00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
So, what did you, maybe Justin, because you've done it,

2
00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.880
what was it like and maybe how would you describe

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.680
the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge to someone who's fresh

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:16.440
and just thinking, oh mate, I might give this thing a go.

5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.600
So, I'm a real rhythm guy anyway,

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.640
but what I really loved about

7
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.480
21 Day Hard Things Challenge is that,

8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.600
you know, it puts the big rhythms in your life,

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.600
which is going to set you up for fruitfulness

10
00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:31.040
and success.

11
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.200
So, basically what happens is there's 12 things

12
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.440
that you do each day, not as a perfection,

13
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:41.440
not as, you want to do them as a response

14
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:44.920
to wanting to live a fruitful life.

15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.240
You're not doing it out of a perfection

16
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.280
or workspace things, but it's actually liberating

17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.360
to do all these things.

18
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.680
And I found over both the first 21 days,

19
00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:59.000
the second 21 days, that even on your worst day,

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.280
it's still a pretty good day doing those 12 things, right?

21
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:04.519
So, it's pretty cool.

22
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.480
So, I highly recommend it.

23
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.520
Oh, cool, bud.

24
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:08.680
Very cool.

25
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.400
Tricia, good to have you jumping on board.

26
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.400
Angela, Cheryl, Cynthia, a few people jumping in here

27
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:16.440
on the go.

28
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.080
Alan, welcome.

29
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.200
Good to have you guys jumping in.

30
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:27.600
So, Justin, for you, I mean, like you said,

31
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.080
you're pretty big on rhythm already.

32
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.360
You've got good discipline.

33
00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:35.280
You've got pretty good rhythms and structures in your life.

34
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:36.600
Is there anything you feel like,

35
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:38.240
hey, this actually just kind of helped me

36
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:41.120
refine this part of my life, or it helped me build,

37
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.040
or encouraged me to step out a bit in this area?

38
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:47.120
The grateful thing is good.

39
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.320
You know, coming up with 10 things every day

40
00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:54.000
to be grateful for, like in the second one,

41
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.600
I don't know whether we're going to 100.

42
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:58.760
Please tell me we're not going to 100 in the third one.

43
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.560
But, you know, that's challenging.

44
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.040
Probably moving the body, even though I do sport,

45
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.520
I'll put in a stretching routine as soon as I wake up,

46
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.000
and that's been great, because I'm getting older.

47
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.560
And the three liters of water, just really nailing in that.

48
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.360
And intentionally loving someone,

49
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.560
just to have that focus and laser,

50
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.560
who is it today that I'm going to really intentionally bless?

51
00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:32.480
And the triggers have been pretty cool as well.

52
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.400
So I sort of forgot a bit about those in my life.

53
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.480
So I've got a few triggers that I'm working on,

54
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:42.560
which is pretty cool.

55
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.240
Nice.

56
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.480
That is very, very cool.

57
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:47.320
Sweet.

58
00:02:47.320 --> 00:02:49.440
Oh, we've got a couple more fun people jumping in here,

59
00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:50.360
which is great.

60
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.160
And what I might do for anyone who's fresh

61
00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:58.880
is I'll just pull up in a second.

62
00:02:58.880 --> 00:02:59.720
Hi, guys.

63
00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:00.560
Welcome.

64
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:01.400
Welcome, Eli.

65
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.280
Welcome.

66
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.120
Helen.

67
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:05.960
Welcome.

68
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.600
Good to have you guys jumping in.

69
00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:09.360
And I, in a moment,

70
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.360
I'll just pull up the little list there for people,

71
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.080
so they can kind of see what the 21 day

72
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.040
hard things challenges is about.

73
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:21.560
But Eli, you've been having a blast.

74
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.080
You've done great on the hard things challenge,

75
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.200
and you've been doing it with your lovely lady.

76
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.600
Tell us a little bit about how the

77
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:33.360
hard things challenge has been for you guys lately.

78
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.480
How did you find that?

79
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:41.480
You there, Eli?

80
00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:42.320
Can you hear us?

81
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:45.840
Can you guys hear me well?

82
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:47.760
My mute's working.

83
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.320
Yeah, we can hear you.

84
00:03:50.320 --> 00:03:52.160
I think it, I wasn't sure if it was cutting in

85
00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:54.520
and out a little bit, but we can definitely hear you.

86
00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:58.320
Yes.

87
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.200
Sorry.

88
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:04.560
Hi.

89
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.000
Sorry.

90
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.840
Okay.

91
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:07.680
Sorry about that.

92
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:10.160
It went really well.

93
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.880
I really enjoyed it.

94
00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:16.839
It was very transformational to me

95
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.839
because the Lord was teaching more about who I am.

96
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.240
Like when you're going through that,

97
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.120
you're finding mental blocks,

98
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.360
mental challenges as you're going through.

99
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.440
And then you're just learning so much

100
00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:33.520
about how renewal of the mind is more than just,

101
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.200
it's just, you see how the body and the spiritual

102
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:38.800
and the mental all interconnect.

103
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.720
And then you just see, there's moments where I realized

104
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.880
that as soon as I got done with the first level one

105
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.200
and then starting into level two,

106
00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:49.480
I just realized how they all melded in together.

107
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.280
And I just, one day, I don't know how to explain it.

108
00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:54.040
Like I was dealing with a lot of depression

109
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.720
and mental battles and spiritual mental battles

110
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:57.560
at the same time.

111
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.040
And all of a sudden as I'm doing these.

112
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.840
like level one, level two, the first part I was doing was really tough for me because I was going

113
00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:08.960
through all these depression and stuff and then all of a sudden I got to like level towards the

114
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:14.640
end of level one to level two it just I don't know how to explain it but I felt like training

115
00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:20.880
like that training kicked in all of a sudden where when that depression and that oppression came

116
00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.440
all of a sudden I felt like all of that training kicked in and I just felt like there's a reflex

117
00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.560
when my body and my mental just all of a sudden realigned with my spirit you know and I was so

118
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.600
surprised when that happened one day and I was like whoa you know like normally I'd be depressed

119
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.600
but now I just like it's just like instead of being depressed more my body just like went

120
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:50.560
the opposite and I was like whoa so I was really surprised to see that yeah oh man that is great

121
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:59.200
news yeah so um and I think this is this kind of like it creates real synergy so let me just pull

122
00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:04.320
this up so for anyone who's fresh and you're like hey what is this 21 day hard things challenge

123
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.480

124
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:18.320
and pull this bad boy up all right so this is the like Justin was saying there's 12

125
00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:25.760
there's 12 things on the on the list for the 21 day hard things challenge most of these things are

126
00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:31.840
pretty basics basic things that a lot of people would incorporate in their life or at least it's

127
00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:37.520
aspire to incorporate in their life on a daily basis so the first one is praying in the spirit

128
00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:42.240
for five minutes so this is level one there's a level two and there's a level three and we'll kind

129
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:50.000
um chat about them and we'll highlight level three as well for people who are thinking oh man I'm

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.560
I've just done level one level two I'm be quite keen to jump into level three so first of all

131
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.040
level one and I want you guys just to think about this and say whether you think it's achievable or

132
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:06.400

159
00:09:57.680 --> 00:09:59.840
you can either chuck it in the chat or you can unmute

160
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.840
It can be a bit rowdy. It doesn't really matter.

161
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.160
You can make a bit of noise.

162
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.360
But I'm just going to go through there.

163
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.400
And I just wanted to say achievable or not achievable

164
00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:12.080
as we go through there and just say like,

165
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.000
what do you think? Is this achievable?

166
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.920
Because I know there's a few people who haven't done it before

167
00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:18.960
and there's a few people who are here who are like pros.

168
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.400
And there's a few people here who are thinking,

169
00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:22.560
oh, what's this level 3? I'm just about to go in there.

170
00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:26.800
And then we're going to chat just some of the generic ideas

171
00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:29.280
around this hard things challenge as well.

172
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.760
So let me just hit screen share again.

173
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.880
Okay. Right.

174
00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:44.880
So everyone, just give me achievable or not achievable

175
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:47.520
on number one, praying in the spirit for five minutes.

176
00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:48.080
What do you think?

177
00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:49.360
Achievable.

178
00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:51.920
Yep. Sweet.

179
00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:53.280
Yep. Achievable.

180
00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:56.880
Okay. So this is for the level one.

181
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.480
Level one, what we do is we read through the book of Proverbs.

182
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:06.160
Level two, it changes to Ezra and Nehemiah.

183
00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:09.040
And level three, it changes again.

184
00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:12.960
So we just kind of read through different books of the Bible

185
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:13.600
as we go.

186
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.800
And then actually what happens is when people have kind of

187
00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:19.840
finished level three, we actually have a just,

188
00:11:20.400 --> 00:11:22.240
we're actually reading through the Bible together

189
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.760
for those who want to.

190
00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:24.960
We're kind of like, okay, sweet.

191
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.000
At the moment, we're going through Matthew and Ecclesiastes.

192
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.720
And it's just.

193
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:34.640
Yeah. So for those who are keen,

194
00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:36.400
we've basically got like a little bit of a scripture

195
00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:37.840
reading thing that we're doing together.

196
00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:41.040
So record your favorite verse.

197
00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:41.920
Is that achievable?

198
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:42.560
Not achievable?

199
00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:43.760
Yep. Achievable.

200
00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:44.320
Achievable.

201
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:44.880
Achievable.

202
00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:45.360
Achievable.

203
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:46.880
Absolutely.

204
00:11:46.880 --> 00:11:48.000
What you're grateful for.

205
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.280
Yes.

206
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:50.080
Yep. Achievable.

207
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.680
Achievable.

208
00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:56.880
And then like Justin mentioned in level two,

209
00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:00.800
that goes from three things up to 10 things.

210
00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:03.440
So, but it stays the same in level three.

211
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.040
It's just, it's just 10 things.

212
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.000
Complete daily declarations.

213
00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:13.840
Now, what we, if you haven't seen,

214
00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:17.200
if you haven't seen the videos,

215
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.800
like what we encourage,

216
00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:20.560
I'd definitely encourage you to do is

217
00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:26.080
check out the videos in the hard things challenge guide

218
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.120
that just talk you through like more of the details,

219
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.480
like going in depth on this,

220
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.800
but quickly like complete your daily declarations.

221
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:38.640
That's about you framing up some declarations

222
00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:41.120
around what you want your future to look like.

223
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.640
We encourage people to go for seven,

224
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:43.760
but it really doesn't matter.

225
00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:46.880
You can have as many as you like.

226
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:52.640
Let me just pause for a second here.

227
00:12:52.640 --> 00:12:55.280
We've got someone just chatting randomly in the background.

228
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.920
That's always a good way to get yourself muted.

229
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.440
Random chats in the background.

230
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.240
Right. Here we go.

231
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.440
Pop back up again for me, my friend.

232
00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:15.120
Move your body for at least five minutes.

233
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.640
Achievable, not achievable.

234
00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:17.200
Achievable.

235
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:18.880
Achievable.

236
00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:20.240
Eat something awesome.

237
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.040
Who likes that one?

238
00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:21.600
Achievable.

239
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.200
Very achievable.

240
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.040
Drink three liters of water.

241
00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:28.480
Sometimes people struggle on that.

242
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.080
We say two to three liters,

243
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.320
but you know, like we definitely want people

244
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.040
to be shooting for at least two liters.

245
00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:38.080
And then, you know, like some days,

246
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.680
you might just be working out a bit more.

247
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.440
Go for that three liters.

248
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.800
Some people are in hotter climates

249
00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:44.160
and it's like, man, three liters.

250
00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:45.440
I die if I don't have three liters.

251
00:13:47.520 --> 00:13:49.120
Does that include tea, coffee?

252
00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:50.720
That's water.

253
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.280
The whole point is to help people

254
00:13:53.280 --> 00:13:55.120
transition into drinking water.

255
00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:57.840
For the power of it.

256
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.400
See, yeah.

257
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:04.720
Would you count like zero calorie flavor water stuff or?

258
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.760
The whole point is like a flavored water.

259
00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:10.640
Like a zero calorie.

260
00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:12.080
Yeah, it's got junk in it.

261
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:12.480
Rubbish.

262
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.520
They're lying to you.

263
00:14:13.520 --> 00:14:14.880
They're lying through their teeth

264
00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:17.200
and they're just marketing scum to you.

265
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.920
So while it feels good sometimes to drink,

266
00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:21.200
then it tastes kind of nice.

267
00:14:22.400 --> 00:14:22.800
Water.

268
00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:26.080
You're going to kind of balance that out sometimes.

269
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.400
I don't know.

270
00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:29.120
Depends on you if you've got like lead piping

271
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.720
and it's like, well, this is probably best.

272
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.520
But just in general, I recommend is the whole point

273
00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:35.600
is just water for the value,

274
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.000
the massive physical benefits of just drinking water.

275
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.840
So the best water you can get, go for it.

276
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.960
That'll be a sacrifice.

277
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.560
What was that?

278
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:46.640
That will be a sacrifice for me

279
00:14:46.640 --> 00:14:49.440
because I like lemon water and yeah.

280
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.520
Well, I mean, if you've got water

281
00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:53.120
and you put some lemon in it.

282
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:53.600
Lemon.

283
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.080
Yep.

284
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.600
That's not a big deal.

285
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.240
That's fine.

286
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.880
That's not like.

287
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:58.560
That's yeah.

288
00:14:58.560 --> 00:14:59.360
So if you want to.

289
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.360
Hold on to something I'm saying, isn't it?

290
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.680
Not sugar.

291
00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:04.680
Yeah, don't put sugar and junk in it.

292
00:15:04.680 --> 00:15:06.880
If you wanted to drop some lemon in there or something,

293
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:08.560
yeah, no worries.

294
00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:10.520
Actually, I've got a water filter machine.

295
00:15:10.520 --> 00:15:13.160
I've got one of these Enagic machines and it's great.

296
00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:17.160
But if I'm not by my Enagic machine and I've got tap water,

297
00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:19.640
it's so difficult to drink tap water for me.

298
00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:23.480
The only way I can do tap water is lemon and ice,

299
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:28.120
and I've got to totally redesign that water

300
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.760
because it's like the tap water is not always great.

301
00:15:30.760 --> 00:15:36.760
So you've got to make it not toxic or lemon, ice, whatever.

302
00:15:36.760 --> 00:15:37.720
Figure it out.

303
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.640
But the idea is definitely water.

304
00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:43.400
Intentionally love on someone, achievable or not achievable?

305
00:15:43.400 --> 00:15:45.160
Achievable.

306
00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:46.760
OK, practice your trigger.

307
00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:50.600
That's one that is intentionally mysterious.

308
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.520
So people often like practice your trigger.

309
00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:55.360
What does that mean?

310
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.600
The whole idea of having a trigger,

311
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.080
oftentimes people go a trigger, isn't that a bad thing

312
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.480
where someone's about to have like a major emotional outburst?

313
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:09.560
Practicing your trigger is about creating something

314
00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:14.160
that's going to trigger you to remember to actually do the practice.

315
00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:16.320
So I've got this little thing here that says trigger.

316
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.160
It just hangs out right by my desk.

317
00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:20.960
It's been here for months.

318
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.840
And what the trigger is, is basically means practice.

319
00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:25.760
It's about practicing the presence of God.

320
00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:29.000
So it's just about putting your attention on the presence of God.

321
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.440
So it doesn't have to be for a long time.

322
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.280
It can be for a moment.

323
00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:34.480
But the whole idea is to get in this rhythm

324
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.160
of inviting God into the little moments.

325
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.920
So it could be that you decide, hey, I'm going to set my alarm

326
00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:42.360
for a few times a day.

327
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.920
I'm just going to practice the presence.

328
00:16:48.520 --> 00:16:52.120
Or it could be, you know, like some people have it,

329
00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:53.960
you know, have their drink bottle and they're going to have a drink.

330
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:55.120
They're practicing the presence.

331
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.120
So the whole idea is just to kind of create a trigger, like something

332
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.400
that's going to help you remember to practice the presence of God,

333
00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:04.319
because a practice becomes a habit.

334
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.520
A habit becomes a reflex.

335
00:17:06.520 --> 00:17:07.920
Reflex becomes a lifestyle.

336
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.560
A lifestyle becomes a state of being.

337
00:17:09.560 --> 00:17:13.680
So the whole idea is to start that process of shifting

338
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.680
into living in the conscious awareness of the presence of God.

339
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.319
Well, when you explain it like that, that's fairly easy.

340
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.920
Cool. Cool. Achievable, not achievable.

341
00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:24.359
Achievable. Achievable.

342
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.280
Yeah, Benji, I got a little bit out of it.

343
00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:28.960
Yeah, you go for it.

344
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.480
So I'm just speaking on that

345
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.760
because when we talk about practicing the church, like the presence of the Lord,

346
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.720
I've been practicing that.

347
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.160
But I guess my question for that, and this is just for my own

348
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.200
benefit of acknowledging that is when we say practice the presence of the Lord,

349
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.920
it's more of a just like you said, like a conscious awareness of the Lord.

350
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.080
It's not always a feeling of that right off the bat. Right.

351
00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:55.600
And I'm just doing that just from.

352
00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:59.800
Yeah, just because I want to know, because I'm

353
00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:03.440
and I'm not speaking this because I told you a lot of things that I dealt with was

354
00:18:04.600 --> 00:18:07.120
and the Lord's been helping deliver this from me.

355
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:10.960
A lot of things I dealt with was like kind of like an obsessive,

356
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.000
compulsive disorder, like what they call a religious OCD.

357
00:18:14.040 --> 00:18:15.520
I don't know if you ever heard of that.

358
00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:19.200
Yeah. So I've been like the Lord's been helping me

359
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.160
walk through this journey.

360
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.200
I'm telling you this two years ago, three years ago, when I hear the presence of God,

361
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.240
like I've read the book called Practicing the Presence of God

362
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.520
and I would get very obsessed about that, you know, so I just want to like

363
00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:33.520
from my own clarity with that, like when we say

364
00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:37.000
practicing the presence of God and it's always being aware of him,

365
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.160
it's not always like a feeling per se.

366
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.440
I mean, yes, totally.

367
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.360
So I'll speak to that and then we'll come back to the other two.

368
00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:48.200
There's some really powerful

369
00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:52.920
elements that play in this

370
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.800
and in practicing the presence of God that actually have

371
00:18:56.840 --> 00:19:00.240
application in our whole spiritual journey.

372
00:19:00.280 --> 00:19:07.320
So Isaiah six, it says, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty.

373
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.720
The whole earth is filled with his glory.

374
00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:15.120
So thousands of years ago, from heaven's perspective,

375
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:18.560
the whole earth is filled with the glory of God.

376
00:19:19.560 --> 00:19:24.760
Every breath that you breathe is filled with the glory of God.

377
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.520
Now, you can take a breath

378
00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:35.360
without placing any faith on that breath, that the glory of God is in that breath.

379
00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:40.560
And without faith, it won't empower the reality

380
00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:44.600
that the presence of God infuses every molecule in existence.

381
00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:49.160
So every breath you breathe, you breathe in the glory of God. Now.

382
00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:53.200
Without faith, that doesn't

383
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:59.800
that present power doesn't get activated. Right.

384
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:08.640
But so there's a lot of things that are like this which you would just say they are present reality

385
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:17.360
and a present reality gets activated by faith. But if you aren't aware of a present reality,

386
00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:23.440
or if you don't attach any faith to a present reality, you won't activate the power of that

387
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:33.360
present reality. For example, Paul said in Acts 17 27, in him we live and move and have our being.

388
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:41.280
John 17 22, Jesus said, I've given them the same glory that the Father gave me,

389
00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:48.800
that they may be one as we are one. So there's this present reality of oneness,

390
00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:55.040
that you are as one as one can be with the Trinity, that in them you live and move and

391
00:20:55.040 --> 00:21:00.080
have your being, and that their glory infuses every molecule in existence.

