My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we have a topic talk episode and today's topic is dogs and like dog ownership in different cultures, like how people think about their dogs and.00:01:10XochitlYeah, yeah.00:01:16JackTreat their dogs and so soap. So why don't you kick it off here for us? And UM, like, what is your generation people your age? How do they feel?00:01:26JackAbout their dogs.00:01:28XochitlOK, so I would say I kind of grew up in a culture where dogs are dogs and people are people.00:01:35XochitlAnd this is a very Mexican thing. And it's also a very.00:01:41XochitlReal staple of older American culture. My dad is a boomer, and in those days, you know it. Dog culture was similar to how it is in Mexico. You kind of let your dog roam free.00:01:54JackRight.00:01:56XochitlIn the streets, he like has his own pack of friends.00:01:59JackRight. And if there's if there's like an order, it's like the dog is the last. You know, there's no, there's no babying the dog and stuff. Like it's an animal.00:02:04XochitlYes.00:02:10XochitlAnd they also kind of hold.00:02:11XochitlTheir own independent life, like they go out kind of independently. That's still a thing in Mexico. And also it used to be a thing in, in the US and my dad was a kid in the 60s and.00:02:23JackHmm.00:02:24XochitlYep.00:02:25XochitlAnd and they they're very independent. They're not really babied. And they're kind of seen as like the lowest caste working member of a family because you have them for protection or sometimes you have farm dogs just or, you know, it's a companion animal. But most of the time it it has a job to do.00:02:46XochitlAnd it has a plate on the pecking order, as we say in the US, which is like the top dog is, you know, maybe the mom and dad of the household and the kids and then the dogs at the box.00:02:56XochitlAnd and I would say that was very, very true for the older generations. But now my younger generation, I've see, I've seen it as a global phenomenon in Korea and the US in Mexico, that people treat their dogs kind of like babies. I'm.00:03:12XochitlI'm a little guilty of.00:03:14XochitlThis when I first had Wendy, I swore I wouldn't be one of these people. I didn't even want to sleep in the same bed.00:03:19XochitlHis.00:03:20XochitlBut he's so cute. It was like hard so.00:03:24JackHe worked his way into the into the bedroom, up on the bed. Yeah.00:03:26XochitlHe worked his way up into his then. Yeah, because he got big enough to be able to jump onto the bed. And then after that, just kind of game over because I couldn't keep him off. I tried to keep him off and he was smarter than me and found out how to get through every obstacle course that I've placed for him. So that's how a.00:03:32JackOK.00:03:46XochitlLike 4 LB. Dog outsmarted me my whole.00:03:48JackYeah, I I feel.00:03:50JackLike Americans now, and maybe Canadians, too, are dogs are like their four legged children.00:03:59JackYou know there's.00:03:59XochitlYeah, and I.00:04:00XochitlThink it it it? Sorry, Jack didn't mean to cut you off. I was just going to think because a lot of people are having kids later or choosing not to have kids at all. And I think that really affects the way that we see.00:04:02JackNo, no, no. Go ahead. Go ahead.00:04:08JackYeah.00:04:13XochitlDogs and for me, I kind of people only say the older you get, the more sure you are that you're going to want kids and actually the opposite has happened. Now that I'm well into my 27 bear on this planet, I have started to become pretty sure that I don't want kids actually and.00:04:30JackHmm.00:04:33XochitlDue to that, Dwayne is basically my kid and.00:04:38XochitlHe plays the part of my child, you.00:04:41XochitlKnow I medical everything.00:04:41JackHe feels that the void or whatever, that maybe not not void, but like if you were, if you're thinking that you wanna take care of of a child, you're like, well, if I take care of this dog, it it it kind.00:04:54JackOf feels.00:04:55JackLike I'm taking care of something.00:04:56XochitlI I never.00:04:56XochitlHave the desire to take care of a child. In fact, I've really never had a desire to take care of a dog. But when they kind of fell into my life and and I, you know, decided to take him in, so then I became responsible for him. I've never had a desire to take care of a kid. So for me it's kind of more like.00:05:12XochitlLike.00:05:13XochitlIf I barely have the energy and financial resources to take care of this dog, not barely. But like it's somewhere in my mid range of possibilities, I'm definitely not having kids. Like, if I can, at least I can put Glenn in back or I can put him in a room. I can leave him at home alone. I can go party for a few hours.00:05:27JackSee.00:05:28JackOK.00:05:33XochitlYou can.00:05:35XochitlPut a kid if you did.00:05:35JackYou cannot leave a toddler at home alone and just with a bowl of food and water and be like alright, enjoy yourself, you know, take care of yourself.00:05:40XochitlYeah, hours.00:05:44XochitlActually, yeah. Or like if he gets really annoying, I give him the timeout by just. I put him in the bathroom and close the door and he just chills out in there and stops barking like crazy. If the kid is crying and screaming, he can't walk them in the bathroom. That's like a child abuse and but so.00:06:02JackYou can, but you may go to prison. You may end up locked in a room yourself.00:06:06XochitlYou care, but you shouldn't. And you? Yeah. You probably will rightfully go to jail. So, you know, it's kind of.00:06:13XochitlIt's like that. It's like this is the the most I'm willing to expend energy on taking care of something else. And he already limits my possibilities a little bit as far as travel and stuff.00:06:25XochitlWell, I just it's an extra step I have to think about and I can't even imagine with kids. It's like a whole other obligation, especially when they're little, you know.00:06:33JackHmm I I feel like in America the the.00:06:36발표자The.00:06:38JackIt's very strange. It's like the, UM, expectations for taking care of a dog really increased in the last like 30 or 40 years. It's like if you don't walk your dog every single day twice a day, you know, yeah, you're a criminal. You're just you're a rotten human being.00:06:47발표자Yeah, yeah.00:06:52XochitlThey're a criminal animal.00:06:58JackAnd not and it's. It's weird because like in in Korea that that doesn't.00:07:03JackThey don't have that feeling. I I feel like this is a very kind of American thing, cause I'm I'm assuming Mexico. You're not gonna get judged too badly if you're if you're not like, let's say you skip a day to take your dog for a walk or you.00:07:16JackTake your dog for a walk. Couple times.00:07:17XochitlI don't even walk blending here because it's kind of dangerous because there's a lot of big dogs, but a lot of people let just open up the gate and let their dog out into the street to rob kind of freak.00:07:26JackThat's crazy, because that means they're gonna. They could bite somebody or hit by a car.00:07:28발표자Yeah.00:07:30XochitlYeah. And some people go to recipe. These dogs are really friendly and at that point it's OK, but some are pretty aggressive and but it's kind of part of the culture. People just let their dogs out for a few hours. The dog comes.00:07:41XochitlBack and they have like their own intention life.00:07:43발표자If it comes.00:07:44JackBack. It's mine. If it doesn't come back, I guess it wasn't meant to be.00:07:48JackYou know, yeah.00:07:48XochitlGo on to the streets or someone else picked it up any already got hit by a car and died. Sad but true. So it's.00:07:55JackYeah.00:07:58JackThey're animals living in, in, in, in Mexican culture and Korean culture. They are animals and and and that that's the thing that I came to realize when we had a dog and then.00:08:08JackWe had a kid.00:08:09JackAnd I was like ohh this is just a dog. Like this is not even you know close to the value of a human being like a human life. And I feel like that line is that that distance is a little bit shorter in American culture. It's like, no.00:08:29JackIt's still, it's still your child. You need to take care of it, even though it's a dog. And I'm like, I just. I can't get there. You know? I'm like, no, it's.00:08:35Xochitl1 * 3.00:08:38XochitlSorry, my dogs running out here. People sometimes treat.00:08:44XochitlDogs better than they treat human children in the US, and sometimes they have like more privileges than the US and people like like them more than human children. And that is crazy. Another thing I think is that's really different. And I don't know if it's the same way in Mexico and Korea. I mean, in Mexico, it's still fairly like.00:08:47JackYes.00:09:04XochitlOK. For I wouldn't say it's OK, but I would say it's still commonplace for especially the older generations to hit their dogs. Nothing crazy like people aren't beating.00:09:15JackLike smack it on the snout, it was a.00:09:16XochitlTheir dogs up.00:09:17XochitlYeah, yeah, yeah. You know, or snacking on his **** with the newspaper if it pees in the house and in the US, like, you've been yelling at your dog is like you're an abuser.00:09:17JackNewspaper or whatever, yeah.00:09:25발표자Like you.00:09:26JackI know.00:09:27XochitlYeah, and.00:09:29JackAnd here's the thing. It's like, OK, like animal abuse is wrong. It's it's it's not good. I I'm. I'm totally against animal abuse, obviously, but abusing a a human child is worse than abusing an animal. Like I'm gonna. I'm gonna level. I'm gonna put those on different levels, you know? And it's like, I feel like it's getting all blurred.00:09:29XochitlYeah, go ahead.00:09:47XochitlRight.00:09:49JackTogether in American culture, it's like it's to the point where almost people care about animals more than they care about human beings. There's like, yeah, you know, a whole orphanage of of kids that, like, don't have.00:10:00JackEmily's and yet everyone's like, you know, you gotta rehome this dog, you gotta, you gotta.00:10:06JackAdopt this dog.00:10:06XochitlPeople say the criminals are rehoming a dog in the US Now. It's like if you if you don't have, let's say you adopted a dog and then you realize it was more obligation than you had or or something came upon you and you no longer have the financial resources or the physical capacity to really care for your dog the same way or something happen, whatever.00:10:26XochitlAnd you have to rehome it and you're trying to rehome it responsibly. People will eat you alive.00:10:31JackWow.00:10:31XochitlUhm, I had a friend. Who?00:10:33XochitlTo her baby, her dog bit her baby.00:10:38JackYeah, that's it. I'm done.00:10:40XochitlYeah. And she she's like I I'm going to rehome him because I can't. And I understand completely where she's coming from because you just don't feel safe with your baby and your dog in the same home anymore. Even if you try to keep them separate or whatever. It was kind of what she'd been trying to do up to that point. And it's just so hard living in the same home in a smaller space.00:10:59XochitlAnd UM.00:11:01XochitlShe was getting.00:11:02XochitlEaten alive for lying to rehome the dog, even though the dog bit her baby.00:11:06JackThat's crazy to me, because a dog bites my baby that that dog will find a new home on the moon when I.00:11:17JackLike kick it.00:11:20JackAll the way up there. No, I'm. I'm joking, of course. But I mean.00:11:25XochitlIt would be hard to.00:11:25JackI don't know. I just.00:11:27XochitlTemper about it, it would.00:11:28JackIt would be so it would make me so angry. And it's it's my fault. I didn't train the dog properly or I left the dog alone.00:11:37JackI mean, I mean, I do think that we blame dogs for for bad owners, you know, for being bad owners. But at a certain point, it's kind of like, well, yeah, maybe I didn't train this dog properly, but this dog is bit my kid. I'm done like this dog is out of here because.00:11:51발표자Hmm.00:11:56XochitlYeah, and they can be kind of unpredictable like she adopted that dog. She was the second home and he I was actually, she was my roommate when she first adopted the dog, and he was a menace. Like when he came from the first home, he would just, like, attack randomly. He had serious issues.00:12:14XochitlAnd aggression. And she worked with him and trained him really well over a number of years. But when she had her baby, he kind of regressed, which is can be normal because they get jealous and.00:12:25JackStuff, but he's like he's now. He's different on a different pecking order, you know. Down. Yeah.00:12:30XochitlYeah.00:12:31XochitlAnd he bit her and bit her baby. And that was it for him. Well, she rehomed him, but she got rid of that and I think that's absolutely insane.00:12:34JackWolf.00:12:37JackYeah.00:12:43XochitlI just can't fathom that.00:12:44JackNo, they're, you know, ultimately at the end of the day, they're animals to. To me, it's like, I love my dog. My dog is very sweet, but it's an animal, and it's not a it's not a human. So I'm I'm OK with that. You know, if my daughter needed, you know, a $5000.00:13:03JackLife saving surgery without even batting an eye. I'm getting. I'm paying for that surgery. You know what I mean? Like, whatever it.00:13:12JackTakes, but if my dog needs a $5000 surgery, my wife and I are having a conversation. You know, it's like you've had a good life and you know, like, let's, you know, maybe it's it's, you know, nature takes its course, you know, cuz I think people will spend a lot of money to just keep their.00:13:20XochitlIt's like what?00:13:27XochitlMaybe it's time to go.00:13:33JackDogs limping along.00:13:35JackAnd I'm like, you know, it's a it's a dog. It's an animal, so.00:13:39XochitlAnd their quality of life really decreases and it's different than for a human because they don't have like that capacity to rationalize and find new ways to enjoy the quality of life either. So it really affects them negatively too. But a lot of people just keep them.00:13:50JackReddit.00:13:56XochitlTrotting along for the sake of it.00:14:00JackYeah, I don't know. I hope I don't get a lot of hate mail from this this episode.00:14:01XochitlAlright.00:14:04XochitlI don't. We will. I I I don't think we will cause I think the US culture is really unique about it, about how we think about like dogs and you know animal abuse and.00:14:16XochitlThe culture around dogs is just completely different than it is like anywhere else in the world. And again, my generation is getting more.00:14:25XochitlWe're becoming more kind of like dog and cat parents because we don't have children.00:14:31JackYeah, that's an interesting insight. I think you're right about that. I think you, I think you.00:14:31XochitlAnd most of the.00:14:36JackNailed it, yeah.00:14:37XochitlYeah. It's like most of us don't want to have children. I blend is pretty much the the He's the my maximum capacity for what I can take care of and I didn't. I didn't set out to take care of him. It was like he kind of fell on my doorstep and at that point, you know, I'm still going to do everything I can. I I cover his medical expenses, his travel expenses and everything but.00:14:57XochitlWhen I see him running around barking in a circle and grabbing shoes and chewing on them and stuff, I'm like.00:15:04XochitlCan you imagine having a kid do this for like 6 years or eight years? And essentially I know they don't chew on shoes.00:15:10JackWelcome to my but.00:15:13JackNow my kid's 15, so I'm done. I'm through. You know, the gauntlet. But you know, yeah, it was.00:15:18XochitlYeah. And that's the thing though. It's like your dog is like in your home with you all the time. And when it passes, it passes. And with a kid, like, they're gonna outlive you, and you're going to worry about that kid for the rest of your natural life until you die. And that's something I don't think I'm ever going to be prepared for because.00:15:20JackIt was tough.00:15:33JackYeah.00:15:38XochitlI don't want to sound like a pessimist. The world can be such a a horrible place.00:15:43XochitlAnd.00:15:44XochitlAnd I'm so scared to have kids and them to go out into the world and potentially suffer, especially women, all the horrible things that can happen and and are not exempt, you know, but.00:15:55JackYeah. No, I don't. I don't blame you. Yeah. No, these are these are things that keep me up at night, you know?00:16:00JackSo just the parent.00:16:01XochitlYes. Yeah. You have a daughter, not, you know, not trying to scare you.00:16:04XochitlAnything but.00:16:04JackNo, no, no. I've you. You couldn't scare me more. I've I again. You know, I my my a lot of the real estate in my brain is dedicated just to worrying about my daughter.00:16:06발표자But.00:16:08XochitlYeah, you're right.00:16:16JackSo and very little is is worrying about my dog, so.00:16:22XochitlYeah, it shows the difference. Alright, listeners, we'll let us know what is the culture around dogs in your home country. I'm very interested to hear. And also for your generation, does your generation or does your country treat dogs differently based on which?00:16:37XochitlGeneration the person or the owner might be because for me I do notice a difference in in between probably people, millennials and Gen. ZI would say, which are our generations like 35 and under. I would say in the US people mostly like in their 20s to very early 30s.00:16:58XochitlIt's kind of a different.00:17:01XochitlBreed of.00:17:03XochitlLine of thinking. Cultural thinking. So yeah, I'm curious. Let us know in a comment down below at A-Z englishpodcast.com shoot us an e-mail at AZ English podcast at Gmail.00:17:13XochitlCom or join the conversation? Or we chat. What's up groups and we'll see you guys next time.

