JESUS. GUNS. AND BABIES. w/ Dr. Kandiss Taylor ft C.R. Stewart
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hey everybody!
Welcome to Jesus, Guns, and Babies.
I'm your host, Dr. Candice Taylor, and I have one of my favorite, favorite guests on today.
You're going to be in for a treat.
I'm going to start with...
Nope, that's not the right verse.
I didn't want to do that one.
Hold on.
I got a verse.
Here we go.
Proverbs 11, 14. For lack of guidance, a nation falls.
But victory is won through many advisors.
And the reason why I chose that is because you all know President Trump won this week.
So the nation won this week.
And we're not going to be communists and live under tyranny.
We're going to actually have a prosperous nation.
And if you don't believe me, look at the stock market and the billions of dollars that's already been made just because he won in the faith and his ability to help the economy.
And so, we just pray for his protection, that they certify the election like they're supposed to by the Constitution, and most importantly, that as their transitioning power, that President Trump chooses wise counsel.
wise advisors and not corrupt people like he chose in 2016 that were around him when he didn't know anything about dc he had never lived there barely had even visited there but a few times so we just be praying diligently that he chooses their every single seat the right person that is loyal to the constitution of the united states of america and so i'm so excited we want to I know you are, too.
And so, I was going to say that before we get started.
But welcome to my show, Jesus Gens and Babies, my good friend, author, you know, now he's going to be like a movie producer, C.R. Stewart.
Thank you.
Glad to be on.
And what a glorious week to be on.
And what a great way to cap it off, too, on a Friday.
That's right.
That's right.
So it's so exciting.
It's so exciting.
So let's start wherever you want to.
I'm so excited.
You shared with me your new cover that's coming out for your fourth book.
So when you were here last time, you were still kind of awaiting that.
And I pre-read it for my nephew.
So I'm so excited.
Yeah, you can see it a little bit behind me.
It's kind of in the big grandeur there, but I'll show it kind of on the screen.
It's very exciting.
So this is Britfield and the Eastern Empire.
And there's Tom and Sarah, now 15 years old.
That's a shot.
They're in St. Petersburg, Russia.
And that's the Hermitage, the famous museum and the famous church behind there.
And it's just, it's very, very cool.
It was fun.
We were at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October for four days.
Beautiful location right at the end In the corner by the stairs and so like everyone coming down or coming through and And my literary agent, Lori, I'd sent her, you know, to great expense to France, a poster, you know, two foot by three foot poster.
So that was up there at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which was really cool.
And like just hundreds of people were stopping and looking at it and commenting and stuff.
It was very, very cool.
So best year yet there.
So we can actually start there and then we can talk because so many things that have happened and so many exciting updates, if you will.
But the Frankfurt Book Fair was It was incredible.
This is really the Oscars of the book world, especially for the sort of middle school young adults.
It's the biggie.
And it's where countries, I mean, publishers from all over the world come.
And they have a booth or they come for meetings and stuff like that.
So that was incredible.
My agent, Lori, was booked for, you know, all four days.
And we had a great booth.
And it looks like we're, I think the greatest news, I'm not sure if I shared it, but we have a major publisher in India that's interested in the Britfield series.
So that's huge.
I mean, we've got so many different countries on our radar, if you will, and this has always been designed as a sort of timeless classic, the Britfield series.
It's designed globally.
Everything we've done up until July of this year was a soft launch.
So if you can imagine, I've been on your show quite a few times, and thank you for that.
And it's fun, too, because you bring me back, and it's a story, and we're telling a story, and where you are now with the story.
And so everything we've done over the last five and a half years for the Britfield series has really been a soft launch.
You know, getting book one, book two, book three, launched our book tours and rolling out, if you will.
And then as of July, you know, it went global.
And we launched in, I think I probably mentioned this before, but we launched in England in June.
We got a major distributor there up in Lancaster.
And so that means that the Britfield series, the trilogy, is being printed in England, in Cornwall, shipped up north, and then it's going out all across Britain.
And Britain is our beachhead for Europe.
And then we sold the trilogy, the International Rights to Poland, as I mentioned before, and they're about to launch book three in Polish next year.
And Poland is our beachhead for Eastern Europe.
And now India, that's perfect.
That's kind of our beachhead for that sort of Middle East area.
And then we're about to lock in South Korea, as I mentioned before, in Japan.
South Korea is our beachhead for Asia.
And so, you know, it's just really, it takes a long time.
Almost like what we just went through as a nation, right?
Yes.
We had 2016 and things were starting to move.
And then 2020 is like the longest four years in history.
And really, month by month, we were waiting for the nonsense to be over and the illegal, you know what.
And so we've all been just waiting and waiting.
And it's just, meanwhile, behind the scenes, so many things were happening, so many great things were happening, so many things that we didn't see.
And I feel in many ways, it's that way with Britfield.
You know, you don't necessarily see it in every bookstore yet, or you don't see it in every library, and God willing, it will be.
But it just takes time.
Anything of quality takes time.
We're in this for the long haul, for the long duration.
We're into, really, paradigm shift in literature, raising the bar in literature, setting a new standard in literature, especially in films and media, and we'll talk about that.
So we're very excited.
So little by little, we're starting to expand globally.
And then I think the most exciting thing to talk about is, I mentioned this before, but we took Britfield and Lost Crown, a 384-page book, and we translated it into a theatrical play for For schools.
And we piloted it a couple years ago to great success over four nights in the October.
And that was great.
You know, I mean, it was a tremendous amount of time.
It took me 18 months to take 434 pages into a 90-minute two-act play, specifically for middle school, elementary schools, high schools.
And we started to talk about doing a partnership with a group called We the Kids.
Which is a wonderful nonprofit.
And what they do is they bring in opportunities for children and parents to be involved in television, radio, and other projects based on really the United States, history, and sort of a patriotic feel to it.
And I thought, I want to partner with them.
I want to sponsor them.
And so we suggested doing a live radio broadcast of Britfield and Lost Crown.
And I didn't think anything of it.
I thought, you know, we'll just read the play.
And so I contacted my theater director, Michelle Shoemaker.
She's at a new school.
She's got this great theater group.
She's like, great, I got 17 students.
She created a class just around a radio broadcast.
Because as you can imagine, very different from doing a play.
Plays visual along with audio.
Radio is just all audio.
And then she texted me about three weeks ago and she goes, we've got a problem.
Because I sent her the play and it's just like, we can't just do the play.
It's like, it's got to be designed for the radio.
And so I had to spend four days.
And again, too, imagine suddenly just stopping everything you're doing and spending four days.
It's like you've got things planned.
And I had to start at the very beginning and make the whole thing work.
As an audio.
Most of it was translating the narration, if you will.
