1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six on demand. Mark, Welcome 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: to the Jesus Christ Show. Good morning, Hi, we only 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: have a couple of minutes here. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 2: I know this is off the wall question, but you know, 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: I have a environment problem with spurls and rabbits and things, 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: and I wonder if the Bible says anything about poisoning 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: putting poison out for animals. I know the Bible says 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: take care of the animals, but is it bad to 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 2: get rid of them with poisons and going them. 10 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: You have every right to defend your property and your 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: home from disease and from problems. But what I want 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: to say on top of that is when you poison 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: an animal, and squirrels aren't particularly nasty with with disease 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: the way other rodents like a rat, for instance, So 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: they're destructive. They're destructive, and they really The first thing 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: you want to do is you want to try sanitation 17 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: and property maintenance. You want to go through and make 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: sure you don't have any high protein things laying around, 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: dog food, laying around cat food, laying around things like 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: that that are going to attract them. There's ways we 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: feed birds and we got birds, yes, bird seed is 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: another one that will will attract them, and this these 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: all become problems that lure them in. When you poison 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: an animal like that, because they are, you know, in 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: involved with other predators. You could end up killing multiple 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: animals by poisoning a squirrel, right, and that becomes a 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: problem to just the the the ecological line of that animal. 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: So I prefer that you look for as many methods 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: as you can to sanitize your direct area first, or 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: methods that discourage them from being around. But if they're 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: if you have to go to other methods, then hire 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: somebody who's a professional who looks to make the least 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: amount of damage to that animal and others around, because 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: otherwise you just to expedite the process, you start really 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: causing havoc in your environs, and that's not really fair. 36 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: So you're called to be a good steward of all 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: things in scripture, meaning animals and the planet and everything 38 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: around you, not in the political hug atry sense, but 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: in the very real this is the resources that you 40 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: have at hand sense, and animals fall into that. And 41 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: just be careful when you're doing that. Don't do it 42 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: to get it done quickly. There's ways to even catch 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: them and get rid of them and things like that. 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: But just first and foremost, make sure that you're not 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: causing more damage than you're doing. Good Gigi, Welcome to 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: the Jesus Christ Show. 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: Oh for the else him two seconds. 48 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: Hi, Hello there. 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 4: I am a primary care physician. 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: Young lady came to me speaking abortion. I, of course 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: don't do abortion by trade, and I refer the patient 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 5: and the physical after referring beings that my staff has 53 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 5: to go on the computer and fill out the referral forms. 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 3: And click the button and send it. 55 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: Myself had significant problems doing that, and she approached me, 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: and I consoled and well, you finally get it. 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: But I want to know how you would. 58 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 6: Have approached it. 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: Well, are you a Christian only facility? No, here's the 60 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: rough part. When it comes to abortion, it's abhorrent. It 61 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: is a vulgar display in many ways, and to get 62 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: into the detail of what's taking place would make most 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: people lose their breakfast. However, I assure you that everybody 64 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: has made it a political issue, which is to me 65 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: almost equally as vulgar, because what gets lost on both 66 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: sides is the fact that there is no one unless 67 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: there's some bizarre twisted in an individual. There is no 68 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: one on either side that wants to see a baby die. 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: No one. The confusion comes because there are What really 70 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: sets the two sides apart is the definition of when 71 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: it's a baby. So, but no one's setting out to 72 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: kill babies, and I that's an ugly thought to think 73 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: that that's what people are really doing. They're not. It's 74 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: just the definition of when it's a baby. So science 75 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: says something different than theology. Yet as a scientist, you're 76 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: there representing the laws of the land and medicine to 77 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: take care of your patients. The law of the land 78 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: currently says that under certain circumstances, during certain times of 79 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: the pregnancy, that to abort that pregnancy is okay. If 80 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: you're in a public facility, your job is to give 81 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: them the information they need to make the best decisions 82 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: they can. But the decision is not on you, it's 83 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: on the individual. Just like in anything, your job is 84 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: to give them the best information. But the patient can 85 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: say no, I don't want to take that pill, or no, 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to follow up. They can even tell 87 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: you that they don't want you to resuscitate them right, correct, 88 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: And you could say that that's against God's will because 89 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: now you're allowing them to make a decision to not 90 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: live correct. So there's a lot of weight on you 91 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: as a physician and in the nursing community as well, 92 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: that those that are in the medical profession to give 93 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: the best and that's what you're called to do. It's 94 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: not a point of preaching. Now. If you feel that 95 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity and you want to make sure that 96 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: they have the best information on both sides, that's fine. 97 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: But as far as allowing somebody in the United States 98 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: to make that decision, there are laws that protect them 99 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: to be able to do so. And if you're going 100 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: to be a physician in a public in the public arena, 101 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: they are going to be allowed to do that. 102 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 6: So this is a private medical office, but not exclusively 103 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 6: a Christian office, And we treat people of faith or not. 104 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 6: And my staff is a believer. 