No, 49 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: my name's Erica Kirk. I have a clothing line, proclaimed Streetwear, 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: and I also am the leader of Bible in three 51 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 3: sixty five. And I am married to my best friend 52 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: and the love of my life and an amazing. 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: Human well likewise, and that's one of the things that 54 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about, which is the Bible in 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: three sixty five. So you work so hard on this, 56 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: and you have this amazing community of people that you've 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: put together, and you interact with them and basically you 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: help people read the Bible starting in January for an 59 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: entire year. 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: It's actually really cool. So this started almost six years ago, 61 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: originally in my studio apartment in Brooklyn, and it eventually 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: has now grown into thousands of people and we're we 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: have readers all over the world. And the cool thing 64 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: about it is that we all read the Bible cover 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: to cover together. It's not you starting at your own pace. 66 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: It's not an app where you just you know, click 67 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: the little checkbox. I read my reading for today. There's 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: a sense of accountability that's built into it, and that's 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: what I love and that's what I found. When I 70 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: first started reading, I had so many questions because when 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: I was younger, I never read the Bible cover to cover, 72 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: and I had so many questions and I had I 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: just wanted to do it along with someone that had 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: also read scripture. And so anyways, out came from that 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: a Community Bible in three sixty five and basically you 76 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: can tailor your plan of like how you receive everything. 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: And then also we are launching our branded app that 78 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: is coming out December thirty first or December thirtieth, I 79 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: can't remember. 80 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: And so you people can start anytime throughout the year, 81 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: but the ideal is to do it January one. 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: Because that's when we're all going to be reading as 83 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: a family. 84 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: So we some people just do it every year, right, Yeah, 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: So we. 86 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: Have a lot of returning family members, as we like 87 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: to call it, because it really is a family. We 88 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: pray together, we praise together. We have a group called 89 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: Prayer Warriors where you can sign up and you can 90 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: be able to share with us like what's on your heart, 91 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: prayer requests, how we can be doing life with you, 92 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: celebrating with you. Yeah, it's just it's an amazing community 93 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 3: and it's beautiful to be able to grow alongside people 94 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: on this journey. And there's really nothing more important than 95 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: digging into God's word. 96 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Well, and people are always giving excuses like I don't 97 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: know where to start, too much time, But you don't. 98 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: You don't just go through like genus sexistilyticus, numbers, deuterotomy. 99 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean you go through every book, but you don't. 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: You do do it consecutively, but you kind of break 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: it up. You have Psalms, Proverbs, New Testamental Testament, right, 102 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: and so every. 103 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: Day you have a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, 104 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: Psalms and Proverbs. And I broke it up that way 105 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: because I heard the saying goes unfortunately, is that the 106 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: Old Testament is where Bible plans go to die. 107 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Because a lot of it's hard. 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 3: Right, and a lot of people judges right. 109 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: They get stuck the Kings, second Kings exactly, and then 110 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: by Obadiah you're done. 111 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 3: I know, but there's you have to. And that's the 112 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 3: thing that breaks in my heart is that a lot 113 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: of Christians are like, I don't need to read the 114 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 3: Old Testament. That really doesn't relate to the New Testament 115 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: blah blah blah, and it does it literally, Jesus came 116 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: to fulfill all of the prophecy, and so like, if 117 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 3: you don't understand the Old Testament, you'll miss a lot 118 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: of key points in the New Testament. And just all 119 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: in general, it's just so important to be familiar with 120 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: God's word because his word never returns void. 121 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: And it's so how do people sign up for it? 122 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: So they can go to Bible on three sixty five 123 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: dot com or proclaimstreetwear dot com slash Bible in three 124 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: sixty five and you can sign up there. 