00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520
Hello, Marion and Rebecca and Susie.

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:03.440
Welcome.

3
00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:05.160
Good to see everyone.

4
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:07.840
How are you guys doing?

5
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:09.680
Congratulations to Susie for hitting

6
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:12.120
a thousand followers on TikTok.

7
00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:13.200
It's amazing.

8
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.040
So good.

9
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:19.960
And I'm surprised because of how simple they are.

10
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.160
Isn't that amazing?

11
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:25.320
I mean, half of it is just the ocean

12
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.400
with thank you superimposed on it.

13
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:31.440
Don't tell us your secrets.

14
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.120
That's, don't give away the secrets.

15
00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:35.920
I was going out and looking at the ocean

16
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.160
and finding it calmly and I thought calming.

17
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.240
I thought, oh, maybe somebody else would like to see this.

18
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.080
Oh my gosh.

19
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:43.920
That's awesome.

20
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:44.760
Really good.

21
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.520
All right.

22
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.480
I think we are live now.

23
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:55.440
Getting all the tech set up.

24
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.080
Anyone else have some wins that we can celebrate?

25
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.960
Can unmute yourself.

26
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.160
I'm getting a whole lot out of thinking

27
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:06.960
about the origin story.

28
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:08.080
Good.

29
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:09.800
How's it coming?

30
00:01:09.800 --> 00:01:12.400
I've written it three or four times.

31
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.360
Not even trying to pare it down.

32
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:16.040
New thoughts keep coming.

33
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.600
And so it's really neat.

34
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:21.360
I'm sure that's what you found too, is that, oh, yeah.

35
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:22.600
Yes, absolutely.

36
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:24.840
The whole exercise, it's not just the finished result

37
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.680
but it's the exercise of doing it

38
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.120
that brings a lot of clarity, a lot of focus

39
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.000
and some creative ideas because you're taking the time

40
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.800
to just dig out the treasure that's been there

41
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:36.920
that you sometimes just feel

42
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.360
but haven't quite yet articulated

43
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:42.320
or taking time to go back and record, you know,

44
00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:43.160
what has happened?

45
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:44.640
What is this journey that I've been on with the lore?

46
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:45.520
What was the breakthrough?

47
00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:46.920
What was the exchange?

48
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.040
What was the instead?

49
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.880
So I love that you're doing that.

50
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:51.520
I love that you're putting time into it.

51
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:52.360
Yeah.

52
00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:53.640
And I was just thinking like,

53
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.240
you came up with that origin story.

54
00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:57.720
I know you told the story like back in that event

55
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.760
but like, it's something that you've kept coming back to.

56
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.040
Like even last month when we did something

57
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.680
like you just had it ready to go.

58
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.560
And so like, it's worth putting together

59
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:07.840
because it's not gonna change.

60
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.600
It's not like your history is gonna change, right?

61
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:11.280
So you can use it for a very long time.

62
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.640
You may get, you know, slicker.

63
00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:15.880
The articulation of it evolves.

64
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:17.800
I find it's clearer and yeah.

65
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.280
Definitely a worthwhile investment.

66
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.120
So.

67
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:20.960
I don't know how to turn my.

68
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:21.800
That's me.

69
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:22.640
Yeah, sorry.

70
00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:23.560
Anyway.

71
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.840
So I have realized that until very recently

72
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.640
I trusted in the Lord with all my own understanding.

73
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.400
And you made a switch.

74
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:36.360
I made a switch.

75
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:39.840
That's awesome.

76
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:40.680
I love that.

77
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.520
Well, let's jump into it.

78
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.360
Yeah, let's jump into it.

79
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:43.200
Tamara, if you'd open this up and pray.

80
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:45.280
Sure, I would love to.

81
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.000
Father, we thank you so much for bringing us here today.

82
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.360
First, we just thank you for waking us up today, oh God.

83
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.640
Being with us throughout our entire day,

84
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.520
thus far leading us up to here where we come together,

85
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.200
Lord, to be edified, to be uplifted and encouraged

86
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:04.760
as well as equipped.

87
00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:08.880
So Holy Spirit, we welcome you into this session.

88
00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:10.480
Have your way.

89
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.840
We thank you, Lord, for both Bruce and Lindsay, Lord,

90
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.320
that you will continue to stir up the gifts in them

91
00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.640
as they pour into us.

92
00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:23.800
I thank you, God, for removing every hindrance,

93
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.840
every blockage that is coming in the way

94
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.560
of my fellow kingdom messengers, oh God,

95
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.720
that you would step in, oh God,

96
00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:34.520
and you would make the path straight

97
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.920
in the mighty name of Jesus.

98
00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:40.240
I thank you, God, that you will remove the blockages

99
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.200
of technical difficulties, oh God,

100
00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:45.320
any blockages in our spirits, oh God,

101
00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:48.720
where we're losing an idea or a concept, oh God,

102
00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:51.960
I come against that right now in the name of Jesus.

103
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.760
I thank you that we will have clarity of thought,

104
00:03:54.760 --> 00:03:57.120
clarity of vision, and Lord,

105
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.480
we will do this with joy and with ease.

106
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:03.840
And it's in Jesus' name we pray and give thanks, amen.

107
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.000
Amen.

108
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.600
Thank you so much.

109
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:08.440
Well, good to see you guys.

110
00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:12.000
Again, I'll just quickly mention some housekeeping stuff.

111
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.320
No masterclass this week.

112
00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:15.920
We are actually gonna be at a conference.

113
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.240
Lindsay's helping host the 100X Conference with Pedro Hideo

114
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.560
and some cool things.

115
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.400
I was still trying to figure out

116
00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:24.800
if there's a way that I can stream some,

117
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:25.960
especially the Graham session.

118
00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:26.800
We'll figure it out.

119
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.400
If there's anything we can share from that event

120
00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:31.760
with you guys, just you'll see it in Facebook.

121
00:04:31.760 --> 00:04:34.400
And then I know Graham Cook is speaking live there,

122
00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:35.240
which would be awesome.

123
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.000
He hasn't done a live in-person event in years.

124
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.480
So it's gonna be kind of cool.

125
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.280
Next week, we're coming back,

126
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:47.160
I think for an active campaign training.

127
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.040
So we're gonna dive into some of the lead,

128
00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:52.920
that's next Thursday, the 31st, we'll be doing that.

129
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.920
And we did a webinar last week, last Wednesday,

130
00:04:58.400 --> 00:04:59.920
which you guys probably.

131
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000
either saw on the Facebook community group,

132
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.120
or maybe you probably, hopefully didn't get any emails

133
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.800
because it's really for new people

134
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.800
who are thinking about joining membership.

135
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.040
So we're looking to bring hopefully another 15 to 20 people

136
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.640
in for April for the next group.

137
00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:16.080
So you maybe see some new faces.

138
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:17.440
And that'll be for,

139
00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.800
what's different about what you guys are in right now

140
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.620
is you're in the full year membership.

141
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:23.360
This will be a 90 day annual.

142
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.080
They'll be in for three months and then out

143
00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:25.920
unless they decide to renew.

144
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.720
Unless they decide to renew monthly,

145
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.800
but it's, we're not offering the annual right now.

146
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.520
So, yeah.

147
00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:33.720
No, you guys, anytime you guys see a deal,

148
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.120
it's rare that we ever make the deal better

149
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.560
than what you guys had.

150
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.260
So if you see a thing, you're like,

151
00:05:39.260 --> 00:05:41.160
you got it definitely the best.

152
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.720
And people like Monica, who have been here since January,

153
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.680
are really getting their money's worth

154
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.520
for being here for like two years.

155
00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:48.360
So it's awesome.

156
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.480
So try to make it easy.

157
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.640
So it's intentional.

158
00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:55.360
Sometimes the language and how we package it up

159
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.200
is a little different.

160
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.800
So don't feel like you guys are missing out on anything.

161
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.640
You're in, you have it all, everything that we've got.

162
00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:01.480
So, anyway.

163
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:02.300
If you ever have questions,

164
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:04.520
don't hesitate to reach out and ask for clarity.

165
00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:05.760
Cool.

166
00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:07.440
There's no one in the database today.

167
00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:10.440
So does, it's an open call, truly an open coaching call.

168
00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:12.280
Put your Zoom hand up and we can dive into it.

169
00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:13.100
Put your Zoom hand up,

170
00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:14.760
we can dive in any questions you have.

171
00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:15.600
Just gonna turn it.

172
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.800
Marian is always quick on the gun.

173
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.880
Hey, Marian, how are you?

174
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:21.840
I am good.

175
00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:24.560
I have the weirdest thing happen this week.

176
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.600
Two episodes I've put on Instagram and they're fine.

177
00:06:31.640 --> 00:06:34.500
But once you start them, the picture turns sideways.

178
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.720
I just put one on about half an hour ago

179
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.820
and it's sideways again.

180
00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:42.660
Yeah.

181
00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:45.280
I wonder if it's like when you recorded it,

182
00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:47.080
this has happened on the iPhone as well.

183
00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:49.560
I put it on TikTok and it's fine.

184
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.680
And it's fine on TikTok.

185
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.280
Sometimes like there's data in the videos where they,

186
00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:56.560
it can tell if the video should be flipped

187
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:57.640
one way or the other.

188
00:06:58.520 --> 00:06:59.360
I'm gonna pull up here.

189
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.640
I'm gonna pull it up so I can see what it,

190
00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:02.760
did you delete it or is it still up there?

191
00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:03.880
No, it's still up.

192
00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:05.520
Okay, let me pull up your account.

193
00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:06.520
Yeah.

194
00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.540
There's two, they're both sideways.

195
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.400
All right.

196
00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:11.560
A few days ago.

197
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:12.400
Yeah.

198
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.120
Instagram.

199
00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:17.620
Let's take a look.

200
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.720
So this one, oh, the real one.

201
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.160
And the one next to it.

202
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.560
So when you start playing it.

203
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.360
I don't see what's wrong with that.

204
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.320
You don't.

205
00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:35.720
So I think what it is is the whole video is that way.

206
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.720
It's not that it starts one way or another.

207
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.400
I think what you're seeing is the thumbnail.

208
00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:41.640
So like this thumbnail shown for a second

209
00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:43.000
and then it jumps to how the videos,

210
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.480
let's see if we can see that one's fine.

211
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.520
All the others are fine.

212
00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:49.800
I've never had one do that before.

213
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.560
That's very strange.

214
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.920
It was done on my phone.

