Ben Price, Apologist and Comedian

Creation Fellowship Introduction and Prayer

Evening and thank you for joining us. Creation Fellowship in Santee has been meeting for 10 years. Eight years in person and presently online for two years. We're a group of people who come together to learn more about the six-day creation account that happened some 6 ,000 years ago.

Sorry I've got a message here. Some 6 ,000 years ago. You can find Creation Fellowship Santee as a public page and a private group on Facebook. You can watch past presentations on our video platforms at YouTube, Rumble, and BitChute, which is very popular, by searching Creation Fellowship Santee or just CFS 2020.

If you have questions for us or would like to get onto our emailing list, send us an email at CreationFellowshipSantee at gmail .com. That is Creation Fellowship Santee at gmail .com. We're doing a new thing this year.

We are partnering with Throughout All Ages Ministry and I'm going to pass this over to Stacey to tell us about Throughout All Ages, to open us up in prayer, and to introduce our speaker. Okay, go ahead, Stacey.

Welcome, everyone. Thank you so.

Much, Robin. Let's go ahead and open up in prayer. Oh, Lord Jesus, we're just so thankful for you and your glorious creation and how you just hold all things together, Lord. We thank you for our special guest today.

We pray that he will just make us laugh, as we're sure he will, and that you would give him the words to say as he is gifting and as he ministers to us through the power of your word, Lord. We love you.

Thank you for this time. In Jesus name, amen. Didn't want to put you on the spot then. But anyways, I'm Stacey Gaona with Throughout All Ages Ministry. I am the CEO and what we do is go into the public high schools, elementaries, and middle schools and give the kids, help the kids look at their worldview and weigh it out with truth.

And if you would like more information about Throughout All Ages, you can go to ThroughoutAllAgesMinistry .com. We know that 85, the statistics are 65 to 85 percent of kids who grow up in a Christian home walking away from their faith.

And it's because they don't know why they believe in what they believe in. And so I am thrilled to announce my guest. He is a good friend. And it was funny how we ran into each other down in Huntington Beach witnessing and it was with Ray Comfort.

And so Ben Price is known as Australia's best impersonator. Comedian Ben Price has also has an audience rolling over in the aisles with his impersonations with personalities of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donald Trump, Leon Nelson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, sorry about that, and Dr. Phil and many more.

Ben Price was in the movie of Audacity by Ray Comfort. He loves to witness all the time. And he has done several efforts at the ARC Encounter and Creation Museum. He has such a long file. I am not going to get into it because I'm super excited to announce our guest Ben Price.

Welcome Ben Price. Thank you so much for joining us tonight.

Evangelism, Comedy, and Lockdown Life

Oh, Stacey, thank you so much. What a great introduction that was. I'd say out of all the introductions I've ever had, that was one of them. Now that's special. And it's um, I'm so excited to be part of this.

And thank you, everyone for having me here. Yeah, that's right. We did meet at Huntington Beach. And Ray was down there street preaching. And I think it was during the middle of Audacity being made. And it was the Saturday was down there.

And yes, I met Ray Comfort. And.

Ray Comfort's a Kiwi. So he sounds a little bit different to the Aussies. You know, he's a bit different with his accent. We sound more like these Australians. But Kiwis have this, you know, Ray Comfort voice.

And hey, let me ask, are you a good person? So and Ray Comfort's three foot six, and I'm six.

Foot three. So we're like twins. But hey, thank you. It's awesome. And what a what a time to actually join you all in the world right now. It's I've never known. None of us have ever known like this craziness that's going on.

It's like someone said to me, Ben, can you see how divided the world is right now? I'm like, Oh, don't ask me a math question. I'm not I'm not good with math. But and then I figured that out last year, because we had where I live in Melbourne, we had, this is true, nothing to brag about.

But we had the world's longest lockdown, we had not all in a row, but it was consecutive days, it was added up to over 250 days of harsh lockdown. Yeah, it was it was tough. But so we had to homeschool our kids.

