There's no telling 51 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: what God's going to do if you'll open your heart. 52 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: You started out in education. You were a school teacher, math, 53 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: math teacher. Tell us about your your beginning. 54 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: Well, we're hoping today, Uh, through the story. If you're 55 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: feeling stuck or you're feeling like there's more that you're gonna. 56 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: You're gonna feel that today. 57 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: So I was teaching school, coaching basketball, not for like 58 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: a semester, like sixteen years, but I felt like there 59 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: was something. 60 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: There was something more, and I didn't know it at 61 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 2: the time. 62 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: I think there's dreamers of the night are people that 63 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: dream and then they wake up and go on about 64 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 3: I think dreamers of the day get up and take 65 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: action and it's like a vision. And you know, my 66 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: kids were growing up and they'd say, hey, Daddy, can 67 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: somebody at school need some help with some shoes or 68 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: a code, and can we help them? 69 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: And I thought, they don't know how hard we're trying. 70 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: I mean we we had more bills and cash at 71 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: the end of the month, and yet there was something there. 72 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: I think some of you know that, and I think 73 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: life gets hard sometimes and we quit dreaming, and you know, 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter the size of the dream we were 75 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: talking about it. I think dreaming is a muscle. The 76 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: more you use it, the bigger it gets. Our dreams 77 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: back then was a few extra dollars a month, a 78 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: pair of bills, and people say, oh, I was a 79 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: small dream. No, I was a big dream at the time. 80 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: Today our dreams are totally different. And I think, as 81 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: you feel God's calling and dreaming. So I left teaching. 82 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: I found out I was pretty good at selling, and 83 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: then I left teaching, which was a big step because 84 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: I'd gone to college be a teacher. And you're thinking, 85 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 3: I call them dream killers, people that say stuff to 86 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 3: you like oh, that don't ever work, or no, no, 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: that you can't do that. It's so real out there, 88 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: the dream killers. And when I left teaching, this is 89 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: where I know the Lord has a sense of humor. 90 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: The very next month, my money went down and I 91 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: started thinking all that stuff, all that Oh, no, people 92 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: are going to laugh, They're going to say I left 93 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: my family destitute. 94 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: And yet like two months later it. 95 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: Just started exploding and uh, we decided our own business. 96 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: It was truly amazing. I think I like telling the 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: story because it wasn't like this. It was like this. 98 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: You go up a little bit, you're excited, and you 99 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: go down a little bit and like, oh can I 100 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: do this? And uh, I think it's a journey that 101 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 3: we get to talk about. 102 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: So you go from and teachers are amazing and they're 103 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: called of God, and which all of us wouldn't be 104 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: who we are without incredible instructors and teachers, I know. 105 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: But something in you felt like there was more. And 106 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: at some point you do have to step and when 107 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: God gives you a dream, you do have to step 108 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: into the unknown. You move out of what's safe, what's secure, 109 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: into the unknown. But you hear and you sense God 110 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: saying there's more. So when you took that step of faith, 111 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: where how did you know that was the time? 112 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: How did you know that was the moment that you 113 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: needed to do it? Great? Great question. 114 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: I had set a bar if we could have reached 115 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: this level, I would step out and do this. 116 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: So we reached that bar and I moved it. 117 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: I said, well, wait a minute, I got to pay 118 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 3: for my own insurance. 119 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: I need a little ex work for sixteen years as 120 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: a teacher. Yeah, So I mean that was security. 121 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: That was in a way, sometimes I hate the word normal, 122 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: but kind of the normal way you were supposed to 123 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: do things. Go to college, take a job worth thirty years, 124 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: and so this was. So I kept moving that number 125 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: to make sure, well, I got to pay my own benefits. 126 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: Summers I won't have off now, and so I kept 127 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: moving it till finally I had a good friend say, 128 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: you said, and you've gone past that, come on Pentecost 129 00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: when you're going to do it. 130 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: And so it were kind of talking there. You know, 131 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: I had to say it all out a few times. 132 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: I had to hear myself say it before I believed it. 133 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: So at that moment when you hit that goal, you said, 134 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: you and your wife prayed about it, and you went 135 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: for it. And you know, he's very uncomfortable with saying anything, 136 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: but I'm saying things that are in his book that 137 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: he tells amazing stories about. 138 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: And you know. 139 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: It goes from you starting out with nothing but a 140 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: dream and a praying wife and you loving the Lord, 141 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: wanting to provide for your family. Two a billion dollar 142 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: plush being informs magazine. 143 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: What how, how does that happen? Does it?

