- NOT THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE, JACKSON, BUT DO YOU BELIEVE
- 00:01:14.958 --> 00:01:17.094
- BE, JACKSON, BUT DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR FATHER HAS ALWAYS HAD
- 00:01:17.094 --> 00:01:17.894
- THAT YOUR FATHER HAS ALWAYS HAD YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND?
- 00:01:17.894 --> 00:01:20.464
- YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND? DO YOU KNOW FOR A FACT YOU CAN
- 00:01:20.464 --> 00:01:22.966
- DO YOU KNOW FOR A FACT YOU CAN LOOK BACK OVER YOUR LIFE AND YOU
- 00:01:22.966 --> 00:01:23.733
- LOOK BACK OVER YOUR LIFE AND YOU REALIZE YOUR DAD HAS NOT ALWAYS
- 00:01:23.733 --> 00:01:25.435
- REALIZE YOUR DAD HAS NOT ALWAYS GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT,
- 00:01:25.435 --> 00:01:26.670
- GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT, BUT HE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO DO
- 00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:27.404
- BUT HE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
- 00:01:27.404 --> 00:01:29.573
- WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU. HE LOVES YOU.
- 00:01:29.573 --> 00:01:30.307
- HE LOVES YOU. CAN YOU JUST HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
- 00:01:30.307 --> 00:01:32.609
- CAN YOU JUST HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT AND TRUST THAT RIGHT NOW?
- 00:01:32.609 --> 00:01:34.344
- THAT AND TRUST THAT RIGHT NOW? BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR DAD'S
- 00:01:34.344 --> 00:01:35.178
- BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR DAD'S CHARACTER, EVEN THOUGH THE
- 00:01:35.178 --> 00:01:36.079
- CHARACTER, EVEN THOUGH THE SITUATION IS NOT WHAT YOU
- 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.280
- SITUATION IS NOT WHAT YOU PREFER.
- 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.748
- PREFER. I CAN'T EVEN PROMISE YOU IT IS
- 00:01:38.748 --> 00:01:40.517
- I CAN'T EVEN PROMISE YOU IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
- 00:01:40.517 --> 00:01:42.018
- NOT GOING TO CHANGE. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT IF HE
- 00:01:42.018 --> 00:01:43.453
- BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT IF HE IS NOT ALLOWING YOU TO HAVE THIS
- 00:01:43.453 --> 00:01:46.256
- IS NOT ALLOWING YOU TO HAVE THIS RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS THERE IS A
- 00:01:46.256 --> 00:01:48.091
- RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS THERE IS A REASON HE FEELS THAT NOT
- 00:01:48.091 --> 00:01:49.659
- REASON HE FEELS THAT NOT ALLOWING YOU ACCESS TO THAT IS
- 00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:50.393
- ALLOWING YOU ACCESS TO THAT IS ACTUALLY IN YOUR BEST INTEREST
- 00:01:50.393 --> 00:01:51.194
- ACTUALLY IN YOUR BEST INTEREST AT THIS TIME PERIOD.
- 00:01:51.194 --> 00:01:52.596
- AT THIS TIME PERIOD. THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON THAT
- 00:01:52.596 --> 00:01:53.363
- THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON THAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU HAVE TO
- 00:01:53.363 --> 00:01:55.332
- YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR DAD.
- 00:01:55.332 --> 00:01:58.068
- TRUST YOUR DAD. AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT, I
- 00:01:58.068 --> 00:01:59.669
- AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS VIEWER
- 00:01:59.669 --> 00:02:01.538
- WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS VIEWER THAT POSED THIS QUESTION TO ALL
- 00:02:01.538 --> 00:02:03.974

- OF A CRISIS LIKE THIS WHERE HONESTLY, THERE ARE SO MANY
- 00:02:09.279 --> 00:02:11.648
- HONESTLY, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST SORT OF
- 00:02:11.648 --> 00:02:13.750
- PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST SORT OF RAILING UNDERNEATH THE
- 00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:15.685
- RAILING UNDERNEATH THE DIFFICULTY THEY ARE NOW FACING,
- 00:02:15.685 --> 00:02:16.653
- DIFFICULTY THEY ARE NOW FACING, WHETHER FINANCIALLY, OR,