125 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: So what have been some of the things that you've 126 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: learned by helping other people read the Bible throughout the year, 127 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: just seeing the. 128 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: Way God moves in their life and seeing how how 129 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: much more, how do you put it, how much more 130 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: they are aware of how alive God's word is, and 131 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: how they're able to incorporate what they're learning in scripture 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: into their life and vice versa. And the thing that 133 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 3: I think is also really powerful is how people are 134 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: able to spend their time in the morning or they 135 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: carve out the time in their day where they can 136 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: spend time with God just them one on one and 137 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 3: to know that I can be a part of that 138 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: journey is extremely humbling. But they literally are able to 139 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: sit down and say, you know what, for these fifteen minutes, 140 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: for these twenty minutes, I'm devoting it to God, and 141 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: this is my time to just dig deeper into scripture. 142 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I mean I know a lot of people 143 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: that have been touched on it through it. And it's 144 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: also an accountability thing, right because every day get sent 145 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: to you. How long does it take to do the 146 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: readings on average? 147 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: Nay, I say probably fifteen minutes. 148 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: If that fifteen minutes. 149 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: But the thing is, Okay, we've talked about this. What 150 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: happens if the government were to say, or the powers 151 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: it be were to say, the Bible's no longer allowed, 152 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: burn the bibles, take them away, can't read them. How 153 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: much of scripture do we have memorized? And not even 154 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: to the point where we just have like a few verses. 155 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: And we've talked about this, how much of scripture do 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: you have memorized to the point where you know where 157 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: the commas are, the periods are, the pause is. It's 158 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: that type of that you think to yourself, Okay, we 159 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: need to dig a little bit deeper. We need to 160 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: really get into the Word, not only just to obviously 161 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: memorize it in the power of memorizing it, but also 162 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: to be able to spread the Gospel, to be able 163 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: to be the salt in the light, and just really 164 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 3: be able to make a difference while we're here for 165 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: the short amount of time that we're even alive. 166 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries, and 167 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 4: today I want to point you to their podcast.

Yeah, and 186 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: so many people have an interest to do this and 187 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Christians listening, and there's some 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: non Christians listening. And it's a challenge. But did you 189 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: find throughout the year people you know, they grow in 190 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: their faith and they want to read even more. And 191 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean breaking it up over a year every day 192 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: is really important. But it doesn't stop there where people 193 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: have questions and you know, talked a little. 194 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: Bit about it. 195 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 196 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 3: So the cool thing about this being a Bible in 197 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: three sixty five community is that let's start it from that. 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: We've had people who were looking for churches because their 199 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: church wasn't open, and small towns in the middle of nowhere. 200 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 3: We're able to see on our back end where that 201 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 3: person's located and be able to say, okay, so are 202 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: you looking for a church within this mile of radius. 203 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 3: They say yes. So we're able to then reach out 204 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: to people within that same community and say, hey, would 205 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: you be able to connect with XYZ to be able 206 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 3: to share which churches are open, which ones that are 207 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 3: in alignment with the gospel? Would you be able to connect? 208 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 3: So I think that's really beautiful is the connection part 209 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: in the community part, because we are made for community 210 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 3: and we crave it right now, especially with everything that's 211 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: gone on with COVID. When it comes to questions, I 212 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: love when people reach out and either text or email 213 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: questions about what's going on in the reading. We also 214 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: are big on obviously the number one resource is the Bible, 215 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: but we're also really big on sharing other resources and 216 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: different commentaries that are very helpful to understanding of digging 217 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: deeper into the words. So that's really fun. We incorporate 218 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: that within the reading as well. But the thing that's 219 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: amazing that I love is how many returning people come 220 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: back every year. And that's the thing that's so powerful 221 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: is they say, well, I did it last year, but 222 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: now this year, I invited my sister and my mom 223 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 3: and my brother, and a lot of people are like oh, 224 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: is it mostly just women. No, we have men and 225 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 3: women in this. We have young and old. Our oldest 226 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: reader is eighty two and our youngest one is thirteen. Wow, 227 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: it's amazing. 