=== Bible College Journey (03:11) ===

[00:00:00]  Joshua, thank you for joining me.
[00:00:03]  Thank you for your time, yeah.
[00:00:05]  So, a few questions.
[00:00:07]  First of all, you attend, I believe, a Christian school, is that correct?
[00:00:12]  That is correct.
[00:00:13]  And that's Bible College?
[00:00:17]  Union Bible College.
[00:00:20]  Yes, sir.
[00:00:20]  And that's in Indiana?
[00:00:22]  That is correct.
[00:00:23]  Yeah, I looked you up.
[00:00:24]  I want to make sure that I got the facts right.
[00:00:27]  How many students are there?
[00:00:29]  It's a pretty small college.
[00:00:31]  It's selective, so they run about a hundred on campus, but they have quite a few across the country.
[00:00:36]  You mean online?
[00:00:39]  Correct.
[00:00:39]  I see.
[00:00:40]  And is it men and women or only men?
[00:00:44]  It is both, men and women, yes.
[00:00:46]  And is it about 50-50 male-female?
[00:00:49]  Yeah, it runs pretty close, 50%, yeah.
[00:00:52]  You think you'll meet your wife there?
[00:00:55]  It's very possible.
[00:00:58]  Are you looking?
[00:01:01]  I'm definitely open.
[00:01:02]  I know a lot of girls, not too many ladies.
[00:01:05]  Oh, that's interesting.
[00:01:07]  Develop that idea for a moment.
[00:01:10]  Okay.
[00:01:11]  Well, I've been asked that quite a bit.
[00:01:13]  And, you know, I'm just looking for someone who knows the direction they're headed.
[00:01:17]  And I'm actually a preacher myself, so it's natural for me to look for someone who's conducive to the call and just to see where God's leading us.
[00:01:28]  How old are you?
[00:01:29]  I'm 24. And you're already a preacher?
[00:01:33]  I am.
[00:01:34]  I was actually called when I was 18, so I've been doing this for a couple of years.
[00:01:38]  It's hard to believe, but yeah.
[00:01:40]  So what degree will you be getting at Union?
[00:01:44]  I will be getting a degree in ministerial studies and then a theology emphasis within that.
[00:01:51]  Very good.
[00:01:52]  So it's a Bible-based curriculum?
[00:01:56]  Correct.
[00:01:57]  Yeah, that's up my alley.
[00:01:59]  I hope you'll take a look one day.
[00:02:02]  You'll get a lot of sermons out of it, out of my rational Bible commentary on the Bible.
[00:02:08]  I'm hoping to order it soon.
[00:02:10]  Yeah, I wasn't trying to sell you one, but in all sincerity, I always tell ministers, rabbis, and priests, if you don't get 50 sermons at least out of any of my volumes, I'll give you your money back.
[00:02:26]  I understand.
[00:02:28]  It's a worthy investment.
[00:02:31]  I do have your book on the Ten Commandments, and I've enjoyed it.
[00:02:34]  Good.
[00:02:34]  Good.
[00:02:35]  Glad.
[00:02:36]  Thank you.
[00:02:36]  So what prompted you to join PragerForce?
[00:02:41]  Well, actually, I did a lot of public relations for the school.
[00:02:45]  I would travel and present the college and represent the college.
[00:02:50]  So I got to hear a lot of different objections to conservatism as I traveled.
[00:02:55]  We were in 38 states in four years, so I brushed shoulders with my generation and the younger ones for a long time, and I just realized that there was a lacking in the social media area to give clear answers to conservative values.

=== PragerU's Generous Audience (00:15) ===

[00:03:11]  And that's when I found PragerU, and I was hooked.
[00:03:15]  That's great.
[00:03:16]  All right, let me continue with you in a moment, folks.
[00:03:19]  Please know that without your contributions, there is no PragerU.
[00:03:24]  And this audience has been the most generous.
