Praise the Lord. 02:24 We're going to get into for some of our new viewers 02:26 who may not know who Pastor Steve is 02:28 or may not know a little bit about 02:31 what White Horse Media is. 02:32 We're going to talk about that in just a few moments 02:34 as well as get into a topic 02:36 that I believe is probably an important one 02:38 as I'm learning more about 02:40 and hearing him speak about it behind the scenes. 02:43 I'm excited to learn about it. 02:44 But before we go any further 02:45 we're going to have a special music 02:47 by Sister Mary Grace, 02:49 and she's going to be sharing us, 02:50 sharing with us a beautiful number entitled, 02:53 "We Shall Behold Him." 07:57 Amen. Praise the Lord. 07:58 That was a blessing indeed. 08:01 Thank you so much, Mary. 08:03 Well, I'm excited about getting into our program 08:06 here with Pastor Steve Wohlberg. 08:08 And it just seems like it was just yesterday to me 08:11 but for those of you who may not know, 08:12 I haven't always been a Seventh-day Adventist 08:14 as I believe you told me, 08:15 you haven't always been a Seventh-day Adventist either. 08:18 But it just seems like it was yesterday, 08:19 I was not a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, 08:21 but I was learning these powerful truths. 08:24 And I will never forget back in the day, 08:26 I think this was like 2006, 2007, 08:28 I was doing some research on, you know, the Antichrist, 08:34 end time events, Bible prophecy, 08:36 and I'm on YouTube, 08:37 I'm on the internet searching 08:38 and up comes across my screen 08:40 White Horse Media, Steve Wohlberg. 08:42 And I thought, "Oh, this is interesting." 08:43 So I clicked on it. 08:44 And I didn't even know you were even associated 08:46 with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 08:48 I didn't know that you were a minister 08:49 of the Adventist Church. 08:50 But I knew that everything you were preaching 08:52 was biblical. 08:53 It sounded just like what I had read 08:54 in some of the previous studies that I'd done. 08:57 And your ministry early on, whether you know it or not, 08:59 blessed me tremendously and has brought me 09:01 into a more refined knowledge 09:03 and understanding of Bible prophecy 09:05 and end time events. 09:06 Pastor Steve Walberg, 09:07 it's a blessing to have you, Brother. 09:10 And you've come to share with us today, 09:11 White Horse Media. 09:13 For those, we'll start with this, 09:14 there may be someone at home that doesn't know who you are, 09:17 and doesn't really know a lot about White Horse Media. 09:20 Why don't you tell us a little bit about that? 09:21 Sure. Thanks. 09:22 And thank you, Ryan. This is great. 09:24 We have our main website is WhiteHorseMedia.com. 09:28 We picked the name of White Horse 09:29 because of Revelation 19 09:31 that describes Jesus coming on a white horse 09:34 to crush all the forces of evil, 09:36 all the world forces of the devil. 09:38 So we have an office in Priest River, Idaho. 09:41 I live there too, next door to the office. 09:44 We have a great staff. We have a team. 09:46 We have big studio, 09:47 we produce programs on a whole host of topics. 09:51 A number of us traveling hold seminars. 09:53 Our goal is to help people to get ready 09:56 for the coming of Jesus, 09:58 to know about His love, His power, His word, His truth. 10:03 And so that's what we're all about. 10:05 And I love 3ABN, I've been here many times. 10:07 Our programs have been on 3ABN in the past 10:09 and will be in the future. 10:11 And so, it's just, 10:13 it's great to fly into St. Louis, 10:14 get my rental car drive here, 10:16 and have this chance to be with you. 10:18 Amen. Praise the Lord. 10:19 I have turned 3ABN on many times 10:22 and seeing you on there and doing programming. 10:24 And you're also an author. 10:26 You've authored and published many different books, 10:29 and maybe tell us about something about 10:30 maybe some new projects 10:32 or something you've done lately? 10:33 Well, yeah, I never planned on being a writer. 10:36 But God has just moved me into this. 10:39 And I think the count is somewhere around 10:41 40 books I've written. 10:43 You have a couple of them there. 10:46 And the Lord has just, He's been so good to me. 10:48 I've written on a variety of topics. 10:51 The newest one is you have is called 10:53 "Approaching Armageddon, " 10:54 which is our brand new book, just came out this week. 10:57 That's right. This is right here. 10:58 And then the subtitle is 11:00 "Discover Hope beyond Earth's Final Battle." 11:02 And it's all about 11:04 basically what's happening in the world, 11:05 this crazy world, 11:07 all the signs and the mayhem and the violence 11:09 and sexual immorality and a whole host of things. 11:12 And that book, first of all, 11:14 builds confidence in the Bible that the Bible is true, 11:17 that there were prophecies in the past 11:19 that were fulfilled in the past exactly. 11:22 And we can have confidence that what it says about 11:24 what's happening today, 11:25 that's real, 11:27 and what it says about the future, 11:28 about Jesus coming 11:30 and how God's going to get rid of sin. 11:31 It's all in one little book Approaching Armageddon. 11:34 So that's our newest, our newest work. 11:36 And then we're going to tell you 11:37 how to get a copy of this 11:38 or how you can get a copy of this later in the program. 11:41 Let's talk about another project you have 11:42 or at least published project here. 11:45 Climate change 11:46 is at the end of the world, right? 11:48 I just did a 3ABN Radio interview 11:50 on that topic earlier today. 11:51 And that book deals 11:53 with the huge movement these days, 11:56 the climate change movement. 11:58 There's hardly a disaster that hits this planet 12:01 that is not connected by many people 12:03 to climate change. 12:04 And so that book 12:06 kind of examines that whole issue. 12:07 And then it talks about 12:08 the ultimate climate change is coming, 12:11 and Jesus comes and it says, in 2 Peter, 12:14 the heavens and the earth will be on fire. 12:17 And that's real global warming, 12:19 and God's going to completely get rid of sin. 12:21 And then He's going to create a new heaven 12:22 and a new earth 12:24 where there's not going to be any sin, 12:25 suffering, sorrow or death. 