And as a coach, 155 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: those of you that like sports, you'll know, you know 156 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: when they go to prevent defense in football because you 157 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: have a lead and you're just gonna it never works. 158 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: The other team scorers, you lose, and it's badding.

I remember one 171 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: time in my office praying, Lord, I can't handle this 172 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: no more, if you'll take it away, please, And I 173 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: think back how close I was to say and no more. 174 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: And yet we didn't have a plan B. 175 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: So we just had to figure out a different turn 176 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: of the dial, a different ruby cube. How to figure 177 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: it out? And going on the offense instead of taking punches, 178 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: you're giving punches and you're attacking. 179 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: And it may not always work, but you're laying it 180 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: out there. 181 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: And when when the when you when you talk about 182 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: in the in the book, find your people. How important 183 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: is it that you that you begin to associate. I've 184 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: found that I only change in my dream when I 185 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: meet when I meet other people that are doing more 186 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: than I'm doing. By the people I meet are the 187 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: places I go. 188 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: That's powerful. I have a whole chapter on surrounding yourself 189 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: with the right people. 190 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this, maybe some of your dreams 191 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: haven't happened, not because you did something wrong. But I 192 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: say dreams planted in the right environment can thrive. In 193 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 3: the wrong environment, they can die. So maybe your dream 194 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: hasn't come true, not because something you did wrong, but 195 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 3: maybe you're surrounding yourself. I was a basketball coach, so 196 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 3: I call it the starting five. I want the five 197 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 3: people on the court with me, plan support me, can 198 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: help me. You know, we talk about different types of people. 199 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: Some people can't help themselves. They're dream killers. They're going 200 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: to say you can't do that. What are you thinking? 201 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 3: Or what what are you doing? And sometimes it's their 202 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: own issues, but they put it on you, and so 203 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 3: you got to be careful. Even when I started my business, 204 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: the business owners, you don't want to hire dream killers. 205 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: Dream Killers are people that have never done it and 206 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: they're very negative. 207 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: You want. 208 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: I call them dream clingers, people that have done it 209 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: and are positive. 210 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: Pastor is a dream cleaner. 211 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: I want to cling to him because he inspires me 212 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: and he says you can do it, and he cheers 213 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: me on along with saying. 214 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: Maybe you should talk to these people, so you. 215 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 3: Know, sometimes it might be someone hasn't done it, but 216 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 3: they're positive. You can surround yourself with those. I didn't 217 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: grow up in business. My parents from Tennessee. They moved 218 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: up to Michigan got jobs at the factory, and so 219 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: we didn't have a background of business or people that 220 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: run businesses. So I need to just surround myself with 221 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: some business people or someone that. So I was always 222 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: looking for someone that had done what I wanted to do. 223 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: So so important. 224 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: We used to tell our kids that you know what 225 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: you hang out with, and yet it's so important as 226 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: us at every age who you're surrounding yourself with. 227 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: And what I believe that happens too is when you 228 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: get around dreamers, you start dreaming again, you start believing. 229 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: That's what we're praying for during this series, that people 230 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: will dare to dream again. That young people that are teenagers. 231 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: I really believe this, that a dream that they don't 232 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: need more discipline necessarily, sometimes they need more direction and 233 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: that goal, that dream will keep them away from drugs, 234 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: keep them away from the wrong people, keep them away 235 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: from the wrong direction. That when you have a dream 236 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: that is guiding your life, you just automatically start saying 237 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't go that direction. If I do, 238 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: I won't get to where I know God wants me 239 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: to go. And that's the power of your point of 240 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: that chapter is the right people mentors and teachers in 241 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: our life. Mentors is someone who's done what you're trying 242 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: to do. They release protection, they release provision, they release 243 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: promotion in your life. When you get a mentor, those 244 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: three things get released in your life. I had been 245 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: raised in small churches all my life. Nothing wrong with 246 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: small churches. God uses them mightily. But God's plan for 247 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: our life was to reach many people, as many as 248 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: we could reach. 249 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: And I'll never forget it. 250 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: Tommy Barnett asked me when I was just in the 251 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: other buildings. I was not on TV, I was not known, 252 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: I was not and he asked me to come preach 253 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: on a sun at his massive, six thousand seat sanctuary 254 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: in Phoenix. 255 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: And I got around him. 256 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: And I stayed there for a day or two, and 257 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: I walked around with him and it enlarged my whole world, 258 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: and I saw a church like that. You have to 259 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: see it in the eye of faith before you can 260 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: accomplishment is so important to see it, as you have 261 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: one chapter in your book about that. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, 262 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: and I want to welcome you to Real America's Voice. 