Speaker 1: Money, money.
Speaker 2: Money puppies don't care about money news. It's a good thing.
Speaker 2: They're so darn cuddly. This is the Bloomberg Money Minutes
Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: All right, time to say good morning once again? Did
Speaker 3: Gina serve Vetti from the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Gina,
Speaker 3: good morning, fast food chains. I guess they're hanging in
Speaker 3: there pretty well right now compared to some other restaurants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just heard from McDonald's this morning. Tom It
Speaker 4: reported faster than expected sales growth in the US in
Speaker 4: the latest quarter. Diners spent more on their visits overall
Speaker 4: comparable sales that's a key sales metric for retailers and restaurants.
Speaker 4: Or in line with expectations, earnings fell a bit short,
Speaker 4: but fast food restaurants do appear to be holding up
Speaker 4: better than so called fast casual chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill,
Speaker 4: which have a higher price point generally, but McDonald's has
Speaker 4: been trying to restore its reputation as a top spot
Speaker 4: for affordable meals. It's been offering a lot of new
Speaker 4: deals in promo.
Speaker 3: Tom Instacart is rolling out a new AI assistant and
Speaker 3: Kroger apparently is involved in this.
Speaker 4: Right Yes, Instacart is adding AI powered tools for grocers.
Speaker 4: This includes an assistant that can make product recommendations. The
Speaker 4: company says it'll be offered as part of its service
Speaker 4: that powers the online shopping sites for some grocery chains,
Speaker 4: and Instacart plans to test out this chatbot in the
Speaker 4: coming months. It'll be available on Kroger's iPhone app. Users
Speaker 4: will be able to do things like ask the assistant
Speaker 4: to create a meal plan for a family of four,
Speaker 4: for example, and then directly add those ingredients to the
Speaker 4: shopping cart.
Speaker 5: All right. In the futures this morning, Gina, Well they
Speaker 5: look a.
Speaker 4: Little bit better than they did earlier. Dow futures are
Speaker 4: actually up four points, SMP futures down nine, Nasdaq futures
Speaker 4: are down sixty from Bloomberg. Gena Cervetti on News Radio
Speaker 4: seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to the morning show here on
Speaker 3: the Big One, seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 5: It is eight ten. I was talking about it earlier.
Speaker 3: There's a brand new exhibit that is passing through the
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Museum Center and it is called Auschwitz Not Long Ago,
Speaker 3: Not far Away, featuring five hundred original artifacts from Auschwitz,
Speaker 3: the largest collection outside of Europe, and kind enough to
Speaker 3: take the time to join us. Elizabeth Pierres, my old
Speaker 3: dear friend, President and CEO of the Cincinnati Museum Center.
Speaker 3: She's a big hitter, big hitter, love it now. She's
Speaker 3: changed through the years. And Jackie Kenjado, who is the
Speaker 3: CEO of the Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust and Humanities
Speaker 3: Center inside of the Museum Center. Ladies, thank you for
Speaker 3: coming in. We were talking off the air a second ago.
Speaker 3: Either one of you take this question the further and
Speaker 3: further we get. Thus the name not long Ago, not
Speaker 3: far Away. I don't know what they're teaching now in
Speaker 3: school about the Second World War, about the Holocaust. Maybe
Speaker 3: they're doing a brilliant job. I don't know. I know
Speaker 3: there the more time goes by, it seems like we're
Speaker 3: not remembering that the way we should.
Speaker 5: Is that fair?
Speaker 6: I think it's yeah.
Speaker 7: So this is the question, and this is the reason
Speaker 7: for the name of the exhibition, not long Ago, not
Speaker 7: far Away, because the further this gets into the past,
Speaker 7: the harder it is, particularly for young people to conceptualize
Speaker 7: that this is still part of our world and part
Speaker 7: of our in so many ways, and we draw those
Speaker 7: connections in a number of ways. So you know, first
Speaker 7: of all, we have people in our community, Cincinnatians, our neighbors,
Speaker 7: are friends, people who work in our businesses who survived this,
Speaker 7: who are still alive to tell the story today. And
Speaker 7: we have been able to weave those stories into this exhibition.
Speaker 7: When you come down to Union Terminal to see it,
Speaker 7: so you'll see it really is not so long ago.
