00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.720
All right, welcome to this week's Single Spotlight.

2
00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:10.040
I'm so excited for tonight's spotlight because he's amazing.

3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:11.040
He's awesome.

4
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:15.600
I have been in communication and in community with him for a while now.

5
00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:18.960
We've been chatting and we've been talking and coaching.

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.720
He is one of my coaching clients and I'm just happy to say that he is the 3Ms.

7
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:27.880
For those of you that have read any of my books or come to any of my coaching sessions,

8
00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:32.200
you know that we are looking for men that are mature emotionally and spiritually, that

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.600
they're masculine, they know how to treat a woman, and they know what a man is supposed

10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.200
to be doing in the earth, and that they're also marriage-minded.

11
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.560
So I'm happy to say that David has the 3Ms.

12
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.280
I gave you very cryptic information, so David, you need to know that all of these ladies

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.160
and more, because lots of ladies will be watching in replay, but also there'll be more ladies

14
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:57.680
showing up tonight, I'm sure all of these ladies, they didn't have a lot of information

15
00:00:57.680 --> 00:00:58.680
about you.

16
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.160
All they knew is that you were from Vegas, they knew your general age range, they knew

17
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:07.840
some of your hobbies and the things that you might like to do, and they also knew that

18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.320
you are looking for someone to have a long-term relationship with, and then they know what

19
00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:15.520
I just said, that you're masculine, mature, and marriage-minded.

20
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.320
So these ladies, they, and I also said that you were conventionally good-looking, you

21
00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:24.840
know, bone structure-wise, you know, you're kind of conventionally what people think of

22
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:33.000
as handsome, and, you know, you're not AI, but you'll do, you'll do, all right?

23
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.000
Okay.

24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.720
So, and that you're musical, and I said you're a coach, but why don't you tell them what

25
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:39.720
you coach?

26
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:42.360
I think a lot of the ladies will be really interested to hear that.

27
00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.120
Yes, I coach pickleball.

28
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.120
Pickleball!

29
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.120
Yes.

30
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:54.640
Ladies, raise your hand if you play pickleball, I just want to see the ladies that play pickleball,

31
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:56.440
or have been thinking about playing pickleball.

32
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:01.080
Or maybe you play tennis, kind of the same thing, but not, like, definitely more athletic,

33
00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:05.960
the tennis part of it, no offense, David, but a little bit more running around after

34
00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:06.960
the ball there.

35
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:07.960
Okay.

36
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.840
So we have like four or five ladies that say that they're pickleball players.

37
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:11.840
Awesome.

38
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:12.840
Okay.

39
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.440
So we're going to get started, we're going to just talk, I'm going to generally just

40
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:19.840
interview David, and then you guys are going to ask your questions, so go ahead, I don't

41
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.520
have a team member helping me, so go ahead and start putting your questions in the chat.

42
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.400
Let's not try to, let's not talk too much in the chat, so that I don't miss your questions.

43
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.000
So right now, let's just let the chat be only questions so that I don't miss them, normally

44
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.760
I have a team member with me to grab the questions, okay?

45
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:45.520
Fran and one other person, you guys got to get your cameras on, perfect, thank you so

46
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:46.520
much.

47
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.640
All right, so let's get started.

48
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.140
So David, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

49
00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:53.860
We know you live in Vegas.

50
00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:55.540
How old are you?

51
00:02:55.540 --> 00:03:01.020
Your marital, like, you know, your marriage history, your relationship history, your family,

52
00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:03.740
talk to us, do you have siblings, you know, where do your parents live?

53
00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:04.780
Are they still alive?

54
00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:06.980
Give us the basics.

55
00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:15.300
Yeah, so I grew up in Vegas pretty much all my life, I'm 37.

56
00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:20.980
In terms of relationship history, there really hasn't been much in my 20s, my 20s, I really

57
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:22.860
didn't date a lot.

58
00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:31.300
And in my 30s, I've dated more so, but I've never really been in anything very long term.

59
00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:34.020
The reality of Vegas, it has been hard for me.

60
00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:37.180
And I think a lot of my friends, it's a very transient city.

61
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:42.460
So the quality of people here, both men and women is probably not the best.

62
00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.520
And obviously, the value system is not the best.

63
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.520
So it's been hard.

64
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.720
It's been hard to find mature people, emotionally mature people, people that have done the hard

65
00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:56.360
work that have actually looked at themselves and said, you know what, I'm the problem here,

66
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:01.800
I got to deal with this and, you know, bring it to the Lord and, and let him start to heal

67
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:02.800
all that stuff.

68
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.480
Because it took me, it took me a while to kind of figure a lot of stuff out.

69
00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:10.760
And I feel like in the last, I don't know, two or three years, I've really started to

70
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.519
mature and change and see my own patterns and, and get healed from a lot of stuff.

71
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.400
And even this year, I'm sensing and feeling such a difference in just my circumstances.

72
00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:27.000
But that's because my heart has changed so much.

73
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.200
So yeah, I think it's a good season for me.

74
00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:31.640
But yeah, that's, that's the basics.

75
00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:32.640
Awesome.

76
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:36.760
So, so you grew up in Vegas, you grew up in a Christian family?

77
00:04:36.760 --> 00:04:38.000
Yes.

78
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.360
And what was your okay.

79
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.000
So people that grow up in Christian families, they answer this question differently than

80
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.920
most people, because you probably always felt like you were a believer at some level.

81
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.720
But what, when was it you made your faith really your own?

82
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.320
Like what was your real conversion experience?

83
00:04:55.320 --> 00:04:56.480
What how old were you?

84
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.360
And what did that look like?

85
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.040
So yeah, I grew up with a.

86
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.760
um with a mom that was she was catholic but she converted to christianity but it was it was real

87
00:05:07.760 --> 00:05:14.400
it's it's a real relationship with the lord um supernatural healing visions like really amazing

88
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.920
stuff and so i grew up with her teaching me about the lord so i i really did have a relationship with

89
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:26.800
the lord all my life um but you're right it did become like i i i took possession of it when i

90
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.800
was out of high school like 17 18 years old i really got into the word got involved with church

91
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.800
did internships got on worship teams um all of that kind of stuff and i really fell in love with

92
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.480
the word and and really got kind of deep in that area of my life and then a few years later i did

93
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:50.640
some bethel school stuff um in northern california and then came back here to vegas so um that's

94
00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:56.720
kind of yeah that's about it awesome rachel you need to turn your video on or we'll have to remove

95
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:03.120
you from this session um okay so i love that and um but you said that you got involved with

96
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.160
worship teams and i know that you're a musician so why don't you tell us about um your kind of

97
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.320
your journey with worship and like what do you play what's your favorite band talk to us a little

98
00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:21.520
bit about that yeah so my brother was a musician he played bass um and he got me into guitar when

99
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:31.200
i was 12 i think um so i've been playing for 25 years um guitar for 25 years drums for 23 or 24

