37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,720

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: Because you don't come int the story later on, But

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: let's get down to you first. Lindsay, how did how

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: do you even grow up? And how this whole in

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: and out burger thing birth?

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Well, so in and out started in nineteen forty eight

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: by my grandparents, and my grandfather died in the late

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: seventies and my uncle became the president when he was

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty four, and then my dad ended up. You know,

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: they were working together. He was a vice president, but

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: he started a family aka my mom and myself, and

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: he chose the family over the business, and we moved

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: to northern California, and probably the best thing he could

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: have done for me, and just having kind of a

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: normal childhood up there. You know, people didn't really know.

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: There weren't any internnounce up there, so it was completely different.

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that would be nice.

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it was in the Mouth Mountains on a ranch,

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: so it was just a really really cool way to

57
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: grow up and a lot of quality time with my

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: mom and dad up there, and great memories. So he

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: was kind of a part from the company and his brother,

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: my uncle and I were very very very close and

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: h Yeah, and so my dad and him fought, you know,

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: here and there, and it was ever different things. And

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: then unfortunately my father my uncle died in a plane

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: crash and my dad and him hadn't completely squashed their stuff,

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: so it crushed my dad got it.

66
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: And he.

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Had to start running the company, and we came down

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: here and it was probably the worst school year of

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: my life. Now I'm faced with people, you know, knowing

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: my family tied in and out and all of that,

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and it was just was treated differently and you know,

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: it sucked. So my dad saw that and was like,

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'll just commute. Let's next year, let's go

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: back up there, We'll do the school thing there and

75
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: I'll go back in front. And so he did that,

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: and you know, in doing that, in processing losing his

77
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: brother now running the company, he ended up having to

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: have another surgery, and then the painkillers led to back

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: to his addiction.

80
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: Okay, so, first of all, he when he was growing up,

81
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: he was into like racing cars and dirt bikes, and

82
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 4: he was just kind of like an outdoor having a

83
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: good time kind of guy.

84
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: But all the surgeries is the common story.

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: Getting introduced to the pain pills causes addiction.

86
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, the surgeries. He broke his back

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: when he was pretty young, he paralyzed, partially paralyzed his

88
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: arm and shoulder, had all this nerve of damage to

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: his shoulder from a motorcycle accident. And he had messed

90
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: around with, you know, some drugs when he was younger

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and really kind of went towards pain killers. And so

92
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of childhood pain. He

93
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: was abused by my grandfather, both my uncle and humor.

94
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: So and then my dad. Being the older brother, you know,

95
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: he got it kind of the worst, and he was

96
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: expected to set the good example, and so when he

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: didn't or did something, you know, it was like all

98
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: his faults.

99
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: So there's a series of stuff that's kind of building

100
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 4: up in his life. And when you guys were growing up,

101
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: you guys had a good relationship, you and your dad,

102
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: because every as we hung out a lot, I always

103
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: hear all these awesome stories of you and your dad.

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: He was around for you.

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my dad. I think because of his childhood,

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: he learned a lot of what would have been important

107
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: as a kid to have in a far right right

108
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: and so he was, you know, sober. He was the

109
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: best dad in the world. And you know, the quality

110
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: time we had from watching cartoons or writing around on

111
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: quads or you know, I had a huge imagination and

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: he was always game to play along, and so, you know,

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: lots of special memories and but yeah, I mean, ultimately

114
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: the pain from his childhood and he did have an

115
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: actual condition where and I have it too, where we

116
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: metabolize drugs really quickly, so like if I have a

117
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: prescription from a surgery, I just burned through it really quickly,

118
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: so numbing my mouth. And so he had that as well,

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: and my mom didn't really believe it, and then when

120
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: it happened to me, she just cried because she's like, wow,

121
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: he really he was telling the truth, so, which is

122
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: what led to he needed to take more and more

123
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: and more.

124
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: Right So, right, So when your dad ended up passing away,

125
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: how did that?

126
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: How'd you cope with that?

127
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: Because he's he's running in and out at this time,

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: You're living in norcoo away because you don't want anyone

129
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: to really know your name and just kind of just

130
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: be a kid and just grow up.

131
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the loss had already started because they got

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: divorced when I was twelve, and so he was six

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: hundred miles away. So I was already dealing with the

134
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: daddy issue of missing missing him and not having him

135
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: in my life because he was not sober a lot

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: of the years. From the time they got divorced till

137
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: the time he died, it was kind of off and on.

138
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: And it's hard looking back because I know my mom

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: was trying to protect me, but I look back and

140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, some of those windows he was supposedly sober,

141
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't get to see him, you know, so you.

142
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: Would say it's very important for a father to be

143
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: around for their for their daughters.

