Welcome to the Christian car guy radio show talk show dedicated to helping Christians buy and sell cars by the book blue book.

Now the orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the Christie car guy with your questions. 1-866-421-8663 for 87884 as being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out. Here's your host Robbie Gilmore. We are going to be so amazed that what we hear today on the Christian car guys show. I know I can hardly wait to hear. That's because you're going to be sharing your amazing prayer repair story.

Yes today on the Christian card I show we are asking you to call in and share your prayer repair on the air that time the car started to hesitate and you are about 40 miles from an accident jerked and all man what happened but you prayed and miraculously the car repaired itself. Or maybe it's a lot of money you've told you needed a transmission and you prayed and somehow it turned out to be wire or maybe a three cent clip, it could've been that time, you are sure you are out of gas. But God did. Let your shoes where the desert and you still grow 4050 yes were asking you to call in and share your prayer repair on the air this morning 866-348-7884. That's 866-34-TRUTH 87884 or for the visually gifted 866-34-TRUTH and here to help me this morning that preceptor of prayer, the shepherd and share him Smith, Jerry Mathis, our Christian body shop guy from his body shop record service Jerry, I would imagine you have a prayer repair that would curl her hair. I'll tell you why like that introduction. On the way to go with.

Yes, certainly we can think about some things that I've run across over the years between the body repair and also the towing industry that were certainly God's hand was in the repair and we need to we need to. I know it's so amazing when I hear the stories about how God came to your aid. You did know how you're going to get through it. But God didn't you call us at 866-348-7884's number to call and we got plenty lines open. We need to hear your story, 866-348-7884. Then at the end of the show in our appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure.

Cry out for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding back in 2009 I was on the G.

Gordon Liddy show and he and his producer were perplexed. I thought how could God be interested in anything is made mundane as buying a car, even more so would God be interested in somebody who turned a ranch. I thought you would find I saved that show and I thought you guys might find this soundbite thought-provoking. Well we discussed this email in Rob Lisa's dear G-man I have heard Robbie show and it's pretty neat question. Do you think there is a moral necessity for me as a Christian to buy American-made cars. My husband thinks that if it isn't a Ford or Chevy.

It's just not right. I love my Camry and would like another one. Well I don't know. I think God is probably neutral on the subject of what car you buy the question if you don't mind, just because I see what the subject of your shows are Franklin raffia producer people call you for advice on car repair as well and then you have sort of a Christ centered approach approach to repairing automobiles. Well I ask because I guess I'm I'm an amateur diesel mechanic. My work on a lot of marine engines and I just I'm just fascinated how you incorporate worshipful existence with the field of trader trade which involves often a lot of cussing soon so your relationship with your Lord and Savior guides your work while you're doing it as well. Are you thinking are you thinking prayerfully of him and his life and his commandments and his relationship with you as you execute all right. How would you answer that question. What will you know if if you had here on the national so would you.

Gordon Liddy and his producer, what would you say that your can hear my answer and work in a talk about some thoughts about all that come at the end of the show.

Our appraisal by the real black book. I am Robbie Gilmore, the Christian car guy 35 years in retail the car business, but more importantly your brother in Christ, the Christian card I shall change the way people look at their cars. They need to be paid for no debt watching people buy cars for 35 years going of the slavery of huge amount of debt limits a heartbreaker. If you're the one sitting there and cars need tender loving care they need a name like old Britt you think about it. You see tractors a been on the element since the 1940s there still run and why do you think what truth is.

If you maintain a car at last as long as you do cars need to be safe and driven safely. Wear your seatbelt. It's amazing that Jerry, 85% of the fatalities are caused by people not wearing a seatbelt. And yet people still don't get the message and don't speed if you're truly following Jesus. In other words, if he's driving in the car ahead of you and I would you be blown right behind question always asked.

But it's estimated that Americans waste 200 million gallons of gas a week to get that number right in your mind. 200 million gallons of gas a week are wasted on speeding and so we always talk about that where you doing to combat that in your world.

Again, this is live show. So if you have any questions or comments suggesting we would love to hear this morning today were talking about.

