If I could be honest, I wasn't 20 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: a podcaster because I'm like, man, Jess, how this is. 21 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: This is a gift that y'all do to get up 22 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: and and the talk and all of that. I love 23 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: to speak because when I speak, I have this this 24 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: structure that I follow and then I'm going these different places. 25 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: But the podcast has really grown me to hear other 26 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: people's stories, so it's like therapy and real time. And 27 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: from having my sister Raji on Kirk Franklin, Rico Love 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: and then I have some people who are just everyday 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: people that are sharing their healing journeys and just sharing 30 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: where they are. So it's been a fun journey. 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 5: Man. 32 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: So now I can officially say yes, I'm a podcast. 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 5: Hell love it. 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 6: You guys have like a really cool dynamic because I mean, 35 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 6: you're pastor you do mental health and like all these things. Right, 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 6: But y'all know in our community, a lot of times 37 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 6: when you're going through some people like just pray about it. 38 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 6: How do y'all have conversations around that. 39 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 4: It's more than prayer. I think prayer is very essential, 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: but it's the backbone. It's a substratum of everything. But 41 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 4: there has to be practical application because you're human, so 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: that is the spiritual component. But if you don't have friendship, 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: you don't have people that can walk you through the journey, 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 4: then you'll often become lost. And I like to say 45 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 4: people become mystic. They just stay in this spooky vial 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: and uh and Again, that's not to talk about the 47 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 4: church background, because I have a strong church background, but 48 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: having therapists, having people that can actually supply sufficient support 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: really can help change the dynamic of what you're going through. 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: I think that's very important. 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: And UH used to be associated pastor at the Potter House, right, Yes, sir, 52 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: But did you love to go to Florida? 53 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: I didn't know that could happen. They made it sound 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: like you was transferring schools and something you were playing 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 2: one place. 56 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 7: You know that could happen. 57 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 3: I mean, I just the way they do I guess, 58 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: I guess the pothouse the way you know, the way 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 3: they worded it, I'm like, okay, Yeah, I. 60 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: Went there to learn from who I believe to be 61 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 4: the greatest of all times. I think Mishop Jakes is 62 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: the greatest of all times. And I went there to 63 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: learn and there was an opportunity that opened up in Florida, 64 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: and so that's how I ended there. I ended up 65 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: there because he trained me. I was prepared and we 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 4: ended up in Florida. And God's been good to missus 67 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 4: have been there. 68 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: How did that work? 69 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Though? 70 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: Like when you like, like what does the spirit tell you? 71 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Like? 72 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: I want to be. I need you to go, you know, 73 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: lead this congregation, that lead this flock. 74 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Now, like, what is it? 75 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 4: What hits you? When I was in Oklahoma originally, and 76 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: when I was there, I knew that I wasn't going 77 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: to be there forever. And so the opportunity for change 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: didn't start at the Potter's house. I was coaching at 79 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: Oklahoma State University and and pastoring at the same time, 80 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: and so the opportunity to shift came at a good season. 81 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 4: Church was doing fine, my work was doing great, and 82 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: I went to preach for Bishop Jakes. So I had 83 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 4: to sit back and realize, Okay, the things that I 84 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: wanted to see happened in the future career wise and 85 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: ministry wise, came through an opportunity of another individual. There 86 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: wasn't a voice from heaven, a chap that came down 87 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: and said move. It wasn't that. It was a man 88 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: of God looked at me and said, what's your future? 89 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: What do you What do you want to be? What 90 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: do you see happening where you want to go? And 91 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: when I told him that, then it unlocked something for 92 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: me to start looking at. And when I started looking 93 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: at it, I started saying all the insufficiencies, all the 94 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 4: places that needed work, all the places that needed a 95 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 4: model or mentor, and he filled that void. And then 96 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 4: from there it was a challenge, what do you want? 97 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 4: And I had to answer that question and that answer 98 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 4: was move. Wow. 99 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: That's where y'all met, right, yeah? 100 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. We met in Dallas. A friend of mine 101 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: had sent me a video and like, yo, I just 102 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: found your spirit animal. I was like, all right, So 103 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: I started watching his clips. He in a gym, killing 104 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: it in you know, he's a strengthing conditioning code. So 105 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: we got the whole football background from watching how he speaks, 106 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: and I said, yo, I really rock with this dude. 107 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: So I'm say pause. I slid his DMS, but but 108 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: I hit him up and like, yo, brother, I love 109 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: what you're doing man, And we we had at some 110 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: exchange but didn't know that we both moved to Dallas 111 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: during the pandemic at the same time, and slowly, you know, 112 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: started kind of engaging. But I'd engage him to come 113 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: on my tour to Jessere Bro. I had four voices 114 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, we need a five, 115 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: and I could reached out to him. I said, Bro, 116 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: I want you to go on tour. Now here's the 117 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: story about the development of friendship. This brother was not 118 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: having it, Jess. And the more I would text him 119 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: and like, hey man, you know, brother, you know, look 120 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: forward to having your on tour. He would come on 121 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the tour, he would get on stage, do his thing 122 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: and would just sit in the back and wouldn't say anything. 123 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: And I felt, you know, that he needed friendship. But 124 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: I also felt compelled like I just couldn't let it go. 125 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: And I would text him and check in on him, like, 126 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: hey man, I hope you all as well, brother, Just 127 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: checking in, and he would just text back the army, mooji, 128 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: the muscles because he was not And I understood as 129 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: we begin, because it's difficult men, and study shows this. 130 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: Men have a difficult time making friends after thirty five. 131 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: And this is the real reason why a lot of 132 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: men are suffering in silence and suffering in their mental 133 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: health because of the lack of community and the lack 134 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: of friendships there. They're not like women. They don't engage 135 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: and most men don't build friendships beyond their workplace. And 136 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: our friendship started from a challenge of who can lose 137 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: the most weight and get down to you know, get 138 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: down to the lowest body fat and that built the 139 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: friendship that people see that we have today and the 140 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: love that I have for this brother, and I saw 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: it in him. Like I said, Bro, you're one of 142 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: the best to me. And I think when you are 143 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: building friendships, you want to have friendships where somebody can 144 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: see more in you than you see in yourself in 145 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: that current space. 146 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Why were you so guard it, doctor Tuban? 