144
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I think. I think the father relationship

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: and a home is it is so crucial to the

146
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: rest of your life. It it affects a lot. It

147
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: affects you as a person, It affects every relationship, even

148
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: it affects how you perceive God towards yourself. I believe

149
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: if you have a loving father that you feel accepted by,

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: you likely feel that with God. If you feel like

151
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: you were never good enough, or feel like you know

152
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: less than or compared to another sibling, then I think

153
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: naturally we can we can feel that way with God.

154
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: That's that's really gnarly when you think about that, because

155
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: if you do, if you do that to your kids

156
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: and they're like, well, my father, they can't relate my

157
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: father was bad, So why would why should I trust

158
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 4: this other father God?

159
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: That's that's heavy. Well would you do? So?

160
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: Were you a Christian growing up or Yeah? I was

161
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: a believer and my walk kind of went up and down.

162
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: And you know, the thing that probably pulled me away

163
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: from God was the typical stuff, you know, being in

164
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: high school and you know, whether it was the music

165
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: or boys, you know, the normal stuff, the normal stuff,

166
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: and those were you know, the relationship for me was

167
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: trying to fill the void of missing my dad.

168
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: You know.

169
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: So I was in like long term relationships starting at

170
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: like thirteen.

171
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, that that totally makes sense.

172
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 4: So I know that you decided to get married to

173
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 4: one of your boyfriends pretty early on.

174
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: How did that go disastrous? So why'd you marry him? So? Sorry?

175
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: Because we were like seventeen years old.

176
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: I was seventeen when we got engaged. Yeah, it was

177
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: fourteen when we met, Okay, and yeah, we you know,

178
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I knew God totally let me know that this wasn't right,

179
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: and I was just kind of like I had that yeah,

180
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: ye yeah, I'll deal with it later.

181
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 4: I call that running stop sites. The Holy gives you

183
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 4: a stop sign and you run it.

184
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I did that for sure, And yeah, I mean

185
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: it was you know, we were together from time I

186
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: was fourteen, got married at eighteen. Two years later. The

187
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: marriage was done lots of there were plenty of red

188
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: flags before.

189
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

190
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: So then when you go through that as being divorced,

191
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 4: you feel like you're just feel like a failure pretty much,

192
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

193
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: You're just like, well, what happened?

194
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: I had this chance because you have all these high

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: hopes like I'm gonna get married, I'm gonna have kids,

196
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: this is it, and then it all just comes crumbling

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: down and you're just lonely. I'm just speaking from my experience,

198
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: lonely and in pain and depressed.

199
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

200
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: I was already heavily involved with the company at that time.

201
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: At that time, kay, So you have the combination of

202
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, me dealing with that. I had my first

203
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: lawyer when I was seventeen, and I think I wrote

204
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: my first will when I was in my early twenties,

205
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: and so you know, having that piece and then being like,

206
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, I have two older sisters and I was divorced,

207
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, so young, so I felt like the black

208
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: sheep of the family, you know. And I think that

209
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: I just kind of went off the rails a little

210
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: bit after that because I'm like, well, I'm.

211
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: You do the pain, yeah, you think in the pain?

212
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

213
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: So I never partied and all that in high school.

215
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: So you know, when I got divorced that first time,

216
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: I that was my time to do that and it

217
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: did not go well.

218
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: So after that, so how did that work continuing?

219
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: Were you were you looking for another guy to fill

220
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: the void or were you like, I'm going to be single.

221
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Well, I overlapped that relationship because one I knew, I

222
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: knew that marriage was over. There's a lot of heartbreak

223
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: he had. You know, when I say mental illness, I

224
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: believe that there's a spiritual warfare component to that. I

225
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: think it probably starts with those things and then rewires

226
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: your brain. But yeah, there was a he had pornography addiction,

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: and there was some dreams and stuff he shared about

228
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: people in our life. Some of that were not some

229
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: of the were miners and stuff. And so that that

230
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: was where I broke and I was immediately looking for now.

231
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean I was almost going to compare myself to

232
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: a parasite because I was so codependent back then. I needed, like, ohsts,

233
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, I needed something else to fill that void.

234
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: And so there was someone else in my life that

235
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: was a friend that I danced with, and then you

236
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: know that was that became marriage number two.

237
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 3: And you see this, you hear this.

238
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: I talked to a lot of people, obviously and come

239
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: across these stories where people come out of one relationship.

240
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 4: They don't allow God to develop them, to shape them,

241
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: to mold them, to break them, you know, Jeremiah the

242
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: potter on the wheel, and show them who they are

243
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: in Christ, because that's where you feel secure and you

244
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: know where you stand in life. But what happens is

245
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: they don't go through that process. They're wounded, and then

246
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 4: they just walk into another relationship yep, and another one

247
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: and another one, and they take their problems from the

248
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: first one into the next marriage.