228 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: And so it's Bible in three six five the number 229 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: three six five dot com. And you know you work 230 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: so hard at this. I'm so proud of you. You've 231 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: changed so many lives through this. And you have like 232 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: a very small team. 233 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: I haven't God has, God has, but. 234 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: You've also made the choice to do this. And you 235 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: have a one person on the team that helps for Bible. 236 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: It just kind of helps put it together. But this 237 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: is the time where people make New Year's resolutions. This 238 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: is the time where people are reconsidering life choices after 239 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: drunk nights near Christmas or whatever, and they're seeing their 240 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: high school friends, maybe going back home, or they're seeing 241 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: their grandkids, and they're like, I gotta I gotta fix something. 242 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: This is a great New Year's resolution. 243 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 3: And it's so much more than that too, because you're 244 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: dealing with people's souls. You know, you want to be 245 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: the reason why heaven's crowd Heaven is crowded. You want 246 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: to be the reason why people know God or know 247 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ and know what He's done in your life, 248 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 3: and you want to be a part of that journey 249 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: with people. And there is so much more to this 250 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 3: world than the sinful ways of living that are easy 251 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: to do out there. And there's something really powerful and 252 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: beautiful in obedience to Christ and obedience to the Holy Spirit, 253 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: and even to how we've incorporated that in our life 254 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: with the Sabbath, like honoring the Sabbath and seeing how 255 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 3: that's so you. 256 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: Could testify to the audience, I actually do it.

And 358 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: originally it started in Manhattan in twenty eighteen, but a 359 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 3: few years prior than that is when I actually start 360 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: a Bible in three sixty five. And I truly believe 361 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 3: that if I did not start Bible in three sixty five, 362 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 3: I would not have had the moment for God to 363 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: reveal to me my functional calling of Proclaimed Streetwear. Primary 364 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: calling spreading the Gospel the Great Commission.

Forward Slaunch Charlie So in closing, 386 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: I want to talk about a lot of the emails 387 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: we get at Freedom at charliekirk dot com of people 388 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: that ask questions and advice about dating, advice and marriage. 389 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're ready to comment on marriage 390 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: expert advice yet. That probably can come in the years 391 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: to come. But it's awesome and never one should get married. 392 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 3: I totally agree. 393 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: But let's start with like one question, Charlie. I'm thirty one, 394 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: I'm a Christian woman, I've had a good career. I 395 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: can't find anyone. I never really comment on the woman's 396 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: side of it. I always say talk to my wife 397 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: for the men, get your act together, stop being a schlep, 398 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: stop drinking, set up straight with your shoulders back, you know, 399 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: go lift weights, and you know, don't be a bum. Basically, right, 400 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: I could say that to young What about young women? 401 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 1: What are they supposed to do? 402 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 3: No, it's a good point, you know, I have a 403 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: few I have. I see both sides of this. I 404 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: think there's also a point where young women have this 405 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: unrealistic checklist that they feel like they have to hit 406 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 3: every single point in order for this person to be perfect. 407 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 3: And if they're not, every single checkpoint of their own 408 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: liking versus the desires that God has for them, then 409 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: that person's totally disregarded. I think that women need to 410 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: not They need to literally prioritize their life in a 411 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: way where you don't have to be partying every single night. 412 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: I think it's super unattractive. 413 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: You don't have I know I get a ton of 414 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: backlash on this, but I really say, there's no reason 415 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: to be on the apps. Some people are like, I 416 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 3: met my love of my life on the app. Okay, 417 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: you are very rare. A lot of the apps have 418 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: totally changed. They're now inclusive to all different types of genders, 419 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: all different types of backgrounds. They have a tendency to 420 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: be more in alignment with hookup culture rather than the 421 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 3: old school traditional e harmony where it's like I'm looking 422 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: for the love of my life versus now it's like, hey, 423 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: I'm in Atlanta and I need a drop off girl. Like, 424 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: there's different I feel as if there's different intentions behind 425 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: the app. But for women, just wait on the Lord. 426 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: And I know that that's hard, but really just wait 427 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 3: and take the time to enjoy the season of being single. 