215
00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:56.880
They're on the same phone and everything.

216
00:07:56.880 --> 00:07:59.520
But all the reels were done on my phone.

217
00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:02.600
If I do it on my computer and put it for reels,

218
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.040
it doesn't go in reels.

219
00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:05.800
Yeah.

220
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.960
I don't get the same views if it's not in reels.

221
00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:11.800
Right, yeah.

222
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.980
That's pretty, yeah, reels would definitely get more.

223
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:18.480
But I don't know, Monica, if you've seen that.

224
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.920
I know you're on an Android phone, is that right?

225
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.880
The funny thing is the first one, 656,

226
00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:28.680
on my phone, it's the right way up.

227
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.000
Okay.

228
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.880
And yet it's, what was on the phone

229
00:08:35.880 --> 00:08:38.039
is the same as what's on here.

230
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.600
Yeah, that's really strange.

231
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.440
And so it's not,

232
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.000
it's like, so if you played this video that you uploaded,

233
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.560
it is right side up.

234
00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:51.760
Hmm.

235
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.440
Because what I typically do when we're filming

236
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.320
is I lock the rotation.

237
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:00.560
I know it's hard to do it on an iPhone.

238
00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.960
I don't know how to do it on Android,

239
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.400
but you can, you know how you can turn it sideways

240
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:05.640
or up and down?

241
00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:08.280
I have it up and down, like vertically,

242
00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:09.960
and then I will lock the orientation.

243
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.960
So that way, no matter what happens,

244
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.620
it doesn't switch from that while we're recording.

245
00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:20.320
But it is strange that that happened.

246
00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:22.000
You didn't use a different app or anything?

247
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.680
It's the same like camera app on your phone?

248
00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:24.720
It's the same thing.

249
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.280
I have a little stand, I put it on,

250
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:29.640
and you switch it on,

251
00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:32.760
and it moves the phone to the right position.

252
00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:33.960
Okay.

253
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.800
But it's obviously the right way up

254
00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:38.160
because if it isn't, it'll tell me.

255
00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:39.960
Well, it's obvious.

256
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.320
Right, yeah.

257
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.720
I've seen this happen before with other people.

258
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.000
And interestingly enough,

259
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.960
after a few days, it would correct itself.

260
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.880
That explains why on the phone, it's okay.

261
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:55.720
Okay, then.

262
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.560
Cool.

263
00:09:56.560 --> 00:09:58.480
So patience and it will solve.

264
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:59.320
It's probably-

265
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.160
Okay, that will.

266
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.160
But the funny thing is I've got nearly a thousand views on the first one already, so

267
00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:13.600
it's not stopping people watching it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And here's what could be happening

268
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.160
is like on the computer, it may be looking that way. Maybe if I go to a phone and look at it,

269
00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:24.240
it may be different. Because on the phone, on the phone, the one I just did is the wrong.

270
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:31.840
It's sideways off an hour ago. So it's just very interesting. Yeah. We're pulling it up. But also

271
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.920
what's strange is like it could we're pulling it up on our phone as well. But I have seen that and

272
00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:47.360
it does seem that is definitely sideways. Well, we'll try it. Maybe check in a day or two and

273
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:52.240
just let us know what's what's happening. The other thing you could do is try to

274
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:57.360
delete it and just upload the exact same video again. I did it with the first one. I did it

275
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:02.640
three times. OK. And it didn't change. OK. It turned up the same way every time. I thought

276
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:09.760
it was because I put the all the words on. Oh, yeah. I was trying to correct the words because

277
00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:16.880
they were over. And it made the words go long and then I corrected that. And that's when it

278
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:24.160
went sideways. You could try to the video. So once you created it on TikTok, TikTok should

279
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:31.520
save a version of the finished video to your phone. You could, in this case, just to test it,

280
00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:37.120
upload the file that TikTok created and just upload that and still do your tagging and everything as

281
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.080
normal and just see if that fixes it. Because what's probably happening is there's something

282
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.520
off with that original file. So it could be throwing it off because if you upload it

283
00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:49.840
multiple times, still doing that could be and it could come right. If you've got two

284
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.600
that are broken, you could do that to one and leave the other one there and see what happens.

285
00:11:54.560 --> 00:12:00.320
OK. But I see I pulled it up on TikTok and it looks obviously it looks correct there.

286
00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:07.120
The second one doesn't know, does it? The one I just did. It looks correct.

287
00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:14.320
On TikTok? Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. On TikTok. They're all OK. Yeah. TikTok's all fine. So

288
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.240
if you took that file and just uploaded it, I wonder if the file that TikTok generates,

289
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:25.920
it may be corrected for that and just try it. OK. So it's very strange, though. Sorry you're

290
00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:30.640
having to deal with that. That's like a typical thing where it's like their platform is having

291
00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:38.240
a bug. And so we just have to kind of work around it. So it's only had like 600 views on the one

292
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.800
and 300 on the other. So you could delete it. And some of your videos are doing like three,

293
00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:49.760
you know, six thousand on reels here. So. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Bruce.

294
00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:54.640
One thing I just want to just while you have your stuff pulled up since you have so many views,

295
00:12:54.640 --> 00:13:00.160
but also you only have sixty six followers. So one thing you could try to do is.

296
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.120
At the end of your videos, do you say like, you know, follow or like like and follow for more

297
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.800
content like this or something like that? Just to. OK. Yeah, I would try to do that. You would

298
00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:20.720
word it. I know you've worded it a certain way. It's hard to fit all the words in.

299
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:26.240
It is. But you just say like, if this if this message was encouraging,

300
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.000
you know, follow me for more content like this. Yeah, it could be that very simple.

301
00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:34.320
It doesn't have to be too pushy, but because you're getting so many people watching your

302
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:40.240
stuff because people sometimes don't remember that to follow. OK, so I could see you getting

303
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:45.760
a lot more followers from your way. Yeah. Yeah. And try it and see. OK, thank you.

304
00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:54.160
Oh, can I ask one more question? You know, you talked about the origin story and how we could

305
00:13:54.160 --> 00:14:00.320
use it to advertise. How would you do that? Yes. Yes. I just said it would be a good ad.

306
00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:09.200
So what I would do is take your take your episode, take your take your story, record it,

307
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:15.440
and then you would actually post it to your Facebook page. And then you can take that page

308
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:21.120
that post and we can and we can basically set it up as the ad. Probably need to do like specific

309
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:26.000
training that. But there is some basic Facebook ads training, although a lot of it's changed.

310
00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:30.800
They've just no longer a ton of stuff with Facebook. So we actually have to update.

311
00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:36.560
You used to be able to target like people who like Graham Cook and then you could like show

312
00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:40.240
them a bit of people who like Graham Cook. You could like send them a video or put a video on

313
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.280
their feed, even if they weren't following you. Now, anything that's faith based or

314
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:50.720
specific interests and political interests or any of that has all been removed.

315
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.560
They've taken away all that targeting. You can't you can't target Christians

316
00:14:54.560 --> 00:14:58.480
basically is the problem. So it's it's very challenging when you're trying to

317
00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.840
reach a Christian audience, you kind of have to.

318
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.640
to a very broad there's so we probably will redo that I mean this is all very new that just yeah

319
00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:10.720
we'll either do that on the act maybe switch the active team that's actually more important okay

320
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:17.520
um but we'll put that on the list I'm gonna put it on yeah yeah okay thank you um good good catch

321
00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:22.720
though so the good news is that Bruce is right now enrolled in a coaching course specifically

322
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.800
for Facebook ads and um so he's learning all the new stuff so he will be teaching yeah it's

323
00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:33.440
unfortunately it's not easier yeah it's not easier but it's not something we can't overcome

324
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.920
it's not a thing to learn yeah and um we're running our own campaigns actually we started

325
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.080
some this afternoon for the webinar like the webinar we did so we're testing out some of the

326
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:47.280
newer strips the new stuff and the short version is you create a like a lookalike audience we look

327
00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:51.920
at everybody who's ever liked your Facebook page and then we tell Facebook to go find more people

328
00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:56.720
like those people so Facebook still knows that these people are Christians but they don't let

329
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:04.480
you run ad to that that group so you can still um so it's still still usable um but we can we'll

330
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.680
work around it guys it's such an exciting time to be alive because this is like this is the stuff

331
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:15.600
on the digital landscape that makes it feel like the wild west and we are pioneering and it was a

332
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.400
really great opportunity for Bruce and I and with some of our clients who are spending lots and lots

333
00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:25.680
of money on Facebook ads all of a sudden they felt like they had the wind knocked out of them because

334
00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:30.000
all that they had been doing had been taken away but it was a perfect opportunity to practice peace

335
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:39.360
and disempower frustration and um and do it in a way that speaks life into the land that we're

336
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:44.720
walking on and not speaks curses over the land that we're walking on so uh yeah yeah what you

337
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:55.280
said hey Amy I see your hand oh wait hold on you're muted just a second get you that

338
00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:01.680
um this is just a question that came up as you were talking but I do want to say this Miriam

339
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:09.839
every time you ask a question I learn something like I love your questions they just hit me right

340
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:17.359
between the eyes every time so and help you know make notes and so they're so helpful so anyway

341
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:23.839
but this is just like you all may have a pulse on this but one of those things was the the Bible

342
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:29.760
Gateway app that took the the Passion Translation off I mean I've been praying for the Simmons

343
00:17:29.760 --> 00:17:36.320
praying for that whole thing but um is there any progress on that being made that you know of

344
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:44.080
not that I know of I have lots of thoughts about it so do I I wasn't happy I wasn't happy about it

345
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:48.320
I do use Bible Gateway it's definitely an app that I recommend because it's just a very easy

346
00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:52.480
way to get across cross you know go across translations I have not heard any update on it

347
00:17:53.200 --> 00:18:01.520
I um yeah it's it's frustrating it's made me love the the Passion Translation all the more

348
00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:07.760
you know just all right you know I mean you know the it's just the enemy because it's just

349
00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:13.360
blessing so many people but it it forces them to get a hard copy where they can really see the

350
00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:21.200
amazing footnotes and I think it's going to also um we're not personally connected with Brian

351
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.120
Simmons but we have like mentors that are connected with him and I think it's going to

352
00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:32.000
spur some innovation for him and his team when it comes to um not necessarily having to rely

353
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:38.640
on other Bible study tools but maybe forming something of their own so uh well and um I do

354
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.000
like I got the Passion Translation on Kindle as well right yeah great and it's that's really nice

355
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:50.320
and if anybody uses Kindle but um that's that's what we use instead of being there but I I mean

356
00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:53.920
I know that I think Michelle might have been the one that shared something where you could like

357
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:58.480
reach out to Bible Gateway as far as like petition goes and just ask them so I did do that so

358
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:06.640
um I think that's on Michelle's Facebook page that link but you know it's it's it's an interesting

359
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.720
it's an interesting thing I and you know I understand the um the reasoning behind it but

360
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.720
I think more and more like I said I think it's going to give way for some innovation for these

361
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:25.440
different organizations and teams to really think through not just relying on somebody else's

362
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.000
platform but what can I do to leverage the digital landscape with my own tech and tools

363
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.000
um I hate that it happened I hate that it's bringing division but I personally love the

364
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.440
Passion Translation and what I love about the way that Brian had presented it is that in his

365
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.960
footnotes he's very clear about why he chooses to use why he trans why he chooses to translate

366
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:51.040
certain things so even if you disagree with the way that it's like he translated it at least you

367
00:19:51.040 --> 00:19:57.120
know where he's coming from so I don't think it's a sloppy uh I don't think he did a sloppy job

368
00:19:57.120 --> 00:19:59.840
I think he's a Bible scholar and I think he was did a very

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.480
throw a job in his translation and then sharing his point of view.

