00:03:35.698 --> 00:03:38.067
Becoming a husband, and then you know,
00:03:38.134 --> 00:03:38.768
And then you know, about seven years
00:03:38.835 --> 00:03:39.836
About seven years into our marriage,
00:03:39.902 --> 00:03:42.538
Into our marriage, we are --
00:03:42.605 --> 00:03:43.172
We are -- onika's on the elliptical
00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:44.374

At the gym, and she's like, "i'm getting some contractions."
00:03:46.976 --> 00:03:48.044
"i'm getting some contractions." i'm like,
00:03:48.111 --> 00:03:48.511

Rush to the hospital. and parker's actually --
00:03:50.913 --> 00:03:52.415
And parker's actually -- his heart rate was going down
00:03:52.482 --> 00:03:53.616
With every contraction
00:03:53.716 --> 00:03:54.317
With every contraction so we had to do
00:03:54.384 --> 00:03:54.984
So we had to do an emergency c-section.
00:03:55.051 --> 00:03:55.885
An emergency c-section. and he came out,
00:03:55.952 --> 00:03:57.954
And he came out, and i remember the moment
00:03:58.021 --> 00:03:59.822
And i remember the moment when i got to hold my son,
00:03:59.889 --> 00:04:03.293

It changed my life forever. it was a dream coming true.
00:04:05.895 --> 00:04:08.064

Confidence whatsoever. incredibly kind heart.
00:05:10.493 --> 00:05:12.495
Incredibly kind heart. but from the time onika
00:05:12.562 --> 00:05:13.930
But from the time onika and i were in college,
00:05:13.996 --> 00:05:14.931
And i were in college, we had already --
00:05:14.997 --> 00:05:15.698
We had already -- always dreamed of adopting.
00:05:15.765 --> 00:05:18.000
Always dreamed of adopting. and we jumped on the adoption
00:05:18.067 --> 00:05:19.469
And we jumped on the adoption journey after we had parker,
00:05:19.535 --> 00:05:21.371
Journey after we had parker, and it took a lot longer
00:05:21.437 --> 00:05:23.106
And it took a lot longer than we thought
00:05:23.172 --> 00:05:23.673
Than we thought it was going to take.
00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:24.907
It was going to take. we had gotten connected
00:05:24.974 --> 00:05:25.842
We had gotten connected with a number of birth moms,
00:05:25.908 --> 00:05:27.377
With a number of birth moms, and every birth mom
00:05:27.443 --> 00:05:28.911
And every birth mom has a total right to do
00:05:28.978 --> 00:05:30.213
Has a total right to do what she would like to do,
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.247
What she would like to do, but we got connected with some,
00:05:31.314 --> 00:05:32.648
But we got connected with some, they were like,
00:05:32.715 --> 00:05:33.082
They were like, "yes, yes, yes.
00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:33.883
"yes, yes, yes. you're gonna raise my baby,
00:05:33.950 --> 00:05:35.885
You're gonna raise my baby, and then at the last
00:05:35.952 --> 00:05:36.853
And then at the last minute it fell through.
00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:37.920
Minute it fell through. and that happened time
00:05:37.987 --> 00:05:38.855
And that happened time after time after time.
00:05:38.921 --> 00:05:40.256
After time after time. so our hearts were broken.
00:05:40.323 --> 00:05:41.891
So our hearts were broken. we had never experienced
00:05:41.958 --> 00:05:42.959
We had never experienced a miscarriage,
00:05:43.025 --> 00:05:43.659
A miscarriage, but we imagine that's what
00:05:43.726 --> 00:05:44.594
But we imagine that's what it would have felt like.
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:46.596
It would have felt like. but i remember getting
00:05:46.662 --> 00:05:47.697
But i remember getting the phone call in august.
00:05:47.764 --> 00:05:50.400
The phone call in august. that little baby had been born,
00:05:50.466 --> 00:05:52.602
That little baby had been born, and onika and i hopped
00:05:52.668 --> 00:05:53.336
And onika and i hopped in the car right away,
00:05:53.403 --> 00:05:54.504
In the car right away, got on the plane,
00:05:54.570 --> 00:05:55.638
Got on the plane, drove to --
00:05:55.705 --> 00:05:57.774
Drove to -- flew to oklahoma,
00:05:57.840 --> 00:05:59.175
Flew to oklahoma, and at this -- yep.
00:05:59.242 --> 00:06:01.477
And at this -- yep. we were in --
00:06:01.544 --> 00:06:02.412
We were in -- right outside of oklahoma city
00:06:02.478 --> 00:06:04.514
Right outside of oklahoma city at this army base,
00:06:04.580 --> 00:06:05.615
At this army base, and we walked into
00:06:05.681 --> 00:06:08.017
And we walked into the hospital room,
00:06:08.084 --> 00:06:10.019
The hospital room, and there was grayson
00:06:10.086 --> 00:06:10.787
And there was grayson with his birth mother.
00:06:10.853 --> 00:06:12.955
With his birth mother. this young woman who's making
00:06:13.022 --> 00:06:14.023
This young woman who's making this courageous decision
00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:16.559
This courageous decision to love her son so well,
00:06:16.626 --> 00:06:19.729
To love her son so well, she felt that she
00:06:19.796 --> 00:06:20.897
She felt that she could not raise him
00:06:20.963 --> 00:06:21.764
Could not raise him the way she wanted to,
00:06:21.831 --> 00:06:23.433
The way she wanted to, so she wanted to find
00:06:23.499 --> 00:06:24.200
So she wanted to find a forever home for him.
00:06:24.267 --> 00:06:26.369
A forever home for him. we sat in that hospital room
00:06:26.436 --> 00:06:27.837
We sat in that hospital room with her for about eight hours,
00:06:27.904 --> 00:06:29.205
With her for about eight hours, and just talked,
00:06:29.272 --> 00:06:29.772
And just talked, and heard her story,
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:30.807
And heard her story, and she heard ours.
00:06:30.873 --> 00:06:33.810
And she heard ours. and then at the end of our
00:06:33.876 --> 00:06:34.844
And then at the end of our time together, she took grayson,
00:06:34.911 --> 00:06:37.313
Time together, she took grayson, who we thought was gonna
00:06:37.380 --> 00:06:38.114
Who we thought was gonna be ugly for whatever reason.
00:06:38.181 --> 00:06:39.148
Be ugly for whatever reason. i had no idea why we thought
00:06:39.215 --> 00:06:40.049
I had no idea why we thought he was gonna be ugly,
00:06:40.116 --> 00:06:40.783
He was gonna be ugly, but man that guy was cute.
00:06:40.850 --> 00:06:42.018
But man that guy was cute. i don't have a picture of him
00:06:42.084 --> 00:06:42.885
I don't have a picture of him when he has a baby,
00:06:42.952 --> 00:06:43.586
When he has a baby, but oh man, he was so, so cute.
00:06:43.653 --> 00:06:46.289
But oh man, he was so, so cute. and she put him in
00:06:46.355 --> 00:06:46.956
And she put him in that car seat,
00:06:47.023 --> 00:06:49.325
That car seat, clipped him in,
00:06:49.392 --> 00:06:52.829
Clipped him in, and said,

