  • You know, if i ever get too old to do this, i don't know if i will or not, but.
  • 00:03:13.082 --> 00:03:14.717
  • To do this, i don't know if i will or not, but. you know, i'm sure that,
  • 00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:17.553
  • If i will or not, but. you know, i'm sure that, like, movie stars, maybe--
  • 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.323
  • You know, i'm sure that, like, movie stars, maybe-- i saw a documentary
  • 00:03:20.390 --> 00:03:22.191
  • Like, movie stars, maybe-- i saw a documentary about joan crawford,
  • 00:03:22.258 --> 00:03:22.859

  • About joan crawford, and somebody asked her, "didn't you used
  • 00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:24.394
  • And somebody asked her, "didn't you used to be joan crawford?"
  • 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:25.995
  • "didn't you used to be joan crawford?" well, see, they were
  • 00:03:26.062 --> 00:03:26.896
  • To be joan crawford?" well, see, they were basing it on what she did,
  • 00:03:26.963 --> 00:03:29.198
  • Well, see, they were basing it on what she did, instead of who she was.
  • 00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:30.233
  • Basing it on what she did, instead of who she was. and so, we really need
  • 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.168
  • Instead of who she was. and so, we really need to separate our who and or do.
  • 00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:34.203
  • And so, we really need to separate our who and or do. i say that all the time.
  • 00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:35.238
  • To separate our who and or do. i say that all the time. you know, it's like we always

  • Wanna know what people do. and if they do something that's impressive,
  • 00:03:39.609 --> 00:03:40.410
  • And if they do something that's impressive, then we automatically
  • 00:03:40.476 --> 00:03:41.311
  • That's impressive, then we automatically think they're more valuable
  • 00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:42.712
  • Then we automatically think they're more valuable than somebody who washes
  • 00:03:42.779 --> 00:03:44.881
  • Think they're more valuable than somebody who washes windows or scrubs floors.
  • 00:03:44.947 --> 00:03:46.416
  • Than somebody who washes windows or scrubs floors. and we're all valuable to god.
  • 00:03:46.482 --> 00:03:49.285
  • Windows or scrubs floors. and we're all valuable to god. >> ginger: do you ever find

  • You know, you have a heartbreak, that i think it's a natural thing for us to then
  • 00:04:03.866 --> 00:04:05.134
  • That i think it's a natural thing for us to then go back and ask, "oh, but god,
  • 00:04:05.201 --> 00:04:07.303
  • Thing for us to then go back and ask, "oh, but god, i thought--
  • 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:09.105
  • Go back and ask, "oh, but god, i thought-- i thought i was okay,
  • 00:04:09.172 --> 00:04:10.473

  • 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.681
  • Of circumstances in our life. so, how do we get beyond the circumstances that we're
  • 00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:20.350

  • 00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:54.117
  • We're gonna go through seasons that are gonna cause us to question our identity.
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:55.318

  • To remember we have an enemy, the devil. and he--
  • 00:05:30.253 --> 00:05:30.820
  • The devil. and he-- i think one of his number one
  • 00:05:30.887 --> 00:05:32.054
  • And he-- i think one of his number one goals is to make us think
  • 00:05:32.121 --> 00:05:35.291
  • I think one of his number one goals is to make us think all the time, "there's something
  • 00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.626
  • Goals is to make us think all the time, "there's something wrong with us, there's something

