I was telling them guys earlier. Y'all hear 57 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 6: me speak all the time. I'd rather maybe talk about 58 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 6: some you know, personal things, maybe a little bit different 59 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 6: than a normal teaching, but just believe you know Nick 60 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 6: the book. You know, there's a lot in life that 61 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 6: can weigh us down these days. And I don't have 62 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 6: to tell you, but with the pandemic and just life 63 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 6: in general, there can be stress and worry and always 64 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 6: something going on. 65 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: I believe if you're going to stay peaceful, you have 66 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: to do it on purpose. In other words, you have 67 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: to make a decision. 68 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 6: And my thought I use the analogy in the book, 69 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 6: like in your car you have a spare tire. You're 70 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 6: not planning on having a flat, but just in case 71 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 6: something happens, you hit a pothole or something doesn't go right, 72 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 6: you have. 73 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: That spare tire. 74 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 6: You've made provision and think in case something happens. I 75 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 6: think it's the same way with peace plan. We get 76 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 6: up in the morning, let's plan to have a good day, 77 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 6: plan on great things happening. But I think at the 78 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 6: same time we should make the decision no matter what 79 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 6: comes my way today, I will stay in peace because 80 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 6: you know, we may go out it's expecting to have 81 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 6: a good day, and you know what, somebody's rude to us, 82 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 6: or our plans don't work out, we go through some delays. Well, 83 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 6: if you're not prepared, if you hadn't made that provision, 84 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 6: it's easy to get stressed and oh man, I can't 85 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 6: believe this didn't work out. But you know when you've 86 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 6: already made that decision. And I believe Nick, the reason 87 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 6: we could make that decision is because we know. 88 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: God's in control. 89 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 6: The scripture says our steps are ordered by the Lord. 90 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 6: So I like to remind myself in the good times 91 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 6: and in the tough times, God still ordered my steps. 92 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 6: He's still in control. Nothing that happens to us as 93 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 6: a surprise to God. So I just bel that life 94 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 6: is too short to live it upset and worried. 95 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: Once we live this day. 96 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 6: May eighteenth, twenty twenty one, we can never get it back. 97 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 6: And that doesn't mean we don't have difficulties. I know 98 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 6: we all do, but I believe that's what faith is 99 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 6: all about. Hey, I should be worried, upset, you know, frustrated, 100 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 6: But you know what, I'm at peace God. 101 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: I know you're on the throne. 102 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 3: When you do that, you can go be good to somebody. 103 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 6: You can have a song of praise instead of complaining, 104 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 6: you can have a smile and instead of being depressed. 105 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 6: So I hope you'll make the decision. You know that 106 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 6: you're going to choose to stay in peace, that you're 107 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 6: going to know that God's in control, that you're going 108 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 6: to do it on purpose. 109 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 4: That's awesome. 110 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 8: As you guys know, you can submit questions throughout this conversation, 111 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 8: personal questions, leadership, ministry questions, any questions you would like. 112 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 8: I know we already have questions coming in a lot 113 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 8: of questions that we've gathered Joel and Victoria. There's a 114 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 8: question here about just a person who's young, who's facing 115 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 8: anxiety and facing fear with everything going on, going through 116 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 8: the pandemic. Any advice specifically that you would give to 117 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 8: a young person who's maybe overwhelmed with anxiety right now 118 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 8: trying to discover peace. I know you mentioned it broadly, 119 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 8: but any specific tips as it relates to someone who's young. 120 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's interesting because this is such a 121 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 7: pandemic with the young people. I was just praying with 122 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 7: one young person today and they were very pressured into 123 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 7: achieving and they felt like they really I think deep 124 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 7: down they didn't feel prepared for their opportunity, and so 125 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 7: you could see the anxiety of trying to just measure 126 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 7: up to these demands in their life. And I think 127 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 7: that for a young person it can be overwhelming, especially 128 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 7: with social media, especially with the expectation put on them. 129 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 9: So what I just said was, you know what, let's 130 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 9: just pray. 131 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 7: Let's pray, because really that is our best weapon, is prayer. 