Yeah you say that, 314 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 11: it's dumb. Like I tell people all the time. I 315 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 11: did a book. My first book was called Relationship Goes, 316 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 11: and I have this whole chapter in the book about 317 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 11: rip up your list. And I know people are gonna 318 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 11: say whatever they're gonna say about they got this list, 319 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 11: you're still single. The truth of the matter is, like 320 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 11: the truth of the matter is is a lot of 321 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 11: times God never hands you a finished product. He hands 322 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 11: you something you gotta work. And that's why Ike is 323 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 11: one of the greatest furniture companies. No matter what you 324 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 11: think about it is they give you something that you 325 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 11: have to put your hands to, to a symbol, and 326 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 11: it gives people another greater level of satisfaction because when 327 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 11: they actually put their hands in to help make that 328 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 11: thing happen, it feels like I've accomplished something. Relationship is 329 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 11: the same way God never TDJ says it. God never 330 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 11: gives you a table, he gives you a tree. Sure, 331 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 11: the same thing with the relationship. And so I think 332 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 11: many times people need to rip up their lists and 333 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 11: actually look for the things that are in the heart. 334 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 11: You can't instagram integrity, you can't facebook faithfulness. 335 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: And so look at my man. He dd it up. 336 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 11: The greatest things that have made me and my wife's 337 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 11: relationship work, I cannot show you on a post. It 338 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 11: has to be lived out, proved out, and over time. 339 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 11: And so when you say support system, bro, that is 340 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 11: literally the only reason I'm here right now is because 341 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 11: I got people who could see me at my worst 342 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 11: and still think of me in my best situation to steal. 343 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: Like, while it still smells. 344 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 11: Like that word that you said just the second ago, 345 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 11: they still walking with me, and like, I'll actually be 346 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 11: with you because I know it's not gonna be like this. 347 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 11: The whole time I tell people, community is everything. Having 348 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 11: mentors is everything. Being around people that are further than 349 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 11: you is everything. And if you're gonna deal with your damage, 350 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 11: you need that because a lot of people do it 351 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 11: in isolation, and COVID has really jacked up people. And 352 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 11: when I say that, I'm not even talking from a 353 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 11: health standpoint physically, I'm talking about a mental health standpoint, 354 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 11: a spiritual health standpoint, a relational health standpoint. People went 355 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 11: into their caves and started spectating on what everybody was doing, 356 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 11: and it made them look out instead of looking. 357 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 7: What was your breakthrough moment that incled you to be 358 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 7: so vulnerable in this book, Bro, I have. 359 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: A son, our second son. His name is MJ my namesake. 360 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 11: He has autism, and me and my wife we're going 361 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 11: through the height of our ministry and our business is 362 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 11: growing and everything's exploding. 363 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: My first book goes number one New York Times bestseller. 364 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 11: I barely graduated English class, Like, I'm in a shock. 365 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 11: And then our only son, we take him to the 366 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 11: doctor and they're like, yeah, he's not progressing normally. He's 367 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 11: not talking, he's not looking anymore. And he was going 368 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 11: the right way, and then just something switched. And my 369 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 11: motor has always been let me be greater, let me 370 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 11: be better, let me make more money, let me do this. 371 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 11: And I tried to do everything I knew how to do, 372 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 11: and it didn't fix nothing. Bigger platform, writing another book, 373 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 11: making more money, it didn't do anything. And so when 374 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 11: my motor broke, it was like, what's going on. I'm 375 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 11: watching my wife slip into depression. Nothing is working, and 376 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 11: so I was like, hold on, we got to start 377 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 11: working on this I was sitting with my mentor, Tim 378 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 11: Ross at a crackle barrel outside of Oklahoma City, and 379 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 11: I was just telling them what I was going through, 380 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 11: and we started thinking about back over. 381 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: My life and he said yep. 382 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 11: He was like, yeah, when did God's standard become lower 383 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 11: than your standard? And I was like, what are you 384 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 11: talking about. He was like, Michael, you've been telling me 385 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 11: all this stuff. You want to make better and you 386 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 11: want it to be great. You keep using this word great, great, great, 387 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 11: he said, But in the beginning, when God created the 388 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 11: heavens and the earth, he looked at it and he 389 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 11: said it's good. And then he created the stars, and 390 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 11: he created the land and said, h you go right here, 391 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 11: you go right here, created the animals. Going through the 392 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 11: whole creation, he said it's good. Then he created man 393 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 11: on the sixth day, and he said, you know what, 394 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 11: that's very good. He said, if God's standard is. 395 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: Good, why is yours great? Then he asked me this question, 396 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: He said, when did you make a decision that good 397 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: w it was not good enough? 398 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 11: And immediately I went back to twelve years old when 399 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 11: I'm in church. My parents raised us in church, and 400 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 11: I played drums since I was young, and I would 401 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 11: go at twelve years old to the choir rehearsal because 402 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 11: my dream was to play in big church, like play 403 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 11: with the big choir, like not the you for the 404 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 11: junior or I wanted to play and I was good, 405 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 11: and I would go every Tuesday, only twelve year old 406 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 11: there and they would never let me play. They would 407 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 11: tell me I was great. They would tell me that, man, 408 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 11: you getting so good and bingch my cheeks, take all 409 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 11: the little stuff, but they would never let me play. 410 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 11: They probably had a legitimate reason, but I remember sitting 411 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 11: on that maroon chair in the back and deciding, I 412 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 11: guess good is not good enough. 413 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 12: I will only be great. 414 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 11: And what ended up happening from twelve years old to 415 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 11: thirty five years old. I would not settle for anything good. 416 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 11: And now I'm looking at my son and he's not good, 417 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 11: and I couldn't rationalize or reconcile what was going on 418 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 11: in me. And God was like, You're gonna have to 419 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 11: become okay with things being good. And I had to 420 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 11: go and heal that twelve year old Michael to be 421 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 11: able to even raise the thirty five year old Michael 422 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 11: and raise his son and bro I went on a journey, 423 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 11: bro and man because I went on this healing journey, 424 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 11: because I spent the money. Everybody talking about investing property, 425 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 11: you're the only thing that is priceless. 426 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: As always say, invest in your mental wealth. 427 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 11: I want you invest in yourself. You have to start 428 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 11: from someplacets. But that's why I went first, DJ and V. 429 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 11: This is why I wrote this book. This may not 430 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 11: be my most popular book, but it's my most valuable 431 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 11: book because if anybody actually reads this, they're gonna be like, Dang, 432 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 11: I can see myself and maybe I'll take the first step. 433 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Pastor Mike Todd. When 434 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: we come back, don't move. 435 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: It's the breakfast Club.

