1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: I have something really important I want to talk to 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: you about today. Every one of you is interested in 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: living a life that is actually on purpose. I mean, 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: we can become fixated by current events. Man, it's getting 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: like when the Iran nuclear reactor gets hit, when the 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: riots are going on, when the trade is in Russia 7 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas. There's all kinds of 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: ways to get hooked. But you know what, none of 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: those incidents is actually helping you make a living. Could 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: interrupt you making a living, but none of them is 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: really going to be helping you get where you want 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: to go in life. So I cover news all the 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: time in analysis, and every now and then I pull 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: back and I talk to groups of young people and 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs and young families, and I realize they have other 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: things in their life than world events and what's going 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: on in the war room, so to speak. So I 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: want to focus on a one powerful idea. I did 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: a workshop with a CEO, a guy who's got like 20 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar corporation, and he was speaking there 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: and I listened to his presentation and he said something 22 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: which blew my mind. He talked about like the Leman's 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: race car, and he evidently he's involved with that, and 24 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: he says, something happens. The car is rattling and it's noisy, 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: it's and it's bouncing around until it hits the maximum 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: torque of what the engine is designed to do. And 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: then something strange happens. Everything goes quiet. At like two 28 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty or two hundred and forty miles an hour, 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: the whole race car goes and it's like silent. It's 30 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: like you break the sonic you know, sound barrier, and 31 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: everything still. And he said he was so intrigued by 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: the concept that he began to look at what was 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: really taking place. So I examined it a little bit. 34 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: And it's called the aerodynamic harmony. It's the driver would say, 35 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: which when you get in the groove or you're aero balanced. 36 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: They say, it's it's getting in the zone or the 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: slip stream of where that the air in front and 38 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: the air pressing down the engine is operating at where 39 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: it's maximum is designed to So it's not it's not 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: still utilizing unused capacity kind of shaking. It's doing what 41 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: it's designed to do. And the best answer I can find, 42 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: the terminology I could find for it was harmonic balance. 43 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: You see, your life is designed like this engine here, 44 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: you're a fine tuned race car. You're you're designed for 45 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: a certain purpose. And if once you realize that. I've 46 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: listened to some scientists talk about that what's leaving the 47 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: evolutionary community in the dust and creating a whole open 48 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: ended search for divine designer intelligent life in the universes 49 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: that as they got into DNA, as they broke down 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: the molecular biostructure at greater detail, they discovered that the 51 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: DNA is almost like it's a code. Oh my gosh, 52 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: It's like life has a designer, a super computer that 53 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: creates a code for the DNA, and out of the 54 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: code comes all these other processes. That race car is 55 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: designed for a purpose, and when it's driven by the 56 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: right driver doing what its purpose is, it can reach frustrating, 57 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: noisy journeys until it hits boom the realm of harmon, 58 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: a convergence, or the place of harmonic balance, where it's 59 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: doing the thing it was called to do. I want 60 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: to suggest to you that God himself, in the beginning, 61 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: God God is the code maker. He's the one that 62 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: coded the system that there is a moral universe that 63 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: ultimately operates with a certain kind of a divine blueprint 64 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: to it, and it has history, has a beginning, a middle, 65 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: and an end, and in the Bible it's called the 66 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: end times when the pressure is the most intense. The 67 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: Greek word for tribulation is thillipsis. It means the compression 68 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: of all the pages, narrowing your options. But it's also 69 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: the time you're living in where if you can disconnect 70 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: from the noise of what's going on around you and 71 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: focus on driving the wheel, the vehicle that God gave 72 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: you you can move at two hundred and forty miles 73 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: an hour, you can hit a place called convergence. Convergence 74 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: is a unique concept. It's actually coined by research by 75 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: the name of Bobby Clinton, and it refers to a stage, 76 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: a life stage here rarely achieved. Convergence is when the 77 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: sum total of all of your life experiences accumulate into 78 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: a kind of into a defining moment where you know 79 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: who you are and what it is that you're all about. 80 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about this because, according 81 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: to Clinton, in his data, only twenty percent all I 82 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: got to use my pen here for this twenty percent 83 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: of people that he studied over the course of thirty years. 84 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: He did his research at Fuller Theological Seminary, doctor Bobby Clinton, 85 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: and I was interested in this because I was teaching 86 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: a master's degree course. I was interesting because I was 87 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: fast tracking my divinity my degree program, and since everybody 88 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: knew that I was a teacher. I was teaching on 89 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: seven Mountains of transformational culture, the seven verticals that shape 90 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: culture and how they interact with each other in order 91 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: to create an effect on a nation. So I was 92 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: teaching that and Bobby Clinton was the other teacher, and 93 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: I got credit for teaching, which was kind of cool. 94 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: It helped me do my degree faster. And I sat 95 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: in his classes and he talked about this convergence theory 96 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: or leadership emergence theory as he calls it. And he 97 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: said that over the course of his twenty thirty years 98 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: of research at Fuller, he studied the patterns and prototypes 99 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: in the Bible, in history, and in the live students 100 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: that were there to observe the arc of how they 101 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: moved into alignment with the two hundred and forty mile 102 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: an hour capacity of their race car, and they went 103 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: to the top of their profession. So just from a 104 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: pure human potential point of view, I was intrigued with 105 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: the idea. Now I've only got like four minutes in this, 106 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: so I'm going to give you the quick synopsis. He 107 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: said that convergence doesn't start nobody starts coming out of 108 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: the womb going hi, I'm Henry Ford or Thomas Edison, 109 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: or Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln. He says, it starts 110 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: with your sovereign foundations. And this is important because God 111 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: factored into your life because He is the code architect. 