And found out it wasn't. somehow, that made an impact on you and you made
00:01:48.731 --> 00:01:50.066
Somehow, that made an impact on you and you made some not-so-good decisions.
00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:51.834
Rob: yeah. when i was
00:01:53.436 --> 00:01:54.404
Rob: yeah. when i was in kindergarten, i found out
00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:55.572
In kindergarten, i found out that my dad wasn't
00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:56.739
That my dad wasn't my biological father.
00:01:56.806 --> 00:01:57.807
My biological father. i came home with a diploma
00:01:57.874 --> 00:01:58.942
I came home with a diploma from kindergarten, and
00:01:59.008 --> 00:02:00.143
My parents sat me down
00:02:02.512 --> 00:02:03.613
My parents sat me down to tell me that he wasn't
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:04.948
My parents sat me down to tell me that he wasn't my real dad.
00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:06.182
To tell me that he wasn't my real dad. so, he wasn't my real dad,
00:02:06.249 --> 00:02:07.450
My real dad. so, he wasn't my real dad, and my sister wasn't
00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:08.651
So, he wasn't my real dad, and my sister wasn't my full-blooded sister.
00:02:08.718 --> 00:02:10.220
And my sister wasn't my full-blooded sister. and then i started
00:02:10.286 --> 00:02:11.487
My full-blooded sister. and then i started asking questions like,
00:02:11.554 --> 00:02:12.689
And then i started asking questions like, well, who's my real dad
00:02:12.755 --> 00:02:13.856
Asking questions like, well, who's my real dad and where is he?
00:02:13.923 --> 00:02:15.091
Well, who's my real dad and where is he? i truly believe that
00:02:15.158 --> 00:02:16.226
And where is he? i truly believe that that just started sending me
00:02:16.292 --> 00:02:17.560
I truly believe that that just started sending me down a path of destruction
00:02:17.627 --> 00:02:20.129
That just started sending me down a path of destruction based on the neglect
00:02:20.196 --> 00:02:21.431
Down a path of destruction based on the neglect and abandonment that
00:02:21.497 --> 00:02:22.632
Based on the neglect and abandonment that i was feeling from
00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:23.866
And abandonment that i was feeling from that conversation.
00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:25.235
I was feeling from that conversation. james: so did the full impact
00:02:25.301 --> 00:02:26.703
That conversation. james: so did the full impact of the negative aspect
00:02:26.769 --> 00:02:28.238
James: so did the full impact of the negative aspect of that hit you
00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:29.305
Of the negative aspect of that hit you when you were like
00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:30.306
Of that hit you when you were like in your teens and you began
00:02:30.373 --> 00:02:31.407
When you were like in your teens and you began to make bad decisions?
00:02:31.474 --> 00:02:32.809
In your teens and you began to make bad decisions? rob: well, i think a lot
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.943
To make bad decisions? rob: well, i think a lot of things compounded on that.
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:35.011
Rob: well, i think a lot of things compounded on that. i got into pornography
00:02:35.078 --> 00:02:36.079
Of things compounded on that. i got into pornography when i was very, very young.
00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:37.280
I got into pornography when i was very, very young. i was molested when i was
00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:38.448
When i was very, very young. i was molested when i was eight years old
00:02:38.514 --> 00:02:39.515
I was molested when i was eight years old by a neighborhood kid.
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:40.583
Eight years old by a neighborhood kid. james: by the way,
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:41.651
By a neighborhood kid. james: by the way, i want to say, i think
00:02:41.718 --> 00:02:42.852
James: by the way, i want to say, i think that's probably one of
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:43.920
I want to say, i think that's probably one of the most damaging things
00:02:43.987 --> 00:02:44.988
That's probably one of the most damaging things in the whole world.
00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:46.055
The most damaging things in the whole world. i don't think people
00:02:46.122 --> 00:02:47.156
In the whole world. i don't think people with natural appetites
00:02:47.223 --> 00:02:48.258
I don't think people with natural appetites and then we get attracted
00:02:48.324 --> 00:02:49.459
With natural appetites and then we get attracted to the fabulous beauty
00:02:49.525 --> 00:02:50.560
And then we get attracted to the fabulous beauty that's there
00:02:50.627 --> 00:02:51.628
To the fabulous beauty that's there and what god did.
00:02:51.694 --> 00:02:52.795
That's there and what god did. but i believe it hits
00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:54.097
And what god did. but i believe it hits so deeply and i believe
00:02:54.163 --> 00:02:55.398
But i believe it hits so deeply and i believe it twists.
00:02:55.465 --> 00:02:56.466
So deeply and i believe it twists. would you agree?
00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:57.533
It twists. would you agree? it twists your whole
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:58.601
Would you agree? it twists your whole thought process to where
00:02:58.668 --> 00:02:59.669
It twists your whole thought process to where you can be sowing
00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:00.803
Thought process to where you can be sowing suicidal seeds
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:02.639
You can be sowing suicidal seeds and destructive seeds,
00:03:02.705 --> 00:03:04.073
Suicidal seeds and destructive seeds, or losing your capacity
00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:06.442