249
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: And who knows where he's coming the next guy's coming from.

250
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: So it's just it's chaos and that's not the way

251
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: God designed it. But we're all humans and we do

252
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: human stupid things.

253
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: Yes, So how that marriage go, Well, it lasted a

254
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: little longer.

255
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

256
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I had two children out of that one, my twins,

257
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: and they're awesome. Yeah they're sixteen now. Gosh crazy, I know. Yeah, yeah,

258
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, if I dive into all of what went wrong,

259
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: it'll take up the rest of our time that I'll

260
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: just I'll just summarize and say, you know, it wasn't

261
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: God's design for us to be together. I was I

262
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: checked a box. As soon as he got saved, I'm like, Okay,

263
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: he I can marry him. So rather than going God,

264
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: is this person really right for me? Are we compatible

265
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: in all these ways for the rest of our life?

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: Is?

267
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: You know?

268
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: Are we do? We have the same vision for our lives.

269
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: And so the one thing we did focus on is he,

270
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to focus on God and ministry. However

271
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that. I didn't notice till later that

272
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: once he felt comfortable in that role, he didn't need

273
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: me as much because he really liked, you know, the

274
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: attention I think he got as a.

275
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: He he made ministry his his first focus.

276
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it wasn't even it wasn't even that he

277
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: was getting personal. It was more like him receiving the

278
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: praise of Wow, such a good message or this that,

279
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: and and I was the one trying to chase after

280
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: the people slipping away. And yeah, I mean the big

281
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: thing was my love tank was completely empty. We had

282
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, date nights. I was getting you know, shoved

283
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: off to other people. Don't you want to hang out

284
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: with this person? Don't you want to like? So I

285
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: was pretty much starving. There was no emotional connection. There

286
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: was you know, so, you know, I think being in ministry.

287
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: And this is where for me, this was the biggest,

288
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that probably destroyed me that I mean

289
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: just the most. It was because now I'm in ministry,

290
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm a believer, and then I started off with an

291
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: emotional affair which to physical and then you know, and then.

292
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 4: Well we know that Satan has come to steal, killing, destroy,

293
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: and he makes his way in very very suddenly, and

294
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: the spiritual warfare that we're talking about, he's he's manipulating

295
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: and working his way and deceiver. He's a deceiver and

296
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: he starts deceiving. And when you're when you're in this place,

297
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: you know, like you said, you're not connecting to your

298
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: to your husband. He's doing his thing. There's a lot

299
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 4: of space for the enemy to come in. There's a

300
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: lot of space where he can come in and cause trouble.

301
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: And that's basically what happens. It's it's and it's very

302
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: That's why it's very important even with ministry for husbands

303
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 4: and wives to be united, because that's the one thing

304
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: you hear it time after time. Yeah, a pastor dates

305
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: some girl in the church, or the wife takes off.

306
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's both ways.

307
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, and I think it's and that's from

308
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: the outside they go, oh, well, they're in ministry. But

309
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, I feel like God draws me

310
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: to people that are either you know, in a relationship

311
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: or whether it's their marriage, whatever it is. I feel

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: like so called to counsel people in relationships because of

313
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: so much of the stuff that I've gone through. But

314
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: just because they're a believer doesn't mean that they're for you.

315
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: And you know, there there really is something to personalities

316
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: and people, you know, being able to understand and communicate

317
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: with each other. And yeah, so it's very true.

318
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm with it.

319
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 4: So so that didn't work out as well, and so

320
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 4: would you do from that point?

321
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was about eight years relationship and.

322
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: Then I mean, did you get to a place where

323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: you're just like, just you know, God, what is going on?

324
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: How come I can't get the right where's the where's

325
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 4: the guy that you designed for me?

326
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

327
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean I think I was feeling that in both

328
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: of those relationships, you know, just there was still such

329
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: a lack, you know, and even though I loved God

330
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: and was in ministry for parts of both of those relationships,

331
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: you know, it was a combination of one not being

332
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: healed and whole as a person entering the relationship, and

333
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: two not being with someone that is like minded and

334
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: able to you know, you're the marriage takes work, and

335
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: love is action based. It's things you do. They're sacrificing

336
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: and all that. And so I think a lot of

337
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: people think it's just a feeling and once the feeling's gone,

338
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: oh you know, it's over. Yeah, but it's definitely something

339
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: you build. But yeah, I was, you know, if I

340
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: was the black sheep of the family and feeling like

341
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: a failure after the first of all this one, I

342
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: felt even worse because now I was in ministry and

343
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: fell that far.

344
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, and that's what the place where the enemy

345
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: comes in, and that's where he starts doing the real

346
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: work on your mind, how do you overcome what?

