Hello everyone and welcome to Supernatural Junkies. This is Super Alex. We are here with a very special... Why are you looking at me like that? He's looking at me like I'm doing something weird. I get to be close to her today. Usually we have to be at the other end of the table. They separate us. Just so you know. I don't know if you have that. So we have Kevin Sorbo here today. Hey, we have Hercules here with us today. That's right.

And... We have the doctors as well. Dr. Dennis, Dr. Dozier. Dr. Kevin. Yeah, and myself. I played a doctor in movies before, but I'm not one of them.

Well and we know you do you do stuff with your wife all the time and i've seen you guys do ministry stuff together and and so you understand what it's like with your wife it's awesome and then trying at the times depends on the day and i wasn't i wasn't running this is my normal interview gear i i reminded oh my goodness i'm a patriot so there i got a very funny story in this I've got to sweat. This company is going to be at my convention. I'd like to talk about the Rise Up Con later.

But I'm walking through the airport in Dallas, and this stewardess, flight attendants, walking at me. She sees Patriots. Oh, you're a Patriot fan. I said, you better believe them, period. Go America. And she frowned. She goes, I thought you were a New England Patriot fan. I said, sweetheart, where do you think they got the name from? Oh, my goodness.

So Patriot means not a Patriot for the New England Patriots? I mean, it's just, it's just, you know, this is the wacky world we're living in. And she frowned at me and I said, maybe you should go to live in North Korea. I think maybe that's your perfect utopia. Oh my goodness. Well, I'm sure, you know, when you're traveling all around, do you see a lot of differences when you go to different areas of the country? Oh, yeah. No question. Going to L.A. and 20 percent of the people still wear masks.

Then you go to other places, maybe one out of every 200, you know. So it is kind of it is kind of interesting to see L.A. is still kind of holding on to the fear factor that government likes to rule us by.

Well, you you moved from California. Is that right? You were. Well, we like to say we escaped five and a half years ago. Probably better. Yeah. We went from the worst governor in the country for the best governor.

We're in the free state of florida i love it love it it's funny we're building a house in tennessee and that was totally we were almost in north carolina and then we were like oh my goodness, 2020 hit and we were like yeah we're not going there it's it's such a difference you know depending on where you're at so yeah especially if you homeschool you know that's us we do yeah we do too so yeah north carolina just seemed like a great decision for that reason so tennessee Tennessee, baby. Yeah.

Tennessee or Florida? Tennessee is good. Well, you got Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. All of us are about 1,000 people a day moving, and there's a reason for that. Yeah. You look at 8 million people have left the state of California in the last 10 years, 8 million taxpaying people. And so initially, you got to go, maybe they wake up eventually, but then you realize, no, they're doing it on purpose for whatever reasons. I'd still like to know why, but they're doing it on purpose.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So did you find moving from Los Angeles, where you're a hub of the entertainment industry, and then going to Florida, how do you find that with getting jobs still in the industry? Because you still act and produce and do all that stuff, right? Well, let me put it this way. 12 years ago, my manager and agent, my agent of a long time, ICM, they called me in and said they can't work with

me anymore because I'm a Christian and a conservative. And I laughed at them. I said, you know what? This business up until the 60s was It was pretty conservative, and it was pretty Christian. Hollywood used to do family movies and faith movies. The 60s kind of changed everything, I think.

It was a crazy decade with the Vietnam War, with the racial issues, with Martin Luther King, and the Kennedy brothers dying, and rock and roll becoming very political and just expanding and growing at that time. And Hollywood started doing movies that celebrated the antihero. But I still love the industry, so my wife and I formed SorboStudios.com. It's an independent movie production house, and we've been doing our own movies for the last, you know, for the last 10, 12 years.

And a lot of other independents come at me now. So I've been averaging since I left Hollywood, I've shot well over, well over 50 movies. And I was, most of the movies I was filming, even before the whole Hollywood cancel culture, I'm the first cancel culture person before I think it became a term. And everything I shot was in Texas or further East. Nothing shoots in California, pretty much just sitcoms in the studios.

I mean, everything's in Georgia. Georgia's number one in the country for filming.

Toronto is huge. Vancouver is huge because the tax credits and everything. And Alabama is getting bigger. Texas is getting bigger. Nashville's got a new tax credit coming in. So nothing shoots that much. So for me, it didn't matter. I've not missed a beat. Am I not getting invited anymore to do big television series or big movies? Yeah, of course. But that's okay. I don't care. Hollywood doesn't owe me anything. I love the industry. I'm still making a career.

But I'm doing movies I want to do that have love and hope, redemption, faith, laughter, things that Hollywood used to do. I'm trying to battle the horrible culture that Hollywood is winning because they got the big money and the big money to promote them through advertising. Well, I love what you're saying because you remember, it sounds like that's why you got into it. How did you get into it to begin with, acting?

Well, it's a silly story. I grew up in a little town about 25 miles west of Minneapolis. It's on beautiful Lake Minnetonka, my little town of 7,000 people. We were home to Tonka Toys, Lake Minnetonka Tonka Toys, get it? And so I was a jock, football, basketball, baseball, it was my whole life. You know, I'm the fourth of five kids, four boys in the family, very competitive. When I was 11 years old, our school took a trip to the Guthrie Theater.

People that know theater know the Guthrie Theater. It's a very famous theater. A lot of Broadway plays start there. A lot of Broadway actors come out to perform. And the play was The Merchant of Venice. It was Shakespeare. And I was 11. I don't know what the heck they were saying because I was 11 and it was Shakespeare. But I was completely mesmerized by the actors on stage. And I told my mom on the way home. She was one of the chaperones.

I said, I'm going to be an actor, Mom. And she said, that's nice, dear. A little pat on the leg, you know. But the seed was set. You know, and I kind of, you know, played around doing theater, little plays in school.

And when I went to college, I had a double business major, but I had a minor in drama because I knew what I wanted to do. And Minneapolis-St. Paul is home to a lot of big corporations. Headquartered, you got Best Buy, Target, 3M, Pillsbury, General Mills. I mean, there's so many companies. So I got an agent and I did a lot of commercials during my college years. So I got that. They were all unions. So I got that all-important Screen Actors Guild card. And so I had no problem moving to L.A.

And getting an agent right away. That was easy because I already had a great tape and I had the SAG card.

The harder thing was kind of breaking into the, the movie and TV world, but I got an agent and within, within about a year after down there and I started getting, you know, a lot of auditions, but obviously my big break came with Hercules and seven years in New Zealand and being part, I know it's the pride of, it's a sin of pride, but it became the most watched show in the world by season three. And we held that title for five years in 176 countries. It was crazy.

It was definitely New Zealand, Kevin. No, I'm kidding. New Zealand's beautiful. It was. That set was amazing. It really was. You can now remember it. Well, Peter Jackson would come on the set a lot because he was writing the trilogy for Lord of the Rings around that time. And he wanted to see how the crew was developing because they'd never had anything remotely like that in their country to build up, you know, whatever. It's other actors, camera operators, sound guys.

