Speaker 1: I have driven on the coast so many days, and

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: or had my parents drive me on the coast so

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: many days, listening to your choosing voice with me on

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: the phone lines. Is the amazingly talented, incredibly successful, hundred

7

00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: And also just a just a normal human being. That's

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: what's most important. You know, you're the record folks, and

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: everybody the producers sent me all this these facts about you.

12
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Know you're amazing success. But I love the fact that

13
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: whenever I see you on any show or anything, you

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: seem so down to earth and reel. Well. I put

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: my pants on one leg at a time, just like

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: everybody else. Um, I can't fly, and you know I

17
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: won't make it out here alive. So I think all

18
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: those reminders you know, level me every day. But I

19
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,080

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: it and I love sharing it, and I love making

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: people happy. I think that makes me really happy to

22
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: make other people happy, but um, I really feel very normal.

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: And also I'm sometimes just completely surprised by all of this.

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Not surprised because I work really really hard, but just

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: like super grateful. Right, Well, you do work very, very hard,

Speaker 1: It's not just one one look or one scene. It's

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: going to be like, uh, you know some of my

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: heroes like well Disney, just like bringing a whole difference

37
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: to real world to an arena. So it's super fun.

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: So the album is Witness and we're we started playing

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a song off of it a couple of weeks ago.

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: Janey sent it to me and she said, de stir

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: because I'm in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful man

42
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: and we're married and I love him. Deeply. But before

43
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: all that, I was in a situation let's just leave

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: it at that. And she sent me the single save

45
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: a draft. He's like, you got to listen to this song.

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: And I listened to it and I'm like, oh my gosh,

47
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: how many times did I do that? You write the words,

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: you come up with the letter, what you're gonna say,

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: how you're going to say it, so they finally understand

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: how much you love them and it all works out.

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I know, And you know, I've been in that cycle

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: before in a relationship and it had kind of re

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: ignited the relationship. And um, there's only so many times

54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: you can reignite the relationship or want to or should

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just need to write it and never

56
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: send it. It's just that exercise, you know, that cathartic exercise. Um,

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: you shouldn't press send. It's like a lesson in self control,

58
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: you know what. That's what best friends are for. Yeah,

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: you do send it to your your best friend. For

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: my producer, Janey has been my best friend for almost

61
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: thirty years and she knows me through and through. And

62
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean that when I say that, because she was

63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the birth and coach for my two bio babies. Um,

64
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: but we have a packed, we have a life packed.

65
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: You do not hit send until you send it to

66
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: your best friend exactly. I mean, I like, I like, um,

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: drafting and then sleeping on it because you know, for me,

68
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: my emotions get very heightened in the evening. I don't

69
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: know everybody else, it's just like one of those things.

70
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: And then in the morning when I wake up, I'm like, oh,

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I didn't send that. I can get

72
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, I can get through another day without this situation,

73
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: and in nighttime comes around and that's why my show

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: is so successful. Yeah. Well, I mean, by the way,

75
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: I've been listening to you my whole life, um, and

76
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: your voice is it's so soothing and I think everybody

77
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: feels really safe listening to you. Um. It's uh. Many

78
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: a coast drives from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara have

79
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: been had just listening to you speak. So you're kind

80
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of like a bit of a meditation. So thank you

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: so much for everything you do and how calm you

82
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: keep us all. Thank you. But you know what it's

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: true about our emotions. They are heightened at night. That's

84
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: when addictions kick in. That's when your destructive habits kick in.

85
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: That's when that's when asthma people who are asthmatics. I

86
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: have a daughter who's severe asthmatic. That's when you're asthma

87
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: reactions kick in is late at night. And so that

88
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that God has me here

89
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: at night, because that's when the monsters crawl out from

90
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: under the bed and you you hit sinned. Yeah, I know. Well,

91
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad for you. So seriously, part of part of

92
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: your mission is I'm guessing, especially from the lyrics of

93
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the new songs on your new album, is to help

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: people realize how empowered they are and how blessed they are.

95
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: And I'm reading the lyrics and I'm just devouring them,

96
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: and I have to ask you this. The lyrics of

97
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: a couple of your new songs, UM talks about how

98
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: you've had to fight for the right to be true

99
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: to who you are, yes authenticity. So I was going

100
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to ask who who? And I don't I'm not asking

101
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: you to tattle tale or name names, but what situations

102
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: for young women, especially who are listening. I have seven daughters, UM,

103
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: what situations have you been in where you now can

104
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: look back and go, thank god I was true to myself.

