1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Since the age of four, I have been involved in

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: organized sports and dedicated the whole first half of my

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: life pursuing a destiny of being an elite athlete. And

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I had literally hundreds of coaches come across my path

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: and that quest, and since I was in the Sealed Teams,

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I had dozens and dozens of instructors that had profound

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: impact on me.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: And then even being out in my.

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: Professional life and all the different sports teams and coaches

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I've worked with myself, but I have never met an

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: individual that has had such a long lasting and deep

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and profound impact on the.

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Men that he coached.

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: I've had the incredible opportunity to meet and work as

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: colleagues with twenty plus of his former players, and it's

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: them that introduced me to the idea of what it

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: really meant to be a servant coach, to be somebody

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: that utilizes God as a primary force of influence to

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: shape young men into becoming the men they hope to become.

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: And so ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. It is

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: an unbelievable privilege and pleasure to welcome coach Mike Swider,

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: former head football coach of twenty three years at Wheaton College,

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: a D three school in Wheaton, Illinois, with nine CCIW championships,

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: seven Division three tournament appearances, and seven CCIW Coach of

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: the Year awards. So, without further ado, Coach, it is

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: an incredible honor to have you on the show.

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Thank you well.

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: It's great to be here, David, it really is.

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: It's you know, you call it a privilege to have

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: an opportunity to speak.

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: With me and share, and I the feeling is mutual.

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: It really is.

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: Your legacy and your history and your reputation precedes you

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: as well. And like iron sharpens iron, so does one

35
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 4: man sharpen another. And that's why it's critical that men

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: surround themselves by like minded men who are common goals

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: and common ambitions and common values.

38
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: And you know, we have a.

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: World that can beat us down, in a world that

40
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: can just through social media and everything else, can just

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: absolutely inundate you with all kinds of ideas, and your

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: self esteem can get just get beat up. But when

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 4: you know for a fact that your identity is in

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: Christ and that can't change no matter what happens.

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: You're a son or child of God and.

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 4: That doesn't change, and then you also surround yourself by

47
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: by men that like mind and that can challenge you

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: and you look you in the eye and say how

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: you doing? No, no, really know how you do it?

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: And and and have those men in your life, it's

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: it's great.

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: And so I if I can knew.

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: You better, I would count you as one of those

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 4: for me if we were close by with the greater proximity.

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, Now that we're connected, there's

56
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: a definitive.

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: Chance that in my future.

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Endeavors, if I should be af forwarded the opportunity of

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: working with some great teams again in the future, I'm

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: going to call you up for sure and ask for

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: advice on how to improve it is what I do

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: for a living.

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what.

64
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: I there's a YouTube video that Justin Zeller, one of

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: your players who's also just a phenomenal human being, sent

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: me a few months ago, and I watched this and

67
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it's a speech that you gave at Wheaton Chapel and

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: it was the speech is titled Walk with God. And

69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: in that speech you listed five ideas that really you

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: have implemented to try and educate your players onto the

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: deeper meaning of what it meant to be a servant, right,

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: not only just a servant to their fellow players or

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: a servant to the coaches, a servant to their community

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: at the school or the school itself, but what it

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: meant to build the foundation so they could go on

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: to serve at.

77
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: A higher level.

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Can you describe that speech and where it came from,

79
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: and then maybe go through those five things and how

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: it can apply to young players or young better for

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: better purposes, young coaches out there that are trying to

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: figure out what their philosophy looks like and what's the

83
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: best way to impact their players.

84
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me just begin with two things, and then

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: we can actually run through that those five expectations that

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: have to be involved and have to be part of

87
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: your daily life. I mentioned this to you when we

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: first spoke David, that he's the here's the importance of

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: coaches as we speak to coaches, men, even fathers. I

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 4: was raised in a home where there wasn't a day

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: in my life that my father didn't reaffirm to me

92
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: that God loved me, that I was not an accident,

93
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: that I was created by a sovereign God for a purpose,

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 4: and that that God loved me and there was nothing

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: I can do to lose that love, and there was

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: nothing I could do to earn that love, and that

97
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: my life was purposeful and that that purpose was going

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: to be executed by him.

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: My dad told me that every day.

100
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: I wasn't an accident. My second thing, my dad told

101
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: me every day. My dad was a World War two

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 4: bet I told you that earlier.

103
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: So he was, you know, part of the.

104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: Greatest generation, grew up there in the depression, that had

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: a gun in his hand at eighteen and a half.

106
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: So second thing he told me every day was that

107
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: he loved me. God loved me.

108
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: And there's nothing I could ever do to keep my

109
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: father from loving me. And so every day of my

110
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 4: life I would come home fifteen sixteen, come home from

111
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: high school, whatever it was. You know, your image could

112
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: get beat up. Good days, bad days, whatever it was.

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: And I walked through a home where I knew, beyond

114
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: a shadow of a doubt, that the maker of this universe,

115
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: the god to put the stars in the sky, that

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: created me for a purpose.

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: And I wasn't an accident.

118
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: And then I walked into home and my father told

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: me every day he loved me. And the third thing

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: my dad told me is that I love your mother.

121
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: And there was never a day in a life in

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: my life. Then my father and mother didn't sleep in

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 4: the same bed until the day my dad died.

124
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: He died of cancer. He slept in the same bed.

125
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: And so I was three for three.

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 4: David, I have no excuses for my life. I was

127
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 4: a young man that grew up and you know, I

128
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: was growing up in the sixties. It was crazy now,

129
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: it's crazy then too, But I and I walked into

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: a home where my identity wasn't wrapped around what happened

131
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: to me all day long. My identity was wrapped around

132
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: that a God who loved me, a dad who loved me,

133
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: and a dad who loved my mom, and those things

134
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 4: weren't changing. Here's the problem, David, and to all the

135
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: coaches everybody out there, most kids today are zero for three.

136
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: Wow.

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: Most kids today are growing up in homes, and they're

138
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: growing up in homes. We're talking to men. They're growing

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: up in homes where nobody's telling them. The father's not

140
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: telling them God loves them, the father's probably not even

141
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: in a fifty percent of the time, the file is

142
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: not in the home and the file's not a loving mom,

143
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: and then we expect that young man to go out

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: there and find his identity and what and they're finding

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: the identity that every single thing that hits them in

146
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: the mouth throughout the day.