  • Wrong with us, there's something wrong with us." and i can guarantee that
  • 00:05:39.228 --> 00:05:40.363
  • Wrong with us." and i can guarantee that all four of us could name
  • 00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:42.698
  • Something pretty quick that
  • 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:43.833
  • Something pretty quick that we don't like about ourselves,
  • 00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:44.834
  • Something pretty quick that we don't like about ourselves, you know.
  • 00:05:44.901 --> 00:05:46.569
  • We don't like about ourselves, you know. and yet, we believe god
  • 00:05:46.636 --> 00:05:49.138
  • You know. and yet, we believe god created us with his own hand.
  • 00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:51.707
  • And yet, we believe god created us with his own hand. you know, like, i mean, i--
  • 00:05:51.774 --> 00:05:52.842
  • Created us with his own hand. you know, like, i mean, i-- for a long time, i just hated
  • 00:05:52.909 --> 00:05:56.012
  • You know, like, i mean, i-- for a long time, i just hated my voice because my voice
  • 00:05:56.078 --> 00:05:57.547
  • For a long time, i just hated my voice because my voice is deeper than most women's
  • 00:05:57.613 --> 00:05:59.782
  • My voice because my voice is deeper than most women's and here god is blasting
  • 00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:00.950
  • Is deeper than most women's and here god is blasting it all over the world.
  • 00:06:01.017 --> 00:06:02.385
  • And here god is blasting it all over the world. well, he gave me my voice
  • 00:06:02.452 --> 00:06:04.887
  • It all over the world. well, he gave me my voice on purpose.
  • 00:06:04.954 --> 00:06:05.655
  • Well, he gave me my voice on purpose. and now, i realize, you know,
  • 00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.757
  • On purpose. and now, i realize, you know, that it--because it's different,
  • 00:06:07.824 --> 00:06:10.393
  • And now, i realize, you know, that it--because it's different, it commands attention.
  • 00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:11.994
  • That it--because it's different, it commands attention. and i believe that it also makes
  • 00:06:12.061 --> 00:06:14.997
  • It commands attention. and i believe that it also makes it easier for men to listen
  • 00:06:15.064 --> 00:06:16.265
  • And i believe that it also makes it easier for men to listen to me, because i don't have this
  • 00:06:16.332 --> 00:06:17.533
  • It easier for men to listen to me, because i don't have this [unintelligible female sounds].
  • 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.668
  • To me, because i don't have this [unintelligible female sounds]. >> [ginger giggling]
  • 00:06:18.734 --> 00:06:19.669
  • [unintelligible female sounds]. >> [ginger giggling] >> joyce: and, we have
  • 00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:22.238
  • >> [ginger giggling] >> joyce: and, we have to learn to--
  • 00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:23.973
  • "god created us,"
  • 00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:25.508
  • "god created us," the bible says,
  • 00:06:25.575 --> 00:06:27.043
  • "god created us," the bible says, "intricately and carefully
  • 00:06:27.109 --> 00:06:29.178
  • The bible says, "intricately and carefully with his own hand
  • 00:06:29.245 --> 00:06:30.847
  • "intricately and carefully with his own hand in our mother's womb."
  • 00:06:30.913 --> 00:06:31.981
  • With his own hand in our mother's womb." and so, you're not a mistake
  • 00:06:32.048 --> 00:06:34.650
  • If you're not shaped exactly
  • 00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:38.387
  • If you're not shaped exactly like somebody else,
  • 00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:39.822
  • If you're not shaped exactly like somebody else, or you don't do exactly
  • 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.591
  • Like somebody else, or you don't do exactly what somebody else does.
  • 00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:42.825
  • Or you don't do exactly what somebody else does. >> ginger: i think there's
  • 00:06:42.892 --> 00:06:44.494
  • What somebody else does. >> ginger: i think there's a easy place that we can go that
  • 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.562
  • >> ginger: i think there's a easy place that we can go that we overlook that individualism
  • 00:06:46.629 --> 00:06:50.032
  • A easy place that we can go that we overlook that individualism of what god created in us.
  • 00:06:50.099 --> 00:06:51.467
  • Like, we even think about
  • 00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:52.869
  • Like, we even think about john 3:16, "for god
  • 00:06:52.935 --> 00:06:54.403
  • Like, we even think about john 3:16, "for god so loved the world
  • 00:06:54.470 --> 00:06:55.471
  • John 3:16, "for god so loved the world that he gave his son--"
  • 00:06:55.538 --> 00:06:56.372
  • So loved the world that he gave his son--" and we can all get
  • 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.207
  • That he gave his son--" and we can all get on board with that.
  • 00:06:58.274 --> 00:06:59.542
  • What we miss sometimes
  • 00:06:59.609 --> 00:07:01.077
  • What we miss sometimes is that god so loved
  • 00:07:01.143 --> 00:07:03.513
  • What we miss sometimes is that god so loved me that he gave me his son.
  • 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.716
  • Is that god so loved me that he gave me his son. and it's not just a sprinkle
  • 00:07:06.782 --> 00:07:11.120
  • Me that he gave me his son. and it's not just a sprinkle around to everybody,
  • 00:07:11.187 --> 00:07:12.288
  • And it's not just a sprinkle around to everybody, it's individual.
  • 00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:14.290
  • Around to everybody, it's individual. and i think that's a really
  • 00:07:14.357 --> 00:07:17.059
  • It's individual. and i think that's a really important thing for
  • 00:07:17.126 --> 00:07:17.760
  • And i think that's a really important thing for us to get down to.
  • 00:07:17.827 --> 00:07:18.895
  • Important thing for us to get down to. laney, you said something
  • 00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:20.096
  • Us to get down to. laney, you said something that i think is really good.
  • 00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:21.030
  • Laney, you said something that i think is really good. you said, "sometimes letting
  • 00:07:21.097 --> 00:07:22.064
  • That i think is really good. you said, "sometimes letting go of the things we found our
  • 00:07:22.131 --> 00:07:23.866
  • You said, "sometimes letting go of the things we found our identity in, that are incorrect,
  • 00:07:23.933 --> 00:07:26.402
  • Go of the things we found our identity in, that are incorrect, can require a full-on detox."
  • 00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:28.838
  • Identity in, that are incorrect, can require a full-on detox." so, because it is those
  • 00:07:28.905 --> 00:07:31.741
  • Can require a full-on detox." so, because it is those things that keep us from
  • 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:35.111
  • So, because it is those things that keep us from that individual, understanding
  • 00:07:35.177 --> 00:07:38.214
  • Things that keep us from that individual, understanding of what christ did for us.
  • 00:07:38.281 --> 00:07:39.549
  • That individual, understanding of what christ did for us. so, what does a detox look like?
  • 00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:41.584
  • Of what christ did for us. so, what does a detox look like? how do we detox all this
  • 00:07:41.651 --> 00:07:43.319
  • So, what does a detox look like? how do we detox all this stuff out of the way?
  • 00:07:43.386 --> 00:07:44.854
  • How do we detox all this stuff out of the way? >> laney: well, tangibly,
  • 00:07:44.921 --> 00:07:46.022
  • Stuff out of the way? >> laney: well, tangibly, for me it looked like quitting
  • 00:07:46.088 --> 00:07:47.356
  • >> laney: well, tangibly, for me it looked like quitting a lot of things that were like,
  • 00:07:47.423 --> 00:07:48.958
  • For me it looked like quitting a lot of things that were like, my normal.
  • 00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:49.892
  • A lot of things that were like, my normal. the things that
  • 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:50.526
  • My normal. the things that i found comfort in,
  • 00:07:50.593 --> 00:07:52.595
  • The things that i found comfort in, moving away from my family.
  • 00:07:52.662 --> 00:07:54.330
  • I found comfort in, moving away from my family. like, not saying everyone
  • 00:07:54.397 --> 00:07:55.798
  • Moving away from my family. like, not saying everyone should do that, but that
  • 00:07:55.865 --> 00:07:58.935
  • Like, not saying everyone should do that, but that was kind of the tangible things
  • 00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:01.404
  • Should do that, but that was kind of the tangible things that i felt like god was saying,
  • 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:02.738
  • Was kind of the tangible things that i felt like god was saying, like, "let go of this,

