Terri Lynn Schmidt, Jon Speed, and Jenny Neal

Pursuits where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary fashion. Together, we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into the kingdom pursuits now live from the truth.

Your host Robbie Gilmore. We have lunch at one lined up for the day on for God about the amazing folks in their passions and uses it to build the kingdom.

The first one you note this sounds like it could almost be a Christian card. I start we have Terry Lynn Schmidt and her passion. Apparently she's the author of when dragracing met country music, a widow's journey in rediscovery welcome Terry that is a provoking, I'm good, but that is a provoking title) should a Christian card. I immediately go dragracing and country music and widow you have all that and almost in the same sentence. And so I'm thinking that's going to be a an interesting journey. I want now I will bring you the really great around wow your husband must've been really something when it when it comes to dragracing as I could see sword and hear a lot about that.

From Terry Lynn.

But we also have interesting when you know, no pun intended. All that we have John speed with us today and John has nothing to do a dragracing but everything to do a supporting life in the state of New York in so many ways John the you pastor and you and you have a bookstore there, but there's a lot of controversy. New York brought in the reproductive health act January 22. It's been a controversial thing and all were trying to do point out the people that abortion is murder and that they need to keep these precious babies and not sentence him to death. You had a chance to do some things I got a lot of press when you close your bookstore.

My right foot. The time in morning. The day after they voted to expand abortion in New York. We decided to hang out find on our store window and just say were shut down for the 23rd of the day of mourning and we won't collect sales tax today for this government but will resume doing it afterwords under duress so we can hear a lot from John today as well and then we have Jenny, Neil and Jenny.

Neil is really with this movement day event this coming Saturday, March 16 in Charlotte and Jenny. You know there's a lot of movement about this movement thing I've heard this so tell us what's going on with movement day. Well, global leader their marketplace leader that would carry a bag each character operating on the now Ken Keller and Pierre and Bob doll that day in 2010 and we greatly think that Gary and Scarlett at sellout crowd of over 900 and so I would imagine you've got a bigger venue there besides before 900 you could you could you could let's see, probably 20, 30,000 now. Now I think I Out every okay well then you need to go get the district 1st and so the cool thing is that we actually got a little coming up because you know it's kingdom pursuits in people. You have a chance to win some of the stuff that were talking about. So speaking of movement in life. I removed the shell for my racing smell faster but it just made it more sluggish like that right Rachel and Tom along those lines.

After hearing John will talk about.

I don't know life and politics. You can take that no that you actually have a little today which is after the birth of his first child in the Bible. His life became apparent after the birth of his first child in the Bible.

His life became apparent if you know the answer that you can call us at 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH thing to let Rachel tell Martha win a copy of when dragracing contained in Charlotte Ryman so Jenny what's one of the value of those tickets. How much does it cost to come to movement. Wow.

And so I was told that we have two so that's $170 value to go to movement day or Jenny looks Lynn's book coming Terry Lynn argument right Terry Lynn's book, we have Jerry Jenny and Terry Lynn on the same show, so it makes Robbie confused. I'm sorry but Terry Lynn's book that's that's worth at least $170 to inventors with laughing along with that. I'll they might because you know I'm thinking that it another window somebody that's recently widowed mother starting the journey and as it stirred my previous show. It probably applies to a lot of people are going through divorce. It's a similar thing different thing. But still, it's a journey with God and in the loneliness and in some of the things so excited to hear you about that but people can win all they have to do is call in and tell us after the and and obviously maybe not obviously delimiters tell you there's more than one answer this question and that's because we have more than one price to get away. So after the birth of his first child in the Bible who was this person after the birth of his first child. His life became apparent 866-34-TRUTH 87884 as a member to call in and share 86634 truth, and John besides the bookstore and I understand your pastor, but also now there's a movie of YouTube video or something along those lines that you are working with to help get word out in an understanding on the subject of life. Yet we will be about five years ago called babies are murdered here and you can see that for free. It's the 52 minute document Terry abortion. Babies are murdered here.com and right now are filming a sequel to that call babies are still murdered here and so my right your pastor therein anywhere in New York and Syracuse on the south side of the city. We have a small church that meets in a bookstore. Things just for the role of the way on Sunday morning, we can celebrate their source. Christ is King Baptist Church local story has that and then when you called to testify as well. So you make history. One of the videos I saw had you speaking to an audience. Yeah, I spoke at the Batavia New York City Council meeting Thursday for their to make that city into a sanctuary city for the unborn.