147 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, please tell the world. How tell the world how 148 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: he would leave me on red And it didn't bother 149 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: me because and I want to add this, when you 150 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: have dealt with your rejection or abandonment issues, how a 151 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: person response doesn't trigger you. Yeah, because I didn't know 152 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: what his experience was, but I knew I wanted to 153 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: keep showing up for him. 154 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: Friendship is important to me. It's very essential. And I'm 155 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: too old to start over in certain places. So for me, 156 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 4: I have fresh room, fresh wounds. As it pertains to 157 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 4: mail the male friendships, brothers real strong relationships, and I 158 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 4: had just gotten to the point to where I was 159 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 4: okay without the relationship, and so when this good brother 160 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: reached out to me, he was very persistent. I didn't 161 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: understand him. I didn't understand this process, his makeup. He's 162 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: a therapist, so his mental is really really strong, mind strong, 163 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: but it's more defensive versus just being vulnerable. So I 164 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 4: had a difficult trying to be vulnerable. And so he 165 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: kept pressing and kept pressing and kept pressing. I wasn't 166 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: really interested in that. I was okay. I wasn't. I wasn't. 167 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: I was okay with working out. So I was doing 168 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 4: a challenge. He jumped in on Instagram and said, yo, 169 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: I can I run you. I was like, man, get 170 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: out here with all that. You're too big, you know. 171 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: So that's what happened. So we went into this forty 172 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: day challenge, and then maybe twenty something days within to 173 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: the challenge, he kept coming on. My lives kept coming on, 174 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 4: kept coming on. He said, man, won't you meet me? 175 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 4: Let's box. So that's what happened. I met him at 176 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: the gym somewhere in the twenties of the count and 177 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 4: our friendship started taking off. Now, as it started taking off, 178 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: I was still very very guarded because I was not 179 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: going to get another homemade, another homeboy. I was fine, okay, 180 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: But as we continued to train. We started having therapeutic 181 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: conversations about what's going on in your mind? Why are 182 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 4: you having a hard time dealing with abandonment? Rejection actually happened, 183 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: and then as far as my career speaking, he said, hey, man, 184 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 4: I want you to come on a tour with me. 185 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: I went on the tour, but I still wasn't going 186 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: to get close to all the rest of the guys. 187 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: I had broken through with him just a little bit. 188 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 4: So we go on the tour, We're do our thing, 189 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: and I sit in the back, not talking because I 190 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: don't want to be involved emotionally again. That way. However, 191 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 4: we broke through. He's become a best friend. Over five years. 192 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 4: Now I have a much softer side. I was too hard, 193 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 4: and I think God did an amazing thing by bringing 194 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 4: him into my life. So now I don't have it. 195 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 4: I had what's called toxic masculinity, very toxic. 196 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: And break that down because somebody gonna get it and 197 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: they gonna create their own definition with toxic. But but 198 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: you know what, JT. I don't think it was really toxic. 199 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: I just think it was guarded because we both had 200 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: father wounds. Yeah, and when you've had father wounds, it's 201 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: hard to build mail to male friendships because when you 202 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: have not been fathered well, you're very guarded and you're 203 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: very defensive because there's a part of you that have 204 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: not had a very safe relationship with another man. So 205 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: for another man, and you know, like, you know, I 206 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: bought flowers and you know, I mean, I'm all the things, 207 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: but then the duality of that I'm a lion and 208 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: a lamb, and so he got to see that. But 209 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: I understood it. And it wasn't that I needed a friend. 210 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: I just like, there's just some people that you just 211 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: felt drawn to, and I think that's beautiful. That's a 212 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: great way to put it. 213 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: Lyon and lamb. I was all lyon, no lamb in sight. 214 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: So to actually start experiencing other men that were so 215 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 4: transparent that they could so show you the lamb, that 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 4: took time for me to adjust. So I wasn't going 217 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 4: to express how I felt. Bishop Jakes broke me from that. 218 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 4: He kept saying how do you feel? And I was 219 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 4: sending a strong arm emoji or I would send fire, 220 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: you know, and he says, I'm tired of that. Explain 221 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: to me what you feel. But I didn't have the language. 222 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: I didn't have the language to explain it. That's a 223 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: part of that toxicity as well, because if you can't 224 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: explain it, you throw signs okay. And so it took 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 4: me going through all of the therapy why I rejected 226 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 4: my father, why my father wasn't there, the terrible relationships 227 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: with my parents, the terrible relationships with my brothers and sisters, 228 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 4: all of the things that were wrong with me. I 229 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: started paying attention to the tension because the tension was 230 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 4: causing me to break. So if you don't pay attention 231 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: to the tension, you will pay for attention. And that's 232 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: what actually happened. So because I wasn't paying attention to 233 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 4: the tension, the tension started fracturing me. And not only 234 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 4: did it fracture me, it started fracturing the relationships around me. 235 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 4: And everybody knows what a Fraction's a fracture. It's a 236 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: break that you can't see, all right, it's a hairline fracture, 237 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: but there's a break there. And what ends up happening 238 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 4: is some kind of blow is going to create a 239 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 4: break to become visible to where you're going to have 240 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 4: to either cast it or break it completely so they 241 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: can reset it. And that's what happened to all of 242 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 4: the relationships that I was attached to. 243 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't their fault. It was my fault. 244 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 4: Because I had allowed so much pressure, so much tension, 245 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: to come into my own personal life. It became difficult 246 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 4: for me to converse productively with other people, especially of 247 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 4: the man. 248 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 3: But what about when it's not your fault? Because I 249 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: agree with you, know what you said, doctor j about 250 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: the father woman. But that homeboy woman is real too. Yeah, 251 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: that's a real wom too, because when I love I 252 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: love her. I called you my brother, and then you 253 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: betray me in some way. It's just like damn, it's 254 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: hard to let people in. 255 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 4: I can't control what he does, but I can control 256 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: how I handle it. And that's what happened. I couldn't 257 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: control it. I was covering it, and I needed therapy 258 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: to deal with what happened between the two of us 259 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 4: the previous homie. And I think also to that JG 260 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: and then to what you said sharp like the same 261 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 4: experience that he had was a betrayal of a close friend. 262 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 4: I had the same thing, and it was so difficult 263 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: for me because I saw men as just being I 264 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: wouldn't say just a point of contact, but just almost 265 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: like you know, it's just a homeboard, a homeboy. But 266 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: for me to call your brother, that's it's like, that's 267 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 4: that's a different level of love. It's just like when 268 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: you tell somebody I love you, you know, I mean, that 269 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 4: changes your disposition toward them. That's why I don't throw 270 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 4: out I love you, you know what I mean? 271 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: And so because that's now, that's now a different level 272 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: of expression of my of my feelings towards you. And 273 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: I think for me that betrayal man, I was just like, dude, 274 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: how do you even because when you're in your thirties 275 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: and you start an agent, I felt what he felt like, Man, 276 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: how do you start to build friendship again? Because we 277 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: all know friendship takes time and then now on that 278 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: friendship also requires a level of vulnerability, and I didn't 279 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: want to be vulnerable. 