Brother Jim: Welcome to this podcast, the

Brother Jim: show where we have strong

Brother Jim: opinions.

Brother Jim: Zero qualifications and just

Brother Jim: enough confidence to keep

Brother Jim: talking away.

Brother Jim: And if you are here to learn something.

Brother Jim: Lower your expectations.

Brother Jim: If you are here to laugh, overthink and question why we're

Brother Jim: allowed to have microphones.

Brother Jim: Perfect.

Brother Jim: You are in the right place right here with us.

Brother Jim: So grab your coffee, ignore your responsibilities for a bit, and

Brother Jim: let's get into it, shall we?

Brother Jim: First off, David.

Brother Jim: Knock, knock.

Brother Jim: Who's there?

David: Can't get the mic turned on.

Brother Jim: Wooden shoe.

David: Wooden shoe.

David: Who?

Brother Jim: Wouldn't you like to know?

Brother Jim: And to hear more jokes.

Brother Jim: That was bad.

Brother Jim: That was bad.

Brother Jim: Did you hear the one about the roof?

Brother Jim: No. Never mind.

Brother Jim: It's over your head.

Brother Jim: Yes, it's double joke Thursday and they are bad.

Brother Jim: So hopefully you've got a little bit more humor.

Brother Jim: And again, see, that's why we need you guys to comment and

Brother Jim: give us some jokes.

Brother Jim: Yes we need your help.

Brother Jim: But what a blessing right.

Brother Jim: Ida Lee and Mr. Dan are two favorite pets we got.

Brother Jim: Now we're moving up.

Brother Jim: Uh, you know, pretty soon we're

Brother Jim: gonna have to build a fence

Brother Jim: here.

Brother Jim: David, with a little barn.

Brother Jim: Let us know what you'd like to

Brother Jim: see, too, because like I said

Brother Jim: last show.

Brother Jim: I'd like to get some more exotic animals, but, uh, you know, uh,

Brother Jim: let us know.

Brother Jim: Maybe we can make that happen.

Brother Jim: Boy, an elephant would be cool.

Brother Jim: A rhinoceros.

Brother Jim: Giraffe, giraffe.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, boy, the food bill is going to kill us, though.

David: No kidding.

David: They're gonna eat our whole budget.

Brother Jim: Exactly what budget?

Brother Jim: Alrighty.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: In saying all that.

Brother Jim: Good morning to you, our friends.

Brother Jim: Good morning world.

Brother Jim: Let us thank God for another beautiful day, another breath.

Brother Jim: O another chance to breathe the

Brother Jim: air and another opportunity to

Brother Jim: grow.

Brother Jim: Here on Bible bibs and a prayer.

Brother Jim: We start our day with gratitude,

Brother Jim: good conversation and positive

Brother Jim: energy and not so good jokes,

Brother Jim: obviously.

Brother Jim: Let's turn this from a conversation into an experience.

Brother Jim: And now joining me always is the human embodiment of sarcasm.

Brother Jim: My co-host, the man has a PhD in

Brother Jim: eye rolling, a black belt and

Brother Jim: witty comebacks and absolutely

Brother Jim: no intention of taking anything

Brother Jim: seriously today.

Brother Jim: If there is a sincere moment,

Brother Jim: don't worry, he and I will ruin

Brother Jim: it.

Brother Jim: And if there's a bad joke, he will double down on it somehow.

Brother Jim: Despite all that, he is still

Brother Jim: here and legally allowed to have

Brother Jim: a microphone.

Brother Jim: Say hello to a man among men.

Brother Jim: a face that only a mother could love.

Brother Jim: Please welcome the one and only Mr. David Keener.

Brother Jim: Plus, he's one of my best friends in the whole wide world.

Brother Jim: Good morning, my friend.

David: Good morning.

David: And I'm only legally allowed to

David: have a microphone because the

David: FCC no longer requires a

David: broadcast license.

David: Who used to have a have to have a license to be on the radio

David: back in the day.