Man, it's making me emotional, praying over me saying,
00:08:14.911 --> 00:08:17.813
Praying over me saying, "god, would you use our dad?
00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:20.883
"god, would you use our dad? will you speak through our dad?
00:08:20.950 --> 00:08:22.919
Will you speak through our dad? less of our dad
00:08:22.985 --> 00:08:23.953
Less of our dad and more of you, jesus."
00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:26.155
And more of you, jesus." there was a room
00:08:26.222 --> 00:08:26.856
There was a room where it happened.
00:08:26.923 --> 00:08:28.991
Where it happened. and it was in that room
00:08:29.058 --> 00:08:30.126
And it was in that room that i felt like god
00:08:30.192 --> 00:08:30.893
That i felt like god was stirring some things,
00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:32.261
Was stirring some things, and i want you to know
00:08:32.328 --> 00:08:33.362
And i want you to know last night we prayed again,
00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:34.864
Last night we prayed again, and i know the board
00:08:34.931 --> 00:08:36.365
And i know the board of passion has been praying,
00:08:36.432 --> 00:08:37.733
Of passion has been praying, i know the team
00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:38.768
I know the team here has been praying,
00:08:38.834 --> 00:08:39.902
Here has been praying, i know your leaders
00:08:39.969 --> 00:08:40.970
I know your leaders have been praying.
00:08:41.037 --> 00:08:41.704
Have been praying. a lot of you have friends
00:08:41.771 --> 00:08:42.672
A lot of you have friends and family members that are back
00:08:42.738 --> 00:08:43.673
And family members that are back home that are praying
00:08:43.739 --> 00:08:44.907
Home that are praying for you right now,
00:08:44.974 --> 00:08:45.808
For you right now, and i wonder if this might
00:08:45.875 --> 00:08:47.076
And i wonder if this might be another room
00:08:47.143 --> 00:08:47.843
Be another room where it happens.
00:08:47.910 --> 00:08:50.813
Where it happens. i wonder if this might
00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:51.547
I wonder if this might be another spot
00:08:51.614 --> 00:08:52.181
Be another spot where something shifts,
00:08:52.248 --> 00:08:53.082
Where something shifts, something changes,
00:08:53.149 --> 00:08:53.883
Something changes, something miraculous occurs
00:08:53.950 --> 00:08:56.018
Something miraculous occurs in your heart and in your soul,
00:08:56.085 --> 00:08:57.486
In your heart and in your soul, but not something that
00:08:57.553 --> 00:08:58.654
But not something that just gives you goosebumps
00:08:58.721 --> 00:08:59.889
Just gives you goosebumps or makes one tear come
00:08:59.956 --> 00:09:01.791
Or makes one tear come down your cheek,
00:09:01.857 --> 00:09:02.658
Down your cheek, but something that would change
00:09:02.725 --> 00:09:04.260
But something that would change you so significantly
00:09:04.327 --> 00:09:06.062
You so significantly that you would be marked

