having the best day ever. 17 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,660 It's been a crazy day. 18 00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:45,600 She's having a day. 19 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,440 What time is it? 20 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,260 We all have a day. 21 00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:49,800 11.30 in the morning and I'm ready to go to bed. 22 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,940 I am living up and a down world though. 23 00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:54,640 You're right in the middle of it. 24 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,280 We've just had things at the office. 25 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,980 Technical things, just accounting things 26 00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:01,040 that have nothing to do with us. 27 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,120 It's the companies we contract with 28 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,120 and just weird stuff that just feels like a domino effect. 29 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,620 And then I went to get coffee 30 00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:11,660 and I hit my hand on the microwave. 31 00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:13,300 I know you have like a literal bruise. 32 00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,000 It literally burst a blood vessel. 33 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Yuck. 34 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,300 I know, that's what I see when I see old people. 35 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,660 I'm like, I hope I don't ever get that. 36 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:23,000 Well, it'll go away, sweetie. 37 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,840 I hope so. 38 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,680 We'll cover it with something. 39 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,500 So weird. 40 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:26,340 What a day. 41 00:01:26,340 --> 00:01:27,600 We're just having a day. 42 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,940 And you know what I love though about you Annette 43 00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:32,140 and appreciate is that even though you're having 44 00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:35,340 one of those days, you were like, let's do the podcast. 45 00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:36,180 Let's do it. 46 00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:37,260 Let's jump into it. 47 00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:38,760 Thank you for doing that. 48 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,480 Cause in the back of my mind, 49 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,280 I thought she's gonna bail. 50 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,260 She's gonna say, I don't feel good. 51 00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:46,260 I'm not up for this. 52 00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:47,100 I'm in a mood. 53 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,560 I mean, I did think about that. 54 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,500 It crossed your mind. 55 00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:51,340 It crossed my mind. 56 00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:53,300 But here's why I'm glad you did it 57 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,440 and why I think it's important is that 58 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,340 people need to listen to us 59 00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:59,340 and people who listen to us regularly 60 00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:02,000 may think that every day is Friday for us. 61 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,880 That we're living our best life every day. 62 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,380 Living up in a down world is an ideal we all aspire to. 63 00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:11,380 It's not necessarily a reality every day 64 00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:14,120 because things happen, life happens, things break. 65 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,560 But we don't let it take us so far down 66 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,420 that we don't wanna live anymore. 67 00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,300 But we still gotta be, I mean, it's okay to not be okay. 68 00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,000 It's okay to have a moment. 69 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,940 A down moment. 70 00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:25,360 Yeah, or down. 71 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,560 That's why I'm wanting. 72 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,500 And doing the podcast took my mind off 73 00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:29,700 of all the business stuff. 74 00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:30,540 Beautiful. 75 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:32,280 And then I just brought it all back up. 76 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,440 Well, it's all right. 77 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,280 It's all right. 78 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,140 But it's only to say because people need to know 79 00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:37,480 that we're pastors. 80 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,080 We pastor Bridge Church in Fredericksburg, Texas. 81 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,420 We love what we do. 82 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:44,460 We get to do this is our motto. 83 00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:46,780 But the reality is is that life happens 84 00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:50,060 and sometimes things break and things don't go your way. 85 00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:51,800 Things don't work out like you hoped 86 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,000 and you gotta deal with it. 87 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,100 And we're just like anybody else. 88 00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,360 We don't get a free pass. 89 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,000 It's funny because sometimes people think pastors 90 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,740 have the red phone to God. 91 00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:02,540 Well, and I think all you do is sit around 92 00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:05,540 and just drink coffee and pray and read your Bible. 93 00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:07,140 And smile and laugh. 94 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:09,040 We have a business to run too. 95 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,440 There's a business side of what we do 96 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,980 because what people don't realize is there's HR, 97 00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:14,320 risk management. 98 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,480 There's hiring and firing. 99 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,020 There's dealing with people. 100 00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,260 And then we work with a volunteer army. 101 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,020 We don't have positional leverage on anybody. 102 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:24,100 We have to get people and motivate people to go 103 00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:26,500 and inspire and we gotta pay bills. 104 00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,840 I mean, we have a large, large facility 105 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,100 and we've been adding to it and doing a lot. 106 00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:35,600 So there's that side and we wanna do it with excellence. 107 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,100 We wanna be better than any business out there in the world. 108 00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,880 We wanna do it with excellence to the glory of God. 109 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,180 Exactly. 110 00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:44,280 So there's a lot of moving parts here 111 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,180 and it's not just preaching on Sunday morning 112 00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:47,720 or playing guitar on a worship day. 113 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,680 Because we have overhead 114 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120 and we have people's lives at stake. 