Is there any key attribute 44 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 6: that you feel you've taken from his life? You know 45 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 6: from that you go wow that you know that could 46 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 6: apply to everybody. You know something you've learned that could 47 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 6: apply to any A. 48 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: Couple of things, nick One. My dad had a great 49 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: love for people. I think that's what taught gave me 50 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: that compassion to help people, to lift people. You don't 51 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: have to be a minister to do that. But he 52 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: just he took time for people. He saw the best 53 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: in people. Never heard him criticize, but I don't you know, 54 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: We've just found somebody down and out and he just 55 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: he go over and gravitate towards him. He didn't have to, 56 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: but he's always believing in lifting people and encouraging them. 57 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: And I think that's what Lakewood was birthed out of, 58 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: and that got put in me as well, that just 59 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: we're here to encourage somebody to make somebody else's day 60 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: to be a blessing. And it's easy to get busy, 61 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: and hey man, I got enough my own problems. I 62 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: don't want to deal with yours. And you know what 63 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: he taught us to take time for people, To keep 64 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: your heart of compassion over and open it to be 65 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: good to somebody. I think the other thing that that 66 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: would maybe relevant to you it was to me is 67 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 3: my dad was a man of integrity. I saw him 68 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: stay on the high road a lot opportunities to do 69 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: things it wouldn't even have been bad, but he always 70 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 3: took that high road. And I was impressed with his integrity. 71 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: And you know, for God to trust you with more, 72 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 3: you just have to, you know, make good decisions when 73 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: nobody's watching, and do the right thing, and you know 74 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 3: it's worth it to go the extra mile. And hey, 75 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 3: maybe nobody will know about this, and it's an easy shortcut, 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: but I think, you know, people may not see it, 77 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: but God sees it. So when you live with integrity, 78 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: it allows God to entrust you with more. But those 79 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: were a couple characteristics of my father, and just working 80 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: with them all those years, it was interesting. Yeah, I 81 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: would say faithfulness too. I mean, I think, yeah, I 82 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: think that is And I talked about it the other day. 83 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if y'all watched it on Mother's Day, 84 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: but we did a recap because Lakewood's sixty two years 85 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: old on Mother's Day, and so we went back to 86 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: the old church. But I think about See, my dad 87 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: was a Baptist minister for many years before I was born, 88 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: and he left the church in nineteen fifty nine. That 89 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: it was pastoring to start another church because there was 90 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: some there that you know, he thought he had bigger 91 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: things in him. So he went after being a very 92 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: successful pastor, and he started Lakewood and just had ninety people. 93 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: And you probably heard me tell the story. But for 94 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: twelve years Lakewood had less than two hundred people, so 95 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: it didn't really grow. And my dad had pastored these 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: large Baptist churches and he was doing really great. Now 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: it looks like he went from here way down to here. 98 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: But I wasn't born in fifty nine. But growing up, 99 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: you know, I remember my earliest memories are being in 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: church with one hundred people. But I just remember how, 101 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: looking back, how my father was faithful preaching of those 102 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: hundred people like he was preaching to thousands and thousands. 103 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: And I just saw him, you know, a week after week. 104 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: He didn't take off, He never missed his Sunday. He 105 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: was just faithful. And so here's my point. There was 106 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: no growth during that time. But in nineteen seventy three, 107 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: thirteen years later, the church started to grow and it 108 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: went from you know, a couple hundred to a thousand 109 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: to four thousand, you know, too many, many more. But 110 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: I believe that faithfulness. That was a time of testing, 111 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: a time of proving, and I think we all face 112 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: that there are times you're doing the right thing and 113 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: nothing's happening. Joel, I've been believed and I've been doing 114 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: the right thing. It's been six months, it's been a year. 115 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: I've been praying. I don't know how long it's been. 116 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: But you know what, that's a time of testing. It's 117 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: a time of proving. I don't know if i'd be 118 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: here today. I don't think I would if my dad 119 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: would have just lacked off and thought, Okay, I tried, 120 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: and God I was up here, I went down. What happened? 