Speaker 1: All right?

00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: We are live going down right now. I have Sean

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: McKeon in studio. We brought him again out of retirement

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: once again.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 4: I'm ready to go.

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, Sean, just for the record and

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 3: the listening audience. You know, we've been traveling all over

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: the place, different countries, different parts of the United States,

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: and we've been doing this revival night. We're invading the

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: public schools. It's just been amazing, and we've been doing

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: a lot of shows.

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: I've seen him on the road, amazing shows.

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: We had Ben Saxon from Calvary Chapel, Emirate City out

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: in Maryland. He just graduated from the Bible College, nineteen

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: year old kid talking about getting delivered from pornography and

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: just really bringing it on that show. That thing was amazing.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: That was a couple of weeks ago.

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: And then I had Austin Hamrick.

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: I saw that real that kind of circulated. I actually

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: took that clip and I kind of broke it down

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: a little bit like in my study because it just

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: kind of lined up about that artificial intelligence dynamic and

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 4: the world that we're living in, the deception and how

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: that can infiltrate the church and so much deception and

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: people are lonely and they get lost in different That

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: was a pretty epic thought, but that's reality and the

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: days we're living in.

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: That is a very scary thought, you know.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: And the people that haven't heard about it, it was

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: basically they had someone call their church and say that

36
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: they're in a relationship with AI. Because AI talks, you

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: could choose the voice and just really it just turns

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: into a full on communication back and forth.

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: And like you said, people are lonely.

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: I mean they say, this is the most connected with

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: the loneliest generation ever. And if your wife's not meeting

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: your needs, or your husband's not meeting your needs or family,

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: or you're just you know, kind of a loner, you

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: don't ever have to leave your house.

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: And actually you can leave your house and have conversation.

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: With AI while drinking coffee or eating mistake somewhere with

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: this computer in your headphones.

48
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is insane if you really think

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: about it.

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: No, listening to that just made my mind go a

51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 4: lot of different places thinking about it. Because you think

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 4: about it, you can obviously because of the algorithm that's

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: there that we have seen, like through our Instagram and stuff.

54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: You say something and then boom, that ad comes up.

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: Oh that knows what you desire, he knows what your

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: likes are. And so having that kind of ability, now

57
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: you have somebody, you have a machine basically that can

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: cater to your things that make you happy, that connect

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: with you. But there's deception, like whether it's just generic

60
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: AI or somebody purposely man targeting people for their benefit,

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: like they lure older people and they enter into a

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: relationship and something, and the man they take them money.

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: And so crazy world we're living.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: That's where a lot of human trafficking stuff happens too.

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 3: You know, we've had multiple people on the show what's

66
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: her name, I can't even think of her name right now,

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Opel Singleton, Oh yeah, you know, and how she talks

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: about how these human traffickers and people are coming in

69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: through computers. It's a whole different way. It's not like

70
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: they just come pick you up. They set you up,

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: they groom you, and then they do a meetup and

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: then you're gone. It's it's just really wild times.

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: I know you have a direction, you want to go

74
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: on the show, like I'd bring a step back you.

75
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: Did you see the thing a few months ago where

76
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: that older lady fell in love that she was in

77
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: a relationship with Brad Pitt. It was like all over

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: the news, major magazines, but it was an AI deception

79
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: thing like Brad Pitt's mom thought. They reached out to

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: this lady and they had started having this conversation, if

81
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: you can pray for my son, he's very sick and

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, and she's like yeah, in the praying form,

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: and then it's Brad Pitt, don't let anybody know. And

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: then she sends a link and it's like a zoom

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: and it's like a picture, but it's not him. It

86
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: looks like him in a hospital. Ben and this.

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Lady like aihoto. It was both.

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: It was it was I think a photo that began,

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: but then an AI dude. It was all over like

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: People magazine. This girl got long story short, you gotta

91
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: look it up for yourself, but I believe she got.

92
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: She lost about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: this because he's saying that he's.

94
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: In the hospital.

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: Obviously Brad Pitts a multimillionaire. What but they're saying that

96
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: my you know, my money's tied up. I'm going through

97
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: the divorce with Angelina and a lot of stuff going on.

98
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: But me and you, like, we're gonna be together forever.

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: You get to help me through this time. And dude,

100
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: that's real.

101
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: I saw something about this a while ago. I didn't

102
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: realize and I was like, this is insane.

103
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I did not realize.

104
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: It went mainstream news for for like a week or two,

105
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: and I actually dived into it a little bit. I'm like,

106
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: that is insane.

107
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: That's insane.

108
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, people, I mean, just since we're

00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't trust nothing anymore. These are the times we're

128
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: living in.

129
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: The Other one that comes really big is like, hey,

00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: the other day, I go, I got no qualifications.

133
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Wrong person. It's it's it's really.

134
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: Crazy worlded deception, and that's why it's important to know

135
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: truth and have a discerning spirit in the days that

136
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: we're living in. Today, again we talk about technology. Technology

137
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: is amazing and it makes us allows us to do

138
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: the show that actually reaches the world. You I know,

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: get so many messages from people that have been impacted

140
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: by the show and your teachings. Over the time. I've

141
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: gotten a lot of message over the time too, so

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 4: so many benefits. But with anything, the enemy can use

143
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: the tools in this world for deception, so we gotta

144
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: be really wise.

145
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, And we have got a lot of d

146
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: ms and emails of people listening to the show and

147
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: they are they're blessed us from the content that that's

148
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: coming out of it.

149
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: And that's that's actually a good lead up for today's show.

150
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: I was just have this verse in mind from a

151
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: study I'm put together right now. It's Proverbs three Versus

152
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: five to six says, trust in the Lord with all

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 3: your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding, and

154
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: seek his will and all you do, and he will

155
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: show you what paths to take. Paths with the with

156
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: the s. First of all, trust in the Lord with

157
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: all your heart. Not some not a peace, but all.

158
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: You got to trust him with your life, that he

159
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: knows best and that he has a plan from you

160
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: from the very beginning of time. But it won't be

161
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: revealed until you start by trusting in Him with all

162
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: your heart. And then this, do not depend on your

163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: own understanding. Sometimes God has us do stuff. It just

164
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense, you know, But it's one of the

165
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: paths to another path, to the path. You know what

166
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm saying, because He takes you on these these pathways, So.

167
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Do not depend on your own understanding.

168
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: I like I like that that saying, commit your do

169
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: your best and commit the rest. Right, But sometimes you're

170
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: just like, you know what, God, I did my best

171
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: and I've committed the rest because I don't.

172
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Get I don't get it.

173
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: But this is where I feel that You've led me

174
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: to this point in my life to do, to do

175
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: what I've done so far in whatever this arena is.

176
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: And then it says in that process, seek His will

177
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: in all you do, in all, not some, in every

178
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: aspect of your life, everything that you touch, any opportunity

179
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: you have, anything that comes into your life.

180
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Seek His will and all you do, and He will

181
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: show you what pas to take.

182
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 3: And that is the key to a fulfilled life with

183
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. And there's many times and this is the

184
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: thing that I have to fight against. You have to

185
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: fight against, we all, even the listeners have to fight against,

186
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: is that you don't want to be a Christian operating

187
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: in the shallow waters.