12:27 And that book kind of looks at the big picture 12:29 and ultimately focuses on the fact 12:31 that man cannot solve its own problems. 12:34 You know, that we need a divine solution, 12:37 we need Jesus. 12:38 So that's one of our many pocketbooks. 12:40 I think I've taught, 12:42 I've mentioned to you 12:43 that I have another book that's not, 12:44 it's in production. 12:46 And it's called 12:47 "The Bloody Woman and the Seven Headed Beast," 12:50 which is a Bible study 12:51 of the Book of Revelation Chapter 17, 12:53 the woman riding this creature. 12:56 So that's coming, 12:57 and we've got a lot of different projects. 12:59 We have another project that we're working on. 13:01 It's a production called, "The Crowning Act, " 13:04 which is to expose 13:06 Satan's crowning act of personating Jesus 13:10 during the final crisis. 13:13 So we're working on that right now. 13:15 And that should be ready 13:16 as probably a one hour docudrama. 13:19 And it's going to be very powerful, 13:21 it's pointing to the real Jesus 13:22 who's going to come in the clouds. 13:24 He's not going to walk around on the earth and do miracles. 13:26 Praise the Lord. Amen. Absolutely. 13:28 We know it's going to be a blessing 13:29 and I've read several of your books, 13:31 have several of your books in my library at home, 13:33 and I know your ministry is going to be a blessing. 13:36 These projects are going to be a blessing to many of you. 13:38 We'll talk as I said a little bit more 13:39 about how you can get a hold of those projects 13:42 toward the end of this presentation. 13:44 But I have another book here that when I first looked at it, 13:48 I thought, oh, this is interesting. 13:50 But this kind of sets us up 13:51 for what you've come to talk to us about today 13:54 and to educate me and many of you at home about. 13:57 We have a book here entitled, "Sprout Power." 14:00 Tell us a little bit about that? 14:01 And then you can kind of set us up for our discussion 14:04 this evening or today? 14:05 Right. 14:07 And Sprout Power is about 14:08 the incredible health benefits of growing sprouts 14:11 and microgreens. 14:12 And as I thought about our interview normally 14:14 when I come to 3ABN and do programs, 14:16 you know, I'm in my suit, my tie, 14:18 as you are which is, which is great and appropriate. 14:21 But I thought to myself, you know, 14:22 our topic specifically in this segment 14:26 is going to be on health and on how to, 14:28 you know, get your hands into growing sprouts 14:30 and microgreens 14:31 and things like wheatgrass 14:33 and alfalfa and broccoli and clover. 14:35 And so I thought, 14:36 I think I'm going to forego the tie 14:38 and wear my green shirt, so. 14:39 Right. 14:41 Now it looks good, looks good. 14:42 I was telling you, you look like you're about to, 14:43 you're ready to go out into the garden any moment, 14:45 so you're good. 14:46 Yeah. And I have a big garden. 14:48 I live in North Idaho 14:49 and we don't have a big long growing season 14:50 because, you know, it gets winter and spring 14:52 and then summer and, but I've got, 14:54 I still got tomatoes growing 14:56 and some Swiss chard and some kale, 14:58 and I've got a lot of fruit trees, plums 15:00 and there's just nothing like picking, 15:03 you know, an apple or a pear or a plum 15:06 from your own fruit tree. 15:08 It's just, it's a blessing. 15:10 But sprouting is been a big part of my life and... 15:13 Yeah, so can you give us a little bit of background 15:16 on how you came, 15:17 became so interested in sprouting, 15:21 and kind of set this up 15:22 because give us a little bit of access. 15:23 So what brought about the interest 15:25 to the in sprouting for you? 15:26 Yeah. 15:27 And, you know, before I do that, 15:29 let's just put a picture of the book on the screen 15:30 and then we'll put a picture of me 15:32 surrounded by all these sprouts. 15:34 Okay, there's Sprout Power, a little pocketbook. 15:37 And now let's go to the next one 15:38 that shows me 15:39 surrounded by all these sprouts. 15:41 Just to let people know that, yes, I really do, do this. 15:44 That's me and my kids. 15:46 My kids are eating sunflower greens there. 15:49 And, so I've been doing this for over 40 years 15:54 as you mentioned, 15:56 you know, you didn't grew up in the church, 15:57 and I didn't either. 15:58 I grew up in North Hollywood studio city, 16:01 Southern California, and I lived a wild life. 16:03 I grew up in a very secular Jewish home. 16:05 And as a teenager, I just took the plunge 16:08 into a wildlife of the parties and the concerts, 16:12 and the discos and drugs. 16:15 And somewhere during my teenage years, 16:18 I started thinking about health 16:21 and how, you know, 16:23 because I was doing all these crazy things, 16:26 I needed to make sure that I didn't, 16:28 you know, fall over and die. 16:30 And that I needed to be concerned 16:31 about my health as well. 16:32 And it seems strange, you know, 16:34 I'm going to the discos, staying up to four, 16:35 four o'clock in the morning or using drugs 16:38 and thinking about health. 16:39 But again, you know, 16:41 I didn't know anything about God, 16:42 I wasn't thinking about the Bible, 16:43 I was just thinking about doing something for my body. 16:46 And somehow, in that course of time, 16:49 as a teenager, I learned 16:51 about the incredible health benefits 16:54 of growing your own sprouts and microgreens. 16:56 So I began to do this in my bedroom. 17:01 And I learned how to do this, 17:02 and I read books on sprouting 17:04 and so I would grow 17:06 all these sprouts in my room or in my, 17:08 in my bathroom, in the kitchen sometimes. 17:11 And I would create these massive sprout salads 17:15 that were just raw, organic, 17:17 no spray, no pesticides, living, 17:21 and I put avocado and lemon, 17:23 and some seasonings 17:25 and I would just devour these sprout salads. 17:28 And, oh, man, I tell you they were good. 17:31 And I can't say for sure, 17:34 but I think that one of the things 17:36 that got me through my teenage years 17:38 or helped me to maintain my health 17:41 was the fact 17:43 that I was growing a lot of sprouts. 17:44 And I've continued to do this even, 17:47 you know, after I became a Christian at the age of 20, 17:49 which was 41 years ago, I continued to sprout. 