0:00 / 1h 3m
In this episode of The Forging Table, we dive deep into Romans 1:7, exploring what it means to be called saints and the implications of God's love for us. We tackle the misconceptions around sainthood, particularly in the Catholic tradition, and emphasize that all believers are called to spiritual resilience through obedience to Christ.

1:00 This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
1:24 I'm your host Kyle Thompson, let's get into it.
1:27 Welcome back to The Forging Table, the mission of Undaunted Life is equipping men to push
1:30 back darkness with content that forges spiritual, mental, and physical resilience.
1:33 At The Forging Table, you'll see a group of regular guys forging spiritual resilience
1:36 by digging into God's Word, and we're welcoming all of you to come along with that journey
1:38 with us.
1:39 A bunch of familiar faces today.
1:40 We got Winkler, we got Eustace, and we got Adam Smith here, but before we get into our
1:45 slow crawl through the world of Romans, which, guys, if you've watched the first four episodes,
1:49 if you've missed the first four episodes that we did on Romans with Matt Chandler, not only
1:54 do we have a lot of fun, but in four hours, we got through about six and a half verses,
1:59 so at this rate, we will be finishing Romans by 2037, so we just were so glad that you
2:04 guys have dedicated yourselves to staying on pace with us.
2:08 But there's something that needs to be addressed here, because whenever I set up one of these
2:13 Forging Tables, we figure out who the group is, and then I send out a text saying, "Hey,
2:17 we're meeting on this day," and then I send out the lunch order and stuff like that and
2:21 all that, but out of nowhere, right, because nobody was asking questions, nobody was really
2:25 talking in this group text, and the day before my birthday of all days, there's a message
2:30 from Russell Eustace, and it says, "Harrassy on the Forging Table," and so I'm sensitive
2:39 to heresy, right?
2:41 I've gone on record saying Andy Stanley is a hair tick, and then you know what I did
2:45 a few months later, doubled down, did an entire episode on it, very sensitive to heresy and
2:49 claims of heresy in and around me, gosh, got to take those seriously, especially as it
2:54 pertains to this table, this brand new table, this sore next table, that there was heresy
2:59 performed at this table, actually, it was the last table.
3:02 But let me read the rest of this message.
3:05 Karate Kid is no way to know how an action movie.
3:11 The fact that two other guys voted for that to be an action movie is just sad.
3:16 By the way, 1990 total recall would dominate all of those if it was your year earlier.
3:24 Which I thought about.
3:25 Wait a minute.
3:26 All right.
3:27 All right.
3:28 Wait a minute.
3:29 Feed me.
3:30 I want us to have a debate, but I'm just not quite ready.
3:31 Just hang on.
3:32 You're going to band up.
3:33 Oh, my lord.
3:34 Oh, this is not good.
3:35 Oh, boy.
3:36 Wow.
3:37 Holy mister Miyagi, we're here.
3:38 Yeah, awesome.
3:39 You have to do the official.
3:40 Yeah.
3:41 Yeah.
3:42 Now.
3:43 Oh, yeah.
3:44 Now. Oh, yeah.
3:47 Now I feel ready.
3:48 Should there be like a rising sun on that?
3:49 This is setting sun?
3:50 No, this is the official Daniel son headband from Karate Kid.
3:55 Okay.
3:56 As purchased on Amazon.
3:57 Can I go ahead and claim as we're doing this?
4:00 I have never seen the full movie from beginning to end when you've seen it.
4:04 I'm not sure what's more egregious.
4:05 The fact that he considers it not to be an action movie or the fact that you have not
4:09 you've not watched it.
4:10 I've seen bits and pieces.
4:11 I know the wax on wax off, but that's about it.
4:13 The answer is no to my question.
4:16 You've not watched.
4:17 No.
4:18 You made me watch open range, maybe the worst western of all time.
4:20 I'm going to make you watch Karate Kid.
4:23 Can we just.
4:24 I'll watch it.
4:25 Let's talk about open range.
4:26 How could you say it's the worst western of all before that?
4:28 Let's talk about Laura the rings.
4:29 Can we just talk about.
4:30 Okay.
4:31 Now let's talk.
4:32 Let me say my marriage real quick on this.
4:33 I do like Karate Kid.
4:35 My wife loves Karate Kid.
4:36 I hope she's listening.
4:37 She's furious.
4:38 She loves.
4:39 I would not tell her this, but I don't think she would call it an action.
4:43 One of my basis of that argument is that it is my wife's, one of her favorite movies.
4:50 List the amount of movies that are action movies that she even knows.
4:54 It's one by.
4:55 That's a super.
4:56 I would argue.
4:57 One by that.
4:58 To your house.
4:59 One by that standard.
5:00 I would really.
5:01 I would like to hear the argument.
5:02 No explosion.
5:03 For it being an action movie.
5:04 Where's the action?
5:05 No explosion.
5:06 What do you mean?
5:07 Where?
5:08 It's not an explosion movie.
5:09 Well, here's one internet movie database, which is the repository of all things cinematic
5:13 right?
5:14 You go there to see who was in there, who directed it.
5:16 How long the runtime is and whether or not there's boobies.
5:19 You go there, you find all that information, you know, parents, I'm not and it's right
5:23 there.
5:24 Exactly.
5:25 The very first word.
5:26 You're going by somebody else's standard.
5:27 No, it's not coming of age story.
5:28 It's not dramatic 80s.
5:30 It's action.
5:31 That's what it says.
5:32 But look, so we're saying that IMDB is the authority on cinema in this, in this.
5:37 When it comes to categorization.
5:39 Yeah.
5:40 What was it?
5:41 I did categorize, I believe, the ranking of trilogies and which one did they have never
5:46 won?
5:47 They didn't do it.
5:48 Oh, so now.
5:49 That was Chad GBT.
5:50 Now you're listening to him.
5:51 Now you're listening to him.
5:52 Now you're listening.
5:53 Not the internet movie database.
5:54 What I'm going to do.
5:55 Boom roasted.
5:56 No, I don't think so.
5:57 No, it was Chad GBT because we Chad GBT it right here in front of everybody.
6:00 Let me go look at the movie.
6:01 Oh, this is, this was my point.
6:02 You also want to look up what it calls action movies from the same era.
6:07 Three ninjas.
6:08 Right.
6:09 Oh, that was terrible.
6:10 Are we really saying?
6:11 Three ninjas.
6:12 Three ninjas.
6:13 Dude, action movie.
6:14 Tom Tom would smoke you with that action.
6:15 That's right.
6:16 We know what it's right.
6:17 Everybody knows what I'm talking about.
6:18 Y'all know what I'm talking about.
6:19 It's not an action movie.
6:20 Weird.
6:21 Because it says it's an action movie.
6:22 Yeah.
6:23 You're right.
6:24 So that to me really says that we need to stop looking at that for our basis of what
6:27 we're generating with the movies.
6:28 So I guess when you say action movie, you're like, you need some guy that can barely speak
6:32 English.
6:33 That's just like making grenades go off.
6:34 I mean, here's what I need.
6:35 Here's what I need.
6:36 Here's what I need.
6:37 If I say, hey, I want to go watch this movie.
6:39 My wife should go, if she doesn't, it's probably not an action movie.
6:44 So is Laura the Ring's an action movie then?
6:46 Because that should be everyone's response to, I'm going to go watch Laura the Ring's
6:49 just epic levels of disappointment.
6:51 I think it was an action movie that everybody would have a general consensus that it's
6:54 clearly an action movie.
6:56 We're about 50-50 here.
6:58 So it's obviously not.
6:59 We were 75% on the last table.
7:00 This is just a worst table.
7:01 Which I suggested that you should probably never get that group back together again in
7:05 the uniform.
7:06 Which was the group.
7:07 So it was Winkler?
7:08 Which he held strong.
7:10 Yeah, he was the only one that gave a Caesar's thumb down.
7:13 Thumbs down.
7:14 Yeah.
7:15 You need to mix that group up.
7:16 We have to remember what kind of taste we're dealing with here, right?
7:21 Lord of the Rings, greatest trilogy of all time.
7:23 I'm not against him on this.
7:24 Hold on.
7:25 And he just kind of silently not pretend like he didn't let me figure out that it wasn't
7:28 considered.
7:29 Verify.
7:30 This is IMDB, correct?
7:31 Yes.
7:32 What's number one here?
7:33 Lord of the Ring.
7:34 The one was.
7:35 His logic is based off of taking what they say.
7:38 That's for trilogy.
7:39 No, it's not saying the trilogy's number one is saying those three movies are in the
7:43 top spot, not as a group, because then it gets into the Godfathers after that.
7:47 Yeah.
7:48 Just grouping them.
7:49 So the three Lord of the Rings movies were better than any other trilogy movies of all
7:53 time.
7:54 No one listens to IMDB anyway.
7:55 That's not fair.
7:56 My bad.
7:57 Okay.
7:58 I really think an impartial voice here is needed.
7:59 And because I haven't even seen the movie, that's actually a great point.
8:02 My point is that it's clearly not an action movie and nobody cares.
8:06 So I care, not an action movie, this is the group.
8:12 This is a good group.
