  Speaker 1: favorite series right now on TV right now. Okay, y'all know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I don't just say that. He also played in a

  Speaker 1: fan favorite Jacobe on the BT series Tyler Perry's Sisters.

  Speaker 1: Scott will also be starting an upcoming legal drama Lace

  Speaker 1: we talk about faith. We talked about your dream and

• 3:07
  Speaker 1: some backs can be turned backs where he did not

• 3:11
  Speaker 1: his career and most importantly All the Queens Man. Please
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: must my man sky vest the Black. How you doing, sir?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I'm you know so so man, I'm have my phone,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I phone with all my interviews, but the fact that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I've been looking at your face man for like I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: think a secutive episode. That's how riveteen, that's how I laughed.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you about to see it. It
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was dramatic. It was the ladies were empowered. I'm talking
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: about the female characters were empowering. Uh. And and it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: just led me to believe that there's something a different
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: writing style. Kim Fields was she the primary director. She
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: directed a prominent amount of episodes. Kim Fields the actress
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Kim Fiels. She directed four episod Deuce Deuce also directed
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: two episodes, and Matt Barnes directed two episodes. So we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: had a great plethora of different visions that all came
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: together to make this like cohesive, you know, beautiful masterpiece. Absolutely,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you hear nothing negative you about this. I'm teaching my laugh.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I thought that, Uh, I thought Eva, who was the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: star of this show? She is madam? Uh you know.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I remember I was growing up. It was a movie
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I saw called A Truck Turnup. It was an old
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: star like Hayes and and it was a character kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of like Mattive. It was played by Lieutenant Hurro from
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Star trek. She was the lead character. I mean she
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: didn't take no groulf man. I mean she talks Mack
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and she cuts you out, and it was like it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so different from her character, but it was like the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: first time I ever saw a character where a woman
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, had a place and showed strength.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And this let's talk about the mattive character because she
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she's introduced very early on in series, because you meet
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the upfront, talk about that relationship and also your character
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: from the standpoint of developing it and being able to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: carry it through this arc. Okay, so that that it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was first and almost all. I always say to even
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that we have such a great chemistry on camera, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: um I believe that's because once we got our work
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and we understood what was going on in the entire series,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we realize that these two characters are more bonding on
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the commonality of pain, meaning that we're both ostracized from
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: our families. And the Madam character is such a vital
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and strong character because she's you see a woman where
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in society don't really get to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: see a woman running a business and also be and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: also be a caretaker. And um I always say, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: beautiful part about this show is that it's not a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: strip of show. It's a show based on humanity. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: society has this taboo upon non exoetic dancing, and they
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have a taboo on you know, just how certain people
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: may get their money, which Madam does. But at the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: same time there's an integrity to Madam when it comes
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to humanity, you know, just really taking not judging people,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and and taking them in. And I always say the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: silent character of the show is club eating. Club beating
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: is a safe haven where all of these social misfits
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: come with no judgment and hold each other down. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Madam has supplied that, and myself as coming in as
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: her um, her nephew, am um. The casting process, it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was written first and foremost, I have to shout out
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Christian Keys. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Christian Keys,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: because it's based on his book Ladies nighte Um. If
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you didn't know, and Christian wrote all the queens men,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think, um, I don't. I don't want to miss
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: quote the amount of years, but he wrote it pretty
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: probably think about roughly ten years ago. For and the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Amp character was supposed to be Christian's breakout role. And
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Kristin actually plays the concinerge on All the Queen's Men,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and he's also executive one of the executive producers, so
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he wrote this character and he told me, he said,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: once I saw your audition tape, that's a that's a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He's like, it's like, he got it. You understood it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And I really did at that time when I auditioned
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: for Ampler far audition for Assistance and UM. At that time,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I wasn't in the one bedroom apartment with two other people,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and I just understood the circumstances of this kid ruling
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to get out of you have have a chance at life,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: like half his piece of the pie. And I did
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: not know what went into prison for based on the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: audition side, but what I did, I said, there's something
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: about because in the first probably ten minutes of the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: show he runs to apologize, why is he doing that?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That obviously showed to me that that's not a bad kid.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad kid. That was a kid that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: felt victim the circumstances. So I built this whole back
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: story on twenty years old, and all I knew was
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that he came out of prison after nine years I said,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is not a bad kid, and and getting this
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: series and getting the rest of the scripts, it wasn't.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He is actually a victim of circumstance from one bad choice.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And and he's actually an upper class and upper class um,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: upper middle class kid, probably upper class upper class in Atlanta.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And you know, Atlanta is built on it's the South Um,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's built on black x Linson and um. You know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a certain level of moral, upper level, moral decorum in
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: certain circles. And that is where it comes from. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and became a victim of his father's ambition. And a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: lot of times, and a lot of times, as young
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: black men or even black man period, we're not allowed
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to feel. We're not allowed to be vulnerable. We're not
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: allowed to say, hey, I don't feel okay. We have
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to mask it and we have to just make it work.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And so amp was always just trying to a piece
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of parents, make his dad proud of him. He's in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: my mind, he was an athlete, a D one athlete,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: coming out of school, high school, full ride, everything, But
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he had a drinking problem. He had a drinking problem.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That point right there, because of the fact that I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't want to veer too much. I want people gotta
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: watch you. You're a good talk with that. Scott vest
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the Black. We're interviewing on this series ex fighting series
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on bt UH plus series UH streaming lines called All