David: Did you know that?

Brother Jim: No, I didn't know that.

David: Yeah. If you wanted to sit behind the microphone, you had

David: to have a broadcaster's license.

Brother Jim: Wow, boy.

Brother Jim: Good thing it's not then.

Brother Jim: Not now.

Brother Jim: We'd be in trouble.

David: No kidding.

Brother Jim: Boy, they watched just an episode of us.

Brother Jim: These guys.

Brother Jim: No, no, no, no, put the pig in the chicken on.

Brother Jim: How was life in general?

David: It's good.

David: And, you know, I was having trouble getting my wife's

David: attention the other day, so I sat down and looked comfortable.

David: I did it.

Brother Jim: Oh, that was so much better than mine.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Did you hear that, men?

Brother Jim: If you want to get your wife's

Brother Jim: attention, sit down and look

Brother Jim: comfortable.

Brother Jim: And bingo!

Brother Jim: Bango.

Brother Jim: They'll be looking for you.

Brother Jim: That applies to the kids, too.

David: Yeah, yeah.

David: For sure.

David: No doubt.

David: And for some reason, this happens in your house.

David: Uh, my wife and I will both be sitting there.

David: Same room, side by side.

David: She's doing four or five different things.

David: I'm doing nothing.

David: I'm sitting there just dummy, staring at the screen.

David: And inevitably they'll ask her, mom, can I get a snack?

David: Mom, can you just like I'm doing nothing right?

David: Why are you bugging mom?

Brother Jim: Right?

David: Oh, she loves it.

David: She loves.

Brother Jim: It. Yeah.

David: Not really.

Brother Jim: I got so much I could say on

Brother Jim: that, but we don't have that

Brother Jim: much time.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Uh, thank God for wives and mamas.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Uh, well, we are almost there to

David: I mean, it's a.

Brother Jim: I haven't yet to see.

David: I haven't either, I think it's supposed to be semi-decent, but

David: I haven't really looked.

Brother Jim: So yeah, it's.

Brother Jim: And you know, us out in the country, we don't have those,

Brother Jim: uh, perfect manicured lawns and I've got a zero turn and I

Brother Jim: bought it with, uh, uh, aggressive tread on the back.

Brother Jim: I go up some decent hills.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but the bad thing is, like, in the front yard, when

Brother Jim: you go to pivot.

David: There's tearing.

Brother Jim: It up.

Brother Jim: It just tears it up.

Brother Jim: And no matter how and especially right now, the grass or the

Brother Jim: ground is so muddy.

Brother Jim: Yeah, it just tears it up.

David: So I will tell the ladies and gentlemen that if they are

David: looking for something to do in their downtime this weekend,

David: Bible bibs and a prayer now has its own YouTube channel.

David: Oh, you can go to youtube.com, Bible bibs and a prayer.

David: And it's just our videos.

David: There's one hundred and twenty nine of them up there now.

Brother Jim: Are you serious?

Brother Jim: Yeah, one hundred and twenty nine videos.

Brother Jim: Yep.

David: Broken out by season.

David: So you can just binge to your heart's content.

Brother Jim: So there you.

David: Go. No, No plan to separate anything officially.

David: But if you want to find, you

David: know, if you don't want to weed

David: through all the church stuff,

David: we've got a page just for Bible

David: bibs.

Brother Jim: And he is the man that is the

Brother Jim: reason why he is the man, you

Brother Jim: know?

Brother Jim: Uh, and I was so proud of myself.

Brother Jim: Uh, the other week we hosted, uh, the lent service here at

Brother Jim: Rockford Church, and, uh, David was unfortunately not able to

Brother Jim: make it out.

Brother Jim: I said, I got this, and he actually texted me how to get

Brother Jim: everything set up as far as mikes go because we had a

Brother Jim: special guest speaker.

Brother Jim: And lo and behold, I didn't even have to look at my notes.

