My favorite little thing it has on it says mom I love you loads and it has this picture. The longer you know in the picture my mother the car, the 1920 8/4 and where might we might hear little bit from that 1920 8/4 on today's show, but we want you to win a certificate we watched a win the last words of Jesus. We simply got this scavenger hunt and this is where the work. If you ladies and and by no means am I being condescending here because I fully realize that there lots of ladies out there that could teach me a lot about mechanics because what I've had lady technicians before they could rebuild transmission stuff I could never think about doing so may met in any way shape or form but I do get a lot of emails from single moms, widows, families like that that are struggling with how to do certain things. I thought it be fun to do this scavenger hunt and just some stuff that I really feel like we all should know how to do Seton Hall in 743 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and just to give you some EZ that you could tell us how to find it. Just give us a brief description of what it is that I'm saying I want to define and how would you go about in your car if you lifted under the hood or whatever it is I'm describing how would you go about finding it. And then what would you do when you found it. So the first one which is really easy. It may not be easy but you know in your situation may be more difficult with calling and when that first one is the engine oil dipstick so you moms out there. This is your chance to win the certificate and the last words of Jesus call and tell us how would you find in your car. The engine oil dipstick at legacies. The synthetics that there is more than one dipstick underneath that, there you go 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and win the engine oil dipstick where you find that and again I didn't say the transmission dipstick or the power, strength of dipstick yet, but I I'm talking about the engine oil dipstick. We have lots of lines of them will enjoy when color should the degree to be drips off the end there you go, working to get to that 866-34-TRUTH 87884. And speaking of mom's right we we we have a Jesus labor of love me that I want to describe for you here in a minute here to help me. As you may have Artie noticed we have a good friend, Bill Mixon and you got some special for moms today to write so easy. Moms can do it, maybe even dads to while Henry Ford said no problem is too complex. If you just break it down into small enough part I like it so easy. Moms can do it and even easy enough for that. That's pretty cool. So Morgan to hear that from Bill here in a minute and then I wanted to speak to this.

You know, we at the Christian Car Guy shall have this ministry at this the first time you continue on and what the world will besides talk about cars and things like that. We have a ministry for single moms families in crisis across the country were people can go on Christian Car Guy.com and merits as Jesus labor. 11 they can click on a application and then we try to help them with that need.

Originally we would just try to help them with the labor, but then later we got a company that would help us with the part some and now we have two or three companies that help us and also occasionally we have a need this just so huge that we will like today go on the air and talk about you know that need and see if somebody out there wants to donate to that and so if you go to Christian Car Guy.com you'll see there's an easy button to donate right there will you guys have been so phenomenally generous in the past affect was about a month ago there was lady Las Vegas situation.

She had a special needs child. She had to take every week to the to the doctor to help her swallow. She had a feeding tube and all these things in her car was a blown head gasket as I recalled an and I made a request in and people were so generous. If you could only those of you who gave I just wish you could've heard the tears on the phone when I called her and told her how much we'd raised in that she was able to meet that need of the Lord met that need for her and one of the coolest things I always get to do and it's it's really it's really fun. Bill is I get to play with these ladies and and yesterday I had a technically difficult one, and Solomon mentioned that one on the air today to give people a chance to sell into this lady's life if you like to know some of those things her husband was in seminary five children and he decides to divorce her and leave seminary all the same time you think about it. Satan is going to come after you know a guy when he puts it target on his back and says I want to step up to be a pastor and so we he leaves his wife.

These five children. She is so destitute with you know she's been taking care of the kids that that she has no income, no source of job. The seminary itself has taken her into try to help her, but then the transmission goes out in her Ford vacant.

I'm not my. For I mean, the transmission goes out, and so yesterday I was just dumbfounded with this need and immediately started playing with her because it's way more than our ministry.

