WEBVTT - Homecoming Season

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Wind down with Janet Kramer and I heard radio podcast

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't intro? Can we begin talking? We can begin talking now. Okay,

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot, there's a lot, and you face time

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to me this morning. So something that you had said

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>last week, like I didn't prerequisite it? Is that the

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>word you used? I don't. I don't know. Okay, um

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>who let us? Who led us on here? And I

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was just I saw the headlines about Adam Levine and

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, we have to talk about it.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But I also wanted to bring it to your attention.

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So I faced time and I go, hey, girl, are

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you cool speaking about the Adam stuff? And You're like

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.639
<v Speaker 1>what I know? And I was like, wait what, I'm

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>always a little behind anyways, So I'm like jogging a treadmill.

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Just google it, call me back. By the way, I

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like every dude in America would die to get

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>my face times from you. Like it's just always Janna

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and her sweet face. What's happening here? It was like

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>always Janna and her sweet face. And then these voluptuous

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>boobs just doing this Pamela Anderson, Like all I can

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>hear is like the Baywatch theme song and I'm like, hey, BF,

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>talk to me. And I'm like, every dude in America

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>would die if they got to get this spacetime. So

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>once in a while, I like to FaceTime Janna with

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>my forty year old twice tried to nurse boobs and

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>just show her what the difference looks like, well, I'm

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>on the treadmill. I do my work on the treadmill.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You do, and you can also talk while you're running,

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>which is a real feat. Wait time Hunt intended, didn't

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Luke Brian one time? You you picked up and you're like,

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>she's usually in a sports bra or whatever, and I

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, so embarrassed, Yeah it was. Was it, Luke Brian?

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. And You're like, it's Janna, She's

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>usually just I was like, oh Jesus, Chris. I was like, oh,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome, everybody, look at my hot best friend. But

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like in a like sweatshirt that when tears

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>rolling down her face, a real Lauren Conrad. Anyhow okay,

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>so I said Google and she walked in and we're like,

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>we just have to like press records, so here's my

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>let me just start. Can we just start with his

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>apology because I feel like it's very similar to the

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Thompson apology, and I'm just gonna break down his

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>apology for a second. Do they have the same PR team,

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>because that's usually where those heartfelt responses come from. It's

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a I think, you know, it's so triggering, and again,

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>not trying to like make this about me or anything,

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like when someone is in when someone

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>cheats or is inappropriate there, apology is what triggers me

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the most because it's copy paste and it's like, okay,

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>for example, a lot is being said about me. This

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>is what Adam Levin said. A lot is being said

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>about me right now. And I want to clear there.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>my wife in any kind of flirtatious manner. I did

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>not have an affair. Nevertheless, oh rewind, I crossed the

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>line across the line during a regrettable period in my life.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>In certain instances, it became inappropriate. I have addressed that

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 1>and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>My wife and my my wife and my family is

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>all I care about in this world. Really, mhm. Triggering

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to be this naive and stupid enough to risk the

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>only thing that truly matters to me. To me was

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will I

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>will never make it again. I will take full responsibility.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>We will get through it, and we'll get through it together.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. Well he sure made her his team and

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that didn't he She Yeah, he sure did. I'd love

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to know what her statement is, you mother, there's some

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't she pregnant with this third baby? Whatever? So that

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>was that was super well again, I think anything that happens.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And I got an email from a fellow person who

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>we've been in it together, and she texted me and

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to read you her text message. And she

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>goes and she's by the way, she's actually met her

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>at a wind down event and she was married to

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a sex addict and she ended up just saying like

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>he kept kept cheating and now she's um remarried with

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the baby and her life is you know, it is good.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But she goes, I don't know about you, but whenever

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>a cheating scandal hits my internet, um my betrayal trauma

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>gets triggered a bit beyond happy that we are both

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of it, and I'm so grateful

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>for all the amazing women I'm now connected to through

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>our shared experiences thinking of you and sending you love.

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's like I connected with that so much because

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, like I'm over the stuff that happened,

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and you might be over some of the things that

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you face, but it's still very triggering when something comes up,

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>especially when it's that specific. I think, Yeah, it's like, oh,

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I was pregnant with my when Max cheated. I was like,

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's like to hear these words, it's like, I

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>just when my wife, my my my wife and my

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>family is all I care about in this world that

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I can just a little hard to believe. And that's

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>where that's where I always was my biggest in my marriage.

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, how am I? How? How are you thinking? When? When?

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>When are you thinking about me? Was when before or

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>after you said that, Oh my god, you're the hottest

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like girl in the world, so some other woman? Yeah,

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't He also link it to a separate Instagram account,

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like I thought I read somewhere that and I did

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it quick because I was also just like belly ached.

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I also feel for his wife and I forget her name. Um,

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>but I just hate that it has to be so public.

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the one thet I thought you said

0:05:53.839 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the hottie. I was like, no, she is quite beautiful that. Um.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I just hate it that it's so public because it's

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>so embarrassing and even as a confident person, it still

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 1>feels a certain way, and you'd still prefer that it

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>not be. Like, no one wants that done to them,

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Certainly no one wants that done to them in such

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a public way. She's pregnant with the third baby. She's

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>probably trying to get her grip on life and her

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>feet back underneath her, because that'll knock you down pretty fast.

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>And now it's all online and he will never do

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>that again. Well that's the thing that never really bothers

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 1>me too. I'm like, you can't say that. You can't.

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing, Like, Okay, I agree with one's

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>cheater always I don't. I'm sorry, I don't agree with

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>once a cheater, always a cheater. Okay, I don't either.