Brother Jim: So he said he was actually going to get me a certificate with a

Brother Jim: big ol gold star.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

David: You're now certified.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I am certified.

Brother Jim: I don't know what for, but I know my wife would jump in

Brother Jim: certified, you know, mentally not stable, but, uh, how many

Brother Jim: guys can say amen to that one?

Brother Jim: Yes, their wives would agree.

Brother Jim: Or their children.

Brother Jim: Uh. Let's see.

Brother Jim: Oh, I did get to finally use a, uh.

Brother Jim: A flat stone.

Brother Jim: Black.

David: Oh. Blackstone.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Blackstone.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And we were cooking sausage over here.

Brother Jim: The life center the other day for the breakfast for T four C

Brother Jim: and at the end.

Brother Jim: You know he's cleaning it all up.

Brother Jim: You know that little tray where all your stuff.

Brother Jim: Well I put too much water on it.

Brother Jim: So I was getting it in the tray.

Brother Jim: Well I go to pull the tray out.

Brother Jim: That old tray came out a little

Brother Jim: quick all over my brand new

Brother Jim: tennis shoes, all over the

Brother Jim: cement.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness, what a mess.

David: We call that in the business a rookie mistake.

Brother Jim: Thank you. Yeah. Apparently I'm not getting a certificate of

Brother Jim: completion on that one yet, so, uh, what a mess.

Brother Jim: So now I'm gonna have to get a degreaser and go over with the

Brother Jim: pressure washer and pour Harold a great guy who's part of the T

Brother Jim: four C helps his wife there.

Brother Jim: He's down on his hands and knees trying to scrub it.

Brother Jim: Get it?

Brother Jim: I said I think this calls for the big guns.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Bring out the pressure washer.

Brother Jim: So uh, yes.

Brother Jim: But how about you guys let us know what you got going on?

Brother Jim: Uh, garden time's going to be here.

Brother Jim: I've been looking at some plants, David.

Brother Jim: Getting some ideas.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I did order something for myself.

Brother Jim: Uh, I've got a Steiner.

Brother Jim: I use that Steiner all the time, and it's got a bucket.

Brother Jim: And, uh, I bought a they're like forks.

Brother Jim: You can clamp so you can move skids, logs and everything.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: So, uh, I want to get some

Brother Jim: raised beds built, uh, for the

Brother Jim: plant.

Brother Jim: Tomato plants, potatoes.

Brother Jim: You gonna put some onions?

Brother Jim: Onions in for my mom, even

Brother Jim: though I detest onions, but

Brother Jim: yeah, looking at, uh, it's that

Brother Jim: time.

Brother Jim: Of course, it's still kind of hard with the weather here.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: But, uh, you're gonna.

David: You're gonna raise them about

David: nine feet to keep the deer out

David: of them.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh. Uh, I'm thinking a nice twenty two over their heads.

Brother Jim: Might get them out of the way.

Brother Jim: I'm saying that also works.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes, yes, dear.

David: Pair well with vegetables.

Brother Jim: Yeah. There you go.

Brother Jim: Don't.

Brother Jim: Please don't be calling the game warden.

Brother Jim: No, I'm joking, I'm joking.

Brother Jim: We'll go with the pepper spray and all that.

Brother Jim: Bottle rockets wouldn't be bad.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, we could do.

Brother Jim: I got tons of bottles.

David: There you.

Brother Jim: Go. Roman candles.

Brother Jim: I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Brother Jim: No, we could video that one.

David: Yeah, that'd be fun.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Uh, just as long as we don't shoot our eye out.

Brother Jim: So. All right, let us know what

Brother Jim: plans you got going for the

Brother Jim: weekend.

Brother Jim: And, uh, you know what?

Brother Jim: How your Easter goes.

Brother Jim: We'd love to hear from you, but

Brother Jim: what have you done this past

Brother Jim: week to make a difference in

Brother Jim: God's kingdom?

Brother Jim: Hopefully you've done something, even something little.

Brother Jim: Hey, just keep pounding away on it.

