00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: he had a restaurant in Houston, where I'm originally from.

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,080

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: must be the food is probably running through our family's

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: veins at this point we have eaten then for twenty years.

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: We love it. Oh my goodness, I love you for

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: saying that, because guess what, I'm a fan. Now let's

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: get back to why I really brought you on this

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: showing him well, you took the time to come on

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and the show to promote another great project, movie project

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: that you involved in. By the from the Kendrick Brothers. Correct, Um,

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: this movie the title overcomer. Now you played the principle.

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: I saw the movie so we could talk about it.

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I won't talk in much detail because it's the movie.

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: It's a two hour movie, and I'm recommending everybody to

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: go see it. And it was there was three times.

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: I will admit I'm an emotional guy when it comes

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: to these type of movies. There was three points in

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: the movie. I will admit I started tearing up. And

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: she was at the lake and she found herself after

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you delivered that pros session with her, you know, and

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: told her her values, and she was sitting it in

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: the water was running by, and you know, she you

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: could tell she was being spiritually enhanced. And that that

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: that that that got me right there, that moment right there,

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: because that's what these movies. I'm proud of you for admitting.

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you for admitting your emotionalism, sir. Okay,

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: if you didn't get to the yet. Now Okay, Now,

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: the thing about it is is that because I'm gonna tell

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the third set, but we're gonna talk about so people

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: are gonna understand why why am I inspired by this move?

62
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Why am I being motivated by this movie? And why

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: am I recommending this move? Tell us a little bit

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: about the move from your perspective and why it's such

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: a great movie. Absolutely, Well, you know what I love

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: about the Kendrick brothers. Um. I was about to say,

67
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: they're filmmaking, but it really is ministry. That's what I

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: love about it is that you're not just going to

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: be entertained. You're not just gonna have technical excellence. But

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen with Courageous and then with Our

71
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Room Facing the Giants, and now with overcom Er that

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: it's ministry. And so it is an unapologetic gospel film,

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: just like The War Room was. And um. The premise

74
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: of the film is that there are several characters, one

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: main character named Hannah, She's a fifteen year old girl,

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: who are all going through their own bits identity crisis

77
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: and um, they all sort of come to this reality

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: that their significance has been illegitimately tied to something like

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: success or career or um. In Hannah's case, he know,

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: he's a teenager, who of us aren't trying to find

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: ourselves we were te you know. And then it's compounded

82
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: by the fact that she's been kind of left my parents,

83
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: she's feel displaced in her life, and she's really trying

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: to navigate through all of that. And so in a

85
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: very emotional way, all of their stories get connected and

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: tied together, and they learned that you better have your significance,

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: like you said earlier in this program, you better have

88
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: a tie to something that does not change, because everything

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: else can be taken away from you. All the external

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: stuff like accolades or affirmation or success or you know,

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff that's all that's even your health,

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: can be pulled away from you. And so none of

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: those things are wrong, but if your significance is tied

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: to them, you'll find yourself, you know, on constant peaks

95
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: and valleys throughout life. You know the thing about when

96
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: I been doing money making conversation, I get guess like

97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: but still on the show. And she's one of the

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: stars of the movie Overcomer, which is uh from the

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Kinchuck Brothers and the worst faith based It really gets

100
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: a bad turn of a bad terminology because people makes

101
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: decisions of oh, I'm going to the movie. They're just

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: praying the whole time. It's almost like a musical people,

103
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: they're thinking the musical, you're hearing people sing from the

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: beginning and to the end. It's just it's just it's

105
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: another form of entertainment. And you know, and and and

106
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: having a faith based movie like this and you participate

107
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: in the war room, which it was hugely successful. I

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: remember that that made headlines across the country that there's

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: an audience out there that wants to see these type

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: of movies. Who want to who who are not who

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: are not tied into Marvel, who's not tied into sci fi,

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: who's not tied in the R rated. They want a

113
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: movie they can take their family, they can walk in

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: there and they feel like they've walked out of that

