169 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:20.480 The shot. 170 00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:21.920 What shot the vaccine? 171 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.000 Did you have to take the vaccine? 172 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:23.880 Oh, no, no. 173 00:08:23.880 --> 00:08:28.800 I didn't have to take the vaccine, but I did I did have to do the test. 174 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.120 So they have a very expensive test. 175 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:37.080 That's a $200 test, by the way, or at least here in Dallas for it 176 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.080 called the RT PCR, RT dash PCR. 177 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.840 And it's like the gold standard of all COVID tests. 178 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.720 So if you have that, then you're good at any country. 179 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.080 Some countries claim that you can do less than that, but 180 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.280 they'll all take the RT PCR test. 181 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.840 How long is it good for? 182 00:08:54.280 --> 00:08:57.240 Oh, well, you have to have it within 72 hours. 183 00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:03.120 Most places say that you have 72 hours before takeoff, but Turkey requires 184 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.120 that it's 72 hours before arrival. 185 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.040 So anyway, so I had it done yesterday and I got my results back today, 186 00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:14.520 which obviously were negative, but yeah. 187 00:09:14.520 --> 00:09:19.480 And then I lay over in Amsterdam, though, and Amsterdam requires a 188 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:25.600 rapid COVID test within four hours of getting on a plane bound for Amsterdam. 189 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:32.200 So when I land in Atlanta, which is so weird, so in other words, the RT PCR 190 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.800 test is good enough for them, but it's not quick enough for them. 191 00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:43.800 They also want the rapid one in addition within four hours of getting on a plane. 192 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.280 Within the four hours, you know, right before you get on the plane. 193 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.960 So I have to do that in Atlanta. 194 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.320 So since I land in Atlanta, I have to go to gate E14. 195 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.440 Even though you're not staying there and you're just doing it. 196 00:09:55.760 --> 00:09:56.960 Just traveling through. 197 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.600 And, and somebody questioned me on it. 198 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.000 They were like. 199 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.840 Well, wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense 200 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.080 because that's the country that allows anything. 201 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.800 I mean, how many drugs do they have 202 00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:08.120 filing through that place and whatever? 203 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.600 But it's because from what I understand, 204 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.280 from what I've heard, it has had a very large COVID outbreak 205 00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:15.880 which is not surprising 206 00:10:15.880 --> 00:10:18.320 considering how the country is socially, 207 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.400 how it is and how it's run 208 00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:25.480 or how it's, you know, just how it is socially 209 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.760 that they've had big COVID outbreak. 210 00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:29.400 And for that reason, I think that they're being 211 00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:31.440 especially restrictive. 212 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.360 So that's what I required, 213 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.880 but I got a very good price ticket, you know, 214 00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:38.720 going that way. 215 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:40.800 So I could have just done, 216 00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:44.960 I could have done a straight flight to Turkey. 217 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.520 It would have been double the price. 218 00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:47.640 And so I asked the Lord, it's like, 219 00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:49.480 well, Lord, you can cover the double price. 220 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.960 Should I do the double price, you know, for the non-stop 221 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.480 or should I just do an extra stop for half? 222 00:10:58.520 --> 00:11:00.320 And cause I was up for either. 223 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.760 In fact, I thought I was just gonna do the non-stop, 224 00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:03.600 but for whatever reason, 225 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.600 I had peace to do the extra layover in Amsterdam 226 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.440 cause I thought I really don't care 227 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:10.960 if I do an extra layover. 228 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.440 So that's what I'm doing, 229 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.200 but I have to do the extra little rapid test, 230 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.880 but I've heard that you don't have to pay for it 231 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:18.880 cause they're doing it right there in the airport 232 00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:20.440 and that they're pretty fast. 233 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:25.440 So anyway, well, I don't know. 234 00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:28.400 The three of us might be the only ones on the call 235 00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:31.640 because it's already 20 after. 236 00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:33.920 So do either of y'all have any questions 237 00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:36.560 or anything that you wanted to talk about, I suppose. 238 00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:39.360 Well, was there anything new that came out 239 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.320 when you did your business stuff 240 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.120 that is different than what you expected to teach? 241 00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:51.760 Oh, I know. 242 00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:53.040 I suppose I could look at my notes, 243 00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:56.800 see if it can remind me of if there was anything special 244 00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:59.200 that I talked about that I wasn't expecting to. 245 00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:01.840 Let me see here. 246 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.840 Where did I put it? 247 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.040 Yeah, because I think that neither one of y'all 248 00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:12.840 were able to, were making that one so. 249 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.840 This one? 250 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.680 No, it's this one. 251 00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:16.520 Here we go. 252 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:24.160 Wow. 253 00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:29.800 Okay, so. 254 00:12:29.800 --> 00:12:31.480 It keeps getting kicked off. 255 00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:34.800 Oh, what? 256 00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:37.160 I just kicked off leaving my camera off 257 00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:39.640 in hopes of it not freezing up on me. 258 00:12:39.640 --> 00:12:40.480 Oh, okay. 259 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.320 All right, sorry. 