132 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 7: And it was interesting because by the end of the prayer, 133 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 7: I could see is just relief come on on this 134 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 7: young girl, and she was just like, Okay, you know, 135 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 7: I had just a better perspective. And my prayer was 136 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 7: simply that you know, she could rest in what God 137 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 7: had given her and that she do just has gifts 138 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 7: and talents, and that God knows how she is made, 139 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 7: and you know he will work with her personality, but 140 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 7: he's gonna help her rest in who she is. 141 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 9: And just you know, some simple prayer like that. And 142 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 9: it was just amazing the demeanor on her face. She 143 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 9: just felt so much. 144 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 7: I could just feel her relaxing and just being able to. 145 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 9: Take it all in. 146 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 7: So, you know, these young people they need support, they 147 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 7: need our support. They look at what's going on, and 148 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 7: the pressures the social media gives is just really really ridiculous, 149 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 7: you know, the pressure you can put on yourself in 150 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 7: comparison and trying to measure up to all these things 151 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 7: that are not really they're not real. You know, I've 152 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 7: noticed about social media most things are filtered, you know, 153 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 7: And I'm like, you can see at the top the 154 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 7: filter usually they use if they're you know, on it, 155 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 7: and I'm just like, everything is filtered, everything has its 156 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 7: best face forward. 157 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 6: You know. 158 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 9: The thing about it is you don't need any filters 159 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 9: with God. God. 160 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 7: God doesn't need you to put on a filter, a facade, 161 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 7: a fake face. He wants you just the way you are. 162 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 7: He wants you to come to him with your problems, 163 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 7: with your disappointments. 164 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 9: He wants you to. 165 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 7: Find hope in him and trust in him. But that's 166 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 7: what I love about God. When you have a relationship 167 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 7: with him, you can talk to him about the things 168 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 7: that are bothering you. But there's one key to that, 169 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 7: and that is you have to believe that he's listening. 170 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 7: You have to believe that he cares, and you have 171 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 7: to believe that he. 172 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 9: Wants to help you. 173 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 7: And if you can put that belief system in place, 174 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 7: and then you can have a conversation with God. 175 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 9: I believe that it will help in these. 176 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 7: Trying times of pressure and anxiety that young people are facing, 177 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 7: but also all of us are facing. 178 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 6: You know, I think Nick too, and adding to what 179 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 6: Victoria's saying, for a young person or a person that's anyone, 180 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 6: and it's this principle that what belongs to you is 181 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 6: going to come to you. You know, sometimes I think, 182 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 6: you know, whether we're young or old, you think, oh man, 183 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 6: you know what, I missed my chance? Or somebody married 184 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 6: the guy I wanted to marry, somebody got the promotion 185 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 6: that I wanted, but somebody bought that house that I 186 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 6: thought should. 187 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: Have been mine. 188 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: But you have to come back to this. 189 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 6: You keep honoring God with your life, and what belongs 190 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 6: to you won't go to anybody else. At the right time, 191 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 6: God will bring it into your life. So I just 192 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 6: encourage it to you know, not have to live frustrated and. 193 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: Wondering when it's going to happen. 194 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 6: Just stay in that place of peace, knowing that God's 195 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 6: going to bring the right people, the right opportunities. 196 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: He's going to cause solutions to problems. 197 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 6: May not happen on our timetable, but you know, I 198 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 6: go back to that key. 199 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: You know, Nick, from the time. 200 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 6: I was a little boy, I always taught to honor 201 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 6: God with my life and are not perfect. It doesn't 202 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 6: mean you don't mistakes, but you have that desire to 203 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 6: please God. You keep in first place. And I saw 204 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 6: God brought this building to us. We tried to get 205 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 6: other property to build something on, but you know what 206 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 6: this building was, you know was destined to be ours. 207 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 6: There are things that God is already destined to be ours, 208 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 6: to be yours. I call them those marked moments. So 209 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 6: you know, as a young person, you know what am 210 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 6: I going to do with my future? I got to 211 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 6: keep up over here, I got to do this well, 212 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 6: you know what, the right doors are going to open. 213 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 3: And I would encourage you to be your. 214 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 6: Best right where you are while you're waiting maybe for 215 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 6: God to change something. Why maybe you're you're waiting for 216 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 6: a bigger position, you're waiting for a scholarship to come through. 