Welcome to the Halftime Reset Check-in.
And my name is David.
I am the husband of your beloved Jackie Dorman,
leader, thought leader, inspiration, guru,
relationship expert, all the things, the author,
the championess of ladies and gentlemen,
all of those things.
And I am stepping in tonight because I said,
you know, why don't you just let me lead tonight?
And she's like, yeah, I like that because I have stuff.
I've been doing a six month reset.
So I wanna share a little bit about my reset,
but at the same time, by a share of hands,
how many of you are really,
like you're obviously in this group,
you obviously get the idea, you showed up tonight,
but how many of you really are like,
just like seriously getting some breakthrough?
If you're not, it's okay.
It's okay to go slow.
It's a six month reset, it's not a six minute reset,
but how many of you already are experiencing,
it's like, wow, some profound breakthrough.
And I'm not talking about like little stuff.
I'm not talking about like, oh, you know,
I learned a tip, you know, to like tweak my schedule.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about like real breakthrough
in the six month reset.
So many of you have got your hands raised.
I'm gonna let you guys share in a little bit
as far as what it is that you're resetting
and what are some of your wins?
What are some of your things that you're doing?
What are some of the,
try to share with us something that's pretty unique.
It's pretty like a game changer type of tip or tool
or practice or habit that you have discovered or made,
or were made aware of by somebody else.
And you share those kinds of things with us
because when I heard this, when Jackie and I heard
this in the spirit, our right after, like the day after,
our business mentor actually put forth
a six month reset challenge.
Some of you might've joined that,
our business mentors, Pedro Odeo.
And so he kind of has his,
he kind of formalized the whole thing,
but we were like, you know what?
We have people in our community that I know
that would want to just kind of like gather around this idea
of a six month reset.
And when I heard that, when Jackie and I heard that concept,
it's not like a new concept.
It's not like, whoa, that's so profound,
a six month reset.
It was just like, it was the timing of it.
It was the sense that, oh man, what if?
Don't you, how many of you like what ifs?
I like what ifs.
What if you took six months and really dug into something?
Really like said, you know what?
This needs to change.
And I'm not trying to like form a new little trick
on my calendar or trying to form a new little habit
and trying to change the time that I get up in the morning.
All of those little steps might be part of the big reset,
but it's time to really like get serious about something
and get out of the someday syndrome.
My pastor back in the day had a book,
had a series called the Someday Syndrome.
And it was like, you know, oh, that's someday.
Someday I'll lose weight.
Someday I'll start my business.
Someday I'll write that book.
Someday I'll start this project.
Someday I'll get a dog.
Someday I'll be married.
Someday, someday, someday, someday, someday.
And someday folks, I'm telling you, never comes.
Or rarely comes because someday syndrome causes you
to not put into action, not do the things,
not take it seriously, not really invest the time,
the energy, maybe even resources
to really get the reset that you want.
And what's beautiful about like a reset and we're, you know,
we did six months because it's just the timing of it was,
it made sense.
You could do a one month reset.
You can do all kinds of different resets,
but a six month reset is kind of one of those things
that's like, this has got some weight to it.
Like six months is truly enough time
to really make a big difference,
not just for the next season of your life,
but really for the rest of your life.
So it's that kind of weight that we're putting
on this six month reset.
We said, and it's okay if your goal isn't, you know, that big, I'm just saying it's the possibilities there. And this is the kind of emphasis we're putting on this so when we heard the six month reset.
We were like, wow, what an opportunity, because there were some things in our life.
There were some things in our relationship there were some things in our business there were some things in our surrounding circumstances there's some things in our family that we're like wow, this could be an opportunity for for there to be a massive
pullback, so that we can be launched forward.
And that's what really excited us.
And so we were like, we virtually cleared our schedule.
We've been very busy since we started the six month reset and we have done some different things, but we cleared some things out of the way we didn't go abroad this year we didn't go, we canceled some other trips, and we canceled some other
possibilities, if you will, of business opportunities or meetings or gatherings.
And we decided that we were going to take the opportunity to do with the six month reset in several different ways.
Jackie is working on her health and, of course, you all know you've been praying for her we really appreciate that, that she has been really taking the time to say you know what now's the time.
Now is the season for me to really break through in this area that the health and the hormonal change that she's going through all the different things.
And, um, I started to do some inner healing. Oh my gosh.
Inner healing.
You mean, the people that are leading the, you know, the, the, the last year single based on the heart work, people need inner healing.
Yeah.
And so I started to work on the foundation of the heart work, and I'm doing some other inner healing with a trainer and a coach that just helps to get a different perspective.
And I'm telling you what I have received so much breakthrough, and it has to do with my mindset, it has to do with how I see myself but has to do with how I perceive myself, and therefore how I relate to others.
This inner healing has caused me to really get set free in a lot of in a lot of ways, and how I used to how I used to think about myself, I'm a very positive person.
I have a lot of faith principles I teach faith on faith Fridays. I can pray. I have have a tremendous
spiritual heritage and background. I've done a lot of experience a lot of teaching on a lot of trade done a lot of ministry, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there were areas in my life that I wasn't free that I wasn't completely.
Son of God kingdom thinking processing type of individual.
And so I tell you what I have been going through some, some amazing transformational some some retraining of my brain even to the point where like almost scientifically, where I'm taking like my wins Michael like my life wins, and I'm recording them and I'm
making affirmations daily, I am getting a habits chart that I am committing to.
I am making small steps to change my, my habits, my health.
I am actually being more intentional in my relationship and my love relationship with my wife.
And, and so there's so many little things that are that we're taking the opportunity to reset, we're making some massive changes in our finances and our business.
And, you know, last year single is part of our business but there's so many other things that we do business wise that don't even have anything to do with last year single.
And so we're, we're taking advantage of those opportunities and this time to put things in order, so that the next.
five, 10, 20, 30 years of our life can be less stressful, can be more peaceful, can be more
strategic, can be more bountiful, can be more just prosperous in so many ways. So we're getting
our own business education, we're getting our own heart healing coaching, we're getting our own
relationship development, we're getting our own upgrade, our own like,
like my wife just dropped probably about 10 pounds. I'm like, oh, okay, babe, I see you,
you know, like, okay, you know, and she's like doing the same thing a little bit. She's like,
you know, like, you're so handsome. What if you just got like, you know, a little fit,
you know, like, that would be so cool. And I'm like, okay, all right, babe, I see you,
you know, like, I feel you like, okay, you know. So we've got some incentive on the line.
We've got some habits that we're tracking. We've got some things that we're changing.
And so I want to know from you guys, what is happening with you in the six month reset,
we want it, we have some hands raised. And I think those are hands lining up to basically share
on what I was saying earlier, like, what is it that what's the area?
