Good. Good. So, I mean, you know, last week

1:17

I had Chase on. Right.

1:19

And but this week well,

1:22

this week is me and Emmy. Mhmm.

1:24

So we're to recording week

1:25

early. Right. Yeah. I shouldn't get.

1:28

Well, I mean and then Savannah

1:30

had a great podcast on unlock.

1:32

Yes. With Nate

1:34

Smith. Yeah. We love

1:37

love Nate Smith's music.

1:39

Yes. And Not the

1:40

time she'd ever had a musician on there. She's

1:43

not interesting. Yes. And that well, she's

1:45

got several more there coming on. And, I mean, I

1:47

think it's just I think it's amazing.

1:51

So I think that,

1:54

you

1:54

know, I think I'm I'm so proud of the way that she's

1:56

handling her her podcast. And

1:59

you and her YouTube. I mean, it's

2:01

crazy. I mean, I was looking at the numbers

2:03

on it today, and she's

2:05

up on her YouTube numbers like

2:07

Yeah. And I do

2:10

see I've never been really a YouTube

2:12

verbatim, but,

2:14

like, Grayson pulled it up.

2:17

The episode with Nate --

2:19

Mhmm. -- up

2:19

on this TV screen. So

2:22

I was watching on the TV screen.

2:24

Oh. Sounds like Okay. I

2:26

can see why. This is, you know,

2:28

you get to see people's space. You get to

2:30

see her reaction. And and

2:32

it just feels more real, I think.

2:34

Right. You know, than than sometimes just

2:36

hearing it. Right. You know, when you're actually

2:38

seeing it and you're seeing her interact

2:40

with your guests, I really really liked

2:42

that a lot.

2:43

Yes. Well, I mean, I we love Nate

2:45

Smith, super nice guy. So

2:48

talented. I mean, so talented in

2:50

his story is amazing. So if you

2:52

guys have not tuned in

2:54

to the latest episode

2:57

of Unlock, jump over

2:59

there and listen to that because this

3:01

guy Nate Smith is absolutely amazing.

3:03

And his story -- Yeah. -- is amazing.

3:05

It's very touching. Yeah. So

3:08

and then she has, like, surprise guests

3:10

next week with

3:12

someone who the

3:15

press has tried to get to do a sit down interview

3:17

for the past couple of years, and

3:19

she refused to do it. And she

3:21

decided to do it with Savannah. Yeah.

3:24

So that was that was amazing. I'm like,

3:26

wow. Savannah's actually --

3:27

Oh,

3:28

yeah. -- some good beers. So

3:32

So very proud of her. Lindsey

3:34

continues to do well with coffee combos

3:36

and her southern tea. And

3:39

so blessed about that. So,

3:41

you know, I to kind of

3:43

do some calls this week because we had

3:45

not been able to do a lot of calls

3:47

this

3:47

week. Right. So I

3:49

think that we will go out into the first caller

3:52

place. Hi,

3:54

Todd and Julie. My name is Lexi,

3:57

and I'm calling from Michigan. I

4:00

don't have any questions. However,

4:03

I am reaching out just

4:05

to say thank you. I

4:10

unexpectedly lost my husband

4:12

in November of twenty twenty

4:16

while I actually pregnant with our

4:18

first child. Now

4:21

he is an

4:23

eighteen month old amazing

4:26

little boy. But I

4:28

just what I want to thank you for is

4:30

is your shows. I

4:33

have watched every single

4:35

episode from season one is

4:40

including growing

4:42

Chrisley. I have watched

4:44

every episode that you and your family have

4:48

done. I've listened to every

4:50

single episode that you're podcast.

4:53

And I am currently

4:55

subscribed to Savannah's new podcast as

4:57

well. Watching

4:59

your shows and listening to

5:02

do both speak has

5:05

helped me so much. My

5:07

depression has gotten extremely

5:10

bad and knowing

5:13

that I can turn you guys on

5:16

in my car on my

5:18

phone, falling, see at my desk in the

5:20

network or at

5:22

home when I just need something

5:25

to pick me up. Has

5:28

helped tremendously. I

5:32

just laugh every time

5:34

I watch your shows. But

5:37

thank you for helping me

5:39

get through the darkest

5:42

time of my life. Keep

5:44

doing everything that you're doing.

5:47

You guys are amazing. Bye

5:49

bye.

5:52

Thank you, Lex. See as Julia sitting here

5:54

with tears rolling down her face, you

5:58

know, I can't imagine. I can't imagine

6:00

being pregnant with my first child and losing

6:02

my husband. You

6:04

know, listen. I've Lexi,

6:07

first, let me say thank you for tuning in

6:09

to all of the things that are Chrisley. And

6:11

for that, we're always greatly appreciated.

6:13

And the fact that what we do

6:16

helps someone is even a

6:18

greater blessing. You know, we pray

6:20

daily for God to give us a platform

6:23

that can be used to glorify his name

6:25

and to lift others up. And,

6:27

you know, Lexi, I believe that he's doing

6:30

that. And So,

6:32

you know, I don't wanna sit here

6:34

because I'm not a doctor, so I cannot clinically

6:37

diagnose depression, but I can

6:39

tell you that I take my assets

6:41

because I have dealt with it within my

6:43

own family. I have dealt with

6:45

it with friends and friends children

6:47

and, you know, depression, mental

6:50

health a very serious, serious

6:52

issue around the world,

6:54

and one that we should

6:57

take a hold of. And so

7:00

I

7:00

can't imagine how you

7:02

must be feeling right now. A

7:05

single mother, all of the dreams

7:07

that you had when you got pregnant and Nick

7:09

segment that you and your husband had, those

7:13

dreams have now changed, but

7:17

what I can tell you is is

7:19

that those

7:23

dreams mate those dreams that

7:26

you had that involved your husband

7:28

will not happen. But God

7:30

will replace those dreams with

7:33

something else. And

7:36

time is a great healer. It's

7:38

also a great revealer. And

7:40

what I would say to you over

7:43

and over and over again is

7:46

to turn to God. You

7:49

know, people get confused when they

7:51

hear the saying, you know, well, now God says he'll place

7:53

to more honest and what we convey here.

