[cheering] so, now i understand
00:01:09.022 --> 00:01:10.356
So, now i understand that i've had it backwards.
00:01:10.423 --> 00:01:12.425
That i've had it backwards. because i've been too
00:01:12.492 --> 00:01:13.526
Because i've been too controlled by my environment.
00:01:13.593 --> 00:01:15.995
Controlled by my environment. because i've been too
00:01:16.062 --> 00:01:16.596
Because i've been too controlled by my surroundings.
00:01:16.663 --> 00:01:19.099
Controlled by my surroundings. because i've been too controlled
00:01:19.165 --> 00:01:20.266
Because i've been too controlled by cultural programming.
00:01:20.333 --> 00:01:21.935
By cultural programming. because i've been thro --

Too controlled by thoughts that didn't even come from god.
00:01:24.938 --> 00:01:25.972
That didn't even come from god. because i've been too controlled
00:01:26.039 --> 00:01:27.240
Because i've been too controlled by what i see, what i feel,
00:01:27.307 --> 00:01:28.608
By what i see, what i feel, what i think,
00:01:28.675 --> 00:01:29.342
What i think, what i knew up to this point,

What i knew up to this point, that's what's around me.
00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:33.246
That's what's around me. but when what is around me
00:01:33.313 --> 00:01:35.348
But when what is around me contradicts the word
00:01:35.415 --> 00:01:36.883
Contradicts the word that is planted in me,
00:01:36.950 --> 00:01:39.352
That is planted in me, god says, "we've gotta get
00:01:39.419 --> 00:01:40.687

That is in you has potential to save you."

Potential to save you." but with god,

But with god, it works in reverse.
00:01:51.164 --> 00:01:52.198
It works in reverse. see, most people live this way,
00:01:52.265 --> 00:01:53.500
See, most people live this way, whatever happens on the outside
00:01:53.566 --> 00:01:55.802
Whatever happens on the outside they react to it.
00:01:55.869 --> 00:01:56.736

The outside they move to it. whatever happens on
00:01:59.906 --> 00:02:00.707
Whatever happens on the outside they dance with it.

The outside they dance with it. whatever happens on the outside
00:02:02.775 --> 00:02:04.511
Whatever happens on the outside they surrender to it.
00:02:04.577 --> 00:02:05.845
They surrender to it. whatever happens on the outside
00:02:05.912 --> 00:02:07.514
Whatever happens on the outside that's what they consult
00:02:07.580 --> 00:02:08.982
That's what they consult for their next step in life.
00:02:09.048 --> 00:02:10.783
For their next step in life. not you, you're chosen so you
00:02:10.850 --> 00:02:13.386
Not you, you're chosen so you do it different because
00:02:13.453 --> 00:02:14.721
Do it different because in the kingdom of god,
00:02:14.787 --> 00:02:16.356
In the kingdom of god, it works in reverse.

My situation to see how it's going to turn out,
00:02:26.399 --> 00:02:28.067
It's going to turn out, because it works in reverse.

