WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.480
Hey Robin, how are you doing? Oh there you're muted. Hey Holly. Can you hear me

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:25.040
now? Yeah. How are you feeling not being in Portugal right now? I'm good. I'm good.

3
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:34.600
There's no way we were gonna go. Been there, done that. Yes. Yeah we did. It's good. Hey

4
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:52.800
Marcello. Hey everybody. Good day to everyone. I'm good. I'm good. How is everyone? Good.

5
00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:00.080
Okay well I guess we'll get started. As we all know we're gonna do this weekly scorecard

6
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:05.440
again. I'll put it in the chat. As we also figured out you can't fill it out on the scorecard

7
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:10.200
but I will figure that out eventually. But just so that you are able to like think it

8
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.960
through while we're doing it. I'm gonna set our timer. Looking at what was your wins from

9
00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:23.720
this last week? What were your blocks from this last week? And then my goal would be

10
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:30.120
after today Bruce is gonna talk to us a little bit. My goal would be that after Bruce is

11
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.240
done talking that you guys can kind of set. Unless you have something that you're like

12
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:40.080
I know I want to work on this this next week. And you already have that in your mind that

13
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:44.680
after Bruce is talking. Kind of how last week Lindsay gave us homework of like look at your

14
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.200
prophetic words. Create your I am statement. That type of thing. Whereas that would have

15
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:56.480
been our goal for this next week. Does that make sense? So keeping our next week goal

16
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.280
for the end of the call to kind of so you can take whatever Bruce has said and plan

17
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.680
forward. So okay Bruce is gonna play some music and I'm gonna set a timer for three

18
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:17.320
minutes. And if you need more time you can wave at me. If you're all done tell me in

19
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:21.120
the chat that you're done. Oh it doesn't let me add a timer because Bruce is the main host.

20
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:41.240
Oh sure I can do it. There we go. Can you guys see that? Oh it's backwards. Yeah you're

21
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.160
good. Okay. Three minute timer.

share it now. All right. Well, last, last week, I had a stuck

53
00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:09.640
that was leasing to a 933. One of the houses that I have. And I

54
00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:15.200
have some people that well, they haven't signed the lease yet.

55
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.120
But they're right there. They filled out the application, they

56
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.720
got their money, moving in on the first, so I'm going to

57
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:26.560
believe that that one is leased up. And then also, what I've

58
00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.680
been trying to buy for a while has to go through probate. And I

59
00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:36.720
cut a deal with the with the seller today that I could lease

60
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.840
it for 50 bucks a month until he gets the probate done. So I can

61
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.600
go ahead and get started cleaning it up and getting stuff

62
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.800
done. So so that's a that's a commitment to get that lease

63
00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:49.880
option sign and to get that lease sign.

64
00:10:52.280 --> 00:10:53.760
Awesome. Very cool.

65
00:10:54.760 --> 00:10:59.280
And then I got one stuck. What am I stuck? My commitment for

66
00:10:59.280 --> 00:11:02.400
last week was to start the pad on the new home. I'm stuck on

67
00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:08.480
the pad. I the guy that's supposed to start Thursday, he

68
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.800
called me said his truck dump truck broke down. I can't get

69
00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:19.040
him on the phone. The old story. So that's my stuff for this week

70
00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:21.000
is to get that unstuck.

71
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.080
Get that unstuck.

72
00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:23.880
Lame.

73
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:28.840
Bruce, do you want to?

74
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.200
Yeah, get away. That's cool. Yeah, great to hear from where

75
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.400
you guys are at. And I know I was just watching some of your

76
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:42.000
content and just like jumping into the feed again and tribe

77
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.800
and then also seeing some of your stuff on social media. I

78
00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:47.640
think I follow everybody on social media. So I saw I know

79
00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:50.360
Jennifer's not here, but she passed 1000 subscribers on

80
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.240
Instagram, which is really cool. And then, yeah, just saw

81
00:11:54.280 --> 00:11:57.440
it's really cool that you guys are keeping moving things. I

82
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.080
know it's sometimes it feels like it's start and stop like

83
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.240
it's a sprint and you do different things. We're just

84
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:08.320
talking about this in our team is like, when you're working on

85
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.920
any kind of business, everything is kind of a bet. Like you're

86
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:13.560
doing these little like, hey, I'm going to try this idea for

87
00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:16.120
a couple weeks for a month, whatever. And I'm going to try

88
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.640
this and then you're going to try something else and try

89
00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:21.320
something else. And there's not like this. Sure. I mean, there's

90
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.440
lots of different tactics. And there's all kinds of things that

91
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.720
you can go and try to achieve those things. But yeah, just

92
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.120
give yourself a lot of flexibility to experiment and

93
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.680
try. And I know Marcella said she's like setting up her faith

94
00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:38.720
tribe, getting that all set up and get it listed. Yeah, just

95
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.440
like that's another little, like burst of, you know, sprint that

96
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.600
you're going to run and see get that working and then just see,

97
00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:47.240
see, once you're done with that, then you can make the next step

98
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.960
and so forth. So really, like today, I was going to touch on

99
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.600
some like, mindset stuff as well, just around building your

100
00:12:56.640 --> 00:13:00.360
kingdom business. And so thinking about how we've talked

101
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.440
a little bit about collaborating with Christ, we're yoked with

102
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.800
Christ and and how we're really called to multiply and and build

103
00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:14.400
what the Lord has given us. He has given us so much. I like to

104
00:13:14.400 --> 00:13:17.240
think of is like kingdom capital, right? It's there's

105
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.960
there's things that the Lord has given you and and assets the

106
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.040
Lord has put into your hands, which can be your unique

107
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:28.320
abilities, the things that the skills, the life experience, the

108
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.360
testimonies, all the stuff that Lord's put is builds up this

109
00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:34.200
amazing kingdom capital. And then it's kind of how do we go

110
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.960
on this journey with Christ when we're yoked with Christ on this

111
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.080
adventure, and deploy and use this capital to go and multiply

112
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.960
things on the earth. This is the idea of being very much a

113
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.320
kingdom business and not a Christian business. Like we're

114
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.680
not hopefully hoping that you guys are going to go create, you

115
00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:54.800
know, Christian social media accounts, we really want kingdom

116
00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:57.600
coming down and sharing and bringing kingdom to people's

117
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.960
lives on their phones where they're hanging out all the time.

118
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.640
And I think, yeah, there's kind of these different phases, we're

119
00:14:07.640 --> 00:14:09.400
kind of shifting our mindset. And this is sort of the

120
00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:13.440
progression as well of kind of how, you know, we've been taught

121
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.920
like, when you're thinking of just being an owner of a

122
00:14:16.920 --> 00:14:20.040
business, there's this idea of like, it's mine, like, I hold

123
00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:22.600
the thing, it's up to me, I'm going to hustle, I'm going to

124
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.600
grind. This is the whole startup culture. And a lot of people

125
00:14:26.640 --> 00:14:28.760
that, you know, you see on social media, it's just the

126
00:14:28.760 --> 00:14:32.200
hustle, the grind, you know, just getting up at 4am crazy,

127
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:36.080
like, you know, routines and stuff to achieve all these crazy

128
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.600
results. And it's all up to me, like, I'm the one who has to do

129
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.680
everything. And then, you know, there's sort of the Christian

130
00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:44.520
version of this, which is like, hey, I'm going to be a good

131
00:14:44.520 --> 00:14:46.880
steward, like, Lord's given me this, and I'm going to go

132
00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:50.280
steward it well. And there's some, there's some, something

133
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.800
good about that. But it can easily switch into very

134
00:14:53.800 --> 00:14:58.960
religious framework on that, because you, you essentially are

135
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.280
like, cool, God, like, I've got this, I'm going to go do good things with it. And so just being a

136
00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:10.960
steward, and I think really where what I see is like this kingdom collaboration happening is that

137
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:16.480
you're really a co creator, like you're innovating together with Christ in the moment, you're

138
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:22.000
actually like yoked with Christ in this really cool way where you get to go and do the thing.