Speaker 7: There are still people who are with us who are
Speaker 7: talking about what happened to them as children and as
Speaker 7: young people as part of this history. The other part
Speaker 7: that's really I think important is it was not long
Speaker 7: a go, not far away in terms of how could
Speaker 7: you know? It sort of asked the question, how could
Speaker 7: a civilization, not so unlike our own, with educated people
Speaker 7: in a contemporary context, build as architects this sort of
Speaker 7: machine of mass murder and participate in it on a
Speaker 7: societal scale. And so that's a question we should ask ourselves.
Speaker 7: You know, at any given moment, any of us are
Speaker 7: susceptible to the best and the worst of humanity and
Speaker 7: to being kind of pulled in any different direction. So
Speaker 7: that's a phenomenon we all wrestle with every day, right
Speaker 7: the choices we make, and whether we choose to fall
Speaker 7: victim to our worst nature or rise to our best nature.
Speaker 3: More than one point one million people were executed. I mean,
Speaker 3: whether they were starved or whether they were put into
Speaker 3: a gas chamber, executed as a word. End of story, Elizabeth.
Speaker 3: Now this particular traveling using a were five hundred artifacts internationally,
Speaker 3: but two local artifacts have also been added to this
Speaker 3: Cincinnati stuff. You shared with something with me. I had
Speaker 3: no idea about some of the people when they left poland,
Speaker 3: left Germany and came to the United States. They came
Speaker 3: through here, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Through Union Terminal.
Speaker 1: So when we talk about not long ago, not far away,
Speaker 1: not far away, is right here in Cincinnati at Union Terminal.
Speaker 6: We talk about this a lot. It gives us all
Speaker 6: the chills.
Speaker 1: Like you know, Werner Koppel, who is one of the
Speaker 1: stories that's featured in the exhibition, arrived in Cincinnati with
Speaker 1: a suitcase, a wife and a baby. And that suitcase,
Speaker 1: which is part of Jackie's collection at the Holocaust and
Speaker 1: Humanity Center, is woven into the exhibit. So we worked
Speaker 1: very closely with the international exhibition producers to say we
Speaker 1: have incredible stories of survivors in Cincinnati. We want to
Speaker 1: weave those throughout the exhibition, and in particular, there's a
Speaker 1: special section of the exhibit that is Cincinnati a New
Speaker 1: Beginning that allows us to lift up not only Werner's story,
Speaker 1: but several others, and it will give you the dimensions
Speaker 1: of these people who we have lived with in our lives,
Speaker 1: in our community. They took their first steps through Union
Speaker 1: Terminal to start.
Speaker 6: Their new lives.
Speaker 5: That is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Let me follow up one thing with you there. I
Speaker 3: think you guys are suggesting to at least give yourself
Speaker 3: a couple of hours to come down and see the exhibit. Right,
Speaker 3: So one of some of the things that they're going
Speaker 3: to see, or that they might expect or if they
Speaker 3: have children, is it something that they ought.
Speaker 5: To be a little leery about in that regard.
Speaker 1: So the recommendation is seventh grade forward is the right
Speaker 1: timing for students to come through the exhibition itself. If
Speaker 1: you really want to drink it in, it's probably a
Speaker 1: two and a half to three hour experience.
Speaker 6: We give you an audio.
Speaker 1: Guide so you can listen to narration and videos and
Speaker 1: you can do that at your own pace, So it
Speaker 1: just kind of depends on how much you want to
Speaker 1: spend there.
Speaker 6: It's a lot of information.
Speaker 1: One of the key things that Jackie and I have
Speaker 1: worked on is we really want you not only to
Speaker 1: see the exhibit itself, but we want you to understand
Speaker 1: that the Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center
Speaker 1: is a resource in Union Terminal all the time, and
Speaker 1: so you can have a discounted ticket to come back
Speaker 1: and see the local stories in much greater depth because
Speaker 1: what Jackie and her team have done at that museum
Speaker 1: have created not just Auschwitz survivor stories, but all the
Speaker 1: Holocaust survivor's stories, and they've added the upstander component to it,
Speaker 1: which is about character, strength and understanding, resilience and courage
Speaker 1: and what does that do for us going forward? So
Speaker 1: there are ways to see the exhibit here now and
Speaker 1: do it before the holidays, or do it as a
Speaker 1: family experience during the holidays, right, Like incredible robust family
Speaker 1: discussions that should come from this experience, like talk about
Speaker 1: family history with World War Two, if your mom or
Speaker 1: dad are still alive and you're able to have a
Speaker 1: conversation about how did that, Yeah, where did that fit
Speaker 1: into your life. That's a really robust experience, and just
Speaker 1: think about right veterans Veterans Day coming up, you.
