Brother Jim: neighbors, loved ones, these two are off their rockers.
-
Brother Jim: I'm not quite sure what's wrong with them.

Brother Jim: intro was good, just wait.
-
Brother Jim: Oh baby, it gets even better.
-
Brother Jim: He is a man among men.
-
Brother Jim: A face that only a mother, a very special mother could love.
-
Brother Jim: And the moment you've all been waiting for.
-
Brother Jim: my co-host today is someone who
-
Brother Jim: keeps me humble, mostly by
-
Brother Jim: reminding me how often I am
-
Brother Jim: wrong.
-
Brother Jim: Please welcome the one, the only Mr. David Keener.
-
Brother Jim: And plus he's one of my very
-
Brother Jim: best friends in the whole wide
-
Brother Jim: world.
-
Brother Jim: Mr. David, how are we doing, brother?
-
David: I'm doing well.
-
David: You know, we've been
-
David: troubleshooting some things
-
David: here, and I've consulted some of
-
David: my friends.
-
David: You may not know this, but I've
-
David: got a Polish friend who is a
-
David: sound technician.
-
David: And a check.
-
David: One, two, a check.
-
David: One, two.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, man, I wish I could bang drum roll on now.
-
Brother Jim: And that was awesome.
-
Brother Jim: That was a good one.
-
Brother Jim: Man, he never disappoints, does he, folks?
-
Brother Jim: Well, sometimes he is my boss.
-
Brother Jim: Right there.
-
Brother Jim: Yes.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, maybe you can find one for the fans.
-
Brother Jim: They're a little imitation again of Bob Uecker.
-
Brother Jim: Bless us with it.
-
David: Just a bit outside.
-
Brother Jim: I love it, love it.
-
Brother Jim: Ah, so how goes life in keener ville?
-
David: It's good.
-
David: Like I said before.
-
David: It's we're in the middle of birthday season and got one this
-
David: coming up weekend.
-
David: The two year old's turning three.
-
David: And don't tell the others.
-
David: But he's going to be my favorite birthday.
-
David: He's the baby.
-
David: Oh yeah.
-
David: Yeah he's he's he's got daddy right there.
-
David: So yeah yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. With girls it's different because you know they all think
-
Brother Jim: they're my favorite.
-
Brother Jim: But you know, and maybe there is one or two I won't tell, but
-
Brother Jim: yeah, it's they're all loved and unique in their own way.
-
Brother Jim: I get it.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: The firstborn.
-
Brother Jim: There's always that special bond.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: You know the baby.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Sorry.
-
Brother Jim: Michaela and Kelsey.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: You guys are in the middle there.
-
Brother Jim: So yeah.
-
David: I do feel bad for the middle one.
-
David: My middle one just has it rough
-
David: because, you know, he can't do
-
David: the stuff that the oldest one
-
David: can do.
-
David: He doesn't get the attention
-
David: that the youngest one can get
-
David: because he's a little
-
David: independent.
-
David: So I, I can see it and I feel bad for him.
-
David: But we try.
-
Brother Jim: The one making bombs out of the yard, blowing stuff up, jumping
-
Brother Jim: off the roof.
-
Brother Jim: Look, dad, I'm Superman.
-
David: He's already doing that stuff to some degree.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, boy.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, how about you guys?
-
Brother Jim: Big plans for the weekend?
-
Brother Jim: Let us know.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, we got our chili cook off this Saturday.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, at Rockford Church, three p m. So if you think you got the
-
Brother Jim: stuff your chili's all that good, then come on out and bring
-
Brother Jim: it chili cook off.
-
Brother Jim: Start at three p m, bring it.
-
Brother Jim: It will be judged.
-
Brother Jim: And we do have awards now, our,
-
Brother Jim: I think two time gold medalist,
-
Brother Jim: Larry Carr.
-
Brother Jim: God bless him.
-
Brother Jim: I remember the first time he won, he wore that gold medal
-
Brother Jim: like a champion.
-
Brother Jim: He would not let anybody forget
-
Brother Jim: that he was the chili cook off
-
Brother Jim: champion.
-
Brother Jim: So but, you know, kind of disappointed.
-
Brother Jim: There's not a whole lot of smack
-
Brother Jim: talk going on about the chili
-
Brother Jim: right now.