115 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280 That's what keeps me focused. 116 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,020 My why is bigger than the why nots. 117 00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:58,500 And so I'm always focused on the bigger thing. 118 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,360 Even though these things like got you frustrated 119 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,900 with a certain organization, I'm not gonna mention. 120 00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:04,740 I guess I could. 121 00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:05,560 No, don't. 122 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Okay, don't? 123 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,240 No, no. 124 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,600 So a certain organization that we work with 125 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,540 on their end is having some serious breakdowns 126 00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:15,680 and it's creating havoc for us. 127 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,880 But we could either just swim in that 128 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,920 and be frustrated and angry, which it's okay for a bit. 129 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,120 You gotta give yourself permission to be real, 130 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,380 to be human. 131 00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:25,580 But then we have to back up and go, 132 00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:27,660 wait a minute, what's the bigger thing here? 133 00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:29,260 The bigger thing is I'm gonna be talking 134 00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:32,660 to somebody later today or probably tomorrow morning 135 00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:36,120 whose wife is passing away from cancer. 136 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 And it's a heartbreaking and heart-rending situation. 137 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,460 She's in her 50s, I believe. 138 00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:41,300 60s. 139 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:42,140 She's 60s? 140 00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:43,740 Well, that's what I was told. 141 00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:47,580 Okay, so right around our age then, which is young. 142 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:50,440 And I mean, really, there's no reason why, 143 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,080 if you live a healthy life, 144 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,080 you shouldn't live to be 80, 90, 100 years old. 145 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520 So anyway, just to be at the bedside of this 146 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,160 and be in this situation is heartbreaking. 147 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,980 It is. 148 00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:04,360 And that's what keeps me focused on 149 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,660 and not just dwelling and swimming in the waters 150 00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:11,400 of what we have to deal with on the admin side of things. 151 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800 So I'm super proud of you. 152 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,800 And by the way, you're gorgeous and you make me happy. 153 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800 Oh, there you go again. 154 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,240 You know this week is Valentine's week. 155 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,080 What'd you say? 156 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,940 It's Valentine's week. 157 00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:25,180 It is Valentine's week. 158 00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:26,240 Can you believe it? 159 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,080 It's Valentine's. 160 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,920 I know, I have to keep it. 161 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,740 It's Valentine's. 162 00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,080 We went to HIV yesterday 163 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,980 and I don't think I've ever seen so many heart balloons. 164 00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:36,060 They had chocolate-covered strawberries 165 00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:37,720 all over the front of the produce. 166 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,960 They're out of control. 167 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,120 I mean, the minute you walk in, 168 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,360 you're bombarded with Valentine's flowers. 169 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,600 Did you see all that stuff? 170 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,440 All the chocolate-covered strawberries. 171 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Yes, that's what I just said. 172 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,640 I know, that's what I'm saying. 173 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,200 No, no, no, I heard you, baby. 174 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,040 I'm jumping off of your platform. 175 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,300 I've never seen them do that. 176 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:55,480 But what I was gonna say about, 177 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,180 I know I haven't either, not like that. 178 00:05:57,180 --> 00:05:58,000 Never. 179 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,080 But what I was gonna say about it 180 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,080 is I walked by it and it didn't even tempt me. 181 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,220 I was like, ugh. 182 00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:04,020 No, I was thinking about those strawberries. 183 00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:08,160 If you eat, wait till Wednesday and this was Monday. 184 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,760 They might be a little on the soft side. 185 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,580 They're gonna be yuck. 186 00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:12,820 So I just, yeah. 187 00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:13,820 It didn't appeal to me. 188 00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:16,500 That stuff doesn't faze me anymore. 189 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:18,900 Yeah, carnivore life's been good to us. 190 00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:19,740 It has. 191 00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:23,560 225 days, nearly eight months, 192 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,540 of carnivore. we've been on this journey. 193 00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:26,840 And we're having a blast with it. 194 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:28,100 People think we're weird. 195 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:29,640 We've become social pariahs 196 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,380 because nobody wants to go out and eat with us. 197 00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,280 Like, oh, they can only eat meat. 198 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,640 Well, everybody has meat. 199 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,480 They're afraid that if they eat in front of us. 200 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,920 That's a real issue. 201 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,740 That doesn't bother me. 202 00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:39,580 It doesn't bother us at all. 203 00:06:39,580 --> 00:06:41,080 We're not judging anyone. 204 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,920 No. 205 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,320 But people feel self-conscious. 206 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,660 And so it seems like the invitations to go out 207 00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:48,500 have been a little fear than normal. 208 00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,260 Well, we are going out for a very nice dinner tomorrow night. 209 00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:52,360 I'm looking forward to it. 210 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,260 And it's not all carnivore, 211 00:06:54,260 --> 00:06:56,160 but we're going to have a little treat, 212 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,640 just treat meal, little bit. 213 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,600 You more than

