WEBVTT - One Day Win (Sermon Discussion) 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.120 Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.600 Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.960 you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.000 it builds your faith. Hope it gives your perspective to 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.720 see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.200 We are starting a brand news segment here today. 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:21.640 I'm so excited. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.919 You are the only person on earth that knows the 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:25.640 name of this word. 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:26.760 I know and I remember it. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:28.560 You remember it, yes. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.280 Because you had to tell it to me so many times. 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.839 I felt that I kept asking him and so, but 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.959 I actually remember it. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.280 So let's set it up and then we'll do the reveal. Okay, 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.920 I've always thought after I finished preaching, ah, I didn't 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.280 get to say this that I didn't you know, I 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.760 didn't get to go deep enough. Ah, I left this out. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.280 You know, I have all these notes that I didn't 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.640 get to and it would feel frustrating. Well, one day, 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.800 the Holy Spirit says to me, after I was, you know, 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.560 done coddling myself on the couch for three hours of 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:02.880 how I didn't say everything. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.480 We're coddling yourself after I was cursing yourself Yeah, after. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.440 I was really beating myself up. I feel like I failed. 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.520 I didn't get the job done. And you said, maybe 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.720 you didn't fail, maybe you just didn't finish. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.080 Did I actually say it like that? Like that yoda? 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.200 So that's the final draft of what you said, and 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.800 I've alliterated it and co written it. But the concept 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.240 just became real in my heart that we have all 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.920 of these amazing ways to minister to you now, and 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.960 so why not from time to time, not every week? 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.319 Just come on kind of like what you guys do 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.240 on coffee FIM. Just get in there and look at 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.840 the sermon, talk about the sermon, and apply it. I 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.800 love it. And so you, being the master of practical 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.880 application that you are, Holly, I want you to reveal 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.400 the title of this segment to the people. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.480 So the title of this segment is run it back, 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:57.880 walk it out. 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:03.120 A running back, walk it out. That's what we're going 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.920 to make. Run it back. Everybody say, run it back, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.520 run and walk it out and walk it out. All right. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.280 So the Word of God is like a seed, right, 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:20.519 seeds need soil. What else put it in the comments? Lighter, matriance, water, 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.240 sometimes fertilizer, It doesn't smell the best helps. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.600 It out, but necessary helpful in the process. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.480 I actually think that when we just listen to a 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.960 sermon or read a Bible verse so fast, it's like 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.079 us throwing a seed on concrete and wondering why it 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.799 didn't produce anything. Yep, you know, like the parable of 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.680 the sower in Matthew thirteen, where Jesus said that the 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.720 birds will come and snatch it up, the thorns will 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.480 choke it out, the sunlight will just bake the seed. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.040 And so this is an effort for us to take 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.560 my sermon, my first sermon of twenty twenty four. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.720 Which was so good, thank you. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.919 Very much much. And she's not biased. The theme of 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.280 the sermon was this is that day, and I'll explain 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.240 what that meant in just a moment. If you want 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.920 to stop this and watch that on Elevation Church YouTube, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.880 please feel free to do so. I will not be 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.760 offended if you walk away and come back. I'll be 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.200 right here waiting for you whenever you're ready. But this 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.160 will work best if you heard that sermon. You can 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.960 still watch it. If you didn't hear that sermon, because 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.280 we're going to run it back, not necessarily show it 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.960 back or show clips here. But just Holly's got good notes. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.920 She's a great note taker. She was a great student 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.080 in college. I used to copy off her notes. That 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.280 was one of the benefits of via her boyfriend and 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.000 we would study together. And still her notes are better 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.760 than mine. Like, look at her notes. Look at my notes. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.200 What a disaster I am. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.920 But I don't do that drawing thing. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:49.160 Well. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.360 When I finish my sermon and I look at your notes, 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.440 I'm like, oh, that's what I said. Good, that's good. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.360 That's good. I said that. Yeah, yeah, I said that. 