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Queen's Men. He plays uh. He plays a young
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: man like he said, he made a mistake and who
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: has to find his way back into life. And he
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: plays the nephew of a Her character name is Madam
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and she owns the club. And the club is filled
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: with male dancers. And if you're if you're a fan
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of Magic Mike, you know this is the same thing,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but it's just African Americans who are The lead character
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is a female, not a male, okay, and her bodyguard
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is a female not a male, okay. The decisions that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: all made from a operation standpoint, made by women. It's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: an empowering show from that standpoint. And this is why
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I really like this series. And this is why because
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm older than you and I've been able to see
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: television grow from a different perspective, like you know, like finstance,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: mafia movies have always seen to cross over and be accepted.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You know, the violence, the wholness, the the slickness, the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: family you know, always was brought into And what we've
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: seen since power has come on is that now they're
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: allowing us to tell our stories. I'm talking about the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: general public, even black people, allowing us to tell our
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: stories from a standpoint of pop Okay, I'm sorry, Okay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So now they're allowing us to tell our story. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that's why I really like this because it has credibility
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to it. This is this is no different than you know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: when when when when when I s Q did players
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: long time ago, okay with Bernie Mac But it's but
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's the credibility and the crafting and the styling,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and the fact that now we don't have precedents, we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: can see things that are like Okay, I can I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: can buy into this. And that's why I really enjoyed Scud.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I really enjoy your role and enjoy the characters and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the fact that, man, this is, like you said, it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: is a club filled with misfits, but they're relatable misfits.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But because they all caught up into a world that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they kind of trapped in. They can leave, but they trapped.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and and and because people care for them too. Yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's like a family atmosphere. And I'll go back.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I'll go back to what you said. Um, as far
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: as you know, Madam being Madam and being Am usually
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the kid comes out. He's a trouble kid, that was,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and it's like, that's not the case. That is not
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the case. You know. Um, you do get to see
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Amp brings you into the eyes of this already established
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: world and so now as the viewer, you're kind of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: navigating this new thing through AM's eyes. And that is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: what I loved that m has such a innocence and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: almost a niven tae to what is going on. And
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he's also being schooled on, um, how to open up
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: himself because you can see he's not very open, but
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you see the learning. And I love that Am. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: always call him the viewer's character, the viewer's character because
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: because you're learning how this goes, just as Ample is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: learning how it goes. So that was pretty cool to me. Absolutely,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Let's let's go to my male dancers. Now, my boy,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you know, my boy, my boy, midnight face f go.

• 14:11
  Speaker 1: out on the dance flow and he did it. I said,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this boy is doing this for a living. Actually, all
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of the guys solos were even though we do have
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a choreographer, John Silver for the group numbers, but all
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of the guys solos were actually choreographed by themselves. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that was a cool part. That's a cool part that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I think with this show is so authentic because those
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: guys live that life for reading and that is what
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That's why I feel there's a draw to the show

• 14:46
  Speaker 1: are authentic to this art form because it is an
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: art form and I had to learn it, and I

  Speaker 1: I was, uh their sympathy and the Amp character played
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: by Sky. There is a romance between Sky and Dimond
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Diamonds to and she's the DJ kind of like that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the force of the house, uh that there uh, the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you know it's playing Blue is like this fearless bodyguard.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody's fearless. Everybody's fearless and this whole role and and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it's like it's it's one of those roles. It's one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of those shows that where you just challenged to step up.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You know, if you if you want something in like
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: step up, don't don't ask for it. If you if
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that's what you want, to demand it and then put
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: forth the effort to achieve it. And that's how you
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: see your character developed as you go into the halfway
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: house and we see you starting to one. I like
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the way they brought your character along. It didn't jump
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: out too fast. You wanted to try to go the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: route of what you thought would be successful. And then
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you saw an outlet talk about that transition in the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: AMP character in the series All the queens Men. Well, yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: like you said, I really really love that. I love
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: AMPS character arc because you know he is coming out
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of I'm sorry, everybody wants to call you a chill
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: multiple cameras, So don't worry. We're editing to be clean, irrelevant, clean, okay, cool. Um.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I do love AMPS character art because you have to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: realize it's coming out of prison after nine years, right,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So All the queens Men takes place current, So that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was two thousand and twelve. So now when he's coming out,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: obviously he's been in prison, melling over is what happened
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to him, and how he wants to just come out
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and do better and be better. But now you see
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: him coming on, Like you said, he's like, how can
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I take the road over straight? And now how can
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I just be better? How can I see her away
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: from trouble as much as possible? And then he starts
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to see that in warning a better life for himself
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and also being ostracized by his family. He doesn't have
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: mom and that anymore. Wait, now I can maybe I'll
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: start this new life because sixty days later I have
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to go and get it. I'm gonna be out of
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the halfway house and I have to make decisions on
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: how do I become a man that is that's self
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: sufficient And one of the best one of my favorite
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: lines in the whole show, and if you haven't seen it,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you'll see it. If you have seen it, it's where