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I I because I was a cheater in my twenties.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I cheated on a few relationships. Not proud of that,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Like not proud of that at all, okay, but also

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>twenties not. It doesn't matter. There's no excuse. I just

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I had, like I see now why I did certain things. Sure,

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like my worth and this whatever, like I've

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>dissected it. Oh you like to give me attention. Yeah,

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>so I've like dissected that piece of meat. But I

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>can't say so. So I go to the once you

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>always hear, I don't believe so because I in my

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>core I don't think I could ever do that again.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But I can't say never. Well we should, So I

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>get in trouble and therapy for using absolute language with Preston.

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I use always and never as absolute language, and it

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>is triggering for him and also just pins people down.

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to think of a good example off

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the top of my head. But I'll say, like, well

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you never do that, Well, it's not true that it's never,

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>But that makes him feel like defensive, same way we

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>feel defensive when we read never. Yeah, because I'm like,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't say that, how do you know? Like, and

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>then she's got to be wondering is there more when?

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing, and I'm not saying it's it's

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>one equals the other. It's the same thing that happened

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>with but like when there's one, there's always more if

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a man can step outside like that. Always absolute language

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>runs in the genetics of Michigan girls always and you

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.119
<v Speaker 1>never um. But I think there's something to be said,

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>like if there is one, I'm sure and quite possibly

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 1>there could be another that he's slidingly, most likely sliding

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>through someone else. And that's where my brain always went to.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you're only and here's here's what I think

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>hurts the worst. Two. I'm only finding this out because

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it got discovered, not because you came to me and

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 1>told me the truth. Like, let's give him the benefit

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt. Maybe hopefully he said something to her,

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna say he probably didn't because most men

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do that. Most men don't have the balls to go.

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I sipped up. Yeah, I can't think of a time

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>in my life where I have felt that they've owned

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it coming like saying I need to tell you something.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I also there was one other thing about that that

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted. Oh, let's talk about this for two seconds.

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting to me that it's not an affair. Oh, interesting. Yeah,

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, so, let me get this straight. Because you

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't sleep with her. It's not cheating. It's not cheating.

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It was just inappropriate and sorry, let me just go

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>back to his words. I don't want to like speak

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>up on his path as I crossed the line during

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a regrettable period. Um, I did not have a fair

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>never Nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of my life. It's like, okay, well that sentence is

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>not for anyone but him. M hm, I did not

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>have an affair. Nevertheless. You know who did it really well?

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Actually was justin Timberlake. Yeah, what did he do? He

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>basically said. I'm I don't think he ever put out

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>like the I did not have an affair, because when

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you're speaking those words, you better be damn sure. Well, also,

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>is it not an affair? Well, that's that it's interesting too,

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>well because it's an emotional fair for sure, a guy

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>just sending a message. Because she said her side of

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the story is they've been having a year long affair.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's what she said. I'd also like to

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>just talk about her for two seconds, because she knew

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he was married, right, Okay, there's that's all I wanted

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>to say. Okay, okay, yes, just like my husband's mistress

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>knew that I was pregnant mhm mm hmm on this

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>episode of Quality Humans. So here's okay, this is gonna

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 1>sound really bad that song. Don't mess with my man?

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Can I just say something though, I'm going to give it.

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I have a little empathy for the other side. I know,

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, and it's it's even when I screamed at

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 1>my husband's one of his husbands, my husband's a fair girls,

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the longer one, there was still a piece of me

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that was like, she's so broken to have done this,

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and so I can have a little piece of grace

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>for her to know you just winced because she must

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>be struggling with something really bad too. It doesn't make

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>any of it when you're struggling with something. And I'm

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>not saying it's right at all, but like I do

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>think we are all human in some aspects of where

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it's like I can, I don't, I will. I I

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>could never imagine sleeping with a man that knowing his

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>well that he's married A or B, she's pregnant or whatever.

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>But you all, I also don't know what he said

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.079
<v Speaker 1>to her. Yeah, and I will say this too. This

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>may actually lead us quite wachfully into your guest, but

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>we both believe in Jesus and redemption. And that's the

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>love story of being a Christian is our brokenness, our sins, forgiveness, grace, redemption, resurrection.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like I am hopeful that this is

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>really his truth, Adam's truth. I'm hopeful that that lands

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>somewhere with her and that can be you know, maybe

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a pivotal point in their marriage that they need

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>something like this is gross and left up as that sounds,

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>but like maybe this is the turning point along overdue

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>reconnection or something. That's that's my prayer over that family

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 1>because it sucks and it's hurtful and there's kids involved,

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's public and you know nothing about that. But

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>back to your and amen to that for sure. But

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>is it if it was just texting, is that cheating?

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I say yes. I mean I say yes too, But

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the general public would say because I

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>think a man, which is like I was just being inappropriate.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So it was towing the line. Is towing the line cheating?

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to do an Instagram poll. What I

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>will say is the rule for us not always followed,

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is is you communicate as if I'm next to you

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>when you're in public, when you're with a person, with

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>your representative, a radio person, anything, and then also in

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the same breath when you're communicating and writing something, is

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>this something that you would group text with me on?

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>And if you would not, then you should not in

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a boxer with a fox or with a boat or

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a hoe. So I think it's cheating. I mean, I

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I do agree with you. I absolutely

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I think if you're especially if you're

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean yes, and my flirtatious person. Sure,

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but I would never O don't say never, right, Um,

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I would like to think that how do I say this?

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Like the things that I've read which I was made

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to believe it wasn't cheating, But I'm like, you are

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>telling this woman how beautiful she is and how sexy

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 1>she is. Like that's a hurtful and that's emotional, that's

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>an emotional because like I mean, that's that's still that's

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>still cheating. I'm still like I'll stay I'll stand my

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>ground that too, Like I still think it's cheating. I

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>do too, And I also just feel like doesn't matter

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>what it's classified as because it just sucks and it's hurtful.

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So if it's hurtful, I guess it doesn't matter. It

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>just all I mean, that's a whole family, I know.

