Joyce and erin today, we're gonna answer many of your questions.

We're gonna answer many of your questions. and of course,
00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:34.417
Many of your questions. and of course, this is something that you've
00:01:34.484 --> 00:01:35.451
And of course, this is something that you've talked about so much, joyce,
00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:36.586
This is something that you've talked about so much, joyce, and it's been really
00:01:36.653 --> 00:01:38.321
Talked about so much, joyce, and it's been really greatly helpful for
00:01:38.388 --> 00:01:39.222
And it's been really greatly helpful for so many people's lives.
00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:40.223
Greatly helpful for so many people's lives. >> joyce: you know,
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:40.857
So many people's lives. >> joyce: you know, i've been thinking
00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:41.324
>> joyce: you know, i've been thinking the last couple of days,
00:01:41.391 --> 00:01:43.393
I've been thinking the last couple of days, and i think that some people
00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:46.396
The last couple of days, and i think that some people have lived with dysfunction
00:01:46.462 --> 00:01:49.699
And i think that some people have lived with dysfunction so long that they
00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:52.368
Have lived with dysfunction so long that they think it's normal.
00:01:52.435 --> 00:01:53.069
So long that they think it's normal. >> erin: yeah, i agree.
00:01:53.136 --> 00:01:54.470
Think it's normal. >> erin: yeah, i agree. >> joyce: and so,
00:01:54.537 --> 00:01:55.104
>> erin: yeah, i agree. >> joyce: and so, i believe that there's
00:01:55.171 --> 00:01:55.738
>> joyce: and so, i believe that there's probably a lot of people
00:01:55.805 --> 00:01:56.639
I believe that there's probably a lot of people watching that have a problem,
00:01:56.706 --> 00:01:59.842
Probably a lot of people watching that have a problem, but they don't even know
00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:00.610
Watching that have a problem, but they don't even know they have a problem.
00:02:00.677 --> 00:02:02.345
But they don't even know they have a problem. and the bible says
00:02:02.412 --> 00:02:03.413
They have a problem. and the bible says in romans 12 that
00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:04.781
And the bible says in romans 12 that if you are going
00:02:04.847 --> 00:02:07.317
In romans 12 that if you are going to experience the good life
00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:10.954
If you are going to experience the good life that god has for yourself,
00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:13.323
To experience the good life that god has for yourself, you must have your mind
00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:15.058
That god has for yourself, you must have your mind "completely renewed."
00:02:15.124 --> 00:02:17.527
You must have your mind "completely renewed." and so, we have to get
00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:21.731
To the point where
00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:22.599
To the point where we believe what god says
00:02:22.665 --> 00:02:24.400
To the point where we believe what god says more than we believe what
00:02:24.467 --> 00:02:25.635
We believe what god says more than we believe what we say or what we feel.
00:02:25.702 --> 00:02:28.204
More than we believe what we say or what we feel. i know i grew up in a household
00:02:28.271 --> 00:02:29.672
We say or what we feel. i know i grew up in a household that was just very volatile
00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:34.544
I know i grew up in a household that was just very volatile all the time.
00:02:34.611 --> 00:02:35.411
That was just very volatile all the time. a lot of anger.
00:02:35.478 --> 00:02:37.747
All the time. a lot of anger. anger was more
00:02:37.814 --> 00:02:38.581
A lot of anger. anger was more normal than peace.
00:02:38.648 --> 00:02:40.583
Anger was more normal than peace. and this is gonna really
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:43.453
Normal than peace. and this is gonna really sound ridiculous,
00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:44.487
And this is gonna really sound ridiculous, but when i first started really
00:02:44.554 --> 00:02:46.089
Sound ridiculous, but when i first started really getting peace, i was bored.
00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:49.525
But when i first started really getting peace, i was bored. >> ginger: yeah.
00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:50.026
Getting peace, i was bored. >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: because you were
00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:50.793
>> ginger: yeah. >> erin: because you were so unaccustomed to it.
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:51.361
>> erin: because you were so unaccustomed to it. >> ginger: it makes sense.
00:02:51.427 --> 00:02:52.095
So unaccustomed to it. >> ginger: it makes sense. >> joyce: because i was so used
00:02:52.161 --> 00:02:53.129
>> ginger: it makes sense. >> joyce: because i was so used to turmoil all the time.
00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:54.163
>> joyce: because i was so used to turmoil all the time. >> ginger: yeah.
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:54.697
To turmoil all the time. >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and of course, now,
00:02:54.764 --> 00:02:55.832
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and of course, now, peace doesn't bore me at all.
00:02:55.898 --> 00:02:56.799
>> joyce: and of course, now, peace doesn't bore me at all. i love it.
00:02:56.866 --> 00:02:57.300
Peace doesn't bore me at all. i love it. but i do think--
00:02:57.367 --> 00:02:59.035
I love it. but i do think-- >> ginger: wait a minute.
00:02:59.102 --> 00:02:59.802
But i do think-- >> ginger: wait a minute. i don't want to brush
00:02:59.869 --> 00:03:00.536
>> ginger: wait a minute. i don't want to brush over what you just said,
00:03:00.603 --> 00:03:01.404
I don't want to brush over what you just said, because that's so important.
00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:02.939
Over what you just said, because that's so important. now peace doesn't bore you,
00:03:03.006 --> 00:03:04.607
Because that's so important. now peace doesn't bore you, because we do,
00:03:04.674 --> 00:03:05.942
Now peace doesn't bore you, because we do, we think we need something
00:03:06.009 --> 00:03:07.543
Because we do, we think we need something in our life to keep
00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:08.645
We think we need something in our life to keep us stirred up almost.
00:03:08.711 --> 00:03:09.646
In our life to keep us stirred up almost. >> joyce: we need to be doing
00:03:09.712 --> 00:03:10.680
Us stirred up almost. >> joyce: we need to be doing something all the time,
00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:11.347
>> joyce: we need to be doing something all the time, having something exciting.
00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:12.382
Something all the time, having something exciting. >> ginger: yes.
00:03:12.448 --> 00:03:13.049
Having something exciting. >> ginger: yes. >> erin: that's true.
00:03:13.116 --> 00:03:13.783
>> ginger: yes. >> erin: that's true. >> ginger: and when you
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:15.451
>> erin: that's true. >> ginger: and when you begin to have that healing,
00:03:15.518 --> 00:03:17.587
>> ginger: and when you begin to have that healing, when you begin to feel god's
00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.756
Begin to have that healing, when you begin to feel god's peace, you realize,
00:03:19.822 --> 00:03:21.557
When you begin to feel god's peace, you realize, "hey, this is more
00:03:21.624 --> 00:03:23.159
Peace, you realize, "hey, this is more than i expected."
00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:25.128
>> erin: you know, and i wonder,
00:03:25.461 --> 00:03:26.796
>> erin: you know, and i wonder, because i've experienced
00:03:26.863 --> 00:03:27.530
>> erin: you know, and i wonder, because i've experienced this in my own life in seasons
00:03:27.597 --> 00:03:28.564
Because i've experienced this in my own life in seasons that have been really painful,
00:03:28.631 --> 00:03:30.166
This in my own life in seasons that have been really painful, that the mundane
00:03:30.233 --> 00:03:31.934
That have been really painful, that the mundane and the quiet feel
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:33.569
That the mundane and the quiet feel scary because that's where
00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:35.305
And the quiet feel scary because that's where you can sit and think about
00:03:35.371 --> 00:03:36.873
What pain you might need
00:03:36.939 --> 00:03:38.408
What pain you might need to work through or where
00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:39.776
What pain you might need to work through or where you might need god to heal you.
00:03:39.842 --> 00:03:40.843
To work through or where you might need god to heal you. so, the quiet sometimes
00:03:40.910 --> 00:03:43.012
You might need god to heal you. so, the quiet sometimes feels a little bit scary.
00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:44.247
So, the quiet sometimes feels a little bit scary. >> joyce: well, and sometimes
00:03:44.314 --> 00:03:45.515
Feels a little bit scary. >> joyce: well, and sometimes people don't like the quiet
00:03:45.581 --> 00:03:47.150
>> joyce: well, and sometimes people don't like the quiet because then they have
00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:48.151
People don't like the quiet because then they have to be with themselves.
00:03:48.217 --> 00:03:49.452
Because then they have to be with themselves. >> erin: yes.
00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:50.086
To be with themselves. >> erin: yes. sometimes i don't want to.
00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:51.254

