[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]
Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show
[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]
JOSEPH M LENARD: Hello everybody welcome to another special edition of ChristiTutionalist Politics for those of you looking on the behind-the-scenes Video version you can see I'm wearing my very wrinkled Dunk it out of the back of the closet for this episode beyond the mass theater captain shirt Back several years. I don't even remember what year that Christian studio burns family studio here in Michigan Film came out. I love that film wanted to help promote it So I became a theater captain as well as my background Projected on my green screen. I see what I did there. We're talking movies So got to get a theater pun in there. I see you can see the MJR theaters Epic theater picture I took of the epic theater over at my MJR theaters here in Michigan Southgate Michigan next to me Joining me to talk movies Today is Don Galade and before I get we get into movies I got a joke with you there you who share the same first name You don't really look a lot like them, but for some reason I've now got Don Johnson's I'm looking for a heart beat
DON GALADE: Wish I had his money
JOSEPH M LENARD: Yeah, absolutely you and me bold. Hey, call me Rick Warren So at any rate that's an inside joke for regular listeners because I've developed that as my verbal Segway crutch at any rate Yeah to talk about movies. Oh, oh, well, we have before before I go any further also I'm clicking on the visual effects button Rolling down just to be silly Now I've got the 3D movie theater goggle Filter on the video So are you ready to be both serious and silly with me Don?
DON GALADE: Sure Oh, I'm sorry sarcasm and my family is is graded so That's that's that's what I pride myself
JOSEPH M LENARD: We will of course talk about your book towards the end, but mostly we're here to talk about Movies I had several pieces that weren't Christitutional politics Podcast shows but the Liberty Beacon pieces that are always Corresponding nowadays with my CTP shows One was called Let's all go to the lobby for some snacks and politics You know nice. Yeah, yeah play on the old Let's all go to the lobby dancing candy concessions ad as well as movies and politics to and Music and TV as well as additional movies and politics which was like part three So now with all that out of the way what's actually talk about some movies? But start I guess with Christian movies a couple of my favorites beyond the mass one of them Because like my terror strikes coming soon to a city near you book. It's historical fiction or as I call it faction It blends Historical relevant items. It's about an assassination attempt on George Washington Great film and an actual British citizen actually that helps spoil it, but my two favorite Christian Movie studio films are risen Not to be confused with risen the sci-fi movie risen about the Crucifixion death and resurrection of Christ Through the eyes of a Roman soldier that to me is a wonderful film because It gives us an interesting different story telling method there through the eyes of the Roman soldier who then Become to believer. Did you see that film?
DON GALADE: I I did and you know, it's what's interesting is
many years ago there was a a park in Florida Called the Holy Land experience it was right next to Disney World and we were in Disney World one day And I had it up to here with the mouse so like we're looking for something to do and often at distance as we see this dome and We drove down there and and and this is before they were bought out by TBN so they were really really really Scaled back and there was a play that we saw and the play was it was just called the centurion and The play Consisted of six people that was the whole cast You know, there was no, you know, it was low budget as far as their there, you know, what they can afford So I didn't mean low budget. I mean that but it there was a six member cast and no band. So what was karaoke tapes? Um, but the it was about the centurion who physically put the spear into Christ I was I I was floored by this little play and then when we talk about this particular film I think that just played right into it because because that that film had a that the play had such an impact on me And my kids who are babies at the time. So I just thought it was awesome. Yeah, risen the film is
JOSEPH M LENARD: Basically Centurion the play more or less that you saw which is perfect. Oh, we couldn't have scripted this another movie pun Any better Well, we gotta get credit where it's Another one But a good perfect segue to my second most favorite film Which is the resurrection of Gavin Stone now. I know there will be some people upset Oh my god, you can't use that word resurrection in there. It's blasphemous Right the whole point is to not preach to the choir to deliver a comedy that's still Christian based to deliver the word to those outside the face and I think it does a great job of that and The script is all about a disgraced actor forced into doing community service serving at a church community center who is putting on a play About the resurrection had you met them? I have I have and I thought I thought it was awesome
DON GALADE: Now I come from I'm old school. Okay, so I We grew up in an Italian household. So naturally we were catholic Later in life we switch teams and we became Protestant and two of my kids are Protestant ministers and I will we'll talk about some of the stuff I've done in a minute, but um We we have a you know a real kind of costal family So I find it interesting when you can actually you know I can relate to not only the the main character in the film because of my you know before I had a real good relationship with Christ kind of I was there. I was that guy But I can also relate to the pastor of the church because Because one of the things that I had issues with are some of these mega churches with you know People repelling down in the middle of worship with cameras And so I sorry I you know, there's the Italian thing I talk to my hand so I not thought I might so
