Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Believe God for the Impossible (Part 2) | October 30, 2025

She. there's two parts to it.
00:00:00.667 --> 00:00:03.802
It's like, okay, maybe the maybe the success of the results
00:00:03.802 --> 00:00:07.038
Aren't going to look the way, but i think that they'll love.
00:00:07.038 --> 00:00:10.675
But also maybe they will look that way.
00:00:10.675 --> 00:00:13.178
It just will take more time than i think it will take.
00:00:13.178 --> 00:00:15.580
You always feel it too.
00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:16.781
Like like i said you feel the burden
00:00:16.781 --> 00:00:18.783
And like i know for me
00:00:18.783 --> 00:00:21.853
I could not go on unless i obeyed what
00:00:21.853 --> 00:00:24.956
The lord was telling me to do.
00:00:24.956 --> 00:00:26.391
Like no matter what
00:00:26.391 --> 00:00:27.625
I achieved in anything else, it did not feel right.
00:00:27.625 --> 00:00:30.395
And so kind of what i was getting back at with what
00:00:30.395 --> 00:00:32.964
You said sunday, a picture of success
00:00:32.964 --> 00:00:36.401
Was jesus christ dying on the cross?
00:00:36.401 --> 00:00:39.571
And so that to me was so good.
00:00:39.571 --> 00:00:41.806
And again, i might steal that from you
00:00:41.806 --> 00:00:43.475
Because the world looked at him and thought all right, he's,
00:00:43.475 --> 00:00:47.212
He looks like a fool now.
00:00:47.212 --> 00:00:48.680
He's been defeated.
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:50.448
You know, the disciples have hidden themselves.
00:00:50.448 --> 00:00:53.818
It looks like the enemy has won, right?
00:00:53.818 --> 00:00:56.087
But in god's eyes.
00:00:56.087 --> 00:00:57.622
And god's ultimate plan of what he had for
00:00:57.622 --> 00:01:00.191
Is for salvation.
00:01:00.191 --> 00:01:01.759
That was true success.
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.461
And so three days later, the grave is defeated.
00:01:03.461 --> 00:01:06.131
Jesus has risen from the dead, right?
00:01:06.131 --> 00:01:08.500
And so you're right.
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:10.502
And i think, let's talk about this for a second.
00:01:10.502 --> 00:01:12.570
So for me to kind of explain to somebody watching this online,
00:01:12.570 --> 00:01:16.875
It starts off with a burden from the lord.
00:01:17.742 --> 00:01:20.278
And i believe it's a heaviness.
00:01:20.278 --> 00:01:22.413
It's a calling.
00:01:22.413 --> 00:01:23.715
It's something that god has already placed in you.
00:01:23.715 --> 00:01:26.484
Like you know that it's who you are.
00:01:26.484 --> 00:01:28.853
Maybe it's a talent or a gift
00:01:28.853 --> 00:01:30.755
That god has already put into your life.
00:01:30.755 --> 00:01:33.291
And i don't know if you've had this experience,
00:01:33.291 --> 00:01:35.260
But i see it biblically too, especially with joseph.
00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:37.929
Like we had dreams in our family.
00:01:37.929 --> 00:01:39.831
We had we had visions.
00:01:39.831 --> 00:01:41.533
But just like with joseph story.
00:01:41.533 --> 00:01:42.867
So something you also said that sparked my interest
00:01:42.867 --> 00:01:45.937
Is this because it's kind of the same story for us.
00:01:45.937 --> 00:01:48.940
15 years of doing ministry,
00:01:48.940 --> 00:01:52.110
15 years of grinding, 15 years
00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:55.213
Of not being seen
00:01:55.213 --> 00:01:56.981
In the shadows, serving the lord, nobody caring,
00:01:56.981 --> 00:02:00.151
You know, to a degree as far as the worldwide,
00:02:00.151 --> 00:02:02.654
You know, viewership of things.
00:02:02.654 --> 00:02:04.355
But like 15 years, like you, you serve the lord
00:02:04.355 --> 00:02:08.860
Faithfully for such a long time until finally he says,
00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:12.130
All right,
00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:13.231
I'm going to i'm going to raise you up now to be seen.
00:02:13.231 --> 00:02:15.533
Joseph has his dream of where he's going to be.
00:02:15.533 --> 00:02:19.771
But the thing about the dream is that some
00:02:19.771 --> 00:02:21.239
People are not going to understand
00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:22.540
What god has placed over your life, right?
00:02:22.540 --> 00:02:24.442
So the very dream that god gave
00:02:24.442 --> 00:02:26.110
Joseph, it's the very reason his brothers hated him.
00:02:26.110 --> 00:02:29.447
It's the very reason his brothers threw him in
00:02:29.447 --> 00:02:31.449
The pit, tried to kill him instead, sold him into slavery,
00:02:31.449 --> 00:02:35.053
Goes to potter's house,
00:02:35.053 --> 00:02:36.354
Gets falsely accused, and then he's in prison.
00:02:36.354 --> 00:02:39.490
And we would say he's felt right.
00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:42.660
Like you should just give up, bro.
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:44.229
Like the dream is not going to work.
00:02:44.229 --> 00:02:45.730
You you ate some snacks at night.
00:02:45.730 --> 00:02:47.465
Had a crazy dream, right?
00:02:47.465 --> 00:02:49.000
But that's what it means to move by faith.
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.903
And that's what i love about conversations like this.
00:02:51.903 --> 00:02:54.739
And that's why the whole podcast is called
00:02:54.739 --> 00:02:56.741
Believe the impossible.
00:02:56.741 --> 00:02:57.909
I want to encourage people,
00:02:57.909 --> 00:02:59.911
No matter where you are in life right now, no matter what
00:02:59.911 --> 00:03:02.714
Trials are in your way, no matter what giants
00:03:02.714 --> 00:03:06.017
Stand before you.
00:03:06.017 --> 00:03:06.851
My god, our god is bigger than that.
00:03:06.851 --> 00:03:09.787
And if he has spoken it over your life, it will come right?
00:03:09.787 --> 00:03:13.691
It will happen.
00:03:13.691 --> 00:03:15.226
But just because you don't get the position
00:03:15.226 --> 00:03:17.929
Tomorrow, or see the fruit that you want to see,
00:03:17.929 --> 00:03:20.999
Or the success that you think right is success.
00:03:20.999 --> 00:03:24.402
Because really, like you said,
00:03:24.402 --> 00:03:25.603
God said, success for our life is different.
00:03:25.603 --> 00:03:28.806
And so we got to trust that process, right?
00:03:28.806 --> 00:03:31.109
But if he's spoken it over, you continue to move by faith.
00:03:31.109 --> 00:03:35.079
See, the fruit happens a little time because you don't
00:03:35.079 --> 00:03:37.482
Also want to get into that position
00:03:37.482 --> 00:03:38.783
Without the right character. right?
00:03:38.783 --> 00:03:41.619
I have to remind myself
00:03:41.619 --> 00:03:43.288
A lot of times, and i think everybody in
00:03:43.288 --> 00:03:45.490
Our culture would do well to remind themself
00:03:45.490 --> 00:03:47.425
That we've all grown up in a microwave culture.
00:03:47.425 --> 00:03:51.496
Yeah.
00:03:51.496 --> 00:03:52.330
Like we have grown up in a society
00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:56.301
That uses microwaves, has fast
00:03:56.301 --> 00:03:59.370
Food, has fast internet like.
00:03:59.370 --> 00:04:02.907
And what we have to remember is it for pretty much
00:04:02.907 --> 00:04:06.744
All of history,
00:04:06.744 --> 00:04:07.945
Things didn't happen at the pace that they happen for us.
00:04:07.945 --> 00:04:11.082
And then when we read the bible, we can read like
00:04:11.082 --> 00:04:14.319
3 or 4 chapters.
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.787
And for us,
00:04:15.787 --> 00:04:17.055
It took us 15 minutes to read the story of joseph or david.
00:04:17.055 --> 00:04:20.658
But we have to, like, get inside of us. hey!
00:04:20.658 --> 00:04:24.796
From david's anointing.
00:04:25.296 --> 00:04:27.465
Yeah, to becoming king, that's 17 years.
00:04:27.465 --> 00:04:31.135
Yeah.
00:04:31.135 --> 00:04:32.236
From joseph's dream to being second in command was.
00:04:32.236 --> 00:04:35.473
Yeah, like 17, 20 years. yeah. yeah.
00:04:35.473 --> 00:04:38.209
Like.
00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:39.143
And so, so i'm expecting microwave results,
00:04:39.143 --> 00:04:42.413
But god is more like a crockpot kind of god.
00:04:42.413 --> 00:04:44.916
And so that's the other thing.
00:04:44.916 --> 00:04:46.417
Crock pot tastes better by the way for sure.
00:04:46.417 --> 00:04:48.953
So so i think like you have to when you're thinking through
00:04:48.953 --> 00:04:52.023
Okay, i feel like god's called me to do this.
00:04:52.023 --> 00:04:55.059
There's two parts to it.
00:04:55.059 --> 00:04:55.960
It's like, okay,
00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:56.794
Maybe the maybe the success
00:04:56.794 --> 00:04:58.596
Of the results aren't going to look the way
00:04:58.596 --> 00:05:00.431
That i think that they'll look.
00:05:00.431 --> 00:05:01.999
But also maybe they will look that way.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.370
It just will take more time than i think it will take. yeah.
00:05:05.370 --> 00:05:08.272
And so believe in the impossible.
