Reginal D Sherman: Thank you so much. So thank you so much, man,

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:25

I had a blast with you on my podcast. And I really, I'm

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:29

really grateful that you asked me to come on your podcast. I

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:34

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:42

for this opportunity.

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:43

Yeah, so you're your motivational speaker. I know you

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:48

focused on spiritual healing. I like how you emphasise

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:52

motivation because we all have a purpose of living, you know?

Saylor Cooper: 00:01:58

Exactly.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:00

Yeah,

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:00

Yeah, cuz you got one life.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:00

Reginal D Sherman: oexactly. So yeah, I feel like, you know,

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:06

people, they walk in life, and they really don't know their

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:09

Reginal D Sherman: You only got one life, several you correct.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:10

assignment. They don't really know what their purpose is in

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:13

life. And what I do, and what God has charged me to do, is to

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:17

And you have to walk in, no matter where you come from, or

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:21

motivate people to live the best life you can live, man.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:35

what you're dealing with? Is greatness inside of you.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:39

Regardless. Yeah, but you gotta you gotta you got to put it into

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:43

work. And you got to believe in yourself.

Saylor Cooper: 00:02:46

That's right,

Tyler Evans: 00:02:47

what I believe. And what I believe in is, yes, it's

Tyler Evans: 00:02:51

true. We have one life. But for the believer, we have a second

Tyler Evans: 00:02:54

life. We have eternal life for those who believe in Christ,

Tyler Evans: 00:02:58

who, who have accepted Him.

Tyler Evans: 00:03:02

Reginal D Sherman: Exactly

Tyler Evans: 00:03:03

is that in the way? I believe it the way I believe

Tyler Evans: 00:03:05

it is, you know, without Christ. to you know, and ultimately, if

Tyler Evans: 00:03:09

we align our wheel with kids, then we're going to achieve

Tyler Evans: 00:03:13

anything we drink. We set our monster. Yeah, that's what I

Tyler Evans: 00:03:21

believe. Because all wheel is gonna be aligned with his. You

Tyler Evans: 00:03:33

know, anyway, I'm preaching.

Saylor Cooper: 00:03:35

Yeah.

Saylor Cooper: 00:03:37

Reginal D Sherman: What you you're so correct about that.

Saylor Cooper: 00:03:40

No, people know that they live life. But God said, I can't give

Saylor Cooper: 00:03:46

a life and I can't give you that more abundantly.

Tyler Evans: 00:03:50

Right.

Tyler Evans: 00:03:51

So you said, That's what he said

Tyler Evans: 00:03:54

Reginal D Sherman: right. So you are in a position to live an

Tyler Evans: 00:03:59

abundant life, but you can't live it if you make wrong

Tyler Evans: 00:04:04

choices in life. So life is all about choices. Yes.

Tyler Evans: 00:04:08

Oh, absolutely. And not only that, just because

Tyler Evans: 00:04:11

Jesus said that he can for us to live a life more abundantly.

Tyler Evans: 00:04:16

That doesn't necessarily mean you'll be wealthy and it's

Tyler Evans: 00:04:19

guaranteed that you're gonna be wealthy doesn't mean that a lot

Tyler Evans: 00:04:22

of people have you know, the, you know, you've heard of the

Tyler Evans: 00:04:24

prosperity gospel preaching. A lot of them. Unfortunately, my

Tyler Evans: 00:04:28

mom liked Joel Osteen, which don't get me wrong. He said some

Tyler Evans: 00:04:32

good decent things, I guess. But he never talks about the

Tyler Evans: 00:04:37

importance of salvation. He never talks about the importance

Tyler Evans: 00:04:39

of like heaven and hell, how it's best you know, the way to

Tyler Evans: 00:04:43

avoid hell is Christ. Things like that. He never talks about

Tyler Evans: 00:04:46

it. No, I mean, exactly about oh, just feel good, feel good,

Tyler Evans: 00:04:50

feel good, feel good. It's like, Wait a minute. There's more to

Tyler Evans: 00:04:53

life than just okay. You get wealthy do this. You do this and

Tyler Evans: 00:04:56

then you die. And that's it. So, no, it's not over. You know for

Tyler Evans: 00:05:00

the believer, you know what I believe? There's more to life

Tyler Evans: 00:05:03

than just well, there's more to life than just making friends

Tyler Evans: 00:05:05

and there's just more to life than that. It's Christ. You

Tyler Evans: 00:05:09

know, he's the centre of everything. That's what we need.