263 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: There's something that's going to happen. I believe as you 264 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's see what 265 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: God can do in your life. 266 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: I found out I could sell. I didn't know that. 267 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: I guess as a future and a coach, you're always selling, 268 00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: but I didn't know that. 269 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: So I Siday and I. 270 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: Was working with a sales company make little extra money, 271 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: and we wanted to make five hundred a month. That 272 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: would give us enough to pay our bills and have 273 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: some cash instead of just bills left at the end 274 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: of the month. 275 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: And we did that and it was so exciting. 276 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: But we went down to their convention and I saw 277 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: a teacher coach walk across the stage and he got 278 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: to check that month for ten thousand. My goal changed 279 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: instead of five hundred. I went he did it. He 280 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: don't look any different, So we changed to ten thousand. 281 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: And So we encourage people when they joined a company. 282 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: We do something called a dream board, and we have 283 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 3: them sit down and say, what what are your dreams? 284 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 3: Might be traveling. It might be their own business. It 285 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: might be date night. It pay their bills off. Maybe 286 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: it's a new car. I don't you know, we will 287 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: put it down. Oh they got a dream board up there. 288 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: That's my dream board in my office. And it's funny 289 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: because when they first start doing it, it's like dipping. 290 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: Your toe in the water and see if it's cold. 291 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: They do little dreams, but they'll come back. 292 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 3: And we coined this word or redream, because they're like, 293 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: I want to redo my dream board because now they 294 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 3: realize and come true because when you see it. And 295 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: for me, I didn't know this about myself. Our company 296 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: was in Michigan and I start thinking about moving it 297 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: to Florida. It was people didn't want to visit Michigan 298 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 3: the winter. I don't know what was wrong with that, 299 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: but I didn't know you could be warm in the winter. 300 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: I would have gone sooner, but income tax wasn't you know, 301 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: there wasn't any first state. And so I start going 302 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: around in the office to my employees saying, I'm going 303 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: to move the company to Florida. Hey, what do you 304 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: think about moving? I thought I was convincing my staff. 305 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: We moved twenty five families from Michigan to Florida when 306 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 3: we first started business. But I realized I was saying 307 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: it to myself. I was convincing. So one of the 308 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 3: things I like to say is the dream that will 309 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: make you most proud is the one you're afraid to 310 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: say out loud. 311 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: And I. 312 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 3: Think a lot of you have a dreaming here you've 313 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 3: been kind of stuck on. And I think today's the 314 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 3: day that you in front of the mer at home, 315 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 3: in front of your phone, you dare challenge you to 316 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 3: say the dream that you've wanted it forever. It's a 317 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 3: seed inside you, but you've been afraid of it, and 318 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: I want you to say it out loud because that'll. 319 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: Be what makes you proud. 320 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: When when I felt called to preach, my greatest fear 321 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: was to tell and announce it because once you do 322 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: that and peep your friends, your family, and they don't 323 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: take you serious. If you back up and it commits you, 324 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: and I was afraid to say it. I'll never forget 325 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: the night that I walked into the room and I 326 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: told my dad. My brother was sitting there, my dad, 327 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: a couple of my. 328 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 2: Brothers, and. 329 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: I said, God's called me to preach, and then I 330 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: went and told my mom and it was something that 331 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: was so freeing about that. But at the same time, 332 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: it's like cutting doing a way with plan B, Plan C. 333 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: You're committed now, and that's what I did. I committed 334 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: myself to ministry, and that's where the miracles start happening. 335 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: You move from the safe zone to the faith zone 336 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: when God gives you a call and you can act 337 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: like dreams aren't spiritual. You can act like this isn't 338 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: a spiritual conversation if you want to. But why would 339 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: God not care about what you do with most of 340 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: your lifetime and energy? Building a business, building a career 341 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: in what God has called you to do in the 342 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: field that He has called you to do it in 343 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: is extremely spiritual. 344 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: And God wants to lay his hand. 345 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: He said, I'll bless the work of your hands, and 346 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: He does that first by giving us a dream of 347 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: something beyond where we are. Yes, And I really think 348 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that we minimize One of the real benefits of the 349 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is the Bible. Everybody talks about, well, what 350 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: happens when you're filled with the Holy Spirit. Will read 351 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: the Book of Joel and it'll tell you what happens 352 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: the Bible. One of the first things it says, and 353 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: in the last days, I'll pour out my spirit, and 354 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: everybody thinks that's a revival in church. And the old 355 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: men will dream dreams, and the young men will get 356 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: a vision. They'll get out of the basement, they'll quit 357 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: playing games on video. They'll have a vision for their life. 358 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: They'll have a discipline, they'll have a direction. And it 359 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: comes from the Holy Spirit. He gives dreams, he gives visions. 