Can I ask you something? Were you in an abusive home?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Are you comparing a disease to a pregnant woman?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
They will affect you. It won't affect you right now. But the same way that you want to affect that baby in the womb because of the way you believe, it will grow and affect other homes. I think right now, just from speaking to you, dude, I think that you have the heart to stand up for what's right. Absolutely. And I believe you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
And I believe you when you said that you don't have any peace in your heart right now. I believe you. So what I'm saying is everybody here who's like, ooh, he got him. He got him. But remember, all of you guys who believe in Jesus stand here and mock. But you guys were equally at one point lacking wisdom before God gave it to you guys. Yes. So please don't, as a Christian, break and throw a stone.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
That's not how we should be representing Jesus.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
But from my perspective right here, right now, I will stand up for the baby that cannot speak for itself because my God told me. So what I want to do, just closing this chapter out, is on the way out, I really do, all of the people that chanted and booed, remember your God is watching you. Pray for this gentleman because he just admitted to you he's with no peace.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Give this man peace on the way out. Show him what Christians do, please, guys.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
I appreciate that you're actually looking around.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Great mindset.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Is there any ideas that bother you?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
We're saying that's the reasoning.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
So if you saw a bunch of cultures that were growing in America and they're like, land of the free, we could do it. Conceive and kill, conceive and kill. You're okay with this?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Okay, fair, fair. But say they are just, you know, in your heart, they're only getting her pregnant so they could kill it at nine months, eight months, six months.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Isn't growing in the womb an action?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Sure. That's what I just said.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
May I ask you a question if you don't mind? Of course, yes. Let's put this really, really dark thought away. Rape is a terrible thing to be around. And it's a tough conversation to have. But it does happen.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Absolutely. But let's just put that right here for a second. But if the woman was completely healthy, do you feel like she has the right, if she could healthily give the baby, do you think that she has the right to kill that baby as well?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Now, can I ask you something? If, God forbid, you loved a woman and she was pregnant with your child and you wanted this child with all of your heart, you dreamt about this child, and she has every right to walk into this building and remove your son away from you, you don't find that hurtful?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
From my perspective, it seems to me that Satan has captivated your heart to the most beautiful thing a woman goes through is childbirth. If you ask my mom what was the best day of her life, it's giving birth. That is your perspective. That is not a true perspective.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
And also you said if she was fine, it's fine.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"Are You Grateful to Be Alive?": More from ASU ft. George Janko
Can I ask you a question? Of course, please. Are you happy? Do you have peace in your heart? No, I don't. Okay. And I feel for you, bro. I think the first step right now is to give you love and peace. And then you'll be able to understand where we're coming from because I love you, bro. And I'm so happy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Before we get, is my mic on? I don't know. Did you guys hear me? I love you guys so much. Thank you guys for coming here. Before he goes and asks me questions, I just wanted to give this man the flowers that he deserves. If there was a time that this country had a turning point, it is because this man and men like him got on their feet. They said no to this country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
OK, so this is just like an honest take. And remember, I'm 31. I just started learning. Right. So like any I'm January 3rd.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Yeah, that's crazy. But the one thing that I learned is humility plays a big part in Jesus working with you. And a lot of people would come up to me like, oh, my God, the way you preach, the way you preach, the way you preach. But I never preached. All I did was work on my flaws in front of the world. And there God was able to grow fruit. It wasn't because I was telling people, hey, follow me.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
It's because I was showing people, hey, don't do this because I almost robbed myself. And hey, listen, I learned this. So once I took the time to ask Jesus Christ, hey, what do you want from me? Everything in my life became fruitful. everything in my life became fruitful.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
So if you're going to college or you're starting a career or you have a talent or you have something in your life that you've been working on and you can't get it done, I truly say that if you think you're talented now, if you think you're wise now, if you think that you're sharp now, wait until you go to the King of Kings and say, hey, what do you want from me? You are who you hang out with.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Can anybody agree? You know, it's so funny. What are we like in the gospel? We're sheep. I don't know if you ever hung out with sheep before, but they do two things. They act like the other sheep next to them, and then they scream for help all the time. That girl just laughed like a sheep. I don't know if you guys heard that. But no, no, no, we're sheep.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
So if we're going to be sheep and you are who you hang out with, then start your morning with Christ. Fill yourself up with the Holy Spirit so that way when you walk outside of the house, you're not acting like your friends who don't believe in Jesus Christ, but your friends will start acting like you who are reflecting Jesus Christ.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
I think a lot of people are inspired of where I was at and then where God took me. And I think people need to read the gospel. I think we got into a very lazy generation where people would rather have another man tell them what God is saying. But like, how many of you guys like listening to me talk? I appreciate it. But what if I told you I'm a pile of dirt?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
And nothing I say should ever be something you guys should take to heart. I am a man trying to figure it out. And the only reason that I may give you goosebumps or may put you on the right path is because you're giving an inkling, a tiny percentage of what I brought from Christ to you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
So imagine where our country would be if we stop asking our neighbors what we could do and if we start asking Jesus what we could do. You know, I want to leave you guys with this. When I was a little kid, I dressed up as John F. Kennedy. And I had one line. And the line was, don't ask what the country could do for you, but what you could do for the country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
And I stand before you guys as George Janko, and I'm saying this truly to you guys, our people, our family, for our kingdom. Stop asking your neighbors, your country, your family, what you should be, how you should act, and what you should be doing. Go to your creator. Go to Christ. He knows you more than you'll ever know. And he loves you with all of his heart.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
The one thing I'm going to leave you with is, the problem is you do not know Jesus enough. The truth is you do not know how much Jesus loves you. Because if you would have known that, you would have ripped your clothes off, gone to the church, put your head onto the ground, and did nothing besides worship the way the angels in heaven are worshiping God.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Thank you guys so much.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
They grabbed their families and they stood up for the word of God. People like this. So, Charlie, thank you so much, bro. It's such a pleasure, brother. It's such a pleasure.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Yeah, and he's a robot. I want you guys to know that. He is always working. Always working.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
No, he was sitting and he was just like... I'm not exaggerating. He was like this... And I'm like, dude, whatever he's looking at is serious. And I pass by, and it's a football game. I have no idea how he's doing so much at once, but he was watching a football game back there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Well, I got to speak from my heart. And the truth is I was not following the word of God. I slept before I was married. My wife followed me wherever I went. And I was the one that convinced her, you know, we should live together. And I lived in the world where is Jesus going to get mad at me? I mean, is he going to get angry at me?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
And the truth is after I got married and I saw all the beauty behind it, he wasn't angry. He was sad.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
when he sees that i chose the secular world and what they feared and i listened to their music and i listened to their movies i i feared the wrong thing i feared what they told me to fear hey dude get out of your system now because when you get married oh dude you got to get out of your system now get what out of your system when am i getting out of my system
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
When I got married, I got on my hands and knees and I bawled my eyes out because what he was giving to me, I was pushing this blessing away from me. I pushed the beauty of marriage away from me and I taught everybody around me. I go, no, it's cool. Dude, get out of your system. Be like this. But I've learned really quick that if you fear anything besides God, you're going to pay for that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
And through the grace of God, he gave me an incredible woman. And through that, I learned how to be a husband. I learned how to be a better son. I saw what my mom was doing that I didn't appreciate. There's so much reflection of Christ behind that. Of course, the devil doesn't want you to get married.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Yeah, one is full of joy and peace and security, and the other one is like, bro, like, they just keep trying to find this happiness and joy that only Christ could bring to a marriage with the clubs and these women and all this stuff. And I promise you, I know there's a bunch of you out there that are like, yeah, dude, but not me. But I promise you, man, like, clean yourself up. Clean yourself up.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
If you truly, truly are a man of God and you're like doing the, I'm waiting until God brings me the right woman, how dare you? Why would he bring you that woman when you're acting like a child? I am the head of my household, but he is the head of everything.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
So how could he give me something to manage and grow with and build and teach and sharpen if me, myself, I'm acting arrogant and selfish and stupid? Anything that goes with against the word of God is foolishness. It's foolishness.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Don't listen to the world. Listen to God. Plain and simple. I could say another 10 minutes of something, but the truth is this. God didn't give you these rules and regulations because he sits on a throne and he's like, yes, follow my lead. He gave it to you because he's your father. He gave it to you because he loves you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
The fear of God isn't me being, oh, I'm scared to disappoint him because he's going to unleash pain on me. The fear is the same fear that I have with my father on earth. I don't want to disappoint him. He's sacrificed too much to me. So, Just think, we've lived in a world where everybody wants to give their truth. There's no such thing. There's only one truth. There's only one way.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
There's only one.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Well, that's a great question. There's a Bible verse that I never understood. And it was so like weird to listen to. There was a gentleman that wanted to bury a relative of his. And he goes up to God and he goes, I love you, but I got to go. I got to bury my cousin. And you would think that our God that is so loving would be like, yeah, I get that. Go bury him. Come back.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
But he said one thing that shook me to my core. He said, let the dead bury the dead. And I didn't understand that until I was absolutely at the best place of my career, had the best finance, had the best situation. Everything I begged God for was at my feet or at my possession. And I'm looking around and I feel like that dead man. And I asked God, God, how is it that I feel dead here?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
But when I was working at Five Guys, I felt alive, right? And he whispered in my heart, not audibly, but he said, because when you were flipping burgers, you thought about what I wanted, not what you wanted. And when I took that and I was like, okay, then what do I do? And he goes, stop being selfish. Every time you go and talk to me, you talk about yourself. You talk about your needs.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
How can I send you to go do great work if all you're concerned about is yourself? So I humbled myself and my new prayers are, Lord, I want to walk in the spirit and have fruits of the spirit. And I want to talk to somebody who, you know what they always say? Be careful what you pray for. You know who says that? Satan.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
If any man ever tells you again, be careful what you pray for, shut his mouth and say, no, no, no, no, no, no. Prepare for what you pray for. Prepare for what you pray for. Following Jesus isn't for the weak. It's the toughest thing I've ever had to do in my life. But he did all of the work. He did all of the work. What I realize this, and I hope this seed plants is into your heart.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
When you meet the almighty God and you could today, John chapter one says that the flesh, that the word became flesh. And he gave us these beautiful words, the Bible. I joke and I say basic instructions before leaving earth. And what I've learned and I tell new Christians is this. Prepare to be in the presence of a light you have never experienced before.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
That when you stand, I'm so sorry I have to get up. I can't just sit down. But when you stand before God, you're going to be in such a bright atmosphere that you all of a sudden realize who you are. and you see your flaws, and you see your ickiness, and you say, well, why would he ever want me?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
And I want you to know, if any man stands before you and says, clean yourself up first, you're not ready to meet God. He goes against the scripture. Jesus says, come as you are. Do not wait.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
do not wait to meet the king of peace you could never work for what he's going to give to you for free it's a gift it is a gift you don't have to work for a gift christmas is around the corner one of you have any of you worked for that gift so then why do we question our god for salvation and the only thing you need to do is realize what the truth is and to be honest charlie
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
The reason why we're in a dark place right now in this country, and a lot of people might get mad at me for saying this, we kicked God out of this country. You can't complain about the schools after you took God out of the schools. You cannot get upset about the government when you know damn well they don't care about Christ. But they did before when we were prospering.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
So all it takes is one person to stand up and says, no, I'm not going to believe the lie. You can tell the snake, grab the apple, kick a rock. I follow my God, my King.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Uh, pain and sorrow. You know what I'm saying? I grew up in a Middle Eastern house and my parents would never spare the rod. You know what I mean? And I look at some households and I'm like, oh, they spared the rod. Like, for sure. If you ever look at some kids that are not scared of their parents, those guys are psycho. They need to go away.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
If you're not scared of your parents, there is no order to the stature of where you live. I'm terrified of my dad. You know why? Because he was a good dad. He was there for me. I didn't talk back to my mom. You want to know why? Because she'd rip my tongue out of my mouth. And so I think that what we need to do is stop being a parade.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
You know, Ben Carson and I had a conversation and he said something so beautiful to me. He said, we cannot be the land of the free if we're not the home of the brave. And so I got to ask you guys, what are you brave about? People come up to me all the time. They're like, bro, I love the way you speak about Jesus. I'd be like, dude, why are you scared about talking about Jesus?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Have you not read the gospel where there was millions of people against barely anybody and all they did is dance and sing and praise God and all the armies fell down to their feet and you're scared about a social media post? You're scared that somebody's going to unfollow you? You're scared you're not going to have enough followers? Jesus had 12. One unfollowed him.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Let me ask them, are you guys ready for a revival? It makes me really, really, really happy to see our kids getting excited about it. And can I say something, and this has nothing to do with what we are talking about, but I pray that the Spirit of God helps me speak this. But guys, the only people we have to be worried about is the people here, our neighbors. We are too busy dividing each other.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
A house that is divided cannot stand. And I see more Christians going after Christians than I've ever seen in my life. If you have a problem, there's no problem with righteously judging a man. But you better bring the word of God to the table if you're going to point your finger at another man. I love every single one of you guys for being here because you guys have the fear of God in you guys.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
But remember, if we only had fear, then we wouldn't really know who Jesus is. And if Jesus came down with an attitude and an anger to wipe out the people that didn't understand, none of us would stand. So the next time you see your neighbor who does believe in God, but maybe his traditions, maybe his worship, maybe his words, maybe his church is not perfect to the word of God.
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
But why don't you be the one that God sent to help this man get on the right path instead of being like what the devil wants you to be and kick him while he's down and say, you're crazy. We have enough people in this country to say that we're crazy for believing in Christ. My sister and I don't always agree, but there will never be one of you guys that could take us apart from each other. Why?
The Charlie Kirk Show
God’s Way is Better Than Man’s — Live at AmFest with George Janko
Because she's my family. And if you say that Jesus is Lord and King, you are my family, regardless of where you're from.

Bro, you go in and out of like, I can't reel in what is real and what is fake.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Now, is that because it's a better education or you want them to have that relationship with God?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So you're holding your other baby, and you're like, man. Okay, question. This is actually a serious question. Was the love of your kid reminded you like that you're his kid? And then you're like, man, I would want my kids to have a relationship with me.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Yeah. Like, did you feel like you're stealing the joy that these kids could steal from you if they left you?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Right? Well, he's our father in heaven. Yeah, but I'm saying... Bro, you're a Catholic. The beginning of the prayer is our father that hour in heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You know what I mean? I got to say, the first minute and 30 seconds of this episode was jam-packed. That was insane. Welcome back to The George Janko Show. I am with Chris DiStefano. And if you guys have not heard of this man, he is absolutely hilarious. He is actually on tour right now. So please go get his tickets and come watch him live.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Okay, I see where you're getting that. You know what I'm saying? I see where you're getting that. You've been fully chosen. I actually speak the language he spoke when he was down here. I'm Assyrian. Did he actually speak Syrian? He spoke Aramaic, yeah. I have his writing right here.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
It was a really cool moment when I'm watching The Passion of Christ, and I'm like, whoa, dude, I get this.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Does your wife have a job or is she a full-time mom and –
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Well, dude, that's a blessing. That's such a blessing.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Well, also, but you're touring a lot, too, so you're away from them.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I'm so sorry for my throat. Dude, it's all good, man.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
but dude, that's a blessing that you understand that. A lot of people don't grasp that and they always try to achieve more and more, but sometimes more isn't great.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I was just talking to Reed and Bell about this. The idea of like making it in our head is like, we're at the top, but it's truly holding something up. for a whole long time. And then you start getting weak and tired and then you start getting overwhelmed that it might crush your loved ones.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I mean, dude, you're being the best father and husband.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
No, I mean, that mindset you are, bro. For real. For real, for real. That is a mindset that every child would dream that their father had and every father dreamed that their kids would obtain. That is a great mindset.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
When we first started dating and she started realizing what my finances were, I got a little nervous because I was like, man, I don't want her to think I'm cheap because I'm not going to buy her pearls and diamonds and stuff. And I sat her down and I said, if you bear with me and we grind and we store this and we invest this.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I go, there'll be a day that you look at your children and your mother and my mother and nobody will need. Nobody will need. And that's freedom.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
The way people buy things now and they try to make themselves look stronger and more successful, it's like, dude, I'd rather look broke and quiet in the corner.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Have you ever gone through a time in your career?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
What caused this? What caused this spur in the heart? Because, bro, if I put money on the table, I know a lot of good men. They're like, I love my kids, but this is for my kids. And they could always convince themselves to chase the dollar. What made money not your God?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You're both good scores. Let's go. Dude, before we get started, I want them to picture who you are. But to picture who you are, it's kind of picturing who you came from, who you are about, what family you came from.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Also, to attain freedom, you have to get rid of your bondage and slavery, and that's debt. A lot of people live beyond their means. Sure. Yeah, and that's a big thing. Like, you could be working at a fast food restaurant, or you could be a doctor. But if you don't know how to spend your money, you're always going to be in bondage.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Is there a way you could sustain it and just do podcasts or stuff like that at your house?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So why don't you just run it up for maybe a few more years?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I feel that. Yep. There's a story that you told once, and I think about it every time I see your face. Every single time I see your face, I think of this because it's super relatable to me. My dad came from a different country. What country? Iraq. Iraq. And so the way he raised me, the big guy, you know what I mean? And like, he raised me very, uh, first generation American.

