01:09 Hello and welcome to 3ABN Today.
01:11 My name is CA Murray
01:12 and allow me once again to thank you
01:14 for sharing just a little of your,
01:16 no doubt, busy day with us.
01:18 So thank you as always for your love, your prayers,
01:20 your support of Three Angels Broadcasting Network.
01:23 As together, we join hands
01:25 with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ
01:27 to warn the world that Christ is coming very, very soon
01:30 and that each of us must be ready
01:32 for that grand and glorious day.
01:34 I am excited yea verily today
01:37 for couple of reasons, one, subject matter.
01:41 This is the ministry
01:42 that we sort of kept an eye on over the years and it has...
01:44 I don't want to say morphed as much as it has evolved
01:49 and changed its direction just a little bit and grown.
01:52 And then, I got three young good looking guys here
01:54 to share the stage with me
01:56 and so we are happy about that
01:57 who are all dedicated to the Lord
01:59 and to the work of the Lord.
02:01 We're gonna talk about Little Light Studios,
02:03 that is the name that you have perhaps heard before,
02:05 but may be not in its most recent incarnation dare I say.
02:10 They are doing some good things
02:12 and added some new men and material dare I say.
02:17 We've got...
02:19 Let me get the names here, Scott Mayer
02:21 who's been here many, many times.
02:22 I guess you like Scott or Scotty?
02:24 You know, Scotty works well,
02:26 that's what most people call me so.
02:27 Yeah, Scotty keeps you young,
02:29 you know, when you get Scott, that's when you get grandkids.
02:31 I got to keep that young. Yeah.
02:33 We got Scotty Mayer. We got Mikey Jenny.
02:36 Mikey Jenny sounds like the name of a football player.
02:39 Yeah.
02:40 Quarterback, Mikey Jenny.
02:42 Yeah, Jenny keeps me young as well.
02:46 And let's see Keith Detwieler.
02:49 Yes. Yeah. Detwieler.
02:50 I know a Detwieler kind of thing.
02:53 Anyway, three good guys who've got a lot to say.
02:56 We're very, very excited about what they have to say.
02:58 And I think before we go into our music,
03:02 I want to just jump into
03:03 'cause I am kind of excited about this ministry
03:07 and what you guys are doing.
03:08 So before we go to music, let's get a little background
03:10 because you're kind of the original,
03:11 original guy, Scotty.
03:13 You know, you're like the original guy.
03:17 Give me just a little flavor, where you from?
03:20 How this whole Little Light thing got started
03:22 because you were on a whole other track
03:24 and the Lord kind of snatched you
03:25 and brought you into something else,
03:26 so give me the sort of reader's digest version of that,
03:29 then we go to Mikey and Keith.
03:31 So I grew up in a little town of Paradise, California.
03:34 Maybe, some of you heard of this place called Paradise,
03:36 maybe not
03:38 but it's a very like nice little small town
03:40 in Northern California.
03:42 I grew up with a fascination in film.
03:45 My parents had a little eight-millimeter film camera.
03:47 So my brother and I used to make little stories
03:48 of their neighborhood kids.
03:50 When I got to college, took film studies in college
03:52 and ended up in Los Angeles
03:54 working in the film and television industry
03:56 for a number of years,
03:58 but really lost all connection to my roots as an Adventist.
04:02 I grew up and went through all Adventist schools,
04:04 even through college and just fell into the world.
04:08 And God sent the right people at the right time,
04:10 pulled me out of that... Praise the Lord.
04:12 And I started praying God, what do you want me to do?
04:16 How do you want me to use my gifts and talents for you?
04:18 And we started making little documentaries
04:21 on various different subjects and here we are today.
04:23 Yeah.
04:25 So you did the "Adventist" thing
04:27 all the way through school.
04:28 I did.
04:30 You know, I was a good Adventist so to say.
04:32 You know, little angel from Paradise.
04:35 And, but like most of our youth,
04:39 you know, that go away from the church,
04:41 I definitely just lost interest in,
04:44 and it wasn't that I disbelieved it,
04:47 I just didn't have the heart for it.
04:50 And, so coming back with a new set of eyes,
04:54 I have a real passion for that demographic,
04:57 probably because that was my exit.
04:59 And so we like, you know, creating content
05:02 and aiming at them
05:03 because this church has so many beautiful truths,
05:05 how can we present it to our youth
05:08 so that they don't walk away.
05:10 That's kind of the purpose of Little Light.
05:11 And when Little Light started,
05:13 one of the things I recall that
05:15 it was really kind of had its sight
05:18 on being an evangelistic arm,
05:20 sort of outreach, outreach.
05:22 But the Lord has sort of change, you know...
05:25 You know, the Lord doesn't waste anything,
05:27 He uses our experiences to become part of our resume
05:30 which you well know.
05:32 So since you saw
05:33 how you can be in the Adventist bubble,
05:37 and not be Adventist, or not even be Christian,
05:39 you just doing the Adventist thing.
05:40 That's right.
05:42 One of the burdens of Little Light
05:43 as it has evolved is to go back
05:44 and sort of give those who may be in that same path
05:51 some stability and some roots,
05:54 and I think that's a great, great evolution
05:56 of the ministry.
05:57 That's right. Yeah. Really do. Really do.
06:00 Mikey, did you grow up in a Christian home?
06:03 I did.
06:05 It was more Baptist, you see, you know,
06:06 my parents were raised in Christian schools
06:08 all their life.
06:10 But when I grew up, it just seemed like,
06:12 I mean, I was into the youth and stuff like that
06:14 but when I got to like 12 and 13,
06:16 I thought this is like holding me back,
06:18 and saw MTV, and it looks so fun
06:21 and, you know, I was kind of drawn to that
06:23 and want to do my own thing, you know.
06:26 So I did that for a while and it didn't really,
06:28 it didn't get me anywhere so.
06:31 You know, a lot of the party life
06:33 and trying to escape through drugs and alcohol
06:35 but when I reached rock bottom,
06:38 you know, I really had to cry to God,
06:40 and my cousin inspired me to just read His word
06:43 and stop judging God by all the "hypocrites"
06:45 who represent Him or whatever.
06:47 So when I really started reading His Word for myself,
06:50 that's when I pick my heart
06:51 and I started to pray for things I needed
06:54 and saw God answers supernaturally
06:56 in ways that He knew I needed to see.
06:59 And I couldn't keep running from Him, you know,
07:02 so I realized at that point,
07:05 I was running and it wasn't the questions
07:07 of whether He was there anymore.