17:53 And I learned more about health, 17:55 about what people call the eight laws of health, 17:57 you know, the NEWSTART program, 17:59 nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, air, 18:04 rest and trust in God. 18:06 And the N for NEWSTART, which comes to nutrition, 18:10 the word nutrition. 18:12 There's hardly anything 18:15 that you can put into your body 18:17 that has more nutritional punch and power 18:21 than growing your own sprouts and microgreens. 18:23 So I've been doing this for a long time. 18:25 You got me hooked. You got me hooked. 18:26 And I've been through 18:27 in the course of my Christian life, 18:29 I've been through some dark days, 18:31 some real struggles, some real battles, 18:32 which I'm sure you have. 18:34 And I believe that consistently adding sprouts to my diet 18:39 has helped my body to weather many storms. 18:45 And so now I'm 61 and just before I came here, 18:47 I got up at 5:30 in the morning, and I ran, 18:50 I walked and ran about four miles. 18:52 And God is blessing my health. 18:54 And I think that growing sprouts 18:55 is a big part of that. 18:57 Okay. All right. 18:58 So sprouting. 19:01 What is that when you talk about sprouting? 19:02 What's happening 19:04 when the sprouting process is taking place? 19:06 Kind of walk us through that? 19:07 Right, sure. Yeah. 19:09 Basically what sprouting is, 19:11 I mean, everything that's that grows, 19:13 that's a vegetable. 19:14 We all know that vegetables are good for us, 19:16 fruit, good for us. 19:17 Whether it's fruit or vegetable, 19:18 it all starts with a seed. 19:20 And, when you sprout a seed, basically, you take a seed, 19:26 and I'll actually show our viewers 19:28 in a little bit how to grow lentil sprouts 19:31 in their house. 19:32 But when you take a seed and you put it in water, 19:35 or you surround it in water you activate it, 19:38 and it begins to germinate. 19:39 And so the little seed, 19:41 whether, whatever kind of seed it is, 19:43 begins to grow, 19:45 and there's something miraculous 19:46 that most people have never even thought of, 19:49 and that is that when a seed begins to grow, 19:51 and it gets bigger, 19:53 the nutrition that it is getting 19:56 in order for it to get bigger is not coming from the water. 20:00 If you're just putting a seed or some seeds 20:02 in a little jar of water, 20:04 but the nutrients within the seed, 20:07 when it begins to germinate, actually begin to multiply. 20:10 It's just like, 20:11 like what a human is conceived inside a woman, 20:15 you know, you have this, this one new zygote, 20:18 the sperm meets the egg and it becomes a zygote. 20:21 And then what happens is that that zygote divides, 20:25 and you have a perfect copy of the DNA on both sides. 20:28 And then it divides again and divides again 20:30 and divides again. 20:31 And so the divisions are happening on its own. 20:34 And that's what happens with the seed. 20:36 A seed begins to multiply its vitamin A, its vitamin B, 20:41 its vitamin C, its vitamin E, 20:43 you know, different vitamins and minerals, and nutrients 20:45 and phytochemicals, 20:48 and all these different things begin to just multiply. 20:51 It's a miracle. That's right. 20:53 And what people don't realize is that the nutritional profile 20:58 within a growing seed is very, very powerful. 21:02 And the nutrients multiply 21:04 sometimes 100, 200, 300 times what's in the original seed. 21:10 And those who have researched got growing seeds 21:13 and sprouts and microgreens, 21:14 when you grow a little seed about this big, it's a sprout. 21:18 You can grow a little bit bigger, 21:19 but then when you grow it a little bit bigger 21:22 into the next stage 21:24 where the little leaves start coming out. 21:26 And then it becomes what's called a microgreen. 21:29 Those who have studied, 21:30 done nutritional scientific research 21:32 on this that are included, 21:34 that when you take from the seed 21:36 to the full broccoli head in the garden, 21:39 its peak nutritional density is at the microgreen stage. 21:44 And if you take a pound of broccoli microgreens, 21:48 and then put a pound of broccoli 21:51 from your garden, pound for pound, 21:54 there is a lot more nutrition in the broccoli sprouts 21:58 and microgreens 21:59 than there is even in your own garden. 22:01 So what's what the whole thing is sprouting is all about 22:05 is learning how to grow these seeds 22:06 so you can get those nutrients into your body. 22:09 And they will benefit every cell of you. 22:14 It's amazing. 22:15 So as you're describing this, 22:16 I can tell you get it down to a science, 22:18 but it's, but it's also a miracle 22:19 in and of itself, 22:21 because how do you explain how that happens, right? 22:23 How a baby comes about, you know, it's some, 22:24 it's a miracle work of God. 22:25 How a seed grows. 22:27 And you know, these days, people are very, I mean, 22:29 a lot of people are concerned about their health. 22:31 And we all know that 22:33 because of commercial farming, the soil, 22:36 that many of the things that you get in the market, 22:39 the soil is not what it used to be. 22:42 And that affects the nutrients 22:44 that are in what you buy at Walmart. 22:47 And people are also concerned about heavy pesticide use, 22:51 a lot of pesticides. 22:53 And then there's the transit time, 22:55 when you first pick something 22:57 by the time it gets to the market 22:59 and then gets to you, 23:00 there's nutritional degradation 23:02 and then people are concerned 23:03 about genetically modified foods. 23:06 And there's just a whole host of concerns 23:09 about, you know, the nutrients that we're getting, 23:12 even if you go to a market and buy produce. 23:15 And the beauty of growing sprouts, 23:18 is that you're doing it yourself, 23:20 you're not spraying it, it's non-GMO, it's alive. 23:24 There's no chemicals, 23:26 and there's no transit time from picking it, 23:30 you know, two weeks later when it gets in the market. 23:33 But you can actually grow these sprouts, 23:35 you can put them in a salad, in a wrap, in a sandwich. 23:39 And you can just get the full benefit 23:43 of something living, 23:45 which you just, you know, 23:46 there's really hardly any comparison. 