Probably some of you, that's nothing new. But for us, it was like I discovered my daughter last year in grade four. Grade four maths is way harder than the first two times I did it. Seriously, but and then they did really well.

My kids, they I got three kids, they did so well, they got a plus on everything. I'm bragging a little bit here. Now they're back at school. I have no idea who's giving them the right answers. But they did well.

It was it was a challenge. My youngest daughter. It's pretty funny, actually, because you got to think of what do we do when you're in lockdown? We're playing indoor tennis. And normally, not no balls inside.

But again, what? It's 2021. Let's play tennis. And so we're doing that. And at the end of it, I'm like, Oh, and I said, I actually said to her, I thought I'd be way hotter than this. And she looked at me because yeah, I don't know what mom saw.

Oh, I've never been more offended. And yet so proud of her at the same time. That was funny. She's a little comedian in the making. So it's fun doing stuff. We couldn't travel this. This is actually true.

This is how harsh you know, you guys have in California have Gavin, we have this. We have another similar guy, Dan, who we couldn't travel more than five kilometers, which is about 2 .2 miles. That's our whole world.

You're not allowed out of there or you get fined. True. So we last year, we couldn't travel more than five kilometers. This year, petrol prices or gas prices, we can't afford to travel more than five kilometers.

You guys have gas in your car, we we put petrol in our car, you know, our English friend, Rachel, you know that, I guess we you know, we put petrol in. It's the same thing. It's exactly the same thing.

I got confused because you go I'll put gas and I'm gonna put gas in the car put gas in the car. You know, fill the tank, you know, that'll last two days these days, but you I didn't know, I thought we have cars that run on gas.

And it's a gas. When you talk gas, it's a liquid. I was like, Oh, so every time they say gas, it's a liquid. It got me confused. Because I thought, what if they say I got gas? Might be a liquid. I need a social distance.

But um, yeah, it's some interesting times we're in. And I, before I I'm going to talk a little bit about some evangelism and, and a couple of stories, but, and you can ask me some questions, but but I thought I'd bring some celebrities and I've already brought, you know, Ray Comfort and, oh, and I should do I should probably do.

Easy as well. Because if you know, Ray Comfort, you probably know easy. And so.

Hey, it's so great to be here. And it was so good to be a part of when they made Audacity and when they got me for a few other things that they did with way of the master. And so but I wanted to bring the president to talk to you guys.

And people like say, well, maybe you know, you go to the Oval Office and we could get Can you do a Joe Biden voice? And I said, I don't even know if he can do a Joe Biden voice. I don't know if he can do it that every time Biden talks.

I feel like he's playing charades. It's like, oh, you know, the you know, the truth and justice and and, you know, the, you know, the thing, man. Come on, man. Two words, you know, he couldn't remember our prime minister's name.

He he said that that that fellow, you know, that fellow down under. But but I have the the former president, still the president, maybe. I don't know. He's all the way in Mar-a-Lago. And it's and I still have.

My office here down in Mar-a-Lago. It's fantastic to see everybody here. Tremendous. What a great night. This is a gathering here on Zoom. It's it's an honor. It's an honor. It's a real honor for you to have me here.

It really is. Believe me. And we're doing so well. The first lady and I, we're going to be back. It's going to be huge. We're going to make America great again, again. And we're going to build walls not along the Mexican border, but along around liberals and Democrats.

Nancy Pelosi, we're going to build walls around these people. It's been very tough, very tough. Couple of years with the China virus. And it's been very tough. You know, we had the virus in Melania. My first lady did very well.

Tremendous. She did so well. She finished three books during quarantine, which I thought was a lot of coloring. Believe me, it really was. And it's great to be having a Bible study. I love the Bible. Nehemiah was probably my favorite book because he built a huge wall around Jerusalem.

And I also like two Corinthians and David. David was great because he was falsely accused quite a lot, quite a lot. And a lot of people left Saul's camp and they joined Camp David. Camp David, terrific place, great.