121 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: He just kept being faithful, kept doing the right thing 122 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: when the wrong thing was happening. You don't know how 123 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 3: that's getting you prepared. Every day you passed the test, 124 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: you're getting ready to go higher. You're giving God permission 125 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 3: to do something awesome in your life. So you know, 126 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: I call it the proving seasons and the testing seasons. 127 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: And not to equivalent myself to my dad, but the 128 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: seventeen years I was behind the scenes, I did my 129 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: best to make my dad look good, never even dreaming 130 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: i'd be up here one day. I'm just saying, be 131 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: your best where you are. I said it earlier, but 132 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: you keep being your best where you are because I 133 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: think sometimes we think, well, I'm not getting any credit, 134 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: you know, somebody stealing my ideas at work, or I'm 135 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: doing the right thing in this marriage and nobody says 136 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: thank you. But you know you're not working under people, 137 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: You're working under God. You keep doing the right thing 138 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 3: because your time is coming. There will be doors that 139 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 3: God's open. God will open that you never dream would open. 140 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: He's a faithful God. Is you continue to be faithful, 141 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: I believe they'll show out in your life. So good. 142 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 6: Anything that you would anything to speak on personally, like. 143 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: How do you stay fresh? How do you you know? 144 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 6: You guys have a lot that you're doing a lot 145 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 6: of you know things, opportunities come your way, you know, 146 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 6: questions from you know a man who says, you know, 147 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 6: I run a business and I have a lot of 148 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 6: pa you know, plates and I'm spinning. How do you refresh? 149 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 6: How do you recharge? How do you pace yourself? What 150 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 6: does that look like for you? 151 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: Guys? 152 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: I don't know if you want to even dive into 153 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 6: your weekly schedule or not. But just any any thoughts there, Yeah, 154 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 6: you don't. 155 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: Way to go, I'll go. I'm doing all the talking. 156 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: But it's my book, y'all. You know different, well, you 157 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: know everybody's different. But one thing that I like to 158 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: do is well, first off my schedule, I speak maybe 159 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: four weekends and then I have a week where I'm 160 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: not speaking because preparing to speak takes me a lot 161 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: of energy. So I paced myself. Nick, I try to 162 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: pace myself. I would love to speak fifty two weeks 163 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: a year, but I can't do that and stay healthy 164 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: and stay fresh. So you have to know what fits 165 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: for you, what works for you. I have friends that pastor. 166 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: If we're talking about pastors, some of them take off 167 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: a couple months in the summer just to get refreshed. 168 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: I like to split mine up and go, you know, 169 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: four weeks. And I'm not saying I'm off every four weeks, 170 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: but I'm not speaking and that allows me to do 171 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: other things and to freshen up. I think on a daily, 172 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: more of a regular basis. I like to What helps 173 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: me to stay fresh is to get some exercise, to 174 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 3: get outside. I went for a long bike ride today 175 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: because it was a busy busy day yesterday as my 176 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: book launch. We started early and work late. So I 177 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: think just taking time for yourself because you're not you 178 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: know where three part being. We're spiritual, emotional, and we're physical, 179 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: and I think you have to keep them all in balance. 180 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I go pray all day and work all 181 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: and speak every Sunday and be great. But if I'm 182 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: not physically good, I'm not going to be as I'm 183 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: physically healthy, I'm not going to be as good as 184 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: I should be or emotionally. So I just encourage you 185 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: to take time whatever works for you. You know. To me, 186 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: it's getting outdoors, doing some exercising, going to play tennis, 187 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: go and riding my bike. Jonathan and I'll go work out, 188 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: but I like them. Rather than sit at home at 189 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 3: night sometimes I'd rather go for a walk or something 190 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 3: just to be outside. So that helps me because I 191 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: think I alluded to it. But it's easy to work 192 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: all the time. It's easy because we're all busy. You 193 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: have children, you got work, you got projects, you have dreams. 