What challenges does Jase face during duck season?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. We are heavy in our study in 1 John. We're deep, deep into the Word.
What lesson does Phil share about being bribed with ham?
We've gone deep, but we've taken some timeouts to try to make this practical from time to time. But it's also duck season. And we're getting toward the end of duck season, which means I'm sleep deprived.
How does Jase demonstrate the duck call invented by Phil?
Sometimes Zach and I worry about your state of mind during these late weeks of duck season.
He brags about getting up early, but he often leaves out the fact that he takes a four-hour nap every day.
I only take four-hour naps when my wife goes out of town because then there's nobody to wake me up.
When you get out of duck season, do you take four-hour naps or do you get back to normal?
Only in duck season. I take a one-hour nap. I get about five to seven hours a night, and then I take a one-hour nap. So now I feel like we're getting to know each other today.
Who is Melchizedek and why is he significant?
Getting to know you. So... I had this, you know, it's duck season turns into, especially when you have low water like we do this year, it's like a shell game. You're trying to figure out where to go, when to go, because you've got multiple places, and you spend a lot of time thinking about these things. And so today I zigged when I should have zagged. Because in our time, we did podcasts yesterday.
What insights does Jewish history provide about salvation?
Now, that means nothing to people who are listening to my voice because they're throwing these podcasts out at various times and places. So don't get all wigged out that, you know, oh, I thought last week he was over there. Well, probably so.
In the unashamed world, what he's saying to his audience is the time continuity means nothing.
It means nothing. We're in a portal. Now, see how I segued that? Nice segue, dude. Because time stands still when it's not live. You can then insert it back in time.
Why do people pursue indestructible heroes?
Kind of like Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. It goes backwards, forwards, and forevermore, which is what I got distracted reading this text because at some point we were making this connection. What does it mean that we have one... speaking in our defense at the right hand of God, Jesus Christ, the righteous one. So we went back to Hebrews and we started looking because that seems to emphasize what Jesus is doing at the right hand of God. And it kind of frames it around as like he's our sin offering, not only on the cross, but in the presence of God as a human, as a perfect human who died for the
How does confidence relate to self-help culture?
sins of all the other humans to make this access possible. Did I accurately depict that? Yeah, I think so. So this is concrete. What I was making the illustration about the duck season, my point was I went yesterday before podcast and we shot 12 ducks, but they were quality, mallards and teal. So I was fired up. And after the podcast, well, I went back. Well, guess what?
What is the difference between justice and forgiveness in life?
Zero. Nothing came. So old Burley is in town, longtime friend. I worked with Burley when I was in my early 20s when he first came to the Lord. And his dad and my dad were friends. And his dad famously got a place in the in the blind with my dad because for 14 days in a row, he brought a ham, a whole ham, an entire ham to my dad's door. And my dad, he would see that because he came bringing gifts. And my dad, the first time he did it, he said, so I guess you want to go duck hunting with me. And he's like, yes, sir. But he had that ham. And my dad said, you know what? You're in. Now, the funny part of that story is so then the next day he woke up and brought another ham and got in the duck blind. But after two weeks of this, he came up.
He's like, well, you have another ham. And my dad said, hey, you can hunt with me, but let's get off the ham. I mean, because a ham, a whole ham, you can't eat a whole ham. Well, no, the hams were being eaten. Look. We had a big family, baby. Well, and the blind's full, and you're sitting there. Back then, we hunted all day. So y'all ate the whole ham.
You're eating a ham a day. A ham a day.
But after two weeks of it? You're kind of like, let's get off the ham.
I just say, get off the ham, and we want roast beef tomorrow. All right.
