00:03 - Welcome everyone.
00:05 We're excited to share some country wisdom with you. 00:07 - King Solomon had a thing or two to say 00:09 about the path 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 (mellow music) 00:33 (iron clanking) 00:40 We got an amazing program for you tonight. 00:43 It's certainly an interesting location 00:45 and there's a group of people you're going to love to meet. 00:48 And the first one, Marty Miller, 00:50 thank you for being with us. 00:51 - It's good to be here. 00:52 - I have to jump in here with a question. 00:54 - You would, I know. 00:55 - You mentioned it's an interesting location, 00:57 something of an understatement. 00:59 This is what the third man cave 01:02 that the two of you have dragged me into. 01:04 Our next episode if we had needs to be a quilting bee 01:07 or something, but I need to know why I'm even in this place. 01:11 - Why don't you go ahead and tell her? 01:13 - Well, one of my favorite verses is Proverbs 27:17, 01:17 which basically states that as iron sharpens iron, 01:21 so does one man sharpen another. 01:24 And so what I found in working with groups of men 01:28 in small group context is the whole purpose is 01:31 really discipleship. 01:32 And discipleship is an effort to take men where they're at 01:36 and to sharpen them so that they can be more of a tool 01:41 in God's hands. 01:42 And so, the small group is really 01:44 what we're trying to really communicate here. 01:47 And that idea of becoming more like Christ. 01:51 - You actually ended up in this location. 01:53 Tell us about it because you're talking about sharpening. 01:55 I mean, there's probably a lot of pounding 01:56 and everything else that goes on too. 01:58 - Well, this is a little blacksmith shop 02:00 at the back of the campus here in Tennessee, 02:02 near where I live and they have a club 02:06 and they meet once a week. 02:07 And so I just arranged that we would come here and to 02:10 pound some iron and some steel, 02:12 and there's a lot of lessons to be learned in the process. 02:16 - What I want to know is, 02:18 this kind of sounds like a dream of yours 02:20 or you were a little bit driven. 02:21 Can you share a little bit backstory? 02:23 - Well, yeah, I mean, 02:24 I've always enjoyed being with people, 02:26 but I enjoy nature, God's creation and I've learned to say, 02:32 God, what do you want to teach me out of your word 02:34 but also out of lessons from nature, lessons from life. 02:38 And so after 30 years in teaching education, 02:43 I transition to doing full-time men's ministry. 02:48 And I've been excited about that because really it is 02:50 education as well, but it's education about life. 02:53 I taught biology for many years 02:55 and biology is a study of life. 02:57 And I find now that I'm really engaged in helping men 03:01 and myself to have a better life. 03:04 So to me, that's really the, 03:06 the foundation of how I got started. 03:10 - Okay. And have you found some success 03:13 in what you're doing? 03:14 - Yeah, actually for about seven years, 03:16 I've been working in a ministry called Blueprint for Men 03:19 and the reason I feel like God gave me the name 03:22 for that ministry is because men need a plan. 03:25 And ultimately Jesus is the plan. 03:28 He is the blueprint. 03:30 But everybody's life comes into play with genetics, 03:36 life experiences and wherever they come to Christ, 03:39 he takes them where they're at and he says, 03:41 let me help you become who I really designed you to be 03:44 and have that really good life that I promised. 03:48 And so really to me, that's what it's all about 03:52 is seeing that change in a man's life 03:54 just like it happened in my life. 03:56 - I have a question which might be opening the 03:59 proverbial can of worms, 04:01 but why do you think it's important for men to have a group? 04:07 We live in a world that really doesn't want 04:09 men to be men anymore. 04:12 We live in a world where there's a lot of confusion about 04:15 what a real man is, let alone a Christian man. 04:18 So why do you think that men, you know, 04:22 what made you think we need to get together? 04:24 - Well, for my own life, I found that when my wife and I, 04:29 we had children and I was in the crush 04:31 of my teaching career, there was no time for friends 04:37 and I believe it's interesting. 04:38 And I know that in the Bible, this was talking about 04:40 having a spouse. 04:42 It's not good for men to be alone, 04:44 but I think that principle is universal for men and women. 