- I thought i was okay, and now i don't feel that i am again," because
- 00:04:11.774 --> 00:04:13.543
- And now i don't feel that i am again," because of circumstances in our life.
- 00:04:13.609 --> 00:04:16.012
- That i am again," because of circumstances in our life. so, how do we get beyond
- 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
- So, how do we get beyond the circumstances that we're living in, to let this become
- 00:04:20.416 --> 00:04:24.987
- The circumstances that we're living in, to let this become a more of a piece of who we are,
- 00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:26.689
- Living in, to let this become a more of a piece of who we are, instead of what's
- 00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:28.257
- A more of a piece of who we are, instead of what's going on around us?
- 00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:29.992
- >> erin: i was thinking, laney,
- 00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:31.060
- >> erin: i was thinking, laney, when you were talking earlier,
- 00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:33.129
- >> erin: i was thinking, laney, when you were talking earlier, that, that revelation
- 00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:34.297
- When you were talking earlier, that, that revelation that you have with god,
- 00:04:34.364 --> 00:04:35.198
- That, that revelation that you have with god, when you fully understand
- 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:36.165
- That you have with god, when you fully understand who you are in him, it becomes,
- 00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:38.668
- When you fully understand who you are in him, it becomes, for my experience,
- 00:04:38.735 --> 00:04:39.302
- Who you are in him, it becomes, for my experience, like this safe place.
- 00:04:39.369 --> 00:04:40.503
- For my experience, like this safe place. and so, i know i can go to him,
- 00:04:40.570 --> 00:04:41.838
- Like this safe place. and so, i know i can go to him, and i like, i can visualize
- 00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:43.072
- And so, i know i can go to him, and i like, i can visualize what that looks like.
- 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:43.806
- And i like, i can visualize what that looks like. i am sitting under a tree
- 00:04:43.873 --> 00:04:45.108
- What that looks like. i am sitting under a tree with jesus, and it's my head
- 00:04:45.174 --> 00:04:46.376
- I am sitting under a tree with jesus, and it's my head on his shoulder.
- 00:04:46.442 --> 00:04:47.009
- With jesus, and it's my head on his shoulder. and i'm young and in this
- 00:04:47.076 --> 00:04:48.277
- Vision that i have.
- 00:04:48.344 --> 00:04:49.245
- Vision that i have. and so, when different
- 00:04:49.312 --> 00:04:50.413
- Vision that i have. and so, when different seasons happen, i feel
- 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.381
- And so, when different seasons happen, i feel like that's just part of life.
- 00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:52.315
- Seasons happen, i feel like that's just part of life. we're gonna go through
- 00:04:52.382 --> 00:04:52.949
- Like that's just part of life. we're gonna go through seasons that are gonna cause
- 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
- Seasons that are gonna cause us to question our identity. and it's not--
- 00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:55.985
- Us to question our identity. and it's not-- i can't avoid it.
- 00:04:56.052 --> 00:04:57.053
- And it's not-- i can't avoid it. it is going to happen.
- 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:57.987
- I can't avoid it. it is going to happen. but i know i can always
- 00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.389
- It is going to happen. but i know i can always go back to that place.
- 00:04:59.455 --> 00:05:00.423
- But i know i can always go back to that place. like, what's that safe place
- 00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:01.691
- Go back to that place. like, what's that safe place i have with jesus where
- 00:05:01.758 --> 00:05:02.725
- Like, what's that safe place i have with jesus where i'm not anybody else, i'm just--
- 00:05:02.792 --> 00:05:04.293
- I have with jesus where i'm not anybody else, i'm just-- i'm just erin?
- 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:05.261
- I'm not anybody else, i'm just-- i'm just erin? just his daughter
- 00:05:05.328 --> 00:05:06.629
- I'm just erin? just his daughter that he created.
- 00:05:06.696 --> 00:05:07.430
- Just his daughter that he created. and i can go back.
- 00:05:07.497 --> 00:05:08.931
- That he created. and i can go back. that's where my roots are.
- 00:05:08.998 --> 00:05:09.999
- And i can go back. that's where my roots are. like, that's my foundation

