This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the forging table. The mission of Undaunted Life is equipping men to push back darkness with content that forges spiritual mental and physical resilience at the forging table. You'll see a group of regular guides forging spiritual resilience by digging into God's word and we're welcoming all of you to come along on that journey with us. That's Caleb. That's Robert. That's Ryan. The horn rather is how I could say if you didn't listen to the last episode. That's just going to seem awkward. But if you did listen to the last episode during the introduction Caleb whenever he's you know supposed to be

just answering the questions and saying normal white people stuff. He just low key dropped in the middle of the forging table a bomb that basically his family were members of Colts and and Robert you actually know a little bit about about this cold. Apparently I'm the only one at this table that doesn't know. Yeah, see I'm like go ahead because Caleb and I both lived in the same neighborhood the one I still live in and I'm now really kind of questioning if I still need to live there much longer. But evidently I find out Caleb just a couple of years ago.

Go into moving because we live across the street from the compound or you know we need some more information. I like I just call I mean it looks like a miso silo when you drive. It's got gates. It's got gates. We actually broke inside one time and we sneak past the security checkpoint. I had somebody that was just really interested in the theater productions that were there and we went inside the auditorium that was there and it was unbelievable. Yeah, I mean the I don't know wood from Madagascar that was

used for the sinks in the bathroom in the Svartsky's crystals that there's like 10,000 Svartsky's crystals that are in each one of the chandeliers that are in there. I mean it is plush. Okay, so no one knows what we're even talking about. But we need you to bring it around. Yeah, like if you live in the town that we live in and you drive North, you see this place. You're like, oh that's weird. But like apparently I had no idea it was connected to what would you say is a Herbert Armstrong. Okay. Yeah, Herbert Armstrong. So funny.

Story about the house. So my my wife, we've been married a couple years. She finds this house online, right? She's like, this is the one. So we're going out to see it for the first time or drive in North. We're like, as you know, out of town for, you know, miles and miles and we go past, we pass waterly road.

And then there's this massive building that we pass and I see the sign and I just start laughing. Like I see Herbert Armstrong college, I think is what the science says.

And I just start laughing in my wife's like, what? I said, that's the church that I grew up in.

Yeah, it was like your cultish past. She's like, oh, no.

Wait, that actual building? Well, I'll get to that. Okay, all right. Sorry. She's like, oh, no, she goes, are they going to come get us?

I don't know. I don't know. Like, I don't know what you thought we did. We didn't get people.

They've been sending like these houses to her to try to draw her to the area. Scientologists, they had a master plan can go about.

Oh, man. So wind up living there like 14 years. They didn't get us. We made it out. So anyway, so quick backstory. Okay. So Herbert Armstrong was born like

1900ish. Okay. He starts with a radio program and a publication called The Plane Truth. So he, of course, like every

cult leader is a prophet, right, sent by God, you know, is the truth. So anyway, his, it's, it's a all-old testament, right?

So I said last week that everyone thought I was Jewish because, you know, like it's Christmas time and I'm just drawing the snowman

and everyone else is drawing Santa. I'm Dredel. Celebrating. Maybe that was maybe that was the day.

That was the day. That's singing Dredel, Dredel, Dredel, and Concordia, that of clay.

Right. So celebrating, you know, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles, they have unleavened bread like all the Jewish holidays, right?

So that's what I grew up doing. So I'll try and make this quick, but I'm enjoying it. You go. Okay.

So anyway, Herbert Armstrong has, he predicts Christ return a couple times in his life. Obviously, he's wrong.

So his son, there's a splinter and there's several splinter groups like every cult, right?
