Isaac Crockett:

Welcome to this Friday edition of our Stand in the Gap today here on Stand in the Gap. We like to look at things from a biblical worldview, not just from a religious worldview or a so- called Christian worldview or even a so- called biblical worldview, but we like to tackle the issues of faith and culture. Sometimes we call things cultural things that are really spiritual things or political when it’s, again, spiritual. But we like to look at biblical truth. And today we’re going to dive into a little bit maybe of entrepreneurship. We’re going to dive into bold Christian witness, the spiritual battles, these supposed cultural conflicts, and a lot more hopefully. I’m Pastor Isaac Crockett, and I’m looking forward to introducing you to a first time Stand in the Gap Today guest, Paul Brown. He’s the founder of Wasson Watch Company. Paul, thanks so much for taking time to be with us today.

Paul Brown:

Isaac, thanks for having me. It’s great to be here.

Isaac Crockett:

Paul, I don’t know that we’ll be able to unpack all of your biography, who you are, but you do have a really neat military background that plays a very important role on everything really we’ll talk about today. You have a love for God. You’re the founder of a watch company, and the mission of that company is to create exceptional time pieces that glorify God and speak truth boldly in a culture that desperately needs it, solely day of gloria, abolish abortion, and packs Americana. I think that right there gives a little bit of a flavor of who Paul Brown is. But Paul, can you go ahead and introduce yourself to us since this is your first time on, maybe a little bit of an overview, highlighting some of the things about you that God has used to put you involved with the things you’re involved in and to bring you to the point you are in your life right now.

Paul Brown:

Yeah, sure. Well, just first a little bit of the origin. I live in Texas, but I was born in Arkansas and my dad, he’d been a Marine Corps infantry officer and then he’s worked in ministry for pretty much my whole life. And I’ve sort of fallen his footsteps, followed in his footsteps. I served in the Marine Corps from 2005 to 2010, working in intelligence as a cryptological linguist and ended up stationed at an NSA site and deployed to Iraq in that role. Then I, in 2010, moved to the civilian side, worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency for a while in the DC area, then came back to Texas in 2014 where I’ve done just a bunch of different stuff. I ran for office for US House in 2016. I’ve done a lot of writing. I’ve worked in banking. I’ve worked for a couple of organizations advocating for the preborn, a group called Love Life, which works to get churches more involved as well as a group called Abolish Abortion Texas, which is focused on breaking equal protection under the law to preborn babies.

And then I started a Wasson Watch company in 2018, and it was sort of a slow build from kind of starting it with the idea to selling, but now we’ve been actually selling watches since 2022.

Isaac Crockett:

So it’s an interesting thing, your background there with the army intelligence and strong Christian faith, having preachers and pastors in your close family, you’re a homeschool dad, you’re a patriotic person who believes the Bible and all the things. And when I’m seeing some of your stuff on social media, I was like, “I like this guy.” He’s the kind of guy that we really like, but the Lord knows how he works. But I probably never would have come to know you had it not been through your Wasson watch company. I like watches, but I also just get a kick out of the things. You use the social media and the light that’s been shown on your watch company to spread truth and sometimes through humorous ways and very serious ways as well. And I think it was something that really caught my attention just a few weeks ago was a funny post about the Strait of Hormuz or whatever, but then it got me seeing all of your other posts and things that were so much alike.

And I was like, “Oh, I got to reach out to this guy.” And now I’m realizing, well, there’s a lot of information you know with your military intelligence background, but the watch company, it’s a very interesting thing. And it’s one of those great reminders to me that we don’t have to be pastoring a church to be presenting the gospel, to be seeking first the kingdom of God and influencing people. In fact, all of us in our daily lives should be using those opportunities just like you did when a post gets a lot of attention. Let’s bring attention to God. But can you tell us a little bit about your watch company? For one thing, what is in the name, Wasson Watch Company, and then maybe tell us a little bit about the watches you make and that part of your life too.