280 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: Like that again. But I think for me, it's like this, 281 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: I had two of the same thing, two opposing things 282 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: happen at the same time. So I get betrayed by 283 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: this one guy that we've been boys for twenty something years. 284 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 4: Then I got this other guy that is trying to 285 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: befriend me, all right, and he is being one hundred 286 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 4: percent open, saying, hey, I don't want anything from you. 287 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 4: I just believe I'm supposed to be here for you, 288 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 4: all right. This is prior to him, and this guy's 289 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: pouring his heart out. But I don't have what I 290 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 4: need to give this guy. So it breaks this guy. 291 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: It breaks him so bad. To her, He's like, you 292 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 4: know what, man, I've given enough. So I got to 293 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: protect me. So when I felt like I was ready, 294 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: once I realized okay, I think I'm better now, I 295 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: tried to go back and repair that relationship and he 296 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 4: didn't receive me the way I thought he should receive me, 297 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: and I went back selfish again. I was like, hey, man, 298 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 4: I came to you. I'm apologizing. But then I realized 299 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: I hurt that guy even though I didn't have the language. 300 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 4: I didn't have everything to give to him, but I 301 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: learned it through him. He was a therapist. He's teaching me. He'sy, 302 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: hey man, you heard him. Now you got to go 303 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 4: through the process and walk that out. That's a part 304 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 4: of me understanding becoming more healthy, getting that toxicity out 305 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: of me, because if I hadn't learned the language. I 306 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: would have been ticked off at this dude said, Man, 307 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 4: I came to you, I tried to I said, I'm sorry. 308 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 4: I told you I didn't have a language. You can't 309 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: forgive me, But that's wrong. I got to give him 310 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: time to process. It is not his fault that I 311 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: didn't have what it took to give him what he needed. 312 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 4: So that's why I said, regardless of what the other 313 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: individual did, you got to fix you. If you don't 314 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 4: fix you, you can't help repair anything. It all starts 315 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 4: with you. You have to own the responsibility of what's 316 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 4: going on with you. 317 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 5: How do you What. 318 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 8: Does that process look like? Because I do the same thing, 319 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 8: I'm in the same boat. Like literally right now I have. 320 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 8: I've been betrayed by a friend at the friend at 321 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 8: the friend and that's fine. I'm getting all the sneaks 322 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 8: out the gud and that's cool, you know, because where 323 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 8: I'm going I can't take everybody, so that's fine. But 324 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 8: even in business, I don't trust nobody. That's that's my problem, 325 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 8: you know. And when somebody called me a sister, the 326 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 8: same thing, you know, I got friends called me sister, 327 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 8: whether it's friends in business, or whatever. You know, if 328 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 8: I call you my sister or my brother. Yeah, and 329 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 8: I feel like you do some somesh that will make 330 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 8: me sighe out of you. It's like, Yo, I don't 331 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 8: I don't know how to look at you. I don't 332 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 8: know how to continue to have you know, a level. 333 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 5: Of loyalty or a level of respect, you know what 334 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 5: I mean, or just even want to be around you. 335 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 5: It just gets weird. 336 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: You know. 337 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: I got a question for you. Yeah, why do you 338 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 4: keep bringing that same type of person into your life 339 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: To even have to ask that question. 340 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 5: I don't know how they get in. They be sneaking in. 341 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: I don't be bringing. 342 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: You know. So I think I think I think we 343 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: all can agree, right, Like you know, me and Shaw 344 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: talk about this all the time, right, I mean, I 345 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: think we can all agree that as we are elevated, 346 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: and particularly when you are elevated in the public's eye, 347 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: it requires Like Jess, I remember when you first started 348 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: right just with the messine, you know what I'm saying, 349 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: when you were just doing your thing. And I think 350 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: what happens is as God has elevated me, it has 351 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: required a level of sagaciousness, right, which is discernment that 352 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: I have to really operate in because now that you 353 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: at this place, everybody wants something. And one of the 354 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: things that Bishop told me, he said, You're going to 355 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: have to get accustomed to disappointing people that want to 356 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: be next to you. And so what I've had to 357 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: really look at him give attention to is why are 358 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: you here? You know, like if he would have never 359 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: responded in the way that was how long was that 360 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: period of time you went silent on me? Three months? 361 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Three months? And I would text him Lauren and no response, 362 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: But it didn't bother me. Char I'll text him sometimes 363 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: like none of that bothers me because I know, But 364 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't go into that. I do. I don't go 365 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: into that because the genuineness of who I am as 366 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: a person is that whether you respond or not, I 367 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: just want you to know that I'm here and that 368 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: your thought of And I think we have too many 369 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: people now because the world has become very transactional, and 370 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: that if we're honest, most individuals' mental health is on edge. 371 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: Most people are just one decision away from moving into 372 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: a psychosis. And I think it just requires another level 373 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: of of of discernment and then also realizing what types 374 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: of people do I need it in this season? You're 375 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: married now, right, so the people that you need in 376 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: your life right now, it's not necessarily that they have 377 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: to be married, but they have to be people that 378 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: have a level of authenticity, level of genuineness and wholeness, 379 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: lacking nothing, meaning that if I don't hear from you, 380 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: if I can't give you nothing, you're still here. 381 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: Yes, he said wholesome. 382 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 4: You're going to have to trust. You're going to have 383 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 4: to start trusting people and understand that a part of 384 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: trust it comes with being broken. I mean, it's that's 385 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: just a part of it. 386 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: But it's not that doctor, because I could, I agree 387 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: with the trust. 388 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 4: Got to be open to the fact that you may 389 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 4: get hurt. So protecting yourself, you're only hurting yourself because 390 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 4: you could be protecting yourself from what's going to actually 391 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 4: heal you. Okay, So you could be the cause of 392 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 4: staying in the same cycle because you won't trust, and 393 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 4: so because you don't trust, you state you stay fractured. Okay, 394 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 4: you got to trust people. That doesn't mean you have 395 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 4: to trust them at the same dimension. You know that 396 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 4: you don't have to trust me to take care of 397 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 4: your kids, you know, but you can do your work 398 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 4: to make sure that. Okay, I'm going to use him 399 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 4: to fix my car. So how many people have how 400 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: many cars have be fixed before? Do your work, do 401 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 4: your due diligence like you do with everybody else, and 402 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 4: then you got to step back and trust the process. 403 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 4: But knowing the process may break down. 404 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 3: Is that the same mindset is like not expecting you 405 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: from other people? 406 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 407 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you I think a good friend of mine, 408 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 4: aching a Odal, told me divorce yourself from the results 409 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: and fall in love with the process. 410 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 7: It's good I didn't done that. 411 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's easy for you to say that until you 412 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 4: start doing so, you're going to always say that. Most 413 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: people say this, He's just said and done. Try it. 414 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: There's going to be lessons that you learn from being broken. 