The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - What’s Next For Right Response Ministries？

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03.960 I get it.

00:00:04.620 It's annoying.

00:00:05.380 Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07.660 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that

00:00:12.440 our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.

00:00:16.280 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries

00:00:20.820 aren't.

00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:30.000 we're back it is now monday december 15th and today is going to be our final episode for the

00:00:48.900 year for right response right response is continuing we're going to tell you guys some

00:00:53.440 of the vision and what you can expect and we have a lot of new things that are going to be unveiled

00:00:58.580 in the new year right after new year's day january 2nd will be a debut video and and then there will

00:01:08.780 be multiple other live streams following that up you're going to see a lot of new stuff but there

00:01:13.840 are questions to answer before we start answering the questions about what you know what's right

00:01:17.400 response going to do next year what are some of the new things coming out that you guys have

00:01:20.760 been hinting at for several months now and it has been several months i mean for the last six months

00:01:26.320 We've been doing a ton of stuff, and it's been really hard to keep a lot of it quiet and under wraps, but all preparing for the new year.

00:01:35.320 We have a lot of stuff that we're going to unveil, not just, oh, you know, by December of 2026.

00:01:41.260 No, in January, a ton of stuff will come out and be revealed all at once, and it is big and exciting.

00:01:50.680 And so we've got a lot of things to share.

00:01:53.520 We're going to share a lot of details in this episode today, but not everything.

00:01:58.120 A couple of things you will have to wait till January 2nd, which is not long.

00:02:03.280 You can enjoy your family, worship the Lord Jesus Christ, and have a Merry Christmas.

00:02:07.820 You'll be just fine.

00:02:08.440 Go offline for a week, Christmas to New Year's.

00:02:10.260 That is the best week of the year to go offline.

00:02:12.140 You're not going to miss anything.

00:02:13.540 It really is.

00:02:15.100 So let's walk down memory lane.

00:02:17.440 and um you know it all began with telling my wife she couldn't read a book

00:02:23.220 when i think of the origin story no it's i mean it began before that but uh but that was kind of

00:02:29.620 the first big controversy um but yeah right response ministries that the origin was just

00:02:37.740 having a sense like we all did right it wasn't unique or original or special you know there's

00:02:43.160 nothing special about me. But just all of us going through 2020, hell on earth, 2020 was such a dark

00:02:51.260 year. And it was followed by four very dark years. And so during that time, especially in 2020,

00:02:58.920 we just had a sense, I had a sense that I wanted to see theology, Christian theology from the

00:03:08.760 scripture applied. And I remember that was kind of the first basic premise was, you know, thinking

00:03:16.080 that just in the pulpit as a pastor, I was thinking, you know, a good sermon is comprised of at least

00:03:21.740 three primary elements. One, revelation, not standing before the people of God saying, I have

00:03:28.160 a dream or I have a church growth strategy or I have a plan or 13 steps to fix your marriage or

00:03:34.540 whatever it might be, a new seminar, a new book. No, when the minister stands before the people of

00:03:39.720 God on the Lord's day, he preaches a sermon and the sermon has three primary elements. The first

00:03:46.160 a revelation and the revelation is not a dream, not a plan, not a strategy. It's a text. I have

00:03:52.100 a text from the word of God. The revelation is not man's preference nor his devices or innovations,

00:04:00.020 but the god-breathed text it's the infallible word of god so preaching expositionally through

00:04:07.060 books of the bible is what by god's grace i've done for years now i've done it well by god's

00:04:12.920 grace i've done it poorly because of me and my own sin but i've been committed for several years to

00:04:19.260 standing before the people of god and preaching the bible i have a text revelation the next

00:04:24.260 interpretation um you know we have many followers many are reformed and protestant many are not

00:04:31.420 reformed and protestant many are catholic and they're not protestant at all and then there

00:04:36.220 are some who aren't even christian and they follow our channel they appreciate the political

00:04:39.840 analysis cultural analysis those things um but you have to humor me i am a reformed protestant

00:04:46.580 and so when it comes to reform protestant preaching i have a text that's what people

00:04:51.420 expect expositional preaching, exegesis reading out of the text, what God intends, not eisegesis

00:04:58.100 reading into the text, the opinions of man. So I have a text, Revelation. Second, interpretation,

00:05:04.940 meaning this is what God means by the text. R.C. Sproul famously said that when it comes to

00:05:12.340 interpretation of the text, I know that there's a lot of modern, you know, Protestant Bible studies,

00:05:16.660 many of them, let's be honest, are women's Bible studies, and they go around the room sitting in a

00:05:22.620 circle, sharing, and they'll read a Bible verse or two, or maybe a whole chapter or a paragraph,

00:05:28.280 and they'll go around the circle asking one another, you know, what does the text mean to you?

00:05:34.480 And the proper answer to that question, of course, is, you know, kind of like

00:05:37.880 the rock wrestler or something. It doesn't matter what it means to you. And it really doesn't.

00:05:43.740 I'm being silly, but truthfully, it doesn't matter what the text means to you.

00:05:48.240 It matters what it means to God.

00:05:49.720 What does God mean by his word?

00:05:52.200 What is God's meaning?

00:05:53.360 So faithful preaching, three elements.

00:05:55.840 First one, revelation.

00:05:57.060 Not I have a dream, I have a text.

00:05:59.420 Second, interpretation.

00:06:00.780 Not your interpretation, but what does God actually mean by this?

00:06:04.920 Not eisegesis, but exegesis, expositing the text.

00:06:09.340 And like I said, you have to humor me as a Reformed Protestant pastor.

00:06:13.740 Um, that's pretty much all preaching is within the reformed world. It stops at those first two

00:06:21.920 elements, revelation, interpretation, and never gets to the third. And so around, you know, a

00:06:26.720 little bit before 2018, 2019, but really solidified for me in 2020, seeing all the political problems,

00:06:33.540 problems with our government, problems in the culture, all these things. And I started realizing,

00:06:38.020 you know what, if all we do is revelation and interpretation in a 45 or 60-minute sermon,

00:06:45.580 whatever it is, at your Reformed Protestant church, then at the end of the day, if we're honest,

00:06:51.100 all the minister is providing is an audible commentary on the Lord's Day. It's a commentary,

00:06:56.900 but it's not a sermon because a sermon gives us something to do. It gives us something to do,

00:07:05.680 not something to do to merit the favor of God,

00:07:08.360 not something to do to earn salvation.

00:07:10.580 That's not what I'm saying.

00:07:12.360 But it does give us something to do in obedience

00:07:15.220 as a response of gratitude for the free gift of salvation

00:07:19.820 we've received by grace through faith in Christ. 1.00

00:07:24.600 I'm sorry, Protestants, 1.00

00:07:26.840 but you guys, you think that we get the gospel 1.00

00:07:32.180 and it's all by grace.

00:07:34.260 And yeah, it is. But some of you, you're heretics. You've gone way too far. You're no longer

00:07:40.560 cherishing and esteeming the gospel of free grace. You're antinomian. You're against law. You

00:07:46.720 actually hate God because you hate his very nature. The law of God, your hatred for the law of God

00:07:53.820 is a hatred of God's own essence. God is not God because he somehow has achieved a moral standard

00:08:01.240 outside of himself. The moral standard, the law of God, is a procession, a reflection of his own

00:08:09.400 divine holy nature. What God says is moral and true and right, it is immutable. The moral law

00:08:16.880 of God is immutable, unchanging, because the very nature of God is unchanging, and his law stems from

00:08:23.160 his nature. It stems from his nature. And so the law of God is good. Under the new covenant,

00:08:31.100 as New Testament Christians in the year of our Lord, 2025, we still should delight in God's law.

00:08:39.540 Do we delight in his grace and his gospel? Of course. But we love the law of God. We love the

00:08:45.940 law of God precisely because God loves the law of God. He loves his holy law. And we're not seeking

00:08:53.020 to obey his law so that he might love us. 1 John 4, 19 tells us we love because he first loved us.

00:09:01.880 So God is the great initiator. God is sovereign over man's salvation. God first loved us in Christ

00:09:08.260 while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us, right? Very rarely would anyone die for a good

00:09:14.920 man or a perfect man, a righteous man, though for a good man one might possibly dare to die.

00:09:20.300 but God demonstrated his love for us in this. While we were yet sinners in our worst state,

00:09:26.460 God sent Jesus to die for us. So God doesn't give us salvation through his son Jesus because

00:09:33.720 we loved him and obeyed. No, he saves us because we weren't obedient and we required saving. Man

00:09:42.000 contributes nothing to his salvation, but the sin which made it necessary. However,

00:09:49.200 good preaching still gives us something to do. We don't preach the gospel in an antinomian 0.78

00:09:58.540 fashion. We don't preach grace in a way that it makes it cheap grace, in a way that makes

00:10:05.940 that completely salvation is free, but there is a cost to discipleship. Jesus tells us this.

