00:10:30.200 of who you are in the background. 155 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.100 Just introduce yourself real quickly. 156 00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:34.000 Okay. 157 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.240 Okay, well, I do have an offer for you guys. 158 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.320 I'm joking. 159 00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:42.840 Nice. 160 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.200 Actually, so I came back, I don't know, 161 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.520 what do you want, general information? 162 00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:50.440 What's that? 163 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.720 Do you want general kind of information or what? 164 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.800 Yeah, we're just, you know, 165 00:10:53.800 --> 00:10:56.040 basically what these calls are for 166 00:10:56.040 --> 00:10:57.960 is for just guys to come together 167 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.040 and just really share our hearts, share our wins, 168 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:04.040 share some of the stuff that's frustrating us. 169 00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:06.720 You know, we've been known to do some confession 170 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.000 and do some things and just share what's going on, 171 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.980 share some truths. 172 00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:15.980 And we started off sort of working through the heart work, 173 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.080 which we'll probably get back into that 174 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.080 with some new guys coming in here in the next couple of weeks 175 00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:25.040 but yeah, that's what this call is for 176 00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:26.600 is just to do a heart check in. 177 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.800 So what are some of the things, I guess, 178 00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:33.280 that you've gotten from being involved 179 00:11:33.280 --> 00:11:34.600 with the last year single? 180 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.360 Well, yeah, so I was gonna launch into the testimony, 181 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.400 which I think is fitting 182 00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:45.680 because that's basically a point of transformation, 183 00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:49.000 you know, where I had like this real 184 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.080 kind of encounter with the Lord. 185 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.840 It was like during a grieving process 186 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.120 that I couldn't shake. 187 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.760 And then the Holy Spirit just came 188 00:11:56.760 --> 00:11:59.680 and I had this incredible like encounter. 189 00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:00.680 It lasted like 20 minutes. 190 00:12:00.680 --> 00:12:04.480 It felt like just the peace of God and my comforter, 191 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.800 you know, and so he introduced me that way. 192 00:12:07.800 --> 00:12:10.960 And so from there, I was just like, oh man, 193 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.920 I just, how could I have ever walked away from this? 194 00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:16.120 I think it was like deconstructing my faith 195 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.660 from a matter of like 20 years. 196 00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:21.600 And then, you know, after that, I was just like, 197 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.600 oh, I'm totally seeking the prophetic and just learning. 198 00:12:28.520 --> 00:12:31.520 And that was like during COVID and stuff. 199 00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:34.160 So I was mostly just online chasing things 200 00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:37.920 and just kind of drinking in heavily 201 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:40.560 of all of these new teachings and stuff. 202 00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:42.280 And so I kind of stumbled into, 203 00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:43.920 it's funny that you did say that. 204 00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:48.920 There's a, I had this real idea of Proverbs 31, 205 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.680 I think we've all been praying 206 00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:56.080 for a Proverbs 31 wife, right? 207 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.520 Probably very familiar with this. 208 00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:03.520 And so the Lord asked me to rewrite that chapter 209 00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:07.120 in male pronouns. 210 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.200 And this was during the height of the whole controversy 211 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.240 of pronouns and everything, you know. 212 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.480 I like to joke and say, 213 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.100 my adjectives are brilliant and handsome. 214 00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:20.220 Thank you very much. 215 00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:23.020 You know, it's very hard to subscribe 216 00:13:23.020 --> 00:13:26.020 to that kind of like ideology and stuff. 217 00:13:26.020 --> 00:13:31.020 So, but anyway, so I did, I wrote down the Proverbs 31, 218 00:13:31.140 --> 00:13:32.940 and the Lord was showing me that like, 219 00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:37.740 that quality of person is very active in their community. 220 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.180 They have, they speak with wisdom. 221 00:13:40.180 --> 00:13:42.340 They carry themselves in a way that they are caring 222 00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:45.240 for their servants or employees. 223 00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:49.860 They're just, they've got multiple streams of income 224 00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:52.500 and they're making real estate moves. 225 00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.660 You know, she buys a vineyard and she cultivates it 226 00:13:54.660 --> 00:13:56.140 and, you know, all these different things. 227 00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:57.740 So the Lord was just basically showing me 228 00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:02.740 how really we are called to be more entrepreneurial, 229 00:14:05.140 --> 00:14:09.060 you know, and so, yeah, we should be in Zoom calls 230 00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:14.060 like this, giving, you know, our expertise 231 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:17.600 in different fields and offering something to people 232 00:14:17.640 --> 00:14:21.560 so that they can, you know, in the kingdom we over deliver 233 00:14:21.560 --> 00:14:24.480 and then they can run with whatever it is we have, 234 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.320 curriculum or whatever kind of teaching that we have. 235 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:32.320 And so I'm actually, I'm writing a book on this actually. 236 00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:37.480 And so it's like, that's one project I got. 237 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.880 Last week I got a VR headset and I was just thinking, man, 238 00:14:41.880 --> 00:14:44.200 but one of the things that the Lord, 239 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.840 I just, I do practical things and I feel like, 240 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.880 wow, has anybody done this before? 241 00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:53.880 I would go through like Google Earth and just spin the globe 242 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.680 and just start praying over whatever I was seeing. 