194 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: But it's not healthy. I don't think you'll be the 195 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: best that you can be. And so that's what helped me, Nick, 196 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: because you know what I got, this opportunity God has 197 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: give in me. God, I want to be my best 198 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: for you. It's easy to you know, be busy twenty 199 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: four hours a day, but I realize I want to 200 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 3: be my best if I'll take time to stay healthy, great, 201 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 3: to stay refreshed, and to take care of your temple. 202 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 6: And I think one thing that I've observed with your 203 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 6: life and leadership is it takes just as much faith 204 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 6: to say no as it does to say yes. And 205 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 6: I think what I've observed from your life is the 206 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 6: ability to say no to things that you don't feel 207 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 6: comfortable with or at peace about that come your way. 208 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 6: And I know many people they get opportunities, whether it's business, 209 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 6: birthday invitations, come to this, come to that. But you 210 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 6: have the consistent ability to say no so that you 211 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 6: can be your best and you can sustain and go 212 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 6: to long haul with your calling and with your purpose. 213 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: And I find that, I mean, it's amazing. Yeah, it's 214 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: important to be able to say no and to know 215 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: what you're good at and what your limitations are, because 216 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: we all have them. And even when my dad passed 217 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: and we started getting some notoriety and people started watching 218 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: and well, I have all these friends that I grew 219 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: up with that are pastors and asked me to come 220 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: speak for him. And this was on and I thought, 221 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: you know what, I can barely speak on Sunday for 222 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: for Lakewood. And these were good friends and they all understood. 223 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: But I you know, I didn't go speak anywhere for 224 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: you know, I haven't really spoken hardly many places except 225 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 3: the Nights of Hope, except at Lakewood. And I don't 226 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 3: mean not doing it selfishly. I've done it for a 227 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: few friends. But it's just that you know, knowing where 228 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: to put your energy where you're going to be the 229 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: most effective. And I'm my personality type is to want 230 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: to please everybody. I'm nice. You know you want me 231 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 3: to do something, I want to go do it just 232 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: because I don't want to tell you now you want 233 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: to go help you move. But I realized I had 234 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: to come to a point where I say, you know 235 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: what I got. I got to protect what God's given me. 236 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: You have to protect what God's given you. And I 237 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 3: think that's that's a bigger way to look at it, 238 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: to say, Okay, God, you say, I say, God, You've 239 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: given me this gift, He's given you a gift, whatever 240 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: it is, and God, I'm going to protect it. I'm 241 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 3: going to be the best that I can be, because 242 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: you know, when we come to the end of life, 243 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: you're not going to answer to people. People put their 244 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: demands on you, and somebody wants you to do this 245 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: and make you feel better if you don't do this, 246 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: but you know you're not going to answer to people. 247 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 3: You're gonna answer to God. And I've learned you can 248 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: be respectful, but you can you know, you have to 249 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: be able to say no and run your race. And 250 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: I think, Nick, if I can just touch on that, 251 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: because I think it's important too. It's one of the 252 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 3: core things that I believe brought me to where I 253 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: am is when my father died. He had pastored Lakewood 254 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 3: for forty years, and so all of a sudden he 255 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: died suddenly at seventy seven years old. I knew I 256 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: was supposed to step up to pastor the church, and 257 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: I did. I didn't know if I could minister and 258 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: didn't know if I could. You know, you've heard that story, 259 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: but one important part is when everybody came, I knew 260 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: they were coming because my father, because he had been 261 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: there for forty years. So I thought, Joel, they didn't 262 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 3: come to hear you, So you better be like your father. 