00:03 - Welcome everyone, we're excited to share 00:05 some country wisdom with you. 00:07 - King Solomon had a thing or two to say about the path 00:10 to wisdom in Proverbs 4, he wrote; 00:13 "Let your eyes look directly forward 00:16 and your gaze be straight, before you. 00:19 Keep straight the path of your feet 00:21 and all your ways will be sure. 00:23 - Join us now for country wisdom. 00:26 (upbeat music) 00:34 (bright music) (ball dribbling) 00:43 (ring clanging) (upbeat music) 00:55 You know, in the book of John chapter 1, 00:57 it's speaking of Jesus, 00:58 He was in the world, and the world was made by him. 01:02 The world knew him not. 01:04 He came unto his own and his own received him not. 01:08 I think about you Phillip. 01:10 God made you, you had not a clue. 01:12 You have a very interesting life, 01:14 please share with us today's (indistinct). 01:16 - Oh yeah, so, I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. 01:21 I'm the youngest of eight children 01:24 and I have six brothers and one sister. 01:27 And the only girl, is right above me in age. 01:30 So growing up, we were very close and I grew up 01:34 in a typical inner city neighborhood, 01:37 predominantly black neighborhood. 01:40 And we had good times growing up, you know, we'd play, 01:44 we invent things, but on the other end, 01:47 the neighborhood had it's troubles; violence, crime, drugs, 01:53 you name it. 01:54 And so for me, a way of escape was sports. 01:59 And at a very young age, I played basketball 02:01 and fell in love with the game. 02:03 I played since about second grade up into college. 02:07 - You were obviously built for basketball 02:09 because you're how tall? 02:11 - Yeah, I'm six foot seven. 02:12 - Yeah, there's a basketball player. 02:14 - Yeah, am glad he's sitting down actually but, 02:15 (Janice laughing) 02:16 but that's why we're out here at the park today, right? 02:18 With the basketball court 02:20 and the Reedy to go into the background. 02:21 - Yeah, unfortunately, but yeah I was actually the smallest 02:26 of the siblings then one summer, I just shot up very tall. 02:30 And so around high school, when I was playing basketball, 02:35 I began to see that although I grew up in this big family, 02:41 a lot of my brothers were not present during my games. 02:45 And that affected me a great deal. 02:47 The reason being is many of them were in and out 02:51 of the system, the prison system, 02:53 and unfortunately could not be there. 02:55 So I'm in this big family and I felt 02:59 kind of alone in a sense. 03:01 And so as basketball was my way of escape, 03:03 it slowly was escaping me and my heart 03:06 because I began to lose the love of basketball. 03:13 And so I'm floating through high school, I graduate. 03:15 (upbeat music) 03:16 I get recruited to go to college and I played two years 03:19 in college basketball. 03:20 - So you're good enough that you are recruited. 03:22 - So I was good enough, but I didn't have that confidence 03:25 or that edge to excel me further than that. 03:32 And I think as a result of it, was my depression, 03:33 fell into a deep depression. 03:36 And so two years into playing basketball in college, 03:42 I began to feel this sense of need or longing 03:46 for a relationship with my brothers, us brothers, family. 03:50 And at the same time, my parents, financially, 03:54 there was a burden that I wanted them to prosper 03:58 and be financially stable and their relationship 04:00 with my brothers. 04:02 So after college, I began to lose sight 04:07 on what I wanted and, and all I wanted was 04:10 for my family to be close and for them 04:14 to have that financial stability. 04:19 Now that I'm a young man, many of my brothers 04:21 are out of prison, they're home. 04:24 And so I go back home from college and I start building 04:29 that relationship that I wanted. 04:32 And unfortunately, some of the values that I had, 04:35 I began to lose and I began to associate 04:39 with some of their ideas. 04:41 And of course, well, my brothers are criminal minded 04:45 and as a result of wanting money and this relationship, 04:52 I began to drink heavily, I began to smoke heavily. 04:58 My health was deteriorating at a young age, I'm about-- 05:01 - Drinking, drinking does not help depression. 