392
00:21:01.040 --> 00:21:06.400
Now that's a present reality that a lot of people aren't consciously aware of.

393
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:11.520
They're not aware of it, or they have no agreement with it, they don't believe it. But

394
00:21:12.320 --> 00:21:17.520
your faith or your agreement with that reality will activate the power of that reality.

395
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:23.200
So when you practice the presence, you can just do it by faith, right? It doesn't have to have

396
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:29.840
a feeling. It doesn't have to have a feeling to qualify the reality, right? It doesn't have to

397
00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:35.840
have a feeling to qualify the promise. It doesn't have to have a feeling to qualify reality. If the

398
00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:42.560
Word of God says that in him we live and move and have our being, it doesn't matter how distant you

399
00:21:42.560 --> 00:21:47.520
feel, how disconnected you feel. It doesn't matter if you feel like, you know, like it doesn't matter

400
00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:53.520
what your feelings are doing. Practicing the presence can be as simple as telling your feelings

401
00:21:53.520 --> 00:22:02.240
the truth. You know, it's like it's shifting your attention onto a reality and placing your

402
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:08.000
agreement with that. Now, you may not necessarily feel anything in that moment. But what,

403
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:13.600
interestingly in my life, I never even knew that there was such a thing for most of, like,

404
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:19.200
it was probably not until I was in my 20s that I even discovered, and it's even after years

405
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:24.880
of pressing in prayer, that I even discovered there was such a thing as the manifest presence

406
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:30.320
of God. I didn't even know that you could actually have a, you know, I had such a religious background,

407
00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:34.560
I didn't know you could have a tangible experience with the presence of God or with the

408
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:41.120
glory of God. I mean, holy moly, I was missing out on all the best stuff. But I didn't know.

409
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:51.680
So you might not experience it. You might be like me, where for years you don't even know there's a,

410
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:56.800
there's the opportunity to experience the presence of God, or you just don't know it's there. But once

411
00:22:56.800 --> 00:23:01.120
you become aware of it, and maybe you're not experiencing it, but you want to, what I would

412
00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:05.760
say is that the best way to get hit by a train is to hang out on the train tracks.

413
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:14.880
So if you want to get hit by the manifest presence of God, the, you know, the equivalent of that

414
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:20.400
analogy would be place all your agreement with those few verses that I've just shared with you,

415
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:26.960
that you're as one as one can be, John 17 22, in him you live and move and have your being,

416
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:38.240
at 1727. And then Isaiah six, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, the whole earth is

417
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:45.040
filled with his glory. So there's this concept of present reality, which is activated by faith.

418
00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:50.080
And even if you're not experiencing it right away, that's the great, that's the best way to shift

419
00:23:50.080 --> 00:23:55.120
your entire reality, shift your entire state of being is just by practicing the presence of God.

420
00:23:55.120 --> 00:24:01.360
So I went from not knowing that the presence of God even exists to now, I can pretty much at will,

421
00:24:01.360 --> 00:24:06.480
I'm it would be extremely rare if I didn't experience it, like I can feel the manifest

422
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.280
presence of God, like wrapping around my body right now, just speaking of it, you know, I can

423
00:24:11.280 --> 00:24:17.600
feel the tangible supernatural glory of God wrapping around my body vibrating around the

424
00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:22.640
outside of my body vibrating on the inside of my body. And I know that if I want to right now,

425
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:28.080
I could just lean into that, even as I'm speaking, I mean, I don't have to say a thing, I don't have

426
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:33.600
to ship like doing, I can just lean in, I can feel that the the glory of God even right now,

427
00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:40.160
just speaking about it, placing attention on it, the weightiness is increasing, the intensity is

428
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:47.200
increasing, I'm starting like, whoa, so I can just lean in there as much as I want to in that moment.

429
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.080
But it comes from practicing the presence after all of practicing the presence, all of a sudden,

430
00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:59.680
you start realizing, wow, actually, let me bring up this really cool line from a Psalm, it's just

431
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.840
amazing. It's called The Highways to Zion. I think, let me pull

432
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:13.960
some up. Psalm 84, and you only find this in the amplified

433
00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:18.600
version, Psalm 84, verse 5, in the amplified version, it says,

434
00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:28.080
blessed are those, blessed are those in whose heart are the

435
00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:31.400
highways to Zion. Let me, I'll just pull up, it'll be the

436
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.480
amplified classic as well. It won't just be the necessary,

437
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:39.400
just the amplified, but in the amplified classic, I'll bring it

438
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:46.320
up for you. So I can read it exactly. Psalm 84, the amplified

439
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:50.280
classic, they've got the amplified version and then the

440
00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:52.440
amplified classic and the amplified classic is where the

441
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:58.000
real juices. So verse 4, blessed, happy, fortunate to be

442
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.600
envied are those who dwell in your house and your presence.

443
00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:17.120
Oh, that's funny. Let me just double check that. 84 verse 5,

444
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:23.360
that's why. 84 verse 5, blessed, happy, fortunate to be

445
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:27.280
envied is the man whose strength is in you in whose heart are the

446
00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:32.040
highways to Zion. That's what I wanted to touch on there. In

447
00:26:32.040 --> 00:26:35.560
whose heart are the highways to Zion. That's what the practice

448
00:26:35.560 --> 00:26:38.840
of the presence actually creates is a highway to Zion. So you

449
00:26:38.840 --> 00:26:41.560
might be like, I occasionally experience the presence of God.

450
00:26:41.560 --> 00:26:44.520
Well, you want to shift from there by practicing it, you're

451
00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:49.080
going to build a highway, which will mean at any moment, you can

452
00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:53.000
get completely undone in the glory of God. I would say like,

453
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:58.600
I'm at any point in time, all I am is just the, there's no time

454
00:26:58.600 --> 00:27:02.480
involved. It's just the shifting of attention, a choice away, is

455
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.440
it? Yes, it's simply the shifting of attention away from

456
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.000
the highways to Zion. So you can go from chatting to someone to

457
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.960
all of a sudden undone, and overwhelmed by the glory of God.

458
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.600
You know what, what have you built into your life? Have you

459
00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:21.960
built like a, you know, a little path through the jungle? Or have

460
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.160
you built the highways into the glory?

461
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:32.560
Yeah, I have that scripture in the Passion Translation saved on

462
00:27:32.560 --> 00:27:37.320
my phone. Because I was like I said, a lot of the struggles

463
00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:40.080
that I went through in that what really helped me with the 21

464
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.040
daily habits was, because sometimes when you go through,

465
00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:47.440
like I said, a lot of things that I dealt with religious OCD.

466
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.320
So like this perfectionism, and there was like depression, all

467
00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:53.000
that stuff. And so when I was going through this, sometimes

468
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.520
one of the hardest things you're very hard on yourself, you know,

469
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.000
and then the Lord was showing me that scripture, he says, that's

470
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.600
who you are, you actually desire my heart, your heart, you you

471
00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:06.400
have this heart inside you that does that creates that pathway

472
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.280
into you know, and he was saying as an encouragement to me, but

473
00:28:09.280 --> 00:28:11.680
he was also saying as encouragement to us as a body

474
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.520
that when we practice that, like, I was just amazing. So I

475
00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:19.640
just I just I'm blessed because I felt like tonight was a divine

476
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.120
appointment. So amen.

477
00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:25.520
That's cool. Well, that's a great, great verse. Dorcas, good

478
00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:29.760
to see you there as well. And Sharon, and Sandy and Steven and

479
00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:34.720
Sylvia and Christina and Robert and Andy and Nina. I see a few

480
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:40.800
of you extra guys jumping in. Great to have you. And so let

481
00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:44.080
me let me just go a little bit deeper on this of where this

482
00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:48.040
become where this becomes even more powerful as applying the

483
00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:51.360
concept of present reality across the board in your

484
00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:54.360
spiritual life. This is not something that Christians have

485
00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:57.360
done. Well, Christians have substituted faith for

486
00:28:57.360 --> 00:29:01.000
performance, we haven't even realized that we've done it. And

487
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:04.560
you know, like, if you don't realize that you've created an

488
00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:08.440
issue, you know, if you don't realize you have a problem, it's

489
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.240
very difficult to come up with a solution, right? Because there

490
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.120
you are thinking there's no problem. But this is one of the

491
00:29:15.120 --> 00:29:20.200
things that's a major issue in in Christianity all around the

492
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:25.240
world, is that we've substituted present reality for performance

493
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:30.040
based acceptance. And so what I was talking to you about there

494
00:29:30.040 --> 00:29:34.480
with the with practicing the presence, it's simply putting

495
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.760
your attention on the present reality that you're as one as

496
00:29:38.760 --> 00:29:46.960
one can be. Now, the present reality concept, you know, is

497
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:51.240
that as a grace based concept, which the grace element of it is

498
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.920
that you have nothing to do with the fact that in him you live

499
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.960
and move and have your being. That's not that's not based on

500
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:00.080
your performance.

501
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.280
not based on your righteousness, that's not based on your achievement, that's based on grace, that

502
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:15.440
He included us in Him. I think it's 1 Corinthians 1, I think. It is because of Christ that we are

503
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:21.520
in Him, right? It's not our doing that we are in Him. It's also, so these are actually really

504
00:30:21.520 --> 00:30:30.800
interesting things to consider. What is not of your doing? What are the things that God claims

505
00:30:30.800 --> 00:30:37.200
exclusive credit for? Because where there's things that God claims exclusive credit for,

506
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:46.640
then you don't have to do anything to make those things real. You just have to apply the power of

507
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:53.840
faith to activate that present reality in your life. So one thing that you don't have anything

508
00:30:53.840 --> 00:31:00.720
to do with is your identity, right? You were made in the image of God.

509
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.600
He did that. He did that all by Himself and He didn't ask for your help.

510
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.800
That's a present reality that you were made in the image of God and it happened before you were

511
00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:21.440
born. You've got absolutely nothing to do with this dynamic that you were made in the image of God.

512
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:29.280
So that's a by grace thing, right? That's the gift of God is that He made you in His image

513
00:31:29.280 --> 00:31:37.440
and did He do a good job, average job, poor or perfect job? Perfect job. So if God did a perfect job

514
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:50.240
of making you in His image, I would say that's a pretty special identity that you're made

515
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:54.480
perfectly in the image of God and it's got absolutely nothing to do with you.

516
00:31:57.360 --> 00:32:02.880
I mean, I don't know if you have a picture of what it means to be made in the image of God

517
00:32:03.280 --> 00:32:09.200
or what it means to be made perfectly in the image of God but that's a pretty high standard

518
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.240
of your identity. There is no higher level of identity. There's no higher level of perfection

519
00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:20.560
that you could ever hope to attain for and you've got nothing to do with that present reality.

520
00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:27.040
That was all exclusively done by God and you've got nothing to do with it.

521
00:32:27.040 --> 00:32:36.000
The only thing that you can influence in that present reality is whether or not you experience

522
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:44.960
the power of it. And this is where practicing the presence is about actually practicing faith.

523
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:52.240
You actually have to practice faith. Faith doesn't just happen out of nowhere. Faith is

524
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:58.480
something that you build. Faith is something you actually practice. Faith is a muscle. And so

525
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:07.840
by practicing the presence in the 21-Day Hard Things Challenge, what you're actually doing

526
00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:12.960
is you're predisposing yourself for success in every other area of your spiritual life

527
00:33:13.520 --> 00:33:21.360
where faith is relevant, which is every part of your life. So present reality, let me just

528
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:29.520
touch on this for a moment, like your identity. When you start getting this, it gets very, very,

529
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:37.440
like, not very, very, change that. It gets completely revolutionary for your entire existence.

530
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:46.240
It redefines reality for you because imagine if you stopped being defined by your past experiences

531
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:53.760
and imagine if you became exclusively defined by the present reality that you're as perfect as God

532
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:04.320
and it's got nothing to do with you. But if you would place your agreement with God's perspective

533
00:34:04.320 --> 00:34:09.440
that he made you perfectly in his image, if you would place your agreement with that and if you

534
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.280
would practice placing your agreement with that, you would experience the power of that reality

535
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:24.400
beginning to manifest in your life. Fun, right? Yes. Laura, good to see you. Wally, good to see you.

536
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:33.920
I think I saw Opal jump in there for a moment. Cool. Any thoughts on that, guys?

537
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:42.719
Is that good? That is good, Benji. That was good. Yeah. I'll add one more thing on this

538
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:47.840
because that's so revolutionary. It's crazy because Christianity has made,

539
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.880
has created lines that never existed between Christian and non-Christian.

540
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.840
Right, this might seem crazy to some of you.

541
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.640
you. But sonship is not something that if you want to

542
00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:08.800
understand sonship, if you want to understand adoption, you

543
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.000
know, because because Christians have made up made up a lot of

544
00:35:12.120 --> 00:35:16.400
interesting ideas that that, you know, Jesus didn't actually

545
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.560
teach. One of them is, is this concept of being adopted as

546
00:35:21.560 --> 00:35:25.120
though you at one point, you were never a son, and as though

547
00:35:25.120 --> 00:35:27.680
at one point, God was never your father.

548
00:35:28.560 --> 00:35:29.440
And that's not true.

549
00:35:30.040 --> 00:35:35.440
So the way that a great way to understand it, and this is why I

550
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.440
actually wrote that book called The Good Father is because the

551
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:45.840
best articulation of the entire gospel is in the parable of what

552
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.080
we call the lost son. Now the Greek word for lost there is

553
00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:56.080
Apollyon, which you know, which we use for perishing lost or

554
00:35:56.080 --> 00:36:01.360
like inhale, like it's a big word. So the Apollyon son, you

555
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.920
know, like in Luke 14, there's the lost coin, the lost sheep

556
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.440
and the lost son. Right. So they're all the same word Apollyon.

557
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.880
He's trying to actually define that word Apollyon, which was

558
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.160
used as perishing. It's the word that's used for like as far

559
00:36:16.160 --> 00:36:18.480
away from God as you can imagine. Right. It's disconnected.

560
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.280
It's lost. It's perishing. Then that's the type of word we would

561
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.120
say, you know, this is real far from God. Right. So Jesus is

562
00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:30.880
defining that word lost here. And he uses that he uses that

563
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.080
word in the context of the story because it's so beautiful.

564
00:36:34.080 --> 00:36:39.440
And every time he refers to the lost son, every time in that

565
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.360
story, he refers to him as a son. It doesn't matter how lost

566
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.680
he gets. He's always referred to as a son, the entire story.

567
00:36:47.680 --> 00:36:51.760
And it doesn't matter how lost he gets. The father is always

568
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.360
referred to as a father, the entire story. So it's not that

569
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:59.680
it's not like at any point in time, God has stopped being your

570
00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:05.200
father. God has never disowned humanity. There wasn't a time

571
00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:07.760
where God disowned humanity said, right, that's it. I'm done

572
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:11.760
on being a father. Now, a lot of people perceive God like that.

573
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:15.440
And that's why you have so many Christians do what I think is

574
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.720
one of the worst things you could ever do is they they see

575
00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:22.480
their kids commit some type of sin and they go, right, you've

576
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.440
crossed the line. You are no longer part of this family. I

577
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.360
disown you as a father. The moment you see someone do that,

578
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:34.000
you've seen someone who completely has no idea of the

579
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.280
nature of God. They've completely lost touch with the

580
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:43.120
nature of God. Absolutely. What did the father do? He ran to

581
00:37:43.120 --> 00:37:48.080
the lost son. The son hadn't fixed anything up. The son

582
00:37:48.080 --> 00:37:51.280
still smelled like a pigsty the whole way through. He's

583
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.880
referred to as a son. The point of the story is to help you

584
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:58.960
understand that your identity is unconditional. You never get

585
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:03.040
unmade in the image of God. No, you know, there's not a point in

586
00:38:03.040 --> 00:38:06.320
your life and there's not a point in any person in all of

587
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:10.080
humanity that they get unmade in the image of God. What they

588
00:38:10.080 --> 00:38:13.280
don't what they do is they come out of agreement with the

589
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:16.240
present reality that they may have made an image of God. So

590
00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:19.440
yes, they're in a place of unbelief. What does unbelief

591
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.320
look like? It looks like the pigsty. That's what Jesus is

592
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.720
painting a picture. He's like, look, this is what unbelief

593
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:27.920
will look like for you. This is what, you know, like it'll look

594
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.880
like the pigsty. It'll look like dysfunction. It'll look like

595
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:34.880
chaos. But the present reality is that you're still as one as

596
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.680
one can be. You're still as son as son can be. You're still as

597
00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:40.960
innocent can be. You're still as loved as love can be. But when

598
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.120
you practice faith, you activate the power of present

599
00:38:45.120 --> 00:38:49.840
reality. And so that's the same thing. And we say, oh, OK, well,

600
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.640
it's you know, when I make a decision for Jesus, that's the

601
00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:56.560
point in time that I become a son. That's absolute rubbish.

602
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:01.440
One of the reasons why that mindset comes up is because

603
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.280
people don't understand the party at the end of the story.

604
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.480
The party where he kills the fattened calf and has a party

605
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:13.440
there is not a bar mitzvah, but it's basically as close to a

606
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:18.560
bar mitzvah as you could get. So a bar mitzvah is recognizing

607
00:39:18.560 --> 00:39:23.760
the present reality of a son's sonship. It's endorsing the

608
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.440
full rights, responsibilities and privileges of sonship. And

609
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:31.440
so what we have articulated and created is this concept of

610
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:37.360
adoption that is a Greek mindset of adoption as though that you

611
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:43.200
never were a son, as opposed to a Hebraic mindset towards a

612
00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:47.120
bar mitzvah, which is more accurate in terms of like,

613
00:39:47.120 --> 00:39:49.840
especially the story that Jesus is telling here is that there

614
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.720
comes a point where you have to come home. And when you come

615
00:39:52.720 --> 00:39:55.840
home, you don't become a son. You already this was already

616
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:59.040
your home. You were already a son. But when you come home,

617
00:39:59.040 --> 00:39:59.840
the father.

618
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:08.480
will celebrate you, he will honor you, there's a place for you at the table and he will recognize

619
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:18.040
and validate and endorse the full legal rights, privileges and responsibilities of a son.

620
00:40:18.040 --> 00:40:26.160
Because Benji, in the Bible it says, I have started to get this idea, I've always been

621
00:40:26.160 --> 00:40:32.720
taught that if you don't know God, you don't belong to God and all this kind of talk, whereas

622
00:40:32.720 --> 00:40:40.480
the Bible clearly says, all God is the God of all flesh.

623
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.320
People that have entered into faith, which means a connection through relationships so

624
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:48.800
they can experience the power of God that you're talking about, or they haven't, but

625
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:52.000
it does because they haven't and they don't know and they're not aware of it and they

626
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.520
don't want it, does not stop them from being his children.

627
00:40:57.520 --> 00:40:58.520
Exactly.

628
00:40:58.520 --> 00:40:59.520
Yeah.

629
00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:05.760
Your faith or your lack of faith doesn't change present reality.

630
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.760
Just our own experience of it.

631
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:08.760
Exactly.

632
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:15.440
It's like practicing the presence, you're probably unlikely, not impossible, but it's

633
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.520
probably going to be very unlikely for you to experience a life of seamless union and

634
00:41:20.520 --> 00:41:27.600
the ecstasy and the bliss of oneness if you refuse to agree that God exists.

635
00:41:27.600 --> 00:41:31.560
Or if you're a Christian and you refuse to agree that God is close to you, if you think

636
00:41:31.560 --> 00:41:40.800
that sin separates you, if you come up with these ideas that endorse separation and you

637
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:47.320
place agreement with ideas that endorse separation, then you're probably going to create the illusion

638
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:53.160
of separation and live from that, as opposed to practicing the presence and placing your

639
00:41:53.160 --> 00:41:57.920
agreement with the present reality that you're as one as one can be, you're as innocent can

640
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:03.000
be, you're as loved as love can be, and you're a son as a son can be, and enjoying that and

641
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.000
living from that.