360 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: They'll get married. 361 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: I love that. 362 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 3: You know what really kind of inspired me was I 363 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: had a single mom. Her name was Crystal, she had 364 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 3: three kids. She was working like three jobs, and she 365 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: said to me, she joined it work. She had she 366 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: had made a dream board and she said, Mark, I 367 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 3: quit dreaming. She goes, I didn't think I had time 368 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: for it. I'm working three jobs. I'm trying to put 369 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 3: food on table for my kids. But she said, listening 370 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: to dream boards and talking, I realized I wasn't dreaming. 371 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: But worse because I wasn't, my kids weren't dreaming. 372 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: And she said, never forget that. 373 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: She said, Mark, I want you to know I'm dreaming 374 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 3: big now and my kids are dreaming, and I think 375 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: that's what we get to. 376 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: That's it, that's it, because oh, that's so powerful. Because 377 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: a dream is multi generational that God gives. It's never 378 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: stops with one generation. This is the point I'm trying 379 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: to make. It's not your. 380 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: Dream, It's God's dream. 381 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: If you believe that it's a multi generational dream that 382 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: will affect your children's children. The Bible said a good 383 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: man leaves an inherent and it's for his children's children. 384 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: That's not just cars and land and money and all 385 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: of that. That's great if you can do that, but 386 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: you also are imparting a dream and showing and modeling. 387 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: I love that. That is so powerful. You talk about 388 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: dream boards. What's funny if they put that picture up. 389 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell this because I want to qualify 390 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: this dreamer. He dreamed of a ranch and he started 391 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: with a few acres and he has ten thousand acres 392 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: and thousands of cattle and on it and it's crazy, 393 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: it's gorgeous, it's beautiful. 394 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: That's his ranch. 395 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: He had a dream of an island and he's got 396 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: Pentecost Island. Now it's a beautiful island and it's unbelievable 397 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: and it'll change your Yeah and so. 398 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 2: But beyond all of that, what they have done with 399 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: the dream. 400 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: Is built hospital wings, and built Christian entire schools, and 401 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: built answer research. And then something weird happened to us. 402 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: We we get we get a call. I start getting 403 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: a call from somebody who says they're mister Pennecoss. And 404 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: this was during the pandemic. We had shut down completely 405 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: and we would come in and would preach the three 406 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: thousand empty seats. 407 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: It was an extremely discouraging time. 408 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: And the Easter of the first year of the pandemic, 409 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: President Trump tweeted out, I'm going to watch Jensen, Franklin 410 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: and Free Chapel this Sunday for inspiration on Easter Sunday. 411 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: Why don't you join in and tune in with me 412 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: or something like that. I was on a flight coming 413 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't I was flying and when 414 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: we landed on Delta flight in Atlanta, my phone blew 415 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: up and we start the next thing we knew. We 416 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: had that morning one million viewers plus watching live, and 417 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: there was a couple. It really hurt my feelings because 418 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: there was a couple that was watching and this is 419 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: what he told me when he talked to me. 420 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: He said, I never heard of you. I never watched 421 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: you on TV. I never read one of your books. 422 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about you, had no idea or 423 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: clue who you were. 424 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: And I'm wow. 425 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: And he said the only reason we watched was because 426 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: President Trump said watch and said we wanted to see. 427 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: Well, what kind of person does he listen to? That 428 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: he might. 429 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: You know, God can use anybody to bless you. Don't 430 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: think that all your blessings. Don't think all your blessings 431 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: are going to come from holy people in the church. 432 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes God will use a casino owner. Sometimes God will 433 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: use He use whoever he wants. 434 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 2: He tweets out. 435 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: Then they call and Natasha and my assistant comes in 436 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: and she says, this man named mister pendecosts bah blah blah, 437 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: and I get on and all of a sudden, this 438 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: man starts saying what the ministry said. 439 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: We've been watching for over a year. 440 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: He and his wife every Sunday from that Sunday and 441 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: they started blessing this church. And we bought the Midtown campus, 442 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: or we're dreaming of buying it. And I announced it 443 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: in one of those services and that's what got him 444 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: to call and he said, well, we want to be 445 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: a part and we want to pay half of what 446 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: that Downtown Atlanta property is going to cost. And if 447 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: you don't know what Downtown Atlanta costs Midtown and he said, 448 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: why don't you challenge the people that will do a 449 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: matching fund up to this amount? 450 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: And you crayle, it's your fault. We keep dreaming. 451 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: It's your fault because you took that challenge and you 452 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: went all the way up. We saw our resources go crazy, 453 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: and we went into that brand new downtown campus that 454 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: is outgrowing itself quickly. We went into it debt free 455 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: for the glory of God. And that's what a dream 456 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: can do.