So we kind of, and we had two spinoff shows. And so we employed a lot of people, like over 700 people, I think it was. So what I was wondering, when you think about, you know, Hercules, when did you, when you think about, when did you first start to get a bad taste in your mouth about what was going on in Hollywood? Well, you know, Hercules, I was pretty much isolated. And I got to tell you, through the fan mail coming and everything, I had nothing to do with the writing.

I mean, I would always do little rewrites and things like that. And I always wanted to put in more humor into the show because I think it was certainly a type of show that people could laugh at instead of laugh with.

We want to make sure they laugh with us. and they put a lot of moral messages in there for a mythological show. And you got it through all the kids that would write in and talk about that. You know, I don't want to be a bully anymore. I don't have to fight anymore because what you're showing me and every movie I've been doing since then, I get one, two, three people coming up and say, your show got me to work out.

I became a stunt guy because you, I became an actor because you, because you know, Walt Disney back in the fifties said movies and television can influence our youth. And he was certainly right. And you You know, it can be for good or bad, just like the internet. I think the internet's the wild west. Unfortunately, there's a lot of crap on the internet. There's a lot of good things about it as well. But it was really what they were doing with that, I think, was a positive thing.

And I was, you know, I was in New Zealand for seven years, 10 months, a year. So I didn't really, I was, I wasn't in Hollywood. I was getting invited to a lot of movie premieres, but I couldn't go to anything. But for me, it was, it was sort of isolation being that country so far away. And then I got another series right after that, even before Hercules finished its seventh I moved up to Vancouver, Canada for five years, filming Gene Roddenberry's

Andromeda, which was the first show he created after Star Trek. He wrote it back in 1969. So my captain, Dylan Hunt, was the first captain after Captain Kirk. And that was cool for me because as a kid, I grew up watching all the reruns of original Star Trek series. Yeah, I spent a lot of time in Vancouver myself, and that's a beautiful place. Beautiful place, yeah. It really is. And the Chinese food is crazy, but you've seen what's happened to it since then, you know, with just.

Well, they call it, they call it Hong Coover. Yeah. And they have almost like a tent city there now, you know, it's just taken over the town. So it's been a lot of negative things since I was there. Well, we just got 30,000 more Chinese that just came across the border into San Diego. Explain that one to me. So a lot, and all men, all fighting age men. I mean, it's crazy what we're doing in the country, but that's a whole nother thing. We can talk about the border another time.

Yeah. Well, that's, that's definitely what's on everybody's mind. Absolutely. Of course. You know, most of us know, and especially us Christians, we know that, you know, unfortunately, you know, with everything that's happened in your career, you end up getting kind of blacklisted.

Devastated you know by hollywood how would you say that some of that happened well i just i kind of just explained it i mean they got tired of what i was writing on the internet i wasn't writing anything angry i was i was i was writing i was writing things that were that were you know they hate the truth in hollywood just like dc they don't like the truth that's kryptonite to them i mean i got banned from facebook i had over three million followers on facebook three years

ago because i was posting a lot of stuff that other doctors were saying about wearing masks and about about the shots and about everything. And I got taken out for misinformation and conspiracy theories. Of course, everything now is coming out that everything I was saying was true. So on Twitter, I posted, or I should say X, I posted, I need more conspiracy theories because all of mine keep coming true. Seriously? And there's a recourse for that either. No, it's pathetic.

Fauci should be in jail and so should Gates. And what they did to the world is unbelievable. I mean, Costco was essential. Target was essential. about all these corner stores that have been around 60 years for people to get coffee or groceries. They took them down because that was an essential. People lost everything. And it's incredible. In fact, I golf a lot. And my new effort on the golf course is Fauci because it's got an F, it's got a U, and it's got a C in it, so it's close enough.

We're going to start using that. We feel exactly the same way about it. What are you talking about? The right Fauci, my favorite three math. Don't just wait a while to get a three. what well Dr. Dennis is an avid golfer by the way so. Well, we'll have to set up on golf. I love golf. Yeah, definitely. Great. We were asking you a number of questions. I know we're asking a number of questions about Hollywood, but you brought up something that interests me.

Sure. That was 30,000. I believe earlier it was about 42,000, if I'm not mistaken, young Chinese fighting age men coming here. And I've asked people questions like, do you really think that men would just be able to leave China if they decided they wanted to leave? And surprisingly, some people would say, well, that was their choice. And so what I'll do is I'll go to North Korea. I'll go to North Korea. And then I'll ask what type of government do they have?

Some people are afraid to be wrong, so they'll think. And they'll just think, think, think. Really, they're afraid to be wrong. And so they come out, communists. Okay. I'll say, what type of government does Cuba have? I'll say, okay, communists. And they just leave those countries. The answer is no. As a matter of fact, in North Korea, you'll most likely get shot. I was in Europe. I was in Berlin when they had the wall.

And if you've ever been there with the wall, you had guards up there, you had minefields there, you had glass on the wall, and you died. And it wasn't the people that were on the west side that were trying to get to the east, but the people at the east trying to get to the west. So communism, they hold their people. So I'll go on to ask the question, well, OK, what type of government does China have? Do you know what CCP means?

Surprisingly, a lot of Americans will say no. And then so I go in and I don't really get all into it. But I'll say, well, simply put, I'll say that that is a communist country and they're not just going to release their manpower. So if if if they're going to get here, it is either going to have to be because they are intentionally sending them here with the purpose. OK, or they're getting rid of criminals or whatever.

But when you look at so many young men coming from a communist nation to a country that's supposed to be a constitutional republic, you them coming to a country like that. You need to know that there is a problem and it's within their government.

And if it's within their government and it's happening, then we have to ask ourselves the question. Where's our government on this? I'm saying that to lay us out and ask you, what is your take on that? Well, I agree 100%. I got a buddy I golf with. He's from Toronto, but he lives down here pretty much full time in Florida. He's got a furniture business. He does a lot of business over in China.

And just the other day, he said exactly what he just said. He goes, when you're traveling just within China, the amount of like from province to province, whatever, the amount of paperwork you have to get in papers, You have to get to even move within your own country is unbelievable. So tens of thousands of these fighting age Chinese come through our border.

They were sent over here by the government. I tell people all the time, I said, you got to know how, how ignorant can you be of what communism and socialism is all about? Those two things killed, you know, a hundred million people in the last century. And for these people coming across the border like that, nobody's saying anything. It's, it's, it's scary to me. And I said, you got to understand, they rule with the iron hand of communism over their people.

But the government of China is very capitalistic. Let's face it. They love bringing in money. I think most of our debt is probably owned to China. They just bought up 450,000 acres of farmland. They're using that farmland, but they bring food back to their own people. They don't have to hear it benefit us. And I think one of the biggest problems in America is its own greed.