260 00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.120 Let's see here. 261 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:49.040 I talked about the fact that provision is not the money 262 00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:53.000 and provision is not that. 263 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.920 And also going further back that business 264 00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:58.560 is not God's means of providing for us, 265 00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:02.160 that God actually provides for us in the spirit 266 00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:07.160 and the business or the money that results from the business 267 00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:10.240 is actually something that manifests 268 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.640 as a result of the fact that we collaborate with the Lord 269 00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:14.600 to receive his word that we actually 270 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.400 already are provided for. 271 00:13:16.400 --> 00:13:18.120 But we're provided for in the spirit, 272 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.440 we're not provided for in the physical realm, so to speak. 273 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.720 Any provision that comes in the spiritual realm 274 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.360 is simply a visible expression of what is already true 275 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.120 and what is already reality. 276 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.840 And we collaborate with the Lord to actually create it 277 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.040 as opposed to sitting there and waiting for him 278 00:13:34.040 --> 00:13:37.440 to thinking that it's something that he blesses us with 279 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.040 or that he gives us as like in the physical realm, 280 00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:44.040 like money or business being what we refer to 281 00:13:44.040 --> 00:13:46.080 as successful or whatever. 282 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.760 And that being God's way of providing for us, 283 00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:51.440 it's not, it's actually in the spirit 284 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.440 in which we're already being provided for 285 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.440 and in receiving his word and receiving that truth 286 00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:02.800 and receiving into ourselves the truth 287 00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:05.000 that we're already always sustained 288 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.920 and we're always provided for, 289 00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:11.760 that actually allows us to come into agreement 290 00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:14.920 with the truth and that coming into agreement 291 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:17.200 with the truth and receiving it in the spirit 292 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.200 ends up as a after effect that it manifests in the physical, 293 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.600 which is money, success in business, 294 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.080 whatever the world would refer to as success. 295 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.960 So we don't, anyway, so I mentioned that to put money 296 00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:42.400 and business success, whatever we're using in business 297 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.680 to measure whether or not something's been successful, 298 00:14:45.680 --> 00:14:47.960 to put that in the proper perspective, 299 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.800 because if we don't have that perspective 300 00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:52.960 and we think that God is actually, 301 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:57.640 that our business is God's means of providing for us, 302 00:14:57.640 --> 00:15:00.200 then we can typically attempt. 303 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.640 patch ourselves too strongly to business and what's happening in business or whether employees 304 00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:10.160 are operating a particular way or whatever, because if they don't, well, then it's going to 305 00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:18.640 cost us that we can start to put pressure in those particular areas, thinking that we're 306 00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:25.920 trying to control the way that we believe that God intended to provide for us and that we're 307 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:35.280 being threatened with not receiving it, that what God intended to supply us with out of his goodness 308 00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:40.400 and out of his promise, that's being thwarted and that's being hindered. And it's not true, 309 00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:46.400 that God connecting with us and giving us whatever he wants cannot be thwarted. 310 00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:53.520 How it manifests, however, and how that truth that's already true ends up actually just showing 311 00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:59.280 in a visible way, that can take on a variety of forms and it doesn't have to even be in money. 312 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.960 So when whatever is being thwarted sometimes is the manifestation, but it's never the actual 313 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:14.240 provision. That's the same, you know, it's the spiritual warfare aspect. You could talk 314 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.040 about this even related to spiritual warfare, that spiritual warfare only comes into play when 315 00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:25.200 what is true and the spirit tries to manifest itself into the soul or the body. 316 00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:31.200 So I did talk about that. What else did I talk about? 317 00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:38.960 How do we get moving towards it? Let's go back to the basics. It's not learning things. 318 00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:45.120 Oh, all right. Yeah. I talked about that. Oh, okay. This was the big one, that rest is not 319 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:52.400 just having peace, knowing that God could do something, that it's actually knowing that God 320 00:16:52.400 --> 00:17:12.480 will always be love and good, regardless of how it manifests. So rest is, we are able to shift 321 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:23.839 into rest when we choose God to such an extent that no matter how he happens to show up or what 322 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:33.360 it is that ends up manifesting in our business, he can do no wrong in our eyes, regardless of 323 00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:37.920 what ends up happening. Even if it's something that we think of, oh, well, that's thwarting us 324 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:42.080 or that's hindering us or it's threatening us, whether we're talking about business or some 325 00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:50.080 other issue in relationships or some other issue in finances, whatever that no matter how, no matter 326 00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:58.320 what manifests, he can do no wrong in our eyes. That is complete rest. We're choosing his character 327 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:06.400 to that degree. That is that disconnected from the results that no matter what happens, 328 00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:12.640 he can do no wrong in our eyes. So he's always loving. He's always good. We never have accusation. 329 00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:19.200 No, I talked about that. Talked about making decisions, talked about creating through 330 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.360 intention. Okay. I don't think that I mentioned this in the conference. 331 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:34.480 So in intention, sometimes we are very, when we're trying to learn to do something, say, 332 00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:38.640 you know, in business, for instance, we're trying to do something in business. We're trying to think, 333 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:45.520 how do I be a son of God in business? How do I, how do I send out my intention? We can kind of do 334 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:53.440 what a machine gun effect and like spray a huge area. And the fact that we're just like, well, 335 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.640 I think this is intention. And so therefore I'm going to do this. Well, we don't realize that 336 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:04.560 we're not being very specific. We just think that we're, we're trying to learn where is our 337 00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:10.080 intention. And so we're very general about it. Kind of like a child who's learning to use his arm 338 00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:15.680 and he could move his arm in any direction. And so he figures out, okay, I want to move my arm 339 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.760 this way. So he figures out he wants to move his arm in front of him as opposed to up or down or 340 00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:27.840 outside or whatever. So he gets at least this, but he still covers a wide range with his, with 341 00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:34.560 the sweep of his arm, instead of just reaching for something. He does kind of does this. So he's 342 00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:40.320 in a general area, but it's, so he has honed it down to that much, but it's still over a very 343 00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:44.800 wide range. We do the same thing with our intention where we're trying to think, okay, 344 00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:48.400 I want to move my business in a particular direction. I'm telling the, you know, me and 345 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:54.080 the Lord together, we want, I'm feeling this on his heart or I, or I'm feeling a general idea of 346 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.440 what might be on his heart. So I'm kind of going in sort of a general direction, 347 00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.840 but I don't know specifically what it is that I'm doing. 