I admire you so much for being open about your faith. Oh, thank you. Do you feel like, I feel like you sometimes get sh** for that.

00:07

Do you feel like that's a hard thing? Oh yeah, I sure do. But that's nothing new. That's nothing new, you know.

00:12

If I was of this world, they would love me just like that. But as it is, I'm chosen out of this world. That's John 15, 18 through 20.

00:19

It's the way it is. It ain't nothing new. 2 ,000 years ago, they hated him too. They're the hates the gospel because they love their sin.

00:25

We're seeing this right now today. They hate the gospel because they love their sin. It's all

00:30

God, right? Because we should, as believers, we should go the rest of our life trying to figure out

00:37

God. That should be an everlasting hunt. How did

00:43

I get to here? And man, I was at the gas station and I was just thinking about my auntie and my cousin was there.

00:51

Whatever those coincidences are, that's been my life. And that's what keeps me curious about what

00:57

God has next. Yeah, what's next? My eyes is like a three -year -old, just curious like Christmas. Let me ask you a question.

01:03

Do you have a passion for God? Do you desire him?

01:10

Do you long for him? I just feel like we're in competition right now because they are trying to normalize the devil.

01:18

They are trying to populate. The devil is on the main stage at award shows. Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award.

01:51

Just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight.

01:58

And in every video and signs and symbols. And I said, you know what?

02:24

We need to stop treating our relationship with Jesus like the little buddy that you talk to before you go to bed at night and not be more vocal about all the things that God means to us and all of the things that God has brought us through.

02:39

So don't let anybody tell you that it's not loving if you stand flat -footed and speak the truth about this issue of homosexuality.

02:48

What's not loving is to look someone in the eye when God says they are in jeopardy of an eternity in hell and merely wink and nod at their sin because you're afraid of being called names.

03:00

Speak the truth, saints. Because there's been a lot of moments that you didn't post about.

03:06

But yet, you know, how did God decide to get me through this? And yeah, they going above and beyond to promote the devil.

03:16

And it's pissing me off. Because they used to devil worshipers used to be real secretive.

03:21

Oh, yeah. Going down in the basement, this secret world. Now they just lay on the device too.

03:26

Yeah, I do want to come back and I want to talk to you about Fast 10 as well. We have a world to win.

03:33

We have nations to save. We have dragons to fight. And it can be done, but it cannot be done in the power of a man.

03:42

But it can be done in the power of God. Hey, Big, if you don't mind, man, because so many people in the city that we love and be loved by is carrying a lot.

03:54

And like when we talk about the devil seem to be way more popular than the relationship with Christ.

03:59

If it's possible, man, can I just close this interview out with a prayer for Mama Kim Burrell to bless the city, brother?

04:06

If you don't mind that. Hey, brother, there's no such thing called too much prayer, bro. OK, thank you. No such thing called too much prayer.

04:12

We want Mama Kim Burrell. Kim Burrell, the homelessness out here in L .A. There's so many people who are going through a divorce and foreclosure, homeless.

04:21

They were living their best life. They got degrees on the wall. They got the whole family sleeping in sheds in downtown

04:27

L .A. And even if you imagine the mental, emotional. Yes, psychological warfare has been real for most of us.

04:35

So this is my mama right here. And I just want her to bless everybody with a prayer. Don't don't don't don't crash.

04:42

Closing your eyes, driving. OK, but just receive this prayer from Mama Kim Burrell. Dear God, thank you.

04:48

You're everything to us, everything through us. Without you, we are nothing. Thank you for your love.

04:54

Thank you for your healing. Thank you for your protection. Thank you, dear God, for your guidance for every person that sees and hears this.

05:01

Do more for them. Be more through them. Thank you for all things, God. Jesus's name.

05:07

Amen. Amen. I don't know the details of Chris Pratt and Tyrese's Christian faith, but I was encouraged that they were willing to say true things about Jesus that go against what the culture promotes and celebrates.

05:23

Chris Pratt said he was willing to be hated by the world because the world hated Jesus first.

05:29

And Tyrese spoke out against the blatant Satan worship that we are seeing in more and more of our culture today.

05:36

Similarly, I was very impressed by what Chris Broussard, an American sports analyst and commentator, said to Charlemagne Tha God, host of The Breakfast Club.

05:46

Now, first question, Chris, do you not like homosexuals? I'm fine with homosexuals.

05:53

I have no problem with homosexuals. Obviously, as I stated on ESPN, I'm a

06:00

Christian, but I come across all types of people who are living lifestyles that I may not agree with.

06:07

Not just homosexuals. And I can get along with, you know, people, come across people like that on an everyday basis, obviously covering the

06:15

NBA. Well, as I said during Donkey today, and as we talked about last night on the phone, what makes you so perfect?

06:21

I told you that we're human beings living a spiritual existence. It's impossible for us not to get dirty walking through this thing called life.

06:30

Chris unashamedly speaks the truth about the reality of living peaceably among people who call themselves homosexuals, yet not agreeing with their lifestyle.

06:40

He also brings up the fact that sin is universal and affects every human being. Romans 3 .23,

06:47

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Next, Chris accurately explains the important difference between pursuing

06:55

God versus ignoring God in pursuing sin. Yeah, no, I've never claimed to be perfect.