Tyler Evans: 00:05:11

We need Christ to be the centre of our lives. That's what I

Tyler Evans: 00:05:13

believe. Yeah, not every do not or not everyone believes that

Tyler Evans: 00:05:16

and that's okay. Yeah, that's freaking out.

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:18

We need we don't just need ice. We need our have

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:21

power to our lives.

Tyler Evans: 00:05:25

Of course. Well, yeah, that's what to me. That's

Tyler Evans: 00:05:29

what he that's what is that Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you

Tyler Evans: 00:05:31

know? Yeah. And but yeah, yeah.

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:34

And everybody has different beliefs. And that's

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:36

okay. Because like, I posted on Facebook yesterday, tattled on

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:42

out of you saw it, I believe in God and Jesus, but I don't

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:46

necessarily agree everything with the Bible, and that's okay.

Saylor Cooper: 00:05:49

You know, but I do go to church, which is good.

Tyler Evans: 00:05:54

I mean, you know, but, you know, I'm, I'm a firm

Tyler Evans: 00:05:59

believer in what, what God has said, and, yeah, and, yeah. So

Tyler Evans: 00:06:05

yeah, we look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:10

As Sherman. Right? This is getting very

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:13

preachy on here. I know. Right? Yeah. So here's some wisdom on

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:19

the podcast.

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:22

Reginal D Sherman: This way, I believe, yes, that you know, you

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:27

live a life that God has created for you. Right. And with this

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:34

life, you have to do something with it. Exactly. You know, if

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:42

you if you make money, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine.

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:45

But at the end of the day, people got to understand in this

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:50

earth, that they have an assignment from God. Let me let

Saylor Cooper: 00:06:57

me elaborate on this. People think that their gift, if you go

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:04

to church, you've gotten people plan to instruments and singing

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:08

on the praise team and stuff like that. They think they give

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:12

this assignment, but it's really not. Because here's the thing,

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:16

your gift is easy. Your assignment in life is going to

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:22

be tough. It's gonna take some grind, it's gonna take some

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:26

grit. Right? It's all good. Because here's the thing, think

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:32

about Jesus. He does have plenty of gifts, plenty of gifts, but

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:39

it's assignment was the toughest thing he had to face. assignment

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:44

was a Die for us, we had to get on the cross with us. So you had

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:52

to walk in your sign in the line, to get the things that God

Saylor Cooper: 00:07:55

has for your life, and the blessings that it has for you.

Tyler Evans: 00:08:01

Know, I would say, you know, Jesus Himself said, No

Tyler Evans: 00:08:07

one takes it from me, I lay it down of my own accord, and I

Tyler Evans: 00:08:11

take it up again, meaning his life. You know, he himself said

Tyler Evans: 00:08:15

that in the book of John. And what's interesting about yours,

Tyler Evans: 00:08:19

the whole, we're all given an assignment. I truly believe that

Tyler Evans: 00:08:24

sailor and I were given an assignment to he and I, I mean,

Tyler Evans: 00:08:29

he and I becoming entrepreneurs in the future, becoming, you

Tyler Evans: 00:08:33

know, entrepreneurs, so that we can make a difference in this

Tyler Evans: 00:08:36

society and well beyond and things like that, you know,

Tyler Evans: 00:08:40

being able to make revenue and money so we can help our family,

Tyler Evans: 00:08:44

our fellow man, being able to just, maybe, you know, take them

Tyler Evans: 00:08:51

like family members and friends, maybe on vacation so they can

Tyler Evans: 00:08:54

explore and just, you know, and that's a good feeling to be able

Tyler Evans: 00:08:59

to know that you can contribute in your own small, little way.

Tyler Evans: 00:09:02

Even if it's not necessarily money yet. And right now, we're

Tyler Evans: 00:09:05

contributing, not with money yet, but through just

Tyler Evans: 00:09:09

inspiration through, you know, speaking and my podcasting and

Tyler Evans: 00:09:12

stuff. And so I believe this is an assignment and it's, it is

Tyler Evans: 00:09:16

difficult, but it's also very rewarding and exciting. And we

Tyler Evans: 00:09:20

may have an assignment next week, it's the lift your spirit

Tyler Evans: 00:09:25

party,

Saylor Cooper: 00:09:26

Tyler, tell Reggie moody about it.