147
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: I don't have any excuses, and so here's.

148
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: The reason I preface, and I start by saying that

149
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: is coaches. There's a problem, and that's where you step in.

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: That's why I coached. And that's the first thing you

151
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: got to understand is why are you coaching? Is this

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: your ego? Is this you want to set records, you

153
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: want to have something to boast about, a trophy, whatever,

154
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: Why are you coaching? And if you're not coaching to

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: address a problem that's in our culture and to inspire

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: young men, then you're coaching for the wrong reason. I'm

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: not saying winning is not important. Trust me, nobody wants

158
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: to win more and I do. I'm telling you right

159
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: now I will lay in a hot tire roof longer.

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: Than you to win. But that's not the first reason

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: I coach.

162
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: The first reason I coach is to inspire young men

163
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: and ultimately to love God, which we can talk about

164
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: some today. That's why I'm coaching. So all the coaches

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: out there, that's why you do what you do. And

166
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: if that's not your priority, it'll never show up in

167
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: your coaching. It's not going to show up. It's only

168
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: going to show up if that's your priority. And it

169
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: says in It says in Matthew six thirty three. But

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,

171
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: and then all these things will be added under you.

172
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: Here's the problem. We've chased all those things first and

173
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 4: never find the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. When

174
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: I speak to business man, it's not bad to chase money.

175
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: I all those guys at First Trust. Jim Bowen was

176
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 4: a teammate of mine. I said, if you're in the

177
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: business I was in the business world, I'd be kicking

178
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: your button. I'd be making a million more than you are.

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: I would.

180
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: I told that to zeller Man, You'd be number two

181
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: and I'd be number one. But that's that can't be

182
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: your first goal in football and coaches. Your first goal

183
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: should be win, win, win, win win, Because here's what happens.

184
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: You will prostitute yourself for that dollar, and you will

185
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: prostitute yourself for that w yeah, and you will never

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 4: find the Kingdom of God, and you will never influence

187
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: people for Christ.

188
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: So it's a priority thing. That's the first thing.

189
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: I can sit here and chat all day long about

190
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: these things that got to be instilled. But if these

191
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: things that you're instilling are coming second, third, and fourth

192
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 4: on your priority list, the kid's going to figure it

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: out and be going to figure it out. It's an afterthought.

194
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: It's an absolute afterthought. And so that would be the

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: first thing that I would say before I get into

196
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: these things. And then the other thing I would say, David,

197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: and you you understand this is better than anybody does.

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: If you don't live these things, you have no shot.

199
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: You have no shot in tech. I call it integrity.

200
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: Integrity is the absolute supreme quality of any leader. Dwight

201
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: Eisenhower said it. I think Dwight Eisenhower is the greatest

202
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: leader of all time. And you can argue with me,

203
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 4: but you're gonna lose that argument.

204
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you on that one.

205
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: West Point grad rose to its five star general and

206
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: became president.

207
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: You know what anybody else has done?

208
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: That no means he you know what he said, Integrity

209
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: is a number one quality of a.

210
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: Leader, and here's what integrity is.

211
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: What you say and how you live sync up what

212
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: you represent the model of First Trust or business or

213
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: Wheaton College of your family being a believer here are

214
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: here's the model, and here's.

215
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: What this stuff stands for. Here's how I live.

216
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: If those two don't sync up, it's you're not gonna

217
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 4: teach your players anything. They're gonna see through you in

218
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: a second. You have to live it before you say it.

219
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: You've got to live it and they've got to see

220
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 4: it in your life. First, there's got to be authenticity, David.

221
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: Without authenticity, your words, they are absolutely they rendered meaningless.

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: And so that's what.

223
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: I would say to these coach, the coaches that are

224
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: listening in men and who's ever out there, is that

225
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,239
Speaker 4: your integrity?

226
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: Do you do you? And here's another way you can

227
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 3: explain it. You're in a business world. Men of integrity

228
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: regularly audit the state of their soul. Wow, first trust.

229
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: First Trust doesn't audit every year, maybe two a year.

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: Money in money out right, here's what we're bringing in.

231
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: Here's how it's being spent. Well, a lot more's coming in.

232
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: I don't see it being spent or more's beings.

233
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: And you know, they got to They gotta line them up.

234
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: If you don't line them up regularly, something gets out

235
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: of whack and then you fall down. You gotta audit

236
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: the state of your soul. Here's what it means, the

237
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: coaches and men. Here's what I say. Here's how I live.

238
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: Does it add up?

239
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: Here's my vows to my wife. Here's how I'm living.

240
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: Does it add up? I represented Wheaton Football. Here are

241
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: our core values.

242
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: Here's my life. Does it add up?

243
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: Wow? I claim Christ is my savior. These are the values.

244
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: Here's what I say. What do I talk about today?

245
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: Here's how I live? Does it add up? If it

246
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: done that up, you have no shot. We can sit

247
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: here and talk all you want to, these coaches out here,

248
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: but if.

249
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: You're not living this stuff, you ain't gonna infhone anybody,

250
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: no aboudy at all, not a person in your life.

251
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: And so you know, I would preface everything we talk

252
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: about by those two things, that you've got to prioritize

253
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: these things, and you've got to live these things because

254
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: your life, your life will teach your kids more than

255
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: any word that comes out of your mouth, you know,

256
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 4: And it set all those guys I mean they that's

257
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 4: what they said. Coach man, you lived it. You know

258
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 4: it can come to just training demands. I was, I

259
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: would in the weight room, I was running, I was

260
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: doing everything with them. Man, you know it's I couldn't

261
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: do as much as them at the end, but I

262
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: was there. I got I got five art official joints.

263
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: Now to specify.

264
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: I love the legendary story. What's the one about you, uh.

265
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: Running the what was it?

266
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: The mile?

267
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: You had to do the bile and you did three

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: of them.

269
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: Back about run, we had had a twelve minute Yeah,

270
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: a twelve minute run.

271
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: I first came in.

272
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 4: When I first came in, I made all these demands

273
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 4: and I said, I got it.

