Cults | Contend for the Faith: Why Doctrine Still Matters

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440
Jude, this will be barring
something crazy.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,560
Happening we always have the
door we.

3
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:09,680
Could our last episode in the
series on the Colts?

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,800
And really, I think it's like a
punctuation.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,080
Episode.
And it really comes.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,880
So you and I are both kind of
studying up for at least one,

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,040
maybe 15 episodes on
presuppositions.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,720
Oh yeah, you're loving it.
You are loving it, Michael.

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,960
And so we were listening to this
book called Only Believe.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,200
And it's very difficult for me
listening to this book because

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,480
there'll be times where I'm
like, oh, yeah, that's 100%

12
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,560
right.
And then there'll be times like,

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360
this is the worst argument I've
ever heard.

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,520
So like, I'm like, do I have my
guard up?

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,960
Am I listening?
Am I like, you know, a critic or

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,000
am I good?
But he does talk about Jude and

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,520
earnestly contending for the
faith.

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,680
And when I was teaching, I was a
youth pastor at CBC, youth

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,480
leader, probably, maybe not
youth pastor, youth leader.

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,000
And we went through the book of
Jude, probably like a verse or

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,640
two.
Even memorized.

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,240
It and we memorized all of it.
Yeah.

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,040
So it just called to mind.
I was like, oh, you know, that

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,040
kind of goes along with our cult
things and why we did what we

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,120
did and why we thought it was
good for us to look at those

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,240
areas because we are supposed
to, as we've talked about,

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720
contending earnestly.
Oh, that, that's so good.

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,040
It's like in the Christian life,
you've got this balance.

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,680
You want to be all things for
all people for the gospel, but

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240
at the same time you've got to
earnestly contend for the faith

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,800
and that that's important.
And I think, like you said, nice

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,000
little punctuation capstone.
It's not like we just want to

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,080
pick fights.
You know what?

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,000
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
'cause there's a lot of stuff

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,640
that we could pick it like.
We did mention some things that

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,000
not necessarily core like.
Right.

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,640
Yeah, but that.
Are problematic like prayer to

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,320
the the dead Saints or the
Marian doctrines.

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,280
We we find those problematic
because it could end up edging

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,520
into like a core issue, but
yeah.

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,479
And what I like about this in
reference to this book that

42
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,480
we're listening to, So what some
priests suppers will say when it

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,200
comes to apologetics, another
version of their apologetics,

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,120
they will say they just use
biblical apologetics, they use

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,000
expository apologetics.
So I like this because you're

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,520
using exposition for your
apologetic.

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
You know that and and and you're
probably not going to do the

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,880
traditional precept route.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,440
And, and, and this guy, he
doesn't even call himself a

50
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,120
young earth creationist some
more.

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,080
He calls himself a biblical.
Creationist.

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200
When I, when I heard that, I was
like, oh, this, this, that's

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,720
when I was like, I'm sending
this to Michael.

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,000
This is good.
What is his name?

55
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Paul Frank.
Paul Taylor.

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,320
Paul Taylor.
He's like a disciple of Sigh.

57
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200
Do you know this guy Psy?
I see him all the time online.

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
He's like he is big in the pre
sub community.

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,520
I need to find both these guys.
The let me tell ya, sorry, we're

60
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,600
shaving a little bit of rabbit
trail.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Zach and I are both listening to
the audio book that's available

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,040
on Amazon.
I might buy the book to

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,080
reference some stuff, but I
think I'll be fine.

64
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,400
But the narrator does this guy
no favors 'cause he

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,160
mispronounces words.
And you?

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,280
Yeah.
What were some of them that were

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,080
pretty?
Cool Kalam.

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
What the Kalam Cosmological
argument?

69
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,280
That's like one of the words you
want to nail if you're an

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,200
apologetics.
Right.

71
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Yeah, yeah, there's a number
that he gets wrong.

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,360
And I had to remind myself, this
is not the author speaking.