428 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: God knows what you need. You're human, your husband my husband. 429 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: You did not come a second too late or it's 430 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: second too soon. You came at the exact time in 431 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 3: my life. And I honestly believe because I was right 432 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: with the Lord, I was doing everything that I needed 433 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 3: to be doing. I was focusing on obviously God, but 434 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: career and just in a way where I was like, 435 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 3: you know what, when I'm running my race and I'm 436 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: in a jets dream of healthy things, of having my 437 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 3: life together, you came running right alongside me. So I 438 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 3: think a lot of people just get nervous or try 439 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 3: to force stuff that doesn't work. 440 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: But they shouldn't be hermits. No, not right, they should 441 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: get out And yeah, I mean I always say that 442 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: if you pastors need to do a better job of 443 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: trying to arrange people together, go to church. Totally go 444 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: to the early service. M You know, if you go 445 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: to the early service and you see other young singles there, 446 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: they probably got their act together. Literally Seriously, I did 447 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: you go to the eight am? I totally agree, then 448 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: that's probably a good use of your time, right, like, wow, 449 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: that other person is there. And a lot of churches 450 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: have singles ministries. 451 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 3: They do, and I think also to sometimes a lot 452 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: of people do avoid the singles groups because there's a 453 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: lot of pressure in people being like, hey, do you 454 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: want to go grab coffee? Do you want to do 455 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 3: so there's awkward pressure with that. I get that, But 456 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: for women, I just really believe that we're in such 457 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: I mean, Instagram doesn't help it all. Social media doesn't 458 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 3: help it all. But we're in such a culture where 459 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 3: people want to have instant gratification and just trust me, 460 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 3: swim in a stream of significance and just wait, just wait, 461 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 3: whether that's sexually, whether that's relationally, just wait and I 462 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: promise you God will honor that. 463 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: And we get a lot of very impatient people. I 464 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: think is that fair to say, well, yeah, and I 465 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: get it. 466 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: I mean, no one wants to be, you know, past 467 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 3: the age where they can't have children or But at 468 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: the same time, women too. If you're choosing to live 469 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: in a city like New York City and have a 470 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 3: nine to five career job that you're putting before a 471 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: potential relationship and you're married to your work, that's a 472 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 3: whole different story. So you kind of have to make 473 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: the decision of Okay, what is more important here? What 474 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 3: is more. 475 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: What is what's the priority, right, priority. Yeah, and most 476 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: young men have been completely emasculated and beat down by 477 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: this culture and by they're peers and they have to 478 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: get their act together. A lot of young women are 479 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: complaining I can't find anyone. They're all a bunch of losers, 480 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: and they're not totally wrong, by the way, and then 481 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: or there are a bunch of jerks, which again they're 482 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: not totally wrong, but at the same time, but then 483 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: the men complain about women like you wouldn't. 484 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: Believe, right, because the women totally emasculate the many men. 485 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: They're like, they're super aggressive, and you know, and I mean, 486 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: this is why we're seeing the lowest marriage rates in 487 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: American history. I don't think our parents' generation really understands this. 488 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: They don't understand the numbers. The numbers are so bad. 489 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 1: I know, it's the most single generation in American history, 490 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: the least populated, meaning having less children than ever before, 491 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: most suicidal, most depressed. And there's a lot of different, 492 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, contributing factors to that. And yeah, so people, 493 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: you know, from the male side, I could you know, 494 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: I summarize that kind of quickly, but yeah, I mean, 495 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: you have to do something that has purpose and you 496 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: have to dedicate yourself to that and God is the 497 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: best thing to dedicate yourself totally in that way, totally, 498 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: And there's just there's just