04:47 We're created to be in community. 04:49 And Satan, he's a predator. 04:51 He wants to destroy us. 04:53 And just like any predator, if he can select us out 04:56 and isolate us, we're very vulnerable. 04:58 Look at Samson in the Bible, strongest man, 05:01 the most macho man and he was taken down by a woman 05:04 very easily. 05:06 - Marty, we don't want to interrupt you 05:07 because I know you've gotta go get your guys 05:09 and kind of get started. 05:10 So we'll let you do that. 05:11 Appreciate it. - [Marty] All right. 05:12 Thank you. 05:16 - Hey Janice, how are you doing? 05:17 - Hey, you wrote another book. 05:19 - I did. Had a burden on my heart 05:21 and God helped me get it done. 05:23 - So the Plan of Love, what's it about? 05:27 - Well, it's really about God and eternity. 05:29 Saw everything that was going to happen here 05:32 and his amazing love. 05:34 He says, I'm gonna take care of the problems. 05:36 I'm gonna take care of the situation by giving my own life. 05:39 He did all that, but we've been lied to so much. 05:43 We don't see what God has planned for us, 05:45 what God is doing for us. 05:47 Matter of fact, the angel came down to Mary and said, 05:51 you shall call his name Jesus for he shall save his people 05:54 from their sin. 05:55 Notice it wasn't in, but from. 05:57 - Where can people get the book? 05:59 - Hey, I'm glad you asked. 06:00 Folks, if you'd like your own personal copy, 06:02 log on to TalkingDonkeyInternational.org 06:05 and please, if you would, send us a donation of 06:07 $12 or more - [Janice] or more 06:09 - [Jim] and we'll get you the book 06:11 and I'll be happy to sign it for you too. 06:13 Thank you so much. 06:17 - Well, it's good to see everybody this evening. 06:18 It's our first time getting together with our small group. 06:22 And I always like to of course, start out with prayer 06:25 and then we're gonna do a few introductions 06:27 but let's just bow our heads. 06:30 Father in heaven, we thank you for the opportunity 06:32 we have to gather together as a group of men, 06:34 we wanna be better men. 06:37 We wanna be more like you. 06:38 And as we come together, we invite your holy spirit 06:41 to be here, to guide and direct all of our conversations. 06:44 And as we open your word, 06:46 may you speak to us in a special way today. 06:49 And may we be sharper instruments in your hand, 06:55 in Jesus name. Amen. 06:56 - Amen. 06:58 - Well, I think it's kind of neat to be able to 07:00 have a group meet in a blacksmith shop. 07:02 And I really want to thank Dusty for setting this up 07:05 and we're gonna have some fun a little bit later. 07:08 But I think one of the most important things to do 07:10 before we get started is to do our little introductions. 07:14 Some of you know, each other and some don't. 07:16 So I'll just start it off. 07:18 I'm Marty and I've been doing small groups 07:21 for quite a long time, 07:22 and it's really changed my life 07:24 and I've seen it change many men's lives. 07:27 There's just a brotherhood that 07:30 God designed us to experience. 07:32 And many guys find themselves in a lot of isolation 07:35 by taking a step to be in this small group, 07:38 you are taking the right steps. 07:40 So why don't we just start across here and 07:43 just say your name, maybe something you really enjoy, 07:48 whatever you want to share. 07:50 So just take a short time. 07:52 - My name is Xaver. 07:53 I love motorcycles. 07:56 I'm from Louisville Colorado, that's where I was born. 07:59 Married four years. 08:01 I'm a student for computer science and I love God. 08:07 And I love small men's groups. 08:10 It's been a world of a change for me 08:13 I'm 30 and I wish I was doing something like this 08:19 at least 10 years ago. 08:21 - Glad to have you. 08:22 - Glad to have you Xaver 08:24 - Robert. 08:25 - My name is Robert and I am 08:30 I'm over 50 08:32 and just moved here from Texas about six months ago. 08:39 And I've been getting a lot out of these small groups. 08:44 So my marriage had a crisis in my marriage about 08:47 six months ago. 08:49 And the biggest concept I have, the biggest, 08:59 I guess, concept I've gotten is that, 09:02 so I had a comparison of what it means to be a man. 09:06 Oh, I just, I'm better than my dad. 09:08 I'm better than him. I'm, you know, 09:09 I'm better than all these people. 09:10 I'm in the 99% compared to, you know, mainstream. 09:16 But coming to these groups, 09:19 I've been introduced to a totally different concept. 