And walk straight. do you agree? rob: absolutely 100%.
00:03:10.213 --> 00:03:11.314
Do you agree? rob: absolutely 100%. i think that my mental health

Rob: absolutely 100%. i think that my mental health and my development were
00:03:12.482 --> 00:03:13.683
I think that my mental health and my development were tampered with at
00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:14.884
And my development were tampered with at a very young age,
00:03:14.951 --> 00:03:16.019
Tampered with at a very young age, with being molested, and

00:03:22.725 --> 00:03:23.960
Abuse. following the molestation, i started getting
00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:25.061
Following the molestation, i started getting into pornography that
00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.329
I started getting into pornography that started to ruin my thought
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:27.463
Into pornography that started to ruin my thought process on intimacy.
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.432
Started to ruin my thought process on intimacy. then when i was a teenager,
00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:31.234
Process on intimacy. then when i was a teenager, the first girl that
00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:33.169
Then when i was a teenager, the first girl that i ever really cared about,
00:03:33.236 --> 00:03:34.370
The first girl that i ever really cared about, i watched another man
00:03:34.437 --> 00:03:36.039
I ever really cared about, i watched another man take advantage of her
00:03:36.105 --> 00:03:37.240
I watched another man take advantage of her in front of me.
00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:38.675

Broke both my arms, collapsed my lung; went to the hospital.
00:05:24.046 --> 00:05:26.783
Collapsed my lung; went to the hospital. after a ten-hour surgery,

After a ten-hour surgery, i was arrested in the hospital.
00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:30.253
I was arrested in the hospital. but god showed up.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.554
In the hospital. but god showed up. god showed up
00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:32.722
But god showed up. god showed up in the midst of all that.
00:05:32.789 --> 00:05:33.856
God showed up in the midst of all that. i was highly medicated,
00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:35.425
In the midst of all that. i was highly medicated, and i heard the lord's voice
00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:37.593
I was highly medicated, and i heard the lord's voice loud and clear.
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:39.162
And i heard the lord's voice loud and clear. he said, "the charges
00:05:39.228 --> 00:05:40.430
Loud and clear. he said, "the charges will be dropped,
00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:41.798
He said, "the charges will be dropped, bills will be paid,
00:05:41.864 --> 00:05:42.899
Will be dropped, bills will be paid, and you will walk again."
00:05:42.965 --> 00:05:44.300
Bills will be paid, and you will walk again." and all those things happened.
00:05:44.367 --> 00:05:45.902
And you will walk again." and all those things happened. but i ran back to my old ways
00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:47.503
And all those things happened. but i ran back to my old ways and continued to drink
00:05:47.570 --> 00:05:48.838
But i ran back to my old ways and continued to drink and use because there was
00:05:48.905 --> 00:05:50.239
And continued to drink and use because there was a lot of stuff i wasn't
00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:51.441
And so, my ministry hinges
00:05:52.809 --> 00:05:55.244
And so, my ministry hinges off of being delivered from
00:05:55.311 --> 00:05:56.646
Off of being delivered from drug and alcohol addiction;
00:05:56.712 --> 00:05:58.014
Drug and alcohol addiction; understanding what
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.248
Understanding what it's like to grow up
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:00.416
It's like to grow up without a good relationship
00:06:00.483 --> 00:06:01.617
Without a good relationship with your father,
00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:02.752
Figure around,
00:06:03.953 --> 00:06:05.321
Figure around, just battling my own demons.
00:06:05.388 --> 00:06:06.722
Figure around, just battling my own demons. the suicidal ideations,
00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:08.157
Just battling my own demons. the suicidal ideations, all the time.
00:06:08.224 --> 00:06:09.459
The suicidal ideations, all the time. jumping out of the window
00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:10.626
All the time. jumping out of the window was one thing, but
00:06:10.693 --> 00:06:11.928
Jumping out of the window was one thing, but battling suicide was
00:06:11.994 --> 00:06:13.262
Was one thing, but battling suicide was something that i suffered
00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:14.831
Battling suicide was something that i suffered from my whole life because
00:06:14.897 --> 00:06:16.365
Something that i suffered from my whole life because i didn't feel like i had
00:06:16.432 --> 00:06:17.767
From my whole life because i didn't feel like i had a purpose or a place
00:06:17.834 --> 00:06:19.035
I didn't feel like i had a purpose or a place or anything like that.
00:06:19.101 --> 00:06:20.436
A purpose or a place or anything like that. and so everything that
00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:21.604
Or anything like that. and so everything that i do now in my community
00:06:21.671 --> 00:06:22.805
And so everything that i do now in my community through rise as lions
00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:23.940
I do now in my community through rise as lions and recovery rebel softball
00:06:24.006 --> 00:06:25.775
Through rise as lions and recovery rebel softball is trying to create

And recovery rebel softball is trying to create that space for people
00:06:26.909 --> 00:06:28.110
Is trying to create that space for people to be able to share
00:06:28.177 --> 00:06:29.278
That space for people to be able to share the harder topics in life.
00:06:29.345 --> 00:06:32.014
To be able to share the harder topics in life. a lot of us men are
00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:33.382
The harder topics in life. a lot of us men are not taught to share

A lot of us men are not taught to share and express our feelings.
00:06:34.951 --> 00:06:36.352

To create that, and let men feel safe so that they can start their own
00:06:40.122 --> 00:06:41.190
Feel safe so that they can start their own healing journey.

