00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: is your Encounter album. It is so good.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: I'm blessing you can't see it through the black skin.

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: I'm really red right now. It's so good.

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: So it had me in a choke hold for months now.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: The neu Maveric City album that you're on has be

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: a choke hold, but I guess everything you touched just you.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: Know, it's Jesus.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful for that product, the Counter Projects, So

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: super grateful. The episode is called Encounter, but that was

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: legitimately you ever do so I'm sure you've you've written

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: something or had an episode or that was like you knew,

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: like this one is like nobody had to tell you,

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: nobody had to affirm confirm. You were like, I know

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: that that's it. And that's how I felt when we

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: left that recording that night. I literally walked behind the

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: stage and was just crying. I was like, yeah, that's

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: the best thing I've ever done.

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: It was my life insane. When you're listening to it,

39
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: you feel like you're at the live record.

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was a goal from from the mix

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: to how we produced it. I wanted people to feel

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: like they were in the room. I wanted them to

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: feel like they were a part of the encounter. So

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful, Like legitimately, I was talking to somebody yesterday.

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: The record a.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Year old as of two weeks ago, and it's still

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: on the charts. Amazing.

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: So nothing, nothing but guy, so I only start to

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: show off with a code or a song. And since

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I have a singer here.

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna sing together. That's crazy.

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: One of my that's wild, and I see that in

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: the notes.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that well, I can tell you. One

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs is actually work out to this song,

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: work out the whole album.

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: You say you work out. I've never seen you work out.

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: We see pictures of waits, we see pictures of treadmills.

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: No one has ever seen you like going. But that's

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: another conversation.

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Always give your heart. Are you really working out?

62
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: Have you moved today, ma'am?

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: But go ahead.

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: One of my favorite songs is he Won't Fail, written

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: by you, my good brother, Chandler Moore, and somebody else.

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember who else is on there, but I

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: did double check to make sure that.

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I got from Detroit. His name escapes me right now.

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: He actually James, last name James. He broke this.

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: I I went to a concert he.

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Had just legitimately like that week He's like, man, I

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: wrote this little hook, guys, Can I just sing it

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: for you guys? And he was like, he won't feel,

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: he won't feel, he won't leave you, no, he won't feel.

75
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: I was like the whole role. I was like, bro,

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: he just those lines. I was like, he's a man.

77
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: I don't have anything else with the song, but I

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: just wrote it. I said, I'm taking that from him.

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Come on, you got it.

80
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: Even you can give it to Geez. You gotta get

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the album the rest of it.

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: That's that's every night when I when I do a concert,

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: I look forward like it has never gotten old. Like

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: there are some certain songs you're like, Okay, I'm saying

85
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 2: this again, but that song is like what I know

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: it's going to take place. When we start declaring that

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: over the room and in the room, it's always it's

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: like yo, like God, just number one, you see people's

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: faith beginning to rise, like literally like, oh no, God

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: won't fail me. I know what I'm in doesn't look good,

91
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel good, but I have this truth that

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: if he said it, he has God enough to bring

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: it to pass.

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: Unless like, yo, no, he won't fail me.

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: I know everything about my situation is saying that I'm feeling.

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: But when you begin to declare these words, it's like,

97
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: you know what, I've seen God do it before, and

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: if he did it before, then he's got enough to

99
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: do it again, so I know he won't fail.

100
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: Period.

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: That's so good. I recently started, like really diving into

102
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: the Bible and making an intentional effort to read it

103
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: all the way through because I ain't done it, but

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing it now. That's dope, you know, because I

105
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: always tell people, once you get to like numbers and judges,

106
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: someone like how many more names I have to read?

107
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: And I just get to the devotional, you're going through

108
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: a lot of names that most people can't pronounce right exactly.

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: So that was always my stopping point when I would

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: start to try to read the Bible. But one thing

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm noticing now is I'm reading it everything God promised

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: the people in the Bible, no matter what they did,

113
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: no matter how they deviated from his instructions, he still

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: did what he said he was gonna do.

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: It's consistent.

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: And I think one of our biggest problems is that

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: we box God. Not intentionally, but we put him in

118
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: this box because of how we've been treated by people,

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: of how we've been let down by people who we

120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: thought loved us or who we thought would never leave us.

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: So who we thought would always be in our lives,

122
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, they're not there anymore. And so

123
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: we put this thing on God. It's like, Okay, we

124
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: know you God, but and then we look at ourselves

125
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: and how jacked up and messed up we could be.

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: So it's like, it almost makes sense for you not

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: to come through for me. It almost makes sense for

128
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: you not to open the door. It almost makes sense

129
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: for you to let my life just fall apart because

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: of who I am. And then when I add how

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: other people have treated me in the process. So it's

132
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: like we boxed God into this thing where we put

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: human characteristics on him and He's like, no, let's establish this.

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: I am not like man, Hello, I don't change. I

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: am the same today, yesterday, today, and forever more. And

136
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: so it's like, Yo, once you understand that, Yo, if

137
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: he said it, then no matter how much you can

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: mess it up in the middle, you know what I'm saying,

139
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: He has this amazing way of making all things work

140
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: together for the good of them that love God. So

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: it's like, Yo, it's like, no matter where you are, like,

142
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: you got to let your past go, let the dumb

143
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: stuff you've done though, and understand God is not like man.

144
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't operate like operate like man. He doesn't move

145
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: like man. Is God he is, so just let him

146
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: be him. Your job is not to mess it up.

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, don't get don't get tired of doing good.

148
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: Be not wearying well doing for inducing you're gonna reap.

149
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: Don't get tired of doing good.

150
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Keep doing the right thing, but right right things.

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, because people keep trying be like, all right now,

152
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: how many time lot supposed to keep doing good? And

153
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: y'all keep trying me.

154
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: Right, No, No, that happens. But it's like, yo, you

155
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't. You can't like let other people dictate, especially

156
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: when you have vision, you have gold, and you know

157
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: where you're going. You cannot allow other people to dictate,

158
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: like to mess up what God is doing in your life.

159
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: So it's like, yo, you keep trying me. I may

160
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: and I may blow it and give you the response

161
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: that you deserve. Right, But I'm glad that He makes

162
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: all things work together for the good of them.

163
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Who love it. I love it for the people who

164
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: do not know Todder. You are a songwriter, gospel artist,

165
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: praising worship leader, and actor.