243 00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:00.280 I would Zoom into a place and if I could tell like. 244 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.640 physical or whatever I know naturally that's why I start from praying and then pretty soon I find 245 00:15:04.640 --> 00:15:11.920 myself I'm praying in the in in the in the depth of like I don't even know why I'm praying for this 246 00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:18.320 little child in India but that he would be raised up in power to in the word and just know it 247 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.360 intimately and stuff and so you know you get into this like prophetic pronouncement over 248 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:29.040 different areas and stuff and so anyways I have this VR headset I've been toying around with this 249 00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:35.840 week and I just thought what if there was like a place where we could go in VR and come together 250 00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:44.320 in prayer like a global intercessor movement and stuff and so I emailed somebody and they said okay 251 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.960 well you know we'll we'll see if there's something there and I'm like cool I mean 252 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.520 I gotta steward this idea somehow so we're meeting Wednesday to just like they're like 253 00:15:55.520 --> 00:16:00.560 hey we can do from napkin to pull on you know you know business whatever they've done a lot of 254 00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:07.200 stuff so so I have no idea what I'm doing this is a drain and an idea that's so big that it can't be 255 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.960 done from me so I'm like okay that sounds like probably something God would probably have you do 256 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.240 right so I was like that's a that's a breadcrumb to me so I'm just gonna follow it and so we'll 257 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:24.320 go to this next step but I think what what occurs is as you sit down and brainstorm and create these 258 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:30.800 ideas and have this like longevity of like you know in this VR thing I can see how I would have 259 00:16:31.520 --> 00:16:35.920 you know if it took me like 10 years and the reason why I thought VR is because I think 260 00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:42.480 that's going to replace our natural social media thing soon or down the road or that's what Gary V 261 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:48.800 has indicated anyway and so trying to stay in touch with all of that right and so yeah and I 262 00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:54.960 just thought well if it does take me a while that would give me enough time to develop my own 263 00:16:54.960 --> 00:17:01.040 curriculums and and share things about you know just some of the great people that have gone 264 00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:06.560 before us about prayer like brother Lawrence brother Florence he's got this idea of like 265 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.640 praying about every single thing and like what color shirt he puts on and you know what do I go 266 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.319 right or do I go left here Lord but you know just like having this awareness of God constantly and 267 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.760 trying to interact with him that's phenomenal there's another guy uh Henderson or Hendrickson 268 00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:28.319 who talks about the the courtrooms of God you know and and how we have this certain authority and 269 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:33.200 it's a legal thing you know when Jesus died on the cross he said it is finished that was a legal 270 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:40.320 term of like it's done now and that's and that's the atonement and everything so um so all these 271 00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:44.720 different kind of teachings I feel like I could probably create of myself I didn't partner with 272 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:50.800 somebody now to have that available and stuff so anyway so it's just like I don't know I got one 273 00:17:50.800 --> 00:17:56.640 idea after the next I don't know when to stop or which one to jump on and you know so it's like I 274 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.400 feel like I've got like four balls and I'm juggling I can't juggle but if I could in this theoretical 275 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.520 thing I can only juggle three balls I'm trying to work the next one in I just can't you know so 276 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:14.000 so that's where I'm at right now my my mind and stuff so taking this week off it's on the heels 277 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:21.120 of three days of fasting and praying that's something I've started online where I'm just doing 278 00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:27.600 that first three days of the month it's like a tithe of my time and just paying over my month and 279 00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:32.880 and just inviting the Lord to meet me in these specific days and stuff and and it's just so it 280 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:40.320 caused me to to draw closer to him you know it's like feed my sheep in that feeding others you 281 00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:47.840 you get fulfilled too and so I just feel a certain closeness with the Lord and so so things are good 282 00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:53.520 and part of the process in all of this is like oh yeah I think and I I dropped something there 283 00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:59.840 was a quick video last night just up thinking about stuff and it was like basically you know 284 00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:05.600 I feel like where I'm going I'm gonna need a partner you know I'm gonna need that support 285 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:12.640 in the house not just externally you know and so I need to find somebody that I know is gonna be 286 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:21.200 like you know I just came out of a season that was like I that I called it my napping in the 287 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.760 boat with Jesus season because I was like I gotta move I don't know where I'm gonna live 288 00:19:25.760 --> 00:19:31.200 it just felt like a storm was happening and just like at this incredible peace 289 00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:35.920 knowing well he's got me we'll we'll work this out I'm not sure what's going to happen here but 290 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:43.840 you know so so I whoever I partner with has to have that kind of level of like 291 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.800 it's going to be all right you know whatever whatever happens you know we'll sort this out 292 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:59.280 we'll sort this out amen anybody want to react to Bob's idea situation anything that stick out to 293 00:19:59.280 --> 00:19:59.760 you 294 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.560 Did someone else come off mute too? 295 00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:06.240 I'm sorry if I interrupted somebody. 296 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.240 No. 297 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:15.640 Oh, Bob, I just felt like this openness in my chest as I just heard you share and I just 298 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:20.520 felt like this connection and this, like you have a big heart and I think it was helping 299 00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:23.880 my heart open as I was listening. 300 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.000 So I just want to reflect that back to you, just the strong sense of just how big your 301 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.400 heart is and how it impacted me just listening to you share. 302 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.400 So thank you. 303 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.160 No, no, I'll take that, man. 304 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.160 That's cool. 305 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:38.160 Good. 306 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:46.400 I want to thank you for sharing, Bob, really appreciate your willingness to go for it. 307 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:54.360 And it's like you are really willing to say yes, you know, to God and that you're experiencing 308 00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:57.600 a lot of divine inspiration, which is really exciting. 309 00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:09.680 And so thank you for that, that good example of seeking and following the Lord. 310 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.680 Anybody else? 311 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:11.680 One more person, maybe. 312 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.680 Nobody? 313 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:13.680 Abram, I think you have something. 314 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:14.680 Chris, maybe. 315 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.680 Chris has come on camera. 316 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:26.680 Well, I was just going to say, Bob, I just, I was really, I'd never heard about, you know, 317 00:21:26.760 --> 00:21:29.840 like kind of like tithing a month. 