347
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: What were the well before I did? I entered another

348
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: relationship right in the middle of all of that, and

349
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: it was terrible. And I think that, you know, without

350
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: diving into all that, because I want to get to

351
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: the good good part. You know, I finally being on

352
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: both sides of the coin, being being the cheater, being

353
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: cheated on, being neglected, being in a codependent relationship kind

354
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: of done a lot of it. And you know, coming

355
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: out of the third marriage, this when we became friends.

356
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think that that was the time where

357
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: God really got my attention and I let's do this, Yes,

358
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: And in that marriage I was so alone and so

359
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: just you know, crying out, like I want to be

360
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: used for you. Like my life isn't about you know,

361
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: in and out, it isn't about being married. It isn't

362
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: it's about serving you and glorifying you. And so I

363
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: just wanted to be used by God. And so that's when, Yeah,

364
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: he gave me the vision for an army of love

365
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: and really started healing alone. And it was the first

366
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: time of my life that I've been alone, not in

367
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: a relationship.

368
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 4: So as I'm listening to this story, and this is

369
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 4: where we're going to get into all the really really

370
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: good stuff is here.

371
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: You are You're you're growing up in this, you know.

372
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: With issues with with your father because he's he's he's

373
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: racing and he's very active, and he's struggling with drugs

374
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: and or prescription drugs. He gets you know, he ods

375
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 4: fro from that and you lose him. And at that place,

376
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: You're in a broken place, which is understandable, but you're

377
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 4: not going to the Father and saying God, like I

378
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: need you to restore me.

379
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: I am broken instead, just like a lot of people.

380
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: And I understand is like they try to fill that

381
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 4: stuff with with you know, your job or relationships, or

382
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 4: people could drink or use drugs just to numb the

383
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: pain or whatever.

384
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: But it wasn't until you finally surrendered.

385
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: And I love God's grace, you know, because you could think, man,

386
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: there's no way I could bounce back from this. But

387
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: God's grace is so good and he loves you, and

388
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 4: he was chasing you down the whole time, waiting for

389
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 4: you to finally surrender to that point. And then God

390
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 4: radically started transforming your life and putting people in your

391
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: life and giving you vision for what you had implanted

392
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: you long from a long time ago, but it was

393
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: suppressed because you just you weren't fully sold out for

394
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: allowing Him to work through you with the Holy Spirit.

395
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: So then you met Sean during this time.

396
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what's the difference now with you and Sean,

397
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: now that you've actually found the right guy?

398
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I felt like I felt like I was

399
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: a whole person when I met Sean, and you know,

400
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: I had seen a few people before him, and I

401
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: just was like, no, I am now because I fall

402
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: quickly and you know, I'm all, I'm all or nothing.

403
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: And so I just I realized I'm like, Okay, no more,

404
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: no more fixer uppers, Like, oh, it's got to be

405
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: this has got to be someone that's like turn me

406
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: is my expression. And so you know, he our first conversation,

407
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: we talked about talked about God, We talked about addiction,

408
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: him losing a brother, having a brother still dealing with addiction,

409
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: and then my dad and he was in the military,

410
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: so talked to them, how is your experience and so

411
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: you know, there was just a lot of really big topics.

412
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: We talked about politics in the first conversation because I'm like,

413
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: I don't want fluff, I don't want bull crap, Like

414
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: I want to deal with what the core of who

415
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: he is and who I am, and if we're compatible

416
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: or there's a possibility there.

417
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 3: That's what's up.

418
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: So what about Sean bringing you in? So you met her,

419
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: what were you looking for? So here you are coming

420
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: out of the military freshly.

421
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 6: Right, yep, Yeah, I was just getting out of the military.

422
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 6: My brother was on the streets on heroin, and so

423
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 6: I probably would have stayed in the military. I I

424
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 6: liked it, Yeah, I like the structure, like the discipline,

425
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 6: just the development. But anyway, I got out trying to

426
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 6: seek my brother. And so in that time, you know,

427
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 6: just getting back home, starting to hang out with the

428
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 6: same people, just the same routine of the stuff that

429
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 6: I left before the military, the drugs, girls, whatever it was.

430
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 6: That just I saw that stuff creeping back into my life,

431
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 6: and you know, I just cried out to God.

432
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 7: Man.

433
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: I prayed that he would just show me why he

434
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: created me, why you know, why he put me here,

435
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 6: and who I was. I you know, I didn't really

436
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 6: know who I was. I had watched the Passion of

437
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 6: Christ I think, you know, we've shared this story numerous times,

438
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 6: but just just watching that and what they they did

439
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 6: to Jesus destroyed me and I just you know, started

440
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 6: crying watching that.

441
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 7: Just I felt like I understood that part of it.

