00:01:54.000Before he goes and asks me questions, I just wanted to give this man the flowers that he deserves.
00:02:03.000If there was a time that this country had a turning point, it is because this man and men like him got on their feet, they said no to this country, they grabbed their families, and they stood up for the word of God.
00:03:30.000And we are an organization that celebrates marriage, that celebrates the family, that rejects hookup culture, that thinks that this whole sexual promiscuity is a disaster.
00:03:41.000We want people to save themselves from marriage.
00:03:44.000We want people to celebrate the sacrament of marriage and the divinity around that.
00:03:49.000Talk about how your life changed as you got married this last year.
00:03:54.000Well, I gotta speak from my heart, and the truth is, I was not following the Word of God.
00:04:17.000And the truth is, after I got married and I saw all the beauty behind it, He wasn't angry, He was sad.
00:04:25.000When he sees that I chose the secular world and what they feared, and I listened to their music and I listened to their movies, I feared the wrong thing.
00:04:48.000When I got married, I got on my hands and knees and I bawled my eyes out because what he was giving to me, I was pushing this blessing away from me.
00:04:59.000I pushed the beauty of marriage away from me and I taught everybody around me.
00:05:28.000I saw what my mom was doing that I didn't appreciate.
00:05:32.000There's so much reflection of Christ behind that.
00:05:35.000Of course the devil doesn't want you to get married.
00:05:38.000And George, talk about how you have grown from that and just the celebration of marriage and you look at your life before you were married versus now being married.
00:05:47.000One is full of joy and peace and security, and the other one is like, bro, they just keep trying to find this happiness and joy that only Christ could bring to a marriage with the clubs and these women and all this stuff.
00:06:01.000And I promise you, I know there's a bunch of you out there that are like, yeah, dude, but not me.
00:06:05.000But I promise you, man, clean yourself up.
00:06:13.000If you truly, truly are a man of God, and you're like doing the, I'm waiting until God brings me the right woman, how dare you?
00:06:22.000Why would he bring you that woman when you're acting like a child?
00:06:29.000I am the head of my household, but He is the head of everything.
00:06:33.000So how could He give me something to manage and grow with and build and teach and sharpen if me, myself, I'm acting arrogant and selfish and stupid?
00:06:46.000Anything that goes against the Word of God is foolishness.
00:08:14.000So let's kind of fast forward to, you know, the world that we're living in right now, which increasingly de-emphasizes biblical truth harder and harder for young people to speak out their mind for Christian values.
00:08:28.000You know, having been in both the media space and the Christian world and the secular world, what are the differences in compare and contrast those two?
00:09:03.000And I didn't understand that until I was absolutely at the best place of my career, had the best finance, had the best situation.
00:09:12.000Everything I begged God for was at my feet or at my possession.
00:09:16.000And I'm looking around and I feel like that dead man.
00:09:20.000And I asked God, God, how is it that I feel dead here?
00:09:24.000But when I was working at Five Guys, I felt alive.
00:09:28.000And he whispered in my heart, not audibly, but he said, because when you were flipping burgers, you thought about what I wanted, not what you wanted.
00:09:35.000And when I took that and I was like, okay, then what do I do?
00:10:39.000What I realize this, and I hope this seed plants into your heart, when you meet the almighty God, and you could today, John chapter 1 says that the word became flesh, and he gave us these beautiful words, the Bible.
00:10:52.000I joke and I say basic instructions before leaving earth.
00:10:57.000And what I've learned, and I tell new Christians is this, prepare to be in the presence of a light you have never experienced before.
00:11:08.000That when you stand, I'm so sorry I have to get up, I can't just sit down, but when you stand before God, you're going to be in such a bright atmosphere that you all of a sudden realize who you are.
00:11:20.000And you see your flaws and you see your ickiness and you say, well, why would he ever want me?
00:11:26.000And I want you to know if any man stands before you and says, clean yourself up first, you're not ready to meet God.
00:11:52.000One of you, have any of you, worked for that gift?
00:11:57.000So then why do we question our God for salvation?
00:12:02.000And the only thing you need to do is realize what the truth is.
00:12:05.000And to be honest, Charlene, The reason why we're in a dark place right now in this country, and a lot of people might get mad at me for saying this, we kicked God out of this country.
00:12:19.000You can't complain about the schools after you took God out of the schools.
00:12:24.000You cannot get upset about the government when you know damn well they don't care about Christ.
00:12:31.000But they did before when we were prospering.