Paul Brown:

Yeah, absolutely. So I’ve always been somewhat entrepreneurial. I had a lawn business in high school and I had a number of other businesses that were sort of side projects I’d started over the years. And it was while I was working in banking, again, it was 2018 that I knew I wanted to start a business, but something more substantive, something that wouldn’t be a side project, but would be kind of the whole project from a vocational perspective. And I started getting into watches and a lot of people are not familiar with automatic mechanical watches. I certainly wasn’t until maybe 2016 or 17. And I found out about them, basically an automatic mechanical watch is a watch that uses a movement without a battery. So it has a rotor in it that’s asymmetrically weighted so that every time you move, it moves and it in turn winds the watch.

And as I learned about these watches, I just became fascinated. I’d always loved watches without even knowing about the automatic movements. I thought, man, it’d be really cool to be involved in this from a business perspective. And I just had this idea of a specific watch in mind that I wanted to see that I wasn’t really what I envisioned. I wasn’t finding it on the market. And I was like, “I’ll just see if I can make it. ” And so I started working on the design and the product even before I had the name. And the same time I started thinking about the name and I was praying about it and really kind of every step of the way sort of praying about whether I should start this project or not and so on, but praying for guidance on a name. And one night I was just lying in bed and I was thinking about my great grandfather, Harold Wasson.

And he had been a mining engineer born in Iowa in the late 1800s. And when World War I rolled around, he joined the US Army and he deployed to France and he was a captain. We don’t know exactly what he did in the army, but after the war he came back and did, he was a petroleum engineer, traveled all over Latin America, looking for oil and then buying land and selling it to governments and large oil companies. But one of the reasons I went with his name and our logo is a castle that looks like a W.

Even though I don’t know for sure what he did in the army, I know he was an engineer and he may have been in the Army Corps of Engineers and of course that’s a storied kind of tradition there. There’s all kinds of things to unpack right there, but the insignia for the Army Corps of Engineers is a castle. And so there’s just a lot of layers of meaning in his name and the logo and how it all kind of comes together. And I really wanted something that actually meant something to me, not just kind of a marketing story, if you will.

Isaac Crockett:

When we come back, I want to talk to you about things that you’re very active talking about online, but I do want to say that the watches that are made at Watson Watch, some very, very high reviews on them. These are watches that in many ways are comparable to like a Rolex or Omega that cost huge amounts of money. These cost a fraction of that, but done very well. And that’s one of the neat things is to see Christians that do what they do at a high level, understanding that whatever we do, we do it for God’s glory. But you have this background in intelligence and deciphering things, literally deciphering messages and we want to pick your brain. We’re going to take a quick time out to hear from our partners. I’m going to come back and talk with Paul Brown more about some of the issues and current events that are going on today.

All right. Well, welcome back to the program. I’m Pastor Isaac Crockett and today is a first time guest to our program, Paul Brown from Wasson Watch Company and I’ve always liked clocks and watches. My mom grew up in Holland, but her mother was Swiss. And so we had some very interesting cuckoo clocks and other fancy clocks growing up. I remember my dad having an automatic watch like what Paul was talking about that winds itself just from the kinetics of emotions in your arm and something that when he passed away was passed on to one of my brothers, you don’t see people passing heirloom cell phones down to their children, but you do see people investing in and handing down heirloom watches and clocks and things. And so somebody, Christian entrepreneur catches my eye and then I start realizing he has a lot of understanding of world events, which makes sense now that I know his military intelligence, defense intelligence background.

And so this is a Christian brother that I’ve been very glad to get to know in the last few weeks or less. And one of the areas that is confronting the church, confronting Christian families, whether you homeschool your kids or send them to a Christian school or they’re in a public school or something else, we’re being confronted with all these things. And one of the issues that I don’t think I had heard of until here at the American Pastors Network working with Mark Christian, who many of you remember his story, how he came to know the Lord after being an imam and a very prominent Muslim brotherhood family in Egypt. And Mark Christian used this term, this term of Crislam, this Christianity and Islam mixing together. And we’re seeing a lot of that right now. I mean, in the news right now, we’ve seen Pope Leo criticizing US actions in Iran while at the same time making high profile things like his high profile visit to a mosque recently.