  • 00:08:04.607 --> 00:08:05.174
  • Let go of this, let go of this." because he wanted to show
  • 00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:07.243
  • Let go of this." because he wanted to show me something better.
  • 00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:08.244
  • Because he wanted to show me something better. >> joyce: things that your

  • And i think, then it becomes just his word, like, i fell in love with his word.
  • 00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:17.787
  • Just his word, like, i fell in love with his word. i'd been--

  • Changes because it's so important. >> laney: yeah, but i wanted
  • 00:09:19.782 --> 00:09:21.050
  • It's so important. >> laney: yeah, but i wanted to be worthy of my title,

  • 00:09:25.655 --> 00:09:27.556
  • I wanted to be beautiful. i wanted all these, like, physical milestone things.
  • 00:09:27.623 --> 00:09:29.992
  • I wanted all these, like, physical milestone things. and yes, when i turned 30,
  • 00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.094
  • Physical milestone things. and yes, when i turned 30, i had some of those things
  • 00:09:32.161 --> 00:09:33.863
  • And yes, when i turned 30, i had some of those things that 20-year-old laney wanted.
  • 00:09:33.929 --> 00:09:36.098
  • I had some of those things that 20-year-old laney wanted. but my desires have so changed.
  • 00:09:36.165 --> 00:09:40.036
  • That 20-year-old laney wanted. but my desires have so changed. he's changed me.
  • 00:09:40.102 --> 00:09:41.470
  • But my desires have so changed. he's changed me. he's changed what
  • 00:09:41.537 --> 00:09:43.005
  • He's changed me. he's changed what brings life to me.
  • 00:09:43.072 --> 00:09:44.607