263 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: You better preach like your father and lead like your father, 264 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: and you know, do everything like your dad. And I 265 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: loved my dad and I respected him, but we were 266 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 3: different personalities. My dad was a you know, more fiery, 267 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 3: and he was raised Baptist and just came out of 268 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: a different generation. He was forty one years older than me. Well, 269 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: you guys know me. I'm more quiet and reserved. I 270 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: don't have this big, booming voice, and I'm not going 271 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: to get up there. But that's what I felt like 272 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: I had to be. In the first month or two, 273 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: I thought, Okay, I'm going to try to be like 274 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: my dad. And I realized that, you know what, that's 275 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: not who I am. And about six months in I 276 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: read a scripture and Acts that says David fulfilled his 277 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: purpose for his generation. And it felt like God said 278 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: to me, Joe, your dad fulfilled his purpose. Now go 279 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: fulfill your purpose. In other words, quit trying to be him, 280 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 3: quit trying to run his race. You can honor your dad. 281 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: It's the same message, but it comes out of me 282 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: a little bit different. I mean, I realize I'm not 283 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 3: as traditional as a pastor as some pastors are. My 284 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,479 Speaker 3: dad he might teach the Book of Romans or Colossians 285 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 3: where I'm talking about subjects in life, but that was Now. 286 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: I believe that's my gifting is lifting people, encouraging them, 287 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: inspiring them, talking to met how to forgive, how to 288 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 3: have peace and purpose and things like that. Well, when 289 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: I stepped into my own shoes, that's when everything begins 290 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: to grow. And that was some barriers I had to 291 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: break in my own mind of not trying to be 292 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: like my dad. And I've got people over here telling 293 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 3: me to do this, and you've got to do it 294 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 3: this way. We've been here for years and years. This 295 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: is the way the church is supposed to And I 296 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: was I always did it respectfully, but I thought, God, 297 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna run my race. I'm going to answer to 298 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: you and I'm gonna I'm gonna do what I feel 299 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: like is in my own heart. And again I wasn't 300 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: disrespectful to anybody. I was firm though, as nice as 301 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: I am with it. You know what, I didn't say it, 302 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: but that's what you want me to do. But no, 303 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: I want to be who God called me to be 304 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to run my race. And when I did that, 305 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 3: you know, doors begin to open and it goes back 306 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: to man, I'm going along, y'all. Sorry, I'm going back 307 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 3: to It goes back to your anointed to be you. 308 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: You're not anointed to be anybody else. You'll never become 309 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 3: who you were created to be, you know, trying to 310 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: be what somebody else wants you to be, or trying 311 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: to copy somebody else. You've got to flourish in your gifts, 312 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: and your gifts don't have to be as big as 313 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: somebody else. I mean, I know preachers that are much 314 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 3: greater preachers than they're fantastic. I said, rob break them. 315 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: But that doesn't make me feel infurio. I just do 316 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 3: what God has called me. I'm going to be the 317 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: best me that I can be. Nobody can beat you 318 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: at being you. So be you. You know you're anointed 319 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: to be you. 320 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 6: It's awesome Again, thank you for joining this book.

How do 326 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: you come up with the topics? 327 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 6: Is there anything you want to speak to as it 328 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 6: relates to that, Well, yeah, I. 329 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: Don't want to bore you, but I just I just 330 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: you don't feel what I got of?

And so that's what I do, 338 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: and I listen to you know, I listen to CDs, 339 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: I read, I you know, different just different things. I 340 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: try to take Thursday to just let it be a 341 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: day of really peace and putting into me. I may 342 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: go for an hour or two walk and just listen 343 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: to CDs or just take that time to pray or 344 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: just you know. So anyway, then I do that, then 345 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: something comes out. They don't get up on Friday and 346 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 3: I write out what I'm going to say, and so 347 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: I just that's the way I've been doing for twenty 348 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: two years, and it's amazing. It used to be so hard, 349 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: but now it's now it's better. I've learned a little more, 350 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: but I try to always grow. I don't want to 351 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: be here, you know, I want to be I believe 352 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 3: I'm better today than I was three years ago because 353 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: you learn. And I think that's that's the key is 354 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: let's you know, let's keep growing. We're not supposed to 355 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: reach one level and stop there, and so that's that's 356 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: what I do. 357 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 6: Anyway, there's a chapter in here called all is Well. 