00:05:08.272 --> 00:05:12.043
You know it's not about us determining what we want
00:05:12.043 --> 00:05:15.346
But it's about us saying god what do you want.
00:05:15.346 --> 00:05:17.982
And i'm going to step into that, walk into that
00:05:17.982 --> 00:05:20.084
And and pursue that no matter how long it takes,
00:05:20.084 --> 00:05:23.921
No matter if it looks the way i think it'll look.
00:05:23.921 --> 00:05:26.257
But i think that that's
00:05:26.257 --> 00:05:27.325
Just something else in our culture
00:05:27.325 --> 00:05:28.559
Where people are so used to so fast.
00:05:28.559 --> 00:05:30.528
Yeah, they want
00:05:30.528 --> 00:05:31.896
They want god to answer their prayers now
00:05:31.896 --> 00:05:33.731
Or the prophetic words to be fulfilled now.
00:05:33.731 --> 00:05:36.100
Going to happen. and so that happened next week.
00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.236
It takes time.
00:05:38.236 --> 00:05:39.270
And it can take five years,
00:05:39.270 --> 00:05:40.638
You know, take seven years, take 15 years.
00:05:40.638 --> 00:05:43.040
And it doesn't mean that god has given up on his promise.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.043
And and speaking of that too, because really, what i love
00:05:46.043 --> 00:05:50.181
And we'll get there
00:05:50.181 --> 00:05:51.315
Is that we're seeing, i believe, a revival right now,
00:05:51.315 --> 00:05:55.820
With all my ministry reaching the next generation, like
00:05:55.820 --> 00:05:59.023
They're getting on fire for god, music is turning to the lord.
00:05:59.023 --> 00:06:03.194
Film is turning to the lord.
00:06:03.194 --> 00:06:04.796
Clothing companies are turning to the lord
00:06:04.796 --> 00:06:07.231
To a degree
00:06:07.231 --> 00:06:07.799
Where hollywood is
00:06:07.799 --> 00:06:09.000
Starting to copy what the christian community is doing.
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.770
But in a world where god is moving in such a way,
00:06:12.770 --> 00:06:16.541
Before we get back to like the rest of your story
00:06:16.541 --> 00:06:18.576
Two of how god led you to
00:06:18.576 --> 00:06:19.677
Where you are today, how would you say you also fight
00:06:19.677 --> 00:06:23.381
The human nature of vanity in that way?
00:06:23.381 --> 00:06:26.717
Because
00:06:26.717 --> 00:06:28.753
I believe in every one of us, even though we know
00:06:28.753 --> 00:06:30.521
God is moving in the talents and the gifting comes
00:06:30.521 --> 00:06:33.825
From the lord like it's human
00:06:33.825 --> 00:06:37.328
Nature to want to see more follows, right?
00:06:37.328 --> 00:06:40.832
Want to see more likes?
00:06:40.832 --> 00:06:42.633
Want to see more, more loves, more shares and stuff like that?
00:06:42.633 --> 00:06:45.870
Even as a let's take social media out of it, okay?
00:06:45.870 --> 00:06:48.639
Even as a pastor
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.841
Preaching on a sunday right after you give in your heart
00:06:49.841 --> 00:06:52.543
And soul, you know, to preach this, this word of god,
00:06:52.543 --> 00:06:56.647
You know, you start to think that people even like it.
00:06:56.647 --> 00:06:58.850
The people even received this like nobody told me,
00:06:58.850 --> 00:07:01.686
Good job today. you know what i mean?
00:07:01.686 --> 00:07:02.954
Like we get in our heads over those things.
00:07:02.954 --> 00:07:05.323
So how do you how do you battle vanity?
00:07:05.323 --> 00:07:08.259
How do you keep aligning your heart with what
00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:11.729
The lord has for you? yeah.
00:07:11.729 --> 00:07:14.732
Over the years, there's been a number
00:07:14.732 --> 00:07:16.133
Of different things that i've had to do.
00:07:16.133 --> 00:07:18.035
And different struggles that i've had.
00:07:18.035 --> 00:07:19.804
You know, sometimes comparison, sometimes not so much.
00:07:19.804 --> 00:07:22.974
When i if i feel like i'm in a season
00:07:22.974 --> 00:07:25.643
Or if i feel comparison, then i typically try and pray
00:07:25.643 --> 00:07:29.146
For that other person right away, or repent of it
00:07:29.146 --> 00:07:31.782
And then pray for that other person and bless them. yeah.
00:07:31.782 --> 00:07:35.253
You know, for me, i don't
00:07:35.820 --> 00:07:37.421
I don't know how other people
00:07:37.421 --> 00:07:38.589
Deal with this, but for me,
00:07:38.589 --> 00:07:39.790
When it comes to like, stuff online,
00:07:39.790 --> 00:07:43.261
I think that i've been relatively humbled
00:07:43.261 --> 00:07:46.330
Just internally by even
00:07:46.330 --> 00:07:49.467
I, you know, i felt the, the highs and i felt the lows.
00:07:49.467 --> 00:07:53.170
I've had lots of stuff go big and go viral,
00:07:53.170 --> 00:07:57.375
And i've had lots of stuff not do very well.
00:07:57.375 --> 00:08:00.044
Like, for example, right now,
00:08:00.044 --> 00:08:01.679
Like my tiktok channel that has 1.7 million followers.
00:08:01.679 --> 00:08:05.349
I don't hard to get any views.
00:08:05.349 --> 00:08:07.752
And i don't know why.
00:08:07.752 --> 00:08:08.753
You know, i don't know if the algorithm has
00:08:08.753 --> 00:08:12.023
The shadow ban or whatever it is.
00:08:12.723 --> 00:08:14.825
I'm not blaming this or that, i don't, i don't know. yeah.
00:08:14.825 --> 00:08:17.395
And so i think that there's a built in humility there where
00:08:17.395 --> 00:08:20.431
It's like, mathematically like this doesn't even make sense.
00:08:20.431 --> 00:08:23.734
How low. oh my god.
00:08:23.734 --> 00:08:25.803
Yeah.
00:08:25.803 --> 00:08:26.671
So i try not to focus on that stuff.
00:08:26.671 --> 00:08:29.006
It of course it is human nature, but i think the lord's
00:08:29.006 --> 00:08:32.577
Brought me to a place personally where what i'm trying to do in
00:08:32.577 --> 00:08:35.646
My life is obey him.
00:08:35.646 --> 00:08:39.283
What he's asked me to do, no matter the results.
00:08:39.283 --> 00:08:42.019
Because to be quite honest,
00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:43.087
Like right now, when it comes to digitally,
00:08:43.087 --> 00:08:46.090
It would be really easy for me
00:08:46.691 --> 00:08:48.025
To stop doing digital stuff because it's like, yeah,
00:08:48.025 --> 00:08:50.861
It doesn't seem like it's working anymore.
00:08:50.861 --> 00:08:52.496
So where we started was, this isn't working.
00:08:52.496 --> 00:08:54.699
Like i'm getting ten views on my youtube videos.
00:08:54.699 --> 00:08:56.867
And then it grew to this place where it's working like crazy.
00:08:56.867 --> 00:09:00.605
We're reaching 50, 60 million views a year.
00:09:00.605 --> 00:09:05.109
And which is why i step further into this,
00:09:05.109 --> 00:09:06.978
Because there's so many people that are being reached.
00:09:06.978 --> 00:09:10.548
And, and you know, now at this season,
00:09:10.548 --> 00:09:13.017
Our views are not as as high as they were before.
00:09:13.017 --> 00:09:17.188
But i'm trying to say, well, lord, what is your call?
00:09:17.188 --> 00:09:21.025
And if it's not to do this anymore,
00:09:21.792 --> 00:09:23.494
That's a good reason to stop.
00:09:23.494 --> 00:09:25.029
But if it's
00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:26.263
Because i'm feeling like, oh, it's i'm not getting the likes
00:09:26.263 --> 00:09:29.467
Or the followers or whatever, like that doesn't matter.
00:09:29.467 --> 00:09:31.969
Because what the lord is after is his outcomes.
00:09:31.969 --> 00:09:36.907
And sometimes it's one person.
00:09:36.907 --> 00:09:38.576
There are times that jesus went all across the sea of galilee
00:09:38.576 --> 00:09:41.846
For one guy,
00:09:41.846 --> 00:09:43.214
And there's other times that he's preaching to 5000.
00:09:43.214 --> 00:09:45.616
And so the heart of the lord is for the one or for the many.
00:09:45.616 --> 00:09:48.619
And we have to realize that in our life and in our world,
00:09:48.619 --> 00:09:52.023
That's so much about bigger, bigger,
00:09:52.023 --> 00:09:53.824
Better, bigger celebrity, this and that.
00:09:53.824 --> 00:09:56.927
I think that
00:09:56.927 --> 00:09:58.029
We all have to remember that no matter who we are,
00:09:58.029 --> 00:10:00.364
Sometimes god desires for us to be in front of one,
00:10:00.364 --> 00:10:03.467
Sometimes 100, sometimes a thousand, sometimes a million.
00:10:03.467 --> 00:10:06.470
And we have to steward whoever is he's put us in front of,
00:10:06.470 --> 00:10:09.940
According to his call for our life.
00:10:09.940 --> 00:10:12.176
And so i don't know about you, but i feel like
00:10:12.176 --> 00:10:14.979
I've had enough built in humility from failures.
00:10:14.979 --> 00:10:18.916
Then,
00:10:18.916 --> 00:10:20.551
You know, and,
00:10:20.885 --> 00:10:22.053
Lord rebuke me if i experience pride at different times.
