- THAT IS THE ONE, THE...POINT THAT I WANNA PULL OUT.
- 00:01:00.049 --> 00:01:02.952
- THAT I WANNA PULL OUT. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, FEARING
- 00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:03.620
- WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, FEARING THE LORD WAS MORE OF A FEAR,
- 00:01:03.686 --> 00:01:06.990
- THE LORD WAS MORE OF A FEAR, LIKE BEING AFRAID OF HIM, AS
- 00:01:07.056 --> 00:01:07.857
- LIKE BEING AFRAID OF HIM, AS OPPOSED TO, LIKE, RESPECTING
- 00:01:07.924 --> 00:01:10.260
- OPPOSED TO, LIKE, RESPECTING HIM, IN REVERENCING HIM.
- 00:01:10.326 --> 00:01:16.866
- AND, IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER ON
- 00:01:18.368 --> 00:01:18.935
- AND, IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER ON IN MY LIFE THAT I REALLY
- 00:01:19.002 --> 00:01:19.836
- IN MY LIFE THAT I REALLY LEARNED WHAT THAT FEAR OF THE
- 00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:20.803
- LEARNED WHAT THAT FEAR OF THE LORD MEANT.
- 00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:22.772
- LORD MEANT. AND, I DIDN'T HAVE A REALLY
- 00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:24.174
- AND, I DIDN'T HAVE A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AS
- 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:25.875
- GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AS FAR AS, LIKE, INTIMACY AND
- 00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:26.442
- FAR AS, LIKE, INTIMACY AND EVERYTHING.
- 00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:28.044
- EVERYTHING. BECAUSE, LIKE, I SAID AT FIRST,
- 00:01:28.111 --> 00:01:30.480
- BECAUSE, LIKE, I SAID AT FIRST, THE BIBLE FELT LIKE A BOOK OF
- 00:01:30.547 --> 00:01:32.415
- THE BIBLE FELT LIKE A BOOK OF RULES TO ME, AS OPPOSED TO A
- 00:01:32.482 --> 00:01:34.217
- RULES TO ME, AS OPPOSED TO A BOOK OF STANDARDS THAT GOD HAD
- 00:01:34.284 --> 00:01:35.185
- BOOK OF STANDARDS THAT GOD HAD LAID OUT FOR US TO SHOW US WHAT
- 00:01:35.251 --> 00:01:37.287
- LAID OUT FOR US TO SHOW US WHAT WE COULD ACCOMPLISH.
- 00:01:37.353 --> 00:01:38.788
- WE COULD ACCOMPLISH. AND GROWING UP,
- 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:40.723
- AND GROWING UP, I FELT LIKE THERE
- 00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:42.692
- I FELT LIKE THERE WERE SO MANY RULES.
- 00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:44.360
- WERE SO MANY RULES. AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT I
- 00:01:44.427 --> 00:01:46.930
- AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT I HEARD WHO WERE GETTING GRACE
- 00:01:46.996 --> 00:01:47.530
- HEARD WHO WERE GETTING GRACE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE SINNERS
- 00:01:47.597 --> 00:01:48.131
- WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE SINNERS COMING INTO CHRIST.
- 00:01:48.198 --> 00:01:49.766
- COMING INTO CHRIST. BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO GREW UP
- 00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:51.100
- BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO GREW UP IN CHURCH AND WHO GREW UP AND
- 00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:53.770
- IN CHURCH AND WHO GREW UP AND WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ALL OF
- 00:01:53.836 --> 00:01:58.575
- WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ALL OF WHAT GOD EXPECTED FROM US --
- 00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:00.577
- WHAT GOD EXPECTED FROM US -- I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH GRACE FOR US.
- 00:02:00.643 --> 00:02:05.181
- SO, THE THINGS THAT I DID THAT
- 00:02:05.715 --> 00:02:07.283
- SO, THE THINGS THAT I DID THAT WAS NOT VERY PROVERBS 31-ISH, I
- 00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:10.086
- WAS NOT VERY PROVERBS 31-ISH, I CARRIED THAT WITH ME AND IT
- 00:02:10.153 --> 00:02:13.856
- CARRIED THAT WITH ME AND IT SEPARATED ME EVEN FURTHER FROM
- 00:02:13.923 --> 00:02:17.660
- SEPARATED ME EVEN FURTHER FROM GOD IN WHAT I FELT LIKE HE
- 00:02:17.727 --> 00:02:18.661
- GOD IN WHAT I FELT LIKE HE WANTED FROM ME.
- 00:02:18.728 --> 00:02:19.963
- WANTED FROM ME. AND, I KNEW I LOVE GOD AND I
- 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:22.198
- AND, I KNEW I LOVE GOD AND I KNEW I WANTED TO BE A
- 00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:24.534
- KNEW I WANTED TO BE A CHRISTIAN, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE
- 00:02:24.601 --> 00:02:26.569
- CHRISTIAN, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS WORKING FOR MY PARENTS,
- 00:02:26.636 --> 00:02:30.106
- IT WAS WORKING FOR MY PARENTS, SO IT HAD TO WORK FOR ME.