Because in a play, you might have Tom and Sarah walk onto the theater or onto the stage, blah, blah, blah.
They're wearing this or they're doing that.
All those comments had to be pulled out into a narration.
So the whole thing can be narrated along with the acting and stuff.
And then two, three weeks ago, we drove up to Newport Beach, California.
It's in Southern California.
And I took my Sound engineer, Noah Dingley, he worked with Salem Media Group for 25 years, and he drove up with me, and he was there to record.
And again, too, I'm not really thinking much of it.
I'm thinking, you know, it's just middle school.
It's a radio broadcast.
It's, I just, I don't know.
I think I always underestimate things.
But we were there for like six hours, you know, recording 90 minutes.
And, you know, we had to keep doing things.
The littlest sounds would pick up, you know, someone shifting in their chair.
What you'd have to do in the soundproof room is, you know, once kids were done with their thing, they'd have to leave and stuff.
Because it's just, I laughed a few times at the lines and, like, they had to cut it and redo it.
And, you know, you just got to be so careful.
And then he got this, like, you know, big chunket of the play, all the recordings, and spent two and a half weeks, you know, going through it, editing it, tightening it up.
Taking out this, taking out that, layering over the sound effects.
And so as of today, I've just finished it this morning.
We have the 90-minute broadcast.
Wow!
So where will it broadcast, Chad?
Yeah, so it's pretty cool.
So far we've got about 28 platforms nationwide and even globally that have agreed to post Britfield and Lost Crown radio broadcast on their platform, on their show.
SGT reports, one of them.
The Hagman reports, another one of them.
Kind of a lot of the biggies.
His glory?
Yeah, his glory.
Oh, yes!
Pastor Dave Scarlett!
I love Pastor Dave Scarlett.
He's awesome.
He's been on my show.
And I've met him in person several times.
He is awesome.
Actually, let me see real quick if I can just...
You can talk for just a minute.
Let me pull it up because it's kind of cool to give them a shout out if you don't mind.
Yeah, go ahead.
I'm so excited.
This is crazy, actually.
I mean, it's also surreal.
When you went to the...
The big music or a big like film thing that you went to and you're there and you're there with all of your like signs and like Brickfield everywhere and all of that.
So what did your the lady that went for you when she said that people the kids were real responsive?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I bet people from all over the world were coming up, you know, from the Middle East, from South America, you know, to the booth, and just looking at the picture, because it's just the Britfield image of book four, because it's just sort of stunning and interesting.
Quite a few of them thought it was in Turkey, and I'm like, I don't know where you're getting Turkey.
But it was really, really cool and just huge impact.
We had great meetings, just great rapport.
We're in the talks to sell the international audio rights globally through a German publisher.
We're in negotiation right now to sell the international or global rights to the e-book.
So just a lot of things that are happening.
We've got about 18 countries where we're better to lock in.
There's so many layers.
It's just like so many layers.
Like you don't understand You can write a book, but when you do this, I learn every time you come on here because there's so many layers to it.
It's crazy.
There is.
And I said from day one that this is more than a book.
It's a movement.
And it's a movement in literature, literacy, family values, creativity, movies, film, media.
So here's some of our podcast partners that are going to be broadcasting this.
Truth Be Told, Daily Truth Report.
Taylor Sterling.
She's number one in her market in New York and New Jersey radio.
Truthstream.
Love those guys.
They're awesome.
Sons of Liberty.
His glory.
The Missing Link.
The Robert Scott Bell Show.
SGT Report.

Love him.
He's probably my favorite.

I'm so grateful.
Gareth Icke, David Icke's son in England.
He's going to post it on his show.
I did a great interview with him.
Freedom Talk, Defending Our Children.
Talk Radio Europe.
That's out of France.
QBits with Good Dog.
The Awake Nation, Dark Outpost, Church and State, Alex Newman.
He's great.
Just did an interview a couple weeks with him.
Alex is awesome.
I met him.
He came too.
Way across Georgia, 45 minutes from me, doing something with the Okefenokee Swamp.
They're trying to let the UNESCO basically oversee it, so sell it out to the UN, and we're fighting against that.
And Alex Newman came and gave a huge presentation.
He's such a great guy.
He's awesome.
He rolls up his sleeves.
Nothing's held back, and I love that.
That's how we should all be.
Q News Patriot.
Susan Price.
She's awesome.
She's out of Florida.
Challenges to Faith.
Two Mikes.
Jason Alborn.
He's out of...
It's kind of sad.
He was with TNT Network, Radio Network, if you're familiar.
And they lost their funding.
Yeah.
But he's still got his own platform.
So that's in Australia.
So very cool.
I talked with him last week.
Building Hollywood.
Caravan to Midnight, Mr. Wells, John B. Wells, the godfather of radio, and Hannah Faulkner's show.
So those are a couple of our partners.
Thank you for letting me give them a shout out.
You need to get on with CBN, Christian Broadcast Network, that's Pat Robertson's in Virginia.
Sure.
I don't know why they wouldn't do it.
They should do it.
It'd be awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're going to roll up our sleeves and start to hit it.
That's where I got my PhD, so I always think about them.
Yeah, that's good.
Oh, really?
That's great.
Yeah, so we're going to hit it harder.
We'd like to be on 50 or 100 platforms with it, and we will, I think.
I can't wait to hear it.
Fitz would love it.
I can't wait to hear it and show him.
Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest.
I mean, keep in mind, these are middle schoolers, you know, but it's really cute, and it's fun, and it moves along really nice.
And I think what we're going to do, Noah and I were talking once we were driving back that Saturday from the recording, is we're going to make it a yearly tradition with the Britfield and Lost Crown.
It's a radio broadcast.
And next year, what I'll probably do is I'll hire, if you will, professional children actors and adult actors and really do it, if that makes sense.
But in and of itself, I think it's great.
It's good fun.
It's great for the kids.
And it's like an hour and 26 minutes and stuff.
And of course, you don't have to listen to it all at once.
You can break it and then come back or have a break and stuff.
But it's fun.
It tells the whole story.
And so that's kind of a big thing that we're doing right now, shifting and We're doing a lot of that in...
Everything's building towards the movie, if that makes sense.
And we can dig into that if you wanted to.
We're now moving into pre-production.
With the film.
I love it because there's nothing else stopping us now.
As you know, everything's alignment and waiting.
You don't want to get the cart before the horse, if you will.
Everything for me since the beginning of book one has been about the movie, if you can imagine.
Almost 10 years ago, I'm seeing it visually.
I'm writing when I'm reading the book, when I'm editing, and I'm seeing the scenes, I'm seeing the film.
It's all been about the movie, but I've had to sort of, you know, put it in the back because it's like we weren't even close.
