The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Are You Coachable? | July 19, 2026
- We can't grow and mature in him
- 00:00:01.324 --> 00:00:04.661
- And his parents of freedom and the privilege and the joy
- 00:00:04.661 --> 00:00:08.431
- And of life that he want for all of his sons and daughters.
- 00:00:08.431 --> 00:00:12.135
- Because some of us are look at it, we are not coachable.
- 00:00:12.135 --> 00:00:18.241
- I don't want to be coached.
- 00:00:18.842 --> 00:00:20.777
- I mean, i'm going to run my own life.
- 00:00:20.777 --> 00:00:23.213
- I'm just like this and i can't change.
- 00:00:23.213 --> 00:00:26.416
- I was what my daddy was like this.
- 00:00:26.416 --> 00:00:28.518
- My goodness, you think we're not coachable?
- 00:00:28.518 --> 00:00:49.172
- God desires
- 00:00:49.506 --> 00:00:51.474
- To coach you and coach me.
- 00:00:51.474 --> 00:00:54.177
- When i was 11 years old.
- 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:56.846
- My english teacher took me out of line and church
- 00:00:56.846 --> 00:01:00.850
- Took me over to one side,
- 00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:03.353
- Asked me about jesus, said, do you believe this?
- 00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:06.356
- And i said, yes.
- 00:01:06.356 --> 00:01:07.790
- I became a christian.
- 00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:09.459
- I publicly profess my faith.
- 00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.794
- I was baptized, and at that moment
- 00:01:11.794 --> 00:01:15.498
- I was reconciled with god.
- 00:01:15.498 --> 00:01:19.035
- I didn't know what the word reconciled meant.
- 00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:21.971
- I couldn't spell reconcile.
- 00:01:21.971 --> 00:01:24.607
- But let me show you the scripture that backed up
- 00:01:24.607 --> 00:01:27.577
- What happened when i signed up to be on the team of
- 00:01:27.577 --> 00:01:31.548
- Jesus christ said corinthians chapter five, verse 17.
- 00:01:31.548 --> 00:01:36.252
- Therefore, if anyone is in christ,
- 00:01:36.252 --> 00:01:38.388
- He is a new creature, old things passed away.
- 00:01:38.388 --> 00:01:41.891
- Behold, all things, all new things have come.
- 00:01:41.891 --> 00:01:44.827
- Verse 18 now all these things are from god,
- 00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:48.431
- Who there's our word, reconcile us to himself through christ,
- 00:01:48.431 --> 00:01:53.570
- And gave us then the ministry of reconciliation.
- 00:01:53.570 --> 00:01:58.942
- What does it mean to be reconciled?
- 00:01:58.942 --> 00:02:01.044
- It means to change, to make things right.
- 00:02:01.044 --> 00:02:04.347
- When our check stubs do not match what the bank says
- 00:02:04.347 --> 00:02:08.651
- We have, it must be some reconciliation, right?
- 00:02:08.651 --> 00:02:13.489
- When there's conflict,
- 00:02:13.489 --> 00:02:14.857
- There has to be reconciliation sometime a mediator.
- 00:02:14.857 --> 00:02:18.428
- So that is the first step.
- 00:02:18.428 --> 00:02:20.863
- We sign up and we say, i understand jesus christ on
- 00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:26.436
- That cross has made atonement for my sins and your sins.
- 00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:30.473
- And we are right with god, and god is right with us.
- 00:02:30.473 --> 00:02:34.310
- That is salvation.
- 00:02:34.310 --> 00:02:35.812
- That is reconciliation.
- 00:02:35.812 --> 00:02:39.182
- First step, we sign up, right?
- 00:02:39.182 --> 00:02:41.150
- We we say, christ, i receive you.
- 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.686
- We sign up.
- 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:45.288
- All right.
- 00:02:45.288 --> 00:02:45.822
- Look at the next step.
- 00:02:45.822 --> 00:02:46.789
- I'm 18 years old.
- 00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:48.091
- University of alabama freshman.
- 00:02:48.091 --> 00:02:50.827
- Little life at 2 a.m.
- 00:02:51.327 --> 00:02:52.462
- In the morning. i'm walking.
- 00:02:52.462 --> 00:02:53.863
- I end up on a big old stump, a big oak tree.
- 00:02:53.863 --> 00:02:56.766
- It just died.
- 00:02:56.766 --> 00:02:57.967
- And they had a giant stump out there on an athletic field.
- 00:02:57.967 --> 00:03:02.138
- And i was a contemporary with bart starr.
- 00:03:02.138 --> 00:03:05.141
- He was the backup quarterback
- 00:03:05.141 --> 00:03:07.110
- At alabama when i was there, if, you know, nfl football.
- 00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:10.179
- And so i sat down on that stump little life to 2 a.m.
- 00:03:10.179 --> 00:03:15.018
- And i looked in the heavens
- 00:03:15.018 --> 00:03:16.452
- And god came close and i fell on my knees.
- 00:03:16.452 --> 00:03:19.689
- And i
- 00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:20.890
- Said, lord, i give you all that i am and all that ever be.
- 00:03:20.890 --> 00:03:23.626
- That began a process of formation in my life.
- 00:03:23.626 --> 00:03:28.564
- Other words, i signed up.
- 00:03:28.564 --> 00:03:30.700
- Jesus came.
- 00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:31.901
- He is my coach now.
- 00:03:31.901 --> 00:03:33.236
- He is coaching me
- 00:03:33.236 --> 00:03:35.004
- That sanctification. that's formation.
- 00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:37.373
- Where is the scripture for that?