00:04:01.064 --> 00:04:02.231
And it's only been a year or so ago when i came across
00:04:02.298 --> 00:04:03.700
And it's only been a year or so ago when i came across the scripture
00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:04.334
Or so ago when i came across the scripture in philemon 1:6 that says that
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.604
The scripture in philemon 1:6 that says that your "faith is activated
00:04:08.671 --> 00:04:10.940

By the acknowledging of all the good things that are in you.

And most people would think it's prideful to do that. but the thing is,
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:30.526
It's prideful to do that. but the thing is, if you always know
00:04:30.593 --> 00:04:31.561
But the thing is, if you always know that it's in christ.

The bible says we're precious. we're created in the image of god.
00:04:37.533 --> 00:04:38.701
We're created in the image of god. that god rejoices
00:04:38.768 --> 00:04:39.869
In the image of god. that god rejoices over us with singing.
00:04:39.936 --> 00:04:41.003
That god rejoices over us with singing. and there's just, i mean,
00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:42.338
Over us with singing. and there's just, i mean, there's a long list
00:04:42.405 --> 00:04:43.706
And there's just, i mean, there's a long list of wonderful things
00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:44.874
There's a long list of wonderful things the bible says about us.
00:04:44.941 --> 00:04:46.075
Of wonderful things the bible says about us. and yet, most of us--
00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:47.777
The bible says about us. and yet, most of us-- i'm not anymore because

And yet, most of us-- i'm not anymore because i've studied this so much,
00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.046
I'm not anymore because i've studied this so much, but you feel kind
00:04:50.113 --> 00:04:52.582
I've studied this so much, but you feel kind of foolish when you start
00:04:52.648 --> 00:04:53.983
But you feel kind of foolish when you start actually sitting and saying
00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:55.651
Of foolish when you start actually sitting and saying these things out loud.
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:57.420
Actually sitting and saying these things out loud. >> ginger: well, and it's god
00:04:57.487 --> 00:04:58.354
These things out loud. >> ginger: well, and it's god who put those things in us.

>> ginger: well, and it's god who put those things in us. where it's foolish
00:05:00.123 --> 00:05:01.057
Who put those things in us. where it's foolish is if we're trying
00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:01.924
Where it's foolish is if we're trying to take the credit for it.
00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:03.760
Is if we're trying to take the credit for it. so, if we can allow
00:05:03.826 --> 00:05:05.762
To take the credit for it. so, if we can allow ourselves to believe what
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.463
So, if we can allow ourselves to believe what the word says and believe
00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.332
Ourselves to believe what the word says and believe that about ourselves,
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.768
The word says and believe that about ourselves, that's the revelation that
00:05:11.834 --> 00:05:13.770
That about ourselves, that's the revelation that god wanted us to get.
00:05:13.836 --> 00:05:14.804
That's the revelation that god wanted us to get. >> joyce: but it takes
00:05:14.871 --> 00:05:15.571
God wanted us to get. >> joyce: but it takes us a while to get there.