105 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 5: And so what would you specifically say to. 106 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: The believer, Well, if they don't, if they don't feel 107 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: comfortable with doing that, there might be a way of 108 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: around that for you to allow someone else to or 109 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: things of that nature. However, there's a point where if 110 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: you're going to be in that industry and it is 111 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: in the United States and it is legal, then there's 112 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: going to be issues. And she can even or he 113 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: can even make a claim and say, hey, as a 114 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: person of faith, this upsets me and I don't want 115 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: to be a part of it. And that's fair to 116 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: a certain degree, but there's a point where if the 117 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: laws are with the laws are, and if you don't 118 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: want to participate in that, then you know, if you 119 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: had a Jehovah's witness in there didn't believe in blood transfusions, 120 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: now that becomes an issue, and that starts to infringe 121 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: on the individual's right who has a legal right to 122 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: get a blood transfusion. They're going, well, I don't want 123 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: to fill out the paperwork or I don't want to 124 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: do this, and that becomes a little sticky. So if 125 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: there are ways around it that could be done tactfully 126 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: and does not impede on the legal rights and the 127 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: individual rights of the person wanting whatever treat meant that 128 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: is legal, then you can adapt to those. But you 129 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: can't just halt the system based on your faith, because 130 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: in that process, you're taking away the rights of an 131 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: individual that is legal in the United States, and that 132 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: that becomes a problem as well to those that want 133 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: to choose that. 134 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: So my comment to myself was that I'm also a believer, 135 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: and but that one I would not have performed the 136 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: abortion myself. Good, But two, I it's not in my. 137 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 7: Scope of service either. 138 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: I'm not an over but even if I was, when 139 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: I would be an obj in that would not perform abortions. 140 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: But if I were an ob Juan who is whose 141 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: scope of service includes abortion, I would refer the patient 142 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: to a colleague of mind. 143 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 6: And because people do house. 144 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 3: The right to make decisions, whether right or wrong in 145 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: our eyes, in my eyes, but if I am able 146 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: to comply with your wishes, then it is my job 147 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: to point them to someone else who can work with them. 148 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 6: And that was my comfo to my staff. 149 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: Do you have any need to add to that. 150 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: No, I think that's a very honest way of approaching it, 151 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: because if you start becoming the Christian police, it becomes problematic. 152 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: Now let's say you're a checker at a grocery store 153 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: and now you're looking at twinkies and ho hos, and 154 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: the person in front of you is overweight, and you 155 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: start going well, I'm not going to sell this to 156 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: you because you're obviously abusing it or any of those 157 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: that you start policing everybody's option. And if the freedoms 158 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: exist in the United States, you have to allow that. Now, 159 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: you don't have to do it yourself in that sense, 160 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: but your practice has to have somebody that is able 161 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: to write that referral or to do that. Otherwise it 162 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: stops being a practice and a medical practice and starts 163 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: being a religious practice, which becomes a problem. And I 164 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: think that your consult was very fair and honest and 165 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: looking at making sure everybody's taken care of, and I 166 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: think that was the right way to go about it. 167 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: Thank you, You're welcome, and thank you for what you do. 168 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: It's a very important thing that you do it. And 169 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: I know that your faith ties into it and you're 170 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: praying for people and you're being there, and that makes 171 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: you even more important out there as a physician. To 172 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: have the balance between your scientific mind and your spiritual 173 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: sense as well. I think is a very important part 174 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: of the medical industry. This is an incredibly difficult subject, 175 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: but I really want people to hear and to be 176 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: left with the thought that nobody wants to kill babies. 