And, guys, I want to make sure, because this happens in this community. We don't have time
for the life story. We don't have time for the 10 year background leading up to this moment.
I want to know, we want to know who you are. And when we're very familiar, we gather a lot. So we
know a lot of each other. So we know, we know kind of who you are, we can see your names and
zoom and everything. But if you want to say, hey, so and so I'm from, you know, this place.
But this is what I'm doing. This is the area. It's finances, health. It's, you know, business,
it's a new project. It's, you know, I'm developing a new skill set. So I don't know what it is,
just name the area. So we understand like, where you come from, like, what's the area?
And then like a little bit of like, why, like, because I need to do this, or this has kind of
been prophetically inspired long time ago. And it's finally time I'm coming around to it. Okay,
that's cool. And then a few things like, what's like one of the breakthroughs that you're getting.
And sometimes, even if you haven't had an actual breakthrough, you can feel a breakthrough coming
on. You're like, okay, here's the breakthrough that I've either had, or here's the breakthrough
that I feel is really gonna, it's like, it's like, it's like imminent, it is the next thing.
It's like the next thing is a breakthrough. This is the breakthrough moment. It's going to be when
I do thus and such, like, for instance, the breakthrough for me is, it sounds really simple,
but it's profound. If I could ever get to the point where I am in command of the, from the
very, very moment that I wake up, there's a, there's a, there's an old fellow that used to
sort of like an inspirational, like, you know, like a positive speaker. They used to say,
if you can command, if you can get command of your day, then you can command your life. You
can change anything, you do anything. And some of you are like, yes, I know you're so disciplined
and you're so like on it and you're so scheduled and you're so planned and I love you people,
but I'm not like that. And I don't, I mean, I would thrive in that if I could just get that
disciplined. And it's amazing how much we've accomplished without being that disciplined.
But at the same time, I'm just, I'm aware that, man, if I just could command my day
and start with activities, start with prayer, start with, you know, start with just a peace
and not having to get up and rush towards something or rush towards an appointment or
rush towards going over here and doing this and just picking where I, picking up where I left off
last night, you know, late at night, trying to go to sleep or whatever that I could just, you know,
really, really command my day, get into like a routine, like routine would be great. And so
one of the things that I was helping me was when the alarm goes off,
like we're our own business leaders, right?
We're our own business people, we set our own schedule.
So in a way that kind of works against us.
Some of you that are like,
hey, I gotta be at work at a certain time.
You know, that like fixes it for you, I get it.
But we're not like that.
And when the alarm goes off,
it's just easy just to turn it off
and go back to sleep, turn over, whatever like that.
And that's usually my thing.
My alarm goes up pretty early.
And so I can sort of afford to do that.
But I can't afford to do it
if I'm trying to make change in my life, right?
And so I said, all I need is like,
I've been telling myself for the longest time,
well, I gotta get up and I gotta do something
for like a half an hour, an hour,
like pray or like do something, like set aside a thing.
And it seems so monumental that when the alarm went off,
it was easy for me just to go, that's too much.
You know, I can't do it.
Because even if I did get up, I'd be so groggy,
so sleepy and just like, oh, not into it.
And it just wouldn't be productive anyway.
So I might as well just like get my rest.
But I knew that if I could just do 15 minutes,
not 15 minutes of like a whole thing,
but if I could get up and move for 15 minutes,
that 15 minutes of movement would give me
a better state of mind to then make better choices
for the next 45 minutes or the next hour
or the next half hour or the next whatever.
Now, some of you think this is ridiculous
because like, how, why is this so difficult?
For me, it was like, all I have to do is 15 minutes.
You see how 15 minutes can change my day
because 15 minutes is just all I have to do.
But I know that if I get up and I do 15 minutes of movement,
walking outside or do something to where like,
I get awakened and I get like going and I get moving,
knowing that I don't have to be anywhere
because I don't have this flex time.
But if I can get up, that 15 minutes will put me
in a state of mind to then I can make the next best decision
and I will not have wasted an hour or whatever time it is
because I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep.
So to me, that was profound
because I was always like,
oh, I've got to do something for an hour.
I've got to do something for, no, no, no.
You just need 15 minutes.
And I just made it easy.
It's a little bite-sized chunk,
but it's going to make a profound effect on my entire day
because I actually got up early
and actually gave myself some time to get prepared
for the rest of the day in a way that makes sense.
But all to me, I don't have to feel like,
well, I've got to pray and then I've got to work out
and then I've got to get ready.
And then I'm like, that's just like, oh, la, la, la, la.
That's too much.
To me, it was just like, get up out of bed
when the alarm goes off and all you need is 15 minutes.
And now I've just started my day off because I did it.
So that little win, it was like a little step
was a big step for me.
All right, who's ready?
Leslie's first, Kim, Heather, go ahead, Leslie.
Can you hear me okay?
We can hear you, yes.
Okay, so I don't give a lot of backstory
because I get very, very nervous when I unmute.
So it'll be quick.
But when y'all did the halftime reset,
I knew that there was so much that was going well for me.
So like my weight loss has been good.
My exercise is good.
My work is good.
So I knew immediately that it was a situationship
that I needed to get out of.
And I never even knew what that word was
until I was in this program.
And I didn't even know I was in a situationship
until I was in this program.
And so this was this whole back and forth,
like I'm gonna come for you
and I'm gonna pull back from you.
I'm gonna come for you, I'm gonna pull back from you.
And it was just a very miserable thing,
but I'm an empath and I loved him.
And so there was so many emotions involved with that,
but I knew that the halftime reset,
I had to truly let that go.
And so, I don't know, maybe a week ago,
he reached out like he does after a gap of time went by
and he's like, I really think I need to come and see you
and we need to kind of clear the air.
And it took me a few days,
but I was able to actually say,
I don't think that that is something that I'm interested in.
And I don't think that that's a good idea for us.
And it was a huge step because, I mean, I still love him.
So I feel like I'm grieving him in that way,
but I'm very happy that I was able to go that way.
Wow, powerful, you got a breakthrough.
You were able to really say no and like, okay, no,
this is not working out, this is not good.
Super powerful.
Yeah, thank you.
Yes, I love that.
Thank you for sharing.
And so, hey, what's the next step for you in terms of,
I'm just, you don't have to unmute or say it,
but the question is, it's like, okay, man,
you had a breakthrough and now,
so what's the rest of the steps for you
in terms of the larger thing for the reset?
Go ahead, Kim, and then Heather.
I had two things, same as Leslie.
I finally broke it off with a situationship
that had been going on for two years, on and off,
and I finally ended it in June and I blocked him.
Wow.
So it was that, and then really just leaving,
leaving Florida, I had lived there for eight years.
I packed up my stuff Sunday with my younger son
and I moved here for him because I knew he needed me
and I moved here for my dad too.