Usually wheat you know we can get parts but we can't get a hold transmission that comes and and so we still have the need for the labor but fascinatingly, the Lord provided help with the transmission a lot. We found a use transmission yesterday. We actually had that not that transmission donated and so now we need help with the labor she needs help and so if you want to donate to this lady's cause again. We have no administration costs at all with the Jesus labor love. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, but since it's all volunteers. Every time that you give will go to that particular need that you select. There you go to Christian Car Guy.com or if you want to mail and then we can certainly do that. It's called the Jesus labor of love 238 sorry as a you are a Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27107 and so moving along. We got Martha is in Charleston Indiana Rosa Charlestown Martha, you're in a Christian Car Guy show this morning. How are you I am so excited to play this cavern. Yeah I hear you, great. I'm so excited to play the scavenger hunt with you. Is it Charlestown Indiana or Charleston. While that is cool I like that so encrypt Charlestown Indiana. Our first question for Armand scavenger hunt and I'm very excited to make out the certificate for you is, where do you find in your car. The engine oil dipstick are now you are exactly right and what kind or yeah and it's good of Suzuki to label that in and it's very common. A lot of the manufacturers these days do label the engine oil dipstick yellow so if you see a yellow one under there and it says engine oil on it.

That's usually pretty good clue yeah and then you know the big question you cannot but ask yourself is how you read it, which I'm sure you can do right.

Martha did your father show you that are how to learn where you are I'm out. I watched you come upon the secret to discipleship is to ask you know it's hard to humble ourselves to ask questions in order to actually talk about that banner appraisal by the real black book that I love that. And yes, you can stop at any parts store a lot of places and you asked the question how you do that is also in your owners manual, which again I given a link in Christian Car Guy.com is a really important people get their owners manual because then after you find out if you're low it's real important to put the right kind oil in it and all of you noticed it Martha but there's like 50,000 different kinds of motor oil and so get the right one is also kinda critical. Martha, I appreciate you calling the women so much and have the next question on the master mom scavenger hunt coming up after this place, so get ready to call in 866-348-7884. How many of you remember my mother.

I don't think it left, but with even 1/2%.

For me it was a great show in there for you but are you the room and I remember it.

I didn't know that I can back in the name it actually was a 1928 Porter and I on the master mom Christian Car Guy certificate have a picture of that 1928 Porter and so today I'm a Christian. Cargile show we are in search of master mom's and we want to make you certifiable little we have our so easy. Mom can do it scavenger hunt and every winter this morning wins that certificate plus Stu Epperson's book the last words of Jesus or the CD you have your choice of the music track that goes along with it and were on our second item of the scavenger hunt and so we did really well on the engine oil dipstick zealots. Now you do in the next the next one is the engine coolant reservoir. Where do you find on your car and what is that the engine coolant reservoir 866-34-TRUTH 87884 you master moms out there. I know you your your load not, we would love for you to calling and when it's the engine coolant reservoir. How do you find that on your car. 866. Got lots of lines open. Come on guys 866-34-TRUTH 87884 bill you got some some easy stuff for us right where I was thinking when you told me that our wonderful topic today that I've got the privilege to go into our local jail and teachers share on a regular basis and one discussion I particularly enjoyed to have with the man is a discussion on how difficult it is to dismantle and reassemble an old model T not ask him if somebody came to us and offered us a couple thousand dollars would you fellas be willing to help me move an old model T from this room were in through the doorway and set it up in another room and invariably everybody says yeah that we can do that. I said wonderful melt. When we show up tomorrow morning to do the us we find, it's already been disassembled and all we have is one great big pile with mixed up parts.

How much harder is our job, then you see lots of jaws drop lots of headshake. I say okay we got manuals of the room with got tools of the hear what should we do first. And I remind them that Henry Ford said no problem is too complex.

