1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: She said she wants to go through the divorce. She's

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: made it very clear. My question is how do I

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: go about life and move on without her. We've been

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: together seven to eight years and it seems like she

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:29,240

Speaker 1: these questions with you guys, and to kind of walk

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: through this. As you know, this style, if you've heard

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,280

Speaker 1: through your questions. They could be lighthearted, they could be

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: music related, they could be tour related. They could be

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: relationship or job or or life. It really could be anything.

Speaker 1: But I should start, I should ease ourselves into these.

69
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: You guys, let me say this when you when you

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: ask these questions, I am I'm so humbled that you

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: will trust Christian and I with these things. And we

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: were talking, we had lunch right before this, and it's

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: such it's such a a huge responsibility. But also I

74
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: want you to know. You probably know that it's a

75
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: big responsibility when you hear the questions. But what I

76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: do want you to know that you might not is

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: that it's also such a privilege to be trusted with

78
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: a sliver of your lives. As I don't like to

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: consider us strangers for you listeners on here, but we

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: have never met personally, most of us, and so I

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: just I want to let you guys know that it's

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: a huge privilege. So don't think of it as a burden.

83
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: I enjoy it if I could help you in any

84
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: way and give you some advice in any way, you

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: don't have to take it. In fact, somebody emailed and

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: said you better be prepared for lawsuits in case you're

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: telling no, it's not about that. This is more of

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: a friendship conversation. But I just want you guys to

89
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: know that it is fulfilling to me to be able

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: to talk through some of this stuff, though, right you

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: understand that more than morning anywhere, Christian. How about this one?

92
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: It says dreamcar. That's a subject. Hey, Grangeer, I'm justin

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: from southeastern Michigan. My question is with money and need

94
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: for family use aside, what would a vehicle be that

95
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: you would like to buy and why? And then it

96
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: says I do not want to hear about your sixty

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: nine Charger right now. This is besides that, which is interesting.

98
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Justin has heard me talk before about a sixty nine

99
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Charger as being a dream car. But I'm confused at

100
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: why he discounted that car right away this email. He

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: must have a problem with that says thanks for your podcast.

102
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,240

00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Southeastern Michigan. Thanks for the email. I'm going to try

106
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: to answer this without mentioning sixty nine charger, which is

107
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: my favorite, because the duke's a hazard. Gosh, can you

108
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: answer right on the top of your head. No, like

109
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: the car, like, if there's any year, any make, any model, Yeah,

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: it's anything he says regards wardless of money, our need

111
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: for the use for your family. Yeah, I mean it

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: probably it might would be a Toyota Supro like that

113
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: car like Brandon Jones who drove our stock car. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

114
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking just being a nineties kid and growing

115
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: up in the nineties, I just remember that was a

116
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: cool sports car to have their twin turbo engine and

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: six feet transmission, and in the nineties that was a lot.

118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: That was a big deal. Yeah yeah, all right, I

119
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go with like a Ford F one

120
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: hundred or some some older body square body or body Ford,

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: or like a nineteen eighty three Chevrolet square body single cab.

122
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and I just what I just described

123
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: was my granddad's truck. You bought it brand new in

124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: eighty three, which we still had that thing, but we don't.

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: But yeah, i'mna go with that, and that's a good,

126
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: good choice without answering sixty nine charter. Yeah, I'm gonna

127
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: do one more. He's in us into it, and I'm

00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: to Europe a few times, in Africa and Central America.

155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: And I think the question was asking about the American

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Right's right, you brought me back here, yeah, And so

157
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I think it's we were talking about this a little

158
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,119
Speaker 1: bit at lunch, just the perspective that we have as Americans,

159
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: just our worldview, and then when you travel, you you

160
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: just it's a whole different perspective. It's not quite totally

161
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: idled here, I think Americans. I think it's I do

162
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: think it's the best. I think America's, particularly the United States,

163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: is the best country on the planet. But it's just

164
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: so good to get outside of your perspective, outside of

165
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: your worldview, and realized that we took a lot of

166
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: things for granted. Absolutely, so I can I can't answer that, Mike.

167
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I could say this that, first of all, you're probably

168
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: referring to there's a few songs that Earl Dibbles has,

169
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: like a song called America. Right. America came out after

170
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: I had already been to the Europe stuff and the

171
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Iraq and Kuwait stuff. But we have been since then

172
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: to Australia and Canada. And it's funny because the first

173
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: time I went to Canada and America was kind of

174
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: semi viral on YouTube. I always didn't know what to do,

175
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: like what do I do with this? You know, Mike's right,

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: and thinking, now what do I do song? So I

177
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: win and I took it off the set list. Thought

178
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: that was an augous thing, which was weird because when

179
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: we went there, it was like during the height of

180
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: what this song was, how it was bubbling over on YouTube.

181
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: So I did a meet and greet and I saw

182
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: some good fans that I recognized from Canada, and I

183
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: was like, guys, quick question, why should I do with America?

184
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: And They're like play it and I was like, really,

185
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: that seems weird, and they're like, no, we have the

186
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: same kind of saying in Canada. It's Canada like instead

187
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: of America Canada, they do the same thing. Yeah, so

188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: they said sing the song and replace it and I

189
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: was like, that's a cool idea. So I did and

190
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: they loved it. Then I went to Australia, same thing.

191
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: I said, what should I do with this song American

192
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and they said, our phrase is Australia. So it just worked.

193
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: I did Australia. So what I would usually do, and

194
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, salute to my home country, I would say

195
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: America the first two times, first two choruses, and the

196
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: last chorus Australia or Canada, and then they went nuts.

197
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: So so, Mike, long story short, it's amazing how other

198
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: countries are actually very accepting of the over the top

199
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: pro America is because they all share that same sentiment

200
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: at some level. So you guys also comment below if

201
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,400

213
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: want to thank you for your inspirational music. When I

214
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: have a bad day, I resort to your music and

215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: it speaks to me and it has saved my life

216
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: many times. Wow, thank you, she says. My mother passed

217
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: away almost six years ago and I can't find any

218
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: way to cope with it. My project, vehicles and work

219
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: are how I get distracted. But at the end of

220
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: the day, it's still there. What do you recommend doing

221
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: that might help cope with it? This is Danielle from Alberta, Canada.