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.280 So I don't know if you're cleaning them up. But 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.960 I want you to start us off, Holly, because I 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.560 love the front row flashbacks that you post and each 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.080 week you send to our staff. And I promised the congregation, 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.400 I said, I'm putting part two on YouTube this week. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.240 So the part two isn't going to be me just 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.640 teaching another sermon. I'll do that again next Sunday. I 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.240 already have a sequel in mind. This is more of 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.400 an opportunity for Holly and the great Chris Brown and 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:29.280 Brittany at Gonzola to say this is what I heard, 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.880 and this is how I've been walking it out, and 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.960 we'll talk about that together. The Bible says he who 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.159 walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:44.040 fools suffers harm. No fools on this couch today. We're 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.960 just going to do this for as long as until 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.400 we get tired of talking about it. So thank you 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.880 for joining us, Holly. Why don't you kick it off 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.400 with a little run it back and then we'll walk 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.320 it out and I'll jump in and preach a little 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.040 more and you can ask me whatever you want. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:02.400 Okay, So I'm of all, when we were going home 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.800 from church, I well, okay, let me back it up. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.040 First of all, I cried in this message, and I 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.680 walked back and I gave you a hug, and I said, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.960 that was exactly what I needed to hear, and so 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:20.240 I want to thank you for that. And then I 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.880 think I said to you at some point, I just 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.360 feel like that sermon was classic Steven Ferdick. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.240 And what I mean by. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:34.240 That is you are the master of wordplay, and so 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.520 you start off and of course you're like so organic 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:45.600 and you write down one day when and you're talking 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.760 to us all about one day when, which is perfect 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.599 for the start of a new year, because we all 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.119 have our one day wins for the year, for our life, 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:54.520 for our future, whatever. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.920 And I'm just going. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.279 Right along with you, not even planning for you to 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.480 do anything. And you switch it up, give me the 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:08.120 next one, and you tell us becomes a one day win. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.520 And I'm telling you, like I think this will, this 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.440 will forever be in my head a one day win. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.200 And you've heard me preach seven thousand times since we 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.720 were boys, you know, out into yeah woods. And you 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.160 texted me, what did you say? 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.039 Well, I said, the message is goat status because of 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:27.760 the same thing. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.320 Yeah, it's like, come on, wow, but it's so sticky. Well, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.840 the stickiness of it for me really ministered. And here's why, 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.760 because I could easily be this vision board guy. You 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:44.440 know this one day when I reached this certain status 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:50.120 in my anything, my preaching ability, my creative achievements, my 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.080 parenting patience, my net worth, anything you want to mention. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.719 That's a surface level accomplishment. One day when I feel 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.839 good about myself. Yeah, one day, when then I will 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.760 have arrived. One day when then I'll put the time 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.880 into this or develop this new thing, or I'll get 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.560 a hobby, but just thinking like even getting to that 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.400 one day when that God plants in us the dream 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.320 and the vision that he gives us starts with a 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.920 one day wi in when. So for me, it wasn't 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.600 just trying to be clever that's how I have to 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:24.320 live my life. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.120 No, And that's what I that is what I love 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.440 about your preaching. And I told you this, I said, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.760 you are so good at taking something that God gives 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.960 you and living it out. And to me, this is like, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.440 this is your sweet spot is having a vision, Like 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.280 you don't actually have a vision board, but I think 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.920 you have a vision board in your head and you 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.640 have this one day when with an E and you're 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:56.080 able to break it down into daily winds. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.160 And I have seen you do this like. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.559 You're just you're the best at it at just going Okay, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.600 what's a win for today, or what's a win for 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.240 this week? Or what's a habit or a routine that 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.480 I'm going to put into place? 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.240 So like, can you tell. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:18.040 Us a little bit more about going from when to win? 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.640 It was because I was thinking about the people I 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.640 was preaching to and I was studying this passage that 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.800 God spoke to me three years ago in Isaiah twenty seven. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.760 I mean, you've had this verse written on your nightstand, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.280 for it's. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.920 Sitting on a note card on my nightstand as we 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.360 speak up under some other books that I'm supposed to 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:43.840 be reading. But it's not a very practical scripture. It's 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.040 a prophetic scripture about the nation of Israel, and they 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.520 were in captivity, and they were oppressed, and God was 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.120 making them a promise. And I read it so many 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.360 times over the last few years, and I shared a 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.480 little bit about this scripture with our students at Youtheks 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.200 this summer. But something so granular stood out to me 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.559 this time, and I'm gonna share with you now. You 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.400 can follow along Isaiah twenty seven. Verse one, in that day, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.240 the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce, great 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:16.920 and powerful sword, Leviathan, the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.080 He will slay the monster of the sea. I have 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.240 a whole sermon on that I hope to share one 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.480 day soon too. But then verse two, it picks up 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.240 the motif in that day, so it says it twice. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.960 If you're following along, you'll see it in that day 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.600 sing about a fruitful vineyard. So verse one is in 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.320 that day, the Lord will punish Leviathan. I think this 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.480 has to do with God dealing with the things in 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.360 our life that drag us down. For many of you, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.959 right now, you're fighting against a spirit of depression. You're 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:52.560 fighting against mental patterns of anxiety and everything you see 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.600 online that tells you take an ice bath and meditate 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.360 and break seven eggs over your head every morning at 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.480 seven am and say mantras that you got posted notes 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.000 up all around saying I am complete, and God's got 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:08.520 this and it doesn't break through. And the promise of 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.839 verse one is that God is fighting against everything that 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.160 brings his people down. And verse two gives us a 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:21.120 strategy that as God fights the battles that we can't 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.920 fight in our own strength, we are to watch this 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.840 verse two sing about a fruitful vineyard. And what first 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.120 opened my mind to the revelation of a day, Because 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.120 that's what I want you to get right now, is 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:39.360 the revelation of a day in that day. It's a 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.839 prophetic scripture. It's a term that's used to talk about 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.960 everything going from the second coming of Christ to the 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.120 judgment of God's people in certain context to the judgment 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.280 of God's enemies. But I started seeing a little differently. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.720 I said, wait a minute. It says in that day 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.520 God's going to fight against Leviathan the things that us down, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.840 and in that day we're supposed to be singing. So 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.240 when I saw that there's a song and a sword 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.600 in the same day, it sets my expectation. So I 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.240 called the message this is that day. All right, this 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.800 is going to be one of those days. You just 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.800 better wake up knowing it. There's going to be blessings. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.439 I didn't expect today. A little smile I catch, or 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.280 I'm able to give here there a little word of encouragement, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.520 a little word of discouragement. So we accept it, all right. Well, 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.120 then I start having fun with it. I started reading 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.520 verse six, where it said in days to come, Jacob 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.640 will take root, Israel will butt and blossom and fill 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.280 all the world with fruit. So now I'm thinking, okay, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.320 we got two actions happening in verse six. One is 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:50.480 going downward taking root, one is going upward bearing fruit. Yes, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.000 and it showed me that each day we'll have its 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:59.840 ups and downs, and both are a part of our destiny. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:05.000 Both are a part of God's purpose. So my first 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.920 step was getting you to see that not only do 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.640 you have a new year in front of you, twenty 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:16.360 twenty four, but that every day God's mercies are new, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.520 you get a new twenty four. Now that's a basketball term. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.280 I'm not a basketball fan, but I was watching a 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.960 basketball game a few years ago and the guy missed 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.080 a shot and he got an offensive rebound. And I 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.120 know that the rules have changed in the NBA because 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.440 I researched it before. I appreciate it. But back then, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.680 when you would get an offensive rebound off the glass 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.600 in the NBA, the shot clock would go back to 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.400 a full twenty four seconds. So you get a whole 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:48.040 new twenty four every day, no matter what shot you 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.640 missed last year, no matter what shot you missed today, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.120 no matter what YouTube video you were watching before this 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:59.120 one mine that you feel guilty about. Well, you're here now. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.839 The revelation of the day for me was so powerful 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.800 because I can get paralyzed by five years from now, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.720 and I need everybody to be honest for a minute. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.320 Are you like me where you have so many one 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.439 day wins? Give me my card back with it. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.480 I was gonna I was going to keep them. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.240 Yeah, you can have them when I'm done. But I 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.480 just need to be clear because its kind of tricky. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.480 One day when all the all the things you're going 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.200 to accomplish for God, when you have more time to 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.720 do it, all the all the nice things you're going 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.880 to say to people, when the perfect opportunity comes up. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.800 I told somebody the other day, one day, when I 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.760 get a chance, I'm going to tell you how much 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.760 you meant to me at this stage of my life. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:44.600 And the Lord spoke to me. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.559 Tell now, do it now? 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, get a one day win, like get 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.960 get get the things said the best you can today 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.640 and revise it tomorrow. So it's very practical for me, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.880 but it also has a heaviness. That's why I didn't 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.720 want it to just be okay when when I get it, 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.680 you change the letters like I'm van a white on 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.400 wheel of fortune, change in letters or something. No, it 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.319 was more powerful to me. It was getting to realize 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.840 that the way that you're going to get to the 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.600 one day when you are a patient person, the one 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.840 day when you have financial security, the one day when 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.920 you're able to let the peace of Christ rest rule 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.040 and abide in your heart. The way you're going to 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.840 get to the one day when is through the power 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:37.760 of a one day when. So where does God want 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.040 me to win today? And just to take it one 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.760 silly step further and so you can see how demented 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.560 my brain is with wordplay. I even use wi in 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.440 as an acronym. What's important now? 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.880 Wow, I got to write that down. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.080 Yeah, what's important now? So good? And I want you 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.280 to start thinking that way this year because God has 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.120 given you this year, but he's given you this day. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.720 So it was in my heart to help people, you know, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.520 because I don't want to be up there talking about 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.640 a fruitful vineyard and Jacob taking rude and Israel and 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.760 you're going, that's great for the Bible. But and I'm 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.600 just trying today to like have one family meal with 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.680 my family this week, or I'm just trying this week 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:29.520 to have one day where I wake up and exercise right. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.760 And there's real power in the one day win and 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.880 it's changed my life and I just want to share 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.200 it with our entire church family and all those we 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:36.720 minister to. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.080 Do you feel like your winds change from day to day? 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.560 I do you have some that are like I have 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.600 to do this every day, and then there are some 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.640 where you're like, you know, today this is my win. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.520 That's a great question because it reminds me of a 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.280 conversation I had with a really wise man. I said, 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.280 I feel like if I'm winning in one area, I'm 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.680 losing in another area. I feel like with my life, 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.560 I can really be winning with what I'm producing creatively 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.840 or for the ministry, and then in an area at 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.400 home it needs my attention. And he said something so 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.640 powerful back to me. He said, You're not gonna win 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.520 everywhere every day. Just don't lose in the same area every. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.160 Day, right right, Okay? 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.040 And it is it is a balance. Well, that's where 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.040 you get with the Holy Spirit, and that's where you 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.880 pay attention to what he's speaking to you. I mean, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.640 what do you think about it? Because you listen to 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.920 the message, and this is called run it back, walk 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.080 it out. So for somebody who's not so much of 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.360 a win lost person, I don't know if this is 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.520 a male female thing or just a competitive thing. I 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.200 know that the term win isn't really your turn. I mean, 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.760 you don't wake up in the morning late. I need 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.880 to be a winner. I need to crush it. I 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.320 need to smash it. You know that's not your vibe. Yeah, 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.280 but how did you hear it about winning everyone? 