217 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: Be your best right where you are. You know, I 218 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: think that's a key. 219 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 6: If you'll prove to God that you will be faithful 220 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 6: where you are, then I believe God can open up 221 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 6: new doors. 222 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: I think the mistake we make. 223 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 6: Sometimes is, you know what, this is not where I 224 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 6: want to be, So I'm gonna slack off or i 225 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 6: want to be depressed. I'm not going to be my best. 226 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 6: But you know what, you got to say God, this 227 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 6: is where you have. 228 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: Me right now. 229 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 6: May not be where I want to be, but I 230 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 6: want to be my best. I won't be good to somebody. 231 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 6: Think about a story nick who was that I don't know, 232 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 6: well you would know the name anyway, Somebody told me 233 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 6: they got laid off and it was a he had 234 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 6: a good position and it was not fair. But they 235 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 6: didn't sit around at home. They came up to the 236 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 6: church and volunteered, like for month and month. Now they 237 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 6: go on job interviews and do everything they could, but 238 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 6: instead of sitting at home being depressed, they'd come up 239 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 6: and volunteer and answer the phone for us, pray for people, 240 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 6: and just do random things. And I thought that was 241 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 6: that was a great seed that they were so and 242 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 6: eventually a great door opened up, something better than he 243 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 6: ever imagined. But I went back to think, I wonder 244 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 6: if that would have happened if he had not, if 245 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 6: he had just been. 246 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: Depressed and bitter where he was. I think he made 247 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 3: the choice. 248 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 6: You know what, I almost shine right where I am, 249 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 6: and I think about it. Says our steps are ordered 250 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 6: by the Lord that tells. 251 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 4: Me where we are. 252 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: We're at the where, at the right place. 253 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 6: It may be a difficult time, but if you know 254 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 6: that God's ordered your steps, that means He's going to 255 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 6: bring good out of it. It's a step on the 256 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 6: way to your destiny. And I used Joseph a lot 257 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 6: in the scriptures, but he went through one bad break 258 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 6: after another, but when you step back, it always leading 259 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 6: him to where God was taking him, but yet they 260 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 6: were difficult times. So you know, if you're in a 261 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 6: difficult time, a door's not opening, or you know, maybe 262 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 6: you just don't feel like you got more in you, 263 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 6: but you feel kind of stuck. 264 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: Keep in your best where you are. 265 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 6: You've got some marked moments where God's going to open 266 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 6: some doors because you've stayed faithful, you've kept honoring him. 267 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 6: He's going to bring the right to your things to 268 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 6: you as well. 269 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 7: That's so good because sometimes we can get so caught 270 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 7: up in our performance. You know that we have to perform, 271 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 7: we have to perform perfectly, and that perfection when we 272 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 7: forget to do our best, like Joel's saying, and rely 273 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 7: on God to do what we can't do. And I 274 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 7: think that takes the pressure off. It's just like Joel said, 275 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 7: be your best and don't feel like you have to 276 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 7: perform to make things happen. But God's got the plan 277 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 7: that's unfolding. 278 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 9: So that's so good. You know that already makes me 279 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 9: feel relaxed again. 280 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 8: We're talking about Joel's new book, Peaceful on Purpose. Another 281 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 8: question that has come in and it kind of relates to, 282 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 8: you know, the young generation, But what are some things 283 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 8: that you guys do as parents to spiritually invest into 284 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 8: your family. A lot of questions from parents moms asking 285 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 8: what can we do to help guide our kids in 286 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 8: the right direction. Any practical things or things that you 287 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 8: guys do. 288 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 6: Well, one thing in Victor, you speak to this, but 289 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 6: one thing is we Nick, we try to model the 290 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 6: way we want our children to live. 291 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: And again we're not perfect. 