358 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 6: It's the first chapter of the book. Just any any 359 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 6: thoughts on this idea of living all as well, knowing 360 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 6: it's all as well. 361 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. It comes from the story in the Book of 362 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: First or Second Kings where this lady had a son 363 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: and for some reason, I feel like he's around ten 364 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: years old, but he had a seizure accident or something, 365 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: and he was, you know, he stopped breathing. So this 366 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: lady was a friend of Elijah, the prophet you can 367 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: read about there in the scripture. But she got on 368 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: her animal and she took off to see Elijah, who 369 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: was in another city and She was friends with Elijah, 370 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: so several times people stopped her along the way and said, 371 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: is anything wrong? You know, why are you coming in 372 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: such a hurry. Each time she answered, all is well. 373 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: The truth is all wasn't well. She had this, you know, 374 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: her son. She didn't know if her son was alive, 375 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: but the principle of that all is well, and let 376 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: me finish the story. Elijah came and prayed for him. 377 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: The little boy came back to life, so all became well. 378 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 3: But she spoke all is well before it was well. 379 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 3: And I think sometimes you hear this joy. How can 380 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: I be at peace? I got this medical report, got 381 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: this situation in my relationship or in my finances. It 382 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: doesn't look good. But I believe you have to speak 383 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 3: to yourself. You have to speak to your spirit and 384 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 3: say all as well, maybe before it is well what 385 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: the scripture says. You know, you call things that are 386 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: not as if they were. And I believe it does 387 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 3: something to your spirit, to your mind, to your emotions 388 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: when you just tell yourself all as well, And it's 389 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: not denying the facts. What you're doing is saying God, 390 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: I know you're on the throne. This couldn't have happened. 391 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 3: You know, you're ordering my steps, and so as you 392 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: declare that you're putting your trust in God, you're showing him. 393 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: And Nick is so much better because the opposite is 394 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go around better discourage loves of barmber. I 395 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: can't believe this happened. Worried panic. Now you've got to 396 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: come back to the place of peace. And part of 397 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: that is just speaking to yourself to you may have 398 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: to say it by faith, all as well, how you 399 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 3: doing well the medical vote? Know all as well. God's 400 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 3: on the throne. He's restoring health back into me. I 401 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 3: think it's just an attitude. I like to keep it 402 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: down in my all the time. You know, a lot 403 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 3: comes against us. All you guys have challenges. We have challenges, 404 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 3: people's circumstances, pandemic, what's gonna happen? All the what is now? 405 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: Here's a good phrase, all is well. God's on the throne. 406 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 3: Hadn't failed me in the past, He's not gonna fail 407 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 3: me in the future. Keep that down in your spirit. 408 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 3: It even says in Isaiah say to the righteous, all 409 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 3: will be well with you. You're the righteous. I can say 410 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: that by faith all will be well with you. The 411 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: medical situation is gonna resolve. The difficult with your child, 412 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 3: the finances, it's gonna resolve. All is going to be well. 413 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: So stay in that place of peace. Watch what God 414 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: is gonna do is gonna bring you through it. You're 415 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 3: gonna see it resolve. I don't know when, I don't 416 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: know how, but God does. He's in control. It's awesome. Victoria. 417 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 6: There's some questions in here about if you could go back, 418 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 6: and this is obviously a question for both of you. 419 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 6: If you could go back and tell yourself something when 420 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 6: you were twenty life advice, wisdom, after all the things 421 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 6: you have gone through, what would you say? 422 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 3: I mean all as well say from. 423 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's like, don't you wish we could? But yeah, 424 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 5: I think I think kind of what we're talking about. 425 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 5: We need to stay in peace. We have to understand 426 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 5: that God is working in our life. Everything that we've 427 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 5: talked about. Just I have a tendency to project way 428 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: out in the future, and I have a tendency to 429 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 5: try to solve problems that haven't happened yet or you know, 430 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 5: I just don't want any roadblocks once I get there, 431 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 5: you know, And so I've really had to learn how 432 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 5: to reel all that in and sometimes I'll be so 433 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 5: far out in the future I forget to enjoy today. 