The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Who's Your Coach? | July 16, 2026
- Remember the
- 00:00:00.657 --> 00:00:02.058
- Man who was there by the pool of bethesda?
- 00:00:02.058 --> 00:00:05.395
- John five.
- 00:00:05.695 --> 00:00:08.264
- He'd been there 38 years, waiting the water to be stirred
- 00:00:08.264 --> 00:00:11.468
- So it'd be healed.
- 00:00:11.468 --> 00:00:12.335
- And jesus went up there and asked him
- 00:00:12.335 --> 00:00:14.370
- The coldest question that you could ask,
- 00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:17.173
- Or even the most relevant question.
- 00:00:17.173 --> 00:00:18.808
- He said, do you want to get well?
- 00:00:18.808 --> 00:00:20.777
- Do you want to be healed?
- 00:00:20.777 --> 00:00:22.612
- Been there 38 years.
- 00:00:22.612 --> 00:00:23.880
- He made a living out of being sick by being afflicted, see?
- 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.984
- But he was at a cultural teachable moment.
- 00:00:27.984 --> 00:00:31.154
- Do you want to be healed?
- 00:00:31.154 --> 00:00:49.973
- We've been talking about something, and a little coach
- 00:00:51.074 --> 00:00:54.644
- Came on our screen week before last
- 00:00:54.644 --> 00:00:58.515
- And told us something you remember.
- 00:00:58.515 --> 00:01:03.186
- You need a life coach.
- 00:01:03.653 --> 00:01:06.489
- And so many people ask, well,
- 00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:08.691
- What is a life coach?
- 00:01:08.691 --> 00:01:12.128
- I wanted to ask, where have you been?
- 00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:16.466
- There over
- 00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:17.467
- 150,000 of them in the world.
- 00:01:17.467 --> 00:01:20.537
- They're all kind of life coaches everywhere.
- 00:01:20.537 --> 00:01:23.173
- So i thought we might
- 00:01:23.173 --> 00:01:24.274
- Have go back and just define what is a life coach.
- 00:01:24.274 --> 00:01:28.678
- Look at the definition.
- 00:01:28.678 --> 00:01:29.846
- A personalized helper who will partner with you
- 00:01:29.846 --> 00:01:34.717
- In designing your future
- 00:01:34.717 --> 00:01:38.288
- Life coach.
- 00:01:38.621 --> 00:01:40.256
- Somebody who will partner with you
- 00:01:40.256 --> 00:01:42.892
- In designing your future.
- 00:01:42.892 --> 00:01:45.695
- By the way, i want you to take what i'm saying personal.
- 00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:51.000
- Would you do that, peter?
- 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.502
- Oh, no. no, no.
- 00:01:52.502 --> 00:01:53.736
- This is just for you.
- 00:01:53.736 --> 00:01:55.405
- Nobody else.
- 00:01:55.405 --> 00:01:57.240
- We were just sitting down together.
- 00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:58.875
- You were there and i was here.
- 00:01:58.875 --> 00:02:00.610
- And you say, all right, i'm going to speak
- 00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:03.446
- Just with you.
- 00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:06.249
- Don't let it bounce off.
- 00:02:06.249 --> 00:02:08.484
- Don't stiff arm me.
- 00:02:08.484 --> 00:02:11.020
- So we come to the point.
- 00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:13.289
- If anybody is semi
- 00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:16.159
- Honest and semi candid and in any way
- 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.195
- Wants to move on up in life,
- 00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:21.965
- You and i need a life coach.
- 00:02:21.965 --> 00:02:25.468
- Now, we got a
- 00:02:25.835 --> 00:02:27.136
- Lot of coaches running around, a lot of life coaches.
- 00:02:27.136 --> 00:02:30.173
- Tony robbins is a life coach.
- 00:02:30.807 --> 00:02:33.676
- Made over $30 million last year.
- 00:02:33.676 --> 00:02:36.713
- Pretty good.
- 00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:39.315
- Dreier is a life coach, right?
- 00:02:39.315 --> 00:02:41.884
- A lot of books, some good books, some good material.
- 00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:44.687
- Absolutely.
- 00:02:44.687 --> 00:02:45.922
- Doctor phil is a life coach.
- 00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:48.591
- You better bring your big wallet.
- 00:02:48.591 --> 00:02:51.761
- He's a life coach.
- 00:02:52.195 --> 00:02:54.063
- Talk to a lady.