00:05:23.443 --> 00:05:23.943
I said, "i mean to preach to you."
00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:24.444
To preach to you." he said, "no,
00:05:24.510 --> 00:05:24.877
He said, "no, preach to me, man.
00:05:24.944 --> 00:05:25.378
Preach to me, man. i need it.
00:05:25.445 --> 00:05:25.778
I need it. i need it.
00:05:25.845 --> 00:05:26.145
I need it. i need it."
00:05:26.212 --> 00:05:27.146
I need it." that's what he said,
00:05:27.213 --> 00:05:27.680
That's what he said, he said, "i need it.
00:05:27.747 --> 00:05:28.314
He said, "i need it. i need it.
00:05:28.381 --> 00:05:29.215
I need it. i'm sick of being stuck.
00:05:29.282 --> 00:05:33.486
I'm sick of being stuck. i'm sick of needing to feel
00:05:33.553 --> 00:05:34.354
I'm sick of needing to feel a certain way to do
00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:35.288
A certain way to do a certain thing.
00:05:35.355 --> 00:05:37.523
A certain thing. i'm sick of coming
00:05:37.590 --> 00:05:38.391
I'm sick of coming to church and going like,
00:05:38.458 --> 00:05:39.092
To church and going like, 'oh, yeah.
00:05:39.158 --> 00:05:40.827
'oh, yeah. i wanna live like that.'
00:05:40.893 --> 00:05:44.597
I wanna live like that.' i'm sick of clicking around
00:05:44.664 --> 00:05:45.431
I'm sick of clicking around youtube videos and going,
00:05:45.498 --> 00:05:46.399
Youtube videos and going, 'oh, yeah.
00:05:46.466 --> 00:05:47.066
'oh, yeah. i wanna - i wanna live
00:05:47.133 --> 00:05:50.136
I wanna - i wanna live like that.'"
00:05:50.203 --> 00:05:52.505
Like that.'" so, when james comes along,
00:05:52.572 --> 00:05:53.873
So, when james comes along, he says something very
00:05:53.940 --> 00:05:54.774
He says something very simple in james 1:22,
00:05:54.841 --> 00:05:59.112
Simple in james 1:22, "do not merely
00:05:59.178 --> 00:06:03.082
"do not merely listen to the word."
00:06:03.149 --> 00:06:07.420
Listen to the word." so, i stopped there when
00:06:07.487 --> 00:06:08.321
So, i stopped there when i was studying this week.
00:06:08.388 --> 00:06:09.322
I was studying this week. i'm like, "lord, that would
00:06:09.389 --> 00:06:10.289
I'm like, "lord, that would be good if people would
00:06:10.356 --> 00:06:11.224
Be good if people would even just listen to it.
00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:13.259
Even just listen to it. i mean, they're doing
00:06:13.326 --> 00:06:13.893
I mean, they're doing pretty good just to listen
00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:15.228
Pretty good just to listen to a sermon when there are
00:06:15.294 --> 00:06:16.162
To a sermon when there are so much other options.
00:06:16.229 --> 00:06:18.064
So much other options. why you being so hard on them?
00:06:18.131 --> 00:06:20.867
Why you being so hard on them? they're listening to the word."
00:06:20.933 --> 00:06:23.469
They're listening to the word." but he showed me that when you
00:06:23.536 --> 00:06:26.272
But he showed me that when you listen and don't implement,
00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:30.276
Listen and don't implement, it limits you that much more
00:06:30.343 --> 00:06:31.811
It limits you that much more the next time you hear it,
00:06:31.878 --> 00:06:35.381
The next time you hear it, and it puts a lid on
00:06:35.448 --> 00:06:36.516
And it puts a lid on the potential that
00:06:36.582 --> 00:06:37.183
The potential that he's put inside of you.
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:40.052
He's put inside of you. so, the next thing becomes
00:06:40.119 --> 00:06:41.120
So, the next thing becomes very, very integral to your
00:06:41.187 --> 00:06:45.091
Very, very integral to your spiritual development.
00:06:45.158 --> 00:06:48.928
Spiritual development. "do not merely listen
00:06:48.995 --> 00:06:50.096
"do not merely listen to the word and so
00:06:50.163 --> 00:06:50.797
To the word and so deceive yourself.
00:06:50.863 --> 00:06:53.599
Deceive yourself. do what it says."
00:06:53.666 --> 00:07:00.740
Do what it says." elijah, where you at, son?
00:07:00.807 --> 00:07:03.609
Elijah, where you at, son? yeah.
00:07:03.676 --> 00:07:04.110
Yeah. thank you for that bible club
00:07:04.177 --> 00:07:05.011
Thank you for that bible club and thank you for this.

