	What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen.
	Thank you all for being here.
	I'm just going to ask the press to step out so we can begin our briefing.
	Thank you.
	Mr. President, I have a ticket for you.
	Mr. President, should your son have defied a subpoena?
	Did you watch?
	Did you watch?
	I think the story displayed Freedom is back in style.
	It's a tape.
	More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
	Welcome to the second hour of the Sean Hannity Show.
	Again, my name is Rose.
	I'm sitting in for him today.
	It is December 26th, the day after Christmas.
	But there's still a lot to talk about.
	And so I ask one of my favorite people in all of the world, honestly, he is.
	I asked Pastor Jack Hibbs to join me today.
	And Pastor Hibbs, if you don't know, he's been on with me before on Sean's show, but he's known to a lot of people as just Pastor Jack.
	And he leads the Calvary Chapel, Chino Hill, and television broadcast that's called Real Life with Jack Hibbs.
	Listen, on Sundays, I put that on sometimes just so I can get a very good sermon.
	You can go to check him out at jackhibbs.com, jackhibbs.com.
	So anyway, welcome to the show, the Sean Hannity Show.
	Jack, it's good to have you on.
	Well, Rose, listen, it's good to be on with you.
	And I hope you had a great day yesterday and that your family's well.
	I feel that I did, and I hope the same for you, my friend.
	You know, I know that you have a book, and I want to get to the book at the end of this interview.
	We're going to take you through this whole hour because there's so much I want to talk to you about.
	You know, when we go through Christmas, and everyone loves listening to the Christmas carols, I think almost everyone I do.
	But Pastor Jack, my favorite is O Holy Night.
	And there are some words in there that are just so powerful.
	And we think about where the world is right now.
	And we think about, and this is interesting too, because it kind of relates to your book.
	But some of those words like long lay the world in sin and error pining.
	And you think about those words and how regretful we are sometimes of the errors that we've had in our own life and about how humanity has long waited in state without a resolution.
	We've been in that state of regret, you know, for our mistakes, our errors, and not knowing what to do about them.
	So this is kind of like the words in here just really touch me at this time of year, but it's not just for this time of year, is it?
	No, it's not.
	And I'm so glad you pointed that out, Rose, because you're talking about a Christmas hymn that is technically even beyond Christmas.
	Those lyrics are true biblical Bible teaching doctrine.
	When you're talking about the soul being laden, and in that beautiful Christmas hymn, there's that challenge to us to consider the fact that the soul felt its worth.
	Yes.
	And that is a real great key at a time like this because obviously there's so much going on in our world and people are leaning back, as it were, Rose, to find out what's stable, what's real.
	Is it the stock market?
	Is it the government?
	Is it the upcoming elections in 2024?
	And they are actually coming up with the right answer, which is nope.
	It's not stable.
	And so when you look at that Christmas hymn, which is your favorite, that's beautiful.
	I think the reason why you love it, Rose, is because it's so biblically based on the hope that is in Christ.
	That's right.
	And, you know, and we do, and we do recognize our worth once we really get into that relationship with him.
	And, you know, the other thing, too, that that song talks about, a thrill of hope that the weary world rejoices for.
	And we so much need that thrill of hope right now because so many people are looking around.
	They're seeing what's going on in the Middle East and there's unrest everywhere in Russia and China and Iran and Hamas.
	And it's just, it's a frightening place sometimes if you allow yourself to dwell there.
	But we do have a thrill of hope.
	You know, it's really great what you just said.
	And I want all of your listeners to catch this.
	Those nations that you just articulated, those issues that are going on in the world, allow me to say this, Rose, a little bit sarcastically, just to make the point.
	So, for example, when COVID hit, people became fearful.
	So what did they do?
	Well, they ran the churches that were open, and we were one of them.
	And tens of thousands of people began coming.
	Now we've got this issue with Israel, for example.
	You know, Rose, we're not far from Los Angeles where our church is at.
	And so right after October 7th, after the brutal attack of Hamas against Israel, our church, we were seeing, and we still are now still on Sundays, a vast amount of Jews coming and they're asking questions about the Bible.
	And they're scared.
	They're nervous.
	They know that they should know more.
	And look, you don't have to be COVID sick or you don't have to be a Jew.