274
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: There's only one thing to make these guys do, and

275
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: they're going to see someone.

276
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: So we had to run a twelve minute run based

277
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: on your height, your weight, your position.

278
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: You know.

279
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: The big guys had run it, obviously not as far

280
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: as the little guys anyhow, So I said, this is

281
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: what we're doing. And I wasn't the head coach at

282
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: the time. I said, but this is what we're doing.

283
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: And maybe you know, this kind of aerobic capacity doesn't

284
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 4: equate to a football player, but you know what, I

285
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: want to find out who's got it down inside.

286
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: I want to find.

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: Who's going to do something because I said, you got

288
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: to do it, and who's going to fight through it.

289
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 4: This is gonna tell me who you are and if

290
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to handle everything else.

291
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: I'm in a demand. So I said, here's what I'm

292
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: gonna do. We did it.

293
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: We did a twelve minute run for three different position groups,

294
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: and then within a minute we did another one for

295
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: the next We would get it done in thirty six minutes.

296
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: I said, I'm gonna run every single one.

297
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to run the first one with the first group,

298
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna run the second one the second group. I'm

299
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: gonna run a third one with a third group, and

300
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make the standard of the fastest group on

301
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: every group. And so I went back to back to

302
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: back and set the standard on every single group.

303
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, all of a sudden, you know what happens. When

304
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: I challenged him, the runner sprints the next day. You

305
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: know what happened.

306
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: They believe me, Yes they did.

307
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: You can't.

308
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: You can't manufacture that stuff, man, you can't. You who

309
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: you are, it's everything you know. People don't follow titles.

310
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: They follow leaders. People that follow title, you know what

311
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: they followed, They follow a life, that's what they follow.

312
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: They don't. And if your life.

313
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: And your words don't sync up what we share today

314
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: on your show, David, we can talk about anything, it's

315
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: not going to matter. So I had to start with that.

316
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: And then the third thing I wanted just to mention

317
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: before we really jump into this, and is what I

318
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: had shared with you earlier too. You know, we got

319
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: a as believers, we got under it. Really it's anybody,

320
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: but as believers, we know we are attorney done. We

321
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: have two days in life guarantee. We got today, David,

322
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: I'm on your show. We got that guaranteed.

323
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: God gave us that. He's like, we got today.

324
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: And the only other guarantee we got, David, is the

325
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: day we see God. Those are the only two days

326
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: we got guaranteed. Here's the problem. We live in a

327
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: world as if that day is they were going to come.

328
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you right now, it could come tomorrow.

329
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: Mike Leach, coach Mississippi State's coaching in a practice before

330
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: a bowl game, and four o'clock that afternoon, he passes

331
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: away from a massive heart attack.

332
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: You don't know.

333
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: We all know stories about people woke up that day

334
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: and it was their last day. If we all lived

335
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: life in light of the day we see God, every

336
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: single person would live differently. Nobody would worry about peer pressure,

337
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: nobody worry about anything. We would all live differently. And

338
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 4: what we're going to talk about today would always be priorities.

339
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: Everything you would it would reset your priorities in a second,

340
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: It would reset everything.

341
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: And and but we don't do that, and we forget that.

342
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: And so I think if we we we adjust everything.

343
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to say based on those three things.

344
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: You know, setting your priorities, make sure your priorities are right,

345
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: live it, and remember that you could see God tomorrow

346
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 4: and you're to stand before him on the brink of eternity.

347
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: I think you'd be much more apt to make these

348
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 4: a priority as you coach, rather than winning and losing.

349
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: The wnting and losing will happen. I'm telling you, I

350
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: can get on a board and I can diagram stuff

351
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: with the best of them. I'll I can go x

352
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: and os with you to the Cole's come home. That's

353
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: That's not what Justin Zeller and Chris Bosson. Remember right now,

354
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: do they David, No, I don't remember that now.

355
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: You remember everything.

356
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: Else once they didn't have to compromise winning, and you

357
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: don't have to compromise making money in the business world. People,

358
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 4: you can make your money. But I'm gonna tell you

359
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: right now, if you don't put God first, man, the

360
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: rest of your life will get twisted up. So anyhow,

361
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: just a little preface to some of these things.

362
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: I take that's the whole show. Right there, We're done.

363
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: We could probably do ten shows.

364
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: Well as this as it's involving.

365
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: All I'm taking to my head is, man, I'm gonna

366
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: get him on at least on the phone with me

367
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: once once every month, just to get that motivation that

368
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: get them on the show, to motivate my audience, you know,

369
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: once a quarter.

370
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: So don't worry, that's gonna happen, coach for sure.

371
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, here, here's here's why we'll start this chat

372
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: that I had.

Speaker 2: Thank you for joining.

374
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: I apologize for the interruption, but we've got to give

375
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: a little love to one of our main sponsors. That's

376

389

390

Speaker 1: all together, they box it and they send it out together.

401
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: First, I have a statement that you never rise to

402
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 4: the occasion. You always default to your level of preparation.

403
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: You know this.

404
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 4: I mean if a Navy seal doesn't know it, nobody

405
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: knows it.

406
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: We live and die by it.

407
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: Paron me.

408
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 2: We live and die by that motto.

409
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to you know alla rise that. No,

410
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 4: you default all your preparation. Nobody's going to ever perform

411
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: and do some of these heroic things in any walk

412
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: of life, whether it's a fireman, a football player, a guy.

413
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: In the army, whatever it is.

414
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: Now's ever going to rise to this this level of

415
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 4: competency and a performance just because the moment inspired them.

416
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: Because we're all gonna start.

417
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: Squeezing something really tight and we're gonna fail, but we

418
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: we just default to what we've been repeatedly done for years.

419
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 4: Prior problem is people get bored with repetition, They get

420
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: bored with all this stuff, and then when the moment comes,

421
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: it's it's not it's not a natural instinct. And if

422
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: you got to think about every single thing you're cooked,

423
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: you are absolutely cooked. So I would say, these are

424
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 4: things that you know, you've got to regularly, you know,

425
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 4: incorporate into your life and and and core values. And

426
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: they come by reading scripture. I said, you know youve

427
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: got to. If you're not reading the scripture every day,

428
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: and you're not praying every day, and you're not church

429
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday, and you're not in a small group, and

430
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 4: you're not involving acts of service, you're you're never gonna

431
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 4: be close to God and you're never going to be

432
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: prepared for anything. And so I would challenge them with that.