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960
This is the narrator speaking.
It doesn't make you know, 'cause

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,280
you wanna, 'cause you think you,
you kind of get where it's

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,480
associated.
The author is speaking to you

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040
and you're like, OK, the author
probably knows how to pronounce

77
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Kalam, so we we won't attribute
this to I.

78
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,120
Love it.
This guy's presuppositional

79
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160
young earth like worked in
association with Ken Ham.

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,920
I was like, this is this is the
kind of thing I need to send

81
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Michael.
This is the book for Michael,

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Yeah.
Well, let's get let's get into

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Jude.
Let's look at some.

84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Background.
Take it to the next level.

85
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Let's fire up that twangy music.
From the hearts of the Low

86
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where

87
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
we take theology to the next
level.

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120
So the book, the author, Jude.
Who's it written by?

89
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,560
I think it's Jude, although it's
weird to me that these things

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,400
are controversial at some.
But Jude, the brother of James,

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,800
and you read it, he calls
himself a bond servant of

92
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160
Christ.
He doesn't even kind of use this

93
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
familial privilege there.
Yeah, that's interesting.

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,240
Some of the key ideas of the
book.

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,280
It's a very short book, but it's
an urgent call to defend

96
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,640
Apostolic doctrine.
A warning against false

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,640
teachers.
Emphasis on judgment, holiness

98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,520
and perseverance.
Strong use of Old Testament and

99
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Jewish examples.
Clay throwers, Spidey senses

100
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,920
went off.
Old Testament examples.

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Are you?
Yeah.

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,600
It's great.
Yeah.

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,080
The book.
Can be not similar to second

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Peter.
We actually did a podcast.

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,920
It's kind of a really just
looking at the not going through

106
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Jude, but kind of looking at the
similarity between Jude and

107
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920
second Peter 'cause they are
striking and they're like in

108
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,280
order.
It seems like, you know, there's

109
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,080
a lot of overlap on these things
like false teachers, judgment,

110
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,400
imagery, moral corruption,
probably shared some, you know,

111
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,760
dependence on the literary use
or, or tradition.

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,640
So anyway, we won't go through
that.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,960
We'll cover some new, new
material.

114
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,720
Yeah.
So verse one and two, we have a

115
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
greeting.
Verse 3 through 4, kind of the

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760
purpose shift we'll talk about.
And then he's going to give some

117
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,680
examples of judgement 5 through
7, description of false teachers

118
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,960
8 through 16, Exhortations 2,
believers 17 through 23.

119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,560
And then he's going to end up
with two verses of doxology, so

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680
25 verses total in the book so.
What a great doxology have you?

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600
The only thing I've ever about
Jude is like intend for the

122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120
faith and the doxology.
It's like, man, so good.

123
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520
All right, so why did he
originally write it?

124
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Jude says.
He wanted to, you know, write

125
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,600
something about our shared
salvation in verse 3.

126
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080
And maybe that would be
something like what you'd

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040
imagine in the book of Ephesians
is, you know, a general book,

128
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,120
you know.
But he says that he was

129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:25,120
compelled to write to encourage
us to earnestly contend for the

130
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,520
faith because he sees a threat
to our church and this is an

131
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
internal threat.
No, I, I think, I think that's

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,400
good too.
I like that that's how it

133
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,200
starts.
It's like this shift because

134
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,400
that's like the first impulse,
you know, this common salvation.

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,800
But there are important things
at hand that need addressed all.

136
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Right.
So the breakdown of earnestly

137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,160
contend, the word contend
earnestly comes from the root

138
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,720
agonism may and we get our word
agonize from that, but it means

139
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,720
to fight or struggle.
It does have this prefix EPI on

140
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
it, which means to intensify
that fight or struggle.

141
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,720
So it is not a passive
disagreement.

142
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,840
It is active, intentional
defense of the faith, and it is

143
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,760
the faith that is that objective
faith that has been handed down,

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,160
rooted in Apostolic teaching,
which we would find in our

145
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Scriptures, Jude says.
It is once for all delivered.

