Live from the Pathway Studios in Johnston proper. You are live from the path.

And you're listening to Live From The Past. We're coming from the Pathway Studios here in Johnston proper. I'm sorry. What? Awesome. Yeah. Wait. Wait. No. I'm excited to be here. That was the big intro. That's all that happens.

Alright. Hey. Hey. We got a great show. We have a fantastic show coming on tonight. First of all, light forty five is in the studio. Hey, fellas. Thanks for showing up. Hey. Good to meet Thanks, man. We really appreciate it. So so here's the deal is they they drove long distances to get here, like legit long distances to show up to this joint. Unlike Bubba, who just kind of wanders in Hey, man. I drove from West Des Moines. That's a bit of a trek. I that didn't count. Anyway, so I'm really excited to talk to these guys. We we missed them at Bash on the Farm. We'd intended to go to broadcast from Bash on the Farm, kind of line up an interview, and then just some technical stuff that didn't work out. And so we'd missed them, but they graciously agreed to to haul tail down here and perform some tunes for us. They got some information on they've shooting some music videos, recorded in Nashville, all kinds of cool stuff going on in their world. So we'll catch up with the light forty five fellas and see what they got going on. Also, Buva, did you did you say that you got invited to a Facebook revival? Yes. So in my my time on the Facebook roaming around, having having lots of fun, talking to people in social media and stuff, someone invited me to a revival

as an event that they put on their Facebook page. So someone went in and decided to and it literally just said church revival. There wasn't any fancy name. It was just church revival. Yep. And so the the the tagline basically was, come on out to the church. We're hoping to have a lot of different people, looking to see what the Holy Spirit's gonna do, a specific time and specific things that are gonna happen. And I immediately started laughing to myself. I didn't laugh at the person nor did I talk to them about it because I would have felt bad. But I laughed to myself and I really hope that the Holy Spirit is on in line with their Facebook event planning because I felt like that's more of a God deal of scheduling when that's gonna happen Right. Rather than

the pastor and or leadership staff of a church going, alright, Jesus, this is when it's gonna happen. Okay? Yeah. But It's Facebook official. I have it at 07:30 on Saturday. We're gonna need you to show up and and holy spirit style, like, just a lot of people. Yeah. But how does Jesus rent a tent to do his own? Like like, doesn't the church have to do the revival part? Because, like, he can't he don't have an ID. Yeah. I I feel like You can't rent a tent. Feel like the tent is not necessarily I'm sorry. The main part of the revival. That's not true. That's not true. Every time I've seen a revival, there's been a tent. Yeah. I think when you've seen someone put the word revival on a piece of paper and or a sign You kids always try

to do this. Right? You take a Did you say you kids? You kids always try to take a revival and make it different. You have to have a tent. Yeah. It's just it's part of the deal. Oh, okay. So you guys are the pro tent Facebook Have you read the catechism? It says, there's gotta be a tent involved. I have not. I apologize. And if you I did not realize that tent renting wasn't absolutely necessary for revival. And you have to park your bus as close to the highway as possible, so people know that you got there on a bus. Bus banner. And that you're a big deal. Oh, got it. Okay. Fair enough. And that you're throwing That makes more sense. I guess I was in the wrong thinking, because I was thinking, wow, isn't that a Jesus schedule kind of thing, not a, hey. No. But that's where you got it wrong. Yeah. You bring a tent, people revitalize it. Say, hey, Randy, I'm glad you wanted to happen at 07:30, but I think that's a holy spirit there. When the when the when the bible says that we are the hands and feet, it means we are the hands and feet that goes to rent a tent. I must have missed that. Was that in the Greek? Because I didn't I didn't get that part. Yeah. Think you know what the Greek is. Yeah.

I must have missed it. We also have some some dear life from the path coming out tonight. It's basically people are people are have questions about life. They can't figure stuff out and they they wrote in for some advice and hopefully, we'll we'll pull the light 45 guys and kinda toot around the room and see if we can find the best Christ centered answer to help them on their way. And then also, there was kind of a big deal if you sit somewhere in the in the evangelical camp that a a megachurch pastor had to step down this week. And I we don't really talk about that, but more as like, what do you do with something like that? That's happened a couple times over the last couple years. Both the guys actually, I I kinda dug on their teaching. They're they're pretty pretty strong bible fellows. And but like what do you what do you do when when, you know, you're you're the the guy that was shepherding you, discipling you

goes away and then and then how how what do you do with that? Like how do how do you kind of frame that in in a healthy way that allows you to kind of move on and still take if they, you know, if they were feeding stuff that was out of the bible from Christ, you can go, yeah, okay, that's still pretty solid and and disconnect it from the guy. So anyway, we'll talk about that just a little bit. Alright. Sweet. That's what we're show tonight. If you want to interact with the show during the week, you can go to lifefromthepath.org. Hopefully, you're in there now. If you have any complaints about the show, go ahead and keep those to yourself. You can pray on that stuff. If you love the show, you can certainly shoot us an email though, [email protected]. And I say that because I feel like the show is gonna be awesome. And I wanna make sure you know how to tell me you thought the show was awesome because I heard the dudes warmed up and they are indeed awesome. And if I tell you after they're done and we start talking in jazz, then you're going back at the Complaint Alley. And so I feel like this is the right way to do it. Wisdom. Right? Wisdom. Tell me wisdom. Okay. Alright. Alright. Let's let's catch up with the light forty five fellows. So first of all, fellas, tell for the people who don't know you, tell us a little bit about yourselves and about the band.

Well, we've been together for nine years. Is that right? Yep. Something like that. Mark and I have. Critter here. He's our drummer on the gym base. Say hi, Critter. Hi. He's a man of few words. He's been with us for very long. Like six years or so. We met at a church jam session, Mark and I did, and

wrote a song that night that we play to this day live, and it's just kind of all been uphills or downhill since there, I guess. It's just been it's totally a god thing that we're together, and it's it's been a super fun ride so far. So how how would you describe your music for folks that haven't heard you? Rock. Rock and roll, man. It's it's rock with every possible permutation of rock, I would say. It's just all the way alternative rock because, you know, how do you really label that? So Yeah. But we got heavy. We got swamp rock. We got reggae song we play live.

You know, it's it's Well, was the middle one swamp something? Swamp rock. Yeah. What happens there? I'm intrigued and excited about swamp, man. That's like, you know, you gotta imagine the hillbillies out in the bayou, you know, kinda like, you know, that's what we consider steep is kind of Yeah. I have to take your word for it because I've never heard anyone else clean the hay swamp. To point though, steep is a is a freaking sweet song. Yeah. Love swamp rock. It turns out, yeah, apparently, we're swamp rock fans. Who knew? Who knew? Okay. That's good news. Alright. So I I wanna hear more about you guys have been doing some recording. You guys have a poppy thing that just kind of goes, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh,

the thing that people don't really know about that is the whole song is contrasting the law and grace. And so even the chorus there, the first, it's meant to be like a person scolding a child and that kind of represents the law and then the last two,

are to represent revelation in the new covenant. And even the the verses talk basically two stories of people that have lived without Christ

and then last little bit in there about what it's like with Christ. And and sometimes there's like overlap in areas that are

some kind of dichotomies that we always kind of do as a band. When it says I was breaking my own mind and I'll do it again, it means that prior to Christ, our mind was broken because we're just lost and we didn't know what side was up. And then with Christ, we are responsible to take every thought captive and obedient to Christ. We're responsible for breaking our own mind into obedience to Christ.

And we do that a lot. Even the name Light forty five is kind of a hard and soft. The truth in love is kind of what we're all about. And

I really liked words like light and peace and stuff. And Mark on the other hand likes he's he's one of the those typical super macho manly men that always has a gun on him and loves knives and guns and stuff. So the 45 was from his favorite gun, I think. Right? Yep. Yep. That's a gun I carry. So Swamp people. And I forgot that yeah. Swamp people. I forgot that Iowa actually made Minnesota like, if you have Minnesota permit, you carry in Iowa. So was like, dang it. Could've brought my gun down. Mhmm. Yeah. Don't and, man, you know what? You should've asked me. Couldn't carry down here, and I Just about everybody calls me, like, can I my gun? I'm like, yeah. And you you didn't do it. Next time, I'll bring my I'll bring two of them or something. I got rifles too, mean. Alright. Well, sweet. Let's let's hear it. This is you're listening live from the path. This is Light 45 with Steeped.

The sunshine. I've been breaking my own mind, and I'll do it again. That's steeped. Nice. I love the extra. Love I love the backup. Yeah. That's no problem. You got Hey, man. I don't I don't get people who aren't a fan of Swamp Rock. Yeah. I know. Right?

Just do it. If you listen to that song and you don't go, you know what saying? I did it. Halfway through, was like There's something wrong with Yeah. I felt I felt like I was wrong in the first half of the song because I wasn't doing it. Yeah. And I started and I felt better. Yeah. Arms folded will get you Right. What? You need to go to a rock hospital. Gotta go to the rock hospital. As as we knock your face off.