7:55

Now, what God says is

7:57

is that those that lean into me,

8:00

how they will be able to bear

8:02

what I what I place on them. So

8:05

my suggestion is is to stay in prayer,

8:07

Lexi. When

8:09

you feel that the world is

8:11

just too much, when you feel that The

8:13

devil just will not shake you loose.

8:16

Just go into prayer and just say Lord in

8:18

Jesus' name. I pray that you rebuke

8:20

Satan from my wife. And

8:23

I'm telling you I do that multiple

8:25

times a day because the devil works

8:27

overtime. The devil works over

8:29

time, but he'll never outwork our Lord and Savior.

8:32

So, you know, I

8:34

am grateful again that you called

8:36

in. We send nothing but love and

8:38

like to you always and to your

8:40

baby. Yeah. And I hope that you

8:42

have a wonderful blessed life

8:45

and that every every

8:47

tomorrow is a new beginning for

8:48

you. And that's what I hope

8:51

for you. So God bless you. Next

8:53

caller, please. Hi,

8:55

Julie. Hi, Todd. I said Julie first because

8:57

people usually call in and say hi, Todd

8:59

first. Julie. Hi.

9:02

So I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

9:05

Like so me and my

9:07

husband, we have

9:09

the American mom, but we've been together for

9:11

eleven years, we had two children,

9:13

four in one.

9:15

And I'm

9:18

someone who wants my mother

9:20

around, like, I cannot

9:22

move too far without my

9:24

mom. Like, didn't know how there's

9:26

so many opportunities out there, and we're, like,

9:29

open to move anywhere. We currently

9:31

stay in Mississippi. We work currently in

9:33

Louisiana, but we moved back to be after

9:35

my after I had my youngest son

9:37

because I needed my mom.

9:39

So in my

9:41

husband, he's okay with moving

9:43

anywhere. But I am not

9:45

like, there's a limit to where I

9:48

can move. I cannot

9:50

I am not going nowhere

9:52

that's further than four

9:53

hours. Unless

9:54

my mother is coming.

9:55

If he wants to move around the

9:58

halfway across the country, okay,

10:00

that's fine. As long as my mother is

10:02

coming as well, and he

10:04

doesn't understand, and he's

10:06

a little bit upset about it.

10:08

But, you know, I I

10:10

don't care. You know, like, I want my

10:13

mom. My mom needs to

10:15

be nearby. My mom was a six she's

10:17

a single mom. She raised me and my sister bought

10:19

herself. She's done it all. I the reason

10:21

I wanted to have kids, I'm only twenty

10:23

six. And the reason I wanted to

10:25

have kids, I've already I had my

10:27

daughter when I was, like, twenty one, twenty two.

10:30

And she's the reason I want to have kids

10:32

because I knew what type of grandmother

10:34

she would be, and she exceeded

10:36

it, and she is. And

10:38

I didn't know how much longer I had with

10:40

her. Like, she's sixty two. So I was like,

10:42

I want the children for my

10:44

mom, and

10:45

she's a great grandmother and I chose

10:46

right. But you guys just seem to understand,

10:49

sir. I didn't want a little bit of advice of

10:51

what I need to do. I

10:53

mean, I mean, I know

10:55

what I'm gonna do, but I'm

10:57

open to advice. Thank you,

10:59

guys. Love

10:59

you. Well, we

11:02

love you too, and I thank you for mentioning

11:04

my name first. So you're

11:06

right. That doesn't happen very

11:07

often. Mostly, it's Todd and

11:09

Julie. So I appreciate you mentioning

11:11

my name first. So You

11:13

know, first, I love your attitude,

11:15

and I love your I love

11:17

that you are like,

11:18

listen, I wanna hear what you have to say, but if

11:21

it don't but if it doesn't align with what with

11:23

me and

11:23

my mama, I

11:24

ain't doing it.

11:26

So I love that you I love that

11:28

you said that. But,

11:30

you

11:30

know because you're talking to two people who

11:33

both love their moms. Exactly.

11:35

And, you know, I

11:38

think that

11:41

I think that you know, the Bible

11:43

is very clear that when

11:45

a husband takes a

11:47

wife, he shall cling to that

11:49

wife and the wife shall cling to

11:51

her husband. It. Now, if

11:53

you're moving, if your husband

11:55

has this great job and it's gonna

11:58

further your family, and

12:00

you need to, you know, and you need to

12:02

move. If your mother is not

12:04

willing to relocate,

12:07

nothing. She's she never said to my

12:09

mom, willing to relocate.

12:11

If her husband's got a

12:13

job that's gonna benefit them and

12:15

gonna move them

12:16

forward, needs to be moving forward

12:18

enough that her mama can have a place

12:21

too. Well, wait a minute.

12:23

So now is she saying that husband

12:25

needs to provide housing for her mother.

12:27

What? She

12:27

didn't know that. She just said Okay.

12:30

The apartment's gotta come. Okay.