- There's nobody else there but me and him. i'm not earning anything.
- 00:05:15.371 --> 00:05:16.272
- There but me and him. i'm not earning anything. it's just to continue
- 00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:17.874
- I'm not earning anything. it's just to continue to go back to the source
- 00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:19.308
- It's just to continue to go back to the source and to be reminded,
- 00:05:19.375 --> 00:05:20.009
- To go back to the source and to be reminded, you know, this is who i am.
- 00:05:20.076 --> 00:05:21.043
- And to be reminded, you know, this is who i am. >> erin: so, then he can
- 00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:21.911
- You know, this is who i am. >> erin: so, then he can send me back out.
- 00:05:21.978 --> 00:05:22.478
- >> erin: so, then he can send me back out. >> ginger: oh, i love that.
- 00:05:22.545 --> 00:05:23.346
- Send me back out. >> ginger: oh, i love that. that's great!
- 00:05:23.413 --> 00:05:23.880
- >> ginger: oh, i love that. that's great! >> erin: that's the reason,
- 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:24.614
- That's great! >> erin: that's the reason, you know?
- 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:25.047
- >> erin: that's the reason, you know? >> ginger: yeah.
- 00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:25.515
- You know? >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: but i feel like
- 00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:26.382
- >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: but i feel like you just have to keep
- 00:05:26.449 --> 00:05:27.116
- >> erin: but i feel like you just have to keep going back to him.
- 00:05:27.183 --> 00:05:27.717
- You just have to keep going back to him. >> joyce: and we do have
- 00:05:27.784 --> 00:05:28.618
- Going back to him. >> joyce: and we do have to remember we have an enemy,
- 00:05:28.684 --> 00:05:29.552
- >> joyce: and we do have to remember we have an enemy, the devil.
- 00:05:29.619 --> 00:05:30.186
- 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
- 00:05:36.692 --> 00:05:38.127
- All the time, "there's something wrong with us, there's something wrong with us."
- 00:05:38.194 --> 00:05:39.162
- 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,
- 00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:03.639
- That i felt like god was saying, like, "let go of this, let go of this,
- 00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:04.540
- Like, "let go of this, let go of this, 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
- 00:08:08.311 --> 00:08:09.045
- Me something better. >> joyce: things that your security's in.
- 00:08:09.111 --> 00:08:10.313
- >> joyce: things that your security's in. >> laney: yes, yes.
- 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.113
- Security's in. >> laney: yes, yes. and just letting go.
- 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:12.748
- >> laney: yes, yes. and just letting go. and i think, then it becomes
- 00:08:12.815 --> 00:08:14.250
- And just letting go. and i think, then it becomes just his word, like,
- 00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:16.152
- 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--
- 00:08:17.853 --> 00:08:19.755
- I fell in love with his word. i'd been-- i'd heard scripture
- 00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:21.257
- I'd been-- i'd heard scripture my whole life,
- 00:08:21.324 --> 00:08:21.958
- I'd heard scripture my whole life, growing up in a christian home,
- 00:08:22.024 --> 00:08:23.225
- My whole life, growing up in a christian home, but when i started to open
- 00:08:23.292 --> 00:08:25.328
- Growing up in a christian home, but when i started to open it and look for jesus,
- 00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:27.330
- But when i started to open it and look for jesus, to not look for what
- 00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:28.931
- It and look for jesus, to not look for what i've done wrong, you know,
- 00:08:28.998 --> 00:08:30.433
- To not look for what i've done wrong, you know, like we're saying,
- 00:08:30.499 --> 00:08:31.167
