Don't Chase Money - Watch This!

If you catch yourself being offended a lot, you're a fool. Oh, wrong. I got easily offended. Like, if I didn't like the way somebody would say something, or I would assume, and what happens is the devil loves to latch onto this because now your imagination is starting to pretend what he's saying. Now, for 15 minutes, I'm in my imagination pretending to argue with this guy. And this guy doesn't even think I exist. And so I sat there and I said, Lord, I'm a fool. I just get offended for no reason. Welcome to the Ignite with Barry McGuire podcast. How would you like to have the time of your life for the rest of your life? How would you like to defeat fear effortlessly, knowing for sure God is hearing and answering your prayers and directing your steps and making everything work for good? This is exciting. Here's the question. How would you like to ignite your life? Stay tuned. Hi, everybody. Welcome back to Ignite. I'm with the famous, the one and only George Janko. Boy, you're reaching massive crowds now with the George Janko Show. And Bella, beside you, she's awesome. Yeah, she's amazing. You're a pair. You really are. Thank you. But if you want to know more about the background and so forth, this is part B of a two-part session. Who knows? We might do a third. Go to the first part, and you get to understand a lot of the personalized stuff and where George has come from. And it's such an interesting story. How God had your heart from, even like when you're a three-year-old. And you would lay on your back and look at God. I mean, how many three-year-olds do that? Third grade. Third grader. How many third graders do that? I mean, it's not very many. You just reminded me. God had your heart then. He knew what you're going to be doing now before the foundation of the world, right? Yeah. He's always known that. But he knew that when you're a third grader. And you were a work in progress all this time. Look at how he's led your life and all the experiences to get you to where you have the maturity that you have. Now, still having the personality and having fun, but with the depth of knowledge. I mean, it's all melded together to make you who you are today. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, praise God. You reminded me of something. The first time I ever preached the gospel, and I just remembered this recently, too, but you reminded me of it. I was, I think, the fifth or sixth grade, but it was elementary school, and there was this Romanian kid. No, wait, wait. You said the first time you ever preached. No, like explain the gospel to somebody. Oh, explain the gospel. When I was talking to Jesus in third grade. Okay, so fifth grade, first time you ever explained the gospel. Yeah, because there was this kid that saw me always praying on the bus. And so he asked me, he goes, like, who do you talk to? See, we're learning. He's coming to sit here. Well, I remember I didn't have any friends. So I was talking to each other. So I was like talking to my only friend I got. You had this growth spurt in recent years. But God had your heart as a third grader. Well, God told me when I was a kid that I was going to be where I'm at right now. I had dreams about this before. Wow. Oh, yeah, many times. Oh, my gosh. Even my mom, like they told me that I was like... legit, like, they told me I was retarded. They put me in a special ed class. And my mom would cry, but she would always wipe her tears and be like, no, the Lord has, like, he's going to be an entertainer. He's already been chosen for that. So they used to pull me out of school, third or fourth grade. So he proved to your mom as well to confirm it. My mom, my dad, my sister, all of them. They were, by the way, not audibly, they were like, George is, they were just kind of like, he's either going to make it as an entertainer or this kid's homeless. You know what I mean? Like, but we believe in God, so we But anyway, so I'm sitting on the bus and I'm just talking to myself. Well, not me. I'm talking to God, right? And this kid comes up to me and he goes, hey, man, like, who are you talking to? And I was like, oh, I'm talking to Jesus. And he was just like, what are you talking about? And I was like, well... I'm Christian. And he was like, oh, I'm Roman Catholic. He's like, I think. Because remember, we're young. We're babies. And I was like, oh, nice. I was like, you have a Bible? And it was just like, no. And I was like, oh, dude, you should have a Bible. Because I just at the time got this child's Bible, like one with like pictures and stuff. And I was like, don't read your mom's. That's too much. Like that. I was like, you need the pictures. And so he was like, I didn't know they make that. Yeah. So we're sitting there on the whole bus, and I just remember the next day. Fifth grade. We're talking about fifth grade. Fifth or sixth grade, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, got it. I remember the next day, or like maybe a few days later. It was a long time ago, so forgive me. But eventually he gets back on the bus, and he's rushing to me. And he sits next to me on the back of the bus, and he goes, look. And he pulls out of his backpack a Bible. Come on. And I look at him, and I just remember, Barry, I swear, I promise this. He pulls out the Bible, and there was something... In me, that was so much joy. And I just remembered being like, oh, this is like a big deal what just happened. And I don't know. And nobody was telling me exactly. Because I was young, you know. In my brain, I didn't even know that other people didn't know about Jesus. Because I'm in a household where my mom's like, it's either you love Jesus or you die. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, I understand. So... When I saw him pull that out and the light in his eyes, like he was so excited and happy, I was just kind of like, oh, this is a very special deal. And then, okay, I'll tell you this other one. This is – because, by the way, I'm always saying this because he wants me to say this. I usually try not to – I like to keep this between you. No, no. I mean, this is – you can't do this as easy on your show, but you can do it on our show. I appreciate that. Um, when I was in that special ed class and there's an attendant, she would, she wasn't even a teacher. She was a guard. Mrs. Love, by the way, shout out. I swear, I wish I could meet her again. She gave me so much hope. And so how funny is her name was Mrs. Love. Isn't that something? Mrs. Love. And so she said. Wherever she is, Lord, bless her. And all that she did to impact you. Also, if Mrs. Love, if you watch this, please reach out to me. I would love to meet you. Sometimes they do. That would be great. We do that once in a while. They actually... She's literally a core member of mine. He can orchestrate that and make that happen. Yeah, Lord, make that happen. But Mrs. Love asked me and everybody in class... where do you see yourself in your future? Like where, like when you die and it was such a deep question, when you die, what is, what do you want to get done? Now, everybody was just talking about, Oh, I want my mom to be like this. I want my dad to be like this. But in my brain, cause I'm a Christian. Remember I was like, Oh, I'm going to meet God when I die. So I sat in class just sitting there thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about it. And this seems very arrogant, what I'm about to say, but remember I was young. Uh, I sat across from her. She goes, what do you want to get done? I was like, when I die, I pray that when I meet Jesus that I turn around and as far as the eyes can see, all those people came because I introduced them to Jesus. And she looked at me. She goes, that's what you want? And I was like, yeah, yeah. And she was so confused by it. Could there be any greater vision? There is no greater vision than you could have. So recently, I had me and my friend, we did a baptism for the first time, and 1,500 people showed up, right? So I'm baptizing people. Oh my goodness. And I start sobbing while I'm baptizing because I'm baptizing somebody, and then this girl comes up to me. We're hours in. My back is on fire. And she comes up to me to ask me if I need a break. And she goes, are you sure you don't need a break? I was like, no, no, I got to keep going. Like, I have energy. Like, I got to keep going. And she looks me in my eyes and she goes, well, let me know if you're okay. Because as far as I can see, she goes, I can't see the ending of this line. And I looked at her and I time traveled back to when I was a child. And I was like, oh, my God. He, like, honored my request to him. Oh, my God. And so it was, that was recently and that was probably, no, no, it is. It was the greatest day of my life. Oh. Yeah. Wow. It beat my wedding. Poor girl. My wife was upset about it. Yeah. Okay. But it's, I got baptized on my wedding, by the way. On your wedding? Yes. I didn't know about this. I grew up in a church where they baptized me as a baby. Okay. And with all respect, in my relationship with the Lord, I, when I was reading the gospel, the baptism is like a proposal. So in my brain, I started laughing. I'm like, what would I do if my wife was like, my wife got dragged into a room. Like, hey, you're going to marry this guy. You know what I mean? Like, it takes away the love of like me being like, no, I want you for myself. Like, not because my mom like pulled my ear and brought you here. And so I was like, no, it's in my heart. I want to get baptized. Now listen to this. I had a friend, not even an atheist. I think he was the antichrist. Like he would like, every time I'd eat a cheeseburger at In-N-Out, he would whisper in my ear, like pretend like you're praying. He'd be like, I give you permission, my child. Oh. And so he would mock Jesus all the time. If I got introduced to a guy named Jose, he'd be like, hey, look, your