I pray that you get to a situation where you're like, okay, cool. Just these two months out of the year, I'm out. And then the next 10 months, I'm with my family. Because you're going to need some space, bro. Because if you sit with your family forever and always, you're going to be like, oh, man.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So you're holding on to something you've always wanted.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Have you ever asked your mom how her relationship with her parents were?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So her experience with love is, like... Different. So she gave you the best she could.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Do you hold your mom and say, I love you?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
No, I think you should, and I'll tell you why, bro, because I bet when, like, this is what I've learned. When I got a wife, all it did... was like with my mom, obviously. All I did with my mom is highlight everything that she did. And so like, it's a beautiful reflection and it's such a beautiful gift from God.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So like whatever God is planting in your life right now in your garden and blessing it, you should bring the first fruits to your mom because she never got it from her generation before her. So if you start hugging her and saying, I love you, and you train your kids to be like, hey, go up to grandma and hug her. She might be reciprocating.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
And, uh, when I heard that your dad would handle business the way that he handled business, I relate to that because my father didn't really understand, uh, boundaries and rules. Can we talk about the story where he got into it with your principal?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
They're giving the same energy back and forth.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
They're literally – a child is an empty cup and whatever you're filling into them, they will do the same. So like when they see grandma and grandpa, and this is the energy they're giving them, but when they see their dad and they're like hugging and kissing, they're going to reciprocate it. But if you train them at a young age, and this is the craziest part of it.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
If you train them that like, Hey, like, you know, grandma didn't get the same love that we did. Not only are they going to learn within the family. Oh, she needs more love than an average human being. Right. They'll be able to have more empatheticness and sympathy when it comes to their own students or friends. They'll notice, okay, that's like a dad and that's like my grandma.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Okay, so I know how to love these people differently, if that makes any sense. It's a strong tool for them to have.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Well, think about it. Fertilizer shit. Yes. Right? So the shit that they had in their heart, in their life, and in that manure, they planted a seed, Chris. And that's where your comedy developed. That's where your skill set developed. If you didn't have that life, you wouldn't have the life you have now. So it's truly just giving it back. You're just replanting.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You're just planting the things that they missed. So it's just the love aspect. And it's unfortunate because they gave you the best that they can. And, dude, God blessed it. Like, you travel the world now. Yeah, doing it. The United States.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
And occasionally in the U.K. Yeah, occasionally in the U.K. But what they gave you, their absolute best, is what your fruits came from. And for you to go bring back the one thing, it's hilarious to see it. you say it all the time. You're like, money's not going to be the aspect that fixes this. It's relationship. It's time. It's love. It's hugs. It's kisses. And that's all they need.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You taking care of their financial things just puts rest in their heart that they did enough. They're like, okay, cool. My son is successful. I made sure that I would break the principal's legs before he gets out of school. But if you come and you give him a hug and you say, hey, I appreciate what you gave me. I'm a father now. I know you gave me your best.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You will literally watch them turn back into children and like, It's the older they get, the more childlike they become.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I would do it. I swear to... Can we go? I don't know if I actually can go. What if they're like, isn't that George's son?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Dude, your laugh is diabolical by the way.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Wait, wait, wait. Pause, pause. Did you really break a chair over his head? So you were about that life.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You know what you should have said? Be like, we already went through this. The intern found over 500 things. The kids could search, but it cancels each other out.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
wild shit and doing comedy and like expressing yourself that's why your fans signed up so it is crazy that we like the modern day famous man has a direct connection right it doesn't have the middleman networks or the record labels or not as much necessary going back to you talking about your family on stage the dude there is positives to this because i watched this with joe coy he would say stuff about his son and i was i would be in the audience and be like damn bro like that's crazy that you're saying that
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
But as a child before that moment, were you the type to break a chair over somebody's head?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
And then I turned to his son and his son just sitting there smiling. So depending on the relationship, they're like their best friends and like the father and son figure, which is so cool. But he would welcome him on stage. Right. And the audience would go crazy. And I just sat there and I was like, oh my God, the audience literally... went through his childhood with him.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Like when 10 years ago or five years ago, when he was telling these jokes about his son being this, and now he's this age and now he's a teenager and now he's going to get married. They literally grow with this child and the stories with them. So that's pretty special.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So it was just in the spur of the moment.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
What does this have to do with you giving the stage time to your loved ones? It gets to their heads.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
It's a tricky thing, bro. I realize this. Fame and money and any type of power that falls into the hands that somebody didn't work for it.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
They don't understand what they're wielding.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I'm just saying, I don't know that it's... I think it's wrong. Don't do it. It will ruin their development.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
My daughter, I told about like my daughter, my kids are not even touching technology until they've adapted into the world. Like they have to be a part of the world. Now, mind you, we don't want to deprive them to the point where they're older. They don't even know how to use technology.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
But it gets to the point where like, bro, like when I see parents just put iPads in front of the kids, like that's lazy, bro. Don't do that.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I think that it's going to be different for our children versus how we were raised. We were raised with dial-up, and then it went up to high-speed internet, and then we were just sitting in front of a screen. I think technology with AI and those helmet stuff, I think they're going to start breaking sweats when they're gaming. I think they're going to be running around.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I went into this thing where it was like, I forgot what it's called.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
The VR world. Bro, I had so much fun in that place. Yeah. And I was drenched in sweat. And I was like, whoa, bro. I had a great time having fun in this technology world. But also, I was breaking a sweat. Very different from us. I think the unhealthy part of technology is that we're just sitting still. Our neck is bent down. I think they're going to fix that problem. Fix that up.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
tell me i think it became godless right i swear i think it came down to as simple as this our country became so godless didn't want anything to do with god and now people are like wait a second those people are very depressed yeah very lost yeah uh let me give what grandma and grandpa was talking about a trial right i think and i think even that has to be balanced because like if you look at history i love history at times when
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
A relationship with God. Yeah. It's too much religion. It could be too, it's not, nobody said be a religious man in the Bible.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
It's crazy that we went from that to OnlyFans. I know it sounds like I'm joking, but I'm being so serious. Imagine technology just came in right now where they could bring people back from the dead from like 50, 60 years ago. They would be like, no, bring me back. I don't want to be here. Bury me again. Kill me. I don't want to be here.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
That's a fear of mine because there's a lot of times where I feel like an old man where I don't catch up with technology stuff. And I'm like, oh man, what happens in 25 years from now, 35 years from now? Technology is rapidly growing. My thirst for trying to learn is going to die. And I'm going to get to an age where I'm an old man and I don't know how to go to the grocery store.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I can't pay for things. I think it's going to get to that level.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Is this the person you have on your podcast?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Also, was this the person that got in their head with fame?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Chris, I love you guys. You've given me something to think about. I'm excited about this episode. Are we rolling, Reed? Reed is literally about to hit roll and then just take off and get my man Chris some muffins.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
T.T. Jerry. What caused this person to go to prison?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Well, I think it's probably because when that person was selling weed, it was like, in America's time, it was like him selling cocaine.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
So they probably were like, it's not the point of, like, if it's okay now. It's that you chose while it was wrong.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Well, that's what World War One ended over. They went towards the winter war.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Dude, I'm telling you, God was with George Washington.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I love that you know so much about history. You do have to make an exit because you have to go somewhere.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I want to make sure that I ask you this because I feel like something great would come out of this. Ask me a question. Do you know anything about pirates?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Somalian pirates? So I don't know anything about pirates, but I just found out the other day that they're still pirates. Somalian pirates. What does that mean?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Do you ever get worried when you hear, like, oh, we might go to war? You just don't get worried about it? Because I have a friend, Kaveh, and he doesn't even... What's his name? Kaveh. He's Persian. And he literally just goes, whenever you get nervous, he goes, go home and see how much we spend on military.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Do you think they're still going to be using soldiers like Navy SEALs or is it all technology now?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I heard that that war is coming to an end. Thank God.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Get the right thing in November. My last question is, is there anything else you would like to say to them before you leave? And by the way, out of all podcasts, this is one of my favorites. Really? You are unbelievable.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
No, I mean, I feel like we could have sat here for hours.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
It's good that you don't. Nobody wants to start trying. Only Ari Shafir starts doing drugs in his 40s.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
All right, so you guys know that I already have a clothing line called The Heart of David. But what you guys don't know, and I actually don't break this down too much, the quality is insane. People that come up to me at the gym and they're wearing the clothing, the first thing they say is, dude, the quality of this is amazing.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I think the reason is, is because I got like the higher quality stuff, but I don't sell it for higher quality priced. And I just wanted people to represent the thing that I love the most. And then it's like my faith. So when I'm at the gym or I'm at the gas station, anywhere, any place, people will be encouraged by the words that encourage me. That's from the gospel.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
If you're looking for good quality garments, I think you guys should check out The Heart of David. And to be honest, if you don't like the quality, just return it. We'll give you a full money back. I love you guys. And thank you guys so much for supporting me. Thank you guys so much for supporting me. All right, back to the show.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
I love it. Speaking of union, I heard you got back with your union. Are you back to being Catholic?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Before we even got started, I asked him how many times he's been here, and he goes, as least as possible. You hate L.A. You're a New York guy.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Reed, the time that you left, bro, I really wish you would have stayed.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
By the way, by the way, giving him a bag like that after the story he just told is hilarious.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
You know, it's so funny. The day I met him, he could have killed me.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
The way he's eating it in the mouth. I like you. Do a nice ASMR eating. I met him on Craigslist. Really? And I invited him to my house at 11.30 at night. I literally had a pistol tucked away because I thought he was going to kill me.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
He had long, long hair, too. He had long, long hair. It looks good now. It's so funny. Now we took merch pictures of him the other day, and I was like, oh, my God, he's a model.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
Also, I grew up during 9-11 when I was a little boy, and no white girl would ever talk to me. So the little me inside married a beautiful white girl like her just made me... Because at that time... It was impossible.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
My mom would have to near it. And this is I'm not joking. This is a true statement. When 9-11 happened, they had the therapists and the principal had to pull me aside because everybody kept calling me. A terrorist. They're like, oh, he's A-Rab. He's A-Rab.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
That would have scared people. Hey, it's just a goof. Yeah. And so they pulled me aside because they thought I was going to be heartbroken that everybody kept calling me A-Rab. And I was really excited that they stopped calling me Pablo. So I was like, no. Seriously.
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101
How are you back to your Catholicism and not any fear of God by saying that?
The George Janko Show
The Chris Distefano Interview | EP. 101

When you're starting to learn how to shave and you just cut yourself and you show up to school and it looks like you have a bunch of hickeys around your neck, but you got no girls because you don't even know how to shave yet.

Yo, I am so pumped that I get to say this for the very first time. I've actually dreamt about saying this. We're going on tour and tickets are now out and available for you guys. Man on Water Tour starts in September, but make sure you guys get your tickets now because I guarantee you they are going to go out. To get tickets, go to thegeorgejangoshow.com for tickets right now.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That is beautiful. You know, Peter, when he was on the water with Jesus, we always say, like, why did he sink? It's because he took his eyes off of Jesus and he looked at the problem. And I realized that sometimes people that are preaching for God, they take their eyes off of Jesus and they put it on themselves. And like, that's when you start sinking.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I have to keep telling myself, the war is not in your hands. We shine when we take the glory away from us, when we take our own wisdom off of us, when we take people's eyes off of us and put it onto Jesus. That's when we shine.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But because of the comments that we read, because we have to, and it's our job, and because our job is intertwined with our name and what we do, we forget what we're doing sometimes. It's not because we want to.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's because we're trying to work for God so much, then we start talking about our works in front of him, and he takes a step back a bit because you're talking about ourselves a little bit too much. And then he comes back in. So I just want to let you know, bro, what you found on your own at the age of 21, people in their 40s and 50s still struggle with, and they don't even understand it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They don't understand. So I'm super, super proud of you, dude.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Later on today, she goes, when I said that to Bar... I knew it. We're having him as a guest soon, and we're very excited about that. Ruslan, you are a man who's able to really go up against the grain, dude. We talk about things all the time. I get off the phone with you every time, and I'm like, I gotta be doing way more, bro. This guy is going...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
up for it what is what's causing the resilience what's causing you to keep climbing even on the days that like dude you you would say like the craziest day to me and be like but it's all good i'm doing this this and that and i'm like dude if god gave me like a quarter of that right now i would be like freaking out and you're so humble about it what's the secret to keep your eyes your eyes on jesus and not sinking underneath the water
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So say what happens if I do? What happens if I... And you keep practicing it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that's the thing. It's just like an addiction or something like... Thank God I am not a slave to pornography anymore. But I know a lot of good men that love their wife, but they're a slave to pornography. Great husbands, great fathers, but they are just...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
but here's another thing is like they can convince themselves it's no big deal but what happens to the guy like me where I straight up know I'm doing something wrong and that's what scares me the most is that I know it's easier for that guy because he doesn't really know but I know I literally will have a great conversation with you guys and then not anymore but I would have rolled up a J right afterwards and just smoked it and you knew it was wrong I knew it was wrong yeah I would say God disciplines those he loves you know and that's a scary place to be like if we're in the process of practicing sin knowing it is sinful then
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just want, my heart wants to scream something. Like, above it all, the one thing that just kept shining through it is like, the beautiful timing of her at that time racing you to church. If her time was going to be any time in her life, it excites me that she had a new relationship with Jesus and that you made a great impact. And I pray that you have a tremendous amount of peace.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I pray that God could use this for his kingdom. And one day you could look at it and um, have more of an idea of why, even though we wrestle with that question all the time, it's, uh, it's, it's inspiring, man. When I got off the phone with you, I know you said I spoke life to you, but it spoke way more life to me, man.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like your, your obedience to him during that like type of weather, it was honorable, man. It puts things in perspective. Like, you know, like what am I actually complaining about? And look how my brother is like dealing with something versus how I deal with the small things. And so just as your brother, bro, you've inspired me in so many ways. And the craziest part is not by your actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I mean, not by your words, but your actions. It wasn't your podcast that motivated me to be a better man. It was the way that I saw you behind the curtains dealing with things that made me behind my curtains deal with certain things. So I'm praying for you, dude. Thank you, man.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So, okay. So let's think, let's like kind of draw this out. This is how I was thinking about it. And let me see if like my brain is right. Your sin will separate you from God and God's glory and God's blessings. Not saying that it's going to ruin your salvation because we're all sinners. But if a man is drunk but loves God, right?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Guys, I think we've landed the episode. I think this was everything I could ever dream about. I think everybody not only showed up, but they showed Christ. And I think that was like the best part of it. We're all still learning. And so I really do want to encourage you guys to call me whenever you need me. The same way that I bug these guys all the time. This guy and this guy and this guy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want you guys to realize that in the kingdom, we're brothers and sisters, and we're in a field that's really tough. And the only way to really storm is to do it together. And don't deal with it on your own. And don't let the devil make you feel bad for interrupting it. My phone's open 24-7.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Even if it's in the middle of the night, even if I have to cancel a show and come meet you guys, what we're doing is greater than our own selves. And I think we should have our eyes on Christ, but also have our shoulders up against each other. And I really love you guys, and thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you, George.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Or if he ruins his life, at what point does he stop ruining his earthly life and it actually involves his heavenly life? You get what I'm saying? Like, okay, if I smoke weed, right? Yeah, I'm not gonna lose my salvation over it, but I might lose my mind. And God says, okay, I can't anoint you because you are rather walking away from me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm gonna give it to Bryce because Bryce has a hunger and heart for me. So like the parable, I'm gonna take what I gave to you and I'm gonna give it to him. That's how I see it. But that's not even what I feared. I just feared of one day him being like, be away from me, dude. Like I've told you a hundred times, don't put, put it down. You can't put it down.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The reason why I harp on this is because marijuana was like, okay, I finally put that down. But then I look... And I have like a long list of things I need to work on. And any man who says that they don't truly are lying or they're blessed with not even knowing. So it's like when they meet God, they'll be like, oh, I didn't know, but I knew.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And the more I practice in reading God, that's what I'm trying to get at. I think people are scared to keep coming closer to God is because it's like more revealing who you are and how much work you have to do. But then also it says that it's not your works. So it's just kind of like this limbo of like, what do I do and what is the actual purpose Cutting point of salvation. Hmm.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Did you guys have like a telepathic thing? That was weird.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You guys both cut each other off in your minds.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, there's a series that's coming out on Amazon Prime that's called The House of David. And man, am I excited about this. House of David is a one-of-a-kind series produced by Wander Project and Amazon Studios. I'm very excited because they say that it's very true to the gospel. And us as believers, we should go and support projects that are based off of our faith.