115
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: would be nourished, their their spirit has been fed. And

116
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: that's what I felt I got when I watched this

117
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: movie this morning. Overcome m hmm, absolutely, and I agree

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: with you. I feel like in times past, even just

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: a decade ago, any movie that was labeled faith based films,

120
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: even those of us who have faith, who are who

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: are believers in Jesus, we would run from the filth

122
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: because there was an expectation that the quality was gonna

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: be low, the story was gonna be corny, so we

124
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: weren't really interested in taking especially not taking friends because

125
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: we were embarrassed. But now that script has changed. Um,

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: there are faith based films being made that are unapologetic gospel,

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: so not sugarcoated, not watered down at all. The name

128
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: of Jesus is lifted high. But at the same time,

129
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: there's technical excellence, and there are dollars that are put

130
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: behind these films production so that we can be sure

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: and we sit down in the theater, we're gonna see

132
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: not only technical excellence, but like you said, when you

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: watched it this morning, you had tears welling up in

134
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: your eyes because the story is good, the entertainment value

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: is there, and so I'm so grateful that the Lord's

136
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: sort of let me be a part of what I

137
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: feel like is a resurgence of what it means the

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: definition of faith based films. We've got a marriage now

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: of technical excellence matched with unapologetic gospel, and people that

140
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: may never read my Bible studies, or may never come

141
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: to a church, or may never even pick up the Bible,

142
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: what they will do was go to a movie theater

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: and get some hot, buttery, salty popcorn and a soda

144
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: and enjoy a film. And we're hoping that these will

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: just roll out the red carpet for the Holy Spirit

146
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: to march right into some unsuspecting person's life and introduce

147
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: himself to them. Well, this movie is overcome Er is

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: hitting the theaters August. That means this month a big movie.

149
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Mark uh, put it on your calendar and let's go there.

150
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Here's the let me tell everybody the third moment. I

151
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: told you I cried two times in the movie, it's

152
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: the third time I cried. And there's a moment where

153
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: where she asked one of the Kinchrick brothers. He's also

154
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: starring in the movie, Alex. She asked him and asked

155
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: me who I am? Ask me who I am? You

156
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: know you know something I've never And I think that

157
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: was just an important question because most people go through

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: life don't know who they are. Yeah, they go to

159
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: world parents they are. Parents don't know who they are.

160
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Children don't know why they're supposed to be. People running

161
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: companies don't thee And that to me was a finding

162
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: moment for me personally, because just watching it, I asked

163
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: my question, I asked myself who am I? And I

164
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: think that there was a moment in the movie when

165
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: you talk about faith phased, challenging your challenging your beliefs,

166
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: looking forward, and being motivated to be the person that

167
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: you may not expect it believe that you could be.

168
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: It's what the basis of that this movie is all about.

169
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: To me, absolutely, absolutely, it's about asking yourself that question.

170
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: That's the goal. When someone leaves the theater, we're hoping

171
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: they're now considering who Who am I? For real? Are

172
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: there any places in my life, any areas of my

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: life where I've illegitimately attached my significance to that meaning

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: the acceptance by that group, or my climbing up the

175
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: ladder of success in that career. It's nothing wrong with

176
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: those things, but am I it's my significance tied to them?

177
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Because man, if that thing is stripped away, And that's

178
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: what we see in the film. We see a bunch

179
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: of people again whose lives become more intertwined as the

180
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: story goes along, but each of them individually has something

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: stripped away from them, and when it is, it exposes

182
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: in them a place in their life where, man, they

183
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: didn't even realize that their significance had been tied to

184
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: that thing, and you know that's the way it is.

185
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes we don't know it until the thing is stripped away.