318 00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:31.840 I was really cool. 319 00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:36.840 And so thanks for the inspiration and new concept. 320 00:21:36.840 --> 00:21:43.200 Oh, Bob, I like your idea of Prophecy One is a woman we need to have. 321 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:47.400 I mean, she may not be classy or so, but she also has got the heart or so like involved 322 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.480 doing stuff that's healthy, not necessarily be the everybody. 323 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:57.800 And I also like your idea of napping on the boat with Jesus season. 324 00:21:57.800 --> 00:22:00.800 I love it. 325 00:22:00.800 --> 00:22:03.640 That's good. 326 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.760 So yeah, no, Bob, thanks for sharing it really, really. 327 00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:11.840 I thank you for just giving us a piece of who you are. 328 00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:16.960 And the several things that stood out to me were, well, first of all, what did you say 329 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.160 your adjectives were? 330 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.280 I kind of missed that because it cut out a little bit. 331 00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:24.680 Oh, that was that was a joke, you know, that I might have gotten me fired from a state 332 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:29.400 job because I was putting in my my bio. 333 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:30.880 I just got this job. 334 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.480 And and I was like. 335 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:38.440 I was like, oh, should I I'm like, hey, I don't know if this is funny or not, and I 336 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:44.400 should not have I should have been more aware, but I was like, but my adjectives are handsome 337 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.600 and brilliant. 338 00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:48.240 And I just thought that was a joke. 339 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:53.320 And I think for no unrelated or, you know, no related reason, well, they didn't give 340 00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:54.320 me a reason. 341 00:22:54.320 --> 00:22:57.720 They just said about a week later, I think they were just like, we're going to let you 342 00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.720 go. 343 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:00.680 It's just I'm like, are you serious? 344 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.040 I'm like, I'm awesome at this job. 345 00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:04.040 Like, whatever. 346 00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:06.040 Yeah, I see. 347 00:23:06.040 --> 00:23:09.840 OK, well, I will tell you this, though. 348 00:23:09.840 --> 00:23:16.080 The one thing that I see with the things that stood out to me. 349 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:20.000 Is the intentionality with which you're trying to approach a lot of these things? 350 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.760 I think that's incredible. 351 00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:24.760 Yes, they are varied and many. 352 00:23:24.760 --> 00:23:28.160 And so I'm sure there's going to be one that you're going to really kind of settle down 353 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:29.160 on, too. 354 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:37.880 But in terms of just the the intentional setting aside of time, I think that's very, very powerful. 355 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.880 I love how you're like repurposing Proverbs 31. 356 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.400 All that's really cool. 357 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.360 I definitely can see how you're very entrepreneurial that you got the ideas. 358 00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:55.320 One thing that stands out to me, too, with regarding the technology, you know, in in 359 00:23:55.320 --> 00:24:00.640 in some circles, you know, you share ideas and people look at it like, oh, you know, 360 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.640 that's like, oh, whatever. 361 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.920 That's yeah, that's cool. 362 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.600 Or that's like, you know, that's quirky and weird or that's that'll never, you know, negative 363 00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:08.680 is like, oh, that'll never work, whatever. 364 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:16.240 But you know, one thing I learned from my son, who he's an industrial designer by in 365 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:24.440 terms of his college degree, he went to University of Cincinnati and the DAP program, and he 366 00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.840 is an industrial designer. 367 00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:32.040 And he now represents a startup company that's what it's still kind of a startup, but it's 368 00:24:32.040 --> 00:24:33.120 called Gravity Sketch. 369 00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:41.360 They actually have a three dimensional software program, the design program that is really 370 00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:43.320 designed to work in virtual reality. 371 00:24:43.320 --> 00:24:49.160 As a matter of fact, when he was doing his when he was doing his co-ops when he was still 372 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:53.720 in college, this is where he would take almost every semester towards the end of his college 373 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:58.800 career was actually putting a semester in at a design firm, and he worked at Hasbro 374 00:24:58.800 --> 00:24:59.760 and he worked at. 375 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.920 a place called Industry in Portland, Oregon. He worked for Dell in Austin. He worked for 376 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:13.600 another company in Columbus, Ohio. So he was all over. And one company that he was at, 377 00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:19.520 he was always ahead of the curve in his studies. He would always get the software 378 00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:23.600 that he was going to learn the next quarter ahead of time. And he was almost pretty much 379 00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:29.600 an expert at whatever the design software was. And then he was being able to apply what he was 380 00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:34.640 learning in the following quarter. And so early adopter kind of guy, he was doing lunch and learns 381 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:42.000 with virtual reality, showing how virtual reality could really speed up the design process. 382 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.840 So there are certain things you can do. And when you have software, that's the three-dimensional 383 00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:53.120 on your computer, but the interface that you're working with is still a two-dimensional screen. 384 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:58.320 So there are limitations in the design process that are still there. And it's not until you 385 00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:04.720 actually model them in clay, for instance, like cars, until you actually model and produce the 386 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:12.000 clay physical 3D model, that's why they still do clay models with cars, is that the physics of it, 387 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:16.800 those curves actually don't exist until you actually make it in three dimension, because 388 00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:22.400 they don't translate well from 2D to 3D. So you have to sort of make it up. Well, when you got 389 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:28.720 virtual reality, it totally changes the game. You can literally stand inside the car and you can 390 00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:34.720 create all the intricacies in the design. And so it saves steps in the design process. 