>> joyce: but it takes us a while to get there. >> ginger: oh, absolutely.
00:05:16.606 --> 00:05:17.240

00:05:17.306 --> 00:05:17.874
>> ginger: oh, absolutely. >> joyce: because we've actually almost been taught
00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:19.575

00:05:19.642 --> 00:05:22.845
Actually almost been taught by religion that it's wrong. >> ginger: yeah.
00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:23.980

>> joyce: you know, we're just sinners and we're gonna
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:26.215
We're just sinners and we're gonna sin all the time.
00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:27.383
And we're gonna sin all the time. and we constantly
00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:28.818
Sin all the time. and we constantly need forgiveness.
00:05:28.885 --> 00:05:29.819
And we constantly need forgiveness. and, you know,
00:05:29.886 --> 00:05:31.387
Need forgiveness. and, you know, i'm not saying that
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:32.021
And, you know, i'm not saying that we don't need forgiveness,
00:05:32.088 --> 00:05:33.055
I'm not saying that we don't need forgiveness, but we have it.
00:05:33.122 --> 00:05:34.957
We don't need forgiveness, but we have it. it's already been provided.
00:05:35.024 --> 00:05:37.226
But we have it. it's already been provided. and god forgives us immediately.
00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:41.697
I like psalm 32 where
00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:43.666
I like psalm 32 where david says he finally
00:05:43.733 --> 00:05:47.003
I like psalm 32 where david says he finally admitted his sins and god
00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:48.871
David says he finally admitted his sins and god "instantly forgave" him.
00:05:48.938 --> 00:05:50.840
Admitted his sins and god "instantly forgave" him. in the amplified bible,
00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:51.841
"instantly forgave" him. in the amplified bible, it says that.
00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:52.508

>> ginger: so, we wanna talk about a lot of different aspects.
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.081
Talk about a lot of different aspects. and i think one thing
00:05:59.148 --> 00:05:59.849
Of different aspects. and i think one thing that might help people,
00:05:59.916 --> 00:06:00.817
And i think one thing that might help people, joyce--
00:06:00.883 --> 00:06:01.484

Joyce-- we're gonna listen to a little teaching

We're gonna listen to a little teaching you have on this too.

To a little teaching you have on this too. but before we do that,

You have on this too. but before we do that, let's talk about some
00:06:06.022 --> 00:06:06.989
But before we do that, let's talk about some of those things that
00:06:07.056 --> 00:06:08.090
Let's talk about some of those things that do wound our souls.
00:06:08.157 --> 00:06:09.492
Of those things that do wound our souls. because i think some people,
00:06:09.559 --> 00:06:11.327
Do wound our souls. because i think some people, right now, may be saying,
00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:12.428
Because i think some people, right now, may be saying, "i'm not sure," you know.
00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.964
But if you've been through
00:06:16.165 --> 00:06:16.899
But if you've been through what you've been through,
00:06:16.966 --> 00:06:18.100
But if you've been through what you've been through, if you've been through abuse--

Verbal abuse, being compared to another sibling that gets better

Not getting the love and affection that you need. of course,

And affection that you need. of course, sexual abuse is terrible.
00:06:31.814 --> 00:06:34.317
Of course, sexual abuse is terrible. but also, rejection,
00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:36.552
Sexual abuse is terrible. but also, rejection, rejection by peers,
00:06:36.619 --> 00:06:38.621
But also, rejection, rejection by peers, being made fun of.

Being made fun of. you know, there's just a lot of different things.

You know, there's just a lot of different things. and people are different.

Of different things. and people are different. and some things that would not

Bother one person at all can

Bother one person at all can deeply wound another person.

Something like the loss of someone you love that you're having a hard time getting over.

Reading it and thinking, "i didn't know that that experience has marked me.
00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:30.973
"i didn't know that that experience has marked me. i didn't know that

Experience has marked me. i didn't know that i'm probably responding

I'm probably responding because that wounded me, and i didn't ever connect it."
00:07:35.945 --> 00:07:37.280
Because that wounded me, and i didn't ever connect it." and i think,

And i didn't ever connect it." and i think, there's so many of us,
00:07:37.947 --> 00:07:38.648

There's so many of us, as women, specifically, we don't know why

As women, specifically, we don't know why we respond a certain way.
00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:41.817
We don't know why we respond a certain way. "i don't know why

To pinpoint and say, "this is what caused that pain," and then to know what

Meeting in a group; they'd finally come to the point where they

They'd finally come to the point where they wanted help and they
00:08:06.008 --> 00:08:06.642
To the point where they wanted help and they were meeting in a group.

[chuckling] you know, i found out-- i went to a certain
00:11:49.265 --> 00:11:50.399
You know, i found out-- i went to a certain church for nine years,
00:11:50.466 --> 00:11:51.534
I went to a certain church for nine years, and i got a lot of good,
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:52.668
Church for nine years, and i got a lot of good, sound, solid doctrine,
00:11:52.735 --> 00:11:55.171
And i got a lot of good, sound, solid doctrine, which is important.
00:11:55.237 --> 00:11:56.806
Sound, solid doctrine, which is important. but i wasn't being taught
00:11:56.872 --> 00:12:00.309
Which is important. but i wasn't being taught how to live my everyday life.
00:12:00.376 --> 00:12:01.811
But i wasn't being taught how to live my everyday life. i wasn't being taught
00:12:01.877 --> 00:12:03.245
How to live my everyday life. i wasn't being taught what kind of life i should
00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:06.515
I wasn't being taught what kind of life i should have or should expect.
00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:08.784
What kind of life i should have or should expect. so, i didn't even really
00:12:08.851 --> 00:12:10.085
Have or should expect. so, i didn't even really know it existed until
00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:13.189
So, i didn't even really know it existed until i started really studying
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:14.723
Know it existed until i started really studying the bible for myself.
00:12:14.790 --> 00:12:17.593
And i'm always amazed
00:12:19.261 --> 00:12:20.696
And i'm always amazed at genesis 11:31-32.
00:12:20.763 --> 00:12:23.766
And i'm always amazed at genesis 11:31-32. it says, "terah took
00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:25.301
At genesis 11:31-32. it says, "terah took his son abram--"
00:12:25.367 --> 00:12:27.136
It says, "terah took his son abram--" we know abraham was very
00:12:27.203 --> 00:12:29.872
His son abram--" we know abraham was very important in the bible.
00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:31.373
We know abraham was very important in the bible. but terah was his father,
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.775
Important in the bible. but terah was his father, and he "took abram,
00:12:32.842 --> 00:12:34.243
But terah was his father, and he "took abram, his grandson,
00:12:34.310 --> 00:12:35.444
And he "took abram, his grandson, lot, the son of haran,