188
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: It's boring. Go to a beach, and go to a

189
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: beach and go run around the shore. You know, you

190
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: could do it for a minute and you get your feet.

191
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: Wet and you're like, okay, I'm bored, right, But hey,

192
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: go out into the deep waters and see what happens

193
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: when there's waves. You start paddling, body surfing, you're getting

194
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: broke off. You almost feel like you're gonna drown, You're

195
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: gonna die. You're having that time of your life right

196
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: in the deep waters. But in the Christian walk, we

197
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: could get bored in the in our Christian walk in

198
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: ministry if you're working at church, or you could get

199
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: bored just being a Christian out out because you're not

200
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: you're not living life to the fullest. Or you could

201
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 3: get caught up and just doing your routine. You wake up,

202
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: you listen to your Bible study, or you read your

203
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: devotion and then you check it off the list, but

204
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: your mind's not even there. You're just kind of going

205
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 3: through the motions. Like this happened to me the other day.

206
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: I was so busy trying to get things done that

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: I was burning through my devotions and I'm like, what did.

208
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I just read?

209
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: Because at the end, I was like, okay, cool, I

210
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: got through my four devotion books, and I read my

211
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: one chapter of Proverbs and I'm all, wait a minute, what,

212
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I don't remember what I read, but I checked it

213
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: off and I could have moved on. So then I

214
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: go hold on stop, and then I had to go backwards,

215
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: and then I went all over again, and I was

216
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: like focus and started reading through it again so I

217
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: could actually do it. So we can't get into we

218
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: can't end up in the in the shallow waters, because

219
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: when you're in the shallow waters, it's no fun, it's

220
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: not an adventurous and clearly you're just you're not shot.

221
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: You're not going deep with God.

222
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: When you go deep with God and you're seeking as

223
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: well on all you do, and that verses coming to life,

224
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: he starts showing you what pas the take is. You

225
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: commit your ways to him, and that's when it gets exciting.

226
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: It's the faith walk. It's the fearless faith walk. When

227
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: God speaks to you, when you read, you pray, you

228
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: talk to him, and then you be obedient and you

229
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 3: do it every day. He will give you exactly what

230
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: you need for the day, and he will open doors

231
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: on how he wants to use you. Whether you pray

232
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: for someone maybe you just encourage someone, even if someone

233
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: comes up and talks to you and you encourage them,

234
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: even what you read in that morning, you're like and

235
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: that guys, that person's like, wow, I really need to

236
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: hear that, dude, that you're smiling all day.

237
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, something that little. But how are you going to

238
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: give from something that you have not received? Right?

239
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: Yep? No, you know, bringing up this scripture is probably

240
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 4: one of the most recited proverbs. I'm actually teaching through

241
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: the Book of Proverbs right now on Sunday evenings, and

242
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: I just I think I'm in chapter five. I'm going

243
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: to chapter six actually, So this scripture in particular, it's

244
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: always ringd true with me because this is basically when

245
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: it says trust the Lord with all your heart, like

246
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: ryand said, it's everything that you are, because oftentimes we

247
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: trust in the Lord when we have to. You know,

248
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: a lot of times people trust in their knowledge. Sometimes

249
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 4: they trust in their bank account, sometimes they trust in

250
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: who they know to get them through situations instead of

251
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: trusting the Lord. And that's why one of the reasons

252
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 4: why Jesus says it's hard for a rich man to

253
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: enter the Kingdom of God. It wasn't really a mark

254
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: against rich people. It was a lesson that oftentimes people

255
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: that are very wealthy and rich, they trust in their

256
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: riches instead of trusting in the Lord. But obviously it

257
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: was just a thing on that particular man that God

258
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: was trying to show him. Jesus was trying to show

259
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: him that you have to trust Me with everything you

260
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: have because for him in particular, and this isn't the

261
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: same for everybody, he told me to go so sell

262
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: all his possessions, and I want to say to go

263
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: do that. This is a lesson for this man.

264
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: He said that to that one guy, not to everyone.

265
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: It's not to everyone, it's for that one man. Because

266
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 4: that's a balance of scripture, right, Because there are people

267
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: that are very wealthy. There are wise like God's blessed

268
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: them with wealth that are able to even in the

269
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: beginning of the church, there are people that had money

270
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: and riches they were able to give to the work

271
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: of a Philippi of Ephesus. Of all the early churches,

272
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: Nicodemus was wealthy. There were a lot of people that

273
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: God used in their influence in their life. This particular man,

274
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: the Lord corrected because he was in a place where

275
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: it was becoming a weakness in his life, and the

276
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 4: Lord wanted to show him that he had to trust

277
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: him with all of his heart and to not lean

278
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: on his own understanding. I think that is the big

279
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 4: thing too. Like when you look at in the Old Testament,

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: in the Book of Isaiah, there was this king, King Usiah,

281
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: that had a big influence. I remember the first Pastor's

282
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: Conference that when Chuck Smith died, it was in Costa Mesa,

283
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: and Damien Kyle gave an amazing message on King Uziah.

284
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: And that's when Isaiah says that when King Usiah died,

285
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: I saw the Lord high and lifted up, and the

286
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 4: train of his robe filled the temple with glory. Why

287
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 4: because this great leader that he looked up to. And

288
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: Damien used it as like the Chruck Smith. Chuck's taken

289
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: out of the way. A lot of people they leaned

290
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: upon his wisdom, his knowledge is understanding. Now the Lord

291
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: takes him home. Now you're left to maybe finn for yourself,

292
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: trust in the Lord with all your heart, as Chuck

293
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: and the people of faith have before, because you can't

294
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 4: trust in men. You have people that you can glean

295
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: from in life. But the Lord wants us to be

296
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: trust it. We want the Lord wants us to trust

297
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: in him, because sometimes he'll remove those things in her

298
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: life that maybe we're trusting him instead of him. And

299
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: the word leaning if you think about like leaning on something.

300
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: When that leaning, when something is taken out of the way,

301
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: you fall. But when you're leaning on the Lord, he

302
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: will never leave you, he will never forsake you, and

303
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: he will direct your pass. And I think that that

304
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: is a great lesson for all of us you talk

305
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: about these lessons of faith. I think one of the

306
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: coolest examples in the Old Testament was when the children

307
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: of is you imagine going through the wilderness journey taken

308
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: it's all the Red Sea part taken from bondage. And

309
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: as they sent out the twelve spies to go spy

310
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: the land that they were gonna have, and they were

311
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: gonna have it early. They come back and they gave

312
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: a report, like a lot of them like, dude, there's

313
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: malons there, like the fruit. Dude, look at the fruit.

314
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: It's amazing. But the ten were like, but there's giants

315
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: in the land, you know what, They're more powerful than us. Like,

316
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: and now what happened is all the people were like

317
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: you brought us out here to die, like we're not

318
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: going to make it, and Caleb and Joshua says, hey, like, yeah,

319
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: there are giants in the land the fruit, but the

320
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: land is right before us. And if God is for us, like,

321
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: who can be against us? And these men or these

322
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: people are nothing compared to the Lord. Joshua and Caleb

323
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 4: are examples of two men that trust in the Lord

324
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: with all of their heart.

325
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: They didn't lean on their own.

326
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 4: Understanding, they didn't look at let the circumstances bring them

327
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: fear and right. If you remember all of those that

328
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: murmured and complained, all of those they died in the wilderness.

