What Happens When Silence Costs Too Much

Political Noise Versus Personal Choice

SPEAKER_01 0:01

Last week on Share the Struggle Podcast, we discussed all the political nonsense getting forced down our throat. We discussed every actor and performer and artists and athlete's high horse opportunity to tell us their point of view. This week we compare and contrast the difference. As this week I took the opportunity to attend an event because I was interested in what was being discussed. Not because it was dumped on me, but because I signed up for it because it wasn't for me. As last week, my wife and I attended Turning Point Make Heaven Crowded Tour. Let me tell you something. Everybody struggles. The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The choice is completely yours. Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life. If you find strength in the struggle, and it's podcast is for you. Uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you, and they build you.

Man. 329 shows in credible. Unbelievable. So unbelievable. Man. Last week we talked about uh some of the political ads, and I'm telling you, man, as we get closer and closer to the midterm elections, I probably have 15 text messages today from uh different uh you know political yada yada yada, not to mention the countless ads that we're all subjected to. Last week we talked about, you know, these uh artists and and and musicians and athletes that want to take an opportunity to force an agenda down your throat. Uh it's one thing when we root for these people and we know how they believe uh or what they believe in, what their values are, then that's that's all good and great. We're rooting for them, we're pulling for them uh because we are aligned with them. When we're talking about somebody that puts their their faith or their values out in front of them, it's when you're blindsided by it or you're just trying to unplug, unwind, disconnect, and um really remove yourself from the craziness of the world, and it continually gets forced upon you. That's an unfortunate thing, and that's something that's been been happening that I wish would just go away. But this week's gonna be different because this week is a different week, and so that my wife and I actually attended an event that is aligned with our faith and our values, and it is a group of people with similar core values and beliefs, all united by faith. I think those are the right programs, those are the right events. We shouldn't be blurring the lines here. So last week we talked about blurred lines. Last week we talked about when you're dialed in to relax and unplugged, and you have an agenda dropped on your lap in the middle of your relaxation. This week I am talking about prescribing to something just for you and what your core values and faith line up to be. So this week I want to share with you an incredible event that I had the opportunity to attend with uh with my wife in Manchester, New Hampshire when we went to the Turning Point Make Heaven Crowded tour, and it was in tremendous

Family Errands And Holiday Prep

SPEAKER_01 5:46

time. But before I get into that deep discussion, I gotta share something funny with you because we might as well start the show off a little bit on the funny side, and it's just gonna connect all the dots because we're gonna talk about faith and we're gonna talk about the holidays, about Christmas, we're gonna put it all together, and it's gonna roll right into our topic. So, so here's the deal. Um, my wife and uh and and little Paisley and my mother and I, we've been doing a lot of things, um, trying to get caught up on on projects and and and things that um just get neglected when I'm on the road for so long. And also we found ourselves just trying to uh spend time together and go do things and and explore things and um really just take advantage of the weather before it before it disappears, right? And uh before we're overcome by the holiday season. So in between, you know, working and trying to get your everyday stuff done, we've been kind of going out on little adventures together and um you know, and nothing it doesn't have to be anything major. Sometimes we find ourselves in in New Hampshire checking out different shops and stuff, or or running errands and doing things, and you know, we're going to grand openings for tractor supplies and petting zoos, right? Nothing crazy, but just just family time. Now, um, for the past couple years, I've been trying to find the right nativity scene.