166
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: I didn't don't, I don't like to bring that up

167
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: around you, but it's you know now, I did a

168
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: few little chitling circuit plays back in the day.

169
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: That's how. That's actually how I got started. Awesome, Like

170
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't I used to.

171
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: I was leading worship at a little Pentecostal church like

172
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 2: forty members, and I got a call a friend of

173
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: mine was like playing drums in a play. I can't

174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: remember the guy's name. He was like, yo, a background

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: singer got sick. Would you you want to come? How

176
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: much you're paying? You told me how they were paying.

177
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, sign me up. I'm on the

178
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: way right And I started and started singing background. I

179
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: think this play was called what was it.

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 3: If Loving You was wrong?

181
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's the very I think. And I

182
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: was in the background and the main character, the main guy,

183
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 2: got sick wow and couldn't do a show. And it

184
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: was like, yo, you've seen this show. You've been the

185
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: here sing this show. That was like, yo, we want

186
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: you on stage. I was like, huh did we want

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: you on stage? I was like okay, got on stage

188
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: and did it and did it and stayed on stage.

189
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: But I did it for like two maybe like three years.

190
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Wow, so you got a big mother acting bug. Did

191
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: you enjoy it?

192
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: I loved it. I just didn't like some of the

193
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: stuff that came with it. I want to be better

194
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: careful what I just said. Yeah, I just didn't like

195
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: I didn't like some of the stuff that I couldn't

196
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: control that came with it. But being on stage, watching

197
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: people laugh, watching people cry, being able to sing and

198
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: just and it was one of those gifts I didn't

199
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: know I had until I did it right. I was like,

200
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm not too shabby. Hopefully you don't have any b

201
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: roll rolling them circuit. But I loved it though, just

202
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: being you know, having the opportunity to express more of

203
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: who I am authentically and that vein.

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: Was really cool.

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: That amazing. I love that. And that's the way that

206
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: God made room for you.

207
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I actually posted this today.

208
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: I was like, my life is just so it's so

209
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: weird and amazing because every door that I've walked through

210
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 2: was not a door that I was going after legitimately.

211
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: Legitimately I was because I was talking to worship leaders.

212
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, I said, every door that God

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: has opened for me has come through serving serving somebody else,

214
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: like every major opportunity, and so it was like the

215
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: door didn't present itself until I was doing the thing

216
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: that I was doing naturally, not chasing after something, and

217
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: from me from the posture of my heart and just

218
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: from me serving at my local church or serving somebody

219
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: else's vision. God always opened the door. I told him,

220
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: I said, I'm the living scripture of your gift. Will

221
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: make room for you. Yeah, because every opportunity that I've gotten,

222
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 2: it didn't exist before I showed up. Legit, you know

223
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: what we're talking about the place. There was an opportunity

224
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: for me to be on stage until it happened. Like

225
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: even the jobs and opportunities to meet and write, those

226
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: opportunities did not exist until I showed up. And when

227
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: I showed up, God opened the door. God created room, right, Yeah,

228
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: He created an opportunity that did not exist before I

229
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: got there.

230
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: And like that's my whole life.

231
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: So I'm like, yo, people ask me all the time,

232
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: what's the secret sauce, I'm like serving servant. I know

233
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: it feels a little anti climatic, it's not, but it's like, yo,

234
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: I've been faithful and I properly cared for somebody else's

235
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: stuff the way I would if it.

236
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: Was my own.

237
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: I properly cared for somebody else's stuff, for somebody else's

238
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: vision as if it was my own. And I believe

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: from that posture, God has been like over the top

240
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: faithful to create opportunities for me to do.

241
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: I'll tell people all the time, I won.

242
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: I won. I'm a little country boy from rapful nor

243
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: because I'm from the sticks. I'm from the sticks, and

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: what looking at what God has done in my life,

245
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, I want And that's why for me, it's

246
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: like I'm so grateful and appreciative for every opportunity because

247
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: I know the truth, I know the rated R version,

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: I know how faithful God has been, and so every

249
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: open door, every platform, every opportunity, I'm like, yo, I'm

250
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: coming in low and I'm coming in grateful because I

251
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: know it's the Lord's opportunity, it's the Lord's platform, and

252
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: he was just opening his door for me.

253
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: That is so awesome. When I think of your album

254
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: and titled Encounter, when was like the first time tied

255
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: encounter god.

256
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: Man probably at a revival at Problems, a little little

257
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: sto revival in Rayferd North, Carolina Mount Sinai Church.

258
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: I'll never get Bishop Kelly, Bishop Benny L. Kelly was

259
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: preaching at this revival at my church. And I'll never

260
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: get that night as long as I live, because it

261
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: was like it's coming to church. I'm a church kid,

262
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: I a church It's like just going to church, going

263
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: to church, and I never get I think.

264
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: It was a Thursday night.

265
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: And when I tell you all I do, all I

266
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: know is I remember waking up in a corner in

267
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: a fetal position, broken and crying and screaming. But that

268
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: night changed my life. That's sixteen years old. Wow, sixteen

269
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: years old.

270
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: That night.

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: Just like drastically changed my life and my viewpoint of

272
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: Like he stopped being the God of my mother, the

273
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: God of my father, and he became my God that night. Wow,

274
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And that's why I'm so

275
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: passionate about leading people in encounters with Jesus, because religion

276
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: will not change you. Religion can help you be more organized,

277
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: religion can give you some moral principles, but religion cannot

278
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: change you, and Jesus can change you. And encounter with

279
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: God has the ability to change the trajectory of your life.

280
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: So That's why I'm like, yo, that's why I go hard.

281
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: That's why I don't play. I take it so serious

282
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: because I know that this may be somebody's only chance

283
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: for that encounter. This may be the Sunday that somebody

284
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: invited their brother who have been praying for for years

285
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: to come to church. This may be the Sunday the

286
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: mother that's been praying for her son to show up

287
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: and pay for him to come to a concert that

288
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm at, and he finally made it a decision to come.

289
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: And so how do I approach that moment? I'm like, no,

290
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: I have to go hard because this may be their

291
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: only shot. And I'm like, yo, I'll tell people I'm

292
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: a middleman. I'm pulling people up. I'm pulling God down

293
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: to create this encounter in the middle. That's it's like

294
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: the wicked, the quicker. I get myself out of the way,

295
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: get past what I got on, Get past how get

296
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: past all that? And like, yo, how quickly can I

297
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: get you into the presence of God so that he

298
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: can be exactly what you need him to be in

299
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: that moment.