00:10:14.540 And if we somehow siphon away every element of the cost of discipleship, then we've ultimately

00:10:23.440 wound up with some other religion beside historic Christianity. So good preaching, again,

00:10:31.760 Revelation, not I have a dream, I have a strategy, I have a text.

00:10:35.680 It's the revelation that comes from God.

00:10:37.460 It's the Bible.

00:10:39.400 Interpretation, not your interpretation, not what does it mean to you.

00:10:43.120 No, what does the text mean to God?

00:10:45.120 Exegesis, not eisegesis.

00:10:47.320 And then last, third, application.

00:10:51.020 How then shall we live?

00:10:53.260 Tell me, what must I do?

00:10:54.860 not to be saved, but what must I do as a free response of gratitude for the salvation I've

00:11:03.880 already received? We love him because he first loved us, John 4.19. And then Jesus says to his

00:11:11.800 disciples, if you love me, you will obey my commandments. So God loves us first, the great

00:11:19.340 initiator. Step one, we are given new hearts. Ezekiel, the heart of stone is removed. The heart

00:11:27.540 of flesh is replaced. It's malleable and softened, spiritual eyes to see, spiritual ears to hear. If

00:11:33.540 any man be in Christ, he is a new creature in Christ Jesus, a new nature. So God loved us

00:11:40.000 salvifically through Christ, gives us new hearts and the gift of faith and repentance. We now love

00:11:45.900 him. And the very first question for a genuine Christian born again by the Spirit of God is,

00:11:51.980 God, I love you. I want to demonstrate my love for you. I want to show my love. How can I show

00:11:56.980 you my love? And Jesus very helpfully answers this question, if you love me, you'll obey me,

00:12:03.680 which means that the minister in his preaching must preach the commands of God, not as a means

00:12:10.360 of earning salvation, but as a response of obedience through gratitude for the salvation

00:12:16.680 that Christ has merited for us by his obedience. That is Protestant. That is Christian. That's not 0.81

00:12:26.040 a works-based righteousness, but anything less than that is an antinomian heresy. So that was

00:12:34.660 the development, the basic fundamental development in my theology as a Christian,

00:12:42.180 as a husband, as a father, and as a minister. I realized it's not enough to be this modern

00:12:49.620 reformed pastor who just gets up and provides for people a 45-minute audible commentary on

00:12:56.820 the Lord's Day and calls it a sermon. It's not. You look at John Knox, you look at John Calvin,

00:13:03.240 you look at Martin Luther, you look at all the Puritans. You can't read a book by the Puritans 0.99

00:13:08.780 without two-thirds of it, at least half, being application. So let's say in the first instance,

00:13:16.400 this text says, and the meaning and exegesis behind the text is, and of course, the application.

00:13:23.640 In the first instance, as it applies to the man as a husband with his wife, and as it applies for him

00:13:29.380 as a father and as it applies as a churchman and as it applies as a civil father in the city gates

00:13:35.400 sitting among the elders his influence in the town as it applies and being a cobbler or being a

00:13:40.480 blacksmith or being this or being that um the puritans were constantly giving application

00:13:45.780 constantly they weren't legalists they weren't making it a works-based righteousness but they

00:13:53.200 were saying that God, after having saved us, calls us to good works. So I realized that if I was

00:14:01.580 going to be faithful as a Christian, and of course, much less as a minister, I was going to have to

00:14:10.100 add that third piece, revelation, interpretation, and then application. And then I started thinking,

00:14:17.860 well, wait a second, does the Bible only apply to marriage and family? Because that's kind of how we

00:14:22.960 act a lot of times. A lot of Protestant churches, if there's any application at all, it's just

00:14:29.840 a marriage seminar, a parenting seminar. It's as though the Word of God and all the commands of

00:14:35.720 God and all the principles and precepts, they only apply in our homes. And how convenient,

00:14:41.180 because our homes are private. It doesn't require nearly as much grit, spine, courage.

00:14:48.440 that I started thinking, but doesn't the Bible kind of apply to not just marriage and family

00:14:54.780 and the home privately, but to public life? Does the word of God have something, anything to say

00:15:02.000 for not just husbands and fathers and wives and mothers, but to civil rulers and to CEOs of

00:15:10.420 corporations? Does it have something to say for the marketplace, for the public square,

00:15:15.100 for the government, for the arts, for all these different things? Is the Bible true or not? And

00:15:21.880 if it is true, why wouldn't it be true for everyone in every facet of life and human society?

00:15:29.220 And so I started preaching and applying the Word of God to government, to politics,

00:15:36.440 to culture. I started speaking to those things. And as I did, I just realized that

00:15:43.440 the people of god christians in america were famished starving for application they had gone to

00:15:53.700 a couple dozen of the five solas conferences reformed conferences by this point they had

00:16:02.800 gone to their you know their doctrines of grace conference annually every single year where their

00:16:09.040 reformed favorite celebrity ministers would kind of dress up and basically larp and pretend to

00:16:14.440 relive the reformation from 500 years ago and the reformation continues semper reformanda the

00:16:20.780 reformation in 2025 is probably even more necessary than it was at the time of luther you know and

00:16:27.320 tetzel and and we bought the calvin roasters coffee bag of course you were smoking the pipe

00:16:32.660 and growing out your beard and all that kind of stuff you know and and that's just kind of what

00:16:37.600 modern reform protestants let's just be honest that's what we did for like 20 years the last 20

00:16:43.860 years and i realized man these people and i'm one of them i represent we are starved for application

00:16:51.380 how do we live besides just growing out the beard and smoking a pipe and and drinking triple ipas

00:17:00.360 um and marriage and family god bless and going to you know seven conferences every year about

00:17:06.560 the five solos. It's great, but is there anything else? Is there any other application from the

00:17:13.340 word of God? Because we're doing this, but everything around us, the whole world, our whole

00:17:18.920 country is going to hell in a handbasket. It's not right. Something's broken. And so that's what

00:17:27.960 I did. I just started applying the word of God in my preaching. And like I said, it was evident

00:17:35.020 right away, immediately, that there was a deep, desperate need, that people had been starved for

00:17:42.600 this. They're like, what is this? What kind of preaching is this? Is this great? And of course,

00:17:47.820 people hated it and still hate it, but there also were many who loved it. And I started getting

00:17:54.920 phone calls and emails and with prayers for me and my family and encouragement. And Right Response

00:18:03.060 ministries just started taking off at first it was just kind of posting the sermons and maybe

00:18:07.040 one weekly podcast interviewing a different guest you know piping them in remotely and then we

00:18:12.260 started doing a live stream and that's when wes and michael hopped on um and that was at the

00:18:17.900 beginning of last year so we're coming up at the end of two years ago yeah right and then we started

00:18:22.500 doing the live stream more often to uh apply christian principles even even more regularly to

00:18:29.400 more current events and cultural phenomenons and political happenings. And that's kind of it,

00:18:38.140 you know, and along the way, controversy after controversy. So Joel won't let his wife read a

00:18:42.640 book. That one is interesting because, you know, people really ran with that one. They're like,

00:18:46.340 Joel makes his wife ask permission to use the restroom. They really kind of get that one

00:18:52.320 tangled up because I was talking about my children who at the time, my children were, I believe,

00:18:57.760 were like five years old, four years old,

00:19:02.320 three years old, and one, right?

00:19:05.200 And we're talking about the implication

00:19:07.620 was before bedtime, hey, did you go potty?

00:19:10.160 Let's go potty.

00:19:10.960 I was talking about how a husband and a father,

00:19:13.940 particularly a father in his home,

00:19:15.920 has far greater authority.

00:19:17.580 The scope of his authority is over far less people.

00:19:20.440 In my case, it was a handful of children.

00:19:23.000 Whereas a civil father, a ruler, right?

00:19:25.660 A politician has a much broader scope of authority in terms of the citizens, the subjects who are under his authority, but his authority is not nearly as deep.

00:19:35.100 It's depth, the degree of authority.

00:19:37.440 But people clipped it out.

00:19:39.040 Allie Beth Stuckey was one of them because what I was articulating was basic Christian historical patriarchy, which she hates.

00:19:47.340 because you can always count on someone

00:19:51.100 to not theologically understand something

00:19:53.800 when their livelihood depends on them not understanding it.

