My first exposure to Voddie is when my brother wanted to explain Ephesians 5:22-33 to me. I was the typical modern woman and didnt understand God's design for us. I was hung up on this verse about women submitting to their husbands and what that means. Voddie did a series on this subject and more. He said it doesn't mean "me man, you woman, I say, you do". Thats when he got my attention and through his explain of the Bible, he helped bring me closer to God and accept God's beautiful design for men and women.
Amen!
And hopefully you were able to learn God’s beauty in marriage and submission. I’ve been married 20 yrs and only just learned this within the last 5. Our life was unnecessarily difficult because I thought the world was right.
I did sister, I did. I still struggle with it because like you said, I also believed the "world view". It's also a real struggle because genesis 3 is clear in regards to us women always trying to jockey to get the top position. Run the race!
Americans has lost touch with our historical natural role of man and women. Industrialization modernization dual income household has cultivated our sinful nature to fuller maturity with every passing generation. These familia values were passed down but has lost to cultural and worldly influence. I'm happy for you. God bless.
What a beautiful testimony!
Voddie is one of those guys I appreciate more each time I hear him. A genuine man of God.
A true man of GOD
@@roku89107 no, The devil whispered in this man’s ear about the chosen, he took words and twisted them as the devil did with Jesus… When you have to add reform to your church… You got issues. The Bible does it need anything added to it… And that’s not what the chosen is. It is not to take place of your Bible, they tell you that. What they should tell you wish to take place of the garbage in your life if you watch any sports, TV shows, you go to the movies, even the Christian programming on tv. Matt 24:4-5, 23-26. Col 2:18 his mind is proud saying he’s had visions, he heard this… How about the people that can’t read. I minister to some of them. Col 2:8, 1 Cor 1:12-end. Saying you only follow this or that or only Christ Paul talks about it. Then the philosophers of the world, anybody who’s been to any type of training is that person. That doesn’t make your heart right with God it doesn’t make you a biblical priest. That would be one Peter 2:5, nine, Revelation 1:6, 5:10. 1 Cor 3:1-4, 18-23. Tit 3:9. He has such an influence, and now people are going to watch the chosen because the demon here said God told him not to. What do you actually should’ve said is Romans 14 it’s first 23 be the end of it if you think anything is a sin then it’s a sin for you and it’s a saying if you do it. But it doesn’t make it the same for others. He uses all this philosophy and all this stuff to sound good… And he’s gonna pay a high penalty for that garbage… That would be James 3: one in the app version for him and then anybody that likes to try to correct others the AMPCE
Jesus and Jiu Jitsu! I am a pastor and a black belt in BJJ. I started a jiu jitsu ministry through the church I pastor. I have connected with so many people that I never would have otherwise.
What church? State?
It’s voddie!!!! One of the most gifted preachers of all time!!!!!
after MacArthur :) and R.C
@@frankly129 Voddie is up there with Johnny Mac
@@frankly129 MacArthur is a fantastic expositor and his knowledge is top tier just don’t agree with a lot of his theology. R.C is my favorite of all time hands down.
@@A_Pie323 John is great just can’t be completely accurate being a leaky Dispensationalist.
The bar is set pretty low (ground level) so that's not saying much.
First on Ben Shapiro now The Bee?! Voddie is on a media frenzy 😄
Ben had asked if he had ever met the guys on the Bee in his interview. Had no idea this interview was also planned.
He’s also been on the blaze with Glenn beck and Allie Beth Stuckey
May be Joe Rogan will be next with the BJJ background.
I was thinking the same thing.
Go Voddie!
@@A_Pie323🏃♀️🏃♀️ me running to these channels! 😂
What a mighty God we have for raising a man like Voddie Baucam. Hallelujah Praise the Lord!
As an evangelist and a bjj purple belt, the mats are my mission field.
There are so many parallels between the jiu jitsu journey and walking with the Lord. It naturally opens people up to hearing the gospel.
Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV): Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Could you share a parallel or two?