Lot, the son of haran, and his daughter-in-law, sarai, the wife of his son abram.
00:12:39.048 --> 00:12:40.683
And his daughter-in-law, sarai, the wife of his son abram. and together they set out
00:12:40.749 --> 00:12:42.218
The wife of his son abram. and together they set out from ur of the chaldees
00:12:42.284 --> 00:12:43.519
And together they set out from ur of the chaldees to go to canaan;
00:12:43.586 --> 00:12:45.588
From ur of the chaldees to go to canaan; but when they came to haran,
00:12:45.654 --> 00:12:47.590
To go to canaan; but when they came to haran, they settled there."
00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:50.226
But when they came to haran, they settled there." now, i don't know
00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:51.861
They settled there." now, i don't know if you got that or not,
00:12:51.927 --> 00:12:52.895
Now, i don't know if you got that or not, but they started for canaan,
00:12:52.962 --> 00:12:57.533
If you got that or not, but they started for canaan, which was the promised land,
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.668
But they started for canaan, which was the promised land, which was the same place
00:12:59.735 --> 00:13:00.703
Which was the promised land, which was the same place where god sent abraham.
00:13:00.769 --> 00:13:02.972
Which was the same place where god sent abraham. but for whatever reason,
00:13:03.038 --> 00:13:05.774
Where god sent abraham. but for whatever reason, he got tired.
00:13:05.841 --> 00:13:08.210
But for whatever reason, he got tired. he didn't wanna do it anymore.
00:13:08.277 --> 00:13:10.679
He got tired. he didn't wanna do it anymore. he settled.
00:13:10.746 --> 00:13:13.515
He didn't wanna do it anymore. he settled. "terah lived 205 years;
00:13:13.582 --> 00:13:15.317
He settled. "terah lived 205 years; and he died in haran."
00:13:15.384 --> 00:13:17.686
"terah lived 205 years; and he died in haran." so, he died where he settled.
00:13:17.753 --> 00:13:22.091
And he died in haran." so, he died where he settled. and i just think a lot
00:13:22.157 --> 00:13:23.058
So, he died where he settled. and i just think a lot of people do that.
00:13:23.125 --> 00:13:24.493
And i just think a lot of people do that. there's so many
00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:25.327
Of people do that. there's so many people in the bible
00:13:25.394 --> 00:13:26.262
There's so many people in the bible that we hear of once.
00:13:26.328 --> 00:13:27.997
People in the bible that we hear of once. >> erin: yeah.
00:13:28.063 --> 00:13:29.498

Have these giants of the faith who go,
00:13:33.836 --> 00:13:35.271
Have these giants of the faith who go, they go through the difficult
00:13:35.337 --> 00:13:37.039
Of the faith who go, they go through the difficult things to get to the freedom.
00:13:37.106 --> 00:13:40.776
They go through the difficult things to get to the freedom. and i just believe that--
00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:43.145
Things to get to the freedom. and i just believe that-- i got determined

I got determined to have everything that jesus died for me to have.
00:13:46.115 --> 00:13:49.184
And actually, that's what
00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:50.653
And actually, that's what paul says in philippians 3,
00:13:50.719 --> 00:13:51.820
And actually, that's what paul says in philippians 3, that he said, he was determined

That he said, he was determined to have everything that jesus died to give him.
00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:04.033
To have everything that jesus died to give him. he said, "i press on..."
00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.768

00:14:09.038 --> 00:14:10.239
>> ginger: and not settling. >> joyce: i've always been a pretty determined person.
00:14:10.306 --> 00:14:11.473
>> joyce: i've always been a pretty determined person. i don't think i would have
00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:12.374
A pretty determined person. i don't think i would have gotten through what
00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:13.108
I don't think i would have gotten through what i got through as a child
00:14:13.175 --> 00:14:14.410
Gotten through what i got through as a child if i wouldn't have been.
00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:15.477
I got through as a child if i wouldn't have been. and that was probably
00:14:15.544 --> 00:14:16.245
If i wouldn't have been. and that was probably god's gift to me.
00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:17.780
And that was probably god's gift to me. maybe a lot of people
00:14:17.846 --> 00:14:18.647
God's gift to me. maybe a lot of people don't have the level
00:14:18.714 --> 00:14:21.050
Maybe a lot of people don't have the level of determination that i have,
00:14:21.116 --> 00:14:22.618
Don't have the level of determination that i have, but i'm just not,

Of determination that i have, but i'm just not, i just don't quit.
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:26.655
But i'm just not, i just don't quit. i'm like a bulldog on a bone.

I just don't quit. i'm like a bulldog on a bone. you know, it's like--
00:14:28.223 --> 00:14:30.259
I'm like a bulldog on a bone. you know, it's like-- maybe sometimes i should quit,

You know, it's like-- maybe sometimes i should quit, [chuckling]
00:14:31.961 --> 00:14:32.561
Maybe sometimes i should quit, [chuckling] i don't know.

One says, "i thought i'd messed up too much to start over,

>> ginger: and, you know, that's-- i know there are many
00:15:30.686 --> 00:15:31.387
You know, that's-- i know there are many people whose marriages