JOSEPH M LENARD: I'm part Italian too. I do that too for those of you who see The video behind the scenes you see is both flailing our arms about that's the Italian in us And don't knock his earbuds out there, but anyway continue
DON GALADE: So but but at that point I can I can kind of relate to the to the main character as well as the pastor as well as the the the you know the the person who was in charge who was as so um, you know, so scripted and so Almost legalistic you know the the sidekick if you will and the girl who played the uh organizer of the whole church So I thought it was fun. I just thought it was it was a cool message You know if Jesus came back right now, he's not going to church He he's going where the sinners are he's going where the people need him. He didn't come for a dead church He came for to bring a kingdom and the kingdom is for the lost So, you know, we need to get over ourselves sometimes, you know, it's like, you know You can have fun and still be a Christian you can you can you can do things in the world Just don't be of the world, you know, I think I just think sometimes people need to just Dude to relax, you know, like like I think Jesus has a sense of humor I think God is a sense of humor I know because he talks to me sometimes very sarcastically because the only thing I understand
JOSEPH M LENARD: a Man, uh this episode You know going on movies. I I didn't know How good this would come across for the christitucianist audience This alone so far Has made this worth the effort because I hear what you're saying and like my book terror strikes coming soon to a city near you It's a christian book now obviously not your normal traditional fluffy book It's correct. It's meant to reach and preach outside the choir
DON GALADE: Now I got a trump card that I've been holding out on you um because Um, I don't know if it was in my bio and where you and I were introduced, but I actually produced a christian movie Oh, no, I didn't see that. Uh-huh. See and it's called the voice of john And you can you can find it on amazon Uh the voice of john you can actually go to the voice of john Dot org and you'll find the behind the scenes the website the story behind the voice of john is this um many many years ago Um, my my oldest son who is a minister of a church is 28. I think yeah 28 Well before he was born when my wife was pregnant We learned about this whole abortion thing where like naive thinking like oh my god. We got to stop this We we got to do something here, right As I said naive, but we found this pro life group We joined the pro life group and you know when you miss a meeting you become the vice president of the group and before you know it I'm in charge of running the buses to washington every year for the pro life barter So So log story short we decided we're going to make a film about the march And this person who was my best friend marionne marion lawhan l-a-w-h-o-n Y'all ask to nawce to google her because she is technically the voice of john But what the story was about marionne was a nurse retired nurse. She's a couple years old than me Uh marionne was a retired nurse, but in 1976. She was a brand new nurse She stumbles across a baby On what's called a dirty utility Cable and the baby was alive, but it was a botched abortion. They laid this child there to die marionne was blown away also at naive young kid at the time. How can this be? What is this abortion thing? And she held the baby and she said I baptize you john and I will tell the world your story That's where it became the voice of john now ironically 40 is a real big number with god 40 years later. We made this phone Okay now in the voice of john's film. It is a pro life message We tried so hard to have the other side Represented in the film to explain their position. We tried I invited people they won't do it No, but here's what's sad That's not sad that they will do it. It's sad that the people that we ran into while we were filming We were in seven states in this film what could be was in it. We got an interview with huckabee Uh, we got an interview with dr. Martin Luther king's niece dr alvated king Uh perry stonne great evangelist he's on it father frank bavon who was a catholic priest who was actually defrocked by the pope Because he was too pro life. Love him. Okay I mean these these people were are in this film. You got to check it out These people would also be great on your show by the way um But the point is we tried to have the opposition in the film And even the people that we met along the way just the rank if all people protesting You know, they couldn't complete a thought without the f-word. All right, I'll welcome your opinion But can you can you have some class? Can you have some? Um, can you at least you know, you don't kiss your mama with that mouth even though you're protesting the fact that your mom had a baby So at least at least oh, I'll take the lures they've been vain for because i'm not going to use that in my film So the net net is in this project. We covered all of the quote unquote The classic things that people say when they're when they're pro abortion like what about rape People that is a young girl who was raped and had the baby. We had her story What up, man? We had a young girl, uh, Melissa oden who actually survived And abortion she's a couple of years younger than me beautiful woman. She has an amazing story actually preached to congress I've been told this film the voice of john Has been shown to both houses of congress at least the opening trailer I was just I just learned this a couple weeks ago if they would have reached out to me Me or maria or both would have went in gladly position. You know, it's had our our our peace to say In front of congress, but if they know anything about me, they probably said we don't want the schmuck in congress talking to us
JOSEPH M LENARD: So it's probably why i wasn't invited but anyway, that's why you're on this show instead right indeed Indeed i woke up mucks That's awesome. I even had an atheist on so you know i'll talk to anybody
DON GALADE: Hey, you know, sometimes atheists are more seeker sensitive than some of the The righteous people i've met