It's about resurrection and restoration. so, it was a play off
00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:54.237

Folks are struggling with addiction or suicidal ideation, people just
00:07:14.724 --> 00:07:16.058
With addiction or suicidal ideation, people just send them my way.

For everybody. it's not just drug and alcohol abuse.
00:07:39.215 --> 00:07:40.349
It's not just drug and alcohol abuse. drug and alcohol abuse
00:07:40.416 --> 00:07:41.417
And alcohol abuse. drug and alcohol abuse tends to be
00:07:41.484 --> 00:07:43.252
Drug and alcohol abuse tends to be the self-medicator.
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.588
Tends to be the self-medicator. it's usually the brokenness,
00:07:45.655 --> 00:07:47.056
The self-medicator. it's usually the brokenness, the neglect, the abandonment,
00:07:47.123 --> 00:07:49.125
It's usually the brokenness, the neglect, the abandonment, the trauma, whatever it is
00:07:49.191 --> 00:07:50.560
The neglect, the abandonment, the trauma, whatever it is that a lot of us
00:07:50.626 --> 00:07:51.727
The trauma, whatever it is that a lot of us haven't addressed.

Rob: the holy spirit! i will say this. i was very blessed to have
00:08:09.612 --> 00:08:10.880
I will say this. i was very blessed to have people on my journey
00:08:10.947 --> 00:08:12.214
I was very blessed to have people on my journey who cared enough about me
00:08:12.281 --> 00:08:13.449
People on my journey who cared enough about me to bring me to their home,
00:08:13.516 --> 00:08:14.584
Who cared enough about me to bring me to their home, to love on me,
00:08:14.650 --> 00:08:15.618
To bring me to their home, to love on me, to take care of me,
00:08:15.685 --> 00:08:16.786
To love on me, to take care of me, especially after i broke
00:08:16.852 --> 00:08:17.853
To take care of me, especially after i broke my back but it was a journey.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.456
Especially after i broke my back but it was a journey. it was a journey for me.
00:08:20.523 --> 00:08:21.591
My back but it was a journey. it was a journey for me. i had to walk it out
00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:22.725
It was a journey for me. i had to walk it out with the lord myself.
00:08:22.792 --> 00:08:23.793
I had to walk it out with the lord myself. i had to make a lot
00:08:23.859 --> 00:08:24.927
With the lord myself. i had to make a lot of mistakes.
00:08:24.994 --> 00:08:25.995
I had to make a lot of mistakes. i think for me, i became
00:08:26.062 --> 00:08:27.263
Of mistakes. i think for me, i became a survivalist.
00:08:27.330 --> 00:08:29.098
I think for me, i became a survivalist. i didn't know how to thrive.
00:08:29.165 --> 00:08:30.733
A survivalist. i didn't know how to thrive. so, a lot of times when
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.001
I didn't know how to thrive. so, a lot of times when life got hard, i reverted
00:08:32.068 --> 00:08:33.803
So, a lot of times when life got hard, i reverted to old behaviors where
00:08:33.869 --> 00:08:35.805
Life got hard, i reverted to old behaviors where i wasn't trusting in god,
00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:37.073
To old behaviors where i wasn't trusting in god, i was trusting
00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:38.174
I wasn't trusting in god, i was trusting in what i knew.
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.109
I was trusting in what i knew. god just walked it all out
00:08:40.176 --> 00:08:41.410
In what i knew. god just walked it all out with me.
00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:42.445
God just walked it all out with me. but i had a great group
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:43.713
With me. but i had a great group of individuals that were
00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:44.914
But i had a great group of individuals that were praying over me a lot.
00:08:44.981 --> 00:08:46.782
Of individuals that were praying over me a lot. betty: it is a journey.
00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:49.518
Praying over me a lot. betty: it is a journey. it definitely is that

We're all still on. rob: well, i've been sober for about 12 years now.
00:08:53.489 --> 00:08:54.657
Rob: well, i've been sober for about 12 years now. god delivered me from drug
00:08:54.724 --> 00:08:57.026
For about 12 years now. god delivered me from drug and alcohol abuse
00:08:57.093 --> 00:08:58.260
God delivered me from drug and alcohol abuse just like that.
00:08:58.327 --> 00:08:59.395
And alcohol abuse just like that. through repentance
00:08:59.462 --> 00:09:00.529
Just like that. through repentance and surrender,
00:09:00.596 --> 00:09:01.664
Through repentance and surrender, he took it away from me.
00:09:01.731 --> 00:09:02.798
And surrender, he took it away from me. i believe everyone
00:09:02.865 --> 00:09:03.899
He took it away from me. i believe everyone can have that.
00:09:03.966 --> 00:09:05.034
I believe everyone can have that. so, part of my mission

00:13:42.878 --> 00:13:43.913
James: if somebody got your book and got into god's awning ,
00:13:43.979 --> 00:13:45.047
Got your book and got into god's awning , what do you think
00:13:45.114 --> 00:13:46.215
Into god's awning , what do you think they would see
00:13:46.282 --> 00:13:47.416