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But then it's also too where like for the end

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of mine, where it's like, but it had to be

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>physical cheating to make me leave, but like why all

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>this other stuff is that not enough? It's inappropriate, still

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>inappropriate and still wrong. So now I look at it

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, your marriage exactly. So it's like when

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I look at it now, I'm like next dude, Like

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, here's all the things, like this is what

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it needs because it's like I don't I want to

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>be respected. I'd love to know what it feels like

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to actually be respect And honestly, I have a date tonight.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I know, but my first thought when I

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>saw this and I was like, there's no good. Guess

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>oh that's been the theme. I have a lot of

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>girlfriends feeling that way right now. There's no they're gonna

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>she's she's a supermodel pregnant, you know, like I'm sure

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>everyone has their issues, but I'm like, I just I'm like,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is there any man that's not going to slide into

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>someone else's a young thing and say how freaking beautiful

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you are? Is there any man that's not going to

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>do that? I don't know. Isn't that sad? I will

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>say this though, I think this is I know we

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>both get fired up fight you and I versus the world.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I I do. I think it's worth noting that you

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>have this man who is essentially on top of the world,

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>right Adam Levine. We all know who he is. He's successful,

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 1>he's handsome. Wasn't he like America's sexiest person alive or

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>some sexiest man alive one time? I don't know, I

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>might have made that up. I throw a lass information

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>into the internet, but you know what, I feel like

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone does it, so I get to do it once

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>in a while. But he was, you know, like he's

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody loves Adam Levine and then all of us in

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you just realized Adam Levin is an insecure person who

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>needs to do his own work like us, all right,

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>just a human, yeah, a human making a mistake. But

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 1>can we come up with a better can we please

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>come up with a better I just instead of just

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>saying nevertheless or I did not like, just just be

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>like that's not even needed in there. Actually I did

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>not have an affair. Needs to not even be anywhere

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>near or even saying me, my wife and my families

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>all I care about this because again, m then why

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Justin said something along that line. Well, he needs a

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>new PR team, Adam does because he's been I feel

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.000

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:35.320

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>with unhealthy people because I was unhealthy. So now when

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm in or you know, starting dating, I'm like, oh,

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna because he's not healthy and I'm healthy

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>enough to see the flags this time, whereas a year ago,

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>six months or no, like a year ago, I was like,

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>or six months ago, I was like, oh, those are

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 1>still attractive flags. So I just don't want us to

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 1>skate past the fact they have a date tonight. I

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 1>just want to take the pin out. Just chatted out

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a little. It was the story I tried to tell

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>last week. And then we got on I will never

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>mention even the BJ born Jewish, but I was gonna

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>say I don't want to the BJ. I had to

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 1>clarify that we talked about bjs on the Wine Down

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 1>tour drop Mike, um did do that, so yeah, so

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 1>we we. Then I got on the whole like I

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:43.399
<v Speaker 1>texted the BJ situation. Um, BJ, that's not that's not

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>his nicknames Born Jewish guy is b J. I hate

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it for him, but anyways, we got Jewish. Here's the

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 1>thing we've now got. We've now a lot. Got on

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that train again of just going to him like we

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the nicknames I have for these guys are their names

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:06.199

<v Speaker 1>that's right. Yes, we're going to the church world in

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a minute. Um no, But I'll tell you the story

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of how I met him. How's that? Okay? Okay, I've

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>actually never met him in person. Tonight's the first night.

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 1>never done that. I don't think so. I like, I

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I don't think I ever have really, Yeah,

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:14.080

<v Speaker 1>our guest is in the waiting room. Oh, we need

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a transition quickly. So I guess we're going to have

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to share this story eventually. It's gonna take us in

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 1>in five podcasts. When I'm over him and the date

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.480

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 1>thought the same about both of you. How is it

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that we have not just done this in actual real life?

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>And no, should we just pause it? And I'll just

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:44.920

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.800

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:10.600

<v Speaker 1>the guy goes, he goes, what do you do for fun?

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, um, and he's like really And

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.879
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I mean I have like my kids

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:23.239

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I really, like, I truly had to take a minute.

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>And I go, well, that's kind of sad. I was like,

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I honestly can't think of I mean, I like to

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>have game nights, but everyone's so busy with her kids.

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's like also she likes to pick games that

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 1>only she wins at sometimes and I'm like, can't make it. Sorry,

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not available to watch you defeat me again, right,

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you just don't know how to play, you ker. So

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just when I saw your book and like what

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.439
<v Speaker 1>it's about, I'm like, oh my goodness, Like yes, like

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>please inspire fun? Like how just like where do we

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>even start? What happened to us? Any tell us what

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>happened to us? Yeah? I mean I can tell you

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>both things. I can tell you what happened to us.

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>What happened to us is we aren't in third grade anymore? Right?

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:14.199
<v Speaker 1>And when it when when everything felt easier? And I

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.159
<v Speaker 1>use third grades of example. Someone's going to send you

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>an email and be like third grade was the worst

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:19.199
<v Speaker 1>year in my life. I'm like, no, no no, I'm not

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about third grade. I'm just saying, like, as kids,

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>this is what we did. We got home from school

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and we threw our book bags down, and after a snack,

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to play. We rushed through homework because we

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do something fun. Right. But then this thing

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>happens when you grow up and you start to know

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. And I would venture to say,

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you get to know too much the older we get

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and and we stop prioritizing fun because we think it

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is supplementary instead of primary. And and what one of

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the things I talked about a lot with my friends

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>is moving things, all sorts of things from my to

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>do list to my calendar. Because on your to do

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>like right now, on my to do list is clean

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>out two of my closets in my house. That isn't

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen on Wednesday because it's not on my Wednesday calendar, right,

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And so what's ended up happening is we have moved

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:09.640
<v Speaker 1>whereas as kids fun was on our calendar, we've moved

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it to hard to do list. Like, I mean, you'll

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>have fun when we have enough money in the bank,

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll have fun when I'm with the right partner. I'll

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:16.720
<v Speaker 1>have fun when the kids are a little bit older.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll have fun when we finally have kids. Whatever the

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>thing is, it just stays on our to do list.

