Unashamed with the Robertson Family
Ep 1005 | The Billy Graham Rule: Is It Wrong for Unmarried Men & Women to Be Alone Together?
11 Dec 2024
Jase breaks away from a potentially disastrous back rub from a woman he didn’t know by using a creative, Jesus-centric excuse. The guys offer examples of their own “Billy Graham rule,” where even the appearance of sexual impurity must be guarded against, especially in ministry. Zach explores the basis of identity politics, where the concept comes from, and ultimately the only healthy source of human identity. The guys explore three avenues of earthly desires that must be reordered to God’s will or they result in anxiety, depression, and pain. In this episode: John 14, verse 23; Hebrews 9, verses 24-25; Romans 8, verse 11 -- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Full Episode
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. We've explained this to you before. To you, you've had a day or two in between. We just have five minutes. We're kind of continuing our discussion. And Jason, we realized when we were getting ready to roll back in. We started your duck hunting story and somehow we got into dad and everything else. Then we never finished.
We never finished. It's another unfinished story.
Well, we were talking about, you know, one of the guys that Phil was instrumental in bringing to the Lord was a guy that we know affectionately as Jersey Joe. And I've helped him in his growth process, not just being a Christian, but just learning how to be a Louisiana person. Right.
Which he now considers himself to be.
He's full Louisiana. And it was a bumpy relationship at first. It took us a few months to get over me saying, which this is going to sound horrible what I said. And maybe I probably should have said it better, but we're men. We're in a boat and there were three very large men in the front of the boat. And the boat was moving at one mile per hour. I told this story in a previous podcast.
And the reason it was going that slow is because these three heavy men were on the front of the boat. And they're so heavy that it actually had the propeller of the motor out of the water. And I waited five minutes as we're drifting. We're just drifting toward the bank. And the propeller's above the water. It's above the water. Because I was waiting for one of them to realize.
We're never getting to the bank unless somebody moves back so the propeller can go under the water. But nobody wanted to be that person. But nobody moved. Nobody thought of it. They're not talking. They're all just looking. And we're literally moving at the pace of the wind. At this point, you're adrift. In that moment of frustration, I said, hey. And they all turned around. I went, hey.
Yeah.
Well, I laughed and I said, well, I was only kidding, but y'all are large individuals and it was a physics problem. So...