-
Brother Jim: Usually we get a pretty good
-
Brother Jim: smack talking, you know, thing
-
Brother Jim: going.
-
Brother Jim: So, uh, I might have to start creating some of my own.
-
Brother Jim: Hey, David, did you hear about what so and so was saying about.
-
Brother Jim: Yes.
-
Brother Jim: So if you got some chili, you think it's good?
-
Brother Jim: Bring it.
-
Brother Jim: Don't sing it.
-
Brother Jim: All right.
-
Brother Jim: But yeah, I think that's our big thing.
-
Brother Jim: And then the week before Easter, that Saturday or no, excuse me,
-
Brother Jim: the Saturday before Easter, we got our big Easter egg hunt over
-
Brother Jim: to Life Center.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, check us out on Facebook.
-
Brother Jim: A lot of things going on.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, very busy, busy, busy.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, and I tell you, David, as
-
Brother Jim: soon as, uh, Easter is over,
-
Brother Jim: brother Jim is taking a little
-
Brother Jim: time off.
-
David: Well earned for sure.
-
Brother Jim: Yes. To get stuff done around the house.
-
Brother Jim: So. Yes, it never ends.
-
Brother Jim: And for us people out in the country.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, you gotta love the mud, the mud, the mud, David, I tell you.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, and we're on a we get a lot of overflow water drainage from
-
Brother Jim: the, the hills around runoff.
-
Brother Jim: Yes, runoff.
-
Brother Jim: But, uh, me and you, old Steiner with the bucket.
-
Brother Jim: We're trying our hardest to to, uh, eliminate some of that, but,
-
Brother Jim: uh, yes, it is time.
-
Brother Jim: I'm hoping to get everything out.
-
Brother Jim: Oil changed, all that stuff cleaned up, ready to roll.
-
Brother Jim: That's going to be a small fortune right there with all the
-
Brother Jim: toys I've got, but I bet.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, well, guys in their toys.
-
Brother Jim: You know, I am getting something cool.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, for the Steiner.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, you can buy an attachment that'll lift skids.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, and they're like one thousand twelve hundred dollars.
-
Brother Jim: I can't afford that.
-
Brother Jim: But you can get a set of clamps
-
Brother Jim: with forks on them that clamp to
-
Brother Jim: your bucket.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, for one hundred and sixty bucks.
-
David: That's.
-
Brother Jim: More reasonable because I've got a ton of stuff to build.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Outdoor kitchen, stuff like that.
-
Brother Jim: Yes.
-
Brother Jim: So maybe we can do a cameo down there.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, once I get it set up, but, uh.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: And it's going to be garden season and I'm really debating,
-
Brother Jim: I'm going to put some stuff out this year because, uh, you know,
-
Brother Jim: it gets a man to thinking, David, the way our world is.
-
Brother Jim: I'm just going to be honest.
-
Brother Jim: This is just my opinion.
-
Brother Jim: The way the government can kind of control things with food
-
Brother Jim: prices, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Uh, I'm going to try to be like Marty and Mary.
-
Brother Jim: I mean, God, I'll never catch up with them.
-
Brother Jim: But the gardens, they put out what they can.
-
Brother Jim: I'm going to be turning to them for a lot of things.
-
David: If you're prepared and you don't
-
David: need it, the worst thing that
-
David: can happen is you got a bunch of
-
David: extra food.
-
Brother Jim: You got it.
-
Brother Jim: So and there's nothing like
-
Brother Jim: fresh vegetables from the
-
Brother Jim: garden.
-
David: Oh, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. Now here I'm going to cover up Miss Ida Lee.
-
Brother Jim: But I'm really thinking we're
-
Brother Jim: going to get the pigs this
-
Brother Jim: spring here.
-
Brother Jim: So, uh.
-
Brother Jim: And you know what happens to
-
Brother Jim: piggies when they get big and
-
Brother Jim: fat?
-
Brother Jim: Not you, baby, not you.
-
Brother Jim: You're safe.
-
Brother Jim: But yeah, but the I think I
-
Brother Jim: mentioned it these every the the
-
Brother Jim: mom, the wife Ellie want baby
-
Brother Jim: goats.
-
Brother Jim: And it's like, man, do I pull the trigger.
-
Brother Jim: David.
-
Brother Jim: How about I turn to my fellow, our fellow brothers and sisters,
-
Brother Jim: should brother Jim get some baby goats for the kids and for his
-
Brother Jim: wife and for his mom?