09:22 It's the biblical standard, 09:23 which is much higher and 09:26 ironically enough, it's much more satisfying. 09:29 My wife is much more satisfied 09:31 in the very short amount of time we turn that crisis 09:34 into an opportunity. 09:36 And our marriage is blossoming 09:38 and we're 15 years in and it's better. 09:41 It's severely better than it's ever been. 09:44 And I'm on a great trajectory. 09:46 So, I get the opportunity to apply the biblical standard 09:50 to my father skills and my husband skills 09:53 and my, you know, being a man. 09:56 So I'm just, I'm very grateful for them, for the groups. 09:59 - Thank you, Robert. 10:00 That was great. 10:02 Dusty. 10:03 - I'm Dusty. 10:06 I've been familiar with small groups on and off. 10:10 Been trying to get to Marty's group 10:12 Blueprint for Men. 10:14 About two years things, life challenges my dad 10:18 and his age and the health challenges 10:21 and things that went with that have prevented me up until 10:24 a short time ago and through prayer and the encouragement 10:27 of another member. 10:31 Finally, one Sabbath morning, I got up and went for it 10:34 and have been glad it's been a blessing 10:37 and a strength to me in many ways, 10:41 in taking on many challenges that I see every day. 10:44 I work with young people every day and 10:48 it's just been good all around and helping me 10:50 make it through the everyday challenges, 10:52 not only at work, but at home and in hobbies 10:57 and other things as well. 11:00 - Thanks Dusty and appreciate you again, setting this up 11:02 so we can have this environment and have some fun. 11:05 John. 11:07 - Yeah. My name is John 11:08 and I am so happy to be here this evening. 11:11 I have been involved in men's groups 11:14 probably since 1999. 11:17 - Wow. 11:18 - And it has just made a huge difference in my life. 11:22 And then being involved with Blueprint for Men 11:25 in the Sabbath morning meetings has just been life changing. 11:29 So I can't say enough good things about small groups, 11:32 about men coming together, being vulnerable to each other, 11:36 trusting each other, holding each other accountable 11:40 is just an amazing thing. 11:42 So I am really excited about what we're gonna be 11:44 talking about this evening. 11:46 - Well, what we're gonna talk about is to me, 11:48 the setting that we're in here, 11:50 and we're gonna take a look at Proverbs 27:17, 11:53 and we're gonna just discuss it for a little bit. 11:55 We've got just a real short study today, but Proverbs 27:17, 12:01 I think most Christians have heard of this verse many times, 12:06 but it's simply this, iron sharpeneth iron; 12:08 So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 12:12 So the principle here to me is that 12:16 we need each other to be better in the way that we are. 12:22 For example, if you go out to cut down a tree 12:25 and you have an ax, 12:27 it's a lot better to have a sharp ax than a dull ax, 12:30 right guys? 12:31 You're gonna work a lot harder. 12:33 So it's more important to take that ax periodically 12:38 and sharpen it, take the time to sharpen it 12:40 and your work will be easier, you'll be more effective. 12:44 And I think that applies in our lives. 12:46 And so I've got right here down here on the floor, 12:51 like an old ax head. 12:52 And when I think of, you know, the state of manhood today, 12:57 I think of really, a lot of guys are kind of 12:59 feeling like this. 13:00 You know, they really have lost their way. 13:03 The handle's broken off. 13:05 Out in the woods, I found this all rusty and dull, 13:09 but with some work, this thing can be all cleaned up, 13:13 sharpened, put a new ax handle in this, 13:16 and it'd be pretty well close to good as new. 13:18 I bet you could make it that way. Right, Dusty? 13:20 - Pretty close. - Pretty close. 13:21 Yeah. You could paint it up and it would be good as new. 13:25 And that that's really, to me 13:28 the message of what God wants us to experience in life. 13:32 He takes us wherever we're at 13:34 and he wants to transform us into his likeness. 13:38 And I appreciate Robert what you share about how 13:41 that transformational power of God's word 13:44 and in your life in a small group concept. 13:50 What about you guys? 13:51 What do you think when you think about something, 13:53 getting sharp? 13:55 I'm gonna pose a question. 13:58 If you're gonna sharpen something, 14:00 is the object you're sharpening it with going to be 14:05 a harder steel or a softer steel? 