If you just break it down into small enough parts and invariably somebody says what we need to sort it. I said wonderful what should we do first and invariably we move all the really big parts over into the next room first we go ahead and we put together the chassis and we start put none the fenders and we get the wheels put together. I said I really believe that once we get into the us that our problems going to hit when we start stacking together all the transmission parts and we start stacking together all the carburetor parts, but in this day and time.

Does anybody think that we would have trouble using the Internet to find somebody that would love to come in and give us some advice on how to put together an antique transmission and find someone else that would love to come in and help us put together antique carburetor and everybody agrees. It probably would not be too difficult.

There's help out there, but we've got to be able to articulate exactly what it is we need and we need to be able to ask it in such a way that somebody understands, and we need to offer them the opportunity to do something that's not going to cost them too much. But most importantly that we can frame it in such a way that they don't expect this to be coming back over and over and over again. But if we can meet that criteria.

With the help of God and some prayer. Most problems are solvable with a little bit help and again he gets back to that kind of situation if we ask if we have the humility to ask questions, and it's interesting even of God.

That's what discipleship is is you know with Matthew 28 says, go ye therefore know talk about an appraisal by the real black ye therefore make disciples will disciples are learners and how can you be a learner. If you don't have any questions. We got Terry is in Mountlake Ter., Washington. She knows where the engine coolant reservoir is on our second journey on our scavenger hunt good morning Terry welcome the Christian Car Guy ship. There hello Terry hello good morning Laurel, I am so excited to play the scavenger hunt with you and your I all that I say that Mountlake Ter., Washington right that sounds a little later you're up early this morning and I you sound like a master mom, especially if you can tell me where the coolant reservoir is in your car.

What kind of car you have Laurel that's a neat car.

And how do you get to your engine coolant reservoir.

I can't yeah it's probably kind of a white plastic looking bottle like and is there some color involved in how you can kinda tell how your coolant doing Michael and so for a lot of us. We have green antifreeze or green engine coolant and so when you're looking throughout clear green yet.

It's sort of a whitish bottle and when you look through that bottle and you see that green then you know you know kind of the level of your antifreeze, because if you don't have enough overheating is one of the reasons Terry that so many people lose inches is they don't they don't watch their coolant. So when you get under their new. I guess you get the fuel in your check and your oil like art previous call had it's a great thing to look over there and see on that white bottle which again will be explained in your owners manual the level now some people have orange coolant. General Motors cars have orange sometimes, but there's usually a color involved in so you can look through that white plastic bottle and kinda get a level coolant so great job Terry you are a master mom will tell me about your kids grown so well. My garden. How many children do you want one and my favorite, that is, that is so cool.

Thank you for calling Jerry. We have our next episode of our schedule coming up at 866-3478 84 and thank you for plaintiff or get up early this morning in Mount Ter., Mountlake Terrace? No. All right, so much more Christian Car Guy is yelled, upstaging know you're talking to your mother Toledo gasket and we are today on the master mom so easy.

Mom could do it scavenger hunt and we would love for you to call in with our next item on the scavenger hunt 866-34-TRUTH 87884 to tell us where do you find on your car. The brake fluid reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir on your car, 866-348-7884 we have the master mom Christian Car Guy certificate which you can see their Christian Car Guy.com that's very cool. We would love to get some of those out to you as well.

As the book last words of Jesus or CD. There is a music track and if you'd rather have the CD by all means, and it's absolutely amazing.

I love the songs on it.

We quite often use them here on the show again this next item on our list is the brake fluid reservoir where you find that on your car. What is it look like what you do with it. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 we got lots of lines open and we we know that some folks called in the last one and you can get a chance or why not call us back. We would love to have your own 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and you know I the reason I bring up these first two wishes. The engine oil and the coolant as those of the number one and two things that we see in the Jesus labor love and other things that cause major major difficulties in our people have this really really expensive repair that would've been so easy of data just checked their oil changed on time. That kind of thing but a lot of times it is granted out of oil and you know when you run a car with three courts for a while. It won't take long, and the engines gone or the other one being the coolant and so we we got those two, but another thing, obviously from a safety standpoint because all cars don't have a brake fluid you know light. They do have a pressure like when it gets a lien amount of pressure, but they all the necessary eternal life because her low on fluid and you know that's pretty scary things where you find the brake fluid reservoir 866-348-7884 I know you love the certificates got some really cool stuff in the light comes on to say sooner or later you need to decide that it lashes when it's really critical, or should you do something when the light first comes a that's word Bernie five comes in and you gotta nip it in the bud.