And then I think apathy is a big killer with the normal person out there, because we have You have so many sheep out there that let government rule them. And people got it. I mean, I'm here to wake up the lions. We got to fight back because it's unbelievable what we're doing in this country. It's amazing.

And to have, you know, Trump's four years in office, 1.4 million people came across the border. We're well over 10 million people coming across this border. 10 million in three years. And you've got to be kidding me that people are sitting around. I've had people get in my face and argue, who should have opened borders? And I go, wait a minute, wait, let me ask you one question. When you go to bed at night, do you guys lock your house up?

And they go, well, of course we do. I go, oh, that's, that's interesting. Why are you locking up your house? Well, then they start thinking about it. Well, you know, you don't want people breaking in. I go, well, America is a house and we got 10 million people coming across here. There is a woman that said, said, I looked at her. She was a fan until I said, we need to close the border. And she turned 180 on me.

And I, she goes, we should have open borders. I said, I said, tell you what, what if you went home right now and there were five illegal aliens in your living room? She said, I'd let them stay. I just started laughing. And I said, fine, give me your address. Because in Santa Monica alone, I see them in every corner looking for a job. And they would love to stay with you. I said, it cracks me up that you guys want to come across as the people that care so much more.

Meanwhile, your relatives came over Christmas. After three days, you're ready for them to go home. So don't give me this crap that you'd let these people stay in your house. I mean, they project this thing that they care so much more, that they're the party with the heart. when really they're the party of violence, anger, and hate. Absolutely. And thank God our governor signed a bill yesterday about the squatting.

Did you see that? I heard about that. Yeah. So he signed a bill so they can't do squatting in their houses in Florida. Well, it's insane that you can do it anyway. It's crazy. It's crazy. They got the same problem in New Zealand. If somebody has a cabin out in the bush somewhere and they show up there because they haven't been there in four months and people are in there, they can't move them out. And I said, that makes no sense to me. Who came up with that law to begin with?

It is insane. saying and then no there was the one sheriff i think i don't know if it's polk county and one of the counties that said that we we prefer that you shoot them taxpayers some money that sounds like grady i was like wow okay well to me it's it's tragic when you think that 9-11 the big banner was we would never forget and the banner above that was that we united we were standing so 26 people supposedly did that to us what can 10 million people do kevin oh yeah

oh i i there's no question they've already admitting that there's at least 160 000 unaccounted for that's not across the border and then they think another 500 000 of that 10 million are more than likely terrorists and evil for the country so i think we're gonna have a massive 9-11 on our hand where they're gonna hit 30 of the biggest cities all at the same time on the same date and people will scratch Grasher has, how did this happen?

And it's just, it's just incredible that we're that stupid and that ignorant to let this happen to our country. But we're living in pretty dangerous times right now. Yeah, we, we totally agree. There's a Trojan horse in every city of America at this point. And they're really just waiting to open the doors. Sure. And the electrical system alone really sets us up for that. So when you start, you know, after what happened to your, after Andromeda, how, what happened in that period of time?

Well, I was busy all the time. I was working like crazy within the Hollywood system. I mean, I was, things were fun because that series ended in 2005. So from 1993, 2005, I had 12 years of nonstop work within the, my two series, but I still was averaging three, four movies a year, staying busy, shooting four weeks here, six weeks there, wherever it was. It was 2012 when my agent and I parted ways and I formed Sorbo Studios.

So we've just been doing it on our own since then. And that's been fine by me. And the move was great. We talked about moving out here for years because we both had family out in Florida. We've been out here many times. And I just got to a point hating the traffic in L.A., hating the taxes. I said, why am I dropping 13.5 cents of every dollar when I shoot everything out of the state anyway? And I think we would have came earlier. It just had to get to a point, I think, when both my wife and

I had just reached a boiling point and said enough is enough. So we left. We had a great house. I loved where I lived. I was an hour and a half north of LA, an hour and a half south of Santa Barbara. Great areas. It was at least 50% conservative in that area. Loved our church. Had a great church there. Pastor Rob McCoy, the Calvary Church there. He does a lot of work actually with, he's coming to the event, I think. Yeah. That was my old pastor. Wow. You probably didn't know that.

No, you said it was a small world. Yeah. No, because he does a lot of work at Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA as well, as does my son, Brayden. He's 22. too, which Charlie took him under his wing. Charlie and I both spoke at Liberty university about four years ago. No, it's five years ago already now. And they, they both just hit it off. So he gets invited all the turning point events and he's got a booth. He's got a great book as you know, as Braden Sorbo. So his initials are BS.

So we wrote a book, the BS guide to politics for young people. That's all I'm wondering. Homeschooling rocks. I love it. So we recently did an episode about Satanism in Hollywood and in the music industry. So we're, because now since sound of freedom, right, there's been conversations like this happening. People are openly acknowledging that this stuff exists, even in Hollywood.

Were you ever offered or approached to participate in any satanic ritual or anything that no, I knew it existed out there, but no. know, people pretty much knew. I mean, it's like when I walk in a room with a bunch of gay people, they pretty much know I'm straight right away. So it's, it's, you know, it's, it is not something I would ever get involved in that thing, any curiosity about. I've been a Christian my whole life. So, you know, and I've been vocal about it on the internet.

So to me, it's not something I, you know, hide away from, but I knew, I knew all about the sex trafficking. I didn't, I didn't know names or rumors of names. And I think Hollywood is still protecting itself pretty, pretty hardcore.

Core look the harvey weinstein thing that stuff goes on all the time and this hashtag me too thing so where were these people 30 years ago why didn't they come out 30 years ago why are they what you know 30 years later he flirted with me and going oh my gosh i mean it's just insane what we're doing right now with this stuff but you know all hollywood knew it and that he's not the only guy that was doing it and you know they just did you see the raid on pd's home yeah he took off

on his private plane i heard he's down in antiquar thing i don't know i don't know you can hide down there But obviously, that's, you know, Mel Gibson has mentioned a number of times he's going to break out a lot of news about a lot of people.

But, you know, it's like these people that say, you know, if I die, I didn't commit suicide. And, you know, how many people around the Clintons committed suicide, apparently? It was like 57 is the number or whatever. But one of the things I tweeted during COVID, I said, if you want to get rid of COVID, tell the Clintons that COVID's got something on them. That's funny. That's good. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Well, you know, we see this stuff in Hollywood and you're kind of positioned now, like you said, to do movies the way they should be done, you know, something positive. So tell us how you got motivated to do that. Well, I think my really first faith-based movie, an apologetically faith-based movie, is called What If? And it's the same writers that years later I did God's Not Dead. God's Not Dead became a huge hit. I mean, with a $2 million budget, it made $140 million.