23:48 I mean, you can take supplements, 23:50 you can take pills, 23:51 you can do the best you can with your diet. 23:56 But when you eat a lot of sprouts, 23:58 you are getting a dose of nutrition 24:03 that you just can't get anywhere else. 24:06 And it's not hard to do. It's inexpensive. 24:10 You know, people say, "Well, I don't have a garden, 24:12 so I can't grow. 24:13 I don't have land, so I can't grow." 24:15 Yes, you can. 24:16 You can have a garden in your kitchen. 24:18 If people say, "Well, I don't have a lot of money." 24:20 You don't need a lot of money. 24:21 People say, "Well, I don't have much room." 24:23 You don't need much room. 24:24 All you need is a place under your sink, 24:26 and some water and some seeds because people say, 24:28 "Well, I don't have a green thumb. 24:30 I can't do this." 24:31 You don't need a green thumb. 24:33 You can learn the simple ways of growing sprouts. 24:36 And once you, you know, get this 24:39 and figure out how to do it 24:41 and the benefits of doing this on a regular basis. 24:44 I mean, it's, I'm a believer, 24:46 as you saw that picture with me 24:48 surrounded by all these sprouts. 24:49 I'm a believer. 24:50 So let's talk about those benefits 24:52 because you've been doing this for a while. 24:54 There was also time when you didn't do it 24:56 and there's a time you started doing it. 24:58 So what are some extra added health benefits 25:00 that someone would might experience 25:02 if they start doing this sprouting 25:04 and eating them? 25:05 So... 25:06 Yeah, there, there's a whole host 25:08 of benefits. 25:09 You could Google the health benefits 25:10 of sprouting in my little book Sprout Power. 25:13 There's a long list. 25:14 I mean, it gives nutrients to every cell in your body. 25:18 Sprouts are loaded with fiber. 25:20 So they help things 25:22 move through the digestive tract. 25:24 They do things for your, the walls of your arteries. 25:29 They provide nutrients 25:31 to every single organ of the body. 25:34 I mean, the list just goes on and on. 25:36 They help with your eyes. 25:37 They help with you with different kinds of, 25:39 many of them are very highly anti-cancer, 25:43 such as there's a chemical in broccoli sprouts, 25:45 which has been well researched. 25:47 It's called sulforaphane. 25:49 And studies have shown 25:51 that it is a potent anti-cancer nutrient. 25:56 And so whether it's cancer, heart disease, diabetes, 25:59 the list goes on, you know, 26:01 any major condition is going to be, 26:05 your body will be stronger 26:08 when you regularly eat sprouts of microgreens. 26:11 COVID-19, people are concerned about, 26:13 you know, getting the Coronavirus. 26:15 And if you build up your nutrients 26:17 when this virus comes in 26:19 to your nose or into your mouth, 26:21 and then you know the little crown 26:24 attaches itself to different cells 26:26 inside your nasal cavity 26:27 or inside your respiratory tract. 26:30 If those cells 26:31 that the Coronavirus attached to 26:34 are strong, 26:35 your body is much more able to fight this virus 26:40 and so you build up those cells, 26:42 you build up your immune system 26:45 through eating a healthy diet and sprouts and microgreens 26:48 are just top notch. 26:49 That's amazing. Wow. 26:51 So I've had, I've had sprouts before. 26:53 I've never actually done it myself 26:55 with the exception of you know sprouting beans, 26:57 which I think you're going to give us 26:58 a little bit of a demo, or show it, tell us, 27:00 walk us through the process in just a moment. 27:02 But I've had sprouts on sandwiches, 27:04 I've had sprouts on wraps, I've had sprouts on salads. 27:07 And they're just that, 27:08 it seems like an extra added just, 27:11 I don't know I call like a happy additive, 27:13 a happy substance to just kind of give substance 27:14 to your food. 27:16 And they taste great. 27:17 And so I've enjoyed them as well, I just do. 27:19 Now that I'm hearing you talk about it, 27:20 I'm learning on the all the benefits 27:22 and you're going to walk us through in just a moment. 27:24 So you know, you've spoken about reasons to sprout there, 27:29 you know, people don't sprout, right? 27:31 So there's reasons people don't sprout. 27:34 But obviously, you're here to tell us 27:36 why we need to sprout 27:37 and I want to just talk about now, 27:40 kind of walk us through the process 27:42 of the sprouting process. 27:45 Because you've mentioned broccoli sprouts, 27:48 I've heard of alfalfa sprouts, bean sprouts. 27:50 But you have something here, 27:52 I believe the little visual for us 27:54 on how what the process actually looks like 27:57 from start to finish and how long it takes. 27:59 Right. 28:00 Yes, I decided to put together some slides to teach people 28:04 in a really simple way, 28:06 how to grow a seed called a lentil. 28:08 Lentils sprout just fabulously. 28:10 So there's our first picture. 28:13 And let me just walk you through what to do. 28:15 These are... 28:16 Now just for the record, these are lentils. 28:18 And then people can buy lentils, anywhere, right? 28:20 Lentils are pretty much available. 28:22 It's a very easily accessible seed. 28:25 Most markets have lentils, health food stores, 28:29 you can buy them in bulk, they're very easy to get. 28:31 And they're also very easy to sprout. 28:33 So if you look at this picture, you'll see that is a quart jar, 28:37 where it says Monday morning 28:39 and what I did was I took a bag of lentils 28:41 and I poured half of that bag into that jar. 28:44 And you can see that the seeds go up about halfway. 28:47 And then I filled it up with water. 28:49 And I did this on a Monday morning. 28:51 So right across from it, you'll see the next picture, 28:54 it's the same jar, same lentil seeds, 28:57 but five hours later that same day on Monday, 29:01 you can see how those seeds have expanded dramatically 29:04 and they're now, 29:06 they're almost up at the top of the water. 29:08 And so those seeds are active, they're germinating, 29:10 they're growing. 29:12 And if you do this with a seed, 29:13 and you can see it growing up like that 29:15 after a few hours in the water, 29:17 that tells you that it's a good seed, 29:20 it's not a bad seed. 29:21 Some seeds don't sprout 29:22 because they're bad, they're too old, 29:24 but most seeds do. 29:25 So five hours later, that's what you have. 29:26 Now then let's go to the next slide. 