00:01:14.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:40.000It's very, we're going to do this as an annual thing every because I think the last time we did it was right around right when we got engaged.
00:01:46.000Yeah, that was like November, December last year.
00:04:25.000We have a group called Prayer Warriors where you can sign up and you can be able to share with us like what's on your heart, prayer requests, how we can be doing life with you, celebrating with you.
00:04:37.000Yeah, it's just, it's an amazing community and it's beautiful to be able to grow alongside people on this journey.
00:04:42.000And there's really nothing more important than digging into God's word.
00:04:45.000Well, and people are always giving excuses like, I don't know where to start.
00:04:49.000But you don't, you don't just go through like Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
00:04:54.000I mean, you go through every book, but you don't, you do do it consecutively, but you kind of break it up.
00:04:58.000You have Psalms, Proverbs, New Testament, Old Testament, right?
00:05:00.000And so every day you have a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs.
00:05:05.000And I broke it up that way because I heard the saying goes, unfortunately, is that the Old Testament is where Bible plans go to die because a lot of times you get to Leviticus.
00:05:25.000I know, but there's you have to, and that's the thing that breaks in my heart is that a lot of Christians are like, I don't need to read the Old Testament.
00:05:31.000That really doesn't relate to the New Testament, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:36.000It literally Jesus came to fulfill all of the prophecy.
00:05:41.000And so like, if you don't understand the Old Testament, you'll miss a lot of key points in the New Testament.
00:05:46.000And just all in general, it's just so important to be familiar with God's word because his word never returns void.
00:05:53.000And it's so how do people sign up for it?
00:05:55.000So they can go to bibleon365.com or proclaimstreetwear.com slash Bibleon365.
00:06:02.000And you can sign up there and you get to choose whether or not you want the emails, the text messages, or that join on the app.
00:06:09.000And I do respond back to those text messages.
00:06:12.000How many times do you see me on my phone responding back to people?
00:06:16.000So what have been some of the things that you've learned by helping other people read the Bible throughout the year?
00:06:22.000Just seeing the way God moves in their life and seeing how much more, how do you put it?
00:06:31.000How much more they are aware of how alive God's word is and how they're able to incorporate what they're learning in scripture into their life and vice versa.
00:06:45.000And the thing that I think is also really powerful is how people are able to spend their time in the morning or they carve out the time in their day where they can spend time with God, just them, one-on-one.
00:06:59.000And to know that I can be a part of that journey is extremely humbling.
00:07:04.000But they literally are able to sit down and say, you know what, for these 15 minutes, for these 20 minutes, I'm devoting it to God.
00:07:10.000And this is my time to just dig deeper into scripture.
00:07:44.000How much of scripture do we have memorized?
00:07:47.000And not even to the point where we just have like a few verses, but, and we've talked about this.
00:07:52.000How much of scripture do you have memorized to the point where you know where the commas are, the periods are, the pauses?
00:08:00.000It's that type of realization that you think to yourself, okay, we need to dig a little bit deeper.
00:08:07.000We need to really get into the word, not only just to obviously memorize it and the power of memorizing it, but also to be able to spread the gospel, to be able to be the salt and the light and just really be able to make a difference while we're here for this short amount of time that we're even alive.
00:08:32.000But did you find throughout the year people, you know, they grow in their faith and they want to read even more.
00:08:41.000And I mean, breaking it up over a year every day is really important, but it doesn't stop there where people have questions and, you know, talked a little bit about this.
00:08:51.000So the cool thing about this being a Bible in 365 community is that let's start it from this way.
00:08:58.000We've had people who were looking for churches because their church wasn't open in small towns in the middle of nowhere.
00:09:03.000We're able to see on our back end where that person's located and be able to say, okay, so are you looking for a church within this mile of radius?
00:09:12.000So we're able to then reach out to people within that same community and say, hey, would you be able to connect with XYZ to be able to share which churches are open, which ones that are in alignment with the gospel?