642
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.440
It's like, even if you're not feeling anything, when you practice that and you put your agreement

643
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:11.440
there, it's like hanging out at the train track, sooner or later, you're going to get

644
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:14.320
hit by the glory of God.

645
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.120
So I just wanted to add a little bit on to that.

646
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:25.800
I haven't touched on that for a little while, but Eli, I just thought I'd jump on that for you.

647
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:27.280
Thank you.

648
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:28.280
Helps out so much.

649
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:29.280
Cool, man.

650
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.280
No worries.

651
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:31.280
Right.

652
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.720
Well, we've got two more to touch on here.

653
00:42:35.720 --> 00:42:39.200
Let me do a screen share again.

654
00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:45.640
Here we go.

655
00:42:45.640 --> 00:42:46.640
Screen share.

656
00:42:47.160 --> 00:42:48.160
Remember, guys, let's see.

657
00:42:48.160 --> 00:42:52.400
I want you to just let me know if you think they're achievable, not achievable.

658
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:53.400
Last two.

659
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:57.800
Eleven, make a genius financial move.

660
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.960
Sometimes people get confused by that one.

661
00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:00.960
Achievable.

662
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:06.840
So kind of the idea here is that we all live, we all have an economy, right?

663
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.400
There's an economy operating around our lives.

664
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.240
It costs to eat, it costs to live.

665
00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:14.480
Accommodation usually has a cost.

666
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:20.400
There's an economy revolving around our lives.

667
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.600
A lot of you will have heard the teaching on the five jars.

668
00:43:23.600 --> 00:43:29.080
We won't do that right now, but it could be saving something, it could be investing, it

669
00:43:29.080 --> 00:43:33.200
could be buying something that was a really good buy.

670
00:43:33.200 --> 00:43:34.760
It could be making some money.

671
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.680
I've never heard of the story of the jars.

672
00:43:37.680 --> 00:43:39.520
Never heard of the story of the jars.

673
00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:45.120
Pretty quickly, in like 20 seconds, it's a Jewish principle, the five jars, which is

674
00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:52.160
you tithe 10%, you put 10% into offerings, you put 10% into savings, you put 20% into

675
00:43:52.160 --> 00:43:54.360
investing and you live off 50%.

676
00:43:54.360 --> 00:44:00.480
Now if you don't invest 20% your whole life, it's probably going to get real difficult

677
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.640
to live off 50%.

678
00:44:01.640 --> 00:44:06.600
But if you invested 20% your whole life, living off 50% will be very, very easy.

679
00:44:07.600 --> 00:44:20.680
I've learned the Jewish idea of 10% tithing to the family, 10% tithing to the church.

680
00:44:20.680 --> 00:44:26.720
And I think it's a 40th, first fruits, and you live on the rest.

681
00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:29.920
But what you're teaching is different, slightly different.

682
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.320
Well, yeah, I mean, it's usually...

683
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:36.320
10% tithe, 10% what?

684
00:44:37.040 --> 00:44:43.440
The five jars principle taught by Jewish, hey Greg, is 10% into tithing, 10% into offering,

685
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:47.040
10% into saving, 20% into investing and living off 50%.

686
00:44:47.040 --> 00:44:51.760
Now, when we first heard that, it became quite clear that it's very difficult to live off

687
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.440
50% of nothing.

688
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:58.040
And it's very easy to live off 50% of a million dollars a month.

689
00:44:58.040 --> 00:44:59.320
Anyone agree with that?

690
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:00.320
Yep.

691
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.800
Is it easy to live off 50% of a million dollars a month?

692
00:45:04.720 --> 00:45:07.960
Anyone think it'd be difficult to live off 50% of nothing?

693
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:08.800
Absolutely.

694
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.280
Now that to me is very, very good.

695
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:12.440
You know why?

696
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:17.440
Because I've been challenged with this idea of giving away

697
00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:19.280
because the Bible says

698
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.040
you should love others more than yourself.

699
00:45:22.040 --> 00:45:23.420
So financially speaking,

700
00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:24.440
that means you should be giving

701
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.320
at least 50.1% of your income away.

702
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.440
Well, no, that's not what I've said at all.

703
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:34.240
No, I didn't say that's what you said.

704
00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:36.680
I've just been saying, how do I do that, God?

705
00:45:36.680 --> 00:45:39.520
If I'm supposed to financially love people more than myself,

706
00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:43.040
how would I possibly do that?

707
00:45:43.040 --> 00:45:44.320
But you see this here,

708
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.680
what you've shown me here in his plan,

709
00:45:46.680 --> 00:45:48.840
this is a Jewish teaching, is it?

710
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:50.000
Yeah.

711
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.160
I'd love it if you could send me some links

712
00:45:52.160 --> 00:45:53.920
to expand on that.

713
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:56.000
I'm not going to.

714
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:56.840
No?

715
00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:57.760
No, if you want,

716
00:45:57.760 --> 00:45:59.160
you might be able to find a couple of things

717
00:45:59.160 --> 00:46:00.000
on YouTube for it,

718
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.200
but I want to jump on.

719
00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:03.200
That's okay, I'll look at it myself.

720
00:46:03.200 --> 00:46:04.720
Yeah, I've taught heaps on it

721
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.960
and all of our other economic stuff and things like that.

722
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:12.000
But the point is that with investing,

723
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.120
this is just one thing that I kind of want to really

724
00:46:15.120 --> 00:46:17.000
integrate into church mindsets,

725
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.800
is that if churches don't teach investing

726
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.360
twice as much as they teach tithing,

727
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.880
they'll never break free from poverty.

728
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:27.480
No.

729
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.720
So that's why we've been, you know,

730
00:46:30.720 --> 00:46:33.680
really like emphasizing,

731
00:46:33.680 --> 00:46:36.680
you could even say overemphasizing Ecclesiastes 11.2,

732
00:46:36.680 --> 00:46:38.760
invest in seven ventures, yes, and eight,

733
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:40.080
because you do not know what disaster

734
00:46:40.080 --> 00:46:41.240
may come upon the land.

735
00:46:42.520 --> 00:46:45.760
We're doing that for the point of helping bring balance

736
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:50.240
back to a mindset that has not been balanced

737
00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:54.040
because churches have building programs

738
00:46:54.040 --> 00:46:57.760
and it's better to save up the bandwidth

739
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:02.560
of the pulpit time to preach into a big offering

740
00:47:02.560 --> 00:47:05.680
than it is to preach into people investing

741
00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:08.640
into their own lives.

742
00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:10.200
But it's real short-term thinking

743
00:47:10.200 --> 00:47:15.200
because if churches taught investing long-term,

744
00:47:15.240 --> 00:47:16.400
there'd be so much abundance

745
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:17.520
that they probably wouldn't even need

746
00:47:17.520 --> 00:47:19.120
to do the offering check

747
00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:19.960
because people will be like,

748
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.520
oh man, let me just buy the buildings, no big deal.

749
00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:25.640
Yep, good, thank you for that.

750
00:47:25.640 --> 00:47:27.160
Sweet, all right.

751
00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:31.920
Right, we've got one more thing to do on here.

752
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.360
Let me go for the screen share again.

753
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:40.440
The last one on the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge

754
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:46.400
of the 12 things is post an accountability photo.

755
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:49.720
And the whole idea of that

756
00:47:50.120 --> 00:47:54.600
is that it makes it a real community event.

757
00:47:54.600 --> 00:47:56.680
You know, like we actually share the journey together

758
00:47:56.680 --> 00:47:59.840
and we get to check out each other's stories and journeys.

759
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:03.720
So I'll show you guys where we do that in a second,

760
00:48:03.720 --> 00:48:04.920
but what do you guys reckon,

761
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:06.640
achievable or not achievable?

762
00:48:06.640 --> 00:48:07.480
Achievable.

763
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:08.320
Yes.

764
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:09.880
Achievable.

765
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:11.440
Achievable, sweet.

766
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:14.000
So this is the structure

767
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.200
of the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.

768
00:48:17.600 --> 00:48:21.120
It is slightly, it varies slightly

769
00:48:21.120 --> 00:48:24.440
between level one, level two, and level three,

770
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:27.880
but it basically maintains that structure.

771
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.880
Praying in the spirit, reading your Bible,

772
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.160
recording a favorite verse,

773
00:48:32.160 --> 00:48:34.640
gratitudes, daily declarations,

774
00:48:34.640 --> 00:48:36.920
moving our body, eating something awesome,

775
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:38.560
drinking three liters of water,

776
00:48:38.560 --> 00:48:39.680
intentionally loving on someone,

777
00:48:39.680 --> 00:48:40.960
practicing your trigger,

778
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:42.560
making a genius financial move,

779
00:48:42.560 --> 00:48:44.360
and posting an accountability photo.

780
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.320
And I'll show you where we do that,

781
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.520
but a little bit like what Eli was talking about before,

782
00:48:51.520 --> 00:48:54.040
he's like, man, normally I would be getting depressed

783
00:48:54.040 --> 00:48:55.720
right now, but all of a sudden,

784
00:48:55.720 --> 00:48:57.920
I'm feeling exactly the opposite.

785
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.840
And what is happening,

786
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:03.520
there's so much science going on

787
00:49:03.520 --> 00:49:06.520
to those 12 simple actions,

788
00:49:06.520 --> 00:49:08.760
but even the concept of moving your body,

789
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.760
I've got, you know, a friend who's a really,

790
00:49:14.080 --> 00:49:15.760
you know, really well-regarded,

791
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:19.280
you know, what's the,

792
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:22.880
they're a therapist, counselor person,

793
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.960
but oftentimes, well, they'll say to a person is,

794
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:28.280
hey, you're like, you know what,

795
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:30.800
your prescription is, I'm not giving you a drug,

796
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.160
you just need to go out for a walk,

797
00:49:33.160 --> 00:49:35.520
because if you get out and go for a walk,

798
00:49:35.520 --> 00:49:38.640
you're gonna shift all the chemicals around in your body.

799
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:41.440
Barbara, good to have you with us,

800
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.200
Chris, Elisa,

801
00:49:45.600 --> 00:49:47.360
oh, Isla, sorry, Isla,

802
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.040
good to have you guys jumping on.

803
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:51.880
Thanks, Benji.

804
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:54.120
What was that, is it Alison?

805
00:49:54.120 --> 00:49:55.760
No.

806
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:56.880
Isla.

807
00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:57.720
No.

808
00:49:57.720 --> 00:49:58.560
Isla.

809
00:49:59.600 --> 00:50:00.440
It's.

810
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.000
Sorry, my bad. My bad on my reading. Ailsa, very nice to be with us Ailsa.

811
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:07.000
Thank you.

812
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:22.000
Sweet. So the beauty is like on the balance of this thing is that everything starts building momentum.

813
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:26.000
So someone who's done this, maybe Angela, you've been doing this for a while.

814
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:41.000
How do you think that after a while of being in the rhythm of this, that each thing starts adding momentum to each year of your life?

815
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:45.000
Gosh, how do I actually explain it?

816
00:50:45.000 --> 00:51:00.000
In level one, I was astounded at the effect of just practicing the presence and how that just infused every area of my life in terms of the joy, the joy of the Lord, it just grew.

817
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:11.000
And then with all the other practicing all of the different steps, because they cover holistically the entire your whole life, basically, it just changed your whole mindset.

818
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:17.000
And it's changed my mindset. I'm not sure how long we've been doing it for now, but there's no way I'd let it go.

819
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:34.000
It's no way I would stop because it's just so I don't want to lose what I've gained. And for me, because I have a serious chronic illness that really limits me with so many different facets of some of the 12 tasks.

820
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:41.000
And for a while there, particularly in level one, I avoided one of them exercise because it actually can make me sick.

821
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:56.000
And so I didn't do the exercise bit. But as time went on and we went to level two and level three, I thought, well, give it a go, see what I can do and overcame the fear and it's an understandable fear for my situation.

822
00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:10.000
But now I'm actually doing so much more in every area of my life because I overcame that fear by practicing those steps every day and they are so simple, but they're so profound.

823
00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:26.000
And then it goes on into areas that aren't actually listed in the tasks like work. It's transformed my attitude to work and that I want to give it my best and I'm actually more organized.

824
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:44.000
And that for me is a miracle. I normally wing things. So it's just organized me in every single area of my life and it's hard to articulate the profound effect it's had on me and the way I approach life now.

825
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:55.000
And even to the extent that for this last weekend, I had somebody staying with me and that's just not, it's a no-no for me with my health issues. I just thought, no, I'm not missing out anymore.

826
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:08.000
I'm going to take that step, which was a hard thing for me. And I thought it was great. I mean, I'm paying the price for it a little bit at the moment and I knew that would be the case physically, but it's just so worth the investment.

827
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:17.000
So yeah, it's just incredible. I'm waxing lyrical here, but I'm running out of words to describe how wonderful it's been.

828
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:18.000
Awesome.

829
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:19.000
I hope that's what you wanted.

830
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:22.000
Yeah, no, I appreciate it.

831
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:35.000
Angela, I had this line go through my mind this morning when I was at the gym early, which is refining rhythm redefines reality.

832
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:46.000
Not that often that you get to do much alliteration with an R, but today we do. Refining rhythm redefines reality.

833
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:57.000
I think that's actually what discipleship is about, is about helping people redesign reality.

834
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:10.000
But I think one of the places that we've gotten really stuck in the church is teaching people, but not getting anyone to do anything that's actually implementing.

835
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:24.000
So there's a teaching mindset. So we know all about what to do, but there's so often there's a missing step of actually shifting from teaching to training where it's like, okay, guys, you know, where gym looks more like church looks more like a gym.

836
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:33.000
We're actually like, okay, let's get it. You know, like let's actually implement as opposed to everyone coming back in and each six months we're going to do the same things because no one's implementing it.

837
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:48.000
We're going to go and reteach that because no one's actually implemented it. So every year we do the same, like all the same kind of rhythms in church because it's like, yeah, we really need to get this. But yeah. So open mic now, questions, anyone got questions?

838
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:52.000
Yes, I do have a question, Benji. Yeah, yeah.

839
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:56.000
So I just want to share a little bit of my journey on the 21 days.

840
00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:00.000
So when I first began this, like I said, I was very perfectionistic about it.

841
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.760
about it, okay?

842
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.840
And so I'm finding out it's been a journey

843
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.520
with the Lord during this 21 days journey.

844
00:55:08.520 --> 00:55:11.840
Like the first time I did it was,

845
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:13.280
I was very militant with it,

846
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.360
trying to get it as a checklist, you know?

847
00:55:16.380 --> 00:55:18.960
And then like the Lord just totally swept me off my feet

848
00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:20.560
and I would be like super relaxed.

849
00:55:20.560 --> 00:55:21.800
He was just trying to teach me like,

850
00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.580
okay, you don't be so militant,

851
00:55:24.580 --> 00:55:27.340
be more graceful with it, you know?

852
00:55:27.340 --> 00:55:30.000
And then I guess like, I kind of felt like

853
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.460
I was learning the balance of the extremes of doing this,

854
00:55:32.460 --> 00:55:33.640
you know?

855
00:55:33.640 --> 00:55:37.620
And I guess like, as I progressed, I learned,

856
00:55:37.620 --> 00:55:39.580
like, you know, sometimes it's hard to be part of the,

857
00:55:39.580 --> 00:55:42.740
kind of like in terms of like the postings and the videos

858
00:55:42.740 --> 00:55:44.100
and being in charge of the chat,

859
00:55:44.100 --> 00:55:45.260
because I've been busy with,

860
00:55:45.260 --> 00:55:46.900
we just started ministry school too,

861
00:55:46.900 --> 00:55:48.940
so it's been like so much going on,

862
00:55:48.940 --> 00:55:49.980
but I'm trying to do,

863
00:55:49.980 --> 00:55:52.740
still trying to keep up with this every single day.

864
00:55:52.740 --> 00:55:55.100
But I guess like now that we got to level two,

865
00:55:55.100 --> 00:55:59.140
I wanted to ask you on some of the things

866
00:55:59.140 --> 00:56:03.060
that I felt like as I walk in this,

867
00:56:03.060 --> 00:56:04.700
I felt like the Lord was leading me

868
00:56:04.700 --> 00:56:07.500
and I just want to confirm with you

869
00:56:07.500 --> 00:56:09.740
some of the things that I've been going through.

870
00:56:09.740 --> 00:56:12.500
So as I progressed in these level two,

871
00:56:12.500 --> 00:56:14.180
like towards the level two,

872
00:56:14.180 --> 00:56:19.140
I kind of like not followed the formatting of this 21 days,

873
00:56:19.140 --> 00:56:20.660
not because I didn't want to,

874
00:56:20.700 --> 00:56:25.700
but I felt like I'm learning how to establish my own rhythm

875
00:56:26.980 --> 00:56:29.140
and learning how to walk with the Holy Spirit in this.

876
00:56:29.140 --> 00:56:32.180
So like, instead of reading the chapters, you know,

877
00:56:32.180 --> 00:56:33.700
of like Proverbs,

878
00:56:33.700 --> 00:56:35.580
I felt like the Lord was telling me to do,

879
00:56:35.580 --> 00:56:37.740
like read my own readings of the word,

880
00:56:37.740 --> 00:56:41.060
like that he was trying to help me to focus on, you know?

881
00:56:41.060 --> 00:56:45.540
And so I wouldn't go with like a chapter

882
00:56:45.540 --> 00:56:46.860
or a specific type reading,

883
00:56:46.860 --> 00:56:48.180
I would go with where the Lord

884
00:56:48.180 --> 00:56:50.340
was trying to help me to establish.

885
00:56:51.020 --> 00:56:51.860
So instead of like reading a chapter,

886
00:56:51.860 --> 00:56:54.020
I would be like, I'm reading,

887
00:56:54.020 --> 00:56:57.100
I'm going through the word that he's wanting me to read,

888
00:56:57.100 --> 00:56:57.940
you know?

889
00:56:57.940 --> 00:57:01.500
And then, and then instead of like, you know,

890
00:57:01.500 --> 00:57:02.660
like my own workouts,

891
00:57:02.660 --> 00:57:03.500
I would start doing like,

892
00:57:03.500 --> 00:57:05.300
instead of like a, you know, moving your five tendons,

893
00:57:05.300 --> 00:57:07.100
I'm doing my own workouts.

894
00:57:07.100 --> 00:57:09.260
And I guess like, I'm kind of going,

895
00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:13.380
I'm having my own rhythm of the 21 days,

896
00:57:13.380 --> 00:57:15.580
you know, 12 daily habits.

897
00:57:15.580 --> 00:57:17.780
I don't always go with the full 12,

898
00:57:17.860 --> 00:57:20.100
but I'm like really taking stuff

899
00:57:20.100 --> 00:57:23.180
that will really work out with me throughout the 24 hours.

900
00:57:23.180 --> 00:57:25.460
And I guess like, one,

901
00:57:25.460 --> 00:57:27.300
I guess I'll kind of want to run through that with you.

902
00:57:27.300 --> 00:57:30.180
Like, how, how is that in terms of,

903
00:57:31.300 --> 00:57:34.540
I guess like, am I having the right mindset of that?

904
00:57:34.540 --> 00:57:39.540
And two, just two also, like, how do you stay,

905
00:57:39.540 --> 00:57:42.620
what are some suggestions that if this is what I feel like

906
00:57:42.620 --> 00:57:44.900
the Lord's leading me, how do you help?

907
00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:48.460
How do I, I guess, learn how to keep yourself accountable

908
00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:51.460
with your own, like, kind of like routine and rhythm,

909
00:57:51.460 --> 00:57:54.100
but still learning how to make sure that you're,

910
00:57:54.100 --> 00:57:56.460
you're establishing the same concept

911
00:57:56.460 --> 00:57:58.420
or results of what we're doing here.