And I just want to kind of look at this. How should Christians discern between a goal of being peacemakers, but genuine peacemakers versus dangerous compromises that undermine the uniqueness of the gospel by trying to somehow pretend that Islam is some sort of peaceful religion when that’s not what it is. So Paul, let me ask you about some of this stuff that’s been happening. And you’re not a Roman Catholic, but we see what’s happening in the Roman Catholic church and a lot of times it spreads into other churches as well. But we’ve seen their Pope, Pope Leo, I think he’s the 14th Pope Leo, but he recently visited the great mosque of Algiers, removed his shoes, stood in silence before their little special, I don’t know, kibble or whatever. And he referred to the space there as, I think he said it was proper to God.

I’m interested, Paul, as you look at this, and you’re used to looking through propaganda, you’re used to finding what the real messaging is inside of things, but how does a move like that from a supposed Christian leader of the Roman Catholic church, how does this align with biblical understanding? Or maybe I should better say, how did this conflict with biblical understanding that the Allah of the Quran is an idol? It’s not the real God. It’s not the Yeshua of scripture. It’s not the triune God of the Bible. And what do you think this is really saying about the direction of what we could say is the Catholic Muslim dialogue going on here?

Paul Brown:

Yeah, absolutely. There’s a lot to unpack there. A couple things to understand. One is it is Catholic doctrine. It’s in the Catholic catechism, their catechism 8:41 that describes the God of Islam as being the same God as Catholicism, as what Christians worship. And I think to the uninformed Christian, maybe the Christian who’s not read through the Bible carefully and closely and so on and so forth, that you could fall for that. You could say, “Well, wait, what does Allah mean?” Well, Allah is the Arabic word for God. And if you’re describing this God as a monotheistic God, and if you’re looking at some of the writings in the Quran in Islam and they’re saying that, “Oh, we worship the same God that the Jews worshiped, that the Christians worship, and this is kind of the next revelation, similar to what you see described amongst Latter Day saints from their writings.” You could say, “Oh, well, they’re saying it’s the same.

Maybe it’s the same. They just have the wrong take on him.” It’s like, no, that’s not what it is. You can’t just say that you’re worshiping the same God, but then describe that God that you’re worshiping as very different from the one that we worship, right? The God of Islam, Allah, is not a forgiving God. It is a God that is bloodthirsty. It is a God that does not have the same moral framework as our God. One of the ways we know who God is, is the moral framework that he provided to us. You look at really kind of frightening examples where Muhammad married a very, very, very young girl when she was six years old, Aisha, and then consummated that marriage when she was nine. This is not the kind of biblical morality that Christians and even Jews are familiar with. And so it is, I would argue, heretical to say that Muslims worship the same God.

And what we see unfolding before us is I think the long-term fruits of liberalism and pluralism and globalism making their way into the Catholic church. And we see it. We can see it on the Protestant side too as well, amongst many of the more progressive Christian denominations, but in this case, we’re seeing it heavily on the Catholic side. And what I’m concerned about, when I think about, okay, what is the point in all this? Why is it going this direction is that it is the move about power

Isaac Crockett:

Because

Paul Brown:

Think about large global world religions. You’ve got Islam, you’ve got Catholicism, and if there is a genuine move to kind of ally these different religions, Catholicism and Islam, you have massive voting blocks, you’ve got massive human capital behind that, and you can try to change the power dynamics at play significantly through such an alliance.