So, you know, it shows you, you need word of mouth, though, in independent movies, because Hollywood does $300 million movies. These Avatar and Avengers and Spider-Man, and then they have $100 million to promote it. You know, but those movies need to make 700, 800 million to break even, but they keep making 2 billion worldwide. So they're going to keep making those movies. $2 million budget. I don't have a hundred million dollars to promote it. So we need word of mouth.

And what if was like, I love this movie and it's actually directed by Dallas Jenkins. Who's doing the chosen now. His father, Jerry Jenkins, who wrote the left behind books was a guy who funded it. I've done over 80 movies. What If is in my top three. I think it's a much better movie than God's Not Dead. And it's just an amazing movie. And I keep telling Dallas, get out in theaters. You got so much money coming in from the Chosen now.

Put $2 million into it. You can get to 1,500 movie screens and let people see this movie. Because even though it's 14 years old now, it doesn't age. I've aged, but the movie itself doesn't look like, oh, that's an old movie. It fits Common Day right now. But it's a wonderful movie. John Ratzenberger's in it. He's awesome. Second Reverse, it's a wonderful life. John Ratzenberger plays an angel. It's come to show me that I need a better road to walk on, but I like the road

I'm on. So I go to this altar universe, kicking and screaming. But Christy Swanson's in it. It's just a fantastic movie. And that made me want to do more movies. And then I did Soul Surfer, the Bethany Hamilton story with Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt. And I did God's Not Dead. And then I did a movie my wife wrote called Let There Be Light, which was funded by Sean Hannity. And everything we've done in Sorbo Studios, movies that I've directed.

Last year, we had Left Behind, Rise of the Antichrist I directed. We had Miracle in East Texas that I directed. All those things got funded every time it was a God thing. Because it's shocking to me how hard it is to raise $3 million for good movies when Hollywood throws hundreds of millions of dollars to other movies. And I golf with very strong conservative Christian guys that are very wealthy. And $3 million to them would be like $300 to me. And yet I can't get them to invest.

Well, it's just not what I do. And I go, yeah, but you put $9 million under Rick Santorum's failed presidency. What did you get back from that?

Here I can guarantee you, you'll get your $3 million back. You may not make $100 million on it, but you'll get your money back. And then there'll be a movie out there forever that has a positive message. So that is the toughest thing for independent producers like myself is to raise that money for these movies. I've got the scripts. Now it's just a matter of finding the money. Do you find that changing, though, with The Sound of Freedom having gotten such

a large audience? Do you see at all that attitude? Well, it shouldn't change with God's not dead. Then wait a 70 times return on some money. Sound of freedom had a, at a four times return on some money. Sound of freedom needed to get 65 million to break even. Wow. Whole different. That was a whole different ballgame with that movie. And for five and a half years, they couldn't find a distributor. They, they shot that five and a half years ago.

Jim could be, I've known Jim forever. We had the same manager for a very long time. We were neighbors in Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, California for 10 years. They shot that movie. They couldn't get it out there.

Angel has the power right now with this whole chosen thing. They finally got the movie and they said, okay, we'll do it. And they went out to their followers, which they have millions of. And they said, put five bucks into this so we can get in theaters and then go make sure you go to theaters. Well, that's what happened. And why it got a second kick, what helped it the most is that Hollywood came

out against the movie. They were basically saying, wait a minute, we like having sex with seven-year-old kids. I mean, that's really what they're saying. And you got the majority of people in the world, I don't care where you are politically, religiously, whatever. Most people in the world do not agree to having sex with little children. So that made people on both sides of the aisle go support this movie.

So it was a brilliant endorsement from Hollywood, even though they didn't realize they were giving an endorsement. But it's not changing. It's still the same thing. It's tough. Tough. There's only a handful of people out there able to raise their Irwin brothers. You know, I can only imagine things like that. They're about to start a miniseries on the life of David and they're going to be shooting that. I believe they're shooting that in Greece. When is this movie, The Firing Squad?

August 9th is what I've heard so far. And that's my most recent one that we've been doing screenings on across the country. True story set in Indonesia. My character was a guy that killed killed somebody when he was in his mid-20s on the beaches of Indonesia, and he gets arrested. He puts him in prison. He gets the firing squad.

He's there for decades, and during that time, he found God and became a pastor, preaching to the inmates, preaching to the prisoners, and he was assassinated in 2015, or a firing squad in 2015, so it's pretty recent. So I hope people will check that out. It's a good movie. I got a documentary with him as well, And it was done with Epic Times, which is, I think, the fourth largest internet paper right now, an independent news agency.

And I did two things with them. I got a documentary that is out right now. They go to Epic TV, and it's called Hollywood Takeover. So they go to hollywoodtakeover.com. Speaking of China, it's about the Chinese control over Hollywood, which they have a huge control over Hollywood and what they can put out there.

They will not bring movies. They will not let any movies coming into China that depicts communism in a bad way and certainly China in a bad way. So Hollywood is bent over backwards to do whatever China tells them to do. And they're trying to make China look like this great place to go live. And that's what they're doing through the movies, very subliminally, but they're doing it. And it's interesting.

Ricky Gervais used to be the, he was the host, I think, five years in a row on the Golden Globes. And he laughed about it. He said, I don't know why you guys keep bringing me back. Cause he's not afraid to go after the A-list actors, directors, suits in Hollywood. And his last time he did it, he called him a bunch of whores. He said, you, and it right there on live TV, he said, if ISIS had a film fund, you'd be the first to line up, get the money. So, and it's a lot of truth of that as well.

So was it pretty natural for you to transition from being an actor to, you know, then a director and then a producer? Did that all pretty natural for you or? Well, yeah, because I'm on the set all the time, you know, so you learn everything. I'm on Hercules by season three. I asked Universal Studios, can I start directing on the series? And they said, yeah, go for it. And, you know, I knew my crew. I knew everybody, you know, to me, it's like, I know what I want visually.

I can look at this stuff and say what I want. Then I go to the experts behind the camera and say, I want this or I want that, or I I want this time of day to have, and they would sit there and, well, we can't do it at two, but we can do it at five, you know, and it was great. It was on hand learning and very comfortable for me. So it was easy thing to do. I love doing, I love directing. You're going to say, I got to do one or the other. I'll take acting still.

That's still a passion for me. I still love doing what I'm doing. But the directing part, I think, I think if you got, you look at some of the best movie makers out there and I think they're actors or former actors. Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, I mean, just Hacksaw Ridge, you know, all the movies that he's been part of and done. I'm talking to Mel right now about the insurrection. I hope that I get a role in it. I told him, I said, we talked about an hour about the screenplay.

He and his brother have been writing it for five years now. And I said, well, Jim Caviezel's in his 50s now. He's not the same age as Jesus was when he did it last time. He goes, well, you can't believe what we can do in visual effects now. So they're going to make Jim look like he's 32 again.