00:10:22.053 --> 00:10:25.156
But i don't
00:10:25.156 --> 00:10:27.124
At least digitally speaking.
00:10:27.124 --> 00:10:28.192
I'm feeling that, you know, in some ways.
00:10:28.192 --> 00:10:30.094
But i also have other built in things like,
00:10:30.094 --> 00:10:33.364
I have i have an intercessory prayer team
00:10:33.364 --> 00:10:36.233
That that prays for our ministry.
00:10:36.233 --> 00:10:37.802
There's the first team that i built.
00:10:37.802 --> 00:10:38.969
We started it other than other than our board.
00:10:38.969 --> 00:10:41.572
And then we have our board that,
00:10:41.572 --> 00:10:44.975
Four got three other guys other than me and my wife
00:10:44.975 --> 00:10:48.079
That have all access to all of my social media accounts
00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:51.048
And my location everywhere that i go.
00:10:51.048 --> 00:10:53.651
And so they're tracking me and they have access to any dms
00:10:53.651 --> 00:10:57.354
And anything, anything like that that's going on.
00:10:57.354 --> 00:10:59.890
And so that's just that's a little bit
00:10:59.890 --> 00:11:01.258
More in terms of like protection.
00:11:01.258 --> 00:11:02.727
Character. protection. but you mentioned character.
00:11:02.727 --> 00:11:05.262
Yeah. and it's just such an important thing
00:11:05.262 --> 00:11:06.864
In this generation. yeah.
00:11:06.864 --> 00:11:08.232
There's so many things are hidden and so many
00:11:08.232 --> 00:11:11.202
Like we talked about on sunday, there's so many
00:11:11.202 --> 00:11:13.704
Stories of people that are falling.
00:11:13.704 --> 00:11:15.806
Yeah, moral failures, things like this that we have to
00:11:15.806 --> 00:11:19.510
Be really careful that
00:11:19.510 --> 00:11:21.378
The gifting that god's put in us isn't taking us to places
00:11:21.378 --> 00:11:24.115
That our character can't keep us. yeah.
00:11:24.115 --> 00:11:26.117
Or not becoming just about our talents and less about god.
00:11:26.117 --> 00:11:29.320
That's when it becomes a dangerous thing.
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.888
And so for me too, it's i have this prayer
00:11:30.888 --> 00:11:34.558
And it just changes my perspective.
00:11:35.292 --> 00:11:37.495
All right.
00:11:37.495 --> 00:11:38.329
Instead of trying to please people
00:11:38.329 --> 00:11:39.296
And and i believe no matter how many times
00:11:39.296 --> 00:11:40.498
You preach, you could preach a thousand sermons,
00:11:40.498 --> 00:11:44.635
But every time you get up there, you got some nerves
00:11:44.635 --> 00:11:46.871
And you feel it and you're thinking,
00:11:46.871 --> 00:11:48.339
Alright, god, can i do this today?
00:11:48.339 --> 00:11:49.874
I think every pastor battles that on a saturday night.
00:11:49.874 --> 00:11:54.011
Or if you're preaching on a saturday night,
00:11:54.011 --> 00:11:55.746
Like you're battling it right before, like,
00:11:55.746 --> 00:11:57.915
Can i do this today? can i still bring the word?
00:11:57.915 --> 00:12:00.484
Can i not mess up?
00:12:00.484 --> 00:12:01.752
And so, i don't know, i just started praying this lord,
00:12:01.752 --> 00:12:05.322
Can i please you?
00:12:05.756 --> 00:12:07.258
Right. like, does this please you?
00:12:07.258 --> 00:12:08.893
Right?
00:12:08.893 --> 00:12:09.894
Like in my eyes this looks like a success today.
00:12:09.894 --> 00:12:11.929
But was it to you?
00:12:11.929 --> 00:12:13.397
Right?
00:12:13.397 --> 00:12:14.365
Like, are you pleased with the sermon today?
00:12:14.365 --> 00:12:17.368
Are you pleased with the leadership team today?
00:12:17.368 --> 00:12:19.403
Are you pleased with what i'm posting online?
00:12:19.403 --> 00:12:22.106
Are you pleased with the reach? and clearly to
00:12:22.106 --> 00:12:25.442
God is doing supernatural things for both of us.
00:12:26.377 --> 00:12:28.879
We've seen things that we could never control, right?
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.482
We can never force
00:12:31.482 --> 00:12:32.583
Or make happen like he's decided it to to take place.
00:12:32.583 --> 00:12:35.786
But what you say is so good because also,
00:12:36.687 --> 00:12:39.290
You know, how easy would it be to get inside of your head
00:12:39.290 --> 00:12:42.860
Of thinking like, all right, this season, right now
00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:45.029
I'm not seeing the same numbers i used to see.
00:12:45.029 --> 00:12:46.997
Am i feeling god? am i, am i?
00:12:46.997 --> 00:12:49.333
Am i doing things the wrong way?
00:12:49.333 --> 00:12:51.168
Is it all going to fall apart?
00:12:51.168 --> 00:12:52.570
And that's where anxiety and fear
00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:53.771
Wants to become your god, right? you know?
00:12:53.771 --> 00:12:55.873
And so get back to the real reason
00:12:55.873 --> 00:12:57.474
You did this in the first place. it's for the one, right?
00:12:57.474 --> 00:13:00.211
It's for obedience.
00:13:00.211 --> 00:13:01.378
Honestly, more than anything else, obey god
00:13:01.378 --> 00:13:04.782
And he will always come through,
00:13:04.782 --> 00:13:05.983
Right, even when it looks impossible.
00:13:05.983 --> 00:13:07.551
And so
00:13:07.551 --> 00:13:08.652
I love your story, brother, because
00:13:08.652 --> 00:13:10.688
You really didn't plan for any of this to happen.
00:13:10.688 --> 00:13:13.224
No, you get this idea, this confirmation from this,
00:13:13.224 --> 00:13:16.160
This girl that says, hey,
00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:17.261
I would love for you to explain the bible.
00:13:17.261 --> 00:13:19.029
You start, you start explaining it.
00:13:19.029 --> 00:13:20.831
So where does it go from there?
00:13:20.831 --> 00:13:22.733
It starts to take off on tiktok.
00:13:22.733 --> 00:13:25.302
Yeah.
00:13:25.302 --> 00:13:26.370
And then kind of where where did it go from there?
00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:28.939
Yeah.
00:13:29.173 --> 00:13:30.241
I mean, like i said, i finished the year on youtube
00:13:30.241 --> 00:13:32.643
And so essentially had a 365
00:13:32.643 --> 00:13:35.746
Daily devotional bible videos that anybody can go see. and,
00:13:35.746 --> 00:13:38.782
Since then we have done far more of them.
00:13:39.617 --> 00:13:41.852
So there's, you know, probably 4 or 500 of those.
00:13:41.852 --> 00:13:45.456
If anybody needs help learning how to read the bible,
00:13:45.456 --> 00:13:48.425
You can find those on youtube now.
00:13:48.425 --> 00:13:51.061
But yes, from june 9th, 2020
00:13:51.061 --> 00:13:53.530
On, we added we added tiktok.
00:13:53.530 --> 00:13:56.734
I did 2 to 3
00:13:56.734 --> 00:13:57.902
Maybe videos a day, every day for probably a few years
00:13:57.902 --> 00:14:02.606
At at a certain point i added instagram, which there's
00:14:02.606 --> 00:14:06.744
I guess an interesting story behind that.
00:14:06.744 --> 00:14:08.612
I, i had had an instagram,
00:14:08.612 --> 00:14:11.649
But i wasn't like, again, i'm not like a,
00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:13.617
I wasn't like a social media guy. i just,
00:14:13.617 --> 00:14:16.954
And what was so
00:14:17.321 --> 00:14:18.088
Unique though is for, for a long time
00:14:18.088 --> 00:14:21.091
After god was using me to reach people on tiktok
00:14:21.091 --> 00:14:24.628
With the gospel and bible videos,
00:14:24.628 --> 00:14:26.830
I never posted any of that stuff on instagram.
00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:29.767
And the reason why is because
00:14:29.767 --> 00:14:33.203
I was thinking about a specific demographic of people,
00:14:33.203 --> 00:14:37.241
And it was other pastors that i knew
00:14:37.241 --> 00:14:40.945
And my thought of them and what they would think of me,
00:14:40.945 --> 00:14:44.381
Is what stopped me from posting any of the content
00:14:44.381 --> 00:14:47.451
That was reaching people and working on tiktok, on instagram,
00:14:47.451 --> 00:14:51.655
Because i was afraid that other pastors were going to think
00:14:51.655 --> 00:14:55.960
That i was trying to be somebody, that i was trying to,
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.830
That i thought i was special, that i thought it was whatever.
00:14:59.830 --> 00:15:02.900
And i finally reached this place where i'm like, god
00:15:02.900 --> 00:15:05.836
Is doing something so unique
00:15:05.836 --> 00:15:09.773
And reaching people not only
00:15:10.374 --> 00:15:11.775
In america, but all over the globe. yeah.
00:15:11.775 --> 00:15:13.777
I mean, i had this revelation, like, i'm sure you did.
00:15:13.777 --> 00:15:16.280
Yeah. we're we're living in a time
00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:19.350
That is so unprecedented in the history of humanity
00:15:19.350 --> 00:15:23.020
That i'm convinced if the apostle paul was here,
00:15:23.020 --> 00:15:25.789
He would be on these social media apps,
00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:27.591
Not because i think that they're good places to be.