391 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:40.080 My point is, is that technology as a tool, and you mentioned Gary Vee to his point, 392 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.640 the important thing is to affect change and to affect industry and to affect society and to be 393 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:53.360 there, especially from a profitable standpoint, if you're looking at it that way, is to actually be 394 00:26:53.920 --> 00:27:01.520 where attention is. So that's one of his core principles. And so as believers, as individuals 395 00:27:01.520 --> 00:27:07.600 that are wanting to affect change in the world, let alone the profitability, I'm not talking about 396 00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:13.280 a profitability or in terms of business idea, what I'm talking about is attention. So why social media 397 00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:19.040 is so impacting is because somebody you've never heard of that's an influencer that has a million 398 00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:24.960 followers can get on their social media channel and they can influence culture by sharing 399 00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:29.680 something, saying something, doing something, posting a stupid video, and they're literally 400 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:38.720 impacting. And what's a word that is from scripture is discipling a nation. 401 00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:45.680 We are called to be disciplers or people who go disciple nations. 402 00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:53.440 We are going into people groups. We should be going into spheres and where not only just 403 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:58.800 ethnicities and not only country geography and all that, but when you talk about nations, you could 404 00:27:58.800 --> 00:28:04.960 talk about the technological sector as a nation. You could talk about 405 00:28:05.040 --> 00:28:12.480 different socioeconomics as nations. Any group of people can be a nation of individuals 406 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:17.840 that have a collective form of thinking. But if we're going to impact those societies 407 00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:23.680 and we're afraid to go there and be where attention is, you see, rather than trying to 408 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:28.320 garner the attention, oh, come to church, come to this Christian thing, come to this thing, watch 409 00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:34.480 this video that's 10 years behind. We're always behind. And so it's really cool to be 410 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.080 able to see people who are pioneering and going, hey, why don't we go where the attention is, 411 00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:46.560 be there, set up shop, learn the technology, get the lay of the land, understand what it is that 412 00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:54.800 people are looking at and listening to and wanting to go forward in and being there and showing 413 00:28:54.800 --> 00:29:00.480 forth and demonstrating the kingdom there. Not everybody's called to that, but it's an 414 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.800 incredible thought. And so I just want to champion that. But I mean, it's just it makes me think, 415 00:29:04.800 --> 00:29:08.880 because I think of that kind of stuff all the time. And one of the things like, for instance, 416 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:13.840 our business, you know, where we're in the relationship space. Yeah, we're unashamedly 417 00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:20.480 faith-based. We share our Christian worldview and we're very, very spiritual and deep. And we share 418 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:26.720 a lot of things that theologically that people may even go like, oh, I don't know about that 419 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:31.520 and that kind of thing. But we've developed a community to where we're trying to be where people 420 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.080 are putting their attention. And if they're putting their attention on wanting to be 421 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:41.600 prepared for marriage, prepared to find their spirit mate, that's where we have set up our 422 00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:46.160 situation to be. And we're garnering attention there. And then we're dealing with and talking 423 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:52.800 and delivering that. So in the same way, guys, I mean, I don't know what it is that you're doing 424 00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:57.920 with your business. And when I say business, I say whatever it is that you do that you're 425 00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.840 doing for your. 426 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.040 income is your business. 427 00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:04.400 And now that could be your own personal business 428 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:05.480 that you've started, or it could be 429 00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:08.240 you work for another company, but nevertheless, it 430 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.640 is your business. 431 00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.600 I would anticipate that all of you 432 00:30:12.600 --> 00:30:16.640 are experts to a degree in the field that you're working in. 433 00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.520 You may not think you are, you may not 434 00:30:18.520 --> 00:30:20.600 have the credentials that say you're an expert, 435 00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:22.520 but you're an expert in you. 436 00:30:22.520 --> 00:30:25.160 You're an expert in what it is that you are perceiving. 437 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.960 I know to everyone on this call is a very intentional person. 438 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.200 Otherwise, you really wouldn't quite be here. 439 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.520 That's why this group is actually small, 440 00:30:35.520 --> 00:30:37.800 is because not a lot of men are willing to go 441 00:30:37.800 --> 00:30:41.680 to this level of intentionality to work on themselves 442 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.040 to be prepared, not just for a spirit mate, 443 00:30:44.040 --> 00:30:46.320 but just on their manhood. 444 00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:48.920 I mean, I know you guys have done, each one of you 445 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.280 have done a lot of other work other than even just 446 00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:53.360 the hard work to come to this level. 447 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.720 So you are literally like, dude, I am unpacking my stuff, 448 00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.120 and I am working on myself, and it is happening, 449 00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:00.360 and God is doing some things. 450 00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:02.080 So it's pretty incredible. 451 00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:04.360 I want to champion the fact that you all 452 00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:06.960 are doing what you're doing. 453 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.320 You're pretty incredible doing that. 454 00:31:09.320 --> 00:31:12.280 Not a lot of men are doing that. 455 00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:16.440 This is what I mean by we're living in an age 456 00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:21.320 where it's not good enough. 457 00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.600 Good men, sometimes it just feels like it's not good enough. 458 00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:28.120 You're on paper like, oh, I have a job, and I love Jesus, 459 00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:30.280 and I don't gamble, and I don't smoke, 460 00:31:30.280 --> 00:31:32.720 and I don't do bad things. 461 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.520 Why wouldn't anybody want that?

541 00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.639 So it's like, it's really cool to start thinking about like, 542 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.840 this is the person I'm looking for. 543 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:48.800 I'm looking for this person that is, you know, 544 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:53.480 I can come alongside and she comes alongside me as well. 545 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.520 This is the kind of partner I'm looking for, 546 00:34:56.520 --> 00:34:58.240 you know, in a spirit mate. 547 00:34:58.240 --> 00:35:00.160 And, but when God... 548 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:09.440 looks at Adam, and Adam finally sees Eve, and he says, oh, whoa, bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, 549 00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:15.920 he recognizes this is someone that actually he could be in intimate relationship, he could be 550 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.920 in partnership with, he could be in community with, instead of things that didn't look and 551 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:27.120 operate like he did. And so this was a completion of sorts when they came together in doing this. 552 00:35:27.120 --> 00:35:33.120 And so anyway, I'm just painting that picture for you to maybe that helps you 553 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:42.720 create a better view of what this