- 00:02:54.063 --> 00:02:55.164
- Recently, the dalai lama has coached her.
- 00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:57.800
- Oh, my goodness gracious.
- 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.970
- You must have big bucks.
- 00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:03.840
- And she did.
- 00:03:04.173 --> 00:03:07.010
- Oh, they're all kind of life coaches.
- 00:03:07.010 --> 00:03:09.245
- You know, the leader of every religion,
- 00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:11.481
- Every denomination, every religion.
- 00:03:11.481 --> 00:03:12.982
- They're their life coaches.
- 00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:14.284
- They'll tell you this is how you live.
- 00:03:14.284 --> 00:03:15.652
- This is what you do.
- 00:03:15.652 --> 00:03:16.686
- All kind of books running around.
- 00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:18.354
- Some under the christian banner,
- 00:03:18.354 --> 00:03:19.822
- Some under the secular banner.
- 00:03:19.822 --> 00:03:21.324
- Some other new age banner, some under the buddhist banner,
- 00:03:21.324 --> 00:03:24.160
- Some other all the banner.
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.795
- A lot of coaches, a lot of coaches running around.
- 00:03:25.795 --> 00:03:29.499
- And we need a life coach.
- 00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:32.602
- Now, let's say you're an atheist
- 00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:36.005
- And you decided, well, i need a life coach, too.
- 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:38.574
- Who's it going to be?
- 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:40.443
- Well, if you're an atheist, let's say
- 00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:43.246
- That you could find someone who
- 00:03:43.246 --> 00:03:46.149
- Was prior to history.
- 00:03:46.649 --> 00:03:49.352
- Or would someone who had a life
- 00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.487
- Prior to the dawn of time,
- 00:03:51.487 --> 00:03:55.158
- And let's say the same person lived in history,
- 00:03:55.158 --> 00:03:58.828
- And this same person now
- 00:03:59.362 --> 00:04:01.431
- Lives outside of history?
- 00:04:01.431 --> 00:04:04.600
- In other words, they are infinite.
- 00:04:05.335 --> 00:04:06.936
- They are eternal.
- 00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:08.571
- Would that person make a good life coach?
- 00:04:08.571 --> 00:04:11.507
- You see, they would see everything
- 00:04:12.275 --> 00:04:15.511
- Past, present,
- 00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:17.980
- Future and timelessness.
- 00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.717
- Wouldn't
- 00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:21.884
- That be a terrific person to sit down with you and leave
- 00:04:21.884 --> 00:04:24.887
- Out all the god christ salvation stuff for a moment?
- 00:04:24.887 --> 00:04:28.458
- If you're an atheist?
- 00:04:28.458 --> 00:04:29.492
- Wouldn't that be a super individual?
- 00:04:29.492 --> 00:04:31.928
- Sit down and mentor you or mentor me?
- 00:04:31.928 --> 00:04:36.065
- Do you think you and
- 00:04:36.532 --> 00:04:37.767
- I would make better decisions about life?
- 00:04:37.767 --> 00:04:40.570
- If we live 200 years in the future,
- 00:04:40.570 --> 00:04:45.274
- And we could look back on the present?
- 00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:47.276
- Boy, we'd have a whole new perspective.
- 00:04:47.276 --> 00:04:49.078
- Would everything we think is important may be silly.
- 00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:52.215
- Everything we think silly may be important.
- 00:04:52.215 --> 00:04:54.917
- It could turn our whole lives around.
- 00:04:54.917 --> 00:04:57.320
- Could it not?
- 00:04:57.320 --> 00:04:59.655
- If we had an eternal, infinite perspective.
- 00:04:59.655 --> 00:05:03.292
- Boy, to find a life coach like that
- 00:05:03.292 --> 00:05:07.196
- Would really be something, wouldn't it?
- 00:05:08.030 --> 00:05:11.033
- That somebody i'd want to coach me.
- 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:13.035
- That's somebody. if you had a sense
- 00:05:13.035 --> 00:05:15.204
- Of intelligence, you'd want to coach you.
- 00:05:15.204 --> 00:05:18.408
- Now we say, well, what does it take?
- 00:05:19.208 --> 00:05:22.645
- I want to enter into a pact.
- 00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:24.680
- A p a c t with a life coach.
- 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:30.486
- So we ask the question, what would you and i look for
- 00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:33.723
- In a life coach?
- 00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:35.691
- First of all,
- 00:05:36.058 --> 00:05:36.893
- I think we'd look for power.