And then it's, you know, writing book two and then book three and then even book four.
You know, book four took me almost two years, Britfield and the Eastern Empire.
But now we're excited.
So I was talking with Sam, the producer, last Sunday.
I'll be connecting with him again probably this weekend on Sunday.
And we're looking at directors now and starting to move out to make the offers.
And we're looking at, we have our roster of actors, which is great.
And I will start soon looking at site locations, specifically in Britain and England, along with some other places and stuff.
But I do want to film at least 40-50% in England.
It'll be mostly, if not all, British actors.
What's interesting, and a lot of well-known British actors, but I don't think there's going to be any kind of type of A-list actors because, number one, it doesn't require it.
Number two, it's really a great character actor.
Movie.
And it's really the story.
The story's the character.
The story's the big thing.
Often you have a story and it's okay and then you gotta get a Tom Cruise or you gotta get an A-lister in there to kind of give it a bump or a move or justify its $200 million budget, which is utterly ridiculous.
But no, it'll be fun.
The movie, the book, the movie, the script is going to make the actor.
So it's going to be hard for whoever gets it to come out of that character because we're going home as that.
And that shows you when you have a really good movie.
Let's take, for example, Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
Julia Roberts is a pretty woman, right?
And so she played in a million movies, but that's how she's defined because that character was her, you know?
And so same thing with Harry Potter and the Radcliffe power, whatever, right?
It's hard for him to play in anything else because he is that character.
Yeah, that's very, very, very succinct.
And I was thinking about Star Wars, right?
You had Carrie Fisher, you know, like who, of course, I mean, I was in love with.
I mean, what normal boy wasn't, you know, she was amazing.
I mean, same thing.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
But she never really broke out of that, you know, and I think in her autobiography, her book, you know, and she was doing that tour and stuff.
She talked about how she just, you know, for 20 years, 30 years, could not break free from it.
And same thing with Mark.
Judy Garland.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Sound of Music.
I know Sound of Music.
I mean, Wizard of Oz.
But Harrison Ford, he was the only one that sort of broke out of it, which is very interesting completely, right?
But you're right.
Some get so locked into it.
Well, look at Leonardo DiCaprio.
So you look at him and he's had some great movies.
He's an awesome actor.
But I think it's because he looks so different.
So the Jags in the Titanic, he would look like a kid, even though he was in his 20s, he looked like a kid, and he looks like a man now, and he looks different.
I think if his looks had not changed, he wouldn't have been able to break out of that, because that's how it's going to be.
I think Kate Winslet struggled to get away from that.
She did.
Yeah, she's kind of this seasoned theatrical theater actor.
I say that because most British actors come from the theater, which is great, and then get into television or film.
They don't just sort of get into film or television.
The United States is quite different, although a lot of the great American actors come from theater and will return to theater.
But it's through theater, really, that you learn the craft and, you know, it's doing the same part every night, no matter how you feel.
It's not like a movie, like, take number 75. You don't get a take.
You know what I mean?
You're on.
You're live.
You're in front of an audience.
It's emotion.
I don't care if you're sick, if you're tired.
You know, and it teaches you just incredible skills.
And that's kind of why we did the Britfield and Lost Crown theatrical play.
I mean, I love theatre.
I think it's a great vehicle for children.
Just because your child's going out for theatre doesn't mean they want to be an actor.
You know, it's just being involved with a group, a story.
It's the best time they'll ever have in their life.
And I've seen it.
It might make you a really good politician.
Right?
Or really good in corporate where you're presenting because you're having to get in front of people.
Like I grew up doing beauty pageants and people were like, oh, beauty pageants?
It's not about who the prettiest girl is.
It's about, you know, getting out in front of people, caring yourself well and being interactive and showing personality.
And it's not always the prettiest girl that wins.
It's the girl that, you know, can be animated and look pretty and carry herself well.
And so it's that feeling comfortable in your own skin in front of people.
And theater does that.
It helps you to kind of not have fear in front of crowds.
And really, if you think about every, you know, walk of life, every career, you need the people that are at the top that make the most money are able to get in front of people and talk.
Oh no, it's very true.
I did theater when I was young, but I struggled.
I struggled in school.
I mean, I remember being in, I think it was middle school, and I would take a D if it meant that I did not have to get up in front of the class.
I was utterly terrified.
But I'm like, yeah, I want to get into theater and that kind of stuff.
I've got to break through it.
And I'll be honest, it was really through improv, like, whose line is it anyway, that it broke me, but it made me.
You know, because it's like you're getting up there with really nothing.
It's like it's two actors, and it's like, okay, what's the setup?
And it's like, Old girlfriend and boyfriend meet at an amusement park and he's got an anger problem.
Go!
You know what I mean?
And that's it.
And then you're like, you're going.
And you fail so many times in improv.
And it feels just awful.
But you come back the next day or the next week, and it's like, and then you get one good scene out of five, and then you get two good scenes out of five.
But by the time you come out of it, it's like, you don't care.
You'll talk anywhere.
You'll do anything.
But I think theater's a lot of that for young kids.
It's like you said, it breaks that nervousness of being in front of people, memorizing lines, working as a team, the responsibility of showing up, being in front of a light audience.
I mean, are you kidding me?
With those kind of skills, you can do anything.
And that's kind of what I mean.
mean.
It's not about taking it on to theater, which is nothing wrong with that, or acting or film and television, but it's just, it's the idea of it.
It's extraordinary.
One of the best experiences I ever had when I was younger was at the Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach, California.
I was backstage for a couple of shows.
I was on stage, just small little roles.
Some of the best times I've ever had in my life.
I reflect on it all the time.
So tell me about, as far as the movie, you're looking at the summer to start filming or Are you still on that schedule?
We are, yes.
Yeah.
So I'm hoping that things...
It's been a weird year, I think, for all of us, right?
And it's been a very odd year, a very slow year.
It's been a very indifferent year.
People have been kind of just hesitant, waiting, nervous, fearful.
Holding on to see what happens, right?
They are, yeah.
And it's been the year of indifference.
It's been very hard for movement in many ways.
I mean, we're always moving.
We're not dictated by politics in any sense of the word or even by a country, if you will, because Britefield is, if you will, bigger than that.
25 years, hopefully it's in every library.
You know, it's that kind of thing.
It's not like just for the moment.
And so we don't get distracted by it, but it doesn't help.
I heard something today.
It was saying that churches are saying, we lean right or we lean left.
And this pastor said that we need to stand.
Yeah.
As a Christian, you shouldn't lean.
You should just stand.
And when you just, for the Holy Spirit, when you said that about Brickfoot, I thought, no, it's just going to stand.
It's going to be what it is.
And it is bigger than that.