177 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Nobody does. I know that's the easier way to think 178 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: about it and to look at it's not about that. 179 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: It's the definition of when they see a baby, and 180 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: it may be different than yours, and that's part of 181 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: the fight. Part of the fight is to get science 182 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: to see that. And as they see that, then that 183 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: will change. But as if the majority of doctors see 184 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: that as tissue and not yet a baby, then it 185 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: won't matter what you do and or say. That's where 186 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: it will change. But nobody's going around smiling at taking 187 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: the life of a child. Nobody wants that. No one, 188 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: no matter how hardcore they are on either side. It's 189 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 1: a matter of the definition of when it's a child. 190 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: There are a lot of decisions that are tough to 191 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: make as a believer in this world. And you're to 192 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: be in the world but not of the world, and 193 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: that means that you are to separate yourself, but you 194 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: still have to interact with it in a way that 195 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: is productive. It means something. Maybe you've heard the term 196 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: so spiritually minded, you know, earthly good, and if you 197 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: get to a place where everything is so spiritual that 198 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: you shut down existing and connecting as a human being. 199 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Then it's gone, it's done. Then you might as well 200 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: just be in heaven, because what happens here is God 201 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: puts you here for a reason. It's to exist and 202 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: interact with those other humans. To be an example in 203 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: life as to how one should live. Doesn't mean you're 204 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: always going to get it right, doesn't mean you're not 205 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: going to make mistakes. But this constant concept that as 206 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: a Christian you're just supposed to rebel against everything rather 207 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: than leading by an example, is not the focus of 208 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: your purpose here. And that may sound strange, but I 209 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: will tell you that when it comes to things as 210 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: weighty as abortion and that topic, and I know that 211 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: regardless of which side you land on, I know I 212 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: can hear you tighten up when I even use a word, 213 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: and automatically your brain switches over to that political view 214 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: that you have and not about what's really taking place. 215 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: God sees that child at the moment of conception, but 216 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: science doesn't yet. And I realize that those things can 217 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: be frustrating. But I also realize that the same people 218 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: that would put themselves across the pathway of an abortion 219 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: clinic in the name of God won't do the same 220 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: thing across the threshold of a false church or a 221 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: pastor who is lying or fleecing his flock, And that 222 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: to me is strange as well. And that shows me 223 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: that there is a political bent here that is beyond 224 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: the spiritual and to find that balance and that understanding 225 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: as to why you believe what you believe and what 226 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: you're willing to do for your faith when God himself says, 227 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: fear not those that can kill the flesh, but he 228 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: who can kill the spirit. Justin Welcome to the Jesus 229 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: Christ Show. 230 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 7: Hi, Jesus. I had a question about right after the 231 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 7: ability to become saved and accept Jesus as their personal favor, 232 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 7: like doing that immediately after resurrection and stuff. 233 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, what are you getting at there? 234 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 7: Justin Okay, I'm just asking, like in South America and 235 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 7: in the America is like, how does are those people 236 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 7: go into hell because they didn't have a chance to. 237 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Oh, you mean, if they didn't if they didn't hear 238 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: the name of Jesus or the consonants and the vowels 239 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: that make Jesus. Yeah, Okay, that's an excellent question. Romans 240 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Won Romans Chapter one, starting in verse eighteen is a 241 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: really good place to go when it comes to that question, 242 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: because it explains the difference between special revelation, which is 243 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: scripture or somebody coming and knocking on their door or 244 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: hut or whatever it may be and saying, hi, I'm 245 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: a missionary and you need to know Jesus. Well, that's special. 246 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: That's a very specific revelation, but there's also general revelation. 247 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: As God says in Romans chapter one, verse eighteen, it says, 248 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against 249 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth 250 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: and unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is 251 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: evident within them. For God made it evident to them. 252 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: For since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, 253 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: his eternal power, and his divine nature have been clearly seen, 254 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: being understood through what has been made, so that they 255 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: are without excuse. Really, what it's saying, there is since 256 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: the beginning of time that God's attributes, the invisible things 257 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: of God can be known by creation, So really there 258 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: is no excuse. It's not about whether somebody comes to 259 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: your door and tells you about Jesus. It's knowing God 260 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: to the best of your ability and the circumstances you are. 261 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: In the same way, if somebody had a mental deficiency 262 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: or a child and Heaven forbid, but their life is taken, 263 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: then they are accountable for what they can know or 264 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: what they did know. It's not about ignorance. That's not 265 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: what Heaven's about. That's not what salvation's about. It's not 266 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: about ignorance. It's about acceptance or rejection of the truth. 