00:15:27.591 --> 00:15:29.660
Like, my kids aren't on tiktok.
00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:31.195
Yeah, but because 4 billion people spend numerous hours
00:15:31.195 --> 00:15:36.667
A day on social media trolling and these are mindlessly. yes.
00:15:36.667 --> 00:15:40.537
And a lot of these people are living in nations that
00:15:40.537 --> 00:15:43.941
They don't even have
00:15:43.941 --> 00:15:44.775
Running water in their house,
00:15:44.775 --> 00:15:46.243
But they have a phone with internet in their pocket.
00:15:46.243 --> 00:15:48.746
Yeah.
00:15:48.746 --> 00:15:49.780
And so we're reaching people put it like this.
00:15:49.780 --> 00:15:52.783
People all over the globe are being influenced
00:15:52.783 --> 00:15:56.053
To something or somebody by somebody else.
00:15:56.053 --> 00:16:00.491
And so if the church isn't there
00:16:00.491 --> 00:16:02.726
Influencing them onto jesus then we're missing it.
00:16:02.726 --> 00:16:06.463
Yeah.
00:16:06.463 --> 00:16:07.131
And so i had this revelation
00:16:07.131 --> 00:16:08.298
That finally i was like, you know what?
00:16:08.298 --> 00:16:10.434
It doesn't matter what any pastor thinks about me,
00:16:10.434 --> 00:16:13.771
The content god is using to reach the quote unquote
00:16:13.771 --> 00:16:18.242
Normal regular lost person who's doomscrolling in their room
00:16:18.242 --> 00:16:23.113
At night looking for hope, looking for something.
00:16:23.113 --> 00:16:26.450
If my video can reach that person,
00:16:26.450 --> 00:16:28.452
It doesn't matter what some pastor thinks to me,
00:16:28.452 --> 00:16:30.320
They can unfollow me if they want.
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:31.722
Yeah, i'm not trying to be.
00:16:31.722 --> 00:16:33.891
I'm just trying to to share the gospel.
00:16:33.891 --> 00:16:36.126
And so i eventually started posting on instagram as well.
00:16:36.126 --> 00:16:38.862
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:38.862 --> 00:16:39.396
And then, you know,
00:16:39.396 --> 00:16:40.364
Youtube shorts and eventually even facebook.
00:16:40.364 --> 00:16:43.634
I thought facebook was dead.
00:16:43.634 --> 00:16:44.835
But they for me, i thought facebook was going nowhere.
00:16:44.835 --> 00:16:47.171
And then all of a sudden, like ours kind of took off.
00:16:47.171 --> 00:16:49.106
I gained 100,000 followers in a month, one month.
00:16:49.106 --> 00:16:51.542
And i was like, whoa, boomers need jesus too.
00:16:51.542 --> 00:16:53.610
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:53.610 --> 00:16:54.578
And so, like, where we're at is, you know what?
00:16:54.578 --> 00:16:57.681
Again, whatever the social media platform,
00:16:57.681 --> 00:17:00.651
There are people there that are being influenced to something.
00:17:00.651 --> 00:17:03.821
If we have content that is going to lead them to jesus, i'm
00:17:03.821 --> 00:17:07.324
Gonna put it out.
00:17:07.324 --> 00:17:07.991
Yeah.
00:17:07.991 --> 00:17:09.226
And, and so you just got to that place where a few years in,
00:17:09.226 --> 00:17:13.464
Still full time pastor, we felt like we had to ask the lord.
00:17:13.464 --> 00:17:17.534
Hey, because i knew that it wasn't me.
00:17:17.534 --> 00:17:20.571
You know, it's not because of anything we do.
00:17:20.571 --> 00:17:23.107
Really. a value in the kingdom.
00:17:23.107 --> 00:17:24.541
God uses us and we partner with him.
00:17:24.541 --> 00:17:26.710
But it's not because we're.
00:17:26.710 --> 00:17:28.579
He empowers it.
00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.480
It's his anointing, his grace.
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:31.281
So we said, lord, you did this.
00:17:31.281 --> 00:17:34.318
It's your platform.
00:17:34.318 --> 00:17:36.253
How do you want us to steward it?
00:17:36.253 --> 00:17:38.188
Why did you do this? and what do you expect of us?
00:17:38.188 --> 00:17:40.257
And i felt like the lord said,
00:17:40.257 --> 00:17:41.959
I want you to step off of your full time role
00:17:41.959 --> 00:17:44.761
At the church and and give more to this.
00:17:44.761 --> 00:17:48.332
And that was kind of recent.
00:17:48.332 --> 00:17:49.867
That was in 2022, 2022.
00:17:49.867 --> 00:17:51.735
Yeah. okay.
00:17:51.735 --> 00:17:52.669
Full time at the church until then. yeah.
00:17:52.669 --> 00:17:54.872
But we're local church people, so i knew that i was to stay on
00:17:54.872 --> 00:17:58.008
As an elder, stay on as a pastor,
00:17:58.008 --> 00:17:59.643
Stay on the preaching team, keep running my small group.
00:17:59.643 --> 00:18:02.346
I basically became an unpaid staff pastor.
00:18:02.346 --> 00:18:06.150
But i stepped off of the staff and gave,
00:18:06.984 --> 00:18:09.753
More time to both the digital and traveling and preaching.
00:18:09.753 --> 00:18:13.190
Yeah.
00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:14.291
And so we put out about a thousand pieces of content
00:18:14.291 --> 00:18:16.894
A year now, and,
00:18:16.894 --> 00:18:19.963
We live stream if i'm in town four days a week,
00:18:19.963 --> 00:18:22.933
Which is we actually do the live bible time again,
00:18:22.933 --> 00:18:26.270
Four days a week, live streaming at 2 p.m.
00:18:26.270 --> 00:18:28.972
Central, noon pacific.
00:18:28.972 --> 00:18:30.474
That's, that's, the bible time stuff.
00:18:30.474 --> 00:18:32.242
And then we put out
00:18:32.242 --> 00:18:33.343
Short form content, about a thousand pieces of gear.
00:18:33.343 --> 00:18:36.480
And then i travel and preach.
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.915
So that's where we're at, because that.
00:18:37.915 --> 00:18:39.216
Brings a very interesting topic.
00:18:39.216 --> 00:18:41.018
Like we're seeing the fruit from online ministry.
00:18:41.018 --> 00:18:44.488
We're seeing what i believe is god speaking to people.
00:18:44.488 --> 00:18:48.392
And people are walking in obedience
00:18:48.392 --> 00:18:50.594
And kind of uncharted territory a little bit because it's
00:18:50.594 --> 00:18:53.964
A little bit different.
00:18:53.964 --> 00:18:55.065
You know, the lord spoke to me about two years ago,
00:18:55.065 --> 00:18:59.670
And i felt from the lord that he spoke that there's
00:18:59.670 --> 00:19:02.172
Going to be a revival for the next generation.
00:19:02.172 --> 00:19:05.309
And something i've always prayed about.
00:19:05.309 --> 00:19:06.643
We talked about this is like a billy graham revival.
00:19:06.643 --> 00:19:08.946
Like, i would love to see stadiums
00:19:08.946 --> 00:19:10.581
Packed out again for jesus
00:19:10.581 --> 00:19:12.583
And his people willing to give their life to god, you know?
00:19:12.583 --> 00:19:15.919
But i felt like the lord said, it's
00:19:15.919 --> 00:19:17.054
Going to be a little different this time.
00:19:17.054 --> 00:19:19.323
It's not going to look the same.
00:19:19.323 --> 00:19:20.424
It's going to look different, and it's going to be
00:19:20.424 --> 00:19:22.659
A lot online.
00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.760
And i believe that's what we're seeing today.
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:25.162
At the same time, there's a lot of division over the topic.
00:19:25.162 --> 00:19:28.365
Right.
00:19:28.565 --> 00:19:29.499
And so there's a lot of like, well, no,
00:19:29.499 --> 00:19:31.568
You can't be a pastor online.
00:19:31.568 --> 00:19:33.537
You need to be,
00:19:33.537 --> 00:19:34.571
You know, you're taken away from the local church.
00:19:34.571 --> 00:19:36.406
And i think there's a like a misconception over,
00:19:36.406 --> 00:19:39.977
You know, what people online are doing
00:19:40.811 --> 00:19:42.779
As far as bringing people to gospel.
00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:44.281
Because like you said, we even have like underground churches
00:19:44.281 --> 00:19:47.351
That watch us
00:19:47.718 --> 00:19:48.852
Places that we can never reach and never go physically,
00:19:48.852 --> 00:19:52.689
That are able to watch us every single sunday
00:19:52.689 --> 00:19:55.392
And see the messages here.
00:19:55.392 --> 00:19:56.560
And we're seeing the testimonies of people,
00:19:56.560 --> 00:19:59.062
So many people are
00:19:59.062 --> 00:20:00.264
Messaging the church saying, i almost committed suicide.
00:20:00.264 --> 00:20:03.567
But because of the
00:20:04.001 --> 00:20:05.235
Word that came from this church, my life has been changed. wow.
00:20:05.235 --> 00:20:08.705
My marriage was almost completely done.
00:20:08.705 --> 00:20:12.042
But you had no idea the series that you were preaching
00:20:12.042 --> 00:20:14.578
Saved my marriage.
00:20:14.578 --> 00:20:15.545
I mean, i have tons of emails, and i actually,
00:20:15.545 --> 00:20:18.882
People don't really know this, but i save a lot
00:20:18.882 --> 00:20:20.617
Of these emails.