- 00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:30.673
- SO IT HAD TO WORK FOR ME. BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 2014, IN
- 00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.542
- BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 2014, IN GREECE -- I WENT ON AN A21 TRIP
- 00:02:32.609 --> 00:02:36.379
- GREECE -- I WENT ON AN A21 TRIP WITH HAVILAH, ACTUALLY.
- 00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:38.414
- WITH HAVILAH, ACTUALLY. AND SHE PULLED ME ASIDE AND SHE
- 00:02:38.481 --> 00:02:42.318
- AND SHE PULLED ME ASIDE AND SHE WAS TALKING TO ME.
- 00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:42.819
- WAS TALKING TO ME. WHEN I TELL YOU SHE WAS IN MY
- 00:02:42.885 --> 00:02:44.153
- WHEN I TELL YOU SHE WAS IN MY BEDROOM...
- 00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:44.721
- BEDROOM... [HAVILAH LAUGHS]
- 00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:47.390
- [HAVILAH LAUGHS] LIKE, SHE KNEW THINGS THAT, YOU
- 00:02:47.457 --> 00:02:48.057
- LIKE, SHE KNEW THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND DIDN'T KNOW.
- 00:02:48.124 --> 00:02:51.027
- KNOW, MY HUSBAND DIDN'T KNOW. IT WAS SO PERFECT, BECAUSE, SHE
- 00:02:51.094 --> 00:02:51.894
- IT WAS SO PERFECT, BECAUSE, SHE SAID: "LISTEN, I KNOW YOU FEEL
- 00:02:51.961 --> 00:02:54.497
- SAID: "LISTEN, I KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE HAD THIS REBELLIOUS
- 00:02:54.564 --> 00:02:56.766
- LIKE YOU'VE HAD THIS REBELLIOUS STREAK, BUT THE WAY PEOPLE SEE
- 00:02:56.833 --> 00:02:58.301
- STREAK, BUT THE WAY PEOPLE SEE YOU IS AS WHITE AS SNOW, AND
- 00:02:58.368 --> 00:02:59.769
- YOU IS AS WHITE AS SNOW, AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF
- 00:02:59.836 --> 00:03:05.441
- THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE LOVE OF GOD.
- 00:03:05.508 --> 00:03:07.210

- BUT HE NEEDS YOU TO KNOW THAT HE'S PROUD OF YOU."
- 00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:11.481
- HE'S PROUD OF YOU." I WAS JUST TALKING TO HIM.
- 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:12.915
- I WAS JUST TALKING TO HIM. I WAS LIKE: "GOD, I JUST WANNA
- 00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:14.083
- I WAS LIKE: "GOD, I JUST WANNA KNOW THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF ME.
- 00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:14.884
- KNOW THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF ME. LIKE, I'VE SCREWED UP WITH SO
- 00:03:14.951 --> 00:03:17.086
- LIKE, I'VE SCREWED UP WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS."
- 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:18.421
- MANY DIFFERENT THINGS." AND I'M LIKE, "I'M SO FAR FROM

- AND I'M LIKE, "I'M SO FAR FROM A LOT OF THE STANDARDS THAT I

- WHERE IS THIS, YOU KNOW, RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU?"
- 00:03:28.965 --> 00:03:31.200
- RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU?" AND WHEN SHE SAT DOWN AND SHE
- 00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.302
- AND WHEN SHE SAT DOWN AND SHE TOLD ME, "HE IS PROUD OF YOU;
- 00:03:32.368 --> 00:03:33.002
- TOLD ME, "HE IS PROUD OF YOU; HE NEEDS YOU TO KNOW THAT THE

- HE NEEDS YOU TO KNOW THAT THE CONDEMNATION THAT YOU'RE
- 00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:35.938
- CONDEMNATION THAT YOU'RE PUTTING ON YOURSELF IS NOT HIM;
- 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:37.340
- PUTTING ON YOURSELF IS NOT HIM; WHEN THINGS DON'T HAPPEN THAT
- 00:03:37.407 --> 00:03:38.941
- WHEN THINGS DON'T HAPPEN THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD BE
- 00:03:39.008 --> 00:03:40.576
- YOU FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD BE BLESSED WITH, IT'S NOT BECAUSE
- 00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:42.545
- BLESSED WITH, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE
- 00:03:42.612 --> 00:03:44.213
- OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST -- THAT'S THE DEVIL
- 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.381
- PAST -- THAT'S THE DEVIL TELLING YOU THAT; GOD WANTS YOU
- 00:03:45.448 --> 00:03:46.316

- 00:03:47.950 --> 00:03:49.285
- PROUD OF YOU," I MEAN-- AND SHE RAN DOWN THIS LIST.
- 00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.387
- RAN DOWN THIS LIST. AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THEN THAT I

- AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THEN THAT I REALLY FELT LIKE: "OH, GOD!
- 00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:55.792
- REALLY FELT LIKE: "OH, GOD! LIKE, YOU JUST-- YOU WANT A

- MY FATHER, AS MY FRIEND, AS MY LEADER, AS MY GUIDE."
- 00:04:05.134 --> 00:04:07.203
- LEADER, AS MY GUIDE." AND THAT FEAR OF THE LORD, IN
- 00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:10.573
- AND THAT FEAR OF THE LORD, IN THAT WAY, IS WHAT WOULD HELP ME
- 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:12.408

- THAT...IS LINED UP IN PROVERBS 31.