church we pastor. 280 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,680 We've been here for eight years. 281 00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,960 And you can watch messages. 282 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,840 We're doing a series called Mind Wars, 283 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,640 dealing with the battle of the mind, 284 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400 winning the battle of the mind. 285 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,840 And it's been really helpful for people. 286 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,960 I do have to say this. 287 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Go ahead. 288 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,320 As we're going through this, 289 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,000 I think my mind is more bombarded than ever before. 290 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,840 No doubt. 291 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,040 So that needs to be communicated to the body, 292 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,400 to the church as you're preaching that, 293 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,920 because I think it gets worse, 294 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,400 because you're more aware of what is going on in your mind. 295 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,100 The phrase that really we've pulled out of this 296 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:32,760 and that I keep saying over and over 297 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,200 is we have to start thinking about 298 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,840 what we're thinking about. 299 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,440 In fact, Adam Curry wrote me, Adam, my bestie, 300 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,480 he wrote me a note. 301 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680 He wrote us, he did a striper boost. 302 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,520 So go ahead and throw that in there. 303 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,400 77,777 sats, satoshis on value for value. 304 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,480 And he wrote this, think about what you think about. 305 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,760 He put that in quotes. 306 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,800 Thank you for another great tool in our belt 307 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,160 in the mind wars. 308 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,960 Bless you both and all the uppers. 309 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,000 So thank you. 310 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,340 Thank you, Adam, my bro. 311 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,360 But that statement there, 312 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,960 you have to start thinking about what you're thinking about. 313 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,140 Now, when you start doing that, 314 00:10:12,140 --> 00:10:14,980 it's like things that have happened, for example, 315 00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:18,320 this whole back and forth you're having to do 316 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,740 to try to get this situation fixed on their end, 317 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,120 your mind's just going because you're frustrated. 318 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,560 You're like, why is this happening? 319 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,280 You're like, I don't have time for this. 320 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,400 This is a waste of my time, but yet I gotta do it. 321 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400 Help them fix their issue. 322 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,400 And it can take you out. 323 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,120 It can spin you up. 324 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,400 But now you're really thinking 325 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,200 about what you're thinking about. 326 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,960 And it's almost like when you tell yourself 327 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,840 to stop listening to a clock ticking 328 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,000 in the middle of the night when you can't sleep, 329 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,760 the more you say, don't listen to it, the louder it gets. 330 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,560 It's just weird how that happens. 331 00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:54,400 That's true. 332 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,700 But because it shifts your filter. 333 00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:58,960 I also think there's a spiritual component here. 334 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,320 The enemy hates this. 335 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,080 He hates that we're actually beginning to lean in 336 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760 and become the gatekeepers of our mind 337 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,880 where we're saying, no, 338 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,960 I'm not gonna let that stay in my head. 339 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,280 I'm not gonna let that dwell there. 340 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,680 I'm not gonna let that be there. 341 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,000 He hates that. 342 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760 And I love, Pastor Brian got to preach this Sunday. 343 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,600 Oh, he killed it. 344 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,840 It was fantastic. 345 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840 He just kind of started where you left off on Sunday. 346 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,760 And I love how he ended 347 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,400 with us declaring the word of God over our lives 348 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,720 because that's the way to bombard and demolish 349 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,040 these strongholds in our life, especially in the mind, 350 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,960 is by speaking out loud what the Bible says about us. 351 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,880 And I love that. 352 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,800 That was so on point. 353 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,400 He made the point that we have 354 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,200 that the power of our words and declarations. 355 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,720 What's interesting is we served together for years 356 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,960 in Abilene, Texas at Grace Point Church. 357 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,320 And so we've all been together for years 358 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,960 and we have a lot of the same DNA 359 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720 and we have the same spiritual theological DNA. 360 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,240 So a lot of things I'll say, he'll say and vice versa. 361 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,400 And so that's another thing I'm really strong about 362 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360 is the power of our words, the power of declaration. 363 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,600 For those of you that are listening, 364 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,920 there are times when just your back's against the wall 365 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,560 and you're like, I don't know what to do. 366 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,680 And one of the best things you can do 367 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,600 if you wanna demolish the strongholds 368 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,520 that the enemy puts into your life, 369 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,840 which we've defined stronghold as anything 370 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,440 that has a stronghold on you, anything. 371 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,360 Now it can be a good thing. 