JOSEPH M LENARD: Okay, and we discussed that in the show Atheists some of them. Hey, I am to love them doesn't mean I can deal with them But some of them sure I can't like pen of pen and tell her it's great There are fellow Christians. I want nothing to do with they're just so Out there you can't deal with them. I love them to death But can't deal with them. Thank you for also making that point
DON GALADE: Yeah, I mean god wants all of us to be saved and god wants all of us to be in heaven Now that's not gonna happen But you know our job while we have flesh on our bones and breath in our lungs is to do stuff like this And you know my wife went to africa years ago on a missions trip My son was in like six or seven different countries doing mission strips And and they they you have to meet the people where they're at You can't show up To in kenya With your american ideals and values and expect these people to just welcome you with open arms You have to you have to meet them where they're at and you know the interesting thing with with the whole africa thing I mean These people understand covenant because they're tribal and when you explain to them the covenant of christ they immediately get it And they are seeing Miracles in africa that we don't see in america or some of the other Christianized countries because the believers don't necessarily fully some Most don't fully understand covenant and once you understand covenant you are One with the lord and you are one with christ and you fully get it And now all the privileges that he said all of the things that he promised all of the greater things than he did that We're supposed to do you see the people the dead coming to life And you see arms and legs growing back that happens in africa It's not happening in the united states because we're too worried about the musics too loud We're too worried about what the person's wearing we're too worried about you're in my parking spot or you're in my pew Come
JOSEPH M LENARD: All right, this show I'm still in my first season. So I try not to go real long because to a Before you're not a long time To invite new viewers use it, you know today's to water attention span I call it You need things to be shorter for people to give you give you that first shot So I I don't go too long, but before we move to secular movies You hinted a bit at your background. Let's indeed Talk about you what indeed is Don go age of life and background
DON GALADE: Well, ironically, I'm a financial advisor. That's what pays the bills. Uh, oh, I need you to work on my portfolio
JOSEPH M LENARD: Oh, yeah, that's
DON GALADE: You know my wife has relations gotten in vichigan. She's never met me. We'll fly out. Right? But anyway Um I was a musician my whole life third generation musician my dad worked up patty clime, right? I mean like old schooled stuff, right? Um, I stumbled into a church one day Just like becoming vice president of the pro life group They found out I was a piano player the next week I was in the worship team And we started doing Christian music. It was a lot of fun and from there That's where the whole you know, pentecostal gene was infused into our bodies and you know, we became, you know, we're right But I my wife was in Africa at a mission stripped of you know 15 years ago And I'm just playing mr Mom because you know we host we homeschooled she homeschooled I bought the books So she's home. I was playing mr Mom I'm scrolling through the channels and and I'm watching all the country The Christian channels on the satellite dish which which is horrible anyway, but I'm going low quality
JOSEPH M LENARD: You know, good intention, but so poor quality. Yeah, thank you. Thank you
DON GALADE: I'm concerned about the lighting for this and you know, and I'm just this little square in your corner, but anyway Um, we're we're watching this this Guy talk about money. I'm like, oh, I clicked the next channel. There's another guy talking about money Another guy talking about my and finally I said god, what's up? You know, I deal with money all day long the kids are in bed, you know, like what what's that? I felt the Holy Spirit and nudge being and say I want you to write a book and I was like I've never read one and you want me to write one and I just opened up the laptop It started typing and that's where in god. We trust the dollar. We worship came from my first book which became a bestseller Um, actually actually you can go to in the dollar. We worship.com And you'll you'll see it and it was basically a book about what god says about money And I was intrigued to find when I started doing my homework God talks about money more than he talks about heaven hell and salvation And it is intriguing And i'm going to let your listeners in on a little secret money's not evil And money money is not the root of all evil Because everybody says that they leave out on very very very important word the love of money Is the root of all evil that changes everything That set me on a rabbit trail to start studying scriptures more Intently and realizing all of these things that people say Changing everything that i've heard true, but yet we've learned too We've learned to believe it that leads me into the book I released two weeks ago Or excuse me two months ago a woken which is a spoof off the word woke if you go to a hyphen woken.com That's all about that book which basically ties everything you're not supposed to talk about at a holiday dinner all together politics government money god and Maybe something else up let me know that we're not supposed to talk about. Oh, yeah relation relationships So all of that ties together in my book awoken And ironically all the conspiracy theories that we were taught all of our tire lives A lot of them are mentioned in the book of revelation just not as a conspiracy theory Pretty funny
JOSEPH M LENARD: Yeah, oh again. We couldn't have scripted this better You're talking about The love of money what people do with money is bible not the money itself And the whole point and purpose in my calling to do Christetucious politics Is that so many people have fallen into the worldly traps? They have gotten away from the bible and indeed the twisting and distortion Of the bible scriptures out of context Absolutely. We need to put the whole bible in context together To shape our worldview Not unlike Pick catholics i'm born and raised catholic Pick catholics Baidom and piglosey who are of the world and try to twist Jesus was not a socialist correct Community as a micro issue is biblical communism Oh my phone's ringing because i forgot to unplug it It happens every time i forget to unplug the phone but hell that is what it is
