  • 00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.641
  • For just a moment here. >> you've i mean you had your
  • 00:23:50.774 --> 00:23:53.811
  • >> you've i mean you had your first drink at 14 celebration
  • 00:23:53.944 --> 00:23:54.578
  • First drink at 14 celebration sort of up here you go and that
  • 00:23:54.712 --> 00:23:58.682
  • Sort of up here you go and that deer camp right your first deer
  • 00:23:58.816 --> 00:24:00.317
  • Deer camp right your first deer but you didn't actually begin
  • 00:24:00.451 --> 00:24:01.051
  • But you didn't actually begin drinking until.
  • 00:24:01.185 --> 00:24:04.388
  • Drinking until. you were an adult.
  • 00:24:04.521 --> 00:24:04.955
  • You were an adult. how did you what happened with
  • 00:24:05.089 --> 00:24:05.723
  • How did you what happened with the first drink and how did it
  • 00:24:05.856 --> 00:24:06.457
  • The first drink and how did it take you quite a while before
  • 00:24:06.590 --> 00:24:08.559
  • Take you quite a while before you actually got in the rhythm
  • 00:24:08.692 --> 00:24:09.326
  • You actually got in the rhythm of alcohol?
  • 00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:12.129
  • Of alcohol? >> me feel good?
  • 00:24:12.262 --> 00:24:12.763
  • >> me feel good? well, and i think that's really
  • 00:24:12.896 --> 00:24:13.597
  • Well, and i think that's really the important part is what i
  • 00:24:13.731 --> 00:24:15.599
  • The important part is what i learned at 14 was that alcohol
  • 00:24:15.733 --> 00:24:19.369
  • Learned at 14 was that alcohol had this in a sense magical
  • 00:24:19.503 --> 00:24:20.137
  • Had this in a sense magical effect where it allowed soju to
  • 00:24:20.270 --> 00:24:23.774
  • Effect where it allowed soju to escape for at least a moment
  • 00:24:23.907 --> 00:24:24.475
  • Escape for at least a moment from what you dealing with.
  • 00:24:24.608 --> 00:24:27.711
  • From what you dealing with. and here's the thing.
  • 00:24:27.845 --> 00:24:28.312
  • And here's the thing. alcohol is very successful at
  • 00:24:28.445 --> 00:24:31.715
  • Alcohol is very successful at that right people wouldn't
  • 00:24:31.849 --> 00:24:32.382
  • That right people wouldn't gravitate towards it if it if
  • 00:24:32.516 --> 00:24:33.150
  • Gravitate towards it if it if it wasn't at doing that right.
  • 00:24:33.283 --> 00:24:35.486
  • It wasn't at doing that right. and so i think even though i
  • 00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:39.156
  • And so i think even though i didn't start this like downward
  • 00:24:39.289 --> 00:24:39.923
  • Didn't start this like downward spiral right at that moment my
  • 00:24:40.057 --> 00:24:42.559
  • Spiral right at that moment my body always remembered.
  • 00:24:42.693 --> 00:24:43.160
  • Body always remembered. and so when i got to, you know,
  • 00:24:43.293 --> 00:24:46.897
  • And so when i got to, you know, legal drinking age and started
  • 00:24:47.030 --> 00:24:47.631
  • Legal drinking age and started drinking a little bit more but
  • 00:24:47.765 --> 00:24:49.800
  • Drinking a little bit more but also the stress the stresses of
  • 00:24:49.933 --> 00:24:50.734
  • Also the stress the stresses of adulthood started, i realized
  • 00:24:50.868 --> 00:24:53.937
  • Adulthood started, i realized man, you know, it's really easy
  • 00:24:54.071 --> 00:24:57.474
  • Man, you know, it's really easy just drink a little bit more
  • 00:24:57.608 --> 00:24:58.242
  • Just drink a little bit more instead of having to deal with
  • 00:24:58.375 --> 00:24:59.042
  • Instead of having to deal with those thoughts and feeling
  • 00:24:59.176 --> 00:25:01.745
  • Those thoughts and feeling actually nobody has to know.
  • 00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:02.446
  • Actually nobody has to know. >> i mean that's one especially
  • 00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:04.615
  • >> i mean that's one especially if you're in a culture where
  • 00:25:04.748 --> 00:25:05.315
  • If you're in a culture where drinking is a very commonplace
  • 00:25:05.449 --> 00:25:08.152
  • Drinking is a very commonplace .