Share your prayer repair numbers.

We would love for you to call in for that time that you didn't have any idea, and in it, it doesn't hurt if it didn't have to do necessarily with the car. We want to hear about Jesus. We want to know what he due to stepped in and saved her bacon, 866348788486634 truth I give you a brief example here's mine.

I was back when I own the dealership. One night, I'm on my way home is dark is like 9 o'clock and all of a sudden I hear that familiar flap flap flap flap of a flat tire in the car, leans to the left and I'm like oh no, I got a flat tire. Here I am on the dealership. I have a flat tire of all things. I'm between Marksville.

For those of you familiar with the area between Marksville and Clemens is probably sick.

I'll where there's not annexed and I get out to change my my flat tire, which hopefully am capable of when I go to the back of the car and watch a video that I was at I go back to the back of the truck to get spiritual grant and guess what one of my salesman is stolen. My spirit there in.

There is no spare tire right. The ox is in the ditch here because there's no way it's dark I'm I'm 6 miles from exit and I got no time and I'm thinking oh man. And so what would you do Jerry.

What do you do when you don't have any other answer you better be praying and I don't. I just sat there and I said, Lord, look where we are with this is a good you know I'm I'm out here is always good to know that you got a call with look where we are and literally. I still don't believe you know some of those things I can't even believe it with my own mind. Although I know I prayed it before I open up my eyes. I heard the crackling of tires behind me somebody pulling up and this guy pulled up.

I've never seen before cents. He said you need some help as well. As a matter fact you know, I kinda do and he gave me a ride to the next exit unit just like of a messenger from heaven just an angel that came by gave me gave me a ride. We know you have a story that you are dying to share about how God came in and saved in a situation like that that's what rest did you call in and share your prayer repair 866-348-7884's number to call in 866-34-TRUTH the lines of starlight now but we need your call. Please testify let people love to hear these.

It's amazing by the way, if you want to hear more this year after going to the Walmart you think all man I gotta go drop my son off the football game. I want to hear what Robbie said to G.

Gordon Liddy will guess what you can go to Christian card. I.com later today. The podcast will be there as well as all information about the show hundreds of articles about good stewardship. It's all their Christian car guy.com as well as a Jesus is labor of love. Great program really is. And every week I get a blessing when I hear how the Lords jumped in and help these ladies and share with their prayer repair and it's free car repair labor for single moms and widows across the country. We've got to Larry in Snow Camp.

He's got a prayer repair to share with this you calling with years 866-34-TRUTH Larry what you got for us about a 24-year-old white motorhome that I called the white goat and my wife and I were traveling around the country and pulled into a cold blue and the motorhome completely quick motorhome you can't tell until we get great large situation. I called the towing company and that it was covert nature ritual life and got it all hundred and $50 more back on the road which was really amazing and I didn't up to our sitting use this motorhome and what does this kind of backed up as the total lady saying excuse me, sir. You got in your clothes all well. We need you to share your prayer repair like Larry Hollis, 866-348-7884 got so hard I shall come up you call it a success, but God showed an it it this seems like there's no but then also there can be.

That's what we want to be sure today, 866-348-7884's number to call in again some of your digitally gifted and you got stuff you can do it. It's 866-34-TRUTH and you know that's what we would love. We certainly have lines open and we need you to call because it is such a blessing. It was a near encouragement from somebody else and they were God's answer prayer and stepped in and be in court.

Somebody else may be going through what you would going through. Prior to that experience.

Now we just had Larry, Connie and and and he talked about that he brought up a good point that that you you know Jerry also has not only raised body shop at wrecker service when you're a motorhome and then put 30 feet or whenever a tow truck is a situation as an offensive situation and then he brought up the point of having a motor club that goes back to what we talk about a lot is just the preparation being prepared. Know who you going to call when situations like at who's in repair your vehicle. If it's local or when you're on the road. It's important to have motor club and especially if you have others motorhome is because, as he mentioned, it would not be out of the realm of possibility.