I dig it. Yeah. Right on. Yeah. That's That was awesome. So yeah. Yeah. Boy, I I I do. I dig on that song. So so people can hear this. You have is it it's an EP. Right? EP album, EP? Yeah. It's the five song we decided to go for quality over quantity on this. And so we're extremely proud of every single one on there. There will be other singles as well

in the future. But this is just the first release up of there. And we're playing acoustic today, but the EP, of course, is started in swamp rocky. That's true. That's true. Okay, sweet. So tell me a little bit about that.

Is that what you've been recently recording in Nashville or you're pointing to something else? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we're do you wanna talk about Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You so you just wanna know a little bit about what what the experience was. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell me about, first of all, how'd you end up in Nashville? So we, basically, we were gonna have to try with a guy named Travis Wyrick,

and, we had it all kinda scheduled, ready to go. And then the guy just kinda stopped and said, hey. I I think we need to try a different path. And the reason was, like, Travis is a great guy, but for our styles, I think Travis does more rock. And so Skip Mills is a Grammy award winning producer. We kinda I think I think Justin knew him, I believe. Is that correct? I had a contact with him. We just kinda reached out, and it just, like, kinda he got his Grammy with third day. He he did saving Abel. He's done skillet. He's done everything you think. So he would come in, and I remember, like, pardon. The first experience for me was,

he's like, what do you want for drum heads? And I was like, I'm a Remos guy. He's like, okay. And he just tells this guy to go get this for him. And I was like, can do it. He's like, nope. Nope. You just do your thing. And I'm I like to I'm very picky, like, how I wanna be comfortable when I play. Yeah. And I was like, can I move around? He's like, dude, just do what you need to do. You're paying me. And I'm like, okay. Cool. It was nervous. Feel like I'd be scared to death of this man. Right? I mean, it's it was but the cool thing about Skid was he's real humble. I did seven hours. Too. Yeah. Yeah. It it was so cool, man. Like, seven hours on the kit, and then just the experience that this guy had was unbelievable.

I I mean, his the way he worked was just insane. Probably one of the funniest experience for me is, like, I I like to eat a lot of food. Right. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So I'd go eat breakfast and and Slice. Like, he would he would get there at, ten. He's like, okay. It's time for lunch. Like, we go in maybe, like, five minutes, and he's like, okay. It's time for lunch. I I learned quickly not to eat breakfast. It was unreal. I was like, I'm full already. So but the experience of being in that studio was real cool. I mean Did did you find that, like, because he was good at what he does that it brought out the best in what you do? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. For one for the the best example for me was The Maze. We weren't planning on putting it on the record. Right? We we were gonna try. Yeah. We we had come in with another song, he he wasn't, like, mean about it. He just said, hey. I'm not

Here. I wanna change this, this, and this. And I was like, say that again? Like It's hard to relearn it, actually. Right. I actually had to write my parts down, and, I mean, I struggled with it for me. I don't know how these guys did. They did a lot probably a lot better for me. Oh, it's easy for us. Yeah. I was, like, sweating bullets because, like, I didn't wanna look like a fool. Right on. I was real nervous. I know that struggle, bro. That happened in other ways. So Yeah. Yeah. But when we we figured out how to play it and came back in, I was like, holy moly. This is why you make what you make and, like, why you're so good at you. I mean, it blew my mind. I was really and and now all our fans are catching that song real quick. Do you think that a lot of the bands that that, like I mean, it's been a a a pretty big deal that, you know, there's people pumping out albums left and right because you can do it in your house pretty much. You can get iTunes. You know what I'm saying? You can get you can get any music recording software and pretty much put an album out if you wanted to. Mhmm. Do you think that a lot of the music that's getting put out is missing that? Is missing like the the fifth party objective that goes, I know what is good and how it works and and I can help you like that. Absolutely. Sorry. Don't mean this is something like I love talking about this part. I told we had got this asked to us before and I said, I think my best advice for a new band, if you're real serious about doing this, like dead serious about trying to make a career out of it, go big or go home. Spend the money. Because I I think one thing I learned from Skid was, like, you get a record and let's say you're trying to send it to the record companies to play it or whatever. They're gonna listen to it once and if it doesn't sound good, it's in the garbage. You've ruined your name. You ain't getting a second chance and that's why he said quality

was over the quantity for us. And, like, even Skid said that, you know, it's not about records anymore. It's about that one song. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Because people buy one at a time, really. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Absolutely. So that's that's something I thought was really cool advice from him. Cool. Very cool. So how long were you guys down there? Two weeks. Two weeks. Holy cats. Two weeks, and it was a total rock star experience. It started off as a week and a half. Yeah. We you know, if you're gonna get stuck somewhere, that's good place to do it. Hell, right. You are. For me, like, I I don't know about these. I'll speak for me. I'm

not well, this sounds bad. I've never got to get out as much as a kid. Don't think He's from Idaho. So from Idaho. So, like, literally His best friend growing up was a sheephead. Yeah. He's good. There was no better way to put that. You did it perfectly, man. This is crazy. So we went down on on Halloween night. I've never seen so many people in my entire life. I mean Halloween in Nashville is insane. This is insane. Like, I couldn't like, it was overwhelming for me. Like, these guys are just, like, nonchalant. I was like, oh, like, where am I, man? Like, it must stop. At 02:30 in the morning, the thousands and thousands of people. I was just No. Wait a You're not talking trick or treat style like getting candy. They're just hanging out Well, they're all Oh, they're dressed up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's dressed up, like, thousands and thousands of people. I don't get dressed up unless someone's hanging out candy. You're saying they were just out there dressed funny for no reason? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I don't understand Nashville as a whole. They they thought Critter was dressed up, actually.

What are you supposed to be? No, the that that was crazy to me. I never seen that many people, like, literally. I mean, I know it sounds funny, but, like, that was insane to me. 02:30 in the morning, I'm in T shirts and shorts, and, like, I was like, holy moly, man. Yeah. So Yeah. It was cold up here when we went down. Went down in November. So Yeah. So yeah. We we, recently shot a music video in Florida, and Critter had never seen the ocean either. Like, we're we're slowly finding out how, how shelter You're expanding his whole world, guys. I thought he was joking. He was like, I've never seen the ocean. I'm like, yeah. Whatever. He's like, no. I'm serious. I got it. Is he serious? Yeah. That was awesome.

I'm not kidding. I'm gonna take you anywhere. You seem excited just to come somewhere. Don't The only thing I didn't like about Florida is we got ticks on us. Oh, yeah. Mostly you. Dude, was Ticks like Ticks like hair, and for the people that are not watching You can tell them how we how we got it off. You just got a giant mop of hair. We're we're out in is that cool if we talk about it? Yeah. So we're in Florida. I don't know. So we're in Florida and You know, I've changed my mind. No.

These guys are saying, hey. Did you check for ticks? And I have a good friend named Jody. He I did a band in Idaho for ten years, Christian band down there. I met this dude. He was from The UK, and he's in the military. He lived in Florida. So I told him, hey, We're coming down. I think he drove, like, four hours hours to help us out with our photos and stuff. And he's like, y'all check for ticks. Right? And I was like, you have ticks out here? I didn't think about it because we were in, like, this, like, tropical thing. We don't have ticks in Idaho. So I thought he just met outside in Georgia. Checking myself. I'm like, I find one. I find two. I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, had the dreads. I'm freaking freaking out. Out. This This guy guy gets a brilliant idea to pull out a knife and a corn cob and a lighter. Not a corn cob. Not a corn cob. I milled this whole corn cob and I buttered it. Yeah. I like, was like, really confused about the process of the corn cob. Story took a weird turn. I

don't know if we should allow this on the show. Little spikes on the end of it to put out a corn cup. I don't understand Florida either. I tell you. This guy, like, lit my Even half cornflower? Oh, no. Yeah. They're videotaping on Periscope. I'm like, dude, don't It's understandable. Don't stab me. He stabbed me. He he's gonna kick out. My wife's on there. Slice him open. We did we did this live. That was so bad. Live streaming. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. It was comical, and he burnt. And then he's, like, trying to light my beard. I'm like, dude, get off it. We got the tick out, but yeah. Well, yeah. As long as the tick's gone, yeah. I don't know. You know, if you get the end of your knife really hot, it helps. Yeah. Well, we thought it was It doesn't help me get tick out, but it just makes the whole thing a lot more enjoyable. It doesn't do anything for the tick. Yeah. I just know that if a guy came to my house with a corncob and a and a lighter and said, I'd like to help you out with your problems.

It's like, don't think you're fully equipped for the situation, sir. I would say, I have a panel van. I'd like you to get in somewhere to go. Don't get me wrong. I like the corn, but still. Leave the corn on the doorstep. Right. Yeah. That doesn't need to come in here. You can just you can leave it outside. I have a friend of mine from Minnesota that has a weapon. You better back it up.