300
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Toded, you definitely have a mansle over

301
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: your life. You are anointed. Literally, there's one Sunday, someone

302
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: else has started praising worship and then all we heard

303
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: is your voice on the microphone and it was just

304
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: like a the whole energy just shifted. You know what

305
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You have that effect where and I know

306
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: it's nothing God like, it's not you, but God uses

307
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: you and it's definitely something that immediately shifts the atmosphere

308
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: when you tap in with that.

309
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't say this arrogantly at all, but I'm so

310
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: grateful that And people say, what like you hear people

00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about your voice because

313
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: because number one, I'm telling you right now, I do it.

314
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: People think I say this for people to be like, no,

315
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: yes you are. I do not think I'm a really

316
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: good singer. I'm like, yo, No, I don't think I'm

317

Speaker 2: a great I say that you sing way better than me,

318
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: but I do not think I'm a great singer. And

319
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: I know the thing that I have confidence in is

320
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: that I know God's hand is all my life and

321
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: I know that he has anointed me to do what

322
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: and the anointing is like it's back on him. It's

323
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: like He's given me this ability to do something that

324
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't normally do on my own strength.

325
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: And it's so you say, you've been clo saying God

326
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: is looking for a worse for not a song. A

327
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: worship does not need a song. A song always needs

328
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: a worshiper, does.

329
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: Not need a song, but the song needs a worshiper.

330
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, God, God is not looking for singers.

331
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: Those who will sing, that's who I'm after. No, He's

332
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: looking for a worship They that will worship me in

333
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: spirit and in truth, not singing in spiriting true, not

334
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: dance in spirit worship me. So it's not he's not

335
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: after a song. He's after a worshiper. And a worshiper

336
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: doesn't need a song. You may not know a song,

337
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: but you can open your mouth and open up your

338
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: heart in a way that you can. You can sing

339
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: lyrics to God that will never go on a piece

340
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: of paper or never maybe be on a song on

341

Speaker 2: you are, show up in a way that would be

343
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: so transformative to your life. So you don't you don't

344
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: have to be a singer. You don't have to be

345
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: great singers. I don't feel like I'm a great singer,

346
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: but I know that God has anointed me to do

347
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: what I do, and that's where I have my confidence.

348
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: I joked with you last week and I lost my voice.

349
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: I said, I sound like you, but I can't sing

350
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: like you, and I like.

351
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: I live in this song. You have to sound man

352
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: video guy. You can have to put a little reverb

353
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: on me, turn the highs up because I sound like

354
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: a Pentecostal precience. Oh my gosh.

355
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: When we talk about you being the leader of praising

356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: worship team at Changed Church, change change her shout out

357
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Pastor Darius Daniels. Daniels, we love y'all. Yeah, I'm so

358
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: glad I finally found like a consistent church home here

359
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. It has completely changed my Life's just I

360
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: love you guys, and I love my church home. But

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: what comes on People don't understand what all comes along

362
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: with being over that.

363
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: Ministry a lot, a lot, and not just over that.

364
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: Ministry because you are you also a pastor, like.

365
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm an executive pastor.

366
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a few things that kind of fall

367
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: under my leadership.

368
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it takes a lot.

369
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: But music in particular, people think that, you know, they

370
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: just pop some songs out and go. You know, it's

371
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: never that simple, Like there's a processing and it's like, yo,

372
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: how do we get people to Jesus?

373
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

374
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: How do we leave people? And like with worship, it's

375
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: like vertical. I me and the team, we get into

376
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: it all the time, Like that song gets a vertical

377
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: because it's like, Yo, when we start worship, I want

378
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: the songs to be not about what God can do

379
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: for us, but about what we can do for God,

380
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: like that we're coming in to tell God how good

381
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: he is, how faithful he is, how great he is.

382
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: So the intentionality that goes with that, yeah, has to

383
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: be thought through and then understanding who we're singing to,

384
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: the demographic of people that we're singing to, Because we

385
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: our worship may look different than a church in Indiana

386
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: or maybe a church on the other side, maybe another

387
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: church in Duluth. It may feel and look different because

388
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: of the demographic of people that we're serving. So we

389
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: have to think through that stylistically, how does that feel,

390
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: what does it sound like?

391
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: Is it vertical? Lyrically?

392
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: Is it biblically sound, is it aligned with vision? All

393
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: of those things go into place.

394
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: Do you ever talk to PD and be like, hey,

395
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: what's the sern about? And like tying into that.

396
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: It depends if it's something that he wants to like

397
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: nail in that month, that we may like intertwine like

398
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: some songs, or we may do a special maybe something

399
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: right before he speaks, or it might be a on her.

400
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: So I'm grateful that he trusts me, you know, you know,

401
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: because he could have you know, I no, I'm not

402
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: gonna say that, but yeah, I'm grateful that he trusts me.

403
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't micro manage the situation. He trusts me, and

404
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: he allows us to be He's like, Yo, I brought

405
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: you here because I trust you. I brought you here

406
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: because you do this and I don't do this, you

407
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it's like, yo, I'm gonna

408
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: let you do what I brought you here to do.

409
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: And if there's something I need to speak to, he

410
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: speak to And that's what I love about him. So consistent.

411
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: He what you see is what you get. He does

412
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: not waste his words, and so when he says something,

413
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: he makes it count. And so like with him. It's

414
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: not that I'm so great that he can't say anything.

415
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: I trust him with my life. The only reason why

416
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: I'm in this city is because I was going to

417
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: ask you.

418
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: So, how do they even the relationship? Bider? How they

419
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: even come apart.

00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: over here. But we had dinner and I sat at

445
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: that table with that man and I said, that's my pastor. Wow,

446
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: literally like if even if I didn't work with him,

447
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: I said, that's my and I've heard him preach several times.

448
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: But when I started to hear vision, when I started

449
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: to hear his heart, when I started when I started

450
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: to hear his vulnerability.

451
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I can connect.

452
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: With that because it's different. He is different, Our church

453
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: is different. And it's because he's different because of what

454
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: God has called him to do, you know what I mean.

