Chapter 1: What beach experience did Jase have this week?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. I'm still down here at the Southern Lair. So we're kind of in our boxes today looking at you guys on YouTube. I had experience yesterday, so I know that Summer's here because we have guests that are here, Phyllis' family. Her siblings from Missouri are here this week. And so I went to the beach, which I hadn't done in a while.
You'd think we live next to the beach, so we'd go a lot, but we really don't. It's funny when you start spending more time down here, you don't go quite as much. So I had the ultimate beach read. And you guys are going to appreciate this because I'm holding up the book here for those of you watching. This is our old friend Chad Robichaux.
he's not that old al well that's true but but we are and and he's been a friend for a few years and we love him he's one of our favorite people on the planet would you not agree jace no i would agree i just use that he's not that old because i really had a groundbreaking revelation not a revelation yeah i guess it was revealed to me uh
on where I'm wanting to go today, and it's the opposite of old. So I was trying to drop that in right off the bat.
Oh, you were just setting it up for later. So let me tell you about it. Foreshadowing.
Thank you, Zach. Zach, now we're finally going places because I was looking for a word, and then I didn't think I have a guy who's into words. Foreshadowing.
Foreshadowing. What a word. Can you believe that? That's a celebration, Zach. He just acknowledged you using a word that now he's happy with.
Well, I realize Zach's role in my life with vocabulary because I know all the seven-letter words and lower because of my... Matty's looking confused here. No, it's called Scrabble.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Phil’s bodyguard story?
He was talking, I was like, what? I noticed you kind of bowed up there. He's like, yeah, it's probably been an 11 second operation. That's what he said. Which I found hilarious. Not 10. That's how long it would have taken. Yeah, he just said, he summed up the guy who was being belligerent and he diffused the situation. But when I was like picking his brain...
The fact that he said 11 seconds as opposed to, it's just not a number that I would throw out there. You know, I get it. Eight seconds, you're riding a bull. I would think 10 seconds, you know, just because it's a multiple of 10. 11 scared me. You know what I mean?
The fact that he knew that, exactly.
I think this will be over. In 11 seconds.
Well, look, Zach, we were in, back in the day, we were doing some film stuff for Torchbearer, which was the movie Zach helped write and produce. And we were at the Cannes Film Festival in France. So there were a couple of Navy SEALs that were with us. And, you know, these guys were serious business. So everywhere we would go, they were with us. And, Zach, I don't know if you remember this.
We were walking, kind of in single file mode. And it was a crowd of people. And this guy comes up and he was obviously inebriated in some fashion. And he recognized dad, you know, immediately because dad kind of stood out, by the way, in France. And he comes up and I'm walking right behind dad and he just appears. like right there at us.
And he's like kind of pawing at dad, you know, and like, but he's drunk or high or something. And I mean, there's one of the guys behind us and one is leading us. And I don't know what happened, except that man disappeared. And it didn't take 11 seconds. He disappeared in about three seconds. And we just kind of sped up a little bit because there was something going on we weren't sure.
And I never saw this person. I don't know what happened, but I don't know one thing. When the SEAL stepped in, the problem went away and went away quickly. Do you remember that, Zay? I do, yeah.
It was amazing. I mean, just like I was like, these guys are – Actually, I counted it, and it was 11 seconds. The whole situation.

Chapter 3: How does the story of the woman caught in adultery relate to new beginnings?
You boys heard that season five of The Chosen is coming to Prime Video.
We love The Chosen. And we're proud to announce that The Chosen, they're bringing the gospel to life on screen on Amazon Prime Video. Yeah.
And that is fixing to come out. And we want y'all to watch it. People ask me all the time. what is the best thing about being known and being kind of a famous family? And I always say it's the people that we get to meet that do amazing projects and amazing things. And I'll never forget the first time we met Dallas Jenkins, the creator of The Chosen, who came on our podcast.
And it was just kind of a cold connect to me first, and then I got him over to Jason Missy, and now you guys have become great friends again.
So we met Dallas and Amanda, and my wife and I, we hit it off with them, and we've become friends. We went to the season four premiere in L.A., and then we just went to the season five premiere.
Because we're kind of leading up to the crucifixion now, right? We're getting into those final days of Jesus' life. Here's the way they put it. Loyalties will be tested. pushed to the edge of faith and trust. Friendships will be questioned, challenged, and shaken by uncertainty and doubt. Alliances will be broken. Families are going to be divided. Nothing will ever be the same again.
You will love it. Yeah, I can't wait. It's going to be fantastic. It's a journey of faith, doubt, hope, transformation, and love. Experience the incredible story of one unforgettable night that changed the course of history forever.

You don't want to miss this one. Season 5 comes to Prime Video June the 15th. Don't miss it.
I left one thing out, you know, in my study with Isaiah. Last podcast, I just, my brain wasn't clicking on all cylinders. But... This is fascinating. The reason I kept going to Matthew 5 and 6, where it said, you're the light of the world, because it was kind of a fulfillment of taking the old law and now Jesus fulfilling it, which is in Matthew 5.