372 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,760 God can have a stronghold on you. 373 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,000 That's a good thing. 374 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240 But oftentimes it's something that's malevolent and dark. 375 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,560 Could be trauma issues. 376 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,160 It could be triggers from the past. 377 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560 It could be something very spiritual 378 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,280 and dark and demonic or satanic 379 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,760 and where you're under attack. 380 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,760 And we have the ability through speaking the truth. 381 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,080 The truth is light. 382 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800 I mean, we know that and God says he's light. 383 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,960 He says we're salt and light too. 384 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,520 So when we speak light, when we speak truth, 385 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,520 it drives out darkness and eradicates the lies. 386 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,440 Does that make sense? 387 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,280 It does. 388 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,560 So how many, he led us through what? 389 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,320 22 Bible scripture declarations. 390 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,520 When he said 22 at first, I was like, what? 391 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,960 We'll never get, we gotta go. 392 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,880 Two minutes, two minutes he did it. 393 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,720 Oh my gosh. 394 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,560 It was really good. 395 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,560 It was rapid fire, powerful. 396 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:22,680 By the second one, I was like standing up taller 397 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,920 because he had everybody stand up and do this together. 398 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800 And started off kind of quiet and awkward at first. 399 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,240 By the time we got to the end of it, people were shouting. 400 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,320 It was like just declaring God's word, 401 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,200 declaring the power of God's word. 402 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,320 Super, super powerful. 403 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,120 And so I wanna encourage you 404 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,000 when your back is up against the wall 405 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,640 and you don't know what to do, 406 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,520 take God's word and speak it out loud. 407 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Say things like, I can do all things 408 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,080 through Christ who strengthens me. 409 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920 I have been given a future and a hope. 410 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,560 God's not here to take me out. 411 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:56,620 He's here to bring me in. 412 00:13:56,620 --> 00:13:59,240 I mean, speak God's word. 413 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,880 God's blessing is on my life. 414 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,320 I'm blessed coming in, I'm blessed going out. 415 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,520 I mean, you can take the word of God 416 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,560 and turn it and speak it and declare it. 417 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,800 And the question is, who are you declaring it to? 418 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,360 But let me say this, for our new listeners 419 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320 or our listeners who are new to the faith, 420 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,320 there's a book that really helped us in our darkest times. 421 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,280 I remember when we were trying to sell a house 422 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 and we needed it to sell really within, 423 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320 I think we talked about it within 30 days 424 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,840 so that we could move. 425 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,320 And it was at a time in our life 426 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,360 where houses in this area in Southern California 427 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,740 were not selling. 428 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:41,400 I mean, the average time was two years 429 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,480 because of the economy at the time. 430 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,900 And I remember we went to a conference 431 00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:51,800 and the speaker had everybody turn around 432 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,400 and pray for one another. 433 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000 And he said, I've never done this before. 434 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,320 That was huge, that was in Anaheim. 435 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Anaheim. 436 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,000 That was huge. 437 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,040 And he said, but I feel like people 438 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240 are supposed to turn around and pray for the one behind him. 439 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,160 And this couple prayed for us 440 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,200 and he asked us what we wanted in prayer. 441 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,080 And we said, we need a house to sell. 442 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,840 We've got to move in 30 days. 443 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,840 And I don't know how this is gonna happen. 444 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,960 And he said, oh my goodness, 445 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280 of all the people God put me with, 446 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,320 that is where I shine the most. 447 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,200 I've needed to sell a house many times 448 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,920 and know other people who have. 449 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,640 And I've prayed and God has come through. 450 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,880 Well, for one thing, that built our faith up, 451 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,440 just hearing that. 452 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,560 But then we were told about a book by Jermaine Copeland. 453 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,160 And I believe we've talked about it on this podcast before. 454 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,000 It's worth saying again. 455 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,920 But a lot of people, they don't know how to pray 456 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,400 or where to go for a scripture. 457 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,160 This book has many chapters in it. 458 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,040 And what it is, is you can look at a chapter 459 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720 on needing to sell property 460 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,160 or wanting to adopt a child 461 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,520 or how to deal with a child with ADHD 462 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120 or autism or whatever, 463 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,960 whatever situation you find yourself in. 464 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,160 And you can go to that chapter 465 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,120 and you can read the scriptures. 466 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,120 It's a prayer form that's scriptural. 467 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,200 It's all scripture. 