Was Freedom a Mistake? | EP.67 | Ninjas Are Butterflies

[@LobsterChops417]

Man this week conversation is fire. Gave me chills in certain area, but honestly I wish more people would talk about everything is related back to God. Crushed this episode

[@azariahshepard]

I love how Lily always brings the silliness back to a biblical worldview

[@illuminationspencer8673]

Andrew, the cut to the 4 shot when everyone said cardiologist was so DOPE. Keep up the awesome editing work 👏🏻👏🏻

[@EMpowered_in_CHRIST]

Seriously, Andrew is the man!

[@rexlandismusic]

The perfect podcast to listen to while trying to find the lamp portal so I can get back to my lamp dream family

[@beckyreed4450]

Dang, you too I am trying to get back and watch a podcast called Owl are Aliens but is not real

[@Fivedollarhug]

Deadbeat dad disappeared one night after turning on the lamp...? Bed got cold, I moved on.

[@edwardsmith3817]

Your short videos got me in the door, and Andy’s Jorts sat me down and gave me a watermelon Red Bull. This podcast has legitimately made my life better and I thank you all!

[@ItsFreshItsAnne]

Yeaaahhh!! My people! Thank you guys SO MUCH for showing up and giving us all something fantastic to look forward to every Friday!! 👏 ♥️

[@joewhite5852]

Biggest lol was Corn dog saying “it was an accident!” To Josh kissing a Mormon.

[@JessicaMariaWagers]

CRAZY STORY! We just left "Praise in the Park", put on by our church. We tripped over a water bottle covered in Sunday Cool stickers. I freaked out because this is my family's FAVORITE podcast (we just discovered you a few weeks ago). I held it up and started yelling, "Who's water bottle is this?!?" My friend Olivia says it's Davey's (her son's). I start telling her how much we love the podcast and how we listen to it everyday .. and she tells us that Cory (her husband) was on it!!!!!! WHAT?!? Long story short.l ... He's our buddy .... We go to church together....our kids terrorize the Little's youth together every Sunday😅.... And we're tagging along the next time he comes down😂! WE LOVE NINJAS ARE BUTTERFLIES

[@docd_holliday9812]

Once again, it was my pleasure. Thanks for having me.

[@EMpowered_in_CHRIST]

I am so thankful that you guys talk about God and dive into deep conversations on His Word and how Good He is! Im currently listening to evedy episode while i work each day and it helps the day go by so much quicker!

[@pmgxmack]

"you did that with me right?" "I did" *andy smirks* wholesome as dafuq🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@kyleballentine1544]

Cory was the one who told me about NAB while he was tattooing me back in September. I threw on an ep on my 2 hour drive home and have been a most faithful listener ever since. Really cool full circle moment to see him on here. Great ep🔥💯

[@Fivedollarhug]

Oooh I want Cory to do me.

[@thehunters8044]

I love you guys!!! you make me smile and laugh so much I have an inoperable brain tumor and your show makes doctors visit and treatment days so much better ❤ THANK YOU

[@magenhubbard216]

One of my favorite lines in music is" so what did you do those three days you were dead" " Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after" I am 34 and NEVER have heard that story until today, from this guy. 😮 I'm shook.

[@Beanturttle]

I loved hearing them talk about lucid dreaming. That’s happened to me. I lived a life and when I woke up and realized it was a dream I cried. It was sad and hard to process for while. It did feel like the people had died.

[@junkieelovee666]

I love Andrew's Sterling hoodie

[@steveking6683]

Love this podcast and that they speak about Jesus so freely

[@DerkJester]

Lucid dreams: (long story) Once in a while I have them myself. I actually have a whole town that I’m transported to that is modeled after a place local to me. One thing I heard about and have tried it myself is to: ‘ask someone what the date is.’ Be prepared… I once asked a friend in my dream the date and he turned to me with a stern look and said, “You’re not supposed to ask that.” He repeated this multiple times and each time his voice grew deeper and deeper into a growl. The last time he said it, it sounded like how demons are described as hundreds of voices screaming and growling all saying the same thing. Honestly, it scared me greatly but I also knew it was a dream. I looked at him and chuckled saying, “Alright man, whatever.” I then proceeded to walk down the hallway we were in. Three steps later I hear a thud and all goes black. I wake up, no high pulse or sweat as it didn’t bother me in my dream. But since then I’ve been back a couple of times. The first time back I was unable to speak, maybe to guarantee I wouldn’t ask that again. My friend has been gone every time, was he banished or removed from my subconscious?