  • 00:25:08.285 --> 00:25:08.385
  • . i mean it's you can hide that
  • 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.153
  • I mean it's you can hide that for a long time and because
  • 00:25:09.286 --> 00:25:11.889
  • For a long time and because it's gradual as you get to the
  • 00:25:12.022 --> 00:25:12.856
  • It's gradual as you get to the place where you're really
  • 00:25:12.990 --> 00:25:13.524
  • Place where you're really hanging on to it.
  • 00:25:13.657 --> 00:25:15.659
  • Hanging on to it. i find that most people that i
  • 00:25:15.793 --> 00:25:16.527
  • I find that most people that i know who struggled with this or
  • 00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:18.862
  • Know who struggled with this or are struggling with it don't
  • 00:25:18.996 --> 00:25:19.596
  • Are struggling with it don't accept the fact that it's a
  • 00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:23.267
  • Accept the fact that it's a problem.
  • 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:23.600
  • Problem. >> you know, there's a chapter
  • 00:25:23.734 --> 00:25:24.334
  • >> you know, there's a chapter in the book that's called a
  • 00:25:24.468 --> 00:25:27.204
  • In the book that's called a slow fade.
  • 00:25:27.337 --> 00:25:27.571
  • Slow fade. right.
  • 00:25:27.704 --> 00:25:27.871
  • Right. and it really can that slow
  • 00:25:28.005 --> 00:25:30.808
  • And it really can that slow fade that one drink at five
  • 00:25:30.941 --> 00:25:31.542
  • Fade that one drink at five that leads to two leads to
  • 00:25:31.675 --> 00:25:34.011
  • That leads to two leads to three and then maybe it starts
  • 00:25:34.144 --> 00:25:34.878
  • Three and then maybe it starts earlier in the day and i think
  • 00:25:35.012 --> 00:25:38.248
  • Earlier in the day and i think and i spend an entire chapter
  • 00:25:38.382 --> 00:25:39.016
  • And i spend an entire chapter on this as well in the book
  • 00:25:39.149 --> 00:25:42.085
  • On this as well in the book explaining that alcoholism
  • 00:25:42.219 --> 00:25:42.753
  • Explaining that alcoholism doesn't look exactly like what
  • 00:25:42.886 --> 00:25:45.589
  • Doesn't look exactly like what we think it generally looks
  • 00:25:45.722 --> 00:25:46.256
  • We think it generally looks like.
  • 00:25:46.390 --> 00:25:46.557
  • Like. sure it can right and it can be
  • 00:25:46.690 --> 00:25:50.327
  • Sure it can right and it can be about quantity but anything
  • 00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:53.897
  • About quantity but anything that is mis ordered is
  • 00:25:54.031 --> 00:25:54.531
  • That is mis ordered is disordered.
  • 00:25:54.665 --> 00:25:54.932
  • Disordered. i say that in the book and i
  • 00:25:55.065 --> 00:25:55.666
  • I say that in the book and i think for a lot of us alcohol
  • 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.935
  • Think for a lot of us alcohol or food or work or whatever has
  • 00:25:58.068 --> 00:26:01.505
  • Or food or work or whatever has become mass ordered in our
  • 00:26:01.638 --> 00:26:02.206
  • Become mass ordered in our lives if it's disordered, it's
  • 00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:05.576
  • Lives if it's disordered, it's disordered.
  • 00:26:05.709 --> 00:26:05.976
  • Disordered. >> at one point you're drinking
  • 00:26:06.109 --> 00:26:08.979
  • >> at one point you're drinking multiple times a day you're
  • 00:26:09.112 --> 00:26:09.646
  • Multiple times a day you're also praying to jesus your him
  • 00:26:09.780 --> 00:26:13.083
  • Also praying to jesus your him you are writing christian books
  • 00:26:13.217 --> 00:26:16.753
  • You are writing christian books .
  • 00:26:16.887 --> 00:26:16.987
  • . is this common do you think for
  • 00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:17.788
  • Is this common do you think for people when i say common i know
  • 00:26:17.921 --> 00:26:18.622
  • People when i say common i know it's not i'm not saying that
  • 00:26:18.755 --> 00:26:20.991
  • It's not i'm not saying that but because we can hide behind
  • 00:26:21.124 --> 00:26:21.859
  • But because we can hide behind these things and sometimes
  • 00:26:21.992 --> 00:26:24.361
  • These things and sometimes especially when we're doing
  • 00:26:24.494 --> 00:26:25.028
  • Especially when we're doing christian work we can't really
  • 00:26:25.162 --> 00:26:28.298
  • Christian work we can't really share with anybody because we
  • 00:26:28.432 --> 00:26:29.032
  • Share with anybody because we know the disapprove well i mean
  • 00:26:29.166 --> 00:26:32.903
  • Know the disapprove well i mean talk about that.