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,480
Past tense.
It's already delivered, kind of

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,200
just like Paul says.
Anyone else gives you a

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,240
different gospel?
Yeah, you see these themes.

149
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520
It's not like, hey, just be on
the lookout for these new

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640
apostles, take what they're
teaching.

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760
We don't, we don't see that at
all.

152
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760
And you, I think you mentioned
the term internal apologetics

153
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400
and that's good 'cause you might
be like, we're connecting faith.

154
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,720
What's the context, who we
talking to?

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,960
We're talking to the out people
outside the church, inside the

156
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,640
church.
It's not really for these people

157
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,600
that are outside the church.
Yeah, it is specifically rooted

158
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,720
at or focus at the folks inside
the church that we could guard

159
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,600
against false doctrine, because
Jude's concern is that there are

160
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,240
people inside the church who
look like church members

161
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,240
potentially who are distorting
the gospel.

162
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,640
That's scary scary.
So let's go through his concern,

163
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,560
starting with a big one, denial
of Christ.

164
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,640
You would think you could like
you would really sniff this out

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
if like we had a church member
like did not, you know?

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Yeah, but you see, you know,
some of the the cults that we

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,840
covered, you would see them, you
know, having issues with their

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,440
doctrine of Christ.
So specifically Judah says the

169
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,320
dying our only master and Lord
Jesus Christ.

170
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,960
We're not giving a lot of
context to what Judah is

171
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,640
actually talking about at his
time.

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,080
We have some guesses.
It could be early proto

173
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Gnostics, you know, some of
their just the the distortions

174
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,360
that they give, perhaps the dial
of Christ authority or of his

175
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,120
divinity.
Maybe just some moral rebellions

176
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,880
framed as freedom within Christ.
We don't exactly know.

177
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,400
But we do know that Christ was a
central doctrine for Jude, big

178
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240
enough for him to write about it
and call it out.

179
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,680
And so application for today
Christology is non negotiable.

180
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Yeah, that's good.
It's not like it's like the kind

181
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
of right, kind of wrong that
it's like Trinity, Christ, like

182
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760
these things are very important.
It's like it's one of those

183
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040
things it's like nice to.
It's nice to reference some of

184
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,680
those early creeds, Very helpful
on this side of things.

185
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,000
And you mentioned it.
It's like some of these, you

186
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160
know, we look at LDS, we look at
these things like you're

187
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,480
drifting with the doctrine of
Christ to get some wacky places.

188
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,960
That's right.
Second big point was on the

189
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,680
nature of the gospel itself.
So these folks deny their only

190
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,360
Lord and Master of Jesus or turn
the grace of our God into

191
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,560
licentiousness.
So we're giving a little bit

192
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,560
more details for this one.
Licentiousness means to have

193
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:57,000
license and so there could be
this brand of antinomianism,

194
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840
which means that you have grace
and no moral restraint.

195
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,200
Basically.
Remember Paul said, well, why

196
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
don't we send more so that grace
may bound.

197
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,600
He's like, you know, may it
never be.

198
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,400
So those types of ideas, it's
basically, hey, you've been

199
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
saved, go live it up.
Yeah, yeah, that's good.

200
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,560
And it's like we talked about,
you know, in our last episode on

201
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,360
the cult series, like with Amish
Mennonite, like, you know, maybe

202
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,120
there's some legalism in there.
And we talked about like

203
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,760
fundamentalist background.
It's like, you know, how much

204
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,320
weight is, you know, legalism in
any capacity is not good.

205
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,120
But it's like, I mean, are you
depending on these works for

206
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,200
your salvation or on the other
side of things, does obedience

207
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,480
not matter at all?
Does a pattern of life not

208
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,160
honoring God matter at all?
You know, some of this is like

209
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,600
on a on a scale or like a little
spectrum.

210
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840
You know, we all are perfect in
this, you know?