Speaker 7: Knowsgiving Yeah, gratitude, I mean, there is no better way
Speaker 7: to feel a deep sense of gratitude than it comes
Speaker 7: through this exhibition.
Speaker 1: No better way, Yeah, no better way. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot to do, but you can think about how you
Speaker 1: want to plan your schedule.
Speaker 5: You and I were talking off the year.
Speaker 3: We were talking off the year and Jackie about you
Speaker 3: guys started the Holocaust and Humanity Center, I think you
Speaker 3: said back in two thousand and nineteen. This Auschwitz exhibit
Speaker 3: is very specific obviously to what exactly occurred there in
Speaker 3: Poland and then the sort of spin off for lack
Speaker 3: of a better term, into Birkenal, But on a daily basis,
Speaker 3: if people want to come down to the Holocaust and
Speaker 3: Humanity Center, what are some of the things you feature
Speaker 3: that they could see there.
Speaker 7: So, as Elizabeth said, it's actually a really complementary experience
Speaker 7: to the exhibition that will be there through March. The
Speaker 7: Auswitz exhibition, we have stories of local survivors that sort
Speaker 7: of walk you through from their eyewitness accounts the history
Speaker 7: as they experienced it and veterans i should say liberators.
Speaker 7: And we have a number of other really sort of
Speaker 7: incredible immersive opportunities as well. We have Dimensions and Testimony
Speaker 7: where you can actually have a real conversation in real
Speaker 7: time with a survivor. It's not AI, it's real video,
Speaker 7: but it is augmented. It's sort of supported through an
Speaker 7: AI algorithm. But you can literally walk up in front
Speaker 7: of right now doctor al Miller, who passed away three
Speaker 7: years ago, and you can have a conversation, ask him
Speaker 7: about his time during the war. You can ask him
Speaker 7: about his favorite flavor of Greater's ice cream and how
Speaker 7: much he likes the Reds. You can ask him any
Speaker 7: question and he'll answer it. So that's something people really
Speaker 7: ought to do. And then we have this whole Humanity gallery,
Speaker 7: which is an exploration and how we can use this
Speaker 7: history to inspire a sense and activate character strengths in
Speaker 7: us that allow us to be what we call upstanders.
Speaker 7: So there were bystanders, they were upstairs, people who stood by,
Speaker 7: There were people who stood up. What was it about
Speaker 7: the people who stood up? And how can we find
Speaker 7: that in ourselves and activate that through these character strengths
Speaker 7: that we use. So it's you know, definitely come down
Speaker 7: seven days a week. We'll be there and excited to
Speaker 7: see people.
Speaker 5: So this will be running until what April? Right April?
Speaker 6: Okay, but don't wait.
Speaker 5: And what are some of the artifacts that are in there.
Speaker 1: They range from large concrete posts with barbed wire on them,
Speaker 1: so you get a sense of the physicality of the
Speaker 1: camp and a portion of the barracks so you understand
Speaker 1: how many people were squeezed together in those buildings, to
Speaker 1: buttons and hair brushes and toothbrushes and a child's shoe
Speaker 1: and a woman's red high heeled shoe right thinking like
Speaker 1: she was going on a train journey somewhere and this
Speaker 1: is the last thing that she put on.
Speaker 6: So it's incredibly moving and powerful.
Speaker 1: It's deeply human, and I hope that it means that
Speaker 1: people walk away with an appreciation for life and joy
Speaker 1: and understand how we have to make choices every day.
Speaker 3: Boy, when you go to Sensimuseum dot org and you
Speaker 3: see the video, I mean, I get.
Speaker 6: Well, we know you're an emotional, softy guy to be here,
Speaker 6: I am, but this one even for.
Speaker 7: Folks who are emotional and softy is this a very
Speaker 7: heavy and moving history that everyone should witness.