DON GALADE: You can't even hear it
JOSEPH M LENARD: So goes like oh that's good. Well i gave away that it's ringing. Yeah, well whoever's calling i'll call you back But anyway, yeah twisting and distorting scriptures To justify their worldliness Rather it's like i say and i'm going to upset people in this audience I coined the tag Ninkum Pope for frankly Oh It's why i'm not a member of the night to columbus anymore I do not abide by the you can't criticize the pope. He's just a man. I wish no man He is more interested in communism than Catholicism
DON GALADE: Correct Because gaxley Catholicism the word Does it mean catholic like the religion? It means a united group the catholic one apostolic catholic faith It means one group, you know when we get to heaven someday We're all going to be fellow shipping together in front of our lord And you know, there's not a catholic section and a Protestant section in a jewish section All right when you get to the pearly gates the only thing you're going to hear is smoking or non Okay And and that is based off the choices you made while you're down here good versus evil It's that simple and the problem is and i cover this a lot in my book of wokening a woken And The enemy which of course is satan has done everything he can to kill destroy and separate All of us on earth from the family to the church These seven pillars that he has infiltrated religion is one and in the end times I am a Huge fan of the book of revelation as a studying tool and a lot of people don't understand it And I invite you to you know, check out perry stone He has the most incredible teachings on this and and Peristone org or voice of evangelism is his ministry great great teaching i've been studying his his teachings on Revelation for over a decade and you know what's interesting as catholics died. I was raised catholic So i'll say this in that terminology as catholics We were kind of taught. Oh, it's old testament. Oh, that's new testament And you know what the first thing you got to do that little page that separates the old and in the testament rip it out The reason why people don't understand the book of revelation is they don't understand the old testament and the revelation is the Revealing the apokolups the apokolips like my my greek is a little rusty. So that's all greek to me anyway, but i Thanks i'll be here all week. But the point is You we have to understand what's talking about the old testament that's being revealed in the new testament And when you realize that and then you realize that in the end times which we are in the earth is Travailing the earth is it's it's where it's like the the birth pains if you will Because the closer a woman gets the giving labor the the contractions become more painful and more readily connected So the point is this there will be a one world government there will be a new world order There will be a one world currency There will be a government system Based on these 10 kings that answer to the antichrist who will indeed be the ruler of it all On all of the conspiracy theories that talk about this Buried in the illuminati buried in the scallen bones group and buried in the free masons and buried Even in the nights of columbus on all of this conspiracy theory stuff was used by the enemy to keep us separated You're a tittin hack conspiracy theorist. So what do you and anything that's saying you can do to keep us separated from the real truth And ultimately That is the problem And I say it this way as well the church has become woke because the church is watering down the gospel And the church is standing up there more concerned about the tithing more concerned about who the how the worship sounds And the guys were pulling down with cameras and the production and and they're more worried about putting on a show Then they are worrying about saying look Jesus came for the lost we have to preach to the lost Not preach to the guy that's given 25% of his income any happens to make 500,000 a year so we can't defend him. Yeah, sorry
JOSEPH M LENARD: I'm glad you went there because you mentioned old testament I want to address that before we'll go on to secular movies even though this is a christian show I love secular movies. They're great. I love I love sci-fi and a lot of times sci-fi movies bring religion into the question so they're great, but Jesus and again, there's going to be some people get their panties in a bunch Sorry Christians who think the old testament was replaced or supplanted By christ and the new church No, there's a reason the old and new Tisdemates exist in the bible together. Jesus was a Jew who came to fulfill right the scriptures and Prophecy of the Old Testament to fulfill it not supplanted
DON GALADE: Great. I was in Israel two years ago Um with peristone. He is a great great great ministry and there was over 600 people in this in this tour If you will and I walked where Jesus walked I stood were just in some of the areas where Jesus stands and here's this is the one thing that
JOSEPH M LENARD: And best we understand it all these years later. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, they show you power oxen said