You know, I've got to 475 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 3: work with quite a few. Drake and Aaron, and then 476 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 3: the people here.

I think Free Chapel is 484 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: going to go you do great things already amazing, this 485 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 3: guy is such a real deal. But I think you've 486 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 3: got a positioned to just make such a difference in 487 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: the world. And I think some people in here right now. 488 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: I never thought we could. 489 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: You know, I had someone say to me, when is 490 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: enough enough? And I had to. 491 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: Think about that because you know, yeah, we came from 492 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 3: teaching and coaching nothing to yeah, ranch and island whatever. 493 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: And it wasn't about the stuff. It was about how 494 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: we could entertain and inspire other people. 495 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: I'll hear him saying on the island he was a 496 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: teacher and it's got him dreaming again. And I think 497 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: I had to really pray about when is enough enough? 498 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: Thinking was I doing something wrong? And I remember it 499 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: was someone you know, close to me, and I remember 500 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 3: just sleeping on it. The next day I got to 501 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: like God said, enough enough is never enough when there's 502 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: still people that need help, poverty, cancer, to cure, schools 503 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: to build. If I'd stayed teaching and coaching, it had 504 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 3: been a great life and we would have. You know, 505 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: my players still call me and they say all my 506 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: successes because the hard time they gave me back when 507 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: I was coaching them. And and yet I think of 508 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: the difference we make today. 509 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: God has dreams, and some people in this. 510 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: Room that literally can change the world. Dreamers change the world, 511 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: not dreamers of night dreamer of the day, dreamer of 512 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: the day. 513 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: It gets up and says, let's go. Yeahs change the world. Yeah. 514 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: When you dare to dream, you talk about the secret songs? 515 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: What is your secret songs? In one of the chapters, 516 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: I think it's the seventh chapter, the bonus chapter, you 517 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: talk about the secret songs? 518 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: What is that? 519 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: Well, you know, our companies not we're able. I love 520 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 3: in America, you can still. You know, we have a 521 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 3: worship night before we have our big convention, and we've 522 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: had up to I don't know, twelve fifteen thousand, and 523 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: we get ninety ninety five percent people come on the 524 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 3: optional worship night, and I've seen so much movement there 525 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: and I think, I think God has put that in us, 526 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: to just live every day like you're living. And so 527 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 3: when I think of secret sauce, I used to think 528 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: I would tell our people, you know, you give and 529 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 3: then your hands are out and got to bless you back. 530 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 2: That's I was kind of raised with that. 531 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: But somewhere along I told Pastor I realized, you know, 532 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 3: I keep saying, dreaming is a muscle. I started with 533 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 3: a smaller dream and got confident and got bigger and 534 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: got bigger. Now I tell my grandkids, I don't do 535 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: this for them, say wow, Papa, I do it. 536 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 2: So they stand on my shoulders and go to the 537 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: next level. 538 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: And that is what excites me, is is so we give, 539 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 3: not to receive, We give, to give more, to give more. 540 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: And you know, if you tell. 541 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 3: Me what we're given today, it just it's numbers that 542 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 3: blow my mind because I never think we could do that. 543 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: But I think God over and over. Tell my wife 544 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: he speaks quite often through here. I don't know husbands, 545 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 3: if you have always that God speaks through and tells 546 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: you something and you're like, WHOA, well, that's that could 547 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 3: be painful, and and she's had a few that I've like, wow, 548 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: that's stretching me. And then the next year something happens 549 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: in the market or the business and that quarter we 550 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 3: make the exact amount. It blows my mind. I don't 551 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: know why it blows my mind. God does it over 552 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: and over again. But so I think you get to 553 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 3: give and you start really enjoying it, and you see difference. 554 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 3: It makes you want to give more and you want 555 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 3: and just like dreaming is a muscle, I think given's 556 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 3: a muscle. The more you dream or the more you give, 557 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 3: the more you give, and the more you can and 558 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: it changes the world. 559 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: You invited Teresa and I and Pastor Tracy and Becky 560 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: to come to the island, and we went just to 561 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: get away, just to take a break, just to dream. 