00:20:20.617 --> 00:20:21.918
I look at them from time to time
00:20:21.918 --> 00:20:23.053
Because there's going to be days,
00:20:23.053 --> 00:20:24.888
No matter what god is doing,
00:20:25.489 --> 00:20:27.190
There's going to be days where i get in my own head.
00:20:27.190 --> 00:20:28.892
I'm like, god is is still working, right?
00:20:28.892 --> 00:20:31.128
Like, am i still like, do you want me?
00:20:31.128 --> 00:20:33.764
You know what i mean?
00:20:33.764 --> 00:20:34.698
Like, i'm not qualified for this. i'm not.
00:20:34.698 --> 00:20:36.700
I don't know if i could do this.
00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.934
I don't know if i feel smart enough today like, you know, and
00:20:37.934 --> 00:20:41.405
I look at those emails and i realize this is not about
00:20:41.405 --> 00:20:44.007
Me, right?
00:20:44.007 --> 00:20:45.108
It's about being obedient to god, about the kingdom.
00:20:45.108 --> 00:20:48.512
And he's doing things, but
00:20:48.512 --> 00:20:50.614
I don't know what would you speak to people
00:20:50.614 --> 00:20:51.948
That are kind of on the fence on the online discipleship?
00:20:51.948 --> 00:20:56.286
You know, i,
00:20:56.286 --> 00:20:57.454
I just don't know enough about it or just seems wrong.
00:20:57.454 --> 00:20:59.856
And are you taking people from the local church,
00:20:59.856 --> 00:21:01.958
Which is not it's not what we're doing.
00:21:01.958 --> 00:21:04.328
But what would you say to that?
00:21:04.961 --> 00:21:07.130
Well, i recognize that that people have different
00:21:07.130 --> 00:21:09.900
Views and opinions and, so
00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:13.503
My perspective is that
00:21:13.970 --> 00:21:17.841
This is what we always say.
00:21:18.442 --> 00:21:19.743
We always say that what we're doing
00:21:19.743 --> 00:21:22.846
Online is a supplement, but not a substitute.
00:21:22.846 --> 00:21:27.851
And so i firmly believe in the local church like you're
00:21:27.851 --> 00:21:31.722
A local church pastor.
00:21:31.722 --> 00:21:33.523
I think that god designed us
00:21:33.523 --> 00:21:36.426
To be in community with people
00:21:36.426 --> 00:21:39.663
I also recognize, like we've discussed already,
00:21:39.663 --> 00:21:42.766
That 4 billion people spend time online.
00:21:42.766 --> 00:21:48.572
And so what what does the church do with that?
00:21:48.572 --> 00:21:50.907
The church can either run
00:21:50.907 --> 00:21:52.409
Completely from the internet, which i think would be
00:21:52.409 --> 00:21:55.545
An extreme disservice to the opportunity
00:21:56.413 --> 00:21:59.483
That the lord has, because.
00:21:59.483 --> 00:22:00.851
The platforms belong to the. devil.
00:22:00.851 --> 00:22:02.285
Exactly like what you're saying.
00:22:02.285 --> 00:22:03.420
Let me throw my hands, just hand.
00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:04.621
All this influence to to the devil.
00:22:04.621 --> 00:22:06.423
But yeah, the devil or some of these ungodly.
00:22:06.423 --> 00:22:09.025
But so i think just like anything in life,
00:22:09.025 --> 00:22:11.595
You have to wield something that god's given you
00:22:11.595 --> 00:22:14.297
In a godly way.
00:22:14.297 --> 00:22:15.999
And even good things
00:22:15.999 --> 00:22:17.934
We can wield or steward in ungodly ways.
00:22:17.934 --> 00:22:20.170
People do it all the time with whatever.
00:22:20.170 --> 00:22:22.139
And so i, i believe that what we're doing online,
00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:26.510
Has, has proven to be
00:22:27.010 --> 00:22:29.479
A great supplement in evangelistic efforts.
00:22:29.479 --> 00:22:32.983
Yeah.
00:22:32.983 --> 00:22:33.617
Reaching people, teaching,
00:22:33.617 --> 00:22:36.553
Even discipleship.
00:22:36.987 --> 00:22:38.855
And so but it's it's like from my ministry, it is our goal
00:22:38.855 --> 00:22:42.459
Always to not become the only thing for somebody,
00:22:42.459 --> 00:22:46.963
But to
00:22:46.963 --> 00:22:47.798
Allow what we're doing with them,
00:22:47.798 --> 00:22:49.599
Whether at the evangelistic level
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:51.735
Or at the discipleship level, which is taking people deeper.
00:22:51.735 --> 00:22:55.238
But then also always encourage them to get involved
00:22:56.239 --> 00:22:58.975
In a local faith community if they can.
00:22:58.975 --> 00:23:01.511
Yeah.
00:23:01.511 --> 00:23:02.112
Now, here's the thing.
00:23:02.112 --> 00:23:03.580
Like there are people around the globe,
00:23:03.580 --> 00:23:05.782
They're being reached, being reached that don't have
00:23:05.782 --> 00:23:09.553
A local community that they could even choose to go to.
00:23:09.553 --> 00:23:13.023
Like, i remember leading a 19 year old girl
00:23:13.023 --> 00:23:15.859
From zambia to the lord through instagram dms.
00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:19.529
I mean, i'm talking like voice dms on instagram.
00:23:19.529 --> 00:23:22.632
I'm holding the button saying, hey, this is what the gospel is.
00:23:22.632 --> 00:23:25.802
Do you want that?
00:23:26.236 --> 00:23:27.204
She right back. yes, i want that.
00:23:27.204 --> 00:23:29.806
I'm like, okay,
00:23:29.806 --> 00:23:30.774
This is what it means to surrender to jesus.
00:23:31.675 --> 00:23:33.643
You want to do that? yes, i want to do that.
00:23:33.643 --> 00:23:35.111
Okay. here's a prayer.
00:23:35.111 --> 00:23:36.112
I'm like, literally leading her in a prayer.
00:23:36.112 --> 00:23:38.114
And then i know it's the next steps.
00:23:38.114 --> 00:23:39.883
Read the bible. if you need help with that, go to my youtube.
00:23:39.883 --> 00:23:42.486
Pray. seek the lord. find a local church.
00:23:42.486 --> 00:23:45.288
She's like, there's no local churches here.
00:23:45.288 --> 00:23:47.257
What should i do?
00:23:47.257 --> 00:23:48.225
I'm like, well, just, you know, choose one
00:23:48.225 --> 00:23:49.493
Because i'm thinking american.
00:23:49.493 --> 00:23:50.660
Yeah, there's. 80 around here.
00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:52.229
Like just choose one. yeah.
00:23:52.229 --> 00:23:53.697
She's like, no, there are literally zero. wow.
00:23:53.697 --> 00:23:56.900
And so yes, like
00:23:57.300 --> 00:24:00.270
Maybe the online.
00:24:00.270 --> 00:24:01.738
Needed is. exactly
00:24:01.738 --> 00:24:03.039
What little house churches need all around the globe.
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.876
And so you know i think for me.
00:24:05.876 --> 00:24:10.614
People are being reached.
00:24:11.181 --> 00:24:12.582
People are being discipled.
00:24:12.582 --> 00:24:13.917
People are growing in their faith.
00:24:13.917 --> 00:24:15.986
And i'm trying my best through our ministry to help people
00:24:15.986 --> 00:24:20.023
Find local faith communities where they can be with person,
00:24:20.023 --> 00:24:23.560
With other people in person as well.
00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:25.595
Yeah. yeah, it's so needed.
00:24:25.595 --> 00:24:28.064
And like i said, the fruit of this is insane right now.
00:24:28.064 --> 00:24:32.502
People giving their lives over to jesus and
00:24:32.502 --> 00:24:36.072
Just the way we're seeing culture, i mean, for
00:24:36.072 --> 00:24:38.341
I believe, you know, when we were in high school,
00:24:38.341 --> 00:24:40.377
It would have been unheard of
00:24:40.377 --> 00:24:41.878
For a christian artist to be like number one, right?
00:24:41.878 --> 00:24:46.049
You know, the song charts, right?
00:24:46.049 --> 00:24:47.551
Like we're seeing today, right now, my kids
00:24:47.551 --> 00:24:49.452
Love for frank and all that, you know what i mean?
00:24:49.452 --> 00:24:51.221
Like, that's the.
00:24:51.221 --> 00:24:52.489
But the music and just everything has its change.
00:24:52.489 --> 00:24:56.092
But at the same time,
00:24:56.092 --> 00:24:57.160
Like, all this, all creativity should glorify god.
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.096
The devil is trying to take it.
00:25:00.730 --> 00:25:02.065
He's trying to steal it all like the devil has no new tricks.
00:25:02.065 --> 00:25:05.135
Everything that we see around us was created by the lord.
00:25:05.135 --> 00:25:08.038
God has given us creativity.
00:25:08.038 --> 00:25:10.106
It should all be used to glorify god.
00:25:10.106 --> 00:25:12.175
We should never say, okay,
00:25:12.175 --> 00:25:13.343
This thing over here, that's influencing,
00:25:13.343 --> 00:25:15.946
You know, most of the world that belongs to the devil.
00:25:15.946 --> 00:25:19.015
No, because then you give the power over to the devil,
00:25:19.015 --> 00:25:22.152
And every day is a spiritual fight, right?
00:25:22.152 --> 00:25:25.055
You know, like we see out of ephesians,
00:25:25.055 --> 00:25:26.656
It is a spiritual fight.