12:31

Well, that great for your mother to come, but

12:33

now I'm listen, I love your

12:35

personality. I feel like me and you could

12:37

be friends. But Ain't

12:40

no house big enough for your mama and

12:42

you and your husband? Now,

12:45

no. Don't be such. Don't be looking at

12:47

me, Julien. If

12:48

you have like a little apartment above the

12:50

garage or something like that? It

12:52

can work. Yeah. But I he can't

12:54

be walking through his house in his

12:57

drawings, that and out his

12:58

dabbling, and I don't see

12:59

him that way.

13:01

Okay. Well, the mom I

13:03

can't be sitting at the kitchen counter every time he

13:05

comes out of his bed break.

13:08

Now listen, I love my in

13:10

laws, but I don't they stayed

13:13

with us, what

13:15

was

13:15

it? Three weeks ago, four weeks

13:17

ago, and I went into the kitchen, hardwood was

13:19

standing at the end of the counter and is underway. And

13:22

I I went to get me something to drink,

13:24

and I came back in the rain because I joined Jimmy

13:26

said, where's your drink? I said, this is not

13:28

gonna work.

13:29

Did I

13:30

not? She said, what

13:32

is it? I said, I have

13:34

been traumatized because

13:36

I just saw your big ass daddy

13:38

standing at the end of my kitchen counter.

13:41

My gut occurs. And I

13:43

said IS. That's not enough.

13:45

Mary wrote an IS. Oh,

13:48

a

13:49

donkey. Excuse me.

13:52

I said I had been

13:54

traumatized. I had literally walked in your

13:56

daddy dunking oreos into a

13:58

cup of milk that's

14:00

into my counter in his

14:01

underwear. That is not okay,

14:04

Julie.

14:04

Just his

14:05

time, please. Just go to bed, honk. Just go

14:07

to bed, I'll deal with it.

14:08

And I know Goodwill. She hasn't said a word.

14:10

He never said a word. Did you? No. That's

14:12

what I figured. So that so, you know what?

14:15

I'm with her

14:15

husband. You're siding with your

14:18

people over me and I'm your

14:20

person. So I guess what you

14:22

have Well, she said that's coming

14:24

regardless. He can go everywhere he wants to

14:26

go with her mom and stuff.

14:27

But

14:27

you can't be you cannot be saying things

14:29

like That you're putting your mama before you

14:31

put your man.

14:32

Why she did for this? No. She did. She

14:35

said my mama's coming whether he comes

14:37

behind. So if that's the case,

14:39

then, you know What

14:40

kind of split on the what kind of

14:42

split on this?

14:43

No. Because I listen, I love my mother. I

14:45

love my grandma's. And everywhere we'll

14:47

move. How can we work with

14:48

us? Well, then

14:49

my mama can. We'll

14:51

get this up. Yeah.

14:53

But IIII like my mama

14:55

better than Oh,

14:56

okay. I hear you. I mean,

14:57

she's my mom. Well, yeah.

14:58

I never go.

15:00

And no matter

15:00

where I can't give me No matter where I go,

15:03

my mom is going, whether you go or

15:05

not.

15:05

Oh, okay. Gotcha. So I feel

15:07

you on that one, girl. Let

15:09

us know how

15:09

it works out. Let us know if you move across

15:12

the country and if your mama comes or

15:14

not. Well,

15:14

I just want you to let me know

15:17

of what

15:17

your husband is saying.

15:20

If you if your mother is

15:22

willing to reload k. And she's there to

15:24

help you with your children. If she gives you that

15:26

stability and helps

15:28

to prop you

15:29

up, then that's a great asset for

15:31

you. And

15:31

it also should your husband should also

15:34

be benefiting from the fact

15:36

that you're

15:36

not stressed out all the time.

15:39

That your mother is a great

15:41

grandmother to hurt these

15:42

children. Those are all

15:45

blessings. But That

15:47

blessing needs to be contained

15:50

because I don't need to I don't need my

15:52

mother-in-law, blessing me seven days a week, twenty four

15:54

hours ago. So I'm just putting that out

15:56

there for you. I don't and I don't

15:58

need my father-in-law, blessing

16:00

me at eleven o'clock at night standing

16:02

in the kitchen, his underwear. Dipping

16:05

Oreoams. No. I'm good on

16:07

that. So you get back

16:09

other and be kind to

17:32

each I just you know, and

17:35

everybody is not all

17:37

perfect and we should be we should

17:39

be thankful if we can bless the

17:41

body or we can help the

17:43

body. Help them. I just want you to know

17:45

that you encourage me every

17:47

week that I'll listen to your butt

17:49

crackers that's a blessing for me and

17:51

my my husband. And my

17:53

daughter's name is Savannah.

17:55

You have a beautiful Savannah.

17:57

I have a beautiful Savannah. I

17:59

I just love you guys so much. I'm so

18:02

thankful that God placed

18:04

you in in people's

18:06

love to hear your story.

18:08

That are real. Nothing's made up. I

18:11

mean, you don't tell this, but it's

18:13

it's your line. It's you're you're afraid

18:15

to talk about anything and everything.

18:17

I want you guys to know that God loves you.

18:19

I love you. Hope you all have a

18:21

wonderful week and talk

18:23

to you soon.

18:26

Thank you, Angela, for

18:28

calling in, and I'm glad that your situation

18:30

has gotten better. And if you have

18:32

a Savannah, then I'm sure she is

18:35

as wonderful as Ira Savannah.

18:37

You know, thank you for

18:39

your, you know, for your

18:41

comments. we truly do feel

18:43

like that that

18:45

the podcast

18:47

and the shows have reached

18:50

tens of millions of

18:50

people. And and

18:52

for that, we're grateful

18:55

because so many people reach out to

18:57

us every day telling us

19:00

How much it's helped their family? How much it

19:02

how much it's helped them with their mental

19:04

health? You know, how much they love to

19:06

laugh with our family. And that

19:09

can relate to certain situations. And

19:12

so, you know, we're very grateful for

19:14

that. And you

19:16

know, I do feel like that there is a calling on our family.