00:09:24.000So I think that's really beautiful is the connection part and the community part because we are made for community and we crave it right now, especially with everything that's gone on with COVID.
00:09:33.000When it comes to questions, I love when people reach out and either text or email questions about what's going on in the reading.
00:09:41.000We also are big on, obviously the number one resource is the Bible, but we're also really big on sharing other resources and different commentaries that are very helpful to understanding of digging deeper into the word.
00:09:52.000We incorporate that within the reading as well.
00:09:55.000But the thing that's amazing that I love is how many returning people come back every year.
00:10:00.000And that's the thing that's so powerful is they say, well, I did it last year, but now this year I invited my sister and my mom and my brother.
00:10:08.000And a lot of people are like, oh, is it mostly just women?
00:10:58.000And they're seeing their high school friends maybe going back home or they're seeing their grandkids and they're like, I gotta, I gotta fix something.
00:11:06.000This is a great New Year's resolution.
00:11:08.000But and it's so much more than that, too, because you're dealing with people's souls.
00:11:12.000You know, you want to be the reason why heaven is crowded.
00:11:16.000You want to be the reason why people know God or know of Jesus Christ and know what he's done in your life.
00:11:22.000And you want to be a part of that journey with people.
00:11:25.000And there is so much more to this world than the sinful ways of living that are easy to do out there.
00:11:32.000And there's something really powerful and beautiful in obedience to Christ and obedience to the Holy Spirit.
00:11:39.000And even too, how we've incorporated that in our life with the Sabbath, like honoring the Sabbath and seeing how that's going to be.
00:11:45.000So you could testify to the audience, I actually do it.
00:13:17.000And the only way to fight back is with God's word.
00:13:23.000The only way to understand and make sense of it is with God's word.
00:13:27.000And if you don't take time to literally quiet your mind from the noise that's inundating you from news articles to press releases to your friend doing something, your family members not allowing you to come to the holidays or whatever.
00:13:42.000It's really something that with the SAP, within alignment with the Sabbath and God's Word, for you to be able to just take a minute to just breathe, cut out the noise, and just be in alignment with the Spirit and know what's going on and what your role is in all of this.
00:15:03.000All of our threads and fabrics are organic, which is another thing, really making sure that we don't have any toxins in our clothing because your skin is the largest organ that absorbs everything that it touches.
00:15:31.000But the coolest part about all of this is that there's a give back mission attached to it.
00:15:35.000So the meaning behind a proclaimed streetwear is based off of Isaiah 61, verse 1, and then Luke 3.11.
00:15:44.000So Isaiah 61, proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
00:15:48.000And then Luke 3, 11, which talks about if you have two of a shirt, it says tunics, but if you have two items, give the second one away to someone in need.
00:15:58.000And so when you purchase a sweatshirt or a t-shirt or a pair of joggers or socks or whatever you purchase, there is an option for you to give back to someone in need that second item that is specifically made for an individual who is less fortunate and needs an item.
00:16:48.000Buy lion and the lamb from Proclaim Streetwear, and that supports it as well.
00:16:52.000And again, it's really cool to see how even just a piece of clothing can be an opening and a gateway for people to be able to talk about the gospel.
00:17:01.000Because someone could see the design on your sleeve and be like, hey, what does that say?
00:17:04.000And you're like, well, let me tell you.
00:17:19.000It's been a blessing to see the way God has started it.
00:17:22.000And originally, it started in Manhattan in 2018, but a few years prior than that is when I actually started Bible in 365.
00:17:29.000And I truly believe that if I did not start Bible in 365, I would not have had the moment for God to reveal to me my functional calling of Proclaimed Streetwear.
00:17:41.000Primary calling, spreading the gospel, the Great Commission.
00:17:47.000But my functional calling was definitely Proclaimed Streetwear.
00:17:50.000So in closing, I want to talk about a lot of the emails we get at freedom at charliekirk.com of people that ask questions and advice about dating advice and marriage.