112 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: He fashioned your life. What time of history you show 113 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: up in, so you're so blessed you're alive. Now, people, 114 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: I wish I could be a live back on the 115 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: days of Jesus. No, you're really done. I mean other 116 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: than meeting Jesus and seeing him, which is like the ultimate. 117 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the reason why that makes sense. But there 118 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: is no human conveniences and you're going to find there's 119 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: no hot in running water, no plumbing, no uh, there's 120 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: no reliable diet for food. That the slavery is endemic 121 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: and cruelty is common, and it's a weird world back there. 122 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Depending on what part of the planeting you're dropped in, 123 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: and you were born for this time, and you should 124 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: be happy you are born in this time. But in 125 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: this time, you were born into the gender you're in, 126 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: So you don't want to be confused about whether you're 127 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: in the right body or not. You were born into 128 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: the family of origin that you came from. That somehow 129 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: God had designed these random factors for your gifts, talents, 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: and abilities were already determined for you. In other words, 131 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: you have a built in code. Your nationality was determined 132 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: for you. The color of your skin was determined for you. 133 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: And like I said, even your time in history. Are 134 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: you a boomer, are you a millennial? Are you a zoomer? 135 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: Or whatever you're called to what you're called, you're in 136 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: the exact place for the convergence of your own life calling. 137 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: So the Christian he was studying Christians, of course, because 138 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: he's a professor at a theological seminary. He says that 139 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: spiritual formation is a major part of this. I looked 140 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: at these stages and I said, you know, this works 141 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: for not only preachers, it works for people in different professions. 142 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: And since I was looking at the Seven Mountains and 143 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: saying well, what are the patterns for convergence in the 144 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: business world. What's convergence look like in arts? As an artist, 145 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: in convergence with your expression as in arts? What is 146 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: convergence for the statesman? The political call? And so I 147 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: wanted to break it out into a different study. But 148 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: all of them have a spiritual formation. This is the 149 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: period in life in which you have extremely interesting emotional 150 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: events that shape for you your moral compass. Now I 151 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: can make a terrorist, an activist, a unibomber, or it 152 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: can make someone who gives their life for a higher cost. 153 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: So Lincoln had arrived at certain conclusions about slavery because 154 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: of the significant emotional events that had formed his moral compass. 155 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: Spiritual formation for a Christian is a much more specific thing. 156 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: This is when you meet Jesus, when you encounter the 157 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: claims of the resurrection, when you begin to wrestle with 158 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: the is the Bible really really? You tell me that's real, 159 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: It's not like all fiction. And you start boom having 160 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: God encounters that confirm by the deep dealings of God 161 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: that you know while you're reading the book, the book 162 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: is reading you, and you start experiencing spiritual formation as 163 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: a maturing believer, and then you come into this phase 164 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: of ministry maturity, which if I was to translate this 165 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: to any language, even for a secular person who walks 166 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: in fulfillment of desk. Because like I said, I study Lincoln, 167 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: I study Churchill, I study people that aren't models and preachers. 168 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: What I found is that all of them have a 169 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: period when they have gift discovery and development. What does 170 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: that mean? That means that you have certain talents and 171 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: abilities and skills. Some of your thinkers, your talker, some 172 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: of your musicians athletes are physiological and kinesthetically gifted. That 173 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: you're gifting and your calling are intensely related to each other. 174 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: That the ministry maturity or gift discovery development moves to 175 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: a phase of life maturing. And this is where you 176 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: deal with the ups and downs of getting fired from 177 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: different jobs. Like Rush Limbaugh kept getting fired, but each 178 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: one opened up another awareness of what he to do, 179 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: We needed to do right and do differently until he 180 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: became an information entertainer with a conservative worldview. You could 181 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: see the formation process in a life like Rush Limbaugh, 182 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: you could see it in somebody like Steve Bannon, and 183 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: so in life maturing. However, you're not able to do 184 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: what you really want to do because you've got to 185 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: pay the bills. You've got marriage problems. You might even 186 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: have kids that are rebellies. You might have divorced, you 187 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: might have sickness, might be taking care of your old man, 188 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: you might be dealing with bankruptcy. All kinds of things 189 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: go into the cylinder of life maturing. But when these phases, 190 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: as they start to overlap with each other, they come 191 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: about that you're coming to a point of a greater 192 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: clarification in terms of what it is that you uniquely 193 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: do well and do best, and you enter the conversions zone. 194 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: All right, I want to be able to get this 195 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: teaching to you. I want to go off for you 196 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: something that will enable you to do that. Go to 197 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: Lancewallnow dot com Forward slash Wheel. It's my gift to you. 198 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: I want you to start the journey. I haven't got 199 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: to the wheel yet, but this is where we're heading 200 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: into summarizing where you are at in the journey towards convergence. 201 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: And I'm going to cover more of this in the 202 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: next segment. 