- 00:03:37.373 --> 00:03:38.808
- I didn't know it then.
- 00:03:38.808 --> 00:03:40.009
- Here it is, romans
- 00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:44.147
- Chapter number 12.
- 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:48.151
- My book bible almost always opens the romans.
- 00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:50.887
- I don't know why.
- 00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:52.588
- Therefore, i urge you, brethren,
- 00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:54.924
- By the mercies of god, to present your bodies
- 00:03:54.924 --> 00:03:58.728
- A living and holy sacrifice acceptable to god,
- 00:03:58.728 --> 00:04:01.731
- Which is your spiritual service of worship.
- 00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.766
- Here it is, and be not conform to the world.
- 00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:08.104
- In other words, prior to signing up to jesus christ,
- 00:04:08.104 --> 00:04:11.708
- You and i were conformed to the world.
- 00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:14.110
- Now we're to be formed to christ.
- 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:17.647
- We're to be formed to his kingdom.
- 00:04:17.647 --> 00:04:20.283
- He is reshaping us that that that's growth and maturity.
- 00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:25.488
- We are being formed, and we have all the ways
- 00:04:25.488 --> 00:04:29.192
- In which we're being formed,
- 00:04:29.192 --> 00:04:30.526
- The different modes in which we're being formed.
- 00:04:30.526 --> 00:04:33.396
- That is the academic mode.
- 00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:35.264
- We read and study the bible.
- 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:37.333
- We understand this scripture, we memorize this verse,
- 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:40.269
- We study the background of this word.
- 00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:42.372
- We see the context of it.
- 00:04:42.372 --> 00:04:44.374
- And therefore that is an academic growth, isn't it?
- 00:04:44.374 --> 00:04:48.144
- Understanding starting the bible.
- 00:04:48.144 --> 00:04:49.712
- Some people specialize in that.
- 00:04:49.712 --> 00:04:52.115
- Others there is a spiritual mode,
- 00:04:52.115 --> 00:04:54.350
- That is prayer, that is fasting,
- 00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:56.819
- That is giving, that is sacrifice.
- 00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:59.422
- There is a spiritual mode in which we grow.
- 00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:03.226
- Also, there is a social area in which we grow.
- 00:05:03.226 --> 00:05:06.396
- We help others, we we feed, we clothe, we reach out,
- 00:05:06.396 --> 00:05:10.700
- We visit, we encourage a cup of cold water.
- 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:14.404
- We give our coat.
- 00:05:14.404 --> 00:05:16.706
- So there is a social area in which we grow.
- 00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:20.576
- And then there's
- 00:05:20.576 --> 00:05:21.644
- A character area in which we grow in being formed.
- 00:05:21.644 --> 00:05:25.348
- You see it a character love, joy, peace, gentleness,
- 00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:29.452
- Kindness, patience, goodness,
- 00:05:30.086 --> 00:05:32.922
- Long suffering,
- 00:05:33.289 --> 00:05:35.024
- Faithfulness, discipline, all these things.
- 00:05:35.024 --> 00:05:37.927
- This is a character, part of our growth.
- 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:40.496
- This is all being formed in the image of christ.
- 00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:43.699
- And look at the end result.
- 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:45.134
- What is our goal?
- 00:05:45.134 --> 00:05:46.335
- And we'll talk about this more when we when we score it says,
- 00:05:46.335 --> 00:05:50.706
- Do not be conformed, but be form to the form
- 00:05:50.706 --> 00:05:53.609
- To christ, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
- 00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:58.014
- So that you may prove what the will of god is
- 00:05:58.014 --> 00:06:00.817
- That is good and acceptable and perfect.
- 00:06:00.817 --> 00:06:03.486
- There's a third word is transformation.
- 00:06:03.486 --> 00:06:06.956
- Transformation.
- 00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:08.591
- We're reconciled and we're being formed.
- 00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:11.527
- The coach's forming the life that he has
- 00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:14.497
- For you and me and us.
- 00:06:14.497 --> 00:06:15.698
- And then there is this dramatic ending.
- 00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:19.168
- There is a transformation.
- 00:06:19.168 --> 00:06:21.304
- What's the transformation?
- 00:06:21.304 --> 00:06:22.472
- We're developing the mind of christ.
- 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.874
- I do that because it's natural.
- 00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:27.310
- It's built in.
- 00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:28.411
- I don't do that because the mind is speaking to me.
- 00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:31.614
- See, that's our goal,
- 00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:32.849
- That we want to develop the mind of christ.
- 00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:34.984
- And in developing that,
- 00:06:34.984 --> 00:06:36.052
- We end up in the perfect will and plan of god.
- 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:40.690
- That's our goal.
- 00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:42.725
- He didn't just put you together accidentally.
- 00:06:42.725 --> 00:06:45.695
- He said, hey, i've got something just unique
- 00:06:45.695 --> 00:06:49.532
- For you in your life.
- 00:06:49.532 --> 00:06:51.167
- And so that is the process of being transformed.
- 00:06:51.167 --> 00:06:56.873
- Transformed.
- 00:06:57.206 --> 00:06:59.542
- What's it going to take to get you and me ready
- 00:06:59.542 --> 00:07:02.845
- To be coached by christ?
- 00:07:02.845 --> 00:07:05.948
- What's going to take you see,
- 00:07:05.948 --> 00:07:09.385
- We can't grow and mature in him
- 00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:13.356
- And his parents of freedom and the privilege and the joy
- 00:07:13.356 --> 00:07:17.126
- And of life that he want for all of his sons and daughters.