186
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: And if you're disappointed by it, that's one thing. But

187
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: if you're devastated because that relationship is no longer there,

188
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: or that career is no longer there, or acceptance from

189
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: that group of people is no longer there, if you're devastated,

190
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: then you need to check and I need to check

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: and say, Lord, let me know if if, if, if

192
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I have displaced you as the single most prioritizing factor

193
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: in my life and have allowed an idol to kind

194
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: of take that seat that should rightfully be yours. Yeah,

195
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: we'll pass to play do something on it because it

196
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: just right around here and just started Banjoe something. I'm

197
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm enlightened. She plays uh the character Olivia Brooks in

198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: the move new movie You're Coming out August Overcoma is

Speaker 1: of the more popular movies in their faith based process

Speaker 1: Mrs Priscilla Shire, Hi, this is Rashan McDonald. Rushan McDonald,

207
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,839

208
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: changes people's lives when they just listen. It's called Effort.

209
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something about yourself. If you can't

210
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: make a little bit of effort, a little bit of

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: change in your daily routine to be better, because I'm

212
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: telling about life. Life allows you to be routine. Life

213
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: allows you to get up, eat, intermingled with people, go

214
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: back to sleep, get up eat in the meeting with people,

215
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: go back to sleep. Is that the life that you

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: want to lead? Or do you want to have a lead?

217
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: A life where you want to like throw a curve

218
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: in that process. And when you throw a curve of

219
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: that process, people will say you look different today, you

220
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: walk different today, you talk different today. That's that's what

223
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: can't I say the word dynamic? I'm dynamic. I can't

224
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: compliment myself. I can't see the value of who I am.

225
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: I can't well. I gotta be humble. You're in the

226
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: era of social media. The word humble does not exist

227
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: in the world of selfies. My guests on the show

235
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show, Miss Priscilla Shire. How Priscilla,

236
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm good, Thanks for having me. I'll be trying to

237
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: be you know. I mean, I'll bean I'm preaching to

238
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: it my own way and my own entrepreneurship way, my

239
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: own ability to tap into people and tell them that.

240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: You know, Lana Adams told me Roshan, there's no separation

241
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: between faith and entrepreneurship. You gotta they get to wine.

242
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: The goals are the same, but you gotta have faith

243
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: to set a sense of purpose on what you're trying

244
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: to achieve. Now, this new book that you have called Radiant.

245
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: Tell us about this book, Well, Radiant is designed to

246
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: put something in the hands of particularly UM women, younger

247
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: women in particular, that might leave the theater and really

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: want to explore and ask themselves the hard questions about identity,

249
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: and so we wanted to have something that would enable

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: them to do that. Um. That's something else I appreciate

251
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: about these filmmakers is that they really do want to

252
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: minister to people and encourage their lives. So, like with

253
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: War Room, I wrote a book called Fervent that was

254
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: strategic prayer for women who were watching the movie and

255
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: then wanted to learn how to pray like that character

256
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: did in Um in War Room. And so it's the

257
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: same thing with with this movie. We want to make

258
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: sure that people could be equipped to really explore the

259
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: issues of identity to see how their identity could become

260
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: rooted in Christ. And I did it in a way

261
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: that hopefully will really speak to younger women as well. UM,

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: like you know, kind of jumping back into my teenagers

263
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and earlies and chronicling some of the personal things that

264
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: I went through and still go through all of us

265
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: to do as we sort of struggle, struggle forward and

266
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of um, you know, stand against the lies of

267
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: the enemy to really deceive us and discourage us, and

268
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: that make us live in a way that is incongruent

269
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: with who God says we are. This is amazing, Like

270
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: my daughters, she's twenty two, she's a junior in college

271
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: at the University of Houston and uh and you know,

272
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: just a beautiful child. And so did you say University

273
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: of Houston. Yes, ma'am, that's my alma mater. All you

274
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: gotta do is to keep talking to this family, this family.

275
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I love this family. Okay, I'm a Cooper. Now you walk,

276
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: you walk outside that little the stadium. My name sit

277
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: right on that tiger and cooler right there, Richard McDonald,

278
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: because I believe in my state. Now now she's over there,

279
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: you know, she's you know, she's a she was a farmer. Uh,

280
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: I can say, uh, star and tennis as a as

281
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: a tennis prodigy. And then she blew out her knee.

