You 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: were having it was like a megachurch happening. But then 49 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: there was a division that happened, and through that you 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: guys went through a lot of pain and sorrow and 51 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: different things, and God ended up bringing you guys to 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: a new location. You started this new church churches like 53 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: it has like three services. 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 4: It's happening Saturday, two Sundays. 55 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: Midweek. It's happening, and God is restoring and doing awesome things. 56 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: And plus what we've seen go on with the school 57 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: ministry and all these different things. So now this show, 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about the last five 59 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: years or the last five to six years of your 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: life of. 61 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 4: From where we left off from the last show, because. 62 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: There was a split. You went through some crazy stuff, 63 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: but since then, you've been grinding, You've been going after God. 64 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: He's been doing cool things in your life with you 65 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: and your wife. And let's just walk people through this 66 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: because this is a whole faith story. Yeah, you know, 67 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: the theme is, like you know, it shows like the 68 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: Bible talks about and Jesus talks about you know, gardeners 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: that you know you throw the seeds out, and if 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 3: you know a thing about gardening, you know, you got 71 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: to till the ground. 72 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: Then you got to throw the seeds out. You gotta 73 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: water them. 74 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: But you don't see the growth of the plant for 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: a while because you're just literally watering dirt right and 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: the seeds underneath, and it's it's starting to produce, you know, 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: produce and grow, and then finally it crackhs through the ground. 78 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: You see a little bit and then finally, you know, 79 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: grows more than it turns into a tree, and then 80 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: it turns you know, has flowers, and then that turns 81 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: into fruit. Right for the for the most part, So 82 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: I want to look at the last five to six 83 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: years of your life because it's almost like six years 84 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: ago it was there's a whole new work. It was 85 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: like you had to like start teeling the ground again. 86 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: So let's walk through this faith story because I believe 87 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: that this is going to encourage a lot of people 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: that are listening. Maybe they're in it, maybe they're gonna 89 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: go through it. But this I think there's a lot 90 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: of nuggets that you're gonna drop today, so let's get after. 91 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: It a last five to six years. It started, everything 92 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: started from the church splitting, and there was it was 93 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: the worst thing that I had ever gone through my life, 94 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: worst thing my wife and I ever went through together. 95 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: And still the only other thing her dad has passed 96 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: away recently, and that has been like the worst thing 97 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: for us to go through. But second place is still 98 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the church split. So it was just it was such 99 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: an intense, an intense change, like you said, but it 100 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: was a new work and it was one of the 101 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: classic stories of like I just got to trust God 102 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: and I was following God and holding on by a 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: thread and just believing, Okay, whatever is gonna happen is 104 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna be what his will is. And I started to 105 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: see that because I met you, which is a crazy story. 106 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I still like, am like starstruck hanging out with you, 107 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: that you're my friend, that we're at BJ last night 108 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: till one of the morning, having Pazuki's and you're talking 109 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: about homies and then you say like you when you 110 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: say homies, and I'm like, this is so weird.

But but then. 175 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 4: God put you in, just started you with skateboarding. 176 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: Because maybe looking back at that time, you could probably 177 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: tell me even more, but maybe you just weren't in 178 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: that place of sharing maybe at that moment. But God's like, 179 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: you know what, he could skateboard right now. His heart's 180 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: cool to skate right now because this isn't a crazy 181 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: place in his life. 182 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we just got to get him skating crazy to 183 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: hear you say that, because skating is actually what got 184 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: me through it more than anything. The skate video that 185 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: my dad showed you, which you know, look back and 186 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: half cringe about, but that was very meaningful to me 187 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: at the time. I would go out in the streets 188 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: and destroy my body for the skate edit during the 189 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: split times. Yeah, and it was. It was some of 190 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: the best therapy for me. So yeah. Then then the 191 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: skateboarding opens the door for the whosoevers, and the whosoevers 192 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: becomes that like, I'm still holding on to you, I'm 193 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: still trusting you when I don't feel like it, when 194 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense, when everything's the complete opposite logically 195 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: and emotionally, and I'm I mean, I'm so I'm so angry, 196 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm so doubtful, but I'm still like, you're real, I'm 197 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna hold onto you. And the who service was the 198 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: beginning of the last five years where he answered that and. 199 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: That skate video because when I saw it, I go 200 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: he could skate. 201 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: So I'm like, if he could skate like this, we 202 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: can go anywhere in the world and he could do 203 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: something somewhere that the kids will go crazy, you know 204 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: what I mean? Right, So, and you're consistent too, so 205 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: that that helps out for this what we're doing, yeah, 206 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 3: with the kids. So that's that's pretty cool to look 207 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: at that. So that sparked that. Now during that time, 208 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: how'd their journey go from there? 