You you're singing your heart, 116 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: your your blessings, how they affect people. When I read 117 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: something like that, knowing that you are tied to the 118 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: church founded the church in Nashville. Talked to my artists 119 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: for a minute about that. Um, well, first of all, 120 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: it makes me want to cry, brings tears to my eyes. Um, 121 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, Chure, when I was let me see, I 122 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: was probably about seventeen years old when BB and I 123 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: started singing and um when I was older than that, 124 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 1: I was older that we started it on the TV 125 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: show years ago, and starting out that young as a teenager, um, 126 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: eighteen years old, nineteen years old, you get a lot 127 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: of male from young people. And I realized at that 128 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: time because I received a piece of male from a 129 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: young lady back then, and she was telling me how 130 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: she was listening to the radio and how our song 131 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: came on the radio, and how she was contemplating suicide 132 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: and after hearing our songs, she decided to give life 133 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: another try. Um, that hit me so hard that I 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: would never forget it. I realized then that my music 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: was not about just entertainment. Yes, we want people to 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: enjoy it. We want them to you know, get excited 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: about it, laugh, dance, enjoy it with with their their 138 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: their families and all of that come to the concerts. 139 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: But I realized that the power of music is powerful 140 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: enough to really impact people in such a way that 141 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: it's it's literally life or death. And so as a 142 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: as a as a young person, I had to rethink 143 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: what God was sending me to do and and so, 144 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: but reading those comments and hearing those comments today that 145 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: you just shared with me. Um, it just reinforces the 146 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: power of music. It's powerful when it's positive, and it's 147 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: powerful when it's negative, you know. Um. But but singing 148 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: the gospel, singing the scripture, singing the word, it actually 149 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: gives life, you know. And so I am honored. I'm 150 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: privileged to be able to sing gospel music. And I'm 151 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: humbled that God would use a young lady from Detroit, Michigan. 152 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: You know, um of touch people in such a way 153 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: that it literally saves their lives. And so I am speechless. 154 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sharing, and for those who 155 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: rode in, thank you so much for sharing your testimony, because, um, 156 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: it's life changing for me.

You have to be willing to to do 227 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: the new, you know, because what God has given me. Um, 228 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: I have the responsibility of stewarding it will you know, 229 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: and UM, it's it's it brings challenges, but we all 230 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: have to be willing.