prayer answered. Like, he was just always mocking me. But I just loved him. I just always. And so my prayer for him was I said, Lord, I don't know how it's possible, but I want him to enter the kingdom before me. I go, I know you can make it work. Right? And so my mom was upset that I wasn't getting... married in the church that I grew up in. But she asked me one request, she goes, hey, your best friend, is your best man. And I, that's my final straw with you. He cannot be your best man if he's not a man of God, because who is there going to hold you accountable in your matrimony between you and Jesus and your wife. And this man doesn't even acknowledge one third of your relationship. And so I called him up and my eyes were like kind of watering because he's, he's my brother. It's not even like my best friend. And I said, Hey man, like, I have argued with my mom about this, but this has kind of been on my heart. Like, I think she's right on this one. And then he goes, well, would it help if it's... No, really? He goes, would it help if recently... I've been wanting to get baptized. And I literally go, dude, you can't, and I start making jokes because I'm a comic. I'm like, bro, you're gonna bring us both to hell. You can't sign a fake relationship with God. I go, cause my mom's gonna be my ass and then I'm gonna have to deal with it with my father in heaven. So I was like, dude, just like, just be the second guy. I wouldn't even give a main guy. Like the second guy will be you. I'll have no main guy. So he starts laughing and he pulls out his Bible. He's like, no, dude, I've been calling out to God. And I think if there is a God, I think he's Jesus Christ. And I was just like, what I mean, I cried, bro. I cried and bathed in my tears. Then Cliff and Stuart, I don't know if you guys know who Cliff and Stuart is. Michael Nolan's desk. But so I'm with Cliff and Stuart and I ask, hey, could you baptize my best friend? And he goes, yeah. And I was like, what the heck? Could you baptize me? Like, I want to get baptized again. So now we're in the wedding. Come on. The water's right here. The thing's right here before I meet my wife. We get into the water and I'm sitting, I'm crying and then ready for this? All my prayers from since I was a kid, flashbacks of me begging Jesus since I was a child. Please let him go into the kingdom first. Please let him go into the kingdom first. As I'm thinking this in my head, all of a sudden they baptize him first into the water. I get goosebumps still. And I'll go, oh my God. Oh my God. He got in there first. Before you. And then I went in there. Oh my God. Goodness. Yeah, that was the second best day of my life. What a great story. It's a continuum, isn't it? And whatever's happening today, we may not see the results of that today. We want results now. But it may be, I mean, you know, for me, it's sometimes decades later before you see the results. I was telling folks today, there was one that I lent a guy to the Lord who was dying in a hospice bed in about 12 minutes. And I had him prayed the prayer over again with his own words so he knew it, understand that he's on his way to heaven. I said, we're going to be in heaven together now, okay? He was laughing. He died about a week later. It took 12 minutes. Actually, no, it took 50 years. I've been sharing with him with no response for 50 years. And he never once asked a question or reaffirmed it anyway. He just, he would change the subject and go, 50 years. Yeah. That's crazy. You know, me and my friends, we used to always joke about, like, you know, Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on the doors and just, like, trying to shake the door. Hey, let me talk to your household. You know what I mean? And we're like, get away from us. And even as Christians, we're like, dude, that's lame. Why do you do it? But I can't tell you how many times I see them knocking on the door. I go, that should be us. Why are we not going to our neighbors and telling people? Yeah, their obedience. Karen and I did that. Yeah? You guys look Mormon, though. Yeah, exactly. You guys are in Utah, just tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Absolutely. And no, our church, our Nazarene church, First Church of Nazarene Detroit, they had one of those classes, and we went. We didn't want to. And they had us out in the neighborhood. In Detroit, in dark neighborhoods at night, you can't do that today. But back, the mindset was different then, but they would actually, I would knock on the door and say, I hope there's nobody home. I was actually thinking. Then they don't know. Oops. So what is the separation between like forcing and letting? Because you know how they say it's the Holy Spirit that lets the seed grow in your heart, right? Yeah. I got a funny story to tell you. Have you ever played God before? Not played him, but tried to become God to somebody else? No. No, no. So when I was young and stupid. Yeah. I assumed to