Isaac Crockett:

It’s an interesting supposed alliance, because again, as things are coming out this week, and I think this has been going on since even maybe Pope Benedict, but I’ve seen some reports, and you correct me because you probably know more about this, but it looks like even in the Vatican archives and their library area, they’ve got a little space set aside for like a Muslim prayer room. And so here you have the Pope going in a very respectful way to a mosque, but it doesn’t seem that we see it going both ways. We often have this where imams want to come into our churches, even our evangelical churches and say, “Oh, we want to talk to you and tell you and assure you of who we are, ” but you don’t see them inviting evangelical pastors or Roman Catholic priests to go to their mosque to talk to the men, because the women aren’t allowed in there, aren’t allowed to worship, but talk to the men gathered at their mosque.

And it’s an interesting, supposed alliance and it raises a lot of red flags, but I want to get to another important point. And that is that there are some even supposed right leaning conservative talk podcast people and things that are kind of pushing this idea that Islam is more similar to Christianity than we realize, and we’ve talked about their version of God, the true God of the Bible versus Allah of the Quran, but now we’re even talking about Jesus. And there’s been, again, this week it’s kind of reared up again, but this is nothing new that they’re trying to say, “Oh, well, we respect Jesus. Jesus is a prophet of Islam and you’ve been very vocal about this. So I’ll just let you talk about how can we respond as Christians loving our Muslim neighbors, but yet truthfully about the difference again between the true Jesus of the Bible and the version of Jesus or per version of Jesus that the Quran in Islam pushes.”

Paul Brown:

Yeah, no, that’s a great question. And I’ve had this question come up a lot or question or opposition where people have said, “Well, don’t argue with this idea that they worship the same God. Our main goal is to evangelize them, right? And so we want to find common ground.” And it’s like, no, if you’re saying they worship the same God as us already, you’ve already undermined the opportunity to evangelize. What are we doing if they worship the same God? So you need to start with the truth and you’re never going to get anywhere in terms of the truth if your established truth right out of the gate is a lie. So that’s where we start. And then with Jesus, there’s this convenient element in the Quran that Muhammad wrote or his followers wrote saying he said it years later, of course, was that the scriptures, both the Old Testament and New Testament are holy scriptures.

That’s something that is noted in the Quran. And so that’s a great starting point to say, “Well, your own holy book, the Quran says that the Bible is true. So let’s talk about the Bible.” Now, if you’ve never talked with a Muslim before about this, you may not have encountered their objections, which is they’ll say, “Well, the original Bible was correct, but it’s been corrupted, and you can go into all the history of canonization and all these other things.” It sort of comes a back and forth, but by all means, we always start with truth. And the truth is not just important for the purposes of evangelism, it’s important for our own witness, it’s important for our own integrity of worshiping God. God does not want us to lie about him. He doesn’t want us to take his name in vain. And so if we are making claims or accepting claims about God that are not true, that is a form of taking God’s name in vain and God hates that and it’s sinful.

So yeah, there’s a lot of reasons we should not accept

Isaac Crockett:

That. I really like how you pointed that out. We have to go back to the truth. You can never just try to go along to get along. That kind of compromise doesn’t help. It doesn’t help us, but it doesn’t help that person come to know who Jesus really is to be set free of their sins and define eternal life in Jesus Christ. I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but we’re coming right up into our break, but just a real, real quick question. How does this affect your business? You speak very boldly about this 20 second answer. How does this affect business for you?

Paul Brown:

Yeah, it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes people really appreciate what I say and they’re like, “Oh man, I want to buy from a company that reflects my same values.” And some people get really mad. And at the end of the day, you just have to tether your answers to the truth, regardless of how people react. That’s

Isaac Crockett:

Right. We go back to the truth. The truth of the Bible, Jesus Christ is the way the truth in the life. We want to take a quick break, hear from some more of our partners, and then we’ll be right back on Standing the Gap today talking with Paul Brown of Wasson Watches. And we’ve looked at this chrislam and the danger there, but we want to look at some other false teachings. All right. Well, welcome back to this program. I’m Pastor Isaac Crockett. And joining me today is watchmaker extraordinaire, Paul Brown. And I do wonder if you’re listening, and I almost asked our producer, Tim, this because he sometimes comes up to the microphone right now, but I’m not sure if he’s available. I wonder, are you a watch person? Do you still wear a watch? I know a lot of people just rely on their cell phone.