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 1>And so Janna to your question of what do we do,

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you're doing it. I mean, you really did it exactly

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>right where when you run into this roadblock of what

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>do I do for fun? That is what you ask yourself,

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.200
<v Speaker 1>what do I do for fun? And that really, y'all,

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>y'all would be fascinating by this because I asked this.

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I asked people what sounds fun to them every single day,

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>and so I am talking about this all the time

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again. This random thing happens where

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>when you say what sounds fun to you and someone answers,

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>if you say why two or three times, you really

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>get to the heart of why that sounds fun to them,

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And overwhelmingly it's because of something from their child hood

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 1>or something with their grandparents. So I could cry right

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>now because I was just thinking that. I'm like, she's like,

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what sounds fun? I'm like going up north,

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like that's my childhood memories, and it's like that's where

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I have I had the most fun as a child.

0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>It's where I have the most fun as an adult.

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Like that's where I feel like I'm like the most myself.

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's like I can't go there. It's in Michigan,

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I can't you know, and it's like or the

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 1>people don't exist. So it's like, how do I then go? Yeah, exactly,

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like my grandpa just passed and so it's like

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like how do I then where? How do I

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>find that special place here? Yes? And that's like that

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>makes me sad to totally that is the journey, because

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>first of all, the only way we know this from

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that very theologically sound movie Inside Out Right. What Inside

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Out said to us is joy and suffering actually need

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to coexist for you to have the best human experience.

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>And so Janna with the example with your grandfather, which

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I saw that and I'm so sorry. I thought the

0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>singing was beautiful. I just death was. No. It was

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>never supposed to be like this, right when we go

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>back to how God made the whole planet, death wasn't

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:07.879
<v Speaker 1>at the start. And so that's why we feel it

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 1>every time, even when it's a grandparent. You think, wait,

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 1>he lived a long life, and wait, she's been here

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for you know, the Queen of England. Wait she's nine six.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>And we still feel this like this isn't right, because

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it isn't. It isn't right. And so so what you do,

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>what I think you do next, is first you tell

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 1>yourself the truth of everything. And and this is going

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to both the old question about that like everything that

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I used to experience as a kid, I cannot have again, right,

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So tell yourself the truth and grieve that we can't

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>None of the three of us can go back to

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>before we had Instagram. We can't go back to before

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>we had a phone with us all the time. I

0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>sat last night with some of my college friends for dinner,

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and we talked about how we all just showed up

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 1>on time in the early two thousand's, because what did

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we do if we were late. We couldn't text and

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 1>say we were five minutes late. So everybody just like

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>got there, right, You just got there where you're supposed

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to be there, um And so we can't go back

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 1>to all of that, but we can go back to

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>pieces of that. So, Janna, my question for you, if

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>I can fun coach you for a tell me more

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.239
<v Speaker 1>about what you love about being up there, Like what

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>did y'all do? So it was on the lake, like

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I love being on a lake. I love wake surfing

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and just being outside like I love to be outside.

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.879
<v Speaker 1>There was no no phone, like there's no service up north.

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, everything I had filmed that was, you know

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>had because I can post. It's like everything there's You're

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 1>so present with family and outside in the lake, like

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just so fun. So what let me reflect back

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to you what I'm hearing you say that that there's

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 1>something about being disconnected from what the world is asking

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of you that brings you a lot of peace and

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling like you're just allowed to be Janna without being

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Janna Cramer dot com and without having like the internet

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>attraction or anger. And so there's something sounds like that's

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>really powerful for you about being disconnected like that, and

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 1>something about the gift of water, which is really a

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>globally beautiful thing. A lot of people feel that. And

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 1>so what I would say to you, what I would

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>encourage you, is it may be worth figuring out a

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>way to turn your phone off half a day a week,

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>not for you know, you don't have to Saturday and Sunday,

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>my phone's off, but like, hey, from Sundays from two

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to four, I'm with the kids and my phone is off.

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>So if you need me, this is my address and

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you can come knock on the door. Because and as

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you start doing that, as you give yourself an hour

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe two hours, you will build a rhythm

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>that people go, hey, I can't get jan on Tuesday

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>after or on Saturday afternoons, like I can't get her

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>or on Tuesdays. Whatever, you know, like our world, our

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 1>road life makes Saturday's not Saturdays for us. But people

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 1>go like, hey, jan is just not available to me

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday afternoons. Her textra green and it's every Tuesday, right,

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:05.719
<v Speaker 1>And so there are pieces of what you loved that

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>we can still So for me, one of the things

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that I loved was sitting on the porch with my

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>grandmother and snapping green beans and none of that right right,

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like such like a childhood and you know what

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I loved about it? Tell me if you agree with this.

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But I when I when I was writing about that memory,

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the thing that stood out to me as I was

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking about nothing, and I miss thinking about nothing, and

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.479
<v Speaker 1>it's and I can't. My grandmother is not alive anymore.

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>They do not own the house where we sat on

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the porch. In fact, it's now a sunroom, so there

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>is no porch, and I don't really cook. So I'm like,

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to one end, I'm gonna look at him and be satisfied. Great.

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>So then I asked myself, well, what can I do? Well?

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I can still find some hobbies where I think about nothing.

