The Food for Thought Faithcast with Be Rob
I Joined For The Memes, Stayed For The Miracles, with special guest Dave L Hall.
A friendship forged in the fire of 2020 takes center stage as we sit down with Dave—once a chef running a fine-dining restaurant in Vermont, now a man who says his truest title is redeemed. COVID didn’t just shutter his business; it cracked open a worldview. With time on his hands and questions on his mind, Dave dove into Q forums, Telegram live chats, and the chaotic physics of online movements. He saw how anonymity can empower people to uncover truth, how digital trails rarely vanish, and how fast a compelling claim can outrun the facts.
From there, the road gets literal. Dave crossed 43 states without a mask, documented the journey, and watched social platforms erase him—43 Facebook accounts, “unpersoned” again and again. He shares what those bans taught him about speech, influence, and how movements morph when money and clout enter the room. A trip to Mount Rushmore brought screen names into real life, revealing both the thrill and the confusion of mixing lore with community. The stories are candid, sometimes raw, and always aware of how easy it is to become what you fight.
But the heartbeat of this conversation is transformation. Dave talks about shedding alcohol and chaos, losing 50 pounds, finding a church, and rooting his days in scripture. He reflects on Q drops as parable-like prompts that many misread, and on how division and ego strangled the good he wanted to do. The pivot is unmistakable: away from performative outrage and toward Christ-like love—the kind that tries to love Judas, not just Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether the “great awakening” was more spiritual than political, this story offers a clear, grounded answer.
If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a rating with one takeaway you’ll carry this week. Your voice matters—and your heart even more.
Hey guys, it's B Rob. Um this guest. He's gonna cuss a little bit, but let me tell you, when I first met him five years ago, every other word out of his mouth was a cuss word, and he has come a long way, and that is a miracle to God. And I just want to say that he is a patriot friend of mine. I uh met in the Q movement. He's an Anon friend of mine. He'll explain all that to you. But um I'm sorry about the language, and I hope you enjoy because this to me is an amazing phone call. Oh yes, B. Robinson, Food for Thought Face Guest. I'm your host, and it is a glorious day, and I've got a wonderful guest with you. Uh me, me and this guy have been friends since since how long, Dave? I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, at least five plus years. Yeah, I think it was uh was it we lost track of time.
SPEAKER_02:When did y'all uh what was the year y'all went to uh Mount Rushmore?
SPEAKER_03:Uh that was uh that was j uh late June, July of uh 2020.
SPEAKER_02:So it had to have been 2018-2019 is when we started.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I mean that that's definitely where we where we know where we became close. You know, I mean I think I think we may have dabbled uh in the overall social media world uh prior to that, but like where we became close, that was that was kind of the time frame. So we're looking at five five and a half years, five, five and change.
SPEAKER_02:Well, Dave, tell them tell them who you are.
SPEAKER_03:Uh so yeah, my name's Dave. Uh I have I have a lot of uh you know uh names or personas. Um Facebook was pretty much my overall battlefield. Uh I I kind of stuck to Facebook as far as like, you know, when it comes to like social media purposes. Um Dave Lincoln was probably who I was most known for. But um I mean there's 43 accounts out there, so I mean I don't know. I mean, people may know me from somebody else, some other moniker. Um nonetheless, uh if the first name was Dave, I mean you pretty much know me.
SPEAKER_02:Um huge telegram following. Huge telegram following. I think that kicked off around 2020 as well.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, telegram telegram's kind of funny, you know. Um, telegram's funny because I mean, like obviously, well, you know, while I was working for the Patriot voice, um we we went from like 25,000 to like 81,000 because I would because of you know, like my my ability of doing live chats and stuff. Um, and we were doing those events at that time. Um don't get it twisted. I'm not necessarily uh pro Patriot voice at this moment in time, at this moment in time. Right. You know, I'm you know, there's a lot of story that goes behind all of that. Um, but no, I mean I made myself present and I put myself out there and I try to invite other patriots to try to like uh create some level of camaraderie um to try to you know make it make each individual realize that your voice matters.