14:08 What would cause that ax head, 14:11 for example, to get sharpened? 14:13 What would you need? 14:14 - Well if it's a file, 14:16 the file's gotta be hard and it's gotta be sharp 14:19 and it's gotta be able to scrape the metal 14:23 off of what you're trying to sharp. 14:25 - And it takes time. Right? 14:27 - And it takes time, many strokes. 14:29 - Okay. So there's gotta be some time. 14:31 There's going to be - pressure 14:32 - an application of force 14:34 and it's gotta be harder than the other. Okay. 14:38 So how does that apply in maybe, 14:40 did you have something else Dusty? 14:42 - I was gonna say you guys talk about being easier 14:44 and more effective, 14:46 but one of the biggest things that most people get hurt with 14:49 on tools is dull tools. 14:52 We get hurt with more dull when we're not kept up 14:55 than when with a tool is sharper. 14:57 The tool is sharper, people aren't going to have to use 15:00 as much pressure to use it, 15:01 less chance of it coming back at you. 15:03 And it's also just safer. 15:06 So if we're sharper in what the Lord is doing 15:08 and working with us and more in contact, 15:11 we're going to be much more well equipped 15:14 to take on the challenge, whatever that may be. 15:16 - I love it. 15:18 I never really thought about that, but that's a, 15:20 that's a true point. 15:21 - And it takes practice to sharpen the tool 15:25 according to the edge and how it's gonna be used. 15:28 - Right. - Yeah. 15:29 When I was a student in Southern, 15:31 I was the student instructor in the wood shop 15:35 and there was a little saying we had to say, 15:37 a dull instrument is an accident waiting to happen. 15:40 - Interesting. - Oh, definitely. 15:42 - Yeah. 15:43 - So being sharp has safety features as well as efficient. 15:50 So when I think of something being a harder material, 15:53 how does that apply to us here? 15:57 If you know, the idea of water seeks its own level, 16:00 you know, like when you were back in high school, Xaver, 16:03 you know, hanging out with your friends, 16:06 that's kind of dull and dull. Right? 16:08 Kind of dumb and dumber. Right? 16:09 We see this kind of behavior. Right? 16:12 And in some, I mean, 16:13 I know of guys that are probably 50 or 60 years old, 16:16 that probably haven't matured a whole lot since then. Right? 16:20 - Well, it doesn't take 16:23 someone stronger than you 16:25 - Okay. - To help sharpen you. 16:30 Because if I come into a group and I have 16:32 strengths and weaknesses and I have blind spots, 16:35 it just takes somebody that's more awake 16:39 on and he can point out my blind spots. 16:41 That's the accountability, the blind spots. 16:43 That's what I'm trying to expose, get rid of, 16:47 address, which makes me stronger. 16:51 So it is, I don't need somebody super. 16:53 I mean, the spirit of being in the group 16:56 and the people showing up emotionally available 17:00 and engaged, there's a magic that happens. 17:04 There's a process that happens. 17:06 So that's what comes to my mind. 17:08 - You don't have to be the Uber Christian Guy. 17:10 - And there's a risk to be taken. 17:12 - Yeah. 17:13 - You have to take a risk 17:15 to be vulnerable in the first place. 17:17 - Yeah. 17:18 What's showing up is part of it, 17:20 it's the humility to show up. 17:22 And put yourself at, you know, exposure with the group. 17:27 - Talk about life. - Talk about life. 17:30 show up, and then yeah. 17:32 The process that we do, talk about it, 17:36 there's a natural process that goes with that, 17:40 that we can look at all that. 17:41 - In a safe environment. - Right. 17:43 - Safe and confidential environment. 17:45 - It's kind of like, what's said in the blacksmith shop 17:48 stays in the blacksmith shop. Right? 17:50 You know, we all kind of get that 17:53 confidentiality is a key part of a small group experience. 17:56 So we've got a group of guys that are committed 18:00 going in a direction together, 18:02 but we need God's word really, that's going to be the 18:05 ultimate tool where God speaks to our heart 18:09 in a very specific way. 18:11 So Robert, I had to had you have a verse about this 18:15 isn't that right? 18:16 - That's right. - On your item, 18:18 you know, we hardly used real Bibles anymore. 18:22 So you got it keyed up there. 18:24 - I got it keyed up. Okay. 18:26 It was 12, right? - Yep. 18:28 - Hebrews 4:12, 18:31 for the word of God is alive and powerful. 18:35 It is sharper than the sharpest two-edge sword, 18:39 cutting between the soul and spirit, 18:41 between the joint and marrow. 