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>So working on a puzzle, I think about nothing. I

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>just like work on a puzz I'm gonna need to

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.959
<v Speaker 1>be with you really soon, Annie Down. We have a

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of similar grandmother interest and I'm here for yes, yes,

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and so so the thing I'm going for when I

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>am searching for what we'll call fun, but what all

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 1>three of us feel in our hearts and know because

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>we're all teary about it, is it's so much deeper

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>than that. And so what we're actually going for is

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that sense of peace that we don't have anymore. And

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>so that can sometimes be tied up in a soccer match,

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that can sometimes be tied up in a jog you

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 1>go on, or a hike, or just listening to your

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>favorite record or working on a puzzle or turning your

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 1>phone off. And and as we find that thing that

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>restores our peace, the next thing that happens, Jane, to

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 1>get you excited about this continued journey is it's there's

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>a new connection with God when you go back to

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 1>where you knew him on an easier way, right, So

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>then there's this new connection and you go like, oh,

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I can hear more clearly, My heart is calmer. Oh,

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 1>now I understand that it was never about the green beans.

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>For me, it was about feeling loved by someone where

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I was totally safe and I wasn't having to take

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 1>care of myself. Someone else was taking care of me.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So God, can you tell me how you'll do that

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for me the way my grandmother did that for me? Right,

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's it is. It is always so much deeper

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>than like I love being alsoide sure, yeah, I actually

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 1>feel this. I went for yesterday. My husband and I

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>played tennis for a minute and then he did around

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>with our trainer tennis match and I was like, I

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>don't want to just sit here. And I'm we're both

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 1>from Michigan. We say that a lot, but we're Michigan proud.

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>We gotta have something because there's not a lot of um.

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I'm gonna sit on a bench,

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go. I'm gonna just run for a minute

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 1>just so I like it's when my heart matches my brain,

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it just all feels in sink. It's like very in

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>alignment for me. But I don't run as much as

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I used to bad back hashtag forty but whatever, So

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm just gonna run for as long

0:32:56.800 --> 0:32:59.680
<v Speaker 1>as I can feel like I can run, and it

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>would is actually the biggest gift I've had in a

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>long time. This will make me teary eyed, but I

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was across Country Girl, and that was the piece, the

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 1>crispy leaves, and like just the air is different, and

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>there's just something about running and hearing crunchy leaves or

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the smell of leaves that just does something. And I

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>took this run and it was the biggest gift I've

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>gotten from God in a long time. And I've been

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in this season of like homecoming is what I'm calling it,

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just there's pieces of me that are coming

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>back home and home is nowhere but like right with me,

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's been really beautiful. And I had a homecoming

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>moment yesterday and I took a video of my feet

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 1>on the leaves so that I could just play it.

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And it sent me into a place yesterday of just

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 1>like empowerment and like I don't it was such an

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>innocence and it was just also so calming and wonderful

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and empowering to remember, like that girl is still in here. Yes,

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That girl is still in here, and that

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>is that is what we are waiting for someone else

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to say to us. We are looking for the person

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>we're on a date with our our friends or our

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:09.279

<v Speaker 1>that and that we are looking for that. But I

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 1>also want to say to you, I want to really

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>celebrate you calling a season what it is because we

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>are so good at going like here comes the fall,

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.799
<v Speaker 1>here comes the winter, here comes the spring. But in

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 1>our own lives, we don't call season seasons. If something's

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>going really good, if if all of a sudden like

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>things are hitting, we just go like, man, I feel

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>so lucky versus going like I am in a season

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>of fruit from seeds I planted two years ago. I

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.720
<v Speaker 1>am a season of God giving me gifts. And so

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 1>so I want to say to you, this homecoming season

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 1>is going to give you. So it's gonna give you

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a gift at the end of it. I don't know

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what it is, but I am just so moved that

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you went like, hey, God, I'm calling this a homecoming

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>season because I already saw you doing it. Just like

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.799
<v Speaker 1>the credit she leaves, it's hot as business outside, but

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it falls coming and we know it because we see

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:08.280
<v Speaker 1>little pieces of it. You're seeing little pieces of something

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 1>God's wanting to say to you about Homecoming, and you said, hey,

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm calling it a season. I'm calling it a season.

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think God loves when we do that because

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>he goes, yeah, I know, let's go. It's you and me,

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 1>let's go. He keeps leaving bread crumb so that I

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:24.280
<v Speaker 1>can get back to myself, like I'm watching it happen,

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>like even just doing this with Jama, this is like

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.800
<v Speaker 1>an O, gim me kind of thing to do, like radio,

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:34.919
<v Speaker 1>the podcasting, like all of that. It's it's it's really like,

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying really hard not to cry on this episode

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 1>because I'm kind of like I'm like a the time

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I cry on down, but I really already have the

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 1>tears because what you're saying just makes so much sense

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 1>and it feels I hope you're journaling it. Are you

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:51.360
<v Speaker 1>journaling it as you go? I do. I write a

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 1>lot so because that to me, what saves me, and

0:35:56.520 --> 0:36:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Desert Seasons is everything I wrote. And Dessert Seasons, you know,

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>like what saves me when I can't find I can't

0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>get a light at all, and what's going on is

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>going back and going. But God showed me abundance in

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 1>my life a year ago, and he's not done with

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.799
<v Speaker 1>me yet those problems. So this season matters too. It's

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>so much easier to call a grief season a season

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>than a joy season, and so it just says it

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:22.879
<v Speaker 1>says so much about you that you called a joy

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>season a homecoming season what it is so that you

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 1>can get the gift out of it too. Question for

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>you on the other side of the homecoming season where

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>like a losing hope season and just wondering like alright, God,

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:55.360
<v Speaker 1>like I've done. I've done, I've I've I've put my

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>head and I've worked my butt off. It's like, you know,

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting help. I'm doing this. It's like when like

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:02.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, can you throw me a bone? Can

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you show me? Like I'm like, yes, I'm so grateful

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>for a B and C. And I can know that

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.360
<v Speaker 1>someone else could look at and like, oh you should

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>be so grateful I am, but also like the things

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that I've really prayed for and really just like I'm like,

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>where's where's the where's the wink, where's the bone? Where's

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the I'm like, and it's like just to sit there

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 1>and just like not wait but just like, I'm like,

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>where to know? I wish? I was like, how do

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you not just like his plan? I just sometimes I'm

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 1>just like, what give me something? I'm like a little

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like last night, I was like, just give me

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a pebble of something to like. I again, I get like,

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 1>and I'm so grateful and I stayed all the time,

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like I get like, and there was a remember if

0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you spoken in church or if Kevin did, and to

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to look at everything you do have, and I do

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 1>that every single day, and I'm so grateful. But there's

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>things that I'm like, I'm like yearning for and like

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, when is that? Will that come? Ever? I

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's God's plan? And how do you stay?