Tyler Evans: 00:09:30

Oh, yeah. So basically, the first Thursday of

Tyler Evans: 00:09:35

the month, hopefully, if all goes to plan, we're gonna have

Tyler Evans: 00:09:40

what's called a lifter spirit party. And what it is it's a

Tyler Evans: 00:09:45

basically a prelude to the next event that we're going to be

Tyler Evans: 00:09:49

Tyler Evans: 00:09:54

is a one hour event and it's free. Free of charge for

Tyler Evans: 00:09:58

everyone to attend. You Guess what we do, what we're going to

Tyler Evans: 00:10:01

do is we're just going to tell people, hey, get pumped, get

Tyler Evans: 00:10:08

Tyler Evans: 00:10:14

a month for those who sign up monthly. Or if they wish, they

Tyler Evans: 00:10:17

Tyler Evans: 00:10:24

basically, we're going to just discuss how you can find more

Tyler Evans: 00:10:27

bliss in your life. Yes. Yeah, and that's one of the favourite

Tyler Evans: 00:10:34

words. That's one of the favourite words we love is

Tyler Evans: 00:10:36

bliss.

Saylor Cooper: 00:10:37

Yeah, we do.

Tyler Evans: 00:10:40

Yes, indeed. The sound feel good. Oh, yeah, it's

Tyler Evans: 00:10:44

really it's really cool. And we basically want to tell people

Tyler Evans: 00:10:48

look, you know, no matter where you've come from, no matter

Tyler Evans: 00:10:50

where you've been, no matter what your disability or ability,

Tyler Evans: 00:10:55

Tyler Evans: 00:10:59

inspirational, you know? So yeah. So that's basically and

Tyler Evans: 00:11:05

also awesome. There is a text that you can send, and it's the

Tyler Evans: 00:11:12

word bliss. 28324816806. Is that right? Say Hi, John.

Saylor Cooper: 00:11:24

Great job.

Tyler Evans: 00:11:25

Yeah. So again, that's bliss, the word bliss to

Tyler Evans: 00:11:29

that way you can keep up with everything. It's the word bliss,

Tyler Evans: 00:11:35

28324816806. That's right. Yeah. And so it's in the chat right

Tyler Evans: 00:11:43

now. We had three registrants so far, so pleased. It adds a layer

Tyler Evans: 00:11:48

of electric spirit party register, and share it with your

Tyler Evans: 00:11:53

friends who may benefit. Absolutely. And he just wrote a

Tyler Evans: 00:11:58

book, my best friend Saylor did about navigating life's

Tyler Evans: 00:12:02

challenges. And yeah, tell tell him a little more about the book

Tyler Evans: 00:12:07

if you want. They're gonna tell you about the book legend on

Tyler Evans: 00:12:10

your podcast, I think you can elaborate for those who might

Tyler Evans: 00:12:16

have missed it for those.

Saylor Cooper: 00:12:17

Yeah yeah, it's about how to navigate life's

Saylor Cooper: 00:12:20

challenges and understand different cultures,

Saylor Cooper: 00:12:22

personalities and live a life blissfully.

Tyler Evans: 00:12:26

Exactly. And, you know, it's interesting Pastor

Tyler Evans: 00:12:33

Shepherd. Sherman, Sherman whips us, paster Sherman. Our podcast

Tyler Evans: 00:12:42

is called Hope, without sight. Yet now, people, maybe people

Tyler Evans: 00:12:48

maybe make people maybe take away hope without sight. Does

Tyler Evans: 00:12:52

that just mean? No, you're blind and you don't feel like you have

Tyler Evans: 00:12:54

hope? No, it's way beyond that. It's a metaphor. Basically, the

Tyler Evans: 00:13:00

idea that you can have hope despite not seeing hope. And

Tyler Evans: 00:13:05

that's ultimately what hope without sight is all about. The

Tyler Evans: 00:13:08

idea that it may look superduper dark, your circumstances may

Tyler Evans: 00:13:13

look bleak. But despite all that, there's still hope. And

Tyler Evans: 00:13:17

there's still inspiration. And that's what it's all about.

Saylor Cooper: 00:13:24

That's right.

Saylor Cooper: 00:13:24

Reginal D Sherman: That's awesome.