So I'm just really, you know, it's hard,
but I know it was the right thing.
Yeah.
Proximity is super, super important
and sometimes it requires, that's why I moved to Texas.
Part of the reason we moved to Texas
is because Texas was Texas,
but part of the reason was also because Texas is not Ohio for us.
I love Ohio.
You know, I have nostalgia for Ohio.
I was raised there, wasn't quite born there,
but Ohio was like, I just, it was a mind crunch.
It was a mind shift.
It was a heart shift.
It was a geographical shift that was necessary
for so many reasons and so powerful that even that alone,
but to come to that decision, you know,
in this like this time period where you're like,
this is necessary to happen.
I have to say no, and then I have to move.
And same thing with Leslie.
That's so powerful.
Thank you for sharing, Kim.
Heather, go ahead.
Hi, sorry, walking in New York City.
I would say this to keep it succinct.
So I had a really rough pandemic.
Many people did, but I gained a ton of weight,
lots of depression, had to really navigate.
And I had been working since then to try to recover from that.
I've lost like 90 pounds, big, big shift.
And, but when I got to the end of last year,
I was realized I was totally burned out.
And I was struggling on so many levels, work-wise,
unmotivated, just, I didn't want to do anything
that I was doing before.
And I needed to take some time to reset.
And I did, but I got to the six month point
and I'd been resetting and I still felt like
I need another six months.
I don't know what I'm doing.
And having the reset hit when it did was great
because what it did was help me
be so specific on what I'm working on.
You know, like a career change
that allows me to do other things
and really have concrete goals
on what I'm trying to achieve by the end of the year.
I also have suffered some losses of a very good friend,
even just one, like two weeks ago
that was shocking and devastating.
And, but, and I've been working with her husband
on having to navigate through this.
And it has been replaying to me, you know,
we don't know how long we have here.
We have today.
So that whole conversation about someday never comes,
you don't, you have today, yesterday is done.
And so what can I do with my day?
And having concrete specific goals
and having the six month reset help me crystallize
what I'm trying to do in a three month window
and in a six month window that gets me to December
was so helpful.
And it makes me feel more inspired
about what'll happen after that.
But right now I keep the window short
I'm keeping, I'm working on really being present
and I'm being, trying to just focus on being consistent
in the small habits that will move me toward that goal,
which without the constant distractions
and identifying those distractions
and also having the concrete goals
is really helping me move the needle.
And God is really blessing me, you know,
finding Jackie and the program
at the beginning of the year.
And now I'm just entered in a special place
I'm just entered in a first time
in a very, very long time.
I'm at stage three in a relationship.
We'll see what happens.
But it's just the specificity of it,
the short timeline, being in prayer,
starting my day with that
and having the six month reset to crystallize
that has been such a huge blessing.
Wow, that's so powerful.
Yeah, it's very powerful.
Paradoxical.
I think that's a word, right?
Paradoxical.
It's very like, it's interesting
because I don't know if there's anything magical,
you know, like supernatural about a six month,
but just, it sounds good.
You know, it's kind of sizzly.
And, but it's like, there's, it's, it's long enough time,
but it's short enough time to where you can like
make a major decision.
Like, this is kind of like, there's, I don't think there's,
you know, I don't want to make it a pattern,
but I feel like a lot of people go,
I'm going to receive the six month reset.
A major decision is made upfront
and that major decision brings freedom.
It brings, it like clears the table, so to speak.
Like it's a geographical move,
or I'm saying no to something that I've always said yes to
for a very long time.
And for the first time I'm saying no.
And it starts with this like big decision.
Like we cleared our schedule.
We said, okay, we're clearing our schedule.
We're going to do a six month reset.
So that big decision to clear the schedule
or whoever it was to move,
then made the space for a lot of things to then get done.
So the paradox is you have a long time, six months,
but it's kind of a short enough season
to where it doesn't linger on and on and on and on and on.
And you're just kicking the can down the road
because that's what this is not about, right?
We talk about it all the time about like,
we got to move forward, we got to progress.
The, even just the environment,
the spiritual and the emotional environment
that we live in the day and age we live in,
like everything is speeding up.
Time is, seems like it's,
the scripture even says that.
It says that time actually gets shorter.
And it's just like, everybody senses it.
We feel it in our bodies.
We feel it in our minds.
We feel it in our spirits.
That time is short, time is short,
time is short, time is short.
And we feel like there's so much we want to do
is so much we got to want to get done.
But when we come into a reset, a six month reset,
it causes us to stop and pause,
make a single decision,
which then sort of clears the slate
and then brings a sense of peace and freedom
and like joy and like levity
to then now we can get really clear
about accomplishing something in this time period.
I don't know if many have experienced that pattern,
but I feel like that's sort of a pattern
of what's going on with this reset.
So I don't know if that's helpful,
but it just, I kind of wanted to say that.
Christina, Brittany, Tammy, go ahead, Christina.
Are you there, Christina?
We will go to Brittany now
and we'll come back to Christina if she's there.
Brittany, go ahead.
Okay, so with my share,
my six month reset is to look for another job.
I know the Lord was talking to me about that last year.
And at first I wasn't sure if I heard correctly.
And now my environment has been screaming
that you need to get another job.
And so God has put all the puzzle pieces together.
And so it went from me trying to go into one career field
and the Lord directing my path into something else.
And so that door has opened for me.
And what I've done is just really
just had to step out in faith.
So it was a lot of like changes with my mindset.
And with that, I've woken up early in the morning.
So I start my mornings again with prayer
and I try to get a scripture in
and I talk to the Lord on my way to work
and back and wherever I need to go.
But the puzzle pieces are starting to align too.
And so now I'm just waiting for my background
check to clear.
So that way I can get my initial offer and don't relocate.
And so this is huge just because currently
I've been a caregiver for my grandmother
for some time, several years.
And so now this situationship with my family
is coming to an end.
Thank God, like the Lord's like, it's time for you to go.
I'm moving you and just go with the wind,
just go where I tell you to go.
And so this is what I've been doing
is I've been trying to keep consistent with it.
And if I feel like I've fallen off the wagon a little bit
when it comes to like morning with like prayer
and spending time with the Lord before I go downstairs
and help with whatever needs to be taken care of.
I just try to readjust later on in the evening
before I go to bed.
So I try to make sure that I end my nights
where like prayer and...
Um, just gratitude to the Lord and it's just helped so much because now it's
opened the doors to, um, looking at how I eat and so less intake with sodium.
And sugars and changing how I eat my diet.
And so just being more stricter on that.
So it's just open to door to that and some more financial blessings as well.
So it's just like the floodgates are starting to like open up for me.
And I just really thank the Lord because guys like, just trust me, just trust me.