person is that you're looking for, and the intentionality of 554 00:35:42.720 --> 00:35:50.560 going for that, like pursuing that, pursuing whatever it takes to go find that, you know. 555 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:58.240 The scripture indicates that this is what the man's responsibility is in terms of like finding 556 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:05.520 he who finds a wife. So a man who finds a wife, it's not a husband that finds a wife, it's a man 557 00:36:06.640 --> 00:36:13.920 that finds a wife, not a woman, not someone who's just female, but a wife, 558 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:22.240 someone who's prepared herself to be a wife, in the sense of, you know, the fullness of that word, 559 00:36:22.240 --> 00:36:27.440 Proverbs 31 is a great sort of outline example of completion of what that kind of person is like, 560 00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:35.600 you know. So this is all coming together pretty good. I like kind of where our theme is going 561 00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:41.600 tonight. So you may have some reactions to some of the stuff we've said tonight, anything that 562 00:36:41.600 --> 00:36:46.240 just sparks your mind and your interest, your creativity, that says, look, you know, this really 563 00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:49.600 matches with something I've been thinking about, or this has been something that really 564 00:36:49.600 --> 00:36:54.480 triggers a thought of mine that says, you know, this is, I'm bearing witness with this. Anybody? 565 00:36:56.080 --> 00:36:59.280 I was just, I was just going to say quickly, like, 566 00:37:02.240 --> 00:37:11.120 I was going to say that I was, I used Google Photos just for my photos, and one of the 567 00:37:11.120 --> 00:37:16.560 cool things about that is I've got like, 14 years of photos that come up in reminders. 568 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:23.200 And I look back 10 years, and I think about what life was, what was going on in life 10 years ago. 569 00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:27.600 And things were very different, and yet they were much the same. 570 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:32.480 And I think that there's a, there's an interesting dynamic of like, 571 00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:44.320 being, you know, being distracted with good things or whatever, especially for some of the men that 572 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:52.400 get our value from our work, or intend to get value from our work. You know, you drive yourself 573 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:59.040 at this project or that project. And then before you know it, like the bigger pictures of life, 574 00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:05.360 the bigger parts of life can kind of, you know, slip aside. That's why this group is so important 575 00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:11.600 is because, in a sense, this puts a task on the more important things of life. Because the more 576 00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:15.040 important things of life are never the urgent things of life. The most important things in 577 00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:22.720 life are never urgent. And this is kind of like accountability and a task that like, it triggers 578 00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:29.920 the masculine mind to value it in a sense of like, it's like, okay, I want to do this. You know, 579 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:38.640 I can call, I can say I got something done by showing up and by participating and by being a 580 00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:48.640 part of this. Whereas, you know, like, yes, that's well, that's so well said. That really 581 00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:54.960 summarizes, if I was able to, you know, like, that's a real good summary of the goal that I 582 00:38:54.960 --> 00:39:03.600 would love for men to come to that point, which is, you know, if you want to replace the word 583 00:39:03.600 --> 00:39:12.240 of intentionality with prioritizing, whatever it is means to you, like that signals to you, 584 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:18.560 there's something I got to go do. That's why I asked the question last week with regard to, 585 00:39:18.560 --> 00:39:24.000 you know, what is, I think I said, like, what is in your way? What's the main thing that's in your 586 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.160 way? I think that's how I phrased it. I can't remember. Maybe you can remind me. But I was 587 00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:34.000 really putting forth the challenge, you know, to say, you know, first and foremost, for you to 588 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:42.480 admit on the call in front of the other guys, is your priority, is your prime goal, you know, 589 00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:51.200 to have this relationship, have this person find your spear mate? Is that your prime initiative, 590 00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.440 you know, for your life right now? Even though you have a career, you're working, you're doing 591 00:39:58.160 --> 00:39:59.760 the things you're doing, you know, to maintain. 592 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.880 and all that kind of stuff, but are you as intentional, 593 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.720 are you that focused and prioritizing, 594 00:40:05.720 --> 00:40:07.960 this is number one on the list, 595 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:11.820 is I'm doing whatever I can physically to prepare myself, 596 00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:14.560 spiritually to prepare myself, emotionally, 597 00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:17.560 and I'm showing up, I'm being present in places 598 00:40:17.560 --> 00:40:19.760 where my spirit mate can be found. 599 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.660 And a lot of guys said, yes, yes, 600 00:40:22.660 --> 00:40:25.480 after I explained it that way, and we went into depth, 601 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.500 and then a couple said, no, it's really not. 602 00:40:28.580 --> 00:40:29.420 And the thing about it was, 603 00:40:29.420 --> 00:40:33.740 is I wasn't trying to like challenge the right answer, 604 00:40:33.740 --> 00:40:36.580 I was really trying to challenge you to admit, 605 00:40:36.580 --> 00:40:41.060 to say, yeah, what I'm doing, the mindset that I have, 606 00:40:41.060 --> 00:40:45.460 where I'm at right now, and what's happening, 607 00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:50.140 I am prioritizing it or I'm not, okay? 608 00:40:50.140 --> 00:40:52.980 And then causing you to look at that and go, 609 00:40:52.980 --> 00:40:55.840 okay, do I need to make a decision here, 610 00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:00.800 one way or the other, do I want to prioritize it?

Good.

The best thing is 1079 01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:47.200 to not panic and concentrate because God's in control the whole time. 1080 01:02:47.200 --> 01:02:49.880 Because worrying and reacting is unbelieving. 1081 01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:52.200 It just makes things worse. 1082 01:02:52.200 --> 01:02:54.480 I tell you, it's a challenge. Trust me. 1083 01:02:54.480 --> 01:03:00.440 I have my moments almost every day to start complaining, 1084 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.840 getting frustrated. 1085 01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:07.440 Trust me, it's something I have to work on all the time. 1086 01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:10.800 I will confess that. Thank you for sharing, Hunter. 1087 01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:16.920 Anybody else have any inspiring ideas? 1088 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:17.960 I just want to blame Bob. 1089 01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:19.280 Bob got us going on all this. 1090 01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.120 So it's Bob's fault. 1091 01:03:22.120 --> 01:03:26.640 Well, I do have something to share, I guess. 1092 01:03:26.640 --> 01:03:35.360 One of the things is, you know, we have this ability to co-create with God 1093 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:38.800 and we have this ability to speak out. 1094 01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:40.800 And he wants us to do that so much. 1095 01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:44.320 I think much more than we have, you know, just in normal. 1096 01:03:44.680 --> 01:03:47.920 I think my word of encouragement to all of you would to be 1097 01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:52.720 as you see it with the Lord, just pray into it, 1098 01:03:53.080 --> 01:03:56.880 speak it out and align your heart and your will with that. 1099 01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:03.480 Because like Hunter was saying, fear and anxiety, that's a form of faith. 