- 00:05:36.893 --> 00:05:39.662
- We would look for
- 00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:41.731
- Somebody who was powerful.
- 00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:44.600
- They had gravitas.
- 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.002
- They had meaning.
- 00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:47.537
- They had demonstrated their power.
- 00:05:47.537 --> 00:05:49.872
- Somebody who is powerful.
- 00:05:49.872 --> 00:05:53.242
- Then i'd look for somebody that's authentic.
- 00:05:53.242 --> 00:05:55.778
- Wouldn't you?
- 00:05:55.778 --> 00:05:57.246
- Nobody that's playing games.
- 00:05:57.246 --> 00:05:59.115
- That's phony.
- 00:05:59.115 --> 00:06:01.250
- That's exploiting you or exploiting me as a coach.
- 00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:04.887
- They are. think they're real?
- 00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:07.757
- And i think i'd want somebody who is caring.
- 00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:10.893
- They care about me.
- 00:06:10.893 --> 00:06:12.862
- They're interested in me.
- 00:06:12.862 --> 00:06:14.397
- I'm important to them.
- 00:06:14.397 --> 00:06:15.698
- Not only what i might do for their team,
- 00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:17.967
- But even when i'm offside is when i'm holding.
- 00:06:17.967 --> 00:06:21.037
- When i break training.
- 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:22.672
- They still care about me, boy.
- 00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:26.275
- I'd want a life coach like that, wouldn't you?
- 00:06:26.275 --> 00:06:29.445
- I wear a life coach who's a teacher,
- 00:06:29.445 --> 00:06:32.715
- Who really knows how to teach.
- 00:06:32.715 --> 00:06:35.117
- And what they teach
- 00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:36.853
- Is absolutely the perfect curriculum for me.
- 00:06:36.853 --> 00:06:40.323
- Isn't that it? folks? can.
- 00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:41.757
- You can have a lot of subsets of this, but that's it.
- 00:06:41.757 --> 00:06:44.527
- You want to enter into a pack with somebody
- 00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:47.530
- Who is a powerful, authentic, caring teacher.
- 00:06:47.530 --> 00:06:51.801
- Right.
- 00:06:51.801 --> 00:06:53.369
- But wouldn't that be great?
- 00:06:53.970 --> 00:06:56.272
- And then you've got to flip it over.
- 00:06:56.272 --> 00:06:58.074
- You got to ask the question,
- 00:06:58.074 --> 00:07:00.343
- Well, what do you find such a person?
- 00:07:00.343 --> 00:07:03.613
- I want to read to you a passage that most of us
- 00:07:03.613 --> 00:07:07.583
- Are familiar with, but i'm going to
- 00:07:07.583 --> 00:07:09.485
- Sort of emphasize some words.
- 00:07:09.485 --> 00:07:11.554
- If i could, i'd stand up on those words and shout them,
- 00:07:11.554 --> 00:07:15.224
- But i'm going to emphasize them.
- 00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:17.193
- Mark chapter ten, verse 17 following.
- 00:07:17.193 --> 00:07:20.696
- And jesus was setting out on a journey.
- 00:07:20.696 --> 00:07:23.933
- A man ran
- 00:07:23.933 --> 00:07:26.702
- Up to him and knelt
- 00:07:27.169 --> 00:07:29.939
- Before him and asked him,
- 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:33.943
- Good teacher, what shall i do to inherit eternal life?
- 00:07:33.943 --> 00:07:39.015
- And jesus said to him.
- 00:07:39.015 --> 00:07:41.918
- Why do you call me good?
- 00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:43.553
- No one is good except god alone.
- 00:07:43.553 --> 00:07:45.821
- Jesus. see?
- 00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:47.123
- Do you recognize me as divine, as messiah?
- 00:07:47.123 --> 00:07:51.027
- I know what's good, but god alone.
- 00:07:51.027 --> 00:07:52.495
- See, he's
- 00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:53.362
- Said, you know who
- 00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:54.931
- You're talking with, with whom you're speaking.
- 00:07:54.931 --> 00:07:57.700
- You know the commandment said, jesus, do not murder.
- 00:07:57.700 --> 00:08:00.202
- Do you not commit adultery? do not steal.
- 00:08:00.202 --> 00:08:02.171
- Do not bear false witness. do not defraud.
- 00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:04.240
- Honor your father and mother.
- 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.575
- And this rich prodigy
- 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:09.545
- Leader.