292 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 4: But I think, you. 293 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 3: Know, one of the things you can do is be 294 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: a good. 295 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 6: Example, be loving, be kind, be respectful. I think that's 296 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: a that's a big part of it. I guess just 297 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 6: when I think about growing up, my parents never made 298 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 6: us come to church, but we always wanted to come 299 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 6: to church because that's where our friends were and that's 300 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 6: where we had fun. We learned about God, but we 301 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 6: had fun as well. 302 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 3: So I saw my parents. They were the same on. 303 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 6: The pulpit in front of people as they were at home. 304 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 6: And I saw my parents, you know, in the morning, 305 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 6: reading their Bible and taking time for God, treating people right, 306 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 6: you know, you. 307 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: Know, both of them. But I remember my dad. It 308 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: didn't matter who you were. He he loved everybody. He 309 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: was for everybody. 310 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 6: Well, that made a big impression on me to you know, 311 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 6: how I lived my life. So I think a lot 312 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 6: of it is by example, and you know, I think 313 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 6: that's that's a big, big. 314 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: Part of it. 315 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 6: Of course, you you know, you speak faith into your 316 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 6: children as well, but leading by example is one thing. 317 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know that old saying more is caught than taught. 318 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 7: You know, they're like video recorders on legs, so they're 319 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 7: taking everything in and they're so smart they know when 320 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 7: there's when you're acting one way at home preaching something 321 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 7: else to them. But I think one of the things 322 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 7: that I feel like that I was able to accomplish 323 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 7: with my children was early, early on, I communicated with them. 324 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: And it started even as simple as reading books together 325 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 7: and just when they were little, you know, reading books 326 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 7: like at night time or when you know, during the 327 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 7: day when there was some time. 328 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 9: And it's just like an open dialogue because it's not 329 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 9: just about reading a book, but it's. 330 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 7: About talking about the book, talking about the animals in 331 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 7: the book. And so it's it's like you keep this 332 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 7: dialogue going with your children. And I think that when 333 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 7: they're older and then you have to say some things 334 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 7: that are like guidance their parental things they're not like, 335 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 7: where did you come from? 336 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 9: You know, you haven't talked to me up to this point. 337 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 9: Now you're telling you what to do, you know. 338 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 7: I think that's super important because when they're sixteen going 339 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 7: out on their first date, that's not when you start 340 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 7: telling them all they're what they should be doing. You've 341 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 7: already planted in them a good foundation. And so even 342 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 7: to this day, I have a twenty two year old 343 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 7: and a twenty six year old, and I can talk 344 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 7: to them. I'm learning that I can't talk to them 345 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 7: the same way I did when they were ten. I 346 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 7: talked to them as an adult. Now I phrase my 347 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 7: questions differently. So I'm very aware of how I talk 348 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 7: to them because I want to keep those lines of 349 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 7: communication open. So I tried to take their cues and learn. 350 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 7: I just really try to learn. I think I try 351 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 7: to learn still with Joel, how to talk to him. 352 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 7: I know when he's feels a lot of pressure. I 353 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 7: know when he doesn't want to talk. I'll never forget 354 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 7: when he first started ministering his father past and before that, 355 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 7: it was like a different world. We could just do 356 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 7: and go and we had a lot of responsibility. But 357 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 7: it wasn't the same, and I'll never forget he. It 358 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 7: was one Thursday afternoon and he was at home and 359 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 7: he was having lunch and he was studying, and so 360 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 7: I was like, Oh, he's having lunch. 361 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 9: I'm going to go have lunch with him. 362 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: So I got some lunch and I sat down with him, 363 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 7: and I'm trying to talk to him, and he's not 364 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 7: saying anything. 