912
00:57:58.420 --> 00:57:59.780
Does that kind of make sense?

913
00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:02.020
Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying.

914
00:58:02.020 --> 00:58:03.500
Yeah.

915
00:58:03.500 --> 00:58:05.300
Let me answer like with a story.

916
00:58:05.300 --> 00:58:06.140
So,

917
00:58:08.100 --> 00:58:13.100
what, it's really good to build a habit of discipline.

918
00:58:13.140 --> 00:58:14.700
So for me, for example,

919
00:58:15.500 --> 00:58:17.420
I had this practice of discipline

920
00:58:17.420 --> 00:58:19.340
where I would read at least five chapters

921
00:58:19.340 --> 00:58:20.620
of the Bible every day.

922
00:58:20.620 --> 00:58:23.260
And I did that for years and years and years.

923
00:58:23.260 --> 00:58:24.980
So it was at least five chapters,

924
00:58:24.980 --> 00:58:27.220
often more, most days more.

925
00:58:28.380 --> 00:58:30.860
And that was, that was my set in stone minimum.

926
00:58:30.860 --> 00:58:32.140
Now that was great because it meant

927
00:58:32.140 --> 00:58:35.060
that I read the Bible multiple times over.

928
00:58:35.060 --> 00:58:37.980
I developed that habit of discipline.

929
00:58:37.980 --> 00:58:39.020
It was really good.

930
00:58:41.260 --> 00:58:43.060
Then I just came into this space, right?

931
00:58:43.060 --> 00:58:45.300
Where, you know, in 2009,

932
00:58:45.300 --> 00:58:48.180
the glory of God just started falling on me

933
00:58:48.180 --> 00:58:50.860
like crazy in my prayer times.

934
00:58:50.860 --> 00:58:53.100
And the presence of God would be on me so strong.

935
00:58:53.100 --> 00:58:54.980
I'd never experienced anything like it.

936
00:58:54.980 --> 00:58:57.700
But then I'd be in this middle of my time with the Lord,

937
00:58:57.700 --> 00:59:00.540
just absolutely undone, often in a beanbag.

938
00:59:00.540 --> 00:59:02.220
And then I'd roll out of the beanbag,

939
00:59:02.220 --> 00:59:04.340
like the presence of God on me so strong,

940
00:59:04.340 --> 00:59:06.780
crawl across the floor to my Bible

941
00:59:06.780 --> 00:59:09.620
and like try really hard to focus on reading the Bible,

942
00:59:09.620 --> 00:59:10.940
which was quite difficult

943
00:59:10.940 --> 00:59:13.660
because the glory was pretty overwhelming

944
00:59:13.660 --> 00:59:15.340
and I wasn't super cognitive,

945
00:59:15.340 --> 00:59:18.460
but I, you know, like I was trying real hard.

946
00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:20.540
And interesting, what I noticed in that time

947
00:59:20.540 --> 00:59:24.260
is that I was trying to fight off what God was doing

948
00:59:24.260 --> 00:59:28.140
in order to tick my religious boxes.

949
00:59:28.140 --> 00:59:29.260
Yep.

950
00:59:29.260 --> 00:59:32.220
So there's that on one side,

951
00:59:32.220 --> 00:59:33.340
and then there's another thing

952
00:59:33.340 --> 00:59:36.300
which Joseph Wilson calls your baseline for success.

953
00:59:37.300 --> 00:59:40.740
So there's, here's the balance, right,

954
00:59:41.580 --> 00:59:43.220
of it.

955
00:59:43.220 --> 00:59:44.980
And this is why it's called the hard things.

956
00:59:44.980 --> 00:59:46.620
It's called the hard things challenge,

957
00:59:46.620 --> 00:59:49.820
not because each of those elements are actually difficult,

958
00:59:50.700 --> 00:59:51.780
because very few of those

959
00:59:51.780 --> 00:59:54.460
are actually difficult on their own.

960
00:59:54.460 --> 00:59:55.900
Now, most of them are actually

961
00:59:55.900 --> 00:59:58.020
really easily achievable on their own.

962
00:59:58.020 --> 01:00:00.100
The reason it's called the hard things.

963
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:08.560
challenge is because it's the consistency of ticking off each of the 12 things that

964
01:00:08.560 --> 01:00:13.800
actually that's where the hard that's where the challenges is in the daily consistency

965
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:18.640
of ticking all 12 and that's where the so that's where the hard thing the hard thing

966
01:00:18.640 --> 01:00:24.360
is isn't maintaining a consistency but that the flip side of it is that that's also where

967
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:31.600
the gains are right that's where the that's where the real big gains are in your personal

968
01:00:31.600 --> 01:00:41.160
life is in the consistency of doing those 12 hard things each day so what I'm suggesting

969
01:00:41.160 --> 01:00:48.000
to you is that the 21 day hard things challenge is giving you a framework for a baseline of

970
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:55.920
success like if you if you want to thrive in life in my perspective what I've brought

971
01:00:55.920 --> 01:01:03.080
together there in the 12 you know in the 12 daily practices are non-negotiables now those

972
01:01:03.080 --> 01:01:08.200
are those to me are if anyone so if anyone was like Benji I want you to help me become

973
01:01:08.200 --> 01:01:13.600
a giant slayer I want you to help me to step into my destiny I'll be like start here and

974
01:01:14.240 --> 01:01:18.640
they'll be like oh is any of these like I just don't want to do two of them I'll be like see

975
01:01:18.640 --> 01:01:25.120
you later don't bother off you go because to me those are non-negotiables and it's because

976
01:01:25.120 --> 01:01:37.520
of the synergy that they all pack in together so in terms of like the reason I would say

977
01:01:37.520 --> 01:01:42.960
you know for now like with the say you're doing level two right and level two is read

978
01:01:43.040 --> 01:01:48.960
Esther and Nehemiah I would I would like if God's saying hey I want you to read these as well

979
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:54.240
I'll do both like during the challenge I'll be like hey if God's got you some extra reading

980
01:01:54.240 --> 01:02:00.720
sweet but do both two chapters is not a like a like excruciating demand it's going to maybe

981
01:02:00.720 --> 01:02:07.680
take you 15 minutes maybe 20 if you really want to go real real slow some people last only like

982
01:02:07.680 --> 01:02:13.760
less than 10 minutes so to me that's not like a deal breaker if God's got you say hey I want you

983
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:19.920
to read these I would do both end especially during the during the challenge right you get

984
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:26.000
to the end like you go through level three you kind of get and remember all right level one is

985
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:32.720
21 days level two is 21 days level three is 21 days and those are really significant time

986
01:02:32.720 --> 01:02:41.360
allocations because each 21 day you know builds a neuro pathway in your brain after 63 days

987
01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:46.400
it really establishes and entrenches the new neurological pathway in your mind so

988
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:54.000
the timing is significant like every element of the 21 day hard things challenge has a lot of

989
01:02:55.120 --> 01:03:00.800
depth to it a lot of psychology a lot of spirituality like a lot of neurology like

990
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:07.040
there's so much to each element that when you bring it together it really starts lighting up

991
01:03:07.040 --> 01:03:12.080
so my thought would be while you're doing the challenge make it a baseline for success

992
01:03:12.080 --> 01:03:18.240
if you want to like do extra bible reading I'll do the extra bible reading not like cut these two

993
01:03:18.240 --> 01:03:26.160
chapters out or um if you but then when you know things like your exercise do whatever things like

994
01:03:26.240 --> 01:03:31.600
declarations would I cut declarations out one day no way you know I wouldn't there isn't one

995
01:03:31.600 --> 01:03:37.280
thing there that in my daily rhythm I would be like oh yeah I can let this slide to me all of

996
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:43.440
them are non-negotiables on a daily basis it might be the occasional day that's very very rare that I

997
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:48.960
might miss one of those mainly because I don't know maybe I was going to like do my declarations

998
01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:54.640
and then I fell asleep and I was like oh flip I was going to do my declarations as I went to bed

999
01:03:55.440 --> 01:04:01.120
but it's very rare that one of those things gets left off but the benefit is that

1000
01:04:02.240 --> 01:04:07.360
what it creates in your life is this synergy we've actually did a teaching on it's the science

1001
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:13.600
of transformation it sets you up for expedited growth it maximizes the favor it creates supernatural

1002
01:04:13.600 --> 01:04:20.080
breakthrough again it's refining rhythm redefines reality so what I'm finding with it is that

1003
01:04:21.040 --> 01:04:24.800
my dreams that my wildest dreams are coming to life like I couldn't imagine

1004
01:04:25.520 --> 01:04:32.400
reality is like being redefined all around me the breakthrough that I'm living and now I couldn't

1005
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:38.000
have imagined and so is it worth it you know doing the hard things I'll be like oh my gosh

1006
01:04:38.560 --> 01:04:43.440
for me I would never trade these these things have like become a sacred rhythm that's a

1007
01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:49.520
non-negotiable in my life not out of obligation but out of ownership and out of tasting and seeing

1008
01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:53.600
that they're good and tasting and seeing the power of them and tasting and seeing

1009
01:04:53.600 --> 01:04:59.760
what happens when you consistently implement them it has been the greatest

1010
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.720
fast track to breakthrough that I've ever seen.

1011
01:05:03.720 --> 01:05:07.080
So I hope that kind of helps with the question.

1012
01:05:07.080 --> 01:05:09.640
So Benji, do you do them in order?

1013
01:05:09.640 --> 01:05:10.480
No.

1014
01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:11.640
No.

1015
01:05:11.640 --> 01:05:15.440
I would have to agree that even my insight

1016
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.120
into people that have been into mental institutions

1017
01:05:18.120 --> 01:05:19.880
or you go into the hospital,

1018
01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:23.560
they make things very, very consistent.

1019
01:05:23.560 --> 01:05:26.400
We do this now, we do that now, nothing changes.

1020
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:29.800
It's just consistent and it stays that way

1021
01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:33.760
and it gives those people a baseline,

1022
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:36.200
like you say, of security.

1023
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:41.640
So I want to, if you don't mind jumping in.

1024
01:05:41.640 --> 01:05:43.000
Yeah, go for it, bro.

1025
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.320
Because I'm like, okay, so I'm learning.

1026
01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:47.800
This is like all new to me.

1027
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.080
The Lord's teaching me discipline to this.

1028
01:05:50.080 --> 01:05:52.520
He's teaching me who I am through this.

1029
01:05:53.720 --> 01:05:55.920
Because like I said, when I first began,

1030
01:05:55.920 --> 01:05:57.760
I was very militant with it,

1031
01:05:57.760 --> 01:05:59.640
where I was like, I have to do this right,

1032
01:05:59.640 --> 01:06:01.200
this right, this right.

1033
01:06:01.200 --> 01:06:04.200
And then I realized it got me very drained,

1034
01:06:04.200 --> 01:06:06.440
because like, for example, if I read,

1035
01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:08.040
even though it's one to two chapters,

1036
01:06:08.040 --> 01:06:10.480
like I would read, like I would go very, very slow,

1037
01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:13.600
but there's nothing wrong with going slow,

1038
01:06:13.600 --> 01:06:14.440
but it would be like,

1039
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:17.120
I would take a long time going through that chapter

1040
01:06:17.120 --> 01:06:20.120
because I guess I wanted to read it right.

1041
01:06:21.160 --> 01:06:23.040
And so I'm learning this whole balance

1042
01:06:23.040 --> 01:06:25.840
and then all of a sudden, one week I would get like,

1043
01:06:26.720 --> 01:06:28.320
and I'm doing, like I said,

1044
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:32.120
we just started a school for missions for evangelism.

1045
01:06:32.120 --> 01:06:34.720
So I've been helping out a lot with that too,

1046
01:06:34.720 --> 01:06:36.080
trying to get all that tasks done

1047
01:06:36.080 --> 01:06:38.440
and trying to get my own rhythm within it.

1048
01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:40.240
And sometimes during that,

1049
01:06:40.240 --> 01:06:42.840
I was very kind of like militant at first,

1050
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:46.120
and then the Lord kind of like swept me off my feet.

1051
01:06:46.120 --> 01:06:47.960
And because he was trying to tell me like,

1052
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:49.560
nah, I don't want you to be too militant.

1053
01:06:49.560 --> 01:06:53.400
I want you to kind of like see it as a grace factor,

1054
01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:56.400
where you do your best with it,

1055
01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:58.760
do the best you can, but be very intentional.

1056
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:03.120
And so along that process, I felt like I'm like,

1057
01:07:03.120 --> 01:07:05.360
we call it like you're practicing the extreme

1058
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:08.160
of not making it too like obligation,

1059
01:07:08.160 --> 01:07:10.600
but also not being too loose and relaxed with it.

1060
01:07:10.600 --> 01:07:15.040
I'm kind of learning how to balance that part, that portion.

1061
01:07:15.040 --> 01:07:20.040
And I guess one I share is on this journey,

1062
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:22.520
I've learned to establish my own rhythm

1063
01:07:22.520 --> 01:07:23.800
in a sense of like,

1064
01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:25.800
I know what time I want to do certain things.

1065
01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:29.920
I need more time, like I need to get my own work done,

1066
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:33.400
how to take care of my own things in life, you know?

1067
01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:36.160
But I also,

1068
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:43.120
I guess one thing I ask is like, even on those days,

1069
01:07:43.120 --> 01:07:47.760
like for example, my experience is when I read a chapter two

1070
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:49.360
and I don't get really into it,

1071
01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:52.240
or I feel like I didn't glean from it,

1072
01:07:52.920 --> 01:07:57.920
I kind of get very obsessed about it, you know?

1073
01:07:58.560 --> 01:08:00.840
And that's kind of where I get my mind spinning.

1074
01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:02.600
And then I feel like, oh, now I'm on my,

1075
01:08:02.600 --> 01:08:04.440
and I use more time on that.

1076
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:06.360
I guess like, just cause like I said,

1077
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:07.200
this is a new journey.

1078
01:08:07.200 --> 01:08:10.120
I'm relearning, reframing, re-understanding,

1079
01:08:10.120 --> 01:08:11.560
and I'm learning, and I'm being learning

1080
01:08:11.560 --> 01:08:14.240
how to not be so hard on myself during this whole process.

1081
01:08:14.240 --> 01:08:16.359
I just want to run that through with you.

1082
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:18.760
Cause there's days when you don't feel like you're reading,

1083
01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:20.160
you don't feel like you're gleaning

1084
01:08:20.160 --> 01:08:21.319
from all of these things.

1085
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:22.960
You just feel like you're doing it.

1086
01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:24.960
Not like you, not like an obligation,

1087
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:26.520
but like, it's just like, I'm just doing it

1088
01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:30.000
because I know my heart, you know,

1089
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:31.399
I want to do what's right.

1090
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:32.840
But sometimes when you're doing that,

1091
01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:35.760
you feel like, oh, I'm not doing that best.

1092
01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:36.600
You know what I mean?

1093
01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:37.439
Like-

1094
01:08:37.439 --> 01:08:38.279
That's right.

1095
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:39.120
Let me chuck a couple of thoughts on that.

1096
01:08:39.120 --> 01:08:41.560
One of the things that we've been really strong

1097
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:45.120
on consistently through the whole journey with everyone is,

1098
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:49.399
it's about transformation, not perfection.

1099
01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:50.240
Yes.

1100
01:08:50.240 --> 01:08:51.760
And that's a real key theme for us,

1101
01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:55.439
is this is a journey of transformation, not perfection.

1102
01:08:55.439 --> 01:08:59.000
So if you focus on perfection,

1103
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:02.240
you always, you know, if you're like,

1104
01:09:02.240 --> 01:09:04.880
oh man, I didn't do perfect, right?

1105
01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:07.080
Perfectionism always leads to comparison

1106
01:09:07.080 --> 01:09:09.520
and comparison is the thief of joy.

1107
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:11.680
Whereas when you focus on transformation,

1108
01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:14.279
it leads to celebration, which multiplies your joy.

1109
01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:20.279
So the focus is transformation, not perfection.

1110
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.200
You know, you're not, we're not anticipating that,

1111
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:28.479
that we're necessarily going to get them all

1112
01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:30.319
every single day.

1113
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:31.960
And if you fail on one, it doesn't really,

1114
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:32.800
it's not a big deal.

1115
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:36.000
You know, like that's not the, that's not the goal.

1116
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:37.439
The goal is transformation.

1117
01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:39.359
So on that sense, I'll be like, yeah,

1118
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:40.560
but I hear what you're saying as well.

1119
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:43.399
There's this dynamic where you could go real easy

1120
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:46.520
on yourself and be like, oh, I'll take it easy.

1121
01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:47.560
It's not that big a deal.

1122
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:49.080
I just missed a couple.

1123
01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:54.320
And then you can be like, you know, like fully militant

1124
01:09:54.320 --> 01:09:55.680
and you've got that other, you know,

1125
01:09:55.680 --> 01:09:57.440
you could slide into obligation as well,

1126
01:09:57.440 --> 01:09:59.560
where you're just doing this out of some.

1127
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.640
disobligation which is probably not going to produce anything except resentment you know so

1128
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:09.440
there's lots of different ways you can actually end up doing this but my hope is that you would

1129
01:10:09.440 --> 01:10:14.640
start you know like your journey starts out of ownership of like hey i want to redesign reality

1130
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:19.840
and i want to start bringing my wildest dreams to life like this should be the goal is that by

1131
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:25.760
implementing this you know like taking this journey i'm i'm going on a journey that's going

1132
01:10:25.760 --> 01:10:32.880
to enable me to actually completely redesign reality and bring my wildest dreams to life

1133
01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:41.280
that's really the hope can i add something can i add something there uh so eli i can um

1134
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:45.600
uh what's the word i can

1135
01:10:48.240 --> 01:10:53.280
empathize empathize with you because probably for about 20 years i really struggled with

1136
01:10:53.280 --> 01:10:59.360
religion and performance orientation so i think i know a bit about that monkey that's

1137
01:10:59.360 --> 01:11:06.480
on on the back um and it's not pleasant is it but you know someone who's come through it

1138
01:11:08.240 --> 01:11:14.640
in a significant way if i can would you like me to give you a couple of thoughts and reflections

1139
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:22.560
uh i love to um no matter what you can always you can always learn so i guess

1140
01:11:23.440 --> 01:11:28.320
so i would say you know do as benji said by doing this stuff

1141
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:36.960
you will actually go through the transformation process with god and you will deal with a lot

1142
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:42.560
of that stuff the second thing is a lot of the identity stuff and sonship so what set me free was

1143
01:11:43.280 --> 01:11:50.480
um having breakthrough in sonship and identity and benji's got a whole heap of stuff on

1144
01:11:51.440 --> 01:11:56.880
identity and sonship and then the third element someone's someone's uh there's a bit of noise

1145
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:06.000
in the background i don't know whose it is but um the third thing i would say is you know the

1146
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:11.120
inner healing journey so i'm not sure what what your inner healing journey's been so far but

1147
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:18.000
um you know getting healed of the unhealed hurts unmet needs unresolved issues

1148
01:12:18.720 --> 01:12:26.480
was just so critical to me like the healed heart plus doing all this stuff they both come together

1149
01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:32.400
so i just encourage you to to do do some inner healing work if you haven't already and i've

1150
01:12:32.400 --> 01:12:38.560
seen it because i do some of this stuff with people people who've been in bondage for 20 or

1151
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:46.640
30 years when god comes and sets them free it's like bang what what prevented me from being able

1152
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:52.720
to experience god is taken away when that inner healing work's done so i just offer that out

1153
01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:58.640
as a reflection it's not one thing it's going to be a multi-dimensional journey for all of us

1154
01:13:00.480 --> 01:13:05.840
and your role is just to say yes our role is just to say yes to god expose our heart

1155
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:14.880
do the stuff and give him stuff to work with yeah cool stuff man um one thing i'll one thing i'll

1156
01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:19.600
add in there which is something we've talked about a bunch of times throughout the the journey on

1157
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:27.840
the hard things is that um if you take care of the soil the seed will take care of itself yeah

1158
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:34.560
so if you look at the parable of the sower you know you've got some seed goes on the path and

1159
01:13:34.560 --> 01:13:41.600
the birds come and eat it up some seed goes on the rocky ground springs up real quick but then

1160
01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:48.880
withers when the sun comes out some um some falls on seed where on ground where there's lots of

1161
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:56.880
other weeds that grow up and and block it out and some seed falls on good soil and produces 30 60

1162
01:13:56.880 --> 01:14:05.360
hundred fold return uh one thing that we should notice from that is that the seed is always good

1163
01:14:05.360 --> 01:14:12.240
there was never an issue there was never a seed issue and that's the issue that seed represents

1164
01:14:12.240 --> 01:14:22.960
the divine life which is uh you know john 8 12 jesus said uh i am the light of the world whoever

1165
01:14:22.960 --> 01:14:29.600
follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life that light of life that's

1166
01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:36.560
the divine life he's talking about the exact same state of being as god that seems like a worthy

1167
01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:44.560
prize anyone think that's a worthy prize to have the divine life incarnated in you the fullness

1168
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:51.040
of the life of the trinity fully fleshed out and manifest in you it's like look at that again i am

1169
01:14:51.040 --> 01:14:57.280
the light of the world whoever follows me will never walk in darkness now that's a great line

1170
01:14:57.280 --> 01:15:00.000
right there that blows a lot of christian

1171
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.560
rubbish teaching right out of the water. You'll never walk in darkness. You have no association

1172
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:10.480
with sin whatsoever. You'll be oppressed in no way. You'll be depressed in no way. You won't

1173
01:15:10.480 --> 01:15:16.640
have any spiritual, you know, you won't have any turmoil of struggling with sin. You will never

1174
01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:20.560
walk in darkness. That's a great promise there. Like who thinks that's worthy of actually going

1175
01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:26.320
after? I think that's the type of thing that is like, that's a lifetime achievement of like,

1176
01:15:26.320 --> 01:15:31.760
oh cool, man, I learned to walk in this place that Jesus promised where I never walk in darkness

1177
01:15:31.760 --> 01:15:37.520
and I have the light of life, which means the fullness of the divine light is incarnate.