07:01

That's actually why I called you last night and rapped with you. I think you misinterpreted what

07:08

I was saying. I definitely don't want to come off as that I'm perfect. I'm just striving to be

07:14

Christ -like. That's all I'm saying. And I think that's the mark of a Christian, that we strive to be

07:19

Christ -like. All of us fall and stumble. And I have fallen and stumbled many times since I've been a

07:25

Christian. But I always, you know, repent and ask God for his forgiveness. And, you know,

07:31

I move on from there. I think that's the mark of a Christian. And I think if a person that stumbling and falling while you're trying to live for the

07:40

Lord is different than going out and hunting for sin. My dear friend, there is no such thing as a carnal

07:48

Christian. The Bible never teaches that a person can be a genuine Christian and live in continuous carnality and wickedness and sin all the days of their life.

07:59

Next, Chris unashamedly explains what the Bible teaches about homosexuality.

08:05

First Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9 says fornicators, homosexuals, robbers, thieves, adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God.

08:14

It goes on to list a few other things. Romans chapter 1 says it's unnatural. Obviously, the

08:20

Old Testament talks about it being wrong. But people, you know, like to say, well, it says that in the

08:27

Old Testament, Leviticus, but not in the New. But no, the New Testament, Romans and First Corinthians chapter 6 and a few other scriptures clearly condemn homosexuality, along with all forms of sexual immorality.

08:40

Keep in mind that Chris is a sports commentator, not a pastor. Yet he speaks more truth than many of the most popular pastors in the country today who absolutely refuse to state so clearly what the

08:53

Bible obviously teaches, such as Joel Osteen, T .D. Jakes, and Mike Todd.

08:58

Like an issue like gay marriage, people look to the ministers for leadership. Is that an issue that's for you against the rules?

09:05

Um, you know, it would be. But Mark, I don't, you know, I don't really focus on a lot of those things.

09:10

I try to stay in my lane of what I feel called to do. And that does come up in interviews and things.

09:16

But just don't feel like that. That's not my core message. My core message is how do you have a healthy self -image?

09:22

How do you let go of the past? How do you raise good children? How do you reach your dreams? And trust me, I've talked to enough

09:28

LGBT. They are not all the same. Oh, for sure. No, no. But how do we, first of all, has your thinking evolved on this?

09:37

Evolved and evolving. Evolved and evolving. As a pastor, what do you think about gay marriage?

09:43

I don't know. And you're welcome at Transformation Church. Trans is in the title.

09:50

Transformation. Next, Charlemagne asks about people who are born gay. And again,

09:56

Chris gives a terrific answer that we pretty much never hear from the most popular pastors in the country.

10:02

So what about those that say, okay, I was born gay. So how can you say that I'm a born sinner?

10:07

Like, I'm not asking to be sinful. I'm born this way. This is naturally who

10:12

I am. I mean, first of all, my personal belief is that you aren't born that way.

10:17

I think scientific studies, you have those on both sides. It's really inconclusive.

10:23

But regardless, we're all born in sin. I mean, I was born attracted to women. I'm still attracted to women.

10:29

I'm married, 17 years, never cheated on my wife. But man, I've been tempted, you know what

10:35

I'm saying? And I mean, I covered the NBA. I'm seeing beautiful women all the time. I've had actresses throw me a little rhythm, but I gotta resist.

10:44

I gotta fight against temptation. And that's the life of a Christian, that you fight against the temptation.

10:50

And if you stumble and fall, then you get back up, you repent, you ask God for forgiveness, and you move on.

10:57

And I think that applies to homosexuals as well. If a person who's same -sex attracted, you know, is sincerely trying to live for the

11:05

Lord, and they fall, and they fall in the same -sex relationship or act, and they're really trying to serve the

11:13

Lord, they repent, and they ask for forgiveness, and they keep trying to serve God, and they fall time and time again consistently.

11:20

I believe that person is a Christian. But that's why I said yesterday, it's about unrepentant sin.

11:27

There's a difference. Am I repenting, or am I just saying, yo, this is how I am, God, and I don't care what you say.

11:33

I don't care what you're worth. I'm not even asking for forgiveness. Yeah, because everybody knows that that's how people are born, right? We have the

11:39

LaVey Brain Study, you know, Bailey and Pillard's twin study. We have Hamer's X chromosome study.

11:46

You know, we've got Savick's pheromone study. So of course, I mean, all of these things— by the way, none of these things, none of these things, none of these things— has proven a genetic connection to homosexuality.

11:58

And even if it did, it wouldn't matter. You realize that there is nothing that proves that people are homosexual?

12:06

Like Chris, we as Christians need to tell people the truth that being naturally inclined towards particular sins does not make those sins acceptable.

12:16

We are all sinners who need to fight and struggle against our sin natures, not to earn salvation from God, but because we have been born again by God and have received new natures that now desire righteousness, holiness, and obedience to God.

12:34

Ah, so that we just go on and just live any way we want to? Yes, because when you're

12:41

His, He'll even change your want to. Amen? The true

12:48

Christian is not the one who lives a way he doesn't want to. The true

12:53

Christian is the one who has his want to changed. Amen, somebody? We're transformed and conformed to the very image of Christ so that even our desires are different.

13:05