222
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, some awody from Canada, Canada, Canada. Danielle, thank you,

223
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for emailing and I'm sorry. I'm so

224
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: sorry about your mother. Where would you go. If you

225
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: were talking with Danielle and she came to you Christian

226
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: with this, where did you start? Where'd you start with? Well, first,

227
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I just want to affirm the grief is a real

228
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: thing and regardless of it's if it's been six days

229
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: or six years, that's still your mother and that's good.

230
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: Grief is real and it's although it's is sometimes an

231
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: emotion or something that has a mindset, it's also something

232
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: that you physically feel and you physically experience. And I

233
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: would just encourage you one is is just accept that

234
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: and be okay that, Hey, six years later, if I'm

235
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: still missing my mother doesn't mean something's wrong with me.

236
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: It's just maybe maybe maybe there's a work that still

237
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: needs to be done on the inside of me. And

238
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to get into some counseling, some

239
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: grief share groups. I would also just remind you that

240
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: to stay busy, you know, stay active, keep your mind occupied.

241
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Bible teaches us that an idle mind

242
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: can be deceitful, an idle mind can it can be unhealthy.

243
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: And if you find yourself sitting around just pondering and

244
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: wondering what's next for you and missing your mother. I

245
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: would encourage you to get busy and find something just

246
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: to put some life into, find something to put some

247
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: of your attention into, because I promise you I can

248
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: tell you in my life that when I've experienced grief,

249
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: when I've experienced pain, that when I find something that's

250
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: greater than that pain that's worth investing into. Is when

251
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: I begin to that's where my focus goes. That's where

252
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: my attention goes, and I'll get distracted on you know,

253
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I forget, oh yeah, that was tough. But when I

254
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: find something or someone to invest into, that's that's usually

255
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the game changer for me. That's so good and Christian,

256
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: you have such a servant heart, and it's it's evident

257
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: with that, with what you're saying to Danielle. And once

258
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: again I'll say, my mother is still around. So I cannot,

259
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I cannot begin to understand what you're going through, Danielle.

260
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: And but I'm sure a lot of people listening have

261
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: lost a mother and everyone has a different story. This

262
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: is this is what I could tell you with with grief.

263
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Let me go to a couple places here. One, it

264
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: will get better. It's good, it just will. And and

265
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: almost regardless of what you do, regardless of how you

266
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: just how much or how little you distract yourself time,

267
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: day by day, week by week, month by month, year

268
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: by year, it will get better. And that's not always

269
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: the answer we want to hear, because we're living in

270
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the present. We're living in this moment. So how do

271
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: I deal with it right now? I don't. It's fine

272
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: if I'm going to be better in five years, but

273
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I want to deal with it right now. I look

274
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: at it as grief is a thief. It's good grief

275
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: is a thief because because the grief that you feel

276
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: for your mother has nothing to do with your mother

277
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: and who she was. Now, the amount of grief you've

278
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: had you have for her equals the amount of love

279
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: you had for So you're by you saying that six

280
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: years later you still hurt, you still grieve means you

281
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: loved her a lot, a lot. Yeah, you loved her

282
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: that much that it still hurts all after these several years.

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: And in the long run, Danielle, that's a good thing.

284
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Meaning losing a mother that you loved that much at

285
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: your age now I don't know how old you are,

286
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: but is so much better than a lifetime with a

287
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: worthless mother. And so you're you're very blessed that you

288
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: have a mother that you loved that much and you

289
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: have those memories because not everyone can say that. So

290
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: there's a massive positive right there that you have that.

291
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: And let me go back to grief as a thief,

292
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: because I've thought a lot about this in my life,

293
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: but grief, grief will come in to your mind and

294
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: steal your the positive thoughts about your mother, take that

295
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: away from you. When when you want to think of

296
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: your mother and smile, and then you do smile because

297
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: of something great thought you had about her, and then

298
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: you feel guilty for smiling because you shouldn't. You shouldn't

299
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: be feeling happy you lost your mother, And that that's

300
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: a lie, that grief is stealing, stealing that that good

301
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: moment that you're trying to have with your mother and

302
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: trying to smile by telling you you shouldn't be smiling,

303
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: you should be sad, and just realizing that helps you

304
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: go so sad. Oh wait a minute, this is my

305
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: This is that thief Grangel was talking about. And just

306
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: imagine think about you said that about it being a thief.

307
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: Think about how grief has distracted you from so many

308
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: positive things in your right, Like it's stealing so many

309
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: great moments and so many great memories, right and delaying

310
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: you from starting what you talked about, getting into something

311
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: that's more valuable than that grief. And we're and we're

312
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: not at all suggesting that grief again, that isn't real

313
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: and it's just a choice where you just wake up

314
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: one day and it's gone. That's not it. That's not

315
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: the case. It's a process and it's a journey. But

316
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: it is also a thief and it will rob from

317
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: you and rob from others and those that are around

318
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: you that you're there, you're meant to invest into. If

319
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: this is a different piece of advice than I would

320
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: tell you if this was six weeks, it's be different,

321
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. But six years I say this, Danielle.

