05:46 You know, growing up, 05:48 I was blessed to have a Christian home. 05:49 I was blessed to be in a, you could say, a normal family, 05:53 you know, both my parents were there, 05:55 and we had rules and bedtimes and all that good stuff 05:58 that you don't like when you're young, 06:00 but you appreciate when you're older. 06:01 Yeah, it's structure. 06:02 Yeah. 06:04 And I'm grateful for that. 06:05 You know, of course, just like anybody wasn't perfect, 06:07 but I'm grateful that I had a good solid, 06:09 you know, basis. 06:10 I did have a chance to go to private schools, 06:13 and I was exposed to the Bible, 06:14 I was exposed to the gospel early. 06:17 And that was very important because as I grew older, 06:20 as I turned 18-19 years old, 06:23 I was really, I looked around, and I realized, 06:26 I can be any man that I want to be, 06:28 I can live any life that I want. 06:30 And I was seeing all the temptations of the world, 06:33 and I had to ask myself, 06:35 "Do I really believe in God, 06:37 because if God is not real, 06:40 I'm going to miss out 06:41 on all these pleasures of the world." 06:44 And so it was really a fork in the road for me. 06:46 And it was at that point that I had to make a decision, 06:49 do I believe in God? 06:50 You know, what kind of man am I going to be? 06:53 And so I prayed about things, 06:55 I talked to people that I loved and trusted 06:57 and kind of got their feedback. 07:02 And I came to the conclusion, 07:03 I didn't have all my questions answered. 07:05 But I came to the conclusion 07:06 that the evidence for God in the Bible 07:10 was overwhelming. 07:11 I wasn't maybe, like I said, 07:13 had everything that I needed to know. 07:15 But it was enough for me to make a decision 07:18 that I thought it would be foolish 07:20 to live a life apart from God. 07:22 I felt it would be foolish, 07:24 it would be gambling with my eternity, 07:26 which would be especially foolish 07:28 because the evidence shows 07:30 that the Bible and God are real. 07:32 And so I made a decision to live for God. 07:34 And soon after that, God led me in the path 07:37 of a young lady in one of my classes 07:40 at a college I was attending. 07:42 And we would chat after class, 07:44 we would walk in the hall and talk. 07:46 And one day she told me, 07:48 I was asking her what she was doing 07:49 over the weekend, 07:50 and she said she was going to church 07:52 on Saturday. 07:54 And when she said that, I immediately said, 07:56 why Saturday, you know, that's the wrong day. 07:59 You know, we go to church on Sunday. 08:01 And she said, she explained to me a little bit, 08:03 and she said, "Well, 08:04 that is the fourth commandment." 08:07 And as soon as she said that, 08:09 a light bulb went off in my mind 08:11 that I had to either prove her wrong, 08:13 or I had to study it out 08:15 and start doing what she was doing. 08:18 And so I started to study, 08:19 I started to attend church with her, 08:21 she would translate, 08:23 started doing Bible studies with an elder, 08:25 because this was a Spanish Church 08:27 that I originally went to. 08:29 And soon I started to see 08:31 that it was not only the Sabbath 08:33 was part of God's message, 08:35 but I started to see a full system of truth 08:39 that was perfectly harmonious and united. 08:42 And it was almost as if all the truths 08:44 that I had grown up with in the church 08:46 as I was younger were being sewn together 08:49 with like a golden thread of truth. 08:51 And I started to see this full system, 08:54 and I was just in love. 08:56 I said, "This is what I have to spend my life doing." 08:59 Yeah. 09:00 "I have to share this message." 09:02 Yes. 09:03 And not everyone is called to be full time ministry. 09:05 But everyone is called to be in the ministry 09:07 of in some way or the other. 09:09 Amen. Unpack that a little bit? 09:11 Well, you know, whether someone is a doctor or a teacher 09:15 or you know, gas station attendant, 09:17 whatever they are, 09:18 God has put them there to be a missionary. 09:22 Yes, they're to work hard, they're to collect a paycheck, 09:24 you know, God helps with that as well. 09:26 But they're there to be a missionary. 09:28 They're there to share God's truth 09:30 with a smile, with a prayer, 09:32 with giving literature as God opens the door. 09:36 And so we're all called to be in that role. 09:39 But for me, I really felt 09:42 there was nothing else 09:44 that I could really be fulfilled in my life 09:46 without sharing this message full time. 09:48 And so that was a while ago. 09:50 And even though I felt that calling, 09:53 I didn't know exactly 09:55 how God wanted me to use that urgency 09:58 to share His message. 09:59 Yes. 10:01 I was still young, 10:02 I was fairly immature in my faith. 10:03 And I did some Bible work. 10:05 I did some canvassing, 10:07 but I realized I need to make money 10:09 because I had a lot of debt from college. 10:12 I was actually, I have my degree in teaching. 10:14 Okay. 10:15 And so I decided I'll use this degree, 10:17 you know, I have it, 10:19 I might as well use this degree, 10:20 I can do ministry work on the side, 10:22 I can get out of debt, 10:24 I can allow myself to get more mature 10:27 as God works with me. 10:29 And sure enough, after, 10:31 I think it was about five years ago, 10:33 I was able to get out of debt completely. 10:34 Wow, praise God. 10:36 Yes. 10:37 And I looked at that as really a green light 10:39 of God's saying, "Okay, now's the time." 10:41 And so that's a little bit about my background, 10:43 and then after that I started this ministry, 10:45 I can share that as well. 10:47 Yeah. 10:48 You know, one of the things 10:50 that I really like about your testimony, your journey, 10:51 is that there was constant growth. 10:53 You're constantly leveling up spiritually. 10:56 Yeah. 10:57 And, you know, it's interesting that the fourth commandment, 11:01 the one that begins with remember 11:03 is the one that is most often left out. 11:06 Absolutely, yeah. 11:07 And I'm glad you said that, 11:08 because I would encourage people, 11:10 you know, a lot of people want to start 11:11 this big ministry right away. 11:13 And those are good ambitions, 11:16 but it's important to take the little opportunities 11:19 that God gives you now. 11:21 As I was a school teacher, I would do preaching, 11:24 I would do crusades, 11:26 and just whenever I had the opportunity 11:28 to do something, I would try to, 11:30 you know, take advantage of that, 11:32 and kind of build-up that ability 11:34 that God had given me. 11:36 And sometimes it's humbling, 11:37 because I would teach in the inner city, 11:40 and I would just kind of laugh and laugh to myself sometimes 11:44 because I would be preaching on Saturday 11:47 in front of distinguished people like 11:48 these are people that are professionals 11:50 and make a lot of money, 11:52 and they be listening to my every word. 11:54 They'd be like, "Wow, this is God's Word, 11:56 as we should do to any preacher, 11:57 we should be listening." 