562 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: That's what you said. You said, I want us to 563 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: come and sit down and just dream. I've never met 564 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: anybody like you. I've never met anybody that like these 565 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: kinds of conversations. And one of the moments that impacted 566 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: us that had you not had your dream, it really 567 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: impacted us. And we were going to dinner and to 568 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: get off that island. You get on a boat and 569 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: you're right across a beautiful body of water to the restaurant, 570 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: and we were We had gone through the pandemic, coming 571 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: out of the pandemic, but Charesa and I and our 572 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: whole family, it's no secret we've shared that we went 573 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: through the darkest season of our lives thus far. It 574 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: was like a wrecking ball hit our family. It tore 575 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: our hearts out, and it was dark. 576 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 2: We almost lost one of our children to. 577 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: Prescription drugs. That are drugs that wanted to take our life. 578 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: We woke up to a nightmare in many, many ways. 579 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: Our hearts were grieving for our family, and we couldn't 580 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: shake it. It was so dark, it was so deep, 581 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: it was it was layer after layer, and all of 582 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: you been there. If you haven't, life will hit you 583 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: real quick, real fast, in a way you never saw coming. 584 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: And we had pretty much said to ourselves, I don't know, 585 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: maybe this is it, Maybe this is maybe it's time 586 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: for us to something else. Maybe this is detrimental or something. 587 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: Maybe we need a change. And we were on the 588 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: back of that boat riding to eat. And your wife 589 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: is real, real, spiritual. You're spiritual, but you're spiritual, and 590 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: you're cool and and and fun. 591 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: And he lives life to the max. 592 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: He's he's an adventurer, he's an athlete, he's a hunter, 593 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: he's a wild man, he's he's funny. And he just 594 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: turns on a country song on the beautiful boat that 595 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: he had. 596 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 3: What's the name of the song, living living. 597 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: Some days you're living, and he just starts, he turns, 598 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: and he didn't know, and the moon was shining, and 599 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: he wasn't paying me and Cherie any attention. But he's 600 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: just he's just on the end of that boat and 601 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: he had his cowboy hat on his cowboy boots, and 602 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: he was he's got some moods like Jagger. 603 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 2: He was. It was not a pretty sight. 604 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the silhouette in the moon and 605 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm watching him dance, and I'm watching him turn around 606 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: and smile to that song. And I look over at Chares, 607 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: who has been damaged like only a woman, a mother, 608 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: a grandmother can can. 609 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: Bear some things like you'll have to bear them. And 610 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 2: she had tears streaming down her face. 611 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: And then it hit me and we realized it's okay 612 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: to live again. It's okay to dance and be happy. 613 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: Even though everything in our life may look like a mess. 614 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: We can't probate living and going on and keeping on 615 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: and dreaming and believing for a better tomorrow, because God's 616 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: got a better tomorrow. And in that moment, that's what 617 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: hit us. That's exactly what hit us. That's what a 618 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: dream will do for you. Now, you listen to me. 619 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: The reason kids are killing themselves, the reason suicide is 620 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: going off. 621 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 2: They do not have a dream. God can give you 622 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 2: a dream. 623 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: God made you, and he puts desires in you. Geese 624 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't fly south if they wouldn't have a desire to 625 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: fly south if there was not a south to fly to. 626 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: If something in you desires more, that's God's saying. 627 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: It's out there. 628 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: But I need you to trust me and surrender to 629 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: me and give me everything that you've got. I'll make 630 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: you dance again. I'll make you smile again. You can't 631 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: let life will. Life will beat you down. And I 632 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: heard the Lord say when when I ask you to 633 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: come and talk, that it's time for people and families 634 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: and marriages to dream again, to not settle for what 635 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: Satan says you have to settle for. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, 636 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: and I want to welcome you to Real America's voice. 637 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: And maybe you've been going through some things and you've 638 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: had moments that have discouraged you, or maybe you just 639 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: feel like you've messed up and you can't recover. This 640 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: message is for you. I believe it's going to speak 641 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: to you this very moment. 