00:19:57.800 Yeah.

00:19:58.500 Right?

00:19:59.460 Here's the reality.

00:20:01.620 And this, unfortunately, is more damning.

00:20:06.500 But I'll say it like this. 0.94

00:20:08.020 Ali Bestaki is not dumb. 0.95

00:20:10.640 I wish she was 0.99

00:20:11.620 because then she'd have a much greater excuse

00:20:14.560 for her sake and for her soul. 0.61

00:20:17.340 i wish she was but she's actually not she's not dumb she's quite sharp um but but her she you know

00:20:27.680 she's a a girl with a dream after all i mean who are we to tell a little girl with a dream that

00:20:33.300 she can't be what she wants yeah she's got a dream you know and and yeah that dream is a walking

00:20:40.060 oxymoron a walking living breathing contradiction of i'm a conservative complementarian

00:20:47.260 wife and my husband is ultimately the head of my house and yet i'm on the conference circuit and

00:20:51.760 speaking to both men and women and instructing them in theology and blah blah blah so that was

00:20:56.980 the first controversy and i only reason i mentioned ali is because she clipped that portion of the

00:21:01.680 sermon the transcript and read it aloud on her podcast and caused a lot of a lot of backlash

00:21:08.800 and then other people picked it up and then and then it was off to the races and then it feels

00:21:14.260 like it was like, you know, every month something would get clipped out usually by others, not by

00:21:19.680 us. Uh, my greatest hits are usually not my choice. It's usually someone else chooses it for me and

00:21:26.000 it goes viral. And then it became like, you know, I feel like over the last year, year and a half,

00:21:30.080 it's like every week, um, world magazine just wrote an article, CNN reached out to me today.

00:21:36.280 Uh, Houston Chronicle just finished an article last week about me being a chauvinist. And, uh,

00:21:43.280 And that's only like maybe two and a half months

00:21:47.500 after a Houston Chronicle wrote their other article on me

00:21:52.400 about me being a racist.

00:21:53.720 And so the controversies have increased.

00:21:56.340 There's no question about that in regularity

00:21:59.380 and in their scope and visibility.

00:22:03.260 And so plenty of controversies along the way

00:22:05.240 that have boosted our digital footprint

00:22:07.480 and caused us to be hated by millions,

00:22:10.800 but beloved by thousands i wish the numbers were swapped but the lord ultimately decides that i

00:22:17.700 don't um and honestly it's worth it i i you know this is something i me and my wife talk about on

00:22:23.580 a regular basis and as a family you know we'll pray for god's favor and his protection from any

00:22:29.480 who would seek to do us harm and um but we've we've kind of my wife and i've agreed for you

00:22:35.720 know for quite a while now that um we don't want to be hated we're not trying to be hated but um

00:22:43.040 better to be hated by millions but the lord and his providence use that as a mechanism to be seen

00:22:50.720 by millions so that even if it's you know only a tenth of the number of people that

00:22:56.620 have an aversion towards you so hated by a million but a hundred thousand that would have

00:23:03.340 never seen you otherwise are now being engaged with your content and truly helped in their life

00:23:11.820 and their Christian walk and their vocation and their family. It's worth it. It's worth it. It is

00:23:18.660 worth every Houston Chronicle article is worth it for just one individual emailing me and saying,

00:23:26.520 you saved my marriage. It's easy now to think, oh, there's lots of guys out there doing great work.

00:23:32.100 But man, 2020 to 2021, COVID and then Black Lives Matter was another big one.

00:23:37.580 Nearly every big reformed pastor fell absolutely flat on his face as he tried to do any type of application of scripture.

00:23:44.240 I remember our pastor at the time up in New Jersey, he got up and related to George Floyd. 0.98

00:23:49.060 He said, if you're white, you need to sit down and shut up. 0.99

00:23:52.380 And that was the norm. 1.00

00:23:53.360 That was the average.

00:23:54.260 I mean, I'd have to say probably 95% of Protestant churches in America were closed, not just a couple weeks, but probably months on end, some of them over a year.

00:24:04.760 That was the norm.

00:24:05.700 There were so few people standing up and saying, Caesar doesn't have the right to shut down your church for months on end. 0.60

00:24:12.820 You don't actually have to submit to struggle sessions because you're white and feel guilty for things that you didn't do.

00:24:18.420 That was the landscape.

00:24:19.320 The things that are being said today now without being censored, they were not possible to have been said four years ago.

00:24:25.680 That's how much the Overton window has shifted.

00:24:28.000 And it's awesome.

00:24:28.980 But by God's grace, that's a short amount of time in which nothing could be said.

00:24:32.580 Nobody could broach the topic to where we're now openly discussing very, very important ideas.

00:24:37.560 And that's how far we've come in really a short amount of time.

00:24:39.720 I'll never forget.

00:24:40.800 It was summer 2020.

00:24:42.200 I was still in Southern California and hadn't moved to Texas yet.

00:24:45.660 We moved in December, the end of that year, 2020.

00:24:47.940 And I was preaching a sermon at the church there that I was one of the elders at.

00:24:54.920 And there was a line in the sermon. 0.75

00:24:57.680 And I remember thinking, this is going to be a banger.

00:25:01.900 This is going to preach.

00:25:02.960 This is good.

00:25:04.060 Not just it's going to be provocative, but it's true.

00:25:07.060 It's good.

00:25:08.280 And I remember saying in the wake of George Floyd, and it was just weeks, the turnaround

00:25:16.140 from George Floyd and his death

00:25:18.220 and this sermon that I was preaching,

00:25:19.540 I had a line where I said,

00:25:21.160 because it was about evangelism

00:25:22.700 and evangelizing the world

00:25:24.580 and every tribe and every nation. 1.00

00:25:26.100 I said, I don't know how to evangelize a black man 1.00

00:25:31.600 and tell him that he needs to worship 1.00

00:25:35.100 the Lord Jesus Christ and repent of his sin

00:25:38.020 while being on my knees, 0.99

00:25:41.020 worshiping that black man. 1.00

00:25:42.640 I don't know how to tell a black man 0.98

00:25:44.320 He needs to repent and worship Jesus while being on my knees, 0.94

00:25:49.160 repenting and worshiping him.

00:25:51.560 That's right. 1.00

00:25:52.480 So I don't know how to deify a black man and yet tell him that he's a sinner

00:25:56.760 in need of the true deity, the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:26:00.920 And I remember preaching that and seeing friends in the congregation,

00:26:05.460 white friends, going like this. 0.80

00:26:08.200 Uh-uh, stop, stop.

00:26:10.560 And there were some black people that were there that Sunday and they were kind of pointing at them from behind them saying, look, there's a black person here.

00:26:18.460 Stop saying that.

00:26:19.440 And I was like, and I remember like, and I tried not to get distracted and had to just keep preaching through it.

00:26:24.680 Try not to be distracted and lose my train of thought.

00:26:27.420 But I remember thinking like, you know, and I told, you know, I told a couple of them afterwards, but I remember thinking like, I'm not colorblind.

00:26:34.800 I know we're supposed to be.

00:26:35.620 I'm not colorblind.

00:26:36.280 I see the black person there.

00:26:37.800 so this point of my sermon is true whether there's a black person in the congregation today or not

00:26:43.000 and the fact that there are some black people here don't doesn't make this point any more true

00:26:49.360 but it makes the point all the more necessary to be made yeah so you're you're pointing saying

00:26:55.080 knock it off pastor and i'm and i'm like yeah i see who you're pointing at i feel like i should

00:26:59.980 say it again i feel like i should say it again because i love that black man who's here today

00:27:04.700 And I don't want him to be led astray by the heresy and false doctrine of George Floydism, King George, that black people are entitled and just eternal grievances, that everything is the white man's fault and only one part of the population actually has sin and needs to repent and needs a savior.

00:27:34.700 And I mean, it's a damning. What we did in 2020 for black people was essentially, if not for the grace of God, God ultimately is sovereign. But if it was just left to us, what we attempted to do, I think God has intervened for many black people, praise God.