Somebody tiptoe 15 miles have been a couple hundred dollars payout to get that down because of the type of truck that has to do it and it is not that small record says be a medium duty a large duty wrecker and is just an expensive proposition. I haven't motor club really talk much about that but that was certainly an answer prayer because that would've been a lot of out-of-pocket money. If you're in a situation like that having a motor club is really is a good plan as far as telling his state's Coleman in a situations handle now Jerry you know a lot of situations and every single day and you know that question asked country Gordon Liddy. I can't help but reflect on that. Do you guys actually pray about some of the bodywork that should be absolutely and and and you know so many customers are coming in and it is kind of neat being on the back end of it you have somebody to step in and when it come to pick the car up and tell you about what they appear that they had an and in a struggle. I struggle they were dealing with when they share that with you and it just really just a minute. It makes it worth the extra effort that you do as I told you during the break we had middle-age woman I had some small kids in the family was Yucatán was struggling. We wrote the estimate at the body shop, probably six months prior, and it wrote it up and we told her that if there's any way we could save money when the roots got rid do repairs because you don't have to do a close call wouldn't pass inspection and and it wasn't that it wasn't unsafe but it wasn't really what you need to be out in the road in a minute. One of the doors what Martin had climb across the sea that the lights and stuff warned quite what they needed to be a bit from the server mission impossible for me.

You know, so she brought it is any way to save any money whatsoever try to do what you can do well when you're in the process you call to get prices for flights of the part when you call back and no you were to purchase an apartment. A lot of times I gathered himself and in our estimators. Dale and Emil say you don't have his corners. Anyway, you can save anyone save any money to sell the apartment capable when the end of the day came. They did that we got the force interested save any money to help this woman out Bobbitt 109 which is so there you know he's great at that. Well into the day wind up saving her a few hundred dollars. She came in to pick up the car course was a lot less than what she is expecting a bit safe in the play.

She just broke down in tears is how much you been playing it is that there be a way that this happen anything. This is almost exactly what I need, but she was short on the house payment and needed that said needed by groceries but that was just an answer prayer non-REM to be able to see that you know sometimes when you are in the workplaces as you abandon myself to lose focus of that you know how God works through situations and are able to use use raised body shop in wrecker service or lobby deal more whoever it is, as it is a tool to answer prayers.

And that's pretty cool when you're able to experience that. Absolutely. And that and that's what we're asking you that you know you got the story you said not you think and I can try calling the other. We got lines and lines open here folks, Calling a share 63487884's number to call and we know that God is bailed you out of some and you don't how you can encourage other people's faith today is that there listening on my aunt showed up maybe to pray about this situation.

I never thought about that I'm in this in this difficult situation. I need to be pray and 866-348-7884 wagon share one that you know it's it's related to a repair. I had the situation we have the situation of the Jesus's labor love that free car repair for single moms and widows across the country well we had a backlog that was unbelievable in Charlotte North Carolina and we had like seven moms on the waiting list and we only had one place down there do repairs so I was down there about two months ago and is about six months. Time flies and I had to go start calling on our repair shop so I got on Google you know and prayed a lot actually pray Lord you got God needed somebody you will and I googled all these prairie places. I mean all these repair places, trying to figure out who had the best reputation whose closest to where all the single moms and widows were called and you know that would be a good convenient location and I came across Alomar on it look like it was right where I needed it to be. Everything was perfect and so they were the first place.

I called on that morning I went in and I said Robbie Gilmore, the Christian car guy we help out single moms and widows across the country with this Jesus's labor, love, and as soon as I said that the guy held out his hand. Jerry in my face but I just have to tell you right now I'm Jewish thought well that could be a problem but when you call in Jesus. It was interesting. He said, but no one incisive well in the Lord put on my heart to help single moms and widows and explain the program that is not given in parts but just labor so that you know that something you can give. But the single moms, widows, provider parts and and his he listens you he said you know is that I had a dream about five years ago that God wanted me to do this very thing and I and I and I don't hear about Jesus and all that but I do feel like God led me to do something like this. In fact, I even try to do it my synagogue. I tried to do it with some local churches and nobody else would give many advertiser I can figure out how to organize it and then you show up at my door, get it if I didn't live this stuff.