468 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920 So when you're saying it, 469 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,520 and it's usually just one page, 470 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,560 it's really short. 471 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,000 And you speak that scripture over that situation. 472 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,720 It is empowering. 473 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,800 And I remember us looking at that 474 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,880 for about on selling our home. 475 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,720 And we began to quote that. 476 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,040 And we would declare that every day 477 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080 while our house ended up selling. 478 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,080 23 days in an economy in Southern California. 479 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,280 It was a miracle. 480 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680 And during this massive depression, 481 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,520 it was terrible. 482 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,360 It was unbelievable. 483 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,040 Houses were sitting for years. 484 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,120 We even had people on our staff at that church saying, 485 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:58,960 there's no way. 486 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,800 I hate to say this, 487 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,120 but man, the chances y'all sell. 488 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840 And we're like, we have a supernatural God. 489 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,200 They thought we were young and dumb. 490 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,760 And then when we moved to Brownwood, 491 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,440 because we were moving there to plant a church, 492 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,640 it looked like it was falling through after 30 days. 493 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,480 I remember that. 494 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,640 It was like, whoa, not gonna happen. 495 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,480 We'd already moved. 496 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,480 Because something happened with the owner's funds. 497 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,440 And I remember just being like, really God? 498 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,640 We've prayed. 499 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,920 We've contended. 500 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,640 We've already moved. 501 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,680 We moved by faith, left our house empty, 502 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,560 left it in the hands of the real estate agent. 503 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,000 And then miraculously, within two weeks, 504 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,280 this back and everything broke. 505 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,640 And we sold. 506 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,800 And it was, but I'll never forget that book. 507 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,840 And then the time when we wanted to adopt a child 508 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,320 and we were desperate to, 509 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520 because we knew we didn't have the money to adopt. 510 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,120 It wasn't like we can go to an adoption agency 511 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,000 and throw down, you know. 512 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,680 $80,000 or a hundred. 513 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,000 Yes, we knew we desired a child. 514 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,560 And we asked the Lord to bring it in a supernatural way. 515 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,720 Only He can do that. 516 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,720 And we began declaring the scriptures from that chapter. 517 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,440 I'll never forget that. 518 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,040 And then God ended up. 519 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,640 It was a game changer because what happens 520 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,280 when you begin to pray the word, 521 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,120 declare the word of God, 522 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,640 is something rises up inside of you. 523 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,920 It stirs your faith. 524 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,560 It builds you up on your most holy faith. 525 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,840 It does something inside of you where, 526 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,920 I've said it this way, 527 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,720 you become larger on the inside 528 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,800 than you are on the outside. 529 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,200 Something happens spiritually where your inner person, 530 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,760 that inside person that's in you, 531 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,560 is bigger than the person that we see on the outside. 532 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,640 So I may look at you and say, 533 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360 yeah, you're this tall, you're this size, you're this shape. 534 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:50,560 But spiritually, you're a giant. 535 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,840 You're a rock star. 536 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,440 And you can do that because the word of God does that to us. 537 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,560 It builds us up. 538 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,400 It does. 539 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,520 I'm gonna put on our, 540

Well, I just remember it being so powerful in our life. 566 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,400 And there's so many circumstances that come up in our life. 567 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,280 And we need to be, 568 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,280 it's running to that book is like running to the Bible 569 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,240 because it's all scripture. 570 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,960 She doesn't embellish. 571 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,060 It's just scripture. 572 00:20:05,060 --> 00:20:06,800 You're just praying the word of God. 573 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,880 I wish I had it sitting in front of me. 574 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,920 I'd read one to you. 575 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,880 I know. I could put one up online. 576 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,720 We probably have one here. 577 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,240 No, I'm going up online actually. 578 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,400 Another part of the church. 579 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,720 I've got my computer here. 580 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,600 I love that book. 581 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,600 It was life-changing. 582 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,800 I bought that book for Tina. 583 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480 I bought it for Tina when she was going through. 584 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,760 Oh, right. 585 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,220 She was about to go on her trip. 586 00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:30,880 And I said, here's a book of prayers for you. 587 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,960 I hope she's in it. 588 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,200 A lot of times we'll get into something 589 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,760 then we'll put it down for a while. 