Always be through christ. sometimes, what we have to hear as humans
00:13:57.660 --> 00:13:58.794
Sometimes, what we have to hear as humans is that other humans
00:13:58.861 --> 00:13:59.895
To hear as humans is that other humans went through it and made it
00:13:59.962 --> 00:14:01.030
Is that other humans went through it and made it out on the other side.
00:14:01.096 --> 00:14:02.531
Went through it and made it out on the other side. and so, i want people
00:14:02.598 --> 00:14:03.699
And healing in that book
00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:06.235
And healing in that book and draw closer to christ
00:14:06.302 --> 00:14:07.536
And draw closer to christ because of it.

That we haven't been in,
00:14:20.049 --> 00:14:21.216
That we haven't been in, but we see someone who was,

Rob: i just want seeds of hope to be planted in somebody today
00:14:41.103 --> 00:14:43.038
Of hope to be planted in somebody today who is going through

In somebody today who is going through a very tough time mentally,

I want them then to take that and give it to other people. that would be my prayer.
00:14:55.584 --> 00:14:57.086
And give it to other people. that would be my prayer. that's how we can serve
00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:58.253
That would be my prayer. that's how we can serve each other, is to pour
00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:59.555
That's how we can serve each other, is to pour what's been poured into us
00:14:59.621 --> 00:15:00.990
Each other, is to pour what's been poured into us into other people.
00:15:01.056 --> 00:15:02.458

James: how do you want people to see god in some way like you did
00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:06.862
People to see god in some way like you did as an awning?
00:15:06.929 --> 00:15:07.997
In some way like you did as an awning? you say the awning
00:15:08.063 --> 00:15:09.198
As an awning? you say the awning broke your fall
00:15:09.264 --> 00:15:10.499
You say the awning broke your fall to where you weren't killed.
00:15:10.566 --> 00:15:11.800
Broke your fall to where you weren't killed. you were certainly hurt badly.
00:15:11.867 --> 00:15:13.068
To where you weren't killed. you were certainly hurt badly. how do you see people
00:15:13.135 --> 00:15:15.571
You were certainly hurt badly. how do you see people finding an awning
00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:16.805
How do you see people finding an awning in their life?
00:15:16.872 --> 00:15:18.374
Finding an awning in their life? rob: so, awning means
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.009
In their life? rob: so, awning means protection, right?
00:15:20.075 --> 00:15:21.744
Rob: so, awning means protection, right? so, what i realized
00:15:21.810 --> 00:15:23.412
Protection, right? so, what i realized in my process, in coming out
00:15:23.479 --> 00:15:24.813
So, what i realized in my process, in coming out of all of it,
00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:25.881
In my process, in coming out of all of it, and it's all hindsight,
00:15:25.948 --> 00:15:26.949
Of all of it, and it's all hindsight, 20/20 for me,
00:15:27.016 --> 00:15:28.350
And it's all hindsight, 20/20 for me, is that he was always there
00:15:28.417 --> 00:15:29.718
20/20 for me, is that he was always there even in the hard times.
00:15:29.785 --> 00:15:31.987
Is that he was always there even in the hard times. what i appreciate
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:33.322
Even in the hard times. what i appreciate about the trials
00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:34.423
What i appreciate about the trials and tribulations that
00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:35.491
About the trials and tribulations that james speaks about
00:15:35.557 --> 00:15:36.658
And tribulations that james speaks about is finding joy in the trials
00:15:36.725 --> 00:15:37.793
James speaks about is finding joy in the trials and tribulations, because
00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:39.094
Is finding joy in the trials and tribulations, because that's what builds us up.
00:15:39.161 --> 00:15:41.063
And tribulations, because that's what builds us up. that's romans 5:3.
00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:43.832
That's what builds us up. that's romans 5:3. that's what builds character
00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:45.167
That's romans 5:3. that's what builds character in us.
00:15:45.234 --> 00:15:46.535
That's what builds character in us. so, a lot of times
00:15:46.602 --> 00:15:48.203
In us. so, a lot of times we're in a lot of pain,
00:15:48.270 --> 00:15:50.072
So, a lot of times we're in a lot of pain, but a lot of times we can
00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:51.340
We're in a lot of pain, but a lot of times we can use that, build from that
00:15:51.407 --> 00:15:53.208
But a lot of times we can use that, build from that so that we have the ability
00:15:53.275 --> 00:15:54.376
Use that, build from that so that we have the ability to heal and give back
00:15:54.443 --> 00:15:55.477
So that we have the ability to heal and give back to others.
00:15:55.544 --> 00:15:56.645
To heal and give back to others. without those trials
00:15:56.712 --> 00:15:57.713
To others. without those trials and tribulations,
00:15:57.780 --> 00:15:59.615
Without those trials and tribulations, we can't build strength.
00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:01.283
And tribulations, we can't build strength. we're fitness guys, right?
00:16:01.350 --> 00:16:02.351
We can't build strength. we're fitness guys, right? how do we get stronger?
00:16:02.418 --> 00:16:03.585
We're fitness guys, right? how do we get stronger? we go to the gym
00:16:03.652 --> 00:16:04.787
How do we get stronger? we go to the gym and lift weights.
00:16:04.853 --> 00:16:05.854
We go to the gym and lift weights. it doesn't always feel good.
00:16:05.921 --> 00:16:07.089
And lift weights. it doesn't always feel good. we add weight
00:16:07.156 --> 00:16:08.157
It doesn't always feel good. we add weight to get stronger.
00:16:08.223 --> 00:16:09.224
We add weight to get stronger. god does that with us
00:16:09.291 --> 00:16:10.492
To get stronger. god does that with us spiritually as well.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.560
God does that with us spiritually as well. so, some of the stuff
00:16:11.627 --> 00:16:12.795
Spiritually as well. so, some of the stuff that's being poured onto us,
00:16:12.861 --> 00:16:14.063
So, some of the stuff that's being poured onto us, it's because he has
00:16:14.129 --> 00:16:15.130
That's being poured onto us, it's because he has a special plan for us,
00:16:15.197 --> 00:16:16.965
It's because he has a special plan for us, and he wants to use us
00:16:17.032 --> 00:16:18.333
A special plan for us, and he wants to use us in a very powerful way.
00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:20.436
James: you were a beautiful
00:16:20.536 --> 00:16:21.570
James: you were a beautiful little church girl
00:16:21.637 --> 00:16:23.072
James: you were a beautiful little church girl who did everything right
00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:24.339
Little church girl who did everything right and came out of
00:16:24.406 --> 00:16:25.441
Who did everything right and came out of the choir to get saved.
00:16:25.507 --> 00:16:26.742
And came out of the choir to get saved. nobody in the church
00:16:26.809 --> 00:16:27.810
The choir to get saved. nobody in the church could believe it.
00:16:27.876 --> 00:16:28.944
Nobody in the church could believe it. but when you see people
00:16:29.011 --> 00:16:30.179