Speaker 1: I give you a hard time about that, but that's
Speaker 1: your showing your humanity right there, and that's what we
Speaker 1: want people to have an experience with with this history.
Speaker 6: History is not long ago, it is not far away.
Speaker 1: It is deeply touching to our humanity and it should
Speaker 1: create additional conversations and opportunities for us to be better
Speaker 1: human beings.
Speaker 3: Well, what you guys are doing is awesome. I can't
Speaker 3: wait to get down there and check it out. Elizabeth Pierce,
Speaker 3: President and CEO of the Cincinnati Museum Center, and Jackie Conjato,
Speaker 3: thank you guys both so very.
Speaker 5: Much for taking the time to come down here.
Speaker 3: This is great stuff and the best of success on

Speaker 3: running through April at the Cincinnati Museum Center.
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5: Have a good day, ladies. It is a twenty on
Speaker 5: the nose.

Speaker 3: we're getting close to the holidays, people start to get
Speaker 3: really really stressed out, and we'll talk with that. Perhaps
Speaker 3: ways to help with Pastor Chad hoved it' say twenty
Speaker 3: two WLW.
Speaker 2: Bny minny learn to grow your money like an investment farmer.
Speaker 2: This is the Boomburg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: Now and it's thirty sixth day. What is the economic
Speaker 4: cost of the government shutdown every week that passes coust
Speaker 4: the economy anywhere from ten billion to thirty billion based
Speaker 4: on analysts estimates. Toyota raised its annual profit guidance after
Speaker 4: Japan's trade deal with President Donald Trump avoided a worst
Speaker 4: case scenario for tariffs on cars and auto parts, but
Speaker 4: shares dropped as the guidance disappointed investors. The Supreme Court
Speaker 4: is scheduled to hear arguments on the legality of some
Speaker 4: of the President's tariffs today. Mattel's CEO Eon Cris said
Speaker 4: the company is well positioned with products across every price
Speaker 4: range as consumers shop the toy aisle for Christmas gifts.
Speaker 4: He also touted a seven hundred dollars Hot Wheels collectors set,
Speaker 4: but said you can still buy a Hot Wheels car
Speaker 4: for a dollar twenty five. In an interview with David Rubinstein,
Speaker 4: the Mattel CEO said at about two thirds of the
Speaker 4: annual sales of the barbie maker are in the second
Speaker 4: half of the year as the company looks to meet
Speaker 4: demand over the holidays. From Bloomberg Ginas Cervetti on NewsRadio
Speaker 4: seven hundred DOUBLW.
Speaker 5: Friday thirty nine.
Speaker 3: Pastor Chad Hoven, lead pastor at the Horizon Community Church
Speaker 3: right there in Newtown along the banks of the Little
Speaker 3: Miami River. What a beautiful morning it is, Pastor Chad.
Speaker 3: How are you today?
Speaker 9: I'm doing pretty well. How about yourself?
Speaker 3: No complaints, absolutely none. It was very I got a
Speaker 3: little broken up here talking about that new exhibit that
Speaker 3: is starting down at the Cincinnati Museum Center about Auschwitz,
Speaker 3: and boy, if people go to Cincinnati Museum dot org,
Speaker 3: they will see.
Speaker 5: Just some of the pictures video.
Speaker 3: It just tears you'll, Okay, I tell you what else
Speaker 3: tears people up this time of year, Chad. We're getting
Speaker 3: into the holidays, and it's a time of great joy,
Speaker 3: of thankfulness, of celebration, hopefully spending a lot of time
Speaker 3: with family and friends. It is also I would imagine
Speaker 3: you tell me from your shoes, walking in your shoes,
Speaker 3: it has to be one of the most stressful times
Speaker 3: of the year for a lot of folks out there.
Speaker 10: Well, with that a doubt in fact, if you think
Speaker 10: about it, just what we try and accomplish. Just in
Speaker 10: Christmas time, for example, you're going to if I told
Speaker 10: you any other month, in the next thirty days, you're
Speaker 10: going to have five different parties. You're going to buy
Speaker 10: gifts for everybody you know, You're going to travel at
Speaker 10: three different locations on and you're going to decorate the house.
Speaker 9: You can tear everything down.