211
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,240
Yeah, it's very good.
So we have legalism on one side,

212
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,480
licenses on the other side, both
of them are distortions of the

213
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,040
gospel.
And so Jude is going to be like,

214
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,200
Hey, we have to fight for the
the correct gospel.

215
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
And So what we would be right
there with Jude.

216
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,400
And that kind of gives Lynn Lynn
to what we saw as especially

217
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,280
because we started out, you
know, the the series.

218
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840
I don't think we were as we're
fine, but then as we did more of

219
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480
them, like, OK, we really need
to hit these 4 over and over.

220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,080
The doctrine of God proper, your
view of Christ, your view of

221
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,280
salvation and your authority
structure.

222
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,880
And you see some of the stuff
you know, repeated.

223
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Jude's going to talk about
Christ and the gospel.

224
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,360
You know, maybe you know, for us
Easter was just a few days ago

225
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760
our pastor preached out of First
Corinthians 15.

226
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,960
But if you read the beginning of
First Corinthians 15, Paul's

227
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,480
going to say now I make known to
you brethren, the gospel which I

228
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,040
preached to you, which also you
received and which you also

229
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,480
stand by which you were saved.
If you hold fast the word which

230
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,680
I preach to you, unless you
believed in vain.

231
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,760
And now he's going to give what
he said for I delivered to you

232
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,480
as of first importance.
These are the highest doctrines

233
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,040
in in in Christianity.
What I also received that Christ

234
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,280
died for our sins according to
Scripture that he was buried

235
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440
that he was raised on the third
day according to Scriptures that

236
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120
he appeared to Cephas and others
and and so he's going to go on.

237
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,960
But those are the those are the
big some of the big buckets.

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,040
So if you get that kind of stuff
wrong, we do have to contend

239
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,960
earnestly and say that that is
not Christianity, that is not

240
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,080
right, that is a false belief.
So let's talk about these false

241
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,520
believers within the church
again, you know, you might,

242
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,600
might read this and think he's
thinking about, you know, these

243
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,960
pagans and Pagan rituals.
It's that's not what Jude's

244
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
talking about.
He's, he's looking at those that

245
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,600
look like Christians.
They, they operate within the

246
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,480
church, but they're not part of
the church.

247
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,920
They they don't, you know,
believe in to live out these key

248
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640
doctrines, but they're very
closely connected in the church,

249
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,720
like not like this person on the
friend or on the outside, but

250
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,080
actively involved.
Yeah, and they could be sitting

251
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,200
next to you.
That's right.

252
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,680
They could hold leadership
places, you know, so they could

253
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,000
be named.
You know, Zach, you never know

254
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,680
if, who these people could be,
but all right, so Jude is going

255
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:07,320
to give some examples.
And if you're, if it's your

256
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,360
first time reading through Jude,
you're like, what are you

257
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,280
talking about?
But I think the point is, just

258
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,720
like these people who are in the
church, they're not going to

259
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,960
benefit from their proximity to
church because God is going to

260
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,560
judge false teaching and false,
you know, leaders.

261
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,240
The same way He's going to give
us 3 examples of cloak proximity

262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,720
but being judged.
No, that's, that's good.

263
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,000
It's like you're getting the big
picture.

264
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Like, I think it's easy to be
like, let's get in the details

265
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,480
and you kind of miss this big
theme that that Jude's talking

266
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,000
about.
Yeah, so three folks who were

267
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,560
close but no cigar, Israel's
Jews out of Egypt, You know, the

268
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840
10 bad spies came back.
They gave a bad report.

269
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,880
God says, OK, all of you, you're
never going to enter the

270
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,040
promised land.
So for 40 years they wander in

271
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,960
the wilderness and all of that
generation dies off.

272
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,120
So that's an example of folks
who they're God's chosen people.

273
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,360
They had the revelation like God
was leading them.

274
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,320
It's like, oh, we just did not
obey.

275
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,520
We did not believe in what God
was saying.

276
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520
So there was consequences,
rebellious angels.

277
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,000
So just because you're an Angel,
does it mean you know that

278
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,240
proximity to God?
Yeah, that's a good one.