DON GALADE: That's mary magnolence house. I'll take your word for it But if I'm in the dead see if I'm on the sea a galley, there's only one of each of those and yeah So so like, you know not the whole Protestant Catholic was did Jesus die here? Did he die there and and a tour guide was awesome because she said who cares? You're you're walking where Jesus walks stop the arguing over dump things So what if he died a mile over this way dial her out? He died here for you, okay? so absolutely My point was this this was the most revealing thing that I ever ever ever And and and it was probably the thing that changed my life forever even being a Catholic being a Protestant, you know, Roman cathasism protest the news and whatever you want to call it Prof like is my wife called it because we were both but the point was this we were standing Overlooking the valley of the gito, which is where the battle of army get in the will take place It's beautiful lush lush land. This is where it ends for Satan. We were standing there Looking at it now if you looked to your right up on a hill that was Nazareth That's where Jesus was born So every morning maybe he looked out his window and saw the piece of land where he knew he was it was gonna end But here's the thing that changed my life forever You know the scriptures where Jesus is preaching to his own people or a prophet's not welcoming their hometown And they wanted to throw him down off of a mountain. That's the mountain They wanted to throw him off the mountain if they succeeded he would have landed on the piece of land Where he will vanquish the antique where he would vanguard Satan and the antichrist He would have been killed on the same piece of land. That's how calculated The enemy is and I thought wow if he could calculate that to come after our lord What chance do we have to worry about some of the junk we worry about? People say christian shouldn't do this christian shouldn't do it. You know what Christianity means I believe in Christ it doesn't mean I have to look dressed at a certain way if I truly believe in Christ and yes, what I will Look and react a certain way because I understand the covenant. Yeah
JOSEPH M LENARD: You're so spot on again. Helena mother of Constantine who Is the founder of the holy role moment catholic church? establishment, you know She may not have gotten everything right. I don't care you're right To our whether the church is a holy sap secular There you know, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah The brain is there It's awesome. That's whether that is 100% accurate or not the point is the remembering that the symbology What it points you to not the symbology itself
DON GALADE: Correct. Correct. You know, you don't worship the the creation You worship the create poor. Yeah, and and that's what I learned and I'll tell you know When you read the bible from not a jewish perspective but understanding their culture Right now. This is what ties into your secular movie topic when you understand the jewish culture You can understand a lot about the bible because you understand that it was written initially to the jewish people You know, so things like Aren't there 12 hours in a day? And you think well wait a minute. There's 24 hours We know in their culture there was still 24 hours in a day But they only cared about though the minute you woke up that a minute you went to sleep the 12 hours you worked All right. So when you understand, oh, it's cool. That's where you get the whole three days in the pit of and after the crucifixion because it's from sundown persona But anyway, you know you talk about secular movies having a underlying theme something I don't know if you've ever thought of star wars You got an emperor? Yeah Okay, you've got this one world Government trying to impose its wishes and its desires You've got good versus evil. So There I say I'm not saying star wars is a faith-based film
JOSEPH M LENARD: All right, but it kind of is
DON GALADE: But my son the pastor has read now there's like five months 5060 books or something on star wars if you're really into the actual reading them all he ran them all And he was the one that pointed this out to me. I was scratching my head saying, you know, like kid You got it all wrong and I was like, whoa He's right and we know when you know who Jesus is
JOSEPH M LENARD: You'll find them everywhere. Well, that's like, uh, oh god who The wardrobe She is Lewis The witch in the wardrobe. Yeah, love it. Right again. It was Christianity Presented to non-cristions, right? It's and and I'm more star track than I am star wars I am too and this isn't a movie. I love the star track movies By the way, but the star track episode that is one of my favorites is the sun And all about them Misconceiving they're worshiping the sun and the sky and it's revealed at the end And Jesus appeared on another planet The son of god is who they're worshiping Sure, they dared broach that topic
DON GALADE: And how many people get it not even the trickeys get that
JOSEPH M LENARD: Now so my favorite secular movie of all time is from rolyn emmert who is of Star gate independent state the day after tomorrow, which no, it's not a climate-tired movie It's just that it provided a
DON GALADE: I would have met you before I wrote the book though. I climb I would have used I would have named the chapter that that is so
JOSEPH M LENARD: Good. Yeah, that's worth the price of admission today. Yeah, but yeah the day after tomorrow rolyn emmert is not one of those people It's just hey, it provided a great dramatic sci-fi movie opportunity and you know all other movies of his Although he did a Shakespeare one that oh god did that stinks But rolyn emmert is like my favorite director and he did the matrix Before the matrix now quite out of you it was to do trilogy before that ever came along a much more viable believable matrix movie called the 13th floor because Based on the book. Yeah based on the book stimulus crown three, which I've got 1960s again like gait gee wealth just wave before it's time Yeah, because think today your computer stem city virtual reality goggles Literally being able to download yourself into your sim city the sims sims don't know their sims But the 13th floor shows you today's reality Now, yeah, obviously there's some over the top ridiculous Not non-believable nonsense, but that aspect is doable today