209 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: That changed my life because of your discipleship and the 210 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: experience of the trips. We started the new church at 211 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: this property that we're at, and I immediately took charge 212 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: of the youth group and the worship and I became 213 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: the youth group and worship pastor. I got ordained, and 214 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: I remember you calling me when we were on a 215 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: retreat with some leadership and you said, hey, I want 216 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: to start bringing you on more tours because I know 217 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: that it's going to fire you up for what you're 218 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: doing at home, for the pastor's work that you're doing 219 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: at home. And it did, and it just it completely 220 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: revolutionized my perspective on things. It brought a whole other 221 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: level of depth and maturity to my faith and to 222 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: my perspective, which immediately like everything started flowing into this 223 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: little youth group that I was supposed to be in 224 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: charge of. And so I was like kind of walking 225 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: through being a youth pastor for the last five years 226 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: with my youth kids and walking through the revival in 227 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: my life, particularly of the Holy Spirit with them, the 228 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, the way he works the spiritual gifts. I 229 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: knew before the split we had lost the power of 230 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: the spirit. We were like strong on the word, but 231 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't a practical opening to the spirit, and we 232 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: we were like dead in that aspect. And during the 233 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: whole transitional time, the whosoevers and hearing you talk like 234 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: you first came to our church and I heard you 235 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: talk in my car, I was like, this is what 236 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm missing. It's like, this is what's in the Bible, 237 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: and this is the kind of life that I'm missing. 238 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: And so it became kind of like God teaching me 239 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: that and you playing a huge part in teaching me that, 240 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: And then I in turn began to teach the next 241 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: generation of that and did that for five years, and 242 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: in that same heartbeat. God started to change my heart 243 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: for young adults, which I never thought would happen because 244 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: I thought I'll just be a youth pastor forever. But 245 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,239 Speaker 1: in the mixture of that, I was like, dude, I'm 246 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: going on tours with you. I know how the who's 247 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: whoever's role. I know that there's legit as it gets, 248 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: there's down to earth as it gets. They have the 249 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: fire and the power of the Holy Spirit and the 250 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Word and the Gospel, and it's just it's straight up 251 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, the way that the way that 252 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm growing the next generations and leaders needs this. And 253 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: we would talk about these things, you know, because we 254 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: would meet so many young people, and we'd meet young 255 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: people that were on fire, and we were just like, like, 256 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: what can we do? And that eventually became the birth 257 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: of what's now the School of Ministry. 258 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: So before we get to the School of Ministry, I 259 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: remember talking to you because we've got some calls here 260 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: and there. Oh, we were going on tours too, so 261 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: you're you know, in between these tours were you were 262 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: breaking down what was going on with their youth and 263 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 3: how you know, you were going on trips, you were 264 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: you were being more open and seeing how the Holy 265 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: Spirit was working in these youth groups or in these 266 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: colleges or in front of people down in different countries 267 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: wherever we go. And then you were coming back home 268 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 3: and just from like the disciples, then being with Jesus, 269 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: seeing what Jesus did in the same way, you're out 270 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 3: on mission, great commission, which is you know, the ministry stuff, 271 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: mission stuff, and you're seeing God move and you're like, whoa, 272 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: this is real, this is awesome. And then you're coming 273 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: back to the church and you're now you're teaching the 274 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: Bible scriptures and you're line. 275 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 4: Current stories to what's happening in the Gospel. 276 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: And I like to say that's what keeps things spicy 277 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: because that shows how relevant the Bible is. So basically 278 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: from there what happens is the youth group. I remember 279 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: that God started moving and doing cool things. Oh my goodness, Yeah, 280 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: you were calling me like, dude, this happened here, Oh, 281 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: this happened here. 282 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 4: So God was doing stuff as you were open to 283 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit. 284 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 3: But then I love how like he as God does, 285 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: he continues to take you to like new chapters in 286 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: your life or new seasons. So once you were in 287 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 3: this next season. Then he's like, Okay, now I'm gonna 288 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: mature you more. I'm gonna take you to the young adults. 289 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 3: So as you were doing the young adults for a 290 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: couple of years teaching them, now your things are changing. 291 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: And then what led you? Because teaching the young adults 292 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: is one thing, but then going into creating a school 293 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: of ministry, that's that's an intensified version for young adults. 294 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: So what what you know? Honestly, I've never even asked 295 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: you this. 296 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 4: What made you even decide to do the School of Ministry? 297 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: Zail the Who's Rivers? Because someone else was originally going 298 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: to run the school, and God was working in that 299 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: guy's life in other ways, but there was this transitional 300 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: time where God just gave Like my dad had the 301 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: original vision for the school, Like I just see young 302 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: people on this campus. That's like, that's what I always 303 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: said when he walked on the campus. 