@chrislabrec5055 Parallel’s between jiu jitsu and following Jesus
I beheld, then, that they all went on till they came to the foot of the Hill Difficulty; at the bottom of which was a spring. There were also in the same place two other ways besides that which came straight from the gate; one turned to the left hand, and the other to the right, at the bottom of the hill; but the narrow way lay right up the hill, and the name of the going up the side of the hill is called Difficulty. Christian now went to the spring, and drank thereof, to refresh himself, and then began to go up the hill, saying-
"The hill, though high, I covet to ascend,
The difficulty will not me offend;
For I perceive the way to life lies here.
Come, pluck up heart, let's neither faint nor fear;
Better, though difficult, the right way to go,
Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe."
Following Jesus most certainly isn’t easy. Jesus tells us as much. The narrow gate: few will find it, less will take it, most won’t make it until the end. In the same way, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn’t easy.
The process of sanctification is just that, a process. This honing and aligning of your morals and values can seem like a roller coaster. The reality is that this process that feels like a lot of ups and downs is actually moving in an upward trajectory.
Everyone starts the process of sanctification in the same place, with a regenerate heart. But the process from there may look very different for a Muslim convert than it does for a convicted rapist.
In much the same way, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a long and arduous process filled with daily successes and failures. Your training will be affected by the circumstances of life. Your dedication can vary depending upon the season. Time, family commitment, and injury will all play a role. Some days, you may wonder why you keep coming back. Other days, you feel unbeatable.
A collegiate or high school wrestler is going to start from a different place than a middle-aged hobbyist (like me). We are on the same journey. Headed to the same destination but will get there by differing means using the methods and gifts that each of us has been given.
Matthew 7: 13-14
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Matthew 13:18-23
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.[b] 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
Community and discipleship is another place where Jiu Jitsu and Christianity overlap. The gym often looks a lot like the church in that it is a collective effort that produces individual growth. As much as the church is diverse, the jiu jitsu school is very much the same. People from all walks of life coming together under a collective desire for mastery over the art. Professors ((black belts) ministers of the gospel) pouring into the group. Brown belts/purple belts(deacons/elders) working individually with people to help them grow in the sport (faith). Blue belts giving tips and instruction to white belts (new converts). White belts sharing the gospel of jiu jitsu with the guy taking the free trial class (open non-believer) These roles not being exclusive but, you get my drift.
I think it’s important to note that there is one big difference that does not run parallel between these two things. It’s the thing that separates the gospel of Jesus Christ from every other religion and worldly pursuit.
Jiu Jitsu is very much a culture of self-achievement. Just like Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and secular humanism. It’s about works based success. Following Christ is not.
I’ve found that sharing all of these similarities is the perfect segway into talking about the unique nature of Christ and the upside down Kingdom He calls us into.
I hope I got close to providing the answer you were looking for.
God’s blessings to you and yours!
@@chrislabrec intentionality, humility, discipline are a few parallels off the top of my head.
Man, i hope you read it and reply cuz we share the same experience!
Dude, i also have my mat (muay thai in case) as my mission field. I went there with a specific calling from the LORD, a very strong and later confirmed conviction that God wanted me to get in there to lead a person there to Him (that was in the beginning of june last year). This person became a very dear friend of mine and i'm still trying to reach him. I little later another guy showed up, as i started to befriend this new one, he showed himself to be a danger to my spiritual health so i decided not to befriend him, but of course treat him with civility and "friendliness".
The first one is still an unbeliever (and often seems he's not gonna be saved), and the new one, that i didn't befriend and deemed too dangerous to my spiritual health (talked so much about sex to me that incited temptations in me) is pretty much one step away from salvation, understood the gospel, is ashamed of his sins, afraid that there's no more forgiveness (i always tell him when he brings that up, that half the new testament was written by a guy who used to hunt down and kill christians, but is in heaven and there was forgiveness to him. All he needs to do s repent of his sins and turn to Jesus), but he wants to make sure what i'm telling him is true, so i recommended him to watch "the case for christ" and he was eager to watch (one of the very few christian movies that is good, highly reccomend). Sadly, tomorrow august 9th 2023, is gonna be the last time i'll see him and i hope he watches the movie till then and is ready to repent next time i see him. I worry about the one i did befriend cuz he seems to be further and further away, however God showed me clearly i still have work in his life, so it gave me hope.
Amen brother, thats awesome and encourages me too, (also a purple belt)
Jiu Jitsu is amazing for the spirit, physical, mental, and building friendships 💯
BJJ instructor here, been thinking for a while that missionaries should learn BJJ, great to hear Voddie is involved in the sport.