And that's why 443 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 11: I said earlier, what's not transformed is transferred. You got 444 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 11: a lot of your mom and Daddy and you that 445 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 11: they didn't give you directly. They gave it to you 446 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 11: because you received it the way that you handle issue, 447 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 11: the way that you go through stuff.

That's what I call it. 518 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: Fact break it down. People don't know. I know we 519 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: reported a long time ago. 520 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 12: First off, let me say this. 521 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 11: I am not a regular preacher, like when I say 522 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 11: a regular preacher, like, I was bored in church. 523 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: And so when God. 524 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 11: Called me to preach, I was like, all right, I'm 525 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 11: gonna actually use everything that I have to help people 526 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 11: get it. And so I tell stories, I use examples, 527 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 11: and honestly I'm doing everything how Virgil Ablo said for 528 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 11: my seventeen year old self. Most seventeen year olds, they 529 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 11: don't care nothing about church. They trying to see the 530 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 11: girl with the booty and go eat and go play 531 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 11: with it. So I'm trying to like capture. So I've 532 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 11: always used examples and stuff like that. And so there's 533 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 11: this in the Bible where Jesus basically heals a man 534 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 11: by spitting on his hand and putting on his face. 535 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 11: And so this is an example I'd done three times before. 536 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 11: And this is what my blood, little brother. This is 537 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 11: not some random audience member or anything like this. Now, 538 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 11: this is a brother we fought blood, like, this is 539 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 11: my little brother, and he wanted to do the example 540 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 11: with me so I could show it. 541 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 12: And the whole idea was many people will not be 542 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 12: willing to go through a messy process to get their healing. 543 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 12: So the idea was this man was blind, he wasn't deaf. 544 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 12: So if Jesus is about to spit, he's standing there 545 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 12: in front of Jesus and he can hear, Like if 546 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 12: you hear somebody about the Huckalula, you're like, oh my god. 547 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 11: And I was trying to say, as disgusting as this is, 548 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 11: that man stayed there and he received something that nobody 549 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 11: else could give him. And as I was saying that, 550 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 11: I said, maybe you the counseling would be messy for you, 551 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 11: Maybe apologizing would be messy for you. Maybe downsizing your 552 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 11: house would be messy for you. Do You've put on 553 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 11: this whole thing about how God blessed you, But what 554 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 11: if on the other side of this mess was your healing? 555 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 11: And I did the example. It worked too well, and 556 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 11: by that night we was on DMZ, CNN, next Morning, 557 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 11: Breakfast Club, all that other stuff, and it was somebody 558 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 11: was saying to me the other day there was like. 559 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 3: Do you wish it wouldn't have happened? 560 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 11: I was like, honestly, no, it shocked me, but what 561 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 11: I had to deal with internally and what I had 562 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 11: to become okay with inside of me because of that situation, 563 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 11: it made me into a man. 564 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 3: That I would have never met had it not happened. 565 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 11: It changed my whole view of who I was called 566 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 11: to reach and how much I needed anybody's applause damaged. 567 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 3: What do you hope people get from this book?

But I kind of had 860 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: my little rebellious moment during that time, just to find 861 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: out who I am outside of y'all expectations. Man, I 862 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: said to who y'all saying God is to me, Let 863 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: me find them for myself, let me figure out who 864 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: I am for myself. And it's been the most liberating thing. 865 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: And I've been walking in that sense of those triggers 866 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: resurface in your marriage when you separated, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. 867 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Well me and my wife separated. It was it was. 868 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: It was bad, yo, it was. 869 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 3: It was very very bad for. 870 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: Me because I didn't think my whole thing. When my 871 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: father messed up with my dad, I'm like, I ain't 872 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: never gonna be like him. 873 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 3: I'm never gonna do that. 874 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: No, no, no, So I went the pride way. So 875 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: my heart just really was like, you know what I mean, 876 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: I got more exposure than he ever got. I got 877 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: more note rioting than he ever got. And I'm still 878 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: ain't gonna do what he did. I'm still letting that 879 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: pride comes before a fall. And I fell hard and 880 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: I moved to La. My wife was in Jersey. We 881 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: just separated. I didn't think we would ever, you know, 882 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: get back together again. I was just out there working 883 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: on me. 884 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 3: She was out there. 885 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: She was out there working on her, not really trying 886 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: to get the marriage back together, and I think when 887 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: you try to do that too soon, sometimes you you 888 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: damage you know, you damage it because you just your 889 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: point is just to try to get them get back together, 890 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: but not work on you because you still got stuff 891 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: you got to work. I still have stuff I had 892 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: to work on. I still had weaknesses I had to 893 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: work on. And so I'm out there working on me. 894 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: She's working on her. I'm praying, she's praying that godd 895 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: of just brought our hearts back together. But through that 896 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: whole time, I realized my mortality, I realized my humanism, 897 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: I realized my weaknesses. I realized who I was for real, 898 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: Like this religious perspective. I became that Like like now 899 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm a pastor, right, But I don't say I'm a pastor. 900 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just a child of God with an assignment. 901 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. I'm a child of God 902 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: who got something to say to a certain group of people. 903 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: I don't become my assignment. You understand what I'm saying. 904 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: But that's the world today. If I were to meet 905 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: you in the street, the first thing I'll say is 906 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: what do you do? 907 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 3: Not who are you? 908 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, and I think we lose 909 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: who we are and what we do. And that's what 910 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: I did. I got lost in all of that, and 911 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: I forgot who I was. 912 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 7: I think you and your whole situation is just a 913 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 7: testament to the glory of God. You, you and your 914 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 7: wife are together. 915 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 3: Now, right. 916 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's right here, right behind me. 917 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 7: Man. 918 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, she survived the car into a lot. 919 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: Ye, a whole a whole, a whole lot.