279
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
There's folks, there's folks,
there's angels who left their

280
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
proper abode.
Different discussions on what

281
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,640
what we think that means.
But the take away is they get

282
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,360
some type of special early
punishment and they're reserved

283
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,320
in darkness for for that last
day.

284
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,080
I know, and it doesn't say
gloomy darkness.

285
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,040
I like.
I like or like whatever it says.

286
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280
That's great, man.
And then lastly, Sodom,

287
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,240
Gomorrah, they were close to
Abraham, and, you know, Lot

288
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,600
lived there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

289
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080
But that didn't save them, like,
because they still got judged

290
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,800
and completely annihilated from
the face of the earth, those

291
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,240
towns, because of their sins.
So proximity to the truth

292
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,120
doesn't equal participation in
salvation.

293
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,040
Man, that, that, that's really
good.

294
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,080
Let's look at these false
leaders in depth.

295
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,840
Who talks about these in verse 8
through 16?

296
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880
And there, there are marks,
there's signs, there's moral and

297
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,960
spiritual corruption.
Judy uses the phrase defiles the

298
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
flesh, likely talking about
sexual immorality.

299
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,840
They reject authority.
We talked about authority a lot

300
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,560
in our cult series.
God's authority possibly

301
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,520
mediated through Scripture and
leadership.

302
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,640
And then revile angelic
majesties, likely.

303
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Maybe it's like arrogant speech
about spiritual realities and

304
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,320
maybe there's, you know, some
Jewish tradition tied in here.

305
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,680
You see a lot of people again,
get get consumed with the

306
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,200
details.
Not saying that's bad, but it's

307
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,080
like you're like, oh, Michael
disputing with Satan.

308
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,040
It's like a weird thing, you
know, what's this mean?

309
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,800
All these kind of things.
All right.

310
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,960
So those folks that we just
talked to, Zach just talked

311
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,360
about where are they headed?
What's their trajectory?

312
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,280
They're headed towards judgment.
And again, he's going to give us

313
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,160
some 3 old tests and examples of
folks headed towards judgment.

314
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,720
He's going to basically talk
about these unreasoning animals

315
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,160
that are headed off to
slaughter.

316
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,520
They have no idea.
They're just marching dumbly

317
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560
towards their demise.
Balaam.

318
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,800
Yeah.
He's like whipping his donkey,

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,320
like, go forward, go forward.
But he was headed right towards

320
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,080
destruction.
And then Cora, this Levite who,

321
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,960
you know, rebelled against
Moses's leadership, that he was

322
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,840
appointed by God.
And of course, all of him and

323
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,520
his ilk were like, swallowed up
by the earth.

324
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,520
That's wild.
Yeah.

325
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840
So the the trajectory is not
good.

326
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040
You know, we have the animals
that are killed, Balaam, who was

327
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240
almost killed in Korra, who was
swallowed up by the earth.

328
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,960
Man that that that is good.
So let's talk about why are they

329
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,400
dangerous?
Jude is does this very well by

330
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,520
giving us these metaphors to
think about hidden reefs.

331
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,240
You know, think of a reef, you
don't see it on the surface.

332
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,360
It's unseen destruction beneath
A seemingly calm surface.

333
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Clouds without water.
When you see clouds, you might

334
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,880
be thinking it's gonna rain
soon.

335
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,520
But when you don't see the rain,
it's like, oh, that's not what I

336
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,720
thought.
There's this promise of

337
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,200
something, but but doesn't
deliver autumn trees without

338
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,200
fruits like we see other places
in Scripture.

339
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,280
If you know there's no spiritual
yield from these false leaders,

340
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,000
wild waves, there's a lot of
chaos, no substance and

341
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,839
wandering stars really talking
about there's no stability,

342
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,280
there's no permanence.
There's wandering on to the next

343
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,599
next big thing.
Yeah.