1178
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:45.440
It's manifest fully. It's fully on display in me. And even that Greek word have, right? That

1179
01:15:45.440 --> 01:15:50.240
Greek word have, you think, oh yeah, have is not a very important word, but it's the word echo.

1180
01:15:50.240 --> 01:15:57.120
They will have, or they will echo, right? So the word echo, I mean, we can probably guess what that

1181
01:15:57.120 --> 01:16:03.840
means, but one of the meanings is it's like to be clothed like a garment. You know, you will wear

1182
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:10.080
the divine life like a garment. You will be an echo from heaven in the earth. You will be

1183
01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:16.960
an echo, an exact representation of the divine life in the earth. And that to me is worthwhile.

1184
01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:21.840
And that's what the parable of the sower is about, is that if you take care of the soil,

1185
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:27.520
the seed will take care of itself. And how do you take care of the soil? The daily hard things

1186
01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:35.040
challenge takes care of the soil. That's what the daily hard things is doing. And so like,

1187
01:16:35.040 --> 01:16:38.480
because I've been in this process, and like you said, you know, Justin, about inner healing and

1188
01:16:38.480 --> 01:16:45.360
all of those things and seeing so much transformation with so many people and a bunch of

1189
01:16:45.360 --> 01:16:51.600
like how I came to creating the hard things challenge was doing a lot of reverse

1190
01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:57.200
engineering on what was setting people free and what wasn't.

1191
01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:07.520
You know, why is it that you can have 100 people in a school and five people get set free

1192
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:12.400
really, really quickly? You know, a few people experience, you know, a good

1193
01:17:13.120 --> 01:17:17.600
measure of transformation, some experience a moderate, some experience absolutely nothing

1194
01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:22.640
at all, and don't even think that God was at the school. You know, it's like, what is it that's

1195
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:30.000
actually the difference? And it's always, it's never the seed, you know, like, it's the soil

1196
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:36.400
that is the difference. It's like, how is a person's heart being stewarded? So that's the

1197
01:17:36.400 --> 01:17:42.160
purpose of the hard things challenge is to prepare our hearts, set up our hearts,

1198
01:17:42.160 --> 01:17:48.880
so that the divine life can actually thrive and become incarnate and manifest in us.

1199
01:17:52.080 --> 01:17:56.640
Carolyn, were you about to ask something? Did you have a question?

1200
01:17:56.640 --> 01:18:04.080
No, I was just agreeing. It's just so mind boggling on one side of it, because you've

1201
01:18:04.080 --> 01:18:08.800
just got so much other religious baggage that you've just got to undo. So I'm just sitting

1202
01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:18.240
there going, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. So yeah, great. Yeah, Benji, just maybe it mightn't be for this

1203
01:18:18.240 --> 01:18:23.840
time, but say, how does the rites of passage stuff? Does it mesh in with this? Or is it a

1204
01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:29.760
separate thing? What's the story there? Yeah, the rite of passage, we did an entire like,

1205
01:18:30.480 --> 01:18:37.040
um, challenge on that earlier in the year. So the rite of passage is an optional extra if you want

1206
01:18:37.040 --> 01:18:45.120
to take that on to level three. So if you wanted to really understand, I think you did the rite

1207
01:18:45.120 --> 01:18:51.920
of passage challenge with us. Like that, that challenge, I think you were with us in January,

1208
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:59.040
we did it. But let me, let me share my screen and show you guys a couple of things here

1209
01:18:59.040 --> 01:19:04.720
about posting about the rite of passage and about next steps, depending on where you're,

1210
01:19:04.720 --> 01:19:14.480
where you're at in the journey. So here we go. This is not what I've got multiple tabs open,

1211
01:19:14.480 --> 01:19:20.800
but let's just go here. Welcome to Facebook, everybody. Let's go to we're going to so I'm

1212
01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:28.960
going to take you now to the Raising Royalty Facebook group. And in there, I'm going to take

1213
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:40.800
you into the guide section. And I'm going to show you two guides in there. So there we go.

1214
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:46.480
So hopefully you guys are a little bit familiar with the guide side of things. So if you come up

1215
01:19:46.480 --> 01:19:52.640
here, this is the group. This is guide. So if you click in here to guides, it'll bring up all the

1216
01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:59.200
teachings now you can actually see all the stuff on the platform as well as on the events and

1217
01:19:59.200 --> 01:20:05.520
challenges. So if you click in here, you can see, you know, all the things that we do on the

1218
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.400
So this is the Kingdom Business Summit,

1219
01:20:03.400 --> 01:20:06.200
which we just had, the Divine Health Summit,

1220
01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:10.960
platform. So if you click in here, you can see all the things that we do on the platform. So

1221
01:20:06.200 --> 01:20:07.640
the Rite of Passage Challenge.

1222
01:20:07.640 --> 01:20:09.480
Now, this was really powerful.

1223
01:20:09.480 --> 01:20:14.480
And we talk a lot about the spirituality, the psychology,

1224
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:16.320
the science of transformation,

1225
01:20:16.320 --> 01:20:18.400
all of that that's really connected in

1226
01:20:18.400 --> 01:20:21.800
with the 21 Day Hard Things is in this challenge here.

1227
01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:23.120
So if you want to check out that,

1228
01:20:23.120 --> 01:20:24.320
and if you want to see exactly

1229
01:20:24.320 --> 01:20:25.960
how the Rite of Passage works,

1230
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.680
this is the guide here which just unpacks every piece of it.

1231
01:20:29.680 --> 01:20:33.240
So I think session six is the one,

1232
01:20:33.240 --> 01:20:34.600
I see five and six, I think,

1233
01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:37.280
are the ones that actually, blow by blow,

1234
01:20:37.280 --> 01:20:40.920
break down how the Rite of Passage works.

1235
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:44.000
Then this is the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge here.

1236
01:20:44.000 --> 01:20:48.840
So if you want more info on the Rite of Passage,

1237
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:52.240
these two videos here, just break it down exactly

1238
01:20:52.240 --> 01:20:53.440
so you can see precisely, okay,

1239
01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:58.040
this is exactly what's involved in the Rite of Passage

1240
01:20:58.040 --> 01:21:00.040
if you want to do that.

1241
01:21:00.040 --> 01:21:01.720
And then, yep.

1242
01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:04.680
Do you advise that we do these sequentially?

1243
01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:08.720
Well, level one, level two, level three, yeah, 100%.

1244
01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:11.440
Right, I'll have to go back to the start then.

1245
01:21:11.440 --> 01:21:14.440
Yeah, so when you're doing your posting,

1246
01:21:14.440 --> 01:21:15.680
if you come to this guide here,

1247
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:17.440

I will put the replay for this up in here as well.

1250
01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:22.840
So you have a bunch of different videos that are here.

1251
01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:24.680
You have this list here.

1252
01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:27.400
I'll share, if there's anyone wanting to do it

1253
01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:31.720
right from the start, I'll share the link with you.

1254
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:32.560
I'll put it in the description.

1255
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.680
There was a lady asking that a while ago, I saw.

1256
01:21:36.080 --> 01:21:37.480
Sorry, say that again?

1257
01:21:37.480 --> 01:21:40.280
There was a lady that come up on my screen

1258
01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:41.840
that says, what is this?

1259
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:43.480
I want to do this.

1260
01:21:43.480 --> 01:21:44.680
How do I do this?

1261
01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:46.280
Oh, yeah.

1262
01:21:46.280 --> 01:21:48.600
Well, here's the easy thing.

1263
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.720
Let me just see, I think.

1264

How do you start the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge?

1265
01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:57.680
This video here, guide two, right?

01:21:57.680 --> 01:22:00.080
So it's the second video in the guide.

01:22:00.080 --> 01:22:02.320
How do you do, this is it right here.

01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:31.480
So this is day one.

1299
01:23:31.480 --> 01:23:33.560
You just put your comment here,

1300
01:23:33.560 --> 01:23:38.560
just put your perk up and you can just say something.

1301
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:41.840
And then as you go through, like they're all here.

1302
01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:45.280
So you can just put all your accountability posts up.

1303
01:23:46.280 --> 01:23:48.000
Same in the Online School of Sunship,

1304
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:49.560
if you're doing level two,

1305
01:23:49.560 --> 01:23:50.720
you can do the same thing there.

1306
01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:53.560
You can jump into the guide and you can do that.

1307
01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:56.880
And then if you're gonna do the level three,

1308
01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:58.200
right of passage,

1309
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:00.880
you can kind of choose this.

1310
01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:04.960
So the right of passage is more like,

1311
01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:07.400
you might wanna take like a year or something,

1312
01:24:07.400 --> 01:24:09.640
or six months to do the full right of passage.

1313
01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:11.400
It's got a required reading list.

1314
01:24:11.400 --> 01:24:13.840
It's got some cool adventures.

1315
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:16.880
There's a whole range of,

1316
01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:18.480
we call them the acts of valor.

1317
01:24:18.480 --> 01:24:20.360
So there's 10 acts of valor there

1318
01:24:20.360 --> 01:24:21.840
that you have to achieve.

1319
01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:26.520
There's a required reading list that you have to complete.

1320
01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:29.600
And then there's the level three

1321
01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:31.600
hard things challenge there.

1322
01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:36.600
So what we do say,

1323
01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:39.280
I think that's someone here

1324
01:24:39.280 --> 01:24:41.680
got some cool background music playing.

1325
01:24:44.680 --> 01:24:45.760
Where is that?

1326
01:24:49.120 --> 01:24:50.000
Oh, that was Justin.

1327
01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:51.680
It was Justin's background music.

1328
01:24:55.320 --> 01:24:58.840
So level three,

1329
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:02.760
where it changes, there's not many changes

1330
01:25:02.760 --> 01:25:06.840
between level two and level three, it's pretty similar.

1331
01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:12.160
We upgrade, so when you go level one to level two,

1332
01:25:12.160 --> 01:25:15.200
you go from five minutes praying in the spirit a day to 10,

1333
01:25:15.200 --> 01:25:18.480
level three is 15 minutes praying in the spirit a day.

1334
01:25:18.480 --> 01:25:21.600
And what we say for people, if they wanna do level three,

1335
01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:23.360
now, if you're in a circle,

1336
01:25:23.360 --> 01:25:26.480
the rite of passage program is free, it's included in that.

1337
01:25:26.480 --> 01:25:27.480
If you're not and you're like,

1338
01:25:27.480 --> 01:25:29.720
hey, I just wanna do the rite of passage program,

1339
01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:31.320
you do level one, that's free.

1340
01:25:31.320 --> 01:25:33.000
If you really wanna do level two,

1341
01:25:34.040 --> 01:25:35.400
you join the online school of sonship

1342
01:25:35.400 --> 01:25:37.320
or the basic access on the platform,

1343
01:25:37.320 --> 01:25:42.320
it's only $37 to do that for the level two.

1344
01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:45.000
If you're in the, like I said,

1345
01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:47.320
and if you're in a circle, you get everything for free,

1346
01:25:47.320 --> 01:25:51.800
but if you wanna do level two, it's just $37.

1347
01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:54.520
If you wanna do level three and you have to do,

1348
01:25:54.520 --> 01:25:56.200
you have to join the full rite of passage program

1349
01:25:56.200 --> 01:26:00.760
to do level three, and that's like three, nine, seven

1350
01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:03.760
to jump on board for the full rite of passage.

1351
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:06.480
But like I said, if you're in a circle,

1352
01:26:06.480 --> 01:26:09.960
you get everything for free, no extras there.

1353
01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:14.160
So what we say about level three though,

1354
01:26:14.160 --> 01:26:16.120
is level one, level two,

1355
01:26:16.120 --> 01:26:18.600
it's kind of about just kind of practicing,

1356
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:20.960
like, hey, let's kind of get, start creating a rhythm.

1357
01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:23.920
You might've come from a family that had no rhythm, right?

1358
01:26:24.120 --> 01:26:26.800
The rhythm in your family might've been drugs, alcohol

1359
01:26:26.800 --> 01:26:29.320
and bashing mum around the kitchen, you know?

1360
01:26:29.320 --> 01:26:33.080
So to start this new rhythm is quite a significant thing

1361
01:26:33.080 --> 01:26:37.320
and we wanna focus on transformation, not perfection.

1362
01:26:37.320 --> 01:26:40.600
But when it comes to level three, we step it up a bit

1363
01:26:40.600 --> 01:26:43.160
in the sense that when it comes to level three,

1364
01:26:43.160 --> 01:26:45.480
we really wanna help people achieve,

1365
01:26:45.480 --> 01:26:47.680
like this is like giant slayer status, okay?

1366
01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:49.760
If you really wanna start stepping up into, okay, right,

1367
01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:54.760
hey, let's really get you ready for your destiny.

1368
01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:57.000
Let's really get you ready

1369
01:26:57.000 --> 01:27:00.280
to really start reshaping reality around your life.

1370
01:27:00.280 --> 01:27:02.640
Let's really help you build some serious momentum.

1371
01:27:02.640 --> 01:27:06.520
So the main difference with level three is we say to people,

1372
01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:09.240
hey, this is, you've gotta be personally accountable,

1373
01:27:09.240 --> 01:27:12.880
but if you miss something one day, start again.

1374
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:17.640
So that's on you as an individual

1375
01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:20.720
just to be personally accountable to that.

1376
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:22.320
But that's what we say to people is like,

1377
01:27:22.320 --> 01:27:24.600
hey, with level one, level two, no worries,

1378
01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:27.440
but level three, personally take real ownership for it

1379
01:27:27.440 --> 01:27:29.360
and take it really seriously

1380
01:27:29.360 --> 01:27:32.160
because that's how you're gonna get the real gains from it.

1381
01:27:32.160 --> 01:27:34.800
And you're not gonna taste the power of it

1382
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:37.200
if you don't actually really implement.

1383
01:27:37.200 --> 01:27:39.800
So the key is not like making it exclusive.

1384
01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:42.440
The key is making sure people take it seriously

1385
01:27:42.440 --> 01:27:46.200
to implement it because you can't get the value out of it

1386
01:27:46.200 --> 01:27:47.480
if you don't implement.

1387
01:27:48.320 --> 01:27:51.080
So yeah, I think it's at this point

1388
01:27:51.080 --> 01:27:52.800
that we should definitely hear from Barbara

1389
01:27:52.800 --> 01:27:55.760
because I'm really interested to hear how you're doing.

1390
01:27:59.880 --> 01:28:01.320
Well, I'm doing great.

1391
01:28:01.320 --> 01:28:02.360
This is fantastic.

1392
01:28:02.360 --> 01:28:03.880
I love learning new things.

1393
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:07.520
I feel like this is like a real growth opportunity.

1394
01:28:07.520 --> 01:28:08.720
So I'm really enjoying it.

1395
01:28:08.720 --> 01:28:09.640
Thank you.

1396
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:11.600
Cool, well, tell us something about where you are

1397
01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:13.360
and what's happening in your world.

1398
01:28:14.280 --> 01:28:16.600
I live in Curtis, Ontario,

1399
01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:19.360
which is outside of Toronto, Canada.

1400
01:28:19.360 --> 01:28:24.360
And I'm a teacher in the daytime for part of the day.

1401
01:28:25.600 --> 01:28:28.760
And I love working with special education students

1402
01:28:28.760 --> 01:28:30.240
and changing people's lives,

1403
01:28:30.240 --> 01:28:33.200
speaking to kids and changing their life,

1404
01:28:33.200 --> 01:28:34.840
their destiny, their vision,

1405
01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:36.800
creating vision for students.

1406
01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:37.800
That's what I'm about.

1407
01:28:37.800 --> 01:28:39.480
Oh, that is very exciting.

1408
01:28:39.480 --> 01:28:41.040
Very cool.

1409
01:28:41.040 --> 01:28:43.080
Well, thank you for sharing.

1410
01:28:43.080 --> 01:28:44.600
Laura, how are you doing?

1411
01:28:47.440 --> 01:28:48.280
Are you there?

1412
01:28:48.280 --> 01:28:49.880
I mean, I can see that you're there.

1413
01:28:49.880 --> 01:28:50.880
Can you speak up?

1414
01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:54.160
Oh, you're muted now.

1415
01:28:54.160 --> 01:28:55.520
You were unmuted.

1416
01:28:55.520 --> 01:28:58.440
Now you're, but I can't hear you for some reason.

1417
01:29:01.280 --> 01:29:02.520
Can you hear me?

1418
01:29:02.520 --> 01:29:04.240
No, somebody else, sorry.

1419
01:29:04.240 --> 01:29:05.760
Oh, I can hear, that was Joelle.

1420
01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:06.840
I could hear Joelle.

1421
01:29:08.840 --> 01:29:11.920
I'm just trying to get, Laura, what are you doing?

1422
01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:13.440
I'm trying to get you to speak up.

1423
01:29:13.440 --> 01:29:14.280
Can you hear me?

1424
01:29:14.280 --> 01:29:15.120
Can you hear me?

1425
01:29:15.920 --> 01:29:17.960
Laura, why have we got no audio for you?

1426
01:29:21.360 --> 01:29:22.240
Oh, I see Cheryl.

1427
01:29:22.240 --> 01:29:24.120
Cheryl had to go.

1428
01:29:24.120 --> 01:29:26.840
Joelle, why don't you jump on board for a second?

1429
01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:28.400
Laura, have a little play there.

1430
01:29:28.400 --> 01:29:29.240
See what's going on.

1431
01:29:29.240 --> 01:29:30.640
We'd love to hear from you.

1432
01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:31.600
Joelle, how are you doing?

1433
01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:33.440
You finished dinner?