- OBVIOUSLY, IN THEIR HEALTH OR THEIR RELATIONAL DYNAMICS ARE

- THEIR RELATIONAL DYNAMICS ARE STRAINED AS A RESULT OF THIS,
- 00:02:22.325 --> 00:02:24.227
- STRAINED AS A RESULT OF THIS, HOW CAN WE STILL CEMENT OUR

- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT? - Chrystal: YEAH, I MEAN, I
- 00:03:39.135 --> 00:03:40.737
- - Chrystal: YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THE BEAUTY OF WALKING WITH
- 00:03:40.737 --> 00:03:42.272
- THINK THE BEAUTY OF WALKING WITH GOD OVER TIME IS THAT YOU CAN
- 00:03:42.272 --> 00:03:44.207
- GOD OVER TIME IS THAT YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SO YOU
- 00:03:44.207 --> 00:03:45.976
- LEARN ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO.
- 00:03:45.976 --> 00:03:49.846
- HAVE SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO. WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE HIS HAND,
- 00:03:49.846 --> 00:03:51.248
- WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE HIS HAND, THEN YOU CAN TRUST HIS HEART.
- 00:03:51.248 --> 00:03:51.948
- THEN YOU CAN TRUST HIS HEART. BECAUSE YOU'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW
- 00:03:51.948 --> 00:03:53.283
- BECAUSE YOU'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM.
- 00:03:53.283 --> 00:03:55.452
- HIM. AND THE BEAUTY OF COMMUNITY IS
- 00:03:55.452 --> 00:03:56.286
- AND THE BEAUTY OF COMMUNITY IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE NEW TO THE
- 00:03:56.286 --> 00:03:57.787
- THAT WHEN YOU ARE NEW TO THE FAITH OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE
- 00:03:57.787 --> 00:03:59.189
- FAITH OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S CHARACTER,
- 00:03:59.189 --> 00:04:00.223
- KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S CHARACTER, THEN YOU LEAN ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE
- 00:04:00.223 --> 00:04:02.559
- THEN YOU LEAN ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WALKING WITH GOD.
- 00:04:02.559 --> 00:04:03.693
- BEEN WALKING WITH GOD. JUST THE SAME WAY THAT OUR
- 00:04:03.693 --> 00:04:05.428
- JUST THE SAME WAY THAT OUR CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE SMALL
- 00:04:05.428 --> 00:04:06.229
- CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE SMALL THEY HOLD OUR HAND BECAUSE THEY
- 00:04:06.229 --> 00:04:07.597
- THEY HOLD OUR HAND BECAUSE THEY TRUST US TO GUIDE THEM.
- 00:04:07.597 --> 00:04:09.199
- TRUST US TO GUIDE THEM. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PUT
- 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.001
- THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PUT OUR HAND IN GOD'S HAND BECAUSE
- 00:04:11.001 --> 00:04:12.535
- OUR HAND IN GOD'S HAND BECAUSE WE TRUST HIM.
- 00:04:12.535 --> 00:04:13.470
- WE TRUST HIM. BUT THAT IS ALSO WHAT HAPPENS
- 00:04:13.470 --> 00:04:14.671
- BUT THAT IS ALSO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE LINK UP WITH OTHER
- 00:04:14.671 --> 00:04:16.873
- WHEN WE LINK UP WITH OTHER BELIEVERS WHO HAVE A FAITH AND A
- 00:04:16.873 --> 00:04:17.974
- BELIEVERS WHO HAVE A FAITH AND A HISTORY WITH GOD THAT WE DON'T
- 00:04:17.974 --> 00:04:19.943
- HISTORY WITH GOD THAT WE DON'T HAVE.
- 00:04:19.943 --> 00:04:21.111
- HAVE. SO, BOTH TRUSTING THE CHARACTER
- 00:04:21.111 --> 00:04:22.379
- SO, BOTH TRUSTING THE CHARACTER OF GOD FOR OURSELVES BUT ALSO
- 00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:24.514
- OF GOD FOR OURSELVES BUT ALSO RESTING IN COMMUNITY.
- 00:04:24.514 --> 00:04:26.516
- RESTING IN COMMUNITY. AND IN THIS TIME COMMUNITY IS
- 00:04:26.516 --> 00:04:27.717
- AND IN THIS TIME COMMUNITY IS NOT GETTING TOGETHER IN OUR
- 00:04:27.717 --> 00:04:29.586
- NOT GETTING TOGETHER IN OUR SMALL GROUPS OR GOING TO CHURCH
- 00:04:29.586 --> 00:04:31.254
- SMALL GROUPS OR GOING TO CHURCH LIKE WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO DOING,
- 00:04:31.254 --> 00:04:33.223
- LIKE WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO DOING, BUT IT IS A TEXT OR A PHONE