344
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,400
And I think the common theme in
in across all those that that we

345
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,240
read there is that there is
probably a promise of something

346
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:37,360
good that fails you in the end.
And that's the that's the danger

347
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,920
of false leaders is 'cause you
think you're headed in the right

348
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,720
direction.
And not only were you not stay

349
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,480
neutral, you're headed in the
wrong direction.

350
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,680
All right, so we get a number of
characteristics of these folks.

351
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,840
Jude talks about them committing
ungodly deeds, being grumblers,

352
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,440
fault finders.
So I think we all we're called

353
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,200
to find faults to a degree.
But you know, you've been around

354
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,440
the people that they just pick
everything that can never be

355
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:10,080
satisfied, lust driven, arrogant
speech, they flatter for selfish

356
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,920
gain.
They cause the visions among

357
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,280
people.
They're worldly minded and this

358
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,240
says they are devoid of the
spirit.

359
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,200
That's a big deal because that
means he's basically saying

360
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,200
they're they're not saved,
they're not true believers.

361
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,040
What Jude does well is he paints
this picture, paints these false

362
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,600
teachers, but he also gives us
the response, how do we act when

363
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,800
we come across these false
teachers?

364
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,160
Well, the first one, it's a
really good one.

365
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,560
Expect it.
You know these things are going

366
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,880
to happen.
You look around the landscape

367
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,680
today.
You look around the cults we've

368
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,160
talked about shouldn't be
surprising predicted by Christ

369
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,360
and the apostles.
So not only should we expect it,

370
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,400
but build yourself up.
It's a good time to grow in

371
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,960
doctrine to mature in Christ.
You read Ephesians 6, the armor

372
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,240
of God.
You know, you're, you're

373
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,800
leveling up and you're really
getting ready, building

374
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,360
stability, putting on this armor
so you can face the Wiles of the

375
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,440
devil.
A prayer and the Holy Spirit

376
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440
depend on God.
It's not just knowing a bunch of

377
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,720
facts, assenting intellectually,
but really truly experientially

378
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,520
depending on God, in addition to
maybe knowing some of these

379
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,800
facts as well.
And then last one of the last

380
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,040
ones, I'll say, keep yourselves
in the love of God.

381
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,520
And this might be like, what's
this mean?

382
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240
It's kind of vague.
Like what, what, how are we

383
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,560
going to nail this down?
Probably has to do with being

384
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,400
obedient, being faithful,
persevering.

385
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,600
You come to a place like
Charleston Bible Church, we're

386
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,080
talking about Acts 242 all the
time.

387
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,080
That's good.
Rails all.

388
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,160
Those fundamental building
blocks of the life of a

389
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Christian.
And it's not like you're trying

390
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,240
to keep yourself 'cause we know
if you are in Christ, you are

391
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,200
loved by God.
So but you we, I think we

392
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,720
experience a greater
relationship and a greater

393
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,520
growing with him.
So we kind of.

394
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,840
Remain in that.
I think I have a note here.

395
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,840
Let me see how it's worded here.
Yeah, it's not earning that a

396
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,480
love, but it's truly abiding in
that love.

397
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,840
I think that's a good way of
thinking about it.

398
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,520
But yeah, all those disciplines,
being in the Word, fellowship

399
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,320
and other believers exalting
Christ, whether that's in

400
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,840
worship or whether you're
evangelizing or edifying Saints.

401
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,480
And obviously we said prayer
there and then kind of good

402
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,560
going along with our.
Dovetails together.

403
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,160
Our end times thing, but you
know we have this hope in

404
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Christ.
He is going to return.

405
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,000
So that eschatology, our hope in
the end times, even though we

406
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,400
may not all agree on how it's
going to work out, we do know it

407
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760
is going to work out.
Christ is going to reign and

408
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,160
that should give us hope.
It exactly.

409
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,760
Let's talk about another
response is how we minister

410
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,040
toward others, show mercy to
doubters.