This is the first time that a major studio has given creative control to faith believers like us. So they promised me that there's no fluff and this is actually deep, deep, biblically rooted. The series is releasing on February 27th on Prime Video and it's going to be released in 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm super excited to watch the first three episodes that they're releasing on Amazon Prime.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. He only gets annoyed when we call him the most anointed. Are we ready to rock? Cool, cool. Guys, welcome back to the George Janko Show. This is episode 100, and I am humbled to be around you guys. Each one episode of you guys was such a special moment in my life. I learned that I got to be obedient with my mouth.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's talk about it. How does a man do it? We already know that Jesus is the way, and he can do it. I have an answer, but I would love to want to, like, I want to, like, get you guys to specific. Because there's somebody right now watching this, and they're probably getting really angry. Because it looks like we kind of conquered it, and we don't. Every single one of us struggles with sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But there is that one bigger sin in your life where if you remove that mountain, a lot of things could start blossoming. But how do we do it? Okay, Jesus is the answer. Putting it away is the answer. But somebody's going to probably be on their phone being like, dude, get out of here. I don't even, like, I wasn't even thinking about Jesus trying to get rid of this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
How is Jesus going to come down like an angel? What is he going to do? How can I get rid of this sin? I'm addicted. My father was addicted. His father was addicted. This generational curse has been on our family. I'm I'm depressed. A lot of people hold on to their hurt because they don't want to get rid of it because sometimes it's like they earned it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's like, no, do you have any idea how much I've suffered in this? And they don't want to let go. How does a man let go of the sin? What's the first action of it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I learned how I can combat with my mom in a way that me and her could be healthy. We went from arguing to now sitting down, breaking bread, reading God's words together, even though we have different points of views. Shout out. You guys made me cry so many times. Honestly, you guys were the foundation of how I should even be in this field. So thank you guys for that. Married us. Yeah.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Break that down because I just feel like, dude, there's so many people that walk away from God because the devil beat him. And the reason why I just want to, before you even bring this up, I think the reason why the gospel always brings up planting a seed is because the devil also plants as well. And people think that that planting is like, oh, there's nothing here. It's just dirt.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's no big deal. But it catches up. And when that grows, those fruits and those thorns, it ties up God's blessing and chokes them. And so like... That gets to a point where people are like, I got to bounce. I'm not going to make it to heaven. And they listen to the condemnation. And then they walk away. So I'm trying to figure out how they could beat it. But also, I want them to have great hope.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You inspired me. You're so young. And yesterday, even when I was watching you speak, you literally were just blowing me away, truly teaching me. You could be an infant or you could be an elder. And if you're with God, you're wiser. So, like, truly, dude, I love watching you talk. Ruslan, you were the one that always pushed me to get married and become a man of God and somebody that's not.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because man, if you don't have hope, it's over for you. There's no way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But here's the question that scares people. The sin that kills you, does it kill just your body here on earth, or does it kill you in the next life?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Somebody was talking to me in the circle yesterday, and they were like, you know, my dad was a good man, but he lost his life to addiction and stuff. But he loved God. And to me, it's just like... Okay, say I'll use myself as an example. Say there's two versions of me. One gives up marijuana and one doesn't give up marijuana. But my heart will always love God. I will never not love God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And to be honest, there's a lot of people that smoke and they read their Bible and they're with God. They're just a slave to this. Now, I just keep using this as an example because I've walked through it. What happened if God forbid I died? And I was still sinning, even though I knew it was sinning.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When I meet my father, is he going to say, no, you didn't walk away from it when you walked away from it? Or is it just the punishment that I have on earth that I robbed myself from this earth of beautiful things that he could have made? When he says that my will would be done in heaven and on earth. Am I just robbing myself right here?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm so happy I get to say this. Let me list you guys off where we're going. Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee again, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York City.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But because I love him and it's not my works and it is because what Jesus did, do I still enter the kingdom or did I lose myself and did my sin kill me and separate me from my father?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But guys, you guys have truly inspired me in ways that I can't thank you guys enough. And so you guys all taking time out of your schedules, you guys are all all over the place. And so for you guys to be here, it means the world to me. I appreciate it with all of my heart.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's dive even deeper, though, because when I look at you guys, and I hope nobody here takes any offense to this, But I'll measure you guys how I measure myself. We're all hypocrites. All of us. There's so many times people in the streets are like, dude, you have no idea what you did.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm like, dude, if you knew what I, in my mind, think, do, act, you'd be like, oh, dude, you might be worse than me. I know for a fact, I tell people, dude, be calm, be peaceful. Until I'm on the 101, somebody cuts me off. And then all of a sudden, it's like I forget who Jesus is completely. Or if I'm dealing with any type of sin, there is no version of me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Thanks, thanks. So before we get started, I kind of want to set the tone. This is not like me speaking and asking a question at a time. I want to throw out topics, and all of us discuss it. Iron sharpens iron. So if at any point you want to cut somebody off, do it. Feel free. Nobody should be offended, and nobody should be quiet.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I have never gone one day without sinning. I have never gone one day without sinning. Do I try not to sin? Yes. So is it just trying? The thought that I have in my head, it's like if I had two kids and one of them... actively disobeyed me and didn't care about it versus the one that was actually heartbroken about it and tried to. So is it just trying to that it gets you into heaven?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is the actual thing that gets you to heaven, no sugarcoating it? Because some Catholics might believe that, oh, you have to confess your sins. Some people might say you gotta be sinless, which is crazy. I don't even know how anybody thinks that. but what is the actual, this is what you need to talk to that man before you get into heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is that for, for just baby Christians or maybe people that are Christians their whole life, but they struggle with this. I was walking with somebody that I love that's actively in the church three times a week, cooks for the church, does all these things. She's an old woman and God put her in my heart, goes, go out, go take a walk with her.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I asked her, and she's getting a little sick now. She's older. And I said, do you know if you're going to heaven? And man, it looked like I blew a shotgun through her chest. And she just looks down so defeated. And she goes, I don't know. And to me, it's like, dude, the devil is robbing her joy because she should have just been celebrating this whole time that she is about to go to heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And now when she's getting older every single day, she's after all of the works that she's even done, which I'm not saying it's about your works, but man, imagine somebody doing something so good for you every day and feel so bad every day. You're just like, dude, stop doing the work. It's not even worth it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What do we do for these people to give them hope that they're going to go into the kingdom of God?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't want anybody to be feeling like, oh, you know, there's a lot of people here. I want everybody to kind of join in. I wanted to open up with a funny story just to get it going. Do you guys know where Bryce stayed last night at a hotel?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He stayed at where I believe hookers go and sleep at night or prostitutes.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want you to go deeper with this, with the water at the wedding. And then also I want you to tie it in with Adam naming the animals. Because when you broke that down for me, it really, it completed a very big piece of the puzzle for me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I also find it very powerful. All of this blends in with who you are. In the beginning was the word and Jesus said, it's going to be, right? And then we're made in his image. So how we speak is how we're about to accept. I noticed that the people that are sad, depressed, and anxious, bro, I'm so tired today. I'm anxious today. I got this today.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then you see the go-getters, bro, I got up today, six o'clock, six o'clock, 10 pushups. I was like, I went 10 miles. And I was like, whoa, they're speaking and then they're doing. They're speaking and they're doing. So I literally one day to get myself out of depression, I literally looked at myself in the mirror and I just kept telling myself all these things I should be grateful for.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And dude, it went right back to the old version of me where I was always so bubbly and happy and excited. And it's because I spoke it first. And like, again, it's a seed. A lot of people want that instant gratification because we have a time feed that we just keep refreshing and it's just at our fingertips. But no, wake up every day. Stay consistent to being disciplined with your mouth.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But also, most importantly, how you're speaking to the people around you. If you have your wife or you have your husband, if your husband's lazy, don't call him lazy because then now he's just like he put the crown of laziness on his head and you'll watch. He'll make jokes about it. He goes, I'm lazy, blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, no.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You should congratulate him when he does something good and reward him with that joy. He wants to see his wife be excited about him when he's doing things and it'll give him excitement. Have you ever seen a bad father just talk down to his kid all day? That kid's going to grow up with full anxiousness and full depression because his father poured that into him.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But you see, my father, I used to lose all the time. My dad goes, you lost? Not in my eyes. He goes, you're a winner. And I go, no, I lost. He goes, no, not in my eyes. And it just changed my thought. And I was like, no, I'm a winner. I'm a winner. And I had this joke where I used to be like, I ain't going to spare the rod with my daughter.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's because I was like, I'm looking at all these girls nowadays. I'm like, you got me scared. I'm like, dude, I don't want a daughter, bro. Like, it's getting me really worried. And I was like, dude, I'm going to know where she's at. Her location's going to be on, da-da-da-da-da. And Belle, I'm seeing her.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
nuts like i hope we don't have a daughter yeah yeah yeah only men uh but then i realized one day i was sitting there with the gospel and when i put down the j and it was just the holy spirit that said put it down and it was because he loved me that i put it down and i was and it really just it hit me and so i put it down and i and i sat there with bell and i go bell like if i do my job i'll love her enough for her to feel comfortable to talk to me about everything
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And to want, I wouldn't need her location. She'd share me her location. If I love her like a good man, then she wouldn't want a man to love her in any other different way. And so the power of how you speak to your children, to your wife, to everybody. And by the way, and this is, it's so funny and this is, it seems like I'm joking, but when you're a baby Christian, you are so quarrelsome.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
you just want to fight everybody. Like you think that you feel God's glory and you're wielding it on everyone. And that's how truly I felt. Like I would get in arguments with people that I loved and it pushed them away from God. And it's just such a roller coaster.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Can I say something? Because like, it's so funny. I didn't start planting those seeds because like every meal she gives me that she cooks, which by the way, like I'm not saying this to be chauvinistic, like women, there is nothing you could do. that is gonna be greater than taking care of a home.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Nothing, I don't care what job, you could be a rocket scientist, but every time I come home and this woman makes this place feel like a home, I would rather live underneath a rock if Belle's dusting the dirt from it and presenting me a rock plate. It is a home when she makes it a home. I tell her when she's not here, it's just walls that I'm surrounded by.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There is nothing that is greater than that. Every meal, three times a day, I will thank her for it every time. But the reason why I started this is because I heard jokes and jokes are always like a little jab, but it has some meaning to it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Everybody would always say, George, you say the things that everybody's thinking, but nobody says. And I was like, oh, that's a compliment. And then it went deeper to be like, you're kind of ruthless when you talk to us. And I was like, oh, that's not great. And I just, you just laughed right out because I'll give direction because I grew up in this industry with Logan and Logan in a sugar coat.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't even think he knew what sugar was. He would just drill right into my heart, rip my heart out, put it on the table. But that man made me a beast at working. And he did not play around. He didn't cut around. He was a surgeon. He ripped in and ripped out. And so I was like, if I put more love into this, that way when I do these things, they know it's coming from a loving place.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But the aspect that I learned was when I gave them the love, I didn't need to go here. I didn't need to do the correction. I didn't need to come and be ruthless and say, hey, this isn't that. When I encouraged them all the time, they did the things that I was begging them to do before and harping on them before and correcting on them before.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They did it because they felt valuable and they felt loved. And I was like, whoa. Speaking love is way easier than correction, correction, correction, correction. And a lot of people at church use that fear method. And I wanna circle, the fear of God isn't the fear of like, he's gonna come down and beat the brakes off of you. The fear of God is he loves you so much, it would be a darn shame
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
for you to represent him the wrong way. And that way, when somebody else looks at you and you're reflecting Jesus, hypocritically, it affects him. And you should be very fearful of that, that you're representing Christ the wrong way. This video is sponsored by Rise Up Kings. Rise Up Kings is a movement.

I would love to dive just deeper, if you guys don't mind, because we're just, we're hammering away. This is beautiful. Baptism. Does a man need to be baptized to go into the kingdom of God?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yo, I am so unbelievably overwhelmed and joyful that I get to come and see you guys in your home states, give you guys hugs, get to hang out with you, tell some jokes, have some great conversations, have amazing special guests for you guys. It is going to be a night I know for a fact I'm not going to forget, and I pray that you guys come. Bring your family and friends.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's dive a little bit deeper. A lot of denominations have different point of views for baptism. I was baptized as a baby. And before I used to be like, my way is the right way. But I'm starting to understand that I don't know everything. And so it's better for me to keep my mouth shut and just keep learning.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But my perspective of it is the way that baptism is viewed in my eyes, which could be wrong because my heart is wicked, is it's a proposal. And that's why he uses the bride and the groom thing so many times. But if it's a proposal, shouldn't it be my mouth that's proposing to God? Shouldn't it be me confessing that I've lived this life without you and I do want to live this life with you?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Before I got married, I was blessed enough to get baptized with my best friend by Cliff. And I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It's just hard because it breaks my mom's heart and my dad's heart because... They have a viewpoint of Christ. And this is also, I'm going to take a little, no, but it's,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to finish this off and then continuing it with households and the division of viewpoints and how not to be quarrelsome, but to be together. Because if you are representing Jesus, you are a peacemaker, an active peacemaker. And that's better than a peacekeeper. A lot of people think that you just got to be a peacekeeper. I'll keep the peace. It's not how it is. It's a peacemaker.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You have to go and make the peace. So before we get into that, Baptism, should it be done by a man who could flicker with his own tongue to the almighty God? I confess you as my God. I love you with all of my heart. I want you to be my God. I choose you. Or should the household bring their children
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
because they want to wipe away the sins of Adam, and they don't want their baby to pass away and be living in sin, which is a valid fear, but I just want to make sure that we fear the right things and not listen to the wrong fears.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So is that why when Paul said, have you guys been baptized by the Holy Spirit? And they were like, no, we've just been doing the water. But what is... What is the fundamental gospel viewpoint of the water baptism? Because I think that's the separation. I think, to be honest, you're absolutely right. Because when I felt the Holy Spirit, it wasn't when I was getting dunked in water.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's when I really just confessed and I said, I'm a sinner. I need a savior. And I truly felt the Holy Spirit enter my body. It was an...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
insane feeling um it wasn't there there was no water involved there was no witnesses involved but i'm talking about the baptism of water the same way that john the baptist was getting everything ready for christ um i'm saying what is that so that way a kid at home that maybe is in a different household with a different view uh could make steps for himself to present himself to god appropriately through the scripture i would say just again it goes back to the spiritual aspect of it right
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But he does that a lot. Like, we were at an event for Turning Point, and this guy with a cast on was just riding on an airplane with him, and he, like, came. And, by the way, I've never seen somebody as happy as this man. Like, you just go and talk to random people and bring them with you, and I find that to be, like, really honorable, bro. Like...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
A lot of households do that. I remember when I was on vacation, I would literally, my parents would fight because on Wednesdays and Fridays, my mother gives those days for the Lord. And I don't nitpick.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I've learned to, you know, if God put it in her heart, I even remember a verse that says that if they do a certain tradition, don't look at it because you don't know what God's doing with their heart. But regardless, but I see my mom and dad argue all the time. My dad's like, we're on vacation. I'm needed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The whole time they'll be arguing and I'm sitting here and I have to go with my mom. It's like two against one. It's God and mom. And then it's just my pagan dad over there. And so that causes a lot of division. Now, the gospel is something that brings people together. Unfortunately, it does cause division. I have separated a lot of times because of my ego. And I want to say that again. My ego.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Not God's ego. God didn't come down with an ego. I start strutting around with this holiness that I got going on to me. Look at me, my podcast, and the conversations. I got it going on right. I don't think this way, but I talk this way. And sometimes I have to catch myself and be like, dude, calm down. I'm just kidding. You got to relax.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There are households right now that are visiting the same situation that I had where I have grown in the scriptures and I'm looking at what we're doing in real life and I'm like, yo, this is going against the scriptures and I can't be doing this. And so this broke my heart and I started sobbing in my mom's arms and I told her this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I might sound a lot like too dramatic, but somebody who's going through this will understand what I'm saying. I said, I understand what it felt like when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. And it's like God chose, are you going to choose your family or are you going to choose me? And it's the separation.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Now, it's not me killing my mom, but it's killing a beautiful relationship between me and my mom. Me and my mom were always on the same page. And this grew into such a beautiful garden. So I was so confused. Why would my God ask me to separate the teachings that my mother gave to me? Even when the gospel says, do not forget your mother's teachings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then I'm like, well, I'm starting to realize that this might not be God's teachings. And so it caused this division and quarrelsome. I've got an amazing blessing from you to figure out how to go about this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I talk to strangers all the time and they give me weird looks, but you invite them with you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I would love for you guys to share though, what should a kid do that if he's in a house that maybe they're Buddhist, maybe they're Muslim, maybe they're Jewish, maybe they're Orthodox Catholic, but they want to stick to the scripture and their parents are looking at them as if they've walked away from themselves and God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
May I ask you a question? I don't mean to interrupt you, but I just want to understand that. Did you not understand Jesus because they were more concerned about traditions rather than teaching the gospel? No.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But by the way, it's beautiful. And the, all the reverence that they bring, it is beautiful. It's not mockery. It's not, but I can't get my head around the fact that they'd rather, they're like, we're not, we're not going to let go of our people's traditions, but I'm like, but your people are no longer understanding what's going on. So at this point, have you guys forgot to deny yourselves?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like denying yourself is denying where you come from, your tongue that you speak. Is it more important to speak the language that you guys are speaking or is it to speak what Jesus is trying to teach you? Sorry, I got passionate about that. I'm going to get so many bad texts.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen, man. By the way, that is like, that has to bring your heart so much joy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's amazing. I was outside and I just got so emotional with Johnny and I just started crying. I go, dude, I'm tired of like... Don't get me wrong. I want to make this very clear. My mom and dad are like ridiculously proud of me. Like even when they shouldn't be proud of me, they've always, they like, don't cry, George. Don't do this. But they were my two greatest gifts.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it just crushed me that I, all these other parents would congratulate my faith and my walk. But when I look over there, they were like, we're scared of where you're going. And like, and so I went up to him and I started sobbing and I go, It's unfair. I'd rather no other parents ever congratulate me, but my two parents that brought me into this earth be proud. And he smiled at me and laughed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Brought up some fun street gang slangs related to me. And he says, you don't get it. Your mom needs to stop hearing your lips. And see your actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I go, okay. And I started laughing because I was like, it was always my lips that caused the problem. I would be on a podcast or I'd be on a stage and I'd always give God my mouth and have him speak through me. But then when I'm with my mom, I was so quarrelsome. We get in so many arguments. And one day I just changed. I said, you know, mom, you have your perspective and I have my perspective.