Brother Jim: Just keep pounding away.

Brother Jim: And the weekend is almost here.

Brother Jim: And you know what, David, I was thinking.

Brother Jim: I love old George Jones.

Brother Jim: Yeah, maybe we can pipe this in sometimes.

Brother Jim: And I was with Ellie the other

Brother Jim: day, and I said, have you ever

Brother Jim: heard this song from the Great

Brother Jim: Lake?

Brother Jim: Country music legend, George Jones?

Brother Jim: And, uh, that old song, it's finally Friday goes.

Brother Jim: I got one hundred dollars smoking in my billfold.

Brother Jim: I know I ought to save it, but

Brother Jim: it's burning a hole right

Brother Jim: through my pocket and into my

Brother Jim: skin.

Brother Jim: Come on Monday morning I'll be broke again.

Brother Jim: It's finally Friday.

Brother Jim: I'm free again.

Brother Jim: I got my motor running for a wild weekend.

Brother Jim: It's finally Friday.

Brother Jim: I'm out of control.

Brother Jim: Forget the working blues and let the good times roll.

Brother Jim: Now David, the good times for me.

Brother Jim: Work a little nap, a little work a little nap a little.

Brother Jim: You know, moderation, my friend.

Brother Jim: Moderation.

Brother Jim: So saddle up and let's let us.

Brother Jim: You and I hit the trail together

Brother Jim: for that brand new weekend, and

Brother Jim: we are going to have fun doing

Brother Jim: it.

Brother Jim: Come on, come on, come on.

Brother Jim: You can do it, friends.

Brother Jim: We're almost there now.

Brother Jim: A fellow took a new job, and in

Brother Jim: a hilly eastern city, his

Brother Jim: commute was a tiring array of

Brother Jim: tunnels, bridges and traffic

Brother Jim: jams.

Brother Jim: Thinking to make the trip more bearable, he invited some

Brother Jim: coworkers to share the ride.

Brother Jim: However, the commute actually

Brother Jim: got more stressful, especially

Brother Jim: the trips.

Brother Jim: The trips through the tunnel.

Brother Jim: He consulted the company doctor.

Brother Jim: Doc, the frustrated commuter complained.

Brother Jim: I'm fine on the bridges and the traffic in the day and at night,

Brother Jim: and even when Joe forgets to bathe all week.

Brother Jim: But when I get in the tunnels with those four other guys

Brother Jim: crowded into that car.

Brother Jim: I get anxious and dizzy and I feel like I'm going to explode.

Brother Jim: What is it, doc?

Brother Jim: AM I going insane?

Brother Jim: No, no, no, said the doctor.

Brother Jim: The problem?

Brother Jim: This problem is actually quite common.

Brother Jim: Tell me, what is it you have?

Brother Jim: You have what is known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Brother Jim: Oh.

David: Oh. Watching.

David: Watching.

Brother Jim: Ah. I was getting stressed writing that out because I could

Brother Jim: just put myself in that.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: The traffic and the tunnels.

Brother Jim: Yes. Even Stinky Joe.

Brother Jim: I thought that was a good one, though.

Brother Jim: Carpal tunnel.

Brother Jim: Today's thought.

Brother Jim: The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns.

Brother Jim: He comes as everything you'd ever wished for.

Brother Jim: Woo!

Brother Jim: Wow, Tucker.

Brother Jim: Max on that one.

Brother Jim: Well, as we continue our little talk here.

Brother Jim: Discussion?

Brother Jim: Why Satan hates mankind.

Brother Jim: Now understand this.

Brother Jim: Satan doesn't just dislike humanity.

Brother Jim: Satan hates you and I with a relentless burning hatred.

Brother Jim: Why?

Brother Jim: Why does he hate us so much?

Brother Jim: Because you and I were made in the image of God from the very

Brother Jim: beginning in the book of Genesis, God formed mankind with

Brother Jim: intention, breathed life into us, and gave us something safe.