Now, it seems like for a while, maybe 961 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 2: the last ten years, it seems like being a pastor 962 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 2: was cool, right, So it was like like everybody wanted 963 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 2: to be a rapper, everybody wanted to be a podcast host, 964 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 2: list like a lot of people wanted to be a 965 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 2: pastor for the wrong reasons. 966 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you feel about that? You missed that 967 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: air the past error? 968 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 3: I remember the pastor. 969 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, man, we're building them huge churches. Everybody was. 970 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,919 Speaker 1: I think the pastor phenomenon came from, oh, man, getting money. 971 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 8: There's a bunch of different things. You can speak to 972 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 8: them more, but I think getting money. 973 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 14: In the church and how you look and how you're 974 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 14: praised and you forget that he's supposed to be praised, 975 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 14: but I praise you and all that type of stuff. 976 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 8: So yeah, I see a lot of Instagram pass out there. 977 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: But you know, it is killed. You killed that whole thing. 978 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of pastors were not called the pastor. 979 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: They just you know, study, you go to school and 980 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: then you just become a pastor, like you become a 981 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: manager at you know, publics or something like that, and 982 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: that's that's unfortunate for a lot of people who invest 983 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: their you know, money, time, attention, and their soul into 984 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: people who they believe are literally called from God. I 985 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: don't believe a lot of pastors are. I think. I 986 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: think it's a system. Now on God, It's a system. 987 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: Everything is a system, and systems work with or without God. 988 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: So I think the institution of church is whack. I 989 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: think how church is ran is whack. I think the 990 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: religious system and structure is whack. I don't subscribe to it. 991 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: Even though I grew up in it, I benefited from it, 992 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: but I learned that God is not the church. And 993 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: once I realized whoa God? 994 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 3: Ain't church for me? You know what I mean. 995 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: I ain't from the streets. I'm from the church. 996 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 3: So that was a huge thing as well. It's in 997 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 3: the Bible to say you can't even find God in 998 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 3: the man made temple. Why don't we read that? Though? 999 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: How old did you hear that sermon? 1000 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 3: No? 1001 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,479 Speaker 1: You hear people. Pastors make the people about the church. 1002 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: We got the church name we church and the church 1003 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: and the bumper stick of the church. The church should 1004 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: be about the people. The church should be about the people. 1005 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: But the church makes the people about the church. So 1006 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: all churches now are a movement, but they're not about 1007 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: the people. They're not about serving and loving the people. 1008 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: So I just kind of pulled that we online right now, 1009 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: we're not even in the building, a physical building or 1010 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: nothing like that. So Live Church, shout out to Live Church. 1011 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: I love y'all so much. But let me ask you 1012 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: a question. 1013 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 2: Right, So, growing up in Queens, I went to Catholic school. 1014 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 2: Right his own school is the worst. So my parents 1015 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 2: was making me go to Capital School. I wasn't going 1016 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 2: to Andrew Jackson. But I noticed in Catholic school as 1017 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 2: a kid, Catholic school thirty thirty minutes, maybe thirty five, 1018 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 2: you are baut of the it's I mean, den gone, 1019 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm back home. Baptist Church is three hours, you know 1020 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 2: what I mean. 1021 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: So we don't more to say. But it's the point. 1022 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: As a kid, you know, you feel like I get 1023 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 2: everything I need in this thirty minutes. I don't need 1024 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 2: this in three and a half hours. I always wonder like, 1025 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 2: why is the church so long? Because you know, you 1026 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 2: got announcements, then you get passed it. You're gonna pass 1027 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 2: it around twice then Since then, so and so got 1028 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 2: out to talk about. 1029 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 8: And if you don't give enough on the first off, 1030 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 8: we almost reach our goal. 1031 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: Almost they double back, you know what I mean. 1032 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 3: And I think that's part of it why. 1033 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: It's so long. Yeah, I think churches have changed since then. 1034 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't think churches is three hours like that anymore. 1035 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: I've seen church trustes like ninety minutes. You know what 1036 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. They try to be more mindful of that, 1037 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: and the more you know, current churches and stuff like 1038 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: that try to they try to cut that down a 1039 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: little bit. But I think the reason is is people 1040 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: just have a lot of expression. Man, they got a 1041 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: lot of They got a lot to say, They got 1042 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: a lot to get out. You understand what I'm saying. 1043 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: I hated the law churches. I grew up Pentecostal, So 1044 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: Pentecostal church. What three hours? That's it?

But see, 1199 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 7: I think that you have to show improve that through actions, 1200 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. I think it's one thing 1201 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 7: to say, Oh, I believe in God, I love God, 1202 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 7: but do you really try to at least scribe to 1203 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 7: move the way God would want you to move? Okay, 1204 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 7: I think that's the difficult Okay. 1205 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: So it's not the belief, it's the behavior, yes, I think. 1206 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes it's the behavior of the messenger. 1207 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 6: What you mean. 1208 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 2: Somebody will say I have an assignment, right, like you said, 1209 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 2: I have an assignment. And maybe your assignment is to 1210 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 2: help just in her situation and her problem, and maybe 1211 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 2: you do, but then you as a person, it's not 1212 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,720 Speaker 2: coming from the perspective of somebody giving the assignment. 1213 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:08,919 Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. 1214 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 2: But that's what a little bit that's what makes me 1215 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 2: hard to see because you're giving the excitement, but you're 1216 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 2: not living, right. 1217 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 3: It's like, are you really giving it? Nobody around Jesus 1218 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 3: was living. 1219 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: That's all about to say, like what's your teacher living algebra? Like, 1220 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Can somebody get can somebody 1221 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: give you information that will help you? 1222 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 2: That's still flawed, right, But sometimes it's like it's that 1223 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 2: information true. If you're out there selling crack every night, 1224 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 2: giving crack tiw you you might be feelty and saving me, 1225 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 2: but then you're killing a hundred others. It's like, is 1226 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 2: this hard coming from God? Or is that coming from 1227 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,479 Speaker 2: a negative an evil, the devil? 1228 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 1229 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 1: So it's kind of got you hard to trust and 1230 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: operate and trust it. 1231 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 3: But that's acerment exactly. 1232 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: So you need the spirit as well, you know what 1233 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm saying. 1234 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 3: That's what I think. 1235 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: So when I say how you feel about God? I 1236 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: was going to ask how you feel about all of that? 1237 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: You said you two growing for the wholy but because 1238 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: I think they be playing.