Chapter 4: What does it mean for Jesus to make all things new?
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing I have asked of the Lord that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple.
So when you think about the light, it's the illumination of the beauty of God, which is His character. And the way that we actually gain access to that is to actually be in His presence, to dwell with Him, which is the point of that temple motif that we talked about.
So if you go to the end of the Bible in Revelation 21, which is the second, there's only 22 chapters in Revelation, in verse 22, you see the fulfillment of all of this when John the Revelator goes into the temple and listens to the language of temple presence and light. and the nations for that matter in here.
And I saw, he goes into the new city and he says, I saw no temple in the city for its temple is the Lord God, the almighty. So he's the fulfillment of the law, but he's also the fulfillment of the temple and the lamb. And the city has no need for sun or moon to shine in it for the glory of God gives it light. Here's that word light again. And it's lamp is, is the Lamb.
So the actual source of the light is the actual Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night. That picture of light being connected, it's not that Jesus turns on a flashlight and He's pointing it. No, He is the flashlight. He is the eternal light. He is the same flame
that was burning in the bush in Exodus chapter 3. And you see this. The tongues of fire that came on them in Acts chapter 2 in the form of the Holy Spirit. God is light in every aspect of the Word.
Oh, thank you. Where does it say it'll be no night? Which verse was that?
That's Revelation 21.
Oh, I thought you were reading that from Psalm 27.

Chapter 5: How does the law reflect God's character?
So the reason we needed another word, well, the Greeks have it. And it's also used in the New Testament. So that neos is used. But also here's the other one, if I can pronounce it, kainos. And when you read it... It's more about quality. And I'm going to define it in this verse because I have a verse unbeknownst to me that Jesus very cleverly, very, very cleverly used both words.
Yeah.
Oh, I gave a... Jace can set up a text. I gave a midnight amen last night in the dark.
Before you say that, we did a podcast on this... On the Not Yet Now podcast, we did an episode last week on this text that you're going to. So I did not know you were going here, but I am.
Did you say anywhere in that podcast that there are two different words for new? I did not. Well, you missed it.
I didn't miss it. I may have missed that. I didn't miss it.
I know you got the rest of it, but I was just trying to be dramatic. Because, look, I mean, this is.
I didn't. I didn't. I didn't grab that. So that was not in. But we did a whole podcast on this, the new wine, and the new wine skins, and the new garments.
Well, I will give you the smoking gun. This is the get up off the couch, the run from your darkness, and don't go through the door. You're just going right through the wall.

Chapter 6: What is the meaning behind the concept of light in the Bible?
Yeah.
He's like, I'm bringing something new and new. And it's two different news. It's new as far as the time. That's why when you think the time, look, when he says the time has come in Mark 1, because that's Mark 2. But when he said Mark 1, the time has come, the kingdom of God is near. So he's bringing something new. But inside that new coming, there's a new quality of newness.
And here's what's fascinating. The second word is used on a continual basis, as in daily. And I'm going to give you two instances of it. Colossians 3. I mean, this is fascinating to me. Colossians 3 in verse... Now, he had just said in verse 9, and remember, this is, remember the baptism part in Colossians 2, and you were dead, yet you're alive.
And then he's like, set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated, because he's at the right hand. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ. Remember all that? So verse 9, it's like, don't lie. You've taken off the old self. Now watch this. And have put on the new self. Well, guess what? That's the one about the time related. That's the Neo. Which is being, you say that word?
Renewed. Guess which one that is? It's the other one. In knowledge, in the image of its creator. So look, tie that in with time. 2 Corinthians 4, which you read on the last podcast, Al.
Yeah.
Chapter 4, verse 16 of 2 Corinthians. Therefore, we do not lose heart, though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we're being renewed. There's the kainos, the quality, day by day. I mean, that's the gist of what I... what I discovered.
Well, it actually goes into something I've thought a lot about, even the description that Jesus gives of eternal life and his definition of it in John 17, because I think we interpret life in the same way. We think about it only in terms of eternal life, only in terms of a quantitative description.
Yeah.

Chapter 7: What does Revelation say about the new creation?
They will see His face, they will see His character, they will see who He is, and His name will be on their foreheads, and night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light." and they will reign forever and ever. So there's that dominion language.
It's like the whole thing of Genesis 1 with creation where everything was perfect and there was this river that was watering the garden and fruit was being produced and man had dominion and was actually reigning. You know what I mean? This is going to happen at the end of time.
We're actually going to have this dominion again that we, in our sin, we turned over our dominion and gave it to the idols to rule over us. instead of exercising our God-given dominion, we actually gave it away. And so the picture at the end is going to be that God's going to rectify all this through Jesus. So Jill, Cozy Earth, what do you know about them?