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Amp hasard Amp says he's starving to dime and he says,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: but do you think this is really me? And that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: one line shows you who am bigs. He really, really,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: really is a goal getter and he's gonna make it happen.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But he still has this underlying just morality thing like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it, but going to do it by enemies, necessary,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: gonna sacrifice, and I want to do it right right.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: But she also asked you. She also comes back and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: ask you, this is what you really want? Okay? Yeah,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: she challenges you because she said, once you get in,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to go back, and there's a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: lot of work. She reminds you that there is still work.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: It looks good. It's it's work to entertain, it's work
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to make them develop this clientele. That's the beauty of
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: this whole conversation is that no matter what you do
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in life. That's why I was able to take portions
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: of the story and applied. If you want to be
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a banker, if you want to be an engineer, you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: want to go to college, it's if that's what you
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: want to do, you you point your life in that direction,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: work is tied to it. And that's the same thing
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: with your career. Despite setbacks, being homeless three times, being
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in a place with living with two people and on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: one bed room, which are similar to the halfway house,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: or you had no problem with somebody is sleeping in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the room with you because that was a familiar consciousness.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: That's why I feel comfortable with your character now that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it is out. You know, the premier September nine. How
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: has the public reacted to your character and to the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: show man. I will be honest with you and say that, um,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we had a brief chance to speak before we went live,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and the reactions have been so overwhelmingly positive. It's such
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: it's so gratifying. I literally walk around and I've been
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta for the past week, and people say, oh,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that's UM and some people and some people get offended
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: about that. I don't I've done at all because last
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: year I was parking cars. I was valet parking cars
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: from seven pm at nine two three in the morning
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: so I could audition in the daytime to be able
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to be blessed enough to get a role that actually,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: UM has impacted people like I've forgotten countless DM say, Hey,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: your story and your struggle has inspired me. Your character
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: inspires me because going back to what you said, anything
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you want, you can do it, but it requires a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: level of work and sacrifice, and you have to be
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: okay with the working hardest sacrifice. That's really important to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: understand that. You know, let's let's talk about the shift
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to this career. Here. You know, you dancing. You know
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you're a good looking guy. Are you in shape? You know?
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: You know? And now you're on now you're on Now
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you're on the TV show where you really gotta be
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: in shape because the guys for real, man for real,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know you're good look at guys, guy,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: But you know when you walked in the room with Okay, okay,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: got I gotta do a little bit more work with
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: these guys around me because they know clans. I got trainers. Hey, man,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I said, I said, boy, I said, that's why. That's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: why I enjoyed Man. And I'll be wrong if I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: don't bring up Trouble. If I don't bring up the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Trouble character, we have not done this interview correctly. I apologize.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: She's She's one of the sweetest, sweetest people you ever
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: want to She's incredible. Yea, And Trouble is a character
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that comes into the show. She's a female that you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to miss. Um Again, the show is diverse.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It allows you to share different lifestyles, accept different lifestyles,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: laugh at different lifestyle be brought into the emotional mistakes
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that we make, not only the lead character, Madam, but
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: also the relationship that Blue has, and also the relationship
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the decisions not only that the main characters make on
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the show, but the the the co starring characters make
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: on the show. That's what I really like about the show.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I really like the fact that, uh, for me to
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday afternoon, I'm just telling you for real
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: that I'm not a guy who likes to just, you know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: just sit down and watch show after show the show.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I was brody. I if it would have been eleven, twelve,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: thirty four, I probably would have watched them. I probably would.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: But Tim was it. Ten is an incredible number. So
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta ask you that. Okay, were's ten through twenty? Okay,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: well we're level through twenty? Where what's going on with that? Man?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Don't don't do me wrong? Now say something crazy? Well,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I guess that is up to the people. Okay, And
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: if y'all keep streaming, to keep watching it, y'all will
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: create a god from mine from y'all wants to gods?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Is in my mouth? To God's? Is get ten through
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: twenties season two, three, four or five, six seven? Like
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you know anything, It's possible. But I do know that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's getting an overwhelmingly positive response and everybody's happy. So
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: when everybody is happy, that's a sign for soon hoping,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: he Tim Twuny, you know I'm waiting too. I'm like,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you know all this this is a very physical show,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you know, very touched, very close. We know by COVID,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: we know about that the standards that Tyler Perry himself
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: implemented at the studio that he does. How was this
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: taped and how was the testing process to make everybody
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in the cast feel comfortable? Um, so that you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. I never feel the show outside of COVID.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: When my career really kicked off, it started with Sisters.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So by the time I shot all the Queen's Men,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I had already film Sisters, So I was very used
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to being comfortable at Tyler Perry Studios. I always say
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry sudials for me, it's like a dolt disney
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Bro because, um, it's the safest place on earth because
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: we tested even before we left our home states. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: had to quarantine and test, and we had another test
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: before we got on the plane, twenty piles before then
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: we had another test soon as we got there. Um.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Then we were sequestered to our own separate areas, and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: then we tested litterally, I think every two to four days,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and now it's even testing more frequently, just because you
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: know the various um delta variants and all that stuff,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: so you feel completely safe. And we were not allowed
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: to be outside of the actual studio property, so we
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: had everything you could have war, I mean food trucks.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Tyler was even generous enough to give us after wrapping.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It was only after wrapping for two hours still alcohol
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: truck um and catering on catering grocery stores. So it
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: was very comfortable. Like nobody felt any kind of There
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: was no point, at no point where you scared or