	The point is this, that God's hope answers the human soul cry.
	And it doesn't matter what you're associated with or what's going on in the world.
	The fact is, if you are sensing fear, then that is actually God announcing to you, hey, you don't need to be fearful because God is not the God of fear.
	So he wants to give you that love that casts out all fear.
	And man, I tell you, sometimes I feel Rose kind of bad in a way where, you know, myself and others I know, we're rejoicing at a time like this.
	We're thanking God.
	Everything's not falling apart.
	It's falling into place according to the Bible.
	And we're not biting our fingernails, but we see the world around us, as you said, they're weary and they're scared and they're worn out.
	And they don't have to be like that.
	They really don't.
	You know, you're right.
	And there was an interview that you had done with the Christian Post.
	And let me just let the audience know what you said in there.
	This is just a portion of it.
	I see the church today, predominantly the church in America, on its heels.
	It's on its back.
	It's against the ropes because the church doesn't seem to know its scriptures or its place.
	And I have to say, when I read that, I was also thinking about these young Jewish students.
	I have to say, Pastor Jack, I have been so touched by how bold and courageous they've been.
	You've seen the hearings where the students at some of the Ivy League schools were calling out the presidents of those schools and calling the universities themselves out for not defending and supporting and protecting the Jewish students there.
	And I thought, Jack, that should be an encouragement to all of us, Jews and Christians, all of us who share a very strong faith, that we too can be strong in our faith and be outspoken.
	Because I have to, were you not touched by just how outspoken those young people have been?
	Oh, absolutely.
	And Rose, yes, but absolutely, and they're viewing this rightly.
	They know a lot of people don't realize that the Jewish young people, they're basically forced to study history because their parents and their rabbis, they make them know history because Jewish history is a history of having the longest running persecution against any people group in human history.
	Having said that, these kids know that like it was in the Second World War, people were silent and the Holocaust took place.
	These kids know something.
	Yes.
	Know that if we're silent now, it's death later.
	So they're speaking up, but I want to add this.
	They're not only speaking up and being courageous, but we're seeing, like I said, so many young Jewish people.
	Rose, I wish I had the time to tell you how many Jewish young people have reached out to us from various parts of the world, but mainly Israel saying, I found your podcast or I found your sermons after October 7th and I'm listening and I have these questions.
	They're searching for hope, but they know this.
	If they don't stand, then they're dead.
	And they're not going to wait around this time for the world to come to their rescue because that didn't happen in 2000.
	I'm sorry.
	That didn't happen in the Second World War.
	So silence is complicit and we must not be silent.
	I encourage every Christian and or pastor that's listening right now to dedicate a time of their church service, maybe pick once a week or once a month, to stand for Israel.
	We did that recently and we had, oh my goodness, our sanctuary sees 3,000 people.
	We must have had 5,000 people show up in solidarity with Israel.
	The world needs to see that and Israel needs to know that.
	You know, and one of the things, I mean, growing up as a Christian, you know, we were always taught: you pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
	Those who bless Israel will be blessed and so forth.
	But, and it's so good that when we go back to the World War II, and no one would have ever believed, Pastor Jack, that people would be led to the gas chambers.
	No one would have ever believed that they would be pulled out of their homes.
	So that was unbelievable at the time, and yet it happened.
	And here we have, all these years later, on October 7th, where the worst atrocities ever happened to Jewish people by Hamas.
	And so we believe, they believe, they know that this can be done.
	They know that it's part of their history.
	And I do believe you're right.
	I do believe they have the courage right now and the strength to say never again.
	And they will stand up for their beliefs and for their faith.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And it's vital.
	You know, you mentioned something that is 100% true.
	You're not being bombastic.
	Things that Hitler's regime did did in all of their torture camps and the things that they did, these things, perhaps on a smaller scale.
	All right, well, I'll tell you what, I'm going to hold you right there.
	Do not forget what you're about to say.
	We're talking to Pastor Jack Hibbs, and he is going to continue this conversation with me on the other side of the break.
	So stay with us.
	Pastor Jack Hibbs, joining me right now.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.

	What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
	I'm Leon Nafak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
	This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Yes, that's right.

	The world is saying to Russia, stop these attacks immediately.