304 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: Because it's like a compound here. 305 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I have a main building here, like the 306 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: students are here. 307 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 308 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: Here, it's a main building and other main building and 309 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: then five houses everywhere. So in the process of me 310 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: going through things myself and and having just this crazy growth. 311 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Particularly it was being with the Who's whoevers and being 312 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: like these guys are doing it right and not like 313 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: everyone's doing it wrong. But there's so much of a 314 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: lack of raw, real gospel centered and spirit filled Christianity 315 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: in America. Okay, So since you're talking in the world 316 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: for that matter, but especially in America. That what exactly 317 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: for the listeners? What does that mean exactly? Like, what's 318 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: the difference, Like, let's compare someone depth and power. I'll 319 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: answer it's depth and power. The difference is like there's 320 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: there's a shallowness to a lot of Western American Christianity. 321 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: Okay, good, I'm glad you said that's what I'm looking for. 322 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: What does the shallowness look like practically for people that 323 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: might be in a church that they're hearing the shallowness? 324 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: So if you go to church all the time and 325 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: and you hear things about love, and you hear things 326 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: about Jesus dying for us, you hear things about even 327 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: receiving help and the way that God can can help 328 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: us emotionally and spiritually, and you know, chains breaking and 329 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: all the good stuff, but you don't hear the bad stuff. 330 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: That's a red flag. 331 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: So you don't hear about you never hear about sin. 332 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, where's sin, where's judgment? Where's hell? 333 00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 334 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Another red flag is if there's not ever actual discussion 335 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: about real life. It's always kind of like motivational. Yeah, 336 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: very very motivational, very watered down. But you'll know it 337 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: because you'll go away and maybe like feel good. But 338 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: if you're always going away feeling good, that's messed. 339 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: Up and no changing. 340 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: Yes, because if you always feel good, then you think 341 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: you're fine. Yeah, But if you go to church and 342 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: the words being taught, then then there's feel good stuff. 343 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: But there's a there's a balance to everything. So there 344 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: needs to be the balance. And this is what is missing, 345 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: is the balance of this raw like like Okay, I'm 346 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: here at church, but last night I got a fight 347 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: with my wife, So like what the heck am I 348 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: supposed to do about that? Like, oh, Jesus loves me, 349 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: this I know for the Bible tells me so, or 350 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: like oh, like listen to a really nice worship song 351 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: and and act like super emotional and spiritual or even 352 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: get emotional and spiritual. But but it are we actually 353 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: talking about? Like when I when my boss is telling 354 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: me to lie for taxes when I'm running things in 355 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: the business or when I run my own business. I mean, 356 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: like real real life stuff like you and everyone knows, 357 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: like if you got if you've got a brain, you know, 358 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: are they talking about real life stuff or is it 359 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: only the nice, good sounding stuff from the Bible. Are 360 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: they cracking open the Bible? Are they telling you to 361 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: crack open the Bible? Are they sending you back to 362 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: God or are they sending you back to themselves? Like 363 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: if you're not being told that you need to have 364 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 1: your own relationship with God and how to do that, 365 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you need to have a devo life, like 366 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: self care is in the Bible, but it's got to 367 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: be biblical. Find all those things from the Bible. Everything, 368 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: everything matters, nothing matters more than Jesus. Like if if 369 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: the message is not always centered on Jesus, I mean, 370 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: like is the where's the gospel? Do you hear the 371 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: gospel when you go to church a lot? Do you 372 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: hear about Jesus a lot? Does everything come back to Jesus? 373 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: Because everything eventually needs to come back to Jesus. 374 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: So another thing is like if you're going to a 375 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 3: church and they're not cracking the Bible and reading the scriptures. 376 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: If it's just a bunch of talk, then you're not 377 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 3: getting anything biblical. And also another thing too is if 378 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: you don't read the Bible and you don't have your 379 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: own personal relationship with God. When I say that is 380 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 3: you have it through reading the Bible. If you don't 381 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: know the Bible, you could be at church and these 382 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: guys could be saying, whoever knows God knows what they're saying. 383 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't even know if they're even teaching the Bible. 384 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: And it's sketch. Because that's what's scary. 385 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: That's why you have to know the Bible. 386 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: Because they'll make it sound good though y they'll use 387 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: the nice sounding things. They'll even quote a Bible verse, 388 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: but it's like, dude, the Devil quoted the Bible, Yeah, 389 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: when he was tempting Jesus, Like you have to you 390 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: have to know that it's founded in the Word. You 391 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: have to be founded in the Word. Another shallow aspect 392 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: that especially we have tried to grow in as whosoevers 393 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: is the spirit and the lack of the spirit and 394 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: being open to the spirit working in the ways that 395 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: we read in the Book of Acts, and in the 396 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: Four Gospels and in the rest of the letters of 397 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: the New Testament. It's consistent throughout the whole thing, and 398 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: it's consistent with the Old Testament being open to powerful 399 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: and supernatural workings of the Holy Spirit and practical workings 400 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit, and not being too scared of it. 401 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: And especially one of the biggest subjects is spiritual gifts, 402 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: which we can talk about another time, but. 403 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: If you you know, I always thought about Christianity. 