myself, I said, you know what I could do? I could trick this man into being a Christian. And I go, but it's not a big deal, right? I mean, the mob does it for good reasons. The government does it for good reasons. You were serious? Oh, this is a real situation. My buddy comes up to me. And he goes, hey, George. And by the way, my neighborhood friends, this is probably middle school, maybe high school. No, this is high school. High school, I had, like, Colin. His name was Colin. And Ryan, Haley, Olivia, they were my neighborhood friends. They were the only ones that put up with me, honestly, because I just showed up at their house. Like, I'm not going to lie. Like, they had no choice. Yeah. Showing up. Okay, I got it. And so... One of them, they would always show up to my house to have dinner, even when I'm not there. That's how close we were. Like, I'm close with his mom and dad. Love them. He's close with my mom and dad. Love them. And one day he came with waters and eyes because he knows how faithful we are to the Lord. And he's like, I just don't want to lie to you, man. He goes, this is crap. He's like, I don't believe this shit. Like, I don't. He's like, I can't. And then he starts mocking it. And he's like, dude, like, science is where it's really at. And I looked at him, and I weeped in the shower. four hours, man. And then afterwards I got up and I was like, I got it. And my mom's sitting on the couch watching Joyce Myers. And she was just like, George, just let Jesus do what he needs to do. Just chill, pray for him. I go, mom. How long ago was this? Oh, I was like 15, 16 years old. This is like 17 years ago. Just time up for a second because you just did a podcast with Joyce Myers. Yes. Oh, yeah. Joyce Myers is the reason I had a relationship with Jesus Christ. Doing a podcast, that interview, which was brilliant. It was the only one I was nervous about. That had to be, I mean, with all the history. I had to cut out moments of the podcast because I just kept crying. Really? Oh, I was so emotional. I was so emotional. Because I can't tell you how many times. Think about it. When we go to the source of the water, right? We go to somebody who preaches it to you. Joyce is the only one who let me know who Jesus Christ was. No other human being on this earth... Let me know who Jesus Christ was besides Joyce Myers. She was the only one who read me the gospel. She's so real. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I sat down with her for 30 minutes, and I literally just looked up at God. I said, if I could do a quarter of what she's done on this earth, I would do a tremendous amount. Unbelievable. Okay, so listen. Okay, back to you. So my mom was like, listen to Joyce, man. You're not listening to Joyce. And I was like, I got it. And I told God, I said, God, hang back. I got this. Remember, I'm in the special ed class. So I'm bringing that type of talent to my spiritual side. So I go and— Listen, you know this is not the normal— No, of course not. You know what it was? God was teaching me about preaching. Yeah, yeah. He was teaching me about preaching. So I go up to him, and he was all about signs and wonders, right? So I was like, good. I'll manipulate this crap that he likes, point him to Jesus, and then everything will clear out. Yeah. The means justifies the in. Yes. So we go to this event. One of his friends had this thing, and he invited me to it. So I'm sitting there and there's this kid smoking pot in the back of the thing. And I was like, okay, I got this guy on my mind. And in school, I used to have these rosaries that were made out of like, it was like fabric. It wasn't like chains. It was like a fabric rosary. And anytime somebody would come up to me like, yo, I really like that, I would give it to them. Because it was like a couple cents. So I just always give it to them so they could walk out. And it was just like my fun little way of giving people gifts. So I wore that. And so I see this guy. My buddies, me and him, we're talking. He goes into the bathroom. And so I go up to the guy. I pull out cash. I go, yo, here's $100. I go, when this dude comes out, I want you to walk up to him and be like, yo, I love this cross, right? It's, whoa, man, this cross is crazy, right? And he's like, he's sitting there looking at me high. He's like, yeah, all right, man, I'll do that. And it might be it wasn't even like $100. It was like $20. I over-exaggerated that. I'm so sorry. I get the point. In my brain, it was $100 at the time, right? So I hand him $20. My friend goes out of the bathroom and I say, hey, you know what, I was thinking about this sign thing and I think God could use it. He's like, really? And I go, yeah, you know what? How about we set one up for him? And he's like, okay. So I put my cross around his neck and I said, if anybody comes up to you and compliments your cross, Jesus exists. And you got to submit your life and worship him. So he looks at me. He goes, dude, that's