So basically, abortion would be outlawed in Batavia would be a place where in New York State where babies would not be murdered. The goal were still a long way from getting there about time it's on part in the process now. What a wonderful thing that's really really cool Jenny as we go back to you.

All you gotta do is call and answer this riddle. I'm shocked Rachel shocked that the lines are not lit up yet people know this answer after the birth of his first child in the Bible�.After the birth of his first child in the Bible.

Call it a family. All of the believer here and there and not handle not operating out of Thailand together in one track.

Many communities so what all is involved in the event I mean, what's the schedule sort of like while we are all here well I work at and then we have all that work on foster care hearing. Starlight white Larry rate here in Charlotte another hill in speaking from level to engage people and vulnerable and cannot we know black, you have only pastor that really heartbreaking at any that we have actually went for Charlotte pastoral network where have to come together like light and fellowship with each other and talk about how to check it can engage together doing their own thing, pulling every Thursday and really Charlotte. I will have a panel of what talk about that they're doing and then we had a landmark Crawford yell at movement login one of our cochair.

He will be here yeah Coca-Cola Bottling Company helpmeet we have a little bit for everyone no matter what happens right here and let a character leader let so getting back to Terry Lynn is listening to that story, you know, obviously. Maybe next year they can have window panel possess one of the places that you know God really comes after us at those points of need like some of things that she's describing abortion and those kind of things but Terry Lynn. He came after you. At that point of I guess when you lost your husband so can you take us back there little bit what happened. I don't why when driving here and regional car dragracing so hard to believe that worldwide and nationwide many many title planning and whenever I teach and I � I and all I got take out my direction going back in time of the pathway apparent why he hasn't felt on my just shut up our church membership without the baptism of our entire family gather. My daughter is attending that private Christian school: you traveling together because Harry was a retirement agent. He wanted to take the grill for handgun education and now that the best memory treasure in online prostate cancer and back before Bobby about grieving loss because of my age, my sister in law's old time. He was my age hit and run accident while he was jockeying grieving comes in all different from speaking on divorce. Grieving the loss of the relationship. One thing that the all wrong message really wanted to know we are all in this life together grieve differently like in my pocket and like you mentioned before, but a child we are losing, grandparent, child, painful actually beginning to think section of my time and my line at our journey together and our daughter and journey with cancer and the rest of it writing or downtown on the church announcement page on and actually my book was going to be a devotional because I think the cherishing the screenshot and brought each reader I requested compiling how the it all around my arm together so we first Thessalonians 430 when I just need without knowing, speaking, and speaking of that is on listening to Terry Lynn who I just asked if we could also seek to get her back. I'm sorry but I couldn't help but think John that you had a different pathway and and you're trying to head off a lot of this grief, I'm sure that you as a pastor of had a chance to what is it in your pathway that brought such passion about the subject. Well, my background, I have a lot of friends who are involved with abortion ministry well, one time was thought what that looks like and truly felt the grief of watching women going to choose to murder their own children, but I've seen the repercussions that is Wellesley grieve what they've done is their conscience bears witness to what they've gotten the fact that they knew the gospel for any kind of healing that all format and so my passions always been about the gospel and so is a natural thing to go out there and try to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to bear on this issue, both for the healing of those who choose to do this and save the life of the babies that are at risk once was tasked to 200 and is using today's Association of Christian counselors meeting in Nashville and I met with a whole bunch of counselors who dealt in this particular issue in almost every time I met one. I would ask him. You know single things. Chapter 1 says no God comforted us in a way that we could come close with the comfort that he comforted us. How does that play out and so often they'd had something in their own life forgot it comforted them and so like Terry's talking in her book about how she's been comforted through that process. There are so many counselors out there to help folks that have lost child gone through the portion process and have that unbelievable. So we come back we got Jenny and John and Terry so much more with us today.

