Using Amplified Sound at the Abortion Center

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.679 We've had women that have chosen life because they heard somebody on the amplified sound 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.919 in the in the waiting room for some number one in particular, she was 3 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.199 on the operating table and she heard over the microphone your baby is a gift 4 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:22.120 from God. I Am Yours, I am yours, I am yours, 5 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.399 and me Lord, I am yours, I am yours. I'm welcome to 6 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.920 the Gospel Center Pray Life Podcast, a podcast designed to equip, encourage and 7 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.039 challenge you in pro life ministry, and always with a focus on the Gospel. 8 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:49.159 Stay tuned. I felt show passish, touch your heart. Use Me. 9 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.119 Welcome back to the Gospel centered pro life podcast. Appreciate you guys joining 10 00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.159 us and, as always, we'd appreciate if you guys would share this podcast 11 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.000 episode. I'm here. This is Daniel Parks. I'm here with Vicki Kessi 12 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:11.519 organ everyone, and we want to cover a subject today that we think would 13 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.519 be a blessing you guys. We think it would be an encouragement to you 14 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.239 guys to maybe use a what we see to be a pretty useful tool in 15 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.200 your sidewalk out reach, and so we're going to talk about speaking on a 16 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.359 microphone or using amplified sound. Right, right, and this this topic came 17 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.359 up because we had a new council well, actually she was not a new 18 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.719 counselor, she was an old councilor that hadn't been on the sidewalk with us 19 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.319 for several years and came back after many years. And and and we realized 20 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.239 that her, what she was doing on the microphone was different than what we're 21 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.519 actually training people that do now. And so it occurred to me training on 22 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.040 how to use the microphone effectively is really a good idea. Yeah, and 23 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.000 and so we're hoping that some of the main points that we bring up in 24 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.759 this article will help people if their facility or their city allows the use of 25 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.199 amplified sound. Yeah, and I guess that's not true, right. Yeah, 26 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.759 that would be kind of the initial question. If I were you those 27 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.800 you are listening and I asked myself, can I use or should I use 28 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.039 amplified sound? The question would be are you legally able to use it? 29 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.520 Right, and because it varies so much from city to city, from county 30 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360 to county and from area to area, like one city in certain areas could 31 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.680 have no restricts on amplified sound and other areas, like residential areas, there 32 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.599 could be a lot of restrictions on amplified sounds. So there's no way I 33 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.240 can tell you exactly what kind of amplified sound you can use or if you 34 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.520 can use amplified sound at all. That'll be up to you to dig into 35 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.560 your local ordinances and you can just google search it. Another thing I would 36 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.080 encourage you to do is maybe connect with your local police department. I think 37 00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.159 the probably the police department that's closest to the abortion center where your minister ring 38 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.080 out and your planning to use amplified sound at reach out to them. If 39 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.240 you can connect with someone who's higher up there, maybe a major or a 40 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.639 captain or whatever, and get something solid like hey, you can do this, 41 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.000 but you can't do this, then I would say definitely get it in 42 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.199 writing. Yeah, that's really if you're able to. Yeah, so that 43 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.159 if there's questions in the future you can you can have it. Hey, 44 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.800 here's what captain so and so told me. So that would that would be 45 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.599 helpful. Now I will say that we'll talk about this a little bit later, 46 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:39.080 but we do prefer natural voices to amplified sound because it's more inviting amplified 47 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.680 sound. Obviously it's loud and we're talking about amplified sound. We're talking about 48 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.479 what we use here in Charlotte and there's a couple of different things that this 49 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.199 could apply to. A could apply to it, like a bullhorn or something 50 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:57.879 like that. Anything that's electronically amplified would be what we're talking about amplified sound. 