I would never believe it. So he says let me show you my shop so were walking through this. The best part walking through the shop and all the sudden from back I'll hear this. Hey Robbie hey Robbie and and here is old Al that used to be my little guy at what Westside Chrysler Dodge Jeep and he all boss I used to work for Robbie's nicest guy on this planet knows that and so here was this, he had an immediate link into this is a legitimate thing. This is a legitimate guy because he had one of my old employees and and I'm proud to say, right word, but God used that day.

We had Alomar on her list.

If you find it on the Jesus's labor lot and I don't mention Jesus a lot to money you can be praying for what he's saying is all right, we got Scott as in Winston we need to hear your prairie parents, the awesome call us at 866348788:866341 single day 78487884 we got Scott is in Winston-Salem.

He's got a story for Scott you're on the Christian partnership working agreement were about 12 years ago and I bought a car probably really good and I will gladly give me a maintenance contract and that I gave you attacked on thousand dollars. Gave me a maintenance contract initially now and that's about that and you and in out handout family for about Lord Abilene Christian University become Lamb of God. Men and head out that way. Now the way out of the door of the car down word that I got work-family call called the hallway when I get about and going all the way out Abilene and went into a dealership heart as well go much further transmission and I don't like and it turned out that dealership on low maintenance contract. I really how Carly had the money to the arm of maintenance contract radio dollars in the Lord had been Lord but went that far. Just a little further, they would follow 15 more miles than you yeah you picture I'm picturing this angel flying along in your car bomb.

Please try to make sure that transmission mount don't break the that's an amazing stories, what a wonderful testimony and I appreciate you calling and very much this morning. Thank you God bless you. We need years.

That was Scott's. That's amazing stuff that we need to hear from you. 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH. Now I actually have a very special guest here with us in the studio is our good friend Bob are Christian junkyard guy the only one in the nation of Multnomah year.

There's lots of Christian junk archives. But anyway Bob, I know that that that that at some point time you've had a prayer repair. Maybe not of a car.

Rather, we had I'd say ever since we had a fire. We've had prayer repair and that finest the fashion so many things fail in the place right after that we found strength we never knew we had we had whether cooperate. I mean, you find yourself looking at the Internet a little bit to see how the clouds were doing and everything that be a great one day.

I remember specifically, it was a huge storm come and get out right at us and then all of a sudden it splits part of it goes east of this part of it went west of the Senate and we were in out we were spared that storm and when you don't have a building a roof over your head. You know rain can be a very big factor that's behind us. Now we have the new awesome building, but the prayer repair. I was really think about different different. Rumor has it that you are your mother's hairdresser yesterday that that is a fact and tell what you mean by that. Well I was the one that gave my mom's hair that great-aunt that it had to see when I came along. She had plenty of dark hair and and as the years went by my rambunctious this really took a toll on the color of her hair and many a family member said that I was the one that colored her hair for her that her prayers were answered and when her prayers were answered.

It was the biggest change in my life because she had prayed for me for years.

The defined the Lord in and I was raised in church, but you not put all that on the back burner and I got so far away and know still have lots of room for improvement. Don't get me wrong I'm not 100%. There, but I'm much closer than I've ever met in my life to be and where should be in an doing things to help people and help Lords cows is so much more important to me than its everyman and all that came from Amish prayers and there's just so many times when I just felt like she reached down and slapped me in the head and and said here's some you need to get only boy hand.

You know this praying for people and people praying for you is just an awesome thing, especially when it comes go full-circle who I never get a chance to actually have Bob and Jerry on at the same time. It sounds like it should be a cat and mouse thing I don't I know that in your life. Two things are no absolute laminae had a mother that I love that the say in where I had a drug problem. When I was when I was a kid my mom brought me to church every time that the doors were open and then that was mother that love me enough to make sure I was in church and and we all have times a week struggles in life but I there's nothing like a mother's prayers and certainly has not been the beneficial of that many a times and you know in in business and bobble agree with me on this. Where you able to let mentioned earlier, with people coming and you're able to in a way share those experiences with people and that is just such a uplifting thing and I mean there's days where you lucky just overwhelmed with all the minutia of doing business in and all the stuff that goes with it overwhelmed the nation.