I know I personally like to wear a watch. Sam’s not on, but he wears a watch. Usually if I’m getting up in the morning, or especially if I’m walking out of the door of my house, watch on in some sort of pocket knife or multi-tool in my pocket and a handkerchief. That’s just kind of how I was raised, I guess you’d say. But I’m curious, do you wear a watch? So our guest today, he likes watches and makes some really, really nice watches at Wassan Watch Company, but Paul also has a background not only in watches, but in military, in the Marines and in other defense intelligence and intelligence guy for the military, as well as the greatest intelligence, knowing scripture growing up in a Christian home, a dad who was in the Marines and then became a pastor and a minister. And so he loves the Lord.

He loves the word of God. He loves God’s people and he has a lot to say. He has a following of people that do listen to him. He’s been on a number of podcasts and different opportunities as well as his social media pages for his business, as well as personally. We see you, Paul, standing for the truth, staining in the gap for truth. And we really appreciate that and are glad to have you on today. We’ve been talking about Chrislam, and that’s this idea of Christianity and Islam mixing. And we’ve been talking about the Roman Catholic church especially. Now, again, this is something going on outside of just the Roman Catholic Church. I think all churches are being faced with this invasion of trying to get people to accept Islam as some sort of peaceful religion that it isn’t. And so it was important that we talk about those terms, and I think we’ve spent many programs on that, and you and I could spend a lot more time talking about it.

But it is interesting to see it happening so boldly right now within the Church of Rome. And I think according to many media reports, it’s exciting to see even our own co-host, Dr. Dave Kistler, an evangelist has been talking about large numbers of young people, generation Z and generation alpha are seemingly coming to the Lord. There’s some revivals that are being reported. We are encouraging parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles and anybody who’s a true Christian to disciple those who are making decisions for Christ because there’s a fear that some of them still have no biblical worldview, but we’re also seeing as this interest in religion increases, even an interest in Christianity, there’s a large part of that movement that seems to be moving towards the Roman Catholic Church and the history of the Roman Catholic teachings and things. And so we’ve talked about this in other programs, but I think it’s coming time to talk about it again, that there are many … I think especially here in America, there’s a lot of Catholics that maybe don’t fully understand all the dogmas, all the teachings of the Roman Catholic church, and they claim to be Catholic, but a lot of American Catholics we have found are very disappointed with the direction their church is going, with Pope Benedict and now Pope Leo.

And in some cases, I think there are people who claim to be Catholic, but might be unaware of the conflict between, again, these church teachings or dogmas and what the Bible teaches or what we talk about in our daily programs with a biblical worldview. So Paul, looking at this from the sola scriptura perspective, the biblical worldview perspective, what do you see? And again, so many people kind of looking at Catholicism say, “Well, that looks really neat to me. Maybe they grew up in a Christian home or maybe they grew up at Atheist and they’re just coming to find interest in the Bible now, but what do you see as some of the most urgent, false teachings from the Roman Catholic Church that everyday believers should be aware of so that we can examine those teachings compared to the Bible?”

Paul Brown:

Yeah, great question. Let me acknowledge just a couple of things. One, I think you mentioned already that there are some younger people who are drawn to the Catholic church, maybe didn’t grow up with the Catholic tradition. And there’s a lot going on in our society that is moving towards post-modernism and more fake and virtual and on the computer. And people crave that which is real and they look at the Catholic church with a lot of its tradition, very old tradition and not trying to necessarily keep up with the times in certain ways that it appears, and that draws them in. And the other thing I want to acknowledge is like, look, there are a lot of Catholics who have disagreements with the Catholic church. I’m not going to say that a person who is Catholic is not a Christian, right? There’s plenty of Catholics who have, I think, legitimate, deep relationships with Jesus Christ, but I think it is good for people to know what it is that they’re actually looking at and what they’re getting into because there is this veneer of traditionalism.