The Nativity Set Return Disaster

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Okay. Bear with me, I know we're taking a strong, strong ride here. I've been trying to find the right nativity scene for our our Christmas decorations, and I just haven't found one that I'm in love with. Well, we were at Sam's Club uh this week, or last week, I should say, and uh me and my mother both fell in love with this this really big uh nativity scene. It's not like your blow-up plastic one that goes inside outside, but it's not like the knick-knack uh tiny one that goes on a cupboard. It's good size, right? Um and uh really detailed, fantastic, loved it. Both me and my mother fell in love with it, and then we proceeded to do our shopping, and then we had the discussion about should we do it? Are we gonna do it? It's just the one, we're doing it. So we each bought one, we brought him home, and uh, I didn't really think anything else about it. Well, on um Sunday morning, my mom calls me and says, Um, hey, I've got a problem. And I said, uh, okay, like is everything is everything okay? And um mind you, I'm I'm getting ready for church at this time. Where me or me and the wife and the baby are getting ready to go to church. My mother's on the phone and she says, I I have a bit of uh an issue or or or or a problem. And uh I said, What's you know, what's what's going on? And she said, I just brought my nativity scene up and I and I opened it and um everybody's black. And I said, Yeah, well, I mean I know there was one of the wise men was uh was was black, and she says, No, like baby Jesus is black. And I said, What are you talking about, man? And she said, like, even Mother Mary is black. Well, what what are we talking about? And I come downstairs and I I open mine, I look at mine, and um, you know, little newborn Caucasian Jesus right there looking at me, and uh uh Caucasian uh Mother Mary just looking at me and uh majestic as can be, uh ready for all the glory and the holiday season has to bring, you know. And uh I go over to my and I pull the um box open and uh it's black Mary. Whoa, whoa, whoa, black Mary, wham wham, black Mary Black baby Jesus. Um I'm not racist, y'all. I'm not racist at all. And uh um, you know, I'm not opposed to people having black Jesus and Black Mary, not at all, but I just think it's an interesting odd fit for our household. You know what I'm saying? Uh growing up on white Jesus and all. And uh I said, well, I gotta go to church. I can drop this off. I just don't really know how to how do you how do you go about this return? You know what I mean? Um this one maybe they were a little heavy-handed on the paint. I I I don't know what to say here. So we uh we go to church and then we uh head over to the to the Sam's Club and we bring in the nativity set and we go up to the fella at the counter and uh said uh I'm not sure the best way to politically say this one, but um I th uh uh uh this uh I bought this nativity scene. I I bought two of them and um let's just say that um this one here's this one's black, and uh you know I got a white one at the house, but this one has uh the black black black Jesus. And uh the guy looked at me and I didn't know at this moment if he was offended that I didn't want to keep the black nativity scene, and I said, I'm I'm totally okay with everybody that believes in in black Jesus. I mean that's okay, I just don't think it really fits my household, you know what I mean? And uh then he just started laughing laughing. And Allie said, Listen, they're both right there on the shelf, like it's they're just stacked together. Maybe you should display both so people would look at the box a little better, because when you only display one, um you know what I'm saying? Like this is kind of what that's kind of what happens. I I totally blacked out, no pun intended. I didn't mean it like that. What is wrong with you, man? I um I don't remember what I said exactly. I'll have to ask the wife because she thought it was hilarious, but I was trying to be as politically correct and polite as possible about this, you know? And uh not be offensive in any way. I'm not I don't have a problem with it. I just given the choice, I'm probably you know, gonna go with the one that I know. You know what I mean? So uh that was uh nice little Sunday. Oh man. Oh, I had to share that with you. Episode 329, y'all. Let's get into it.

