Standing for Truth in a Challenging World 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the God of all things possible. He's the God of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we have just we're so honored and blessed to have this powerful couple with us today. Michelle, you wanna do the introduction.1:06 Yeah. I mean, these these guys, like, you know, we have people all over the church that are saying, god, what can I do? They must get an answer 90 times a day from the lord because they're all over the1:18 map, and what they're doing, I'm so impressed. Today, we have a Hercules and Serena. And we're so excited. We're we're talking about and1:30 you will know them, Kevin and Sam Sorbo, and we'll talk more about what they're what they're doing, and we're we're so thrilled to have them. Will Will you please welcome Kevin1:42 and Sam? Guys,1:45 welcome. God bless you guys. Here.1:47 Thanks for being on the program.1:49 Sue for having me. Pleasure to be here.1:50 Sue, you guys, you know, we all know this world is a hot mess. There's no other way to say it right now. This nation is in trouble. And, you know, so much of what's happening is just is2:02 starting at the school level and going on from there. What what we have found out during COVID, what our children are being taught, and what's happening. So so we see that you guys are out there. You're such homeschool2:14 parent advocates. You're advocates for pro life. You're you're advocating for all biblical worldview. So Making movies. Christian films. You're on shows. Everywhere.2:25 So so you guys, what is on your heart today? What is do you think is 1 of the most important things that, that we should be focusing on now, to to change2:38 something in the world to go in our favor.2:41 Well, I'll let Sam take that by God throwing everything you just mentioned makes Hollywood love us that much more.2:48 We Sam.2:50 We can't care about them anymore.2:51 Thank you for not being silent,2:53 Sam. Amen.2:54 We are grateful for your courage because courage begets courage.2:58 Yes.2:59 And you guys have not backed down, so hail to the Chiefs. Yeah.3:04 You're very sweet. I think that, I I think that really what it comes down to is we're both in love with the truth, and it's very difficult for us to, to compromise that, so we don't.3:16 And that if standing for the truth gets you hated by the world, then so be it. The hope would be that other people would take, take note and start3:28 standing for the truth themselves. And the reason that I say that is because if you don't stand for the truth, you're compromising your integrity, you're compromising your honor, you're compromising your character, and3:40 it's very difficult to recover from that. And so I know that it's a scary time. It's hard to stand up for the truth, but I think I think what we are about is trying to encourage people to do3:52 that. And even if it's in just a small way, to stand up for what you know is right and not to accept a lie, as difficult as it is, you will come out the4:03 other side better and stronger.4:06 Amen. Truth truth is kryptonite to the left. I mean, it really is. I mean, it's unbelievable. I I'm actually a victim of the cancel culture in the woke world before it even became terminology 12 years ago My manager and4:18 agent, they said, they said we can't work it anymore because you're a Christian and conservative in Hollywood. And I went, wow. And I said, you guys are the ones who all scream for tolerance, but as we know, it's all a 14:29 way street with these guys. So it's pretty sad, but we're fighting the good fight and God opened a different door for me. And now I'm doing movies that, pretty much, are filled with faith and love and laughter and4:39 redemption and hope. Things that the world needs more than anything in the type of movies Hollywood used to do but doesn't do anymore.4:46 You know, and that's that is so needed and so interesting. And I know some of your movies like God's Not Dead and others are just, you know, Miracle in East Texas, just such awesome movies and and that you can watch with4:57 your family without cringing. And, you know, honestly, getting out of Hollywood, you know, that place anymore, like, I I always think I don't know I don't have a clue who's there, who's in a movie, who's on a5:09 record anymore. And I think so many people, as you see with the Oscars and with some of the award shows, nobody's watching these things anymore. Oh. You know? So there is a big shift for what you guys are doing, and it's5:19 so needed. And and people are just sick of it. And yet, they keep throwing their woke agendas, even Disney. And so, you know, so thank you for what you're doing and so that you have left this all behind. And5:31 so what is the biggest struggle in, getting some good Christian content out there for