29:29 And this was just the same day, 29:30 I took that jar that was full of water 29:33 and I poured, 29:34 I had a little sprout lid 29:36 which are easy to get with little holes. 29:38 So I poured the water into a sink 29:40 and then right across that you can see 29:42 I took that jar and I tilted it 29:44 and I put it in a little plastic lid, 29:47 just a little plastic tray 29:49 and so that the water would just continue to go out. 29:54 You don't want water. 29:55 You don't want your seeds sitting in water 29:58 once you've begun sprouting them. 30:00 And so that's what I do. 30:02 I take it, 30:03 I just let it sit there on an angle. 30:05 And the idea basically is that you give them a bath 30:10 one time to get them growing. 30:12 And then you rinse them twice a day, 30:15 you give them a shower, that's a simple way to say. 30:17 Give them a bath once to get them going. 30:19 And then you rinse them twice a day, 30:22 and give them a shower. 30:23 And then you just keep pouring out the water, 30:25 put more water in, 30:26 pour it out, you do that twice a day. 30:27 So I got a question. 30:29 So you said, now one picture showed about five hours. 30:31 So do you leave the water in there for five hours 30:33 and then pour it out or how long? 30:34 Okay. Yes. 30:36 You just, you soak the seeds for five hours. 30:38 And then you pour the water out. 30:39 And then you let it sit on an angle 30:41 so the water will continue to drain. 30:43 And then what I did that on Monday, 30:46 I started on Monday morning, Monday afternoon, 30:48 I drain out the water. 30:49 Monday evening, I took that same jar, 30:52 and I probably took the lid off and put water in from the sink, 30:55 just put it under a faucet and fill it up 30:59 and then drained it out. 31:01 And I let it sit there overnight. 31:03 And so again, the idea is you give them a bath 31:07 under the water one time, 31:10 and then you rinse them, which is your shower, 31:13 you give, you rinse them twice a day. 31:15 So let's go back to the screen. 31:17 And so now you've got, 31:18 you can see I started them Monday morning 31:21 and by Tuesday morning, 31:22 not only were the seeds had the seeds grown up 31:26 in that little quart jar, 31:28 but if you look really carefully, 31:30 you can see that they are sprouting, 31:32 they're growing. 31:33 And that's only one day. 31:35 And then, and then what happened 31:37 was by Tuesday evening, 31:40 they were growing up, 31:43 and I had too many so that eighth, 31:45 that little quart jar was too small. 31:48 And so then I poured the little quart jar 31:52 into a two quart jar. 31:53 And what you see on the opposite side there, 31:56 that is now a two quart jar, 31:58 and I rinse them Tuesday morning, 32:01 I rinse them Tuesday evening, 32:03 I rinse them at Wednesday morning. 32:05 And sometime 32:07 during the rest of the day Wednesday, 32:08 I took that picture. 32:10 And you can see now 32:11 that the sprouts have grown all the way up to the top 32:14 of the two quart jar. 32:16 So this is just two days. 32:19 So again, you just soak them over, 32:20 you soak them for a few hours, 32:22 pour out the water, 32:23 and you rinse them twice a day, morning and evening. 32:26 And within 24 hours, 32:28 they're rapidly growing up and they're starting to sprout. 32:31 And by two days, 32:33 you have a full two quart jar full of sprouts 32:39 that are ready to eat. 32:40 Okay, so about just two days? 32:42 Yeah, two days. 32:43 So do you let them go any further than that? 32:45 Do they keep growing? 32:46 And do you or do you just, 32:47 is that the prime time to eat them therefore? 32:49 Well, yeah. It's really a preference thing. 32:52 Sometimes, you know, I grow them three days, 32:55 maybe four days. 32:56 Lentils grow very fast. 32:58 But I typically with my lentils, 33:01 I like two days, 33:03 and so I grow them about this big 33:04 and that's called, 33:05 they're not in the microgreens stage yet, 33:07 they're in the sprouting stage, 33:09 because they're just starting to grow 33:11 and after two days, those lentils are ready. 33:13 So you could take that jar, 33:15 you could pour the lentils into a bag, 33:18 and you can put it in your refrigerator, 33:20 or you can just stick the jar in your refrigerator, 33:23 and then you don't do any more rinsing. 33:25 And when it's time for lunch, you just take that jar, 33:27 take off the lid, 33:29 pour them into your salad 33:30 and whatever other things you add 33:32 into your salad 33:33 and you've got living food in your salad. 33:35 So you wouldn't, 33:36 you say you can eat these raw just like that 33:38 without even cooking them. 33:39 That's right. I never cook my sprouts. 33:41 Some people do, they cook the sprouts, 33:43 but I don't. 33:44 And with lentils, you know, lentils have a very mild taste. 33:51 It's kind of an earthy taste, but there's not a lot of, 33:54 a lot of flavor to lentils, 33:56 it's a little bit like some sprouts, 33:57 a lot of sprouts are a little bit like tofu 33:59 that depending upon how you season them, 34:02 that's the flavor that they take. 34:04 So now there's other sprouts like arugula. 34:07 I like to grow arugula into the microgreens stage 34:10 and I put those on my salad and they are spicy, 34:14 they've got kick, and I love them. 34:16 And then sunflower sprouts, 34:18 I grow those into the microgreens stage. 34:20 And those are just, 34:22 they're the king of microgreens. 34:24 They are delicious. 34:26 Yeah, lot of markets will or at least a lot, 34:29 there's some growers that grow sunflowers 34:31 and they send these to restaurants. 34:34 And, you know, it's just a delicacy 34:36 and they can charge a lot and my kids, 34:39 they will just pick, you know, 34:41 when I bring in a big tray of sunflower greens, greens, 34:44 my kids will just start picking 34:46 and sometimes you know I'll cut them up, 34:48 I'll put them in a little bowl for them. 34:50 Add a little bit of salt, 34:52 a little bit of nutritional yeast 34:54 mix it up and my kids just devour that. 34:57 And so sunflower greens that microgreen sprouts, 35:02 they taste really, they taste really good. 35:03 Arugulas got more of a kick, there's a wide variety, 35:07 clover is more mild, alfalfa, it has an alfalfa taste, 35:11 but a lot of them, 35:13 you know, it really depends upon how you season them. 35:15 And so with lentils, 35:18 you can grow lentils on a regular basis. 