In the words of Daddy 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: dig you you you you can't be serious because honestly, 20 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm like I'm touching the screen as though it is touched. 21 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm literally like, why is this not responding to my touch? 22 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Because it's not my iPad, it's a freaking computer. Okay. 23 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: So anyways, it's like, you can't be serious and let 24 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: me tell you a heart of love because you know 25 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: you don't need me to tell you how much I 26 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: love you and how much I care about you, and 27 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: that you're mabou thing and that we're like this, you 28 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: and me. I'm not talking about how talking about you, 29 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: you and me, And so I don't say things to 30 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: be like like like a catchy phrase. You know what 31 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm saying this. If if I could sit 32 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: down with you and we could just talk about what 33 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: really is happening in your life, I would say, hey, 34 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: you can't be serious. You can't be serious. You might 35 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: you must not be serious. And and most of the 36 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: time it all falls under this, these kinds of scenarios. 37 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Whether it's financial mm hmmm, whether it's physical, you're you're 38 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: unsatisfied about your appearance, your health, financial speaks for itself. 39 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: You're just not satisfied. You keep hitting the same walls, 40 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: and it seems like you're just siddenly always struggling, and 41 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: you're like, ah, you know, maybe it's problems in your 42 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: your home, with your children, with your marriage, maybe it's 43 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: a problem with you and your identity. And you're like, man, like, 44 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm just not happy mentally, and there's just like so 45 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: many avenues, but it all kind of comes up in 46 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: this one little pocket. It all just trickles down to 47 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: this one little pocket. And that one little pocket is 48 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: you can't be serious. You cannot be serious. And this 49 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: is the thing. Like people want the manifestation, people want 50 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: the breakthrough, people want the miracles, people want the signs 51 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: and the wonders, and they want, you know, deliverance and 52 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: all of these things. But they're not willing to put 53 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: in the work that is required. They're not willing to 54 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: put in what's required. I know this isn't working. Is 55 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: this stream deck opening? Is it working? This might be 56 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: a new thing, And this is the problem. This is 57 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: the problem. When it comes to your constant hitting of 58 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: that wall, there just doesn't seem to be a breakthrough. 59 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: And let me tell you, in order for you to 60 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: break through, there needs to be a punch. There needs 61 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: to be a continuation of you hitting that thing, hitting 62 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: that thing, hitting that thing until it is obliterated, until 63 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: it breaks forth. Can I tell you a story. I'm 64 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. Put on. There's a lot of 65 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: things up here, OKIK. So when I was under attack 66 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: in my body, and this probably was a little bit 67 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: before COVID hit because we were in the Bridgeville office, 68 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: and uh, my body, there was things that were happening. 69 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: And this was shortly before I got pregnant, and so 70 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: it was it was an attack in my mind. It 71 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: was an attack in my body, like I could sense. 72 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: I was just full of anxiety and full of fear 73 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: for God knows what reason. And uh, I just felt 74 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: like I was under attack. So I sat down at 75 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: that little, tiny white table in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, and I 76 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: looked over because Pastor Kofi was there, and I looked 77 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: at him and I said, I need you to pray 78 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: and I need you to believe God with me to 79 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 1: get over this funk. And He's like, I just feel 80 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: like an idiot that I'm like back in this place, 81 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, because at that time, I'd seen breakthrough, I'd 82 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: seen the miracles. I've been doing things that God, you know, 83 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: call me to do, and all of a sudden, it 84 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: seemed like it just came back and it was like compounded. 85 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: And so I was like, and I don't know how 86 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: to move about this, and he said, and I was like, 87 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not going to be a hypocrite and 88 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: start talking about, you know, my deliverance and joy and 89 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: freedom and healing when I don't feel like that's happening 90 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: in my own body. To him, I said that to him, 91 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: And so I said, how can I preach on these 92 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: things when I'm undergoing the very thing that I'm speaking on. 93 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: I feel like an idiot, to be honest with you. 94 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: And he said, it's not sin to preach on the 95 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: message of truth. That's what's going to get you the deliverance. 96 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: And so he's that it's not hypocritical to believe God 97 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: for something while you're still in that situation. Yeah, you know. 98 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: And he's like, that's actually what faith is. And he said, 99 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: and what you have to understand is you don't have 100 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: to believe for something that's already in your possession. And 101 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: he looked at me and he said, you already have 102 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the freedom. And he was like, speaking to my spirit, 103 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: you already have the strength to knock that enemy down. 104 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: You've already done it, so you can do it again. 