Didn't bring it with him, but he's gonna bring two next door. He's a good driver for three. What? Do you do you do you got that knife on you? I do. Yes. Alright. Good. I mean, I actually, I would feel really let down if you didn't. It's actually still got burnt tick parts on it if you if you really wanna see No. I'd have made a new tip already on it once, though. Wait. Wait. You fashioned your own tips on the knife? Well, yeah. Because I use it for everything. So use it for a screwdriver, pry bar, and then, you know, every once I snap the end of it off, so you gotta take the grinder and make a new one. You know, there's certain times when I think to myself, you know, I I know what it's like to be a man and, take care of stuff. And then I meet people like, yeah. I have to refashion the end of my knife all the time. And I'm just like, I own a screwdriver and Yeah. That's because I'm cheap. And I really enjoy steak. Like, that's all I got going for me. That's about it. Actually, my knives my knives at my house are are not well sharpened. And I I thought, I'm I'm buying a new set of knives. It did not occur to me to sharpen the knives.

I'm almost certain with the the quality of knives that you own, it is not possible. No. Yeah. It's a good point. That's true. I spent $20 on my whole knife set, so I probably need to just go buy Yeah. I don't know if that's the kind of knife you're talking Yeah. Buy a new set. Yeah. I I mean, I don't mean to divert it. Cheap way to do this? I was looking on the Amazon. Someone was like, hey. This is a this is a nice knife set. And if they wanted, like, $280, is that reasonable for a nice set of knives? Well, I've heard of that before, and I have friends who have spent that much. Yes. Yeah. I mean, my my I think it the knife set. It was, a four set four knife set or what? Twelve and the scissors, I think. Twelve and scissors? If that's not your new band name, it should be.

Twelve and the scissors. I mean yeah. I mean, my onions get cut today. Maybe I As long as you can cut your onions, man. Is that the deal? That's all that matters. You're gonna buy this $280 knife set and cut a little easier on the onions like, yes. Here's what I think. This is the right decision I'm afraid I I would end up eating vegetables that require cutting more often simply so I feel like I'm getting a value out of my $280 knife set. It's like Anybody want any pureed carrots?

Yes, you do. I minced my own garlic recently. Started doing it. Bought a knife specifically for it. It's papaya time. Who's ready? What? You don't eat a papaya like an apple? No. You can't do that. Why not? I'm not sure. Mango like that. What do you hey. What do you you guys you guys so when you did you fly to Nashville and and Florida, or did you drive? We drove. We drove. Yep. Yep. So what'd you guys eat on the way there? Like, you you I put all my money on a knife and this gun. Yeah. Like Florida. No. They went out and hunted. Was brutal. We did a oh, is this thirty eight hours? I think I had no sleep.

And there was no. Like, this is no joke, dude. No Walmart. Nothing. I'm starving. I'm grouchy, dude. Like, was He's like, we're in Walmart. We get over yeah. Yeah. We get over to this little dive bar thing and we walk in and they all, like, stop. Oh, I forgot about that. They're like, you're not all from here or something. How do they say it? You're not from here, are you? I don't know. People really say that? I thought they just I wanna go to places that say that. All they just order a burger and, like, a Coke or something. Yeah. And They basically them, what, like, two hours and No. They said suddenly get it done. They eat inside here. The just eat outside. I'm like, I don't care where I eat. Just give me some food at this point. And then, like, four or five minutes later, I walked back in. I like, here's our burger, they're like, oh, we're getting it put on. I like, you know what? Just forget. I'm going home. I went to bed. I was so mad. I was like, man. Didn't even think that was an experience that's possible. Like, y'all ain't come here. Nowadays. Gonna have to eat outside? Yes. You'd be surprised how much Well, that critter going first, actually. Yeah. So that was kind of the problem. Wow. My friends have the same problem with me too. They're like, we're not feeding you, man. You need to go. I'm like, alright. Fair enough. What did we the

food you did awesome on the food stuff for our trips to Nashville. It's all Google, man. Yeah. Yeah. Wait. Wait. You laid out like the restaurants you're gonna stop at? No. No. You know, it's Google's got those filters. You can just search for restaurants by four star ratings. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it just takes you to the best one, so that was simple. So so best all the credits. What was the best one on the trip? The Mexican. Oh, that was The Mexican food was just fantastic. Oh, I thought it was a place called The Mexican. Or a guy. Or Or a guy on the side of the road. That's right. I can't remember his name. He was the Mexican guy. Cooks burgers. My favorite restaurant experience was that that pancake place where Brandon almost got slugged by that that big old black lady. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was pretty good. Did you start a fight at a pancake joint? No. Almost. Isn't that impossible? He's just almost got laid off. Funny.

Like, the whole joke, you know, you go to the bathroom and the crew leaves you and stuff. Yeah. These guys We didn't shut the lights off on him, though, at least. So I'm over there, and I I come out of the bathroom. I'm looking around. And he they were hitting really good, and then he pulled out of the the car. And I was like, oh, there you are. And then he's like, oh, I'm just gonna take off. So he took off. I come, like, at a 45 degree angle, and I didn't see this lady. And all you see is dread and beard coming at her. And she actually took a swing at me all the time, and she said she did say some choice words. She said I was gonna knock the you're lucky I didn't knock. How'd say? Did she say the boy? Knock

lucky I didn't knock you. And I was laughing so hard, and I'm trying to apologize to this poor lady. It would have been awesome. I didn't I don't want you to have gotten punched, but for the sake of the story Like, I hope you don't take that as a personal I wish she would I would try it. We would try it right here in Nwando. It would've been a cooler story if she just clocked you right outside the face. It would've it was it was close. I mean, I had to go duck real quick. I mean, it was close.

Yeah. Good thing he's fast. I'll tell you what. For the sake of the story, I probably would have just taken the punch to the face. I wouldn't even say, hey, man. We went to Nashville. Oh, we can go back. What happened? Well, I got punched in the face by this lady at Pancake House. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it takes a certain deal to get in a fight at a Pancake House. Right. How can you be mad flipping pancakes all day and excited about that? I'd love it. Let alone punch somebody in the face. Alright. Whatever. Alright. Alright. We got we got critic stories galore. So yeah. No. Hold on. Why did you go to Florida to shoot a music video? We're we're perfect. Do it. Yeah.

Okay. Fair enough. Well, seems like a solid answer. Next question. We're not going to expand on that at all. I just say there's a lot of cities between, you know, midway through Minneapolis, Minnesota, Minnesota and then then Florida. Well, it was like I wanted to see the ocean. Yeah. Hey. I'm not I will totally accept that answer. That's a fair answer. Yeah. Well, I really like bring death and rights. So

You know, we yeah. It was the middle of winter and the song Bring Me Back to Life. Definitely like a summer summer. Oh, okay. Gotcha. And We had snow and We did some scallops. Trees. You know? Yeah. It ended up being absolutely the perfect choice. It was fantastic. And somehow we pulled it all off on one weekend, driving from Minnesota in the winter, down shooting for twelve hours. Yeah. We love Driving back, basically. That's awesome. Yeah. We left Thursday at, like, 04:00. Drove twenty four hours, got to where we're gonna shoot, checked it out, kinda scoped it out. Saw some gators. What? Saw lots of gators. Went back to where we're staying. That well, it took us a while to find the places. You know? Yeah. Was back road somewhere. Found the place. We did a little bit of video shooting there. Went got to bed at what? I don't know. 02:00 in the morning. Something like that. Caliber the next day, went and shot all day long, went back late,

took a nap, got up five in morning, drove all the back home. Sweet. Got back Monday morning. So Yep. Wait. So did you have to get any extras or anything for this thing? No. Or, like, it was just you guys. Yeah. Okay. I'll send the videographer and then Jody. I I don't if you had to, like, Facebook a crowd or, like, Craigslist a crowd together or something for some sort of beach party scene or just, like, water Thankfully, that'd have been A beach party scene. That's when they said the the the name of the song and that that you need warm weather, I immediately thought people with beach balls on the stuff and you fellas in some, you know, some board shorts out there. Was that the wrong image? I feel like it was. Wrong image? Okay. Feel like it ride his his kick drum in the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. I actually did. That was my goal to put a drum set in the ocean. It my nice nice kid, but it some was cheap kit. It was cool.

It's actually really hard to, like, try to float on a you know, I was like, Wilson. But with a kick drum, man, it was hard. These are problems that I'll never have. No. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. There's certain things we'll run into if I like I'm gonna cry the next time you on a beach with a drummer? No. That's definitely true. So it's for Next time you bring a kid's up on the beach. Freedom. Freedom. Hey. Shoot. I forgot to mention this. So when you were doing that explanation of the law and grace stuff, I thought Yeah. It made me feel stupid. Because I've listened to that song like five times and I thought, I didn't catch it. Yeah. It's I didn't catch it in the law and grace dichotomy.