- 00:04:17.847 --> 00:04:19.082
- PROVERBS 31. I KNOW LISA HAS BEEN DRIVING
- 00:04:19.148 --> 00:04:20.283
- I KNOW LISA HAS BEEN DRIVING HOME THIS -- IT'S NOT JUST ONE
- 00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:21.117
- HOME THIS -- IT'S NOT JUST ONE WOMAN.
- 00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:23.286
- WOMAN. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE
- 00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:25.521
- BUT I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE TRULY FEAR GOD THE WAY THAT WE
- 00:04:25.588 --> 00:04:27.423
- TRULY FEAR GOD THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD, AND WE TRULY SEEK AFTER
- 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:29.492
- SHOULD, AND WE TRULY SEEK AFTER HIM IN EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS
- 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:31.260
- HIM IN EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS SET UP FOR US, THE RESULT OF
- 00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:35.531
- SET UP FOR US, THE RESULT OF WHAT COMES FROM THAT WORK IS
- 00:04:35.598 --> 00:04:39.569
- WHAT COMES FROM THAT WORK IS WHAT WILL SHOW A PROVERBS 31
- 00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:40.870
- WHAT WILL SHOW A PROVERBS 31 WOMAN.
- 00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:42.038
- WOMAN. BECAUSE, WE HAVE THE GRACE TO
- 00:04:42.105 --> 00:04:42.672
- BECAUSE, WE HAVE THE GRACE TO TALK TO PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS.
- 00:04:42.739 --> 00:04:48.311
- TALK TO PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS. WE HAVE THE REST AND THE PEACE
- 00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:50.113
- WE HAVE THE REST AND THE PEACE TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THINGS.
- 00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:51.047
- TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THINGS. WE HAVE THE LONGSUFFERING.
- 00:04:51.114 --> 00:04:52.181
- WE HAVE THE LONGSUFFERING. WE HAVE, LIKE, EVERYTHING THAT
- 00:04:52.248 --> 00:04:54.650
- WE HAVE, LIKE, EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED THAT GOD HAS PUT IN US
- 00:04:54.717 --> 00:04:57.920
- WE NEED THAT GOD HAS PUT IN US TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE TASKS--
- 00:04:57.987 --> 00:05:00.456
- TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE TASKS-- OR, I DON'T WANNA SAY "TASK,"
- 00:05:00.523 --> 00:05:02.959
- OR, I DON'T WANNA SAY "TASK," BUT, FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO

- BUT, FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT US AND SAY: "OH, SHE IS
- 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.428
- LOOK AT US AND SAY: "OH, SHE IS A PROVERBS 31 WOMAN.
- 00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:07.630
- A PROVERBS 31 WOMAN. BECAUSE SHE'S GRACEFUL.
- 00:05:07.697 --> 00:05:08.664
- BECAUSE SHE'S GRACEFUL. SHE USED WISDOM."
- 00:05:08.731 --> 00:05:10.900
- SHE USED WISDOM." YOU KNOW, "SHE GOES HARD AFTER
- 00:05:10.967 --> 00:05:12.535
- YOU KNOW, "SHE GOES HARD AFTER THE THINGS OF GOD BECAUSE SHE
- 00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:14.070
- THE THINGS OF GOD BECAUSE SHE TRULY FEARS HIM."
- 00:05:14.137 --> 00:05:15.571
- TRULY FEARS HIM." AND THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE WILL
- 00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:17.106
- AND THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE WILL SEE AND THAT IS WHAT WILL BE
- 00:05:17.173 --> 00:05:18.808

- FOOTBALL COACHES, AND IT TALKED ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THESE
- 00:08:05.007 --> 00:08:05.508
- ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THESE PARTICULAR COACHES.
- 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:06.976
- AND IT SAID SOME COACHES HAD A
- 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:08.911
- AND IT SAID SOME COACHES HAD A REAL SHORT-LIVED RESPECT
- 00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:10.346
- REAL SHORT-LIVED RESPECT BECAUSE THEIR PLAYERS WERE
- 00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:11.781
- BECAUSE THEIR PLAYERS WERE AFRAID OF THEM.
- 00:08:11.847 --> 00:08:14.483
- AFRAID OF THEM. SO, THEY'D GO TO THE FIELD AND
- 00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:15.718
- SO, THEY'D GO TO THE FIELD AND THEY'D WORK REALLY HARD BECAUSE
- 00:08:15.785 --> 00:08:16.953
- THEY'D WORK REALLY HARD BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF--
- 00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:17.987

- 00:08:19.021 --> 00:08:20.389
- - LISA: --HOW THEY WOULD BE PUNISHED IF THEY DIDN'T LEAVE
- 00:08:20.456 --> 00:08:21.891
- PUNISHED IF THEY DIDN'T LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD.
- 00:08:21.958 --> 00:08:23.926
- IT ALL ON THE FIELD. AND HE HAD VERY LITTLE-- LOT OF
- 00:08:23.993 --> 00:08:25.361
- AND HE HAD VERY LITTLE-- LOT OF PLAYERS LEFT HIS PROGRAM.