105 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: And that like ministered to me, and he's like, you know, 106 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: see this slab of drywall here. I said, what was 107 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: to happen if I just continue to punch that slab continually, 108 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: just NonStop? You know, at some point the pressure of 109 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: my fist going into that drywall is going to cause 110 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: a crumbling, a breaking down of sorts. And he says, 111 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: and that's what most people deal with. The devil is 112 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: not patient, and he doesn't stick with something very long. 113 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: He's not steadfast like we are called to be, and 114 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: so he gives up. He gives up and quits, you know. 115 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: And he's like, so if you position yourself to outlast him, 116 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: you will win. And that scripture came up is don't 117 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: don't give up, don't don't quit while doing good? What 118 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: is that scripture? Max? I forget? Do not be weary, 119 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: don't be weary. And that's how I felt. I felt tired. 120 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: I felt like I've been fighting for so long, felt tired. 121 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: Don't want to fight you doing anything at the time exactly. 122 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: That's how you know, yo, honestly though, like just perspective, 123 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: I know, really wasn't much going on. There really wasn't. 124 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: There really was. In my head there was I was like, oh, 125 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: I got this, and I got that, and I've got 126 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: this thing to take care of, and then we've got 127 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: traveling in this and bla blah blah blah. And now 128 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: what I'm doing in compared to what you know, I 129 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: feel more rejuvenated, more youthful now doing what I'm doing 130 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: the most I've ever done, because I'm I'm doing it right. 131 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm not in my head. My perspective has changed. But 132 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: he said that, and he's like, you know, if I 133 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: was to continue to punch this wall, eventually there's gonna 134 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: gonna be a breakdown of this wall. Eventually, I'm going 135 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: to have a hole in that wall in the same 136 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: place that I punched. I punched. And so he's like, 137 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: if you don't give up and quit, you will see 138 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: the breakthrough. But it's it's it's climbing over that Oh 139 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: this is so hard. It's that mindset that this is 140 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: so hard right now, And that's what it felt like. 141 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: I felt like my life was hard, My circumstances are hard, 142 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: and I am constantly fighting for the breakthrough. And now 143 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: this is compounded, and I got to fight again, and 144 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've got the fight in me. 145 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: And so he just positioned me, just repositioned, you know, 146 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: give me a little bout. Balance said, No, you already 147 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: have it. You just don't realize it yet. But your 148 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: job is to keep at it. And your job is 149 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: to be steadfast in that fight of faith and not 150 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: give up when things get hard. And so there's certain 151 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: things that happen in our lives that maybe we didn't 152 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: ask for, or outside circumstances, you know, that make life 153 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: more difficult. 154 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. 155 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't know. But what 156 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: do we do in those instances? You know? Do we 157 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: give up and quit because it's hard? And the answer 158 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: to that is, oh, no, hell no, hell no, hell no, 159 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: what the hell is wrong with you? Quit? 160 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: You're gonna go this far and quit? No, ma'am, No, No, 161 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: We've come too far for you to give up. 162 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: Now. I can't have you give up. I can't have 163 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: you give up, not today, not ever, sir, ma'am. I can't. 164 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I can't. Let's not go there, Let's not go let's 165 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: not have our minds go there. But the fact is okay, 166 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: And so I gave you this little sad story just 167 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 1: to sauce you up.

No, I actually 173 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: wanted to feel that kind of a way. I wanted 174 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: to feel salty. You did, Yeah, I did, you did. Indeed, 175 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to feel overwhelmed, you know, because I felt overwhelmed, 176 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: like legit, like I wasn't choosing anything. I feel over 177 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to live in this little world's called overwhelm 178 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: right here, this little world right here. I want to 179 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: live right here, and that's what I did. I want 180 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: to live right here with a pity party where life 181 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: is hard, you know. And I could give you sob 182 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: stories and I could tell you why I can live here, 183 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: why I belong here, But truthfully, that's not going to work. 184 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: When I'm thinking about what I want to produce in 185 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: this world. That ain't it. That ain't it. It's not 186 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: gonna take me where I want to go. You're complaining 187 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: your sad story. Your inability to pick up and go 188 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: is not going to accomplish Jack Diddley squat. It's just 189 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: not high Lady Slim. Oh, yes, you're right, So you're right. 190 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: You can't be serious. That's that's the title. You can't 191 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: be you can't be serious because if you really want breakthrough, 192 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: it took me having to let go of my feels 193 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: and come into alignment with the word of God. Yeah, 194 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying? But I just don't. 195 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't. It's really not difficult. It's just a mental 196 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: hurdle that most people just are triggered by true or 197 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 1: not true. Very everything is totally it's it's here a 198 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: Hondau persento right, So it's like and then people negate 199 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: the importance of words and write words proceed right feelings. 