18:42 It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. 18:46 - So guys, let's just think about that. 18:49 How does that strike you? 18:52 I mean, that's almost surgical. 18:55 Any reflections on that verse, 18:57 how it applies to us becoming sharper ourselves, 19:02 but it's almost like there's a surgery going on. 19:04 It's not just this external thing, it's deep. 19:08 - Well, the key to that is God's word. 19:10 - Yes. 19:11 - And if we are spending that quiet time every morning, 19:16 praying before, and then in his word, 19:19 the spirit of God to our mind 19:21 cuts to our heart all the way to the quick 19:24 - Right. 19:25 - And shows us what we need to do or not do. 19:30 - Right. 19:32 - One of the things that text reminds me of is 19:35 the other one where, 19:36 and this is one that is taking me a while to get through 19:39 and really understand and that is that, 19:43 the God has and understands the desires of our heart 19:47 better than we do. 19:50 And if we can figure out how to surrender that to him, 19:54 which is hard to do, because we wanna be in control, 19:57 he will give us desires. 19:58 And when we get down the road aways, we'll look back and go, 20:01 wow, I had no idea. 20:04 I know it has for me, in many different ways. 20:08 And that doesn't mean that I don't struggle. 20:12 But yeah, that's something that really stands out 20:15 is that he really knows us because he was our maker. 20:19 He was the one that knit us together. 20:21 He knows what we want better than we do. 20:24 - So kind of what you're saying is that, that ax head, 20:27 that I had, that was all dull and dirty and stuff. 20:30 He made us in a certain way and we've lost our way. 20:35 And he wants to kind of bring us back 20:38 and make us even better than new. 20:40 - Yeah. 20:42 - I wanted to say something about that verse, 20:43 actually the very first one, and I'm sorry for backtracking. 20:46 I think about a lot of things like iron sharpening iron, 20:51 I think of, you know, 20:53 you have to have a harder compound in order to do that. 20:55 And so, yeah going back to the high school thing 20:58 and the dull and dull, the dumber and dumb, 21:00 if you have these weak people that are representing 21:03 weak metals, you are just gonna dull yourself. 21:07 You're probably gonna end up hurting yourself. 21:08 But if you have somebody who's Christlike or, you know, 21:12 have given their hearts to God, that's a harder well. 21:15 And that's something that you can rub up against 21:18 and get sharper. 21:20 And that's what I believe this small group is about. 21:22 We're becoming vulnerable. 21:24 We're spending time against each other. 21:25 We're rubbing up on each other. 21:26 I might be dull and you might be sharper 21:30 by spending time with you, I'm able to become sharper. 21:33 And then with the second verse, you know, 21:36 God is the sharpest. 21:38 And it's funny because in that verse where it talks about 21:43 God's armor and the Bible being the sword and like, 21:48 God represents the sword with the Bible. 21:51 And so when you read the Bible, 21:53 you can use that as a tool to like carve off 21:58 these sinful things, whatever it might be 22:01 that's causing you to sin. 22:03 And nothing else could do that other than the Bible. 22:07 Cause otherwise it probably lead an infection 22:09 or wouldn't do it the right way, 22:11 but it's like a, such a precise surgical tool. 22:14 Because the way it allows you to see in that mirror, 22:18 the reflection of Jesus and your imperfections. 22:21 And so I just wanted to say that. 22:23 - Yeah. So many things we could say, 22:25 but our time is up right now. 22:27 And I just want to bring this short time to a close 22:33 and then we're gonna go work on pounding some iron. 22:34 And I think Dusty, 22:35 you've got some stuff set up for us. Right? 22:37 - We can. - Yeah. 22:38 So why don't we go ahead and close out with prayer. 22:43 Dusty, would you pray for us? 22:46 - Dear heavenly Father, 22:48 thank you for a chance to get together with brothers. 22:53 - The great Catholic monk, Martin Luther 22:56 was so concerned with his salvation, 22:58 that when in Rome he climbed the holy stairs on his knees 23:03 to earn salvation. 23:04 But when he reached the top, 23:06 God flashed a Bible verse before his mind, 23:09 the just shall live by faith. 23:12 That brings me to the title of a free pamphlet 23:15 that I'd like to give you. 23:17 It's called, Am I Good Enough? 