S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

When my dad passed away,

0:04

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we were leaving the gravesite and my grandmother,

0:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

she just was looking out the window and said,

0:09

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I can only imagine what Bub's seeing right now.

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It really stuck with me because I was so

0:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

just eaten up by missing him that in some way it was therapeutic

0:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

to consume myself with what he was seeing versus him not being around.

0:26

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

If I had a pen in my hand,

0:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I would always doodle,

0:29

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I can only imagine,

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

literally in everything I'd get my hands on.

0:32

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

If I'm on hold on the phone,

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I would be writing down on anything.

0:35

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I just became obsessed with this investment in heaven,

0:39

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

so to speak,

0:40

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

you know, that he was now a far greater part of my future than he was my past.

0:44

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

We needed one last song,

0:48

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and so they were like,

0:49

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

hey, tomorrow's our last day in the studio.

0:50

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

We've got to get this song done.

0:52

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And so I set up all night,

0:53

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

literally looking for a blank page to start writing anything on.

0:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Couldn't find one.

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Every page had,

1:00

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I can imagine,

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

written in it.

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It was one of those moments where I was like,

1:05

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

okay, I get it.

1:06

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Okay.

1:19

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

But

1:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I was just so excited because I'd never had anything like that come that quickly.

1:34

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

So we went in the studio the next day,

1:39

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and we unpacked everything and recorded the song,

1:41

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

like maybe two takes.

1:43

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And

2:03

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

so for about a year,

2:04

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we never sang it live.

2:05

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Then we were here to camp,

2:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and the speaker was like,

2:08

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

hey, can you do that Imagine song?

2:11

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

We're like, we don't know it.

2:13

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Like, we've never played it.

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

So while he's preaching,

2:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we're behind the curtain,

2:17

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

quietly trying to learn our own song that we'd never played live.

2:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And when the curtain opened,

2:22

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we played it,

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and the spotlight's hitting us in the face.

2:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Couldn't see or hear anything.

2:26

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

When we finished,

2:27

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there was no applause,

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

nothing.

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It was dead quiet.

2:29

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I remember looking at each other going,

2:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

this was the worst decision ever.

2:32

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And then when the lights came up,

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

like, most of the crowd was at the altar on their knees crying.

2:37

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And we're like, what is happening?

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I guess we've played it every night since.

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

People were asking,

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

like, why did this song do what it did?

2:48

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Why do you think it reached so many people?

2:51

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I'm like, man, I think ultimately most people can agree that they hope that

2:55

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there's something better after this.

2:57

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

If they've lost a loved one,

2:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

they hope that they're in a better place.

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I think people embrace that hope.

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

After Imagine kind of ran its course in Christian music,

3:09

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there was a top 40 station.

3:11

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

They were doing this truth or dare kind of shock jock,

3:13

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

kind of Howard Stern kind of morning thing.

3:15

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And they were doing truth or dare,

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

which was supposed to be like this vulgar,

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

perverted thing they were doing in the air.

3:19

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And someone called and dared them to play Imagine.

3:21

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Their own fans started dogging them like,

3:24

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

oh, it's something you won't do.

3:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

So they got a copy of it and they played it.

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

All of a sudden,

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

the phone started ringing off the hook.

3:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It became like the number one song on their station for like six months.

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Well, in that,

3:36

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

one of the stories they told us was there was a lady that was about to take her life.

3:40

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

She had decided to run her car off a bridge.

3:43

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

She's listening to Wild 100,

3:45

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Imagine plays,

3:47

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and she gets incredibly angry at the song.

3:50

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

So much so that she's decided to put that on hold and

3:54

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

drive to the station to,

3:56

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

like,

3:57

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

how dare you play this song.

3:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It was totally messing up her plan.

3:59

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I don't know.

4:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

In traffic,

4:02

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I want to say she saw a billboard of a Christian radio station and knew maybe they could

4:06

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

explain why this dumb song is being played.

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Called them because the mainstream wouldn't answer.

4:10

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Lines were busy because people kept calling in.

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

So she called the stage she could find.

4:14

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Why does this song exist?

4:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

How dare you?

4:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Why would you have them play the mainstream like it works that way?

4:19

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And they're like, we don't know what you're talking about.

4:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And then they kept talking.

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Are you okay?

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Are you okay?

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And then she's like,

4:23

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I just don't understand it.

4:24

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And then they eventually led her to Christ.

4:26

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

that by the time she did get to the mainstream station,

4:29

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

she hugged the guy's neck in tears and said,

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

if you wouldn't have played that,

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I wouldn't be here.

4:32

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

We

4:37

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

had a chance to play at Fort Hood in Texas for the troops that caught Saddam Hussein were coming home.

4:41

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And it wasn't just them,

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there were several soldiers coming home.

4:45

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And so we played and this one officer came up and just embraced us who could barely

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

understand what he was saying because he was crying so hard.

4:51

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

He said he lost his whole company.

4:53

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

He's the only one to survive.