282
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: And this is where the whole process of faith and

283
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: belief and the whole dreams changed in the team, you know,

284
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: and from you know, she had been hitting the tennis

285
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: right and since she was six years old and so

286
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: and to get refocused, you have to have people around

287
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: you guiding you. So when I when I you're talking

288
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: about this book, how does the Is the book written

289
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: for somebody like my daughter or is it written for

290
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: the parents? Oh? No, it's written for your daughter. It

291
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: is written so that a woman at that stage and

292
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: that age of life can grab holds of this book

293
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: can read something that is friendly read or friendly in

294
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: other words, they don't feel like school work to them.

295
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: They will enjoy the realities that I share um that

296
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: are you know, captivating because they can relate to it. So,

297
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: for example, one whole chapter is called my hair Story,

298
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: and then in parenthes is what's your story? And I

299
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: just talk about my my own struggles with enjoying the

300
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: fact that I am in my natural self, created in

301
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: the image of God, which means I don't have to

302
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: chemically alter myself to fit in with the paradigm of

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: sameness that is celebrated in our culture as a standard

304
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: of beauty. And and in other words, that was my

305
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: struggle my hair. But I kind of open that up

306
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: than the question to the reader, what's your story? Because

307
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: all of us have in our physicality and in our

308
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: personality something that maybe the culture hasn't celebrated, or where

309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: we have felt rejected or teased because we don't look

310
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: a certain way, or our hips are wider than another,

311
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: or our nose is more broad than another, and we

312
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be different. And so I just talk about

313
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: how we are literally created in the image of God,

314
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: and that every aspect of our uniqueness is intentionally designed

315
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: to reflect God in a way to our sphere of

316
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: influence in a way that can't be done unless we

317
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: just go ahead and be ourselves. So God intended for

318
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: us look this way. And so the book again is

319
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: designed for a young woman to be able to grab

320
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: hold of it, read it, and enjoy seeing herself in

321
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: everything single chapter. That's important because of the fact that

322
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: I constantly talked to my daughter about who she is

323
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: and what she can be about. Never never um talking

324
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: about her physical appearance, uh, never engaging it as a point.

325
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: You know that she should be concerned about how how

326
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: she needs to look. You know, I talked about being

327
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: a professional. She needs to show up for work when

328
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: she goes to work, she needs to show up for

329
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: an interview when she goes to church. But her everyday

330
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: life should be her own path. And so when I

331
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: hear you talk talk about the importance of allowing young

332
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: ladies with proper guidance to be young ladies absolutely well

333
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: again centers in on really having a discussion with the

334
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Lord over the course of your life. To say, Lord,

335
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, Lord, what is it that are

336
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: your priorities for me in this season of life? And

337
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: then to be tender enough to just kind of take

338
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: counsel with that inner conviction. I mean, the Holy Spirit

339
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: speaking to us all the time. If we'll pay attention,

340
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: there are little things of conviction. When we're headed in

341
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: a direction that don't feel right. There are little um

342
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: nuances of peace even when we're you know, headed in

343
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: a direction that other people don't applaud, but it just

344
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: settles well on the inside of us and aligns with

345
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: His word. If we'll pay attention, we'll find that he

346
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: is guiding us into the direction of God's will for

347
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: our life. But that means we have to be women

348
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: who and men who choose to continually ask God Today, Lord,

349
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm surrendered to you in this season of my life,

350
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: like for your daughter in my college career. Lord, I'm

351
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: surrendered to you. So I'm gonna keep touching base with

352
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: you to let you know that I've surrendered my full self,

353
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: my mind, my body, my emotions, my ambitions, I've surrendered

354
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: them to you for your purposes. And then I'm going

355
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: to take a moment to pause and check the direction

356
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit on the inside of me as

357
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: you lead and guide me into your will for my life. Okay, now, so, um,

358
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: I need to put you on tape so I can

359
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,680

00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,360