07:08 It was just me running
07:09 so I felt like I wasn't good enough to be a Christian
07:13 but one night alone in my house God revealed Himself to me
07:17 in a way that was just so personal to me.
07:21 And I knew it was Him
07:22 that I knew He was meeting me where I was
07:24 that I wasn't going to have to clean myself up to get to Him.
07:27 And that night I accepted Him
07:29 and from there it was a slow growing process,
07:33 that was probably eight years
07:35 where I didn't look like a Christian, you know,
07:37 but I had at least a belief in Him,
07:40 and I prayed to Him and had a personal relationship.
07:42 But over time, God started like giving me
07:46 these real kind of instantaneous
07:49 eye-opening things about the times we're living
07:51 and that kind of made me get more serious.
07:54 And so I came across Little Lights material
07:58 and that was reassuring some of the things
08:02 that God was showing me about agendas
08:04 in Hollywood and things like that.
08:05 And that's what got me really interested in
08:08 and their ministry
08:10 and to be, so want to spread this message
08:13 to the younger generation.
08:15 Now you're from where originally?
08:17 I was born North Carolina.
08:18 I'm an army brat so all over but Chattanooga, yeah.
08:22 I heard the little lilts,
08:23 I know you are native Californian.
08:25 Yeah.
08:27 It occurred to me. So you were...
08:29 Can you class yourself really as a seeker
08:32 as though, you know,
08:34 even though you didn't quite know
08:35 what it was you're looking for?
08:36 You were seeking.
08:38 Yeah, I would never say I was an atheist.
08:40 I was agnostic,
08:41 even as an elementary school I would go to the library
08:45 and I get the paranormal books about ghosts and aliens,
08:47 and I was just so intrigued by that like,
08:49 "What is this? Does it really exist?"
08:52 And I really wanted to know what that was, you know,
08:54 and God just showed me a lot of what that really is now
08:59 and giving me those answers.
09:00 And I believe the answers are in the Bible.
09:01 Praise the Lord.
09:03 And isn't it interesting, Mikey,
09:04 that God will meet you where you are
09:06 on the road that you are on.
09:08 You've come together in ministry
09:10 but your paths are totally different, you know.
09:13 You did the straight up Adventist thing
09:16 and then you came from a whole different kind of deal
09:18 but God met you both at your point of need,
09:20 and then began to walk you into where He wanted you to go.
09:24 You said to me as we were talking before
09:26 that you weren't like broken down at rock bottom
09:30 when God called you, you actually doing pretty good.
09:32 Yeah, I had a clothing line, it was called Execute clothing
09:36 and I print t-shirts with...
09:38 They just looked like rock and roll t-shirts,
09:40 you know.
09:41 And a lot of people were starting to...
09:43 Had a lot of bands and models
09:44 from all over the world wearing them
09:46 and given me free pictures of them wearing on the stuff,
09:51 and so I had all the promotion.
09:53 And I actually went homeless on the road
09:55 to promote this thing in for a year,
09:57 did that and that's how I got the name.
10:00 And started doing a rap project with a guy
10:03 and we were on our way to move to California
10:06 because everything seemed like it was falling in place,
10:09 I mean, some bigger names in the rap industry were,
10:14 you know, giving us attention,
10:15 and we were getting endorsements
10:17 and things like that.
10:18 And so God kind of got me to the point where I'm like,
10:23 in California having a music video shot by a guy
10:27 who worked for MTV
10:28 and get all these models and all the film crew,
10:31 and it's just like, "Wow, this is real."
10:33 And that's when God was like, "Look, how close you are.
10:35 You can have this
10:37 but this isn't what I have for your life."
10:39 So He let me make the decision,
10:41 it wasn't like, "You're my last resort, God"
10:43 it was like, "I am laying it all down for You"
10:45 just like the fishermen drop their nets
10:47 and followed Him, you know.
10:50 There's something to be said for that.
10:51 It is one thing to come to God when you have no other options.
10:54 You are homeless, you're living in your car,
10:56 that kind of thing.
10:57 There's another thing when things are going pretty good
11:00 and at that point God says, "Knock! Knock! Knock! Hello.
11:03 Yeah, I want you to go
11:05 and do something totally different."
11:07 Yeah. Yeah. But you did so.
11:09 Keith?
11:10 Now it's funny, each, as we move along,
11:13 each, each leap of faith is a little stronger
11:18 because Keith really did a leap of faith.
11:20 When we were talking,
11:22 you started talking about family and whatnot.
11:23 Born where, Keith?
11:25 Actually, born in Southern California.
11:27 California guy. Yeah, around Riverside.
11:29 Okay.
11:31 Know that area.
11:32 Christian family?
11:34 Yeah, basically raised in the Adventist church.
11:37 My mom was, maybe Baptists for a little bit of time
11:41 when my parents got married
11:42 but, you know, I never knew anything else.
11:46 Got to about 14, my parents left the church,
11:51 reason being silly reason,
11:53 my dad had an argument with the pastor over
11:55 who's going to do special music and everybody parted ways,
12:01 and we never came back for like 7 years.
12:03 So 14 to 21, which are pretty formative years
12:07 I think for a person, no church at all.
12:11 I mean, we just didn't go anywhere
12:12 and that's where I want to say
12:14 a lot of the influence of the world
12:16 came into our family, my life in particular.
12:20 And I just soaked up all kinds of stuff on TV, and movies
12:24 and, you know, a little bit of video games.
12:29 But then about 21, I had been in school for a couple years,
12:33 went to Missouri Western State University, studying chemistry.
12:37 Met a girl and she was Christian,
12:39 which I thought was odd at a public university
12:41 'cause most of the girls I talked to
12:43 were talking about partying,
12:44 smoking, drinking, whatever,
12:47 and this girl happen to be reading her Bible
12:48 and I was like.
12:50 And she challenged me with a couple things,
12:52 one of them was,
12:54 most people don't know what they believe
12:56 or why they believe it,
12:58 and it got me to thinking,
12:59 "What do I believe and why do I believe it."
13:01 You know, if I would say, I'm an Adventist,
13:04 that's the one thing I would identify with.
13:07 Why would I say that?
13:09 What are those things that make me so
13:11 and where are they in the Bible?
13:13 So I really started studying a lot for myself
13:16 and then challenging her with some of the things
13:18 that I was studying.
13:20 And so eventually, we got married, had children,
13:25 and I came across this material online, Facebook of all things.