23:19 It's easy to get your copy. 23:21 Go to TalkingDonkeyInternational.org 23:25 and order offer 107. 23:28 Am I Good Enough? 23:29 It will be a comfort for you. 23:34 - Guys, I've gotta, thank you for letting me 23:35 invade your space and listen in on your group. 23:40 You know, early on before the guys got here, 23:42 I was asking you, why did you feel so moved? 23:45 You had to have a men's group. 23:47 You know, what was motivating you 23:50 and why is it this necessary? 23:52 But after observing you, I'm getting a little glimpse 23:56 and I approve now. 23:58 - I'll tell you why I need a men's group, 24:00 cause the women really need it. 24:02 - I had that thought. 24:03 I was watching you guys listening to you and thinking, 24:06 what woman wouldn't want her husband to be here, 24:09 doing what you're doing. 24:12 - There are mostly women that are in fact 24:15 when I speak anywhere 24:17 and talk about this small group experience 24:20 and transformational power of discipleship journey for men, 24:24 I get more amens from women than from men. 24:29 And so women can do a lot to nudge their husbands 24:34 or boyfriends to engage. 24:37 - You know, as I read my Bible, 24:39 God is looking for men who will become Christlike. 24:43 Well, Christ died for us. 24:45 And that's really what the Bible says too about the men. 24:48 You should be willing to die for your wife. 24:51 I'm guessing that you fellows have been in this group 24:53 quite a while, have seen major changes in your families 24:56 in your life. Is that true? 24:58 - [Men] Yeah. True. 24:59 - Anybody care to share with us a little bit about that? 25:02 Yeah. - Willing to share. 25:05 Well, this is my second marriage 25:08 and I was going through a little bit of a rough patch 25:11 about a year ago and that's when I realized I need to 25:14 reach out for God and I did. 25:17 And he led me to a small Bible study group 25:20 who led me to gentlemen, who led me to Blueprint for Men. 25:23 I went to a men's retreat and I gave my life back to God. 25:27 And ever since then, 25:28 I've been sober from so many things in my life 25:31 and it's changed my view of life. 25:34 My life, coworkers, friends, everything. 25:37 I value things more, value my wife more, 25:40 which in turns she reciprocates that. 25:43 Our relationship's better than it's ever been before. 25:46 And I now really know what love is so much so 25:50 that I really would die for her. 25:52 And it's just been amazing and growing up, 25:56 not growing up, you know, growing with these men, 25:59 they're sharp tools and they're helping me become sharper. 26:04 And it's just been amazing and been a blessing cause 26:08 they know so much. 26:09 And I mean, they say that they've been benefiting from me. 26:13 That's hard to believe, 26:15 but I just really have come to enjoy them. 26:18 And that's why I say, you know, 10 years ago, 26:20 I wish I was a part of group like this. 26:22 And I encourage every guy, 26:24 whether you're married or single, have kids or not, 26:26 join a small group like this. 26:29 - Amen. 26:30 I was thinking, you know, you look at the coals and you, 26:31 you pull a coal away from the fire. What happens? 26:34 It starts dying. 26:36 That's why you put all these coals together. 26:38 They're gonna flame and grow. 26:40 Marty, you said it all. 26:42 So Marty, why don't you just tell us, 26:43 tell the audience how they can get in touch with you, 26:46 how they can join a group, how they can, you know, 26:48 fight together with God? 26:50 - Well, we have a website where you can find information. 26:53 It's BlueprintForMen.org and you can initiate 26:56 one of your own groups. 26:57 We've got resources. 26:59 We're can glad to help you engage in your own way. 27:01 But we have online groups as well. 27:03 So there's lots of possibilities. 27:05 - But pretty much guaranteed, it'll change your life. 27:08 Change your marriage. 27:09 - If you invest the time, 27:11 God will always show up and you change your life. 27:13 - And not just marriages, change every relationship, right? 27:18 You guys noticed that? - [Men] That's right. 27:20 - If don't want change, don't join. 27:21 (men laughing) 27:23 - You heard him. 27:24 If you don't want change, don't join. 27:25 But if you want change, join a group. 27:28 Call Marty, get ahold on the website, get ahold of them. 27:31 Your life will change. 27:34 (iron clanking) 27:43 Thank you for watching. 27:44 Join us again for another exciting Country Wisdom. 27:46 - See you next time. 27:48 (mellow music) |