- BUT IT IS A TEXT OR A PHONE CALL, FACE TIME, ZOOM, GOOGLE
- 00:04:34.891 --> 00:04:37.260
- CALL, FACE TIME, ZOOM, GOOGLE HANG OUT, WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO

- TO KEEP THAT CONNECTION TO SAY, HEY, I'M AFRAID.
- 00:04:40.597 --> 00:04:41.631
- HEY, I'M AFRAID. AND WHERE IS GOD?
- 00:04:41.631 --> 00:04:44.200
- AND WHERE IS GOD? AND HAVING SOMEBODY ELSE IN
- 00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:45.335
- AND HAVING SOMEBODY ELSE IN COMMUNITY, IN YOUR COMMUNITY OF
- 00:04:45.335 --> 00:04:47.203
- COMMUNITY, IN YOUR COMMUNITY OF FAITH COME ALONGSIDE WHEN YOU
- 00:04:47.203 --> 00:04:48.972
- FAITH COME ALONGSIDE WHEN YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO REST IN YOUR OWN
- 00:04:48.972 --> 00:04:50.140
- ARE NOT ABLE TO REST IN YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S CHARACTER.
- 00:04:50.140 --> 00:04:50.874
- KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S CHARACTER. BUT ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD'S
- 00:04:50.874 --> 00:04:53.209
- BUT ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD'S CHARACTER.
- 00:04:53.209 --> 00:04:54.811
- CHARACTER. WE EITHER BELIEVE HE IS WHO HE

- BUT HE SAID, IF YOU DON'T HAVE JESUS, YOU HAVE A LOT TO WORRY
- 00:11:33.509 --> 00:11:34.577
- JESUS, YOU HAVE A LOT TO WORRY ABOUT.
- 00:11:34.577 --> 00:11:36.145
- ABOUT. YOU WON'T HAVE PEACE.
- 00:11:36.145 --> 00:11:37.647
- YOU WON'T HAVE PEACE. YOU NEED TO BE SCARED.
- 00:11:37.647 --> 00:11:39.615
- YOU NEED TO BE SCARED. AND I JUST THINK THAT A LOT OF

