GOD MODE: FROM DAWN TO DUSK
Watch on YouTube ↗ Read transcript ↓
Summary
In one line: A "God Mode" day in his life, 6:40 am to midnight: prayer in the gardens of his compound, Muay Thai with Coach Julio (his coach of about 8 years), family time, a studio visit and an evening service.
Key moments
- He prays in gardens "because Jesus loved to pray in the garden" — lavender, citrus, grapevines, and olive trees his wife ("a true Arab") planted already decades old. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
- Clip from a service: while a woman spoke, "I saw a demon inside her" — "God takes care of more than what we bring Him."
- Fatherhood: his calm eldest Andrew vs. "wild" baby Sale. "My father and mother were very wealthy; when my father died when I was about 8, everything went downhill" — fending for themselves with siblings Richie, Ellie and Christian; now he loves blessing family and others.
- Studio visit with producer Zack V, whose studio renovation burned in the Palisades fire; talk of Nairobi and Swahili. After service he goes to his own studio "to burn off the remaining anointing" before sleep.

Huh? Got you.
Yeah, I get it.
Why are you so 6:40 in the morning and this is usually how my day starts. Um, we're actually a little bit behind schedule, but um, we saw Salem. He would wake up, get the dogs fed, uh, get them outside, and usually I'll be up at this time. Um, sail and mom will be up at 7:00. So, this is my chance to go and pray and then um, my day starts. So, I'm going to show you where I pray. Let's go.
So, there's a few places I'd love to pray. So, there's this garden up here or there is another garden on this side. I can show you that.
And there is my prayer room up in the mountains. One of this one of those usually would do. And there's another prayer spot down closer to uh the entrance of the of the compound. That's another nice spot. Usually what I'm looking for when I when I want to pray. Isn't that beautiful? The sky. Huh? Usually when I'm I'm trying to pray, I'm just looking for somewhere quiet, comfortable, that if I need to be there for some time, I can be there for some time and speak to God.
I personally love gardens for usual reasons. One of them is because Jesus loved to pray in the garden and I just think gardens are very pure and um beautiful place. Look, spring is definitely here, huh? Lavender.
Then uh my orange trees are I think that's orange, right? I don't know what kind of lemons those are. The wife would know better, but I I wouldn't know. I think this is a peach. So there are times I love to pray here and uh deer come and eat almost everything here. But I love to come and pray here.
Especially because if I sit somewhere like here and the view of that, look at the mountains on that side.
Yeah, it's just so peaceful. We could go this way or should we go out this way cuz that's a little too steep over there. Unless we take the golf cart. I don't want to go that way. or sometimes I even uh pray by the pool.
That's another very very beautiful um peaceful peaceful uh spot. And these are by the way grapes. You can see they're coming back. And in a few weeks it will be all green. Then it'll be like that for months and then the cycle begins again. He looks like he dies and then he comes back to life. Look at all these olive trees.
So my wife being a true Arab planted about 12 actually no more than 12 trees that are about like 80. Yeah, about 60 or 80 years old. I don't know. But I was like that that is smart. Who's going to wait for I'm going to plant an olive tree and wait for 60 years? I'm like, nah, this was genius. So sometimes I love to come and pray here. It's very simple. Nothing to it. The simple chairs and these trees is just peaceful and God gets all the glory.
So, I'm going to spend some time here and then I'll show you what we do next. So, I'll catch you in a little bit.
So, my dogs go in here during the day cuz if we Don't put them in there. They go crazy. I mean, they can run everywhere they want to, but sometimes it gets too crazy when the gardeners come and all that good stuff. But yeah, after I pray, I'll go back in the house. Uh like today is an early day for Moai Muay Thai. So, I have to go and uh work out with Coach Julio by 9:00 a.m. I have to be in the gym starting my workout. So, I don't have too much time. But personally, I hate uh I hate being idle and I don't like not being occupied.
So whenever I get chances to do my thing, I do it. I think an idol mind is the devil's workshop. So I don't like being idol. Either I am resting or I am working or I'm spending time with the family. That's how my days usually go. Um, yeah. So, Big Baba should be going to school anytime now. And Big Bubba is my first born, Andrew. And then, uh, little Baba takes over the day.
We're going to go with the big boy, the genius, the super athlete.
What's up, homeboy?
Are you ever sleeping? Did you ever sleep? Oh, look at you get you're actually getting buff. The lifting is working, huh? Okay, Mr. Abs, I see you. I have a bad tan light. Huh? I have a really bad tan. Oh, where? Right here. Oh, yeah.
Cuz I'm being in the sun, huh? Yeah. Oh, look at you. Yeah, you definitely have that longa body. I see you. I see you. Look at you doing this. Wake up. Come on, dog. You got to clean your room. You're getting into it with your mom because of this. Like, clean your room when you come back from school. Huh?