05:05 - Of course, yeah. - That would make 05:06 that condition even worse. 05:07 - Yeah, and it did. 05:09 I fell in more depression, my health was getting bad. 05:13 I'm about 22 at the time 05:16 and I'm not playing basketball anymore. 05:22 And my brothers, I began to get involved more with them. 05:27 And I got into the street life, began to sell drugs 05:32 and do drugs and at this time, one of my brothers 05:38 who I was with named Michael, we were heading to a bar 05:45 and typical night, we're drinking and I'm drinking heavily. 05:50 I don't even know all I drunk, but I left this place 05:53 in the worst shape in my life. 05:57 And as we're getting in the vehicle, 06:00 there's a car next to mine, as they were leaving 06:03 they exchanged some words to me. 06:07 - So, they're looking for a fight? 06:09 - I don't if looking for a fight, 06:10 I don't know if it was, I don't know what their mind 06:14 didn't know them, didn't see them in the bar, 06:17 but they said something and it bothered me. 06:20 And it was very harsh. 06:22 (upbeat music) 06:23 And so I was like, what did you say? 06:25 And they're driving off, still talking 06:27 as they're driving away. 06:29 (upbeat music) 06:30 So I go into my vehicle in my drunken state, 06:33 I'm looking for my firearm, I grabbed my firearm 06:36 and I walk around my vehicle. 06:38 As they're leaving out, I get some to the grass. 06:43 And I was saying, what did you say? 06:45 And at that time I pointed the gun. 06:50 And then my drunken state, as I pointed the gun 06:54 at the car, something happened where my arm 06:58 went up in the air and when my arm went up in the air, 07:02 I shot twice. 07:03 (gunshots firing) 07:04 - You are implying that, you weren't planning 07:06 on necessarily raising your arm? 07:08 - I don't know what I was planning on, I thought 07:10 I was gonna scare them, or I'm just in this drunk mess, 07:14 I'm angry in my life. 07:16 (upbeat music) 07:18 And I guess I wanted to take it out on something, 07:22 but by God's grace, I didn't, I'm glad I didn't. 07:25 - You shot in the air, instead of at them. 07:26 - I shot in the air, which is not good, 07:29 thankfully, no one was hurt. 07:32 And when I shot in the air, I immediately regretted it. 07:37 And then in my drunken state, I'm going back to my vehicle. 07:41 And I'm trying to leave, I'm out of there. 07:44 And a cop comes behind us and pulls me over, I'm driving, 07:47 and my brother's in the passenger seat, passed out drunk. 07:51 And here I am. 07:53 - And there was the cops. 07:54 - There was the cops. 07:58 - Hey Janice, how are you doing? 07:59 (upbeat music) 08:00 - Hey, you wrote another book. 08:01 - I did, had a burden on my heart and God helped me 08:04 get it done. 08:05 (upbeat music) 08:06 - So, The Plan of Love, what's it about? 08:09 - Well, it's really about God in eternity, 08:12 saw everything that was going to happen here 08:14 in his amazing love, he says, " I'm gonna take care 08:18 of the problems, I'm gonna take care of the situation 08:20 by giving my own life." 08:21 (upbeat music) 08:23 He did all that, but we've been lied to so much, 08:25 We don't see what God has planned for us, 08:27 what God is doing for us. 08:29 Matter of fact, the angel came down to Mary and said, 08:32 " You shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save 08:35 his people from their sins." 08:37 Notice it wasn't in, but from. 08:39 - Where can people get the book? 08:41 - Hey, I'm glad you asked. 08:43 Folks if you'd like your own personal copy, 08:45 Log on to TalkingDonkeyInternational.org 08:47 and now please if you would, send us a donation 08:49 of $12. - Or more. 08:51 - Or more, and we'll get you the book and I'll be happy 08:54 to sign it for you too, thank you so much. 09:00 (gunshots firing) (upbeat music) 09:02 Then Philip, after you ripped off two shots, what happened? 09:06 - What would happen next is, I surrendered 09:09 and the cops showed up. - The cops showed up. 09:13 - They got behind my vehicle and I'm driving, 09:16 my brother's in the passenger seat. 09:19 And I just had so much regret immediately, 09:21 like, what did I do? 09:22 And I see the lights behind me and they tell us 09:25 to get out the vehicle. 09:28 And my brother's a drunk, I'm drunk. 09:30 And I managed to get out, we walked backwards. 