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And when you're in a season of just like kind

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:57.760
<v Speaker 1>of waiting, yes, I mean you're you're asking the questions.

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>That's so many of our friends listening and going, oh

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, me too, because what is actually true is

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>we all probably ate breakfast and we are going to

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.360
<v Speaker 1>want lunch. And some people would say you should be

0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 1>satisfied with breakfast, and you're like, but but I'm hungry again,

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.960
<v Speaker 1>right like we are wanters. It's how we're built. So

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I love Jane that you're like not shying away from

0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:22.279
<v Speaker 1>your want because I think a lot of times, what

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 1>happens in the seasons where we don't start getting answered

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>prayers the way we're predicting, or it's harder to hold

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.800
<v Speaker 1>onto hope, we start going I don't want that anyway,

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I don't want that anyway. And I

0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>think that's when our hearts hardened. And I think that's

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>why I've I've had a season one time where I went,

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm not gonna hope to get married anymore.

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna hope for kids anymore. And that'll feel

0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>so much better to stop hoping. And it felt great

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>for like a day and one half and that was it.

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like, oh, everything, when you remove hope,

0:38:54.920 --> 0:39:00.360
<v Speaker 1>everything goes a shade grayer and you don't even realize

0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it until you're like, wait, why is nothing fun? We

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 1>hope makes the heart sick? Yes, And let me tell

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you this. Okay, I just did it. I just researched

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 1>this for an advent thing we did. That word deferred

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 1>is the same word they use in the Bible when

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you're pulling an arrow. Back in a bow that your mind.

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>So it's not hope canceled, it's not hope removed. It's

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>hope pulled back like an arrow in a bow. And

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 1>so when, of course, and I know the Bible, you guys,

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:40.399
<v Speaker 1>close my money, you know there's an answer in the Bible. Well,

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that wraps up any down. There's an app that I

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 1>love called the Blue Letter Bible that you go and

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 1>you look up the original word and it tells you

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>where else it's used in the Bible. I use it

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:52.400
<v Speaker 1>all the time because I think it's fascinating because then

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you read that and you go like, oh, now, I

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:56.839
<v Speaker 1>understand why that makes my heart sick. Because when you're

0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.399
<v Speaker 1>holding an arrow back, you see a target, you know

0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 1>what you're going for, you just haven't released yet, right,

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and and there's a strength, there's a muscle thing going on,

0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a focused thing going on. So of course your

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.319
<v Speaker 1>heart feels overwhelmed by it. The second part of that

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 1>verse is a longing fulfills the tree of life. Right

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>like when you let go of that arrow, something happens.

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:20.239
<v Speaker 1>And so Janna, one of the things I'm thinking about,

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:22.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that I've decided for me is

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:24.319
<v Speaker 1>a sin, as I say a lot that I'm gonna

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:26.799
<v Speaker 1>die with hope. I'm gonna die with hope. I would

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 1>rather ask God and trust God and get because because

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>then we what we get to say when we get

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to heaven is like, that's on you, like I didn't,

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get. We got to talk about this. I'm

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>here and I brought all my hope with man. That's right,

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that's right I got, And then the laud will go.

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I love you so much, I love how you think.

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you why the story I wrote was

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>better than any story you could have ever written. And

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 1>then he'll tell us. Right, But it doesn't feel that

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:56.920
<v Speaker 1>way today for me either, Janna, because I'm like forty

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 1>two and not married yet, right, Like, this isn't the

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>story I would have proved. Yeah, I know, I know,

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 1>And so then and so then you go like, so

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I've got this choice to either say this arrow I've

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>pulled back. I'm just gonna shoot in the sky and

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>forget about it, or I am going to hold this

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 1>at that target and at some point God's gonna say

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>let go, and when I do, it's gonna hit some

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:24.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of target that's gonna matter in my life. And

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 1>if we get to heaven and the arrow is still

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>pulled back, I'm gonna be like, my muscles are tired.

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>My muscles are tired. Um. My favorite, probably my favorite

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:34.800
<v Speaker 1>person the Bible that I wish was a real person.

0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 1>But it's someone Jesus. It's one of Jesus's parables. Is

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the Persistent Widow. Do y'all know that story? Or she

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>just keeps going back? Okay, I put my Bible here

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 1>because I just thought I just may wish I had it. Um,

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>let me see if I can even look up where

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>it is really quick. But but the persistent Widow what

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 1>she does? Can you look it up for me? Craig?

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Can you google persistent Widow? Who's Craig? Annie? Yeah, they're kidding.

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna lovely I we introduced him to his wife.

0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Has one of the joys of working here as we

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:07.719
<v Speaker 1>try to help you find his spouse. Um, okay, it's

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Luke eighteen. So in this story in Luke eighteen or

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, can wind down handle straight from the Bible?

