Heart circling church rows are brick walls with signed
00:35:34.740 --> 00:35:35.240
Brick walls with signed conviction that read like great
00:35:35.374 --> 00:35:38.076
Conviction that read like great commission graffiti running
00:35:38.210 --> 00:35:38.744
Commission graffiti running with evangelism focus and
00:35:38.877 --> 00:35:42.281
With evangelism focus and training.
00:35:42.414 --> 00:35:42.648
Training. that includes their current
00:35:42.781 --> 00:35:43.315
That includes their current initiative just for our ever
00:35:43.448 --> 00:35:46.385
Initiative just for our ever broadening and distinct
00:35:46.518 --> 00:35:46.985
Broadening and distinct generational.
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:49.755
Generational. just one.
00:35:49.888 --> 00:35:50.122
Just one. jesus spoke as a shepherd going
00:35:50.255 --> 00:35:53.358
Jesus spoke as a shepherd going after that one sheep.
00:35:53.492 --> 00:35:53.959
After that one sheep. are we distracted by the volume
00:35:54.092 --> 00:35:58.163
Are we distracted by the volume and the scoreboard walking away
00:35:58.297 --> 00:35:58.931
And the scoreboard walking away which at the core of the
00:35:59.064 --> 00:36:01.466
Which at the core of the kingdom of heaven?
00:36:01.600 --> 00:36:02.000
Kingdom of heaven? i think sometimes church gets
00:36:02.134 --> 00:36:04.836
I think sometimes church gets away from the great commission
00:36:04.970 --> 00:36:08.707
Away from the great commission jesus came said if you follow
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.508
Jesus came said if you follow me i'll make you fishers of
00:36:09.641 --> 00:36:10.208
Me i'll make you fishers of men.
00:36:10.342 --> 00:36:10.475
Men. if you're not fishing you're
00:36:10.609 --> 00:36:12.844
If you're not fishing you're not following it.
00:36:12.978 --> 00:36:13.345
Not following it. our discipleship needs to be
00:36:13.478 --> 00:36:14.079
Our discipleship needs to be following jesus in his
00:36:14.212 --> 00:36:14.680
Following jesus in his footsteps what he did which is
00:36:14.813 --> 00:36:17.616
Footsteps what he did which is see you can save the loss.
00:36:17.749 --> 00:36:18.283
See you can save the loss. if you don't do evangelism
00:36:18.417 --> 00:36:21.119
If you don't do evangelism church your church is going to
00:36:21.253 --> 00:36:21.887
Church your church is going to die.
00:36:22.020 --> 00:36:22.154
Die. now unless you get transfers
00:36:22.287 --> 00:36:22.854
Now unless you get transfers from other churches just
00:36:22.988 --> 00:36:24.156
From other churches just shuffling people and the
00:36:24.289 --> 00:36:24.790
Shuffling people and the kingdom of god is not really
00:36:24.923 --> 00:36:25.524
Kingdom of god is not really necessarily growing just
00:36:25.657 --> 00:36:26.158
Necessarily growing just because you you have more
00:36:26.291 --> 00:36:28.527
Because you you have more people in your church.
00:36:28.660 --> 00:36:29.127
People in your church. and so we exist for the people
00:36:29.261 --> 00:36:29.895
And so we exist for the people who are not in it yet it yet to
00:36:30.028 --> 00:36:31.663
Who are not in it yet it yet to get them in it so they can be
00:36:31.797 --> 00:36:32.464
Get them in it so they can be transformed into the image of
00:36:32.598 --> 00:36:33.198
Transformed into the image of god and then and get somebody
00:36:33.332 --> 00:36:35.500
God and then and get somebody else.
00:36:35.634 --> 00:36:35.801
Else. are we forgetting about in our
00:36:35.934 --> 00:36:36.568
Are we forgetting about in our messaging authentically loving?
00:36:36.702 --> 00:36:39.104
Messaging authentically loving? i think that's where we miss it
00:36:39.237 --> 00:36:42.140
I think that's where we miss it it.
00:36:42.274 --> 00:36:42.541
It. we think we have to win an
00:36:42.674 --> 00:36:43.342
We think we have to win an argument versus win a
00:36:43.475 --> 00:36:43.909
Argument versus win a relationship that doesn't
00:36:44.042 --> 00:36:44.543
Relationship that doesn't represent god.
00:36:44.676 --> 00:36:46.311
Represent god. jesus never did that.
00:36:46.445 --> 00:36:46.878
Jesus never did that. i think that we underestimate
00:36:47.012 --> 00:36:50.048
I think that we underestimate the power of simply loving
00:36:50.182 --> 00:36:50.749
The power of simply loving people biblically.
00:36:50.882 --> 00:36:51.249
People biblically. it doesn't mean that with
00:36:51.383 --> 00:36:55.187
It doesn't mean that with everything you do it means how
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.921
Everything you do it means how are we loving our broken world
00:36:56.054 --> 00:36:56.688
Are we loving our broken world not how are we loving our
00:36:56.822 --> 00:36:58.890
Not how are we loving our friends who believe what we
00:36:59.024 --> 00:36:59.591
Friends who believe what we believe?
00:36:59.725 --> 00:36:59.925
Believe? only the way i can love you is
00:37:00.058 --> 00:37:00.659
Only the way i can love you is help you obey god in a very
00:37:00.792 --> 00:37:02.661
Help you obey god in a very kind, generous way.
00:37:02.794 --> 00:37:03.228
Kind, generous way. take god's love for the purpose
00:37:03.362 --> 00:37:06.064
Take god's love for the purpose bringing people to him.
00:37:06.198 --> 00:37:06.698
Bringing people to him. >> if the same spirit that
00:37:06.832 --> 00:37:07.466
>> if the same spirit that raised christ the dead dwells
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.502
Raised christ the dead dwells in us, why are we often bullied
00:37:10.636 --> 00:37:11.370
In us, why are we often bullied or have past our insecurities
00:37:11.503 --> 00:37:14.640
Or have past our insecurities to just declare what we know in
00:37:14.773 --> 00:37:15.440
To just declare what we know in our own life?
00:37:15.574 --> 00:37:17.709
Our own life? >> the spiritual warfare that
00:37:17.843 --> 00:37:18.443
>> the spiritual warfare that we're in and the messaging of
00:37:18.577 --> 00:37:22.047
We're in and the messaging of the world that christianity
00:37:22.180 --> 00:37:22.748
The world that christianity should put your light under the
00:37:22.881 --> 00:37:23.482
Should put your light under the bush.
00:37:23.615 --> 00:37:25.784
Bush. i don't think we realize how
00:37:25.917 --> 00:37:26.518
I don't think we realize how much spiritual forces of
00:37:26.652 --> 00:37:27.152
Much spiritual forces of darkness play in that.
00:37:27.285 --> 00:37:29.621
Darkness play in that. people go to church, they go
00:37:29.755 --> 00:37:30.355
People go to church, they go home, how much time they really
00:37:30.489 --> 00:37:31.156
Home, how much time they really spend praying, fighting the
00:37:31.289 --> 00:37:33.525
Spend praying, fighting the spiritual warfare in their
00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:34.192
Spiritual warfare in their life, reading the bible,
00:37:34.326 --> 00:37:34.826
Life, reading the bible, memorizing scripture the word
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.362
Memorizing scripture the word of god is the truth.
00:37:37.496 --> 00:37:37.929
Of god is the truth. we bought too much into
00:37:38.063 --> 00:37:38.764
We bought too much into society's idea that everybody
00:37:38.897 --> 00:37:41.566
Society's idea that everybody should have their own truth and
00:37:41.700 --> 00:37:42.300
Should have their own truth and let it be use mission
00:37:42.434 --> 00:37:45.704
Let it be use mission mindedness in the marketplace.
00:37:45.837 --> 00:37:46.438
Mindedness in the marketplace. a lost art it's l-o-v-e.

What did jesus said i didn't come to be served but to serve
00:38:01.186 --> 00:38:01.820
Come to be served but to serve and get my life as a ransom.
00:38:01.953 --> 00:38:02.554
And get my life as a ransom. v as place value on the
00:38:02.688 --> 00:38:04.790
V as place value on the humanity.

Number one influence on young people sharing their faith is
00:39:47.359 --> 00:39:47.926
People sharing their faith is watching adults do it when they

Watching adults do it when they see us doing it from modeling.

Specifically senior leadership in genuine accountability
00:40:14.419 --> 00:40:18.056
In genuine accountability eliminating public failure that
00:40:18.190 --> 00:40:18.824
Eliminating public failure that sends the wrong message?
00:40:18.957 --> 00:40:22.093
Sends the wrong message? >> the end of the day i have to

>> the end of the day i have to keep myself accountable there's
00:40:23.361 --> 00:40:26.064
Keep myself accountable there's only so much other people can

Only so much other people can do.

Do. leaders are accountable to god

Leaders are accountable to god and it's on me.

And it's on me. it's about as we systems in

Place and praying that your pastor and leaders are people

Pastor and leaders are people of integrity they make a
00:40:37.342 --> 00:40:37.843
Of integrity they make a mistake to be able to humbly
00:40:37.976 --> 00:40:38.677
Mistake to be able to humbly say i own it.
00:40:38.810 --> 00:40:42.147
Say i own it. we can read the signs of the

Times. are we living in a historic
00:40:45.383 --> 00:40:46.084
Are we living in a historic moment for such a time as this?
00:40:46.218 --> 00:40:49.688
Moment for such a time as this? i think that we need to pay
00:40:49.821 --> 00:40:52.891
I think that we need to pay attention to what's happening.
00:40:53.024 --> 00:40:53.658
Attention to what's happening. there's definitely a revival
00:40:53.792 --> 00:40:54.359
There's definitely a revival happening with young but i also
00:40:54.492 --> 00:40:57.729
Happening with young but i also think there's an attack on the
00:40:57.863 --> 00:40:58.496
Think there's an attack on the human with ai the robots and
00:40:58.630 --> 00:41:01.132
Human with ai the robots and the image of god is being
00:41:01.266 --> 00:41:01.800
The image of god is being attacked.
00:41:01.933 --> 00:41:02.167
Attacked. god man in his image being
00:41:02.300 --> 00:41:05.203
God man in his image being image bearers as laborers.
00:41:05.337 --> 00:41:08.440
Image bearers as laborers. so you have an attack on the
00:41:08.573 --> 00:41:09.307
So you have an attack on the image of god and you have this
00:41:09.441 --> 00:41:10.275
Image of god and you have this revival and you have this
00:41:10.408 --> 00:41:12.510
Revival and you have this movement to eliminate people.
00:41:12.644 --> 00:41:16.081
Movement to eliminate people. those two things are coming to
00:41:16.214 --> 00:41:16.848
Those two things are coming to a head and we should wake up
00:41:16.982 --> 00:41:17.616
A head and we should wake up and say i want to to be on the

00:45:15.326 --> 00:45:18.429
Men gave the women whatever they wanted and that's what i
00:45:18.562 --> 00:45:19.196
They wanted and that's what i expected also.
00:45:19.330 --> 00:45:19.630
Expected also. our world views were so
00:45:19.763 --> 00:45:22.967
Our world views were so different and we really didn't
00:45:23.100 --> 00:45:26.637
Different and we really didn't live like a married couple.
00:45:26.770 --> 00:45:27.338
Live like a married couple. we were more like roommates.
00:45:27.471 --> 00:45:28.072
We were more like roommates. we just i think i think there
00:45:28.205 --> 00:45:30.808
We just i think i think there was always a spark of love
00:45:30.941 --> 00:45:31.509
Was always a spark of love there but we just didn't like
00:45:31.642 --> 00:45:32.276
There but we just didn't like each.
00:45:32.409 --> 00:45:33.844
Each. i think we both wanted to be
00:45:33.978 --> 00:45:34.812
I think we both wanted to be right and we both couldn't
00:45:34.945 --> 00:45:37.515
Right and we both couldn't understand why the other person
00:45:37.648 --> 00:45:38.249
Understand why the other person wasn't thinking the same as
00:45:38.382 --> 00:45:41.385
Wasn't thinking the same as carol became more and more
00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:42.086
Carol became more and more bitter.
00:45:42.219 --> 00:45:42.419
Bitter. >> i through drinking alcohol
00:45:42.553 --> 00:45:45.189

00:45:45.322 --> 00:45:45.689
And staying gone. i was a pilot.

I was a pilot. i was able to pick up the
00:45:49.260 --> 00:45:49.960
I was able to pick up the longest trips i could pick up
00:45:50.094 --> 00:45:52.429
Longest trips i could pick up our stages go on as much as i
00:45:52.563 --> 00:45:53.297
Our stages go on as much as i could.
00:45:53.430 --> 00:45:53.597
Could. >> the more that that i tried
00:45:53.731 --> 00:45:56.000

00:45:56.133 --> 00:45:56.767
To change him the more that he stonewalled.
00:45:56.901 --> 00:45:57.168
Stonewalled. he and that's why he didn't
00:45:57.301 --> 00:45:59.570
He and that's why he didn't even want to come home.
00:45:59.703 --> 00:46:00.204
Even want to come home. just seemed to dole the pain.
00:46:02.540 --> 00:46:03.374
Just seemed to dole the pain. drinking was a real problem.
00:46:03.507 --> 00:46:06.744
Drinking was a real problem. >> if he had one drink he was
00:46:06.877 --> 00:46:07.711
>> if he had one drink he was going to have ten drinks and
00:46:07.845 --> 00:46:09.446
Going to have ten drinks and then he would just not be be
00:46:09.580 --> 00:46:13.217
Then he would just not be be fun to be around for the next
00:46:13.350 --> 00:46:13.984
Fun to be around for the next 15 years.
00:46:14.118 --> 00:46:14.351
15 years. >> we drifted further and

Further apart. >> we sort of settled into was

I just knew god were speaking to me.
00:46:39.810 --> 00:46:39.977
To me. god was telling me, bob, it's

God was telling me, bob, it's time to get off the fence.
00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:43.514
Time to get off the fence. it's to quit drinking.
00:46:43.647 --> 00:46:46.217
It's to quit drinking. >> and it was just probably the

00:47:02.967 --> 00:47:05.269
Sounds really good. i don't really know that that's
00:47:05.402 --> 00:47:06.070
I don't really know that that's going to happen but one could
00:47:06.203 --> 00:47:07.805
Going to happen but one could only hope.
00:47:07.938 --> 00:47:08.172
Only hope. bob went to start the boat up
00:47:08.305 --> 00:47:11.875
Bob went to start the boat up but the engine was dead.
00:47:12.009 --> 00:47:12.509
But the engine was dead. >> there was a fuel leak and
00:47:12.643 --> 00:47:14.979

00:47:15.112 --> 00:47:15.746
And i fixed the fuel leak, cleaned everything up and i
00:47:15.879 --> 00:47:19.016
Cleaned everything up and i thought everything was going to
00:47:19.149 --> 00:47:19.783
Thought everything was going to be fine.
00:47:19.917 --> 00:47:25.756
Be fine. >> bob hit the starter switch.

The boat exploded, blew up flames everywhere and
00:47:27.391 --> 00:47:27.825
Flames everywhere and terrorized looked at her and
00:47:27.958 --> 00:47:31.061
Terrorized looked at her and she was actually flying
00:47:31.195 --> 00:47:31.695
She was actually flying backward off the boat and i'm
00:47:31.829 --> 00:47:35.666
Backward off the boat and i'm guessing probably 20 or 25 feet
00:47:35.799 --> 00:47:38.002
Guessing probably 20 or 25 feet from the boat.
00:47:38.135 --> 00:47:38.435
From the boat. she was just in the air going
00:47:38.569 --> 00:47:39.403

Backwards. since i wasn't a swimmer i
00:47:41.372 --> 00:47:41.972
Since i wasn't a swimmer i didn't have a life jacket on.
00:47:42.106 --> 00:47:44.742
Didn't have a life jacket on. i was pretty sure i would drown
00:47:44.875 --> 00:47:45.643
I was pretty sure i would drown and that's when i cried out to
00:47:45.776 --> 00:47:46.577
And that's when i cried out to god and i said lord, please
00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:48.679
God and i said lord, please don't let it end like this.
00:47:48.812 --> 00:47:51.615
Don't let it end like this. >> i was completely surrounded

00:48:00.824 --> 00:48:03.160
It was serene. just looking around looking at
00:48:03.294 --> 00:48:03.894
Just looking around looking at a burning boat not
00:48:04.028 --> 00:48:06.563
A burning boat not understanding what was really
00:48:06.697 --> 00:48:07.298
Understanding what was really happening at the moment.
00:48:07.431 --> 00:48:10.234
Happening at the moment. nearby boaters saw the accident
00:48:10.367 --> 00:48:10.968

She spent a in the hospital recovering and the near-death
00:48:25.683 --> 00:48:26.250
Recovering and the near-death experience was a wake up call
00:48:26.383 --> 00:48:29.019
Experience was a wake up call for both of us.
00:48:29.153 --> 00:48:29.520
For both of us. we knew that that saved us for
00:48:29.653 --> 00:48:33.223
We knew that that saved us for a purpose.
00:48:33.357 --> 00:48:33.624
A purpose. there was just no question
00:48:33.757 --> 00:48:34.325
There was just no question about it.
00:48:34.458 --> 00:48:34.692
About it. carol and i were in total
00:48:34.825 --> 00:48:36.427
Carol and i were in total agreement on that.