322
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: After six years, I say, when that comes up in

323
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: your mind and you start feeling super sad and thinking

324
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: of maybe the last moments with your mom, you recognize,

325
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: right there, no not going there. Yeah, no, I'm going

326
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: to good memories. Yeah. And I would say too that

327
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: in those moments where you're grieving her, to Granger's point,

328
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: like just honor her in that movement and like, and

329
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: if you're having a day that you're missing her more

330
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: than ever, then make it a point that day to

331
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: share with someone that you're in relationship with, someone at work,

332
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: someone you know at the office or at school. We

333
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: don't know what season of life you're in, but just

334
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: share a moment of your mother that honors her, like

335
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: your best memory growing up. And it's gonna be hard

336
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: to really, you know, when you share a positive memory

337
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: like that, you're not gonna be that sad about it,

338
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: you know. Absolutely. It's been seven years since I lost

339
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: my dad, and I love that now. I could go,

340
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: I could drive past a restaurant and I can go,

341
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: I could smile. Dad love that place, you know, and

342
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: it's all smile. I've never lost a sibling or a

343
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: child or a parent, but I've lost grandparents and I've

344
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: lost aunts and uncles, And yeah, that's the clothes I

345
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: can closest. I can relate to what she's going through,

346
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: but I can tell you now, I'm in a season

347
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: of life and we celebrate them like we like. I

348
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: honor my grandparents for I think the investment they made

349
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: into me, and so of course I missed them I

350
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: miss them every day, but I'm also honored it I

351
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: had the time you know that I had with them

352
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: here on earth. So it's good hanging there. Danielle. I

353
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: appreciate the question. Seek, seek wise counsel, seek good friends,

354
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: and seek those those moments of serving others, because when

355
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: you start serving others, and maybe there's someone in your

356
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: in a circle around you that lost their mother this year,

357
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: and you can go to them and go do you

358
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: want to talk about this? Tell me about your mother?

359
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Could you have any pictures of her? Show? And you'll

360
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: watch yourself as you're investing in that, watch yourself start

361
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: healing from the inside. So that's I think that's pretty solid.

362
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: And thank you for emailing back up to you. Christian.

363
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: We're spinning the wheel here. We have I'll go to

364
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: the bottom. We have faith and friends. We have need

365
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: some advice. We have if you were seventeen. Let's do

366
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: the faith and friends. Faith and friends. Okay, it says,

367
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: hey Granger, I'm going to give you the same paragraph

368
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: that you that you read all the time. But I

369
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: love your music, I love watching your podcasts and vlogs,

370
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: I love your sweet family. Thank you so much. So

371
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: here it is it says. I know religion is not

372
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: new to your life, but in the past couple of

373
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: years it's become a part of your storyline and I

374
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: love it. My question is does your religious views are

375
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: writing the word affect your everyday life when it comes

376
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: to other people. Do you talk about Christianity to others

377
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: all the time, like everywhere you go or do you

378
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: find that you have to be more reserved with some

379
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: And have you ever had a fan or a family

380
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: try to discredit your faith in any way by saying

381
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: something negative about you and talking about your faith? And

382
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: so how do you handle it? In this day and time?

383
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: It seems that if you say I'm a Christian, people

384
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: want to judge your every step. For example, if you drink,

385
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: you're a sinner. If you show anger, you're a sinner.

386
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: If you dance, you're a ciner. I get really discouraged

387
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: from statements like this or in general just saying negative

388
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: comments about being religious. How does a person in the

389
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: public I deal with this? Thank you so much for

390
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: your time, Angie from Georgia, but your neighbor Georgia. Yeah,

391
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: kind of good stuff. Good stuff. I'm Angie, and I

392
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: want to start I want to start here. I want

393
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: to start by saying, because I see this in emails

394
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot from you guys, I want to kind of

395
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: squash the word religion. That's good, let's do it. I

396
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: just don't kind of rebuke that word because I'm really

397
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm very religious about waking up in the morning and

398
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: eating and eating, eating, and watching watching Aggie football, going

399
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: to the restroom. Yeah, pretty religious about that. Yeah, it's

400
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: going to happen. Yeah, I'm religious about having my cup

401
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: of coffee every morning, though. And uh, and sometimes that

402
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: word just gets it gets kind of muddled. And there's

403
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: a big difference between loving Jesus and being religious. And

404
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to I just want to clear that

405
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: up before we even get into this. And Christian and

406
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about this even at lunch today.

407
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: But let's get into the to the meat of your question.

408
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like and you sounds like you are a

409
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Christian that is struggling with the world around you, and

410
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: you've it sounds like you've had some some people try

411
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: to discredit your faith, saying some negative things, maybe calling

412
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: you out for what they think that they think you

413
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: would judge them for that, right, and you're doing it,

414
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: so then we'll call you out on that. And this

415
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: is all basic normal, it's normal world. You know. Have

416
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: you do you Christian? Do you deal with this people's

417
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: people coming to you and saying something similar to what

418
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: Angie's saying. Yeah, I mean, I think we've all as

419
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: a believer, I think we've all had days where we

420
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: have people questioning our relationship with the Lord or critiquing

421
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: us and criticizing what it is that we believe in,

422
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: or maybe our character as far as like hey, why

423
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: you know you don't you shouldn't have to do that

424
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: as a Christian or But I mean, I think what

425
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I would say to is it Angie? Is that right? Angie?

426
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Angie from Georgia, Angie, I would I just want to

427
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: encourage you. One is is uh what Grander and I

428
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: was talking about lunch, and that is is that you know,

429
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: our our relationship with Christ is really not something that

430
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: we have to defend and know is it something we

431
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 1: have to prove? And the kind of the thing we

432
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: talk about often is is that we just want to

433
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: be someone that has something. There's something in us that

434
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: other people desire like we don't. We don't have to

435
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: go around sharing you know, memory versus and scripture and

436
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: you need that's right. Yeah, Like our goal is, like

437
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: we've talked about this day of lunch, I just want

438
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: to see something. I just want to be someone that

439
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: someone sees, Hey, I want what they have, Like I

440
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: know what they're walking through in life, and look at

441
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: the strength that's on that, look at the joy that

442
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: they have, look at the peace that they have. And

443
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you that when you're someone that, when

444
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: you're someone that's walking like that, people are going to

445
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: desire that, regardless of what religion they're from, what faith

446
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: background they have, And you can't critique that, like you

447
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: can't you can't criticize peace. If you ever see somebody's just,

448
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: they're just. They come in and there's joy in their

449
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: life and they're peace. They're peaceful in the middle of

450
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: a storm. No one's critiquing that. Everyone's desiring that. I

451
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: think that's perfect. Like the person that is that in

452
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the people that are walking in peace were

453
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: walking in confidence and assurance while the rest of the

454
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: world was falling down around us and in chaos. That

455
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: was what everyone was desiring. Yeah, yeah, that's so good. Well,

456
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: I've heard it said that you don't have to worry

457
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: about saying the message so much. When you are the best,

458
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: you have to live it. You live the message. And

459
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: so Angie, that's perfect. And I don't even I don't

460
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: totally know this is what you're even asking. I'm just

461
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: kind of assuming that this is happening to you, which

462
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: is why you're asking it to me. So you say,

463
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: my question is does your religious views are spreading the

464
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: word affect your everyday life when it comes to other people? Yes,

465
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: and it should. It should for everybody because when it

466
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: is when you are the message, when you are living this,

467
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: when you're living by that word, that it should just

468
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: permeate everything that you do. I'm not talking about everything

469
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: you say. I'm not talking about the weird on the

470
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: street corner that's that's saying Hell's Coming and holding the

471
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Bible and screaming at people that it's not what I'm

472
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm talking about exactly what Christian said, where

473
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: you go, there's something different about that guy. There's like

474
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: a piece that I can't describe what's going on with you.