51 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.280 So what we use here in Charlotte is a speaker, pretty good south 52 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.120 speaker on the speaker stand with a microphone connected to it, kind of like 53 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:11.159 what you would use in a concert or you whatever. Right and yeah, 54 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.120 it's pretty loud. We can. We can actually be pretty loud here in 55 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:19.040 Charlotte. Other people use things like maybe you would call it a voice box 56 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.199 or something like that, sort of a small thing. You have a strap 57 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.040 and have it around your your neck. They're have kind of a head boom 58 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.079 Mike. You guys have seen these things, I'm sure, where you're amplifying 59 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.680 your voice. It's not super loud or anything, but it is still electronically 60 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.519 amplified sound. And so some cities you can use that, some cities you 61 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.319 can't. Some cities you can use it at certain decibel levels. I can't 62 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.240 tell you exactly what you can do in your cities. You'll have to dig 63 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.800 into that, but we are going to talk about some principles of how to 64 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.319 use amplified sound effectively. Again, this is just a tool and so you 65 00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.959 do have to be careful for that amplified sound really being a turnoff to people 66 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.199 that are going into the abortion center. You don't want to be blasting them 67 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.519 with just a bunch of loud music or loud preaching or whatever constantly. You 68 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.199 want to invite people to come over and talk to you, right. So 69 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.040 that's that's what you got to be careful for. But the purpose in using 70 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:25.120 amplified sounds simply is magnifying your voice so that you can be heard. Yeah, 71 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.040 I mean we've had women. We've heard testimonies over the years, several 72 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.639 testimonies of women that were inside of the abortion center. They could hear us 73 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:39.480 from the outside and something that will set on the microphone appealed to them right 74 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.839 that we would not have been heard if it was just our natural voices. 75 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.040 It was the amplified sound that spoke to their hearts and made them leave. 76 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.360 Now, of course, we've heard many women saying that people calling out, 77 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.120 just the natural voices, and that's probably been more of the the common theme. 78 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.240 I would say that because someone was on the sidewalk calling out with their 79 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.360 natural voice, that God use that to change my mom's heart. So anyway, 80 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.720 all of these things are tools, and so they amplified sound. I 81 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.839 would say, though some might view it as a necessity and some scenarios maybe 82 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.759 it is a necessity, but really it's just another tool that that God has 83 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:23.759 given us to be able to deliver the Gospel Right. So I say that 84 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.040 because there are some cities where it's just not going to happen. You cannot 85 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.759 use any any amplified sound at all. As matter of fact, one of 86 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.079 our guys, and Roy, if you're listening, appreciate you, brother Roy, 87 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.199 up in Michigan had some issues. He had a one of those little 88 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:45.079 voice boxes and was there. I mean could have been no louder than somebody 89 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.680 driving by honking their horn or something. There's no way it was much louder 90 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.120 than that. Or it was. There's no way. It was as loud 91 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.439 as that actually, and he got a citation for it, like, no 92 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.240 questions asked, just got a saltation just to citation. Yeah, so no, 93 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.279 the law. Try and try and find out the law before you step 94 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.160 out there, and I'll tell you to even if you know the law, 95 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:11.160 I mean you can always deal with police officers that are being knuckleheads and stuff. 96 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.680 That's why I say if you do get some kind of you if you 97 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.439 had a conversation going with the police, depart if you can get something written 98 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.439 down so there's a clear understanding, because even from one police officer to another 99 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.519 right they can change and they can apply this law or this rule. The 100 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.720 best you can get an understanding. Sore. I don't want to scare you 101 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.800 guys from using amplified sound. So I want to say that very clearly because 102 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.680 I think it is a powerful tool and if you can use amplified sound, 103 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.680 if there's an allowance for that, whether that be one of the little voice 104 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560 boxes or big speaker whatever, if you can use it, I say you 105 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.120 need to use it. Absolutely. Yeah, but if it comes down to 106 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.120 not knowing whether or not you can use it legally and you're going to deal 107 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.680 with citations like you don't want to go go around the mountain continually with the 108 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.439 police about amplified sound and completely be distracted. Like God didn't call you out 109 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.839 there to stay in your ground for amplified sound laws. He called you out 110 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.839 there to speak for those babies. And so if you have to put a 111 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.040 lot of attention and energy in to dealing with that stuff, then you're better 112 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.240 off to not use that tool then to be completely distracted with something else. 113 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.160 But if you can use it, yeah, use it, yeah, and 114 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.839 usually if you have it in writing, you you are going to be able 115 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.000 to avoid those kinds of distractions. I know that I have had to pull 116 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.879 out a piece of paper with it in writing, show it to the policeman 117 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:37.240 who didn't actually know the law right and and he then left me alone because 118 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.559 