Place. And I miss not being able to do. President's got to come back for that reason alone, just to have me imitate him. And because Rachel, English background, I thought, I don't know how many people know Boris Johnson.

You certainly know his hairstyle. That's got a, you know, personality of its own, I should say. But I've got Boris Johnson here as well. So right now, Boris Johnson, hope you're well, hope you're fighting fit as the butcher's dog.

I had Corona and my doctor, he said, you're looking pasty and your hair's all over the place. You're thinking of words to say. I said, brilliant. I'm back to normal. Thank you. Yes. You know, during the last two years, we've been told that we should stay fit and healthy and exercise.

And so I wanted to get an expert to sort of help us in that direction. And this guy's from California. And so I went to the top and I asked Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I told you that I'll be back. And I'm here to say, come with me if you want to live because I'm the vaccinator.

No, just kidding. Listen, I've been to the future. I've seen the war on the machines. It's nothing compared to the war on toilet paper and gas prices. I mean, it's crazy. But don't complain that you can't get back to the gyms and everybody's been like, girly man, here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna train hard. You've got to put your kids on your shoulders and squat. If I can do it in my 70s, then so can you. Although I'm so old now instead of I'll be back. It's ah, my back. It could be.

It could be that we end up watching perhaps too much TV. And I don't think that's a good idea. But you could and you could just sit on the couch for isolation for two years. And you can end up like, like Homer Simpson age Homer.

When I first heard there was a lockdown, I went, Oh, somebody give me the number for 911. But then I go wait, I get to sit on my couch, watch TV for two whole years doing nothing. It's the happiest day of my life.

I'm not so sure that's that's where I want to end up. I mentioned I've got a few kids, they they did get to watch a few more movies than usual. You know, I like this is one of their favorites. They like Shrek.

It's one of my favorites. You know, I used to love how did how did they do in isolation? Oh, it was so hard during isolation. I got donkeys a pen in the backside, you know, staying here in the swamp in quarantine.

Oh, man, Shrek, what are you talking about, man? You know, man, before this I was all alone. And then we'd leave late. Man, is it bad away Shrek? Are we there yet? Did we flatten the curve yet? You flat?

I think we did. Yeah. I think so. But yeah, beautiful. I am. My little girl loves me doing that one. And, you know, when I tuck her in at night and I say, Good night, sweetie. Do the donkey. There's a beautiful girl.

Then I'll she'll say Mr. Bean, Daddy, Mr. Bean. And so I'll be like, Oh, Mr. Bean. And she gets all excited. I throw in a couple others. Let's say I throw this one group. Yes, go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Bye bye. Daddy loves you. And she just gets so excited. She's 17. She. All right, she's a little bit younger than that. But it's it's so much fun. Hey, if you do have other voice suggestions, that is something.

Feel free to put it in. And I'll see if I can do them. But but I also want to share with you a little bit of my testimony, a little bit of encouragement for evangelism as well. I I'll let you think about some voices.

You can put them in the chat and I might actually see them. But I'm Kamala Harris. The laugh just just have to laugh, don't it? Yes, it's hard to do. I always say it's hard to do when you when you learn to be serious.

So Kamala Harris. Yeah, I saw that when I think I think I was gonna say that the hardest part about learning a voice is you have to watch that for hours and hours and hours before you get it. And I don't know if I'm prepared to do that.

Oh, good. You know, you can't do it. I'm okay with that. No, I can't do it.

Kamala Harris, but I can do. Okay, that's right. But if you have suggestions, keep them coming. But but what I what I love is, I love to see some really good Christian films with some Hollywood stars.

And I think they did actually a few years ago when they made there's been a couple of summer hit and miss. I did that one with Jim Caviezel, you know, the he was from Passion of Christ, Paul, the Apostle of Christ, and he played Luke.