267 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: So in Romans, it's talking about that that truth can 268 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: be known by looking at God's creation or what some 269 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: people call nature, looking at those things and seeing and 270 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: that it's imprinted on your heart to know and to 271 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: seek God. And that's enough in those circumstances. Sarah, Welcome 272 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: to Jesus Christ Show. 273 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 8: Emilye. Thanks for taking my call. This is the first 274 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 8: time I listened to your show, and I like the 275 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 8: topics and I like the advice and support that you've 276 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 8: given this morning. Well, welcome a Christian and I believe 277 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 8: in God and I have to a struggle eight this morning, 278 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 8: though I have a question is that is something that 279 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 8: I'm struggling with at work. I thought I would be 280 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 8: bold and calling. 281 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: In Okay, so what's going on? 282 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 8: So in my I left the job that I was 283 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 8: in for fourteen years because it was like overwhelming with 284 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 8: task and completing task right, it was managerial role. So 285 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 8: now I found myself in a similar role. I was 286 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 8: promoted and it was just like my struggle are I 287 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 8: have deadlines to complete things in front of the most parts, 288 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 8: I can complete them, but it's like I usually have 289 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 8: like twenty things I have to do one time, and 290 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 8: it's very hard to complete task timely. And I know 291 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 8: if I just focus on one thing, you get one 292 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 8: thing done at a time, then that's how I get 293 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 8: through it. But it just seems like I'm always working 294 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 8: struggling to get current. Does that make sense? 295 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: Well, sure, don't you say that that at work you 296 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: have there's a multitude of tasks that all need to 297 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: be done at the same time. Now does that mean 298 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: that they all need to be completed at the same 299 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: time or you say in one day you have a 300 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: bunch of tasks and they all need. 301 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 8: To be done in one day. There's a bunch of 302 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 8: tasks to be completed, requests from people, managers, internal, external, 303 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 8: So it's just you know, the time mantement. I think 304 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 8: that's my biggest struggle. 305 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: Where do you think that time is going? 306 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: If? 307 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: If if time seems to be going out the window, 308 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: where do you think it goes? 309 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 8: No, I'm not sure how to measure that, because it's 310 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 8: like when I'm at working stuff and working, I'm not 311 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 8: you know, just visiting or you know, doing random stuff. 312 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 8: I'm actually working. But I think in a way I'm 313 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 8: too trying to measure. Okay, do I need help with 314 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 8: my desk? You know, if it's too much? 315 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's a that's a legitimate question, which is why 316 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: I ask about where you think your time is going. 317 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: If there's there is such thing as too much work, 318 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: I know that there are bosses that would say differently, 319 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: or companies that would go, no, you can, you can 320 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: always do more work. And I'm not a huge fan 321 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: of that. There's a time and a place on as 322 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: to where you would break, where you just have only 323 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: enough to give. There were times where I walked away 324 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: and rested. There are times where I would leave a 325 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: city and people would say, well, aren't you going to 326 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: do X, Y and Z, And I'd say no, I'm 327 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm done here and I'm moving on to somewhere else. 328 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Otherwise there's always something around the corner. If you think 329 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: it's a legitimate amount of work and you should be 330 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: able to do it, then you need to find a 331 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: triage system of sorts to tackle certain things. I would 332 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: gather that out of every task or group of tasks 333 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: that you have, there is one task that seems to 334 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: be more daunting than the rest, or maybe you know 335 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: less about it. And usually when you're when you don't 336 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: feel confident or strong about a particular task is when 337 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: it slows you down because you don't want to do 338 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: it wrong, you don't want to do it incorrectly, and 339 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: so you're you kind of put it off or go 340 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: at it very slowly. So you could see if there's 341 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: any group of tasks there's one in particular that seems 342 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: to weigh you down or that you are intimidated by, 343 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: and put that at the top of the list to finish, 344 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: take care of that, ask questions, do what you need 345 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: to do, but always creating a triage as the type 346 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: of work, what what's going to be simple to do, 347 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: what's going to take time, or what you need to 348 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: learn to do before you can complete it. Never never 349 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: be afraid of asking questions. If you're at a place 350 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: where they're they don't like you asking questions, well, that's 351 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: not a great place. 352 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 8: What I pretty confidence and I asked questions. I need 353 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 8: to understand what I'm dam if I do it. So 354 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 8: it's not I don't think it's got to struggle with that. 355 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 8: It's just you know, prioritizing. Like you had said, the 356 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 8: biggest thing is it's usually a huge task that's involved, 357 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 8: so to work on that. 358 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 3: But I just. 359 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 8: It's just I noticed this in my other position that 360 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 8: it was just like a gosh, I got all those 361 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 8: workload and then when they asked for help, there wasn't 362 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 8: a help avolable. And I said, you know, I can't 363 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 8: do this anymore. You know, I can't work weekends my kids, 364 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 8: you know, the evening. Until I left the job that 365 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 8: I was on very good money. And it's goodness hearing 366 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 8: and it's very scary. 