I go, but why don't we hear Jesus' perspective? So why don't we bring the word of God and we'll sit here? I go, you could bring your priest. I'll bring people that I look up to. I'm sorry for calling you so much.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I will literally sit here and we could discuss it, but let's do this like both a solid and let's more weigh our thoughts on what Jesus thinks because I could be wrong and you could be wrong. And one day I just never forgot it. It was just like, and it was so quick too. And you would think it would take a long time. It was like a few weeks.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And my father, who wants nothing to do with spirituality, looked at me and he goes, because you're different. He goes, you changed my eyes. You're not the same. And he started wanting to like talk about God. And then he pulled out this movie and he's like, I want to watch this movie with you. And it was Joseph the King. And I'm like, wow, like all I had to do is humble myself.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just had to humble myself. I keep thinking that the war is in my hands. And sometimes you look at your loved one and this is where I lost my way. I acted on my fear. I stopped fearing the Lord. I feared I'm losing my mom's salvation, making it seem like I even had anything to do with it. I got in the way of the Holy Spirit and then got mad at the Holy Spirit for what's going on here.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Why would you let this happen? So that was a beautiful answer. I thank both of you gentlemen for saying it. But yeah, like sometimes preaching needs no words at all. And a good preacher could do it all, all of the biblical forms of preaching just by his actions. And it's even worse sometimes to give the words and not follow it with your actions. And that's what I was doing in my house.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I was telling people, this is what the gospel is, but the character that I was showing them was of not of God. It was of Satan. I gave them the scripture, but then I acted like Satan. Like I never swore on my mom because I'm Middle Eastern. The most I could get is loud. If I swore, I'm dead. I'd go straight to meeting the creator.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I would get loud, and it was a version of me that I was, first of all, it wasn't me. So imagine my mom. She's like, that's not you. You've never been like that with me. And we're talking about the gospel. And so I just want to get to a place where I could help the audience. The war is not in your hands. It's not.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The best thing you could do is just be obedient, act like Christ, and this is what I've learned when you were preaching is to love them. even when they're like walking in a way that you're like, dude, and we get so dramatic, right? I would be like, Oh my God, my mom's walking towards hell while holding a J venting to my friend smoking weed. And I was like, what kind of hypocrite am I, bro?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We all got our issues. We all got our ways. Um,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Isn't the gospel say that the wise ones are usually quiet?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Keep going, brother. Keep going. I think we all kind of deal with this situation where like, this is what I want to say. And I wanted to ask you guys about this because I've been dealing with this lately. I feel like our audience loves us when we say things that they agree with and are ready to rip us down when they don't agree with us.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to tie that to scripture. Lazarus, when he brought him out, but before he was weeping. And the weeping wasn't because he didn't know he could bring him back. It was the lack of faith. And so he had to make them move the boulder. And that's the action, moving the boulder.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It is so important to pray, but a lot of people pray and still imagine death and still imagine their parents in that situation. They imagine their children in that situation. And it's like whatever you're picturing here, you're planning for.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
so like it changed the inside of the way you believe and if and by the way pray for that you could pray you could ask the holy spirit hey help me pray to you i don't think i'm praying correctly that changed i started speaking differently when i asked god to help me start speaking i changed the way that i spoke and by the way he'll bring you people to check you be like hey why are you swearing the same time that i was asking god to help me speak through him i had two women on my podcast questioning me on how i was speaking don't run away from people like teaching you a lesson i was
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because you're asking for it, but you're running away from it. And a lot of people ask, and when God wants to give it to you, you're egotistical. Like, I don't like the way you're giving it to me. I want you to give it to me the way that I've been picturing it right here. And that is not the way. But let's circle back to prayer. There's very variations of prayer.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And there's one version of prayer that I see a lot of my loved ones do, and they pray to saints. And to me, it's like, and I'm hanging myself up to dry. I used to do this. I used to fast for saints. I used to pray to saints. And then, I'm not going to lie. No, I didn't. Like, they wanted me to.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Even as a little kid, I just never did it. I didn't feel comfortable. I just wanted to talk to Jesus. I don't understand why you had to talk to the middleman. Like, I didn't like that. And even at a younger age. But I just wanted to be relatable for them. But there's people that I love that do that. But I just felt like I was lying there. And I don't want to lie.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But praying to saints, I have a lot of people that I love that they do that, so I don't want to look like I'm harping on this. But Jesus says there is nobody that goes to the Father but besides me. If you want to talk to him, talk to me. And then there's another Bible verse that says do not talk to the dead, right? And then there's some people that are like, well, are they dead?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because the thief on the cross said that today you'll be with me in paradise, so there might be some people that are alive. That kind of threw me for a little spin. I'm not going to lie. But... I just want to know that when I'm praying, I find it more valuable to get in my prayer closet alone and speak to my king.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then also go to people that correct me and teach me and say, hey, Cliff, I've done this a lot. Cliff, could you pray for me? And every time, by the way, if you ever got off the phone with him, he says a prayer for you. So I'm going to put his number in the description. But I have brothers and sisters pray for me because they're here and a lot of priests would come up to me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They're like, do you have your mother pray for you? Why would you not have... Peter pray for you or Mary pray for you. And my example was, I'm like, well, they're alive right now. And we're here as a community and as a church, we're united. So I think that's the reason one.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I'm like, two, my example would be if the disciples were there, why wouldn't they tell them to pray to Isaac or David or Abraham? Why would they, they weren't told to do that. So I don't want, that's all my opinion, right? But that's meaningless. My heart could be wrong. What does the gospel say about praying to saints and who should you pray towards?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And one of the things that they don't agree with us is like some of the crowds that we mingle in. And I grew up in the entertainment field, so I have a lot of entertainment friends. And like, I know their hearts. I know where their heart would be if they knew God. How do you guys go about like... Telling people and motivating them.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And by the way, these men have great hearts. These women have great hearts. They're the ones that are out there feeding the homeless, being with the widows. I am not putting my finger in their face and saying, you guys are wrong. Which, by the way, I did. And that's why I was quarrelsome. And that's why my parents and loved ones are like, dude, this guy ain't it. It was my actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's not that their hearts are like, we need Mary, we need this. But they're truly are like, they're looking at it as like... Kind of like how we are. If I want to meet you, but you know him, I'm like, hey, Andrew, could you talk to him for me? I really, really want to speak to him. They're not doing it in a satanic way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I have to admit, a lot of times they give a lot of praise and glory to these saints.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so I can't hide that aspect of it. And also I see them kiss the cross. I see them kiss Mary. I see them kiss the ring. I won't do that. I will not do that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But what happens when they fast and they cut lambs for Peter?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They cut lambs. People fast. A lot of churches, they will do lambs. They'll do sacrificial things today? Yeah.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. He's an asshole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Certified. No, but I'm saying they do the sacrifices. And also, guys, when they're sacrificing, they're also fasting. And to me, that's a sacrifice. You've seen a sacrifice in person? No, they just pass the lamb out.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't know. Maybe they do. I'm not sure. All I know is, okay, let's take the lamb out. That was aggressive. But they do have lambs. But, okay, take the lamb out.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Take the lamb out, but take the lamb out. The fasting, like my mom, she gives up Wednesdays and Fridays, right? In her eyes, she goes, I dedicated the Lord. And by the way, she's super healthy. There's a lot of benefits to this. But when, by the way, those two days are for God. She's not doing it for anybody. But family members of mine stopped doing it for saints.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They're like, the reason that we're called the light of the world and the salt of the world is because you're supposed to be in environments where there is not any love of God. There's lack of God. And so you're supposed to go there and shine his light in that room. Are you guys ever dealing with this situation or how do you how do you go about moving forward with it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When they give up days for Mary or Peter, that's a sacrifice. To me, I think you should only do a sacrifice to God. Nowhere in the Old Testament did they even do a sacrifice unless it was for God. So if Peter or Mary was here, I truly think by reading the gospel that they would say, hey, put your attentions to him, not me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, and by the way, they did. They ripped me to shreds with the hell conversation that I had. And I just want you guys to know, when I was in high school or middle school or elementary school, I didn't care what these little kids said about me. And then it prepared me to be here. You can make all of the videos you want because I fear God. And I'm only telling you guys this, don't follow me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100

Anybody could speak up at any time. I'll ask Johnny. I feel like he has an answer for this one.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, doesn't Paul tell women to cover their heads? So they should be doing that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, the church my mom goes to, they cover their head still. The women's cover their head in church. And to be honest, it's honorable because it's taking men's attention away from them and putting it towards God. So I understand this. And Paul does also talk about doing this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So if that's in the New Testament, would that be, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but would they need to be covering their heads?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love you guys, and I will see you guys on the road. Enjoy the number 100th episode with my good friends, the Christian Avengers.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Sometimes I would just be like, hey, guys, I don't know. I'm so sorry. Let's wait. And some kid goes, no disrespect, George. You didn't answer my question. So Cliff, and then Cliff goes, hey, none of that. He goes, focus it here.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Oh, I feel so worthy. You know, I find it so funny that you two got yelled at for your earrings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think that's how God blesses you, gives you wisdom to do it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Also, just to go back to Belle, Belle, there's a reason why you're my wife. When I speak to you, you are so profound at times, and you're so sharp, and you're so gentle. You're everything that I needed. When people congratulate me for what I'm going through, they're congratulating us, because I would not be what I'd be able to do without you at all. It would be impossible.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Where are we at with the praying with the saints thing, dude? Because we never really wrapped up on that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Okay, let's dive a little deeper with that, which, by the way, I immensely agree with you. And the fact that you pulled up a scripture and said that, bravo. That was beautifully said. Let's dive even deeper. But what about the ones that said, but Peter is our rock?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
and that there's passed on rocks, and they're allowed to tie different teachings and make it so that we could go in a different way or speak a different way or fast in a different way because he was given the keys to the kingdom. What about the ones who believe that it's not just the Bible, that there's more above the Bible, and that man would be sitting here preaching through the church?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love you so much. You're so good at this. It's so cute watching such an innocent, cute face just get into it, and then he gets back and is like, you're adorable. But okay, let's dive in deeper. What about the men and women that say, okay, well, that was our pope.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I'll tell you why. We laugh about it, but I have so many brothers and sisters that are completely lost because of it. And they rather fear the man that's on the pulpit rather than fear the word of God. And so I have a lot of brothers and sisters that I deeply weep and ask God to wake them up because I will bring them Bible verses.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They'll read the Bible verses and reject it because the man on the pulpit is teaching them a certain thing. And so we can laugh about it, but their salvation is on the line.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. I was answering questions before I got ditched by Cliff yesterday at the college campus, which, by the way, is my first time ever doing this thing. And I'm sitting here. I'm like, oh, I'm going to learn from my mentor. This is amazing. And he just pats me on the back. He's like, you got this. And he just starts a new crowd. And I was like, oh, Holy Spirit, I need you now more than ever.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't look at things that are dirt and put it to the holiness of God. I can never do that. Differently with the Bible, I get uncomfortable when the Bible's on the ground just because it's the word of God, and God was the word and became flesh. So I'm like, all right, that's a little bit much. Don't want to do that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But when they take the Eucharist, or when they take this, and they truly believe that it is actually his body and his blood, to me, that's... It's a big no-no.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You don't believe that that bread is his body?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So they believe that it is actually his body.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yes. To me, it's like, isn't that... Isn't that blasphemy? Isn't that like idolatry at a whole different level when you're worshiping something? And I'm not trying to be disrespectful. Again, I'm just learning. And I'm going to clarify this because I don't want people to get upset with me or get angry with me. If I'm wrong, instead of getting angry with me, pray for me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because if I'm wrong, I would love to learn and then come back. You know I would sit on this podcast and be like, guys, I was an idiot. I was super wrong. This is the reason why. But I need somebody to come with biblical terms and show me in the gospel because as of right now, We're just taking dirt and worshiping it as if it's our presence of God. And I just, I can't wrap my head around that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I can't wrap my head that like if the piece of bread falls to the ground, legitimately hell breaks loose in that church and they bow and pick it up with their mouth and they treat it like it is actually my God that's in that bread. I can't get behind that. Now, if any man has a scripture and says, no, this is exactly why I will bow my head And I will bite my tongue.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm never trying to go against God. But I think little movements like this could set a trajectory to move a man away from God. That's why I fight for it so hard. It's because I truly have brothers and sisters that sat with me in the pew. But they no longer see God as God anymore because they weren't nourished the way they should have been nourished.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They were taught to fear the wrong things and to practice the wrong things. So when they were biblically sound, they were lost. But again, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'd rather now talk about the hard things that nobody wants to talk about before we all die and we're in front of the kings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then I'm going to be sitting in God's presence and God goes, I put it in your heart to talk about it and you ran away from it. I'd rather die today. I'd rather die today. I respect that. Sorry, I got passionate. It's just that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But he taught me this beautiful move. If there's a question that I do not know, I think sometimes because we love Jesus so much that we were like, let's force a question. But I watch how powerful it is when he goes, I do not know. And it also validates all of the other questions that he answered because he's like, wow, okay, well, if he didn't know, then he wouldn't have answered.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You're going to get clipped. All right, let's bring it back in a respectful way because that was super respectful. And I don't want to come off disrespectful. But let me give you my point of view that I've been learning from my mentor, Robert. He told me that the last supper was just a foreshadow of Passover. That before when they did the lamb, he is now the new lamb.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So from this day forward, instead of remembering these days and celebrating it, you shall break bread and drink and remember this lamb that has been sacrificed. Then I go to the chapter in Acts where they bring up church for the first time. Nobody went around the bread and the wine as if it was the body and the blood of Christ, but it was more of a celebration for what our God just did.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I learned a lot from you as well yesterday. It was amazing. But there was one question and I answered it. And I don't know if I answered it appropriately. So I want to kind of hang myself up to dry. And also try to correct myself and make sure that I am able to answer this. The girl says that in the Bible, it says that we're already perfected and it's done.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So how do I like get this in a biblical sense? And then Cliff, I wanted to ask you this. Where's the line? Where do we stick to the Bible but also listen? Because it is good to listen to somebody. But is there stuff that isn't written in the Bible that we should be listening to popes or bishops or people that have passed down? because the pass down of teachings, it was by word of mouth.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I can't knock them for that. Where's the line? And what point could a man lose his salvation if he goes in the route that he's going?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is the difference of like, okay, can a man have more teachings than the gospel? So should there be things that are not in the gospel? Or is the gospel perfect from cover to cover? This is my way to Christ. This gospel will teach me and help me with my salvation. Or is it a man and the Bible?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like how Jesus was. Because that's what they believe. She had no sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And she goes, so then why do I need to ask for forgiveness every time I sin if it's perfected moving forward? All of my sins. Doesn't that mean that I'm not acknowledging that it's already perfected? And I was like, that is such a beautiful phrase. perspective. And I told her, I was like, I'm not really sure.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Well said. Don't be quarrelsome. I think it's better to just, I'm learning this, it's better for me to just preach by my actions and just keep moving forward.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
and then if we disagree i just i express what i know and i just leave it at that good i'm not gonna drag them the same way that my god didn't drag me i think i came to the conclusions and thoughts that i had because he loved me yeah and because he loved me he gave me freedom of like okay let me search for you like hidden treasure and i will try to find it um
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just know that if I do sin, even though I did sin, I go, I just find it to be kind for me to ask for forgiveness. I know that my father is always going to cover the bill when I'm at the table, but it's still kind for me to say thank you for it. When somebody does something or if I do something wrong, regardless if it's forgiven, I think it's appropriate for me to ask for forgiveness.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. Amen. Humbling is like the biggest turning point in a thing. My father once said to me, before he said this to me, I was analyzing how my friends were treating their fathers and how their fathers were treating their kids. This is a huge thing. This is what causes the country to be different. It's just this small thing in a home. A lot of people think it's the country. This is the government.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's the schooling system. It's the home. You fix the home, you fix the country. And my father once looked at me and I realized the dynamic between son and father, right? It's pride. I want to do so well for my dad that one day, this is crazy. The man wants to be like either equal with the dad or greater than the dad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then the dad doesn't want to feel like useless anymore because he's taught his son. And so his ego is like, no, no, no, I'm still active. I'm still this. And one day we were at the bar and And my dad looks at me, he goes, man, look at you at the age you're at. You're already greater than me. And I said, it's impossible.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm from your seed, which means if I grow greater, that means you've grown even greater. I come from your foundation. I am the branch that's coming off of you. So you can never look at me as if I'm greater. If I get greater, then put your head up high proud. You are greater. I cannot be a greater. Even in the gospel, it says no man is greater than his master. And I go, I have one master in heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like he's given me one master on earth. I can never be greater than you. And this dynamic was hard for a lot of kids, but I realized that, yo, like children, like, listen, it's not your dad's job to humble himself in front of you. It's your job to humble yourself in front of your father. His job is not to humble himself in front of you. He's greater than you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He needs to be shown that you have so much love that no matter how successful you are, no matter how proud you are, that when you stand before my father or my father I stand before, I bow my head. Not because I'm worshiping him, it's because I honor him, I respect him, but not as much as I choose to honor and respect my father in heaven. There's order to this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I've looked at my parents and I've said, I love you guys, but I'll never love you more than my God. It's impossible for me to love the gift greater than the gift giver. Since we're already in just deep, hard conversations, let's go deeper. Sorry about this, by the way. Guys, you guys are going to get clipped hard. But you know what? We're in this together. I got smoked out for hell. Like my...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
depiction of hell. Johnny's like, don't bring this up, bro. Don't be quarrelsome. But these are conversations. The reason I bring them up is because you know, this more than anybody, guys, so many people walked away from church and from God because of this aspect. So I just wanted to ask you guys his opinion. What is your perception of hell when it comes to the gospel? Um, should I go first?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then I said, also, you could also just change your verbiage and saying, God, please forgive me. You could just change it to, hey, Lord, thank you for forgiving me. Amen. So that's how I answered it. How do you guys feel that I answered that? Is that something that's appropriate? How do you feel? I was wishing you were next to me for that part, but what do you think?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Cause it's a little uncomfortable. Would you guys want me to go first? Does somebody want to jump up and talk about it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think that, uh, Hell is eternal. The place of hell is eternal. But I read scriptures like, do not be afraid of the man who could destroy the body, but could destroy the body and the soul in hell. And when I read stuff like this, like no root, no branch, no nothing will be in its destruction. So when I see this, I think destruction. If you choose to live away from God, you do not have life.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To me, it's like also Jesus says, eternal life is with me. So how can I have eternal life away from him?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