203 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: The Lance Wallnow Show will return right after this break. 204 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: So what we talked about so far in this training, 205 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: is that in order to come to the place where 206 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: you're actually like the the race car that's moving in 207 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: a harm in kind of a harmonic convergence with his design. 208 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: At two hundred and twenty and forty miles an hour, boom, 209 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: the race car driver says, everything goes quiet. The vehicle 210 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: stops shaking, rattling. Even the engine is quieter because it's 211 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: no longer managing unused capacity. It's at the design stage 212 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: for what it's built to do. And I'm saying that 213 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: that's a metaphor for life, that you're meant to be 214 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: driven on purpose, that you have a purpose for your life, 215 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: and that your vehicle or the gifts, talents and abilities 216 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: God gave you leads you to a purpose that God 217 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: actually has prepared things for you to do. That's the 218 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: reason why they're prophetic for so many people in the 219 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: charismatic community. Is such an intriguing and sought out phenomena 220 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: because the intuition that there's a design for life and 221 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: a design in history that some people can reach into 222 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: the future and part the curtain and show you what's 223 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: coming is part of what we know is a prophetic 224 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: faculty in your life. God wants you to be able 225 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: to have a personal prophetic view of what your calling is. 226 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: That's convergence is the intersection. Let me put it this way. 227 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Convergence is kind of like a nuclear phenomena where your gifts, 228 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: talents and acquired skills. Notice I said acquired skills, things 229 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: you learned along the way, come together to create in 230 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: you a unique gifting that fits a certain role. And 231 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: for the purpose of our illustration, I'm going to put 232 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: the word role here as an envelope. What you're waiting 233 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: for is for life to give you a job that 234 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: matches what you're uniquely called and capable of doing. Whenever 235 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you step into a taste of convergence, it's in your history. 236 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: You'll see it in the timeline of your experience. So 237 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: let's move over this way for our purposes, for this 238 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: that in your life you will have moments. Want you 239 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: to see this as God has a call for you. 240 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like Heaven has this spotlight on you, 241 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: and here you are, put a little cane on, a 242 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: little hat in your hand. Are you ready? You're ready 243 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: to step into the performance of your life? Right and 244 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: here you are ready. But you'll notice that in your 245 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: life experience. You're doing work that isn't there, and then 246 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: you go, WHOA, I really experience something unique there. And 247 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: then you're doing other stuff you don't like, and then 248 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: you experience these moments that you have when you were 249 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: doing theater as a kid, or when you were doing 250 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: some athletic Those moments when you encounter that dotted point 251 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: is when you were lining up with your actual ultimate 252 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: calling gifting. It was in a sense, it was a 253 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: taste of utilizing one hundred percent of your dormant potential 254 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: to do something ultimately. But you know you wish you 255 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: you could stay in that zone. Well, there's some challenges. 256 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: For one thing, you have to monetize that zone. If 257 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: you don't get paid to do it, then you can't 258 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: go there. That is called a hobby. But what I 259 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: want you to catch is it's possible for you to 260 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: be able to enter into living in that and that's 261 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: when you are fulfilling your calling. And God releases people 262 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: to their calling in phases. And what I said so 263 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: far is you have a sovereign foundation. Your time and history, 264 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: your gender, your birth, your your skin color, your family 265 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: of origin, all are uniquely packaged into the factors that 266 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: go into your unique DNA, your design. Spiritual formation is 267 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: the values formation. What's important, what's right, what's wrong. As 268 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: a Christian, it's the beginning of the foundation of the 269 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: integrity of your walk with God, and you're working out 270 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: the ultimate priority of how you understand the Kingdom of 271 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: God and how it applies to you. Then we move 272 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: into a ministry maturity, which really in the workplace. If 273 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: you're not in ministry, you're actually in the place where 274 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: your gifts, talents and abilities are being discovered. You discover 275 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: that I do really good with management, I do really 276 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: good with people. I do really good at idea and design, 277 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: or writing or directing or communicating. But you might also 278 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: find it you're more of an analyst, you're more of 279 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: a thinker, you're more of a re finer, you're more 280 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 1: of a scholar. But your gift discovering and development happens 281 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: in this stage. And what happens here is when you're 282 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: doing what ultimately corresponds to your convergence, people want more 283 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: of it. So life has a way of letting you 284 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: know you're on the right track. If you're singing and 285 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: nobody wants to buy your music, it might be that 286 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: you're called to be a producer of music, not the 287 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: entertainer or the songwriter. My point is this, when you're 288 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: doing what you're gifted to do in your gift phase, 289 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: you end up getting more opportunities to do it. The 290 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: more you practice, the more you head towards convergence. But 291 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: then there's this life maturing problem. This is I'm gonna 292 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: put a little smoke smoke right there, because this is 293 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: when a lot of people feel frustrated because they're not 294 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: making the money. Other people aren't giving them the app opportunity. 295 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: This is where you have jobs and you lose jobs, 296 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: You have relationships, you burn them out, maybe you do 297 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: something unethical, and this is the learning experience, right, this 298 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: is where life teaches you. Ultimately, it's the school of discovery. 