1100 01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:07.640 It's faith into the things that we don't want, those outcomes. 1101 01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:11.320 And so we recognize that, say, I have the mind of Christ. 1102 01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:16.040 Change to, OK, well, what is that 1103 01:04:16.640 --> 01:04:20.280 that alignment, the purpose, really the higher things? 1104 01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:24.640 I think that's what we're talking about here is what what's lasting. 1105 01:04:24.640 --> 01:04:28.920 What I was just thinking this other day, like in my life, throughout my day, 1106 01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.520 what actually matters, how much of it? 1107 01:04:31.520 --> 01:04:35.640 And it's like probably very little from me, from heaven's perspective. 1108 01:04:36.040 --> 01:04:38.400 You know, like we have our. 1109 01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:40.520 Where your treasure is, your heart is. 1110 01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:45.480 And I think and we actually can store up treasures in heaven 1111 01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:48.560 by doing these things that that really matter. 1112 01:04:49.120 --> 01:04:52.240 And it looks like it looks like love. 1113 01:04:52.240 --> 01:04:58.160 It looks like being generous and and elevating yourself 1114 01:04:58.160 --> 01:04:59.720 in a way in this world where you. 1115 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.440 are able and positioned to give more. 1116 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:08.940 And so I think this whole entrepreneurial thing is, 1117 01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:11.640 I mean, anymore, right? 1118 01:05:11.640 --> 01:05:14.400 You know, we've been conditioned to go to school, 1119 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:16.840 do the thing and just stay in your job 1120 01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:18.400 and that's not working anymore. 1121 01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:20.320 And so we need other streams of income. 1122 01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:21.320 We need to be innovative. 1123 01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:24.000 We need to, you know, figure out what's working, what's not. 1124 01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:26.240 And all that takes time and energy. 1125 01:05:26.240 --> 01:05:30.760 At the same time, yeah, we gotta, you know, 1126 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:34.360 figure out what is our one message, you know, 1127 01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:36.120 what is our one purpose? 1128 01:05:36.120 --> 01:05:40.560 And out of that, I think we can discover modalities 1129 01:05:40.560 --> 01:05:44.040 and curriculums that we can, you know, 1130 01:05:44.040 --> 01:05:46.880 share with each other and frameworks and stuff 1131 01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:48.840 that we can discuss these things. 1132 01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:50.360 So. 1133 01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:53.240 I think that's what most of my prayers sound like 1134 01:05:53.240 --> 01:05:58.240 is an activation and a speaking forth of what I'm seeing, 1135 01:05:58.240 --> 01:06:00.360 either I need or I'm looking for, 1136 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.120 or I'm trying to partner with God on. 1137 01:06:03.120 --> 01:06:08.000 And so I start typically with what I'm looking at 1138 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:10.800 or what I'm wanting to see change. 1139 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.760 Like, Lord, I know that this needs to change in me. 1140 01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:17.920 So I see this as, you know, 1141 01:06:18.560 --> 01:06:23.720 a deficit at this moment. 1142 01:06:23.720 --> 01:06:26.400 But so I want to speak into that to create, 1143 01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:28.480 to fill in the hole of the deficit 1144 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:30.280 and then start to build on a foundation 1145 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.120 of what should be there instead of like the negative going forward. 1146 01:06:34.120 --> 01:06:38.080 So a lot of my prayers are trying to speak into that 1147 01:06:38.080 --> 01:06:39.640 and speak into the situation. 1148 01:06:39.640 --> 01:06:41.600 And then I'll speak some detail into that 1149 01:06:41.600 --> 01:06:43.160 and just talk with the Lord about that. 1150 01:06:43.160 --> 01:06:46.240 And that's a prayer moment for me 1151 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:48.400 to be able to say those things. 1152 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:49.920 And then I always caveat, 1153 01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:54.880 so Lord, I don't want to speak out of my own flesh and desire. 1154 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.960 What I think of, what I think the solution is, 1155 01:06:57.960 --> 01:06:59.880 I know you have greater solutions than me. 1156 01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:01.440 So I don't want to partner with your solutions. 1157 01:07:01.440 --> 01:07:02.680 You just show me now. 1158 01:07:02.680 --> 01:07:07.400 Now, you know, teach me, show me, heal me, grow me. 1159 01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:11.320 You know, this is what the prayer that's part of the permission. 1160 01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:14.920 Yeah. 1161 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:19.480 So that's part of like partnering with God in prayer 1162 01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:20.600 to be able to speak forth. 1163 01:07:20.600 --> 01:07:24.680 And I thank you for sharing that because that's so, so good. 1164 01:07:24.680 --> 01:07:28.560 And I received that. 1165 01:07:28.560 --> 01:07:30.640 I've been really challenged by that too. 1166 01:07:30.640 --> 01:07:33.240 There were seasons in my life where I was like really dealing 1167 01:07:33.240 --> 01:07:36.280 with like external things that were, I mean, 1168 01:07:36.280 --> 01:07:39.880 they looked like mountains and just like getting out there 1169 01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:42.600 and just like I would just like pace back and forth 1170 01:07:42.600 --> 01:07:45.440 and pray in the spirit or confess over the situation 1171 01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:46.880 or over the person. 1172 01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:51.880 And there too, pursuing a relationship is not that urgent, 1173 01:07:54.080 --> 01:07:57.920 but I'm realizing that that's what I need to be doing. 1174 01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.960 And like, so let's actually, you know, have started that. 1175 01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.640 I didn't do it this morning, but I have started to, 1176 01:08:04.640 --> 01:08:07.240 you know, pursue it more like in that manner. 1177 01:08:08.160 --> 01:08:10.960 And yeah, I mean, you know, like it's easy 1178 01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:13.720 with like with Bob, Bob mentioned this as well too. 1179 01:08:13.720 --> 01:08:16.760 It's easy to like dismiss all the things that like, 1180 01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:17.760 you get to this point where you're like, 1181 01:08:17.760 --> 01:08:19.200 you realize like nothing matters. 1182 01:08:19.200 --> 01:08:20.840 So to think like, oh, they're like, you know, 1183 01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:23.319 the important things or all the things 1184 01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:25.600 that I've been concentrating are like not important, 1185 01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:29.200 you know, and you just, it's easy to go into sort of like, 1186 01:08:29.200 --> 01:08:34.200 you know, the sort of like nothing matters sort of feeling. 1187 01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:36.240 And then it's like, you know, you know, 1188 01:08:36.240 --> 01:08:39.080 then you just like give up sort of thing. 1189 01:08:39.080 --> 01:08:40.720 So there's that part of it, 1190 01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:43.840 like prioritizing what actually matters, you know, 1191 01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:47.000 but it's easy sort of to default into like nothing matters, 1192 01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:49.279 but then it's, then you have to sort of come back 1193 01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:50.960 from that a little bit and go contend for, okay, 1194 01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:52.479 what does matter? 1195 01:08:52.479 --> 01:08:56.160 And then prioritizing the what does matter. 1196 01:08:56.160 --> 01:08:57.960 And I think you're right, Bob. 1197 01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:02.000 I think that as we begin to use our words, 1198 01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:05.279 when we prioritize and get our focus on what matters, 1199 01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:09.319 we can begin to materialize and bring into reality 1200 01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:14.000 what matters through our confession, through our words, 1201 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:18.840 through our faith and resting in what it is 1202 01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:21.319 that God is saying and letting our mouth, 1203 01:09:21.319 --> 01:09:23.439 letting our words line up with that. 1204 01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:26.000 So good. 1205 01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:27.720 Yeah, the tongue is a rudder, right? 1206 01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:32.120 I think a lot of my life I've been speaking over myself 1207 01:09:32.160 --> 01:09:35.800 and different things, a lot of left turns. 1208 01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:38.439 I just can go in circles, you know? 1209 01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:41.200 And I feel like the promises that I was receiving 1210 01:09:41.200 --> 01:09:46.200 in at 20s, you know, it's like I've been in the wilderness. 1211 01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:49.080 And then, you know, finally I'm like, okay, 1212 01:09:49.080 --> 01:09:53.240 I think I'm getting closer to the promised land, you know? 1213 01:09:53.240 --> 01:09:56.600 And so I'm just like prophesying what it looks like. 1214 01:09:56.600 --> 01:09:59.320 And yeah, that's important. 1215 01:09:59.320 --> 01:10:00.160 Yeah. 1216 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.700 So just stewarding our daily, what, what do I have for today? 1217 01:10:03.700 --> 01:10:04.920 I have to steward this day. 1218 01:10:05.300 --> 01:10:06.560 How, how can I break it apart? 1219 01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:09.580 Like what's where, you know, my attention is important. 1220 01:10:09.580 --> 01:10:16.140 And, um, you know, before you can get into the next, um, the next season, it's 1221 01:10:16.140 --> 01:10:18.300 like, I think that's what the Lord is dealing with me right now. 1222 01:10:18.300 --> 01:10:21.500 It's like, I have opportunity now to jump into a whole different way to 1223 01:10:21.500 --> 01:10:27.660 make money and that's great, but can you, can you, uh, steward what I have 1224 01:10:27.660 --> 01:10:31.600 for you right now and do it in a kingdom fashion and not just say, 1225 01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:33.420 Oh, you got short timer attitude. 1226 01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:38.040 You know, you're not really here with us and deliver like it matters. 1227 01:10:39.480 --> 01:10:40.040 It's challenging. 1228 01:10:40.440 --> 01:10:43.960 If you want to bring change in your life, guys, I think one of the 1229 01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:49.020 foremost ways to do that is to start, start speaking it just in your heart, 1230 01:10:49.020 --> 01:10:52.800 speaking it out of your mouth and just speaking with the Lord, you know, I'm 1231 01:10:52.800 --> 01:10:58.000 encountering things right now that, um, become distractions to me and I know 1232 01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:03.720 they're distractions and I just, I see them, I call them out, I call them out. 1233 01:11:05.080 --> 01:11:07.860 And I just, I'm like, I'm like, Lord, this is happening. 1234 01:11:08.100 --> 01:11:11.780 Like, this is a distraction, you know, like I'm calling this out. 1235 01:11:11.780 --> 01:11:12.540 I'm praying about it. 1236 01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.580 And then I'm expecting the reciprocation of that. 1237 01:11:16.320 --> 01:11:20.520 I'm expecting him to handle it because he makes a way for escape. 1238 01:11:21.180 --> 01:11:25.100 He makes, you know, when you're, when you're basically going like, this is, 1239 01:11:25.140 --> 01:11:27.540 this is not, this is not who I am. 1240 01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:28.660 This is a distraction. 1241 01:11:29.660 --> 01:11:37.020 And, um, I'm calling it out and then I'm asking God to like change my passion or 1242 01:11:37.020 --> 01:11:42.000 my taste or my, whatever it is that, that for, for that, and I'm allowing God to 1243 01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:47.760 really do that work in me instead of me have to struggle to try to fight that for 1244 01:11:47.780 --> 01:11:48.620 myself. 1245 01:11:50.420 --> 01:11:52.660 I allow God to fight my battles in that way. 1246 01:11:53.620 --> 01:11:57.420 So just a little tidbit there at the end here, because we're, 1247 01:11:58.060 --> 01:12:00.120 can I ask a question in overtime? 1248 01:12:00.120 --> 01:12:00.960 Overtime? 1249 01:12:01.300 --> 01:12:02.140 Yeah. 1250 01:12:02.500 --> 01:12:07.380 What do you think about that type of confession and asking God to open and 1251 01:12:07.380 --> 01:12:09.740 change hearts with respect to like our own heart, 1252 01:12:10.140 --> 01:12:12.780 maybe like in the process of the marriage decision? 1253 01:12:13.340 --> 01:12:16.500 Cause right now I'm a whole lot more intimidated by the marriage decision that 1254 01:12:16.500 --> 01:12:23.920 I am the life commitment and like, you know, like, like, like God, God, if you, 1255 01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:26.200 if you have something here, would you open my heart? 1256 01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:27.680 Would you close my heart? 1257 01:12:29.240 --> 01:12:30.080 You know? 1258 01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:32.320 Yeah, no. 1259 01:12:32.320 --> 01:12:36.160 If you give permission to God, you hold the key. 1260 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.440 If you give permission to God to do what he wants to do in you, he will do it. 1261 01:12:42.780 --> 01:12:48.020 And he will do it in a way that is powerful and gracious and all the ways God's is the 1262 01:12:48.020 --> 01:12:49.820 God is in all of his character. 1263 01:12:50.140 --> 01:12:52.580 And if it's outside of that, then it's, it's not God. 1264 01:12:54.700 --> 01:13:01.180 And so if you're giving permission for God to, you know, to unlock something 1265 01:13:01.180 --> 01:13:06.300 that's, you know, trapped inside of you or whatever, like I, like if you're 1266 01:13:06.300 --> 01:13:09.740 looking at, and I know your situation a little bit, Chris, but if you're looking 1267 01:13:09.740 --> 01:13:12.620 at, like, there isn't any reason why I wouldn't, wouldn't go for this. 1268 01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:15.440 I don't have any like red flags per se. 1269 01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:17.400 I don't have like, this is all on paper. 1270 01:13:17.400 --> 01:13:19.520 This is like, this is what's supposed to happen. 1271 01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:21.100 And we're here at this point. 1272 01:13:21.100 --> 01:13:24.680 I'm here at the, like the decision point and I could push the button, but it 1273 01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:26.120 can't push the button for some reason. 1274 01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:31.520 So Lord helped me push this button, you know, and give me this, like, 1275 01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:33.960 let, let this really come about. 1276 01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:38.040 And sometimes it is a sort of a do it afraid situations. 1277 01:13:38.420 --> 01:13:41.860 It's a step of faith, you know, whatever analogy you want to put on that, you 1278 01:13:41.860 --> 01:13:44.620 know, there's, there's a lot of things that can go on depending on who you are 1279 01:13:44.620 --> 01:13:46.700 and where you're at, but I mean, yeah, absolutely. 1280 01:13:46.700 --> 01:13:51.900 If you're giving God permission to help you may do the right thing, so to speak. 1281 01:13:53.100 --> 01:13:53.740 Absolutely. 1282 01:13:53.740 --> 01:13:54.180 He will. 1283 01:13:55.420 --> 01:13:57.500 And it is perfectly scriptural and okay. 1284 01:13:57.500 --> 01:14:02.260 And wonderful to do that because, you know, it's just like, it's like, 1285 01:14:03.420 --> 01:14:06.220 it's similar to in this way. 1286 01:14:06.720 --> 01:14:12.600 Sometimes it's like, sometimes we want to change, you know, like if you have 1287 01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:15.960 bad behavior, like I want to change and I have a willingness to, okay, well 1288 01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:16.960 we can work with your will. 1289 01:14:17.400 --> 01:14:19.600 Sometimes you don't have the will to change. 1290 01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:25.040 And so your prayer then becomes Lord help me, uh, you know, help 1291 01:14:25.040 --> 01:14:26.480 me be willing to be willing. 1292 01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:28.180 You know what I'm saying? 1293 01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:29.800 It's like, you step back from that. 1294 01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:30.940 It's like, I'm not really willing. 1295 01:14:30.940 --> 01:14:34.620 I'm not really, I don't really want to say, well then your prayer then becomes 1296 01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:40.560 Lord help me in whatever way that you do to help me be willing to be willing. 1297 01:14:41.240 --> 01:14:41.760 Right? 1298 01:14:43.200 --> 01:14:45.520 So it's, that's what I'm saying is that it's akin to that. 1299 01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:48.720 It's like your prayer just becomes one step back from where it is that you're 1300 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:49.160 stuck. 1301 01:14:51.180 --> 01:14:53.280 I don't know where, if it is you're stuck, right? 1302 01:14:53.400 --> 01:14:56.120 You've each one of you asked yourself this question, like, where am I stuck? 1303 01:14:57.360 --> 01:14:58.320 I'm stuck on this one thing. 1304 01:14:58.320 --> 01:14:59.120 I'm stuck on this thing. 1305 01:14:59.120 --> 01:15:00.000 I can't get away from. 1306 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.640 or whatever it is. Lord, I need your help to get me unstuck. Either create the desire in me to 1307 01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:12.640 want to do it, like of my own volition with your help, or help me to be willing to be made 1308 01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:18.560 willing. Whatever one step back is from where you're stuck, that's where your prayer is. 1309 01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:23.440 That's where your confession is. That's where your words and the power of Holy Spirit, 1310 01:15:23.440 --> 01:15:28.800 you speaking them out and just being honest into saying, this is where I'm stuck. I can't get past 1311 01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:34.160 this thing. I need your help. I have to have your help. God, I want to do what it is you want me to 1312 01:15:34.160 --> 01:15:40.000 do. I want to be in your perfect will. I want to do, but I'm stuck right here. I have to have, 1313 01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:49.040 I demand just like a good son. I just have to, I need your help. You're not begging. You're not 1314 01:15:49.040 --> 01:15:54.320 doing it from a begging standpoint, but you're doing from a contending standpoint. Like I need 1315 01:15:54.320 --> 01:16:00.880 this God. And this is where God's like, okay, here's, here's, here's a man who is literally 1316 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:08.160 stepping out in faith. And what does it say? What does the scripture say about faith? 1317 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:17.360 Faith that good deeds is dead. We walk by faith, not by sight or feeling. 1318 01:16:17.360 --> 01:16:21.920 Faith, but not by sight. Here's the other thing. It's impossible without faith. It's impossible to 1319 01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:28.640 please God. You are literally standing in the moment of pleasing God when you're stepping out 1320 01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:37.040 in faith, when you're activating your faith. And I don't mean that in a, just like a selfish, 1321 01:16:37.040 --> 01:16:42.720 you know, like name it and claim it, grab and blab it sort of situation. I'm talking about like 1322 01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:47.840 real stuff where you're like, look, I'm literally trying to fulfill your purpose. I'm trying to 1323 01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:52.320 literally stand in sonship here. And I've got something in my way. I need this obstacle removed. 1324 01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:57.760 Mark 2, 24, what does it say? Stand this mountain and be thou removed, 1325 01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.320 be thou cast into the sea. You can literally move a mountain out of your way 1326 01:17:05.120 --> 01:17:13.280 by, by speaking and articulating what you need in a moment of faith. That is so powerful. 1327 01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:21.440 Hey, Chris, I have a question. Like, what'd you mean by, you said like a life partner or marriage 1328 01:17:22.240 --> 01:17:29.680 or like, are you like, like the decision to take that further, like legal step or something or 1329 01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:37.120 where, if you don't know, I was saying, I was saying like, God, like, would you help me to 1330 01:17:38.080 --> 01:17:44.240 love the person? Like, would you guide who I love? Like, I mean, I, it's, this isn't, this is a 1331 01:17:44.240 --> 01:17:49.840 process that's relational. There's like red flags, green flags, or the things that were called into 1332 01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:54.000 our life and the things that the people we interact with are called into. And then there's just a 1333 01:17:54.000 --> 01:18:00.320 matter of, do you want to do life with this person or not? You know, do you, do you enjoy being with 1334 01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:06.880 you know, do you, do you enjoy being with this person or does this person just make you always 1335 01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:15.440 feel on edge whenever you're around them? Yeah. Yeah. God, would you open my heart to the right 1336 01:18:15.440 --> 01:18:21.200 person? Yeah. Now I will tell you, there are several times in my marriage, in both of my 1337 01:18:21.200 --> 01:18:26.560 marriages where I came to myself and I said, you know what, I want to love my wife more. 1338 01:18:27.120 --> 01:18:31.360 And like, it's kind of like, oh, I lost that love and feeling sort of thing. Like, you know, 1339 01:18:31.360 --> 01:18:33.840 we're just married and we're doing things and all that kind of stuff. And it just seems, 1340 01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.880 seemed like there's just like, I want to like be passionate. Like I want to feel it. I want to be 1341 01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:45.840 emotional, you know? And I'm like, Lord, you know, help me to fall in love with my wife again. 1342 01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:52.560 You know, in whatever way that is, like, like what I, what do I got to do? What do I got to 1343 01:18:52.640 --> 01:18:57.120 do? What do I got to feel? What do I, you know, like, you know, help me do that. So absolutely 1344 01:18:57.120 --> 01:19:03.840 like in the sense of like love, obviously your relationship grows and love grows, you know, 1345 01:19:03.840 --> 01:19:09.040 type of thing. So where you were like in relationship 10 years ago with your wife or 1346 01:19:09.040 --> 01:19:13.520 with a person is not the same as it was today. It's, it's, it's deeper, it's more meaningful. 1347 01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:20.720 There's more life you've lived. There's all this sort of things. Right. And, um, and so love grows, 1348 01:19:21.440 --> 01:19:26.480 but, you know, like what you're talking about, like you need this thing, like, I need this, 1349 01:19:26.480 --> 01:19:32.560 I need this, like, I need this emotion. I need this sort of like, like unction, if you will, 1350 01:19:33.200 --> 01:19:39.360 to like pursue and go into this opportunity, you know, I don't want to spoil or waste 1351 01:19:40.800 --> 01:19:44.400 something that God may be presenting to me as the answer to what I'm looking for. 1352 01:19:45.440 --> 01:19:48.960 So, Lord, that could even be a prayer. Lord, don't let me spoil this opportunity. 1353 01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:56.000 What needs to happen here? Help my heart. What does it help out my unbelief? Right? 1354 01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:02.420 Oh, yeah, absolutely. 1355 01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:06.680 Help thou my unbelief. 1356 01:20:08.280 --> 01:20:09.220 Show me the way. 1357 01:20:10.040 --> 01:20:11.920 And God's like, I've just been waiting for you 1358 01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:13.200 to invite me in. 1359 01:20:13.200 --> 01:20:14.200 Give him permission. 1360 01:20:15.400 --> 01:20:16.680 All right, guys, we're over. 1361 01:20:16.680 --> 01:20:18.300 Father God, everyone's gonna pray for us. 1362 01:20:18.300 --> 01:20:20.080 Father God, I thank you for each one of these men. 1363 01:20:20.080 --> 01:20:21.280 I bless them. 1364 01:20:21.280 --> 01:20:25.660 Man, I wholeheartedly, mightily bless each one of them. 1365 01:20:25.660 --> 01:20:27.240 I want them to feel you, God. 1366 01:20:27.240 --> 01:20:30.940 I want them to know you in a greater way. 1367 01:20:30.940 --> 01:20:32.340 I want them to have breakthrough. 1368 01:20:32.340 --> 01:20:35.180 I want them to have just the light bulb moment. 1369 01:20:35.180 --> 01:20:38.740 I want them to go forward in all the areas of their life, 1370 01:20:38.740 --> 01:20:40.980 especially in relationship, but in career, 1371 01:20:40.980 --> 01:20:44.860 and in purpose, and in mission, and all the stuff, Lord. 1372 01:20:44.860 --> 01:20:46.340 I just bless them in that way. 1373 01:20:46.340 --> 01:20:47.620 I just speak life over them, 1374 01:20:47.620 --> 01:20:49.120 speak healing and health over them, 1375 01:20:49.120 --> 01:20:52.060 and wealth over them in Jesus' name. 1376 01:20:52.060 --> 01:20:52.900 And I thank you, Lord, 1377 01:20:52.900 --> 01:20:55.460 that we're gonna get breakthrough this week 1378 01:20:55.480 --> 01:20:57.880 as we contend to be our best self. 1379 01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:00.400 In Jesus' name, we pray, amen.