  • 00:09:48.310 --> 00:09:49.045
  • He's changed what i want, you know? and i think the detox just
  • 00:09:49.111 --> 00:09:51.447
  • You know? and i think the detox just comes from opening his word,
  • 00:09:51.514 --> 00:09:53.416
  • And i think the detox just comes from opening his word, looking for him,
  • 00:09:53.482 --> 00:09:54.950
  • Comes from opening his word, looking for him, asking him to speak to you
  • 00:09:55.017 --> 00:09:56.552
  • Looking for him, asking him to speak to you and just receiving, like,
  • 00:09:56.619 --> 00:09:59.188
  • Asking him to speak to you and just receiving, like, just receive what he's done.
  • 00:09:59.255 --> 00:10:00.623
  • And just receiving, like, just receive what he's done. and that changes
  • 00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:01.624
  • Just receive what he's done. and that changes you from the inside out.
  • 00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:03.025
  • And that changes you from the inside out. and it's less about, you know,
  • 00:10:03.092 --> 00:10:04.660
  • You from the inside out. and it's less about, you know, trying to make it happen
  • 00:10:04.727 --> 00:10:05.795
  • And it's less about, you know, trying to make it happen or trying to do the right
  • 00:10:05.861 --> 00:10:06.829
  • Trying to make it happen or trying to do the right thing over and over,
  • 00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:07.963
  • Or trying to do the right thing over and over, but just receiving
  • 00:10:08.030 --> 00:10:10.032
  • Thing over and over, but just receiving what he's done.
  • 00:10:10.099 --> 00:10:10.633
  • But just receiving what he's done. >> joyce: and just being
  • 00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:11.400
  • What he's done. >> joyce: and just being obedient, one step at a time.
  • 00:10:11.467 --> 00:10:12.902
  • >> joyce: and just being obedient, one step at a time. like, he was telling you
  • 00:10:12.968 --> 00:10:14.403
  • Obedient, one step at a time. like, he was telling you to let go of things.
  • 00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:16.005
  • Like, he was telling you to let go of things. and that's not easy, you know.
  • 00:10:16.072 --> 00:10:18.140
  • To let go of things. and that's not easy, you know. i guess the more you do it,
  • 00:10:18.207 --> 00:10:19.341
  • And that's not easy, you know. i guess the more you do it, the easier it gets, because
  • 00:10:19.408 --> 00:10:20.576
  • I guess the more you do it, the easier it gets, because you see the good result.
  • 00:10:20.643 --> 00:10:21.911
  • But it--
  • 00:10:22.578 --> 00:10:23.145
  • But it-- you know, god asked
  • 00:10:23.212 --> 00:10:24.080
  • But it-- you know, god asked abraham to leave his family and,
  • 00:10:24.146 --> 00:10:26.615
  • You know, god asked abraham to leave his family and, "go to a place that
  • 00:10:26.682 --> 00:10:27.550
  • Abraham to leave his family and, "go to a place that i will show you."
  • 00:10:27.616 --> 00:10:29.385
  • "go to a place that i will show you." well, i mean, that had
  • 00:10:29.452 --> 00:10:30.186
  • I will show you." well, i mean, that had to be really difficult.
  • 00:10:30.252 --> 00:10:32.354
  • I mean, i might say,
  • 00:10:32.421 --> 00:10:34.056
  • I mean, i might say, "well, you show me, and i'll go,
  • 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:35.357
  • I mean, i might say, "well, you show me, and i'll go, if i think i'm gonna like it."
  • 00:10:35.424 --> 00:10:37.426
  • "well, you show me, and i'll go, if i think i'm gonna like it." but, you know, he just packed
  • 00:10:37.493 --> 00:10:39.662
  • If i think i'm gonna like it." but, you know, he just packed up and took off and didn't even
  • 00:10:39.729 --> 00:10:40.963
  • But, you know, he just packed up and took off and didn't even know where he was going.
  • 00:10:41.030 --> 00:10:42.998
  • Up and took off and didn't even know where he was going. and i think sometimes
  • 00:10:43.065 --> 00:10:43.799
  • Know where he was going. and i think sometimes we all feel like that.
  • 00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:44.934
  • And i think sometimes we all feel like that. it's like you let go of one
  • 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.335
  • We all feel like that. it's like you let go of one thing and you're hoping god's
  • 00:10:46.402 --> 00:10:49.271
  • It's like you let go of one thing and you're hoping god's gonna do this other thing,
  • 00:10:49.338 --> 00:10:50.506
  • Thing and you're hoping god's gonna do this other thing, but you're not sure that
  • 00:10:50.573 --> 00:10:51.540
  • Gonna do this other thing, but you're not sure that he is until you actually--
  • 00:10:51.607 --> 00:10:53.476
  • But you're not sure that he is until you actually-- he always makes us let go,
  • 00:10:53.542 --> 00:10:55.111
  • He is until you actually-- he always makes us let go, before he proves that he's gonna
  • 00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:58.681
  • He always makes us let go, before he proves that he's gonna do the next thing.
  • 00:10:58.748 --> 00:11:00.182
  • Before he proves that he's gonna do the next thing. >> erin: yeah.
  • 00:11:00.249 --> 00:11:00.750
  • Do the next thing. >> erin: yeah. >> ginger: you talked about
  • 00:11:00.816 --> 00:11:01.484
  • >> erin: yeah. >> ginger: you talked about a verse--well, we all--
  • 00:11:01.550 --> 00:11:04.653
  • Probably most of us know it,
  • 00:11:05.421 --> 00:11:06.388
  • Probably most of us know it, jeremiah 29:11.
  • 00:11:06.455 --> 00:11:08.324
  • Probably most of us know it, jeremiah 29:11. but the original hebrew,
  • 00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:09.892
  • Jeremiah 29:11. but the original hebrew, you said, helped you
  • 00:11:09.959 --> 00:11:10.593
  • But the original hebrew, you said, helped you so much to understand
  • 00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.661
  • You said, helped you so much to understand that it's not just,
  • 00:11:12.728 --> 00:11:13.996