- 00:07:17.126 --> 00:07:20.830
- Because some of us are look at it, we are not coachable.
- 00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:26.936
- I don't want to be coached.
- 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:29.472
- I mean, i'm going to run my own life.
- 00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:31.908
- I'm just like this and i can't change.
- 00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:35.111
- I was what my daddy was like this.
- 00:07:35.111 --> 00:07:37.213
- My goodness, you think we're not coachable?
- 00:07:37.213 --> 00:07:40.883
- Be honest about it.
- 00:07:40.883 --> 00:07:42.451
- Some of us are selectively coachable.
- 00:07:42.451 --> 00:07:45.187
- We just selectively well, i'll do the lord.
- 00:07:45.187 --> 00:07:48.291
- You can come in my den and run anything in the den,
- 00:07:48.291 --> 00:07:51.294
- But there's a closet i don't want you to get into.
- 00:07:51.294 --> 00:07:54.664
- And there's something under the bed.
- 00:07:54.664 --> 00:07:56.499
- Don't look under the mattress.
- 00:07:56.499 --> 00:07:57.733
- Lord, i that's that's sort of i see
- 00:07:57.733 --> 00:08:00.536
- We we selectively let him deal with parts of our lives.
- 00:08:00.536 --> 00:08:04.140
- Then some of us are reluctantly coach.
- 00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:06.275
- Well, i know he should coach me.
- 00:08:06.275 --> 00:08:08.010
- And i believe all this is true.
- 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.146
- The principles of of scripture.
- 00:08:10.146 --> 00:08:12.248
- But, you know, i'm i'm reluctant.
- 00:08:12.248 --> 00:08:14.850
- I'm going to hang in here for a while,
- 00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:16.986
- But i'll bail out if it gets too tough.
- 00:08:16.986 --> 00:08:20.222
- And i think i'm missing something.
- 00:08:20.222 --> 00:08:23.526
- But some are completely coachable.
- 00:08:23.526 --> 00:08:26.495
- That's what we've got to.
- 00:08:27.063 --> 00:08:28.898
- That's where we've got to get and say, lord.
- 00:08:28.898 --> 00:08:33.102
- Here it is.
- 00:08:33.436 --> 00:08:36.272
- I put it all on the altar.
- 00:08:36.272 --> 00:08:39.008
- I you take my life and let it be consecrated,
- 00:08:39.008 --> 00:08:43.779
- Lord, to thee i surrender all.
- 00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:47.383
- I want to be completely coachable.
- 00:08:47.383 --> 00:08:50.486
- Those who reach that posture
- 00:08:51.087 --> 00:08:54.256
- And follow through on that.
- 00:08:54.256 --> 00:08:57.126
- All the things and people and situations that are bullying
- 00:08:57.126 --> 00:09:01.897
- Your life will no longer be able to stand.
- 00:09:01.897 --> 00:09:06.002
- We have to become
- 00:09:06.435 --> 00:09:08.537
- Completely coachable.
- 00:09:08.537 --> 00:09:11.707
- Now we see in the scripture
- 00:09:12.308 --> 00:09:16.278
- That in matthew chapter 11
- 00:09:16.846 --> 00:09:20.816
- How god is calling us, calling people to be on his team.
- 00:09:20.816 --> 00:09:25.855
- Look at it with me.
- 00:09:25.855 --> 00:09:26.756
- Matthew 11, very familiar verse, verse 28.
- 00:09:26.756 --> 00:09:31.661
- First of all, he says, come to me, all
- 00:09:31.661 --> 00:09:35.464
- Who are weary and heavy laden, and i will give you rest.
- 00:09:35.464 --> 00:09:39.235
- That's the invitation.
- 00:09:39.235 --> 00:09:41.604
- This past wednesday.
- 00:09:41.604 --> 00:09:43.873
- Last wednesday was signing day for all high school athletes
- 00:09:43.873 --> 00:09:48.844
- Who would be scholarship athletes in college.
- 00:09:48.844 --> 00:09:51.647
- They had to decide on where they'd go.
- 00:09:51.647 --> 00:09:53.049
- How many of you knew that?
- 00:09:53.049 --> 00:09:53.983
- Lift your head.
- 00:09:53.983 --> 00:09:55.084
- Yeah, they signed up.
- 00:09:55.084 --> 00:09:57.586
- They could talk about
- 00:09:57.586 --> 00:09:58.654
- Going to this school or that school or whatever.
- 00:09:58.654 --> 00:10:00.923
- But this past wednesday, they had to sign up and say,
- 00:10:00.923 --> 00:10:04.894
- This is where i am going.
- 00:10:04.894 --> 00:10:07.563
- And they signed up and made that selection of their team.
- 00:10:07.563 --> 00:10:12.568
- This is what this invitation jesus has given invitation
- 00:10:12.568 --> 00:10:16.038
- To everybody.
- 00:10:16.038 --> 00:10:16.706
- He says, come, come unto me.
- 00:10:16.706 --> 00:10:20.476
- Sign up with me now.
- 00:10:20.476 --> 00:10:23.846
- Most of you follow football.
- 00:10:23.846 --> 00:10:26.649
- Know that nick saban, coach university, alabama
- 00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:29.852
- For many years, for many,
- 00:10:29.852 --> 00:10:33.189
- Many years has signed up.
- 00:10:33.189 --> 00:10:36.792
- The cream of the crop right when they rank their one
- 00:10:36.792 --> 00:10:39.328
- Or second the school that has signed the greatest athletes.
- 00:10:39.328 --> 00:10:44.500
- And you say, i wonder how that happens.