415 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 4: There's going to be lessons that you learned from the 416 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: actual relationship actually formulating. So he talked about the time 417 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: that I didn't respond to him two months. I think 418 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 4: it was I didn't really three three I didn't respond 419 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 4: to him. I didn't respond to him. Because here's the deal. 420 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 4: My answer is the same now, listeners, my answers the 421 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 4: same I didn't have the language. I didn't have the 422 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 4: language for what I was going through. How long were 423 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 4: you going to use that story? But that answer is 424 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 4: not going to keep working for you if you want 425 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: to live your best life. 426 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: But I think also I'm talking about me, but it 427 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: was valid because also you didn't really know what it was, 428 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: and you spelled trust T I m e is I 429 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: used to really spell trust It's time the time I would. 430 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I was okay with him going through his process, 431 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: and I think what broke him was this brother's not 432 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: going He's there because it wasn't contingent upon him responding. 433 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: And I think what most of us, it's always about 434 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: what is the response because we live in such a 435 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: If I text you, most people have anxiety from okay, 436 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: they didn't text back. The job hasn't called yet, you 437 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: know what I mean? And so we we are, we are, 438 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: we are operating with this rapid response. You know, as 439 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: God began to expand me, I didn't realize, like just 440 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: sometimes I'm overwhelmed with text messages and I can't respond. 441 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: And it's not that I'm leaving you on red because 442 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to it it's like I'm 443 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: overwhelmed because it's like, man, I got to process what 444 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: I need to say. Then I'm thinking about this email 445 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: and then my manager's like, hey, can you give me 446 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: this publicist is saying can you send me that? So 447 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: I had to realize is that I need to change 448 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: my position even within myself, and to give myself grace 449 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: and man, I don't even have the words right now, 450 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: and being okay with that, and then being okay with 451 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: being perceived as oh, so you can't respond. 452 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, so you're right. That's that's me to see. 453 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 5: I don't trust you all. Y'all know too much. I'll 454 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 5: be thinking about the other person, like trying to think 455 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 5: for them. You can't. 456 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: It's exhausted. It's exhausted. 457 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be asking both of you all a questions, Right, 458 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 3: can't time being illusion in a relationship? And what I 459 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: mean by that is you could be with something. You 460 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: can know somebody for years and years and years and 461 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 3: years and think you trust them, right, but then they 462 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: be the ones that betray you. But then you might 463 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: meet somebody that you knew for a short period of 464 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: time and you feel more loyalty to that, to that individual. 465 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 4: Ooh, that's a that's that's a loaded question. That's a 466 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 4: loaded question because you can't effectively diagnose that statement without 467 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: hearing from the other individual. What is it that created 468 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 4: distrusting them? What is it that created them to pull 469 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 4: back from you? They may have found something on you 470 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 4: or in you, or with you that caused them to 471 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 4: pull away. So that's hard, that's hard. That's hard to 472 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 4: look at. And then with this new person, is it 473 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 4: a trauma bond? Are you connected to them because you've 474 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 4: broken over there and they were able to supply something 475 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 4: to you. Because the keyword you used was feel feelings 476 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 4: they come and go. You may feel that way right 477 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 4: now in thirty days and in the thirty first day 478 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 4: you feel like you felt with the last person that changed, 479 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: So we can't use that statement. I think at the 480 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: end of the day, when it comes to time, time 481 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: is what it is, whether you want to call it 482 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 4: an illusion or whether you want to call it reality, 483 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: is how you invested. Okay, what am I investing in 484 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 4: the moments of time and with the people that I 485 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 4: believe deserves my time? 486 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: So my question to you is, and I'll ask you 487 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: this question because look at where we are today. Yeah, 488 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: And to your point, shar it's like Lauren and you 489 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: can hop in because I would want to know your 490 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: thoughts and process on how you've navigated this space, because 491 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: there's people that was rocking with me, and I think 492 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: as I begin to do this, it's shifted, and I 493 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: think the disloyalty was also if we're going to keep 494 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: it abuve some level of insecurity within themselves because most people, 495 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: if they're riding with you, most people's fears is that 496 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: they want to be left behind. 497 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 7: A lot of people that if. 498 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: You become what I see the trajective, the trajectory that 499 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: I see of you, and I think that disloyalty comes 500 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: in because it's like, man, they've gotten there and nothing 501 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: has happened. For me. I've seen a lot of that, 502 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: and then I've seen what you're saying where people that 503 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: I've met through the expo that we've been locked in, 504 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because our missions aligned. And 505 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: I also think too, for the public, it's be open 506 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: to levels of friendship shifting because your. 507 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 4: Life is shifting, right, Yeah, that's beautiful. 508 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: Like you have to be open because most people won't change, 509 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: and particularly if your life changed in a major way 510 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: because they're always going to see you how they met 511 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: you and how the world is coming to know you. 512 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: It's challenging for them because in their mind, I still 513 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: see your Lawrence from Dell State. 514 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 7: Yeah. 515 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 6: I think I've been blessed to have people that always 516 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: saw me, sometimes bigger than I saw myself. So as 517 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 6: things are going up for me, like you know, not 518 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 6: everything has changed. But I think the hardest thing I 519 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 6: had to learn was I can't call everybody about everything, 520 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 6: and when people take offense to that, I can't take 521 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 6: it personal. And sometimes I do realize that maybe there's 522 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 6: an insecurity and like you know, people are trying to 523 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 6: like figure out where where they are positioned. 524 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 7: In my life. Now it's like, well, why are you 525 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 7: doing this now? 526 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 6: You didn't do that a year ago when I had 527 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 6: time to do different things, or when I needed to 528 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 6: call you more because at that season in my life 529 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 6: it made more sense. So that has made me think 530 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 6: about different things and different people and like not disassociating fully, 531 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: but just like being very careful about when I bring 532 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 6: those conversations those people into my life and where I 533 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 6: bring them into and what I bring them around, just 534 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 6: because I don't know how sure they are about themselves, 535 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 6: and I don't have time to. 536 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 7: Like, I literally mentally can't. 537 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 6: I'm I told you when you walked in here today 538 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 6: last night with the bet at eight pm.