365 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 9: And I keep trying to talk to him. 366 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 7: And he's just nodding, and I'm like, Wow, he's so rude, 367 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 7: you know, because he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. 368 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 7: I realized, you know, that was like starting this new 369 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 7: pattern in our life. I realized he's took on a 370 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 7: responsibility that was taking a ton of his time and 371 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 7: a ton of his energy. Then I started studying his 372 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 7: patterns and how Thursday was a very important day for him. 373 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 7: He would start writing his message on Thursday and he 374 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 7: wanted to stay focused. 375 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 9: So I really adapted to that pattern and I studied him. 376 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 7: That's basically what I did, and I adapted, and I 377 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 7: really think that that helped our relationship. 378 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 9: I think it helped our transition a lot. And I 379 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 9: think that's just what we have to do. 380 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 7: If we want to have good relationships with each other, 381 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 7: we have to be mindful of the other person, and 382 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 7: not just what we want to say or what we 383 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 7: want them to say to us, but really mindful. And 384 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 7: I think when you do that, you can open lines 385 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 7: of communication to your husband, your boss, your friends, your children. 386 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 7: You know, just to be aware, self aware of how 387 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 7: you're saying things and how you're doing things, because really, 388 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 7: you can have all the money world, you can have 389 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 7: all the opportunity in the world, but if you don't 390 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 7: have good relationships, you really have nothing, because that's the 391 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 7: richness of life. So it's really worth it's worth developing 392 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 7: your communication skills. 393 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 9: I think. 394 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, another thing we started doing Victoria got me to 395 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 6: do it that it's praying for our children at different 396 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 6: times of day, and so on our phone, we set 397 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 6: an alarm at ten and at five ten am, at 398 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 6: five pm ten am to pray for Jonathan, a five 399 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 6: pm to pray for Alexander. So you know, the alarm 400 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 6: goes off and it may take ten seconds, but you 401 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 6: know what, I know, wherever Victoria is in this world, 402 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 6: that she's going to take a minute and we're going 403 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 6: to pray together. 404 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 9: We're in agree. 405 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 6: And you know, the scripture talks about when you know, 406 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 6: when you're in agreement, it's you. You know, one can 407 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 6: chage a thousand and two can put ten thousand flight. 408 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 6: I like to say, when you're in agreement, you're ten 409 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 6: times more powerful. 410 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 3: So how do these just little things like that too? 411 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 6: Now? Granted, our children a little older, but you know, 412 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 6: I think you never stopped praying for that. 413 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 7: What's so funny is sometimes I won't always have them 414 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 7: off in my hand. And so now Alexandra, who who 415 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 7: just graduated from college and she lives with us, She's like, 416 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 7: there's your phone, Mom, it's five o'clock. That's what you're 417 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 7: supposed to You're supposed to be praying for me. So 418 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 7: she knows, and I would think that's a good feeling. 419 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 7: I mean, she knows that her mom and dad are 420 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 7: praying for her. Her my son knows that we pray 421 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 7: for them. In fact, when we're talking and discussing, I'll 422 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 7: just say, hey, let's just take a second to pray, 423 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 7: you know, and my children will pray. 424 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 9: They've always prayed. I remember that. Sometimes I can feel 425 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 9: my son kind of lean into that prayer, you know, 426 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 9: So it becomes just something that you do. It's what 427 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 9: they're accustomed to. 428 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 7: And then when they get older, I believe that they're 429 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 7: going to pray with their children and with their spouses 430 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 7: and pray for themselves in these difficult times because Lord 431 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 7: knows we need him, we need to pray. 432 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 4: So that's fantastic. 433 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 8: There's there's a chapter in here about not trying to 434 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 8: control everything. Yeah, and there's even been a lot of 435 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 8: questions that have come in from people about just not 436 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 8: trying really hard not to control, letting go of things 437 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 8: that have happened in the past, or letting go of 438 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 8: frustrations that they're working through. Unpack that a little bit 439 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 8: for people who are watching. 440 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the power of that. 441 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, Niked. It's an important principle to 442 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 6: stay in peace. I think a lot of times we're 443 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 6: frustrated because we're trying to control things that we can't control. 