Tyler Evans: 00:13:26

Indeed. So tell us a little bit about how you got

Tyler Evans: 00:13:32

to pastoring. What inspired it?

Tyler Evans: 00:13:35

Reginal D Sherman: Well, exactly. I'm not a paster

Tyler Evans: 00:13:40

income. I came from his generation of pastors. I

Tyler Evans: 00:13:44

actually, I actually spoke at my home church in South Carolina.

Tyler Evans: 00:13:50

I'm in North Carolina. Net to church and my grandfather, Bill.

Tyler Evans: 00:13:56

He's deceased. Now. He died at 90 years old. But he left it to

Tyler Evans: 00:14:01

my cousin to pasture and then he asked me to come speak Last

Tyler Evans: 00:14:08

Sunday, actually, so I took the four hour drive there and had a

Tyler Evans: 00:14:12

ball. You know, my life is different. My life has been a

Tyler Evans: 00:14:18

roller coaster sometimes, but at the end of the day, God had a

Tyler Evans: 00:14:21

call on my life. And that's about it, that you got a lot of

Tyler Evans: 00:14:28

ministers that preach one way and do things another way. But

Tyler Evans: 00:14:32

like I say, when you walk in your assignment, God opened up

Tyler Evans: 00:14:36

doors for you and blesses you more than you ever know. Yes, he

Tyler Evans: 00:14:41

was oh, my, my, my, my ministry and the way I speak. I use God

Tyler Evans: 00:14:49

as a train to pull this thing. But at the end of the day, I use

Tyler Evans: 00:14:53

motivational speaking right to the word.

Saylor Cooper: 00:14:57

I'm kind of doing that too

Saylor Cooper: 00:14:59

Reginal D Sherman: because

Tyler Evans: 00:15:00

Of course,

Tyler Evans: 00:15:01

Reginal D Sherman: you know, people, you can go to church,

Tyler Evans: 00:15:04

and you can get in the church and a pastor can hoop up and

Tyler Evans: 00:15:08

down and you feel good. But then you go right back in life, and

Tyler Evans: 00:15:13

then you lose. So all about teaching life lessons through

Tyler Evans: 00:15:20

what God says. He says, We all come as we mourn in Congress,

Tyler Evans: 00:15:25

but how are you going to conquer your life, you got issues in

Tyler Evans: 00:15:27

your life, you can't even deal with some of your issues of what

Tyler Evans: 00:15:32

you did whatever day you have to fix yourself, to live that

Tyler Evans: 00:15:37

abundant life. You got to fix yourself before you can help

Tyler Evans: 00:15:40

others. That's a good common saying like this. Right? So if

Tyler Evans: 00:15:46

you if you look at if you think about Jesus on the cross, and he

Tyler Evans: 00:15:52

said, what he says, finished, everything you need, everything

Tyler Evans: 00:15:59

you got you need in life is already done. Because he said on

Tyler Evans: 00:16:03

the cross, you just gotta walk in who you are. You gotta walk

Tyler Evans: 00:16:06

in grace. You gotta walk in your purpose. Of course, if you don't

Tyler Evans: 00:16:12

walk in your purpose, you know, walking greatest, guess what?

Tyler Evans: 00:16:15

You're just gonna be walking. That's right.

Tyler Evans: 00:16:17

Right. And everyone's walking somewhere and

Tyler Evans: 00:16:20

life, metaphorically speaking, but yeah, everyone walking

Tyler Evans: 00:16:23

somewhere, there's think about it. The choices you make, are

Tyler Evans: 00:16:28

going to determine your future, your economic, educational,

Tyler Evans: 00:16:33

whatever. And if you make bad choices, you do drugs, you slip

Tyler Evans: 00:16:38

around, you do all this stuff with anyone and everyone you

Tyler Evans: 00:16:40

want. And your Party Party Party. And that's all you're

Tyler Evans: 00:16:43

thinking of, well, that's a recipe for disaster. But if you

Tyler Evans: 00:16:49

want to work hard, achieve the American Dream, which I'm a firm

Tyler Evans: 00:16:53

believer in need to. And you really want to make a

Tyler Evans: 00:16:58

difference. That doesn't necessarily guarantee wealth.