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.640 I think that it sets me free to say a 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:03.000 one day win, because sometimes I get overwhelmed when I 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:07.280 think about people like you who have who are very 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.080 disciplined and so you have certain things that you do 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.760 every day. But for me, it really set me free 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:19.840 to realize, like, okay, wait, so for instance, today we're 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.720 here and we're having this conversation. We're also working on 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.439 shooting some videos for your new book release. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.000 There's a plug do the new you pre order it. 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:29.760 It's amazing. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.439 And so this is not a winning mom day for me. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.879 This is a winning work day for me. And so 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.280 when I lay my head on my pillow at night 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.960 and somebody is frustrated because they couldn't find their their 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:51.040 you know, their wrestling single isn't clean, or there's no 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.160 Chewy bars in the house, I'm not going to bed 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.600 feeling defeated because that wasn't the win for today for me? 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:00.880 Does that? 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.639 But I want to expand your definition of what a 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:04.000 win is. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:05.320 Help. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.760 Did you not set an example for your kids today 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.160 of what it means to come in and work hard 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.840 at meaningful ministry? Do they not need to see that 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.879 mom got up today and the biggest thing wasn't me 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.520 cleaning that wrestling single that maybe the biggest thing was 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.280 them learning how to do their own laundry. Because the 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.280 world is bigger than just us. I think a lot 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.680 of times you don't give yourself credit for the win 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.800 because of how you defined it. So what's your definition 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:37.280 of a win? 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:38.040 Wow? 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.160 Do you think that a win is being able to 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:47.199 enable everybody else's laziness? Because sometimes it is through setting 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:52.720 an example of balancing a complicated life that you actually 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.800 give that kid a template that they can follow one 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.679 day if they find themselves as a mom or as 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.159 a dad. So I would challenge each of you to 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.359 expand your definition of what you call a win. I 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.639 like that movie Moneyball, and you can go back and 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.840 watch just the very last part of it. And this 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.800 guy hits a home run and it goes way over 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:20.639 I think, over centerfield wall, and he trips when he 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.639 gets to first base, and he's so discouraged because he 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.760 tripped on first base. But when they tap him and 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.920 they show him, wait a minute, that ball is over 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.680 the centerfield wall doesn't matter. You hit a home run 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.400 and you didn't even know it. Yeah, it's a great 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.840 picture of how the enemy discourages us because we trip 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.680 over this. Oh, I sounded so stupid when I said 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:47.440 that they weren't listening to you. They weren't even paying attention. 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.400 Then you go back and apologize to somebody you'd ever 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.119 done this. I'm so sorry when I did this, it 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.560 sounded so stupid, And they go, what are you talking about? 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.320 So you are penalizing yourself for losses that actually didn't 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.520 even occur in reality. Yeah, and when we sync up 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:06.000 with God, he shows us what's really important to him. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:06.960 So helpful. 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.080 What do y'all think? And y'all are real quiet? I 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.280 want I want to hear what Brent thinks. I want 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:12.639 to hear what Chris thinks. I want to hear I 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.080 want to hear from the whole group. 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.199 Well, I was I was thinking, you've showed up a 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.600 lot of times for songwriting session and you leave and 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:27.360 maybe it wasn't the greatest song or the most productive day, 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.600 and we might text about it later that night or 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.800 the next day, and you're like, I showed up. I 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.800 see it as a win, and you know, I don't 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.879 know what'll come of that song, but I showed up, 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.600 and I've got to see me showing up as the 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.600 wind for yesterday. Yeah yeah, And so however that applies to, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.760 you know, any facet of life, Like I may have 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.200 not felt like I had the deepest conversation with Joe 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.440 and my son at bedtime tonight, but I was by 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:56.920 his bed. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.960 You were there, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:00.359 Yeah, you know. 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:05.040 I spent five minutes with him saying you day good, 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.960 talk about a movie that's nothing deep. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.359 But I was there, and he probably didn't want more 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.760 than five minutes, ready to get back on anyway, exactly. 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:16.720