you?5:37 Well, I think the biggest struggle we've always had is is just finding funding. I mean, we do movies in the 3 to 5000000 range. That sounds like a lot of money. That's catering budget on these 300000000 dollar Avatar and5:47 Avengers and Thor movies and Spider Man movies that Hollywood does. And, I know we talked a little earlier about this, we kind of touched on it without saying it, you know, we say, you know, it's in God's timing.5:57 Sometime I get a little impatient with God because we got good messages to get out there. And, it's it's it's and it's frustrating because we do good movies and once they get out there, people love them. I get stopped6:06 all the time through airports, hotel lobbies, whatever, and people say keep doing what you're doing. It's not about Hercules anymore, it's about God's not dead, what if, let there be lights. Amen. Left behind, that's6:16 what people stop me for and I gotta say real quickly, pretty much every movie I've done over the last 6, 7 years, and I do about 4 movies a year, in every movie I do I get an actor, I get a director, I get a camera guy,6:27 somebody comes up and says, thanks for being a voice for us. And I go, wait a minute. Be a voice for yourself, but they're afraid and that's the favorite weapon of of not only government, but Hollywood and the mainstream6:37 media is fear. Fear is just something they love to instill on people. And I said, the only person who's supposed to fear is God. It's in the bible. You're not supposed to fear government. But, they they they wield it as6:47 quite a big and powerful weapon.6:49 Well, see, you walked away from Hollywood and you didn't care about the cancel culture. And now look at god as opening these doors for you. And, you know, as this whole wave is shifting over and people are finding out6:59 the truth, you know, you're gonna be and you already are on the right side of things. And so, you know, that's that's the thing about it. You stepped away without the fear where so many people cave to that and and and7:11 just get fearful and they they just, you know, don't want that canceling. But, you know, if you let God order your steps, look what happens. You know, he'll start to bring the victories in your life. So it's amazing to7:22 watch and see because the movies are being so well met and and received.7:27 Well, and John Warner recently, did a study, the and he was talking about the number 1 way to reach people for the Lord7:39 and to have an impact is movies. And there you are.7:43 Well, you7:43 know well, I mean, Jesus was a storyteller. There's a reason for that. We are, as human beings, we're very responsive to stories. And that's why we established Sorbo Studios. That's why we started a 5 0 17:55 c 3 so that people could donate, taxes with a tax deduction to funding movies like this or or funding the the prints and advertising, the money that gets the movies into8:07 theaters, and to have a wider reach because this is why we make these movies. Look. We're living in what what you're talking about right now is the cancel culture. Right? It's the culture8:18 that says you are not forgiven for what you've done. It's literally the antithesis of Christianity. And that is the culture that is now taking over. And if you succumb to it, if you succumb to the8:30 fear of being canceled, then you become part of that culture of of of non Christian, non Christianity. Right? UnChristianity. And I think that8:42 that's a dangerous place to be. I think that we're seeing the the culmination of that in the media and in the in our politics today of people that serve not God, but the dollar.8:54 They they're willing to compromise anything just for power and money. And it's a terrible way to live your life, but it's also a terrible way to run a country or run a culture. You9:06 can't trust anybody anymore because they will betray you for a dime. And we don't wanna live that way. So we live our lives differently, and we're hoping to affect other people that way. That's why we made you know,9:18 Miracle in East Texas did very well in theaters. It did very well on DVD. It's still available. And Where can they get that movie? What's the website called? Sorbo studios dot com. That's it.9:28 Sorbo studios dot com.9:29 And it's a wonderful, uplifting family movie that also talks a little bit about redemption and forgiveness, which are 2 very important qualities that our culture9:41 has for centuries upheld that it's now squandering, and we need more of that in our culture. So we're just we're very honored to be able to pursue this path, frankly.9:50 Amen. Hey, you guys. We are gonna take a quick break, and we will be right back. Stay right there.9:55 I'm excited to announce that we're bringing back our best offer ever on our original My Slippers. You saved 90 dollars a pair with your promo code.