DON GALADE: I wrote a chapter a whole chapter in my book And it's basically a chapter on life imitating art and art imitating life And you know, that's something that's been said also taken out of context by the way But something that's been said many many many many times And I draw the analogy even though i'm not a fan of the show And I don't necessarily promote the show, but there's something you cannot deny and that's the simsons and their so-called conspiracies that they've been revealing and you know Maybe it's dumb luck. I don't think so I think ultimately in my opinion and I've written it this way in my opinion is that the enemy has to Telegraph his next move for the folks that believe in karma Okay, because karma means if you know it'll come back on you So they telegraph their next move and ironically Some of the things we see in the film and in the music industry and and and even even even in print Are telegraphing? Truly what's kind of not been so you could look at a film or a movie or or a tv series And and not like this Disney stuff where the dad is automatically an idiot and the family has to be divorced and all of this stuff that You know that they they want to portray but you can see The good versus evil divide and you could see in all of the film the media dare I say the news And ultimately They want to program us And I say they because they is the ultimate conspiracy because they is everybody who is not a believer
JOSEPH M LENARD: Yeah, yeah I'm glad you mentioned karma I one of my favorite musical artists is rick Springfield and yeah, I know I wish I had just Yo, my god, that's the worst song you ever loved. I did. I was it with jesse's girl looks like that everybody talks
Yeah, it's cute. It's clever. It's catchy, but it's the worst damn song he ever wrote But without that he wouldn't be where he is today My favorite album from him is shot denial anger acceptance based on the theory of mourning Which I have a piece of bringing someone to their political awakening is like mourning You've got to bring them through the stages. They're going to be shocked They're going to want to denial you got to make them angry to then be angry at the right people Bring them to acceptance, but he has an album called karma and one of my favorite songs is prayer Uh, which is kind of his michael jackson man in the mirror Hey, uh, songs, you know, you want to start? Look at yourself, right? I pray to god and heaven to be a better man than the man I see but the karma line is Like every river runs to the scene. You know what I believe every little bit of love I give to another you know what I believe it comes back to me Right karma is not an anti-antithatical to christianity thought That's the reason I bring it up because people think that if you talk karma or heaven forbid The bible doesn't preclude re-imitation people
DON GALADE: it doesn't Yeah, but the bible talks about doing to others as you would have the bible talks about Bringing things into the storehouse the bible talks about about receiving what from from your giving You know and and the bible also doesn't mention the words trinity or rapture So there's a lot of stuff that the bible does it say that do exist now I didn't mean to say that that karma exists but ultimately the concept of If i'm going to be a jerk i'm probably going to have a lot of jerks in my in my life okay, if i'm going to produce Fruit then the abundance of fruit that i'm producing is going to bring a harvest of fruit into my life and into my family So once again good versus evil ultimately everything everything Everything whether it's print whether it's media whether it's news whether it's music whether it's podcast Everything in the planet boils down to Good versus evil and when you start with adam and eve here's the piece i want to i want to i want to Bring to people who may or may not know christ when you start with adam and eve which is the old destiny um When you start with adam and eve Adam named every animal that exists right it says that so here comes saint and he's a serpent and he he could talk And obviously he wasn't slithering around yet But adam named everything now here's this dude thing whatever and in zikl it tells us he was beautiful and stunning and awful Jewels and rhinestones and all these different you know emeralds where is this thing talking to him? He didn't name it He never met it before now there's two people on the earth and this thing and this thing is talking to them And if that thing can convince adam and eve through this flamboyant Easygoing Charismatic articulate. Yep. They're by the grace of god go i and ultimately it boils down to It says in the scriptures Even the elect may be deceived. So Submittedly, it's good versus evil in abbary Thing and if you can use a secular piece of of art or or or whatever To show somebody The opposite of what christ is about some of them are not taking the Lord's name and man and it gives it It's yeah And you can be entertained by something that's secular without having to you know Have all of this legalism in your heart as long as they're not Disrespecting our lord within it
JOSEPH M LENARD: Exactly exactly like people that were a lot of catholics that went out and uh Boycodding we're picketing dan browns. Uh, what was Oh the thing where jesus married mary magdalene or yeah, whatever that movie what you know I love the dan brown books. I like the dan brown based movies I don't have a problem with them. You know again I see them as entertainment for what they are and there can be some grains of truth in there That he absolutely hum fiction off of all right and we
DON GALADE: Thing on the planet has any grain of truth or a thread of truth and and everything can have it now quickly I wonder if I want to bring this up. I'm a huge huge fan of the chosen series and
JOSEPH M LENARD: Yeah, that's popular
DON GALADE: the the most recent Um series they've released in them in the movies. I understand that they need to raise money and then i'll tell you what What I love and then he brings it because there was a lot of friends that I have both catholic and proddest and initially Until they realized this was the rage and everybody was talking about it like Taylor swift That all of a sudden they're saying like oh this this isn't right. This is right. Jesus is telling jokes He's meant to jokes. Okay So like really and and they're like, you know, jesus is sarcastic jesus is sarcasm. Oh, but the point that I make is this it shows the interaction of the disciples and Nothing touches on that ever and you know shows them fighting it shows them clowning around it shows them getting mad at each other Well, duh, they're people they got flesh on their bones and they're reacting exact same way people react and I found it to be so both entertaining action enlightenment and Teaching at the same exact time. I think it's the perfect mixture of everything. We just talked about
