Summary

“Dr. Phil consistently stands up for a biblical worldview, which is something many pastors, church leaders, and people in our congregations aren't willing to do,” Pastor Allen said. He had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Phil to talk about Merit Street Media, a new network Dr. Phil and TBN launched that provides a biblically informed perspective on news and culture. They also discuss Dr. Phil’s book, We’ve Got Issues. Dr. Phil said, “When people come with ridiculous arguments, this book gives (readers) the information they need to push back and say, ‘No, wait a minute. That's wrong! And let me tell you why it's wrong.’” Pastor Allen also provides a biblical perspective on the importance of leadership and the need for godly voices. He said, “We've got to begin to understand what we believe, why we believe it, and the impact it will make. And I think Dr. Phil is a helpful voice in that.”

0:00.0	You don't reward behavior that you don't want to see more of.
0:05.0	You reward behavior that you do want to see more of.
0:09.0	But yet, we've become a society where, for example,
0:13.0	we pay people not to work.
0:16.0	We got into this pandemic situation.
0:19.0	We were paying people more money to not work than to work.
0:25.3	When you take into account that they didn't have to spend $7 a gallon for gas to commute,
0:31.8	they didn't have any wardrobe costs, they didn't have any child care cost, and you take those things out.
0:39.3	They could sit home in a beanbag eating Cheetos and make more money than they could if they got up and worked.
0:46.3	And then they turn around and say, what happened to the supply chain?
0:52.3	Well, are you kidding me?
0:58.0	And my guest today is Dr. Phil. We had an opportunity to sit down and talk about his new book. We've got issues. I think you'll enjoy hearing his perspective. I know I did. We'll get to that in just a few
1:12.9	minutes, but I want to put it in a context. I think it will be valuable. We are presiding over a
1:20.3	season or living through a season where there is a significant lack of leadership at just about
1:26.9	any place we look. I live in the church world predominantly, and I can tell you in the church world, that is true. There are some components of that, and we have to change it. I mean, I want to take a couple of minutes before I get you to Dr. Phil. We have to decide we're going to be the change agents. If we sit in our churches and look through the stained glass windows and say those people are the problem, and when they're different, our world will
1:47.3	get better, we have surrendered completely. Our assignment, our leadership, our role as Christ
1:52.5	followers. So my messaging overwhelmingly is directed towards the people of God and trying to encourage
1:57.9	them to be salt and light in our world. And to do that, fundamental
2:02.6	change is we've got to stop being overlookers of evil and becoming overcomers. There's a graphic
2:09.2	difference between those two positions. We've excused it. We've kind of winked at it,
2:14.2	nodded at it. It isn't helpful. We have to overcome evil with good.
2:18.3	I can give you some really clean examples. I had a call this past Saturday afternoon.