Wish churches would teach martial arts to their congregation
@@JC-cv3up Great Sunday night activity!
It is so long the video. What did he talk about BJJ? I'm brazilian and curious about that talk.
Amazing! Thanks so much Babylon Bee for having the incredible Dr. Voddie Baucham on! My absolute favorite theologian and pastor/sermon giver everrr
Voddie is the reason we homeschool...we roll also...pray that we stay humble and are so thankful for Abba provision. So very thankful for Voddie and for bjj.
Voddie is such a leader to many Christians. He’s taught me so much about how to raise my son Biblically. Wish we had more men like him ❤
Answer to Maximus-duh-
There’s a reason that God put people like Paul, Moses, Eli and Deborah in place as examples, leaders and teachers for the people.
I understand your admiration for Voddie, but such is incorrect. All have come short of the glory of God. The name of Jesus is the only worthy of praise. To say what you are saying draws away from that fundamental principle.
Calvinist leader, not christian leader
I think you guys are taking what I said a little out of context. I was just complimenting Voddie. I don’t have my dad around and he helped me with some Godly men related things for my son. I never said he was above Jesus. It feels like you guys may have taken that too far. Christ is above all to me. Just was complimenting Voddie. Men don’t lead anymore and Voddie still does. He’s a good man to look at for young men. Which I have a son. That’s all.
And for the person who brought up Calvinist-- Voddie preaches the Word. That’s all that matters.
@@jonathanneves3459 I see what you are saying, but I was just complimenting Voddie. Nothing more. I don’t worship Voddie… just Christ alone. It’s not Voddie’s word over Christ Word.
I’ve always loved Rev. Baucham. His teaching has been such a blessing to us through the years.
Voddie is awesome. Powerful and anointed.
This single person has helped me change so much in life. Thank you for this podcast and having Voodie ❤
Voddie Baucham is my favorite modern-day preacher! ❤️
My favorite pastor. ❤ Great interview. Thankful for him!
I found Pastor Voddie through following Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church and I still follow everything I can that Voddie is on.
His opinion how everybody should experience one of those “pride” parades was spot on and I had to comment. I’ve never experienced and don’t really want to but I agree with what he was saying on the debauchary and depravity with “those people” can I say those people.
Calvinists love pointing at others, like the pharisees. The true God of the Bible loves everyone and died for ALL.
Voddie is an excellent preacher. I’m just finishing his book “fault lines”. Good reading.
This is a big deal! Love Voddie's wisdom & biblical discernment ❤
And false teachings of calvinism....
@@rocketsurgeon1746Have fun with your will that's free from God.
@@bobbie4862 how is free will free from God?
Judo for Jesus.
Would that be Jew Jitsu?
Judo and jiu-jitsu are totally different.
@@kpmack0914ayoooooooo
Fault Lines was an amazing book
Zambian here. Thanks for your work here
Thank you brothers, what a treat!🙏🏾❤️
Wow, I just watched an interview of him with Ben Shapiro, and then it led me to this channel. So good to see Pastor Baucham in these interviews. I loved his recent book 'Fault lines'. Highly recommend to you all.
Wish I could thumbs up a hundred times. Thank you. Love Voddie! A well conducted interview.
Who made Sunday the “Sabbath”? God? No, the Catholic Church. Sunday is NOT the Sabbath, according to God. Saturday is. Sola scriptura. Pagan (human) tradition < God’s Word.
I’ve thought about that and I don’t know the answer besides we have a day that we recognize and try and keep Holy
Voddie does BJJ?!? As a purple belt Christian this is the cross over I never saw coming!!
he has been training for a while :)
Paul Washer got a lot of his kids into martial arts too.
Got for him!
I absolutely love Pastor Voddie Bauchum…I thank God for his life and ministry!!! Thank you for inviting him into the Hive…he’s a true Gift from our God!!!🙏✝️💜
We saw Voddie in-person before he collapsed. Thank God he is better!
Love love love Voddie! So glad y’all interviewed him!