And so but but 233 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: but generations, Ah, I've been wanting to start rather as 234 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: a conference or ministry for for everybody, but especially women, 235 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: UM of different ages you know. Um, Like I said, 236 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: when I started out, I was about singing professionally, maybe 237 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: about sixteen years old. I'm fifty six now, soon to 238 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: be fifty seven. And my mom is still with me, 239 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: who's an amazing woman of God. And a lot of 240 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: times we live in this culture that we as we 241 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: get older, people seem to think you lose your value. 242 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: But I I believe that you become more valuable the 243 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: older you get. Um. And my mom is still with 244 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: me and she's eighty four years old, soon to be 245 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: eighty five, And I wanted to make sure, you know, 246 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: because so many times we sit back and after someone's gone, 247 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: we wish we would have done this, and we wish 248 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: we would have done that. And I want to encourage 249 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: everybody who's hearing me today, move on what God has 250 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: put in your heart. Stop waiting for the perfect time, 251 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: because the perfect time is now. You know, It's never 252 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: a perfect time to do, to do, to step out 253 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: and to do the new, you know. And so coming 254 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: together it was important to bring my mom and now 255 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: to bring my daughter, who's a new mom, and so 256 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: that we could understand the the power of generations, the 257 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: power of love, the power of family, the power of 258 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: God's faithfulness to every generation, and also to find out 259 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: and to learn, you know, I am who I am 260 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: today because I had a mother who took out time 261 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: to pour into me um and and we have to 262 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: take out time to pour into the younger generation. I'm 263 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: here to pour into my daughter because your prayer for 264 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: your children is that they will do better than what 265 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: you've done. Absolutely, yeah, And that's really important that you 266 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: say that, because it's not about paying it for it's 267 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: just that you know, I was, I have a daughter, 268 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: I've been blessed married thirty three years. So you got 269 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: me by four he got me a boy four years okay, okay, 270 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: so and you know those those years they have challenges 271 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: because nothing ever. Yeah, but it's about communication. It's about 272 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: communication when we look at it, and and when you say, 273 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: when you talk about change, I remember when I was 274 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: managing Steve Harvey. You know we had this, Uh, I 275 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: was resisting the Twitter and the social media because we 276 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: had a radio for Man that was syndicated. We had 277 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: a fan club or like a million fan club subscribers, 278 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: like go, why do I need this new technology? Because 279 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: you need it because you have to be able to 280 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: be topical, You have to be relevant. You have to 281 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: be able to understand how people are communicating, not saying 282 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: what you're doing, and you shouldn't stop what you're doing. 283 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Like and I still have a news letter, but also 284 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: social media also have well. I also have podcasts. I 285 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: also do things on YouTube. All these things have value, 286 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: and all these things can bring in revenue. Now in 287 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: your whole world that you have created, you know, and 288 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: these blessings that you received and been recognized for, leave 289 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: for it is your first live recorded album. Now let's 290 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: let's walk through this then, because I would just go 291 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: back to your c you know, I'm like, you know 292 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: Marvin Gay line five, you know, Frankie Beverly Amazed live 293 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: and do all this. You know, I'm that type of 294 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: live you know what I'm saying. Yeah that, and but 295 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: here in your live you know, it was a different lie. 296 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to party. I was just sitting there 297 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: being inspired and being able to think about myself in 298 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: a positive way. And so why did you wait this 299 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: long for your first live recording? And what did you 300 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: get out of What was you received out of a 301 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: CC when you when you when you brought everybody together 302 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: and then they went it's a rap. Yeah, I love 303 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: that question. Well, first of all, I don't have a 304 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: good answer for you why I waited so long because 305 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: I love the experience of life worship life concerts. We've 306 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: toured for years and there's nothing like it, you know. 307 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: But also I guess for me, in the studio, when 308 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: you do a recording in the studio, you're able to 309 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: kind of listen to it, tweaking it fixed this, make sure, 310 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: you know. So that's the value to me and doing 311 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: in the studio. But I think we just got busy 312 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: with life and never took out the time to record 313 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: a live record. I've done live videos, but never released 314 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: the record that was live. And and again, I just 315 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: don't have a good answer. I just didn't take out 316 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: the time. But but this was the time. Um. And 317 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: now that I look back, I see it was really 318 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: the time because we had planned it before the pandemic happened, 319 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: and when the pandemic happened, Um, we had to cancel 320 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: everything because your first live record, you know, we were 321 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: we were having it at a place where we wanted 322 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: about four or five thousand people, and so that wasn't 323 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna work. And so now I'm looking at doing my 324 00:18:51,400 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: first live record with no people, right right, right, So 325 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: so we canceled it, Richard, and then we uh later 326 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: on towards the end of the year, I felt like 327 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: it was time. It's like, we have to release this. 328 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: And probably even more so because of the pandemic. A 329 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: lot of people were isolated. A lot of people didn't 330 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: have family members. You just said, how you've been married 331 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: thirty three years. I've been married almost well thirty seven years, 332 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: and uh, um, but a lot of people didn't have family, 333 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people were hurting, a lot 334 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: of people lost family, and so I felt like this 335 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: record was something that was really needed to create a 336 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: live experience where people, I mean, churches were closed down. 337 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: A lot of people couldn't go to church, you know, 338 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: and UM, that's rough you used to be in the 339 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: in the sanctuary with more people and worshiping together. That's 340 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: a big uh gap in your life when you can't 341 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 1: have it. And so I felt like this record was 342 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: right on time to help people right where they were, um, 343 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: going through the pandemic and understanding that God was with them, 344 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: to let them know that They're not forgotten, to let 345 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: them know, you know, uh, don't give up, don't give in. 346 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: Um do the things that we need to do to 347 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: protect ourselves. But but let's praise God through through the situations. 348 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: And and so after we finished this record, we had 349 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: people praying. You know, I think during that time you 350 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: could have maybe fifty people. And so I brought people 351 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: in who I knew, knew how to pray, and they prayed. 352 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: They prayed throughout that audience. UM, and we had a 353 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: great time. And after we were done, I was like, Lord, 354 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: I thank you for your love because I felt the 355 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: love of God in that room, and my prayers that 356 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: it would be so strong that when people heard it 357 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: that they would feel it. That's as beautiful. And we're 358 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: live here outside the Perez family home, just waiting for 359 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: the and there they go, almost on time.

When I sit down on 400 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: that pew and somebody maybe to the left of me, 401 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: maybe to the right, because I always get on the end, 402 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 1: I was I like getting on the end. That's why 403 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: I said I'll sit on the end. I might be 404 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: on the end, on the left of the end of 405 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: the right. That's that's why I sit c C.