Why We Went To Turning Point

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Um last week I had a tremendous opportunity to go to a turning point event. Those of you that don't know turning point, turning point is uh Charlie Kirk's foundation. Um, you know that we have some Charlie Kirk tribute items on our shelves here at Lana Proud American. Our God Family Country Freedom t-shirt is our best-selling shirt of the year. Uh, it really has been since it came out at the end of last year. And um, Charlie Kirk has been a big inspiration to us. It was a um driving motivator and getting me to actually bring myself to church. So um big believers here in in the cause and and in the movement, and his unfortunate, tragic death certainly spiked a revival, and it's brought a lot of a younger generation back to church and uh or you know, to church for the first time. So really incredible. And I've been really waiting to um attend one of their events, and this time was extra special because it was in Manchester, New Hampshire, and the headline guest speaker is Caroline Levitt. And Caroline Levitt um is President Trump's former press secretary. She just retired um from the job or just stepped down, however you'd want to say it, and um uh hands down, in my opinion, the greatest press secretary in the history of the position. She was the youngest one in her position, and um she was just absolutely incredible. And uh Caroline was the headliner of the event, and I've been inspired by her and encouraged by her, and I think that a part of being a girl dad is all of a sudden your senses are up for these positive influences, these role models that um you know you you want your daughter to see. And I know it's hard for her to understand at this point, you know, a press secretary or what anything like that is, but a lot of it is just filing it away for the future, right? And a lot of it is just positive um influences, inspirations and aspirations and things for her to hope for and shoot for. And when you see somebody that's you know breaking down walls and and and setting records, you know, being uh female, the youngest press secretary, and and absolutely the best. And the control that she has over the room and um everything about her is just inspiring. And I've always really enjoyed all of the press conferences, and I was disappointed when she stepped down, but the encouraging thing about her stepping down wasn't a disagreement, it wasn't a parting of uh of opinions or philosophies, it was uh prioritizing her family. And um, she has um one, I want to say, boy right now, and then she just had uh a little girl, I think is probably about six months old now, and and um, you know, she realized and and she and she told us during the event that anybody could be the press secretary. There's so many people out there that could that could fill my shoes, but only I can be a mother to my children, and uh that's incredible. And and she said she went in and she sat down with President Trump and said, Listen, I love you, but this is my family, and I have to do this. And she said that he was so respectful and amazing and understanding, and um she shared some really incredible stories about her time on the White House and and just kind of saying that you know, like in the West, weighing everybody that's there and and how family-oriented it is, and how tightly confined it is. And she just talked about everybody being there and the kids just running around everywhere and and you know, in and out of um like the Oval Office and and just running around, all these all these kids like uh JD Vance's kids, JD and Ursha Vance, you know, um the Heg Seth family, all these um people just being closely connected and their kids running around, and and she talked about um how receptive and amazing and and and welcoming and warm the president is to the children and to the families, and how understanding he is, and how steadfast he and the entire cabinet is in their faith. And she talked about the fact that she started a Bible study for all the women in the uh cabinet to get together once uh once a week and and and have a Bible study together, and um she just went off and shared some incredible stories about everybody's faith and and um that was so heartwarming for me. And if you guys have listened to the show and you know me, you know how big of a fan I am of uh President Trump. He is hands down the greatest president of my generation. And um hearing these things were inspiring. You know, there they were there were things that um you would only hope for. You know what I mean? And and it's one of those things where your instant reaction when something like this happens, like, okay, she stepped down from her position, now you're going to attend an event. She has every opportunity to now, you know, throw some shade and kick some dust up and say, I left because this is how he is, or he's not this way in public versus behind closed doors, yada yada. And it couldn't be any more further from the from from from um from that case, you know. She just said, you know, that she she loves him and he's an incredible man and he's amazing. And uh he was she was talking about how he sat with her before he gave her the position and said, I've received multiple calls from people telling me that I should not give you this position, that you're too young and you shouldn't have it, but I believe in you and I want you to have it. And um it was just incredible, and it really just made me even that much more excited about um about this president and and what's going on with um all the members of his cabinet and everything behind closed doors. So Caroline was the headline speaker of the uh of the evening, and Allie and I had actually uh snuck in some Lao Proud American apparel that we wanted to give to her and the family. And we waited around after the show, but we never really could get to her to uh give her the items. Uh we had great seats, it was a first come, first serve scenario. We didn't even know if we would actually be able to make it in, but we were in the fourth row. It was incredible. Um having great conversation with people around us and all those things, and everybody just united and connected, you know, um, with the same the same faith and and values, and that was incredible. And there was um there was worship time, um Bryson uh Rory, I believe was his name, uh had a tremendous band. They did a um um you know a good 20 minutes, half hour of worship music, and and there was uh several speakers other than Caroline, Pastor Lucas Miles was um really kind of conducting a lot of the event, and um there was several people from Turning Point that would come up and speak, and there was a few other pastors, uh Pastor Russell Johnson from Seattle, Washington, uh Pastor Ken Bossey, and um I'm gonna get into some of the things that they said, but uh the turning point folks had a lot of great things to say and and and a lot of um just uh inspiring information when it comes to elections, and um a big underlying tone of this event was the role that churches can have in elections and the fact that they are encouraging churches to um be vocal about votes, be vocal about encouraging your members to get out and vote, and be vocal about encouraging them who to vote for because when it comes right down to it, um it really is two parties, and um one of them does not believe in Christianity. For the most part, they they don't. There's a there's a socialist, um, crazy communist left-wing movement happening in um in the uh Democratic Party, and um a lot of it is just um complete opposite of uh Christianity. A lot of it just um spits in the face of our beliefs, you know, between um the transgender stuff and and um just a lot of the the this craziness that's happening, um the the willingness to um be pro-Palestine, to want the removal of all Jews, you know, to support um you know the bombing of Israel, all these crazy things. When you start digging into some of the people that are running, and some of their their crazy uh just really satanic views on on so many things, it's never been more important for Christians to get out and really vote conservative and protect your faith. Um protect protect your faith and and and protect your country and your freedoms because this other party is really trying to take away a great foundation of America. And um, it's scary, it's scary times, and especially you know, if you have uh young ones or Grandkids or whatever in your family that um you want a right, safe future for them, then you need to get out and vote. And they're really talking about the roles that churches should have in in voting. And part of that is I'm in Maine, and we were in New Hampshire, and I believe they said it was three percent of um Christians in uh in New England, in Maine and New Hampshire specifically, actually go out and vote. Only three percent of all churchgoers, the way they looked at it, people that actually go to church like every weekend, you know, only three percent of them actually go out and vote, and that the church really should be standing up for our faith and and encouraging folks to to go vote and encouraging um folks to go vote for their faith and protect their faith. Because do your own research, you know. I'm not here to um go off about specific candidates and philosophies and things, but if you just start digging around, there's a lot of of crazy um beliefs and and crazy theories that are on the ballots for everybody's midterms. And um I really think that you just need to protect our faith. And and and I'm scared of what happens if um we start seeing this this blue wave movement of socialist Dems coming in, and um what could really happen, what could happen in this country to uh to our faith. And and there's some some glaring examples of that that we can we can kind of talk about, but um that was really an underlying tone of the entire event, you know, getting people inspired to go vote and finding ways to help vote and um and encouraging people and then the the role that church should and could