100
00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:39.200
years um i play keys and sing and all that stuff as well um but yeah so i think i was 20 or 21

101
00:06:39.200 --> 00:06:46.480
when i started getting involved with worship um and it was good but if i'm honest i feel like

102
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.480
i feel like my gift in my heart is actually not so much in the church and in worship i feel

103
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.120
i don't know just more organic and more authentic just um i wouldn't call it secular but it's just

104
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:06.960
not quote unquote christian or whatever um i don't know it's just i've always loved um i like

105
00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:12.160
hard rock and metal music but i really love some like i love synth wave i love a lot of different

106
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:21.600
things um but i felt like i've truly felt like the church in general has not um offered much of

107
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:28.880
a platform for for minstrels i guess you could say people that really use their instrument well

108
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:34.640
it's um you know it's become a culture of you have five or eight singers on stage especially the big

109
00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:41.600
churches and it's just all kind of like there's no time to digest it and marinate in it it's just

110
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:47.280
kind of like bam bam bam three songs next service whatever so um i've always felt out of

111
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:50.080
place in a church environment because there's just

112
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:08.960
you're muted check check one two sorry yeah you got muted keep going so you you felt out of place

113
00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:16.800
in the church environment because because um okay i have to think of this again is that where i left

114
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:21.520
off yeah you because it doesn't make space for minstrels and people who really want to

115
00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:26.240
you know go deep into the music yes so i love i love instrumental music and i love churches that

116
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.159
you know can kind of soak for a while and no singing let the violin player play let the guitar

117
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.880
player play let let the lord work so i've always purist yes purist in your craft and i know that

118
00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.880
you make some some part of your living as a musician so what does that look like yeah it's um

119
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:51.120
i i worked as a music producer for i would say almost 10 years where i had a little home studio

120
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.840
people would come over they would track their songs and and i would record produce whatever

121
00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:01.200
um i got kind of burnt out with that because working on other people's music you kind of lose

122
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:06.080
passion especially if they're music you don't have any desire for their music at all and you're

123
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:10.880
just making money um so i felt like i kind of lost myself and i was like you know what i need

124
00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:16.000
to take a break from that and start doing my own stuff again um so i've been doing that a little

125
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.560
bit and um i still do play on a worship team um i play drums on sundays um but i'm actually kind

126
00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.880
of i'm working with ai which is in the last few months pretty cool as like a hybrid where i where

127
00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.800
i write and record and then ai kind of fills in the gaps um and it's actually yeah it's actually

128
00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:40.160
been a lot of fun so yeah i love that okay and so how far away do you live from your family

129
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:48.240
i'm sorry did you say you had siblings yeah um i'm the youngest of five um yep um and i

130
00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:53.520
um they're they're all over the place now my brother and my parents live here in vegas

131
00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:59.920
and then i have a sister in indiana a brother in uh new york and another sister in

132
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.480
in Phoenix.

133
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.980
How close are the family, is the family?

134
00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:04.820
Pretty close.

135
00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:06.360
I mean, I wouldn't say I'm best friends,

136
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.700
but I wouldn't say I'm far away either.

137
00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.780
There's a big gap.

138
00:10:12.780 --> 00:10:15.920
There's a 13 year gap between my oldest brother and I.

139
00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:19.980
And I actually, he has five kids

140
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:22.540
and my three nephews are like good friends to me.

141
00:10:22.540 --> 00:10:24.540
So I hang out with them.

142
00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:25.700
Oh, wow. Okay.

143
00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:29.700
So 14 year gap, that's about me and my youngest sibling.

144
00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:34.080
And the closest sibling to you, how many years apart?

145
00:10:35.260 --> 00:10:36.580
Five years.

146
00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:39.020
Okay. So you're the baby.

147
00:10:39.020 --> 00:10:40.100
Yes.

148
00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:41.200
You're the baby. Okay.

149
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.020
And your father's still living?

150
00:10:43.020 --> 00:10:44.100
Yes.

151
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:46.040
Okay. Mom and dad are still together?

152
00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:48.720
Yes. I don't know how, but yes.

153
00:10:50.660 --> 00:10:53.820
Okay. So you grew up seeing a relationship

154
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:55.980
that maybe wasn't the most compatible?

155
00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.820
Yes.

156
00:11:00.420 --> 00:11:05.420
So I've been best friends with my mom for a long time.

157
00:11:06.380 --> 00:11:09.960
And I think I learned more from her

158
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.420
how to treat a woman than my dad.

159
00:11:13.420 --> 00:11:14.260
Gotcha.

160
00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:18.940
And yeah, there's a lot of things that I've seen

161
00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:22.140
that I don't like and a lot of things

162
00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:24.140
that I would definitely do differently.

163
00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:26.100
Okay.

164
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:30.220
And I think I'm in a good place where I'm at least aware

165
00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:32.340
of what I like and don't like.

166
00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:35.060
And I'm also in a place where I'm like,

167
00:11:35.060 --> 00:11:38.220
just communicate, just talk about it.

168
00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:40.740
You just need to find out what the other person

169
00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.220
likes and doesn't like.

170
00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:45.620
For some reason, I feel like the older generation,

171
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:48.620
they don't even communicate about that stuff.

172
00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:49.460
Almost like they don't even-

173
00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:51.500
Well, they weren't taught to be vulnerable.

174
00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.420
They weren't taught to really talk about that.

175
00:11:54.260 --> 00:11:55.100
Correct, yeah.

176
00:11:56.180 --> 00:11:57.460
How old are your parents?

177
00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:00.460
I think they're 75 and 68.

178
00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:03.060
My dad's 75, mom's 68.

179
00:12:03.060 --> 00:12:03.900
Okay, yeah.

180
00:12:03.900 --> 00:12:07.140
That generation definitely was not taught that,

181
00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:10.220
even given permission to talk about their feelings

182
00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.580
or to be vulnerable.

183
00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:13.180
You just did what you were supposed to do

184
00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:14.220
and that was about it.

185
00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:16.380
Okay, so that checks out.

186
00:12:16.380 --> 00:12:18.020
So best friends with mom.

187
00:12:18.020 --> 00:12:20.860
So whoever marries you is going to,

188
00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.540
your mom's gonna gain a daughter

189
00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:26.940
or she's gonna lose a son and then be at odds.

190
00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:30.460
No, no, my mom is very not controlling.

191
00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:33.220
She is very much like, do your own thing,

192
00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:34.700
I'm not involved, whatever,

193
00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:36.620
but very supportive at the same time.

194
00:12:36.620 --> 00:12:39.020
So she will be,

195
00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:43.260
whoever it is will love my mom, for sure.

196
00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:45.780
Okay, are all of your other siblings married?

197
00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:49.780
Everybody but my second oldest brother.

198
00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:52.060
Okay.

199
00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:52.900
Awesome.

200
00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:53.740
Okay, all right.

201
00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.700
So we're gonna get more into your questions, ladies.