348 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.840 That's kind of like a child doing this. 349 00:20:02.840 --> 00:20:06.400 At least he's not doing this, so he's figured out how to make himself do this as opposed 350 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.480 to this or behind him or whatever. 351 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:11.400 So he's narrowed it down. 352 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:17.880 But if we get results by doing this in business or in interacting with another person or whatever, 353 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.600 we get results and we think, oh, I figured it out. 354 00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:21.600 Excellent. 355 00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.600 I know how to do this now. 356 00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:23.600 This is great. 357 00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:24.600 This must be intention. 358 00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:27.400 I was trying something and it worked. 359 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:31.520 And so it might work for the first time or it might work for the first two or three times. 360 00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:34.760 But then all of a sudden, something doesn't work anymore. 361 00:20:34.760 --> 00:20:35.760 And we get very frustrated. 362 00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:38.760 Like, for instance, we think I've been working in rest. 363 00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:43.560 I've been I've shifted into rest and everything is great and things are working now. 364 00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:49.800 And we'll notice this when we first learn about rest, that that things work beautifully. 365 00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:54.800 And we know and we it feels it feels easy. 366 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.200 And we're like, oh, wow, that was so easy. 367 00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.200 And I received such freedom. 368 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:01.200 And we'll do that for the first two or three times. 369 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.200 And then all of a sudden, we'll run into something where it suddenly doesn't work anymore. 370 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.200 And we get very discouraged. 371 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.200 We're thinking, oh, my goodness, I thought I figured it out. 372 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.200 Why is it? 373 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.200 Why? 374 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:11.200 You know, what is actually going on? 375 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.200 Well, what it is, is it's that wide sweep. 376 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:20.200 And God wants to let us know, hey, look, yes, y'all were in a generator in the right direction. 377 00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:38.600 But what I'm wanting you to now know, learn is how to hone your intention to hone what it is to narrow your understanding to come closer and closer to the specificity of what it is that I want you to know. 378 00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:45.600 Because when a son of man, son of God knows his will and knows his intention, he can finally direct it. 379 00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:49.600 But until he knows what it is and how to use it, he can't direct it. 380 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:57.000 So anyway, that's what it is with the way that the Lord interacts with us, with our intention. 381 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:10.000 We're over time when we continue to do something that used to work no longer works. 382 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:15.000 All that it is meaning is God saying, look, I want you to start honing it. 383 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:21.400 So instead of spreading yourself out like this, try to hone it to this degree and just work in this quadrant. 384 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.400 And all of a sudden we discover, oh my goodness, it works. 385 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.400 So this wasn't working, but this is working. 386 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:36.400 So apparently what it is that is intention or whatever it is that we're learning from the Lord, it's apparently in this quadrant. 387 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.400 So then we get excited again and then again, that works for the first time or the first three times. 388 00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:47.800 But all of a sudden when it doesn't work anymore, all God's saying is, hey, start honing it, start finding it, 389 00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:55.800 start seeking for it so that you've come to a greater depth of an understanding of what it is I'm actually telling you. 390 00:22:55.800 --> 00:23:03.800 But when we're young, he wants to give us encouragement that at least we're going in the right direction. 391 00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:08.800 So things will work. He provides us a protective environment in which to learn things. 392 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:17.200 So I said all of that so that people would be encouraged when something works for a while that they're learning from the Lord, 393 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.200 and then all of a sudden it doesn't work. 394 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:27.200 Like something's working in their business, especially related to applying operating and rest in their business, 395 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.200 something is working and all of a sudden it's not working. 396 00:23:30.600 --> 00:23:36.600 So we need to understand what it is that is going on and how it is that we can approach it, 397 00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:42.600 that they were still going in the general direction, but now they just need to understand, 398 00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:46.600 now they need to get more God's teaching them how to be more specific. 399 00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:54.600 The benefit of all of that, again, is the fact that a man, as I keep wanting to say the Son of Man, 400 00:23:54.600 --> 00:24:02.000 but a son of God contributes the seed that he contributes with the Lord. 401 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:07.000 When the Lord provides his seed, the seed that we contribute is our intention, 402 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:13.000 that we actually give something of ourselves, and that is our free will, our decision, and our desires. 403 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:20.000 But how can we give that to the Lord unless we know what it is, unless we've matured it to the point? 404 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.000 You're probably familiar with the fact that Sturgeon talks about this. 405 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:29.400 He talks in his conferences, because you and I have been in those, 406 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:36.400 that he talks about the fact that a son of God cannot surrender his will until he's matured it. 407 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:43.400 In other words, he has to know and own what it is he has before he can give it up, 408 00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:46.400 because if he doesn't own it, he doesn't have anything to give. 409 00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:52.800 The same idea here is that God's teaching is maturing us to actually own our own will, 410 00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:56.800 and to own our own intention, and all of that. 411 00:24:56.800 --> 00:24:58.800 I mentioned that. 412 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.000 Some things I talked about, what else did I talk about? 413 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.600 I think I talked about all of that on the first night, 414 00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:11.160 maybe, or maybe some of that on the first night. 