35:21 And what I do many times 35:23 is once I've got my jar of lentils 35:24 or my bag in my refrigerator, 35:28 I will when I have my granola in the morning, 35:30 or my oatmeal or a waffle, on go the lentils. 35:35 And then on top of the waffle, you know, with the lentils, 35:37 I've got some blueberries or some strawberries, 35:40 and lentils just make a really nice addition 35:43 to a pancake, to a waffle, to oatmeal, to granola. 35:49 And then when I have lunch, it goes in my salad, 35:52 you can put it on a sandwich, you can put it on a wrap. 35:55 And once you learn how to do it, it's really, 35:58 a child can grow lentils. 36:00 It's very easy, very accessible. 36:02 And if you do it on a regular basis, 36:04 and if you Google health benefits 36:06 of lentil sprouts. 36:08 I mean, you can do health benefits 36:09 about alfalfa sprout, 36:10 health benefits of broccoli sprouts 36:12 or clover sprouts. 36:13 You will find that the nutrients 36:16 that are in these sprouts are practically off the charts, 36:21 and they're very easy to grow, 36:24 very easy to consume on a regular basis. 36:27 And people just, you know, they don't know what to do. 36:29 I've heard people say, I'd like to sprout, 36:32 but I don't know where to start. 36:33 You know, it's kind of, it's daunting to them to think, 36:37 how do I do that? 36:38 And I have, as you know, I not only have a book on this, 36:43 but I actually have an entire course 36:45 where I teach people through video instruction, 36:48 exactly how to grow these seeds, 36:51 how to grow many different kinds of seeds, 36:53 and I demonstrate that right in front of them. 36:54 I'm going to tell, we're gonna come right back 36:56 to that in just a moment. 36:57 I have to ask this question, 36:58 because there's got to be someone right now watching this 37:00 that probably is thinking, 37:02 this just sounds real new agey, right? 37:04 It kind of sounds like something Mr. Gorks, 37:07 people of that type of culture or mentality might do is, 37:11 have you ever had somebody challenge you on that? 37:14 Talk a little bit about that? 37:15 Well, I know that a lot of people 37:17 that are into the New Age movement 37:18 and into the mystical movement 37:20 and into all kinds of things, many of them do sprout. 37:23 And there are a lot of raw restaurants 37:28 that are out there in certain cities. 37:30 I don't know if there's one in St. Louis, 37:31 it just depends on, 37:32 you know, I've gone, 37:34 I travel in and I'm in a lot of airports, 37:35 and some airports have good vegetarian options. 37:37 Some airports don't like Phoenix, 37:39 they hardly have any vegetarian food. 37:41 So depending upon the... 37:42 If you go to California, 37:44 you'll have lots of restaurants that serve sprouts. 37:46 So it depends on the area. 37:47 But there are many restaurants around the country 37:51 that have delicious raw food, 37:55 cuisine, and they have lots of sprouts. 37:58 And sometimes they also have books about meditation, 38:01 and mysticism and things that 38:03 that we would stay away from because it's not in the Bible. 38:07 But as far as sprouting itself, 38:10 meaning when you go back to Genesis, 38:13 the Bible says, God says to Adam and Eve, 38:16 I've given you every seed bearing, 38:20 you know, bearing fruit, and the vegetables. 38:24 So God originally gave us a diet from the soil, 38:29 and it was grown from seeds. 38:32 And so the idea of growing a sprout 38:35 is not a New Age concept. 38:38 It's any seed that anybody grows 38:41 in their garden, 38:42 they're sprouting, they either, 38:44 you know, get them started 38:45 before they put them in their garden, 38:47 or they plant the seeds in the garden. 38:49 So we all have been eating sprouted things 38:53 all of our lives. 38:55 But like I said, the benefit of doing it yourself, 38:58 is that it's inexpensive, it's easy. 39:01 And you're bypassing all of the chemicals 39:06 and the deficient soil etc. 39:10 So you're getting, 39:11 you're getting the most potent food 39:13 that you can eat. 39:14 And it's easy to do and like I said, 39:17 once you learn how to do it, I mean, it's kind of like a, 39:20 you know, when I was a teenager, 39:23 I got it, I was addicted to some things 39:25 that are not going to give those things up. 39:26 Sure. 39:28 But I've continued sprouting, 39:29 because I know 39:30 that sprouting is really good for my body. 39:32 And I've learned that and the evidence is there. 39:35 There's a website, 39:36 the International Sprout Growers Association, 39:40 and that website is loaded with scientific studies 39:46 on the health benefits of growing sprouts 39:48 and microgreens. 39:49 So this is not a New Age thing, it's like exercising, 39:51 you know, people get into yoga, and you know, 39:54 they discover many times that, 39:58 that while the exercises may be good, 40:00 the philosophy that's underneath there 40:02 isn't good. 40:03 And, of course, you can attach a philosophy 40:05 to just about anything. 40:07 But the very, just the simple process 40:09 of growing seeds and growing sprouts 40:11 and microgreens, 40:13 you know, there's nothing New Age about that. 40:15 It's biblical and it's healthy. 40:17 Absolutely. I have to admit something. 40:19 When I looked at the sheet 40:21 where they told us the topic 40:22 we were going to be talking about today, 40:24 I stopped in my mind, 40:26 and I thought to myself sprouts, really? 40:29 But after hearing you talk about this, 40:31 you've got me interested. 40:32 And I'm assuming there's someone 40:34 watching right now that wants to know 40:35 a little bit more about this. 40:37 And this kind of sets us up for you to be able to give us 40:39 a little bit more detail about your website 40:41 because if you want to learn more how to actually do this, 40:44 you teach us how to do that through your website. 40:47 So tell us a bit about that? 40:48 Yes, we have a course 40:49 and as I mentioned, that's why, you know, 40:51 that's why I walk people through the lentils, 40:53 those pictures, 40:55 so I could show people 40:56 that they can do this in their home, 40:58 and it's very easy to do. 41:00 Now, I have a friend of mine, partner, 41:03 who I work with at White Horse Media. 