-
Brother Jim: So let me know.
-
Brother Jim: Hit me up in the comments.
-
Brother Jim: You will determine whether we get baby goats or not.
-
Brother Jim: There.
-
Brother Jim: I'm taking all the pressure off of me.
-
David: There you go.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. So, uh, but yeah, it is.
-
Brother Jim: It's hard to believe it's almost
-
Brother Jim: time start getting stuff for the
-
Brother Jim: garden.
-
Brother Jim: Do you put in any plants at the house?
-
David: No, no. I've got a really small backyard and there's just no
-
David: place for it.
-
Brother Jim: So yeah, a lot of people just do the planners, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: At least you get some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, that
-
Brother Jim: kind of stuff.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, that'd be a good job for the middle one.
-
Brother Jim: There you go.
-
Brother Jim: Turn him into.
-
Brother Jim: You are Mr. Gardener now?
-
Brother Jim: Yes.
-
David: Oh, the thoughts that are running through my mind.
-
Brother Jim: Do little videos with him out there.
-
Brother Jim: We could do a sequence of him
-
Brother Jim: putting the plan in and then how
-
Brother Jim: it grows.
-
Brother Jim: And yeah, keep us updated.
-
Brother Jim: Updated on, uh, you know, on the success rate.
-
David: Somehow I think that the yard would end up being about nine
-
David: feet deep and there'd be no plants in it.
-
David: Gotcha.
-
Brother Jim: Gotcha. Till one day David loses
-
Brother Jim: his cool or self control as we
-
Brother Jim: was talking about, and just
-
Brother Jim: takes the mower and goes right
-
Brother Jim: over it.
-
Brother Jim: How about you guys?
-
Brother Jim: You're putting in a garden this year.
-
Brother Jim: Let us know what's your favorite plants to put in.
-
Brother Jim: What kind of tomatoes you like?
-
Brother Jim: Let us know.
-
Brother Jim: Maybe we're missing out on something.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, I do want to do.
-
Brother Jim: Potatoes this year.
-
Brother Jim: They always make it look so easy online.
-
Brother Jim: You know with tires or baskets.
-
Brother Jim: How does multi produce and yeah
-
Brother Jim: of course they always make it
-
Brother Jim: easy.
-
David: Of course.
-
Brother Jim: Online.

David: Just cut to the finish.

Brother Jim: Yeah. They don't show you out there.
-
Brother Jim: You know in ninety degree

-
Brother Jim: chasing the.

-
Brother Jim: A week has almost come to an end.
-
Brother Jim: Friends, what have you done to make this past week to make a
-
Brother Jim: difference in God's kingdom?
-
Brother Jim: Have you been working on that
-
Brother Jim: little homework assignment of
-
Brother Jim: taking a bite of humility and
-
Brother Jim: doing something nice for
-
Brother Jim: somebody?
-
Brother Jim: You still got time.
-
Brother Jim: The week has not finished, so get out there and do something.
-
Brother Jim: Make a difference in the world.
-
Brother Jim: You're going to feel better about yourself.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, you know, the weekend is almost here.
-
Brother Jim: So, David, what you gonna do?
-
Brother Jim: What you gonna do?
-
Brother Jim: What you going to do for God in his kingdom?
-
Brother Jim: I still want to break that down.
-
Brother Jim: You gotta sub that in sometime for.
-
David: Us to figure out a way.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. So saddle up, partners.
-
Brother Jim: I got my riding hat on.
-
Brother Jim: Let us hit that brand new weekend trail together.
-
Brother Jim: Come on, come on, come on.
-
Brother Jim: You can do it.
-
Brother Jim: You're almost there.
-
Brother Jim: And oh, oh, while waiting for my first appointment in the
-
Brother Jim: reception room of a new dentist.
-
Brother Jim: Now we all love to go to the dentist, don't we?
-
Brother Jim: I noticed this certificate which bore the dentist's full name.
-
Brother Jim: Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same
-
Brother Jim: name had been in my high school class almost fifty years ago.
-
Brother Jim: Upon seeing him, however, I
-
Brother Jim: quickly discarded any such
-
Brother Jim: thought.
-
Brother Jim: This balding, gray haired man with deeply lined face was too
-
Brother Jim: old to have been in my class.