Speaker 10: You'd think I would never try and do all that
Speaker 10: in one thirty day period of time. So just the
Speaker 10: nature what we take on, and part of those are
Speaker 10: all wonderful experiences or attempts to create wonderful environments, but
Speaker 10: just the amount we take on in preparing for that.
Speaker 10: And then yes, you're with people that you love and
Speaker 10: care about, but also people that drive you crazy.
Speaker 9: And so in one.
Speaker 10: Sense we're all stressed up, with all stressed up, but
Speaker 10: no place to go. And so I do think learning
Speaker 10: how to deal with our stress. Having expectations often causes
Speaker 10: stress too, because you're like, hey, I know everyone's going
Speaker 10: to get along. Well they've never given not everyone has
Speaker 10: ever gotten along ever before. Yeah, it's normal to a misunderstanding.
Speaker 10: It's normal for you know, one person doesn't want this
Speaker 10: or wants to eat it this time. So I think
Speaker 10: a lot of it with stress is setting your expectation.
Speaker 10: And also I think understanding where stress comes from and
Speaker 10: how to handle it can be helpful because especially needs dad.
Speaker 10: One thing I learned over.
Speaker 9: Sixteen years, you know, I've had a.
Speaker 10: Special needs son with severe autism, is my circumstances weren't
Speaker 10: going to change radically, you know, I had a stressful situation.
Speaker 10: I think for many of us. We think stress is
Speaker 10: something that happens to you versus something happens in you.
Speaker 10: There's a big difference. Now, that's not to say they
Speaker 10: aren't triggers when things happen. Yes, those happened to me,
Speaker 10: But two people can encounter the exact same circumstance and
Speaker 10: handle it very differently. Well, that tells you something. That
Speaker 10: tells you that stress is not primarily what happens to you.
Speaker 10: So what happens in you? How are you going to
Speaker 10: process that? I like and sometimes the stress of because
Speaker 10: ongoing chaos of special needs was like driving a car
Speaker 10: from here to Chicago. And just so when you hop
Speaker 10: in the car with me, I locked the doors and say, hey,
Speaker 10: by the way, I enjoy your ride to Chicago. By
Speaker 10: the way, there's two wasts here. One of the wasts
Speaker 10: you can see is right there on your windshield. The
Speaker 10: other one, I'm not sure where it is. Enjoy your ride.
Speaker 10: And that's how it feels. Sometimes it's like I know
Speaker 10: one of the things I need to deal with, there's
Speaker 10: another one hiding in this car, and I can occasionally
Speaker 10: hear the buzz. What happens then, is your whole body,
Speaker 10: your inner rpm goes up like you know, seven thousand
Speaker 10: RPMs and you're like, well, I need to call myself
Speaker 10: back down to one thousand rpm. I can't.
Speaker 9: There's two wasps in this car.
Speaker 10: One I can see, and one's going to bite me
Speaker 10: at any minute or sting me in minutes. So part
Speaker 10: of what I had to learn is there were often
Speaker 10: two walks, one I knew about and what I didn't.
Speaker 10: Almost every day, I need to learn how to the one,
Speaker 10: not say my circumstance is going to change to get
Speaker 10: me distressed if something happened in me. I need to
Speaker 10: learn how to better manage the things I have, how
Speaker 10: to think about it differently. And then I had to
Speaker 10: practice getting that rpm. I could never get it quite
Speaker 10: down to one thousand rpm, but I can move from
Speaker 10: eight to five. And part of that's what scientists called neuroplasticity,
Speaker 10: and that's the ability to actually kind of reform your
Speaker 10: physical brain with your mind. How am I going to
Speaker 10: think about this? How can I process that. I've mentioned
Speaker 10: this before, but one thing helps with stress is what
Speaker 10: I call hippo wrestling. A lot of times you think
Speaker 10: you're dealing with the real issue, but you're actually dealing
Speaker 10: with your hip hippothomas. And so when you get triggered
Speaker 10: for stress, it kind of goes in three stages. Stage
Speaker 10: one is there's a trigger, and it could be something
Speaker 10: happens to you. It could be I think about something
Speaker 10: that might happen. If I'm a warrior, I could be
Speaker 10: my own trigger. Well, then what happens is your hippocampus
Speaker 10: or hippo thamas kicks in. It begins to release adrenaline, cortisol,
Speaker 10: and you kick into what's called fight or fight. So
Speaker 10: back to my wasp example, You're like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 10: I think I hear the wasp. I wonder if it's
Speaker 10: over here? Do I need to fight? Am I gonna
Speaker 10: have to swing at this thing? Am I gonna have
Speaker 10: to jump out of the car. And so that's why
Speaker 10: your RPM goes up, because that hippo campus is kicked in. Well,
Speaker 10: that hip, the canvas that can help you in many arenas,
Speaker 10: can lie to you. Sometimes you don't have a need
Speaker 10: to be triggered, but you said they got this hippo
Speaker 10: squeezing all the strepps into you, freezing squeezing all this
Speaker 10: this cortisol in you and adrenaline, and then you get
Speaker 10: stuck there and where top chronic stresses. You don't realize
Speaker 10: your hippo Thomas is h is taken over. And so
Speaker 10: part of hippo wrestling is learning, am I really dealing
Speaker 10: with a real issue or am I dealing.