- 00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:10.880
- Young, he said to jesus, teacher, i have kept
- 00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:15.618
- All these things from my youth
- 00:08:15.618 --> 00:08:19.455
- Up to this present day.
- 00:08:19.455 --> 00:08:22.725
- Man, what a guy.
- 00:08:23.125 --> 00:08:26.529
- Looking at him, verse 21, jesus felt
- 00:08:27.330 --> 00:08:30.566
- A love for him and said to him, one thing you lack.
- 00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:35.271
- And the guy said, lack.
- 00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:37.440
- Only one thing. that's pretty good.
- 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.976
- I mean, i'm going to join up.
- 00:08:39.976 --> 00:08:41.877
- I mean, this is something one thing you like, go and sell
- 00:08:41.877 --> 00:08:46.315
- All you possess and give the poor, and you will
- 00:08:46.315 --> 00:08:49.051
- Have treasure in heaven, and come follow me.
- 00:08:49.051 --> 00:08:52.121
- And at these words, he,
- 00:08:52.622 --> 00:08:55.291
- This rich, prestigious,
- 00:08:55.291 --> 00:08:59.362
- Wonderfully gifted, moral
- 00:08:59.929 --> 00:09:02.398
- Young man said he was saddened, and he went away
- 00:09:02.398 --> 00:09:07.336
- Grieving, for he was one who owned much property.
- 00:09:07.336 --> 00:09:11.807
- And the word grieving.
- 00:09:11.807 --> 00:09:13.175
- There is a picture of a woman in labor delivering a child
- 00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:17.880
- That kind of pain.
- 00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.048
- He went away grieving because he owned a lot of stuff.
- 00:09:19.048 --> 00:09:26.322
- And jesus said, how hard it is
- 00:09:26.922 --> 00:09:29.258
- For those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of heaven.
- 00:09:29.258 --> 00:09:33.329
- The disciples were amazed at his word.
- 00:09:34.163 --> 00:09:36.198
- You see, in that day,
- 00:09:36.198 --> 00:09:37.800
- Like some people today, wealth is a mark
- 00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:41.370
- Of god's blessing is a mark of somebody who is superior.
- 00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:45.775
- It's a mark who's someone who's got it all together.
- 00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:48.711
- See? same thing in that day, only more so.
- 00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:52.248
- The disciples were amazed at his words,
- 00:09:52.248 --> 00:09:55.084
- But jesus answered and said to them, children,
- 00:09:55.084 --> 00:09:57.887
- How hard it is to enter the kingdom of god.
- 00:09:57.887 --> 00:10:01.023
- For is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
- 00:10:02.191 --> 00:10:05.528
- Than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
- 00:10:05.528 --> 00:10:08.297
- And they were more astonished.
- 00:10:08.297 --> 00:10:10.166
- And they said to him, then who in the world can be saved?
- 00:10:10.166 --> 00:10:14.570
- And jesus said, with people it is impossible, but with god
- 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:17.740
- All things are possible with god.
- 00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.675
- How in the world now we've heard this verse
- 00:10:19.675 --> 00:10:22.611
- Explained away
- 00:10:22.611 --> 00:10:23.746
- Like the eye of the needle, and i think all of that.
- 00:10:23.746 --> 00:10:26.315
- I said, jesus, it's not exegesis.
- 00:10:26.315 --> 00:10:28.617
- Let's just deal with it the way jesus, i think, meant it.
- 00:10:28.617 --> 00:10:31.687
- How in the world could a camel, the largest animal
- 00:10:31.687 --> 00:10:34.957
- They knew in israel, go through the avenida?
- 00:10:34.957 --> 00:10:38.961
- Well, i guess you
- 00:10:39.395 --> 00:10:40.730
- Could take that camel, chop him up.
- 00:10:40.730 --> 00:10:43.499
- I guess you could boil him and boil him and boil him.
- 00:10:43.499 --> 00:10:47.603
- And boiling
- 00:10:47.603 --> 00:10:48.804
- Until he'd be totally with fire and boiling and treatment
- 00:10:48.804 --> 00:10:52.408
- And beating the camel be totally liquefied.
- 00:10:52.408 --> 00:10:56.078
- Okay, then you take a needle, i.
- 00:10:56.812 --> 00:11:01.050
- And i guess you could eventually pour that camel
- 00:11:01.050 --> 00:11:04.954
- Through it.
- 00:11:04.954 --> 00:11:07.623
- Pretty good task, isn't it?