And thank you for this. every time he sends his
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.247
Every time he sends his key verse -- 'cause we pick
00:07:08.314 --> 00:07:09.248
Key verse -- 'cause we pick a verse and we say,
00:07:09.315 --> 00:07:09.916
A verse and we say, "this is how i'mma try
00:07:09.982 --> 00:07:10.583
"this is how i'mma try to do this today, right?"
00:07:10.650 --> 00:07:12.418
To do this today, right?" every time he sends his
00:07:12.485 --> 00:07:13.419
Every time he sends his key verse, it's so practical,
00:07:13.486 --> 00:07:16.689
Key verse, it's so practical, and he's so smart.
00:07:16.756 --> 00:07:18.157
And he's so smart. he's so analytical,
00:07:18.224 --> 00:07:19.826
He's so analytical, always has been.
00:07:19.892 --> 00:07:20.493
Always has been. he's -- when he was like
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.562
He's -- when he was like four years old,
00:07:22.628 --> 00:07:24.697
Four years old, he was asking me questions
00:07:24.764 --> 00:07:27.467
He was asking me questions that made me feel i needed to
00:07:27.533 --> 00:07:28.734
That made me feel i needed to go back to bible college again.
00:07:28.801 --> 00:07:33.272
Go back to bible college again. he's asking me stuff about
00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:33.940
He's asking me stuff about god that god hasn't even
00:07:34.006 --> 00:07:34.707
God that god hasn't even asked about god.
00:07:34.774 --> 00:07:36.876
Asked about god. [laughter]
00:07:36.943 --> 00:07:40.313
[laughter] and yet, every time he does it,
00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:41.180
And yet, every time he does it, he puts it so simple,
00:07:41.247 --> 00:07:42.281
He puts it so simple, but at the end of his
00:07:42.348 --> 00:07:43.382
But at the end of his key verses he'll always say,
00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:46.886
Key verses he'll always say, "i hope this isn't too simple."
00:07:46.953 --> 00:07:49.689
"i hope this isn't too simple." don't ever say, "sorry,"
00:07:49.755 --> 00:07:51.190
Don't ever say, "sorry," for keeping it simple.
00:07:51.257 --> 00:07:52.391
For keeping it simple. [applause]
00:07:52.458 --> 00:07:55.428
[applause] because like what you put
00:07:55.495 --> 00:07:57.063
Because like what you put the other day about david
00:07:57.129 --> 00:07:58.764
The other day about david where you said,
00:07:58.831 --> 00:07:59.365
Where you said, "okay, i know this isn't
00:07:59.432 --> 00:08:00.366
"okay, i know this isn't probably the deepest
00:08:00.433 --> 00:08:01.033
Probably the deepest application of the text."
00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:02.101
Application of the text." no, the deepest thing
00:08:02.168 --> 00:08:02.935
No, the deepest thing you could have found
00:08:03.002 --> 00:08:03.536
You could have found is what you found,
00:08:03.603 --> 00:08:04.036
Is what you found, 'cause you found the thing
00:08:04.103 --> 00:08:04.937
'cause you found the thing that god was actually
00:08:05.004 --> 00:08:05.538
That god was actually calling you to do.
00:08:05.605 --> 00:08:08.007
Calling you to do. and i thought that was
00:08:08.074 --> 00:08:08.841
And i thought that was so powerful, 'cause i'm like,
00:08:08.908 --> 00:08:11.911
So powerful, 'cause i'm like, "that is what a disciple --
00:08:11.978 --> 00:08:13.746
"that is what a disciple -- and not that you're --
00:08:13.813 --> 00:08:14.380
And not that you're -- not that you're perfect,
00:08:14.447 --> 00:08:15.348
Not that you're perfect, or i'm perfect,
00:08:15.414 --> 00:08:16.048
Or i'm perfect, or not that, "oh,
00:08:16.115 --> 00:08:16.649
Or not that, "oh, we're reading our bible
00:08:16.716 --> 00:08:17.517
We're reading our bible everyday so we're so great."
00:08:17.583 --> 00:08:19.118
Everyday so we're so great." but i love how i see you
00:08:19.185 --> 00:08:21.888
But i love how i see you working the word.
00:08:21.954 --> 00:08:24.323
Working the word. [applause]
00:08:24.390 --> 00:08:26.259
[applause] because here's what
00:08:26.325 --> 00:08:29.495
Because here's what i know about god's word,
00:08:29.562 --> 00:08:31.664
I know about god's word, it works in reverse.
00:08:31.731 --> 00:08:35.401
It works in reverse. god is giving him wisdom today
00:08:35.468 --> 00:08:38.237
God is giving him wisdom today for experiences he doesn't even
00:08:38.304 --> 00:08:40.106
For experiences he doesn't even know he's going to have yet.
00:08:40.172 --> 00:08:41.707
Know he's going to have yet. [applause]
00:08:41.774 --> 00:08:45.111
[applause] he's digging a well today,
00:08:45.177 --> 00:08:47.246
He's digging a well today, every time he goes to the word
00:08:47.313 --> 00:08:48.548
Every time he goes to the word and puts it into practice.
00:08:48.614 --> 00:08:50.850
And puts it into practice. everybody say, "practice."
00:08:50.917 --> 00:08:52.318
Everybody say, "practice." >> congregation: practice.
00:08:52.385 --> 00:08:53.519
>> congregation: practice. >> principles without
00:08:53.586 --> 00:08:54.453
>> principles without practice are powerless.
00:08:54.520 --> 00:09:00.192
Practice are powerless. and every time he puts it
00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:01.060
And every time he puts it into practice let me
00:09:01.127 --> 00:09:02.495
Into practice let me show you what he is defying.
00:09:02.562 --> 00:09:05.464
Show you what he is defying. i close with this image.
00:09:05.531 --> 00:09:07.600
I close with this image. and don't play the piano, lj.

And don't play the piano, lj. i'm closing,

I'm closing, but i don't want it soft.
00:09:10.436 --> 00:09:14.140
"do not merely listen

"do not merely listen to the word and so

To the word and so deceive yourselves.

Deceive yourselves. do what it says."

And listen -- listen to this picture.