I know there are many people whose marriages haven't worked.
00:15:32.755 --> 00:15:33.422
People whose marriages haven't worked. and of course,
00:15:33.489 --> 00:15:34.356
Haven't worked. and of course, god can do anything.
00:15:34.423 --> 00:15:36.892
And of course, god can do anything. there are also other people
00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:37.960
God can do anything. there are also other people involved in a marriage
00:15:38.027 --> 00:15:38.927
There are also other people involved in a marriage and the choices that
00:15:38.994 --> 00:15:39.828
Involved in a marriage and the choices that have to come.
00:15:39.895 --> 00:15:40.496
And the choices that have to come. and so, you know,
00:15:40.562 --> 00:15:41.764
Have to come. and so, you know, there are times,
00:15:41.830 --> 00:15:42.231
And so, you know, there are times, that sometimes,
00:15:42.297 --> 00:15:43.098
There are times, that sometimes, we don't know what
00:15:43.165 --> 00:15:44.633
That sometimes, we don't know what god wants to do.
00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:45.501
We don't know what god wants to do. and i think that's an area
00:15:45.567 --> 00:15:47.403
God wants to do. and i think that's an area where it's easy to say,
00:15:47.469 --> 00:15:48.937
And i think that's an area where it's easy to say, but "what if?
00:15:49.004 --> 00:15:51.006
Where it's easy to say, but "what if? what if god isn't
00:15:51.073 --> 00:15:52.508
But "what if? what if god isn't going to do this?"
00:15:52.574 --> 00:15:54.076
What if god isn't going to do this?" how do you help
00:15:54.143 --> 00:15:54.777
Going to do this?" how do you help people deal with that?
00:15:54.843 --> 00:15:55.677
How do you help people deal with that? when it comes to healing,
00:15:55.744 --> 00:15:56.545
People deal with that? when it comes to healing, there is no what if, is there?
00:15:56.612 --> 00:15:58.313
When it comes to healing, there is no what if, is there? >> joyce: well, if there's
00:15:58.380 --> 00:15:59.081
There is no what if, is there? >> joyce: well, if there's a promise in god's word,
00:15:59.148 --> 00:16:01.683
>> joyce: well, if there's a promise in god's word, you can stand strong for that.
00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:03.118
A promise in god's word, you can stand strong for that. >> ginger: yeah.
00:16:03.185 --> 00:16:03.752
You can stand strong for that. >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: i like her question,
00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:05.020
>> ginger: yeah. >> erin: i like her question, the "what if" part of it,
00:16:05.087 --> 00:16:06.288
>> erin: i like her question, the "what if" part of it, because we don't know
00:16:06.355 --> 00:16:07.856
The "what if" part of it, because we don't know how god's gonna do it.
00:16:07.923 --> 00:16:08.824
Because we don't know how god's gonna do it. we don't know when
00:16:08.891 --> 00:16:09.691
How god's gonna do it. we don't know when that's gonna happen.
00:16:09.758 --> 00:16:10.325
We don't know when that's gonna happen. and i was thinking--
00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:12.828
That's gonna happen. and i was thinking-- you'll remember when
00:16:12.895 --> 00:16:13.662
And i was thinking-- you'll remember when i walked through this, too,
00:16:13.729 --> 00:16:14.396
You'll remember when i walked through this, too, when mike and i were going
00:16:14.463 --> 00:16:15.264
I walked through this, too, when mike and i were going through stuff years ago
00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:16.265
When mike and i were going through stuff years ago because of when he admitted
00:16:16.331 --> 00:16:18.033
Through stuff years ago because of when he admitted to pornography addiction.
00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:20.102
Because of when he admitted to pornography addiction. i remember a very pivotal
00:16:20.169 --> 00:16:21.737
To pornography addiction. i remember a very pivotal point where god said,
00:16:21.804 --> 00:16:22.971
I remember a very pivotal point where god said, "you have to make a decision.
00:16:23.038 --> 00:16:24.907
Point where god said, "you have to make a decision. and you have to either, yes,
00:16:24.973 --> 00:16:26.975
"you have to make a decision. and you have to either, yes, you're gonna stick this
00:16:27.042 --> 00:16:27.743
And you have to either, yes, you're gonna stick this out and you guys are gonna
00:16:27.810 --> 00:16:28.610
You're gonna stick this out and you guys are gonna work through this,
00:16:28.677 --> 00:16:29.478
Out and you guys are gonna work through this, or no.
00:16:29.545 --> 00:16:30.145
Work through this, or no. but you can't keep wavering,"
00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:31.647
Or no. but you can't keep wavering," because i felt like
00:16:31.713 --> 00:16:32.848
But you can't keep wavering," because i felt like i held the power.
00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.083
Because i felt like i held the power. so, i could determine
00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:36.018
I held the power. so, i could determine if i was gonna stay or leave.
00:16:36.085 --> 00:16:37.119
So, i could determine if i was gonna stay or leave. and so, i remember him,
00:16:37.186 --> 00:16:39.455
If i was gonna stay or leave. and so, i remember him, the holy spirit,
00:16:39.521 --> 00:16:40.055
And so, i remember him, the holy spirit, making that really clear.
00:16:40.122 --> 00:16:40.689
The holy spirit, making that really clear. "you need to decide what
00:16:40.756 --> 00:16:41.423
Making that really clear. "you need to decide what you're going to do."
00:16:41.490 --> 00:16:42.091
"you need to decide what you're going to do." and i remember having
00:16:42.157 --> 00:16:43.692
You're going to do." and i remember having those thoughts like,
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.726
And i remember having those thoughts like, "what if he does it again?
00:16:44.793 --> 00:16:46.495
Those thoughts like, "what if he does it again? what if there's someone
00:16:46.562 --> 00:16:47.729
"what if he does it again? what if there's someone better who will never,
00:16:47.796 --> 00:16:48.630
What if there's someone better who will never, ever hurt me?
00:16:48.697 --> 00:16:49.364
Better who will never, ever hurt me? what if--"
00:16:49.431 --> 00:16:50.666
Ever hurt me? what if--" isn't that silly?
00:16:50.732 --> 00:16:51.233
What if--" isn't that silly? >> joyce: there's no person
00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:52.000
Isn't that silly? >> joyce: there's no person like that.