642 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,280 Speaker 2: Amen. I decided I wasn't going to do a book. 643 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 3: We started doing it and read before COVID and I 644 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 3: didn't like it. We let it set and my daughter 645 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 3: Tendsey's here today and she got my son Kyler and said, Dad, 646 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 3: you got to finisher book and I had, you know, 647 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 3: we're flying high a lot of great stuff. And I 648 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 3: got a call from the doctor on a freak test 649 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 3: and said, hey, we have an issue. 650 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 2: You have cancer. 651 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: And so I had to go through that journey and 652 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 3: it was dark, and but I got to think, and 653 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 3: I want to make sure my grandkids know what we've 654 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 3: done and. 655 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 2: That I didn't do it to be a one off. 656 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 3: I did it because I want them to take it 657 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 3: to another level. 658 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 2: And I make up words. I like making up words. 659 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 3: So we have that's a good idea, that's a great idea, 660 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 3: and we have a whole another level idea. And I 661 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 3: want them to know I want our lives to be 662 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: a whole other level. And so I got to think 663 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 3: about even grandkids, I don't know. I wanted to know 664 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 3: about it. So Kenzy said, hey, Dad, we're going to 665 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: get this thing done. And so we were working on it. 666 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 3: And for me, it's it's all those things you just 667 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 3: said about getting people that are stuck unstuck. For people 668 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 3: to know, it's spiritual that God's given you a dream 669 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,959 Speaker 3: inside for you to go. Maybe you've been living good, 670 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 3: but is there great and then is there. 671 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 2: A whole other level. And I was saying the. 672 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 3: Pastor had free chapel is a special place, and I 673 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 3: think there's some of you in this room when I. 674 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 2: Look at you. 675 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: Know. 676 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: I didn't want to do a book, to put it 677 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 2: out there and do money. 678 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 3: Thing, but Kenzy said, well, Dad, if you do it, 679 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 3: just give it all the research cancer. And so we're 680 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 3: working with a v foundation, we work with mafed and 681 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 3: and and then two weeks before Christmas, found out I'd 682 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 3: come out of remission. So so I realized we live 683 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 3: in the dash you're born, you go, and that dash 684 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 3: and where it counts. And I realized I was so 685 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 3: focused on whatever project or winning the finish line instead 686 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 3: of focused on that living in there. And I we 687 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 3: threw a big party for it works. We were twenty 688 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 3: three years old now, and I said to Kenzie, I'd 689 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 3: be careful what I say to her because she takes 690 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 3: it literally. I said, we can't wait twenty years to 691 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 3: have another big party. So we're about to have a 692 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 3: big party. We're going to celebrate the book coming out. 693 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 3: Crazy Dreams. Everybody has beating cancers. 694 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 2: But again, and I think we all got it. 695 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 3: God says it's all right to celebrate, and I'm excited 696 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 3: to do that. Last Wednesday and even in here, a 697 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 3: lot of you been praying for us. I got some 698 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 3: great news. So I'm excited. I called pastor and said, hey, 699 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 3: you're stuck with me longer. We're gonna really get out 700 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 3: there and dream big. 701 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 2: We got a great report. To God be the glory. 702 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: I want every person thirty and under to stand to 703 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,720 Speaker 1: your seat, thirty and under to stand to your feet. 704 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm in a different season. He's in a different season. 705 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: God put us in your life today. You're watching this 706 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: by television. You're watching this at all of our campuses. 707 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: You're watching this on the internet wherever you are, maybe 708 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: in a rehab, maybe in a prison. I know our 709 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:43,439 Speaker 1: prisoners are watching, and you're our prisoners, and we love you. 710 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: You can dream in a prison. Joseph had a dream 711 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: in the prison. Now, now here's what I want to say. 712 00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: Listen carefully, Bill, come please. When we first start out, 713 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: we start out with inspiration, and then you have to 714 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: gather information to make a dream happen. You become an 715 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: expert in something. You begin to focus on. Paul said, 716 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: one thing, I do you give it all you've got, 717 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: and you get in that lane, like he said, and 718 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: you fight through everything. But then there's after the inspiration 719 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: and the information and you reach a dream place in 720 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: your life, a peak in your life. Not that you 721 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: can't go from peak to peak, because you can. But 722 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: the stage and the reason that I'm doing this series 723 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: and I'm going to do it for the next couple 724 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: of weeks, is because I want to go beyond inspiration 725 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: and inspiring you and information and feeding you the word 726 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: of God. 727 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 2: I want to go to impartation. 