Listen to this picture. remember when it
00:09:25.151 --> 00:09:26.752
Remember when it comes to god's word,
00:09:26.819 --> 00:09:29.522
Comes to god's word, he gives us a picture of who
00:09:29.589 --> 00:09:31.724
He gives us a picture of who he is and we can't see it fully,
00:09:31.791 --> 00:09:34.327
He is and we can't see it fully, but we see in part.
00:09:34.393 --> 00:09:36.295
But we see in part. and he gives us a picture
00:09:36.362 --> 00:09:38.197
And he gives us a picture of who we can be in him.
00:09:38.264 --> 00:09:41.701
Of who we can be in him. and he shows us the strength
00:09:41.767 --> 00:09:42.768
And he shows us the strength that we can have in him
00:09:42.835 --> 00:09:43.869
That we can have in him and the future that
00:09:43.936 --> 00:09:44.837
And the future that we can have in him.
00:09:44.904 --> 00:09:45.838
We can have in him. and the way of life
00:09:45.905 --> 00:09:46.606
And the way of life that we can know in him,

And the peace that we can have, and the joy that we can have.

And the joy that we can have. he gives us a picture.
00:09:50.343 --> 00:09:51.077
He gives us a picture. but watch what james says
00:09:51.143 --> 00:09:52.311
But watch what james says as a warning.
00:09:52.378 --> 00:09:53.145
As a warning. he says, verse 23,
00:09:53.212 --> 00:09:54.714
He says, verse 23, "anyone who listens
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:55.915
"anyone who listens to the word but does not do
00:09:55.982 --> 00:09:57.650
To the word but does not do what it says is like someone who
00:09:57.717 --> 00:10:02.288
What it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror."
00:10:02.355 --> 00:10:08.427
Looks at his face in a mirror." man, an interesting image
00:10:08.494 --> 00:10:09.495
Man, an interesting image he says, he's like,
00:10:09.562 --> 00:10:10.796
He says, he's like, "looks at his face
00:10:10.863 --> 00:10:11.430
"looks at his face in the mirror and after
00:10:11.497 --> 00:10:12.098
In the mirror and after looking at himself, goes away
00:10:12.164 --> 00:10:15.768
Looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets
00:10:15.835 --> 00:10:18.771
And immediately forgets what he looks like.
00:10:18.838 --> 00:10:21.440
What he looks like. but whoever looks intently
00:10:21.507 --> 00:10:22.942
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law
00:10:23.009 --> 00:10:25.311
Into the perfect law that gives freedom
00:10:25.378 --> 00:10:26.245
That gives freedom and continues in it
00:10:26.312 --> 00:10:28.948
And continues in it not forgetting what they
00:10:29.015 --> 00:10:29.849
Not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it,
00:10:29.915 --> 00:10:33.653
Have heard, but doing it, they will be...
00:10:33.719 --> 00:10:35.287
They will be... >> congregation: blessed.
00:10:35.354 --> 00:10:36.822
>> congregation: blessed. >> in what they...
00:10:36.889 --> 00:10:38.057
>> in what they... >> congregation: do."
00:10:38.124 --> 00:10:40.993
>> congregation: do." >> be strong.
00:10:41.060 --> 00:10:43.229
>> be strong. do the work.
00:10:43.295 --> 00:10:44.964
Do the work. what happens when you
00:10:45.031 --> 00:10:45.698
Do the work?
00:10:45.798 --> 00:10:47.566
Do the work? you'd be strong.
00:10:47.633 --> 00:10:49.435
You'd be strong. not perfect, but stronger.
00:10:49.502 --> 00:10:52.471
Not perfect, but stronger. not there, but closer.
00:10:52.538 --> 00:10:56.509
Not there, but closer. not monastic, but maybe not
00:10:56.575 --> 00:10:58.944
Not monastic, but maybe not going off on everybody.
00:10:59.011 --> 00:11:02.415
Not perfect, but blessed.
00:11:02.515 --> 00:11:06.452
Not perfect, but blessed. and he said,
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.087
And he said, "it's like a mirror."
00:11:08.154 --> 00:11:10.222
"it's like a mirror." the word god gives you
00:11:10.289 --> 00:11:11.891
The word god gives you is like a mirror,
00:11:11.957 --> 00:11:13.926
Is like a mirror, and it shows you who god is,
00:11:13.993 --> 00:11:17.596
And it shows you who god is, and it shows you
00:11:17.663 --> 00:11:19.298
And it shows you who you really are.

Even by your own words, when you get in the mirror
00:11:38.851 --> 00:11:39.952
When you get in the mirror of god's word, it begins to

Of god's word, it begins to reverse every curse that has
00:11:45.424 --> 00:11:49.395
Reverse every curse that has been spoken over your life.

And she was looking at it in the mirror.