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I think so because we don't listen to the first

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes right well, I mean, what a better life

0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:25.319
<v Speaker 1>than to say we can hold laughter, joy, sorrow and

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 1>scripture altogether because we can, of course we can um

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:32.720
<v Speaker 1>so okay, So in this story of the persistent Widow,

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:36.560
<v Speaker 1>can I just read it? Okay? This is Luke eighteen

0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 1>verse one. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable. I'm

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 1>going to ball reading all this. Then Jesus told his

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:47.000
<v Speaker 1>disciples a parable to show them that they should always

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>pray and not give up. So right at the front,

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Jesus tells him the reason I'm telling you this story

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>is you should always pray and never give up. He said,

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 1>in a certain town, there was a judge who was

0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 1>neither fear who neither feared God nor care about men.

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 1>And there was a widow in that town who kept

0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>coming to him with the plea grant me justice against

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 1>my adversary. For some time he refused, but finally he

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 1>said to himself, even though I don't fear God or

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:17.120
<v Speaker 1>care about men yet, because this widow keeps bothering me,

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I will see that she gets justice so that she

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:24.520
<v Speaker 1>won't eventually wear me out with her coming. And the

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Lord said, go to that. And the Lord said, listen

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to what the unjust judge says, and will not God

0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry

0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:38.880
<v Speaker 1>out to him day and night. Will he keep putting

0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.319
<v Speaker 1>them off? I tell you he will see that they

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:45.080
<v Speaker 1>get justice and quickly, right. I mean that's and the

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:47.279
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing about that story is the judge wasn't God.

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.879
<v Speaker 1>The judge wasn't a good man. He didn't honor God.

0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So what Jesus is doing is going in this story.

0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you the guy wasn't even as good to

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you as as God is. And he changed his mind

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and he and he started acting on behalf of the

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>widow because he didn't want to be worn out. So

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you should hear me when I'm talking Lord, I'm like,

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 1>hey Lord, I'm gonna wear you for myself. Yeah, that's it,

0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and for people and for people who need healing in

0:44:13.840 --> 0:44:15.520
<v Speaker 1>their lives, and for people that I love and care

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>about it, some of our mutual friends that have really

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 1>hard stuff going on. I'm going, hey, Lord, I'm not

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna quit asking you for this. Either you're gonna change

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the story or you're gonna change what I want to pray,

0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and I trust either one. Right, So Janet, long loop

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:32.759
<v Speaker 1>back to your question about what do we do when

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.879
<v Speaker 1>we feel like we're out of hope. We just hold on.

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:39.359
<v Speaker 1>You just hold on because you know what you know

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 1>from your story, what you know from your friends stories,

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:43.959
<v Speaker 1>but in your own life is this won't last forever.

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't last forever. He is going to do a

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:51.359
<v Speaker 1>new thing and it is coming. And and so how

0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:53.839
<v Speaker 1>we want to be found with the arrow pulled back

0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:56.600
<v Speaker 1>when God says new season like he did to you, right,

0:44:56.719 --> 0:44:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Like when he says new season, you were there and

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you were crunchy leaves and ready to go. Oh and

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.239
<v Speaker 1>and so that's easy to say when we're sitting on

0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.719
<v Speaker 1>microphones in our offices and like having a good time,

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and way harder at ten o'clock tonight when we're crying

0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:09.919
<v Speaker 1>in our beds. And I get that, and that's true

0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:12.360
<v Speaker 1>for me too. But also that's when I go to sleep,

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 1>I go, we're gonna try again tomorrow, and we're gonna

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:18.480
<v Speaker 1>give it our best. But man, I just I don't

0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>want us to be the people who give up praying

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for what we want or what our people want and

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.719
<v Speaker 1>what they need from God, you know. So when it

0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:27.839
<v Speaker 1>feels like everything's fallen apart, is when we just hold

0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on and go Okay, today, I can do it. Today,

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I can ask God for the things that I'm longing

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:33.520
<v Speaker 1>for and to be the God that I hope that

0:45:33.600 --> 0:45:36.120
<v Speaker 1>he is. And they keeps saying that he is in scripture.

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean also when I'm reading the Bible, I'm saying

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 1>things like, well, you said you provide, Well you say

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>life abundant. Yeah, that's it the story. That's because if scripture,

0:45:49.239 --> 0:45:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I will read him back scriptures all the

0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>time and go in scripture, you said that you give

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 1>good gifts. And I've got friends who are waiting on

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 1>good gifts. So I'm just I know, you know the Bible. God,

0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna remind you that you say you give

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:06.000
<v Speaker 1>good gifts. Like I think praying Scripture is one of

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful things we can do. And so look

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:10.880
<v Speaker 1>up those hope verses and keep going until the story changes.

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I love that so much. And in the meantime, have fun, right,

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:19.480
<v Speaker 1>try to find moments of fun, and I feel like

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the day goes by, Like when I go hiking with

0:46:22.400 --> 0:46:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a friend or we have it's like it's the day

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.000
<v Speaker 1>feels lighter no matter what you're going through. When you

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:32.360
<v Speaker 1>actually incorporate bring in fun into your life and yes, yes,

0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:34.839
<v Speaker 1>and fun is just getting back to yourself really, So

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:37.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're full and abundant in yourself and in your

0:46:37.920 --> 0:46:41.279
<v Speaker 1>relationship with God, then usually that's when he's like, okay, you,

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:44.560
<v Speaker 1>here's a little gift. I mean, that's the wild thing

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:47.440
<v Speaker 1>about fun. And it's been funny with the devotional with

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Chase the Fun, we're we're leading a big group of

0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 1>people through it when it came out, and so we're

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.879
<v Speaker 1>in the thirties, so we're a third of the way through.

