Wisdom. The Bible defines wisdom in Proverbs 3:13-15 as, “Blessed are those that find wisdom, those that gain understanding. For she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns that fine gold. She is more precious than rubies and nothing you desire can compare with her."

I would say that the wisest thing a person can do is to seek MORE WISDOM… or in other words, “The first rule of wisdom is to seek more wisdom.” Amen!

Well, that is exactly what our guest today has done….

Dr. Laura Gabayan is a world-renowned physician and researcher. Regarded internationally as an expert in the field of research, she has published dozens of papers cited by hundreds of researchers.

She was inspired to conduct extensive research on WISDOM. How can someone do that? Simple… she did research by talking to notable “experts” about – you guessed it – WISDOM! Praise God!

She then evaluated all of the interviews and started to see some commonalities. She has published her findings in a great book titled, “Common Wisdom: 8 Essential Elements of a Meaningful Life.” In doing this, she has answered two questions:

1. What is Wisdom and,

2. Can it be scientifically defined using the Scientific Method of research we were taught in school. Amen!

To discuss her results and this her great book, “Common Wisdom,” help me welcome to the program, Dr. Laura Gabayan! Dr. Laura, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today and impart some WISDOM with us. Amen!

First question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Laura Gabayan?

You decided to interview notable “Experts” on Wisdom. You also started the “Wisdom Research Project” to, basically, keep all of this as a professionally based, scientific research program. I guess the question is, “How did you find these “Wise people” to interview?”

You found eight major elements that were common throughout your interviews with 60 experts. Can you give us a quick list and synopsis of the “8 Elements of Wisdom?”

1. Resilience 2. Kindness 3. Positivity 4. Spirituality

5. Humility 6. Tolerance 7. Creativity 8. Curiosity

Where did you interview them at? Did you travel to them? Was it virtually accomplished?

About how many questions did you ask your “wise participants?”

How long did it take you to do all of these interviews?

You then started compiling their responses and grouping them into categories. How long did it take you to evaluate and categorize the responses?

As you were compiling this information, what surprised you the most from their responses?

In your book, “Common Wisdom,” you discuss the “interconnectedness” of these elements. What do you mean by that?

Following your research, do you believe the purpose of life is to attain wisdom? Can understanding wisdom help us in understanding the “meaning of life?”

Do you think that is...

We have all suffered setbacks. Every person in the sound of my voice right now can tell a story. Amen. I’ve had them… yes, I said THEM. More than one… several… and few of them were major, major setbacks

Our guest today is Guy Gane. He had it all. He was a successful businessman. He had a good income, great family and was living the lifestyle most wanted to aspire to. Beautiful homes, expensive cars, enjoyable vacations, public recognition, and the promise of goals assured to achieve. But, through the efforts of so nice business partners… things fell apart. And fast. Within 8 hours - one working day - Guy ‘s 30 - plus year reputation of goodness, honesty and integrity as a stockbroker were not called into question. They disappeared completely. It is said that it is better to never have had money than have it all be taken away. This is a man who has lived through both.

In fact, Guy ended up suffering in a huge way… I’ll let him give the synopsis. But if you want the detailed story, go listen to our prior interview in episodes 1509 and 1510. Amen.

We had such a great conversation, I had to invite him back on today because… well – we just ran out of time on his prior interview. Amen!

Last time, we were discussing his great book, , “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life.”

But I wanted to go a little deeper because Guy has a unique and very beneficial coaching program that we were not able to go into last time.

With that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Guy Gane! Guy, it is a blessing to have you come back on the program with us today!

This is part 2 to a great conversation with Guy Gane!

I mentioned that you have a coaching program, “Performance Coaching.” Can you share with us how you help others and what your program consists of?

Guy, this has been so interesting. I know you’ve touched the hearts of a lot of people just sharing your story and your information and perspective. If someone wanted to ask you a question or get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…

Folks, not everyone has gone through the tragic life lessons that Guy Gane has gone through. But we all have gone through “something.” Pastor Bob included. I’m telling you right now, God has you listening today for a reason. There is something you have gone through or perhaps someone you know who has gone through something… something that turns life “upside down."

You need to get a copy of Guy Gane’s book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life” in your hands now. Right now! Amen!

Guy Gane’s now imparts the knowledge he has gained through a lifetime of happiness and hardship and demonstrates what can be accomplished through a dedication to discipline, foundational principles, and most importantly – Faith. Amen! Faith in God is the bedrock of it all. His is a testimony of living a life - not only of belief, but in knowing - that whatever a person chooses to do with their life can, through God’s guidance, be accomplished.

Does that sound like you? Are you ready to accomplish what God has intended for you to achieve?

If so, drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Guy Gane’s - and be sure to click the link to order this great book. Amen! I’ll have the links right there. Just drop down into the...

Let’s bring our listeners up-to-date… as some of them may not have heard our prior interview

That being said, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Guy Gane?” and what happened to you that made you who you are today…

You wrote the book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life?”

Why did you choose the word, “Chrysalis?” and explain what that word means…

This is part two to a great conversation with Craig Dehut!

If I did my calculations correctly, the average brick maker could make 500 bricks per day – per person. Did you ever find out if that was the “tale of the bricks” that would have been used in Biblical times?

I learned from the video that the “Ark of the Covenant” idea came from Egypt. Is that right?

In the video, you take the viewer on a ship out into the Red Sea. How impressive was it being on the Red Sea and knowing you were in the same spot God Supernaturally parted those waters and allowed a million plus people through on dry ground?