299 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: But as you mature, working in different companies, working with 300 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: different people, realizing what works what doesn't, you find that 301 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: twenty percent. That's is the part that's kind of interesting 302 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: to me. Twenty percent get the convergence. What does that mean? 303 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: That means that eighty percent, a full eighty percent, actually 304 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: quit the process. And there are different reasons why people 305 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: quit the process, and it's tragic when when you have 306 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: a vision for what you want to do and you 307 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: give up on it, what do you do next? And 308 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: so sometimes it's lack of support. It could be that 309 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: in terms of spiritual formation, you haven't found the people. 310 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: This is where the church comes in so powerfully. You 311 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: haven't found the people, you haven't found the mentor, and 312 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: you haven't found the models. What does that tell you? 313 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: It tells you that somebody has to show you how 314 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: the game works. Someone has to take you by the 315 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: hand and say, son, soundsign you're doing this the wrong way. 316 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: Here's the formula for the sequence of persuasion that sells online. 317 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: Here's the way that you construct a broadcast so that 318 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: it's powerful and compelling. Here's the way that you get 319 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: distribution for a powerful and compelling broadcast. You never understood distribution, 320 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: did you, kid, So like, you need to have those 321 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: relationships in your life. You need to be teachable so 322 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: that you can learn from them, and then you need 323 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: to take that into the package of building the character 324 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: to sustain the calling. Now, I when you get to 325 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: this phase of life maturing, it seems like you're never 326 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: going to get to convertis But what happens is catchness word. 327 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: It's called divine appointments. What happens is God will set 328 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: up the chance encounters as you surrender your life to him. 329 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: He will put you in front of the right place, 330 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: at the right time, with the right people. How do 331 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: you know that you're in the convergence zone? So I 332 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: showed you earlier over here this illustration of you could 333 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: be doing a lot of different work, but when you 334 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: hit this sweet spot right here, ooh, when you're there, 335 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: you know you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. 336 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: This is my calling and here's how you know the 337 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: micro convertences. You've experienced the moments when you've been when 338 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: you've tasted your future. And I got some notes on 339 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: this because this is so important. During your thirties and forties, 340 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: you're going through microker you're getting a taste of where 341 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: you're ultimately going. Most convergence, by the way, and Clinton's 342 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: research happened after fifty So if you're it doesn't mean 343 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: you don't achieve great things when you're younger. It means 344 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: that for a lot of younger men, their ultimate purpose 345 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: isn't how much money they made. You got tech billionaires 346 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties still don't know what the 347 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: heck their life is, what they're called to do on 348 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: their second or third marriage, have kids that are in 349 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: multiple genders. So success really is when you've got the 350 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: integrated life, when you're doing the thing God called you 351 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: to do and you're bearing fruit that remains. It's something 352 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: which you want to build on. So let me give 353 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: you some characteristics of the zone. When you hit it, 354 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: it's a place where you're aligned with the harmonic convergence 355 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: what God called you to do, which means that just 356 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: like the race car goes silent when it hits maximum 357 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: perfect what it's designed to do. At the high speed, 358 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: you will experience something called timeless awareness. You will lose 359 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: all sense of the clock. The clock becomes a mystery 360 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: to you. You spend hours doing this thing. Chess people 361 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: that are engaged as chess masters they literally to spend 362 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: six hours, or a concert pianist with music, or a 363 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: gymnast you are a martial artist. The hours that they 364 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: spend they lose track of time. Because when you're in 365 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: the zone of what is touching on your eternal DNA, 366 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: you lose temporal time, and so you're not aware of time. 367 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: Where did time do? I ask a great conversation, Wow, man, 368 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: I can't believe it's over already. You also experience the 369 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: future you. That's the person on the inside, That person 370 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: there is not the person who's over here. Over Here, 371 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: you got to schlep around and do something else all 372 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: day for work, But over here that's who I really am. 373 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: You feel more authentic when you're in that place. You 374 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: feel like, this is me, this is what I'm really 375 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: meant to do, and it liberates you with more energy 376 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: because you don't have to put on a mask, don't 377 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: have to like because it's really authentically who you are. 378 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent alive, obviously, because you're using one 379 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: hundred percent of your latent capacity. So all your talents 380 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: and gifts are humming. The engine is moving at two 381 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: hundred and forty miles an hour. People like I said 382 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: you before, people want more. When you're doing that what 383 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: you gifted to do. People want more of what you're doing, 384 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: and the challenge is figure out how to monetize the 385 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: talent so that you can pay the bills to stay 386 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: in the convergence zone. And so those electric moments have 387 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: happened in your past, and I'm wondering when in your 388 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: history have you had this happen. This is why we 389 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: have a course by the way, I do training on 390 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: this stuff, because this is the point where I would 391 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: have you in my class and say, what did you 392 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: gravitate to growing up? Who were you drawn to? Was 393 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: it the intellectuals or the jocks, or the or the 394 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: or the party crowd, or was it the theater crowd? 