455
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 2: So it's been that's the reason why, that's why I

456
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 2: am in. It's amazing, beautiful, incredible. You see how it

457
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: changed city. Yeah, but now it has going to be

458
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: just the airport alone has just been lifegiving, no more,

459
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: no more connect outside of the means people who worked there. Yes,

460
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: they're just not being able to get on connections after

461
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: connections living where I live connection so being able to

462
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: get almost anywhere in the world makes this.

463
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: City a lot.

464
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: So you like it better a little bit? That's crazy,

465
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: That's what I heard. No, I like.

466
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: I love my side of town, I love my people.

467
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: We're good.

468
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: I remember when you guys did the pop up Not sure,

469
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: but y'all did a pop up service. Yes, and Chandler calling,

470
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, sits some in town. Come out and

471
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I literally just coming to support Chandler.

472
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: Did not know what I was walking into. And I

473
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: got there and I was like, what is this? That

474
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: was my first time seeing you perform live. It was

475
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: just an amazing experience. And that was my first time

476
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: experiencing pasta Darius Daniels, and I was like, it's something

477
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: different about this man that made me. When Ike called

478
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and said, hey, they actually open up a church here, come,

479
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I won't have a church home.

480
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: I'll come and I haven't left. It stuck with me,

481
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I remember that and it was definitely a

482
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: pivotal moment in my walk because like a lot of people,

483
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: I've dealt with church hurt. I've gone to churches and really,

484
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: you know I'm saying, poured my life into them and

485
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: made sure that people knew this is where I'm going. Come,

486
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: let's serve, let's worship and get closer to God. And

487
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: what ends up happening is that the human side comes

488
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: out and then you allow instead of seeing that what

489
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: God was using that person for, you only see the

490
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: human and their flaws, and it turns you off in

491
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: the church. And that was my experience. So you guys

492
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: caught me at the right time when I was thirsty

493
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: for the word and needed that home base.

494
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: Again, that's good and that's the Lord knows exactly what

495
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: we need, especially for the season that we're in, you

496
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: know what i mean. So timing was everything for that.

497
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know what I mean. You have to

498
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: be at the right head be in the right head space, yes,

499
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: and to get the right phone call the right day,

500
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, to have your heart open

501
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: enough to even be like because some people can become

502
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: so jaded that anything the moment that they see anything

503
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 2: that comes close to what their past experience was, then

504
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: it's an op not see everybody like this or see

505
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: everyone every preachers like this, every church is like this. Yeah,

506
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: and they put everybody in this box because of something

507
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: that happened to them. And so as I'm so grateful

508
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: that you were open enough to like, oh this is

509
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: and the fact that it was exactly what you thought.

510
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: It was, you know what I mean, Like, oh this

511
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: is what I thought.

512
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't a bait and switch. It's like, oh no,

513
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 2: like this is exactly what it is. But for you

514
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: to come and have your heart open enough to even

515
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: receive that and feel the difference, and uh, it's again,

516
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: it's not not trying to harp on how great Passa

517
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: Darius is because he's.

518
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: A human being.

519
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: Uh you know what I mean, But it's that all

520
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: flows from him down because of legitimately who he is

521
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: as a person. I tell people he's a better man

522
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 2: than he is a preacher, and he's a phenomenal preacher.

523
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal past he's a better human being. So

524
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: that's why I love him so much. That's why I'm

525
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: in this beautiful city.

526
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,960

Speaker 2: I want to say it.

00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: I want to say that.

532
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: I want to say that finding some.

533
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: Really good restaurants here. Lay restaurant game is coming up.

534
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Listen, this is a spot. We got some good good stuff. Now,

535
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure you get this all the time, But have

536
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: you ever thought about being a pastor?

537
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: Because you have cut out the video, we're done that side.

538
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: I think when I tell you I've heard that more.

539
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 2: First of all, I've heard of my entire life. But

540
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: when I tell you I've heard that more in the

541
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: past twelve months, this year particularly, it's weird. It's weird.

542
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: And so I grew up around everybody wanted to be

543
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: a pastor. So I'm being like Anti, I don't want

544
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: a pastor, Anti, I just want to come serve the

545
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: Lord in this capacity. Take my butt home and go

546
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: get something to eat. You know what I'm saying, But

547
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm my heart has really been closed

548
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: off to the idea just simply because it been I've

549
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: worked very closely with pastors, and people will never know

550
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: what it takes to do that job. Well, yes, I'm

551
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: gonna say that again, not to do the job, but

552
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: to do the job. Well, what it takes is a

553
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: lot to sacrifice. The way you put yourself out of there,

554
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: the vulnerability, how open you are to criticism, ridicule lies,

555
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: and to put all of that out there and bring

556
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: your family through that. It's a different beast. So people

557
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: don't understand. So for me, I'm like, I'm good. I've

558
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: worked in the kitchen. I know what it is in

559
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: the kitchen, so I'm like, I'm good. But at the

560
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: same time, I don't want the Lord to have to

561
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: break my legs off if that is you know, the

562
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, the next evolution for me in my life.

563
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: I told God at sixteen, yes, so my answer will

564
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: always be yes. But I'm not pressed at all, Like.

565
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: Yo, I'm good.

566
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: I will serve somebody else, I will be a cheerleader,

567
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: i will leave worship, i will do some add me

568
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: in whatever it takes.

569
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: But it's not something that I'm going after now.

570
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: If it happens, yeah, yes, this is all right, but

571
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm not.

572
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, but everybody like they see it,

573
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: they see everybody.

574
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: But this year in particularly, it's so weird, and I'm like,

575
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: what am I doing. I'm like here trying to and

576
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm not checking. My thing is, I'm not not even

577
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: like we're on tour right now. I said I would

578
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: never go to it. I never wanted to go in

579
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: to Wow, never wanted to. I love serving in the

580
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: local church, like I love watching people go from A

581
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: to B, B, two, C, C, D D. I love

582
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: seeing the same people and being able to shake their

583
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: hands and hug their neck and love on them and

584
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: speak life to them. I love serving in the low church.

585
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm in the local church. A lot of people who

586
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: do what I do. They want to get out the

587
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: local church to get on the road and go travel,

588
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: like traveling. And that's whipped cream.

589
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: For me.

590
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: Serving at my church, that's the main thing, right, that's

591
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: whipped cream and chairs. It's it's great, it's it's cool.