Speaker 9: With my reaction to the real issue?
Speaker 10: How can I think about this differently? How can I
Speaker 10: process differently?
Speaker 3: You know a word that I think that I mean
Speaker 3: the older I get and we all try to do
Speaker 3: things better each and every day. Sometimes we succeed, oftentimes
Speaker 3: we take two steps back. But it's that word expectations.
Speaker 3: Give me an example of what you would say to
Speaker 3: somebody you used, you know, Okay, here comes family. They're
Speaker 3: going to be staying at our house. Man, We're all
Speaker 3: going to get along great well. In reality, we probably
Speaker 3: know if we're honest with ourselves, which we infrequently are,
Speaker 3: truth be told that there's going to be some stress. So,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of going back to what we talked
Speaker 3: about a couple of weeks ago, sort of setting your expectations,
Speaker 3: maybe having a conversation ahead of time before people come in.
Speaker 5: Would you suggest things like that?
Speaker 10: I do think it's helpful because often, you know, when
Speaker 10: you have multiple personalities in the room, I'll go in
Speaker 10: family dynamics, and beforehand I'll say, hey, like, what time
Speaker 10: do you like to get up early? What time do
Speaker 10: you want to do stuff? And so you're trying to
Speaker 10: set expectations on how things work. Hey, some people like
Speaker 10: to sleep in, some people don't. Hey, really would be
Speaker 10: helpful if you didn't bring up that subject. So I'll
Speaker 10: even start respectfully though, Hey, you're an adult, you can
Speaker 10: do whatever you want. But as I was thinking about
Speaker 10: who's going to be together, I think it might be
Speaker 10: helpful if would you be willing to lots of questions,
Speaker 10: a lot of respectful keeping my tone down, but I'm
Speaker 10: also trying to say I'd like to make this the
Speaker 10: best experience possible for everybody, And I do think that
Speaker 10: can be helpful. And I think internally it's almost like
Speaker 10: I don't know if you remember the old cassette tapes
Speaker 10: or eight track players, but sometimes when family gets together,
Speaker 10: you don't realize that you're playing old tapes in your mind.
Speaker 9: Like maybe your.
Speaker 10: Brother drove you crazy, he always talked disrespectful to you. Well,
Speaker 10: maybe that's still true, but every time he opens his
Speaker 10: mouth or your sister opens her mouth, you're playing you know,
Speaker 10: rispect in the back of your head, and so whatever
Speaker 10: they say, you're interpreting it through the music, the background
Speaker 10: noise of feeling disrespected. And if you can instead say,
Speaker 10: you know, I need to turn down my background music
Speaker 10: and realize that maybe I'm not reacting to what they're saying.
Speaker 10: I'm reacting to this old tape from the past. And
Speaker 10: that's where kind we move from stained glass to playing
Speaker 10: glass of stained glass. The Bible says that one way
Speaker 10: you can handle stress is you take every thought captive,
Speaker 10: and part of those expectations are what was I expecting here?
Speaker 10: Was that a realistic expectation? Do I really need to
Speaker 10: have that expectation?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 10: Is it really that important that I die on every
Speaker 10: single hill here? And then on the other side, the
Speaker 10: Bible says, renew your mind, and so you can think
Speaker 10: differently about this. You know, is it okay that your
Speaker 10: family doesn't get along.