444 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 6: I mean, we can't make other people do what's right. 445 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 6: You can't make the traffic be right or make the 446 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 6: medical report turn around. We can do what we can, 447 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 6: but where it gets frustrating is, you know what, it's 448 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 6: not changing like we want, or somebody's not changing as 449 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 6: fast as we like, and there's why we get frustrated. 450 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 3: Well, you have to take your hands off of it. 451 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 6: Control what you can, your attitude, what you think, how 452 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 6: you treat people, and then tho's other things you have 453 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 6: to release control. 454 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: That's what faith is all about. God. 455 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 6: I'm praying, I'm believing, But this boss isn't changing, or 456 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 6: my child isn't changing. 457 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 3: Or the medical report. But you know what, I can't 458 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: control that. Lord, I know you're on the throne. I 459 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 3: know you're in control. 460 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 6: I think a lot of our frustrations would go away 461 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 6: if we'd we'd turn those things over to God, not 462 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 6: try to control things that we can't control. Because Nick, 463 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 6: if we don't learn this, you can go twenty or 464 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 6: thirty years letting somebody at work get on your nerves. 465 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 3: You know you can't make them do what's right. 466 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 6: You know you can't, you know, or letting the traffic 467 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 6: or just just certain situations. So I just the older 468 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 6: I get, the more I realize life is too short 469 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 6: to live negative, discourage, worried, And if we will turn 470 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 6: these things over, I call it release in control. 471 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: Do what you can. 472 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 6: You know, I'm not saying the scripture says cast your 473 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 6: cares on the Lord. It doesn't say cast your responsibilities, 474 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 6: do what you can. But there are certain things we 475 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 6: have no control over. You got to let that go 476 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 6: where they're gonna it's gonna steal your joy for the 477 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 6: next many many years. See, sometimes Nick, we're trying to 478 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 6: change people, but only God can. And I think what 479 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 6: we have to do is recognizing I don't want to 480 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 6: say this in negative way, but that person may not change. 481 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 6: But you know what I can change my approach. I 482 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 6: don't have to let them steal my joy anymore. I 483 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 6: don't have to give away my power if somebody, you know, 484 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 6: somebody's you know, I just say, getting on my nerves 485 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 6: at work. You know, when you let them, you know, 486 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 6: take your joy, you're giving them your power. So I 487 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 6: like to you know, things that I can't change or 488 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 6: may be tempting to frustrate me, I like to say, Okay, God, 489 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 6: how can I change? I'm not going to let that 490 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 6: frustrate me anymore. And really, sometimes God allows these things. 491 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 6: I don't think he'll you know, he doesn't send all 492 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 6: the bad things, but he'll allow things so that we 493 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,239 Speaker 6: can grow. And as you pass that test, and all 494 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 6: of a sudden, the same thing that used to bother you, 495 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 6: doesn't bother you anymore. 496 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: Where you're coming up higher, You're getting ready to go 497 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 3: to a new level. 498 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 6: God's getting you prepared so you can handle more influence 499 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 6: and more favor. So I like to see those things 500 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 6: as tests that we have to pass. You know, if 501 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 6: something's not changing, I can't control it. 502 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: Even when we. 503 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 6: Tried to buy that property to build to build a 504 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 6: new facility. On twice we tried to buy it sold 505 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 6: out from under us. There wasn't any more property. 506 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: You know. I finally came to the place. 507 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 6: That God, if you want us to have a new auditorium, 508 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 6: I know you'll work it out. But these doors have closed. 509 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 6: These people didn't do us right. They sold property out 510 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 6: from under us. But I did what I can. But 511 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna release control and just think you 512 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 6: that you have the right place. 513 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 4: So I try to I try to teach you what 514 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: I've learned. 515 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 3: But the point is is I could have been frustrated 516 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 3: and bitter and discouraged. 