590 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,720 And then we just gotta pick it back up. 591 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,120 And I think this is the season 592 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,200 that we need to start picking it back up. 593 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,040 There's so many topics in that book that are so helpful. 594 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,120 So the website is prayers.org. 595 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,120 That's pretty simple. 596 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:53,120 Oh, wow. 597 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,320 prayers.org, prayers that avail much. 598 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,120 And you go to that website and then you can find... 599 00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,120 Find a prayer. 600 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:00,120 Okay, yeah. 601 00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:01,120 There's resources. 602 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,120 Let me see. 603 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:03,120 What's a good topic? 604 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,120 Well, let me... 605 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,000 Here's the top three requested prayers. 606 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Prayer for a teenager. 607 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520 If you're a parent, oh my gosh. 608 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,880 That will teach you how to pray. 609 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,240 Pleading the blood of Christ. 610 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Beginning each day. 611 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,280 So let me just go to that beginning each day. 612 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,240 I think that'll be a way to kind of teach you how that works. 613 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,720 So the way it works is it says, father as the blank, the owner, president, chairman, 614 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,040 manager of... 615 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,960 This is like beginning of day of a business or work. 616 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,720 Father as the blank of whatever your company or whatever... 617 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,280 I come before you rejoicing for this is the day which you have made and I will be glad 618 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,280 in it. 619 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,140 I'm even a boss praying that over his employees. 620 00:21:45,140 --> 00:21:46,960 To obey is better than sacrifice. 621 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,440 So I'm making a decision to submit to your will today that my plans and purposes may 622 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,480 be conducted in a manner that will bring honor and glory to you. 623 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,640 Cause me to be spiritually and mentally alert in this time of meditation and prayer. 624 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,840 Now I'm gonna skip down to the last part of it because just so you hear how it ends. 625 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,680 I especially thank you for the co-labors with whom I will be interacting today. 626 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,860 Now you're praying for the people around you. 627 00:22:10,860 --> 00:22:16,080 Give me words of wisdom, words of grace that I might encourage them and build them up. 628 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,920 Father I kneel before you from whom your whole family in heaven and on earth derives its 629 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,920 name. 630 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,280 I pray that out of your glorious riches you may strengthen each one with power through 631 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,520 your spirit in the inner man so that Christ may dwell in each heart through faith. 632 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,800 Here's the last one. 633 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,280 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according 634 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,360 to his power that is at work within us to him be the glory in this company and in Christ 635 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:48,040 Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever in Jesus name I pray amen. 636 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,080 So it's just taking the word of God. 637 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,960 All those were scriptures and at the end of each of these prayers it gives you all the 638 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,960 scripture references. 639 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280 So you know where that's coming from. 640 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,680 So again that is called prayers.org and the website's prayers that avail much. 641 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:09,560 And I encourage you to jump in that that will demolish the strongholds. 642 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,200 That's 2 Corinthians 10. 643 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,640 The strongholds that come against you and have a stronghold on your life. 644 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,640 Absolutely. 645 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,640 So glad you brought that up. 646 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,920 It just well it dawned on me because that's the way he ended his message on Sunday was 647 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:29,840 with declaring the word and really that's the only way to demolish these strongholds 648 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,240 in our mind is we've got to replace those thoughts that come into our mind that tell 649 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:42,600 us that we're failures that we're no good that we're ugly that we're whatever the enemies 650 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,880 telling you at that time and we've got to demolish them by speaking what God's Word 651 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,880 says. 652 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,280 Listen to this passage it says for though we walk in the flesh we do not wage war according 653 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,280 to the flesh. 654 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,040 You don't do hand-to-hand combat with the devil for the weapons of our warfare are not 655 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,400 of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 656 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,080 So we've been given divine power by God's not our power it's God's power. 657 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,120 God's word God's word working through us. 658 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,160 Here's how I say it. 659 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,920 The word works but you have to learn to work the word. 660 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,480 Read the Bible but make sure the Bible is reading you. 661 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,520 It has to become a revelation in your heart. 662 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:28,240 I can say things all I want but if I don't have a revelation of his word that I'm not 663 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,520 going to believe the truth and a lot of times you'll get a revelation by repetition. 664 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,240 So the more you say the word the more you'll believe it. 665 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,080 Beautifully said as though I said that myself. 666 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,080 You probably have. 667 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080 I'm probably repeating you. 668 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,520 Yeah but you're right I mean and I have said that many times when I'm preaching and teaching 669 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,600 of course that God's not just trying to get information to us or content. 670 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,080 It's not about information it's about revelation. 671 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,520 Revelation is a higher level of knowledge a higher level of understanding. 672 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,560 The word revelation means to reveal as though to peel back layer by layer so you're actually 673 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,720 seeing deeper into something. 