	And Joe can't form a sentence.
	Chalka Chalka Chip.
	We got all the latest news and updates for you right here on the Sean Hannity Show.
	We're back.
	We're back.
	And my name is Rose, and I'm in for Sean Hannity today.
	Joining me today is Pastor Jack Hibbs.
	He's known to many as just Pastor Jack, and he leads the Calvary Chapel Chino Hill Church.
	He's got a broadcast that's called Real Life with Jack Hibbs.
	You can check him out at jackhibbs.com.
	And we have you go to break, Jack, so I'm sorry that I missed what you were saying.
	So if we can pick up there, and then I want to talk about your book coming up too after the half hour.
	So go ahead, let's finish this conversation.
	Yeah, sure.
	You accurately pointed out the atrocities that have happened to the Jewish people.
	What a lot of people don't realize is that even though with Hitler in World War II, it was elongated, it was protracted torture, protracted evil, which was bad enough.
	What has been documented, Rose?
	And when I say documented, so all your listeners understand, I'm talking about, for example, me being allowed to see the raw footage from what the IDF got from Hamas fighters and also from Israeli police and IDF responding to that morning.
	Things, Rose, that is beyond the human mind to consider.
	I'm not going to get graphic, but the type of beheadings, what they did to the person after they were beheaded, children, babies, ovens in the home with the parents in the kitchen.
	What transpired, Rose, is not AI.
	It's not a joke.
	It was stuff that I personally do not believe another human has the capability to do to another human.
	I think what happened was very, very demonic.
	And so the young people today who survived this are saying, nope, we're standing up against this evil.
	And Rose, here's something that I want to do a flip on.
	The world right now, in fact, I'm driving as I'm speaking to you, and the freeway overpass in Los Angeles says, about two miles back, ceasefire now.
	And you know what?
	I know what that means, but where was that sign, Rose?
	Where is that sign referring to Israel or not Israel, I'm sorry, but Russia in the Ukraine.
	Why isn't the world screaming right now, demanding that Putin ceasefire against Ukraine?
	Well, the reason why that's not happening is because this is not a Israel-Jerusalem issue in the Ukraine.
	The Israel-Jerusalem issue is spiritual.
	And the Bible tells us that when Christ returns, he returns to a real nation called Israel, and he returns to the city of Jerusalem in his second coming.
	Now, I think this is key about the time in which you and I live in.
	I think, Rose, the reason why Israel's front and center on the news is because the bottom line is spiritual.
	I agree with you 100%.
	And this will lead us into on the other side of this interview, we're going to get to your book, which is living in the days of deception.
	And, you know, this really is, there's so much deception all around us, and we will get to talk about that.
	But since we're on the subject of these young Jewish students, you know, I think, too, it's a time where Christian youth needs to stand strong in their beliefs as well.
	You know, a lot of times you'll hear the terrorists say, the Sabbath now, but Saturday now, but Sunday next.
	And oftentimes that, I mean, clearly that refers to Christians as well as the Jewish community.
	But I think that we have seen some indication that especially our country, our youth is growing in their faith.
	We've seen those.
	I love the spiritual, little spiritual revivals, you know, pockets of them.
	If you remember in the last year or so, we've seen, but I think that there is going to come a time where even the Christian youth is going to have to be strong and courageous in their own faith as well.
	Well, absolutely right.
	And I do believe that's going to happen.
	I think that's something that you and I can just count on.
	And I'm, look, I'm one, this is one reporter's opinion, but what we're seeing in Southern California, Rose, of all places, is a huge awakening among young people that's reminiscent of the Jesus people era, where young people, look, I'm 60, I'll be 66 years old very, very shortly, and I'm an old guy with gray hair.
	But I make this point.
	Every Sunday, there are thousands of young people.
	When I say young people, 40, 30 years of age and under, who are walking into this church with their Bibles, a lot of them are college students.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	So you know what?
	And we will pick up from here.
	And Pastor Hibbs, good work you're doing out there.
	When we come back to this interview, I want to talk to Pastor Jack Hibbs about his book that's soon to be released very soon.
	It's called Living in the Days of Deception.
	On the other side of the break, we'll be back with more of the Sean Hannity Show.