09:33 - What'd you do with the gun? 09:34 - The gun was in, there was a gun on the side of me. 09:41 And then those other guns were in the glove compartment. 09:42 - Oh, you had multiple guns. 09:43 - I had multiple guns. 09:45 - And your brother, is he ever had any scraps with the law? 09:48 - Yeah, he has a past history with the law 09:52 and he's been incarcerated before. 09:54 - So he's got real problems to just being with you. 09:56 - Just being with me, yes. 09:58 And so I was the legit person, I was the one 10:00 who did everything right and was a law abiding, 10:04 so I'm driving, but now he's in the situation 10:07 that I put him in. 10:08 (upbeat music) 10:09 And so I had so much regret and we just surrendered 10:12 and we walked backwards. 10:14 They put our hands behind our back and handcuffed us 10:19 and took us to jail. 10:21 - They have guns drawn and everything? 10:22 - They had guns drawn, they made commands. 10:25 And they were waiting for other police to show up 10:30 and other things they were doing and they arrested us 10:34 and took us to jail. 10:37 - Next step, now your jail booking. 10:39 - Yeah, booking and so in the process of booking 10:43 it's standard that they take your vital signs 10:46 and everything and so as the nurse was taking 10:50 my blood pressure, I believe she told me 10:52 that my blood pressure was like 200/160. 10:55 Like, it was hypertension to the max. 10:58 - You were about to have a stroke. 10:59 - I could have had a stroke and the face she made 11:01 when she saw the readings, she was concerned, 11:04 and she went and talked to her other nurses. 11:06 And for the my time there in jail, 11:10 they were monitoring me almost every day. 11:14 And so thankfully, as I was in that process 11:18 and no longer drinking, no longer smoking cigars, 11:22 no longer eating bad food, my health began to increase. 11:26 - Just in that short time. 11:27 - Just in that short time. 11:29 - You mean that-- - So you got 11:30 healthier in jail. 11:31 - I got healthier in jail. 11:32 (Janice chuckling) 11:33 - Amazing, how God built a human body to repair. 11:35 - Exactly, exactly and I thank God for his grace 11:38 and at that time, I'm sobering up, 11:41 my mind is becoming clearer, but then I began 11:45 to be the real, seeing the reality that this is not a dream. 11:52 This is not something that is when I was drunk, 11:54 this is real. 11:56 - And you've got a bad road ahead of you. 11:57 - And I'm in this situation and I don't know 11:59 what's gonna happen, never been in this situation. 12:03 And I was just in a place of, I was at the bottom and so. 12:08 - What happened to your brother? 12:09 Where's he through all this? 12:11 - Well, my brother, well, later on like six months later, 12:17 we go to court, I go to court first and then he went 12:20 after me, but I got sentenced to prison. 12:24 And I don't really know what happened to him, 12:27 but I think he did get a few, a little bit of time, 12:31 but he was on house arrest. 12:33 But like I said, I told the people that he had nothing 12:36 to do with it, and the guns were mine and it was my doing. 12:41 And then I just wanted to make sure that he was okay. 12:43 (upbeat music) 12:44 - Because, you've mentioned to me, really, 12:45 you and I are talking just briefly, 12:47 like he was already a what, a two time felon or something, 12:49 he would have been a three-time loser. 12:50 - Yeah, he would have been a three time. 12:52 - Because of you. - Because of me. 12:53 So I had all this guilt and this weight on my shoulders, 12:56 on my heart and last thing I wanted to do 12:59 is bring any of my family or anybody in to something I did. 13:04 So I began to tell the truth and tell them, 13:07 hey, this is me, this is my fault 13:09 but unfortunately they were still trying 13:12 to get him a third strike or as a violent felon 13:18 or whatever the term was and thankfully 13:21 he didn't get sentenced for that, 13:23 but he did do some time just being with me that night. 13:29 - Then what was that process now, you finally get to court, 13:31 you're sentenced what happened next? 13:33 - So I get sentenced, and in this process 13:35 of being shipped from jail, there's a process 13:39 where it's called RDC, where you go to find out 13:43 where you're gonna serve your time. 13:45 And so, I'm in this place for about two and a half weeks. 