What a remarkable couple doing such amazing things for the lord in all they do. And, Sam, 1 of the things that11:07 I know is so important in your life and near and dear to your heart is homeschooling. And, you know, I I've I've, seen some of your podcasts and and where you're talking about, you know, emancipating our kids from this11:20 crazy school ideology where we now have drag queen story hour, pornography in our schools. Like, it's just unbelievable. And, you know, if there was ever a silver lining in COVID11:32 is that people were able to see what their kids were learning in the schools, and we have been just dead to what's been happening around us. And but you have been a Holden school mom, and you have11:44 been advocating to this. And this is so, so, so important. So can you speak to this, just anything that's on on your heart about all of this? It's so important.11:54 Well, yeah. In fact, I just covered there's a a mom who went undercover just recently inside a school. She had noticed that there was some inappropriate material on her son's notebook, chrome her Chromebook.12:06 Mhmm. And, so she she took it to the principal, and they apologized. They said, you know, it must have gotten past their very stringent, efforts to to screen12:17 everything that was given to children. And the child was 11 years old. Oh, wow. And then she discovered it again, of course. Mhmm. Because because they want it there. Yeah.12:29 Right? Yes.12:30 They do. We can't we can't stop. We can't be pretending that this is not this is not happening on purpose. Of course, it's happening on purpose. You you don't put up the firewall and then something gets through, not12:42 when it's an entire website that has, appendage enhancements, sex dolls, toys, all kinds of of paraphernalia. And this12:54 is given to children. By the way, parents, be on be on alert. Chromebooks are not safe. And as and as long as parents won't step up and talk to the principals13:05 about this, it's going to continue. So she went undercover, and I just posted the video of of her talking to them and the the science teacher because it came through the science classes. And13:17 they're talking to children and telling them that they have these urges, that they shouldn't resist these urges, and to go on and do heavy petting, and they're they're coaching them. They are grooming13:29 these children, and they are and they are children. And my first question was, the first time that she saw it, she didn't remove her child? She she accepted the apology.13:41 Wow.13:41 Alright. Alright. We'll give her a pass for that. But the second time, I I would hope that that little boy is no longer in school. But she's the 1 who kept saying to the principal, you know, at a certain13:53 point, he he's only innocent for a certain amount of time, and you're you're ruining his innocence. You're you're abolishing that, and he's no longer innocent. He's 11 years old, and he sees he has seen things that he14:05 won't be able to unsee. So here's the thing, though. I I've I've taken it to, in a sense, to another level. Because what we have to understand is is14:17 that they've they've been allowed to put this stuff into the schools because they know that they have conditioned the parents to not protest. All of us parents who went14:28 to school, we were trained to sit in a classroom and shut up. Mhmm. Ask permission before we asked a question. We had to raise our hand in order to get permission to even ask14:40 a question. And so now the parents won't raise a won't ask a question, won't raise a question. In fact, she pressed the principal in this school, and she said, you need to make an14:52 announcement. You need to let parents know that this this stuff is available on the Chromebooks for any child to uncover. And by the way, it came from a website that very clearly states this is not at all for children.15:04 This is not even for high school. This is for postgraduate from, college. It's not even for college. And they're giving it. They are purposely giving it to children. And the principal15:15 said, if a parent comes to us, we will address it then. In other words, they will not make apologies. They will not take it off the Chromebooks. They are grooming your children in school. And so parents are like, well15:27 well, what can I do? I have to send my child to school. And that's, of course, where I come in. And I say, no. You don't. In fact, what's amazing is education is the most natural thing. They make it15:39 difficult because they want job security. So they've made us believe education is difficult. School is hard. Learning is hard. Teaching is hard. And all of those are lies15:51 meant to trap you so that you will turn your children over to them so they can be groomed.15:57 I think 1 of the blessings of COVID is that 2000000 more families are now homeschooled.16:02 Amen.16:02 Because they finally woke up and looked at the reality of what the school boards are doing and what all levels of education are doing and and from kindergarten to twelfth grade and said enough is enough. She talks about16:12 raising her hand, I've always said we should run the school classrooms like to do the British parliament. I don't know if you've ever seen videos of these guys, but they all talk over each other. Smackdown. They just go16:23 for the jugular with each other, but there's a great debate that goes on, And you get both sides of the issue, not