	My name is Rose and I'm sitting in for Sean Hannity today.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	That's right.
	It is the Sean Hannity Show.
	My name is Rose.
	Sitting in for him today.
	This hour, I've dedicated to Pastor Jack Hibbs.
	He's known to many as just Pastor Jack.
	He leads the Calvary Chapel Chino Hill Church, and he has a television broadcast called Real Life with Jack Hibbs.
	You can go to jackhibbs.com to check it out.
	We're going to finish up, Pastor Jack, on your comments on the young college students that are coming into your church today.
	And then I want to talk about your new book.
	And the book is Living in the Days, D-A-Z-E, of Deception.
	So why don't you go ahead and finish up on just how excited you are to see the youth in this country turning to God.
	And the beautiful thing is it's not only optical where you see it and you get to observe it and watch them come, hands raised up in worship, Bibles open, studying the word of God, thrilling.
	But also this, Rose, we have been consistently baptizing three, four, five, 600 people every several months in these recent days.
	I say this recent days, I should say recent years.
	Something shifted in about 2020, 2021.
	In fact, there was three Saturdays in a row where we baptized 1,000 people per Saturday.
	And again, a lot of them are young people.
	So something is really happening.
	And I think they're waking up.
	They're a generation that is saying, gosh, I'm being lied to.
	I'm being ripped off.
	I'm being, you know, you name it.
	And they're actually searching for reality.
	They've tried everything else and it's let them down.
	And so now they're turning to God.
	And the great thing, Rose, is God never lets anybody down.
	No, he doesn't.
	You're right about that.
	You know, I was thinking, too, you mentioned the Jesus Revolution of the 70s.
	I actually remember that.
	I wasn't really into my faith.
	I mean, I grew up in a Christian home, but I remember referring to them as those Jesus freaks.
	And then several years later, I would be in a really bad accident.
	And suddenly the idea of being a Jesus freak sounded okay to me.
	But anyway, let's talk about your book because I think it's so relevant to what we've been talking about already this hour.
	And not just that, but what's going on all around us.
	The book is called Living in the Days, D-A-Z-E, of Deception.
	And Jack, when is it due out?
	And I think you can even pre-order it right now if they wanted to.
	Is that correct?
	You are correct.
	Thank you for saying that.
	You can pre-order it now, but it drops on February 6th.
	And after February 6th, I know that I'll be in Dallas and Houston and Arlington and Fort Worth and various places.
	But yeah, living in the days of deception, we're very happy with the Harvest House publishers.
	They loved the title.
	It was a teaching series I did, Rose.
	And they actually called me to ask if I would write a book on the topic.
	I said no.
	And they said, well, then can we buy the title from you?
	Because we love it that much.
	And I said, really?
	And they said, yeah, it speaks about the future.
	And as soon as they mentioned the future, Rose, that got me because I'm a Bible prophecy guy.
	And you know what?
	Let me take a stab at it.
	So it's turned out to be a tremendous project that God's blessed, been honored by Secretary Mike Pompeo, read it and wrote the forward to it.
	But the publisher has decided to hold back the full release until 2024 because it really answers the realm of deception.
	You don't have to be a Christian to buy this book.
	You don't have to be a Bible reader to buy the book.
	It's for the Christian.
	It's for the non-Christian.
	It's for anybody breathing to wake them up that we're living in a fog right now and you don't have to stay that way.
	There's great hope and there's great, what I'll say, are tactics on how to apply what you hear or see in the world around us through a biblical worldview lens.
	And so, you know, Jesus warned us, Rose, that in the last days, the most dangerous thing about the last days is deception.
	The level of deception will be unbelievable.
	Nice to look at, you know, Revelation and think, how in the world is that going to happen?
	And now you see with AI and these virtual sermons that are being done in Germany, there was a pastor in Texas not too long ago over the summer that actually had AI write his sermon for him.
	So, I mean, now we can see really how the deception can actually occur because at some point, artificial intelligence and using those kind of tools are going to be, they're going to be so good, so close to real, that it will be hard to make a distinction between what is real and what is not.
	Well, you are so right.
	And it's a pretty amazing time.
	I was going to say sad, but not as a believer, I can't say that.
	It's a bizarre time.