19:18

You know, we're going through a lot of heartache right

19:20

now, a lot of hurt.

19:24

But the valley that we're in, we won't

19:26

stay in forever. And

19:28

what I do know is that I'm gonna keep

19:30

standing. You're gonna keep standing, Julie. Our

19:32

family's gonna standing by the grace of

19:34

God, we will walk through this

19:36

storm. But

19:38

I think that what we have to pay attention

19:40

to in helping other people

19:42

is that our goal every day is to be a

19:45

blessing to

19:45

someone. Right.

19:46

If we can't help you, we don't wanna hurt

19:49

you. But I also believe

19:51

that we don't, you

19:52

know, we

19:54

can't be entertaining our enemies.

19:57

Right.

19:57

And, you know, I know that the Lord says I will

20:00

prepare at the table in front of the

20:02

enemies. But he didn't say he's gonna

20:04

seat us at that same

20:05

table. He

20:06

didn't say

20:06

that we were gonna be watching them

20:09

eat. They're gonna watch you eat. Well, it's

20:11

like what he says, about forgiveness.

20:13

You can forgive somebody,

20:16

but you don't have to give them a seat at your

20:18

table. That's right. You

20:20

can

20:20

forgive them all day long. But it does

20:22

not mean you have to give them a seat at

20:24

your table.

20:24

Mhmm. And, you know, listen.

20:26

It it comes down. We've talked about

20:28

this on the on this podcast before.

20:31

I was looking at a thing on the on

20:33

social media of the

20:33

day, and it said the deadliest kiss in your

20:36

life is a Judas kiss.

20:37

Yeah. The

20:38

deadliest kiss that you will pay screenshot

20:41

at that

20:41

exact same That

20:44

the deadliest kiss you'll you'll ever receive

20:46

is a Judas kiss. And

20:47

I think for

20:48

those of you who don't maybe understand

20:51

what that means, it's

20:54

it's it's the

20:56

it's what we

20:57

get from someone who does not have our

20:59

purest intentions -- Mhmm. -- who somebody

21:02

that

21:02

is in an hour in our circle who is ultimately

21:05

trying to destroy us. Someone

21:07

who we think is our friend,

21:09

someone that we think is a coworker, with

21:11

someone that we think is rooting for

21:13

us and really they're trying to destroy

21:14

us. Well, I mean, it goes back to I mean, I

21:17

had a Judas kiss. I mean, I've had multiple

21:19

Judas kisses in my life.

21:21

You

21:21

know, one of them was my was one of my

21:24

cousins. And she

21:26

was selling stories to the

21:28

tabloid. And, you know, we just found this out

21:30

like four months ago that she was one

21:32

of the ones that was leaking

21:34

false information to

21:37

this vlog. And it was

21:39

coming out, you know, and and this person was

21:41

putting the, you know, all she was

21:43

telling all these lies and

21:45

she was doing through like Facebook

21:47

Messenger and Twitter

21:49

and things like

21:50

that. And then when we find this

21:53

out, I'm like, oh my

21:55

god. How

21:55

do I

21:56

ever tell

21:58

this to the

21:59

rest of my family? That

22:02

she is the one who has done

22:03

this. And I just had a

22:06

conversation with one of my other cousins last

22:08

night, and I and I told

22:10

her, And she was like,

22:12

you know, nothing surprises me,

22:14

Todd, but with that. That's not a shock

22:16

to me. And, you know, it was it was had

22:18

to me because it was another Judas kiss. Mhmm.

22:21

And, you

22:22

know, a Judas kiss is gonna come from

22:24

somebody that's closest to you.

22:27

It's gonna

22:27

come from someone that's closest to you. It's gonna be

22:29

a family member. It's gonna be your best friend. It's

22:31

gonna be somebody that you've confided in

22:33

that you felt like that that you

22:35

felt the safest to confide

22:38

in. Well, and I

22:39

think that's why it hurts so badly.

22:42

Yes. So, you know, Angela, I think

22:44

that, you know, I you know,

22:46

yes. I pray for

22:48

and I am fervent in prayer

22:51

but I also want to be you

22:53

know, part of my prayer every morning and

22:55

every night is that God removed those

22:57

from our lives that

22:59

is not here for for pure intentions and

23:02

for our good and to and that

23:04

we and that are not allowing us to

23:06

bless them at feed them, you

23:08

know, emotionally and spiritually,

23:10

to remove them from our

23:12

lives and to surround us with

23:15

people that only have good intentions for for me and my family.

23:18

So, you know, I I thank

23:20

you very much, Angela, for calling in, and I'm

23:22

glad that things are improving in

23:24

your life. So God bless

23:26

you and I look forward to another call from

23:28

you soon. Next caller, please.

23:32

Hi, Tom, Julie. My name is Nikki. I'm from Bloomington,

23:34

North Carolina. And I just

23:36

had a

23:36

question I know with Kyle and you guys

23:39

driving Chloe,

23:41

I have a four year old that is my

23:43

whole world. I have her very young,

23:46

and my aunt, uncle raised me and they

23:48

are my parents. But

23:50

I have a half

23:53

brother who is from

23:55

my biological mom and

23:57

he is a very strong

24:02

will, but also almost more

24:04

sophisticated type personality as well

24:06

as battling with drug addiction

24:07

alcoholism. And

24:10

other addictions in his life.

24:13

And

24:13

certain family members in my family have

24:15

made me feel like I'm a bad person.