370
00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:11.220
So I think that it, we as believers, uh, what I would love is for us to

371
00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:15.000
trust the spirit in each other and trust each other to enough to be able

372
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.120
to read certain translations, even if we disagree and be able to like go

373
00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:24.600
back and do some of our own study and not just rely on another scholar.

374
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.860
Um, so I hate that sometimes people feel like they have to police that for us.

375
00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:34.160
So yeah, am I talking too much?

376
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:35.680
I'm really trying to keep it in.

377
00:20:38.840 --> 00:20:40.160
I knew you would have thoughts.

378
00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:40.920
Yeah.

379
00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:41.520
Yeah.

380
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:44.440
That's my, that's my personal, if anyone's wondering like, what do I, where

381
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.960
do I stay on the passion translation?

382
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:47.280
I really enjoy it.

383
00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:50.800
And I feel like he does a really good job of explaining where he's coming from.

384
00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:54.280
So even if you disagree with the way he's translated, you can at

385
00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:55.320
least know where he's coming from.

386
00:20:55.320 --> 00:20:57.000
You're not having to like guess.

387
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.040
Um, so that's what I I've always enjoyed about his stuff.

388
00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:01.840
Awesome.

389
00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:06.080
Um, I see Denise has her hand.

390
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:10.520
And I'll quick question here from Rebecca, as far as like the Facebook, we'll

391
00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:14.080
definitely go through this on like a new training for this, but even if you don't

392
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:18.520
have people following you on your page, we can still get new audiences created.

393
00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:22.680
Um, and part of that will be looking at things like you can, you can create

394
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.880
an audience for people who have watched more than half of your videos.

395
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.840
So if you have like a five minute video of people watching two and a half minutes

396
00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:31.760
of that, there's a good chance they actually know what you're talking about,

397
00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:34.480
that they're a believer there's, you know, they're probably a good fit.

398
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:39.440
So we will use, we'll help you create audiences based on people who are

399
00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:40.840
currently consuming your content.

400
00:21:40.840 --> 00:21:43.240
Even if they aren't following you, we can still target that.

401
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.920
And that is why consistency is so important guys with getting out our.

402
00:21:47.280 --> 00:21:54.480
Content regularly, because there's data that's being, uh, gathered when people

403
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.520
are watching your content that you can use for ads later.

404
00:21:56.560 --> 00:21:58.200
So keep posting.

405
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.240
Hey, Denise, I see your hand.

406
00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:02.760
Hi there, everybody.

407
00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:04.120
It's good to see everyone.

408
00:22:04.520 --> 00:22:10.400
Um, yeah, what you said, Lindsay, just now I, um, about, I think you can get

409
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.080
the passion on the U version.

410
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.680
I'm not sure you can, but that's, thank you for reminding me.

411
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.160
You can get the passion on your version.

412
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.680
They don't have, at least on the app.

413
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.280
They don't, I should check the website.

414
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.000
I don't see the footnotes, which is what I loved about gateway is

415
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.760
because they had all of his footnotes in there, but you can still get, you

416
00:22:25.760 --> 00:22:27.360
still read it and get the translation.

417
00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:28.800
So, yeah, right.

418
00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:31.920
And I was wondering if you could put a link for the origin story.

419
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.040
I think I missed that.

420
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.760
Um, the, the training for the origin story.

421
00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:38.760
Yeah, it was a masterclass that we did two Thursdays ago.

422
00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:40.400
So we'll drop that link.

423
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:46.320
I, um, and if I can't make the Thursday masterclasses, can I, they're, they're

424
00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:47.080
posted, right?

425
00:22:47.080 --> 00:22:47.760
All recorded.

426
00:22:47.760 --> 00:22:48.000
Yeah.

427
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.440
And they'll be on kingdom messenger TV.

428
00:22:50.120 --> 00:22:55.200
I'm going to send you the link to the, um, to it on Facebook, but I think we're

429
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.640
editing it and it's getting up to king master TV as well, but typically all of

430
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.200
those will be, will be there as well.

431
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:03.760
Okay.

432
00:23:03.760 --> 00:23:11.160
And, um, yeah, in terms of what you said, Lindsay, about, um, Consistency, I, I've

433
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.520
been doing everything consistently, but I missed last week and, um, I've just

434
00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:17.640
been crazed life crazy.

435
00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:22.800
And so I'm on a sabbatical, I'm on a four week sabbatical from work right now.

436
00:23:22.800 --> 00:23:26.320
And so I am actually really listening to the Lord about how to flow the content of

437
00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:26.600
this.

438
00:23:26.600 --> 00:23:29.120
And a lot of the stuff that you've been saying has been coming back to me.

439
00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:34.880
Like, um, the Lord gave me this visual of, you know, it's like you're Robin laying

440
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.800
eggs and sometimes the eggs will hatch in different times and you have to tend to

441
00:23:38.800 --> 00:23:38.960
them.

442
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:43.240
And he's saying, you know, for you, it's like the podcast and your poetry is kind

443
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:47.600
of upfront right now that's hatching, but you got to sit on and rest with the rest

444
00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:48.920
of it and let it germinate.

445
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.440
And so that's what you were saying that there's just one level of germination.

446
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.200
There's just one level of activity and that's, what's been so hard with, um, the

447
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.720
content.

448
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:03.960
And I feel like because of that, the content gets me backed up and I take too

449
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.720
much time on it.

450
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.280
So then I don't have time to spend on the technical and I'm way behind on the

451
00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:07.880
technical.

452
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:13.000
So, um, I'm, I think God will give me some good stuff for flowing this week.

453
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.600
He's already done that, just how to do that.

454
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:20.960
But if you have any tips on, um, I mean, I do have, my friends are saying, I run

455
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.720
into people in my circle group that say, oh, I'm listening to your podcast every

456
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.120
week.

457
00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:28.960
And my husband's listening to it and he likes it because he hasn't known how to

458
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.960
really hear the Lord.

459
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.920
And it's really slowing it down for him to really learn how to listen.

460
00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:36.640
And so I'm getting good feedback, but I don't know what my numbers are.

461
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:38.520
I haven't even had time to look.

462
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:45.120
So in terms of, um, I know the next step would be to just follow your protocol,

463
00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:49.760
you know, the next thing, get it on video, which we still haven't done then the

464
00:24:49.760 --> 00:24:54.280
tick tocks and all of that, but I'm just a wrestling with content.

465
00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:59.400
And so if you have anything around that, just, um, I mean, I've got too much is

466
00:24:59.400 --> 00:24:59.920
what the problem.

467
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.220
this and I spend hours editing it down.

468
00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:04.060
Yeah.

469
00:25:04.060 --> 00:25:04.880
So.

470
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.460
I think that the best advice that I could give

471
00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:08.760
is the one that I follow myself,

472
00:25:08.760 --> 00:25:11.540
which is one full creative rep at a time,

473
00:25:11.540 --> 00:25:15.180
meaning, you know, producing the episode,

474
00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:16.680
writing it, producing it,

475
00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:19.620
publishing it and then promoting it.

476
00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:22.180
So treating kind of each episode

477
00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:24.380
as its own creative cycle,

478
00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:26.140
its own creative rep,

479
00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:28.900
because I'm someone who could just get stuck

480
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.280
in the content creation side,

481
00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:33.760
but never fully produce an entire episode.

482
00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:35.800
And so I miss out on building the muscle

483
00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:37.840
on the second half of the process.

484
00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.760
If I don't take,

485
00:25:38.760 --> 00:25:40.640
if I don't like stop the content creation

486
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.400
for just a second and like record, edit, post,

487
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.760
you know, and then like promote it

488
00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:49.160
as far as like getting it up there

489
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:50.320
and getting it optimized.

490
00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:53.700
So even if it takes you longer,

491
00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.560
like say it takes you two weeks

492
00:25:55.560 --> 00:25:57.060
to get the full episode out,

493
00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:59.200
but you're getting one full rotation done.

494
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.000
I think that's worth it

495
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.340
than having all these episodes written,

496
00:26:03.340 --> 00:26:06.440
but not fully produced or published.

497
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.320
And as long as it takes for you to feel a rhythm in that,

498
00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:13.980
you can take and then add things like video.

499
00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:16.980
And you know, you don't have to feel like pressure

500
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.220
if you're still feel like you're having a,

501
00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:24.560
getting a mastery of just getting that full rotation done.

502
00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:26.160
Yeah. It's, it's kind of like,

503
00:26:27.800 --> 00:26:29.320
like we say, getting the reps in,

504
00:26:29.320 --> 00:26:30.560
but instead of like,

505
00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:31.380
if you're going to the gym

506
00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:34.040
and you're just working out your arms every single day,

507
00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:36.560
like it's getting the full body workout.

508
00:26:36.560 --> 00:26:39.240
So it's going, so try to just be really disciplined.

509
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:40.120
Cause this is the same thing.

510
00:26:40.120 --> 00:26:42.380
I have the exact opposite problem.

511
00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:44.960
I will spend like five minutes on content

512
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.080
and then spend 95% of my time,

513
00:26:47.080 --> 00:26:49.240
like working, worrying about the colors

514
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:50.840
and the lighting and the sound and everything.