442
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 6: And then, uh, yeah, in that time, I just prayed

443
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 6: that God would just show me who I was and

444
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 6: and make me a provider for a family. And so

445
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: I was looking I isn't necessarily looking for relationship. At

446
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 6: the time I was going to school, I kind of

447
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 6: removed myself. I call it fasting from everybody and everything

448
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 6: in life. I just wanted to isolate myself and focus

449
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 6: on school.

450
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 7: And I didn't want any anything.

451
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 6: Distractions, basically any distractions. Yeah, but I mean, deep down

452
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 6: I did want a family, you know. I wanted to

453
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 6: be a husband, a father, and so I prayed for

454
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 6: those things. And about a week later, God put Lindsay

455
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 6: in my life. And I'm still fixer up or I'll

456
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 6: tell you that, right, we all are.

457
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

458
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: But you know what, Sean, I know you, and we've

459
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: arobably spent some time together, and I just watched, you know,

460
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: watch both of you guys from from that point when

461
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: I met you, that last relationship, and just how you

462
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 4: were going after God and you were staying set apart

463
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: in waiting.

464
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: And then as we met you on that date, that one.

465
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: Time in Pasadena, just getting to know you and just

466
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 4: and see where your heart's at, like you have a

467
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: heart of people, you know, And I've heard other interviews

468
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600

Speaker 3: Domination in and out burger. Let's go.

572
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: All right, guys, So before the break, we were talking

573
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: about Lindsay just how you grew up. You know, you

574
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 4: had your father, he was he was running and out.

575
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: He was struggling with addiction because of all the surgeries,

576
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 4: which is common for a lot of the listeners that

577
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 4: get caught up, and he unfortunately passed away.

578
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: From that. From that point, you tried to fill your

579
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: life with.

580
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: You know, relationships to fill that empty void, which just

581
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 4: so common with guys or girls because you don't people,

582
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 4: you don't want to be lonely. You're her, and you

583
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 4: think that a person can help you fix that brokenness inside.

584
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: But it's only through a relationship with God.

585
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: Which we know, and through a series of divorces which

586
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 4: I could relate and many people can relate. These days

587
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: that you've God finally brought you the right guy when

588
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: you surrender, and that's our good friend Sean over here

589
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: hanging out and then Sewn, you guys got together, you

590
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: got married, and you guys ended up starting the slaved

591
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: and Nothing. But prior to that, your grandparents started the

592
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: In and Out Foundation. Tell us a little bit about that,

593
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: and I want to go through all your nonprofits.

594
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, my uncle showed up my mom and dad's doorstep

595
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: in the eighties and had been crying and just like

596
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: it finally clicked and he was like, guy, my dad's

597
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: name is Guy. He said, Guy, we were abused. And

598
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: my Dad's like, no, yeah, really, you just you just

599
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: figure this out, you know, because my dad's like he's

600
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: super honest, real, you know, straightforward kind of guy. My

601
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: uncle was this fun, happy, go lucky, you know, like

602
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of denial, you know. My dad's

603
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: like processing it hurting, you know, struggled with the pain,

604
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: and my uncle was like distracting himself. So he finally

605
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: realized and came to terms with it, and so my

606
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: mom was there for that, and then of course he

607
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: reached out to his mom and was like, I want

608
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: to do something, and so that's when they started. It

609
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: was called the Children's Foundation back then, and so now

610
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: it's called the Intern out Burger Foundation. But it's there

611
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,000

00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 3: What a slave did nothing mean? Any of you guys? Yeah,

625
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: well sorry, skip to the.

626
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 6: Yep yep, yeah, we uh we we named it Slave

627
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 6: too Nothing just because of obviously the you know, there's

628
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 6: a there's slavery out there today in so many different ways.

629
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: And you know, on one side, we fight human trafficking,

630
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 6: and we felt like nobody was doing anything at the time.

631
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 6: It's kind of a you know, taboo type of thing

632
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 6: to talk about, and we just really felt God pushing

633
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 6: us to bring awareness to people and do what we

634
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 6: can with you know what we're called a steward with

635
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 6: to fight back. And and then obviously the other side

636
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 6: of that foundation is fighting substance abuse, which both of

637
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 6: us have had very personal experiences with and most of

638
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 6: us here and and you're a slave to that.

639
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, to the drugs.

640
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: And now, so with with that, what is exactly? So

641
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 4: tell me a little bit more about the Slave and Nothing.

642
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: What do you guys do you guys are because you

643
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: just did a charity recently down at the Orange County

644
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: are they called the Bunkers or the Hanger, the Hangar

645
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: in Orange County and it was packed and you guys,

646
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 4: you guys raised a lot of money that particular night

647
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 4: to help fund fund the nonprofit What how many nonprofits

648
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: are you guys funding or involved with?

649
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: What the Slave Do Nothing?