139
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:27.920
So I, because we have AI, I had this image, so you guys can have a good visual of what I'm talking

140
00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:34.640
about. This is like pretty much how it goes. This is kind of a funny picture. But this is like,

141
00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:40.960
in case you're wondering, like, you're the small ox, right? We've got Christ is this giant,

142
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:46.240
you know, yeah, we're calling pulling this cart called your business. And this is this is like

143
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.800
how we should imagine it. And the cool thing is like, when we take a step forward, this massive,

144
00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:58.880
powerful force like moves forward with us. And so it's not, it's definitely not the like Jesus

145
00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:02.640
sitting on the sidelines or sitting in the cart, like telling you what to do. And you just got to

146
00:16:02.640 --> 00:16:08.400
like pull as hard as you can. That's not it at all. This is a collab like you guys are kind of

147
00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:14.080
working together in step together. And I think the Lord's really loves this idea of friendship

148
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:20.720
and relationship because we are if it was just an instructions and go and do this thing, and then

149
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:26.480
you go off and execute. That's one relationship you could have, it would be very sad if that was

150
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.080
like, how Hannah and I are four year old, like would go and work on something with me. If we

151
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.560
were doing a project together, it wouldn't just be me giving her a list of 10 things to go do. And

152
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:41.920
then coming back a week later and checking on her like that's borderline, just like an average boss

153
00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:46.240
would do that, right? Definitely not a father and definitely not someone who loves that person

154
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.840
dearly. You would want to do it with him. Hey, Hannah, like, what do you think we should do

155
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.120
about this? Like, do you think we should do this? Do you think we should do that? Okay, we've got

156
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.040
this problem. Isn't it fun to solve problems? Like, let's go in and like, figure out how we're

157
00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:04.000
going to solve this problem together. You know, and obviously, I know the answer most of the time,

158
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:11.280
but if the goal is for us to do this together, and to go along the journey together, right? And I

159
00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:15.760
think a lot of times we're like, we have these imaginary destinations that are like, well, when I

160
00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:20.400
hit this amount of followers, when I hit this, when my group exists, when I have this many book

161
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:25.119
sales, when I have this, when I hit this revenue goal, you know, then we've arrived and then I can

162
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:32.000
kind of pick my next goal. And that's just, you know, it's not a good way, fun way to live because

163
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.240
you miss out on all these moments and the relationship and the journey that you're going on.

164
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.520
And so, just as we're thinking about this from like a kingdom perspective, like as kingdom

165
00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:47.440
entrepreneurs, not Christians in business, right? I think everybody's, we've talked a lot about this.

166
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.320
It's just trying to putting this, it's taking on like sort of a different mindset. And it's taking

167
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:57.920
this thing of partnership and thinking of how we're doing this as if God was like a partner

168
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:04.240
in this. And the first thing to kind of realize and to admit is like, hey, I have a kingdom business.

169
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.680
Like I am a kingdom business owner. If you guys want to take a second, like drop that in the chat.

170
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.840
Just like Marcella said, like when you read something out loud or you say it, or you write it,

171
00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:16.960
like put in the chat, like I am a kingdom business owner because all of you are. The Lord has

172
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:23.040
gifted you guys with tons of inventory and a ton of assets that you can now go and deploy.

173
00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:29.600
And some of it's going to look like actual dollars. Some of it looks like a career experience.

174
00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:34.640
Some of it looks like the inheritance that you got from your parents if they were in ministry.

175
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:39.040
Some of it looks like, you know, friendships that you have, a network that you have,

176
00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:44.640
coaching groups that you're part of. Like this group is an asset you have people cheering you

177
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:53.440
on available to answer questions and help you get unstuck. And so you've been building up

178
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.440
these assets and you have a way to now deploy that and partner. So one thing that like

179
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.920
a little exercise that I would encourage you guys to all do this week is to take a little

180
00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:11.600
inventory of all these assets the Lord has actually given you. You know, just start to

181
00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:15.760
list things out. What is the gifts? Like what are some of the stories? Like I have some of your

182
00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:20.800
assets are just crazy testimony. Some of that's like a whole thing in itself. Like some of you

183
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:26.080
have specific tech skills or you have specific business skills or you have coaching or counseling

184
00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:30.320
or therapy. Like you have all these different unique skills that Lord's put into your hands

185
00:19:30.320 --> 00:19:36.960
and it's different than like, well, that's my day job. I do this very boring coding thing over

186
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.200
here that doesn't relate to anything in ministry. But then I've got this other crazy testimony. I've

187
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.520
got the thing Lord's like working all of this together for your good, right? It's not just

188
00:19:45.520 --> 00:19:52.880
like isolated things. So once you start to put them all down, starting to create that list of

189
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.480
assets, it's just helpful again to reflect and be like, Oh wow, I do actually have this. I do

190
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.000
actually have that. Versus like sometimes we have

191
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.020
this like one metric and we're like, how much money did we make or how many

192
00:20:04.020 --> 00:20:04.720
followers do I have?

193
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.840
It's like this one metric.

194
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.960
And that doesn't really give you a good perspective of what's actually going on.

195
00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:16.360
Um, and so, and also when you do this, um, I find personally, like the, the sort

196
00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:23.240
of the, the, um, like one way that you can sort of engage the Holy spirit, engage,

197
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:28.280
uh, uh, the Lord in this process is through me, for me, it's, it's journaling.

198
00:20:28.280 --> 00:20:31.720
Sometimes you go on a walk, some of you guys, maybe it's, um, putting on some

199
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:37.080
worship, maybe you got to kind of get into, um, this abiding resting, um, space.

200
00:20:37.520 --> 00:20:44.840
Uh, and so, um, I think that, uh, so for me, it's like writing, like I have, um,

201
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.440
a physical journal, like right here.

202
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.120
So this is all my like stuff that I'm doing this week.

203
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:55.160
And so I have a page where I just literally sit, um, and I have this, it's,

204
00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:59.800
it's really great because it's, it's this entire, like two-sided blank page where I

205
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.040
just sit and have coffee, um, with the Lord.

206
00:21:02.040 --> 00:21:03.560
This is like a Graham cook thing.

207
00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:08.520
So like, he has, uh, these like 3am wake ups and he'll make, uh, the Lord a cup of

208
00:21:08.520 --> 00:21:11.200
tea and then he makes a cup of tea and then I have tea together.

209
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:14.680
And then he's, he always jokes that the Lord's never had his, he's always had to

210
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.320
drink the second cup, uh, because he never finishes it.

211
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:18.280
So, you know what I'm saying?

212
00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:23.200
So have something a little ritual like that, because if I was working with.

213
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:28.200
Um, like, let's say, let's say I was needing to do a bunch of marketing and I

214
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.280
was like, uh, I was going to, you guys, you know, you know, Pedro, well, let's,

215
00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:33.920
let's, let's pick Steven Diaz as a, as a good friend of ours.

216
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.040
Awesome at marketing stuff.

217
00:21:36.040 --> 00:21:38.120
I'm like, Hey Steven, we're going to go into business together.

218
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.560
And he's done multiple eight figures in their business.

219
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:43.440
And I'm like, Hey, I got all the tech stuff.

220
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.680
So he's like, cool, let's go together.

221
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.600
You're going to handle the marketing.

222
00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:47.120
Steven, I'm going to do all the tech stuff.

223
00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.800
Let's do it.

224
00:21:47.800 --> 00:21:49.720
So I was like, Hey, can we, can we meet?

225
00:21:49.760 --> 00:21:51.400
Like, can we have, like, what are we going to do?

226
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.600
Let's, let's, let's get in the room and like build some stuff.

227
00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:53.960
Right.

228
00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:58.520
And so I would like push really hard to get into like a connection of

229
00:21:58.520 --> 00:22:01.160
having a conversation with him.

230
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:02.480
Like, okay, let's pick his brain.

231
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:02.920
Okay.

232
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.480
And also like, I'm not waiting up at night, like wondering if

233
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.440
Steven's going to like pull off marketing.

234
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.920
He is the expert at it, right?

235
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.000
He's going to pull it off.

236
00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:15.600
He has a track, you know, a track record of pulling this off and I'm going

237
00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:18.160
to kind of like rest in him knowing that.

238
00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:19.640
And so you guys get where I'm going.

239
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.120
Like this is, this is a, you know, friendship I have here on earth.

240
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.440
Nevermind, you know, the King of Kings I'm working with who obviously has a

241
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.960
track record, who obviously knows how to do marketing, who obviously

242
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:31.120
knows how to do all this stuff.

243
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:34.600
And so wouldn't you want to have like a standing appointment

244
00:22:34.600 --> 00:22:35.800
with your business partners?

245
00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:37.640
That'd be the first thing, just super practical.

246
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.160
Just set this up.

247
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:44.200
So you have a time where you are sitting down and doing this because it's not

248
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.800
going to happen unless you schedule it.

249
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.240
Uh, and so for me, Mondays is the perfect time for this.

250
00:22:49.320 --> 00:22:52.240
Um, I have it blocked up on our Monday morning calendar.

251
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.040
I go to a coffee shop.

252
00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:56.720
I have the same spot, so it gets me out of the context.

253
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:03.640
I try to not take my phone or my laptop, you know, obviously key because, uh, as

254
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.160
an entrepreneur, I'm like, Oh, I get this idea and this thing, let me just text

255
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.760
this to Macy and let me send this to this thing.

256
00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:09.800
And so like, I queue this all up.

257
00:23:09.800 --> 00:23:13.080
I have, this is my discipline is I have a little chart in the

258
00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:15.480
bottom left that says comms.

259
00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:18.840
And so like all the communication I'm going to have after this session.

260
00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:22.840
So I'm as I, and then I load up like 10 messages to different team members and

261
00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.680
just send it all at once afterwards.

262
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:29.000
So, um, just, you know, figure this out as far as what would, what helps you

263
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.880
stay focused and, um, treat it like you're like a meeting, you would actually

264
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.960
have a meeting with, with this, this person.

265
00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:38.880
Um, because it's, it's a different way of thinking about it.