Like the Indiana Jones movie, when the last crusade, but Anna Jones, it has to
go across the other way just to get the cup of Jesus Christ to pour the water on
his dad.
And he's like, I got to take the step of faith.
And so that's pretty much what it's been.
And it's, it's been truly a ride so far and I know there's more to come.
So that's what I've been doing consistently.
That's super powerful.
Yeah, no, it's easy to like, um, get into that.
Um, discouragement when you're like set this goal and you're going to do this thing and
then you do it for a few times and then you drop off.
And then the, that voice, that inner voice starts coming at you.
And I'm telling you what I have, I've been able to reframe, um, that because I, um, I
I've just, I'm not accepting that negative talk anymore.
And that's not just a positivity.
It's about, it's about really stepping in to, um, heaven's, um, attributes, heaven's
way of thinking heavens, God's way of, of how he truly views us.
And that's renewing your mind.
I know this sounds very, you know, simple and very like elementary, but the renewing
of the mind, I mean, I've always been a big renewing of the mind, a big scripture,
a big word person.
I've always been a very, you know, you know, speak, uh, you know, my mom always
used to teach me, says, you have what you say, you have what you say.
If you say it, you have what you say.
She always reminded me of that.
And she's always very positive and she's always very word field.
So I, I was trained that way.
I grew up that way, but it's funny how you can still, even in your training and
your heritage, you can still get that sense of like, I'm not worthy.
I'm, I'm a failure.
I can't do this.
I can, you know, like, where does all that come from?
And it just, it doesn't really matter where it comes from.
It's just that it needs to be reframed in your head.
And I learned that you could through, through repetition, through, um, hearing
your own voice, um, and making declarations that you could literally
retrain your brain to think differently.
Old dogs can learn new tricks.
It's really true.
And you can think differently, which then causes your behavior to be different.
And then which causes your situation to change.
We all know this to be true at some level, or we've seen it in others, or
we know it's kind of a possibility, but we have difficulty as individuals
stepping into that in a lot of different areas of our life.
And so it's not just about believing it, but it's about stepping into it and
going, you know what, I, I'm not, I'm not going to, I'm not going
to receive that any longer.
I'm going to turn that voice off.
That voice is no longer has command, no longer has, um, the ability.
It doesn't have anything in me to speak to anymore.
And, um, I'm telling you what, it's, it's been a huge game changer for me.
I've turned, I've been able to get freedom from a lot of that.
And, um, so it's really good.
Uh, Tammy, Elizabeth, Gwen, go ahead, Tammy.
Okay.
So you want like our name and the break?
I just need what it is you're working on.
Okay.
Um, I'm just working on spending time in the word and I started when she did
the, what's your, what's your six month reset?
Um, what do you mean?
Well, we're doing a six month reset.
What's your resetting in your life?
Well, um, I'm not really in that little paid thing cause I can't afford to do
that right now, but I just started getting in the word since that, uh, when
she talked about living in the word ever since then, I started more and more and
more listening to scripture songs and focusing on that.
praying and stuff and a lot of scripture and ever since then I was gotten so many breakthroughs in my family dealing with the issues
the people that I live with
They get triggered and not to keep myself from getting triggered to help me God
I've had so many breakthroughs in that and I just feel God's presence like I get a revelation
I know that's God before I wouldn't know that's God, but I wouldn't have liked
heard
spiritually his voice you and me like it was a
Now that I knew it was God I knew but I
Felt it like I felt in my spirit like more than ever
I'm able to do that now and I feel like I watched one video on YouTube for Andrew Womack
And I felt like it doesn't matter like he said it didn't matter what other people thought the measure of God
Thanks, and after that I thought I belong to Jesus
I really felt that and I didn't worry anymore about my mom was mad at me or somebody was upset with me
Rejection to say not I went to class and I didn't have any rejection anymore. I went up to strangers
I didn't know introduce myself and I never done that before they're sitting there on their phone. I would have thought oh
They might want me to interrupt in but I didn't even think that
I was just so outgoing so happy made everybody and just wanted to but it was awesome. My eyes were not looking at myself
For once in years and years and years. That's good. Yeah, I
Love that. Thank you for sharing Tammy. I love that. It's a breakthrough in your life and I love it
Thank you. We bless that and Jesus
Elizabeth Gwen and Denise Elizabeth, go ahead. Yeah. So when Jackie shared about the six-month reset, you know, it
Brought up the question of Lord. I've been trying so long to get out of this cycle of
Overworking and still finding myself in lack and I know that the overworking
Is long been a way that I've avoided the pain of childhood wounds. Yeah
And it's really kept me from stepping into some of the
Relationships and things that I know God's called me into and I found myself going God like I've been making progress
But it's been so like little baby
What do I need to do to really shift this to actually have the bandwidth to build relationship
but tend to myself have a time to
Like actually invest in being able to date because I'm working still seven days a week
you know and
so I went
My mom was in hospice earlier this year and I started thinking about do you know do I move home? And then my mom passed in
In June and
Thank you, and I just got back from visiting my dad in Georgia checking in with him and started to explore
what does dating in Georgia look like and
Came back and just really started chewing on you know, is that reset, you know
Making space does that mean moving home and living with my dad and cutting my expenses significantly?
So that way I'm not having to work this same amount of intensity
Just to pay all the expenses because I've got my office rent my own personal rent
and
Do I need to position myself in a new space to be able to position myself relationally? So
broached having that conversation with my dad and
And
He was on board with it even offered to fly out here in December to help me pack up and move
So just really wanting to hear from the Lord if that's the reset of you know
This has been like still doing the habits working to you know, create space for myself be relationally connected still
Be open to dating out here
but
Yeah, I'm starting to kind of really like today
Conversation for the first time with a friend of what would it look like to
to move to Georgia
Yeah, I
Love that. Thank you for sharing that again
It's like it's the what-ifs and then like giving yourself the permission, you know to really do the move
Do the cut cutting back saying no
all the all the things that come with just a new
level of
Freedom
That you made it a major again. It's that pattern of making a major decision
it's like I'm making this pretty big decision pretty big for me and
Creating the space to then move forward in some things that really need to be taken care of and sometimes it feels like we're drawing
Back like you would do like moving back home moving this thing, you know going
It's not backwards as much as a drawback to to let you boost forward and I love that
Denise and Sheena go ahead Denise
Yeah, so mine's a little different because I feel the Lord has been
I'm slowing me down for my, my six month reset.
So I was really excited to like start this let's dream together course
and help people hope and dream again.
And it's like, you got to put your, yourself forward and you
got to create the content.
You got to get out there.
And I feel like it's just door slamming in my face.
And he's like, honey, I need you to slow down and I need you to get
grounded in your identity of me.
I need you to know that I'm your provider.
I'm your father that I've got your back in any situation.