SPEAKER_02:Right. Well I was I was telling people on the podcast I was recording today about the first Q drop, and I remember the day I saw it, it was the day it dropped. And there were only you were only so many of us on 4chan back then, and then it grew, it grew, it grew, it grew, it grew, then it went to Reddit to the Great Awakening page, and uh the the whole Q website was up, which told you who was good, who was bad, who had flipped. No, that's huge.
SPEAKER_03:Who that's huge and you know this Friday, this Friday is the 17th anniversary.
SPEAKER_02:Right, right. You know, technically by day, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:So um sorry, the eighth anniversary. The seventeenth anniversary that I was referring to most recently was the Bitcoin anniversary when it comes to uh Bitcoin. Um two two monumental things that are both popping up on Friday, which is I also find as weird. Um But as far as like the being the Anon and like back in the day stuff, um I I can't I can't take credit for any of that. You know, I mean I I came late into the scene as far as people were, you know, were concerned. Um I didn't really like pop onto the scene until 2020. Um like like COVID happened, and that's kind of where where I had my personal awakening. Um the 2016 uh Trump presidency, uh I I I I was not necessarily on board. I was more of a libertarian myself. I was somebody who uh kind of was against uh Hillary and Trump at that time.
SPEAKER_02:Me too, bro. I thought Trump was a joke, bro, until I woke up at three o'clock that morning. I don't know what woke me up. I did not care about that election. I knew we were gonna lose. As far as we, I don't know who I'm speaking about, but I just knew we were screwed as a nation. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah, you were you were against the establishment. Right. And to us at that to us at that time, we felt like the establishment was winning regardless. It was like the left wing and the right wing were all both of the same bird. Right. You know, and a lot of people today, a lot of people today feel the same way.
SPEAKER_02:Well, you know, so I'm gonna tell you, when I woke up that night at three, bro, it was like I was switched into another dimension. And my life dramatically changed. Like I was working at a Ford store, the economy just clicked on, and I made more money in those four years than I ever made in my life. It was crazy, bro. And I learned, you know, more things than I learned ever in my life in those four years.
SPEAKER_03:Now, you know, and like to be totally honest with you, too. I mean, in that time frame, I mean, I was a restaurant owner and I was, you know, I was I was a chef and I was a restaurant owner. Um, so I will I I was very focused on my life and what was going on right in front of me. So I was not very worldly. I was not, I was not well traveled, I was not somebody who was like focusing on social media or politics because I mean I I I had my my head was uh on the cutting board.
SPEAKER_02:Right. You you you're you were in that box, big boy to you.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. So what forced me out of that box and got me to like actually realize that there was more going on around me was COVID. Now, so all of a sudden COVID like destroyed my restaurant and um I found myself in a position where I was unemployed. You know, like there was no way I was gonna run a fine dining restaurant in Vermont that wasn't allowing any um alcohol delivery or any of you know$45 plates don't don't sell well in to go containers. It's all about presenting. You know, so yeah, you know, so I mean I pretty much took you know took my out, uh took my exit, and I had nothing but time on my hands. Um, so I focused on uh social media at that point. You know, I gotta be honest with you, you know, I mean, as far as like, you know, everybody talks about like how they got involved with like, you know, 8chan or you know, 4chan or 8 kun or whatever in this time frame. What what really woke me up and and made me realize and decide that um being an anon was a possibility um to to to create a persona online was the uh the Netflix show um Don't Fuck With Cats.
SPEAKER_01:Really? Have you ever seen it? You ever seen it? No. Interesting title there.