Our stories, of course. the journey that god carries us on is not
00:16:40.522 --> 00:16:41.723
The journey that god carries us on is not always a smooth journey.
00:16:41.790 --> 00:16:43.025
God carries us on is not always a smooth journey. actually, it probably
00:16:43.092 --> 00:16:44.326
Always a smooth journey. actually, it probably won't be but we have
00:16:44.393 --> 00:16:46.061

He's right there at your back. he's ready to cover you.
00:17:12.855 --> 00:17:14.423
He's ready to cover you. he's ready to walk
00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:15.824
He's ready to walk ahead of you and be
00:17:15.891 --> 00:17:17.192
Ahead of you and be your protection as
00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:18.494
Your protection as the awning was for you, rob.
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.429

All they can do.
00:18:46.081 --> 00:18:47.249

>> i'm susie larson. we live in a day when it seems evil
00:22:11.453 --> 00:22:12.521
We live in a day when it seems evil is winning the day.
00:22:12.587 --> 00:22:13.722
When it seems evil is winning the day. you look around
00:22:13.789 --> 00:22:14.756
Is winning the day. you look around and you notice
00:22:14.823 --> 00:22:15.857
You look around and you notice that even christians
00:22:15.924 --> 00:22:16.958
And you notice that even christians are living lives of reaction.
00:22:17.025 --> 00:22:17.993
We're shaking our fists
00:22:18.093 --> 00:22:19.027
We're shaking our fists at the darkness.
00:22:19.094 --> 00:22:20.061
We're shaking our fists at the darkness. we find ourselves angry
00:22:20.128 --> 00:22:21.196
At the darkness. we find ourselves angry more often
00:22:21.263 --> 00:22:22.197
We find ourselves angry more often than we're hopeful.
00:22:22.264 --> 00:22:23.198
More often than we're hopeful. so what are we to do
00:22:23.265 --> 00:22:24.266
Than we're hopeful. so what are we to do in this day?

