Joel Salatin

So we have what we call kind of a church speak.

Words that we use in the faith community that you don't use... You don't hear the word glory on the street much.

No, you don't.

No.

That's reserved for the cathedral and the church.

But the Bible isn't...

isn't like that.

It talks about the glory of old men, the glory of young men, the glory of nations, the glory of things terrestrial, the glory of things celestial, the glory of nations, the glory of kings, the glory of trees.

It uses the word glory in a very visceral way.

It doesn't just spiritualize it into some sort of a Bible study focus group.

And so this is consistent with my idea of that physical creation is an object lesson of spiritual truth.

So God's saying, how do I get them to understand to honor my glory?

Well, glory is the distinctiveness of something.

It's the...

It's the essence of something.

And so the glory of God is holiness, mercy, forgiveness, omnipresence, omniscience, those great big doctrines.

But how do we get somebody to honor that?

Well, so we honor the glory of the pig.

What is the glory of the pig?

Well, he has a snout, so we let him dig.