Brother Jim: Satan.

Brother Jim: He gave up.

Brother Jim: He forfeited relationship.

Brother Jim: Relationship with God.

Brother Jim: Satan rebelled.

Brother Jim: We, we, my friends, were redeemed.

Brother Jim: And that reality.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness, that reality

Brother Jim: fuels his rage, his anger, his

Brother Jim: hate.

Brother Jim: Every time Satan looks at humanity, he sees a reflection

Brother Jim: of the God he he rejected.

Brother Jim: And a future he's never going to have again.

Brother Jim: That's why Satan's mission is destruction.

Brother Jim: And in the book of John ten ten, and we've used this verse, one

Brother Jim: of my favorite verses.

Brother Jim: It says, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

Brother Jim: Satan wants to steal your identity.

Brother Jim: Kill your purpose and destroy,

Brother Jim: destroy, destroy your connection

Brother Jim: with God not because of who you

Brother Jim: are alone, but because of whose

Brother Jim: you are.

Brother Jim: Let me say that again.

Brother Jim: Not because of who you are alone

Brother Jim: yourself, but because of who you

Brother Jim: are.

Brother Jim: who you belong to and hopefully, hopefully you belong to God.

Brother Jim: Now if you don't, you're falling right into the devil's hands.

Brother Jim: Would you rather be a child of God or a pet to Satan?

Brother Jim: MM. Satan cannot strike God, so he strikes what God loves.

Brother Jim: But hear this clearly.

Brother Jim: Satan's hatred is not power.

Brother Jim: It is desperation.

Brother Jim: You ever been desperate before, David?

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: How are we?

Brother Jim: Desperate as mankind.

Brother Jim: Uh, start with something simple.

Brother Jim: I'm desperate to lose some weight again.

Brother Jim: Kind of, you know, hit a stymie, if you will.

Brother Jim: Uh, desperate.

Brother Jim: Comes with money, does it not?

Brother Jim: Got bills to pay and desperate to get some cash flow going in.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: And look at what mankind has turned to.

Brother Jim: Not so great ideas of, you know, obtaining money illegally,

Brother Jim: gambling, uh, stealing.

Brother Jim: I mean, that can go on and on.

Brother Jim: Desperation.

Brother Jim: How about in our own lives?

Brother Jim: Do we become desperate?

Brother Jim: Do we.

Brother Jim: Do we lack hope?

Brother Jim: I think that's you ever run into that?

Brother Jim: A person with no hope, I. I was a person with no hope.

Brother Jim: Desperate, very desperate.

Brother Jim: Desperate just to hang on to life.

Brother Jim: There's people out there, my friends.

Brother Jim: I've been there.

Brother Jim: You are desperate just to get through the day.

Brother Jim: And that's reality.

Brother Jim: That's just reality.

Brother Jim: Say that with me.

Brother Jim: Reality, desperation.

Brother Jim: Just to make it through today.

Brother Jim: That maybe, just maybe today might be a little different.

Brother Jim: But because.

Brother Jim: Oh, because despite everything he tries, Satan tries.

Brother Jim: Humanity still has access.

Brother Jim: Yes, we have access to grace.

Brother Jim: We. We still have access to forgiveness.

Brother Jim: Still we have access to victory.

Brother Jim: There's going to come a time when we leave this earth.

Brother Jim: That axis is over.

Brother Jim: I know it's a horrible thing to

Brother Jim: say, but could you imagine

Brother Jim: peeking in on the people in

Brother Jim: hell?

David: No.

Brother Jim: What would they say?

David: Man, I've got to be just talk about.

David: Full of regrets.

Brother Jim: Desperation.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Desperation. And I was reading in the Bible.

Brother Jim: And we'll get more into this.

Brother Jim: You know, it talks about the gnashing of teeth.

Brother Jim: And it was explained that as people screaming, yelling out,

Brother Jim: angry at God, why did you do this to me?

Brother Jim: God, why did you put me here?