this kind of idea that 499 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, I can have an immediately pleasurable life and 500 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: then also find significance That usually doesn't work that way. 501 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: No, and it's super fleeting, and there's nothing. I mean, 502 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: that's trying to build a kingdom on sand. That's just 503 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 3: not going to work. So if you are surrounding yourself 504 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 3: with people, I mean you say it all the time, 505 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 3: you're a lot like the. 506 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: People five most people especially spun time. 507 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 3: With exactly and so just really spend twenty twenty two 508 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: getting your life in order in a way where you're 509 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 3: prioritizing properly your time in the morning and be so 510 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: efficient with your time. I think that's another thing that 511 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: a lot of people totally disregard is even if you 512 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 3: have to go to the point where you are a 513 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: time blocking on your calendar where you say, from six 514 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: am to six fifteen am, I have my time with 515 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 3: the Lord, and then from six fifteen to six point 516 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 3: thirty I'm taking a shower. Like even if you have 517 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 3: to be that regimented with your time. It's such a 518 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: gift that we even have time here on earth, and 519 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 3: so like, really take that time to invest into certain things, 520 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 3: not financially, I'm talking from mind, spirit, body, soul, Like, 521 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: really take the time to invest quality time into things 522 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 3: that really matter. 523 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and matter, and for men, you know, in starting 524 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: in January, you're listening to this, sign up for Bible 525 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: in three sixty five. Obviously get into the word. But 526 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: challenge yourself with something that's attainable. And this speaks more 527 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: to men than women. Not to say women don't need 528 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: to be challenged, but men, especially at that age, need 529 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: to be challenged. And the best way let's just start 530 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: with something super easy. Every young man listening to this 531 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: can challenge yourself physically, you just can't. Let's just start. 532 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: It's so soci. 533 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 3: Sure, even if it's even if you're just walking outside. 534 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you could say that, Okay, I can 535 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: only run a mile in fifteen minutes, and now I 536 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: want to run a mile in twelve minutes. 537 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: I don't even know how long I've run a mile in. 538 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: I only run whatever it's chasing me. It's fifteen slow, 539 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: but whatever it is, challenge yourself towards improvement. And the 540 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: physical one's easy because it's super measurable and it doesn't 541 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: matter where you start. You could be like, yeah, I 542 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: can only run a mile in twenty five minutes. Okay, 543 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: well then let's get it down to twenty. Or I 544 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: can only lift ten pounds, Well, then go to thirty, 545 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, a culture and a 546 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: psychology of improvement will start to set. In a sudden, 547 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I don't feel good when I go 548 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: drinking anymore. Right, it's yeah, because you actually want to improve. Right, 549 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: You're like going in the pursuit and the direction of 550 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: trying to become something better. 551 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: Right, And that's why we were put on this earth 552 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 3: to glorify God, and everything that we do to the 553 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 3: glory of God. And so if what you're doing it 554 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: does not bring glory to God, yeah, don't do it. 555 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: So for high schoolers out there, what's your advice. 556 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 3: High schoolers? I know you would say, don't go to college. 557 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, I I'd just say, learn how to say no 558 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: about everything around you. 559 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 3: I'd say learn how to think. I'd say, really takes really, really, 560 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 3: you have two pairs of eyes, you have your physical 561 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 3: eyes that you see things, and then you have the 562 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 3: eyes of your heart. And you're pretty smart when you're 563 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: in high school. I mean, you don't know everything, that's 564 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: for sure, but you're smart. And just really think with 565 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 3: your heart alongside your eyes and see with both pairs 566 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: of eyes to really just be able to see what's 567 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: really going on in the world and how you can 568 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: fit within the puzzle pieces of the organized chaos of 569 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 3: this world, and how you can really be able to 570 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 3: be a solution rather than continually to be adding to 571 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 3: the problem or continually being a part of the statistics 572 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 3: of TikTok or the statistics of Instagram, collecting your data, 573 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 3: creating a second AI version of you, Like there's things 574 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: and ways for you to be able to stand out. 575 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree.