It's not about leaning here, leaning there in opinions.
It is.
Right?
It just is.
Yeah, I've had this sort of theory.
I call it my Dickens theory.
And Charles Dickens was around before World War II, during World War II, and after World War II. And that didn't make a difference, if you will.
And that's a global war.
You know what I mean?
And so that's how Britfield is.
It's like it has the endurance of time.
And you're right.
I love that.
It reminds me of Martin Luther.
This is where I stand.
I love that line, right?
And Wittenberg, you know, church.
Have you been there by chance?
I have not.
Yeah, I've been there.
It's pretty cool.
It's a small little nothing town in the middle of nowhere, and a small nothing little church.
And it's like, that's where it all started.
And I've used that reference when I said, right now, we as a nation, and even globally, are in an educational reformation.
And so I've used that, and it's true.
It's interesting, too, if you go back in the last six months talking about...
If you listen to some of the interviews I've talked about of where we're headed as a nation, and I've said these things, if you will...
With boldness, I said there is a reckoning coming that likes this world has never seen.
I was thinking about that this morning.
And here we are.
Guess what?
And it's coming.
And it's coming fast, right?
We're not fiddling around for the next 60 or 70 days and blah, blah, blah, and this and that nonsense.
No, it's, you know, the gauntlet's thrown.
The die is cast.
Yeah, there's a lot of cleaning up to be done.
And I think, Chad, we're going to see in our nation as a church.
The church is going to quit this willy-nilly, feel good, everybody, you know, speak it, name it, claim it.
We're going to actually stand on the word of God, all the words, the whole word from end to beginning.
We're going to see a move of God.
We're going to see miracle healings.
We're going to see all the things because we're going to actually take the word for its entirety.
And we're going to have strong Christians with strong relationships with Jesus Christ.
And I believe that's coming.
And we're going to see the church like never before.
And it's just because people are going to be brave enough to say, you know what?
I don't want to live like that.
I don't want to lose America.
And the world doesn't want to lose America.
Right?
It would change the whole world if America did not exist.
Praise God for that.
Yeah, it's funny, too, because the Redfield series, book five, will be in Asia, book six will be South America, and then I bring book seven to the United States in its completion by 2022, I think, or 2032 or 30. We'll end in Boston, which I thought was really cool in book seven.
And it's very symbolic, I think, because that's kind of in many ways where it all started.
You know what I mean?
And so I thought that was pretty cool.
But no, so if everything goes well, we'll be filming probably in summer or fall of next year in England with a release date in November 2026. That's what I'm hoping.
I think things can come together pretty quick.
We're geared up and ready to go.
We've got a very Our polished business plan, our projections, our budgets, our marketing strategy.
Our marketing strategy is an 18-month global marketing strategy.
We'll kick off our global tours in March of next year, starting in England.
So I will be in Britain for three to four weeks around the London Book Fair.
Getting up to Scotland, Wales, and even Ireland.
I just think I need to come travel.
I've not ever been to Europe.
I want to go so bad.
And see, I could just go.
I'll need an entourage.
I'll need, you know what I mean?
You could be doing live broadcasts.
I can sell all these books.
I can talk to people.
They'll say, where are you from, girl, the way you talk?
I'm from the real part of America.
That's what you'll tell me.
Right.
I'm from Georgia.
They'll be like, yeah.
That's awesome.
We're going to have to plan our trip to go to Europe around Britfield so we can do something.
Oh, it's fun, too, because that's what's so fun about the series.
Like coming on set or something.
We'll have to do something.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
For sure.
For sure.
We'll be sending a lot of emails out, if you will, a lot of text, a lot of...
We'd love that for people to come and visit and stuff.
I mean, I know Sam, my producer, we've already talked about it.
He'll be moving there, obviously.
He'll be living there for at least nine months during the duration.
I'm thinking I could be in a scene as a tourist, right?
Looking at the actual tower or something.
How cool would that be?
Like, not the first, but the second book.
I don't know.
At some point.
Yeah, well, yeah, book two's in France, so that'll be fun and stuff.
And the thing with this, too, is it is interesting.
We'll be, as I'm seeing it right now, we'll be up against the new Star Wars movie.
And I find that very ironic, because since I was, you know, 10 years old, since 1977 or whatever, eight years, I mean, Star Wars just influenced me.
Like, if there was one movie that knocked you, it was Star Wars.
And again, I'm not a sci-fi guy, but Star Wars was just, it was different.
It was just, it was incredible, right?
It was just this amazing story of this lone farmer, all the greatness, right?
It's the typical three-act structure, the hero's journey.
I mean, it was all based on that.
It was just perfect.
And I've used it many times, especially when I'm doing writing workshops, as I've done in the past.
You know, as a reference, saying, you know, what can we learn from Star Wars, whether you like it or not?
And there's like nine specific things and stuff.
And so I've always been influenced by it.
I've always said that Britfield and Lost Crown is the new Star Wars, right?
It has nothing to do with it, but everything to do with it, right?
It's the inspiration.
Tom, this lone, you know, Nobody orphaned, 12 years old up in Weatherly Orphanage, forgotten, and yet has this potential thread to the royal, to the true royal bloodline of Britain.
Listen, I'm so in love with Tom.
Like, I love Sarah, right?
Sarah is spunky, and I like Sarah.
But Tom, like, his, and I mean, I'm not, I don't, Don't give anything away from me because I'm not there.
Because I've been so politically engaged with getting President Trump related, I would be through this series in one weekend because I read super fast.
But my seven-year-old is engaged and he has asked me 5,000 questions.
So I'm reading it before bed at night.
He's like, Mama, please.
I told you this.
He said, Mama, please don't stop when you hear me sleeping.
Don't stop.
Don't keep reading.
Because one night I read like three chapters and then I had to explain to him what happened.
He said, Mama, don't do that again.
Don't do that.
So I have to wait on him and he goes to sleep within five minutes.
So it's taking me forever.
But I'm at the part, I want to tell you what part I'm at.
I'm at the part, and I'm trying to think exactly what happened last.
So they had the big explosion, but the investigator got away and they think she's dead.
Oh, yeah, Fontaine.
Yes, Fontaine.
And then I think that I'm just past that.
Was it the fire?
The fire in her apartment?
The fire in her apartment.
I'm just past that.
Okay, cool.
And I don't know how far past that I am.
But anyway.
Okay.
Oh, you're getting into the very thick of it.
I know.
I love book two.
Book two is my Empire Strikes Back.
I've always said that.
You're going to love the ending of book two.
I'm so engaged.
I'm off work for Veterans Day.
I'm going to read it.
I'd like to make the baby sit down and read it with me, but it's so good.
It really is.
I want to reread it already because I've taken so long to read it.