In this week's episode, I take a look at different models of ereader devices and try to determine which is the best one. I also reflect on the experience of watching the Super Bowl for the first time in several years. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of GHOST IN THE RAZOR as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of GHOST IN THE RAZOR for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERRAZOR The coupon code is valid through March 1st, 2024, so if you find yourself needing an audiobook to break up the winter doldrums, we've got one ready for you! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 188 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February the 16th 2024 as I record this, and today we are looking at the best ereader devices. I also talk a little bit about what it was like to watch the Super Bowl for the first time in like 20 years. Just a little word of warning, there is some fairly substantial construction noise going on the street outside that may intrude in the background. Additionally, yesterday the computer I use for recording for received a Windows Update that messed it up rather severely, and the processor is constantly maxing out, which means it makes a loud fan noise. So if you hear hissing noise in the background, that is what is happening. I just haven't had time to fix it yet, so between the construction noise and that hissing noise, we are going to have an adventuresome podcast today. Before we get to our main topics, let us do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon is going to be for the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor, as excellently narrated by narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERRAZOR. That is WINTERRAZOR and that will be included in the show notes. That coupon code will be valid until March 1st, 2024. So if you find yourself needing an audiobook to break up the winter doldrums, we've got one ready for you. Now let's have some updates on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling, the second book in my LitRPG series, is now out and you can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. After a year's worth of sales data from the first book, I have concluded that LitRPG really does seem to perform best in Kindle Unlimited and audio so that is where it's going to go. It's currently in Kindle Unlimited and hopefully we should have audio in a few months, but we'll see how that works out and remind you that it's at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. I'm not sure how long the series is going to be. I am leaning towards making it a trilogy and wrapping it up with the next book, but we will see how Leveling performs for the first 30 days it's out in the marketplace and maybe it would merit becoming a longer series, but if it sells at the level I expected it to, I think it will probably be trilogy. My next big project will be Ghost in the Veils, the second book in the Ghost Armor series with Caina, and I am 8,000 words into that, putting me on Chapter 2 and hopefully that will come out towards the end of March. It does need to come out before April because that's when I have a recording slot scheduled for it, so it does need to come out by then, so it's going to come out by then. I'm also about 26,000 words into Wizard Thief, the second book in the Half-Elven Thief series, and hopefully that will come out fairly quickly after Ghost in the Veils comes out. I am also writing the outline for Cloak of Titans, which would be the eleventh Cloak Mage book, and that will be my main project after Ghost in the Veils and Wizard Thief are out. In audiobook news, recording is underway for Shield of Storms, and hopefully that should be out in March sometime, but we will see how things go. 00:03:17 Reader Comment Before we get to our main topics, let's have a comment from a reader. James says: having just finished the Dragonskull series while waiting for Cloak of Titans, I thought how great it would be if there's a short story about Gareth's return home with Niara would be. His mother's reaction would be precious. Just starting on the Sevenfold Sword series. I love all your books and you have totally taken over my Kindle. Thanks, James. I am glad you have enjoyed all those books. In answer to your question, that is a fairly major part of the plot in Shield of Storms, where Gareth and companions return home. Just the difference is in the Shield War series, Gareth and his friends aren't the main characters. They're supporting characters and Ridmark is one of the main characters.   00:03:57 Thoughts on the 2024 Super Bowl Now let's talk about something a bit uncharacteristic: The Super Bowl. I did something I haven't done since the early 2000s, and I watched the entirety of The Super Bowl last week. The reason I did that was that some family members wanted to watch it, and I had no objection. So I watched The Super Bowl. Though to be fair, when I say watched, what I really mean is I had it on in the background while playing Icewind Dale on my iPad for the most part, along with some Skyrim on my Switch. I admit that when I was younger and more insufferable, I would make a point of refusing to watch The Super Bowl. Then I realized such an approach was self-defeating. Professional football is no better or worse than any other form of recreation. Additionally, connecting with people socially is not among my strengths, and very often sports discussions are the low hanging fruit of easy social engagement. That said, I don't exactly pay close attention to professional sports, so here is what I found interesting about The Super Bowl as an outsider, so to speak. I think an observer completely unfamiliar with American culture and professional sports, upon watching The Super Bowl, would conclude it was a 3 1/2 hour block of commercials infrequently broken up by two-minute clips of football. That said, the Christopher Walken commercial was the funniest one and also the one with Dunkin' Donuts. The NFL may not be a cartel in the strict legal definition of the term, but we all know it's totally a cartel, which is a pretty sweet position to be in because you have massive corporations like Apple and Verizon shelling out big bucks. So it's the Apple Music Halftime Show or the Verizon Pregame Show or whatever. I do think from an objective viewpoint that it is rather surprising that football became the predominant sporting event in America. And I think the reason has to do with the football commissioners rather foresightedly seeing the potential of broadcast television in the 1950s and the 1960s. American football, if you look at it from the outside, is this really weird mutant form of rugby with a lot of arcane terminology and non-intuitive rules, and compared to soccer or basketball, it's just a very slow and plodding game. There's 15 seconds of action and then everyone stands around for two or three minutes. It's time for a commercial break, brought to you by Verizon. Soccer and basketball are much faster paced If American football is the imperial system, then European football/soccer is the metric system that everybody else in the world uses. I suspect to really appreciate American football, you have to get into it as a child and grow up with it so all the weird rules become second nature, which is probably why the NFL embraced Taylor Swift so much this year, which did annoy some long-term NFL fans who are not fans of Swift's music. I don't really have an opinion on Taylor Swift one way or another, since I mostly listen to computer game soundtracks, that is my preferred musical genre. But like I said above, I think to really appreciate American football you have to grow up with it. Football doesn't quite have the cultural hegemony it had in the ‘80s and the ‘90s. It's still massively popular, but more and more parents are keeping their kids away from playing it because of the danger of long-term head injuries or because of all the many sketchy things the NFL has done over the years. Though, to be fair, it's not like FIFA is a paragon of business ethics either, so you have more young people who don't grow up with it and therefore can't be bothered to pay attention. But Swift is popular with the young people, and the NFL desperately wants more of the young people watching the games. I don't think the Super Bowl or the NFL season is scripted in advance, but I can definitely see how people come to that conclusion, partly because the NFL's broadcasts are so slick and media savvy that they feel like they should be scripted. I think it's mostly because the human brain has this tendency to see systems and order where there is in fact, nothing more than chaos. Though this year's Super Bowl game was so dramatic, with the Chiefs squeaking out a win in overtime, that it feels like it should have been written in advance. Finally, are football and professional sports the modern “bread and circuses” like they had in the Roman Empire? Maybe. But if they are, is that necessarily even a bad thing? If you look at history, every large civilization has had games and public spectacles as part of the maintenance of social and public order. Some aspect of human psychology really seems to require it. There's lots to criticize about the NFL, but it's certainly better than a lot of the stuff the Romans got up to or early medieval tournaments, which were mock battles that sometimes escalated into actual battles that turned into actual local wars. Perhaps modern professional sports or a more efficient and usually more bloodless method of public spectacle. So I don't really have any grand conclusions here, just observations from an outsider's perspective made while watching the Super Bowl and mostly playing Icewind Dale on my iPad, though I am pleased to report that in Icewind Dale during The Super Bowl I defeated an ogre with a bunch of Level 1 characters and my thief and my cleric both leveled up during the game. When I talked about this on my Facebook page, my readers had some good comments, so I thought I'd read a few of the few of few of them here.   00:09:11 Reader Comments on the 2024 Super Bowl Our first comments from William, who writing from the perspective of someone in the UK, says: I've seen the Super Bowl described as one of the great shared cultural experiences of the US and one of those times you can enjoy American football even if you're not really into the sport otherwise. It's one of those times you get together with family acquaintances you have few, if any common interests with. I think that's true and that's some good insight there. An opposing comment comes from reader named Mary, who says: I grew up breathing NFL. My sons played football through high school. As an adult, I watched consistently until I moved to an area without many services. Went four years without TV. Ordered a new streaming device and service. I hoped to bring some of those great memories forward. My goodness, what a disappointment. The commercials are heavily pharma-based or bad food. Gambling is another frequent advertisement. You're correct, the advertising is the point. I spend most of my free time reading, a much more immersive experience. Cancelled my service today with relief. So we can also see that the emphasis on ads during The Super Bowl and I think during regular football games as well, really does turn off some viewers. I definitely approve of reading as someone's main form of recreation, though I admit that might be a bit of self-interest on my part. 00:10:24 Main Topic: Best ereaders for 2024 in the US Now let's continue on to our main topic: the best ereaders available for 2024 in the US market. A couple of notes before we start. This is not sponsored. There are no affiliate links here. I'm not getting paid for anything I say here and these are just my opinions and research we are talking about on the show today. Because technology changes so quickly, I want to emphasize that this is current information or current information to the best of my ability as of February 2024, and since I'm based in the US, this mostly applies to the US market. It's definitely a good idea to do your own research when you're buying an electronic device, especially regarding specs, and especially if you have very specialized needs. The information was pulled together with a lot of help from my podcast transcriptionist by combing through user reviews and looking at testing from popular magazines such as Consumer Reports, Wired, PC Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and similar magazines. So I suppose we should start with the obvious question. Why have a dedicated ereader when you can easily read ebooks on your phone or tablet? An ereader does have several advantages that you don't get with a phone or a tablet. For one thing, it's lighter. It's easier to use with one hand, which, depending on the size of your tablet or phone, may be impossible. It also helps with eye strain if you're using a dedicated grayscale ereader. It doesn't have a backlight or it has a much weaker backlight than a tablet or phone will have, and therefore it is generally easier on the eyes, though that can vary from person to person. And it can also help you to focus on reading and minimize distractions, because if you're reading on a tablet or a phone, you might get a lot of notifications coming in from text messages or emails or social media and all that, all of which can pull you out of the book you are trying to read. So if you are a serious reader and you don't mind reading ebooks, it can be definitely worth your while to have a dedicated ereader. So let's look at the most popular model of ereader, which of course in the US and several other countries is the Amazon Kindle. In general, Kindles are superbly integrated with the Amazon ecosystem, but they generally don't work well with non-Amazon or non-Kindle products. I've run into that a few times myself on my Payhip store (which hopefully you will visit soon to get your discounted copy of the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor). I often have to include several different kinds of file formats to work with whatever generation of Kindle people might be using. Additionally, if you use your local library's ebook service and they use Libby, not all Libby books are available for Kindles. A couple of times I've run into that, where I want to check out an ebook from Libby and it turns out that it's not available for Kindle, which is kind of disappointing because then you have to read it on your phone, which defeats the purpose of this episode. For specific Kindle models, the Kindle Oasis seems to be the high end one, and because it has the strongest backlight, it is considered generally best for reading at night. The Kindle Paperwhite seems to be overall the best reviewed and most popular model. It is lightweight. It weighs less than half a pound and it is waterproof. It has strong reviews from many review publications like Wired and Good Housekeeping and has a major fan following. Finally, the perhaps most esoteric Kindle ereader would be the Kindle Scribe. It's the biggest one, designed for note taking. So that's something that interests you that might be worth investigating, though it would be harder to hold the Kindle Scribe with one hand. After the Kindles, probably the most popular model of ereader in the US is the Kobo family. I'm a big fan of Kobo. Most of my books are available on Kobo, and most of them are also in Kobo Plus, their subscription program. In general, Kobos are best for people who do a lot of side loading, which involves taking ebook files and loading them manually onto your device and people who want a lot of customization. The one weakness of Kobo is that we're not entirely sure how well it will work with the various library services. The OverDrive app is being retired in favor of Libby and Kobo relies heavily on OverDrive because Kobo's parent company, Rakuten, used to own OverDrive for a while until they sold it off. So with OverDrive going away in favor of Libby, it's sort of an open question how well Kobos will integrate with library services in the future. Additionally, it's important to note that audiobooks and magazines from Libby are not presently available for Kobo devices. Hopefully that will change in the future, but that is the case right now. For specific models of the Kobo, Eclipsa is considered the best for people who like to take notes and annotate the actual pages, and it has the feature where you can convert handwriting to type text and then export those notes to Dropbox. The Kobo Clara model is the budget option that still has waterproofing, which is different from the Kindle base model, which doesn't. The Paperwhite does. I don't think the Oasis has waterproofing, but the Kindle Paperwhite does. If you are one of those people who likes to read in the bath and you drop your ereader, hopefully it will survive the immersion till you get it out of the water. Clara does have that waterproofing feature. The most popular model seems to be the Kobo Libra and it's best for those who are not locked into the Amazon ecosystem or another specific vendor. It has a very loyal cult following. It has physical page turn buttons, for those who prefer that feature, and it is highly regarded for its screen clarity. It also has very good battery life, which again is one of those strengths of ereaders over phones and tablets, which tend to be charging every other day, especially because the Libra settings allow you to easily shut off the Wi-Fi, dial back the lighting, and so forth to extend the battery life. So Kindle and Kobo are the big ones, but there's a couple others we should address. One of them is the Nook Glowlight, which is the current ereader available from Barnes and Noble. The tricky part with Barnes and Noble is that while they do have ebooks, it is not really a priority for the the company's current management, which has chosen to focus primarily on physical bookselling and which has apparently kept Barnes and Noble from going bankrupt. So good thing. But they're not hugely as interested in ebooks as they used to be. The Glowlight is best for those who have a lot of Barnes and Noble gift cards to use, since that's a popular present or who already have a lot of ebooks from Barnes and Noble. Unfortunately, it does not integrate very well with public library software like Libby. It can be done, but it is a lot of work and not nearly as easy as it is with the Kindle or the Kobos. And there are complaints of system problems like it's difficult to set up or prone to freezing. Another popular but niche ebook reader is the Onyx Boox Tab, which is a tablet with a color E ink display and the picture quality resembles color newspapers (for those of you who are old enough to remember when newspapers had color pictures). It has a loyal cult following, especially with comics and manga readers, and it has good note taking features. However, the big weakness is it is expensive and costs around $600.00 USD. Now, while we've mostly focused on dedicated ereaders, the truth is that tablets can in fact be very good ereaders if you know what you want and you know what you want to use them for. The advantages tablets have over ereaders is that they are more versatile than ereaders. And if, like nearly all of us, you are on a budget and limited what you can spend, which, let's be honest, is true of everybody, it may make more sense to buy a device that can do many things instead of an ereader which can do just one thing. Tablets are also good for those who aren't committed to a single source for their ebooks. You can easily download apps for all of the main ebook stores on an iPad. You can have the Kindle app, the Barnes and Noble app, the Kobo app, and a bunch of library services such as Libby and Hoopla, and you can enjoy them all on one device. Tablets are also good for those who enjoy reading manga or magazines often because if you have a color display, you can see the illustrations that come in a magazine or an ebook that has a lot of color illustrations, like a technical manual or a history book that has a lot of color plates, and the larger screens minimize the need for constantly zooming text. This is something I have done myself. I have a Kindle Fire HD-10 and I also have a bunch of various PDFs I bought from the Pathfinder company from a Humble Bundle and it's a lot easier to read PDFs in color on a Kindle Fire than it is on a dedicated ereader because you can move around the page easily. The screen is big enough you can see most of the text. You can see all the illustrations in color. It's really nice. So let's take a look at the specific families of tablets and nowadays, for all practical purposes, there are three major tablet families. The first and the most successful one is the iPad. Everyone knows what the iPad is. It's the best device for those who want to use it for web browsing, media use, and ebook reading. The iPad Pro models are rather overpowered for normal reading and web browsing and media use. They're also quite a bit more expensive. The base model iPad is the cheapest it's ever been. I think as of right now, as of this recording you get a base model iPad for about $329, which while a lot of money, is still significantly cheaper than has been in the past. And it also is a very capable device that can do everything we've listed above. The second major family is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is generally well regarded and is the iPad's chief competitor, and it gets high reports for reliability and performance from all the reviews. You get access to the full Google Play Store so you can install a bunch of apps and you can get all the different ereader apps and all the different library apps on Samsung Galaxy Tab. The third major tablet family is Amazon Fire tablet line. I have one and I'm quite happy with it. It's better for those who play games or watch videos heavily, since it's very strongly tied into Amazon's media ecosystem. So it does make a pretty good portable video player if you are tied into Amazon's Prime Video ecosystem. It's not as convenient for sideloaders, and the biggest weakness of the Amazon Fire is that you only have access to Amazon's curated App Store. You don't have access to the full Google Play ecosystem, which is a lot bigger and more vibrant than Amazon's App Store. Very often you will find popular Android and iOS apps that are available for regular Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy or for the iPad are just not available on the Amazon Fire. So I'd say overall that's it's biggest weakness. It is possible to install the Google Play Store on the Amazon Fire, though, it does take a bit of finagling, and given the rumors that that Amazon is planning to develop its own operating system for its Fire tablets, that option may go away in the future. So that is something to bear in mind. And I thought it would be interesting to wrap up the show by sharing what I personally use for ereading and what my podcast transcriptionist personally uses for ereading, since she did most of the research for this episode and helped me pull it all together. The transcriptionist's favorites that she likes are the Kindle Paperwhite for outdoor reading. It's easier than eyes on the eyes than the tablet screen. She prefers the iPad for magazines and books with lots of color photographs, like cookbooks. For myself, I do most of my reading on a Kindle Oasis that I bought before COVID broke out in 2020, which, given the amount of reading I did during COVID, turned out to be a really good investment. After four and a half years, it's still going pretty strong and I'm hoping to keep on using it for several years to come. For a tablet, I have an iPad that I use pretty regularly. I do some reading on it when I have some with a lot of photographs, though for most color reading I have a Kindle Fire 10 that I got for editing because in my final stage of editing my books, I use it to read the book aloud to catch anything weird and hopefully fix any lingering problems, but it's also really great for viewing full color PDF files because you can load the PDFs on the Kindle Fire and then they show up in your library. It's very easy and convenient and smooth to read them on the Kindle Fire HD-10. So that is what I personally use for ereading. So that's it for this week.

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Links to an additional 3 articles are included below. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now the first two articles are from Canada, but they detail opportunities relevant to a global audience. The first article is titled How Green Energy Players Are Making Big Waves in the Stock Market, by Christopher Liew, on fool.ca. Here's some of what Mr. Liew has to say about his three picks. “1. Ballard Power Systems (TSX:BLDP) Market analysts recommend a hold rating. Their 12-month average price target is $22.91, or a 293% return potential. Ballard's competitive advantages include experience in manufacturing fuel cell products (40 years), top-tier long-term customers, and strategic shareholders… The latest product and potential growth driver is next-generation, thin, flexible graphite bipolar plates. Ballard plans to invest around $18 million in manufacturing the plates this year through 2025. 2. Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX:NANO) Nano One outperforms the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) year to date (+18.85% versus +1.11%). Market analysts recommend a buy rating, with an average price target of $6.50 (+124%) in 12 months. This $302 million company's contribution to the fight against climate change is the production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials. According to management, the company's technology applies to electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Besides reducing costs, the low-carbon intensity improves environmental impact. Nano One owns Canada's only LFP (lithium ferrous phosphate) battery production facility. 3. Exro Technologies (OTC:EXRO.F) Exro Technologies develops new-generation power electronics that expand the capabilities of electric motors and batteries… The significant upside will come from continued focus on innovation in e-transition and energy storage market verticals. The addressable markets for its lead products, Coil Driver (motor controllers) and Cell Driver (energy storage), should reach US$133 billion and US$224 billion by 2030, respectively… Market analysts recommend a strong buy rating, forecasting 55% price appreciation in one year.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now, the second article is titled 2 Canadian ESG Stocks for Ethical Investors, by Adam Othman on fool.ca. Among Mr. Othman's comments on his two picks are these. “1. Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) might not seem like an ESG stock… However, this Canadian Dividend Aristocrat can be an excellent investment for this purpose. The $105.92 billion market capitalization company headquartered in Montreal is vital to the North American economy. Boasting the only 18,600-mile railway network connecting three coasts in North America… It generates solid financial results. In 2022, it increased its revenue by 18.2% and net income by 4.5%, increasing its free cash flow by 29.2% compared to the previous year…. Sustainalytics gives Canadian National Railway stock a low ESG risk rating due to its Climate Action Plan aligning with international ESG standards. 2. Innergex Renewable Energy (TSX:INE) The $2.73 billion market capitalization company develops, owns, and operates run-of-river hydroelectric facilities. It also has a substantial number of wind and solar energy farms located in North and South America and France. …Operating as an electricity utility company, it has a low-risk business model. 2022 saw Innergex reduce its net loss from $185.4 million in 2021 to $91.1 million. Its free cash flows rose by almost 60% year over year… As of this writing, Innergex Renewable stock trades for $13.39 per share, down by 34.55% from its 52-week high. Currently, it pays its shareholders their payouts at a juicy 5.38% dividend yield.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Great Green Energy Stock Picks And now to a company that's often overlooked according to this Zacks analyst. The article is titled Why This Under-the-Radar Renewable Energy Stock is a 'Strong Buy'. It's by Benjamin Rains and found on zacks.com. Here's some of what Mr. Rains says about Arcosa, Inc. “Arcosa, Inc. (ACA - Free Report) provides infrastructure-related products and solutions across construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets. Arcosa is benefitting from megatrends such as aging infrastructure, as well as the ‘continued shift to renewable power generation, and the expansion of new transmission, distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure…' Arcosa crushed Zacks Q1 earnings estimate in late April and provided hugely upbeat guidance. Arcosa's fiscal 2023 consensus estimate has surged by 44% since its report, with FY24's figure 38% higher. Arcosa's bottom-line positivity helps it grab a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)… Arcosa's engineered structures division includes utility structures, telecom structures, wind towers, and beyond. Arcosa's wind tower business is booming… since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act… The gusts at Arcosa's back include grid-hardening, electrification of vehicles, connecting renewable energy to the grid, the wireless 5G telecom buildout, and more… Other Fundamentals Zacks estimates call for Arcosa's adjusted 2023 earnings to surge by 27% and then jump another 18% higher in 2024 to reach $3.26 per share… Overall, Arcosa appears to be a somewhat under-the-radar and strong way to gain exposure to multiple long-term trends in the U.S. and global economy. And its recent slip sets up a better entry point.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Next is this article, also applicable to a global audience. It's titled 5 Top UK Sustainable Investment Trusts To Consider In H2 2023. It's by Gaurav Sharma and seen on forbes.com. Here are some quotes. “Typically listed on UK and Japanese markets, investment trusts are public-listed pooled investment vehicles that generate income by investing in stocks of other companies, bonds (both corporate and government issued), real estate, infrastructure and privately held enterprises, etc.… Based on current dividend yields*, NAV discounts** and exchange rates***, for me the following five UK-listed sustainable investment trusts stand out: 1. Triple Point Energy Transition Plc (LON: TENT) Dividend Yield: 8.27% Listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, Triple Point Energy Transition Plc invests in UK and European renewable energy projects touting its credentials as a stable dividend-paying trust that aims to enable a pan-European transition to a low carbon economy. Furthermore, its 7-8% average dividend yield not only ranks it among the highest in its category but also puts it on the list of the 20-highest dividend-yields among all UK-listed investment trusts. 2. NextEnergy Solar Fund (LON: NESF) Dividend Yield: 7.52% NextEnergy Solar Fund is listed on the London Stock Exchange's main market and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. As the name suggests, it invests in a diversified portfolio of solar energy and energy storage infrastructure assets. Most of its long-term cashflows are inflation-linked via UK government subsidies, and it offers an attractive dividend yield. 3. Renewables Infrastructure Group (LON: TRIG) Dividend Yield: 5.97% Renewables Infrastructure Group has been listed on the London Stock Exchange for over a decade and is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. The company focuses on onshore and offshore wind farms and solar parks in the UK and Europe. 4. Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust (LON: ORIT) Dividend Yield: 5.52% With its management trail leading to one of Europe's largest renewable energy investors – Octopus Energy – the Octopus Renewable Energy Infrastructure Trust aims to provide both capital appreciation as well as sustainable dividends by building and operating a diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets in Europe and Australia. 5. Greencoat UK Wind Plc (LON: UKW) Dividend Yield: 5.51% Greencoat UK Wind has the honor of being the first UK renewable infrastructure fund to list on the London Stock Exchange. It is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index and is focused on UK wind power generation.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US Now, the US economy is currently being lifted by two massive spending bills related to infrastructure. Many ethical and sustainable investors see infrastructure companies as having a place in their portfolios. So, this article might be of interest to many of you. It's titled 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US. It's by Ty Haqqi and is seen on finance.yahoo.com. Only the public companies and non-fossil-fuel related are included here... and quotes about these companies are limited. “14. Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE:CCI) Total revenue (in billions): $58.1 Crown Castle provides shared communications infrastructure in the U.S. including small cells, cell towers and fiber, and counts itself among the largest U.S. infrastructure companies. 13. Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) Total revenue (in billions): $13.8 Fluor Corporation is one of the biggest engineering companies in Texas… The share price of Fluor Corporation has stayed the same over the last one year with its gains being wiped out over the last few months. 12. Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) Total revenue (in billions): $12.7 Norfolk Southern Corporation is one the biggest railroad companies in the U.S., not to mention among the largest infrastructure companies in the U.S. Norfolk Southern Corporation has been in the news the past few months for a massive derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which resulted in the release of tons of toxic chemicals, and has recently been sued by the Department of Justice for the same. 11. American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) Total revenue (in billions): $10.7 American Tower Corporation owns and operates wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure not just in the U.S. but in several other countries as well. 6. CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) Total revenue (in billions): $14.9 CSX Corporation is engaged in the business of real estate and rail transportation, and is headquartered in Florida. CSX Corporation's ROE has exceeded the industry average in the past though part of that is because of the company's high debt portfolio. 3. Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) Total revenue (in billions): $24.9 Union Pacific Corporation is the largest railroad company in the country, and one of the largest infrastructure companies in the U.S., and has provided a return of 61% to its investors in the last 5 years. 2. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) Total revenue (in billions): $120.7 AT&T Inc. is one of the biggest telecom and mobile telephone services company not just in the U.S., but also the world. Recently, AT&T Inc. raised over $4.2 billion in an attempt to buy out wireless minorities. 1. Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Total revenue (in billions): $121.4 Comcast Corporation is among the most valuable telecom companies in the world and its stock is favored by institutional owners who own around 85% of the company's stock.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Other Honorable Mentions 1.

In this edition of The Way Out I'm pleased to bring you my interview with author of the new book High: Confessions of a Cannabis Addict, editor of The Addiction Recovery E-Bulletin, and Producer of the 14 year old Reel Recovery Festival, Leonard Lee Buschel. With 28 years of continuous sobriety, Leonard shares his journey to and through recovery to this point with extraordinary insight combined with great storytelling, as you might expect from a newly minted author who's been sober as long as Leonard has been. One of the greatest pearls of wisdom Leonard bestows upon us is the phenomenon of slowbriety, which has been invoked on this podcast more than a few times, yet bears highlighting, nonetheless. As the term infers, slowbriety is a term that describes our slow but sure emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental evolution in Recovery that results in an increasingly sound mind, body, and soul and the sounder we are in these three areas of being, the more fulfilling and rewarding our recovery and ultimately our lives are so listen up.

We are back for a check-in with each other! Our last recording was in August 2021. This is Us NOW in 2022.

TRUE HOUSE STORIES W/ DR PACKER # 087 - PART 1 Dr Packer is an alias of West Australian DJ/Producer 'Greg Packer' set up for Remixes & Edits of mainly retro music such as 70's , 80's , 90's Soul , Disco , Funk , Hip Hop & Reggae , Greg although known more for 'Liquid Drum & Bass' regularly plays sets of 'Old School Funk , Disco , Hip Hop Etc' purchasing his first record in 1982 at the age of 10 'Grandmaster Flash - The Message' whilst still living in the UK (Northampton England) Greg grew up listening to his mother's disco records (had no choice really) as a child in the 70's it wasn't uncommon to hear music such as 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now' or 'And The Beat Goes On' played in the house so the disco thing really was his first introduction to music , records became his life and has collected approx 25,000 over the years... Shortly after whilst still living in the UK Greg was exposed to a record label called 'Street Sounds' ran by 'Morgan Khan' he began collecting the 'Electro Series' and 'Street Sounds Series' and a regular follower of 'Mike Allen's - Capitol Radio' show in London , he was a full blown 'B-Boy' and Hip Hop Junkie , he even won a breakdancing competition in 'Lowestoft England' back in 1985. Moving on to the 90's shortly after emigrating to 'Perth Western Australia' Greg purchased his first pair of decks in 1989 making this year his 28th year behind the decks , in 1991 he won the WA DMC's and defended the title in 1992 but by this time Greg preferred Club Dj-ing and longer sets rather than a 5 minute scratch battle routine... Greg then moved onto 'Jungle & Drum & Bass' music in the early 90s and often regarded as a pioneer of that sound in Australia winning many awards and went semi global touring (UK , Europe , Asia , New Zealand & Australia) several times playing alongside heavyweights such as 'LTJ Bukem & Carl Cox' to name a few... In 1998 Greg took up production and set up his own studio running his own label 'Interphase Music' He produced over 100 tracks & remixes under the name 'Greg Packer' and was signed to many other labels in the UK & USA including LTJ Bukem's 'Good Looking Records'

Nos toca uno de nuestros popurris y hemos decidido arrancar con un debate acerca del cómic para adultos. ¿Qué es el cómic para adultos? ¿Qué tiene o qué no tiene que lo diferencia de los demás cómics? ¿Son el sexo y la violencia determinantes?

It is already ours… In that discovery, we also know that because of the Finished work of the Cross and Resurrection, the Priesthood changed! Hebrews 7:12 says that the priesthood changed by necessity! It is no longer Levitical. Jesus gave us His Melchizedek Priesthood and we must learn to apprehend the fulness of of that concept walk in that! Melchizedek was a priest and he also was a king. Notice that this is our inheritance – to be both a priest and a king, not just one or the other. Jesus gives us an eternal Royal priesthood with the power of an endless life! How can we comprehend this gift? A Melchizedek king/priest is a mature believer who can hold the world together in balance and prosperity. My friend, it doesn't matter if you have memorized all the Scriptures. IT doesn't matter how loud you can preach. We must remain open for new paradigms of truth – all of us must be ready for constant change and to move toward greater influence and productivity.