1434
01:29:33.440 --> 01:29:34.760
Yes, sorry, I did.

1435
01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:37.480
Very good.

1436
01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:39.720
Yeah.

1437
01:29:41.600 --> 01:29:42.440
How's it going for you?

1438
01:29:42.440 --> 01:29:43.600
Did you have any questions?

1439
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:46.840
Not really.

1440
01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:50.120
I mean, just the accountability photo,

1441
01:29:50.120 --> 01:29:54.800
is it just something that you've done throughout the day

1442
01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:56.200
or what is it?

1443
01:29:56.200 --> 01:29:59.000
Yeah, usually what we do is just take a pic,

1444
01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:00.400
could be a photo of a tree.

1445
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.840
bottle if you look through all the other pics you'll see all sorts of different pics there so

1446
01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:08.640
it could just be as simple as a photo of a drink bottle or it could be you know you're sweaty from

1447
01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:14.320
going for a run or it could be anything you're doing something nice for someone or just any type

1448
01:30:14.320 --> 01:30:20.640
of photo at all that kind of is connected to what you've been doing for the day okay thank you yeah

1449
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:32.000
no worries um wait evan how have you been doing my man you've been doing great with the challenge

1450
01:30:33.600 --> 01:30:42.560
um okay yeah um i think i probably need to go uh repeat level two you know like i i get

1451
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:49.920
most things done every day but not everything um and so uh to go to that level three i think

1452
01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:57.200
i need to uh i need to i need to really get a few things i need to get to get level two

1453
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:02.880
completed where i do everything basically or most almost everything here so um

1454
01:31:05.040 --> 01:31:10.960
yeah but i'm really getting huge value out of this you know i hear different people talking

1455
01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:16.160
about the the well i hear you saying about the rhythm and the structure and that's really big

1456
01:31:16.160 --> 01:31:22.160
for me i've never been able to stick it during declarations for much longer than a week or so

1457
01:31:22.160 --> 01:31:29.840
for the year i am at 40 odd days you know um and that's been i've done i think i might have

1458
01:31:29.840 --> 01:31:36.000
missed that once in 40 days the declarations you know so oh come on that's amazing yeah that's

1459
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:42.800
that's been huge um yeah so i'm i'm stoked and i really want to i really want to get this right

1460
01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:49.280
because i see such value in it i was aware of caroline leaf's teachings before um that i started

1461
01:31:49.280 --> 01:31:57.200
on this in uh in terms of the 21 day neural pathways and so uh so yeah i was on board

1462
01:31:57.200 --> 01:32:03.200
straight away yeah very cool yeah very cool we've got laura reconnecting again so

1463
01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:08.400
let's try that laura let's see if your audio is gonna go

1464
01:32:09.200 --> 01:32:19.280
oh no audio from you um you can hear us though obviously i mean you haven't been sitting there

1465
01:32:20.000 --> 01:32:21.280
not hearing us this whole time

1466
01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:32.960
how rude um wow we'd really love to hear from you but for some weird reason we can't hear we've got

1467
01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:38.080
no audio i don't know if you want to check your speaker input or you i'm not sure what's

1468
01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:43.600
turning that off but it'd be cool to hear from you but any questions we just want to make this

1469
01:32:43.600 --> 01:32:50.320
real open mic space anyone who wants to know more i see diane there i see cindy we haven't heard from

1470
01:32:50.320 --> 01:33:00.160
and chris and uh isa and stephen but yeah caroline jump on board there um with i did the 21 day the

1471
01:33:00.160 --> 01:33:06.800
first one the first challenge and i've sort of continued it on but i haven't managed to finish

1472
01:33:07.600 --> 01:33:12.880
doing all of them like probably the last three or four i've struggled with but the biggest

1473
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:20.640
breakthrough for me has been the um doing the declarations and the trigger and you know now

1474
01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:26.240
just when i do that it's like my favorite time because it's it's the anointing of the lord that

1475
01:33:26.240 --> 01:33:34.000
comes on and it's like oh man i haven't felt this for ages and it's fantastic so yeah i'm gonna keep

1476
01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:40.480
going obviously i've been still doing it i'm on to day 49 but of course i haven't done all 12 and so

1477
01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:47.200
yeah yeah i definitely encourage you you know to like branch out on those 12 you're definitely

1478
01:33:47.200 --> 01:33:52.960
going to feel benefit from them and if you hadn't recognized or felt the benefit from them right away

1479
01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:58.320
then it's still definitely worth pressing on because it's only a matter of time before you

1480
01:33:58.320 --> 01:34:04.160
really feel that synergy kick in you definitely will feel the synergy from it kick in sooner or

1481
01:34:04.160 --> 01:34:12.160
later you'll be like wow that's that was worth it um but on the declarations point oh i see um

1482
01:34:12.160 --> 01:34:17.920
dorcas is keen to jump in here as well so dorcas why don't you jump in um but i will say on the

1483
01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:27.120
declaration side of things that i wish someone had taught on the power of declarations and a

1484
01:34:27.120 --> 01:34:33.920
structured process of declarations when i was younger absolutely doing declarations

1485
01:34:35.440 --> 01:34:41.760
you know for over a year pretty much every day i don't think i've seen anything more powerful to

1486
01:34:41.760 --> 01:34:50.080
reframe reality than that yeah my world that i live in now which is completely unbelievable

1487
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:56.880
to the world that i used to live in is a mirror reflection of my declarations that i've been making

1488
01:34:58.720 --> 01:34:59.840
wow

1489
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:02.520
Laura is trying again on a different device.

1490
01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:03.760
Let's see how we go.

1491
01:35:07.120 --> 01:35:09.280
Hey, sorry about that.

1492
01:35:09.280 --> 01:35:10.360
Yay!

1493
01:35:10.360 --> 01:35:12.520
So Dorcas, you jump in after Laura.

1494
01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:14.080
We finally got some audio.

1495
01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:17.240
What's been happening, Laura?

1496
01:35:17.240 --> 01:35:18.720
Y'all, I love being on here.

1497
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:20.000
Thank you.

1498
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.800
I've just gotten a lot from just listening to everybody.

1499
01:35:23.920 --> 01:35:25.480
I'm kind of new to everything.

1500
01:35:25.480 --> 01:35:26.800
I've joined the Inner Circle,

1501
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:28.640
but the Hard Things Challenge

1502
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:30.160
is something that I'm learning about.

1503
01:35:30.160 --> 01:35:32.880
And honestly, I would love to start at level three.

1504
01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:33.840
I know that sounds silly,

1505
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:38.360
but I've been kind of listening to the content.

1506
01:35:38.360 --> 01:35:40.800
And one of the things I did in college

1507
01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:44.640
was I made myself pray eight hours a day in the spirit

1508
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:46.400
and fast every other day.

1509
01:35:48.480 --> 01:35:50.680
Because of Dr. Cho, which I heard you talk about.

1510
01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:53.040
Oh, Yungi Cho, the man.

1511
01:35:53.040 --> 01:35:55.120
Yeah, so that was like,

1512
01:35:55.120 --> 01:35:57.920
I found the person doing the most praying

1513
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:00.520
and I decided I would try to meet that.

1514
01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:04.080
So anyway, I love it.

1515
01:36:04.080 --> 01:36:05.200
I think this is great.

1516
01:36:05.200 --> 01:36:08.320
And I'm kind of one of those people

1517
01:36:08.320 --> 01:36:11.240
who has done the religious path

1518
01:36:11.240 --> 01:36:12.680
and then been healed from that.

1519
01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:14.960
So God's really taken me back

1520
01:36:14.960 --> 01:36:16.920
into some of the old disciplines

1521
01:36:16.920 --> 01:36:19.760
and just encouraging me to reignite.

1522
01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:22.400
I mean, I wouldn't say I ever stopped being disciplined.

1523
01:36:22.400 --> 01:36:25.560
I think it was something I've tried to continue,

1524
01:36:25.560 --> 01:36:30.560
but definitely opening my heart to learning

1525
01:36:33.040 --> 01:36:35.800
and to growing and to just see what God wants to do

1526
01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:36.640
through these things.

1527
01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:38.240
You know, I'm just open and excited.

1528
01:36:38.240 --> 01:36:41.760
So yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

1529
01:36:41.760 --> 01:36:42.800
It's good.

1530
01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:43.640
That's so cool.

1531
01:36:43.640 --> 01:36:45.960
I'm very excited, very excited for you.

1532
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:48.760
So what I would encourage is like,

1533
01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:52.440
start with level one and go.

1534
01:36:53.440 --> 01:36:56.240
Level one, just because you start at level one,

1535
01:36:56.240 --> 01:36:57.760
you know, it didn't mean that I was like,

1536
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:01.000
oh, flip, I can only pray five minutes in the spirit a day.

1537
01:37:02.360 --> 01:37:03.520
But start at level one

1538
01:37:03.520 --> 01:37:06.880
because you'll appreciate the rhythm of it.

1539
01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:10.600
And it's also because we want to get those full 63 days

1540
01:37:10.600 --> 01:37:12.080
and you'll appreciate the fact

1541
01:37:12.080 --> 01:37:14.200
that we go through the book of Proverbs in level one

1542
01:37:14.200 --> 01:37:19.200
and level two is Nehemiah and Esther.

1543
01:37:19.640 --> 01:37:20.880
Let me pull up for those

1544
01:37:20.880 --> 01:37:23.800
who are just about to go into level three.

1545
01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:30.720
Just the level three.

1546
01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:37.840
The hard things in level three, it's pretty similar.

1547
01:37:39.200 --> 01:37:44.200
The praying in the spirit goes up to 15 minutes a day.

1548
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:46.000
What have we got here?

1549
01:37:51.000 --> 01:37:54.880
I'm just trying to find the image.

1550
01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:59.440
For some reason, it's disappeared on me.

1551
01:38:00.280 --> 01:38:01.920
Is it this one?

1552
01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:03.600
It is 15 minutes.

1553
01:38:03.600 --> 01:38:04.720
Yeah, in level three,

1554
01:38:04.720 --> 01:38:06.960
it's praying in the spirit 15 minutes a day.

1555
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:09.160
I was just trying to find,

1556
01:38:09.160 --> 01:38:10.560
Angela, can you remember off the top of the head,

1557
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:12.760
what did we read in level three?

1558
01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:15.720
Angela's gone.

1559
01:38:17.120 --> 01:38:19.440
Anyway, it's there once you get started.

1560
01:38:19.440 --> 01:38:21.840
I just can't remember off the top of my head what-

1561
01:38:22.760 --> 01:38:26.200
Can you say that we pray together in level three?

1562
01:38:27.440 --> 01:38:28.720
No, I didn't say that.

1563
01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:29.560
Okay.

1564
01:38:29.560 --> 01:38:33.000
Yeah, that's all right, that's a good question.

1565
01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:34.920
But what I said is,

1566
01:38:34.920 --> 01:38:35.760
so in level three,

1567
01:38:35.760 --> 01:38:37.160
I just can't remember off the top of my head

1568
01:38:37.160 --> 01:38:39.360
which book we read through.

1569
01:38:39.360 --> 01:38:41.880
But once you've finished reading that

1570
01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:44.880
and you've actually completed the full 63 days,

1571
01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:46.600
if you want to, you can just jump on board

1572
01:38:47.240 --> 01:38:51.880
with the crew who's in that level three group.

1573
01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:53.280
And a bunch of us are just reading

1574
01:38:53.280 --> 01:38:55.440
through the same passages together.

1575
01:38:55.440 --> 01:38:57.680
So that's why I can't remember what book it was,

1576
01:38:57.680 --> 01:39:00.040
because we've like read all the minor prophets

1577
01:39:00.040 --> 01:39:02.640
and a bunch of the prophets and New Testament,

1578
01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:04.880
Old Testament, we're kind of going through all sorts.

1579
01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:08.520
So at the moment we're reading Ecclesiastes and Matthew,

1580
01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:09.880
but it just kind of bounces around.

1581
01:39:09.880 --> 01:39:10.720
And it's just,

1582
01:39:10.720 --> 01:39:12.680
if people want to read through that together, they can.

1583
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:14.200
It's kind of fun,

1584
01:39:14.240 --> 01:39:16.840
kind of having a crew that you're reading with.

1585
01:39:16.840 --> 01:39:19.440
Yeah, Laura, that's really exciting.

1586
01:39:19.440 --> 01:39:22.360
I'm really stoked to have you on board with us.

1587
01:39:22.360 --> 01:39:26.640
We've got to hear from Sharon and Cindy in a minute,

1588
01:39:26.640 --> 01:39:27.920
but let's hear from Dorcas.

1589
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:29.120
How are you doing Dorcas?

1590
01:39:29.120 --> 01:39:30.040
And we've got Helen,

1591
01:39:30.040 --> 01:39:32.160
we've got a bunch of others who

1592
01:39:32.160 --> 01:39:34.520
we're more than happy to hear from, Diane.

1593
01:39:34.520 --> 01:39:36.000
Yeah, so if you guys want to chat,

1594
01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:38.080
then just raise your hand or say, hey,

1595
01:39:38.080 --> 01:39:40.320
just we're keen to hear from you.

1596
01:39:40.320 --> 01:39:41.720
So Dorcas, what's happening?

1597
01:39:41.720 --> 01:39:43.920
You've been doing so well in the hard things.

1598
01:39:44.800 --> 01:39:47.920
Hi, it's been going real good.

1599
01:39:50.440 --> 01:39:52.880
I do have a question because

1600
01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:55.920
in the level one hard things challenge,

1601
01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:58.280
it was absolutely amazing.

1602
01:39:58.280 --> 01:40:00.120
And I had like this big turnaround.

1603
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:06.160
in my life in just so many areas where things just, it's like, uh, so many things that I felt

1604
01:40:06.160 --> 01:40:11.440
God had told me were going to happen in my life started, like, didn't fully, didn't fully happen,

1605
01:40:11.440 --> 01:40:18.080
but started, you know, and then into level two, the first half was great, but then about the last

1606
01:40:18.080 --> 01:40:24.000
half, I just felt like I lost my enthusiasm and like, I just got really robotic and like, it was

1607
01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:29.200
just get this done. I didn't like it. I didn't feel like it. It was no, you know, it was just

1608
01:40:29.200 --> 01:40:35.120
like, I have to get this done just so I can say I did it. And so by the time level two got done,

1609
01:40:35.120 --> 01:40:42.080
like I did it all except, um, I really have a hard time with genius financial move every day.

1610
01:40:42.080 --> 01:40:46.800
So I missed, you know, probably five days in the 21 days, I probably missed at least five days

1611
01:40:48.080 --> 01:40:52.880
and loving on someone intentionally. If I can count my kids and my husband,

1612
01:40:53.440 --> 01:40:59.440
then that's no problem. But if I have to, if it has to go like every day to someone else,

1613
01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:06.880
then that's really challenging for me. So what I, what my question is, is should I go back and

1614
01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:14.320
do level two just because I missed some of those things on some days, or is it okay to keep going

1615
01:41:14.320 --> 01:41:19.680
and go into level three? Yeah, totally. It's totally your choice. It's no pressure. We, um,

1616
01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:24.720
we, it's only level three that we say to people, okay, Hey, like level three is the time to like,

1617
01:41:25.280 --> 01:41:31.200
really dig deep. So level two, no, no pressure there. And level three is when we say to people,

1618
01:41:31.200 --> 01:41:38.640
Hey, like dig real deep here. And if you, you know, if you miss something on one of the days,

1619
01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:43.920
then go back and start again, because it's not about anything other than helping people to

1620
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:49.920
experience the full value of the process. That's, that's the reason why we say, Hey, go back,

1621
01:41:49.920 --> 01:41:54.640
because it's like cutting corners. You know, if you want to, you know, if you're out running and

1622
01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:58.880
you cut corners and you know, you've got a plan to do it, you know, like 10 K run, but you cut

1623
01:41:58.880 --> 01:42:03.840
the corners, you only do a 4k run. You're only going to get a 4k benefit. So that's the whole,

1624
01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:09.600
that's why it's like, Hey, we want to ensure that people get the full benefit of the process.

1625
01:42:10.240 --> 01:42:16.160
Yeah. And then the other, the other stuff of just ticking through the boxes, that's really becomes

1626
01:42:16.160 --> 01:42:23.040
a, like, that's really just like a focus side of things or, Hey, what's really motivating you right

1627
01:42:23.040 --> 01:42:27.360
now, shift, you know, if you've shifted out of, Hey, actually, this is the process of me bringing

1628
01:42:27.360 --> 01:42:33.520
my wildest dreams to life to, you know, just getting distracted from that and thinking,

1629
01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:37.360
Oh, this has become obligation. It's never good to act out of obligation.

1630
01:42:38.320 --> 01:42:46.160
So what I would do is I would work on my focus. Here's, here's one of the things like, for example,

1631
01:42:46.160 --> 01:42:57.360
you can milk passion. Here's how I milk passion. I imagine my dream and I imagine what I will feel

1632
01:42:58.240 --> 01:43:07.440
like when my dream comes true. And imagine how much you want that on a scale of one to 10,

1633
01:43:07.440 --> 01:43:14.880
how much do you want that dream to come true? And then I imagine what happens if that dream

1634
01:43:14.880 --> 01:43:21.280
never happens. It just never, it just dies. How much pain do I experience in that moment?

1635
01:43:21.280 --> 01:43:25.520
When I imagine that versus how much joy do I experience when I imagine the dream coming to

1636
01:43:25.520 --> 01:43:30.240
fruition, a simple exercise like that will help you refocus on actually, Whoa, hang on a minute.

1637
01:43:30.240 --> 01:43:35.920
I'm a person who values the fruition of my wildest dreams, and it's worth doing this right now to

1638
01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:41.360
set myself up in a rhythm that has the power to redefine reality and change everything around me.

1639
01:43:41.360 --> 01:43:47.360
So it's really just like that heart focus, motivation, and just making some of those

1640
01:43:47.360 --> 01:43:52.800
slight recalibrations. And you'll find it will totally shift the balance out of obligation

1641
01:43:52.800 --> 01:44:00.320
back into ownership. Okay. That makes a lot of sense. And that helps a lot. Thank you.

1642
01:44:00.320 --> 01:44:03.920
Oh, go after it. You've been doing great. And I've loved all your testimonies coming through.

1643
01:44:04.960 --> 01:44:10.880
Can I go off of that, Benji? Yeah, man. So like you said, there's times where you feel like,

1644
01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:16.720
and I'm saying definitely have improving a lot in this and learning how to reframe.