Okay, go. All right, so check this out. Right, this is kind of cool. So while she's talking to me, I see a demon inside of her and she doesn't even know papa's stomach and give pray for water to drink. Come, come, mama. You came together? Yes, that's my brother. That's your brother? Yes. Okay. Come, come every day. All in this family must go.
Come out. Come out.
Just just it's okay cuz he has a thing. Every devil in this family must go. Every demon. Every demon.
Isn't that crazy? And that's the beauty of God's power is that God is able to go far beyond like what we know, you know. And many times we have this idea that, you know, what I bring before God is what God will take care of. You know, God will take care more than what we bring before him, which is uh which is a beautiful thing. God is so good and he's so kind.
It's it's mindblowing how good God is. See, there's a newborn. They took they take over everything. Now I have like you know baby stroller. Okay, let me make sure I have Oh my god, it's so cold. So cold. Okay, everything is there except my extra small Muay Thai shorts. Maybe I should train with this today. I haven't worn my Huh? Huh? See that? I had this gloves for a while. I love it.
Yeah. Super crazy.
Lord, I need your love right now. Set me on fire. On fire. Just wait for
music
me. Your presence on me.
I love to eat extremely light uh when I'm going to go do any kind of combat um kind of workout. But when I'm working out with Coach O, the lifting is a little bit different. I tried that. I can work out with no food. But I don't know. It's just a little more draining, I guess. I don't know, though. Because fighting is very exhausting, man. I don't think anything is harder than fighting. like my my exhaustion meter like when I think of fighting everything else just looks like it's nothing you know it's kind of difficult to explain but it definitely

He's like, "How confident was that guy to do a celebration dance before he even got into coach?" The whole fight was like, "I'm going to beat Stipe because of his stomach. I'm going to beat that stomach up. He's vulnerable there." He kept saying that from the beginning when the fight was announced. He said it here at the seminar. Yeah.

Uh he's been a big part of the gym, the gym community. Great guy to have around and uh man, if you're looking for some inspiration in and outside of the gym, that's the man right there.

music
So, we just finished our workout. Almost died in there. Wanted to throw up and everything, but now we are done. The next step now is go home and then get ready for meetings and all that. It's only 10:00 a.m. Our day starts kind of early. Let's go. You're rocking with the best. A day with low via Elias. Let's go. I've left the workout place.
We're now fighting home to the
music
best. What a day already. I can't wait to go home and see my baby. My little one is awake now. Laugh and kicking and probably driving people crazy at home. So when I left, he was asleep.
I'm sure he already took his day nap and now he's probably playing or doing something. Even if he's asleep, I'm waking him up. Yeah, having sale is so different than Andrew because their personalities are so different in both of them. I can see myself and I can see, you know, my wife.
But Sale is just wild. You can already tell. Andrew was so much calmer. He's just wild. He wants to see the world. He wants to He wants to touch everything. He wants to stay awake the whole time. Andrew is so much easier. He's just wild. And I think he gets that from his mama.
music
I don't like to sleep. I'm sure that's me. I'm not a big eater, too. And he's starting to show that. Andrew was like that, too. Uh I used to walk around the neighborhood. They used to know me as the dad who feeds his son walking. I would literally feed Andrew um walking around the neighborhood every morning because that's the only way he would eat.
Andrew never drunk more than 2 oz of milk. Uh still eats a lot more than him, but he's starting to drop. Like his food intake is dramatically dropping. So genetics are kicking in, I guess. Um being a dad is so fun. I love being a father, especially getting to give them a life that I enjoyed for a little while. You know, my father and mother were very blessed, very wealthy. And when my father died when I was about 8, everything went downhill. And um so I've known tough life, hard life since then. Uh fending for ourselves with my older brother Richie, my sister Ellie, and Christian.
Uh but now God has blessed me where I can give my children above and beyond what I had and others too. You know my brothers and my sisters, my family and my spiritual family, my you know my extended family, you are able to bless people. That's the beauty of being blessed is that everybody around you also enjoysing what God gives you.
So, I enjoy that. That's probably the one thing I look forward to is always to just see the family blessed continually.