11:59 And then I go to school and teach, 12:00 and the kids won't close their mouth. 12:03 And it's like, you know, it's humbling, 12:05 and it's a reminder, 12:07 you know, that you're just another human being, 12:09 you know, and God wants to use you, 12:11 praise the Lord. 12:12 But it's not about us, it's about the message. 12:14 Amen. Amen. 12:16 And there's something special about the message. 12:18 Amen. 12:19 Yes. Absolutely. 12:21 So why prophecy? 12:23 What made you decide to go in that direction? 12:26 Yeah, you know, Jason, I really believe as a church, 12:30 that is our mission to share the three angels' message. 12:33 Amen. 12:34 Now that does, that's not all the only beast 12:37 and you know, the scary stuff. 12:40 The three angels' message includes the gospel, 12:42 includes the love of Jesus. 12:44 And so prophecy is something 12:46 that our church has been given to share with the world. 12:51 You can go to any church on the street corner, 12:53 and hear about the love of Jesus, 12:55 and the plan of salvation, 12:56 and praise the Lord, we need that, 12:58 and our church shares that as well. 13:01 That's really the central part of our message. 13:03 But we have been given something truly unique 13:06 in the three angels' message, the prophecies of Daniel, 13:08 the prophecies of Revelation. 13:11 And so that was the message that got my attention, 13:14 that drew me closer to Jesus, 13:16 and showed me His, 13:18 show me the last scenes of earth's history, 13:22 and how I need to prepare. 13:24 And so I have an urgency 13:25 to share those messages with others. 13:28 Amen. Amen. 13:30 So what impressed you to become a YouTube evangelist? 13:34 'Cause there's, 13:35 there are many different directions 13:36 you can go in ministry, 13:38 but what impressed you 13:39 to take the route of becoming a YouTube evangelist? 13:42 Yeah, that's a really good question. 13:43 I didn't expect that that would be the case. 13:46 You know, going back to what, at the beginning of the story, 13:48 when I felt called to be a witness for God, 13:52 a missionary or whatever. 13:54 I thought that could be an evangelist, 13:56 I thought that could be a pastor. 13:58 I didn't know what it would be. 14:00 But you know, I met an individual 14:02 who has a media ministry that has a YouTube channel, 14:06 and he told me, he said, "This is a great opportunity." 14:10 And as I looked at his channel, 14:11 I was seeing millions of views. 14:14 And I thought to myself, there's something here. 14:17 There's something here. 14:19 This is where the people are. 14:20 Yes. 14:21 And this is an opportunity 14:23 that I can essentially have my own television station 14:26 overnight. 14:27 Like I can upload video one, 14:29 and I'm up and running from my bedroom, 14:31 or from whatever little room I have 14:33 with this little cheap camera. 14:34 I'm up and running. 14:36 You know, you guys have a beautiful studio here 14:38 and praise the Lord. 14:40 But YouTube, you can start in your bedroom. 14:42 Yes. 14:43 You can start with your cell phone. 14:44 And that message could potentially have 14:46 just as much or more reach as a lot of fancy equipment. 14:50 Very true. 14:51 Very true. 14:53 And, what challenges did you face 14:55 in setting all of this up? 14:57 Yeah. 14:58 Well, I'm not an AV kind of guy. 15:01 Like before I started the channel, 15:02 I never did any kind of filming or video editing. 15:06 And, in fact, I worked with a gentleman here 15:09 named Ricky Carter, great guy, great video editor. 15:12 He did my first two videos for me, 15:14 where I would choose the graphics 15:17 and choose the music, 15:18 and I would tell Ricky where I wanted them 15:19 and he would put him in. 15:21 And Ricky is a professional, he's a great guy. 15:23 But after that, I realized, 15:25 I'm going to drive my video editor crazy, 15:28 because I'm so picky. 15:30 And there's such a certain way that I want it, 15:31 I could keep going back and making revisions 15:33 or I can learn how to do it myself. 15:35 Yes. 15:36 So Ricky helped me learn how to edit. 15:38 Nice. 15:39 But that was one of the challenges 15:40 is just really learning the ropes 15:42 of how to do filming and editing, 15:44 and I'm still learning. 15:45 And so there was a lot of wasted hours just, 15:48 I was missing like a single cable, 15:51 and you know, this won't turn on 15:53 and just that frustrating stuff. 15:54 Yes, it's a huge learning curve. 15:56 It is. 15:58 It is. 15:59 But, you know, God is blessed. 16:01 You just got to keep moving forward. 16:02 Amen. 16:03 Why the name Hope Through Prophecy? 16:05 Yeah. 16:06 You know, Jason, I wanted people to know 16:08 that there is hope through prophecy, 16:10 because so many times we look at prophecy 16:13 as doom and gloom, 16:14 or, you know, get right or else, 16:17 and there is a sense of urgency to it, 16:20 I don't want to take that away and say 16:21 it's all you know, roses. 16:24 Some of it is at times scary. 16:26 Some of it is very urgent. 16:28 But I wanted people to see that there is hope, 16:30 and Jesus is that hope through prophecy. 16:32 He is at the center of prophecy. 16:35 And as we present prophecy, 16:36 it should be yes in a clear direct way, 16:40 but in a hopeful way, 16:41 because you don't want to just knock people down. 16:43 We want to show them how they can be lifted up. 16:45 Amen. 16:47 And so I wanted to include both of those key words 16:49 in the name of the ministry. 16:51 And, you know, it needs to be a love story. 16:54 And so, I love how you said that 16:56 Jesus is the central focus, 16:58 because sometimes you hear, 17:00 you know, just about the beasts and all of this stuff, 17:02 and it scares people to death Yeah. 17:04 And then they're no closer to Christ 17:07 as a result of it. 17:08 Absolutely. 17:09 So I love that, the central focus is Jesus. 17:12 Amen. 17:13 You know, there's one other challenge 17:14 I was going to mention, 17:16 because I think this might be relevant 17:17 to other people as well. 17:18 But when I was starting the ministry, 17:20 I had some detractors, 17:22 even people from within our own church. 17:24 And they would say things like, 17:27 "Why do you want to preach about prophecy? 17:28 Why do you want to do this? 17:30 Amazing facts is doing it, or this, 17:32 this people are doing, or this person is doing it." 17:34 And praise the Lord. 17:36 But I think we need to have as many people as possible 17:39 sharing this message, 17:41 because all of us are going to have 17:42 our unique style 17:44 and our unique way of reaching people. 17:45 Absolutely. 17:47 And so, this is the message that God has given us. 17:49 Yes. 17:51 And I would just encourage people, 17:52 if anyone is saying, 17:54 "You need to have some, 17:55 you know, very specific little niche, 17:56 because someone's already preaching 17:58 three angels' message." 17:59 If you feel called to preaching, 18:01 go forward with full strength, with full power. 18:04 Absolutely, yeah, 18:05 because everybody has a different influence... 18:08 That's right. 18:09 And can help a different set of people. 18:11 Amen. 18:13 And that's, that's powerful. 18:14 So who are your videos for? 18:16 What's your target demographic? 18:18 Yeah, you know, a lot of times I think 18:21 we have a certain calling to reach people like us. 18:26 And I was a Christian 18:28 that was in the mainstream Protestant churches. 18:31 And I was sincere, you know, I wanted to follow God, 18:35 I wanted to follow the Bible, 18:37 but I didn't have all the facts. 18:38 I didn't know about the Sabbath. 18:40 I didn't know about the judgment. 18:41 And I don't hold anything against 18:44 those churches or those people, 18:45 because they could be following 18:47 all the light that they knew. 18:48 Yes. 18:49 But God is calling us to know more. 18:51 He is calling us to know these testing truths 18:54 for these last days. 18:56 And so my target audience, 18:58 I think, is really people like I was. 19:01 People like me. 19:02 You know, people who are in churches 19:03 that are sincere, 19:05 but they need to be awakened 19:07 to the truth of the Sabbath and the three angels' message 19:09 and the judgment and the mark of the beast. 19:12 So that's a major part of my target audience. 19:15 I have noticed that a lot of Adventists 19:17 have been blessed by the videos. 19:20 And I think a lot of people in our church, 19:23 they may not know these messages, 19:25 you know, they may have grown up in these churches, 19:27 but they may not have heard sermons 19:29 about the judgment and the Antichrist. 19:31 Yes. 19:32 At least from what I'm hearing from people, 19:33 it seems that for many of them, they're learning. 19:37 And also a lot of kids, 19:39 I've heard a lot of kids have been blessed, 19:41 younger, you know, children 19:43 have been blessed by the videos. 19:45 Praise the Lord for that. 19:46 How do you come up with the concepts 19:48 for the videos? 19:50 You know, my vision, Jason, when I started this channel, 19:55 was to basically follow the order 19:58 of a traditional evangelistic crusade, 20:01 because I could see the symmetry, 20:06 the logic of presenting our messages 20:09 in the three angels order, 20:12 to start with things like the authority of the Bible, 20:14 salvation through faith alone, the importance of God's law, 20:19 the fall of Lucifer, 20:21 and the great controversy between good and evil, 20:23 and progressing gradually, 20:26 and you know, talking about the second coming, 20:28 and the state of the dead, and health, 20:30 and then moving on to things like the Antichrist 20:32 and the mark of the beast. 20:33 Yes. 20:35 I could see the logic in that order. 20:36 And so really, starting on my channel, 20:39 it was a very simple process, 20:41 because I thought to myself, 20:42 "I'm going to follow that order. 20:43 I'm going to do these 23 or 24, messages, 20:47 boom, boom, boom, right after another." 20:49 And so as soon as I finished a video, 20:51 I knew what I was doing next. 20:53 And so that was really kind of 20:54 what led me to create that order. 20:56 Now, I'm kind of revisiting a lot of those topics 21:00 and maybe going into more depth on them. 21:02 Okay. 21:04 And also doing a lot of more practical lessons, like 21:07 the last video I did was three things 21:10 every Christian must do. 21:11 Prayer. 21:13 Yeah. 21:14 And then there was one that was witness. 21:15 Yeah. 21:17 Witnessing, and the third one escapes me right now. 21:20 Okay, Bible study. 21:21 Bible study. Yeah. 21:22 How could that one escape me? 21:24 Bible study, yes, yes. 21:25 That's a spoiler for people that haven't seen it, but yeah, 21:27 the video will go into more depth about 21:29 how to make those things practical. 21:30 Absolutely. 21:31 Yeah, that was an excellent video. 21:33 Praise God. 21:34 And you have quite a few videos 21:36 on there with quite a few views and subscribers. 21:39 God has really been blessing. 21:40 Amen. 21:41 Amen. Yeah. 21:43 I've noticed that some of the videos 21:45 that deal with prophecy specifically, 21:47 you know I was on here with my friend Wesley, 21:50 and we're doing a project called Final Days. 21:53 And that video, 21:54 essentially has three different videos combined, 21:57 the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast 21:58 and the USA in Prophecy. 22:01 Those videos by themselves, 22:03 the Antichrist, I think has about 1.4 million views, 22:07 and the Mark of the Beast has 1.2 million. 22:10 And, Jason, these are videos that don't pull any punches, 22:13 they get right to the truth. 22:15 And I just praise the Lord 22:16 that these videos have been able to have the reach, 22:20 and I believe God has protected them. 22:22 Yes. 22:24 And then the Final Days video combines that 22:25 with the USA in Prophecy. 22:27 And so I feel that people are hungry 22:30 for these messages. 22:31 They're hungry to know 22:33 what will happen in the final days. 22:35 And we as a church, it's our role to tell people. 22:37 Yes. 22:39 As you look at the world today, 22:41 you know, is that a form of structuring 22:45 your messages as well, like do you structure? 22:47 Do you take a look at the world around you and say, 22:50 "This is a great need at this time," 22:52 and create videos based on that? 22:55 Yes, I would say I factor that in. 22:57 But I would also say 22:59 that these messages are timeless. 23:01 Yes. 23:03 You know, whether I preach these in 1980, 1990, 2020, 23:08 they're going to scratch an itch. 23:09 Yes. They're going to reach people's need. 23:12 But certainly, 23:13 you know, I can kind of modify them to meet 23:16 what's happening in the world today. 23:17 Yes. Yeah. 23:19 What are your goals? 23:21 And I guess, and the purpose of your content? 23:26 You know, a couple goals we have, number one, 23:29 we want to, you know, Matthew 24. 23:32 It says, "And this gospel 23:34 shall be preached in all the world 23:36 as a witness to all nations, 23:38 and then the end shall come." 23:40 I believe, I look at Hope Through Prophecy 23:42 is one of the vehicles for that happening. 23:45 And so by God's grace, I want to be a vehicle 23:48 that we can transport that message to the world, 23:51 so that everybody can know the truth, 23:53 and they can be educated 23:54 on which decision they will make. 23:55 Yes. 23:57 But we want to go past that. 23:58 We don't want to just reveal the truth to people. 24:01 I have a very similar message as you guys, 24:04 is I want to bring people from broadcast to baptism. 24:07 And so we have workers that are actually 24:11 following up with people's comments, 24:12 with people's emails, 24:14 Wesley and his team are helping with that as well 24:16 in the Final Days front, 24:18 but we actually are connecting people 24:20 with churches across the globe. 24:22 Wow. 24:23 And so, there's the X part of me. 24:27 There's the aspect of revealing the truth, 24:29 but then there's also giving that opportunity for people 24:32 that are ready to take the next step 24:34 to kind of bring them there. 24:36 Yes. 24:37 I'd love to get a million subscribers. 24:39 Right now we're at about 348,000. 24:43 We have more people joining our team. 24:45 So that will help me to put out more content. 24:47 And so God has blessed tremendously, 24:50 and I hope that that we can achieve 24:52 that goal as well. 24:53 Amen. 24:55 We just want to keep, 24:56 part of me keep scaling what we're doing, 24:59 and just keep moving forward full force. 25:01 Yes, absolutely. 25:02 You know, and I hope that, 25:04 you know, a lot of people will subscribe, 25:06 after watching this will subscribe 25:08 and take advantage of these wonderful videos 25:10 that you have and be drawn closer to Christ 25:13 and hopefully share them with others. 25:15 Amen. 25:16 They're not just meant for their consumption alone, 25:18 but to share them for digital evangelism. 25:21 Amen. Amen. 25:22 I actually created some business cards. 25:24 I don't have one on me. 25:25 But there are several people who have requested those, 25:28 and I'll just ship them a big box 25:29 of business cards. 25:31 And it's so easy to pass these out. 25:33 Because sometimes with books, people will often be like, 25:36 "Oh, what's that on? 25:37 No, thanks." 25:38 But if you ask people, "Do you watch YouTube?" 25:40 Ninety nine percent of the time they'll say, yeah. 25:43 "Check out my YouTube channel." 25:44 "Okay. Sure." 25:45 You know, rarely ever, someone will turn that down. 25:48 Yes. 25:49 And they're small, 25:51 you can keep them in your pocket 25:52 as you're shopping or at the gas station. 25:54 They're so easy to pass those out. 25:56 Absolutely. 25:57 Now, you mentioned briefly a team. 26:00 It takes a lot of people to get this stuff going. 26:03 Yeah. 26:04 Tell us a little bit more about your team 26:06 and what else involved? 26:08 Yeah. 26:09 For the most part, you know, I started this ministry myself, 26:12 you know, creating the scripts and creating the videos, 26:15 and occasionally working with an editor, 26:18 but I've done most of the editing myself. 26:20 But we've had some invaluable people 26:23 that we would not exist without them. 26:26 I don't know if they want me to tell their names here, 26:29 but I'll just describe who they are. 26:31 There we go. 26:33 We have a wonderful treasurer, who does a phenomenal job. 26:36 We have some Digital Bible workers, 26:38 specifically a young lady that follows up with emails. 26:42 Recently, I've started to work with a video editor. 26:44 Okay. 26:45 And I have another guy who's kind of like an AV guy, 26:48 he helps with the website. 26:49 A lot of these people are new to the team, 26:51 you know, we're just kind of starting to expand now. 26:54 And by God's grace, you know, as He leads, 26:57 we're looking into getting some land, 26:59 building a media studio. 27:01 For the most part, I've done this out of my bedroom, 27:04 to be honest. 27:05 Yes. 27:06 And you may not be able to tell looking at the video. 27:08 No, you can't. 27:09 'Cause I kind of hide it, kind of tuck it away there 27:11 and try to have good lights and everything. 27:12 But, you know, it doesn't take a whole lot to produce these. 27:16 But we do want to expand 27:17 so we can put out more and more content. 27:19 Absolutely. No, that's incredible. 27:21 I mean, I've watched some of the videos, 27:23 and I would have never guessed 27:25 that you did it out of your bedroom. 27:27 Yes, yes. 27:28 And it definitely takes a team. 27:30 You mentioned your website. 27:32 What is your website? 27:33 Yeah, it's hopethroughprophecy.org 27:35 Okay. 27:37 Yeah. 27:38 And that's a place where people can go and, 27:40 you know, kind of just see, 27:41 get links to the YouTube channel. 27:43 They can donate there, 27:44 if they want to support our ministry. 27:46 And, yeah, it's just kind of a hub 27:48 where they can see different things. 27:50 But the main place with all the content 27:53 is Hope Through Prophecy on YouTube. 27:54 Got you. 27:56 And so if you just go to YouTube, 27:57 and type in Hope Through Prophecy, 27:59 that's where you'll see our, all our videos. 28:01 Nice. 28:03 We actually have some little samples. 28:06 Why don't you tell us what we have, 28:08 and we'll go to one of those. 28:10 Yeah. 28:11 Well, the first video that I want to show is actually 28:14 the opening for the video 28:16 that I've worked with Wesley on, 28:18 and that's the Final Days video. 28:20 And this is just kind of an opening scene 28:23 and it shows hopefully, 28:25 the mentality I have on my channel, 28:27 and that's one of invitation. 28:29 Nice. 28:30 You know, we want people to be a part 28:32 of God's last day movement. 28:33 And so that's what this clip is about. 28:35 Wonderful. 28:37 Let's take a look at that right now. 28:40 Hi, this is Dustin Pestlin with Hope Through Prophecy. 28:43 This video you're about to watch 28:45 will reveal Satan's battle plans, 28:48 his end game for the final days. 28:50 You will learn about the Antichrist, 28:52 the Mark of the Beast, 28:54 and the role of the United States 28:56 in Bible prophecy. 28:58 This video contains the most solemn truths 29:01 ever entrusted to mortal minds. 29:03 I ask that you pray before watching, 29:06 and please share this video far and wide, 29:08 so that this truth can reach the world. 29:12 May the Lord guide you and bless you on your journey. 29:17 Amen, I love the invitation. 29:19 I love that. 29:21 That was done in your bedroom. That one? 29:22 That one was, 29:24 I think that was downstairs in another room. 29:26 Okay, I was going to say that is incredible. 29:29 But most of... 29:30 Yeah, most everything that the other scenes 29:32 that you'll see were in the bedroom and yeah, 29:35 so that's really the mentality that I want to have 29:38 is I want people to know that, 29:40 you know, I want to be sensitive as well. 29:42 Because the background I have, 29:44 I know how startling it is to hear about the Sabbath, 29:48 to hear about the state of the dead. 29:50 I can relate to kind of some of the stress 29:53 that comes on when you hear these things like, 29:55 "Man I've been lied to, 29:56 or I've been deceived, or I haven't, 29:58 I didn't know these things." 29:59 Yes. 30:01 And so I think it's important when I present these things. 30:02 Yes, be clear. 30:04 You know, don't be bashful, but also be tactful, 30:08 and give the viewer the benefit of the doubt 30:11 that they will follow the truth when they hear it. 30:14 Rather than you're doing it wrong, 30:15 you're lost. 30:17 No, they want to know the truth. 30:18 Yes. 30:20 So that's kind of the approach that I try to take. 30:22 Yeah, you're coming from a place of love. 30:24 Yes. And that is powerful. 30:26 Amen. Amen. Yeah, that's powerful. 30:28 I have another scene if you don't mind, Jason. 30:30 This one is one that talks about 30:33 one of the devil's traps in the last days 30:36 referring to spiritualism. 30:38 And this is just kind of will give the viewers 30:40 a little bit of a feel of how the videos look. 30:43 Nice. 30:44 Let's take a look at that now. 30:46 The Bible teaches that the dead are truly dead, 30:49 and that the righteous dead will be given eternal life 30:52 when Jesus returns and resurrects them. 30:55 Those who believe 30:56 that the soul lives on after death are vulnerable 30:59 to the deceptions of familiar spirits, 31:02 which are demons posing as those who have died. 31:05 Satanic beings will appear as beloved family members, 31:08 and respected church leaders who had died. 31:12 They will claim to have messages from God, 31:14 saying that God's commandment to keep the Sabbath holy 31:17 is no longer binding, 31:19 and that we are to honor Sunday in His day. 31:22 Finally, Satan will pull out all the stops 31:25 in a last ditch effort to deceive 31:27 and destroy God's people. 31:29 And his crowning act of deception, 31:31 a demonic imposter will even appear 31:34 as Jesus Himself. 31:37 That makes you want to watch the video. 31:39 That definitely makes you want to check it out for sure. 31:41 I need to share. 31:43 You know, 31:44 it's a different style on YouTube. 31:46 You know, there's a lot of preachers 31:49 and praise the Lord, and I said this in the other interview, 31:52 we don't want to say 31:54 that YouTube is the only form of evangelism, 31:57 you know, Bible studies, public meetings, 32:00 all that stuff still has their place. 32:02 This is another avenue 32:03 that God is using in a mighty way. 32:06 And it's like Jesus did, 32:08 He went to where the people are? 32:10 YouTube, Facebook, that's where many people are. 32:13 And these videos have the opportunity 32:16 to reach people that those other methods will not. 32:18 Yes. 32:19 It gets into the home, it gets on to the cell phone. 32:22 And I was telling the pastor earlier, 32:25 you know, I'll be in bed sleeping at night, 32:27 with the knowledge that these videos are preaching. 32:30 Like, I've put a preacher by God's grace 32:32 in all these people's smartphones. 32:35 And so it's a wonderful opportunity to share. 32:38 Wow. 32:39 But the style used on YouTube is a different style 32:41 than traditional preaching. 32:44 I think it's important to be very personal, 32:47 with the viewer to look at them, 32:49 to have the camera closer, 32:51 to use graphics, even use music. 32:54 And these are things that just help 32:56 engage the viewer and help them 32:57 to assimilate the information better. 33:01 How long are your videos typically? 33:04 Oh, they range. 33:05 Typically, maybe 15 minutes more or less. 33:09 Some of the heavier videos like things 33:10 like the change of the Sabbath, 33:12 the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, 33:14 those are longer. 33:15 Okay. 33:16 You know, because they have more content 33:18 than I need to share. 33:19 Yes, yeah. 33:20 To give the full picture. Yeah. 33:22 Yes, absolutely. Yeah. 33:23 But I love the bite sized pieces. 33:25 I love the 15 minutes that we have that. 33:27 I think that's great. 33:28 Yep. 33:30 When did you see a tremendous amount of growth 33:33 within your ministry? 33:34 Yeah. 33:36 Well, you know, I really wanted to start off on the right foot. 33:40 And so right off the bat, 33:42 the first video we did was on Daniel Chapter 2. 33:45 And again, wanting to follow 33:47 kind of that evangelistic order. 33:49 A lot of times you start with Daniel 2. 33:51 And right off the bat, the Daniel 2 video, 33:54 the two videos Ricky helped me with, 33:55 the Bible, the Fall of Lucifer, 33:59 all those did very well. 34:01 Yeah, all those have, you know, several hundred thousand views. 34:04 The Fall of Lucifer has over a million. 34:07 And so I think God really from the get-go, 34:11 He affirmed that this is, He is behind this work. 34:16 And so kind of right from the beginning, 34:17 God really blessed it. 34:19 Amen. Yes. 34:20 We see that with that growth. 34:22 And I think it's also the engagement 34:24 because you have a system in place 34:26 and I think that's so crucial. 34:28 Amen. 34:30 You're not just, you know, sharing, 34:31 but you're also leading them to Christ, 34:34 introducing them the Bible workers 34:36 and all that stuff. 34:37 It's powerful. Amen. Amen. 34:38 We want to have, 34:40 you know, we want to have a thorough system. 