How often do you think people should check the dipstick well it's at least every thousand miles well but for some people. They really need to check in almost every time I change the oil. Old red, for example, I know not having have a car for 3 to 90,000 miles, you know, about seven or 800 miles. It will use about 1/2 quart of oil, and I like to keep it at the top but my wife had a Dodge Stratus that would burn a court oil every thousand miles it just would and it was actually normal for a car to do that sometimes. And this is kinda good for and so you know, if you drive 3000 miles and you reject your oil, there's a good possibility got a problem on my help, my daughter's car. At least you know every couple weeks ago after you has the smallest because you just can't let it in that you never know when one's gonna start to burn oil even though it never has in the past. So that's it. Now it's a critical thing and it's an easy thing to do at but in a sometimes you get asked those questions right now.

It didn't do you do it before you cranked it, or do you crank it in and let it run a little bit, or do you do it after you've driven 500 mile. All the above all it can do it either way, you don't you don't actually want to check that you check transmission fluid lifetimes of the car running, but the engine oil car isn't supposed be running while you're actually checking the oil but it you know it's you can go out there first thing in the morning. It actually gets really good level because, all drift stabbing him to see exactly how much oil is in and is cool like that or you can get here on a road trip and you've driven, you're on vacation and Eunice drove another 500 miles. I highly recommend that you you pull the dipstick. It would be hot down there.

There and you name I want to take a rag with just for that very purpose. And so you know that's one of those things that check in oil. Check the coolant level all man I can't tell you how many people blow head gaskets because didn't realize that that stuff evaporates over they might have had a small leak all sorts of different things. When we got Joan is in Chesterfield, Virginia. She's given tells about our brake fluid reservoir Joan you're on a Christian car guys show good morning what Joan you have children well.