00:14:13.936 --> 00:14:16.405
The times or the dates the father has set
00:14:16.472 --> 00:14:17.206
The father has set by his own authority.
00:14:17.273 --> 00:14:19.308
By his own authority. but you will receive power
00:14:19.375 --> 00:14:23.412
But you will receive power when the holy spirit
00:14:23.479 --> 00:14:24.280
When the holy spirit comes on you,
00:14:24.346 --> 00:14:26.015
Comes on you, and you will be my
00:14:26.081 --> 00:14:26.782
And you will be my witnesses in jerusalem,

Witnesses in jerusalem, in all judea and samaria,

And to the ends of the earth.'" let me just tell you,
00:14:32.388 --> 00:14:32.955
Let me just tell you, i'm really glad that
00:14:33.022 --> 00:14:33.589
He put on there,
00:14:33.689 --> 00:14:34.156
He put on there, "to the ends of the earth,"
00:14:34.223 --> 00:14:35.524
"to the ends of the earth," 'cause that's why
00:14:35.591 --> 00:14:36.025
'cause that's why you and i are here.
00:14:36.091 --> 00:14:37.726
You and i are here. we're a part of the ends

We're a part of the ends of the earth.
00:14:39.094 --> 00:14:40.296
Of the earth. if he had just said,
00:14:40.362 --> 00:14:41.463
If he had just said, "jerusalem," or just,
00:14:41.530 --> 00:14:42.431
"jerusalem," or just, "judea," or just, "samaria,"
00:14:42.498 --> 00:14:43.899
"judea," or just, "samaria," most of us would
00:14:43.966 --> 00:14:45.267
Most of us would have been exempt.
00:14:45.334 --> 00:14:46.402
Have been exempt. but because he said,
00:14:46.468 --> 00:14:47.269
But because he said, "i want this thing to go
00:14:47.336 --> 00:14:48.270
"i want this thing to go to the ends of the earth,"
00:14:48.337 --> 00:14:49.238
To the ends of the earth," that's why you and i are here.
00:14:49.305 --> 00:14:50.973
That's why you and i are here. but he told every single

Fill you with power so that you can be my witnesses

So that you can be my witnesses all the way

Because we find out in this passage of scripture,

In this passage of scripture, right here,
00:15:33.749 --> 00:15:34.483
Right here, that what jesus has for us
00:15:34.550 --> 00:15:37.086
That what jesus has for us is not some random option.
00:15:37.152 --> 00:15:38.954
Is not some random option. this is not something
00:15:39.021 --> 00:15:39.888
This is not something to be set aside.
00:15:39.955 --> 00:15:40.889
To be set aside. this is not something that's
00:15:40.956 --> 00:15:41.991
This is not something that's for some elite
00:15:42.057 --> 00:15:43.025
For some elite group of christians.
00:15:43.092 --> 00:15:43.959
Group of christians. oh, no, my friends.

For those who are emotional. the holy spirit is for those

The holy spirit is for those who are followers of jesus.
00:15:50.566 --> 00:15:52.568
Who are followers of jesus. and jesus says,
00:15:52.634 --> 00:15:53.702
And jesus says, "i have this gift
00:15:53.769 --> 00:15:56.005
"i have this gift for every single one of you."
00:15:56.071 --> 00:15:59.675

That are, like, a little bit weird.
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.703
A little bit weird. i thought the holy spirit
00:17:01.770 --> 00:17:03.639
I thought the holy spirit was somebody i needed
00:17:03.705 --> 00:17:04.306
Was somebody i needed to be afraid of.
00:17:04.373 --> 00:17:07.042