266
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.320
It's not like, well, I'm doing my quiet time in the morning and I'm just

267
00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:44.680
going to happen to like, Oh Lord, please bless my business.

268
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:46.120
And then I go back into the day.

269
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.160
Um, or we wait till we like crash and burn and we're like, Oh my gosh, I've

270
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:54.800
like set, I have, you know, created this mess, Lord, please come and save me.

271
00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:56.840
Um, which is, which is fine too.

272
00:23:56.840 --> 00:24:00.040
And it's nothing wrong with that, but that's not, you know, that's sort of

273
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:02.280
just kind of getting bailed out at the last minute.

274
00:24:02.280 --> 00:24:05.400
I think there's this collaborating of the Lord wanting to work with us.

275
00:24:05.760 --> 00:24:10.560
Um, In this, so just as far as like practical things, you know, this is a

276
00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:13.840
good exercise, like take an inventory of all the things that you have.

277
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.800
Like, I feel like I get prompted to do certain things.

278
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.920
Um, and to me, I have to do it on paper.

279
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.840
Like I get too distracted if I'm touching a technology at all.

280
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.320
Um, and so do a pen and paper.

281
00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:30.160
And I just said, okay, like, and sometimes, uh, the prompt

282
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:31.840
is like, what's on your mind.

283
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.480
You know, and, and you've seen, um, there's a lot of, uh, people doing this

284
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:40.400
lot of entrepreneurs teaching this, but, uh, doing just, you kind of do the

285
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.800
brain dump, like, Hey, I've got this on my mind, this on my mind, this

286
00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:46.240
thing's happening, but, and just don't try to organize it, just get it on a

287
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:50.880
piece of paper and I'd do that on like one giant list on the left and on the

288
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.120
right, I'm like, okay, what's like, what's on the Lord's mind.

289
00:24:54.280 --> 00:24:54.760
Okay.

290
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:57.760
So like, just go through and I list out all the things for me.

291
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.960
Um, you know, I'm.

292
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.640
about this. I have to make this decision. This, this payment needs to be made. Like this is random,

293
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.880
just stuff that's in my brain. And on the right side, I'm like, cool, Lord, like what's on your

294
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:13.600
mind? Oh, guess what? Like, I love you as a son. Like, I love this. Hey, did you know that? Like,

295
00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:16.880
I have this thing planned for you. Oh, do you remember this prophetic word that you got?

296
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:21.120
I'm like, oh, yeah, that's kind of cool. Like that has nothing to do with these stupid things

297
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:24.720
on the left. Like, I don't even know why I'm worried about that. Oh, did you know that I'm

298
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:30.640
like called you to like, this space of wealth and influence? Like, oh, you know, so you quickly like

299
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.480
pulls you out of that perspective, but your brain, you kind of need to get it out of your head. So

300
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:40.000
there's nothing wrong with like having those thoughts. But we tend to like, as entrepreneurs,

301
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:45.120
as people who are business owners, get wrapped up into that, and you just jump from the one thing

302
00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:48.800
to the next, and you're putting out fires, and then the you know, whatever hits your inbox,

303
00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:53.680
whatever client thing comes in, whatever customer asks you something, whatever situation you're

304
00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:00.160
dealing with, tends to take the sort of the dictate your calendar and your for the day,

305
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.280
and then you kind of get to the end of the day, you know, like, what did I even accomplish? I

306
00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:07.120
think I just put out a bunch of fires, and then we go to sleep and do it again the next day. So

307
00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:11.760
I think there's a way of like flipping that around and saying, okay, let me just get everything out

308
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:16.320
of my head. Okay, what's the Lord saying? Sometimes it's I've had things in that like,

309
00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:22.160
it's not crazy stuff. It's like, hey, text this person. Hey, shoot that person an email.

310
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:29.440
Send this thing to this one team member. And it's these very strategic things. And I just quickly

311
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:34.160
make a couple action points on like, what I feel like is then after the meeting, I'll go and like,

312
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.960
just fire off a bunch of these little things. And it's crazy how much actual growth and movement

313
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:43.600
comes from just having that one connection, or let me schedule this one conversation with this

314
00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:50.000
person. And again, it's kind of taking it like, it's again, if I'm working with Steven, I've got

315
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.520
all my ideas, like, here's all the things that's on his mind. Okay, let's figure out what we are

316
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:59.520
doing now together in the week. Based on both of those lists, we can't do everything. But there's

317
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:02.640
probably some overlap, there's probably some things that were like, Oh, if I just have this

318
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.960
conversation, it actually solves these three things on my bullet on my to do list, right?

319
00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:14.560
That's on my mind. So that's an exercise, take an inventory, things like that. I think the Lord

320
00:27:14.560 --> 00:27:21.040
will prompt you schedule a time if you can like to do this. It's not 10 minutes, it's not 15

321
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:26.400
minutes, it's probably two hours, like, I just don't think you're going to get anything done.

322
00:27:27.520 --> 00:27:32.320
And if you're like, I don't have two hours, Bruce, I dare you to say that, because I would love to

323
00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:39.760
see what your screen time score is on your iPhone. And because my guess is it's there's probably two

324
00:27:39.760 --> 00:27:47.360
hours in there. If you just do a little bit less scrolling, and I'm guilty of this as well. So

325
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.360
just kind of force it in there. And I do that as the first thing, because it's the most important,

326
00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:58.480
I do it on a Monday, I just built that into my perfect week plan. And that's kind of how I make

327
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:05.680
sure that it actually happens. And then, yeah, so I think this is just, you know, we're touching on a

328
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:09.600
very high level here. But I just wanted to encourage you guys, as well as as you're stepping

329
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:16.240
into taking on this mindset and identity of being a kingdom business owner. This is a different way

330
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:21.760
of doing business altogether. It's a different framework. You know, I think there's a few people

331
00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:25.760
out there that are teaching it, but it's not common. Like this is not what you're going to

332
00:28:25.760 --> 00:28:31.520
find in most books and teaching and church and things like that. There's I think there's there's

333
00:28:31.520 --> 00:28:35.520
some, some revelation here that we've tapped into, you know, with Pedro, and we've learned

334
00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:41.280
from other people from Keith. And I feel like this is a new way of building things. And what's

335
00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:47.280
surprising about it is, once you do this, you actually make incredible movement. And you get

336
00:28:47.280 --> 00:28:51.840
out of this space of toil, where you're just pouring, that's, that's the putting out fires

337
00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:56.640
thing. That's the like, grinding on just putting out a video every single day and like not seeing

338
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:01.840
any results. Like, some of that is good. Some of that like is building muscles and building skills

339
00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:07.440
for you for the future. But there is a point where you'll feel it and it'll feel like there gets this

340
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:13.520
place of, you know, toil mode. And so that's when you want to take a step back, reset your priorities,

341
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:20.720
kind of refocus because it says that your Lord, the, his burden is, is easy, and it's light.

342
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:25.840
This is not supposed to feel like you're dragging this huge thing, you should barely, if you're

343
00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:30.880
doing it right, you know, you should you're if you're pulling that cart, that that's, you know,

344
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:37.280
behind you, you should it you should be doing like 1% of the work if that, but it does require you

345
00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:41.440
doing that work because the Lord's not going to like, do it for you. That would just be silly.

346
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.520
If I just like ran around and like solved all Hannah's problems for her. She's never gonna

347
00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:49.200
learn like we're never gonna have that relationship. If I just jump in and like, oh, she has this

348
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.680
problem, fix it and don't explain anything, just move on and let her figure it out. That's just

349
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:58.400
silly. Like we wouldn't do that. This Lord doesn't want to do that. And so that's where

350
00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:59.920
like prayers were like, hey, Lord, come fix

351
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.720
This business is okay.

352
00:30:02.760 --> 00:30:06.300
Like it's the heart's kind of there, but it's not really taking on

353
00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:08.320
that thing of a son or a daughter.

354
00:30:08.520 --> 00:30:11.240
It's kind of taking on like the mindset of, of more of like an

355
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.520
orphan or a slave, right?

356
00:30:12.520 --> 00:30:14.200
Where you're just like, Hey, tell me what to do.

357
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:19.320
Um, and there are times I know in business where we're like exhausted and we have

358
00:30:19.320 --> 00:30:22.760
no, I was like, Lord, just give me like, give me like the one thing to go do.

359
00:30:22.760 --> 00:30:23.840
I just need to go do that one thing.

360
00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:26.480
And those are those there's modes for that as well.

361
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.880
So a lot, a lot of flexibility, but you guys kind of hear, hear my heart on this,

362
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:35.680
but, um, I would just, yeah, just to encourage you guys as, as you're thinking

363
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:39.840
and dreaming about your businesses, one, it's going to be way more, it's going to

364
00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:44.240
be way bigger and more, uh, more scale to it than you can imagine.

365
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.120
I think that we tend to dream very small and we tend to look at the results of

366
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.000
everything that's happening today and this week and kind of like, you know,

367
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.000
draw that out on like a linear graph of where things will be next year.