Tyler Evans: 00:17:02

You know, I want to be clear, like some people, they want to

Tyler Evans: 00:17:06

aspire to be wealthy. And that's okay. Not everyone wants to

Tyler Evans: 00:17:10

aspire to be wealthy. And that's okay, too.

Saylor Cooper: 00:17:12

No, you don't need to be born happy you need

Saylor Cooper: 00:17:17

to buy or stop that you don't it doesn't mean you have to be

Saylor Cooper: 00:17:20

wealthy.

Tyler Evans: 00:17:21

No, no, no, absolutely. In fact, you know,

Tyler Evans: 00:17:25

the poorest person in America is wealthier than most of the

Tyler Evans: 00:17:31

world. Do you know that? How the how.. have you know that? Wow.

Tyler Evans: 00:17:39

Think about it. You have a roof over your head, you have food on

Tyler Evans: 00:17:43

the table, you have clothes on your back, you've got all these

Tyler Evans: 00:17:47

things. And you could have literally no money whatsoever.

Tyler Evans: 00:17:51

You know, family helps. Friends can help. Churches can help

Tyler Evans: 00:17:58

nonprofit you know, like synagogue, mosque, whatever you

Tyler Evans: 00:18:00

believe in. They help. Even the poorest person is wealthier than

Tyler Evans: 00:18:07

even some kings and queens were. And yet, we think, oh, what this

Tyler Evans: 00:18:13

person's poor, oh, this person is rich, tear that person down

Tyler Evans: 00:18:18

because they're rich. Now, I don't believe in that. I believe

Tyler Evans: 00:18:22

that everyone deserves to be, you know, respected. And, and I

Tyler Evans: 00:18:32

believe and I also believe that if you work hard, and you want

Tyler Evans: 00:18:40

to make a difference, and you want to be wealthy, you

Tyler Evans: 00:18:44

potentially might be yes, but if you don't, but if you don't,

Tyler Evans: 00:18:47

that's okay, too. But I don't believe in attacking people just

Tyler Evans: 00:18:52

because, Oh, that guy's rich. attack that person. Well, that

Tyler Evans: 00:18:55

guy's poor. He's a victim. Excuse me? No, I don't believe

Tyler Evans: 00:19:00

in victim ism.

Tyler Evans: 00:19:01

Reginal D Sherman: No, here's the thing about here's the thing

Tyler Evans: 00:19:03

about that, right? You're not a victim of your circumstances, a

Tyler Evans: 00:19:07

lot of people are just part of the choices. Now, of course, and

Tyler Evans: 00:19:12

whatever choices you make, is going to determine your outcomes

Tyler Evans: 00:19:16

like, right, right. That's it. I don't go down this long road

Tyler Evans: 00:19:22

with people and teach people about life and teach them about

Tyler Evans: 00:19:26

choices. Because at the end of the day, whatever choice you

Tyler Evans: 00:19:30

make, is going to determine what kind of life you're going to

Tyler Evans: 00:19:32

live. Exactly. That's right. It's simple.

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:39

Yeah, yes.

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:41

Reginal D Sherman: I know, I grind I grind a lot. You know, I

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:44

like to help people, you know, families comfortable, we're

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:49

comfortable grandkids, comfortable kids accountable. At

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:53

the end of the day, you know, that's all that matters to me.

Saylor Cooper: 00:19:56

You know, I gotta leave a legacy for my family.

Tyler Evans: 00:20:00

Exactly

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:02

Exactly as a powerful message, and if you're

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:07

feeling down and out to skip back up again, because you're

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:11

gonna win, or how would you say it, whereas your Reginal D.

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:16

Reginal D Sherman: So I served a Sunday, when I spoke at this

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:18

church. You ever seen an underdog team that won a

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:24

championship? They want a championship. Because they

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:30

believe in itself. They put in the effort, and it did not quit.

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:36

It's the same thing about life. And life, you may feel like an

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:39

underdog. But if you believe in yourself, you put in the effort

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:44

and don't quit, you will become a champion.

Saylor Cooper: 00:20:51

That's right.