4:55

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And he said he spent the whole night with a loaded gun and imagined

5:00

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

playing through a Walkman,

5:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

contemplating whether to take his life or not.

5:03

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And he goes, I decided it wasn't worth it.

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

To be asked to play at Fort Hood,

5:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I'm freaking out.

5:08

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Like these are like real heroes.

5:10

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And the last thing he said was,

5:11

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

you're the biggest hero in my life to us.

5:14

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I remember just crying,

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

going, no, no,

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

no, no, no, no.

5:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I'm like,

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I'm out of shape.

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I like Doritos a lot.

5:19

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I was like,

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

you're the hero.

5:21

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It was really overwhelming to have him say that to us and that

5:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

the song kept him from doing something crazy like that.

5:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It was, yeah.

5:29

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I've

5:36

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

been consumed with heaven for a very long time.

5:39

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I don't know how it all works.

5:41

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Do I think that we're going to cross over Jordan and there's some streets of gold and

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

stuff?

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Honestly,

5:47

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

probably not.

5:49

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I tend to believe that whatever John was seeing in

5:53

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Revelation, he was describing it with the most precious things he could possibly

5:57

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

comprehend,

5:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

whether it was gold or whatever he's seeing,

6:00

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there's no other words to put it than it looked like this.

6:03

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And the tools I'm given to describe things,

6:05

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

he's describing it as best he knows how.

6:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

In Ephesians,

6:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

it says we've already been placed in the heavenlies,

6:27

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

which means somehow in past tense,

6:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

part of me is already there.

6:31

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I don't know if I ever just assumed as he's going to place us

6:35

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

in the heavenlies or whatever,

6:36

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

but the fact that we're already there,

6:37

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

that if part of heaven is no more separation from Christ,

6:41

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

then in a way...

6:42

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Heaven's kind of begun.

6:43

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

There are parts that we don't see clearly,

6:45

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

but at the same time,

6:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we're no longer separated from Christ.

6:48

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I'm not trying to say there's not a place where our loved ones are.

6:51

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I believe all that takes place.

6:53

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

But the fact that nothing can take us out of the hand of Christ,

6:56

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

that nothing's going to change,

6:57

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

even on our worst day,

6:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

we know what our outcome is as one of His.

7:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

You know,

7:02

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

that's a pretty awesome thought that in a way it kind of has begun.

7:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Heaven is kind of here in a sense.

7:12

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Corinthians 2 .2 says,

7:13

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I've determined to know nothing while I'm with you except Jesus Christ and crucified.

7:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I can't tell you how many times I've said that while getting

7:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

beaten, while being abused,

7:22

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

and the things I've gone through,

7:24

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

it's almost like you just kind of zone out and just keep clinging to that.

7:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

This is what it's about.

7:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

It's still kind of the hope I hold on with heaven is that no

7:35

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

matter what gets to me,

7:36

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

it's like I'm determined to know nothing but this.

7:39

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Whether it's thinking about my dad and what's to come and talking about heaven or whatever I'm going through now,

7:42

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I'm determined to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified.

7:46

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

If

7:51

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

there are people that are watching this or whatever and thinking,

7:53

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

man, I'm intrigued by this,

7:55

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

but uncertain.

7:56

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And the Bible says if we believe and confess our sins and believe,

7:59

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

then we can be saved.

8:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I think there's a moment when you just

8:05

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

choose to believe,

8:06

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

God, this is real.

8:07

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And I want you to be a part of this story and who I am.

8:10

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And even if we don't get the words right.

8:12

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I think God's faithful to see the heart and to do His part,

8:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

so to speak.

8:16

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

A

8:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

day without having faith that there's something after this just kind of feels like

8:24

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

a wasted day to me.

8:25

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And so it's just what I choose to believe.

8:27

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

If it turns out that I'm wrong,

8:30

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

then a better life has been lived because of it.

8:33

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I know what I was before and I know what I am now.

8:36

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I know what my dad was before,

8:38

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

you know, encountering Christ.

8:40

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

You can argue the semantics of it all and if God exists or whatever,

8:43

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

but the thing that can't be argued is what he's done in my life.

8:46

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

And it's probably the most real thing I've ever seen.

8:49

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I

8:54

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

think the idea of us believing that we're a part of something bigger improves

8:58

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

our quality of life here.

8:59

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Just believing it's not just about us.

9:01

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I think the idea that it doesn't just end and we're put in the ground and that's

9:05

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

it. How does that not impact the way you live now?

9:08

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I think deep down we want to believe there's something more.

9:12

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I have to believe that.

9:14

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

Knowing that I'm a part of something bigger,

9:16

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

knowing that it's worthwhile to get out of bed in the morning and tell people about

9:20

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

the gospel rather than just some songs that have

9:24

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

no meaning or point and things eternal just seems kind of

9:28

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

empty to me.

9:29

S… Speaker 2 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

I love

9:33

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

the idea of having hope and embracing the fact that I'm

9:37

S… Speaker 1 (Audio de la vidéo DAB 4)

going to see my dad again.