368
00:30:56.600 --> 00:30:58.400
And it just doesn't happen that way.

369
00:30:58.600 --> 00:31:04.040
Um, we've found we've had some insane business upgrades in 2025 that we didn't

370
00:31:04.040 --> 00:31:09.560
have in 2024, uh, not to do with, with tribe or pioneers and stuff that's

371
00:31:09.560 --> 00:31:15.600
totally outside of this and it came because I was sitting like we had a

372
00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:18.280
client that was like, Hey, I want to do this type of project.

373
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.560
We were thinking like, do we even want to do that type of thing anymore?

374
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:27.080
Back and forth and, um, was sitting outside by the fire and having like a

375
00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:31.360
time just talking and the Lord was like, Hey, um, would you say yes to this

376
00:31:31.360 --> 00:31:35.200
project if like, let's say Elon Musk was your business partner, I'd be like,

377
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:38.360
Oh yeah, because Elon knows that all these people and he has all this money

378
00:31:38.360 --> 00:31:39.560
and he has all these resources.

379
00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:41.240
Like, I would totally say yes to this.

380
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.520
Okay.

381
00:31:41.520 --> 00:31:43.720
So like, why are we hesitating?

382
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:48.520
Because the creator of the universe obviously has way more resources than

383
00:31:48.760 --> 00:31:49.880
the richest person in the world.

384
00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:54.760
Um, and so it's just this little thing of like, okay, let me take the step of faith.

385
00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:55.440
Let's say yes to it.

386
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.480
And I said yes to it.

387
00:31:56.840 --> 00:32:01.040
And literally within like two weeks, we had like three new team members that

388
00:32:01.040 --> 00:32:05.400
joined instantly and we took care of that project and we ran it and it's been

389
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:10.480
successful and it had zero, like we didn't pull any of resources from me or

390
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:12.480
from our team or anything else we were doing.

391
00:32:12.760 --> 00:32:14.920
And I was like, this is, this is so silly.

392
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.240
It's like, it's, it's almost laughable at like how close we were to not having

393
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:24.680
this thing, um, that is now like, you know, caused the two or three X, you

394
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:30.000
know, lift in, in parts of our business, as far as revenue and like real huge,

395
00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:32.440
uh, uh, movement for our business.

396
00:32:32.840 --> 00:32:36.840
Because I was like, Invitation, I was like, okay, like, Lord, are we doing

397
00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:39.640
this or like, what, what, what permission do we have, you know?

398
00:32:40.280 --> 00:32:43.120
Uh, and then you take these little, these little movements and it doesn't

399
00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:44.960
feel like crazy amounts of work.

400
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.160
It doesn't, it is, it's, I'm not saying it's not scary because it's a hundred

401
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:50.400
percent scary, uh, at times, right.

402
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.040
Uh, it takes a lot of faith, but when you take these little directions, that's

403
00:32:54.040 --> 00:32:56.000
what's caused like the most growth.

404
00:32:56.360 --> 00:33:01.480
Um, it's not like, oh, let me show you this latest thing on tactic on Facebook

405
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.240
ads that you guys didn't know about.

406
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.880
And that's the thing that's holding you guys back.

407
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.040
Is this one targeting trick in Facebook?

408
00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:12.080
And there's tons of those and you get those ads and you probably get, you guys

409
00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:14.200
probably seeing that in your feed all day.

410
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.160
Like I'm seeing it.

411
00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:20.520
Um, but it's rarely that, that that's, that's the thing that's missing.

412
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:25.320
Um, so don't feel, cause that can kind of start to feel like an orphan as well.

413
00:33:25.320 --> 00:33:26.440
Like, oh, there's all these things.

414
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:29.120
And if I don't get all the information just right, I'm going to mess this up.

415
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.320
No, like that, that's not how the business works.

416
00:33:32.320 --> 00:33:36.280
Like most of this is happening to Lord's like restoring you.

417
00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:37.680
He's bringing clarity to you.

418
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.200
He's building you up and then you are going to go and do

419
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:41.680
all this cool stuff with him.

420
00:33:42.280 --> 00:33:45.920
It's not, um, this like paranoid running around.

421
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.280
That's what you see on social media right now in this space.

422
00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:49.280
It's very noisy.

423
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:55.160
And, uh, uh, yeah, we just, that's just not, to me, that doesn't feel kingdom

424
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.280
and kind of playing to that orphan's bear.

425
00:33:57.280 --> 00:34:00.840
A lot of this marketing, a lot of the language you see is even well-meaning

426
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:07.360
Christian people are playing to like the orphan, you know, mentality of like,

427
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.239
oh, I'm, I'm too slow.

428
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:10.000
I'm too poor.

429
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.719
I'm too fat.

430
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.920
I'm too this like, whatever they play to that thing of scarcity.

431
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:15.760
And then they tried to like build onto.

432
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:17.880
So I was gonna set some of you guys free on that.

433
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.920
Cause those are the things that I'm seeing in my feet.

434
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.920
And I'm like, this is just, this is, this is the territory we're in.

435
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.120
So we're like aware of it.

436
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.280
Um, this is kind of the lay of the land and, uh, you know, just some things to

437
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.199
keep in mind, like as a kingdom business owner, this is how you're approaching,

438
00:34:32.600 --> 00:34:36.440
uh, building your business in 2025, uh, in this way.

439
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:40.199
So we'll leave a lot of room for some questions, maybe get into some of

440
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:42.280
the problems, but hopefully that helped.

441
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.360
If you guys want to comment or give feedback, we'll take a second here and

442
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:49.400
just chat, and then I can fix my, my focus on my camera, which has been

443
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.000
bothering me the entire time.

444
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:51.600
There we go.

445
00:34:53.080 --> 00:34:53.560
Awesome.

446
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:56.040
Any thoughts from you guys?

447
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:56.920
Take a second.

448
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.520
Get some water.

449
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.160
Well, it's interesting. I came out on the obviously on the latter part of the conversation,

450
00:35:05.160 --> 00:35:10.400
but I suspect you were talking about grind and toil versus light and easy. Okay, which

451
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.320
is interesting because the conference I was at last week, which was a God Talks conferences

452
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:21.400
and most of us are business people who are kingdom centric. Okay, and what I've learned

453
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:26.960
to do each morning is just I get up earlier and spend time with God just to get my assignment

454
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:32.920
for the day. Okay, and figure out what's important for me to do to do then. So Lord convicted

455
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:38.280
me of that a few weeks ago. And, and it's good, I get I get far more accomplished than

456
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:44.920
then, you know, I ever thought that I would. And, you know, focusing in on, I think, Macy

457
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:48.640
two or three, maybe even four weeks ago, we're talking, you were talking about us really

458
00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:54.440
kind of zeroing in on our who and who we're talking about. And I needed to go from just

459
00:35:54.440 --> 00:36:01.240
people who were, as I call dechurched, as in done with church, you know, to people who

460
00:36:01.240 --> 00:36:09.840
have been dechurched or hurt. And, and really still want a relationship with God, but they

461
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.920
don't know where to go, as opposed to just people who are out there who are just moaning

462
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:21.680
and complaining, and angry, you know, and just want to sit there. So that was kind of

463
00:36:21.680 --> 00:36:26.840
a big revelation and shifting things so that I could focus in on that subset of people

464
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:32.400
rather than everyone. That was, you know, very important, important for me, but that

465
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.440
came out of, again, just spending that time each morning. Okay, all right, Lord, what's

466
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:45.120
my assignment? Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I think it's just it's a yeah, there's a reason

467
00:36:45.120 --> 00:36:51.200
that it works well is because it sets the posture, correct, correctly for us to start

468
00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:56.400
this day, start the week, start the start with the problem of like, bringing it to Lord's

469
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:01.160
like the first thing that I think as soon as we, especially if you have team members

470
00:37:01.160 --> 00:37:07.520
and your business grows, like you become sort of the the savior to jump in and fix problems.