Come on now we have 1504 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 2: Sarah Jake Roberts. 1505 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 9: Welcome. 1506 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 16: Thank you. 1507 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 3: How are you feeling? 1508 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 16: I feel good. I'm a little tired, but I'm glad 1509 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 16: to be here. 1510 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 7: Okay, with the new book, power Moves, ignite your confidence 1511 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 7: and become a force. 1512 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 3: Where did the inspiration for the book come from? 1513 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 16: It really started about five years ago. 1514 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 10: Whenever I had finished speaking, people would always tell me 1515 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 10: like that was so powerful. You're so powerful, but I 1516 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 10: didn't really feel powerful, like I'd be in the fight 1517 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 10: of my life up there, and I started just asking God, like, 1518 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 10: what does it mean to truly be powerful? And I 1519 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 10: feel like God just revealed to me that it has 1520 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 10: so much to do with obedience and authenticity, but not 1521 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 10: only that, that power is a flow and so what 1522 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 10: makes me powerful when I'm preaching is different than what 1523 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 10: makes me powerful as a mother. So I started digging 1524 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 10: into the fluidity of power and this notion that power 1525 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 10: moves and embracing that from season to season really started 1526 01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 10: resonating with me. 1527 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 2: I do have a question. This is gonna sound stupid, 1528 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 2: but I just want people to understand. You know where 1529 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 2: you came from and how you got into faith. I 1530 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 2: know you were here last time. So for people that 1531 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 2: don't know that, they automatically assume that your dad was 1532 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 2: in it into religion, that's what got you into it. 1533 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 1: But you had a different start with you. So let's 1534 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit first. 1535 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 2: How did you start and how did you get to 1536 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 2: where you're at now and the fact that you had 1537 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 2: your first child at fourteen, and let's let's break that. 1538 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 9: All down and he's in the studio. 1539 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 10: Don't give him that much gas. That's a child over there. 1540 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1541 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 10: So my dad has been in ministry in my whole 1542 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 10: life and growing up when I was growing up in church, 1543 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 10: like we were at church every single day of the week, 1544 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 10: and you either found this spot, you were in the choir, 1545 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 10: you were dancing, you were doing something, or you. 1546 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 16: Were like me and you were sitting in the corner somewhere. 1547 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 10: And I can remember my siblings telling me, like, you're 1548 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 10: gonna go to hell, like you can't shout on me, 1549 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 10: you can't clap, like you gonna go to hell. And 1550 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 10: I was like, you might be right, because what I'm 1551 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 10: listening to on the radio likes resonating with me. It 1552 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 10: doesn't align with what's being preached. And so I never 1553 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 10: really felt like I had a sense of belonging within faith. 1554 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 10: And then when my father's ministry kind of took off, 1555 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 10: I didn't know where I fit within the dynamic of 1556 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 10: our family at all, and so I tried to find 1557 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 10: myself at thirteen year old, trying to find herself is 1558 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 10: gonna be open to anything, and so I got pregnant 1559 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 10: at thirteen. I had my son at fourteen, which just 1560 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 10: further confirmed to me, like you not one of the 1561 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 10: good girls. And so I spent probably ten years of 1562 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 10: my life just being like, all right, faith isn't for me, guys, 1563 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 10: not for me. I'm gonna figure out what's happening outside. 1564 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 10: And I got to this space after this traumatic experience 1565 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 10: in my first marriage where I almost got arrested and 1566 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 10: I was defending the right to keep my kids, and 1567 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 10: I was like, I have tried literally everything, I might 1568 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 10: as well just try faith. And I wasn't trying to 1569 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 10: build a platform. I was trying to build myself. And 1570 01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 10: I started blogging about all of my experience. And it 1571 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 10: turns out that there were like other women who felt 1572 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 10: maybe forgotten by church, but like because they didn't. 1573 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,200 Speaker 2: Do you feel that way, like, especially because your dad 1574 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,760 Speaker 2: was in ministry, did you feel like his church forgot 1575 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 2: about you, especially that being your dad. 1576 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 10: And it's hard, like knowing what I know now, it's 1577 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 10: hard to say because I felt so much shame from 1578 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 10: having a teen pregnancy that I'm sure that there were 1579 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 10: people who were like still loving on me, but I 1580 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 10: couldn't cut through the idea of like during purity culture, 1581 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 10: the height of purity culture, you didn't got pregnant like this. 1582 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 10: It just doesn't align. And I don't know, because even 1583 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 10: my father is surprised that my life has turned in 1584 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 10: this direction. So I'm not sure if anyone thought that 1585 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 10: I was gonna be the girl talking about Jesus. But 1586 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 10: I tried it for myself and I started sharing it 1587 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 10: with like these other misfits, and it turns out there 1588 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 10: were a lot of us, like back row churchgoers who 1589 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 10: were there because we had to be but didn't fit in. 1590 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 10: And I was able to give them a voice and 1591 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 10: a language through trying to find my own voice in language, 1592 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 10: and it's resonated with them. 1593 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 3: What level of ratchet were you on a scale? 1594 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 16: It like, well, well, at the end of the day, 1595 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 16: the day's got to end. 1596 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1597 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 10: I don't even know how to answer that question. But 1598 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 10: I mean I was not outside, like I was not 1599 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 10: trying to be the good girl at all. Like I 1600 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 10: embraced this idea of like you can just do your 1601 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,040 Speaker 10: own thing and try anything. So I mean I did 1602 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 10: quite a few things. 1603 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 7: It's interesting to hear you say the bishop was surprised 1604 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,200 Speaker 7: to see how things turned out, because I'm sure him 1605 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,080 Speaker 7: and you know, the first lady was praying over you 1606 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 7: and asking God to turn you around, would makes sense, yeah. 1607 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 10: But I mean I have always been very strong willed. 