And I feel I've heard Jackie talk about building the foundation or fixing
the cracks in the foundation first, before you go into the, like
higher project type of thing.
So that mine, this whole six months is getting reset in my identity as the
child of a King of an inexhaustible supply.
Love that.
I love that.
Yeah.
Mine, mine too.
As far as like the identity identity, like I've had a shift and the
understanding of my identity and who I am, and it's hard to explain
because it kind of sounds like, just like, okay, you know, very basic.
Like, of course you're, you're a son of God.
Like we're so used to a lot of these.
Um, phrases in our community and the kind of spiritual communities
that a lot of us are attached to, but there's a certain profoundness
that happens when you really start internalizing that you start believing
it, you start changing your confession.
You start changing the inner voice, you start reshaping and renewing
your mind, um, like in a really.
You know, Holy spirit led way.
So I love that as far as your reset.
Thank you for sharing that identity is a huge piece.
I've got an upgrade in my identity as well.
Uh, Gina, go ahead.
Um, so yeah, I, my six month reset was, um, really a lot of things I, I felt
like I just needed to be healthy in a lot of areas in my life that I had kind of let slide.
Um, I had had my dad living with me for some time and, um, and I just, the
atmosphere changed in my home.
Um, and it was just a slow, it's been kind of a slow re recap of my life.
It's been kind of a slow re recapturing of my home.
Um, and so, you know, really my goal has been not just physical health,
um, but spiritual health, my, my work environment.
Um, I was getting to a point where I was accepting things that
I knew I shouldn't be accepting.
Um, and so I just had to make some really hard decisions, um, that were, you know,
I was allowing myself to become comfortable.
And I always said I didn't want a safe life.
I wanted to, to be and go wherever the Lord asked me to.
Um, and I found myself kind of sitting in this safeness that wasn't
very comfortable, but it was known.
So, um, literally within the last month, I've quit a job and started
a new one that I'm so far loving.
Um, I, I haven't really done, I, I like a lot of women over 50, um, have some.
Um, health issues that I need to address and that's, that's coming.
Um, but part of the, you know, part of it was like cleaning out my house.
I've had three different people living in my house at any one time
and, and it's been just full of stuff.
So now I've found, you know, and that's overwhelming.
Well, I've made headway, right?
So I'm, I've been able to do that.
I've been, um, getting up every morning, um, usually by six 30 and my first
half hour is spent with the Lord.
Um, which had not been a habit.
I'm, you know, I think like you were mentioning getting up and just kind of,
you know, feet on the floor and you're go, go, go from moment one.
And I don't want my days to be like that because I just lose
myself in it if I, if I do that.
So I made a commitment to the Lord that I wanted to begin and end my day with him.
Um, so every morning I'm, I'm up by six 30, I've got my coffee and I'm sitting
there, um, with the Lord just in prayer and reading the word and I fall asleep
after writing scripture, which has just been a really amazing, um, time of
just spending time with the Lord, even though I'm not, that time isn't really
study, it's just literally writing scripture, but the, what it's doing
to my spirit has been an amazing thing.
That, that is, that is a process of repetition, wrote
repetition to even write it down.
So you, yeah, that's your thing that you like to do, writing it down and you
reading it and just that's meditating on that, that is definitely changing the
way you think, the way you look at things for sure.
Yeah, absolutely.
So good.
Yeah, it's, it's so.
funny because in these communities as well, you know, we're all like, yeah,
I get up every morning and spend time with the Lord. I do all the things.
I'm like, it sounds so great. And some of you are like really good at it.
I'm like, seriously,
some of you are like super pros at it because you're like super disciplined
kind of people. But for the rest of us who are not like,
hello, just not discipline. I'm just telling you. I mean,
I love a good prayer time, but I'm just like, I don't do it every day.
Because why? I don't know. Because I just, I'm not in the,
I'm not in the good habit of it. You know,
I do it later on usually because like things get in the way and I'm like, Oh,
Lord. And I start calling on the name of Jesus. I, Lord Jesus,
I need you in this situation right now. You know, cause like,
that's like in the middle of my day at the end of my day or sometimes in the
middle of the night. So those things happen.
But in terms of like starting my day off, you know,
it's been a real challenge. And so I'm not like,
Oh, I'm S I'm not putting forth like, Oh,
I'm spending every day now with the Lord in the morning, an extra 15 minutes.
No,
I just need the 15 minutes to get myself awakened enough to then make the
decision to pray or read or do something productive,
like seriously. And I'm telling myself, it just takes 15 minutes.
Like you can do whatever you want after the 15 minutes,
but just get up for 15 minutes. And then by 15 minutes,
I just know myself that like, okay, I can do this.
I can prepare a beautiful breakfast. I can, or, or not.
I can read the word. I can just take a walk. You know, I can do things,
but I'm going to make a pretty good decision. Most of the time.
I'm not going to just be like, Oh,
I'll just turn on my favorite television show and watch that at seven 30 or
whatever, you know, six 30 in the morning. No, I'm not doing that.
I'm going to make it productive.
And so that was just my little trick to help me do that. Um,
thank you, Gina, for sharing a step, Stephanie,
Adrian Hunter, Gwen, go ahead, Stephanie.
Hi, David. Um, I am nearly 70.
I usually work almost full-time and oddly enough,
I felt like God was telling me to go halftime about two weeks before
Jackie said halftime. And I'm like, Oh God, I'm doing this already.
This is cool. So I made the decision. I went out on a limb,
talked to my boss and went to halftime my hours.
So I I'm down at 24 hours right now. I've spent a month doing it.
So talk about, it's been a breakthrough for me. And believe it or not,
my sales for the month of July were probably higher than they were for the
last few months.
I feel like my yes was just exactly what God wanted me to do.
It was kind of amazing. And then I started, um,
going to a new, a new chiropractor.
And cause I've been needing to work on my health and my
heart was an issue. And I'm like, God heal my broken heart. Right.
Cause it there's something wrong with it.
And what he's showing me is how the mind and the
body are connected together.
And that by making certain activations and declarations,
which I have done for many years, I'm,
I'm finding healing. I'm kind of amazed. So it's, and,
and one more thing I just wanted to add is that when you asked,
what do you want, you asked us all about a month ago, what do you want? Right.
And I thought I wanted to do a mobile salon for homeless people.
And it's like, this sounds really good. And this is wonderful. Right.
But then Jackie, a couple of weeks later said, what do you really want?
And I said, God, what I really want is time to create.
And I don't know what that creation creating is going to be.
I have started doing some bags and stuff like that,
but I'm going to do what I really want to do and let God use it.
So that's that of that in half the time that I love it. Yeah.
There's so many things there that you said that were so good.