471
00:37:07.520 --> 00:37:11.720
Very easy to do. So same thing. It's just like getting that posture of like, Hey, this

472
00:37:11.720 --> 00:37:16.960
is not, I'm not these people's Savior, Lord is, I need to like, how am I going to partner

473
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.160
with the Lord to, you know, bring freedom and to help people because they we we are

474
00:37:22.160 --> 00:37:27.280
the ones on earth, like helping bring heaven to earth. You know, he's the Lord's like entrusted

475
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:37.600
us to do that. So yeah, thanks for sharing. That's great. Yeah, Holly, did you? Yeah,

476
00:37:37.600 --> 00:37:42.320
that's such a great perspective that, you know, God's our business partner. It's just

477
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:49.760
a great reminder. That, you know, it makes you think that it's such a privilege to be

478
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:54.360
able to co create with God in partnership. I mean, it's just a completely different way

479
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:59.840
of operating. But I wanted to point this out. And I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

480
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:04.720
But I've had times in my life where it's like, you know, I didn't call it a business meeting,

481
00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:08.320
but where you're getting with the Lord, you know, what should I do today? And there are

482
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.320
times where it's really clear and you're getting all this direction. And then you go for links

483
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:16.760
of time where you get nothing. And that's where I've been where it's like, I'm, I'm

484
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:21.160
trying to have these meetings. But it's kind of like God's like, well, just you, you go

485
00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:26.200
and do it like he's not telling me the details. He's kind of saying, Okay, you take this for

486
00:38:26.200 --> 00:38:31.640
a while or something. Do you know what I'm Does that make sense? And so it's really interesting

487
00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:37.320
time because I want to get it right. I want to do the right things and not waste my time and

488
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:42.600
all those things. But then there are some times where God is not giving the details of Oh, this

489
00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:47.320
is what you need to work on to this week or today or whatever, where it's just kind of like, well,

490
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.920
you just you know, what what's on your heart? Like, go go do that. It's it's that's how it's

491
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:59.400
been recently. Of course, yes, that's that's the real talk. Like, cool. That's great. What if you

492
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:09.800
can't hear you're not hearing anything? Yeah, I mean, this is I feel like the the Lord is, you

493
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:15.160
know, he it says it's the glory of God to conceal a matter right to search things out. I think there

494
00:39:15.160 --> 00:39:23.480
is this is sort of an adventure piece to it, right? That prop 25 talks about where you're going to

495
00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:29.560
it's like, you know, if we're talking about this thing today, and there's and it's quiet,

496
00:39:29.560 --> 00:39:33.800
then I'm like, cool, what, like, one, I need to figure out a different mode. Is it like,

497
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:37.800
I'm going for a walk right now, let me change to me, I typically try to, like, change the

498
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:41.240
environment, like, I'm sitting at my desk, you know, I'm trying to do stuff, and I'm not just

499
00:39:41.240 --> 00:39:44.520
not hearing stuff. So to me, I'm like, I gotta go to coffee shop, or I gotta get out and go for a

500
00:39:44.520 --> 00:39:51.560
walk, I gotta go do like, just change it up for my own brain to kind of reset. Some of those I was

501
00:39:51.560 --> 00:39:59.320
like, practical, but I think there's some adventures to kind of go on, I think.

502
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.280
I think, um, there's no, there's not like a specific answer.

503
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:08.520
I'm just being, uh, clear about what I'm saying.

504
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.560
I'm just saying kind of, it's a, that's a real thing.

505
00:40:11.600 --> 00:40:15.960
And so I think to me, it's, it's kind of, so when I don't hear anything,

506
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:17.900
I go to the last things that I heard.

507
00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:21.360
And so this is kind of tailed into, uh, touching on what Lindsey talked about,

508
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:25.960
like having your prophetic words handy and being able to pull them up in those

509
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.840
moments, because I feel there's still a lot of life on those words.

510
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.840
And particularly if you have the audio recordings or if it, you know,

511
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:38.080
something that has just, you can sit and listen to that and you'll

512
00:40:38.080 --> 00:40:39.880
kind of start to hear new things.

513
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.560
So you're just kind of like, Oh, he said this, but like, I actually

514
00:40:42.560 --> 00:40:45.680
didn't realize, uh, you know, this piece of it was in there.

515
00:40:46.080 --> 00:40:51.920
Um, uh, so that's something that I would go back to like, and just

516
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:56.040
encourage yourself into what was, what were some recent things we heard and try

517
00:40:56.040 --> 00:41:00.800
to basically get some life from that and just see where the, you know, the other

518
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.560
thing you can do as well is this is where it's great about really good friendships

519
00:41:04.560 --> 00:41:06.920
or, or these people in this group as well.

520
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:11.240
It's like, just get on a, you know, a call with someone, like say, Hey, I'm

521
00:41:11.240 --> 00:41:14.120
starting, like, do you mind, like, I'm stuck here.

522
00:41:14.120 --> 00:41:15.680
Does anyone have any, like, are they here?

523
00:41:15.680 --> 00:41:18.720
Is anyone else hearing anything for this problem that I'm having?

524
00:41:19.160 --> 00:41:22.360
Um, that can be a good thing to reach out to a friend or something.

525
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:23.600
I did that today.

526
00:41:23.600 --> 00:41:25.800
Like I did a voice memo out to a friend.

527
00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:28.480
Um, we've got some business thing.

528
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:31.880
And I was, I was very clear not to ask for advice.

529
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.800
Cause he could have easily given me like 50 advice points on things.

530
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:38.240
I was like, Hey, here's something I'm like stuck on and I'm trusting the Lord

531
00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:41.800
for if you feel like you've got anything on this, I'd love to love to hear it.

532
00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:43.080
And he just, he shared, he's like, Oh yeah.

533
00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:44.600
I was like, this happened to you.

534
00:41:44.600 --> 00:41:46.400
And this is the scripture that stood out to me.

535
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:49.000
And here's the prophetic word I felt, you know, he had.

536
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:50.960
So I was like, Oh, it was great.

537
00:41:51.160 --> 00:41:53.880
So that kind of, I feel like I heard from the Lord through this other person.

538
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:54.800
Um,

539
00:41:55.080 --> 00:41:55.800
that's really good.

540
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.640
Sally just commented that he's written it on your heart.

541
00:41:58.720 --> 00:42:00.120
And that's, I, I agree with that.

542
00:42:00.120 --> 00:42:01.360
I think that's what it feels like.

543
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.760
It's like, God's deposited it already in my heart.

544
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:08.120
And so now it's a matter of like, okay, so I've got to be able to trust that,

545
00:42:08.120 --> 00:42:12.680
like trust what I already have in my heart and not, you know, it's, it's

546
00:42:12.680 --> 00:42:17.800
like, I want the details because it feels less scary, like specific instructions.

547
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:21.040
But there's a point where sometimes you have to just trust that it's

548
00:42:21.040 --> 00:42:22.920
already in your heart and go with that.

549
00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:25.000
So it's just, I don't know.

550
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.040
It's just, it's a, it's a little more, um, I don't know.

551
00:42:30.160 --> 00:42:32.760
I don't know what the word is, but it's just a little more scary.

552
00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:33.760
It is.

553
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.480
It is scary.

554
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:35.280
It costs your heart.

555
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:36.480
Cause it's already there.

556
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:40.200
And so to, to go with that instead of thinking, Oh, I need to have this fresh

557
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:42.880
word, I need to have this specific instructions.

558
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:44.520
Well, no, I already have the instructions.

559
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.080
So now, um, I have it.

560
00:42:47.080 --> 00:42:48.560
So trust what's there already.

561
00:42:48.560 --> 00:42:49.840
I feel like that's where I am though.

562
00:42:51.080 --> 00:42:51.520
That's good.

563
00:42:51.560 --> 00:42:55.040
I think the, to me, that's the idea of like focus as well.

564
00:42:55.040 --> 00:42:59.920
Like just getting pausing either writing stuff down sometimes just starting to

565
00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:04.880
write or type or speak it out of what you're struggling with can be very, um,

566
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.400
can start to get things moving again, as far as how you're processing your

567
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.240
spirit, uh, responding to that.

568
00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:15.480
Um, because sometimes like, I'll just start, you know, the Lord's like, Hey,

569
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.480
draw your, uh, draw your like cashflow system.

570
00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:20.240
I'm like little squares and I'm like, cool.

571
00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:21.600
This is where the money's coming from.

572
00:43:21.600 --> 00:43:23.640
And this, and it kind of like step back and look, and then it's like

573
00:43:23.640 --> 00:43:24.720
something will get highlighted.

574
00:43:25.240 --> 00:43:30.800
Um, so there's sort of a back and forth thing where it's like the, there may be

575
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:33.600
some, some silly, what feels silly instructions.

576
00:43:33.640 --> 00:43:37.560
And even if you don't hear it, or you just think this might be a good idea.

577
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:38.960
A lot of times that's the Lord as well.

578
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:43.880
Like, Oh, I have this like thing that I want to launch this challenge or do this

579
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.920
event, or I really have this piece of content on my heart.

580
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.560
I want to get out, just like, start doing it, like start

581
00:43:49.560 --> 00:43:50.920
taking some steps towards that.

582
00:43:51.560 --> 00:43:56.000
I had a, we had a pastor, a spiritual father, like years and years ago, who

583
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.120
always said like, he always talks about pulling on the thread.

584
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.920
It's like, sometimes it's just like this little tiny thread and you're like, Oh,

585
00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:03.120
I wonder where this thread goes.

586
00:44:03.120 --> 00:44:06.120
Like just keep pulling on this little thread and this turns into that thing

587
00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:07.040
and that thing and that thing.

588
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.200
And it doesn't seem like the Lord is showing up and speaking in audible voice.

589
00:44:12.200 --> 00:44:15.560
It's like a thought that enters your brain about like, and it's sometimes

590
00:44:15.560 --> 00:44:16.880
it doesn't feel very spiritual.

591
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:18.600
It's like, let's talk about cashflow.

592
00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:19.120
Okay.

593
00:44:19.160 --> 00:44:21.080
Like let's do some cashflow stuff.

