Memories of Hitting the Road

This is the Truth Network sits on you… Hot Rod leg in mind my own.

I is a will be in the car guard. I am not Robidoux were noisily exactly like you people think we look like a dog like a foot shorter and wider. Yeah it was confusing. Brothers from absolutely different mother fathers with every ounce or but that you are welcome to the Christian card. I'm excited to host a Robbie called me early this week and asked if I could host the shallowness of Robbie. You know, I know absolutely nothing year.

The non-Christian Car Guy yeah yeah the Christian non-car guy upon is what you have sent a comfort to say it that way okay I probably by those. I also know you well.

So I called in the reinforcements to help me today. I have friends from the mask of your new radio show prints boot camp and associate of Darren with us today at Carson's with us and Rodney and sort of talk a little bit about some different things, but all revolved around modes of transportation around vehicles. Yeah so excited about you guys excited. I'm ready go finalize.

I mean I always enjoy doing the Christian Car Guy show because you know I am a Christian and I am a car guy.

I'm not the Christian car guy though I'm just a Christian Car Guy guy. I can't tell you we passed military car was also read like spy kids are better car people that it's really sad. We go down the street and in the life it's a did you see this type of car Mike elicits a late 60s Chevy or Ford. I can't pay what it is now stuck it in that era of knowing what the cars were late 60s early 70s but for today we have a couple topics. Throughout their couple questions for you to consider little talk about as well here in the studio at the first question would be what your favorite movie involving a vehicle right now.

I weep like a vacation have to be an adventure missed anything. But we are favorite movie involving a vehicle and the second one would be what are your favorite story about your personal favorite vacation involving a motor transportation could be a car, train, playing whatever boats, motorcycles, so you know you were road trip adventure if you will yeah exactly you either as a child, or maybe with your children or or whatever, but your favorite road trip adventure.

And if you don't have any road trip adventures, then maybe your favorite movie, but you know if you've got a road trip adventure than you know.

We need you to call us. This is a call-in show, so if you don't call in order to be really really boring and so 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

You can call in and we will listen to your favorite road trip story.

I love to hear otherwise enough to hear your guises.

Nonno and mine are pretty hairy at times. Yeah.

Also, look, let's get one started out there would not want you guys pick either movie kind of talk about it or maybe a potential trip he had lied say on the trip side got kind of a compilation is, we just had snow flurries here in North Carolina this morning, which was kind of interesting.

I got up to go to men's Bible study is like oh my gosh it's snowing and it was really weird. Pulled out the garage and Mike something burning something likely had a few little pieces of ashes you like well I start driving on oh, it's kinda happy here Alexi white on the roofs and next thing you know it's there's nothing and then it was really heavy again. By the time we had a Bible study brings about analysis not there so the wintertime stories for me were always fun. I love to go snowmobiling and one of the best trips we had was we would go up to upper Peninsula, Michigan, sometimes in northern Wisconsin and stole Bill and there's me and will my best friends Larry who was we still don't every year together, and then one of his friends from college is that by this time were in college and were like were going to go up and were going to stop somewhere around Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

If that's northern Wisconsin and rented snowmobile all the way up to Copper Harbor to get right onto the lake superior while and come back.

I mean, that's a few hundred miles each way on snowmobiles going through trails and old railroad beds and that you like. We have to get there so that we can get there that night and then get back. Yeah, otherwise you're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah. And we don't know the way you just off all the maps and the trail signs and heads and so we kind of a general idea. This is your pre-cell phone and all I can stuff right so we just take off and the guy that did most living was Larry's friend is lots of good to be the leader in Suffolk like great you just your flying in your driving it out. There's moguls done. This railroad bed that is. I'd say 33 feet deep, traveling 60 miles an hour at least top and those things boo-boo boo-boo boo-boo here in the trails here work. I mean, you worked your tail off to go all the way up there and then it's I Come back the next day we woke up the next morning so so we have to try that hundred mile path now. Oh my gosh it was such a great trip going up while I'm sore I was in the back. I just kinda be lazy.

The next thing you know it is making a turn. I lackadaisical he make it. I let my knee hang out in my knee smacked the tree all talk about pain. I was like all these guys are probably don't have clue so there's going I got.