In the mirror. and when she was looking at it,
00:12:04.376 --> 00:12:05.811
And when she was looking at it, she said, "is it backwards?"
00:12:05.878 --> 00:12:09.615
She said, "is it backwards?" and i said, "yeah."
00:12:09.682 --> 00:12:11.484
And i said, "yeah." and she said,
00:12:11.550 --> 00:12:12.251
And she said, "but i'm confused.
00:12:12.318 --> 00:12:13.085

In front of a mirror... [applause]
00:12:24.163 --> 00:12:27.733
[applause] what does a mirror do?
00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:32.171
What does a mirror do? it reflects back whatever
00:12:32.238 --> 00:12:34.807
It reflects back whatever stands in front of it,
00:12:34.874 --> 00:12:37.109
Stands in front of it, but the light makes it
00:12:37.176 --> 00:12:39.378

So, god says, "when you come in my presence,
00:12:45.651 --> 00:12:47.386
Come in my presence, when you receive
00:12:47.453 --> 00:12:48.721
When you receive a word from me,
00:12:48.788 --> 00:12:50.456
A word from me, when you stand before heaven,
00:12:50.523 --> 00:12:52.858
When you stand before heaven, you're not just looking

God's purpose, he's gonna turn it around
00:13:20.486 --> 00:13:21.854

You know, this is working. i quit.”
00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:48.934
I quit.” the reminder of
00:15:49.001 --> 00:15:49.568
The reminder of the scripture is...
00:15:49.635 --> 00:15:54.473
The scripture is... that as you behold your god,
00:15:54.540 --> 00:15:58.911
That as you behold your god, he reflects to you backwards,
00:15:58.978 --> 00:16:03.182
He reflects to you backwards, what you can become.
00:16:03.248 --> 00:16:04.583
What you can become. and what you can become
00:16:04.650 --> 00:16:05.651
And what you can become starts with who he is.
00:16:05.718 --> 00:16:09.321
Starts with who he is. everything that god has
00:16:09.388 --> 00:16:10.789
Everything that god has in your life
00:16:10.856 --> 00:16:12.691
In your life is in seed form right now.

00:16:15.627 --> 00:16:17.930
It is surrounded by dirt, superfluous naughtiness.
00:16:17.997 --> 00:16:20.699
Superfluous naughtiness. but that's okay,
00:16:20.766 --> 00:16:21.800
But that's okay, because god
00:16:21.867 --> 00:16:23.569
Because god does dirty work.
00:16:23.635 --> 00:16:28.941
Does dirty work. please believe me
00:16:29.008 --> 00:16:29.675
Please believe me when i say that,
00:16:29.742 --> 00:16:31.443
When i say that, you've got to it dirty too.
00:16:31.510 --> 00:16:34.980
You've got to it dirty too. on the days you
00:16:35.047 --> 00:16:35.614
On the days you don't feel like it,
00:16:35.681 --> 00:16:36.849
Don't feel like it, on the days
00:16:36.915 --> 00:16:37.483
On the days where everything in you
00:16:37.549 --> 00:16:38.283
Where everything in you is telling you not to,
00:16:38.350 --> 00:16:40.252
Is telling you not to, the strength --
00:16:40.319 --> 00:16:40.753
The strength -- what did you say last week?
00:16:40.819 --> 00:16:41.653
What did you say last week? “the strength you need
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.788
“the strength you need for tomorrow is
00:16:42.855 --> 00:16:43.722
For tomorrow is in the work you do today.”
00:16:43.789 --> 00:16:47.426
In the work you do today.” but god is working in weakness,
00:16:47.493 --> 00:16:49.094
But god is working in weakness, that's how he works,
00:16:49.161 --> 00:16:50.062
That's how he works, he works in reverse.
00:16:50.129 --> 00:16:52.664
He works in reverse. he works in reverse.
00:16:52.731 --> 00:16:55.367

He sees you struggling and he wants to help you,
00:16:58.670 --> 00:17:00.873
And he wants to help you, but you won't let him.
00:17:00.939 --> 00:17:04.343
But you won't let him. what was your first job, jay?

The afterlife with dignity... [laughter]
00:17:43.182 --> 00:17:46.919

The lord was preparing me to preach,
00:17:47.352 --> 00:17:48.220
Preparing me to preach, i just had to start
00:17:48.287 --> 00:17:49.088
I just had to start with lesser animals
00:17:49.154 --> 00:17:50.789
With lesser animals in the kingdom.
00:17:50.856 --> 00:17:51.757
In the kingdom. [laughter]
00:17:51.824 --> 00:17:55.527
[laughter] well then,
00:17:55.594 --> 00:17:57.563
Well then, the coolest thing about
00:17:57.629 --> 00:17:58.063
The coolest thing about the job was,
00:17:58.130 --> 00:17:59.431