594
00:44:21.560 --> 00:44:25.240
Um, and I think there's also like a maturing as well, because I feel like it

595
00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:28.640
is also a sign that the Lord does trust you as well.

596
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:33.160
Um, we were leaving, uh, in Atlanta and then we were like living in North

597
00:44:33.160 --> 00:44:34.400
Carolina for a bit and we're like, cool.

598
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:35.440
We have to decide where to live.

599
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:39.280
We were either going to go live to, uh, look in kind of Nashville, Franklin,

600
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.960
where we are now, or we were going to go, um, to Northern California.

601
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:45.200
Those are like our two options.

602
00:44:45.200 --> 00:44:48.800
And we're like, Lord, just, just tell us, like, tell us where this is.

603
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:50.880
Like, give us like, write it in the sky.

604
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:53.320
Like, I don't, cause we actually didn't want to decide.

605
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.080
We didn't want to pick the wrong thing.

606
00:44:55.600 --> 00:44:59.240
And, um, something that, uh, Keith has highlighted to us is like, we had this

607
00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:00.120
like, we.

608
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.120
weird sense of like a fear of punishment, that like, if we said that if we picked the

609
00:45:04.120 --> 00:45:06.580
wrong thing, we were getting punished for it.

610
00:45:06.580 --> 00:45:10.760
Like we're going to like, that's just such a silly thought to on the side, like of clarity,

611
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:12.960
but in the moment is very scary and you don't know where to go.

612
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.200
So you're just like, cool, just give us a sign.

613
00:45:15.200 --> 00:45:22.080
And so, and the Lord did like we, but he didn't, we didn't sit in our room, like in we're in

614
00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:27.080
North Carolina at the time and like this like beautiful, like promise came to us and we,

615
00:45:27.080 --> 00:45:29.880
and we'd like, we're like, okay, it's this place.

616
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:31.960
We were like, okay, well, we don't know.

617
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.820
But what we do know is we need to like take action.

618
00:45:34.820 --> 00:45:38.600
So we, we booked a trip and we drove all the way to Franklin and we came and met with some

619
00:45:38.600 --> 00:45:42.720
friends here and we just, and not even told them that we were thinking of moving.

620
00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:44.120
We're just like, Hey, let's just go check it out.

621
00:45:44.120 --> 00:45:47.360
Let's get an Airbnb either for a week.

622
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:48.360
And then just go from there.

623
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:50.460
And then while we were there, like, huh, while we're here, let's just like see if there's

624
00:45:50.460 --> 00:45:51.460
any houses.

625
00:45:51.460 --> 00:45:52.880
And we tried 20 different houses.

626
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:57.600
Every single thing was a hard closed door, ran out of all options.

627
00:45:57.600 --> 00:46:01.400
And we were literally like ready to turn around and go back.

628
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:07.680
And like the night before we left, the Lord was like, our friend, who's our, our neighbor,

629
00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:14.040
we've known for 16 years, just reached out and was like, Hey, my neighbors rent, think

630
00:46:14.040 --> 00:46:15.040
renting her house.

631
00:46:15.040 --> 00:46:17.080
She's, it's not even on the, it's not on Zillow, it's not anywhere.

632
00:46:17.080 --> 00:46:18.080
She's just thinking of renting it.

633
00:46:18.080 --> 00:46:19.080
Do you want to check it out?

634
00:46:19.080 --> 00:46:20.080
I was like, yeah.

635
00:46:20.080 --> 00:46:22.160
I was like, also, we've been hanging out all week.

636
00:46:22.160 --> 00:46:25.200
We'd been nice to know this on Monday, not on the, like the Thursday night before we

637
00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:26.200
leave.

638
00:46:26.200 --> 00:46:27.200
Anyway, checked it out.

639
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.400
And it was like, exactly what we wanted in the perfect neighborhood and the perfect thing.

640
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:33.800
And the Lord had like, we had exhausted all our options.

641
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:37.480
And it's kind of like pouring water on the fire, right?

642
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.560
And then the Lord like set it on for like, okay, cool.

643
00:46:39.560 --> 00:46:42.560
You tried your 20 options, like you got that out of your system.

644
00:46:42.560 --> 00:46:45.600
But we kind of went on this journey, like we had to get here, we had to try things,

645
00:46:45.600 --> 00:46:46.600
we had to take action.

646
00:46:46.600 --> 00:46:50.000
Like, so I think there's, there's this thing of like, hey, pulling on the thread.

647
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.280
And then once you think you have something, just, just take that next step.

648
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.880
And that's where I think we get stuck a lot of times is we are waiting for such a clear

649
00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:59.880
word that it's like, I can't miss this.

650
00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:02.360
And then we take the first step.

651
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:03.360
And it's really a sign of trust.

652
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:07.640
Like, do we really trust the Lord that he will find like the right place for our family?

653
00:47:07.640 --> 00:47:08.640
Obviously he will.

654
00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:14.440
Like, this is not up to Bruce's decision to like, and if I miss it, my whole family, like

655
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:18.520
we're going to like raise our kids in the wrong city, you know, like it's that's, but

656
00:47:18.520 --> 00:47:21.320
those are the things, the thoughts that go through your head, like when you're trying

657
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:24.240
to make these decisions and take, take action.

658
00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:25.240
So good.

659
00:47:25.240 --> 00:47:26.240
Oh, yeah.

660
00:47:26.240 --> 00:47:31.880
Xavier, you had your hands raised and yeah, well, Sally had a couple of questions.

661
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:32.880
Yeah.

662
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:34.480
I wasn't looking at the chat.

663
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:35.480
Yeah.

664
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:36.480
Let's see.

665
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:37.480
Do you want to?

666
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.120
I don't have questions.

667
00:47:40.120 --> 00:47:50.240
It's just I sense Holly's moving into a new level and he starts us off by giving us everything

668
00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:51.240
that we need.

669
00:47:52.160 --> 00:47:56.120
It's a little bit like you take the, he's taken the trainer wheels off, but he places,

670
00:47:56.120 --> 00:47:57.440
he writes it on our heart.

671
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.280
So the desires of our heart are his.

672
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.840
So he's already trusted you with it.

673
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:09.440
And I love the prophetic, the visions, the big picture stuff he gives us because he gives

674
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.120
us that to say, I'm taking you here.

675
00:48:12.120 --> 00:48:13.560
This is who you're going to be.

676
00:48:13.560 --> 00:48:16.520
This is where it's going to be.

677
00:48:16.520 --> 00:48:20.120
But he actually wants us to step out.

678
00:48:20.120 --> 00:48:26.360
And if he does everything for us, we become, yes, dependent on him, which we need to.

679
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:28.000
But it's together.

680
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.820
It's not you do it all for me, God, and I'll follow every step.

681
00:48:30.820 --> 00:48:33.000
It's actually like, okay, God, you've given me this.

682
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:34.000
Let's have a go.

683
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:40.480
And I fall over lots of times, lots of times because I run a hit, but he's always there

684
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:41.480
to pick me up.

685
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.000
And if I'm moving, he can redirect me.

686
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:52.000
So I just sense that he's given you everything.

687
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:59.240
And this is a new season of you running with him, as opposed to walking with the train

688
00:48:59.240 --> 00:49:00.240
wheels.

689
00:49:00.240 --> 00:49:01.240
That's all I had to share.

690
00:49:01.240 --> 00:49:02.240
That's good.

691
00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:03.240
Does anyone else?

692
00:49:03.240 --> 00:49:04.240
I mean, we're talking about Holly.

693
00:49:04.240 --> 00:49:06.920
So anyone else got anything you're sensing for Holly?

694
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:13.920
Yeah, I would say, you know, one of the things that came out of my conference last week is,

695
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:18.320
you know, God is, we do love it, as Sally just said, when he gives us the big picture

696
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:19.840
and the big vision.

697
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.880
He doesn't always give us the steps, okay, right away.

698
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:24.880
All right.

699
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.920
And what he does is expect us and partially that's because as we take each step, we're

700
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:31.720
stepping in partnership with him.

701
00:49:31.720 --> 00:49:36.360
And there's a measure of faith, okay, that we have to do to take each step.

702
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:41.720
And I've come to realize, look, if God doesn't show up, then this is going to fail.

703
00:49:42.120 --> 00:49:45.160
And that's where I need to be.

704
00:49:45.160 --> 00:49:49.840
That's just where I have to be, you know, and my nature is, is to get it all very, very

705
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:50.840
tight.

706
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:51.840
So it's good.

707
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:52.840
I know it's going to work.

708
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.400
I can then focus on the next step and whatnot.