- 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:46.569
- Maybe he pays them off.
- 00:10:46.569 --> 00:10:49.538
- Maybe they give their uncle a job or,
- 00:10:49.538 --> 00:10:53.743
- You know, how does he do that year in, year out?
- 00:10:53.743 --> 00:10:57.246
- Same school. how does it happen?
- 00:10:57.246 --> 00:10:59.949
- And there's a thing, carol, all the seven deep principles
- 00:10:59.949 --> 00:11:04.386
- That saban uses at university of alabama,
- 00:11:04.386 --> 00:11:07.256
- They have people who look at every athlete.
- 00:11:07.256 --> 00:11:10.459
- And they first of all look at these qualities.
- 00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:13.429
- They give a character study.
- 00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:15.698
- Does this young man
- 00:11:15.698 --> 00:11:17.032
- Or this young woman in other sports would say,
- 00:11:17.032 --> 00:11:20.369
- Does this man, young man have the character,
- 00:11:20.369 --> 00:11:25.508
- The right stuff, honesty that we need to be on our team.
- 00:11:25.508 --> 00:11:29.578
- They don't want anybody that doesn't have character.
- 00:11:29.578 --> 00:11:32.148
- And then they study the life of this young man,
- 00:11:32.148 --> 00:11:34.817
- Unknown to him many times and see who influences him.
- 00:11:34.817 --> 00:11:39.755
- Is it his mother, his dad, his grandparents, a friend?
- 00:11:39.755 --> 00:11:43.492
- A group, an organization who influences this young man?
- 00:11:43.492 --> 00:11:47.630
- They see how important that is, whose?
- 00:11:47.630 --> 00:11:49.932
- His influences.
- 00:11:49.932 --> 00:11:51.267
- And they check his intelligence.
- 00:11:51.267 --> 00:11:53.769
- You know, is he smart enough
- 00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:55.971
- To understand the complexity of a college education?
- 00:11:55.971 --> 00:11:59.942
- Does he give himself enough?
- 00:11:59.942 --> 00:12:01.343
- When you get on the line
- 00:12:01.343 --> 00:12:02.511
- Of scrimmage and they make those multiplicity of calls?
- 00:12:02.511 --> 00:12:05.915
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:12:05.915 --> 00:12:07.883
- Some of you know this, some do not being on a
- 00:12:07.883 --> 00:12:12.188
- Even a high school team, let alone a college team,
- 00:12:12.188 --> 00:12:15.090
- A professional team, just to know the plays
- 00:12:15.090 --> 00:12:18.227
- And understand what to do is highly, highly complex,
- 00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:24.133
- Highly complex.
- 00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:26.669
- And when they call the plays and the pro,
- 00:12:26.669 --> 00:12:29.138
- Sometimes the names are five or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 names,
- 00:12:29.138 --> 00:12:32.942
- Which is telling people what all is going on,
- 00:12:32.942 --> 00:12:34.977
- And then they all of a sudden that line is coming
- 00:12:34.977 --> 00:12:37.146
- Sometime change the plays.
- 00:12:37.146 --> 00:12:39.715
- The coaches told him, the quarterback in his helmet.
- 00:12:39.715 --> 00:12:42.051
- Then they have a certain amount
- 00:12:42.051 --> 00:12:43.152
- Of time the quarterback can change.
- 00:12:43.152 --> 00:12:44.620
- It is so they want to make sure these young men,
- 00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:47.423
- Whatever their position,
- 00:12:47.423 --> 00:12:48.891
- Have intelligence and they check their personality.
- 00:12:48.891 --> 00:12:52.428
- This person a leader
- 00:12:52.428 --> 00:12:54.096
- Or is this person on the team who is a cheerleader?
- 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:56.498
- You need both on your athletic teams.
- 00:12:56.498 --> 00:12:58.734
- So they look at his personality,
- 00:12:58.734 --> 00:13:00.536
- Introverted, extroverted, how he'll fit in
- 00:13:00.536 --> 00:13:03.873
- And they look his teachable, his teachable.
- 00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:07.042
- Somebody say, i'm going to do it right now.
- 00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:10.446
- In high school,
- 00:13:10.446 --> 00:13:11.680
- A super athlete can pretty well get by on their athleticism.
- 00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:14.984
- They don't have to listen to coaches.
- 00:13:14.984 --> 00:13:16.252
- I'm going to do it my way.
- 00:13:16.252 --> 00:13:18.187
- You get in college, it changes.
- 00:13:18.187 --> 00:13:20.556
- Are they teachable?
- 00:13:20.556 --> 00:13:22.191
- Do they listen?
- 00:13:22.191 --> 00:13:23.626
- Do they follow through sportsmanship?
- 00:13:23.626 --> 00:13:26.829
- Somebody is all in it for myself.
- 00:13:26.829 --> 00:13:29.665
- Look at me.
- 00:13:29.665 --> 00:13:31.700
- Always amazes me when a lineman sacks
- 00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:34.904
- A quarterback,
- 00:13:34.904 --> 00:13:36.038
- When his team is behind 40 points in the fourth quarter
- 00:13:36.038 --> 00:13:39.875
- And he runs around like, i don't understand that.
- 00:13:39.875 --> 00:13:42.144
- I can't buy into that.
- 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:44.647
- They weren't all about sportsmanship.
- 00:13:44.647 --> 00:13:46.749
- That's what saban looks at then.
- 00:13:46.749 --> 00:13:48.584
- Dependability.
- 00:13:48.584 --> 00:13:50.819
- Can you depend on this young man.