434 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 5: It's great, and so I've learned that a lot. I 435 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 5: would love to say, you know what, let's focus on 436 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: today because today is really all you have. And yes, 437 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 5: there are things that you may try to avoid in 438 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 5: the future. Plan I have more of a strategic kind 439 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 5: of mind. I'm like Joey says, You're just like you 440 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 5: go too deep into everything. You're just like you can't 441 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 5: even watch a show without going deep into it. But 442 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 5: that's just who I am. Yeah, and so I've had 443 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 5: to learn to work with who I am. But I 444 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 5: think I would just say, you know, enjoy more of 445 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 5: the moments and really you squeeze out of them all 446 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 5: that are there for that day and because tomorrow's gonna 447 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 5: The Bible says it has enough problems of its own, 448 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 5: you know, and you can't fix all those. You can 449 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 5: only depend on God. 450 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Nick, I would tell myself to trust more, 451 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 3: because you know, it's just it's easy to worry, and 452 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 3: more probably more so when we got the camp, when 453 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: we started the ministry side of it, because you know, 454 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: starting to learn how to minister and never dream we 455 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 3: would be doing this, and all of a sudden nineteen 456 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 3: ninety nine are our lives changed. And so you know 457 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 3: the first few years as any is anybody gonna come, 458 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 3: are you going to know how to preach? Or then 459 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: all of a sudden we got that note riding. There's 460 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: more people that are against us. Oh, maybe the critics 461 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 3: are going to win, a lot of stuff to worry about. 462 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 3: We've got the when we're trying to get the compactsenter, 463 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 3: we don't have enough votes. How's it going to happen? 464 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: But I look back of it now times that you 465 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 3: know I did my best, But there's just times you 466 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: just you know, you just feel stressed and you can't sleep, 467 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 3: you wake up in a cold sweat. What's gonna happen? 468 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: And all that? But I realize now God brought me 469 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: through them all. He was in control. He's directing an 470 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: ordering our steps. So now I just I live from 471 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: a much more of a place of peace and of trust. 472 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: And that is you know, God hadn't felt failed in 473 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 3: the past. He's not going to fail you in the future. 474 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 3: And I think we can save ourselves a lot of 475 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 3: worry and sleepless nights if we just trust and it 476 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 3: helps me too. And I mentioned it earlier, but God 477 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: doesn't always take us in a straight path. It's not 478 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: always a B, C, D E. Sometimes you go a 479 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 3: B or A to F and then you come back 480 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 3: to B and you think, God, I'm going the wrong way. 481 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 3: But God orders our steps, and you know, sometimes there's 482 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 3: curves along the road, so you look and sometimes you think, well, 483 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 3: I had this break, I was doing so good, or 484 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: I went through this loss or something. But you know what, 485 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 3: it's all a part of God's plan. He knows how 486 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 3: to get you to where you're supposed to be. So 487 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: those things you don't understand, there's the time to trust. 488 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 3: You know, Hey, I don't see why this didn't work out. 489 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 3: Many things that I've prayed about and it didn't work 490 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 3: out and that I wanted really badly. But you know, 491 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: you wait a few years and you think, oh, God 492 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 3: had a compact center. That's why those things changed. And 493 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 3: so there's just these things in life that it's easy 494 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 3: to fight and live worried. And I'm not saying it's 495 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: always easy because you're facing when you face medical issues 496 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: or you know, finances or job, whatever. It is not 497 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: always easy, but I'm just telling you it's better to 498 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: stay in a place of peace and trust. Something JJ 499 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: Moses said. He was on the program with this weekend 500 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: a friend of ours that went through a situation at 501 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: work where he was fired unjustly and he's a great 502 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 3: guy but God restored him. But during that time that 503 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: he was not working and in the middle of the pandemic, 504 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 3: didn't know why it's going to, you know, take care 505 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 3: of his family in Awe and he had a very 506 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 3: prestigious position. But he's one thing he said was how 507 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: he chose to stay in peace and stay in faith 508 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: and make declarations. But he made the statement of something 509 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 3: like this that he said, if I hadn't have done that, 510 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: I don't believe this new door would have opened. And 511 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: I think that's a better way to look at it. Well, 512 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm not just saying to stay in peace or to 513 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 3: make it feel better, although that's important, but I believe 514 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 3: when we're worried and stressed, it's stopping the creator of 515 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 3: the universe from working. So it's not just hey, it's 516 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: just it's not just a little thing. May maybe if 517 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: you come back to peace and stay in peace and trust. 