1608 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 10: I've always been my own person, and so I think 1609 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 10: that they were praying. But just like we praying, we like, 1610 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 10: I don't know if you want to answer this prayer, 1611 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 10: we'll see how it happens. I don't think that they 1612 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 10: were for sure knowing that things were absolutely going to 1613 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 10: turn around. Even if they did turn around, I don't 1614 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 10: think anyone anticipates like, oh, she's going to be a ministry, 1615 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 10: because that's not necessarily a turn. 1616 01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,320 Speaker 16: Around, like maybe she'll figure out who God is. 1617 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 10: But this fact that she's also going to be a 1618 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 10: ministry in helping others, that was a wild card nobody 1619 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,439 Speaker 10: saw coming. 1620 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 2: I feel sometimes when especially when people play with the 1621 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 2: church right, and I'll tell you why I say play 1622 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 2: with the church, they come off like a very church 1623 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 2: holier than that. 1624 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 6: Right. 1625 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 2: So when they speak a lot of people actually believe 1626 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 2: it and listen because they feel like they study, they 1627 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,919 Speaker 2: go through it, they read the Bible, et cetera, et cetera, 1628 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 2: et cetera. But also you realize that person is not 1629 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 2: a good person. So where do you cross the lines 1630 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 2: of somebody taking on an assignment doing something positive. I 1631 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 2: think you spoke about it earlier, somebody giving a message 1632 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 2: opposed to who they are as a person, Like can 1633 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 2: somebody give a message and be an fed up person? 1634 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1635 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 10: I mean a broken clock. It's right twice to day, 1636 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 10: you know what I mean. You don't even have to 1637 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 10: be a Christian to say something that could be profound 1638 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,680 Speaker 10: and deep. But that doesn't change the fact that you 1639 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 10: have an opportunity to be more fully integrated in your character. 1640 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 10: But I think that the message is that resonate the 1641 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 10: most are from people who are literally walking it out, 1642 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 10: living it out, and so it does discredit the message 1643 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 10: sometimes when you're telling me something that you don't live by. 1644 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:57,720 Speaker 16: But I think about it like this. 1645 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 10: So I'm a parent, and now that my children are 1646 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 10: moving into adulthood, I recognize that many of the things 1647 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 10: that we have told them growing up, they're also realizing 1648 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 10: that I am figuring it out with them as well. 1649 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 10: And I don't know that it's a lot different in ministry, 1650 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,080 Speaker 10: like this is where the goal is? I think we 1651 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 10: all know where the goal is, but I'm still working 1652 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 10: it out too. I think where people get in trouble 1653 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,040 Speaker 10: is that they're not actually doing the work, Like I'm 1654 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 10: telling you that this is the goal, and I'm doing 1655 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 10: the exact opposite of it, Which is why I've tried 1656 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 10: to be really intentional about being authentic. Like I'm going 1657 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,560 Speaker 10: through depression, I'm going through an anxiety. This is what 1658 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 10: I'm learning in. 1659 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 16: The midst of that. 1660 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 10: Because it doesn't serve me for me to come off 1661 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 10: as your god when we all need the same one. 1662 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 10: So I try to really make sure that I'm not 1663 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 10: on a pedestal. I try to kick the pedestal down. 1664 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 2: Like you see a preacher. A preacher will be preaching, 1665 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 2: right and then he's cheating on his wife, or a 1666 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,600 Speaker 2: preacher'll be preaching and that he's hitting his wife, you 1667 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 2: know what I mean. So when you see that, it's 1668 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,720 Speaker 2: kind of difficult to uphold a preacher, and you'll be like, 1669 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 2: are we just playing this game or or do you 1670 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,640 Speaker 2: really feel that way and really made a mistake You're 1671 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:57,759 Speaker 2: see I'm saying, Well. 1672 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 10: I mean, I can't judge someone's heart, I can't judge 1673 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 10: their experiences, so I'm a little hesitant to really make 1674 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,560 Speaker 10: a judgment on situations. 1675 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 3: Say anybody in particular. 1676 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 16: People. 1677 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 10: I don't know anyone either who's going through this, but 1678 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 10: I think people infer a lot. But I will say this, like, 1679 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,600 Speaker 10: preachers are human. So if you are who you are, 1680 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 10: and you can cheat on your wife, and a preacher 1681 01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 10: can cheat on his wife, like he's a man too, 1682 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 10: she's a woman too. And so you guys are still 1683 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,640 Speaker 10: going to have the same areas of temptation that you 1684 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,680 Speaker 10: need to overcome. I think your response to that, like, 1685 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 10: what is my response? How do I grow from here? 1686 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 10: How do I create boundaries? Do I need to sit down? 1687 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:36,760 Speaker 10: Do I need to heal? 1688 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:36,920 Speaker 7: Like? 1689 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 10: I think how you handle your humanity in the face 1690 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 10: of this divine call is what's most important. I am 1691 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 10: careful that pastors don't have a license to do whatever 1692 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 10: they want to because of the power they hold. I 1693 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 10: think that you can be human, but all of us 1694 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 10: need to be try and stretching, growing to be more 1695 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 10: like Jesus or we are up here playing. I'm not 1696 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,800 Speaker 10: asking you to be perfect. I'm asking you to really 1697 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 10: be on this walk for real. 1698 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 3: Who's this white path that you talking about? 1699 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 16: And listen to the breakfast Club? 1700 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 3: All right? 1701 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 2: We got more with Sarah Jake Robins when we come back, 1702 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 2: So don't move.

I think it's the message of this book. 1717 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,640 Speaker 10: I think it's really allowing myself to like flow in 1718 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:44,920 Speaker 10: a different definition of. 1719 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 16: Power based off of each of those roles. 1720 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 10: Because as much as I want to bring the same 1721 01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 10: intensity to everything I do, if I do that, I 1722 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,560 Speaker 10: may end up damaging my children because I'm talking to 1723 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 10: them like a business partner. And so really defining for 1724 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 10: myself what does it mean to be powerful in these 1725 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,280 Speaker 10: specific roles and how much capacity do I have to 1726 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,400 Speaker 10: show up in that space asking for help, you know, 1727 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 10: Changing and modifying my life to really fit my priorities 1728 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,960 Speaker 10: has done a lot, and then also just making sure 1729 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 10: my kids know like I'm tired. 1730 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 16: So my daughter is eight.