8:13 I feel like I've lost control already.
8:15 I've got the headband on like this is the headband of trust and power again.
8:19 No one's saying we don't like the movie.
8:21 Yes.
8:22 It's just not an action movie.
8:23 Wait, so we do like the movie?
8:24 We do like the movie.
8:25 We do like the movie.
8:26 We love the movie.
8:27 Thank you, Tiff.
8:28 It's great.
8:29 It's my favorite movie.
8:30 It's my favorite movie.
8:31 I'm going to make you watch it twice.
8:32 It's literally my favorite movie.
8:33 We need to go back to my open range.
8:34 We should go back to open range.
8:35 All right.
8:36 What did you watch open range for the first time?
8:38 When did it come?
8:39 I'm going to guess maybe late high school.
8:40 I would have guessed maybe '02, '03.
8:43 Is it that old?
8:44 20 years old.
8:45 Open range was 2003.
8:47 Oh, man.
8:48 Kevin Costland, Robert Duvall.
8:50 And I was pumped because we had a chat about Westerns and we agreed about basically every
8:54 Western.
8:55 Yeah, this one's not so good.
8:56 This one's great.
8:57 And I had never seen this one.
8:58 And so I go back and watch it, you know, you know, a few years ago, some in my mid 30s,
9:03 I could not believe how bored I was.
9:05 Did you make it at least to the end?
9:06 I watched the whole thing.
9:07 I watched the whole thing.
9:08 Was it an action scene or do we need to like have a debate about whether or not there was
9:11 an action scene at the end?
9:12 Kevin Costland walks up and blows the guy's head off at the point when you were involved.
9:16 Was there gunpowder involved?
9:17 Yeah.
9:18 Old school six shooters.
9:19 That's an easy like, yeah, action movie.
9:21 I'm not saying it has to have that, but that is an easy check mark.
9:24 Okay.
9:25 All right.
9:26 Do you remember what I said was going to be my answer before I switched it to karate
9:30 kit?
9:31 No.
9:32 Because let me just say, okay.
9:34 I have been swayed, but I'm not taking the headband off, but I haven't swayed at least
9:38 for this hour.
9:40 Okay.
9:41 I will admit it's probably not your quintessential 1980s action movie when you think about the
9:46 genre as a whole.
9:47 I do remember what you said.
9:48 Okay.
9:49 So I've I've been swayed by the non neutral observers and the neutral observers.
9:52 So there you go.
9:53 I've shown humility to the audience.
9:54 But what did I say was going to be?
9:55 Top gun, right?
9:56 No.
9:57 That was Eric's.
9:58 Okay.
9:59 You're my new blood sport.
10:00 Yeah.
10:01 Yeah.
10:02 Okay.
10:03 What?
10:04 What was you said?
10:05 What I said was is I like that was my pick for the best 80s action movie.
10:10 Oh, it's great.
10:11 And then I switched it at the last minute to be karate kid because I thought it was an
10:14 awesome point.
10:15 And apparently I'm a, you know, on an island by myself.
10:17 I think I've all agreed to our bill lethal weapon.
10:20 I don't know that I ever saw it.
10:22 Oh, dear.
10:23 Sorry.
10:24 There were those and I'm counting total recall because I thought about this later.
10:27 It was filmed in 89, which was released in 90 film.
10:31 Got to go by release date.
10:33 Blood sport.
10:34 No, total recall.
10:35 Total recall was the action movie of I'm actually, I mean, I'm genuine.
10:40 I'm genuinely shocked you have not seen the karate kid.
10:43 No, I just never had.
10:44 So when somebody says that they're the best around, you don't immediately just go into
10:47 the song.
10:48 Put him in a body bath.
10:49 You don't even react.
10:50 I could, I could be wrong, but I was, I was born in 84 and most of the people that really
10:54 liked the karate kid, I feel like we're born three to five years before me.
10:59 Well, I mean, 81.
11:00 That was the year it came out the year you were born.
11:03 I mean, I get, I mean, for, but I had an older brother that always, I've always shifted a
11:07 little bit.
11:08 See, I didn't, I didn't have, I had an older sister and she clearly wasn't, didn't care
11:11 about karate.
11:12 I mean, she might have, that's, that was my point.
11:15 She actually might have.
11:16 I own two bandanas in the 1980s.
11:19 That was one of them.
11:20 And the other one said, hulka mani on it.
11:22 Oh, man.
11:23 That was a big holster for sure.
11:24 Did you have wrestling buddies?
11:25 Oh, absolutely.
11:26 Okay.
11:27 There are pillows, but I had a whole kogan and I had a matcha man.
11:30 Randy Savage.
11:31 Okay.
11:32 I had a whole kogan.
11:33 I had Jake Snig Roberts and I had big boss man.
11:35 Nice.
11:36 Who's big boss?
11:37 I don't know who that is.
11:38 Yeah.
11:39 If I showed you a picture, you 100% know about you.
11:40 From Cobb County, Georgia.
11:41 My dad's favorite was Jim Hacksaw Duggan with the Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
11:45 I got a signed picture of him like in the attic somewhere.
11:47 Big boss man.
11:48 Hey, you know what's funny about that?
11:49 I actually didn't intend for us to go there, but I learned something here recently in Sunday
11:54 school.
11:55 So that's big boss man.
11:56 Oh, I do.
11:57 Absolutely.
11:58 He, but he was like an actual sheriff somewhere like before he got this.
12:00 I would know he was like a warden or something like that.
12:03 Anyway.
12:04 Yeah.
12:05 So there I am sitting in Sunday school.
12:06 This was two weeks ago and Jake, you weren't there and I don't know where you were doing
12:10 something important.
12:11 This is in Boston.
12:12 Yeah.
12:13 Whatever.
12:14 Yeah.
12:15 Whatever that's called.
12:16 And your wife completely like, you know, nobody teed her up like she nobody was asking
12:21 her any questions.
12:22 She just goes, yeah, Jake's really struggling with the death of Hulk Hogan.
12:26 I don't like it.
12:27 And I thought she was kidding.
12:28 I was like, I'm not happy about it.
12:29 And then we're like, Oh, really?
12:30 And so we went from like, that's funny to, Oh, religion, my concern is Jake.
12:34 Okay.
12:35 Because Terry Balleta died and then she's like, Oh yeah, Jake still watches wrestling all
12:40 the time.
12:41 I do.
12:42 Oh, really?
12:43 I do.
12:44 I can't.
12:45 I don't know why.
12:46 How many years old?
12:47 I don't care.
12:48 Can you show me how many you are on your hands?
12:49 I'm 44.
12:50 44.
12:51 Did you ever go to WrestleMania?
12:52 I wish I could.
12:53 You definitely have kept the secret.
12:54 I know.
12:55 I mean, it's, it's my guilty play.
12:56 And the cologne thing is just in the past now, we got shift focus to the wrestling thing.
13:01 So we're still in and you still this entertaining.
13:04 I'm sorry.
13:05 I don't know what to tell you.
13:06 I mean, that's in the name.
13:07 World wrestling entertainment.
13:08 Yeah.
13:09 Like you just, you never like, I guess grew up.
13:11 Oh, I mean, entertainment changed.
13:13 I was in the 80s.
13:14 I loved it.
13:15 I stopped loving it in the 90s and then I came back to it in the 90s.
13:19 And then I've just kind of circled back in and out of it.
13:21 Like whenever the NWO and the stone cold and everybody was, I mean, I got really into it.
13:26 Yeah.
13:27 I got really into it then.
13:28 And then who, who's your favorite now?
13:29 Like who is around?
13:30 Is it like days of our lives?
13:32 They just keep bringing them back.
13:33 Yeah.
13:34 Both.
13:35 Honestly, that's probably why I watch it more than anything else is they just keep bringing
13:38 the old guys back and, you know, then nostalgia.
13:41 Yeah.
13:42 It's under taker.
13:43 Summer slam 2026.
13:44 There's a 20% chance that they're probably dead from a heart attack at this point.
13:48 Yeah, maybe.
13:49 Yeah.
13:50 Most of those guys, yeah.
13:51 The Royds kind of effects out, but you just, I don't know what I've heard.
13:54 But I've heard is just that cause, you know, Vince is out now and like triple H is now being
13:58 the shot collar and whatever, but like it's just not as, I would like people, they tried
14:02 to push Roman Reigns for a while, but the fans were like, yeah, he's not really a thing.
14:05 No, no, it's good.
14:07 But he's the thing.
14:08 He's entertaining.
14:09 I'm flummoxed.
14:10 I got tired of like seeing the women get out there and like, you know, pulling their
14:15 clothes off.
14:16 I literally told Kelsey that.
14:17 So they don't do that anymore.
14:18 Well, they stopped it because it happened in one of like the pay per view ones were like
14:22 they did.
14:23 What's going on?
14:24 I watch frickin top cable.
14:25 Emily actually likes it too.
14:28 My youngest daughter.
14:29 Okay.
14:30 So we were watching Summerslam the other night.
14:31 There was somebody that literally did a back flip off of a ladder onto a table on the outside
14:36 of the ring.