00:16:52.067 --> 00:16:52.935
>> erin: "what if i find
00:16:53.469 --> 00:16:54.269
>> erin: "what if i find the perfect man out there
00:16:54.336 --> 00:16:55.037
>> erin: "what if i find the perfect man out there who has no human faults?"
00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:56.472
The perfect man out there who has no human faults?" >> joyce: yeah.
00:16:56.538 --> 00:16:57.539
Who has no human faults?" >> joyce: yeah. >> erin: "what if it isn't--
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:58.974
>> joyce: yeah. >> erin: "what if it isn't-- what if it never gets better?"
00:16:59.041 --> 00:17:00.275
>> erin: "what if it isn't-- what if it never gets better?" >> ginger: yeah.
00:17:00.342 --> 00:17:00.909
What if it never gets better?" >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: and so, i just--
00:17:00.976 --> 00:17:01.877
>> ginger: yeah. >> erin: and so, i just-- i had to trust the holy spirit
00:17:01.944 --> 00:17:03.579
>> erin: and so, i just-- i had to trust the holy spirit and the things in his word
00:17:03.645 --> 00:17:04.913
I had to trust the holy spirit and the things in his word that he tells us.
00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.781
And the things in his word that he tells us. "i know who i am in christ.
00:17:05.848 --> 00:17:07.616
That he tells us. "i know who i am in christ. i know who he's made mike to be.
00:17:07.683 --> 00:17:08.951
"i know who i am in christ. i know who he's made mike to be. and i'm just going to have
00:17:09.017 --> 00:17:10.252
I know who he's made mike to be. and i'm just going to have to trust that he'll work
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.687
And i'm just going to have to trust that he'll work it out from here."
00:17:11.753 --> 00:17:12.488
To trust that he'll work it out from here." but that was a really
00:17:12.554 --> 00:17:13.522
It out from here." but that was a really important decision that
00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:14.656
But that was a really important decision that i made to be determined.
00:17:14.723 --> 00:17:16.458
Important decision that i made to be determined. i'm going to say,
00:17:16.525 --> 00:17:17.092
I made to be determined. i'm going to say, "yes, and i'm not
00:17:17.159 --> 00:17:17.793
I'm going to say, "yes, and i'm not gonna look back."
00:17:17.860 --> 00:17:18.727
"yes, and i'm not gonna look back." >> ginger: yeah.
00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:19.361
Gonna look back." >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: no matter what if.
00:17:19.428 --> 00:17:20.262
>> ginger: yeah. >> erin: no matter what if. >> ginger: it's not
00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:20.896
>> erin: no matter what if. >> ginger: it's not an easy one either.
00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:21.497
>> ginger: it's not an easy one either. >> erin: no, it was
00:17:21.563 --> 00:17:22.231
An easy one either. >> erin: no, it was very painful.
00:17:22.297 --> 00:17:22.831
It was very hard.
00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:23.499
It was very hard. so, i would have
00:17:23.565 --> 00:17:24.066
It was very hard. so, i would have to redirect my brain
00:17:24.133 --> 00:17:24.666
So, i would have to redirect my brain when it would try to think.
00:17:24.733 --> 00:17:25.534
To redirect my brain when it would try to think. >> joyce: you're always
00:17:25.601 --> 00:17:26.502
When it would try to think. >> joyce: you're always better off to do everything
00:17:26.568 --> 00:17:27.970
>> joyce: you're always better off to do everything you can to make it work
00:17:28.036 --> 00:17:30.873
Better off to do everything you can to make it work out before you give up.
00:17:30.939 --> 00:17:32.808
You can to make it work out before you give up. because at least then,
00:17:32.875 --> 00:17:34.009
Out before you give up. because at least then, you know, i did everything
00:17:34.076 --> 00:17:35.010
Because at least then, you know, i did everything i could possibly do.
00:17:35.077 --> 00:17:35.844
You know, i did everything i could possibly do. >> [ladies agreeing]
00:17:35.911 --> 00:17:36.712
I could possibly do. >> [ladies agreeing] >> erin: yeah, because you won't
00:17:36.778 --> 00:17:37.813
>> [ladies agreeing] >> erin: yeah, because you won't regret what you didn't do.
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.580
>> erin: yeah, because you won't regret what you didn't do. >> joyce: you won't regret
00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:39.414
Regret what you didn't do. >> joyce: you won't regret the fact later that, you know,
00:17:39.481 --> 00:17:42.684
>> joyce: you won't regret the fact later that, you know, "i just wigged out
00:17:42.751 --> 00:17:44.753
The fact later that, you know, "i just wigged out and didn't even try."
00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:46.788
"i just wigged out and didn't even try." >> ginger: here's a question
00:17:46.855 --> 00:17:47.523
And didn't even try." >> ginger: here's a question from someone that
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:48.590
>> ginger: here's a question from someone that i think is a good question,
00:17:48.657 --> 00:17:50.659
From someone that i think is a good question, talking about emotional pain.
00:17:50.726 --> 00:17:53.328
I think is a good question, talking about emotional pain. "how can i stay hopeful
00:17:53.395 --> 00:17:54.830
Talking about emotional pain. "how can i stay hopeful and prayerful when my pain
00:17:54.897 --> 00:17:57.065
"how can i stay hopeful and prayerful when my pain seems to return the next day?"
00:17:57.132 --> 00:17:59.334
And prayerful when my pain seems to return the next day?" >> erin: oh, good question.
00:17:59.401 --> 00:18:01.003
Seems to return the next day?" >> erin: oh, good question. >> ginger: i mean,
00:18:01.069 --> 00:18:01.603
>> erin: oh, good question. >> ginger: i mean, you have a good day.
00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:02.337
>> ginger: i mean, you have a good day. >> joyce: why are you both
00:18:02.404 --> 00:18:03.238
You have a good day. >> joyce: why are you both looking at me?
00:18:03.305 --> 00:18:03.705
>> joyce: why are you both looking at me? >> [ladies laughing]
00:18:03.772 --> 00:18:04.239
Looking at me? >> [ladies laughing] >> erin: because i wanna
00:18:04.306 --> 00:18:04.973
>> [ladies laughing] >> erin: because i wanna know the answer.
00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:05.641
>> erin: because i wanna know the answer. >> ginger: but the next day
00:18:05.707 --> 00:18:06.975