200 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: So it's like, you don't get the good feeling until 201 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: you check your mouth. So what's interesting and what's so 202 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: bizarre about any kind of hurdle is that the difficulty 203 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: is really only in your mind. And if you are 204 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: experiencing difficulty, it's safe to say that you have a 205 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: weak mind. I didn't want to say it. I didn't 206 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: want to say it. Damn right, you're scared. I don't 207 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: want to say it. But ultimately that's what that's that's 208 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: she said it. I didn't. So if you're gonna send 209 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: any hate mail, send it to megalas at a dollar 210 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: Shuttlesworth podcast dot com and then recognize that's not even 211 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: an email. But listen, this is the thing people want. 212 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: But see, see, this is this is the thing Max. 213 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: People say they want something, but their actions prove. I know, 214 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: I talk to you about them to be different. Every 215 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: day people say they want a happy marriage, but you 216 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: don't want a happy marriage. I'm not healthier options at McDonald's. 217 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. You want the the number one, 218 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: you just say the big Mac. What's a secret sauce. 219 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: The reality is vanilla male number one. Every single time. 220 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: You ain't gonna get the salad Drew. No, you're not, 221 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: you're not. You're Remember the salads that would come in 222 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: a cup. Those were by though I actually love those salads, 223 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: they were kind of soggy sometimes though. You know what 224 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you know what, and let me tell 225 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: you it's I think about this a lot of times. 226 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: The most miserable people are the ones that say something 227 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: different than what they are doing. Those two worlds. When 228 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: those two worlds collide and connect, when you do exactly 229 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: what you say you're gonna do, that's the that's the power. 230 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: That's the meaning of happiness. That's the power. There lies 231 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: the power is when that lines up. Because you can't 232 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: be serious. I don't believe that you're serious about wanting 233 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: a healthier marriage when you're not putting in the effort. 234 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: You can't be serious. You can't be serious. I don't 235 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: believe that you want your children to be raised in 236 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: the fear and admonition of the Lord when they go 237 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: missing from children's church for eight weeks. You can't be serious. 238 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that you really want to live healthy 239 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: because you have been at Wendy's every single day this 240 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: week with the baconator in hand. You can't be serious. 241 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: You can't be serious. You can't be serious, can't be serious. 242 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: You can't be serious. You can't be serious about really 243 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: wanting to be a man or woman of God and 244 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: live holy and righteous when you don't even go to church, 245 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: you don't even read the word. You can't be serious. 246 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: I remember get upset when I would go, like in 247 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: high school, we would like evangelize all the time, and 248 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: we would get like eleven twelve new students all the 249 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: time to come into church and stuff like that. And 250 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: there was this a couple of guys that we would 251 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: try to like witness to and girls. And it was 252 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: interesting how every single time it stuck with me still 253 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: to this day, I'm thinking about it. But I would say, hey, 254 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: how's it going, and they would say stuff like I 255 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: haven't I haven't been smoking weed. I haven't smoked in 256 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: like six weeks. And you knew that they were. They 257 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: had like they were high, you know what I'm saying. 258 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: They were just they had just recently got high. But 259 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: I remember that look and that he was trying to 260 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: convince me that he was. He hadn't gotten high, and 261 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: so he was like it was like, this is the 262 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: person that I strive to be. I'm trying. Migaw's like, 263 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be that person. Just look like understand 264 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: like he was. He was so dishonest and yet he 265 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: wanted me to believe that he was like this version 266 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: of himself that he wasn't. And how many of us 267 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: do that every single day, every single day, every single 268 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: those days are long gone for me. I'm done China. 269 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: If I if I know that I'm not going to 270 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: put in the effort, I'm not gonna be I'm not 271 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: gonna agree to it without a doubt. I won't and 272 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm not. Also, you know what I'm not gonna do 273 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: is complain about it. I'm not going to complain about 274 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: a really difficult marriage if I'm not putting up put 275 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: in the effort, if I'm not doing what's required as 276 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: a wife, you know I can't. I'm I'm not also 277 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: gonna complain about it, exactly right. So I just wish 278 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: that most people would kind of dissect that. I feel 279 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: like we talk about this every single time we're on 280 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: the podcast, but it's worth repeating and it's worth bringing 281 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: this kind of into the light because you can't be 282 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: serious about what you really want when there's no effort 283 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: and there's no work. That was part of the reason 284 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: why I started my fitness training, which we're doubling down 285 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: on soon, because you know what's happening, and I remember 286 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: able I complained. I was like, man, I can't I 287 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: don't fit into any of my clothes, and I was 288 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: just like so frustrated and ables like, when are you 289 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: going to stop talking about it? And when are you 290 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: going to actually start doing it? And I remember being like, 291 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: this is part of the reason why I'm so miserable 292 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: is because I know that I'm to do this thing 293 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: and I'm not doing it and I know better. It's like, 294 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: you know better, you know better? He is? That was rambo, 295 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: but not bad. I was like, who's that that law? 296 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: We all does that? You? So anyway, you got to 297 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: make those voices line up. I'm telling you that's the 298 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: the beginning of real happiness is when you do exactly 299 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: what you say you gon't do. And that's that is 300 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: where it's once you make up your mind, do you 301 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Once you make up your mind 302 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: on a situation that you know what, why I wish 303 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: more people would just kind of like dissect that and realize, 304 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why what are the avenues in my 305 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: life that are leading me to a place of misery? 