I can't stop so I'm in agony.

This whole hundreds of miles in the way back and no worse off the bus to tail to get back and it was just it. Talk about fun and adventure because at one time on the way there is always other guises people there climb is big, steep hill was snowmobiles you know and is a man is like not not take mine up there because this is the only mode of transportation were so far away from home at a Larry's body man. He was like I'm going out and he did it. He climbed the big hill and came back down because you don't want to wreck in the middle think you and ask a question we collectively go to color real quick Scott walking to the show. Tell us about your story that you want to share with us.

Second guessing at the right button there again. That's a rookie mistake Scott, welcome to the show tells about your story that you like to share with us the time, including the Time Machine with Rod Taylor go and at the very end of the movie.

One of his friends noted to rebuild the side. He takes three books without like a big wad of the Bible that would be a good choice. I hopefully did as well.

I have not, you may be interested to watch that.

That's 1960s, the Time Machine yeah yeah possible. Thanks for calling. I'm looking forward to watching it this weekend. Okay thank you is will ruddy question for you I bet you felt everyone of those moguls on the way back after he smacked the tree a lot differently nearly as much fun as on the way up the way that was pure agony. I'm excited about the show, consuming its new movies to watch the other movie buffs I'd never heard of that one.

But I need to look that up. I may have watch it when I was younger, but you know soon as we hear a lot older and I am so yeah couple years make a big so another movie for me throwing out there before we going to break if you one of my favorite movies involving a road trip is a movie RV with Robin Williams and I reluctantly rented it a long time ago, my God this is so bad. The girls where the boys will the younger the girls were older one was Artie on the house and so rented it and oh my gosh it was so funny and what was so good about that movie for me anyway. What is it was a story of redemption.

Yeah guy that's all into this world.

You know it, and when he sees horse families want to do this for his family but he so busy at work that you know his whole time along he's hiding that he's working from his family and so you lose a signal is on top.

The RV is a blackberry try to send a great big reporting news Boston and along the way he ends up not being to fulfill his work responsibilities and what ends up happening is, he takes in from of the larger story you know that that's about what the world needs and back into the smaller story of what his family needed and you know it is a great reconciliation of his family through a lot of trials and tribulations in things it could've torn them apart at the end of the day brought them back together. Vacation road trips can do that to you yeah yeah you neither. I remember as a kid a lot of weed. We took car vacations every year, and those are some of my most fond memories and you know we would usually going out West and things like that. Jason lightning storms are running from tornadoes or whatever. Trying to get to the campground, that sort of thing hopefully terminated as a Certificate is right. If you have a story for us. Go to 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 7884 different. It's different. During the show. I love it. It's fun writing thing but it's a lot different come back we'll usually have callers on the masculine, yeah. It's a very different because those questions could get really hard and were not that small town is not on the radio so we hide behind it, but we do have a couple colors on the line to get to the questions we have out there is your favorite story involving a motor transportation like a vacation road trip kind of thing or your favorite movie delving those and so we got a couple colors we get to.

Can't wait to hear this guy this guy. I don't know if I would take his call. Not let us take a chance and see it's it's getting Robbie's let's see who this is probably welcome to show how anybody that caller called in on like your it was well that actually look at Lori yeah right you are older than all of us, you, we would actually like that movie I want to order on a Saturday backdated memory. I was talking talking collar on him anyway.

All of our camping gear packed in the way you would get off at 4 o'clock on Friday and that would not would come out of the feeling of our garage Lord Byron wrote early early a lot happier for construction now that my brother would love on top of the card, on rubber one and my mom would have been preparing air out of probably one month gently go riding up and get around well after dark and down and we wait for it without really nice mommy.

Today we been talking about your favorite movie involving like a road trip of vehicular mode of transportation, trip, or your favorite story on the line. We have a colorful walk until we have Trey give us both to give us his favorite movie and the story so tray welcome to the show have probably all of you. Pertinent work for what the and I really want job not like more real good Christian would recommend it for that reason, but I white-collar side problem might be gone for all the cars really showed all minor and not the new one so that Richie Cunningham and over, probably talking.

I don't know probably what years old.

My goal now have a look at all was so there's another movie. I will check out the stream and then I'll have to look at Bell but probably short years ago we bought a project for restored it from the ground, though our fathers truck.