415 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:12.720 And then the rest of it on the second night, 416 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:17.680 I talked about prospective clients, 417 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.240 teaching them leadership, things like that. 418 00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.320 Did you ask a question, did somebody ask a question? 419 00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:25.960 I had intruders, they're gone now. 420 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:28.960 Oh, you had intruders, okay. 421 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.520 The library being off limits, it's the playroom. 422 00:25:33.520 --> 00:25:35.880 Oh, that's right, yes, that's right. 423 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.800 Let's see if there's anything 424 00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:45.360 that just like really just jumps out at me. 425 00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:47.040 I talked a lot about leadership. 426 00:25:47.040 --> 00:25:49.040 I think a good, probably half of it, 427 00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:50.240 I talked about leadership, 428 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:55.080 and then I went through a testimony of my own experience 429 00:25:55.120 --> 00:26:00.120 working with that large team, that large company, 430 00:26:00.280 --> 00:26:04.240 and how I learned that leadership 431 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.320 was providing them a safe place to make mistakes, 432 00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:10.200 and how I covered them in their mistakes, 433 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:13.960 and how it felt very counterintuitive, 434 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.920 but it actually taught them that they were safe with me, 435 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.920 and instead of giving up responsibility for themselves, 436 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:27.000 because, well, Ashley just absorbs it all, 437 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.840 I didn't absorb it, 438 00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:33.760 but I gave them a safe place in order to make the mistakes. 439 00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:37.080 So what they ended up doing is they started taking on 440 00:26:37.080 --> 00:26:39.400 more and more of their own ownership 441 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.280 of what it is that they did. 442 00:26:41.280 --> 00:26:46.280 And I affirmed them and gave them room 443 00:26:47.280 --> 00:26:52.280 to contribute their own ideas, 444 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:54.840 and it gave them more ownership 445 00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:58.080 of what it is that they were doing. 446 00:26:58.080 --> 00:26:59.960 Like media little tasks, 447 00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.600 they would take up ownership to the point where, 448 00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:05.440 like over time, because they realized 449 00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.800 that they were safe with me with their mistakes, 450 00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:10.920 so they didn't mind admitting them when they'd done them. 451 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.760 Like I didn't even have to approach them about it, 452 00:27:12.760 --> 00:27:16.080 they would tell me when they had done something. 453 00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.760 And I think they would even get, 454 00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:18.760 if I remember correctly, 455 00:27:18.760 --> 00:27:19.600 they would get to the point 456 00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:21.600 where they wouldn't even defend themselves. 457 00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:22.440 They would just tell me, 458 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:23.280 hey, look, I've done this, 459 00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:24.480 and I'd say, hey, you know what? 460 00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.080 I appreciate you telling me. 461 00:27:26.080 --> 00:27:31.080 So what is your idea of how, 462 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:35.120 what is your solution for how to manage this? 463 00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:36.760 Because now there are consequences 464 00:27:36.760 --> 00:27:38.480 that are being experienced. 465 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.000 I believe that you are saying this 466 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.400 because they just got done having Yana Sanders 467 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:48.080 talk about how children run the Jewish households, 468 00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:51.360 because everything in Jewish culture 469 00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:52.760 wraps everything around the kid, 470 00:27:52.760 --> 00:27:56.560 and the kid is never told to be quiet, 471 00:27:56.560 --> 00:27:59.400 never told to do anything, 472 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.400 but just be a kid, 473 00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.160 and can make all the mistakes they want. 474 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.400 And it's honesty, integrity, and openness 475 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.480 is what they're encouraged to do. 476 00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:13.720 And that the culture is all about 477 00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:17.280 allowing people to have a safe place to make mistakes. 478 00:28:17.280 --> 00:28:19.320 So, I mean, and I'm sitting here going, 479 00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:22.480 what about the scripture of spare the rod, spoil the child? 480 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:29.040 But they said that if you are in trouble, 481 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:35.880 if you're in defiance and rebellion, 482 00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:40.880 they cut off all like comfort or anything that's nurturing, 483 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.120 but you're right there. 484 00:28:44.120 --> 00:28:47.520 So it's like you have a- 485 00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:49.360 No breaking of relationship. 486 00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:50.600 Yes. 487 00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:53.280 And I mean to tell you, 488 00:28:53.280 --> 00:28:56.160 it was really messing with my mind 489 00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:57.920 when they were saying this, 490 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.120 and then here you're saying the same thing. 491 00:29:02.120 --> 00:29:03.320 But I had to learn that. 492 00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:06.160 You understand that that is not how I believed 493 00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:10.000 until I actually had to walk it out. 494 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:13.840 That I did not believe that at all, at all. 495 00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:16.920 And then I found myself in a situation, 496 00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:19.000 I asked the Lord how to handle it. 497 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.960 Because these were people that didn't respect me. 498 00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:23.960 I went from being the lowest man in the totem pole, 499 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.920 not being respected. 500 00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:26.800 Everybody liked me, thank goodness. 501 00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:28.400 But it liked me as a person, 502 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.080 but it didn't respect me professionally. 503 00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:33.160 And for them, professionalism was very, 504 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:34.360 very, very important. 505 00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:38.040 So when I was elevated to actually their manager, 506 00:29:38.040 --> 00:29:40.000 they really struggled with respect to me. 507 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:43.680 They knew that they were supposed to, but they didn't. 508 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.520 And so I asked the Lord, 509 00:29:46.520 --> 00:29:48.680 this is a very difficult situation 510 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:50.120 and I don't know what to do. 511 00:29:50.120 --> 00:29:51.680 So I asked the Lord what to do 512 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.960 because I couldn't think of anybody else in my life 513 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:56.720 that I'd known that had been in that type of a situation, 514 00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.000 that I had known how they handled it 515 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.000 and admired how they handled it. 516 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.760 build it to be able to ask it up. 517 00:30:01.760 --> 00:30:03.760 So I was like, okay, Lord, it's just you and me. 518 00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:08.480 I don't know what to do because I, there was something in me that knew that the 519 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:13.000 way that I would be advised, if I would ask my boss or if I were to get the HR, 520 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.720 or if I'm going to do anything that they would not give me the right, the, the 521 00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:20.160 answers to actually bring life into the situation. 