Speaker 9: Well, there's the difference.
Speaker 10: Between everyone should be happy all the time at Christmas? Okay,
Speaker 10: Well you could try that drive you crazy, or you
Speaker 10: can say I'd like everyone to get along, but it's
Speaker 10: okay if they don't. But we're going to have try
Speaker 10: and have a good time as often as possible. That's
Speaker 10: a very different background noise. Otherwise, every time conflict and
Speaker 10: again I'm a person who doesn't like conflict either. But
Speaker 10: every time you hear conflict coming, the background music starts
Speaker 10: playing Jaws.
Speaker 9: You know, John, I'm thinking.
Speaker 10: About to blow up, Don I'm dying, and that blows
Speaker 10: up because of the selfilling prophecy versus, Hey, you know what,
Speaker 10: the kids going to sometimes disagree on politics or whatever
Speaker 10: it is. But I might call in the dance and say, hey, guys,
Speaker 10: we know those different opinion politics and the family before
Speaker 10: we get to the kitchen table. I know you got
Speaker 10: some wonderful singers about whatever your political side is. Could
Speaker 10: you not do those at the dinner table? If you
Speaker 10: and that person want to go have a conversation, you know,
Speaker 10: in the other room later on, because you enjoy that
Speaker 10: kind of thing. A lot of us don't enjoy that
Speaker 10: kind of thing. And I've got a couple family members
Speaker 10: or like that. They love talking politics and they love
Speaker 10: engaging in debates. Other people drive them crazy. So I
Speaker 10: wouldn't say at the table sometimes, hey, we all know
Speaker 10: that so and so the politics driver crazy. So hey,
Speaker 10: let's hold that off till later. And just enjoy the meal,
Speaker 10: or hey, we put a card on your table for Thanksgiving,
Speaker 10: we're going to talk about things we're thankful for today,
Speaker 10: and so we'll do a little guided questions and things
Speaker 10: like that. But I do think it's appropriate, and sometimes
Speaker 10: you can't control it, you know, you can't control people
Speaker 10: or circumstances. Other times sometimes you can guide it gently,
Speaker 10: nudget or at least try and ask everyone for mutual
Speaker 10: respect so that I think underneath the stress level and
Speaker 10: the triggers that people have and the hippos kind of
Speaker 10: get kicked in and a family gathering, I think people
Speaker 10: would like to enjoy themselves.
Speaker 5: I think the whole world.
Speaker 10: But of course, when you travel to your travel, the
Speaker 10: kids are upset, yeah, and we got managed to them.
Speaker 10: So you're not at your best either. You're not sleeping
Speaker 10: your same mattress. So even then to say everyone is
Speaker 10: not in the best circumstance, meaning thirty days of trying
Speaker 10: to do a thousand things, I'm going to give double
Speaker 10: doses of patience, double doses of grace. I'm going to
Speaker 10: assume the best. I think if if we would just
Speaker 10: come into circumstances a family and say.
Speaker 9: More often than not.
Speaker 10: I'm going to give the benefit of doubt, and I'm
Speaker 10: going to assume the best, and I'm going to imagine
Speaker 10: that someone is carrying something that I don't know. Like
Speaker 10: if I told you, hey, someone got really ticked off
Speaker 10: at you today in traffic or mad at you or
Speaker 10: an employee or a coworker, and you were telling me
Speaker 10: the story, but how inappropriate was and I said, well,
Speaker 10: did you know they just found out they got cancer.
Speaker 10: Your whole perspective would change.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 10: It still doesn't mean that what they said was appropriate
Speaker 10: or way the handle was appropriate, but suddenly that stress
Speaker 10: would all I can change my mindset and have some
Speaker 10: compassion towards the person rather than irritation as a person.
Speaker 10: Now that's the first one.
Speaker 9: So you know, my instinct is to judge and to
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 10: Realize, you know, they should me handling that correctly.
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9: I would have done that. Of course I would have
Speaker 9: done that.