1645
01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:23.280
But when you get to those modes of like you feeling like it's an obligation,

1646
01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:31.120
how would you feel that, like, for example, a lot of times the hardest moments for me would be at

1647
01:44:31.120 --> 01:44:37.200
nighttime. You know, like I said, we are I'm part of like a ministry or school that we're starting

1648
01:44:37.200 --> 01:44:41.040
and some days like you're learning how to follow these disciplines and you're learning how to fit

1649
01:44:41.120 --> 01:44:47.600
this into your rhythm of life. And you get to the end of the night. And some days you're just like

1650
01:44:49.040 --> 01:44:53.760
tired or you're like, I don't know what to do. Like, how would you push through that without

1651
01:44:53.760 --> 01:44:59.360
feeling like being an obligation? And, and, you know, yeah, I guess that's what I would I would

1652
01:44:59.360 --> 01:44:59.760
kind of

1653
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:06.560
maybe like here's a here's something that's important as well as like reframing obligation

1654
01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:16.320
versus responsibility as well yeah i i have uh i have some obligations that you know are named

1655
01:45:16.320 --> 01:45:25.760
isra zoe alia tobias alana you know and those are but i i don't label them as obligations

1656
01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:31.600
you know i will lay them label them as responsibilities yeah this is a thing that

1657
01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:37.440
this is a balance for us as well as i actually do i want to be responsible for stewarding every

1658
01:45:37.440 --> 01:45:43.920
area of my life like a boss for example if you have an encounter with the spirit of wisdom

1659
01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:52.480
she doesn't care about your excuses like wisdom doesn't care about your excuses wisdom's like bro

1660
01:45:53.440 --> 01:45:55.040
you got 24 hours a day

1661
01:45:58.080 --> 01:46:02.560
what's up with you um so

1662
01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:12.240
wisdom wisdom would come to you and say hey take extreme ownership for every single area of your

1663
01:46:12.240 --> 01:46:17.680
life like wisdom would be like hey have you got the fruit in your life that you want wisdom will

1664
01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:22.960
ask you hey you living the fruition of your wildest dreams right now wisdom will challenge

1665
01:46:22.960 --> 01:46:30.080
you with like what do you really want and wisdom will highlight the gap between what you really

1666
01:46:30.080 --> 01:46:39.360
want and where you are and the answer to that gap the thing that solves that gap every single time

1667
01:46:39.360 --> 01:46:49.840
is a rhythm so you could you this is the this is about taking responsibility for your destiny

1668
01:46:49.840 --> 01:46:53.280
now you want to take responsibility for your destiny you could say this is all i feel

1669
01:46:53.280 --> 01:46:57.840
obligated right now i feel obligated but you could you could reframe that to actually

1670
01:46:58.560 --> 01:47:04.960
i feel a sense of obligation but really what that obligation is there's something in my soul

1671
01:47:05.040 --> 01:47:12.160
awakening me to the fact that i need to take responsibility for my own destiny and maybe

1672
01:47:12.160 --> 01:47:19.200
just maybe that that voice that we're hearing is obligation is wisdom speaking to us saying

1673
01:47:19.200 --> 01:47:22.240
who's going to take responsibility for your destiny if you don't

1674
01:47:24.000 --> 01:47:33.120
whoa and if for for example i i know that if you came face to face with wisdom

1675
01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:39.520
and you're having an encounter with wisdom and wisdom's like hey here's the life of your dreams

1676
01:47:41.440 --> 01:47:45.280
um how does that compare to your current experience of reality

1677
01:47:46.720 --> 01:47:51.840
and everywhere there's a gap wisdom will first start with extreme ownership

1678
01:47:52.960 --> 01:48:00.720
as the starting point won't take any excuses as valid and will only like

1679
01:48:01.360 --> 01:48:07.440
will will point you always to a place of extreme ownership and and that extreme ownership will

1680
01:48:07.440 --> 01:48:13.920
always come back to a place of a sacred rhythm in your life and wherever there's dysfunction

1681
01:48:13.920 --> 01:48:18.960
wisdom will point out a place where the where the sacred rhythm is out of balance in your life

1682
01:48:20.160 --> 01:48:26.640
so what we might sometimes be hearing is obligation could actually be connected to

1683
01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:34.960
responsibility calling us up to live in that space of the fruition of our wildest dreams

1684
01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:46.000
hi benji it's chris from mandra chris how you doing man man i've been following your stuff

1685
01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:49.520
for a while the fact i found out about you through nancy cohen who i found out about

1686
01:48:49.520 --> 01:48:53.680

1687
01:48:53.680 --> 01:48:59.520
so glad that i did because he's been speaking to me about how consistency is the key to where you

1688
01:48:59.520 --> 01:49:04.880
want to go with it's i've been getting challenged on that all week and i am responsible for my own

1689
01:49:04.880 --> 01:49:11.440
destiny thank you i want to join i'm going to join in i've been i've been putting off joining

1690
01:49:11.440 --> 01:49:19.920
in your stuff for weeks enough where did you say you were from mandarin western australia oh come

1691
01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:26.320
on awesome i've actually got um a media ministry i do a podcast i've been doing one for a while

1692
01:49:26.320 --> 01:49:30.640
my wife and i just started doing one together and the lord's been really speaking to me about

1693
01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:36.080
consistency and uh but i really felt i really felt like i really felt challenged that that

1694
01:49:36.080 --> 01:49:41.840
consistency is so important i never thought about it framing it the way you did the sacred rhythm

1695
01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:49.200
but it's and i love what you said the soil is the thing the soil is the sea well because i was

1696
01:49:49.200 --> 01:49:53.200
actually asking the lord why is it i've got something in me that's been in me since i was

1697
01:49:53.200 --> 01:49:58.480
20 years old and i've never seen the fullness of it and i was talking about some big promises

1698
01:49:58.480 --> 01:49:59.840
and big dreams i even preached

1699
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:01.560
on Joseph on Saturday.

1700
01:50:01.560 --> 01:50:02.960
And here's my answer.

1701
01:50:02.960 --> 01:50:04.440
The soil.

1702
01:50:04.440 --> 01:50:07.040
I have to take care of my own soil.

1703
01:50:07.040 --> 01:50:08.280
Thank you, my brother.

1704
01:50:08.280 --> 01:50:11.280
I'm taking that on board and I'm going to join in.

1705
01:50:11.280 --> 01:50:12.480
That's exciting, man.

1706
01:50:12.480 --> 01:50:13.760
That's exciting.

1707
01:50:13.760 --> 01:50:15.880
I would have to say the same thing, Benjamin.

1708
01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:19.760
I have been very creative and I really,

1709
01:50:20.680 --> 01:50:22.480
I hate to even admit this.

1710
01:50:22.480 --> 01:50:25.280
I actually hate being told what to do, when to do it

1711
01:50:25.280 --> 01:50:28.520
and what to eat, when to eat.

1712
01:50:28.560 --> 01:50:31.880
I find self-discipline very difficult.

1713
01:50:31.880 --> 01:50:34.400
It seems to go against my free spirit.

1714
01:50:36.200 --> 01:50:40.240
And yet I know that even if I start your level one,

1715
01:50:40.240 --> 01:50:43.640
I would be shocked if I can actually get through that.

1716
01:50:43.640 --> 01:50:46.480
And I may even put myself on the same level

1717
01:50:46.480 --> 01:50:48.960
as the level three, that if I miss one day,

1718
01:50:48.960 --> 01:50:49.880
I'll start again.

1719
01:50:51.200 --> 01:50:55.240
But it's almost like a hatred in me for that.

1720
01:50:55.240 --> 01:50:57.040
That self-discipline.

1721
01:50:57.040 --> 01:51:01.640
Like Gestapo, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

1722
01:51:01.640 --> 01:51:04.480
And it's the first time I've ever actually told anybody

1723
01:51:04.480 --> 01:51:06.760
this about me.

1724
01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:09.920
Maybe it's the first time I've really faced it in myself.

1725
01:51:09.920 --> 01:51:14.360
But the reason I didn't,

1726
01:51:14.360 --> 01:51:16.000
part of the reason I didn't join you first up

1727
01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:17.280
was because I looked at all the things

1728
01:51:17.280 --> 01:51:18.120
and I thought I will do,

1729
01:51:18.120 --> 01:51:20.880
I do 10 times what most of those things are.

1730
01:51:20.880 --> 01:51:25.080
But that's when you talked about the consistency today,

1731
01:51:25.080 --> 01:51:27.400
it's not why the Holy Spirit brought it to me

1732
01:51:27.400 --> 01:51:28.240
in the first place,

1733
01:51:28.240 --> 01:51:29.400
the fact that I could do most of it.

1734
01:51:29.400 --> 01:51:30.440
And I do most of it.

1735
01:51:33.440 --> 01:51:35.080
Spend hours with God a day.

1736
01:51:35.080 --> 01:51:36.320
The thing is my problem is,

1737
01:51:36.320 --> 01:51:37.760
and I've been a teacher for years

1738
01:51:37.760 --> 01:51:40.080
and I've never been given a full-time job.

1739
01:51:40.080 --> 01:51:43.160
And this is why I have no rhythm in my life.

1740
01:51:43.160 --> 01:51:45.200
How on earth would I expect God to give me

1741
01:51:45.200 --> 01:51:48.240
a classroom of kids to take through rhythm

1742
01:51:48.240 --> 01:51:51.200
and teach them consistency and rhythm

1743
01:51:51.200 --> 01:51:53.240
when I haven't even got it myself?

1744
01:51:53.800 --> 01:51:55.160
Yes.

1745
01:51:55.160 --> 01:51:56.440
So thank you.

1746
01:51:56.440 --> 01:51:58.880
And I did miss one thing that you said earlier

1747
01:51:58.880 --> 01:52:01.840
about perfectionism creates competition

1748
01:52:01.840 --> 01:52:03.720
and competition creates this.

1749
01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:05.240
And I missed it.

1750
01:52:05.240 --> 01:52:06.080
Yeah.

1751
01:52:06.080 --> 01:52:06.920
Come off your tongue quickly

1752
01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:08.440
so you may remember it.

1753
01:52:08.440 --> 01:52:10.720
Perfection leads to comparison

1754
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:12.920
and comparison is the thief of joy.

1755
01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:16.480
The thief of joy, the stealer of joy.

1756
01:52:16.480 --> 01:52:18.000
It's the thief of joy.

1757
01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:19.480
Comparison is the thief of joy.

1758
01:52:19.480 --> 01:52:22.080
Whereas transformation leads to gratitude

1759
01:52:22.080 --> 01:52:23.840
and gratitude multiplies joy.

1760
01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:26.880
I'm going to make myself a plaque,

1761
01:52:26.880 --> 01:52:28.760
a wall plaque on that.

1762
01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:30.400
That is brilliant.

1763
01:52:30.400 --> 01:52:32.000
It's really powerful.

1764
01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:33.400
And I'm going to stop recording you now

1765
01:52:33.400 --> 01:52:34.400
because I've got it.

1766
01:52:36.040 --> 01:52:38.040
Because I wouldn't remember that anyway.

1767
01:52:39.040 --> 01:52:39.880
Cool.

1768
01:52:39.880 --> 01:52:41.320
Thank you.

1769
01:52:41.320 --> 01:52:42.560
Well, I'm really keen to hear

1770
01:52:42.560 --> 01:52:44.600
from a couple of other guys before we sign off.

1771
01:52:44.600 --> 01:52:45.800
I might have to go.

1772
01:52:45.800 --> 01:52:46.640
Yeah, all good.

1773
01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:49.240
But Cindy, Diane, if you're keen,

1774
01:52:49.240 --> 01:52:50.680
some of the other guys.

1775
01:52:51.680 --> 01:52:53.000
But Cindy, how are you doing?

1776
01:52:53.000 --> 01:52:53.840
What's happening?

1777
01:52:53.840 --> 01:52:54.680
Where are you?

1778
01:53:00.400 --> 01:53:01.360
Can you hear me?

1779
01:53:01.360 --> 01:53:02.560
Yeah, we got you.

1780
01:53:04.080 --> 01:53:05.240
Have to change rooms.

1781
01:53:08.080 --> 01:53:08.920
Sorry.

1782
01:53:09.880 --> 01:53:10.960
There we go.

1783
01:53:10.960 --> 01:53:12.640
My husband's in the other room watching TV

1784
01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:13.760
so I had to get out of that room

1785
01:53:13.760 --> 01:53:15.360
so I don't bother him.

1786
01:53:17.480 --> 01:53:19.600
I just popped in kind of towards the end.

1787
01:53:19.600 --> 01:53:21.800
So I'm sort of just catching

1788
01:53:24.040 --> 01:53:25.840
whatever you guys were talking about.

1789
01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:29.160
Yeah, I don't know what the list is

1790
01:53:29.160 --> 01:53:31.920
for the level one or level two or level three,

1791
01:53:31.920 --> 01:53:35.000
but just kind of those things

1792
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:36.360
that you guys were just talking about

1793
01:53:36.360 --> 01:53:39.120
seems to be, you know,

1794
01:53:40.880 --> 01:53:42.520
tapping on my heart.

1795
01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:45.280
So I just, I was thinking,

1796
01:53:45.280 --> 01:53:46.600
oh, I'll jump in on the level three

1797
01:53:46.600 --> 01:53:48.080
because that's kind of me.

1798
01:53:48.080 --> 01:53:50.400
I thought, oh no, no, slow it down, girl.

1799
01:53:51.400 --> 01:53:53.320
Take a one step at a time.

1800
01:53:53.320 --> 01:53:54.160
Yeah, we just,

1801
01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:57.440
we get everyone to start at level one

1802
01:53:57.440 --> 01:54:00.920
because it's about, each level is 21 days

1803
01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:03.440
and it's about a 63 day.

1804
01:54:03.440 --> 01:54:05.880
A big part of it is about this,

1805
01:54:05.880 --> 01:54:10.000
each 21 days lays a neurological pathway

1806
01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:12.160
and three sets of 21 days

1807
01:54:12.160 --> 01:54:14.640
embeds really deeply a new,

1808
01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:16.240
a whole new neurological pathway.

1809
01:54:16.240 --> 01:54:20.440
So it's like, kind of like a 63 day journey.

1810
01:54:20.440 --> 01:54:21.280
Yeah.

1811
01:54:21.280 --> 01:54:23.040
And so I follow whatever,

1812
01:54:23.040 --> 01:54:26.280
and so I follow whatever list that is on the level one?

1813
01:54:26.280 --> 01:54:28.560
Yeah, so we, I'll,

1814
01:54:28.560 --> 01:54:29.760
if you watch your emails as well,

1815
01:54:29.760 --> 01:54:31.960
I'll send it out via the emails as well.

1816
01:54:31.960 --> 01:54:33.520
Tomorrow, I'll send a list like,

1817
01:54:33.520 --> 01:54:35.600
hey, who wants to start level one,

1818
01:54:35.600 --> 01:54:36.840
click here if you want to start,

1819
01:54:36.840 --> 01:54:39.640
if you want to carry on to level two, et cetera.

1820
01:54:39.640 --> 01:54:40.880
I'll send an email out tomorrow

1821
01:54:40.880 --> 01:54:44.160
for people just on how that works.

1822
01:54:44.160 --> 01:54:45.000
Okay, yeah.

1823
01:54:45.040 --> 01:54:48.320
And I joined the inner circle this mid part of this week.

1824
01:54:48.320 --> 01:54:52.160
So yeah, I'm excited about the bots.

1825
01:54:52.160 --> 01:54:53.000
Yeah.

1826
01:54:53.000 --> 01:54:53.880
That's what really got me hooked

1827
01:54:53.880 --> 01:54:55.600
was just hearing about those bots.

1828
01:54:55.600 --> 01:54:56.840
I'm like, ooh.

1829
01:54:56.840 --> 01:54:57.680
Yeah.

1830
01:54:57.680 --> 01:54:59.160
They're fun.

1831
01:54:59.160 --> 01:55:00.000
Yeah.

1832
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:02.560
I'm excited about that, the HyperVase.

1833
01:55:02.560 --> 01:55:04.640
I already have a Kegan water machine.

1834
01:55:04.640 --> 01:55:06.000
Oh, come on.

1835
01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:09.440
Yeah, and my daughter-in-law, she sells them.

1836
01:55:09.440 --> 01:55:10.320
Yeah.

1837
01:55:10.320 --> 01:55:13.320
So I didn't actually buy it from her.

1838
01:55:13.320 --> 01:55:15.680
I bought it like, I don't know,

1839
01:55:15.680 --> 01:55:17.560
a good seven, eight, nine years ago.

1840
01:55:17.560 --> 01:55:19.080
Oh, here's my Kegan water.

1841
01:55:19.080 --> 01:55:20.840
Doing this thing every day.

1842
01:55:20.840 --> 01:55:22.600
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

1843
01:55:22.600 --> 01:55:24.040
It does make your water snob.

1844
01:55:25.800 --> 01:55:28.880
I don't like anything else but Kegan water.

1845
01:55:28.920 --> 01:55:31.040
Yeah, there's a few people on this call

1846
01:55:31.040 --> 01:55:33.040
that will resonate with that.

1847
01:55:33.040 --> 01:55:33.880
Yeah.

1848
01:55:33.880 --> 01:55:35.680
Oh, so I'm from California.

1849
01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:37.440
I'm Southern California.

1850
01:55:37.440 --> 01:55:40.560
And I'm in Diamond Bar, if anybody knows where that's at.

1851
01:55:42.160 --> 01:55:47.160
I'm northwest of your friend, Seb.

1852
01:55:48.840 --> 01:55:49.680
Cool.

1853
01:55:49.680 --> 01:55:51.160
He's in San Diego.

1854
01:55:51.160 --> 01:55:52.000
Yeah.

1855
01:55:52.000 --> 01:55:55.480
So San Diego's further south than me,

1856
01:55:55.480 --> 01:55:58.800
but I'm a little more inland, so I'm northwest of him.

1857
01:55:59.760 --> 01:56:02.360
So anyway.

1858
01:56:02.360 --> 01:56:03.800
That's cool.

1859
01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:04.640
Yeah.

1860
01:56:04.640 --> 01:56:05.480
Love it.

1861
01:56:05.480 --> 01:56:07.960
Well, wonderful to meet you, Cindy,

1862
01:56:07.960 --> 01:56:10.200
and welcome to the Innisfree call.

1863
01:56:10.200 --> 01:56:12.680
Very excited about that.

1864
01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:13.720
Yeah.

1865
01:56:13.720 --> 01:56:14.640
Yeah, it's cool.

1866
01:56:14.640 --> 01:56:16.480
So yeah, I have to do my onboarding

1867
01:56:16.480 --> 01:56:18.200
and figure all that junk out.

1868
01:56:18.200 --> 01:56:19.880
There's so much material to go through.

1869
01:56:19.880 --> 01:56:21.560
It's kind of overwhelming.

1870
01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:22.400
We-

1871
01:56:22.400 --> 01:56:23.720
But I'll get through it.

1872
01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:24.560
Yeah, totally.

1873
01:56:24.560 --> 01:56:26.160
We just kind of recommend people on that journey

1874
01:56:26.160 --> 01:56:30.400
is that just take your time.

1875
01:56:30.400 --> 01:56:31.400
You know, just take your time.

1876
01:56:31.400 --> 01:56:34.040
Just little steps.

1877
01:56:34.040 --> 01:56:36.000
But I actually do recommend for everyone,

1878
01:56:36.000 --> 01:56:38.400
like the 21-Day Hard Things Challenge

1879
01:56:38.400 --> 01:56:39.560
is the place to start.

1880
01:56:42.160 --> 01:56:43.000
Oh.

1881
01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:44.000
Oh, on there you do?

1882
01:56:45.480 --> 01:56:48.520
Well, in general, that's where I recommend people.

1883
01:56:48.520 --> 01:56:49.360
Hey, if you want to,

1884
01:56:49.360 --> 01:56:51.440
like when you're starting a journey with raising royalty,

1885
01:56:51.440 --> 01:56:53.160
like the 21-Day Hard Things-

1886
01:56:54.160 --> 01:56:57.320
So am I in raising royalty?

1887
01:56:57.320 --> 01:56:59.480
That's the part I'm confused about that.

1888
01:56:59.480 --> 01:57:02.120
Yeah, like everything comes under the umbrella

1889
01:57:02.120 --> 01:57:03.680
of raising royalty that we do.

1890
01:57:04.920 --> 01:57:07.960
That's our company, or our ministry, or our movement.

1891
01:57:07.960 --> 01:57:10.280
So everything's under the umbrella of raising royalty.

1892
01:57:10.280 --> 01:57:11.960
So when you join the inner circle,

1893
01:57:11.960 --> 01:57:14.120
it's the raising royalty inner circle.

1894
01:57:14.120 --> 01:57:15.640
But we always recommend people,

1895
01:57:15.640 --> 01:57:17.160
hey, when you start out with us,

1896
01:57:17.160 --> 01:57:21.160
if you really want to catch the value of what God's doing,

1897
01:57:21.160 --> 01:57:24.080
start with the 21-Day Hard Things Challenge.