14:37 I mean, it's just crazy frickin's like stunt man kind of stuff.
14:41 I mean, it's like I said, I find it entertaining.
14:44 I will say the Rey Mysterio stuff.
14:46 That's kind of like that.
14:47 That stuff is cool.
14:48 Yeah.
14:49 619, right?
14:50 Well, but yeah, now they have the guy.
14:51 I'm so lost.
14:52 Adam, now they have like guys, my size doing that kind of stuff.
14:54 I mean, it's just nuts.
14:55 But to your point, I was just talking about how James, he's five and like, I would like
14:59 to get him into wrestling.
15:00 But you know, when you're just flipping channels or just trying to see what's on and then if
15:04 there is a women's match on, they're essentially not wearing anything, right?
15:08 So they're dressed like strippers and then they're going out there doing all these athletic
15:11 things and end up in these very awkward positions and it's just like, I can't take James as
15:15 something like that.
15:16 No.
15:17 And then you'll hear, you know, the guys are cussing during their promos and things like
15:20 that.
15:21 You're bringing that back a little bit.
15:22 Because when we were kids, you know, 80s, early 90s, like, whole, whole commande was
15:26 like, read your Bible, eat your Bible and say your prayer.
15:29 Yeah.
15:30 And like that.
15:31 It's just way different now.
15:32 Cause then when you got into the attitude era, you had seventh graders going around telling
15:34 each other to suck at the entire time, right?
15:36 Cause a degeneration next and then like, that's when it changed.
15:39 That's whenever some of the gals started coming in that were, you know, dancing provostively
15:43 and that would be featured in gentlemen's magazines and, you know, it was just, it was
15:47 an entire era where it was like, why did my parents allow me to watch it?
15:51 We might need to explore this a little bit more cause this, the Bible's right in front
15:54 of me.
15:55 And what it actually said, this is amazing right here.
15:57 When, when, when this happens, it says, for this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable
16:01 passions for the women exchange natural relations for those that are contrary to nature.
16:05 And the men like ways gave up natural relations with women and we're consumed with passion
16:09 for one another.
16:10 So you're saying, Jake, I'm just wondering, I'm trying to make the connections here is
16:16 what the Bible said.
16:17 I didn't say it.
16:18 It's Jake, do you have anything to say for yourself?
16:21 Definitely not because it does sound like, does sound like you've been given up to dishonorable
16:25 passion for pro wrestling.
16:27 Yeah.
16:28 I don't, you know what?
16:29 You can mock me all you want.
16:30 I don't care.
16:31 But you've never been to WrestleMania.
16:32 No tickets are expensive.
16:33 Dude, I, I've heard that you make literally thousands of dollars every year.
16:36 Yeah.
16:37 That's, that's an expense.
16:38 I don't think I could justify though.
16:39 To be honest with you, my dad took me in like 1991 or 1990.
16:44 It was at the Civic Center.
16:46 Is that what it was called back then?
16:47 Do you think it was 1991 WrestleMania?
16:49 If I said, it wasn't.
16:50 WrestleMania.
16:51 It wasn't actually.
16:52 It was in Oklahoma City.
16:53 It wasn't WrestleMania.
16:54 It was just a normal show.
16:55 I've been like raw or something.
16:56 And they were here and Hulk Hogan was there.
16:58 Hacksaw Jim Duggan was there and I remember seeing Jake Snake and we were there for like
17:03 I don't know, two hours.
17:04 And I remember I had my little pillow for Hulk Hogan and I wanted him to sign it and I never
17:07 got him to come sign it.
17:08 But anyway.
17:09 Yeah.
17:10 So I was, I mean, I, I was a little shook up about Hulk dying.
17:14 I mean, I was a big Hulk and maniac guy.
17:16 He got saved.
17:17 How?
17:18 Literally about a month and a half ago.
17:19 How cool was that?
17:20 He got baptized.
17:21 You're half ago.
17:22 Yeah.
17:23 It was pretty recent.
17:24 Him and his wife both, right?
17:25 Yeah.
17:26 Yeah.
17:27 He got baptized and then he baptized her.
17:28 Yeah.
17:29 Pretty sweet.
17:30 Yeah.
17:31 No.
17:32 I mean, like I said, I mean, the guy, the guy was literally my childhood.
17:33 So I'm shook.
17:34 Why?
17:35 Because you just didn't know this about you.
17:36 I don't know if I know the person I'm sitting next to.
17:38 That's a lot of respect for me and all of this.
17:40 No.
17:41 That's why I tell Stacy.
17:42 I was like, I really wish you would not talk about it.
17:44 I have not lost respect for you, but we are in a Bible study together.
17:49 Yeah.
17:50 Besides this.
17:51 Y'all gone fishing together and never came up.
17:53 Every week, 6.30 in the morning for, I mean, I've been in that Bible study for like 12
17:58 or 13 years.
17:59 You've been in it for how many, three years now, we've talked about anything and everything
18:06 that you could possibly talk about and the fact that you have withheld this.
18:11 I don't know if I know who you are.
18:15 I don't really know.
18:16 I won't even say anything.
18:17 I won't say like, I won't bring it up.
18:19 I'm not going to throw you.
18:20 Yeah.
18:21 Other than all this.
18:22 Other than all this podcasting.
18:23 Nobody else.
18:24 Nobody else.
18:25 Well, since we have a bonafide wrestling expert here, I mean, I love making people choose
18:31 their favorites and choose their whatever.
18:32 And so Russell, you may not be able to participate in this because I don't know that you can
18:35 name four wrestlers.
18:37 If you, actually, we'll make you last, Adam, you go, I'll go and then you, you will actually
18:41 actually go first.
18:43 Okay.
18:44 All right.
18:45 Let's do it.
18:46 Let's do it.
18:47 And then we'll get down to the Bible.
18:48 Just in case we've lost half of our audience.
18:49 I don't know.
18:50 Maybe we got a whole new audience of nerds because they like to order the innings in
18:51 WWE.
18:52 I mean, I'm getting dived out.
18:54 WWE.
18:55 We nerd them right now.
18:56 Budget nine year olds.
18:57 Case correction.
18:58 It was it was WWF.
18:59 We were rolling that.
19:00 Okay.
19:01 We're with that.
19:02 It can't be any worse than a bunch of guys that think crowdy kid is an action movie.
19:06 We've already moved past that.
19:07 Okay.
19:08 I mean, I like, I'm just surprised.
19:09 Jake has a ripped his shirt off.
19:10 Yeah.
19:11 At this point.
19:12 Okay.
19:13 All right.
19:14 All right.
19:15 This is our Mount Rushmore professional.
19:16 Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, John Cena, Andre the Giant that okay.
19:23 Mount Rushmore has four people on it.
19:24 All right.
19:25 So there you go.
19:26 That's your list.
19:27 All right.
19:28 Solid list.
19:29 All right.
19:30 So you got some some from every era.
19:31 I think you move from there.
19:32 So I mean, I'll have to go with just different.
19:33 I agree with a lot of those.
19:34 Let's go with different guys.
19:35 There's a rock on there.
19:36 You didn't put the rock on there.
19:37 That's incredible.
19:39 I think you've got to throw the undertaker on there because the undertaker lasted for
19:42 so long.
19:43 He was there.
19:44 Yeah.
19:45 I'm just going to throw my favorite Jake Snake.
19:48 He was number one in my mind.
19:49 And then macho man Randy's have Oh, no, we got to get him and Ric Flair.
19:54 Ric Flair.
19:55 We got to go.
19:56 That wasn't quite what he does.
19:58 Whoa, whoa.
19:59 That's way more.
20:01 Whatever it was.
20:02 A little bit.
20:03 Okay.
20:04 Yeah, so I think Ric Flair's got to be on there.
20:05 Ric Flair.
20:06 Jake the Snake.
20:07 Undertaker.
20:08 Undertaker and the rock.
20:09 Hi.
20:10 So got to go Hulk Hogan.
20:12 He's the biggest wrestling star of all time.
20:14 That's why he's on there.
20:15 I'll be good.
20:16 Got it.
20:17 Shut your mouth.
20:18 We got to go stone cold because he was probably he carried an entire era of wrestling, right?
20:21 So you got to go him.
20:22 I'm taking probably the best character of all time, which is undertaker because I think
20:26 like in ring stuff, but and then you got the iconic moments.
20:29 You got his hell in the cell with mankind, you got, you know, the cane, you know, his brother
20:33 come back and all that stuff, just the character and all that.
20:36 And then one that is not on a lot of people's list because yeah, I hear you a lot of people
20:40 put Ric Flair on theirs.
20:41 A lot of people put under Andrea the Giant.
20:43 You'll see Sean Michaels, who a lot of people think is the best in ring practitioner of all
20:46 time.
20:47 Give me Brett Hartman because it goes all the way back to my story, which I've told on.
20:51 I don't know if I told you guys, but right after college, there was no options for me
20:55 of like going home and like getting bailed out by my parents to do anything.
20:58 It was, it was me and I go right into 100% commission job right out of college.
21:02 And it, it, things are not going well.
21:04 I'm 22 years old, economies in the toilet.
21:06 This is 2008, 2009, right?