such a good idea, man. I can't believe I didn't think about this. This pothead 10 minutes later comes up and goes, whoa, man. I don't see it over there, dude. And I couldn't notice, but your cross is awesome. So my buddy turns to me. He's like, oh, my God. He's real. Oh, my God. And this is where I told him, I said, hey, but you got to be like me, and you have to give him the cross. So my buddy reaches the groove in the cross, and the guy goes, no, no, no, man. I don't want that crap. He goes, I'm into science. And then he just starts talking about everything that Colin has been thinking about recently. And he looks at me, he goes, that's the sign, man. He goes, Christ for sure doesn't exist. And I was like, oh, my God. I pushed him in the wrong direction. So I go home and I start crying my eyes out, crying my eyes out. And I was like, oh, my God, like, that's it. Like, I ruined it. And so I go to my mom. I was like, hey, mom, I like there was fire and I just dumped gasoline on it. I think I lost my friend. And my mom goes, you have no say in this. She goes, you're the messenger, not the savior. She goes, so why don't you get on your knees and go ask God to clean up your mess? And so I go to God and I pray. Maybe seven months later, he gets in a car accident. A drunk driver hit him. Somebody hit him or put him off the line. I don't know exactly what happened. When I got the news, I rushed over. And I rushed over. I couldn't find him, couldn't find him. And then I turn over and I see him looking and he runs up and he grabs me. And he goes, when my car was spinning, he goes, Jesus was holding me the whole time. Whoa. And he goes, I don't know how to explain this. He goes, but while he was holding me, he goes, all I kept thinking is he's only holding me because you're praying for me. Mm-hmm. Until this day, this man's after God's heart like crazy. Like he went above and beyond. Like he was annoying me at some point. He would come and he's like, have you read this verse? I go, buddy, I didn't do this so we could do this all the time. He would write sticky notes all over his house. He became more of a Christian than me. It started annoying me. I kind of tried to put him back at his old lane. I was like. His word never returns void. Yeah. That's such a strong statement. You may walk away and think it's a total failure or a mess or whatever, but God's Word just keeps moving and working. We have no idea. Because it's living. It's God. He's the Word. Well, we are the sowers, not the growers. That's what I've literally— And by the way, Pastor Luke kind of helped me with that because I would get so anxious that people weren't hearing me. that I was like, all right, if this guy doesn't hear me, I have to beat him up. Like, there's no way I'm not. Like, if he doesn't, and it's very conquer mindset, you know what I mean? Like, other religious have that. Like, it's either you bow a knee or we'll kill you type of thing. And that, it's a poison, but that doesn't come from Jesus. That comes from the devil. Yeah, you think? Yeah, yeah. And so I went up to, I went to Pastor Luke one day. I was like, hey, man, if, like, if... I keep getting into these arguments with my family and like, and he stops me right there. He goes, Hey, he goes, you're putting too much on you. He goes, you're putting the world in your hand. He goes, you're not the, you don't, the Holy Spirit does that. It's not your responsibility. Yeah. And you know, it's so funny. More people came to Christ through me when I was way more calm and peaceful. It's kind of like a car salesman. If you go up to him, he's like, well, you know this more than anybody. Yeah. If you go up to somebody and you push your products on them, they'll be like, buddy, get off of me. You know what I mean? But if you're like, no, no, no, my stuff's the best. You don't want it. Don't worry about it. And it kind of naturally just pulls in. I just fall back on the don't argue with a fool. And I find that most people that want to argue, actually really want to argue, are in for the argument. And they don't want an answer anyway. I was the biggest fool. There's too many people that are soft. that are hurting, that are searching, I can't get to them all. So why should I use up my time trying to argue with somebody? Yeah. Don't argue with a fool. You know, you don't cast your pearls before swine. What happens when you love a fool? Yeah. Well, you love them. Oh, yeah. No, no, but what happens if you're absolutely in love, but this person that you're in love with is a fool? What do you do? You just say, hey, all right, buddy, piss off. I already tried. Because a lot of people tell me this. They'll be like, no, I dust my feet and leave. And they get so quick to use that Bible verse. And then I go, buddy, what if Jesus had that heart with us? You know what I mean? I am, and I'll use myself as an example. God doesn't have to tell me a hundred times. He has to tell me 100,000 times. Like, I