Brother Jim: God and no, God didn't put you there.

Brother Jim: God gave you.

Brother Jim: Listen up folks.

Brother Jim: God gave you a choice.

Brother Jim: He loves us so much.

Brother Jim: He gave us free will.

Brother Jim: You choose.

Brother Jim: I choose where we spend eternity.

Brother Jim: That's true love.

Brother Jim: He's not forcing us to do anything.

Brother Jim: He gave us his son, Jesus.

Brother Jim: to die for our sins, to take our sins.

Brother Jim: Think of that.

Brother Jim: An innocent man.

Brother Jim: You ever been innocent before and charged with something you

Brother Jim: didn't do or blame for something you didn't do?

Brother Jim: That's not a very good feeling, is it, David?

Brother Jim: And you think of Jesus perfect, innocent.

Brother Jim: But at the end of the day, those moments, he took it all for us.

Brother Jim: And just think about that.

Brother Jim: All the sins of the world.

Brother Jim: And David, I can't even begin to

Brother Jim: fathom that all the sins of the

Brother Jim: world.

Brother Jim: So when you feel the pressure, the lies, the attacks.

Brother Jim: Do not mistake it for weakness.

Brother Jim: It is confirmation.

Brother Jim: You and I, you and I are a

Brother Jim: target because you carry

Brother Jim: something eternal.

Brother Jim: Satan hates mankind because we

Brother Jim: remind him that he had already

Brother Jim: lost.

Brother Jim: We remind him what he gave up.

Brother Jim: And again, whose fault is that?

Brother Jim: Satan?

Brother Jim: He made the choice.

Brother Jim: And again, as Dave and I talked last week, I mean, why, dude?

Brother Jim: Why you're your creation of heaven.

Brother Jim: You have this high Power.

Brother Jim: You're there with God.

Brother Jim: You're leading praise and worship.

Brother Jim: Why would you give that up?

Brother Jim: Pride.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But again, for you and I, I just to me, dude, you got it made.

Brother Jim: Yeah, you got it made.

Brother Jim: Why would you do that?

Brother Jim: But you look at ourselves, we self destruct, don't we?

David: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: We self destruct from the little to the big.

Brother Jim: We self destruct just as well.

Brother Jim: And at the end of the day, are

Brother Jim: you left with that nagging

Brother Jim: question.

Brother Jim: Why did I do that?

Brother Jim: Boy I do.

Brother Jim: Why did I just do that?

Brother Jim: And brother sisters, I don't know about you, but that's where

Brother Jim: that conviction comes in.

Brother Jim: Yeah, because we're hurting God, you know.

Brother Jim: Our actions, what we say, what we do, and we're claiming to be,

Brother Jim: oh, I belong to God, and that's great, but we gotta live it too.

Brother Jim: And I'm talking to me right now as well as you.

Brother Jim: We gotta live it.

Brother Jim: Why would you hurt somebody you love?

Brother Jim: Why would you hurt somebody who sacrificed it all?

Brother Jim: Again.

Brother Jim: Satan hates mankind because we remind him what he already lost.

Brother Jim: My friends, there's a battle going on.

Brother Jim: There is a spiritual warfare

Brother Jim: going on around you and I.

Brother Jim: Taking hold.

Brother Jim: Families.

Brother Jim: And it's been there.

Brother Jim: Family, schools, government, our country, the world.

Brother Jim: But there's victory.

Brother Jim: At the end of the day, there is victory.

Brother Jim: And I don't know.

Brother Jim: David doesn't know.

Brother Jim: We don't know when God is coming back.

Brother Jim: When Jesus comes back, only God knows.

Brother Jim: The father knows.

Brother Jim: But when that time comes, are you prepared?

Brother Jim: Are you prepared?

Brother Jim: Don't delay.

Brother Jim: Make the choice.

Brother Jim: Jesus and Jesus alone.

Brother Jim: Well, my friends, that just about does it for this Thursday.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: David.