1898
01:57:24.080 --> 01:57:26.680
It was a big, it was a real,

1899
01:57:26.680 --> 01:57:30.080
like it took like 15 years of teaching to learn,

1900
01:57:30.080 --> 01:57:34.000
to realize that I have to shift from teaching to training.

1901
01:57:35.400 --> 01:57:38.600
You know, like I have to shift people's rhythm

1902
01:57:38.600 --> 01:57:41.920
in order to shift the soil so that the seed can grow,

1903
01:57:41.920 --> 01:57:44.320
because actually it's more about helping people

1904
01:57:44.320 --> 01:57:47.200
prepare the soil of their own heart,

1905
01:57:47.200 --> 01:57:51.480
because the seed of the divine life will flourish.

1906
01:57:51.480 --> 01:57:53.200
And it's actually less about the teaching

1907
01:57:53.200 --> 01:57:55.600
and more about people implementing a sacred rhythm.

1908
01:57:55.600 --> 01:57:58.560
You know, like if people can implement a sacred rhythm,

1909
01:57:58.560 --> 01:58:01.720
then like,

1910
01:58:04.200 --> 01:58:05.520
they don't need as much teaching

1911
01:58:05.520 --> 01:58:09.160
because the divine life is going to explode out of them.

1912
01:58:09.160 --> 01:58:11.120
So what is the soil supposed to be?

1913
01:58:11.960 --> 01:58:14.520
The soil is just connected to-

1914
01:58:14.520 --> 01:58:16.200
Like your mind, your thoughts or something?

1915
01:58:16.200 --> 01:58:18.920
Well, the soil is connected to the parable of the sower,

1916
01:58:18.920 --> 01:58:21.240
where Jesus goes out and he's sowing seed.

1917
01:58:21.240 --> 01:58:23.000
And, you know, the sower's sowing seed

1918
01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:27.440
and some lands on the rocky ground and birds take it.

1919
01:58:27.440 --> 01:58:30.960
Some land on the path,

1920
01:58:30.960 --> 01:58:34.120
the birds take that, some lands on the rocky soil.

1921
01:58:34.120 --> 01:58:35.160
The seed springs up,

1922
01:58:35.160 --> 01:58:36.800
but the sun comes out and scorches it.

1923
01:58:36.800 --> 01:58:38.880
Some lands where there's other weeds

1924
01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:42.120
and the weeds spring up and, you know, and crowd it out.

1925
01:58:42.120 --> 01:58:43.280
So it's going to be your thoughts,

1926
01:58:43.280 --> 01:58:45.560
but the soil means your thoughts maybe, is that?

1927
01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:50.120
Well, the soil is representative of your heart, of your life.

1928
01:58:50.120 --> 01:58:55.120
And when your life comes into order with sacred rhythms,

1929
01:58:55.480 --> 01:58:57.120
that's what the good soil is.

1930
01:58:57.120 --> 01:58:58.760
The good soil represents a life

1931
01:58:58.760 --> 01:59:01.840
that is in alignment with sacred rhythm.

1932
01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:05.480
And when a life is in alignment with sacred rhythm,

1933
01:59:05.480 --> 01:59:07.320
the divine life just happens.

1934
01:59:07.320 --> 01:59:08.680
It's like John 15,

1935
01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:10.760
abide in the vine and fruit happens.

1936
01:59:10.760 --> 01:59:13.240
Like if you take care of the soil,

1937
01:59:13.240 --> 01:59:14.920
the seed takes care of itself.

1938
01:59:14.920 --> 01:59:18.360
So the hard ground, the rocky ground,

1939
01:59:18.360 --> 01:59:20.560
the ground with weeds in it,

1940
01:59:20.560 --> 01:59:24.400
that all represents like a life out of alignment

1941
01:59:24.400 --> 01:59:25.520
with sacred rhythm.

1942
01:59:25.520 --> 01:59:27.480
It represents a life of dysfunction,

1943
01:59:27.480 --> 01:59:30.360
whereas the good soil represents shalom,

1944
01:59:30.360 --> 01:59:34.560
where everything's functioning according to divine design.

1945
01:59:34.560 --> 01:59:36.840
And you don't just get there by learning,

1946
01:59:36.840 --> 01:59:39.240
you get there through a sacred rhythm.

1947
01:59:39.240 --> 01:59:40.920
So that's what I'm saying,

1948
01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:43.840
is like the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge

1949
01:59:43.920 --> 01:59:47.200
is about helping people to actually come into alignment

1950
01:59:47.200 --> 01:59:49.280
with sacred rhythms in their life,

1951
01:59:49.280 --> 01:59:53.080
that when they start making these,

1952
01:59:54.560 --> 01:59:55.920
aligning with sacred rhythms,

1953
01:59:55.920 --> 01:59:58.240
it's like, oh sweet, I've got all this,

1954
01:59:58.240 --> 02:00:00.440
like the divine life just starts flourishing.

1955
02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:05.440
and thriving and the seed of the word of God and the seed of the divine life just start popping up.

1956
02:00:06.960 --> 02:00:15.760
Okay yeah if I can say something Benji. Yes please. I'll show my face I haven't had a

1957
02:00:16.640 --> 02:00:23.840
shower today but that's okay I look all right. I haven't showered for weeks. But over five years

1958
02:00:23.840 --> 02:00:28.800
ago just really quickly I had a vision of a mountain why I call it a maunga in our language

1959
02:00:28.800 --> 02:00:36.080
and I sense the Lord was asking his people to come up higher and I wasn't at the bottom of

1960
02:00:36.080 --> 02:00:40.720
the maunga although in other aspects of my life was I was in the middle of it because he showed

1961
02:00:40.720 --> 02:00:46.800
me these three levels but long story short I find with the with the 21 challenge what it did is that

1962
02:00:48.160 --> 02:00:54.640
it helped me to build such a rhythm that I was able to push higher and higher in a way that I've

1963
02:00:54.960 --> 02:01:01.920
always wanted to before but couldn't and even though as I'm tracking along

1964
02:01:02.880 --> 02:01:11.200
whether I go away for a weekend or skip a day or three or four here mainly that I'm noticing it's

1965
02:01:11.200 --> 02:01:20.000
happening more so because God is shifting me so fast that I have to keep readjusting.

1966
02:01:20.720 --> 02:01:26.880
That's what the challenge does is you have to keep readjusting because where you start in the

1967
02:01:26.880 --> 02:01:33.120
challenge and as you track along it's like you go into these multi-dimensional realms it's really

1968
02:01:33.120 --> 02:01:40.000
out of it and I can say training is a key word that you mentioned because I've had a lot of

1969
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:47.360
teaching all my life all my Christian life but training pushes you it pushes you higher in a

1970
02:01:47.360 --> 02:01:52.240
way that you probably wouldn't if you didn't have that that training so I was just going to add

1971
02:01:52.240 --> 02:01:59.280
over the last I think it was two weeks ago I have been networking more I have been I have been

1972
02:02:00.400 --> 02:02:05.200
going out to fellowship more than what I have I feel like I'm on a mission as a result of the 21

1973
02:02:05.200 --> 02:02:12.000
challenge so I said to God Eli I don't know if you can hear me but there's a verse in the bible

1974
02:02:12.000 --> 02:02:19.200
that says early will I seek thee and David of course and I realized if I don't do at least

1975
02:02:19.200 --> 02:02:25.440
half of my declarations challenges in the morning which is the readings the recording verses

1976
02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:30.480
the declarations and praying in the spirit if I don't do those four things in the morning it's

1977
02:02:30.480 --> 02:02:36.880
easier for me to get behind that's before I get up that's before I do anything and so I decided I was

1978
02:02:36.880 --> 02:02:44.240
meant to start it today but I'll start tomorrow again but honestly guys there's a pinnacle

1979
02:02:44.240 --> 02:02:51.280
that God wants us to reach and I'm the happiest like the past since I joined raising

1980
02:02:51.280 --> 02:02:56.560
wheels here I started free and I paid a $37 membership then I taught my cousin into paying

1981
02:02:56.560 --> 02:03:05.040
the premium membership and my life is it's changing all the time so much so that sometimes I drop off

1982
02:03:05.040 --> 02:03:11.920
the 21 challenge not because I can't be bothered more than my life is just changing at such a speed

1983
02:03:11.920 --> 02:03:19.200
and taking me into places I never even imagined I mean you know that that's what God wants but

1984
02:03:19.200 --> 02:03:27.280
it isn't actually a reality and so I just encourage you some you might I thought oh how can these

1985
02:03:27.280 --> 02:03:31.600
little things make a difference that ain't gonna do much but actually it's done heaps and that's

1986
02:03:31.600 --> 02:03:41.200
all I wanted to say I'm starting again tomorrow Benji great stuff that's beautiful love it Sharon

1987
02:03:41.200 --> 02:03:46.560
how you doing I'm good I'm just smiling here because that's my favorite hashtag little things

1988
02:03:46.560 --> 02:03:52.480
make a difference little things that make a difference I just want to check with you Benji

1989
02:03:52.480 --> 02:04:00.240
with the declarations I mainly read them sometimes I rewrite them so is this are we meant to be

1990
02:04:00.240 --> 02:04:10.240
rewriting them every day no no no no good I find well I actually had my my original list

1991
02:04:10.800 --> 02:04:16.640
but I keep adding to it all the time as I start dreaming new dreams and I've been adding to it so

1992
02:04:16.640 --> 02:04:23.120
much that I had to split it in half because my seven declarations became like 120 50 you know

1993
02:04:23.120 --> 02:04:27.680
that's like oh my gosh there's so many it was just like ah so I was like I split it in half you know

1994
02:04:28.640 --> 02:04:35.200
but I love it so even though I split it in half because there's so much I'm seeing those things

1995
02:04:35.200 --> 02:04:43.120
just come to fruition at such rapid speed it's crazy and I think that there's as well like a

1996
02:04:43.120 --> 02:04:48.080
tipping point after a while like you can be like making these declarations and not actually seeing

1997
02:04:48.080 --> 02:04:54.720
anything and then boom stuff just starts explosively happening so yeah yeah yeah that's great I have

1998
02:04:54.720 --> 02:04:59.920
been adding to mine I think you said something in the early stages about it didn't matter

1999
02:05:00.000 --> 02:05:02.560
or if it was just a sentence or whatever.

2000
02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:05.600
And so before, when I've done declarations,

2001
02:05:05.600 --> 02:05:09.720
I've found it really difficult to get precise.

2002
02:05:09.720 --> 02:05:13.640
But as I've been going, I go, no, that doesn't capture it.

2003
02:05:13.640 --> 02:05:16.200
And so it's easier to add to it.

2004
02:05:16.200 --> 02:05:19.280
But yeah, I don't feel so, well, I didn't feel guilty,

2005
02:05:19.280 --> 02:05:21.200
but yeah, I want to start level three,

2006
02:05:21.200 --> 02:05:25.480
make sure I'm doing it better if I'm meant to be writing it.

2007
02:05:25.480 --> 02:05:26.600
So great.

2008
02:05:26.600 --> 02:05:28.880
It is written out, just not repeated.

2009
02:05:28.920 --> 02:05:30.720
What I like about the declarations,

2010
02:05:30.720 --> 02:05:32.440
and this is one of the things that's like

2011
02:05:32.440 --> 02:05:35.520
the most juicy thing about the declarations is,

2012
02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:38.800
you have different moments where a dream

2013
02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:40.440
really comes to life for you.

2014
02:05:41.320 --> 02:05:43.240
And what I do is I take those moments

2015
02:05:43.240 --> 02:05:45.840
where a dream just fully comes alive,

2016
02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:47.960
and I'm like, whoa, I really see something

2017
02:05:47.960 --> 02:05:51.360
that's actually beyond what I've imagined before.

2018
02:05:51.360 --> 02:05:53.520
I'm like, whoa, imagine that.

2019
02:05:53.520 --> 02:05:56.520
And honestly, oftentimes,

2020
02:05:56.560 --> 02:05:58.920
I don't even believe it's possible at the time.

2021
02:06:00.920 --> 02:06:03.600
And it's like, this dream idea comes alive,

2022
02:06:03.600 --> 02:06:04.640
and I'm like, wow.

2023
02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:06.360
And then I grab it in that moment,

2024
02:06:06.360 --> 02:06:08.760
and I turn it into a declaration.

2025
02:06:08.760 --> 02:06:10.920
And I'll put it down as a declaration,

2026
02:06:10.920 --> 02:06:13.280
even if I don't even believe it's possible yet.

2027
02:06:14.640 --> 02:06:18.040
Because what happens is that's the very beginning place

2028
02:06:18.040 --> 02:06:20.440
that faith starts and activates.

2029
02:06:20.440 --> 02:06:24.400
And then what surprises me so much

2030
02:06:24.400 --> 02:06:27.240
is how quickly something that I didn't even believe

2031
02:06:27.240 --> 02:06:31.200
was possible starts coming alive around me.

2032
02:06:31.200 --> 02:06:33.520
And I'm like, whoa, are you serious?

2033
02:06:33.520 --> 02:06:34.960
This is actually happening.

2034
02:06:34.960 --> 02:06:38.040
And I'm like, huh, God, you're gonna have to,

2035
02:06:38.040 --> 02:06:39.880
I feel like one of the things God's now starting

2036
02:06:39.880 --> 02:06:43.560
to speak to me about is how to steward success.

2037
02:06:43.560 --> 02:06:45.880
Because I'm like, sometimes I find myself like shaking.

2038
02:06:45.880 --> 02:06:47.520
I'm like, whoa, this is happening.

2039
02:06:47.520 --> 02:06:51.640
I'm like, whoa, so yeah.

2040
02:06:51.640 --> 02:06:52.960
It's amazing, yeah.

2041
02:06:52.960 --> 02:06:55.040
From little things, big things grow too.

2042
02:06:56.480 --> 02:06:57.920
Awesome, thank you.

2043
02:06:57.920 --> 02:06:58.760
Welcome.

2044
02:07:00.280 --> 02:07:01.120
Cool, Finn.

2045
02:07:01.120 --> 02:07:02.400
Anyone else keen to share?

2046
02:07:02.400 --> 02:07:07.400
Helen, Ruggie, I see all of you, 20.

2047
02:07:07.440 --> 02:07:09.040
I'm not sure what your actual name is.

2048
02:07:09.040 --> 02:07:10.680
Stephen, anyone who's keen,

2049
02:07:10.680 --> 02:07:14.320
if anyone would like to share, add anything.

2050
02:07:14.320 --> 02:07:17.440
Otherwise, if no one's keen, we will wrap it up.

2051
02:07:18.200 --> 02:07:23.200
Yeah, thanks, Ella-Maine, it's been cool.

2052
02:07:23.200 --> 02:07:24.600
Yeah, Carolyn, jump in.

2053
02:07:25.800 --> 02:07:30.200
So can we just start again and just add on to like,

2054
02:07:30.200 --> 02:07:33.360
if I wanna do the phase two,

2055
02:07:34.440 --> 02:07:35.880
we're in the inner circle as well,

2056
02:07:35.880 --> 02:07:37.520
but we're not getting the paperwork through

2057
02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:39.120
for some reason at the moment.

2058
02:07:40.280 --> 02:07:45.240
But if I'm doing phase two, I can just start at any point.

2059
02:07:45.240 --> 02:07:46.080
Is that right?

2060
02:07:46.080 --> 02:07:48.080
Can I just start tomorrow or today?

2061
02:07:48.080 --> 02:07:49.680
Yeah, totally, totally.

2062
02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:51.320
You can do level one at any time,

2063
02:07:51.320 --> 02:07:53.800
you can do level two at any time.

2064
02:07:53.800 --> 02:07:58.240
It's just, I mean, yeah, so absolutely.

2065
02:07:58.240 --> 02:08:01.560
Okay, and then we just posted in that post

2066
02:08:01.560 --> 02:08:03.000
where you told us, and it doesn't matter

2067
02:08:03.000 --> 02:08:03.840
that it's running live.

2068
02:08:03.840 --> 02:08:06.840
So level two happens in the online

2069
02:08:06.840 --> 02:08:09.280
School of Sonship Facebook group.

2070
02:08:09.280 --> 02:08:12.720
So not in the Raising Royalty Facebook group.

2071
02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:14.960
Level two is in the Raising Royalty Facebook group,

2072
02:08:14.960 --> 02:08:18.000
and level three is in the Rite of Passage Facebook group.

2073
02:08:18.000 --> 02:08:21.280
So you should, you're in the inner circle,

2074
02:08:21.280 --> 02:08:22.120
you should have access

2075
02:08:22.120 --> 02:08:24.960
into the online School of Sonship as well.

2076
02:08:24.960 --> 02:08:25.800
So-

2077
02:08:25.800 --> 02:08:27.040
That's what I started with.

2078
02:08:27.040 --> 02:08:28.840
So I go and have a look on the online.

2079
02:08:28.840 --> 02:08:30.880
Jump in there, go to the guide section

2080
02:08:30.880 --> 02:08:33.520
and look at the Hard Things Challenge level two.

2081
02:08:33.520 --> 02:08:34.360
You'll find it all.

2082
02:08:34.360 --> 02:08:35.840
Perfect, thank you, Benji.

2083
02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:37.000
No worries.

2084
02:08:37.000 --> 02:08:37.840
Yeah, you're right though.

2085
02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:39.680
There is, you know, like you've got the platform,

2086
02:08:39.680 --> 02:08:41.280
we've got all these different Facebook groups

2087
02:08:41.280 --> 02:08:44.240
with the whole world to navigate, you know?

2088
02:08:44.400 --> 02:08:47.000
Especially for someone like Cindy,

2089
02:08:47.000 --> 02:08:48.880
like jumping into the inner circle, it's like,

2090
02:08:48.880 --> 02:08:51.560
okay, what have I just gotten into, got myself into?

2091
02:08:51.560 --> 02:08:53.680
Well, it is actually like a whole world.

2092
02:08:53.680 --> 02:08:58.400
There's so many different training series,

2093
02:08:58.400 --> 02:09:00.040
fun things, like you go onto the platform,

2094
02:09:00.040 --> 02:09:01.360
there's a whole bunch of just, you know,

2095
02:09:01.360 --> 02:09:03.560
like entertainment stuff, or there's the news,

2096
02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:06.360
or there's like all the coaching training,

2097
02:09:06.360 --> 02:09:07.840
there's the giant slayers,

2098
02:09:07.840 --> 02:09:11.080
there's the warrior activist course, you know?

2099
02:09:11.080 --> 02:09:13.160
Just like, oh my gosh, where to go?

2100
02:09:13.160 --> 02:09:14.000
There's so much.

2101
02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:16.280
But I always recommend 21 Day Hard Things

2102
02:09:16.280 --> 02:09:17.880
as the place to start.

2103
02:09:17.880 --> 02:09:20.440
Okay, thank you.

2104
02:09:20.440 --> 02:09:21.280
Welcome.

2105
02:09:23.560 --> 02:09:26.640
Sweet, then if there's, if that's it,

2106
02:09:26.640 --> 02:09:29.640
then we should get Ella-Mang to pray for us, to wrap it up.

2107
02:09:31.720 --> 02:09:32.800
Done.

2108
02:09:32.800 --> 02:09:34.360
Oh, kia ora, Benji.

2109
02:09:34.360 --> 02:09:37.000
Yes, I will pray for us,

2110
02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:38.720
and for those who have already gone.

2111
02:09:38.720 --> 02:09:40.520
Father, I just thank you so much

2112
02:09:40.520 --> 02:09:42.560
that we've been able to join together

2113
02:09:43.320 --> 02:09:46.400
and find some community within you,

2114
02:09:46.400 --> 02:09:47.560
and within your people.

2115
02:09:47.560 --> 02:09:50.000
And I just pray that those of us

2116
02:09:50.000 --> 02:09:54.840
who are about to embark on level one, two, or three,

2117
02:09:54.840 --> 02:09:57.200
that Father, we know you're leading,