650
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 6: So last year we supported just over one hundred organizations

651
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 6: with over two million dollars.

652
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 3: Amazing, So you go, it goes a long way.

653
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 6: We do a lot with our team. I just cherish

654
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 6: the people in our organization and their effort. They're just

655
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 6: some of the most diligent people.

656
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 7: That I've ever met.

657
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 6: And you know, they do site visits, they go there personally,

658
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 6: We we vet their finances. We do a lot of

659
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 6: work to make sure that the organizations that we're supporting

660
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 6: are going to take the money that we're donating as

661
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 6: far as possible.

662
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: That's good.

663
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 4: It's not just like you were just releasing cash and

664
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 4: you've got to tighten on everything.

665
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: I think it just kind of points to to in

666
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: and out. In and Out has very high standards and

667
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: it's known for quality and all that. So we really

668
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: you see that even in these foundations where we're looking

669
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: for the best, the best organizations that are really making

670
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: a difference, and are you know, utilizing all of the

671
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: funds to put it in the right places.

672
00:36:58,840 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.

673
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 4: Okay, Now you guys have this other awesome thing that

674
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 4: you guys started.

675
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 3: When did you start the Army of Love? How long

676
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: ago was that?

677
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: Well, it became. It's interesting because I filed even before

678
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: I met him, but it came through and became an

679
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: actual five o't one c three officially a week after

680
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: we got married.

681
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: So and then started, that's awesome.

682
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: So tell us about this Army of Love? What's the

683
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 4: goal and what do you guys deal with it?

684
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: You're sure, okay? So the vision was just that you know,

685
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: there would be an online source where people can come

686
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: and whether they want to be discipled and be used

687
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: by God with their gifts or if they are just

688
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: seeking help, you know, whether they're depressed or no matter

689
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: what his relationships, whatever it is. And the discipleship part

690
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: was really important because I feel like, you know, there's

691
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: a lot of churches out there, but sometimes it feels

692
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: like people that are truly discipled and wanting to disciple

693
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: others isn't happening in all the churches, and or they

694
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: have their hands full or whatever it is, you know,

695
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: And I thought Army of Love would be a force,

696
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, to be there to support churches, to be

697
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: able to help them build discipleship programs or be another

698
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: source for them. And then it's really just uniting and

699
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: equipping the Body of Christ for the work of ministry.

700
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: And it all goes this ties to the heart of

701
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: even slave to nothing, of setting the captives free. We

702
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: want to see people healed and transformed. And we want,

703
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, because I was a believer growing up. You know,

704
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: he was a believer, but we still had all these

705
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: issues and they're coming out in our life, whether it

706
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: be the wrong relationships or you know, alcohol, whatever it is.

707
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: And so.

708
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: Being able to reach people even in the church and

709
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: see them get set free and be a better tool

710
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: for God to use. And yeah, I mean I just

711
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: had this vision that people would be you know, discipled

712
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: and raised up and then be ready to be deployed

713
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: and sent out to anyone that needs help. And we

714
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: have a chat function that's going to be happening pretty

715
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: soon on our Army of Love site, so people can

716
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: just that's awesome.

717
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: Let's talk more about discipleship, because that's what you guys

718
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 3: like to do. So it's true.

719
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 4: So you have the Army of you have the slave

720
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 4: to Nothing. So this is a foundation that gets people

721
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 4: out of being a slave to addiction or even slavery,

722
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 4: real slavery. And but once you get out as us

723
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 4: as believers, we know that when you when you're messing

724
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: with drugs or alcohol or pornography or any of these

725
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: things that your slave to your body appetites. You need

726
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: to get discipled because you need the power of God.

727
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 4: And this discipleship right, it's it's training to show you

728
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 4: how to walk out your faith and to tell you know, Sean,

729
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: if you want, you could chime in on you know,

730
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 4: this discipleship thing.

731
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: What's the important?

732
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 4: Why is it so important that people are going to

733
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 4: get discipled and you know the things that army love

734
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: resources will give them.

735
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 6: Well, I mean just being equipped and ready to fight

736
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 6: the spiritual warfare in our lives.

737
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 7: You know, that's never ceasing.

738
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 6: It's always there, and it at times is amplified. And sometimes,

739
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 6: you know, things might subside for a little bit and

740
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 6: we feel like we're doing okay, but Satan's always around

741
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 6: the corner waiting, waiting for us and planning his next

742
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 6: attack on us. And and it's so that's why it's

743
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 6: so important, you know, to continually be discipled, not just

744
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 6: be discipled one time or it's it's a lifelong thing.

745
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like uh, oh I took the course

746
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: I went, I went today. It's like it's like somebody

747
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 4: gives their life to God. They go to church on

748
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 4: Monday on Sunday and they don't worry the.