404 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 3: For me, it's like well in in the Calviary Chapel 405 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 3: movement where we're part of, uh, we believe in grace 406 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: and truth. And this goes back to what you were saying, 407 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: you know, going to a church, like, yes, we believe 408 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 3: in the grace. 409 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 4: God loves you, wants to forgive, He wants to help 410 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 4: you all that. He wants to bless you like he 411 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: does want to bless you. 412 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 3: Didn't mean he's gonna give you for hurry, you know 413 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: what I mean. 414 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 4: Give your money to all the money. 415 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: To the church, and you're gonna be blessed like that's 416 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 3: you know, the name and Claimant and prosperity movement. We're 417 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: not talking about that but grace and truth is, yes, 418 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 3: there's grace, you have any issues, but God loves you. 419 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: But truth is, there's a hell. There's a heaven where 420 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 3: you're gonna go. Depending on how you live your life 421 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: and your relationship with God, you decide where you go, 422 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: Heaven or hell. You choose, because man has a choice. 423 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 3: We have free will. We're not robots. God didn't make 424 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 3: us have to worship him. We have free will. So 425 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: if you're not going to church that's telling you the truth, 426 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 3: grace and truth, then if you're just going to a 427 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: place that's just a bunch of if it's just there's 428 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: no truth, then you you're being lied to you basically, 429 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 3: And that's a scary thing. 430 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: And it's it's very much real, recognize real, Like with 431 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: the whosoever's uh, there is an added family to my 432 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: life where I know that every time I'm with you guys, 433 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: there's a comfort because I know that you've been spending 434 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: every second of every day of your life trying to 435 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: actually live for God, and not just on a Sunday 436 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: or a Wednesday night or when you randomly listen to 437 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: worship music. Like if if your church doesn't have teachers 438 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: that are encouraging you and challenging you to make it 439 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: the complete life aspect, like every aspect of your life, 440 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: like the complete like the complete deal. I mean it's 441 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: it's it's all in or anything. It's full center, no sin, 442 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: there is no how. That's that's what we say. Here 443 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: is Zeel fully committed. It has to be every aspect 444 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: of your life from the moment you wake up. And 445 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: how I've started through this. I started teaching our youth 446 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: and I would tell them it's it's everything from eating 447 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: pizza to speaking and tongues and everything in between. Everything 448 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: whether you eat or drink, you gotta do it to 449 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: the glory of God. So like you can be open 450 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: to the tongues, you can be open to eating a 451 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: piece of pizza and being like, praise God. But that's 452 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: very raw, and that's very real of like every aspect 453 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: of your life. 454 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: So I was thinking about as you're saying that to 455 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 3: every aspect of your life, life full sin. So it's 456 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 3: literally it's like from when you get up everything you 457 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 3: do from like the music that you're gonna listen to, Like, 458 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: am I gonna get up here? Here? Here? Here's just 459 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 3: like a practical thing I get up in the morning, 460 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 3: I drink coffee. That's the first thing I gotta do. 461 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 3: I gotta get my brain work. Okay, I get my coffee, 462 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 3: and then I put in I have the the Kwave 463 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: Bible app so I turned on wherever I'm in the 464 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 3: country or the world. Basically, I turn it on and 465 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 3: I hear Bible studies. So the first thing I'm getting 466 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: is Bible studies. As I'm getting I'm brushing my teeth. 467 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: I have the Word going in. Why I might not 468 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 3: be catching everything, but I have the Word of God. 469 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 3: It can happen with worship music. But right from the beginning, 470 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 3: I'm trying to put on the mind of Christ to 471 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 3: get what I can while when I'm getting ready, and 472 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 3: then from there I my goal would be to you know, 473 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 3: I have a bunch of kids, and you know things 474 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 3: can change and you know whatever. But my goal is 475 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 3: My routine that I'd like to do is like then 476 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 3: I get my coffee. After two coffees, my brain's it's on. 477 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: So then I'm gonna go crack my Bible open. I'm 478 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: gonna do my daily reading, whether I read a chapter 479 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: or two. Like wherever I'm at, going through the Bible 480 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 3: or read the proverbs, or maybe both, or I might 481 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 3: read a couple of my devotions, just one little page. 482 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 4: The amount of time reading it doesn't take a long time. 483 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. You're not talking hours, right, 484 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: It could take this could take ten minutes. This could 485 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: take twenty minutes, depends how fast you read. I'm still reader. 486 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 3: It takes me twenty minutes. 487 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: But you can do this fast. And now you got 488 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 4: that going. 