13:49 And during this two and a half weeks, 13:51 it's where something interesting happened. 13:55 So when I go first into this cell 13:57 and the cell is only like six by eight, I'm 6'7. 14:00 - I was gonna say tiny cell for you. 14:02 - And then I'm there alone, there's two bunks. 14:05 And when I heard those bars close behind me, 14:11 this is real, this is it, I'm about to go 14:14 through this process. 14:15 I don't know what's about to happen, 14:18 but as I'm pretty much crying at this point, 14:22 and I'm pretty much just in a very deep despair, 14:27 something impressed me to go to the bunk, 14:29 the top bunk of the cell, and I lifted up the mattress. 14:35 - What were you looking for? 14:36 - I don't know, I just felt impressed to do it. 14:39 And I'm looking up underneath the mattress 14:43 and I see all of these books underneath there to read, 14:47 what else are you gonna do, right? 14:49 But one book that stood out to me was a Bible. 14:53 - Oh, wow. 14:54 - And for the very first time, I began to think, 14:56 wow, you know what, I've never read the Bible. 15:00 - Even though you grew up in a Christian home? 15:01 - Even though I grew up in a Christian home, 15:02 I've never read the Bible for myself. 15:05 And so I saw a new King James Version Bible. 15:08 I began to pick it up and read it and keep in mind 15:12 I'm in here for 23 hours of the day, minus going out 15:16 to eat dinner and shower and sleeping. 15:19 - You have nothing to do, but read. 15:21 - Nothing to do but read, and as I'm reading it, 15:24 something begins to happen in my heart. 15:26 And when I thought that this was the end of my life, 15:31 that there was no hope for me, God is saying, 15:34 no, this is not the end, but a new beginning. 15:38 And I began studying it every single day. 15:42 And I started in Genesis and I kept reading 15:44 all through the Bible and I saw in this beautiful storyline 15:48 of God wanting the best for his people. 15:52 And he's wanting to bless them and he's wanting 15:55 to be in their life and he's wanting to dwell with them. 15:58 And I said, wow, what a great God. 16:00 But one thing I noticed with the Israelites 16:02 in the Old Testament where they kept disobeying God, 16:07 and I was thinking I said, why are they so disobedient? 16:10 All God wants to do is bless them and then. 16:14 - It hit you. 16:15 - It hit me, well, what about me? 16:19 Look where I am and so here at the bottom 16:23 in the pitting rock bottom, only place I could do 16:27 was look up. 16:28 And I thank God, for his grace, 16:30 that he was not gonna leave me alone, 16:33 but he will be with me through this process. 16:36 And for these two and a half weeks, 16:37 I had so much peace and the guilt and the shame 16:41 that I brought on my life and my family 16:44 and putting my brother through that was all gone. 16:48 It was as if God is in control. 16:50 - Some people are gonna really have a hard time 16:52 as a change of heart. 16:53 How could, what happened? 16:54 You know I mean you're in a prison cell 16:56 and you're reading it, how could that ever change anybody? 16:58 But you're a living testimony to. 17:01 - Living testimony. 17:02 - Yes, they can. 17:03 - And, the Bible says in Jeremiah 13:23, 17:07 "Can an Ethiopian change his skin 17:10 or a leopard change his spots? 17:12 So how can you do good, who are accustomed to do evil?" 17:18 And here I am, my life is showing what changed me 17:21 from being that to where I am now, only by the grace of God. 17:25 - But you've still got to live it out, you're still going 17:26 through the process now. 17:28 - Exactly, I'm still going through the process. 17:29 So, something began to happen to my heart and naturally, 17:35 I wanted to study more and I wanted to spend my life 17:38 doing what God wanted. 17:40 So when I got shipped to the place 17:42 where I was incarcerated finally, 17:45 again, I began to read the Bible, learning how to pray 17:48 and trying to walk in the truth that I've been reading. 17:51 And something interesting happened during my process, 17:55 there was a person next to me, a bunkie, 17:58 and he was an older fellow, he was about 60. 