00:25:26.656 --> 00:25:27.691
We're fighting against principalities and,
00:25:27.691 --> 00:25:30.560
Dark principalities that want to invade your home.
00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:33.196
How did they do it? they come through the screen.
00:25:33.196 --> 00:25:35.465
You know what i mean by the things that you allow
00:25:35.465 --> 00:25:37.500
Into your eyes, into your heart, into your mind.
00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:40.236
And there's a reason right now
00:25:40.236 --> 00:25:41.738
So many people are full of depression.
00:25:41.738 --> 00:25:43.440
Because if you listen to worldly songs,
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.309
It's mostly about depression, is mostly about cheating.
00:25:46.309 --> 00:25:49.145
It's mostly about partying. like, right.
00:25:49.145 --> 00:25:51.081
And people are living that lifestyle when they're tired of.
00:25:51.081 --> 00:25:53.950
I think the rise of christianity right now, it's because people
00:25:53.950 --> 00:25:57.220
Are finally fed up with just the fake, right?
00:25:57.220 --> 00:26:01.091
The counterfeit.
00:26:01.091 --> 00:26:02.392
It's not helping me and it's not blessing me.
00:26:02.392 --> 00:26:05.695
But again, what i love about your story
00:26:05.695 --> 00:26:07.998
Is, is that you get to a point like you just said,
00:26:07.998 --> 00:26:11.001
God clearly has told you to
00:26:11.601 --> 00:26:13.036
Do something again by faith,
00:26:13.036 --> 00:26:16.072
And it was to leave the position
00:26:16.072 --> 00:26:18.475
To pursue this full time.
00:26:18.475 --> 00:26:21.277
And for somebody watching right now,
00:26:21.277 --> 00:26:24.381
What can you tell them to encourage them?
00:26:24.381 --> 00:26:26.249
Keep believing, keep trusting in god, because,
00:26:26.249 --> 00:26:29.819
You know, people kind of get the highlight reels
00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:31.855
Of our stories, right?
00:26:31.855 --> 00:26:33.056
And that's why i love conversations like this,
00:26:33.056 --> 00:26:34.691
Because even in this moment, it's kind of like,
00:26:34.691 --> 00:26:37.293
I don't know, you know, like, yeah,
00:26:37.293 --> 00:26:38.962
There are a lot of ups and downs.
00:26:38.962 --> 00:26:40.497
I'm sure there are a lot of times where you're still
00:26:40.497 --> 00:26:43.466
Praying to the lord.
00:26:43.466 --> 00:26:44.234
Did i, did i make the right move?
00:26:44.234 --> 00:26:45.735
Oh, yeah. but 100% right.
00:26:45.735 --> 00:26:47.570
What would you say to them, and how can you kind of explain
00:26:47.570 --> 00:26:50.206
To where god has placed you now?
00:26:50.206 --> 00:26:52.942
Oh man, i think yeah.
00:26:53.443 --> 00:26:55.679
If we're going to like, sort of draw a conclusion,
00:26:55.679 --> 00:26:58.815
You know, my encouragement always, again,
00:26:59.649 --> 00:27:01.918
Is if you feel like the lord has called you to do something,
00:27:01.918 --> 00:27:06.022
Obedience is winning and you should do that.
00:27:06.022 --> 00:27:08.992
And also, especially in light of like,
00:27:08.992 --> 00:27:11.327
The culture we're living in and especially online.
00:27:11.327 --> 00:27:14.230
I think that the definition of sort of godly
00:27:14.230 --> 00:27:18.234
Ambition or godly fame, if i could use that.
00:27:18.234 --> 00:27:21.337
That term is found in matthew chapter
00:27:21.337 --> 00:27:24.340
Five, chapter five, i think 516 of this.
00:27:24.340 --> 00:27:27.343
I think, you know, for so long
00:27:27.343 --> 00:27:30.346
I would run from the idea
00:27:30.346 --> 00:27:33.049
Of being seen for the pursuit of humility.
00:27:33.049 --> 00:27:37.187
But i think jesus tells us exactly what it looks like.
00:27:37.187 --> 00:27:40.957
He says, let your light shine before men.
00:27:40.957 --> 00:27:44.360
So they might see your good deeds.
00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:47.964
And so if god has put a gift
00:27:47.964 --> 00:27:51.101
In, you put a calling in you, put something in you.
00:27:51.101 --> 00:27:54.838
And to hide that from the world whether online or in person.
00:27:54.838 --> 00:27:58.908
Yeah.
00:27:59.142 --> 00:28:00.276
You, you might be doing the kingdom a disservice because
00:28:00.276 --> 00:28:03.012
Actually what the world, what the dark world needs to see
00:28:03.012 --> 00:28:07.250
Is believers who are shining and doing good things
00:28:07.250 --> 00:28:10.720
For the lord.
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:11.354
But here's
00:28:11.354 --> 00:28:12.555
The kicker is jesus says, let your light shine before men
00:28:12.555 --> 00:28:15.225
So they might see your good deeds
00:28:15.225 --> 00:28:16.693
And give glory to your father in heaven.
00:28:16.693 --> 00:28:19.529
And so i think that we have
00:28:19.529 --> 00:28:20.897
A responsibility
00:28:20.897 --> 00:28:21.765
To look at the wake of our life and say
00:28:21.765 --> 00:28:23.600
Is the things that i'm doing,
00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:25.769
Is it getting people to glorify me? yeah.
00:28:25.769 --> 00:28:28.071
Or is it getting is it is it urging people to see
00:28:28.071 --> 00:28:31.241
What i'm doing and the the hearts are inclined
00:28:31.241 --> 00:28:33.543
To glorify god to to give their life to god.
00:28:33.543 --> 00:28:36.179
Yeah. and so, yeah, i mean, i think
00:28:36.179 --> 00:28:38.915
We can't just give the internet to the devil.
00:28:39.849 --> 00:28:43.119
We can't just give
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.121
Anything in life over to other influences because
00:28:45.121 --> 00:28:49.459
The lord wants and desires that his people
00:28:50.326 --> 00:28:53.696
Would be seen doing good things, but not for our own glory.
00:28:53.696 --> 00:28:57.367
Yeah. for our own hollywood celebrity status.
00:28:57.367 --> 00:29:00.036
It's not for our likes and followers and all of that.
00:29:00.036 --> 00:29:02.438
It's that people would see
00:29:02.438 --> 00:29:04.541
And then their heart would be inclined towards god.
00:29:04.541 --> 00:29:06.643
So i just want to encourage you,
00:29:06.643 --> 00:29:08.111
Number one, if god's told you to do it,
00:29:08.111 --> 00:29:10.113
Walk it out in obedience.
00:29:10.113 --> 00:29:11.548
And number two,
00:29:11.548 --> 00:29:12.682
Make sure that both the motivation of your heart
00:29:12.682 --> 00:29:14.951
And the wake of your life
00:29:14.951 --> 00:29:16.519
Is leading people to see what you do and to turn
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.989
Towards god, not just honor you because it's not about us.
00:29:19.989 --> 00:29:23.259
Yeah.
00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:24.360
So what would you also say to to move in by faith?
00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:27.230
You know, a big our story here.
00:29:27.230 --> 00:29:30.033
I don't think the church was a lot of moves
00:29:30.033 --> 00:29:33.503
And a lot of unknown,
00:29:33.503 --> 00:29:35.104
Based off of dreams, based off of burdens, based off of,
00:29:35.104 --> 00:29:38.608
You know,
00:29:38.908 --> 00:29:40.143
God telling me to leave my, my comfortable job in louisiana
00:29:40.143 --> 00:29:42.645
To come here.
00:29:43.012 --> 00:29:44.280
And, you know, our daughter had medical conditions at the time.
00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:47.183
And your story resonates
00:29:47.717 --> 00:29:48.852
With me so much because like you
00:29:48.852 --> 00:29:50.386
Said, you started filming
00:29:50.386 --> 00:29:52.455
And not knowing what was going to happen.
00:29:52.455 --> 00:29:54.324
And this whole church plan started by me in the backyard
00:29:54.324 --> 00:29:58.595
With like, a busted tripod and my phone,
00:29:58.595 --> 00:30:01.130
Like i actually had to tape my phone to the tripod
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:04.300
And just to film it.
00:30:04.300 --> 00:30:05.468
And it was facebook live. and that's what's so funny.
00:30:05.468 --> 00:30:07.604
But at the time, too, i thought,
00:30:07.604 --> 00:30:09.239
You know, i thought it was the best idea
00:30:09.239 --> 00:30:12.075
For me because it helped me accountable.
00:30:12.075 --> 00:30:14.544
All right.
00:30:14.544 --> 00:30:15.578
If i do this live, people know what's going on.
00:30:15.578 --> 00:30:17.747
And if i stop, if i just want to quit,
00:30:17.747 --> 00:30:20.383
People will also see that.
00:30:20.383 --> 00:30:22.752
And it just held me accountable. like i can't quit.
00:30:22.752 --> 00:30:24.954
In fact,
00:30:24.954 --> 00:30:26.456
I'll never forget one night i was preaching in, in a garage.
00:30:26.456 --> 00:30:30.660
It was a car shop garage.
00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:32.896
And i started preaching, posted at live.
00:30:33.763 --> 00:30:37.200
And this one guy reached out to me and he just randomly,
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.770
I believe he, like, gifted me
00:30:40.770 --> 00:30:42.272
Like 20 bucks or something like that.