- 00:11:07.623 --> 00:11:11.694
- It. with all of our modern
- 00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:14.096
- Methodology of liquefying a camel to pour,
- 00:11:14.096 --> 00:11:19.602
- A whole camel liquefied through the eye of a needle.
- 00:11:19.602 --> 00:11:22.872
- Jesus said, it's that tough for
- 00:11:22.872 --> 00:11:25.374
- Somebody who has a lot of property,
- 00:11:25.374 --> 00:11:27.243
- A lot of stuff to get to heaven.
- 00:11:27.243 --> 00:11:29.645
- Why is that?
- 00:11:29.645 --> 00:11:32.014
- You see, the more stuff we have.
- 00:11:32.014 --> 00:11:35.718
- The more time it takes to look after our stuff,
- 00:11:36.652 --> 00:11:40.456
- To tend our stuff.
- 00:11:40.890 --> 00:11:42.892
- Our stuff has to have priority.
- 00:11:42.892 --> 00:11:44.393
- Or we might
- 00:11:44.393 --> 00:11:45.594
- Lose some of our stuff, or i ii stuff may drop in value.
- 00:11:45.594 --> 00:11:49.398
- Our stuff may be taken away from us.
- 00:11:49.398 --> 00:11:53.302
- So it's a matter of priority.
- 00:11:53.936 --> 00:11:56.806
- And so we see here
- 00:11:57.239 --> 00:11:59.241
- This rich man looked at jesus and he said,
- 00:11:59.241 --> 00:12:04.013
- He's got something i want, but he had everything.
- 00:12:04.013 --> 00:12:07.817
- He didn't know exactly what jesus had.
- 00:12:07.817 --> 00:12:10.419
- He wanted to be on his team.
- 00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:13.589
- And jesus said, here's
- 00:12:14.056 --> 00:12:16.258
- Requirements to be on my team.
- 00:12:16.258 --> 00:12:19.261
- Here's what you have to do.
- 00:12:19.862 --> 00:12:22.798
- Sell out.
- 00:12:23.098 --> 00:12:26.035
- As we approach
- 00:12:26.035 --> 00:12:26.969
- Our fiscal year end on july the 31st.
- 00:12:26.969 --> 00:12:30.539
- We're also approaching a historic milestone.
- 00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:33.909
- Think about it.
- 00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:35.177
- America's 250th anniversary.
- 00:12:35.177 --> 00:12:39.415
- And as we reflect on what built this nation
- 00:12:39.415 --> 00:12:42.751
- Faith, family and freedom,
- 00:12:42.751 --> 00:12:45.621
- Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
- 00:12:45.621 --> 00:12:49.892
- Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
- 00:12:49.892 --> 00:12:52.995
- As we live under the banner of america,
- 00:12:52.995 --> 00:12:56.298
- We also recognize something deeply wrong.
- 00:12:56.298 --> 00:13:00.169
- Biblical truth is being challenged.
- 00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:03.272
- Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
- 00:13:03.272 --> 00:13:06.675
- At the center of our culture.
- 00:13:06.675 --> 00:13:09.378
- Now it's our turn.
- 00:13:09.378 --> 00:13:11.380
- Our turn to stand for what matters most.
- 00:13:11.380 --> 00:13:14.516
- Listen, when you request this much resource,
- 00:13:14.516 --> 00:13:18.053
- You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
- 00:13:18.053 --> 00:13:21.257
- Strengthen families,
- 00:13:21.257 --> 00:13:22.258
- And advance faith across this great nation.
- 00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:25.327
- As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
- 00:13:25.327 --> 00:13:29.298
- Copy of my book, healing broken america,
- 00:13:29.298 --> 00:13:32.968
- A book that i have written to help us understand
- 00:13:32.968 --> 00:13:36.038
- And to navigate our way through all the challenges
- 00:13:36.038 --> 00:13:39.842
- Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
- 00:13:39.842 --> 00:13:44.179
- Year end.
- 00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.247
- I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
- 00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:48.317
- Consider a gift of $250,
- 00:13:48.317 --> 00:13:52.254
- Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
- 00:13:52.254 --> 00:13:55.925
- For every year of our nation's existence.
- 00:13:55.925 --> 00:13:59.061
- We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
- 00:13:59.061 --> 00:14:02.631
- To be broadcast around the world.
- 00:14:02.631 --> 00:14:05.901
- Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
- 00:14:05.901 --> 00:14:08.871
- Encouragement, and meaning across america.