433
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 4: And so let's start with the first. The first one

434
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 4: that I think is absolutely critical. If in that moment

435
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 4: of truth in your life, that moment of truth, you're

436
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 4: you know, your your marriage with you, you're on Friday night,

437
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 4: you're on a business trip, that moment of truth comes.

438
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: Are you going to walk with God when you could

439
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 4: compromise yourself with a deal that's not square? Are you

440
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: going to walk with God when you're going to lose

441
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: your patience? It's who do you fear? That's principal number one.

442
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: Who do you fear? Do you fear God? Or do

443
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: you fear man? And I can tell who you fear

444
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: within ten minutes, within ten minutes, who you fear, because

445
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: you know what, when the next guy gets in front

446
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: of you, you fear him. And when you don't fear God,

447
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 4: you become this amoeba who just forms to his environment.

448
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: Whoever I'm around, whatever group I'm around, I'm this politician

449
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: who speaking to the veterans of foreign wars, to the

450
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 4: team stirs, to liberal Hollywood, to all and you know

451
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: what talk changes?

452
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: Who are you? You know what I want?

453
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: I want?

454
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: The guy says the same dagone thing.

455
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: Everybody stands in front of that guy, and when comes

456
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: your faith, that guy is the guy that fears God.

457
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 4: Because you base whether you're a politician, you base your

458
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 4: life and your decisions on what does God think? I

459
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: could see him tomorrow? What would God want me to do?

460
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: What would you want me to say? I would get

461
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 4: in front of a group of people when I speak,

462
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: and one of the things I always say to start with,

463
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 4: I say, listen, I hope all you end up liking

464
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: me when I'm done talking here, But to be honest

465
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 4: with you, with all due respect, even in this conversation

466
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 4: with me, I don't care whether you like me or not.

467
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: I really don't.

468
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: I hope you do, but I don't. I'm not saying

469
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 4: this so you like me. I could see God tomorrow.

470
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: And you know what, guy, I want God to say

471
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: to me. Man, oh Man, you represented me well on

472
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: David's show, A New Central Standard Time.

473
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: That's what I want to hear. You said.

474
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: I don't want to be said. One hundred different people

475
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 4: liked me. No, I hope they do, but if they don't,

476
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: it's irrelevant. And so that's the fear of God.

477
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: Who do you fear?

478
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: Who are you all to me? Accountable to? Who influences

479
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 4: your choices? You know, it's called peer pressure. For we

480
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: tell our junior high kids, your junior high son, don't

481
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 4: worry about people think, And the fifty year old is

482
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: worry about someone thinks in the marketplace. He's worried about

483
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 4: what someone thinks in the in the political realm. You know,

484
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 4: it's it's lunacy. We demand from our junior high kids

485
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: to not respond to peer pressure, and.

486
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: We live a life based on peer pressure. It's sad.

487
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 4: It's sad. It's absolutely sad. And so what I would

488
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 4: always tell my kids growing up that the fear of

489
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: the Lord is the beginning of wisdom at Psalm one

490
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: eleven ten.

491
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: It's the beginning of wisdom.

492
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 4: And don't, like I said, don't ever base your decisions

493
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: on public opinion, based on conviction, based on the fear

494
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: of God. And when you fear God and when you

495
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: regularly ought at the state of your soul.

496
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something. You're going to live a life.

497
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: You know what, It's.

498
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: Consistent, Yes, And that's what people are gonna follow. They're

499
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 4: going to follow a consistent life. And a consistent life

500
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 4: can only be lived if your convictions and your actions

501
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: are based on what would God want me to do?

502
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 3: And I'm worried.

503
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: About what He is going to respond, how he's gonna

504
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: respond when I see him, and I could see him tomorrow.

505
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna tell you something. Right now, most of

506
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 4: the world thinks God didn't even exists. They don't think

507
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: he exists, or they don't think they're going to see him.

508
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 4: And then you wonder why we just float around in

509
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: this this this world, and we just bounce around with change,

510
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: and we change, and nobody's following, nobody's adjusting.

511
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: And so I think that's the first.

512
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: Thing that we got to do as men and as coaches,

513
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 4: is that we got to live a life that's consistent, yes,

514
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: our core values, with our convictions that have been based

515
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 4: on Scripture and what God would want me to do.

516
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 4: And that's the first thing we got instill in young people.

517
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: And that's the first thing you got to do to live.

518
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: When you live, is everything's got to be based on

519
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 4: there's I would finish every practice.

520
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: We're at a Christian school, and so we.

521
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: Lived our life based on at least the core values

522
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: were the principles of the Scripture, and I finish every practice.

523
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: I'd say, Man, you.

524
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: Know the difference between right and wrong deep in your soul,

525
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: justin Zeller, deep in your soul.

526
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: You know the difference. Choose right, choose right when it comes.

527
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: To your walk with God, when it comes to your kids,

528
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: when it comes to your wife, when it comes.

529
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: To a deal you got to make choose right and

530
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: choose right. And what is right right? Right, right, doesn't change. Right,

531
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: doesn't depend upon your environment. Right, that's right. Right, was

532
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: what God says.

533
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: What would the God that I'm going to see want

534
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: me to do on the brink of eternity.

535
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: That's the fear of God. And when you fear God

536
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: and you.

537
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 4: Regularly audits the state of your souls, I'm gonna tell

538
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: you right now, you'll be different.

539
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: I've also said this many times.

540
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: Your reputation is merely what men and women think of you.

541
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 4: Your character and your integrity is what God and the

542
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: angels know. David Ruthford would have God and the angels

543
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: know about your soul. Mike Sweider, Mike Switer would have

544
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: God and the angels know about my soul. Man, am

545
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: I worried about what they think? Because your reputation can change. Well,

546
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: this person thinks I'm great, That person thinks I'm a bomb.

547
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 4: I coach, that parent thought I was the greatest coach

548
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 4: in the world. A parent of a kid I didn't play,

549
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 4: I thought.