See dennis there's hope for me and you brother yeah with a virtual wig on us yes, good deal so of course we're having you at the save our children conference and how have you seen hollywood and i know with your movies you're trying to have these these better examples but what have you seen happening to our children with respect to hollywood.

Well, what do they do? I mean, take sitcoms, for instance. Over the last 50 years, they've been degrading the family, bombing the family, saying the family's not important. I mean, you look at most sitcoms, the dad's kind of chunky and out of shape. The mom's a babe. The teenage kids use dad as a pincushion and make fun of him. So we're sitting there slowly telling these kids over these last two generations that the father's not important in the family.

And, you know, look what we did to the black community. I mean, the, the, the welfare reform act back in 64 didn't do the black population any, any favors. I mean, the black population was far better to stay together, husband and wife than the whites were. But now it's like 80, 85% of the black kids are being raised without a father. And you see the repercussions of that.

And, you know, Dr. Dozier, I know that, you know, this, you know, what's going on in these families and they, it's a cycle and it's tough to break. And it's proof of fact, it's very important to have families together.

Other but you know the white the white families other families aren't doing the same and doing the same thing either there's more and more breakups there's more and more later marriages more and more later not having kids and it's a whole different thing out there blm came out their aunt their their their manifest on blm which i still have they took it down was number one get rid of god get rid of the family unit yeah the marxism and

socialism they wanted to get rid of they wanted they they did they said they said pregnancy uh is slavery for women and i said okay Okay, so 100 years from now, if nobody has babies starting right now, there'll be no lives, humans left on this planet. So it's just amazing to me. And what did they do? What are those? They were transgenders. They were like, I think, two of the three people leading the BLM march.

And what did they do for Black communities? Nothing. They went and bought more homes and took a bunch of vacations. I mean, it's just, it's incredible to me and the violence that goes on. I got followed for the first time on, on X from Elon Musk because he retweeted one of my posts because it showed BLM at an event. I can't remember what city that maybe is Minneapolis or something. And there were, they were attacking people coming out of this meeting. I think it was her pro-life or something.

And I said, there they are, the left showing how tolerant they are once again. And Elon Musk did a repost of it, which is pretty cool. Nice. So you were saying that you have a lot of things coming up in regards to doing a tour and talking. Why are you so passionate about these issues? Because, I don't know, I think a lot of it was instilled in my parents, from my parents. My parents were always about hard work. I grew up with a lot of money. My dad was a public school teacher with five kids.

You know, my mom was a stay-at-home mom. I mean, it was, in my memory, my father, at the end of every month, is anguishing over the last three bucks he had in his checking account until he got paid on the first. And he'd yell at the four boys of us, can you stop drinking so much milk? Drink more water or something.

But still, I never felt without. We had a small house. I was in a room with my two other brothers, bunk beds were crammed in there. But we had loving parents. They were churchgoers, had a great community of support within the school system with the athletic system. I was very fortunate to have the area that I grew up in. My best friends to this day are buddies I've had since kindergarten. Guys I've known my whole life. So I think that was hugely instrumental to me. My dad always was about hard

work. Don't expect handouts. You know, he had to work another job. He started summers. He worked at a golf course to keep some kind of income coming. And that's how we all got hooked on golfing because he said, take advantage of this because we could never afford public school, I mean, public golf courses. And so all five kids ended up working out there for at least three, four summers each, you know, behind the counter, mowing the fairways, mowing green.

So that's my love affair with that, with, with, with golf happened because of my dad. But it was, you know, it just, I, I've always been a guy that says, you know, why can't we have both sides of the issue? I'm for free speech. I don't have an anger towards somebody that's, has a liberal point of view or that's, is an atheist. Let's have a talk. Just, if you want to yell at me, that doesn't make you right. Can we have a civil conversation about this instead of getting all crazy in

each other's face? But that side, I mean, that, that, the party of the left has just changed so much. I mean, Dennis Miller's a good friend. John Voight's a good friend. They said the party left me. I didn't leave it. I tell people all the time, look at JFK's inauguration speech in 1960 and ask if there's one Democrat who talks that way today, or even half the Republicans don't. Everything is shifting more and more and more to the left.

And JFK, what's, what's on his gravestone? Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. There's no Democrat talking that way. I honestly believe our government today is worse than the British monarchy that we started a revolution with. Far more things. With the 2% tax we were fighting about? I mean, it is horrible what they've done to us now. I mean, the tax situation alone, they're saying, you work seven months for us.

We'll let you keep the money from the other five months. Okay. And have a good time. But I mean, this is crazy what we're doing and people just let them do it because they keep taking an inch all the time. And now it's, they, it's miles, you know, it's like Scrooge. How many more links are you going to put onto your chain behind you? I want to know when you became a Christian. My whole life. There was no, I just grew up with it. I, it's always been, there was all, I grew up in a Lutheran church.

Typical Norwegian, Scandinavian kid. I mean, that was our church. I went non-denominational for a long time as well. And then I went to Calvary the last 15 years. But surprisingly, it's the same God.

Thank goodness, right? But it's always been there for me. I think if there was a turning point, there were two things that happened when I was 13 years old. We had a youth pastor come in when I was 13. So for 13 to the 18-year-olds, 7th through 12th grade, Wednesday at our church was a place called The Room. And it was all for teenagers, boys and girls. And Pastor Lee was this guy in his mid-20s, and he was like this cool guy. Because my pastor was a much older guy when I was, you know,

Pastor Sanders scared the hell out of me. And this guy was like breathing as a scent. But Pastor Lee came along, and he was a guy that you could easily talk to. And he brought the Bible into our world, into the modern modern world we're living in and showed us how it related. And then also that same year, we went to see the Reverend Billy Graham speak at the St. Paul Fairgrounds. And it was a hot August night. There was a full moon out.

And it was 300,000 people. It was amazing to be in this. And we took like seven buses from our church to go. And at the end, he said, I got a lot of volunteers up if you want to come up and talk and pray, whatever, please come up. 13, I never would have done this. I mean, I was an A and B student, but I was the last guy to raise my hand. I was like, if they called to me, I just told myself to be ready in class. But I went up. I remember one of my buddies said, where are you going?

I don't know, guy, gotta go up there. And I'm sitting on the grass and I'm talking to this guy. He was like maybe 30. I was 13. So he's like this really old guy, 30, right? And all of a sudden, all of a sudden a hand went on my head and I turned around and it was the Reverend Billy Grant. And he had his bodyguards with him. I get it. You know, he's a man that there are a lot of people hated believing in God. Right. And, and we started talking and, but I'm, his head was perfectly behind the

moon. So it was like these, Oh, he's raised out of his head. And I told that story in the Larry King show years ago and back, I don't know, it was 2007 or eight or wherever it was. And I get a call from the chicken soup for the soul. And I think they're bad. I think the headquarters are in New Jersey, if I remember right. And they said, look, we, we saw this story. And Larry Ross, who did, he lives in Dallas and has been years, been running the Billy Graham publicity campaign.