411
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,240
You don't have to just come in
heavy-handed like you, you,

412
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,840
you're you're so dumb.
Shows a mercy, save others,

413
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
participate in things like
evangelism, proclaim the word of

414
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,320
God and exercise caution with
the deeply correct corrupted.

415
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,440
There's a phrase in in Jude,
either 22 or 23 that says hating

416
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,640
even the garment polluted by the
flesh.

417
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,800
And so, you know, there there's
a polluted garment.

418
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,040
You're not going to want to, you
know, put that on, be super

419
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760
close to that.
All right.

420
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720
So connection to our cult
series, we've already kind of

421
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,480
mentioned it, but just to kind
of tie it in formally, Jude

422
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,000
provides A biblical
justification for that series

423
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,560
because we are looking to
contend for these key doctrines,

424
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,320
identifying internal distortions
of those key doctrines and

425
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,440
prioritizing the truth, our
approach to Jude's priorities,

426
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,200
we are focusing on those central
doctrines, not peripheral

427
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,640
oddities, although we did
mention some that we thought

428
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080
could potentially affect key
doctrines.

429
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,720
We wanted to evaluate those
doctrines against Scripture's

430
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,840
claims and recognize that false
teaching often comes from

431
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,960
within.
Great, I love it.

432
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,080
We're at the Doxology the final.
Do you just want to read that

433
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,800
bad boy do we have?
It's like it's like you can't

434
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,320
you can't do better than this
Jude Doxology.

435
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,200
And it'll be a great way as we
kind of wind down towards the

436
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,760
end of the episode here.
Yeah, there we go says if I can

437
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Scroll down there now to him who
is able to keep you from

438
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,760
stumbling and to make you to
stand and I I love this stand in

439
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,760
the presence of his glory, to
stand blameless and to stand

440
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320
with great joy.
That's that's crazy to me.

441
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,800
To the only God our Savior,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,

442
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,960
be glory, majesty, dominion, and
authority before all time and

443
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,320
now and forever.
Wow, and and the way you broke

444
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,800
it up in the notes is so good.
There's this promise that that

445
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,120
God's the one that keep you from
stumbling to make you stand in

446
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:55,880
his presence, stand blameless
with great joy.

447
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,600
And then this huge focus on the
eternal reign of Christ, like

448
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,520
the the words around it, glory,
majesty, dominion, authority

449
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,160
before time and now and forever.
It's kind of you're covering all

450
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,600
your.
Bases it's like it's it's all

451
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,160
there.
Yeah.

452
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,040
So it's great.
So I think that would preach.

453
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,640
That that would preach maybe on
4/19, maybe not, I don't know.

454
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Michael is preaching.
Maybe when this comes out he's

455
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,840
about he just finished preaching
or about to preach or.

456
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,240
Whatever you know.
So that, that's good.

457
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,960
I like that.
Good way to just exclamation

458
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,840
point the cool series that
started out as like a few

459
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,520
episodes and grew.
But that's good.

460
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,000
That's what that's what we we
take feedback and adjust, you

461
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,240
know?
Yeah.

462
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040
Yeah, Yeah, that's good.
Last take.

463
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,840
Last take, I wonder how how are
your girls?

464
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,040
How are your older 2 girls
enjoying spring break?

465
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Well, this one's not my oldest.
Oh Dang, gotcha.

466
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Lydia's not here.
How you get mixed up.

467
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,760
There's too many.
Too many.

468
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600
You got too many kids.
How's soccer?

469
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,400
Is this your soccer attire that
you got?

470
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,560
It's not I I ended up I bought
some other soccer attire because

471
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,200
I ordered the wrong size
apparently because the I don't

472
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,640
understand the sizing makes no
sense because this fits me like

473
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,040
pretty.
Well, and is that a small?

474
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,000
This is a medium.
Yeah.

475
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240
That's just medium, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

476
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,600
Which is.
So I initially got a small and

477
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,040
it's like so small, like it's
very very uncomfortably.