515
00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:52.560
And then I'll like get ready to record.

516
00:26:52.560 --> 00:26:54.080
And we're like, I don't even have anything to say.

517
00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:59.600
So I make at a point to make notes or write in such a way

518
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:02.880
where the technology is removed from it essentially.

519
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.120
So a whiteboard, you know, notebook, whatever,

520
00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:08.200
because I basically remove the technology

521
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.260
completely out of the conversation.

522
00:27:10.260 --> 00:27:12.400
And so it's just a matter of practicing.

523
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.300
It's like getting the thing close enough for the content.

524
00:27:15.300 --> 00:27:17.040
Like don't, for example,

525
00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:19.280
you wouldn't want to write four or five episodes

526
00:27:19.280 --> 00:27:21.960
into the future if you haven't recorded the first episode.

527
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.800
So like write one or two, record one or two,

528
00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:28.080
kind of keep the production element of it

529
00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:31.160
in line with the content creation portion.

530
00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:35.440
So anyway, hopefully that helps, but.

531
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.900
It's just kind of exercising different muscles

532
00:27:38.900 --> 00:27:39.740
is all of this.

533
00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:42.000
So don't feel like you're behind in one or the other.

534
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.880
It's more important than just the full rotation

535
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.040
to keep doing that over and over again,

536
00:27:47.040 --> 00:27:48.720
as much time as it takes you.

537
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.320
Cause eventually you're going to get stronger and stronger

538
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.520
and it's going to take less time to get those, you know,

539
00:27:53.520 --> 00:27:56.700
whatever you feel like is the stuckness.

540
00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.540
Okay.

541
00:27:57.540 --> 00:27:59.840
Some of it's tech for some, some of it's content for other,

542
00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:02.440
that will be released the more that we like continue

543
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:05.600
to walk through that path.

544
00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:07.400
Cause we got to clear the brush, clear the brush.

545
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.800
So I'm very proud of you for what you've accomplished

546
00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:13.400
in the middle of what it sounds like a really crazy life.

547
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.440
You are doing the podcast.

548
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:15.280
So let's not look at that.

549
00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:16.120
That's huge.

550
00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:17.720
A few months ago, I don't think you had posted anything.

551
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.960
Yeah, I mean like that's, yeah, don't.

552
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.840
Right.

553
00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:23.520
So praise God, I've got seven up and I, yeah, you're right.

554
00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:25.120
I just got the Holy spirit.

555
00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:26.400
I think I do get too far ahead.

556
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.320
Cause I think, well, I have to know where I'm going,

557
00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:30.080
but the Holy spirit will give you what you need to say

558
00:28:30.080 --> 00:28:31.200
in the moment you need to say it.

559
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.760
So I think I just need to focus on one episode,

560
00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:35.280
like you said, and I was doing that,

561
00:28:35.280 --> 00:28:36.800
but the weekly rhythm was too much.

562
00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:39.520
So I think if I go to every other week for a while,

563
00:28:39.520 --> 00:28:42.640
then maybe up it to every week later, that might help.

564
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:44.320
I've been doing every week for seven weeks,

565
00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:45.840
but I did mention in my last podcast,

566
00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:48.040
I might go back to every other week,

567
00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:50.800
especially during the sabbatical.

568
00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:53.160
And how, whatever, you know, your wiring best.

569
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.640
So like for my wiring, I know that if I move things out

570
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.280
to like every two weeks,

571
00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:01.920
then I'm going to wait until the very end

572
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:06.520
of that second week, but not everyone works like me.

573
00:29:06.520 --> 00:29:08.200
So if that's something that, you know, like, Hey,

574
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.080
if I have two weeks, I know I can schedule out

575
00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:12.240
my next two weeks and be very consistent.

576
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.160
That's great.

577
00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:16.840
For me, it's like, I have to stay on a weekly with the,

578
00:29:16.840 --> 00:29:18.640
you know, like right now I'm in a two week break

579
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.840
because I'm getting ready to start a new season,

580
00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:24.640
but that's just how I'm, I'm working on it,

581
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.640
but I kind of save things till the end.

582
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:30.080
I get it.

583
00:29:30.080 --> 00:29:33.240
Okay, thank you for, it's been very, very helpful.

584
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.160
That's excellent.

585
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.800
Hey, I see Holly's raising her physical hand.

586
00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:40.240
She's raising her physical hand.

587
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.080
Thank you.

588
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:43.600
I still don't have a hand on the bottom of my Zoom screen.

589
00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:44.960
So I don't know.

590
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.000
Sometimes you have to like scroll to the right.

591
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.840
Like there's a little arrow.

592
00:29:47.840 --> 00:29:48.680
Oh, it's like missing.

593
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:50.120
Like if you like make your window.

594
00:29:50.120 --> 00:29:50.960
Really?

595
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:51.960
I can't show you because it doesn't let you share

596
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.800
our Zoom screen.

597
00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:54.120
There's like more there.

598
00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:55.720
There may be like a more button.

599
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.160
You can click on that.

600
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:58.000
Oh, just kidding.

601
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.120
No, that's not it.

602
00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.960
Mine here.

603
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:08.800
Yeah, reactions. It's on reactions. Oh, really? Oh, there it is. Okay, that's helpful.

604
00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:12.400
So you already learned something new. I learned something. Okay, so next question.

605
00:30:13.840 --> 00:30:19.200
I have been doing my episodes every other week, and it seems to work. It's not as overwhelming.

606
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:23.600
So it's fine. Although I missed a few weeks because we had a interesting turn of events.

607
00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:29.200
Our in-laws moved in with us right after Christmas. So wow, things kind of went a

608
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:35.360
different turn. But I wanted to ask about the origin story also. I just listened to that one,

609
00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:41.840
and I really resonated, Lindsay, with you when you said you had it kind of in your heart. It

610
00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:47.120
was deep within you. And when you tried to explain it, it would just come out like too much. That's

611
00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:54.960
where I am. And I feel like I haven't been able to articulate it and explain the way that I feel it.

612
00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:01.520
And so people just look at me. It's just too much. And so this has been a really good exercise.

613
00:31:01.520 --> 00:31:07.200
I'm on just the character right now, trying to develop the character. And I'm not really sure.

614
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:13.520
I could go so many different ways with my story. Because I mean, like all of us, we've all had a

615
00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:22.160
lot of things in our story. So I'm not really sure which route to take. Because the reason,

616
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:27.280
the why behind what I'm doing, there's a bunch of different pieces to it. There's a,

617
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:35.120
I had a physical issue. I was diagnosed with a low thyroid that doctors couldn't fix and

618
00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:41.280
medication didn't work. And I ended up going to this lady that was a holistic practitioner who was

619
00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:45.360
kind of quirky, but she fixed the problem and found out it was something completely different.

620
00:31:45.360 --> 00:31:51.200
And she fixed it through energy treatment, which is what I ended up doing. So that was my

621
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:54.720
initiation into that world. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't know if this was

622
00:31:54.720 --> 00:32:01.280
witchcraft or what it was. But that's not really why I'm doing it. It was just kind

623
00:32:01.280 --> 00:32:10.720
of how I found out about it. The why has to do with my background in counseling and working with

624
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:18.160
a lot of Christians who were majorly traumatized and been through some really difficult things.

625
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.800
And they were not able, no matter what they did, no matter how much they got prayer, no matter

626
00:32:22.800 --> 00:32:27.520
how much they got inner healing, no matter how many people prayed for them and anointed them

627
00:32:27.520 --> 00:32:33.200
and delivered all of that, they could not get free from this stuff. And so I began to feel

628
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.280
just dissatisfied with that. Like, why is it so hard for people to get free when Jesus already

629
00:32:39.280 --> 00:32:45.040
did the work to set us free? Why aren't they free? And so that was one why, but then the other why

630
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.640
had to do with a couple of encounters and stuff that I had with the Lord. So I have all these

631
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.840
three different pieces, but then it's too much if I explain all that.

632
00:32:54.560 --> 00:32:59.120
Well, the first two, I feel like are similar because it's the same problem. And that was,

633
00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:07.120
I wasn't free and I tried all the things, medication, doctors, testing, and nothing

634
00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:13.520
worked, prayer, whatever it is, and nothing worked. And there was this frustration of knowing

635
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:18.800
I'm free in Christ, but not experiencing the freedom. So that's who you're helping. That's

636
00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:23.760
who you used to be. Right. Yeah. And so I think that's the beginning and that's the character,

637
00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:27.760
the character you can use. I think it's always good if you can use you as the character,

638
00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:32.240
because again, this is allowing people the dignity to self-identify and you're,

639
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:38.320
you're the one who's willing to share the story honestly and say, Hey, I don't know about you,

640
00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:42.240
but this is where I was. And then people say me too. And you've already, you've already built

641
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.960
credibility with them in a very quick way. Cause you're not who they are, but you're who they want

642
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:51.920
to be, which is healed and free. And so they're like, yeah, like she gets it. She's been where

643
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:56.480
I've been and she's no longer there. So it's a really quick way to build credibility when you

644
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:03.040
can, if you're the, if you're who you're, who used to be. And remember it as a story. So if people,

645
00:34:03.040 --> 00:34:07.040
if you start with something like, Oh, this is, this is where it was that I was struggling with

646
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:14.239
people intuitively, just there's this desire to see, Oh, cool. So she's no, there's no reason

647
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.440
she's telling me this to make it go from like bad to worse, right? Like a story is going to be like,

648
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.199
here's where I was and like, okay, cool. I want to wait till the end to see where she is now.

649
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.400
Like I need to see where she's today. So it is a, I think there is that kind of, there's hope that's

650
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.920
coming at the end of this thing. So I think the more you can relate and be authentic in the

651
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.400
beginning, share where you are in a simplified way where people, a lot of people can identify

652
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.800
with that. Yeah. I think we'll work really well. And that's, this is why the origin stories are

653
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.360
such powerful ads as well, because of this thing, because it takes someone who doesn't know you at

654
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:50.719
all and kind of gets them up to speed of like, what's unique about you as a, as a mess, kingdom

655
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:58.320
messenger. Yeah. So what about sharing like the encounters and visions that we've had? Like,

656
00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:59.760
is that important part of the story?

657
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.680
Is that too much?

658
00:35:00.680 --> 00:35:02.440
Probably not for the 60 second.