I feel like I could just start back from the beginning and reread it and come back up to where I am to kind of piece some things together.
But anyway.
You'll love two because two really goes, we pull the curtain in two and we go down the rabbit hole.
And we bring out a lot of things.
You're going to be reading too and go, whoa, this isn't like fiction globally right now.
This is what kids get to read and learn about, like real history, real truth.
Who are the puppet masters behind the scenes?
We talk about the committee.
We talk about secret societies.
We talk about bloodlines.
It feels a lot like America.
Right?
Oh no, and when book two came out...
And like the New World Order, and like the World Economic Forum, and the crooked government of Israel, the crooked government of America, and the Rothschilds.
It's all there.
The Rothschilds.
It's in there.
Well, there's something in, it's called Rothenburg Estate in Bordeaux.
Okay.
And I won't give anything away.
But no, it's all in there.
It's all threaded in there.
So it's like, especially for someone like you with your keen mind, if you will, and your great education, real education, it's like it's going to pop, pop, pop, pop.
When I read books, I love to read and I love to write.
So when I read, in my brain, your words are so good.
So I'm creating in my brain what I think it's supposed to look like.
You know what I mean?
And so I'll give you an example, like the Twilight series.
They got so much wrong for me.
And I read it multiple times.
I don't usually read books over and over.
Well, I read the Twilight series like four times.
They ended up burning them later because I was like, this is like witchcraft or something.
But I loved them so much because it was just like a, I don't know, it was engaging and like a deep, like a, I don't know, their attraction to each other, you know?
And so, but when I watched the movie, it was not how I envisioned it at all.
Isn't that funny?
And there's always that danger to it with a book, you know, and it depends too, because sometimes they take too much liberty or they go off the reservation.
I think, like, just so you know, like, here's the Britfield script, right?
And we finished the Britfield script in March of this year, final draft, if you will, polished, very tight.
Two weeks ago, I started, and I wanted to come back through it one more time.
And I didn't know what to expect.
I thought it was, you know, Perfect.
I thought I'd get through it in three to four days.
Took me nine days.
And it comes down to just the minutia of a line or a word.
But I mean, so tight.
But the point is, is that script is coming from the author.
And what I need in the movie or want in the movie is in that script.
We're controlling the production of the script.
But Chad, you'll know if you see it, it's not right.
So I'll tell you two that got it really well for me.
The Hunger Games.
Very close.
I mean, it was very, very similar to what I was envisioning.
And the shack was almost exactly right.
The shack was almost exactly right.
In fact, I cried so hard during that movie, I couldn't hardly breathe.
And I cried when I was reading the book so hard, I couldn't hardly breathe.
And so it's because I'm a counselor and I've gotten sexual abuse disclosures my whole life and my whole career.
And then that girl was, you know, molested and killed or raped, whatever.
It was like picked off from her family.
And that was kind of the anger and the root of bitterness that the dad had that he had to get through in the book.
And so it was, I think that's why I was crying, but it's because it was the imagery that the author had.
And then the movie did such a beautiful job.
I've only watched the movie one time in theater.
I've not watched it again.
I can't handle it.
Sure.
But it was so dead on.
I thought, wow, this was really good in relation to the book.
And so was Hunger Games.
Very much, very closely related to what I envisioned the book to be like.
But, you know, you do get it wrong sometimes.
And I think maybe Twilight was under budgeted for the first movie.
Maybe they didn't wait long enough and get it right.
I mean, I don't know.
It seemed like they got better as they went, but the casting wasn't on.
So it's like then you're stuck with those actors, maybe.
Yeah, it's interesting.
I think, for me, I'm excited because I think the movie's going to bring the book, Britfield, To life, I think in and of itself, it's great.
It's very visual.
I get feedback that it's like we feel like we're in a movie or we feel like we're there.
To me, it's like England is so gorgeous.
And the way that the book is set up, you know, we're starting up in Yorkshire, which is the industrial heart of England.
Think of industrial revolution, you know, and it's set there for that.
There's a reason why Weatherly, the place where the kids have to work all day, is called the factory.
You know what I mean?
There's a lot of undertones, undercurrents.
It's the moors, you know, and the fog and the coldness of December and the wind and the desolate setting of it.
And right on the border of Scotland.
And there's so much to it.
And so you almost have those sort of grays.
And all of a sudden, Thomas would come out of there.
And it's seven days before Christmas, too.
And it was designed that way, to be this sort of Christmas classic.
Same thing with the movie.
Every year, you'll be watching Rip the Lost Crown again because it's a Christmas classic.
But the second they come out, they start and they meet Wilbury.
Who's this sort of old farmer?
I like him.
Yeah, they're trying to get to the train station, right?
You know what I mean?
They've just escaped and everything.
Cops are after them.
I like everybody that helps them.
Everybody that doesn't help, then I punch them in the face.
Yeah, I know, right?
And there is.
And it's showing that it's kind of that first bit of goodness.
Not all adults are bad.
And it's that kind charity, that serendipity, I like to call it Christendipity moment.
And he takes them in, but there's warmth and there's a few Christmas decorations.
It's probably the first decorations they've seen in years.
And there's that sort of color, that light.
And then they get to the train station and then the balloon.
And then once they break through that storm and they see the sky and the moon and the stars...
And then that next morning in Britain, I mean, can you imagine some of those shots we're going to get rolling over the green hills of Britain, the farms, the castles, the towns, the cities, red tile rust?
I mean, this is going to be, I said it yesterday in an interview, the sound of music of films.
I mean, it's so...
You get to the sort of academic world of Oxford, the prestige of Oxford, the streets, the academics, the professors, the colors.
Then you get to Windsor Castle, royalty, the dark burgundies, the gold, the marble.
You get to the city and the excitement of From London, from Hyde Park and the beautiful Serpentine Lake to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral to, you know, everywhere.
And then finally down to Canterbury Cathedral, which is the symbol of religion.
So, you know what I mean?
In England, that is.
So, you know what I mean?
It's very designed for these five quadrants and all these different colors and all this visual.
And we're looking at some really great cinematographers.
It's very interesting, too.
We're looking at some directors that you'd be familiar with.
One of my favorite movies, obviously, was the Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams.
And I was looking at the cinematographer of that, and it was so interesting.
That same cinematographer was a cinematographer on the first Harry Potter movie.
And I thought, wow, interesting.
And then I just watched again, this is my yearly tradition, Little Women with Wayana Ryder.
Yeah.
Remember that?
And I'll be honest, in my opinion, that's a perfect movie.
It's a great story, it's great acting, it's great cinematography, great music, great direction.
Everything about that is so tender and wonderful and heartwarming and they captured it so well.
And, you know, and so this is kind of some of the things that we'll be doing, you know what I mean?