Financial literacy is something that is often lacking from our education systems. Kids often learn about saving and investing later in life, wasting precious investment potential.  That is why The 7 Dollar Millionaire wrote Happy Ever After: Financial Freedom Isn't a Fairytale, a book written to teach youth how to get ahead on their path to financial freedom as early as possible to live the lives they want to live. The 7 Dollar Millionaire joins us to talk about the lessons in his book and share sound investment knowledge! https://www.sevendollarmillionaire.com/ ---   Transcript Michael: Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of The Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael album, and today I'm joined by my co host, Tom Schneider. And with us, we have a very special guest, Michael, better known as the $7. Millionaire is with us today, he's going to be talking to us today about personal finance, how to talk to your kids about finance, and some things you can do to be getting ahead and be proactive with your finances. So let's get into it.   Michael, thank you so much for joining us this evening this morning, today really appreciate you taking the time.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Excellent. Thank you for having me here. It's good to be here in your evening. My early morning sons just come up here in Singapore. So it's great to join you.   Michael: Yeah. And so you're out in Singapore. How did you end up there? Just just briefly.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Oh, no, that's a long story. I've been here 18 years now, I studied Southeast Asian economics. And now I work in the finance industry for more than 20 years out here. And this this is like the center of Southeast Asian finance. So it's the place to be.   Michael: Okay. Very cool. And so today, we're gonna be talking about financial literacy, financial independence, growing wealth. And you wrote a book, right? Happily Ever After?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, so I've wrote that book. Actually, five years ago, I read it very specifically for a target market of one. And this was fun when I was talking to my publisher has now just been published by Wiley. And they're like, the who's the target market, I was like, my daughter, who else was originally no one else, I just wrote it for my daughter.   Because I went through a similar thing, I, before I worked in finance, I'd actually been a journalist. And I got into finance and got into finance really kind of by accident. And I had to get up to speed very, very fast. And like, within like a month or two, I kind of realized, actually, I can I can do this. And I felt two emotions at the same time. One, I was like, this is actually quite simple. You know, and it's really important. And one of those two things hit me together as I was kind of angry is, how are we not being taught this really simple, really important stuff? You know, this is I knew immediately it was life changing for me.   And I said, this is could be life changing for everyone. And yeah, I've not learned anything. Like literally, it was kind of two months in, it didn't take a very long time. And I you know, it's not because I'm super clever. It's actually really some simple stuff. I don't use anything particularly clever today. It's a lot of really simple stuff. So I went through that. And I was like, in my mid to late 20s. When I went through that. And now, like five years ago, I'm looking at my 17 year old daughter, she's about to go off to college. And I realize she's not learned any of this stuff, either. And she's an arty kid. She's writing plays, poems and stuff like that. And she doesn't want to learn math, she doesn't want to revise one. Look, I think she knows none of this stuff. She could get into her 30s and 40s. Without investments without savings. With debt, she can make a lot of mistakes. I need to get this through to her. But she's gonna head off to college. So I've got a year do I want every single weekend to be filled with a lecture from dad is that, is that's a such a such a bad idea. So as I get younger, it's going to get up and I'm going to write her book.   And I was thinking, and then it just kind of evolved into a fairy tale for a lot of reasons. And one of the big ones is because what were fairy tales, originally, originally, fairy tales were how you want your kids to do the right thing and not do the wrong thing before Disney got their hands on it. This was all about don't go into the woods. You know, it's all that kind of stuff. And that really evolved very quickly. It's like how to get out of the woods. Right? And, you know, it's been in modern language, right?   So it's like, this works. And so that kind of got me on a roll. And I was all about, okay, how do you get from that kid? Not knowing anything about the numbers finance, to Okay, what's in it? And the fire movement was a bit of an inspiration for this. So financially independent, retire early? How could she be financially independent? How can I get her in one book from knowing nothing all the way through to? Okay, she can actually get all the way through to retiring were in one book. And that was the goal. And so that's, I think I've done that. There's not a huge amount of specifics. I don't get into the weeds on like how to do derivative trading, but I don't think she should.   But that's where we kind of got to by the end of the book.   Tom: I'd love to know, I think probably in the process of writing the book. I didn't change at all of like the content of or did you have a pretty well fleshed out idea in your head before pen to paper, I love the concept to of applying it as a, as you know, the fairytale aspect of learning lessons. But I'd love to learn if you know, did it evolve at all over the process of writing it?   7 Dollar Millionaire: It evolved a lot in as much as I took a look at the first draft maybe about a year ago, and I barely recognize that. But the structure was all there. I mean, even before I did this when my daughter, maybe five years before that, I volunteered with a group here in Singapore that teaches migrant workers there's a lot of migrant workers in Singapore. It's a small island is really developed crazy expensive. So there's only maybe five and a half 6 million people on the island but maybe a million of them are migrant workers.   And So they come from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, and you know, really poor countries and they're coming to make more money. But a lot of them are thinking also, they'll save money, but no one's ever taught them how to do. And so I saw a survey once that said that only 5% save as much as they intend to when they get home. So they don't change their lives, they they kind of put their kids through school, but a lot of them spend 20 years here and don't even see their kids when they're young. And all of it kind of goes on spending, spending, spending, money home and all this stuff. So there's a number of groups that train them.   And so I'd already developed a lot of the concepts like add a very simple level to how to explain how you move from not saving any money at all, how you start tracking. And within that, I built the basic chapter structure for my daughters book.   The basic chapter structure is using the word mission, which is explaining what seven things mean, which is money, income, saving, spending, investing, owning and doing it now, because obviously, that's the only time to invest, right? You don't invest tomorrow. And using that seven chapter structure was is still the same today. And it was right there at the very beginning. So if you've ever written a book, it's really important to kind of have that skeleton, and then you can write around it.   Tom: That's fantastic. And I love that acronym. Yeah, it's just kind of like commentary. I feel like those people finance as an industry love to like throw a bunch of acronyms and like do things kind of more confusing, you confusingly, and this book Happily Ever After, it kind of puts it right on its head instead of this confusing, more convoluted story. It's a fairy tale where it simplifies not only explaining to your 17 year old daughter, but you know, kind of cross cultural. So you talked about some of the migrant workers, I don't know did some of that go in or distribution or, you know?   7 Dollar Millionaire: So I worked with them for quite a few years, just sort of training on Saturdays. But what I was doing and I was kind of seeing what they were already taught retooling it, repurposing, and sing, because I tell a little bit of a joke there. And it's just written not very funny joke. So I shouldn't have introduced it as a joke. Finances like 1%, numeracy, 98%, psychology, and 1% not worrying that it doesn't add up to start with, right, this. It is that's about right. It's really not very many numbers in it. There's not a lot of complex stuff in it.   The reason we we in finance, use a lot of acronyms. It's not to confuse people outside. It's that there are a lot of layers on the things that we do. And we don't want to refer to all those layers every time we talk. CDO is a collateralized debt obligation. It's like, Okay, well, if you want to break that down, every time we explain what we're doing here, what we're trading, you know, this, by the way, not what I do, there are things beneath that. But we don't need to be at that level, when you're starting out, you need to know I need to save before I spend any money I need to take once I've got enough savings as an emergency fund, I need to tuck that away, I need to start putting it into investments. What do I need to invest in? Probably the biggest index funds I can find at the cheapest price.   You know, you get that right. You're kind of 98% of perfection. Now, the next 2% take a lot of effort. But you know what, that's so much better than zero. And that's really where my book stops? In no point do I start getting into the weeds of saying, Oh, you could do this better, you could do this better, you could do this better? What if I get a 1% higher return. That's the stuff that puts people off. And my goal is not to put anyone off it's find them where they're at, and just kind of move them up one level.   Because I think about if you think about like a financial literacy is a pyramid. Most people are at the bottom. It's a very shallow pyramid. Not many people at the top. But if you look at the literature, most of its up the top, it's all about hedge fund guys running about how to invest in hedge funds. It's not about Okay, how do I go from knowing nothing to knowing one. And that's really where we focus just that let's go from zero to one, first timer, right and makes them comfortable because it's the psychology that really matters.   Michael: I think that's so interesting. I know here in the States, we talk so often about talk slash complain about how the financial literacy has not existed in schools. And I don't know if it's comforting or infuriating to hear that it's it's similar in the Southeast Asian culture as well that it's just is not taught in the schools.   7 Dollar Millionaire: We're probably in the two parts of the world that have the best financial literacy, the US has the highest financial literacy rates on the planet. And the second highest are places like Singapore and China. I think that fire number now the 4% rule or 25 times your spending is the perfect description of financial literacy. And the reason I say that is because that's the end goal.   If you can actually explain how do I never have to work again How do I never have to worry about working for money again, that shows you got real financial literacy because you've got an end goal and you kind of know how to get there the goal tends to tells you how to get there. So with that, I think there's like less than one or 2% Financial Literacy on the planet no one ever wants to talk about oh but you should be doing this with your 401k or your Roth or in the UK it's your ICER or your junior ISA cash I see your stuff just over complicates things just get the money away right get it away from you and get it to somewhere where earns more than an interest rate in a bank. They just even yesterday, someone replied to my Twitter's like you can't make 7% interest rate. Like, I'd never set the interest rate that said investment return. Why did you read interest rate? You know, it's those are two totally Why would you lend money to a bank? Why would you do that? It doesn't make any sense. It's like get an investment return. Yeah, totally different thing.   Michael: Yeah.   7 Dollar Millionaire: People overcomplicate with these things and and that stops people from doing it. Just keep it simple. And people will come in, and then they'll learn, right? That's the key. I think I'm sure you know, with what you guys do is that people learn so much as they're doing it rather than before they do it.   Michael: Yes. Yes, the time in the market is so much better than time than trying to time the market. Similar with real estate investing, you know, you're gonna learn so much more from just doing it. Then you could ever learn from a book or a lesson or a speech, you know, what have you.   So I've got to ask kind of question that I feel like is being begged here. Where is your daughter today on her financial journey? How does the book land?   7 Dollar Millionaire: That's brilliant question because she said she went off to college. So she read the book, she helped me edit the book. She worked on it. She told me she understood everything. And actually also one of the key points with the way she edited the book and the way we I worked on the book with even people after her was always Okay, be honest. Where did you stop reading? What got you so bored? You couldn't push forward?   Michael: Right?   7 Dollar Millionaire: So I got a lot of heat. And so he was often as the same page like, Okay, I gotta take some numbers out of that and all that kind of stuff. So she got through the book, and she didn't she went off to college. And then she was in her final year at college. Last year when Coronavirus said she had to come home and Yeah, but you know, like everyone that age, it's a bit it's a traumatic time to be a college. Yeah. She came home to Singapore. She got a job three months ago. And she's put, I don't know what percent is. But she's put a percentage of every paycheck into an investment account every month since she called back. So for me, the book has worked, right, like the initial target market of 100% success record.   Tom: Yeah.   7 Dollar Millionaire: That's done. Second customer, I don't know yet. But for her, you know, it worked. It did its job. As she's putting money away. She does not. She's not a finance geek. She doesn't pretend to understand anything. She just knows she's got to put money into an investment account, because she was the person that came up with $7 millionaire in a my pseudonym. Because she, what? We came up with it together, we were talking about compounding, we're talking about the number where you know, whether it's the 4% rule, or 25 times and we're having that discussion.   And she said so. Okay, but so if I think I need a million dollars, right? So that would be 40,000 a year to live on. If I need that. What's the smallest amount I need to save every day to get to a million dollars before I retired, let's say at 70. That's just one of those questions. I was like, Google that first no answer. There. You know, obviously, my second place is okay, spreadsheet, 5 minutes later. He looks at you still working on that. So yeah, I got it done.   I was I know it took me five minutes because I was double checking and triple checking it because I was surprised it was just $7. That's the thing of compounding. We kind of often take it for granted. But when you look at the you know, compounding chart, you forget it kind of goes vertical so quickly, right?   Michael: It's exponential.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, yeah, it just goes vertical. So quickly. It's like, how did that How did $7 turn to him? And I checked it and checked it and checked against it. It's only $7. And she's like, Are you serious? Say Yep, $7 you'll be a millionaire by you know, by the time you retire. And I think she's like, lots of us think that's not in my it's not in my realm of possibility to become a millionaire because we haven't thought about it. And when you have $7 like, okay, that's possible. And that just flicked a switch. I can see no, right. And that's why I know when she came back, she liked the money when she saved money at college. Now she you know, she actually put money where college she spent below her allowance, and she put some money away college, which you know, that's she was motivated from them.   Michael: Good for her.   7 Dollar Millionaire: She's not a money person. This is just it's really all about just okay, she understood it. She knows it's important. She puts it away.   Michael: So just digging a little deeper on that $7 figure. So what goes into that? So it's $7 a day, at what percent return?   7 Dollar Millionaire: 7 %   Michael: I'd set a percent return for how many years?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Okay, so you start at 20? And at 70.   Michael: So for 50 years? $7 a day at 7%?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, because she asked me I'm very specific. What's the smallest amount I need to save? And I was I okay, smart question. And then it has to be Yeah, it's like, well, what is the smallest amount has to be over the longest period of time, right? sahn short, and the longest period of time would be okay, she's 17. She leaves college. And I'm not going to do it at 21 and a half. I'm not gonna make my life hard with tough math, right? Let's just do it over 50 years. And so 50 years, it said 7%. So it's not even I didn't even do 7.2 which doubles, it's just 7% in the spreadsheet. And that turns it literally turns into a million dollars at 69 and a half, you get like an extra you get 200 days off, essentially. And you don't have to, but it's funny because you can kind of do it. I do it in my in my on my fingers now. Right? So you do $7 is 2555 a year.   So it's a $200 210 a month 2555. So it's 25 grand every decade right now. If you start investing at the beginning that 25 turns into 35 in the first decade, so and then we're just going to quick proof, right? Just so 35 grand in the first decade. Now, because 7%, it doubles every 10 years. So you got 35 goes to 70 goes to 140, goes to 280 goes to 560, that's just the first 10 years of savings is 560 grand, by the time you're 70, you just do 10 years of saving at $7. And that's half a million dollars by the time, right and then the other 40 years stack up the same way.   So it's you can just do it in your hand on the master, it does actually back out. And it's such a small number. It's like you think about the the average income in the US Now, I'm not saying everyone can go for it immediately. It's very important to not say, Look, everyone can do this. But a lot of people can. And the people who can't, who really, really can't, they can maybe start some of the habits that can lead them towards it. And that's the key and a even those people who can't can look at their kids and just say you can do this because you don't work yet. You don't have all the costs yet you haven't had this sort of lifestyle creep that we all get where we think oh, I've earned this I I earned this. I have to spend this,   Michael: I deserve this.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Oh don't. Now that won't get to me. Now I'm ready to Yeah, it's like the advertising campaign, because you're worth it. I think I'm worth the money. More than the cheesy advertising line. Yeah,   Michael: That's mind blowing Michael $7 a day, I'm gonna have to go do some restructuring of my life after this conversation.   Tom: So the book has been released. I'm super excited. I'm looking at it on the Amazon right now. How's the reception been? And kind of any ideas on you know, follow up? Or do you think this is just like, like, exactly the kind of piece that you need to put in now and it's good, or I'd love to hear how kind of your your relationship with the $7 Millionaire brand has evolved over time and kind of thoughts on kind of next steps or what are your thoughts?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, the reception has been very good. It's interesting. There's very rarely any pushback, I feel that everyone just says like, yeah, we need this information. You know, it's kind of pointless us not having this information. I have more pushback in my own head from people than actually happens in real life. Right. I'm so prepared for an argument and it just never comes. People I think are on the side of this more than being against it. In many ways. That's insane. If we assume that there's not very many markets in the world where like, everyone knows they need this. Yeah. And no one is giving it to them. I mean, that's nuts. Right?   Tom: Yeah.   7 Dollar Millionaire: But that's what we're in in financial literacy it. So that's the reception has been strong. My publisher have asked me to do another book. We had a conversation last week. And I'm like, Yeah, no, probably not happening. Yeah, I have a full time job.   Tom; You hit your target market.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah. She's already doing what she's supposed to do.   Michael: Yeah. Quit while you're ahead.   7 Dollar Millionaire: There are a couple of other concepts that aren't in the book that I would like to communicate, but honestly, they're not a book. Yeah, this is a very unpopular opinion. I'm a bit critical of Malcolm Gladwell. I feel like he turns the tiniest idea into the longest book possible.   When I've read a Malcolm Gladwell book, I kind of get that should have been a magazine article. I got that, like, 200 pages ago.   Michael: Why are we still talking about it?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, if I, if I practice a lot, I get good at stuff. Okay. Yeah, I got one other idea that but it's, it's really the only other idea I have that I think is is missing from this book is actually how to invest is that the best way of doing it is, once you've bought the index fund, use the index fund as your education.   So you know, a lot of people think just index fund index fund forever. And a lot of people find that dissatisfying. So they buy stocks before they buy an index fund, because what they kind of think they're cleverer than other people. So they buy stocks, and an index fund is the objective. Now, it's a ready made portfolio, we run up a value and we look at it and we assess it and we work out how, what's worked, what didn't work, what, what was in the portfolio that worked and didn't work, what was outside the portfolio, that work that we didn't have, and we could have had. And we use that as our starting point.   Now, that's a really good exercise for like the next stage up from what I have in the book currently. I'm just not sure I could write a book about it. So I'm not sure well, yeah, and there's like, what I tend to do is sort of talk about it and blog posts and tweets and stuff, which I figure you know, same thing. People get the information anyway.   Michael: People read it. Yeah,   Tom: I think so. Like the opposite of of apathy, like being really close to it sometimes, like lay awake at night thinking like, man, why don't I put a little money in Bitcoin? Like I knew about it in college, like I knew about it back then. This sort of, I don't know, I guess, second guessing yourself, or, you know, I don't know. What would you say to me who's laying awake at night thinking about Bitcoin? I guess on this kind of more speculative stuff that you don't know a whole ton about.   7 Dollar Millionaire: I will do two things right. We'll get back to the people that want to buy stocks immediately. They want to be more speculative rather than the reason they want to do that is they've got this phrase in their head of I want to beat the market. Right and 90% of people who say they want to be the market don't even know what the market is.   Tom: Yeah,   7 Dollar Millionaire: How's that number calculated this thing that did 13.6%. Last year? How was that calculated? If you can't tell me how that's calculated? Why would you want to try and beat it? How would you even know how to beat it? If you don't know what it is? Right,   Tom: You're sitting at the poker table, not knowing who's playing poker with you?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, want to beat them?   Tom: Right?   Michael: Yeah, every single one of them?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, it's like, This is madness. And people don't know, it's madness. So number one is that understand your own rationale? Why you're trying to do this for things where you and but you asked a different question. You asked about something like Bitcoin? You know, you missed it? Or?   Tom: I don't know. GameStop? I don't know.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Anyways, that's a whole different bag of words. Yeah. But it's, it's, it's actually about learning and learning properly, it's fine to look backwards a little bit. And actually, okay, why did I make this mistake? So just within my day job, we missed an investment, we missed them. At times, they're in your space, and you get it wrong. And literally, I go see people at the company, people who've worked there, do my analysis, go and say, Why did I miss you? Why didn't I get your stock? Right? Why did I make that mistake, and I write it down, I write the report as to why I didn't do this correctly.   And it's if you can have to make sure that you don't learn the wrong lesson. The wrong lesson is Oh, bitcoins gone up, I need to jump into bitcoin. It's like, why didn't I make this decision? What is there about this decision that I'm not making correctly? Do I need to do something else? Do I have a different mandate internally, this is actually getting very complicated way, way, way away from the book. But that's, it's it's all about learning. And so much of the learning is actually about psychology is like, do I'd like punting? Do I really love chasing those returns? Or do I need to understand that, you know, I don't know what the market is, so I shouldn't be chasing it. You know, I should actually, do I need to have a little bit of money into bitcoin, just so I can forget about it. You know, just like, maybe put like, 2% of my portfolio into bitcoin. And you know, now I don't have to worry if it goes up 100 times, yay. If it goes down, no, no big deal, right. And so it's about understanding what you need to take care of psychologically, rather than thinking any of us know about the future, which none of us do.   Michael: That's so good. Love it. It's a bit of a digression from the book, but I'm glad to have heard that.   Michael: Yeah, that one's on the house.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, we'll do it. Everyone. None of us can predict the future. But it's so important to actually just know, what is the mistake I made. Don't just assume you know, the mistake. You know, this is what the mistake was, kind of go back and learn about yourself. Yeah. This is why people like Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett is so interesting. You know, it's not that they're so successful. It's because they show they're working. They actually very, very open about their thought process. And these are really smart guys. But the smartest thing is about how open they are about their thought process.   Michael: That's so good. I'm curious, Michael, you mentioned a little bit ago about, you know, some of the folks that maybe aren't able to put aside that $7 a day, but they can teach their kids great habits, what are some things tips, tricks, tidbits, pieces of advice that you would recommend to folks who are just getting started, and who really maybe want to make their first investment in real estate, but haven't quite aren't able to get up to that point yet? They're just starting out with their financial journey. What what are some things they should be thinking about doing?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, okay. So in terms of the very, very selling points, it's about finding habits, you know, it's really about working out the habit that you can develop, that's going to have the biggest change, because so much of this is habit, not actual, you know, science or knowledge as habit. The most important one is is we have it's the order of mission, right? The the acronym in the book. Yeah, the first S is saving. The second S is spending, it's for a reason, it's like saving comes before spending.   People who think I have this conversation, and sometimes I've even said that three or four times, and people come back to me and say, so what I have left at the end of the month, no, that's money you accidentally didn't spend. That's the same thing as say, saving his money you intentionally save at the beginning of the month.   Tom: Yeah,   7 Dollar Millionaire: It's on the top of your budget, the stuff at the end of the month, nice, put it into the savings account, but it's not saving this accidentally not spent. So if you can develop that habit of any amount of money, any amount, this goes away at the beginning of the month, and you put yourself on that slightly tighten that belt a little bit right the beginning of the month by putting some money away. That is step number one. Step number two is is target that emergency fund. And this the basic emergency fund, some people took about three months savings on top of the spending rather something about six months of spending. I just think if you've got a grand, that's a you've got a base, you know, you can start building up from there. $1,000 there was a statistic at the end of 2019 that said that, I think it was 61% of Americans didn't have $1,000 of savings in their bank account for an emergency and the irony of that being at the end of 2019 whereas everyone had an emergency in 2020. I mean $1,000 How far is that gonna go? It goes $1,000 further than zero, right? It's a this is just avoid something that's a starting point. But if you get to 1000 you can get to two because you know the path, right? And you can get to three and you can get through it…   Michael: Again and again.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I think that's the first side, then it comes a question of where you want to go. Next I, my belief is everyone should be investing in growth assets. So whether it's I tend to talk about equities and indices, but properties also it real estate. The other most important growth asset, but the thing I would say, again, I am a private real estate investor. But I think the the thing I think is so important about real estate is to lose the two words, dream home. Too many people think that's the only kind of property you can buy, they have to fall in love with the thing, right?   So if you can afford a garage that rents out at 20%, do it. I mean, just buy, buy that thing, buy the property that gives you a good return. That's how property should be viewed. One day, if you can afford a dream home, by all means, but until you can afford it, it belongs in your dreams, not in reality, if you want to invest in something physical, tangible, where you and you can collect a yield, then then small simple properties. I mean, particularly for people, I think you have a skill set, you know, someone who can actually renovate stuff, it's I think it's one of the intriguing things about real estate, I don't know a huge amount about it. But one things I know is that big corporations don't do small real estate, well, it just it's so the little bite sizes are hard. So there's it's actually kind of a it's a market, which is inefficient, which people outside the industry always think that's a bad thing. But no, inefficient is a good thing. Right?   Michael: It means opportunity,   7 Dollar Millionaire: It means opportunity. And it's like so very often, you can get very high yields good returns as a small guy, which in the equity side and other investment sides, you know, scale works, right, you get better returns on the scale. So that's one of the reasons why I think everyone should have a mix of those things, but emergency fund first, then into enough to get yourself out of that deposit down payment on your first property, to have that low target for that first property, treat it as an asset class rather than the dream home.   Michael: That makes so much sense.   Tom: This is so fantastic. So many of these episodes that we do end up being like, kind of self serving. So the way that you think about saving, as you know, it's not just look at what's leftover after the end of the month, it is at the beginning of the month, you move in. And then you know if there's a little extra money after that great, but you're not, you know, it's that first initial savings is so important. I had never thought about that way. And I'm just reading some notes for my my bank account, I'm gonna be doing some changes and moving money across.   7 Dollar Millionaire: It is the first thing on your budget, if you put it as the first thing on your budget, right? It's like, you know, it's not enough of us actually have a proper budget. And you know, in a proper budget, I mean, something that you didn't write in month one, because a lot of us, right, okay, I want to do this, and then we don't even track it. So we don't even know if we're close, but track it know what you actually do.   And like, I spent 25% of my money eating out, right, then all of a sudden that the next month when you budget and go, No, that's going to be 10 tops, all sudden, you just freed up 15% to save money, right? And you actually when you know what you do, because you've tracked it and you've analyzed it, and you budget it, then you found that for you, because if you do the beginning the month, you have to find it from somewhere else. Right, they say it and you find it from the things you think you were overspending on. And this is the step the you know, the guy who talked about avocado toast five years ago, which was current when I wrote the book, and my daughter is not so current anymore, but that guy, man, he I think he pissed off enough people we can still talk about and five years later, yeah,   Michael: Easily, easily.   7 Dollar Millionaire: And the people that wrote about lattes five years before that, you know, it's not the latter, it's not the avocado texture, it is the thing you're spending your money on that you don't want to write. And you only know that if you track it, and you can improve it, if…   Tom: Tou can't measure it,   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, but it won't happen accidentally, you won't just not buy, let's have the opposite of an avocado toast, right? Let's say, I know it's a meat pie, or whatever it is the thing that you add that you spend money on that you didn't need to spend money on. You'll only know that if you only know you're doing that if you track it, and then you can plan it, and you take it out the beginning of the month and put it into your savings. And now you know you're not allowed to do it. Right, because you're going to get short at the end of the month.   But what it also does is as a psychologically, again, I use that word all the time, because that's what finance is personal finance is all psychology, 99% psychology. And the what you've done is you've just given yourself a thing you want to achieve, you're no longer in denial, right? So if you've got no goal you're aiming for with the money, not having that thing that you're saving money on is denial. But if you're actually not having it to achieve the savings target, it's a positive.   And I think of it like smoking. No one ever gives up smoking that wants to be a smoker. They carry on smoking, the people that give up smoking and people that want to become non smokers. They want to be healthy. They're actually the smoking is taking them away from the goal that they really want and that's how you achieve the achieve things and the same with savings. If you're like denial, I mustn't do this, I mustn't do this, I mustn't do this, it won't happen, it will all feel really painful. But at the beginning of $200 is going away. And I know it's coming from these items that I spent too much money on normally, all of a sudden down the month, I know that that's going to, I'm gonna have to take money out of my savings at the end of the month. If I do that. I'm not doing it because it takes you away from your goal.   Michael: Yeah, I guess reframing it as an investment, that savings goal and budgeting as opposed to a sacrifice, I think can help be much easier. And that's Oh, you know, people love investing. People hate sacrificing.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, exactly. And it just, it's not sustainable. You can maybe do it once or twice, right sacrifices on something you can do every single month has to be something you want to achieve.   Tom: Yeah, it seems like the psychology seems to be like a recurring theme. And you know, getting to happy ever after, I'd love to hear any, you know, other books or kind of like other inspirations that you think are kind of other core fundamentals that to read along with happy ever after that you think are kind of along similar themes.   7 Dollar Millionaire: The most important one is is your money or your life, the author of which I forget the name, but he was the guy that basically developed all the math behind the fire movement. But I'm actually I'm going to be really self serving and say, there isn't one. Honestly,  I wouldn't have woken up at six o'clock in the morning to write a book for my daughter, if I could have bought one in terms of just like really starting out with something that can explain things to like, to a 1718 year old. Okay, someone who's really good at maths thinks they know, well, this already. It's the wrong book for that. But for those people who are just like, I don't even want to think about this, I had to take that attitude. It's like, I had to write for someone who is my daughter.   She's sad the age where it's like, oh, yeah, good. She's gonna roll her eyes every time I say anything that she doesn't want to hear. Right? So it's a tough audience, not an easy audience. So with that approach, I looked around number one, I work in the industry, I know most of the books, and that would be in the right space. But I did look around talking to my teens, and it's like, they're either too young, or they're too old, or they're too difficult, or they don't do the whole thing, or they get into too many specifics. I didn't want to teach my kids about 401 K's because she's not American.   And, you know, I wanted it to have that sort of universal appeal. And you can't teach kids about how to do tax structures, right? Because tax structures change every year. There's no keeping up with this stuff. Once you got the money and it's gonna go in then you learn the tax structure, but not until right so I would say your money or your life because it's the bedrock of the financial independence retire early movement.   I still love the guy mister money mustache, his website, I think, you know, I don't think he's done a book done a book even but that he just starts with the right approach. There's like one of his blog posts is you know how to give up your stupid big  habit. You know, he says it right. You know, it's so many things we do is stupid. And we don't think about them. And it's just you say as it is, right?   Tom: Just don't sugarcoat it. Yeah, yeah, it's stupid. Yeah. Fantastic. I have a couple of nephews that I taking early advantage of by Christmas list buying for nephews and nieces. So   7 Dollar Millionaire: Excellent. Perfect. Yeah, I'm not saying it's all about the sales. But yeah, good like to hear.     Tom: Spreading the gospel, spreading the gospel.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Exactly. I have another book, if you go to the website, the $7 millionaire.com. Somewhere on there, you'll find there's a thing called the $1,000 Journal. And he just to sort of make the point, that's mine, I self published it. And the reason I self published it is because I give it away. You know, I would give this one away, if I could, cuz he says this is my It is about spreading the gospel. But it's I get it through a publisher because they can hit all the markets everywhere in the world without me having to worry about making sure that there's deliveries and all that kind of stuff.   For me, the big problem is, is actually it's solved by the $1,000. Journal, I you know, the big problem in the world of financial literacy is not people that buy books, or have people buy books for them. The big problem in the world is people who don't have books, you don't get books bought for them. That's like, you know, of a, let's say, a billion dollar market that can really benefit from financial literacy, probably somewhere in the region, and 900,000 900 million of them aren't getting bought books, hey, if I sell 100 million books, I'm happy, don't get me wrong.   That is the bigger problem. And that's why I keep that self published. And I just give that journal away whenever I can. Because it's, it's simpler. And it's more basic. So go on there and have a look at that one as well. And download that. And you'll see it's that's about the mission, but the this one, we feel comfortable giving that to migrant workers, you know, it's with low education levels, whereas the happy ever after you sort of someone who's finishing school is just about right, beautiful. Yeah.   Michael: What a great graduation gift for folks. That's perfect. Michael, I'm curious, and I might already know the answer, but I'd love to hear it from you when somebody is putting together their budget. And you know, I know you said that they should kind of work backwards from their goal from their target and then kind of pay themselves first as you put it, and then then whatever's left over that so they can spend Is there a good goal that people should be targeting in terms of savings whether as a percentage of the income or as $1 amount they save till it hurts. You know, if it's too easy, is that not enough? How should people be thinking about that?   7 Dollar Millionaire: You know the answer in there, right? Because that's all about psychology. Because if you do it too hard for you really too hard, you know, you're going to give up after two months, I can do it. Yeah, you're gonna start easy and build up on it and build those muscles, right? I think so. Starting easy is good. I think the second thing is as a, one of my favorite tips in the book is one I was given and totally ignored when I was young, which is every time you get a pay raise, save half, immediately. So like, let's say you're saving 5%, you get a 10% raise, you get another 5% and put that fight because you're not used to the money. Right? So just put away,   Michael: You're not Gonna feel it.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, yeah. So it's easy, it's easy to put away, which is a great way of actually adding to your savings rate for most of us. So I'd actually in the book, we discuss what is the percent you need to save to actually target a fire outcome. So assuming 7% returns, if you want to retire by the age of late 30s, early 40s, you have to be saving half or more than half of your income, to be able to like 55-50 55% of your income saved, you can retire before you're 40. If you think that that's just way too much, and you want to say okay, I want to get done by 50, you're gonna work for 30 years, and then have enough money left the rest of your life, you need to be saving around the sort of the 40-35 40% of your income. So the stats are all in the book with all the kinds of different percentage rates.   But that's one of the ways to think, you know, you've got to pay for the rest of your life. And if you want to kind of have that as a target, where can I achieve that? I think the one of the big inspirations I saw when looking at the fire movement is a couple of their teachers in Las Vegas. And I'm not sure if they're in Las Vegas anymore. Their Their names are Joe and Allie Olson, I had a really great email exchange a couple of years back with Joe. And they retired after working as teachers for eight years.   Michael: Wow.   7 Dollar Millionaire: They go off and get us to go into the weeds about all this stuff. They did it this essentially, it was just one rule. And when they left college, they decided they will never spend any more money than they spent when they were in college. Because they just asked himself, did we have a bad time when we're in college? No. So why would we need to spend three times four times that when we're out of college, we'll just do what we did when we're in college, and we'll have a great time.   So they are basically saving three years of spending every year they save 75% of their income. The math there is super easy, right? There's almost no compounding involved, right? You're saving three years, every year, in eight years, you save 24 years of your spending, you're out, you're done. And so if you want to really be aggressive, I was 18. I'd be thinking that's got to be doable, right? That has to be doable. But that's such a great and if you start thinking, Okay, if I double my spending now to 50% of my income, I could be done before 40, when I heard people talk about retiring by 40, I just had in my head, they were gonna be like curing cancer or inventing the computer or this kind of thing, right? They had to be like crazy rich.   And you just realize No, it's about what you spend, if you're used to low spending, this can be done. Right. And, and the beauty of that is like, you can do two things with money, you can save it or you can spend it The less you spend, the less you need to spend when you stop working. So you're financially independent, much faster. But you're also saving more towards it every month. So you're getting towards that goal faster. So it gets hit from both sides, you get to that goal much faster. That would be you know, you're asking me back to your question.   If you asked me what I would say to someone young, that's how I would ask them to think about it. How long do you want to work for? And and wait till you've done your job? to three months? And then answer that question again.   Michael: Right. Life beats you up a little bit.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah. Yeah. When you start feeling the pain, let's say it's like, I have to do this every day. I'm thinking eight years is done sound really good? Right? Right. It's just that to me is is is how are we getting? Think about it?   Michael: That is so good. That is so good. So I'm curious, one final question for you. And then I'll kick it over to Tom. And then we'll let you get out of here. But curious to know how you would think about real estate as part of this whole retiring early asset class and amount you need to retire. So I know that there's the 4% rule and error that are 25 times your spending, you should have in savings to walk away from the job. So if real estate pays you call it 200 bucks a month, $2400 a year? Should that asset be valued at 25x? As in a cash equivalent?   7 Dollar Millionaire: That's good question. It's about whether you're in a high yield or low yield, real estate environment. So number one, if you live in the property, it's not included.   Michael: Right, right. I'm talking pure investment property.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah. So if you live in, it's not included. That's something that a lot of people get wrong, twice really, really hard to do this and a low yield high property cost city, for example, because so much of your asset is the thing you're living in, and you're excluding it. So that's number one. Number two, I would actually so we actually included in the book and it's got the three house investment plan, because essentially, if you've got three properties, and they're all roughly the same, you live in one, you take rent of two. If you go back to the traditional rule that you should be spending a third of your income on your accommodation, then a third of your assets can be an accommodation you live in one, you take the income off to your property good, no matter where you are.   So that kind of as the simplest kind of retirement plan on the planet, and the beauty of it is, of course, with property, you get the income coming in, and the capital gain is the capital gain just takes care of itself. So you're kind of matched with that with asset growth as well. So it's a super simple, nice plan. In terms of the other stuff, it's if you're in a low yield environment, then you kind of have to, you should be looking at 4% as the rule, because you just won't be making enough return on those assets, you're going to have to really, really build up those assets. And you should probably be if you're in a low yield environment, and you're looking to retire on it, you should probably not be in real estate too much, right? This is your money should be making money.   So I live in Singapore, the place I rent makes, like 1.1% yield. Yeah. And I rent because I'm like, I can beat 1.1% of other investments. And if I can't, I shouldn't be doing this, right. I look around the region. That's one things I talked to when we do work with migrant workers. Places in the Philippines make like a double digit yield. And, you know, people that I work with, you know, would tell me Don't tell them, they can achieve financial freedom, like they can make 12% yield on property, they can achieve financial freedom faster than I can. It's about doing that assessment. And I know in the US, I know very little about real estate in the US, but they know that the markets quite segregated, there is a low yield part like an uptown in big cities, and then there is like a high yield environment as well. And if you can capture that gain, just treated that as your investment base, I like the idea of simple property, they can just live off the yield you get, and then let the capital base take care of itself.   Because in many ways, that's what we've been 25 times does, right? You spend 4%, and you hope you make 7% in your returns. And that takes care of inflation, whereas actually in property investing your your yield is your yield and hopefully the capital gain takes care of the the inflation so inflation, it can be much simpler. I think I got really convoluted there because it is a more complex problem. There is a simpler approach to real estate, just take the yield and let the capital gain work on its own.   Tom: Yeah. And also the whole like, you know, very cheap debt, especially taking advantage of conventional financing loan pay down there's Yeah, so many good deals. Alright, so this will be quick, Michael. So we have with some guests, we bring this out. There's 10 it's kind of an either or type of question. You don't have to overthink it. Okay. And it's, it's I think you'll get the flow of it as soon as we get going. So are you ready for some quickfire questions?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, I had coffee. We're good.   Tom: Okay, perfect. All right. consolidation or diversification?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Diversification.   Tom: High property taxes, or high income taxes. So the unique thing about the United States where some places don't have income, income taxes?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Pass   Tom: when you can you're welcome to punt on some of them.   7 Dollar Millionaire:   Yeah, I'm passing that on. I I'll tell you why. It's actually that's a political debate. And I don't get into politics because it's the playing field is a playing field countries are clubs. Everyone gets to vote. Yeah. Right. And I try to be international about what I do. So I have kind of no opinion. Other people set the playing field we play in it, so I don't have an opinion.   Tom: I like that. High rent growth or low vacancy?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah. Not enough of an expert don't have an opinion. Sorry.   Tom: Got it. Cashflow like yield or appreciation?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Cashflow.   Tom: Love it. Debt or equity?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Equity.   Tom: Single family or multifamily?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Oh, that's like you're talking about a property type?   Tom: Yeah.   7 Dollar Millionaire: That's because you guys are experts in that.   Michael: We're split two, I think, amongst us are all over the place.   7 Dollar Millionaire: So you know, I think as a non expert, I've been doing single family.   Tom: Local or remote?   7 Dollar Millionaire: For most people, I'd say, local. However, I'm going to have to cop on that one and say that the property I own is miles away.   Michael: You're on the right show.   Tom: Yeah. You're on the remote real estate investor. So that's alright.   You're almost done. turnkey or massive project?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Oh, man. I've done project.   Tom: And this is your your opinion.   7 Dollar Millionaire: So like, yeah. I have done project. So I'll take turnkey from now on.   Tom: Yeah. All right. final three questions. Non finance real estate related. Midnight Oil or early bird worm?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Okay, I'm gonna give a long answer, because I have a real opinion on it. So there's a reason I wrote the book first thing in the morning. I didn't know this. Until when I wrote this book. I write early in the morning. And the reason I write early in the morning is because I have an internal critic that wakes up about 10 o'clock. So if I start writing at six, I can write four hours before someone in my head tells me it's rubbish, which gives me so much time to actually kind of get stuff done that otherwise I'd be like, mmm, hmm, do that double, triple quadruple thinking it and I can just get like 2000 words done first thing so early morning, and then if I want to edit it later in the day, but not Midnight Oil ever, you know, there's just like that I'm chilled by like eight o'clock. I'm not gonna get anything done.   Tom: Yeah, going back to earlier conversation. It's kind of like paying yourself first and savings. It's like you're you're paying the beginning of your day to yourself for something that you you know, care about and national.   Michael: Nice full circle Tom.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, very good. We should go now.   Michael: Cut.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah.   Tom: We got it!    Final two text message or email?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Text.   Tom: The last question, most important question, olive oil or butter?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Boats have their place. Yeah. Why are we choosing between northern Italy and southern Italy.   Tom: Fair. Those are the quickfire questions. Michael, this was super fun. Thank you so much for coming on.   Michael: This was great.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, it's really good. Thanks, guys. And thanks for doing this. I'm guessing that a lot of the shows you do are very similar to this and you get explore a lot of ideas. That's what we need, right. But the most important thing is that people learn finance, and you guys are doing that so well as well. So whether it's in a little one area, like real estate or abroad, just needs to happen. So thanks for doing it.   Tom: Just to confirm the best place to find your book, you would recommend Amazon?   7 Dollar Millionaire: Yeah, go to Amazon. I think that's the best place to go. So happy ever after buy the $7 millionaire on amazon.com. And I would suggest that as a starting place if you know that you've got like like yourself, you've got a niece or nephew wondering that… he may be a little bit young for the book. It's if you've got a niece or nephew just go straight to the book. Because that's it's really is everything in one place. And it's designed to be a little bit more fun and easy to get through than than the website. But if it's that's not the reason Yes. 7dollarmillionaire.com would also be the place to find me.   Michael: Awesome. Well, thank you again. This was so great, Michael. I'm sure we'll catch you catch you soon.   7 Dollar Millionaire: Excellent.   Michael: All righty, everybody. That was our episode a big big, big thank you to Michael for coming on. It was early in the morning in Singapore where he was recording the episode. It was a lot of fun. We hope to have him on again soon. If you liked the episode, feel free to give us a rating or review wherever you listen to your podcast. And also feel free to check out his book happy ever after available on Amazon or a 7dollarmillionaire.com thanks so much for listening. We'll see you on the next one and happy investing