21:08 And I am down to my last 75 bucks as a human, right?
21:12 My roommate goes back home for, for Christmas or whatever.
21:16 It's freezing cold outside in Edmond, Oklahoma.
21:18 And I've got a, I'm sitting on the couch.
21:20 I've got a, like a, like a, like a space heater and I've got a blanket over the space heater
21:26 and me because I couldn't afford to keep the gas running to keep the heat going.
21:29 And so there I am and I'm just like, how did I let myself get here?
21:33 Like how did this happen?
21:34 And out of nowhere, I just go, I'm driving to Barnes and Noble and I'm buying the new
21:38 Bret Hart autobiography that it just came out.
21:40 So I go and spend a third of my net worth at Barnes and Noble to buy the Bret Hart autobiography
21:47 and I bring it back to my house and I throw that blanket over me in the space heater and
21:51 I'm sitting there reading and I was so engaged in the content.
21:53 I, I like melted the bottom of my, my house shoes and all that.
21:56 So things started looking up right after that.
21:58 So I'm, I'm happy to report, but yeah, he just always kind of had a special place.
22:01 Like the first guy that I dressed up as like as a kid for Halloween that I remember was
22:05 Bret Hart.
22:06 My, my family got me a Bret Hart dress up thing and like, you know, I always wish I
22:09 could have been one of the kids that got the glasses right whenever he gave his glasses
22:12 to a kid in the front row.
22:13 So Besser is, Besser was, Besser ever will be, but these are three novice opinions, right?
22:18 We don't have decades of fandom under our spell and so we don't care the way, no pun intended
22:26 that you carry.
22:27 So I definitely had a set of Hoquimania weights.
22:29 They were blue.
22:30 They were awesome.
22:31 Oh my God.
22:32 Can you imagine how those in your home gym right now?
22:33 They were awesome.
22:34 Dude.
22:35 Okay.
22:36 Give it to us, man.
22:37 So I'm going to just focus on bad guys, because I think they make wrestling more entertaining.
22:41 So Andre, the giant, back in the eighties, you know, when he ripped the chain off of
22:47 Hulk Hogan, broke up the friend who both Bobby, the brain he did.
22:51 Roddy Piper.
22:52 Oh, Roddy.
22:53 Roddy.
22:54 Roddy Piper.
22:55 Okay.
22:56 And then I'm actually going to put Triple H in there because the guy was just a quintessential
23:03 bad guy the entire time.
23:04 Oh, yeah.
23:05 Hulk Hogan's not on your Mount Rushmore.
23:07 Well, if I was doing a good guy Mount Rushmore, yeah, you would actually.
23:10 Okay.
23:11 I guess let's do it.
23:12 It's called a heel, by the way, for all of you, no officers, so that's your heel Mount
23:16 Rushmore.
23:17 Now let's go your baby face.
23:19 Hulk.
23:20 Hulk.
23:21 Stone cold.
23:22 You need to call anti-hero.
23:23 Yeah, he's kind of anti-hero, okay, I'll take it.
23:27 Stone cold.
23:28 Cena would have to be on there.
23:30 I never liked him, but he's, yeah, he's the ultimate good guy.
23:33 Who was the other guy?
23:34 You said bad guys.
23:35 And I just remembered somebody else.
23:36 I can't think of his name, but he was anti-Hulk Hogan.
23:38 It was him and Hulk Hogan for two years.
23:40 Ultimate Warrior.
23:41 That's what I told you.
23:42 Ultimate Warrior was a good guy.
23:43 What?
23:44 Yeah.
23:45 Yeah, but he was just insane.
23:46 He was just insane.
23:47 Technically.
23:48 Oh, I hated it.
23:49 He was also a space cadet.
23:50 Yeah, the other heel was Ted Tibiasi, which was hilarious.
23:54 The million dollar.
23:55 I saw a clip the other day.
23:56 That belt, dude.
23:57 Yeah.
23:58 I saw a clip the other day.
23:59 He's Christian now, by the way.
24:00 Yeah.
24:01 Pastor.
24:02 He said, I saw a clip the other day.
24:03 He told this kid if he could dribble a basketball 15 times, he would give him $1,000.
24:06 And the kid's dribbling and he's counted off.
24:09 And then at 14, Tibiasi just kicks the ball away from the spot.
24:13 So good.
24:14 That's good.
24:15 That's the best bad guy thing.
24:17 Good.
24:18 Oh, my God, you got so close, kid, but anyways, yeah, so, yeah, that would be, I guess I haven't
24:24 given a fourth or baby face for the probably sting.
24:29 Oh, okay.
24:30 Going with the only W mainly WCW guy that yeah, he was he was the only one.
24:35 Well, I guess he's done some he came over to WWE at some point, right?
24:38 Forest forest tent.
24:39 Forest tent.
24:40 All right.
24:41 Because I remember him doing something outside.
24:42 Was it?
24:43 Did he do a run with Randy Orton?
24:46 No.
24:47 He fought triple H. Okay, well, see, you're in a psychopedia, brother, and they brought
24:53 out.
24:54 They brought out like the India, NWO came out to fight with sting and then DX came out
24:59 with fight with triple H. It was like, Oh, man, as you saying, it's all remember, I'm
25:03 remember.
25:04 Yeah.
25:05 A lot of fun.
25:06 As you say it.
25:07 Dude, did you have the video games on N64 to heck?
25:08 Yeah.
25:09 Yeah.
25:10 Yeah.
25:11 I had the WCW revenge game.
25:12 Yes.
25:13 And well, what was the cover?
25:14 And then it was like Raven, and it's like how did he make it all in here?
25:19 Like, what is Raven?
25:20 Nobody wants to play with Raven on this game.
25:23 Yeah.
25:24 Right, Russ?
25:25 You know what you're talking about?
25:26 No.
25:27 Yeah.
25:28 Russ, for your sake, we're going to kind of bring this all the way back around.
25:30 I had no intentions.
25:31 I have one more question.
25:32 Okay.
25:33 I'm so sorry.
25:34 Man, do you do a mock draft with anybody?
25:38 Do you have a whole other group of friends that know wrestling?
25:43 No.
25:43 Don't get scared.
25:44 I'm going to watch Royal Rumble.
25:45 No.
25:46 I'm just feeling a little betrayed.
25:47 But as long as you don't have a whole other group.
25:49 I see that.
25:50 I see that.
25:51 Yeah.
25:52 This is, and I've told my wife this, and she thinks it's adorable, but it is my single
25:56 greatest shame that I still find this entertaining.
25:59 I just am like, man, I still like it.
26:00 I don't know what to tell you.
26:01 Okay.
26:02 Just embrace it.
26:03 It's all good.
26:04 Yeah.
26:05 Dude, at this point, lean into it.
26:06 But I'm going to make it, because look at Horn in the cologne thing.
26:08 He's not leaned away from that even a little bit.
26:10 And now he is buying like holy intact socks, so we have expanded his, his repertoire on
26:15 the wardrobe department.
26:16 You know, that's where you're right.
26:17 Yep.
26:18 Okay.
26:19 So, but this I will dedicate and we'll go hands in on this, Adam and Russ.
26:23 The next time at WWE event comes to Oklahoma State, whether it's a RAW or a SmackDown or
26:29 a pay-per-view, we are there.
26:31 We're there.
26:32 All of us together.
26:33 Four Musketeers.
26:34 Hands in.
26:35 Hands in.
26:36 Get out of here, Jake.
26:37 Let's go.
26:38 All right, here we go.
26:39 And we're going.
26:40 And we're wooing.
26:41 We're taking signs.
26:42 But the thing is, is we're going to take signs from our air.
26:44 You're not recording.
26:45 Right.
26:46 So that was, oh yeah, I didn't really just have an air.
26:47 They hit the record button.
26:48 No, but I'm going to like, we'll have signs that represent, you know, people that aren't
26:51 even hearing.
26:52 Absolutely.
26:53 I'll be like, super fly.
26:54 Jimmy Schmooka.
26:55 Like that's who I'm going to be.
26:56 I'll buy us all, I'll buy us all 80s wrestler's t-shirts.
26:57 It'll be great.
26:58 Okay.
26:59 I'll go with that.
27:00 I'll frame my own sleeves like Macho Man.
27:01 Yeah.
27:02 We should definitely dress up.
27:03 Yeah.
27:04 I don't know, I've only been to one, I've only ever been to one.
27:09 And it was when I was 16.
27:10 I heard Rick James.
27:12 I heard Rick James.
27:13 He's like, they dressed like Rick James.
27:15 Hey, why would they, why would they do that?
27:18 Jake, how have you only been to one thing?
27:20 Just where would you?
27:21 I mean, I've just never felt compelled to go.
27:23 It's very different when you're, I've been to one and it's so different when you go in
27:27 person.
27:28 Hey, can you get on your, your iPhone here?
27:29 Cause this is like an iPhone size for people like you.
27:31 See when the WWE comes like, I don't go to AEW or any of these other like, you know, ratchet
27:37 things that are trying to be WWE.
27:39 We're going name brand.
27:40 Okay.
27:41 We need you to look it up.
