Like one 26 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: barrier a lot of us may have is our schedule. 27 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: So like, on a scale of one to ten, how 28 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: hectic is your life? 29 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? Very very hectic. Yeah. 30 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: Your husband even teased you about recently agreeing to serve 31 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: on a committee in your neighborhood because you have enough 32 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: on your plate. 33 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Yes, we live a very busy life. 34 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would imagine our listeners are feeling the 35 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: same way. Some of them may be sitting in traffic 36 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: right now listening to this. What do you think is 37 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: contributing to that? 38 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: For you? It's just a multitude of things. 39 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 6: You know that we have work, the girls have school, 40 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 6: they have played aids. I'm studying full time too, I 41 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 6: keep joining committees, and I'm away a lot. 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 43 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 6: So I think when you're busy like that, I can 44 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 6: be easy to just lock yourself in your house for 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 6: the little time that you are home, rather than venture 46 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 6: out and hang out with your neighbors. 47 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: Right. 48 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: The scripture that really encouraged this portion of your study 49 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: is taken from Luke. Could you read that to us? 50 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: This is Luke ten verses thirty eight to forty two. 51 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 6: It says as Jesus and his disciples were on their way, 52 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: he came to a village where a woman named Matha 53 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 6: opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 6: who sat at the Lord's fate listening to what he said. 55 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 6: But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had 56 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 6: to be made. She came to him and asked, Lord, 57 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 6: don't you care that my sister has left me to 58 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 6: do the work by myself. Tell her to help me, 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 6: Matha Matha, The Lord answered, you are worried and upset 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 6: about many things, but few things that needed or indeed 61 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: only one. Mary has chosen what is better and will 62 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 6: not be taken away from her. 63 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: Hey, you're listening to the Salvation Armies words of life. 64 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 4: We're going to take a quick, bad break and we'll 65 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: be right back. 66 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: I'm not a parent, I don't have the same pressures 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: of school dates and playdates and that kind of thing. 68 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: But just as an employee of a huge organization and 69 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: a friend and a churchgoer and a husband and a 70 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: life is just busy. I think that's just the nature 71 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: of busy. And now everything demands our attention. These devices 72 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: that we carry that have all the information and things. 73 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: How does this scripture speak to you? 74 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I am I like this scripture, but I'm also 75 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 6: challenged by the scripture a lot because it makes us 76 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: actually think about the things that we're doing and what 77 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: priorities we are putting first in our life, and whether 78 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 6: we should be busy with all those things or if 79 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 6: there's things that we can lay down. And then I 80 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 6: also think that it says to me that God is 81 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 6: in the midst of all that we're doing. If we 82 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 6: have Him as our savior, if he is lord of 83 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 6: our life, then all of our life is worshiped to him. Right, 84 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 6: And so even if we're taking out trash and we 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 6: just engage with our neighbor, then we are able to 86 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 6: do that. 87 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Or if we are already. 88 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 6: Have something going on at a house and we've invited people, 89 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 6: we can invite our neighbors as well. Or for me, 90 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 6: if I'm like studying and but my girls are watching TV, 91 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 6: then I can invite the little girls next door to 92 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 6: come over and watch TV with my girls while I'm 93 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 6: studying in the same room. So you can just make 94 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 6: space for people where you think there wasn't any space. 95 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 6: And I think that that's part of just looking at 96 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 6: your life and what you're doing, what you're making yourself 97 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 6: busy with. Are your priorities in right order or is 98 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 6: there a space in those places for you to still 99 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 6: engage with people? Because sometimes we just use our busyness 100 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 6: as an excuse. And so I feel like this scripture 101 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 6: kind of makes us take a step back and be like, 102 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 6: I'll be really that busy or am I making an 103 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 6: excuse to avoid talking to people or to avoid engaging 104 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 6: with people. 105 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: Man, there's so many things we could do better. 106 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a lot of ways that I need 107 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: to improve for sure. 108 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: Well, and I like the idea of you know, when 109 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: you're you said, when you're taking out your trash, maybe 110 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 2: just wave to a neighbor say hi, you know, actually 111 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: engage at some level. Sometimes we drive right past them. 112 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: I have a neighbor that walks every morning and as 113 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: I'm pulling out, he's so faithful to wave and make 114 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 2: sure that I know that he's there or something, and 115 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't even know his name. It's just crazy. So 116 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: we can do better. That's the challenge to all of us. 117 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: And you know, from a Christian worldview, we really should 118 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: do better so that people not only see Jesus in us, 119 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: but if given the opportunity, people maybe hear what he's 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: doing in our lives. 121 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like with. 122 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 6: Our neighbors, she my husband and I have been away 123 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 6: a lot at separate times, so one of us is 124 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 6: home and the other one is not, and our neighborhood 125 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 6: notices which cars in the driveway, and you know who 126 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 6: often say, oh, I haven't seen you for a few weeks, 127 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 6: you know, And it's an opportunity to be like, hey, yeah, 128 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 6: I've been I've been doing this, you know. And I 129 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 6: just get to talk about my ministry or she gets 130 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: to talk about what he's been doing. And so it's 131 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 6: very natural and it's very organic. It's not sitting down 132 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 6: and having this huge like Bible study with them. It's 133 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: literally just living life and then sharing the stories and 134 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 6: allowing the Lord to work through those stories. 135 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: But me and my husband are definitely not perfect. 