I could prove that it was okay. So the purpose is obviously we want 119 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.919 to be heard. The danger of amplified sound. As you are heard, 120 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.559 you're very loud. People are going to hear what you say. So it's 121 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.799 a ever, an important tool, but one use it with respect and knowing 122 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.759 that because you will be heard far and wide. We we always recommend that 123 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.039 are people be well rained right for they go on, so we know ahead 124 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.720 of time what the sorts of things they're going to say, in the sorts 125 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.840 of things that that they shouldn't say, but one of the major reasons to 126 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:16.080 use amplified sound for us in our facility. One you mentioned. They can 127 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.480 hear you in the building. The second one is the pro abortion crowd here 128 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.919 in Charlotte is very loud, right, and they can. They use instruments, 129 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.559 drums, leaflowers and the bills, cowbell whistles, horns. We yesterday 130 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.399 they were using a rubber chicken that they could squeeze and it would make a 131 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.399 horn sound. Sometimes feels like you're at the circus. It feels circuses are 132 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:50.399 pretty loud. So we need the amplified sound to still be heard, right, 133 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.360 and we that's what that's one of the major reasons we use it is 134 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.399 to be heard over the pro abortion crowd because we are the true pro choice 135 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.039 people and we are the only ones offering the choice for life. Right, 136 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.039 and if we don't use amplified sound, the women often are not going to 137 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.879 hear that choice for life. Yeah, you're going to hear a rubber chicken 138 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.200 honking right. And and so those those, I think, are the two 139 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.960 main reasons. Right, so they can be heard in the building, they 140 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.440 can be heard a long distance and and they can be heard over the the 141 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.360 proportion Crad yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So, so what are some of 142 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.919 the things we've seen as a result of using amplified sound? Yeah, well, 143 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.159 like I mentioned earlier, we'd have we've had women that have chosen life 144 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.480 because they heard somebody on the amplified sound in the in the waiting room for 145 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.320 some number one in particular, she was on the operating table and she heard 146 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.440 over the microphone your baby is a gift from God. Yeah, and she 147 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.000 was like I can do this. Yeah, I'll say one kind of like 148 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:03.080 unintended effect was we had a guy, we volunteered with us for years actually 149 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.919 after this situation, who is living in the apartment complex behind the abortion center 150 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.120 and living with his girlfriend sin and here it us on the microphone. This 151 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.840 was years ago. He hold it, hurt us on the microphone and ended 152 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.200 up walking through the woods from the back of the abortion center coming over and 153 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.240 talking with US and ended up, like to the progression of things, repenting 154 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.039 and moving out from his girlfriend's house and surrender his life to Jesus. Actually 155 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.799 lived with one of our one of our guys who were on the sidewalk for 156 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.279 for a while. That sounds so pretty cool. That was amplified sound that 157 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.320 he was hearing in the apartment. Yeah, that's not what we want and 158 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.120 I do think we have to make God use all kinds of things. Just 159 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.159 because God uses something doesn't mean it should be our normal practice. Yeah, 160 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.559 so I do think we need to be careful. This is kind of like 161 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.080 a springboard off of that as a warning that we don't want to just blast 162 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.039 the whole neighborhood around and tick people off unnecessarily. I mean if we're being 163 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.559 loud enough to be heard and we're within the legal boundaries, and that time 164 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.120 we we were within the laws that they had established at that point. And 165 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.600 other people are ticked off of what we're doing, well, that's not our 166 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.679 fault, as you take that up with somebody else. But we don't just 167 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.559 want to be unnecessarily loud and obnoxious either. Right, right. Yeah, 168 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.840 I had a businessperson from down the street coming. They knew what we were 169 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.919 doing because they actually had heard us for over the microphone and they they happen 170 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.240 to be supportive. We have also had some that can be angry because it's 171 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.679 so you do have to be careful. You don't want to anger people, 172 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.279 but there are something of they I'll just say if people get angry because you're 173 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.960 preaching the Gospel, that's one thing, right, and you know they have 174 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.240 to deal with that between them and the Lord. Yeah, but if they're 175 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.879 angry just because you're being inconsiderate and just obnoxious unnecessarily, then that's that's one 176 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.720 thing. That's okay. You're going to have to do with before the disrupting 177 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.399 their business or disrupting a baby sleep in nearby neighborhood. None of that is 178 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.000 is our intention, right, and we have to be careful about about that. 179 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.720 So some things not to say. Remember it's loud. So some things 180 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.240 to really be careful of. The just the biggest category for me is do 181 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.320 not dishonor God. Right, yeah, no matter what you say, it 182 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.679 should be honoring to God. Yeah, I will say you mentioned earlier and 183 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.080 I'll share with those who are listening kind of our some of our rules. 