  • So much to understand that it's not just, "i have a hope and a future
  • 00:11:14.063 --> 00:11:15.197
  • That it's not just, "i have a hope and a future for you," but that, in that
  • 00:11:15.264 --> 00:11:17.533
  • "i have a hope and a future for you," but that, in that is healing from the past.
  • 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.135
  • For you," but that, in that is healing from the past. and i think that's a lot
  • 00:11:19.201 --> 00:11:20.402
  • Of this for people, is that,
  • 00:11:20.469 --> 00:11:23.272
  • Of this for people, is that, "i can't understand who
  • 00:11:23.339 --> 00:11:24.573
  • Of this for people, is that, "i can't understand who i am because my wounds,
  • 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:27.643
  • "i can't understand who i am because my wounds, don't allow me to,
  • 00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:28.844
  • I am because my wounds, don't allow me to, because they're still
  • 00:11:28.911 --> 00:11:30.179
  • Don't allow me to, because they're still kind of gaping and open."
  • 00:11:30.246 --> 00:11:31.647
  • Because they're still kind of gaping and open." and so, that healing
  • 00:11:31.714 --> 00:11:33.649
  • Kind of gaping and open." and so, that healing is a big part of this, isn't it?
  • 00:11:33.716 --> 00:11:35.584
  • And so, that healing is a big part of this, isn't it? to be able to gather that
  • 00:11:35.651 --> 00:11:37.787
  • Is a big part of this, isn't it? to be able to gather that christ not only loves us,
  • 00:11:37.853 --> 00:11:39.889
  • To be able to gather that christ not only loves us, but that whatever
  • 00:11:39.955 --> 00:11:41.423
  • Christ not only loves us, but that whatever it is that has made us feel
  • 00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:43.893
  • But that whatever it is that has made us feel unworthy or unlovable
  • 00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:46.061
  • It is that has made us feel unworthy or unlovable or not worthy of what god
  • 00:11:46.128 --> 00:11:49.465
  • Unworthy or unlovable or not worthy of what god does want us to receive,
  • 00:11:49.532 --> 00:11:50.699
  • Or not worthy of what god does want us to receive, that's what holds us back.
  • 00:11:50.766 --> 00:11:53.102
  • Does want us to receive, that's what holds us back. that he wants to heal those
  • 00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:54.503
  • That's what holds us back. that he wants to heal those so that, then we can receive it.
  • 00:11:54.570 --> 00:11:57.606
  • That he wants to heal those so that, then we can receive it. >> laney: thinking back too,
  • 00:11:57.673 --> 00:11:58.641
  • So that, then we can receive it. >> laney: thinking back too, i'm like, my healing came
  • 00:11:58.707 --> 00:12:01.043
  • >> laney: thinking back too, i'm like, my healing came in that season and then
  • 00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:02.411
  • I'm like, my healing came in that season and then my life changed.
  • 00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:03.412
  • In that season and then my life changed. like, i think, you know,
  • 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:04.847
  • My life changed. like, i think, you know, we want the physical...
  • 00:12:04.914 --> 00:12:05.881
  • Like, i think, you know, we want the physical... >> joyce: right.
  • 00:12:05.948 --> 00:12:06.415
  • We want the physical... >> joyce: right. >> laney: like you're saying.
  • 00:12:06.482 --> 00:12:07.183
  • >> joyce: right. >> laney: like you're saying. but healing came.
  • 00:12:07.249 --> 00:12:08.417
  • >> laney: like you're saying. but healing came. and then, it was like,
  • 00:12:08.484 --> 00:12:09.251
  • But healing came. and then, it was like, i didn't really care about
  • 00:12:09.318 --> 00:12:10.286
  • And then, it was like, i didn't really care about a lot of the other things.
  • 00:12:10.352 --> 00:12:11.487
  • I didn't really care about a lot of the other things. like, i really didn't.
  • 00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:12.555
  • A lot of the other things. like, i really didn't. but then, all of a sudden,
  • 00:12:12.621 --> 00:12:14.523
  • Like, i really didn't. but then, all of a sudden, some of those things just
  • 00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:15.658
  • But then, all of a sudden, some of those things just flung wide open, you know,
  • 00:12:15.724 --> 00:12:17.326
  • Some of those things just flung wide open, you know, and i got to enjoy them so much
  • 00:12:17.393 --> 00:12:19.028
  • Flung wide open, you know, and i got to enjoy them so much more because i felt whole,
  • 00:12:19.094 --> 00:12:22.064
  • And i got to enjoy them so much more because i felt whole, you know?
  • 00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:22.765
  • More because i felt whole, you know? >> ginger: yeah.
  • 00:12:22.832 --> 00:12:23.432
  • You know? >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you were talking
  • 00:12:23.499 --> 00:12:24.166
  • >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you were talking about your desires changing.
  • 00:12:24.233 --> 00:12:26.068
  • And, i have pondered a lot--
  • 00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.738
  • And, i have pondered a lot-- a couple of scriptures
  • 00:12:29.805 --> 00:12:30.739
  • And, i have pondered a lot-- a couple of scriptures in the bible.
  • 00:12:30.806 --> 00:12:31.373
  • A couple of scriptures in the bible. one says, "if you abide
  • 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.374
  • In the bible. one says, "if you abide in me and my word abides in you,
  • 00:12:32.441 --> 00:12:33.976
  • One says, "if you abide in me and my word abides in you, you can ask whatever you will,
  • 00:12:34.043 --> 00:12:35.344
  • In me and my word abides in you, you can ask whatever you will, and i'll do it."
  • 00:12:35.411 --> 00:12:36.579
  • You can ask whatever you will, and i'll do it." and i'm like, "how can you