518 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: And it may not be that easy, but when you 519 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: do that, you're allowing God to open your new doors, 520 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: to vindicate you, to heal you, to turn things around. 521 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: So make that decision that you're going to stay in peace. 522 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: You do it on purpose. May not always feel like it, 523 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: because those thoughts are gonna come. Victoria was talking about 524 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: sometimes she projects way out. Her personality is to go 525 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 3: way out into the future, you know, and it's because 526 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 3: she thinks deeper and she's very she got discernment. She 527 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 3: thinks she's very wise, but she can her strength can 528 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: become her weakness like all of us, because sometimes you 529 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 3: can you can look way out there and say, okay, 530 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: wait a minute, what if this happens or what if 531 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 3: that happens and what if Well that's good in a 532 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 3: sense because you know, you want to plan, and like 533 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: I said, she's very wise, but it also can be 534 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 3: what if nobody comes back to church after the pandemic 535 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: and what if the medical report doesn't turn around? You 536 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: don't have grace for tomorrow. Yes, plan be smart, but 537 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 3: you have grace for today. You have to turn that 538 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 3: around and just say, you know, just God, I'm gonna 539 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: live in this moment. When you get to that moment, 540 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna have the grace that you need for that 541 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 3: for that day. But I think another important thing too, Victoria. 542 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 3: Now we're talking about if your mind does go out there, 543 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 3: why don't we always go to the negative mine? Does 544 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: you know, hey, Nick, what if nobody comes back after 545 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: the pandemic got this big auditorium. What if but let's 546 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: go to the positive? What if it comes back bigger 547 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: than that or ever? What if I get here? What 548 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: if I do get the promotion, what if I do 549 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 3: meet the right person sooner than later? I'd rather project 550 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: out in the positive. I think the point that's making 551 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 3: those stay stay in the now. We don't have grace 552 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: for tomorrow. If you're gonna be in you have to 553 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: see I've got grace for this day. I don't have 554 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: to figure out four weeks from now. I don't have 555 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: to figure out a month from now. I can live 556 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 3: in the peace and the grace God has for me today. 557 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 5: You know, in two I was thinking when you were 558 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 5: talking how sometimes we run into these negative circumstances and 559 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 5: we're like we're just pushing against them. It's like, why 560 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 5: is this happening to me. But we've learned that things 561 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 5: have happened to us that God uses down the road. 562 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 5: If that wouldn't have happened, we wouldn't have known how 563 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 5: to do that, And so I think that's a huge 564 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 5: way to stay in peace. It's like God, I'm going 565 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 5: to learn from this lesson. I'm going to take everything 566 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 5: that I can from this and because God will always 567 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 5: use those things. 568 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: I can think through my whole. 569 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 5: Life how things that were hard God used them to 570 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 5: help me later know how to navigate. Now we found 571 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: that with even just fighting for the Compact Center and 572 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 5: things like that. 573 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think some of those things we're trying 574 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: to pray away, God's using them to get us stronger 575 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 3: to get prepared for the new things that He has storm. 