550
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: I was a bomb.

551
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 4: You know that's my reputational You know my character is

552
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: That's what God and the angels know about me. And

553
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: that's when you have character and you have integrity. It's

554
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 4: always based on the fear of God, and that would

555
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: be the first thing that you got to default to.

556
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: How you live is fearing God. The second thing I

557
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 4: always say was trusting God. You gotta fear God and

558
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: you gotta trust God. Who do you trust so or

559
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: Proverbs three five says says trust in the Lord with

560
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: all your heart, and what lean not on your own

561
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 4: understanding in all your ways. Acknowledge him and he will

562
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 4: make your path straight. But what we do first we

563
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: lean on our own understanding. When something crazy happens, we

564
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 4: immediately try to decide why. But then first I say, Okay,

565
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna trust God's for this. It's the first time

566
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: we do. I'm gonna get on my knees and I'm

567
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 4: gonna trust God.

568
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean we don't work. We don't mean we

569
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 3: don't apply our understanding, but it's a priority thing.

570
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: Again, I'm gonna trust God through this process and that

571
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 4: this is occurring in my life not because of chance,

572
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: not because of bad luck, but because a sovereign God

573
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 4: is allowing it into my life. That God loves me.

574
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 4: He demonstrated his love by dying on the cross from me.

575
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: I will trust him, and that's the first thing I'm

576
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: gonna do. I'm gonna trust him through this, and then

577
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get to work. But I'm gonna trust him

578
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 4: that this is not a random class. This is something

579
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: that has been filtered through the hand of God who

580
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: loves me.

581
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: I say this all the time for people who have kids.

582
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, when my eight year old six year old,

583
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: my second one, little Mike Mikey, he runs in the

584
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: street chasing a ball in between two part cars, bolts

585
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 4: out there, I grab him and I spank his little behind.

586
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: I know you can't do that anymore, but I did it. Okay,

587
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: now we got that out of the way. Okay, I

588
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: spank him. I said, you can't do that. You can't

589
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: do that. And he doesn't understand why. He doesn't even

590
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: he has no conception. So here's what I say to him.

591
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: Because it was a bad moment in his life. He

592
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: felt pain, he was deprived of joy of chasing a ball.

593
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: I say number one, I say, does Daddy love you?

594
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: Through a sniffle, Daddy loves me?

595
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: How do you know Daddy loves you? Tell me how

596
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: you know I love you. I want you to verbalize

597
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: that for me right now. Well, because you give me food,

598
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: or you play baseball with me, or you you take

599
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: me to the Yankees game, or whatever what you do

600
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: for me, or you you came home early from work,

601
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 4: or you sacrifice, So you know I love you and

602
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 4: you can verbalize how you know I love you? And

603
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: you say it's because I love you that I'm doing this,

604
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: and you know my next statement.

605
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: Is trust me, trus trust me.

606
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: You trust somebody who has demonstrated his love for you.

607
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: You're a Navy seal. Those guys have demonstrated their loves

608
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 4: for you. That's why you trust them. They've already demonstrated

609
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 4: that you can trust them by the lives they've lived

610
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: and by what they've done. We're not trusting a god

611
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: that is some out there god that is distant, that's abstract.

612
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: We are trusting a God with our days who took

613
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: his son and put him on a cross and died

614
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: because that was the penalty we were going to face

615
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: in after death if we didn't put our faith in God.

616
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: And so then I use this example. I have my

617
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: older son. I put him in front of our team

618
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: David every Easter. I put him my iron around it

619
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: when he was playing, put my arm around and said,

620
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: here's the deal, you hunter guys, you're condemned to death.

621
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: Row You're going to die because what you've done, that's

622
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: your penalty.

623
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: It's death. But I got a plan, and my son,

624
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: my son, he's in on the plan too. And here's

625
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 3: what we're going to do. He's going to go and

626
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: die for you and you all going to live. He's

627
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: gonna die, my son who you know, He's going to die,

628
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: and you're gonna live.

629
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 4: And so I watched my son get beaten beyond human recognition,

630
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: and I allowed him to dine across when I could

631
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: have stopped at anytime. And I allow my son to

632
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: be executed so David Rutherford could live. You know that's happened.

633
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: Would you ever not trust me, David? No, not a

634
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: shot now, not a shot. Would you ever not talk

635
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 4: to me? You never not pray to me?

636
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 3: Pray me to God? I mean now that you know.

637
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: Would you ever not read my words? Listen to me.

638
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 3: We don't talk to a god.

639
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: Read his words, speak to him, ask him, and trust

640
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: to God who let his.

641
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: Own son take our death penalty. Shame on us, man.

642
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 4: And if we're gonna make it, if we're gonna make

643
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: people of influence coaches, we got to make.

644
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: Sure our players understand that they are trusting.

645
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 4: A God whose son died so that we can live,

646
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: and that that God's going to allow things in our

647
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: life with losses tough times that we have no concept

648
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: of my second So on a note, why don't understand?

649
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: Why trust me? I love you? That's all we need

650
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 3: to know.

651
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: You know what's going to happen someday, though understand and

652
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: something you understand God too. When my son was ten

653
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 4: years old, he came up to me, he says, Dad,

654
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: I understand now why he spanked me when I was six?

655
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: I understand, and you always said next, thank you, thank you.

656
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 4: We don't understand everything God puts in our life right now,

657
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: do we? Now? He's fine, He's infinite and we're finite.

658
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: I was forty years old and my son was six.

659
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 4: If a six year old can understand a forty year

660
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 4: old mind, it it's not very good. So I asked

661
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 4: him to trust that forty year old money because I

662
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 4: loved him. And God is infinite, infinite, and we're I'm

663
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: seventy years old. I'm called to trust that infinite mind

664
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: who loves me. And so when things come in my way,

665
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: my first recipes would be, not your bitterness, someone's trying

666
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: to screw.

667
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: Me over, not any of this is why did this happen? I?

668
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: No, no, no, there's purpose in every day in my

669
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 4: life and that purpose is being allowed by a God

670
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: who demonstrated his love for me.

671
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: Trust him. Now get to work, Yes, now get to work.

672
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: Now get to work.