395 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: Or were you alone? Did you prefer to hang out 396 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: with just one or two people? And when were you 397 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: most alive growing up? What one job that you did 398 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: in your history did you enjoy most, and what memories 399 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: jump out to you about that job? What was the 400 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 1: part that you like. I had a job I liked 401 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: so much. It was a sales job, working behind a 402 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: counter at a big jewelry store, and I loved it 403 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: so much. I love the team. I love helping people 404 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: get what they needed. That I'll tell you how nutty 405 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: I was. I worked on Saturdays when I was only 406 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: supposed to show up Friday, and I volunteered freely to work, 407 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: So I love the environment. It tells you something. Convertence 408 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: is achieved by the twenty percent who have the right 409 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of knowledge about what they do well. My people 410 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: perish for lack of knowledge is a Bible verse. Here's 411 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: the good news for you. Convertence happens after fifty but 412 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: it's never too late to start. It's never too late 413 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: to become who you already are, never too late to 414 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: do what you're called to do. You just have to 415 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: unpack the process. I want you to go to Lance 416 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: wallet dot com forward slash wheel and it's gonna I'm 417 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: gonna give you the next step in the process for free. 418 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: My mission in life is to equip people to do 419 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: what they're called to do. If you have to figure 420 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: that out, and uh, it'll explain to you how I 421 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: unpack where you've been where you are to take you 422 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: where you want to go. All right, and the next segment, 423 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: we're going to break apart the constituent elements of what 424 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: you have to measure at this point in your journey 425 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: towards the convergence zone. 426 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: The Lance Wall Now show will return right after this break. 427 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: All right, Today's subject is you, and what we've been 428 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: talking about so far is the patterns and stages and 429 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: phases that lead to that rare twenty percent of people 430 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: that are able to get into the harmonic alignment with 431 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: their ultimate calling and a sign where they get paid 432 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: to do what they love to do most and what 433 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: they do best, eighty percent of people don't get there. 434 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Twenty percent do. I want you to start to look 435 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: at your life now. In spite of all the chaos 436 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: going on around you in the world, the only thing 437 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: you actually have power over is you. So rather than 438 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: obsessing about they need to do this and they need 439 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: to do that. That's the American you know, obsession right 440 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: now is what other people need to do. But actually 441 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 1: your destiny is going to be determined by what you 442 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: do with what God gave you to do. That's why 443 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm focusing on this. And for many of you, you're 444 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: watching this like on many watching this on a Sunday, 445 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: and it's good because today's supposed to be your Sabbath. 446 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: It's all about you and God and the things that 447 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: matter most. So let's talk about that. You're in the 448 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: in the period of your life that you're in right now. 449 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: You ought to be entering into a season where you're 450 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: doing knowing what matters most. And what I would say is, 451 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: let's take a look at a mountain as a great metaphor, 452 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: what you want to do is to be at the top. 453 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: In the Hebrew, I guess it's in the Book of Numbers, 454 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: the Lord says to the Jewish people, I call you 455 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: to be the head and up the tail above en up, 456 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: and he's far better to be at the front of 457 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: the dog sled than looking at the butt of the 458 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: dog in front of you. So there's a natural desire 459 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: we have to be at the summit, the top of 460 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: what we are called to do, to feel without regret 461 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: that we haven't left unused opportunity and potential and purpose 462 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: on the field, that we're utilizing one hundred percent of 463 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: what God gave us to do. Remember this, for the believer, 464 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: there is always this ultimate realization that we will all 465 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: give an account of our self for our life to 466 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: the Lord. That's what sanctifies a Christian. That's what keeps 467 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: a Christian from committing crimes. It doesn't matter who sees you. 468 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: God sees you, and so it's a built in policing department. 469 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: But you ought to have that same conscientiousness on what 470 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: God's purpose is, because when you stand before Jesus, he 471 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: designed you with a destiny of mind, and he gave 472 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: you certain opportunities and certain gifts to fulfill. I'm going 473 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: to suggest to you that it was Maslow actually who 474 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: kind of got me thinking about this whole thing about 475 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: actualized living. Abraham Maslow, the Jewish father of modern psychology, 476 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: which was instead of looking at neurosisays like Young and 477 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: Freud like does you hate your mother? Your father? You 478 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: have an Oedipus complex this and that, Maslow said, isn't 479 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: there any healthy psychology out there? I mean, most people 480 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: are not like a basket case needing a shrink. Most 481 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: people are just trying to sort out life. And he 482 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: came up with a positive kind of a framework for 483 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: most people. And he said, you know, the ultimate goal 484 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: is for a person to be living actualized. And it's 485 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: interesting as a Jewish man, I don't know what the 486 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: Greek theology shaped him, but he's an actualization is when 487 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: you're utilizing one hundred percent of your latent potential and 488 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: a cause that is transcendent and bigger than survival. In 489 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: other words, instead of why am I going to get 490 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: my next meal? And how can I keep that tribe 491 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: away from my farm? If you're living for a greater 492 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: cause and a transcendent purpose, utilizing your skills one hundred percent, 493 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: so you're fully alive doing what you have agency to do. 494 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: That's the actualized place. And then Maslow discovered certain stages 495 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: that precede that, And the first part of that is survival. 