am brain dead without Jesus. So, like, at what point do we dust our feet with somebody? A knee jerk is, and I won't give a name, but I do have a Jewish friend. And I love him to death. No, just the setup of that. He is the most foul guy I know. He has words of vulgarity that I never even heard before. And he's just angry. And he's gotten mad at me for talking about the Lord, you know. So I back off. I still talk to him about the Lord. And he said horrible things. I just love him to death. And I just, the more he hates Mac, he doesn't hate me. He loves me. I know he actually loves me. But it's this knee-jerk reaction to the message he doesn't want to hear, you know. He's watching this. He's like, no, I hate you. Yeah. Exactly. I just, I'm overwhelming him with love. And my prayer is anybody that knows the relationship, but I've been loving people praying for him as well, is that he'll do what a lot of folks have done. I've led a lot of people to the Lord when they're dying. They don't hear about it, but when they're dying, all of a sudden they have an epiphany. Maybe I should talk to Barry. And so that's fine. I'm praying that will still happen with him. But love conquers all. It's all about love. Just unending. There's no container, no way to contain it. Just love on him and allow God. That's all my responsibility. I can't get him saved. How does a man stop becoming a fool? How does a man stop becoming a fool? Hmm. I, well, how does a man, I'm trying to think of a good answer to that one. You got an answer. You tell me the answer, then I'll agree with it. Okay. I was reading Proverbs. Okay. And I realized when I'm writing it down, I was like, oh, I'm not the good guy in this book. I'm the dumb guy. Yeah. And so I kind of surrendered myself. And then verses started popping out to me. And there was one, and I pray this kind of sticks with somebody, man. If you catch yourself being offended a lot, you're a fool. Oh, wow. And I think that's where I had to kind of naturally grab. I got easily offended. Like if I didn't like the way somebody would say something or I would assume. And what happens is the devil loves to latch on to this because now your imagination is starting to pretend what he's saying. Yeah. Now, for 15 minutes, I'm in my imagination pretending to argue with this guy. And this guy doesn't even think I exist. And so I sat there and I said, Lord, I'm a fool. I just get offended for no reason. And one day, this guy said something to me that really offended me. Now, my dad raised me... beating up gangbangers at a liquor store. So as soon as this guy disrespected me, I was like, oh, I'm going to have to walk away with his teeth in my pocket. There's no way I'm going to let him do this in front of my wife like that. And immediately I was about to do it that I remembered that Bible verse. You were a work in progress. We're always a work in progress. I still am. I'm under construction. When you show up, I'm the guy that everybody yells at on Scottsdale. They're still working on this road. We do. Yeah. So I sat there and I said, hold on, hold on. I just got offended. I just got offended. This is good practice. All right, Lord, help me not be offended. And so I took a second and not audibly, but the Lord whispered, he goes, why are you at the center of your universe? That's what it's about. That's why you're offended. Yes. Because I was like, how dare you treat me this way? Because I immediately said, hey, hey, do you know who I am? Do you know what I'm about? Do you know this? Do you know that about me? And then God said, did you ever consider him? So I took myself out. I said, okay, what if he was this way because of this? Or what if he was this? Or what if he was that? And then, And so I started realizing, oh, I should serve him. This is the guy that I should wash his feet. You know what I was at the time? The disciples in the upper room being like, I ain't washing anybody's feet, dude. Like, you know, you gotta wash my feet, dude. And so finally when I started washing his feet, I saw his eyes, he became way more peaceful with me. And so I realized, I was like, oh, only a fool is offended. I thought he was dumb, but the truth is, it was me. It was a donkey telling another donkey, hey man, you're stupid. Jesus, all the agony. In him, everything was created. Man who he created is judging him and now driving nails to his hands, and he says, forgive them to his God, his Father, Heavenly Father. Forgive them. They know not what they do. When people are on that side, they don't know. They're just lost. They're not evil. They're lost. Can I ask you a conspiracy thing? Yeah, sure. Because me and him had dinner, and we were talking about hell is eternal, about dinosaurs, about all these things. And he was just like, no, I don't agree with you on any of this. And by the way, not a lot of people do, but it was just my pondering thought. I got a new pondering thought I want to give to you. No, but I love