Shawn isn’t hearing much of this in Mass at a Catholic Church.
Jesus and the Bible is absolutely FACT. I love that Shawn said that at 6:20. Anyway, I’m so excited for this!!! I’ve been watching Josh’s podcast randomly for nearly a year now and he’s fantastic! I’ve learned so much. Thank you for having him on! Christ is King!!! ✝️
P.s. I LOVE the bears, but he should’ve gotten a Sig too! Also, I wanna hear Josh and Tucker Carlson both laughing in the same room together!
Love this guy, Josh is the man!
Now I know where to go to church in Jacksonville.
1:15:55 this is a key to healing!!!!!!!!!
So great to hear a pastor talk bible and not Jesus + this or that. At the cross it was finished. All we need is Jesus.
I think this is the most excited I’ve been for an episode lol
I heard about Pastor Josh by negative stuff. So I checked his sermons. He is one I watch now, as well as Brother Breaux. He preaches Jesus crucified and resurrected, so he is preaching truth.
I never thought id see you both together! Like I didnt know you knew him! But i love this Pastor!!! Yessss!!! I love all your videos Shawn, & im soooo excited for this video!!! IM PUMPED!!!!
God Bless you and your Family Shawn❤ Both of you being so truthful and vunerable ❤ God is Love❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so…..very much❤❤❤ Respect❤❤❤
Satan is fighting this one. Keeps buffering and stopping.
Absolutely amazing interview….WOW..!!!!!!!!!
🙏🙏
Been waiting too long lol
Please have on Jesse Lee Peterson next.
So happy to see Josh sitting down with Shawn
You have to forgive, but you can be angry for awhile can’t you?
Great conversation love Pastor Josh gotta get more pastors on like Joby Martin, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, Matt Chandler
revelation is mostly about the future apocalypse and God coming back.
This was a powerful conversation
That’s classic dispensationalism garbage. The coming one-world religious system, will center on rabbinical Judaism and the worldwide promotion of the Noahide Laws, not the caricature Josh is presenting. It’s also worth noticing that the Antichrist is said to sit in the Jewish temple (2 Thessalonians 2), not a rebuilt pagan shrine or some generic global religious headquarters. Josh is just repeating standard dispensational talking points without seriously engaging the broader biblical or the current political picture. Let’s not forget Josh is a zionist and associates with other zionists.
This is like the World Cup of church, for me. 25 minutes in and I’m screaming and praying and praising Jesus! I sound like my neighbors when they’re watching soccer. They’re probably like, “what’s going on with the quiet Christian lady?” Go JESUS!
I love Pastor Josh. Glad he had a chance to talk with Shawn. I pray Shawn is willing to hear.
1122. That is my church. I love that shirt. Pastor Joby is the best.
@47min. Mark, he nails it.
Josh has brought me through some tough times in my walk with Christ. So thankful for him!
this guy is very “bro protestant” kind of corny but glad he’s a follower of jesus
Ive been excited for this interview. You should look at pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell. I think you two would hit it off.
You are so…..Blessed to have a Loving and Supportive Wife and Mother of your children !!! Unfathomable ❤
“Hey man”
Thank you. Amen. 💛🙏🏻💛
Live free brothers.
Pastor Josh, The Word, Jesus Christ, Forgiveness, Sean Ryan …. Open the eyes, minds and Hearts of many! The Gospel, The Goos News❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
WE ARE SEEING THE SPIRITUAL WAR MORE THAN EVER. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, 🙏🏼 BUT HES SHAKING THE TREE AS TO ONLY LEAVE THE STRONG ROOTS ATTACHED!!!!!! WE GO THROUGH THE STORM BUT COME OUT STRONGER 💪🏼 ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH CHRIST,AMEN IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME
44:33 Speak for yourself, Shawn. I stand by Trump. The difference between the Left and the Right is that the Left worship death and the Right protect the innocent. You’ve been hanging out in the hot tub with Tucker and Candace for too long.
Let’s goooo! Thats my pastor! ❤ Christ is KING!
Zero contradictions?? Lol
Super excited for this talk and God bless you all!! “Those who honor me I will honor.” 1 Samuel 2:30 “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19 KJV
If true Christianity is Christian Nationalism, then I don’t want to be that or go where they are going.
Jesus is the King, the Lord who is, was and is to come!
The same people that wrote the talmud wrote this New testament Bible where it basically proclaims we have to bend down to the government Shawn Ryan should really bring someone on that has practice the Ethiopian Bible the real Bible that has not been remixed and rewritten by men let’s get that Bible on the podcast because the same people that rewrote our history books our textbooks and the Bible are currently running the world
EVERYONE IS WELCOME BUT YOU HAVE TO RESIST THE SIN…. JESUS IS THAT WAY❤
Two Christians, one a former soldier and the other a priest, are talking about Islam as if they know everything about it, or just what has been going on about Islam in the West for more than 20 years. This is the height of hypocrisy. At least host a Muslim.
I love Muslims so much I’d like to give them a 1 way ticket to their judgment day.
It’s awesome watching you guys with Jesus in your hearts. The world will rip your heart apart without Jesus.
We’ve also been lied to ironically here on this very show
YouTube needs to work on it commercial selection. I had a poop paralysis commercial after they prayed. Either that or God Almighty has a sense of humour. 😆
Shawn… about forgiveness… that why Jesus responded to his disciples when they asked how many times should we forgive a person 7 times, and He responded 70 times 7 (Matthew 18). He knows that it creeps back up again and we need to forgive again and again until one day, it’s gone! The pull of resentment, the anger and bitterness… it diminishes slowly because then the root has been pulled out! Amen!
Except it’s no longer BOTH parties offering a solution. Socialism is NOT a solution for anyone! We may not be happy with the Republican Party but honestly, isn’t it our ONLY option right now? We must dig deep and ensure the Christian principals America was founded on are reinstated!!!!!! Griping about republicans and/or not voting ONLY provides a WIN for evil!!!!!
I do like Josh. I was an avid listener to him and even Mark Driscoll-he’s the one that Josh talks to often -Josh states this in his sermons- but “UNTIL CK -and realized he’s so close to Pastor Mark Driscoll (who CK knew a bit and was wanting to talk to him privately right prior to his death abt theology. I assume he wanted to know his thoughts on Isreal and the government. And Mark made sure to mention this over and over after his death. They also went to TPUSA to counsel and the “event of the century” mark is very determined to be revived in the political arena and it felt gritty!
But what really woke me up to Zionism is when Mark, his son-in-law and other pastors started a podcast and for months ALL they talked about was how CO was demonic, needed to be institutionalized and her husband should have her committed. The misuse of the message of widows and children in the Bible. And also twisting the scripture of “bless Israel and you will be blessed” etc and that’s OT not NT and Jesus fulfilled the promise to Abraham/Isreal”it is finished” The Jews had to take Jesus to Rome and be crucified!
So, this push that ONLY Isreal which wasn’t even recognized until 1948 and they’ve been kicked out of 109+ Countries (?) and are not of true Jewish decent .
Isreal and the government doesn’t believe in Jesus , killed him, and thinks we all should be spit on (bare minimum). So, if you want me to believe that Jesus wants us to fight for rapist, sodimites, and thinks he’s burning in hell in his own urine, feces and his mother was a whore I can’t follow you to hell! Nor, do i believe Jesus wants wars and murders and fighting countries in the east to help Isreal (Bibi/IDF) to murder innocent kids, women, take more land, land from them-the 5th bank, ect!
So-I will watch this and see how Josh feels about TPUSA-TR solo gun narrative and the Iran war and Israel Bibi gov and check back in.