Tyler Evans: 00:20:53

You know, it's interesting. We've had great

Tyler Evans: 00:20:58

leaders in our, in our day, like, throughout our history of

Tyler Evans: 00:21:02

meaning America system, from George Washington to Jefferson

Tyler Evans: 00:21:05

to all in between. And they faced numerous challenges in

Tyler Evans: 00:21:09

life. They faced, you know, like, shipwreck and all these

Tyler Evans: 00:21:16

things, and they overcame it. And then, of course, Abraham

Tyler Evans: 00:21:19

Lincoln was a great leader during the American Civil War

Tyler Evans: 00:21:21

because of his leadership. And yet he despite all that, he kept

Tyler Evans: 00:21:27

fighting for the Union, to be to, you know, to survive, so

Tyler Evans: 00:21:33

that it wouldn't become, you know, destroyed, destroyed. And

Tyler Evans: 00:21:37

he ultimately was assassinated and envy and became a hero by

Tyler Evans: 00:21:42

many. And same with John F. Kennedy. You know, he wanted us

Tyler Evans: 00:21:47

to go to the moon. He even said it. We want to do it not because

Tyler Evans: 00:21:51

it is easy, but because it is hard. Yes. You know, and you

Tyler Evans: 00:21:56

see.

Saylor Cooper: 00:21:58

Yeah, go ahead. We went to the moon.

Tyler Evans: 00:22:01

Yeah, we did. Oh, is that what you're gonna say?

Saylor Cooper: 00:22:04

Yeah, in my opinion. You say it. I don't

Saylor Cooper: 00:22:08

care. We live a great we live in the greatest country of the

Saylor Cooper: 00:22:11

world.

Tyler Evans: 00:22:12

Yes, we do. And yes, it's imperfect. Of course.

Tyler Evans: 00:22:16

It's imperfect. No nation is perfect. No nation will be

Tyler Evans: 00:22:20

perfect. But we're a more perfect union. Because think

Tyler Evans: 00:22:23

about the preamble to our constitution says we, the people

Tyler Evans: 00:22:28

of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union

Tyler Evans: 00:22:32

doesn't say a perfect union a more perfect, there's

Tyler Evans: 00:22:35

difference. We're not a utopia. And we never will be. And we

Tyler Evans: 00:22:39

can't be not in this life. But certainly in the one to come for

Tyler Evans: 00:22:43

those who believe in Christ and go to heaven. You know, that's

Tyler Evans: 00:22:46

utopia. Because there's perfection. There's sinlessness

Tyler Evans: 00:22:48

there. There's nothing but perfection. Yeah. But for now,

Tyler Evans: 00:22:53

we don't live in a utopia and we never will, at least not here.

Tyler Evans: 00:22:58

And that's okay. But we do live in a more perfect union. That's

Tyler Evans: 00:23:02

what I believe. That's right. Yep. So

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:09

sow, and whatever stuff you do to share on my

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:14

show, should we wrap it up?

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:19

Reginal D Sherman: Well, the thing about it, so I'm a guy

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:23

that I believe that we are put on earth for a specific reason.

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:31

It doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter what

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:34

you're dealing with. If you've got a disability, or whatever,

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:38

you still can be great. That's an assignment and who you are.

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:47

Because the most people, the most powerful people I know is

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:53

people that may have a disability, because they're

Saylor Cooper: 00:23:56

still doing what they are called to do, such as just So sir, and

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:03

encourages me to keep going, because I'm gonna tell you

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:08

something about me. At the end of the day, I'm a giver, man, I

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:15

help people I do all kinds of stuff to help people. And when

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:23

it's all said and done with me in my life, is that one day, I

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:28

gotta die. I gotta go meet I gotta go meet Christ. Yes, you

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:32

were and we all want. But when I'm land in front of somebody's

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:37

church in a casket, my main goal is not to let the pastor preach

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:46

my funeral. My life is gonna preach my funeral. He ain't

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:50

gonna say nothing about me. But all the things I've done on this

Saylor Cooper: 00:24:57

earth to help people That's what I strive for. That's my goal.

Saylor Cooper: 00:25:04

When it's all said and done.

Tyler Evans: 00:25:08

Yeah, and you know, you know, you were mentioning a

Tyler Evans: 00:25:11

disability? Well, I would argue, every single person on the face

Tyler Evans: 00:25:18

of this earth has a disability, you know what it is? Exactly. It

Tyler Evans: 00:25:22

is sin. Ah, you're born into it. We, you know, we were born into

Tyler Evans: 00:25:28

sin. I know. Yeah. And we all have limitations because of it.