- 00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:52.621
- Will he show up? is he accurate?
- 00:13:52.621 --> 00:13:54.423
- Is he on time? he says something.
- 00:13:54.423 --> 00:13:56.425
- Will he do it?
- 00:13:56.425 --> 00:13:58.327
- God does not
- 00:13:58.661 --> 00:14:00.863
- Recruit anything like that.
- 00:14:00.863 --> 00:14:03.832
- As we approach our fiscal
- 00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:06.068
- Year end on july the 31st.
- 00:14:06.068 --> 00:14:08.904
- We're also approaching a historic milestone.
- 00:14:08.904 --> 00:14:12.274
- Think about it.
- 00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:13.542
- America's 250th anniversary.
- 00:14:13.542 --> 00:14:17.780
- And as we reflect on what built this nation
- 00:14:17.780 --> 00:14:21.116
- Faith, family and freedom,
- 00:14:21.116 --> 00:14:23.986
- Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
- 00:14:23.986 --> 00:14:28.257
- Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
- 00:14:28.257 --> 00:14:31.360
- As we live under the banner of america,
- 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.663
- We also recognize something deeply wrong.
- 00:14:34.663 --> 00:14:38.534
- Biblical truth is being challenged.
- 00:14:38.534 --> 00:14:41.637
- Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
- 00:14:41.637 --> 00:14:45.040
- At the center of our culture.
- 00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:47.743
- Now it's our turn.
- 00:14:47.743 --> 00:14:49.745
- Our turn to stand for what matters most.
- 00:14:49.745 --> 00:14:52.881
- Listen, when you request this much resource,
- 00:14:52.881 --> 00:14:56.418
- You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
- 00:14:56.418 --> 00:14:59.621
- Strengthen families,
- 00:14:59.621 --> 00:15:00.622
- And advance faith across this great nation.
- 00:15:00.622 --> 00:15:03.692
- As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
- 00:15:03.692 --> 00:15:07.663
- Copy of my book, healing broken america,
- 00:15:07.663 --> 00:15:11.333
- A book that i have written to help us understand
- 00:15:11.333 --> 00:15:14.403
- And to navigate our way through all the challenges
- 00:15:14.403 --> 00:15:18.207
- Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
- 00:15:18.207 --> 00:15:22.544
- Year end.
- 00:15:22.544 --> 00:15:23.612
- I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
- 00:15:23.612 --> 00:15:26.682
- Consider a gift of $250,
- 00:15:26.682 --> 00:15:30.619
- Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
- 00:15:30.619 --> 00:15:34.289
- For every year of our nation's existence.
- 00:15:34.289 --> 00:15:37.426
- We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
- 00:15:37.426 --> 00:15:40.996
- To be broadcast around the world.
- 00:15:40.996 --> 00:15:44.266
- Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
- 00:15:44.266 --> 00:15:47.236
- Encouragement, and meaning across america.
- 00:15:47.236 --> 00:15:50.773
- So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
- 00:15:50.773 --> 00:15:53.809
- And revival in our great nation.
- 00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:57.546
- For if america would catch far for christ,
- 00:15:57.546 --> 00:16:00.182
- It would touch the entire world.
- 00:16:00.182 --> 00:16:02.718
- Thank you.
- 00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:04.386
- Making this possible with your participation
- 00:16:04.386 --> 00:16:07.423
- In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
- 00:16:07.423 --> 00:16:21.270
- Did you get that?
- 00:16:21.703 --> 00:16:23.605
- Thank goodness.
- 00:16:23.605 --> 00:16:25.874
- He says, come unto me,
- 00:16:25.874 --> 00:16:28.677
- All ye that labor and are heavy laden.
- 00:16:28.677 --> 00:16:32.281
- If he recruited like that,
- 00:16:32.281 --> 00:16:35.084
- I would never have gotten on his team.
- 00:16:35.084 --> 00:16:39.588
- You wouldn't either.
- 00:16:40.055 --> 00:16:42.458
- If you're weary
- 00:16:42.458 --> 00:16:44.726
- With the old life, if you're heavy laden
- 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:47.463
- With trying to keep rules and follow,
- 00:16:47.463 --> 00:16:49.998
- If you're just burdened down with life,
- 00:16:49.998 --> 00:16:53.202
- Jesus says, come unto me.
- 00:16:53.202 --> 00:16:55.337
- Sign up and let me be your coach.
- 00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:58.841
- Come unto me, all ye that labor and heavy laden,
- 00:16:58.841 --> 00:17:01.443
- And i'll take the pressure off your life, and you'll have
- 00:17:01.443 --> 00:17:04.713
- Rest.
- 00:17:04.713 --> 00:17:07.516
- Come sign up.
- 00:17:07.883 --> 00:17:11.553
- It's a part of being coachable.
- 00:17:12.187 --> 00:17:13.522
- That's the first step.
- 00:17:13.522 --> 00:17:16.191
- Then he says, take my yoke upon you.
- 00:17:16.191 --> 00:17:19.828
- Take up my yoke upon you.
- 00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:23.165
- You sign and then you take.
- 00:17:23.765 --> 00:17:26.902
- And what does that mean?
- 00:17:26.902 --> 00:17:28.670
- If you're going to pick up a yoke,
- 00:17:28.670 --> 00:17:30.072
- A yoke, you know, is something they put around animals.
- 00:17:30.072 --> 00:17:33.976
- And when that animal has a yoke around them,
- 00:17:33.976 --> 00:17:36.745
- You can control them and their yoke with another animal.