You hear this buzzword, trad, whatever, trad Catholic, trad, whatever, but the Catholic church itself has become increasingly progressive over the years. If you’re looking for traditionalism in terms of the way things appear in ceremony and dress and the liturgy, there’s a very structured service, well, there are more structured services within Protestantism that exist, but really what matters most is what do we describe and know to be true and fundamentally true and deeply true. One of my favorite passages in the Bible is two Timothy 3:16, which says that all scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for proof, for correction and for training and righteousness. And it goes on to say in verse 17, “The man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” We need to recognize that the Bible is true and it is God’s active living word. It is relevant for us and everything else outside of that is suspect.

At best, it’s suspect, at worst, it’s noise or it’s deceptive and mankind throughout the history of the existence of God’s word has made the mistake of trying to add to it, trying to look for the truth elsewhere. You see it, I think even in Jesus day, when he was in his ministry on earth, that there was this adding to the scripture and making burdens heavier in terms of like sort of the legalism of the Pharisees of the day. And you can see it today even in Protestant traditions where people will put more importance and focus more carefully on say what some of the reformed writers like John Calvin and Martin Luther said versus the scripture themselves and in the Catholic church, you see the same thing. So we need to be aware of that the really big heirs, like one, putting the Pope on par or above what the Bible says, and this is a fallible man.

You look at the current Pope who is basically defending Islam and going very soft on Islam and so on, and you can see that he’s fallible. Why would you say that he has this position of authority above the Bible or on par with the Bible when you can tell very clearly that he is not God, that he doesn’t speak for God. And when you unpack that, you go a layer deeper, you start to realize, “Hey, the idea of a Pope is not a biblical one.” So some people will think, “Oh man, I want to go to the Catholic tradition because this is the original church the way God meant it to be. ” It’s like, no, the Catholic churches, we know it now became what it is over the course of hundreds and hundreds of years. It’s not like Jesus ascended to heaven and boom, Catholic church, it looks exactly like it does today, not even close.

It wasn’t even till the 300s that I’d say it even began to resemble this, but we could focus on many different areas here, but one more thing I’ll say about it is Matthew 16, in which a lot of people interpret that passage to say that Jesus appointed Peter as the first Pope, that’s not what it says. Jesus said, “On this rock, I will build my church.” This rock that he’s talking about there is not referring to Peter, it’s referring to Peter’s confession as of Jesus Christ as being Lord and Messiah. And that’s what Christians need to focus on is not like … The church is a good thing. The church was established by Jesus, but we’re not saved by the church, right? Our salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and that faith, that declaration of faith, that is what Jesus Christ has built his church upon.

Isaac Crockett:

Amen to that, and it’s important to understand what you’re doing right now, and this is what you do on your social media a lot, is you’re contending for the faith. And we’re getting close to another time to listen to our partners, another end of a segment, but we have about a minute or so left. Can you just kind of talk to us a little bit about this call to contend for the faith, to defend our faith, I guess you could say, from Jude. We often talk about that and maybe apply that to today, why we need this publicly, why we need this in our social media, in our churches, in our family settings, why we need to know how to contend for the faith.

Paul Brown:

Yeah. The Bible describes believers as stewards of the mysteries of God, which what an awesome title. We have the truth. We’re stewards of the truth and we live in a time where I think people are often afraid to speak up about the truth because of the consequences. And those consequences are often implied. They’re often social like, “What is this person going to think of me if I say this? How is this going to affect our friendship? How is this going to affect my relationship? How’s this going to affect my job?” And we need to recognize that the eternal is more important than the temporal, right? The temporal, the now that we see the reality in, we’re in His shadows of the eternal. And God has given us a job to do to speak truth, certainly to share the gospel specifically, but to be stewards of God’s truth to others.