184 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.120 I guess you'll say. Okay, we don't just let brand new people on 185 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.759 the microphite. If your brand new, you come out to shadow our team, 186 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.799 or even if you've been out there for a couple of weeks and you 187 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.600 know you're handing out literature. There's certain things we allow you to do in 188 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.000 the early stages of volunteering. But we withhold privileges for the microphone until they've 189 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.759 gone through the one hundred and two training normally. And we do that because 190 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.679 the microphone is a little more it's a little more pronounced and it's something we 191 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.519 can take a little more ownership of. Right. I mean, anyone can 192 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.320 show up on a public sidewalk and call out to people going in front, 193 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.759 are going into the abortions sound, whether they're in front. Anyone can show 194 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.279 up with brochures, whether there are brochures or somebody else's, and hand out 195 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.279 brochures. Anyone can do that stuff. Those are things that we don't necessarily 196 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.200 have ownership of. But what we do have ownership of is our microphone, 197 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.879 and if we're going to allow someone on that microphone to me, they need 198 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.440 to be vetted. We need to make sure that they're going to say the 199 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.639 things that are in line with what we believe to be what God has called 200 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.679 us to make sure they're not preaching a false gospel. We are intentional about 201 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.879 sharing the Gospel in the microphone. So you want to make sure the gospel 202 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.639 that they're going to be proclaiming is consistent. We want to make sure that 203 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.080 people aren't on the microphone making allowances for abortions. Right, I want to 204 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.480 make sure that the people who are on the microphone are consistent. Like we 205 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.240 don't believe that it's right to a board a baby because for any reason, 206 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.720 and I've had people come across my radar who want to volunteer, who think 207 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.159 that rape is an acceptable reason to happen of ortion. Yeah, if I 208 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.799 throw somebody like that on the microphone and there's a situation where a woman is 209 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.200 in that terrible situation, you know, there's a that that plays out there 210 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.399 and somebody hops on the microphone and says, you know, don't abort your 211 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.399 baby unless you've been raped, that's going to be a problem. Right, 212 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:22.039 right. So you can't. You can't take care of of every issue and 213 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.120 everything. I mean, you've been on the microphone before and said dumb stuff. 214 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.519 Yeah, I've been on micro get your free abortions. Come over and 215 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.960 get your free abortions. I meant free ultrasounds and I didn't. It took 216 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.440 me a while before I realized what I had said. Yeah, yeah, 217 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.080 we've all done that. Yeah, I've said some dumb stuff on the microphone 218 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.840 where I'm like, wait a minute, did I just say that? Right? 219 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.720 So that's one thing, yeah, but the theme of the message still, 220 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.440 though, is going to be pretty consistent and or is going to be 221 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.519 consistent with what we believe and what we what we want put out there. 222 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.480 Right. And so, yeah, again, we do with whole and it 223 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.360 kind of actually it serves as sort of like, I guess, an incentive 224 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.840 for people to stay plugged in and to attend the trainings, to because the 225 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.720 trainings are not just a box that you check. We're actually teaching people stuff, 226 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.039 right, right, so you can't get on the microphone to you get 227 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.360 to one hundred and two. Some people are looking forward to that. Now. 228 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.279 Some people are like, I don't ever want to get on the microphone 229 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:19.960 at all. In fact, most people actually sought a people really that. 230 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.360 Yeah, yeah, but they will find, I think we've heard this pretty 231 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:30.080 consistently, when they hop on that microphone and even do something is simple, 232 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.440 is sharing just a scripture. You know, someone thirty nine versus thirteen and 233 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.159 fourteen or some some folks I've seen brand new on the microphone will take our 234 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.879 brochure and just read out like the explanation of an abortion. Just kind of 235 