- PEOPLE RIGHT NOW JUST NEED JESUS.
- 00:11:42.185 --> 00:11:44.821
- JESUS. - Priscilla: ABSOLUTELY.
- 00:11:44.821 --> 00:11:47.423
- - Priscilla: ABSOLUTELY. AND, THE REALITY IS, THAT JESUS
- 00:11:47.423 --> 00:11:49.192
- AND, THE REALITY IS, THAT JESUS IS STILL THE ONLY WAY.
- 00:11:49.192 --> 00:11:51.227
- IS STILL THE ONLY WAY. IT IS WHAT IT IS.
- 00:11:51.227 --> 00:11:52.428
- IT IS WHAT IT IS. HE IS WHO HE IS.
- 00:11:52.428 --> 00:11:54.630
- HE IS WHO HE IS. AND NO MATTER WHAT THE CRISIS OR
- 00:11:54.630 --> 00:11:56.766
- AND NO MATTER WHAT THE CRISIS OR HOW MUCH CALAMITY SWIRLS AROUND
- 00:11:56.766 --> 00:11:58.668
- HOW MUCH CALAMITY SWIRLS AROUND US OR HOW DISORIENTED WE MIGHT
- 00:11:58.668 --> 00:12:00.703
- US OR HOW DISORIENTED WE MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC LIKE
- 00:12:00.703 --> 00:12:03.306
- BE BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC LIKE THIS, HE IS STILL ON THE THRONE.
- 00:12:03.306 --> 00:12:05.374
- THIS, HE IS STILL ON THE THRONE. HE IS WHERE HE'S ALWAYS BEEN.
- 00:12:05.374 --> 00:12:07.110
- HE IS WHERE HE'S ALWAYS BEEN. THE FATHER HAS MADE A WAY FOR US
- 00:12:07.110 --> 00:12:08.578
- THE FATHER HAS MADE A WAY FOR US TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
- 00:12:08.578 --> 00:12:09.979
- TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THROUGH
- 00:12:09.979 --> 00:12:11.447
- AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:12:11.447 --> 00:12:12.648
- THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST. SO YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.
- 00:12:12.648 --> 00:12:14.450
- SO YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. KNOWING THAT YOUR FATHER, OUR
- 00:12:14.450 --> 00:12:17.720
- KNOWING THAT YOUR FATHER, OUR FATHER LOVED US ENOUGH THAT HE
- 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.355
- FATHER LOVED US ENOUGH THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY WILLING TO
- 00:12:19.355 --> 00:12:21.557
- WAS ACTUALLY WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS SON.
- 00:12:21.557 --> 00:12:23.292
- SACRIFICE HIS SON. HE SENT HIS ONLY SON TO PAY THE
- 00:12:23.292 --> 00:12:25.128
- HE SENT HIS ONLY SON TO PAY THE PRICE, THAT IS THE PRICE I OWED.
- 00:12:25.128 --> 00:12:27.163
- PRICE, THAT IS THE PRICE I OWED. Y'ALL BETTER BE GLAD IT DID NOT
- 00:12:27.163 --> 00:12:28.865
- Y'ALL BETTER BE GLAD IT DID NOT COUNT ON ME SENDING MY SON TO
- 00:12:28.865 --> 00:12:31.601
- COUNT ON ME SENDING MY SON TO PAY THE PRICE THAT WAS OWED.
- 00:12:31.601 --> 00:12:33.436
- PAY THE PRICE THAT WAS OWED. BECAUSE I DON'T IF ANY OF US
- 00:12:33.436 --> 00:12:34.537
- BECAUSE I DON'T IF ANY OF US WOULD MAKE THAT KIND OF A
- 00:12:34.537 --> 00:12:35.671
- WOULD MAKE THAT KIND OF A SACRIFICE.
- 00:12:35.671 --> 00:12:36.672
- SACRIFICE. BUT HE MADE THAT SACRIFICE FOR
- 00:12:36.672 --> 00:12:37.840
- BUT HE MADE THAT SACRIFICE FOR US.
- 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.008
- US. SO MY POINT IS, IF HE LOVED US
- 00:12:39.008 --> 00:12:40.843
- SO MY POINT IS, IF HE LOVED US ENOUGH TO DO THAT, TO SECURE OUR
- 00:12:40.843 --> 00:12:42.612
- ENOUGH TO DO THAT, TO SECURE OUR ETERNAL DESTINY, WHY WOULD WE
- 00:12:42.612 --> 00:12:45.248
- ETERNAL DESTINY, WHY WOULD WE EVER THINK FOR A MINUTE THAT HE
- 00:12:45.248 --> 00:12:46.482
- EVER THINK FOR A MINUTE THAT HE DOES NOT LOVE US ENOUGH TO TAKE
- 00:12:46.482 --> 00:12:48.184
- DOES NOT LOVE US ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF US WHILE WE ARE RIGHT
- 00:12:48.184 --> 00:12:50.186
- CARE OF US WHILE WE ARE RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TIME AND
- 00:12:50.186 --> 00:12:52.255
- HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TIME AND IN HISTORY AND GOING THROUGH OUR
- 00:12:52.255 --> 00:12:53.723
- IN HISTORY AND GOING THROUGH OUR DAILY LIVES AND DEALING WITH THE
- 00:12:53.723 --> 00:12:54.824
- DAILY LIVES AND DEALING WITH THE PANDEMIC LIKE WE ARE DEALING
- 00:12:54.824 --> 00:12:56.492
- PANDEMIC LIKE WE ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW, IF HE LOVED US
- 00:12:56.492 --> 00:12:58.361
- WITH RIGHT NOW, IF HE LOVED US ENOUGH TO DO THE OTHER THING, HE
- 00:12:58.361 --> 00:12:59.896
- ENOUGH TO DO THE OTHER THING, HE LOVES US ENOUGH TO CARRY US
- 00:12:59.896 --> 00:13:00.863
- LOVES US ENOUGH TO CARRY US THROUGH THIS THING.
- 00:13:00.863 --> 00:13:02.131
- THROUGH THIS THING. THAT LOVE IS RADICAL AND VAST
- 00:13:02.131 --> 00:13:03.366
- THAT LOVE IS RADICAL AND VAST AND EXTRAVAGANT.
- 00:13:03.366 --> 00:13:05.568
- AND EXTRAVAGANT. SO WE CAN REST EASY IN KNOWING
- 00:13:05.568 --> 00:13:07.904
- SO WE CAN REST EASY IN KNOWING WE ARE SECURE IN THE FATHER'S
- 00:13:07.904 --> 00:13:09.038
- WE ARE SECURE IN THE FATHER'S HANDS.
- 00:13:09.038 --> 00:13:10.573
- HANDS. - Bianca: I LOVE THAT,