And so yeah, we must contend for the faith to ourselves, to fellow believers, and to non-believers alike. And we can do it without fear because I shouldn’t fear the one who can destroy the body. I should fear the one who can destroy the body and the soul in hell as Christ said.

Isaac Crockett:

So true. Well, stay tuned. We’re going to be wrapping up in just a few moments. We’re going to hear from our partners again and then come back to talk to Paul Brown, somebody who is experienced in defending our nation and in intelligence used for national security, but also an intelligence needed for the church and for Christian individuals today. We’re going to take a quick break. We’ll be right back to wrap things up on Standing the Gap today. Well, welcome back to the program. I’m Pastor Isaac Crockett, and we are talking with Paul Brown, who has a background in marine intelligence deployed to help cipher signals and figure out propaganda things, different parts of the world, and then working in our national security and somebody who grew up with a strong biblical worldview and somebody who’s been helping us unpack some of the propaganda, some of the hidden messages and the culture of our day, some of the false messages and bring us back to the truth, which is the word of God, the written word of God, the living word of God, Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life.

And if you’ve enjoyed this program, you can go to our app. You can listen to this again. You could share this program. You can share parts of it. You can share the transcript of it at our app, Stand in the Gap app. It’s on iTunes or the Android app market. It’s free, actually. And you can also use our website and things, but you can also go into our app or to our website and you can find all of our archives, radio and TV. You can look up other programs we’ve done with Catholicism a few months ago. Dr. Jamie Mitchell did a really good program on Catholicism and understanding it through a biblical worldview. And we’ve done a lot on Islam. And you could go back and look at interviews we’ve done with Mark Christian or other people about Islam, about the red green alliance between communism and Islam and how they’re trying to use each other.

So many things like that available in our archives, which you can access online for free or through our app. And you can use that then to share it, to teach yourself or to maybe share with somebody. And again, even today, we’re talking about some things that you may have younger friends or relatives or somebody from your church that are interested in some of these things and they would really find what Paul is talking about helpful. Share it with them, share the app or share this archive with them, share this program with them. They could be listened and used again. And we’re so thankful for all of you that do support us. But even if you’re not able to give anything financially, you could support us through your prayers and support us by telling other people about this. Where maybe if you listen to it on radio, you can tell them where it’s broadcast at and when you listen, or maybe you’re listening on radio, but you could share it digitally to somebody.

We’re on all the podcast platforms as well. Well, all right, Paul, we’re wrapping things up here. It’s just crazy how fast these programs go. But speaking of that, we need to be redeeming the time. My dad was saved out of a rough background. He was a pastor until the Lord called him home. He was a pastor for several decades. And his favorite verse in the Bible was from Ephesians chapter five, verses 15 and 16. And he loved talking about redeeming the time because the days are evil. And he thought about the time he didn’t redeem before he became a Christian. And his goal was to buy back the time, to make best use of the time, to walk circumspectly, not as a foolish person, carefully, not foolishly redeeming the time because the days are evil. And in our culture, there’s a lot of time that needs to be redeemed and that’s something you’re trying to do by taking a strong stand even in your watch company.

But what are some ways that you have seen that work? What are some practical ways for Christians to do that, just that, to redeem the time?

Paul Brown:

Yeah. There’s so many. And I think it starts with having the right perspective about priorities in life. Why as a human do I exist? And that’s to glorify God, to be obedient to God, to be faithful to God, to love God. And so when I start with that and I know what I’m doing, then it’s like, okay, well, how do I do that? How do I love God? How am I faithful to him? By being obedient, he’s commanded us in his word. One verse I love is Micah six: eight. We put it on the back of our field watches, which is to do justice and love kindness and walk humbly with your God. It’s like, where do I go? What do I do? Do that, do those things. And so certainly that plays out in the little interactions day to day, how we treat our families.