So what are we to do in this day? well, i found some answers
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.435
In this day? well, i found some answers in psalm 37.
00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:27.636
Well, i found some answers in psalm 37. in psalm 37 we're reminded
00:22:27.702 --> 00:22:29.471
In psalm 37. in psalm 37 we're reminded not to fret over the wicked
00:22:29.538 --> 00:22:31.406
In psalm 37 we're reminded not to fret over the wicked because there's
00:22:31.473 --> 00:22:32.541
Not to fret over the wicked because there's a clear distinction in heaven
00:22:32.607 --> 00:22:33.642
Because there's a clear distinction in heaven between the wicked
00:22:33.708 --> 00:22:34.943
A clear distinction in heaven between the wicked and those who fear god.
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:36.244
Between the wicked and those who fear god. if we live in reaction
00:22:36.311 --> 00:22:37.546
And those who fear god. if we live in reaction to evil,
00:22:37.612 --> 00:22:38.713
If we live in reaction to evil, it will only harm us
00:22:38.780 --> 00:22:39.848
To evil, it will only harm us and harm others.
00:22:39.915 --> 00:22:40.882
It will only harm us and harm others. but in psalm 37 it says,
00:22:40.949 --> 00:22:42.317
And harm others. but in psalm 37 it says, but you,
00:22:42.384 --> 00:22:43.351
But in psalm 37 it says, but you, you dwell on the land
00:22:43.418 --> 00:22:44.386
But you, you dwell on the land and feed
00:22:44.453 --> 00:22:45.387
You dwell on the land and feed on god's faithfulness.
00:22:45.454 --> 00:22:46.421
And feed on god's faithfulness. you delight in the lord,
00:22:46.488 --> 00:22:47.422
On god's faithfulness. you delight in the lord, and he will give you
00:22:47.489 --> 00:22:48.457
You delight in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
00:22:48.523 --> 00:22:49.458
And he will give you the desires of your heart. you need to know
00:22:49.524 --> 00:22:50.492
The desires of your heart. you need to know that in a little while
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.493
You need to know that in a little while the wicked will be no more.
00:22:51.560 --> 00:22:52.527
That in a little while the wicked will be no more. though you look carefully
00:22:52.594 --> 00:22:53.562
The wicked will be no more. though you look carefully for his place,
00:22:53.628 --> 00:22:54.563
Though you look carefully for his place, he will not be there.
00:22:54.629 --> 00:22:56.031
For his place, he will not be there. the humble
00:22:56.097 --> 00:22:57.132
He will not be there. the humble will inherit the land
00:22:57.199 --> 00:22:58.233
The humble will inherit the land and delight themselves
00:22:58.300 --> 00:22:59.334
Will inherit the land and delight themselves in an abundance of peace.
00:22:59.401 --> 00:23:01.369
And delight themselves in an abundance of peace. when you find yourself tempted
00:23:01.436 --> 00:23:02.604
In an abundance of peace. when you find yourself tempted to shake your fist
00:23:02.671 --> 00:23:03.772
When you find yourself tempted to shake your fist at the darkness,
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:04.973
To shake your fist at the darkness, shine brighter because
00:23:05.040 --> 00:23:06.274
At the darkness, shine brighter because your spiritual flourishing,
00:23:06.341 --> 00:23:08.143
Shine brighter because your spiritual flourishing, when you have a thriving,
00:23:08.210 --> 00:23:09.277
Your spiritual flourishing, when you have a thriving, flourishing walk with god,
00:23:09.344 --> 00:23:11.246
When you have a thriving, flourishing walk with god, it actually strengthens
00:23:11.313 --> 00:23:12.280
Flourishing walk with god, it actually strengthens your community,
00:23:12.347 --> 00:23:13.281
It actually strengthens your community, it actually brings
00:23:13.348 --> 00:23:14.316
Your community, it actually brings a little bit of heaven
00:23:14.382 --> 00:23:15.350
It actually brings a little bit of heaven to earth.
00:23:15.417 --> 00:23:16.451
A little bit of heaven to earth. so i challenge you today:
00:23:16.518 --> 00:23:17.452