  • 00:26:33.036 --> 00:26:33.370

  • 00:26:37.207 --> 00:26:37.808
  • Book and they said i just got through the shame and they said
  • 00:26:37.941 --> 00:26:40.310
  • Through the shame and they said that's me to a t right because
  • 00:26:40.444 --> 00:26:41.111
  • That's me to a t right because we do keep the the shame and
  • 00:26:41.245 --> 00:26:43.947
  • We do keep the the shame and the more we hide the more shame
  • 00:26:44.081 --> 00:26:44.748
  • The more we hide the more shame we feel.
  • 00:26:44.882 --> 00:26:45.082
  • We feel. so i think that's an important
  • 00:26:45.215 --> 00:26:45.816
  • So i think that's an important aspect but i also think that
  • 00:26:45.949 --> 00:26:48.151
  • Aspect but i also think that what we have not done a good
  • 00:26:48.285 --> 00:26:49.019
  • What we have not done a good job of the christian community
  • 00:26:49.152 --> 00:26:51.822
  • Job of the christian community is realizing that being a
  • 00:26:51.955 --> 00:26:55.759
  • Is realizing that being a christian doesn't mean you
  • 00:26:55.893 --> 00:26:56.426
  • Christian doesn't mean you don't struggle with sin right
  • 00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:57.160
  • Don't struggle with sin right like this side of glory this
  • 00:26:57.294 --> 00:26:59.096
  • Like this side of glory this side of heaven.
  • 00:26:59.229 --> 00:26:59.563
  • Side of heaven. we are going to continue to
  • 00:26:59.696 --> 00:27:00.364
  • We are going to continue to struggle so we want to hide
  • 00:27:00.497 --> 00:27:03.533
  • Struggle so we want to hide that though instead of bringing
  • 00:27:03.667 --> 00:27:04.301
  • That though instead of bringing it to jesus right devil wants
  • 00:27:04.434 --> 00:27:06.837
  • It to jesus right devil wants us to hide that.
  • 00:27:06.970 --> 00:27:07.337
  • Us to hide that. he wants us to think i can't
  • 00:27:07.471 --> 00:27:08.272
  • He wants us to think i can't tell anyone about this.
  • 00:27:08.405 --> 00:27:10.807
  • Tell anyone about this. >> that's why i write a chapter
  • 00:27:10.941 --> 00:27:11.708
  • >> that's why i write a chapter on radical vulnerability drag
  • 00:27:11.842 --> 00:27:15.045
  • On radical vulnerability drag these things into the light.
  • 00:27:15.178 --> 00:27:15.779
  • These things into the light. if i would have done that
  • 00:27:15.913 --> 00:27:16.446
  • If i would have done that sooner i can only imagine the
  • 00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:18.916
  • Sooner i can only imagine the heartache that i would have
  • 00:27:19.049 --> 00:27:19.616
  • Heartache that i would have saved myself and my family but
  • 00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:22.719
  • Saved myself and my family but jonathan then there's the who
  • 00:27:22.853 --> 00:27:23.420
  • Jonathan then there's the who do you open all of that because
  • 00:27:23.553 --> 00:27:26.223
  • Do you open all of that because you know the bible says confess
  • 00:27:26.356 --> 00:27:26.990
  • You know the bible says confess your sins one to another but
  • 00:27:27.124 --> 00:27:30.460
  • Your sins one to another but we're not always open to
  • 00:27:30.594 --> 00:27:31.128
  • We're not always open to receiving that someone we kind
  • 00:27:31.261 --> 00:27:33.964
  • Receiving that someone we kind of want people to be
  • 00:27:34.097 --> 00:27:34.665

  • Who are struggling. it can also be help for who are
  • 00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:44.775
  • It can also be help for who are hearing others right because we
  • 00:27:44.908 --> 00:27:45.542
  • Hearing others right because we need to foster biblical
  • 00:27:45.676 --> 00:27:48.979