00:30:42.272 --> 00:30:43.907
And he just said, hey, bro,
00:30:43.907 --> 00:30:45.708
I just want you to know you can't quit.
00:30:45.708 --> 00:30:48.511
If you quit, others quit.
00:30:48.511 --> 00:30:51.481
And i never forgot that.
00:30:51.481 --> 00:30:53.750
And there was so much weight in that because again,
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:56.552
Just like you just starting feels like nobody's watching.
00:30:56.552 --> 00:31:00.523
Am i even doing anything?
00:31:00.523 --> 00:31:01.691
And he's like, bro, if you quit others are going to quit.
00:31:01.691 --> 00:31:05.061
You cannot quit on god.
00:31:05.061 --> 00:31:07.630
If god has told you to do this, do it.
00:31:07.630 --> 00:31:10.333
But it doesn't mean moving by faith will be easy.
00:31:10.333 --> 00:31:14.170
Look at abraham.
00:31:14.570 --> 00:31:15.805
You know,
00:31:15.805 --> 00:31:16.773
Abraham had so many promises from the lord
00:31:16.773 --> 00:31:18.541
And that he would have a son, but he had no idea
00:31:18.541 --> 00:31:21.044
He had of his son at 100 years old. right.
00:31:21.044 --> 00:31:23.413
That was a part of his plan. right.
00:31:23.413 --> 00:31:25.281
And there were times that abraham
00:31:25.281 --> 00:31:26.582
Made some bad decisions, three times that abraham lied.
00:31:26.582 --> 00:31:29.285
You know, there's times that abraham said, alright,
00:31:29.285 --> 00:31:31.754
Let's take it in our own hands because god clearly hasn't
00:31:31.754 --> 00:31:35.024
Done it yet.
00:31:35.024 --> 00:31:36.225
So maybe, maybe, you know, his word is going to come in.
00:31:36.225 --> 00:31:38.161
But maybe if i sleep with hagar instead,
00:31:38.161 --> 00:31:40.930
You know, and have it smelled, and then that might work out.
00:31:40.930 --> 00:31:44.133
And then it just caused a lot of
00:31:44.133 --> 00:31:45.401
Conflicts and problems down the road
00:31:45.401 --> 00:31:47.670
For generations that we still see it today. right.
00:31:47.670 --> 00:31:50.073
Or that we're seeing right now in the middle east.
00:31:50.073 --> 00:31:51.641
It's all because of that one
00:31:51.641 --> 00:31:52.942
Step of this obedience, to be honest with you.
00:31:52.942 --> 00:31:56.779
So there's a lot of ups and downs.
00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:58.181
And so how do you how do you cope with that?
00:31:58.181 --> 00:32:00.783
The ups and. downs.
00:32:00.783 --> 00:32:01.718
Well, how do you cope with your moving.
00:32:01.718 --> 00:32:03.987
You left everything to pursue this.
00:32:03.987 --> 00:32:06.956
Like how do you cope with just knowing?
00:32:07.757 --> 00:32:09.759
All right,
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.760
I'm still in the right spot,
00:32:10.760 --> 00:32:11.961
Even though it's it's really scary.
00:32:11.961 --> 00:32:14.864
I don't know if there's really an answer to that, but.
00:32:14.864 --> 00:32:18.301
I don't know. yeah, i.
00:32:18.301 --> 00:32:20.003
Feel like that's the raw,
00:32:20.003 --> 00:32:21.004
Real ness of what moving by faith looks like.
00:32:21.004 --> 00:32:24.941
Yeah.
00:32:25.174 --> 00:32:26.509
I think the temptation
00:32:26.509 --> 00:32:27.977
In this moment here, in a question like that
00:32:27.977 --> 00:32:29.612
Is to be able to give some, like, perfect answer.
00:32:29.612 --> 00:32:32.048
But, i think actually probably
00:32:32.048 --> 00:32:34.317
Would be encouraging to people hearing
00:32:34.317 --> 00:32:35.752
This is that, hey, actually we wrestle all the time,
00:32:35.752 --> 00:32:39.722
Not only with,
00:32:40.056 --> 00:32:43.092
You know, both the, the transition of, of
00:32:43.092 --> 00:32:45.795
Like, stepping off the church staff in 2022
00:32:45.795 --> 00:32:48.731
And what we're doing now.
00:32:48.731 --> 00:32:49.932
But also eight months ago we moved from idaho to texas.
00:32:49.932 --> 00:32:53.469
Yeah, literally like abraham, it's a big change.
00:32:53.469 --> 00:32:56.239
Felt like the lord.
00:32:56.239 --> 00:32:57.907
We don't even know why.
00:32:57.907 --> 00:32:59.342
Like we just felt like
00:32:59.342 --> 00:33:00.443
The lord started speaking, like moved to dallas and
00:33:00.443 --> 00:33:05.548
Sort of ignored it for six
00:33:06.115 --> 00:33:07.717
Months, and then it just kept coming up.
00:33:07.717 --> 00:33:09.352
And so
00:33:09.352 --> 00:33:11.621
It honestly, it felt like an abraham thing,
00:33:11.621 --> 00:33:13.856
Like where god said to him, go to a land that i will show you.
00:33:13.856 --> 00:33:16.759
And it just takes faith to i don't get it.
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.164
I don't know why you haven't
00:33:21.164 --> 00:33:22.598
Told us the reasons or what's going to happen or anything.
00:33:22.598 --> 00:33:26.569
We just feel like this is what you're saying,
00:33:26.569 --> 00:33:28.771
So we're going to do it.
00:33:28.771 --> 00:33:30.339
And so yeah, even like right now where you're catching me
00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:33.409
Filming this, we're in a season where
00:33:33.409 --> 00:33:36.779
We have taken steps of faith
00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:40.049
That didn't make sense, or at least we don't know why.
00:33:40.049 --> 00:33:44.987
And we're still in like, what is next?
00:33:44.987 --> 00:33:48.758
Why are we living in fort worth? yeah.
00:33:48.758 --> 00:33:51.694
Is this because this is where you wanted us,
00:33:51.694 --> 00:33:54.263
Or you wanted to get us moving to redirect to somewhere else?
00:33:54.263 --> 00:33:57.867
We don't know.
00:33:57.867 --> 00:33:59.068
And so i know that in some ways, like giving this
00:33:59.068 --> 00:34:03.072
Like a great answer of, oh, this is
00:34:03.072 --> 00:34:04.774
It might be encouraging to people, but
00:34:04.774 --> 00:34:07.376
I also hope to encourage anybody that is in that season.
00:34:07.376 --> 00:34:10.813
Sometimes it's easy
00:34:10.813 --> 00:34:11.681
To see people that you look up
00:34:11.681 --> 00:34:13.583
To, especially online, and you think
00:34:13.583 --> 00:34:15.551
Everything must be easy and perfect in their life.
00:34:15.551 --> 00:34:18.221
Yeah.
00:34:18.221 --> 00:34:19.188
When especially online,
00:34:19.188 --> 00:34:20.656
All you see really is like curated moments
00:34:20.656 --> 00:34:23.693
That somebody produced to put out.
00:34:23.693 --> 00:34:26.129
And i try and value putting out also
00:34:26.129 --> 00:34:28.998
The real content where it's like, hey,
00:34:29.832 --> 00:34:32.401
Everything behind the scenes is we face
00:34:32.401 --> 00:34:34.137
The same battles that you face, the same mental struggles.
00:34:34.137 --> 00:34:38.040
I got to screw my head on straight
00:34:38.040 --> 00:34:39.442
Every single morning by pursuing the lord
00:34:39.442 --> 00:34:41.310
And praying and asking god to renew my mind.
00:34:41.310 --> 00:34:43.946
And so,
00:34:43.946 --> 00:34:46.082
We are in actively in seasons of like, man, god, what is it?
00:34:46.082 --> 00:34:50.119
And are we going the right direction?
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:51.654
Right?
00:34:51.654 --> 00:34:52.555
It's like a daily pursuit of his will.
00:34:52.555 --> 00:34:55.558
But i think, honestly, you don't need a perfect answer.
00:34:55.558 --> 00:34:58.861
It's just you saying that you're in it right now.
00:34:58.861 --> 00:35:02.665
To me, i feel like would encourage so many.
00:35:02.665 --> 00:35:05.735
I hope so.
00:35:05.735 --> 00:35:06.502
That as a pastor,
00:35:06.502 --> 00:35:09.238
As somebody who's been part of a church staff
00:35:09.238 --> 00:35:11.107
For a long time and done ministry
00:35:11.107 --> 00:35:12.575
And seen the impossible with god,
00:35:12.575 --> 00:35:15.745
That you're still in a season right now, we're like, again,
00:35:15.745 --> 00:35:18.848
God has told you to move by faith
00:35:18.848 --> 00:35:21.250
And you've been obedient in that
00:35:21.250 --> 00:35:23.953
And that alone as a testimony of your heart,
00:35:23.953 --> 00:35:27.456
That alone as a testimony of your character.
00:35:27.456 --> 00:35:30.393
That alone is is the whole reason
00:35:30.393 --> 00:35:33.396
God has done what he has done in your life.
00:35:33.396 --> 00:35:36.132
And there's so much more coming for you, brother.
00:35:36.132 --> 00:35:38.067
I truly believe that.
00:35:38.067 --> 00:35:40.002
And like i'll never forget for me
00:35:40.002 --> 00:35:42.505
Personally, i think i did tell you a little bit.
00:35:42.505 --> 00:35:44.507
Maybe yesterday when i was on the verge of giving up.