522 00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:21.720 So I just asked the Lord. 523 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.400 And that meant that I was my own, I was sacrificed because I don't 524 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.920 know how this is going to affect me. 525 00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:32.320 And so I, I, I didn't know this. 526 00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:36.440 And so the Lord taught me it by having me walk it out in real life. 527 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:37.440 He didn't teach me it. 528 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.280 And then I was to draw by fire. 529 00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:46.240 Now he prepared me enough in through other situations where I at 530 00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.200 least had something to go in with. 531 00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:53.440 But every time I was all of those other situations as well, he was the one who 532 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.560 was teaching me because people around me were disagreeing with how I would 533 00:30:56.560 --> 00:30:57.640 handle the situation. 534 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.560 So when I got to this very, very extreme one where it was like 45 people, then I 535 00:31:03.560 --> 00:31:05.160 just, I was just thrown into it. 536 00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.440 I'm like, okay, here we go. 537 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:12.560 So anyway, I just say all that to say that I didn't learn this outside of the Lord. 538 00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:18.120 And I, and I learned it from him when I asked him, Lord, how do I handle this 539 00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:18.920 situation? 540 00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:23.720 And it, the answers that he gave sounded very counterintuitive. 541 00:31:24.080 --> 00:31:28.720 And I'm telling you what, they worked with all 45 of them. 542 00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.840 It was wild. 543 00:31:31.040 --> 00:31:32.360 It was just wild. 544 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:33.280 And these were adults. 545 00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:34.440 These weren't even children. 546 00:31:34.800 --> 00:31:38.320 But the point is that they were under me and they needed that kind of 547 00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:39.280 leadership and guidance. 548 00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:40.920 It really is shocking. 549 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.360 It really is shocking because it sounds counterintuitive because it sounds like, 550 00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:46.560 you know, like what you're talking about, spare the rod, spoil the child. 551 00:31:47.280 --> 00:31:52.480 It sounds like you're actually, um, what, uh, what's the word that we use for it? 552 00:31:52.520 --> 00:31:55.600 Uh, enabling, giving them a license. 553 00:31:56.760 --> 00:31:57.280 Yes. 554 00:31:57.600 --> 00:32:02.400 It's that it's licensed to sin that it's enablement, but there's still guidance 555 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.760 within the system or not a system, but there's still guidance within the 556 00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:06.600 relationship. 557 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.520 And they knew that I didn't agree. 558 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.920 And they knew that I, what, that they, they shouldn't have done it, that the 559 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.120 quote unquote shouldn't have done it. 560 00:32:14.560 --> 00:32:21.080 But the way that I, I always ensured that no matter how I, I would, the way that I 561 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:27.760 taught to them is that I is from a place where it was always safe for them to be 562 00:32:27.760 --> 00:32:28.280 them. 563 00:32:28.760 --> 00:32:32.360 And when they knew that it was safe for them to be them and that they were safe 564 00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:38.200 with me, then I could bring correction because it, I, I made sure that it never, 565 00:32:38.280 --> 00:32:43.920 ever, ever was to the point where they questioned my absolute unconditional 566 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:50.040 acceptance, love, and enjoyment, big one enjoyment of them themselves. 567 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:57.120 And that I would not change the way that I treated them, even in the moment, then. 568 00:32:57.520 --> 00:33:02.760 If they had done it perfectly without any mistakes, the difference is that if 569 00:33:02.760 --> 00:33:05.400 they'd done a particular thing that I thought that they needed to do it 570 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.680 differently, then I would give guidance to it. 571 00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.320 And there were, um, sometimes, uh, just natural consequences of the fact that 572 00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:17.400 they would have to correct their mistake, that they never relationally had to be 573 00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:21.560 punished in their relationship with me or the way that I treated them or talk to 574 00:33:21.560 --> 00:33:23.920 them, um, for how it is that they acted. 575 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.760 But I did still bring correction and they still did have to like correct the 576 00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:28.520 mistake. 577 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:34.320 Um, and they didn't like that, but, uh, I would always, I found that they, that 578 00:33:34.320 --> 00:33:38.200 the more that I did that, the more they took ownership and responsibility for 579 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:42.120 what it is that they were for, for things that they would do where they would come 580 00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:45.600 up to me and they would, uh, they would, uh, admit things. 581 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.760 They would point blank, tell me mistakes that they've made. 582 00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:54.440 Um, before I found out about them and, and I was like, okay, because they knew 583 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.840 that they were safe with me to make mistakes, they, they made fewer and fewer 584 00:33:58.840 --> 00:34:01.160 of them because they got to own it for themselves. 585 00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:02.160 It's very interesting. 586 00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:05.360 So it's neat that you said that she was talking about that. 587 00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:05.960 I know. 588 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.320 And it's makes it, I mean, cause I am so dictatorial. 589 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:14.840 So just like Steph said, there's a balance and I agree there's a balance, but it's 590 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:19.440 like, for me, it's like, I've never even thought of doing something like that 591 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:24.320 because, you know, the Bible says you spank a child so that they will grow up, 592 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.840 you know, and, and understand the admonition of the Lord. 593 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.600 So it's like, I haven't ever thought of doing anything but that. 594 00:34:32.600 --> 00:34:37.600 And so they talk about how in Jewish families, the more you did wrong, the 595 00:34:37.600 --> 00:34:41.719 closer you were to the parent, but the less, I mean, like you were grounded to 596 00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:45.560 your father, so if your father went out to mow the grass, you were going 597 00:34:45.560 --> 00:34:46.880 out to mow the grass with that. 598 00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:53.960 I mean, it was just, I mean, so I'm thinking, oh, I don't, that would be a 599 00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:59.800 lot more work on my part as a foster parent to be that committed to the. 600 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.040 troublemakers, I would have troublemakers in my house all 601 00:35:03.040 --> 00:35:03.560 the time. 602 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.400 Yeah, but though, it's also, you know, with your situation, you 603 00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.760 know, you have, you have delegation, you have other 604 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.840 people, you know, kind of like Moses, Moses had all these other 605 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.640 people, he had those over 1000, those are 1000, those are 606 00:35:18.640 --> 00:35:21.920 hundreds, those are tens, or whatever. And, and so everyone 607 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.480 has their particular responsibilities to help, to 608 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:30.120 help not divide, but to delegate the responsibility. 609 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.680 But yeah, that that it's fascinating how they do that, 610 00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:38.080 because it's very important that in disciplining that relationship 611 00:35:38.080 --> 00:35:41.720 is never used as a bartering chip, that relationship was 612 00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:48.560 never held for ransom for a mistake. And anyway, so I think 613 00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:52.760 that that's really neat that the Jewish culture does that. But 614 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:56.880 yeah, what we've what we've done is and we do this with the 615 00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:04.000 gospel as well. We, we use, we use pain and shame, as a 616 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:09.160 motivation for doing good, is always like making the bad 617 00:36:09.160 --> 00:36:13.720 really, really, really bad to help to motivate someone to 618 00:36:13.720 --> 00:36:17.680 escape. So we learn to motivate ourselves when we start 619 00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:19.720 motivating ourselves, and we don't need to be motivated by 620 00:36:19.720 --> 00:36:22.600 our parents anymore, or, you know, send to school or 621 00:36:22.600 --> 00:36:27.680 whatever, that we we learn to motivate our own selves by 622 00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:33.600 shame, and by pain. And that's one of the reasons why it's hard 623 00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:35.400 for people like and I'm just throwing this one out there 624 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.600 because this has come up multiple times people have asked 625 00:36:38.600 --> 00:36:43.960 me about this. It's why people struggle with like diet, it's 626 00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:47.160 always in order to escape the way that they currently feel or 627 00:36:47.160 --> 00:36:50.360 the way that they currently are, as opposed to something 628 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.280 that they want for themselves and something that they want to 629 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.440 be. And it's a lot more difficult to approach life like 630 00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:00.720 that. And no wonder we get frustrated with with diets and 631 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:04.800 Oh, you mean I can't eat this and I can't eat do that. It's 632 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.440 the we've we've trained ourselves to motivate ourselves 633 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.560 by what it is that we're trying to avoid or escape from as 634 00:37:11.560 --> 00:37:14.280 opposed to something that we're moving towards. So and that's 635 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.240 the whole point of the relationship and disciplining 636 00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:22.080 from that, that perspective, is instead of telling someone 637 00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:26.880 instead of shaming one, the one who's done wrong, to the point 638 00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.560 where they they feel ashamed enough, in order to be 639 00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:35.040 motivated, they what we want is for them to be motivated by 640 00:37:35.040 --> 00:37:40.360 love. And that's part of that, that requirement of even closer 641 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:43.600 connection and relationship with the father because at 642 00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:48.760 Well, then you're there you are going to because that motivates 643 00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:53.560 one to look more like their father, as opposed to not be 644 00:37:53.560 --> 00:37:57.320 like what it is they were doing. By being closer to their father 645 00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.640 and being like their father, they're moving further away 646 00:37:59.640 --> 00:38:03.960 from this instead of having to exert the effort that's required 647 00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:08.160 to push themselves away from this, they can naturally be 648 00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:12.280 drawn and attracted to something forward. So I think that's cool. 649 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.520 I don't know that I knew that about Jewish culture. 650 00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.360 Well, I sure didn't know it, because I would have thought 651 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.680 they would be a lot stricter than then. But they said, in 652 00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:27.240 Israel, if you hit a child, you can go immediately to jail. And 653 00:38:27.240 --> 00:38:32.400 if you hit a child in Israel, the law says that the person who 654 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.880 saw you hit the child can take the responsibility of raising 655 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:42.000 that child. And so if you go over there as a foreigner, you 656 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.840 can have your child taken away from you if you show any level 657 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:52.800 of abuse. Wow, it's a serious crime. And that's why it's, I 658 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:56.800 mean, frowned upon so much because you don't ever you 659 00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:59.680 there's lots of other ways to discipline a child, but yelling 660 00:38:59.680 --> 00:39:02.480 or striking them is not anything allowed. 661 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:09.080 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And like what Steph was saying, 662 00:39:09.080 --> 00:39:11.720 let's see, what was she saying? She's saying there's definitely 663 00:39:11.720 --> 00:39:16.000 balance. I grew up terrified of messing up. Yes, that makes 664 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:23.560 sense. Again, that increase of shame and pain for something 665 00:39:23.560 --> 00:39:26.920 that someone has done that is that is believed to be, you 666 00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:33.000 know, that's believed to be wrong, and incites more shame 667 00:39:33.040 --> 00:39:36.880 instead of a closeness of relationship. So that's why it's 668 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:42.960 thing. It's just people can just be so absolutely terrified of 669 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:46.400 messing up, it increases the shame and condemnation. Somebody 670 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.440 was asking me, this is like a year ago, somebody was asking 671 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:55.000 me, so Ashley, how do we tell teach our children to know about 672 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.320 the gospel, and the wonderfulness of the gospel? If 673 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.000 without teaching them how bad of a sinner that they are. 674 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:11.240 And I was like, oh my, I was like, well, 675 00:40:11.240 --> 00:40:14.360 that's that, and then I mentioned the whole thing of like, 676 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:18.760 well, we want, the reason that the gospel is wonderful 677 00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:20.600 is because of what it is. 678 00:40:20.600 --> 00:40:22.200 It's because of the love. 679 00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:24.100 It's because of what we're moving towards. 680 00:40:24.100 --> 00:40:26.800 It's not because the other's bad. 681 00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:29.880 And therefore the gospel is the better alternative. 682 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.120 The gospel is not a better alternative. 683 00:40:32.120 --> 00:40:35.160 The gospel is wonderful just being what it is. 684 00:40:35.160 --> 00:40:37.720 So we don't need the presence and the existence 685 00:40:37.720 --> 00:40:41.320 of darkness in order for light to be wonderful. 686 00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.800 And I'm using light and darkness as just an example. 