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: felt you were at risk. So it was incredible. I personally,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I like that way. I don't want to come back
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to the way that well, you know, the thing about
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: watching your character, watching you develop and uh, first of all,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna do my duty, you know, and tell
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: im I'm anna feature on my Motivational Monday segment because
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: your story is a as a dancer and h ballet
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: training with Mr Copeland U the famous ballet living based
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: out of New York, you know, being able to share
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the state the lime lights already have been there. But
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I want to just talk about making that transition because
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes we get focused in this is what I do,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and then somebody comes along into your life and say,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you know you can do more, and then but sometimes
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that doubt comes into our lives and say why are
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you are well? Because that means that you're you're going
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: into an unknown and that's what stops people in the unknown. Part. Now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Debbie Allen came into your life and push you talk
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: about that, and so people who are listening and watching
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the show, can I understand the value of people seeing
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a person's greatness and then asking them to act on it. Yeah. So, um,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: some years ago when I um, when I used to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: ask a rid carry Mrs Allen was the artistic director
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and choreographer and even before that I had does I
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: work with her? And she slipped at me and she said, honey,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you're an actor. I'm gonna make you an actor. And
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I said, now, you're not. That's not me. She said, honey,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you don't know who you are yet, and she was
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: so right, and she literally from the beginning, she took
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: me under her wing and she gave me parts in
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: her stage plase, and it was it became this kind
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of like, oh, this is cool. But then with the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: training and everything like that, I started to find this
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: kind of I'll be honest, it became an obsession for me.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I always put God first, and that's just me.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to surrender to what you think you
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: want and follow what will God has for you in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: your life. And I always say when I pray, specifics
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: matter because I remember being a kid and I was like,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I want to be on TV. I want to be
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a star, I want to do it up and actually
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I wanted to sing. But when I prayed, I prayed,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I said, I want to be on TV and that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was my destiny. And I felt like God gave me
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: an angel in Debbie Ellen to notice what was already
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: going to be my destiny down the line and walk
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: fully in purpose. And I'm a true believer of that,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and it is the best feeling ever. I never personally
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: planned to be an actor, but I'm so glad that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I was able to acquiesce to the prayer for my
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: life and and and after I acquiesce, I'm not gonna
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: say it was easy because there's a lot of nose.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of rejection, there's a lot of this.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Like again, nothing worth happening is easy. Nobody makes it overnight.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I was watching an interview with DENZELI said, it is
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: being over that success and it took and it took
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: me about twit. So um again, sometimes you gotta listen.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta listen when you do listen, keep doing. Yeah,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I hope you all of you listening to me. Man. Great,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: you're super talented, you're handsome, you're humble. It comes across
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: on the screen and uh, you gotta probably out there. Man.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, thoroughly entertained. And you know, I'm
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: just so happy that television is allowed with the streaming
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: platforms allowed for black content to be shown like this.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Because we was under the old format, great content like
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: this would not be seen because we was under streaming
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: allows this format to come out, you know, all the
• 30:39

  Speaker 1: It's a new documentary. Please welcome to Money Conversation. For
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the very first time I've had his family on the show,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about that. Dr Tony Evans. How
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you doing, sir, Hello, We're gonna be with you. Well.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: The beauty of having you on your show because I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: always try to do a little research first. One later,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: everybody know, we're gonna talk about Journey with Jesus. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I I called that a visual sermon, sir. That's what
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: was my takeaway. It is. It's the opening and I'm
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna give away the details of the of the documentary,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: but the but I can't share the emotion of the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: documentary Journey with Jesus is that, you know, like I said,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you know I was I'm born and raised in Houston, Texas.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: And when I first moved to New York, I you know,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I knew about Broadway, I knew about oh, the Statue
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: of Liberty. When I saw it, it had an emotion
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to me. When I saw the Empire State Building, it
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: had an emotion to me. When I moved to Los
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Angeles and I walked down and so the Chinese Man Theater,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and so the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and then the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Santa Monica Beaches, it is so resonated in my life
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that it had an emotional pool to me, and I
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: went wow. I didn't realize how much it had an
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: effect on me. And I only say that because being
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a man who preaches the word of God and then
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: it shares these blessings and come in some words, that
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: allows us to understand these blessings by to your teachings.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Going to Israel has to have an amazing emotional pool
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to you correct, well, absolutely. In fact, what we're trying
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to do is get people to join me and the
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: experience that I and my family had when we were there.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're watching the Bible come off the page
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and become a living experience in your life. It's one
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: thing to know about the Lord, it's another thing to
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: experience the Lord. And this this documentary was designed to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: bring people into a visual experience of the Lord, where
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: he did what he did, where he lived, where he
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: demonstrated his glory, where he did his miracles, where he
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: taught his lessons, so that you are entering into the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: moment and it becomes a dynamic reality rather than a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: theoretical informational session. Well, you know, it's like one of
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: my favorite shows of TV is Aerial America. You know
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that show that shows the world from a visual uh
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: from the ten thousand square feet high in the air.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: You look down, you get a perspective of the power
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: of of of the world that we don't appreciate sometimes.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: And when I when from the very opening. I went wow,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I felt a strong presence to this series. What was
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: what was the story you was trying to tell visually?