Are we loving? Are we thoughtful? Are we patient? Are we kind? How we treat our coworkers? How we treat our friends? But also then, how are we intentional with the time we have? We live in an era of unprecedented wealth and luxury and probably have more spare time than most people in history. Again, are we being intentional with that time? There are things that need work, right? We should be reading our Bibles, we should be praying, but we should be looking out for the weak and the downtrodden. I think about Proverbs 24, talks about rescue those who are being taken to death, hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. We are still in the midst of an abortion genocide. Over the last 50 plus years, more than 70 million babies have been killed in the womb, and that’s ongoing. A lot of people are mistakenly under the impression that that has ended because of the end of Roe v.

Wade, or even that it’s been seriously reduced, it hasn’t. In fact, abortion numbers are up compared to what they were prior to the overturn of Roe v. Wade just a couple of years ago. And that’s because the laws, there’s no law in any state that makes abortion truly illegal. There are 13 states that restrict it quite a bit compared to others, but it’s still legal there as long as it is done by the mother through the use of mail order pills and such. And so we don’t have equal protection and that’s something that everyone can work on by praying for it and by reaching out to their state representatives and seeing if there’s already an effort in their state and joining that. And if not, then helping to start it up. And that’s one of many examples. I don’t think everyone has to be involved in the exact same thing, but trust me, there are ways to redeem our time and they’re worthwhile ways.

And on this particular topic, because I talk a lot about America and Pax Americana, this idea of a global, a certain amount of peace due to American supremacy and things like that. But I just got to tell everyone the truth. We’re not going to see a golden era if we’re in the midst of continuing to genocide our own children. We’ve got to understand that. And so if we really do want to see a golden era, well, man, that’s how you redeem your time is you help end that genocide.

Isaac Crockett:

We could spend whole programs on some of this, but this idea, what does it mean to really make abortion illegal and to search for that? I think along with what you’re talking about, we have a lot of human trafficking and a huge, huge increase in human trafficking. And I believe there is a very strong correlation between that and pornography usage. And so what are things that you are doing that maybe you’re being silent about that you could be helping somebody? Maybe there’s a Christian pregnancy healthcare group that you could help young people who are considering this. Maybe there’s somebody in your family or church who’s considering it that if you would talk to them about it, you could help change their mind or you could help them with these things. But what about some of these other things? Just even taking our mind off of ourselves and looking out for others that we can reach out to.

That’s a very convicting thing to do. I don’t know how much time I’ll have to ask you more questions, but you mentioned your field watches. Could you just talk about, you talked a little bit about the automatic watches and stuff, but what is your field watch? What are some of your watches and the practicality of them that they’re not just nice looking watches, but they’re actually durable, nice watches with high standards because that’s what Christians are supposed to do, is to do all to the glory of God.

Paul Brown:

Yeah. Yeah. So right now we have two models. We have the automatic field watch and we have the Dominion Dive Watch, which actually has been on pre-order for the last few months and we’ll be starting to ship out to customers later today, in fact, Friday the 17th or later next week. And they’re both automatic watches. They both have what’s called a sapphire crystal. That means the glass that you look at the dial through is made of sapphire. It’s manmade sapphire. It’s the second hardest glass after diamond. So it will not scratch unless you use a diamond or sapphire or something, don’t do that. They’re both water resistant. The field watch is 100 meters water resistant. The dive watch is 300 meters water resistant. They both feature an automatic Swiss movement. The field watches we have right now are made in Switzerland. The dive watch is actually assembled here in the United States, again, using that Swiss movement.

They’re both made with 316L stainless steel, so it’s very, very hard, durable, stainless steel. And they are very practical. The people I had in mind when I was designing a watch is war fighters. I have this history in the Marine Corps, but I wanted something that people could use in the field that would be durable and last long and do the job it needs to do, very legible writing.

Isaac Crockett:

We’re out of time now, but thank you so much for that. And we praise the Lord for Christian entrepreneurs and for Christians all over in so many different ways, we’re standing in the gap for truth wherever they are. And I pray that you will stand in the gap for truth today wherever you are.