  • 00:12:36.645 --> 00:12:39.882
  • Make that kind of promise to,
  • 00:12:39.949 --> 00:12:41.217
  • Make that kind of promise to, you know, people?"
  • 00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:42.451
  • Make that kind of promise to, you know, people?" but the fact is,
  • 00:12:42.518 --> 00:12:43.719
  • You know, people?" but the fact is, is if you do abide in him
  • 00:12:43.786 --> 00:12:46.622
  • But the fact is, is if you do abide in him and in his word,
  • 00:12:46.689 --> 00:12:47.690
  • Is if you do abide in him and in his word, you will become so close
  • 00:12:47.756 --> 00:12:50.526
  • And in his word, you will become so close to him that you're not gonna
  • 00:12:50.593 --> 00:12:52.628
  • You will become so close to him that you're not gonna want anything other than
  • 00:12:52.695 --> 00:12:53.963
  • To him that you're not gonna want anything other than what he wants for you.
  • 00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:55.831
  • And i frequently,
  • 00:12:56.599 --> 00:12:57.032
  • And i frequently, when i ask god for something
  • 00:12:57.099 --> 00:12:58.167
  • And i frequently, when i ask god for something that's not specifically
  • 00:12:58.234 --> 00:12:59.201
  • When i ask god for something that's not specifically in the word, i'll say,
  • 00:12:59.268 --> 00:13:01.103
  • That's not specifically in the word, i'll say, "and please don't give
  • 00:13:01.170 --> 00:13:02.271
  • In the word, i'll say, "and please don't give it to me if it's not right,"
  • 00:13:02.338 --> 00:13:04.206
  • "and please don't give it to me if it's not right," because there's nothing
  • 00:13:04.273 --> 00:13:04.974
  • It to me if it's not right," because there's nothing worse than having
  • 00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:06.408
  • Because there's nothing worse than having a bunch of stuff that
  • 00:13:06.475 --> 00:13:07.443
  • Worse than having a bunch of stuff that you connived around to get,
  • 00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:09.411
  • A bunch of stuff that you connived around to get, and it's not really god for you.
  • 00:13:09.478 --> 00:13:10.746
  • You connived around to get, and it's not really god for you. >> erin: you know, one thing,
  • 00:13:10.813 --> 00:13:12.014
  • And it's not really god for you. >> erin: you know, one thing, i think it's interesting
  • 00:13:12.081 --> 00:13:14.283
  • >> erin: you know, one thing, i think it's interesting on the healing piece of it, too,
  • 00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.185
  • I think it's interesting on the healing piece of it, too, when you abide in him like
  • 00:13:16.252 --> 00:13:17.086
  • On the healing piece of it, too, when you abide in him like that, when you're that close
  • 00:13:17.152 --> 00:13:17.953
  • When you abide in him like that, when you're that close to him, and he's healed
  • 00:13:18.020 --> 00:13:19.355
  • That, when you're that close to him, and he's healed the past hurts and you begin
  • 00:13:19.421 --> 00:13:21.423
  • To him, and he's healed the past hurts and you begin to discover who you are in him,
  • 00:13:21.490 --> 00:13:22.791
  • The past hurts and you begin to discover who you are in him, then when future hurts happen,
  • 00:13:22.858 --> 00:13:24.793
  • To discover who you are in him, then when future hurts happen, they don't cut his deep
  • 00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:26.462
  • Then when future hurts happen, they don't cut his deep because you can go back to,
  • 00:13:26.528 --> 00:13:28.697
  • They don't cut his deep because you can go back to, "no, this is who--
  • 00:13:28.764 --> 00:13:29.531
  • Because you can go back to, "no, this is who-- this is what the word
  • 00:13:29.598 --> 00:13:30.532
  • "no, this is who-- this is what the word says that i am.
  • 00:13:30.599 --> 00:13:31.300
  • This is what the word says that i am. this is who god says i am."
  • 00:13:31.367 --> 00:13:32.434
  • Says that i am. this is who god says i am." so, i can take that
  • 00:13:32.501 --> 00:13:33.702
  • This is who god says i am." so, i can take that wound and it--
  • 00:13:33.769 --> 00:13:35.804
  • So, i can take that wound and it-- god can heal you quicker,
  • 00:13:35.871 --> 00:13:37.306
  • Wound and it-- god can heal you quicker, is that fair to say?
  • 00:13:37.373 --> 00:13:38.073
  • God can heal you quicker, is that fair to say? because you're not--
  • 00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:40.209
  • Is that fair to say? because you're not-- it's not sinking so deep
  • 00:13:40.276 --> 00:13:41.076
  • Because you're not-- it's not sinking so deep because you know the truth.
  • 00:13:41.143 --> 00:13:41.977
  • It's not sinking so deep because you know the truth. and it doesn't mean
  • 00:13:42.044 --> 00:13:42.778
  • Because you know the truth. and it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
  • 00:13:42.845 --> 00:13:43.412
  • And it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. it still hurts.
  • 00:13:43.479 --> 00:13:44.079
  • It doesn't hurt. it still hurts. >> joyce: it doesn't have time
  • 00:13:44.146 --> 00:13:45.014
  • It still hurts. >> joyce: it doesn't have time to get deep roots in you though.
  • 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.949
  • >> joyce: it doesn't have time to get deep roots in you though. >> erin: yeah, yeah.
  • 00:13:47.016 --> 00:13:47.549
  • To get deep roots in you though. >> erin: yeah, yeah. which i think is amazing.
  • 00:13:47.616 --> 00:13:48.284
  • >> erin: yeah, yeah. which i think is amazing. there's--
  • 00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:49.251
  • Which i think is amazing. there's-- he heals you for the past
  • 00:13:49.318 --> 00:13:50.886
  • There's-- he heals you for the past and then it impacts your
  • 00:13:50.953 --> 00:13:52.221
  • He heals you for the past and then it impacts your future moving forward.
  • 00:13:52.288 --> 00:13:53.188
  • And then it impacts your future moving forward. >> joyce: right.