202
00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.140
Now, is there anything else?

203
00:12:58.140 --> 00:13:00.140
Because we're gonna start asking the ladies questions.

204
00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:02.540
We don't wanna run out of time for their questions,

205
00:13:02.540 --> 00:13:04.180
but what, is there anything else

206
00:13:04.180 --> 00:13:06.260
that you would really love for people to know about you

207
00:13:06.260 --> 00:13:08.580
in case no one asked that question?

208
00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:10.020
Is there anything that you really feel like,

209
00:13:10.020 --> 00:13:12.820
this is the essence of what you need to know about me?

210
00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:17.380
I think you just,

211
00:13:17.380 --> 00:13:20.140
I'm looking for someone that's kind and gentle

212
00:13:20.140 --> 00:13:21.780
and that communicates.

213
00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:24.940
There have been some relationships

214
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:27.620
that I've gone through that,

215
00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:31.900
the women can be kind of harsh

216
00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:34.420
and kind of triggered

217
00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:37.580
and kind of almost basically change personalities.

218
00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:42.580
And that was very jarring for me and very like,

219
00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.900
what's going on here?

220
00:13:43.900 --> 00:13:45.380
Who am I dealing with today?

221
00:13:46.380 --> 00:13:47.220
Yeah, yeah.

222
00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:50.420
So just somebody stable and solid

223
00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:54.900
and just communicates and all of that kind of stuff.

224
00:13:54.900 --> 00:13:57.300
Would you consider yourself a good communicator?

225
00:13:58.380 --> 00:14:01.100
I would say, yes.

226
00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:06.460
I internally process things,

227
00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:09.180
so I need time for that.

228
00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:12.740
But after that, I would rather communicate now

229
00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.380
than later, if that makes sense.

230
00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:16.260
Yeah, and I found you

231
00:14:16.260 --> 00:14:18.300
to be a very intentional communicator, ladies.

232
00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:20.780
I can attest to this.

233
00:14:20.780 --> 00:14:21.940
He is a good texter.

234
00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:23.020
He does text back.

235
00:14:23.020 --> 00:14:25.740
He does text back fairly quickly.

236
00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:31.100
I've given him different homework assignments and coaching,

237
00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:32.620
and he is very thoughtful

238
00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:34.660
and intentional about that homework.

239
00:14:34.660 --> 00:14:36.540
Like, not just at a surface level,

240
00:14:36.540 --> 00:14:38.220
but kind of digging in deeper.

241
00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:40.580
And so in my opinion, as a matchmaker,

242
00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:41.980
he's going to need someone

243
00:14:42.020 --> 00:14:45.860
who is in tune with himself, very self-aware.

244
00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:47.340
You don't have to be perfect,

245
00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:51.700
but self-awareness is gonna be important in this match.

246
00:14:51.700 --> 00:14:55.340
Also, like a level of saposexualness,

247
00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:58.100
where that means being able

248
00:14:58.100 --> 00:14:59.860
to have conversational chemistry,

249
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.920
able to think deeper, but also having a playful and fun side.

250
00:15:04.920 --> 00:15:07.680
In my opinion, I think that David, as an artist

251
00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:09.720
and as a creative, he can get a little deep

252
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.880
and he can get a little just, I think

253
00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:16.160
that a woman who is light and fun,

254
00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:19.360
but also able to think deeply is going

255
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.520
to be a really good personality match for him, OK?

256
00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:26.240
You can match him in his contemplativeness,

257
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.200
but also you kind of bring him out of that

258
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.480
with your fun, playfulness, OK?

259
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:34.760
All right.

260
00:15:34.760 --> 00:15:37.400
OK, so let's go ahead and see what the ladies are asking,

261
00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:37.900
OK?

262
00:15:37.900 --> 00:15:38.840
Let's see.

263
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:43.520
What are your thoughts on long distance relationship?

264
00:15:43.520 --> 00:15:47.000
First of all, how embedded are you in Las Vegas?

265
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.480
Why are you there?

266
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.480
I know your family's there, but besides that,

267
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:51.960
why else are you there?

268
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.360
And how important is it for you to stay there in this season?

269
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.840
And then how open are you to long distance?

270
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:05.040
Yeah, I'm more open to long distance than I ever have been.

271
00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:08.040
It's not preferred, but I'm definitely open.

272
00:16:08.040 --> 00:16:11.440
In terms of Vegas, yes, I would say family and friends.

273
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.400
I have a very good community, family, friends, church groups,

274
00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:21.000
pickleball groups, all the stuff that I do kind of every day

275
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.360
is definitely very good.

276
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.600
But it's kind of one of those things that I'm like,

277
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.480
I can stay here and not be married or move and be married.

278
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.560
And I'm like, I'm willing to do the latter.

279
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:37.800
So yeah, my life is here, but I'm very open to moving.

280
00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:40.760
And eventually, I would like to move anyway.

281
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:42.280
I definitely want to live in more

282
00:16:42.280 --> 00:16:46.720
of a place that has more natural beauty and nature and water

283
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.320
and that kind of thing.

284
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.760
Y'all, you don't like living in the middle of a neon

285
00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:56.200
oasis in the desert?

286
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:57.200
No, it's not for that.

287
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.160
Listen, you guys, for those of you

288
00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:00.880
that have never been to Vegas, it's much different

289
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:02.200
than you think it is, OK?

290
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.640
We're talking about just a few hours to the Grand Canyon,

291
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.599
just a few hours to Reno and to Lake Tahoe.

292
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:09.839
It's not what you think it is, OK?

293
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.359
Just four hours to California, to Southern California.

294
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.400
So Vegas is not as bad as you think it is.

295
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.599
And I actually like Vegas.

296
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.200
I do.

297
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.200
I don't do any of the Vegas-y things when I go to Vegas.

298
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.640
I don't think that I've ever gambled once when I went there.

299
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.319
I keep thinking, oh, I'm going to play a slot machine,

300
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.720
and then I forget, because the shopping is just that good.

301
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.560
It's even better than New York City, in my opinion.

302
00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:30.720
OK, all right.

303
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.240
And I usually go there for the Sphere

304
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.720
to see concerts and different things like that.

305
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.120
So that's why I'm usually there.

306
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:37.580
All right, do you consider yourself

307
00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:39.440
more of an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere

308
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.360
in between, which would be an ambivert?

309
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:42.840
Where do you got on that?

310
00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:43.440
Ambivert?

311
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:45.320
I've never even heard of that.

312
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:46.360
That's like a mix.

313
00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:48.400
Those are people that their social battery

314
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.880
doesn't get drained too much, but they definitely

315
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:55.360
need more downtime than an extrovert.

316
00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:58.320
I would say I need both equally.

317
00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.680
I need my alone time.

318
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.240
I need my space.

319
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.160
But I 100% need to be with people.

320
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.200
Ambiverted.

321
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.840
OK, there you go.

322
00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:08.560
Ambiverted.