00:18:03.000I don't know if we're ready to comment on marriage expert advice yet.
00:18:07.000That probably can come in the years to come, but it's awesome.
00:18:47.000I think there's also a point where young women have this unrealistic checklist that they feel like they have to hit every single point in order for this person to be perfect.
00:19:01.000And if they're not every single checkpoint of their own liking versus the desires that God has for them, then that person's totally disregarded.
00:19:13.000I think that women need to not, they need to literally prioritize their life in a way where you don't have to be partying every single night.
00:19:38.000A lot of the apps have totally changed.
00:19:40.000They're now inclusive to all different types of genders, all different types of backgrounds.
00:19:45.000They have a tendency to be more an alignment with hookup culture rather than the old school traditional e-harmony where it's like, I'm looking for the love of my life versus now it's like, hey, I'm in Atlanta and I need a drop-off girl.
00:19:59.000Like there's different, I feel as if there's different intentions behind the app.
00:21:27.000And I think also too, sometimes a lot of people do avoid the singles groups because there's a lot of pressure in people being like, hey, do you want to go grab coffee?
00:21:40.000But for women, I just really believe that we're in such, I mean, Instagram doesn't help at all.
00:21:48.000Social media doesn't help at all, but we're in such a culture where people want to have instant gratification and just trust me, swim in a stream of significance and just wait.
00:22:18.000I mean, no one wants to be, you know, past the age where they can't have children.
00:22:24.000Or, but at the same time, women too, you, you, if you're choosing to live in a city like New York City and have a nine-to-five career job that you're putting before a potential relationship and you're married to your work, that's a whole different story.
00:22:43.000So you, you kind of have to make the decision of, okay, what is more important here?
00:22:47.000What is more, what is the priority, right?
00:23:41.000It's the most single generation in American history, the least populated, meaning having less children than ever before, most suicidal, most depressed.
00:23:52.000And there's a lot of different contributing factors to that.
00:23:57.000And yeah, so people, from the male side, I could, you know, I summarized it kind of quickly, but yeah, I mean, you have to do something that has purpose and you have to dedicate yourself to that.
00:24:11.000And God is the best thing to dedicate yourself in that way.
00:24:16.000And there's just, there's just this kind of idea that, you know, I can have an immediately pleasurable life and then also find significance.
00:24:43.000And so just really spend 2022 getting your life in order in a way where you're prioritizing properly your time in the morning and be so efficient with your time.
00:24:54.000I think that's another thing that a lot of people totally disregard is even if you have to go to the point where you are time blocking on your calendar where you say from 6 a.m. to 6.15 a.m., I have my time with the Lord.
00:25:07.000And then from 6.15 to 6.30, I'm taking a shower.
00:25:12.000Like even if you have to be that regimented with your time, it's such a gift that we even have time here on earth.
00:25:19.000And so like really take that time to invest into certain things, not financially.
00:25:23.000I'm talking from mind, spirit, body, soul.
00:25:27.000Like really take the time to invest quality time into things that really matter.
00:27:43.000And just really think with your heart alongside your eyes and see with both pairs of eyes to really just be able to see what's really going on in the world and how you can fit within the puzzle pieces of the organized chaos of this world and how you can really be able to be a solution rather than continually to be adding to the problem or continually being a part of the statistics of TikTok or the statistics of Instagram.
00:28:13.000collecting your data, creating a second AI version of you.
00:28:18.000Like there's things and ways for you to be able to stand out.
00:28:25.000And we get a lot of messages from high school kids that are just so alone and propagandized.
00:28:30.000And that's the thing, too, even with the fact of community, just knowing that you have people within your circle.
00:28:37.000And even too with Turning Point, when you have, and we were just talking about this with the conferences, people can go to these things and feel so alone.
00:28:45.000And then all of a sudden they meet their new best friend that lives maybe across the country, but at least they're able to meet someone that they can say, hey, now I can, now I have someone to text when I'm feeling a little bit down and I need someone to go be alongside me.