And every time Jim Caviezel talks, it's either in Aramaic, or, you know, every time he talks on an interview, he sounds like he's about to burst into tears. I don't know if you've picked that up. He's, he's always sounding so sad.

He could win an Oscar goes, this is the happiest day of my life. I'm, you know, I'm, I'm.

Overjoyed.

They got a few auditions. I don't know who played Paul in that movie. But they had a couple of auditions that we're going to get Sylvester Stallone, you know, I was going to play Paul. You know, Paul, and you know, it's like, I don't box is more beating the air.

They could have had Sean Connery. The late great Sean Connery. I was known as and I was sailing in the ship. I got shipwrecked sailing on the ship at all. You can never say the letter S. A book in my head.

I can only blame myself. Thank you. He was great. I do miss the late great Sir Sean. Robert De Niro considered playing Paul. Can you imagine? All right. My name's, my name's Paul. Used to be Saul. I was walking down the road to Damascus one day.

Suddenly a bright light came towards me. I heard a voice. I said, Are you talking to me? I couldn't see for three days. You know, that's why my face looks like this. All right. All right. Thank you very much.

I do enjoy looking at I love looking at the scriptures and it's definitely my my go to. It's not just my go to book. It's my whole life is in the scriptures. But sometimes I love to give it a funny spin like that just to just for some some fun.

But I absolutely love to share the scriptures and I love to share like my whole testimony. I'm not sure for the sake of time how much how much time we've got. It's it's it's middle of the day for me. So I'm around but I know we're all in different time zones.

I'm in the future. It's amazing in Australia. But hey, I'll share with you because we go. Oh, how about Jerry Seinfeld? That that's a Jerry Seinfeld could be good. I think I think you could have that.

See, look, I could I could get some Jerry Seinfeld in the background. That would be a great idea. I think it would be great to actually you know, it's what's interesting is they have the the James Earl Jones.

Oh, okay. So we got we got a long time. Right. Is that right? Someone's for Gilbert Godfrey? Well,.

Did I figure that out? Right? If it was 1245 when we started 140 makes it 55.

Minutes, right? Yeah, no problem. That's, that's really cool. So did you hear that? There was a bit of a crash bang in my house. I hope everything's okay. Is that a prop? I think so. We did have an earthquake last year.

There was that wasn't that I have not but no. Couple of bricks fell. But we're rebuilding. But no, actually, true, true story. But I went into a Christian we still have Christian bookstores in Australia.

I don't know where the last ones to have them. But there is this is true. You can get the whole Bible recited by James Earl Jones, who's the voice of the Lion King and Darth Vader. Can you imagine? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Quite enough, it sounds like that. And but but you would never have the Jerry Seinfeld Bible, you know, in the beginning, God created the heavens and was good. Or Gilbert Godfrey. I've never tried to do a Gilbert Godfrey.

But that would you wouldn't get one verse in, you'd be like, that's I'm not having that. Or the Hugh Grant Bible. Yes. And suddenly, they listen to the state a bit of a whoopsie daisy. Don't want to go there.

You know, it's quite interesting. But I'd love to share a little bit of my testimony. I grew up as some would say I didn't grow up. But I as a Christian growing up in a Christian home, when I was about seven, any seven year olds here?

I don't think so. But I was I love the Lord. I knew right from wrong. I knew there was heaven. I knew there was hell. And when I understood that there were people that didn't believe that would end up in hell, I said, why don't we tell them?

That would be a good idea. And I didn't even know what the Great Commission I mean, I may have heard it, it wasn't something that was forefront of my mind. And so I went out in that passionate haste to go to the local park.

And I open air preached. I just I remember vividly in my mind, I brought my friend on, so you come with me. And we're going to share the gospel. And I said, Hey, guys, do you believe in Jesus? And their answer was not.

And I said, you need to or you're going to hell. It was blunt as a little kid could be. And I even remembered my apologetics, you know, when you defend your faith, because I said, Well, what do you think happens when you die?