Great talk about Jiu Jitsu and the perspective you guys have,
I didn’t know y’all had a podcast but I tend to follow Voddie around best I can and here we are. This is freaking awesome. Two worlds collide. Let’s goo
Love Voddie! He is a faithful servant of our Lord! FINALLY!! and decent, respectful (of the Gospel) interview from the Babylon Bee!
Took me over 12 years to get my blackbelt. Carlson Gracie Jr. I got it at 49 years old.
Love Mr Baucham!! My favorite pastor/teacher/mentor... I wish I could meet him in person one day, so I can thank him for his obedience to God.
The BJJ-Part starts here 8:17
Great Man of GOD..
I’ve learnt so much from Voddie.. and still continue to…
being a black belt in Gracie jiu-jitsu myself learning that he has a passion for the Art is great to hear..
Praise The LORD!!
God bless you and your family Voddie!
Voddie is the principle source of discipleship for me.
At 46:38 Voddie mentions "2nd commandment violation" to explain the 2CV comment, though it's hard to hear between the other comments.. fascinating take on the Chosen. I wonder what Christ would think of the Chosen.
Thanks for explaining “2CV”. I’ve resisted “The Chosen” from the beginning because something bothered my spirit about this program. But I try to understand why my spirit as a Believer resists anything so I watched most of Episode 1, Season 3; then I understood. It is historically and biblically incorrect on many things and Jesus is represented strangely. It does not please the Holy Spirit.
thank you for explaining that - I heard him say something like "too CV" and couldn't figure out what he meant. I hoped somebody would explain that comment - greatly appreciated!
Ever since I left Calvinism, Ive had so much more joy in my christianity. So now I can't wait to watch the Chosen since Voddie said not to. I bet it's gonna be awesome!!! 2cv...haha. These dudes are still under the law and speaking in code about it thinking they're cool. Now all of their worshipers are gonna walk around saying it haha.
I didn't know I could enjoy Voddie any more, then I find out he is a BJJ practitioner!! How cool is that! Thanks for the interview.
God bless VB and BB
C'mon man, everyone knows you hit chest on Mondays! In all seriousness, I'm late to being introduced to Voddie Baucham but each time I hear him speak I am more impressed.
"Real friendship can handle that." ❤
Thank you for this interview
You guys received much grace over the part where you brought up the mormons and The Chosen.
God bless you Voddie 🙏
Thanks for bringing it to us. Please, bring more of keynote possibilities to a good design 🙏
Voddie is one of the best going around today
Love this interview and the challenges it presented with the interviewers and their ideas and implied what's funny issues ...😊over all this went very well and the Babylon Bee usually does not get my attention but here I learned a lot from all of you.
Blessings to you all
Romans 15:13
Be blessed my brother , you are a Lamb among wolves.
Love from Zambia🇿🇲
Good on Dr.Baucham for not biting the hook on the Calvinism issue.
The sound of bachman's voice, reminds me of a Moses type of character. Very endearing sound of voice.
Dr Baucham im a charismatic and i love the teaching on brokenness! Excellent THANKS FOR. i shared the brokenness teaching with other charismatic people and now i find out calvanism is a problem with people i love JESUS MIGHTY SAVIOUR
Congrats on your purple belt brother Voddie! Oss and God bless you!
I like his analogy of the Olympics
Christ and bjj, 2 of my favorite things! Love it
OH GUYS!!!!! This was sooooo cool and great!!!!
Extremely based man
BJJ is a gift from God. I'm glad Voddie sees that.
I just took BB off my subscribe list. Now I have to put it back on.
I'm concerned about their support of the choosen it was good to hear voddie has his line about that
@@jenniferherb5212 That is concerning. They are very “now.” They are young and immature. I’m amazed at the cultural and historical things they don’t grasp. They need guidance from someone with maturity and experience.
Hmmmm, right up to the point I heard Calvinist. I am Wesleyan, however, I can appreciate Voddie, but stay true to my faith, where I am with the tools in My hand too. Grace and Peace to all.
Loved this.
Vodie is the type of guy that I wish he was my neighbor. I'd grill him a really nice meal and pick his brain about the gospel.
Love Voddie❤️
I know it's just a video title... but I'm getting ready to head back to BJJ tonight after having not gone all summer due to my son's baseball games.