I love the counter intuitiveness of the six month reset. I mean,
you're just bringing this up for the rest of us because it's kind of like when
you do less, God does more little as much when God is in it.
But it's really true. Like some of the greatest times we've had,
some of the most successful times we've had is when we pulled back and did less
and then saw God do more in that season or in that month or
whatever. And so that's incredible.
I love the counter intuitiveness of the kingdom. You know,
when you want to go strong, you know,
you go soft and God fills in the gaps when you want to,
you know, when you want to you want to rest.
You want to like, Oh, I don't want to do it.
But I mean, you press in something changes.
I just love the counter-intuitiveness of like what I'm supposed to do or what
society is telling me or what my, you know, my, my parents are telling me I
should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever you're supposed to go forward.
It's supposed to do this.
You're never supposed to go back.
Don't let them see you sweat, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all the stuff.
And you're like, no, I feel like the Lord is telling me completely opposite, you
know, and you do the counter-intuitive and then the spirit comes in and does.
Tremendous things.
And so some of you that are really like type a people, you're like always on it.
Always this and that it's hard for you to do the counter too, because like, Oh,
what if I like, Oh, I can't do that because, uh, and that's a person that
needs to just let loose of control.
That has changed with age.
I used to be a type eight personality and I have learned to rest.
And now I actually love my rest.
Yeah.
And there's some of those, some of us that are procrastinators and we rest too
much and we're like, all right, I want to get to this.
I want to get doing this, you know, like changing.
So it's, it's both.
And right guys, I love it.
I love the counter-intuitiveness.
Uh, I love all the other stuff that you said as well.
Um, and, uh, so good.
So good.
Thank you for sharing.
Stephanie, Adrian, go ahead.
Hello.
So for my, um, six month reset, I wanted to focus on my health and being
prosperous and I said, Lord, I really want, cause health issues run through
my family and I did not want it to continue.
Um, and he said, I already told you what to do.
I told you to walk and drink more water, right?
So it's like, it sounds so easy.
So I started doing it on a regular basis.
And then as I would go back to God each day, he said, part of the issue is you
don't value yourself enough to keep your word to yourself.
And I said, oh, okay, well, can you teach me to keep my word to myself?
And so I have all these half finished projects and God was like, just start on
them.
So one after the other, he'd bring up the one to work on.
So I have finished knitting a blanket for my sister.
I finished, um, writing a devotional.
I finished uploading a book, um, that my nephew wrote that I said I would,
that I was going to design for him.
And so like, he's been working me through keeping my word to myself by finishing
things that I had stopped halfway through.
And then I have seen, like I walked for maybe like two weeks, two to
three weeks, almost every day.
Um, about a week ago, my mom said, oh, can I come walking with you?
And so she has had, um, one knee surgery and she's scheduled for the other.
Um, but as she's been walking with me the past couple of days, she told me today,
she was like, I didn't exercise yesterday.
And I noticed the difference.
So not only is me keeping, learning to keep my word to myself, helping me and
helping change my perspective of how God has created me and what he's calling me
to do, but I see him changing things in my family as well.
Wow, man, the multiplication, the, the, the add on the bonus, all the stuff that
comes with just saying yes to the Lord and just saying yes to a reset saying,
um, saying yes to, to what you really want.
That was another thing.
Um, that was mentioned is like what I want and then what I really want.
And that's the question.
That is the question because the question is, is not what you want.
It is what do you want?
You know?
And that's really like, if you could ever get, you have to keep on asking
yourself that question, like what I want, what do I, what do I want?
No, what do I really want?
No, what do I really, really, really want?
That's what asking the question over and over again.
Um, not for the sake of repetition, but the sake for, for the sake of digging
deeper, digging deeper each time so that you can really get the, to the root of
what it is that you want to get done or want to accomplish or want to see and
want to perform, and then Holy spirit really starts giving you the steps
and giving you the clarity.
And I love, um, what you said with regard to like, God already told you
like, he already gave you the information I love was like, yeah, I've
been telling you this for some time.
And he doesn't like say it sarcastically and rudely.
He just says it lovingly like, yeah, I know I've been telling you this.
And so I'm so excited that now you're, you're, you're seeing this,
that you're going to do it.
And the simplicity is there.
I love, it's simplistic, it's counterintuitive,
it's the big decision that leads to the clearing
of the space that leads then to the,
all the little things that get accomplished
in the six month reset.
Can you see the pattern over and over and over guys?
It is, you know, saying yes to the simple things
and they seem hard because it's like they're so,
you know, some of you were talking about making decisions
that you've been needing to make for a long time.
And it's just like,
why didn't you make that decision before?
I don't know, it really doesn't matter,
but now I am making that decision.
You know, whether it was hard
or whether it was just seemed too difficult
or too much of an obstacle or whatever it was,
this timing, the season is right.
That's why six month reset is so powerful too
is because it's the timing.
Most everyone that's testified tonight
says the timing was perfect
because what I was going through was being set up for.
So that's powerful, that's incredible.
And I love all of these testimonies,
love all the sharing.
We're gonna do a few more.
We've got Hunter, Gwen and Crystal
and we're past the time.
So we'll make them quick so we can wrap this up.
Go ahead Hunter, what is your six month reset brother?
Well, you can see I signed up with Payro
with the, I spent $295 on course
and I wanna make the most of it.
I don't know if I'm really am.
My goals are that I wanna stop self gratifying
and like, okay, ladies are gonna be mad at it.
I'm gonna have a bad review with ladies now.
Anyways, and then be on a date with someone,
learning more Jiu-Jitsu, pray on a basis,
not so distracting, stick to the pattern.
So what's the pain, problem, frustration of this?
It's been going for almost 15 years
and I want this self gratification to end.
It should have been done a long time ago,
especially when I spent college
and up to this point doing ministry.
I also like to be the strongest I can be
with Jiu-Jitsu and I wanna date
because of personal growth in my social life.
Not have a negative aspect and have a build a wall
and remain antisocial because that just misses out
and I don't like missing out
and I wanna work like any normal person.
I've been in pain and born in masturbation
and it didn't get rid of the pain, it just numbed it.
And I wanna stick to a pattern
to help me maintain a good habit and prevent idleness.
That's my trigger, I wanna stay busy.
So, and the rewards is what I can accomplish.
Like if you work hard, if you put in hours of work,
you get a paycheck and if you work hard in Jiu-Jitsu,
you get a medal.
And the responsibility is not to remain a victim
of my circumstances and discover how I can get incentives
and turn clocks back and undiscovered how did it start.
That's how I did with taking responsibility.
And then how can I take your responsibility
of life results, take thoughts captives,
doing things by doing this on my own,
set boundaries of people.
And here's my step and here it is right here.
Love it.
And then here's how I'm gonna accomplish it
is go to bed early tonight.
It used to be 10 p.m.