41:05 And because he knows all about 41:07 how much I've been sprouting, 41:10 we decided to put together, 41:12 to team up and put together an entire course. 41:16 So I'm the speaker and the demonstrator, 41:19 and he was the recorder. 41:21 Sometimes my kids recorded when he couldn't do it. 41:23 So my daughter or my son had the cell phone, 41:26 but we actually recorded an entire series, 41:31 where I show, I'm in my kitchen, 41:34 I've got all my different little... 41:36 I've got the jars, I've got the small trays, 41:38 the bigger trays, 41:39 the larger trays for the microgreens 41:41 and I demonstrate how to grow alfalfa. 41:46 We have first sections called the ABCs, 41:47 alfalfa, broccoli, clover. 41:49 And then we have lentils, mung and peas, the LMP's. 41:53 And we also have barley and rye. 41:55 And then we have sunflowers, and we have buckwheat groats, 41:59 and they watch me in my kitchen with my jars and my trays. 42:05 Morning, evening, morning, evening, morning, evening, 42:07 they see exactly what I do. 42:09 They see me pouring out the water, 42:11 pouring in the water, 42:12 and they see the seeds growing 42:15 and then they see us with our scissors, 42:18 snipping them off, putting them in the salad, 42:21 we mix in the avocado, 42:23 and squeeze in the lemon 42:24 and put some nutritional yeast on there. 42:27 And they see the whole, the whole thing. 42:29 So they learn how to do this. 42:32 And in this course, which we've called, 42:35 it's called sprouting with Steve, 42:37 it's basically divided into three major sections, 42:40 where I teach people how to grow simple sprouts, 42:43 lots of different sprouts in different ways. 42:47 So people can choose. 42:48 I like the jar, I like the little tray. 42:50 I like this one, I like that seed. 42:52 And we also tell people where to get all their seeds 42:55 and all their supplies in one place. 42:57 And so we go through the sprouting section. 43:00 And then the next section 43:01 is simple microgreens where I show them how, 43:05 people how to grow them bigger. 43:08 And that's in soil 43:10 with just regular potting soils. 43:11 We have simple microgreens and I teach about buckwheat, 43:15 great big buckwheat trays, 43:17 and sunflower greens and wheatgrass and peas. 43:21 Oh, peas are great sprouts to grow 43:23 into a microgreen stage. 43:24 And then we have one, 43:26 a third section which is on how to grow 43:29 simple microgreens without any dirt. 43:32 So there's no potting soil or dirt from your garden. 43:36 You're just using just your seeds and water. 43:40 And so I demonstrate that and they watch them grow, 43:44 they watch the kohlrabi grow. 43:46 And these different seeds, 43:47 mustard greens and they just grow right there. 43:50 And they see all that. 43:52 So the course walks people through, 43:54 it's like a, 43:55 it's a master course on teaching people 43:58 exactly what to do. 43:59 We have a motto. 44:01 And the motto is you can do it. 44:03 So as I'm demonstrating this, 44:04 I'm looking at the camera 44:05 and I'm saying now you can do what I'm doing. 44:08 You know where to get these seeds now 44:10 because we tell them 44:11 where to get them all from one place. 44:13 And we show them the different options, 44:15 the different kinds of jars and trays, 44:17 we show them how to soak them, how to drain them, 44:19 how to rinse them, they watch them grow. 44:21 So it's very, it's very practical. 44:24 I mean, as you know, from reading my books, 44:25 one of the gifts that God has given me 44:27 is an ability to teach. 44:29 I'm a teacher. 44:31 I make things simple. Absolutely. 44:32 And I do the same thing in the sprouting course. 44:35 Now, of course, people can, 44:36 you know, they can do their own research, 44:38 they can read books, they can go on YouTube, 44:39 they can watch 44:41 a whole bunch of different videos, 44:42 which often go in many different directions. 44:44 And that everybody is of course free to do that. 44:46 But if they want to be spoon-fed 44:48 and learn exactly how to do it and go to one place, 44:51 one place in a simple way. 44:54 That's what Sprouting with Steve 44:55 is all about. 44:57 I pulled it up right here. 44:58 You could probably see it on my iPad, 45:00 SproutingWithSteve.com. 45:02 I've already went there on my iPad. 45:04 You can go there as well, SproutingWithSteve.com. 45:07 I think we even had a little picture 45:09 with the website 45:10 and it kind of shows again for those who might have 45:11 just tuned in. 45:13 There we go. 45:14 There's Pastor Steve Wohlberg with all of his sprouts. 45:16 Yes. 45:17 And those are actually from the course. 45:19 Those pictures were taken. 45:20 You can see 45:21 on the upper right hand corner there, 45:23 you can see me with the big tray 45:25 and that's buckwheat lettuce. 45:27 Buckwheat lettuce is fabulous. 45:28 And below that is purple Rambo radish. 45:31 And then on the left side are, those are sunflower greens. 45:35 And right in the middle there, there's that there's mung, 45:38 and on top, with me pointing my finger over there. 45:42 Those are pea sprouts. 45:43 And those are all those pictures 45:45 are from are actually pea microgreens. 45:47 It almost looks like wheatgrass. 45:49 No, those are peas. 45:51 The wheatgrass are somewhere else. 45:53 That wheatgrass are over where I've got my thumbs up 45:55 over there in the right hand corner, 45:57 the wheatgrass are there over on the side. 45:59 That's wheatgrass. 46:01 And so, and down below that 46:02 is a big tray of sunflower greens, 46:05 where Abby's hands that are taking bite. 46:09 That's Abby, my 12-year-old, Seth our 16-year-old, 46:12 and they're right there ready to start eating. 46:14 And so, and all those pictures are taken from the course. 46:19 So I'm showing people how to grow those things 46:22 and then we just took a collage of those pictures 46:26 and put them into that. 46:27 That's amazing. 46:28 So obviously, the course goes into great detail 46:31 on a variety of different seeds that you can sprout. 