27:42 We can't move on to what the business we need to attend to until we know the tour schedule
27:46 and we see whenever it's come.
27:47 Why are you so disappointed in this?
27:48 This is a big moment.
27:49 I'm so upset with Stacy right now.
27:52 I have a, I have a good way to tell you what to wear.
27:54 Have you ever gone to a NASCAR race?
27:56 I have not.
27:57 But I'd just wear, just wear whatever you would wear to a NASCAR race.
28:00 This is an issue where to a WWE show off the bad tattoos, right?
28:05 You know, show off the bad, like farmer's tan thing.
28:08 You got going on?
28:09 Come on, Jake.
28:10 I'm going to go to like jeans where one leg is tucked into the boot, you know, one leg
28:14 is one leg is out.
28:15 Well, maybe only one sleeve missing, one sleeve, one sleeve missing.
28:18 I have this weird prayer that I'm like going to be out of town when they're going to be
28:22 here.
28:23 So maybe cut off shorts, cut off shorts are also acceptable.
28:26 Oh man.
28:27 November 24th.
28:28 Oh, that's right after my birthday.
28:30 Oh, that's hunting season.
28:31 That's hard.
28:32 It's one day.
28:33 It's one day.
28:34 I'm killing a deer that day for sure.
28:35 Yeah, in the morning, but in the evening, we will be worshiping at the altar of whoever
28:38 is the champion, Jordan Rhodes or something.
28:40 Wait, wait, wait.
28:41 So what is it?
28:42 November 24th.
28:43 Monday night or Oh, Monday night.
28:45 But you're not hunting on Monday night.
28:46 We're so good.
28:47 I'm gonna encounter right now.
28:50 Let's see.
28:51 Oh, look at all that.
28:52 Look, I've got so much.
28:53 Look, it even says no meetings on November 24th until 5 p.m.
28:57 No one knows raw.
28:58 Does it sound like a family game night?
29:00 No, the game is going to be dad's missing.
29:03 See, that's why I'm trying to put family game night on your calendar because then every
29:08 Monday night.
29:09 Oh, sorry.
29:10 Family game night.
29:11 No, guys, we already put our hands in and we're all putting in our counters right now.
29:15 November the 24th, Monday night raw with 10 exclamation points.
29:19 That is the first day of Thanksgiving break.
29:21 So just just keep that in mind.
29:23 Yeah, just let think of the amount of time we have to prepare our families to let them
29:26 know priorities, get your priorities straight because we're recording this in August, y'all.
29:31 So we're there.
29:32 Jake, we're there.
29:33 You coordinated.
29:34 We're going.
29:35 We were just talking to Sunday school this morning about guys events that we can all
29:37 go to.
29:38 Is there anything more mainly than dudes going and doing something like this?
29:41 What happens?
29:42 There's a lot of stuff more mainly than that.
29:43 What happens if we go and we, the three of us, novices love it and we're like, we're
29:49 back in.
29:50 I'm telling you.
29:51 Back in hard.
29:52 What a beautiful thing that would be.
29:53 Right.
29:54 How much closer will we get to the weekly?
29:55 I don't know.
29:56 He'll actually tell us who he is.
29:57 Would that have been your wrestling name?
29:59 You would have been the Winkler.
30:00 No.
30:01 Your finish would have been winking on somebody or something.
30:03 That'd be like your people's eyebrows.
30:05 You're winking at everybody.
30:06 All right.
30:07 I'm going to make fun of myself a little bit more here.
30:08 So I had a buddy of mine who was also really into wrestling and we were going to be a tag
30:12 team.
30:13 We were going to call ourselves leaving alone.
30:16 The winky Twinkies.
30:17 Yeah.
30:18 You're going to like that.
30:19 Yeah.
30:20 It's actually worse.
30:21 We were going to be called vicious and delicious.
30:22 That's.
30:23 Yes.
30:24 Yes.
30:25 Yes.
30:26 Yes.
30:27 Oh.
30:28 Write that down.
30:29 We've got to know who would have been delicious.
30:31 Was not me.
30:32 Okay.
30:33 The other the other guy considered himself a little bit of his ladies man but.
30:37 Yikes.
30:38 Vicious and delicious.
30:39 I think I like.
30:40 Who are the guys that would walk around like this.
30:41 The Bushwhacker.
30:42 The Bushwhacker.
30:43 Yeah.
30:44 Okay.
30:45 You know how you do those little clips on Instagram where it's only like a small piece
30:47 and it's it's highlighted for the show.
30:50 Yeah.
30:51 That needs to be that's easy.
30:52 Vicious.
30:53 I mean, there's like 17 of those that have happened so far in this episode.
30:55 And we haven't even gotten down to business.
30:56 Hey, what time does it start and have you bought the tickets already?
31:00 630.
31:01 I have not.
31:02 630.
31:03 You got to put that in the counter.
31:04 We were good tickets too.
31:05 I mean, we want to be down there.
31:06 You need to feel the sweat and blood.
31:07 Where's it at?
31:08 Pay comp center.
31:09 Pay comp center.
31:10 Yeah.
31:11 I'm not sitting up in the loud city or something like that.
31:12 I want to smell Roman Reigns or whoever's own money.
31:15 This is a business.
31:16 This is a business deduction.
31:17 Surely, right?
31:18 I wish.
31:19 It's got to be business deduction.
31:20 That'd be great if it was.
31:21 I don't think they allow entertainment deductions anymore though.
31:23 Oh, I don't know.
31:24 I think the big beautiful bill got rid of a lot of that fun stuff.
31:28 So.
31:29 Yeah, but it's government.
31:30 You do government stuff.
31:31 I'm doing this as a service project actually.
31:33 Yeah.
31:34 Yeah.
31:35 So yeah, this is your reminder.
31:36 It's got my Mount Rush right here on top and it's just going to say raw and this is
31:41 what you're putting this in your pocket and you're going to go home and you're telling
31:43 that lovely lady Winkler that it's going down and she knows.
31:47 I'm going to tell her this is her fault.
31:49 This isn't delicious.
31:50 It's got to happen.
31:52 Dude, you know how to make AI images.
31:54 Let's get him.
31:55 Can we get a picture of your buddy?
31:56 Delicious.
31:57 That's a word.
31:58 No.
31:59 My wife has a screen printing thing where she can make sure.
32:01 So all we have to do is tell him.
32:03 I mean, it's funny.
32:04 This guy is.
32:05 I mean, you know, he's all he's a pretty big time attorney.
32:09 So I just want to share it.
32:11 He's not still into it like I mean, he wants to watch it, but his wife is basically like
32:14 absolutely not.
32:15 So he's delicious.
32:16 He's right.
32:17 I want to share this.
32:18 I was always delicious.
32:19 I'm like delicious.
32:20 Hey, since you already did this, what was yells like tagline and what was it finished?
32:26 Oh, we didn't have it.
32:27 We didn't think about that.
32:28 Not true.
32:29 You didn't have that finishing move.
32:30 No.
32:31 Biggest lie in the history of this.
32:32 No.
32:33 I did not have a finishing move.
32:34 Shaking bag.
32:35 I wish I had.
32:36 I mean, honestly, if I had something, listen, I just coped to vicious and delicious.
32:39 If you don't think I would actually admit to a finishing move, good point, I will accept
32:43 that point.
32:44 It's got to be something like something harsh and then like a kiss on the cheek and it
32:48 passes out.
32:51 Right.
32:52 So you like, I said, you bulldog Nelson.
32:55 I'm right.
32:56 And then you're like waving DDT in him and all that.
32:59 And then the guy just kisses him.
33:01 He falls over.
33:02 He just flat.
33:03 And do you both pin him?
33:04 Or is it?
33:05 Did you take a little bit of a little bit of back a little bit of give and take pictures
33:10 and delicious?
33:11 No.
33:12 No.
33:13 Again, Jesus, what has been uncovered all because I wanted to argue about the karate
33:16 kid.
33:17 How?
33:18 Oh, the tangle web we weave this, by the way, a masterclass into flexion.
33:23 We were all over you on karate kid and suddenly it's on me for WWE.
33:26 Well, here's another deflection.
33:27 We're going, we're going to go back to the book of Romans.
33:29 We're half an hour into this thing.
33:32 But you know what's funny?
33:33 According to David Thompson, my dad, some of his favorite parts, he watches every episode
33:38 of this podcast.
33:39 He loves the first part of the forging table when we get after each other.
33:42 And he's like, who's that guy?
33:43 Oh, he's good after him.
33:44 I'm like, Ryan, don't even have to say it.
33:46 He's Ryan Horn.
33:47 He's like, yeah, I love when y'all y'all just give it back and forth to each other.
33:49 So anyway, that was for David Thompson.
33:52 There you go.
33:53 Dad.
33:54 That was for you.
33:55 David, but here we are.
33:56 We are getting into the book of Romans.
33:57 And just as a reminder, because, you know, especially for these first few recordings for
34:00 Romans, I do want to remind the audience, we decided as a group that we're going to
34:03 be approaching Romans just quite a bit differently because we're all meeting on the back porch.
34:07 I kind of pitched all on this idea.