Speaker 10: So I think they have and some perspective can really
Speaker 10: help you, but everyone around you as well.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: I talked about a study that came out not a
Speaker 3: study where a former head of the psychiatric division of
Speaker 3: the FDA came out yesterday and talked about how antidepressants,
Speaker 3: in his estimation, are so overprescribed in your job. So
Speaker 3: much of your job as a pastor is to walk
Speaker 3: people through some very tough days and nights. You hear
Speaker 3: all the time, man, I'm so stressed out. Are we
Speaker 3: saying we're more stressed out than we are? Or are
Speaker 3: we really more stressed out now more than ever?
Speaker 10: Well, the word is stressed became popular in nineteen seventies
Speaker 10: as kind of normal vernacular. It's actually developed in nineteen
Speaker 10: thirties and forties by an endocrinologist, and he defined it
Speaker 10: as a non specific response to a.
Speaker 9: Demand for change.
Speaker 10: And so I think it has become like the go
Speaker 10: to thing to say, Like I say, how you doing,
Speaker 10: I'm busy and I'm stressed, the two things everybody does.
Speaker 10: So I do think it's become the current vernacular for
Speaker 10: describing things. And I think it's actually kind of a
Speaker 10: deficiency of being.
Speaker 9: Able to say what's really going on.
Speaker 10: I'm worried, I'm fearful, I'm angry.
Speaker 9: It's like stresses, this.
Speaker 10: Neutral word that we all accept as appropriate, versus kind
Speaker 10: of being more honest. But I think also a little philosophy.
Speaker 10: For a second, we're living in a culture of materialism,
Speaker 10: meaning we think human beings are only material.
Speaker 9: So if you're only material.
Speaker 10: Then we just need to give you a medicine that's
Speaker 10: going to help take care of your material body. If
Speaker 10: you realize the human beings are both material and immaterial,
Speaker 10: meaning they have a soul, what you think, what you feel,
Speaker 10: and what you want, as well as a body, then
Speaker 10: you say, oh, my spiritual dimension, my soul is dimension.
Speaker 10: I can handle this with medicine, yes, but also with
Speaker 10: learning how to talk about my feelings, learning how to
Speaker 10: take captive the feelings that are inaccurate, learning how to
Speaker 10: renew my mind and think better thoughts towards the circumstance.
Speaker 10: So I think it's a whole philosophical problem that we
Speaker 10: don't realize human beings are far more than just you know,
Speaker 10: meat facts that can be medicated. We're souls, And think
Speaker 10: about it, like when you're stressed. When we're stressed, we
Speaker 10: talk to ourselves. If you're a worrier, I wonder if
Speaker 10: this happens, what this happens, what this happens? In change, reaction, anxiety,
Speaker 10: you're talking to yourself, even anger fantasies right here, this
Speaker 10: conflict my boss and I'm gonna say this, and he's
Speaker 10: gonna say that.
Speaker 9: I'm just see you're talking to yourself.
Speaker 10: What if there was another source, a person to talk to,
Speaker 10: you know, I would call it prayer, You call it meditation.
Speaker 10: But instead of talking to yourself when you have a problem,
Speaker 10: what if you could talk to someone who's the ultimate
Speaker 10: source of strength and comfort and wisdom. Well, just say
Speaker 10: at sound smarter, doesn't it. I know all my resources
Speaker 10: talking to myself, and I already know my limited resources.
Speaker 10: If I could have figured this out, I probably would have.
Speaker 10: I need outside wisdom, outside strength. So God says that
Speaker 10: you can cast all your anxieties upon him. You can
Speaker 10: take every thought captive, you can renew your mind, you
Speaker 10: can meditate on things that are good and pure in
Speaker 10: a good rapport, and you can reach out to him
Speaker 10: and say God, I need wisdom and handle the situation.
Speaker 10: I can't control the universe or my mother in law
Speaker 10: or my kids, but I do want you to help
Speaker 10: me control how I'm going to handle it.
Speaker 5: Great stuff, great, great stuff.
Speaker 3: We can continue this topic, I think for multiple weeks
Speaker 3: because there are a lot of people that and each
Speaker 3: and every one of us is one of them. Where
Speaker 3: we have all these expectations, we get stressed out ahead
Speaker 3: of time, we get stressed out during and maybe just
Speaker 3: a deep breath, maybe a conversation, maybe prayer can help
Speaker 3: dramatically change that. Chad, we thank you so much for