[applause] it came with a pager.
00:18:09.608 --> 00:18:11.844
It came with a pager. and so, on the nights
00:18:11.910 --> 00:18:12.911
And so, on the nights where i would need to go
00:18:12.978 --> 00:18:14.847
Where i would need to go cremate the dogs --
00:18:14.913 --> 00:18:17.182
Cremate the dogs -- why are y'all looking at me
00:18:17.249 --> 00:18:17.916
Why are y'all looking at me like i killed ‘em.
00:18:17.983 --> 00:18:18.984
Like i killed ‘em. [laughter]
00:18:19.051 --> 00:18:20.252
[laughter] this is a service people
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.186
This is a service people hired us to do.
00:18:21.253 --> 00:18:22.221
Hired us to do. it was good work.
00:18:22.287 --> 00:18:22.921
It was good work. i loved the job,
00:18:22.988 --> 00:18:23.755
I loved the job, i appreciated the job.
00:18:23.822 --> 00:18:24.790
I appreciated the job. and i liked the pager too,
00:18:24.857 --> 00:18:26.091
And i liked the pager too, ‘cause it looked so cool.
00:18:26.158 --> 00:18:27.059
‘cause it looked so cool. wear it on the outside
00:18:27.126 --> 00:18:27.659
Wear it on the outside of my pocket.
00:18:27.726 --> 00:18:30.329
Of my pocket. and if they're like,
00:18:30.395 --> 00:18:30.829
And if they're like, “what do you do for money?”
00:18:30.896 --> 00:18:31.630
“what do you do for money?” don't worry about it.
00:18:31.697 --> 00:18:32.664
Don't worry about it. [laughter]
00:18:32.731 --> 00:18:34.633
[laughter] it involves freezers.
00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:36.068
It involves freezers. [laughter]
00:18:36.135 --> 00:18:39.138
[laughter] but the --
00:18:39.204 --> 00:18:43.242
But the -- the worst part
00:18:43.308 --> 00:18:43.842
The worst part about that job was,
00:18:43.909 --> 00:18:46.745
About that job was, in the middle of the summer,
00:18:46.812 --> 00:18:47.713
In the middle of the summer, when a lot of dogs would die
00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:48.580
When a lot of dogs would die from heat exhaustion --
00:18:48.647 --> 00:18:49.414
From heat exhaustion -- it's obviously it's sad,
00:18:49.481 --> 00:18:51.049
It's obviously it's sad, but even worse than that,
00:18:51.116 --> 00:18:52.017
But even worse than that, it was so hot in
00:18:52.084 --> 00:18:52.684
It was so hot in the low country
00:18:52.751 --> 00:18:53.552
The low country of south carolina.
00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:54.553
Of south carolina. and i would never
00:18:54.620 --> 00:18:55.454
And i would never wake up early
00:18:55.521 --> 00:18:56.388
Wake up early to go dig the graves,
00:18:56.455 --> 00:18:57.623
To go dig the graves, ‘cause i had to dig
00:18:57.689 --> 00:18:58.323
‘cause i had to dig the graves too.
00:18:58.390 --> 00:18:59.625
The graves too. and i had to do it by hand.
00:18:59.691 --> 00:19:02.194
And i had to do it by hand. and this dirt
00:19:02.261 --> 00:19:03.262
And this dirt in the low country,
00:19:03.328 --> 00:19:04.530
In the low country, it is not like friendly dirt
00:19:04.596 --> 00:19:07.132
It is not like friendly dirt that's just waiting to be dug,
00:19:07.199 --> 00:19:08.433
That's just waiting to be dug, this is like clay.
00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.735
This is like clay. so, i would go out there
00:19:09.801 --> 00:19:10.736
So, i would go out there in the middle of the day,
00:19:10.802 --> 00:19:12.604
In the middle of the day, and --
00:19:12.671 --> 00:19:14.439
And -- true story, pickaxe,
00:19:14.506 --> 00:19:16.742
True story, pickaxe, and a shovel,
00:19:16.808 --> 00:19:17.576
And a shovel, and a little riding
00:19:17.643 --> 00:19:18.110
And a little riding lawn mower,
00:19:18.177 --> 00:19:18.644
Lawn mower, a little trailer
00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:19.545
A little trailer and i'd break up the dirt
00:19:19.611 --> 00:19:21.446
And i'd break up the dirt and dig the graves.
00:19:21.513 --> 00:19:23.415
And dig the graves. one day i was out there,
00:19:23.482 --> 00:19:24.449
One day i was out there, it must've been 115 degrees
00:19:24.516 --> 00:19:29.655