329
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: The only ones that.

330
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: Came that were this age were Joshua and Caleb, the

331
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: two that had faith. And when Joshua and Caleb and

332
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: all the younger people come into the land to overtake

333
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 4: it forty years later, Caleb says, give me the mountain,

334
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: Like he didn't want the easy pathway as an older man.

335
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: He wanted to still have these moments of trusting in

336
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: the Lord. He didn't want it what you said there

337
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: just be in the shallows to just take it easy.

338
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: Give me the mountain and I'll show that God will

339
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: move in my life. I don't need a comfy.

340
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: Well isn't that what we want to see? Like, I mean,

341
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: that's what I want to see. I want to I

342
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: want to be able to brag about what God did

343
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: because you know, when you're when you're hanging out with

344
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: people that are that are faith people, you hear those stories.

345
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: And when you're telling some.

346
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: Of the stories that that God has done in your life,

347
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: these big.

348
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Stories, people are like what you know. But it's it's

349
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: not like for me.

350
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: God can do it with anybody, you know what I mean,

351
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: you can do it with all of us. It's just

352
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: the question is are you want to stay in the

353
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: shallows or do you want to go to the deep waters?

354
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: And this guy want to go to the deep waters.

355
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: That's the deep waters, that's the land of mil good honey.

356
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: God told them I'm gonna take you there. And by

357
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: the way, they survived in the wilderness with what they

358
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: had for forty years, and they had the fire of God,

359
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: the pillar of fire by night, you know, and and

360
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: by day it's like that the cloud covering all that.

361
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: It's like the miracles were there, so they knew God

362
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: is with them.

363
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: But they were scared to go in.

364
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: But all it took is a couple guys that had

365
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: fearless faith to go do it. And then those are

366
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: the moments in your life though, that you always could

367
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: look back. It's like the hall of faith, right when

368
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: God does these things in your life, and he continues

369
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: from when you're young too year old. But it's just

370
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: what I've realized in my life is things don't happen

371
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: unless I'm pressing in right.

372
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that?

373
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: Like the more I step out my faith and pray

374
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: for people, the more stuff I see happen, like people

375
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: getting saved, or the more I open my mouth to

376
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: preach people getting saved, people getting filled with the spirit

377
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: and gail their hands on them, or maybe a healing

378
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 3: or maybe a word or all whatever it is, all

379
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: that stuff that God allows us to be used with

380
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 3: and through us, it doesn't happen unless you're actually stepping

381
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: out by faith. And that even goes with even big

382
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: big projects or big things or big leaves of faith

383
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: a movie or jobs, or it's all by faith. But

384
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: the reality is it's very easy to get into christian.

385
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: What is it?

386
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: Uh, I was gonna say us Christianity, American Christianity, American Christianity,

387
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: and just be like it's safe. I went to church

388
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: on Sunday, I read my Bible and I'm done and

389
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go about my life.

390
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Dude, that is so lame. That's boring. I mean, it's

391
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: it's about reading the Bible, believing what it says, and

392
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: then living like it. You know.

393
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: One of the biggest.

394
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: Beliving like you read, living like you believe it.

395
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 4: Basically one of the biggest things against that will hinder

396
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: anybody in their walk of faith and trusting the Lord

397
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: is one word. It's fear. Yes, fear is the biggest

398
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: hindrance in your life. That's why the Bible says in

399
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: Proverbs it's the fear of men is a snare. The

400
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 4: Bible tells us the only one that we are to

401
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: fear is fear God himself and live in the reverence

402
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 4: fear of him. But whenever the churn the visual in

403
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: the Old Testament lived in fear, they were in bondage.

404
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: And the New Testament, when men are living in fear,

405
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: they're missing out on the blessings of God. And guess

406
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: what you can have all the faith in the world.

407
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: You're going to go these situations in your life that

408
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: are going to challenge you. They're going to challenge you.

409
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 4: You're going to be tested. I know, it doesn't matter

410
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 4: who you are. Timothy was with Paul. He did missionary

411
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 4: journeys with him. He saw the power of God. He

412
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: saw people being freed from demon possession. He saw many

413
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 4: people come into the Lord. He saw all these things.

414
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: And then he was placed in the most prominent church,

415
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: one of the most prominent churches in the New Testament, Ephesus,

416
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: where Paul spent his longest time, where John the Apostles

417
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: spent time and Timothy spent time. But when Timothy was

418
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: there kind of holding down the fort and being a pastor,

419
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 4: taking care of these people. And two Timothy, he's about

420
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: to throw in the towel and he's burden. He is stressed.

421
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to do ministry. That's what's implied there.

422
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 4: And that's why right out the gate, when Paul is

423
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: trying to encourage this young man of quitting ministry, he says, hey, Timothy,

424
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 4: remember the elders laid hands on you. God has a

425
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: call for your life. The faith that was in your

426
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: mom and was in your grandma. I believe it's in

427
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 4: you as well. But check this out. God has not

428
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love,

429
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 4: and of a sound mind. God has a mission for

430
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: your life. You must fulfill it. And I'll tell you what.

431
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: There are many different seasons you go on in your

432
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: Christian life. When you're fresh and you see the power

433
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: of God working in life, when you're born again in

434
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit, and you see these victories. Man, it's like, man,

435
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: for some of it, it's sobriety. It's like, dude, I

436
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: don't feel like gett high. I don't feel like getting hammered.

437
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: You see relationships start to you reconcile, You start seeing

438
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: things from a different lens. You start stepping out by faith.

439
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: You have peace, you have joy. When he first discovered

440
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: that God has given you gifts and talents, and you're like, dang,

441
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: Like we've talked about this before. We're not natural speakers,

442
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 4: and that's not our territory as far as teaching or whatever.

443
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 4: But when the Lord goes before you and you walk back,

444
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 4: you're like, how did that happen? Kind of thing, and

445
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 4: you see the power of God. Those are moments of

446
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: like those are like those mountaintop experiences where you see

447
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: the power of God working. But with everything in our

448
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 4: Christian life, there are mountaintop experiences, but there are times

449
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: when you're in the valley the training though it's the training,

450
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: and that's an area where you have to trust in

451
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: the Lord because there's sometimes where you want to bounce.

452
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: I've been a ministry here for twenty years with your dad.

453
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: You don't think that there's been times that I wanted

454
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: to bounce and think about going to do a regular

455
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: job and have a regular life and have those Sunday

456
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 4: mornings with the kids and stuff like all go into

457
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: church like a normal person and then leaving and doing

458
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 4: the thing that's not the territory that God's called me

459
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 4: to and through that the different seasons and the stresses

460
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: of life. Sometimes sometimes it takes faith to stay. Sometimes

461
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 4: it takes faith to really trust in the Lord and

462
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 4: moments in your life where you're feeling stressed. When you're

463
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: feeling pressed, people don't know. My wife knows. Some people know.

464
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: You know a little bit right, And like I battle

465
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: with a lot of different things physically. Sometimes I have

466
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 4: stomach issues, I have migraine issues. I want to tell

467
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: you what sometimes I tell people I sometimes I don't

468
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: think about teaching any longer. You know, I teach by faith.