	It is bizarre.
	That right now, I can do a sermon, and there are people who have the technologies to take my voice and to make that sermon actually say different words.
	And in fact, Rose, we've got a security group that tries to prevent that from happening.
	But that's how bad things have gotten is what Rose Tennant says on the radio next week may not be Rose Tennant.
	It could be AI replicating her voice using different words.
	That's the world we're living in now.
	Days of deception, I think, fits the bill.
	Yeah, that is so true.
	It really is.
	And, you know, one of the other things, too, when we talk about deception is, you know, this catchphrase, this is my truth.
	What the heck?
	There's only one truth.
	There can only be one truth, but this is my truth, you know, and it's a very interesting thing, truth.
	A lot of people value it above all else, but it's not always valued by others.
	And they stretch it, they manipulate it, and they speak in such a way that they know that they're manipulating it so that you'll believe something that's not true, but it's okay with them because it fits their agenda.
	It fits their narrative.
	And that's the world we are living in.
	There's just no doubt about it.
	Yeah, there's no doubt.
	And I want everybody to not panic about this comment I make.
	Rose, you are so correct, but there are those, frankly, that you and I know in life, they don't mind if they're told a lie.
	They don't want to know what's going on.
	Apparently not.
	Want to eat, drink, and be merry.
	Don't tell me what's happening.
	And then there are those who are tired of being lied to, tired of the false and the fake.
	And again, it all goes back to the young people.
	This is why I'm so excited.
	They are seeking truth and they now know.
	I'm hearing it from them, Rose.
	They're not believing anymore.
	My truth, your truth, their truth is truth.
	They're realizing, hey, you know what?
	I went down that road.
	It doesn't work.
	I mean, I'm hearing people now say, you know what?
	I was talking into being a homosexual 10 years ago.
	It turns out I'm not.
	Or I was told this about my gender three years ago.
	And it turns out that I'm not.
	And it's awesome because for those who want to think, there's hope for them.
	To those who don't want to think, they don't want to know.
	Well, listen, God is not going to ram his truth down your throat.
	You've got to be open and willing to come to him.
	Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, which is truth, and they will come to me.
	You know, I love that.
	And one of the things, too, that this book, I understand, does lay out for us are the characteristics of deceivers and how they've brought harm to a secular culture, not just to the spiritual or to the church.
	Yeah, oh, there's no doubt.
	I think Satan being a real entity and demonic spiritual powers the Bible speaks of, a lie is a lie no matter where it's told.
	If it's in church or if it's in the U.S. Capitol or on the street, it doesn't matter.
	He traffics and he moves in the realm of lies.
	And the greater the lie, the more subtle it is, actually.
	It sounds like an oxymoron, but he wraps the most seductive lies in things that look really good.
	In other words, something really wholesome is going to knock on your door, so to speak, but it's wrapped with this wholesomeness, but inside is a grave danger.
	And evil now has perfected its tactics.
	It's not like the old days.
	Things now are much more subtle.
	And my goodness, you think about how subtle Satan must have been when he spoke to Eve in the Garden of Eden.
	She was no dummy.
	She was actually perfect.
	It was so convincing that he would speak to her seductively enough whereby she would want to sin against God.
	And we live in an age right now where, you know what, try this, do this.
	You're not happy.
	Try a different gender.
	You'll be happier, right?
	I mean, you're right about that.
	And here's the thing, too.
	And we're talking to Pastor Jack Hibbs, by the way.
	He's Pastor Jack, leads Calvary Chapel Chino Hill Church, but he also has a television broadcast called Real Life with Jack Hibbs.
	And you can check him out at jackhibbs.com.
	Jack, we're going to go to a break right now.
	But when we come back, what I would really like to do, now that we're closing in on the end of 2023, I would love to get a new year message from you, something encouraging and what you think is really important for those of us listening to keep focused on as we head into these very interesting times.
	And I know that you agree with me that they are very interesting times.
	So we're talking to Pastor Jack Hibbs.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	My name is Rose.
	I'll be right back with more with Jack Hibbs and his New Year's message right after this.
	information overload this is the sean hannity show my
	My name is Rose, and I have the honor of sitting in for Sean today and the honor of talking to Pastor Jack Hibbs during this hour.