separated these are the thoughts that i have in my head i'm just a baby christian i'm just learning and then another thing is let's dive even deeper from like an aspect that's not religious from a man who's like you serve a god that says that you have free will but it's basically like the same free will that they the government gave us about covid like hey you don't have to take the vaccine but if you don't you can't have your job you can't go to school you can't
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, buddy, is that a choice? He's like, you're strong arming me. And to me, it's like, I walked around the neighborhood one day and I was like, God, I don't know if I love you because I'm deeply scared of you or because I actually love you. And that sucks. I wouldn't want her marrying me because of that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to clarify that if God even came down right now and said, no, no, no, actually hell is eternal and I'd torture them forever. I'd be like, aye, aye, captain. And I'll knock on everybody's door and let them know about it. I would love if somebody could bring up scripture to correct me. I am not saying that I have the answers, nor do I think that it's right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's finished. It's done. And if you keep reading, that's the Bible verse in 28 that says, do not be afraid of the man who could destroy the body, but could destroy the body and the soul in hell. So if the body is not there and the soul is not there, then what is left over to be tortured?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But question, don't you think that's a little like... Let's just peel back the curtain. Let's be raw. I don't think God gets mad when we test his words because his words are forever. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It's good to test them because then I'll know if I could break it, then it ain't from God. It's from man. And if I can't, then it's from God. And then I'll worship that word.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To me, it's like, how could you say that I've given you free will when you didn't give me free will? That's not free will. I have to choose you. I have to, or I'm going to be destroyed forever and always. That's not free will.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But that goes against torturing. The lake of fire is like they're burning forever and over.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just can't wrap my head around, nor do I have the comfortability to preach about a loving God when somebody who is a different denomination than us And they go, they feed the homeless. They go, they take care of the sick. And because they didn't go through Jesus, which I understand, that's his home. You have to go through Jesus.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If they don't go through Jesus, they get tortured for a billion years. How could that be anywhere near in an Old Testament version or a New Testament version of our God? People say, God had a wrath. Look, he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Yeah, go read all the times he destroyed. It was like that. He didn't torture anybody.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I agree. I agree 100 percent. But that's not a free choice.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love that. And again, if he told me that this is how it is, then I'm going with it. But would any of you guys torture somebody for a million years? Any one of you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think when you say torture... If he created a man, he knows where he's going.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I agree with everything you're saying, but do you think it's forever?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But it was his decision. Do you think it was worth enough for him to be tortured forever?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just want to be able to clarify who this character that I'm serving is to these people that they think that he's just picking them up and throwing them. Because we can all say what we want, but you know what the atheist is going to say? Your God knew.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This video is sponsored by Daily Wire Plus. And you guys have already heard me speak highly, highly, highly about Dr. Jordan Peterson's The Gospels. This is the next chapter that Dr. Jordan Peterson dives into the Bible, following his groundbreaking work with Genesis and Exodus. But what makes The Gospels super unique is the conversations behind it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, now to switch sides a little bit. To switch sides, because I always had this movement to pivot. I was with Belle, and I put down weed because I was scared of being tossed into hell. Like I was like, dang, dude, there's going to be a point where God's like, did you choose me or did you choose your wickedness?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so one day I was sitting there and I was like just meditating and I go, God, like I want to stand up for this. Like I want to make sure that they know that their love, that this is not just this old powerful God, like throwing people into hell, throwing people into heaven. That was where my heart was at.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I did get something in my heart that says, don't focus on that because sometimes maybe they need to fear that. And sometimes they need to fear what they need to fear. And maybe they'll be wise enough to get to where they need to go by doing that. Because to be honest, maybe I myself would have never picked up the Bible if I didn't fear about going to hell forever and never and ever.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I think from this day forward, I am going to take the stance of the wise cliff. I do not know. Hallelujah, bro.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
By the way, I do apologize. I know I made harps at people that made those videos about me. I don't care. You can keep making the videos. But I just wanted to apologize to your heart because I don't want you to ever think that I'm representing God the wrong way. I truly want to represent God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And sometimes I have a bad habit of just running to war because I love war and I love to stand up for my God. But in this new chapter of my life, God keeps whispering, the war is not in your hands. Amen.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This isn't just a bunch of Christians sitting around and discussing things that they already know. This is a very, very deep and dynamic conversation full of Jewish people's perspective, scientists' perspective, people that doubt the Bible's perspective. This is just all coming together to dissect it in a way that you've probably never heard it before.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Amen. Can I say something? I'm not joking. Ever since truly just a few minutes ago where I was like, I'm just going to let go of this hell thing. I got to let go of my pride and just stick to the gospel. There's so much weight that left off me. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So much weight because I feel like I need to have the answers all the time because I'm scared. My fear is like...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
i don't want to be in front of god's presence and be like yo dude you you misstepped here and that one would scare me because i was like what if i'm wrong with this one like or what if i'm right with this one and like i think i just got to be patient to know that like i just started like and i'm not gonna have all the answers and it's okay uh to to tell people that i don't know and i sometimes i feel like if i say that i don't know or if i don't have the answers that i feel like i'm letting them down but most importantly like i'm like a hypocrite or like i don't know my god
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so it's a tough thing. That's what I'm wrestling with, which is actually what I wanted to kind of circle to. If you guys are comfortable, you don't have to all go, but is there anybody wrestling with something right now that they're like, I'm beating this up or it's beating me up or this is the thing that I'm wrestling? Like mine, like I said, is my ego.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like it always gets in the way of the Holy Spirit. Like I understand what God says, like pick up your cross. It's because I have to kill George. Like George needs to shut up. I need to get out of God's way. And that is making me then prosper in the kingdom rather than trying to worry about things that collect moths and dust and rust. Whoa.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like Jacob wrestling with God, they wrestle with some questions that you might also wrestle with. Did these events actually happen? What's the history behind all of this? And what does the stories and the gospels and the prophecies, what do they mean to us today in modern times? You can watch the first episode for free right now on Daily Wire Plus.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This kid yesterday, he asked me in the circle, which is kind of cool because when these kids are asking me a question and I'm telling them the answer, sometimes it helps me out as well. It helps me remember things. It's a very powerful thing. Which, by the way, I did six hours with this man. Now I know why he looks like a sports model. This guy, my legs were destroyed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I literally fell asleep as soon as I got in the car and he hit another few hours with people. I was like, I'm leaving you. I'm not staying here.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But this kid asked me, he goes, how do you let go of the hurt when you fail? Like when you fail, like, and it's all on you with your family and your wife and all that stuff. He goes, how do you let go of that? And I said, because I don't hold on to the ego of it. I don't hold on to my success. My success comes from God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And if you let that go, when things hit rock bottom or things start getting tough, you're not looking at it as I failed. You're just like, all right, this is where God wants me to be right now. I'm just going to keep going more moving forward. So I just wanted to put that out there because that helped me out a lot when that kid asked me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But yeah, is anybody wanting to speak up about something that they're like, they're just finished with God or maybe it's a new chapter with God or... It's a tough question to ask.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It doesn't have to be a deep, dark secret. It's just something like that you just maybe are like, wow, I got out of it and this is how I got out of it or this is something I'm dealing with right now. I feel that when I do this with myself on a podcast, that is usually when people come up to me like, dude, I was dealing with that too. Like,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it's just kind of putting yourself in front of the bullet so people could also feel like, oh, I feel like a little bit more comfortable.

The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The thorn or that obstacle that we all dealt with is the reason why we're sitting here. Because we let God cook. And Johnny actually told me, he goes, in the fire, you could either burn up or you could be malleable. and you could bend to what God wants you to be. And also, I was sitting at your guys' home, and you said that your favorite Bible verse is that I am content.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then I also say, God, thank you for the things that I'm not wise enough to thank you for that are like actively something I should have been thanking you for. And then I also apologize for moves that I don't know that I'm doing that hurts your heart.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that kept ringing in my ear. I go, why is that such a powerful word? Because they were content in the prison cells, and they were content when they had all the glory. So it taught me there. I'm like, okay, right now I'm very successful in my field, but if it not to be, I know I was just as happy flipping burgers at Five Guys because the Holy Spirit made me happy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I could go through these valleys, but still know that my God of creation, of creating joy is with me. That's why at Turning Point, when they asked me, they're like, you know, they're always giving prosperity, prosperity, like joy, joy, peace, joy, peace. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. We can't separate that from God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You cannot not be happy in the presence of God as in the same way you can't be in the sun and enjoy the sunshine. It's impossible. It's your choice to bring that sunshine on your rainy day or stand on the water when it's there. Being comfortable is very American. We're very, very like, yo, this is great. Because our comfortability is their luxury. You know what I mean? I make jokes all the time.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I go, we all live like kings. Like 100 years ago, if the kings there would realize what the poor people in America are going through, they'd be like, dude, this guy has two phones? How is this even happening? I don't even have one. Like, it's a joke that I always say, but if you could find gratitude in it, you could then take yourself out of depression and out of anxiousness.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's why God says, who could add a minute to their life being anxious? And at the same time, he's explaining, you cannot be anxious and grateful at the same time. So I realized, I was like, wait, wait, wait. Well, I was at the top of my career and depressed, but I was flipping burgers and I was sad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And God whispered in my heart, not audibly, but he said, he's like, because you were thinking of me. When you were flipping that piece of meat that was meaningless to you, you were flipping, but you were sitting there thinking about them. But when you were up here, you were thinking about yourself.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so, like, I don't think that we're not going to have trouble, but are we dealing with our trouble ourselves? Or are we like, you're dead. You take this. I don't want to do this at all. Facts. It's really honorable. Thanks for opening it up for us.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because every day, like for example, when I was doing the episode of the Girls Gone Bible, I really don't think that sinning, like it was cussing was like cursing. I thought it was like, if you curse somebody, but then when I really dove into it, I was like, oh, I need to really watch my mouth and clean my mouth. I'm still actively trying to do that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And by the way, not being comfortable and being the first one to talk.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
so beautiful i have a one question for you cliff because all of us if we if we're obedient to god we're going to follow in your footsteps of turning so many people to god i'm not saying it's you i know it's the holy spirit that's working through you and you're so humble with it but what are something that stopped you and interfered you uh with the holy spirit where was it
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
an emotion or was it a practice? What was it that you want to warn us about following in your footsteps and preaching the gospel?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But every day you're learning and you're adapting. But what about the sin that we all know we do willingly? Like that's the one that we never talk about. And that's the one that hurts me the most. Like, thank God I don't smoke weed anymore. But when I was smoking weed, like I knew it was bad, but I would still go into it. Like I was like, I was chained up to this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And sometimes that type of feeling makes you feel like you don't even want to be in a relationship with God. Not because you don't love him, it's because you're like, you shouldn't even love me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like, I can't even, you got nailed to a cross, beat so bad, they didn't even know what gender you were, and yet I can't even put down this J. Like, I know you want me, but I don't feel like I deserve the love that you're giving me. Like, the sin that we purposefully walk into knowing that it's wrong, at what point does he walk away from us for that? Do you get what I'm saying?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You are the Billy Graham of this generation. Amen. Yeah, you really are. It's a beautiful thing that you have your ability to speak. And me and Bell were actually talking about this. We would watch old clips of you speaking at college campuses. Old. Old clips.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I was like, there was like four people around you. That's right. Yeah, it was like you had like four or five people around you. And that same clip now has like millions and millions and millions and millions of views. And I just kept thinking like how the Holy Spirit is like, you just wait, man. Like you have no idea. It's not just four kids.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's about to be almost a billion people that watch that clip. Wow. And you're doing something great for the kingdom.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We had the privilege of meeting his wife. The whole family is just absolutely beautiful. And when we walked out of their home, me and her actually said a prayer together. We're like, God, we have to have a relationship like that. They do it. You guys put God centered and you guys, we could tell, man, like it is a beautiful thing. It is really a beautiful thing. And that's so cool.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Every man needs a wife to say, come on, Cliff, start. You know what I mean? Every man needs that. Every man deserves that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's awesome. If you don't mind, we just talked about his relationship. I know you have a brand new relationship.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
By the way, gorgeous. This guy looks like a Ken doll. Just walked into my house. I was like, God bless. This is great. She's married, by the way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like, how could you take all of the mercy but still keep doing it? I just feel like that's spitting in the face of somebody that's your father. Do you guys ever feel this way?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's beautiful. What would you think that a woman in your footsteps when she's in her single phase, what do you think that she needs to accomplish with God first before even waiting for a man?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, amen. Amen. I see the ones that have a really healthy relationship when they give that to God. They're like, you know what, God? I'm done looking. You look. Oh, absolutely. I give it to you. I am a bad chooser. It's so funny. When I met Bell, I just started being obedient, and some dude just walked in and be like, dude, I think I just found your wife. It literally was my wife.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I didn't earn it. I didn't look out for it. I wasn't at a club bopping my head, drinking with my boys. I just, I got right with God and God was like, okay, now I can give you a gift.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
My friend walked into the room and literally met her before me. And he goes, dude, I think I met your wife. And then our first date, I told her, I was like, I'm going to marry you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
She thought I was Italian. She's like, it works. I'm Italian.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We're Assyrian. I mean, I'm so proud to be a Syrian. We speak the language Jesus spoke. So when we watched A Passion of the Christ, I understood what was going on. It was cool. That is cool. Aramaic. It's cool. So beautiful. I want to ask you, man, how you doing, bro? Like you just came into this world out of nowhere and started rocking it for the kingdom. What's that like?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yo, I am so pumped that I get to say this for the very first time. I've actually dreamt about saying this. We're going on tour and tickets are now out and available for you guys. Man on Water Tour starts in September, but make sure you guys get your tickets now because I guarantee you they are going to go out. To get tickets, go to thegeorgejangoshow.com for tickets right now.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That is beautiful. You know, Peter, when he was on the water with Jesus, we always say like, why did he sink? It's because he took his eyes off of Jesus and he looked at the problem. And I realized that sometimes people that are preaching for God, they take their eyes off of Jesus and they put it on themselves. And that's when you start sinking.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I have to keep telling myself, the war is not in your hands. We shine when we take the glory away from us, when we take our own wisdom off of us, when we take people's eyes off of us and put it onto Jesus, that's when we shine.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But because of the comments that we read, because we have to, and it's our job, and because our job is intertwined with our name and what we do, we forget what we're doing sometimes. It's not because we want to.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's because we're trying to work for God so much, then we start talking about our works in front of him, and he takes a step back a bit because you're talking about ourselves a little bit too much. And then he comes back in. So I just want to let you know, bro, what you found on your own at the age of 21, people in their 40s and 50s still struggle with, and they don't even understand it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They don't understand. So I'm super, super proud of you, dude.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Later on today, she goes, when I said that's a bar.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We're having him as a guest soon, and we're very excited about that. Ruslan, you are a man who's able to really go up against the grain, dude. We talk about things all the time. I get off the phone with you every time, and I'm like, I got to be doing way more, bro. This guy is going...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
up for it what is what's causing the resilience what's causing you to keep climbing even on the days that like dude you you'd say like the craziest day to me and be like but it's all good i'm doing this this and that and i'm like dude if god gave me like a quarter of that right now i would be like freaking out and you're so humble about it what's the secret to keep your eyes your eyes on jesus and not sinking underneath the water
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So say what happens if I do? What happens if I... And you keep practicing it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that's the thing. It's just like an addiction or something like... Thank God I am not a slave to pornography anymore. But I know a lot of good men that love their wife, but they're a slave to pornography. Great husbands, great fathers, but they are just...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
but here's another thing is like they could convince themselves it's no big deal but what happens to the guy like me where I straight up know I'm doing something wrong and that's what scares me the most is that I know it's easier for that guy because he doesn't really know but I know I literally will have a great conversation with you guys and then not anymore but I would have rolled up a J right afterwards and just smoked it and you knew it was wrong I knew it was wrong yeah I would say God disciplines those he loves you know and that's a scary place to be like if we're in the process of practicing sin knowing it is sinful then
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just want, my heart wants to scream something. Like, above it all, the one thing that just kept shining through it is like, the beautiful timing of her at that time racing you to church. If her time was going to be any time in her life, it excites me that she had a new relationship with Jesus and that you made a great impact. And I pray that you have a tremendous amount of peace.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I pray that God could use this for his kingdom. And one day you could look at it and um, have more of an idea of why, even though we wrestle with that question all the time, it's, uh, it's, it's inspiring, man. When I got off the phone with you, I know you said I spoke life to you, but it spoke way more life to me, man.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like your, your obedience to him during that like type of weather, it was honorable, man. It puts things in perspective. Like, you know, like what am I actually complaining about? And look how my brother is like dealing with something versus how I deal with the small things. And so just as your brother, bro, you've inspired me in so many ways. And the craziest part is not by your actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I mean, not by your words, but your actions. It wasn't your podcast that motivated me to be a better man. It was the way that I saw you behind the curtains dealing with things that made me behind my curtains deal with certain things. So I'm praying for you, dude. Thank you, man.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So, okay. So let's think, let's like kind of draw this out. This is how I was thinking about it. And let me see if like my brain is right. Your sin will separate you from God and God's glory and God's blessings. Not saying that it's going to ruin your salvation because we're all sinners. But if a man is drunk but loves God, right?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Guys, I think we've landed the episode. I think this was everything I could ever dream about. I think everybody not only showed up, but they showed Christ. And I think that was like the best part of it. We're all still learning. And so I really do want to encourage you guys to call me whenever you need me. The same way that I bug these guys all the time. This guy and this guy and this guy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want you guys to realize that in the kingdom, we're brothers and sisters, and we're in a field that's really tough. And the only way to really storm is to do it together. And don't deal with it on your own. And don't let the devil make you feel bad for interrupting it. My phone's open 24-7.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Even if it's in the middle of the night, even if I have to cancel a show and come meet you guys, what we're doing is greater than our own selves. And I think we should have our eyes on Christ, but also have our shoulders up against each other. And I really love you guys, and thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you, George.