SPEAKER_03:Don't fuck with cats. Okay, so it's it it's based. I'm I'm serious, that's what it's called. It's called Don't Fuck with Cats. Man. Um it came, I want to say it came out in early 2020. And um the whole concept is is that this guy randomly posted um torturing cats on uh I I don't know if it was a HN or what you know, one of those, one of those like you know, underlying underground channel. Um yeah, so he was posting these uh videos of like torturing cats. So what happened was like it created this like internet um uh you know phenomenon where you all of a sudden had 50,000 people all of a sudden trying to figure out who is this guy. So um it's a great show. You should watch it. I mean it's a great documentary, but that's what really woke me up because all of the people that all of a sudden were like dissecting this and all of a sudden becoming these people that were trying to find this guy um were doing so under Anon names and monikers because they were trying to protect themselves as well. Because you're basically going after somebody who um is doing criminal activities. Um and and and if you watch, I don't want to ruin the show for you. Um, but but but but somebody who's somebody who like is willing to do that for like animals, um, you're looking at the underlying tones of like what is going to become a serial killer.
SPEAKER_02:Or or what has been actually going on.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, you know, I mean, like when you kind of kind of transcend the lines, I mean, like, so I mean that's the thing too. I mean, okay, so getting into the Q concept of like, I mean, uh people uh have used the internet as a tool to benefit themselves for for their for their evil doings. It has also left a trail. Right. It has left it it has left a trail for those anons or for those white hats to be able to dissect and and and pick up on that trail and potentially per you know persecute you over this. Right. And and and we're we're watching that play out, and we're watching it play out in slow motion. I get that. I mean it's it's all a move, it's all a movie. Yep. Um, but you can be a white hat, you can be an anon that has a powerful voice, yep, and never disclose your actual personal identity. So don't fuck with cats kind of shows that. It shows the fact that you can have heroes that uh don't necessarily wear capes that can track you down and dissect your movements based on your IP addresses and or like looking at you post a video and they catch a glimpse of a certain window on a certain corner of a certain building, and next thing you know, like Joe Schmoe, Anon, um pin pinned you and kind of like helped solve these crimes. So, anyway, fast forwarding in that show, the guy does become a serial killer where he starts uh targeting people. You know, it starts it starts starts off as killing kittens, and then it goes into like actually targeting humans, and a group of anons that were so butthurt about him harming kittens, um created all these monikers in a network, and they dissected this guy's movements, and and they literally saved lives because of it. They call a serial killer because of it. So, anyway, so I watched this in early 2020. Um I was off you know, restaurant closed, I was off of work, and then uh COVID happens, and um that's that's crazy that that woke you up, though.
SPEAKER_02:That's amazing, man.
SPEAKER_03:Because well, you know, like you know, that was part of it. That that's what you know, like that was like the initial, um, the initial aspect to the fact that like my voice mattered, and it didn't matter if it was actually my voice. Right, right. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, so um it's the message. It's it's almost that's why that's that's biblical, bro. You realize that, right? The gospels, the the the gospels tell us not, we don't we don't shine for us, we don't do it for us. We shine for him. I love that. You know, I love that.
SPEAKER_03:I love that it's funny you say that. Okay. So so so I let me continue on that. That's a beautiful statement, B Rob. Um, because within within the month after me watching that show is when all of a sudden COVID happened. Okay, so and I watched this video online um and it was uh from our from our my our close friend uh Aaron Ness. Oh yeah. And Ness posted this video about um about Oprah Winfrey, and it was like showing uh I want to say this is like a day or two after like COVID like really happened, and I want to say that St. Patty's Day, March 17th, 2020, was kind of like COVID happening. Oh yeah. So it was like it was like within a day or two of that, and he was and had this video, and I he didn't take it himself, but regardless, it was showing her compound or whatever on how they had all this yellow tape and everything around like these entrances on her property. So we're talking March 2020, and it was just him in his car talking about this, and then he like dove into these video pictures of uh Oprah's uh property, and that was kind of like to me, like all of a sudden epiphany. I mean, whether or not those fucking pictures are real or not, I mean, I don't know. I we we we can all allege. And I can say that now five years later. But at the time, to me, it was like verbatim, and I was just like, wow, this is like might as well be the news, it might as well be like CNN, you know. Right. Um so at that time frame, the only people that I had really met in the movement um were uh Aaron Ness, uh uh our our good friend Jacqueline, um, and uh you know, fast forward the next 90 days or so. Um I I was posting like crazy, I was posting crazy like crazy like everybody else was.