496 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's impossible for me to focus on my 497 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: actualized purpose, destiny and contribution to mankind when there is 498 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: a tribe that is trying to rape my wife and 499 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: steal my harvest. So survival becomes the foundation. And then 500 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: and then Maslow created and I don't want to get 501 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: into it now. It's another purpose that I teach you to 502 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: go into the phases of actualization. But I got this 503 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: idea that really actualization is when you're spending most of 504 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: your time doing what you do best and you love 505 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: to do most, for a purpose that has meaning. Can 506 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: I give you a better definition for a great life 507 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: than doing what you do best and love to do most, 508 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: and that has connection to a purpose that has meaning 509 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: And the only thing we've got to figure out to do 510 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: is how to get paid for it. So what am 511 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I talking about. I'm talking about a thing called career convergence. 512 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: Career convergence is when you're actually paid. Either you have 513 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: partners if you're in ministry like the Apostle Paul, that 514 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: are helping to fund it, or you have a company 515 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 1: that's paying, or you create an enterprise. But what it 516 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: does is it enables you to take your time and 517 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: put your hours in the day doing what you love 518 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: to do most and what you do best that has 519 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: meaning and eternity. Career vergence. So when I talk about convergence, 520 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: I mean I want you to be to the place 521 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: where you can spend forty to fifty hours a week 522 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: doing what you love to do most, the thing you 523 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: do best, for the purpose that has the greatest eternal significance. 524 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: That makes sense. So if this is career convergence, and 525 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: there's a way you're living in a country, you're living 526 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: in America, you don't have to be living down here 527 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: in the survival zone. You can actually work your way 528 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: up to the place where you're doing the work that 529 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: you're called to do. Now, the only thing that could 530 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: mess that up. Here's where we go is you have 531 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: to draw on a thing called personal capacity. What is 532 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: personal capacity? Well, it's going to take a certain amount 533 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: of energy for you to do this thing that you 534 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: want to do, and that means that you have to 535 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: have the health to be able to do It also 536 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: means that you have to have the money to be 537 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: able to underwrite your lifestyle while you do the thing 538 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: that you're called to do. It also means that you're 539 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: not going to do this alone. You're going to have 540 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: to have relationships. The bigger the assignment, the more you're 541 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: going to need. Even if you're an author and a 542 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: reclusion an artist. You need a recording studio, you need 543 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: a manager, you need what it's going to market it. 544 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: You need a publisher, you need a distribution. You're going 545 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: to have to have relational capacity. And lord knows, it's 546 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: not just relationships, but the majority of you are going 547 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: to have a wife. You're going to have a husband, 548 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: You're going to have children, You're going to have grandchildren. 549 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: What am I doing here? I say your personal capacity 550 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: is the sum total of the factors that go into 551 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: making up the entire wheel of your life. And depending 552 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: on the strength and the health of this wheel will 553 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: determine how long you can sustain yourself in the conversion zone. 554 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: How am I going to be able to drive that 555 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: car all the way to the top of that mountain. 556 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: When the wheel of my health is falling off, when 557 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: the wheel of my finances is a myth, when I've 558 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: got strife on the team that needs to get me 559 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: to the top, or when my family's falling apart. You 560 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: see what I'm talking about. How about your uh, what 561 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: are the factors that go into personal capacity? Catch this 562 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: equals career convergence. You can't sustain yourself on the top 563 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: of the mountain. I don't care if even if you're 564 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: doing what you love to do best. And this happens 565 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: if you're actually doing that while you're dealing with the 566 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: disintegration of your team, or a lawsuit or a divorce, 567 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: or you're having to go for that check up with 568 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: the doctor still worrying about your stress level, those things, 569 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: trust me, will begin to pull you down the mountain 570 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: to a lower level of actualizations. That totally makes sense 571 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: to me. Personal capacity equals career capacity. Thank you, Lance. Therefore, 572 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: I've designed for you, for all of you, something which 573 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: everyone needs. I'm talking about this. You may have seen 574 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: these before, but you've not seen it the way I'm 575 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: going to show it to you. Because your personal capacity 576 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: here is measurable and you know what it is, and 577 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: you want to do an inventory on what it is. 578 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: So it has to do with on a scale of 579 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: one to ten. Let's say two is here and ten 580 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: is here. Are you in career convergence? Is it an 581 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: actualized level ten life? This is where I teach my 582 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: level ten course? Is your A lot of people are 583 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: at a spiritual life. They're really happy spiritually, but I've 584 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: seen this happen, but they have they have no one 585 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: to share their life with. So let me share how 586 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: this works. Oh, I really love what I'm doing lands 587 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: for work, which is not always true, and I'm spiritually happy, 588 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: but right now I don't have the finances and I 589 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: got a big void in the area of romance. In fact, 590 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: my marriage is on a downslope right now we're married, 591 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: but when the kids leave the house, he's already talking about, 592 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, let's do us from traveling alone. In other words, 593 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: your wheel that we love life goes around and around. 594 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: If you're going to be in that racetrack, you need 595 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: to have some of those wheels perfectly balanced and connected. 596 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: So what do I want to do. I want to 597 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: take this thing and look at this full color technic 598 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: color version. And what I want to do is I 599 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: want you to begin to look at your life as 600 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: the wheel and I'll send this to you. I mean, 601 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: you know the categories. I picked family and friends because 602 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: you need to have a well round talking about the 603 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: emotional health of your life. Your personal capacity is right there, 604 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: and that equals your capacity for career convergence. That's where 605 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: I want to go. We're going to come back in 606 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: the next module and put this together for you. 607 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 2: The Lance Wallnow Show will return right after this break. 