It was in the world is round and round about, what are you do, what are you always find my head that I really would like our all and all is like I don't understand what's going on when we got where the right of the ground.restoration. We put it was €34.35 the stars will will draw one of the biggest dragstrip motor I got the thing is) the management area we could actually get be tracked live on getting that trailer and plan because were watching other cars are other tribes out there and I worked out all the gorilla in different light this fire right here. We were Mike we didn't have to stop and we had time zone and had a file which is like fire and I was watching the gas gauge literally that we were going. Client why we are a lighter drinking, but it was a really good and it was really good.

You brought a lot of good memories.

You night it was winter project with you about every week you told Elder you poorly. Now that was probably when I was around me.

Probably about 11 or 11.

The court, that's cool. I am glad you did that with you.

That's a cool story. We thank you for your care what you have a great work you will create the encouragement. Yeah man that's a cool story I you know one of my favorite stories growing up was my dad and I rebuild in a truck.

It wasn't because he wears restoring it. It was because I actually took joyriding and corrected made it and destroyed it, and I'm still grounded actually am 50 something years old. I'm still actually grounded to this day for for that little indiscretion but and but yeah rebuild in that truck and everything in and all of that the time spent with dad underwritten on top of it and everything else was no those are days I would never give back. You know, and I love them but we had a lot of trips like that on vacation you know most of our trips.

Some of the funnest times were car breakdowns and you know we'd be out in the middle of nowhere.

Sheila and I just few years ago I was bringing my mom and dad's motorhome back from Arizona to back to North Carolina and so I could get it fixed up and sell it and it broke down on me in Gallup, New Mexico on the side of the road and I spent hours and hours and hours laying on the side of the road trying to get it fixed and other things like that.

But when I bring that part up about your car breakdowns. Some of our listeners have been financially supporting a ministry called Jesus labor of love that that Robbie founded and Bob and Ray and all these guys have been helping with for for so long in such a phenomenal ministry for single mothers and widows, people who were in desperate need to get a car fixed Jesus labor of love puts together men and women who are willing to work on the car free for their labor if we can supply the parts or if the if the car owner can supply the parts and we really need you. If you are a regular listener if you're a first-time listener. If you want to check out Jesus labor of love. We would love for you to to go to Jesus labor of love website or Christian car guy.com website where Jesus labor of love is at and would love for people to donate. We you know are of non-profit ministry and Robbie doesn't get anything. Nobody gets anything out of that ministry at all.

Every dime of it goes right back into helping people and so we would love for you to consider doing that and go to Christian car guy.com and in the feel free to give as generously as God would bless you to do.

That's it such a great cause and such a needed thing. It has a lot of people out there that are struggling with me that help and so anything we can do no amounts to small and just give anything you can and it will row 100% to a great cause and in a row, the godly that it Robbie's heart a few years ago and it's been amazing to see what's what's been happening with that and all the people of rallied around to help write the mechanics from different parts of the country.to help people in need, and we don't ever want to be able to have to say we can help this week because we don't have any money.

Exactly. I was thinking about something I didn't share something. It was 100% the truth that there was little and was one time in my life that for a short period of time I was a car guy all but then you forgot about it. Well, such as shorts. I bought it wasn't said to you. It is about you. I bought a 66 Jeep gladiator from a guy that I worked with his wife and he had. It is interesting car.

I didn't ask a lot about the history because I really didn't want to know because it had some kill lights on it where we kill the taillights without the front lights and I found that out by mistake and I like it. I don't know that I want to know the history of this particular carpet you gave me with. It was a technical manual that told you how to take absolutely everything apart and for the first time in one of the first times in my life.