- 00:08:25.428 --> 00:08:26.729
- PLAYERS LEFT HIS PROGRAM. LIKE, HE'D HAVE MOMENTARY
- 00:08:26.796 --> 00:08:27.730
- LIKE, HE'D HAVE MOMENTARY SUCCESS, BECAUSE THEY WERE
- 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:29.265
- SUCCESS, BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID.
- 00:08:29.332 --> 00:08:30.099
- AFRAID. BUT THE COACHES THEY SHOWED,
- 00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:32.401
- BUT THE COACHES THEY SHOWED, THROUGH THE HISTORY -- THIS
- 00:08:32.468 --> 00:08:33.736
- THROUGH THE HISTORY -- THIS WAS-- I WAS STUDYING ABOUT
- 00:08:33.803 --> 00:08:35.838
- WAS-- I WAS STUDYING ABOUT COLLEGIATE COACHES AND A BOOK
- 00:08:35.905 --> 00:08:36.472
- COLLEGIATE COACHES AND A BOOK ON LEADERSHIP -- AND THEY SAID
- 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.407
- ON LEADERSHIP -- AND THEY SAID THE COACHES THAT SHOWED THIS
- 00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:39.775
- THE COACHES THAT SHOWED THIS LEGACY OF SUCCESS ARE COACHES
- 00:08:39.842 --> 00:08:41.978
- LEGACY OF SUCCESS ARE COACHES THAT -- LIKE YOU SAID, BRITTNEY
- 00:08:42.044 --> 00:08:44.580
- THAT -- LIKE YOU SAID, BRITTNEY -- THEY GIVE YOU PARAMETERS.
- 00:08:44.647 --> 00:08:46.349
- -- THEY GIVE YOU PARAMETERS. THEY GO: "I'M SETTING THE BAR
- 00:08:46.415 --> 00:08:48.484
- THEY GO: "I'M SETTING THE BAR HERE.
- 00:08:48.551 --> 00:08:49.018
- HERE. HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO."
- 00:08:49.085 --> 00:08:50.319
- HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO." BUT THEY LOVED THEIR PLAYERS.
- 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:53.522
- BUT THEY LOVED THEIR PLAYERS. AND I THINK WHERE WE GET A
- 00:08:53.589 --> 00:08:55.758
- AND I THINK WHERE WE GET A LITTLE OFF-TRACK, ANYTIME WE'VE
- 00:08:55.825 --> 00:08:57.193
- LITTLE OFF-TRACK, ANYTIME WE'VE GOT A PASSAGE, LIKE PROVERBS
- 00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.594
- GOT A PASSAGE, LIKE PROVERBS 31, WHERE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF
- 00:08:58.661 --> 00:08:59.829
- 31, WHERE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF BEHAVIOR LISTED, WE GO: OH! I'M
- 00:08:59.895 --> 00:09:02.331
- BEHAVIOR LISTED, WE GO: OH! I'M GONNA CHECK OFF MY LIST.
- 00:09:02.398 --> 00:09:04.533
- GONNA CHECK OFF MY LIST. I'M GONNA DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
- 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.736
- I'M GONNA DO ALL THOSE THINGS. AND THEN, GOD WILL BE PLEASED
- 00:09:06.802 --> 00:09:08.504
- AND THEN, GOD WILL BE PLEASED WITH ME.
- 00:09:08.571 --> 00:09:09.105
- WITH ME. AND WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE WE'RE
- 00:09:09.171 --> 00:09:10.239
- AND WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE WE'RE THINKING OF HIM AS KIND OF A
- 00:09:10.306 --> 00:09:12.908
- THINKING OF HIM AS KIND OF A UNIBROWED LIBRARIAN WITH A
- 00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:13.709
- UNIBROWED LIBRARIAN WITH A BIBLE, JUST WAITING TO SMACK US
- 00:09:13.776 --> 00:09:14.844
- BIBLE, JUST WAITING TO SMACK US OVER THE HEAD, IF WE DON'T GET
- 00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:16.312
- OVER THE HEAD, IF WE DON'T GET EVERYTHING ON THE LIST.
- 00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:17.313
- EVERYTHING ON THE LIST. BUT WHEN YOU SEE THAT AS

- ME," AND IT-- THAT, THERE -- IT WAS POWERFUL
- 00:14:43.973 --> 00:14:48.310
- THAT, THERE -- IT WAS POWERFUL FOR ME.