Faith And Voting From The Stage

SPEAKER_01 23:52

play in that. And uh it was really just a powerful, powerful evening. And uh some of the pastors had um some incredible speeches, and um there's literally just a couple things I want to share from uh share from them, uh, but one of them that I want to share, I'm actually just gonna go right to the audio because it's too much for me to write, transcribe, and read to you. But um Pastor Russell Johnson, who was from uh I believe it was Seattle, Washington, he was he gave a tremendous speech. And um he was talking about starting his church and and that over the past uh I think it was nine months, he had been threatened, they'd been sued, attacked, picketed, and shot at three separate times. And him and his family had to move out of their house because of active death threats towards his wife. And he had made some comments that I found extremely powerful, and one of the ones that I wrote down was what I have found is that telling the truth to a culture built on lies is a revolutionary act. And he spent a long time talking about, you know, social media and and and the the great wall that gets in place in front of us um about narratives and agendas that we need to believe, and the fear that gets placed inside us if we dare go against them. And his whole theory on everything is that he found that telling the truth in a culture built on lies is truly a revolutionary act. And there's a real powerful speech, and I I just want to get into um part of it. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna pull this part up real quick and we'll we'll digest some of this.

SPEAKER_00 25:39

The reality is that we are not editors of this gospel, we are messengers of this gospel, and this message has been preached for two thousand years, and if the Lord should tarry, it will be preached for another two thousand years without compromise. And it it it's a good reminder for the afternoon, the forehead and faster, the doctor is out of the follower, the follower. Far from it. But as far as nations go, it is the best thing afloat.