- I've done wrong, you know, like we're saying, or what i need to change,
- 00:08:31.233 --> 00:08:32.468
- Like we're saying, or what i need to change, but looking for jesus
- 00:08:32.535 --> 00:08:34.370
- Or what i need to change, but looking for jesus in the story,
- 00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:35.471
- But looking for jesus in the story, and i have so much
- 00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:36.872
- In the story, and i have so much to learn still,
- 00:08:36.939 --> 00:08:37.807
- And i have so much to learn still, but simply that just
- 00:08:37.873 --> 00:08:40.176
- To learn still, but simply that just changed things for
- 00:08:40.242 --> 00:08:41.210
- But simply that just changed things for me and started to change
- 00:08:41.277 --> 00:08:43.279
- Changed things for me and started to change me from the inside out.
- 00:08:43.346 --> 00:08:45.748
- Me and started to change me from the inside out. and it was really cool.
- 00:08:45.815 --> 00:08:46.849
- Me from the inside out. and it was really cool. i just turned 30 this year
- 00:08:46.916 --> 00:08:48.384
- And it was really cool. i just turned 30 this year and, i was kind of--
- 00:08:48.451 --> 00:08:50.419
- I just turned 30 this year and, i was kind of-- >> joyce: you, old thing, you.
- 00:08:50.486 --> 00:08:52.054
- And, i was kind of-- >> joyce: you, old thing, you. >> [ladies laughing]
- 00:08:52.121 --> 00:08:52.688
- >> joyce: you, old thing, you. >> [ladies laughing] >> joyce: i have to laugh
- 00:08:52.755 --> 00:08:54.490
- >> [ladies laughing] >> joyce: i have to laugh when people do that.
- 00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:57.226
- >> joyce: i have to laugh when people do that. >> laney: but i was thinking
- 00:08:57.293 --> 00:08:58.160
- When people do that. >> laney: but i was thinking back to my 20th birthday
- 00:08:58.227 --> 00:08:59.695
- >> laney: but i was thinking back to my 20th birthday and thinking about just like
- 00:08:59.762 --> 00:09:01.931
- Back to my 20th birthday and thinking about just like the difference between what
- 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:03.699
- And thinking about just like the difference between what i wanted then, and what i--
- 00:09:03.766 --> 00:09:08.738
- The difference between what i wanted then, and what i-- what i wanted this time.
- 00:09:08.804 --> 00:09:10.406
- I wanted then, and what i-- what i wanted this time. like, just that marker of,
- 00:09:10.473 --> 00:09:12.141
- What i wanted this time. like, just that marker of, like, i want it to be--
- 00:09:12.208 --> 00:09:13.376
- Like, just that marker of, like, i want it to be-- >> ginger: oh, honey,
- 00:09:13.442 --> 00:09:14.010
- Like, i want it to be-- >> ginger: oh, honey, wait for 40 and 50.
- 00:09:14.076 --> 00:09:14.777
- >> ginger: oh, honey, wait for 40 and 50. i mean, it just--
- 00:09:14.844 --> 00:09:15.578
- Wait for 40 and 50. i mean, it just-- i love talking about these
- 00:09:15.645 --> 00:09:17.279
- I mean, it just-- i love talking about these changes because
- 00:09:17.346 --> 00:09:17.980
- I love talking about these changes because it's so important.
- 00:09:18.047 --> 00:09:19.715
- 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,
- 00:09:21.117 --> 00:09:23.285
- >> laney: yeah, but i wanted to be worthy of my title, you know?
- 00:09:23.352 --> 00:09:23.919
- To be worthy of my title, you know? i wanted to be beautiful.
- 00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.588
- You know? i wanted to be beautiful. i wanted all these, like,
- 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
- He's changed what brings life to me. he's changed my desires.
- 00:09:44.674 --> 00:09:46.208
- Brings life to me. he's changed my desires. he's changed what i want,
- 00:09:46.275 --> 00:09:48.244
- He's changed my desires. he's changed what i want, you know?
- 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.
- 00:13:53.255 --> 00:13:54.390

- 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,

- 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

- 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.

- 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

- Things going on?" and he's like, "i knew what i was doing.