- THE QUESTION I WANT TO BRING, AND PICK YOUR BRAINS IS, HOW DO
- 00:13:13.910 --> 00:13:15.511
- AND PICK YOUR BRAINS IS, HOW DO WE APPLY GOD'S PROMISES?
- 00:13:15.511 --> 00:13:17.680
- WE APPLY GOD'S PROMISES? HOW DO WE APPLY WHAT HIS WORD
- 00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:18.648
- HOW DO WE APPLY WHAT HIS WORD SAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF CRISIS?
- 00:13:18.648 --> 00:13:20.550
- SAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF CRISIS? OR SOMETIMES WHEN THE PAIN FEELS
- 00:13:20.550 --> 00:13:21.551
- OR SOMETIMES WHEN THE PAIN FEELS REALLY OVERWHELMING, HOW DO WE

- HOLD ON TO THOSE PROMISES, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
- 00:13:24.754 --> 00:13:26.856
- DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? - Chrystal: WELL, I THINK THAT
- 00:13:26.856 --> 00:13:29.125
- - Chrystal: WELL, I THINK THAT ACTING LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT WHEN
- 00:13:29.125 --> 00:13:30.827
- ACTING LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT IS TRUE.
- 00:13:30.827 --> 00:13:34.497
- YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT IS TRUE. I MEAN, IT'S ALMOST LIKE FAKING
- 00:13:34.497 --> 00:13:37.700
- I MEAN, IT'S ALMOST LIKE FAKING THE FUNK, JUST A LITTLE BIT.
- 00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:39.101
- THE FUNK, JUST A LITTLE BIT. JUST A LITTLE BIT.
- 00:13:39.101 --> 00:13:41.704
- JUST A LITTLE BIT. WHEN I THINK ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE,
- 00:13:41.704 --> 00:13:43.272
- WHEN I THINK ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I LOOK AT MY CHILDREN AND
- 00:13:43.272 --> 00:13:46.676
- WHEN I LOOK AT MY CHILDREN AND I'M SEEING WHO THEY ARE RIGHT
- 00:13:46.676 --> 00:13:49.178
- I'M SEEING WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M BELIEVING WHAT GOD
- 00:13:49.178 --> 00:13:51.581
- NOW, BUT I'M BELIEVING WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO IN THEIR LIFE
- 00:13:51.581 --> 00:13:54.183
- IS GOING TO DO IN THEIR LIFE LATER, IF I ONLY BELIEVE WHAT I
- 00:13:54.183 --> 00:13:55.818
- LATER, IF I ONLY BELIEVE WHAT I SEE RIGHT NOW, THAT MIGHT RESULT
- 00:13:55.818 --> 00:13:57.220
- SEE RIGHT NOW, THAT MIGHT RESULT IN TOTAL FREAK OUT.
- 00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:58.888
- IN TOTAL FREAK OUT. CONTROL FREAKING.
- 00:13:58.888 --> 00:14:00.823

- THESE THINGS TO TRY TO MAKE THEM BE.
- 00:14:05.428 --> 00:14:08.197
- BE. IT MEANS I'M RELYING ON MY OWN

- IT MEANS I'M RELYING ON MY OWN STRENGTH.
- 00:14:09.198 --> 00:14:10.600
- STRENGTH. HOWEVER, WHILE I DO NEED TO
- 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.201
- HOWEVER, WHILE I DO NEED TO PARENT AND I DO NEED TO BE WISE,
- 00:14:12.201 --> 00:14:13.736
- PARENT AND I DO NEED TO BE WISE, THERE IS DISCIPLINE, THERE IS
- 00:14:13.736 --> 00:14:15.571
- THERE IS DISCIPLINE, THERE IS COUNSELOR'S GUIDANCE, WHEN I
- 00:14:15.571 --> 00:14:18.040