478
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Tight, Jayden.
Probably could wear I'm like

479
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,440
this is not like these things
are I like them, but they do fit

480
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,440
snug.
You know, I just, I just need

481
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,920
someone to tell me like this
like I need like a sizing chart

482
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,360
or something.
I guess so.

483
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,200
So last time we recorded, you'd
got a new watch I think.

484
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,360
I did got the old.
Have you had to?

485
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,280
Have you had to charge it since
we were recorded?

486
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,880
I've I did charge it one time I
charged it today, I think for a

487
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,120
little bit, but I love it.
You know, keep the battery going

488
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,040
now I I I didn't know clay had
one.

489
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
So now we can, you know, have
Garmin talk.

490
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,880
He's he was like totally
derailing our chat man and

491
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,320
changing it to Garmin.
I was kidding.

492
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,320
It's good.
I didn't I don't know half the

493
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,600
things it can do.
So let's go.

494
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,800
I mainly just got it for the
battery.

495
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,760
So this will be fun.
Be fun to investigate it more.

496
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960
It's crazy, like you, if you
mainly got it for the battery,

497
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,760
you, you could get a watch that
you just like twist or, or that

498
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,240
has a battery that lasts like
three years or something in it.

499
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,840
You know one of those.
That's true, it wasn't just for

500
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,080
the battery.
That was very true.

501
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,200
I like I priced it as last time
Garmin.

502
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520
It tracks your body battery.
Yeah.

503
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,880
You said you were wanting to see
if it was just like, Yeah, yeah.

504
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,120
So I still can't tell.
I'll I'll tell you what my if

505
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,280
you should guess what my body
battery is right now.

506
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,360
Out of the scale of what?
100% it's like a, it's like a,

507
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,840
it's like your phone battery
kind of.

508
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,240
I would say it's probably
telling you 42%.

509
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Wow, man, I must be glowing.
Garmin's saying 28%.

510
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,240
I need AI, need a charge and
it'll tell me like my sleep was

511
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,760
pretty good.
I got like a 70% recharge or

512
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,520
like terrible sleep, 40%
recharge, not a good sleep.

513
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,880
So we'll see how accurate it is.
You know, compared to Apple

514
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,120
stuff, I like the body battery.
I don't really run so I don't

515
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,480
use it for a lot of running
stuff.

516
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,360
Don't really lift.
Don't I?

517
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,480
I don't I I do lift but not
crazy.

518
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,120
Thing I said in our chat, I
don't think I've, you know, we

519
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,440
talked about it, you know, all
those stuff and I've been

520
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,640
working out and then I don't
know what happened.

521
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,240
I couldn't get any of my
daughter to go with me to work

522
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,000
out.
What the heck?

523
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,280
I don't like working out by
myself, but I think we are going

524
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,160
to work out right after this.
Oh, are you now?

525
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,520
That was one of the reasons that
she came out.

526
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,760
So Charis is working to get her
license.

527
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,440
So she drove over here.
And you were saying like, she

528
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,120
like, hit like one person on the
way.

529
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,640
It was pretty nice.
Yeah, yeah.

530
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,800
So one is not that bad.
So you.

531
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840
Know It was dark at night.
It was in the alleyway.

532
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,640
No one's gonna know.
I won't say anything.

533
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,760
Don't.
Don't worry.

534
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Well, that's exciting.
Chloe's gonna work out, too.

535
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,160
I don't think so.
Chloe's.

536
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,120
Chloe's trying to wrap up her
senior portfolio, so that's what

537
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,200
she's been focused on.
That's so crazy.

538
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,160
She graduate to May.
Yes, God willing, Yeah.

539
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Wow.
Chloe, I remember when she was

540
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,400
knee high, you know, just a just
a little.

541
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.

542
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,160
Oh man.
Well, that is exciting.

543
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,680
That's probably a really busy
time if it's trying to wrap up

544
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,720
portfolio stuff.
It's been very busy.

545
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,960
Not stressful at all.
Well, great, good.

546
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,040
Anything else you got?
That's all I got.

547
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,600
All right, that's our take.