Tyler Evans: 00:25:34

Now, if we were sinless, and we had no sound whatsoever, and we

Tyler Evans: 00:25:37

were perfect, we would have no limitations at all, so

Tyler Evans: 00:25:44

Reginal D Sherman: Jesus had to die.

Tyler Evans: 00:25:46

Exactly. And I would argue everyone has a

Tyler Evans: 00:25:48

disability of some sort. Right now, it's more obvious to some

Tyler Evans: 00:25:53

than others, like some people, it's obvious. Me and Saylor.

Tyler Evans: 00:25:57

It's obvious. We're black. We use cane. You know, some people

Tyler Evans: 00:26:00

use dogs, you know, and then for others, there's epilepsy.

Tyler Evans: 00:26:07

There's asthma, there's all these other things. And some

Tyler Evans: 00:26:10

things are just unnoticed. Even depression. And possibly bipolar

Tyler Evans: 00:26:16

is not always obvious to many people, but it's just hidden and

Tyler Evans: 00:26:20

invisible. Right. And that can be a disability too.

Tyler Evans: 00:26:25

Reginal D Sherman: Right. So, yeah, can I tell you kind of

Tyler Evans: 00:26:28

tell you something about me? Absolutely. Yeah. There was a

Tyler Evans: 00:26:33

point in my life, that I was going to commit suicide. Oh,

Tyler Evans: 00:26:40

it's awful. I had date and time I was going to blow my brains

Tyler Evans: 00:26:47

out. I was on all these anxity pills, and the day before I was

Tyler Evans: 00:26:58

going to commit suicide, God spoke to me, I was laying on the

Tyler Evans: 00:27:02

couch. He said, You can't do this. He said, what's going to

Tyler Evans: 00:27:08

happen to all the people that I signed you to? See what's going

Tyler Evans: 00:27:13

to happen to all the people that I'm going to put in your

Tyler Evans: 00:27:19

presence? I gave you assignment. And the next thing that

Tyler Evans: 00:27:24

happened, I went into a deep sleep. Wow. And then this, this

Tyler Evans: 00:27:29

tiger, no, I woke up. And I felt so empowered. Because here's the

Tyler Evans: 00:27:34

thing. God has put my assignment in me. My assignment have power

Tyler Evans: 00:27:41

over my situation. Right? After I had no more, I had no more

Tyler Evans: 00:27:46

suicidal thoughts. I quit demands out of the pills, cold

Tyler Evans: 00:27:49

turkey. And I'm like, Yeah, but I tell him. I tell him, I don't

Tyler Evans: 00:27:56

quit your pills. That was just me. Right? You know, so you got

Tyler Evans: 00:28:02

to understand this about like, your assignment has power over

Tyler Evans: 00:28:06

any situation you're dealing with your situation had to

Tyler Evans: 00:28:10

submit to the power of your assignment.

Tyler Evans: 00:28:13

Right?

Saylor Cooper: 00:28:14

That's right.

Saylor Cooper: 00:28:17

Reginal D Sherman: And, you know, oh, fast for the podcast

Tyler Evans: 00:30:18

you know, we are great for this man. This man right here. I'm

Tyler Evans: 00:30:23

telling you right now we have so much in common. We were both

Tyler Evans: 00:30:26

born three months premature. We both had a twin, whose eyes

Tyler Evans: 00:30:30

reversed whenever they were a few months, or, you know, few

Tyler Evans: 00:30:34

months into their birth into their life, whatever. Except he

Tyler Evans: 00:30:39

had a twin sister. I had a twin brother and I still have a twin

Tyler Evans: 00:30:42

brother. Of course, I live with him and his wife. And yeah. And

Tyler Evans: 00:30:48

it's pretty amazing. And we both saw the same doctor in Detroit,

Tyler Evans: 00:30:51

Michigan.

Saylor Cooper: 00:30:52

And God has put us on this journey of V together

Saylor Cooper: 00:30:56

and we met in college. How about that?