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Dr Tony Evans with Journey with Jesus, Because there are
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: two stories. There's an oral story, but the visual story
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I think play of important role to tell us about that. Well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: what we tried to do is combine the sites with
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the sound. You know, when you look at the TV,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you don't just want to hear the hear the sound.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: You want to picture, but you don't want to picture
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: without the sounds. We want to site and sound. So
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: what we tried to do with show where Jesus was
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: what happened there give you the truth of scripture, while
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: we gave you the visual context of where that particular
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: passage or that particular truth took place. So you're seeing
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: what you're hearing and not just hearing what you're hearing.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: And so we did that with each of the sites.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Many people have never been to Israel, uh and you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: can't go right now very easily, and so this way
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: they can, they can go onto Jesus Journey and join us.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: As we went on to Jesus Journey, we talked about
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: seven people with us who went on the journey with us.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I thought was, but why limit this the seven hundred?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Why don't we film it so people who can't go
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Heaven gone, or need to need to go again can
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: can join the Evans clan in this journey. And so
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: it was an exciting thing to be able to give
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: people what we were seeing and let them see it
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: at the same time we were seeing it. Well, you know,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: let's talk about that whole journey, because it's an emotion.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: It was. It was funny when I watched you always
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: looked like you were stepping down into something. You was
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: always stepping down, you know. Is that the way just
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the natural the natural architect or high everything is laid
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: out because you was always going down, down, stepping down
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: into into some hollow chamber until some some room or
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: some some some space. So talk about that whole architecture.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Dr Tony Evans. Well, of course you have a lot
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of rolling areas in the in the Holy Land, and
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: then of course in many places they built monuments to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: what happened or what is believed to have happened on
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Mathotis to the site, and then giving a space for
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: people to gather, they created steps for you to enter
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: into that area because over time things have been uh,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: things have been built up. So this allows you to
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to to to flow with the topolophy in the land
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: while at the very same time being in a place
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: where you can gather large groups of people to hear
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the teaching that's taking place, uh relative to the site
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and location in which you are focusing on. How many
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: times have you been there? Because I, let's heard Priscilla
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: said one other time you win and when you first
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: day you came back and just told the family your
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: experience and all that time. How many times have you
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: been to Israel? Dr Tony Evans, I've been there about
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: five times. We uh we lead a group on a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: semi regular base history throughout National Ministry, the Urban Alternative
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and uh people who want to go with us and
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: hear the teachings and see the sites and so so yeah,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: this was but each time is a fresh experience and
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: each time there is new inspiration that comes because you
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: are you, you know, you in the spot there. Well
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: you know I know it. You know that, Like I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: said that when I when I think about it, I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: remember when I was in New York, I was going
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: up to be a stand up comedian, and like I came,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I was. I came out of the subway of forty
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: second and I came out of that subway knowing this
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: is what I wanted to be, knowing this the place
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I wanted. I just felt power. I felt this rush
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: of emotion that Wow, I'm actually here and I'm fulfilling
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: my dreams. And so going to Israel for the very
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: first time for you had to be fulfilling the dream
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: as well. Dr Tony Evans talk to us about that
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: very first time because each time you your eyes see more,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: you know, because things slow down. But that first time
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: it's all emotion, and then you when you get back,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: you start recollecting and say, I wish I would have
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: done this. Talk about that first time you'll visit to Israel. Well,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the first time is exciting anticipation because you know where
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: you're going, but you don't know all that you're gonna see,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and you don't know how it will affect you. But
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you know because you've never been that it is something
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: to look forward to. So there's great anticipation that first time.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: So you kind of get hit with a while bang
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you know, you you know, everything becomes an aha moment.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: You're in the first experience. But it's like studying the Bible.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: When you go back to the passage that you've preached before,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: new things emerged that you didn't see the first time
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you studied it or preached from it. So the first