The George Janko Show

Or if he ruins his life, at what point does he stop ruining his earthly life and it actually involves his heavenly life? You get what I'm saying? Like, okay, if I smoke weed, right? Yeah, I'm not going to lose my salvation over it, but I might lose my mind. And God says, okay, I can't anoint you because you are rather walking away from me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm going to give it to Bryce because Bryce has a hunger and heart for me. So like the parable, I'm going to take what I gave to you and I'm going to give it to him. That's how I see it. But that's not even what I feared. I just feared of one day him being like, be away from me, dude. Like I've told you a hundred times, don't put it down. You can't put it down.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The reason why I harp on this is because marijuana was like, okay, I finally put that down. But then I look... And I have like a long list of things I need to work on. And any man who says that they don't truly are lying or they're blessed with not even knowing. So it's like when they meet God, they'll be like, oh, I didn't know, but I knew.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And the more I practice in reading God, that's what I'm trying to get at. I think people are scared to keep coming closer to God is because it's like more revealing who you are and how much work you have to do. But then also it says that it's not your works. So it's just kind of like this limbo of like, what do I do and what is the actual purpose Cutting point of salvation.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Did you guys have like a telepathic conversation? That was weird.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You guys both cut each other off in your minds. You're like, no, you go ahead.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, there's a series that's coming out on Amazon Prime that's called The House of David. And man, am I excited about this. House of David is a one-of-a-kind series produced by Wander Project and Amazon Studios. I'm very excited because they say that it's very true to the gospel. And us as believers, we should go and support projects that are based off of our faith.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This is the first time that a major studio has given creative control to faith believers like us. So they promised me that there's no fluff and this is actually deep, deep, biblically rooted. The series is releasing on February 27th on Prime Video and it's going to be released in 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm super excited to watch the first three episodes that they're releasing on Amazon Prime.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. He only gets annoyed when we call him the most anointed. Are we ready to rock? Cool, cool. Guys, welcome back to the George Janko Show. This is episode 100, and I am humbled to be around you guys. Each one episode of you guys was such a special moment in my life. I learned that I got to be obedient with my mouth.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's talk about it. How does a man do it? We already know that Jesus is the way, and he can do it. I have an answer, but I would love to want to, like, I want to, like, get you guys to specific. Because there's somebody right now watching this, and they're probably getting really angry. Because it looks like we kind of conquered it, and we don't. Every single one of us struggles with sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But there is that one bigger sin in your life where if you remove that mountain, a lot of things could start blossoming. But how do we do it? Okay, Jesus is the answer. Putting it away is the answer. But somebody's going to probably be on their phone being like, dude, get out of here. I don't even, like, I wasn't even thinking about Jesus trying to get rid of this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
How is Jesus going to come down like an angel? What is he going to do? How can I get rid of this sin? I'm addicted. My father was addicted. His father was addicted. This generational curse has been on our family. I'm I'm depressed. A lot of people hold on to their hurt because they don't want to get rid of it because sometimes it's like they earned it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's like, no, do you have any idea how much I've suffered in this? And they don't want to let go. How does a man let go of the sin? What's the first action of it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I learned how I can combat with my mom in a way that me and her could be healthy. We went from arguing to now sitting down, breaking bread, reading God's words together, even though we have different points of views. Shout out. You guys made me cry so many times. Honestly, you guys were the foundation of how I should even be in this field. So thank you guys for that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And in Psalm 51, he says... I love how it's so profound. He's like, man, what the heck?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Break that down. Because I just feel like, dude, there's so many people that walk away from God because the devil beat him. And the reason why I just want to, before you even bring this up, I think the reason why the gospel always brings up planting a seed is because the devil also plants as well. And people think that that planting is like, oh, there's nothing here. It's just dirt.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's no big deal. But it catches up. And when that grows, those fruits and those thorns, it ties up God's blessing and chokes them.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You inspired me. You're so young. And yesterday, even when I was watching you speak, you literally were just blowing me away, truly teaching me. You could be an infant or you could be an elder. And if you're with God, you're wiser. So, like, truly, dude, I love watching you talk. Ruslan, you were the one that always pushed me to get married and become a man of God and somebody that's not.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so like. That gets to a point where people are like, I got to bounce. I'm not going to make it to heaven. And they listen to the condemnation. And then they walk away. So I'm trying to figure out how they could beat it. But also, I want them to have great hope. Because man, if you don't have hope, it's over for you. There's no way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But here's the question that scares people. The sin that kills you, does it kill just your body here on earth, or does it kill you in the next life?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Somebody was talking to me in the circle yesterday, and they were like, you know, my dad was a good man, but he lost his life to addiction and stuff. But he loved God. And to me, it's just like... Okay, say I'll use myself as an example. Say there's two versions of me. One gives up marijuana, and one doesn't give up marijuana. But my heart will always love God. I will never not love God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And to be honest, there's a lot of people that smoke, and they read their Bible, and they're with God. They're just a slave to this. Now, I just keep using this as an example because I've walked through it. What happened if, God forbid, I died? And I was still sinning, even though I knew it was sinning.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When I meet my father, is he going to say, no, you didn't walk away from it when you walked away from it? Or is it just the punishment that I have on earth that I robbed myself from this earth of beautiful things that he could have made? When he says that my will would be done in heaven and on earth. Am I just robbing myself right here?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm so happy I get to say this. Let me list you guys off where we're going. Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee again, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York City.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But because I love him and it's not my works and it is because what Jesus did, do I still enter the kingdom or did I lose myself and did my sin kill me and separate me from my father?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, yeah. You told me, he did it. Yeah. But guys, you guys have truly inspired me in ways that I can't thank you guys enough. And so you guys all taking time out of your schedules, you guys are all all over the place. And so for you guys to be here, it means the world to me. I appreciate it with all of my heart.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When did that start happening, by the way, the unalive yourself? Yeah, I've seen that a lot.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Oh, wow. I'm still going to beep it just in case.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's dive even deeper, though, because when I look at you guys, and I hope nobody here takes any offense to this, But I'll measure you guys how I measure myself. We're all hypocrites. All of us. There's so many times people in the streets are like, dude, you have no idea what you did.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm like, dude, if you knew what I, in my mind, think, do, act, you'd be like, oh, dude, you might be worse than me. I know for a fact, I tell people, dude, be calm, be peaceful. Until I'm on the 101, somebody cuts me off. And then all of a sudden, it's like I forget who Jesus is completely. Or if I'm dealing with any type of sin, there is no version of me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Thanks, thanks. So before we get started, I kind of want to set the tone. This is not like me speaking and asking a question at a time. I want to throw out topics, and all of us discuss it. Iron sharpens iron. So if at any point you want to cut somebody off, do it. Feel free. Nobody should be offended, and nobody should be quiet.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I have never gone one day without sinning. I have never gone one day without sinning. Do I try not to sin? Yes. So is it just trying? The thought that I have in my head, it's like if I had two kids and one of them... actively disobeyed me and didn't care about it versus the one that was actually heartbroken about it and tried to. So is it just trying to that it gets you into heaven?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is the actual thing that gets you to heaven, no sugarcoating it? Because some Catholics might believe that, oh, you have to confess your sins. Some people might say you got to be sinless, which is crazy. I don't even know how anybody thinks that. But what is the actual, this is what you need to talk to that man before you get into heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is that for, for just baby Christians or maybe people that are Christians their whole life, but they struggle with this. I was walking with somebody that I love that's actively in the church three times a week, cooks for the church, does all these things. She's an old woman and God put her in my heart, goes, go, go take a walk with her. And I asked her, and she's getting a little sick now.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
She's older. And I said, do you know if you're going to heaven? And man, it looked like I blew a shotgun through her chest. And she just looks down so defeated. And she goes, I don't know. And to me, it's like, dude, the devil is robbing her joy because she should have just been celebrating this whole time that she is about to go to heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And now when she's getting older every single day, she's after all of the works that she's even done, which I'm not saying it's about your works, but man, imagine somebody doing something so good for you every day and feel so bad every day. You're just like, dude, stop doing the work. It's not even worth it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What do we do for these people to give them hope that they're going to go into the kingdom of God?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't want anybody to be feeling like, oh, you know, there's a lot of people here. I want everybody to kind of join in. I wanted to open up with a funny story just to get it going. Do you guys know where Bryce stayed last night at a hotel? He stayed at where I believe hookers go and sleep at night or prostitutes. This guy doesn't check reviews, doesn't check anything.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He just trusts it, books a hotel, goes. I would like you to share the experience of how you felt last night checking into your hotel, bro.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So, yeah, I want you to go deeper with this, with the water at the wedding. And then also I want you to tie it in with Adam naming the animals, because when you broke that down for me, it really it completed a very big piece of the puzzle for me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You just dropped a bomb on us and you're like, dude, we got better ones for ourselves.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I also find it very powerful. Like all of this blends in with who you are. In the beginning was the word and Jesus said it's going to be right. And then we're made in his image. So how we speak is how we're about to accept. I noticed that the people that are sad, depressed and anxious, bro, I'm so tired today. I'm anxious today. I got this today. And then you see the go-getters.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Bro, I got up today, six o'clock, six o'clock, 10 pushups. I was like, I went 10 miles. And I was like, whoa, they're speaking and then they're doing. They're speaking and they're doing. So I literally one day to get myself out of depression, I literally looked at myself in the mirror and I just kept telling myself all these things I should be grateful for.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And dude, it went right back to the old version of me where I was always so bubbly and happy and excited. And it's because I spoke it first. And like, again, it's a seed. A lot of people want that instant gratification because we have a time feed that we just keep refreshing and it's just at our fingertips. But no, wake up every day. Stay consistent to being disciplined with your mouth.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But also, most importantly, how you're speaking to the people around you. If you have your wife or you have your husband, if your husband's lazy, don't call him lazy because then now he's just like he put the crown of laziness on his head and you'll watch. He'll make jokes about it. He goes, I'm lazy. It's like, no, no.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You should congratulate him when he does something good and reward him with that joy. He wants to see his wife be excited about him when he's doing things and it'll give him excitement. Have you ever seen a bad father just talk down to his kid all day? That kid's going to grow up with full anxiousness and full depression because his father poured that into him.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But you see, my father, I used to lose all the time. My dad goes, you lost? Not in my eyes. He goes, you're a winner. And I go, no, I lost. He goes, no, not in my eyes. And it just changed my thought. And I was like, no, I'm a winner. I'm a winner. And I had this joke where I used to be like, I ain't going to spare the rod with my daughter.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's because I was like, I'm looking at all these girls nowadays. I'm like, you got me scared. I'm like, dude, I don't want a daughter, bro. Like, it's getting me really worried. And I was like, dude, I'm going to know where she's at. Her location's going to be on, da-da-da-da-da. And Belle, I'm seeing her.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Only men. But then I realized one day, I was sitting there with the gospel, and when I put down the J, and it was just the Holy Spirit that said, put it down. And it was because he loved me that I put it down. And it really just hit me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so I put it down, and I sat there with Belle, and I go, Belle, if I do my job, I'll love her enough for her to feel comfortable to talk to me about everything. and I wouldn't need her location, she'd share me her location. If I love her like a good man, then she wouldn't want a man to love her in any other different way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so the power of how you speak to your children, to your wife, to everybody. And by the way, and this is, it's so funny, and this seems like I'm joking, but when you're a baby Christian, you are so quarrelsome. you just want to fight everybody. Like you think that you feel God's glory and you're wielding it on everyone. And that's how truly I felt.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like I would get in arguments with people that I loved and it pushed them away from God. And it's just such a roller coaster.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Can I say something? Because like, it's so funny. I didn't start planting those seeds because like every meal she gives me that she cooks, which by the way, like I'm not saying this to be chauvinistic, like women, there is nothing you could do. That is going to be greater than taking care of a home. Nothing. I don't care what job. You could be a rocket scientist.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But every time I come home and this woman makes this place feel like a home, I would rather live underneath a rock if Belle's dusting the dirt from it and presenting me a rock plate. It is a home when she makes it a home. I tell her when she's not here, it's just walls that I'm surrounded by.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There is nothing that is greater than that. Every meal, three times a day, I will thank her for it every time. But the reason why I started this is because I heard jokes and jokes are always like a little jab, but it has some meaning to it. Everybody would always say, George, you say the things that everybody's thinking, but nobody says. And I was like, oh, that's a compliment.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then it went deeper to be like, you're kind of ruthless when you talk to us. And I was like, oh, that's not great. And I just, you really just laughed right out because I'll give direction because I I grew up in this industry with Logan, and Logan in a sugar coat, I don't even think he knew what sugar was. He would just drill right into my heart, rip my heart out, put it on the table.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But that man made me a beast at working. And he did not play around. He didn't cut around. He was a surgeon. He ripped in and ripped out. And so I was like, if I put more love into this, that way when I do these things, they know it's coming from a loving place. But the aspect that I learned was when I gave them the love, I didn't need to go here. I didn't need to do the correction.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I didn't need to come and be ruthless and say, hey, this isn't that. When I encouraged them all the time, they did the things that I was begging them to do before and harping on them before and correcting on them before. They did it because they felt valuable and they felt loved. And I was like, whoa. Speaking love is way easier than correction, correction, correction, correction.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And a lot of people at church use that fear method. And I want to circle, the fear of God isn't the fear of like, he's going to come down and beat the brakes off of you. The fear of God is he loves you so much, it would be a darn shame for you to represent him the wrong way. And that way, when somebody else looks at you and you're reflecting Jesus, hypocritically, it affects him.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You should be very fearful of that, that you're representing Christ the wrong way. This video is sponsored by Rise Up Kings. Rise Up Kings is a movement.