I think one, I 1767 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 10: don't know if you have to deal with this, but 1768 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 10: I had to really forgive myself for what I didn't 1769 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,840 Speaker 10: know when I was raising you. Yeah, you know, I 1770 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 10: just I didn't know. I did the best that I 1771 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 10: could and to trust that I still have opportunity. If 1772 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 10: you think about adult children who were wounded from relationships 1773 01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,600 Speaker 10: that didn't go well with their parents, there's still a 1774 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 10: little inside of them that wants their parents to show up, 1775 01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 10: that wants to experience healing in that space, and so 1776 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,280 Speaker 10: it reminds me too that I'm never out of time. 1777 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 10: So I'm constantly still reparenting him, even at twenty one 1778 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 10: years old. 1779 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 7: You know, in the clamp Down chapter you start by saying, 1780 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,680 Speaker 7: if you're one of those people who know better and 1781 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 7: instantly do better, I'm probably gonna be the friend who 1782 01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 7: you roll your eyes at constantly. 1783 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:22,719 Speaker 3: Why are you that friend? 1784 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 10: Because things need to marinate form me, Like I don't 1785 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 10: just activate things like you can tell me like you 1786 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,200 Speaker 10: need to be vegan, and I will. I'm gonna let 1787 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 10: that marinate for a year or two before that actually activates, 1788 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 10: because I don't do things just because someone says that 1789 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 10: I should do them. 1790 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 16: It has to be real. I have to have a 1791 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 16: conviction about it. 1792 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 10: But I will marinate it so I can figure out, like, 1793 01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,680 Speaker 10: how does this revelation actually fit within the context of 1794 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,639 Speaker 10: my life. So in the back of the books, each 1795 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 10: book has something to marinate on, something to activate, and 1796 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:50,600 Speaker 10: something to pray on. 1797 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 16: Because I know everyone moves into change differently. 1798 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 7: I love the marinating before activating, but I feel like 1799 01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 7: that's probably how the majority of us moved. 1800 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,879 Speaker 3: Is there ever a time we shouldn't marin it? Before activating, 1801 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:02,599 Speaker 3: like the spirit. 1802 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 16: Said, do it we just I mean, to each his own. 1803 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 10: I think if you feel I'm not into telling folks 1804 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 10: what they should do, you know what I mean? Like, 1805 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 10: I think, if you feel like there's a now on it, 1806 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 10: you should do that. You should move in it now. 1807 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 10: And a lot of times when we move in it now, 1808 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,160 Speaker 10: we learned the Marior Nation lessons afterwards, you know. 1809 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, what about the spirit though? So the spirit 1810 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,320 Speaker 3: said move like the spirit always tells you to be 1811 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,479 Speaker 3: patient in marinate. 1812 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 16: I'm in relationship. 1813 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:32,240 Speaker 11: On that. 1814 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 16: I didn't have a choice and I didn't have a choice. 1815 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,680 Speaker 10: I didn't have a choice that, oh Lord, But yeah, no, no, 1816 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,680 Speaker 10: I was in the spirit in that I had a 1817 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,760 Speaker 10: mission to accomplish and I didn't want anything to distract me. 1818 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 10: And my husband wasn't there, my parents weren't there. So 1819 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 10: it wasn't like I was gonna be able toss the microphone. 1820 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,720 Speaker 10: I was the you know, senior leadership person that was 1821 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 10: present in that room, and so I had to take 1822 01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:57,760 Speaker 10: it off. 1823 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 16: I didn't love it. I didn't, but I stood up 1824 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:01,680 Speaker 16: to it. 1825 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 10: And I think it was really interesting because I was 1826 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:07,759 Speaker 10: going through something at that time where I was wondering 1827 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,719 Speaker 10: could I be in Dallas a part of senior leadership, 1828 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 10: like with my past, with the way that I preached, 1829 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 10: with the way that I'm a little different than I 1830 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 10: guess traditional pastors, And I really did feel like God 1831 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 10: was trying to tell me, like, just be authentic, just 1832 01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 10: trust yourself in that season of my life. And so 1833 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,559 Speaker 10: that Sunday, when I'm sitting there with a wig cap 1834 01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,320 Speaker 10: on and then other women started taking their wigs off 1835 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 10: on the altar, I was like, you know what, I 1836 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,439 Speaker 10: think this maybe God trying to tell me You're gonna 1837 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 10: have to show up as your full self in order. 1838 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 16: To get this done. 1839 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,720 Speaker 10: And I know a lot of people made fun of it, 1840 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 10: but there were so many people who were like, seeing 1841 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,000 Speaker 10: you stand there being courageous stepping into that moment helped 1842 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,600 Speaker 10: me so much to just embrace who I am. And 1843 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,719 Speaker 10: so I really feel like God took something that would 1844 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 10: have been very embarrassing and at least allowed there to 1845 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 10: be a buffer from the people who were moved by 1846 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 10: that moment. 1847 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 3: Well at least for me. I was like, that's why 1848 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 3: we rock with her. Wanting to be your true self 1849 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:02,719 Speaker 3: at all times. 1850 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,840 Speaker 10: Well, I mean like y'all know this isn't my hair, 1851 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,320 Speaker 10: and like, no, it's not ideal, but it's not more 1852 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,640 Speaker 10: important than what I'm here for. So like, I'm going 1853 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 10: to take it off and we're going to move on 1854 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,599 Speaker 10: down the road. When I got back behind the platform 1855 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,280 Speaker 10: that I was like, oh lord, I have desecrated the body. 1856 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:20,240 Speaker 12: So there are bundles on the officer. 1857 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 16: I have desecrated this place. But yeah, it just turns 1858 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:24,960 Speaker 16: out it wasn't that way. 1859 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 3: I love chapter sixteen to Know Your Harm? Oh yeah, 1860 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 3: what is knowing your heart? 1861 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 2: Uh? 1862 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 10: Well, I talk about the oath that doctors take where 1863 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 10: they say, you know that they'll do no harm, but 1864 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,560 Speaker 10: they're also recognizing that they're practicing. 1865 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 16: And when we move in power. 