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: time I visited Israel bam. But now every time afterwards,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to go deeper, see more experience, more so
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: that I can build on top of that first time
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: layers of excitement about who Jesus is, what he did,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: and what he still can do. Right, You're interesting talking
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: about because you know, when you talk about God, you
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: talk about Jeez, you talk about anything that's historical or biblical.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Television and movies have their own versions of it, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: so their own versions can be big, overwhelming, and so
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: like I remember when I went to France and I
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: went to London and I started, I said, that's not
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: that big. How many people didn't get in this little
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: small area? Did any of the the ay that the
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: dimensions of the size where events were held, uh become
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: understated When you actually was there live you went, Wow,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: this is not what I expected, but you still were
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: inspired by it. Well, yeah, number that first of all,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the land of Israel is very compact. People are living
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: very close together, you know. You know, you you think
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be driving a long way and you're going
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: across the street and you're a whole another you know. Uh. So,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: so that is a lot of it. Some places of
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: further than others, but a lot of it's come back.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: So that that caught my attention. And then when you
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: look at the sites, for example, when we went to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Peter's house, because they are the architecture, uh and the
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: archaeological digs came to Peter's Peter's home and they were
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: able to identify it. And so when you when you
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: went there and you saw what what a house structure
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: would look like back then it you know, and you
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: didn't have a picture of that before. It just said
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the Bible just tells you Peter's house. They don't describe
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Peters house. So then you get to see it and
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it shows you how different our
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: lives are the day from what they were experiencing back
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: two thousand years ago. So yes, you you you you
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: get a lot of surprises. But because of the inspiration
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: tied to the surprise, you are you are invigorated a
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: fresh each time. You know. Interesting thing. I come from Houston, Texas,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, born in the inner city. You know,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: a fear for you know. So six sisters, two brothers.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Father was a truck driver, a third grade education. Mom
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: graduated from high school. So well, we didn't, but they
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: were very important in my life because they made sure
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: we stayed focused and uh and also enable us to
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: live the life that they felt that we could if
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: they if they, if we all did the right things.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: And in this and in this visual sermon, I like
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to call it journey, the journey with Jesus because it's
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: so beautiful and it and you get to hear Dr
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Tony Evans preach, You get to hear from his family,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: his amazing the children, and see his wife. You know
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: that it is too Daddy and that's the nickname for
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: your father in Baltimore. And it talks about how early
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: on things can be shaped and that shape can lead
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: to a different paths. I would say we live a
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: fork and a roll, and everybody lives in the fork.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I always say that to myself. Then we all lives
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: in the fark and a world left the right because
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: You can never just stay down in the middle. You
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: have to make a decision. And your father made the
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: decision for you. Talked about how that impacted you because
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: it's discussed in Journey with Jesus, and I'm sure it's
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: relatable to a lot of people who would see for
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the very first time. Well, yeah, my father came to
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: faith when he was about thirty years old, and and
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that forever changed the trajectory of our home. He brought
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: he brought Jesus Christ and every element of our family. It,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, our family was turned inside out. He transferred
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: that faith to his children, to to my mother first
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: and then to his children. We adopted that faith as
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: our own. That gave us a foundation as a family
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: that was fraying before then that was now being solidified
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and becoming solid. And so now his grandchildren, his great grandchildren,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and now his great great grandchildren have seen that faith
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: transferred to them. And it shows our one man who
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: makes the right commitment as a legacy that can last
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: hundreds of years. And so we hope to just keep
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that legacy rolling and going and uh. And that's what
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: we need, particularly from men today in our culture, because
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: too many families don't have a legacy to build on,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and that is because of the absentee is too many fathers.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: So I have the privilege of having a father grounded
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: in faith and who was not ashamed to transfer. We'll
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: be right back with more money making conversation with the
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: founder and pastor of Oak Clip Bible Fellowship, Dr Tony Evan.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Adoption of teams from foster care is a topic not
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: enough people know about, and we're here to change that.