- 00:14:48.377 --> 00:14:49.178
- FOR ME. AND I REALIZED I NEEDED A NEW
- 00:14:49.244 --> 00:14:50.045
- AND I REALIZED I NEEDED A NEW LEVEL OF INTIMACY WITH GOD, BUT
- 00:14:50.112 --> 00:14:52.214
- LEVEL OF INTIMACY WITH GOD, BUT THE ONLY WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO
- 00:14:52.281 --> 00:14:54.249
- THE ONLY WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT WAS TO KNOW THAT HE
- 00:14:54.316 --> 00:14:56.285
- DO THAT WAS TO KNOW THAT HE LOVED ME, TO KNOW THAT HE WAS
- 00:14:56.352 --> 00:14:58.220
- LOVED ME, TO KNOW THAT HE WAS PROUD, TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM,
- 00:14:58.287 --> 00:14:59.989
- PROUD, TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM, TO GET TO KNOW HIM OUTSIDE OF
- 00:15:00.055 --> 00:15:02.358
- TO GET TO KNOW HIM OUTSIDE OF WHAT I FELT WAS RULES, AND,
- 00:15:02.424 --> 00:15:04.960
- WHAT I FELT WAS RULES, AND, LATER, REALIZED, NO, IT WAS
- 00:15:05.027 --> 00:15:06.328
- LATER, REALIZED, NO, IT WAS JUST THINGS HE WAS TELLING ME
- 00:15:06.395 --> 00:15:07.763
- JUST THINGS HE WAS TELLING ME TO REFRAIN FROM BECAUSE IT'LL
- 00:15:07.830 --> 00:15:09.164
- TO REFRAIN FROM BECAUSE IT'LL HURT ME.
- 00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:10.065
- HURT ME. HE JUST DIDN'T WANT ME TO BE
- 00:15:10.132 --> 00:15:11.867
- HE JUST DIDN'T WANT ME TO BE HURT.
- 00:15:11.934 --> 00:15:13.669
- HURT. - NONA JONES: YOU KNOW, I
- 00:15:13.736 --> 00:15:15.104
- - NONA JONES: YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO HIT ON THIS IDEA OF
- 00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:16.638
- WANTED TO HIT ON THIS IDEA OF NOT BEING ENOUGH.
- 00:15:16.705 --> 00:15:17.840
- NOT BEING ENOUGH. - LISA: MMH...THAT'S GOOD.
- 00:15:17.906 --> 00:15:22.177
- - LISA: MMH...THAT'S GOOD. - NONA: BECAUSE, I...I SENSE
- 00:15:22.244 --> 00:15:23.012
- - NONA: BECAUSE, I...I SENSE THAT SO MANY WOMEN, EVEN THOSE
- 00:15:23.078 --> 00:15:24.179
- THAT SO MANY WOMEN, EVEN THOSE WATCHING THIS, NOW, HAVE
- 00:15:24.246 --> 00:15:25.247
- WATCHING THIS, NOW, HAVE THIS...THIS GAPING HOLE IN
- 00:15:25.314 --> 00:15:27.883
- THIS...THIS GAPING HOLE IN THEIR HEART WHERE IT BECOMES
- 00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:29.351
- THEIR HEART WHERE IT BECOMES PERFORMATIVE, WHICH IS EXACTLY
- 00:15:29.418 --> 00:15:31.854
- WHAT-- YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT
- 00:15:33.355 --> 00:15:33.989
- WHAT-- YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE AND
- 00:15:34.056 --> 00:15:34.623
- THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE AND WE'RE KIND OF, TO YOUR POINT,
- 00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:35.257
- WE'RE KIND OF, TO YOUR POINT, LISA, CHECKING THE BOX, BECAUSE
- 00:15:35.324 --> 00:15:36.258
- LISA, CHECKING THE BOX, BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO "BECOME" ENOUGH,
- 00:15:36.325 --> 00:15:38.594
- OUR GOAL IS TO "BECOME" ENOUGH, TO BECOME WORTHY.
- 00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:42.464
- TO BECOME WORTHY. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY ROOTED
- 00:15:42.531 --> 00:15:43.966
- AND I THINK IT'S REALLY ROOTED IN INSECURITY.
- 00:15:44.033 --> 00:15:46.135
- IN INSECURITY. AND I WANT TO SPEAK FOR A
- 00:15:46.201 --> 00:15:48.137
- AND I WANT TO SPEAK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT WHAT THAT IS,
- 00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:49.605
- MOMENT ABOUT WHAT THAT IS, BECAUSE, MANY PEOPLE THINK
- 00:15:49.671 --> 00:15:51.473
- BECAUSE, MANY PEOPLE THINK INSECURITY IS ABOUT EGO,
- 00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:52.641
- INSECURITY IS ABOUT EGO, INSECURITY IS ABOUT ARROGANCE.
- 00:15:52.708 --> 00:15:57.679
- INSECURITY IS ABOUT ARROGANCE. BUT, IN FACT, INSECURITY IS NOT
- 00:15:57.746 --> 00:15:58.347
- BUT, IN FACT, INSECURITY IS NOT A QUESTION OF WHAT YOU HAVE,
- 00:15:58.414 --> 00:16:00.983
- A QUESTION OF WHAT YOU HAVE, IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF YOUR
- 00:16:01.050 --> 00:16:02.351
- IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF YOUR EGO; IT'S A QUESTION OF "WHAT
- 00:16:02.418 --> 00:16:03.952
- EGO; IT'S A QUESTION OF "WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY SECURED TO?"
- 00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:07.456
- IS YOUR IDENTITY SECURED TO?" IF YOUR IDENTITY IS SECURED TO
- 00:16:07.523 --> 00:16:09.124
- IF YOUR IDENTITY IS SECURED TO THE APPROVAL OF PEOPLE, THEN,
- 00:16:09.191 --> 00:16:10.826
- THE APPROVAL OF PEOPLE, THEN, YOU'RE GOING TO BE INSECURE.
- 00:16:10.893 --> 00:16:12.528
- YOU'RE GOING TO BE INSECURE. WHY?