It's just going to be, the colors are going to be rich, the cinematography is going to be rich, the sound quality, the music, the background, the British actors with their theater training, their articulation with words, the humor, the heartfeltness, the struggle.
I mean, I love that scene, you know, where they're in Oxford running and they're at the end of the rope and Sarah twists her ankle.
On, you know, the cobblestone walkway.
Yes, that terrified me.
Yeah, and Tom grabs her, and he's just desperate, and you hear the whistles of the cops, and they see him in the distance, and they're trying the doors to try to get in, and they finally sit on that sort of, you know, marble thing in front of a door, and, you know, Tom's, like, near tears.
And, you know, sorry, Sarah, you know, we did our best.
And it's just, and you could just see it, like, that just...
Brokenness.
You know what I mean?
And all of a sudden the door swings open and there's Professor Hainsworth.
And it's just like hope.
You know what I mean?
It's hope.
And it's just, you know, it's just so lifting.
I just, oh God, this movie is going to knock it out of the park.
Well, and I want to say something like me, because you read everything through perception, right?
So you filter it through your own perception.
You filter it through your own perception, through your own experience.
And so there's two children and they're orphans and they're out and they're going into places and a man by himself letting me spend the night.
And then another man over here and they're all the...
And so my initial reaction is like, oh my gosh, please don't let them take him into sex trafficking or...
My brain is going there, right?
And no, this is not in these books at all, but like in my brain.
And the Holy Spirit, the first time I felt that with the farmer, he said, most people are inherently good.
And so every time that rises back up in me, I think most people are inherently good.
And Holy Spirit said that, right?
And so this book, I love it so much because it reinforces that, that most people are inherently good and they want to help you and they love children and they want good for us.
And then there are literally people that shoot at them to murder them, okay?
Yeah.
So there are really bad guys, right?
Yeah.
But it's just like heartwarming to know that that many people actually are good people that would really help children in crisis.
Love that.
And the script writer, Rick, who he was our sort of a script writer to draft one and two.
And we talked about this.
It was in development for years before I handed it over to be translated.
And it took 15 months to translate into a movie script, which is coming in in about two hours and 10 minutes.
And Rick really caught on that, which I thought was really cool from the book before he wrote the script, was that human factor, the beauty of it when they step out and it's like the first adult they meet.
Gives them, you know, that brings them in for a moment, gives them those new sweaters, you know, gives them a hot bowl of that soup, you know, or stew, and you can taste it.
You can smell it.
I mean, I love the scene where they're, like, washing their hands in that hot water, and it's just, like, it feels so good, and it's, like, he gives them a ride to the train station in 10 pounds, which is a lot for him, and, you know, it's just, it's the generosity.
It's And we all need that.
You know what I mean?
We all need that help.
We all need those, if you will, those angels that step in.
And that's what this book and the series embodies.
You know what I mean?
It's all about hope and courage and friendship and loyalty and family and Yeah.
Yeah.
And feeling that little utterance, you know, when you're at the grocery store and somebody's in front of you and they don't have a whole lot of groceries they have, you know, you can tell they were real specific about what they got and they may have be a single mama or maybe they're a guy that looks like he doesn't have a lot or whatever.
And you feel that utterance like, maybe I should just pay for it.
No, I don't want to, you know, maybe I should.
And then you do do it.
And then later on, you know, they're waiting outside and say, thank you so much.
Like, I don't know how to put your asset in my car.
Or maybe later on, later on, you know, years later, you see them and they're like, you bought my groceries that day.
I had nothing.
And I've had that happen to me numerous times because I do that kind of thing.
You know, not that I'm just, I just try to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Sure.
I'm a middle-class public school educator.
I don't have a huge amount of money, but any of us can give $20, $30, $50.
We can do that and do little acts of kindness, but it can mean all the difference in the world to somebody, and it's a miracle for them.
And that's what's in the book.
right so it's not it is you know when you talk the first time you interviewed with me you told me you know like narnia and different things that they have a supernatural component to them that you know is magical in a sense this book is regular no magic but it's supernatural in that it's things that god would intervene on and so i've that stuck with me as i'm reading it and as i'm you know hearing you talk and all the other interviews and And it really, you've done a beautiful job with that.
Making it where it can happen to anybody because our whole life is supernatural.
We are spiritual beings in a physical body.
And so everything around us can be supernatural all the time.
And let's not even realize it because we're so finite in our thinking about physical things.
Sure.
That was very eloquently put.
And we do touch on it a lot more in book two, which you'll start to catch.
And it's really cool.
I won't give anything away, but the book ends of how it starts and how it ends, and the person they meet at the beginning and meet at the end, and a particular person.
Biblical verse, Ephesians 6, is actually quoted, part of it.
And this whole thing, there's a whole sense that it's like, you know, if we're not giving to others, we're not helping others, then what's the point?
You know what I mean?
And that's the feel of this whole thing.
And, you know, sometimes, you know, someone's down and someone else lifts them up.
And sometimes that person's down and the other one lifts them up.
And it's everyone working together.
And it's real.
You know what I mean?
It's like, you know, when they trip, they fall, they hurt.
You know what I mean?
Well, I'm starting to get a feel like with Sarah and Tom, like her family died.
His family probably isn't dead from what I can tell.
But they don't know where he is, right?
And so when you're watching this play out, it's like God has put her there to be his family and he is there to be family for her in a way that's supernatural.
That's what it feels like to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When do you read book four?
Because we address what happened to her family.
Yeah.
It's bind bending.
I've been holding that baby back for years.
And I had it.
And I'm like, and I remember telling my script writer, Rick, I told him that when I was writing book four.
And he's like, oh, beautiful.
Because for us writers, it's like, you know, when you have that kind of, like, whoa.
Epiphany, yeah.
Yeah, that deep sort of, whoa, you've got to be kidding me kind of thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, book four, it's interesting, too, because book four took a good two years, but it came in at 437 pages.
Wow.
Which is amazing.
Yeah, I was aiming for 450. It came in at 437. Not bad.
That's good.
And I include 11 countries.
So we start in Vienna, we end in Moscow, Russia.
And it has a kind of ending...
Is Putin in there?
No.
Not directly.
Yeah.
Not directly.
But, you know, again, it's the good parts of Russia, which are beautiful and amazing and history and the people and some of the bad actors, as always, you know?
But it's never...
There aren't such things as, like, bad countries, right?
There's just bad dictators and bad people, you know?
So are you going to these places, Chad?
I mean, I know that you're researching them extensively and you are a researcher and all that, but I know you've been to some of these places and I know that, but have you been to, do you go to get inspired there or like, what do you, how do you do that?