13:29 Somebody, friend of mine, his nephew posted a video
13:34 and I watched it, I watched more of it, it was of Scotty,
13:38 and I thought that makes a lot of sense.
13:40 You know, a lot of people,
13:42 you know, they have a hard time
13:44 because their parents tell them, "Don't do this."
13:47 Why?
13:49 You know, a lot of times the why isn't there,
13:52 and I think that's one thing
13:53 that Little Light provides is the why.
13:55 The why.
13:56 Let me ask you a question, Keith.
13:57 When you got married,
13:59 were you doing the "church thing" at all?
14:02 You say she was a Christian... Yes.
14:03 And you had certainly some Christian background.
14:06 Were you moving
14:07 towards the Lord kind of in a holding pattern?
14:09 Definitely.
14:11 No, I was definitely moving toward the Lord.
14:12 In fact, it is interesting because I recognize that
14:17 and I prayed that He would remove this girl out of my life
14:20 if she was going to be a distraction.
14:22 And He didn't, in fact, He confirmed
14:24 that she wasn't going to be a distraction,
14:27 and we got married, and, you know, everything.
14:31 That side is history,
14:32 you know, we had four kids and here we are today.
14:34 But at one point, yeah, I made a decision
14:38 because I felt like God was calling me to ministry,
14:40 applied to Amazing Facts, kind of fell through.
14:46 The job just kind of dissolved, I was like, "Okay, well."
14:48 Now you were working doing what at this point of time?
14:50 Agricultural chemistry.
14:52 Okay. Yeah.
14:53 I worked for a company that was owned by Land O'Lakes.
14:55 So you got a solid job,
14:57 it's not like you're out looking for something to do.
14:58 Yeah, solid job, benefits, you know, that whole thing.
15:02 And it's pretty good company
15:04 and, you know, I guess I could have moved up
15:07 if I played my cards right.
15:09 Probably, would have been better if I went back to school
15:11 and got my masters but.
15:12 Yeah, but you're a chemist,
15:14 I mean they're not going on trees, you know.
15:16 Yeah, it's fairly impressive.
15:17 It was all right. It was all right.
15:20 So, yeah, but I felt a strong call to ministry
15:24 from a young age actually, like about 11.
15:27 And I never really did anything with Him,
15:29 my parents encouraged me to be a doctor
15:30 so when I was in school I was really premed.
15:32 That's why I went to chemistry route.
15:34 And then...
15:37 Yeah, so I seen this opportunity come around
15:41 and thought, "You know, maybe this is it for ministry.
15:45 Maybe, this is what God is calling me to do."
15:47 And I asked him,
15:49 you know, if that's what He wanted me to do,
15:51 He had to sell my house, and He did.
15:55 I mean, I literally only talked about selling my house
15:58 to one person six months prior.
16:01 I prayed that prayer and two weeks later,
16:03 I got a phone call from this lady's daughter,
16:05 and it was somebody
16:06 I would never really talk to that about.
16:09 She's like, "Hey, I heard you're selling your house."
16:11 Yeah.
16:12 She's like, "I am going to come look at it."
16:14 And the whole process happened so fast, it was unbelievable.
16:17 I mean, just within a matter of a couple months
16:20 everything was wrapped up and done.
16:21 Wow!
16:23 But then got through a little hiccup in,
16:25 we had our fourth child
16:26 and we had moved in with my mother-in-law.
16:28 And, you know, it was like hard to find a place in California,
16:31 it's really expensive,
16:33 and when you just quit your job,
16:35 you don't have all these finances available
16:37 at your disposal.
16:38 But by the next year we moved.
16:41 And it was tricky because ministry is tough,
16:45 I mean, it's not always easy and especially, financially.
16:49 I remember the day that Brandon called me
16:51 and he said, "I think you should know
16:53 before you move out here, nobody got paid this month."
16:56 I was like, "I had already quit my job.
16:57 I was moving my family."
17:00 And it was like, "What do I do?"
17:02 I talked to my wife about it
17:04 and I said, "You know what, if I don't do it,
17:05 I will never do it"
17:07 because the devil always put something
17:08 in your way to prevent you.
17:10 Sure.
17:11 And so we did it,
17:12 we talked about it, we prayed about it,
17:14 and we said, "You know, we already have the evidence.
17:15 God has already answered so let's go.
17:17 It can't be like that every month."
17:19 So this is wife and four kids now.
17:21 Four kids. Yeah. Okay.
17:22 So we moved to Paradise and started working,
17:25 and I started learning about what these guys do
17:27 and just trying to be the helping hands
17:29 where they needed to be helped.
17:30 And yeah, so now here I am.
17:35 And you bring a whole different skill set
17:39 because this is technically or basically, a media ministry,
17:43 and you're a chemist, not the tightest of fits,
17:46 you know, in...
17:47 Not exactly. Yeah.
17:49 But you said something to me, Scotty,
17:50 which is something we do here at 3ABN,
17:52 you much more,
17:54 are much more impressed with the feel,
17:56 and the spiritual DNA than necessarily the skill set
18:01 because you can teach stuff
18:02 but the love for God has to be kind of be there already.
18:06 I'm more attracted to someone's heart
18:09 or the reasoned why they want to get involved
18:12 than I am on their skill set,
18:13 anyone can be taught something.
18:15 It's really difficult to teach somebody the right spirit
18:18 of why they're doing what they're doing.
18:20 And when these guys called me up,
18:22 you know, I mean just as random of things
18:25 that they were involved in or they do,
18:28 just in dialoguing with them and listening to them in
18:31 and, you know, really just praying about it.
18:34 I mean, like Keith, you know, on our end
18:36 we like to ask God very difficult questions
18:40 and one of the questions
18:41 that I asked for Keith actually when he came
18:44 'cause we do the same thing on our end,
18:46 "God, if You want us to work with this guy,
18:48 you know, he's got a family of four kids.
18:50 I didn't even know I can provide for him."
18:52 So I said, "I want his whole income
18:54 to show up in my mailbox."
18:56 That month, his entire amount showed up
18:59 in a check from a random foundation,
19:02 never heard of them before
19:03 so, you know, these kind of confirmations to me is,
19:07 doesn't matter what kind of skill set they have.
19:09 If God wants them to work with us,
19:11 there's a reason for that.
19:12 Amen and amen.
19:14 Now before we get into hardcore what Little Light is about
19:18 at this point in time,
19:21 we're gonna go to music
19:22 but I'm so impressed
19:23 because Keith and Mikey both came to you
19:27 watching your stuff.