- 00:14:08.871 --> 00:14:12.408
- So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
- 00:14:12.408 --> 00:14:15.444
- And revival in our great nation.
- 00:14:15.444 --> 00:14:19.181
- For if america would catch far for christ,
- 00:14:19.181 --> 00:14:21.817
- It would touch the entire world.
- 00:14:21.817 --> 00:14:24.353
- Thank you.
- 00:14:24.353 --> 00:14:26.021
- Making this possible with your participation
- 00:14:26.021 --> 00:14:29.058
- In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
- 00:14:29.058 --> 00:14:39.868
- And then we have to flip it over.
- 00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:42.705
- We have to say, well, well, what does a life coach
- 00:14:42.705 --> 00:14:45.941
- Look for in someone who's on his team?
- 00:14:45.941 --> 00:14:48.877
- By the way, there's a dance going on between
- 00:14:48.877 --> 00:14:51.447
- Players and coaches. it starts in high school.
- 00:14:51.447 --> 00:14:53.515
- If somebody is tremendously gifted,
- 00:14:53.515 --> 00:14:55.451
- All the schools say we want him.
- 00:14:55.451 --> 00:14:57.152
- The dance starts and he decides to go.
- 00:14:57.152 --> 00:15:00.422
- With this college signing day.
- 00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:02.524
- He signs up with his college, he plays collegiate football.
- 00:15:02.524 --> 00:15:06.261
- He's good enough that the pros want him to play on sunday.
- 00:15:06.261 --> 00:15:09.798
- Then it's which is around.
- 00:15:09.798 --> 00:15:11.500
- Then there's draft day
- 00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.969
- And they go through
- 00:15:13.969 --> 00:15:14.937
- All the drafts and then if you're selected,
- 00:15:14.937 --> 00:15:18.007
- Man, you're put on a team.
- 00:15:18.574 --> 00:15:19.875
- Or if you weren't drafted,
- 00:15:19.875 --> 00:15:21.043
- You can go prove yourself and and maybe it'll
- 00:15:21.043 --> 00:15:23.345
- Be a part of an nfl team.
- 00:15:23.345 --> 00:15:24.913
- And the contract is signed.
- 00:15:24.913 --> 00:15:28.050
- And now it's
- 00:15:28.384 --> 00:15:29.418
- The team who drives the player.
- 00:15:29.418 --> 00:15:33.055
- Not as in high school, that the player
- 00:15:33.055 --> 00:15:35.691
- Decides to go with this coach in this team.
- 00:15:35.691 --> 00:15:38.527
- And it's a continual kind of dancing going on.
- 00:15:38.527 --> 00:15:42.197
- You've got a team coach,
- 00:15:42.197 --> 00:15:43.265
- A coach team, and we'll see who will win.
- 00:15:43.265 --> 00:15:47.302
- And this isn't life.
- 00:15:47.770 --> 00:15:50.239
- We are looking for.
- 00:15:50.239 --> 00:15:54.476
- A coach, and the coach is looking
- 00:15:55.210 --> 00:15:58.714
- For players on his team and you have a pact.
- 00:15:58.714 --> 00:16:04.019
- We entered in and we ask the question, what you know
- 00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:08.957
- What?
- 00:16:08.957 --> 00:16:10.059
- What kind of players the coach looking for.
- 00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:13.829
- Somebody who has potential.
- 00:16:14.430 --> 00:16:18.133
- That's the p potential.
- 00:16:18.133 --> 00:16:21.303
- Potential.
- 00:16:21.603 --> 00:16:24.039
- And by the way, all of us have potential.
- 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.242
- And by the way, as a footnote, everybody's been drafted.
- 00:16:27.242 --> 00:16:31.013
- You see this is what i.
- 00:16:31.013 --> 00:16:33.882
- Therefore i'm more armenian than i am calvinist.
- 00:16:33.882 --> 00:16:37.352
- Going to get theological on me.
- 00:16:37.352 --> 00:16:40.022
- You get it or many and say, man, i decided,
- 00:16:40.022 --> 00:16:43.859
- You know for
- 00:16:43.859 --> 00:16:44.726
- Jesus said, oh, no, no, you were picked
- 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:46.728
- Before the foundation of the world.
- 00:16:46.728 --> 00:16:47.996
- I say, no, whosoever will may come.
- 00:16:47.996 --> 00:16:49.865
- This is sort of a part of this.