34:09 It was going to be a little bit uncomfortable for us and definitely a change of pace and
34:13 a change of our preparation.
34:14 But we're not approaching Romans like we've approached Nehemiah and Matthew and all these
34:18 things where it's like, hey, we're doing in one chapter in an hour and however, whatever
34:21 we talk about, we talk about and then we just got to move on.
34:24 We are literally diving deep into the book of Romans.
34:27 We're approaching it like it is Mount Rushmore.
34:29 That's what Matt Chandler said.
34:30 He's like, look, this, this letter is Mount Rushmore.
34:32 And so again, thank you to Matt Chandler for spending four hours with, with our audience
34:36 and recording those first four episodes.
34:38 And in four hours, we, we got through about six and a half, six and a half versus, right?
34:43 I mean, we spent two and a half hours roughly on Romans one one, but we are going to get
34:48 in to it today and we're going to be starting with seven.
34:51 We're going to be reading verse seven.
34:54 But I did actually, I don't want to take too, too long here, but y'all haven't been
34:58 on for our Romans recording yet.
35:00 All of y'all at different times reached out to me or expressed not concern to me, but
35:05 I could, I could tell that in our group message, when we weren't fighting about things that
35:09 are clearly action movies or things like that, when everyone kind of feels the weight.
35:13 Of the preparation for this.
35:15 And so for you two, y'all were in a Bible study previously where y'all spent basically
35:20 a year in the book of Romans, but then it, I don't know about you guys.
35:23 I'll let you speak for yourself.
35:25 Something feels different about whenever we decide, I remember what it felt like when
35:28 I said, when we decide we were going to do Matthew, it's like, Oh boy, we're doing a
35:31 gospel.
35:32 Like if we really got to put on our big boy pants and, you know, getting into Genesis
35:36 it's like, okay, that's a year in Genesis, like we can't mess this up.
35:39 But with Romans, it just feels way heavier for some reason.
35:41 I guess for whatever reason for me, when I have a chapter, I was like, okay, I know
35:45 exactly how much material we're looking at.
35:47 I can have three or four bullet points ready to go.
35:50 And for me, you guys might feel the same way, I don't want to look stupid or look like
35:53 an idiot.
35:54 I don't want to say something.
35:55 It makes sense.
35:56 Yeah.
35:57 And to be completely vulnerable, we just had Mr. Matt Chandler sitting here.
36:03 And what he had to say, I'm sure has to be drastically better than anything I could possibly
36:07 say.
36:08 So I feel, I feel a little bit of fish out of water here and I've never, I've never done
36:11 something like this out in the open where I'm trying to go through scripture verse by
36:16 verse and tear it apart the way we're trying to do it.
36:18 So it feels uneasy to me.
36:20 No, I think, you know, Terry had a series.
36:24 Shout out, Terry Fakes.
36:26 Terry had a series, man, I can't remember I was trying to look it up what the name of
36:30 it was.
36:31 It was a Wednesday night series.
36:32 What is Christianity?
36:33 Oh.
36:34 And so for what is Christianity or what is it all about, something like that?
36:39 It was the book of Romans.
36:41 And so that's why I think, I mean, I probably have a little being in the Bible study and
36:45 stuff and seeing, seeing that y'all's notes are much more in depth than mine.
36:50 But that's kind of how I do the Bible study too, is I, you know, go in and listen and,
36:54 you know, kind of pop up things that, that I've heard and read through different stuff.
37:01 But that book is the best example of if you want somebody to see what Christianity is,
37:08 if they read through Romans, they'll get a really good picture of not only who Christ
37:13 was, but what it looks like to join into the way to follow Christ and not just the story
37:19 of it, but the examples and explanations of why we do what we do.
37:24 Well, and I think as well, because yeah, shout out to Pastor Mark Hitchcock at Faith Bible
37:28 Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, a expository preacher going through books of the Bible, verse by
37:32 verse, we're, we just started the book of Ephesians last week, again, we're recording
37:38 this in August, but I, I, I argument could be made that the most theologically dense letter
37:46 of Paul is Ephesians because of how short it is and how basically every phrase is pregnant
37:51 with theology and meaning.
37:53 But the most theologically, uh, all encompassing, I guess would be Romans, which is why people
37:59 call it Mount Everest because some people prefer to climb K to or Denali or whatever,
38:04 but it's like there's only one Mount Everest.
38:06 And so you're kind of getting both sides of that, which kind of goes to your point a
38:09 little bit.
38:10 But what about you, Jake?
38:11 I kind of look at Romans.
38:12 It's, it's like, um, if you're familiar with cliff notes, oh yeah, to me, it's like the
38:17 cliff notes of the entire scripture of all the Bible, uh, you see Paul kind of dance
38:23 in and out of the Old Testament, um, you know, he's obviously writing to both Gentiles and
38:28 Jews here, uh, the, you know, every time he's quoting the Old Testament, I always, I'm always
38:35 having to remind myself, like Gentiles don't get this.
38:39 So he's talking to the Jews.
38:40 Yeah.
38:41 Gentiles don't get this.
38:42 They don't know the Old Testament when he's writing this, um, this was written 20 years
38:47 after his road to Damascus, uh, the conversion there about 20 years after.
38:53 And so, you know, if you kind of think about everything that happened to him everywhere
38:58 he's been, where he shared the gospel over the 20 year timeframe, it's almost like to
39:03 me, if you've been doing this for 20 years, you've probably perfected your message.
39:08 And so in a real sense, it's like, yeah, I'm not just, I'm not just giving you, not
39:14 just giving you the gospel here.
39:16 I'm literally, this is the word, all of it, all in one place.
39:21 Well, guys, we've, or please since since you were talking specifically about Paul, am
39:25 I the only one at the table and I'm going to feel really silly if I am, am I the only
39:29 one at the table that did not know that not only was Paul, I knew that I didn't know he's
39:34 a Pharisee to begin with.
39:35 I did not.
39:36 I knew that.
39:37 That's crazy.
39:38 I did.
39:39 Not just that.
39:40 It's not like the Jew of Jews Pharisee, Pharisee, I knew he was persecuting Christians
39:46 and road to Damascus.
39:47 That's when he was converted.
39:50 But I did not know that he was actually a Pharisee.
39:52 Jew Pharisee, Pharisees, Roman citizen, I mean, gosh, this guy had no, because when
39:58 people try to like explain, ah, how could the Bible, you know, why would a guy like
40:01 Paul, they're like, you know, Paul was, he was a businessman, like he saw the writing
40:05 on the wall.
40:06 He was a politician.
40:07 Like he knew things are going to shift.
40:08 No, Roman citizen, Pharisee, Pharisees, Jew, there was no reason whatsoever for him
40:14 to join the way.
40:15 Isn't it weird in life how like, yeah, I've been exposed to church.
40:17 I was, went to a Christian school, went to a Christian college, go to, been to church regularly,
40:22 familiar with Paul.
40:23 I'd never heard that he was a Pharisee.
40:25 I don't know how did I miss that man.
40:26 But dude, the amount of things that I miss whenever having none of that, and then some
40:31 of the things that I'm like, oh, I just read it and still not in there somehow.
40:34 I don't know.
40:35 It shocked me.
40:36 I was like, oh, wow.
40:37 Who was, who was his, because he studied under Camillia?
40:38 Camillia.
40:39 Yeah.
40:40 Yeah.
40:41 And so that guy, I didn't realize, but he still has a following, like, like, Camillia.
40:44 Yeah.
40:45 Like he is a rabbi that was, like you said, this was not a business plan by, by him because
40:51 he was already in the best position.
40:53 Yeah.
40:54 He was like the top student of this guy.
40:55 You know, like you don't leave that spot.
40:57 Everybody around him, even, even if he hadn't gone this direction, if he would have just
41:01 picked a different rabbi, which I guess technically you could say he did, but if he would have
41:06 just picked a different rabbi within the Jewish faith, everybody would have said, well, you
41:10 just left the top guy to go to some second tier, you know, even within that culture.
41:15 So I mean, like, yeah, Harvard business review would not have done an article on his pick
41:19 of a, of a business move or an investment.
41:21 So let's, let's do verse seven.
41:23 So we got to verse seven last week, but Adam just read verse seven and let everyone know
41:29 a version reading.
41:30 Oh, I don't know.
41:31 ESV.
41:32 Yeah.
41:33 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints, grace to you and peace
41:37 from God, our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
41:40 So, you know, grace to you.
41:42 That's kind of a typical greeting for Paul.
41:44 So if you go to first Corinthians one, there's, you know, another kind of grace to you reference
41:48 there.
41:50 But again, he's writing a letter to those in Rome, to the believers in Rome, to the church
41:54 in Rome for a city that as we'll see very shortly, he's longed to go to, but has never
41:59 been to yet.
42:01 But an interesting thing here is he's addressing, he's addressing this to the saints, right?
42:08 And I forget the commentary.
42:09 I forgot to write it down.
42:10 So I'd love to be able to give credit, but it's like you hear the words saints.
42:14 And so there's some, you know, obviously Jake from your Catholic background.
42:17 There's some, you know, standards there and there's some like, okay, here's the boxes
42:20 you have to check to check to be considered for sainthood.