just climate change, climate change. You know what? There's as many scientists on the other side side16:33 that's signaling. No. That's not really happening. But we don't hear that side, do we?16:37 No. They shut everything that you know, honestly, listen to what the Bible says. The truth will set you free. Well, they hide the truth on every level about every single thing. But, you know, I I believe the more16:47 pushback I I believe things are coming to light, and I believe that it will continue to do so. You know, at the end of the day, we know who wins. God wins every time. And so, you know, it it just how many people we're16:57 gonna take with us. And it's so important what you're saying, and I and and I know that, you have good tips and curriculums and all different kinds of things that you you advocate for and that are that are just ways17:08 people can jump start their their homeschool education.17:11 I try to make it very easy for parents because, frankly gets17:15 all kinds of information.17:16 Everything is at Sorbo Studios. And I try to make it easy for parents because, frankly, it's just not that hard.17:22 Mhmm.17:22 And and what's even better is it's it's not only easier than you ever imagined, it's actually more enjoyable than you ever dared to dream. And so and this is why I'm so passionate about it because I17:34 approached it with great trepidation. I think I said to Kevin, I I need to homeschool, but here's the good news. If I fail at homeschooling, I do believe he'll still be better off. And, of course, it's gotten17:46 worse today. So you can fail17:48 Yeah.17:49 And your child will still be better off. And by the way, you'll be better off as a parent. We've learned so much from our children. It's it's a it's a whole new paradigm. It's like it's like living in Technicolor18:01 when the schools are in black and white.18:04 But what does it say about our public education system that you just went through yourself, kindergarten to twelfth grade, and you say, I don't know. I don't think I'm smart enough to teach a first grader. So I'm going,18:13 so what18:14 is that? Exactly. Well, hey, let's hold that thought18:18 and we're getting to the back.18:19 Turned on the lights in18:20 this moment.18:21 Yeah. Well, guys, we'll be right back. Stay right there.18:23 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest Christmas sale ever.

We are here with Sam and Kevin Sorbo, and we're talking about how to save the world before bedtime, basically. But I'm telling you,19:35 Kevin and Sam, they need to write the the next book needs to be time management because apparently they're very good at it because they have such a long list of what they're up to right19:47 now. So can you go into that, Kevin and Sam?19:51 Well, real quickly, I've got 4 movies in post production right now. And I got 2 documentaries coming out that I'm very excited about. We spent, she she came along to tag herself along. We spent 3 weeks in Israel last20:02 year before the war broke out. And through archaeological digs we traced the, flow of the Ark of the Covenant. It was incredibly fast and it was called the quest for the throne. That'll be out probably mid summer, late20:12 summer. But I have 1 coming out Easter week with, Brent Miller and Ingenuity Films. We had the number 1 documentary a couple years ago called Before the Wrath that I narrated and what Brent's company did again. Deals20:23 with the second coming, but the latest one's gonna come out Easter week and it deals with the last supper, and it's called eating with the enemy. And it's an amazing look at the last supper, what led up to it and what20:34 happened of course so I hope people will check that out and sorbel studios dot com is a great place to go, but I have a new book out, Sam and I. I did a book called True Strength. We did a book together, a follow-up20:44 called True Faith. She has a number of books out there and public schools out there. But I think a lot of people remember all he knew is about Kirk Cameron when he was reading wanting to read his Brave book at libraries,20:54 and they wouldn't let him, but they were okay with drag queens and business.20:57 Oh, of course. Yeah.20:59 Let's go figure this out. So my book my book is about embracing masculinity, and it's with BraveBooks and it's called the test of linehood. And of course, the alphabet crowd came after me and say I'm trans this and trans21:09 that. No. No. I'm not trans anything. I'm just pro child. I'm all about letting children grow and grow up to become adults. Anti what?21:17 You're not trans anything. You're they say you're anti something.21:21 I'm anti trans. I know. I just get passionate talking about it. But it's a wonderful book. And BraveBooks, please go to BraveBooks dot com and check out the wonderful things to do. You get a new book every single month21:32 with it. You can order now, get my book for free if you as long as you sign up. It's called The Test of Blindhood. It's kinda21:37 cool because wherever you see them attacking, that's probably a good place to be. Yeah.21:41 Exactly. That means you're over the target.21:43 That's what we both say all the time. You know, because21:46 I have a teacher that says, I only follow people who have been canceled.21:49 Exactly. Because that's where the truth is. You know, that's the thing. You wanna know what's the truth is, see what's being shut down. You know, our ministry has