0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:57.120
<v Speaker 1>People keep saying things to me like I feel bamboozled

0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.200
<v Speaker 1>because I'm crying as I'm reading this today, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:47:00.239 --> 0:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Fun it is simple. It is we're turning back to

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:07.839
<v Speaker 1>the joy and the childhood innocence that you knew whether

0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:09.759
<v Speaker 1>you had a good childhood or not, you had moments right,

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:11.799
<v Speaker 1>you had a good teacher, you had a good day,

0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you have these there are there is innocence in us.

0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:17.239
<v Speaker 1>And so when we talk about fun and finding it,

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be it's gonna be a bigger journey than

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 1>people rise are signing up for. But you've both said

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a thing I think is interesting is connecting your physical

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:28.000
<v Speaker 1>body to your spiritual journey, going on walks, going to

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the water, going on runs, playing tennis. There is something

0:47:31.360 --> 0:47:46.880
<v Speaker 1>about that that is worth people exploring. Can you give

0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>us a little devotional that you have in the book,

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:53.200
<v Speaker 1>one of your favorite ones? Yes, hold on, because you

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:55.680
<v Speaker 1>know we read the one book. Now we got to

0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:58.440
<v Speaker 1>read your book, Chase the Fun, which is available now

0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:01.799
<v Speaker 1>everyone will get up, yes, of course. Um let me

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 1>let me look at the table of contents. I think

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Oh, I've flipped to day thirty eight. Fall

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 1>in love with being outside? How about that that one?

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Real quick? Yeah. A few years ago I started hiking

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:17.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty regularly at a place in Nashville called Radnor Lake.

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful natural park in the middle of the

0:48:20.239 --> 0:48:22.440
<v Speaker 1>city with a lake, du and hills and paths and

0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:25.680
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of wildlife. It's been a great use of

0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about an hour of my day a few days a

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:29.920
<v Speaker 1>week to go and walk at Radnor Lake, up the

0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>trails that lead to the top of the hills and

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 1>back down around the lake, getting to pass my favorite bench,

0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:37.640
<v Speaker 1>which is number ten, and then back to my car.

0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I just love being out there. And one thing that

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:42.520
<v Speaker 1>can be frustrating, but It's actually really good for me,

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 1>as you aren't allowed to run at Radnor Lake. The

0:48:45.400 --> 0:48:48.280
<v Speaker 1>short little part from the parking lot to the trail entrances,

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.399
<v Speaker 1>the part that used to be a road people could

0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 1>drive from Granny White Pike to Franklin Road. You can

0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:55.440
<v Speaker 1>run on that part, but that's it. The rest you

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:58.440
<v Speaker 1>have to walk. I don't like walking. It feels like

0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it takes too long. I'm not great at running, Honestly,

0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't run much faster than I walk, but it

0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 1>feels like I'm getting more accomplished when I'm outside, whether

0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:08.840
<v Speaker 1>it's at Radnor Lake or just walking around my neighborhood,

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I pay a lot more attention to the world when

0:49:10.640 --> 0:49:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I move a little slower. I see the geese and

0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:16.279
<v Speaker 1>their gosling's. I see the flowers that have changed since

0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the last time I was passing by. I see the

0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:21.480
<v Speaker 1>new for sales sign on my neighbor's house. And whether

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it's sunny or cloudy, or cold or rainy, warm and

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:26.800
<v Speaker 1>bright or windy, I love spending a few minutes breathing

0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:30.359
<v Speaker 1>fresh air and seeing the world move. Just yesterday, after

0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a few hours of working inside, I said to my coworker,

0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I just need to breathe outside for a couple of minutes.

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that anything was going wrong or things were bad.

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I've just been a lot of time under office lights

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and breathing office air. There's just something about getting outside

0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a short walk, a few minutes in the garden, reading

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a book on the porch a few hours by, or

0:50:51.000 --> 0:50:59.239
<v Speaker 1>thanks friends. I really could have, like really just I

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 1>had to. I'm trying my credibility back on this podcast

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.320
<v Speaker 1>because I've just I feel like I just keep weeping

0:51:07.000 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 1>so much of what she said, the arrow pulled back,

0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>growing outside just to breathe, like coming back to like

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:18.759
<v Speaker 1>our like Michigan parts that we love that who we

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:21.880
<v Speaker 1>who we are at our core, the like the the

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:24.319
<v Speaker 1>little girl and like the little girls inside of us.

0:51:24.320 --> 0:51:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But no, I mean it's really truly like she wants

0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to have fun. Every person, our little child and ourselves

0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:34.479
<v Speaker 1>wants to have fun, and we shouldn't let them have fun.

0:51:34.760 --> 0:51:38.279
<v Speaker 1>And if you have kids, that's like the best way

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to get your inner child back out. But sometimes it's

0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:45.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's it's like an easy way. It's easy way,

0:51:45.480 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 1>but also like I feel like it's it's hard to

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:52.880
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, Okay, I gotta um be responsible, responsible

0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and or not I'm responsible just like I mean, it's

0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll do laundry while they go play or all you know,

0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's like getting getting out there and like going

0:52:00.960 --> 0:52:03.879
<v Speaker 1>and like yeah, letting your letting your little inner child

0:52:03.920 --> 0:52:09.120
<v Speaker 1>play with your kids. Um. So I got a text message, Okay,

0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:13.920

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.320

<v Speaker 1>I met him, but it's now fifty three minutes, so

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:59.440

0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:03.839

0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:15.400
<v Speaker 1>really excited. But again, I don't want to get too excited.

0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:18.399
<v Speaker 1>So next week I'll be like, OK, let's pull back

0:53:18.440 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the arrow, okay, and let's just aim it and see

0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:26.839
<v Speaker 1>where it lands. Yeah, let's not. We're not gonna lose hope.

0:53:26.920 --> 0:53:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Yet he hasn't even landed and we already broke up

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:32.680
<v Speaker 1>with him. I don't need him the game, I know

0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:34.400
<v Speaker 1>he is, But wherever you are, I want you to

0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:35.959