Yeah. And I thought Jesus is walking around me and I'm I'm unawares. Mike, did you how did you feel about it? Well, actually, so I like the I I would when I originally heard that song, I liked I'm breaking my own mind and I'll do it again. Like, I got that part pretty pretty directly. I'm like, okay, I know this feeling. Yeah. And then the other part, I'm like, man, he's he's written a catchy chorus. Like, it didn't hit me that anything was really going on. I just thought, if I sat down for ten years, I could never put those string of ohs and ahs together to come up with something cool and they've done it. Although, if you think about it, like, the the perfect the the perfect person to do that voice for a, like, a dichotomy of long grace would be Paul. And so, like, you would have the music video then makes me think of, like, a couple of dancing Pauls that are kind of your background that do that thing. That's why they went with Florida, not Yeah. Okay. Because a couple of dancing Pauls in any situation doesn't sound cool. Yeah. Cool. Thanks. Alright. Awesome. Alright. Hey, let's let's let's dig on another tune. So tell me so you you mentioned it earlier,

The Maze. Tell me a little bit about this tune. Well, this one is it seems to be probably

edging out the other ones as the favorite on the album for most people. It seems like it's really split up. We have a wide variety on the EP. This seems to be probably the favorite one and it's a story really about identity. And the story is that there's a person that he he finds himself

basically in a desert and he just starts putting down bricks and building this wall. He doesn't even really know why he's doing it. But all these bricks have got a lie or a sin that relate to his identity. And before he knows it, he's built this entire maze

in this in this lost stupor. And he finally realizes it. He realizes that he's lost that he's in the middle of this thing that he cannot possibly find his way out of with huge walls, you know, completely completely out of his element.

And so then he decides to lift up his eyes and his arms follow, you know, in praise. And when he opens his you know, looks back down at the maze, it's gone. It's just just completely disappeared. And then it's he just walks it off in praise after that. So that's what this sign is about.

Alright. This is you're listening to light 45 on life in the path. This is the maze. A name inscribed upon his face. My mind was so confusing, my hands were so confusing. My words revealed the lies and the sins that I had fused. And as I took out late, I raised Nice.

I don't think we ever played that song with a gym baby before. Was kinda cool. Was. Holy cats. Yeah. Grace, what'd you think of that one? Yeah. Yeah. I like that answer. It's a shining endorsement. Yeah. I also feel that way. I can't tell she's your girl at all. Yeah. No. No. I picked her up on her way here. There's and there I love that song. That was amazing. I

when I get it, amazing. No. Hey. Yes. Amazing. Well done.

Too many songs nowadays, like, that I hear either on the radio or from just kinda listen out in the on the interwebs and stuff like that are songs that I can, like, easily just kinda jam to a little bit. I love the songs that, like, challenge my ears. Like, literally, if I'm going, oh, like, oh. Oh, that's good stuff. Like, if I'm making faces Yeah. At what you're singing, you'll be like, that's when I go on. Yeah. Exactly. When you face again. If you're going like this, it's no problem. But if you gotta go like, uh-oh. I got Woah. Yeah. I got garlic in my own pits. Yeah. Like, I gotta crunch up a little bit. I feel like I'm being assaulted in a Waffle House. Right. Did I just get punched in the face by some black lady at a at a Waffle House? Because it feels like it. That's what it feels like. That's the musical equivalent of what has happened in the maze. I was like, oh, oh, yeah. I dig on that. That was that was awesome. Well done, guys. So now both of those those both of those songs that we just heard can be found on the EP. Correct? Yeah. Correct. Okay. Where's the best place for people to get this thing? Probably our website, lighticom. And GHT45

can they buy it right from there? Yep. Yeah. Physical you got any posters? Yeah. We got not there, actually. We'll put some merch up soon. We're still working on that part of it, we're getting close.

It's kinda late now. Mind. We won't send you a poster. No. Actually, I'd like the poster. I wish I wouldn't react to that way. You want a poster or not, man?

Okay. Great. And Grace is interested in a t shirt if we're not with that one. Yeah. Do you guys do shirts? We do. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Do you do a bro tank? Moov only wears a bro tank. We could probably cut one up and make it look that way. I was gonna say it's gotta be a pretty big bro tank job. Every time Every time I work, should have three logos on it because it's three shirts.

And frankly, when you do the pre here's the cool part, is when you do the preview on iTunes, it's fifty fifty on where they choose to pick your tune at. You know? Like like, sometimes they'll just throw in the weirdest spot. You're like, I don't know if I like this tone. Only to find out thirty seconds later, it rocked hard and you missed it. Yeah. Not the case. If you preview the stuff on the iTunes, it's this time around on on on this album in particular, it's it's all solid.

He's got he's got the whole box at his house. That's all super easy. That's amazing. I don't know the words.

We can tell. Can we make something clearer with that one too? So we've had people say that they think that there's a swear word on that chorus. I did not say so. I that earlier. Yeah. We thought there might be an f It sounded like blah blah blah mother effing blah blah. It's more satellite.

And that's true. We're not that kind of a band. I didn't think so, but I thought, well, that's a Sly Boots way to sneak that in. Do it super fast. So so so I suppose to set the record straight, what are you saying in there?

Thought it's an idiot. He would he He would've it every time. All of words for the chorus or just that part? That particular part. Yeah. Wait a minute. Could you if I asked you to play it at half speed and sing it while you're doing that, is that a possibility? It might actually come out. Is that a good Yeah. Bad word. We can keep just Turns out we were saying it. Joking. We didn't even know about it. We should have slowed our jam down. You should have. Just don't put it in reverse, man. You

never know what'll happen. No. Exactly. Got the power, oh, no. You keep building up a throne of broken. Oh, yeah. You keep building it, but it has got you made. And that just ruins the song. Oh, man. That sounded show toony at first. I'm like, ugh. That's the Las Vegas game. It's the ladies. You're swinging that one out. No.

Picking up a yeah. Sounds like you're missing a top right Hey,

that I would have missed that though. Like, there there is actually a lot to connect with even with the lyrics there. So, like, do you have to just just a couple of fellows talking to talking to each other. It's good to see you. So did you did you have to, like, practice that in front of a mirror? Because I feel like that was that looks difficult for me to do quickly. That was that was easy. Okay. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna practice it. Oh. And next week Awesome. Next week, fellas, we're on the hook to try it. Yeah. Yeah. At full speed. Oh, no. Alright. So we'll give a shot. Hey. And no no prep or anything. Like, oh, we're gonna come in here. I'm gonna count to three, and everybody's gonna do it at once. Oh, no. Are you guys, like, just gonna listen to it and try to figure the words out? Or, Yeah. Yeah. You need an easier way to do it? No. So we have him do it slow. I might write the words down Yeah. So that we can at least attempt to get it right and not completely disembowel it. Can you do, like, a bouncing ball thing? That'll be helpful. There's a lyrics video. That might help out. Okay. Hey. There we go. YouTube. Did you guys make your own lyrics video? Yeah. We have them all. Okay. That's cool. We'll do that. That we're doing? Oh, yeah. He's got it already. Yeah. I'm already doing.

Out of curiosity, other than the swear word, what else did you think he said? I didn't know. I'm being honest with you. I had and here's the deal. Unfortunately, this is gonna sound bad. I wasn't interested. I just wanted to go I just wanted to go oh, yeah. You know? At least he's honest. Like like someone caught Louis Armstrong in a lie, he was trying to figure his way out of it. I didn't do it, man.

Like someone caught Louis Armstrong in a lot. I like that, man. That's the best description Google review of that song with you guys today, I'm gonna be upset let down. Do you have to hashtag that or something? Louis

lies. I know somebody is. Louis Armstrong. Louis. Mike. You can do it in Louis Armstrong voice if you want for next

yeah. When you show up to a show of ours, we have you up on the stage. Yeah. It's nice to be wanted. I'll be there.

You better bring a weapon. Yeah. Fair enough. I heard Minnesota's kinda rough. They had to get that way sometimes. They had to leave there to even do a video shoot. Long winners. Go ahead. These rough people. Alright. We're gonna hit some dear life from the past. Okay. Okay. Gracie, you get to you're gonna we're gonna get your opinion on what these people need to do right off the bat. Okay. Here we go. Dear life from the path. I live in a beautiful apartment in the perfect location and I've been there for three years. This past year, my neighbors had a second baby. This child cries constantly during all hours of the night and most of the day. I hear the wailing and the parents yelling and slamming doors when they are frustrated.

I thought as the child got a little older, it would get better, but it hasn't. He's now 1.5 and still crying constantly. I'm stressed out and losing sleep because of the constant commotion. In the beginning, the parents were tolerant of their child and I didn't wanna complain because I didn't wanna stress them out. Now I feel stuck. Should I complain directly to them, contact the building manager or just make arrangements to move? I feel like a terrible person to complain. We must give young children and parents some leeway. But this isn't their first child and I worry that something more is going on. Love this place, but I cannot continue like this. Please help me. I'm losing my sanity and goodwill towards children. Gracie, what should what should this man do about this problem? Either buy a pair of ear plugs or go get some headphones.