469
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: Every time that I that I go up to teach,

470
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: I trust in the power of God. And there's moments,

471
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: there's battles like right before I speak. Sometimes like I've

472
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: had moments where I'm teaching in my first five to

473
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: ten minutes, I'm about to walk off the stage, like

474
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: the mentals Okay, if I walk off here because of this,

475
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: nobody recognizes it. Yeah, nobody understands. And you know, in

476
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: the moment I have this battle, sometimes they're like I'm

477
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: not going to do this no more. I'm done. And

478
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 4: then you make it through and and you see the

479
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: power of God again. This last Sunday, I was walking

480
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: through I was busy doing something and this couple comes

481
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: up to me and really really nice and like, hey,

482
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 4: you're Sean McKean. I'm like yeah. She's like we're from

483
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: Fort Lauderdale. He's like, been watching you, been watching rab

484
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 4: been watching Ryan, and like from a distance, just wants

485
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: you to know, like God's anointed you, God's called you,

486
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 4: thank you for your life. I want you to know

487
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 4: that we pray for you. By name, like I don't

488
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: know these people. I don't know these people at all.

489
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: But it's like again a reminder of like trusting in

490
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 4: the Lord, not leaning on your own weakness, the things

491
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 4: that shress you out, because maybe it would be easier

492
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 4: doing things your own way. Because I'm a I am

493
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: more of an introvert by nature, you know, like that

494
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 4: with my homies like you and stuff like that, I

495
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 4: can hang out and have a good time, but yeah,

496
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: I go be by myself. I could be by my wife,

497
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: my kids. I don't even talk to nobody. That's my nature.

498
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 4: But it's not what God's called me to do. And

499
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: so for me being in faith, being a part of

500
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 4: the ministry and all that kind of stuff is a

501
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 4: big challenge sometimes. But that's just a practical adapt.

502
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: Which with yeah, with what you're saying.

503
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: It was interesting as I was actually thinking about this

504
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: this morning. This is some studies, and uh, it's thinking

505
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: about how it's so crazy. Oh, my my nephew was

506
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: at my dad's house yesterday when I flew in and

507
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: I was trying to get my study together and I've

508
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: been having a nightma with this study.

509
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: It's like it's just taken.

510
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: So long I'm speaking at the pastor's conference, and you know,

511
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: and and it has to be done, you know, it's

512
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: I want to I want to make sure it's super

513
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: on point for for this, you know. But I'm I'm

514
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 3: like a perfection when it comes to studies as well,

515
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: Like I wanted to be a yeah.

516
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that doesn't help. So I got all that.

517
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: I wanted to be strong and every study I wanted

518
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 3: to be strong and powerful, right, and uh, there's thing

519
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: has just been driving me crazy. And then I fly in.

520
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: I'm updating it on the on the plane and write

521
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 3: my notes. I land and I'm like, okay, let me

522
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: let me h make sure it prints right. I'm trying

523
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: to do my updates from my chicken scratch on my

524
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: paper on the way in, and my nephew's like, uncle, hey,

525
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: come play baseball. I me, hey, uncle, this is that.

526
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I'm gonna listen. I'm like, I have

527
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: to type this stuff out. I go, Uncle's not good

528
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: at this stuff. I've always been bad at reading and

529
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: and and spelling and horrible typing. And I'm like, and

530
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: he's just he's like trying to shove ice cream in

531
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: my face. And here, try it, eat it, you'll like it.

532
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 3: And I'm like, dude, let me focus. I'm like, and

533
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, I'm like, God has a

534
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: sense of humor. Like in the areas that we're not

535
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: strong in, this is where he has us delivering right,

536
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: Like he's having us like type out studies, reading, doing

537
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: Bible studies, going out and speaking in front of you.

538
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: I've been stage fright from going out in front of

539
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: people my whole life. Remember when we got back from

540
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: Israel and my dad was like, it was me and

541
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: your brother. I don't know if you were on the stage,

542
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: but it was me and your brother and some other people.

543
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: They go, yeah, we're gonna call up the people they

544
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: want the trip to come share. I was in the

545
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: backstage and when they called everyone up, I went running

546
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: out the back. I didn't go up, and all we

547
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: had to do is talk about our Israel trip. I

548
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 3: didn't want to do it. But then here God does it.

549
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: It's the power of God. He gives you his thoughts,

550
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: his ideas, his plans as you're in prayer and the

551
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: word right they go hand in hand, and then he

552
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: illuminates your mind with your spirit. And then you start

553
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: putting your study together and then he empowers you to

554
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: go up and speak.

555
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: But this could be in anything.

556
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 3: This is just like one channel that I'm talking about

557
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: one area that I'm not comfortable with. Like even there's

558
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: another funny thought I had on the plane. I'm like,

559
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: I'm going to speak at a pastor's conference. Like that's

560
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: the weirdest thing for me. Like think about it, like

561
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: that's the weirdest place for me to be in to

562
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: go be speaking to pastors, Like I don't feel like

563
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: I belong in there speaking two pastors.

564
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: So when I put Bible studies.

565
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: Together exause, I was taking texting Mike Mike McClure, and

566
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: I was like.

567
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Hey, like is it like how many pastors are there?

568
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: Are there? Like leaders are the young people?

569
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: They go, there's gonna be a three hundred and there

570
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: are some leaders there. So I'm like, okay, cool my message.

571
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm going in to go speak to the young leaders. Yeah,

572
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: because I'm like, what am I gonna tell the pastors?

573
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: You know, like I've only been in the game like

574
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: nineteen years, you know. But it's just funny, like the

575
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: whole thought process. But God has a sense of humor.

576
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: Where they're like, hey, Ken McCarry's can't make it, we're

577
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: bringing you in to do it. I'm like, I'm Ken

578
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: Grame's replacement. That's the best they could do.

579
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: And you can't sing. No Graves can sing.

580
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: I'm feeling for Ken Graves.

581
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: Those are some big shoes, like literally some big shoes. Yeah,

582
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: probably has probably six sixteen.

583
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm just saying like it's the most bizarre thing.

584
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: And then I thought, okay, well, well you know what

585
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: the coolest thing is is I'm gonna be sharing the

586
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: stage with my dad.

587
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Like that's a cool, cool operative.

588
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: But I say all that to say this, in your

589
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: life where God God has you, He like, don't look

590
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 3: at what you're doing. God has plans for you, and

591
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: He will enable you. He will power empower you, and

592
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: He will.

593
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: Use you in areas you can't even imagine.

594
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: Not even in your wildest fantasies, would you think that

595
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: God would use you in these eras. You have no

596
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: idea basically how God wants to use your life. Until

597
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: you submit your ways to the Lord and trust in

598
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: Him with all your heart and lean not on your

599
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: own understanding, and He will show you what paths to

600
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: take because there was many paths that I have taken

601
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: to get me to this moment. And it started with

602
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: me speaking at rehabs with three to four people on

603
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: a Monday night or Tuesday night. It wasn't no stage,

604
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: it wasn't no pastor of it, and I had no

605
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: plans for any of that. But God was speaking to

606
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: me and He's like, go share what I have done.

607
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: And you know where my testimony ended. And I gave

608
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: my life to Jesus Christ in a hotel room and

609
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: he took away the drugs and alcohol.

610
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: Amen. And that was it. That was the story.