659
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:06.240
So this is, you know, you have the 60 second version, which is kind of the big

660
00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:10.600
idea and it's, you know, not as much, then you've got like a three to 10 minute

661
00:35:10.600 --> 00:35:13.400
version, like, Hey, if I was having coffee with someone, or if I was at dinner with

662
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.880
someone and we had an extra 10 minutes, I could share a little bit about this.

663
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.680
And then you can move into a full-blown presentation.

664
00:35:19.680 --> 00:35:23.040
I have someone for 30 minutes or someone for an hour listening.

665
00:35:23.040 --> 00:35:27.240
And you can include all of those weave in all of those stories, but probably

666
00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:28.760
not necessary for the 60 seconds.

667
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:29.600
Okay.

668
00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:30.480
Yeah.

669
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:31.280
Yeah.

670
00:35:31.560 --> 00:35:36.360
Cause what you want people to be able to do in the 60 seconds is identify and then

671
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:40.680
want to hear more so that they do hear the, you know, three to 10 minute

672
00:35:40.680 --> 00:35:42.320
version or the full presentation.

673
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:43.440
So, yeah.

674
00:35:45.040 --> 00:35:45.480
Okay.

675
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.480
It's challenging to condense it all into that short amount of time.

676
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:51.200
I know.

677
00:35:51.200 --> 00:35:52.520
I mean, this is the editing process.

678
00:35:52.520 --> 00:35:56.360
It's brutal because there's, there's, you know, I'm, I I'm a wordsmith.

679
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.880
I love to, I love turn a phrase.

680
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:00.040
I love language.

681
00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:02.760
And, you know, when that editing process, I just have to cut things

682
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:04.280
out that I'd like want to marry.

683
00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:07.640
Like, I don't want to ever break up with these, but that's the beauty

684
00:36:07.640 --> 00:36:11.360
of being able to come back and do a little bit of a longer presentation.

685
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.320
Like I talk about how my origin story became my first episode, which

686
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.440
I think was around five minutes.

687
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.120
And then also a full-blown presentation.

688
00:36:18.120 --> 00:36:20.760
You know, I I've taught sermons on this and everything like that.

689
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:21.920
So I have more time.

690
00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:23.600
So you can always bring it back in.

691
00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:26.840
It's not a forever breakup, but for this 60 seconds, you're doing

692
00:36:27.640 --> 00:36:31.400
the heavy lifting and the brutal work of cutting back in order to get to the

693
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.720
very essence of serving someone that they can see themselves in your story.

694
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.240
And then, and then want to hear more about how do I get that breakthrough?

695
00:36:40.600 --> 00:36:40.920
Okay.

696
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:41.800
Yeah.

697
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:42.760
Okay.

698
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.280
Thank you.

699
00:36:43.600 --> 00:36:44.640
Yeah, absolutely.

700
00:36:45.040 --> 00:36:47.360
I'd love to share just a little bit too about this because I was having

701
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:50.040
a conversation with a friend, Ashley Nicole, who's actually in this group.

702
00:36:50.040 --> 00:36:52.840
But unfortunately because of her scheduling right now, she's not able to

703
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:56.080
be in a lot of our live coaching calls, but hopefully that'll change soon.

704
00:36:56.080 --> 00:37:00.800
But she carries a real revelation of like living in rest.

705
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.960
And, um, you know, I was talking to her recently about I we've been, we've

706
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:09.520
been in a three week stint of a lot of output, so we've done webinars.

707
00:37:09.520 --> 00:37:11.080
We've done trainings with other groups.

708
00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:13.160
We're on our coaching calls with you guys every week.

709
00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:17.120
We've done extra masterclasses and I'm getting ready to host this like

710
00:37:17.120 --> 00:37:18.680
three-day conference in California.

711
00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:22.320
And I'm feeling it and it's not bad.

712
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:23.360
It's not stressed.

713
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:29.320
It's not pressure, but it feels, um, I just feel, I feel exposed, right?

714
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.880
And this is what happens when you're a speaker, when you're a communicator,

715
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:35.280
when you're a teacher, when you're a leader is you are opening up yourself

716
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:39.800
to people every time you get on the screen or get on a stage and start to

717
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:45.240
share from, from the depths of who you are, it feels exposing, right?

718
00:37:45.560 --> 00:37:50.240
But what Ashley helped me kind of identify was this is, this is vulnerability.

719
00:37:50.720 --> 00:37:52.760
This is what it feels like.

720
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.440
And so you guys might be feeling this in your process as you, especially as you

721
00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:59.600
share your origin stories, cause it's, it gets very personal, right?

722
00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:01.080
This is your history with the Lord.

723
00:38:01.080 --> 00:38:02.040
This is your journey.

724
00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:06.800
This is your breakthrough, which requires sharing a little bit of, you know, where

725
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.800
you were stuck, where you were broken before you experienced that freedom and

726
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.360
wholeness, but the gift of vulnerability in the kingdom is it's not like

727
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:19.640
vulnerability in the world that is either perceived as weakness or opens

728
00:38:19.640 --> 00:38:24.400
us up to, I guess, exposure is a word, but opens us up to things that we

729
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:25.480
don't want to be opened up to.

730
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:25.800
Right.

731
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.680
So there's a lot of studies and vulnerability in the world.

732
00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:31.920
And, you know, of course the world is catching on to a lot of biblical

733
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.360
truth, but we have to think of this through the lens of not what the

734
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.840
world is coming up with, but the kingdom.

735
00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:41.560
And what Jesus did is he became vulnerable on our behalf.

736
00:38:42.120 --> 00:38:45.120
He was in full authority and full power.

737
00:38:45.120 --> 00:38:50.360
And he laid down his life in order for us to share in his victory

738
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.240
of death and resurrection.

739
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.240
And as people who are, you know, as he is, so are we in the world.

740
00:38:57.240 --> 00:38:58.440
We're one with Jesus.

741
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:03.240
This is what we do for people is, you know, thankfully, I don't

742
00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:06.280
think anyone on this call, hopefully we'll ever have to experience the

743
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.680
brutality of the crucifixion of Christ.

744
00:39:08.680 --> 00:39:12.440
But there is a crucifixion that happens in our lives when we follow Christ.

745
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.200
And that is, we laid down our life for the sake of others.

746
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.560
And I know that it might seem for some of you, it seems like, well, that

747
00:39:18.560 --> 00:39:21.480
seems really trivial to compare what we're going through to the crucifixion

748
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:26.640
of Christ, but for many of us, it feels crucifying, right?

749
00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:32.840
It feels like a death to open ourselves up, to share our lives, share our

750
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.120
stories, share our, the vulnerable pieces of our stories, share the

751
00:39:36.120 --> 00:39:41.480
vulnerable pieces of our life with Jesus so that others can experience

752
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:45.200
the same transformation we have, the same healing, the same

753
00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:47.800
freedom from our breakthrough.

754
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:49.040
This is the power of testimony.

755
00:39:49.080 --> 00:39:56.600
So it's given me a lot of renewed, a renewed sense of purpose and a renewed

756
00:39:56.600 --> 00:40:00.000
sense of this is actually what it is when I'm getting on stage.

757
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.360
age or when I'm opening, you know, doing another episode or

758
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:06.160
getting on a coaching call with you guys and like sharing and

759
00:40:06.160 --> 00:40:09.760
talking is we're, we're, we're laying down our lives for the

760
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.560
sake of someone else. And you guys are doing this for your

761
00:40:12.560 --> 00:40:20.440
who, right. And the beauty is it's not a waste. It's not a

762
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.800
waste, not none of the, even what's happening behind closed

763
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:26.560
doors, cause it's vulnerable in that state as well. You know,

764
00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:29.960
all of the, all of the creative process and the hard work and

765
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:33.400
the digging up and the prayer and the preparation, like that

766
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:38.080
is part of the sacrifice that you guys are bringing so that

767
00:40:38.080 --> 00:40:40.720
others can be set free and experience the freedom and the

768
00:40:40.720 --> 00:40:45.080
victory that we have in Jesus. And as Graham would say,

769
00:40:45.080 --> 00:40:47.680
another mentor of mine, like we are only vulnerable to the

770
00:40:47.680 --> 00:40:52.040
goodness of God. So there's only more freedom that we experience

771
00:40:52.080 --> 00:40:57.600
in that walk of vulnerability. So there's only more life in

772
00:40:57.600 --> 00:41:02.840
that death, if that makes sense, because that's the

773
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.240
victory of Jesus. Death does not have the final say and where

774
00:41:06.240 --> 00:41:08.520
there's death, just like when their seed put into the ground

775
00:41:08.520 --> 00:41:11.480
and it dies and a harvest is reaped, that's what's happening

776
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:14.560
in every seed that we sow in our creative processes. And when

777
00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:17.320
we step up on stage, when we step up to the screen, when we

778
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:20.800
do the heavy lifting for our who, so please be encouraged.

779
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:23.160
If you're feeling like a little bit out of sorts or like, I

780
00:41:23.200 --> 00:41:29.040
just can't quite identify what I, why I feel so about all of

781
00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:32.640
this. It could just be that you're, you're experiencing a

782
00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:34.960
new level of vulnerability and your walk with the Lord and your

783
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.600
walk with other people. And that's okay. Cause strength

784
00:41:37.600 --> 00:41:41.280
comes in that. And I, and I'm, and I'm focused on, you know,

785
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:45.360
Galatians 2.20 where Paul says, it's not I who live, but Christ

786
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.720
who lives in me and the life I live in the body, like the life

787
00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:52.800
I live here on earth, I now live by faith in the son of God, who

788
00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:57.720
loved us and gave himself up for us. So Jesus gave himself up for

789
00:41:57.720 --> 00:42:00.560
us. We can give ourselves up for each other. And when we do that,

790
00:42:00.560 --> 00:42:02.880
we discover more of ourselves than ever before. And we

791
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:08.080
experienced more life in, in, in our walk with him. So that's

792
00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:09.840
where I'm at right now.

793
00:42:15.160 --> 00:42:17.000
I'm seeing some head nods, so I think that's good.

794
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:23.960
Yeah. I get that. I get that. Yeah. And Michelle, cause I do

795
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.640
want to say, Donald Miller has some great resources, story

796
00:42:27.640 --> 00:42:31.480
brand. He talks about the guide. I am coming to California

797
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:34.760
Marcella. We're leaving tonight. We're going to be in Anaheim.

798
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:35.960
Where are you Marcella?

799
00:42:38.120 --> 00:42:43.280
I am in Carson, which is a suburb of Los Angeles, but I'm

800
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:46.320
going to see you. I'm going to see you. I'm going, I'm going.