  • Something out of that, but you get more out of it when you do a little
  • 00:15:45.067 --> 00:15:46.802
  • But you get more out of it when you do a little digging yourself.
  • 00:15:46.869 --> 00:15:47.770
  • Of it when you do a little digging yourself. and, you know, frankly, i'm
  • 00:15:47.836 --> 00:15:49.438

  • Right there it is. all that used to take me a long time.
  • 00:16:15.064 --> 00:16:15.731
  • All that used to take me a long time. but i think it was good,
  • 00:16:15.798 --> 00:16:18.000
  • Me a long time. but i think it was good, because it made me dig it out.
  • 00:16:18.067 --> 00:16:20.936
  • But i think it was good, because it made me dig it out. it made me, you know, do it.

  • 00:16:41.356 --> 00:16:43.058
  • And they had this group
  • 00:16:43.125 --> 00:16:44.059
  • And they had this group of married friends,

  • Of married friends, and then their spouse dies, and their friends are still
  • 00:16:46.462 --> 00:16:47.996
  • And then their spouse dies, and their friends are still inviting them to things,
  • 00:16:48.063 --> 00:16:49.098
  • And their friends are still inviting them to things, but now they feel
  • 00:16:49.164 --> 00:16:49.898
  • Inviting them to things, but now they feel totally out of place.
  • 00:16:49.965 --> 00:16:52.334
  • But now they feel totally out of place. they don't have to,
  • 00:16:52.401 --> 00:16:54.603
  • Totally out of place. they don't have to, because they're complete
  • 00:16:54.670 --> 00:16:55.304
  • They don't have to, because they're complete in christ.
  • 00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:56.705
  • Because they're complete in christ. i worked at a church in
  • 00:16:56.772 --> 00:16:57.706
  • In christ. i worked at a church in st. louis for five years,

  • 00:17:06.115 --> 00:17:07.516
  • Me to start my own ministry, i still went to church there. but i felt really out
  • 00:17:07.583 --> 00:17:08.317
  • I still went to church there. but i felt really out of place because
  • 00:17:08.383 --> 00:17:09.918
  • But i felt really out of place because i wasn't what i used to be,
  • 00:17:09.985 --> 00:17:11.887