475
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: It's how you treat the lady of the chuck outline

476
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: like it's it's how you treat your your waitress or

477
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: your waiter. It's it's how you interact with people at

478
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: the ball field, and you know, it's it's just how

479
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: you live your life to the So it's always on

480
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: my mind everywhere I go. I'm thinking about the people

481
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm interacting with and the friendships that I have, and like,

482
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: I want there to always be fruit on my life

483
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: that I'm a follower of Christ in all. Yeah, second

484
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: part of the question, how do you deal with people

485
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: judging and giving you negative comments about being religious? Well,

486
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I think it's that that kind of stuff. It's anything

487
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: else in life that starts with it's any negative comment,

488
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: it starts with you being confident with your your views

489
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: and your your way of life. The way I look

490
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: at any negative comments in anything in my world is

491
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: and I read this in a I saw this in

492
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: a Brene Brown book called Daring Greatly. But it was

493
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: basically the idea that we're all in this arena and

494
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: if we're down, if we're the gladiators on the dirt,

495
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the only advice or criticism where we can take is

496
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: from people in the dirt with us that are sweating

497
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: and bleeding with us. But the person up in the

498
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: nose bleeds up in the top, I'm not listening to that.

499
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: So not listening to that criticism because you're not down here. Now.

500
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: If you're down here and we're brothers and you say, man,

501
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: you got straightened up. Okay, we're bleeding together, I understand,

502
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: but not from you way up in the top of

503
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: the nose bleeds in the arena. And I think that's

504
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: the same with you. And by the way, drinking is

505
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: not a sin. Dancing is not a sin. So we'll

506
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: go ahead and clear that up. Does say show your anger,

507
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: So there's there's there's a fine line there. But but

508
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: if you've named two out of your three that aren't

509
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: even sins that people are calling you out on, that's

510
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: just weird. That's that's someone that's that doesn't understand ceremonial

511
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: and civil and moral laws of the Old Testament and

512
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: the difference between them. So keep doing what you're doing, Angie.

513
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: Shout out to Georgia. We're gonna take a quick break

514

562
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: about vitamins because I don't know what's in them, and

563
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: they usually turn my stomach upset. But when I started

564
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: taking Raycon, I didn't have any of those problems. I

565
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't have the stomach upset, and I always knew exactly

566
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: what I was going to get in it. It had

567
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: some multivitamins. It should contain key nutrients in forms that

568
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: your body could actually use to help fill the gaps

569
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: in your diet. No extra stuff. You don't want anything

570
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,800

Speaker 1: your whole life story in the body of the email,

592
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: because it's just harder. It's harder for me in this

593
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: content to read through a very long email. Just try

594
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: to keep it where we can get the main points

595
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: and if that makes sense. So Christian, we have top

609
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: is you're leaving northern Maine. Beautiful there. You're gonna come here.

610
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: It's so hot. It's hot, beautiful in the northeast. Yeah,

611
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: I've toured Maine. You usually tour Maine once a year,

612
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: and it's just unreal. Now you're leaving for the reasons

613
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: that you haven't said, or you want to leave for

614
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: reasons you haven't said. But don't whatever you do, don't

615
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: leave because you think the grass is greener in Texas

616
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: because it's not greener from Birmingham. It's it's not greener

617
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: in Texas. I mean it's great, but the grass is

618
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: liter Birmingham is very not greener. Yeah, Burnham's a lot

619
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: of rain, so yeah, Birmingham is a beautiful town. It's beautiful.

620
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: So have you been to main I half once. Did

621
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: you get lobster? Uh? No. It was a quick trip

622
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: with family, so it was in and out really quick,

623
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to get lobster. I'll just see

624
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a moose. I did not see a moose. I want

625
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: to go back, like it's one of those trips that

626
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: I want to go back. So Jeremy, here's the deal,

627
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: me and Christian, we're going to trade with you. You

628
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: come on down and you will just switch houses and

629
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: we'll go uh we'll go up and start a celebration

630
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: in church. And it absolutely I could do the podcast

631
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: there on my back porch with the moose. In all seriousness,

632
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: if you actually are coming for business reasons or whatever else,

633
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: I am. I am have a sweet place in my

634
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: heart for Central Texas in Georgetown and the Square, just

635
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: like many places in the country, the real estate market

636
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: is ridiculous right now that everyone seems to be moving,

637
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: but I think everyone's moving everywhere off the coastal states

638
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: right and going into the interior. So what do you have?

639
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: Would you say Central Texas? Would say, I would say

640
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: Central Texas And he's asking a boy the city I

641
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: would I mean, I would say Georgetown. Any any suburb

642
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: of Austin. Yeah, any suburb of Auston I think would

643
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: be a great you know, being new to town and

644
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: being from Birmingham, it's it's Central Texas is amazing. There's

645
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: a ton for family. I mean, he mentioned his family,

646
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: and I think in Williamson County they have some of

647
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: the fastest growing cities in America, the most appealing, Like

648
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: I think it's the number two city in America to

649
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: raise a family. So just with all the parks and

650
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: the education. Yeah, uh, outskirts of Houston, you're gonna see

651
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: some really tall pine trees. Might make you feel a

652
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: little bit like Maine. You're gonna have that coastal air,

653
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: that salt air that it might remind you made. But

654
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot hotter, that's and you're gonna deal with hurricanes.