801
00:42:46.560 --> 00:42:52.720
Oh, you're going. Awesome. Oh, I'm so excited. That'll be so

802
00:42:52.720 --> 00:42:56.440
fun. Oh my gosh. I get to like a group of people. We can all

803
00:42:56.440 --> 00:43:01.040
come with our kingdom messenger swag. I know clothes. We are,

804
00:43:01.040 --> 00:43:03.640
we're, we're working on it. We're working on a gathering in

805
00:43:03.640 --> 00:43:06.320
the fall. So we're, we're going to, we're working on all the

806
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.840
details. So I'm not going to say anything until things are

807
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:15.000
confirmed, but yeah. Oh, I'm so excited. Any other questions?

808
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.920
Cause there's, we just, we're, we're chatting. Michelle, how

809
00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:22.240
are you doing? I haven't seen you in a hot second. How are

810
00:43:22.240 --> 00:43:23.120
things going?

811
00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:30.240
Um, yeah. Uh, I just put everything on hold for a while.

812
00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:34.600
I was away in California, speaking of California. Um, and

813
00:43:34.600 --> 00:43:39.000
then I got back and lost all my hearing in my right ear because

814
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:44.240
of the plane ride. Oh no. Yeah. My eustachian tube in my right

815
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:48.880
ear, completely sealed shut on the plane ride home. So I have

816
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:53.000
been dealing with that. Um, just taking prednisone for that to

817
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:59.480
open up. So it's just been a lot. I I've I'm just now getting

818
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:03.760
back into like, Oh, I should post on Tik TOK. I should put

819
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:07.720
something on social media. Um, yeah, it's just, I've just been

820
00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:11.680
dealing with a lot of just crazy. It feels like attacks.

821
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:16.480
It feels like just demonic attacks. Yeah. Resistance. Yeah.

822
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:23.200
That's what it feels like. Um, so is resistance a good sign?

823
00:44:23.200 --> 00:44:30.320
That's that's like, it is a good sign. I mean, I, so yeah, let's

824
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.040
talk a little bit about resistance. It's a really good

825
00:44:32.040 --> 00:44:35.800
question. So it's not that we have to expect resistance at

826
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.240
every turn, but resistance is, is there because we have an

827
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:43.360
enemy who would love nothing more for us to them to shut us

828
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:47.320
down. And so what, what it's about, it's not about, do we

829
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.160
have resistance is what we do with resistance because we

830
00:44:50.160 --> 00:44:54.360
become stronger with each. And in my opinion, in my experience

831
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.120
with each level of resistance, the enemy does not become

832
00:44:57.120 --> 00:44:59.920
stronger. I do not believe that new levels

833
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.840
new devils, same devil, we grow, we grow stronger in our identity

834
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:09.080
of in who and who we are, because we're becoming more

835
00:45:09.120 --> 00:45:11.520
aware of who we are in Christ, we're becoming more aware of who

836
00:45:11.520 --> 00:45:14.280
he is with every turn. So it doesn't I don't think there's

837
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.960
ever a I don't think there's any believer doing anything of

838
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:19.440
consequence on earth that isn't experiencing some level of

839
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.680
resistance, but it's what we do with resistance. And more

840
00:45:21.680 --> 00:45:24.440
importantly, it's who are becoming in the resistance that

841
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:28.480
matters. And so I have started to realize that every hard

842
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.400
circumstance, every circumstance where there's

843
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:34.040
significant resistance is a catalyst for me to experience

844
00:45:34.040 --> 00:45:37.320
more of who God is, and therefore more of who I am. This

845
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:43.120
is like the second Corinthians. I think it's 318. Yes, I heard

846
00:45:43.120 --> 00:45:45.240
these three 18, where it talks about how the veil has been

847
00:45:45.240 --> 00:45:49.080
lifted because of Jesus. And now we with unveiled faces are

848
00:45:49.080 --> 00:45:52.040
looking to the Lord. And as we look to the Lord, we're becoming

849
00:45:52.040 --> 00:45:54.240
more like him, we're being made more into his image and

850
00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:57.040
likeness. And we're being transformed from glory to glory.

851
00:45:57.040 --> 00:46:00.160
So that's a clue to me that I'm not being deflated or depleted,

852
00:46:00.160 --> 00:46:04.040
because the promise is glory to glory, right? I'm not sinking

853
00:46:04.040 --> 00:46:07.600
and enemies are becoming stronger. And so those we've

854
00:46:07.600 --> 00:46:10.120
just been through, like I said, we're in the we're getting

855
00:46:10.120 --> 00:46:13.640
ready to enter week three of a very intense three week period

856
00:46:13.640 --> 00:46:18.960
as far as it comes to output. Last week, I was doing a event

857
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:22.320
with Graham that like, we felt like we could do in our sleep,

858
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.600
quite honestly, because we've done challenges before online

859
00:46:24.600 --> 00:46:27.280
Graham, and I we've like his team, it's like, they're like,

860
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.800
it's so it's a well oiled machine. And guys, like, every

861
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.480
little thing, there was such resistance, like the things that

862
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:39.480
shouldn't have been a big deal, like became a big deal. Now, if

863
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:42.680
we're not aware that that's resistance, we just start to

864
00:46:42.680 --> 00:46:45.240
either self condemn, like, Oh, my gosh, like, that was such a

865
00:46:45.240 --> 00:46:47.960
stupid mistake, or I should have caught this, we turn into

866
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.760
judgment, or we start to blame each other, right? Where's that

867
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:53.040
teammate, they were supposed to get this done, or what's going

868
00:46:53.040 --> 00:46:55.680
on. So we'd like turn on ourselves. So that's what you

869
00:46:55.680 --> 00:46:58.000
have to protect against is you have to protect against

870
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.560
condemnation and judgment against yourself and others

871
00:47:00.560 --> 00:47:03.040
around you. Because that is like the first thing that the enemy

872
00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:06.160
wants us to do. Because if we start to speak the language of

873
00:47:06.160 --> 00:47:09.920
hell, which is accusation, which is born out of condemnation, and

874
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:13.680
born out of judgment, then we are no longer speaking the words

875
00:47:13.680 --> 00:47:16.280
of our father, we're not speaking words of life over us

876
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:18.720
or each other. So that's like the first line of defense is

877
00:47:18.720 --> 00:47:22.560
when I go into that should have would have could have, and

878
00:47:22.560 --> 00:47:25.920
anything I know that like, I have, like, backed into

879
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.320
condemnation. So I have to, like, release myself from that

880
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:30.280
and release others from that. That's why forgiveness and

881
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.520
repentance are beautiful tools, beautiful things that we can

882
00:47:34.520 --> 00:47:37.800
use, because they just quickly shift us from that, like, you

883
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:41.560
don't have to, like, be in the prayer closet for 46 hours, if

884
00:47:41.560 --> 00:47:44.200
you've let you just have to change your mind, oh, I'm not

885
00:47:44.200 --> 00:47:47.320
living in condemnation anymore. And then either seek forgiveness

886
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:50.640
or release forgiveness, if that's needed, if there's been

887
00:47:50.640 --> 00:47:54.360
judgment towards you or judgment coming from you. And so

888
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.120
out of that space, then we look for the instead, because this is

889
00:47:58.120 --> 00:48:02.480
a catalyst for transformation, the circumstance. So ask for the

890
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:05.640
instead, if I'm feeling anxiety, the instead is peace. If I'm

891
00:48:05.640 --> 00:48:09.120
feeling fear, the instead is perfect love. The treasure hunt

892
00:48:09.120 --> 00:48:11.520
is when we don't quite know what the instead is yet. And there's

893
00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:15.800
no necessarily wrong answer. But like, I'll be extremely honest

894
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:18.880
with you guys right now. I'm in a really I have a relational

895
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:21.720
situation, not between Bruce and I, but with someone I dearly

896
00:48:21.720 --> 00:48:26.760
love. And I'm stuck in resentment. Right now, there's

897
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:30.320
some resentment that I'm dealing with. And I and I've just

898
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:33.800
recognized this this past week. And so I don't know what the

899
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.880
opposite spirit of resentment is yet. So I'm going that's where

900
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:39.240
I'm going for for the Lord. And I'm saying, Lord, I what is the

901
00:48:39.240 --> 00:48:42.200
exchange here? Because I know that this circumstance can be a

902
00:48:42.200 --> 00:48:45.000
catalyst for my transformation, for this person's

903
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:48.640
transformation. I become more myself in this circumstance. So

904
00:48:48.640 --> 00:48:51.200
like, what is the instead? So that's what I'm asking the Lord

905
00:48:51.200 --> 00:48:55.160
with right now. And he's because he is patience. And he is my

906
00:48:55.160 --> 00:49:00.240
keeper. He's keeping me as I wait with him for the instead.

907
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:03.080
So I don't even have to live in condemnation that I don't know

908
00:49:03.080 --> 00:49:08.760
what the instead is yet. I just have to trust that he is good. I

909
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:14.280
need to rest in his perfect love. And in the rest, I resist

910
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:18.680
the resistance. Now rest is not inactivity and rest is not

911
00:49:18.680 --> 00:49:22.760
passivity. We have a clue about what real rest is. And Matthew

912
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:26.800
11, where Jesus is, he says, all who are weary, come to me and I

913
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.400
will give you rest. And then what does he say? He says, take

914
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:35.320
my yoke upon you, and learn from me. I am gentle, and I am humble

915
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:37.960
in heart. So he's not going to like take us out. So we don't

916
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:39.720
need to take ourselves out. He doesn't even want to beat us up

917
00:49:39.720 --> 00:49:43.720
with him. My yoke is easy. My burden is light. The invitation

918
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:49.000
for rest is an invitation for partnership. Rest is not an

919
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.720
invitation to become inactive or become passive. Now there is

920
00:49:52.720 --> 00:49:55.440
some stillness sometimes and rest, right? That's okay. That's

921
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:57.520
not laziness or anything like that. But it's not that we just

922
00:49:57.520 --> 00:49:59.320
throw up our hands and not do anything.

923
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.040
that we are trusting and that the fact that we have, we are on the winning team.

924
00:50:07.200 --> 00:50:14.880
We are partnered with the best so I can rest in that truth and I can learn from him.

925
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:22.160
And his burden is easy. His yoke is easy. His burden is light. So as I partner with him,

926
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:31.520
I'm being transformed. I'm being made new. I'm being renewed and I will not be depleted by

927
00:50:31.520 --> 00:50:38.320
this resistance. So that's the difference. That is the difference. And so look for the,

928
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:42.560
so I would say this. I know I just said a lot of things. Let's simplify.