It must've been 115 degrees in the low country that day.
00:19:29.721 --> 00:19:31.690
In the low country that day. i was dying,
00:19:31.757 --> 00:19:32.591
I was dying, but i had to get it done
00:19:32.658 --> 00:19:33.458
But i had to get it done by 4 o'clock.
00:19:33.525 --> 00:19:34.493
By 4 o'clock. i'm out there
00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:35.093
I'm out there just killing myself,
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.229
Just killing myself, all of a sudden --
00:19:37.296 --> 00:19:37.963
All of a sudden -- now, i need to set
00:19:38.030 --> 00:19:38.764
Now, i need to set this up for you.
00:19:38.830 --> 00:19:39.765
This up for you. the pet cemetery
00:19:39.831 --> 00:19:41.300
The pet cemetery was right next
00:19:41.366 --> 00:19:41.900
Was right next to people cemetery.
00:19:41.967 --> 00:19:45.137
To people cemetery. just right there,
00:19:45.204 --> 00:19:45.704
Just right there, you can see it.
00:19:45.771 --> 00:19:47.272
You can see it. at the people cemetery,
00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:49.474
At the people cemetery, they had better equipment
00:19:49.541 --> 00:19:51.510
They had better equipment than at the pet cemetery,
00:19:51.577 --> 00:19:53.845
Than at the pet cemetery, and i would always watch
00:19:53.912 --> 00:19:54.680
And i would always watch this guy named charles,
00:19:54.746 --> 00:19:56.848
This guy named charles, he would dig
00:19:56.915 --> 00:19:57.282
He would dig the graves over there
00:19:57.349 --> 00:19:58.650
The graves over there with a big, heavy machinery.
00:19:58.717 --> 00:20:00.552
With a big, heavy machinery. like a backhoe.
00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:02.187
Like a backhoe. and i would always
00:20:02.254 --> 00:20:02.721
And i would always lust after
00:20:02.788 --> 00:20:05.390
Lust after that while i was out there.
00:20:05.457 --> 00:20:07.559
That while i was out there. but one glad day,
00:20:07.626 --> 00:20:11.663
But one glad day, while i was --
00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:12.764
While i was -- i'm literally out there
00:20:12.831 --> 00:20:13.865
I'm literally out there going like, “man,
00:20:13.932 --> 00:20:14.499
I should've made eric
00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:15.200
I should've made eric come with me today.
00:20:15.267 --> 00:20:16.101
Come with me today. this is horrible.
00:20:16.168 --> 00:20:16.835
This is horrible. it sucks.
00:20:16.902 --> 00:20:17.269
It sucks. i hate my life.”
00:20:17.336 --> 00:20:18.370
I hate my life.” thinking about throwing
00:20:18.437 --> 00:20:19.071
Thinking about throwing my pager in that grave
00:20:19.137 --> 00:20:20.072
My pager in that grave and jumping in there
00:20:20.138 --> 00:20:20.806
And jumping in there with the dog.
00:20:20.872 --> 00:20:21.607
With the dog. [laughter]
00:20:21.673 --> 00:20:23.475
[laughter] and i'm out there...
00:20:23.542 --> 00:20:24.910
And i'm out there... [heavy breathing]
00:20:24.977 --> 00:20:26.845
[heavy breathing] but here comes --
00:20:26.912 --> 00:20:27.679
But here comes -- here comes charles
00:20:27.746 --> 00:20:29.715
On the backhoe,
00:20:29.815 --> 00:20:31.483
On the backhoe, and he's coming over
00:20:31.550 --> 00:20:33.018
And he's coming over and i'm like,
00:20:33.085 --> 00:20:33.518
And i'm like, “no way.
00:20:33.585 --> 00:20:35.821
“no way. no way.
00:20:35.887 --> 00:20:37.656
No way. this is what
00:20:37.723 --> 00:20:38.557
This is what i've always imagined.”
00:20:38.624 --> 00:20:43.962
I've always imagined.” he pulls up,
00:20:44.029 --> 00:20:45.197
He pulls up, he doesn't even
00:20:45.264 --> 00:20:45.931
He doesn't even say anything.
00:20:45.998 --> 00:20:47.933
Say anything. i just step aside,
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.069
I just step aside, he doesn't even say anything.
00:20:51.136 --> 00:20:53.472
He doesn't even say anything. he just starts moving stuff.
00:20:53.538 --> 00:20:56.808
He just starts moving stuff. he just starts moving stuff.
00:20:56.875 --> 00:20:59.044
He just starts moving stuff. yeah, he just starts