749
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: Like, Okay, I'm a Christian.

750
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah No, it's like you have to know what you believe.

751
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 4: And as you read the Bible, it's you know, it's

752
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: like in James this talks about it's a mirror. You

753
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 4: look at it, you see what your life, what's wrong

754
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: with your life, and then it gives you instructions on

755
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 4: how to fix it. But the discipleship is the brethren,

756
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 4: the team, people that come alongside. Like the Bible says,

757
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: iron iron sharpens iron, you're sharpening, you're training, you're walking alongside.

758
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: When they fall, you pick them up, you know, like

759
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 4: when you're in war, Like a brother.

760
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 3: Gets wounded, you pick them up and you're gonna keep.

761
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 4: Carrying him to the medic tent. And the medic tent

762
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 4: is the discipleship. It's the God, it's the Church, it's

763
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 4: the it's the word of God.

764
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 6: Basically, Yeah, you know, the Bible has everything we need

765
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 6: to show us who we are and tell us who

766
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 6: we are. Like you said, James, I believe that's James

767
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 6: looking in the mirror. You know, we forget what we

768
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 6: look like. The second we turn away. Yeah, and so

769
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 6: when we turn away from the Word of God, that's

770
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 6: what happens to us. And unfortunately, you know, I'm sure

771
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 6: people that might go to church one day a week

772
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 6: definitely isn't enough to have a relationship with the Lord,

773
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 6: and there's probably a lot of chaos in their life.

774
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 6: And discipleship is absolutely the way to go, digging in

775
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 6: and and continuing to grow and learn, you know, preceding that,

776
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 6: I think you know for me too, and with our

777
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 6: ministry army of love. Kind of going off off the

778
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 6: topic tiny bit here, you know, there's there's a few

779
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 6: words that I that I had in my heart today.

780
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 6: Gratitude is one, intentionality is another, and selflessness. God gives

781
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 6: us the commandment to love Him and others as the

782
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 6: first and foremost out of everything in the Bible, and

783
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 6: so those are the you know, the two greatest commandments

784
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 6: that basically fulfill everything. And so as we become disciple

785
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 6: and we learn who our identity is in Christ, we

786
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 6: grow and learn toward fulfilling those commandments, which is why

787
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 6: discipleship is is so important. But for me, it wasn't

788
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 6: until I experienced God's love for me and continually going forward.

789
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 6: I always try to hold on to recognizing what God

790
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 6: has done in my life so that I'm continually grateful

791
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: for the people in my life and the things that

792
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 6: He's done for me. And when I have that, then

793
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 6: I want to serve him. I want to I want

794
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 6: to be there. I want to be discipled. And so

795
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 6: that's a that's a hard part, and that's why we started.

796
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: Army of Love is diving into some of those issues

Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, before we talk about the big party coming up,

841
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: do you have any last words as far as like

842
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 4: encouragement just for someone that's coming from where you where

843
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: you are at with relationship, about the relationship or maybe

844
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,479
Speaker 4: maybe not married several times but just trying to find

845
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 4: the right guy, or maybe he just feels lonely and

846
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 4: broken and maybe you had a relationship with God but

847
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 4: you feel maybe feel he's distant or you're running just however,

848
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 4: you want to speak to those people that are in

849
00:45:58,840 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: those areas and I'm gonna come to you.

850
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: Advice that I like to give people is just that

851
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, instead of seeking a relationship, make sure you

852
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: seek God and know that you're whole and healed, because

853
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: if you're going to that relationship to get you're likely

854
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: not going to be able to give as much because

855
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: if you're healed and whole, then you have a lot

856
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: more to offer in that relationship. But if you're like

857
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: I need someone or I need you know, to fill

858
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: that void, which is where I was, you know, they

859
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: weren't ever going to be able to fill that void,

860
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: and even Christians still do this, you know, they say, well, yeah,

861
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: I know I have got in my life and so

862
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: did I. But there's a difference between having God in

863
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: your life and and actually healing those areas, those wounds

864
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: and being whole and then going into our relationship.

865
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: How does someone do that?

866
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 4: What does that look like practically for someone that goes, okay, I.

867
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 3: Want to what do I do?

868
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I call myself a Christian, I go to church,

869
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 4: but still.

870
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know what we would do, and

871
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: we do this with people in our ministry is we

872
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: call them like heart healing sessions, and it's really going

873
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: back to the beginning. So we talk through their childhood,

874
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: we talk through different experiences, whether there's painful things that

875
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: have happened to them, things they've done that they have

876
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: guilt over, whatever it is. We walk through their whole

877
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 1: life with them, and then of course the Holy Spirit

878
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: kind of just points out certain things and you can

879
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: see by their reaction and where they are the things

880
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: that are that produce strongholds in their life. So you

881
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: see the strongholds and then you go to the route

882
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: and you go, okay, well, we don't want to just

883
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: tell them we'll stop doing that. It's like, okay, we

884
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: have to go to the route why those stronghold are there,

885
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: and we have to pray. We have to break it down,

886
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: get them to walk through, because you know, our mind

887
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: is a big part of all of this. You know,

888
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: like what we do, our mind's going to be there.