00:12:36.000So all it takes is one person to stand up and says, no, I'm not going to believe the lie.
00:12:40.000You can tell the snake, grab the apple, kick a rock.
00:13:31.000Because she'd rip my tongue out of my mouth.
00:13:35.000And so I think that what we need to do is stop being afraid.
00:13:40.000You know, Ben Carson and I had a conversation and he said something so beautiful to me.
00:13:44.000He said, we cannot be the land of the free if we're not the home of the brave.
00:13:53.000And so I gotta ask you guys, what are you brave about?
00:13:57.000People come up to me all the time, they be like, bro, I love the way you speak about Jesus.
00:14:00.000I be like, dude, why are you scared about talking about Jesus?
00:14:04.000Have you not read the gospel where there was millions of people against barely anybody and all they did is dance and sing and praise God and all the armies fell down to their feet and you're scared about a social media post?
00:14:18.000You're scared that somebody's gonna unfollow you?
00:14:21.000You're scared you're not gonna have enough followers?
00:15:18.000And I see more Christians going after Christians than I've ever seen in my life.
00:15:23.000If you have a problem, there's no problem with righteously judging a man.
00:15:29.000But you better bring the Word of God to the table if you're going to point your finger at another man.
00:15:37.000I love every single one of you guys for being here because you guys have the fear of God in you guys.
00:15:44.000But remember, if we only had fear, then we wouldn't really know who Jesus is.
00:15:49.000And if Jesus came down with an attitude and an anger to wipe out the people that didn't understand, none of us would stand.
00:15:58.000So the next time you see your neighbor who does believe in God, but maybe his traditions, maybe his worship, maybe his words, maybe his church is not perfect to the Word of God, but why don't you be the one that God sends to help this man get on the right path instead of being like what the devil wants you to be and kick him while he's down and say, you're crazy.
00:16:20.000We have enough people in this country to say that we're crazy for believing in Christ.
00:16:26.000My sister and I don't always agree, but there will never be one of you guys that could take us apart from each other.
00:17:42.000So once I took the time to ask Jesus Christ, hey, what do you want from me?
00:17:49.000Everything in my life became fruitful.
00:17:52.000Everything in my life became fruitful.
00:17:54.000So if you're going to college or you're starting a career or you have a talent or you have something in your life that you've been working on and you can't get it done, I truly say that if you think you're talented now, if you think you're wise now, if you think that you're sharp now, Wait until you go to the king of kings and say, hey, what do you want from me?
00:18:44.000So if we're going to be sheep, and you are who you hang out with, then start your morning with Christ.
00:18:50.000Fill yourself up with the Holy Spirit so that way when you walk outside of the house, you're not acting like your friends who don't believe in Jesus Christ, but your friends will start acting like you who are reflecting Jesus Christ.
00:19:04.000George, in closing here, talk about the encouragement you receive from people, stories of people's lives transformed that have given their life to Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:15.000What have you seen just as your audience, your followers from your fans?
00:19:21.000I think a lot of people are inspired of where I was at and then where God took me.
00:19:26.000And I think people need to read the gospel.
00:19:29.000I think we got into a very lazy generation where people would rather have another man tell them what God is saying.
00:19:36.000But like, how many of you guys like listening to me talk?
00:19:55.000And the only reason that I may give you goosebumps or may put you on the right path is because you're giving an inkling, a tiny percentage of what I brought from Christ to you.
00:20:09.000So imagine where our country would be if we stop asking our neighbors what we could do and if we start asking Jesus what we could do.
00:20:18.000You know, I want to leave you guys with this.
00:20:21.000When I was a little kid, I dressed up as John F. Kennedy.
00:20:27.000And the line was, don't ask what the country could do for you, but what you could do for the country.
00:20:33.000And I stand before you guys as George Janko, and I'm saying this truly to you guys, our people, our family, for our kingdom.
00:20:40.000Stop asking your neighbors, your country, your family, what you should be, how you should act, and what you should be doing.
00:20:50.000Go to your creator Go to Christ He knows you more than you'll ever know.
00:21:02.000And he loves you with all of his heart.
00:21:05.000The one thing I'm going to leave you with is, it's not, the problem is you do not know Jesus enough.
00:21:10.000The truth is you do not know how much Jesus loves you.
00:21:14.000Because if you would have known that, you would have ripped your clothes off, gone to the church, put your head onto the ground, and did nothing besides worship the way the angels in heaven are worshiping God.