But you know is overwhelming that John can you know ill bring out light where it will what it might give you purpose for what you do and a great segue and/or appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure crown for discernment lift up my voice for understanding, that is let you off the hook.

You still know you need to call by the way, 866-348-7884.

We want to share your prayer repair 86634 truth but back in 2009 pay play this clip where I was on the G Gourley Gordon Liddy show anyway thing right before the play that one thing stuck out in my mind what he say in this business. A lot of cussing that goes not at your shop. I know probably not at Bob's either, but it is kind of funny. That's a great clip. We just got this email in Rob Lisa's dear G-man I have heard Robbie show and it's pretty neat question. Do you think there is a moral necessity for me as a Christian to buy American-made cars.

My husband thinks that if it isn't a Ford or Chevy. It's just not right. I love my Camry and would like another one. Well I don't know. I think God is probably neutral on the subject of what car you buy the question if you don't mind, just because I see what is subject of your shows are Franklin raffia producer people call you for advice on car repair as well and then you have sort of a Christ centered approach approach to repairing automobiles. Well I ask because I guess I'm an amateur diesel mechanic.

My work on a lot of marine engines and I just I'm just fascinated how you incorporate worshipful existence with a field of trader trade which involves often a lot of cussing soon so your relationship with your Lord and Savior guides your work while you're doing it as well. Are you thinking are you thinking prayerfully of him and his life and his commandments and his relationship with you as you execute. That was the question now you know your segment on your on the spot your internationals what to say here was no and I do want to talk about this.

Here was my my answer will my my hope would be to someday be able to do that constantly.

I heard a wonderful article one time about people use personal like a phone line you call of God to be wonderful.

At some point time to never hang up and and honestly, you know that's that's my joy is to develop that relationship to where Jackie get to that point in my there are no not right this minute of everyone's well somebody gets me to hang out but I got another direction, but I think that part of being all that we can be part of seeking everybody's good is is to seek the Savior so I am quite often I have people actually come to me… You know that was that was recorded in 2009 and they're going Robbie doesn't really care about what car people by the doesn't care.

It but IIII differ with them tremendously.

I think he wants in on every single moment of your day. I think I love that idea of calling of God never hang up. Don't you alive so you know the thing is that hope, is a societal commentary. We think that is so out of touch with what God won't what Christ alone and I relationship with us, but it is that that community with God is said that communication where just like with your wife. You sit down. It may be something that just want to share. That's what what Christ wants us to do is bring it be part of our life, not just 10% of a 20% that 99%.

He will sweep part of our 100% absolutely. Now when we got some folks signed up.

We got to Mars in Utah team are your the Christian card I show what you got for my morning. I appreciate your counsel in your program morning and I wanted to share with you guys had not currently do not have a personal relationship with him and about your care only about how we need to have a personal relationship with our Lord and I remember one day sitting in church tonight. Okay, God will hear you and I don't know. I don't know how to have a personal relationship with you.

I'm going to start trying me right where we are. We don't have to get better to come to him. He comes when we open our stock that transformed me, not my father in about a year and argument in the Lord moved on me and I called him and then I think George which is about five hours away from where we read look like you children. The first time in a long time and it was a good trap left that greatly and I felt happy to report that the relationship been repaired but on the way home about our how to think. George on the way back to Utah and Mike stopped going up my on it.I was shaking like you can't put me by my auto Lord in the middle of nowhere. No nation close by and I tried to ground myself and a man came and called and that young lady you need help.

I quit going and he said while you're in my station about 20 minute book at Cartwright. I'm pretty sure that your transmission and sure enough, my transmission went out and he just got it taken care of and I got my truck on top of that contract. Three-hour calm and you know got your head to protection around I'm rambling… My dad. I knew that the stories were out there working in you blessed me in so many different ways with that story and I know you blessed thousands of others, but I'm curious Taymor is that the team are in the Bible is that the is that how your name care much. She's in the lineage of Jesus.