136 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 6: Like there are times when I drive in and I'm like, oh, 137 00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 6: I don't I don't want. 138 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: To talk to anyone right now for the couch. Yeah. 139 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, but I know that the Lord works on me 140 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 6: and challenges me and convects me and in those. 141 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: Spaces, we pray that you're enjoying and being blessed by 142 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: this conversation. We're going to take one more ad break 143 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 4: and we'll be right back. 144 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 7: When we first arrived, they were kind of still stuck 145 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 7: in that in that COVID area. Our suit kitchen was 146 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 7: still serving meals at the back door, the dining room 147 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 7: wasn't open yet. Social services were meeting me at telephone, 148 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 7: and not a lot of people coming in and in 149 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 7: food boxes out from the back door. It was really 150 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 7: really kind of like we took a step back from 151 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 7: our previous appointment where we were really interactive. A lot 152 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 7: of the people in the community family store had closed 153 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 7: during COVID, so a lot of the people here in 154 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 7: the community really knew of the Army, but in like 155 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 7: most communities, they knew of the Army as a family store. 156 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 7: They didn't know that we were a all of what 157 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 7: we did. So one of the things that we did, 158 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 7: and we learned it in training, was you kind of 159 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 7: do an exegesis of the community, right, what is this 160 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 7: community you're going into. So what we found out is 161 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 7: there's a lot of poverty here, around eighty percent of 162 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 7: the housing here in this community is rental housing, so 163 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 7: that means only twenty percent of the people here own 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 7: their own home. There's not a lot of industry, there's 165 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 7: not a lot of jobs, and those that are are 166 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 7: low paying jobs. So you kind of understand that you're 167 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 7: coming into a community that is already is probably stricken. 168 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 7: So you know that there's going to be a lot 169 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 7: of needs, a lot of needs that need to be met. 170 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,359 Speaker 7: And so but being right outside of a military community, 171 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 7: this community, we know that this area is starting to grow. 172 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 7: Things are starting to come and the economy starting to 173 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 7: come back after being in a post COVID area. So 174 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 7: what that meant was is that the housing that is here, 175 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 7: that is rental housing, is starting to go up, and 176 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 7: then those low paying jobs aren't able to sustain the 177 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 7: increased amount of rent payments. You used to get could 178 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 7: get a three bedroom a house three better in one 179 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 7: bath for around six hundred a month. The same three bedroom, 180 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 7: two baths house is now running around fifteen hundred bucks. 181 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 7: It's kind of doubled since we've been here. People can't 182 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 7: afford it, and I think that's across the nation. One 183 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 7: of the biggest things that we hear is people having 184 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 7: to make decisions. And so with housing costs go up, 185 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 7: so does groceries and everything else, and so people were 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 7: having to decide do we pay rent or do we 187 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 7: buy groceries? Do we feed our kids? You know, So 188 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 7: those are just every everyday situations that we take for granted. 189 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 7: They were having to make those real life decisions. The 190 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 7: kids are the ones that suffer because at the end 191 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 7: of the day, they don't know what the family is 192 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 7: actually going through. And so you see that and you 193 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 7: take you know, you're taking them to camp, and it 194 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 7: gives them that that family that relief because for one week, ouh, 195 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 7: that family doesn't have to worry about where the where 196 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 7: those children's meals are going to come from. You know, 197 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 7: they get out of that, out of that situation for 198 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 7: a week. But then they come right back and talking 199 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 7: with the families, they're just like, we don't know what 200 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 7: to do. It's either feed the kids or pay the bills. 201 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 7: And you know, of course, we know that the decision 202 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 7: is going to be made. 203 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: It's to feed the kids. 204 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 7: So one of the things that we all go through 205 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 7: as training is is we're giving us and we're told 206 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 7: to go out and to be shepherds. Our flock may 207 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 7: not look like what we think our flock may be. 208 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 7: The people that are coming and asking for assistance, those 209 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 7: are the people God's called us to serve. And each 210 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 7: person that my wife and I help, we send a serf. 211 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 7: We send them a letter and we tell them thank 212 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 7: you because if their need allowed us to live out 213 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 7: our calling, because had they not had a need, we 214 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 7: wouldn't be able, we wouldn't have been able to live 215 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 7: out what God called us to do. So where they 216 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 7: think we're helping them, they're actually helping us follow in 217 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 7: what God has called us as salvation army officers, as 218 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 7: pastors to do. 219 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: I would say the exact same thing. And I'm reminded 220 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 5: every time we help a family out, like the fifty 221 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 5: eight families that we helped out, yes they got a 222 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 5: first start, but the ones with children and even without children, 223 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 5: and you hand them that key to their home, I 224 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 5: want people to just realize that you're not just giving 225 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 5: them a key to a house that they're going to 226 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 5: just say, oh, this is a house. They're going to 227 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 5: take that key and they're going to make that key 228 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: into a home that they've prayed for and being in 229 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 5: this community. It's reminded me every day of God's grace. 230 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 5: Because of the fifty eight families that came to us 231 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: that needed the. 232 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: Help, we were able to help them. 233 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 5: I have again, Pastor o heart. My heart's always if 234 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 5: you give forward, it's going to always give forward back 235 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 5: to other people. So we're hoping that the love and 236 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 5: grace that the Salvation Army here in Watkinsville, Kentucky has 237 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: showed them that they would pay it forward to someone 238 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 5: that they see and need as well, that you know 239 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 5: they're able to help. 240 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: The Salvation Army's mission doing the most good means helping 241 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: people with material and spiritual needs.