• 49:45
  Speaker 1: and for some that feeling lasts more than a moment.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: We can change that. Learn how it belonging begins with us.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Dot org brought to you by the AD Council. Welcome
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: milet in machines. This is Roshan McDonald. Welcome back to
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: money making conversations. As I continue my conversation with founder
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and Pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, Dr Tony Evidence,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that legacy. You know, because two
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: of your children, you know, I've had the privilege of
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: interviewing your son, Anthony Evans Junior, tremendous singer performed on
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: the Voice. And Priscilla Shire, you know she was I
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: interviewed when she was doing the movie The Overcomer. Now
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: you know, very good actress, great motivational speaker, and it
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: was it was funny because hey, Loupe, Loupe, I love it.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it and uh and and
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: and so the beauty of that because that was an
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: emotional moment because I saw the movie and uh and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: role in it, and and I realized that you guys
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: moved forward with as a family. But I wanted to
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: bring that up because relationships make people do things. And
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: it's a very signior thinking matter my having a relationship,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: whether it's interviewed or Anthony, we relate through food. And
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Loopy's restaurant was our bond and and we laugh about it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: I brought it to you off are you go, yes, Loupe, Loope,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: that's our place. That is what life is about, bonding
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: people together. That's what the ministry is about, bonding people
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: together and making things relatable. Is am I correct? Oh? Absolutely? Uh.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: One of the goals of the of doing the film
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: was not only to connect us closer with the Lord,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: but to connect us people closer with each other. And
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: family is the first place of connectivity. And so families
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: can have a shared faith, they can have a shared anchor,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: and when that anchor is lost and the frame starts,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: then the repercussions of a negative legacy begins to take
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: place rather than a positive legacy. So if this film
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: can be used to bring people strengthen their faith but
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: strengthen their connectivity around their faith, then becomes a double
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: win all the way around. Absolutely absolutely, And you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: you know for people who see his own podcast and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: also played out on YouTube and visual, you know, Priscilla
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: came into the picture. You know, she did the same
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: thing and the documentary she walks on stage. No, she
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: has no business being on the stage. So she used
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: to just popping in and in and feed with the
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: float of everything. So but that makes all right, Dr Tony,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: That's how she rolls, right. Well, now she's featured a
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: lot from a start, almost like a co host in
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: some ways, Priscilla is in this process. Why was that
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: important to have her voice because it allowed her to
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: pull certain emotions, pull certain answers out of it, especially
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: uh certain areas that you guys were speaking talking about
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: her role in this particular documentary, Journey with Jesus, which
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: was filmed in Israel. Well, her role was to walk
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: with me because we didn't want to have that family connectivity.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: We wanted this not to be me, but we wanted
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: to show relationally. I mean, my late wife was there.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: You know, Anthony did the music, So there was a
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: bonding that took place, and so we wanted to show
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: pieces of that as part of the documentary so that
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: people would see our faith is personal, but it should
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: be shared on a familial level. And so uh so
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: she likes to talk. No, no, you don't like she
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: got it from doc. I got it from your doc.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Come on, now, I got it from you. Apple doesn't
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: fall from from the tree. What can we say? I like,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: I say, it's a beautiful thing. Now, this whole process,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: and I just want to be um. I wanted to
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: have fun with this interview. I wanted to be how
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be an honest intervise that's how you roll.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: But more importantly, you get to see if the Bible
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: come to life. I can am I saying that accurately
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: about this journey. The Bible is not just a word
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: about God. It is the voice of God in print.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: But whenever the verbal can become visual, sever you can
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: see what you're learning, it then establishes itself in your
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: mind and heart. At a deeper level. So we wanted
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: to help the Bible to become alive in the experience
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: of the of the reader by giving them a visual
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: to go alongside with the verbal. I'm gonna ask you
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: a question. Maybe maybe it is. It's a thing about
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: finding yourself. You know, Like I always tell people are
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: all my life, Dr Tony Evans. People always said I
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: was special, I was unique. I was and I really
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: didn't understand what they was talking about that And I
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: always tell people went into my authorities that I accepted,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I accepted responsibilities of being who I was. For Sean
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: McDonald that things that would happen if we wasn't luck.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: It was tied to hard work. It was tied to,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: you know, understanding the value of my responsibilities. I found
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: out who I was and I started to live my life.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Can you answer this question, this is the question that
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: can be ansid. What do you think Jesus realized he
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: was Jesus, Well, you have you have the dynamic of
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: what we call it theology, the hypostatic union, which is
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: two natures in one person, unmixed forever. So Jesus went
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: through the natural growth. The Bible says he grew in
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: statue and grew in learning. So that was the human
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: growth of his humanity like any child would have, but
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: it was married to deity. So you have two things
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: always happening at the same time in the life of Jesus.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Natural humanity perfectly developing, while deity is forever formed. So
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: both are happening at the same time. Because his nature
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: has never got mixed. They stayed distinct, but within the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: same person. Wow, deepo in there you you go. Indeed, Well,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying is that when you're going the Journey
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: with Jesus, well this documentary, they're gonna be in the
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: theater No. Fifteen through seventeen, They're gonna be a whole
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: lot of people talking at that theater thinking deep sir,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: because I'm ibould tell you, never tell you why, because
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I the popularity of my show is that
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I just do real, natural interviews. I have no agenda.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I'm learning. I asked questions. I think that everybody wants