42:23 But the, the thing that I wrote down was being saints is our profession.
42:27 It is above every other marker of us is being a saint because saints mean sanctified ones.
42:35 And sanctification doesn't come through anything else than the blood of Christ through the,
42:40 the faith that there was perpetuation for our individual sin debt.
42:45 And so yeah, let's just start our discussion there with verse seven.
42:48 See how far we go.
42:49 We circled around the same thing and I circled also the word sanctified and it means exactly
42:54 means to be set apart by the Holy Spirit.
42:56 You've been set to the side.
42:57 And so I went down the road of who are the saints.
43:00 So we're, we've got this guy who's a Pharisee and now he's, he's talking to the Gentiles,
43:05 he's talking to the Jews, talking to the Greeks.
43:06 Who is it?
43:07 It's all of us.
43:08 It's all of us who are a part of the church who have been beloved by God.
43:12 All of us are saints, all of us at this table, all of us who believe we are all part of that
43:15 group.
43:16 What about you guys on seven, because this is the end of his greeting, right?
43:22 So, and I mean, there, there's so much even here in the greeting, we, we don't even yet
43:27 know what he's going to be talking about.
43:29 I don't want to, you know, I'm real careful to try to not beat up on the Catholic stance
43:34 on this as far as saints, but I would like to know, I mean, Jake, maybe from your background,
43:39 I mean, they came across this scripture, was it talked about as if, as if this was just
43:46 kind of to a different audience and it's not the same type of same, you know, Catholics
43:51 don't read their Bible.
43:52 Well, then I thought about that too.
43:54 I was like, well, I wonder if this was just not a really like, hey, let's, let's go and
43:58 study this little piece right here.
44:00 I mean, what, what do you think from your history?
44:02 So, so number one correction.
44:04 So they do read their Bible. I mean, they read, they, the structure of every service
44:10 is you have two scriptures read one Psalm and then actually scripture, Psalm, scripture,
44:18 and then gospel.
44:20 So you get that every, every service at every mass.
44:24 As far as same hood, I mean, perfectly honest, you, you know, it's almost like they have
44:31 their hall of fame saints, but they don't, I don't really recall them mentioning a lot
44:37 of the saints in mass.
44:40 You would hear, you would hear them talk about Mary, okay?
44:43 So Mary would be a part of service.
44:46 And you would hear them talk about Jesus and our Lord and the Holy Spirit and, and, and
44:51 all of those things, but it's not like they, you know, just like any other faith, you have
44:57 people who took their, you take their eye off the ball. Okay. I think, you know, Kyle,
45:02 you've said before, it's not like all Catholics, it's not, no, it's not like all Catholics
45:06 are lacking salvation. Some of them have put their faith in Christ.
45:09 Yeah.
45:10 The issue is, is there's a lot who have decided to elevate what I would say the hall of fame
45:14 saints because it's not really the saints, the way I would read it from the scriptures,
45:19 where all saints as followers of Christ, but they put their focus on the hall of famers.
45:24 So do you, do you feel like Catholics read this? And when they read the word saints that
45:27 they think of people who have been sainted? Yeah. And I mean, I think, I think it's definitely
45:32 more focused on, and, and it's interesting because, you know, it's not capital S saints.
45:37 It's lowercase. I mean, it's, it's meant to be in body more than just certain people.
45:43 And he's specifically talking to the ones in Rome. And so, yeah, Catholicism would have
45:49 to be like, okay, so it's only the people that had met the standards of sainthood that
45:54 were currently residing in Rome during the three years before Paul got there.
45:59 Yeah. Well, and I think the better, the only one that I think would be, well, Peter wasn't
46:03 there. No, so I mean, nobody.
46:05 I think the better argument here, if I am on that stance is not to say that it was talking
46:10 about saints, but it says, uh, those loved by God and called to be saints. That it wasn't
46:16 defining these people are saints. Yeah, basically we are all called to sainthood in even the Catholic
46:23 form, but only there are a small few who achieved it. That's, that's, if I'm going to, you know,
46:28 build the argument for the other side, that's where I would, I would kind of be like, well,
46:32 yeah, this is saying for everybody that God loved, it's called to be saints. And we're all called
46:36 to that sainthood type of faith. Yeah, but what does it really mean? I mean, when you start talking
46:41 about sainthood, I mean, yeah, I mean, well, no, I mean, but even the ones that you would say are
46:47 the Hall of Famers, uh, you know, the St. Christopher's and the St. Nicholas and St. Michael, uh,
46:54 when you start going through those, I mean, really what you're talking about here,
46:58 what does it mean to be a saint? It just means obedience. It just means obedience. It's,
47:03 I've been consumed by the Holy Spirit. I consistently obey the Holy Spirit.
47:07 I do what it tells me to do. I do what it is asking me to do. And, and I'm unequivocally
47:15 obeying that. So, but there is different criteria for sainthood within the Catholic.
47:21 Well, sure. They're talking about miracles. You have to miracle. You have to, what do you know?
47:26 I mean, can you reference generally, generally, it is, I mean, it is the faithful obedience, but
47:32 it's also there's, there generally has to be a, you have to be able to point to three miracles.
47:38 I think when I say, when you say, when we say the word miracle, we're going to probably think
47:43 one thing, but some of it is just like, um, a natural occurrence. Yeah. Well, I mean, I would
47:50 be like, okay, you went into an area that basically did not know Christ at all and you left and
47:56 everybody knew Christ and, and you know, so the faithful evangelism can actually lead to that. I
48:02 mean, we have one of the, actually a Catholic saint is from Oklahoma City, St. Stanley Roder.
48:08 Yeah. So, um, and, and if you actually go and read his story, it wasn't like he's,
48:13 it's not like you can actually point to like, Oh, that is something absolutely supernatural that
48:18 happened. You know, it's, it seemed the more I've read into it, it's, it seems like they get,
48:23 they went hunting and finding for the miracle. It's like, did it? Well, they have that. Yeah,
48:28 they all do. I mean, yeah. I've got a description of the process here. So, uh,
48:34 first is a reputation for holiness. So a life of virtue, holiness, fidelity.
48:38 Then there's the official process. So a local bishop will investigate the person's life,
48:42 writings, reputation of holiness. The pope will recognize that person lived, uh, heroic,
48:47 virtuous life. Um, then there's the beautification, which is at least one, uh, verified miracle.
48:54 The exceptions are martyrs. Um, and, you know, this allows for local and regional, uh,
49:01 veneration. Then there's canonization, which is a second verified miracle,
49:04 uh, is required unless the person's a martyr. And then the pope formally declares that person
49:08 a saint so that miracles have to be scientifically unexplained, usually healings, uh,
49:13 investigated through medical and theological experts, considered confirmation of the person's
49:17 presence in heaven and their intercession with God. And then, uh, standards of life, uh,
49:22 basically heroic virtue and living out of the Christian faith, orthodoxy and belief,
49:26 basically meaning that they're Catholic, uh, holiness in ordinary or extraordinary
49:30 circumstances and endurance and suffering and unwavering faithfulness to Christ.
49:33 So it looks like a couple of miracles of minimum that cannot be explained scientifically.
49:37 Yeah. Which is the people better. Who makes that decision? Like who, who came up with that?
49:40 The pope, who's obviously we had an unbroken, uh, pope, you know,
49:44 pope reasons, you know, the first entry, obviously. Saint Peter, uh, the first pope.
49:48 Which I mean, it's, it's papal authority. I mean, so,
49:53 uh, if you want to go back to, uh, I mean, if you kind of want to under,
49:57 if you're wanting to understand like their thought process, as you try to maybe evangelize
50:02 to a Catholic, um, in terms of, you know, uh, a faith based upon grace and, and mercy
50:11 as opposed to, uh, works, you know, the salvation through grace, uh, the message that you basically
50:18 have to get across is it's, it's not too dissimilar to what you would encounter with someone
50:23 who's Islamic because they've been brought up where there is an authority and I mean, honestly,
50:31 as the, with Francis, as he passed away, one of the things that actually did happen that was
50:37 maybe kind of good. Uh, as far as him being a pope, as it did kind of shake a lot of Catholics
50:42 out of the papal authority. Everyone I know. Yeah. If I ever talked to any of them, they would get
50:47 shifty and like lukewarm on Francis. Why was that? What was the, because he was so, he was
50:53 very liberal pope and he was very open door to it. And they kind of felt like it was a, it was a,
50:59 a move away from the tradition. So that kind of, almost felt like a universalist a little bit
51:05 is, is really where it was going. And every time I ever asked or poked around it, you could just
51:10 tell they were uncomfortable. Yeah. They did not like talking about Francis and which to me is a
51:14 problem because they've elevated him to this position to where you can't be uncomfortable with
51:19 them. Like he's the mouthpiece of God. If he's the mouthpiece of God, then you can't be like,
51:23 Oh, I don't really know if I agree with what he's saying here. That's a problem.
51:27 Correct. And the Vatican. So this was always the question I would ask that we would go from
51:31 shifty to silent, but I would ask some, and I've, I've got friends of mine that are just super
51:36 devout, amazing people. Like I would certainly consider them to be Catholics who are safe.