306 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: Is it something that I can fix? You know what? 307 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: Nine times out of ten it is something that you 308 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: can fix, yes, you know, And so why not start there? 309 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: And then here's the second thing you should ought to do. 310 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: After you dissect those avenues into misery and come to 311 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: the realization that it is something that I can fix. 312 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: How about all control over? Yeah, how about now taking 313 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: initiative to rectify that situation? 314 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: Huh? 315 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: And And this is the thing. It doesn't have to 316 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: be a big ordeal. It could just start with you 317 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: walking ten minutes a day, fifteen minutes a day after 318 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: every man. I promise you, this is the way the 319 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit works. It's the steps of the righteous. Again, 320 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: we say it all the time, steps of the righteous. 321 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: It's not the leaps, it's not the jumps. In fact, 322 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Pastor Jonathan said, only Satan says, hey, Jesus leap off 323 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: of this, didn't he? Not a So the reality is 324 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: is that the Holy Spirit will give you an instruction. 325 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: And it's again nine times out of ten, it's going 326 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: to be just one little step. It's going to say 327 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: be like this, ready, ready for the sample. I'm ready apologize. 328 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't like that one anything else that's not true 329 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: that sucks, and it does. It is that elementary. It 330 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: is that because really, if you start ignoring those and 331 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: then you want you can't graduate into the bid. That's 332 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: not how life works. How life works, it's just not 333 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: You don't have to do the little, the little, tiny, 334 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, unassuming things that nobody sees. And then those 335 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: are the things that compound. Those are the things that 336 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: will radically change your life. But you don't want to 337 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: little things. You don't want to do it because you 338 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: don't feel like it. So what do you want? Oh, okay, 339 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: you can't say that. You can't say that. That's a 340 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: really bad word. Mags. You realize that, no, she doesn't. 341 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 1: It's just like, no, it is. It's a little bit 342 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: harsher than that. What I want you to see is 343 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: the definition of misery. Do you want to hear it? 344 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: It's powerful, yes, great unhappiness, extreme pain of body or mind. Boom. Okay. 345 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: Misery is as really the fruit of vice reigning in 346 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: the heart hot as tears are the produce of tears, 347 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, as tears are the produce of tears sewn 348 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: into the field. So say it one more time. Misery 349 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: is as really the vice reigning in the heart as 350 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: tears are the produce of tears sewn in the field. 351 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: So when we're talking about let's let's see that Ooh, 352 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: that's like. That's leading me loaded too, that's loaded. Mmm. 353 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Kind of seed? What can I soil? Are we dealing 354 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: with a dallas? This is it? Matthew thirteen twenty four. 355 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: What is it? What's the soil it? I'm going to 356 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: read it in the New King's James version. This is 357 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: one of the cares of the world. Another parable he 358 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: put forth to them, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven is 359 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: like a man who sows good seed in his field. 360 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tears 361 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: among the wheats, and went his way. But when the 362 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tears 363 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: also appeared. So the servant of the owner came and 364 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: said to him, sir, do you not sow good seeds 365 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: in your field? How then does this have tears? He 366 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: said to them, an enemy has done this. The servant 367 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: said to him, do you want us then to go 368 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: and gather them up? But he said no. Let's while 369 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: you gather the tears up, you also uproot the wheat 370 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. And 371 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: at the time of the harvest, I will say to 372 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: the reaper, first gather together to tears and bind them 373 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into 374 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: my barn. Amen. That's interesting that it would. It would 375 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: liken the misery aspect to the tears being sown, because 376 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: really you've got to recognize the enemies sent to destroy you. 377 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: And at times the enemy is not what you think 378 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: it is. The enemy isn't a demon like a goblin demon. 379 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: You know, we're getting ready to go into October and 380 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: Halloween and most people are looking at demons and oh 381 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: like ghosts and goblins and all that kind of stuff. 