I had a second vehicle that I didn't have to use to go to work, a lot of my stress and a lot of my troubles with both not be a car guy was I always had to work on things is an emergency to get to work the next day right in this thing I could actually take the manual going to drop the part of the transmission into some worker drop this panel off of it and clean this out to change that or change. This had a low of this was before YouTube yeah right right you to like it is good yeah II could take you step-by-step in man I love doing that. You know it. It was probably just because I never had anyone to teach me along the way in on so was very grateful to have that opportunity to do that so I think there's a little bit a car person and most of us yeah you either admiring or liking to work on… The right situation has to be there for right that's you know hi I my dad bought me 65 barracuda when I was about 14 years old to restore and we never got to finish restoring it because I took that pickup without permission and went out joyriding in total. It basically in the so as part of my punishment then you know I'm still grounded. Obviously, as I said my dad made me sell my barracuda as well to help pay for it course you numbing it is maybe $500 a meter didn't help much but it helped and it and it did hurt my feelings. You know quite badly in if I got the opportunity today to do something like that and I would love to restore an old barracuda with Carson and you know, take a road trip across country you know when something like that.

Yeah it had amazing thing that would be in Atlanta but you'd love to have on those old cars now worth $500. My yeah yeah so for me I'm sure click on a vacation story my vacation story involved a boat. My family and I would go in the first year we did it with just it was just my brothers family and in the second year we did it with all my siblings and we rented a house boat and a hall of the secular Reynolds to houseboats. The great thing about Dale Hollow back in time is a beautiful lake crystal clear water, a beautiful place to be.

But the best place thing about it. The absolute best thing about the place of cell phones didn't work and I was back after cell phones and gotten kind of pretty popular is getting calls for work all the time. It was a time that we could completely check out the on an adventure together and have a lot of fun swimming cooking out here just enjoying each other's company and the funny thing about it is all the kids were crying a little, but if you asking today. Their favorite vacation so I'll tell you exactly the same thing last year they started trying to organize one coming up for the next generation. The bill to do that. So, go to 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 7884. Christian car guy same name and phone info Robbie Gilmore is going to be on his way back in her B convention safe trip back. Yeah, it's a beautiful drive across my 40 this time of the year.

The flowers are starting to bloom. He's coming back from Nashville so is over, they were yeah sure. Yeah, they were in Nashville okay yeah that's here in North Carolina. Flowers really do start a pop this meeting on the dogwood trees in the room so it's it's it's quite pretty, but the wicked have Carson share a little bit on one of your adventures that you had what was your favorite adventure you had on a road trip kind of situation. My favorite adventure was when me, my grandpa, my great-grandmother flew down to Arizona and me and my grandpa drove. We all drove back to Colorado he drop my grandma off in Colorado migrate coming. We didn't mean to. We just lectured a gas station's have that. But then we started we drove all the way back with this red Saturn and we went to so many places we went to I don't even know until Grand Canyon Grand Canyon and the Texas Canyon. We went to Polydor Canyon.

Yeah, that one. We want the canyons, rode horses re-stop that almost every Bass Pro shop or Cabela's you can think of. I got a bow and arrow for my first time.

We apparently spun out while I was asleep in the backseat and Oklahoma or something we didn't really spin out, but we workers and through New Mexico and a like a small mini whirlwind tornado thing you know the dust devils.

One of those hit the car and literally picked it up and moved it in the oncoming traffic to meet you have a little red Saturn sky like that and our Saturday views that in. It was it just I was just cruising along in blue mom and the other layman.

Carson woke up didn't know what was going on.

He was like what what was that neither actually is a story you're sticking with it now is yeah I got other stories. I'm happy to do worse than that person. What was it about that trip that made it special was it just being with your grandfather the venture. What was it that really spoken being able to just be with me and him and connect more and just get on a better just guy is the first really guy trip that when I started getting older.

They went on we always went fishing and stuff now is a lot of fun, but we really really got really close then and it was just amazing. All of those places and all the things he knew and liked seeing how smart he was and how much I need a list of them even on still an idiot and don't listen to them all the time and make very poor decisions.

Our very very poor, like we all this.

It was amazing because he's my idol and I just made me realize how smart he was and how much I really need to understand that these older and wiser and smarter, that I just need to listen to them in the was a cool trip really was. We went to Pike's Peak when it does it on the pikes peak. We did the Jane driver yeah we drive. I couldn't walk up to now I take the trolley. No, no, no we didn't.

We got up to the top and and that was I was really out of breath.