- 00:17:36.745 --> 00:17:40.382
- They're taking oxen, who is an old veteran oxen,
- 00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:43.552
- And yoke that old
- 00:17:43.552 --> 00:17:44.753
- Oxen up with a young oxen, and they'll be trained together.
- 00:17:44.753 --> 00:17:48.056
- Jesus is saying, in other words, you sign up on my team
- 00:17:48.056 --> 00:17:51.660
- And i'm going to be yoked together with you.
- 00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:54.796
- We're pulled together.
- 00:17:55.264 --> 00:17:57.332
- I'll be an example.
- 00:17:57.332 --> 00:17:58.634
- I'll be that kind of coach.
- 00:17:58.634 --> 00:18:00.002
- I'll come along your side.
- 00:18:00.002 --> 00:18:01.737
- I'll carry my part of the load.
- 00:18:01.737 --> 00:18:03.539
- And i'll tell you
- 00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:06.208
- The word in greek that says jesus was a carpenter.
- 00:18:06.208 --> 00:18:09.978
- Also is a word for a craftsman, a craftsman.
- 00:18:09.978 --> 00:18:14.816
- And someone said over his carpenter's shop
- 00:18:14.816 --> 00:18:17.953
- It said, my yokes fit well.
- 00:18:17.953 --> 00:18:21.623
- In other words, there wasn't any rubbing the neck.
- 00:18:22.658 --> 00:18:24.826
- It wasn't too much weight, too little weight.
- 00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:27.196
- They just fit.
- 00:18:27.196 --> 00:18:28.030
- And we say, take my yoke upon you.
- 00:18:28.030 --> 00:18:31.166
- If we pick up his yoke, if we take on his yoke,
- 00:18:31.166 --> 00:18:34.403
- We gotta take off something first, don't we?
- 00:18:34.403 --> 00:18:36.939
- We we yoke together to something.
- 00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:38.840
- Everybody's yoked.
- 00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:39.942
- Everybody has an audience.
- 00:18:39.942 --> 00:18:42.277
- Everybody has somebody who want to please everybody.
- 00:18:42.277 --> 00:18:44.580
- Somebody we're playing
- 00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:45.781
- To, well, whoever, whatever it might be a group,
- 00:18:45.781 --> 00:18:48.684
- An individual.
- 00:18:48.684 --> 00:18:49.618
- But now we take off that yoke
- 00:18:49.618 --> 00:18:52.554
- And we put on this yoke.
- 00:18:52.554 --> 00:18:55.591
- He said, take my yoke.
- 00:18:56.058 --> 00:19:00.229
- Oh, we can't say, well, you know,
- 00:19:00.963 --> 00:19:02.864
- Somebody told me that i should live like this,
- 00:19:02.864 --> 00:19:05.367
- And i read an opinion in a magazine.
- 00:19:05.367 --> 00:19:07.336
- I would do this.
- 00:19:07.336 --> 00:19:08.270
- And i have no, no, no, he says, take my yoke,
- 00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:11.340
- Get under my tutor.
- 00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:12.674
- Let me be your mentor.
- 00:19:12.674 --> 00:19:14.476
- And the wonderful thing about jesus,
- 00:19:14.476 --> 00:19:16.378
- He doesn't just say, this is how it ought to be.
- 00:19:16.378 --> 00:19:18.780
- Like a lot of gurus in history, he says, i'm
- 00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:22.150
- Demonstrating in my life had ought to be.
- 00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:25.287
- I'll be yoked together with you.
- 00:19:25.287 --> 00:19:29.524
- And then we please only
- 00:19:30.025 --> 00:19:33.695
- Him when i try to please anybody else.
- 00:19:33.695 --> 00:19:37.399
- Somebody said, oh,
- 00:19:37.399 --> 00:19:38.700
- You're trying to please everybody in that church? no.
- 00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:41.737
- Somebody said, well, if you keep doing that,
- 00:19:41.737 --> 00:19:43.605
- You're not going to be popular and imitate jesus.
- 00:19:43.605 --> 00:19:46.008
- I said, you know, last time i checked, jesus got crucified.
- 00:19:46.008 --> 00:19:49.478
- If you try to please everybody, you won't please anybody.
- 00:19:50.612 --> 00:19:54.383
- Is that right?
- 00:19:54.383 --> 00:19:56.251
- That's right.
- 00:19:56.251 --> 00:19:58.687
- Take my yoke.
- 00:19:58.687 --> 00:20:01.957
- He's your head coach.
- 00:20:02.457 --> 00:20:04.159
- He's my head coach.
- 00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:06.361
- He's been there, done that.
- 00:20:06.361 --> 00:20:07.696
- He will use us.
- 00:20:07.696 --> 00:20:10.599
- He will instruct us.
- 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.901
- So first of all, he says, hey, come, come.
- 00:20:12.901 --> 00:20:17.205
- Sign up on my team and then take my yoke.
- 00:20:17.205 --> 00:20:22.611
- And then he says, what?
- 00:20:22.611 --> 00:20:24.079
- Learn of me.
- 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.115
- Learn of me.
- 00:20:27.449 --> 00:20:28.950
- Because i am humble and gentle of heart.
- 00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:32.654
- And you'll have not only the rest you had
- 00:20:32.654 --> 00:20:35.490
- When you sign up, but you'll have rest in your soul.
- 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:40.662
- Learn.
- 00:20:40.862 --> 00:20:43.165
- He teaches us.
- 00:20:43.165 --> 00:20:44.833
- We have to be coachable, have to have those characteristics.
- 00:20:44.833 --> 00:20:47.969
- He teaches us.