592
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: But if I had to choose between the two, I'll

593
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: be right here at my church.

594
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I think I know with the moment that I thought

595
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: that as well, because I've heard people say that. But

596
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: I think the moment I thought about it was on

597
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: the Encounter album when you talked about doing the pottery

598
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: the way you told the story, I was like, he's

599
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: like to throw it away. You're like, no, you don't

600
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: throw it away. And how you compared to how God

601
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: puts us back together again. That's the moment I was like,

602
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: you got a little preacher.

603
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I look, I enjoy speaking. I enjoy all

604
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: the days. It's totally different. People people tell me all

605
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: the time like, oh well, if you can sing.

606
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: You can preach.

607
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: Not necessarily totally different vibes. The preparation you got one

608
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: is corporate. The other one y'all sitting down looking like,

609
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: say you better say something. You better say something good.

610
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get on Instagram right in front of your face.

611
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: So it's just two different types of preparation. But the

612
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: fulfilled Now, this is what I will say. The fulfillment

613
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: is different when I speak than when I sing. At

614
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: this point in my life, it's a different type of fulfillment.

615
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: And so again I'm not fighting the evolution, but it's

616
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: going to be got.

617
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: If you see your pass through pass through time.

618
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: He was like, that's God. Go to that church because dude,

619
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: God told him to do that. But yeah, but that

620
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: I'll never forget being at that Potter. That thing was

621
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: so life changing literally just being in it and like

622
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: putting your hands on the clay, and it's having this guy.

623
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: Who's not a Christian.

624
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: Wow, So I'm taking everything that he's saying, looking at

625
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: the Bible, looking at the heart of Jesus, and he's like, yo,

626
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: because I kept messing it up. I was like trying.

627
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: He was like, you got to hold a study in it,

628
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: and it kept falling apart. And I was like, yo,

629
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: so what do you do with this clay?

630
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: You know?

631
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: Once we I'm like, you just gonna throw it in

632
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: the trash can. He was like, no, never throw this

633
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: clay in the trash can. He said, I can use

634
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: this clay, said I can use this clay and recycle

635
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: this clay and use it over and over again. It

636
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: will never be to the point where it can't be used.

637
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: He was like, but for the untrained eye, for somebody

638
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: who doesn't know what to do with it, and it's

639
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 2: easy to throw it away. But for the potter who

640
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: understands what it is, he has the ability to say, no, no, no, no,

641
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: I can still use that, I can still restore that,

642
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: I can still put this back together. And not just

643
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: but here's the thing, and this is what I love

644
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: about God, not just not just can he restore it

645
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: and put it back on the wheel and make it something.

646
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: But he has the ability to make it something beautiful.

647
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes people can restore something and it's not gonna look

648
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: as good as what it was originally set out to be.

649
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: But God has the ability to take no matter how

650
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: jacked up, messed up, toe up from the flow up

651
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: your life, your situation, whatever you are in. He has

652
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: the ability to not just restore you, but actually make

653
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: you better than what you thought you would be from

654
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: the beginning, to actually take what you thought how great

655
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: your life was gonna be. That He has the ability

656
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: to give you the eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard,

657
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: neither has it entered into the He has the ability

658
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: to go above what you can even ask or think.

659
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: He is not just a repairer. He is not just

660
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: a restorer. He is the God that makes it better

661
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: than what you thought it could be from the beginning.

662
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: And that's what's dope. That's what's dope. Like He's not

668
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: And that's dope. That's what I love about Jesus. He

669
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: doesn't just put you back together again, like if this

00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: table was broke down and it looked like that to

671
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: begin with. He's not gonna put duct tape on the

Speaker 1: Pastor was going through all these R and B songs

709
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: and they were literally sending church like this. I looked back,

710
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: I said, y'all know what he talking about.

711
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't Drake, wasn't like what you talking about. That's

712
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: even though my daughter is a hippie. She's a real hippie.

713
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: She listens to music. I'm like, who are you listening?

714
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: I'm like what, I don't even know the names of

715
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 2: these people right, No, but you.

716
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: Have a beautiful family.

717
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: Was it?

718
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm always interested? I asked pd this. I always asked

719
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: Mary Couples, what was it that made you know that

720
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: your wife was the one that she wanted to see

721
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: the rest of your.

722
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 3: Life with her worship?

723
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 2: It was the first time I like newly getting saved,

724
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: walking walking out my faith, and the first time I

725
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: saw her worship, I was like, yeah.

726
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 3: I think that's my wife.

727
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

728
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: It was legitimately because of her heart for Jesus. I

729
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: didn't know what God was going to do with me

730
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: at that point. All I knew is I wanted God

731
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: to get the glory out of me. But I knew

732
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: it was going to take somebody being with me with

733
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: that type of heart and want that type of passion

734
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: for Jesus. Literally, the first I'll never forget it was

735
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: at my church.

736
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: And she came back in your hometown.

737
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: So she's from from the same area.

738
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: She's from the big city.

739
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm from the caution light up the little little city

740
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: and she came to my church.

741
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 3: Man I signed like, yo, this girl loved Jesus.

742
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: You can't make it pretty big.

743
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: So I was like, yo, she really loves Jesus.

744
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: And I was like, I know again I didn't know

745
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 2: exactly what God was doing, but at the same time,

746
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, I'm gonna need somebody like that on

747
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: my and uh and then just to get to know

748
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,919

Speaker 2: I'm never going to a bowling alley with you and

00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean. If I'm home being but that can be

774
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 2: a struggle sometimes. But if I'm home, put the phone down.

775
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: That's good. Like in because I travel so much, so

776
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: they don't deserve fragments.

777
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.

778
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: They don't deserve fragments because at the end of the day,

779
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: that's all I really got. Yep, that's that's the foundation. Like,

780
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: that's that's what's real, you know what I mean. Because

781
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: I can walk out here tomorrow and this suppointing people

782
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: and everybody who cheered for me and cloud for me

783
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: will be gone, you know what I mean. So the

784
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: people who are going to be there and it sucks,

785
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: but that's who normally gets the fragments is the people

786
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 2: who really care and the people who really love us.

787
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: Other people we give the least too, And that's just

788
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: an encouragement that anybody's watching. Like, let's reverse that. That's

789
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: not a statement to be like, oh man, that's true.