382 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: But the enemy to greatness is this. It's these mindsets 383 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: that will absolutely cripple production in your life. And so 384 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: if you allow yourself to permeate, I won't say PerMIATE, 385 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: if you allow your your minds to marinade, in in 386 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: in bitterness, in complaining. I was just we're coming out 387 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: with the series in our children's church about their character 388 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: building things. And if you don't know, we have the 389 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: Mighty Series, which is a book for children in regards 390 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: to God's Word. But we're doing we're launching all kinds 391 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: of things shortly. But with this we have our Revival Today, 392 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: Kid Revival Today, Mighty kids, and we do lessons based 393 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: on character building and all that kind of stuff, which 394 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: you can find on YouTube for free. And one of 395 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: the things that we're talking about in the month of 396 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: October is these character building things. And if we can 397 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: impart these things into our children, by the time they're 398 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: our age, they don't have to put up with this 399 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: kind of nonsense, because it's very important what you think about. Complaining, whining, 400 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: being lazy, all of these things. You gotta put away, 401 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: all of those child the childish meant mindsets. I'm I'm 402 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm hurt, I'm tired. I can't do that. It is 403 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: it's all. You can see the immaturity from a mile away. 404 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: Yet you want and know and this is the thing, 405 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump would say with his hands, this is 406 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: the thing. Then they get. Then they start hating on 407 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: people who are activating it the right way, and they're 408 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: constantly complaining, and they're constantly criticizing, and they're constantly comparing 409 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: themselves to other people, and instead of it being ammunition 410 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,239 Speaker 1: to really go after the things that the Lord has 411 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: promised in his word, they actually the guns turn to 412 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: them in pro cuckoo and the it's just like they're 413 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: they're they're they're destroying themselves in the process. It's awful. 414 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: And so I want you to see Matthew six thirty three, 415 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: but seek, aim at, and strive after. See, seeking isn't 416 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: just going to church every now and again and hoping 417 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: that you have the attention span to retain the message 418 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: that's coming forth from Prester Jonathan or whoever's up there. Yeah, 419 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: that's not seeking. When we talk about seek, hunt each 420 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: says hunt eagerly, Hunt eagerly. I am no longer just 421 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: like seeking. I'm just here. Just that you are zeroed in, 422 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: you're striving after that. That takes effort to go after 423 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: something with straining. I am straining to receive something because 424 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: I am so sick of my current condition. And to me, 425 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: there's nothing more repulsive than somebody who just complains about life. 426 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: And to the Lord too, he hates complainers. It's awful. 427 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: So what do we do? We strive after all his 428 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: kingdom and his righteousness, his way of doing and being right, 429 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: and then all things taken together will be given you. Besides, 430 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: that's a crazy transition. All things will we added unto you, 431 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: All things shall be added unto you. But see, this 432 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: is the thing. Most people they don't want to do it. 433 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: It's just not serious enough. You can't be serious. I'm 434 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: part of this group and it's a it's a business thing, right, 435 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: And he says, I've seen you, guys, I troll you. 436 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: I've got a crew of people watching you.

Let me tell you the four things 492 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: that I'm trying to train this next generation because some 493 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: of you guys are so hardheaded that it's going to 494 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: bypass you. That's something that I've already learned, you know 495 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh so it's like why And that's 496 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: why I really do believe that our focus, my focus, 497 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: a big chunk of of what I do and teach 498 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: is geared to children. Yes, because at that age you 499 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: can get them there, that's it. So but then after 500 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: a while it's you grow callous, You grow callous, you 501 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: just the and and when I say upset, it's like 502 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: it's cemented. There's you had a time to move up 503 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: out of the situation, but because you didn't, it is 504 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: now cemented. And so you try to take your feet 505 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: out of that cement. It's now it's gonna take and 506 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: now it's gonna And this is the thing. Why wait 507 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: till there's chaos, Why wait till there's crisis, Why wait 508 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: till there's tears? Why wait when you can you can 509 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: check your soil now in that right, And that's it, 510 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: And that's what, that's what. Really I've got four points 511 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to character building that I'm emphasizing on 512 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: with the children. The first one is quit lying, quit lying, 513 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: quit lying, you know, but more importantly, most we say, 514 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: we say lying to yourself that this is a basic thing. 515 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: And I haven't really heard any preaching online, do you 516 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? But like you lie about situations 517 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: all the time. When your husband says everything all right, 518 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: you say, Okay, I'm fine. You're not fine. And you're 519 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: not aiding and solving the problem. You're avoiding it. You're 520 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: sweeping it under the rug. And then all of a sudden, 521 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: fifteen years of doing that, the volcano erupts. Oh help us, 522 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: and now you're cemented in there because you refuse to 523 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: be honest the second one, or be honest with yourself 524 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: about so many other things. Okay, oh well, my knee 525 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: hurts and I haven't gotten healed because of that, and 526 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering why the Lord won't heal my knee. 527 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: You're overweight, You're two hundred pounds overweight, Cindy, Oh my god, 528 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: that was specific. Sinny, No, like that was enough enough 529 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: with the nonsen honest with yourself, Be honest yourself. The 530 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: reason why your knee hurts is because you are you are. 531 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: You ate yourself into a scooter. That's it, she said 532 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: it you ate yourself into a scooter. You can undo that. 533 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: You can't do it. I was walking out, I was 534 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: driving to Angie's, and there was there was a mother 535 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: and daughter, and they looked like the exact same human being, 536 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: both equally overweight. One of them was injured, the mother 537 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: you could tell, was injured, and then the daughter, which 538 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: was like a teenager, was equally overweight. They literally looked 539 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: like a copy and paste and it crushed my heart. 