[@AFoxInFlames]

I do sometimes, I'll all the sudden become aware of the weirdness, kinda like Inception lol, and then as long as I just go with whatever is going on, I can enjoy it and make little tweaks, lead it in one direction or the other but sometimes it just wakes me up. More then not I'm able to stay in the dream, so it's not exact lucid because if I change too much, just like Inception I'm aware this sounds like a movie but they captured the nature of dr3ams so well, if I change too much I'll definitely wake up, go with the weirdness if you become aware and you can kinda have a front row seat into your subconscious.❤

[@slikx5965]

WHOA that touches close to home.

Shout out to Cory!! Fellow Indiana listener here 🙋‍♀️ I live about 40 mins south of Bloomington soooo we're basically like neighbors 😂 woot woot! I really enjoyed this episode!!

The intense eye contact between Andy and Josh when they're free styling a song is stage 5 work-wifey and it's what I come here for

[@brettrunzo4796]

I like the constant eye contact between Andy and Lil 😂

[@adriennepyle7625]

There's a true story of a man who was in prison and his cell mate always went to sleep and woke up at the same time everyday for years. He finally told him his story. It's nuts. He never actually sleeps. For him, when he lays down, he wakes in this other life where he is a white man with a family. On this side he's an older black man in prison. The whole story is fascinating. He said it started on his first day in prison, and he was a small child on that other side. So he grew up, did the whole school, dating, marriage, jobs, kids thing. As this other man. Was very mentally stable. Just said he eventually had to roll with it. He maintains his complete other self and memories when he's on this other side. I don't even know at this point. I mean, God can do anything. Maybe there really are multiple dimensions with alternate timeliness. Who knows. It's all so fascinating.

[@dudsbarbde9116]

Sounds more like a guy in prison with a lot of time had to find a way of dealing with it. Kind of like the situation in the movie Shutter Island.

[@brightbkh07]

I started seeing the shorts and always intrigued by the interesting topics. Then I realized this was a whole podcast and I could listen to the rest of the stories I saw in the shorts. Definitely my new favorite podcast and to find out that this is a Christian company and group is the icing on the cake! Awesome people and awesome conversations! Keep it up y’all!

[@Hunter_Edwards]

I look forward to this podcast every single Friday! Thanks guys!

This is my favorite podcast and I say this out of love but I think the question of the day should be a real question and you guys answer it genuinely

[@KevinSimpson031]

Hey there from South Africa! 🇿🇦 Just wanted to share a cool fact about that tornado a few months back near Durban in Inanda. In our Zulu folklore, we call tornadoes "inkanyamba," and believe it's a spirit snake residing in bodies of water like dams. Picture this: it's got a feather on its head and moves around as the spinning vortex we see as a tornado. Crazy, right? And it's massive! Stories say it varies in size, but when it passes through forests, trees apparently get moved. 🌪🐍✨

[@elizahepner-ray]

I'm throwing it out there, the Besos clock is the time traveling machine.

[@10_Percent_For_The_Big_Guy]

Josh, the deadliest tornado in recorded history is considered to be the one that struck Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. This is one of the countries where, along with the United States and Canada, tornadoes occur quite often. The storm took the lives of 1,300 people and injured 12,000 people.

I am one of your “Mormon” Ladder Day Saint Listeners living here in Utah. Served a 2 year mission in Sydney, Australia when I was 19-21 years old. Currently 34 living the dad life but was a touring musician living in Huntington Beach CA in my 20’s. Would love to have any conversations or debates with you dudes (and lily). Love the pod, it’s in my top 5 and would love to chop it up if you all have any questions or would like to see any topics through a normal god loving guy with a Mormon lens! Keep it up my brothers! (And lily) 😄

Dude that UFO lamp is awesome!!!

[@Ruthann22]

Regarding the lucid dreams, people who have had them and encountered spirits there (demons) have agreed that if you are fearful and try to run away, they will run after you and torment you. But if you do not fear them, and stand your ground, they will be neutralized. And, of course, if you invoke the name of Jesus, you will most likely wake up. The same goes for sleep paralysis. Call on Jesus’ name and demons always flee.