674 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,160 And so when we're learning about spiritual matters and how to fight the good fight of 675 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:18,200 faith how to how to demolish these strongholds or this in this translation the ESV it's actually 676 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,160 destroy strongholds. 677 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:26,360 It says we destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God 678 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,720 and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 679 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,080 I mean that's what we do. 680 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,120 This is what we are gifted to do but you got to have a revelation and understanding about 681 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,200 that and the only way you can do that is to spend time. 682 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,160 You spend time reading the Bible and then spend time letting the Bible read you. 683 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:49,040 And to me the best way to read the Bible is to is to read it in prayer form like that. 684 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,040 Absolutely. 685 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,600 It's a great way especially for new believers to get started in the Word of God and to begin 686 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:04,920 to understand the Word of God but also be able to repeat it back and just remember it. 687 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,880 And for old believers like us to use that term we have returned to this to this beautiful 688 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,160 prayer book. 689 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,440 We've got the actual book because I like it because you can just look these up as opposed 690 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,320 to just doing it online but we've returned to it many times when things come up in our 691 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,480 lives because it's listed topic by topic and that's really helpful. 692 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,080 So again can't recommend it enough because what we're recommending to you is the Word 693 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,560 of God put in prayer form. 694 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,560 Stormy O. 695 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,800 Martin has a series of books that does the same thing. 696 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,520 Prayers of a Praying Wife, Prayers of a Praying Husband, Prayers of a Praying Teenager. 697 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:45,600 I mean she's got a whole series of these books that by the way Pastor Brian who we just brought 698 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,800 from Tennessee and on her staff his wife still works for Stormy O. Martin. 699 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,920 She's her kind of managers and assists her even from a distance. 700 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,960 She did it when she lived in Nashville and now she does it still doing it since she's 701 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,960 here so but that's another series of books that does the same thing and is listed by 702 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:02,960 topic. 703 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,560 So there's lots of resources just because you don't have the Bible memorized who does? 704 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,560 Exactly. 705 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,560 Yeah. 706 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:16,720 So we need a resource that helps us and it's no less powerful to read a prayer if you mean 707 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,480 it if you lean into it and that's what I do. 708 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:25,040 I want to stand on what I'm reading so when I even when I was reading that from the website 709 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,920 it started to build you up. 710 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,400 It stirred something inside of me. 711 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,680 It got me excited and also gave me better perspective on the stuff we're dealing with 712 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:39,040 with this company to go okay don't get spun up about that. 713 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,040 God's got this. 714 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,440 We need to pray that God will expedite all of this. 715 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,440 Absolutely. 716 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,560 So that we can get on with our business because our mind is being corrupted by thoughts of 717 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,000 I can't even tell you. 718 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,560 Yeah it can take you down. 719 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,160 And listen the reason why we have massive compassion for you that are listening about 720 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,160 the stuff that you're dealing with in your life because we deal with the same stuff. 721 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,720 Just because we're pastors and have jobs that are maybe different from yours the dynamics 722 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,600 of living this life is the same for everyone. 723 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,060 Nobody gets a pass. 724 00:28:12,060 --> 00:28:13,320 Nobody gets a free pass. 725 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:19,160 Nobody gets a you know a shorter trip to the destination or a you know you can't hop or 726 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,560 space to wherever you're going. 727 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,800 You literally have to go through and so we do and we have our whole lives but we've been 728 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,720 given and we've learned some tools along the way that hopefully you can take those same 729 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,380 tools and they can help you. 730

that. 754 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,920 I think she's busy during the day. 755 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,120 She's busy at night. 756 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,200 We're all busy. 757 00:29:37,200 -->

--> 00:29:45,080 So we got to and also some friends. 761 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,240 One new friend Timothy. 762 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,960 Man I really enjoy getting to know Tim. 763 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,280 Tim's from Chicago. 764 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,320 What a great guy. 765 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,280 In his retirement he did banking his whole life. 766 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,360 But in his retirement he worked for the Chicago Cubs. 767 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,360 He's like a host. 768 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,360 Dream job. 769 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,360 It is. 770 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,360 He grew up right there next to the ballpark. 771 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,680 So I mean he grew up a Chicago kid and a big fan. 772 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,640 So now he gets to do in his retirement he does this for fun. 773 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,880 What a cool job. 774 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,000 But he's invited us to Michigan in 2025. 775 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,520 He's got a ranch or like a farm because of the farmhouse. 776 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,000 I would think that's gonna be a long way off. 777 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,440 But the way everything is going. 778 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,820 It's gonna be here before we know it. 779 00:30:23,820 --> 00:30:25,880 So I've been riding Peggy and