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.919 read page by page the brochure, which I think is a good way to 236 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.200 get started and get yourself used to hear in your own voice amplified, because 237 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.600 that's a little weird too. And then some people will grab the microphone and 238 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.240 just roll with it, you know, especially you get somebody who's a WHO's 239 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.120 a preacher, you let them go and they'll go for, you know, 240 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.160 twenty, thirty minutes if you're not careful. Yeah, we can talk about 241 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:06.559 that in a little we are going to talk about that. I don't know 242 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.680 if we do get to that a little bit further on. But one of 243 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.400 the things that I that I did as a new person on the microphone to 244 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.160 make sure that I was honoring God and then our second point not speaking anything 245 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.480 that was not true, is I wrote things down ahead of time. I 246 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.519 prayed about it, I thought about it and I actually wrote out what I 247 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.440 was going to say when I was strand new, and I do recommend that 248 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.799 to people who are at all nervous or you know, it's there for everyone's 249 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.200 nervous the first time, but but when you get on the MIC, make 250 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:42.039 sure you've got a game plan of what you're going to say so that you 251 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:48.359 kind of don't drone on and on, but also that you are honoring God 252 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.839 and everything you say. For example, I we would strongly discourage any kind 253 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.559 of singling someone out, to call them names, to disparage, to insult. 254 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.680 You never do that. That would be totally inappropriate use of the microphone. 255 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.160 Yeah, and definitely like I would say to to dig into that point 256 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.279 a little bit. Yeah, there, maybe you always have to leave allowance 257 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.880 for people to be led by the Holy Spirit. Yeah, but I would 258 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.960 say for the most part you want to stay away from singling people out. 259 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.920 Of course calling names, but even like hey, you in the Red Hoodie, 260 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.559 just right, because the microphone more is kind of for general proclamation rather 261 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.519 than particular proclamation. That makes sense. It does make sense, and I 262 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.359 like that you said let the Holy Spirit lead you, because there are times 263 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:45.240 that there's a particular situation that person may have walked in. I actually this 264 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.960 happened just this week. She was a high risk mom and she was operating 265 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:56.440 under fear and I just felt she needs to hear what God has to say 266 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.559 about fear. Yeah, so there are but I didn't say that, lady. 267 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.000 I just spoke to in the high risk situation. I just started to 268 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.599 because that can be a general message. Kind of generalized it right, right, 269 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.799 and I would say too, if you because there's been situations where you 270 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.000 meet a mom out on the road or maybe she's walking up to the abortion 271 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.160 center. You get into an indep conversation, you get her name, yeah, 272 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.000 and then unfortunately she decides to going to the abortion center. I would 273 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.000 really be careful even calling her name out, especially in the microphone. Yeah, 274 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.519 but even if you're not use an amplified sound you still you don't want 275 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.000 to create a barrier between you and that person. You want to gain trust, 276 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.039 right, and it's sort of a breach of trust, especially if you're 277 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.839 doing an amplified yeah, to broadcast their name to the whole parking lot or 278 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:47.039 the whole facility or whatever. You got to be real, really careful, 279 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.440 right. Also, because it is so easy to go on and on once 280 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.680 you get used to being on the microphone. It's easy to get off track. 281 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.119 Yeah, and stick to the three talking points as one of the thing 282 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.960 we we train our people really think about those three main talking point resources, 283 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.640 what God says about abortion, about the baby, and then the humanity of 284 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:15.200 the baby and try not to veer very far, yeah, from those main 285 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.960 topics. Yeah. Now one of the things that I will kind of veering 286 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.400 outside of those three talking points and that framework, that I will touch on 287 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:27.000 on the microphone, and I do this often, but I sort of withhold 288 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.079 this until the end. So I'll kind of give a message around the three 289 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.960 talking points pretty much, but toward the end I'll start explaining the abortion procedures 290 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.079 exactly, which I think is powerful. I agree. I don't think that 291 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.359 we have to get unnecessarily in depth with that and just gory details, but 292 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.400 I do think they need to understand the reality that they're going to dismember their 293 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.079 own child. Yeah, yeah, and explaining what the procedures going to be, 294 