They go, we just get buried in the ground. You know, and I said, not and they're like, not and we're like, not not. And was this not not not kind of, you know, I've since learned a lot more. I was on a seven.

But what I'm saying is I was, you know, Paul says, in Romans, it's one verse eight, right? Where for I'm not ashamed of the gospel, it's the power of God under salvation. And I was unashamed, I didn't care.

In Matthew 515. Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount, neither do you cover your light under a bowl or other gospels or versions will say a bushel or I don't know, I think it's a carrying basket, like or a basket.

And rather, you put it on a lampstand, let the whole household see, well, I was letting everybody see and I didn't care. I was unashamed. And I would tell everybody I knew about Jesus. And it was great.

I didn't care about what they thought of me. And I had people, you know, swear at me, these kids at the park, and I had, I told my best friend, Simon, you got to believe in Jesus, man. And didn't want to believe he just was absolutely like, not, it was like, it was like that, not, you know, not, yeah, you have to, yep, not.

And he was, Simon, I said, mate, you got to go. I think I froze up for a sec there. I think I froze up just for a moment there. So I said, to my friend, Simon, I said, you have to believe. I said, we could die in this storm, you go to hell.

And he's like, oh, he freaked out. I don't believe. And we, I didn't really know how to lead someone to Christ at that age. So seven or eight. Oh, cool. Yeah, no problem. And so I, we, he came to Christ and at that particular time, I thought I was doing a dramatic pause.

It was a bit like that, that worked in my favor, but he's still a believer to this day and still great. And so it's amazing, but how God did use that at that particular time. And so I was unashamed when I was a kid, when I was a teenager, same thing.

I like girls and, you know, plural, not anymore. I'm happily married, but I remember I had one girl when I was 15, I really interested in it, but she said, all you ever talk about is the Lord. And it's going to come out what's in the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

And I'm just going to say it. I have to say it. I can't help, but speak what I've seen and heard what I know. And, you know, that was it. So, but you know, the older you get, the more you can get a little bit comfortable and relaxed in, you know, your faith where I was getting success with comedy and I was doing really well and I was making good money and, and I was still at church, still a Christian, but I became, I hate saying it, but I I'd become lukewarm where, you know, I was not hot nor cold.

What does revelation three say? You know, I'd rather spit you out of my mouth, vomit you out of my mouth. It makes the Lord sick. And that's where I was. I was, you know, chasing what I wanted to do, still asking and praying, God, can you, can you bless what I'm doing over here and, uh, you know, help me go with what I'm doing rather than saying, God, what do you want me to do?

I'll do whatever you ask me to do. And so, yeah, I had my alignment a little off and, you know, you, you only need your, um, like think of a train on a train track. If it's a little off track, uh, no one will notice, but hey, that's heading for disaster.

And it was just not good. And, um, and I knew that I had to get back. I knew God, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I knew that I, I want to be unashamed again. And yet I cared about what people would think.

And they'd ask, what did you do on the weekend? And I'd tell them, I saw a movie, I went out for dinner and yeah, that's all true. But I was too embarrassed to sort of say, yeah, I went to church because I knew that was a perfect springboard for the gospel.

You know, do you ever go to church? And then that's, that's a good segue, but I was just, I didn't do it. And it, it frustrated me like, oh, and I think we've all probably done that, but I was doing it constantly.

Um, why can't I have the courage to do it? You know, I'm not, I'm not ashamed to say, here's my kids and show them photos, but why is it that I, you know, because it comes with a cost and it annoyed me and go wait back to 2009.

Remember back then when the whole KFC or the whole GFC that, that was going on. And I, um, I was going through that at that time. And so I remember, uh, what happened was I I'd started, I have a friend called, uh, Daniel, who's a good Christian brother of mine.

And he said to me, um, okay, so we, we wanted to start to learn scripture. Um, this was a good thing. I was like, I need to start getting back into the scriptures. I need to start doing this. And he said, we're going to learn, um, a Psalm every month.