367 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: Well, the workplace is changing and they're expecting more of people, 368 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: and they're not really necessarily caring about the family unit 369 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: the same way. They figure they will always find somebody 370 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: who will give up whatever to do the task. And 371 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. I will tell you this that if it's 372 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: if there's not one particular task that is daunting. There's 373 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: not one particular task that you feel you don't understand 374 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: and it's weighing you down. Then you started the simplest first, 375 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: and you cross things off your list. There's nothing more 376 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: refreshing than feeling like you've gotten you had success on 377 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: some things, and you reverse the process, get the small 378 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: ones done quickly, and then you have more time on 379 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: the large ones. It's it's common sense in so many ways. 380 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: If there's a blockage, it's you. 381 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 8: There is a purposely, like what am I doing? Am 382 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 8: I personally creating this? 383 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: You know? 384 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 8: If I have a thinking with previous job of my 385 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 8: purposely from now creating this because I don't know if 386 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: if I can't focus and I'm creating twenty five tasks. 387 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: During Do people ever refer to you as a perfectionist, 388 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: those that are close to you, Yes, okay, so your 389 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: particular in the way you like things done. 390 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's still much finance and accounting, so I guess 391 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 8: you know, some ways hard to have to be, you know. 392 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: So the consequences are large. You're dealing with numbers and 393 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: things that actually tied to real money. Yeah, okay, so 394 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: that that can be intimidating onto itself, regardless of the 395 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: size of the task at hand, And of course you 396 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: need to be thorough. But sometimes there is paralysis by perfection. 397 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: You the concern to get everything done in such a 398 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: way that you get nothing done, so afraid of doing 399 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: things wrong that you don't want to do anything. I 400 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: think these are all places where you can you can 401 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: kind of poke around and check yourself and see if 402 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: they're what's holding you up. I would also recommend you 403 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: not that you are going to find fun in doing 404 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: this auditing for somebody who deals with numbers. But audit 405 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: your time. Write a list down, keep it next to you, 406 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: and audit your time, your whole day, what time, and 407 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: be very honest and no one has to see it 408 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: but you, And be very honest and see where your 409 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: time goes. If people are coming in and talking to 410 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: you too long at the office, or people are asking 411 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: you advice for their stuff, or you're not getting enough 412 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: time to do your own work, if anyone else has 413 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: you assisting them in their own position or their own stuff. 414 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: All of these things, as little as they may be 415 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: throughout the day, can actually take big chunks out of 416 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: what you're trying to process. So if you keep a 417 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: kind of timeline on one half what you need to 418 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: get done, on the other half, what you're getting done 419 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: and what's going on throughout the day, I think you'll 420 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: be surprised as to where your time goes. And once 421 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: you see that, once you see where the time is 422 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: actually going, you can troubleshoot and see how you can 423 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: use your time better. 424 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 8: That's very kind. I'm going to try that desperately. 425 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so try that first, and you're at least going 426 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: to see where there might be Oh my goodness. You know, 427 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: five different people came in today and had me ask 428 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: them for help on their own projects. Next time, I 429 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: need to say no until I get to this point 430 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: in my list or whatever it might be. And I 431 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: think you'd be surprised. It's always the little things. People. 432 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: People don't lose money throughout the day because they buy 433 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: yachts on accident. Oh, I was going to the grocery 434 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: store and I bought a yacht, and now my bank 435 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: account's broke, you know, completely emptied. What happens is you 436 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and you buy the necessities, 437 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: and then you wait in line and you go, I 438 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: might want to peck a gum. Yeah, I'll get a 439 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: peck of gum. And then you go, oh gosh, that 440 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: candy bar looks good and it was a rough day 441 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: and I probably deserve it. And then you get that, 442 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: and then you're leaving and you're going, oh, well, you 443 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: know what, I'll buy a newspaper. Yeah, I haven't sat 444 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: down and watched read a newspaper in a long time. 445 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: And but you start going through all these things in 446 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: nickel and dime yourself to death, and it's no different 447 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: with the commodity of time. You're constantly nickel and diming 448 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: yourself thinking oh, well, yes, I don't want to say 449 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: no to them, or I don't want to say no 450 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: to that. But your first priority is going to be 451 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: the task, the list, and that task that's been imparted 452 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: to you first. So audit yourself, write it down, do 453 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: it for at least one day, but maybe two would 454 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: be better, and see if there's any patterns. 