-
Brother Jim: After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the
-
Brother Jim: local high school.
-
Brother Jim: Yes, he replied.
-
Brother Jim: When did you graduate?
-
Brother Jim: I asked.
-
Brother Jim: He answered in nineteen fifty three.
-
Brother Jim: Why were you in my class?
-
Brother Jim: I exclaimed.
-
Brother Jim: He looked at me closely and then asked, what did you teach?
-
David: Ouch ouch.
-
Brother Jim: Ouch. Yes. And unfortunately, you know, I was a bit older when
-
Brother Jim: we had Ellie, so I have been hit up at times.
-
Brother Jim: Is this your grandpa?
-
David: I've gotten that one too.
-
Brother Jim: Thanks, man.
-
David: Thanks.
-
David: Made me feel really good.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Carrie, am I old?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, babe.
-
Brother Jim: You are.
-
Brother Jim: Why did you marry an old man?
-
Brother Jim: Uh.
-
Brother Jim: Alrighty.
-
Brother Jim: Our thought for today, a Christian with integrity does
-
Brother Jim: the right thing.
-
Brother Jim: Not for praise, but because it honors God.
-
Brother Jim: So right off the bat, right out of the stables.
-
Brother Jim: Let me ask you something.
-
Brother Jim: Right out of the chute.
-
Brother Jim: What is integrity to you?
-
Brother Jim: What is integrity to you now?
-
Brother Jim: Integrity means being the same
-
Brother Jim: person in private that you are
-
Brother Jim: in public.
-
Brother Jim: It is choosing what is right even when no one is watching.
-
Brother Jim: Now Proverbs eleven three.
-
Brother Jim: The Bible says the integrity of
-
Brother Jim: the upright guides them, but the
-
Brother Jim: unfaithful are destroyed by
-
Brother Jim: their duplicity.
-
Brother Jim: Integrity acts like a compass.
-
Brother Jim: It keeps our lives, our mind, our heart, our actions pointed
-
Brother Jim: in the right direction.
-
Brother Jim: A powerful example of integrity is Daniel.
-
Brother Jim: Even when he was in a foreign land, he was a foreigner and
-
Brother Jim: under pressure, extreme pressure to abandon his faith.
-
Brother Jim: He remained faithful to God because of his integrity.
-
Brother Jim: God honored him and protected him.
-
Brother Jim: Now think about that old Daniel.
-
Brother Jim: He was facing a serious and the lion's den.
-
David: Oh, yeah?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. Now, I don't know about you, dude.
-
Brother Jim: I've always had this on my bucket list to wrestle a bear.
-
Brother Jim: But a lion?
-
Brother Jim: I don't think.
-
David: So.
-
Brother Jim: I'm not a betting man, but I
-
Brother Jim: would definitely put my money on
-
Brother Jim: the line.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: I love watching those guys to keep those exotic animals.
-
Brother Jim: And there's one guy in particular.
-
Brother Jim: He is just amazing how he is part of their pride.
-
Brother Jim: He goes into that fence and I
-
Brother Jim: mean, it's like a homecoming,
-
Brother Jim: you know, and and they just
-
Brother Jim: trust him.
-
Brother Jim: He he lays with them.
-
Brother Jim: He plays with them.
-
Brother Jim: I mean, it's just blows my mind.
-
Brother Jim: But the funny thing is he was on
-
Brother Jim: the inside and the camera guy
-
Brother Jim: started to walk up on the
-
Brother Jim: outside.
-
Brother Jim: Flip the switch, brother.
-
Brother Jim: That line went from like, uh, to sheepish line.
-
Brother Jim: I don't know if you remember
-
Brother Jim: that Disney story, but it was
-
Brother Jim: on.
-
David: Yeah, I'm like.
-
Brother Jim: But that guy, I mean, he just unbelievable.
-
Brother Jim: He'll sleep with him.
-
Brother Jim: He naps with him because he they've accepted him.
-
Brother Jim: He even gets down and like drinks like him.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: And he'll prank him.
-
Brother Jim: Now, I don't know about you,
-
Brother Jim: David, but would you prank a
-
Brother Jim: lion?
-
David: No.
-
Brother Jim: He. It's part of their playful nature.
-
Brother Jim: I mean, it's awesome to watch, but.
-
Brother Jim: No. So, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Daniel Mann, uh, the dude.