24:19

For not allowing my

24:21

daughter to be around him. I

24:23

was raised

24:25

in that environment of five years

24:28

old. And it caused trauma that I still deal with.

24:30

And I don't want that for my

24:32

daughter. Is that wrong as me

24:34

to withhold my daughter

24:36

from him? I

24:38

love our brothers of my heart. I have also

24:40

touched him out of my life and love

24:42

him from Adestas. As I say all the

24:44

time, I love people from Adestas. They're

24:48

negativity in toxicity is

24:50

going to bring need.

24:52

I just want to know what's

24:54

your guys thought for and if I'm

24:56

making the right choice by keeping her

24:58

from him as well as keeping myself from

25:00

that

25:00

environment. But thanks,

25:03

guys. I look forward to hearing from

25:05

you.

25:06

Thank you, Nikki from North

25:09

Carolina. And, Julie, I think

25:11

you already know what my response is gonna

25:13

be to this. Yes. First,

25:17

your child of God,

25:19

second, your mother.

25:21

And your responsibility is

25:24

always to your

25:26

child. And you can

25:29

love your brother from a distance, which is what you've

25:31

already said because you've placed those boundaries

25:33

for

25:33

yourself. So if it's not

25:36

okay for you to be

25:38

subjected to his kind of behavior. And she

25:39

said she's experienced trauma. From

25:42

it. Right. But I but I'm gonna get to

25:44

that in a second too. But if it's not

25:46

okay, Nikki, for you if it's okay for

25:48

you to place boundaries, it's

25:50

all your responsibility to maintain those boundaries

25:52

for your child who is four years old.

25:55

If you have experienced trauma

25:57

up until the age of five,

26:00

That means your your daughter is almost at

26:02

the same age that you were

26:04

at when you experienced the trauma.

26:07

So the answer to your question is

26:10

absolutely you have the right to

26:12

withhold him being around

26:14

your

26:14

child. This is your child. You're the

26:16

mother.

26:17

You get to call the shots when it comes

26:19

to your child. You get to say who

26:21

their friends with and who who's coming in

26:23

your house and whether or not they can go hang out

26:25

with this one or

26:27

217? You

26:28

have all of that control. And

26:30

certainly, at four years old, you have all of

26:32

the control. Absolutely. So if your

26:34

brother is an alcoholic and a

26:36

drug addict and a narcissistic individual,

26:39

those are issues that he has to

26:41

deal with, that he has to clean up.

26:44

Love your brother from a distance.

26:46

But when you're loving him from a distance,

26:48

it does not mean that your child has

26:50

to suffer from it. So you

26:53

know, I I'm of the mindset

26:55

that I I do not owe

26:57

you my peace. I do not owe

26:59

you my happiness, and I do not owe

27:01

you my security. And you

27:04

don't owe that to your brother. If

27:06

he loved your his niece

27:08

the way he's supposed to, he'd

27:10

clean his act up. He'd be a good shining role

27:12

model for her for her to look up too

27:14

as a man. And when

27:17

she's that I hear, dating, to be able to say,

27:19

I've got you know, I'm not putting up with

27:21

that. I mean, my uncle would have never done something like

27:23

that or my dad wouldn't do this or my grandpa

27:25

wouldn't do that. Anyone that

27:27

asking you to change who you are to

27:29

accommodate. Someone who doesn't

27:32

even know who they are. You need to get

27:34

rid of them

27:35

too. So, you know, this might be

27:37

this might be that cleansing season.

27:39

You know, sometimes, guide

27:42

moves people out of our lives to make for

27:44

something that's gonna be better that he's got waiting

27:46

for

27:46

us. And, Julie, you know how I feel about that.

27:48

There is no room in my house or

27:50

in my mind? Are in

27:52

my spirit

27:53

for someone that is

27:55

going to be an alcoholic, a

27:57

drug addict, an abuser,

28:00

are someone that is selfish and is going to

28:02

constantly be taking, taking, taking,

28:04

and bringing nothing in with them. So

28:06

if all you can bring to me is drama

28:09

and pain and heartache. I'm sorry. Find

28:11

a new

28:11

subscriber. So I

28:13

hope that

28:14

that helps you, Nikki. Next caller,

28:16

please. Todd Chrisley,

28:20

the man, the

28:22

myth, the legend. Let me

28:24

tell you. Your

28:26

last couple of podcasts that

28:28

I've listened

28:29

to, it has touched

28:32

my soul. If it don't touch,

28:35

anyone so that has

28:37

listened to y'all's podcast, like,

28:41

I don't have to go to church. Because

28:43

you are preaching, you are

28:46

preaching, and you are on

28:47

point. And I thank

28:50

you, and

28:50

I'm sure Everyone

28:51

that is listening, faint

28:54

shoes

28:54

because let

28:55

me tell you something.

28:57

You've made me laugh, you've made

29:00

me cry, And now you're

29:02

getting in my soul with this

29:03

preaching. I think that's your next

29:06

calling.

29:06

Keep up

29:06

the good work. I love

29:09

watching y'all.

29:10

Have a good day. Thank

29:14

you so much for calling in.

29:17

I'm glad that we make you

29:19

laugh. Yes. And I'm

29:21

even more glad

29:23

that I'm messing with your soul.

29:25

I'm messing with spirit. I

29:28

would love to be able to tell

29:30

you that I'm capable

29:32

of preaching, but I'm so far from

29:34

that at this point in my life, I

29:37

do speak what I believe that God speaks

29:39

through me. I do believe

29:41

that God does talk to

29:44

me. I feel the holy

29:46

spirit, you know, and I will say to Julie, I

29:48

will come to you. And I will

29:50

say, I literally have felt

29:52

the holy spirit enter my body today.