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.839 even describing like the abortion pill procedure, which some of these women have 295 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.039 they've kind of disconnected from abortion. The abortion pill is not an abortion in 296 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.839 their minds. Yeah, and that line needs to be dispelled. So I'll 297 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:10.319 go after that and then I will also sometimes get into the track record of 298 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.680 the abortion facility. So I might talk about the abortionist, if I know 299 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.279 who that abortionist is. I might talk about their track record, I might 300 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.200 talk about the issues that they've had some of the things that they've said in 301 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:25.200 their past whatever, because we know these people aren't great. Yeah, but 302 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.920 I normally don't let that be my main theme. I just want to drop 303 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:36.160 those nuggets of truth and I want to sow seeds of doubt in the abortion 304 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.000 clinic that they put their trust in. I want I want them to see 305 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.160 they should not have their trust in that place because it's not a good place. 306 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.000 Right. Yeah, that's that's a good point, and one of the 307 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.440 things as as in trying to keep your time on the microphone from getting too 308 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.400 long, you really want to keep your audience in mind. Your target audience, 309 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.119 and by that I mean our ministry, is to the unborn children. 310 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:00.640 We're not going to reach them unless we reach the mom yeah, so there 311 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.559 are main audience, but I have heard people get on the microphone, myself 312 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:10.720 included. I'm guilty of this, where I have just been so angered by 313 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.160 the pro abortion crowd that I start speaking to them. Well, that's really 314 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:21.279 not good, but that's not what the purpose of the microphone is and we 315 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:26.119 really need to guard against that. I guarantee all of us are tempted because 316 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.279 we've been so angered and so unable to really kind of defend ourselves that sometimes 317 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.279 we fall into that trap and we're just warning you don't try to try to 318 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.359 keep in mind who you speaking to. You're speaking to the MOMS. If 319 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.000 there's no mom in sight, you're speaking of the dad's because that mom is 320 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.319 in the building, and if you can be heard in the building, you're 321 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.440 always kind of speaking to the mom right. Really is and should be your 322 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:55.240 focus. Yeah, I agree. So the next point is really important and 323 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.880 Daniel, I think you were the first one that kind of taught me about 324 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.680 this, about speaking for no more than a few minutes at a time. 325 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.759 Yeah, I think you had said. If you think about it, white 326 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:10.680 noise, background noise, is what anything becomes. If it's going on and 327 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:17.079 on and on right on, your brain just stops registering it, and so 328 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:22.279 we really should keep our the the times when we speak short, to the 329 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:27.160 point and then let there be a processing time, yea silence. Yeah, 330 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.400 yeah, I agree with that. Mean really five to ten minutes? Yeah, 331 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.480 I have gone longer than that, I probably. Yeah, I mean 332 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:40.279 I may consistently go over that much time. Yeah, but I do intentionally 333 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:47.680 pause and I do intentionally speak slower. So I and also intentionally make the 334 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.119 phrases and the words that I use as simple to understand as possible, because 335 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.799 we've got to think in the framework of a young lady who's scared. There's 336 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.880 a lot going through her mind. There's a lot of stuff. So I'm 337 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:07.000 not going to speak in Super Complex theological phraseology and things like that. You 338 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.160 know right I'm not going to touch on in depth subjects that have to do 339 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.559 with abortion anything. I'm going to stay pretty surface level. I'm going to 340 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.799 sting with some powerful nuggets of truth and I'm going to let them just sit 341 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:23.599 there. Yeah, yeah, like I said, I'll speak slower. I'll 342 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:30.000 give a phrase or I'll give maybe a two or three minute something on one 343 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.359 of these subjects, one of the three top points. Let it sit for 344 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.480 a second and then I might take up from there. Now there are other 345 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.759 times I may get a little more excited and I might preach a little longer, 346 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.880 I might be more into like, yeah, I might go into ten 347 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.240 or twenty minutes, but I do try to pause in between and give them 348 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.400 time to processes. Yeah, and I have heard sometimes counselor say I was 349 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.519 on the microphone the whole day and the whole day for us is three or 350 00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:00.200 four hours, and I would just caution people. If that's true, I 351 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.599 would tell you that's not a good thing. In my opinion, you're probably 352 00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.880 being tuned out. Yeah, largely tuned out. You've become background noise at 353 