489 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: Just like when you wake up and you eat in 490 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 3: the morning, you're basically eating the bread alife. The bread 491 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 3: is a word of God, right, So you're eating, You're 492 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: feeding your spar and then you feed your physical self. 493 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 3: So from there, then when I get out to my car, 494 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: what kind of music am I gonna listen to? What 495 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 3: are you gonna listen to? Are you gonna turn on 496 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj? But me, I go, I'm a Christian. I 497 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 3: don't listen to making Nicki Minaj. So then I don't 498 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: listen to Nicki Minaj. So then I go to the store, 499 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: and if you know, if if I go and I 500 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 3: pay for something, or the other day, I went to 501 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: the UPS store and I was gonna. I was picking 502 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: up some packages and I was gonna buy like a 503 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: little thing of like I don't know, markers or something, 504 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: and I didn't realize I'm my kid, and I didn't. 505 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: I got my package and I forgot the pay and 506 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 3: I walked out, Well, am I gonna drive away with 507 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: the markers? It was only a dollar, but I'm a Christian, 508 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 3: so I went back and I gave it back. So 509 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: this is my point. 510 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 4: It's literally just stupid. 511 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: It's not really stupid, but it could be stupid little 512 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 3: things like no big deal whatever, these these little things. 513 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: But it's because God is the lord of my life. 514 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 3: And then you could take it to be things like 515 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 3: you said, is my boss's gonna tell me to write 516 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: this under the table? 517 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 4: You know? 518 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 3: I had someone, you know, there was a business deal 519 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 3: I was doing, and someone's like, well, you just pay 520 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: me and don't don't worry about them, and we have 521 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: to pay taxes, and I'm like, I'm a Christian, I 522 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: don't even that's that's I gotta do everything legit, you 523 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's just in every aspect of 524 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: your life, but it all starts with that personal relationship. 525 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: And that's basically why you started the school, because you 526 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: want to instill these these truths into these young adults 527 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 3: because that's where they're facing everything. And you know what 528 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 3: I like too is also as young adults can come 529 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: to your ministry. It's called the School of ministry zeal 530 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 3: school of ministry. They can come and you're not looking 531 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: for perfect people. You know, one girl came out of 532 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 3: you know, the one girl got out of rehab one time, 533 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: some young kid. You know, they come from churches, they 534 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 3: can come from wherever, but you wherever they're at, whether 535 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 3: they're fully like in with Christ, maybe they're just getting started, 536 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: or maybe they're brand new. You guys walk with them 537 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 3: and you get them on track, and then they end 538 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 3: up graduating from this program and they have all these 539 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: truths and the goal is for them to leave with 540 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: the relationship with God wherever they go. 541 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: And on top of that, the goal is. 542 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: Not just. 543 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: For them to understand that, like so much of the 544 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: work is like I want you, guys to understand this, 545 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: but I want you to understand this in such a 546 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: way that when God gives you the opportunities, you'll be 547 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: able to lead others to do the same thing. Which 548 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: is why the School of ministry and not discipleship because 549 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: the discipleship is in the school of ministry. But the 550 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: final ticket is like, you need to get this for 551 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: yourself because God's gonna use you to get this to 552 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: help other people get this at the same time exactly 553 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: which is where it all came from. It came from 554 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: the hoostwevers and being like like, I'm learning this myself. 555 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: I was discipled by you and so much of this 556 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is this is raw, this is real, 557 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: this is the narrow path, this is straight from the Bible. 558 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: There's depth and there's power, and it's all got the 559 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: right focus. And I'm like, man, we need, especially in 560 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: this generation, which is a whole nother tangent, but we 561 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: need we need young people that when you get someone 562 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: that's on fire, like actually on fire, and you grab 563 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: hold of them and you say, all right, this is 564 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: how it's done. It makes me think of a I 565 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: think it was it was one of Paul's friends. But 566 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: somewhere in the Book of Acts it says that one 567 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: of Paul's guys was teaching and there's a couple of 568 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: leaders that were already there and they took him in 569 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: and taught the taught the word to him. More adequately, 570 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: which is an example of like, hey, like you're you're 571 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: killing it, Well, let's take you to that next level 572 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: together and walk it and then you turn around do 573 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: the same thing, which is what my first class is 574 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: already doing. They're already at other places exactly. 575 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 3: So if you're listening and you want to get here, 576 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 3: where where can they find it is? It's called the 577 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: Zeal School dot com Zeal School dot com, Seal School 578 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: dot Coeople. It's amazing. I think it's amazing. I think 579 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: everyone should come. 580 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 4: If you're able to just leave your your life, if 581 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 4: you're trying to figure out what's going on, leave it. 582 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: Jud it's eight months, Yeah, I mean it. It will 583 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: change your life and I believe it will help you 584 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: make the right decisions even moving forward from that point. 585 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 3: So the school's happening. 586 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: You're how many years have you been doing the school? 587 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: This is the second class, second class.