687 00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:46.140 There's nothing wrong with darkness, 688 00:40:46.140 --> 00:40:50.760 but just the fact of like referring to the evil, evil. 689 00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:54.320 So good isn't good because it's not as bad as evil is. 690 00:40:55.200 --> 00:40:57.120 No, it's good because it's just good. 691 00:40:57.120 --> 00:40:59.000 It's good because of what it is. 692 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:04.000 There is a philosophy referred to as deconstructionism 693 00:41:05.080 --> 00:41:10.080 that I was absolutely horrified about 694 00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:14.680 when I heard this in college. 695 00:41:14.680 --> 00:41:18.820 And the idea of the philosophy of deconstructionism 696 00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:23.680 is the idea that A is A, you know, like the letter A. 697 00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:26.740 The letter A is A simply because it's not B. 698 00:41:27.660 --> 00:41:30.660 So in other words, everything receives its value 699 00:41:30.660 --> 00:41:32.900 because of everything that it's not. 700 00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:36.300 Well, that means that nothing has value 701 00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:38.180 because it can't have any value 702 00:41:38.180 --> 00:41:41.540 unless everything else exists and it's not that thing. 703 00:41:41.540 --> 00:41:42.940 It's not all those other things. 704 00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:44.020 It's horrible. 705 00:41:44.020 --> 00:41:46.620 I mean, it actually made my skin crawl 706 00:41:46.620 --> 00:41:49.580 when I heard about such a horrible, horrible idea. 707 00:41:49.580 --> 00:41:54.580 And that's what the idea of motivating people 708 00:41:55.580 --> 00:42:00.580 for the gospel or to live in, 709 00:42:05.780 --> 00:42:10.780 can't think of the word, but to live non-destructive lives. 710 00:42:10.980 --> 00:42:13.860 In other words, lives that are not destructive to them, 711 00:42:13.860 --> 00:42:16.340 but actually are very enriching lives. 712 00:42:18.180 --> 00:42:19.020 Excuse me. 713 00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:22.700 Where was I going with that? 714 00:42:22.700 --> 00:42:25.660 But just that all of that is, 715 00:42:25.660 --> 00:42:29.060 that to motivate by the shame 716 00:42:29.060 --> 00:42:31.860 and by everything that it shouldn't be, 717 00:42:31.860 --> 00:42:34.980 as opposed to it being beautiful and wonderful 718 00:42:34.980 --> 00:42:36.620 and being attractive, 719 00:42:36.620 --> 00:42:39.380 that is something very positive to be drawn towards. 720 00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:42.140 Everything else is a very destructive, 721 00:42:42.140 --> 00:42:45.820 very demeaning way to push someone towards 722 00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:47.860 or to encourage someone towards something. 723 00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:49.940 They should be encouraged towards it 724 00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:52.140 as opposed to be shamed from it. 725 00:42:53.180 --> 00:42:55.460 But anyway, so we use that in the gospel as well. 726 00:42:55.460 --> 00:42:57.300 It's just really weird, very sad. 727 00:42:57.300 --> 00:42:58.980 But I've noticed that people, 728 00:42:58.980 --> 00:43:00.980 when they learn about rest 729 00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:03.180 and they learned about all of the freedom, 730 00:43:03.180 --> 00:43:06.860 I mean, because the things that we talk about 731 00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:09.660 in rest and in freedom are all wonderful. 732 00:43:09.660 --> 00:43:11.300 They're all, oh my goodness, this is great. 733 00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:13.220 And wouldn't you like this, and dah, dah, dah. 734 00:43:13.220 --> 00:43:15.780 And you would think that it gives people, 735 00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:18.700 makes people feel like they now have a license to kill 736 00:43:20.100 --> 00:43:22.660 because oh my word, everything is just so free. 737 00:43:23.620 --> 00:43:24.460 It's so wonderful. 738 00:43:24.460 --> 00:43:27.500 And it doesn't, it does the opposite. 739 00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:29.540 It makes them not want to do the other things 740 00:43:29.540 --> 00:43:31.340 because they now no longer have a need to, 741 00:43:31.340 --> 00:43:32.820 because the only reason that they were doing 742 00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:35.980 all those other things was to get what this can get them. 743 00:43:35.980 --> 00:43:37.820 And now that they realize that they have this, 744 00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:40.740 they no longer need this to get them this. 745 00:43:40.740 --> 00:43:42.860 So it's really, really fascinating. 746 00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:44.700 But yeah, we did the same thing with our children 747 00:43:44.700 --> 00:43:45.900 because we think that that's what the Lord 748 00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:50.860 tells us to do with us or our employees or whatever. 749 00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:53.420 So when I had to handle, 750 00:43:53.420 --> 00:43:55.660 learn to handle my employees like that 751 00:43:55.660 --> 00:44:00.180 and learn to risk very, very big things, 752 00:44:00.180 --> 00:44:03.100 very big projects, very big deadlines 753 00:44:03.100 --> 00:44:08.060 on what could potentially be their mistakes. 754 00:44:08.060 --> 00:44:10.460 Then, and then I took the fall for it. 755 00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:12.180 You know, those were really big decisions 756 00:44:12.180 --> 00:44:13.500 that I had to make. 757 00:44:13.500 --> 00:44:16.660 And I chose it because I believed 758 00:44:16.660 --> 00:44:19.900 that what I was hearing was from the Lord 759 00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:22.620 and that the Lord always speaks the truth. 760 00:44:23.580 --> 00:44:28.580 And I actually saw it manifest and work out 761 00:44:30.300 --> 00:44:32.020 to the point where they didn't want me 762 00:44:32.020 --> 00:44:33.820 to leave that position. 763 00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:35.500 And after I left that position, 764 00:44:35.500 --> 00:44:39.300 everything kind of started, everything tanked. 765 00:44:39.300 --> 00:44:41.540 I mean, like really bad tanked. 766 00:44:41.540 --> 00:44:46.300 And I really tried, I don't remember how many pages 767 00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:51.300 that I wrote of encouragement, instruction, 768 00:44:53.540 --> 00:44:56.420 whatever to the guy who was taking it over. 769 00:44:56.420 --> 00:44:58.340 But I not only explained to him, 770 00:44:58.340 --> 00:45:00.580 hey, look, you know, this is how the process. 771 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:14.000 So when you step into my position, this is how it's not just how the process works, but this is how I recommend handling the people, handling them like this, because it will, this is how they're used to it, you will get more out of them this way. 772 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:27.000 But he had no grid, even though he was a Christian, he had no grid for what it was that I was talking about so he just very kindly received it from me, but I don't, but he didn't seem to implement it. 773 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:38.000 So, everything just really, really changed the, they didn't get the same quality of product, they didn't, they didn't have the deadlines. 774 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:41.000 It was they didn't get as much done. 775 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.000 Yeah, whatever. 776 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:51.000 I just wanted to empower the people, and I knew that they had, they were the ones who could deliver. 777 00:45:51.000 --> 00:46:06.000 It wasn't me micromanaging things in such a way in in wisdom and all knowledge that can actually make it work. It was me, giving up the control to them. 778 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:11.000 That would actually make it as the most successful. 779 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:27.000 If I micromanaged everything, it could have been successful, but it would have been a lot of work, a lot of work, and it would not have been as successful because I would have had to be doing it from the tree of knowledge of an evil and that's just at least 10 times 780 00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:32.000 harder, and I'm very limited, but doing it in spirit, it's unlimited. 781 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.000 So, anyway. 782 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:37.000 That's really cool that she talked about that. 783 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:54.000 But anyway, and also talked about in providing people a supportive environment for them to rise up, not to be raised up that we don't raise up people, we provide them and a leader provides them with when they're putting the power and the authority that they 784 00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:23.000 They then provide them with an environment that that protective environment that's different than if they were out from under that environment, they provide them with a protective environment for them to see who it is that they are and to be safe enough to rise up to that position and choose to do it on their own, as opposed to micromanaging and controlling and trying to raise them up a lot less effort on my part, but it does require more sacrifice. 