29:54

Mhmm. And, you

29:57

know, I think what

29:59

I And the irony of this is that one of

30:01

our prayer partners who, you

30:03

know, June and I are very close to, but Julie,

30:05

you more so because you talked to her

30:07

all the time. Lynn has

30:10

Lynn called us, what was it a couple of weeks

30:12

ago? And she said, I just want you to know that

30:14

the Lord has laid it on my heart, Tide.

30:18

That your next calling is going

30:20

to be feeding the souls of

30:22

the masses. And

30:25

that made that overwhelmed

30:27

me with emotion because

30:29

I truly do believe that I have a

30:31

servant's heart and I want to grow that.

30:34

And I want to be a better person. I

30:36

want to be a good decent person.

30:38

I want to help those that

30:40

can't help themselves. But

30:42

I also believe that we as

30:45

Christians are falling

30:47

short in our country. I was watching a

30:49

program the other night it

30:51

said that roughly seventy percent of our

30:53

population identify themselves as Christian.

30:57

Well,

30:57

if that the case, if we're seventy percent

30:59

of our population is identifying

31:01

as and the Christians are

31:03

failing. Because there's

31:06

no way that thirty percent is

31:08

going to conquer seventy percent.

31:10

That if we're just going from

31:12

a from a numbers perspective, so

31:14

that tells made that seventy if

31:16

the numbers are correct and seventy percent of

31:18

this country identifies as Christian,

31:21

then thirty five

31:23

percent of those percent is not doing their job

31:25

as a Chrisley. Because if

31:27

that's the case, we would

31:29

have less homeless. We

31:31

would have no baby going to bed at night

31:34

hungry. We would not have women

31:36

fleeing at night to bed or women's shelters.

31:38

We would not have veterans

31:40

who cannot buy their matters who are

31:42

living under bridges, who can't afford their

31:44

homes, who were not providing proper

31:47

mental health care for. We

31:49

would not have people out

31:52

here, you know, we would not have

31:54

such government overreach. So

31:58

I don't know that I'm comfortable in saying that we in

32:00

this country are seventy percent critical

32:02

here. Because if that's it's really not.

32:04

Because if that's the case, thirty five

32:07

percent of that number is failing. So

32:09

I don't wanna be a part of that thirty five percent.

32:11

I wanna be a part of the thirty five percent

32:13

that's actually lifting people up that's

32:15

looking to help you if I can.

32:17

So the fact that you

32:19

feel that what I'm saying or what

32:21

you're picking up is

32:23

It's feeding your

32:25

soul. You don't realize what a blessing

32:28

that message is to me.

32:31

Because It is a message that

32:33

is delivered to me consistently

32:35

now.

32:36

And for that, I am grateful.

32:39

So your call today has

32:41

lifted us up and fed our

32:43

soul. So for that, I thank

32:45

you and I hope to hear from you again because

32:47

I love your accent. So

32:49

thank you so much, and God bless you.

32:58

Hey

32:58

y'all.

32:59

It's Savannah Chrisley, and I've got

33:01

a new podcast titled Unlocked.

33:03

We're creating a space for

33:06

people to truly be vulnerable. You're

33:08

used to seeing me having to have this

33:10

picture perfect bow on the life

33:12

that I live and frankly that's

33:14

not who I am. I'm a little wild,

33:16

I'm a little crazy, and I love

33:18

really really hard. I

33:21

really hope that you'll join me every Tuesday as I

33:23

bring on friends, family,

33:25

and some guests that I'm pretty sure you're

33:27

33:52

Hi, Todd. Hi, Julie. I

33:56

really, really, really love your show.

33:58

I am so thankful for your family

34:00

and, oh, I

34:03

seriously am obsessed with

34:05

your show.

34:05

I'm calling

34:06

because I have a question.

34:10

I I

34:10

don't even know how I asked it honestly.

34:14

My boyfriend's brother has had

34:17

an addiction issue for

34:19

four years with drugs.

34:24

And I guess, like, I'm

34:26

curious what's your

34:28

perspective since you've

34:31

dealt with it before being a parent.

34:33

I'm wondering, like, as

34:36

a

34:36

parent, what

34:38

did you

34:39

feel like

34:39

you could do to help him? And

34:42

when did you

34:44

realize like you know,

34:46

it's it's up to him.

34:48

I

34:51

I don't

34:52

really know how

34:53

to help in a

34:56

situation.

34:56

I see how it affects

34:59

my boyfriend. It's making

35:02

him pretty depressed and

35:04

he's not really one to talk.

35:07

So I'm just I'm

35:11

lost. I'm extremely lost

35:13

on a situation. It's

35:17

it's

35:17

been too long

35:19

ongoing and

35:20

everybody's kind of just out of ideas and

35:22

how to help them. So I

35:26

just I would really truly

35:28

I really like

35:29

your opinion because I'm

35:33

scared and I I don't know how

35:35

to stop feeling this way. Thank you.

35:39

I'm looking great.

35:42

Bye. You

35:45

know, addiction is

35:47

just it's it's

35:50

rampant. It's rampant. It it's

35:52

an epidemic.

35:53

In the world right now.