517 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: Because you know, we couldn't buy that property that I 518 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 6: wanted to build a new auditorium, never dreaming that God 519 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 6: had this. 520 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: So you pass some tests and who knows what. 521 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 6: God will bring you into, so you know, release control 522 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 6: of the things that you have no control over, even 523 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 6: in a medical situation. I believe in you know, getting well, 524 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 6: that's God's destiny for your life. But you do what 525 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 6: you can and then you say, okay, God, I'm gonna 526 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 6: do all my part. Now I'm just gonna rest in you. 527 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 6: In other words, Nick, I don't think we're supposed to 528 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 6: live in a. 529 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: Fight mode all the time. 530 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 6: Otherwise, you know what we're we're upset because this person 531 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 6: at work and we're believing for our health to turn. 532 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 6: Then it's always this stress on the inside. I like 533 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 6: to say that when you rest, God goes to work. 534 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 6: When you work, then God rest. So you take your 535 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 6: hands off and do what you can. But what you 536 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 6: can't control, God, you're in control. I want to enjoy 537 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 6: this day. Won't be good to others, And as you 538 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 6: do that, I believe you know, it's one of the 539 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 6: steps to stay peaceful on purpose because you know, again, 540 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 6: we want. 541 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: You to enjoy your life. 542 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 6: We want you to not just endure it, but just 543 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 6: to have a peace even in the midst of the storms. 544 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 7: You know, talking about control, I was thinking about how 545 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 7: sometimes we want someone to make us happy, you know, 546 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 7: and so with this person's not making me happy, I'm frustrated. 547 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 7: I wish and talk a little bit about that because 548 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 7: we know that, you know, people can't make you happy. 549 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 9: You've got to depend on God to make you happy. 550 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 7: And so a lot of times that's where we find 551 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 7: a lot of frustration and we lose our peace, we 552 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 7: lose our joy because someone's no performing the way we 553 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 7: think they should. And so, you know, I know that 554 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 7: even in my marriage, I realize that Joel can't keep 555 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 7: me happy. I have to have a joy on the 556 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 7: inside of me. I have to have I'm a responsible 557 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 7: to keep myself happy. I'm responsible to keep myself motivated. 558 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 7: I'm responsible to, you know, keep moving forward because you know, 559 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 7: especially in a marriage, relationships, or even children, sometimes people 560 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 7: want their children to keep them happy, fulfill them. But 561 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 7: you just you can't depend on people to do that. 562 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 7: You've got to find that in God. You got to 563 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 7: find that in his word. You got to tap into 564 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 7: your gifts and your talents. Stir up that joy, because 565 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 7: the Bible talks about that. You've been you know, God 566 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 7: has given you joy on the inside, but sometimes we 567 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 7: let it get so buried that we can't find it, 568 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 7: and that joy is our strength, it's our inspiration, it's 569 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 7: our vision. So I think that sometimes I've seen people 570 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 7: and I've seen it happen, and I could feel it 571 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 7: happened to myself, you know, I was like, Joel, well, 572 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 7: you know, I want to do this, or I want 573 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 7: to do that, or you should be telling me this 574 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 7: or you know, nobody can keep up with that all 575 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 7: the time. So I think that's another thing that you 576 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 7: talk about in this book. You know, you just can't 577 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 7: have you can't depend on other people to keep you happy. 578 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 4: You said, it's a good bit dry. Is any better 579 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 4: than that? It's really this. 580 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 6: We are responsible for our own happiness. And I think 581 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 6: what she said, if you're relying on somebody else, you're 582 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 6: going to be frustrated. You know, take the pressure off 583 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 6: that other person, because that's very you know, you know, 584 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 6: it's going to say, very unfair, that's very difficult. Nobody 585 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 6: can keep you happy. You come back and you get 586 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 6: the happiness on the inside, the joy, get at peace 587 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 6: with yourself, and release that other person, take the pressure 588 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 6: off of them, and you know you're going to live 589 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 6: your life more free and you're going to have better relationships. 590 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 4: Awesome. 591 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 8: Again, we are talking about Joel's new book, Peaceful on Purpose. Well, 592 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 8: a lot of questions are coming in about your personal life. 593 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 8: Maybe there's some things about each other that the public 594 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 8: doesn't know, maybe some personal core, personal habits, funny stories. 