- 00:16:49.865 --> 00:16:51.500
- That's a footnote,
- 00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:53.769
- But it's a coach.
- 00:16:54.203 --> 00:16:54.970
- Look for potential.
- 00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:58.073
- That's important.
- 00:16:58.073 --> 00:16:58.941
- We have, but we all have
- 00:16:58.941 --> 00:17:01.777
- Potential, do we not?
- 00:17:01.777 --> 00:17:04.513
- What else does a coach look for?
- 00:17:04.513 --> 00:17:06.248
- Somebody who is actually
- 00:17:06.248 --> 00:17:08.617
- Somebody who's got some passion,
- 00:17:08.617 --> 00:17:11.253
- Some zip to them doesn't mean his express
- 00:17:11.253 --> 00:17:13.889
- As an extroverted personality or an introverted personality.
- 00:17:13.889 --> 00:17:17.292
- I've seen extroverts that had a lot in the showroom,
- 00:17:17.292 --> 00:17:19.962
- Not in the stock case, and i've seen a lot of people
- 00:17:19.962 --> 00:17:22.598
- Had a lot in the stock room and nothing to showcase.
- 00:17:22.598 --> 00:17:25.767
- I mean,
- 00:17:25.767 --> 00:17:26.735
- It could be introvert, extrovert, but somebody
- 00:17:26.735 --> 00:17:28.437
- Who's got some passion, they they're actually they
- 00:17:28.437 --> 00:17:31.006
- They want to see their life get on target.
- 00:17:31.006 --> 00:17:35.444
- Somebody who has potential, somebody who is actualized
- 00:17:35.444 --> 00:17:38.080
- And deceased and somebody coachable.
- 00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:40.849
- Maybe you got to be coachable
- 00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:43.118
- And we'll talk about that in the future.
- 00:17:43.118 --> 00:17:45.154
- And there are coachable moments in everybody's life,
- 00:17:45.154 --> 00:17:50.459
- Coachable moments.
- 00:17:50.893 --> 00:17:52.961
- Remember the man who was there by the pool of bethesda?
- 00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:57.699
- John five.
- 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.569
- He'd been there 38 years, waiting the water to be stirred
- 00:18:00.569 --> 00:18:03.772
- So it'd be healed.
- 00:18:03.772 --> 00:18:04.640
- And jesus went up there and asked him
- 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.675
- The coldest question that you could ask,
- 00:18:06.675 --> 00:18:09.478
- Or even the most relevant question.
- 00:18:09.478 --> 00:18:11.113
- He said, do you want to get well?
- 00:18:11.113 --> 00:18:13.081
- Do you want to be healed?
- 00:18:13.081 --> 00:18:14.917
- Been there 38 years.
- 00:18:14.917 --> 00:18:16.185
- He made a living out of being sick by being afflicted, see?
- 00:18:16.185 --> 00:18:20.289
- But he was at a cultural teachable moment.
- 00:18:20.289 --> 00:18:23.458
- Do you want to be healed?
- 00:18:23.458 --> 00:18:25.961
- The woman called the act of adultery.
- 00:18:25.961 --> 00:18:28.463
- They were going to stone her.
- 00:18:28.463 --> 00:18:29.865
- And jesus said, any of you guys without sin,
- 00:18:29.865 --> 00:18:32.768
- Just fire away, throw those rocks.
- 00:18:32.768 --> 00:18:35.571
- And they looked around and jesus riding on the ground
- 00:18:35.571 --> 00:18:39.675
- Wouldn't know what he was writing.
- 00:18:39.675 --> 00:18:40.943
- He may have been writing some name, rank, and serial numbers.
- 00:18:40.943 --> 00:18:44.613
- Those guys who had those stones and said, hey,
- 00:18:44.613 --> 00:18:47.716
- When they dropped their stones and they walked away
- 00:18:47.716 --> 00:18:50.385
- And jesus said, no one condemned you.
- 00:18:50.385 --> 00:18:52.654
- She said, no one, lord.
- 00:18:52.654 --> 00:18:54.022
- He says, neither do i condemn you.
- 00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:56.158
- Teachable moment.
- 00:18:56.158 --> 00:18:57.159
- You go and sin no more. see?
- 00:18:57.159 --> 00:18:59.494
- Teachable moment.
- 00:18:59.494 --> 00:19:01.363
- Now jesus was being crucified.
- 00:19:01.363 --> 00:19:03.832
- Preparation there, the beating
- 00:19:03.832 --> 00:19:06.602
- Crown of thorns.