611
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: But then as God evolves and he works in your

612
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: life and transformed you and gives you his heart, his mind,

613
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: his thoughts. As you're committing your ways to the Lord,

614
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: he shows you what pas to take and we're going

615
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: to talk about some amazing faith stories at the next

616

Speaker 3: on our own understanding, and he will show us what

634
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: paths to take. That first half was amazing, by the way,

635
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: and let's let's just go now into uh, let's just

636
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: go into some stories as we commit our ways to

637
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: the Lord and he shows us the paths and he

638
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: leads us and guides us.

639
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: And let's talk about some cool face stories.

640
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: As we pulled a lot of stuff from scripture in

641
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: the first half, but let's talk about some cool face

642
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: stories that can encourage people that Jesus Christ is the

643
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes. He's still

644
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 3: doing these amazing miracles in our life. He takes us

645
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: through the.

646
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: Valley, and in the valleys is where we learn.

647
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: He strengthens our character, He teaches us patients, he teaches

648
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: us how to deal with fear. I mean, there's a

649
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: lot of learning lessons in those valleys, all that mental

650
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: stuff that you could you could go through, physical stuff

651
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: that you could go through these valleys. But then he

652
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: takes you to these mountaintop experiences and the faith walk.

653
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: It's a journey. It's exciting. You know, we were talking

654
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: about the very beginning of the show, like you don't

655
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: want to be stuck in your boring, maintain shallow Christian

656
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: life going to the beach and just playing in the

657
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: shallow where the water gets on your.

658
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Ankles, you're like running around woo.

659
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: That's like maybe, you know, maybe if you're like a

660
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: big maybe like you know, two years older or something,

661
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: that might be fun. But a grown man going to

662
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: the beach, you want to get out into the waters.

663
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: And when you start heading out, you start getting out

664
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: to the break the shore break right, start dropping it

665
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: on waves. You're getting barreled, You're you're getting slammed to

666
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: the ground. You know, we saw that one that wouldn't

667
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: be that guy on the raft where you hit the

668
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: waves of his pants been fighting out Like I mean,

669
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: that could happen at the beach.

670
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: You know, you might lose your pants or something when

671
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: you get broke off hard enough on that short break.

672
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, This stuff is fun.

673
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: This is fun. But this is the Christian life. It

674
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: has to be fun.

675
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: And the only way it's gonna be fun is you

676
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: got to get out of your boring routine. And you

677
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: could be a Christian and you could be doing ministry

678
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: at a church.

679
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: And be bored. You're just going through your routine.

680
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: But you need to read, pray and actually believe what

681
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: you read and ask God to help you to live

682
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: it out and ask him to open doors and to

683
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: take into the deep waters. And guess what, be careful

684
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: what you ask for, because he will. I've seen it

685
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 3: over and over and over. But it's not our timing,

686
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: it's his timing. But he'll take into those deep waters,

687
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 3: all right, and he'll test your faith and he'll he

688
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: goes this is the thing he wants to glorify the Father, right,

689
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: and it's through the Son Jesus. So basically, he wants

690
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: to use our life to glorify him.

691
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: This is why we're here.

692
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: But the question is are you able to step out

693
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: in faith and do it? And like you said the

694
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: first half, fear and faith, right, those are the whole issues. Well,

695
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: I've heard Chuck Smith say fear and faith are exclusive.

696
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: They're exclusive to each other. You can't have one or

697
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: the other. You have to be on one or the other.

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: They can't coexist together. So we have to have that

699
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: fearless faith. But it will not happen unless you're filled

700
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: with the spirit. And if you're filled with the spirit

701
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: needs to be controlled with the Word of God and

702
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: empowered and that comes from reading. There's some verses on

703
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: faith I want to read before we get into this,

704
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: uh this next half. If I can even find them

705
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: on my notes here. You know, this study that I've

706
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: been working on, I keep losing it. So faith, So

707
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 3: let's read a couple of verses on faith. So here's

708
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: here's a classic right here. We'll start with that says this.

709
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: It says faith faith shows the reality of what we

710
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 3: hope for, and it's the evidence of things we cannot see.

711
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 3: That's Hebrews eleven to one classic verse. Another classic Hebrews

712
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: eleven six. But without faith, it is impossible to please God.

713
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: For he who comes to God must believe that He

714
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: is and that He is the rewarder of those who

715
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 3: diligently seek him.

716
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: I like that.

717
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: That's a great verse, the rewarder of those who diligently

718
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: seek him.

719
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: If you like, God use my life, how come you're

720
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: not doing? Are you diligently seeking him?

721
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: How about the first part of that where it says

722
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 4: without faith, it's impossible to please God.

723
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like you can't even start.

724
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: You can't even start God.

725
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: God.

726
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 4: God wants you you to trust Him, and when you do,

727
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 4: you're going to see the power of God working through

728
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: your life. And like you said that, I was thinking

729
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 4: about what you're saying, given the illustration of like the

730
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: shallow water. But it's like when you go through those

731
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: different challenges and testings, or you see God use your

732
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 4: life in a powerful way that's out of your comfort zone,

733
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: it comes to a place where you feel alive. You

734
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 4: feel alive when God uses your life, and just in

735
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 4: a powerful way where it's like because sometimes, like what

736
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 4: you said, Ryan, when you're going through the motions of stuff,

737
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: like it doesn't feel like your life sometimes you are

738
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: just going through the motions. But then when you kind

739
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 4: of revisit, like just simple things stepping out by faith,

740
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 4: going up to somebody and you know, being sensitive to

741
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 4: God's spirit, like God actually does go before you, like

742
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: his word says, like he does open up a door.

743
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes your fear will be like, no, I don't want

744
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 4: to talk to this person or they're not going to

745
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 4: listen to me, and then you your sensitive God's spirit

746
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 4: and you just start up a conversation. It stop starts

747
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 4: opening up over and over.

748
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: One thing.

749
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: Myself and and mind of the guys would meet at

750
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 4: at the gym sometimes when we would always go in

751
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: the sauna. In the end, we'd call it a sauna ministry. Basically,

752
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 4: it would take place because you're in there, you start

753
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: talking with stuff, and something trigger somebody says something, and

754
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: before you know it, like God moves like oftentimes in

755
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 4: these in these conversations, like until you start almost passing

756
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: out and you got to get out because you're in

757
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: the too long. But you're like conversating with people. There's

758
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 4: a sensitivity to the to the needs of people. Sometimes

759
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 4: it's just the perception of faith or they're going through

760
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 4: a tough time. Me and Miner were in there a

761
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: couple of months ago and this girl was talking about

762
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 4: her life. Her her sister had just got killed like

763
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 4: a month or two prior like that, Like you said,

764
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 4: it like gnarly out of nowhere, Like it was just

765
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 4: au and there was like different kind of people in there.

766
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: So once we talked a little bit. But once she

767
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 4: went out and she was walking out, I said something

768
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 4: to her. I'm like, so, like what took place? And

769
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: started talking with her and then talked about like faith

770
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 4: and how she walked away from the faith and blah

771
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah. I started talking and then the

772
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 4: Lord just gave me words of wisdom and encouragement. I

773
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 4: let her know what I do in my background or whatever.

774
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 4: Prayed for her right there. And God has those moments

775
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 4: and just being sensitive to the Holy Spirit, you're like dang,

776
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 4: like you know, when you just activate the faith, God

777
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: goes before you.