46:36 But I just have to ask you some, 46:38 maybe somebody else is wondering this. 46:40 If you just had two or three go to sprouts that if you just, 46:43 your go to, 46:44 if that's something that you could just use 46:46 on a daily basis, 46:47 two or three, what are your favorites? 46:48 Well, the simplest ones to grow, 46:50 very simple are those lentils. 46:52 And also mung, 46:54 it's hard to go wrong with mung. 46:56 Now mung normally need to get 46:57 probably not at a market but at a health food store. 47:00 Some like not far from where I live, 47:03 there's a pilgrims market and they've got bulk bins, 47:06 and you can buy plenty of mung seeds 47:09 and they're not, they're not expensive. 47:12 And they're super simple to grow in a jar. 47:16 There's other ways to grow them. 47:17 But so I would say, 47:19 you know, the simplest are lentils, mung. 47:22 Another very simple one is sunflower seeds raw, 47:25 and that's raw sunflower seeds. 47:27 You can soak your raw sunflower seeds in a jar, 47:30 like they saw with the lentils, you soak them, 47:32 I typically soak them overnight. 47:34 And then I drain out the water, and I tilt the jar, 47:37 and then in the evening, I give them another rinse, 47:40 drain out the water, tilt the jar. 47:42 And within two days, you'll have nice size, 47:47 raw sunflower seeds that are sprouting this 47:50 and these are not with the shells. 47:51 When you grow them 47:53 into the bigger microgreen stage, 47:55 you want to have them with the shell. 47:56 And I teach people how to do that. 47:58 But for just with the jar, raw, 48:02 organic sunflower seeds without a shell, 48:06 you can grow those very easily. 48:08 And those are great in your oatmeal, 48:10 your granola, on top of your waffles 48:12 in your salads, and they taste, 48:14 they taste like sunflower seeds. 48:16 They're nutty, 48:17 and yet when they're growing into the sprouting stage, 48:20 like I said, the vitamin E content 48:22 has just multiplying in sunflower. 48:25 Lot of vitamin E. 48:27 And you do research, you know, 48:28 on what does vitamin E do to the body? 48:30 What does vitamin B complex do for the body? 48:32 What does vitamin C do for the body? 48:34 What does vitamin A 48:36 and all these different vitamins 48:37 and then you look at how many of these vitamins 48:40 are in sprouted seeds and microgreens, 48:43 then you realize, you know, wow, 48:45 this is really beneficial to the body. 48:48 I mean, I've had lots of people say to me, and I thank God, 48:51 I know that, you know, anything can happen to anybody. 48:53 I'm thankful that I'm still alive at 61. 48:56 But at 61, I feel like 48:57 you know, I'm doing pretty good. 48:59 You know, I feel like I can still go jogging 49:01 and walking for four miles 49:03 and I, you know, I'm happy. 49:05 I'm blessed. I've been through a lot. 49:07 God has brought me through many dark days. 49:10 He's given me the strength to go through these things. 49:12 And I think that sprouting has been a big part 49:14 of my health that I have. 49:17 So your favorite out of all of them. 49:19 What is that? Which one? 49:20 My favorite? Your favorite. 49:21 I think my favorite would be probably sunflowers 49:24 grown into the microgreen stage 49:26 and buckwheat and also I really like arugula. 49:31 Yeah, when I did my course, 49:33 this company that we work with is called True Leaf 49:36 Market where we get all our seeds. 49:37 They sent me a bunch of seeds and different supplies 49:40 to demonstrate because they know that, 49:42 you know, we're doing this 49:44 and we're directing people to their company, 49:46 so they were happy to send me a whole bunch of free supplies. 49:49 Now when I started sprouting arugula. 49:52 Oh, I just, I mean, I like arugula in my garden. 49:55 And then the benefit of growing sprouts 49:57 is you don't have to, 49:58 you don't have to deal with the weeds in your garden, 50:02 we have to get out there and weed. 50:03 I mean, there's no weeds 50:05 growing in a little tray of arugula, 50:08 and you can grow them without any dirt. 50:11 And within just, you know, a very short time, 50:16 you're putting them in your salad. 50:17 That is awesome. 50:18 So just take about a minute or so 50:20 because we're getting down to almost the end of our time. 50:22 But somebody might be asking, 50:24 what's the best time of year to grow sprouts? 50:27 Is there a particular time of year or... 50:29 Sure, you can grow any time of year 50:31 as long as you're not growing them in. 50:33 With microgreens, 50:34 you don't want your temperature in your room to be too hot. 50:38 You want to keep it on the cooler side 70 degrees, 50:40 because they could, you know, 50:42 they're more susceptible to mold. 50:44 For me personally, I am in my garden 50:46 during the spring in the summer. 50:48 But once it gets colder 50:49 and the snow starts coming down, 50:51 and I can't grow anything in my garden, 50:53 I shift gears to sprouts and I grow all winter, 50:58 all kinds of different sprouts, 50:59 so I can have fresh veggies in the middle of the winter. 51:02 But you can do at any time of year. 51:04 And in my course I explain all this 51:07 and say to people what to do. 51:08 Absolutely. 51:09 And that's actually what we're going to do. 51:11 Now we're not quite finished yet, 51:12 we just have a little 51:13 over a couple of minutes yet left. 51:15 But again, Sprout Power, 51:16 the little booklet you can get from White Horse Media. 51:19 And we're going to put up in just a moment, 51:22 we're going to bring up here exactly 51:24 how you can contact White Horse Media, 51:26 how you can get a copy of Pastor Wohlberg's books, 51:30 his new book called climate change 51:32 again on Armageddon, 51:33 and also everything you've been hearing 51:34 about sprouting, Sprout Power, 51:36 the new little booklet 51:38 as well as how to get in contact 51:40 with this new course on his website. 51:42 We're going to go to that right now. 51:44 So again, get out your notepad, get out your pens, here it is. 51:50 For more information about White Horse Media, 51:52 please contact them at WhiteHorseMedia.com. 51:56 That's WhiteHorseMedia.com or SproutingWithSteve.com. 52:01 Their number is 1800-782-4253. 52:06 That's 1800-782-4253. 52:10 Their mailing address is PO Box 130, 52:13 Priest River, Idaho 83856. 52:18 That's PO Box 130, Priest River, Idaho, 83856. |