00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.279 that point. So I think it is really good to keep that in us. 354 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.759 I will say this, like I have observed this. This is why 355 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.279 we a couple of years ago put a framework in place of sort of like 356 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.720 time limits on the microphone and things like that. Yeah, because I have 357 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.640 observed when you're on the microphone the whole time, yeah, you're interactions are 358 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.759 going to be less. Yeah, I'm telling you, it's absolutely true. 359 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.839 If you're on the microphone for a solid hour or a solid thirty minutes and 360 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.880 you take back up another thirty minutes, another thirty minutes or whatever, you 361 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.920 will see that your interactions will be less right, and I a goose that. 362 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.119 Yeah, it becomes like a barrier, becomes more like you're preaching at 363 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.279 them rather than inviting them to come and engage with you, because that's what 364 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.359 you want and that is sub to engage with. That is such a good 365 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.720 point. It is one of my concerns when you get someone who is trained 366 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.119 as a street preacher. Yeah, and they come out to the abortion center. 367 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.039 They are delivering a message and they often delivered very well, but it 368 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.640 often shuts down interaction because it's you're sending out a message but you're not really 369 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.400 inviting through periods of silence. Yeah, that for them to come and talk 370 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:21.200 with you. So, in fact, I remember flip one time coming to 371 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.799 me and saying Vicky stopped droning, and I think what he was saying was 372 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.079 be quiet more and and you're just going on and on and on and on 373 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.160 with a monotone kind of voice. So be careful that you're not droning. 374 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:38.559 Yeah, sharing the Gospel succinctly. We had our people practice sharing the Gospel 375 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.680 in five minutes. Right. I went home and practice that and I asked 376 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.680 every all the cancer's practice that. Yeah, if you can't do it in 377 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.200 five minutes, you don't know the Gospel. Right. Yeah, now, 378 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.319 you're not going to get into all the INS and outs through the Gospel, 379 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.119 but hit the main points and at some point when you're on the mic, 380 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.640 share the Gospel. But if you can't do it in less than five minutes, 381 00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.640 you're ably going to lose your audience. Yeah, they're not there to 382 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.759 listen to a concert or, you know, a Soliloquy for for half an 383 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.759 hour. So share at succinctly. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that 384 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.640 and I don't know that we have and I'm not out there as regularly as 385 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.480 I used to be, but when I was out there we sort of have 386 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:25.319 a flow of things and nine twenty or so, right before the right after 387 00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.680 the doors opened in the patients are inside, we want to give kind of 388 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.799 a general proclamation touching on the three talking points, and an hour later we 389 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.839 do the same and then during the end of day, wrapping up, we 390 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:41.720 want a Gospel Message of Gospel Proclamation over the place. Be Intentional about preaching 391 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.920 the Gospel Right now. Obviously in all that you're saying you're weaving scripture in, 392 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.039 you're weaving the Gospel in, but we try to be intentional about every 393 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:57.799 day that we're out there we want to have a clear proclamation of the Gospel 394 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:06.160 that's laid out succinctly, five minutes or less and just just to be obviously 395 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.759 to give the Gospel. It's unleash the Gospel Right. It's the power of 396 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.839 God to salvation, but also to honor the Lord, and that's being out 397 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.440 there like God. We're out here to bring the Gospel, not just some 398 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:23.160 pro life message or whatever. That's right and we have kind of not veered 399 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:29.000 away from that. We don't do that as often, mostly because so much 400 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.720 we need the microphone now as the calling out that we would have been doing 401 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.279 by our voice right because of the noise that the pro abortion crowd is, 402 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:42.680 yes, making out there. But but there are a couple of things to 403 00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:48.079 be aware of. I would not talk about abortion pill reversal early on, 404 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.559 right before an abortionist is there, because you're giving them an out. I 405 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:57.319 would not talk about God's forgiveness before the abortionist arrives, before people are coming 406 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.000 out, for the same reason. You don't want to be careful that what 407 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.799 you're saying is not going to give them an out to have the abortion in 408 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:08.119 their mind and then you know the they can just then do the abortion pill 409 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:14.240 reversal or they can just then ask God's forgiveness. That would be the wrong 410 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.519 message. And then one other not to do. Don't call out on the 411 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:26.839 microphone while and unamplified counselor is calling out. Let them finish and let them 412 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.039 speak unless they can no longer be heard. Yeah, yeah, and we 413 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.079 use hand signals if we have since we're a hundred fifty feet away from the 414 00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.519 clinic. We're on the microphone. It's not like we can communicate very easily 415 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.160 with each other. We have to, you know, kind of put your 416 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.039 hand up if you're talking. You know, always watch for someone to put 417 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.480 their hands up over their mouth or whatever so that I know they're talking. 