Jesus Perez's mother actually and what Judy's lines awesome. That is so cool.

What waiting thank you thank you so much I bless you how that's I knew that was coming that's out there. We have Vicki is in let's see also Salt Lake City Vicki are on the Christian car guys show good morning what you're on the air and we are ready. Later, a block later on I got Clay and he shot which is very inconvenient for you and answer me by first repair was 200 on my part and it would cost about 2000 well and I had a checkup repair and meter third because we didn't get everything fixed. The first time either little things that I wanted resource and what will you stay with me through this break can you do that line okay you hear more from Vicki on her story on she's share her prayer with plenty time for you to get in yours.

Don't let it go by. This is your chance.

You call us at 866-348-7884. Please will and oh ma'am, I found that song. I was falling as it was so you know that concept of I don't want to turn golden to brass today and I don't want to build with pay. You know him to be in his presence is to make a day that's worth living.

You know, and are called from Salt Lake City made that so so very clear, little while ago.

But also we we got Vicki still on with us in Salt Lake City. Vicki, can you share a little bit of your story on on perhaps how God came to your rescue and little bit of what the situation was that you needed the help where I started and I went online and contacted and not only did Brian do the right of free that he contacted and mapped the store in the southern part of the valley, he got me the part for a lesser price so that's why it only cost me $200 because he had disconnection with this particular he's got a hard sweet man.

I often wonder if God hadn't given us this this is Jesus's labor love. I never met Brian what what an amazing brother. And why I do know even if if God had laid it on my heart to start the Christian car guy so I wouldn't be sitting here with Bob and Jerry and my life would be nowhere near it's amazing how God puts these people in our life through different circumstances where we need a minute and it's just so wonderful Vicki God bless you and thank you and thank you to Brian at West as her daughter (Salt Lake City, what an amazing job. He doesn't like derelict area and forward we need some more repairs and volunteer there current shop. Brian would come to me come to me and there was a shop over here. He would come over all we need is that's a great word Vicki.

We need that help. We also need people paying customer, people they can afford the landmass for Brian to help them with their cars to you know you know an admin rep.

One thing that people can do when you go into a service center and if it's one that the connection. You do know they do that Jesus labor lever you know they're there helping the community some way make mention that that's one of the reason you're using them because it is an encouragement to them and us know that their own that you know that that is making an impact in the community and and bigger things make an impact for Jesus Christ. Bless you for Appreciate you for calling so much this morning is amazing. Thank you. Right now I do have this one other thing we gotta talk about for just a minute here there is an amazing event is going on next week next Saturday can be a very special edition of the Christian car guys show because it's got to be our first ever working to go stealing out with Bob working to be stealing for missions when it came to me and you came to me with that idea.

I wasn't really sure that I understood it or anything that is that's an awesome idea and great plan and everybody just let that metal and bring it out to the yard next week. If you have a bobsled that's a big heavy car. A big bobsled. This is your week to call in the 109 you pull it bowel 788-9122. If you're in this area. 336 and we need you to give the steeled everybody that brings and steal whatever you may have in your art.

Maybe this'll bed frames anything is happy. What's a good thing for people to bring about so many things old bicycles just as I took a door out of the truck and it set out there behind the outbuilding for long time old lawnmowers, farm equipment that's rested and not working anymore just washers and dryers anything metal emailing and I give you rights feeling for missions next Saturday. That's October 20 7B actually live from 109 you probably do not want to miss the show next week one and I knew it was the Christian car guys show today.

Remember what Jesus always says slow down Friday got it all done in 33 years. Slow down when I think Jerry our Christian body shop guy from Ray's body shop wrecker service work.

Bob jumped in there 2109 you put actually be stealing for missions, but this will try calling up got a little bit, see if you can stay on route hanging out. How fun would that be again. God bless you with this man. We don't have to show something and I really have a great week