608 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: All right, this is the fourth installment of this training 609 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing on It's really coming from a course that 610 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: I work on called your Ultimate Life Strategy. And what 611 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: we've said so far is that you were designed for 612 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: a purpose and you'll be alive to the degree that 613 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: you're doing the thing you're called to do. And ultimately, 614 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: God did not design your life so it would be 615 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: frustration just barely getting by or surviving. You are the 616 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: most alive, let's admit it. When you're doing what you're 617 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: gifted to do, and you're funded or paid to do 618 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: what you love to do. Most you want to be great. 619 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: Of course, the problem is you might like phishing and 620 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: no one's going to pay you to go fishing. So 621 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: what you want to think about is what is it 622 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: that I'm ultimately called to do? Now becoming the question 623 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: of God's purpose, God's calling, God's assignment. And what I've 624 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 1: said so far is that convergence or the word convergence 625 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: describes that unique moment of the intersection of when your gifts, talents, 626 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 1: and acquired skills are sucked into the vortex of God 627 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: inviting you to join him in what He planned for 628 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 1: you to do all along. The moment you step into 629 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: a prophetic alignment with what you were born to do, 630 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: you activate one hundred percent actualized capacity to use all 631 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: of what you've learned, all of what you've got in 632 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: the context of doing the thing God called you to do. 633 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: And it's an exhilarating place to be. So here's what 634 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: I've said so far that if we look at it 635 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: like a picture, well we'll go this way. Let's say 636 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: you've got this is the mountain of your personal capacity. 637 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: This is your PC right here. Personal capacity is the 638 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: sum total of your just go with the most important 639 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: parts of it your health, your financial resources, and your 640 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: spiritual clarity, your walk with God. Then of course, you 641 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 1: have to have the emotional ability, the emotional capacity to endure, 642 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: to be patient, to be resilient, to persist the state 643 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: with what you've got to do. Try running without having 644 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: the financial resources, or walking without the grace of God, 645 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: or not having the emotional capacity you're getting burned out. 646 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: Try being in a job you hate, you don't like, 647 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: spending four hours a week doing what you don't have 648 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 1: conversions in, and then have yourself notice these things do matter. 649 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: How can you this is your personal capacity. I'm putting 650 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: your personal capacity up here at the level ten, all 651 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: the way down to a five, to a three, to 652 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: a one. You want to be right there in the 653 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: level ten personal capacity? Why? Well, because if your marriage 654 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: is falling apart, if you're single and unfulfilled, they keep 655 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: having lousy dates and bad selection of boyfriends or women. 656 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: If your children are out of whack, and you've got 657 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: a child that's dealing with addiction or something, these things 658 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: will throw you out in terms of personal capacity. Why 659 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: Because your personal capacity, I'm saying, is design as the 660 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: resource that fuels you in the performance of what I 661 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: will call the convergence zone, which is career convergence. This 662 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: is forty plus hours a week where you're doing what 663 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: makes you the most alive, utilizing your talents in a 664 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: way that makes a difference. Your personal capacity well equal 665 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: your career or convergence capacity. And if your personal capacity 666 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: goes down, makes sense right that if your personal capacity 667 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: is here, I mean you RaSE this part and let's 668 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: just put it this way. If your personal capacity is 669 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: down here, how are you going to sustain yourself at 670 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: that level when you don't have the energy, the jews, 671 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: the health, the finances, the marriage, the support system and 672 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: I haven't even dealt with these three things look like 673 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: they're optional, but I mean recreation, which is the renewal 674 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: of your creative energy. How much of your capacity here 675 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: is based on your ability to innovate the thing, to 676 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: be fresh, to look at things in a new direction. 677 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: So you see, you can't afford to not pay attention 678 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: to this part here. So let's say you've got your 679 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: finances isn't an issue, but your marriage is well here, 680 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: use your finances to buy time to get away and 681 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: focus on building the relationship or building the relationship here. Well, 682 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: let's say, well, brother, that'd be nice if I had 683 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: the money. I don't have that. Okay, Well, hold on 684 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: a second. You do have relationships, family and friends, right, 685 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: and maybe what you want to do is you want 686 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: to go to them and see what you can do 687 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: to build up What do they know about health or 688 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: fitness or about lifestyle? Pick the healthiest, most dynamic friend 689 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: you gave me. Surprised how my people perish for lack 690 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: of knowledge? And you can take any of your strengths 691 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: here and go to your relationships and see how can 692 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: I leverage what I've got here. What I'm doing here 693 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: is working, but it could be that your career is 694 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: hurting because I would take the time off then to 695 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: be able to start to explore what am I really 696 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: gifted and called to do? When have I been the 697 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: most alive? What I'm saying is the wheel of life 698 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 1: that you do enables you to do a forensic analysis 699 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: of the areas in your life that you want to 700 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: improve in order to have greater capacity. And you can 701 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: take and borrow from strengths to invest in where something's missing. 