Yeah, and I've traveled to pretty much most of these places, including Russia, and did a lot of, you know, in undergraduate, I was British literature, European history, and I had an emphasis on actual Russian history, which was interesting, and some of the literary classics and stuff like that.
And I've always had a heart for Russia for whatever reason.
And Eastern Europe.
And they're just, I mean, they're amazing people, but it's just some of the most beautiful landscape you've ever seen in your life.
Buildings, architecture, I mean, just everything about it.
And so really, that's what I'm doing with these books is I'm putting a spotlight on all these wonderful countries, buildings, people, culture, food, going out of my way.
I mean, you know, The scene behind me, which is Tom and Sarah, they're around this table, and there's, I don't want to give anything away, but there's a third person there.
And Tom and Sarah are now 15, and that's the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and they're looking at these old maps, and basically they're planning to break in.
To the Hermitage in St. Petersburg to steal back a Britfield artifact that has been stolen by the Romanov family.
So how cool is that?
You know, so, but when they go into the Hermitage, I mean, you know, it just, I bring it all out.
I mean, it's like, it's probably the most beautiful museum you've ever seen in your life.
I've always said this about the Hermitage is that in most museums you'll go and you have like a, you'll have like one or two Rembrandt paintings, which is really great.
You know, you're like, oh wow.
You go to the Hermitage, there's an entire Rembrandt room.
You know what I mean?
13 paintings.
You go to another museum, and they've got two or three Renoirs.
And you go to the Hermitage, and they've got an entire room.
And so it's just unbelievable.
I mean, the wealth, the richness of it, it's like nothing you've ever seen.
And so I bring that out in the book, too, as I always do.
Yeah, you're not there yet.
You'll go to the museum, the famous museum in Paris.
I think maybe I am there.
Maybe I'm at the Paris now.
Oh yeah, you might have already gone there.
And they go into that room.
They go into that.
Yes, that stressed me out.
Right?
That weird room, right?
Just disturbing, wasn't it?
And then I was like, go get the book!
Don't leave the book!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the door, and it's like, you remember that?
And it's like, there's got to be another entrance out of here.
I'm like, are these people Masons?
What's up with these people?
There is no kind of secret society.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's all there, right?
Oh, that's cool, yeah.
And then they're in the sewers of Paris.
Oh, and all the mice.
I was like, poor Sarah!
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember I love that line.
Tom goes, I thought they didn't bother you.
She said, not when they're the size of a cat.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Like massive things like, whoa!
Eat my arm off!
Lord, yes.
That was an interesting, yeah.
I mean, I got the visual on that.
I love the Eiffel Tower scene, too.
That was really cool.
It was scary, too, because of the stairwell.
I mean, you know your legs are burning.
I've never been to the Eiffel Tower, but I've been to the Statue of Liberty and I've been to huge lighthouses and just climbing to the top and your legs burning like fire.
And so you're thinking, golly, what if their leg gives out, right?
And they're trying to get away from this crazy man trying to kill him.
Yeah, assassin.
Wait till they meet Oliver's uncle, Henry.
That is very cool.
That will start opening up a world to you.
You're going to go, whoa.
Is anyone at the house that was beautiful that I love so much?
Yes, I loved him.
He wanted the Jeep or something and then the Jeep was obliterated.
Yes.
Oh, you made some progress then, yeah.
I've made some progress.
I don't know where I am.
I said I'm at this part, but maybe I'm more.
Yeah, I think you're farther along.
What happened was, we had a hurricane.
And I went 16 days without electricity.
Oh my gosh.
And so I read a lot then.
So I may be, you know, further than I think I am.
What's cool about the books, too, is they're all outlined very well.
It's scene by scene, and I never waste words, if that makes sense.
It's like every scene is its own beginning, middle, and end.
And in and of itself is complete, you know what I mean?
It's not like little chunks along the way or some fill here and there.
I think, unfortunately, a lot of books out there, especially on the fiction side, it's like they might have this very interesting ending and they've got this great ending or beginning and then ending and stuff.
And it's like, you know, this is kind of fluff or paragraphs of description or you kind of go off on tangents or just stay with the story.
Keep it moving.
And that's what I do with this.
It's just I've always thought about book two.
And I'm like, I love that scene.
I love that scene.
I love that.
So there's like, you know, because each one is its own great scene.
And I mean, book four is...
I can't believe book four came in at 4.37.
That's incredible.
Because it's like, it's so thick.
It's so...
Oh, it's so tight.
And it just moves.
How many pages is it going to be in book five?
For the next four books, I'm shooting for 4.50.
And so I'm really aiming for that.
So let me ask you this.
So when is...
Okay, so two questions.
This is what I'm almost done.
But so did you...
How many...
When is it coming out in the stores?
Like when is Book 4 going to be released?
Yeah, Book 4 of Itfield and the Eastern Empire will be launched and released in July 15th of next year.
But 4 is going to be released next year?
Okay.
But you'll get yours.
They're shipping actually next week.
Yay!
Yeah, so all the fans that bought on the website and even those that buy now.
We've been waiting on our printer for six weeks.
They've been behind, so apologies for anyone that bought book four.
It's frustrating.
I've got stacks of all these envelopes, all addressed all over, literally the nation and the world, ready to go out.
I'm going to be very busy for the next 10 days signing and putting in.
In fact, I got a wonderful post office that I go to, and the woman there is just up, and she's just incredible.
I mean, she's like, and she's going to let me come in.
Early before they open and drop everything off and she's going to take care of it all.
I just talked to her today and I'm like, oh, you rock.
Because it's like, we'll be shipping rounds of a hundred at a time.
I just need it by Christmas.
My nephew will get it.
Oh yeah, it's coming.
And then he reads it, then he lets me have it so I can read it.
But then I have to give it back because you signed it for him, right?
Yeah.
So when are you going to start writing book five?
Yeah, probably not till March.
I'm giving myself a nice long break.
I'm fried, I'm burnt, and to be frank.
But that'll be fun.
I mean, book five is Britfield and the Lost Treasure.
It'll start in South Korea.
Well, actually, it'll start in, I don't want to give anything away, but it'll start in Siberia.
And Russia.
And then move its way to South Korea.
And then through the Asian Peninsula there.
I love it.
And then book six will be South America.
Book seven will be the United States.
So what's nice, though, is by launching book four in January, I've given myself that lead time that will launch book five in January of 2016. 27, if you can imagine.
So, these are the kind of things that you need to, like, think about and plan.
Right, because I know you're doing this, and I really want...
I've been in emails, I think, automated from your company, but about the script, if you wanted to do, like, a play with your high school, middle school.
And so, I haven't pitched that to mine locally, but I want to, and I'm going to tell some of these bigger schools that have, you know, they do screenplays.
