00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.900 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.740 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.860 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.380 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19.000 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29.980 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.320 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.420 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. A quote from C.S. Lewis. This is from The Horse and His Boy.
00:00:57.360 and it's quoting King Loon, who was the king of Archenland, which was an ally to Narnia.
00:01:06.600 It came in their defense. He's now instructing what a king should be.
00:01:13.800 For this is what it means to be a king, to be first in every desperate attack and last in every
00:01:21.800 desperate retreat and when there's hunger in the land as must be now and then in bad years
00:01:29.080 to be a king is to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man
00:01:37.900 in your land that's what it is to be a king first to attack last to retreat and in times of
00:01:47.360 Providence, when provisions are few, not to paint yourself up with dust and ashes like the Pharisees
00:01:56.720 did, choosing not to bathe. They wanted everyone to know that they were fasting, to look scrawny,
00:02:04.500 to look mournful. No, no, no. A king is in 2023 when they're mutilating children and murdering
00:02:11.500 them in the womb. A king takes it seriously. He's the first into battle, the last to retreat, 0.54
00:02:17.020 and though don't miss this as he's fighting he's laughing he's laughing
00:02:24.520 his kids are not afraid
00:02:28.460 the weight of the matter is in fact waiting but the kids don't know it i can't even remember the
00:02:37.960 the movie i want to say schindler's list maybe but i remember distinctly watching a movie when
00:02:42.900 i was younger with my parents i think it was black and white and it was about the holocaust
00:02:47.820 and it was about a father and his son in an internment camp and he's the whole time
00:02:56.360 like making it like a game to where they're in one of the most terrible scenarios you could imagine
00:03:03.480 and yet the child is having a decent time and even when he's being taken off at the end to the gas
00:03:11.980 chamber to Don. He hides his boy away. There's a little crack where the boy's able to see his
00:03:18.200 father, and his father's making a joke out of him and marching like this and smiling and winking at
00:03:24.020 his son. Because it's two things. One, he cares for the boy. There are certain things that our
00:03:33.940 children are not ready to carry. But two, it's not just pretending for the sake of the boy.
00:03:43.640 His pretending for the sake of the boy in the Christian reality is actually not pretending. 0.64
00:03:48.800 It's actually living into the truer reality. Because we are able to say, death, where is your 0.98
00:03:56.080 sting. We're able to actually laugh as we go to the gas chamber because Christ has won. His
00:04:07.160 victory is final. This world and all its pain and sin and rebellion against God is not the end of
00:04:14.940 the story. It's not. And so we raise our children to know the whole story. And the whole story
00:04:23.280 involves things that are sad,
00:04:26.640 truly, deeply sad.
00:04:31.080 But sadness is swallowed up in joy.
00:04:35.260 Though the sadness may last for the night,
00:04:38.020 the joy comes in the morning.
00:04:40.360 Darkness is swallowed up in light.
00:04:42.740 Death swallowed up in victory.
00:04:46.740 The truer truth is life,
00:04:51.500 not death.
00:04:53.280 light, not darkness. And so we're able, what that does is it doesn't cause you to be
00:05:00.220 a pietist disengaged. When we truly believe the truest end of the story, what it allows you to do
00:05:06.760 instead is it allows you to embrace honestly, with integrity, every ounce of the darkness
00:05:14.520 because you can bear it because the light outweighs it. The light is greater. It allows
00:05:22.900 you to be brutally honest with death because death pales in comparison to life and the final
00:05:31.580 end of the story is that death is swallowed up in life a king and we are all brothers and sisters
00:05:39.940 called to be a holy priesthood a kingdom of priests to live and reign with the son a christian king
00:05:48.880 is first to the fight, last in retreat, and laughing along the way.
00:05:57.500 Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end?
00:06:01.040 Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry,
00:06:04.160 and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:06:07.520 I cannot thank you enough.
00:06:10.080 However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it.
00:06:13.820 In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:06:16.900 Let's be honest. 0.95
00:06:17.820 We're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites 0.98
00:06:26.520 lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:06:34.020 cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:06:40.600 a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:06:47.480 grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:06:54.160 but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:07:00.820 take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:07:07.560 iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be
00:07:13.360 innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:07:20.320 and our podcast shows up for more people. And the word of God and courageous theology applied
00:07:28.140 in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