- 00:16:12.594 --> 00:16:13.195
- WHY? BECAUSE PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ARE
- 00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:14.596
- BECAUSE PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ARE FICKLE.
- 00:16:14.663 --> 00:16:15.230
- FICKLE. - HAVILAH: THAT'S RIGHT.
- 00:16:15.297 --> 00:16:16.899
- - HAVILAH: THAT'S RIGHT. - NONA: YOU KNOW, MAYBE,
- 00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:17.699
- - NONA: YOU KNOW, MAYBE, TODAY, YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB
- 00:16:17.766 --> 00:16:18.367
- TODAY, YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB AND EVERYONE'S APPLAUDING.
- 00:16:18.434 --> 00:16:20.369
- AND, MAYBE, TOMORROW, YOU DO
- 00:16:20.969 --> 00:16:21.503
- AND, MAYBE, TOMORROW, YOU DO THE EXACT SAME "QUALITY," BUT
- 00:16:21.570 --> 00:16:22.638
- THE EXACT SAME "QUALITY," BUT PEOPLE ARE LIKE: ANH, THAT
- 00:16:22.704 --> 00:16:23.806
- PEOPLE ARE LIKE: ANH, THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
- 00:16:23.872 --> 00:16:24.807
- WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. AND SO, YOU BECOME INSECURE,
- 00:16:24.873 --> 00:16:26.909
- AND SO, YOU BECOME INSECURE, BECAUSE YOU'VE LITERALLY
- 00:16:26.975 --> 00:16:27.943
- BECAUSE YOU'VE LITERALLY SECURED YOUR IDENTITY TO AN
- 00:16:28.010 --> 00:16:29.344
- SECURED YOUR IDENTITY TO AN UNSTABLE FOUNDATION.
- 00:16:29.411 --> 00:16:30.679
- UNSTABLE FOUNDATION. AND THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS KEEP
- 00:16:30.746 --> 00:16:32.514
- AND THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS KEEP GOING BACK TO VERSE 30, WHICH
- 00:16:32.581 --> 00:16:34.216
- GOING BACK TO VERSE 30, WHICH IS THE IDEA THAT CHARM IS
- 00:16:34.283 --> 00:16:36.185
- IS THE IDEA THAT CHARM IS DECEPTIVE, BEAUTY IS FLEETING,
- 00:16:36.251 --> 00:16:38.120
- DECEPTIVE, BEAUTY IS FLEETING, BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD
- 00:16:38.187 --> 00:16:40.389
- BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD IS TO BE PRAISED.
- 00:16:40.456 --> 00:16:41.623
- IS TO BE PRAISED. WHY?
- 00:16:41.690 --> 00:16:43.292
- WHY? BECAUSE WHEN YOU FEAR THE LORD,
- 00:16:43.358 --> 00:16:44.927
- BECAUSE WHEN YOU FEAR THE LORD, WHEN YOU REVERENCE THE LORD,
- 00:16:44.993 --> 00:16:45.527
- WHEN YOU REVERENCE THE LORD, WHEN YOU HONOR THE LORD, YOU
- 00:16:45.594 --> 00:16:46.795
- WHEN YOU HONOR THE LORD, YOU ARE SECURING YOUR IDENTITY TO
- 00:16:46.862 --> 00:16:47.963
- ARE SECURING YOUR IDENTITY TO WHO HE SAYS YOU ARE -- NOT WHO
- 00:16:48.030 --> 00:16:50.099
- WHO HE SAYS YOU ARE -- NOT WHO EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS YOU ARE,
- 00:16:50.165 --> 00:16:54.503
- EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS YOU ARE, BUT WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE.
- 00:16:54.570 --> 00:16:55.437
- BUT WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE. AND SO, THE REALITY IS: ARE WE
- 00:16:55.504 --> 00:16:56.972
- AND SO, THE REALITY IS: ARE WE ENOUGH?
- 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.340
- ENOUGH? THE ANSWER IS,
- 00:16:58.407 --> 00:16:59.074
- THE ANSWER IS, WE'RE ENOUGH.
- 00:16:59.141 --> 00:17:00.309
- WE'RE ENOUGH. BUT WE'RE NOT JUST ENOUGH.
- 00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:01.443
- BUT WE'RE NOT JUST ENOUGH. WE WERE DEEMED WORTH DYING FOR.
- 00:17:01.510 --> 00:17:03.645
- WE WERE DEEMED WORTH DYING FOR. AND, TO ME, THAT IS THE ETERNAL
- 00:17:03.712 --> 00:17:06.815
- AND, TO ME, THAT IS THE ETERNAL ANSWER TO THE QUESTION: AM I
- 00:17:06.882 --> 00:17:08.484
- ANSWER TO THE QUESTION: AM I ENOUGH?
- 00:17:08.550 --> 00:17:09.751
- ENOUGH? I MEAN, JESUS, KNOWING
- 00:17:09.818 --> 00:17:11.453
- I MEAN, JESUS, KNOWING EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD THINK,
- 00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:12.888
- EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD THINK, DO, SAY, EVERY SHORTFALL, EVERY
- 00:17:12.955 --> 00:17:14.957
- DO, SAY, EVERY SHORTFALL, EVERY SHORTCOMING WE WOULD HAVE,
- 00:17:15.023 --> 00:17:16.325
- SHORTCOMING WE WOULD HAVE, STILL GOT UP ON THAT CROSS.