They really should...
The theater.
They really should theater.
Take this and use it because it's awesome.
I love it so much.
It's a great play.
I mean, it really is.
What's so great about it is not only is it a fun story, but it takes place in current time.
It's in England, so it's historical.
It's got speaking roles for over 30 actors.
The actors are involved throughout the entire Play whether they're playing the orphans at the beginning or they're cops, you know what I mean?
In London or background at the Oxford or and which is fun because a lot of times in plays it's like you got a smaller role than you yeah you got a kind of weight and stuff and it's like um it's it's and it's just I mean it moves the whole time the way that the play is set up it's like you have your opening scene on the main stage and then when those lights go off you got lights coming up over here you got another scene And then that goes down and this comes back up and then so on.
So it never stops and it shouldn't if it's done correctly.
We use the aisles when Tom and Sarah are walking or running away or something.
You're like, whoa!
They're like going right by you.
You feel like you're there.
You know?
Oxford, you got someone in like a trench coat with his little hat and he's like, he's hailing a cab and he's running out and past you to go get the cab.
At Oxford, you got the students talking as they're walking up with their backpacks and books and You know, it's meant to be just one step removed from a film.
And it's fun.
It's exciting.
It really is.
And it's interesting, too.
Michelle Shoemaker, the theater director, had said she's done like probably 90 to 100 theater plays and musicals.
And she said, this is the first time that I noticed that all the actors really had to work extra hard and work together.
Because usually, like with musicals, you always have the key of the music.
And they're not normally used to doing theater plays.
And this is an actor's play.
That is really what theater is supposed to be.
Unfortunately, I mean, I have nothing against musicals, but you alienate 80 to 90% of kids that want to do theater.
Musicals are only good for three or four actors that have great voices that are singing the main roles.
Let's be honest.
And everyone else is just in the background.
And it's like, that's not really theater.
And Sound of Music is different, you know, because that just rocks and it's incredible.
Anyway, so yeah, but no, it is.
I encourage, you know, teachers to...
It's all streamlined, too.
You can go to the Britfield website and order it and license it and download everything.
You know, the actors play, the directors play.
We walk everything by.
We have all the cues for the sound effects, visual slides.
We have the director's notes scene by scene, lighting, costumes, everything.
And again, too, we always leave the creativity up to the director.
They can do what they want to, but we do walk everything through.
There's like 18 months of time in that thing.
It's a lot of work.
And it's a big play.
It's exciting.
It's fun.
It's different.
It's so exciting.
Well, I'm on the library board for my county, and so I want to, and I'm on, like, there's a regional board that has, like, several different counties, and I was telling one of them in the county across the way, I'm like, we have to get these Britville books in all of our libraries.
Like, yeah, we just need to get an order form and do them, so I've got to do that so I can get them in South Georgia, right?
That'd be awesome.
So I need to do that.
I'm going to work on that.
But tell everybody how they can order the books, and I know you have your website, and how they can follow you and stay engaged with you, Chad.
Again, if you order any of the...
And we're stocked and we're getting things shipped with about, you know, one week turnaround.
So we're plenty set for Christmas, getting it there before Christmas.
But if you go through the website and order the Britfield books, you'll get signed Britfield books with a sticker and bookmark.
And I think it's cool because I'm honestly...
I won't have time to be signing books much more.
That's going to be shifting in the next four to six weeks.
I don't have time anymore.
Even this morning, I was signing and signing and signing so many books.
And it's great.
I'm honored to do it, but it's a great way to get signed copies if you go through the Brickfield website.
These are great gifts.
These are great for kids, adults, youngest readers, seven, oldest readers, 93.
As I told you before, I just did an interview yesterday with a podcaster, you know, young guy.
And he's like, he goes, I got to let my dad do this interview with you because he read all three books and he loves them.
And he's a huge fan.
And his dad's like in his 60s.
And I thought it was just the coolest thing.
And the dad's like, I mean, we're just talking shop.
We were talking about the series and the books.
And and so, you know, and they're designed that way.
I mean, they really are.
It's like a modern day James Bond meets, you know, the born identity beats, you know, Narnia.
You know, so they're fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're awesome books.
They're awesome.
I mean, I love them.
Like, I love them as much as my seven-year-old loves them.
And then my husband was like, what's it about?
And so I started telling him, well, then what happens?
Well, then what?
I'm like, well, you read them.
Why are you asking me?
Keep walking him through it.
Yes.
He don't want to read them.
He wants me to tell them about it.
He said, well, read it to me while I'm driving.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I've already read them.
Right?
So, well, everybody go buy the books and you will not be disappointed.
And he's not going to keep signing them.
I mean, he's going to sign them for me because I'm going to sit on straight.
Always.
You got to sign them.
No, I'm kidding.
Go order them right now for Christmas.
My nephew is in the sixth grade and he loves them.
He is like, Aunt Candy, am I getting a book for Christmas?
When is book four coming?
He eats them up in like a week.
He's ready for a new one.
So y'all go get them.
It's amazing.
There's nothing better than them.
So it's as good as it gets.
So go get them.
And Chad, thank you so much for coming on.
Oh, you're welcome.
And it's always an honor to be on and I appreciate it.
And Your time is valuable and thank you.
Thank you for being so supportive of what we're doing and we're grateful.
Grateful for your prayers and grateful for your time.
And we will continue to pray.
And y'all do.
Y'all pray into it.
Pray into the perfect actors and actresses for these folks.
Pray for the film.
Pray for the film.
Pray for the finances.
Pray for it to be just everything to be ordered.
And the Bible says that a righteous man's steps are ordered of the Lord.
And so we just pray that every single step of the book is ordered of the Lord and that it is so effortless that you know it's Him.
Amen.
Amen.
Thank y'all so much.
Y'all see y'all next week on Jesus, Kins and Babies.
I love you.
God bless you.
God bless America.
As Christians in a Christian country, we have a right to be at minimum agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied.
We literally should be at war with fucking Israel a hundred times over, and instead we're just sending them money, and it's fucking craziness.
Look at the state of Israel, look at the state of Tel Aviv, and look at the state of Philadelphia.
You tell me where this money's going, you tell me who's benefiting from this.
I am prepared to die in the battle.
Fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any brights to my property and to take away my God, go fuck yourself.
Will I submit to that?
And if you've got a foreign state, you've got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they're supporting?
God, right now, would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that's willing to put their neck on the line and say, we stand with them.
We stand with you.
You can look at Trump's cabinet.
You can look at Biden's cabinet.
It's for Jews. - I have a black friend in school.
I have nothing against blacks.
She has nothing against me.
She understands where I'm coming from.
Excuse me, I'm a Jew, and I'd just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you're like animals.