I would make that habit when I was,
even my bedtime as a teen was 10
and then all of a sudden started degenerating
to 10 or 30 or 10 o'clock.
I'll stay up late if I don't have to get up early.
Go to lessons, go to Jiu-Jitsu lessons,
like two or three times a week for two months
is my deadline.
Like go jogging, morning or hit the gym.
Talk with a woman on way on a daily basis,
like one woman per day, even if it's a quick day.
Yeah.
Or like, and it's not enough to talk to them
or be around them or be on messenger,
but improve the quality of time that's worth our time.
Yeah, that's good.
And pray.
Some would sing one day at a time, sweet Jesus,
but I'm just like, one woman a day, sweet Jesus.
And then there's also, and also just if I remember,
pray on a daily basis.
Try and align my will of God,
then prayer won't be like going through emotions
and wasting time.
My workplace has a multi-faith room
for not just Christians, but other religions too.
So I'll take advantage of it when I go in
and go and take advantage of it.
And then another thing is be on my phone
only when it's necessary.
Check on, focus on, not create panic.
Oh, like even when I'm on the job
because it's wasting time and you don't,
I don't really need to be there.
So good.
I love that.
Thank you, Hunter, for sharing.
That's powerful.
If more men would take responsibility,
I tell you this world would change, including myself.
It's a challenge.
I mean, I'm telling you what,
we're having that sort of like masculinity,
like crisis in the world.
It's just kind of the way it is.
And like, you guys are always saying like,
where are the good men at?
There are good men out there.
And I'm telling you what,
they are good and getting gooder.
And because of the work that we're doing,
because you are showing up, women and ladies.
Hunter's showing up trying, it's like, look, this is about maturity.
It's about responsibility.
It's about taking ownership.
It's about taking, I'm writing it down.
I'm making goals.
I'm doing the work.
I'm putting it before me.
It doesn't have to be all about white knuckling it, but it does have to be about
putting forth the vision in front of me and writing it down and making it plain.
And that brings life to your, to your situation and to the change that's going on.
So thank you, Hunter, for sharing Gwen and Crystal right here at the end.
Go ahead.
Hi.
Yeah.
Um, I wanted to say, uh, I have this breakthrough for business and I'm very
excited about it, but I kind of want to tell you, uh, one thing, the prayer that
we have every day with this group is it gets me out of bed.
I'm 66, semi-retired, like, okay, I would not be getting out of bed.
So it's been amazing.
And it, not only that it sets me on fire and it sets my head in the right spot.
So I'm like, this is amazing.
So like Sunday morning, it's kind of hard.
I mean, I go up because it's 7 a.m.
for you.
You're, uh, yeah, it's early and like it's early and you get going and it's great.
And then what's going on, the love, the summer love book, huge breakthrough.
Like, I don't know what happened is just going through the book again with
Jackie and this refining it.
And then it's like, I poked my head out and I mentioned this and then I think it
was our group, so that's not everybody on here, but I poked my head out of my wall
and I look, I'm looking at myself.
I'm like, oh, I'm not what I was thinking.
I'm not all those negative things.
And then I'm seeing other people.
And I'm just looking up, looking up has been huge, changing my life, looking
up at me and looking up at God.
Anyways, that, um, I had a business for 20 years, sunshine quilting.
It's called long arm quilting.
And my body just gave up because I'm an artist and I was drawing with thread.
It's.
But, but God shifted and to 2019 to teaching.
So I go, because if you're, if you have 25 years experience of
anything, you can go teach it.
So I went out and I, and it was just amazing how it all, all the doors went
boom, boom, boom, boom.
They all opened up and I go out and teach at quilt guilds.
They, they, um, pay me for my lecture, my workshop, the hotel, the food, the gas
all over California, I've been doing that for the last five years, minus 2020.
And then, um, and in the back of my head, God's like, do videos, do it.
And people ask me, why don't you do online videos?
And I'm like, oh, I can't do it.
I have, there's a stupid lie in my head.
I can't do it.
My thing that I teach, which is very, actually kind of.
I don't even know how to wrap my head around what I do.
God gave me this thing.
It's curved piecing.
It's really weird.
It's hard.
It's people, when they do it, they're like, oh my God, this just happened anyway.
So I'm like, so there was this block in my head that I can't do it.
Anyways, I found this online place.
They've been open since 2020.
It's called Global Quilt Connection.
And they go out and they, they introduce teachers, um, quilt teachers worldwide.
So it's a global, so not just California anymore.
I did fly to Florida once and I got to do two workshops there
because it's an ocean art quilt.
And, um, it's curved piecing, which is, um, considered a harder thing to do.
But the thing is, it's like the, the summer love book did something.
It's all supernatural.
That's what's going on.
And I'm trying to do my homework as best I can.
Um, what is, what do you, what would you say is your reset?
It's a reset from this point on there's, I have not done the videos yet, but
this from August to January, I am going, I, I, it says you can, you can increase
your income seven times, um, compared to just once a month teaching twice.
Yeah.
I mean, once a month for each guild, um, I was doing that.
And that in California driving hotel, all that stuff, this is a total different thing.
And they also there's classes on how to do, um, virtual, there's one
called video production checklist.
They teach you how to do it.
Um, and the prices have all come down.
They were like an astronomical and right after COVID, but now it's like $75.
And September 27th and eighth, they have this thing.
Um, for teachers, it's called the sample platter.
And if you're, if you get on there and I'm hoping I can get in, um, and they just
show you, show a sample of what your work is and it's going to go global.
So I'm like, I'm hoping it's only $75.
So it's changed.
They've changed.
It's good.
I just, I, you know, Gwen is probably the fourth or fifth person that just is, you
know, like I I've been studying business online business for.
years now because we have an online business and everything, but for anybody to be able to
do an online business and, you know, succeed at it is so possible today. It's just not even
fun. Like it's not even, it's not like, ah, no, it's seriously, it is possible.
It is doable for crying out loud. Gwen is teaching quilting. It's like equivalent of
underwater basket weaving class in college. It's just like, seriously, like I'm making money doing
this. Like, how can anybody do that? I have heard of people making millions of million dollars in a
year, online courses, teaching art, not just like art in general, like specific, like art on wood
with this kind of ink. I have heard of people making a million dollars teaching calligraphy
to single mothers that want to write scriptures that do it in a certain ink with a certain kind
of paint. I mean, like, it's so specific. It's like, how could you do that? How could you make
$10 doing that? Let alone a million dollars. It is ridiculously accessible. It is simple.