673
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: You know, fear God, Now get to work.

674
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean we rail over and die and who

675
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: we you know, I always said this. The greatest airplane

676
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: pilots ought to be believers, the greatest navy seals ought

677
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 4: to be believers. The greatest businessman ought to be believers.

678
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: You know why they ought to be believers because you

679
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: know what our days and our and and and and

680
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: the results of everything we do is already determined by God.

681
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: And we're just being obedient to a God we love.

682
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: I love it anyhow, you know.

683
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 4: I could go on and on and on and all that,

684
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: but it's you know, the other example I use all

685
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: the time about trust is you know the story of Jesus,

686
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 4: And there was that storm and the disciples were in

687
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: a boat and Peter. They're all worried, and all of

688
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: a sudden, Jesus is walk comes walking on the water,

689
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 4: and there's there's turbulence and why and Jesus calls Peter

690
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 4: and he calls Peter out of the boat.

691
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: He says, ah, love that did he call him out

692
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 3: of the boat to watch him drown?

693
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 4: No? Why did he call him out of the boat

694
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: to do something special with his life like walk on water?

695
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 3: And all Peter had to do was trust them. It

696
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense. It made no sense what God

697
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: was asking him to do. But God will never do

698
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: anything remarkable with your life.

699
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 4: And as he step out of the boat and trust

700
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: the God who died for you, and then you know

701
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 4: what happened.

702
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: You'll walk on water. You walk on water. Amen? And

703
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: so the.

704
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: Trust part again. I could go on and on, but

705
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 4: that that was the second thing I mentioned. And uh,

706
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: the third thing I talked about was we mentioned it

707
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 4: briefly here already. But seeky first Matthew six thirty three,

708
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: The Kingdom of God.

709
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: It's setting your priorities. You know, our identity has to

710
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: be in Christ, our idea.

711
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: My son I coached baseball with my son and he says,

712
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: all the times of your identity is if you're at

713
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 4: bat well, your identity is going to be good thirty

714
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 4: percent of the time because you hit three okay, so

715
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: you know, are you win one for five to day

716
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna think you stunk four times.

717
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: In your identity. You just made an air I mean

718
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 3: your identity. It can't be in that.

719
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 4: The only people whose identity is level is the people

720
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 4: whose identity is in Christ.

721

Speaker 3: Thank you.

749
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 4: That's why what I told you when they've started out,

750
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 4: I never questioned my identity.

751
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 3: My dad told me my I Dinny was in God.

752
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 4: My next identity I was his son, and the next

753
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 4: identity was I had a father that loved his mother.

754
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 3: And those three never changed. I wasn't three for ten

755
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: like the baseball guy. I was three for three every

756
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: single day.

757
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 4: David, and my identity concept, I was three for three

758
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 4: every day as a sixteen year old kid. In my identity,

759
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: my God loved me, my dad loved me, my dad

760
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: loved my mom. And I never saw that change no

761
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: matter what my day was like. My day was God

762
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: awful sometimes, but my identity was in Christ. And then

763
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 4: when that comes, you seek him in first. When your

764
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 4: identity is in him. You seek Him first in all

765
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 4: that you do. You don't seek you know. It's like

766
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 4: when you go to do something and saying and is

767
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 4: this pleasing to God? Okay, First, I'm doing something that's

768
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: pleasing to God. Next, I'm gonna take a lot of

769
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: reps in the batting cageuse it's going to help me hit.

770
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 4: But it can't be displeasing to God. It's the business guy.

771
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: I gotta make this decision.

772
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 3: Okay. Is this pleasing to God?

773
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: First?

774
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: No, it's not. Then I don't care how much money

775
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: it's gonna make me. We're not doing this.

776
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: Is it pleasing to God? I mean seeking God first?

777
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: The Kingdom of God is righteousness. I am this is okay?

778
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 4: This aligns with core values? Okay, then I'm going after

779
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 4: that win and I'm going after that million dollar deal

780
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: harder than you are, harder than you are man, and

781
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 4: I will beat you. Justin Zella, I'll beat you because

782
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 4: I lay on that.

783
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 3: Hot to hear roof how longer? But it's filtered through.

784
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 4: Does this match up with my core values that are

785
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: established because I'm a lever in the core values of scripture?

786
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: Am I seeking.

787
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 4: God's approval first? And that's that is so critical. It's

788
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: we would here, here's one thing. When I was at

789
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 4: weeting with these guys, we would split up into small

790
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 4: groups and we you know, we small groups met once

791
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 4: a week. We'd go on mission trips and we would

792
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 4: raise a couple hundred thousand dollars every year, and we

793
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 4: would send eighty percent of our team. We required our

794
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 4: kids to go at least once other four years, but

795
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 4: we wouw eighty percent of our kids. We'd have eighty

796
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: to ninety kids every year, and we would we would

797
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 4: we would go to a part of the world where

798
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 4: there was a former player as a missionary to be

799
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: an encouragement to him. So we were in Africa and

800
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: Central America and South America and Eastern Europe and all

801
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 4: over the place. And then we would be sometimes in

802
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: some areas here in the country. Wow, And we would

803
00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 4: go and that had such a powerful influence on our kids' life, and.

804
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: So they learned how to serve. They learned what it

805
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 3: was like to serve others. And when you serve others

806
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: less fortunate, what you think is such a big problem

807
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 3: in your own life, very very very big. Amen.

808
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: I would stand in our football field at the end

809
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 4: of a game our home field. Now, we went about

810
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: ninety percent of the games on our home field. I

811
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 4: mean there was a streak we'd lost six out of

812
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 4: like an eighty five year period. I mean we home period. Okay,

813
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: better not then we lost. Well, there's a train behind

814
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 4: that visitors stand. That was a commuter chain that would

815
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 4: go into the city. We're about forty five minutes outside

816
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: the city of Chicago. The commuter chain would go in

817
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 4: the city. And here's what I would tell after every loss.

818
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 4: Guys are down and they were belly ache and they're

819
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: blaming others.

820
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: You know, the whole world was falling apart. They're gonna

821
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: yell at their mom.