I got friends that you know, 562 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 6: I can't. I'm not texting back as much in the 563 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 6: group chat, you know, Yeah, but it's a part of it. 564 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 6: I'm lucky though, I do have good people around me 565 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 6: who kind of get it. But I think everybody, as 566 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 6: a human you want to make sure, oh am I 567 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 6: still important to you? 568 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 7: You still love me? Like am I? And that's a 569 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 7: human thing? 570 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: Has that and I'm not And it's not deep, but like, 571 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: does it in some way? You know? Maybe I want 572 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: to say impact your mental health? But it does? Does 573 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: it weigh on you? 574 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 6: It does because you feel guilty. You feel like, am 575 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 6: I leaving people behind? Do I think I'm better than 576 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 6: people like you start second guessing things that you know 577 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 6: are not true about yourself. Like I know how I 578 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 6: was raised, I know what's important to me. I know 579 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 6: what my priorities are and all the things. But when 580 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 6: people you love and people that have been in your 581 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 6: life and seeing you forever feel like I'm competing with 582 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 6: people that are just starting to see you now you 583 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 6: feel a sense of responsibility for that, And for me, 584 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 6: I've had to be like oftentimes I sit and be 585 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 6: like how much of this do I need to be 586 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 6: accountable for? And how much of this I can't I 587 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 6: have no control over? And that's tough. That's really really 588 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 6: tough because a lot of it if you don't have 589 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 6: control over, you can't control, Like literally there's nothing I 590 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 6: can do. So it's nothing that you feel like you're 591 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 6: breaking something that has been like your stability for your 592 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 6: whole life because of a moment that's happening. And then 593 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 6: you second guess that, like, well, if all this stops, 594 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 6: y'all even still gonna love me anymore? Because y'all feel 595 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 6: like I'm being new to y'all and I'm not being new. 596 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 6: I just I can't manage everything at one time, you know. 597 00:29:59,680 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: What I mean? 598 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 7: I mean like that mentally weighs on you a lot. 599 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 4: That is so profound, man, Okay, because anybody that's achieved 600 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 4: anything is going to go through that. And if you 601 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 4: have a good support circle, so commendable for you, and 602 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 4: I would soak in it. I would soak in that 603 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: support circle, and then I would appreciate my support circle 604 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 4: so that my support circle can continue to feed into me. Yeah, 605 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 4: because that other crew is going to always say what 606 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: they feel. They don't even have an under like you said, 607 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 4: they don't even have the words to understand. They don't 608 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 4: even have the motions to understand what you're going through, 609 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 4: how your life is on the rise, and the demand 610 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: for your life to be everywhere. But at the same time, 611 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: now they want you to still do what you used 612 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 4: to do and you can't do it. So you've got 613 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: to feed that circle that's feeding you so you can 614 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 4: constantly stay uplifted, because if you don't, eventually that crew 615 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 4: could possibly turn into that crew if you don't feed 616 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 4: them to make sure they understand what the journey is 617 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 4: like for you. So kudos for you for having the 618 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 4: circle that actually can still feed you what you need 619 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 4: to still feel normal, because as you become more successful, 620 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 4: it seems like shots fire from everywhere and kind of 621 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 4: he and I were talking about it. When you have 622 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 4: to process publicly what you go through what should be privately, 623 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: it becomes so difficult and then that weighs so much 624 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 4: on you mentally, especially for pastors. That's why you see 625 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 4: so many pastors fall or commit suicide because it's difficult 626 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 4: to process publicly. Nobody wants to process public I don't 627 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: care what position you have in the world. 628 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 6: I have a question for you off of that. Recently, 629 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 6: everything that happened with you in a faith city. So 630 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 6: you were there and then they sent out a letter 631 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: that you will no longer be seenior pastor. That was 632 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 6: very public, especially because you know the church. They want 633 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 6: to know what happened. No one knows why that happened. 634 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 6: So two questions, I don't know if you can share 635 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 6: what actually happened, and then second question, you spoke about it. 636 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 6: How was processing that publicly? 637 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 4: What happened? We disagreed, were disagreed in mission. I didn't 638 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 4: do anything wrong, nothing illegal, but we disagreed and the 639 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 4: disagreement didn't allow us to go forward, so that relationship 640 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 4: was severed. Processing it has been difficult because it's public 641 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 4: and it hurts. I love those people. I love those people, 642 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 4: I love him, and trying to move forward is something 643 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 4: you have to do to live. I don't care what 644 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 4: the career is. And if you stay in a fracture, 645 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 4: you're going to break, You're going to crumble. So trying 646 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 4: to move forward with a cast when everyone is already determined, 647 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 4: predetermine what you've done and have absolutely no idea and 648 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 4: no information, no information. That's it's difficult. So trying to 649 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 4: talk to your children, pick your children up and move anywhere, 650 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: no matter what the career is, to get them to 651 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: trust you as a father. Hey, I made the right 652 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 4: decision to pick us up and move us across the 653 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 4: world and then have to turn to figure out how 654 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 4: we're going to make it. The pressure of this was 655 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 4: what it was. Now I got to figure out how 656 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 4: to make it what it is. It's difficult as a husband, 657 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 4: as a provider. Now do I trust in God one 658 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 4: hundred percent? I trust in all the skills that God 659 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 4: has given me, and He has opened up doors that 660 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 4: are just unbelievable for me. So processing it has been 661 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 4: I'm not going to say difficult, but it's been uneasy. 662 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 4: But through it all I still thank God. That's not 663 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 4: that's not a church answer. That's my faith because I 664 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 4: know all things work together for the good. 665 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 2: I wish you was here this weekend because you know 666 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: we got the mental health. 667 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: Expot this weekend. Got called and yeah, my good. 668 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 3: Sister Debbie Brown came up with this, she wanted to 669 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 3: do this panel called Reclaiming Faith Healing from Religious Trauma 670 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 3: and Pastor Call Lynton, doctor Teddy. 671 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: Reeves are on it. 672 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: And I think it was crad I was up here 673 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 2: talking about church. Yes, it was cree right. 674 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 3: It's just like, man, what do you do when when 675 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 3: your trauma comes from your sanctuary, when that hurt comes 676 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 3: from that place, you go for salvation? 677 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: Man. I think one of the things that my father's 678 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: passed in thirty five years walking alongside you know him. Uh. 679 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at church, it's a hospital, 680 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: and it's a hospital that has a lot of six 681 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: people who don't take their meads. And when you have 682 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: people who don't take their meds, you have people who 683 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: don't understand how their behaviors, don't understand how their reaction 684 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: impacts those that are in the hospital as well. So 685 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: it's almost like you in one room and you're trying 686 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: to get some rest because the doctors said you need 687 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: to rest, and you have somebody down here that is 688 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: having a breakdown because they just heard a diagnosis that 689 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: they can't change. And I think the unfortunate thing that 690 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: has happened is that a lot of churches have not 691 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: thought about mental health in the faith conversation. And I say, 692 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: you can't talk faith, you can't talk God, and omit 693 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: mental health. When God made us, he made mind, body, 694 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: and spirit. Mental health is your social it's your emotional 695 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: and physical makeup. It's how we do life. I call 696 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: mental health life in motion. There is nowhere around it. 697 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: And I think now you see in a turn some 698 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: passes are, you know, bringing in mental health professionals. Some 699 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: pastors are bringing in clinicians and different things like that, 700 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: because what I saw growing up is what you speak about. 