34:41 And as we grow, again, we want to help people 34:45 join God's movement. 34:47 Yes. 34:48 And so, that is one of the things 34:49 that we're doing. 34:51 And we want people who support our ministry to know 34:54 not only are we sharing the three angels' message, 34:57 but we're doing in a way that is reaching many, many people. 35:01 And we're also committed 35:03 to helping these people be part of God's Church. 35:05 Amen. Absolutely. 35:08 And you guys do contact the viewers outside of YouTube. 35:13 Yeah. 35:14 Now, is it like an email thing? 35:16 Is it, how do you, 35:18 because I know it's a public forum. 35:19 Yeah. 35:21 So how do they get you their information? 35:23 Yeah, well, 35:25 there's a couple different methods, 35:26 you know, beneath every YouTube video, 35:29 you have the comment section, 35:30 and that can get pretty crazy. 35:32 I mean, you got a lot of comments down there. 35:35 And so it's really hard to address all of those, 35:38 you know, I'll try to go in there sometimes and reply, 35:41 and like comments and stuff like that. 35:43 But we also have a young lady that helps with our emails, 35:47 and she replies to them and she lets me know 35:50 if there's one that I need to address. 35:51 Okay. 35:53 We have people following up on Facebook, Instagram, 35:56 I have a gentleman that's helping me 35:57 on with those social media platforms, 35:59 answering questions, letting me know 36:01 if there's something I need to address. 36:03 And again, just getting into those YouTube comments. 36:06 We have particular appeals during the videos, 36:10 where I will make an appeal, and I'll say something like, 36:12 "If you want to find a church 36:15 that is teaching this message, just email us or text us." 36:19 I used to do more texting. 36:20 Okay. 36:22 I had some issues with that, so now it's mostly email. 36:24 But I do make appeals on the video 36:26 for people to get in contact with us 36:28 so that we can help them take that next step. 36:31 Praise God. 36:32 What are some testimonies that you can share 36:34 or some miracle stories that you can share with us? 36:37 Yeah, yeah, well, just so many, you know, I get emails, 36:41 and I get videos of people saying, 36:43 you know, "God led me to this video." 36:46 Or they were saying, "I was struggling, 36:48 and I was, or I was thinking, 36:50 I was just wondering about the Sabbath. 36:52 And the next thing I know, I see your video." 36:54 And, you know, they say, "Praise the Lord, 36:56 that God led me here." 36:58 We hear the other day, I heard a lady say, 37:01 "You know, I'm going to be baptized on this date, 37:03 you know, and I started watching the videos, 37:05 and now I'm going to be baptized," 37:06 and, you know, many things along those lines. 37:10 One of the things that's exciting 37:12 is this is a global ministry. 37:14 You know, we have many viewers from the Philippines, 37:16 from India, from just so many nations, 37:19 you know, across the globe. 37:21 And to hear, 37:23 to be able to reach them is very encouraging. 37:26 Amen. 37:27 And you know, the way I look at this, Jason, 37:30 it's not about the messenger. 37:32 It's about the message. 37:33 Amen. 37:34 And without this message, I'd be nothing. 37:37 You know, I'd be talking about some worthless thing. 37:41 But because this message is so powerful, 37:44 God has blessed this in a mighty way. 37:46 Yes. 37:48 And I think this is just the beginning. 37:49 You know, God has much in store, 37:51 I believe, for this ministry, and for the future. 37:55 And I'm just excited to be a part of it. 37:57 Amen. 37:58 I love what you said earlier, and I want you to say it again. 38:01 But it was, you know, basically, 38:03 you couldn't afford to risk gambling eternity 38:07 on what, believing if God was real or not? 38:10 Absolutely. 38:11 You know, we have a heaven to win, 38:14 and eternity is at the doorstep. 38:16 Yes. 38:18 And why not take every moment of this life 38:21 to live for eternity? 38:23 And let's say someone has doubts or questions, 38:26 well, I'd encourage you to do what I did and pray about it, 38:30 have an open mind, seek God. 38:31 Yes. 38:33 Because even if you're not quite sure, 38:35 even if you're not 100%, 38:37 use that seed of faith that God has given. 38:40 Even if it's a mustard seed, use that and, 38:43 you know, for someone who's maybe on the fence, 38:46 why not live for God? 38:47 Because if it's true, you've won eternity. 38:50 Yes. 38:51 And if it's false, we know it's not false. 38:53 I'm 100% sure, but I'm saying somebody may 38:56 be in that valley where they're not sure. 38:58 Yes. 38:59 You know, for that person if it's false, 39:00 you've lost nothing. 39:02 Absolutely. 39:03 You know, you've lived for God, 39:04 you've probably had a better life on this earth 39:06 because God's principles lead to a healthier better life. 39:09 You've probably saved your liver 39:11 'cause you're not taking alcohol, saved your lungs 39:13 'cause you're not smoking cigarettes. 39:14 There you go. 39:16 Better relationships, better everything. 39:18 Absolutely. 39:19 But if, man, if it's true, well, you've gained everything. 39:22 You've gained eternity. 39:23 Amen. 39:25 And so live for God. 39:26 You know, it's worth it. 39:27 We're going to get to heaven and say, 39:29 "Heaven was cheap enough. 39:31 You know, nothing that I gave up 39:33 was too costly for this." 39:35 Absolutely. Absolutely. 39:36 And we're really not missing out on anything 39:40 on this earth for sure. 39:42 I know, I've heard some of your testimony, 39:43 and I know that you verify that same thing. 39:46 Yes. 39:47 For the life you left 39:48 and now just such a more fulfilling rewarding life. 39:52 Amen. 39:53 How did you discover your purpose 39:57 and calling in your life? 39:59 Yeah, well, I just, 40:03 I feel that I move forward as God open the doors. 40:06 Okay. 40:08 You know, I could have just sat forever 40:11 and just waited to hear like a voice from heaven saying, 40:14 "I need you to do this." 40:16 But I think a lot of finding our purpose is, 40:19 first of all, being surrendered to God 40:21 so that we can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. 40:24 'Cause if we have sin in our life, 40:26 that's going to block all that, 40:27 and we're going to get the wrong message, 40:29 or we're not going to hear it clearly. 40:31 And so as we are, 40:34 as we make ourselves right with God, 40:35 as we confess our sins, then we can hear His voice. 