Y'all see encanto? y'all didn't see encanto?
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:13.082
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. we don't talk about bruno.
00:17:14.383 --> 00:17:17.219
We don't talk about bruno. we don't talk about bruno,
00:17:17.286 --> 00:17:17.820
We don't talk about bruno, don't talk about bruno,
00:17:17.886 --> 00:17:18.387
Don't talk about bruno, don't talk about bruno,
00:17:18.454 --> 00:17:18.954
Don't talk about bruno, don't talk about bruno.
00:17:19.021 --> 00:17:19.655
Don't talk about bruno. man that song played
00:17:19.721 --> 00:17:20.489
Man that song played for a long time in our house.
00:17:20.556 --> 00:17:22.357
For a long time in our house. we don't talk about bruno,
00:17:22.424 --> 00:17:23.025
We don't talk about bruno, we don't talk about bruno.
00:17:23.092 --> 00:17:24.059
We don't talk about bruno. it's like it seems like
00:17:24.126 --> 00:17:24.726
It's like it seems like all we're doing is
00:17:24.793 --> 00:17:25.294
All we're doing is talking about bruno
00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:26.161
Talking about bruno because that song keeps
00:17:26.228 --> 00:17:26.862
Because that song keeps playing, and playing,
00:17:26.929 --> 00:17:27.529
Playing, and playing, and playing, and playing.
00:17:27.596 --> 00:17:28.330
And playing, and playing. we don't talk about bruno.
00:17:28.397 --> 00:17:29.264
We don't talk about bruno. bruno was that little brother,
00:17:29.331 --> 00:17:30.699
Bruno was that little brother, that brother that was, kind of,
00:17:30.766 --> 00:17:31.733
That brother that was, kind of, behind the scenes,
00:17:31.800 --> 00:17:32.734
Behind the scenes, that everybody was
00:17:32.801 --> 00:17:33.335
That everybody was a little bit afraid of.
00:17:33.402 --> 00:17:33.969
A little bit afraid of. it was like,
00:17:34.036 --> 00:17:34.369
It was like, "man, don't talk about him.
00:17:34.436 --> 00:17:35.304
"man, don't talk about him. he's weird."
00:17:35.370 --> 00:17:36.004
He's weird." then you met bruno, you go,
00:17:36.071 --> 00:17:36.872
Then you met bruno, you go, "oh, he's not that
00:17:36.939 --> 00:17:37.406
"oh, he's not that weird at all."
00:17:37.473 --> 00:17:37.973
Weird at all." and then you find out that
00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:39.007
And then you find out that some of us have been treating
00:17:39.074 --> 00:17:39.741
Some of us have been treating the holy spirit like he's bruno.
00:17:39.808 --> 00:17:41.443
The holy spirit like he's bruno. like we don't talk about bruno,
00:17:41.510 --> 00:17:42.678
Like we don't talk about bruno, we don't talk about bruno,
00:17:42.744 --> 00:17:43.512
We don't talk about bruno, we don't talk about bruno.
00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:44.513
We don't talk about bruno. but now when you read the bible,
00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:45.714
But now when you read the bible, "in the beginning god created
00:17:45.781 --> 00:17:47.149
"in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth,
00:17:47.216 --> 00:17:48.283
The heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless
00:17:48.350 --> 00:17:49.151
And the earth was formless and empty and darkness
00:17:49.218 --> 00:17:50.018
And empty and darkness of the surface of the deep,
00:17:50.085 --> 00:17:50.786
Of the surface of the deep, and the spirit of god was
00:17:50.853 --> 00:17:52.387
And the spirit of god was hovering over the waters."
00:17:52.454 --> 00:17:53.455
Hovering over the waters." it seems like god does not have
00:17:53.522 --> 00:17:55.057
It seems like god does not have a problem talking about god,
00:17:55.124 --> 00:17:56.391
A problem talking about god, because god wants to make sure
00:17:56.458 --> 00:17:57.860
Because god wants to make sure that every single one of us
00:17:57.926 --> 00:17:59.061
That every single one of us understand that we got
00:17:59.128 --> 00:17:59.928
Understand that we got god the father,
00:17:59.995 --> 00:18:00.562
God the father, god the son,
00:18:00.629 --> 00:18:01.230
God the son, and god the holy spirit.
00:18:01.296 --> 00:18:02.297
And god the holy spirit. because in verse number 3,
00:18:02.364 --> 00:18:03.432
Because in verse number 3, you see the word through
00:18:03.499 --> 00:18:04.466
You see the word through which everything was created.
00:18:04.533 --> 00:18:06.168
Which everything was created. so you got the word,
00:18:06.235 --> 00:18:07.402
So you got the word, you got the spirit,
00:18:07.469 --> 00:18:08.437
You got the spirit, and you got god the father.
00:18:08.504 --> 00:18:09.738
And you got god the father. in the very beginning
00:18:09.805 --> 00:18:10.973
In the very beginning of the bible god is
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.441
Of the bible god is letting us know you
00:18:12.508 --> 00:18:13.709
Letting us know you need the spirit of god.
00:18:13.775 --> 00:18:16.545

It says, "the people were waiting