And he said, we saw the story that Reverend Graham saw you talking on Larry King and he loved it. Would you write a story? We're doing a hardcover book. The only time they've ever done a hardcover book for a chicken soup of the soul. So I'm in the one, I'm writing a story about 13 years old. I was 13. So I'm in that hardcover book with Mother Teresa and all these other people, you know, that were touched by Billy Graham. Graham.

And then they called me up and they said, you know, he's a big fan of everything you stand for. He's in his nineties. He can't travel. He was wondering if we'll fly you around. We'll take care of everything would be the publicity on the book. So that was pretty cool. That was pretty cool to be part of that. And I've been, I've been very good friends with Franklin Graham, his son for many years now. Well, you know, we have the pleasure of having your wife on here tomorrow.

And so, you know, we're going to ask these questions. But so my wife and I, we were like, anytime we see couples like yourself, like here you are, you're flying around, you've got movies you're producing, all this speed. How do you make this marriage work? Well, Sorbo Studios, we work together. Her office is right next to mine. No, she would need another building. It's how far apart?

Well, her office is much bigger, but you know. No, but no, but you know, it's, we, on the sets where we produce together, do we butt heads? You better believe we do. But you know, there, there's a great movie called Shenandoah starring Jimmy Stewart. And there's a great scene in there where this gentleman, this guy from the Confederate army comes up the steps and wants to marry his daughter.

Daughter and he says why do you want to marry my daughter he says well because I love her he goes yeah that's nice but do you like her and I think that's more than anything I think love can be very liquid emotion but you got to be able to like each other and there's got to be you know so I and I like her a whole lot and she's a great mother she's smart as hell she's the business side of Sorbo Studios I'm more the creative

side even though she's a very talented actress in her own right but it's we we we can butt heads but we get along pretty fine 26 years married now 28 years years together. And every anniversary, she says, I'm going to give you one more year. I said, okay, thank you. That's success, baby. That's success. How did you guys meet, Kevin? Well, she hates when I say this, but there's a lot of truth to her. Every episode of Hercules, they sent on a very pretty girl to work with me.

And they'd be down there for about two and a half weeks. So it was a great dating service for me. And that's how I met my wife.

She came down at the end of season four and that was it for me and really i mean honestly that was it and it took me a week to talk into going out with me down there in new zealand and i said come on we'll go see a movie and stuff and so i go pick her up and she gets in the car and had country music on she goes country music i said yeah you know i like everything except rapping i'm not a big rap guy but she was no no i like country music you can

keep it on and then we're talking and talking some more and then she looked at me and she said are you conservative because i'm i don't hide that And I said, oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm definitely conservative. And she said, well, so am I. And then I said something and she said, wait a minute, you're a Christian? I go, yeah, I'm very much a Christian. Been one of them all my life. She said, hold on, Kevin. I realize it's that first date, but country music,

Christian, conservative, the three C's. I think I'm in love with you. That's how it started. That was that first date. It's awesome. Amazing. Notice she didn't say ridiculously good looking, right? Nothing at all. She didn't say anything at all. It was just that. And then she was on a series called Chicago Hope at the time. Yeah. The ER came out around the same year. And she had like a week off. And I had taken off for Bratislava, Slovakia, and Croatia to shoot a movie for three months.

And it was the only time Universal gave me an extra month to film this movie with Rafaela De Laurentiis. It's called Kaldekar. Kaldekar was the father of Conan in the books. And- So I invited her over and I said, look, my dad's flying in the same time you are. My dad will be here the whole time. You'll be safe, you know, because we only really knew each other those two and a half weeks on the set, but we just hit it off. So she came over and something my dad, I'd never seen him do before.

And a first time introduction, certainly. I introduced, I said, this is my dad. Dad, this is Sam. And he hugged her. And I went, and that kind of took me back as well. And after that week and a half together, because we had like a four-day weekend. So from Bratislava, it was like an hour straight west, you get into Vienna. And I lived in Vienna for a while. I spent three and a half years living in Europe, by the way. And so we just had a great time taking my dad to all these places that I'd been

to. And she knew it very well. She speaks five languages fluently, by the way. So she was speaking German for us. And so we were able to get the kind of food we wanted to get. And it was interesting. when he left, my dad hugged me and he said, she's a keeper, Kev. My dad's never said that about anyone. Cause I, I had long, I'd like a five-year relationship and two, three relationships with wonderful women.

And I broke their hearts. I gotta be honest with you. I just, for whatever reasons I said, I wasn't ready to get married and they, it wasn't right. As great as these people were just wasn't right. So I guess I had to wait for the right person. Wow. So how many, we're just curious family life for you. If you don't mind talking about how many kids do you have and what's What's going on with them? We got three. Brayden's 22. My son Shane is modeling in Italy right now. He's in Milan.

He flies back this weekend. He's been there for about three months, I think. And he's almost 20. He turns 20 on Sunday. And then my daughter is 18. She's in her last year of homeschool. And we homeschooled them all. And they're just, they're great kids. Brayden is a social media genius. In fact, I'm not going to name all the people he's doing their social media for, but he's got one client, which is Dinesh D'Souza. And I think you probably know who Dinesh is.

Wow. He runs his social media. Oh, this kid's good. I'm 6'3", and both my kids are taller than me. They're 6'5", and 6'4". And Brayden. Brayden. I don't want to say that. How do you spell that? My son is Brayden. We went old Irish Gaelic, so it's B-R-A-E-D-E-N. Oh, we got A-Y-D-E-N. Yeah. A-Y is probably the most common one I've seen. And then we got Shane, which I've always loved that name. And one of my best stunt guys, one of my best friends from New Zealand's name was Shane.

So I always loved that chain. So when I was scaling both of them and Sam got the name, our daughter and Octavia and Sam's, you know, she was a biochemical engineering major at Duke university. I went to college to meet girls and play sports. We went to college for a completely different reason, but the way your brain works when it came up, Octavia was, well, she's a big fan of King Lear. She's a big fan of Shakespeare. So Octavia is in that Octavia is the female instead of Octavio,

which is male. and she's born in October and she's the eighth child, eighth grandchild of my parents. Her brain works like a mump with Octavian. Wow. Dang. Yeah, she could be hired right away. She's got that organizational skills, you know? Yeah, but I take care of all the travel stuff. If she had to book her own travel stuff, she'd be late for the plane every time. That's my job to take care of all that stuff. But she takes care of all the

business. There's no question. But Kevin, I have to ask you about the sword you have over your right shoulder there. I noticed you've got quite an interesting backdrop there. Yeah, that was the very, very last day of seven years of filming on Hercules.