I would love to dive just deeper, if you guys don't mind, because we're just, we're hammering away. This is beautiful. Baptism. Does a man need to be baptized to go into the kingdom of God?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't even, how do you not know that by now, dude? Also, if they don't have a lobby and they have a bartender, bounce, dude. It's not a place you should be.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yo, I am so unbelievably overwhelmed and joyful that I get to come and see you guys in your home states, give you guys hugs, get to hang out with you, tell some jokes, have some great conversations, have amazing special guests for you guys. It is going to be a night I know for a fact I'm not going to forget, and I pray that you guys come. Bring your family and friends.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Let's dive a little bit deeper. A lot of denominations have different point of views for baptism. I was baptized as a baby. And before I used to be like, my way is the right way. But I'm starting to understand that I don't know everything. And so it's better for me to keep my mouth shut and just keep learning.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But my perspective of it is the way that baptism is viewed in my eyes, which could be wrong because my heart is wicked, is it's a proposal. And that's why he uses the bride and the groom thing so many times. But if it's a proposal, shouldn't it be my mouth that's proposing to God? Shouldn't it be me confessing that I've lived this life without you and I do want to live this life with you?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Before I got married, I was blessed enough to get baptized with my best friend by Cliff. And I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It's just hard because it breaks my mom's heart and my dad's heart because... They have a viewpoint of Christ. And this is also, I'm going to take a little, no, but it's,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to finish this off and then continuing it with households and the division of viewpoints and how not to be quarrelsome, but to be together. Because if you are representing Jesus, you are a peacemaker, an active peacemaker. And that's better than a peacekeeper. A lot of people think that you just got to be a peacekeeper. I'll keep the peace. It's not how it is. It's a peacemaker.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You have to go and make the peace. So before we get into that, Baptism, should it be done by a man who could flicker with his own tongue to the almighty God? I confess you as my God. I love you with all of my heart. I want you to be my God. I choose you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Or should the household bring their children because they want to wipe away the sins of Adam and they don't want their baby to pass away and be living in sin, which is a valid fear, but I just wanna make sure that we fear the right things and not listen to the wrong fears.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So what's the gospel say about baptism, though?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So is that why when Paul said, have you guys been baptized by the Holy Spirit? And they were like, no, we've just been doing the water. But what is... what is the fundamental gospel viewpoint of the water baptism? Cause I think that's the separation. I think to be honest, you're absolutely right. Because when I felt the Holy spirit, it wasn't when I was getting dunked in water.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's when I really just confessed. And I said, I'm a sinner. I need a savior. And I truly felt the Holy spirit enter my body. It was an,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
insane feeling um it wasn't there there was no water involved there was no witnesses involved but i'm talking about the baptism of water the same way that john the baptist was getting everything ready for christ um i'm saying what is that so that way a kid at home that maybe is in a different household with a different view uh could make steps for himself to present himself to god appropriately through the scripture i would say just again it goes back to the spiritual aspect of it right
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But he does that a lot. Like, we were at an event for Turning Point, and this guy with a cast on was just riding on an airplane with him, and he, like, came. And, by the way, I've never seen somebody as happy as this man. Like, you just go and talk to random people and bring them with you, and I find that to be, like, really honorable, bro. Like...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
A lot of households do that. I remember when I was on vacation, I would literally, my parents would fight because on Wednesdays and Fridays, my mother gives those days for the Lord. And I don't nitpick, and I've learned to, you know, if God put it in her heart.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I even remember a verse that says that if they do a certain tradition, don't look at it because you don't know what God's doing with their heart. But regardless, but I see my mom and dad argue all the time. My dad's like, we're on vacation. We're on vacation. I'm needed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The whole time they'll be arguing and I'm sitting here and I have to go with my mom. It's like two against one. It's God and mom. And then it's just my pagan dad over there. And so that causes a lot of division. Now, the gospel is something that brings people together. Unfortunately, it does cause division. I have separated a lot of times because of my ego.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I want to say that again, my ego, not God's ego. God didn't come down with an ego. I start strutting around with this holiness that I got going on to me. Look at me, my podcast and the conversations. I got it going on right. I don't think this way, but I talk this way. And sometimes I have to catch myself and be like, dude, calm down. Yeah. You got to relax.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
There are households right now that are visiting the same situation that I had where I have grown in the scriptures and I'm looking at what we're doing in real life and I'm like, yo, this is going against the scriptures and I can't be doing this. And so this broke my heart and I started sobbing in my mom's arms and I told her this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I might sound a lot like too dramatic, but somebody who's going through this will understand what I'm saying. I said, I understand what it felt like when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. And it's like God chose, are you going to choose your family or are you going to choose me? And it's the separation.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Now, it's not me killing my mom, but it's killing a beautiful relationship between me and my mom. Me and my mom were always on the same page. And this grew into such a beautiful garden. So I was so confused. Why would my God ask me to separate the teachings that my mother gave to me? Even when the gospel says, do not forget your mother's teachings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then I'm like, well, I'm starting to realize that this might not be God's teachings. And so it caused this division and quarrelsome. I've got an amazing blessing from you to figure out how to go about this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I talk to strangers all the time and they give me weird looks, but you invite them with you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I would love for you guys to share though, what should a kid do that if he's in a house that maybe they're Buddhist, maybe they're Muslim, maybe they're Jewish, maybe they're Orthodox Catholic, but they want to stick to the scripture and their parents are looking at them as if they've walked away from themselves and God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
May I ask you a question? I don't mean to interrupt you, but I just want to understand that. Did you not understand Jesus because they were more concerned about traditions rather than teaching the gospel?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But by the way, it's beautiful. And the, all the reverence that they bring, it is beautiful. It's not mockery. It's not, but I can't get my head around the fact that they'd rather, they're like, we're not, we're not going to let go of our people's traditions, but I'm like, but your people are no longer understanding what's going on. So at this point, have you guys forgot to deny yourselves?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like denying yourself is denying where you come from, your tongue that you speak. Is it more important to speak the language that you guys are speaking or is it to speak what Jesus is trying to teach you? Sorry, I got passionate about that. I'm going to get so many bad texts.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen, man. By the way, that is like, that has to bring your heart so much joy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's amazing. I was outside and I just got so emotional with Johnny and I just started crying. I go, dude, I'm tired of like, don't get me wrong. I want to make this very clear. My mom and dad are like ridiculously proud of me. Like even when they shouldn't be proud of me, they've always, they like, don't cry, George, don't do this. But they were my two greatest gifts.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it just crushed me that I, all these other parents would congratulate my faith and my walk. But when I look over there, they were like, we're scared of where you're going. And like, and so I went up to him and I start sobbing and I go, It's unfair. I'd rather no other parents ever congratulate me, but my two parents that brought me into this earth be proud. And he smiled at me and laughed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He brought up some fun street gang slangs related to me. And he says, you don't get it. Your mom needs to stop hearing your lips. and see your actions. And I go, okay. And I started laughing because I was like, it was always my lips that caused the problem. I would be on a podcast or I'd be on a stage and I'd always give God my mouth and have him speak through me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then when I'm with my mom, I was so quarrelsome and we're getting so many arguments. And one day I just changed. I said, you know, mom, you have your perspective and I have my perspective. I go, but why don't we hear Jesus' perspective? So why don't we bring the word of God and we'll sit here? I go, you could bring your priest. I'll bring people that I look up to.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm sorry for calling you so much. And I will literally sit here and we could discuss it, but let's do this like both a solid and let's more weigh our thoughts on what Jesus thinks because I could be wrong and you could be wrong. And one day I just never forgot it. It was just like, and it was so quick too. And you would think it would take a long time. It was like a few weeks.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And my father, who wants nothing to do with spirituality, looked at me and he goes, because you're different. He goes, you changed my eyes. You're not the same. And he started wanting to like talk about God. And then he pulled out this movie and he's like, I want to watch this movie with you. And it was Joseph the King. And I'm like, wow, like all I had to do is humble myself.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just had to humble myself. I keep thinking that the war is in my hands. And sometimes you look at your loved one and this is where I lost my way. I acted on my fear. I stopped fearing the Lord. I feared I'm losing my mom's salvation, making it seem like I even had anything to do with it. I got in the way of the Holy Spirit and then got mad at the Holy Spirit for what's going on here.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Why would you let this happen? So that was a beautiful answer. I thank both of you gentlemen for saying it. But yeah, like sometimes preaching needs no words at all. And a good preacher could do it all, all of the biblical forms of preaching just by his actions. And it's even worse sometimes to give the words and not follow with your actions. And that's what I was doing in my house.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I was telling people, this is what the gospel is, but the character that I was showing them was of not of God. It was of Satan. I gave them the scripture, but then I acted like Satan. Like I never swore on my mom because I'm Middle Eastern. The most I could get is loud. If I swore, I'm dead. I'd go straight to meeting the creator.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I would get loud, and it was a version of me that I was, first of all, it wasn't me. So imagine my mom. She's like, that's not you. You've never been like that with me. And we're talking about the gospel. And so I just want to get to a place where I can help the audience. The war is not in your hands. It's not.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The best thing you could do is just be obedient, act like Christ, and this is what I've learned when you were preaching is to love them. even when they're like walking in a way that you're like, dude, and we get so dramatic, right? I would be like, oh my God, my mom's walking towards hell while holding a J, venting to my friend, smoking weed. And I was like, what kind of hypocrite am I, bro?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Isn't the gospel say that the wise ones are usually quiet?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to tie that to scripture. Lazarus, when he brought him out, but before he was weeping. And the weeping wasn't because he didn't know he could bring him back. It was the lack of faith. And so he had to make them move the boulder. And that's the action, moving the boulder.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It is so important to pray, but a lot of people pray and still imagine death and still imagine their parents in that situation. They imagine their children in that situation. And it's like whatever you're picturing here, you're planning for. So, like, change the inside of the way you believe. And by the way, pray for that. You could ask the Holy Spirit, hey, help me pray to you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think we all kind of deal with this situation where like, this is what I want to say. And I wanted to ask you guys about this because I've been dealing with this lately. I feel like our audience loves us when we say things that they agree with and are ready to rip us down when they don't agree with us.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't think I'm praying correctly. That changed. I started speaking differently when I asked God to help me start speaking. I changed the way that I spoke. And by the way, he'll bring you people to check you and be like, hey, why are you swearing? The same time that I was asking God to help me speak through him, I had two women on my podcast questioning me on how I was speaking.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Don't run away from people, like, teaching you a lesson.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because you're asking for it, but you're running away from it. And a lot of people ask, and when God wants to give it to you, you're egotistical. Like, I don't like the way you're giving it to me. I want you to give it to me the way that I've been picturing it right here. And that is not the way. But let's circle back to prayer. There's very variations of prayer.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And there's one version of prayer that I see a lot of my loved ones do, and they pray to saints. And to me, it's like, and I'm hanging myself up to dry. I used to do this. I used to fast for saints. I used to pray to saints. And then, I'm not going to lie. No, I didn't. Like, they wanted me to. They wanted me to. Even as a little kid, I just never did it. I didn't feel comfortable.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just wanted to talk to Jesus. I don't understand why you had to talk to the middleman. Like, I didn't like that. And even at a younger age. But I just wanted to be relatable for them. But there's people that I love that do that. But I just felt like I was lying there. And I don't want to lie.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But praying to saints, I have a lot of people that I love that they do that, so I don't want to look like I'm harping on this. But Jesus says there is nobody that goes to the Father but besides me. If you want to talk to him, talk to me. And then there's another Bible verse that says do not talk to the dead, right? And then there's some people that are like, well, are they dead?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because the thief on the cross said that today you'll be with me in paradise, so there might be some people that are alive. That kind of threw me for a little spin. I'm not going to lie. But... I just want to know that when I'm praying, I find it more valuable to get in my prayer closet alone and speak to my king.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then also go to people that correct me and teach me and say, hey, Cliff, I've done this a lot. Cliff, could you pray for me? And every time, by the way, if you ever got off the phone with him, he says a prayer for you. So I'm going to put his number in the description. But I have brothers and sisters pray for me because they're here. And a lot of priests would come up to me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They're like, do you have your mother pray for you? Why would you not have... Peter pray for you or Mary pray for you. And my example was, I'm like, well, they're alive right now. And we're here as a community and as a church, we're united. So I think that's the reason one.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I'm like, two, my example would be if the disciples were there, why wouldn't they tell them to pray to Isaac or David or Abraham? Why would they, they weren't told to do that. So I don't want, that's all my opinion, right? But that's meaningless. My heart could be wrong. What does the gospel say about praying to saints and who should you pray towards?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And one of the things that they don't agree with us is like some of the crowds that we mingle in. And I grew up in the entertainment field, so I have a lot of entertainment friends. And like, I know their hearts. I know where their heart would be if they knew God. How do you guys go about like... Telling people and motivating them.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And by the way, these men have great hearts. These women have great hearts. They're the ones that are out there feeding the homeless, being with the widows. I am not putting my finger in their face and saying, you guys are wrong. Which, by the way, I did. And that's why I was quarrelsome. And that's why my parents and loved ones are like, dude, this guy ain't it. It was my actions.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's not that their hearts are like, we need Mary, we need this. But they're truly are like, they're looking at it as like... Kind of like how we are. If I want to meet you, but you know him, I'm like, hey, Andrew, could you talk to him for me? I really, really want to speak to him. They're not doing it in a satanic way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I have to admit, a lot of times they give a lot of praise and glory to these saints.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so I can't hide that aspect of it. And also I see them kiss the cross. I see them kiss Mary. I see them kiss the ring. I won't do that. I will not do that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But what happens when they fast and they cut lambs for Peter?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They cut lambs. People fast. A lot of churches, they will do lambs. They'll do sacrificial things today? Yeah.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. He's an asshole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Certified. No, but I'm saying they do the sacrifices. And also, guys, when they're sacrificing, they're also fasting. And to me, that's a sacrifice. You've seen a sacrifice in person? No, they just pass the lamb out.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
No, no, no. I don't know. Maybe they do. I'm not sure. All I know is, okay, let's take the lamb out. That was aggressive. But they do have lambs. But, okay, take the lamb out.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Take the lamb out. But take the lamb out. The fasting, like my mom, she gives up Wednesdays and Fridays, right? In her eyes, she goes, I dedicated the Lord. And by the way, she's super healthy. There's a lot of benefits to this. But when, by the way, those two days are for God. She's not doing it for anybody. But family members of mine stopped doing it for saints.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They're like, the reason that we're called the light of the world and the salt of the world is because you're supposed to be in environments where there is not any love of God. There's lack of God. And so you're supposed to go there and shine his light in that room. Are you guys ever dealing with this situation or how do you how do you go about moving forward with it?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
When they give up days for Mary or Peter, that's a sacrifice. To me, I think you should only do a sacrifice to God. Nowhere in the Old Testament did they even do a sacrifice unless it was for God. So if Peter or Mary was here, I truly think by reading the gospel that they would say, hey, put your attentions to him, not me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But man, do I get smoked out when I talk about this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, and by the way, they did. They ripped me to shreds with the hell conversation that I had. And I just want you guys to know, And when I was in high school or middle school or elementary school, I didn't care what these little kids said about me. And then it prepared me to be here. You can make all of the videos you want because I fear God. And I'm only telling you guys this. Don't follow me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Read the gospel. I say this all the time. I am not a preacher.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100

The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Anybody could speak up at any time. I'll ask Johnny. I feel like he has an answer for this one.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, doesn't Paul tell women to cover their heads? So they should be doing that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Well, the church my mom goes to, they cover their head still. The women's cover their head in church. And to be honest, it's honorable. Because it's taking men's attention away from them and putting it towards God. So I understand this. And Paul does also talk about doing this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So if that's in the New Testament, would that be, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but would they need to be covering their heads?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love you guys, and I will see you guys on the road. Enjoy the number 100th episode with my good friends, the Christian Avengers.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Sometimes I would just be like, hey, guys, I don't know. I'm so sorry. Let's wait. And some kid goes, no disrespect, George. You didn't answer my question. So Cliff, and then Cliff goes, hey, none of that. He goes, focus it here. And I was like, oh, look at him. He's protecting me. No. I found that very, very nice. You're my brothers, my little brothers.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Younger brothers. Now give me a kiss. All right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Thank you. Oh, I feel so worthy. You know, I find it so funny that you two got yelled at for your earrings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think that's how God blesses you. He gives you wisdom to do it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Also, just to go back to Belle. Belle, there's a reason why you're my wife. When I speak to you, you are so profound at times. And you're so sharp and you're so gentle. You're everything that I needed. When people congratulate me for what I'm going through, they're congratulating us. Because I would not be what I'd be able to do without you at all. It would be impossible.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Where are we at with the praying with the saints thing, dude? Because we never really wrapped up on that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Okay, let's dive a little deeper with that. Which, by the way, I immensely agree with you. And the fact that you pulled up a scripture and said that, bravo. That was beautifully said. Let's dive even deeper. But what about the ones that said, but Peter is our rock.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
and that there's passed on rocks, and they're allowed to tie different teachings and make it so that we could go in a different way or speak a different way or fast in a different way because he was given the keys to the kingdom. What about the ones who believe that it's not just the Bible, that there's more above the Bible, and that man would be sitting here preaching through the church?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's so cute watching such an innocent, cute face just get into it, and then he gets back and is like, you're adorable. But okay, let's dive in deeper. What about the men and women that say, okay, well, that was our pope.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I'll tell you why. We laugh about it, but I have so many brothers and sisters that are completely lost because of it. And they rather fear the man that's on the pulpit rather than fear the word of God. And so I have a lot of brothers and sisters that I deeply weep and ask God to wake them up because I will bring them Bible verses.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They'll read the Bible verses and reject it because the man on the pulpit is teaching them a certain thing. And so we can laugh about it, but their salvation is on the line.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. I was answering questions before I got ditched by Cliff yesterday at the college campus, which, by the way, is my first time ever doing this thing. And I'm sitting here. I'm like, oh, I'm going to learn from my mentor. This is amazing. And he just pats me on the back. He's like, you got this. And he just starts a new crowd. And I was like, oh, Holy Spirit, I need you now more than ever.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I'm like, all right, that's a little bit much. Don't want to do that. But when they take the Eucharist, or when they take this, and they truly believe that it is actually his body and his blood, to me, that's a big no-no.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So they believe that it is actually his body.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To me, it's like, isn't that... Isn't that blasphemy? Isn't that like idolatry at a whole different level when you're worshiping something? And I'm not trying to be disrespectful. Again, I'm just learning. And I'm going to clarify this because I don't want people to get upset with me or get angry with me. If I'm wrong, instead of getting angry with me, pray for me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because if I'm wrong, I would love to learn and then come back. You know I would sit on this podcast and be like, guys, I was an idiot. I was super wrong. This is the reason why. But I need somebody to come with biblical terms and show me in the gospel because as of right now, We're just taking dirt and worshiping it as if it's our presence of God. And I just, I can't wrap my head around that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I can't wrap my head that like if the piece of bread falls to the ground, legitimately hell breaks loose in that church and they bow and pick it up with their mouth and they treat it like it is actually my God that's in that bread. I can't get behind that. Now, if any man has a scripture and says, no, this is exactly why I will bow my head And I will bite my tongue.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm never trying to go against God. But I think little movements like this could set a trajectory to move a man away from God. That's why I fight for it so hard. It's because I truly have brothers and sisters that sat with me in the pew. But they no longer see God as God anymore because they weren't nourished the way they should have been nourished.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They were taught to fear the wrong things and to practice the wrong things. So when they were biblically sound, they were lost. But again, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'd rather now talk about the hard things that nobody wants to talk about before we all die and we're in front of the kings.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then I'm going to be sitting in God's presence and God goes, I put it in your heart to talk about it and you ran away from it. I'd rather die today. I'd rather die today. I respect that. Sorry I got passionate, it's just that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But he taught me this beautiful move. If there's a question that I do not know, I think sometimes because we love Jesus so much that we were like, let's force a question. But I watched how powerful it is when he goes, I do not know. And it also validates all of the other questions that he answered because he's like, wow, okay, well, if he didn't know, then he wouldn't have answered.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You're going to get clipped. All right, let's bring it back in a respectful way, because that was super respectful, and I don't want to come off disrespectful, but let me give you my point of view that I've been learning from my mentor, Robert. He told me that the last supper was just a foreshadow of Passover. That before when they did the lamb, he is now the new lamb.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So from this day forward, instead of remembering these days and celebrating it, you shall break bread and drink and remember this lamb that has been sacrificed. Then I go to the chapter in Acts where they bring up church for the first time. Nobody went around the bread and the wine as if it was the body and the blood of Christ, but it was more of a celebration for what our God just did.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I learned a lot from you as well yesterday. It was amazing. But there was one question and I answered it. And I don't know if I answered it appropriately. So I want to kind of hang myself up to dry. And also try to correct myself and make sure that I am able to answer this. The girl says that in the Bible, it says that we are already perfected and it's done.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Absolutely. So how do I get this in a biblical sense? And then Cliff, I wanted to ask you this. Where's the line? Where do we stick to the Bible but also listen? Because it is good to listen to somebody. But is there stuff that isn't written in the Bible that we should be listening to popes or bishops or people that have passed down knowledge
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
because the pass down of teachings, it was by word of mouth. So I can't knock them for that. Where's the line? And what point could a man lose his salvation if he goes in the route that he's going?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What is the difference of like, okay, can a man have more teachings than the gospel? So should there be things that are not in the gospel? Or is the gospel perfect from cover to cover? This is my way to Christ. This gospel will teach me and help me with my salvation. Or is it a man and the Bible?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like how Jesus was. Because that's what they believe. She had no sin.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And she goes, so then why do I need to ask for forgiveness every time I sin if it's perfected moving forward? All of my sins. Doesn't that mean that I'm not acknowledging that it's already perfected? And I was like, that is such a beautiful phrase. And I told her, I was like, I'm not really sure.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Well said. Don't be quarrelsome. I think it's better to just, I'm learning this, it's better for me to just preach by my actions and just keep moving forward. And then if we disagree, I express what I know, and I just leave it at that. I'm not going to drag them the same way that my God didn't drag me. I think I came to the conclusions and thoughts that I had because he loved me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And because he loved me, he gave me freedom of like, okay, let me search for you. Like hidden treasure, and I will try to find it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just know that if I do sin, even though I did sin, I go, I just find it to be kind for me to ask for forgiveness. I know that my father's always gonna cover the bill when I'm at the table, but it's still kind for me to say thank you for it. When somebody does something or if I do something wrong, regardless if it's forgiven, I think it's appropriate for me to ask for forgiveness.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah. Amen. Humbling is like the biggest turning point in a thing. My father once said to me, before he said this to me, I was analyzing how my friends were treating their fathers and how their fathers were treating their kids. This is a huge thing. This is what causes the country to be different. It's just this small thing in a home.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
A lot of people think it's the country, this is the government, it's the schooling system, it's the home. You fix the home, you fix the country. And my father once looked at me and I realized the dynamic between son and father, right? It's pride. I want to do so well for my dad that one day, this is crazy. The man wants to be like either equal with the dad or greater than the dad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then the dad doesn't want to feel like useless anymore because he's taught his son. And so his ego is like, no, no, no, I'm still active. I'm still this. And one day we were at the bar and And my dad looks at me, he goes, man, look at you at the age you're at. You're already greater than me. And I said, it's impossible.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I'm from your seed, which means if I grow greater, that means you've grown even greater. I come from your foundation. I am the branch that's coming off of you. So you can never look at me as if I'm greater. If I get greater, then put your head up high proud. You are greater. I cannot be a greater. Even in the gospel, it says no man is greater than his master. And I go, I have one master in heaven.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like he's given me one master on earth. I can never be greater than you. And this dynamic was hard for a lot of kids, but I realized that, yo, like children, like, listen, it's not your dad's job to humble himself in front of you. It's your job to humble yourself in front of your father. His job is not to humble himself in front of you. He's greater than you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He needs to be shown that you have so much love that no matter how successful you are, no matter how proud you are, that when you stand before my father or my father I stand before, I bow my head. Not because I'm worshiping him. It's because I honor him. I respect him. But not as much as I choose to honor and respect my father in heaven. There's order to this.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I've looked at my parents and I've said, I love you guys, but I'll never love you more than my God. It's impossible for me to love the gift greater than the gift giver. Since we're already in just deep, hard conversations, let's go deeper. Sorry about this, by the way. Guys, you guys are going to get clipped hard. But you know what? We're in this together. I got smoked out for hell. Like my...