As your crew was filming on Mt. Sinai, a pastor who had walked up to the top of the mountain made it to the top – walking the entire way with a cane. Praise God! When I saw that, I immediately thought of Moses in his 80’s making that journey, too.

Your video shows a massive desert where the Israelites had to learn to rely on God every step of every day for every single thing they needed. Can you explain how relevant that is for us today – even in our society?

How important is it for us to take advantage of modern technology, like video and the internet to help people become re-engaged with the Bible?

What do you see as the future of “Faith Based Media?”

It took Moses and Israel 40 years to make their journey. How long did it take your team to make the journey?

Your video focuses on one person in your crew… but how many were actually there with you for the filming of...

There is so much noise today in the media. Useless, controversial and often inflammatory rhetoric which leads to more and more animosity and division. Documentaries today tend to “fuel the fire” (so to speak) as well.

In order to teach the Gospel, we first must understand the Gospel message. The only way to truly understand the Gospel message is to experience it as best we can. Many people are unable to make a pilgrimage to the land of the Bible. Many people do not have the resources, or perhaps their health issues preclude them from doing so.

It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words… I’d also add that a video is probably worth 10,000 pictures. Because, in actuality, that is what a video is… thousands of individual pictures strung together in sequence to tell as story. Amen!

This brings up the need for safe, professional and Biblically accurate videos that reflect the Bible Stories in a unique way that will motivate, educate and inspire Christians everywhere.

That is where our guest comes in. Amen.

Craig Dehut is one the co-founders of Apian Media. He and Stuart Peck were alarmed with the soaring rate of disengaged young people with the Bible. They recognized one of the causes was lack of engaging, accurate and professionally produced videos that would capture the attention of, not only the younger generation, but Christians everywhere. And that, in the process, these videos would be viewed from around the world through the power of the internet. Even in places open witnessing cannot be accomplished. Amen!

They recently released their latest work, “Out of Egypt,” which is a video detailing their attempt to make the “Exodus Journey” which God used to free Israel from Egyptian bondage.

To discuss this magnificent project, help me welcome to the program, Craig Dehut! Craig, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate your time.

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Craig Dehut?”

The idea for Apian Media started way back in 2015. Can you share original motivation that started the planning for this between you and Stuart Peck?

Share with our listeners your name, “Appian Media.” What does that reference?

Which was your first video that Apian Media produced?

How many views have you received on your videos from around the world?

What kind testimonials have you received from those that viewed your videos?

When you filmed the “Following Jesus” video – What was the most memorable or remarkable experience you can share with us?

There is no doubt of the need for videos like you are producing. How important do you view the need to counter the culture of Hollywood and the trash corrupting the minds of people today?

Let’s talk about your recent video, “Out of Egypt.” How long was the planning process for this video (from “Hey, this is an idea” to actually landing in Egypt)?

The primary, I guess I’d say “narrator” in the film, is Jeremy Dehut. I take it Jeremy is your brother? Is that correct?

I was watching the video and seen you interview the owner of a brick making factory…You were declared the “master brick maker.” What was your impression when you saw them making bricks almost in the same manner as depicted in the Bible?

If I did my calculations correctly, the average brick maker could make 500 bricks per day – per person. Did you ever find out if that was the “tale of the bricks”...

I grew up in tumultuous times of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. I remember the riots in Detroit and other cities. I remember the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Our entire school system, where I grew about 60 miles north of Detroit, had 3… that’s it… 3 black students – in the entire school system.

So watching these events on TV, as a young, impressionable teenager, taught me some things that were flat out wrong…racism, discrimination, etc.

It was not until I went in the Army in the mid-70’s that I discovered how wrong my upbringing was. Not only did I realize I was wrong on my perceptions – but some of my co-workers and fellow soldiers and who became my best friends, who were black, discovered they were wrong about ME in their perceptions, too.

Why am I leading off with this? Because perceptions – I should say “misperceptions” – can lead to disastrous policies, disastrous incidents and out of these things – nothing good can ever come. Amen!

Our guest today grew up in that same time frame that I did… but from looking at things, let’s just say, from the other side of the tracks.

Star Parker, grew up as a military brat…my kids can relate to that… but after moving to St. Lous in 1969, right after the MLK assassination, she found herself swept up in the racial tensions that was sweeping the nation. This led her down a path that took her years to recognize was - the wrong path.

With several abortions, living on Food Stamps and Welfare and seeking work that paid, “under the table” (so she could continue on Government subsistence), she found herself pregnant, but wanting to keep this baby.

That one decision led her to make another – where she accepted Jesus as her Lord and that led to another decision… to change her life for the better.

Today, Star Parker is a nationally syndicated columnist and hosts a weekly television news show, CURE America with Star Parker, which is broadcast on the National Religious Broadcasters Network, the TCT Network and others as well as on the streaming services. She has served on the Executive Board of the National Religious Broadcaster Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors at the Leadership Institute. She has spoken on more than 225 college campuses, including Harvard, Berkeley, Emory, Liberty, Franciscan, UCLA, and the University of Virginia.

She is a regular commentator on national television and radio networks including the BBC, EWTN, FOX News and others.

She is the founder and president of CURE, which is the “Center for Urban Renewal and Education.”

CURE has just released a new study, in book form, in cooperation with contributing scholars and luminaries who are experts in their fields of study, titled, “The State of Black Progress – Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles.”

Having said all of that, help me welcome to the program our very special guest, Star Parker! Star, it is a blessing for you to come on the program and join us today.

The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Star Parker?”

Just to lay the groundwork for the discussion of your book, share with us, from your perception, what life was like for you, your family and friends, back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with all of the racial tensions that were going on?

Tell us about the...