Yeah. Don't don't sass anybody about it. You gotta let it go. Yeah. Grace says, look, man. Other people has problems too. You know I'm saying? So I I mean, legitimately, here's the first thing that hits me, like, if you're if you're worried that something else is going on, you're you're doing a terrible job of getting to the bottom of that. You know saying? Like, if you're actually honestly concerned and not just being a gossipy whine about you know what I'm saying? Like, concern means you go over them and say, is everything cool? Like, a kid that's two years old been crying constantly for two years, is there something wrong with the kid? You know what I'm saying? Like, does he have an ear infection? No one has checked out and it's just getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Like, I it just it don't make any sense to me that, like, if you feel that way, about that situation and you're more worried about, hey, man. I can't take this noise, then you're not really looking at this right. Like, if that kid is to the point where it feels like it has to communicate through crying for two years straight, something wrong over there. Right.

I think that, yeah, I would agree with your your statement of they have they they have done absolutely nothing to actually figure this deal out. Their their concern is fake and only for themselves. They're willing to say, hey. It's kind of an inconvenience to me, that this baby's loud and these parents are angry, and yelling. And therefore, I'm gonna take it from the perspective of, oh, it's inconveniencing me, so I'm gonna contact the building manager or I'm gonna leave. Rather than actually doing a human thing and going to getting to know the people and figuring out the situation. Maybe you can help. Maybe it's gonna come off a little nosy at first first or maybe you can just make a new friend in your building. Right. Legitimately, be a human being and go actually talk to people. It's not that difficult. Light 45, where are at on this thing? Well, I can tell you if you go talk to the building manager, there's nothing they can do about it. Right. True.

True. They're gonna go, yeah. It's a it's true. I'm a building manager also. So Alright. Fair enough. Yeah. No. And there's I mean, there's legally nothing you could do. Like, you could call them, and then you're just the middleman that's going between them. Then they call you when the other guy's being too loud. And I feel like that's real pansy way to handle it anyway. Right. Yeah. You talk to your neighbors. Go home. You know? Normally, they're really cool. Yeah. Yeah. And if they say, hey. Look. She's sick or you know what I'm saying? Like, we're having tough times, and and I'm I'm so sorry. It's causing you the trouble. Or you know, I mean, granted nobody wants to live like that. I I get that. But, like, I mean, if you can take the whole world in with your with your eyes and ears and say, hey, This isn't adding up. There's not just jerk people next door that are causing their kids to cry just to make me angry. It don't make any sense at all. Right. Right? So there's gotta be some grace in there somewhere. Let's see. Secular says, it's possible that something is wrong with the child. Talk to the building manager. Man. Explicit the problem and say that a year and a half of this racket is enough. You may learn that you are not the only tenant bothered by the constant crying and door slamming. If the problem can't be corrected, contact a lawyer

and check to see if you have grounds to break your lease and get out of there. You have a right to the quiet enjoyment of your home. You have my sympathy. Excuse me. You no. I'm sorry. You you moved into an apartment. Right. Yeah. You you have the right to smell what everyone is cooking and hear what everyone's think that's in the contract. Yeah. If you hear a baby crying, you can get a lawyer. I mean Yeah. That's ridiculous. Hey, man. It smells like a weird deal like somebody burned some eggs. Welcome to an apartment building. Yeah. Hey. Somebody's kid's crying. Welcome to an apartment building. Yep. Bye. Like, I I

own a I own a a 900 square foot mansion in Bondurant. Okay? It's in my own house. I do not have the right to know with no noise going on in there. This is outrageous. Doesn't it? Let me complain to the managers. Move to the next people's house to do it, you know. Yeah. It takes amount certain amount of hubris to be like, I deserve to live better than this. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, Boob is right. You look at an apartment building with say 500 tenants and go, oh, yeah. This is gonna be my dream home of absolute quiet. Right. You're you're dumb. You're just you're dumb, man. I'm never gonna hear a thing. Yeah. You know what? And like You're going pretty stressed. It's all I'm kinda excited about my apartment building. There's an Indian couple right next to me. Their house always smells amazing. Hey. Is that mandatory that an Indian couple has to live in an apartment complex? Because I Every single

Yes. It is. I'm just saying there's always an Indian couple and they're always cooking. That's right. They're up till 04:00 in the morning to cooking. I love those people. I know. They let you sample what they're cooking. I'm about to start. Smell them, they'll give like walk over there be like, hey, here's the deal. I noticed that your apartment always smells incredible and I'd like to partake. Yeah. Yeah. I brought some bread

because that's all I can do. I get a loaf of bread and the chicken noodle soup and then walk over like, I can't contribute to your meal Yeah. But I certainly want to partake. Shwarma says I don't know nothing. Alright. Smells amazing. It's it's actually weird that this came up. I I I was thinking that as this letter was going on, it's like how how blind can you be to somebody else's circumstances? As much as you don't, as like, it may bother you to have to listen to a baby crying, what's it like being the baby? Right?

What's it like if there's something legitimately causing this kid to be upset or can't be calmed down, like, what's it like to be those parents? And like, it was weird, Mike and I were having a conversation with someone recently and and, like, it it was just it was a relationship issue and, like, it was it was the hardest thing to try to get someone to say, like, hey, this person's overbearing, this person's difficult to deal with, this person, like, is constantly nitpicking things and, like, has to have things exactly their way and, like, that stinks being on the other side of somebody like that. I I know that, like, you I've met people like that, but, like, do have to consider what's it like to be that person. Like, when you if you look at the world and you can't and your your mind says, I have to care about this to, like, a crazy extent things have to be exactly right. Otherwise, I don't have like, I get real anxious. And the I'm not saying they're not wrong. I'm just saying it also sucks to be them. And so, like Yeah. To a certain extent, can you can you try to take something in that says, hey, man, that people people struggle. And a lot of times, some of their their quirks about how they interact with people, like, we'll bury them and some, like

I remember my mom was like because my mom had some anxiety about about when Mike and I would I don't know, we just, like, walk away, we wouldn't tell where we were going and we go wander the apartment complex or whatever and we wouldn't And like, she'd you know, eventually after like forty five minutes, she'd come having to look around everywhere and try to find us. Right? And like, I we always overreact, like, what was the problem? We were always just at the at the what the the third playground of the playgrounds available, we were at the third one. And, like, we were on the other side of someone, like, flipping out because she couldn't find her kids and we're like, hey, she's being unreasonable, but in reality, she's flipping out because she cares about her kids. Right. And so, like, like, expand that into other areas of life where you think people are overbearing or you think people are too too persnickety about something or, you know, like, the things that you're bothered by, just know that there are other people that are closer to that situation that are having to deal with that as well. And so like just have a little bit of humanity that says like relatively, here's how you can react to something that's going on, but recognize they're having to deal with deal with it firsthand. You're the secondhand person. And so put that into some perspective. Yes. Yeah. Right on.

Okay. Here we go. Dear life from the path, I have a six year old son who is a very compassionate child. My husband's mother lives with us and recently went through an illness from which she recovered. Twice my son tried to give her a necklace he made from braided yarn to cheer her up. I, from the path, she not only refused to accept them, but left them on the floor as if she didn't even want to touch them. She has no reason to dislike my son, but she just cannot appreciate the love he was demonstrating. As grandma is not likely to change, I wonder how to help him understand

that his sweet but childish gifts are just not valuable to some people. If I say nothing, I am concerned it will hurt him more in the long run. Personally, I love the pictures and letters and gifts he makes for me and so does my mother who lives far away. It makes me ache to see his compassionate gifts rejected to his face by a family member he loves. Your thoughts, sensitive mom of a sensitive boy. Johnny's gonna be a pansy on wheels with a bow on it if you continue to treat him that way. Holy cats. Like, here's yeah. I she she already knows the deal. Right? Like, she's looking at her lenses like, he's a sensitive boy. Yeah. He is, which is okay, but it sounds like you're just a sensitive person. Right. I want to impress upon sensitiveness that, like, this woman is not as good as me or my mother, and we're great. And my my husband's mom, she's just terrible. I don't care how many times she's almost died. She should accept this braid directly and not hurt the feelings of my six year old boy who really doesn't even notice the difference. Have you seen kids give out cards? They're like, they had more fun making the card. And then they give you the card and they're like, yeah, whatever. And then they're gone. Yeah. They're gonna play with something. They're not like waiting with bated breath on your reaction to this homemade gift. Hey. I do. It's on the yeah, but like, it's on the it's on the floor. Right? Like, that's where the kids put all their stuff. Yeah. Right. So, like, they don't the floor isn't automatically perceived as a place of ill repute.

See, exactly. Right? Here's the deal, like, as a parent, if this happened to me, truly the deal is it's all it is is a teaching moment for your kids. That's true. Grandma might just be acting like a child. Hey. And I'm not disagreeing there. Like, grandma, know, grandma could have just said thank you and hit it in her garter. I don't know. Like, she could have handled this differently, but to the extent that she's not. Agreed. But that's not your job as a parent. Your job as a parent is not to control everyone else's reactions. Your your job as a parent is to guide the reactions of you and your children. Right? So when stuff like this happens, how do you teach them to deal with that with with grace and and and humbleness? It'd be like, well, you know what? I was happy to make it for you. And whether you like it or didn't like it, I made it. My heart was in the right place. Here you go. You're not gonna rob my joy with your with your mean grandma tactics. We're moving on. Right? And so like Another great band name, by the way. Dang. Meme grandma tactics.

That's swamp rock. Swamp rock band, the next one. Yeah. I'm just saying if your if your job is to is to raise your kids, then then grandma's reaction is not your problem. And and here's the deal, you gotta let that go too. You're the same person that's gonna have to carry that around every time you see her in the house. Well, she don't like my son's braided gifts. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you seriously, you're the one bearing the weight of this of the grudge that you're holding. And so, like, if you can figure out a way to say, you did a good job, son. Your heart was in the right place. I love that you made that card for grandma. Let's go do the dishes. You know I'm saying? You can frame it just like that and not have to make a huge deal about how they acted or how they received it. Do you see anything wrong with that? I think that you're absolutely right. You know, you can control the way that your son is going to well, at least from the the teaching perspective, what what he sees from this experience. You're not gonna be able to control everyone else. And if you're trying to figure out how to control that, you're just going to set them up for failure. On top of that, I think going back to the original hypersensitivity

that you might be causing to your son, there's nothing wrong with having a sensitive kid. It's it's just it's from the perspective of if you try and control not only his sensitivity,

but then also place expectations of everyone else that everyone is gonna be super excited about everything you ever do, you're gonna set that kid's up emotions for that kid's emotions up for failure because that's not a realistic expectation for that kid to have. It's not realistic for that kid to to think that everyone in the world is gonna be super nice to everything he ever does, and the world's not a tough place. And at six is a perfect time to start teaching them that not everybody's the nicest person on the planet, and you just kinda have to deal with that. That's right. You just can't. That's true. Not here. What is Jesus? You know Teach that kid Jesus and realize, hey, that's the benchmark, but none of us are gonna hit it. You did great. That's right. It sounds overly bible dramatic here about man's approval, but, like, there is some truth to that. Right? Like, you do you do things because because God has been good to you. Right? Like, it's all our reaction to him, not our our attempt to get his approval.

It's it's all our our actions changed because he was great to us. He saved us and he was and we have his love right now. And so, like, whether someone accepts your braided belt that you made or says, I hate braided belts and you're stupid for making it. You go, well, that was fun. Mike, if you ever make me a braided belt, I'm a throw it on the ground and say that was stupid. I'm half done. It because you don't want any other. That's true. And maybe you don't make a braided belt again or whatever. Like, there's lessons to be learned, but, like, seriously, you gotta you're investing I don't wanna have lights. That's right. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. What would make you happy, Randall? Apparently not our braided bracelets. Hey, we were actually my wife and I were actually talking about that last night about about the kids, like our

our kids like to give gifts. Okay? Like they'll make gifts or they give them to to my wife and I, like, we don't care for gifts, right? We don't really care. Like there's other if you want to think the love language stuff, right, like acts of service or affirming words or whatever they are. And, like but but I I was talking to my wife and I thought, one of the things that we need to do better is, like, I don't care about gifts, but those kids certainly cared when they made them. Right? Like, that's what they would have liked, so that's what they made for us. And so you got to kind of see it in that in that light. Right? Like, at some point, you you have the ability to look at things and say, know what they like and I will make it for them. But, like, from certain certain people, if I look at my kids and they spent time making a gift that I don't I don't really care about, be honest with you, if they they spent time making it because that's what they would have liked coming back, like that means something very special to them. Right. And I should be able to react to that and and recognize what they were actually attempting to do as opposed to, hey, did you give me something that I actually care for? Yeah. Nurture their kindness and generosity. Exactly. Alright. A secular says, I can only imagine how your son felt when his grandmother rejected his gifts. It appears your mother-in-law is one of those who dwells more on the price of things than on their value. I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure that's exactly what she thought. You know, son, I know that I gave you at least $10 for Easter, and this is what you came up with. I mean, you're really making a card. Grandma was just kinda just getting over an illness. Yeah. She Yeah. She just kinda like There she is. Well, cancer's gone. Bracelet. Yeah. Well, like Okay. Yeah. Maybe she couldn't physically Yeah. Exactly. Like, she was just kinda tired one day. It was just like, alright. Sorry.

Go ahead. Yeah. How did she become like a greedy a greedy miser? I can't imagine this woman is that kind of a curmudgeon where she's just like, beat a deadly sickness twice, can't appreciate anything still. Right. She forgot what it's like to be a kid. Yeah. Exactly. Truthful. Honestly. Live it live that. It says, if your son was disappointed by the woman's reaction, he needs to not he needs to know that not everyone appreciates creative art, but assure him that you and your mother definitely do and they're not only welcomed but also treasured. So I I I'm gonna agree with some of that, but here's the deal. That type of attitude is what gets a terribly bad singer on American Idol. You know what saying? It's those parents that are like, you do such a good job, Steve. Here's the deal, Steve. You're terrible. And I love you enough to tell you that. I mean, I want No participation

medal. You didn't win. That well, that's the thing. People do this stuff with their kids all the time. They're like, you gotta nurture them. Here's the deal. Steve, you're a bad singer. And I love you, and I want I I I you're my son, but I cannot let you go on TV and completely embarrass yourself because you're awful. You're a terrible singer. You want to try carpentry or something. Yeah. Let's let's do something different. Try look with your hands and all. Exactly. When's the last time you made a knife tip? That's true. It's possible. Thank you. It's possible that Steve just likes to embarrass himself, and then you can nurture that. But otherwise, Steve, you're terrible, and you ain't going on American Idol. Alright. Let's let's do one more. Ready? Yep. Okay. You two feet off each other. Okay. Here we go.

Dear life from the path, I am a gifted introverted Christian 13 year old female with a strong sense of right and wrong. I disagree with some things my parents condemn as sinful. I want to support gay rights and animal rights. My mother, in particular, takes the Bible literally while I am more open. I want to take action to support these causes and I know her right, but I'm afraid she will be angry. I love my mother so much, Life From The Path, and this makes me so sad. Please help me. Oh, that one's heavy.

That one's heavy. Here. Okay. Hold on. We're giving advice to the parent or the kid? The kid asked the question. So we kid asked the question. Yeah. Okay. So this is this is kinda tough because I really, you're gonna have to start over. You're gonna have to start over with Jesus and then and then start there. And then we will talk about the way that the the Bible is used as a hammer sometimes.

Some of some of the positions that she is holding are from the the correct heart but the wrong understanding. You know I'm saying? Like Wait. The the good parent or the or the No. The daughter. The daughter. Like like, I I support gay rights and animal rights. Like, know why she thinks this and why she wants to do this. It's it's a heart for people and a heart for God's creation as animals. Like, it's cool. I get it. Right? And we're just we're just looking at the practical stuff and and missing why God's heart the way the is the way that it is and why he points us to be or live a certain way for our joy and his glory. And we're just missing she's missing the the connect between the two. Why why God promotes things to be in a certain way because it's what ultimately brings the best joy to his kids and the glory to him. And so that's a that's a a bit of a relationship conversation, not a drive by thirty minute or thirty second conversation.

But like, I think it's probably pretty easy to see where that disconnect is coming in. So so but But how do you how do you recommend that she deal with the mother? I don't know if she can until she gets that that part straight first, really. I mean, it sounds like the issues are deeper than just dealing with the mother and the issue. It's the issues themselves,

you know. Right. And I suppose from her perspective though, she probably doesn't seem that way, right, like, she's a I have a strong I have a strong sense of right and wrong, which means which implies that her mother is just wrong. Right? Right. Yeah. And so and so, like, I'm not sure it it depends on the nature of the relationship between the daughter and the mom as to whether you can even have fruitful conversations in there, which is also and this goes back, we talk we had this pretty it was pretty heavy. We talked about this, like, three to four weeks ago, but it's the same reason that, like, you have a hard time convincing people to accept moral right and wrong from a from a Jesus that they don't know. Right. Right? You know Jesus, and then you start reacting to things Jesus says. And then he says things like, I have to care about these types of things, and I need to stop lying and and, you know, only kiss my wife. Like, things of this nature, I'm willing to fall into those things because I love and trust Jesus. But, like, if I don't trust the source, then the the argument on the strength of the right and wrong is irrelevant. Right. And so, like, from a from a relationship aspect,

you know, you're probably not gonna make a lot of headway trying to hammer things back and forth. Like, it's Jesus Jesus really solves those types of things, so he works those things out. Fealty to Jesus then makes me say, alright. Well, if Jesus acts this way or he says, this is how it is, then I got to figure out how does that work then. How do I care about people and then say then have God say, I want you to live differently than what you're living. How do I care about I know I what the animal rights argument is. Don't skin the coyote or something. Yeah. Was gonna say, I I'm trying to figure out, like, a biblical like, even understanding it incorrectly, a biblical perspective that Don't gets take a corncob to the tick. Right. Exactly. That's the wrong way to deal with that. Bible somewhere, please. Right. I I don't I I don't No. No. Maybe not. Yeah. But but but in in either case, like No. Of course. You can No. Go. If you can agree on if she says she's more open, I she doesn't seem like she's bailed on Jesus yet. So I I say, like, from both sides, stick with Jesus and then and then, you know, pursue that together. I the thing is is, like, there's people that that that love Jesus

that are in different places than I would be theologically. Okay? And so, like, that doesn't mean, like, we have to be at total odds at stuff. Either Jesus is working on me or Jesus is working on them, but it and probably both. And so in either case, I think we can live at least consistently knowing that we love and follow Jesus and as long as we're both pursuing that, I feel like that'll shake out. I'll be honest about the things that I think they have a reason to to biblical reason to believe the things I believe, but like I think that's how you're gonna have to keep that relationship with your mom is recognize that that when she if she's coming from the right place, the the heart is well intentioned. Just like my heart would be if I'm talking to someone who doesn't know Jesus, it's like I would want to talk to them about it because I I care enough to do so. Just like you care enough to tell someone that they they suck and shouldn't go on American Idol. You know I'm saying? It's a it's a same it's a same premise, like, I do I love you enough to tell you the truth as I understand it in in ways that I understand it because I love you as opposed to I I'm right and you're wrong and I just wanna make sure we're clear on that. Like, it it really depends on your heart and the matter, depends on the mom's heart and the matter, frankly, it depends on the daughter's heart and matter when you're talking to your mom about those types of things. Right. Grace, do you do you is it easier to understand,

like, when we talk about stuff that Jesus talks about? Is it easier to understand, when we explain why why God's heart is the way it is opposed to just give me the rule and I'll follow it? Is there is there one way that's easier than the other? Say again. Honesty.

Okay. Excellent. There we go. I got I got a little bit of advice on that what I would do. Sure. And now you're kinda asking for it when you pray for this, but, what I think the daughters do is just pray for conviction and pray for pray for the truth. Like, god just shows her the truth. Yeah. I mean, it's you know, he can show you cut and dry what's right and what's wrong. But, I mean, if you pray for conviction and you're serious, you're probably gonna get it. That's true. That was fun. True. And, you know, even if she

ends up believing the that that lifestyle is wrong, which is what I believe, one of the big problems in America today is that everything is polarized. You can't disagree with somebody without hating them. Right. I mean, we see that everywhere. It's ridiculous.

Mhmm. You know, we've we've got friends that that live that lifestyle, and, we don't agree with them, but we love love them tremendously. Absolutely. And they know that too, actually. Yeah. Right. Oh, absolutely. They do. And and, you know, I think that's that narrow path that Jesus was talking about. You know, it's the truth in love, and you can't on one side. You can't have truth without love, but you can't have love without truth either. Right. Yeah. We talked about that quite a bit, in our youth group this last year was, was the concept of of looking at something with with truth and love and having both of those, that duality there.

You know? And I agree with that entirely in America. Even from from the American church perspective, I think that we fight, for for legality of things. Right. And we fight for the American kingdom we live in rather than Jesus' kingdom. Yes. And we spend so much time worrying about what is the law in America versus what's the law that God has written on the hearts of his kingdom. Amen. And why are we trying to affect people's

relationship with Christ through a law and a kingdom that God does not claim to be his own? Mhmm. And think that that's that's one of the biggest draws that we have and the biggest, biggest pieces of, of breakdown we have there. And I think that that's probably and I mean, just just listening to what happens there, I think that that's where one of the biggest draws in that, in that breakdown between the two are. Because, mean, this sounds like this girl is at least trying to read her bible a little bit, and she's probably heard Jesus' words. And I'm I'm a little hesitant when she says I don't take the bible literally because I think that it's perfectly fine to take it literal and still love people and not Right. You can take it literally by Jesus saying, yeah, you're supposed to love them and that's it. And so yeah. But, yeah, I would agree with, I think at 13 years old,

I think you're you're young, still very young. I mean, you have a lot to learn and a lot to grow for, but at the same point in time, I think that, hopefully, you have the relationship with your mother that you can you can start having that kind of conversation. You know, you are you need to be honoring to your mother and you need to be loving to your mother through that and understand that she has an opinion on this for a reason. And maybe you need to step back and take a look at that and say, how can I understand her reasoning? And then maybe talk with her about that, especially if you're expecting her to do that for you. I think it would be a very adult move on your part if you were to try and have a conversation with your mother from that perspective of, mom, it sounds like we disagree on this, and I'd like to know from from a Jesus perspective, I wanna make sure that we're on the same page. I would I would say that

that you should make you should make your own decisions. Yeah. You care you care about one hurt you care about a person, you but you can still affect the world. Yeah. Whatever.

Nice Grace. I agree. You can still affect the world. Yes. Yes. You know, it's weird. Like a lot of those principles show up and even a lot of the conversations that have been going on with stuff that's been happening in the world this week, right? Yes. Like like inability to actually, I wrote a I wrote a couple of things down this week as I was trying to think through this. And like some of it is is like we we just can't seem to have the right conversations

for the right reasons. Right? Like like we're just kind of volleying back crapola and like here's here's the tit for tat thing that I care about. Here's the thing that I care about. Like, we just like, we don't I I was really getting frustrated this week in in broader in in broader context, like a refusal of people to have conversations that don't sit in, the right context. We just we want to narrow things down so much that if

you're also I'll say this directly so you know what I'm talking about like a lot of the argument over the Black Lives Matter stuff, It's like it was bad marketing, right? What they meant and what they intended to affect was Black Lives Matter too and it feels like it's not. It feels like the things that are going on that the lives of black people in The United States seem to matter less, at least from their perspective. And here's the thing, like I you can the people got police statistics on how police are actually engaging with different people. And so it's that's and it's we should be working off true things. Okay? Like, can't run a run a marathon on on false stuff. But, like, you do need to recognize that regardless of of those things, it is how people are feeling. Right? So at least acknowledge that. And in the context that that although they've they've probably got off their own rails by saying things like just black lives matter when they really met, like, matters too,

I I think we should all be there by now though. Like, we we we should stop arguing about that. Like, that was their that was the general intent. Let that sit in the right context of what they're actually trying to affect as opposed to continuing have that conversation as if we don't understand that that sits in the context. And, like, I I I saw so many discussions from people that were not talking about anything that mattered. It wasn't what people were were actually wanting to talk about. Like, there are people that are in pain on both sides, and it's even the even the dichotomy is false. But, like, there there's there's pain and there's misunderstanding, there's distrust in in areas and we're we're just, like, blowing past context of humanity here and we're, like, I wanna be right and I want these people to be wrong. And, like, I've I've never met a person in my life where I didn't say this is a human being. They are they are diverse. They're the way they think about things is deep and gray and complicated. No no one is easily labeled by a particular hashtag, a particular set of events, a particular thing that they believed in or believed in. You know what I you know what I realized this week, Buba? I realized that I was hesitant to like or not like something on Facebook for fear that it would paint

people's understanding of what they think I believe and not believe. And I and and my and then I thought to myself, that's freaking stupid. Right. But then I also thought that is also what people will do. It's exactly what people do. No. You're absolutely right. We we are defined at this point in time by by what people can see and if all people can see is your social media presence and you do something, people are quick to make a judgment based off of that alone. We have we have eliminated a social perspective by

becoming, quote unquote, more connected through through social media, and it's ridiculous. We we have disconnected entirely. If you can look at someone's post and you're you're you whatever you want to look at whatever profile, whatever social media side I may be talking about, and within five tweets or five posts or something like that, you make a a a just statement about who you think they are and you never try and get to know them and you never get any kind of relationship with them, you are being ridiculous. And it it just feels hatred. Oh, absolutely. Unreasonable hatred. If you looked at my Facebook when I was 16

versus now, I was a completely different person. But it's it's you have to get to know me versus just my presence on social media. They could be going through a tough time. You know, when I lost my parents, I didn't post happy happy joy joy Christ stuff. Like, I didn't talk about how much I love Jesus and how much, you know, my relationship with him has sculpted everything that I do nowadays. And and you would see a a dude that was was struggling and stuff like that. And if that's the decision you're gonna make based off me because of of a week worth of tweets or a week worth of, you know, Facebook posts is ridiculous. And so we run to the situation where we now have this rip in in our society because of a hashtag.

It's it's it's sad. It's completely sad. Yeah. You know, one one of the thing the things that, contributes to this to some point too is that we've taken every stance and we've literally brought it to the highest governmental level. Yeah. And we try to take moral issues and then we try to use the Billy Club of the federal government to force it upon people that we don't agree with. And it happens on both sides. Yeah. You know, and it's that that's got to stop too. We got we got to understand that people can live their own lives. Even if you don't agree with it as long as they're not hurting you, not hurting anybody else. That's kind of what the country is founded on. But nowadays it's like either

you want to use the federal government to force people to act a certain way in the bedroom or you want to use force them to give money to a certain cause that you see as noble. And it's we got to get way past that stuff because it's killing our country. Right. Yes. Yes. We're looking for some of our own validation in some of that stuff, right? Like I want my government to look like me. I want my

theological understanding to look like me. I want like all these things to otherwise mirror ourselves. And there's a severe lack of humility in approaching things in that manner that assumes that we know better than what we know. And so like, I suppose if there if I have an encouragement in here then, it is that you need to be real careful on I don't know that I'd hesitate to be posting things and interacting with things in that way, but like you need to make sure you're not taking things in such a shallow way that someone posts something you're like, oh, I know them. I know what they think. I know what they believe. I know exactly where they're coming from. Like, that's silly. Don't know a person by that things. Like, people are extremely nuanced

and you just we need to be careful and, like, have have dinner table conversations. Don't don't line people up and and know who they are based upon even even bits of events that have gone on or what they support or what they don't support. Like, just this is silly. Yeah. What sorry, Mike. What's the advice? Secular says, please don't be sad. Instead, be patient. There's no way to change the thinking of someone who takes the bible or any holy book for that matter, literally. What what are the other holy books? Yeah. I was expecting Do what you can now, but you may have to wait until you are older and on your own to become fully active in the causes you feel are important. Yikes. That's awesome. It's amazing when people that don't believe in truth, you know, project their their truth so clearly.

At all. So definitively. Secular just makes me sometimes. She's having a rough go. She's just makes feel. Couple weeks. Am I what's the what's the next look like? Is it is it basic or Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty quick. Right? Dear life from the past, I have developed a medical condition that requires me to wear adult diapers. That's hard enough for me, but why when you get to the checkout, do they ask, do you want a bag for this? Critter. Of course, I do. I really don't wanna flaunt the fact I wear a diaper all through the parking lot. I'm neither young nor ancient, somewhere in between. What? And I never thought I'd ever use this product before age 80. See, told Critter not to write in and and Dear Critter advice and now here we are. Well, I don't I'm confused. I here's the deal. There's not actually a question in there. Are you just upset at the nice man who's offering to bag your stuff? And in fact, are you here's the deal. If you're trying to hide the fact you wear adult diapers, you might wanna buy more than one thing when you go in right. Yeah. You know what saying? Maybe an online purchase could happen Yeah. And have it delivered in a box to your home. Yeah. If you're not 80, get on Amazon and order yourself a picture of your grandparent out of your wallet or something. Oh.

Oh, murder. That's a story. You know what you should You're in between young and Asian. Act like it. Carry around carry around a small braided piece of jewelry that you'll say came from your six year old grandson. And drop it in front of people. It's not that you don't care Oops. About My grandson made that. By the way, I'll just have those one diapers, please. Thank you. I It's ridiculous. I just say own it, man. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. Own it. Yeah. Those are my Just from a social reaction, reaction, I I totally totally wanna wanna do this now. Yeah. Just like, hey. Do you want get out of bag? No. Keep it out. I want people to know. Can I get one out of there right now, by the way? Because I Yeah. I use one. Hey. Can you can you You can wear them on the inside and the outside of your pants all at the same time. Boo boo boo, you gotta carry it out in victory. Like, two over your head with two hands. This is mine. I am victorious. Yeah. And I'm neither young nor ancient. Yeah. I don't have a medical condition that makes me do that, but that sounds fun. Why would they even print that? That's silly. Yeah. That seems weird to kinda put in. I feel like that's one of those that's just like, no. We really don't need to print that one. That that that one doesn't need to go. Can you imagine the situation this man's in? Or that that he felt like he needed the advice from a from the columnist. Right? Like, he didn't they didn't say live with? They didn't say, hey. You know, what should I do? They just stated a fact, like, when I go and buy embarrassing things from the store, first of all, I only buy that and that only. And then people are like judging me, asking me if I want a bag. Yeah. Just get a bag of mayonnaise or something alongside it. First of all, the guy running the bagger is 14. He's scared to death of you. Yeah.

And that's the truth. He's literally just going off of, do you want a bag? Yeah. Because that's what they taught him to do with twenty hours of instructional videos. And he probably didn't know what you're buying. That's right. He's trying to hold every night going Depends on what? Do you want a bag for that? Do you want a bag oh, I messed it up. Do you want a bag for that? You know what I'm saying? Turns radio off. He's playing around Yeah. For a Should this be inquisitive or just like statement? Like, do you want a bag for that? I don't know. That's here. Probably should have a bag for that. It

seems like a good idea if you had a bag for that. Wish you that. Secular's last advice is whether a customer would like a bag for his or her purchases and a question that baggers ask 100 times a day to the point that it becomes automatic. The way to deal with this potentially embarrassing encounter would be to provide your own carry out bags buying adult diapers. Or you could be a human being and just go, why, yes. I would love a bag. I would take them back. And then walk out on your merry way, not having made the world revolve around you for one Think about this. Think about when you go to the grocery store on a weekly, biweekly basis. Do you know how many people are buying preparation age? A lot. How many times did you notice and point it out and then think something about it? Almost none. Yeah. Okay. I didn't even notice they were buying it, actually. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's what I'm saying. The only thing they notice is milk because they know how they have to ask you if you wanted a bag or not. That's the only thing baggers notice. That's it. Do you get a bag for your milk? Yes. Oh, I do. Oh. Yeah. Well, no. That's because I I I beast I carry, like, I carry everything at one time because I'm lazy but able to lift everything. So I do the one carry. That was all fit in one little spot. Yep. There you go. Yeah. So he's gonna the advice is bring your own bag, preferably one that says, there's definitely not adult diapers in here.

Many shoppers use them as a way to protect the environment. Alternatively, consider ordering the diapers online. Yep. Hey, look. I don't know how you've survived this long, Fred. Yeah. You know I'm saying? Like, these these are pretty easy solutions. I that well, this is half the advice. Like, of the advice we give or the questions that are sent in, I, like, I legitimately understand. Well, I wish you would have a person in your life you could just go ask, but some of them, it's just like, well, I get adult diapers, and I don't like that they'd ask me for a bag. They should just Is this the same person complaining about the kid crying I sure downstairs? That's a that sounds like I wouldn't be surprised if it was a double whammy where he's just like, man, I need two bits of advice to answer. Man, man. Alright.

This is one of our favorite songs, Brandon and my favorite song, believe. I think Steve is yours probably, Marcus? Yes.

Makes you think of sharpening my knives. A couple of things about this song. It's one of the

you know, we have some songs that we talked about that are kinda hidden. The messages are a little bit more buried, you gotta kinda dust off the surface to really figure out what the story and the message is there. This isn't one of those. This one this one is a song from Jesus to an apostle. You know, somebody that's gone into a community and loved the people and done everything to serve

calls them to go to the next place even if they're absolutely in love with those people. He he's they're just obedient to go and and to do and, so this is called bringing you back to life and yeah. And and we have another critter story here. This is from, what, two weeks ago, something like that? Yeah. It was two weeks ago. So we we got bashed at the farm. We left my house at

I got off at 03:30. Got it bashed at the farm. It was hot out there. Bashing. You know? Oh, okay. Alright. It's just starting story. So we were out in the heat. I played. I'd I've been drinking water. And

we were gonna spend the night at Bash, but it was just hot. I was like, man, we gotta get home. I gotta teach a drone lesson, festival, and we had to be there at nine. And so we left AM. We got back to my place at 03:30 in the morning. I got up at five and went and taught my drum lesson, and then I got to this other festival, which was That's a early drum lesson. Yeah. No doubt. Camp Victory. Camp Victory. Yes. We were playing with the unspoken and bread of stone,

and it was unbelievably hot. I mean, I'm drinking water all day. They just pounded and and they said there was gonna be a big storm coming, so they shut the festival down. They brought us into this big shelter thing. And Like a gym. Yeah. It was it was just they had lights on us and everything. And so we get ready to play this song, and he's like, hey. It's Brandon Zanar's favorite song. Was like, yes, sweetheart. I love this song. Absolutely love this song. And I've seen it and I blacked out twice and I I didn't miss a beat. Like, I I just stopped playing,

came back That's true. And hit the snare again and then blacked out.