19:29 You know, it was thing that you had produced
19:31 that they were able to get a hold of
19:33 and that did it for you, is that so, Mikey?
19:35 Yeah. Keith?
19:36 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
19:37 So you got two converts.
19:39 I got two.
19:42 Two proselytes, you got right of the bat.
19:45 Yeah, two believers.
19:47 And you were impressed with what you saw, Mikey?
19:49 Yes.
19:51 Like I said, God had opened my eyes in a big way
19:53 and, you know, people where I heard in church
19:56 them trying to, you know,
19:57 bash this book or that movie, and I was like,
20:00 "This is kids' stuff, you know."
20:01 To me, I couldn't see I had blinders on
20:04 but God had opened my eyes
20:05 and I was like able to see all this stuff instantly,
20:09 and right after that I started doing Bible studies
20:10 with the guy.
20:11 And he saw where I was at
20:13 and he was like, "I think you'd like these guys."
20:14 And he gave me some bootleg material of...
20:20 Praise God, it's getting out there.
20:21 That's right.
20:23 I almost started to give you the new,
20:24 there's a lot of your stuff out there.
20:26 That's kind of...
20:28 Well, it's bootleg.
20:30 We have a saying in our ministry,
20:31 "We are putting it on God's tab."
20:33 That's what we're doing. Indeed.
20:34 Now look where it ended up, you know, so.
20:36 Yeah. Yeah. Praise the Lord.
20:37 You know, Scotty, Mikey, I also want to say Keithy,
20:41 you know, it's kind of a thing.
20:43 But the same with you,
20:45 you saw something that really touched your heart
20:46 and began to pull on some things
20:48 that I guess we're kind of laying back there
20:50 from a long time.
20:51 Yeah, it was the why. Yeah.
20:53 Yeah, because you're doing evangelism now
20:55 which is up front and out front doing the work of the Lord,
20:59 that's front line stuff, and we praise the Lord.
21:01 We praise the Lord.
21:02 How does that make you feel when you look back?
21:04 I have seen all of that original stuff.
21:07 You know, that, you know, it's getting out there,
21:09 it's reaching and actually making changes,
21:13 you know, in people's lives.
21:14 You know, I think when we started the ministry,
21:16 we didn't think about where it was gonna go.
21:19 We were creating things that tripped us up,
21:23 or that we wanted to understand,
21:25 or know, or that we were excited about,
21:28 sort of seen the great controversy
21:30 in our world.
21:31 And, you know, we would make these things in our basement
21:35 and make these things in,
21:36 you know, with sometimes people
21:38 would ask to come over to our studio
21:40 and take a look at it
21:41 and they'd be like, "We thought you guys were a little bigger."
21:46 And, you know, I'm humbled really, honestly
21:50 because when I look back over my life,
21:52 I don't deserve of anything.
21:54 And God has allowed me to have
21:58 a tiny little voice in this war that is around us
22:03 and I just feel honored to be doing what I'm doing,
22:06 and now that doesn't mean everything is cherries and pie.
22:08 Oh, not really. I understand.
22:11 I've never cried more tears, I've never had more pain,
22:14 I've never been more discouraged, depressed,
22:18 I mean, ministry work is hard,
22:21 and that's sometimes what people don't see.
22:24 And, you know, that's why it's important
22:26 to pray for those that are out there in ministry
22:29 and creating things, you know.
22:32 We make videos that share information,
22:36 trying to point people back to the Bible
22:38 and there's a whole world that doesn't want us to do that.
22:41 Precisely.
22:42 Yeah, and an unseen world that doesn't want you to do that.
22:45 I want to go to our music, then when we come back.
22:47 I want you, Scotty, in particular
22:49 to sort of give me an overview
22:52 of what the original focus of the ministry was
22:54 and how you've kind of,
22:56 I don't want to say more evolved into
22:58 to a more inward focus,
23:01 a more spiritual uplift focus
23:02 which is sorely needed by a large segment
23:05 of the Seventh-day Adventist church.
23:07 Our music today is coming to us from Paul Kreisle.
23:12 And he is a good friend of the ministry,
23:15 came in some time ago,
23:17 and he is going to be singing "Be Still and Know".
23:41 Be still and know
23:43 That He is God
23:49 Be still and know
23:51 That He is holy
23:57 Be still oh, restless soul of mine
24:02 Bow before the Prince of peace
24:06 Let the noise and clamor cease
24:13 Be still and know that He is God
24:21 Be still and know that He is faithful
24:29 Consider all that He has done
24:34 Stand in awe and be amazed
24:38 And know that He will never change
24:44 Be still
24:52 Be still
24:56 And know that He is God
25:00 Be still
25:04 And know that He is God
25:08 Be still
25:12 And know that He is God
25:16 Be still, be speechless
25:26 Be still and know that He is God
25:34 Be still and know He is our Father
25:42 Come rest your head upon His breast
25:47 Listen to the rhythm
25:49 Of His unfailing heart of love
25:55 Beating for His little ones
25:59 Calling each of us to come
26:08 Be still
26:16 Be still
26:39 Amen and amen.
26:40 Thank you so much, Paul Kreisle,
26:41 "Be still and know".
26:43 I am here with Scotty Mayers,
26:44 speaker/director of Little Light Ministries.
26:46 Mikey Jenny who is graphics and editing
26:50 of Little Light Studios,
26:52 and the evangelist and speaker is Keith Detwieler.
26:57 Gentlemen, again, good to have you here.
26:58 Scotty, I want you to give me sort of
27:01 when Little Light was launched,
27:04 what the focus was, and how that is kind of evolved,
27:07 and how the Lord has kind of lead you into,
27:09 not a totally different path
27:10 but certainly a nuanced change
27:13 into what you were doing originally?
27:15 Like we talked about a little bit earlier,
27:17 I think the focus for us in the very beginning
27:20 was seeing the great controversy
27:22 in our world
27:24 and that was eye-opening to us.
27:27 So as we were looking over entertainment,
27:30 and these various things, and seen how,
27:32 I mean, there's just this common thread
27:34 through a lot of films that just that...
27:36 There's no other way to explain it
27:38 other than there's a spiritual warfare
27:39 going on around us.
27:42 And we kept going, we're going to reach the world with this,
27:44 we're going to go to the unchurched,
27:46 and they're going to see that there's a real war going on.
27:49 But then God kept sending us
27:50 to these very conservative churches
27:53 where we kept shaking our heads going,
27:56 "First we go to the world
27:57 but why we do keep going to the Adventist churches."
28:01 And then it really dawned on us
28:02 that God has a special purpose for our church.
28:06 And as our ministry has gone down the path,
28:09 we've learned a lot, a lot since the beginning.
28:12 And, you know, we've got really good at pointing out
28:15 what the problem was
28:17 but then, as our ministry is kind of morphed,
28:19 we've said, "You know what really the big problem is,
28:22 is not understanding the solution
28:25 and the solution is
28:26 finding truth in the Word of God."
28:30 And so as we began to kind of change,
28:33 we said, "You know,
28:35 how can we inspire this young generation
28:37 to get back into the Word of God?
28:39 How can we make the beautiful truths
28:42 that have been here for thousands of years
28:44 that have been gifted to our Adventist church,
28:46 how can we present them in a creative manner
28:48 and give them to this younger generation
28:51 that they'll take hold of them,
28:52 and sink them deep in their heart."
28:54 So I think I love creativity,
28:57 I love finding,
28:59 you know, ways that we can add unique ways
29:03 to approach this subject
29:05 but truly our end goal
29:07 is how do you get to fall in love
29:09 with the God of the Bible.
29:11 Amen. Amen. Well said.
29:12 Do you remember some of the titles
29:14 or some of the original video material
29:16 that we all who have consumed it
29:20 are so familiar with just for our audience?
29:22 We've made a lot of videos
29:26 analyzing different subject matters
29:28 that Hollywood has put out.
29:29 So we made one on cartoons called the Magic Kingdom,
29:32 we made one called the Replacement Gods.
29:35 Superhero movies are notoriously,
29:38 you know, spiritualistic in their nature,
29:40 they're always about these end of the world scenarios
29:43 where there's this hero that's going to save humanity,
29:46 I mean, that's very close to what the Bible is so.
29:48 So we called it the Replacement gods
29:49 because what they're really doing
29:51 is they're taking the same concepts of God
29:52 and replacing them.
29:55 And then as we started doing that,
29:56 people would ask about, you know,
29:57 "Oh, my kid plays
29:59 hours and hours of video games."
30:00 So we started a video game series
30:02 called Controller
30:03 which, you know, that's what kids play with
30:06 is a controller to play the video game.
30:07 But what's actually controlling you,
30:10 is it you controlling the video game
30:12 or the video game controlling you?
30:14 So that series really took off on that.
30:16 And then we've kind of split off
30:18 on different topics from there.
30:19 We like documentaries
30:21 so most of our projects
30:22 are in that format of documentaries.
30:25 And we've now moved into a lot of short form things
30:28 that we've put out on YouTube and social media.
30:32 Mikey, do you recall what it was in particular
30:34 that sort of arrested you
30:35 and attracted you to Little Light?
30:38 Like I said, it was like a time in my life
30:41 when I was just the scales fell off
30:42 so it was like perfect timing.
30:43 If I would have seen this stuff five years before that,
30:47 probably never watched it again, you know, right.
30:49 So God has got a perfect timing, you know,
30:51 and it was Gnostic gospels, a little battlefield Hollywood,
30:55 and Magic Kingdom.
30:56 And yeah, I was,
30:59 my eyes were like able to see it
31:01 so when they were showing it, I could see real clearly.
31:03 Yeah. Yeah.
31:04 I've watched Magic Kingdom any number of times
31:06 with my grandson,
31:07 it's just you've ever seen it.
31:08 Anything particular jumped out at you
31:10 when you're watching, Keith?
31:11 I would say probably, Gnostic gospels as well.
31:17 So I was pretty well versed in the Hollywood library
31:20 so when I seen those things,
31:22 it's like immediate recognition of what's going on
31:24 once it was broken down,
31:27 and then later, the Replacement Gods, yeah.
31:29 Yeah. Yeah.
31:30 So, Scotty, a lot of, even Adventist young people,
31:34 don't watch certainly with a critical eye
31:35 and somebody don't know what they're consuming.
31:38 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
31:40 Can those materials still begotten?
31:41 They can. Okay.
31:42 You can find them on our website,
31:44 LittleLightStudios.tv.
31:46 We've put out a lot of things on
31:48 onto YouTube for free,
31:50 so you can see a lot of like smaller versions
31:54 of that same sort of thing
31:55 that kind of keeps up with the current things
31:57 that are out.
31:59 So there's many ways you can find them.
32:00 Okay, we've got some contact information
32:03 coming up a little later
32:04 and we'll let them know where they can get that.
32:08 One of the things that I see here
32:10 that is part of your growth, Video Bible Studies.
32:18 It is a project toward reaching the younger generation...
32:20 And I'm so glad that you guys are still young enough
32:24 to have a burden for the young people,
32:27 and really have locked down on.
32:30 There are other groups in the church
32:32 that are trying to minister to the church.
32:34 And you are another brick in that wall.
32:37 So walk us through what that is all about
32:39 and what it seeks to do?
32:41 Sure.
32:42 The Video Bible Study series is blending video
32:45 with actual print Bible studies.
32:48 So it was designed to give a five minute video
32:51 that is very, you know,
32:53 edited together with graphics in
32:55 and kind of deals with the topic,
32:56 so we kind of bounced off of the idea of
32:59 can we teach this truth in five minutes or less.
33:04 And so in five minutes or less can we show you things like
33:08 why do we need a law?
33:11 You know, why does God allow pain and suffering?
33:13 These are some of the topics that we deal with.
33:16 And then we use YouTube as our main delivery of those
33:21 and we put a link in there
33:23 where people can actually download a Bible study
33:26 that's designed very well like a magazine.
33:29 It has a lot of design elements to it
33:31 so it's very pleasing for the younger generation.
33:35 And if they want to look more into the topic,
33:37 they can see where we got that idea from the Bible.
33:39 So it's really meant to be used in a group setting,
33:42 watch the video, discuss it,
33:43 and then do the Bible study to further your understanding.
33:48 I like that. I like that.
33:49 Have you found for older, more settled Christians,
33:55 "Adventists" per se,
33:58 the kinds of things that trouble them
34:00 are not necessarily the kinds of things
34:02 that their children are wrestling with and are facing?
34:07 For the older "crowd" if I can use that term,
34:11 which day is the correct day,
34:13 those class of things, state of the death,
34:15 Sabbath school, those kinds of things.
34:17 It seems as though
34:18 that younger people are dealing with much more
34:20 rubber meets the road kinds of stuff, you know.
34:23 How do I stay away from drugs?
34:24 How do I, you know, how do I not allow myself
34:26 to get sucked into a lot of stuff?
34:29 So is your ministry trying to address those kinds of things
34:32 in particular, those things that really young people face
34:35 on high school campuses, on college campuses,
34:37 in the workplace once getting out of school?
34:40 And I can sort of put that to Keith
34:41 'cause you're the evangelist.
34:42 So, well, I'm just,
34:44 Scotty and I both speak so we're both out
34:47 speaking to people.
34:49 So this series is a mixture and we call it a series
34:52 because we've done season one
34:54 and we're working on season two,
34:56 the idea is that these will keep going.
34:59 And what we did is we took a mixture of,
35:01 you know, what people would call doctrinal topics
35:04 and we mixed them in with non-doctrinal topics,
35:07 not that they're not biblical topics
35:08 but for example,
35:10 talking about what is Christian humility?
35:13 You know, we live in a world that's very self-absorbed
35:16 and very self-centered,
35:18 so what does it look like to be humble
35:20 from the Bible?
35:22 Sort of tackling those kind of topics.
35:24 In the future, we're looking at things like sexuality,
35:26 and depression, and of course drugs,
35:28 and yeah, just the rubber meets the road stuff
35:31 like you're talking about that people are grappling with.
35:33 I think a lot of them have grown up with hearing,
35:37 maybe the more traditional stuff over and over
35:39 so it seems like, "Yeah, okay, I get that.
35:41 I've got that down."
35:42 But, you know,
35:44 how do I get help in this area I'm struggling with
35:46 and so that's what we're, that's where we're working on.
35:50 I really, really like that.
35:51 You touched on something I would,
35:53 so I would want to hear
35:56 what does Christian humility look like in this world
35:58 where everybody's kind of me, I,
36:00 and I'm getting mine, you get yours best you can.
36:04 Does it mean, you know, we have this bully culture,
36:07 does it mean to just lay down that folk
36:09 kind of walk all over me,
36:10 or how do I stand in for myself in Jesus' name
36:12 and try to, you know, support myself in a world
36:15 that is really antagonistic to those kinds of values.
36:18 That's great stuff. You got something?
36:20 Yeah, I was just going to add to that.
36:23 Another element that when we were producing these
36:26 came about was,
36:27 we developed what's called a master guide.
36:29 And the master guide is designed to help somebody
36:31 who's never led a small group study,
36:33 lead a small group study,
36:34 so all the Bible studies are inside the master guide
36:37 and they have little prompts, little sections,
36:39 where they can take notes or make notes,
36:41 you know, wide margin so.
36:44 They know to start with prayer, to end with prayer,
36:46 those kind of things,
36:48 and so has the answers filled in
36:49 you know for the questions.
36:51 So you can really just drive a small group study
36:54 even if you've never done that before.
36:57 The purpose of giving a Bible study
37:00 is you can't give something that you don't know.
37:03 Precisely.
37:04 So I think it's really awesome.
37:05 I mean, Mikey has so many stories,
37:08 this guy's constantly giving Bible studies.
37:10 I don't think he ever goes home and sleeps actually.
37:13 And the stories that, I mean, he has with teaching them,
37:18 I mean, he's just excited
37:19 but it also, you know, makes him know the information
37:23 so that's why we want to encourage
37:24 this younger generation too as well.
37:26 You know, do the Bible study
37:27 but also, you know,
37:29 if you can and you're willing to,
37:30 then give it to somebody else
37:32 because then, you know, really sinks into to you.
37:37 Okay, spotlight on Mikey now
37:38 'cause I want to move away from the video stuff.
37:40 The Lord has taken your background, your resume,
37:44 and folded it into the ministry,
37:45 also you're like t-shirt guy,
37:47 and I really think that is cool.
37:49 You were saying that occurred to you sometime before,
37:52 but it wasn't, how do you make this real?
37:54 How do you make, you know, t-shirts?
37:55 You can just take a lot of money in the t-shirts
37:57 and lose your shirt, literally, you know.
37:59 But, so Mikey comes along and he's got this expertise,
38:02 let's walk through how that got sort of folded into
38:05 or baked into the cake here.
38:07 Yeah, I'll tell you, you don't make money
38:09 having your own clothing line, I did for a while.
38:12 I was homeless and I never made any profit at all.
38:14 And some models,
38:16 and people trying to talk you down
38:17 on your selling price
38:19 but when you have to pay to have your shirts printed,
38:22 there's all kinds of stipulations
38:23 you've got to have at least a hundred.
38:25 It's got to be under, you know,
38:26 you're paying for every color that's involved
38:28 so you're spending a lot of money
38:30 and not making a lot back.
38:31 So I got interested in printing t-shirts of my own
38:35 'cause I just like the whole art of it, you know,
38:37 it's like being in a dark room back in the days
38:39 when you had to do the whole film processing thing.
38:42 There's a really a lot involved that people don't know about
38:44 but they invited me to do one of these Bible studies
38:47 you're talking about,
38:49 and I kind of just jokingly said,
38:50 "Don't you guys want to start printing t-shirts?"
38:51 And Scotty is like, "Well, your machine fit right here."
38:53 And I'm like, "Yeah, it would."
38:55 So he had...
38:57 I mean, like I said, God timing, you know,
38:59 just everything's come together.
39:02 But it's neat, most of the t-shirts
39:03 that we have been developing
39:05 are religious in nature,
39:07 they're, you know, artistic
39:09 and they're conversational pieces.
39:11 So we kind of really springboard off of,
39:15 you know, you don't have to give a Bible study.
39:17 You can wear a t-shirt that has the Sabbath written on it
39:20 and somebody asks you, "Hey, you know, what is that?"
39:23 Or and so as even simple as a t-shirt can be,
39:27 it can be a witnessing tool.
39:29 And we've enjoyed having Mikey, you know,
39:32 develop some of these things for us.
39:34 Are young people wearing t-shirts?
39:36 Are they buying into that stuff?
39:37 Oh, yeah. Really? Yes.
39:39 Yeah. Yeah.
39:40 I mean, we're all living walking billboards
39:41 for something, you know,
39:43 so we want to be aiming people towards Christ
39:46 so they look at you, so it's a icebreaker, you know.
39:49 It's hard to talk about spiritual things to strangers
39:51 so. Yeah..
39:53 You spend a lot of time on high school college campuses,
39:56 church groups,
39:58 and you take that material with you?
40:00 Yeah.
40:01 Wish you had brought some with you here.
40:02 Yeah, we should have.
40:04 We should have.
40:05 Oh, you have little t-shirts, you know, kind of thing.
40:07 But I think that's a great thing.
40:10 And it first of all, it promotes your brand
40:12 but also it promotes what you're talking about
40:16 salvation wise, you know,
40:17 it broadens that kind of thing.
40:19 So, Mikey, you don't do any talking.
40:21 You're not the speaking guy. You've got a great voice, man.
40:24 I need a little practice, you know.
40:26 I am interested, I'd like to do evangelistic series
40:28 and stuff like that.
40:30 If you have the burden, God will give you the gift,
40:33 you know, it's coming.
40:34 I wanted to get to something
40:35 before our time gets away from us
40:38 and that's video mission,
40:41 that's a whole new sort of wrinkle.
40:42 Who's going to walk me through that?
40:44 Scotty? I'll start it off.
40:46 Keith can add it.
40:48 We have a big need for creative video.
40:51 We've always been small so finances limit us to,
40:55 you know, there's always kind of a direct link
40:56 between how creative you could be in
40:58 and the financing.
41:00 And so all of these media ministries,
41:03 they're all using, you know, stories of Jesus
41:07 or stories of the second coming,
41:09 and we need media to illustrate that.
41:13 So what happened, we talk about, you know,
41:15 Jesus being crucified,
41:16 a lot of times we're limited to a picture.
41:18 But see, kids are used to
41:20 the hundreds of millions of dollars
41:22 that Hollywood is putting into their productions
41:24 and so a lot of times when they see ours
41:26 that are not quite as, you know, expensive looking
41:29 or anything they dismiss the message.
41:32 So Video Mission was
41:33 a Christian stock media website that we developed
41:37 that pools a lot of creative Christian media ministries
41:43 that are out there creating
41:44 really unique and interesting things.
41:46 And it offers it for them to be able to sell it
41:50 so they can sell it and recoup some costs back,
41:52 but then it can be sold on a really low cost
41:56 for the people that need it.
41:57 So as pastors need video clips or pastors need pictures,
42:01 they can go on to this website and purchase them.
42:04 So for example, you're doing a series on the sanctuary.
42:07 So we shot a bunch of stuff about the sanctuary
42:10 and the priest, and putting all these things on there,
42:13 and people need media of that.
42:15 So we can recoup some of those costs back,
42:17 we can use it in our productions
42:19 but then someone from Brazil, or someone from Europe,
42:21 or wherever can also put it in their productions
42:24 and use it as well.
42:25 So you're kind of, I am trying to look,
42:28 think of the right word, like a middleman,
42:30 you provide a place where content can be purchased.
42:34 That's right.
42:35 Like if I was a singer and I wanted a track,
42:37 I would go to somebody who sells tracks,
42:38 you do that for video content.
42:40 That's right.
42:41 But then there's also a lot of kids
42:43 who are really talented with a camera
42:45 but they don't know what to do with it.
42:46 They don't work for a ministry, you know,
42:48 they got a camera and a skill.
42:50 So now they can sit at home,
42:52 create things for pastors to use
42:54 if they're really good at shooting nature things
42:56 or, you know, they're really good at using aftereffects
43:00 and creating CG things
43:02 of various different biblical topics so.
43:05 And make some money too. That's right.
43:07 So one of the things you do is connect consumer with products
43:10 so they have something.
43:11 That is a really great idea. Yeah.
43:13 Yeah, 'cause people who are doing evangelism,
43:15 or other kinds of things, or just want something for,
43:18 maybe their own consumption,
43:20 here's a place where you can go get it,
43:22 kind of a one stop kind of deal.
43:23 That's right.
43:24 Yeah, Keith, do you want to weigh in on this?
43:26 Well, I think a couple of other things
43:28 that are interesting about the project is,
43:31 you know, if you think about young people being in school,
43:34 they spend a lot of money on school these days.
43:38 I mean, you're very fortunate to get out of school debt free.
43:41 And if you think, maybe I go to school for film,
43:44 and animation, and things like that,
43:45 and you rack up a $40,000 bill.
43:47 And you're going to get married,
43:48 your spouse has the same thing,
43:50 and then you want to get a house,
43:51 and other things snowballs.
43:52 And you think about those people,
43:54 what options do they have to pay off all that debt.
43:57 Are they going to be inclined to go into ministry?
44:01 Probably not,
44:02 because ministries tend to be strapped financially,
44:05 it can, you know, have a ceiling,
44:07 and so they're going to look elsewhere.
44:09 And I think a lot of talented young people
44:10 are probably going to places like Hollywood
44:13 because it pays significantly more
44:15 to pay off their school debt,
44:17 and along the way
44:18 they may be not keeping in touch with their roots
44:21 and losing their way, you know, from salvation.
44:24 So I think it helps with that as well.
44:29 We created this a bit out of need
44:32 because when we're doing these Video Bible Studies,
44:34 you think about all the biblical topics we touch,
44:35 all the things we touch, we need to illustrate those.
44:39 So it's kind of like, "Well, if we need to illustrate it,
44:41 we might as well start creating the tools
44:44 for other people as well
44:45 because I'm sure they're having the same problem."
44:48 It's either too expensive or it's not very creative,
44:53 so we want to solve both,
44:54 and kind of take the iTunes approach.
44:57 You know, when iTunes started,
44:58 one of the reasons they started making music so cheap
45:01 is because a lot of music was being pirated.
45:03 Yes.
45:05 Even though oddly enough,
45:06 most of the people who were pirating the music
45:07 were also buying most of the music
45:11 but still they were losing a lot of money.
45:13 So you make a song 99 cents,
45:15 that's in my affordability range.
45:17 Yeah. Yeah.
45:18 It's the same for ministries, you know.
45:20 If a clip is $20, $40 versus $400,
45:23 it's certainly in my range of affordability.
45:26 So we want to give that tool to ministries
45:29 to help them spread the gospel much faster.
45:31 Well done.
45:33 I have a good friend
45:34 who worked in the video library at CNN for many years
45:37 and they will sell you, they will sell you clips,
45:39 You know, and it started about a thousand,
45:41 kind of work their way up, and we're talking 30 seconds,
45:43 we are not talking about full minute, you know.
45:46 And if you've got money to spend
45:47 and you can have as much as you want
45:49 but video pre-done is expensive stuff,
45:52 so that is a great way to facilitate
45:56 what pastors may want to do,
45:57 what evangelists may want to do,
45:58 that is really, really nice stuff.