So here you are 668 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 3: and you're like, man, I want to see the young 669 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: people because we're reaching young people abroad, but you want 670 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 3: to reach young people. And your dad's a pastor, Danny Hodge, 671 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: and I know him, and he's just like go get him, 672 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 3: like do what it takes. So talk about that process 673 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 3: because I know what you're saying, and this this is 674 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 3: actually a lot of frustrations for like a lot of 675 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 3: the youth pastors that might be listening right now. You know, 676 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 3: you're at a church and it's older, and did you 677 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 3: have like one youth person or like six kids or 678 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 3: whatever it is. And you're like, man, I mean, dude, 679 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 3: I go to a lot of churches and people are 680 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: like our youth group, it's small and you know, it's 681 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 3: older people because we've been doing ministry a long time, 682 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 3: and how do we reach the new young kids? So 683 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 3: basically you're in that situation. So what did it look like? 684 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 4: What what happened? 685 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: What was the process? 686 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: The process was full send. My dad was the best 687 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: part of that. So that's a huge piece and not 688 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: everybody has. I was given a lot of freedom, first 689 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: of all, and encouragement. My dad was very much like, dude, 690 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: just go for it, and and he was very has 691 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: always been like, especially in this new work, Hey, we're 692 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: handing off things to the next generation. Let's go like, 693 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: let's let's get these young people in. So I did 694 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: that as a youth pastor for last five years and 695 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: just transitioned some other guys to take the middle in 696 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: high school and I'm doing young adults. But it was 697 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: really lonely and hard for me for years because our 698 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: church was three or four thousand, and when the split happened, 699 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: it was like a thousand of the older people that 700 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: had been with my dad for twenty or thirty years 701 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: came over faithfully, and that's what we started with. We 702 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: started with a thousand person church of you know, fifty 703 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: plus being the average age sixty plus even and I 704 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: was given music and youth, so I just I mean, 705 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: I had such a desire for young life, like I 706 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: am young life, just like I'm all about the send, 707 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm all about the energy, I'm all about the epic music. 708 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 1: I'm all about the evangelism. I mean the zeal I mean, 709 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: it's all about the zeal act. So I'm starting to 710 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: do it, and I do it for a long time, 711 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: and I and I just struggled because I I kept 712 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: on thinking naturally that if I'm doing a good job, 713 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: and even like doing a good job, not pridefully, but 714 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: like doing a good job depending on the Lord, and 715 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: trying to love the youth and trying to to keep 716 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: things fresh and push new modern things and not do 717 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: it too much because I love the older generation. I 718 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: want them. I want the full generation to be a 719 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: part of our whole church everyone. So I wanted that 720 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: balance to come up, and I knew that there was 721 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: a balance for that, but I desired that so much. 722 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, Lord, like use me 723 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: however you can, and he was, and I ended up 724 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: being in charge of like it's just increasing for years, 725 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: being in charge of more and more and more, especially 726 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: last year, and thinking well, okay, where's the young people, 727 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: Like there's got to be a young generational growth, that 728 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: balance has to come up eventually, and it just didn't. 729 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: For years, it just didn't. I mean I would, I mean, 730 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: this is being vulnerable, man. I would have you guys 731 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: come to church and I would teach, and I would 732 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: feel like it was just me and you guys and 733 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: no one else, like everyone else's family, because we're church. 734 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: And I love my church to death, and I love 735 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: all the older people to death because they they literally 736 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: are my extra parents and grandparents and they support me 737 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: and love me to death. But still there was just 738 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: a lonely aspect of like, well I want peers like 739 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: I want peers to be a community. And it was hard. 740 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: I didn't have friends. You were my friend that I 741 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: was like abroad. Another friend of mine is in another state, 742 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: another friend of mine was in Canada. Like those are 743 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: the people that considered friends other than my wife, who 744 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: was legitimately my best friend. And it was like that 745 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: for years. I just thought like this is going to change. 746 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: I thought like more young people are going to come. 747 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: I thought like the youth is on fire, and these 748 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: kids are on fire and the spirit's working and these 749 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: crazy things are happening. I mean crazy stories, just amazing things. 