929
00:50:44.080 --> 00:50:47.440
Remove any judgment or condemnation. If you're holding it against yourself,

930
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:51.520
if you're holding it, find yourself holding it against others, just remove it. Repentance

931
00:50:51.520 --> 00:50:57.360
and forgiveness are great, easy ways to just surrender those things. And then look for the

932
00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:02.960
instead. Lord, this is what's happening right now in my circumstance, but I know that the issue is

933
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:08.960
not the real issue. The thing that is in front of me, the hearing loss, the weariness, the whatever

934
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:15.760
it is that you're facing, that is not the issue. The real issue is what you are up to in me in

935
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.520
this process and what you are using the circumstance to level. I don't believe that the,

936
00:51:19.520 --> 00:51:27.520
I don't believe that the Lord sends us a sickness or disease or conflict. It is anti his nature to

937
00:51:27.520 --> 00:51:33.360
do that. I don't believe he can do that, but sometimes he allows things in his wisdom that

938
00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:39.920
he could easily prevent in his power. And I have found for me that I got stuck there

939
00:51:40.640 --> 00:51:46.000
because I would hold accusation against him when things were going bad. Cause I'm like,

940
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:52.080
you could have stopped this and you didn't. And so I didn't know that that's what I was doing,

941
00:51:52.080 --> 00:51:56.240
but that's what I was doing. I was so stuck in condemnation that even against the Lord,

942
00:51:56.240 --> 00:52:02.080
I was holding an accusation. So again, this is the beauty of surrender release and say, Lord,

943
00:52:02.080 --> 00:52:08.640
I, I trust you. I trust you some, some, for some reason you've allowed in your wisdom,

944
00:52:08.640 --> 00:52:13.600
what you could have easily prevented in your power. And I know Romans 8 28, you will turn this

945
00:52:13.600 --> 00:52:18.880
around. You are working things for my good because you love me and I love you. And I'm

946
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:23.520
called according to your purpose. I know that about myself because I'm one with Jesus and

947
00:52:23.520 --> 00:52:29.120
that's the truth about Jesus. So it's true about me. So look for the, instead there's an, there's

948
00:52:29.120 --> 00:52:33.840
an instead happening here. And if we are not doing, and it doesn't mean that if you're in

949
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.200
a peaceful season and you're not experiencing resistance, you're not doing something of

950
00:52:37.200 --> 00:52:42.160
consequence. I'm not saying that, but there's always, there's always an invitation for more.

951
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.960
So there's always, even if it's just feels like a little bit of a, you know, uh,

952
00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:53.360
nipping at your heel, right? There's still always opportunity to crush the enemy's head. So,

953
00:52:54.560 --> 00:52:59.520
so use those circumstances to, for the instead and for the upgrade and then ask the Holy spirit,

954
00:52:59.520 --> 00:53:05.440
when you get the instead say it's peace, say it's a, you know, something, a physical healing,

955
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:08.800
say it's a deeper understanding, whatever that instead is that you feel like the Lord's inviting

956
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:13.920
you to ask the Holy spirit, who is your helper? Who is your advocate to teach you and guide you

957
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:18.480
in that truth? You're not even alone in figuring it all out. He's going to, he'll take you step by

958
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:26.640
step. That's good. That's awesome. Love it. Um, I know we about five, 10 minutes left and we have

959
00:53:26.640 --> 00:53:32.240
to head to the airport. So I just want to jump, Brandon Lee and then we'll go Marianne and Marcella.

960
00:53:32.240 --> 00:53:35.360
Okay. We'll go to Marcella first. Cause we've already in the Marianne at the end, but yeah.

961
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:42.240
Hey Lee. Hey guys, I'm sorry. I'm just still writing copious notes from like that

962
00:53:42.240 --> 00:53:46.560
amazing, um, encouragement. Thank you. And now I'm trying to remember what I was asking.

963
00:53:48.720 --> 00:53:53.200
Uh, come back, come back. Any of that. If you guys are needing content for your episodes,

964
00:53:55.680 --> 00:54:01.040
Oh gosh, I got a lot of food from Graham. So I give him all my mentors already stolen from

965
00:54:01.600 --> 00:54:05.760
Yeah. I love, I love that. Um, you're being real about that because we've, um,

966
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:14.400
we've noticed what we call it resistance. Yeah. Yeah. And, um, yeah, just, just right while we're

967
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:18.560
creating the episode and content and just interviewing these amazing young people,

968
00:54:18.560 --> 00:54:24.560
like it's at us, even though we're like smiling on the screen, there is so much going on. And so

969
00:54:24.560 --> 00:54:29.440
like, that's just showing us, um, yeah, that perseverance that we're doing something right.

970
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:34.880
Yep. Sort of naming it, naming it, you've sort of named it, nailed it. Um, when you spoke about

971
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:40.560
that resistance, cause we can, we sense that and yeah, that, that condemnation and judgment is,

972
00:54:41.120 --> 00:54:47.520
is just sneaky, just sneaks up and it comes and it's like, what, what are we doing? Why are we,

973
00:54:47.520 --> 00:54:51.200
why are we doing what we're doing? Yeah. Is this happening? Like just the questioning,

974
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:57.440
but yeah, I, I felt to ask too, cause the origin story that, that was it,

975
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:59.760
back to the origin story with.

976
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.320
because we're doing what we're doing

977
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.200
because we wanted to be, and we will explore this

978
00:55:05.200 --> 00:55:06.680
and go through that origin story

979
00:55:06.680 --> 00:55:08.600
and do the character development.

980
00:55:08.600 --> 00:55:12.720
But it's because we wanted to be mothers and fathers

981
00:55:12.720 --> 00:55:15.840
to these kids and to orphans.

982
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:18.800
And, you know, I'm smack bang in the middle of a

983
00:55:21.040 --> 00:55:23.800
relationship with a young person and supporting them.

984
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:26.560
And they're literally our who.

985
00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:31.880
So it's helping me, I guess, they're not Christian.

986
00:55:33.520 --> 00:55:36.160
So we're like, we're a little bit different

987
00:55:36.160 --> 00:55:38.040
and I'll go to the Lord and ask about that.

988
00:55:38.040 --> 00:55:41.600
Cause obviously we are, and we are clearly that

989
00:55:41.600 --> 00:55:46.160
but we're sort of a bit covert, covert?

990
00:55:48.160 --> 00:55:49.520
I nearly said covert.

991
00:55:49.520 --> 00:55:51.600
I nearly got, yeah.

992
00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:53.920
But so we're just going in with that.

993
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.040
So in our origin story, would it help to do things

994
00:55:56.040 --> 00:55:59.600
like, hey, in the system,

995
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:02.400
when I was living with homeless youth,

996
00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:06.240
I've noticed that there was nothing for them at the end.

997
00:56:06.240 --> 00:56:08.240
And this was really frustrating for me.

998
00:56:08.240 --> 00:56:09.080
Have you been there?

999
00:56:09.080 --> 00:56:11.840
But it was just, I will keep toying with it.

1000
00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:15.600
But I think it might not come from our own personal lives

1001
00:56:15.600 --> 00:56:17.360
or it might be, because we've both had issues

1002
00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:18.760
with the father figure.

1003
00:56:20.120 --> 00:56:21.960
But how we say that in a,

1004
00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:24.640
without Christianity coming into it

1005
00:56:24.640 --> 00:56:26.600
and yet that will come in by the way,

1006
00:56:26.600 --> 00:56:30.200
cause they'll see our content and yeah.

1007
00:56:30.200 --> 00:56:34.080
Yeah. I mean, I, there's several ways to be covert

1008
00:56:34.080 --> 00:56:35.760
especially when it's an introductory thing.

1009
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.760
Cause again, it's not about hitting them upside the head

1010
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:39.680
from the very beginning.

1011
00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:44.480
Cause it's Jesus in you that they're going to relate to

1012
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:45.440
and respond to.

1013
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:47.760
And, you know, so, and that does come with relationships.

1014
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:49.800
So this is about how do we have an introduction

1015
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:53.280
so that there can be a relational bridge that is built.

1016
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:55.800
So when you talk about the Lord,

1017
00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:57.840
and again, you'll have to maybe think through

1018
00:56:57.840 --> 00:56:59.840
like what connects with your who,

1019
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:01.480
but when you talk about your story,

1020
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:03.720
like thinking through what was the catalyst,

1021
00:57:03.720 --> 00:57:06.200
thinking through what did,

1022
00:57:06.200 --> 00:57:08.760
because the father's the provider, right?

1023
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:10.680
What did the father provide you

1024
00:57:10.680 --> 00:57:13.880
that was the catalyst to your breakthrough?

1025
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:17.120
Like, and speak to that, speak to the provision,

1026
00:57:17.120 --> 00:57:21.040
knowing that as you connect with these young people,

1027
00:57:21.240 --> 00:57:22.120
you're going to introduce them

1028
00:57:22.120 --> 00:57:24.160
to the provider himself, right?

1029
00:57:24.160 --> 00:57:27.040
But maybe you speak first to like, what did he provide?

1030
00:57:27.040 --> 00:57:30.040
And you can speak to concepts that they would understand

1031
00:57:30.040 --> 00:57:31.320
in their own worldly understanding.

1032
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:35.760
Like, you can speak to the idea that there was love

1033
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.280
or maybe you had some kind of connection with,

1034
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:41.600
I actually don't know like your full story,

1035
00:57:41.600 --> 00:57:42.960
like what the catalyst was.

1036
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:44.320
And I know that it will be condensed,

1037
00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:47.120
but we can even workshop that a little bit if you want.

1038
00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:48.880
You can share your script.

1039
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:50.120
I'm happy to look at that.

1040
00:57:50.160 --> 00:57:51.080
But think through like,

1041
00:57:51.080 --> 00:57:53.120
because basically what you're sharing is like,

1042
00:57:53.120 --> 00:57:55.600
this is where I was, this was the breakthrough.

1043
00:57:55.600 --> 00:57:56.600
We know that the breakthrough

1044
00:57:56.600 --> 00:57:58.760
was really the Lord providing for us,

1045
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.840
but maybe we just take it one level of like,

1046
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:03.120
what's something that they could easily grasp?

1047
00:58:03.120 --> 00:58:06.000
Was that that you had like a mother or father figure

1048
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:07.120
kind of enter the scene?