-
Brother Jim: Definitely some serious machismo, but better yet, some
-
Brother Jim: serious faith in his God.
-
Brother Jim: Integrity is not about being perfect.
-
Brother Jim: It is about being honest and consistent.
-
Brother Jim: Now, honest inconsistency that goes a long ways in this world.
-
Brother Jim: Because man lies, lies, lies.
-
Brother Jim: So many times We encounter.
-
Brother Jim: Are you a faithful person?
-
Brother Jim: Are you an honest person?
-
Brother Jim: AM I. Are we consistent in our walk with God?
-
Brother Jim: Are we consistent with our integrity?
-
Brother Jim: And you know what, Brother Jim?
-
Brother Jim: Not.
-
Brother Jim: Not that I was bad.
-
Brother Jim: Bad.
-
Brother Jim: But you know that old saying, a
-
Brother Jim: little white lie sometimes
-
Brother Jim: isn't, you know, going to cause
-
Brother Jim: damage?
-
Brother Jim: Well, I hate to tell you, it does.
-
Brother Jim: It really does.
-
Brother Jim: And you know, the one thing I've seen, I've experienced not so
-
Brother Jim: much personally, but I've seen the the ripple effect of how one
-
Brother Jim: lie turns into another.
-
Brother Jim: Lie turns into another lie.
-
Brother Jim: And soon you forget where the lie even started.
-
Brother Jim: You know, it grows and it grows.
-
Brother Jim: Till it becomes a part of you.
-
Brother Jim: It means integrity.
-
Brother Jim: Means our words match our actions.
-
Brother Jim: And our faith shows how we live every day.
-
Brother Jim: Ultimately, our greatest example
-
Brother Jim: is Jesus Christ, who lived a
-
Brother Jim: life of perfect truth and
-
Brother Jim: righteousness.
-
Brother Jim: now.
-
Brother Jim: When we follow him.
-
Brother Jim: When we don't follow the world, we don't follow social media.
-
Brother Jim: We don't follow our celebrities.
-
Brother Jim: He helps us live with integrity
-
Brother Jim: in our homes, workplaces, and
-
Brother Jim: communities.
-
Brother Jim: Now, there are a lot of good celebrities out there who are
-
Brother Jim: faith driven, faith based.
-
Brother Jim: God bless them.
-
Brother Jim: And I'm not ripping them, okay?
-
Brother Jim: But like anything in life,
-
Brother Jim: you've got the good, you've got
-
Brother Jim: the bad.
-
Brother Jim: So that is our job, especially
-
Brother Jim: as parents and grandparents, to
-
Brother Jim: make sure we are filtering the
-
Brother Jim: truth.
-
Brother Jim: And when I say filtering the
-
Brother Jim: stuff that comes in to protect
-
Brother Jim: our children, to make them aware
-
Brother Jim: there are people who will lie to
-
Brother Jim: you.
-
Brother Jim: There are people who will stretch the truth to gain a
-
Brother Jim: position, to gain something better for them.
-
Brother Jim: That is where integrity takes hold.
-
Brother Jim: That has to be taught.
-
Brother Jim: I am sorry, but that has to be taught to our children to have
-
Brother Jim: integrity because No one might not be looking.
-
Brother Jim: That might be true.
-
Brother Jim: But you know what?
-
Brother Jim: There's always someone watching.
-
Brother Jim: And all you gotta do is raise your head and look above.
-
Brother Jim: And it's the Lord Jesus is always watching.
-
Brother Jim: So let me ask you, how many of
-
Brother Jim: us here live with integrity in
-
Brother Jim: our homes, our workplaces, our
-
Brother Jim: communities, in our church, in
-
Brother Jim: our church?
-
Brother Jim: It just doesn't end when the
-
Brother Jim: service ends on a Sunday
-
Brother Jim: morning.
-
Brother Jim: I pray that when you walk out
-
Brother Jim: that door, that integrity, that
-
Brother Jim: humility stays with you
-
Brother Jim: throughout the week, including
-
Brother Jim: myself.
-
Brother Jim: So let us ask God to shape our hearts so that we what we say,
-
Brother Jim: what we believe, and what we do all line up with his truth.
-
Brother Jim: Because a life of integrity not only honors God, it also becomes
-
Brother Jim: a powerful, powerful, powerful witness to others.