JOSEPH M LENARD: Yeah, oh Hopefully everybody stayed tuned in to this point Right thinking you know uh movies. I don't want to hear a process and this thing didn't yeah I don't want to hear them talk about movies, but those of you who stuck with us You see why I'm doing a movie episode It relates to a whole lot of other stuff now you mentioned two things that I want to go back to now You mentioned rapture or rapturo Whatever now all different christian sex Some believe rapture is going to happen some believe It's a more recent invention of the evangelism and you know, and I I'm not taking the position one way or the other I can see why god needs to raise military aged male Transported maybe you know uh Star-track style to then train to come back to actually fight other flesh and blood Uh, so if only military aged males are raptured, uh, it would make sense But also I could see the argument that it doesn't it is also a sign in miracle It makes sense I am preparing you you can't deny people vanish as a sign in miracle But I can also see at the same time that well You want us to fight for you. We can't fight for you if you took us away Kind of so that the rapture doesn't make I can see both sides. Well, let me but I can answer I talked to jeff jones a pastor friend of mine And the christmas special that I did it came up Uh a very different kind of christmas episode so check that out, but what were you gonna say?
DON GALADE: well When we talk about when I learned about abortion and there was all of this Data that I was given by the pro-abortion world I believed it and it wasn't until I learned the truth that I was able to combat That that line of thinking now the bible is written in Hebrew greek and aromatic i'm gonna give you the example and then i'm gonna finish my point
JOSEPH M LENARD: Let's take even just saying that's gonna piss off some people One and one written in english, especially One and over
DON GALADE: Now in let's take the scripture where jesus and peter are having this interaction after he was you know risen from the dead And he says peter d love me and jesus and peter says of course, lord I love you and he asked some that question three times and we read that and go Get it now
JOSEPH M LENARD: 10 times
DON GALADE: Now in jewish Culture Everybody gerry jewish mill aspired to be a rabbi Okay, you could be a rabbi to your third number one That's why jesus was 30 when you started his ministry and You aspired to be the rabbi and all of the disciples pretty much flunked on a rabbi school Real for real. It's true. Okay When a rabbi wants to bring a teacher on he says follow me and that Student then becomes a teacher of that rabbi. Okay now In this reaction jesus says do you love me now if you translate this back to greek jesus says to peter peter do you agape me and the word agape we cannot comprehend Agape is the only way that god can love us. We cannot love god the same way Only god can love via agape Iters answer is lord. I a feely all you a feely oh is where we get the word philadelphia means brotherly love So jesus says do you love me the way god loves you and peter says I love you the way I can love you He asks them again a second time peter do you agape me peter says lord. I a feely oh you So the third time and here's the clean the key the third time jesus says in in the greek when you translate it peter Do you affiliate me and peter says lord. I a feely oh you now knowing the difference between agape and a feely oh I'm putting it into the greek perspective. You can now look at that passage and go oh my god that makes sense Now the word rapture Doesn't exist in the bible And the reason why it has to do with the translation and the subtuigent that we don't have enough time to go through there
JOSEPH M LENARD: But the greefness episode we going all that
DON GALADE: Yeah But but there's scriptures that say in the twinkling of an eye and we're caught up in the salonians Now the key to the whole thing is this The second coming even those that don't agree about the rapture will agree there has to be a second time Now the second coming he comes back he comes back with 10 000s upon 10 000s upon 10 of the saints the saints are the people And catholicism a saint is different than the jewish term saint. It just means somebody who knows jesus and who amity was in the church But he comes back with the saints Now when you take the catholicism out of it and the saints mean the people we come back with him How do we come back with him if we weren't taken up
JOSEPH M LENARD: All right, unless it's so long before from the dead that's you know
DON GALADE: But that's not what it means when you translate that word into greek
JOSEPH M LENARD: Right, so we can't do all these things exactly sure
DON GALADE: But my point is this and I will irritate everybody with what i'm about to say There's no such thing as interpreting the bible. I'm going to say that again. There's this thing
JOSEPH M LENARD: There is misinterpreting it
DON GALADE: But there's not even a such a thing as interpreting people say well I interpreted it this way. What are you wrong? All right, here's why if you take the words that we have in english and you convert them back to greek And you see what the greek word is just like my analogy or you convert it back to hebrew and you see what the hebrew words are That's what was written You can't believe that jesus died for your sins and you're going to heaven Which is the most incredible miracle on the planet You can't believe that and then thing well, I don't know. I don't know rapture things a little far and fashioned And like you know you can't believe that you know, oh catholics believe that's the body of blood protest and stuff Oh my gosh. It's another thing that saying has Implanted for us to argue over and if we can argue we won't see the real truth. So here's my point So my brothers and sisters who don't believe in the rapture I'll save you see because i'm going out on the first boatload. Is it worth arguing over? No, it's the same thing as the church in holy seperca for the tomb. Where was he buried?