It's not easy in the sense that's like, oh, you just do, you know, whatever. I mean, it is work
and then there's challenges and there's the skillset, but I am, I'm telling you the, the,
the word that I'm using specifically is it is accessible. If you have any idea,
any concept, anything that you can teach, train, explain, that you could show that like,
I mean, it doesn't have to be, you don't have to be a lawyer and be a doctor. You don't have to be
a professional. You don't have to be like certified in this. It doesn't have to be real
estate. It doesn't have to be like big, normal business stuff. It could be anything. And I'm
telling you what you can be successful on it. Even if you made $500 extra a month,
some of that would be profoundly shifting for some people in their finances, a thousand dollars a
month, $2,500, $5,000 a month. That's like, like that's replacing your job. I mean, if you could
tell if somebody want to say, I just want to replace my job and do something different with
my job, not have to go nine to five, whenever it is easy, possible. Let's work on, let's do it.
Let's put a plan together, get it done. And it is so accessible. And so I I'm saying that trying
to be encouraging, because if you're struggling to find something to reset, you know, I really
believe everybody that's sharing, you know, they're like, Oh, I'm doing this. And this is my reset
and blah, blah, blah. And I got it dialed in and they feel like, Oh, they're having all this
breakthrough and success. But the rest of you have equally as many good stories. I'm sure to share.
You just decided for whatever reason not to share. But then some of you are also struggling. You're
like, what can be my thing? What can be my breakthrough? What can be my thing? That's why
it's six months guys. Because sometimes it takes a second for you to catch up with what God is doing
and it's okay. If you go away from this call tonight and you're like, Oh, all these people
are having all this breakthrough, but I'm not having it. No, I rebuke that. And I silence that
voice. I'm telling you, God has something for you. Just press a little bit further. Just be a
little bit more sincere. Don't, don't try to work at prayer. Don't try to beg God. Don't try to
manipulate God with your tears and with your sorrow. Don't do any of that.
Don't do any of that, but press in and go, okay, God, I really want to take this six month reset
seriously. I want to take myself seriously. I want to say that not only am I worthy and that I'm a
child of God, but there's something for me and it's okay. It's not being selfish. It's not being
self-centered. It's just being sincere before the Lord. And I really want that breakthrough for you.
I want you to be able to go, you know what? I prayed and I really feel clarity on that. I'm
going to make a big decision. I'm going to make some space and then I'm going to get clarity on
what it is I want to get breakthrough in, to get a reset in, to change, to really shift.
And then Holy Spirit's going to show you a lot of different ways to make some patterns of behavior,
make some changes, make some little things that are going to lead to big, big steps through these
next several months. There's still time left. There's still an opportunity to do it. The
harvest is ripe for you to be able to break through.
and to do some great things, not only for your life, but for the kingdom and other people's lives.
Trust me, when you're teaching and training and you're motivating and you're helping and you're solving problems for other people,
you are blessing them, you are healing them, you are shifting them, you are changing them, you are spreading the kingdom,
you are evangelizing them, you are doing all the work of the gospel
by literally helping and shifting and changing and teaching and training other people.
How many of you are getting excited?
Hey man, we got one last share. Crystal, can't wait to hear what you have to share for us. Thank you for waiting and so patient.
Well, we're in last year single, and I can't believe I'm the only one, but my thing to get intentional about,
and I think every single person that doesn't have anything to be intentional about, to get intentional about this.
Because we came to your last year single, I came last November out of a horrific situation with the ex-fiancee
and much court and much police involvement and threats and stuff, you know, came through, did the hard work,
went through the phase two and phase three, but God's like, you never got intentional.
You never got intentional about the dating. You know, you never got intentional.
You know, God always said one thing through me as I went through the program before, you know,
he's like, follow directions. And Jackie gives very specific directions, you know, do this in this part,
do this in this part and this in this part, you know, so I never got intentional.
So I was like, I'm coming up on one year. So I was like, Lord, I'm going to get intentional.
And I always had the, you know, like, I don't want to unlike, well, first of all, I had for a long time,
my ex had told me if he saw me, you know, with someone near here that he would either kill me or the other person.
And it was quite a situation. So I was like, you know, I was just holding off.
I was like, had all these, you know, excuses, you know, things that I would tell myself like,
oh, you know, maybe I could meet someone here. It's, you know, God will just drop this person, you know, out of the sky.
Maybe somebody else is thinking that too. So anyways, now I got intentional.
I joined a business, a Christian business group here in the area.
We meet for lunch and it is 99.9% men. So, and then me.
So I go and I sit with these men and I have lunch and we have a five minute get to know you.
So at the five minute get to know you, I say, you know, I'm really looking to get married and have kids.
I was like, if any of, you know, a good quality Christian men, man, that you could recommend.
I was like, I would, I would greatly appreciate it.
So then I also found an online Christian speed dating. So I'm going to that.
I found, and then one of the guys there, he's like, oh, Hey, we run this worship thing where we're trying to bring people to Jesus.
So he's like, why don't you come out to that?
And then I found another in person group thing because the online thing is really not, I mean, maybe, maybe somebody here from the community or whatever, but the online strangers thing is, you know,
it's just not in my heart. So now I'm getting intentional because we came here. I mean, everybody came to last year's single to get married.
If you didn't come for that, then you came for the wrong thing because Jackie's not offering soup dogs, you know, pants quilts or anything else.
She's offering men's last year single. So, you know, I think it's time to step up and pick up the David along the way here.
I love that. Thank you for encouraging us all in that. I love that because it's true. It's like, if you're wondering where the men are, just go where the men are.
And you're willing to go where the men are. You found an incubator or whatever it is that you, I mean, go to the soccer field, go to the football game, whatever you have to do.
I mean, go where the men are and trust that you're going to be safe and sound and that Holy Spirit's going to lead you to the right place.
I mean, I don't want you to do anything dangerous. I'm not promoting just going and hanging out at the bars, but, you know, people have met at the actual bar and not in the bad way either too.
I mean, that just happened to be where they met. I'm just saying, I don't know. I'm not encouraging any bad behavior. I'm just saying, take some. I love, I love Crystal's advice.
I love the intentionality. That's a huge, huge, huge factor in what it is you're saying. It's about intentionality. Where are you being intentional for your love life, for your career, for the change you want to make in your life, in your body, in your
surroundings, whatever it is. Some of you just cleaning out your house is a huge reset, is a huge reset for you because it just leads to so much clarity in so many other areas, you know, so praise God for all of that.
Thank you guys for sharing. Thank you guys for tonight.
And hey, Faith Friday is tomorrow morning.
You can make it great.
I'll be on there.
It'll be good.
And we're gonna be lifting up Jesus, bragging on Jesus.
And I want you guys to go forward
and keep on being intentional,
keep on resetting and do it what God
has laid upon your heart to do.
Amen.
God bless you guys.
Amen.
Thank you, David.
God bless you.
Thank you, David.
It was so much fun.
Love you all.
Thanks, David.
God bless y'all.
Bye.