323
00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:11.000
Not perverted, ambiverted, y'all.

324
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.520
OK, good.

325
00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:14.840
This is a lively bunch.

326
00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:17.080
OK, what high school did you go to?

327
00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:18.520
Did you go to a Christian school?

328
00:18:18.520 --> 00:18:20.240
Did you say you were homeschooled?

329
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.960
No, I went to a Christian school through eighth grade,

330
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.240
and then I went to Green Valley for high school.

331
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.320
OK.

332
00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:31.160
And people want to know what year you were at BSSM,

333
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.080
and how many years did you do there?

334
00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:39.920
It was 2012?

335
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.440
Yeah.

336
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.400
A while ago.

337
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.680
Yeah, it was a while ago.

338
00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:46.440
Yeah, 2012.

339
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.520
One year, two years, three years?

340
00:18:48.520 --> 00:18:52.160
So I did the first year, and then I

341
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.680
stuck around a while longer.

342
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.600
So basically the first year.

343
00:18:56.600 --> 00:18:58.400
OK.

344
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.800
And then you just kind of stuck around in the little town.

345
00:19:01.800 --> 00:19:02.720
Correct, yeah.

346
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.800
And just so you know, if you guys did not

347
00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:06.920
know what Redding, California looked like in 2012,

348
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.400
it was an armpit, OK?

349
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.080
I visited there in 2016, and I was just

350
00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:14.440
horrified by the place.

351
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.200
And now the place is completely different.

352
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.840
It's not even the same city, because the kingdom changes

353
00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:22.000
things, and the people have opened businesses,

354
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.880
and it's not what it used to be.

355
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.040
But back in 2012, I can imagine it was,

356
00:19:27.040 --> 00:19:30.680
I don't even know how you stayed there, honestly.

357
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.480
All right, let's see.

358
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.320
How do you spend time with Jesus,

359
00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:35.400
and do you believe in therapy and counseling?

360
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.920
So what's your favorite way to feel connected to God?

361
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:40.560
Nature.

362
00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:44.240
Whether it's just going outside and being

363
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.560
with Him in the morning or, you know,

364
00:19:47.560 --> 00:19:49.200
that's one of the parts of Vegas that I

365
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.520
wish it just had more of.

366
00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:54.520
Like, I'd rather be by the river or the lake or something.

367
00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:56.560
That's where I really feel connected to the Lord.

368
00:19:56.560 --> 00:20:00.840
But anything quiet, anything outside.

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.440
is where I feel that I can, you know, connect with him.

370
00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:07.120
Awesome. And therapy and counseling, are you a believer in that?

371
00:20:09.520 --> 00:20:17.840
I haven't, I haven't, I haven't done it personally. And I've always felt like,

372
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:26.080
I've always felt like people that do therapy and counseling are kind of lifers. Meaning,

373
00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:31.600
so I've questioned it. I've questioned like, why year after year, after year, after year,

374
00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:41.680
are you still dealing with it? So, I'm kind of like, you can only, you need heart transformation.

375
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.480
Like, even renewing the mind is one part of it. But if you don't, if something doesn't really

376
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:54.480
change in the core belief system, like, it doesn't work. You're just mentally rehearsing

377
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:59.600
something. And you're just, I don't know how to describe it, but I've always, even, even,

378
00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:04.480
quote unquote, the renewing of the mind, I feel like even church people can get kind of stuck

379
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.160
there. But again, their patterns don't change, their heart doesn't change, their emotions don't

380
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:13.600
change, their reaction to things don't change. And I'm like, Lord, there's got to be something

381
00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:19.200
that really changes the person. And so, the therapy and counseling thing, I think it's a

382
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:26.080
good thing. But I also feel like, I don't know, I question it. I don't know. Yeah, no, I mean,

383
00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:29.520
it's a good answer. And of course, I'm not going to argue with you about heart work. Obviously,

384
00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:34.000
I'm the heart work chick. And you know, the only way that you know heart work works is if you get

385
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:39.840
out there and test it out. So, it's important to continue to live, kind of forge ahead and let God

386
00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:43.280
forge you on the way. And I hear what you're saying. There are a lot of people that make

387
00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:48.160
therapy and counseling kind of a religion. They make it their own religion and they go and pay

388
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.280
homage to it every week. You know, it's something that they never graduate from. They're continually

389
00:21:53.280 --> 00:21:59.280
trying to fix themselves and dig in and try to figure out why they're the way they are and all

390
00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:03.760
the things. And so, you guys, obviously, you can have a therapist. Just make sure your therapist

391
00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:10.960
has Jesus and that you're able to graduate to the next level of your life without having to

392
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:16.080
continue to find something wrong with yourself. Ideal adventure. Do you like adventure? Do you

393
00:22:16.080 --> 00:22:21.920
like to travel? Do you like to try new things? And if so, just describe an ideal event. Ideal

394
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:32.080
adventure. Yes, I love traveling. I want to do it so much more. I like everything. I could do

395
00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:38.240
super adventurous, like whitewater rafting stuff or I can like go to Italy and go to Rome and do

396
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:46.160
all the historic stuff. I can do kind of everything. My next location, I think, is

397
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:52.960
Iceland. I kind of want to do that whole thing. I just love the outdoors and the rugged terrain and

398
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.960
all that kind of stuff. And then I want to go to Japan and do all the

399
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:06.640
Tokyo and anime stuff. And so, I am very diverse with all that. Okay. I love it. That's cool.

400
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:13.120
Describe the call on your life. What do you think is the magnum opus of your life?

401
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.400
Obviously, your purpose is to be a son of God in the earth, but what does that look like on you?

402
00:23:23.280 --> 00:23:28.240
My desire is that I would represent the Father in the best light possible,

403
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:33.760
that He's good all the time, that He always takes care of us,

404
00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:39.760
that He always protects us, that He never rejects us, He never shames us.

405
00:23:41.600 --> 00:23:49.680
That's just been my relationship with Him, is so constant and so reliable. And I want to represent

406
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:58.160
that. And I think I would say my kind of spiritual gift is a teacher. So, I've taught music. I teach

407
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:06.960
pickleball. I've taught the Word and done Bible studies. And so, I think in that way to be also

408
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:13.200
a good father and a good husband and all of that in terms of teaching. You come from a pretty big

409
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:20.880
family. How many kids would you like to have? I would say anywhere from two to four, depending on

410
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:27.920
how life goes. Okay. And what if someone already had a child? Would you be open to that?

411
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:37.040
In the past, I wasn't. Lately, I'm like, okay, maybe I should be. I think if it was the right

412
00:24:37.040 --> 00:24:44.240
person, I think if it was the right person, I think I'd be open to it. Okay. I love that. And

413
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.320
you know, being more of an entrepreneur and a creative, you know, pickleball coach, you do a

414
00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:53.760
little bit of this and a little bit of that. Do you feel like you can afford to be married in the

415
00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:59.840
near future? Not that you would have a trad wife and, you know, be the only person.