And then we're going to catch up for coffee and recite it to each other. And I was like, I like that. That's a good challenge. So we did that. We started with Psalm one, we learned the whole Psalm and then we catch up.

And I memorized the whole thing. This is good. But even though I'm learning that head knowledge, it was like, it hadn't sunk into my heart fully. And to the point where I was like, I'm unashamed God, and I'm learning that.

And that was great. And, um, and then I kept learning. So I remember telling this lady who was Chinese, um, and she still is right. I'm pretty sure. And so I said, Psalm one had helped me. And she's like, Oh yeah, someone helped me too.

Oh, not someone's Psalm one. Yeah. Oh, someone, Oh, someone has up to as well. And so I, I learned that, uh, word for word. And that, that was, that was great. And then we learned about eight Psalms over the course of a few months.

And, um, yeah, it was like, Oh, this is good. But even though I'm still sort of, Oh, I'm, I'm ashamed. I can't get to that point where I'm unashamed of the gospel and who cares what, what, what I lose, whether I lose friends or popularity or whatever, because in, in the entertainment world, it's all about being popular and having friends and fame and money.

And it's like, if I go that way, it's, it's, it's a risk I'm going to lose. Well, I could. And anyway, I got to late 20, 2009. And, uh, I remember going through, um, I woke in the middle of the night, one night where I was, um, I had a headache.

It was at the back of my head where I felt like, um, I honestly felt that I was going to pass out in my sleep blackout. And I don't know, I had this irrational thought, maybe I'll die. I don't know. So I got up and I just, um, I remember drinking some water and thinking maybe I'm dehydrated and I got hardly any sleep.

And I thought that was awful. I don't know what happened there. The next night I thought I'll go to sleep and sleep it off. And the same thing happened. I woke up real tense headache right at the back of there.

I didn't know what was going on. I was feeling, um, this tightness across my chest, down my arms, and I'm a little worried and concerned. I don't know what's going on inside of my wife. And she said, maybe go to the doctors.

I'm going to go now. And I went to the hospital and middle of the night, check it out. And they said, just, just did a blood test on me, sit on the bed for, um, and they said, are you stressed? I was a bit stressed about the, the money you gotta pay for this.

Um, and, but anyway, that was okay. I said, they said, just rest on there for an hour. And I'm like thinking, oh, I don't know if I can rest. And I thought, oh, I've just learned eight Psalms. And I didn't have my Bible with me.

And I, I'll just quote them in my head. And I'm thinking, I don't know, because I'm, I'm, I need an answer. I'm stressed. I need, I need a relief. God, this is what I'm genuinely feeling. And I thought, oh, I'll go through Psalm one to eight and I'll maybe just randomly start in the middle.

I don't know if it's going to help me. That's what I'm thinking. And then I go, all right, Psalm four, it says, answer me when I call to you, my righteous God, give me relief from my distress, be merciful to me, hear my cry for help.

And I went, oh, wow. I just sat there going, God, you're, you're hearing my prayer right now. This is incredible. I know that was written maybe 3000 years ago. And here I am saying this, you know, back then, and I couldn't believe it.

And the end of that Psalm says, and I will lay down and sleep in peace for you alone, oh Lord, make me dwell in safety because I couldn't sleep. And I just knew, all right, God, you're with me. And I went through severe anxiety for two or three months even.

And I, it was awful. It was terrible. It was one of the worst moments of, it was like a nightmare that just didn't end. But, but I said, well, what are you showing me in all of this? And I remember there was one day where I just was, I actually was a sucker for punishment because I got laser eye surgery.

It was booked in, you know, cause I couldn't see people. I'd be constantly, sorry, who are you? I was like, oh, it's, it's, oh, it's mom. I didn't know, but yeah, it was like that. So I, I actually thought that anxiety was so bad that I thought to myself, I'm looking forward to the pain of the, well, it'll distract me.