Humanitarian, activist, writer and TV host Zainab Salbi has become a leading voice for women's rights. A survivor of struggles both geopolitical and personal, Zainab has taken her hard-won insights about conflict and healing, and used that empathy to organize and inspire. Along the way, she's developed a deep connection to the natural world, where she finds rich metaphors that inform her work.     Zainab grew up in Iraq, in the shadow of Saddam Hussein's regime, before fleeing to the United States at the age of 19. In 1993, she founded Women for Women, a global humanitarian effort that has helped half a million women affected by conflict.   Her awards and accolades include inclusion in Foreign Policy Magazine's “100 Leading Global Thinkers” and People Magazine's “25 Women Changing The World.” She is the author of several books, including her most recent, Freedom Is An Inside Job: Owning Our Darkness and Our Light to Heal Ourselves and the World.    We met Zainab for a crisp, socially-distanced, leaf-crunching walk at a nature preserve in Pawling, New York, 75 miles north of New York City. It was November, 2020, just days after the Presidential election, and though the votes were still being counted, it was already clear that America remained divided.   Impressed by her experience working with survivors of global conflicts, we wanted to ask Zainab about what comes next. In the wake of #metoo and #blacklivesmatter, and as we confront the growing threat of violent extremism in the US… Now what?  How can societies and souls overcome our greatest failings?

Michael Chad Barrett earned degrees in painting and art history from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While attending, he discovered that he could combine classical painting techniques with a sophisticated use of Southern decorative tradition, to create art that is simultaneously original and familiar. Chad Barrett's work expresses narratives in subject and context: landscapes that capture the mystery of a country tableau, still-lifes that dramatize the juxtaposition of shapes and movement, portraits that play with divine elegance and period style. His work is a constant cycle of construction and deconstruction. The result is a discussion of contrast - image vs. materials, decadence vs. simplicity, depth vs. artifice. In this episode of Look at Us now, Fran talks with Chad who happens to also be her cousin about how each of them has garnered success by selling their art. Chad’s southern roots are still a source of inspiration, along with the joy of family.

Martin Luther King Quote: Martin Luther KingSpeech: I've Been to the MountaintopSong Title: Ain't No Stoppin' Us NowSong by: McFadden and WhiteheadKeyboard music: Gail NoblesPodcast vocals: Gail NoblesActor: Gail NoblesPhoto credit: By Source, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=28092659Hello Everyone! Today's song for topic is "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden and Whitehead. I remember hearing that song on an AM station. The only AM station I remember that played soul music the most was a station called Magic 1380. But I'm not sure if that's the station I first heard the song. But I want to say Magic 1380. Regardless of the noise and buzz and interference, sometimes AM stations played the best songs and sometimes they were quite clear. When I first heard the McFadden and Whitehead song, the radio disc jockey would play what I called a long version of the song. As he played the song, I heard a Martin Luther King speech.(singing and music) .... I heard the song something like that, and I wish I could have played part of the real Martin Luther King's speech. "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" is a 1979 disco song. The song spent a week at number one on the R&B singles chart. The single also made it to number 10 on the disco charts. It eventually went double platinum selling over 2 million copies. "Ain't No Stoppin Us Now" is about succeeding despite having faced previous disadvantages (so many things that held us down). It was widely interpreted to be about the experience of the African American community and after attaining popularity, became referred to as the new black national anthem (the original being the 1900 song "Lift Every Voice and Sing") When I heard "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now", I don't remember a lot of black radio stations. I remember hearing a lot of soul oldies from AM at the time that I heard the song. And I remember McFadden and Whitehead on the radio very clearly because their song was often played.I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Radio History on the Cat Bear.

Is the US Now at War With Iran? (0:30)Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, Brigham Young UniversityIs the US now at war with Iran? President Donald Trump says the purpose of killing Iran's top military commander three days ago in a drone strike was the opposite: “We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.”Iran has vowed revenge. Critics of President Trump say the strike was illegal and that his threat to bomb Iranian cultural sites would be a war crime. Iraq's parliament wants all American troops to leave.  America's Health in 2020 (21:25)Guest: Sandro Galea, MD, Dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, Author of “Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health”Opioid overdose, suicide, measles, vaping and gun violence were all major public health concerns that dominated headlines in 2019. What will be the biggest challenges facing public health in America in 2020?  Artificially-Intelligent Systems Should Be Free of Bias, But They Aren't (36:25)Guest: Elisa Celis, Assistant Professor of Statistics and Data Science, Yale UniversityArtificial intelligence decides the ads you see, news you read, jobs you get considered for, and in some cases, whether or not you'll go to jail. Ideally, an artificially intelligent recommendation system is less biased than human decision-makers. Except that it's not. And in a lot of cases, these systems are making some forms of discrimination even more entrenched in the real world. You're Probably a Federal Criminal and Don't Know It (50:07)Guest: Michael Chase, JD, Author of “How to Become a Federal Criminal: An Illustrated Handbook for the Aspiring Offender.” So you think you're generally a law-abiding citizen? Well . . . if you've ever put a note without a stamp in your neighbor's mailbox, clogged a toilet at a National Park, mutilated a dollar bill or moved a picnic table on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management, you are a federal criminal. Criminal defense lawyer Mike Chase has made a hobby of documenting the strange laws on America's books. He posts them daily on Twitter under the handle @CrimeADay and he's got a new book called, “How to Become a Federal Criminal: An Illustrated Handbook for the Aspiring Offender.” Web, Mobile Devices and Virtual Reality Are Rescripting Our Brains (1:08:33)Guest: Heidi Boisvert, PhD, CEO and Creative Director of the futurePerfect lab, Assistant Professor of Emerging Media Technologies at New York City University of TechnologyWatching TV, playing video games, surfing the web . . . all of it is re-scripting the nervous system, mostly in bad ways. But media researcher Heidi Boisvert is trying to harness that power for good though, so it could be a form of digital medicine. Reddit is the Preferred Advice and Support Spot for Millennial Dads (1:22:57)Guest: Tawfiq Ammari, PhD Candidate, School of Information, University of MichiganBoomer parents had Dr. Spock's “Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care” to guide them. Millennial moms and dads are more likely to turn to social media, where they can crowdsource solutions to their parenting problems. “What is this?” a mom might post with a picture of her baby's rash on Facebook. Or a new father might anonymously post on Reddit about his struggle to empathize with his wife's postpartum depression.

Kendra I was going on today good morning good morning how you doing I am doing well how are you doing this more well than what I am on the day number four of the fasting mimicking diet how about you I am also on day four the fasting mimicking diet made by prolonged made by prolonged so I want do a shout out to Dr. Joseph onto the CEO prolonged and Dr. Walter Longo who wrote the longevity diet they sent us some prolonged kits and were given a shot the fasting mimicking diet they are it is the fasting mimicking diet so I am comparing it to a previous experience of doing a water fast it's very interesting and this is far more tolerable quite honestly and just this morning I did check key tone levels I was it 2.2.1 date date three you're supposed to start doing it so by as this day goes on you probably start kicking up a whole lot more yeah so I found that to be beneficial it's only falling in line with what you want I did comparing this to a water fast at this point I was big meal for being in three nap days I feel like I was really ready to start eating the by day four that was enough for me I did dad it four full days of the water fast but with Pro line I feel actually feel really really good it's not too bad it is nice the way they can portion out every days meals what were going to be eating so my wife's doing with this also the only hard part was it earlier this early this week I had to cook dinner for the boys because they still gotta eat and family had some nice juicy steaks to sit there and you can have any of it I couldn't do anything with it was not the box about yourself how was yours will I'm you I'm doing well this is my fourth five day fast I guess is a little over year trying to do them every few months I first want to prolong which is not a big deal all second one I did kind of my own little fasting and keep mimicking style I didn't have that what I'm in a call that burst of energy right or possibly it was stimulation of stem cells listed in that in a few minutes here and then I did a water fast only my ketones went through the roof but I was quite miserable sore back to the prolonged given this a shot and we'll talk about that in the second but I mention the stem cells today's guest while this is going to be if you know anybody to have autoimmune disease if you know anybody that has back pain anybody has joint pain to an end because we have a stem cell expert Dr. Wade McKenna orthopedic surgeon skies a bad ass in this field and we were sitting there talking just outside I'm like holy cow I'm just considering take notes like we brought in a professor of stem cells may ease size pretty amazing how he actually played football at Oklahoma State went to med school I perform indices with him several years ago whenever he was still heavily just as he is today doing orthopedics he's a fantastic surgeon all of this is led to somebody's actually can remind me you he never wants to stop learning and so it's it's led to areas where he is today and he is I would say quite the expert with stem cells and where the future is going with them so this is so exciting that we have to time to fast for this episode because you know people throw around the word stem cell a whole lot and much like the CBD industry people throw around there's lots of misinformation there's lots of quality differences the people that are actually giving stem cells there's lots of differences with that so we could clarify all of it I really feel like there's some parallels you and I have brought in several CBD experts right and there's some parallels here and so you know this is a super exciting for that anything going on with the family anything going on socially well this last week whenever Morreale moved into preparing to do this fast I would say that the boys have the have enjoyed teasing us and other than that they've they thought back into all season basketball quite busy and is kind of the every day as usual at the round Renner household self typical tennis weekend both the Lucas and Karla were playing tennis and they both did really well it was kind of a little curb although I'm really proud of my team because as working to be launching the D hat health box Dr. Lisa Alvarez actually did a little commercial for she did so yeah and so do I get a chance to pop into the set see it the move honestly try to see what that happens I appreciate her taking her time to do that so another chemical thing I just go phone with Dr. Chang Ron Houston yeah great guy fantastic functional medicine doctor he actually has ties with prolonged him and him and Joseph were friends okay to be having a huge conference coming up on April 27 were he to talk about brain got issues where you have them on the show because he's got some incredible stuff on brain waves and its affect pre-and post trauma and its effect pre-and post-diet change and using hemp dry products so super cool I just have a phone with him so to get a chance go to his Facebook page a lot of really cool information so awesome I think the work on the move and all these unique directions right but what's the big deal stenciled what we want to talk about I think that it's it's the newest new frontier it's no different than the way we've been spending time talking about CBD why why just a few years ago the revelation that you had into polyphenols and how I could do these are it's a lot of what nature is giving us to work with and it's kind of amazing that it's it's all coming to fruition nowadays and you hit on it a little bit earlier I know that the Dr. McCann is going to address it as well the FDA it many times when we want this government entity to be on our side in helping us out can really be stymieing a lot of the progress that many of the citizens could be enjoying that they could be taken party to have a better quality of life and in a really odd yet when you get down to money reason you find out that the FDA is is hard to budge out of the way in in terms of progress so interesting because what he was talking about is exactly what I've been doing so in in all fields of medicine it's very hard to change the direction of this large Titanic like shipper people doing things and we have either many ways as he said as he described it to skin a cat or really none of them really working very well sure and then when you find something it's hard to get people to pay attention to much like trying to write I mean when we sit there when we came in without her until we know that mojo and 5.0 guys are talking there really trying to tell everybody about the bloating effects with it but we know that our trenches made up of polyphenols and we know those polyphenols are really good for you they actually are the antiaging and anti-inflammatory molecules in the Mediterranean diet so we need to expand that message a little bit more rhino people hey you can take these polyphenols which are in trying to and they can actually do some of the things Duncan that stem cells do and we can talk about this in some science but if you're curious about that if you looking at upfront Hills or any place that you go where they should go to love my tummy.com Ford/spoony that's love my tummy.com/spoony and then use the code spinning Sabal cash while you pick up your own polyphenols to be delivered right to your home and then keep listen to this because you do realize that these there's lots of overlap chain runs you to be doing a brain gut thing where he shows that you need to protect your gut I'll try to help with that we got Wade McKenna here talked about stem cells the body wants to rejuvenate itself you need to give it the things that can this is going to be so excited working a really geek out today I am the earliest I want to definitely I want to hang in there because what you learn is literally some of those cutting edge stuff you meant Dearborn stem cells person to make a circuit in the news and it's really odd the way the people began to report new science and health sometimes it can be this is the greatest thing ever or it can be a lot of scare tactics in our member the first time I heard about stem cells it was the unfortunate been taken from unborn babies etc. but that's not what's happening in all when you begin to get past that layer will guess what it's just like anything else you get past the first layer and then you find that there's a whole new world to discover and in terms of what Dr. McCann is going to talk about we have lawmakers here in the US to prohibit certain strip certain lines of stem cells being used but they are still incredibly beneficial and some of the culturing over the growth of those stem cells and do what the US would state would determine to be tissues they couldn't do it here they could do in Panama and oddly enough who found his work in Panama always couple lawmakers really kind of the good kind of weird and ironic that the same people there are part of that institution it doesn't allow us to do certain things will go out of the country to get that kind help is such a small world and its fate in whatever it is I think a lot of things that have happened in both our lives have been opportunities that we take advantage of and I love you and I were working one day and I was like dude did you see that Joe Rogan we had Mel Gibson on and some other guys some PhD knew it yeah I know those guys and I was like laughing because no Gibson said the same thing a lot of people think is like you think about stem cells you have a mouth going up the side of your face and now not at all as it turns out he took his dad down to Panama and his nonmaterial dad and he got better and that's what I was like whoa and you started saying to me this is a long time you're over your half your menu go to meet my buddy Wade because he's doing a lot of the same thing same parallel paths and since it is really scientific and is just trying to get people better that's it a year of your right on and just think about that so that being at least 18 months ago I believe that Mel's dad was started going down there maybe five years ago think of the advances in the tank and the technologies that have come along with stem cell research and send that's exactly why Wade Dr. Wei McCann is here to tell us a little bit more about where it's going how you going to measure what is authentic stem cell injection what is there the right protocol what you be looking for who are the imposters there's a there's a lot of information out there it's no different than learning about CBD and where to go get the right kind of CBD of its harvest of the Rahway producer away I just think it's it stinks I went to a doctor friend of mine Dr. Marlon Padilla and we are in his office and he just are talking about I'll check this out I'm now doing stem cell know the quote you have stencil expert on this week you go take a listen easier is it Hillcrest medical and University Park area… Having super great guy very innovative himself trying new things yeah and you he started do that like that small world some sort to pay attention to all these things so one of these lectures get caught up on everything that sewer pursuer at night to geek out a little bit so how I Titus altogether how to retire fasting together how to get stem cells and how we come full circle to discuss what's out there in the literature about what were passionate about also write well it's kind interesting because what were doing with that with that diet selection are trying to heal CBD fasting and learning that stem cells you find I think for all of our listeners as well as us this is all synergistic there's a reason why we're Gerber took the mail here with this kind of message so using our graduate student that always helps us out we've got some really cool articles kinds altogether, and with what I consider really geeky stuff I want you to hang in there for me okay so the first question is your on day four of the prolonged fast why the world even doing that well it has been shown that in cellular metabolism in July 2015 summarize whatever you and will fast it promotes stress resistance so basically when you're put on a fasting mimicking diet or I should back up we've always known that the caloric restriction diet has been shown in yeast and other animals to prolong life Walter Longo in his book figure out a way that you can eat a little bit and trick your body to believe that it is completely fast that's the fasting mimicking diet is so this study in 2015 looked at putting mice on the fasting limiting diet and they demonstrated that these mice decrease the size of multiple organs improved glucose control decreased visceral fat lower blood pressure improved bone mineral density rejuvenated the immune system and reduce cancer risk always too good to be true and Academy just five days three times a year and can accomplish this but wait there's more we got more here they also showed after they re-fed the mice solicit what this is the coolest thing about this when you listen to vaulter give lectures he said it's not so much the fast it's the recovery from the fast because when they re-fed him they showed that in older mice areas of the brain like the hippocampus showed neurogenesis and improved cognitive performance while yeah so it's pretty wild with the re-feeding that super important which makes it fun because on Monday for I'm really looking to some refuted yeah can't wait for some re-creating but any that's all part of the process I will say going through at my second fast that this is becomes easier it's it's not as hard as the first run of some that's with prolonged but it is the expectation is they are know what to expect I know struggle for so what would be contributing to better neural thinking that is you a question so the question is what's going on there so then we dug up an article in the Journal of stem cell research in 2016 what they showed is that fasting protects against immune system damage and induces regeneration by waking up stem cells or by catalyzing dormant stencils so all those what they realize is what this article describing is what vulture was figuring out right there what he had figured out that all comes down to stem cells at the refuting stage basically not with her not stenciled several times which is to find what is real quick stem cells are the body's raw material their pre-sells for all other cells stem cells are the only cells that can generate new cell types and they can divide into form what are called daughter cells which become specialized cells that eventually come specific organs that's all me to say about it because wage may come in here and blow our minds until us a whole lot more with what stem cells are so for my all intensive purposes on coming here knowing stem cells can become other cells – easier to tell us way more with that so basically after you fast and then you re-feed you flip a regenerative switch which promotes stem cell regeneration in the blood making organs so that the important thing so when you go into starvation mode the body will save energy and one ways to recycle immune cells and that causes autophagy so old and sick and dying cells are programmed to hate go away right and then the autophagy gets rid of the old site sells them when you re-feed the stem cells wake up and they go around there's a bunch of fallen soldiers they don't bother them but they go around and say we need new people to replace this over simplistic way to lead into a much cooler explanation of that and then with each cycle you re-feed you get rid of sick and dying cells and replace them is like a janitor it's exactly like a janitor so five day fast three times a year you just cannot quit you just doing some serious housecleaning I member Saturn panda when he talks about that that's the godfather of circadian rhythm fasting or intermittent fasting right he's got mouse models he still does a prolonged fast because he describes it as you brush your teeth every day and then you a couple times a year you going to get the deep cleaning from the dentist I like that analogy you're always doing maintenance which is you keep in the nine date of of what you're eating but every once while you get to do that deeply definitely and then trying to fast for the first time you you can look at you like why would I not want to eat but if you look at the history of time where people were in the movement nowadays to return to health where people are trying to get healthier and you look at things like Paleolithic's for instance they talk about new diets and ways to eat in a pale lifestyle some of that also includes fasting and the reason is the primal man also went a long time without having food and for a few days at a time they would have intermittent fasting org or a few days fasting themselves yeah and so basically you're just returning to what it is that we've all been programmed to do for a long time that it just so happens the last several generations we've had ubiquitous amount of food here in the US and so now we it'll thicker bigger let's okay so this is no doubt about it feet eating is awesome right but eating is an inflammatory process so when you eat your you to become inflamed a little bit and then you incorporate the nutrients and so will the way that were doing and how will we eat so much it's probably not the healthiest way so right now where the fast let's talk about was actually a lot going on with our bodies before talk about Howard to tie all this together two stencils. So day one this is basically the five defenses what's happened to you and I so day one just upon your body day to start doing some fat burning day three start doing some cellular recycling basically you're going to clean up start realizing were on day three now for backing cavemen times they one day to that's normal day three your body starts going up oh we better get ready for something because were you have to go out and get some food soon and that's when you start doing the cleanup and this is when a lot of people will reach ketosis day for you and I right now are in this this is the cell regeneration this is where autophagy started yesterday in autophagy is when those old sick and dying cells are programmed to go away much like we talked about with the polyphenols when they get in there in your list and causes my top a G5 in the foods we eat will do that then this starts artists are stem cell-based regeneration is starting to ramp up so when people talk about how I fascinated 24 hours 09 and identity a fast we've come this far when were this far into it tomorrow's what all the real magic happens all the magic day five regeneration continues now we've turned on our stem cells and the body is being rejuvenated from with it now the first time you and I did this did this are fast I think it was tonight will this happen to both of us we both slept what two hours yeah I even so every time that a fast so far I feel great whenever I go to bed and feel really rested but don't last night that of the of my fast I basically went to bed and then I thought I woke up again as a man what a great night sleep again and I looked over the clock I been asleep for two hours and 15 minutes and then I sat around the house like what am I going to do for the rest this morning about tired right now and then later I learned that was over Rex and it was being released telling me I always forget that all Rex and O Rex and so is released from hormone release my brain saying it's time for you to go and eat and I had in them and an abundant oriented interview time for you to get up have the energy to go kill the woolly mammoth so that you can eat and you can feel it a mere year manic and it was time and you saw me run when I quit the fast I mean I think of the time I my blood sugar was 54 and and and I felt fine with that and at key tones I think for 4.8 and the moment that we drew ride today the labs and that in the blood that one time it was it's time to eat yeah so both of us have ever similar expenses this is the third day that we done this so now let a geek out here for the last four minutes because this is where I think it comes in really cool and so we found an article that has a really long title and I just like I like saying it just because I realize that this is the kind of stuff I'm reading ditto for the show treatment of periodontal ligament stem cells with Emil Warren CBD promote cell survival and Ronald differentiation via the P 13 K a K TM tour pathway that would scare most people scared me off at first but our graduate student said this is a fantastic article hundred 11 so basically what this whole article shows is you can get stem cells from a few places Dr. McKenna will explain where bone marrow fat but one of the places periodontal ligament so these are known as mesenchymal stem cells meaning that they are the least differentiated cells and they can trying to become anything so one of the important things is quality of stem cells keep that in mind because we'll talk about that coming up quality stencils so one of the things about stem cells is that there are a lot of different qualities but once you get the stem sellout you have to keep the stencil healthy so you have to keep it alive and you have to keep it in the best environment possible so there's different mediums to do this this study looked at taking stem cells out in vitro meeting in a dish and they bathed them in CBD and more range in MO R which is a program to sign a day in which is a polyphenol which is the same stuff that upfront deals made of so they they bathed them in CBD and in a polyphenol blend amazing supercool they did it for $40 and what they showed is that they demonstrated longer survival less a pop ptosis or programmed cell death decrease the M tour pathway the M tour pathways the pathway that makes cells grow right so bodybuilders lots and tour pathway but guess what cancer enter pathway also so to growth pathway increased differentiation capacity meaning they can become more of something quicker they increase nesting and DDN after which neurogenesis or new nerves new brain tissue right and then it did a deep dive into the genes that these stem cells turned on that gets into the cool epigenetic stuff that we talked about before base will have these genes so they concluded that in the field of stem cell research it may be improved by bathing them in CBD and a polyphenol mix so if you not get injected anytime soon might not be a bad idea to start from the inside using some CBD and possibly some upfront it sounds to me like the research is probably on the on the cusp ears are going into that that's why they're bathing them in the point assignment in the CBD but it's weird that just three weeks ago when we had Mark on he was talking about his D differentiated contra sarcoma test stem cells that basically were released and they didn't know exactly where to go they begin to proliferate and he even said it could be found in an organ anywhere in your body even when you feel like you taken so it's critically important that your stem cells are differentiated they get to the place they're going to be and do what you need them to do you don't want them growing out of control so maybe possibly will find on the future that combining a polyphenol set with a plant a point of sanity and CBD along with stem cell therapy would be a protocol I be awesome to get people started here or should they go to get I would eagerly for you go to K BMT health.com and go to the store you can find both are trying to heal and the new KB MD CVD or you can always go to love my tummy.com/spooning and hearing about four minutes really joined by the Dr. Wayne McKenna so if you know anybody that has joint issues back issues knee issues and take it one step further autoimmune disease there's so many things that now look into the science of stem cells that is going to be supercool to geek out and this guy knows his stuff I am excited to have youth if you had any questions about stem cells is the witness of the main unit turn to Dr. Wade McCain is going to join us here we can take a break in about 10 seconds thing wrap up now just thank you guys for the prolonged high talk Elson if you are trying to quit drinking or doing

coming in today really appreciate absolutely so see what I do know him yeah you know whatever no word of her Rhonda Patrick goes on Joe Rogan's economy gets better paper out you'll be taking some notes I favor Gerardi, Patrick never feels more like absolutely just a caveman. Dr. she's a lot of knowledge of sausage yellow management so you since you do already went through a couple of small things in the last half-hour you played football look on the state you been orthopedic surgeon for several years but that's not really what you here to talk about today the cool part is I actually can you hear we good we are little my problem were going to get something fixed here real quick right area is going the cool part for me they spent is kind of been allowed to reinvent myself as a traditional surgeon when the science, caught up to what we do and figure out that a lot of what we would think of as traditional medical approaches were less than optimal from patients and point so exited a fellowship in trauma and post dramatic reconstruction after an orthopedic surgery residency and after a general surgery internship so in during a general surgery internship when I thought I was going to do transplant surgery because that was the coolest guys at the hospitalists on which Trina here in Dallas Fort Worth multiple hospitals with DFW medical service rendered him orthopedic residency I did my fellowship and trauma to the general I was Roy Sanders 2000 but hospital where as to trauma fellows panorama the program we had 10 residents in for helicopters and no sleep with a whole new episode on what lack of sleep will do to your stem cells well it lack of sleep and not healthiest UW not like lack of sleep induced by fasting where you feel like Superman lack of sleep induced of note falling asleep in the boat in the lounge chair waiting for the nurse to tapping the short essays time to go from zero to hero so but during the trauma fellowship we became very adept because we got stuck with a lot of the fractures that other people treated heel so the posttraumatic part of that is acutely we were stabilizing multiple extremity injuries but we also do those people over multiple extremity injuries and we would get referred a lot of the trauma patients the gentleman traumas what we called it which comes to visit you in clinic does it come to you in the middle night by helicopter gentlemen trauma that watching your clinic is like I get this knife stuck out as well hey I've had five surgeries on my femur fracture I still can't walk and still no bonus I have is soon healed and we had to find a way to not only promote tried to trick the body and the human something that already showed didn't want to heal but in the least invasive way possible to turn the table can help the patient generate new bone best way to do that early on was Boomer us were concentrate the very Baston first uses of bone roster concentrated in traditional surgery was in the treatment of nonunion when someone has a fracture that doesn't heal there is delayed union which is means takes forever that but there's nonunion wishes means it doesn't heal there's no bone if you have a leg doesn't have a hip fracture can't walk can't but wait on it given upper extremity with an unhealed fracture pretty much flail you can you have a non-nonfunctional extremity bone rest will concentrate in the treatment protocol this allowed us to be much less invasive instead of just it doesn't make a lot of sense to just take out all the other plates and stripped the blood supply room muscle replay fracture further destroying the blood supply to the fracture that already the numbness blood supply to heal so let's go ahead and revisit that really quick because as a surgeon it's interesting to dear somebody because that's typically that's a knee-jerk reaction all that last surged and worked when he operated as exactly so say one more time with re-operating guys will here's the problem with re-operating if you didn't heal the first time it's because of the formation of scar tissue not healed tissue so the healing gets stopped the fibrotic tissue begins scar tissue hurts scar tissue does not much blood supply and scar tissue is very functional it's fibrotic it it can take up some space for the most part the difference between the interface between healthy tissue and scar tissue continues to be painful forever every time you move something severe big fibrotic knot of scar with an attendant and you have some healthy tissue that generate the connects to it the mismatch in pliability that mismatch of you would never use metals that have different hardness when you put together an engine it is the soft metal in the hard metal caused threading and corrosion in significant problems and and metal mismatch soft tissue mismatches just as big a problem we create scar tissue and people hurts generates pain generates an inflammatory response or chronic inflammatory response from cytokines that without decent blood supply to scar tissue you want to get rid of so you end up with long-term and continued muscle that and a lot of our surgery approaches and a lot of surgery where you just strip off the blood supply to the bone that it needs to help heal don't work very well because were not focused on how the body needs to really heal this fracture were focused on making x-ray and I did just make you look nice so your I think it's fascinating because essentially I've done the same I've done the same thing in my practice rub to move from traditional gastroenterology become almost a functional orthopedist yeah I would like to think that that I I just come to the table with some of the extra tools that I need to kinda set the table for the patient to help them heal I the body has unique ability to overcome a lot of things and in our body actually wants to heal a lot of times I'm just try to help people get our own way the same way the gastro neurology diet you're trying to help people get their own way from being about health right with with orthopedics I have to help the body the body knows the triggers and mechanisms and has the entire growth factors to help your body heal as we get a little older as we have chronic injury you rely radiation cigarettes coffee alcohol late nights cortisol stress we impair our body's ability to respond appropriately to injuries what the stem cell does for you is that the cell that helps you respond injury the problem is is you get a little older you have less of them and they don't do as much as a used I would guess that a second I'm still I want to hear the history only here got half because you ended with during residency restarted down do bone marrow concentrate bone marrow aspirate concentrate for nonunion fracture not only fractions your worst people so you guys were willing to try some things other people work well we had the opportunity because these people had no other options so the best part about doing a trauma fellowship is we were there last Hope we were the the Island of misfit toys so to speak Ryland Mr. Toyo we will use the we stood especially around Christmas time when that movie comes out with Chris Pringle we we would literally collect the injured patients from all over South Florida South North Florida Alabama Georgia we were the only level I trauma center on the West Coast of Florida and so when people would fail multiple surgeries we they walk into the resident clinic and you had to come up with a way to solve the problem and a lot of times it was as easy as finding a way to put more stress on the fracture you did have some plate that was plated and distraction so last times was just taken some screws out sometimes it was loosening up a frame that was holding the fracture apart and then let the fracture heal we would compress the frame so that the P0 electric effect fractures need stress to generate bone so stress across bone generates electronegative charge calcium and phosphorus are positively charged the biomechanics of basic physiology which unfortunately is certain's only when were supposed to forget that but apparently we do is trained out of us is what I was told the residence when the witnesses don't let don't let basic science and in physiology be trained out of you it into a surgical approach but when you create electronegative chars from a compression fracture calcium goes in and she get some healing without blood supply there is the rule in an osteopathic physician so it's a deal medical school because our team Dr. local state was the and and did manipulated felt good and I want to know how to do that I didn't even notice a difference on your will to be an orthopedic surgeon I said can I be an orthopedic surgeon because the he said absolutely yes that's about how I made that decision Okemos they had a deal medical school oh use was MD the last thing the world I wanted was a red diploma so state fans of loyalty I got a mistake know you was an easy decision I do know what the deal was but one of the owners of the time give me a book called the difference of genomics and you trying to teach me about the school just decided to go to and they said that when it comes to healing that the rule of the artery is supreme rule of the rings have the right to rule the artery is supreme but lymphatics have veto power I never heard this so that was the it's it's the foundation of a T still creation illustrate your stupid mess was created by the write a few stills and indeed he started the first year medical school in Kansas but he did it because he was unhappy with traditional medical approaches mobilization the joint instead of letting it get all swollen up seem to make the patient's function will be better and execute the plan by creating with: Patty pump people would read out all the way to push down her chest and he let it would create open up the alveoli to get people over dramatic pulmonary effusions by crating the sink on the lymphatic pump widget side of my chylomicrons on the lung tissue will with what we are doing it literally goes back to the foundations of what created a lot of modern medical sciences that without blood spiders and healing and that's true for orthopedic fractures is true for muscles tendon injuries we first started doing Bomer go back to that point on the trauma surgeon we were real sure that if we put bone marrow into a tendon that would make that was her fear with that we thought when we took Bomer Asper concentrate were real careful to make sure we we kept it in the in the osseous chart of the animals yet or you got it in the mentor factor was that there some really good studies published a bummer go back to the mid-90s there is a there was there was actually a really great study but here's a little they knew about what we're doing in Israel 1520 years ago there was a study on product complex possible tibial fractures which is a disaster if you have a tibial plateau the base you need if it's a complex fracture more than one particle shot six rights of Shatzer's fracture if you have a Shatzer six we used to call foobar that was our classification so we we with the Shatzer six what they did in Israel is they treated half of them with bone browser concentrate and half of them which is plating without moments were concentrated but interestingly because it was so early they added PRP to the bone restaurant concentrate thinking that it made work better and really all it does is dilute down so PRP the machine I have developed our tears I called them on sale define what you okay so the machine that we work with the machine I've been working with for for quite a while and have actually helped hopefully without taking real credit for anything but but knowing that that a been a significant part of innovation the development of their kit I'm actually patented the bone Ross Britt Catherine Catherine comes like it is my my design PRP is when you take whole blood and spin it down the machine to concentrate the growth factors get rid of some of the white cells and so you create was called platelet rich plasma write an platelet rich plasma is generated from the centrifugation of whole blood into the growth factors and platelets there needed to help get rid of inflammatory change a lot of times getting rid of the inflammatory change is the way to start the healing cycle inflammation gets in the way you put out the fire before you can grow new graphs right and so with inflammatory change if you turn the inflammation off ligaments tissue tendons heal faster with Bomer Esper concentrate what was it really understood as well in the 90s early 2000 and it is now hopefully is that bone marrow is still 97% whole blood so when we spend down bone marrow you're getting platelet rich plasma so your you are actually doing PRP yeah but you're doing PRP with stem cells yet so bone respite concentrate has the stem cells needed to help you heal and we know that those stem cells is when went on to hold your but while I was in school there wasn't such a thing as a musical social musical stem cell was named the music will stem cell 1995 by Dr. Arnie Case Western and Arnie Kaplan named a cell that previously in medicine what we do is we name cells based on the characteristics right so before it was musical stem cell was in a plastic undifferentiated employee potential adherent so that I liked it way better back in that day. I call it Mrs. a couple of them so well and and I doubt that there's terms equals some so most commonly know what they're talking about right so there's a CD marker a surface cell marker verse 600 different types of the cells based on their surface marker so we talked about was equal stem cells people think there's like one time no there someone that we don't really need help you heal the sum of the week need crucially to help you heal and we know the difference between these based on their CD markers we've actually quantitated what cells we want was told we don't want found a way to concentrate the cells want we do the spends so with bone marrow you're getting platelet rich plasma but you're getting the best platelet rich plasma because you're spending it from the most immature blood when you spend on whole blood you're getting PRP we are getting them no stem cells alright so let's clarify because it's a definition is really that what you're saying is that saying just stem cells doesn't mean just themselves how stem cells we have these mesenchymal stem cells which is the earliest of the stencil correct you guys have markers where you can determine the type of one that you know which ones do you need what was preferentially help you grow Cartledge what was professorship tendon what was preferentially grow fat right so fat stem cells that if you make if you make fat graph or stem so graph from fat those cells grow fat really well yeah we know what they don't grow really well's cartilage because there's a peptide called Sox nine this are secreted by the frustum so so when we quantitate stem cells I'm not interested in what those cells could become a me to say right now is this my pet. If you get a stem cell lecture in the first slide they show is this one so become these five types of cells in the differentiation and the building of the cells become these five is what makes somatic that's completely wrong that's true in the lab that's not how it works in the body what happens in the body is your set your body season injury it secretes cells starting with the humor putting stem cell which is the CD34 right so thrive for all the one second I got a good message where it says I can get a little stressed out I feel like I'm producing the wrong stem cells because I putting on weight change my stem cells to get rid of the adipose tissue and so sent there just go I got lost that CD something or other yeah you are way more so than I thought I would be as a orthopedist at the document bone bent may make straight actually know the medical school the running joke at time UNIX was the hardest residency to get into W had to become stupid right away take the smartest guys we need only to talk about when I mean I mean it when I say don't unlearn medicine right you the orthopedic resident was the hardest residency get to but you are expected to never even look at an EKG again if you walked into the surgery patient and you're like looking at their head or their EKG the attendings walking to go one the how you do know that you talk about this is Eric little people to sleep we have a certain dog like no dying right thing will similarly used to put my patients asleep so you feel like Dr. McKenna the CD six and 07 mesenchymal cells ready there's a joke that was that he found an orthopedist and the radiologist near going opposite direction of the code blue running away from the seed that what we used to say you know if you want if you have a dollar and you want to hide from a surgeon or from any kind of position there different places you put it right 100 from radiologist to tape to patient if you want to hide it if you want to hide it from orthopedic surgeon you put it in a book if you want to hide up a plastic surgeon we can hundred dollars from plastics are you going at a rabbit hole there went out on CD34 what were your talk was initiation healing right so with the CD34 it secretes a peptide for PG to PGE2 is is one of those keys and starting new vessel growth will the way to grow hair the way to have ED go away way to have stress urinary incontinence go away the way to have your wrinkles go away the way to have your fracture healed way to have your tendon remote you had me at wrinkles ED hair okay so so now we start out treating nonunion fractures right what we figure out pretty quick that if you put Bomer Asper concentrate it was it wasn't and is a great study published it was a limb salvage patient in Japan where 15 surgeries big proximal defect it's possible to be a and the the general surgeon was was livid at the orthopedic surgeons want to to put bone restaurant concentrate a fracture because he was proving that there was no vascularity to the way so to back door the orthopedic surgeon the supposed case report that a vascular surgeon does this arteriogram a lower extremity and it shows that there's literally no collateral flow around the fracture site is kid basically has a limb salvage frame on his leg this big proximal defect two years out multiple fascia economies nonmusical leg mask were really high needs needs annotation orthopedic surgeon is busy all the stuff about Mercer concentrate wants to inject bone marrow before he takes frame off eventually as a surgeon you become kind of emotionally connected to to your work right the guy does not want to cut the slide off the vascular surgeon try to prove needs come off he does arteriogram family Stone will it cut off so they have bone marrow injected in the fracture site at eight weeks they redo the arteriogram because the orthopedic surgeon the arterial was ordered by him but you start to see new bone kids have less pain from weight on lag you get new bone formation but they have this arteriogram set out to the shows no blood flow so they redo the arteriogram and there's all this collateral circulation on the fracture site so basically forever listening arteriogram is a study were it actually shows the arteries they put Diana vessel and shows up on x-ray and there is no blood flow going below over the fracture risers no.the die stops and there's a little bitty pattern this will trickle that I injected something into the bone not into the are not in the artery into the Perry steel sleeve the covering of the bone with the with the board there was no bone produces big bony defect there but Bomer us for concentrating their the way the bone roster concentrate work it didn't become bone which is what we thought what it does is it secretes the peptides and proteins necessary to bring new blood flow which allowed the bone to heal now there's a certain paragraphs that out there shows no collateral flow say that saying again that blood flow the rule of the artery is supreme the arteries and she still give him credit for that from the 1800s rule the arteries supreme lymphatics have veto power and that's a Dr. Graham from local states manipulation class, add on that if everything so swollen of blood flow can't get to it okay yeah so you guys injected this is the first time you saw that Ballmer answer because this can be a great segue will be go to the next half hour more we really do jump into the stem cell we got a little will try and keep it as it at a level that we can help people because I get a lot of back to let me make sure I'm being asked questions like it doesn't help with back yes to the health of the components were next on but on the great papers published read everyone says oh

Who's behind Me but It But Literally We Been over 10,000 Cases in US Now so so Let Me Let Me Throw One out for You We Got a Message from Victoria That Says Can You Fix Bone on Bone Degenerative Discs so Here's the Short Answer in the You Know Me Enough Already by Now You Notice the In a Good Prospective Randomized Study of This Started with Just Pure P Because Again Bo Mastro Concentrate the Only Reason PRP Exists Is a Product Is Because We Couldn't Get Approval for Bone Marrow so We Were Spinning down Horseplay on the Equine Market You Could Sell PRP into People Pay More to Have Their Horse Injected My World Are Kid and That Horse Has Four Extremities and so Were Spinning on Whole Blood Created PRP While We're Waiting on the FDA to Approve Bone Marrow Whole Blood Is Exempt In Bone Marrow Was an and so Did Get the Validations on Bone Marrow and A Lot Of Pure P Was Created so There You Go so the Short Answer Is Enter Disco Injections Hemorrhoids Are Several Great Papers Are Republished and the Most Recent One at Two Years 92% of the Patients Had Inner Disco Injections on Degenerative Disc Disease And and I Would I Would Take It Even Step Farther and That in Our in Our Clinical Practice with over 300 Discs Now In That If You Have an Annular Tear Bring a Tear in the Covering of the Desk That Is a Primary Pain Generator It's a Bright Spot on the MRI Called Heisey Lesion Are High in Tinsel Science Is a Signal A Lot Of Radiologist Don't Now Failed to Mention That I Guess but If There's an Annular Tear High Intensity Signal within That within the Disc That Alone Is a Dramatic Pain Generator It Can Even Cause This Exact Same Symptoms As a Herniated Disc Would As Far As Lower Extremity Pain and Weakness Because the Nerve Crosses the Annular Tear in Your Tear Generate Substance P Generates the Cytokines Generates Exact Same Pain Response so Those Two Times of Radicular Pain Coming from the Back Leg and Hip Pain Radicular so That's the Old Folks Called Sciatica If It Can Be Pressure Because My Big Herniated Disc Neural Foraminal Stenosis Meeting the Canal Gets to Tie the Facets Your Baguette Hypertrophic Get Extra-Large They Were out so There's There's You Can Have Pressure Stenotic Pressure on Her Nerve Were Still Think It's Just Been Crushed That Causes Leg and Hip Pain and Back Pain Or You Can Have a Chemical Radiculopathy Created by a Tear in the Desk and It Feels the Same Patient until Difference One of Almost Everybody Else Is My Bulging Disc yet I Could Be There but but but Bulging to Start the Problem Because Here's What We Know Here's What's Already Published If Either MRIs and A Lot Of People Have No Back and Leg Pain A Lot Of Them Have Bulging This So How's It Happen How How Can Some People Smoking Just Hurts a Bit Was Bulging the Stone Right Now Is That If You Experience If You Have a Bulging Disc the Nonoperative Follow-Up At Two Years Is the Same As Opera Follow If You Don't Have Weakness If You Have Pain That You Can Tolerate and You Have Weakness in the Lower Extremity at Two Years Your Doom the Same As a People How Discectomy If You Don't Have Surgery What That's Published For Long Time so Were Not so If You Intrude a Free Fragment That Free Fragment Will Absorb Your Body Is Really Adept at Getting Rid of Items Extruded into the Canal and It Will Actually Absorb and and Get Rid of a Free Fragment As Long As Every Fragment Is Important so Much Pressure on the Nerve That It Decreases the Blood Supply from the Pressure Causes Weakness in the Lower Extremity from the Pressure the Nurse Stops Working You Have Leg Pain Your Little Foot Drop below Witnessing That Surgery You Have Weakness and You Start Paying What's Publish Now Is If We Inject That Disk the Annular Tear That Doesn't Go Away on Its Own Will Heal And Most of the Time 92% in a Study If the Annular Tear Heals The Back and Leg Pain Go Away 92 Persons 92% of the Playhouse That Had an Injection Didn't Go on to a Primary Fusion While Now Now Here's the Other Side of The Patients Had a Fusion at Five Years 30% of Them Had Two Surgeries So If You Have Fusion at One Level 30% Time of the Next Five Years Your Risk of

Welcome to the first mix in a series dedicated to The Philly Soul Sound introduced to the world by the Legendary Music Icons: Gamble & Huff. Curated by the one and only @blakfire40 (Dorian "Dino" Green) and mixed by yours truly. This was one tough mix being that most of these tracks are not quantized, but it was worth the struggle. Over the years we searched for outside of the ordinary re-edits and remixes from elite producers and djs such as Tom Moulton, Joey Negro, John Morales, Dimitri From Paris, and most recently from France: The Reflex. More goodness to come as my man Dino is always searching for the tunes that represent his hometown of Philadelphia. Feel free to spread the goodness, and as always: Good Music Lives. Peace.

Prior to the Schrems decision by the European Court of Justice, US based law firms could rely on Safe Harbor to use and analyze information from investigations conducted in Europe. However the Schrems decision and subsequent EU privacy rulings and regulations have brought the entire issue around internal investigations into question. In a podcast interview with UK solicitor and data privacy expert Jonathan Armstrong about the decision, Armstrong noted that the decision puts real roadblocks in the path of a US company that could be investigating potential anti-corruption allegations in the UK or EU member country. The biggest issue would be around personal privacy and information. Unlike the US, work emails are covered by the privacy rights afforded to individuals and are not the property of the company. The same is true of other information. Under the Schrems decision, the ability of a US corporation to access that information and then take it back to the US under the safe harbor provision is no longer available.  I asked Armstrong how a company might be able to move forward and internally investigate potential FCPA violations. Armstrong suggested that that the only way at this point was to obtain the consent of the person being investigated. However the obtaining of such consent raises a host of other problems. He said, “Can I really get consent in an internal investigation? Can I go along, speak to my Austrian agent and say, “Peter, I just need you to sign this form to transfer your data to the US”? Now, for consent to be valid the European legislation it has to be fully explained, it has to be honest, it can't be deceptive. I’ve got to say to him, “I want you to sign this form because I want to investigate you. I want to run a full FCPA investigation; you’re the prime suspect. I want to take a look at your emails and I have to inform you that by the way, you have the right not to consent and if you don’t consent there’s no way I can investigate you. Could you sign the form, please?”” As Armstrong went on to note, “What answer is he likely to give in an internal investigation and how would the US authorities feel if I go and tip off the main suspect that he’s under investigation?”  With these two key components of any best practices compliance program, hotlines and internal investigations, seemingly now unavailable to CCOs or compliance practitioners for EU sourced information; I believe there will be additional pressure put on the compliance function. Obviously any US company with EU based operations will have to take steps immediately to ring fence such data originating in Europe. It may also mean that any inquiries will need to be headed by locally based compliance practitioners.   Moreover, if you couple this ruling in the Schrems decision with the Yates Memo, you immediately see the issue involved for any company which is seeking cooperation credit because such company is required to turn over any and all information to the Department of Justice (DOJ) as soon as possible. But now, even if companies can still develop facts and data through internal investigations, in the manner suggested by Pirrotta in using local law firms, you might not be able to get the information back to the US to use. Worse yet, is the option laid out by Armstrong to obtain consent from an investigation target? Not only do I find it very improbable that anyone, European or otherwise, would give such a consent but in the unlikely event such consent is given, you have told the target, they are the target and other data sources might well begin to disappear. Armstrong put it starkly when he said, “you’re going to get no sympathy from the bribery prosecutors, bribery regulators if you mess this up. The SFO [Serious Fraud Office] have already lost the case, allegedly, on the way in which the US firm involved conducted the investigation. They will have, rightly I think, no sympathy at all for people whose investigations are themselves conducted unlawfully. It’s going to need a lot of careful thought to structure data transfers, even to structure interviews. How do you move those interview notes about, how do you look at emails, all of this stuff is going to be absolutely critical not only so that you don’t break data privacy data protection laws, but also tipping off witness, you know, interfering with the scene of an investigation, et cetera, et cetera. All of these things are critical.”  How does the Schrems decision contribute to compliance at the tipping point? If you can use two of the key components in a best practices compliance program; based upon the DOJ/Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Ten Hallmarks of an Effective Compliance Program or another standard; it will put significant pressure on other parts of the program. A compliance program will have to be structured more rigorously to prevent FCPA violations through the use of internal controls and transaction monitoring tools. CCOs and compliance practitioners will also have to be more involved and have more visibility into the entire lifecycle of transactions so they can determine how to begin to move from even prevention to proscription of any FCPA violations.  Just as the compliance world changed with the announcement of the Yates Memo, the DOJ Compliance Counsel and the VW emissions-testing scandal; the Schrems decision will change the need for a more robust compliance program going forward to help protect a company.  Three Key Takeaways The Schrems decision significantly impacted US based internal investigations. Study the privacy laws of the country where you are performing your investigation. Informed consent is difficult to obtain but it may be critical for your investigation.         Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Psalm 73 What in the World is Going On? So Often Good People Suffer and Bad People Prosper! Take This To Heart The Now Does (and Cannot) Make Sense Apart From the Not Yet Those Who Have Trusted in the Crucified/Risen Savior for Eternal Life Should Reject an Earthbound Perspective and Deal with the Distressing Realities around Us Now in Light of the Certain, Eternal Realities We Have in our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Treasures of the New Covenant Do you realize as Christians just how wealthy you are? How rich you are? That's my goal today, that you would as a believer in Christ, that you would go away having a sense of great wealth of treasure of riches specifically in the New Covenant, today. So often, the blessings of the Gospel are portrayed as hidden treasure. You think about Jesus in his parable saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy, went off and sold everything he had and bought that field." So, I wonder what it's like after that to open up the treasure and really rummage through it and find out just what you have now. Now that you sold everything, to get it just how valuable, how precious are the treasures inside that box, that treasure box. Or another place in Colossians, it says that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and so you get the same idea of opening Christ up and finding out how much wisdom and knowledge, how much rich blessing there is in Jesus. And the meditation that comes in Christ. In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Or in Proverbs Chapter 2, we're told the search for wisdom and insight as for silver, and hidden treasure. And so I had the picture this morning of a family being called to the reading of the last will and testament of a wealthy relative and perhaps the grief over the loss of the relative has gone, but now there's time of the reading of the will. And how excited, you would be if you knew that this aunt or uncle or grandparent, was really quite wealthy and you might wonder, perhaps in a very carnal, sense, "What's in it for me? What am I getting etcetera?" Well, I think that this may be a reading of the last will and testament of Jesus Christ. We are looking at what Jesus has bequeathed on us by His blood, what he paid for in blood for us to have. That's what we're looking at today. The elements of the New Covenant, which were not there in the Old Covenant. The night before Jesus died, after the supper, he took the cup in his hands and he gave thanks, and he said, "Drink from it all of you. This is the my blood of the Covenant, which is given for many for the forgiveness of sins." The blood of the New Covenant is the blood of Jesus and this New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant. We've seen that as a uniting theme in the book of Hebrews. The superiority of Jesus Christ in every way to all of the elements of the Old Covenant, and Jesus is superior in every way and recently we've been contemplating the superiority of Jesus Christ as our great high priest. But now we have a transition to the second main aspect of the book of Hebrews, the superior covenant that He comes to bring. So, a superior mediator, brings a superior covenant, resulting in a superior life. That's my general three point outline for the whole book of Hebrews. And so we have a transition going on now, and we're going to focus now on the specific elements of this New Covenant that Jesus came to bring. That He died to give us. And so we have in Hebrews 8:6, a transition. We've been looking at the elements of the Old Covenant priesthood and how the Levitical priest did this and that and this tabernacle that was just a shadow and a copy of the Heavenly one and all that. And then in Verse 6 it says, "But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the Covenant of which He is mediator is superior to the old one." And listen to this, "it is founded on better promises." And today we have the privilege of studying in detail what those promises are. We get to understand the superior promises of the New Covenant. I. The Need for a New Covenant (vs. 7) Now I begin this passage by talking about the need for a New Covenant, the need for the New Covenant. Look at Verse 7, it says, "If there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant no place would have been sought for another." So there is established here in Verse 7 the need for a New Covenant. Now this is something we've already seen in Hebrew 7. We've already been through it as we contemplated the change of the priesthood. And so in Hebrews 7:12, we saw where there is a change of the priesthood there must be a change of the law. You've got to have a new law. Jesus is our great high priest, but he was of the tribe of Judah, and concerning that tribe nothing was ever said of the priesthood in the Old Covenant, in the old law. And so, if Jesus is going to serve as our great high priest, we must have a change of the law. So we've already looked at all that. And so the author is going to argue that now in the same way we must have a New Covenant. He makes a parallel argument. The way it works is we have an Old Testament prophecy or prediction of the establishment of a new ministry. And then he reasons from that saying that the existing ministry was insufficient. It was inadequate or else there wouldn't be any need for a new one. We've already seen this with Psalm 110 and Verse 4, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." The promise given. And then he reasons from that saying, "Look, if the Levitical priesthood were sufficient that promise wouldn't have been made, but it was inadequate. It was insufficient. And so we need to have a new priesthood, one in the order of Melchizedek." Well he's going to do the same thing here. It's the same kind of logic. We have a prediction we have a prophecy, Jeremiah 31:31-34. The prediction is of a New Covenant, and he's going to argue in the same way. If there'd been nothing wrong with that, first covenant, why would we be seeking a new one? And so just the existence in the Old Testament of these promises says something new and something better. Something more glorious must come. And so now we're looking at exactly what that is. The Inadequacies of the First Covenant Now, he says that there's something wrong with that first covenant. If there'd been nothing wrong with it, no place would have been sought for another. So there's something wrong. There's something to some degree blame worthy with that first covenant. Now, we have to be careful here. We know that the author has already said concerning that first covenant, "the former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless." Those are very strong terms being made here, but that first covenant was weak and useless in achieving for the people of God the final end of salvation. That we should be made holy and blameless in God's sight. That we sinners should be made perfect in the sight of a Holy God. The first covenant couldn't do it. It was ineffectual. It was weak and ineffective for accomplishing that, and so a better covenant had to come. We should not imagine that God tried to establish the covenant, it didn't work, it kept not working, and so he went to from the prototype to the final version. Just like companies put out a product and they do a narrow market run for a while and then they find out some flaws with it and they perfect it and they improve it and then, the better product is released nationally. Well that's not what's going on here at all. There's nothing wrong in one sense with the first covenant. Everything God does is perfect. Frankly, it achieved exactly what God wanted it to achieve, which is to expose the flaws of human nature. And so he actually goes in verse 8 saying that the problem was with the people, not with the covenant for "God found fault with the people." And so it's very, very plain. As Paul puts it in Romans Chapter 7, "The law is holy and righteous and good." Or in in Romans 7:14, "We know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual. I am sold as a slave to sin." There's nothing wrong with the law, there's something wrong with me. And that's what's being established here by this covenant. Again, we have the same thing in Romans 8:3, "For what the law was powerless to do, in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering." The law was weakened by our flesh. So that's where the flaw lies. And so, there must be a New Covenant. The need for the New Covenant is clearly established in Verse 7. II. The Promise of a New Covenant (vs. 8-9) Now, here we have in verses 8-9, the actual promise of a New Covenant. We have the words of Jeremiah here. You see the sovereignty of God, God is going to establish this New Covenant. He makes this clear prediction here, "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant and I turned away from them. Declares the Lord." So the sovereignty of God is the absolute focus here. Now, when we speak of the covenant here, what do we mean by a covenant? A covenant is simply an agreement, a binding agreement, between two or more parties. That's all it is. Just a binding agreement. And God has significantly acted throughout history with covenants. God has made binding agreements between Himself and His creation, His created ones. And so we're talking about the establishment of a New Covenant. Now, which covenant is he talking about here that has to be replaced? Now in the Old Testament and the Old Testament readings there are a number of significant covenants. For example, in the time of Noah, a covenant was made. God made a covenant with Noah, and with every living thing on earth that He would never again inundate, or flood, the world with water. Destroy the world by flood as He had done. He also makes a covenant with Abraham saying through Abraham's, seed, all peoples on Earth will be blessed and he makes a covenant with David, saying that He would raise up one of David's sons to sit on His throne forever. Well, these are three very significant covenants, but that's not the Old Covenant that the author is talking about here. The Old Covenant that the author has in mind here is the covenant made during the time of the Exodus under Moses, the Mosaic Covenant. The covenant made with Israel at Sinai. It's very clear because he said, "It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt." That's the covenant that is now superseded. That's the covenant that was weak and useless for saving us in the end. That was the covenant that is now obsolete, the Mosaic Covenant. On that day, you remember God assembled all of the people at Mount Sinai, and how God descended in a cloud and fire and the top of the mountain, and how the ground beneath their feet shook. How it trembled and how God spoke the words of the 10 Commandments to the people, and the people actually heard the voice of the living God speaking to them out of fire and they were all of them, including Moses absolutely terrified. And how the people trembled. The essence of this covenant was the moral law of God written in tablets of stone external to the people. They could study them, inscribed in tablets of stone, coupled with the animal sacrificial system. The Levitical priesthood with the tabernacle, and the animal sacrifices and so the Old Covenant and said, "This is God's moral standard. Do this and you will live." And if there was any sin there was this symbolic or shadowy atonement set up. This is the Old Covenant, the essence of the Old Covenant. Problem was with the people and the history of the peoples forsaking of that covenant, hinted at here in the prediction by Jeremiah. How God carried out or related all of their history. "They did not remain faithful to my covenant." That's a summary statement of centuries of rebellion and the part of the people of God. A tragic turning away. The people turned away from that Mosaic Covenant. They would not keep it. Despite the fact that they trembled, the ground shook under their feet. Despite the fact that they had heard the voice of God speaking in their own ears and lived. And they heard God say, "I am the Lord, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Despite all of that, while Moses was still up on the mountain receiving the rest of God's words, Aaron the first high priest, led them into grave sin as they made a golden calf. He said, "Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." And they bowed down and they worshiped. And it led them into a riot is orgy and great wickedness. And from that very beginning, once they entered into the Promised Land, they soon prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples that lived in that land before them. And they made idols and they bowed down and worshipped. Bowed down to and worshipped what their hands had made. And God sent them warnings, again and again he sent them prophets to warn them. He sent them gentile armies who would come and plunder them. Again and again, God warned them, but they would not listen. And the darkest moment of all of that history of rebellion, I think came in Jeremiah's Day. God raised up Jeremiah, sent Him as a prophet of doom. Really the quintessential prophet of doom. And he went and stood at the gates of the temple, and he proclaimed the doom of Jerusalem as Babylon was coming. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar were coming and Jeremiah day after day after day, warned them that wrath was coming on them because of their sins. And he was universally hated by the people there and persecuted. They would not listen. And they sought to kill him, but they could not. Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, one who is there when Jerusalem was finally destroyed by the Babylonians. The temple completely destroyed and Jeremiah, I imagine him sitting on the hillside, looking down over the smoldering ruins of what used to be the daughter of Zion, the city of Jerusalem. This weeping prophet saying, "How desolate lies the city once so full of people." Jeremiah had I think the hardest ministry in the Old Testament era. Very, very difficult ministry, but in the middle of that dark, dark hour, he speaks this promise to Jeremiah, the promise of a New Covenant that is going to come and fix the very root of the problem. And that is the hearts of the people. And so he gives Jeremiah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, this incredible prophecy, and it's brought over word for word here into Hebrews 8, this is the longest New Testament quotation of an Old Testament passage in the Bible. The longest one, and it's actually repeated again in Hebrews 10, so it's incredibly vital that we study this and we understand this. And God said, "It would not be like that first covenant I made." And why is that? "'Because they did not remain faithful to my covenant and I turned away from them,' declares the Lord." How dreadful are those words? How God turned away from them. He turned His back on them. He would not listen to their cries as they were being slaughtered by their enemies. God was bringing that slaughter on them as a punishment for their sins. God had turned away from them, declares the Lord. But know he's going to establish a New Covenant that would be unlike it. And how would it be different? The Difference of the New Covenant I tell you it is the era, it is the New Covenant in the blood of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. That's the essence of the New Covenant. The blood of Jesus paid for it and the Holy Spirit administers that blood to us individually. It is the encounter that each believer from the least of us to the greatest has with God through the Holy Spirit. That's the difference. That is how this covenant is not like the first one. Now, with whom is this covenant made? Well he says... He talks about in Verse 8, The House of Israel and the House of Judah, and then again in Verse 10, the House of Israel again, So he's using language of Jeremiah's day, speaking of God's people, the descendants of Abraham, the sons and daughters of Abraham. But we have learned in the New Testament, that God through Jesus has abolished in His flesh the law with its commandments and regulations and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility between Jew and gentile, we who are at one point, aliens and strangers, we gentiles who are on the outside are now welcomed in through faith in Jesus. And we have now become sons and daughters of Abraham by faith. Abraham's our father in faith. And we stand under the blessings of this covenant. We are through faith in Jesus, the House of Israel and the House of Judah, and so were the Jews who repent and believe in Jesus as well. Anyone who believes in Jesus is the house of Israel and the House of Judah. That's who he's making this new covenant with. Oh, how rich you are, gentile believers in Jesus. We were at one point, aliens and strangers. We were foreigners to the covenants of the promise, but now we have been brought in through the blood of Jesus. And that's who He makes this covenant with and it's universal, Verse 11, "They will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." That's this table setting. Now, let's get into the riches. Let's try to understand the superior elements of the New Covenant. Things we never had in the old covenant, and there are three. This is the center of the sermon. This is, to me, the most exciting part of the Book of Hebrews. What do we get in the new covenant? First, you get a transformed nature from inside your heart. You get a transformed nature. Secondly, you get in an eternal intimate relationship with Almighty God. Third, you get complete forgiveness of sins, actual forgiveness of sins. That's what the New Covenant gives you. And let me tell you something, if through faith in Jesus, you have those three things, you don't need anything else in order to be happy in life. Whatever it is that you don't have that's causing you misery. Set it aside today and say, if I have these three things I am a wealthy son or daughter of the living God. Conversely if you don't have these three things, and by the way, they go together, you don't get one or two of the three, you get all three together. So if I don't have those three things, it doesn't matter how wealthy I am, it doesn't matter what my power or my position doesn't matter how healthier I am, it doesn't matter any of the earthly blessings I am destitute. I am poverty-stricken if I don't have a transformed, heart that loves the law of God and an intimate relationship with God, where he is my God and I am part of his people and my sins, my wickedness is forgiven, and all of my transgressions. If I don't have that, then I have nothing. And so those are the elements of the New Covenant. III. The Superior Elements of the New Covenant 1) God’s Laws Implanted in Hearts Let's look at it in detail. First God's laws, implanted in our hearts verse 10, I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them on their hearts. This is again the work of the Holy Spirit of God as the apostle Paul put it, not on tablets of stone, but in hearts written by the living God and so God takes his laws, and he writes them on your own heart. It's a transformation of the nature from within. Tablets of stone, could not transform hearts of stone. But the Holy Spirit can and so in the new covenant, the Holy Spirit has come and he has transformed our hearts, he has written God's laws in our mind, and worked them into our hearts. Now, how do I understand that, the mind, I think, has to do with understanding. God enables us through the spirit to understand God's laws, to understand what God means by these laws. To understand the Word of God and its richness and fullness to have full understanding, to have the mind of Christ and to see God's ways. But then that God writes His laws on our heart means that we delight in those laws we yearn for them to be fulfilled, not just in our lives, but in the lives of all of our brothers and sisters and in the world generally and so we understand and we yearn for the laws of God. That's the promise of the New Covenant that's a transformed nature. And you may say, what laws are we referring to here? Well, I don't think we can do any better than Jesus Christ summary of the law when he says the first and greatest commandment is this: To love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. That's what the Holy Spirit takes and writes into your heart and your mind. That's what he does and that's everything, that's all that you need. A transformed nature. Apostle Paul said in Romans 13, whatever commandments there may be, you shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, you shall not covet whatever other commandment there may be are summed up in this one law. Love your neighbor as yourself. And so these are the laws that the Holy Spirit writes inside our hearts. How powerful is that. It's very much like the promise that God made through Ezekiel in Ezekiel 36:26 and 27, "I will give you a new heart and I'll put a new spirit within you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and I will give you a heart of flesh." Listen to this, "I will put my Spirit in you and I will move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." That's the exact same thing that's what the Lord is promising us here in the New Covenant the Old Covenant did not do this, it just stood on the outside and saying this is the law do this and you will live and then it condemned you, if you didn't do it. But this new covenant transforms you from within, it will not be like the first covenant I made with them at that time, because they didn't keep. But this is the covenant. "I will put my laws in your minds and I will write them on your hearts" as the Apostle Paul says the end result of that in Romans 8:4, "in order that the righteous requirements of the law. It might be fully met in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit." It is by the Spirit that we fulfill these laws of God that he's written in our hearts. 2) Intimate Knowledge of God Secondly, intimate knowledge of God in a covenant relationship, an intimate covenant relationship with God. I will be their God, he says in verse 10, "I will be their God and they will be my people. No longer will a man turned to his neighbor, teaches neighbor or a man his brothers, saying, Know the Lord because they will all know me. From the least of them to the greatest." This is promising an intimacy with God, a perfect intimate relationship with God. Now, again, I said that The Old Covenant, testified to these things again and again. But couldn't produce them. How many times in the Old Testament, you see God saying this, I will be their God and they will be my people. It's the yearning of God. Frankly, it's what you were created for, you were created for fellowship with Almighty God. You were created for a perfect intimate relationship with God. The Old Covenant couldn't produce it, it just testified to it. You were made for God, you were made to stand before God and for God to look at you and say you are one of my people and for you to say to him, "You are my God." The intimate relationship, which only Jesus could produce that is what the New Covenant gives us. I will be their God and they will be my people, and it speaks of knowledge. No longer will a man teach his neighbor or man, his brother saying Know the Lord. Because the essence of this knowledge is eternal life, this is what eternal life is. Jesus Christ said in John 17:3, "Now, this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God in Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." The perfect intimate knowledge, like if I can say in a holy way and when Adam knew Eve and she conceived and gave birth to her son. You see, there's an intimate connection there and there are two beautiful pictures of this intimate relationship. One is of a father with adopted children adopted sons and daughters and so God puts the spirit of adoption in us crying Abba, Father, and we are his children, his sons and daughters. The other beautiful pictures of Christ, the bridegroom and we, the bride and a consummation of that together in that great wedding banquet and we are His and He is ours, these intimate relationship terms that the Lord has given and they're promised, here in the new covenant, the new covenant, can produce it. It's the joy of the new covenant, you will have, you do have in the new covenant, an eternal and intimate relationship with Almighty God, think about the whole bent and direction of the Apostle Paul's life. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees, he was of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, He was a persecutor of the church, he was all of these things until something happened. And you know what happened? He saw Jesus in His resurrection glory and he never got over it and never wanted to get over it. And he earned he burned inside his heart to see it again, and all he could say in Philippians 3:7-11he said, But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Take all of those words and you ask Paul, Paul, what do you want more than anything he said, "I want to know Christ. Said the drive of my life to know Jesus, to be with him forever. That's the second blessing of the New Covenant. 3) Actual Forgiveness of Sins The third blessing is actual forgiveness of sins only testify to in the old covenant, but not actually produced. You know why, because the blood of bulls and goats can never take away human sin. Hebrews 10:4 cannot do it. The Tabernacle was just a shadow it was just a type, it was just a prophecy. The reality is Christ, and so by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross. We have full forgiveness of sins, he says in verse 12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more." This only comes to us through the new covenant. It's the only way it comes and without it, none of the other blessings are possible, God will not give us the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit nor will he be our God and we his people if we are filthy rebellious sinners and so therefore, he must deal with our sin. Now the NIV says, "I will forgive." I think a better translation might be something like, "I will be merciful to..." That's literally what it says. "I will be merciful to their wickedness and will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more…" and so God shows us mercy. What does I mean, he alleviates the suffering of our wickedness and what is the suffering of our wickedness. Well, there's suffering here on earth that comes from sin, we suffer in wickedness and He is merciful to us, but the greatest mercy is that we don't go to hell, He lifts us out of the fires of hell. Which we deserve for our wickedness and our transgressions and He says this will not happen to you and He is merciful to us and does not give us the justice that we deserve but rather he poured it out on his own Son. He shows us mercy. I will be merciful and notice what he says their wickedness and their sins. Wickedness is the root, and sins are the fruit. You see, and so we have a wicked nature that produces actual transgressions of God's law, and he says, I'm going to deal with that. I'm going to give you a new nature, and I will be merciful to you in your wickedness and I will transform you and I will not hold it against you, your wickedness and I will forget your sins. I will remember them no more. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Micah 7:19, says that he takes our inequities, and rolls them into the depths of the sea. He forgives our wickedness, and remember our sins no more, now don't misunderstand that God's still omniscient. I guess you knew that. Oh, he could tell you all the details of all the sins of all the elect, that are up there in heaven. He knows it all, he has all the information. How can God not remember our sin? What is he saying when he says, "I'll remember your sins no more"? What he's saying is it will not come between us, I'll not bring it up to separate us again we are reconciled. It is as though you had never done it, you're not at any relational disadvantage. I delight in you, as much as if you had been as pure as my son Jesus because I actually see you that way. In that way, he will not bring up our sins to separate us. These are the blessings of the New Covenant, friends, is that not enough to make you happy? A transformed inner nature in which God's laws are written in your mind and your heart. An intimate perfect and eternal relationship with God in which he claims you as His own people. I will be your people and you'll be my God and actual real forgiveness of sins. Our wickedness and sin is not held against us. IV. Therefore, The Old Covenant is Obsolete These are the blessings that Jesus wrote in blood and died for and because of that, friends the first Covenant is obsolete, amen. It's gone. It's obsolete we don't need it anymore. It's finished. Look at Verse 13 "by calling this covenant new, He has made the first one, obsolete." That is a strong word, we already saw it earlier in Hebrew seven weak and useless was said of it. Here the word is obsolete. You know what that means? I used my imagination here, at the moment that Jesus said it is finished, and died. And the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. At that very moment the priests in the temple could have stopped what every animal sacrifice as they were doing washed their hands and walked out, shut the door and never come back again. And God would have seen that as an act of faith and righteousness on their part. It's finished, it's done. We don't need it anymore. And you know who I think saw it, Stephen, saw it said that the Most High doesn't live in temples built by human hands. He's done with this place. It's no special place, unless there's some Christians, here that'll pray. Alright, it's done, it's finished. And you know what it says here this was incendiary, to the people, so they dragged Steven in front of the Sanhedrin, but some of the priests believed and became obedient to the faith. Read it in Acts 6:7. What does that mean? I think they stopped doing animal sacrifice. I said I'm done, I quit. It's obsolete, we don't need this anymore. The second part of the statement of verse 13, it says, "what is obsolete and aging will" what? "Soon disappear." You know what that tells me it tells me that the temple and all the sacrifice was still running like a machine. When the author wrote this letter. It was still going on and you know what he's saying he said just you wait just watch, it's coming. It's soon going to disappear from the pages of history, you will not see it anymore. When did that happen? AD 70, when the Romans came and destroyed the temple, and it has never been rebuilt. And animal sacrifice was shut down by the providence of God. He said This is finished, it's obsolete, it's gone. When my son said it is finished when I tore the curtain top to bottom, I told you it's done. Now I'm telling you, by the Roman army, it's done. What is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. V. New Covenant is Already and Not Yet Fulfilled in Us Now this new covenant, we have it already. If you're a believer in Jesus you're already in the new covenant. It's already fulfilled in you but it's not yet fulfilled in you by that I mean, it's not perfected. So already, God's laws are implanted in your minds and they are written in your hearts, but that doesn't mean you love God's word, like you should. It doesn't mean that there's not another law at work in the members of your body, waging war against the law of your mind which delights in the word of God and making you a prisoner of the law of sin at work within your members, Romans 7, that's still going on, that warfare. Yes, we are adopted children of the living God. But that doesn't mean we value that adoption like we should. It doesn't mean we fully understand what it means that we can cry out, by the spirit Abba father. It doesn't mean that we have come into the fullness of the perfection of that relationship. We see through a glass what darkly, then we'll see face-to-face, we don't fully know God. You need to come and listen to the ministry of a pastor teacher. Now, the text says "no longer will you need a man to teach your neighbor and a man his brothers, saying, 'Know the Lord.'" But now, God's given gifts of the Spirit to help interpret passages the Bible. Because we see through a glass darkly, now, then we will see face-to-face. And so the perfection of this knowledge of God yet, waits for us to see him face-to-face. And yes, it's true, all of our sins are forgiven absolutely. You can't be more forgiven that you are if you're justified. And yet we still sin, our conscience still testifies against us that we've sinned even this very day, we defile our conscience every day, the world the flesh and the devil assault us we still are mucking around in it, we still have to go and with brokenness and grieving morning and whaling get down on our knees, and ask God to forgive us for sins, all of that is still there and God does in the New Covenant keep for giving us. Oh, for the day when we're done with that. And so there is an already aspect and then there's a not yet aspect, of each of these three. And so in heaven, you will be totally transformed and you will love God's law, as much as Jesus does. How is that for you? You're going to be so totally transformed you will love righteousness and hate wickedness. As much as Jesus does and that's the end of your transformation and our intimate knowledge of God will be perfect in heaven listen to these passages from Revelation. Revelation 21:3, "I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, now the dwelling of God is with men and He will live with them, and they will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God." What's the emphasis of the word now? Now at last, the fulfillment of this has come. And then again in Revelation 22:3-4, "the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him, and they will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads." That's the perfection of this promise of the New Covenant but it's the same covenant that's going to get you there friends. And finally your sins and lawless acts will be gone forever, you won't commit anymore. You'll have committed your last sin. You will be holy and blameless and pure as light, when you're in heaven. VI. Applications What application can we take from this first? I just speak to you if you have never trusted in Christ, by the providence of God, you are invited to come here, and you know that you're on the outside, you're not under this covenant. I invite you now, as though God Himself were making His appeal come into the blessings of this governance let God transform your heart from inside, so you understand the gospel for the first time, you see in Jesus and His bloodshed everything you need for your forgiveness, trust in Christ, and you'll walk out of your rich man or woman, boy, or girl, trust in Christ. Secondly if you've already trusted in Christ, can I just ask you to take each of these three elements up in your mind and meditate on them, and thank God for each one and do it until you stop being a sad or miserable and negative as you've been this week, some of you. Some of you have celebrated this week and you've been filled with the joy of the Lord, but if I could just urge you to take up these three elements and use them to drive away the darkness that Satan wants to put over your hearts, it is no part of a child of God. Tell Him Be gone, because I'm a rich man, I'm a rich woman, I'm a son, I'm a daughter of the living God. Look how rich I am, I have a transformed nature, I love God's Word, and I yearn to fulfill it in my life every day by the Spirit and I have God is my father, and I am part of his people, I'm an adopted member of his family and my sins are forgiven. You can't accuse me they're forgiven, it is God who justifies, who is he that condemns I'm forgiven. Do that until you're happy and then do it some more and then make a brother or sister happy with these same three things. These are the blessings of the new covenant, and if I could urge you to meditate on the cost of these blesses the blood of Jesus. May it forever shut our mouths against boasting. Forbid it Lord that I should boast except in the blood of Christ my God. Jesus shed his blood to buy you these three things. They were costly and he's bought them for you. Honor Him for the blood he shed for you and if I could urge you to improve on these new covenant blessings through sanctification. Alright, you already have God's laws in your minds written in our hearts, then study God's word more than you ever have before. Say I have the ability, the capacity to understand all of God's word. I want to study it more than I ever have before, by the power of the Spirit. And secondly, I want to pray more like a son or daughter of the living God, than ever before. I want to say Abba father by the Spirit more than ever before, I want to lean on that adopted relationship and know and cherish it more than I ever have before and I want to live like my father. The Father is holy. Since I am calling on a father who is holy, I also need to be holy Peter tells us, I want to be like my father, I want to be holy, I want to put all sin to death, and so yes, all of my sins are forgiven, but I don't want to sin anymore. I hate my sin, and I want it gone, I want to fight it more than I ever had before. And finally just if we're this forgiven. So we also ought to forgive one another; husbands and wise forgive each other; parents, children forgive one another church members, forgive let's love each other as God has loved us. Close with me in prayer.

The Treasures of the New Covenant Do you realize as Christians just how wealthy you are? How rich you are? That's my goal today, that you would as a believer in Christ, that you would go away having a sense of great wealth of treasure of riches specifically in the New Covenant, today. So often, the blessings of the Gospel are portrayed as hidden treasure. You think about Jesus in his parable saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy, went off and sold everything he had and bought that field." So, I wonder what it's like after that to open up the treasure and really rummage through it and find out just what you have now. Now that you sold everything, to get it just how valuable, how precious are the treasures inside that box, that treasure box. Or another place in Colossians, it says that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and so you get the same idea of opening Christ up and finding out how much wisdom and knowledge, how much rich blessing there is in Jesus. And the meditation that comes in Christ. In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Or in Proverbs Chapter 2, we're told the search for wisdom and insight as for silver, and hidden treasure. And so I had the picture this morning of a family being called to the reading of the last will and testament of a wealthy relative and perhaps the grief over the loss of the relative has gone, but now there's time of the reading of the will. And how excited, you would be if you knew that this aunt or uncle or grandparent, was really quite wealthy and you might wonder, perhaps in a very carnal, sense, "What's in it for me? What am I getting etcetera?" Well, I think that this may be a reading of the last will and testament of Jesus Christ. We are looking at what Jesus has bequeathed on us by His blood, what he paid for in blood for us to have. That's what we're looking at today. The elements of the New Covenant, which were not there in the Old Covenant. The night before Jesus died, after the supper, he took the cup in his hands and he gave thanks, and he said, "Drink from it all of you. This is the my blood of the Covenant, which is given for many for the forgiveness of sins." The blood of the New Covenant is the blood of Jesus and this New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant. We've seen that as a uniting theme in the book of Hebrews. The superiority of Jesus Christ in every way to all of the elements of the Old Covenant, and Jesus is superior in every way and recently we've been contemplating the superiority of Jesus Christ as our great high priest. But now we have a transition to the second main aspect of the book of Hebrews, the superior covenant that He comes to bring. So, a superior mediator, brings a superior covenant, resulting in a superior life. That's my general three point outline for the whole book of Hebrews. And so we have a transition going on now, and we're going to focus now on the specific elements of this New Covenant that Jesus came to bring. That He died to give us. And so we have in Hebrews 8:6, a transition. We've been looking at the elements of the Old Covenant priesthood and how the Levitical priest did this and that and this tabernacle that was just a shadow and a copy of the Heavenly one and all that. And then in Verse 6 it says, "But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the Covenant of which He is mediator is superior to the old one." And listen to this, "it is founded on better promises." And today we have the privilege of studying in detail what those promises are. We get to understand the superior promises of the New Covenant. I. The Need for a New Covenant (vs. 7) Now I begin this passage by talking about the need for a New Covenant, the need for the New Covenant. Look at Verse 7, it says, "If there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant no place would have been sought for another." So there is established here in Verse 7 the need for a New Covenant. Now this is something we've already seen in Hebrew 7. We've already been through it as we contemplated the change of the priesthood. And so in Hebrews 7:12, we saw where there is a change of the priesthood there must be a change of the law. You've got to have a new law. Jesus is our great high priest, but he was of the tribe of Benjamin, and concerning that tribe nothing was ever said of the priesthood in the Old Covenant, in the old law. And so, if Jesus is going to serve as our great high priest, we must have a change of the law. So we've already looked at all that. And so the author is going to argue that now in the same way we must have a New Covenant. He makes a parallel argument. The way it works is we have an Old Testament prophecy or prediction of the establishment of a new ministry. And then he reasons from that saying that the existing ministry was insufficient. It was inadequate or else there wouldn't be any need for a new one. We've already seen this with Psalm 110 and Verse 4, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." The promise given. And then he reasons from that saying, "Look, if the Levitical priesthood were sufficient that promise wouldn't have been made, but it was inadequate. It was insufficient. And so we need to have a new priesthood, one in the order of Melchizedek." Well he's going to do the same thing here. It's the same kind of logic. We have a prediction we have a prophecy, Jeremiah 31:31-34. The prediction is of a New Covenant, and he's going to argue in the same way. If there'd been nothing wrong with that, first covenant, why would we be seeking a new one? And so just the existence in the Old Testament of these promises says something new and something better. Something more glorious must come. And so now we're looking at exactly what that is. The Inadequacies of the First Covenant Now, he says that there's something wrong with that first covenant. If there'd been nothing wrong with it, no place would have been sought for another. So there's something wrong. There's something to some degree blame worthy with that first covenant. Now, we have to be careful here. We know that the author has already said concerning that first covenant, "the former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless." Those are very strong terms being made here, but that first covenant was weak and useless in achieving for the people of God the final end of salvation. That we should be made holy and blameless in God's sight. That we sinners should be made perfect in the sight of a Holy God. The first covenant couldn't do it. It was ineffectual. It was weak and ineffective for accomplishing that, and so a better covenant had to come. We should not imagine that God tried to establish the covenant, it didn't work, it kept not working, and so he went to from the prototype to the final version. Just like companies put out a product and they do a narrow market run for a while and then they find out some flaws with it and they perfect it and they improve it and then, the better product is released nationally. Well that's not what's going on here at all. There's nothing wrong in one sense with the first covenant. Everything God does is perfect. Frankly, it achieved exactly what God wanted it to achieve, which is to expose the flaws of human nature. And so he actually goes in verse 8 saying that the problem was with the people, not with the covenant for "God found fault with the people." And so it's very, very plain. As Paul puts it in Romans Chapter 7, "The law is holy and righteous and good." Or in in Romans 7:14, "We know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual. I am sold as a slave to sin." There's nothing wrong with the law, there's something wrong with me. And that's what's being established here by this covenant. Again, we have the same thing in Romans 8:3, "For what the law was powerless to do, in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering." The law was weakened by our flesh. So that's where the flaw lies. And so, there must be a New Covenant. The need for the New Covenant is clearly established in Verse 7. II. The Promise of a New Covenant (vs. 8-9) Now, here we have in verses 8-9, the actual promise of a New Covenant. We have the words of Jeremiah here. You see the sovereignty of God, God is going to establish this New Covenant. He makes this clear prediction here, "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant and I turned away from them. Declares the Lord." So the sovereignty of God is the absolute focus here. Now, when we speak of the covenant here, what do we mean by a covenant? A covenant is simply an agreement, a binding agreement, between two or more parties. That's all it is. Just a binding agreement. And God has significantly acted throughout history with covenants. God has made binding agreements between Himself and His creation, His created ones. And so we're talking about the establishment of a New Covenant. Now, which covenant is he talking about here that has to be replaced? Now in the Old Testament and the Old Testament readings there are a number of significant covenants. For example, in the time of Noah, a covenant was made. God made a covenant with Noah, and with every living thing on earth that He would never again inundate, or flood, the world with water. Destroy the world by flood as He had done. He also makes a covenant with Abraham saying through Abraham's, seed, all peoples on Earth will be blessed and he makes a covenant with David, saying that He would raise up one of David's sons to sit on His throne forever. Well, these are three very significant covenants, but that's not the Old Covenant that the author is talking about here. The Old Covenant that the author has in mind here is the covenant made during the time of the Exodus under Moses, the Mosaic Covenant. The covenant made with Israel at Sinai. It's very clear because he said, "It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt." That's the covenant that is now superseded. That's the covenant that was weak and useless for saving us in the end. That was the covenant that is now obsolete, the Mosaic Covenant. On that day, you remember God assembled all of the people at Mount Sinai, and how God descended in a cloud and fire and the top of the mountain, and how the ground beneath their feet shook. How it trembled and how God spoke the words of the 10 Commandments to the people, and the people actually heard the voice of the living God speaking to them out of fire and they were all of them, including Moses absolutely terrified. And how the people trembled. The essence of this covenant was the moral law of God written in tablets of stone external to the people. They could study them, inscribed in tablets of stone, coupled with the animal sacrificial system. The Levitical priesthood with the tabernacle, and the animal sacrifices and so the Old Covenant and said, "This is God's moral standard. Do this and you will live." And if there was any sin there was this symbolic or shadowy atonement set up. This is the Old Covenant, the essence of the Old Covenant. Problem was with the people and the history of the peoples forsaking of that covenant, hinted at here in the prediction by Jeremiah. How God carried out or related all of their history. "They did not remain faithful to my covenant." That's a summary statement of centuries of rebellion and the part of the people of God. A tragic turning away. The people turned away from that Mosaic Covenant. They would not keep it. Despite the fact that they trembled, the ground shook under their feet. Despite the fact that they had heard the voice of God speaking in their own ears and lived. And they heard God say, "I am the Lord, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Despite all of that, while Moses was still up on the mountain receiving the rest of God's words, Aaron the first high priest, led them into grave sin as they made a golden calf. He said, "Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." And they bowed down and they worshiped. And it led them into a riot is orgy and great wickedness. And from that very beginning, once they entered into the Promised Land, they soon prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples that lived in that land before them. And they made idols and they bowed down and worshipped. Bowed down to and worshipped what their hands had made. And God sent them warnings, again and again he sent them prophets to warn them. He sent them gentile armies who would come and plunder them. Again and again, God warned them, but they would not listen. And the darkest moment of all of that history of rebellion, I think came in Jeremiah's Day. God raised up Jeremiah, sent Him as a prophet of doom. Really the quintessential prophet of doom. And he went and stood at the gates of the temple, and he proclaimed the doom of Jerusalem as Babylon was coming. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar were coming and Jeremiah day after day after day, warned them that wrath was coming on them because of their sins. And he was universally hated by the people there and persecuted. They would not listen. And they sought to kill him, but they could not. Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, one who is there when Jerusalem was finally destroyed by the Babylonians. The temple completely destroyed and Jeremiah, I imagine him sitting on the hillside, looking down over the smoldering ruins of what used to be the daughter of Zion, the city of Jerusalem. This weeping prophet saying, "How desolate lies the city once so full of people." Jeremiah had I think the hardest ministry in the Old Testament era. Very, very difficult ministry, but in the middle of that dark, dark hour, he speaks this promise to Jeremiah, the promise of a New Covenant that is going to come and fix the very root of the problem. And that is the hearts of the people. And so he gives Jeremiah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, this incredible prophecy, and it's brought over word for word here into Hebrews 8, this is the longest New Testament quotation of an Old Testament passage in the Bible. The longest one, and it's actually repeated again in Hebrews 10, so it's incredibly vital that we study this and we understand this. And God said, "It would not be like that first covenant I made." And why is that? "'Because they did not remain faithful to my covenant and I turned away from them,' declares the Lord." How dreadful are those words? How God turned away from them. He turned His back on them. He would not listen to their cries as they were being slaughtered by their enemies. God was bringing that slaughter on them as a punishment for their sins. God had turned away from them, declares the Lord. But know he's going to establish a New Covenant that would be unlike it. And how would it be different? The Difference of the New Covenant I tell you it is the era, it is the New Covenant in the blood of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. That's the essence of the New Covenant. The blood of Jesus paid for it and the Holy Spirit administers that blood to us individually. It is the encounter that each believer from the least of us to the greatest has with God through the Holy Spirit. That's the difference. That is how this covenant is not like the first one. Now, with whom is this covenant made? Well he says... He talks about in Verse 8, The House of Israel and the House of Judah, and then again in Verse 10, the House of Israel again, So he's using language of Jeremiah's day, speaking of God's people, the descendants of Abraham, the sons and daughters of Abraham. But we have learned in the New Testament, that God through Jesus has abolished in His flesh the law with its commandments and regulations and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility between Jew and gentile, we who are at one point, aliens and strangers, we gentiles who are on the outside are now welcomed in through faith in Jesus. And we have now become sons and daughters of Abraham by faith. Abraham's our father in faith. And we stand under the blessings of this covenant. We are through faith in Jesus, the House of Israel and the House of Judah, and so were the Jews who repent and believe in Jesus as well. Anyone who believes in Jesus is the house of Israel and the House of Judah. That's who he's making this new covenant with. Oh, how rich you are, gentile believers in Jesus. We were at one point, aliens and strangers. We were foreigners to the covenants of the promise, but now we have been brought in through the blood of Jesus. And that's who He makes this covenant with and it's universal, Verse 11, "They will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." That's this table setting. Now, let's get into the riches. Let's try to understand the superior elements of the New Covenant. Things we never had in the old covenant, and there are three. This is the center of the sermon. This is, to me, the most exciting part of the Book of Hebrews. What do we get in the new covenant? First, you get a transformed nature from inside your heart. You get a transformed nature. Secondly, you get in an eternal intimate relationship with Almighty God. Third, you get complete forgiveness of sins, actual forgiveness of sins. That's what the New Covenant gives you. And let me tell you something, if through faith in Jesus, you have those three things, you don't need anything else in order to be happy in life. Whatever it is that you don't have that's causing you misery. Set it aside today and say, if I have these three things I am a wealthy son or daughter of the living God. Conversely if you don't have these three things, and by the way, they go together, you don't get one or two of the three, you get all three together. So if I don't have those three things, it doesn't matter how wealthy I am, it doesn't matter what my power or my position doesn't matter how healthier I am, it doesn't matter any of the earthly blessings I am destitute. I am poverty-stricken if I don't have a transformed, heart that loves the law of God and an intimate relationship with God, where he is my God and I am part of his people and my sins, my wickedness is forgiven, and all of my transgressions. If I don't have that, then I have nothing. And so those are the elements of the New Covenant. III. The Superior Elements of the New Covenant 1) God’s Laws Implanted in Hearts Let's look at it in detail. First God's laws, implanted in our hearts verse 10, I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them on their hearts. This is again the work of the Holy Spirit of God as the apostle Paul put it, not on tablets of stone, but in hearts written by the living God and so God takes his laws, and he writes them on your own heart. It's a transformation of the nature from within. Tablets of stone, could not transform hearts of stone. But the Holy Spirit can and so in the new covenant, the Holy Spirit has come and he has transformed our hearts, he has written God's laws in our mind, and worked them into our hearts. Now, how do I understand that, the mind, I think, has to do with understanding. God enables us through the spirit to understand God's laws, to understand what God means by these laws. To understand the Word of God and its richness and fullness to have full understanding, to have the mind of Christ and to see God's ways. But then that God writes His laws on our heart means that we delight in those laws we yearn for them to be fulfilled, not just in our lives, but in the lives of all of our brothers and sisters and in the world generally and so we understand and we yearn for the laws of God. That's the promise of the New Covenant that's a transformed nature. And you may say, what laws are we referring to here? Well, I don't think we can do any better than Jesus Christ summary of the law when he says the first and greatest commandment is this: To love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. That's what the Holy Spirit takes and writes into your heart and your mind. That's what he does and that's everything, that's all that you need. A transformed nature. Apostle Paul said in Romans 13, whatever commandments there may be, you shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, you shall not covet whatever other commandment there may be are summed up in this one law. Love your neighbor as yourself. And so these are the laws that the Holy Spirit writes inside our hearts. How powerful is that. It's very much like the promise that God made through Ezekiel in Ezekiel 36:26 and 27, "I will give you a new heart and I'll put a new spirit within you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and I will give you a heart of flesh." Listen to this, "I will put my Spirit in you and I will move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." That's the exact same thing that's what the Lord is promising us here in the New Covenant the Old Covenant did not do this, it just stood on the outside and saying this is the law do this and you will live and then it condemned you, if you didn't do it. But this new covenant transforms you from within, it will not be like the first covenant I made with them at that time, because they didn't keep. But this is the covenant. "I will put my laws in your minds and I will write them on your hearts" as the Apostle Paul says the end result of that in Romans 8:4, "in order that the righteous requirements of the law. It might be fully met in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit." It is by the Spirit that we fulfill these laws of God that he's written in our hearts. 2) Intimate Knowledge of God Secondly, intimate knowledge of God in a covenant relationship, an intimate covenant relationship with God. I will be their God, he says in verse 10, "I will be their God and they will be my people. No longer will a man turned to his neighbor, teaches neighbor or a man his brothers, saying, Know the Lord because they will all know me. From the least of them to the greatest." This is promising an intimacy with God, a perfect intimate relationship with God. Now, again, I said that The Old Covenant, testified to these things again and again. But couldn't produce them. How many times in the Old Testament, you see God saying this, I will be their God and they will be my people. It's the yearning of God. Frankly, it's what you were created for, you were created for fellowship with Almighty God. You were created for a perfect intimate relationship with God. The Old Covenant couldn't produce it, it just testified to it. You were made for God, you were made to stand before God and for God to look at you and say you are one of my people and for you to say to him, "You are my God." The intimate relationship, which only Jesus could produce that is what the New Covenant gives us. I will be their God and they will be my people, and it speaks of knowledge. No longer will a man teach his neighbor or man, his brother saying Know the Lord. Because the essence of this knowledge is eternal life, this is what eternal life is. Jesus Christ said in John 17:3, "Now, this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God in Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." The perfect intimate knowledge, like if I can say in a holy way and when Adam knew Eve and she conceived and gave birth to her son. You see, there's an intimate connection there and there are two beautiful pictures of this intimate relationship. One is of a father with adopted children adopted sons and daughters and so God puts the spirit of adoption in us crying Abba, Father, and we are his children, his sons and daughters. The other beautiful pictures of Christ, the bridegroom and we, the bride and a consummation of that together in that great wedding banquet and we are His and He is ours, these intimate relationship terms that the Lord has given and they're promised, here in the new covenant, the new covenant, can produce it. It's the joy of the new covenant, you will have, you do have in the new covenant, an eternal and intimate relationship with Almighty God, think about the whole bent and direction of the Apostle Paul's life. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees, he was of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, He was a persecutor of the church, he was all of these things until something happened. And you know what happened? He saw Jesus in His resurrection glory and he never got over it and never wanted to get over it. And he earned he burned inside his heart to see it again, and all he could say in Philippians 3:7-11he said, But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Take all of those words and you ask Paul, Paul, what do you want more than anything he said, "I want to know Christ. Said the drive of my life to know Jesus, to be with him forever. That's the second blessing of the New Covenant. 3) Actual Forgiveness of Sins The third blessing is actual forgiveness of sins only testify to in the old covenant, but not actually produced. You know why, because the blood of bulls and goats can never take away human sin. Hebrews 10:4 cannot do it. The Tabernacle was just a shadow it was just a type, it was just a prophecy. The reality is Christ, and so by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross. We have full forgiveness of sins, he says in verse 12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more." This only comes to us through the new covenant. It's the only way it comes and without it, none of the other blessings are possible, God will not give us the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit nor will he be our God and we his people if we are filthy rebellious sinners and so therefore, he must deal with our sin. Now the NIV says, "I will forgive." I think a better translation might be something like, "I will be merciful to..." That's literally what it says. "I will be merciful to their wickedness and will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more…" and so God shows us mercy. What does I mean, he alleviates the suffering of our wickedness and what is the suffering of our wickedness. Well, there's suffering here on earth that comes from sin, we suffer in wickedness and He is merciful to us, but the greatest mercy is that we don't go to hell, He lifts us out of the fires of hell. Which we deserve for our wickedness and our transgressions and He says this will not happen to you and He is merciful to us and does not give us the justice that we deserve but rather he poured it out on his own Son. He shows us mercy. I will be merciful and notice what he says their wickedness and their sins. Wickedness is the root, and sins are the fruit. You see, and so we have a wicked nature that produces actual transgressions of God's law, and he says, I'm going to deal with that. I'm going to give you a new nature, and I will be merciful to you in your wickedness and I will transform you and I will not hold it against you, your wickedness and I will forget your sins. I will remember them no more. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Micah 7:19, says that he takes our inequities, and rolls them into the depths of the sea. He forgives our wickedness, and remember our sins no more, now don't misunderstand that God's still omniscient. I guess you knew that. Oh, he could tell you all the details of all the sins of all the elect, that are up there in heaven. He knows it all, he has all the information. How can God not remember our sin? What is he saying when he says, "I'll remember your sins no more"? What he's saying is it will not come between us, I'll not bring it up to separate us again we are reconciled. It is as though you had never done it, you're not at any relational disadvantage. I delight in you, as much as if you had been as pure as my son Jesus because I actually see you that way. In that way, he will not bring up our sins to separate us. These are the blessings of the New Covenant, friends, is that not enough to make you happy? A transformed inner nature in which God's laws are written in your mind and your heart. An intimate perfect and eternal relationship with God in which he claims you as His own people. I will be your people and you'll be my God and actual real forgiveness of sins. Our wickedness and sin is not held against us. IV. Therefore, The Old Covenant is Obsolete These are the blessings that Jesus wrote in blood and died for and because of that, friends the first Covenant is obsolete, amen. It's gone. It's obsolete we don't need it anymore. It's finished. Look at Verse 13 "by calling this covenant new, He has made the first one, obsolete." That is a strong word, we already saw it earlier in Hebrew seven weak and useless was said of it. Here the word is obsolete. You know what that means? I used my imagination here, at the moment that Jesus said it is finished, and died. And the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. At that very moment the priests in the temple could have stopped what every animal sacrifice as they were doing washed their hands and walked out, shut the door and never come back again. And God would have seen that as an act of faith and righteousness on their part. It's finished, it's done. We don't need it anymore. And you know who I think saw it, Stephen, saw it said that the Most High doesn't live in temples built by human hands. He's done with this place. It's no special place, unless there's some Christians, here that'll pray. Alright, it's done, it's finished. And you know what it says here this was incendiary, to the people, so they dragged Steven in front of the Sanhedrin, but some of the priests believed and became obedient to the faith. Read it in Acts 6:7. What does that mean? I think they stopped doing animal sacrifice. I said I'm done, I quit. It's obsolete, we don't need this anymore. The second part of the statement of verse 13, it says, "what is obsolete and aging will" what? "Soon disappear." You know what that tells me it tells me that the temple and all the sacrifice was still running like a machine. When the author wrote this letter. It was still going on and you know what he's saying he said just you wait just watch, it's coming. It's soon going to disappear from the pages of history, you will not see it anymore. When did that happen? AD 70, when the Romans came and destroyed the temple, and it has never been rebuilt. And animal sacrifice was shut down by the providence of God. He said This is finished, it's obsolete, it's gone. When my son said it is finished when I tore the curtain top to bottom, I told you it's done. Now I'm telling you, by the Roman army, it's done. What is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. V. New Covenant is Already and Not Yet Fulfilled in Us Now this new covenant, we have it already. If you're a believer in Jesus you're already in the new covenant. It's already fulfilled in you but it's not yet fulfilled in you by that I mean, it's not perfected. So already, God's laws are implanted in your minds and they are written in your hearts, but that doesn't mean you love God's word, like you should. It doesn't mean that there's not another law at work in the members of your body, waging war against the law of your mind which delights in the word of God and making you a prisoner of the law of sin at work within your members, Romans 7, that's still going on, that warfare. Yes, we are adopted children of the living God. But that doesn't mean we value that adoption like we should. It doesn't mean we fully understand what it means that we can cry out, by the spirit Abba father. It doesn't mean that we have come into the fullness of the perfection of that relationship. We see through a glass what darkly, then we'll see face-to-face, we don't fully know God. You need to come and listen to the ministry of a pastor teacher. Now, the text says "no longer will you need a man to teach your neighbor and a man his brothers, saying, 'Know the Lord.'" But now, God's given gifts of the Spirit to help interpret passages the Bible. Because we see through a glass darkly, now, then we will see face-to-face. And so the perfection of this knowledge of God yet, waits for us to see him face-to-face. And yes, it's true, all of our sins are forgiven absolutely. You can't be more forgiven that you are if you're justified. And yet we still sin, our conscience still testifies against us that we've sinned even this very day, we defile our conscience every day, the world the flesh and the devil assault us we still are mucking around in it, we still have to go and with brokenness and grieving morning and whaling get down on our knees, and ask God to forgive us for sins, all of that is still there and God does in the New Covenant keep for giving us. Oh, for the day when we're done with that. And so there is an already aspect and then there's a not yet aspect, of each of these three. And so in heaven, you will be totally transformed and you will love God's law, as much as Jesus does. How is that for you? You're going to be so totally transformed you will love righteousness and hate wickedness. As much as Jesus does and that's the end of your transformation and our intimate knowledge of God will be perfect in heaven listen to these passages from Revelation. Revelation 21:3, "I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, now the dwelling of God is with men and He will live with them, and they will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God." What's the emphasis of the word now? Now at last, the fulfillment of this has come. And then again in Revelation 22:3-4, "the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him, and they will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads." That's the perfection of this promise of the New Covenant but it's the same covenant that's going to get you there friends. And finally your sins and lawless acts will be gone forever, you won't commit anymore. You'll have committed your last sin. You will be holy and blameless and pure as light, when you're in heaven. VI. Applications What application can we take from this first? I just speak to you if you have never trusted in Christ, by the providence of God, you are invited to come here, and you know that you're on the outside, you're not under this covenant. I invite you now, as though God Himself were making His appeal come into the blessings of this governance let God transform your heart from inside, so you understand the gospel for the first time, you see in Jesus and His bloodshed everything you need for your forgiveness, trust in Christ, and you'll walk out of your rich man or woman, boy, or girl, trust in Christ. Secondly if you've already trusted in Christ, can I just ask you to take each of these three elements up in your mind and meditate on them, and thank God for each one and do it until you stop being a sad or miserable and negative as you've been this week, some of you. Some of you have celebrated this week and you've been filled with the joy of the Lord, but if I could just urge you to take up these three elements and use them to drive away the darkness that Satan wants to put over your hearts, it is no part of a child of God. Tell Him Be gone, because I'm a rich man, I'm a rich woman, I'm a son, I'm a daughter of the living God. Look how rich I am, I have a transformed nature, I love God's Word, and I yearn to fulfill it in my life every day by the Spirit and I have God is my father, and I am part of his people, I'm an adopted member of his family and my sins are forgiven. You can't accuse me they're forgiven, it is God who justifies, who is he that condemns I'm forgiven. Do that until you're happy and then do it some more and then make a brother or sister happy with these same three things. These are the blessings of the new covenant, and if I could urge you to meditate on the cost of these blesses the blood of Jesus. May it forever shut our mouths against boasting. Forbid it Lord that I should boast except in the blood of Christ my God. Jesus shed his blood to buy you these three things. They were costly and he's bought them for you. Honor Him for the blood he shed for you and if I could urge you to improve on these new covenant blessings through sanctification. Alright, you already have God's laws in your minds written in our hearts, then study God's word more than you ever have before. Say I have the ability, the capacity to understand all of God's word. I want to study it more than I ever have before, by the power of the Spirit. And secondly, I want to pray more like a son or daughter of the living God, than ever before. I want to say Abba father by the Spirit more than ever before, I want to lean on that adopted relationship and know and cherish it more than I ever have before and I want to live like my father. The Father is holy. Since I am calling on a father who is holy, I also need to be holy Peter tells us, I want to be like my father, I want to be holy, I want to put all sin to death, and so yes, all of my sins are forgiven, but I don't want to sin anymore. I hate my sin, and I want it gone, I want to fight it more than I ever had before. And finally just if we're this forgiven. So we also ought to forgive one another; husbands and wise forgive each other; parents, children forgive one another church members, forgive let's love each other as God has loved us. Close with me in prayer.