416
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.960
and bringing in an income.

417
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:03.800
But, you know, that's what I want to know.

418
00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:05.920
A lot of men, like my last single spotlight,

419
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.840
ladies, by the way, Matthew is still single.

420
00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:10.640
We have not found a match for him yet.

421
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.240
So, and he wants a trad wife.

422
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:14.920
He wants someone who wants to stay at home

423
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.900
and break sourdough and live on a ranch with him

424
00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:20.620
and do the things, not in a dominating way,

425
00:25:20.620 --> 00:25:22.880
but just in a, you know, a lot of women want that too.

426
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.880
So that's what he wants.

427
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.360
What does your future marriage look like

428
00:25:26.360 --> 00:25:27.960
ideally in your mind?

429
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.520
It looks like a best friend and a partner.

430
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:40.280
Someone that is business minded, at least.

431
00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:46.400
I would love to do something with her

432
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.640
if she wants to do something at home, from home,

433
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:54.640
part-time, whatever, just someone that has that mindset.

434
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.820
Yeah.

435
00:25:57.820 --> 00:25:59.100
Okay.

436
00:25:59.100 --> 00:26:02.540
So you're confident that if she wanted to do something

437
00:26:02.540 --> 00:26:04.780
at home or from home, didn't really want to be,

438
00:26:04.780 --> 00:26:08.140
but you're not closed off to a woman who has her own dreams

439
00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:11.500
or her own business or her own career.

440
00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:13.340
Yeah, that's totally fine, for sure.

441
00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:14.180
Okay.

442
00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:15.180
So that's fine too.

443
00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:18.460
But if she didn't and she just wanted to kind of have babies

444
00:26:18.460 --> 00:26:20.740
and be at home, you're confident that, you know,

445
00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:23.180
you could be the person, you know,

446
00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:26.420
subsidizing the marriage.

447
00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:29.540
You could be the person that is that, you know,

448
00:26:29.540 --> 00:26:30.860
the provider.

449
00:26:30.860 --> 00:26:32.180
Yeah.

450
00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:34.180
Yes, you do feel confident in that.

451
00:26:34.180 --> 00:26:35.100
Yeah.

452
00:26:35.100 --> 00:26:35.940
Okay.

453
00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:40.380
I'm always amazed, ladies, you know,

454
00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:44.260
people come in all different flavors in this area,

455
00:26:44.260 --> 00:26:49.260
but most women, you know, do want a man who is going to say

456
00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:52.540
yes to that question,

457
00:26:52.540 --> 00:26:54.380
even if they have like an amazing career.

458
00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:56.060
So I don't know where you ladies are with that,

459
00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:59.620
but that has been my experience.

460
00:26:59.620 --> 00:27:04.620
Do you, okay, we've asked all those questions.

461
00:27:07.260 --> 00:27:08.340
Those are all good.

462
00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:14.460
What quality do you value most in a friend,

463
00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.780
in a significant other?

464
00:27:15.780 --> 00:27:18.180
Like, you know, knowing your personality,

465
00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:19.620
what quality in someone else

466
00:27:19.620 --> 00:27:21.380
kind of brings the best out of you?

467
00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:25.460
What you said earlier about kind of a bubbly,

468
00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:29.860
uplifting personality, I've always been attracted to that.

469
00:27:29.860 --> 00:27:33.340
I am definitely, so when I'm in my healthy state,

470
00:27:33.340 --> 00:27:36.740
I'm goofy and fun, but when I'm not,

471
00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:39.500
I'm very serious and very like driven

472
00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:43.180
and get it done and perform and excellence and whatever.

473
00:27:44.820 --> 00:27:48.380
And I'd like to not be that way anymore.

474
00:27:49.260 --> 00:27:52.420
I'd like to just be light and happy in life

475
00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:54.660
and enjoy what's happening

476
00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:56.660
instead of stressing about what hasn't happened.

477
00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:59.300
And so I need that, I need kindness,

478
00:27:59.300 --> 00:28:02.740
I need emotional support, I need communication.

479
00:28:03.780 --> 00:28:06.380
I'm very much looking forward to serving my wife.

480
00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:07.780
That's not a problem.

481
00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:11.060
I'm actually excited about it.

482
00:28:11.060 --> 00:28:14.620
It's like a mission, it's like joyful, it's like fulfilling,

483
00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:16.980
but I need a woman who's like,

484
00:28:17.780 --> 00:28:20.220
but I need a woman who just communicates

485
00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:23.540
and doesn't expect and yeah,

486
00:28:23.540 --> 00:28:26.420
I just need kindness and good communication.

487
00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:29.260
Yes, I love that.

488
00:28:29.260 --> 00:28:31.740
And ladies, that's part of what we do as the Divine Feminine

489
00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:35.820
in my opinion is that we help men get out of their heads.

490
00:28:35.820 --> 00:28:37.500
We help men get into their heart space.

491
00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:40.300
Not that men can't get into their heart space on their own,

492
00:28:40.300 --> 00:28:44.340
but part of the better together dyad,

493
00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:48.100
the dynamic of male and female, man and woman

494
00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:51.940
is that we would bring men more into the heart space.

495
00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:53.980
And so ladies, if you live in your head space

496
00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:56.700
and you have a hard time getting into your heart space,

497
00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:58.340
maybe not the best match for you.

498
00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:01.820
Because, and the thing is, it's okay.

499
00:29:01.820 --> 00:29:05.140
We don't have to try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

500
00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:07.020
There's gonna be plenty more spotlights.

501
00:29:07.020 --> 00:29:08.860
So you gotta really be honest with yourself.

502
00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:12.380
Am I a naturally bubbly, bubbly, gentle,

503
00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:17.140
playful kind of woman who can meet a deep thinker

504
00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:20.420
where they are, but also draw them out of the stress

505
00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:22.140
and deep thinking and into their fun

506
00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:23.940
and into their free spirit?

507
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:25.100
Can I do that?

508
00:29:25.100 --> 00:29:27.140
Is that who I am?

509
00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:28.700
Because I have learned the hard way.

510
00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:30.340
You guys know I'm divorced.

511
00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:31.540
I got married when I was 20.

512
00:29:31.540 --> 00:29:33.020
I didn't even know Jesus,

513
00:29:33.020 --> 00:29:36.100
but I got divorced 10 years later

514
00:29:36.100 --> 00:29:38.780
and I did try to be what that man needed.

515
00:29:38.780 --> 00:29:41.140
And I wasn't, and it was very difficult.

516
00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:42.820
And I know we think we can become

517
00:29:42.820 --> 00:29:44.300
what someone needs us to be

518
00:29:44.300 --> 00:29:45.780
just because we like them that much

519
00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:47.900
or just because we think they're that hot,

520
00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:49.780
but it doesn't work.

521
00:29:49.780 --> 00:29:51.380
You're either that or you're not.