00:35:44.507 --> 00:35:49.278
I mean like just ready to be done.
00:35:49.278 --> 00:35:52.381
I remember looking at the stars and saying to the lord god,
00:35:52.381 --> 00:35:56.385
You gotta take this, because i can't do it.
00:35:56.385 --> 00:35:59.021
Like i can't make this happen.
00:35:59.021 --> 00:36:01.624
And it's
00:36:01.891 --> 00:36:02.758
Like i just felt this is almost like a,
00:36:02.758 --> 00:36:05.861
Like a wind, like just just felt the presence of god.
00:36:05.861 --> 00:36:09.465
And it's like he just placed upon my heart.
00:36:10.333 --> 00:36:11.934
Finally, you're giving it over to me.
00:36:11.934 --> 00:36:14.570
I'm like, yeah, you moved on here by faith.
00:36:14.570 --> 00:36:17.273
Yeah.
00:36:17.273 --> 00:36:18.307
But you're still you're still trying to trying
00:36:18.307 --> 00:36:19.542
To make things happen in the box that you want to fit it in.
00:36:19.542 --> 00:36:22.311
And you're trying to place it like this, and you know, i,
00:36:22.311 --> 00:36:25.314
I get to tell you our story yesterday.
00:36:25.314 --> 00:36:26.916
It's a very different story of a church play.
00:36:26.916 --> 00:36:29.151
It doesn't make sense. it's supernatural.
00:36:29.151 --> 00:36:31.988
And i can't even really explain how we are here today fully.
00:36:31.988 --> 00:36:36.058
But by the power of god and his grace, we're here, you know?
00:36:36.058 --> 00:36:39.929
But at that moment, it was like, you know, god just took it.
00:36:39.929 --> 00:36:43.065
And here's what i love.
00:36:43.065 --> 00:36:44.900
Here's what he did for me. here's what he's doing for you.
00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:47.069
He was doing something behind the scenes
00:36:47.937 --> 00:36:50.039
That i couldn't see that would set me up here today.
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.509
So even in this moment of your life,
00:36:54.277 --> 00:36:56.712
He's setting up something behind the scenes.
00:36:56.712 --> 00:36:59.815
He's doing something special because he always takes
00:36:59.815 --> 00:37:02.118
Care of his people.
00:37:02.118 --> 00:37:03.452
You may feel like you've gone out of the pit.
00:37:03.452 --> 00:37:06.355
You may feel like you escape part of his house,
00:37:06.355 --> 00:37:08.557
But you may still feel like you're in prison. right?
00:37:08.557 --> 00:37:10.960
But you have no idea that
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.928
What looks like a set back is actually a set up from the lord.
00:37:12.928 --> 00:37:17.700
And that's what he does in her life.
00:37:17.700 --> 00:37:18.968
And so i'm proud of you, brother.
00:37:18.968 --> 00:37:21.704
I want to encourage you with that.
00:37:21.704 --> 00:37:23.372
And and i pray that
00:37:23.372 --> 00:37:24.607
This is encouraging to anybody that's watching online as well.
00:37:24.607 --> 00:37:27.977
Like,
00:37:27.977 --> 00:37:29.111
We all go through it.
00:37:29.612 --> 00:37:31.447
There are no perfect answers to any of it.
00:37:31.447 --> 00:37:33.983
We just look up to god and we trust him with the process.
00:37:33.983 --> 00:37:37.586
But through this process, you've also created
00:37:38.554 --> 00:37:40.623
Something really special, really cool.
00:37:40.623 --> 00:37:43.092
It's called bible time bands, right?
00:37:43.092 --> 00:37:45.394
Is that kind of what, your name in them bible bands?
00:37:45.394 --> 00:37:47.730
Yes, sir.
00:37:47.730 --> 00:37:48.564
What do these things do? yeah.
00:37:48.564 --> 00:37:50.599
So we just recently came out with these bible time bands
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:54.036
And basically they're just biblically designed bracelets.
00:37:54.036 --> 00:37:58.774
Currently we have nine different designs, all custom designed
00:37:58.774 --> 00:38:01.644
With just messages
00:38:01.644 --> 00:38:02.578
That you can look at your bracelet
00:38:02.578 --> 00:38:04.480
And it will encourage you in your faith.
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:06.749
But there's something more to it.
00:38:06.749 --> 00:38:08.250
If you take your phone and you tap it to the tag.
00:38:08.250 --> 00:38:11.087
In fact, i could show you,
00:38:11.087 --> 00:38:12.355
You just tap your phone to the tag like this every day.
00:38:12.355 --> 00:38:14.590
And then what pops up on your phone is a daily devotional,
00:38:14.590 --> 00:38:19.762
Scripture image.
00:38:20.162 --> 00:38:21.130
And yeah, a devotional bible video.
00:38:21.130 --> 00:38:24.166
So, like, you know,
00:38:24.166 --> 00:38:25.201
Just like anything else that we're doing online,
00:38:25.201 --> 00:38:26.535
Our our desire is just to help people connect with god
00:38:26.535 --> 00:38:29.672
Every single day.
00:38:29.672 --> 00:38:30.573
Yeah.
00:38:30.573 --> 00:38:31.640
You know, whether a minute at a time or a sermon
00:38:31.640 --> 00:38:33.075
At a time or whatever, like what we know changes somebody's
00:38:33.075 --> 00:38:36.379
Life is being connected with god every day.
00:38:36.379 --> 00:38:38.514
So it's not about us.
00:38:38.514 --> 00:38:39.882
But if we can help people
00:38:39.882 --> 00:38:41.050
Have a little daily connection with god on their wrist,
00:38:41.050 --> 00:38:43.953
Get the day like the verse of the day.
00:38:43.953 --> 00:38:45.821
So it's a brand new verse in a brand new devotional.
00:38:45.821 --> 00:38:48.023
Video every single day.
00:38:48.023 --> 00:38:48.891
Every single. day, every single day.
00:38:48.891 --> 00:38:49.892
And, so anyway, yeah, we just launched it.
00:38:49.892 --> 00:38:51.994
You can find them at bible time.
00:38:51.994 --> 00:38:53.329
Dot shop,
00:38:53.329 --> 00:38:54.897
If you want to get one and, and,
00:38:54.897 --> 00:38:57.133
It's just one of the small ways that we're
00:38:57.133 --> 00:38:58.634
Helping people connect with what's.
00:38:58.634 --> 00:38:59.635
Really cool about it. my kids love it.
00:38:59.635 --> 00:39:01.370
And so immediately, like, the first thing in the morning,
00:39:01.370 --> 00:39:03.639
They're like, scan it, scan, i love it.
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:05.608
Honestly, those are.
00:39:05.608 --> 00:39:06.575
Some of my favorite testimonies is the kids.
00:39:06.575 --> 00:39:08.110
But just learning to have a hunger for
00:39:08.110 --> 00:39:10.513
God's word every single day.
00:39:10.513 --> 00:39:12.047
So it's amazing.
00:39:12.047 --> 00:39:13.249
Well, i want to thank everybody
00:39:13.249 --> 00:39:14.316

And, gave you some encouragement
00:39:18.454 --> 00:39:19.855
Maybe in this season or the trial
00:39:19.855 --> 00:39:21.390
That you're going through right now.
00:39:21.390 --> 00:39:22.992

Before you go, i got one more announcement
00:40:38.801 --> 00:40:39.935
To make, and this one's a big one.
00:40:39.935 --> 00:40:41.570
Okay.
00:40:41.570 --> 00:40:41.937
This year
00:40:41.937 --> 00:40:42.705
We held our very
00:40:42.705 --> 00:40:43.772
First awaking conference in hickory, north carolina
00:40:43.772 --> 00:40:47.042
For authentic church and we saw people come out
00:40:47.042 --> 00:40:50.446
From everywhere, from all over the nation
00:40:50.446 --> 00:40:53.282
And even outside of the country
00:40:53.282 --> 00:40:54.984
To experience what god is doing here.
00:40:54.984 --> 00:40:57.253
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:40:57.253 --> 00:41:02.625
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:41:02.625 --> 00:41:05.494
And if you want to look into more details
00:41:05.494 --> 00:41:07.863
Over the conference,
00:41:07.863 --> 00:41:08.831
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:41:08.831 --> 00:41:10.599
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:14.370
We have been.
00:41:14.737 --> 00:41:38.494
And the
00:41:38.727 --> 00:41:39.528
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:41:39.528 --> 00:41:42.464
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
00:41:42.464 --> 00:41:47.236
The gospel message is all about
00:41:47.236 --> 00:41:50.172
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:41:50.172 --> 00:41:54.443
Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:41:54.443 --> 00:42:17.666
He. left his job doesn't work out for me.
00:42:18.500 --> 00:42:30.913
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:42:30.913 --> 00:42:34.650
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:42:34.650 --> 00:42:37.553
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:42:37.553 --> 00:42:40.456
But i would rather move by faith
00:42:40.456 --> 00:42:42.291
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:42:42.291 --> 00:42:46.161
And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
00:42:46.161 --> 00:43:18.761
You know what today is
00:43:19.228 --> 00:43:21.263
Pentecost sunday.
00:43:21.263 --> 00:43:24.433
Pentecost sunday.
00:43:24.867 --> 00:43:28.103
Woo! you better
00:43:28.470 --> 00:43:30.472
Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:43:30.472 --> 00:43:34.243
I came here to remind you
00:43:34.810 --> 00:43:36.612
You need the holy spirit.
00:43:36.612 --> 00:43:36.612