40:39 And essentially, I believe 40:41 it was just looking at the opportunities 40:44 that God put in my path, 40:46 trying to take advantage of those opportunities, 40:49 and at the end of the day, just moving forward. 40:51 Yes. 40:52 Because there may be times where we may not 100% know 40:55 this is God's will for sure. 40:58 You know, even how this ministry was started, 41:01 you know, I don't want to speak for the leaders, 41:02 but there might have been some doubts or questions. 41:05 But at the end of the day, they said, 41:06 we are going to move forward in faith. 41:08 And God has blessed immensely. 41:10 Amen. 41:12 You know, I love the fact that you just said that, 41:14 you know, it was basically on you are going, 41:17 you're moving. 41:19 Our founder, Danny Shelton always says 41:21 that the blessing is on the go. 41:22 Yes. 41:24 And so you were constantly going, 41:25 I think that, you know, sometimes 41:27 paralysis lies in our analysis. 41:30 And so what I mean by that is that sometimes 41:32 we're so focused on like, 41:34 I don't want to make the wrong decision, 41:36 I don't want to go in the wrong direction, 41:37 I'm waiting for a voice, I need to hear something. 41:41 But you moved forward, 41:44 and it was in a direction that was toward God. 41:46 Amen. 41:47 I want to make that very clear. 41:49 Yeah. Amen. 41:50 I think that's so important. 41:51 And not everyone is called to be, 41:53 you know, YouTube evangelist or televangelist. 41:55 But everybody's called to ministry. 41:57 Amen. 41:58 You know, and it's a matter of, 41:59 I think it's part of it is reflecting on the skills 42:01 God has given us. 42:03 You know, we were kind of joking 42:04 before this interview began, 42:06 that we're going to do some music. 42:09 I'll say as long as it's not me. 42:11 And then, 'cause I don't want to scare the people away. 42:13 Me neither. 42:15 And so, you know, that's not my gift. 42:17 And so I want to pick an area that I see 42:19 and others have confirmed that God has gifted me in. 42:22 Amen. 42:23 So that's part of the process. 42:26 And at the end of the day, 42:27 just surrendering ourselves to Christ, 42:29 like you said, moving forward 42:31 with the opportunities He has given to us. 42:33 Yes. 42:34 Now, here's, this is just a totally random question 42:37 that I want to throw out there to you. 42:38 But how do you study the Bible? 42:41 Okay. 42:42 It's interesting, you asked, because right now, 42:45 and I didn't mean to do this. 42:47 This is kind of a plug 42:48 for something we do on our ministry. 42:49 Yes. 42:51 But I have a Patreon page. 42:52 Okay. 42:53 And it's called Hope Through Prophecy 42:55 if you go to patreon.com 42:56 And essentially what I offer this to anybody, 42:59 including our YouTube viewers. 43:00 Okay. 43:02 And it's like a small monthly fee 43:03 that just helps support our ministry. 43:05 But what I do on there 43:06 is I read a passage from the Bible every day. 43:10 Just last night, as I got to 3ABN, 43:13 I was, I did, so what I do is I read a passage, 43:16 and then I do a reflection video. 43:17 And then I upload that. 43:19 Nice. 43:20 And then the people on Patreon, 43:21 they will also read that passage. 43:23 It's a Bible reading plan 43:25 where we read through the Bible in a year, 43:27 but you can jump in at any time, 43:28 you can jump in halfway, 43:30 it's just as pretty much just as good. 43:32 And so basically, what we do is we read, 43:36 and I ask people to ask different questions. 43:39 Okay. 43:41 What is the Bible saying? 43:42 Like, what does it say? 43:43 What does it say about God? 43:46 And what does it say to me? 43:47 Nice. 43:48 So essentially, first of all, what is the text saying? 43:50 Yes. 43:51 You know, looking at the context 43:53 and look at what's happening, 43:54 but also, what does it say about God's character? 43:57 You know, and you might learn from a passage 43:59 that God is patient, God is loving, God is powerful. 44:03 But as we read His Word, we become more like Him, 44:07 and we learn more about His character. 44:08 Yes. 44:10 But also, what does it mean to me? 44:11 Because we never want to read the Bible as a regular book, 44:14 just for knowledge sake, we want it to change our lives. 44:17 Amen. 44:19 And so we have to digest and then reflect and ask, 44:22 "What does God want me to do 44:24 in response to what I'm reading?" 44:26 And so last night, I did a video 44:28 on the Patreon page about the Day of Atonement. 44:31 Yes. 44:33 Because we're in Leviticus, I think it was Chapter 16. 44:37 And then also Matthew 27. Okay. 44:40 We were talking about the trial 44:42 that Jesus had before His crucifixion. 44:45 So that just happens to be 44:46 where we are in the reading plan. 44:48 And there's so many lessons. 44:50 There's so many powerful lessons. 44:52 Yes, it sounds rich. 44:53 Amen. It sounds rich. 44:55 And it's so good to see the other people 44:57 on Patreon putting their reflections, 44:59 because they have insights 45:01 and you'll have insights that I may not have had. 45:04 And so I think there's a benefit 45:05 to kind of sharing those things as well. 45:07 Absolutely. 45:09 What are some upcoming projects 45:11 that you have with Hope Through Prophecy? 45:13 Yes. 45:14 Well, at this time, we are, 45:16 I'm planning on doing some videos on Revelation, 45:20 you know, looking at things like the seven churches, 45:23 the seven last plagues, 45:25 and I want to revisit things like the state of the dead. 45:29 Because even with the videos I've done, 45:32 they're still questions. 45:34 You know, they're still questions. 45:35 What about this person? 45:36 So, what I'm looking to do is go deeper into those topics, 45:40 but still keep the production value high. 45:43 And so we want to create bigger videos 45:46 about the three angels' messages 45:48 that expand on these truths 45:49 and still have kind of that cinematic feel. 45:52 And so these videos take work, you know, and... 45:55 Yes, they do. 45:57 Like one video, like the Final Days video, 45:59 I told Wesley, between the three videos, 46:03 if I add up all the hours 46:04 that were put into those videos, 46:06 plus the hours that I took to combine them into one, 46:09 it's probably close to 400 hours. 46:12 Four hundred man hours that went into that. 46:15 That's an hour and a half video. 46:16 And that's kind of a, that's a... 46:18 There's a lot going on in that video. 