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Depiction of hell. Johnny's like, don't bring this up, bro. Don't be quarrelsome. But these are conversations. The reason I bring them up is because you know this more than anybody, guys. So many people walked away from church and from God because of this aspect. So I just wanted to ask you guys' opinion. What is your perception of hell when it comes to the gospel? Should I go first?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But then I said, also, you could also just change your verbiage in saying, God, please forgive me. You could just change it to, hey, Lord, thank you for forgiving me. So that's how I answered it. How do you guys feel that I answered that? Is that something that's appropriate? How do you feel? I was wishing you were next to me for that part, but what do you think?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I think that... Hell is eternal. The place of hell is eternal. But I read scriptures like, do not be afraid of the man who could destroy the body, but could destroy the body and the soul in hell. And when I read stuff like this, like no root, no branch, no nothing will be in its destruction. So when I see this, I think destruction. If you choose to live away from God, you do not have life.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To me, it's like also Jesus says, eternal life is with me. So how can I have eternal life away from him? These are the thoughts that I have in my head. I'm just a baby Christian. I'm just learning.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then another thing is let's dive even deeper from like an aspect that's not religious from a man who's like, you serve a God that says that you have free will, but it's basically like the same free will that the government gave us about COVID. Like, hey, you don't have to take the vaccine, but if you don't, you can't have your job. You can't go to school. You can't.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, buddy, is that a choice? He's like, you're strong arming me. And to me, it's like, I walked around the neighborhood one day and I was like, God, I don't know if I love you because I'm deeply scared of you or because I actually love you. And that sucks. I wouldn't want her marrying me because of that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I want to clarify that if God even came down right now and said, no, no, no, actually hell is eternal and I'd torture them forever. I'd be like, aye, aye, captain. And I'll knock on everybody's door and let them know about it. I would love if somebody could bring up scripture to correct me. I am not saying that I have the answers, nor do I think that it's right.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Eternal punishment. Eternal punishment. It's finished. It's gone. And if you keep reading, that's the Bible verse in 28 that says, do not be afraid of the man who could destroy the body, but could destroy the body and the soul in hell. So if the body is not there and the soul is not there, then what is left over to be tortured?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But question, don't you think that's a little like... Let's just peel back the curtain. Let's be raw. I don't think God gets mad when we test his words because his words are forever. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It's good to test them because then I'll know if I could break it, then it ain't from God. It's from man. And if I can't, then it's from God. And then I'll worship that word.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
To me, it's like, how could you say that I've given you free will when you didn't give me free will? That's not free will. I have to choose you. I have to, or I'm going to be destroyed forever and always. That's not free will.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But that goes against torturing. The lake of fire is like they're burning forever and always.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just can't wrap my head around, nor do I have the comfortability to preach about a loving God when somebody who is a different denomination than us, and they go, they feed the homeless, they go, they take care of the sick, and because they didn't go through Jesus, which I understand, that's his home. You have to go through Jesus.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
If they don't go through Jesus, they get tortured for a billion years. How could that be anywhere near in an Old Testament version or a New Testament version of our God? People say, God had a wrath. Look, he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Yeah, go read all the times he destroyed. It was like that. He didn't torture anybody.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I agree. I agree 100 percent. But that's not a free choice.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I love that. And again, if he told me that this is how it is, then I'm going with it. But would any of you guys torture somebody for a million years? Any one of you. I think when you say torture... If he created a man, he knows where he's going.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I agree with everything you're saying, but do you think it's forever? Forever.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Do you think it was worth enough for him to be tortured forever?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I just want to be able to clarify who this character that I'm serving is to these people that they think that he's just picking them up and throwing them. Because we can all say what we want, but you know what the atheist is going to say? Your God knew.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This video is sponsored by Daily Wire Plus. And you guys have already heard me speak highly, highly, highly about Dr. Jordan Peterson's The Gospels. This is the next chapter that Dr. Jordan Peterson dives into the Bible, following his groundbreaking work with Genesis and Exodus. But what makes The Gospels super unique is the conversations behind it.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
All right, now to switch sides a little bit. To switch sides, because I always had this movement to pivot. I was with Belle, and I put down weed because I was scared of being tossed into hell. Like I was like, dang, dude, there's going to be a point where God's like, did you choose me or did you choose your wickedness?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so one day I was sitting there and I was like just meditating and I go, God, like I want to stand up for this. Like I want to make sure that they know that their love, that this is not just this old powerful God, like throwing people into hell, throwing people into heaven. That was where my heart was at.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But I did get something in my heart that says, don't focus on that because sometimes maybe they need to fear that. And sometimes they need to fear what they need to fear. And maybe they'll be wise enough to get to where they need to go by doing that. Because to be honest, maybe I myself would have never picked up the Bible if I didn't fear about going to hell forever and never and ever.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I think from this day forward, I am going to take the stance of the wise cliff. I do not know.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
By the way, I do apologize. I know I made harps at people that made those videos about me. I don't care. You can keep making the videos. But I just wanted to apologize to your heart because I don't want you to ever think that I'm representing God the wrong way. I truly want to represent God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And sometimes I have a bad habit of just running to war because I love war and I love to stand up for my God. But in this new chapter of my life, God keeps whispering, the war is not in your hands. Amen. And I think this is one of them that I got to have to put away.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This isn't just a bunch of Christians sitting around and discussing things that they already know. This is a very, very deep and dynamic conversation full of Jewish people's perspective, scientists' perspective, people that doubt the Bible's perspective. This is just all coming together to dissect it in a way that you've probably never heard it before.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Amen. Amen. Yeah. Can I say something? I'm not joking. Ever since like truly just a few minutes ago where I was like, I'm just going to let go of this hell thing. Like I got to like, let go of my pride and just like stick to the gospel. There's so much weight that left off me. So much weight because I'm, I feel like I need to have the answers all the time because I I'm scared. My fear is like,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I don't want to be in front of God's presence and be like, yo, dude, you misstepped here. And that one would scare me because I was like, what if I'm wrong with this one? Or what if I'm right with this one? And I think I just got to be patient to know that I just started and I'm not going to have all the answers.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
and it's okay uh to to tell people that i don't know and i sometimes i feel like if i say that i don't know or if i don't have the answers that i feel like i'm letting them down but most importantly like i'm like a hypocrite or like i don't know my god yeah and so it's a it's a tough thing that's what i'm wrestling with which is actually what i wanted to kind of circle to if you guys are comfortable you don't have to all go but is there anybody wrestling with something right now that they're like i'm beating this up or it's beating me up or this is the thing that i'm wrestling i'm
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like, mine, like I said, is my ego. Like, it always gets in the way of the Holy Spirit. Like, I understand when God says, like, pick up your cross. It's because I have to kill George. Like, George needs to shut up. I need to get out of God's way. And that is making me then prosper in the kingdom rather than trying to worry about things that collect moths and dust and rust. Whoa.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Like Jacob wrestling with God, they wrestle with some questions that you might also wrestle with. Did these events actually happen? What's the history behind all of this? And what does the stories and the gospels and the prophecies, what do they mean to us today in modern times? You can watch the first episode for free right now on Daily Wire Plus.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
This kid yesterday, you asked me in the circle, which is kind of cool because when these kids are asking me a question and I'm telling them the answer, sometimes it helps me out as well. It helps me remember things. It's a very powerful thing. Which, by the way, I did... Six hours with this man. Now I know why he looks like a sports model. Like this guy, my legs were destroyed.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I literally fell asleep as soon as I got in the car and he hit another few hours with people. I was like, I'm leaving you. I'm not staying here. I'm exhausted. But this kid asked me, he goes, how do you let go of the hurt when you fail? Like when you fail... and it's all on you with your family and your wife and all that stuff. He goes, how do you let go of that?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I said, because I don't hold on to the ego of it. I don't hold on to my success. My success comes from God. And if you let that go, when things hit rock bottom or things start getting tough, you're not looking at it as I failed. You're just like, all right, this is where God wants me to be right now. I'm just going to keep going moving forward.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I just wanted to put that out there because that helped me out a lot when that kid asked me. But yeah, is anybody wanting to speak up about something that they're like, They're just finished with God or maybe it's a new chapter with God or... It's a tough question to ask.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
No, no, no. It doesn't have to be a deep, dark secret. It's just something that you just maybe are like, wow, I got out of it and this is how I got out of it or this is something I'm dealing with right now. I feel that when I do this with myself on a podcast, that is usually when people come up to me like, dude, I was dealing with that too.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And it's just kind of putting yourself in front of the bullet so people can also feel like, Oh, I feel like a little bit more comfortable.

The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The thorn or that obstacle that we all dealt with is the reason why we're sitting here. Like, because we let God cook. And Johnny actually told me, he goes, in the fire, you could either burn up or you could be malleable and you could bend to what God wants you to be. And also, I was sitting at your guys' home and you said that your favorite Bible verse is that I am content.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And then I also say, God, thank you for the things that I'm not wise enough to thank you for that are like actively something I should have been thanking you for. And then I also apologize for moves that I don't know that I'm doing that hurts your heart.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And that kept ringing in my ear. I go, why is that such a powerful word? Because they were content in the prison cells and they were content when they had all the glory. So it taught me there. I'm like, okay, right now I'm very successful in my field. But if it not to be, I know I was just as happy flipping burgers at Five Guys because the Holy Spirit made me happy.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
So I could go through these valleys, but still know that my God of creation, of creating joy is with me. That's why at Turning Point, when they asked me, they're like, you know, they're always giving prosperity, prosperity, like joy, joy, peace, joy, peace. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. We can't separate that from God.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You cannot not be happy in the presence of God as in the same way you can't be in the sun and enjoy the sunshine. It's impossible. It's your choice to bring that sunshine on your rainy day or stand on the water when it's there. Being comfortable is very American. We're very, very like, yo, this is great. Because our comfortability is their luxury. You know what I mean? I make jokes all the time.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I go, we all live like kings. Like 100 years ago, if the kings there would realize what the poor people in America are going through, they'd be like, dude, this guy has two phones? How is this even happening? I don't even have one. Like, it's a joke that I always say, but if you could find gratitude in it, you could then take yourself out of depression and out of anxiousness.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's why God says, who could add a minute to their life being anxious? And at the same time, he's explaining, you cannot be anxious and grateful at the same time. So I realized, I was like, wait, wait, wait. Well, I was at the top of my career and depressed, but I was flipping burgers and I was sad.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And God whispered in my heart, not audibly, but he said, he's like, because you were thinking of me. Mm-hmm. When you were flipping that piece of meat that was meaningless to you, you were flipping it, but you were sitting there thinking about them. But when you were up here, you were thinking about yourself.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And so, like, I don't think that we're not going to have trouble, but are we dealing with our trouble ourselves? Or are we like, you're dead. You take this. I don't want to do this at all. Facts. It's really honorable. So beautiful. And by the way, not being comfortable and being the first one to talk.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Because every day, like for example, when I was doing the episode of the Girls Gone Bible, I really don't think that sinning, like it was cussing was like cursing. I thought it was like, if you curse somebody, but then when I really dove into it, I was like, oh, I need to really watch my mouth and clean my mouth. I'm still actively trying to do that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I have one question for you, Cliff, because all of us, if we're obedient to God, we're going to follow in your footsteps of turning so many people to God. I'm not saying it's you. I know it's the Holy Spirit that's working through you, and you're so humble with it, but what are something that stopped you and interfered you with the Holy Spirit? Was it an emotion or was it a practice?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
What was it that you want to warn us about following in your footsteps and preaching the gospel?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
But every day you're learning and you're adapting. But what about the sin that we all know we do willingly? That's the one that we never talk about. That's the one that hurts me the most. Thank God I don't smoke weed anymore. But when I was smoking weed, I knew it was bad, but I would still go into it. I was chained up to this. And sometimes that type of feeling makes you feel like,
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
you don't even want to be in a relationship with God. Not because you don't love him, it's because you're like, you shouldn't even love me. You got nailed to a cross, beat so bad, they didn't even know what gender you were, and yet I can't even put down this J. I know you want me, but I don't feel like I deserve the love that you're giving me.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
You are the Billy Graham of this generation. Amen. Yeah, you really are. It's a beautiful thing that you have your ability to speak. And me and Bell were actually talking about this. We would watch old clips of you speaking at college campuses. Old. Old clips.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
And I was like, there was like four people around you. That's right. Yeah, it was like you had like four or five people around you. And that same clip now has like millions and millions and millions and millions of views. And I just kept thinking like how the Holy Spirit is like, you just wait, man. Like you have no idea. It's not just four kids.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
It's about to be like almost a billion people that watch that clip. And you're doing something great for the kingdom.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
The sin that we purposefully walk into knowing that it's wrong, at what point does he walk away from us for that? Do you get what I'm saying? Like, how could you take all of the mercy but still keep doing it? I just feel like that's spitting in the face of somebody that's your father. Do you guys ever feel this way?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That is beautiful. We had the privilege of meeting his wife. The whole family is just absolutely beautiful. And when we walked out of their home, me and her actually said a prayer together. We're like, God, we have to have a relationship like that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
They do it. You guys put God-centered, and you guys, we could tell, man. Like, it is a beautiful thing. It is really a beautiful thing. And that's so cool. Every man needs a wife to say, come on, Cliff, start. You know what I mean?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Every man needs that. Every man deserves that.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's awesome. If you don't mind, we just talked about his relationship. I know you have a brand-new relationship.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
By the way, gorgeous. This guy looks like a Ken doll. I just walked into my house. I was like, God bless. This is great. She's married, by the way.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
That's beautiful. What would you think that a woman in your footsteps when she's in her single phase, what do you think that she needs to accomplish with God first before even waiting for a man?
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Yeah, amen. Amen. I see the ones that have a really healthy relationship when they give that to God. They're like, you know what, God? I'm done looking. You look. Oh, absolutely. I give it to you. I am a bad chooser. It's so funny. When I met Bell, I just started being obedient, and some dude just walked in and be like, dude, I think I just found your wife. It literally was my wife.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
I didn't earn it. I didn't look out for it. I wasn't at a club bopping my head, drinking with my boys. I just, I got right with God and God was like, okay, now I can give you a gift.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
My friend walked into the room and literally met her before me. And he goes, dude, I think I met your wife. And then our first date, I told her, I was like, I'm going to marry you.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
He goes, you came in kind of strong, dude. Hey, what's given by God can't be taken away, brother.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
We're Assyrian. I mean, I'm so proud to be a Syrian. We speak the language Jesus spoke. So like when we watched the Passion of the Christ, I understood what was going on. It was cool.
The George Janko Show
The Christian Avengers | EP. 100
Aramaic. It's cool. So beautiful. I want to ask you, man, how you doing, bro? Like you just came into this world out of nowhere and started rocking it for the kingdom. What's that like?