Tyler Evans: 00:30:59

Yes, we did. We met in a club called the barrelling

Tyler Evans: 00:31:01

pain club at Stephen F. Austin University necrosis. And I'm

Tyler Evans: 00:31:06

telling you, man, this guy, you know, for a while, was, you

Tyler Evans: 00:31:11

know, employed a little from hear from time to time, but then

Tyler Evans: 00:31:15

eventually he just said, You know what, these employers, they

Tyler Evans: 00:31:18

don't want to work with me, well, guess what, I'm gonna do

Tyler Evans: 00:31:20

my own thing. And I'm gonna make my own company. And now, it's

Tyler Evans: 00:31:25

just a matter of hopefully getting off the ground, getting

Tyler Evans: 00:31:28

the profit going and then hiring others. Right. And that's why we

Tyler Evans: 00:31:32

can use your help reginal D, if you can promote my events, that

Tyler Evans: 00:31:35

would be great. Absolutely. And not only the events, but the

Tyler Evans: 00:31:38

podcast, the radio station, we have a radio station called real

Tyler Evans: 00:31:41

Tyler Evans: 00:32:08

Reginal D Sherman: Send it to me? Yeah, absolutely. Because,

Tyler Evans: 00:32:12

because your your interview, I just signed a contract with a

Tyler Evans: 00:32:16

radio station in Atlanta. And then they don't they were and

Tyler Evans: 00:32:40

potentially see Yeah. Yeah, well, I do it. If you don't have

Tyler Evans: 00:32:48

anything else, it was so great to have you on hope without

Tyler Evans: 00:32:52

sight providing hope and the dark. Tyler take us home with

Tyler Evans: 00:32:57

our customary ending police.

Tyler Evans: 00:33:00

Absolutely. So basically, we always ask this

Tyler Evans: 00:33:04

very important question. And it is, how do you? How do you, you

Tyler Evans: 00:33:11

know, respond to people who feel they have no hope in life.

Tyler Evans: 00:33:18

Reginal D Sherman: The way I respond to people that says they

Tyler Evans: 00:33:20

have no hope in life, is that the first thing you got to

Tyler Evans: 00:33:24

understand that God created you for a specific reason. You are

Tyler Evans: 00:33:31

no less than no matter where you come from whatever you have in

Tyler Evans: 00:33:35

life. You are built different. But you just got to believe in

Tyler Evans: 00:33:42

yourself. And you got to walk in who you are. As long as you

Tyler Evans: 00:33:48

believe once you believe in yourself. Can't nobody take that

Tyler Evans: 00:33:51

away from you. Once you understand life, can't take that

Tyler Evans: 00:33:57

away from you. Because here's the thing I always tell people

Tyler Evans: 00:34:03

don't quit. Picture this? If you drive down the freeway and the

Tyler Evans: 00:34:10

car and you stop the car in the middle of freeway what's gonna

Tyler Evans: 00:34:13

happen? You're gonna run over, right? That's right. Yeah.

Tyler Evans: 00:34:18

Right. Life is like a freeway is meant for you to keep moving

Tyler Evans: 00:34:23

forward. It's not meant for you to quit. Don't quit your life is

Tyler Evans: 00:34:28

like a freeway. Yeah. If you don't like the lane you in you

Tyler Evans: 00:34:32

can always change lanes, but you got to keep moving forward.

Saylor Cooper: 00:34:34

You can't stop change course.

Saylor Cooper: 00:34:36

Reginal D Sherman: But you can't stop and let your people go

Saylor Cooper: 00:34:40

wrong is that they quit on life because situations or

Saylor Cooper: 00:34:45

circumstances, but you got to understand this. God got your

Saylor Cooper: 00:34:49

bed yesterday. You just got to put in the work.

Tyler Evans: 00:34:55

Sack. And you know what's interesting about your

Tyler Evans: 00:34:58

story is you are in that position. Sure to where you felt

Tyler Evans: 00:35:00

you had no hope and you almost killed yourself. Right? Right.

Tyler Evans: 00:35:04

But you didn't. Because God said, Wait a minute, I still

Tyler Evans: 00:35:08

have an assignment for you. It's not your time to go yet. Right?

Tyler Evans: 00:35:12

God's gonna call us all this home at one point. Yes, he is.

Tyler Evans: 00:35:17

It says it is appointed unto man wants to die. And after this the

Tyler Evans: 00:35:20

judgement. It's in Hebrews 927. So yeah.

Tyler Evans: 00:35:25

Reginal D Sherman: Well, you got to understand your life once you

Tyler Evans: 00:35:30

understand your life. Did you understand your assignment?

Saylor Cooper: 00:35:34

That there's no better word to pick it. Yeah, to

Saylor Cooper: 00:35:36