750 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: The things that I'm calling you and tell you about, 751 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: like healings, it's the spiritual gifts, and I mean kids' 752 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: lives are saved from cutting, a depression and anxiety and suicide, 753 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. 754 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 3: I was doing something amazing there. 755 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: Crazy and like the weight of that it was gnarly, 756 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: Like I would call you crying because I'd have like 757 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: three suicidal kids that I deal with that night, and 758 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: I'm just remember that. So I'm thinking, like this is great. 759 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: I'm seeing it happen in the youth, so like so 760 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: it's gotta it's got to grow, Like the young generation's 761 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: got to grow so that we can be full generation 762 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: church and see the beauty of that, because that's in 763 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: the Bible, and it never happens. And it became a 764 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: great struggle for a long time. It became another kind 765 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: of like this logically makes sense to me, and emotionally 766 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: and spiritually, like in every realm makes sense to me. 767 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: But I still I'm coming to church and I'm working 768 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: like this is my work, this is my job, this 769 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: is my life. And I'm pouring my heart and soul 770 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: out to it, but there's an aspect that that is 771 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: missing that really it was just hard, and it's it's 772 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to talk about it and not 773 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: sound like insulting almost to like the older people. But 774 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't mean it like that at all. I just 775 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: mean like, and I wanted, I wanted everyone, and I 776 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: felt alone, like I was the only guy that was 777 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: like being young and doing young things and pushing any 778 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of young vibe. 779 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 3: And so what do you think speaking of that, I 780 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 3: know what you're saying, Like, you want to see a 781 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 3: church and whole you want you want every age group.

And 844 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 3: once you hear God's voice, he will show you that 845 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 3: He created you uniquely, and he designed you for a 846 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 3: specific plan and purpose and you're gonna You're gonna do 847 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 3: it the way He created you to do it. And honestly, 848 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 3: if you really think about it, as we were talking 849 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 3: last night, Yeah, my dad, your dad, all these older 850 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 3: pastor guys, they're they did it their way for their generation. 851 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 3: Their way is not for the next generation. The way 852 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 3: you are, the way you carry yourself, the way you're 853 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 3: just who you are, how God created you uniquely, and 854 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 3: being in Christ, he designed you to reach that next 855 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 3: generation and to speak the way you do to that 856 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 3: next generation and the music you're into to that next generation. 857 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 3: That's how the torches continue to be carried. But the 858 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: voices get you all confused. 859 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had I had that struggle while going 860 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: through it. You played a huge role in that really 861 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: encouraging me. And my dad did too, but your dad's awesome, 862 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: but still, like individually, just me in my own mind, 863 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: even with my dad being like, hey, don't be boxed in, 864 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: like be yourself, it still was hard. You play a 865 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: huge role in that, but it was still hard to 866 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: figure out, like, Okay, I just need to be faithful 867 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: with what I know I'm supposed to do and how 868 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: I know I'm supposed to do it, Like what God 869 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: does show me, I'm gonna go. And that's where zeal started. 870 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: It became the youth group, that's where the school ministry started. 871 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 1: And I look back and it's like, all these amazing 872 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: works that God has done through my life, who swear 873 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: to his ambassador, Like that's weird to say, but it's 874 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: the sickest thing in the world to say, Like it's 875 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: like it's like a dream to say that. But there 876 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: was so much grind at the Home Church. There was 877 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: so much daily grind that like you didn't know about 878 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: no one here knows about Nobody knows except me and 879 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: God and my wife. The daily grind for five years, 880 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: thinking and wanting and praying for that balance of young 881 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: to come up and for us to be able to 882 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: have that full generation church. And I knew that that 883 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: was a good desire. I know that, like any good 884 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: pastor would want that desire. 885 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 3: But it was. 886 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: Literally like until last year, like the five year mark 887 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: was when I finally kind of accepted it. I was like, 888 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, well, like I know, I'm supposed 889 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: to be here. I even had like people getting words 890 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: and visions and dreams I was telling you, like like 891 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: saying things that made it sound like I wasn't supposed 892 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:21,839 Speaker 1: to be doing this. I was supposed to be going 893 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: somewhere else like, but but that wasn't clear enough. So 894 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: I just held on to what was clear, which was 895 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: stay here and grind and do it for the Lord, 896 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: which he actually taught me that before the church split. 