to see... Those conversations are fun. It's not about salvation. We're on our way to heaven. We're glorifying God. We love God forever. But there's always the points about, you know, is the rapture next week or is it 100 years from now? It's a fun conversation. But the root of it all is he saved us. He loves us. We're going to heaven. We're spending touring together. A billion years from now, we'll be hanging out. Can you believe that? I think about that all the time. I mean, it's mind-boggling. What was I saying? I'm trying to distract you so you won't see. Oh, the conspiracy. Oh, yeah, so check this out. In the beginning. Oh, yeah, you're trying to get me to not do it. I'm trying to get you. No, no. Okay, goodbye, folks. No, no, no. They still have four minutes. In Genesis, it says that it was created for him through him. Yes. Right? Yes. I got this image in my mind. You're not supposed to stump the host, you know, but it's okay. I'm used to it. Okay, all right. The... The thought, okay, Adam and Eve walked with Jesus in the garden, right? Because if they're walking with God, I'm assuming it's his flesh form and it's Jesus. This is my thought process. Yeah, I agree. In the beginning was darkness, right? But also it says in the gospel that everything was created for him, through him. Through him, yep. This is my brain, and I want somebody to correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I picture God dropping himself in an atmosphere of darkness and just literally walking around. And when he was saying, let there be light, it wasn't like a spirit of voice. It was literally him in a video game in darkness, and he's looking around and being like, I want mountains there. I want light here. And he's walking around and he's creating things. Can you imagine? So think about this. It's like a video game. So this guy came up to me. He goes, well, why did this tree says it's been here for thousands of years? Okay, but if we were in a video game and we dropped ourselves down, would we be like, yeah, plant that tree there and wait a couple billion years until it grows? Or would God be like, no, I want this to be sized at this age and at this time? Does that make sense? Because Adam was born an adult. He was predestined as an adult. So why do they get so confused when these mountains were pre-aged? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? We have no idea. We've got to knock on people's doors and talk about this. No, no, it's true. I don't waste my time with it because it's not about salvation. But at the same time, whatever they find in archaeological studies, God could have made it that way. He can do anything. If he wants to make it out of as an adult or he wants to make that ground like it's five million years old, he can do that. That's what I think. Also, do you believe in aliens? In what? Do you believe in aliens? I believe in the supernatural being demonic. That's what I believe in. I believe that there's no way God was around for trillions of years and was like, can't touch anything until humans are made. You know what I mean? I think he was creating all the time. When I look up at space and there's like, oh, this is infinite. And scientists are like, how could God be real when this just keeps growing? I'd be like, this just proves that God's still creating things, dude. What are we talking about here? The scriptures are full of demonic activity, particularly in the last days, signs and wonders and all that kind of stuff. I don't go over there because it's particularly that they just want to be into an argument. I don't care about it. Do you know God loves you? That's the most important thing. I'm not going to debate with this or that. I do know it. If there was an alien force, okay, it would be in scripture. It'd be Bible prophecy. The Bible is true. It's absolute truth. Yeah. But it does talk about spirituality. There's other things. But it does. But that's demonic activity. So that explains it. What about angels? Yeah. Oh, we have angels around us all the time. You have guardian angels. Do you know you have guardian angels looking after you? Let's talk about that. What was he doing half of my life? Was he sleeping or something like that? We're out of time. All right. I'm getting kicked out. I can't believe this. His producers are like, get him out. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're going to do part C. We're going to talk about is hell forever? Let's see. We're going to have some fun. Okay, okay. Last story, great story, any last parting words you want to give those folks out there watching us? I'll give you one. The reason I don't stress about my work is because just like the plants that we reap and sow, if your business doesn't grow, it's not about you. It's about who's managing it. One day when I started getting brand deals, I was in L.A. and I was struggling and I needed brand deals. I got a brand manager. And he sees me and he goes, hey, man, you got to take Jesus out of your bio. And I was like, what? He's like, he goes, it's not a religious thing, man. He goes, and I love that you love Jesus. He goes, but when I'm pitching you, he goes, and people see that, they're going to think that, hey, man, we don't want to be working with religion or politics. It has nothing to do with it. It's nothing to do with religion or politics. It's just business. Even my dad, Middle East America, goes, hey, he's right, man. Get rid of it. Worship Jesus by yourself. Make the money, man. And then give Jesus the money. And so I looked at my dad's info. I looked at their info and I was like, yo, I'm going to talk to you later. I'm going to talk to you tomorrow. I'll pray about it. But I knew what I was going to do. I just didn't want to punch him through the phone. So I asked God, I said, God, you've got to give me patience, man. This is pure George. This is pure George. So I go up to him and I'm a firecracker. My mom raised me, right? Really? Yeah, yeah. So I'm kind of heated that he asked me that because in my brain, I'm like, bro, how stupid are you? That's like me going up to him and be like, did you get that yarmulke off your head, bro, when you're talking to me? It's like, dude, there's the big no-nos. You know what I mean? Like, you don't do that. And so he comes up to me, he goes, yo, so what'd you think? And I said, nah, I'm going to keep it, man. I go, because you asked me to remove Jesus from my business and that's impossible. My business is Jesus. And I go, even though I don't do it for business, what I do everything here is to honor him. And by the way, which is really funny because my skits were super like not Christian at all. And so he goes, all right, man. And I'll never forget this. He goes, all right, but don't come crying to me if I can't get you a brand deal. And I looked at him and I said, hey, man, you have no idea who provides. You think you provide, but it's my Lord who provides. So my mom... Weeps to me on the phone. And she goes, that's when I knew you became a man. She goes, that's how I knew I did a good job as a mother. And she goes, and I got to tell you something. When I weeped to the Lord and I thanked him, he told me that he was going to bless you. And I just want to let you know you're about to be blessed. Now, this is a true story. I have the contracts and I documented it. Seven days in a row from that day. I got seven brand deals in a row. Seven days in a row. From that day. Made more money than I made in all the years that I've ever lived. And the guy comes up to me and goes, whose God is yours, man? I got to work with your God. And I was like, dude, yeah. But yeah, praise God. That was the day that I told the Lord. I said, you know what? I'm never going to chase money. And it was that day. I never chased money. Money chases me. He wants to bless you. But only if you keep him first. And you realize your comedy is about him. It's about bringing people to him. Car wax. It doesn't matter what you do. Even a stupid company like Car Wax. Seriously? You work on Car Wax, but you see your business. Car Wax is your pulpit to tell people about Jesus. And he blesses the Car Wax Company. We have all this success. But I don't glory in that success. I just marvel at it. I think what it is like... As soon as I made it a promise to God and an actual decision, and I can't hold my own promises. I asked God to help me hold my promises. I said, help me not worship money because it's so easy to because it's either God's going to help me in this situation or I have to step up and do it myself with my new God, Cash. And so I told God, I said, yo, you're my God. As soon as I put my posture there, I never worried about money another day in my life. I truly, I never have. And so a lot of people have these books and they have these, a lot of my friends, they make money off of teaching people business. But, you know, it's so sad and it breaks my heart. I know what their life looks like. And I'm like, you have no business teaching men how to lead. You can't lead your household. So what if they become a big business? So what? I go, you have a huge house, but your kids don't talk to you. You don't know where your wife is. Why are you teaching these other men how to become men? So, I mean, listen, you could ask God for everything, but it... A lot of us don't realize that we ask God to speed up what's killing us. Okay, focus on them. Just talk right to them. Give them that message. Hey, listen to me. You know the people from L.A. I can't stand this guy at all. Listen! Listen! Come back for part C. We're going to be talking about angels or is the government actually sending UFOs towards us? All right, come here real quick. Don't forget to sign up to the Daily Wire. We just cloned Michael. All right. Next up is Ben Shapiro. We'll see you guys later. I can't add anything to that. I don't think you should. I think you should end right there. Thank you, Lauren.