595 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 8: Does anything come to mind, Victoria? Maybe one thing that 596 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 8: that maybe everyone may not know about Joel that. 597 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I always like to say this because when 598 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 7: you look at Joel, he looks so fit, he looks like, 599 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 7: you know, he's so nice. 600 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 9: He's You're right, You're absolutely right. He's very. 601 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 4: Children. 602 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 9: But you wouldn't believe this about him. 603 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 7: He eats a Sprinkles cupcake almost every single night before 604 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 7: he goes to bed, a chocolate cupcake, Sprinkles, Sprinkles, dark 605 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 7: chocolate cupcake. 606 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 9: But he's done it. 607 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 7: We've been married thirty four years and he's always eaten 608 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 7: a dessert before he goes to bed. It's almost like 609 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 7: it just kind of tells him it's a bedtime. I 610 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 7: don't know, you'll have to talk about him. 611 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 4: It's good too. 612 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 7: But I used to make I used to I used 613 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 7: to make a chocolate cake every week because he would 614 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 7: just like to eat on that all through the week. 615 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 9: But that's that's one thing that people don't know. 616 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 7: He loves chocolate cake or chocolate cupcakes or something chocolate 617 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 7: at night, but he is kind of picky about his chocolate. 618 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 9: It's got to be just the right texture. You got 619 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 9: to be just the right amount, it's got to be 620 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 9: just the right this do you want to describe? Do 621 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 9: you want to talk about you? 622 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 4: I don't have this show. I don't have any good comments. 623 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 7: Also, Joel is extremely which this may not be surprising, 624 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 7: extremely focused and very very disciplined. And I think that's 625 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 7: kind of why I even brought up that you can't 626 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 7: get some you know, put the pressure on someone to 627 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 7: make you happy, because early on in our marriage he's 628 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 7: always been very focused, very disciplined, almost like works off lists, 629 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 7: and so you know, he's busy all the time, and 630 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 7: so you learn, you have to learn that, you know what, 631 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 7: Let him do his thing. Let him that's where he 632 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 7: functions the best. But that's one thing about that's he's 633 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 7: very focused, very disciplined. He probably can get more done 634 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 7: than most people. 635 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 3: Will add that he's pretty competitive. 636 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 9: We're roasting him. We're roasting him. 637 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 4: So we have to tell this, so we play. 638 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 8: We played tennis off and and we've played fifty games 639 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 8: of tennis together, and I'm kind of learning to play tennis. 640 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 8: He's actually got me pretty passionate about it. And when 641 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 8: we've when we've played, it gets competitive. And I asked 642 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 8: him to sign a book for me recently, and he 643 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 8: gave me the copy of the book. And when I 644 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 8: opened the book, in the book with a sheet of 645 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 8: paper and it said thirty to twenty with about six 646 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 8: exclamation points after that's the score. So he's up ten 647 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 8: ten games on me. But he wanted to remind me 648 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 8: as well as encouraged me. At the same time, I 649 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 8: was still ten games behind him that he had that 650 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 8: he had. 651 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: A great athlete football. I did all this stuff. 652 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 6: So I've found the sport where he's the worst death 653 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 6: because otherwise he'd killed me. 654 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 9: And quick to remind me that he is up ten games. 655 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: What about What about Victoria? 656 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 8: Anything about her that maybe some people may not know. 657 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 3: Oh well, they've probably well a lot of things. 658 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 4: Where do I start? 659 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 6: Victoria loves to laugh, and I think that's what it's 660 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 6: a great characteristic is She's she laughs. I hear laughter 661 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 6: going through the house all the time. And I think 662 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 6: it's important that the atmosphere we set in our homes. 663 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 6: And she's she's a great example of setting an atmosphere 664 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 6: of joy and just uh, you know, because there's a 665 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 6: lot of stress in the world today. 666 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: You guys, you deal with it too.

You got to check that 673 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 3: stuff at the door. 674 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 6: You've got to keep your home, you know, set the 675 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 6: atmosphere in your home of peace and joy and learn 676 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 6: to laugh. I mean, like she said, we've been married 677 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 6: thirty four years.