Know the answer. >> ginger: but the next day you have to do it again.
00:18:07.042 --> 00:18:08.911
>> ginger: but the next day you have to do it again. >> joyce: well,
00:18:08.977 --> 00:18:09.545
You have to do it again. >> joyce: well, what do you say, ginger?
00:18:09.611 --> 00:18:10.779
>> joyce: well, what do you say, ginger? >> ginger: huh,
00:18:10.846 --> 00:18:11.413
What do you say, ginger? >> ginger: huh, that is such a hard thing.
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.614
>> ginger: huh, that is such a hard thing. and that does come down
00:18:12.681 --> 00:18:14.116
That is such a hard thing. and that does come down to that determination that
00:18:14.183 --> 00:18:17.786
And that does come down to that determination that god is bigger than i know.
00:18:17.853 --> 00:18:20.455
To that determination that god is bigger than i know. god is such a god of love.
00:18:20.522 --> 00:18:24.193
God is bigger than i know. god is such a god of love. and even though i'm hurting,
00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:27.029
God is such a god of love. and even though i'm hurting, he is hurting with me.
00:18:27.095 --> 00:18:29.531
And even though i'm hurting, he is hurting with me. and that helps me so much.
00:18:29.598 --> 00:18:31.166
He is hurting with me. and that helps me so much. it's not like he's saying,
00:18:31.233 --> 00:18:32.801
And that helps me so much. it's not like he's saying, "i'll get around to it,
00:18:32.868 --> 00:18:33.635
It's not like he's saying, "i'll get around to it, if i get around to it."
00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:34.570
"i'll get around to it, if i get around to it." he's like, "no, child, my heart
00:18:34.636 --> 00:18:37.272
If i get around to it." he's like, "no, child, my heart is breaking with yours,
00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.273
He's like, "no, child, my heart is breaking with yours, and i'm so sorry
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:39.341
Is breaking with yours, and i'm so sorry that you're hurting.
00:18:39.408 --> 00:18:40.042
And i'm so sorry that you're hurting. but i can work good
00:18:40.108 --> 00:18:43.178
That you're hurting. but i can work good through even this."
00:18:43.245 --> 00:18:44.680
But i can work good through even this." and so, yeah, sometimes
00:18:44.746 --> 00:18:46.882
Through even this." and so, yeah, sometimes the next day you feel like
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:48.517
And so, yeah, sometimes the next day you feel like you took two steps backwards
00:18:48.584 --> 00:18:50.586
The next day you feel like you took two steps backwards and you have to start again.
00:18:50.652 --> 00:18:51.820
You took two steps backwards and you have to start again. and other days you feel
00:18:51.887 --> 00:18:53.255
And you have to start again. and other days you feel like you make progress.
00:18:53.322 --> 00:18:55.090
And other days you feel like you make progress. because that's how
00:18:55.157 --> 00:18:56.158
Like you make progress. because that's how healing happens.
00:18:56.225 --> 00:18:57.159
Because that's how healing happens. it doesn't always
00:18:57.226 --> 00:18:58.927
Healing happens. it doesn't always work in a linear path.
00:18:58.994 --> 00:19:00.295
It doesn't always work in a linear path. it's not straightforward.
00:19:00.362 --> 00:19:00.929
Work in a linear path. it's not straightforward. >> joyce: god delivers
00:19:00.996 --> 00:19:01.597
It's not straightforward. >> joyce: god delivers us little by little,
00:19:01.663 --> 00:19:02.931
>> joyce: god delivers us little by little, the bible says.
00:19:02.998 --> 00:19:03.865
Us little by little, the bible says. and i'm not a fan of little.
00:19:03.932 --> 00:19:06.134
The bible says. and i'm not a fan of little. >> ginger: no, me either.
00:19:06.201 --> 00:19:07.202
And i'm not a fan of little. >> ginger: no, me either. >> erin: so long.
00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:07.836
>> ginger: no, me either. >> erin: so long. >> joyce: i like big, now.
00:19:07.903 --> 00:19:10.439
>> erin: so long. >> joyce: i like big, now. >> [ladies agreeing]
00:19:10.505 --> 00:19:11.073
>> joyce: i like big, now. >> [ladies agreeing] >> joyce: you know,
00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:11.740
>> [ladies agreeing] >> joyce: you know, i think about me and dave.
00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:13.976
>> joyce: you know, i think about me and dave. and dave was born again,
00:19:14.042 --> 00:19:16.511
I think about me and dave. and dave was born again, spirit-filled man,
00:19:16.578 --> 00:19:17.479
And dave was born again, spirit-filled man, knew the word,
00:19:17.546 --> 00:19:18.146
Spirit-filled man, knew the word, and had quite an experience
00:19:18.213 --> 00:19:19.381
Knew the word, and had quite an experience with god.
00:19:19.448 --> 00:19:20.048
And had quite an experience with god. and when he prayed--
00:19:20.115 --> 00:19:22.417
With god. and when he prayed-- he was ready to get married.
00:19:22.484 --> 00:19:23.352
And when he prayed-- he was ready to get married. and when he prayed for a wife,
00:19:23.418 --> 00:19:25.821
He was ready to get married. and when he prayed for a wife, he prayed that god would give
00:19:25.887 --> 00:19:28.056
And when he prayed for a wife, he prayed that god would give him somebody that needed help.
00:19:28.123 --> 00:19:30.626
He prayed that god would give him somebody that needed help. now, i bet you that there might
00:19:30.692 --> 00:19:32.861
Him somebody that needed help. now, i bet you that there might be nobody else listening...
00:19:32.928 --> 00:19:33.996
Now, i bet you that there might be nobody else listening... >> ginger: not your
00:19:34.062 --> 00:19:34.663
Be nobody else listening... >> ginger: not your average prayer.
00:19:34.730 --> 00:19:35.297
>> ginger: not your average prayer. >> joyce: that's prayed that
00:19:35.364 --> 00:19:36.064
Average prayer. >> joyce: that's prayed that prayer because we normally
00:19:36.131 --> 00:19:37.332
>> joyce: that's prayed that prayer because we normally pray that we get the "perfect,
00:19:37.399 --> 00:19:38.667
Prayer because we normally pray that we get the "perfect, spiritual giant, good-looking,
00:19:38.734 --> 00:19:41.436
Pray that we get the "perfect, spiritual giant, good-looking, and maybe throw in a little
00:19:41.503 --> 00:19:43.071
Spiritual giant, good-looking, and maybe throw in a little money, god," and you know,
00:19:43.138 --> 00:19:44.539
And maybe throw in a little money, god," and you know, all that.
00:19:44.606 --> 00:19:45.741
Money, god," and you know, all that. but dave, and i know for a fact,