655
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: But but yeah, thanks for the question, buddy, what do

656
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: you think Christian we have I need some advice. We

657
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: have faith in friends, We have trouble with girls. Podcast question,

658
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: Random question, the random question, Random question. I like how

659
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: you're picking the ones that didn't stand it, says, hey,

660
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: Granger in My name is Gavin Holsworth from Stillwater, Oklahoma.

661
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: And your song the Country Boy song, you mentioned being

662
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: a quarter Cherokee. Is this true? If not, I totally understand.

663
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. In your podcast you said we could

664
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: ask anything and I'm Cherokee. That says, thank you, Gavin, Dude,

665
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: great question. I say in that song, I say quarter

666
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: Cherokee blood from my mom's half, So I don't think

667
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: that's the old Devil's math there. And the reality of

668
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: the truth is my grandmother is a quarter Cherokee, my

669
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: grandmother's so my grandmother's father was half, so she's a quarter,

670
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: which makes my mom in eighth, which makes me a sixteenth.

671
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: And I believe that a sixteenth is almost nothing. It's

672
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: not worth bragging about or claiming, because I think a

673
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are probably sixteenth of some kind of

674
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Native American. Yeah, what about you? You You got Irish? Irish,

675
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: got that Irish a lot more than sixteenth What is

676
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: it now? I don't know these actus Williams and clann

677
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: but Williamson Clinn. Yeah, we're definitely we're Irish. And my

678
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: actually my grand my granddad, my grandmother was half Cherokee,

679
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: but I didn't quite didn't quite make it my way.

680
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's in you. Similar, it's in there, It's

681
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: just not in my complexion. Yeah, and you could tell,

682
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: like my brother Tyler actually has no I don't have

683
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: much facial hair, but Tyler doesn't have any. Yeah, which

684
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: is any? That's usually the big indication of how much

685
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: Native American the genetics you have in you? Is the

686
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: facial hair? Really? I didn't know that. Yeah, thank you, Kevin.

687
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Where do we go now we have?

688
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: How about this one? Because this one kind of been

689
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: popping out. There's no body to it. It's just a

690
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: subject and it says, and there's actually not even a name.

691
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: It's ask God. It says, what would you do if

692
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: you were seventeen and your parents were trying to destroy

693
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: your relationship. I'm happy with the girl, and I don't

694
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: want to lose her do to my parents. B s

695
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: ooh wow, no name, no contact, just that well, one

696
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: is I don't know if he wants to know what,

697
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, Yeah, I don't know. If I

698
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: want to know what you're first, I would say one

699
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: is being seventeen. I'd have to ask the question, you know,

700
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: are you living under their roof? And how do you

701
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: determine what's your definition of destroy? Is it something that

702
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: they see in her or in you that is unhealthy

703
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: and is leading you down maybe a path they don't

704
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: want you to go down. And so is this mom

705
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: and dad destroying your relationship? Or is this mom and

706
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: dad parenting you in a direction that you may not

707
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: see is the most beneficial for you? Right now, let

708
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: me tell you my morning reading today. Proverb six It says,

709
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: this is proverb six point twenty, this is my son,

710
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: Keep your father's commandment, and for sake, and not forsake

711
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: your mother's teaching. Bind them on your heart, always tie

712
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: them around your neck. When you walk. They will lead you.

713
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: When you lie down, they will watch over you when

714
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: you awake. They will talk with you. For the commandments

715
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: as a lamp, and the teaching a light, and the

716
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: reproofs of discipline and the way of life, to preserve

717
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: you from the evil woman one from the smooth tongue

718
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: of the adulterys. Do not desire her beauty in your heart.

719
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: Do not let her capture you with her eyelashes. Right

720
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: it is. I think love and Dad might be looking

721
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: out for you. And you know, I think you have

722
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: to ask too. You have to ask yourself, is this

723
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: what's the character of mom and dad? You know, I

724
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: think if you you know, again, we don't know your name,

725
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: but you're seventeen years old, and if you're sitting here

726
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: going man, this is just completely out of character for

727
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: my parents. And I would say it's probably just something

728
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: the piece of it you're missing. Yeah, for the past

729
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: seventeen years, mom and dad has been incredible. Mom and

730
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: dad incredible. Parents, have instilled so many great things into you.

731
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you feel like they're

732
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: coming out of left field. They may not be coming

733
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: out of left field. It might just be a you know,

734
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: you ever heard the saying love is blind? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah.

735
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: The trick to this question is you say, what would

736
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: you do if you were seventeen and your parents were

737
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: trying to do? Yeah? Well, so that's a different deal

738
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: because if I was seventeen, I would be seventeen and

739
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: I would be you. But I'm not anymore, and I'm

740
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: looking back on it, and I'm saying I'm saying, brother,

741
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: regardless of what your parents are doing. You guys know

742
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: on this podcast that I'm always going to go back

743
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: to a biblical foundation and this is not it is

744
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: not supported biblically for me to tell you to forget

745
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: what your parents are saying, because it's bs as you said,

746
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: So my advice to you, as a brother, as a buddy,

747
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: as in a campfire setting with me and Christian, I'd say, brother,

748
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: you need to consider what they're saying, and you need

749
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: to take it to heart. And you don't have many

750
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 1: more years under their roof, like you said, you don't.

751
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: You're at the end of your time, but you're still

752
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: in their time. You're still under their clock. And I

753
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: would think why Christian said, there's more to this story.