SPEAKER_02:Right, right. Hold right there, let me say something, okay? Yeah, please. That that March, my band was on a local station, news station, with doing the song that I wrote a year prior called The Great Awakening, bro. I know the song. And the band broke up right after that because you know why? Because everybody in the band was nurses but me. And they just couldn't grasp the whole thing that I was not gonna acknowledge COVID. Yeah, yeah. I mean that's crazy, isn't it? But that that just tells you like I've been doing my research for a minute. But but I wanna I want to thank guys like you who came aboard and started spreading the word even more and and growing it even more.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the amount of divide that we all face in that time frame when it came to like close friends and family, like was like really profound. Oh yeah. By design. You know, I mean, like during COVID, I traveled through 43 states without a mask to prove a point. And I did it publicly over multiple platforms to show everyone. And you know how many times I've been sick? Zero.
SPEAKER_02:And you know what? I was jealous the whole time. You and Jackie was on the road, man. I was watching y'all. I was stuck at my slang job, which I finally got out of.
SPEAKER_03:A lot of you were, and a lot of you were, but you know, like the the one thing was is that there was the constant support system of people like promoting and pushing. You know, so I mean you everybody was there. I was like, you weren't there, but you were there. Like everybody watched it, it all happen, you know, and I continued that like well on through the entire Biden concept, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Like I'm now now that I look at it about it, Dave, I was sitting at that desk ten hours a day on that computer doing research for a reason. So, you know, we all played our part. It's amazing.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I know everybody plays a role, dude. Everybody plays a role, you know, there's no question. I mean, like, I mean, you look down even to like the any any basic uh um um war or or situation where there's um conflict, uh, you may have the guy in the front lines, but it still requires somebody to be at the desk to be able to like to be able to hit the keyboard because somebody has to support him, whether it be the nurse, whether it be the supply guy supply clerk, whether um wars are not won only on the front lines.
SPEAKER_01:Yep. Yep. Especially in today's world.
SPEAKER_03:No, yeah, you nailed it. And I, you know, like I mean, as far as that's concerned, I mean, the guy on the front lines has anywhere from 12 to 20 people behind the lines supporting him. So the only reason why he's even able to be there is because of the fact that that that those other 20 people show up every day. That's amazing. You know, and that's the thing too, like none of this is about me. I've I I've never wanted it to make it about me. It's never about me whatsoever. I was I was I was blessed and and uh able to put myself in a position where I could be a citizen journalist and put myself into these positions where I could go places and take photos and and give some kind of uh uh level of credence to all of everyone else at home.
SPEAKER_02:Uh yep. And they won't even let you on Facebook anymore. You've been trying.
SPEAKER_03:No, I'm 43 accounts later. I mean, it is what it is. I try.
SPEAKER_02:But you know, like I'm blessed to have this one for a year because I had like 17 before this was.
SPEAKER_03:You know, it's just it's to the point of nonsense. I mean, they have to that's all they got, dude. That's all they got is to censor us. That's all they got.
SPEAKER_02:I know, because we don't you we don't use their satanic technology against them.
SPEAKER_03:No, we nailed it. We nailed it all down. I don't even I mean Facebook, everybody's like, oh, I was in Facebook jail. I was like, what's that? They just like removed me. Yeah, they unpersoned me. Oh, yeah. So on that, dude, so that fuck uh that class action lawsuit uh that came came out in 2023. So I chimed in on it, right? Okay, so my my original account was 13 years old, and I had spent over$10,000 worth of Facebook advertising uh for my restaurant that was attached to my name is my original account. Okay, so like I thought that it was gonna be a pretty reputable payout, right? So all of a sudden I get the payout and he and I got it like last week. Uh$32.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I think it's about the same as I got.
SPEAKER_03:Bro, bro,$32.$32. So yeah, so don't hold your breath.
SPEAKER_02:Yep, yep. Well, do you want to talk a little bit about the Patriot voice and how that all shook out and all that, or no? You don't want to give them uh give them the airtime.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, listen, I'll get into it. I'll get into it. The Patriot Voice, uh the Patriot Voice was originally created um, okay, so uh uh John, uh QAnon, John and I, um we we we met online back in like March 2020. And we weren't necessarily close, uh, but it was somebody who I found in the overall um algorithms to matter. So at the time I thought he mattered. Um nonetheless, between March, like I talked about the don't fuck with cats, and um Rushmore, the few people that I found that mattered were um uh Jacqueline, uh Aaron Ness, uh QAnon John. And uh all of a sudden, so I made this post. I made this post um, I want to say it was like May of 2020. And it was about um and it was a breakdown that I had done, a little bit of digging that I had done. It's not necessarily profound. A lot of people have done the same dig on the Titanic, on how that basically uh ushered in the Federal Reserve. So all of a sudden I catch this uh invitation to Rushmore to be a uh special guest. Um this was uh from Gene Ho and Nadine Ho to be a special guest out at Rushmore. And Gene Ho was the president's photographer, correct? Yes, he was. He he was he was Donald Trump's uh photographer for the first for the first um for the first term and the the conspiracy theory is that he's Bruce Lee. That's so funny.
SPEAKER_02:But they add all kind of stuff to us to make us look incredible.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no. All of all that all of that all of that stuff is literally retarded. You know, it's all of that stuff is literally retarded. So, you know, it's funny, you know. So um so anyway, so like I I originally became friends with Nadine, and I didn't know who she was. She was she was to to me, it was just Nadine Ho. She was just uh another another patriot online, and then all of a sudden she caught wind of like what I was putting out there and she invited me out, and I and I and I was kind of like initially, you know, like I mean it's the internet, bro. Like, I mean, everyone everybody's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, you want me? You know, like I mean, it's no it's no more than going on like any one of these sites and all of a sudden somebody's trying to catfish you.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_03:Uh oh, it is what it is. So anyway, so like I I decided, yeah, sure, I'll come out and uh and I'll be part of this. And uh so I decided I was going, and I so I I drove from Vermont to Rushmore, and on the way I picked up Jacqueline in New York City, and then we drove out to Rushmore. It was like 35 hours straight. So like when I get to Rushmore, like dude, I was like, I was like half awake. Um and all of a sudden we get to Did y'all get blocked?
SPEAKER_02:Did y'all get blocked by that tribe? Do you remember that? The main road got blocked for like three hours by a tribe of Native Americans.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that was up in that was up in Keystone. Okay, so Keystone is a little outside of uh Rapid City. So where we were staying was Rapid City. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:So y'all covered another way.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so Rapid City is like the the major city that's closest to Rushmore. Right. And you're maybe about you're maybe about uh I mean based on memory, about 30 miles out. Um Keystone is the next smallest large town, if that makes any sense. Yeah. Um Keystone is actually where Rushmore is, so you have to kind of head up into the mountains and kind of head up to the hills to get to where Rushmore is. Right. Um when we came into Rushmore, that's where they were having the QBQ, and it was all like this like camper, you know, like everybody goes to like a campsite, you know, that's where they were doing all this like Q campfire stuff. But it didn't make any sense for the uh for the event that I was invited to. And now the event that I was invited to was at the Alex Johnson Hotel. It's like the only like nice hotel in Rapid City. That's where like that's where all of like it's expensive, dude. It's like it's like you know, damn near$500 a night. It's a beautiful hotel. So anyway, so Jacqueline and I, as we like pulled into we hadn't, we didn't have so I brought I brought tents and stuff. I you know, like I didn't know what to expect.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_03:So so we pull in, we pull into uh Rapid City, and then we decide that we're gonna stay at the Rushmore, which was like the second-tiered hotel. Yeah. Um, and it was like within walking distance of the Alex Johnson. So the Alex Johnson was where like you know, Q and On John and everybody was staying, and that's where all of the action was happening. That's where like the Hottie Tottdy. Yeah, no, yeah, you get it. You get it. Yep. But it was in walk, but it was in walking distance, and the rushmore was beautiful too. So I was just like, this is good enough. I mean, like, this is like beautiful. Let's just stay here. Um, so anyway. Fucking hilarious.