Do you know what I mean? And then when I felt the pain of the eyes, I was like, oh no, that's worse. I immediately regret that. No, it was awful. Cause the doctor, the, um, it wasn't so bad that the procedure, he goes, take these, um, morphine drops, right?

That's how bad it was. But he said like, when you get home, you'll feel a 10 out of 10 pain. And I went, oh, and it was, it was like glass in my eyes. And then for a couple of days, I couldn't see it.

I'm just lying on bed and crying and I'm going, God help me. And I've got anxiety. And I said, what do you want me to do, God? And I really sensed that, well, it was such a conviction that I needed to get right with God.

I mean, obviously my realignment needed an alignment. I needed to be Christ-centered. I repented and said, Lord, you know, I know that I've been asking you to bless what I do and my plans. And I said, God, it all belongs to you.

You've given me all this, God, it belongs to you. If you want to take it, it's yours, God. If you want to take it in another direction, whatever you want to do, God, it's yours. I'm putting you back on the throne of my life.

And I said, God, everything comes to you. And I said, I repent of all these things, you know? And so, yeah, it was, it was an amazing time where I just know, and very shortly after, like within a week or so that the anxiety had lifted and I knew, oh wow, God, you're so good.

You're giving me grace and, you know, cause I came to that humble position. God gives grace to the humble. And I knew when you repent, you know, I heard Vance Havner, an old preacher, you ever heard of Vance Havner?

So if you're having a bad day, having a hard time, go to Vance Havner. And he shared that, you know, there's all these evangelism programs and they're wonderful. They're great. Most of the time, if they're biblical, but he's saying, you know, get them to repent first.

Cause he said, once they repent, they know what they've got to do. We know the great commission. And that's the same with me. When I came to that first love, as it says in Revelation 3, God, I just want to get back to the gospel.

And then I found, I couldn't stop sharing. I watched so many, so many Ray Comfort videos and I was like, God, I want to share. And to this day, here we are in 2022 in the future. Wow. And I have a page, you can follow it.

It's called Bought with a Price with Ben Price. And we go out sharing the gospel. I want to share a little story with you guys. There's so many stories, it's hard to know, but this encouraged me a lot because there was a guy who was about 17, a few years ago.

We're standing between two buildings. So I said, there's building A and there's building B and in between we've got 25 meters. So I'm on metric, right? So that's probably half the length of an Olympic swimming pool, if you can picture that.

Was it about 12 feet? I could be way off. No, it's longer than that. How many yards? I've no idea. And anyway, it's a long distance and the best Olympic long jumper world record is only 8 .95 meters. So it's not even halfway across.

Now, I said to this guy, hypothetically, of course, I said, if you jump, you have to jump from building A to building B. I said, what score do you want to get? He said, oh, what do you mean? I said, percentage-wise, what do you want to get?

He said, oh, 100%. Yeah. I said, what happens if you get 90 He said, I'll die. Now I said, exactly. I said, so what do you do? He said, oh, I won't jump. I said, you have to jump. Okay, I'll try my best.

I said, but your best, you're not going to get across. And he's like, well, what do I do here? Because he's not going to make it not even close to 8 .95 meters. He'd probably get five meters if he's lucky.

And so he'll probably get 30%. I'm not good with maths. There's three types of people, those that can count and those that can't. And so I don't know how he's going to do. And he's like, what do I do here?

You have to get across, you have to jump, and you don't want to die. So how do we do this? And I said, okay, there's one way, only one way. In my story, there's only one way that you can get from building A to building B.

And I said, you jump across still, but you go inside a hot air balloon. And I said, you rely on something that is far greater, far stronger than you. You've got the law of gravity at work. But this is the law of aerodynamics that will carry you perfectly across.

It's done it before, and it'll keep doing it, it'll carry you across. So you can jump. And you can say, yeah, I jumped from building A to building B, and I got across perfectly. And I explained to him, without that, you're going to fall short, because the Bible says, and I showed him the law that, yes, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