- 00:17:16.391 --> 00:17:18.594
- STILL GOT UP ON THAT CROSS. AND HE SAID: YOU KNOW WHAT?
- 00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:20.262
- AND HE SAID: YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE WORTH THIS.
- 00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:22.331
- YOU ARE WORTH THIS. - LISA: MM-HMM. SO GOOD.
- 00:17:22.397 --> 00:17:23.699
- - LISA: MM-HMM. SO GOOD. - DIANNA: I LOVE WHAT YOU
- 00:17:23.765 --> 00:17:24.967
- - DIANNA: I LOVE WHAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE
- 00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:28.770
- MENTIONED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE FEAR OF THE LORD.
- 00:17:28.837 --> 00:17:30.439
- AND, OFTENTIMES, WHEN YOU
- 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.207
- AND, OFTENTIMES, WHEN YOU ARE-- YOU KNOW, WHEN THE LORD
- 00:17:32.274 --> 00:17:33.575
- ARE-- YOU KNOW, WHEN THE LORD LEAVE THE 99 FOR THE ONE, YOU
- 00:17:33.642 --> 00:17:35.544
- LEAVE THE 99 FOR THE ONE, YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND IT, UNTIL YOU
- 00:17:35.611 --> 00:17:36.178
- WON'T UNDERSTAND IT, UNTIL YOU BECOME THE ONE.
- 00:17:36.245 --> 00:17:37.713
- BECOME THE ONE. - BRITTNEY: RIGHT.
- 00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.480
- - BRITTNEY: RIGHT. - HAVILAH: THAT'S GOOD.
- 00:17:38.547 --> 00:17:39.281
- - HAVILAH: THAT'S GOOD. - BRITTNEY: WOW.
- 00:17:39.348 --> 00:17:40.015
- - BRITTNEY: WOW. - DIANNA: AND SO, LIKE
- 00:17:40.082 --> 00:17:41.049
- - DIANNA: AND SO, LIKE BRITTNEY -- SHE MENTIONED JUST
- 00:17:41.116 --> 00:17:41.884
- BRITTNEY -- SHE MENTIONED JUST THIS FEELING OF BEING THE
- 00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:45.587
- THIS FEELING OF BEING THE OUTSIDER, FEELING THAT
- 00:17:45.654 --> 00:17:47.489
- OUTSIDER, FEELING THAT "AM I DOING ENOUGH?" AND,
- 00:17:47.556 --> 00:17:50.626
- "AM I DOING ENOUGH?" AND, NONA, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
- 00:17:50.692 --> 00:17:52.027
- NONA, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT SECURITY.
- 00:17:52.094 --> 00:17:54.563
- I THINK WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE,
- 00:17:55.297 --> 00:17:56.431
- I THINK WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE, WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?
- 00:17:56.498 --> 00:17:58.767
- WHERE DO YOU BEGIN? BECAUSE IF CHARM IS DECEPTIVE
- 00:17:58.834 --> 00:18:02.404
- BECAUSE IF CHARM IS DECEPTIVE AND BEAUTY IS FLEETING, BUT,
- 00:18:02.471 --> 00:18:03.572
- AND BEAUTY IS FLEETING, BUT, THE ONE WHO FEARS THE LORD IS
- 00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:04.940
- THE ONE WHO FEARS THE LORD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED -- WELL,
- 00:18:05.007 --> 00:18:06.508
- WORTHY TO BE PRAISED -- WELL, WHAT DOES "FEAR" MEAN?
- 00:18:06.575 --> 00:18:07.876
- WHAT DOES "FEAR" MEAN? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, IN THE
- 00:18:07.943 --> 00:18:08.911
- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SCRIPTURES?
- 00:18:08.977 --> 00:18:10.279
- CONTEXT OF THE SCRIPTURES? AND SO, THE BASELINE, THE
- 00:18:10.345 --> 00:18:12.347
- AND SO, THE BASELINE, THE BOTTOM LINE, JUST THE STARTING
- 00:18:12.414 --> 00:18:14.616
- BOTTOM LINE, JUST THE STARTING POINT, IS FEAR LOOKS LIKE A
- 00:18:14.683 --> 00:18:17.319
- POINT, IS FEAR LOOKS LIKE A RESPECT FOR THE LORD.
- 00:18:17.386 --> 00:18:18.554
- RESPECT FOR THE LORD. - BRITTNEY: MM-HMM.
- 00:18:18.620 --> 00:18:19.922
- - BRITTNEY: MM-HMM. - DIANNA: FEAR LOOKS LIKE
- 00:18:19.988 --> 00:18:21.023
- - DIANNA: FEAR LOOKS LIKE MAKING HIM PRIORITY.
- 00:18:21.089 --> 00:18:22.858
- MAKING HIM PRIORITY. FEAR LOOKS LIKE HONORING THE
- 00:18:22.925 --> 00:18:25.427
- FEAR LOOKS LIKE HONORING THE LORD AND HAVING HIM AS YOUR
- 00:18:25.494 --> 00:18:28.931
- LORD AND HAVING HIM AS YOUR FOCAL POINT OF WORSHIP.