- 00:20:47.969 --> 00:20:48.904
- He takes us where you are and where i am.
- 00:20:48.904 --> 00:20:51.073
- And he says, man, this is where you can go.
- 00:20:51.073 --> 00:20:54.576
- And he has a wonderful way of teaching.
- 00:20:54.576 --> 00:20:58.413
- He moves to the area of where you are and where i am.
- 00:20:58.413 --> 00:21:03.352
- It says there is where you begin to grow.
- 00:21:03.352 --> 00:21:06.588
- There was a teenage girl
- 00:21:07.122 --> 00:21:09.725
- Who was 18 years old.
- 00:21:09.725 --> 00:21:12.761
- Her dad had long since bailed out on the family.
- 00:21:12.761 --> 00:21:16.298
- Her mother died and she had four siblings she had to raise.
- 00:21:16.298 --> 00:21:20.602
- She was 18.
- 00:21:20.602 --> 00:21:22.471
- She cooked for them.
- 00:21:22.471 --> 00:21:23.805
- She prepared for them.
- 00:21:23.805 --> 00:21:25.540
- She got clothing for them on their meager income.
- 00:21:25.540 --> 00:21:28.477
- She saw there
- 00:21:28.477 --> 00:21:29.678
- They were at school every day that they had their lunch,
- 00:21:29.678 --> 00:21:32.214
- That they got home.
- 00:21:32.214 --> 00:21:33.482
- She saw that all four were dressed and bible study
- 00:21:33.482 --> 00:21:36.284
- In church every sunday.
- 00:21:36.284 --> 00:21:37.719
- And she worked and worked and washed and did everything.
- 00:21:37.719 --> 00:21:41.556
- And that little 3 or 4 room area they lived in.
- 00:21:41.556 --> 00:21:45.694
- And then there was some pious
- 00:21:45.694 --> 00:21:49.131
- Neighbor, a woman who came over who was mrs.
- 00:21:49.131 --> 00:21:53.101
- Church, and she went over and said, dorothy,
- 00:21:53.101 --> 00:21:58.273
- I noticed that all of your brothers
- 00:21:58.273 --> 00:22:01.176
- And sisters go to church, but you rarely go to church.
- 00:22:01.176 --> 00:22:05.414
- What are you going to tell god
- 00:22:05.414 --> 00:22:08.383
- When you come face to face with him?
- 00:22:08.383 --> 00:22:12.854
- And she said.
- 00:22:13.221 --> 00:22:16.158
- I guess
- 00:22:16.391 --> 00:22:17.259
- I'll just show in my hands.
- 00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:20.429
- You see the idea?
- 00:22:20.862 --> 00:22:22.164
- I'm a young mother.
- 00:22:22.164 --> 00:22:23.165
- I have all these children.
- 00:22:23.165 --> 00:22:24.633
- Well, i used to have time to pray in the worship.
- 00:22:24.633 --> 00:22:26.935
- This is a new season.
- 00:22:26.935 --> 00:22:28.136
- You have time to pray and worship with your children
- 00:22:28.136 --> 00:22:30.839
- As you're developing your children,
- 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:32.841
- You know that's another season for growth.
- 00:22:32.841 --> 00:22:35.377
- Another season where he is training, where we are
- 00:22:35.377 --> 00:22:38.046
- Learning and maturing in christ in every season of life.
- 00:22:38.046 --> 00:22:42.684
- And part of that is, and we operate
- 00:22:43.418 --> 00:22:46.087
- On the basis of our strengths,
- 00:22:46.087 --> 00:22:48.323
- Not on the basis of our weaknesses.
- 00:22:48.323 --> 00:22:52.060
- Oprah winfrey cannot read a a prophet lord sheet.
- 00:22:52.060 --> 00:22:55.597
- She's not good at math.
- 00:22:55.597 --> 00:22:57.599
- But what if she spent her life?
- 00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:59.568
- Well, i'm going to study hard and learn about math.
- 00:22:59.568 --> 00:23:02.204
- And she could read a balance
- 00:23:02.204 --> 00:23:03.805
- Sheet, and she spent all of her time there on a weakness.
- 00:23:03.805 --> 00:23:06.641
- She didn't do that.
- 00:23:06.641 --> 00:23:07.742
- She went with her strength, creativity, and genius.
- 00:23:07.742 --> 00:23:11.213
- And she's a billionaire.
- 00:23:11.213 --> 00:23:13.281
- She could have spent her whole time
- 00:23:13.281 --> 00:23:15.050
- Trying to learn how to do all no, no, no.
- 00:23:15.050 --> 00:23:17.552
- She went with her strength.
- 00:23:17.552 --> 00:23:20.288
- And that's what we have to do.
- 00:23:20.288 --> 00:23:22.791
- 101 corporations recently were given a test.
- 00:23:22.791 --> 00:23:27.295
- All the employees, and they were asked one question.
- 00:23:27.295 --> 00:23:34.102
- Do you spend
- 00:23:34.436 --> 00:23:36.638
- A lot of every day working in the area of your strength?
- 00:23:36.638 --> 00:23:41.243
- Did you get that?
- 00:23:41.243 --> 00:23:43.111
- Do you spend a lot or a part of every day
- 00:23:43.111 --> 00:23:46.982
- Working in the area of your strength?
- 00:23:46.982 --> 00:23:50.285
- 80 plus percent
- 00:23:50.652 --> 00:23:52.153
- Said they did not.