Yeah, he just starts moving stuff.
00:21:05.017 --> 00:21:07.586
Moving stuff. twenty minutes later,
00:21:07.653 --> 00:21:09.821
Twenty minutes later, we had a hole.
00:21:09.888 --> 00:21:11.890
We had a hole. what did i do?
00:21:11.957 --> 00:21:12.891
What did i do? i stood there
00:21:12.958 --> 00:21:13.458
I stood there and pretended to be helping.
00:21:13.525 --> 00:21:14.926
And pretended to be helping. [laughter]
00:21:14.993 --> 00:21:17.629
[laughter] i just stood there
00:21:17.696 --> 00:21:18.530
I just stood there and just...
00:21:18.597 --> 00:21:20.866
And just... and just prayed
00:21:20.932 --> 00:21:21.733
And just prayed that he wouldn't leave.
00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:22.968
That he wouldn't leave. “just stay, charles.
00:21:23.035 --> 00:21:24.002

I love you, charles.” charles a big guy too.
00:21:29.441 --> 00:21:30.542
Charles a big guy too. he was short,
00:21:30.609 --> 00:21:31.443
He was short, but he was stout.
00:21:31.510 --> 00:21:32.044
But he was stout. charles is all that,
00:21:32.110 --> 00:21:32.778
Charles is all that, but he didn't need
00:21:32.844 --> 00:21:33.378
But he didn't need those muscles
00:21:33.445 --> 00:21:34.179
Those muscles ‘cause he had something
00:21:34.246 --> 00:21:35.681
‘cause he had something that i didn't have
00:21:35.747 --> 00:21:37.015
That i didn't have before he showed up.
00:21:37.082 --> 00:21:38.450

That i've ever been given. what do i owe you?”
00:21:57.502 --> 00:21:58.570
What do i owe you?” i thought he would
00:21:58.637 --> 00:21:59.137
I thought he would want a cut.
00:21:59.204 --> 00:21:59.705
Want a cut. you know, 15%
00:21:59.771 --> 00:22:00.639
You know, 15% on the first grave,
00:22:00.706 --> 00:22:01.907
On the first grave, after each additional
00:22:01.973 --> 00:22:02.941
After each additional grave 20%.
00:22:03.008 --> 00:22:04.142
Grave 20%. i thought he was running
00:22:04.209 --> 00:22:05.077
I thought he was running a side hustle.
00:22:05.143 --> 00:22:05.844
A side hustle. charles said, “no,
00:22:05.911 --> 00:22:06.812
Charles said, “no, i don't want anything.
00:22:06.878 --> 00:22:07.646
I don't want anything. i saw you struggling...

I saw you sweating. i saw you out here
00:22:19.358 --> 00:22:21.593
I saw you out here doing everything
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:22.994
Doing everything that you could do
00:22:23.061 --> 00:22:25.230
That you could do with what you have.
00:22:25.297 --> 00:22:27.466
With what you have. and i thought to myself,
00:22:27.532 --> 00:22:29.101
And i thought to myself, “he could dig all day
00:22:29.167 --> 00:22:30.502
“he could dig all day and not get this done.
00:22:30.569 --> 00:22:32.938
And not get this done. so, i decided, if he'll let me,
00:22:33.004 --> 00:22:36.441
So, i decided, if he'll let me, i'm gonna help him.”
00:22:36.508 --> 00:22:38.910
I'm gonna help him.” i said, “charles,

I said, “charles, i will be the best letter
00:22:40.379 --> 00:22:42.547
I will be the best letter that you've ever met
00:22:42.614 --> 00:22:43.949
That you've ever met in your life.

>> so, i want you to take just a moment
00:23:33.532 --> 00:23:34.399
To take just a moment and think about
00:23:34.466 --> 00:23:35.100
And think about that area in your life,
00:23:35.167 --> 00:23:36.802
That area in your life, that situation in your life
00:23:36.868 --> 00:23:38.637
That situation in your life where you're having
00:23:38.703 --> 00:23:39.504
Where you're having the hardest time
00:23:39.571 --> 00:23:40.705
The hardest time trusting god right now.
00:23:40.772 --> 00:23:42.541
Trusting god right now. i mean, turning over
00:23:42.607 --> 00:23:43.408
I mean, turning over the results to him.
00:23:43.475 --> 00:23:44.876
The results to him. i don't mean
00:23:44.943 --> 00:23:45.277
I don't mean that you're not
00:23:45.343 --> 00:23:46.244
That you're not doing everything you can do
00:23:46.311 --> 00:23:47.946
Doing everything you can do but there comes a point
00:23:48.013 --> 00:23:49.047
But there comes a point where you have to say,
00:23:49.114 --> 00:23:49.948
Where you have to say, "god, i trust you
00:23:50.015 --> 00:23:51.183
"god, i trust you with my finances.
00:23:51.249 --> 00:23:52.484
With my finances. i trust you with my family.
00:23:52.551 --> 00:23:54.252
I trust you with my family. i trust you with my future.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.354
I trust you with my future. i trust you to set me free
00:23:56.421 --> 00:23:58.190
I trust you to set me free from this thing
00:23:58.256 --> 00:23:59.090
From this thing that has had me
00:23:59.157 --> 00:23:59.758
That has had me held down for so long."
00:23:59.825 --> 00:24:00.992
Held down for so long." and if that's
00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:01.493
And if that's where you are today,
00:24:01.560 --> 00:24:02.627
Where you are today, i have a resource for you.
00:24:02.694 --> 00:24:04.262