Jenny Neil is with movement day in Charlotte that's coming up next.

March 16 the Charlotte convention center and John speed was supporting life in the state of New York and so many different ways as well as Terry Lynn Schmidt and she is the author of one dragracing country music Windows attorney and rediscovery, and I would mention Jim pursuits.com you can order her book or find out about the many things that John is doing to support life in the state of New York, but as always you know if you get the book from Terry. You can go on Amazon and review it and was so encouraging the authors to get the kind of thing when you pick up a Christian book realizes person set their life out there and really and I was trying to be obedient to God. What a way we can encourage them by number one by the booking number to go back and then forget that you can get the book, or you can get tickets to movement day. All you have to do is answer this simple little actually is all the more simple I've ever done.

I don't think this.

I wanted people to call in the wind. So after the birth of his first child in the Bible. His life became apparent 866-34-TRUTH 878847 recalling when 866-348-7884. You can win the hundred and $60 with tickets to movement day or Terry Lynn's book, which would be just think I'm the people the that you might have to life that you could bless for that book letter honest as things go along that way. So John, as you you know what I would just say that the you know, having interviewed several people have had abortions over the years men and women. There is unbelievable guilt that goes into that and it is the blood of Jesus Christ encumber that only by the grace of God.

You know that I'm not in that same position somewhere because it would been a point in my life for who knows that that might've come into my life and I would've known what to do and so you know I'm I'm wondering about the healing aspect is that how you've experienced well what I see is people who received the gospel leave their soon as they placed their faith in Christ. Usually what you see in the process of dealing with these women as they have it in them is they have a desire to keep other babies alive lately will be actively involved in being out there and reaching out to two people were considering abortion and so you have a good number of friends who are active out in front abortion clinics doing sidewalk counseling people were involved preaching the gospel on front clinics who are part of their healing is is reaching out in love and with the gospel to people's Legoland and seeing people choose life seem people you'll decide not to bury their baby in and to order to maybe put the baby up for adoption. Some churches that I'm aware of the babies in their church that are there because of Mayo Clinic ministry and there's nothing that's more healing really seeing God work in someone else's life very similar way and when those opportunities are there. It's a beautiful thing. It really is an amazing movie coming out called unplanned you seen the screen around about the lady who was overly abortion clinic in Texas and you know came out of that a Christian and then all of a sudden exactly what you describe. She wanted to tell other people the horrors of what that is, that even you know there's a scene in the movie where she took the abortion pill where you think that that would be clean and easy and when you see the movie, you'll see that as anything but that it's beyond horrible and all that and so she has a chance to really comfort others with the comfort that she's been comforted with me that verse just really seems to come to life and in that particular situation we got. Bill is in Richmond this morning Bill, your kingdom pursuits.

Good morning.

Do you know any of the birth of his first child is like that I'm a parent who might that be changed to simple Joseph yeah his life was apparent at that point in time you want to give him a little bit of trouble. His life became apparent really and then think about poor Jacob, goodness is like a parent of some real shenanigans little twisting and turning on love that I love that will thank you Bill God bless and glad you was not there in Richmond. Thank you. Thank you Robbie yes yes God bless. All right. 12 moving back to Jenny and Jenny. I am wondering like so many folks that find themselves in ministry as you hear that verse about how God is comforted us was or something. He comforted you with that you this thought urology. I need to go out and really take my faith in the streets. Well, there and grateful for audit.