It really is. 409 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: I don't think about my job. I don't think about 410 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: my problems, and what I do think about is what 411 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: I can do with my life and the people I 412 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: care about. And I also think about forgiving my enemies, 413 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: because I I said prayer. I always I pray for 414 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: the people I care about, and I also pray for 415 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: the people that are my enemies because they need to 416 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: be blessed for some reason. Why they don't know why 417 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: they're not my enemies, but they my enemies. But guess what, 418 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna still gonna give your blessing in my prayer. 419 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: And so being the person, you know, one of the 420 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: founding pastors of Nashville Life Church, and I'm and hearing 421 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: me say this is is that? What is the What 422 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: is what is the goal? When you see a person 423 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: like me sitting there and you got the choir singing, 424 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: you got the the people who are a naunted preaching 425 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: and serving the word of God, what is that goal? 426 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: The goal is for you to have an encounter without 427 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: Heavenly Father. The goal is for you to just what 428 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: you were saying, for you to receive what you need. 429 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: You know, we all come in the church. The church 430 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: is UM. It's it's a spiritual hospital, right. We come 431 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: in for healing. Some of us need healing physically, some 432 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: of us need healing from a broken heart. Some of 433 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: us need healing for you know, the stress that we've 434 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: been under. UM. You want to be refreshed, You want 435 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: to be renewed, your mind to be renewed. You want 436 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: to be a place of escape where you forget about 437 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: your problems and you forget about everything that you're going through. 438 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: So that you can receive the wisdom you need, the 439 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: love you need, the power you need. A lot of 440 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: times you have to be reminded of who you are. 441 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: You know. So many times we can focus on we 442 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: don't have, we forget the blessings that we already had. Um. 443 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: And so it's a great place to come to and 444 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: like you said, so that you can learn to forgive, 445 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: to forgive, because a lot of times people are walking 446 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: unforgiveness and they think they're hurting the other person, but unforgiven, 447 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: that's only hurts you to bring. Yeah, it weighs you down, 448 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: you know. And so our goal is always for people 449 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: to have an encounter with Jesus, to have an encounter 450 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: with the love of God, because it's through that supernatural 451 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: touch that your life has changed.

It's not 495 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: that people don't want to do it all the time. 496 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: A lot of times they feel like they're um, you know, 497 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: don't have what it takes. But but everybody can learn. 498 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: You know, you have to be patient and you have 499 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: to ask questions. And so we were able to do 500 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: that and start our own label years ago, and I'm 501 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: so glad I did made a major difference and what 502 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: I was seeing before from my labor um and what 503 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: I was seeing afterwards. And and so I started educating 504 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: people and telling people that yeah, if I, if I 505 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: did it, you can do it too. You can do 506 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: it too. And a lot of my friends embrace that, 507 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, in the industry, and started thinking from the 508 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: entrepreneur side, opposed to UM just being an office, you know, 509 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: to understanding the importance of of owning and the importance 510 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: of being in charge, the importance of because that's another thing, 511 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: especially as a gospel artist, you want to make sure 512 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: that when you talk about your brand that you're having 513 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: the last say so, because it's not about me. I 514 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: represent the Father. I represent Um, the one who created 515 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: all things and who gave us this gift. And and 516 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: my my aim when we were talking about the goal 517 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: even in churches, that people will have an encounter with Jesus, 518 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: that they will receive um supernatural peace and hope and 519 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: and all of those good things that God brings. And 520 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: so it's so important to protect your brand UM. When 521 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 1: it comes to that as well, you have to go 522 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: you have to go above and be I, you know, 523 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: because it's not about me, but it's about the people 524 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: that we serve that they will be touched with um 525 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: in the right way. And so yeah, being an entrepreneur, 526 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: yeah you have to be more into the details. But 527 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it's so worth it in so many ways. 528 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: And I want to encourage people to to think differently, 529 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: to understand that you can be a business owner. You 530 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: you want to be involved in and and what's happening 531 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: not just in your life, but all the opportunities that 532 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 1: are out here. Even during this pandemic, even though a 533 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: lot of things closed down, a lot of things opened up, 534 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: you know. And again it's how do you look at it? 535 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: Do you look at it as oh no, or do 536 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: you look at it this could this be an opportunity? 537 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: Is this? Is there an opportunity here for me? And 538 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: praying and asking God, you know, Lord, you've given me gifts. 539 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: We all have individual gifts and very unique gifts and 540 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: and and if you pray and ask the Lord to 541 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: show you, he will. He'll show you. And before you 542 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: know it, you'll be operating in a in a whole 543 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: different way and your whole life will be affected by it.