46:19 Yes. 46:21 A 15 minute video might be about a week's worth of work, 46:25 maybe 30 to 40 hours. 46:27 Wow. 46:29 You know, so there's a lot of work. 46:30 So we can use support, 46:33 you know, to be able to keep this train going 46:36 and to keep this message going to the world. 46:38 So when people are like, "Well, where's your next video? 46:41 When is your next video going to be uploaded?" 46:43 Yeah. Four hundred man hours? 46:45 Yeah. 46:46 They're usually not that long. 46:48 But yeah, it's definitely a work 46:52 and staying faithful at it is very important. 46:55 But I looking forward, 46:58 especially with a new team that we have, 47:00 I think we're going to have even more and more content, 47:03 and I think that'll help the channel to grow. 47:05 But most importantly, bring more people to the truth. 47:08 Amen. Amen. 47:10 And that's the goal. 47:12 Amen. That is the goal. 47:13 Amen. 47:15 We have one more video clip 47:16 that we would love to take a look at 47:17 if you can tell us what we're about to see. 47:19 Absolutely. 47:20 This is a scene from the USA in Bible prophecy. 47:22 And this explains the way 47:25 that the message will go out in the last days. 47:28 And as you watch this, 47:29 I want you to put yourself in the shoes of the people 47:33 that I'm referring to in this scene. 47:35 You'll see what I'm talking about when you see the clip, 47:38 that God has a role for you 47:40 to share this message with the world. 47:42 Amen. Let's check it out. 47:46 While Satan and his demons are working tirelessly 47:48 to deceive the masses. 47:50 God and all His army of heavenly hosts 47:53 are diligently laboring to save as many precious souls 47:56 as possible. 47:58 They are uniting with God's people, 48:00 giving their words unstoppable divine power, 48:03 as they proclaim the first, second 48:05 and third angels' messages to a dying world. 48:09 And powered by God, 48:10 the messages given by God's people 48:12 will spread like wildfire across the globe. 48:15 And this gospel of the kingdom 48:17 will be preached in all the world 48:19 as a witness to all the nations, 48:21 and then the end will come. 48:24 Amen. 48:25 And we are looking forward to the end for sure. 48:27 Yes. Yeah. 48:29 It's a great work, Jason. 48:31 And we, as this final generation 48:33 had been entrusted to give this message to the world. 48:36 Yes. 48:37 And can I share a quote with you? 48:38 Oh, please do. 48:40 It's a quote that I think will be powerful 48:41 to our listeners as well. 48:43 "In a special sense, 48:44 Seventh-day Adventist have been sent in the world 48:46 as watchmen and light bearers. 48:49 To them has been entrusted the last warning 48:51 for a perishing world. 48:53 On them is shining wonderful light 48:55 from the throne of God. 48:57 They have been given a work of the most solemn imports, 49:00 the proclamation of the first, second 49:02 and third angels' messages. 49:04 There is no other work of so great importance. 49:08 They're to allow nothing else to absorb their attention." 49:13 It's a powerful quote. 49:15 Yes, it is. 49:16 And this is the calling that God has given our church. 49:20 And there's different ways we can do this. 49:23 We can be involved in our local church, 49:25 we can support public evangelism. 49:28 You can support Hope Through Prophecy 49:30 because this is the work we are doing. 49:31 Of course, 3ABN doing wonderful work 49:34 on this front. 49:36 And so, pray to God, ask for ways 49:38 that you can be involved doing this work. 49:41 And it could be getting Bible studies, 49:43 it could be getting literature, 49:45 I'm not saying we're the only ones doing it. 49:46 Yes. 49:48 But I think that that we are a way 49:50 to get this out in a very broad aggressive way. 49:53 Amen. Amen. 49:55 You know, how do you limit distractions? 49:58 Because now there's so much external stimuli vying 50:01 for our attention. 50:02 How do you limit that and focus on the gospel? 50:06 That's a very good question. 50:08 You know, that's a constant battle, 50:09 because the devil wants us to get distracted, 50:12 even if it's with something that is neutral, 50:15 you know, watching whatever, 50:17 something that isn't inherently bad, 50:19 but distracts us from our mission. 50:22 And I think it just, it takes some self-reflection, 50:25 you know, searching our heart. 50:27 And it takes just good old common, 50:29 rolling up your sleeves and saying, 50:31 "I can't do this right now. I have to do this." 50:33 Yes. 50:35 And sometimes that discipline, 50:36 it takes time to build that discipline, 50:38 to build that character, to stay faithful. 50:41 But, you know, we have to start now. 50:44 We have to begin building 50:45 or continue building that character now 50:48 because if we wait till the end and expect to have that, 50:51 to build that character at the last minute 50:53 to avoid the mark of the beast, it'll be too late. 50:56 That's right. That's right. Yes. 50:58 Transitioning ever so quickly. 51:00 What's the importance of having subscribers 51:03 to your YouTube channel? 51:04 Yes, absolutely. 51:05 Well, when someone subscribes to the channel, 51:08 they click the subscribe button. 51:10 And it's also important that they click the bell icon, 51:14 because the bell gives them a notification 51:16 when a new video comes out. 51:18 And they can select all notifications 51:20 or some notifications. 51:21 Nice. 51:23 If you just subscribe to Hope Through Prophecy, 51:24 please select all notifications. 51:26 That's right. 51:27 But the significance of that is it doesn't cost anything, 51:31 it's free, but you'll be notified 51:33 when we put out a new video. 51:35 And so as we build subscribers, we're building a network, 51:39 basically a family of people who say, 51:41 "I want to be part of Hope Through Prophecy. 51:43 I want to hear the messages that are coming up." 51:46 Which is excellent. Yes. 51:47 And I want you to know 51:49 how you can support Hope Through Prophecy. 51:51 We will be right back after this short break. 51:55 If you would like more information 51:56 about Hope Through Prophecy, 51:58 you can write to them at PO Box 2022, 52:03 Priest River, Idaho 83856. 52:06 Again the address is, 52:07 PO Box 2022, Priest River, 52:12 Idaho 83856. 52:15 You can go to their website 52:16 at hopethroughprophecy.org 52:19 Again, hopethroughprophecy.org 52:23 You can also email them at Dustin@hopethroughprophecy.org. 52:28 Again, dustin@hopethroughprophecy.org. |