18:00 And I think he only had 18:02 maybe like a middle school education and he gives me 18:04 this book, he said, "hey, this is a great book, 18:06 you have to read this book." 18:08 And I'm like, " What book?" 18:10 And he shows me the book and it says, 18:12 What Your Fifth Grader Should Know About. 18:14 (laughing) 18:15 And I'm like. 18:16 - A fifth grader? - In my mind, I'm like, 18:17 I've been to college, you know? 18:20 And I put the book on my bunk, I go down 18:22 and play pool and recreation. 18:24 Something is telling me, hey, go read that book. 18:26 And I go up there and I read the book because the one thing 18:29 I was asking God is what happened the last 2000 years. 18:32 What, why so many denominations? 18:35 And I go up and read the book and I get to the book 18:39 part about history. 18:40 And it starts talking a little bit about The Reformation, 18:44 never heard of The Reformation never heard 18:45 of Martin Luther and all these Protestant leaders, founders. 18:53 And so that was a plan that I believe God put in my heart 18:57 to go and search more. 18:59 So I began to search more and more and more. 19:01 - So you spent about a year. 19:03 - About a year. - Studying and praying. 19:04 - Yeah. - And growing, 19:06 you were growing? 19:07 - Yes, yes. 19:09 - What happened, when you got out? 19:13 I mean, what did you do then? 19:15 - Yes, good point, when I got out, 19:18 still I began to try to honor God with my life. 19:22 And when I got out, the lady who's now my wife, 19:29 she was with me through the process of my incarceration. 19:32 I didn't know her when I committed the crime, 19:35 but I met her after that and she stuck with me. 19:39 - I gotta stop you just right, you met her 19:41 after you've been jailed? 19:43 - Yes, so I was in jail and I bonded out 30 days later. 19:48 - Okay, bonded out as in somebody paid or you got bail or. 19:50 - Yeah, I got bail and I bonded out 19:52 and that's when I met her. 19:55 And though when I went to the court 19:56 and was sentenced she's stayed with me. 19:59 - And she was looking for a fun-loving, gun-toting guy and-- 20:02 - Yeah, that was me. - Okay. 20:04 - So, she found what she was looking for, 20:07 but when I got out, she found a different person. 20:09 - You were not the same guy. 20:10 - Not the guy that I was with. 20:11 - No, not at all. 20:12 And so, she was wrestling with this new me and she thought 20:17 some of the things that I was doing was a little weird, 20:19 she'd come home, she'd find me reading 20:21 the Bible, find me praying. 20:23 - Honey, let's go party, no, no, no. 20:25 - Yeah, let's go drink and I'm like, no. 20:28 And so something began to happen in her life as well. 20:32 But during this process, I began to get evicted 20:35 on our lifestyle, I'm living with her, she's now pregnant. 20:39 And I began saying, hey, we're not living right, 20:43 I wanna honor God, he blessed me so much 20:46 and if you go along with this, you'll be blessed too. 20:50 And so we decided to get married. 20:54 At the process of that, I was looking for employment 20:57 and I wanna get on my feet. 20:58 - Having been in jail that probably didn't help. 21:01 - No, it didn't help at all. 21:03 But I kept trusting in God. 21:04 - But you're just getting all of this, 21:06 all this conviction and direction out of the Bible, 21:09 - Out of the Bible. 21:10 And so, and at the process that God is showing me 21:14 these things and my life is being blessed by it. 21:19 I said, Lord, where do I go from here? 21:22 Because I know I need to fellowship, 21:25 but there's so many churches, where do I go? 21:29 And he's began to direct me. 21:30 So I'm praying what happened still last 2000 years, 21:34 why there's so many denominations? 21:37 And then I, one day I was leaving an interview for a job 21:42 and I'm catching the bus, I wasn't too familiar 21:44 with the bus system. 21:46 - You're still in Indianapolis. 21:47 - Yes, still in Indianapolis and I had to transfer 21:50 from one bus to another. 21:53 And when I got off the bus, I saw across the street, 21:59 as the bus passed me, I saw the church and it said, 22:02 Glendale Seventh-Day Adventist church. 22:05 And so I go home, I tell my wife, 22:07 "Hey, I believe I found a church." 22:10 And we go to the church. 22:12 We go that following weekend. 