00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,200 We all got to hang out together and we've been going back and forth even this morning. 784 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,720 But I've been hashtag Michigan 2025. 785 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,120 We're gonna go and hang out with these guys. 786 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:48,760 But anyways a beautiful time of just spending time together and doing life with some folks 787 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,320 that aren't in our life all the time. 788 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,720 But now Tim's a new friend and then of course Peggy's just a dear miss become a dear dear 789 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,720 friend. 790 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,980 But anyway wonderful time. 791 00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:02,440 Love these guys and just thankful for good people around our lives. 792 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,220 We are so blessed. 793 00:31:04,220 --> 00:31:05,880 So survived with... 794 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,840 We have to talk about Jason Carter. 795 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,960 Our new friend from San Antonio. 796 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,960 Yes. 797 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,960 Oh Jason. 798 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,960 Thank you. 799 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:18,960 Sorry man. 800 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,680 Because he's gonna start listening to our podcast and I want to bring him in. 801 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:23,680 So yeah. 802 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,320 So I got my wife a new car. 803 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,320 New to us. 804 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,320 I'll say that. 805 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,480 New to us car. 806 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,040 And I got rid of my car which was getting a lot of miles and some issues with it. 807 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,680 So we went ahead and got rid of that and got an SUV. 808 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,040 But in the middle of all of that, for those of you who've ever bought a car, it can be 809 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,040 traumatic. 810 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,920 And first of all, I'd rather go to the dentist, which I don't like to do either, than to 811 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,920 go buy a car. 812 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,040 It's like selling your life. 813 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,220 It's almost worse than a house. 814 00:31:57,220 --> 00:32:00,480 Every time I walk away, most every time I drive away from a car lot, I feel like there's 815 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,440 a group of guys over in a corner laughing. 816 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,360 Like, oh man, another sucker. 817 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,440 Suckers born every day just walk in. 818 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,000 And yet I'm a pretty discerning guy. 819 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,760 But we didn't feel that at all at this dealership. 820 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,040 It was a wonderful experience. 821 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240 And Jason was delightful. 822 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,240 He was fantastic. 823 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,240 I loved visiting with him. 824 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,320 Humble, open, transparent. 825 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,320 He's a podcaster. 826 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,720 He and his wife did some podcasts during COVID and he does some stuff. 827 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:38,240 He's written a book called To Hell I Ride, which is a testimony of how he found Jesus 828 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,240 in Telluride, California. 829 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,240 California? 830 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,240 No, Colorado. 831 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,240 Colorado. 832 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,240 Telluride. 833 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,240 To Hell I Ride. 834 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,040 And man, he is a phenomenal writer. 835 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,240 I was just reading the back cover going, oh my gosh. 836 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,240 I know. 837 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,240 He's got chops. 838 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,000 I'm really looking forward to when we have some downtime to be able to read that. 839 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,200 So he and his wife are going to come hang out at the bridge. 840 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,680 His family loves Jesus. 841 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,640 He had a massive come to Jesus and was completely healed of alcoholism. 842 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,080 I mean, he was delivered and set free. 843 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,360 That stronghold got demolished. 844 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,480 It got torn down in his life. 845 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,760 And he's one of those now forever grateful guys. 846 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,120 We just hit it off. 847 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:24,760 And man, even though we were stuck at a dealership for four or five hours, it was a great experience. 848 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,840 It was like God ordained the time for that. 849 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,840 Yeah, absolutely. 850 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,520 It was just, it was beautiful. 851 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,840 I feel like I have a new friend, a new brother in Christ. 852 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,440 Even the sales manager there, the general manager. 853 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:44,000 We felt when we walked out of there, like we had bought a Maserati somewhere. 854 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,040 That's the way they made us feel, even though our car wasn't anything like that. 855 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,480 Well, we made a good decision. 856 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,960 We went to a Know-How-Go-Car dealership. 857 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,560 So you're not like going in and throwing numbers back and forth. 858 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,560 I had to test it. 859 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,560 Oh, I did too. 860 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,120 You either go in, you buy the car you like or you don't. 861 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,480 And what they have at price as well as price that it was fair. 862 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,640 We agreed and we did it. 863 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,960 So we didn't feel that, I didn't feel that angst that I normally feel, other than it 864 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,280 just taking still forever. 865 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,240 Even though we walked in pre-approved, pre-ready to go, we brought our own paperwork in. 866 00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:19,240 They were like, you're like the best customers ever. 867 00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,240 I took pictures of our drivers license. 868 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,240 We even photocopied our license. 869 00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:22,240 Everything. 870 00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,240 They were like, nobody does this. 871 00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:24,240 I said, well, we've done this a lot. 872 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,240 This is get it done. 873 00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:30,040 But anyway, Jason, man, what a cool guy. 874 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040 Give him a shout out. 875 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,040 He says he's going to listen to the show. 876 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,360 So Jason, if you're

overflowing is just really taken 898 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,600 off. 899 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:49,840 We also got a boost from John McPain. 900 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,000 I didn't get a note