JOSEPH M LENARD: That's really bad. You're missing the point right you're falling for the trick of the division Right around togetherness and client you said that now the other point you made before Is there a book for the grace of god go I? That's my favorite stargate sg one episode Right and you can understand why Right these all tied together people. That's why we're doing this episode Anyway, we are now like 50 minutes in this is indeed a bit longer than I was hoping or expecting to go But that's what the show does rabbit holes opens We go down them. That's why right? Yeah So let's close it out Uh, maybe what's a secular movie you've recently seen you really like or We're going into blockbuster movie season coming up All on your the one you've seen preview for you're looking forward to
DON GALADE: Okay, I would have to say i'm old school And I would have to say Pads down my favorite secular film Is a never-ending story
JOSEPH M LENARD: Really? It's tied there so too. Yeah
DON GALADE: But here's here's what I loved about this film The nothing Was the enemy the nothing they never told you what the nothing was And so you realize the nothing was sadness the nothing was lack of hope the luck it the nothing This this thing was taking over now The scene where the little boy loses his horse in the mud is the most hard ripping story ever okay And I don't care if you didn't cry when you're watching that then you've got free honor in through your race But the point is When you realize what the nothing is and the nothing was overcome by a child a child What does jesus talk about the children? My whole life has been about trying to show people the errors of abortion And showing people about saving the children. It's ultimately about the babies It's ultimately about the children and it's like when you can see the big picture Anybody that could say I don't believe in jesus flam you got time Maybe
JOSEPH M LENARD: I don't know right no one's home the hour But hopefully you've got time but anyway, we did mention your books and of course I will put the links you mentioned I appreciate it So notes do you have and just a generic overall author site or Contact site that you want to put out there. I do if you go to dongalade.com
DON GALADE: Do n g a l a d e dot com. That's my My author page if you will The a hyphen awoke the a hyphen woken.com is for for all the books And uh, you know, I'm I'm honored to be included and I'm sorry I put you down these rabbit trails, but hey you invited me at your fault And I just someday if you it's the point. It's the ring
JOSEPH M LENARD: It's the reason I'm not here for me. I'm here for him And where where he thinks this should go is where it goes
DON GALADE: Absolutely and god that's a sense of humor That's the one thing I want to leave people with because um He created me and like that's that's yeah
JOSEPH M LENARD: I like I sent to humor as I can't say like I like to say about my books I I know you will feel the same whether you've expressed it this way My books are not from me or of me. They are Through me Yeah, that's awesome. I am just the one that typed it on to the page into This worldly existence it came from elsewhere
DON GALADE: I'm going to give you the analogy that I always use and you could feel free to steal this from me and use it And next podcast from people who never saw me before I'm just the paper boy. Yeah, there you go
JOSEPH M LENARD: Another great that is a good metaphor. Although I'd like to say I'm too good a writer I'm too clever for metaphors. I use meta sixes, but I'm bummed
DON GALADE: I want my two dollars talking about it. All right
JOSEPH M LENARD: And any rate there's that crutch again and I jokingly say it for On purpose now as I dig it myself again. Yes. God has a sense of we need to maintain a sense of humor Even in terror strikes coming soon to a city near you a very serious subject matter book There is a comic relief chapter to make that point We have got to keep our sense of humor or we'll be in the corner Bald up in the fetal position sucking on our thumb crying all the time So thank you Don glade And before we erity told me the joke not Don glade the air freshener Fox throw that in since I know he's got a sense of humor. He has no problem. Okay, hearing the joke Okay Thank you for joining us today greatly appreciate it. Take care and God bless brother.