1049
00:58:07.120 --> 00:58:08.200
Like, was it a social worker?

1050
00:58:08.200 --> 00:58:09.320
Was it a friend?

1051
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:11.400
Was it a neighbor?

1052
00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:14.200
Or was it some kind of program?

1053
00:58:14.200 --> 00:58:17.640
Like, what was it that like shifted your story?

1054
00:58:17.640 --> 00:58:18.480
Because you mentioned like,

1055
00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:20.240
there was some like father figure issues.

1056
00:58:20.240 --> 00:58:22.680
So like, what was that?

1057
00:58:22.680 --> 00:58:24.000
How do we talk about that in a way

1058
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:27.080
that they could quickly understand and grasp?

1059
00:58:27.080 --> 00:58:28.600
And then later we can introduce them

1060
00:58:28.600 --> 00:58:30.800
to the father of lights.

1061
00:58:32.560 --> 00:58:33.600
That help?

1062
00:58:33.600 --> 00:58:34.520
That's really good.

1063
00:58:34.520 --> 00:58:35.360
Yeah.

1064
00:58:36.200 --> 00:58:38.000
So when I was sharing with like business people

1065
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:39.360
who weren't necessarily faith-based

1066
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:41.000
and I was sharing about my story,

1067
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:42.760
I talked about the burnout and everything like that.

1068
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:45.240
And then I just was very open because I,

1069
00:58:45.240 --> 00:58:47.800
I was working with, these are adult business leaders.

1070
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:48.880
They have some kind of context.

1071
00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:51.640
So I said, you know, I talked about my faith.

1072
00:58:51.640 --> 00:58:53.040
That was what I kind of used.

1073
00:58:53.040 --> 00:58:55.480
But if you're wanting to speak more at a level

1074
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:59.200
where it needs to be something for the young person

1075
00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:00.360
to feel like it's concrete,

1076
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:02.920
because you're wanting to introduce them to your,

1077
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:04.680
you know, like a relationship with you

1078
00:59:04.680 --> 00:59:07.240
or a mother, father figure, an advocate,

1079
00:59:07.240 --> 00:59:09.920
like kind of help them make that connection that,

1080
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:11.680
oh, this was what helps your breakthrough.

1081
00:59:11.680 --> 00:59:14.560
So this is what can help me make my breakthrough.

1082
00:59:16.160 --> 00:59:17.000
Yeah.

1083
00:59:17.560 --> 00:59:18.480
Yeah.

1084
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:19.320
Thank you.

1085
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:20.560
And feel free to, you know,

1086
00:59:20.560 --> 00:59:22.240
if you guys can't get it short enough,

1087
00:59:22.240 --> 00:59:24.480
like if you have to post it long,

1088
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:26.320
sometimes it's easier to make a long version

1089
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:29.080
or two versions, share it in the group.

1090
00:59:29.080 --> 00:59:30.520
And then we can all get feedback.

1091
00:59:30.520 --> 00:59:32.520
I think that's, you know, obviously we can get feedback,

1092
00:59:32.520 --> 00:59:36.680
but us as a collective can all get feedback as well.

1093
00:59:36.680 --> 00:59:37.520
Yeah.

1094
00:59:37.520 --> 00:59:38.520
So Xavier did that.

1095
00:59:38.520 --> 00:59:40.240
And I know Amy's was like a minute and a half.

1096
00:59:40.240 --> 00:59:41.680
So they just shared what they had

1097
00:59:41.680 --> 00:59:43.440
and then we kind of had to pare it down.

1098
00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:44.280
Yeah.

1099
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:45.120
Yeah.

1100
00:59:45.120 --> 00:59:46.680
That's quite good.

1101
00:59:46.720 --> 00:59:47.760
Hey, Marcella.

1102
00:59:49.560 --> 00:59:51.560
Hey, so I'm just excited.

1103
00:59:51.560 --> 00:59:55.240
I'm excited because God just did some phenomenal things

1104
00:59:55.240 --> 00:59:56.080
for me.

1105
00:59:56.080 --> 00:59:59.280
And part of it is, you know, Kingdom Messengers.

1106
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:00.120
And so.

1107
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:10.000
As you know, I celebrated my birthday and I'm really excited about that and I took like a whole, and I can't give it all today so let me just try to cut my stuff short.

1108
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:13.000
It's a whole thing.

1109
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:21.000
But what when you were talking about resistance when I think was Michelle that brought up the resistance. One of the things that happened to me this weekend.

1110
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:35.000
So, every birthday I have celebrated with my family there's never been a birthday, I did not celebrate with them. And so I needed to do something different, you know, last year and then the pandemic and all of that you know things were different,

1111
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:48.000
it was still really hard but this time I decided to visit a ministry that I follow online. And after going, I flew by myself, never been to Chicago.

1112
01:00:48.000 --> 01:01:08.000
It was a whole thing and when I tell you, I got delivered, you want to talk about resistance and attack, it came so clear that the end of last year and and coming into this year I had, I was dealing with so much resistance so much against my voice

1113
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:24.000
people were literally telling me things, oh, it's the way you speak like it was negative I mean I have was getting this negative stuff and with my mother my father you know being pastors and dealing with the transition with the church and it was all this pushback

1114
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:39.000
pushback. And one day I just heard the Lord say, let it go. Just drop it. Let them do what they're going to do. You do what I've given you to do I've given you finding me with Dr. Marcella, that is your assignment.

1115
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:47.000
And I tell you, when I let go.

1116
01:01:47.000 --> 01:02:06.000
I didn't realize what the block was so here I'm wrestling with this resistance, and these people and ultimately trying to please people for what I don't know, and then mad at myself because I'm trying to please people, and then I'm mad at myself because I'm

1117
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:20.000
not doing my podcast, and then I'm like I don't have nothing to say and then I'm working over, I'm telling you I was in this whirlwind of crazy. And when I made the decision to let it go I'm like okay the church is going to do what the church is going to do, I'm going

1118
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:33.000
to do what God this is what you gave me I know that you gave this to me I'm not crazy. And then this past weekend I went to visit the church, and it was all about the power of your voice and your sound.

1119
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:45.000
And when I tell you I scream so loud in that church. It was big church thank God, because I can be loud, but I just felt the deliverance break.

1120
01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:59.000
And so, um, I just been writing ever since I've been writing the whole weekend so whoever started off talking about too much and putting things I'm now with too much now.

1121
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.000
I didn't know what to say now I got too much.

1122
01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:14.000
So I'm trying to organize it and I'm getting scriptures for tick tock, and I said okay Lord, this has been, I got to settle down and I got to produce now I got to do like Bruce just cracking it when he said that he worked on all the tech and he goes I don't

1123
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:33.000
know I'm the opposite. I got too much to say. So I just wanted to share the testimony that really when we, we release ourselves and and align ourselves with Jesus at peace, I even had a frustrated moment on that trip with my rental car and everything

1124
01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:47.000
and I am not going to get frustrated I am here for a reason that's the first time I ever did that I would have been like, you know, people were rude to me and I was like nope, but to say at peace I'm here for a reason so I'm learning in the season so much and I am truly

1125
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:51.000
me.

1126
01:03:51.000 --> 01:04:03.000
And I'm really excited about so I just wanted to share that and it'll be more coming out hopefully I'll get it produced it up in the next coming weeks but I'm really excited just had to share that with my, my kingdom messenger family.

1127
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:17.000
Thanks so much for sharing there's such a theme guys and this call right now at the Holy Spirit's up to something there's this invitation of surrender there's this invitation of deeper trust and there's is invitation to be free and to live free.

1128
01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:27.000
Okay, so we have five whole minutes we've got to run but let's see Marion is it quick and then Amy, and we'll wrap it up. Okay, quickly.

1129
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:42.000
On the Bruce on the tribe. So, you've got to two of my videos uploaded, and they come with a thumbnail and everything. How do you upload them with all the thumbnail from from YouTube.

1130
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.000
Only place I have that is on YouTube.

1131
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:59.000
How do I, all I can upload. I can't upload from YouTube. I would upload is, is the video without the thumbnail. So how did you do it.

1132
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:02.000
Oh, so, so I

1133
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:08.000
I think I'd have to go look at your exact account, I don't have it pulled up in front of me but basically you can, when you're adding content.

1134
01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:21.000
Yeah, like if you're in here, and you hit add content. I think what we did if we set it up for you, and by we I think it was, it was maybe it was Tamara, or maybe I did it I don't know.

1135
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:33.000
But you can choose like to either upload a video, or just the YouTube. Oh, the YouTube. Okay, you just go to, you know, YouTube here and grab.

1136
01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:40.000
Yeah, just the link, like all the way to, like, yeah, the video so I can grab all of that.

1137
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.000
Okay, I was in there. I was.

1138
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:53.000
I was trying to take the link and get it to make a video and I couldn't get it to know yeah if you have to tell it what what you're sending it and then that will work but you can always.

1139
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:57.000
Yeah, that's good. That's pretty simple. Thank you, Bruce.

1140
01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:59.000
Hey Amy.

1141
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:03.000
Hey, just two quick comments.

1142
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:13.000
I got that minute a half one down to a minute by paring it down and doing a script for Tick Tock.

1143
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:23.000
Anyway, so I mean that was part of the process and the other thing is, is I thought I did so much work on that. I mean it was labor.

1144
01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:38.000
Because I have a lot of words. And so, anyway, so I was actually in this one just was unscripted did an episode that I'll put out sometime in the next three or four weeks.

1145
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:45.000
And, you know, just a little bit more you know elaborated but it didn't go into all the things which this goes to you, Holly.

1146
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:56.000
Some of those things that are just not the main point, or maybe even too long for the next tier, like those things may come up.

1147
01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:05.000
And so I hope that we inspire those to come up in future episodes, as a part of whatever you're handing out to your head.

1148
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:11.000
No, that's it. Those are my, my comments. Thank you so much for sharing.

1149
01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:24.000
Guys, it's been, it's been so fun to hang out with you all I am praying a prayer over each of you guys this week, it's a crafted prayer, born out of a scripture where it talks about how we are the apple of his eye.

1150
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:39.000
So I just, I just released this over you guys I say father thank you so much that when you look at each and every one of these kingdom messengers you see yourself, because they're the spinning image of you, because that's how you made them, and that's your dream

1151
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:45.000
for them. And so father I pray that when they look to you they see themselves accurately this week.

1152
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:48.000
Protect them, heal them.

1153
01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:50.000