897 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: So I went back to those roots and stayed focused 898 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: and stayed on Jesus and got used to the fact 899 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: that like what I want and what I think should happen, 900 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: and even I know is a good desire, is not happening. 901 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: So whatever, I'm just gonna keep grinding and I'm just 902 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: gonna keep sending, and whatever God does give me, I'm 903 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: gonna do it. And that's the lesson like no matter 904 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: where you're at, dude, Like for all the for all 905 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: my home youth pastors that are out there, like, no 906 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: matter where you're at, it is just whatever God's given you, 907 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,240 Speaker 1: full send. If it's ten kids in your youth group, dude, 908 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: pour into their life. If if you got a class 909 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: of ten, pour into them. If you got a class 910 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: of five, pour into them. That's this year like whatever 911 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: it was going to be, but it wasn't until last 912 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: year was a huge transition where I just was like, Okay, 913 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,879 Speaker 1: finally gonna accept that. And that's when fruit came. 914 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 3: Okay, before we get to the fruit here, going back 915 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 3: to what you just said about if you have five kids, 916 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 3: pour into them. 917 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 4: If you have ten, wherever you're at, full. 918 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 3: Send, give it all you got, fully committed. Don't don't 919 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 3: worry about what everyone else was doing. Yea, worry about 920 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 3: where God has you. And there's there's that verse. You know, 921 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 3: whoever's faithful with the small things, he'll make you greater 922 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 3: and the bigger things, like you know, it's he gives 923 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 3: you a certain there's a parable about it. I can't 924 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 3: think about it right now because i've been brain's kind 925 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 3: of fried. But basically He gives you a little bit, 926 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 3: and if you do more with it, then he'll give 927 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 3: you more. So so if you're not faithful with those 928 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 3: five kids, why is he gonna go, I'm gonna hook 929 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 3: you up. I'm give you one hundred kids, two hundred kids. 930 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna make your church. 931 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 4: Explode or your youth group. 932 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 3: If you can't be faithful with just that little bit 933 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 3: that he gives you, and that those are all tests 934 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 3: God gives you. We live a life of test with 935 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,760 Speaker 3: God because he wants to see your attitude and your character. 936 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 4: Without good character and attitude, you're useless to God. 937 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 3: God doesn't need you. God doesn't need me. He wants 938 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 3: to use us. He wants us to do amazing things, 939 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 3: and he wants to open doors. He wants a bus, 940 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 3: he wants to do all kinds of awesome stuff. But 941 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 3: he wants to see her character. It's all about character. 942 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,919 Speaker 3: No character, you're no good. 943 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: You need to have integrity. But that's the whole. That's 944 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: the whole principle that that God will show you whether 945 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: or not you accept it. But like the principle is, 946 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: it's it's not about the numbers. No, there's a band 947 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: the devil rest Produst shout Out. There's an album that 948 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: came out with one of the lyrics thats saying. One 949 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: of my favorite songs is it's not all about the numbers. 950 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 1: It's not all about the numbers. And you like it's 951 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: bad if you do succeed in the world standards without 952 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,919 Speaker 1: learning that lesson, But most of the time you won't 953 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: succeed by the world standards if God wants to give 954 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: you blessing of numbers and increase and stuff like that, 955 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: until you learn that it really is about you touching 956 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: one soul for four hours at a breakfast date because 957 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: they're going through a divorce and their life's terrible right now, 958 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: and you're gonna give them your heart and soul and 959 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 1: love that. You're gonna love the snot out of them, 960 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: and that's what matters. And you're gonna do that for 961 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: every aspect of your life. Like you said, I'm gonna 962 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,439 Speaker 1: wake up, I'm gonna do my devot thing. I'm gonna 963 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be faithful with the markers at the store. 964 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be faithful and brushing my teeth and eating 965 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: well and exercising like everything in my life to all 966 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: the way to people, which are the most important thing. 967 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 1: When you actually get it, especially if you're in ministry, man, 968 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: when you actually get it, like it's free, it's for 969 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: the Lord, it's between you and the Lord. And when 970 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: you find joy and knowing that, you can put your 971 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: head on the pillow and have a clear conscience that 972 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 1: I gave my life back to Jesus today and I 973 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: did it for him, whether or not it was one 974 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: or a million things or people.

But 1047 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 3: you still you gotta you gotta keep watering it. Yeah, 1048 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 3: and you got to make sure that the insects don't 1049 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 3: kill it. There's a lot of things you gotta. My 1050 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 3: point is it's a lot of time, time and and 1051 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,360 Speaker 3: nurturing and caring for this to make sure that you 1052 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 3: know it it produces this harvest.