SPEAKER_01 27:28

I want to stop there for one quick second and and chime in. And you can imagine me sitting in the fourth row with goosebumps because I, for one, have um been greatly exposed to this new fad in this country where it's all of a sudden uh cool or popular to hate this country. And I've seen it more this year than I've ever seen it before, especially in our youth, uh coming in and just laughing about what it is that I'm doing, about my beliefs, about uh my dream and my business, and uh all the nights of discouragement when I think about um these kids just laughing at what I do, and and even adults arguing and and and complaining about um the American flag and and that it's just not cool to be patriotic and to have this pastor stand before us and and and call this out was incredible to me. It was absolutely incredible. There's um I'm kind of going off on a tangent here, but uh Proving Grounds, which is a four by four off-road park that we just started vending at this year. They had an event, and uh, I'm just you know pulling this off the top of my head, but they had made a a post, a picture of a of a kid uh wearing a t-shirt, and and and I'll look into the details down the road and share it with you. But the shirt said something like, Um, I'd rather serve drugs than serve this country. And um it turned into this big, this big um, you know, comment-fueled um fight online, and my wife had made a comment, you know, obviously about um standing for America and that, you know, the ridiculousness of that shirt, and you wouldn't believe the adults, quote-unquote, so-called adults in the room, um, chiming in and insulting her and uh uh just going going after her with um you know vile and hate. And um it's crazy. And and in his whole speech, it really moved me. And um I was impacted by it, and I realized I'm not alone. We're this country's going through this, and it made me even more convicted in the task at hand, it made me even more rooted into uh this all American brand. Because for those of us who do believe, for those of us who are still proud, it is our duty to be proud. It is our obligation to this great country to stand loud and proud to be American and to show everyone that we are loud and proud Americans, to show everyone there is still the majority of us that are so, so incredibly grateful and thankful and blessed to be born and living in the US of A.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

And I would venture to say that there is something more important than being polite. The whole world is on fire, and it's our job as believers to stand on the alarm. It is never loving that hard with a lot in order to not have a lot of people. And the weed stores had customers, and the abortion clinics were operating in a place like downtown Seattle was on fire. But people of faith were not allowed to gather under the threat of penalty from our elected officials.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

Pastor Russ pointed out that six years ago we were in a medical lockdown. Businesses and churches closed. If you agree with the left, you were encouraged to protest in the streets, to loot and burn businesses, but God forbid you were a conservative and a Christian, because then it was much too dangerous for you to gather in church. That is just an example, just one example of what can happen to us, to our people, to our faith, to our country if we don't vote for what we believe. His line, religion hasn't gotten political, politics has gotten religious. It it it cut like a knife. It it made so much sense to me. It made so much sense to me as to why I have been so uh just so steadfast in my beliefs, so convicted in being conservative, so just bullish about not being afraid. We can't keep sitting on the sidelines because we're afraid of who we might offend. We can't keep hiding our beliefs because we're worried about hurting somebody's feelings. That even really showed me even more how important my brand and my business is. The fact that I've been leaning so much more into a faith-based product as well, it all really started to make sense for me. And it all really showed me why I needed to be at this event and how this was calling me there. And it really um put a whole new lens on the importance of Loud Proud American and this brand and what it has to offer for for my family. It goes beyond my family. My why became greater this week because I realized to help save our faith and our nation, it's even more important to remain in business as Loud Proud American. The last line I'm gonna give you from Pastor Russ: we cannot and will not be bullied into staying silent because the cost of cowardice is simply too high.