	And we talked about a lot of things.
	We talked about his book, Living in the Days of Deception.
	That's D-A-Z-E.
	Sounds like it's going to be a great book.
	It is available.
	As a matter of fact, Pastor Jack, why don't we tell everyone how they can get a copy of the book?
	Yeah, probably the easiest way is just to go to jackhibbs.com.
	And right there, that will launch you into various opportunities or options.
	You can go from that spot, jackhibbs.com, H-I-B-B-S.
	That will take you to either Amazon, you can order it there, or Walmart, or Hobby Lobby, whatever the locations are.
	It's actually being sold wherever books are sold.
	But jackhibbs.com will steer you in the right direction.
	I love it.
	Okay, so when we talk about coming to an end of 2023, what an interesting year this has been.
	And it should have been, for all intents and purposes, an eye-opening year, because for those of us who are watching these things, we have noticed that China is becoming a little more confident and Russia and Iran and then the unions that are being formed, unholy unions, if you will.
	And then what happened October 7th and then just everything else people are dealing with, the economy being so difficult and the crime level so high and the open borders, just so much going on this year in particular.
	When we look at closing out this year and we look forward to 2024, some will even say to you, I'm a little nervous going into 2024.
	What would you say to these people and to the listeners today?
	I would love to be able to say this.
	Either you can be nervous and stay nervous, which is not a good way to live, or you can transfer that nervousness into assurance.
	And what I mean by that is this, the year that's coming, my Bible tells me in Psalm 65, 11, for the believer, that he crowns the year with goodness and his paths drip with abundance.
	So what that means is for me, for you, for us who believe, is that there's going to be great opportunities for us to do our Christianity because there's so much going on in our world.
	People are fearful.
	Yes, you're right.
	The violence, crime, everything that's happening, we can either say, oh, no, or we can say, wow, Jesus said there'd be days like this, which means I'm living right now for a great and grand purpose.
	So Lord, what do you want me to do right now?
	So this year that's ahead is going to be a thrilling year.
	It's going to be a dynamic year.
	It's going to be exciting.
	You say, Jack, what do you know?
	Tell me.
	I don't know anything except my God controls the times and the seasons.
	We are alive for such a time as this.
	We've got the truth.
	Heaven is our home.
	Jesus died on the cross for our sins because he loves you.
	He rose again from the dead to guarantee your salvation.
	And you don't need to go into the new year fearful, no matter what happens, because God is in control.
	And Rose, it is true.
	Why is Russia?
	Why is China?
	Why are other nations rattling their arms and their swords?
	Because they can.
	And why does it seem America is shriveling up?
	Well, maybe it is.
	Here's the great thing.
	God's not an American.
	He doesn't live in Los Angeles or California.
	That we belong to an eternal family as believers.
	And that's a global family.
	And it's all based upon the incredible, awesome love of God that the fact that he forgave us of our sins rose.
	We can have a brand new start.
	2024 can be a brand new start no matter what happens.
	You know, you're so right about that.
	And I'll tell you something else.
	Two things that you said.
	One is that it is not a coincidence that we are living in these times.
	And so I say embrace it.
	I find it thrilling and very exciting that I was purposed to be here at this time.
	So I'm very grateful for it, in fact.
	And the other thing that you said, too, was about opportunities.
	And what I've been doing, Pastor Jack, is praying for opportunities.
	Like every day I get up and I ask for a couple of things, opportunities to serve God, to be something good for others.
	And then I ask for opportunities to be generous.
	And you would not believe how many times since I've been praying that, I just started last week or a week or two ago.
	How many times that I will be somewhere and I will see a need or I will be moved to give or do something.
	And it's just exciting.
	It's absolutely exciting.
	I think that's a prayer that he's happy to answer.
	And I think that he does give us those opportunities big time when you ask for them.
	I think you're asking the right thing.
	I so agree.
	And my favorite prayer seems to be for me, covers everything.
	Lord, I just want your favor every day.
	Whatever your favorite.
	Oh, I like that.
	I want to live in that because that means he's got my health.
	He's got the finances.
	He's got the spiritual battle.
	He's got my issue.
	He's got it.
	We've been joined by Pastor Jack Hibbs this hour.