SPEAKER_02:Uh that's good stuff, man. Well, let me just tell you, bro, if if it wasn't for you guys that came along like in 2020, because we we have been f I I think uh uh Aaron, I think Aaron was one of the originals too. Uh we've been fighting meme wars and and printing memes and printing frigging oh yeah, memory for two years. So we were already being we were already being watched. So we were the first people taken down. So you guys were fresh on the scene.
SPEAKER_03:There's no question. That Ness is old school. He he's like he's a he's an OG Anon for sure. Oh yeah. You know, and it's just like, you know, it's funny too, because like I mean, like I I I as we got over there, like we we got our hotel and and and all if you've ever been to Rapid City, all of the um the streets, they have all of these like bronze statues of all the the presidents. Okay, so like in front of each establishment, there's like a bronze statue of all the presidents. So so Jacqueline and I pull off to the Rushmore, the hotel that we were staying at, and we parked, and the bronze statue in front of that is uh uh of JFK and John John. Wow he has his arm down and he's and he's holding John John, and it you know it's just and like to us, like at that moment in time in 2020, like to us it was just like symbolism is like you know, we're personal the whole conspiracy of John John being not dead and cube started from the beginning. So as ridiculous as that sounds, it's still not off my chessboard because I have seen off the s I don't feel like it's necessarily off the chessboard either, because I mean you go back into like the Falkabal and so on and so forth, and a lot of the stuff that woke everybody up is all there for a reason. Right, exactly.
unknown:Yep.
SPEAKER_03:You know, so I mean and we also need to understand too that I mean a Q made it very clear that disinformation is also important.
SPEAKER_02:Absolutely, it's necessary. And that's that's one of the things I had to keep telling people in the beginning in the first two years when I was just throwing stuff out there, and people were freaking out, bro. My whole the whole downtown music scene like went against me. People I known for 20 years, they're like, this is foolish. This is this is retarded. And I'm just like, okay, whatever you say. But you know what God says, if you step out on the water, man, you might lose a couple things, but you're gonna gain so much more, you know?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_02:You take that leap of faith. It's wild, man. And uh guys, we I'm sorry for Dave's profanity. He's working on that. He's he's he's oh yeah, I should have heard him the first time I talked to him on the phone. Every other word was the ebb bomb because the background he comes from. I mean, he comes from up north, he's military. I feel like I've been pretty good. You've been very good, bro. You've been very you've been very good, but uh man, it's been a it's been a good uh 30 minutes, man. We got to do this again. We got a lot more to talk about.
SPEAKER_03:No, I mean we're we're we're barely scratching the surface, man.
SPEAKER_02:Not even, bro. I just wanted to get, you know, kind of where we came from, what what we have been doing for seems like forever now. I mean, I'm so tired that all I can do is rely on God at this point. And I think I think you feel the same way, bro.
SPEAKER_03:I'm glad you said that because um this has been like a uh it's been quite the evolution. Um I am not at all the same man that I once was. Uh as far as my love for Christ, uh that is uh Christ is all that matters at this point. Um as far as the plan worrying about myself and worrying about Q, uh that's all a side note. It's it's literally a side note. I have dug into scripture. Um I am I'm living my day uh based on the Lord and not on myself.
SPEAKER_02:Uh I honestly think that was the plan, bro. Is to bring everybody back.
SPEAKER_03:I know, I know, I know. And it's you know, it and we knew that all along.
SPEAKER_02:Yep. Biblical. It's been said many times.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, you made it very clear about the idea of ascension. We are all rising above. Um the lack of division. I spent too much time on division. I spent too much time on uh worrying about who wasn't part of the plan.
SPEAKER_02:Right. I couldn't do it, bro. That's why I stayed far away. I didn't stay far away from groups. I knew the people that were true. I mean, you asked to meet me for lunch. I knew you were real. I knew you were true. Um, a couple other people as well. I just I tried to stay clear of a lot of distractions because I saw it happen, you know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and you saw that maybe earlier than some others. I and you know, we're all on a different path when it comes to like timeline. Um there's a lot of nonsense that's attached to Q that has that that is that is not Q. Right. There's a lot of stuff there in social media that people refer to as Q that's not Q. It's it's it's not in the drops. Um, the drops themselves are very big biblical. The drops are very um rewarding to Christ.