778
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you, those are probably the

779
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: coolest moments I think in Christianity. It's not like it's

780
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 3: not the big moment of like yeah that's cool. Oh yeah,

781
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: you do a big ultcar you see a bunch of

782
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: people get safe. But the coolest moments. That's like the

783
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: shotgun gospel. You're just shotgun and then you know, God

784
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: just brings people. But it's the sniper gospel, which is amazing.

785
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: It's the one on one and when you're actually engaged

786
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: and you're flee tuned in, you see their eyes and

787
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: you see the wheels clicking, the wheel's turning and things clicking,

788
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: and God's giving you words and you're sharing with them.

789
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: And you don't have to be a pastor to do that.

790
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 3: It's just you could share with them that God can

791
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 3: give you scriptures or or just encourage that person and

792
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: that could even push them to get back in faith.

793
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking about some as you were

794
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: saying this, like some you're in the sauna, you and

795
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: you and Minor. I mean, that's just a funny picture.

796
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: That's just a funny picture for me to I did

797
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: that on purpose to add minor.

798
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 3: Do you imagine did you see that license plate? Did

799
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: he send you his license?

800
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: What was it called? Uh A cross fat cross Is

801
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: that really his license? Late?

802
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: No, somebody was that of CrossFit cross fat A little short,

803
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 3: chubby Mexican guy.

804
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: So you got a little short, chubby Mexican miner.

805
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: And then you got a white boy, Irish boy in

806
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: the in the sauna, you two hanging out together. That's

807
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: just a funny, uh picture together. So but here this comfort,

808
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: this pretty deep, gnarly conversation happens, right, and then you

809
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: get to you know, point her the faith and then

810
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 3: hopefully she got pried plugging in church. I was thinking

811
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: about this other crazy story the other day is that

812
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: I was I missed.

813
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: A flight and I got re routed and I had

814
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: to be on.

815
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: They put me instead of my Oh, I missed a

816
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 3: flight out of Boise to a direct flight from Boys

817
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: to LA And I was sitting right by the gate

818
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: and I had my headphones and I was on a

819
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: phone call. I never missed my flights. I missed it,

820
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: and they go, well, now you have to go through

821
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 3: San Francisco on this next one. So I went through

822
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: San Francisco with a connection.

823
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: And I ended up they.

824
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 3: I ended up next to the girlfriend of the director

825
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: of this huge Hollywood gay thing in Hollywood, like a

826
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: top dog in there, and I didn't know, and I'm

827
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: talking to her and we just started talking about We

828
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 3: started talking about stories and and she I had mentioned

829
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: that I believed in God, and she just was very

830
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: bitter and hated that.

831
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: But being her just VI, we were kind of like

832
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: she kind of remind me of Sharon. Remember, you know

833
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: my friend Sharona.

834
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: Sharona, she was like that kind of a girl. So

835
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 3: we were just Sharon's like one of my good friends

836
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: I grew up with. But we were just so we

837
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: were just talking back and forth, just vibing right on

838
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: another level.

839
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: And then all that to say, basically what happened is the.

840
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 3: Whole conversation turned around to her. After telling her my testimony,

841
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 3: she told me that she her and her girlfriend that

842
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: are married, her wife, they they got did a saragate

843
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: and they had a baby and the baby looked just

844
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 3: like her, and the baby died.

845
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: At two years old. So she was bitter at God.

846
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 3: And anyway, she and I's gotten this deep conversation and

847
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: she's a lesbian. I'm like, so I always asking people

848
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 3: or lesbian's, I'm like, how'd you become gay? Like did

849
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: you know you were gay? Or you know, I don't

850
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 3: believe you know like what like I don't I believe

851
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: that you're a created man and woman and that's that.

852
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: And then Satan comes in and lies.

853
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: But I was like, so, what's your story. How'd you

854
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: know you were gay?

855
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: And she goes, as well, I was in college and

856
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 3: I used to be in I used to have boyfriends,

857
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 3: and then two guys told me to kiss two guys

858
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 3: told me to kiss another girl, and I kissed that

859
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 3: other girl. And she says that was the beginning that

860
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 3: led me to be in gay.

861
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: Is that interesting? Crazy? Yeah, I've never heard that one before.

862
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 3: So anyway, all that to say, I ended up next

863
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 3: you know, we're both crying together and she's just bawling

864
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 3: and she's talking to me, and then I'm like, I'm

865
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: gonna pray for you.

866
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: And I prayed for her right there on the.

867
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: Spot and just dude, a full on holy ghost encounter

868
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 3: happened for two hours.

869
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: And she goes, I'm.

870
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: Not even She goes, I wasn't even supposed to be

871
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: on this plane. She's like, I was supposed to be

872
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 3: on a plane earlier this morning. I go, I wasn't

873
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 3: even supposed to be on this plane either. And it

874
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 3: was pretty crazy because this was a very high up,

875
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 3: high up level in the gay community in Hollywood that

876
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: here I am praying for the wife, and she asked

877
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: she used to forgive her sins and give her to cry.

878
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: So it's just like that was one of those situations

879
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 3: when I I was like, God, just give you the

880
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 3: words and the boldness, because I'm like, this is not

881
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: gonna go the way I thought it would go. She

882
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: was telling me she didn't like God out of the

883
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: out of the gate, and I didn't know why. And

884
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 3: then she's married, she's gay, and the whole you know,

885
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: the whole thing. I'm like, but that just goes to

886
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: show you were talking about the beginning the show.

887
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: People are broken. People are broken inside.

888
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: And I always the way I look at people is

889
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 3: that if you see someone that's just strung out on drugs,

890
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: or someone that's you know, into the you know, LGBTQ,

891
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 3: or someone that's an alcoholic or whatever, you whatever, they're

892
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: whatever the external outward facing addictions and drugs, and we'll

893
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 3: just say sin, it's because there's a heart issue that's

894
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: going on. That's the side effects of what's happening in

895
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 3: their heart. So you can't you can't judge a book

896
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: by its cover. You could look at someone and however

897
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: they look to you appealed to. But you got to

898
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: get to the questions of like the heart, what so,

899
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: what's going on?

900
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: And they'll tell you, like that one girl her heart

901
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: her she just got her sister was killed.

902
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: You get to the heart issue and you find out

903
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: what why is that girl mad at God?

904
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: She lost the baby? Well, okay, well, how'd you have

905
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: a baby? You're a lesbian? Well I got into I's

906
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: got into a lesbian when I was young. That was

907
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: the doorway that opened.

908
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 3: And then Satan came in and put that in her

909
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 3: mind of her kissing that girl, and then whatever fantasy

910
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: and whatevery manipulation and doors that have been opened, the

911
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: influence led her to start dating other girls, and then

912
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 3: that the continual deception and all that just grew.

913
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: Right. So the heart issue is.

914
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 3: This happened when she was young, and you know God,

915
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: and my whole thing was, I was like, God has

916
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 3: a plan for you, like God loves you, and they

917
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: go He created you, you know, he created for specific

918
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: plan and purpose.

919
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: But you got to see my whole things.

920
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 3: You got to give your life to God confessor sins

921
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: and then let the Holy Spirit do the work. And

922
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 3: I sent her my book and we need to read

923
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: the Bible and like God just speak to you because

924
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 3: she's like, I'm gay.