522
00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:52.980
And that was what I've learned in life.

523
00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:54.940
And so now I've been married for 20 years

524
00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:57.100
to my current husband, and guess what?

525
00:29:57.100 --> 00:29:59.220
We are an amazing match.

526
00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:00.220
We are a compliment.

527
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.480
opposites. And that is what David needs. The complimentary opposite to himself. He does

528
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:11.400
not need himself in a woman. Okay. That is not what we're looking for. So tell us what

529
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:16.360
a deal breaker is for you. Also non-negotiable deal breaker, kind of same word. Tell us what,

530
00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:23.600
what, what one would be, you know, besides chewing tobacco. I'm assuming you don't want

531
00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:31.840
a woman who chews tobacco. No, no, I'm good. Um, you know, let me think about that. A deal

532
00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:41.040
breaker. Okay. You think about it. I'm going to find something else here. Okay. Um, deal

533
00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:53.480
breakers, non-negotiables. Uh, I think, I think just a woman who, um, who doesn't take accountability

534
00:30:53.480 --> 00:31:05.400
or who doesn't, who do it, who doesn't ever think that they're the problem or, or, I don't know.

535
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:12.040
I've just, I'm just recalling one, one, uh, relationship I had that it was always kind of

536
00:31:12.040 --> 00:31:18.720
like the, the trigger came and then it was like pushback. And then it's like, you're the problem.

537
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:25.840
I don't want to deal with my feelings. I don't want to talk about it. You're the problem. And I

538
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:30.800
don't know, that's just, that's just really, really bothered me. Cause I am so open to talking,

539
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:37.440
and it's just like, I don't know, the refusal to, to own your own stuff was just beyond my

540
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:43.360
understanding. Right. And that's, you know, ladies, I started the conversation with, I felt like David

541
00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:48.400
needs someone who's very self-aware. So someone who's self-aware, someone who knows how to own

542
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.480
their side of the street, that's going to be super important. I will tell you my experience with

543
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:59.680
David is that he is a very teachable, um, person that he is open to seeing your point of view.

544
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:07.680
He's open to constructive, uh, feedback. And so I find that priceless in a man or a woman. And so

545
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.280
he's definitely going to need someone who's also just willing to, you know, have conflict, um, but

546
00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:19.840
repair and talk it out and, you know, find out what went wrong, what happened, not for any reason

547
00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:25.840
of blaming, um, but for the reason of just, you know, repair and moving forward. So that's going

548
00:32:25.840 --> 00:32:32.320
to be important. Um, so emotionally mature ladies, if you're emotionally mature, um, can I, no one

549
00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:36.160
asked this question, but I love to ask this question, your family, you have a big family.

550
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.480
Tell us like a fun tradition that your family does. Do you guys go on a vacation? Do you do

551
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.440
something fun for Christmas? Just kind of give us a little snapshot into what your family is like.

552
00:32:46.560 --> 00:32:52.000
Um, yeah, well in recent years we haven't done this, um, but we used to have a place in Lake Tahoe.

553
00:32:52.560 --> 00:33:00.880
Um, we had a, a, actually a lakefront property on the Nevada side. And so, yeah, all of my

554
00:33:01.520 --> 00:33:06.960
teenage years, whatever, early twenties, we would go up every summer, all of my family,

555
00:33:07.760 --> 00:33:15.280
um, and spend, you know, three or four weeks up there. And it was, yeah, that sounds amazing.

556
00:33:15.280 --> 00:33:20.720
Yeah. It's still, I still go there, um, every year with my friends now, but, um, yeah, it's, it's one

557
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:27.280
of the most beautiful places ever. I love that. That's so great. Okay. So fun tradition. Your

558
00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:30.800
family doesn't do that anymore. Do you guys have like a fun Christmas tradition? Do you guys all

559
00:33:30.800 --> 00:33:35.280
get together at mom and dad's house? Cause you have all these, you know, grown siblings that

560
00:33:35.280 --> 00:33:39.040
are married and do you guys do anything? Do you guys all gather together still?

561
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:46.000
It's, it's pretty rare and it changes every year. So, uh, like this last Christmas, my,

562
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:51.920
my brother from New York came in, um, and my other brother was here, but my sisters weren't

563
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:56.720
here. So, but there's been other years where they have been here. So it changes. Sometimes we go to

564
00:33:56.720 --> 00:34:03.280
Phoenix for, for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Um, so it, it varies. Yeah. Okay. All right. And do you

565
00:34:03.280 --> 00:34:11.679
have any pets? Do you like pets? I don't, but I, I don't have any, but I like both cats and dogs,

566
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:18.080
so I'm open. Okay. No allergies here. Both cats and dogs. Yeah. What about goats? What about

567
00:34:18.080 --> 00:34:25.199
meerkats? What about ferrets? Listen, I've seen it all. You guys, I've seen it all. People are

568
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:31.040
like, you know, it used to be like must love dogs. Now it's like must love chickens and a must love,

569
00:34:31.040 --> 00:34:37.600
you know, just all kinds of crazy pets. Okay. All right. Um, Tahoe is awesome. That's true.

570
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:43.199
Emotional support. Highland cow. Yes. Very funny. Um, okay. Have you ever been in a relationship

571
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:49.199
with someone from another denomination? And also like, you know, are you open to all races? Are you

572
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:56.320
open to like, do you know, are you, are you just like an equal opportunity, um, bachelor? Are you,

573
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:57.360
denomination?

574
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.000
I mean, you said your mom was Catholic originally. Do you feel like you could be open to someone who is a

575
00:35:06.040 --> 00:35:09.880
Denominational Christian you're you're a non-denominational Christian. Yeah

576
00:35:11.700 --> 00:35:15.760
Again I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. I had a best friend

577
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:21.040
Who's who's like me and he dated a Lutheran and that that?

578
00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:25.520
Didn't work well for him. It just was like it was it was off. So

579
00:35:26.200 --> 00:35:27.400
I

580
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:32.200
would prefer obviously that the the more similarly aligned the better, but

581
00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:38.280
So like spirit-filled. Yes, correct. Okay. Yeah more charismatic

582
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.880
Yeah in in

583
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:45.660
Just expression of faith, right? Okay. Awesome

584
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:51.200
And I feel like yours. I feel like the the the race the race question

585
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:57.000
I've known David long enough that you know, he's gonna be open to the right person regardless of who they are

586
00:35:57.560 --> 00:36:03.760
yeah, so the right person is the right person and so you're gonna have the qualities and I'm gonna sum us up because we

587
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.640
Have about five minutes left because we I have a hard stop at 645

588
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:12.880
So the right person because I want to give him a couple minutes to talk here at the end is going to be someone who's

589
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.160
Very self-aware, you know someone who is emotionally and spiritually mature

590
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.480
Someone who loves Jesus this man really truly loves Jesus. He's a Christ follower

591
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.200
So someone who's not religious but loves Jesus