Would you mind telling us about a mess. Probably them for my mom standpoint, there's nothing more important than that is there you go there so it tells about your children daughter@grandchildren yet. Now that actually is on my certificate. I had a lot of fun getting all these little sayings yesterday, but it says the very bottom my certificate. PS mom I hear that the best moms get promoted to grandma. So Joan, what kind of car you have condo court wonderful car used to sell them so how do you check your brake fluid right little bark break yeah exactly line and dark and that but that at the very and when you open the hood of the car and you you the very front of the car will be the radiator and I like the windshield comes down to the body of the car is called the firewall and there is good reason for that because the engine would catch on fire. You don't want that to get into the pasture compartment so there there on the firewall is that box you talking about, which is actually the brake master cylinder and above the brake master cylinder is that little again, another clear plastic usually most cars white reservoir. It's like a it's like a bottle, but it's a little more square on a Honda Accord and likely like you described has that little line now one of the things that you really when it comes to brake fluid I have seen people spend a fortune because they put the wrong kind of brake fluid in the car or because they put something other than brake fluid or other types of hydraulic fluid right that's where you again. The owners manual comes in or unite something from somebody authorized to tell you what kind of brake fluid cheese because there is all sorts of little very complicated rubber items that are in a brake system that keep the pressure where it's supposed to be in the wrong kind of fluid messes with ceiling properties that rubber sometimes even makes it expand so it's a critical thing on number one to check it obviously, but also to make sure what exactly the right time back in and and it's another place where we gotta be humble enough to say I don't know much about brake fluid. Let me find out what I need, but Joan you are a master mom and I'm so also we are going to send you out that certificate and and and student so thank you very much for calling today. God bless you, thank you got a wonderful me to, and may you have a wonderful one is in fact we need to haven't been doing that they'll haven't been notes on the ready to have a wonderful Mother's Day. I'm very excited about that. To be able to offer that to mothers because O that they play in our lives. It's absolutely huge so rough try next item on our scavenger hunt and so this one is where you find that you don't always find the battery there because we don't necessarily jump cars anymore with the battery. But isn't it is important to know where are the battery terminals and where would you jump start your car if you needed to. So if you will open up the hood of your car. Where would you find the battery terminals 866-34-TRUTH 878849 talk about how to jumpstart a car little bit along those lines to but we want another mom to when we got lines open. We would love to hear from you. 86634878848663487884 and builders there some easy stuff insurance wise that people need to take care of two well, I've had some friends recently that it had to go take care of other thoughts that were so seriously ill that it was a challenge and I've met lots of people that they they ended up being left executor of the estate and it'd been years signed over two years since it closed at the estate not talk to him and a lot of times it centers around the fact that if you get pulled into the situations there's nobody that can tell you where all the important papers are have you taken the time to put together a notebook or a file and shown where your will is in your healthcare power of attorney in your living will and your insurance papers in your life insurance contracts and unite a lot of people have different banks and different accounts in different banks. He had a list of where all your accounts are your savings are and then you are on encouraging to take the time and to get a manual for whoever's got it all right call us with that location of the battery terminals 866-34-TRUTH 878-8474 Russia happy Mother's Day guys are happy Mother's Day weekend. They we are having fun today with our so easy. Mom can do it scavenger hunt and that we've been that we had lots of winter so far and you still have time to win. If you can call in and tell us how to find the battery terminals on your car. Where would you jumpstart your car 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH and you can win the master mom certificate and your choice of either Stu Epperson last words of Jesus book or CD and again this is another critical thing I think all the moms out there. You know, there's nothing worse than being stuck in a parking lot somewhere and not knowing how to jump your car not have jumper cables what's involved in that.

We would love to have a master mom: I know you think we got lines open 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and we got plenty of time for you to call any man, but we want to move toward appraisal by the real black book.

That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure. Cry out for discernment, lift up our voice for understanding, and as we been talking about questions throughout the show. You know it is interesting. Last week I did this masculine journey regular boot camp. In fact rely from there last week as I was preparing to do several talks there. I was praying and God clearly put it on my heart. He said if you want to have answers. You've got to ask questions and I thought that's really interesting in my asking do I am I'm humble enough to see release of the things I'm struggling with in my life for these in this place and some really feel like I'm not succeeding or am I messed up my family. Whatever my asking the hard questions. So interestingly it's in the God kind gave me this theme and I was doing some research on Ransom heart for his mother talked something to do there some wonderful resources.

By the way Ransom heart ministries.

There was a talk by a man by the name of Morgan Mary and he talked about when he first came Brandsmart ministries John Eldridge is ministries of the women wrote wild at heart. He was so excited with John Eldridge in all his teaching that he kinda plopped down his office one day and he says I need to be your disciple I what I need to do to be your intern, how is it that I follow you I that's just what I feel like I need to do with my life and John Eldridge said something I thought was that profound wisdom and it can almost took my breath.

What he said well if you're going to be a disciple what your questions and the more I pondered that over the week. It's one of those things that you get down in your heart you know how, what, in my humble enough to admit that I'm struggling with and and maybe that is where the battery to your car or or maybe it's with the finances or maybe in and so if I'm to be a disciple of the Lord than in my asking him am I going to God with those tough questions and it's an interesting thing that men need to know that we have what it takes and we have a lot of questions that we need a father for an I came across this phenomenal letter to Ben Franklin from an Indian tribe in Virginia that spoke about fathering a level I wonder if the Christian church could really put their arms around us and here's what happened that the Virginia colonists were offering an Indian tribe that they could educate the bigots in the one of their colleges and really get them some understanding of their culture which the Indians responded to Ben Franklin in this letter they said. Several of our young people were formally brought up colleges of the northern provinces.