35:56

And, you know, we've dealt with it in

35:58

our family, and what I can tell you

36:00

is, and and I'm good in

36:02

saying this because Kyle has said it to

36:04

me that no matter how much money I

36:06

spent on his recovery, it

36:08

was money that was wasted because he

36:10

wasn't ready to recover. So

36:12

until your brother-in-law or

36:15

your boyfriend's brother, until

36:17

your boyfriend's brother is willing to make is

36:19

ready to make change, he won't

36:21

change. So the change has

36:22

to come

36:23

from those that are around

36:26

it. If you

36:27

are not willing if you love him,

36:30

then you must love him

36:32

with boundaries. You must

36:34

love him

36:36

with expectations. And he he

36:38

will either meet those expectations

36:40

or he'll meet those or he'll always and

36:42

he'll respect the boundaries. And if

36:44

he doesn't, that's assigned he has to move

36:46

out of your life until

36:48

he finds his own way.

36:50

Sometimes it takes people hitting

36:52

rock bottom. To where they looked

36:54

up and they see nothing that

36:56

even resembles what

36:58

they remember their life

37:00

being. And

37:01

you have to hope at that point that their desire

37:03

to return to what they

37:05

knew before drugs

37:10

is more important in ways heavier on their

37:12

heart than the need for the

37:16

drug itself. So,

37:18

you know, you have to

37:20

protect yourself and your

37:22

boyfriend needs to protect himself. When

37:25

I'm talking about protecting yourselves, I'm talking about emotionally,

37:28

you have to be able to say, I

37:30

love you, I'm

37:32

here for you and nothing would make me happier than for

37:34

us to be a family and for you to

37:36

be in our lives every day if

37:40

you're healthy. But

37:42

you making a choice

37:44

to not be healthy

37:46

can't make us sick. So

37:50

I think that that's how you have to look at

37:52

it, and I hope that that that little bit of

37:54

advice will help

37:55

you. So good luck in God bless

37:57

you. Next caller plays.

37:59

Hi there. This is Beth

38:02

from

38:03

me. I

38:04

listen to your podcast and look forward

38:06

to it every single I have,

38:08

you know, the

38:10

every day

38:10

of the week is a podcast of

38:12

one of your children. So I have

38:15

something to look forward to

38:17

on my ride as it's pretty remote out

38:20

here.

38:20

I just wanted to encourage you, I don't

38:22

have a question. I just know

38:24

that I've gone through a pretty

38:26

horrible cat custody case. And I would be

38:29

right about and there was things that will

38:31

be that that weren't true.

38:34

And the

38:35

judge just seemed to be in favor of

38:37

what the

38:38

other parties were saying. And

38:40

I just

38:41

wanted to let you know

38:43

the verse that God gave me. He

38:45

found thirty three times as the Lord brings the counsel of

38:47

the heathen to not. He makes up the

38:49

devices of the people of no effect.

38:51

And I stood

38:54

on that. I stood on that. I stood on

38:56

that the entire fourteen

38:58

months that I was in that battle for my

39:01

child. And I just feel like I've read

39:04

enough in regards to your

39:06

case without clicking on click

39:08

base to get any

39:09

kind of

39:09

information because we

39:12

all know you can't track that stuff.

39:13

But I want you to stand on that and

39:15

feel better how it looks,

39:17

even just walk you into

39:19

the last few days that

39:22

you drive will shut

39:24

down any liar. The counsel will be

39:26

on duty. You talk about jeez, there's so

39:28

much on your

39:29

podcast. The enemy is not happy. And

39:31

I realize that the way that I'm

39:33

talking may not

39:34

play this. But if somebody hears this and

39:36

can just relay the message, that would

39:38

be great because I pray for you

39:42

been up in the middle of the night for you, and I'm not looking

39:44

for anything. I just know that I've put

39:46

up my heart for you and I've

39:49

much and I stand with you in

39:51

prayer and agreement for your

39:53

family. And I love

39:55

you all. Sounds So we are coming from someone you've never

39:57

met, but I am confident

40:00

that you will see the hands of the Lord

40:03

who is gonna anyway. Have a great day,

40:05

guys. Remember your loved up hearing

40:08

things?

40:08

Thank you, Beth. And,

40:11

yes, this will be played.

40:14

And, you know, I love that that's part of the

40:16

thing that I love about the podcast is

40:20

that People

40:22

know the advertisers know what they're getting

40:24

when they pay for advertising on this

40:26

show. And so no one

40:28

is blocking out our faith. No one's

40:31

blocking out a caller that

40:33

calls in. So, Beth, I cannot tell

40:35

you how much your call has meant

40:37

to us tonight. Because I love to hear

40:39

when people intercede on and prayer on our

40:42

behalf. And, you

40:43

know, it's

40:46

it's apps

40:48

absolutely

40:50

it's absolutely amazing

40:54

at the power of prayer. And, you know,

40:56

you said something that, you

40:58

know, when we're talking about we talk about

41:00

Jesus so much on here that it's

41:02

that it's basically pissing the devil

41:04

off. Well, you know what? Listen

41:06

to heart. The closer

41:08

you get to your

41:10

victory, the harder the devil is going to

41:12

work. And we know that.

41:14

And that his goal is to strip you down, to break

41:16

you, to get you you know, and you

41:18

have felt so hard.

41:22

It's like You get to this place in your life. You like God.

41:24

I've I've I've been loyal. I've

41:26

been faithful. I've stayed in

41:28

prayer. I've fasted. I've done this. I've

41:30

done that.

41:32

And God, where are you? You the devil is

41:34

still coming. The devil is still coming.

41:36

God, don't you see him? And

41:39

I feel like the the Lord says to me,

41:42

I see him, but you

41:43

shouldn't. Because if your eyes are on me,

41:46

he's

41:47

behind you. So I'd rather be running from the

41:50

devil than running to the devil.

41:52

And if you're a

41:53

believer, you know that

41:56

Jesus Christ has the

41:59

devil on that

41:59

leash. Yes.