709
00:49:55.400 --> 00:50:00.000
But more often than not, he doesn't do that, which is why I've been convicted to

710
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.120
spend the time with him in the morning. And even though, you

711
00:50:03.120 --> 00:50:05.080
know, yeah, I have the big picture, but how do I get to

712
00:50:05.080 --> 00:50:08.840
what's just my next step, Lord? What's there? What is your

713
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:13.640
assignment for me today? Okay, and so I get that. And the other

714
00:50:13.640 --> 00:50:16.680
part of that is, is even when you're talking with God into

715
00:50:16.680 --> 00:50:19.280
receiving this, it's very important to have people that

716
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.560
you know, and trust. We also have a relationship with God,

717
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.840
okay, to confirm and validate, okay, where do you think you're

718
00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:29.840
going? And I think that's part of what this group is all about

719
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:34.000
as well. Okay, and I'm not sure that we're always leaning we

720
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.840
don't we haven't quite learned to quite lean into it. Although

721
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:43.640
Macy's teaching me to do that. And, and so by leaning into

722
00:50:43.640 --> 00:50:47.600
that and getting confirmation, okay, then that increases the

723
00:50:47.600 --> 00:50:50.240
faith that I need to take the steps that I need to take

724
00:50:50.240 --> 00:50:54.720
anyway. Okay, and upright God, I'm going to take this step

725
00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:57.520
because if you don't show up, well, then it's not going to

726
00:50:57.520 --> 00:51:01.120
work. And I know this, and I'm okay with this. You're my senior

727
00:51:01.120 --> 00:51:05.760
partner. Okay, you're the senior partner in my business. So you

728
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:08.640
know, this is how this is how this is going to work. You know,

729
00:51:08.640 --> 00:51:11.240
and if you've ever dealt with executives or senior partners,

730
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:14.640
they're not going to tell you every little detail. Okay,

731
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.840
they're just going to show you the direction that you're going

732
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:21.600
to be that you should be leaning in, or remind you of what's

733
00:51:21.600 --> 00:51:25.440
already been told. Okay, so that you can you can kind of do

734
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.520
that. So I think you have listening, you have the vision

735
00:51:28.520 --> 00:51:31.920
that God gave you, you have listening to God on a step by

736
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.680
step basis, and you have the confirmation and the

737
00:51:34.680 --> 00:51:38.560
affirmation, okay, of a group of people, okay, that you're

738
00:51:38.560 --> 00:51:42.640
working with who are moving, you know, with you in that. So that

739
00:51:42.640 --> 00:51:46.040
that's what, you know, I think is just most important.

740
00:51:46.640 --> 00:51:51.240
That's good. And like, I don't know if I, my point of the whole

741
00:51:51.240 --> 00:51:55.200
like moving story was that the Lord actually trusted us to pick

742
00:51:55.200 --> 00:51:58.760
something, you know, and I think he would have blessed us in

743
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.160
either place where we were moving. And so there's this

744
00:52:01.160 --> 00:52:04.040
level of trust and maturity where you kind of look, you're

745
00:52:04.040 --> 00:52:07.080
like, hey, what should my group be about? What should my social

746
00:52:07.080 --> 00:52:09.800
media be about? And Lord's like, cool, like, what do you want to

747
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:11.920
make it about? Like, what, what's actually fun? And we're

748
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.080
like, well, it couldn't possibly be the one thing that I'm

749
00:52:14.080 --> 00:52:16.960
insanely, you know, passionate about. It's probably not that.

750
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:19.480
It's probably something really boring, you know, like, we kind

751
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:21.800
of have this, like, oh, and surely it's not like the one

752
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:24.280
thing I would love to do. So kind of asking yourself

753
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:30.440
questions. I sometimes just reframing the problem as well is

754
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:33.440
like, you know, when you're trying to take that next step,

755
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:37.000
it's like, cool, if I had $10 million in cash in the bank

756
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:40.360
right now, what would I what would I choose? Or if I didn't

757
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.880
have any employees, like, what would I decide? Or if I didn't

758
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.800
have this, like, what would be my Oh, well, I then I would just

759
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:46.920
do this. And then it's like, oh, okay, there's that's, that's

760
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:50.400
actually what like you want to do. Sort of clear, because we

761
00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:54.040
tend to get bogged down with like, overthinking the what's

762
00:52:54.040 --> 00:52:57.840
the right move? And like, well, I've got a family and I've got

763
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:01.680
a this and like, I can't just make make take this crazy step

764
00:53:01.680 --> 00:53:04.520
of, you know, but if you know, if we there was no risk, or if

765
00:53:04.520 --> 00:53:07.160
you knew you could succeed, what's the one thing you would

766
00:53:07.160 --> 00:53:11.440
love to, you know, to do? So yeah, good. Anyone else got

767
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:14.320
anything for Holly? So make sure we encourage her.

768
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.200
I was just as you were saying that, Bruce, I was just

769
00:53:17.200 --> 00:53:22.040
thinking about an experience that I had walking with the

770
00:53:22.040 --> 00:53:28.120
Lord a few years ago. And I was just walking along and, you

771
00:53:28.120 --> 00:53:32.000
know, just having a day out walking along. And there were

772
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.920
these little along this along this path was this little these

773
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:41.200
little out coves places little paths that you could take off

774
00:53:41.200 --> 00:53:45.120
the main path. And I remember the Lord speaking to me, this

775
00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:48.200
was the first time he kind of helped me with right and wrong,

776
00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:51.760
you know, decisions. And I had a lot of decisions at that time

777
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:55.480
really, that was on me. And I didn't know, you know, exactly

778
00:53:55.480 --> 00:53:59.040
the like, what is the right decision. And it was a lot of

779
00:53:59.040 --> 00:54:03.560
weight on me. And I remember coming to a part and we were

780
00:54:03.560 --> 00:54:05.680
just walking, you know, just moving along talking to the

781
00:54:05.680 --> 00:54:09.640
Lord. And, and I remember looking at this path and

782
00:54:09.640 --> 00:54:12.080
wondering, should I go this way? Or should I keep going this

783
00:54:12.080 --> 00:54:15.120
way? It's kind of doing that. And immediately, the Lord spoke

784
00:54:15.120 --> 00:54:19.040
to me and said, Marcella, either way you choose is the right one

785
00:54:19.040 --> 00:54:23.080
because I'm with you. And I was just like, when I say I could

786
00:54:23.080 --> 00:54:27.120
have had a Holy Ghost fit outside, you know, this path,

787
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:29.760
but it really set me free. And it just as you were talking

788
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.880
about that, when you were saying like, no matter which decision

789
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:36.600
or which way we go, I mean, yes, we talk with him and he guides

790
00:54:36.600 --> 00:54:40.880
us and he leaves leads us. And I do believe it's that part of,

791
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:43.440
you know, growing up in spiritual maturity and trusting

792
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:48.960
that, that, but he also trusts us, right? He also trusts us.

793
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:53.240
And I don't think we often think that the Lord, that our

794
00:54:53.240 --> 00:54:58.200
father, God trusts us in the way. Some things he just says,

795
00:54:58.440 --> 00:54:59.960
it doesn't matter which, which.

796
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.920
it doesn't matter what you choose. It's going to be good because I'm with you either way it goes.

797
00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:08.080
Like, He's not going to abandon us in any decision. And so I just thought about that

798
00:55:08.080 --> 00:55:13.360
as you were saying it. But also I want to say one last quick testimony. This experience that

799
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:20.000
I've been having, like right out of certification, it came on me so heavy. Like, I am now, out of

800
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:24.400
all these years, starting with Kingdom Messengers, just the Lord leading me and going from one thing

801
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:31.200
to the next 100x, you know, prophetic heart healing, all these paths, you know, back in,

802
00:55:31.200 --> 00:55:36.080
you know, here we try. The Lord has led me in every step. I didn't know anybody. I don't have

803
00:55:36.080 --> 00:55:40.400
no frame of reference. I don't have anybody saying, Marcella, you could do this or you could do that.

804
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:44.800
And so it's been, it's been this relationship with the Lord that God has grown. And I'm going

805
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:50.720
to try to share this without getting emotional because it's this past, as I finished certification,

806
00:55:51.680 --> 00:55:55.600
it all felt like it's a combination. I really felt like graduation all over again with my

807
00:55:55.600 --> 00:56:00.000
doctorate, honest to God. It was like, except without all the pomp and circumstances, cap

808
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:07.040
and gown and all the things. But when I just had a moment of like, this was done, and it was like

809
00:56:07.040 --> 00:56:11.600
the Lord just painted this picture of like all of these skills that He's given me that I have

810
00:56:11.600 --> 00:56:19.760
acquired in this place of grief, deep grief, deep grief and loss, deep wilderness experience. Just

811
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:24.320
like, I don't know. And I'm trusting people that I don't know. And they, these people have become

812
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:31.520
my family, like, you know, but that, you know, truly, you know, my family. And I've trusted

813
00:56:31.520 --> 00:56:37.760
God in that process. And so I was just talking to the Lord, like, okay, Lord, like, what is this

814
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.280
now? I have all these skills. What, what are we doing with this? Like, wait, it just like came

815
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:53.840
together. And I kid you not, as I was waking up, the answer came, Marcella, you're pioneering.

816
00:56:53.840 --> 00:57:00.000
And I was like, I mean, it just, it could have, you, I could have just faked it. So from that

817
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:05.440
point, the conversation then went to later that day, I was like, okay, what are my next steps?