We actually are brought into our family. I got an and Terry has not had and fell absolutely faith avoiding have life, and in getting her entire family and fell my head and I are very passionate about the right thing at life and adoption and honorable children in foster care because of the living out every day four-year-old runs around our house. Bringing joy how different they can make little girls are just helpful to make a wide joy because there's so many families out there that really do what they need and will not take it. Charlotte is only 550 K that are in foster care that here in Charlotte and over 900 and fell just One child and we really can't eradicate problem and are ready to help the rest of the nation after church really uniting out been more clear that this is how they'll know you the way the way you love one another and I love that message that well if there's anything we should love. It's another church right. And it amazes me sometimes the diversity that that's involved in all that but nonetheless God I love this. This idea of coming together and I once had an opportunity to interview some people that were in war-torn Lebanon when all that hit and they said something I've never forgotten said Robbie before the war.

We are really concerned about who was a Catholic and who was a Protestant who was Presbyterian who was Baptist. Whatever is will in this bomb started dropping all that stuff without the window and if we could find sanctuary and anybody's church you know we are running over the bad, and the next thing you know, the Catholics were all mixed up with a Protestant everybody was seeking God. You know similarly. Together they came back under under this complete tragedy, so I hate to see that things like that happen in order for us to get the idea that we know God had community in my set up denominations. We are already we'd like that's that's that's really cool stuff.

I'm so grateful for that and along those same lines, we have Terry Lynn and Terry will actively cut off.

I feel so bad about that but we got your back and well right before the break came so we come back to hear more from Terry Lynn and authors an overview of wind drag racing met country music. So from that from about the movement they come to Charlotte and supporting life in the state of New York. So stay tuned. So much more kingdom pursuits, and oh by the way, if you want to come up with another thing you can win prizes 866-34-TRUTH Jenny Neil with movement day coming Saturday, March 16 Charlotte convention center. There's tickets available. I think it's just movement day of my right Jenny movement day Charlotte.com you can go register and this is coming up next Saturday Sunday all day of the convention center budget includes a meal sometime right wonderful.

So there you go to meals and all those wonderful breakout sessions and speaker so it sounds like an amazing event and what what a beautiful causal. We left our hero Terry weed we had. We just got back to you for second but I was wondering if you were listening to them speak about life that way. Was there any part of that that touched your life.

Terry, I on one side of salvation made efficient agree that that is just overwhelming to an older one, there there different stages of grieving whenever any of us go through a lot older, we all may, as a believer want to clean to the can and lean on him and know that the only way you're going to be able to journey through this life together in some ways it is very wondering in your own journeys that went was there a time where he showed up for you when there was in first or something that literally became what you what you could hold onto it must. Thing I was sure Terry long as we are here on earth and lot. She was talking about, you know, we are going to be under attack fighting again, good and evil spiritual battle whenever I actually lost it. I know that I eye my reaction, I will thank you and believe I just got minds me and sure I come in all that we have no interest. I all right just on the other side. It quickly so it bought all help to keep going on wanted, but then it also show everyone and their passion. I think things that are very precious to me about how it is and I can avoid after all, can someone heart.

There they think I might all come to the final step is a long time that we can we can look forward to you. John is on his. It's obviously either you've been called to be a warrior here in New York for such a time as this. How you do that in love.

You preach the gospel to yourself and always remind yourself of your what you been forgiven know whether you have an abortion or not you know we've all committed great sins against God.

We all broken his commandment, lying, stealing you don't beautiful you look with love to commit adultery in your heart and soul were all equally guilty before God. So keeping that front and center. While there is so important to show some of this fast our bills but I am so grateful to my just John and Jenny and Terry as I would mention if you go to movement day. Charlotte, their kingdom pursuits order Terry Lynn's book when drag racing met country music or find out more about John in his ministry how you might support him his movie all this going on.