42:00

So he's only getting so

42:03

close. That's right. And you and you've said this, we say

42:05

this all the time. You have to review

42:08

Satan from your life because

42:10

he is

42:11

relentless. He does not stop.

42:14

No. But we believe

42:16

in someone

42:17

who has more stay in power.

42:18

And you and I and I

42:21

tell certain are very competitive

42:24

people. You know, I literally said this to a friend

42:26

of mine the other

42:27

day. I said, listen. You

42:29

are so competitive in everything you

42:32

do, but yet you're not

42:34

willing to compete with

42:36

the

42:36

devil.

42:39

You're not willing to compete with the devil. You're

42:42

willing to compete for a

42:44

number one You're willing to compete for the best song in the

42:46

country. You're willing to compete for the prettiest

42:48

girl, but you're not willing to

42:50

compete with

42:52

the devil. What are

42:54

you talking about? Compete

42:56

with the devil. I don't wanna be competing

42:58

with the

42:59

devil. I said, if you

43:01

compete with the devil,

43:04

That's letting him know that

43:06

you're trying to

43:07

outdo him.

43:08

And the only way you can outdo him

43:10

is by leaning into

43:12

the lowered. So you

43:15

need that extra push across the finish

43:17

line. It's gonna come from God because

43:19

Satan's holding you back.

43:20

God is

43:20

in front of you with his handout saying, grab a

43:23

whole son, grab a whole

43:25

child. I'm right here. But

43:27

the devil's holding you back so you've got to

43:29

be stronger than the devil to get across

43:32

that finish line. And the devil

43:34

is going to spend your

43:36

whole lives. And this is what

43:38

people need to understand. The devil is going to spend its your entire

43:41

life trying to prevent

43:43

you from getting across

43:46

that finish line. And it comes

43:47

in so

43:48

many forms, doubt, you

43:50

know, just not having self worth,

43:54

fear, anxiety.

43:56

All those things are what he uses.

43:58

I think to to pull us back.

44:00

Yes. I mean, god, you I mean, you're It's

44:03

have an app. But what this did

44:05

myself? Right. And the devil uses fear and anxiety and

44:08

jealousy. And,

44:10

you know, He

44:12

uses technology. I mean, technology is a way, you know, to

44:15

keep you away from guide. Right.

44:17

Because you're fixated on sending

44:19

a text or looking at someone

44:22

else's fake life on

44:24

Instagram or sending a nasty

44:26

tweet to somebody that you don't

44:28

even know. Because you're so bitter about your own

44:30

life. You know, so, you know, what I

44:32

would say Beth is, is that I'm

44:34

grateful for people

44:36

like you I'm grateful

44:38

for for women and me and stand

44:40

on the word of the lord because that

44:42

is true at the end of the

44:43

day, all we have

44:46

to rely. And she's speaking, she's come through the other

44:48

side of the storm. Through an eighteen month

44:50

battle. Yes. And her

44:52

hard was I'm sure the

44:54

hardest thing she's ever done. That's right.

44:56

And we talk about that all the time,

44:58

that everyone has a heart. And

45:00

just because our heart

45:02

is being played out for the world to

45:03

mean that we hurt any

45:06

worse than what she hurt. I

45:08

think

45:09

that I think I'll slightly disagree with you

45:12

there. I think that

45:14

where Beth's paying

45:16

her hard

45:18

could

45:18

be this could be as hard as

45:21

what our heart is. Right. But

45:22

if Betts pain was put out

45:25

for the world to judge, I

45:28

believe it becomes

45:29

intensified. Yes. I agree.

45:30

It's it's multiplied and intensified.

45:32

Right. Right. I believe that our

45:35

pain has been placed for the world

45:37

to devour. And

45:40

with so many people

45:42

wanting to see us fall,

45:45

Right. Wanting to see

45:47

our destruction. But what they didn't count

45:49

on was the power of God.

45:51

They didn't count on God

45:53

lifting us up. They didn't count on God

45:55

saying, son, I don't care how many come it

45:58

gets to

46:00

you. Me and you together

46:02

can take on the world.

46:06

So that's what our

46:08

enemy didn't

46:10

count. And our

46:11

enemy certainly

46:12

when they set out to do

46:14

this, they did not count

46:16

on our family

46:18

closer together. They didn't

46:20

count on it driving my

46:22

children closer to the lord. They

46:25

didn't count on the relationship that you and

46:28

I. How how much deeper our

46:30

relationship was going

46:32

to go. They didn't count on the healing that was going

46:34

to take place through their

46:36

plan to destroy

46:38

us. So

46:41

God will restore God

46:43

will restore you in front of the enemy

46:45

that tried to destroy you. And

46:47

I live by that every

46:49

day. Those that try to destroy you Beth are gonna

46:51

be the same ones that have to witness, she'll

46:53

come back. And so

46:56

for that, I'm gonna end it with

46:58

that because you have got me to preaching on here now. And I thank

47:00

you so much, and I love Maine.

47:02

I've never been demaine. And

47:06

it's it's a place that I do wanna go. It's on our bucket list.

47:08

It's it's on our bucket list. So with

47:10

that being said, folks, we're almost out of

47:13

time. Julie, I wanna thank

47:16

always, I want to

47:18

make sure that you know on a daily

47:20

basis how much you mean

47:24

to me as my wife, as the mother of my children,

47:26

as the daughter-in-law to my

47:28

mother, there is no

47:30

finer in those three categories.

47:33

And for that, I am

47:35

blessed and grateful to God to be able to

47:37

call you my wife. So

47:40

until next week, folks.

47:42

Good luck. God bless and know that

47:44

from our heart and home to Yoers, we send nothing but love and light

47:47

until next week.