105
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Thank God I didn't let them control me or steal

106
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: me or make me into something else. Yeah. I mean,

107
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I think it's really prevalent in all the social media

108
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: interactions these days. I think, um, you know, uh, it's

109
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: it seems small, but I think it's a big exercise

110
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to kind of step away from your phone and from

111
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: your Instagram and from posting or like, you know, I

112
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: think we're all in this cycle of trying to like

113
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: take a picture of everything and then doctor it up

114
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: or make our lives look so fabulous or keep you know,

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: keep up with these appearances or you know, keeping up

116
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: with the Joneses or whatever, and it's not real, and

117
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: it's making everyone so really, um lonely and disconnected. And

118
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: they think they're being connected because they're getting the like

119
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: so they're getting the comments. But um, I just encourage

120
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: people to set their phone down and actually, you know,

121
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: have real community with their friends, or try and go

122
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: on a hike and leave their phone in the car,

123
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: or um you know, socialized but not socialized on the internet.

124
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Because I think that we're getting really caught up in

125
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: um creating this alternate reality that we could never keep

126
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: up with this idea of perfection. Um. And I think

127
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: it's making young people, especially young girls, feel more insecure

128
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: than ever. Um and uh. I think I did this

129
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: experiment where I went four days um live streaming on

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: YouTube and I showed everything. I showed, UM all this

131
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: it all of the dark circles, the good, the bad,

132
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: the ugly. You know, people think pop stars or like

133
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: people in Hollywood are perfect. They're really not. They're really

134
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: just normal. And I don't. I don't want to be perfect,

135
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: and I don't want to show that kind of thing off.

136
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: And UM, I think there's really really real beauty in

137
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the imperfection. And um, I want to encourage that imperfectious

138
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: that okaynus with imperfection in young people. I think that

139
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: social media is kind of a real dark place. An

140
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: even though like you know, I have a hundred million

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: people on the winter following me, which is hilarious, I

142
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: say that, but it's I go on there and and

143
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: I just it's like a lot of people that are

144
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: arguing and not really talking with each other. They're talking

145
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: at each other, and like you go on, you make

146
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: a statement and or you like argue with the person

147
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: that you know, like, would you say those things to

148
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: those people when you meet them? Would you say them

149
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: to their face? You know, we live in this unaccountable

150
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: phase online which is really really strange. So, um, I

151
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: just I like I encourage community more. Um Like, I'm

152
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: doing a real interactive um thing with the Boys and

153
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: Girls Club of America all over America during my tour

154
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: where um my fans get the opportunity to instead of

155
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: buying a ticket, they can earn the ticket through volunteering

156
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: or doing a good deed through the Boys and Girls

157
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: Called of America Because I think the kids there are

158
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: the future they are and you know, if those kids

159
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: that young can um learn the right thing the right

160
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: ways and have better tools, than we're gonna have a

161
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: better future. But if everyone just logs onto Instagram, I'm like,

162
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm out, even even though like I posed, But you know,

163
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Boys and Girls Club

164
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: just a little bit more because not only can they

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: earn their ticket, but a dollar of every ticket sold

166
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: for your for your Witness tour goes to the Boys

167
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: and Girls clubs locally. Right, absolutely, Yeah, that's wonderful, thank you. No,

168
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: I mean here's the thing is like it's over a

169
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years old and it's tried and true. UM,

170
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: I think people forget that there's a boys and girls

171
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: club around the corner from basically every one, and UM

172
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: that they can get involved there. You know, they don't

173
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: have to start a new organization. And if they do,

174
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: that's great too. But UM, a lot of people, I

175
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: think right now, they're like, well, we've done the donate thing.

176
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: How can I really give my time? How can I

177
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: really give my energy? How can I actually have a

178
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: real interaction with a person? You know, how can I

179
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: touch a heart and UM learn and gives you know,

180
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to just click. I don't want to

181
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: just click a button on the internet anymore. I really

182
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: want to go out there and do it myself. My

183
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: whole mission right now for me is like I do

184
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: have that feeling of like wanting to change the world.

185
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: And I know I have a lot of spotlight UM

186
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: and advantage and privilege and et cetera. But like, if

187
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: I can't even change myself, how can I change the world?

188
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Or if I can't even affect you know, the people

189
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: I work with, UM on a day to day basis,

190
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: how can I change the world, or like even living

191
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I'm like, oh, I want to change

192
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the world, or I want to go to you know,

193
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: crazy places in the world and affect it. But like,

194
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: the homeless rate in Los Angeles is crazier than ever.

195
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: If you turn one wrong corner downtown, it looks like

196
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: a refugee camp and you're and I'm thinking to myself, wait,

197
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: hold on, maybe I just need to help in my

198
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: own neighborhood, in my own community. The Boys and Girls

199
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: Club is such a great way to do that because,

200
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: like you said, they're tried and true. They've been around forever,

201
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: and the good they do transforms lives. If you can

202
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: get a hold of a kid when they're eight or

203
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: nine or ten and give them a sense of self

204
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: worth and a sense of family, so they don't join

205
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: the gang, they don't you know, start using, they don't

206
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: start drinking and drugging at twelve or fifteen. They don't start,

207
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, disrespecting their bodies and using their bodies for whatever.