818
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:09.920
And so I got to go back to tribe. I got to go back to my original idea. And I'm having this

819
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:13.600
conversation with, because it's just me and the Lord here. And I'm having this conversation with

820
00:57:13.600 --> 00:57:17.840
him. I plan to go on a coffee date with him. I'm going to take that, take you up on that offer,

821
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:23.280
Bruce, or that suggestion. But I was doing my hair and I was saying, okay, I want to get back

822
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:28.480
to long form on YouTube. I felt that in my spirit, I just said it out loud. And I, and this may sound

823
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:33.440
really silly, but I have this childlike joy with the Lord. So I've learned to embrace it. And I

824
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:40.960
said, Lord, um, okay, I haven't done a long form and I don't in a long time. What, what do I,

825
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.440
what do I talk about now? I mean, it's still my channel, still all the things, but what do I start

826
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:49.200
out with? What I said, maybe I need to ask Bruce. Maybe I need to come. I was all planning to come

827
00:57:49.200 --> 00:57:54.240
in, ask the, ask the community, get all the thoughts, get all the things. And I kid you not,

828
00:57:54.240 --> 00:58:02.080
he downloaded the idea to me. And the profound thing was that was Saturday. The profound thing

829
00:58:02.080 --> 00:58:08.880
was, is to watch my church online that I'm a member of online. My pastor gave the same point

830
00:58:09.440 --> 00:58:15.520
that the Lord said to be Saturday. I could have. So this process is really is about, you know,

831
00:58:15.520 --> 00:58:19.200
I'm not saying it to like highlight me in this whole thing. Like I'm like, I'm in some kind of

832
00:58:19.200 --> 00:58:26.640
place. This is all new for me, but it's learning to trust that. Um, and I do get emotional because

833
00:58:26.640 --> 00:58:30.720
when you've been used to having, having a certain level of covering

834
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:36.480
and that covering goes, and you don't really know what is ahead of you. Um,

835
00:58:37.600 --> 00:58:43.680
my old life is gone. I used to say that in a painful way, but I can honestly say my old life

836
00:58:43.680 --> 00:58:49.600
has gone and I'm embracing the new I'm learning to live in the new and, um, God and Holy spirit

837
00:58:49.600 --> 00:58:56.080
and Jesus is doing a great job taking good care of me. That's awesome. Well, thanks for sharing.

838
00:58:56.800 --> 00:59:02.320
That's so, so encouraging to hear. And I think, you know, it's the, these are wilderness like

839
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:06.640
pioneering. Like we, we started kingdom messengers in a pioneering season. I mean,

840
00:59:06.640 --> 00:59:10.400
a part of it is we, we may have started it a little too early and, and kind of had to take

841
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:17.280
a break, uh, for a bit. Um, and now we're coming back. Um, but it's like, there's going to be

842
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:21.200
treasure that comes out of these things. The Lord is going to give you these treasure and it's trying

843
00:59:21.200 --> 00:59:25.920
to figure out like, okay, now I have all these things like Lord's confirming things to you.

844
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:30.480
Like he's got, you got some clarity. You've got all this, again, all these assets now,

845
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:33.440
all this knowledge, all this training, the certification, all the stuff that you've put

846
00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:37.040
together. And now you're ready. Now it's like, Lord's going to be like, cool, let's go, let's

847
00:59:37.040 --> 00:59:40.240
go take that mountain. And you're like, cool. I know to do this, can do that, do that. Cause

848
00:59:40.240 --> 00:59:43.600
you've like, you've built all those muscles and you've built all, you have all the tools,

849
00:59:43.600 --> 00:59:51.040
um, ready to go. And so I think that it's just a powerful, um, you know, obviously it, and again,

850
00:59:51.040 --> 00:59:55.680
it is building in you the thing. And it, it, a lot of it, yes, there's tools, but there's probably

851
00:59:55.680 --> 00:59:59.840
a lot of like identity shift in that, like, Hey, I had to invest time.

852
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.520
I'm in Marcella to like, you know, learn this thing or Marcella is worth it for

853
01:00:05.520 --> 01:00:09.420
me to spend, you know, buy this other program or this thing, or like show up

854
01:00:09.720 --> 01:00:12.600
on a Tuesday and like, you know, try to grow my business and all that.

855
01:00:12.600 --> 01:00:18.000
So, um, it, that's the stuff that really shifts the most is like, we, we're

856
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.920
obviously after the thing, like the business we're making money or like

857
01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.720
whatever the thing is, but there's also this like healing journey that goes

858
01:00:23.720 --> 01:00:27.960
alongside it and that's really what we're finding is like really pulling.

859
01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:32.760
Like if you want to do take on big things in the Lord, like having that, that firm

860
01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:37.160
foundation and your identity and the heart healing and all of that stuff is so

861
01:00:37.160 --> 01:00:37.840
critical.

862
01:00:38.200 --> 01:00:42.920
Um, and the tactics, you know, those are easy to teach, um, but, and that they

863
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:46.600
come and go, but like, it's the heart stuff that, that, that is really, what's

864
01:00:46.600 --> 01:00:48.680
going to bring you through to the next level.

865
01:00:49.080 --> 01:00:50.600
Um, so that's awesome.

866
01:00:50.600 --> 01:00:51.880
Well, thanks for sharing Marcella.

867
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:52.800
It's exciting.

868
01:00:53.160 --> 01:00:56.920
Two, two things I want to add to that, because one is one thing Marcella wrote

869
01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:59.200
down, you guys didn't come too early.

870
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:00.160
Okay.

871
01:01:00.160 --> 01:01:01.560
You were right on time.

872
01:01:02.080 --> 01:01:02.520
Okay.

873
01:01:02.560 --> 01:01:05.600
Lord has his own timetable for, for everything.

874
01:01:06.040 --> 01:01:11.120
And I don't know if you remember, but shortly after we really got started, one

875
01:01:11.120 --> 01:01:13.120
of our sons died of a brain aneurysm.

876
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:18.760
And I needed to be in the place that I was in and I was there because of you in

877
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:21.480
order to deal with that, deal with that properly.

878
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:23.320
So that meant that meant a lot.

879
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:24.400
Okay.

880
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:32.560
Um, and the other thing in terms of God's, um, God's timing, you know, he, we went

881
01:01:32.560 --> 01:01:35.920
through the past year we've been moving around and we knew that the Lord was

882
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:39.960
calling us to move and then we got some idea of where it was going to be.

883
01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:43.440
It didn't happen in the timing that we wanted, but we finally figured it out.

884
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:47.680
And then we, we move a place temporarily that we move somewhere else.

885
01:01:48.120 --> 01:01:51.400
And then it finally looked like we found the right area.

886
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:56.240
And I came up and long story short, absolutely nothing went according to plan

887
01:01:56.680 --> 01:01:58.440
and it all went the way it was supposed to.

888
01:01:59.920 --> 01:02:00.960
And it was perfect.

889
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:02.600
It was just, you know, enabled me.

890
01:02:02.600 --> 01:02:04.440
The place that we've got now is calm.

891
01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:07.200
It's peaceful and enabled me to finish the book.

892
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:08.360
Oh, Macy.

893
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:11.120
So I just wanted to show you, thank you.

894
01:02:11.160 --> 01:02:12.000
Okay.

895
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:15.080
So that this is actually the proof.

896
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:18.040
They messed it up to prove it again, but that's okay.

897
01:02:18.680 --> 01:02:20.560
Um, but I got it finished.

898
01:02:20.600 --> 01:02:21.520
Okay.

899
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:28.080
Um, and, and so we're, we're here, you know, and we have a particular timetable

900
01:02:28.080 --> 01:02:32.040
on our own heads, but God has his own timetable and I think more of it has to

901
01:02:32.040 --> 01:02:37.200
do with growing us to the place that we have to be at in order to fulfill the

902
01:02:37.200 --> 01:02:41.240
vision that he's given us, then it has more to do with that than, than anything

903
01:02:41.240 --> 01:02:41.600
else.

904
01:02:42.040 --> 01:02:44.920
And some of those things take longer and some of those things we know about

905
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:46.120
and some of those things we don't.

906
01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:51.480
But, you know, that was just, that's just the way that, that things go.

907
01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:54.840
So God's timing is the right timing.

908
01:02:55.360 --> 01:03:01.200
Our duty is just to partner with him and, and, and listen and, you know, edify

909
01:03:01.200 --> 01:03:06.440
one another, affirm one another, you know, confirm all the things that, that, that

910
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:07.120
God is doing.

911
01:03:07.120 --> 01:03:09.280
That's why we're, that's why we're all in all of it.

912
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:10.240
That's how it's great.

913
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:11.640
So good guys.

914
01:03:12.200 --> 01:03:12.880
Well, great session.

915
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:15.360
I'm glad, uh, got to hang out with all of you again.

916
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.480
And I know basically we'll do some other stuff this week.

917
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:21.800
So get into the, um, just, you know, implementing all this stuff, right?

918
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.440
Like getting, first we got to get the vision, then we can like know where to

919
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:26.280
go and, um, then we've got all of us.