728 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: That's where God imparts the spirit of a dreamer in you. 729 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 1: Because you're the greatest generation. You're the ones that Hell 730 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: has tried to destroy with everything that he's got, including 731 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: a hellless pandemic of mental illness that came out of 732 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: that and addiction and brokenness and fatherlessness and broken dysfunctional families. 733 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: And so the enemy says you don't have a dream, 734 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: and you'll never have a dream. That's a lying demon 735 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: that's telling you that God has a mighty it'll be 736 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: beyond you. It will require the supernatural help of God. 737 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: Somebody's always thinking of you, that's capable of greatly blessing you. 738 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: All you need is the favor of God. And when 739 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: God favors you, the door opens, the blessing of God, 740 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: and you'll walk through the fire. You can't build a 741 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 1: mighty dream for God that's going on because the dream 742 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: is not about you. 743 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,240 Speaker 2: The dream is about others. 744 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 1: And if in the process you got ambition, the Lord 745 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: will take you through such fires, which you have to 746 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: have ambition, quite frankly, to do anything. We need a 747 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: generation to get ambitious for God. And then it becomes 748 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 1: it moves from ambition to godly vision. But He purifies 749 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: the dream in the process. And I believe today for 750 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,839 Speaker 1: you that God is even while this man has been. 751 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: You're talking about a God of exceedingly abundantly above all that. 752 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 2: You could ask or think. 753 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: That's how he defined himself in the Book of Ephesians. 754 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: So have you settled? Are you thinking too small? Let 755 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit stir you up. Let the Holy Spirit 756 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 1: tell you the dream again. Let the Holy Spirit awaken 757 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: the dreaming you again. Let the Holy Spirit and all 758 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 1: of you who say I'm too old, who are sitting 759 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: to dream again. Colonel Sanders was seventy years old when 760 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: he started chicken lecking finger good. 761 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 2: Chicken, which some of you. That's all you've had. 762 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: Your mind on while I've been preaching. 763 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 2: Right now, come on. 764 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: Caleb was eighty five and he said, give me this mountain. 765 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 2: Some of you seniors ought to go. 766 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: Buy you a three whell Harley Davison, don't get the 767 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: two wheel get one of those three wheelers. And if 768 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,439 Speaker 1: you're a widower, get out there. 769 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 2: Live it up. 770 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: Haidelujah, somebody. It's never too late to dream. And I'm 771 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: tired of the enemy telling us that we have to settle. 772 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: And I commission you, in the name of Jesus, to 773 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: get a dream, get a direction, and it comes from 774 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: getting Jesus number one in your life. You can be seated, 775 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: but you're important. I'm done, so everybody gets steal and 776 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: get quiet. This is the most important part of the service. 777 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 2: Right here. 778 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: This morning, in the nine o'clock service, there were so 779 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: many people that came to give their heart to Jesus. 780 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: Because I believe that all of you feel something stirring 781 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: deep in your heart that you your dream may be 782 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: to see your family. Saying your dream may be to 783 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: see a house that you can pass on. 784 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 2: To your that's very spiritual. I don't like people saying 785 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 2: that doesn't matter. 786 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: God told Israel when they went into the Promised Land, 787 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: you'll live in homes you didn't build. 788 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 2: That's part of my blessing on your life. 789 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 1: I'll give you goodly houses that Deuteronomy said, nice house. 790 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 2: What's wrong with dreaming? 791 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 1: God has no shortages, and he's a good father that 792 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 1: likes to take care of his children. 793 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 2: Say I'm going to have. 794 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: One, and if you need transportation, he's got your car. 795 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's all in Jesus. That's what I'm 796 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: trying to say. And I don't serve him for cars, 797 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't serve him for house. But what I've found 798 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: that is you. If you put him first, all of 799 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: these blessings will overtake you. It's just part of being 800 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: a dreamer and doing what God's called you to do.