been shut down off social media so much, and we're like,21:58 that's a badge of honor. You know?22:00 So We were canceled by a bank before that even22:03 Yeah. Kicked us out because because we're out of the blue. Yep.22:06 So we know we were we knew that day that, hey. We're doing something right.22:12 So you guys are doing great things for the Lord, and we know that you are such advocates. Keep doing everything you're doing. Like, so I know you're big pro life advocates too, and so that is so so important.22:21 I do a lot of pro life speaking, by the way.22:23 And that yeah. And so, you know, do you wanna touch on that quick? Because that is so huge. What what what they're trying to do with that and abortion is just outrageous. So Well,22:32 what they've managed to do in our culture is they've devalued the child. Abortion is basically devaluing the child, devaluing the human being. Devaluing life. Can devaluing life.22:44 That's correct. And I don't know how you can claim that you care about the child after the child is born, but that you'd just as soon kill the child in the womb. Right? Yeah. And so and22:56 this is what they've done. And and, you know, we're we feel very strongly about this. And, they discovered that Kevin was pro life, and then all of a sudden, all the invitations kept coming in because he's a very23:07 passionate speaker. And he he brings the message to the events that he does. I have I actually have an event for a pregnancy clinic coming up also, because we're very passionate about this. We think23:19 that if you don't value life, then we don't have a culture. We don't have a country. There's no reason to have borders. I mean, it all falls apart if you don't value life. And so that's where it that's really23:30 where it begins and ends. And, I do wanna encourage people. When you go to Sorbo Studios, you'll be prompted to sign up for the emails. We get we have a lot of fun with the emails. We tell great stories. People really23:41 enjoy them. And so I wanna encourage people. It'll just bring a little bit of sunshine into their inbox about once every week or so. Not too much, but, we just like to stay in touch with people. Heaven was23:53 canceled off of, Facebook a few years back and off of LinkedIn.23:57 I remember that.23:58 And, and Wow.23:59 So I lost I lost between the 2, I lost probably around 2 and a half million followers.24:03 So we realized that the the way to stay in touch with people really has to be either email or text. Right now, we're emailing. We're we're going to be transitioning to texts.24:12 They can follow me on Twitter, though. Go to k sorbs. K sorbs. My buddies call me sorbs. And, I do very sarcastic truth.24:20 Twitter, you know, is hilarious.24:22 But I I love that though.24:23 Example during COVID example during COVID, I said, you wanna get rid of COVID? Tell the Clintons that COVID's got something on there.24:30 Well, that that's probably all in their emails. So And24:33 by the way, like, that that that's actually helpful for us. Yeah. I have a video that came out just recently from an interview that I did where I explained how fascism is left wing, not right wing. Even though they try24:44 to cast it as right wing, that's actually a ruse in order to make you think that right wing people can be just as as cruel or just as, you know, violent as left wing, and that's absolutely not true. And I24:56 did this video, and what's amazing is the amount of flack I got25:01 Oh, yeah. On25:01 your end.25:02 Which really helped the video. It did over 1 and a half million or close to 1 and a half million views because of all of the the, acrimony around it.25:13 And so it it's it's actually an interesting thing. When you're when you're drawing fire, you're not only over the target, you're actually drawing attention so that other people can see you and hear the truth,25:25 and that's just a good thing. Amen.25:27 Well, please, wokesters out there, attack all of my25:31 Watch my watch my podcast. I do the Sam Sorbo show once a week. So listen to my podcast. And if you disagree with what I say, by all means, take me on. I'm happy for the debate.25:42 Oh, and that is good because people need to know the truth, and that's what they do. They have questions that that they just things they think that are not really true. So do you guys wanna we have just about 30 seconds.25:52 If you guys wanna say a quick prayer for our viewers, and then, and we'll make sure if you wanna, you know, we'll add your website too. We'll have that link up on our show too so people can find you guys as well. So26:03 thank you so much for being26:04 here. Website?26:06 No. They can find you. So anyway26:10 Well, they can find us at sorbo studios dot com.26:12 Okay.26:13 Sorbo studios dot com. And,26:16 Well, you know what I pray for people out there that they're not afraid to speak the truth, they're not afraid to come out and be honest and be open, and not be afraid to be attacked because that's a gift. We all know,26:25 as you mentioned earlier, we all know how this ends. It ends with standing all of us in front of our lord and savior and and and our father god, and people need to not let fear control their lives.26:36 Second Timothy 1 7, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. That means use your minds26:44 Amen. And youShow more In this video 0:00 Standing for Truth in a Challenging WorldComments No comments yet. Start the conversation.