  • Week depressed, you know. but i was still the same person.
  • 00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:24.800
  • But i was still the same person. my completeness was not
  • 00:17:24.867 --> 00:17:26.301
  • The same person. my completeness was not in being on that staff.
  • 00:17:26.368 --> 00:17:27.536

  • That are actually almost silly things when you get older and you look back at 'em,
  • 00:20:29.718 --> 00:20:31.153
  • Things when you get older and you look back at 'em, but it can affect them
  • 00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:32.020
  • And you look back at 'em, but it can affect them for years and years.
  • 00:20:32.087 --> 00:20:33.655
  • But it can affect them for years and years. and i remember one that
  • 00:20:33.722 --> 00:20:34.990
  • For years and years. and i remember one that happened to me, it was
  • 00:20:35.057 --> 00:20:35.724
  • And i remember one that happened to me, it was a halloween, and my dad
  • 00:20:35.791 --> 00:20:37.759
  • Happened to me, it was a halloween, and my dad never wanted to spend
  • 00:20:37.826 --> 00:20:38.493
  • A halloween, and my dad never wanted to spend any money on anything
  • 00:20:38.560 --> 00:20:40.696
  • Never wanted to spend any money on anything just because you liked it.
  • 00:20:40.762 --> 00:20:41.863
  • Any money on anything just because you liked it. and, so,
  • 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:44.633
  • Just because you liked it. and, so, he wasn't gonna buy me any
  • 00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:45.701
  • And, so, he wasn't gonna buy me any kind of halloween costume.
  • 00:20:45.767 --> 00:20:46.968
  • He wasn't gonna buy me any kind of halloween costume. so, my mother bought me this
  • 00:20:47.035 --> 00:20:49.338
  • Kind of halloween costume. so, my mother bought me this ugly, rubber, wolf mask
  • 00:20:49.404 --> 00:20:52.341
  • So, my mother bought me this ugly, rubber, wolf mask and all these other girls
  • 00:20:52.407 --> 00:20:54.810
  • Ugly, rubber, wolf mask and all these other girls at school, they were fairy
  • 00:20:54.876 --> 00:20:56.144
  • And all these other girls at school, they were fairy princesses, and their mothers
  • 00:20:56.211 --> 00:20:57.879
  • At school, they were fairy princesses, and their mothers had made them dresses.
  • 00:20:57.946 --> 00:20:59.748
  • Princesses, and their mothers had made them dresses. and i remember somebody
  • 00:20:59.815 --> 00:21:02.150
  • Had made them dresses. and i remember somebody making fun of me.
  • 00:21:02.217 --> 00:21:03.118
  • And i remember somebody making fun of me. and i remember--
  • 00:21:03.185 --> 00:21:04.653
  • Making fun of me. and i remember-- i still i can see this school
  • 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.121
  • And i remember-- i still i can see this school yard just as plain as anything,
  • 00:21:06.188 --> 00:21:07.856
  • I still i can see this school yard just as plain as anything, right now.
  • 00:21:07.923 --> 00:21:08.490
  • Yard just as plain as anything, right now. i remember backing
  • 00:21:08.557 --> 00:21:09.658
  • Right now. i remember backing up in a corner and just
  • 00:21:09.725 --> 00:21:10.559
  • I remember backing up in a corner and just kind of hiding from everybody.
  • 00:21:10.625 --> 00:21:12.361
  • Up in a corner and just kind of hiding from everybody. and, i felt ugly, because
  • 00:21:12.427 --> 00:21:16.231
  • Kind of hiding from everybody. and, i felt ugly, because of that ugly, wolf mask.
  • 00:21:16.298 --> 00:21:18.033
  • And, i felt ugly, because of that ugly, wolf mask. and so, there are things
  • 00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:19.067
  • Of that ugly, wolf mask. and so, there are things that may be bothering people
  • 00:21:19.134 --> 00:21:22.337
  • And so, there are things that may be bothering people that they've forgotten
  • 00:21:22.404 --> 00:21:23.271
  • That may be bothering people that they've forgotten even happened to them.
  • 00:21:23.338 --> 00:21:25.107
  • That they've forgotten even happened to them. but it was traumatic for me,
  • 00:21:25.173 --> 00:21:27.209
  • Even happened to them. but it was traumatic for me, at that time.
  • 00:21:27.275 --> 00:21:27.876
  • But it was traumatic for me, at that time. but the good news is,
  • 00:21:27.943 --> 00:21:30.612
  • At that time. but the good news is, jesus is our healer.
  • 00:21:30.679 --> 00:21:32.614
  • But the good news is, jesus is our healer. and if we will open our
  • 00:21:32.681 --> 00:21:33.648
  • Jesus is our healer. and if we will open our hearts to him like laney did--
  • 00:21:33.715 --> 00:21:36.051
  • And if we will open our hearts to him like laney did-- and we all did in some kind
  • 00:21:36.118 --> 00:21:37.953
  • Hearts to him like laney did-- and we all did in some kind of a different way.
  • 00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:39.154
  • And we all did in some kind of a different way. he will heal you.
  • 00:21:39.221 --> 00:21:41.456
  • Of a different way. he will heal you. it will not be overnight.
  • 00:21:41.523 --> 00:21:43.658
  • He will heal you. it will not be overnight. it will take time.
  • 00:21:43.725 --> 00:21:45.894
  • It will not be overnight. it will take time. sometimes it will hurt.
  • 00:21:45.961 --> 00:21:47.062
  • It will take time. sometimes it will hurt. but if you stick with it,
  • 00:21:47.129 --> 00:21:49.865
  • Sometimes it will hurt. but if you stick with it, you can also be free from
  • 00:21:49.931 --> 00:21:51.199
  • But if you stick with it, you can also be free from all those things that
  • 00:21:51.266 --> 00:21:53.001
  • You can also be free from all those things that are a problem for you.
  • 00:21:53.068 --> 00:21:54.369
  • All those things that are a problem for you. >> ginger: you talk about
  • 00:21:54.436 --> 00:21:55.137
  • Are a problem for you. >> ginger: you talk about different scriptures that
  • 00:21:55.203 --> 00:21:57.439
  • >> ginger: you talk about different scriptures that have impacted all of us and not
  • 00:21:57.506 --> 00:21:59.474
  • Different scriptures that have impacted all of us and not being spiritually lazy so that
  • 00:21:59.541 --> 00:22:01.510
  • Have impacted all of us and not being spiritually lazy so that we can find those things
  • 00:22:01.576 --> 00:22:02.811
  • Being spiritually lazy so that we can find those things and hold on to them and believe.
  • 00:22:02.878 --> 00:22:05.213
  • And one of them, for me,
  • 00:22:05.714 --> 00:22:06.848
  • And one of them, for me, is ephesians 2:10.
  • 00:22:06.915 --> 00:22:08.016
  • And one of them, for me, is ephesians 2:10. it says, "for we are his
  • 00:22:08.083 --> 00:22:09.151
  • Is ephesians 2:10. it says, "for we are his workmanship, created in christ
  • 00:22:09.217 --> 00:22:11.720
  • It says, "for we are his workmanship, created in christ jesus for good works."
  • 00:22:11.787 --> 00:22:13.088
  • Workmanship, created in christ jesus for good works." and that means so much to me,
  • 00:22:13.155 --> 00:22:15.624
  • Because again, it's like that,
  • 00:22:15.690 --> 00:22:17.225
  • Because again, it's like that, with god so loving
  • 00:22:17.292 --> 00:22:19.194
  • Because again, it's like that, with god so loving the world is very broad.
  • 00:22:19.261 --> 00:22:20.829
  • With god so loving the world is very broad. but it's not just that i was
  • 00:22:20.896 --> 00:22:22.898
  • The world is very broad. but it's not just that i was even created by god,
  • 00:22:22.964 --> 00:22:24.900
  • But it's not just that i was even created by god, but it's i'm his workmanship.
  • 00:22:24.966 --> 00:22:27.269
  • Even created by god, but it's i'm his workmanship. that means he took
  • 00:22:27.335 --> 00:22:28.170
  • But it's i'm his workmanship. that means he took his hands with me,
  • 00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:30.071
  • That means he took his hands with me, specifically, in mind
  • 00:22:30.138 --> 00:22:31.540
  • His hands with me, specifically, in mind and gave me parts of my mom,
  • 00:22:31.606 --> 00:22:36.144
  • Specifically, in mind and gave me parts of my mom, and parts of my dad,
  • 00:22:36.211 --> 00:22:37.179
  • And gave me parts of my mom, and parts of my dad, and parts of christ,
  • 00:22:37.245 --> 00:22:39.114
  • And parts of my dad, and parts of christ, that he just wanted me to have
  • 00:22:39.181 --> 00:22:40.515
  • And parts of christ, that he just wanted me to have to be able to serve him,
  • 00:22:40.582 --> 00:22:41.650
  • That he just wanted me to have to be able to serve him, and created something totally
  • 00:22:41.716 --> 00:22:44.119
  • To be able to serve him, and created something totally different than anybody else.
  • 00:22:44.186 --> 00:22:45.620
  • And created something totally different than anybody else. and when i look
  • 00:22:45.687 --> 00:22:46.721
  • Different than anybody else. and when i look at all the problems that
  • 00:22:46.788 --> 00:22:47.689
  • And when i look at all the problems that i see in those things, i'm like,
  • 00:22:47.756 --> 00:22:48.723
  • At all the problems that i see in those things, i'm like, "god, why did you
  • 00:22:48.790 --> 00:22:49.624
  • I see in those things, i'm like, "god, why did you make me so mouthy?"
  • 00:22:49.691 --> 00:22:50.625
  • "god, why did you make me so mouthy?" >> [ladies laughing]

  • >> ginger: you know, "why are some of these things going on?"
  • 00:22:54.162 --> 00:22:55.230
  • "why are some of these things going on?" and he's like,
  • 00:22:55.297 --> 00:22:57.466
  • Things going on?" and he's like, "i knew what i was doing.
  • 00:22:57.532 --> 00:22:59.468
  • And he's like, "i knew what i was doing. i created you for good works."
  • 00:22:59.534 --> 00:23:02.003
  • "i knew what i was doing. i created you for good works." and they've been a part
  • 00:23:02.070 --> 00:23:05.006
  • I created you for good works." and they've been a part of god's plan for me all along.
  • 00:23:05.073 --> 00:23:07.342
  • And they've been a part of god's plan for me all along. and so, there are so many
  • 00:23:07.409 --> 00:23:09.544
  • Of god's plan for me all along. and so, there are so many beautiful things in the word
  • 00:23:09.611 --> 00:23:11.146
  • And so, there are so many beautiful things in the word that we could hold on to that
  • 00:23:11.213 --> 00:23:12.881