00:27:51.980 but what we tried to do was damn every single black person to hell we essentially attempted 0.98

00:27:58.500 to preach a doctrine that says um white people are sinners need to repent and need a savior 1.00

00:28:05.320 and black people really don't they really don't which is the most unloving hateful message you 0.99

00:28:11.800 could ever give to someone ever and i remember being angry like angry at this this damnable 1.00

00:28:21.280 black worshiping doctrine being preached in christian churches and so yeah like by god's 0.97

00:28:29.880 grace between that or rejecting masks you know or rejecting the vax or i just we got a lot of heat

00:28:38.740 a lot of backlash and and the usual suspects you know they came in once the coast was clear

00:28:46.400 once you know they could put their finger up in the air and feel which direction the wind was

00:28:52.040 blowing once there was a little bit of of cultural you know shift then other people came out and oh

00:28:57.560 yeah it really is bad the government is overstepping its bounds and oh yeah you know

00:29:01.680 george floyd you know that we went way too far with that and but um but we we got backlash at

00:29:09.480 another level because we were early. We were early. Jesus says to the Jews during his earthly

00:29:20.280 ministry, was there ever a prophet that you didn't kill? And here's the deal. I've said it several 0.99

00:29:26.320 times, but I'll say it again because it's kind of a walk down memory lane. Some of the greatest hits

00:29:31.200 of right response over the years. I've always said of that concept of Jesus, you know, saying

00:29:36.580 your fathers killed the prophets but here you are building monuments tombs to their honor and you

00:29:44.060 you console yourselves and assure one another that like we wouldn't have killed jeremiah or

00:29:49.560 isaiah or such and such and so and so we never would have done that oh you know prior generations

00:29:55.220 yeah they i mean they killed every single prophet the lord ever sent them but we were different we

00:29:59.560 wouldn't have done that we recognize that they were sent by god that they were good men and

00:30:03.360 we're building tombs to their honor. Meanwhile, they're trying to kill Jesus. And spoiler alert, 0.97

00:30:07.800 if you've never read the Bible, they did, in fact, succeed. And they did kill Jesus. But Jesus is 0.54

00:30:14.280 pointing out their hypocrisy and saying, no, you're just as stiff-necked and just as rebellious and 0.97

00:30:19.760 just as hateful of God and his prophets, his servants, his word, as your fathers were. 0.95

00:30:26.220 so then why did they honor jeremiah after long after he's dead building but hate jesus because

00:30:34.660 here's the deal and this is the way that i've worded it over the years they don't kill the

00:30:40.040 prophets for being right they kill the prophets for being first they don't kill the prophets for

00:30:48.240 being right. They kill the prophets for being first. And that, I assure you from experience,

00:30:56.980 is a timeless principle that I have quickly learned over the years through the school of

00:31:03.540 hard knocks. Plenty of people can say plenty of things. In fact, even the same things. In fact,

00:31:12.760 even some of the same things in precisely the same way but six months later and be just

00:31:21.380 hoisted on shoulder top and seven day parades thrown in their honor and here's a check and

00:31:27.720 you get a check and come to this conference come to this tp usa event oh snap he's got a

00:31:33.420 speaker slot for you yeah yeah we've got this opening we've got this opportunity you get a

00:31:38.680 show on the blaze, you know? That's just kind of the way it goes. Jesus told us that, right? I mean,

00:31:46.740 it shouldn't be rocket science. And I'll be honest, to my own shame, I was surprised by this

00:31:52.380 experience. I shouldn't have been. My Lord and Savior told me in His Word, it's right there in

00:31:58.060 the Bible, this is a timeless principle. The prophets don't die for being right because

00:32:02.520 eventually people come around and everyone wants to be right. The prophets don't die for being

00:32:08.340 right. They die for being first. Any courageous man will eventually be honored once he's safely

00:32:15.720 buried under six feet of dirt. But courage, while it's living, is hated. Courage, once it's dead and

00:32:24.140 safely buried, is esteemed. But courage, while it's living, is hated. A dead prophet, praised.

00:32:31.420 a living prophet hate it that's the principle jesus tells us and i can tell you from personal

00:32:40.280 experience i'm no jesus not even close from the little bit that i've gotten right and the little

00:32:46.720 bit of courage by the grace of god that i've exerted over the years this principle is profoundly

00:32:54.280 true. And so out of all these things, right response just evolved and it developed. And

00:33:02.720 that application piece, because we could sense, I could tell that so many people, Christians,

00:33:10.460 Protestants, Catholics, even unbelievers were so starved to hear people apply, not just hypothesize,

00:33:18.940 not just principles, not just theory, but practice. They were so starved for it, we just did more and

00:33:27.000 more and more of it. So eventually we got to the point over this last couple of years, but especially

00:33:33.980 this year being the most recent, the year of our Lord 2025 is the best example. It's the freshest,

00:33:39.820 it's the most recent. And I would say by this point, up to date, it's been about five years,

00:33:45.700 this year, 2025, with right response, it's 80-20 in terms of percentage, 80-20 of application,

00:33:56.960 culture, politics, current event, and about 20% of the foundational theology, the principles.

00:34:08.740 And I guess what I'm building up to is, and we're going to go to a commercial break in just a

00:34:14.040 moment and then we'll give some more details of what's to come, specific details. We won't leave

00:34:18.440 you hanging. But what I've realized is we need both and I want to do both as much as I can. I'm

00:34:28.280 just one guy and I'm not even, there's other guys so much more gifted than I am. But I want to be

00:34:34.720 faithful with whatever opportunity the Lord's giving me and I've realized we really do need

00:34:38.500 both. We need theology, principle. We need application, practice. We need both. And

00:34:49.840 right response is kind of just, to be honest, it's just become a little bit more of,

00:34:57.200 you know, this is what happened today in the news. And that's what we're talking about.

00:35:01.860 And there's nothing wrong with that. We need that.

00:35:04.660 A lot of people have found it really, really helpful. Thank you for your guidance.

00:35:07.980 Really, really helped me understand, broke it down for me in a way that I got it.

00:35:12.300 Right.

00:35:13.140 And here's the thing.

00:35:14.000 It's like, but don't we have enough political pundits? 1.00

00:35:16.140 Not Christian ones, no. 0.88

00:35:18.540 Oh, we have Christians in media, right-wing. 0.99

00:35:23.360 Guys, let me just be honest with you.

00:35:24.420 My brother in Christ.

00:35:25.280 I won't name names, but let me just be honest with you.

00:35:28.300 You're a Christian, conservative, right-wing political pundit is doing cocaine.

00:35:37.020 Okay. 0.89

00:35:37.980 I'll just say it like that.

00:35:40.120 No, you don't have an abundance of genuine moral men

00:35:46.760 who are both courageous but also principled in media doing news shows.

00:35:55.300 You don't have an abundance of that, I assure you.

00:35:58.360 You have an abundance of grifters, yes. 1.00

00:36:02.680 You have an abundance of Christians in name only who really have courage 1.00

00:36:07.720 but do not have character or really have character at the private family level they're probably a 0.99

00:36:14.780 really sweet guy their wife very patient their wife probably adores them patient and kind and

00:36:22.800 polite but they're spineless right and they're just really kind of um exercising their gifts 0.82

00:36:30.820 of hospitality to communists hey come on in and take away my grandkids you know future we need to 0.53

00:36:38.880 listen to people we need to turn down the temperature yep turn down the temperature

00:36:42.540 just turn it down and listen have a dialogue correct so you have that so you have christians

00:36:48.980 who have character in some regard without courage or courage in much regard but without character

00:36:55.420 you actually do need some solid christians in media with the news culture politics current

00:37:04.760 events these things so there is a need there and theology applied applied to the the conversations

00:37:11.820 that everyone is having the the most relevant issues of our day some somebody's got to be

00:37:18.560 doing that and we're not the only ones right we don't want to have the elijah complex i'm the only

00:37:23.220 one left. And the Lord responds and says, I've reserved 7,000, a remnant, who have not bowed

00:37:29.060 their knee to Baal or the Asherah poles. They've remained faithful. So we're not the only ones, 0.90

00:37:34.560 but it is, and I think I can say this truthfully, few and far between. So we see, I guess what I'm

00:37:42.220 getting at is we see two needs, and we've realized over the course of this last year especially,

00:37:48.380 that these two distinct needs require two different tactics, two different ministries

00:37:56.400 of sorts, and we'll get to that in a moment, two different avenues, two different platforms,

00:38:02.160 because they're two different needs. We still need principle, theology, foundation,

00:38:08.940 theology in the church, and we need relevance, application, courage. This just happened in the

00:38:16.920 news. A Christian man is going to speak to it. We need both. And early on right response,

00:38:24.720 more theology, principle, kind of evolving right response, more application, practice.

00:38:34.920 And so what we want to do is we kind of want to get back to the start. We want to get back to the

00:38:40.700 origin. We want Right Response Ministries to focus more exclusively its attention on theology

00:38:47.360 and the church, equipping the saints, not just evangelistic for those who are maybe interested

00:38:53.620 in Christianity, but those who are already Christian. They love Jesus, and they want to be

00:39:00.980 equipped with the principles and the doctrine. That's what we want to do with Right Response.