- 00:18:28.997 --> 00:18:31.333
- FOCAL POINT OF WORSHIP. SO, WHATEVER USED TO RULE AND
- 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.669
- SO, WHATEVER USED TO RULE AND REIGN -- WHICH IS EITHER YOUR
- 00:18:33.735 --> 00:18:35.938
- REIGN -- WHICH IS EITHER YOUR WANTS, YOUR DESIRES, YOUR
- 00:18:36.004 --> 00:18:37.673
- WANTS, YOUR DESIRES, YOUR AGENDA, YOUR PINTEREST ACCOUNT,
- 00:18:37.739 --> 00:18:39.708
- AGENDA, YOUR PINTEREST ACCOUNT, AS LISA WOULD REFER TO IT, YOUR
- 00:18:39.775 --> 00:18:42.344
- AS LISA WOULD REFER TO IT, YOUR HIGHLY, YOU KNOW, EDITED PHOTOS
- 00:18:42.411 --> 00:18:45.714
- HIGHLY, YOU KNOW, EDITED PHOTOS ON INSTAGRAM -- THAT, NOW,
- 00:18:45.781 --> 00:18:48.050
- ON INSTAGRAM -- THAT, NOW, TAKES A BACK SEAT, WAY BACK,
- 00:18:48.116 --> 00:18:50.285
- TAKES A BACK SEAT, WAY BACK, OVER HERE.
- 00:18:50.352 --> 00:18:53.422
- OVER HERE. AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, JESUS
- 00:18:53.488 --> 00:18:54.523
- AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, JESUS TAKES THE THRONE OF YOUR LIFE.
- 00:18:54.590 --> 00:18:56.625
- TAKES THE THRONE OF YOUR LIFE. AND, NOW, HE BECOMES THE FOCAL
- 00:18:56.692 --> 00:18:59.361
- AND, NOW, HE BECOMES THE FOCAL POINT OF FEAR, MEANING, NOW, HE
- 00:18:59.428 --> 00:19:00.896
- POINT OF FEAR, MEANING, NOW, HE HAS YOUR RESPECT, YOUR WORSHIP,
- 00:19:00.963 --> 00:19:02.731
- HAS YOUR RESPECT, YOUR WORSHIP, YOUR HONOR.
- 00:19:02.798 --> 00:19:04.233
- YOUR HONOR. AND HE BECOMES A FOCAL POINT.
- 00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:06.501
- AND HE BECOMES A FOCAL POINT. AND SO, WHEN WE THINK OF THAT,
- 00:19:06.568 --> 00:19:09.605
- AND SO, WHEN WE THINK OF THAT, THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO BE
- 00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:10.906
- THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO BE BRAVE.
- 00:19:10.973 --> 00:19:12.140
- BRAVE. THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO STAND
- 00:19:12.207 --> 00:19:13.108
- THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO STAND STRONG.
- 00:19:13.175 --> 00:19:14.710
- STRONG. THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO LIVE
- 00:19:14.776 --> 00:19:17.279
- THAT GIVES ME THE FUEL TO LIVE IN VIRTUE.
- 00:19:17.346 --> 00:19:17.946
- IN VIRTUE. SO, WHAT IS VIRTUE?
- 00:19:18.013 --> 00:19:19.348
- SO, WHAT IS VIRTUE? IT'S JUST AN OLD, ARCHAIC WORD
- 00:19:19.414 --> 00:19:20.816
- IT'S JUST AN OLD, ARCHAIC WORD THAT MEANS JUST A MORAL
- 00:19:20.882 --> 00:19:21.717
- THAT MEANS JUST A MORAL COMPASS, THAT HIS
- 00:19:21.783 --> 00:19:23.952
- COMPASS, THAT HIS PRIORITIES BECOME MY
- 00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:25.621
- PRIORITIES BECOME MY PRIORITIES; HIS VALUES BECOME
- 00:19:25.687 --> 00:19:26.255
- PRIORITIES; HIS VALUES BECOME MY VALUES; AND AS, NOW, A CHILD
- 00:19:26.321 --> 00:19:28.690
- MY VALUES; AND AS, NOW, A CHILD IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, WHO HAS
- 00:19:28.757 --> 00:19:30.993
- IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE LOVE OF GOD,
- 00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:34.363
- EXPERIENCED THE LOVE OF GOD, NOW, I COULD SEE PROVERBS 31,
- 00:19:34.429 --> 00:19:36.932
- NOW, I COULD SEE PROVERBS 31, IN A NEW LIGHT.
- 00:19:36.999 --> 00:19:38.133
- IN A NEW LIGHT. IT'S NOT THIS ANTIQUATED POEM.
- 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.135
- IT'S NOT THIS ANTIQUATED POEM. NOW, IT BECOMES THE FUEL OF
- 00:19:40.202 --> 00:19:42.271
- NOW, IT BECOMES THE FUEL OF LIFE, AS IF THE LORD, NOW,
- 00:19:42.337 --> 00:19:45.340
- LIFE, AS IF THE LORD, NOW, VIEWS ME THROUGH THE GRID OF:
