In this second Q&A episode of 2026, I'm joined once again by Joe Bailey for a raw, honest, and deeply practical conversation with men inside our Dad Edge Alliance. We tackle two of the most common—and emotionally charged—challenges dads face: navigating marriage when divorce feels like it's on the table, and learning when to step in (or step back) as parents with our kids.   Joe brings wisdom forged through failure, humility, and redemption as he shares lessons learned from three divorces and what it actually takes to rebuild trust, emotional safety, and leadership in marriage. We also dig into parenting—specifically how often we default to "no," how helicopter parenting robs kids of growth, and how learning to pause can transform our connection with our children. If you're a dad who wants to lead with ownership instead of ego, and presence instead of control, this episode is for you.     Timeline Summary  [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the second Q&A of 2026 with Joe Bailey [1:37] Live Q&A format with Alliance members on the call [2:03] Anonymous question: marriage arguments escalating and divorce being discussed [2:52] Joe shares his experience with three divorces and hard-earned lessons [3:49] Taking full ownership as the leader of the relationship [4:18] Winning the argument vs. winning your wife's heart [5:02] Separating identity from failure in marriage [5:21] Why agreement gives things power over your life [5:40] Emotional safety, being seen, and being heard [6:04] How your inner world creates your outer world [6:55] Why asking "What are you willing to do?" matters more than "Can we fix this?" [8:03] Leading with humility, apology, and commitment to growth [8:26] The importance of being coachable as a man and husband [9:35] Larry explains why the Dad Edge Alliance exists [10:37] More context: resentment and imbalance with kids and responsibilities [11:16] Why we're trained for careers—but not for marriage [12:15] Marriage compared to training and skill development [13:29] The mental load and resentment that silently builds in relationships [14:35] Larry shares his own wake-up moment with his wife [16:19] How to approach conversations with curiosity instead of defense [17:19] Expecting resistance and understanding trust rebuilds slowly [18:46] A real coaching story where separation was reversed after consistency [21:03] "Waiting for the other shoe to drop" and consistency over time [22:12] Second question: saying "no" too often to kids [23:12] Helicopter parenting and letting kids solve problems [24:27] Letting kids work it out unless safety is at risk [26:02] Stepping in when conflict becomes dangerous [28:16] Boys, aggression, and healthy outlets [29:45] Is saying "no" about safety—or convenience? [30:51] Searching for the "yes" and using delayed yeses [31:38] The day kids stop asking—and why it matters [32:16] How selfishness often drives our "no" [33:22] Episode wrap-up and directing listeners to the show notes     Five Key Takeaways   Marriage leadership starts with ownership, not blame or defensiveness.  Your inner world shapes your marriage, and emotional chaos creates relational chaos.  Trust is rebuilt through consistency over time, not quick fixes or intensity.  Kids grow through problem-solving, and dads don't need to jump in unless safety is at risk.  Saying "yes" whenever possible builds connection, while reflexive "no's" often come from selfishness or convenience.      Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance (Apply & Book a Call): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1426     Closing Remark If today's episode gave you clarity, hope, or a new way to lead at home, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast. You don't have to white-knuckle marriage or fatherhood alone—brotherhood, humility, and consistency change everything.

Jurassic World: Rebirth For a franchise that started with a single book and then a begrudging sequel, the fact that we are now 7 Films, two sub-titles, two Netflix animated shows and numerous games deep, tells us a lot about the state of the entertainment industry… (rather than the quality of that first book.) We have moved past the Jurassic park, beyond even the Jurassic World… we are now living in a post Jurassic planet. So if this film a true rebirth of a franchise, or the should this egg have been left in the incubator a bit longer. Dion and Jill have seen this weeks film, but Quinny is definitely here for emotional support and colour commentary. https://youtu.be/1AGTMry5nSc As always, a gigantosaursus sized thank-you to the dinosaurs and the mercenaries who love them, who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday (or wednesday) night at 7:30pm AEDT. And an especially huge thanks to any of the slutty glasses wearing scientists who are kind enough to support us by leaving thier fossils in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch… every bit helps us to keep the fences electrified and the boat fueled up… or it just pays for hosting…) If you feel so inclined drop us a sub we really love them, The more subby mc-sub-faces we get, the more Emotes You get! https://youtu.be/jan5CFWs9ic?si=wCPlEDf35P3owkWB WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!

Let’s go and say hello. Tell me your dinosaur name, Connie.  Quinny  Rusty, Durkins, Liam and someone else asaurus.  Dion  Rusty jerkins. You didn’t think about this hard enough, Jill, do you have a dinosaur name?  Quinny  I don’t know.  Jill  I’m a jealous sore.  Dion  I’m jealous, though. There you go very simply done.  Quinny  Ohh OK I thought I was trying to do the actual like thing. No, right. OK, I’m just I’m.  Dion  A Quinn playdon.  Quinny  Hang on.  Jill  Like it?  Dion  That’s where I gotta.  Quinny  Call Quinn flygon. I’m down for being a Quinn flygon.  Dion  Yeah. Or Quinn Claudon or something.  Quinny  Quinn play.  Dion  Docus yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I I like being a quintillus.  Speaker  Yep.  Jill  Phenolic quinoa. Quinoa.  Quinny  Quinolines quinolines Rex. But not locusts cause **** locusts cause that was stupid, yeah.  Dion  ******** cause. Yeah.  Quinny  Sorry, I I. Love that we tonight we’re talking about Jurassic World rebirth. Yeah, the chat is currently just concerned about the Superman shit that we watched. Last night.  Speaker  Usually.  Speaker 7  We’ll get to that next week.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, next.  Quinny  Week we will we will talk. About Superman and the real dog. Yeah. Next week? Yeah.  Dion  We’re not, we’re. Talking about the other summer blockbuster of the season by Universal Pictures. That’s right, Jurassic is not finished yet. We’re having another crack at it. The 7th ******* film in the franchise is out. And for your watching viewing Dino pleasure.  Quinny  Hmm. And Speaking of a real dog, let’s talk about this.  Dion  Donald, pleasure.  Speaker  oh Wow. Wow.  Dion  Yes, it kind of does.  Quinny  Yeah, I I I I’m gonna have to. Sorry, you go down.  Dion  No, no, you’re on, Gifford.  Quinny  I was just gonna say I have to put my hands up to it. I haven’t been able to watch this film. I have seen clips of it I have. I have been given a a wonderful description from Dion as to what the film essentially was about.  Dion  A rapid fire blow by blow.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I I haven’t been able to watch the film yet, so I’m at a certain point in time. I may even have to skip out for spoilers, or I may not bother. I don’t know.  Dion  Don’t even bother. I won’t even go there. It can’t be that sort of thing. Yeah.  Quinny  Right.  Dion  And I mean, if you’re not for anyone in the chat, and who? Casper. Casper. Hello, Casper. You. We. You. You’re like. I haven’t seen Dominion. Guess what? Don’t worry. This is a brand new. Yes. Because it went. No, no. We’ve finished those stories now, and we’re gonna start a whole new thing with a whole new team of lovable people that may or may not get eaten.  Quinny  I guess.  Speaker 7  Doesn’t matter. Yeah.  Quinny  Yes, this, this, this new reboot trilogy thing. I don’t know if it’s gonna be a trilogy. Who knows? Is entirely Chris Pratt bless.  Dion  Unfortunately, it seems to have done fairly good bank, so there’s probably gonna be a sequel.  Quinny  How many Jurassic films? Until they just completely have run out of anything interesting to say about dinosaurs.  Speaker  Right.  Dion  Yep.  Quinny  I understand. I mean, we have hit the bottom of the.  Dion  Well, what? Well. They seem to be they see they seem to. Be re digging the well.  Quinny  Well, this is Jurassic World.  Dion  Just next door. Yeah, look. OK.  Quinny  Like I don’t know how to. Do this anymore. Todd.  Dion  It’s difficult. I’m trying actually trying to think, OK, what sort of, uh, freaking accent does queen have to do this opposite? Because we got to get the synopsis out of the way. What is like in Jurassic World rebirth all about? You know, is it Scarlett Johansson giving birth to a dinosaur? No, it’s not. It’s got nothing to.  Quinny  OK, it’s not that right? No, because that would have been a very interesting and strange film.  Dion  Do with.  Speaker  Dion  Is it Ian Malcolm waking up to a Velociraptor in his bed? Allah Jurassic World 3. Or was it 2? I can’t remember. There was literally that bit. Where’s Malcolm? Malcolm.  Jill  Three, it was him and the daughter that went back to.  Dion  Yeah, I think. 3.  Jill  The.  Dion  Island in the circle? That’s right. But that could have been anyway. Yeah, anyway.  Quinny  Sorry, just to go back, Dominion was the one that included most of like a bunch of the original Jurassic Park cast, wasn’t it? Yes.  Dion  Yes.  Jill  That is the crossover 1.  Quinny  Yeah, right, that was.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  The the X-Men that is the future 1st.  Speaker 7  Yes, yes it was.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, the old and the new coming together to fight dinosaurs again. Yeah. Fight, ******* Jurassic locust.  Quinny  Locusts. Yeah, not even dinosaurs. ******* locusts. I remember that part about Dominion being really ****.  Dion  But this one.  Jill  Yeah. And I had the evil Tom Cook that was. Selling the dinosaurs or something, right?  Dion  Ohh look, there’s always an evil scientist trying to profit from the dinosaurs. That’s the that’s the whole point. And in this one guess what? You’re not alone. It’s evil scientist trying to profit from the dinosaurs through corporate.  Speaker  Right.  Quinny  So you don’t need me to do this anymore.  Dion  Hey, go right ahead, man. I don’t even have any background music for you. I just have. I can just do dinosaur. Creams in the background.  Quinny  Hey. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So, Zora Bennett. Yeah. Like she leads a team of skilled operatives to the most dangerous Wow place on Earth. I’m not. That’s meant to be a, me and Malcolm and it’s. Feeling miserable.  Dion  I know I was kind of like.  Speaker 7  Sure. That’s what you were doing.  Quinny  Yeah, I was like, yeah, no, I I realized I was not in a gold blooming of enough. No, couldn’t do it just so I’m just gonna do it as me moves to Christian.  Dion  Christopher Walken for fun. Why not?  Quinny  It was heading towards Christopher Morgan. Well, Dinos. He’s a team. No, I’m. I’m apparently not in a place where I could do stupid voices right now. Something has broken in me. Thanks to COVID, I’m pretty sure 15 of my 27 elves that live inside me. Are dead.  Jill  No.  Dion  This is just becoming horrifying. Please continue this, not this. As quickly as that.  Quinny  Yes, it is. OK. Zora Bennett. Yeah, zora. That is her name. Leads a team of skilled operatives to the most dangerous place on Earth. An island research facility for the original Jurassic Park. 1 of 27,000 island research. Facilities for the original Jurassic Park, apparently. Yeah. Their mission is to secure genetic material from dinosaurs, not in the way you’re thinking. Whose DNA can provide life saving benefits to mankind as the top secret expedition becomes more and more risky, they soon make a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades. There you go.  Dion  I I love that synopsis. I still have no idea what the sinister and shocking discovery that’s been hidden.  Quinny  Yeah.  Dion  From the world for.  Jill  Decades is that was the Montessori US, and it wasn’t decades. It was 17 years.  Dion  Yeah, which is very nice decades, but also like, is that a shocking thing? No, it’s like, OK, they’re hidden.  Jill  Set at the start of the movie.  Dion  It’s like. It’s kind of like it’s kind of like, wow, would Jurassic World have progressed into that? Ohh, you come to see the dinosaurs in the cages too. Come see the freak show. Freak show dinosaurs come. See. The freak show.  Jill  Yeah, it was definitely giving phantom of the opera dinosaur vibes. It was like I showed the whole thing. Just. Yeah, we’ll wait until the end. Yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Speaker 7  It’s just like. Yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  I’m speaking Elephant Man and dinosaurs.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, really. And also I. Love that they just played into the tropes right at the start there of the. Hapless idiot scientist who can’t do things right. Who does the little critical mistake even though they work in literally a research *******. Place and it’s their mistake that unleashes absolute hell across that. And I’m like, wow, if that was the security problem, like, that thing that that person did, they had way bigger problems. You know, at least they at least they had an actual corporate self sabotage moment in Jurassic Park. The first one where it’s like, ah, I’m doing this for money. It’s like, yeah, great. I understand that.  Speaker 7  Yeah.  Jill  Yeah, where was BD Wong in this one?  Quinny  Yeah. Or or Dennis medrick.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. Surprising lack of BD Wong. In all of this, too, yeah, yeah.  Quinny  It’s. I’m pretty sure he died at. The end of the last one, didn’t he?  Jill  Probably. Maybe.  Dion  You’re not like, are you? Are you? Are you seriously telling me that that character would not have cloned himself about 53 billion times because he’s the master of the cloning stuff and has been doing all of that? And he’s like, you’re gonna make like 50 of.  Jill  Yeah, exactly.  Quinny  Yeah, I have. I’m not entirely sure that may or may not have been an actual plot point from. The animated series. Like like I I’m the the Jurassic nerd who has gone and watched all of Camp Cretaceous and all of ******* chaos theory. The two Jurassic animated series. So yeah, yeah, I mean very well aware of how stupid the ******* storylines are.  Dion  Someone else?  Quinny  I’m.  Dion  The movie is this movie, this movie, not the movie. This movie established itself in the Jurassic World world by becoming a direct continuation from the Jurassic World Movie World. I know right where the dinosaurs have escaped from their captivity, which we saw in Dominion, and they’re kind of populating themselves out across and the and to causing chaos to the humans like humans have to deal with dinosaurs as a thing. But then I love that it did a smart thing in my brain which was to pull it all back towards the equator. Because they’re basically like, oh, dinosaurs are dying and they’re becoming a real pain in the **** like a dead dinosaur is quite annoying and everyone’s bored with them because they’re just a pain. They just cause traffic gridlock when they die, and they can only really exist around the equator, where it’s a more oxygen rich and kind of prehistoric era like like area where it. There. More sustainable life. Expectancy. So dinosaurs basically exist around the yeah, dinosaurs basically exist around the equator and and you know people kind of forgotten about them except for the corporations which want to make drugs, drugs, drugs from dinosaurs, even though technically no one’s allowed to go near the dinosaurs.  Quinny  It does vaguely make sense.  Dion  It’s like great. It’s like a no go zone. Is there any patrols or anyone managing that? No, we just say don’t go.  Speaker  And people will not go.  Quinny  Wait a minute. Like if it’s the entire ring of the equator, that’s quite a lot of travel, like space to try and. Manage. Yeah, but I mean.  Dion  There’s not lots of stuff there. A little bit.  Speaker  You know.  Quinny  Like I don’t know how long the equator is, but I imagine that it’s quite mountain.  Jill  And it goes right around the middle of the. World. Yeah, covers land and sea.  Dion  Well, anyway, there’s lots of, you know, research islands and stuff like extra research islands. I also love that it’s like, oh, we have thousands of these islands around the equator. Cool. There’s more research places. I’m like, really.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  They gave themselves a problem and they gave themselves a very easy way to solve it.  Quinny  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah, it’s like and. But I looked at this, this island, and I’m like, man, that that looks even more like more technology and infrastructure went into that island than the park. So now I understand, I feel like ohh, that’s why they got out of the park cause they just didn’t give a ****. Whereas in this one, I was like, oh, this feels like it was. It had more money as could you said. To me, yesterday spared no expense, but we didn’t see that in Jurassic Park in the 1st. No, we didn’t see the spared no expense. It felt like it was, but it wasn’t. And now look at this one. I was like, wow, they’ve they’ve done so much more. There’s, like, helipads and geothermal energy and a whole bunch of things in there. But it’s a bit of a cop out.  Quinny  I really like. That that whole thing that the first one, you know, we’ve made a a park and we everybody understands theme park. OK, cool. Second film, it’s like AH, but there’s a site B.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  And you’re like, OK, fine by the time you get to 7 ******* films later, it’s like there’s sight 274B/3.  Dion  And that sure research area.  Quinny  Yeah. So what’s so cool about this research?  Dion  Where? Where do we keep over?  Quinny  Area I don’t get. It why? Why? Why should we care?  Jill  It’s the lab where they were doing the genetic experiments, so they were trying to cross breed dinosaurs with DNA. To make more exciting and terrifying dinosaurs, Allah the Dominus racks that we saw in the First Jurassic World. Except I think there were a few failures.  Dion  Yes, it’s where they kept all of the the the ones that went wrong. Yeah. Yeah, they’re like, oh, we cloned one. Ohh. It’s got an extra leg. Well, well, we can’t get rid of it. It costs a lot of money. So we’ll just see what we can get out.  Jill  Little bit.  Dion  But. At the end. Right. Yeah. So like it’s kind of like, oh, you have your, your, your your site B where you raise things that you kind of work because you did standard stuff and then you have your as you said, what was it, the Indominus Rex or whatever which was there. But where did all of the bits that came up to that go? Oh, they were at this other site which specialized in ****** dinosaurs.  Jill  Yeah. Where did the unaborted fetuses go?  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  OK, right. See there, there is a concept there that I like, if only because one of my favorite bits out of alien for.  Dion  You mean the bit?  Quinny  Where there’s the multiple clones of Ripley that they got. Wrong.  Speaker 7  Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, it’s.  Dion  Yeah, like that, yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, that that kind of horror of like, yeah, we tried multiple times and **** got real messy.  Speaker 7  But father, why?  Dion  Queen.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.  Dion  But quinnie, I’m sorry in terms of movie making, that’s not going to happen because we only have the models that we could control C Control V and if every model is distinct and individual. That has different limbs or other things we we can’t do that that is too expensive. Plus we have this really great Tyrannosaurus Rex, one that we’re just going to keep using no matter what. We just reskin it. Another one.  Quinny  Yep, control Z control V.  Dion  Yeah, I mean, I’m I’m really into the island of Doctor Moreau. Dinosaur Island too, like, you know, everything is ******. Like if every dinosaur has had some something that was wrong with it in this, I would have been like, this is an interesting thing. Like, if everything like a Tyrannosaurus Rex with really. Really.  Quinny  Moret.  Dion  Tiny legs and huge arms that would be. I would love watching that. UM, but yeah.  Quinny  I would have loved to have seen like the T Rex. That actually still. Had its feathers and they’re like, yeah, this is actually what came out when we genetically did it. But yeah, nobody wanted to see that. And it looked stupid. So we just had to have that on site. ******* 27 B wouldn’t because.  Jill  That would have been. A better deep cut than just putting a school bus that said Creighton High School on it in. The opening thing like.  Dion  Yeah, I.  Jill  Know the taste levels in this film were non active.  Quinny  Sure. I I did see a sequence where they like they were walking into a a what you would call it like a museum. And they were literally dropping the banner of when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. And I was like, **** me.  Dion  The banner.  Quinny  Really, that’s a bit on the nose.  Jill  Quinny, I will tell you, I will tell you now that is not the first time they exactly ripped off the first film.  Quinny  Ohh dear.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, but. I was written by the same guy who wrote the first film based on the Michael Crichton book. That’s OK, but I do feel. Like. Yeah, it’s a.  Jill  Is it OK to not do anything original that you have to completely lift sequences?  Dion  Bit.  Quinny  Right. Yeah, yeah.  Dion  Maybe he’s just using. ChatGPT to really he’s like, here’s the story outline. Fill it out.  Jill  Remember, remember the the fun kitchen sequence with the velociraptors. You wanna see that again?  Quinny  Yeah, but with a different. Yeah. Excellent. Sweet.  Jill  Cool, you’ve got it. Yeah. Do you wanna see the sequence well?  Speaker 7  Kids.  Jill  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got that done alright. Do you wanna see another sequence where someone’s trying to lead a dinosaur away from a?  Quinny  Wait, OK.  Jill  Group of people with a flair. Yeah, because you got that.  Quinny  Too, I love Jurassic.  Dion  Your thing?  Quinny  Park. Yeah. The first film. Yeah.  Speaker  Yeah, like I mean.  Dion  Sorry, it’s it’s it’s interesting because the ideas that are purported from some of the concepts that presented to us in this. Film I were talking about, you know, interesting, different, distorted kind of things. Like, you know, you’ve got established law like they added amphibian DNA to fill out the chains when they got there. And Can you imagine seeing a Tyrannosaurus Rex or even, you know, some sort of Velociraptor that has a tongue that can fire out? And grab like a frog, like that kind of **** is.  Quinny  I still want the the ******* thing that’s in the book. The the The Lost World Book, the sequel book.  Speaker  Uh. That.  Quinny  Is one of the creepiest bits of the novel that they’ve never adapted to the screen. Probably so.  Dion  Which was that? Tell tell me of that news.  Quinny  So there there’s a bit where they’re they’re they’re running away and that’s much like the Lost world film. They’re running away from dinosaurs and suddenly they’re being chased by Raptors and the Raptors **** ***. And they’re, like, hang on, what the **** makes Raptors turn around and run? No way. And they’re like, well, we’ve gone into something else’s territory. We’re in deep ****. We don’t know what it is, and I think it. I think it was a Spinosaurus or something like that, that they patched some of the DNA of of that with a a. Ohh ****. What are the ones that. You can see through.  Dion  Ohh jellyfish Daniel.  Jill  The cuttlefish.  Quinny  No, no. Like the the little gecko, like a gecko. But what are the ones that change? Chameleon. Chameleon. Yeah. So it was like this perfect chameleon dinosaur and everything was scared ******** of it because they could never see it.  Speaker  Thing.  Jill  Well, they did that with the Indominus. They put the the cuttlefish DNA in the Indominus and it was camouflage.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Ohh I didn’t even remember it being that camouflage. I always think of the Indominus as being kind of just white and dumb looking.  Jill  No, it was camouflage.  Dion  Could also and and change its heat signature. And it was, yeah, like they had a whole bunch of weird ****. And it had Velociraptor. DNA.  Speaker  Yes.  Dion  And it had everything, and it was linked to the child that was made.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, that was ******* stupid. OK. So, so yeah. Like it was a cool idea. Yeah. Yeah. That you know something that perfectly camouflaged itself. Yeah. But also is is still a normal looking dinosaur.  Dion  I mean, yeah, look. This film has it all. It has all of the greatest dinosaurs that you wanted to see kind of. I don’t know. They tell you in the film what the ones that they’re going to go for and then they do that they go to the ones that they’re going for. It has, you know, a great person to hate straight away. It’s got a great team of mercenaries who also had.  Quinny  Scarlett Johansson was quite pleasant. I don’t. Know what you’re talking.  Dion  Has a great team of mercenaries that all had distinct personalities and the back story. Yeah, yeah, that was the I was there. I’m like, I’m down for this. This is great. This is gonna be a fun adventure. We’re gonna go to the island and get the things. And I’m like, OK, they got, you know, sluty glasses guy. He was gonna be the person you follow. And then they added a family.  Jill  Yeah. How Red shirt gang.  Dion  For no ******* reason.  Jill  Yeah, that you’ve. Never seen the trailer? There’s just a random. Family got added.  Dion  Yeah. If it’s just like, oh, we need more people now. It’s like, do, do we. We had the team, we had the team which we could grow to love. And then when they got eaten by a dinosaur, we would feel something.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  In this one, we just get to watch, you know, Ed screen get eaten within the first, like, completely wasted within the first time. Like ohh cool. He’s a military. That was. Yeah, he’s the military guy who’s got the only gun that they seem to have. And then he gets eaten and everyone’s like, cool. So you didn’t pack any other ******* guns.  Jill  Yeah.  Quinny  The. Even though you’re going to an island full of deadly dinosaurs.  Dion  None. And you pack 1 gun. That’s a **** gun anyway. Like.  Speaker 2  I don’t.  Quinny  Understand this. The reason they’re going there is for what? What’s the magnuson?  Jill  OK, so the pharmaceutical Rep wants to get blood samples from dinosaurs that had the largest hearts because that’s going to cure heart disease.  Dion  And they could make a **** ton of money. At least they’re open about that straight away, but then also.  Jill  Yeah, yeah, but it doesn’t work if you only get 1 sample from one large hearted dinosaur, you have to collect three. You have to get the air 1 and the water one and the land one. And together with their powers combined. Will cure heart disease.  Quinny  I’m Captain dinosaur planet. Yeah.  Dion  Exactly. And then if you if you use the fire from a flare.  Quinny  Wow.  Dion  It all goes together and also, you know, hey, let’s just let’s just throw in. Rupert, Friends standing there going and also didn’t your dad die of heart disease? Don’t you want to do something about that? And it’s like what? OK, it’s fine. We’ll just go.  Quinny  And heart.  Jill  Yeah, OK, well, now this is a cause that’s closer.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, it’s closer to. It’s closer to my heart, but like, ohh, holy ****, you already had us with money.  Jill  To my heart. So yeah, that will help.  Dion  Because she was like, that’s real dumb. It’s like, well, here’s a bunch of money. And she’s like, yeah, OK, I can do money. I love money. We’ll do money like that was fine. And then. But, you know, I was on board for that anyway, you know.  Jill  Done.  Dion  I also love how what’s his name? Jonathan Bailey’s Henry Loomis. That paleontologist was like. I’m really conflicted about going. To this island that I’ve been like consulting to this pharmaceutical company about how they can make drug and actually like they like he was the one who came up with like no you have to get it from. The heart of a. Living animal while it’s alive and they have to be the biggest. I came up with this idea. It’s like, OK, we’re going the island to do your idea. He’s like, oh, I don’t know if I can go.  Jill  Yeah, it’s like I’ve just dedicated my life to dinosaurs, and I might have the opportunity to see them in real life, but I don’t.  Dion  I mean.  Jill  Think I could.  Dion  Do it, but I’m slightly morally. Conflicted by it, it’s like.  Speaker  Wait. Really.  Dion  Yeah. Anyway, and then there’s an additional family which is just useless. They add nothing to the plot. Nothing. They’re not there for anything. They’re there for different sequences with different dinosaurs.  Quinny  What are they there for?  Jill  They literally add nothing to any of the context of the plot.  Dion  The mercenary team would have been better off not rescuing them.  Quinny  Right.  Jill  Yeah.  Quinny  So they probably would have been better off too.  Jill  Oh, and the whole family subplot. So it’s not like they were even there for. Fodder.  Dion  The survival rate in the.  Quinny  Ohh ****, I thought this. I thought they were gonna be like, you know, the another red shirt but a red shirt that maybe we’re a little bit more invested in because they’re kids or whatever.  Dion  No. The survival rate in this ******* film is way too high.  Jill  Yeah, out of like, all of the characters, I’m pretty sure it was like 4 that died, tops. And there was, I gotta say, like 10 or 12 characters in the movie that were on the island.  Quinny  Right. OK.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  There were 11. There were 11 people on that island. I just counted them up quickly in the car. There were 11 people and out of it like 3.  Jill  There you go. You go.  Speaker  And it.  Jill  Was 4, three or four? Yeah.  Dion  Died. 33 died.  Jill  Ohh and it was all in the first like action sequence.  Dion  Well, no there was. There was.  Jill  Ohh wait, no there was one later. Two in the first action secrets and.  Dion  Yeah, there was. There was 2 and then one at the end and yeah. And even someone who did a heroic thing of sacrificing themselves to it, like, you know, to to let everyone get out didn’t die for no explanation. Absolutely no explanation. Yeah.  Jill  Then one later. Yeah, didn’t I?  Dion  You explain how that happened, no? You’re gonna explain where the monster. Where did the Montessori’s go? That was literally going to eat him when you went back to pick him up.  Quinny  And wave it. Away.  Jill  Yeah, they’re not the swords. Like, as terrifying as it was, was very slow.  Dion  No idea. The Montessori was.  Speaker 7  Didn’t move very quickly at.  Quinny  I was going to say you may have to help me a.  Speaker 7  All.  Quinny  Little bit. What’s the Montessori, especially as Jill.  Jill  What the source was like is the Phantom of the opera, so he’s the one that.  Speaker 7  Like.  Jill  Kills the scientists in the lab at the start, but you never really see it until the very end, where it reveals itself. But.  Quinny  Oh, he’s he’s.  Dion  Jill, you came up with the greatest explanation of it. This is the special needs dinosaur. Oh, dear. I’m sorry to say it because say that. Yeah, it is. It is the special needs dinosaur because it’s it’s it looks all ******.  Quinny  You can’t.  Dion  It is all ****** **. Yeah, but it’s also like it just makes it makes decisions in there, which is like, are you OK, buddy? Are you a special little dinosaur? Ooh, shiny thing. You know, kind of like, that’s the kind of level you get it. It’s supposed to be big and scary and kind of weird.  Jill  It’s giving Timmy for himself.  Dion  Then OK, you get that. But like by the end of it, you’re like, you could probably distract this thing with a rock.  Speaker  Like.  Dion  Shiny thing? It’s not hunting anyone in particular, it’s.  Jill  Yeah.  Speaker 7  Just yeah, a laser pointer like a.  Speaker  There.  Dion  Cat. Yeah, yeah, he’s a laser pointer. It should be. Like ohh over. Here. OK, alright. Don’t worry about him. He’s just. A.  Quinny  ********. I am looking at the design of it like I’ve found a. Toy of it.  Dion  Right.  Jill  Ohh yeah, they made a toy that was a toy.  Dion  Its official name is Distortus Rex.  Jill  Yeah. That was just because they. Couldn’t call it the R word. Don’t cancel me.  Dion  Restore restores Rex.  Quinny  Yeah. I’m going. I’m just trying to work out why. It has 6 legs.  Jill  Because it’s an abomination. Quitting.  Dion  Why not?  Quinny  Yeah. And a giant alien looking ahead. Actually, you know what it reminds me of doing? It reminds me. Of. Dion  A duback it reminds me of a. Rancor. What did you call me? Easy. It reminds me of of like a. A a a not quite a right rancor.  Quinny  Ohh yeah, but like the tail of the.  Jill  Rankle from Team who, didn’t we?  Speaker 7  Say.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. Rank. God, it does have rankle from Teemo, doesn’t it? Yeah, with a little bit of dew back in there as well. But but dewback with with tiny little dumb **** little baby legs at the front. But then giant *******.  Dion  Got removed.  Jill  Excuse me.  Quinny  Clothes as well. Wow. Yeah, terrible design.  Jill  And it was very slow.  Dion  Yeah. Comparatively, yes. Yes. Casper was asking you.  Speaker  Are.  Quinny  There any other cool dinosaurs in?  Dion  There is there is product placement in this which is also funny. OK, here’s the thing. No, there are not really any cool dinosaurs in this.  Jill  They’re all the stock standard ones that we’ve seen before. There was iguanodons. There was a Tyrannosaurus, there was a.  Dion  Spinosaurus.  Jill  Resource resource source. We saw a really fuzzy blurry shot of a couple of loose wrapped.  Dion  Agodon or whatever they want to call it, Moses areas.  Jill  There’s there’s flexicoil and.  Speaker  Oh oh.  Dion  That, that, that game that gave me the sheets. OK, I need to explain. That one. What? What is in every single?  Speaker  And.  Jill  There was a Ankylosaurus, but it was like for 1/2 little second as they’re like rushing through the jungle I’m like. No. Give me ankylosaurus. What? What?  Quinny  Is the.  Dion  What is the staple dinosaur across all of the other Jurassic Park movies? What is it?  Speaker 7  Yes, velociraptor. Yeah.  Dion  It’s a velociraptor. How dare you in this one? Only show a Velociraptor or two velociraptors out of focus.  Jill  Out of focus.  Dion  Stalking the character you want to die like there’s a character that you want that character to die because it’s just a.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Person that didn’t need to be in the field, but also you’re like, yeah, get rid of that, that character that that character’s ******. And then it gets killed. Like they get killed off screen like in the kind of. Behind things so you don’t need to see what happens like. They’re not even. In the frame like ohh we we put lots of Raptors in there.  Jill  It was supposed to be a comedy beat, but.  Quinny  Yeah. Anyway, OK, I I will point out that there is a toy of Zora Bennett with the Velociraptor.  Dion  No, no, no, no, no, they’re well, they kind of I I did look it up. They were like a different kind of Velociraptor that had been engineered. And I’m like, no, that’s just a Pelican with no feathers.  Quinny  OK, right. So.  Speaker  You want to be.  Jill  Hold that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It looked more like a Pokémon.  Dion  At the end, which was Kinder? Yeah, but you know my favorite dinosaur of this whole movie?  Speaker 2  Wow.  Dion  Merchandising. Dinosaur. That’s right. We’re going to give the little we’re going to give a kid the war merchant door. Yeah, merchant hours.  Jill  Baby Diner Deloris the baby dinosaur.  Dion  Yeah, Mercer hours because ******* rogu the dinosaur. All right. OK. Yeah.  Jill  That’s it.  Dion  Yeah, groger the dinosaur. Who who manages to to to look. It’s almost like Dora the Explorer. Yes, because that’s what it is. The little girl with the backpack is.  Jill  Yes, giving Dora. And boots.  Dion  From from like a Latina background has like adopted. ******* dinosaur. For some reason, even though they’ve been trying to eat her for the whole time, whatever.  Quinny  And and doesn’t. She say early on that she hates dinosaurs. Yeah.  Jill  Well, yeah. She just had a traumatic experience with one, and then all of a sudden, she befriends the baby. 1. Because marketing they.  Dion  I can’t wait for the next one. Jurassic World Re Rebirth, where it’s grown up a little bit and it’s just causing terror around their household because it’s gotten too big. I know, right?  Jill  Yeah, they should get James Gunn to direct that one.  Quinny  I mean, you’ll at least make it fun. Maybe Jill. OK.  Dion  Jill, that’s next week.  Speaker  Look.  Jill  You guys know that I love wanton dinosaur destruction as much as the next, but there was 0 in this movie. This was the most this.  Quinny  And she’s wanting dinosaur destruction.  Jill  Is the biggest. Let down of my life for a Jurassic film.  Quinny  Wow. Yeah, yeah.  Dion  Ohh great it was.  Jill  Not even any of the scenes with dinosaurs were exciting. Was none of them very mediocre?  Dion  I I really liked 1 scene which also did not pay. Off at all. Point of the scene.  Jill  Uh-huh.  Dion  So, and I’ll say because I don’t really feel like it’s not really a spoiler anyway, they they, their boat crashes, they get they have to swim to the beach. The Moses all can’t get in there, but there’s these other like is it Spinosaurus that are like the sail the sail ones yeah I don’t know the ones are the sail Finn on their back they have been kind of swimming around and you know smartly.  Speaker 7  Slide on some things.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  The dinosaur expert goes. Like, don’t stop at the beach. They’re amphibious, like keep moving. He keeps running like everyone else is like, oh, finally, we made it to the beach. There’s no more dinosaurs, and he just keeps running. Going. Nope. Nope. And phebus amphibious, like and keeps running into there. And I like that. And someone kind of takes a beat on the beach. And you’re looking at the back, and it’s kind of rocks.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  Yep.  Dion  Everywhere and stuff. And then suddenly one of those ones rolls over. Because it’s been lying on the beach flat. So you didn’t see this? The big sail, Finn. And it’s terrifying because you realize. Ohh ****. They’re on the beach already and everyone’s just kind of relaxing and like breathing heavy and going. Oh my God, I can’t. And one rolls over and kind of like slides around. And you’re like. Holy ****, that’s gonna get that person that’s right there. And then they take a beat and it doesn’t for some reason. Another one comes from somewhere. Else to do it and. Then they just **** ***. Yeah, like they see a person dying like ohh no, that happened anyway. Alright, that’s very sad. We should go. And it’s like they would be hunting you.  Jill  There were a couple of moments that were giving like ohh this is alien vibes. This would work perfectly if they just let into the horror aspect and then they completely swerve the other direction and.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, this is.  Jill  Basically, make a really kid friendly film.  Dion  Yeah, there’s there’s no horror in this and I think that’s one. Of. The things Queen you’re saying Camp Cretaceous was a. A good TV show. It feels like they they wanted that audience to come and see and they couldn’t get too scary.  Quinny  Yeah. Well, and the and the stupid thing is in in Camp Cretaceous and chaos theory, they do, you know, have enough actual threat in there like dinosaurs do, eat people and ****. You just don’t see it. Like you don’t see big bodies being munched in half, but.  Jill  That was the beauty of the first one. That was the beauty of Jurassic Park. They’re terrified. 8 year old me, but I still went back to keep watching. I’m like, this is ******* terrifying. Must watch more here.  Quinny  Dinosaur leaping. Sir. Absolutely.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  They don’t. They do. They hate that guy on the toilet, like the lawyer.  Jill  Yes, snapped him up, chewed him, gobbled him.  Quinny  Down. Yeah, exactly.  Jill  Getting electrified on fences.  Dion  As a.  Quinny  Yeah, and and the, the, the.  Jill  Joke ******** your pants in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  The Raptors were ******* scary because they were smart, yes.  Speaker 7  Jello.  Speaker  Yeah. Give me.  Quinny  That I mean. Come on. There’s a girl.  Dion  This is this is a like Jurassic Park, is it?  Jill  I ohh Dion, did I tell you or did I not tell you that I wanted them to say clever girl in this movie?  Dion  Is it what?  Jill  And it didn’t happen all the.  Dion  Exactly. We’re waiting for regrets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially considering you’ve got a female lead.  Jill  Of all the things.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Like you know, and.  Jill  Yeah, straight female characters. Yeah, that 41 got eaten, but still.  Dion  Yeah, only it’s it’s one of those. It’s one of those things that I was like. Jurassic Park. The first one is great because you take two kids, you terrorise them with an attack and then the first thing that Ian Malcolm. Sorry. No. Ian. Malcolm. Sam. Meals. Thing is, is also scare them is to make them like.  Speaker 7  Oh yeah, with the color and the.  Dion  No, no, not no, no, the the like the electrified fence. I forgot about that. They’ve just gone through gold.  Jill  Yeah, that’s the first moment he met them. He shows them the the talent and he’s like that. Rip your guts. Out like this?  Dion  No, that was the kid. That was a shift head at the archaeological view.  Quinny  Oh no, I’m pretty. The to the little kid as well, really.  Jill  It doesn’t terrified a kid. Oh.  Dion  Yeah. Ohh yeah, yeah. But like also, I love that like it’s traumatic experience. We should terrorise them a little bit more. I’ll play that joke and then they get terrorized again. Like it is about scaring kids. And this one is not about scaring kids. This one is about making. You know who’s scared in this?  Jill  It wasn’t. There wasn’t even jump scare in this I don’t think.  Dion  No.  Quinny  And yet it’s been very popular and made.  Jill  Why? But why? Why?  Quinny  A lot of.  Speaker  Money.  Quinny  That was my question. That’s my question. Why?  Jill  I think it’s all the people with chat. Deputy brain rot.  Quinny  Who would? Just like yay dinosaur fan?  Dion  It’s it’s, it’s it’s a movie. Like it’s a movie from a pitch deck. It’s like, here’s this action scene. Here’s this action scene. Here’s this action scene. Here’s this action scene. Right. Write it all together for some reason and do it also you. Let’s throw in a message there which I think is Gareth Edwards touch like he’s I feel like Gareth, who’s a good director like I don’t, I don’t think his films are bad. He he wanted to tell a message in it, but he had to do it. In such a. Way, which is like corporations are bad and we should like work together with each other and it just feels ham fisted because he’s been handed a bunch of scenes that he has to put in this movie that don’t make ******* sense. Also, yes again, you mentioned that the other thing quinny the magical blow up boat that seems to be the only thing that can stop dinosaur bites. Yeah. Yeah, because they’re 2 rubbery.  Jill  Completely imperceptible to teeth.  Dion  Yeah. Can’t Pierce a a blow up boat.  Quinny  Oh, we’re OK.  Dion  Which is also done in the stupidness.  Quinny  I’d I’d only read about it and I was like, ohh OK. Magical rubber dingy. Cool, yeah.  Speaker  Sticky.  Dion  Magical rubber, sweet, but also dumb. I mean that whole sequence which was specifically design. Mind for just the T Rex attack was not particularly scary, thrilling or interesting. It was just like they’re gonna get away. Everyone and no one dies.  Quinny  Is is the is the T Rex still even remotely scary?  Jill  No, not in comparison to anything else these days.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, right. Because when that. When it first shows up in that first film and you know you don’t see it for a while, it eats a goat off screen and you’re. Like oh ****.  Jill  Yeah.  Quinny  And then it finally shows it up. And it’s this ******* magnificently terrifying thing in the dark.  Jill  Yeah.  Quinny  It was incredible, was there.  Jill  Yeah.  Speaker  That.  Jill  The scariest thing, but like since Jurassic World, he’s just been good guy T Rex. He’s like he’s our pet.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  And that is a problem, isn’t it? Like if you’re now a good guy, we can rely on T Rex to always come through for us.  Jill  Yeah. Again, another slow dinosaur. How how are people in a dinghy outgrowing a Tyrannosaurus Rex?  Dion  Yeah. Or is swimming like, how is a river at both times deep enough for a Tyrannosaurus Rex to swim and then?  Quinny  It’s funny.  Speaker 7  But also the stick. It’s like that Godzilla thing where he’s in the ocean. It’s like his legs go all the way.  Dion  But also to stand in.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Speaker 7  Down. They can still serve.  Dion  I’ll stand there and go. Oh, no. I’ve been foiled by my one weakness. A small gap in rock.  Quinny  Casper, I think has hit the absolute nail on the head there. Have the solution. We give the Dinos lasers. I also agree that they should have lasers and should have people riding them. I know riders.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah.  Quinny  I mean, it’s not that ******* hard, guys.  Dion  I mean, come on, there are plenty of islands. There’s gotta be some Indigenous tribe there that’s been left with. And also has domesticated them and now is using them to, you know, fight battle. Why not?  Quinny  Yeah, I’m down for that. Yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. I mean the rest of Hollywood is bankrupt, so why not this one? Hi, Amy.  Quinny  I love the fact that they they go into all of the effort of going OK in the previous films. We’ve now set dinosaurs out into the world and the the whole idea of Jurassic World is that yeah, we are now living in a Jurassic.  Dion  It’s the world. Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  World, where there’s dinosaurs and **** like that. And it’s like, yeah, no undo all of that. Take them out of society so that society just doesn’t care about them and we’re going to put them in a small band in the middle of the of the planet.  Dion  Yep, we’ve gone across the world to come all the way back around. No back to islands in the Pacific. Yeah, yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Cool.  Quinny  Is Scarlett your handsome good.  Jill  She’s adequate.  Dion  You know what I gotta say, all the cast is great because, like they, they are trying very hard. Like they’re all likable. I liked. Wait. OK, let me separate this out. All of the cast from the mercenary side. Like the the you get introduced straight away. They’re all actually quite likable, you know. They’re stereotyped out, so you know who’s who to follow. You know, you got the boat, captain. You got the the mercenary. You got the evil creepy guy. Like it’s very aliens. Easy to follow. It’s like predator. I think I explained that one. It’s like. In the first predator film, by the time they’re on the helicopter going out to the mission, you have identified exactly the difference between all of them and how they work. So yeah, it’s a good way to introduce a cast of different people. Same kind of thing here, here’s all the cast and then they. Had. A boat full of family. That you hate. Like all of them are *****, pretty much or. Bless.  Jill  Yeah, they were pointless, they.  Dion  They’re all.  Jill  Were fine, but they were. Pointless.  Dion  Yeah, fine. But they’re pointless. And then they mix them up. And I was like, this is just irritating and the most irritating thing I think I found about it was after they, their boat crashes, they split them up again to the exact same groups. And that is dumb. Like I mean you presented you, you could have at least given half the mercenaries to the family and half the family to the mercenaries.  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  If you had mixed them up. Then it’s like, OK, how do we now work with what we’ve got to complete the mission that we have to do, but also get you back safely to get?  Dion  Because the family’s just trying to get off the island and the mercenaries just default back to Ohh well, they’re dead. We’ll.  Speaker 7  And leave the island.  Dion  Just go and get the blood we need.  Jill  Yeah. They’re like, oh, maybe they’ll need us at that helipad that we told. Them about who knows.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Jill  And then when they do, they’re like.  Quinny  Oh my God, you made it.  Dion  My God, we never thought we’d see you again.  Speaker 8  Yeah, that’s.  Speaker 7  The grey.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Quinny  The Quetzalcoatlus thing, the the big flying one, is there anything called with?  Speaker  What?  Jill  I mean, no, they’re raiding its nest and then it comes back and it eats one of them.  Dion  No.  Speaker  Oh.  Dion  Do you know what was scarier in the previous films?  Jill  Ohh yeah, they’ve wait, but Joe Bailey fell off a Cliff and survived.  Dion  Because everyone survives, you can’t not survive, right? Also getting up the Cliff is hilarious because, like, we have to make it up there by, like, you know, in the next few hours.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  And then they’re just. There. Yeah. Like how how no one can climb that fast. You couldn’t even take an escalator. Fast, but like OK, the the the flying dinosaur like that, the terradon that was in the in the second one. No third one in justified. Well, they went to the Avia and they were like, Oh my God, there’s an aviary. That was scary. And then the eating people off the off the, the the resort in Jurassic World that’s also terrifying. In this one it’s just kind. Of like.  Quinny  Ohh Margarita man being picked up. I love that. It was great.  Dion  Yeah, like all of that kind of stuff. That was this one just kind of felt like ohh no, they got their thing for the thing and now they’ve got their thing, OK. Then they disappear. It’s like, great, now bird is gone and then have to.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Worry about bird anymore.  Jill  Yeah. Yeah, they’re. Like, oh, so once we complete that mission, how do we get off the island? And Scarjo says, Ohh well, there’s a helicopter that I prepared earlier. It would be here at dusk on the second day and it will hover for two minutes precisely. So we must be there at the appointed time so we can leave.  Dion  Yes. And then leave.  Quinny  Here’s one I.  Dion  Prepared, yeah, exactly 100%.  Jill  Precisely.  Quinny  Yeah. I’m sorry. Just wanna wanna call out something Karina has just said in the chat that there’s a mystery temple that they never explain.  Jill  So they’re like. Yeah, because they’re on some random ******* island where a lab has been set up. But here’s like this main looking temple. That are, you know, aptly named Quetzal cottis’s nesting in and they’re like, oh, yeah, whatever.  Quinny  Oh no worse. Yeah, just and wave that away. Yep. Yeah, cool.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, it’s. There’s a lot of hand waving this way. Actually, there’s a fun one. I know that we’re. We haven’t even got to like ratings or spoilers. I don’t really care. I don’t. Want to play the clip anymore?  Speaker 7  We’re kind of really spoiling this whole movie right now, but it’s not a particularly good movie, I’m afraid, guys.  Quinny  Yeah, I’m feeling like I didn’t I.  Dion  Didn’t even want to play the clip of the family. No, I really enjoyed the weird threesome that was. That was the unintended.  Jill  Oh yeah, what? Joe Bailey in the ****. Chair.  Speaker 7  yeah  Dion  When they’ve when they’ve finally come across. Yeah, what are they called? They’re like. Big the big they’re not brontosaurus or whatever. They’re gigantosaurus whatever they’re like. They’re kind of cool, but.  Speaker  Gig gig addon Adam.  Dion  Gigaton.  Quinny  Giga Dong, well done.  Jill  We didn’t get sleep, got no pain, there was no diesel pain. It just kind of made out for a bit. Now see it.  Speaker  We.  Dion  We said we supposedly supposed to get to this really beautiful moment where these two gigantic gigantosaurus are titanosaurs or whatever it is are like mating. And they go like, oh, my God, we’ve stumbled onto this field where all these things are and they’re mating and we need to get that.  Jill  Titanosaurus Higdon this course. Oh my God. Wait, wait. Can I just say they’re in a field with absolutely nothing, and then they turn slightly and here are these big **** *** dinosaurs, and then they turn around just a little bit more. And then there’s like 100 of them.  Speaker  Why?  Speaker 8  It is cold.  Dion  Yeah, I mean it plays. It plays exactly into that thing which has been established in the previous ones. It’s like do not go into the long grass. That’s where the velociraptors hunt. And you go in, they’re walking in there like, oh, great. We’re finally getting to the action edit. And it’s just ******* giant ones. It just happened to be there.  Jill  Yeah, there’s nothing. Ohh, this is fantastic. Ohh wait. Hang on. Ohh, look at that big one.  Speaker 7  Another big one. I’ll be right on top of.  Speaker 8  Us. What the?  Dion  It’s. *******. It’s supposed to. Yeah, it’s supposed.  Jill  Thing.  Speaker 7  Wait, what? There’s a hundred more over there? Yeah.  Dion  It’s supposed to be this really beautiful moment for Jonathan Bailey’s character as the paleontologist to go, Oh my God, I’m watching this happen in real life and I can see this, and he gets too close to them and touches them. But it is just the fact that there are these two titanosaurus and they just curl like twist sort of twist their necks like ******* snakes. They just do that.  Jill  Yes, they’re just making it out. They’re making.  Quinny  Out they’re making.  Dion  And he’s and. And he’s putting his hand on it. And I’m like, that is the worst part of the reason right there. There is the awkward guy just trying. To get involved. Well, these two are like, what are you doing?  Speaker 7  Getting in the middle of the.  Jill  Well, just I’m just gonna get scratching here. Oh, no. OK.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do I just do an intro or just leave my hand here? Meanwhile, the dinosaur kind of looks down and goes. What are? You doing yes.  Speaker 7  Like is this working for you?  Dion  Stop looking at me.  Quinny  So he’s in the Cockfield exactly.  Dion  Yeah. And then Sky Joe shoots it with a dart for blood for blood and that kind of thing. And that’s how you go.  Jill  And then they’re like. 2 down, one to go.  Dion  I also love how they celebrate every time they get a vial they have they have a they’re like a, a a briefcase full of like, which has space for three vials of blood that that they kind of are using as the as the the progress meter for the game that is this movie. And they all get really excited about harvesting this blood and it’s. Like. You know that you’re the bad guys, right? You’re the bad people. You’re like in Jen from the second movie. You.  Quinny  Know. So is there a point where like and and this is me not having seen it. OK, thank you. Is is there a moment where the the the obviously not great.  Jill  There’s no point.  Speaker 1  There is no point.  Quinny  And the guy at the start turns on them. And of course, OK, just I just just checking. Of course he’s.  Speaker 7  Ohh yes, very early. Very early in the movie.  Dion  He’s established as a complete **** **** the very start, like when.  Quinny  He kind of books them just like that.  Dion  When they’re in, when they’re in the the the water. But like, you know, and then of course he finds.  Speaker 7  Yeah, they’re like.  Jill  No, you’re not a good dude. But we’re just gonna. Look over here.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we you have money and we do that. And then eventually, of course, he makes.  Jill  Until the moment when they’re like. I think we can get rid of this. Guy, if we just do nothing.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah. And then you’re. You’re right, Kenny. He he does. Carter Burke himself. He he tries to escape him. Leave them all for dead while he tries to get away. And that’s the Carter Burke, you know, right. Not even a satisfying death for him. Just a boring death.  Jill  Yeah. It’s not getting eaten on a toilet.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  That’s for sure. No, it is not. And anyway, they all get out and they live happily ever after in only to time to come back now and.  Jill  And we never find out what they did with the.  Quinny  Samples. Ohh really. Nope.  Dion  They kind of say what they plan on doing.  Speaker 7  Jay, just leave the island and that’s it.  Dion  But they don’t say what. There’s no post thing that’s kind of like M we should agree to do this. Yeah, maybe end of film. Ohh alright.  Speaker 7  Yeah.  Dion  Sure.  Quinny  Should we have a clip? And then do our ratings? Do you want to do it the? Other way around I don’t get. I didn’t wanna I. Speaker 7  Whatever works.  Dion  Don’t even wanna play the clip. It’s so dull.  Quinny  Oh.  Dion  Because it’s just the family.  Quinny  Oh, OK.  Dion  No, **** it. I’ll just play the.  Quinny  Clip and the the clip I want to I. On. Want to? I want to see the clip.  Speaker 7  What happened, Dad, where is?  Speaker  He I don’t. Know.  Speaker 8  I’ll go back down. I’ll keep looking.  Speaker 2  Speaker 8  Right.  Speaker 2  What?  Speaker 3  Come on, come on, come on.  Speaker 7  Are you?  Dion  Ohh thank God they all live and no one dies and there are no consequences for anyone in this whatsoever.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yes, I know. Karina. How was he? Out. Swim. The mosa saw. We don’t answer these questions. We just watched the films.  Jill  How were they able to outrun a Tyrannosaurus? How was Kincaid able to outrun the? Montessori’s.  Dion  Rex, why was the mosasaur in the open ocean? Also hunting slash, swimming around with the the with the.  Jill  Spinosaurus that we’re in. The middle of nowhere.  Dion  In the middle of nowhere and those just, they just disappear.  Jill  In the middle of nowhere, an amphibious dinosaur was in the middle of the Atlantic helping a mosasaur hunt. Yep. And then where did it go?  Speaker  Yes.  Dion  They just ****** off. We don’t know. Why?  Jill  Where did it go?  Dion  And then, sorry and then?  Jill  We’re doing spoilers right now, yeah.  Dion  And then and then wait.  Quinny  Right and pretty, Kanga says I have to ask is?  Jill  It really called the Montessori. No, it’s just a really monted looking dinosaur.  Dion  No, we just call it the Montessori. Exactly.  Quinny  Like Distorters Rex, but let’s go with yeah, yeah.  Dion  That’s what we say, like, not Billy and the connoisseurs, Billy and the Montours. The the other thing is that that mosasaur like knocks the boat over that they’re on because it’s it’s whatever, ******* territorial. Who cares. And then right after that. Scene where it kind of just misses the guy getting on the boat. Then it just goes. No, pull it. Now go **** ***. Yeah, and it just ***** off like.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  But it wouldn’t. What? Why? You know.  Jill  This was the stuff that was missing. If they had completely trashed the boat and eaten the family. Would have loved it.  Dion  Fine. Yeah, it could have just been nameless family gone because also as they said it, it just ***** off and then they pick the people up and then the Moses source decides actually, no, the the other boat, that’s the power boat full of mercenaries. That’s the one I’m going to buck up and run aground onto the island. You’re like, wait, it it it could easily funked up a a A. Sailboat, but it knew it had stuff on, and yet it decided to take on the heavily armoured boat.  Jill  Catamaran.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  No good reason.  Quinny  I’m in one of the artworks for this that that like also just want to put it out there the the the art, the thing that first indicated to me that perhaps this movie was a bit **** is that all of the posters and everything that I could find looked like the worst *******.  Speaker  Yes.  Quinny  Photoshop jobs that I’ve ever seen. Like it, it’s pictures of like clearly CGI body with its gullet. Your Hansen’s face just kind of pasted onto it halfway up a Cliff or something like that. Not footage, not shots, anything like that. And there is a design in one of them that I went. The **** is that? It has a beaky kind of face, but it looks a bit like a Raptor.  Jill  Yeah, that’s the new kitchen. Dinosaur. Except we’re doing it in a convenience store, but it’s the exact same secret.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah, the the convenient. The convenient dinosaur.  Jill  Yeah, that’s the Pokémon looking one.  Dion  Yeah, that’s the.  Quinny  Right.  Dion  One is like if you took a. Pelican and you took all the feathers off it. Yeah, kind of.  Jill  Thing it’s a little bit flying. It’s a little bit water tight, but.  Dion  It it’s I I called it the goiter dinosaur because it’s got the big kind of flopped up neck that it kind of does, but it’s just it’s just dull.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Right. It does. Yeah, it has no problem. Like there’s there’s no real reason to do it.  Quinny  Dion  It was just there to be like, oh, this is scarier than a Raptor is like, is it because it’s not? You could have just had a Raptor.  Quinny  Right. OK.  Dion  You could have you could you could have made a Raptor with the plates of a stegosaurus. Or imagine you’re a Raptor with the the the horns with horns like you could have done. Yeah. Yeah, you’re ******* with genetics and stuff too. That ****. Make a Raptor with horns so it could impale people.  Quinny  Like a tricera wrapped. Yeah, or.  Dion  That would be ******* scary.  Quinny  Or what?  Jill  How come when I’m trying to think of that that one?  Quinny  Looked like and I get an anklyosaurus. What? What’s the ones that the the head butting ones they? Ankles, horses or.  Jill  No, that’s the. The.  Dion  I think it’s a goto asaurus.  Quinny  I’ll wait for you.  Jill  Was in the last one. He was in Dominion. I can’t remember.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, I I know. Karina will be able to say Pachycephalosaurus. Yeah, yeah. You know, get a *****. But give that, like, a crown of thorns of of horns or something like that, you know, go for something really ******* out there and mutant and weird. And I’ll be like, OK.  Speaker  Hey.  Speaker 7  Sure.  Quinny  Cool. It sounds like we’re not not weird enough.  Dion  Yeah, I I feel like they’re like, oh, we’re going to do the island of meat and dinosaurs. It’s like, cool. So we don’t really have models that we can do that with because they cost more money. So where do you want to focus on? Is that do we have to keep the other cast of the family with the boat in? Right? It’s like, no, can we get rid of them? No, they have to stay. No, weird dinosaurs. Just use the dinosaurs you already got. It’s it’s a. It’s a bit, yeah. It’s weird, right? So ratings.  Quinny  Yeah, I was gonna say drop some numbers at me like and and if you’ve seen it in the chat, which I know Karina has. You know, drop some of that with with a number after it, so I know what’s gone on.  Dion  25-O Jesus just ******.  Speaker  Wow.  Dion  It’s it’s annoying on both sides. It it? It neuters the dinosaurs and their effectiveness and their scariness, and it also neuters the really good cast you had. And the smart things you could have done and the director, I feel. I feel like everyone kind of. Got. Castrated by this, for whatever reason, I don’t understand why I didn’t like it that much, and I would probably no, I can’t really defend. I’m thinkin

In the 41st episode of Tea with Kings and Queens I was lucky enough to sit down with Tom McConnell, Liverpool-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and mastermind behind the surrealist pop project Novelty Island. Tom first caught my attention with the incredible DIY visuals he makes for his music videos and we chat today quite a bit about his processes around claymation, animation and papier-mâché. We also talk about his latest EP, ‘Taped Over', the place for nostalgia in song writing, video & cassette culture plus the hazards of going to a print shop and printing off hundreds of copies of your own face.

In the 40th episode of Tea with Kings and Queens (gasp!) I was delighted to spend some time getting to know the gender bending public menace Don Binary, a London based host and performer who has been causing chaos on stages since January of this year. As a new drag artist but a seasoned performer as a writer, actor and singer, we had a wonderful chat about how Don is thoughtfully exploring his drag voice and expression and ultimately, finding joy. This chat is a real celebration of all that is weird, subversive and rebellious about drag.

We're still basking in the glow of Eurovision here in Liverpool, so today is a special Eurovision episode with Liverpool-based Franz Genau, a German Drag King, international cabaret comedian, and clown daddy of the Liverpool alternative scene. Franz is a host and producer, including Quiz with the Queers (a camp blend of pub quiz and Queer ridiculousness) and SPEW, the scratch night for young Queer performers. Every first Wednesday he also fills the airways with his own radio show DRAG DINGS, together with his partner in crime, Dan Chan.Franz performed all through the Eurovision celebrations here in the city and like me is a bit of a super fan. So as well as re-living all things Eurovision that have consumed the city over the last two weeks (including Sophie Ellis-Bextor playing a set in John Lewis), we chat about the German and UK cabaret scene, Franz's very particular brand of drag: subverting masculine stereotypes with effeminate performances, and we also discuss the importance of scratch nights to encourage a new, diverse range of performers gain confidence.

S For the last 5 months I have been challenged through the RealMen300 group I'm a part of to have a consistent quiet time with God I wanted to share a few things I have learned and offer some ideas for why you should consider adding or increasing your quiet time and some ways to go about doing it. Specifically, I'd like to talk about they Why, the What, and the How of Quiet times. Let's start with the Why. As Christians, I think we can all agree our most important relationship should be with our Creator. The question is, how do we actually make it our most important relationship.  As with any relationship, it's not enough just to say it's important or that it's our most important relationship. What are we actually DOING to show that. As with any relationship, an important measure of the value we place on our relationship with God is how much time do we devote with HIm and to what degree to we do what pleases Him.  I'll save the discussion of what it mean to do what please Him for another episode, but how do we measure both the quality and quantity of time we spend with Him. One measure is how much we talk with Him in prayer, both in terms of quantity, i.e. total time spent in prayer, frequency i.e. how often we pray, and quality, i.e. how genuine and heartfelt is our prayer vs. just being a check-the-box repetition. So to summarize, the Why we should want to do a Quiet time is because God is our most important relationship and spending time with Him is an important way to demonstrate it's our most important relationship. Now let's talk about the WHAT. What a quiet time means to me is devoting a specific time every day to do 3 things, pray to God, read the Bible, and journal which is basically asking God questions and writing down what You believe He is saying to you in response, i.e. having a 2-way conversation. Let's talk about each of those points. First, devoting a specific time.  With most habits, I've found if you're going to be consistent, you have to schedule it rather than just hoping it happens.  If you can get to bed early enough, I suggest you schedule your quiet time for the first thing in the morning.  For me, it's kind of like tithing.  If you prioritize tithing, then it's the first line item in your monthly budget and everything else comes after it.  In the same way, you make sure the most important activitiy of your day is done first so you make sure it happens. So the first step in devoting a specific time is schedule it, and if you decide to do it first thing in the morning, then the next step is to plan your evening so that you get to bed early enough so you get a good night's rest and still get up early enough for a quiet time. Now let's talk about the 3 parts to a quiet time.  The first part, prayer, is actually 2 parts.  I suggest you pray when you begin your quiet time as well as when you end your quiet time.  You're kind of sandwiching your bible reading and journaling with prayer. We could multiple episodes just talking about prayer but I'll just briefly suggest here that you be real with God.  Be honest with Him about where you are and what you're thinking and feeling at that time.  I've heard a couple acronyms you might find useful.  One is the word WAR, W-A-R, where you first worship God, then ask him for forgiveness, then make requests.  Another acronym is ACTS, like the books of ACTS, A-C-T-S.  The A is for adoration or worship, the C is for confesion, the T is for thanksgiving, and the S is for supplication which is a fancy word for making requests.  And of course you can use what we call the Lord's prayer as a guide for your prayer as well. So the second part is to read the Bible.  I suggest you read  one chapter.  You may have a Bible reading plan, for example a schedule for reading the Bible in a year.  I would suggest your quiet time should be different and separate from your Bible reading plan.  One suggestion for what chapter is to "read for the need" and use a topical bible search on a topic yo'ure dealing with like https://www.openbible.info/topics/, or just Google "Bible verse for blank". If you read a chapter and don't feel God is speaking to you, I suggest you pick another chapter or read the next chatpter. The third part is the journaling.  One decision is whether to go old school and paper and pen or digital.  I use the Evernote app to journaling and just about everything else but whatever works for you. The technique I've learned from the REalMen300 and applied is the SPACE method.   The S stands for SIN, what sin is God telling you that you need to confess. The P is Promise, what promise is God giving you. A is for attitud or application.  what change in you attitude is God asking you to make or how do feel God is asking you to apply the reading to your life. THe C is command. WHat is God commanding you to do? The E is for Example  What example is being offered for you to follow.  Of course Jesus or Yeshua is our perfect example. but there ar emany men and women in the Bible that we can look to as both positive and negative examples, or perhaps the reading makes you think of someone in your life that God wants to use as an example for you. I use the Bible Gateway app for reading which makes it very easy to copy and paste into Evernote the specfiic verse that is jumping out at me for each of the letters in SPACE. So those are the highlights of what I've learned so far. The last thing I would add is the importance of finding a way to be accountable for doing this.  I'm in an accountability group with RealMen300 where we report out to our group how many days in the previous week we read the Bible and journaled.  This can be very motivating.    E Encouragement Prayer using Amen Awake Mid-day Evening Night   L Laughter "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." - Proverbs 17:22   A For  whom the  Lord  loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

In today's episode am talking to a titan of the influencer world, UK based J-fashion & lifestyle creator, Addy Harajuku. With a following of over 100,000 Instagram followers and more than half a million on Tiktok, Addy's content has earned her the title of one of the top UK based content creators within her field. She has modelled for key J-fashion brands and most recently has collaborated with koi footwear on her own range.Addy's personal fashion is based in the Yamikawaii and Menhera subcultures. For those unfamiliar with J-fashion, Yamikawaii is a Japanese aesthetic that has an emphasis on dark themes and colors and Menhera fashion uses medical imagery like pills, plasters, and syringes. Its considered a ‘vent art' style, regarded as form of art therapy that helps the wearer. In addition, vent art is now seen an important way to challenge social stigmas and encourage conversations around mental health.Addy's content is a brilliant combination of Yamikawaii fashion and style, alongside informative and interesting videos about key cultural issues, including art theft, Asian fishing, cringe culture, AI art trends, and various issues around mental health and neurodiversity.Addy's trademark honest, open and uncompromising style has made her one of my favourite creators, and in today's chat we talk about her explosion online and all that comes with it, her journey in fashion and how it links to her own self-expression and mental health. Just a quick warning: There are swears in out chat plus discussion of self-harm and suicide, so listener discretion advised. Enjoy the episode!Thanks to Joe Bailey for the intro/outro music, Sam Murphy for the cover art and you for listening!Podcast by Carly Deering.Addy on InstragramAddy on TikTokAddy's collab with Koi FootwearAddy's interview in Vice Magazine on Menhera fashion opening up discussions on mental health Hosted on Acast.

We do that through the connection card you can get in the back of the worship center, if you fill it out, and then just leave it there on the way out, we'll get in touch with you over the course of the week. With that said, would you please pray with me over the preaching of God's Holy Word?Heavenly Father, we thank you for the start of a new sermon series through this incredible book of 2 Corinthians. We thank you, Lord, that you called your servant, Paul, to yourself. Is by your will that he became an Apostle, and you're the one who inspired him with the Holy Spirit to write these holy words. We pray right now Holy Spirit, come take these words and apply them to us individually as Christians, apply them to us as a church. St. Paul wasn't just writing to the church in Corinth, he was writing to the church in Boston. He knew the same problems that they had there, we will encounter and do encounter. And it's only by your spirit that we can make our way through.I pray Holy Spirit, focus our attention on Jesus Christ, who truly unites us. We're in Christ, we're one body in Christ, and we have one mission from Christ, to go and make disciples of all nations and all nations are here. They're all around us. They are our neighbors. And I pray during the sermon series, that you ignite our hearts for sharing the gospel, proclaiming the gospel, speaking it, each one of us to get a vision of each one of us speaking to our friends and our neighbors. There is only one hope, There is only one way to be saved, to be reconciled with God, to be forgiven of sin. I pray Lord during the series, save many, draw them to yourself. I pray that you send awakening, a great awaken, use George Whitfield right here in the Boston Common, he preached to 30,000 people. Lord why not? Why not? Why not now and why not us? I pray that you bless our time with the Holy Scriptures and I pray all this in Jesus name. Amen.We today are beginning a sermon series through 2 Corinthians, we're calling it prodigal church season two, we did season one a few years ago. It's online if you want to listen. And season two, we're going through 2 Corinthians. Why are we calling it prodigal church? Because the church has always been in a sense prodigal, because the church is full of saints who are still sinners. You're saved, but you're still in the flesh. There's still temptation of the flesh of the world of Satan all around us. So it's a tug of war for each one of us and it's a tug of war for the faithfulness of the church.I remember a few years back, I was taking my daughters to school, and right here off of Babcock Street on the sidewalk, I saw a little plant growing through a crack, just from a crack, a little plant. And I just kept watching it every day as I'm taking my girls to school and little by little by little, I realized there was a tomato plant. And then finally I'm walking to school and there's a little tiny tomato hanging off the plant. For me, that was a sign from God, an illustration, an image of what it means to be a Christian in Boston, Massachusetts, and what it means to be a church in Boston, Massachusetts. And we've been at this for ... we're going to be celebrating a decade come October, and it's just a decade of God's faithfulness.I was at a convenience store in Austin this week, and the owner of the store's a guy named Pete. And I met Pete when he just opened the store right before the pandemic. And anytime I go in there and I asked him how he's doing, he says the same thing. I'm still here. And he asked me how I'm doing and I'm like, I'm still here. We're still here. We're still at it. And he told me, he said, I'm from India. I'm from India. And we have a saying in India that if you start something, you need to know that you are not quitting that thing for three years. Whatever it is that you start, do not quit that thing for three years. And I said, why three years? He said, 1,000 days. And I don't know why, but that just connected. 1,000 days.I bring that in to say this is how St. Paul viewed his church planting work. He started a church in Corinth. He spent 18 months, a year and a half in Corinthians, he started the church with his disciples Timothy and Silas and the godly couple Aquila and Priscilla, and they went to Corinth because Corinth was strategic. It was the number three city in the Roman Empire after Alexandria and Rome. It was situated in the Isthmus of Greece. So it was a master of harbors, they call, it was the crossroads of the Roman Empire. They call that passage of all mankind. It was economically bustling.So people would go to Corinth to make a new life for themselves, a name for themselves, to create wealth for themselves and their family. It was a city filled with materialism and pride and self-confidence. There was sports, entertainment, the isthmian games were held there, they had a theater for 18,000 people, a concert hall for 3,000 people. People went there to make a life for themselves and people went there to sin. Those are their goals. I'm going to get away from my family and get away from my traditions, I'm going to go where no one knows me and I can be whoever I want to be. I'm going to recreate an identity. I'm going to indulge. And St. Paul knew that if we plant a church here in this strategic place where people are coming and going, very transient, very expensive, we plant the church here. We're going to reach the Roman Empire. He spends 18 months there, then he leaves and then he starts hearing about problems. He sends a first letter to the Corinthian church by the hand of Titus. We learned about this the 1 Corinthians. That letter preceded 1 Corinthians.So there's actually three letters that St. Paul sent this church, the first one we don't have, it didn't enter the canon. The second one we do have in 1 Corinthians. And in 1 Corinthians, we see St. Paul writing a letter as a father to his children who are in sin, and he understands if they continue in sin, they are going to die eternally. It's a very difficult letter, 1 Corinthians, he dealt with a number of serious problems, divisions that marred the Brotherhood, a toleration of scandalous behavior, even incest. There were certain men consorting with prostitutes and they were asserting a Christian right to do so, they're free in the Lord, brothers taking one another court, lovelessness of relationships express in the practice of the Lord's Supper where people weren't waiting for the poor people who worked all day. This agreement about eating of meat offered to idols participation and banquets, held in pagan temples. They misuse the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit, confusion about the resurrection of the dead. It must have been a hard letter to write, it must have been even harder for them to read and to apply.No one likes being rebuked, not even by your dad. No one likes being rebuked. No one likes being taken to the woodshed. And that's what 1 Corinthians was. And Paul must have wondered, what do they think? How do they feel about him, and 1 Corinthians makes it clear that someone in the Corinthian church already had a negative opinion about him. So what we learn in this letter in 2 Corinthians that Paul planned to meet Titus to get an update, how's it going in Corinth, and he finally meets Titus, after missing him in Troas, meets him in Philippi, and Titus reports and he says, look, the people who were insane, they are repenting furiously, things are on the mend, the church is doing better, in many ways, but it wasn't all good news. There were still a group of people in the church that refused to submit to St. Paul's authority. There are also false teachers that arrived seeking to advance their own claims, doing their best to discredit Paul, impugn, malign his character, which explains why Paul shares so much of his personal character and story in 2 Corinthians.So with that context, Paul writes another letter. He relentlessly loves this church. He realized my 1,000 days are not up yet. I'm going to keep pursuing, and that's what 2 Corinthians is all about. Today we're in 2 Corinthians 1, 1 through 11. Would you please look at the text with me? Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God and Timothy, our brother, to the Church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia, grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our afflictions, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ, we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted it's for your comfort and salvation, if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken. For we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.We do not want you to be ignorant brothers, the affliction we experienced in Asia, for we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength and weak that we despaired of life itself, indeed we felt that we had received a sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again. You also must help us by prayer so that many will give thanks in our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many. This is the reading of God's holy infallible, authoritative word, may you write these eternal truths upon our hearts.Three points to frame up our time. First, love like a sibling, parent the children. Second love like a sinner saint. And third, love number one, anxious less about the rest, and I'll explain what that means. First, love like a sibling, parent the children. Paul begins the letter by explaining that he is a fellow sibling in the church, with the brothers and sisters, the Adelphi, with the other Christians, we are a family. Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy, our brother. So Paul here at the same time that he is pointing to his authority saying, I'm a brother just like you, we are siblings, God is our father, Timothy, our brother, Timothy is with Paul as he writes. Paul calls him a brother later on the text. He addresses the Corinthian church as Adelphi, as brothers and sisters.On the one hand, St. Paul views Timothy as a brother, but if you read first and second Timothy, what does he call Timothy? My precious child. My child. And now this is getting trippy. How are you brothers and your brother's your child? Well, he's talking about spiritual family, and as spiritual family, yes, we are siblings. But my friends, as you grow in the faith, you cannot always remain a sibling, especially as your parents age. In your family, in your family, I have four siblings, and in my family, I am the older brother, and then I have three sisters and a younger brother. And as my parents age, I see just a deeper desire to care for my own siblings in a way that my dad does. My dad has his own relationship with my siblings, with each one of them just like I have my own relationship with each one of the siblings. I have a group chat with each single one of them, and then we have group chat where there's three of us, excluding the other two. And then we did a group chat of the four of us excluding one. And then there's a group chat of the five of us, but my dad can't do that. My dad's got a group chat of the whole family because he cares for the whole family.This is St. Paul group chat letter to the whole family. I'm your brother, but I'm also your dad. And he calls himself an Apostle, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, he's an Apostle. He's an Apostle ... a capital A, I don't know why in the ESV they may have small A, is capital A, he's one of the 12. He's one of the 12 called by Jesus Christ and you had to see the resurrected Christ I witnessed and Jesus called you and Jesus allowed you to see the resurrected of Christ. St. Paul wasn't initially part of the 12, he became the 12th after Judas betrayed Jesus, and Jesus shows up and meets Paul on the road to Damascus. Why does St. Paul start with this? By the will of God. He didn't choose this. God chose me to do this by the will of God. And he's bringing his apostolic credentials because they were under attack. And the opening salvo here in the beginning is a defense of his divine authority as a messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ. The resurrected Christ himself called Paul to follow him and to reject the authority of Paul the Apostle is to reject the authority of Christ. God chose Paul, God filled him with a spirit, and to reject the writings of Paul is to reject God.I say that because this is still relevant. This is all relevant. So many in the church today say I love the writings of Jesus. I don't like the writings of Paul. Well, here's something, is like fun fact Bible trivia. Jesus never wrote anything. The only time Jesus wrote anything was with his finger when the woman caught in adultery was brought to Him, the Pharisees are like, alright, what are we going to do? And Jesus is writing on the ground. I don't know what He wrote. No one knows what he wrote. That was the only thing Jesus Christ ever wrote. So every single book that we have in the New Testament is a book written by either an Apostle, or someone who had a close relation with the Apostle, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. So we do not have the right as Christians to pick and choose. This isn't a buffet. You take it or leave it. And that's why St. Paul starts with this.And also, he says, Paul, by the will of God, Paul belongs to Christ, the authority that God gives to Paul belongs to Christ. And Paul doesn't own the church. In the same way that Paul belongs to Christ, and Paul's authority belongs to Christ. The church belongs to Christ. Who does the right to? To the church of Paul, although Paul started the church. No, he says to the Church of God, it's not my church. This church isn't my church. It's not your church. This is God's church, and we are God's people assembled under God's word, to worship God, and we're filled with the Holy Spirit of God. He says, grace to you and peace from God, our Father, in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're all under God's grace, and the only way to peace is with God.2 Corinthians is the most personal of all Paul's letters. He shares details, autobiographical details that he doesn't share in other places. The book is full of references to people, places, events, only shared here in the New Testament. Why? Because Paul is defending himself against the attacks of people who are vying for authority. So Paul rises to his own defense, because his character and credentials as an Apostle are under attack. And he knows if you attack my credentials as an Apostle, you are actually questioning the authority of the Holy Spirit. The false teachers accused Paul of being ... and I find this hilarious because they couldn't find anything wrong with this guy's character. So the only thing they could find was the fact that he didn't keep his appointments.So later on in this book, this is what they talk about, is Paul, you promised that you are going to come visit us as a church and you did not. And Paul couldn't make it. And then they said, because he couldn't make it, he couldn't be trusted. Paul originally had planned two visits to Corinth, and that changed in Acts 20, he changed to one longer visit. But they didn't understand that they were unforeseen circumstances and reasonable people understand the plans change. But not all people are reasonable. And these false teachers seize on innocent harmless things and they make issues of them. And on the basis of this change [inaudible] of his likeness, of his flip flopping, and this is 2 Corinthians 1:7. He says," was I vacillating when I wanted to do this", meaning come visit? "Do I make my plans according to the flesh ready to say yes, yes, and no, no at the same time?"And this is what's challenging, I don't even remotely come close to St. Paul. But there is this challenge of when you are called by God to proclaim God's [inaudible] mouthpiece for God that's absolutely flawless. And St. Paul's like, I'm not God. I'm not Jesus. Yes, I wanted to come visit you guys, but I was caught in a shipwreck, I was beaten, I was stoned ... and not the Austin kind of stone, like literally stoned 40 lashes, this happened five times. I'm not God. And this is balance of like, yes, this person is called by God and filled with the Spirit, but I'm not God. Yes, sometimes I wake up and I'm in a bad mood and I don't even know why, and then I realize is because I haven't had coffee. I know. And I say that because I'm just a dude. That's what Paul's saying, I'm the Apostle, but I'm just a dude. I'm just a guy. I'm just trying to love Jesus as much as I possibly can, fight sin with everything I got. Love my wife, love my girls, but I'm just a dude.Every once in a while I just want to sit back and watch the Sox, watch the Pats, every once in a while I just want to talk about ... whatever, whatever. You know what saying. You know what I'm saying. I have people in my life who I just hang out with, because they don't expect anything out of me. You're a dude, I'm a dude, you know what I'm saying. So that's part of what Paul is doing here, is your expectations of me are unrealistic. I'm just a dude. That's his response. And this is what these people are saying, the false teachers are claiming that Paul isn't to be trusted.Later on they say, hey, Paul, where's your letters of recommendation? So they accuse him of not having the credentials that he himself had given to Timothy. He had sent letters of recommendation about Timothy to the Corinthians, and then Corinthians are like, where's your letters of recommendation? And St. Paul's like, letters of recommendation? I'm the guy that writes the letters of recommendation. I'm the Apostle. What are you talking about? And then they begin to question his authority. And he's like, you're questioning my authority? You're only Christians because of me. You exist the church in Corinth, you want to authenticate my authority, the fact that you are a Christian. It would be like my daughter Milana who looks the most like me. I take that as a compliment, because she's very beautiful. She looks the most like me. That would be like her coming up to me, would be like, Dad, show me a DNA test that you're my dad. Look in the mirror. Look in the mirror. That's exactly what's going on, is Paul's spiritual children are coming to him and they're like you're not our dad. He's like, what are you talking about?And this group of false teachers also undermine Paul's authority. Why? To increase their own authority. That's what's happening. So Paul writes this letter and he addresses the issues one after another, in the final four chapters, what he does is he exposes the false teachers, answers insinuations that they spread about his character. Here's what I've been wrestling with this whole week. Paul poured his life into this church, into these people, and then he sees it just unravel a little here, he's going to write a letter and then it unravels again, he's going to write 1 Corinthians, unravels again, he's going to write 2 Corinthians, and after 2 Corinthians, he goes, he spends three more months with them. But what he sees is it just unravels, it's one thing after another, bad theology, bad morale, turf wars, petty jealousies, empire building. I'm sure he he was wounded, injured, emotionally, because these people whom he loved so much quickly go from loving him to deep suspicion, from seeing the best in him to believing the worst about this man that God used to save them. And he could have just thrown up his hands and said, you know what, fine, fine. Good luck. Have a nice life. I am done. I'm doneski. I'm going to a different church. I'm going to a different city. I am out of here. You want to follow false teachers, go ahead. But he doesn't.And this is really ... for some of you, this might be hard to understand, why doesn't he? Why doesn't he just quit? And I'll tell you why. Because dads, good dads do not disown their kids. Good dads do not give up on their kids. You keep loving, you keep pursuing. And this St. Paul, he viewed himself as a spiritual father. He took responsibility for this church. It's not my church, it's God's Church. Ultimately, I want them to know God, that's the best thing for my kids, for them to know God. So here's the practical application, dear friends. Do you view yourself only as a brother or a sister, as a sibling in the church? If so, I want to give you a vision for being a spiritual father or mother, where you come into this church and you're like, oh, we need older people, and I hear this all the time, we need older people and I'm only like 20, I'm only like 25.Let me tell you something. When Jesus called his disciples, how old were they? How old were the other Apostles when Jesus called them to himself? Only one of them was over the age of 19. And that was Peter. Because Peter and Jesus were the only ones who had to pay the temple tax. And the temple tax was, if you're 19, now you are responsible for the finances of this temple. All of the other guys were teenagers. In the Hebrew culture in Israel, you become a man at 13. So Jesus Christ, He picked up these guys who were 14, 15, 16, 17, they were all under 19, except for one, and then Jesus gets resurrected and then He sends in the Holy Spirit. Now Peter gets up, he's probably in his early 20s, preaches a sermon, and 3,000 people get saved. Now, these young people, early 20s, are spiritual fathers and mothers in the church. Do you view yourself as a spiritual father or mother? And here's what I mean. You take responsibility for the health of everyone else.For some of you, that's hard to understand, Because the only human life that you are responsible for is your own and you might have another life that you care for, that's your pet. For some of you, your only fatherhood or motherhood is being a dog mom or a dog dad. That's the only ... So this concept is ... This is weird. But this is a true reality that yes, you become a child of God. When you regenerate, you become a child of God. Now you're an infant, now you're a toddler, now you're growing, you're a sibling in the family, but you got to get to a point where you are actually responsible for the church. And this is my prayer that over the course of this series, that you catch this vision that I am responsible. So in your community, I'm responsible for the spiritual health of these people. So I got to care for them. I got to love them. I got to know them. And if we get a vision for that, it's going to change everything. And that explains why St. Paul is willing to deal with the suffering. A lot of people think the Christian life is like a marathon. You just keep running and keep running and keep ... and it's not a marathon, it's not a ... I don't like that analogy.The Christian life is like a 12 round boxing match, where every single round for three minutes you're going full tilt and then you get a water break and a breather for 30 seconds, 45 seconds as you sit on the stool and coach Jesus massaging your traps, and then you get back in. It's a slugfest. Here's the thing about fighting and I love fighting movies, I love combat sports in general. Here's the thing. The best guys always have something to fight for. And those are the stories that really capture our imagination, that captivate us. You have something to fight for, and that something can't just be money. It's always the family. It's Adrian, that's who it is. It's the boxers who are like, I just had a baby. Now I'm going to go kill a man in a ring. It's that. But it's like, even if I'm not good, I'm going to get pummeled and whatever, I'm going to get check at the end of this whole ... that's what I'm ... So St. Paul is that. He deals with that suffering because he's doing what's best for the family. He's willing to suffer because he wants the best for the family. So that's point one.Point two is love like a sinner saint. So these people have caused him a lot of pain. They've injured him emotionally, and then Paul writes and he's like, yes, I'm an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy, our brother to the Church of God, that is in Corinth of God has a church. And the universal church is localized. It's in Corinth, all the saints were in the whole of Achaia, what does he call them? What does he call them? He calls them saints. You're saints. They've sinned. One guy was sleeping with his mother in law, or step mom or something, that's 1 Corinthians 5, just scandalous. And he writes, some guys were sleeping with prostitutes, and they're like, we're doing evangelism, and St. Paul, what? Are you nuts? And he writes, he calls them saints, he addresses them as saints, no matter all the trouble they had cause them, he calls them saints, you're set apart, you're the holy people of God.And what St. Paul understands is that even the saints, the holy ones can behave badly from time to time, and they weren't saints because of their behavior. They weren't saints because they were perfect. They weren't saints because of their righteous. There's a lot of people who aren't familiar with the teachings of Christianity, they don't understand this and they come in, they're like, a lot of Christians are hypocrites. A lot of Christians are hypocrites. Some of you have unbelieving friends, who would be better Christians than you are. I've got friends like that. The reason why we're saints isn't because of our behavior, the reason why we're saints is because we're in Christ. It's our position in Christ. The way you become a Christian is you repent of your sin and you trust in Jesus Christ, was saved by grace through faith. Not because of any works, nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing that you do makes you a Christian. The only thing that you add to your justification is your sin. That's the only thing that you added. You're only a Christian because Jesus, you're only a Christian because Jesus chose you and set you apart.1 Corinthians 1:30 through 31. And because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that as it is written, let the one who boasts boast in the Lord, grace to you and peace ... No, not grace, but yes, grace to you, that only comes from Jesus. The point is, the sanctification from Jesus, the righteous ... everything is from Jesus. So St. Paul was so effective as a minister in the church because he understood that he himself was a sinner saint. No matter what sin he saw in the church, he never lost sight of the fact that I used to murder Christians and God saved me. So when I see sin in the church ... This is a life hack. This is a life hack. Let me just share this with you. You want to learn to love people well? Never lose sight of the fact that you're a sinner. And then when they sin against you, you're not shocked. I know. I'm whatever, the same.So in the church, when the saints are sinning against him, he's never lost sight of the fact that he's a sinner as well. And he's reminding them that, hey, you're not just sinners, you're also saints. So you need to grow into your full potential of being as a saint. So with Christians, this is why he was so tenacious and relentless in his love. And with unbelievers, understanding the fact that they're sinners and you're a sinner just like them, the only difference between them and you is the fact that Jesus saved you, then you can relate to them. When you look at them and you see their sin, you're like, man, I understand. I'd be living just like you if Jesus didn't save me. So now I can speak your language. I can understand ... We relate, we can connect. Some Christians forget, but still don't forget that you're a saint, even when evangelizing, don't forget you're a saint and don't forget that you're a sinner within the church and St. Paul never forgot even when he was wounded.With evangelism, this is how I view with evangelism, when I see an unbeliever, man, I just look at them like ayah, not only do I relate, but you have so much potential to be a saint. If you Go saved, oh my, we live in a city of St. Paul's. Imagine if the people around us is God saved, we live in the city of CS Lewis's. We live in a city of like, man, if you've God saved, this is how I view every single unbeliever. If you God saved, we would have some crazy awakening. I got a roommate from college that I grew up with, we were roommates for three years. This is how I view. I've told him. I'm like bro ... and he's Jewish. I'm like, you'd be just like Paul. If he's just like Jesus, you need to get saved. If that mind and those talents that you have now get filled with the Holy ... Oh my. So that's with unbelievers.And then with believers, I never lose sight of the fact that you're a sinner and I look at you and when I see you sin, I'm like, you had so much potential to be a sinner. You had tremendous potential. You will be so bad. I can't believe God saved you. So this right here, the sinner saint paradox when it becomes real to you, it changes the way you do ministry in the church and changes the way you do ministry with unbelievers. And that's why St. Paul, he calls them saints and those are sinners. And what does he do? This is incredible. In verse 10, he asked them for help. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us, on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. You also must help us by prayer. Pray for me. Could you pray for me? So that many will give thanks in our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many. St. Paul, he's like, could you pray for me? And this is really sneaky. He's asking his spiritual kids to pray for him. This is incredibly sneaky. He's asking the people who are fighting him. Don't trust him, pray for him.It's sneaky because I do this with my kids. Every single Sunday, I walk with one of my daughters to church and today I'm walking with my daughter Ekaterina. She's my third one. She is six and she's going to be seven in December and she wants a pet. She wants a pet so bad. She started off with a dog, I went to fish and now we met at parakeet. I asked her, could you pray for me? Could you pray for me? And she's praying for me. It's just natural. Well, what does that ... all of a sudden, that's becoming part of our life. I'm going to pray. I'm going to pray for ... dad needs prayer. I'm going to help Dad out. That's part of the growth process and this is what it means to grow spiritually. It means to grow from just being a sibling to a spiritual father or a mother, and it's growing from being just a saint, a sinner just barely a saint, to growing as a saint. It's through nutritious food, it's through the Scriptures.Hebrews 5:12-14. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again, the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. The most practical way that you become a spiritual parent, is you begin to feed children. You feed them. Well, what do you feed them with? You feed them with scriptures, the Holy Word of God. Well, in order to feed them, you got to learn how to feed yourself first. And then you have to learn how to take the word and create a meal, and now you're cooking for your children and then you're feeding your kids. This is how you grow into a spiritual parent. A lot of you go to church to get fed. This is what you do, I go to church to ... Oh, I didn't like that church. It didn't feed me. I'm going to a different church to be fed. You need to start cooking. And to start cooking, you got to know your ingredients and you got to know the cookbook, you got to know the Holy Scriptures.And then point three is love number one, and anxious less about the rest. Here's what I mean. St. Paul was a man who was willing to suffer and he was willing to experience physical and spiritual pain. And the reason why he was doing it is because he cared about the primary thing. He cared about God, he cared about God's mission, he cared about God's church, he cared about the Holy Scriptures. Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else shall be added on to you. In that text, he says, don't worry. Don't worry about money. Don't worry about food. Don't worry about clothing. Seek first the kingdom of God. So he's saying, the problem is a lot of you are riddled with anxiety about things that don't really matter. And when you start caring about the thing that really matters, and you begin to endure pain, even despite the fact that there is pain, your pain tolerance goes up. And then when you deal with these problems that actually are eternally consequential, problems of other people's souls, problems in the church, then you go back to the real world, and those problems kind of don't really feel like problems.When you care about a friend's soul and eternal soul, you care about sharing the gospel, and you're fighting, vying with God in prayer, God save this person, you get up and you don't ... you're not really that worried about how you look or your weight, or your bank account, or what you're going to eat that day, you got more important issues. And I get this principle and the reason why I focus on this principle now is because we see this principle all throughout 2 Corinthians, but look at Philippians 4: 4-7, Paul wrote, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Don't be anxious about anything. And a lot of people are like, well, how do I do that? And they're missing the other piece.Do not be anxious about anything, does not mean do not be anxious about anything. Do not be anxious about anything means don't be anxious about secondary stuff. And I get this because Saint Paul was a man who had anxiety, but he had anxiety, but the most important thing ... in 2 Corinthians 11, he gives us a whole list of resume of his suffering, and you can read it on your own. But then at the end, this is the punchline of the resume. He says apart from other things, that's the physical suffering, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for whom, for all the churches, who was weakened, and I'm not weak, who was made to fall and I'm not indignant, because I had anxiety for the churches.I had anxiety for the things that really matter, anxiety for eternal souls. And when you start caring about eternal souls like this, and you're willing to overcome whatever suffering comes in the way of proclaiming the gospel and sharing the gospel to your friends and caring for the church. Well, you go back to your job and you get an inbox of 300 emails. You're not that worried about it because your friend got saved. You know what I'm saying? Eternity of change. So this right here ... and then you can do your work without anxiety. And this is like a life hack. And then you do ... like this isn't the thing. It's like we'll take his stuff, it's just money, it's materialism, and when you care about the primary thing, you're less anxious about everything else. So St. Paul does start with, the God who is blessed, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 1:3, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. He starts with the fact that we worship a God that allows his children to be afflicted. We worship a father, a Heavenly Father, allows his children to suffer. We worship a God, who like a good general allows his soldiers to suffer. And he does this so that we are now better equipped to comfort others. He grows us as ministers to make us more useful. He allows us to go through suffering to increase our pain tolerance. This is what St. Paul is saying. He's saying, God allowed this, the word comfort here is in the noun and verb appears 10 times verses three through seven. St. Paul is saying, look, you are worried that in keeping appointment, and he does later on in the book. He's like, let me tell you what I've been through. I almost died time and time and time again. I'm sorry that I didn't come to the appointment.As I said, I suffered, and he says we suffered and we do this to share abundantly, verse five, for as we share abundantly in Christ's suffering, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. In Philippians St. Paul says that he aspires to have a fellowship in Christ sufferings. If you really want to know Christ, you need to know his suffering. And when you know his suffering, when you experience his suffering, you realize that he is closer to you than ever, and he comforts you. And what you realize is that there is true, true comfort, and we have access to true comfort. He's not just talking about physical suffering, he's not just talking about sickness. Christians aren't the only ones who experience sickness. Christians aren't the only ones who suffer loss. Christians aren't the only ones who are persecuted. In general, he's saying for the faith, for the faith.Jesus Christ said in John 5:18 through 20, if the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, a servant is not greater than his master, if they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they kept my word, they will always keep yours. I used to read texts like this, and I thought that's not in our lifetime. I no longer read texts like that. I do believe we're going to see persecution, Christians will see persecution in our lifetimes, in this country, just for being Christians, just for proclaiming the Word of God and dear Christian, are you ready? Are you ready to stand up and are you ready to say, yes, I am a Christian and yes, I'm not budging, I'm not recanting. Kill me. Kill me. I know exactly where I'm going. Do me a favor. No, don't. But you know what saying? I'm going to heaven. I'm going to heaven. And I'm going to proclaim the gospel until the very last second that my heart is beating. Are you ready?It starts like you before the battle, you need to prepare yourself. And St. Paul says, God does allow the suffering, and you need to know we have an enemy and Satan does attack Christians and he does attack the church. And obviously, the followers of Satan will attack us and will attack the church. But God allows us to suffer and suffer a lot so that after suffering, we begin to be more sympathetic and tender hearted and more helpful and hopeful. When trials mount, the coffee mug that you have at home with like a trite little Christian, saying platitude, it's not helpful, it's not helpful. When trials come, what you need is to sit down with a sage, who's been through it and you sit down with a Gandalf, who's been through it, white beard, I've been through the suffering, I know how much it hurts, but also I know how much stronger you get. And I know that there is access to true deep waters of comfort that God sends. And the more useful you want to be in the church, like if you want to grow as a spiritual a father or a mother, that means you're going to be in positions of leadership where you're leading other people.Well, if you are in a position of leadership, you're calling shots. And you need to know that if you want to be the one calling the shots, you will take shots, is pain tolerance. That's it. It's a key to growth in the Christian faith, it's the key to effectiveness and fruitful ministry. 2 Corinthians 1:6, if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. St. Paul says, you know why I'm willing to deal with this, I'm willing to suffer as much as I do, because I know it's for your good.Last week, my wife was visiting her family in Philadelphia, and she texts me pictures of just their life, and I'm sitting in my basement, I work in my basement, just concrete all around and just Ah back electricity. I have an air quality thing down there just to make sure I'm not going to die of lung cancer anytime soon. So that's where I work. It's kind of like a dungeon. I call it the dungeon and I do it and I write my sermons there and I feel like I read more spiritual sermons because St. Paul was in the dungeon etc., etc.And then I'm sitting in the dungeon and my wife sends me a picture of my youngest daughter at a hibachi place in Philadelphia, like a swanky spot, for some reason, it's half off. And she's sitting in front of this whole massive thing of food with the biggest smile. And I hearted, and I'm like, she's living her best life now. And I was thinking about that. I'm like, if I were there and I had that food, I would not experience nearly the amount of joy of getting that picture and seeing my daughter living and enjoying life. I'm willing to do the suffering. And I learned this from my dad. He's an immigrant dad. He was willing to go through suffering for the betterment of his children. And this spiritually speaking is the principle of usefulness. A. W. Tozer said is doubtful that God can bless a man greatly unless he is hurt him deeply. Because when God does allow pain, a great pain, he also provides a great cure.Verse 7, our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:8, for we do not want you to be unaware, brothers of the affliction we experience in Asia, for we were so utterly burning beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Is he referring to persecution and suffering Ephesus? We don't know. Is he referring to the thorn in the flesh here? We don't know. Was it some deadly illness? We don't know the nature, but we know the fact that he was at the brink of death. Other places, he said, I've suffered the loss of many things. His suffering didn't weaken his faith.A lot of people as soon as they begin to experience a modicum of suffering, there is no God, God doesn't love me. God is love. God is good. And God is all powerful. God doesn't love me. St. Paul suffered. Probably after Christ, He was number two in terms of suffering, and his suffering actually deepen his faith. Why? Because as he's in the depth of his pain, he knows he's with Christ. He knows that God is with him. He didn't turn his back on God and that suffering, because he understands if God allowed the suffering, then this is for my good and if this is for my good, then I can rejoice because God is with me.Verse 9, indeed, he says, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead. And this is why suffering is so important. This is why God allows suffering. Because suffering teaches us the greatest lesson that there is. That we are not to rely on ourselves. We are to rely on our God. And when you're in suffering, when you're in pain, and you know you can't save yourself from that moment, there's only one whom you can cry out to and that's God. And this is why St. Paul, he's focused on the number one, and in suffering, the number one is clears. He's in the depth of this well, and the deeper he goes, the brighter number one is the North Star above him and he cries out to God, a God who, present tense, raises the dead.It's a lesson that it takes a long time to learn to rely on God every single day. It takes a long time to learn and takes a second to forget. Because there's so many other things we can rely on. My question here towards the end is, upon whom or what do you rely? Is it money or treasures? Is it other people? Is it your accomplishments, your resume, your job, your boss, your real estate? What are you relying on? St. Paul says, I learned to rely on God. I learned to rely on Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ, He was in the same ... To participate in the sufferings of Christ is to remember Christ when He was in the depth of his suffering that began in Gethsemane, and he says, God, if there's any other way, if there's any other way, then he prays the most powerful prayer that anyone can pray, not my will, but yours be done.And then Jesus Christ goes to the cross. Yes he was flogged and yes he carried the cross, he experienced immense physical suffering, but the greatest suffering he experienced was the spiritual suffering, when he went through hell on the cross. God's wrath poured out on him. Jesus went through hell, so that you wouldn't have to. And St. Paul knows because Jesus Christ did that and because Jesus Christ died, because Jesus Christ rose from the dead, because Jesus Christ's gospel, his death, his burial, his resurrection, his ascension, that gospel when you trust in him, that that right there saves you and St. Paul was saved. He knows that Jesus Christ made all the difference. He completely powerfully alters the meaning and the purpose of our lives, therefore he imbues even the darkest, hardest moments of our lives with hope.St. Paul says, I suffered but I suffered for you. He suffered a lot. But he took his troubles lightly. He's like yes, I did this thing, yes, I was flogged five times, 40 lashes five times, I was shipwreck, I was stoned, yes, I did that thing. Because that stuff doesn't really matter. My life doesn't really matter. I did this because I see the great need for the greatest work and I see great fruit from the Gospel. He couldn't doubt that he led a wholly happy life after this, obviously, in heaven, but he didn't allow all those troubles to outweigh and lose sight of what's most important.He talks about the cycle of comfort, the cycle of comfort. I will suffer so that I can comfort others. I suffer, Jesus comforts me, I comfort those who suffer. And I'll conclude with this. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the handful of German theologians to stand up to the Nazification of the German church. And one of his prominent writings was the Barmen Declaration in which he rejected the infamous Aryan clauses imposed by Nazi theology. He tried to fight the Nazi ideology within the church in the German church, he couldn't, and then he went and start his own seminary, his own church. He founded an underground Seminary in Bavaria, which then was closed by the Gestapo Chief, Himmler himself. And after that, Bonhoeffer was like, you're not going to let me preach the gospel. I'm going to fight the Nazis. And he joined the resistance movement and he was imprisoned by the Gestapo in April 1943.Now he knows he's going to die. And he was engaged to Maria von Wedemeyer, and he knows he's going to die, and before he dies, he writes her a poem about ... she doesn't know he's going to die. He already knows how the story ends. And he wrote her a poem, and stanza three is the famous. The poem was called New Year 1945. And he says, this should it be ours to drain the cup of grieving, even to the dregs of pain. At that command, we will not falter thankfully receiving all that is given by the loving hand. He knows God allowed this suffering, is going to bear the weight of suffering, is going to drink it down until it dries. He wrote this poem, and it comforted his fiancée. Just as the war was ending, Bonhoeffer was hung in prison three months later.18 years later, across the Atlantic in America, another bride to be was grieving the death of her fiancé. Her fiancé died in a freak accident, but he was the son of the author of Joseph Bailey and his wife, Mary Lou. Joseph Bailey, he read this poem, his son's fiancée found it and she read it and then she sent it to Joseph Bailey, the author, and he read it and they found comfort both Joseph Bailey and his wife, Mary Lou. So Joseph Bailey, he is author, he wrote a book of poems, compiled a book of poems called Heaven, and then 12 years after this, so this is 30 years after Bonhoeffer's his death, Joe Bailey receives a letter from a pastor friend in Massachusetts, relating that he was just in a hospital in Boston and he was visiting a terminally ill woman, and he knew that she was at the brink of death. He gave her Joe Bailey's book of poetry called heaven to comfort her soul. And the pastor said that the dying woman had stayed up awake late the previous night, read it and told him the comfort that she had received, a few hours later she died.That woman, the pastor wrote, was Maria von Wedemeyer. Bonhoeffer's fiancée. So Bonhoeffer's words comforted his fiancée twice. And you see that the cycle, God's comfort circulates among his children. Sometimes it comes full circle as in this true story, from Bonhoeffer to Maria von Wedemeyer, in her grief, the Joseph Bailey Junior's grieving fiancée and to Joe and Mary Bailey, they write the book and then back to Bonhoeffer's fiancée to comfort her in her dying hours. The astounding cyclical nature of comfort, and it all starts with Jesus Christ. But let's thank him now.Lord Jesus, we thank you for enduring the greatest suffering that anyone endured, and we thank you that you did that in order to comfort us. To comfort our souls, to forgive us of our sins so that we can have eternal comfort. In the meantime, you send us the great comfort of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, you're with us and we thank you for that. And I pray Holy Spirit that even when we do enter dark times of persecution, that you give us a steel strength to keep proclaiming the gospel, to remain faithful to you. Even if we endure suffering, so what? We know that there's nothing more important than the work of the gospel. And make us a people who like St. Paul, are just focused on what's most important, with our words, with our thoughts, with our time, our talent and treasure. We pray this in Christ's name, amen.

The gospel is a mystery to many. Some men make it overly complex, but it doesn't need to be. The gospel message can be quite simple. Other men find no daily application from the gospel, but that's missing the point in a big way. In our show today, you'll hear a great discussion about the gospel, walking in the simplicity of the gospel, and how the gospel message changes our daily walk as Christian men.My guest for this episode is Joe Bailey. Joe is a follower of Jesus, he is married and the father of five kids. He has a BA in Theology from Life Seminary and is the leader of the Paladin Project. He also is a working musician and a two-time IBO World Champion in Recurve and Longbow. He has tons of wisdom and I'm grateful to be sharing this conversation with you. Questions Answered:What is, and what isn't, the gospel?How should the gospel change how we live our lives?How does a regular guy, with no theology degree, share the gospel?What does it mean that our power is in our story?Can I gain or lose God's love based on my own performance?What does it mean that the American church isn't yet spiritually well developed?Is there a neutral ground in a spiritual battle?Where has the gospel message been devalued for men?What is one small step for a man in a dark place to start walking out of that darkness?Do men today know how to suffer well?What's the difference between a cultural belief and a saving belief? Important Links:Connect with Joe on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joe.bailey.52206Find Joe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKENU_SK2dE56hrA-N8qkyg THE FELLOWSHIP BROTHERHOODAn exclusive community of like-minded Christian men, who meet each week to learn, laugh, hold each other accountable, and walk through life together.Join this exclusive brotherhood: https://significantman.com/the-fellowship/ THE BASECAMP EXPERIENCEFour days and three nights of life-changing and intense training for Christian men in the glorious mountains of Colorado.Apply for this Adventure: https://significantman.com/basecamp-is-for-me/ Join the free Significant Man RECHARGE men's FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/significantmanrechargeSubscribe to the Significant Man YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SignificantManConnect directly with Warren https://www.facebook.com/4warrenPurchase Warren's books https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Peterson/e/B0097BEK8G

So many people struggle with addictions with todays fast paced lifestyle. I have dealt with addictions often in my practise and find that it is something still very much misunderstood. For those people in a relationship with someone who has an addiction or if you are the person in the throws of one it can really scary to navigate and extremely taxing on our lives and relationships. What many people don't understand is that addiction really is an innocent attempt to find wholeness. In todays episode with guest Joseph Bailey who works in and has specialised in the field of addictions for many years we look at another way of relating to and understanding addiction in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