540 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: I was like, here's this this mother who should be 541 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: full of life, who should be having fun with her 542 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: teenage daughter, and her teenage daughter is in the middle 543 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: of a school day having to take her mother to 544 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: the walk in clinic to help her with her whatever 545 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: her ailing leg. It looked like she was like wobbling 546 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: and hopping. That's not that's not the life. That's not 547 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: living life life. You're not you. We could do better, 548 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: you could do better. I can do better. I know, 549 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: I definitely can do better, you know, And it's just 550 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: coming to that reality that like you're lazy and that's okay, 551 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: let's let's get over it. But the more you can 552 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: call a spade of spade, the better you the more 553 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: honest you are with you're going to solve, the more 554 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: of the problem you're going to solve. So you are 555 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: living in freedom because really truth brings about freedom. So 556 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: you're living in bondage because you're not real about the situation. 557 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: I wish you could just be real about it, talk 558 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: about it, expose it, be vulnerable. That's what love does. 559 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: And it shows that you're vulnerable and you're ready to 560 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: expose and bear all. That's what I mean. Here's the 561 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: thing when you have nothing. You know, when Jesus said 562 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: the Satan has nothing inside me, he can't come after it, 563 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: he has nothing in me. It's like that's part of 564 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: the nicety of being clear and concise and transparent and 565 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: being true to yourself. It's like, okay, you know you 566 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: can see things for what they really are because it's 567 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 1: just like I'm not playing games. And if you can 568 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: learn that now, don't lie. Don't complain. That's another one. 569 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: Don't lie, don't complain. That's your mood swings. Check your 570 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: mood swings. I brought canaan Abel up in this piece. 571 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: What was the last one? Don't lie, don't complain. Oh, 572 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: and don't be lazy. All of those things are like 573 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: a core thing that and I'm seeing it in like 574 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: grown men and women like if we can fight this 575 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: now when you're this age, and we can like instill 576 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: in you the spirit of excellence and truth, we're going high. Johnny. 577 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: You should give you a little on how to how 578 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: to overcome each one. Let's start first with don't lie. 579 00:37:53,800 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: Don't lie, literally, don't So it's funny because I isolating 580 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: something that you've been lying about, and then speak the 581 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: truth about that something that you've been lying to yourself about. 582 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: It automatically it's shed light, shed light to that bib 583 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: bur rating. And again it's the little things, right, it's 584 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: the little. If you can't if you can't do it 585 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: in the little, how are you expected to do it 586 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: in the big? You can't know. It's like it wasn't 587 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: work with the little, You're gonna do with the big 588 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: without a doubt. That's all. So, if you're not going 589 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: to be truthful to your own self, how do you 590 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: want a marriage to thrive? How do you want to 591 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: be excellent in your home and in your business? If 592 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: you're taking corners, you're being lazy. You don't carry a 593 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: spirit of excellence. These are all things that we got 594 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: to reflect on, dissect and say, you know what I 595 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: could do better? I could do more. I can take 596 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: this a little bit more seriously because I'm not yeah 597 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 1: so quick playing games. But I as I was telling 598 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: little Johnny the Puppet, you know, because John Formby does it, 599 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: and we're just we never have anything scripted. I just say, hey, 600 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: this is where I'm taking it. Go flow, you know whatever. 601 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: He's so good, and so I said, but just so 602 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, I am bringing Anonius, Annius and Spire right 603 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: in there. And he goes, oh my god. So he's saying, like, 604 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, one of his school friends lied and now 605 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: he's asking him to cover it up with a lie, 606 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. And so I was like, let me 607 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: tell you a little story. And then he goes, oh, man, 608 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: so they got in a lot of trouble and I 609 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 1: was like hmmm, and he goes, did they get paddled? 610 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: He's to like going AND's like, did they get grounded? 611 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: And I was like, no, he dropped dead, you know. 612 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: And he's like, I don't want to die. I never lie. 613 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to die. I was like, listen, but 614 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: you know what what I should have said is there 615 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: is a part of you that dies when you lie. Yeah, 616 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: there's this this this fake, this false reality that you 617 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: live in that is causing you to live a life 618 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: of defeat and death, and it's that's not the life 619 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: for you. So just be real, you know, just just 620 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: be real with yourself. What see? And this is the thing. 