1866 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 10: Part of the reason why so many of us don't 1867 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 10: move in power is that we're afraid that we won't 1868 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 10: do it perfectly or that will make mistakes. But if 1869 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,200 Speaker 10: we can embrace the reality that I'm going to be 1870 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 10: powerful and humble, I'm going to be wrong, I'm going 1871 01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 10: to have to apologize, I'm going to mess up. I 1872 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 10: may say things too sharply. Then that doesn't make me 1873 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 10: any less powerful. As a matter of fact, it makes 1874 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,640 Speaker 10: me more powerful because I recognize that my position of 1875 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,680 Speaker 10: power could disrupt my relationships sometimes, but I value these 1876 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 10: relationships enough to learn how to be powerful in a 1877 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,240 Speaker 10: way that honors the spaces that I'm in. 1878 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,599 Speaker 2: Next time, what's your thought on the way that church 1879 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,680 Speaker 2: is now? Right, as a kid, you had to go 1880 01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:16,759 Speaker 2: to church every Sunday. You had to be in the building, 1881 01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 2: you had to sit there, and if there was a baptism, 1882 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,439 Speaker 2: you was gonna be there all day. Now a lot 1883 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 2: of people turn it on Sunday morning and it's a 1884 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 2: lot easier. So what are your thoughts on people not 1885 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 2: actually attending the institution of church? 1886 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 16: First of all, y'all not about to tie trip in me. No, 1887 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 16: you don't, No, you don't be very clear. Let me see. 1888 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 10: I mean, I think that the world is changing, and 1889 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 10: as the world changes, I think people are finding things 1890 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,840 Speaker 10: that are more convenient for them. And I do think 1891 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 10: that you are able to have intimate encounters with God 1892 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 10: from this comfort of your own home, and I think 1893 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 10: is powerful that that's the way that things are being spread. 1894 01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,080 Speaker 10: I think it's like watching a football game at home, 1895 01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 10: Like you can get high, you can be excited for 1896 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 10: your team, but there is something about being in the 1897 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,639 Speaker 10: room with other people that makes you just take things 1898 01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,840 Speaker 10: over the edge. I was surprised that in a world 1899 01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 10: where people are uncoming to church, ya, we have forty 1900 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 10: thousand women at the woman Evolve conference. Because I'm like, 1901 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 10: I don't know that this is a thing that people 1902 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 10: are going to really be into when they like virtual experiences, 1903 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,600 Speaker 10: but there is something that happens in healthy community and 1904 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,919 Speaker 10: connection that allows your faith. 1905 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 16: To really be strengthened. 1906 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,639 Speaker 10: I've had people come into rooms and like they didn't 1907 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 10: really want to be there, somebody drugged them in there. 1908 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 10: They were going through a depression. They don't know why 1909 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,439 Speaker 10: they were there, but just being in the space, sitting 1910 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,599 Speaker 10: next to someone who was able to care for them 1911 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,599 Speaker 10: and just being surrounded by worship lifted their spirits when 1912 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,720 Speaker 10: they couldn't lift their own hands. And I don't think 1913 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 10: that there's any substitute for that. 1914 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 3: Would you also keep it tight, though, hour that's. 1915 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:45,959 Speaker 16: Let us take something. 1916 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:51,759 Speaker 10: I don't Yeah, it's finished, he said it. Everything everything 1917 01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,680 Speaker 10: he said has been said to me, and so now 1918 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 10: we can go home and have brunch. 1919 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1920 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,920 Speaker 10: I do think we have to honor people's time because 1921 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 10: people do have options, and so being really intentional about 1922 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 10: making sure people feel like I can go get out 1923 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,000 Speaker 10: and have the rest of my day. 1924 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 16: It's part of what we should really lean into. 1925 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: I will keep a lot. 1926 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:09,720 Speaker 2: We have more with Sarah Jakes Robins when we come 1927 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:13,040 Speaker 2: back as the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club 1928 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,479 Speaker 2: Morning everybody at ej NV, Jess Hilarious, Charlomage the God 1929 01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 2: we are the Breakfast Club. 1930 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 3: We're still kicking it with Sarah Jakes, Roberts Charlamagne. 1931 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 7: Is the church whack? That's a question that you wanted 1932 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 7: the question. That's what I got smoked for. He said 1933 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 7: that he thinks the church has become whack. 1934 01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 10: I heard in context what he said made a lot 1935 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,839 Speaker 10: more sense, but I heard this sound bite was trash. 1936 01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,719 Speaker 10: I think that everyone has a different experience of church, 1937 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 10: and I think that there are some people who have 1938 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 10: probably had an experience that has disheartened them in that way. 1939 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:48,679 Speaker 16: But I love the church. 1940 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,639 Speaker 10: I mean, as much as I went through my own 1941 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 10: church hurt and trauma, the church was also really beautiful 1942 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 10: to me in times where I didn't have anywhere to 1943 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 10: go and I could sit in that presence and experience 1944 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 10: God and sometimes to really experience God. In church, you 1945 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,559 Speaker 10: have to look past the people, and maybe that's why. 1946 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 10: Maybe it's not because maybe it keeps our focus on 1947 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 10: once you really matter. 1948 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 3: I love what you said to about know your harm. 1949 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,840 Speaker 7: You said, deflecting from the way that you harm someone 1950 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 7: and highlighting the way that they harm instead is a 1951 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 7: sign of immaturity that keeps you from truly being helpful. 1952 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 3: Found on that well. 1953 01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 10: A lot of times we will not embrace what we 1954 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,680 Speaker 10: did to someone because of what they've done to us, 1955 01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,759 Speaker 10: and it keeps us from owning our stuff and growing 1956 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 10: and so being able to say, even though my teacher 1957 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 10: may not be perfect, like my teacher may have failed 1958 01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 10: in chemistry, but they getting an A plus in this 1959 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,080 Speaker 10: history class, that means that I need to at least 1960 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 10: be able to receive from them this opportunity to grow. 1961 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 10: And I feel like in relationships that's hard, especially if 1962 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 10: you're married, because when you're married, your person brings up 1963 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 10: something and you like, oh, but. 1964 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,640 Speaker 16: Last week you did X, Y and Z, But what 1965 01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 16: did you do today? 1966 01:20:58,640 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 11: You know? 1967 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 10: And how can you own that? And I think when 1968 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,600 Speaker 10: we own our stuff, we give other people permission to 1969 01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 10: do it as well. Sometimes we want to be the 1970 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,680 Speaker 10: person who receives the apology, but not the one who 1971 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 10: gives it. 1972 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,720 Speaker 16: But we have the lead in humility and vulnerability. 