925
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: You know I'm gay.

926
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, like God knows, God knows you. That's

927
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 3: one of your things that you're you're dealing with. But

928
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 3: don't let that hold you back. Keep seeking Him and

929
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: let Him speak to you about your life.

930
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 4: You know, like just talking about this is like these

931
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 4: experiences they could be life changing and it's great just

932
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 4: you know, even in my early walk with the Lord

933
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: in the first couple of years, I used to just

934
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 4: love just kind of being like out in public because

935
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: it just seemed like something would happen, like at a

936
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 4: coffee shop or different stuff. Like you just connect. You

937
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 4: start thinking, you're thinking differently, and there's opportunities like God

938
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: goes before you and everything, and you can you miss

939
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 4: out on the blessings, you know, step up by faith

940
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 4: and as myself and Ryan have talked about other instances,

941
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 4: that was amazing and talking about the big things of

942
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 4: the preaching and the teaching and singing lives come.

943
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: To the Lord.

944
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 4: But all of it starts to get to these points.

945
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 4: It all comes back to the beginning of what we

946
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 4: were talking about. It starts by trusting Lower with all

947
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 4: of your heart. And I'll tell you what. When we

948
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 4: talked about faith and fear, another thing that's connected to

949
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 4: fear is discouragement. Discouragement will destroy your life if you

950
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: let it. Discouragement and like men in life, you go

951
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 4: through hardships like that girl. Oftentimes parents get divorced, things

952
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 4: go crazy, Like people get like weld up in their

953
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 4: heart and they start getting depressed and they get discouraged

954
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: or this is what happens a lot. This is what

955
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 4: people don't realize. Sometimes people want this quick fix in

956
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 4: their life. You know, they look at you or they

957
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 4: look at me and like, oh, we know, you guys

958
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 4: used to do drugs and alcohol and stuff like you

959
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: guys go to rehab blah blah blah blah blah, you know,

960
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 4: or you know, I deal with this all the time.

961
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 4: But the reality of it is, it's like both of

962
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: us didn't go to rehab. I'm not saying that rehab

963
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 4: doesn't work for some people, but it really came down

964
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 4: to you really trusting God, like seriously, like getting real

965
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: with God, Like that's what will change the direction of

966
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 4: your life.

967
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: But guess what, it's not easy.

968
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: You know, I've had multiple friends that have come through here,

969
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 4: people that I've known from similar backgrounds. They start going

970
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 4: to church, they start walking with God, but then challenges come,

971
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 4: the scouragement comes, and they just fall so quick, they

972
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: give in so quick, and they miss out on the

973
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: blessings of God in their life. And Satan will do that,

974
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: and he will do that every time. He'll bring a

975
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 4: girl into your life that you shouldn't be, you know,

976
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 4: talking to you, or a guy in your life that

977
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 4: you shouldn't be engaged to, and you go. It veers

978
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 4: me objects, it bears you off track what God has

979
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 4: for you, and you miss out, and then you feel

980
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 4: miserable again, you try it again. It all starts back

981
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: from the beginning of trusting in the Lord and having

982
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 4: those moments in your life. And I look at my

983
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 4: life at various areas of my walk with the Lord,

984
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 4: and obviously those early times are stepping out by faith,

985
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: by being used by God. But I remember being used

986
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 4: and seeing my life changed and sober for my first time.

987
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 4: I'm like me and you are the same. We never

988
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 4: really counted how long we've been sober. It was more

989
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 4: like just us following the Lord. But in those first

990
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 4: couple of years, like, dude, radical change up in my life,

991
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: like radical, you know, I'm doing meth like four or

992
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: five days a week, you know, and partying and doing

993
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: everything that I did up to that point. I'm not

994
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 4: doing anything. I cut cold turkey. I'm like reading the

995
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 4: Bible like crazy. I'm going here. I'm like clear headed

996
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 4: and I feel and for like a year and a

997
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 4: half or two and at the time when I came

998
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 4: to the Lord, I was still on probation. I was

999
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: on probation right before I got busted by Second DUI.

1000
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 4: I was on strict probation for three years. And I

1001
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 4: had like a very strong probation officer like you mess up,

1002
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 4: You're going to jail. But I won him over because

1003
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 4: I was so consistent. And then but right in my

1004
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 4: last like five six months, I got changed. My case

1005
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 4: got thrown to another probation officer that was like a

1006
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: power tripper, like he like tried to punk me on

1007
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 4: the phone. He's like like a jerk on the phone.

1008
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: We made some changes to your program whatever, blah blah blah.

1009
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need you to come in. I'm like, oh,

1010
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 4: I can't go in. I got true you've got to

1011
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 4: be here. Are you going to go to jail? I

1012
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 4: was like, what whatever? And the old nature of myself

1013
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 4: rebelling against authority like school teachers and principles started coming

1014
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 4: into my mind.

1015
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: But I went and starts coming to mind. Do you

1016
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

1017
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 4: I was about the I was about to go off

1018
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 4: on that phone. I'm telling you I have my nature.

1019
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 4: And then I go to meet him in person and

1020
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 4: he was more of a jerk, and I was just like, dude,

1021
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 4: like I was seeing red in this in the probation

1022
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 4: office because you're saying you're gonna have to go to

1023
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: GUI classes like five days a week.

1024
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 1: In my mind, I'm like, I've.

1025
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 4: Been sober for two years. Like I don't want to

1026
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 4: go sit with a bunch of people. Oh yeah, I

1027
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 4: don't want to sit with a bunch of people talking

1028
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 4: about the war stories.

1029
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: And like I'm over.

1030
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 4: I'm not even thinking about drinking. Drinking and an alcohol

1031
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: that's what it's gonna do, and that's how it's going

1032
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 4: to be if you don't. And at this time, I

1033
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 4: was already on staff here. I was, you know, I'm

1034
00:48:58,760 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 4: very involved.

1035
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: I was teach new.

1036
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 4: Thirst, which is the drug alcohol cover. I'm like, I

1037
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 4: can't do this, and he's like, get you gonna do it.

1038
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm like I'm done. I'm like, I'm gonna go to court.

1039
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to court. I'm gonna try to get

1040
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 4: this change. And I went. I've been in court multiple

1041
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 4: times prior to this, and always into bed, but something

1042
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 4: gave me a strong boldness and clarity, like I got

1043
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 4: nothing to lose, and I feel blameless.

1044
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: Dude.

1045
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 4: I asked for her to see a judge. I went

1046
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: before that judge and I spoke to them. I'm like, hey,

1047
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm on, I have six more ins left in my

1048
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 4: my my probation. They're changing all of my restrictions. But

1049
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: I've come here because i want you to know my

1050
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: life's changed. I'm not the same person that I used

1051
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 4: to be. And I know that you probably hear that

1052
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: people have jail cell conversions and all that kind of stuff.

1053
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you straight out, like, I'm not the

1054
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 4: same men. I am sober, i am like thriving in

1055
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 4: every area of my life, and I'm asking you that

1056
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 4: I can keep to the same program because I.

1057
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: Don't want to. I want to.

1058
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 4: I don't want to miss Church. I don't want to

1059
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 4: miss what God's doing in my life. I don't know

1060
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen. I'm what the results going to be.