SPEAKER_02:And um they're even talking about it's it's even metaphors like Christ spoke.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, agreed. You know, absolutely agreed. Um, I mean, if you really want to get into it, the drops are written almost scripture-like. Yep. You know, so so a lot of people take that stuff and they run with it and they try to create their own uh offshoot. And Q also covered that too. And Q also said right off the bat that there are people that are gonna rebrand and repackage and try to steal this movement.
SPEAKER_02:Yep, and make money off of it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, of course. We're none of us are here for any profit. I mean, I I I've never profited, I don't want to profit. I have if anything, I've spent a tremendous amount of money on the profit. Absolutely. You know, on the movement. There is no profit. It was oh, he's a grifter, he's a grifter. No, I was involved with an organization that was trying to spread it so that way everybody would benefit. I mean, sure, that organization allegedly may have profited, but I can't say that I took part in that. Absolutely. And once that, you know, and once that came apart where um that was what everybody was saying, I separated myself from it.
SPEAKER_02:Smart man, Brandon, smart man.
SPEAKER_03:I can go on the record with that as well. I mean, I'm not I'm not here for accolades. I mean, this ain't about me. None of this is about me. I just want people to um to understand um what's going on uh as far as this awakening is concerned, on on how biblical it is, yeah, and the fact that uh being united is how we how it is truly. I mean, Q said that how many times. I mean, we need to like not be divided. We need to be divided. Should be lost. You know, I mean, like we are we are so constantly divided because of based on ego, based on this human ego, you know, and and a lot of it's coming from people that claim that they know Christ, and uh it's all based on ego, dude. And I'm guilty of it in the past. Absolutely. And I I will gladly apologize to anybody that I was ever wrong to. Um, I just want everybody to kind of get to a point where um united we stand. We love like Christ. I mean, you know, yeah, yeah. So if you want to be Christ-like, it has nothing to do with loving Jesus. Nope. What it has to do with loving Judas.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, well, that's what I'm saying is be like Christ. Yeah. He loved Judas and he even knew he was gonna betray. Absolutely. Absolutely, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Average person that loves Christ is not prepared to love Judas.
SPEAKER_02:No, absolutely, absolutely. And the average person who loves Christ don't even love Christ, they love the idea of Christ. The package the packaged soul idea of Christ. To love Christ, you gotta kind of live like Christ. I'm not saying you gotta go walk through the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights and don't eat, but I'm saying you gotta not be afraid to share your faith. You know, you have the story. Yeah, I always say the difference between a biography and a testimony is a biography is your story. A testimony is how it's God's story of how he used you. Does that make sense? Amen.
SPEAKER_03:It completely makes sense. I mean, you have two paths, you have two paths down the road, and all all Christians walk down two paths. Those that believe in God and those that live like God desired them to live.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_03:And I guarantee you that that path of walking down that road of living godlike is gonna be uh lonesome. It's hard too.
SPEAKER_02:It's very hard because trust me, I I I try to sway the fence, and you can't even do that, man. No, man. But it's hard in this world because we get bombarded. We get bombarded like we got to get up and like like pray before our feet hit the ground, bro. Because we never know what we're gonna open our phone to, we never know what we're gonna open our computer to, we never know what we're gonna walk out in this world to. It's crazy, bro. It really is, man.
SPEAKER_03:Fair to say that God knew all that was gonna happen, though.
SPEAKER_02:Yep. You know, yep.
SPEAKER_03:He knew when he wrote the beginning.
SPEAKER_02:Yep, absolutely, man. And this it's an amazing time to be alive, man. It's it's an amazing thing to watch you walk through your walk. It's an amazing thing to watch Jackie walk through her walk. Uh it's an amazing thing to watch everybody walk through their walk, you know?
SPEAKER_03:I ever felt so confident on who I am until I found Christ.