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: to ask questions when they sit down and talk to you,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: just like I said when when the Jesus realized he
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: was Jesus. Because it's through life, you know, we always
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: try to come to a point where we have to
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: accept the responsibility for what we what we are. And
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: when you talk about the Bible, you're talking about good news,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and then we talk about gospel, and then we talked
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: about good news. So what is good news and what
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: is gospel? Well, the good news for the world gospel
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Greek word is uh hugh on gillian, which means good news,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: and the gospel is good news against the backdrop of
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: bad news. The bad news is need to appreciate the
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: good news, you gotta to understand the bad news. The
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: bad news is that sinful men are separated from a
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: holy God. And all mankind were sinful at various expressions
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: of it. But we all have fallen short of God's
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: standard of perfection. That's the bad news. It's really bad
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: news because God can't accept imperfection in his presence. So
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: that makes the good news awesome news because God has
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: come up with a way to grant us a credit
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: report of perfection. What happens when the person comes to Christ.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: They get to piggyback on Jesus's credit report and says,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus's credit report is perfect credit. When you accept Jesus,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you get a perfect credit score. Even though you and
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I are imperfect, because God allows the righteousness of Christ
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: to be transferred to us. And that makes good news,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: awesome news for all who are willing to respond to well,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the beauty of family. And I will bringing
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: this up a because I, you know, Atlanta have a
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: business and I have a one daughter. She goes to
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: the University of Houston and she was in turning this
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: summer and I was every day she walked in and
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: went home where I was happy. I was proud because
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: she was. You know, you want to create legacies. You
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: want to want to your children to live the life
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: and respect the things that you're doing. To have your
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: children work on this project. Just just slow it down
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: and just talk about how that reacted to you now
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: that your wife and their mother's gone, and how it
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: was important that they was they were a part of
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: We talked about Priscilla being the co host and Anthony
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: he's doing the music, but the fact that they were
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: there were important on this journey. Talk about well, you know,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: family is a big deal. It's a big deal in
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: the Bible, it's a big deal in history, and it's
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a big deal for culture. Uh, you know, whoever owns.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: The family owns the future. The saga of a nation
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: is the saga of his family's written large. You down
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: the family, you destroyed the society. So the fact that
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: we could do this as a family allowed us to
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: understore visually how critical family is to the legacy of faith.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: We didn't just want to preach it and say it.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: We wanted people to see it. So it's very critical. Well,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: you know, Jesus walked on water. You were preaching on water. Uh.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: You you were preaching on and uh and just being creative.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: The whole process of being able to pull that together.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: You know, you guys are producers. You have uh people
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: out there that just to make sure everybody got that experience,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: because like you said, it was seven d eight hundred
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: people who came on this journey with you guys, and
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: you got to do uh sermons and certain very historical
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: locations and things like that. Talk about that experience. And
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: we're talking with Dr Tony Evans Journey with Jesus documentary
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: and over the fifteenth to the seventeen and being selected theaters.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: But more importantly, as I asked these questions with him,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I moved by the fact that the movie moved me.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: It allowed me to see things I had never seen
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: in my life. Dr Tony Evans. It allowed me to
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: slow down and appreciate my life. Dr Tony Evans. And
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: more importantly, God, you share some good news with me. Well,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: the good news, the good news of Jesus Christ is hope.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: You sir, open time and hope for eternity. That's that's
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: twice hold, you know, and we understand the hope that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: comes in Christ in spite of the realities of circumstances.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: And when you're able to experience that yourself and then
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: bring your loved ones into that, then it creates a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: whole new perspective of how you move in the future.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: And so much confusion today, so many pandemics today, so
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: much conflict today. People need to see some hope. And
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: so it is I hope that the journey with Jesus
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: will give people a sense that all is not lost
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: in spite of how bad things look, because what comes
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: with Jesus is a whole bunch basket full. Oh well,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: you know, first of all, I like everybody, this is
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: not a a touristy movie. Uh. This is uh, this
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: is a journey and that's a that's different terminology. And
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: but one thing that I always know that um, I
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: mean when I went to South Africa, because you always
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: have these images of black people, even black people, skinny
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: black people, flies, just just just a darkness that sits
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: over Africa. And so when you see on TV look
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: at it Israel, you think about this bombings and and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: danger and talk about that experience because I felt a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: sense of calm and your journey. I didn't fee any
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't sense any fear on uncertainty. But that's what
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: we get on TV. Absolutely well. You know that's what
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: makes news. You know, the all the negatives stuff, and
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: there's reality into a lot of the negative stuff. That's see,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty that when we journeyed with Jesus, we
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: journeyed in peace. Yes, in a country where there is
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: conflict and and uh and and and people coming at
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: each other, we were in a place of peace. So
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: guess what Jesus says. He says, uh, in me, you
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: in the world, you're gonna have tribulation. In me, you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: will have peace because I've overcome the world. That's what
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the journey of Jesus gives you. A whole bunch of peace.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: His new documentary explores the ministry of Christ is called
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Journey with Jesus, shot on location in Israel. A special
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: phantom event is released in theaters Noveber fifteen through the seventeen.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Dr Tony Evans as always, I enjoyed my conversation with
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: your son Anthony and Priscilla. You know I love her,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: And maybe one day we all gonna meet up at
• 1:02:49