754
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: There's something they're seeing with this girl. You say, I'm

755
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: happy with her. But happiness doesn't have anything to do

756
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: with it, buddy, it doesn't. Happiness is fleeting. Happiness happens

757
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: when the sun comes out and shines on your shoulders

758
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: and the rain stops and you go, I'm kind of

759
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: happy right now, but that's nothing that drives something as

760
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: big as this. So that's my advice. That's not what

761
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: you wanted me to say. It's probably not what you

762
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: expected me to say, but I did read that in

763
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: Proverbs six. When I said twenty six this morning, I

764
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: think that might be a sign for you. Trouble with

765
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: girls again. Advice marriage podcast question. Let's go marriage. See

766
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: what that is? Hey, Grandeura, It's Dalton from Pennsylvania. How

767
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: are you? My wife and I got married last year

768
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: on August first. Well, now seven months into it, she

769
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: doesn't want to work on things anymore. She walked out,

770
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: barely talks to me anymore. She said she wants to

771
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: go through the divorce. She's made it very clear. My

772
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: question is how do I go about life and move

773
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: on without her. We've been together seven to eight years

774
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: and it seems like she doesn't want anymore, lost, confused

775
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: and hurt. Hope to hear from you soon, Dalton, man,

776
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, brother. That that's uh, that's that's a that's

777
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: a marriage question right there, and that is a quick turnaround.

778
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: The seven months into it, I've heard of this before.

779
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody personally that has been only into

780
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: it seven months. Yeah, I think. I think. What's interesting

781
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: because he asked the question how do I go on

782
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: with life without her? And I would you said, y'all

783
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: have been together seven eight years and clearly you love her.

784
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: I would just encourage you. Now, don't like you made

785
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: a commitment, you made a covenant. Don't give up. Fine,

786
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: go seek some counsel, Go seek some help, learn to

787
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: understand how she receives love. Maybe listen to what she's saying,

788
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: are the reasons why she's leaving or wanting to be

789
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: with someone else? And then ultimately remember that you can't

790
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: control her, you can't change her, but you can fight.

791
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: And what I hear in the what I hear in

792
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: this email is that you may have given up a

793
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: little bit, like it's how do I live life without her?

794
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: So it sounds like you're in the driveway ready to

795
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: pull out, and I would tell you get out of

796
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: the car, go back in the house, fight, stand firm, stand,

797
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: stand confident, and don't give up on your marriage. It's

798
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. You know. What's interesting is that

799
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is a product of the pandemic

800
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. They said they got married August first,

801
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, that's a tough time, said terribly. Yeah,

802
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: they get married. Man, that's tough. That's you guys. Maybe

803
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you had it planned for a long time.

804
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: It just fell right during the pandemic. I'm assuming you

805
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: guys in Pennsylvania had heavy restrictions on the actual ceremony

806
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: you've had. That's a tough go at a world when

807
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: you're dealing with problems that most married couples hadn't deal

808
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: dealt with in the last fifty years. I wonder if

809
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: that's not part of it. I hope it's not. You

810
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: would hate to think the divorce is going to come

811
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: out to something that is fleeting, like the pandemic, that's

812
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna eventually go away. I love everything Christian said that.

813
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: I love the analogy of you're you're already in the

814
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: driveway waving goodbye, and you need to get back in

815
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: the house. And I say, when you go back in

816
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: the house, start digging into what are the reasons that

817
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: she wants to walk out and barely talks to you.

818
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: What kind of concessions can you be making instead of

819
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: thinking that this is her problem, this is she's walking out,

820
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to talk. What are you doing that?

821
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: You could then turn to her and go, I want

822
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to I want to meet in the middle. I want

823
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: to come to you with this. I want to surrender

824
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: to this marriage in a way that I haven't before.

825
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: And Babe, how can I do that for you? How

826
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: can I how can I help save this? Do I

827
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: need to quit my job? Do we need to move?

828
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: Do we need to have a second conversation about this

829
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: the child we were thinking about having. Do we need

830
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: to do we take a vacation? I don't know. I mean,

831
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I think if you

832
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: go down fully, commit fully to the path of giving

833
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: everything to it, then if she's adamant and walking out,

834
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: your heart is gonna be a lot better off. I

835
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: think you've just got to know you you gave it

836
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: everything you've got. You can't you can't have any regrets. Yeah,

837
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: but I would also encourage him. I remember that as

838
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: a man of the house, you're the leader of the house,

839
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: and so she's looking at you potentially lead lead you

840
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: guys through this, like lead you guys into counseling. Don't

841
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: wait on her to make the appointment, don't wait on

842
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: her to reach out for help. Interesting, listen to what

843
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: she's saying and go and get some help and get

844
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: some advice. Also I would encourage you is don't allow

845
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: how she's responding to anything that you're doing to affect

846
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 1: the decisions that you're making. Like don't so go bira

847
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: a dozen roses and bring them home, And don't let

848
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: the fact that she wasn't excited, didn't smile, change the

849
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: fact that you wanted to get her some chocolate or

850
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: do something nice like the next day, like you just

851
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: you got to commit, man, and you've got to predetermine it.

852
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm making these decisions because I'm committed to my marriage,

853
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: not how she's going to respond to her. Wow. I

854
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: love that. So then also you said listen to her,

855
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: So in the listening, it's the same thing regardless of

856
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: what she's saying, regardless of how she's just chewing you out.

857
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: That's right, letter, Listen, listen to hear it out because

858
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: maybe you could learn something from it. Maybe she's telling

859
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: you something that you need to hear. Right, there's that,

860
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: oh for sure. And I think if she's chewing you out.

861
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: Then she's hurt. She's angry. So there's either a reason

862
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: why she's angry, which you need to lean into and

863
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: discover what that is, or this is the reason why

864
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: she's hurt, so you need you know both. You've been

865
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: with her seven or eight years. You didn't You didn't

866
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: marry someone who was angry and yelling all the time

867
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: something's happened. And again, just I think it's your role

868
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: and your responsibility to lead her through this, lead the

869
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: two of you through this. Don't weigh on her. I

870
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: think too often in relationships and every relationship we move

871
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: forward in those relationships, but I think we have heart

872
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: time being vulnerable. So we're always like, hey, are they

873
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna are they gonna take this step too? Are they

874
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: going to do this too? And it doesn't matter whether

875
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: it's a friendship or someone you're married to, But I

876
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: would encourage be vulnerable, tell her how you feel, and again,

877
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: do things expecting no response, Like it doesn't matter whether

878
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: she is thankful that I did things for or not.