621 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: If you can't come up with a solution, then you 622 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: don't really want it. If if you can sit down 623 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: and say, I'm happy, I'm unhappy about my work flow, 624 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: I'm unhappy with my marriage, I'm unhappy with what I'm 625 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I think that most people, let's dispect 626 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: that some more. I don't know why they're miserable. What 627 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: is it? They always think that it's something some outside 628 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: force that's making them miserable. Oh, my mass doesn't see 629 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: what I'm doing, So I'm I'm upset. You're helping us. 630 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: And this is the reason why. It's because my husband 631 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: doesn't show me appreciation. It's because I'm not married. It's 632 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: because I don't have children, It's because I don't have 633 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: a house, it's because I don't want And then when 634 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: they have a house, and then when they have kids, 635 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: there's so when they have a miserable they're still they're 636 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: still miserable still because it's it's it's a spiritual thing. 637 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: But you got to get alone with the holy ghosts, 638 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: just you and him, and you have to say, show 639 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: me perfect my heart, purify right spirit within me, that's right, 640 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,240 Speaker 1: clean out my heart. Let me tell you, one hundred 641 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: percent of the times you're going to get an answer 642 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: that you never thought was the source of it. True, true, 643 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: it's just like, okay, you know what, bring it back down. 644 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: But if that there's an action to it, every time, 645 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be an It's like it's going to 646 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: you didn't give is required back in two thousand and six. 647 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: Something is required, Something is required, And let me tell 648 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: you you can't if you want change, if you want happiness, 649 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: and you are going through the same old, same old, 650 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: year after year after year, and then you continue to 651 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 1: do the same things over and over again. It's insane, lunacy. 652 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: You're you're a lunatic, and take that because we love 653 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: you so much. But somebody has to tell you that 654 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: your looney tunes, Honda. That's the reason why I can 655 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: say that you've been there on Hondo because it's like, 656 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: that's a definition of inseniting doing the same thing over 657 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: and over again and then expecting a different result. That's 658 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: not that's not a lifetime. That's why. The more that 659 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: you can perfect being uncomfortable and taking on things that 660 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: challenge you, the more that's the growth process. Yes, that's 661 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: what it looks like to grow. Not being comfortable. You're 662 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: not comfortable. You better be shaking in your boots, shaking 663 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: in your boots, because there has to be something that 664 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: pushes you in order to grow. And if you're not, 665 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: then you're losing. You're dying. You you're dying if you're 666 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: not learning, if you're not continually building something, there is 667 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: a rot. You are literally dying. You are slowly you 668 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: quit learning, you quit challenging yourself. You know, one of 669 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: the things about muscle building is you got to do 670 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: new things muscle confusion so that it continues to build. 671 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: At you, Dallas, I know, thank you you. But all 672 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: of that stuff comes with discipline that comes with much 673 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: use of that muscle. Yeah, so it just doesn't come 674 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: and I think people in their delusion feel like I'm 675 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: not there because it comes so easy. It didn't come easy. 676 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: This wasn't easy for us. No, this was hillaciously awkward. 677 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: I wish we had a clip of the very first 678 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: time I had to introduce myself and how many takes 679 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: it took. How about remember when pastor Pastor Johnathan, pastor 680 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: Max had us record just scripture, you know, scripture for 681 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: like some montage that he later created or whatever about 682 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: youth group, and all we were tasked to do was 683 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: read a scripture. Couldn't do it? Could it do? I not? 684 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: Yea of one one one second of the stuff that 685 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: we were audishing out. It was so bad, so cringe, 686 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: so cringe. So yeah, no you do. And then eventually 687 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: you get comfortable with that, and then you need more 688 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: than That's it to make you uncomfortable in order to continue. 689 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: When you have that loser mindset, you're looking at other 690 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: people and saying that comes an easy thing, must be 691 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: nice when you it's like, no, they put in the effort, 692 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: they put in the work, they put in the discipline, 693 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,280 Speaker 1: and now they have a return of investment. You have nothing, 694 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: and now you get nothing. Do you know what? It's 695 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: It's just really that simple. And so but get down 696 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: to it. And that's your homework assignment as we close 697 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 1: up today, is what are the three things that you 698 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: are not happy about in your life? And how can 699 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: you fix them. And if the answer is I don't 700 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: have an answer, then you're not. You can't be serious. 