1061
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 4: And I said a little bit more than that, and

1062
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 4: they asked a couple of questions. It gave me a

1063
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 4: time to like give my testimony in front of the

1064
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 4: whole courtroom of people waiting.

1065
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

1066
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 4: And the judge said, how much is left on your

1067
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 4: fees for the court And I think it was like

1068
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 4: eighteen hundred dollars or something, and I still had another

1069
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 4: six eight months and he listened everything I said. He's like,

1070
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,479
Speaker 4: if you paid one hundred and fifty dollars a day,

1071
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 4: can you do that? I'm like, yeah, if you pay

1072
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty dollars, I'll close out your case.

1073
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 4: You'll be off probation, and it will be done to

1074
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 4: no way. God's phenomenal. I was like, dude, I was

1075
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 4: like broken. I was like, yes, WHOA, I signed it,

1076
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 4: paid it, I walked away from probation and I never

1077
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 4: had to deal with that guy again. Oh where I

1078
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,479
Speaker 4: could have acted a full r and like you know, like.

00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 3: Well, dude, that's that's that whole Like Israelites at the

1080
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 3: at the Red Sea moment.

1081
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, what in the heck is going on

1082
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: right now?

1083
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: God, I thought you were doing a work in my life,

1084
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: and now all of a sudden, I'm stuck at this moment.

1085
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 3: And then by faith, you went to court as Moses,

1086
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 3: you know, raised the staff boom the Red Sea.

1087
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: Open because my God delivered them.

1088
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 4: I can't e stress enough, like my flesh wanted to

1089
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 4: take over because I've been there before. I cussed out

1090
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 4: my principal when I was in school, got kicked out

1091
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 4: of school in my early one of my first times,

1092
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 4: I got busted when I was eighteen. I remember my

1093
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 4: parents had to go sit there and I got busted.

1094
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 4: I was with you when I was with you and

1095
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 4: John Barry when we got busted at Funk's house. But

1096
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 4: I got busted for that because I was driving out

1097
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 4: a license, ied the police officer, all this stuff on

1098
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 4: my record. I had to go before him and I

1099
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 4: acted like a little punk. Long hair said something and

1100
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 4: the judge like thinking, hated me, and I was like

1101
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 4: talking trash. Bailiff got up in court. My parents are like, dude,

1102
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 4: they're going to arrest them. Like so I had had

1103
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: these moments in court or acted like a punk because

1104
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 4: kind of rebel against authority. But this change in my life. Yeah, yeah,

1105
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 4: those are one of those moments. And I say it

1106
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 4: came all the way to discourage men. I remember those days, like, dude,

1107
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 4: they're setting me up in failure, like I'm not going

1108
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 4: to go down this pathway like getting angry, and then boom,

1109
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 4: like God moved and I never had to look back again.

1110
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 4: I've never been in a courtroom since.

1111
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I didn't know.

1112
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that part of the story. That's that's

1113
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 3: a miracle. That is straight up a miracle. And guess what,

1114
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 3: coming back to what you said, people will go after God.

1115
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 3: God's doing stuff and then they fail in those moments.

1116
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 3: And that's just one of those tests. Because what God's

1117
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 3: trying to do is he's trying to grow you in

1118
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 3: your faith to trust in him, and he will go

1119
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 3: before you. I mean, if he changed the heart of

1120
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 3: for the Pharaoh, and he's he's dotting all these miracles

1121
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 3: to the Bible.

1122
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

1123
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 3: He's still doing the same things now as you step

1124
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 3: out by faith and you walk with him. But it

1125
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 3: all goes back to that one verse, do not lean

1126
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: on your own understanding.

1127
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: How does it go? It goes? Uh, let me pull

1128
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: it up really quick, let me find it.

1129
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 4: It's that proverbs trusting the Lord with the door, Ye

1130
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 4: lean out on your understanding in all of your ways.

1131
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 4: Acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path.

1132
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 3: He will direct your paths, And there's many paths that

1133
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 3: he leads us on. So don't think, don't get discouraged

1134
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 3: that you might be on a path right now and

1135
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 3: you're like, this path doesn't even make sense.

1136
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: It's the paths. One path leads to another path.

1137
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 3: I just got a picture thinking about like when you

1138
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 3: go like mountain biking up in the mountains, like up

1139
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 3: here in the foothills. When you go mountain biking, you're

1140
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 3: going from one path to another, right, and one path

1141
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 3: leads to another to the very top of the mountain,

1142
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 3: and then you could come down the other you know,

1143
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 3: different paths on the way back down. But it's it's paths.

1144
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 3: He will show you what paths to take to these

1145
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 3: mountaintop experiences that he wants to take you on. And

1146
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna take you on the paths down to the

1147
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: bottom to the to the valleys and then back up.

1148
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: And that is the journey. That is the journey that

1149
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: we want to live. Is the the it's the it's

1150
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: the journey. It's not boring or modane.

1151
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 3: And if you're having a boring, madane Christian life, you

1152
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 3: need to change it up.

1153
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: You need to switch it all up now. And you

1154
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: need to.

1155
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 3: Open the Bible and you need to say, God, speak

1156
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 3: to me, I believe what you said. Now help me

1157
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 3: to live this out like I believe it, and you

1158
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 3: will see amazing things. And just trust, trust. Don't depend

1159
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 3: on your own understanding. When you went to that court,

1160
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 3: your own understanding says you are jacked. You your life

1161
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 3: is over for the next six months, everything is upside down.

1162
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 3: Don't depend on that. Depend on the Lord and trust

1163
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 3: in with all your heart. He will show you what

1164
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 3: p has to take and that path was like to

1165
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 3: court to get dismissed, and he sets you free from that.

1166
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1167
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 4: Just I know we're about to wrap up here in

1168
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 4: a minute. But another key scripture that many people know

1169
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 4: is John ten ten. The thief has come to seek

1170
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 4: to kill, destroyan, but Jesus has come to give you life.

1171
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 4: And that more abundantly more of a life than you

1172
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 4: can ever imagine, not just regular life. And that's what

1173
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 4: you're talking about, the faith life, this faith walk. You're

1174
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 4: actually experienced the essence of life for the reason why

1175
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 4: you were created. And that's what you want to do,

1176
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 4: because when you find that sweet spot in your life,

1177
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 4: you get you find peace, you fee you find why

1178
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 4: God created you that sweet spot.

1179
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: You're on a skateboard and you got you doing all

1180
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: you do a manual.

1181
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 3: You gotta land right in the sweet spot with your tail,

1182
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 3: your foot on the tail, and your your front on

1183
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 3: the in the middle of the board and you get

1184
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 3: in this little perfect spot with the balance so you

1185
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: can manual on your back wheels.

1186
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: But when you're not in that sweet spot.

1187
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 3: You're off and you can eat it and you're just

1188
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 3: it's not you're all like you look all goofy because

1189
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 3: it's not the right balance. But sometimes you can just

1190
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: all you up something and just land perfectly in that

1191
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 3: sweet spot and you just gain perfect.

1192
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: In that position to go.

1193
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 3: And that's the way it is what christian With Christianity,

1194
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 3: you gotta get in that sweet spot and then it's amazing.

1195
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: But if not, then it's gonna be a rough, bumpy

1196
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 3: ride and you can eat it.

1197