889
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: You know what we say, our mind's going to be there.

890
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, patterns our minds. So you know, just about

891
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: being transformed by the renewing of your mind and confessing

892
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: your trespasses to one another thing maybe healed prayer, all

893
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: of that.

894
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: So I'm going to let you continue, but I want

895
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 4: to point out something how you were talking about when

896
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 4: you when you go through things from people's past, those strongholds,

897
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 4: the strongholds could be because the strong.

898
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 3: Wold might be a weird name for someone that's listening,

899
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: they don't know what that is.

900
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 4: It's it's it's like a it's almost like a footle

901
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 4: that the enemy Satan has in your life. It could

902
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 4: be through like bitterness and anger of.

903
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 3: Something that's happened in the past. Fear, yeah, and that

904
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 3: that's this is embedding you.

905
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: And this is how Satan, the devil, he gets hooked

906
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 4: onto your life if you will, and it gives them

907
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 4: access to your life. So you're continuing to struggle with

908
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 4: the stuff and you're having anger and bitterness and stuff,

909
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 4: but it's something that could happen a long time ago that.

910
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 3: You've never released a god or asked God to help

911
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: you with forgiveness. And that's what you're talking about.

912
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: And those things, I mean, there's prayer, and there's active

913
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: self control of renewing your mind and saying no, I'm

914
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: not going to keep thinking that, or you know, if

915
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: it's depression, like okay, there's there's the prayer part, there's

916
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: this spiritual warfare component, but there's also rewiring your brain

917
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: and telling yourself gratitude, what are all the things I'm

918
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: because if you keep focusing on all the problems, those

919
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: just get larger and larger. But if you are using

920
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: your gifts, if you're focusing on all the wonderful things

921
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: you're grateful for, you know, it starts to change. It

922
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: starts to change what you think. So I believe that

923
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: that is one of the greatest things we can do,

924
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: not just for a relationship a marriage, but for being

925
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: vessels of God's love, you know, because the more healed

926
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: and hole we are. And if we're able to do

927
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: it with a partner and that is like minded on

928
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: that same page, then you know we're just we're that

929
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: much more effective and able to show God's love to

930
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: others because I look at it like we're this cup, right,

931
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: and if you have maybe some some stuff that's stuck

932
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: to the inside or something that's already filled, it's filled

933
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 1: up a little bit with something else. God's love goes

934
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: into it, but you have other things taking up space

935
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: and that affects the cup. So when and then when

936
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: you pour it somewhere, you know whatever it was already

937
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: in there is being mixed with what you're pouring.

938
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 3: Out, So so you allow clean you yes, from.

939
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: The inside, not just like the like the All right,

940
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: we have a couple of minutes left.

941
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: What you have any last words? You know?

942
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 6: I just I dealt a lot with with fear and

943
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 6: just holding secrets in and I think you know I

944
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 6: was molested at a time, and it was one of

945
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 6: the hardest things for me to talk about that.

946
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 7: But I'll tell you that I never experienced God like.

947
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 6: I did until I did, until I did open up

948
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 6: about that, And it was because someone else talked about it,

949
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 6: and you know, they they encouraged me to step forward

950
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 6: in that. And so I just want to encourage people,

951
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 6: you know, if they're dealing with something they think they're

952
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 6: going to take it to their grave or whatever it is,

953
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 6: look for a Bible study group, a church.

954
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 3: You know.

955
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 6: Even in the last few years, I've developed relationships with

956
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 6: some of the guys in our group who I feel

957
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 6: very close to and I can talk about anything with.

958
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 6: And I don't really think that I had that, you know,

959
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 6: for a lot of years in my life, but I

960
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 6: see just how powerful and beneficial it is and it

961
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 6: has been.

962
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 7: For me to have that in my life.

963
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 6: Lindsay was actually the one that you know, really really

964
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 6: pushed into my life. She knew there was something there

965
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 6: that I hadn't dealt with, and I mean, man, I

966
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 6: broke down in tears and I just fell apart, but

967
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 6: I just fell apart in a in such a way

968
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 6: of of release and like freedom, freedom, and I just

969
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 6: that changed my life. That was That was probably that

970
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 6: pivotal moment in my life that changed my direction.

971
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,959

974
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 4: at the turning point, and I was like, I didn't

975
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 4: know that, but you left up I didn't get a

976