00:19:45.807 --> 00:19:51.513
All that. but dave, and i know for a fact, that we were meant
00:19:51.580 --> 00:19:52.381
But dave, and i know for a fact, that we were meant to be together because nobody
00:19:52.447 --> 00:19:56.218
That we were meant to be together because nobody could have handled me but dave,
00:19:56.285 --> 00:19:58.620
To be together because nobody could have handled me but dave, and stayed happy.
00:19:58.687 --> 00:19:59.755
Could have handled me but dave, and stayed happy. and he did.
00:19:59.821 --> 00:20:01.990
And stayed happy. and he did. and it took a while.
00:20:02.057 --> 00:20:03.392
And he did. and it took a while. so, to our viewers,
00:20:03.458 --> 00:20:07.296
And it took a while. so, to our viewers, if you're married
00:20:07.362 --> 00:20:09.831
So, to our viewers, if you're married to someone who you just--
00:20:09.898 --> 00:20:13.635
If you're married to someone who you just-- you've prayed and you've prayed
00:20:13.702 --> 00:20:15.103
To someone who you just-- you've prayed and you've prayed and you've done everything
00:20:15.170 --> 00:20:16.104
You've prayed and you've prayed and you've done everything you can and they're
00:20:16.171 --> 00:20:16.872
And you've done everything you can and they're just not changing--
00:20:16.938 --> 00:20:17.873
You can and they're just not changing-- dave just basically made
00:20:17.939 --> 00:20:21.143
Just not changing-- dave just basically made the decision that divorce
00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:22.277
Dave just basically made the decision that divorce wasn't an option.
00:20:22.344 --> 00:20:23.645
The decision that divorce wasn't an option. he was just like,
00:20:23.712 --> 00:20:25.080
Wasn't an option. he was just like, "i'm gonna live my life
00:20:25.147 --> 00:20:26.181
He was just like, "i'm gonna live my life and i'm gonna be happy.
00:20:26.248 --> 00:20:27.149
"i'm gonna live my life and i'm gonna be happy. and if you wanna be miserable,
00:20:27.215 --> 00:20:28.150
And i'm gonna be happy. and if you wanna be miserable, that's up to you.
00:20:28.216 --> 00:20:30.252
And if you wanna be miserable, that's up to you. but i'm gonna be happy."
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.053
That's up to you. but i'm gonna be happy." and instead of trying
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.388
But i'm gonna be happy." and instead of trying to change me,
00:20:33.455 --> 00:20:36.858
And instead of trying to change me, he just went ahead
00:20:36.925 --> 00:20:37.592
To change me, he just went ahead and enjoyed his life,
00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:39.428
He just went ahead and enjoyed his life, which really made me mad,
00:20:39.494 --> 00:20:41.196
And enjoyed his life, which really made me mad, you know.
00:20:41.263 --> 00:20:41.830
Which really made me mad, you know. because when
00:20:41.897 --> 00:20:42.564
You know. because when people are miserable,
00:20:42.631 --> 00:20:44.566
Because when people are miserable, they wanna make other
00:20:44.633 --> 00:20:45.334
People are miserable, they wanna make other people miserable,
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:46.201
They wanna make other people miserable, which sounds ridiculous.
00:20:46.268 --> 00:20:47.302
People miserable, which sounds ridiculous. but it's true;
00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:47.969
Which sounds ridiculous. but it's true; you don't want somebody
00:20:48.036 --> 00:20:49.237
But it's true; you don't want somebody to be happy around you.
00:20:49.304 --> 00:20:50.605
You don't want somebody to be happy around you. and see, he waited long enough
00:20:50.672 --> 00:20:55.143
To be happy around you. and see, he waited long enough and prayed long enough,
00:20:55.210 --> 00:20:57.346
And see, he waited long enough and prayed long enough, and then i started realizing
00:20:57.412 --> 00:21:01.249
And prayed long enough, and then i started realizing that i was the problem
00:21:01.316 --> 00:21:02.384
And then i started realizing that i was the problem not everybody else.
00:21:02.451 --> 00:21:04.019
That i was the problem not everybody else. and it's taken years,
00:21:04.086 --> 00:21:06.488
Not everybody else. and it's taken years, but i got a little
00:21:06.555 --> 00:21:07.856
And it's taken years, but i got a little better all the time,
00:21:07.923 --> 00:21:08.657
But i got a little better all the time, a little better all the time,
00:21:08.724 --> 00:21:09.791
Better all the time, a little better all the time, a little better all the time.
00:21:09.858 --> 00:21:11.326
A little better all the time, a little better all the time. and now, i think dave
00:21:11.393 --> 00:21:12.327
A little better all the time. and now, i think dave just has such a great wife
00:21:12.394 --> 00:21:13.829
And now, i think dave just has such a great wife i am so glad that
00:21:13.895 --> 00:21:15.063
Just has such a great wife i am so glad that he waited on me.
00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:15.697
I am so glad that he waited on me. >> [ginger chuckling]
00:21:15.764 --> 00:21:16.365
He waited on me. >> [ginger chuckling] >> erin: he does
00:21:16.431 --> 00:21:16.998
>> [ginger chuckling] >> erin: he does have a great wife.
00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:17.632
>> erin: he does have a great wife. >> joyce: but, i mean,
00:21:17.699 --> 00:21:18.867
Have a great wife. >> joyce: but, i mean, look at our lives now
00:21:18.934 --> 00:21:20.402
>> joyce: but, i mean, look at our lives now and what we would
00:21:20.469 --> 00:21:21.002
Look at our lives now and what we would have missed if he would
00:21:21.069 --> 00:21:21.770

He could to mess it up. and i needed somebody that would stick with
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:32.514
And i needed somebody that would stick with me through the ugly times.
00:21:32.581 --> 00:21:34.449
That would stick with me through the ugly times. and there's not a lot
00:21:34.516 --> 00:21:35.283
Me through the ugly times. and there's not a lot of people willing to do that.
00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:36.718
And there's not a lot of people willing to do that. >> ginger: no,
00:21:36.785 --> 00:21:37.352

00:21:56.972 --> 00:21:58.373
While you're waiting for this person to change?" jesus bore our pain.
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.143
For this person to change?" jesus bore our pain. and sometimes,
00:22:01.209 --> 00:22:02.043

Right before you talk about the armor of god, but it tells you

That third day too, even if it doesn't look like it's changing.