Wow description says you know it's got my name on there and the seven years the years that we shot down there and it says you know the journey may be over but the legend lives on that's a that's a description on there so that's that's all i'm always that's that's that was a huge chapter in my life because without that series i wouldn't have anything else that's happened since then within the industry and it was it was an honor being on show i worked with wonderful people most of my crew

went on to work on lord of the rings and went there won academy awards from the wardrobe department and the props department and the visual effects guys, the wetter group that did all of our creatures. So it was pretty amazing. And I don't know if you can't quite see in that corner. It's me and Muhammad Ali right there. Oh, wow. And I got my mom and dad behind me right there. This is What If. We're at the Movie Guide Awards. Movie Guide Awards are family and faith movies.

I won Best Actor in What If, and we won Best Movie of the Year for that that year when that movie came out and my dad my dad passed about a year and a half after that so uh my dad was my buddy he was my best man at my wedding that's awesome so i want to know because hercules really made you a household name i mean that's huge.

I don't think you could talk to anyone and say Hercules and you'd be the person that came to mind, even though there's been movies and other actors, you are Hercules to everyone. What was that like? How old were you? And what was that like?

Because that had to be pretty amazing. Well, I was all in my thirties. I mean, I initially, when my agent called me, but I was in, I mean, I was six, three, I was 225. I was ripped up. I was working out because, you know, there's so much rejection of Hollywood. You got to find an outlet somewhere. Mine was Gold's Gym and biking all the way down to Manhattan Beach and back every time back to Santa Monica where I first lived.

My agent told me, they said, they're looking for, they're not looking for a bodybuilder guy. They're looking for a decathlon type guy, a guy that's athletic. They don't want a no-neck, 280-pound steroid dude. So they put me through seven auditions. They auditioned 2,800 actors in North America, between Montreal and everything in Canada, New York, Chicago, whatever. And I had seven callbacks. I was down the last three guys. And when I got the role, I was actually filming.

I did the last, I did the last audition scene at a universal lot in front of about 50 television people there at universal. And I flew out the next day to Vancouver to do an episode of the, I guess, on the commish Michael Chiklis's series, uh, which was a Stephen canal show back in the day. And they call me then, but I got that role and I walked up to Mike on set and I said, I said, I want any more crap from you, dude. I'm half God now.

So, but it was, it was, it was fun. And that opened up the door, obviously, for so many things. Initially, it was just going to be five two-hour movies. And halfway through the third movie, Universal called and said, there's nothing like it on TV. We're going to have you stay there and make a series out of it. And that first year was amazing for me. I know there's a lot of young people that wouldn't know who this person was. But I got a whole year working with Anthony Quinn, who played Zeus.

And here's a guy that had six nominations for Oscars, won twice.

Twice and and by season three like i said earlier we became the most watched tv show in the world which was pretty cool and we had two spin-offs we had xena warrior princess and we had young hercules a lot of people don't remember young hercules because that got canceled after two years but the young unknown actor they booked to play me as a teenager was a 20 year old actor by the name of ryan gosling wow was it really that's how we got us that's how we got to start wow that's insane same.

So I was going to ask, you know, I'm sure sometimes you think about, well, what else would I do if I wasn't doing this? What, what could your next stage of your life look like? Well, I mean, if I, if I never pursued acting, I knew, I know what I wanted to do, what I would have done, but I, I was determined that I don't want anything to fall back on. I was going to be an actor.

I had a double business major, but I think if I did anything that they say, you can never going to business, you can never be an actor or whatever. I probably would have followed my dad's footsteps and taught the high school level because I would have wanted to coach football and basketball at the high school level. That's cool. Well, you can see the movies you're making are still trying to reach, you know, those, you know, that community, you know, that family.

And and that's a powerful connection that you, you know, tend to want to be in. So I just ask because we've seen several of your movies and in quite a few of them, you kind of play the mean guy. Right. Maybe the skeptic a bit. Right. And some of the 87 movies I played, three mean guy roles. Well, I'm just, you know, we all, we only like the mean guys, right? Because it seems like such a departure from anything we've seen you. And that's what sticks out, right? What do you like playing better?

The nice guy or the guy? I want to, well, every mean guy I've played, by the way, there was redemption for them. Totally. Yes. Agree. So as long as there's redemption and then I don't want to play some mean guy the whole way through. I think that would be no fun. I want to see that. I want to give, I want to let people know that there's always hope.

Hope that there's always a chance to change the road you're on no matter how bad you think your life is and the world is there is always hope and i think that's what drew me to those characters.

But yeah i mean there was only one role that i ever did that that it was interesting i played a serial killer in a movie called julia x and it won if it won back in 20 i don't know what year it was 10 in 2011 or something it won the austin film festival and but it was more like an un very very unusual love story because it had a lot of, a lot of humor in it. And it wasn't like a slasher thing. It was a, it was a twist of fate of, or twist of fate, twist of.

I, I get picked my victims through the internet dating service. And as one woman I picked, she escapes, but she turns around and captures me. Ends up being that her and her sister are serial killers. So I, as a serial kick, I picked a serial killer and it ends up being a lot of of dark humor and it was, it was interesting to play that role. But other than that, I think most of the roles I played, I like roles that have a lot of humor in them.

I don't want, there's enough dark and anger and violence and hate and over-sexualization and movies and TV out there. So that's kind of what I like to pick right now, but I've got, you know, I've got four movies in the can. I got three documentaries coming out. That I'm looking forward to. I've got three more movies to line up this year I'm filming. I'm going to be filming in Slovakia again later this year. I'm going to be filming

in Minnesota, my home state, on a car racing movie. It's called Speed Shift. And then I got a Christmas movie I'll be shooting as well. But I got another Christmas movie I already shot. It will be out November of this year. And then I've got two documentaries I'm very excited about. I spent three weeks in Israel. I'm going back in May for one more week in Israel.

And it deals with through archaeological digs we trace the flow of the ark of the covenant and it's called the quest for the throne of god and it's it's i love documentaries it's fascinating and then the other one it's not really a follow-up one because i did it with the same company brent miller's company called ingenuity film so i highly recommend before the wrath and before the wrath deals with the second coming and i narrate it throughout but we have a

lot of we have a lot of like chosen type actors we have scenes of that then we cut to current day scholars or whatever they may be, pastors, priests, whatever, talking about the second coming. And it's fascinating. Well, we just did a follow-up to it and it deals with the last supper and it's called eating with the enemy. And I love the title on this. And I was hoping it came up this week in Easter, but we still have two more interviews to do.

And we still have a little bit of a voiceover left for me to do. So that'll come out later in the year. Well our theme at the Supernatural Junkies is to talk about. What the church isn't talking about. So what would you say was maybe my final question, unless Dennis and Dr. Dozier jump in, what would you say is the thing the church and Christians are not talking about today? Voting. More than 50% of Christians don't vote. Get out and vote.

I mean, I realize with mail-in voting, there's always going to be cheating, which is unbelievable to me that three years later, we still haven't solved this easy issue. There's nothing racist about showing an ID to vote either. It's crazy. And the trouble is when I speak, a lot of these These churches I go to, I say, you know, you guys have to remember you as pastors that you work for God, not government. Because there's a lot of crazy, woke churches out there right now, too.

And I said, people need to wake up. We need to wake up the sheep. The sheep are just insane right now. And they just follow anything and everything everybody tells them. They've totally given in to government letting control their lives. So to me, it's like, stop being afraid. Stop letting people set your limitations, especially yourself. self. So, Kevin, I didn't see Dr. Dozier. Go ahead, Dennis. I'd say a follow-up on that. I think COVID instilled more fear into the church.

And to see that the church is closed, not all of them, but I think that fear that was instilled is still there. Well, look, they closed the churches on purpose, didn't they? That was essential. The liquor store was essential. The strip clubs were We're essential. I mean, it is blatantly obvious what they're doing. And people still just kind of go, yes, whatever you say, we'll close the church down. My pastor, Rob McCoy, he'll probably talk about it when we have the event coming up.

He came back online. He said, I'll give you your 15 days, but then we're back having the church. And they sat there and were fining him every week. Pretty soon, hundreds of people were showing up outside in the parking lot. They couldn't fit anybody in the church. They put speakers out there. And he ended up winning the court case. They didn't have to pay any of those fines. Good. So, Kevin, thanks so much for coming on. Thank you. The last question is, how can we pray for you?

You've got so many irons in the fire, and we're thankful for what you're doing, for what you're doing with your faith and bringing that to the world with movies and also with actions. And so how can we pray for you, Kevin? Well, you know, it really comes down to, you know, help me find the funding that we need to make these movies. Because I get pastors stop me all the time and say, what you're doing is great.

You reach a much bigger audience than I do. And I said, I still need your audience, Pastor. I don't care if you have 80 people in your congregation. We need them to be part of this movement. Took a drop of ocean to start the ocean. So we need people to not be afraid and come out and do these things. So for me, more than anything else, just help us find the avenues. Look, trust me, I'm not making anywhere near the money I made on Hercules and Andromeda these last dozen years.

I'm still Screen Actors Guild, and I'm Directors Guild. so under the union i take i take the these the minimum and both those things i want to put out movies that have positive message and i'm going to keep doing that and by the way i got to give a quick plug for this these comic cons i still get invited to and sign autographs with hercules andromeda or it's you know guest starring on supergirl whatever it may be most people come to my table now they want eight by tens from god's not dead soul

I got a call from Steve Green from Hobby Lobby. We're doing it next year at his Bible Museum in Washington, D.C. Awesome. Wow, that is awesome. Well, thanks so much, Kevin. Dr. Dozier, can we pray for this young man? We can. I would like to say to you this. When God's Not Dead came out and our ministry, we partnered with another ministry and we did rent out a movie studio. We paid out a movie studio and we were there to watch your movie. Thank you. I appreciate that. We support you in any way.

Thank you. All right. Father, we thank you. We bless you. We honor you for your goodness and your mercy, for your love and kindness and peace. And I thank you, Lord, for our brother who shared with us us today, Lord God, his humility, the humility that he's shown, Lord, is just awesome.

And I pray, God, that you would just open doors, you would give favor, even as he has poured his life out, Lord, your word says, given as you'll be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over. Lord, I pray that you will cause men to give into his sack, Lord, to sow into him in the things that he is doing for your glory. And we thank you for him, Lord.

We even pray, Lord, in the name of Jesus for his protection, Lord, because even as he steps further in these perilous times, we don't know what to expect in these days. But we do know, Lord God, that you'll never leave us nor forsake us. So be with him, guide him and protect him, bless his wife, keep her as well, Lord, and his sons and his children, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. That will be done. Thank you very much. God bless you,

Kevin. Take care, guys. See you soon. See you soon. Sounds good. Bye.

Hello, this is Dr. Kevin Cruz, and I'm the president of the board for Serving Others in Love in Honduras. What led me to get involved? It's when I felt Jesus asked me the same question as Peter, do you love me? And each time I had to answer the question why I wasn't feeding his sheep. Of course, there are needy people in America, but once I went overseas, it became obvious to me that these were the least Jesus was talking about.

Then I met Dan Isabel, the international president of Soil Ministries. Dan shared with me how Honduras is the second poorest in our Hemisphere. Here's Dan Isabel to explain why he and his family have been ministering in Honduras for over 60 years. In 1964, my mother took her three children and started this ministry, with only $75 a month and a burning desire to serve widows and orphans and to show them the love of Jesus.

Before she was finished, she had pioneered 76 churches and a bilingual school. Now, we have over 170 churches that provide water, food, and evangelism to thousands of children and to widows. Children are also loved through our deaf school, emergency medical fund, medical missions trips, and child evangelism. But there is still so much more to do. We have churches that need roofs and available land that can be used to build schools, clinics, and churches.

Some of our locations don't even have enough food for themselves. Some of our transportation is broken beyond repair. But let me introduce you to one of my partners, Dr. Tony Ponseti, to tell you more. Serving others in love in Honduras is my passion because we're equipping pastors and leaders with seminary-approved degrees and marriage seminars that can keep them from being shut down. Did you notice how the true story of sound of freedom started in Honduras?

Nothing could make me prouder than to know that our shalom home of trafficked girls is fighting this unspeakable evil today. Now, let me introduce Dr. Thomas Dozier so he can tell you how you can get involved. 500 people giving $17 per month provide over $100,000 of support to the children of Honduras. You can be a part of making a difference in the lives of the children of Honduras. Fortunately, some of us can help build a school or put a roof on a church.

But more than just money, we want to invite you and your church to go to Honduras on a mission trip. There are many possibilities, and we would love to talk about how God can allow you to reach His children. Please visit our website at SoilMinistries.org and click on Donate. Thank you.

Hey, folks, this is Dr. Kevin Cruz giving you another pump because guess what? The Supernatural Junkies are on Rumble. All you have to do is go to Rumble, go to search, and when you search for channels, you look for Supernatural Junkies, and all of our stuff is going to start popping up. It's great because you're going to be able to see the links. You'll get to see exactly why we are saying what we're saying.

But most importantly, this is a great way to share with your family and your friends exactly why we are living in prophetic times and why we cannot give up access to our bodies.

Hey folks, it's Dr. Dennis from Supernatural Junkies. I just want to talk to you today about protandum. I've been taking protandum for a few years and you know what? I feel a difference. I am younger than my age. At least I think I am. Anyway, protandum is a strong antioxidant producer in your body because what it does, it causes your body to increase its glutathione production. And glutathione, folks, is the strongest antioxidant your body has.

So if you want to keep strong antioxidants in your body and be a healthier you, I suggest you use ProTandem. Music.