1973 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,120 Speaker 3: You said that's how you went to a rate word initially, right. 1974 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 16: Where oh no, yeah, no, yes, his stuff at him 1975 01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 16: all the time. 1976 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:21,960 Speaker 10: Well, I don't know if I was throwing his stuff 1977 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 10: at him as much as I was maybe reciting it 1978 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,479 Speaker 10: in my own head. But I think I will say 1979 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:29,120 Speaker 10: that when I was single, after I went through my divorce, 1980 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:30,880 Speaker 10: I finally got my life together with me and my 1981 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 10: two kids. 1982 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 16: You really could not. 1983 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,640 Speaker 10: Tell me that I was not misindependent out here. So 1984 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,320 Speaker 10: I really went into our relationship with a certain level 1985 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 10: of pride where I was like, at the end of 1986 01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 10: the day, I got my stuff together. I finally love 1987 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,560 Speaker 10: who I am and embracing it. And so when I 1988 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 10: was in relationship with him, and he would just ask 1989 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 10: me the simplest of questions. We weren't even fighting. It 1990 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 10: would just be like, why'd you do that? I didn't 1991 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 10: like that because I'm not used to having nobody questioned 1992 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,760 Speaker 10: my decais and it was a simple, harmless question. And 1993 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,120 Speaker 10: so I think that I I went into a defensive 1994 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 10: one because I wanted to protect my healing, and when 1995 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 10: you're in a marriage and you go into it trying 1996 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,160 Speaker 10: to protect yourself and make sure that you don't get 1997 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:09,639 Speaker 10: done the way that you were. 1998 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 16: Done in the past. 1999 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 10: I don't know that it's fair for creating intimacy, and 2000 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 10: so I had to do a lot of work of 2001 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,479 Speaker 10: receiving his perspective and finding it valuable so that I 2002 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 10: could become better, and I have become better as a 2003 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:21,560 Speaker 10: result of it. 2004 01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 3: What does power look like in a relationship? 2005 01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 10: Those dynamics are always changing. I think especially now that 2006 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:33,600 Speaker 10: we see, you know, hyper masculinity is beginning to be interrogated. 2007 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 10: We're seeing women move into positions where sometimes they're the 2008 01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 10: breadwinners and men are at home being more comfortable taking 2009 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 10: care of the family. I think power in a relationship 2010 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,160 Speaker 10: is recognizing the strengths of what your person carries and 2011 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 10: how that strength builds you in your area of weakness, 2012 01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,879 Speaker 10: without feeling like they have to be strong or stronger 2013 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 10: in the same area that you're strong. I think it's 2014 01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 10: like this symbiotic relationship, this flow where you're able to 2015 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,760 Speaker 10: build a life together because both of you bring something 2016 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,559 Speaker 10: different to the table, and to honor that, to really 2017 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 10: honor it is important. 2018 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:08,559 Speaker 3: You said something else in the book. 2019 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 7: You said when you are unable to connect the dots 2020 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,040 Speaker 7: between who you since you could become and who you 2021 01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,120 Speaker 7: presently are, it doesn't just cause internal frustration. It renders 2022 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 7: you powerless. And one of the examples you use is 2023 01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,560 Speaker 7: you don't defend yourself when misunderstood. Yeah, and to me, 2024 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,479 Speaker 7: not feeling to need to explain yourself is powerful. 2025 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 10: Well, I think not explaining yourself and not defending yourself, 2026 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,560 Speaker 10: and I think it's different because you have a platform 2027 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 10: and so you can't defend yourself twenty four to seven. 2028 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 10: But when we're in intimate relationships with someone and they 2029 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 10: have an expectation of who we are or this idea 2030 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,640 Speaker 10: of who we are, and we don't change that, we 2031 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 10: allow them to believe it, we do end up powerless 2032 01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 10: because I'm not even bringing the full version of who 2033 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,520 Speaker 10: I am into this friendship, into this parent child dynamic, 2034 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 10: And you end up robbing yourself of the ability to 2035 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 10: really show up in your power and allow them to 2036 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 10: believe something about you that's not true. And so it 2037 01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,360 Speaker 10: is powerful to be like you got me messed up, 2038 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,559 Speaker 10: Like that's not what I believe, that's not what I think, 2039 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 10: and if we're going to walk this thing, guy, I 2040 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 10: want you to know who I am for real, so 2041 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 10: that you can know what to expect from me. 2042 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 3: Okay, guys, you talk about intimate relationship. 2043 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, it's hard. It's hard for me. 2044 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 8: He's doing is telling them the book they're not going 2045 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 8: to buy. 2046 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 14: If you asking all the questions about the book, making 2047 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 14: her basically recite. 2048 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 3: The book, you should pray to your bob looks like hers, 2049 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:30,480 Speaker 3: That's what you should. 2050 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:31,599 Speaker 2: Now, why is my bob? 2051 01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:37,320 Speaker 9: He can get here? 2052 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 1: And when she pulled the wig off, I. 2053 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 8: Would the dressing world. 2054 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:51,559 Speaker 9: Questions them. 2055 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 3: So you forced me to see, Well, what message you 2056 01:24:57,840 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 3: hoping people get from the book? 2057 01:24:59,000 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 2: Oh? 2058 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 10: The mess is that I am hoping people get from 2059 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,760 Speaker 10: the book is that power is a flow and that 2060 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 10: power that you have experienced in your past is still 2061 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,800 Speaker 10: present in your future. It must, it just might be 2062 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,640 Speaker 10: taking on a different form. So to be open to 2063 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 10: how power is being redefined in your present. 2064 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:20,320 Speaker 3: Us to prayer. 2065 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:25,599 Speaker 10: Thank you God for this opportunity, for this platform, Thank 2066 01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 10: you for using these voices at this stage in their life. 2067 01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 10: And I'd usually pray for the listeners, but God, I 2068 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 10: want to pray for them, that you would stir up 2069 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,320 Speaker 10: the gift of God that's on the inside of them, 2070 01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 10: that you would highlight the areas of their life where 2071 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 10: you want them to experience more of your power and 2072 01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,479 Speaker 10: to show them the power that you've placed inside of them. 2073 01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 10: I thank you God for giving them wisdom strategy, not 2074 01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 10: just for their careers, but for their family, their emotional 2075 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,639 Speaker 10: health and wellness.