418 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.519 I shut it down if I'm on the microphone. Yeah, let them talk 419 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.440 and that I'll take back up from there. Yeah, one thing as we 420 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:02.480 wrap up that I want to talk about, and maybe we can debate this 421 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.000 a little bit. Okay, but it's music, playing music. Oh yes, 422 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.000 yeah, and compress cons go ahead with your feelings first. In time 423 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:18.359 past we had played almost the whole time we're out there, music over the 424 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.240 amplified sound. Now, it was always music that had a sense of sobriety 425 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:27.039 to it. I don't think peppy, happy music is a good thing to 426 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.279 be playing out there. I think we do need to be careful. We 427 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.920 certainly don't want to be playing secular music right, but I do think that 428 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:42.000 you can, you can create an atmosphere of worship and sobriety for the people 429 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.480 who are ministering out there by having music now. You don't want it so 430 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.319 loud that it drowns everybody out right. You don't want that and I do 431 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.039 think that there's a sense in which, especially if you're playing music with with 432 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:59.200 lyrics to it rather than just instrumental music like you're creating that that sort of 433 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.960 barrier because you're blasting music out the whole time, because quite likely, if 434 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.480 you're playing music, you're playing it the whole time and then you shut the 435 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.240 music down, to speak. That that's something I would I would kind of 436 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.440 rethink. Now one thing again, there's kind of a debate here. One 437 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.039 thing that it does do, it's it gives you authority over the atmosphere and, 438 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.680 especially when you're being worshipful and the people that are out there being worshipful, 439 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.200 there's kind of this this natural authority where you're actually taking over the atmosphere. 440 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.039 Then there's a spiritual authority. You're worshiping the Lord, you're magnifying him. 441 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.960 So I think there can be a balance. There's a lot of things 442 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.759 to consider in that. I would definitely seek the Lord about that. But 443 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.920 what you don't want to do. For sure, if you're going to play 444 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.599 music, especially if we're going to have it going the whole time, you 445 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.640 don't want to drowned out. The people who are using their natural voices can 446 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:48.480 reach out to the women going. Yeah, so I I love music when 447 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:55.480 it's again in not ongoing. Yeah, it is difficult for me. I'm 448 00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:00.000 I'm not distracted by the pro abortion people, but I am distracted by music. 449 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:06.440 Yeah, and it takes if the music is on and I have to 450 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.480 either if someone turning it off while I'm calling out or I have to call 451 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.880 out over the music. For me, that is difficult. That has always 452 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:22.880 been difficult. So I think music can be really, really powerful out there, 453 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.480 but again, I think for me it's better if it's in spurts, 454 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:31.480 not constant, and that maybe there's someone there by the microphone manning the music 455 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:37.079 and will turn it down when someone is calling out or even having a long 456 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.599 conversation so that it does not become a distraction. Yeah, I know, 457 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.319 one of the things to always teach when we talk about recon at the abortion 458 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:51.240 center knowing what's going on, being aware. Yes, because you can catch 459 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.480 a lot of things if your eyes are open and you're aware of what's going 460 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:59.839 on there. You can see different people going in and out. Also awareness 461 00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.599 and sounds and noises, like you can pick up on conversations that are taking 462 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.400 place over in a vehicle that you can maybe address and certainly be praying for. 463 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.680 If there's, you know, some fighting going on between a couple or 464 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.640 something like that, that can you could pick up on that. And if 465 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.680 you get music playing you're not able to pick up on some of the son 466 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.839 of the sounds that you could hear. That could make you more aware of 467 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.200 your surrounding. So just things to consider as far as that goes. Yeah, 468 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.480 but I think we're done with this podcast. I think you've given you 469 00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.279 guys some tips and some just things to be aware of.