They were instructed in all your sciences, but when I came back to us. They were bad renters ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger. Neither how to build a cabin take a deer or kill an enemy. They spoke our language imperfectly were therefore neither fit for hunters, warriors or counselors were totally good for nothing. We are however not less obliged by your kind offer that we declined accepting it in the show are grateful sense of it.

The gentleman of Virginia will send us if you would send us a dozen of you, bear sons, we will take great care of their education, instruct them all. We know and make men of them that that speaks to so much of you know, I know it's were talking about Mother's Day but as a man there certain things that I need to know how to use a knife. I need to know how to build a fire.

I need to know how to check my oil. I need to know where my battery terminals are and fortunately for us, we have a lady here to tell us. Janice is in Chester, South Carolina Janice you're on the Christian Car Guy sugar more than I am so excited to talk to you and have had you have children, Janice, you may be 35 years old.

Make absolutely wonderful well tell us about what kind of car do you or Chevy Malibu I do I know about that car and think that there's a Chevy Impala out in the parking lot that that it probably is very similar set up for your battery terminals. How do you find most find out the electrical wires that are attached to the top of my battery. You're exactly right. Yeah, some cars it's really easy because you to say all of that looks like a big battery) then you see there's a there's a big red wire that would be the positive that table and then there's the black one so when you go to jump your car. Could you take us religion well battery cable to carry them in my cart apart like they think it and I sat right to the red black to the black one, all will I get electricity that is absolutely wonderful and I you are a master mom Janice I can tell you that right off but there's a couple little things I want to mention this is safety precautions to everybody when you jump a car.

What people don't realize is that discharging batteries put off hydrogen gas that that's see the part of what the electrolysis is it makes the electricity is the date they create hydrogen and sometimes batteries the discharge have hydrogen so if you connect that black cable which is the negative cable to the actual battery that can cause a spark that will actually explode that gas and sometimes because people lose their eyesight. People have even been killed. So it is highly recommended.

I'm sure that was every owner's manual tell you never hook up the black battery cable to the battery which need to do is find anything that is a grounder, so any real good bolt that's on the side of the car. Whatever would should be a good ground for you, but it's dangerous to actually attach the negative battery cable to the battery on the car. The church that you're trying to start now. It's okay to. I don't even do it though on either court but the black like she said and the way to remember that is, you know it.

Negative means there's nothing Marinette, leads the black and so you black. The black black on the there's some cars don't have read cable you will read it first. You want hook up the red which is the positive and again. Sometimes you'll see a big + on the top. The battery post was, you know, always read the sometimes the post itself is read to tell you that that's the positive side and you can hook that up when you go for the negative side, and there you just looking for a ground on the car that your that you're going to jump in the ground them and so for me personally.

I will hook it up to the negative side of the car that has a good battery but on the car that I'm begun jumpstart. I will look for something to grant because I wanted to blow up and I want anybody to get hurt, especially you ladies out there so that's pretty cool. Janice and one other thing I would mention is that Michelin makes an interesting set of jumper cables that you can find online that you don't have to figure out which is read which is black but you still have to thank you for listing as a Christian Car Guy show. Thank you, Janice. I appreciate income and happy Mother's Day God bless you and happy Mother's Day to all of you out there and you know as we think about this discipleship, you know, I wonder about the hard questions that you might ask God, remember the Jesus labor love ministry to single moms widows families in crisis in the when I mentioned today that really need your help to go to Christian Car Guy.com and find that and of course there's all sorts of wonderful resources there along the lines of what we talked about. Remember, slow down. Jesus walked everywhere he went. All done in 33 years. Again, happy Mother's Day and thank you for listing the Christian Car Guy ship