702 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: Does that makes sense to you? I remember, for instance, 703 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,800 Speaker 1: how I was. I had a problem where I needed 704 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: a I needed an office, I mean my whole office 705 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: here that I'm in the studio I'm working with right 706 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: now didn't exist. And the Lord said to me, your 707 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: wheel of life is really weak, unrest and unrenewal, and 708 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: on family and on marriage. You've been poured out over 709 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: here in spirit and work. I want you to do 710 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: this vacation, I said, Lord, I got all these employees, 711 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: our office lease is up. We don't know where we're going. 712 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: The Lord said, trust the word, so I obeyed him. 713 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 1: I went on vacation and I took it was a 714 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and I wanted to get away out 715 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: of the United States with me and have the kids visit. 716 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 1: All right, while I was on vacation, the studio property appeared. 717 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 1: One could ask, had I stayed home and said, it's 718 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: not practical for me to go on vacation. I need 719 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: to find an office for the team, and so I 720 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: can't do it right now. I might have missed the office, 721 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: I might have missed this property, But the property appeared 722 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: while I was on vacation, because God has a process. 723 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: In fact, I'm gonna I'm going to simplify this even further. 724 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: Let me move that up there in my magic board. 725 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you the work That was 726 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: done by a guy named Tuckman. What Tuckman did was 727 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: he discovered four phases of a group. Now, I want 728 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 1: you to think about this in your life. You've gone 729 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: through at least. I'm going to show you a cycle 730 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: of experience that has gone into your whole life journey. 731 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: I want you to begin to decode you're calling your 732 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: destiny and your assignment. Tuckman said that groups go through 733 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: four phases, and I noticed those four phases are actually 734 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: what you go through in the Bible. Christians go through 735 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 1: these four faces. We're going to show what the four 736 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: phases are. The first stage is called the group forming. 737 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: So this is when people come together and I want 738 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: you to think about your own life. That's the stage 739 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: where you set the ground rolls for what you're going 740 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: to do. Now tell me if you've had this happen 741 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 1: to you in two minutes, I got to go through this. 742 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: Then you hit the storming stage. The storming stage is 743 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: when differences show up, power plays take place. Who's in control? 744 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: Who does what I do that you do that? This 745 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: is normal. Christians go through this more predictably than anybody. 746 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: Churches go through. During the third stage, you come into 747 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: the norming stage. Suddenly the group discovers how they're going 748 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,800 Speaker 1: to operate. Some people get fired, some people get promoted, 749 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: and we finally have the team functioning the way it 750 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: needs to function. And only then do you hit the 751 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: performing stage. And so I looked at this and I said, 752 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: wait a second, these stages and these phases actually apply 753 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 1: to four faise is a destiny in a person's life. 754 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: And as I looked at it more closely, oh wait, 755 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 1: there's a fifth stage. And this is called a journeying. 756 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: I like how how he gave it a nice word, adjourneying, 757 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: because the other the word for it is it ends 758 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: that all groups have an ending. All phases in your 759 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: career and in your life have an ending. But now 760 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: I want you to come down to this analogy that 761 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: in your life you've had these stages here where you 762 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: had a great dream of what you were going to do. 763 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: Think about a period of life when you took a job, 764 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: you got a job, Think about one of those jobs 765 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: and then you took it. Or you wanted to go 766 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: into business, who wanted to start something, and you went 767 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: into distress as soon as you got in it. Hey, 768 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: the dream was maybe a marriage, oe, this, this is 769 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a lovely thing, got the romance in your head, 770 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: and then you wake up with crying babies and bills 771 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: to pay, and you find out you're heading more towards divorce. 772 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: Nobody starting, Nobody gets married and plans on this. But 773 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 1: this is where it's gonna go. So it could be 774 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: a job, it could be a ministry experience. But if 775 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: it's one of those four phases in your life that 776 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: you've gone through this, you went through distress, and then 777 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: if you stuck with it, you went through development. You 778 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: came out and grew as a result of the experience. 779 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: You came out maybe you learned something about yourself after 780 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 1: the bad relationship, about your selection criteria, about what you're 781 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: really looking for, about who you really are and what 782 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: you really need. And then you can come into a 783 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: relationship that actually starts to be fruitful you start to 784 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: demonstrate it, or you get the dream job and you 785 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: find out the bosses are real pain to work with 786 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: the job as a lot of crazy customers, hours you 787 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: never thought about. But you mature and develop and how 788 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 1: you're going to handle it, and then you begin These 789 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: four phases are the four phases you go through in 790 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: life on different phases. Now, why am I showing you that? 791 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: Because when you look at that picture, if you shrink 792 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: it down, you look at this, these phases and your 793 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: personal capacity all come into play. What I want you 794 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:07,439 Speaker 1: to think about is how these processes actually have come 795 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: together to bring you to an ultimate life phase where 796 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 1: the dream for your next chapter gets clear and you're 797 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: ready for what follows. I'm going to talk to you 798 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: about how to architect the next five years of your life, 799 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: and you'll know exactly what the plan looks like, and 800 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: you'll have a personal capacity to be able to do 801 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 1: what you're ultimately called to do. Remember that's lancewallat dot com. 802 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: Forward slash wheel starts here. Where there's a will, there's 803 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: a way. All right. I'm going to come back to 804 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: you with another episode and we're going to dig down 805 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: on this because I never got to the bottom of this, 806 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 1: which is what happens at every phase.