51:41 Sure. And I would be like, okay, so if the pope says something that disagrees with the Bible,
51:48 who holds authority, like to whose authority do we appeal to the authority of scripture or to
51:55 the authority of the pope? And I never got an answer. I would get some sort of cobbled together
52:01 together answer that, well, it's both and soul scripture doesn't make any sense because they
52:04 didn't have scripture in the early church and all that. So whose authority would there have been?
52:08 And they go back to their interpretation, which is that when Jesus said on this rock, I would
52:12 build my church. It's not the rock of salvation, but it's the rock of Peter, you know, the first
52:16 century former fishermen. And so that's kind of the difference with how they would consider that.
52:21 But yeah, lots of awkwardness. Yeah. I mean, again, going, just going back to that authority
52:27 argument, I mean, it is when when your authority is a human being, because despite what they might
52:36 think that is what the pope is, it is simply a human being, then then yeah, you are you're subject
52:44 to so like, you're you're basically just listening and going along with what someone who has also
52:51 fallen has gone into. The issue is like, and for Protestants, our authority is the scripture itself.
52:58 But it's also why we have like 10,000 denominations, because somebody will read scripture and go,
53:04 well, I think it means this. And well, I think you're wrong. And I think it means this.
53:08 And so we're going to split up over that. Well, that literally came up this morning in our
53:14 service this morning, because, you know, as as Joby likes saying, as a lot of people like to say,
53:18 and scripture just says what it says. Well, no, it's like, it means what it means. And we try to
53:25 discern what it means. And in that discernment process, you get people that think, oh, if you're
53:30 not baptized, you can't go to heaven, right? Or if you have another, you know, hey, not supposed
53:36 to have instruments during worship, or you have to have this type of music, or your service has
53:41 to be this link, or this is exactly how you have to be saved. You have to have an altar call,
53:46 you have to have people to be able to come down, you have to have elders, you have to have women
53:48 elders like churches that will remain nameless, or whatever thing is. But like, that's kind of
53:53 the thing where it starts to get a little bit like sticky, where that's where the Catholics
53:57 have a really good argument. They're like, oh, yeah. So scripture people, all you solo people,
54:02 all you reformation people, which church am I to go to if I convert to Protestantism?
54:06 Like which ones got it nailed? Right. It's like, there's not a great answer for us on our
54:10 end. But go ahead, Russ, you were going to the, so like the whole argument would let the Bible say
54:14 what it wants to say. I do think so Terry says that, but he follows it up to with and let it be what
54:20 it wants to be. Because the idea there too is, yes, you can say, well, that's what the scripture
54:25 says, but there's times that the scripture says something, but we are making it be something in
54:30 that moment that it's really not trying to be. It's, it's, it has a character in that moment that
54:36 we're trying to, or we're adding a character into that moment. And it is just saying something,
54:41 but that scripture may be a part of something that we just need to accept. Okay, that's something
54:45 that dives a little bit deeper. And if we read over here and we, we see how all this plays out
54:50 versus, there's a, my problem with that is there's a lot of scripture that a lot of other religions
54:56 use against Christians that if you just say, well, just let the scripture, that's what it says.
55:00 Okay. Well, we don't use that. We, we don't reference or, or disreference the context anywhere else.
55:08 So we can't really do that with ourselves and just pull stuff out and be like, this is what it says.
55:11 Although I do agree, most time we do need to just let it say what it wants to say and be what it
55:16 wants to be. And then maybe marinate on, on that. Let it say what it says. Let it be what it wants
55:22 to be similar to like when people break down what, what is, you know, I am what I am. What does that
55:27 even mean? No, it's more like I be what I be, which just doesn't sound good in English.
55:31 But you have to take the context into account. You have to take the audience into the account.
55:37 Hey, is this descriptive or prescriptive? Because again, a lot of people, if they like it, it's,
55:41 you know, prescriptive, if they don't like it, it's descriptive. Yeah, you got to be very, very careful.
55:45 Part of it being what it wants to be. I mean, the context is, is taking that in town. It is
55:51 what it is. He is talking to who he is talking to. That's the part of the, let it be what it,
55:55 what it wants to be as well. Well, let's talk, please, let's talk about a quick, a quick example
56:00 that I think wraps this up. And we're going to skip a little bit to Romans 1, 9. It says,
56:04 at the very beginning, it says, for God is my witness. And some of the things that I read here is,
56:08 that seems like a vowel, right? And in James 5, a vowel or an oath. And in James 5, 12, it says,
56:15 "Above all my brethren, do not swear either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath,
56:20 but let your yes be yes and your no be no." Yeah. And so when I read that, I was like, man,
56:24 that seems like it's in contrast. You know, that doesn't seem, okay, I'm reading Romans 1, 9,
56:28 and it starts off with a vowel or an oath that Paul is saying, but then here in James 5, 12,
56:32 it tells me don't do that. Please reconcile these two things. It says something similar to Matthew 5,
56:36 34, 37. So, so, so you can't, to your point, what we're talking about in underneath, so that some,
56:43 don't understand, we're talking about Calvinism versus Armenianism was the discussion that we
56:46 were having today. And the Bible says what it says. Well, that's kind of, I do agree, I understand,
56:51 I read these words, but it's not always that simple as my argument. You can't just read this one verse
56:56 and be like, well, unconditional election period in the story. Why are we even talking about this?
57:01 My issue, my issue, anytime somebody says, well, the Bible says what it says and uses that as an
57:06 argument, then I would like to, I would like for you to explain why transubstantiation is not a thing,
57:14 because it seems pretty clear in John that Jesus is telling us to eat of his flesh and drink of his
57:22 blood. It's pretty, if so, if you're taking or you've said it before, why do we have both our eyes?
57:28 Yeah. Why haven't we talked about it? Well, I told people again, when you, when you get into
57:33 this discussion with someone that's like, the textor says what it says, and it means what it means.
57:37 And this is, this typically goes with a young Earth older debate to where it's like, it says
57:42 days, enough of this debate. It says days, it is 24 hour days. If the Bible means what it means,
57:48 and that's what it says. And I was like, so Jesus is a vine. He's literally a vine, John 15.
57:53 Like, oh, he's literally a door. Where did not he is a door? Is it ochre metal? Like, and so,
57:58 but then I like, no, no, no, that's, that's a difference in language. I was like, oh, so are we
58:01 admitting that there are categories that are not to be described in the same way was Solomon
58:06 literally describing to deer on the front of his wife. Like, you know, like, again, that's when
58:12 you, there are different categories. I don't know why that popped. I was wondering the same thing.
58:17 I was like, you just had that way. Let's go back to WF and that chambered.
58:21 Damn. All right. We're coming back. No, but that that's literally the point to where it's like,
58:27 that's why I love the way JT English put it whenever he was on my, my show months ago.
58:31 A lot of people know stories from the Bible, but they don't reckon with the story of the Bible.
58:37 So they're not reading Isaiah through a lens of the gospel. They're not reading revelation
58:43 through a lens of the gospel. They're not, so they're not considering and reckoning with,
58:48 hey, what is this story in Nehemiah, right? Which I express how much I love the book Nehemiah.
58:53 How does this relate to the ultimate story, which is the gospel, right? And again, if you don't approach
59:00 scripture reading in that way, then it does become problematic, because then you will get
59:04 these bumper sticker verses that become, this is my life verse. And it's like, your life verse is
59:10 misapplied. That's rough, right? Of all the verses, you pick the one that doesn't actually
59:14 mean anything to you. What's the one that always gets brought up in Sunday school class is the one
59:18 that says, you know, I have the plans I've made for you to prosper you and like the very next verse
59:26 is that I will crush you under my head. It was like, you should have kept reading. Yeah. Well,
59:32 and again, to quote Kyle, I think from us, I can do all things through Christ through,
59:35 strengthen me. No, you can't. I bet you can't. No, you definitely can't do not get up under that
59:40 bench press with a thousand pounds on it. It's not going to work out for you. Well, well, guys,
59:44 you know, we covered a tremendous amount of ground as it pertains to getting to know the people at
59:49 this table and the things that they would have rather not come out into the public. But hey,
59:53 Jake, here's the, here's the thing. No one listens to the show. It's not big. Like we don't have
59:57 anybody. No one's going to bring this up to you in public. Like they're definitely not going to,
1:00:00 but we put, we put our hands in. And so we're all in November, Oklahoma City,
1:00:06 Paycom Center, guys, you heard it here first. If you want to maybe meet some of your favorite
1:00:10 forging tablers or something like that, we will be there ringside. Oh, man. I don't know.

1:00:33 delicious happen. Oh my gosh. Get in here. Get in here. Come on. We're pink in. Let's connect
1:00:37 the pink. I said that as a joke that that's how bad the first thing was. And then we actually
1:00:45 just did a pinky promise right over that. Hey, has there ever been, dude, we should have saved
1:00:51 that quadruple pinky promise for pride months, maybe for a pride month, 2026. We can bring that
1:00:56 background. But guys, we are going to have to leave it there. So before that you go, we are