46:00 We're really just kind of scratching
46:02 the tip of the iceberg.
46:04 Our plan that we're working on is to go to Morocco
46:07 where a lot of these types of biblical things are shot.
46:11 And they have all the sets, all the extras,
46:13 you know, that kind of thing,
46:14 and we're partnering
46:16 with a couple of different organizations
46:17 to be able to do that,
46:18 and go and film for about a week
46:20 which is not very cheap as you can imagine.
46:24 But hopefully, we'll get all the B-roll that we need
46:28 for a certain segment of the Bible,
46:29 and then we can keep going back
46:31 and doing it over and over again
46:32 until we just fill up a whole library worth
46:35 of useful clips for people to do the work.
46:39 And when I say we're just scratching the surface,
46:41 this is just video,
46:42 you think of, there's music, animations,
46:46 think of all the slides and pictures that pastors use,
46:49 you know.
46:50 It would be awesome if I could have something
46:52 that looked like it was straight out of the pages
46:53 of The New Testament
46:54 verses a painting or a picture
46:57 that something did that was from the '60s, you know.
47:00 So we need to modernize the tools
47:01 and update them
47:03 because the people that we need to reach,
47:04 you think about a lot of millennials,
47:06 they have the highest percentage of atheists
47:10 in that generation
47:11 versus the other generations, it's about double.
47:14 And they're not going to take a look at your stuff
47:16 if it doesn't look good.
47:17 No, they're sophisticated consumers.
47:20 And if they have seen some really high end video stuff
47:22 and if you come up with something weak,
47:24 and I mean, you can put it over,
47:25 that's the Lord's blessing on it.
47:26 But their mind is trained to see something a certain way
47:30 and if they're not seeing it, they're going to blow it off
47:32 or they won't respect it,
47:33 and they won't even take time to get to the message
47:36 what they're seeing doesn't entice them,
47:38 so they're not even listening
47:40 because they've already shut down.
47:41 They are being inundated with video.
47:43 You think about YouTube,
47:44 I think it's about one in every five visits on the web
47:48 is YouTube.
47:50 It's the second largest search engine.
47:51 I mean, you're talking about, about 74%, 75%
47:55 of all the internet's traffic now is video.
47:57 Yeah.
47:59 So we've got to reach them where they're at.
48:03 This is very powerful.
48:06 You're kind of like, I don't want to say a startup
48:08 'cause you've been around for a couple of years
48:10 but you are evolving, you're growing,
48:12 and I'm so glad that you've targeted this audience.
48:15 The more ways we can target that particular audience
48:20 in the church
48:22 because if we can motivate them to stand for Christ
48:24 they become the evangelistic tools.
48:26 So you are de facto evangelizing
48:29 because you're preparing evangelists to go out
48:31 and do what they're called to do.
48:32 So praise the Lord for that.
48:34 And we're one little piece of the puzzle.
48:35 Yeah.
48:37 You know, we're trying to link arms
48:38 with all the other creators in our church
48:40 and, you know, there's a lot of talented people
48:43 but we're all fragmented.
48:45 So, you know, if we can kind of come together
48:46 and have more of a pool of talent together
48:51 and work together in a sort of unified version
48:56 of trying to reach the world,
48:58 I think we could really get some steam ahead of us so.
49:01 Agreed.
49:02 Is there, and I was going to ask this question.
49:04 Is there any sort of clearing house
49:06 or agency that brings young talented startups
49:11 or groups with vision together so you can network,
49:13 or do you just have to kind of go out
49:15 and find people of like mind on your own?
49:18 You know, ASI has been around for a very long time,
49:22 and they've taken a lot of us
49:23 younger ministries under their wings
49:25 and really helped us move along as well.
49:29 ASI has been a huge help to our ministry.
49:33 And there is another sort of thing
49:35 that's springing up called Fruition lab
49:38 that is really a bunch of entrepreneurs together
49:43 because sometimes what we don't realize is
49:46 business is as much of a ministry as ministry.
49:50 Like the reason why we're getting involved
49:52 in all these other things is
49:53 because we have all these messages
49:55 that we would love to push out there
49:56 but it takes money. Yes, it does.
49:58 How do we go out and do that?
49:59 We have to create these resources
50:01 and these things that can help us
50:02 achieve those goals.
50:04 And so I would love to see more cohesiveness in our church
50:08 with the business departments
50:10 and those, you know, people who are creative,
50:13 and we need to work together, and blend together,
50:16 and make these things move forward.
50:18 Yeah. Yeah.
50:19 I've had a chance to talk with the guys
50:21 on the set from Fruition,
50:22 I like what they're doing.
50:24 ASI is good but it's general,
50:26 it's across many, many platforms,
50:27 it's almost, you know, any business.
50:30 But I'm thinking particularly of media ministry,
50:34 internet ministry, social media ministry,
50:38 those kinds of things that are attracting
50:40 and holding young people in large numbers, you know,
50:43 coming together and really strengthening themselves
50:45 by sharing ideas
50:47 and sharing those kinds of things.
50:48 That is just great thing.
50:49 You know, ARTV is really stepping up
50:51 and trying to link arms with everyone as well.
50:54 And they're starting to get all the creators
50:56 on video conference calls
50:58 and trying to work us together as well.
51:01 How can we start to develop things together
51:04 and so?
51:05 We're starting to see the group pressed together,
51:08 and I believe that we will see the gospel go into the world
51:12 when we begin to work together.
51:13 In a hundred words or less, Scotty, ARTV is...
51:16 Adventists Review TV. Indeed.
51:18 Yeah, a good friend of mine
51:19 just got began working with them,
51:22 Dee Casper. Oh, yeah.
51:23 Oh, you know, Dee.
51:25 Just talked with him just the other day,
51:26 he's excited about that.
51:27 He hangs out with you. Yes. Yeah.
51:29 I want to go now to the address roll.
51:32 You've heard some of the things that Little Light is doing,
51:35 how the Lord is moving this ministry along.
51:38 They need your prayers,
51:40 they also need your financial support.
51:42 Plus, they have some good video material
51:44 that they already have
51:46 that I think can still be bought.
51:49 The illegal downloads...
51:52 that you can,
51:53 you can sit your children in front of this stuff
51:55 and it's good,
51:57 they will hold them, they will watch them.
51:58 We did this with our grand's some years ago.
52:01 And they watched it, they loved it,
52:03 in fact, they watched it several times since then.