00:39:06.980 and also we are starting something else because we also see the need for a broader audience

00:39:15.740 that is christian and protestant and catholic and even some unbelievers with the relevant topics of

00:39:24.180 the day culture politics and application and courage both so right response our goal is

00:39:32.500 to return as the kids would say theology in the church the principles the foundation

00:39:37.940 and then starting something new that will tell you about exactly what it is in this second

00:39:44.100 segment after the commercial break it's going to keep doing what right response has been doing

00:39:48.680 most recently namely application courage relevance culture and politics those kinds of things last

00:39:57.760 thing real quick here with Right Response. What you can expect from Right Response in the year

00:40:02.840 of our Lord, 2026, next year, beginning first week of January, is we're going to produce a couple of

00:40:10.640 podcasts each week. It's probably going to be two, but a couple of podcasts each week,

00:40:17.540 probably Tuesdays and Thursdays is what we're thinking, Tuesdays and Thursdays, not a live

00:40:24.640 stream, not doing a bunch of Q&A, not hitting the news cycle, not current events, principles,

00:40:32.660 timeless doctrines that equip the saints, that they can take those tools and then apply it as

00:40:39.140 they live their lives with everything that the Lord throws their way providentially.

00:40:44.180 And in addition to a couple podcasts, also doing a few articles every single week. So you're going

00:40:51.600 to have a Tuesday and Thursday show, principle, doctrine, theology, the church. And then you're

00:40:59.160 going to have a few articles in that same vein every single week with right response. And then

00:41:06.500 a whole lot of other stuff with a new organization that we will name and tell you exactly what you

00:47:44.200 we have a fairly large team. We've been assembling this group and building this media company

00:48:20.980 motion graphics and design and logos and all these things that will make right response and

00:48:27.880 what we've done so far although lord knows we've done our best and i think we've done well

00:48:31.660 but right response in previous years will pale in comparison to what you will see with nxr

00:48:37.720 just next month it won't be this studio with like some new colored bulbs correct that's safe to say

00:48:43.520 this studio will be the studio continued for right response um for nxr we have a new media

00:48:51.900 company nxr studios three live streams probably five six seven articles almost daily uh with

00:48:59.600 writing sub stack then we also have not just one but two new studios that are beautiful

00:49:42.000 that slip of the tongue i did not say a new special episode i did in fact say a series

00:49:50.580 a 10 part series 10 episodes average of hour long for each of those episodes

00:50:00.260 and not just with us but with a special guest covering all the most important topics in our

00:50:08.720 world today with expertise with clarity of thought um it's not just going to be

00:50:18.500 you know the the reformed women of both sexes like did you see um no the world will talk about

00:50:27.380 it it will be big it will be big that's not all new media company three live streams a 10-part

00:50:37.080 special series a sub stack with five six seven articles weekly not one but two new studios and

00:50:45.720 a new book not a book like i've written in the past i'm not the best writer i do my best

00:50:53.760 but this is not a glorified pamphlet like the book that's sitting on the coffee table here

00:50:59.360 it's a good book but it's simple it's small it's about 100 pages in length uh no this is um

00:51:05.840 this is what you would call a door stopper this is a uh 250 260 page book thoroughly footnoted

00:51:13.780 lots of citation lots of um academic rigor which means as you could probably guess

00:51:23.600 Joel did not write this book alone. Correct. Joel did not write this alone. Um, I am one of the

00:51:29.940 writers and I was involved in the process and vision for it and these kinds of things, but I

00:51:34.940 decided to have a coauthor and you will see who that is when we release the book, which will be

00:51:40.580 January 2nd, this new 10 part series, January 2nd, the unveiling of NXR as a company, NXR studios,

00:51:48.520 and to see the physical studios themselves january 2nd the sub stack starting to roll out january

00:51:54.940 2nd the book debut january 2nd what is the book about joel you'll see january 2nd what's the title

00:52:04.300 you'll see who's your co-author you'll see uh but the book will make a splash it is not just

00:52:10.720 oh there's another book on the five solas the five solas parenting you know um

00:52:18.340 No, it's a book on the very topic that everyone is talking about.

00:52:26.580 Uncovering the history, citing the sources, getting into the doctrine and the theology and the foundation.

00:52:36.960 The kind of book that will resource.

00:52:39.540 I believe it's going to sell. 1.00

00:52:41.200 And I don't like to talk things up because you set yourself up to look stupid. 0.99

00:52:46.900 but I'm going to in this case. It will sell. I believe that thousands of people will buy this 0.99

00:52:54.160 book. They will buy it the moment that it debuts, and it is going by the grace of God and his grace

00:53:01.620 alone to be a quintessential resource for winning the war, a spiritual and civilizational war that

00:53:11.220 we are up against in our present day it's going to be resourcing and equipping

00:53:18.160 soldiers for the fight so that they have the arguments they have the knowledge

00:53:26.040 they can compel they can persuade they have the history they know what actually happened and how

00:53:33.840 we were hijacked how we were hoodwinked it's going to be phenomenal this book and this

00:53:40.940 10-part series together with the substack and the three live streams um and nxr studios and the high

00:53:51.300 production excellence i can't even can't even put it into words you will see um is i think it's gonna

00:54:00.120 be uh it's gonna be a big deal i think it is i think a lot of people not just christians even

00:54:06.800 but a lot of people will be talking about it.

00:54:10.100 And we've raised investments.

00:54:15.820 We've clocked in hours and hours and hours,

00:54:19.780 and we're about to throw our first serious punch.

00:54:23.900 You think that we've been punching?

00:54:26.360 You think that we've been on the offense all these years?

00:54:34.240 Yeah, that's true.

00:54:34.980 uh but not like this we're um we're about to to put it into overdrive um significantly

00:54:46.000 and i'm excited i think that the lord has um has blessed us i believe that it is his will

00:54:54.520 and that we have his blessing and i think it's going to be significant and by god's grace we're

00:55:00.820 going to do all of it in xr studios culture and politics and live streams and hitting things

00:55:07.720 striking when the iron is hot we're going to start publishing books with our first book which will

00:55:12.920 be a banger debut and special series with big notable guests who are in person in the studio

00:55:19.660 on the quintessential topics of the day and multiple articles every single week all of it

00:55:26.880 and we have found a way and you might say there's no way we have found a way by the grace of God

00:55:33.660 to be able to do all that and for right response to continue Tuesdays and Thursdays two pre-recorded

00:55:42.240 episodes the principles the foundation the doctrine theology in the church and a couple

00:55:48.420 articles each week and for that um to serve those who already are christians and want more theology

00:55:57.280 while we also can reach over here with nxr studios a broader audience in a way that helps

00:56:03.920 politically culturally religiously and also my prayer is that it would be evangelistic and that

00:56:10.000 some people who would be on the edge and say i like the politics i like the culture that we can

00:56:14.580 say, yeah, all of that. And you don't get it without Jesus. Christ is king. Say Christ is

00:56:23.260 Lord. Christ is king. Christless conservatism is broke. It's dead. It doesn't work. We don't need

00:56:32.140 conservative, Christless conservative pundits as sodomites marrying another man and then purchasing 0.98

00:56:38.540 two little boys on the market. We don't need that conservatism. Keep it. Who needs liberals? 0.97

00:56:44.720 Who needs progressives when we have conservatives like that? I truly believe that NXR not only will

00:56:53.380 be formidable politically and culturally, but I believe by the grace of God, it'll be formidable

00:56:59.120 evangelistically. I think that many, by God's grace and by his grace alone,

00:57:05.680 will come to saving faith in jesus every good and perfect gift it doesn't just suspend in mid-air

00:57:13.100 it comes down from the father of lights there is a source to everything that is good and true and

00:57:18.820 beautiful in this world and it's christ it's christ it's not enough to just oh western

00:57:25.720 civilization or oh my european descent or these things matter natural affections matter i want to 0.57

00:57:32.680 save the west white people are going extinct my kids are white i want to save white people 0.55

00:57:37.840 and i'm unashamed about it i recognize race as a real category and you can have all of it 0.98

00:57:44.340 but if you don't have all of it and christ

00:57:47.900 what does it profit a man if he gained the whole world but forfeit his soul

00:57:53.620 it's got to be jesus guys it's the basics it's everything we believe it's everything

00:58:02.580 we believe we're not interested in a utopia here on earth for 85 years and then dying and going to

00:58:08.380 hell people need christ they need christ and right now all we have is people who preach christ 0.99

00:58:15.280 but they're retarded and colorblind what is race race is just a social construct it doesn't even 0.98

00:58:23.200 exist and you know what if america becomes you know completely indian and brown over the next 0.98

00:58:28.820 50 years and it's no longer white and then who really cares as long as it's christian are they 0.59

00:58:33.400 christian brown immigrants you know then that's you got that plenty of that and then you also 0.98

00:58:41.560 have guys who get it they understand the times but guess what they're not really that interested 0.99

00:58:45.720 in jesus let's be honest they understand the dire straits that western civilization is in they 0.76

00:58:51.540 understand that race is a real category they understand the flood of immigration and it takes

00:58:55.980 political will if we're going to be able to save our country. They understand the friend-enemy

00:59:00.860 distinction. They understand all these things, but they don't really have passion and zeal for Jesus.