Wearing Faith And Patriotism Out Loud

SPEAKER_01 35:27

I was recently listening to a podcast that um that I listened to, and it's um it's a it's a faith podcast, it's a religious podcast, a Christian podcast, and the topic came up about do you wear faith-based clothing? And some of the people that actually host the podcast were not really saying that they were ashamed, but hovering around the line of being afraid to wear faith-based apparel. And uh for for the people that you know, the attention it might bring, and and these folks work in the church too, and and they and and I understand their philosophy of I'd rather encounter you without you having a perceived notion of me or what I believe and how I stand, because then maybe I could have a greater impact on you if you uh don't just make an assumption on me. And I can understand that, but that really sat with me for a while. And when I went to this this conference and I started thinking about my brand and my mission even more, and I've been thinking about this for weeks since I heard that podcast, when I thought, it's never been more important, it's never been more important to show your faith. Because for multiple reasons. Number one, for people that do have faith, that that do believe that are Christians, I truly feel like it gives them courage to show their faith. I feel like it makes them realize they're not alone, that other people feel the same way too. And for people that are afraid to maybe explore their faith, maybe they're afraid to learn more about God. When they see somebody that looks like them, when they see somebody that reminds them of them, I think it can encourage them and it can maybe break down those those walls of fear, those chains of doubt. And much like faith, the same concept lives for all our patriotic apparel. Because there's people out there that are patriots, that are afraid to show their patriotism, because like Pastor Russ said, there seems to be a pocket of society that feels that it's it's cool to hate this country. And there's some people out there that are afraid to be loud and proud towards this country. It's never been more important, it's never been more critical to embrace our faith and to showcase our patriotism. And that and this message really motivated me to continue and to push. Now, really, we've only talked about two presenters of the evening, and uh, there's a couple more that I want to talk about, but I really think this is a great opportunity to to put a bow on this week's show. And you know, I really encourage everybody to maybe go back and listen to um what Pastor Russell Johnson had to say. I'll actually include his whole message in um in the show notes as well. I'll put a link to that, and I'll even put a link to the entire entire evening for us. If anybody wanted to uh you know to take a look and and listen, feel free to do so. I encourage you to do so and and and to support. But I feel like the next part takes a little bit of a shift, and uh maybe I can actually uh convince my wife to join me on that part. The hard part's gonna be um, you know, if we can find a little free time from the from the queen. Um but maybe she could um join me because there was some challenges that were issued, and uh I would like to maybe have her share her side of it, and um, and something that I went on to realize a few days after and that impacted me and um and share some some statements and a story that brought me to tears to close the evening. But overall, what an incredibly powerful night, and um something that I was so incredibly grateful to share with my wife and and to think about just how much our life has changed, and that a night out on the town, a night away for us, was you know, driving the three-hour round trip to New Hampshire to attend a turning point, make heaven a crowded tour to further our faith, to deepen our faith, to expand our spirituality.

How My Life And Habits Changed

SPEAKER_01 40:08

Far different than a previous night out on the town for me and my wife. My favorite bar and landing spot, resting spot, uh most commonly used watering hole, um, a place that has meant so much to me and um been such a big part of my life, just opened and closed for 2026 without me having one single drink at that event or at that establishment, I should say. It's nothing against um the the location, the people, or the place. I love everybody, and it's been a tremendous part of me. But it's wild for me to see how much has changed in me to have my my favorite local place only a couple miles down the road. Unintentionally, I realized I went April, May, June, July, August, September, October, eight months without stopping in once for a drink. I can't say that in that eight months I haven't had drinks, but they've certainly paled in comparison to what I used to be, to who I once used to be. And I'm not saying that there's not gonna be times when um I'm gonna like to go out and party and go on vendors, and when you when you live on the road with the boys, and sometimes uh you're vending at bars to drink all night, and that is what it is, but a big portion of me has changed, and um I've realized that a large portion of me has been filled by my faith that has been filled by Jesus. And I hope that that grows in me, and I hope that that grows in each and every one of you. And uh I didn't expect to end the show on this note, but as I'm just sharing this and thinking about Well, getting getting the daycare, you know, getting the getting the babysitter for the for the night out on the town. That's what we chose. Time is a wonderful, mysterious thing. Oh how it changes. Man. What a wild, wild world. What an incredible time. I hope today's show convinced some of you to get out and vote, to vote for your faith. I hope it convinced you to be proud of who you are, your values, your faith, and your beliefs. And do not be ashamed to always stand for who you are. And if you're a loud, proud American, wear what you stand for. Thank you for supporting my American dream. Happy Halloween, y'all. I'll catch you at the uh Arundel Ford Trunk Retreat, Arundel Ford, Route 1, a rundle. You'll save a bundle when you get a bunch of free candy, and you listen to me, your boy, DJ, for all the trick-or-treaters out there. Happy Halloween. Thank you for supporting my American dream. Now go wash your friggin' hands. You filthy savage. That's it, and that's all, Biggie Smalls.

Closing Thanks And Where To Find Me

SPEAKER_01 43:57

If you're a Loud Proud American and you find yourself just wanting more, find me on YouTube and Facebook at Loud Proud American or FacePage, as my mama calls it. If you're a fan of the Grand Pracket, you want to find me on Instagram for all the kids, a tickety-talket on the TikTok, you can find me on both of those at loud underscore crowd underscore America. Big old thank you to the boys from the gun truckers for the background beats and the face podcast. If you are enjoying what you're hearing, track down the gun truckers on Facebook just motherfuckers. Now go wash your fucking hands, you filthy savage.