785 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:31.000 So, giving up more control, but then they also choose to do it for themselves in that type of environment. 786 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.000 Instead of being convinced. 787 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.000 That's another thing I talked about talked about not convincing people. 788 00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:46.000 And anyway, those are some things that I talked about. 789 00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:54.000 Thank you. I am so busted in both those areas, I'm going to have to rethink how I lead. 790 00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:01.000 And well, yeah, I mean we were taught a particular way and we were led a particular way. 791 00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.000 And so that's all we know. 792 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:10.000 And that's what that's where we saw not only success, but that's what was rewarded. 793 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:18.000 And that's what everybody else agreed with. And that's, those are the peak type of people that were promoted were those that led like that. 794 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:21.000 So it's no wonder it was fostered in us. 795 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:35.000 And so, you know, how we were raised and whatever but I just realized I was in a very difficult situation, and I didn't know how to handle it. And so it's like okay Lord you have something new, different. 796 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:47.000 I'm supposed to try. And it worked. So, and it wasn't just that situation I did it and a whole bunch of other situations I just use that one because it was a very extreme one that just highlighted it a lot. 797 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.000 But there was something else I mentioned. 798 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:59.000 Say something about 799 00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.000 what that was. 800 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:03.000 I said something just now. 801 00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.000 You have any questions. 802 00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:07.000 Yeah. Do you have anything. 803 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:12.000 It's just the three of us online it's interesting. You're good. 804 00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:16.000 What time is it. Oh wow, it's almost time. 805 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:19.000 Oh, there was something else I was going to say. 806 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:26.000 So are you going to still plan on doing it on Thursdays or is it going to rotate around depending on where you are in the world. 807 00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:32.000 Yes, a good question. So I was just telling stuff I'm not even sure it's going to be weekly. 808 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:45.000 Their time difference between here in Turkey is is eight hours. So, eight o'clock Central Standard Time is four o'clock in the morning. I'm sorry I'm not going to get up. 809 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.000 Every Thursday. 810 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:51.000 Or I should say for me that would be Friday morning. 811 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:59.000 So I would just, I don't really know. I think I'm going to get over there and make a decision about what to do. 812 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.920 I thought about the fact that I might just pick a time and then just post it so it's not going to 813 00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:13.920 be regularly scheduled and just mention, hey, by the way, you know, planning to do it on such and 814 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:21.520 such a time and anybody has any questions or so it may be more random or it might be 815 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:29.120 scheduled but once a month or something. So hopefully, the fact that there's only two on 816 00:50:29.120 --> 00:50:36.320 here tonight means that people, you know, and even y'all, you know, aren't always on here. 817 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:44.080 So sometimes y'all miss weeks. Hopefully, that means that people are more, I don't know, just 818 00:50:44.080 --> 00:50:49.040 owning this and their relationship with the Lord and that I'm not as needed, which is wonderful. 819 00:50:49.040 --> 00:50:54.160 So I can, like, spread out the times that I provide people opportunities to jump on and 820 00:50:54.160 --> 00:51:00.960 ask questions. You could have a forum that people ask their questions on that Facebook page 821 00:51:01.600 --> 00:51:08.160 and then you just answered the questions that in that way on the Facebook page. So then anybody 822 00:51:08.160 --> 00:51:11.200 could read the different questions that they would have and then you could just answer them 823 00:51:11.200 --> 00:51:18.400 whenever you were available. Yes, yes, thank you. So I, that is what is currently available for 824 00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:23.440 people to do in the Facebook group so they can ask those questions and I answer them there. 825 00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:29.760 The reason that I have, and then yes, Steph, I do still have Marco Polo. The reason why I had 826 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:36.480 these particular calls is it gave people an honor, an opportunity to see each other and kind of like 827 00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:43.440 have an aspect of community where we all get on but I may, it might just be one of those times 828 00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:49.840 where something ends up changing and I'm thinking, oh but Lord, I don't want this part to change and 829 00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:56.320 he's like, no, but it's time for this to change. This might be one of those things. I just run into 830 00:51:56.320 --> 00:52:00.160 them every now and then where Lord say, okay, I was thinking that we've been doing this for a while 831 00:52:00.160 --> 00:52:04.560 and it needs to change. So it might be one of those times, this might be one of those things 832 00:52:04.560 --> 00:52:10.640 where we don't do them anymore or do them as often. So and then in between times, like you said, 833 00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:18.240 people can ask questions in the forum. People can ask questions in the Facebook feed. 834 00:52:18.240 --> 00:52:26.000 By the way, FYI, I am moving the group, I plan to move the group off of Facebook and I'm working on it 835 00:52:26.720 --> 00:52:35.120 on, excuse me, I'm doing that actually right now. I was hoping to have it all done before I left, 836 00:52:35.120 --> 00:52:39.440 but that didn't happen, but I'm still literally in the middle of it. Even as we speak, I have 837 00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:46.080 something running on my computer that is part of the process of trying to move things off of 838 00:52:46.080 --> 00:52:55.120 Facebook and onto a website. So anyway, if you like this, yeah. Oh, I'm glad. I'm glad that 839 00:52:55.120 --> 00:53:00.320 y'all enjoy it. See, I think it's nice. Maybe we just need to continue to do it and just do it like 840 00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:07.040 once a month instead of once a week. So then we can have the benefit of both. We have the aspect of 841 00:53:07.600 --> 00:53:13.920 I'm available to answer questions in the group and then we get the community aspect about once a month. 842 00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:20.240 You just be led of the Lord and we will all be okay. Sweet. I appreciate the affirmation. 843 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:26.880 I appreciate that. Yeah, but I always look forward to it every Thursday, getting together with all 844 00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:34.560 y'all. Excuse me. So it's really fun for me to get to interact with everyone, especially people 845 00:53:34.560 --> 00:53:39.520 that I'm not in the private consultations with anymore. It's fun to get to see and interact with 846 00:53:39.520 --> 00:53:47.360 everyone. Yeah. Well, that is all I had for tonight because I can't think of what that other 847 00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:55.040 thing was that I was going to get. I was going to. Oh, that's what it was. Go ahead. My 848 00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:03.040 youngest came in and said, I'm missing the fire, so I better get going to the fire. Okay. All right. 849 00:54:03.040 --> 00:54:08.880 Well, you have fun. Roast marshmallows or whatever y'all are going to do out there. All right. Bye-bye. 850 00:54:10.080 --> 00:54:15.280 Bye. Is there anything else from you, Steph, before you leave? 851 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:22.480 I think I'm good. Hiding in the dark here. Good. 852 00:54:25.200 --> 00:54:29.760 Everybody went to bed on me, so I'm like hiding out. 853 00:54:31.200 --> 00:54:35.200 Oh, but just one second. Let me turn this off.