I'm going to be so tired, I'll probably feel like I'm close to being "called home" tonight lol
Edit: Oh! Voddie actually does BJJ! That's even better lol
I'd recommend anyone who is physically capable to try it.
I've had 2 back surgeries, so I was really nervous to do it, but my back has held up fine and actually feels better when I'm going regularly (other than a time or two I've tweaked it, and those were doing judo throws, not the on the ground stuff). I think it's probably because I'm gaining flexibility and moving more, and strengthening my core when I'm working.
This was perfect timing to watch today. Feel even more excited to go now lol
I do TKD.. Many nights I don't want to go, tired, sore, busy.. But! After I push myself to go, I NEVER regret it, and always feel great afterwards!
“BJJ is the only non-spiritual martial art” whatever helps you sleep at night, guys
I love Voddie and I love BJJ
Voddie is a gift from God.
I'm impressed Pastor Voddie 😊 glad to know there's martial arts ...professor..not sensei. I wish you could visit South Africa please..God willing. We need a strong 💪 mentor for young men to look up to here. The youth are lost and they need Christian men to influence their lives. God bless you and your family.
He lives in Africa
Sensei means teacher... which is part of the 5 fold ministry.
There is an entire generation of evans that have not read “Knowing God” by JI Packer. Voddie probably has and this may lead to not being able to get behind “The Chosen.” That book, “Knowing God,” is a must. Great interview BTW
God loves Voddie!💋⚔️🕊
Voddie was in Bakersfield!! I would have love to have been there. There are some great churches in Bakersfield.
"Though God would slay me, yet, I WILL PRAISE HIS NAME".!.!.!.!
In the past month I've learned that Voddie, Craig Groeschel and Matt Chandler train or have trained BJJ. 🤙🔥
AMEN
I had no idea Voddie practiced jiu jitsu. I first came across him when watching the Uncle Tom documentaries (which I thoroughly recommend), but it's great to see his appreciation for BJJ as well 🥋🙏🏼🔥💪🏽
Voddie is in my top 5!
Who are the other 4? 😅
My top 3- with Doug Wilson and James White
@@frankly129 I'm not Daniel but my other four are; Paul Washer, Tim keller, Mike Winger and Jon Courson
Thank god for Jesus
It is true only sometimes that Bunyanni (plural of "Bunyannis"), and people generally, are so thankful.
Gotta love Voddie.
The title of this is epic!
Voddie Baucham is obviously being used in wonderful way by God. Calvinists and I don't agree theologically on everything, but do agree on most. So. Cal. is lucky in August to have Voddie, Amir Tsarfati, and Of Course Jack Hibbs all doing amazing work! They are VERY blessed!
Sounds like a good month to visit So Cal if you have to get to
@@decil2156
I'm watching "Happening Now" in Jack Hibbs Church with Amir Tsarfati in Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. It's on utube and very good if you feel like watching... It will probably be rebroadcast on the "Real Life with Jack Hibbs" utube channel. Keep God first, and your powder dry my friend!
This is good
where i train three of our highest belts are preachers and many of our practitioners are Christian
I so want William "the Kalam" Craig be on this show. But Paul Copan with the babylon bee team is gonna break the internet. 😌😌
I just found out that Voddie does BJJ and I literally threw my hands up in the air and screamed out of excitement!!! I love that people out there have connected BJJ and Christ 🎉❤ Praise the Lord! Ahhhh so excited 😊
Appreciate Dr Bacham. Thanks
Dr Bauchum
Baucham. Third try. Just wish I could claim it was spellcheck 😎
Just got to Lusaka, i might as well find the gym
I would say also that Anchorage, Alaska would be the second most diverse city in America as well.
My love for Voddie just got stronger👍 I started BJJ in 2012 as well wish to meet Voddie
I lived in Lusaka for a semester. Its very ethnically diverse. They have 72 different ethnicities there. Njanja, Bemba, etc
I used to do taekwondo at a place called "kids kicking for Christ"
❤🙏
voddie is everywhere these days
I'm a third-culture guy. Thanks for the terminology.
third culture kid here too!!! Our numbers are growing by the day, hah
I like the Dr.
Jared, what church do you go to? You seem like a Calvary Chapel guy. Am I right? Not asking for specific location but just denomination.
👍👍
I’m from south Cali, where do you guys train jiujitsu at?