But really regulate your inputs, because when the good news

Your inputs, because when the good news upstages the bad news,
00:23:28.230 --> 00:23:29.898
Because when the good news upstages the bad news, suddenly a faith perspective
00:23:29.965 --> 00:23:30.966
Upstages the bad news, suddenly a faith perspective comes once again.
00:23:31.032 --> 00:23:32.367
Suddenly a faith perspective comes once again. so you delight in the lord.
00:23:32.434 --> 00:23:34.135
Comes once again. so you delight in the lord. you feed on his faithfulness.
00:23:34.202 --> 00:23:36.004
So you delight in the lord. you feed on his faithfulness. you commit your way to him,
00:23:36.071 --> 00:23:37.839
You feed on his faithfulness. you commit your way to him, because scripture promises
00:23:37.906 --> 00:23:39.040
You commit your way to him, because scripture promises that soon, and very soon,
00:23:39.107 --> 00:23:40.342
Because scripture promises that soon, and very soon, your righteousness will shine
00:23:40.408 --> 00:23:41.910
That soon, and very soon, your righteousness will shine like the dawn.
00:23:41.977 --> 00:23:43.345
Your righteousness will shine like the dawn. if you jump ahead to malachi,
00:23:43.411 --> 00:23:44.579
Like the dawn. if you jump ahead to malachi, there's a place where
00:23:44.646 --> 00:23:46.414
If you jump ahead to malachi, there's a place where the people are accusing god,
00:23:46.481 --> 00:23:48.183
There's a place where the people are accusing god, and god has said,
00:23:48.250 --> 00:23:49.718
The people are accusing god, and god has said, "you've said terrible things
00:23:49.784 --> 00:23:50.752
And god has said, "you've said terrible things about me."
00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.953
"you've said terrible things about me." and they're like,
00:23:52.020 --> 00:23:53.088
About me." and they're like, "what have we said about you?"
00:23:53.154 --> 00:23:54.122
And they're like, "what have we said about you?" and they were so clueless
00:23:54.189 --> 00:23:55.190
"what have we said about you?" and they were so clueless to their own
00:23:55.257 --> 00:23:56.224
And they were so clueless to their own spiritual condition
00:23:56.291 --> 00:23:57.325
To their own spiritual condition that they dared
00:23:57.392 --> 00:23:58.360
Spiritual condition that they dared to go back and forth with god
00:23:58.426 --> 00:23:59.494
That they dared to go back and forth with god in such a dishonorable way.
00:23:59.561 --> 00:24:00.562
To go back and forth with god in such a dishonorable way. and he said, "you are saying,
00:24:00.629 --> 00:24:01.696
In such a dishonorable way. and he said, "you are saying, 'what's the use
00:24:01.763 --> 00:24:02.764
And he said, "you are saying, 'what's the use in obeying god?
00:24:02.831 --> 00:24:03.832
'what's the use in obeying god? the wicked are the ones
00:24:03.899 --> 00:24:04.933
In obeying god? the wicked are the ones who get away
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.034
The wicked are the ones who get away with everything.'"
00:24:06.101 --> 00:24:07.102
Who get away with everything.'" you know, we call the arrogant
00:24:07.168 --> 00:24:08.169
With everything.'" you know, we call the arrogant "blessed."
00:24:08.236 --> 00:24:09.204
You know, we call the arrogant "blessed." i mean they've doubled down
00:24:09.271 --> 00:24:10.272
"blessed." i mean they've doubled down even in their attitude.
00:24:10.338 --> 00:24:11.339
I mean they've doubled down even in their attitude. but then you jump ahead
00:24:11.406 --> 00:24:12.407
Even in their attitude. but then you jump ahead and it says, "but then,
00:24:12.474 --> 00:24:13.408
But then you jump ahead and it says, "but then, those who loved
00:24:13.475 --> 00:24:14.442
And it says, "but then, those who loved and feared the lord,
00:24:14.509 --> 00:24:15.477
Those who loved and feared the lord, they spoke with one another
00:24:15.544 --> 00:24:16.511
And feared the lord, they spoke with one another and the lord listened.
00:24:16.578 --> 00:24:17.546
They spoke with one another and the lord listened. and a book was opened
00:24:17.612 --> 00:24:18.647
And the lord listened. and a book was opened of remembrance."
00:24:18.713 --> 00:24:20.715
And a book was opened of remembrance." if you read that passage,
00:24:20.782 --> 00:24:21.816
Of remembrance." if you read that passage, it is so powerful
00:24:21.883 --> 00:24:22.851
If you read that passage, it is so powerful because it says, once again,
00:24:22.918 --> 00:24:24.786
It is so powerful because it says, once again, you will see the distinction
00:24:24.853 --> 00:24:26.087
Because it says, once again, you will see the distinction between those who love god
00:24:26.154 --> 00:24:27.289
You will see the distinction between those who love god and those who don't.
00:24:27.355 --> 00:24:28.456
Between those who love god and those who don't. i say all that to say,
00:24:28.523 --> 00:24:30.458
And those who don't. i say all that to say, on earth,
00:24:30.525 --> 00:24:31.626
I say all that to say, on earth, even amongst christians,
00:24:31.693 --> 00:24:32.694
Are getting blurred.
00:24:33.828 --> 00:24:34.863
Are getting blurred. barna did a report
00:24:34.930 --> 00:24:35.997
Barna did a report a number of years ago
00:24:36.064 --> 00:24:37.132
A number of years ago that on paper says
00:24:37.198 --> 00:24:38.266
That on paper says we don't look any different
00:24:38.333 --> 00:24:39.501
We don't look any different than non-christians
00:24:39.568 --> 00:24:41.102
Than non-christians in our addictions,
00:24:41.169 --> 00:24:42.137
In our default behaviors.
00:24:43.305 --> 00:24:44.272
In our default behaviors. on paper, we look the same,
00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:46.141
In our default behaviors. on paper, we look the same, as if the resurrection power
00:24:46.207 --> 00:24:47.475
On paper, we look the same, as if the resurrection power has not made a difference
00:24:47.542 --> 00:24:48.610
As if the resurrection power has not made a difference in our lives.
00:24:48.677 --> 00:24:49.711
Has not made a difference in our lives. but i want you to know
00:24:49.778 --> 00:24:50.812
In our lives. but i want you to know there's perfect clarity
00:24:50.879 --> 00:24:51.846
But i want you to know there's perfect clarity in heaven.
00:24:51.913 --> 00:24:52.881
There's perfect clarity in heaven. i often say
00:24:52.948 --> 00:24:53.915
In heaven. i often say heaven knows who's who
00:24:53.982 --> 00:24:54.950
I often say heaven knows who's who in the zoo.
00:24:55.016 --> 00:24:55.984
Heaven knows who's who in the zoo. right?
00:24:56.051 --> 00:24:56.985
In the zoo. right? heaven knows our hearts.
00:24:57.052 --> 00:24:58.019
Right? heaven knows our hearts. but it matters
00:24:58.086 --> 00:24:59.087
Heaven knows our hearts. but it matters that there is a distinction
00:24:59.154 --> 00:25:00.221
But it matters that there is a distinction on earth for us as believers.
00:25:00.288 --> 00:25:01.389
That there is a distinction on earth for us as believers. it matters that we live out
00:25:01.456 --> 00:25:02.557
On earth for us as believers. it matters that we live out our convictions
00:25:02.624 --> 00:25:03.692
It matters that we live out our convictions and we take god at his word,
00:25:03.758 --> 00:25:04.759
Our convictions and we take god at his word, because he is
00:25:04.826 --> 00:25:05.860
And we take god at his word, because he is who he says he is
00:25:05.927 --> 00:25:07.028
Because he is who he says he is and he's going to do
00:25:07.095 --> 00:25:08.129
Who he says he is and he's going to do what he says he'll do.
00:25:08.196 --> 00:25:09.197
And he's going to do what he says he'll do. and he rewards those
00:25:09.264 --> 00:25:10.265
What he says he'll do. and he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
00:25:10.332 --> 00:25:11.333
And he rewards those who earnestly seek him. and i'm telling you,
00:25:11.399 --> 00:25:12.400
Who earnestly seek him. and i'm telling you, no one is going to ask
00:25:12.467 --> 00:25:13.535
And i'm telling you, no one is going to ask about the hope within you
00:25:13.602 --> 00:25:14.736
No one is going to ask about the hope within you unless they see hope
00:25:14.803 --> 00:25:16.037
About the hope within you unless they see hope all over you.
00:25:16.104 --> 00:25:17.606
Unless they see hope all over you. how do you do that?
00:25:17.672 --> 00:25:18.840
All over you. how do you do that? you live in continual response
00:25:18.907 --> 00:25:20.375
How do you do that? you live in continual response to god's love.
00:25:20.442 --> 00:25:21.476
You live in continual response to god's love. you stand on his word.
00:25:21.543 --> 00:25:23.011
To god's love. you stand on his word. you do what he says
00:25:23.078 --> 00:25:24.446
You stand on his word. you do what he says and you trust
00:25:24.512 --> 00:25:25.647
You do what he says and you trust that he's going to do
00:25:25.714 --> 00:25:26.648
And you trust that he's going to do what he says he'll do.
00:25:26.715 --> 00:25:27.882
That he's going to do what he says he'll do. when was the last time
00:25:27.949 --> 00:25:29.017
What he says he'll do. when was the last time you delighted in the lord?
00:25:29.084 --> 00:25:30.151
When was the last time you delighted in the lord? when was the last time
00:25:30.218 --> 00:25:31.252
You delighted in the lord? when was the last time you dared to dream with god
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.354
When was the last time you dared to dream with god about some
00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.521
You dared to dream with god about some of the wonderful things
00:25:33.588 --> 00:25:34.623
About some of the wonderful things he wants to do
00:25:34.689 --> 00:25:35.690
Of the wonderful things he wants to do in and through you?
00:25:35.757 --> 00:25:36.858
He wants to do in and through you? when was the last time
00:25:36.925 --> 00:25:38.026
In and through you? when was the last time you sought god
00:25:38.093 --> 00:25:39.160
When was the last time you sought god just for his face,
00:25:39.227 --> 00:25:40.228
You sought god just for his face, not his hand.
00:25:40.295 --> 00:25:41.296
Just for his face, not his hand. but just because
00:25:41.363 --> 00:25:42.330
Not his hand. but just because you want to be with him?
00:25:42.397 --> 00:25:43.398
But just because you want to be with him? any gift from his hand
00:25:43.465 --> 00:25:44.432
You want to be with him? any gift from his hand pales in comparison
00:25:44.499 --> 00:25:45.567
Any gift from his hand pales in comparison to knowing his heart
00:25:45.634 --> 00:25:46.568
Pales in comparison to knowing his heart because he's our greatest gift
00:25:46.635 --> 00:25:47.669
To knowing his heart because he's our greatest gift and we have him.
00:25:47.736 --> 00:25:48.803
Because he's our greatest gift and we have him. i challenge you,
00:25:48.870 --> 00:25:49.938
And we have him. i challenge you, in these evil days,