[@EMpowered_in_CHRIST]

Oh man I have experienced some seriously demonic nightmares in the last year or so and it goes exactly as you explained. I have been chased by zombie-like creaturs and the dreams feel so real. I am so thankful though, because I was aware of my authority in Christ and in the midst of being attacked I was able to yell " In The Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth, All evil must flee," and the evil would leave. Ive also been able to finally realize I'm dreaming although they feel so real, and I would begin to jolt myself in my dream to wake myself up. Its so scary but i know the enemy sends these nightmares to attack me when I'm sleeping because I'm more vulberable, but I Thank God that He has instilled Discernment in me to the point that i know how to combat the evil in my dreams. I can imagine that if I didnt have a relationship with Jesus Christ that the dreams would be even worse because I wouldn't be able to overcome the demonic attacks on my own volition, or even know what I need to do. Ive experienced sleep paralysis ever since I was little and it got more intense as i got older, especially once I became saved in Christ. A pastor prayed over me to be delivered from it but it came back eventually. The more recent experiences have been so bad but so obvious its demonic because it makes me feel like I'm dying and I would feel so powerless that I would begin to think I couldnt get out of it. Thankfully i havent had it in a while and I praise God for that! I continue to pray for The Lord to protect me as i sleep and gaurd my room. But knowing that others have had the same experiences encourages me to know that I can overcome anything by The Power of Jesus Christ working within me. ❤

[@Ruthann22]

Last year I went to a rave type of Halloween costume party. Come to find out I was a day early and they were still setting up for it. Because I wanted to have an awesome good time and I've been at this location for their Halloween parties before I took about a half ounce maybe a little bit more of shrooms. Now they were probably the best rooms that I've ever had and I've done a lot of shrooms over time. Things were kind of off this year in that they took Earth movers and Doug a giant pit from the back patio out about 100-150 ft there was two levels one was a smaller level with some type of a fire pit that had a steel great over the top or a cap that had engravings in it that glowed Orange from the fire and then the main page which was about 8 ft down from that. They were like four figures around that fire pit off in the distance I was on the back patio looking at the DJ equipment and talking to a couple of not from Town DJ's and where they were from I had no idea but it was someplace underground I'm sure deep underground. They reminded me of on Star wars in the bar the two hooded figures that seemed to like almost have telekinesis that's what kind of gibberish these guys are always putting their heads together and whispering with each other getting ideas and bouncing off each other. All the sudden the guy turns to me and said I like karaoke and I was like hey I like karaoke too and then he jumps down in the pit with a mic and the music starts up its kind of German techno kind of beat and at first I thought that it was German he was singing and then I realized it was some kind of demonic what language and then the other guy flips on the laser light show and I'm talking like a Hollywood level laser light show and the whole pit and beyond in the backfield it turns into Satan's parlor with a giant podium and pillars and all that. It almost was as if this guy was casting a summoning spell. I backed out remind you I wasn't having any kind of serious hallucinations yet that I normally have on a mushroom trip even though it had been an hour. So I take off down the road on a mountain bike because I'm not that far away maybe four or five blocks and as soon as I leave there the temperature drops like 20° and it feels like my bike is riding through water or sand like I'm underwater and out of nowhere 6 flying caped hooded no leg heaven Leatherface sunken in eyes but they're red look like a pirate's flag all ripped in their flying around me in circles trying to scare me but I figured if they could get me they would have already gotten me so I wasn't that scared however they did follow me for quite some ways making me stop by the church that I attend which happens to be on the way and at that point they disappeared. The rest of the night I had no intense visuals but very serious mental hallucinatory thoughts like in the future like I was in the future. Come to find out which I didn't actually for a couple months later but that rave I was going to attend was actually a Satan's ball that was going to be going on across the street at the fairgrounds also! Of course I didn't go to the following night I was too tripped out over the whole thing. I Google the description with the red eyes and sure as shit numerous drawings of the same demons.

[@ritujapatil834]

I used to have the most terrifying sleep paralysis episodes ,a few months ago I started believing in Jesus Christ and I called God when I was having an episode and was able to wake up. It’s the only time I could do that ! After a few days I cried to God and prayed till 3 am asking for something , went to sleep, had my very first absolutely beautiful lucid dream experience and when I woke up what I’d cried and prayed for came true x 1000 . It’s like I’d asked for a leaf and he gave me a whole forest! Hallelujah!