- 00:23:52.153 --> 00:23:56.992
- Therefore,
- 00:23:57.292 --> 00:23:58.093
- Only 20% are part of every day
- 00:23:58.093 --> 00:24:01.096
- We're able to work where they were strong,
- 00:24:01.096 --> 00:24:02.831
- Where they were gifted, where they were passionate.
- 00:24:02.831 --> 00:24:05.233
- So you got 80% inefficiency.
- 00:24:05.233 --> 00:24:08.703
- God would say, here's your strength.
- 00:24:09.471 --> 00:24:11.473
- I want to develop your strength.
- 00:24:11.473 --> 00:24:12.874
- Sometime. we have to work on our weaknesses.
- 00:24:12.874 --> 00:24:14.643
- Don't misunderstand me,
- 00:24:14.643 --> 00:24:15.844
- But we need to major
- 00:24:15.844 --> 00:24:16.978
- On our strengths and let our strength be.
- 00:24:16.978 --> 00:24:19.681
- That's what a good coach does.
- 00:24:19.681 --> 00:24:22.951
- He doesn't take a kid that weighs 150 pounds, runs a four,
- 00:24:22.951 --> 00:24:26.955
- 240 and say, i'm going to make a tackle out of you, son.
- 00:24:26.955 --> 00:24:32.360
- He sees what his strengths
- 00:24:32.928 --> 00:24:34.663
- Is and he and says, that's what christ does with us.
- 00:24:34.663 --> 00:24:38.366
- You think he's not as good a coach as any athletic coach?
- 00:24:38.366 --> 00:24:42.437
- Don't take somebody five feet eight.
- 00:24:43.238 --> 00:24:45.173
- Make them a sinner.
- 00:24:45.173 --> 00:24:46.341
- You might want to make them a guard to somebody
- 00:24:46.341 --> 00:24:48.343
- Seven, three and
- 00:24:48.343 --> 00:24:49.377
- And say, we're going to make you a point guard.
- 00:24:49.377 --> 00:24:50.845
- I mean, you see,
- 00:24:50.845 --> 00:24:51.846
- God looks at you and looks at me and says, hey,
- 00:24:51.846 --> 00:24:55.050
- This is how you're going to learn.
- 00:24:55.050 --> 00:24:58.053
- You sign up, come,
- 00:24:58.053 --> 00:25:02.557
- And then you take up that, that joke and get your with him.
- 00:25:02.557 --> 00:25:06.361
- He's training us. this is the formation part.
- 00:25:06.361 --> 00:25:08.964
- And then finally there is transformation as he begins
- 00:25:08.964 --> 00:25:12.834
- To take your strengths and my strengths
- 00:25:12.834 --> 00:25:14.569
- And maximize them for him and for you and for your life.
- 00:25:14.569 --> 00:25:19.474
- We are being coached up.
- 00:25:20.008 --> 00:25:23.411
- And a little part of
- 00:25:23.411 --> 00:25:24.846
- That scripture i read, i'm sure you missed it.
- 00:25:24.846 --> 00:25:26.848
- I missed it several times.
- 00:25:26.848 --> 00:25:28.850
- It says we are transformed
- 00:25:28.850 --> 00:25:31.486
- So we can be in the business of transforming others.
- 00:25:31.486 --> 00:25:34.522
- Paraphrase oh, why are we coached up?
- 00:25:34.522 --> 00:25:38.259
- We are coached by christ.
- 00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:39.794
- We let the holy spirit grow,
- 00:25:39.794 --> 00:25:41.396
- Grow as we're trying to develop,
- 00:25:41.396 --> 00:25:42.931
- And he is developing us, the mind of christ.
- 00:25:42.931 --> 00:25:45.333
- Then we're to be in the coaching business.
- 00:25:45.333 --> 00:25:48.536
- Your coach, time coach.
- 00:25:49.037 --> 00:25:50.338
- We're to coach others.
- 00:25:50.338 --> 00:25:51.806
- Somebody mentors me, somebody mentors you.
- 00:25:51.806 --> 00:25:54.209
- We're to mend or others.
- 00:25:54.209 --> 00:25:55.443
- A coach is always coaching in every walk of life.
- 00:25:55.443 --> 00:25:58.513
- When jesus christ is the head coach.
- 00:25:58.513 --> 00:26:03.151
- America the beautiful, our country
- 00:26:03.885 --> 00:26:07.122
- After home sweet home.
- 00:26:07.122 --> 00:26:09.157
- But our america is hurting.
- 00:26:09.157 --> 00:26:11.760
- We see it in our fractured, divided communities
- 00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:14.696
- And in our struggling families.
- 00:26:14.696 --> 00:26:17.399
- God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
- 00:26:17.399 --> 00:26:20.635
- In politics, power, or human effort alone.
- 00:26:20.635 --> 00:26:24.406
- God says, if my people who are called by
- 00:26:24.406 --> 00:26:27.475
- My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
- 00:26:27.475 --> 00:26:32.147
- Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
- 00:26:32.147 --> 00:26:35.717
- Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
- 00:26:35.717 --> 00:26:39.554
- Healing begins when god's people return to him.
- 00:26:39.554 --> 00:26:43.058
- In his powerful book, healing broken america.
- 00:26:43.058 --> 00:26:46.561
- Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward
- 00:26:46.561 --> 00:26:49.464
- Healing and restoration through faith, family,
- 00:26:49.464 --> 00:26:52.934
- And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
- 00:26:52.934 --> 00:26:56.604
- Because when
- 00:26:56.604 --> 00:26:57.639
- Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
- 00:26:57.639 --> 00:27:01.276
- Families are restored, and the nation can begin to heal.