701 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: I saw people that were embarrassed. I can see right 702 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: now this young girl when we were growing up who 703 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: got pregnant and they bring her before church, and I'm like, 704 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: all right, where's the guy? So you brought the girl 705 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: before church and that she's pregnant, but where's the guy? Right? 706 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: Takes two to tango, right. So now you have this 707 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: young girl who grows up with this level of shame 708 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: and it's trauma because they brought her out before and 709 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: you have a lot of embarrassment. And so I feel 710 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: that churches have focused on saving souls but not restoring minds. Wow, 711 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: you have to restore a person's mind. It's great that 712 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: we're going to get their spirits saved, and you want 713 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: people to you know, go to heaven. But I think 714 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: it's important that we begin helping people on how to 715 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: not just come to the altar and throw their hands 716 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: up and be you know, delivered, but how to walk 717 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: this thing out for their complete healing, because it's one 718 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: thing especially like like let's just take somebody who's dealt 719 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: with molestation, abandonment, rejection, and it's calls these unhealthy things. Yeah, 720 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: I pray for you, lay hands on you, put all 721 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: on you. You greases like greasy like a piece of chicken, 722 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying. So but it's like 723 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: that now this person leaves and there's no support. And 724 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: the reason church hurt hurts so bad because people have 725 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: an expectation that I would be treated better in here 726 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: than I am out there. And it's just unfortunate, you 727 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: know that we you don't have so many people, particularly 728 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: in the black culture. And religious trauma is a real thing, 729 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: is called RTS. Religious traumatic syndrome. It's a real diagnosis 730 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: in the DSM, and most of us are challenged with 731 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: it because we thought we would see God in the 732 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: very people who said, come as you are. Yeah. 733 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, but let's make sure that we're clear. The church 734 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 4: is full of trauma. It is not absent of trauma. 735 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: The very church itself was founded on trauma. Okay, Jesus 736 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 4: being beaten, that's traumatic. Being betrayed prior to being beaten, 737 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 4: that's traumatic. His disciples leaving him, it's traumatic. Okay, All 738 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 4: that is trauma. You die the most horrible death, crown 739 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 4: of thorns, nails in your hands, in your feet, pierced 740 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 4: in the side, bloody and naked. That's trauma. The whole 741 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 4: thing is trauma. The twelve or the eleven that take 742 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 4: off running to go back to doing what they were 743 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 4: doing prior when they say that he's dead, they're dealing 744 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 4: with trauma. They're like, I'm going back fishing. Forget this, 745 00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 4: I can't do this. Jesus comes back. There's so much 746 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 4: trouble with them. They don't believe it, even though Jesus 747 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 4: told them I'm coming back. Trauma change their brain. See 748 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 4: the trauma, that's all trauma. Well, Jesus comes back, boom, 749 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 4: He restores Peter. So there's the restoration that the church 750 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 4: should have. So he restores them. Hey do you love me? Yeah, 751 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 4: fema sheep, you love me, Feed my sheep, you love me, 752 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 4: Feed my sheep. Boom, He restores him. He does his thing. 753 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 4: Jesus gets ready to leave. He say, look y'all go 754 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 4: wait on the power. Wait on the power. And then 755 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 4: they come out. So they get the power. They start 756 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 4: evangelizing the Book of Acts. They're doing airy thing. The 757 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 4: church is built off of that. So it's got an 758 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 4: answer and it's got all these problems. So it's never 759 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 4: going to be a place that you're going to go 760 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 4: and it's absent of trauma or it's absent of the 761 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 4: things that you guys are talking about. I think the 762 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 4: issue is trying to find the fine balance of this 763 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 4: soul and spirit body balance when it comes to how 764 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 4: we're giving that information. You got some churches that believe 765 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 4: that Sunday morning is pure word driven. I'm going to 766 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 4: teach you, I'm going to disciple you spiritually. Then you 767 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 4: have some other churches that are little bit more free 768 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 4: and say hey, we're going to do mental health stuff 769 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 4: and therapy and fitness training on Sunday. There are other 770 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 4: people that don't like that. I ain't come to church 771 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 4: for that. I came to church for Genesis. I ain't 772 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 4: come to church for that, okay. And then you have 773 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 4: some churches that say we're gonna put together small groups 774 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 4: where you can come get this mental health. Then you 775 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 4: got other churches that say, look, we've hired ten therapists 776 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 4: that are here. I think we have to go back 777 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 4: to what I said earlier. You got to own your thing. 778 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 4: Something may have happened at the church, Okay, it's no 779 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 4: different than it happening right here in this company. But 780 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 4: you still got to own your thing. If this station, 781 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 4: a problem happens here, but you all still offer therapy. 782 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 4: It's still up to me as an employee to go 783 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 4: down to h R and say, listen, I need therapy. 784 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,439 Speaker 4: Now I gotta do. I gotta own that now. 785 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 2: I love your hospital analogy. I love everything that y'all saying. 786 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 3: But if you went to a hospital where you were 787 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 3: hurt and practice, you probably wouldn't go back to that. 788 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: Depending yeah, yeah, yeah, it depends though but you but 789 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: me personally, I'm like, I'm not going back. However, I 790 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: would have to see that you are up to par 791 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 1: I would have to go back. 792 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 4: I'm coming in I'm coming in like Superman. I'm coming 793 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 4: back like I'm coming in like Superman. 794 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: Hold on, because you said I wouldn't go back go 795 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: back to that institution, particularly, I wouldn't go back to Yeah, 796 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: but you're still going to another hospital. You don't got 797 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: enough church. They may hurt me over here. 798 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 4: At first Baptist. I'm going a second Baptist. 799 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to third Baptist because after that there's 800 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: too many fat I didn't change. 801 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 4: Think it's very I think that we have to be 802 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 4: careful about what you just said. You're not going back 803 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 4: to that same local entity, but you will continue to 804 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 4: go and see God and build your relationship at another institution. 805 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 4: But you still need to do one thing before you transfer. 806 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 4: Go to therapy. 807 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: Now, when we say go to therapy, JT. Because we 808 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: got some people that's going to say, well, I don't 809 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: believe in therapy. And particularly for us, health care has 810 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: not been on our side. Mental health was not made 811 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: for black folks. It was created for a wealthy white men. 812 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: And so what I tell people is that everyone is 813 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: not going to go to therapy, But there are experiences 814 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: that you can have that can be therapeutic, that can 815 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: encourage you on your journey because therapy, as we talked about, 816 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: it's scary. In fact, therapy causes such a disruption that 817 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: you feel worse after the sessions because they're breaking up stuff. 818 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: They got you unpacking, you know what I'm saying. They 819 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: got you, They got you really thinking about things that 820 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: you have moved into the back of your mind and said, 821 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to deal with that. 822 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: And then and and and and if we're honest, there 823 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: is a pacity of clinicians right now that are not 824 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't think and I tell this to every therapist. 825 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: Every therapist should have a therapist because you cannot take 826 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: and ingest all of this in from other people. You 827 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: have to go somewhere to process there. So if you 828 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: do go to therapy, make sure that you're a therapist, 829 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: not just ethically, but make sure that they are sound 830 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 1: even in their own practice and therapy. Finding a therapist, 831 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: just like dating, ask those questions do you have and 832 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: expertise in dealing with racial trauma? Have you work with 833 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: people who've been molested by the same sex? Like you 834 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: have to ask those questions because the worst thing that 835 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: I hate that I don't like rather is for someone 836 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: to be open up and not closed properly. That's what 837 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: you just said. You go and have surgery and these 838 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: joke who's leave something in you or they don't close 839 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: you up properly. Now it's turning into an infection. Now 840 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: it's turning to gang green. Now all of a sudden, 841 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: we got to move your whole liver because somebody mishandled 842 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: you properly. 843 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 6: I was gonna say, but okay, we're comparing it to 844 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 6: mal practice in the hospital. What I realized about hospitals 845 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 6: is a lot of it is trial and era and 846 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 6: a lot of it is per person. 847 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: Right, That's why it's called practice. 848 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, practice right. So I say that to say, you 849 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 6: can ask your therapists all those questions, but you don't 850 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 6: know until you get with that therapist if they're going 851 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 6: to close you black up properly, and then that makes 852 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 6: people not want to do therapy sometimes after that happens, 853 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 6: So it's like, what do you tell people? 854 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 1: Then, well, therapy, you know, it's a relationship. The effectiveness 855 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: of any therapist is determined by the quality of relationship 856 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 1: that they build with the client. When I'm working with individuals, 857 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,720 Speaker 1: when I was in private practice, it would be about 858 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: four sessions in before I start asking deep questions because 859 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm mapping with them. I'm just talking to them because 860 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: I want them to feel like we're having a conversation. 861 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to go in and all of a sudden, 862 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: it's like, all of a sudden, you know what happened 863 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: to you as a kid? Like wait a minute, right, 864 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: Like you're moving too fast? You know. It's like, you know, 865 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 1: at least you know, talk sweet to me and yeah, listen, 866 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 1: take me to the cheesecase faster something. And so I 867 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: think too, it's a journey. You know. I've been saying 868 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: this since I, you know, have been in this space. 869 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: Healing is a journey, man, It's truly a journey, and 870 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: it may take a few therapists for you to kind 871 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: of work through. And I know that can be emotional exhausting. 872 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: And this is why I'm careful for anybody. Do not 873 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: go in divulging everything. Use wisdom. That is my thing 874 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: when you're going into a clinical session, because I've had 875 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: people come to me and it's like, well, doctor, j 876 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: session turned into me helpen my therapist, you know. And 877 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 1: so you're right, Lauren, it can be very it could 878 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,720 Speaker 1: be very scary, and then too, if you have somebody 879 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: who hasn't been processing. I tell every therapist you can 880 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: only take the client as deep as the work that 881 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 1: you've done internally within yourself, because it could be become 882 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: very pernicious, very dangerous for somebody to open up and 883 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they leave feeling like, man, 884 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: what did I just do? 885 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 5: I just told you my business, and that is. 886 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 4: What I want to add to it. You're gonna be twenty, 887 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 4: you're gonna be twenty five, you're gonna be thirty, you're 888 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 4: gonna be thirty five, you're gonna be forty, you're gonna 889 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 4: be forty five, you're gonna be fifty, and you're gonna 890 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 4: be fifty five. You gonna be sixty and you gotta 891 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 4: be sixty five. At what point are you going to 892 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 4: say I matter enough, Yeah, to express myself. 893 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: M M. 894 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 4: That's good because you're gonna you're going to continue to 895 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 4: get old if you don't die. And do you have 896 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 4: to ask you a question? How has life been working 897 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 4: for me? I'm the one that won't talk. I'm the 898 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 4: one that won't sit down and actually get help, it's 899 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 4: not the therapist's fault, and it's not about fault. It's 900 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 4: about me giving me a try to be better because 901 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 4: I deserve to be better. Yeah, and that process, it 902 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 4: is what it is. It's not cookie cutter. Mine's not 903 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 4: gonna be what Jay's is not gonna be what Charlomagne 904 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,839 Speaker 4: is is. It's gonna be what it takes to get 905 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 4: me to where I need to be. And you got 906 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 4: to ask yourself the question, am I worth what it 907 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 4: takes to get where I need to be? And where 908 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 4: I need to be? It's not where you are, it's 909 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 4: where I need to be. 910 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 3: You got to stop lying to yourself, right Like, at 911 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 3: some point you gotta be honest with who you know 912 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 3: you are because we know each other. Yeah, you know 913 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 3: yourself better than anybody. Got be honest with who you 914 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 3: are and what you're feeling. And I think one of 915 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 3: the hardest things for men to say to other men 916 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 3: and just in general, Yo, that hurt my feelings? 917 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 2: Are you hurt my feeling period? 918 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 4: Period? You know that's a good thing about to be 919 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 4: real hood right here? 920 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 3: I want to brain love hoodies, but that is hardy 921 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 3: the fight, so. 922 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: I would do the promotion for you, good brother, my 923 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: good brother, doctor Joe. I'm gonna let him talk about it, 924 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: but I'm excited because he's had to live this book 925 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: in real time. And I think this book it comes 926 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 1: out nover before before, and it's so powerful. So I 927 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: think it's so powerful because if it's going to be 928 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: a fight to find yourself, you know, you know, we've 929 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: been rocking for years and you know every time I share, 930 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, my story about surviving to suicide attempts, it 931 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 1: was a fight because you know, we talked about when 932 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: even when Twitch passed, it was triggering to me. It's 933 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: a fight to find yourself. Man. 934 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,439 Speaker 4: So this book it's gonna cost you something. It's gonna 935 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,399 Speaker 4: cost you something. That's why when you when we were there, 936 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 4: it was the perfect way for me to just bring 937 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 4: it up. It costs to find you. It costs you, 938 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 4: It costs pride, it costs relationships, and you have to 939 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 4: ask yourself the question, am I willing to pay that 940 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 4: price to find myself? And is it gonna be embarrassing? Probably? 941 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 4: Are there gonna be some things that come up that 942 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 4: you thought would never come up? Probably? But if you 943 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 4: think you're valuable enough to be who you know you're 944 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 4: supposed to be. It's worth the fight because most of 945 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 4: the time, in my life, it's all about what we do. 946 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 4: It's about what you do. What you do is what's 947 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 4: getting you paid, your performance, and so we become so 948 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 4: performance driven. Everything we do is based off performance. And 949 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 4: so just like you just I said earlier, four o'clock 950 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 4: in the morning, eight o'clock at night, that's our lives 951 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 4: because we got to perform. We got to be on 952 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 4: an a game. Every time we get behind a microphone, 953 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. But there's no mic in your private life. 954 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 4: There's no mic with your emotions. There's no mics with 955 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,280 Speaker 4: how you love your mother, your children, you know your spouse, 956 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 4: And you got to figure out how do I fight 957 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 4: to just be me? And if I don't know who 958 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 4: I am, it becomes even harder because I got to 959 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 4: dig through performance to get there. And once you dig 960 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 4: through all of the awards and dig through all of 961 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 4: the accolades, what's there? Who am I? At the core? 962 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 4: And if you can't say who you are without presenting 963 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 4: what you do, it's a very cloudy picture. You have 964 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 4: no idea who you are. And I didn't find out 965 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 4: who I was until I was forty four years old 966 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 4: and I said it on a public stage and other 967 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 4: men said, I can't believe you just did that. And 968 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 4: I cried, what did you say? I don't know who 969 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,959 Speaker 4: I am? And you know what, they said, We've seen 970 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 4: you preach on stages all over the world with thousands 971 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 4: of people. You're all over the place. People are being blessed, 972 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 4: people are buying all your books. And I said, yeah, 973 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,959 Speaker 4: and I don't know who I am. 974 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 3: Doesn't that change all the time. When I started going 975 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 3: to therapy in thirty six, I was the same way. 976 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 3: I was like, damn, I thought I knew who I was, 977 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 3: but I have no idea. But then like the older 978 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 3: I get, Yeah, you evolve the more things change in 979 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 3: your life. You know, you grow as a father, you 980 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 3: grow as a husband, and you just get older and 981 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 3: you just like, man, who am I? 982 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,439 Speaker 4: And it's normal and you have to continue to fight 983 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 4: to find who you are and lean into it that 984 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 4: it's actually okay, that this is a normal fight, and 985 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 4: learn how to fight right. As one of the chapters 986 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 4: in the book, fight right, because we fight wrong, We 987 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 4: fight wrong, we fight through you know, substance abuse, We 988 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 4: fight other people we fight with unhealthy practices, and when 989 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 4: you can learn how to fight right and actually say 990 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 4: healthy things to yourself and to other people, you actually 991 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 4: become a gold mind. Tell you you know what I mean, 992 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 4: and you don't have to have other people to tell 993 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,839 Speaker 4: you that you're valuable. You realize that you really are 994 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 4: an incredible person and that God loves you the way 995 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 4: you are. I think it's incredible thought. 996 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,240 Speaker 2: That was Judge Matthews front. 997 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 3: Is this first chapter why we don't believe what God 998 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 3: says about us? 999 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 4: Well, he loves you, He loves you. And if you 1000 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 4: can get to the point that He actually loves you 1001 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,239 Speaker 4: and you're not waiting on you to say it and 1002 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 4: you to say it, and you to say it, and 1003 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 4: you to say it, then I can emerge from ashes 1004 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 4: Man because I know that He actually loves me. When 1005 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 4: Jesus gets ready to get baptized by John the Baptist, 1006 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 4: what happens. He gets baptized and God says, this is 1007 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 4: my bee love son in whom I'm well pleased. That's 1008 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 4: all he needed to was his father. 1009 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 1: Say I love him, I love him, and that val 1010 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 1: him validated everything, because next thing he does, he goes 1011 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: into the wilderness and the devil was something if you 1012 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: do this, if you do that. If he didn't have 1013 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: to do any of that, because he was already loved 1014 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: prior to going into what he was getting ready to 1015 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: battle for. So we just got to learn that, Hey, 1016 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 1: he loves me like I am, broken, busted, disgusted. That's 1017 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: the foundation of everything. 1018 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 4: He loves me. And if I can start there, man, 1019 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 4: you can rise through anything. But it's all about you 1020 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 4: actually being truthful to yourself and say, you know what, 1021 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 4: I'm gonna come to you like I am because you 1022 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 4: actually love me like I am. 1023 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 2: They'll keep you from having a podcast. 1024 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And I think when you when 1025 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: you embrace that, man, that that love, uh, that there 1026 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: is an assurance that you have within self that you're 1027 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: not waiting for something to happen, because oftentimes we move 1028 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: with God performing a wave. Well, if I do good, 1029 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 1: I can accept this love, and if I do well, 1030 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 1: I can get someone this blessing. And I think that 1031 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 1: chapter is good, man, because basically what you're saying, if 1032 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: you did nothing else beyond just being you, his love 1033 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: is not changing for you. 1034 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 4: Here's the beauty of it, which is when I made 1035 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 4: that statement on stage. I went with him on a 1036 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 4: trip and we had been going around for I think 1037 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,360 Speaker 4: two years, and we had went back around to Columbus, Ohio. 1038 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 4: And so when we go out on stage, we have 1039 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 4: this Hey, you know, we're gonna start this way, We're 1040 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 4: gonna go this way, We're gonna segue it this way. Hey, Joe, 1041 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 4: you take it here. That's kind of how we always 1042 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 4: hit it. So when it got time for me to 1043 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 4: tell this particular story, kind of how we always rotate, 1044 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,439 Speaker 4: I stopped dead in the middle of the story. I said, Man, 1045 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 4: I'm not telling this story no more. And all of 1046 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 4: the guys is looking like it's about eight hundred men 1047 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,760 Speaker 4: in the room, black men. I'm not telling this story 1048 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 4: no more. I said, Man, I'm sorry, and. 1049 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 1: Like j T. 1050 00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 4: Go ahead, He's like JG go on to speak. I said, 1051 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 4: I'm tired of telling this story because I'm having to 1052 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,240 Speaker 4: relive this story every time I tell you this story. 1053 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 4: And so I decided that moment, I said, I'm gonna 1054 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 4: tell y'all a new story. I said, And it's not 1055 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 4: a story that hasn't happened yet. It's the story I 1056 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 4: want to see. And when I said what I wanted 1057 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 4: to see. It wasn't a dry eye in. 1058 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: The room because I was going through the opposite of 1059 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:23,800 Speaker 1: what I was saying. 1060 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 4: That's how I end that book. Write a new story. 1061 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,439 Speaker 4: You want to get healthy mentally, write your story, create 1062 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 4: a new narrative. You don't have to keep replaying the 1063 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 4: same thing that happened to you. And I know it 1064 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 4: was terrible, and I know it costs, and I know 1065 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 4: it hurt. But every time you tell it, you feel 1066 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 4: the costs again, you feel the terror again, you feel 1067 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,359 Speaker 4: the pain again, and it becomes so cyclical. Well, why 1068 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 4: not write what you want? Why not see what you 1069 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 4: want to see? And that's what's going to happen when 1070 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,280 Speaker 4: you fight to find yourself, because you control the narrative 1071 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 4: and you can be who you want to be. You 1072 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 4: can make what you want to make, you can marry 1073 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 4: who you want to marry, you can do what you 1074 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 4: want to do. That's the kind of power that you 1075 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,240 Speaker 4: actually possess if you can wake up to it and realize. 1076 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 3: Was a real preacher you preorder to fight to find yourself, 1077 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 3: moving from uncertain to unstoppable right now to be in 1078 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 3: bookstores November fourth, This was a powerful conversation to have 1079 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 3: on World Mental Health Day. 1080 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 1: Man.

You know 1097 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 1: what I mean. 1098 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 4: Let me say this please.