822
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: You know whatever I said, here's what you need to

823
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 4: do everyone on this team, or if you're struggling this

824
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 4: loss so bad, Here's what I want to do. I

Speaker 3: I want you to feed the homeless for the next

835
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: two hours Saturday night. Wow. Okay, And when you come

836
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: back this loss, won't we need a hill of beans? Deal?

837
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: Because you have realized what count my blessing? Yes, seek

Speaker 3: God first. Put everything through that perspective.

839
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 4: And that's that's what all that does is it's a

840
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: football team that when we address loss, talk about seeking God.

841
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 3: How can we serve God tonight? You know, we go

842

Speaker 3: He says, yeah. He said, well, and.

00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 4: You mean, and you take you to go feed the homeless.

853
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 4: We're seeking God first?

00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 3: Your spring break, you're spending two hundred thousand dollars a

855
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,640

00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: You're I says here, why do your schedules? Can find

860
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: out if we're ready. Okay, you schedule.

861
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 4: Us because you don't want Our kids are fighting, and

862
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 4: you know this. Our kids are fighting for the cause

863
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 4: of Christ because they seek Christ. They're fighting for the

864
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 4: cause of their team. It translates down you're you were

865
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 4: in the military. You hire a mercenary, he's not going

866
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: to fight to death because he wants to spend his money.

867
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: You hire someone's fighting for glory. He'll never fight to

868
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: the death because he wants to hear the applause.

869
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 4: But the guy's fighting for cause he eyes because the

870
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 4: cause transcends his life. The money's not going to transcend

871
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 4: your life. The fame's not going to transcend your life,

872
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 4: but that flag will fran change your life. Never get

873
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 4: in a fight with someone's fighting for cause if you're

874
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: not fighting for it, because you lose every time. Now

875
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 4: there's good causes and bad causes. But you've put a

876
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 4: cause first and seek God first.

877
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: That's your cause.

878
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: That's why we're doing this, that's why we're why we're

879
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 4: playing the way we play, That's why we live the

880
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 4: way we live. That's why we practice, because that's what

881
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 4: God would call us to do. For reject the philosophy

882
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: of the world Colossians two eight. You know, my dad

883
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 4: would send this to me. My first coaching job was

884
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: down in Atlanta, and I was at Westminster Prep School

885
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 4: in Atlanta for from seventy eight to eighty four before

886
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: I came back to Wheaton when I was thirty, and

887
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: my dad would send me this verse and you'd send

888
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 4: me once a week through the Pony Express.

889
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: He wasn't through an email. It wasn't through un tell

890
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: you nineteen seventy eight.

891
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 4: And then out of that existence he'd write in a

892
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 4: letters of the mail and I'd get it five days later,

893
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 4: And it said Colossians two eight. See to it that

894
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 4: no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception

895
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 4: according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary

896
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. See

897
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 4: to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy

898
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 4: and empty deception according to the tradition of men.

899
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: Wow, you know what.

900
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 4: I read that every week from my father. You already

901
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 4: know the story my dad, so you know where it's

902
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 4: coming from.

903
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I read that every day.

904
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna tell you something right now. If you

905
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: read Galatians six, don't be deceived. God will not be wocked.

906
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 4: You will reap what you saw one Corinthians three nineteen.

907
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 4: I will make foolish the wisdom of this world.

908
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 3: You know what we do. We don't reject the philosophy

909
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: of the world. We don't reject it.

910
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: If you are ever going to be a difference maker,

911
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 4: you've got to reject the philosophy of the world.

912
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: Because the philosophy of the world is going to hell

913
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 3: in a handbasket.

914
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 4: You have got to say, here is the philosophy, if

915
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 4: we call philosophy, but here is my faith. My faith,

916
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 4: and my perspective and my core values and my roadmap

917
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 4: does not come from the philosophy of the world. It

918
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 4: comes from scripture, unchanging two thousand year old scripture that

919
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 4: has stood the test of time and has never changed.

920
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to base my life on. But

921
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: we don't.

922
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 4: We do not reject the philosophy of the world because

923
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 4: we don't fear God.

924
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 3: Because we don't trust God.

925
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 4: The are all they piggyback, they overlap, they layer each

926
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 4: other because we don't trust God.

927
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: So my question to you is who are you listening to? Yes,

928
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: who are you listening to? You listen to that Instagram

929
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: post your Twitter account. I can't even spell Instagram. I

930
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 3: can't even Twitter.

931
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 4: I can't even spell Facebook. I've never even been on them.

932
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 4: I don't even care. I don't even care. I don't

933
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 4: even care. The only reason I have Instagram, I tell

934
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 4: you events.

935
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 3: I take that back.

936
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 4: The only Instagram account I've ever even seen in is

937
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 4: the Instagram Acount of my kids when they put post

938
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 4: pictures of.

939
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 3: My grandkids of what they're doing that day. So I

940
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,959
Speaker 3: look at theirs. I've never been on Twitter.

941
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 4: I don't even know what Twitter is. I'm the village idiot.

942
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 4: I'm just a long hair, dumb football coach man, That's

943
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: all I am. But I'm telling you something is who

944
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 4: are you listening to that will that's going to determine

945
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 4: your destiny? And in Scripture it says see to it

946
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: that you don't be taken captive by the rudimentary, elementary

947
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 4: principles of the world of man rather than according to Christ.

948
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 4: You can just see how this layers. And you can

949
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: see how the businessman fails on a Friday night when

950
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 4: he's got.

951
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: Alcohol in him mm hmm. You can see how it fails.

952
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 3: He can rise to the occasion. He has no shot

953
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: to rise the occasion. He in fearing God. He's not

954
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: seeking God.

955
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 4: He's reading his Instagram account. He doesn't trust God. Well,

956
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 4: you know what's gonna have?

957
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 3: You gonna fail? So am I going to fail?

958
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 4: That Navy seal is not going to execute that assignment

959
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 4: if he hasn't prepared himself, he's had no shot. He'd

960
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 4: be like a dude off the street with a three

961
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 4: piece sudo. He his head going off in the first

962
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 4: five minutes of the event. You know, it's it's this

963
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 4: isn't rocket.

964
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: Science, it really is not.