22:15 There was a gentleman who came to the door 22:18 and we introduced ourselves. 22:20 And it was her that he said, "Hey, I detect an accent, 22:25 where are you from?" 22:26 "Oh, I'm from Costa Rica." 22:27 And he said," Oh really, my wife's from Costa Rica." 22:29 And so that was something that God used 22:31 to get her in the church. 22:33 And so when we was introduced to this church, 22:35 we were just loved by the people. 22:37 We saw it was so diverse. 22:39 We was hearing the word of God 22:40 and it was a beautiful thing to experience. 22:44 - So God led you through step by step by step. 22:46 - By step. 22:48 - You're with us here today and I know there's a glow 22:50 in your heart and in your life and we've been talking 22:52 with you and your sweetheart wife. 22:55 Are you happier now than you were in previous times? 22:58 - Oh, very much so. 23:00 - Would you change anything? 23:03 - You know when you think about that experience, 23:04 you wish you didn't do it, of course. 23:06 But what happened in the midst of that and an outcome of it? 23:10 I would not change it. 23:11 - But the amazing thing is that God, you can totally mess up 23:16 your life and God doesn't say, well, you did it 23:20 to yourself and walk away. 23:22 - This is not the felon that's standing here, 23:25 You know, this is a child of God, different person, right? 23:28 - By God's grace. 23:29 - You know, what is there in your life 23:34 that you'd like to share with others? 23:37 Why should they maybe take your journey? 23:39 Maybe there's somebody even in jail, 23:40 who gets to watch this program. 23:42 What would you tell them? 23:44 - You know, being in jail, there's many things 23:46 you can spend your time doing. 23:48 But the best thing that you can do is study God's word, 23:52 get closer to him. 23:54 And not only will he bless you in your time there, 23:57 but he'll work things out in your life 23:59 that you would never imagine. 24:01 And I like that verse that says, 24:02 seek ye the Lord while he's here call on him, 24:06 while he's near. 24:08 And so I would encourage that person while you have the time 24:12 seek God's face, why wait? 24:15 He has so much in store for you. 24:17 - You two in your marriage and before have gone 24:20 through some really interesting times, I imagine. 24:23 - Yeah. 24:25 - For those couples out there, what would you tell them? 24:26 How does God enter into what he's done for the two of you? 24:30 - The way he blessed us is beyond words. 24:34 And I think the best thing that we can do is have Christ 24:37 in the center of our marriage. 24:39 And I wanna encourage that couple to have Christ 24:41 in the center of your relationship. 24:43 He knows things that we don't know, 24:46 and he will give you desires that you will never desire, 24:49 but it will bless your life tremendously. 24:52 - This a little different, but I'd like you to look 24:53 right into that camera and tell people what God means to you 24:57 and how just from the depth of your heart. 25:02 - What God means to me is that 25:05 no matter where you come from, no matter what you've done, 25:10 God is a God of mercy and of love. 25:15 And he will do things in your life 25:16 that you will never imagine. 25:19 The best thing that you can do is give your heart to him. 25:22 He created you and he has redeemed you 25:25 by the blood of Jesus. 25:27 And so honor him with your life and call on him right now, 25:33 in your time of need. 25:35 And he will bless you in a tremendous way. 25:42 - Hey Janice, how are you doing? 25:44 - Hey, you wrote another book. 25:45 - I did had a burden on my heart and God helped me 25:48 get it done. 25:49 (upbeat music) 25:50 - So, The Plan Of Love, what's it about? 25:53 - Well, it's really about God in eternity 25:56 saw everything that was going to happen here, 25:58 in his amazing love he says, I'm gonna take care 26:02 of the problems I'm gonna take care of the situation 26:04 by giving my own life. 26:06 He did all that, but we've been lied to so much. 26:09 We don't see what God has planned for us, 26:11 what God is doing for us. 26:13 Matter of fact, the angel came down to Mary and said, 26:17 "You shall call his name, Jesus, for he shall save 26:19 his people from their sins. 26:21 Notice it wasn't in, but from. 26:23 - Where can people get the book?