About you. because as you start to enjoy the presence of god,

Because as you start to enjoy the presence of god, as you start to stand
00:26:02.917 --> 00:26:04.019
The presence of god, as you start to stand on the word of god,
00:26:04.085 --> 00:26:05.553
As you start to stand on the word of god, you will be more connected
00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:07.422
On the word of god, you will be more connected to eternity than you are
00:26:07.489 --> 00:26:08.623
You will be more connected to eternity than you are to the things of this world,
00:26:08.690 --> 00:26:09.924
To eternity than you are to the things of this world, and people will see it.
00:26:09.991 --> 00:26:10.959
To the things of this world, and people will see it. people will notice.

Heaven has perfect clarity about who those are pretending to be christians
00:26:20.535 --> 00:26:21.736
About who those are pretending to be christians and those who are very serious
00:26:21.803 --> 00:26:22.937
Pretending to be christians and those who are very serious about their faith.
00:26:23.004 --> 00:26:24.005
And those who are very serious about their faith. but the world needs
00:26:24.072 --> 00:26:25.173
About their faith. but the world needs what god has imparted.

Dwell in the land. find ways to serve him, to obey him, to love

Find ways to serve him, to obey him, to love when it doesn't suit you.

To obey him, to love when it doesn't suit you. because when you do that,