592
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:31.260
Someone who's going to be open to maybe using your gifts in the marketplace and not just like in a traditional church format

593
00:36:32.200 --> 00:36:39.080
Someone who wants a West Coast swing kind of marriage meaning you don't want a man to drag you around the dancefloor in a waltz

594
00:36:39.080 --> 00:36:42.980
You're not looking for a man to lead and you're the passenger princess in life

595
00:36:43.240 --> 00:36:48.200
He wants someone who's gonna partner with him truly in all things. You guys can be best friends

596
00:36:48.200 --> 00:36:50.440
You can be partners. Maybe you're gonna be business partners

597
00:36:50.560 --> 00:36:53.840
You're going to do something amazing together. You're gonna build together

598
00:36:53.840 --> 00:37:00.440
He wants a fellow builder who's gonna lock arms with him whether that's a family whether that's a business. It doesn't matter what it is

599
00:37:01.040 --> 00:37:08.240
This is what he needs in a partner someone who's light-hearted and fun and is able to draw him out of the cave and the

600
00:37:08.520 --> 00:37:11.640
Contemplativeness that he gets into as an artist and a creative

601
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:17.660
And also someone who loves family is gonna love his family loves your family

602
00:37:17.660 --> 00:37:19.660
It doesn't mean that you came from a perfect family

603
00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:21.820
but you're going to have to

604
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:28.600
Exhibit someone who knows how to forgive knows how to repair and knows how to own your own stuff

605
00:37:28.620 --> 00:37:31.740
Okay, that's gonna be super important in this match

606
00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:33.620
Doesn't have to be local

607
00:37:33.620 --> 00:37:34.940
But if you are long-distance

608
00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:39.580
Then you have to be in it to win it meaning that you're going to have to come halfway

609
00:37:39.780 --> 00:37:47.020
So to speak in all things not just expecting him to be the person that does all the stuff

610
00:37:47.020 --> 00:37:51.140
Okay, because he's the man that's not the right match here. Okay

611
00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:56.700
All right. So you're probably gonna be somewhere in your

612
00:37:57.300 --> 00:37:59.980
later 20s early 30s to

613
00:38:00.540 --> 00:38:02.300
around his age

614
00:38:02.300 --> 00:38:04.980
But the perfect person is the perfect person

615
00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:10.500
So even though he didn't tell me this if you're a year or two older than him, but you're the perfect woman for him

616
00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:12.220
I don't think that's gonna matter

617
00:38:12.220 --> 00:38:13.940
I'm just gonna call it like it is

618
00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:21.520
But please do not send us your bio and your pictures if you don't have these other qualities because these qualities are important

619
00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:23.700
David remind us how tall you are

620
00:38:23.820 --> 00:38:28.660
5 9 5 9 you guys I told you all men are 5 9. No one listens to me

621
00:38:28.660 --> 00:38:34.460
My husband's fine. Everyone's 5 9 everybody on the earth except that those tall tour meetups is 5 9

622
00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:40.980
Okay, and you guys see he's good-looking. He's also fit athletic. He's he's outdoorsy

623
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:44.140
He likes to be active if you're not an act if you're a couch potato

624
00:38:44.620 --> 00:38:46.100
Not the right match for you

625
00:38:46.100 --> 00:38:51.460
If you're someone who likes to get outside if you're someone who wants an active lifestyle if you're someone who takes care of themselves

626
00:38:52.020 --> 00:38:57.940
That's the right match. You can send us an email to spotlight. Is it spotlights or spotlight?

627
00:38:58.140 --> 00:39:01.080
Why do I not know this every time I ask the same question?

628
00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:08.060
Spotlight it's spotlight at Jane. Wait, it's a Jackie Dorman or Jane

629
00:39:08.380 --> 00:39:12.340
Ask Reagan hurry. Okay, we're gonna you guys

630
00:39:13.660 --> 00:39:18.940
Tell me you have ADD without telling me you have ADD. In fact, I want to tell you we're having a supernatural

631
00:39:19.580 --> 00:39:26.700
Single spotlight tonight because I told him six o'clock PST not CST and you guys know that that's a two-hour

632
00:39:27.020 --> 00:39:32.700
Difference from what I told him and he had to work and his last client canceled

633
00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:35.020
Cancelled and that's why he's here

634
00:39:35.180 --> 00:39:41.820
And so I'm just telling you I feel like we're like in a divine little supernatural moment and it's storming here in Austin, Texas

635
00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:44.820
But we will put up I

636
00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:47.340
Think it's spotlight

637
00:39:47.900 --> 00:39:50.380
Okay, we're asking so you close this out

638
00:39:51.100 --> 00:39:57.180
Anything that I missed that you want to add to what I just said and I'm gonna ask you to close this out

639
00:39:57.180 --> 00:40:00.060
I'm gonna ask you to close this out. I'm gonna ask you to close this out

640
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.080
and then we'll get you guys.

641
00:40:00.060 --> 00:40:03.060
I'm gonna ask you to close this out. I'm gonna ask you to close this out

642
00:40:02.080 --> 00:40:04.020
You're gonna email us if you think you're a good match

643
00:40:04.020 --> 00:40:05.280
or if you know one.

644
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:06.680
You guys, what you make happen for others,

645
00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:07.800
God makes happen for you.

646
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.540
And if he's not your guy, no harm, no foul.

647
00:40:10.540 --> 00:40:12.620
We'll have lots more spotlights,

648
00:40:12.620 --> 00:40:15.240
but make sure that if, while I was talking,

649
00:40:15.240 --> 00:40:18.080
you're like, oh my gosh, my friend Kara has to meet David.

650
00:40:18.080 --> 00:40:21.700
You send us her information with her permission, of course.

651
00:40:21.700 --> 00:40:25.320
Please, I believe that we're gonna find his husband,

652
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.840
his husband, we're gonna find him a wife

653
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:28.760
to be a husband to.

654
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:30.240
We don't wanna find him a husband.

655
00:40:30.240 --> 00:40:33.320
Raise your hand if you're committed to finding David's wife

656
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:34.560
even if you're not her.

657
00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:36.920
Raise your hand if you will commit to

658
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.040
at least saying a prayer that he finds her.

659
00:40:40.040 --> 00:40:42.620
If you don't know anyone, at least saying a prayer.

660
00:40:42.620 --> 00:40:44.040
Being in the community,

661
00:40:44.040 --> 00:40:45.760
we're not gonna find him a husband.

662
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.760
I love the bloopers, y'all, it's so fun.

663
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.120
Okay, all right, David, close us out

664
00:40:50.120 --> 00:40:53.520
and then I'm gonna give them the information to email.

665
00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:57.560
Honestly, everything you recapped was exactly what I need.

666
00:40:57.560 --> 00:40:59.160
I need bubbly.

667
00:40:59.160 --> 00:41:00.480
Yeah, exactly.

668
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.360
I need bubbly, I need self-aware, I need fun.