00:59:08.960 And we need both. And that Venn diagram, those two circles, if it overlaps at all,

00:59:15.020 it is a thin sliver with like like five people in the whole world that operate within that slip

00:59:26.520 really has to be jesus christ is king not just as a slur to tick off a jew but i mean it he's

00:59:35.040 king jesus every knee will bow every tongue confess that christ jesus is lord your knees

00:59:40.740 will bow by grace through conversion salvation or your knees will bow because he who rules the

00:59:47.660 heavens and the earth will bust your kneecaps with an iron scepter and make them bow on the final day

00:59:53.020 christ is king that plus plus everything else knowing the times reading a little bit of history

01:00:03.140 books right the person who understands like violence is never the answer and then reads

01:00:08.320 one history book and violence is kind of always the answer but lord help us is there a way to do

01:00:13.280 it without violence and what kind of political will must be exercised and and what's really on

01:00:19.160 the line and these natural order natural categories how do we defend these and at egalitarianism is a

01:00:26.920 lie liberalism is a lie hierarchy is inescapable it's inevitable it is a natural good that you've

01:00:34.360 created for your glory? And how can we uphold these things and Christ is King? I'm not interested

01:00:42.520 in Christless ethno-nationalism. I'm not interested in whiteness without Jesus. 0.76

01:00:54.840 I'm also not interested in superfluous cliches about love for Jesus without any appreciation

01:01:07.120 or defense for kin and family and country and heritage.

01:01:14.780 Neither of these work.

01:01:16.400 and by god's grace we're committed to operating in that small space that exists

01:01:23.280 in both of those worlds not compromising on either side of the equation it's a tall

01:01:32.920 task and we believe that to do it well we need to so that one the tail doesn't wag the dog so that

01:01:41.580 one doesn't eclipse the other, we need to bifurcate. We need to distinguish. And we need

01:01:48.420 to give everything we have with right response and its mission and NXR Studios, New Christian

01:01:54.960 Right, and its mission. And I think if I could be so bold over months and months now in preparation

01:02:06.420 and lots of time, lots of capital, I think we might have a solution. I think that by God's

01:02:16.260 grace, what you'll see in January, just a couple of weeks from now, in the year of our Lord,

01:02:22.420 2026, is that this lofty goal God has graciously empowered us to achieve. And I, for one,

01:02:32.820 am incredibly excited and you should too one more practical piece then i'll give it to wes

01:02:39.360 and we'll take some super chats one more practical piece okay where will i be able to find on the

01:02:47.120 world wide web on the internet where will i be able to find nxr studios well the answer to that

01:02:53.300 question is that you're asking the wrong question because actually what you will soon find out is

01:02:59.920 you'll be asking the question, where can I find Right Response? So what we've decided to do as a

01:03:05.780 board, unanimous votes with Right Response Ministries, is to not just hand over everything

01:03:11.760 that's been done legally and ethically, but to sell at fair market value the assets of Right

01:03:22.080 Response Ministries as a 501c3 organization, assets being the social media pages. Three,

01:03:28.600 primarily the the youtube the uh apple and the spotify so for podcast apple and spotify and

01:03:35.660 youtube to sell these three social media pages to nxr studios and so what we did to do it by the

01:03:44.260 book is we hired a third party uh professional evaluator who is approved by the irs getting our

01:03:51.940 ducks in a row one of our goals is to not go to prison and uh and he gave us the price and took

01:03:58.100 time to do it and got other eyes on it to get it confirmed. And we voted on that. I recused myself

01:04:06.360 because I'm involved in both organizations, but the Board of Right Response Ministries voted on

01:04:11.660 that sale of the assets, YouTube and Apple and Spotify. And that passed unanimously. And we took

01:04:18.160 the bill of sale and we went and got it notarized and all those things and signed it over. And so

01:04:23.200 what you're going to see effective immediately at the end of this live stream is we're going to

01:04:26.940 spend the last couple weeks of this year. This is our last live stream of the year, our last

01:04:31.920 broadcast. You'll see for the next couple weeks, going through the holidays as we lead up, getting

01:04:36.580 prepared for January, you will see the YouTube channel, Right Response Ministries, begin to

01:04:42.040 convert over to NXR Studios. And you'll also see on Apple and Spotify the same thing. Right Response

01:04:50.380 Ministries on Apple and Spotify converting over to NXR Studios. And so NXR will operate on these

01:04:59.820 channels that you're watching us from right here. And Right Response Ministries will not have those

01:05:06.100 channels anymore, but it will have capital because NXR Studios, for a great price, is purchasing

01:05:15.040 those assets. A great price meaning a high price, a fairly uncomfortably large number. And so NXR

01:05:23.660 is purchasing that. And so Right Response now has financial runway to operate, which is why the

01:05:29.880 board thought that it was fiscally an ethical and wise decision. And NXR will use some of its

01:05:37.040 platform and notoriety to draw attention from time to time to Right Response Ministries, which is,

01:05:43.720 I think if you're going to go one direction or the other, that's the better way to do it.

01:05:48.220 The LLC, giving credence to the nonprofit rather than using a nonprofit to give credence to an LLC.

01:05:56.100 So we've thought this through, doing this the most ethical way, not just most strategic or efficient or effective, but ethical way.

01:06:05.240 The way that we think is legal, but most importantly, honors Christ.

01:06:09.500 so nxr will use some of its status in the new year to draw attention to right response ministries

01:06:16.700 and right response ministries because it sold these assets now has capital and we'll be able

01:06:21.920 to use that as runway and build new social media platforms and so all that being said where do i

01:06:28.280 find nxr next year here this youtube page right this this x account this apple or spotify that

01:06:38.620 you're listening to um will be in xr and with right response we will start new pages and we

01:06:46.380 will alert people hey on youtube search for blank blank blank for right responses new youtube page

01:06:54.580 or blank blank blank on twitter on x for the new x page or apple spotify and we'll notify a few

01:07:02.400 times over the course of this next year with nxr to help kind of kickstart and boost the new pages

01:07:08.360 for right response ministries that will now be more distinct and exclusively devoted to theology

01:07:14.040 and the church so all of you who are interested in that kind of getting back to our original

01:07:19.640 mission theology and the church the foundation and you're like man that's that's my favorite

01:07:25.320 thing about what you guys have done and i'm really looking forward to that then you're going to want

01:07:29.620 to stay tuned in to nxr at least long enough to go find those pages and join subscribe on apple

01:07:36.120 subscribe on on on spotify and youtube etc so everything's starting first week of january both

01:07:43.960 right response it's new pages and getting back to its old mission new social media pages old

01:07:50.220 mission those podcasts those articles starting first week of january nxr its mission politics

01:07:57.320 and culture and relevance and courage these kinds of things with its live streams and 10-part

01:08:02.900 special series and new book debut and sub stack and articles and in the two new studios that

01:08:08.560 you'll see unveiled all that also first week of january we'll be starting in terms of where to

01:08:13.580 find an xr you find it here these right response social media pages will be an xr where do you

01:08:20.840 find right response those pages are being created as we speak i've even seen in the chat a couple

01:08:26.580 people saying the the x account for a right response all of a sudden only has two followers

01:08:31.840 um that's not a mistake it's uh we just started that today it'll have to build like anything has

01:08:39.040 to build and and it's okay because what we can do is occasionally there's an episode with right

01:08:45.700 response ministries um and we can just take the the nxr you know account and and boost it um as

01:08:55.540 people are finding right response its own distinct pages and subscribing so that's some of the

01:09:02.660 practical and so that account then with 75 000 followers is now just at joel webin on x so that

01:09:08.480 account didn't it's like all right we're wiping the slate starting it new that account is now

01:09:12.140 joel webin that's where you can find everything that you do right so the main x account that was

01:09:17.080 right response is now at joel webin yep and you'll see all the nxr stuff on twitter posted from there

01:09:22.780 and nxr also might start a couple other accounts um and right response will start an account but

01:09:28.500 you'll see the main account at joel webin posting both nxr and right response content yep yep and

01:09:34.260 then if you're a subscriber on the patreon for right response that's still going to offer

01:09:37.660 benefits to you so totally understand if you're you're more in it for the culture for the news

01:09:42.480 and roll say at the beginning of the year um everything that that subscription whether it be

01:09:47.140 a patreon or supercast with nxr what that gets you so no harm no foul if you're going to switch

01:09:51.700 right over but if you're here for the theology and the content um it's going to be i think early

01:09:56.140 and ad free on the right response side of things so the content that we put out there's still a

01:09:59.820 reason for one it's just supporting us and we appreciate it and we appreciate your generosity

01:10:03.900 but two we still are committed to those that are subscribed to our patreon and right response

01:10:07.880 we're going to keep that up we're going to be there we're going to be putting content out on

01:10:11.240 it so as far as youtube x apple spotify those become nxr the patreon will not we will still

01:10:17.960 continue to offer value for those of you that have supported us there for a long time the patreon

01:10:21.600 will stay as right response meaning the the old mission returning related to theology in the

01:10:28.120 church and there will be certain perks and benefits with remaining subscribe to that

01:10:33.600 patreon to get right response early access ad free kind of content related to theology in the church

01:10:39.260 there will be a new patreon for nxr and that will be like this new special series and getting

01:10:46.060 you know ad free early access to binge watch all 10 parts instead of waiting weekly for them to

01:10:51.760 come out things like that yep and some people ask that will this 10 part series be on youtube

01:10:55.980 yes yes here this series will be um and we made that decision very early on we first decided to

01:11:03.220 do it uh that we're not going to indefinitely paywall something uh it's too important we

01:11:10.520 believe that the public has an interest in it and a right to it so all 10 episodes of this series

01:11:17.380 will be made publicly available um we're not going to sandbag we're not going to reserve

01:11:22.440 and nickel and dime people but we're not going to drop all 10 episodes at the same time we think

01:11:29.140 that's just silly so what we're going to do is we're going to drop each episode each of the 10

01:11:34.880 episodes, one per week, and it's going to be on Wednesdays. But we will have available more

01:11:43.760 uncut, less produced, a little bit more raw, all 10 episodes available right away without ads

01:11:58.340 and more uncut less produced uh to get all 10 episodes immediately for subscribers so we're

01:12:05.940 going to have that option you'll hear about it hey if you want to subscribe and you you're really

01:12:10.680 excited about the eighth episode on this particular topic and i can see the title you know

01:12:15.100 um or the the ninth episode and i don't want to wait eight weeks you know nine weeks i don't want

01:12:20.760 to wait over the course of two and a half months you know for all 10 episodes to come out they will

01:12:25.000 come out to the public for free but if you want them ad free and you want them early access right

01:12:33.760 away all 10 parts um and and i think some of you will because i wouldn't want to wait some of these

01:12:40.500 episodes are just incredible and people will be talking about it and the thing that you know

01:12:45.180 everyone will be talking about you know six weeks from now five weeks from now um for you to be able

01:12:50.280 to get a head start i think is appealing and so we're going to make that option available but that

01:12:54.920 will be um a subscription yep so all right that's everything that's everything at least for now

01:13:01.400 yep so let's go to our last commercial break we'll come back because we've seen some super

01:15:40.220 in the chat uh the whole time that we were kind of laying out the vision and our reasoning and

01:15:45.240 motivation and the mission that we want to achieve um i mean like 95 of the chat was just

01:15:51.860 positive yeah encouraging um and that means a lot to us and some are excited for right response

01:15:58.280 they're like right this is my favorite content like good we're getting back here and then others

01:16:02.040 are like oh cool like so because it's kind of like what right response has evolved into

01:16:06.500 basically nxr is like nah we're just going to go all the way we're going to go even further

01:16:10.860 after careful consideration we've decided to become worse and then for guys like oh yeah but

01:16:15.220 i missed the like it's like yeah and we're also pulling i didn't sign up for palantir i signed

01:16:19.360 up for theology exactly and it's kind of been like you know it just it feels like this last

01:16:24.080 year we've just been kind of doing the splits you know what i mean it's just like we're doing the

01:16:27.560 splits and and we're realizing they're just not um it's just both matter both are ethical both

01:16:35.360 have virtue we believe both please the lord but they're just not the same thing and so we've

01:16:41.200 realized we want to do both but we can't do both from the same organization in the same live stream

01:16:46.460 at the same time it's it's um it's just two different missions and so um so i feel like it's

01:16:52.560 the best of both worlds it's like so the guys are like dude joel just just go you know it's like

01:16:57.760 nxr like i'm telling you you're gonna as soon as it comes on you see like even just the countdown

01:17:02.780 and the stinger we have a countdown finally many have been asking you see you see this countdown

01:17:07.780 you're gonna be like oh babe wake up let's go they're doing it get the kids gather them around

01:17:15.620 cosmic treason is gonna lose his mind he's gonna be so so so the guys are like guys just

01:17:22.400 go all the way nxr is going to be us going all the way you might even we might even get a few

01:17:28.780 comments like okay maybe not that far pull it back come back uh but then other guys are like

01:17:32.740 yeah man i i like what you're doing but man i miss this because this has value to theology the

01:17:38.200 church the foundation the principles the basics um that's the beauty is like we're we're gonna do

01:17:45.220 the by god's grace the best of both worlds yep and i think it's gonna be awesome and the chat

01:17:49.240 also asked where did you get that awesome quarters up so the answer of course for me is i have no

01:17:53.940 idea where any article of my clothing comes from um but the beauty is that during the commercial

01:17:59.300 break uh west came over and checked the tag careful careful because we can get another

01:18:03.240 jokes here the tag was way up here very appropriate position for another man to check

01:18:10.320 um and we'll just leave it says weatherproof vintage which is its own brand but also typically

01:18:15.780 sold at costco yep and that checks out because my wife gets all my clothes for me i i don't buy

01:18:22.520 hang on hang on i help get you some suits sometimes that's true west so if he looks good in a suit

01:18:26.820 west yeah west gets me some some suit if he's wearing a hoodie and and my wife gets me clothes

01:18:32.560 and uh and as soon as you said i think it's from costco knowing that my wife got it from me

01:18:37.500 so it's like my wife would she go to costco yes she would and purchase clothes for me that sounds

01:18:43.100 about right. That sounds right. Yep. Okay. First Super Chat comes from Tennessee Conductor. $20.

01:20:28.640 chat and said thanks for the follow last night um at reformed regime is his handle i think it would

01:20:36.440 be a banger if you were on joe rogan that would be amazing joe rogan oh well that's that's so

01:20:42.820 crazy you know what he's here in austin i didn't even realize the only reason i haven't been on

01:20:46.900 joe rogan is i just didn't think you know so like i mean i've i've got him on speed dial i'll just

01:20:52.340 give joe a call give him a call just give him why did we think of that that's crazy yeah so we'll

01:20:58.800 give joe a call i'm sure i'll probably be on there next week uh no we appreciate the super chat very

01:21:04.300 kind yeah we're not picking on not picking on you i know you know we're picking on ourselves

01:21:08.100 because it's probably what once a week that we're like dude is there any way we could get on joe

01:21:14.660 so we're not picking on you do we know anyone who knows we're picking on our shameless selves

01:21:20.040 and thinking yeah uh you want me to go on joe rogan um i know someone else who wants me to go

01:21:25.780 on joe rogan it's me me of course i know him he's me so uh maybe maybe god will do it pray

01:21:33.080 if it's god's will it'll happen all right next uh hhs 9045 what's the status on your classical

01:21:40.380 christian school uh good question painful question to be honest yeah it's a good question though

01:21:47.060 um so we started the process got pretty far had good bit of interest and then just honestly we

01:21:57.000 just we just got to the point where we had a few key people that um that we were doing stuff with

01:22:02.840 and had differences in vision and uh and we just realized you know what um we could try to make it

01:22:10.480 work you know but it's it's just it doesn't feel wise at this time so we put those plans on hold

01:22:16.380 committed them to the lord um and and the reason why is like i'm telling you guys about you know

01:22:21.060 right response and nxr and obviously there's a lot of stuff going on there but in addition to that

01:22:25.220 our church and this is a huge answer to prayer i don't always share a lot about the church because

01:22:29.500 honestly, I'm just trying to be wise and careful. The flock comes first. And the reason why it

01:22:35.900 doesn't always seem to be prioritized in my rhetoric is actually by intention, absolutely

01:22:41.240 by design, because I want to protect our local church. That is, aside from my family, my chief

01:22:48.840 ministry is my local church. And I have to be careful. It's the same thing with my family.

01:22:55.620 like one of the critiques that i get uh fairly often is they'll say like joel you know he just

01:23:01.920 he just wants to be a big deal he's just platform building you know like i never see you know i

01:23:06.660 never see his wife i never see his kids you know or i don't see a lot from his church and uh yeah

01:23:12.200 there's a reason from that uh for that and and the reason is uh for those of you critiquing me for 0.95

01:23:16.820 those things in your case the reason is uh because of you you're terrible people you're a terrible 0.97

01:23:23.340 human being. And if I involve my wife or involve my kids or involve my church, people like you 0.98

01:23:30.940 will torment them. You'll show up and you'll protest at our church. I've had people show up

01:23:36.760 and protest at my house and I'm not going to do it. And I don't care. You can criticize me all

01:23:41.760 you want. All you want. Please send me another email. Please, Houston Chronicle, write another

01:23:47.700 article. No, don't leave a voicemail. Oh no, oh no. Yeah, you guys can criticize me all you want,

01:23:53.640 but what I'm not going to do is I'm not going to hide, as a grown Christian man, I'm not going to

01:24:00.500 hide behind my wife and children and my local flock that I pastor and use them as a shield.

01:24:06.960 And I'll be honest, that is what a lot of ministers do, even good ministers that I agree with in many

01:24:13.280 regards in order to make themselves in the public optic appear more palatable and therefore garner

01:24:21.200 less criticism they have pictures with their kids oh he can't be that bad look look how cute his kids

01:24:28.360 are pictures with their wives but there are sinister people out in the world that that tactic

01:24:33.760 does not work for and all you ultimately have achieved is for those monsters out in the world

01:24:40.380 is you've just given them a visual of your family,

01:24:43.580 a visual of your congregants,

01:24:45.820 a visual of your church and its address

01:24:48.880 and this, that, and the other.

01:24:50.400 You've just painted a target.

01:24:52.120 In an attempt to shield yourself,

01:24:54.780 you've used your family and your flock

01:24:57.480 precisely as what a shield is,

01:25:00.140 namely the arrows now hit the shield.

01:25:02.280 It hits them, and I won't do it.

01:25:06.060 I'm just simply not going to do it.

01:25:08.260 So that's why I don't talk about my family

01:25:10.280 a whole lot. And I don't show you a bunch of pictures. And that's why I don't talk about the

01:25:16.440 local church that I minister to. It's not because it's not a priority. It's not because it doesn't

01:25:21.080 get the majority of my time. It's not because it's not where my heart is. It's because we live

01:25:26.900 in a world filled with monsters and me appearing more palatable with my public brand by showcasing

01:25:35.360 my family and my church is not worth endangering and jeopardizing my family and my church.

01:25:41.020 So I actually am loving my family and church more than myself by not talking about them

01:25:48.800 and not showcasing them. And I hope that maybe a few other ministers might hear this and heed

01:25:55.820 that counsel and apply it themselves. That said, in terms of our church, one thing that I will say

01:26:02.220 is that it's been a very busy year

01:26:05.240 because we, by the grace of God,

01:26:07.680 just got our own building,

01:26:09.520 which is a massive answer to prayer,

01:26:12.460 massive answer to prayer.

01:26:13.880 Literally massive and also a massive answer to prayer.

01:26:16.840 Yeah, it's a massive building

01:26:17.100 and a massive answer to prayer.

01:26:19.380 And the church has grown

01:26:21.380 and the building is awesome.

01:26:24.220 And one of the biggest things,

01:26:25.040 it wasn't just, oh, the comfort or the convenience

01:26:27.040 or, oh, it's nice to have your own building.

01:26:29.160 No, the biggest thing is that because I'm constantly under attack in the news, in the headlines, this controversy is trending on X or whatever, we just, as a congregation, we can't afford to be at the mercy of renting from somebody else.

01:26:51.300 knowing that that my enemies what they'll do is because they can't they can't stop me they'll

01:26:57.900 indirectly try to stop me by going to whoever's renting to our church on sundays and do a facebook

01:27:04.800 campaign and try to tank their business and this is what they've been doing for four years to try

01:27:09.640 to keep get us off the streets correct on the streets and and it's uh and it's worked actually

01:27:15.620 And we had to find another place and barely got another.

01:27:17.940 So finally, we have another permanent, secure.

01:27:22.300 So the biggest thing is not the convenience or the aesthetics or the comfort.

01:27:25.440 It's the stability.

01:27:27.020 It's the security.

01:27:29.160 And so all that being said, this year has been incredibly busy,

01:27:35.620 not just because behind the scenes for over half of the year,

01:27:40.880 the majority of the year have we been building behind the scenes an entire company and stockpiling

01:27:47.740 content and writing a book and doing a 10-part series and building two new studios and all this,

01:27:55.660 but also getting a church building, setting that up, moving locations as a church, which is not

01:28:07.120 a small task, getting that building completely ready to go. There's been a lot. I can't even

01:28:16.140 remember the original question because it's gone away now. Oh, and so my point is we just realized

01:28:23.380 there were other pressing things. So I said that the reason why I talked about the church building

01:28:27.780 in that transition is that I wanted to be able to articulate that it's not that we put the school

01:28:33.160 on pause for the media company the official answer and it is the official answer is there was some

01:28:42.000 differences of vision it felt like it wasn't quite the right time wanting to postpone we wanted to

01:28:47.200 do it when we when we do it we wanted to do it well but also um we were very busy and not just

01:28:53.440 with social media but predominantly the the first priority was our local church and um to put the

01:29:01.300 media company before school is questionable uh to put the church before a school uh feels just

01:29:08.860 right um i think that that's that's proper and appropriate and so that's one of the reasons why

01:29:14.200 we we postponed the school one of the big reasons is we just realized we need all hands on deck and

01:29:19.640 in terms of order of priority sense of urgency the first order of business we've got to get our

01:29:25.820 church a permanent home where we can't get kicked out so that's my answer uh cousin rey sent in a

01:29:32.360 two dollar super chat trying to imagine wes and joel shopping together so i will say this we had

01:29:37.020 a mission one time we had to get a painting from a big department store we made a decision in what

01:29:42.280 270 seconds or less women it would it literally metaphysically wouldn't be possible we walked in 0.68

01:29:48.160 we looked at the walls that one we both said yep and we bought it it was under two minutes 1.00

01:29:52.600 incredible and we're efficient it wouldn't be metaphysically possible if we were with them if

01:29:58.780 what if we were with them i don't know if we if women were there oh it would be metaphysically

01:30:03.460 impossible for two women to walk in correct and in 270 seconds decide on a piece of furniture 0.96

01:30:08.200 yeah shopping pros and cons right shopping with another man the cons you might be gay right 0.97

01:30:13.540 we just we got to say we got to admit it yeah i'll just there's some downside yeah there is a 0.88

01:30:17.320 downside the downside is you might have to you know call your dad afterwards and break the you 0.51

01:30:21.800 know the the hard news and hey your son's gay all right so that's the downside uh the upside though 0.66

01:30:26.760 is that shopping is exceedingly efficient so efficient when you go uh shopping for what whether 0.94

01:30:33.800 it's a painting for a studio whatever it is with another dude instead of a woman god bless women

01:30:39.040 but uh the shopping experience is elongated it's not a half day's journey it's like all right i

01:30:45.120 gotta i gotta clear my schedule i need to take this entire afternoon you finish shopping with

01:30:49.880 your wife and you feel like you need to be writing you know uh there and back again a husband's tale

01:30:55.720 you know something you know some great novel about the journey and how you barely made it back you

01:30:59.800 you're like you're kissing your children on the forehead i never thought i'd see you again they've

01:31:03.360 grown up like three years in the time since you've been gone it's a big deal uh davis dakota sent

01:31:08.120 snuck in a very generous super chat right here at the end uh they said i've been a weekly listener

01:31:13.120 for four years now wow they've seen a lot i'm so excited for this move god bless right response and

01:31:18.600 God bless NXR.

01:31:22.320 that the Lord would preserve both of their lives

01:31:24.180 through this dangerous pregnancy and delivery.

01:31:26.880 And he's super chatted about that before.

01:31:29.580 Yeah, let's pray real quick.