SPEAKER_02:That's what I'm saying, bro. True. Truly. Because you really, you really die to your old self. Like you're not a you're not the person anymore. You don't even feel like that person.
SPEAKER_03:I have a new heart and a new I have a new heart and a new mind. I found a beautiful church. Um I'm I I'm down 50 pounds in the last 90 days. Uh keeping that temper. I don't focus my life on um on mayhem and drinking and fuckery and everything else that I was doing before. I don't I I I I just I don't have the the place in my heart and mind for it anymore. Um, the meme, nonsense, all of it, it doesn't set well with me. Uh I I I try to like spend my day in, day out into scripture, uh focusing on my job, trying to make um a basic positive impact on those around me. Um I don't want any any glory for myself. Um, I removed all ego and pride. Everything that I was before, I'm not now.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_03:And that's not that's not something that I have decided like um uh you know, like because I'm trying to create a new character. Those are things that just don't set well with me anymore. The Holy Spirit has uh uh grabbed a hold of me, and I've allowed it to, you know, and and at first it was very uncomfortable because I was going through a life transition and um I was kind of uncomfortable with like talking about it. Right. That's why we talked a few months ago, and I told you that I needed some time to compose myself to be able to do something like the you know, this podcast. Um I'm confident now in who I am and where I am, um, my relationship with the Lord to be able to have this podcast, to be able to be able to talk about the past and keep my composure. Um that has been something that I have been working towards. Praise Jesus. And I am so profoundly involved with Christ at this point that no one's going to sway me. I don't care who you are. That's an amazing testimony, brother. So um I'm not the same man that I once was. I will gladly tell um, you know, uh the past stories, where I was at, um, the memories, the dick and fart jokes, the memes, all that stuff. I will gladly reminisce and like share all that with everybody because a lot of people like to hear that stuff, but it's not who I am today.
SPEAKER_02:Understood, my friend. Understood. So well, Dave, we've been on 40 minutes, man, and my podcast usually only lasts about 20, so I think we're gonna probably jump off and we'll get back together again for sure. Yeah, but I just want to say that this you your transition has been amazing, man, from somebody watching, watching, and you've trusted me to confide in me and tell me about it. And uh I keep my mouth shut until you want me to not to, you know. So it's it's well it's been an amazing thing, brother.
SPEAKER_03:Uh B Rob, I I appreciate any you know, for all the respect goes both ways. Um you're one of few people that I do reach out to and talk to. So uh and and and that's been true for years, bro. So um appreciate that, man. No, I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you, a son. Um that's not gonna change. Um, so uh I'm here for you, bro. I mean, let's keep doing it. I mean if you are interested in hearing it, I I I I have no problems with talking.
SPEAKER_02:So appreciate that, man. Anytime, brother. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna do something, and I hope it don't make you feel uncomfortable, but I'm gonna say a word of prayer over you, and then we're gonna end it with that. Is that cool?
SPEAKER_03:I will not make me feel uncomfortable one minute.
SPEAKER_02:All right. All right, let's go to the Lord in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, we come to you now, Lord. We just ask you, Lord. I just want you to keep working in Dave's heart. Keep giving him giving him the strength to share his testimony, Lord. Just just keep working on him, Lord. Just be with him daily. Any kind of doubt, any kind of fear, just get it out of his mind, Lord, because we know fear is false evidence appearing real. And Lord, we just we just thank you for everything that you've done in his life. We thank you for everything that you've shown him and myself over the past eight years. It's been an amazing journey, Lord, and we thank you for allowing us to be part of this. We thank you for allowing us to be alive at this time because honestly, I did not think we would be here right now. So we thank you for your grace, Lord. We thank you for your mercy. It's in Jesus' holy, heavenly name we pray. Amen. Well, thank you, Dave. You got anything else you want to say to my listeners before we get off?
SPEAKER_03:I appreciate I appreciate you having me here and uh beautiful prayer. And uh I'm yeah, I love you all. I love you, Dave. Where we go all.
SPEAKER_02:Where we go when we go all, baby. Absolutely.