576 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: I know this is a virtual book signing. I have 577 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 3: not signed one book, but yesterday or the day before 578 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 3: I signed a thousand or so. So if you're going 579 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: to get a signed book just for being with us today, thought, 580 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 3: I appreciate you guys being a part of the ministry 581 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 3: and taking this time with you. 582 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 5: I wonder how many people are out there that have 583 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 5: been to one of our book signings. But isn't it 584 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 5: interesting how you know, even during the pandemic, how we 585 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 5: all learned how to use zoom and how we've learned 586 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 5: how to talk virtually we've adapted to that. Not that 587 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 5: we want to do that forever, but thank Goodness that 588 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 5: we can. And it's like at first we're like what 589 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 5: but now, I mean even to be able to be 590 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 5: with all of you today and just be able to talk, 591 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 5: and you know, we can't see your face, but it's 592 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: better than not seeing you know, being able to connect 593 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 5: at all. 594 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 6: So I want to think it's been great to because 595 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 6: people get to see you in a different light. You know, 596 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 6: some oftentimes at the book signing is maybe they don't 597 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 6: get the opportunity to spend a whole hour with you 598 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 6: talking about marriage and relationships in life and again how 599 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 6: God can work things out for good and we can adapt. 600 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 6: And this is a necessary and needed book for this time. 601 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 6: And you know, I think with all the things that 602 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 6: are happening, telling people to be peaceful on purpose is 603 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 6: so necessary. Any any thoughts that you have as we 604 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 6: wrap up the call, or want to pray for people 605 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 6: as we just you know. 606 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to remind you what you hear 607 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: me say a lot. God has you in the palm 608 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: of his hand. I believe that He has something great 609 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: in store. You wouldn't be watching if you didn't honor God, 610 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 3: if you didn't love him. It says he's a rewarder 611 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 3: of those that seek after him. So I just hope 612 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: you'll get your expectations up because I think sometimes we 613 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: can put things on hold because of the pandemic or 614 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: because of they've got this challenge. But you know what, 615 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: many times God wants the odds to be against us 616 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 3: on purpose so he can show out. So when he 617 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 3: turns it around that it's even a greater miracle. So 618 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: I think you got to stir your faith up. We 619 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 3: have that phrase, you know, hope again, dream again, live again. 620 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 3: It's time to believe again. You get your faith up 621 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 3: and get ready for the new things God wants to do. 622 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: I know that you're a person of destiny. You know 623 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 3: you didn't get here by yourself. It wasn't just your parents. 624 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 3: God chose you before the foundation of time to be 625 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: here on May eighteen, twenty twenty one. You could have 626 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 3: lived two hundred years ago, or you could live, you know, 627 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: four hundred years from now. But God puts you here 628 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: today because you're well able. He chose you, he could 629 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: count on you. He didn't choose the apostle Paul for 630 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 3: this day, or Sarah or Ruth or Moses or David. 631 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: That was all great, But when God looked down to 632 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, he looked in your eyes, he said, 633 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: that's who I can count on. So know that you're equipped, 634 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 3: You're empowered, You're armed with strength for every battle. Keep 635 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: your shoulders back. You're a child of the most High God. 636 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 3: And I just want to pray for you today. Lord. 637 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: Thank you for all of our friends that are watching 638 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: today listening. Lord, I thank you that you do have 639 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 3: them in the palm of your hand. And Lord, those 640 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: that are you know, just in difficult situations, I thank you. 641 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: Even today things are beginning to change. Lord. Let them 642 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 3: feel your peace as they've never felt before. I think 643 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 3: it that you are turning those situations around with their 644 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 3: children and their health and their finances. Lord, I think 645 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 3: it that you're freeing them from addictions, anxiety and depression 646 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 3: and the fear of the future. Lord, I just think 647 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: it even to just a new thing is happening. Strongholds 648 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 3: are being broken, that you're restoring with the enemies trying 649 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 3: to steal or let their gifts and talents come out 650 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 3: in a new way, or take them where they can't 651 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 3: go on their own. Lord, you've done it for us. 652 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 3: I think you that you'll do it for them even 653 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: in a greater way. Lord, we thank you. I just 654 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 3: declare in Jesus' name that you're strong, healthy, blessed, prosperous, redeemed, forgiven, talented, creative, disciplined, focused, prepared, qualified, motivated, valuable, free, determined, equipped, empowered, anointed, 655 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: accepted and deproved.