208
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Then you you you didn't just impact a child, You

209
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: just saved a life. Yeah, I agree with you, And

210
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be what, you know, like my purposes

211
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: on this next tour on the Witness the tour, UM,

212
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: it's just to see people and to witness them and

213
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: to hear their story and to connect with them, UM

214
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: and help them and encourage them in any way possible

215
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: I can um, whether it's just to be there physically

216
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: or uh, just to hear them, to give them that

217
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: moment um I don't know, just like you know, make

218
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: them feel like they do exist, that they are special,

219
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: they do have a purpose. Just overall encouragement. I'm so excited.

220
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to boys and Growth clubs all

221
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: across America and um really learn kind of what the

222
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: state of America is right now and really meet the

223
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: people and really connect with them. That's my goal and

224
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: my purpose for this next tour. The song that we're

225
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: playing right now, um You is fun and wonderful and

226
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: helpful when we're angst NG. But the song that touched

227
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: me the deepest when I listened to the each song

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: on the new album really is the title cut Witness.

229
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Oh Great. That says it all. That's to me. That's

230
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: the whole philosophy of my faith and my life wrapped

231
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: up in just a few words, so beautifully. So thank you.

232
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: For that. We're all here just to be connected. That's

233
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: what we want so badly, Like at the end of

234
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: the day, we just want to be seen. We just

235
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: want to connect. We want to feel loved and like

236
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: feel like we exist. And you know, we do everything,

237
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: like we work so hard, we like grind, we we

238
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: try and make as much money as possible to be seen,

239
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: to be connected, maybe even with one individual when we

240
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: lay our head down at the pillow at night, we

241
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: just want to like we want to connect to that person,

242
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: you know. And I think it's as simple as that,

243
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Like human connection is what we're here for. I had

244
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: a path st that gave a two part sermon probably

245
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: thirty forty years ago. He doesn't even remember it because

246
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: I brought it up to him a couple of times.

247
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: His name is Mike McCorkle, and his message was in

248
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: two parts. In the first part, he said when when

249
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I die, he says, I believe when I come face

250
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: to face with my creator, He's going to ask me

251
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: two questions. Number one, what did you do with me

252
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: while you were alive? And number two, what did you

253
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: do with every single person that I put in your

254
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: path to connect with? And so the first weeks, you know,

255
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: talk was about what did you do with me? Did

256
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: you did you make room in your heart for me?

257
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Did you believe in me? And the second part was

258
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: what did you do with every person that I put

259
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: in your path? And he said, people aren't put in

260
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: your path by accident. The person you're setting next to

261
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: on the plane isn't there by accident. And as he

262
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: went through this, I went that Katie, that changed me

263
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: on a cellular level to realize that my whole purpose

264
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: is to share love with the people that God places

265
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: in my life. Absolutely all you can do is just

266
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: be kind time and time again in every circumstance. Just

267
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: be kind and well, like I said when I listened

268
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: to Witness and then I read the lyrics that I went,

269
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: she just she summed it up in like three and

270
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: a half minutes. Beautifully, Thank you, beautifully, No, thank you.

271
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I think, no matter if you're

272
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Joe Schmo or Katy Perry, you just want to connect,

273
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, no matter if you have it all or

274
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: if you don't have anything, you just want to connect. Well,

275
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: you connect with my listeners and you know this, I mean,

276
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: it's in such a huge world. Thank you. I appreciate

277
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: you guys playing Savis draft um and UM. I know

278
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: everyone can resonate with that because we've all been there.

279
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: We've all wanted to send that tech or we have

280
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: and then we realize, oh, now we have to deal

281
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: with that or the email, you know, or the letter.

282
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's just good to sleep on it. The

283
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: line in that song that I cracked up with is

284
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: you don't usually mess around with with coins, but you've been,

285
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, tossing a few. How many times do I

286
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: toss the coin? Okay, if it comes up heads, that

287
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: means I'm supposed to call him. That's what that means. No, no, no, no,

288
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: no right right right, no, I know, HI know. Why

289
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: don't you just listen? Why don't you just listen to

290
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: the green, yellow red light in your heart? If we

291
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: all listen to that more, we would be in a

292
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: better place. Yeah we would. That's the original coin flipper.

293
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: But we don't because we're knuckle heads. And when you love,

294
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: the heart wants what the heart wants. Yeah, I get it.

295
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: I understand. Well, thank you for giving us so much