455 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 8: But you know, you're saying that it makes sense because 456 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 8: there are a lot of people like it's need for knowledge, 457 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 8: like how do you approach joking? And I think because 458 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 8: some of the people that I've worked with like I 459 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 8: would just say, Okay, what is the problem I really 460 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 8: have to do and I can fix things. I'll really 461 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 8: get a fixing thing. And I think because people know that, 462 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 8: they'll say, okay, this is a problem. So that comes 463 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 8: to me for advice to fix things, and I know 464 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 8: my time gets taken for okay, go do this or 465 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 8: I would do that kind of thing, and I just 466 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 8: need to pull back. But I'm definitely audit myself and 467 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 8: write it down and just kind of learn to say 468 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 8: probably know more and pull back and then focus on 469 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 8: my job. 470 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: At hare and you end up doing everybody else's work. 471 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: When you're good at everything like that, or you're you 472 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: feel comfortable in a lot of different fields or very 473 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: good at your own, people will seek you out. And 474 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: that's a wonderful thing. It's both flattering and it's part 475 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: of the system and it keeps the system running. But 476 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: you can't do it at the expense of what you 477 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: have to do. So once you find out where it's going, 478 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: if you find that that's a pattern and a lot 479 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 1: of people come and ask you questions, great, then you 480 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: can set up something and say, hey, listen, the last 481 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: hour of every workday is I'm going to take questions. 482 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm finding I'm not getting my work done, So if 483 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: you would like to come back at this time, I'd 484 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: love to go over that with you, because I should 485 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: be caught up by then. Whatever it is, you can 486 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: even schedule that and file that in, but you have 487 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: to see it as an actual time drain. And now 488 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: that's one of your tasks, is helping others in that way. 489 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: If it's just throughout the day, you'll never get anything done. 490 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: There has to be a point where you say, I'm sorry, 491 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: I have a bunch of products, i have to do, 492 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: a projects I have to do, and i'd love to 493 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: help out. Let's do it at and you schedule them in. 494 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: Make it a part of that system. Audit yourself, write 495 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: it down on paper, see where your time is going. 496 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: And I know by listening to how you think and 497 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: the way you ask the question, you will correct the 498 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: problem just by seeing it on paper. Every generation looks 499 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: at their life and says it's getting more complicated, and 500 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: every generation would be correct to a certain degree. There 501 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: are new things coming your way every moment of every day, 502 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: and you're bombarded with stimulation more than any other generation. 503 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: With mobile accessibility to the entire world, mobile accessibility to 504 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: your job. There was a time where you came home 505 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: from work and you spend time with your family. And 506 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: nowadays you come home from work, but you're still tethered 507 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: to a mobile device, whether it be your phone, whether 508 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: it be your tablet or even a laptop. You're always 509 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: around a portal to your boss, to friends, to family, 510 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: whoever might need you. Right that moment. Used to make 511 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: a phone call and then if you couldn't get the person, 512 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: it have to wait. But the world is in a speed, 513 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: a little speed location right now. That is all about 514 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: getting it done and getting it done now, regardless the 515 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: feelings may be, well, family first and you got to 516 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: take care of this, and you got to take care 517 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: of that. But really it's not how it's structured anymore. 518 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: It's structured. If something needs to be done with work, 519 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: it needs to be done now. Competition is different. Life 520 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: moves at a different speed, and in that process it 521 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: can be very overwhelming and taxing on certain types of brains. 522 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: There's just people that move at certain speeds. This is 523 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: how they do things, This is how they do them right, 524 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: And in that process you can feel like you're being swallowed. 525 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: But I assure you there is a way to at 526 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:08,239 Speaker 1: least calculate what your skills are and what you can 527 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: and should be doing at any given time and apply them. 528 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: And then after that point you can tip your hat 529 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: and say this, this is what I have, this is 530 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: my ability, and if they don't like it, you can 531 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: move on. But if you're like any other race, if 532 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: you feel you can't run at the speeds that are needed, 533 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: then downsize find a speed that you can, because you 534 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: will always be best running at a speed that suits you. 535 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: But that must be balanced with growth as well, and 536 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: looking inwardly and saying, okay, am I learning a skill 537 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: or is this pushing me into another direction to get 538 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: better at something else or to expand myself? And if 539 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: that is the yes answer, then you need to stick 540 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: with it. But if not, you move on and you 541 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: find proper speed until next week, remember these words. I 542 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: am with you always. KFI A M six forty on 543 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: demand