879
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: Do it anyway, do it just out of a servant's heart,

880
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: just the server. Think about this question, Dalton, Think about

881
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: if you asked her with a full heart, babe, what

882
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: can I do to save this? Yeah? And and mean

883
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: it and let her know that you mean it. What

884
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: can I, dude, save this? Yeah? And I mean and

885
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: you can't. And it's got to be You've got to

886
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: be you hearing from her. So if she says, well,

887
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: I need you to do this, this, and this, your

888
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 1: response can be well, I need you to do this

889
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: this and yes. Your respond is like, Okay, I'll work

890
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: on that. I'm on it. I'll go I don't know

891
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: how to do that, but I'm gonna go get some help.

892
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go talk to my dad, talk to my brother,

893
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to someone who might have been through

894
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: something like this, and yeah, I'm on it. Yeah. Shout

00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: she moved to Florida. Then we had a big falling

910
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: out not long after. Five months later, I still might

911
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: find myself getting upset and thinking about her a lot.

912
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: I missed that girl a lot. I love your podcast

913
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: and enjoy listening to them. I always love your answers

914
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: that you give to people. Any chance you can give

915
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: me a little advice that might get me closer to

916
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: getting over this girl. If you read this and talk

917
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: about it, thank you, Thank you. Jake shout out to

918
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Florida. It's a different variation of the last questions.

919
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: So this is it sounds like it's done. He has.

920
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: He made a big step leaving Kentucky and going to

921
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: Florida to be closer to her, and now she's gone.

922
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: The first thing I think of, and this is always

923
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: from that, you know, outside looking in, I don't not

924
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: in the trenches with you, Jake. But the first thing

925
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: I think of is you move there to be with her,

926
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: But you also continued your education to be a master

927
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: mechanic that you might not have had that kind of

928
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: opportunity or that boost right without moving there for her.

929
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: So there's already a big plus you're getting out of this.

930
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't make you feel any better, but

931
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: it will later, oh for sure. And then you have

932
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: to ask yourself too, what did you learn through that

933
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: whole experience and through that relationship? You know, I'm sure

934
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: there's there's value in everything that we go through, Granger,

935
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: and so I realized it didn't work out the way

936
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: that you wanted it to. But you're specifically asking the question,

937
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: how do I get over her and how do I

938
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: move on? I think it's very similar to it's grief.

939
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: It's still grief. Grief is grief, whether it's a loss

940
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: a love war and a loss of a relationship, And

941
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, you hold onto the fond memories and just

942
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: understand that life is in this situation, Life is moving forward,

943
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: and you've learned a lot, You've grown a lot. You're

944
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: not the same person you were at the beginning of

945
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: that relationship, and you know there's again there's value in everything.

946
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: And here you are. You've got your degree, got a

947
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: great career in front of you, you have your whole

948
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: life ahead of you. And so that's a really encouraging thing.

949
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: Something positive did come out of it. Yeah, and there's

950
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: going to be so many more positive things you don't

951
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: even know of. Jake and me and Christian consider and

952
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: tell you a million stories between us and friends and other.

953
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: This is this, this story, your story is thousands of

954
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: years old. You know you fell in love and you

955
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: lost her and now you miss her. The first thing

956
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: I would say to you is if you say, how

957
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: do I get over? It's a little a little more

958
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: time go by. It's been five months, just hasn't been

959
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: enough time yet you're still it's still fresh, the wound

960
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: is still open, and just got a little little more

961
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: time go by. And you've got to be you have

962
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: to be open to move moving on, not closed and

963
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: sad and lost, but you got to be more open

964
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: to well, I'm here, I'm finishing my education. That's awesome.

965
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm meeting new relationships, new friends. You have now the

966
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to go back to Kentucky. Maybe you're free. Hey,

967
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: you're free, dude, you're free. You can go back to Kentucky.

968
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: You go back to your old friends, and you got

969
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: to this awesome degree out of it. So you're going

970
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: to see that as more months go by. But you're

971
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: only five months in, so you're just you're just not there.

972
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: So that's yes's for my advice. That's it. Yeah, it's

973
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: interesting you said something there. You said you got to

974
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: be open to moving on. And I think that's an

975
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: interesting statement because I believe any anytime we have to

976
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: overcome something emotionally that we're going through our first choices,

977
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: we got to choose to want to overcome it, like

978
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: because sometimes I think when we're going through something, it's

979
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: easier to sit in it, right, It's easy to be like, man,

980
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 1: this hurts, this is painful. But somewhere because that hurts,

981
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: is hurt too, and that hurt. Guess what, It's easier

982
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: to be in the hurt than it is to overcome.

983
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: But somewhere you've got to choose like, I'm not going

984
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: to be I'm not staying like this, I'm going I'm

985
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: going to overcome this. So that was a great I

986
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: love that you shared that being in that hurt. He's

987
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: still feeling the remnants of the love. So he's still

988
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: kind of in a relationship with her. She's just not there.

989
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: He's just instill in it. So you're gonna be You're

990
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine, Jake, just fine. Yep, let's do

991
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: let's do one more. Christian. We have advice. We have

1001
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: But twice? That's Angie. When we got when we got

1002
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: off the break, I h hit some weird button on

1003
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: my iPhone in it unarchived things. Okay, now it's much easier.

1004
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: Trouble with girls or I need some advice. Trouble with girls.

1005
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: Trouble with girls. This is like a girl's episode. Is

1006
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, we're episode. By the way, you

1007
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: knew I had repeated those subjects, didn't You said it early?

1008
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: I said it earlier, you didn't, So I'm going to

1009
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: tell you done that. He's done so many episodes. Surely

1010
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. That's right, that's funny, Okay,

1011
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: trouble with girls. It says, hey, grade, your my name

1012
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: is Justin. I'm twenty I'm from Iowa. Shout out to

1013
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: Iowa says I've recently had a tough stretch of meeting

1014
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 1: some great girls and them leaving me because the timing

1015
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: wasn't right. I'm just lost because I feel like God

1016
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: is telling me that I'm ready to give someone all

1017
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: that I have to offer, but it keeps falling through.

1018
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: I was just wondering if you have any advice on dating,

1019
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: because I'm sure you've had you've dealt with similar similar situations.