701 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: Ah that's great. You can't be serious out great the 702 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: change that's great. Can't be serious. So by so continue 703 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: to be miserable and continue to push people away, because 704 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. Misery will attract you to other 705 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: miserable person, but it'll also uh push you away from 706 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: good quality people, no doubt. People that are effective are 707 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: not gonna want to be around somebody that's complaining and 708 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: whining and miserable. No way. I know. I know that, 709 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: No way, no way. I know that face. Everybody here 710 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: knows that face. You see someone who's miserable, and that's it. 711 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm running I can. I will avoid you at all costs, 712 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: same I will. You know what I would do? I 713 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,919 Speaker 1: would I would start doing the breakdance. If I see 714 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: somebody coming towards me, I will break dance and roll 715 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: up the other way. I don't care how drastic and 716 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: how dramatic it might be. If I know that you're 717 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: gonna damp in my mood, I will drop down, do 718 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: the worm all the way in my car. Whoop, I'm 719 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: getting away from this person because I ain't got time. 720 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: I will boom boom boom all the way to my 721 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: car because I protect that, I protect myself. I got 722 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 1: enough negativity going in here. Don't need it from out here. 723 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: Walp on you. Anyways, They're not looking for a solution, 724 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: they don't. They just want they want to blow off 725 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: some steam, say a louder for the people in the bad. 726 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: That's it. They're not trying to get a they're not 727 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: trying to get any They don't care. So if you 728 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: don't care, I don't care. Believe me alone. I'm trying 729 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: to live my best life out here. Okay, we're trying 730 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: to put in a good healthy work and uh listen. 731 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,760 Speaker 1: The other day we started pilates, talking about doing challenging 732 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: things and things that maybe I got a little bit 733 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,320 Speaker 1: too comfortable in my workout games, so I tried pilates. 734 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: This was literally one of the just the worst days 735 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: of my life, and it really was. Then the lady 736 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 1: next to me starts she must have had Greek food. 737 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,399 Speaker 1: I smelled feta, I smell well, all sorts of things. 738 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. When I was doing my 739 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: other workout, I never had once this problem, not what 740 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: And I went into Pilate's now three times and each 741 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: time somebody's burping, somebody's farting. I'm not playing. I think 742 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: it might be you because I've been and I'm nothing, 743 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I wonder why. It's just like I 744 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't get it. Is that your story? Yeah? 745 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean? And also the workout wasn't very challenging. All 746 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 1: the girls were like, oh, this is so hard, Okay, 747 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go and and internh, I think I'm 748 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: gonna start doing class. You are absolutely full of crap, 749 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: because after that first one you were yeah. Two days later, 750 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: I was like, I sneezed and I thought I saw Jesus. 751 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: But then gual But it was like, so Guale, that 752 00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: was it, you know. And then I really tried. I 753 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: really tried live. No, you didn't. It's just not for me. 754 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I think I'll try it for like a 755 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: solid month. I think you should try it for that. 756 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: That would be the the the less. You know, they 757 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 1: were doing triceeps and they're like for more challenging work. 758 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: I tried all of the challenges. No, you haven't done 759 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: it right. It's because your form is terrible. How about 760 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,879 Speaker 1: that you couldn't have getten gotten up better than In fact, 761 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: she actually tapped me and said you can have excellent form. No, 762 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: I don't think she did so. She said she told 763 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: me that too. Said, no, she didn't tell you that. 764 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: And listen, don't lie to yourself. You gotta do this, 765 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: and it's not this like you're used to. It's it's this. 766 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm used to heavyweights. I'm used to doing triceep workouts 767 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: with a twenty five pound I'm not used to doing 768 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: little straps, elastic bands. Oh, get out or get over yourself, mags, 769 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: elastic bands, whatever. And in a year's time, problem Olivia 770 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: come up here looking like wonder woman. Then then you 771 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: can the complain. Keep complaining. We're gonna see. What I'm 772 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 1: saying is that I tried something new, and I'm going 773 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: to continue to try something new until I'm wowed. No, 774 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 1: We're going to continue on this pilates class until it's 775 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: like a straight up no, because right now you can't 776 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 1: just make up your mind. I literally said I was 777 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 1: going to try a new instructor and then I would 778 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,879 Speaker 1: make up my mind. Try you should try two more 779 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: instructures and then and then come to that conclusion. But 780 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: until then, I think that that's not right. I think 781 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 1: that's your an easy way out, so boring, Matthew. It's 782 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: like the worst. You wouldn't even be able to do 783 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: it anyway to do it because anyone with a pulse 784 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: could do it. That's not true. What is this right here? 785 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 1: This hurts so bad? Shouldiers trap trap? Thank you Father, 786 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I pray that you would 787 00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: come vict mcallis and she just writes it off way 788 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: too easily, And I don't think that's right. Okay, you 789 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: can't use somebody, pastor, Pastor Sallie. Will you do CrossFit 790 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 1: with me? Maybe we could try. I'm gonna come against it. 791 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: If I tried pilates, then you gotta try some confusion. 792 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: There's a finger I want to give you, but I'm 793 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: not going to do it because you've got to try 794 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: hard things. You're talking your audience about trying hard things. 795 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: But now the spirit of confusion, I break it off 796 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 1: of the people that are around me because we shall 797 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 1: do no such things. I got a hundred things I'm 798 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: gonna do. CrossFit ain't one of them.