I'm pretty used to being in Colorado and stuff but you know as I get older it's different line lot of people in that stone I goodness yeah Carson, we found out he was scared of the scared crowds or something to he was like, we gotta get out of this place. A lot of people that store my goodness it's so narrow me know that the there's tons of people in the Aaron is you know it's gorgeous but yeah we got to we cruised all the way across the country together and got to hang out and you know eat what we wanted to eat and when we wanted to eat and staying cool hotels and ride horses and stuff in Texas and lots of cool things. It was a good trip and we know we look forward to doing it again partner would not the same car. The car is not in commission anymore broken now. Yeah that's it for got totaled a couple years later. Oh well, it's a love question about food did you wait 98 the top of the world doughnuts at the top of Pike's Peak know that we were. It was so crowded you know that literally we were both just one to get out of there and and you know, go see the scenery were were more about scenery than the stuff you know the boys and I waited. We went on a trip I killed Eli and I went on a trip to Colorado amazing time. I went out to the leather sightseeing stuff you talked about it. We waited in that line at the top of Pike's Peak and realize that what we eat a doughnut at that height it taste just like a doughnut. A lower height at higher altitude is efforts. Yeah, it just creates a little more gas that they kept saying are you trying to find a way and I really don't notice a difference and they are more expensive a lot more expensive.

You know there's a longer line for food is good, so I want to switch gears a little bit as we ring this last segment in and talk a little bit about why is it that these movies speak to your heart. Why is it that these trips are so special that we remember them for years and years and years to come. It's it's adventure right yes the adventuring that the movies they they call up this adventure that is in every man's heart you know we got this craving for a grated to live a great adventure to fight a great battle to live a great adventure to rescue the beauty if you're a man, and maybe to rescue the, the ugly. If you're a woman and so but yeah I mean there's that and then these trips the hard stuff you go through but then the fun stuff in and it's really about the relationship you know because relationship is how God redeems and so as we began to see that it's it's a little glimpse of that redemption story and that adventure of redemption that God uses on these road trips of life.

It is it it it says adventures that make it special.

And you're right it's about the relationship and so will the questions rescue and Rodney were in Scripture we find some of these adventures so that we can take it back to the Bible say when did God take people in adventure well when did me exactly that's that's a way, when did he give some examples of people to talk accurately to whelming that he and Abraham go on the first road trip. I guess you would you would say as he and Abraham you know EE says Abraham what you what you want to go on a road trip and he says yes he didn't have a clue where he's gone, but he goes in. And Moses goes on road trips and you know Jonathan and David and and Joseph is one of my favorite Joseph yeah and Daniel yeah they already guess as to go through a didn't yell into Babylonian captivity and comes out and basically walk through fire and oh my gosh know who is who is that it's in there with them. Now that I may have amazing adventure is funny.

Every single one of those stories has to do with leaving one place typically and moving to another place and just that different environment is a changing factor and it's a redemptive thing. It's God you know getting to the core of of relationship and its relationship with with God all of Jesus's ministry, for the most part. As he walked on the earth was really just a long road trip right here. The group of guys going from place to place preaching the gospel doing works, but it was continually going from one place to another, and so this whole part of adventure is hardwired into us. As you said you in it, but it's adventure with God, and that's important thing is to take the time into going is adventures with God, and some are not always comfortable. Are they different now. All my goodness you know when God has taken me on several adventures and I wouldn't be here North Carolina if it if it weren't for God kind of enticing me to come here you know I I grew up out in the Southwest and moved to Ohio and began my first ministry as a as a pastor in Ohio then to Tennessee and then now to North Carolina been here for 20 something years, but every single one of those was God stretching me and taking me in a different way it is and that's a story that we could all share. When we look back at the life we had in the clarity that we get from looking back, special, and God gives us the clarity when we look back and say well that's what you're doing you got your taking me on this adventure to help me grow help me heal through storm in ways that I didn't even know insolence will encourage you to do this week is Look back and say good when did you take me on some adventures and what did I learn from them and how did users in my heart and what you preparing me for right now what adventure you calling me to that I might be afraid to go take in and I encourage you to say okay got. I would step out in faith with you. Not sure were going not sure how were going to get there.

Thank you for going to get there but knowing that since your taking me to get there together. See next week. You're listening to the truth and TruthNetwork.com a call to prayer in a sober reminder of life's frailty and the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and eight others this weekend, Jerry Stu Epperson, author of the book last words of Jesus, you, me, the whole world was shocked.