790
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 2: That's a statement and be like, yo, let me do better,

791
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: like for real and so like for me, it's like, Yo,

792
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 2: I'm home, be home, like leaning, hang out with my kids, leaning,

793
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: walk in the room, what y'all doing, Let's go somewhere,

794
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: let's go outda. Let's so like when I'm home, be

795
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: home and be very intentional. I know I'm gonna have

796
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: to go. It's just a part of the assignment at

797
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: this stage of my life. So it's like, yo, make

798
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: it count, make it count, make them feel the impact

799
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: when I am there.

800
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely I love that. Speaking of your wife, I know

801
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: that on one of your albums you spoke about a

802
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: diagnosis and healing that you both experience. Could you say

803
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: that with us?

804
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 3: This is so crazy.

805
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: We both got diagnosed with popular thyroid cancer. Wait what both?

806
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: I got diagnosed first. It's crazy, and this is why

807
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: you got there the right person in your life. For

808
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: maybe six months, she kept telling me, yo, you have

809
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: a little lump on your neck, like it was protruding,

810
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: just just a little bit, just look like I would have.

811
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: She was like, she kept telling me, you need to

812
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: go to the doctor. You need to go to the doctor.

813
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: I never went to.

814
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: After six months, I finally went to the doctor.

815
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: Went to the doctor. They took some biopsies. They was like,

816
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: it looks a little suspicionous. Well, I think you're fine.

817
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: Let's just remove your th We're gonna take half of

818
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: your thyroid out. You can keep the other half. I

819
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 2: was like, okay, cool. So they took half of my

820
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: thyroid out. We don't think it's cancer. As soon as

821
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: they took half the thyroid out, the biopsy, oh yes,

822
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: it's absolutely cancer.

823
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: Had to go back in.

824
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: Two weeks later, Oh my goodness. And legitimately it was

825
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: so it was like literally right over my vocal there,

826
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: so they were so close they had to put censors

827
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: around my vocals, my vocal cords so to let the

828
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 2: doctor know if it was like getting too close. I'm like, yo,

829
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: this is this is your you know what. So got diagnosed.

830
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: Went through the process. Literally as I'm healing, literally as

831
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to be like okay, I'm good. I

832
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: was doing my live recording. I was doing decrease right,

833
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 2: We're getting ready for the live recording. I'm finally getting

834
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: strong enough. My wife goes, She's like, yeah, I've been

835
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: feeling da da da da.

836
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: Go to the doctor.

837
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: She gets diagnosed with the same thing.

838
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: It was crazy like that. It was due. We were

839
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: in North Carolina Duke.

840
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 2: Some people from Duke came to our house to like

841
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 2: take samples of our carpet. Uh. They were like, Yo,

842
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: how did two people get that? They were like, that's

843
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: kind of unheard, and it was so weird. It was

844
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: the timing of it all. Literally my first big live recording,

845
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: and man, it was like going through that process together

846
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: and watching God literally walk us through this thing of healing.

847
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: And I went through it. She went through. Our surgery

848
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: wasn't as extensive as mine, but she came out cancer free.

849
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: Both cancer free.

850
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: Literally I think like seven eight years now, just free.

851
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: And it was like the way God, we were just

852
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: so like God, why.

853
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 2: It was the timing, And I'm like, when God does something,

854
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: is that what are you trying to produce? And I

855
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: was again it was with that album. I was like, God,

856
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: what are you trying to produce through this thing?

857
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: And you, what are you.

858
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 2: Trying to produce through us as a as a couple,

859
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: and what is it that You're trying to do through

860
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: us to get to the world. And it was like, Yo,

861
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: God is a healer and it may sometimes it may

862
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: be by the laying on the fans, sometimes it may

863
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: be through medicine. Sometimes it's in your obedience and like

864
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 2: to see how God just kind of like literally pushed

865
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 2: something out of me. And I really feel like a

866
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 2: part of that was for that record, Like there were

867
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: some things I needed to experience as we wrote for it,

868
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: as we prepared for as we went up that night,

869
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: and even to see what God did that night in

870
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: the room. If you haven't listened to that record, it's

871
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 2: like Encounter is Encounter, Encounters. That's my baby, but decrease.

872
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: It's special and that testimony is on that record. And

873
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 2: the people that were at the altar, I mean that

874
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 2: room was filled with over three thousand people and the alter,

875
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: it was droves of people that was at the author

876
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: and people got healed that night Jesus, and it was

877
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: I think it was just something that the Lord used

878
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: in that moment to let people's faith rise and to know, like, yo,

879
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: even when it's inconvenient. God is still good even when

880
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense, even when the timing is off.

881
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 2: Sometimes we can get so caught up, like man, the

882
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: timing was just so awful that like, God, why would

883
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: you allow this to happen? Now, this don't even make sense?

884
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: And He's like, just chill, I'm gonna make it work.

885
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: He always does.

886
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make it work for your good. Just just

887
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: be chill.

888
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

889
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: I had no idea that both of you both.

890
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: Both got our little scar right here, a little war wars.

891
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: But God, when I tell you, God, it was so

892
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: good for me, I couldn't even sing. I thought I

893
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: would never be able to sing again. Like I could sing. Yeah,

894
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: I thought I would never. I'll never forget we were.

895
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: I was in North Carolina, couldn't say. I was struggling, struggling, struggling, struggling,

896
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: and I literally I said, Lord, okay, well this is

897
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 2: just what it is. This is my new normal. And

898
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: the moment that I tried to accept the new normal,

899
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 2: God was like, listen, I was up singing and I'm

900
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: literally having a conversation with God while I'm I'm singing.

901
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: This is just my new normal. And the Lord said,

902
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: do you hear that? I'm like, hear what do you

903
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 2: hear that? I said, hear what he said? Listen? And

904
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: I was like, I literally I was singing, and I

905
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 2: stopped singing. I said, I could not believe. The Lord

906
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: was like, yo, don't box me like. I just wanted

907
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: to show you that even if you couldn't do that,

908
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: I can still use you. Even if you couldn't do

909
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 2: it the way you thought you could, I can still

910
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 2: get the glory out of it. But since you're trying

911
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: to say I can't watch this.

912
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: Watch what I did. Watch what I did?

913
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: He said, you hear that? Man, I'll say, Yo, So

914
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 2: God has been so good, like so faithful.