669
00:41:06.120 --> 00:41:08.720
I need mature, I need responsible.

670
00:41:08.720 --> 00:41:12.360
I just need a best friend and a good life partner, yeah.

671
00:41:13.660 --> 00:41:16.280
Awesome, love it, love it.

672
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:18.120
Okay, we're trying to.

673
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:22.880
Woo, you guys, it's storming here.

674
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:23.720
Can you hear that?

675
00:41:23.720 --> 00:41:24.720
Can you guys hear it?

676
00:41:25.900 --> 00:41:26.740
Wow.

677
00:41:28.520 --> 00:41:30.020
And I'm not trying to wax spiritual,

678
00:41:30.020 --> 00:41:31.560
but I have never seen so much rain.

679
00:41:31.560 --> 00:41:32.640
I've lived here for eight years.

680
00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:34.760
It has never rained like this in Austin,

681
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:35.900
except in this season.

682
00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:38.320
For the last two months, we've gotten more rain.

683
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:40.760
In fact, the guy that came out to fix our well,

684
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:44.000
because one of these storms knocked our well out,

685
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.000
well, the guy that came out,

686
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.520
he's lived here his entire life

687
00:41:46.520 --> 00:41:48.520
and he said it has never rained like this

688
00:41:48.520 --> 00:41:51.040
in his entire life in Austin, Texas.

689
00:41:51.040 --> 00:41:54.440
And I just have, I've really felt like it's spiritual.

690
00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:56.240
I feel like the rain is spiritual

691
00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:58.520
and the word of God says that he'll come to us

692
00:41:58.520 --> 00:42:01.680
like the rain and I just believe that,

693
00:42:01.680 --> 00:42:03.960
hallelujah, it's raining men, ladies.

694
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:05.400
And so if you've been discouraged,

695
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.360
if you felt like I've looked everywhere

696
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.320
and I cannot find a guy, I want you to know

697
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.920
that I believe that God is bringing his Davids

698
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.160
from the field.

699
00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:16.400
How many of you have been with me long enough

700
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.720
to know my word about the Davids from the field?

701
00:42:18.720 --> 00:42:21.320
Raise your hand if you've heard me talk about that.

702
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:26.080
You guys know in the story of David

703
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.040
when his brothers are lined up for the anointing

704
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:30.920
and none of them are the man

705
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:32.800
that the prophet wants to anoint

706
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.440
and then the father calls his last son

707
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.600
to come out from the field, what was David doing?

708
00:42:37.600 --> 00:42:39.560
He was serving the Lord, right?

709
00:42:39.560 --> 00:42:41.520
He was serving his father,

710
00:42:41.520 --> 00:42:44.240
but he was serving his father as unto God

711
00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:46.880
and he was being honed and shaped

712
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:49.400
and all of that stuff out there in the pasture

713
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.360
and then he gets called and he gets anointed to be the king.

714
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.560
And so God spoke to me in 2023 and he said,

715
00:42:55.560 --> 00:42:58.040
I'm bringing my Davids in from the field

716
00:42:58.040 --> 00:42:59.760
and I'm telling them that it's time for them

717
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:01.600
to take their wives.

718
00:43:01.600 --> 00:43:05.560
And you guys, the next day as a sign

719
00:43:05.560 --> 00:43:07.080
that God was speaking to me,

720
00:43:07.080 --> 00:43:10.640
I got a random DM from a guy named David

721
00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:13.040
who told me someone told him about me

722
00:43:13.040 --> 00:43:14.840
and that he wanted to work with me

723
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.560
because God has been laying it on his heart

724
00:43:17.560 --> 00:43:19.720
that it's time for him to find his wife.

725
00:43:19.720 --> 00:43:23.180
So can't make this up and it wasn't this David,

726
00:43:23.180 --> 00:43:24.360
it was a whole different David

727
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:27.280
and since then I can't tell you how many Davids have come

728
00:43:28.200 --> 00:43:32.400
into my program or into relationship with me

729
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:34.760
to help them to find a wife.

730
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.720
And of course, all kinds of other men,

731
00:43:37.720 --> 00:43:40.880
other names of men, not just the name David,

732
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.800
but also with the heart,

733
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:44.520
with that same heart though, of course.

734
00:43:44.520 --> 00:43:47.260
All right, you see it there at spotlightatjmedia.org.

735
00:43:47.260 --> 00:43:49.960
If you know someone who is a match for David,

736
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:53.200
David Vegas, put that in the subject line,

737
00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:55.740
put David Vegas in the subject line,

738
00:43:55.740 --> 00:43:59.200
send us your bio, send us your pictures,

739
00:43:59.200 --> 00:44:01.120
all submissions without pictures

740
00:44:01.120 --> 00:44:03.980
will just be put right in the trash, okay?

741
00:44:03.980 --> 00:44:05.960
We don't got time to start looking for you,

742
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:08.820
we're not PIs, we can't hunt you down

743
00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:10.780
and try to find out who you are.

744
00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:13.140
So send us some clear pictures,

745
00:44:13.140 --> 00:44:15.400
let us know who you are, tell us about you

746
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.720
and tell us why you think you're a match for David

747
00:44:17.720 --> 00:44:20.240
and or send us another match,

748
00:44:20.240 --> 00:44:23.000
one of your friends, your sister, your cousin,

749
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:26.760
someone and tell us why you think they're a match,

750
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.360
give us contact information for that woman

751
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:31.440
so that we can reach out.

752
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:34.400
If you do submit your profile,

753
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.140
don't call us, we'll call you.

754
00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:40.640
If you're a match and David wants to talk to you further

755
00:44:40.640 --> 00:44:42.280
and we wanna make an introduction,

756
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:44.460
we will let you know, okay?

757
00:44:44.460 --> 00:44:46.240
Otherwise, we put you on file

758
00:44:46.240 --> 00:44:48.520
and if you fit a future spotlight,

759
00:44:48.520 --> 00:44:50.280
even if you don't show up here,

760
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.400
if your stuff fits a future spotlight,

761
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.600
we're gonna contact you, it becomes a database

762
00:44:55.600 --> 00:44:57.800
but I call it the dating base, all right?

763
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.000
So thank you so much for joining me.

764
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.640
I'm going to have an older spotlight next week.

765
00:45:03.640 --> 00:45:06.120
So tell all of your friends over 45

766
00:45:06.120 --> 00:45:08.800
that they want to make sure that they opt in

767
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:10.100
and I'll see you guys soon.

768
00:45:10.100 --> 00:45:10.940
Bye everyone.

769
00:45:10.940 --> 00:45:12.120
Thank you, David.

770
00:45:12.120 --> 00:45:13.120
Thank you.

771
00:45:13.120 --> 00:45:15.000
We're going to find your wife, not your husband.

772
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:15.840
It's going to be great.

773
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:16.680
All right.

774
00:45:16.680 --> 00:45:17.500
Thank you.

775
00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:18.340
Bye everybody.