Love even though the marriage wasn't good, we were both
00:48:44.234 --> 00:48:46.904
Wasn't good, we were both immediately on board to find a

Immediately on board to find a way to have a good marriage.
00:48:47.871 --> 00:48:51.108
Way to have a good marriage. we just immersed ourselves in
00:48:51.241 --> 00:48:51.842
We just immersed ourselves in god's word and everything we
00:48:51.975 --> 00:48:54.712
God's word and everything we could do to get closer to jesus
00:48:54.845 --> 00:48:57.815

We began a faith journey day. >> god was teaching me things
00:49:02.419 --> 00:49:03.087
>> god was teaching me things that i didn't know about myself
00:49:03.220 --> 00:49:06.023
That i didn't know about myself and bob was doing the same
00:49:06.156 --> 00:49:06.857
And bob was doing the same thing.
00:49:06.990 --> 00:49:07.157
Thing. all of a sudden we found
00:49:07.291 --> 00:49:10.361
All of a sudden we found ourselves to be on the same
00:49:10.494 --> 00:49:11.095
Ourselves to be on the same page.
00:49:11.228 --> 00:49:11.395
Page. we were chasing after the the
00:49:11.528 --> 00:49:14.298
We were chasing after the the same things we had done in our
00:49:14.431 --> 00:49:15.065
Same things we had done in our own way for way too long and
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:18.635
Own way for way too long and once we started being obedient
00:49:18.769 --> 00:49:19.370
Once we started being obedient to what god was us we fell in
00:49:19.503 --> 00:49:22.139
To what god was us we fell in love.
00:49:22.272 --> 00:49:22.439
Love. next 15 years our marriage went

Next 15 years our marriage went from being something that
00:49:25.409 --> 00:49:25.909
From being something that caused us pain to becoming
00:49:26.043 --> 00:49:28.579
Caused us pain to becoming something we cherish to this

Something we cherish to this day as result in 2014 we

Beautiful. we do it our way.
00:49:55.339 --> 00:49:55.839
We do it our way. maybe not so much.
00:49:55.973 --> 00:49:56.407
Maybe not so much. love totally different when
00:49:56.540 --> 00:49:59.510
Love totally different when it's unselfish.
00:49:59.643 --> 00:49:59.977
It's unselfish. it's like the cure for cancer.
00:50:00.110 --> 00:50:03.680
It's like the cure for cancer. you just want to shout it from
00:50:03.814 --> 00:50:04.615
You just want to shout it from the rooftop that if god could
00:50:04.748 --> 00:50:07.618
The rooftop that if god could save our marriage he could save
00:50:07.751 --> 00:50:08.452
Save our marriage he could save everybody's marriages.
00:50:08.585 --> 00:50:11.288
Everybody's marriages. we went through fire and water.
00:50:11.422 --> 00:50:12.156
We went through fire and water. yet you took a place of
00:50:12.289 --> 00:50:15.526
Yet you took a place of abundance and that's the life
00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:16.260
Abundance and that's the life we're living now.
00:50:16.393 --> 00:50:18.695
We're living now. we're living a life of
00:50:18.829 --> 00:50:19.363
We're living a life of abundance following god's and
00:50:19.496 --> 00:50:22.199
Abundance following god's and sharing it with other people
00:50:22.332 --> 00:50:22.933
Sharing it with other people and we can't have a greater
00:50:23.066 --> 00:50:24.501
And we can't have a greater than that.
00:50:24.635 --> 00:50:28.772
Than that. wow.
00:50:28.906 --> 00:50:29.039
Wow. so many lessons and what they

So many lessons and what they shared with us today i mean we
00:50:32.609 --> 00:50:33.343
Shared with us today i mean we were talking a minute ago about
00:50:33.477 --> 00:50:34.178
Were talking a minute ago about the the importance of living
00:50:34.311 --> 00:50:36.613
The the importance of living intentionally, you know, making
00:50:36.747 --> 00:50:37.347
Intentionally, you know, making choices not out of selfishness
00:50:37.481 --> 00:50:40.851
Choices not out of selfishness but out of a desire to be close
00:50:40.984 --> 00:50:44.321
But out of a desire to be close to god and you know, something
00:50:44.455 --> 00:50:48.058
To god and you know, something happens in relationships
00:50:48.192 --> 00:50:48.692
Happens in relationships usually.
00:50:48.826 --> 00:50:51.962
Usually. our bent is to be selfish.
00:50:52.095 --> 00:50:52.763
Our bent is to be selfish. how much can i get?
00:50:52.896 --> 00:50:53.330
How much can i get? what do i need?

For you to try to change the other person.
00:51:34.137 --> 00:51:34.438
Other person. remember carol talked about
00:51:34.571 --> 00:51:35.105

Brought the two of you together with some vows that were spoken

With some vows that were spoken and you know those vows can't
00:51:56.527 --> 00:51:57.227
And you know those vows can't really be kept by us just
00:51:57.361 --> 00:51:57.928
Really be kept by us just because we want them.
00:51:58.061 --> 00:52:00.731
Because we want them. i mean, they have to be

Water has gone over the dam but have to be willing to be
