Can you please explain the difference between KCBC and Copeland University from a logistical standpoint?
John CopelandGUEST
Okay, so KCBC is a Bible college and it's accredited through, I don't remember the name of it, it's an accreditation mainly geared for Bible schools.
John CopelandGUEST
Right now, because of legal reasons, until we're cleared through the Texas Comptroller, we can't call it a university because you have to go through all the processes, right, of accreditation and everything.

Yes, thank you.
John CopelandGUEST
Um, but the, the KCBC, Kenneth Copeland Bible College, is gonna be co- become Kenneth Copeland, uh, Bible Training Center.
John CopelandGUEST
So, you know, it is gonna be geared towards biblical teaching, uh, church growth, uh, praise and worship.
John CopelandGUEST
You can come out of there and you wanna go into the ministry or go into churches or be a pastor.
John CopelandGUEST
Now, you'll get a lot of the same teaching in the university, but it's gonna be, you know, learning the Bible, learning the theology and, and all the stuff that we teach.

John CopelandGUEST
What would you say to somebody that maybe they used to tithe, they quit, or they've never tithed? I know I've had times where for some reason or another I had missed tithes or whatever, but didn't really have the ability to go back and make it up.

Believer's Voice of Victory magazine, built to strengthen your faith one page at a time.
John CopelandGUEST
But when the Bible is saying, bless Israel and you'll be blessed, you have to separate out the difference of what is Israel.
John CopelandGUEST
The nation of Israel, the people that are God's people, the people that believe in God, follows God's ways and worships him.

John CopelandGUEST
How could we have done all that if you weren't blessed? If you were standing on a street corner with a bullhorn...

John CopelandGUEST
How could we have done all that if you weren't blessed? If you were standing on a street corner with a bullhorn...
John CopelandGUEST
and I'm not saying anything about that, like they're doing what they know to do, but you can't reach people like that without money.
John CopelandGUEST
And so I really have a hard time understanding, because people that criticize prosperity and all that stuff, they're on their podcasts trying to sell products, right? They're on their podcast trying to get clicks so they get more money.
18 MINS LATER
John CopelandGUEST
It is, and it seems very difficult, even for Christians, you know, because it's like, that can be so critical and judgmental.
John CopelandGUEST
Like most of the hate that you get online and social media is other Christians.
John CopelandGUEST
Well, you know, I'm saying that and it's like, if they could just go back to very simple, I'm a very simple logic person.
11 MINS LATER
John CopelandGUEST
They hear people say things you said, but they never actually listen, like, to your messages.
John CopelandGUEST
Um, and they never actually understand that what you're saying is coming from the Bible.
John CopelandGUEST
'Cause all they know is what they heard, right? 'Cause you were on with, uh, Bryce Crawford recently, and there was a lot of people commenting.
John CopelandGUEST
And I think people forget, though, that if you start talking, God's going to fill your mouth.
John CopelandGUEST
He will get you there, and He'll say the words to get that person to come to where they need to be.
John CopelandGUEST
You never taught me f- fear, you always taught me faith, and therefore, the, the fear, I never grew up with it.
John CopelandGUEST
You don't have to walk around in fear that something's gonna happen, but you do need to keep your eyes open, and you need to keep an eye on your kids-
Kenneth CopelandHOST
He was training a team to have power of attorney to use His name so that when He left,
John CopelandGUEST
I've went, I've gone to meetings with Mike, you know, and this last year I went to one, and Mike said, "I want you to meet this guy." He said, "He's killed more people than he know.
John CopelandGUEST
He has no idea how many people he's killed." He was a gang member, and he was a hit man for the gang.
John CopelandGUEST
And then he was teaching people in the gang how to kill people, kill them fast, kill them slow.
John CopelandGUEST
Um, and so he walked over there and, and introduced himself to me, and you could see the love of God in his eyes.
John CopelandGUEST
He was locked down so hard, every time he would get out, he, he'd get in a fight and hurt somebody.
Kenneth CopelandHOST
December the 6th, I'll be 90 years old, and it started in 1967, so figure it out for yourself.
John CopelandGUEST
You know what I see in a lot of people, in Christians, I'm talking about born-again, Spirit-filled Christian people, is they know how, they know that they've done things in the past that were wrong.
John CopelandGUEST
So this job's gonna pay me more, but I was supposed to be here, but I'm gonna choose this money over this.
John CopelandGUEST
Or let's say the job you got offered was $100,000 and you were making $50,000, so you're gonna go take the $100,000.
John CopelandGUEST
He said, "Things are gonna go wrong when you're out of the will of God." Not because God's doing it to you, it's just you're in the wrong place.
John CopelandGUEST
You're not in, you're not in the place of connection, and you would, you were happier, more at peace over here when you were making $50,000.
John CopelandGUEST
So this job's gonna pay me more, but I was supposed to be here, but I'm gonna choose this money over this.
John CopelandGUEST
Where let's say the job you got offered was $100,000 and you were making $50,000, so you're gonna go take the $100,000.
John CopelandGUEST
He said things are gonna go wrong when you're out of the will of God, not because God's doing it to you, it's just you're in the wrong place.

John CopelandGUEST
Um, I'm not a preacher, although I act like one, and I was at a Holiday Inn earlier, but, um.

OwenGUEST
I've heard great things about this.
John CopelandGUEST
It's a national program that is by and through and supported by the National Sheriffs Association.
John CopelandGUEST
Well, our jail administrators coined this phrase, making better neighbors or making good neighbors.
John CopelandGUEST
So providing opportunity for those that are in our county jail to get a GED, to maybe work on some skills, to work on parenting, and learning just some basic things that maybe there's some of us that just take that for granted.
John CopelandGUEST
It could be, you know, financial sense or how to balance a checkbook and how to live within a budget.