965
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 4: And and just like that navy soit you got to

966
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 4: have these things that are regularly happening in your life

967
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 4: so when that moment comes, you're prepared and so you'll

968
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: stand tall, you won't fall, and and they're they're critical.

969
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 4: And then the fifth one here and I know we

970
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 4: we we got to go.

971
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: But the last one good, you're good coach.

972
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 3: Rolling.

973
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 4: It's it's the last one is is I do it earlier?

974
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 4: Don't forget the cost of your salvation. If you never

975
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: forget the cost of your.

976
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 3: Salvation, you know what happened. You never be unfaithful.

977
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 4: I've already talked about my son becoming you know, if

978
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna put him in front like on Eastern But

979
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: here's the thing, this is why, this is what grind

980
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 4: My dad was World War two vet. You say in

981
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: a country, that's what grinds me when Memorial Day and

982
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 4: some of these days are abused, because.

983
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 3: You know what happens when you forget the cost of

984
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 3: your freedom. You lose it. You lose it when you forget.

985
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 3: Don't forget.

986
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 4: Do not forget the cost of your salvation. And here

987
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 4: in the United States, do not forget the price that

988
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 4: was paid. So you and I can talk today because

989
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 4: you know what happens. We forget, we forget, and that's

990
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 4: the sad thing. You know, Like I said, if if if,

991
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 4: if I if my son David had died for you,

992
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 4: and this is a different kind of death. You were

993
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 4: in the military. This is a different kind of death.

994
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 4: When a guy just out of reaction and because you're

995
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 4: his combat brother, jumps on, are gonna aid or shields

996
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 4: a bullet? I mean premeditatively, okay, I mean this is

997
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 4: this is not in common.

998
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 3: This is premeditatively. Okay. I might die for someone in.

999
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 4: A in a combat zone, but premeditatively. I've said this

1000
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 4: many times. I die for like, well, before my kids

1001
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 4: got married, I always say this, I die for four people. Premeditatively.

1002
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 4: I die for my wife, my three kids. Those the

1003
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 4: only people I die for. Now, if I was in

1004
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 4: war something, you're right, you know, because you're you're, you're, you're,

1005
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna be favd.

1006
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: But I mean pre mented.

1007
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 5: You know why, because I don't want my kids to

1008
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: go a lot of father and so just to premeditatively plan,

1009
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 5: I'm just going to choreograph this so David can live if.

1010
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 3: I did that, Like I said, would you ever for

1011
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 3: get the cost for you to live?

1012
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 4: Now?

1013
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 3: Translate that to the next level.

1014
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 4: These soldiers that have done it at the next level,

1015
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 4: not the level of Christ, but the next level. But

1016
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 4: we forget on both accounts, and we don't talk to God,

1017
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 4: we don't talk to God, do we ever? We don't

1018
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 4: thank God. We don't trust God. You can see how

1019
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 4: these others start happening. We don't fear God.

1020
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 3: We don't do any of this because we forgot what

1021
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 3: he did for us. We forgot. We forgot the cost

1022
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: that was paid so that we can coach football, so

1023
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 3: that you can speak at first trust, so we can

1024
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 3: be on the air here. We forgot, and we think

1025
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 3: it's just a right for God.

1026
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 4: We're going to heaven. I've said this many times, David,

1027
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 4: You and I deserve hell. You know what we get heaven? Heymen,

1028
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 4: we get heaven. Not to say anything we did.

1029
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: We get heaven.

1030
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 4: He's a God put his son in a cross and

1031
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 4: shed his blood for our sin.

1032
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 3: See that blood.

1033
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 4: All we got to do is accept his blood in

1034
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 4: place of our blood. That bloods for everybody, black, white,

1035
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 4: don't matter.

1036
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 3: That blood is for every human being because all of

1037
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 3: our blood's red, so his blood is.

1038
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: We just got to say, will you take your son's

1039
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 4: blood in my place?

1040
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 3: And God said I'll take it. And you know what happens.

1041
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 3: We become a child of God. God.

1042
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 4: And as long as we don't forget that, we don't

1043
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 4: forget that everything else will fall into place.

1044
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: We'll fear God, we'll seek him, we'll trust him. Well,

1045
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: we won't. We'll reject the Who are you going to

1046
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 3: listen to the guy that died for you? The yo

1047
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 3: yo out there wants an Instagram hit? I mean, who

1048
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: are you listening to? What I'm listening to? Twitter? Dude,

1049
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 3: You're not listening to the guy who died for you?

1050
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 3: What about your own son? I mean, what if?

1051
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 4: What about the soldier, like I said, who died and

1052
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 4: then and his parents or his buddy ask you to

1053
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 4: do something and you'd rather.

1054
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: Come on, man, this is rocket science.

1055
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is not, you know, And so you know,

1056
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 4: I just I could go on and on so many

1057
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 4: things here, David, But you know those things. I think

1058
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 4: those are the things that you you asked me to

1059
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 4: share on and I could. I could speak an hour

1060
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 4: and each of them. But there's so many other things.

1061
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 4: But those are the five things that I happened at

1062
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 4: that chapel talk point. He took twenty one minutes, and

1063
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 4: we've been on for forty. Coach you, but those are

1064
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 4: the five things that they've got to be going on

1065
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: in your life, and coaches, those are five things you

1066
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 4: better be living.

1067
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 3: And if you ain't living them, don't try to teach them.

1068
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 3: Don't even try to teach them.

1069
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 4: If you're living them, then demand them and and and

1070
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 4: and and like I said, there, you're you're you're gonna

1071
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 4: get people that respond to you because they want to

1072
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 4: because you're living them, and uh and and so that

1073
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 4: would be my my justt to you, guys is is

1074
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 4: live these things out and remember you could see God tomorrow.

1075
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 4: So if you live them out and you're gonna see

1076
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 4: God tomorrow, man, your players will buy into them. And

1077
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 4: then those players, you know what they'll do. They'll play

1078
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 4: for you. They'll play for you. There's a thousands of

1079
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 4: other reasons they'll play for you. I could go into,

1080
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,880

1083
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 4: up later and and it's your life. Before you try

1084
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 4: to teach those five things or demand them from your players,

1085
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 4: make sure you're living them. And the only way you'll

1086
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,839