915
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: That is so good? All right. The last question I'm

916
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: going to ask you is what is next for Toddy Man?

917
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 3: You know what next? I can tell.

923
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: it out here. I'm putting out here on your podcast. Now,

924
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: do not this isn't necessarily going to correlate. You're going

925
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: to make it correlate with what you just said. But

926
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 2: I am going. I'm starting Bible College next year.

Speaker 2: But that's just because I just want to be a

929
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: story of the word.

930
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 3: You're going to join. You don't go to college.

931
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: About college, where is it?

932
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna teach you.

933
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm not teaching.

934
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to schools and teach you. No, I'm going.

935
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to Liberty University.

936
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: Though, I Peter, I'm gonna take your class.

937
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 4: You Yeah, college, I want to go.

938
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 3: I just want to.

939
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I tell worship leaders that's crazy.

940
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: I tell worst leaders all the time. We have to

941
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: have good theology. We're always in front of people. The

942
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: two voices people here weekend and week out is the

943
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: pastor and the worst leader, the two most consistent voices

944
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 2: people here weekend and week out. And so in order

945
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: to do your job well, you have to have good theologies.

946
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: You can't just be able to say what your mama said.

947
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: The series right now, God didn't say.

948
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 3: Stand up and say a bunch of stuff that guy didn't.

949
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: If you don't know for yourself, you know.

950
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 3: Repeating something you thought was cool from somebody else.

951
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: So we didn't heard for years that was wrong.

952
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: We all have we all like the Bible didn't say

953
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: that at all. So I just want to have good

954
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: So I am sorry. So I'm investing in my spirituality.

955
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm investing and just getting a greater understanding of the word. Financially,

956
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm investing in some things that I feel like is

957
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna set my children up and my family up better.

958
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: And so it's a yeah, I'm literally saying, this is

959
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: a year of investment, so spiritually, emotionally, family, financially. Uh.

Speaker 3: I'll put on my doctor hat now let's go.

993
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, Heykris still, my name is Caleb. I grew

994
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: up going to church with my dad, but I was

995
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: never taught how to pray or read the Bible. It

996
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: was more like just them telling us what to do.

997
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: I didn't really believe in God because of those reasons.

998
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: When my sister passed back in two thousand and three,

999
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: everyone would tell me just to pray about it, but

1000
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: again I didn't know how to. It wasn't until a

1001
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: few years later my boyfriend at the time would just

1002
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: lay in the bed and I asked him what was

1003
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: he thinking about, and he said he was praying. I

1004
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: then asked him how does he pray and what does

1005
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: he say to God? After that, I started to pray.

1006
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: But it wasn't until twenty sixteen, when he and I

1007
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: were going through the roughest time that I believed in God.

1008
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: I asked God. I ask God a few days before

1009
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: he broke up, to end it if it wasn't meant

1010
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: for us to be together. Of course, I wasn't prepared

1011
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: prepared for what he was gonna do. However, that's when

1012
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: I knew for sure that God was real. Be careful

1013
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: what you asked for, Lord, send me a sun. I

1014
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: still struggle to fully commit to my commit myself to

1015
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: reading the Bible. I also grew up dyslexic, which makes

1016
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: it somewhat hard for you to understand the Bible. Do

1017
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: you know of any ways that can help me understand

1018
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: and read the Bible?

1019
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 2: Go to liberty, liberty, Yo, start you gotta, Yo, you

1020
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: have to bring it to where you are. So I

1021
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: was just like, Yo, what translations are you looking at?

1022
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 3: Right?

1023
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'm an n IV guy. I love the

1024
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 2: n IV. And then I go back to the King James.

1025
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: I would say, even start with DeVos. DeVos are great.

1026
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 2: The Bible app has scriptures that come up every day

1027
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: that have thousands of DeVos on there where you can

1028
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 2: come or you can actually read along with a group

1029
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: of people that you can do every single day.

1030
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 3: But I would say start with a translation.

1031
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: If the amplified or the new King James version is

1032
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: a version that you can kind of, you know, read

1033
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 2: and understand. And when you read the Bible, read it slow.

1034
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: I don't care if you dyslexic or whatever. I don't

1035
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: care if you have a perfect IQ. Read it and

1036
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 2: read it slow, and read it again. And then when

1037
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: you read it again, read it again, and then you go.

1038
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: You have your Bible, and you may get your little

1039
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 2: commentary where it explains it you know what I mean.

1040
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: It's like, Yo, what you There are so many tools

1041
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: out there. You can go to Google and ask Google.

1042
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 2: Google has that ability that will send you to different

1043
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: resources that will explain if I like, there are so

1044
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: many ways if you want it, you and I can

1045
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: tell in your heart to write in it's something that

1046
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: your heart desires. But I was like, Yo, find your

1047
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: translation that you connect with. Find you a devo, go

1048
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: to the Bible app. It's legitimately the Bible app. Jump

1049
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 2: in a devo that they have every single day, find

1050
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: the scripture and then research it almost.

1051
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 3: Like you would do like a turnpaper.

1052
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: It's like, Yo, I want to know what God is

1053
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: really saying through this and find the ways that through commentaries,

1054
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: through research, through just legitimately, my Hey, what does it

1055
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: mean when the Lord says? Now shall not da da

1056
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: da da da da da and find things that are solid.

1057
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 2: But I would legitimately start with the Bible App, find

1058
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: a translation that you're comfortable with, and read that thing slow,

1059
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 2: read it slow, and let ask the Holy Spirit.

1060
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 3: Pray.

1061
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: We talked, you talked about prayer act the Lord. Hey,

1062
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: open up my heart and my spirit to really receive

1063
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: and understand what this is saying to me in this

1064
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 2: season of my life, what is the word actually saying?

1065
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: Not what my interpretation of it is, but what is

1066
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: it actually saying? And so find you a good find

1067

1069
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: really good? That Tony Evans Bible is great, great, great, great,

1070
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 2: great resource cause it explains it as well. So check

1071
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: that out for your commentary. Read it slow, find a

1072
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,000

Speaker 3: You, and then go back.

1074
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 2: I tell people always go back to the King James

1075
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 2: Versus and look at it as well. But that's just

1076
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 2: my non Bible college.

1077
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see what you say next after your first semester.

1078

Speaker 3: I might come back like, look, I got a better

1079
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:28,799

1081
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: I feel like you answered that perfect. I don't want

1082
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: to come behind it. That was perfect, perfect, perfect. So

1083
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: I pray for you. We both are praying for you

1084
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: that you get through everything that you're going through. But yeah,

1085
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: everything he said, and just take your time with it,

1086
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: don't read.

1087
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 3: It slow, read it slow.

1088
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1089
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: Alright, So now we do what I'm going through and

1090
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: what I'm growing through right now, and this season I

1091
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: am growing through listening, learning to listen to God, learn

1092
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: to listen to my inner voice. A lot of times

1093
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: my voice is a lot louder than Gods, you know.

1094
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm growing through, what I'm going through,

1095
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: and I'm growing through, I think right now, growing through

1096
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: the wo ifs. You know, I have a lot of

1097
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: wood ifs in my life, and I'm like, Okay, what

1098
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: if this doesn't happen? And learning, you know what, just

1099
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: be let God take the lead in every area of

1100
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: my life.

1101
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 3: Got you? Yeah, So.

1102
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 2: What I'm going through, what I'm going through, man, I

1103
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: think what I'm going through is a season, a season

1104
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 2: of growing up. It's like what I was talking like,

1105
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm forty one, right, and they're just some areas because

1106
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: they haven't fallen apart that I've just kind of like

1107
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 2: been chilly in or I'm just like, Okay, it's not

1108
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 2: killing me, you know what I mean, but it's not

1109
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: growing me either.

1110
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: So lay aside every sin and weight.

1111
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: And sometimes we can lay aside sin because that's obvious, right,

1112
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: But then it's like weight, the thing that stops us

1113
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 2: from moving as fast as we could. Yeah, and so

1114
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: I think I'm like going through a season of like

1115
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: growing up and getting rid of weight, you know, getting

1116
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: rid of weight things that are things that have slowed

1117
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 2: me down.

1118
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 3: I'm terrible with procrastination.

1119
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: Likesthay December eighteenth, A real good gift this year.

1120
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: Mom, I'm excited for both of us. But yeah, but

1121
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 2: it's like I want to grow up in some areas

1122
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 2: that because they haven't destroyed me, but I know that

1123
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: they're holding me back and stopping me from getting to

1124
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 2: where I'm trying to go maybe quicker than I could

1125
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 2: if I if I just dealt with these things and

1126
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: grew up in these areas, that's good.

1127
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 3: And so I feel like that's kind of what I'm

1128
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: going through.

1129
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, sometimes i feel like I'm going in and

1130
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: growing through.

1131
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 2: The same thing because I want I want to. I

1132
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 2: want to have victory over those areas. And I want

1133
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 2: to because I want to. It's like y'all want you.

1134
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 2: It's not a testimony until you got victory over. And

1135
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 2: so I want to be able to help people through

1136
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: those types of things. And so I'm like, yo, I

1137
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: gotta grow up. I got a legitimately like, yo, Okay,

1138
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 2: it's not killing you, bro, but you could be so

1139
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 2: much further if you just dealt with this differently, if

1140
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: you just grew up in these certain areas of your.

1141
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: Life, right right, all right. The last thing we do

1142
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: is keep it blank, sweetie. So what would you tell

1143
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: the audience if you had to fill in the blank

1144
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: for this week?

1145
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 2: What would you say if I had to feel in

1146
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 2: a blank?

1147
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: Or keep it blank?

1148
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 2: Sweetie?

1149
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 3: Keep it blank, sweetie?

1150
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 2: Now I can go first, Yeah, you go, verse, you

1151
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: go verse. I'm gonna take a simple words. See what

1152
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 2: I can come up.

1153
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: Let's see. I would say, keep it open minded, sweet.

1154
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 3: Keep it open minded.

1155
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: Oh that's for you to keep it over minded.

1156
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 2: Keep it on you saying keep it over minded. I

1157
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 2: would say, keep it honest, sweetie. That's good. We're living

1158
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: I mean when people say we're living in today, I mean,

1159
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 2: people need to be honest no matter what. But we

1160
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: get so.

1161
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 3: Little truth in our relationship.

1162
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the majority of the stuff you hear from

1163
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: people are things that they think you want them to

1164
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: say versus truth. And the relationships that I'm falling more

1165
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: in love with are the relationships where people tell me

1166
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: the truth and like the honest, hard conversation, honest truth.

1167
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 2: And those are the relationships that I'm fostering and leaning

1168
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: into because we get such little truth where people and

1169
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 2: people will watch you fall apart, People will watch you

1170
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 2: do dumb stuff, people will watch you have a booger

1171
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 2: in your nose and not saying nothing to you. But

1172
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 2: people will just watch you in all faces of life,

1173
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 2: knowing that they have the ability, because of the proximity

1174
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 2: that they have to you, to be able to speak

1175
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 2: to some things. But I don't know where the fear

1176
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 2: comes from. And a lot of times there's fear of

1177
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 2: falling out, fear of what saying the truth will you know,

1178
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 2: will bring in the relationship. But I'm like, yo, tell

1179
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 2: me the truth, tell me, tell me the truth. I

1180
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: appreciate the truth. I can grow from the truth absolutely,

1181
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 2: but don't let me fall. And you have the ability

1182
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 2: to say something or to speak to something, you know

1183
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like because of fear, don't you know

1184
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 2: what I mean? Tell tell the truth in love, yes,

1185
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 2: not maliciously, you know what I mean? Because it can

1186
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: be different because people can snap on you or tell

1187
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 2: you the truth. And what happens is most people tell

1188
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 2: you the truth when they're aggravated, so then it doesn't

1189
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 2: even hit the same. But if you tell me when

1190
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 2: we're sober, yes, you know what I mean, it's like,

1191
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 2: it's not number one. I know it's coming from the

1192
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: right place. It's not coming from a malicious place. It's

1193
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: coming from a place in love. So tell the truth.

1194
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, ladies, gentlemen, Todd Gallery,

1195

00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: It's very comfortable.

1199
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 3: I want to take a nap after this episode.

1200
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: People like this felt like therapy. Now going to go

1201
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: to sleep, right, you gotta go, because I got somebody else.

1202
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 3: And I was late. I was late.

1203
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 2: I was gonna put that hours late for this episode.

1204
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: But but it was amazing. So we're gonna you've actually

1205
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: made up for the lateness.

1206
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 2: Because this was really good.