1020
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: I love your music and what you do. Sincerely, Justin,

1021
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Brother twenty years old, Justin and Iowa. And

1022
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: he has had a series of girls that he really likes,

1023
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: great girls and then leaving him because the timing was

1024
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, similar question to the last, but this

1025
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: is different. And here's the biggest reason why it's different, Justin,

1026
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: because there are a stretch of girls. There's several girls,

1027
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: meaning it's not their problem. Right, There's a common denominator.

1028
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: There's a common denominator, and that's you. Yeah, what would

1029
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: you tell to Justin if he came if he came

1030
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: to you and said Christian and he's dumped this on you. Yeah.

1031
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, Van Bro tough time, and

1032
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that, but you you know, again,

1033
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: there's a common denominator here, and listen to what they're saying. Listen,

1034
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: listen to their reasons for moving on, and and just

1035
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: grow from it and just on it. You know, as men,

1036
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: sometimes we've just got to take responsibility for the reasons

1037
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: why they felt like it wasn't going to work. And

1038
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: then two, I just want to encourage you and know

1039
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: that there is someone, there is someone out there for you.

1040
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: It's just clearly those ladies they weren't the right one.

1041
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: And again, be encouraged in that. And then the second part,

1042
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: what was the second question? He asked he asked this

1043
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: two questions. Oh, he said, I feel like I have

1044
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: so much to offer. What single person in their twenties

1045
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: isn't saying that right? You know? And that's kind of

1046
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: like I think of like immediately, I think, you know,

1047
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: there's tension that we fix and there's tension that we manage,

1048
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,479
Speaker 1: and so I think that's just one of those so good. Yeah,

1049
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: that's one of those tensions that you just got to

1050
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: learn to manage that and there's tensions that we fix

1051
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: and tensions that we manage. Yeah, I love that. Yeah,

1052
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 1: I've never heard that. It's good advice. And so you've

1053
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: made you you're twenty, you're super young, you're maturing so

1054
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: exponentially right now, and I would this is a great

1055
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: season in your life to become the best version of

1056
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: yourself that you can be, because you need to be

1057
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: healthy to be in a healthy relationship. You can't take

1058
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: two unhealthy people put them in a relationship and have

1059
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship. It requires two healthy people for a

1060
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: healthy relationship. So man again, you're still young. I imagine

1061
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: you're working on your education beginning of your career. Just hey,

1062
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 1: just be okay in the season of life that you're

1063
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: in and just work on the best version of yourself

1064
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: you can be right now, so good. And I know, justin.

1065
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: I know that's hard to hear Christians say that, because

1066
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't just offer you a McDonald's happy meal solution

1067
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: right now, here and now and fix this craving. It

1068
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't solve it. But that's just the right advice. That's

1069
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: just what you're saying is just right. You have to

1070
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: be the best version of yourself, and now it's the

1071
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: perfect time. In a way, we all wish that we

1072
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: could be twenty again, not to be in a relationship,

1073
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: but to be the best version of ourselves and to

1074
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: work on us. There's two interesting things you say in

1075
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: this email. And I love it when when you guys

1076
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: help me answer yourself through your own question. I love

1077
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: it when you do that. So two things. One so

1078
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm just lost or excuse me. One you say the

1079
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: girls have left me because the timing wasn't right. I'll

1080
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: tell you right now. The timing thing is a lie.

1081
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: It's always a lie in any relationship in life, at

1082
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: whatever age. It's never about the timing because if it

1083
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: was about the love, love would overcome time no matter

1084
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: what it's it's always I would just I'm not. It's

1085
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: not I'm not in the right place to be in

1086
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: a relationship, or I'm not I'm in this. I'm in

1087
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: school right now, and it's not there. It's never guts.

1088
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: If it's true love, it's if it's meaningful, If it matters,

1089
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: it overcomes, and it encompasses all of the life in between.

1090
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't. Time does not matter. So if you hear

1091
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: that the time just in the timing's just not right,

1092
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: that means I just don't love you as Yeah, unfortunately

1093
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: it's an there's no easier way to say that. But

1094
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: the second thing is, and this is this is a

1095
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: kicker for me and you kind of I love how

1096
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 1: you kind of answered it. But you said I've lost

1097
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,959
Speaker 1: because I feel like God is telling me I'm ready

1098
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: to give. I'm ready to give someone all of what

1099
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I have that you know, he let us write to this,

1100
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: He led us to this. Let me say it again,

1101
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: you this is your words. I'm just lost because I

1102
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: feel like God is telling me I'm ready to give

1103
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: someone all that I have to offer. What if that's

1104
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: someone is God? What if God is calling you to

1105
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: give all of yourself to him, and what kind of

1106
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: blessing would you get out of that, including a relationship

1107
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: or or or things even greater than a relationship. But

1108
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: have you considered that? Have you considered that? That is

1109
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: what That's the reason you're lost. That's why you can't

1110
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: connect the dots and why these girls are not working out.

1111
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: And you feel like this, You feel this call from

1112
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: God and he's wanting you to give love. But it

1113
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: was not to give to a girl, it was to

1114
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: give to him. It's interesting. Yeah, and you and I

1115
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: both know Grange are that void that he's feeling can

1116
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: only be filled by the Lord. I can only be

1117
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: feeled by God. Is can never be filled by another

1118
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,479
Speaker 1: relationship or by another girl. So truth is, until you,

1119
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: until you allow God to fill the God's size hole

1120
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: in your heart, they're never going to be that best

1121
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: version of yourself to be in that relationship. There is

1122
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: a God size hole in your heart and you could

1123
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: fill it with anything, you could feel it with any

1124
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 1: kind of substance or any kind of girl. And it's

1125
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: when you still feel lost, when you fill that hole

1126
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: with everything you can and you still feel empty, it's

1127
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: because only God could feel that. And that's why you

1128
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: feel lost. You don't feel lost because you've had some

1129
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: broken relationships here. That's not the reason. But you're the

1130
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: one justin that said God. You're the one that said it,

1131
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: not me. He set it up. He set it up.

1132