- 00:19:07.002 --> 00:19:08.770
- The shame. what did jesus say?
- 00:19:08.770 --> 00:19:11.039
- Not a word.
- 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.674
- Read it.
- 00:19:12.674 --> 00:19:13.308
- He didn't say a word. why?
- 00:19:13.308 --> 00:19:15.277
- It wasn't a teachable moment.
- 00:19:15.277 --> 00:19:18.247
- Peter and i. jesus.
- 00:19:18.714 --> 00:19:19.848
- Three times there prior to the crucifixion.
- 00:19:19.848 --> 00:19:22.317
- Articles of fiction. he's by the lake.
- 00:19:22.317 --> 00:19:25.020
- Three questions were asked of him.
- 00:19:25.020 --> 00:19:27.856
- Three denials.
- 00:19:27.856 --> 00:19:29.057
- Three affirmations.
- 00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:31.193
- Do you agape love me twice?
- 00:19:31.193 --> 00:19:33.128
- Finally, do you feel a love me just as a friend?
- 00:19:33.128 --> 00:19:35.931
- Peter saw where he was.
- 00:19:35.931 --> 00:19:37.599
- That was a teachable moment.
- 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.335
- They're teachable moments in your life.
- 00:19:40.335 --> 00:19:42.137
- In my life,
- 00:19:42.137 --> 00:19:43.205
- Maybe mountaintops or valleys, maybe sickness, maybe.
- 00:19:43.205 --> 00:19:45.741
- And help. boy, it gets our attention.
- 00:19:45.741 --> 00:19:47.809
- There's a teachable moment.
- 00:19:47.809 --> 00:19:49.478
- That's when we're coachable, coachable.
- 00:19:49.478 --> 00:19:53.382
- So, coach, look for potential.
- 00:19:53.982 --> 00:19:57.286
- Somebody act, somebody, actualize, somebody
- 00:19:57.286 --> 00:19:59.454
- Who is coachable and somebody who is totally committed.
- 00:19:59.454 --> 00:20:05.227
- Oh, time out.
- 00:20:05.594 --> 00:20:07.763
- Wait a minute.
- 00:20:07.763 --> 00:20:09.865
- Go back to our rich, gifted young man.
- 00:20:09.865 --> 00:20:13.568
- What did he lack?
- 00:20:13.568 --> 00:20:16.571
- One thing,
- 00:20:16.571 --> 00:20:18.840
- But he kept six
- 00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.475
- Commandments perfectly from a childhood.
- 00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:23.378
- All the relationships that deal
- 00:20:23.378 --> 00:20:26.081
- In the parallel person to person.
- 00:20:26.081 --> 00:20:29.818
- He'd been perfect, but he'd broken the first commandment.
- 00:20:29.818 --> 00:20:34.222
- Legend, gentleman.
- 00:20:34.656 --> 00:20:35.757
- All the commandments stand on the first commandment.
- 00:20:35.757 --> 00:20:38.560
- Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- 00:20:38.560 --> 00:20:41.563
- God demands that he be number
- 00:20:41.563 --> 00:20:44.499
- One, and everything stands on that.
- 00:20:44.499 --> 00:20:47.235
- And jesus, the life coach of this young man,
- 00:20:47.235 --> 00:20:52.007
- Potentially said, hey, you lack one thing.
- 00:20:52.007 --> 00:20:55.243
- You've got something ahead of god.
- 00:20:55.243 --> 00:20:57.479
- It's your stuff.
- 00:20:57.479 --> 00:21:00.182
- Doesn't mean everybody is to sell everything,
- 00:21:00.182 --> 00:21:02.718
- But anything that you put in the place of or ahead of god
- 00:21:02.718 --> 00:21:07.089
- That will keep you from letting jesus christ coach your life,
- 00:21:07.089 --> 00:21:12.728
- Coach your life.
- 00:21:13.128 --> 00:21:15.497
- You see this rich guy, this young guy,
- 00:21:15.497 --> 00:21:18.233
- He was big and he wanted to get bigger.
- 00:21:18.233 --> 00:21:23.138
- He had everything in the world over, but he saw in jesus
- 00:21:23.138 --> 00:21:27.476
- That was something that he needed.
- 00:21:27.476 --> 00:21:29.244
- And jesus said, you haven't sold out.
- 00:21:29.244 --> 00:21:31.980
- You like this one thing.
- 00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:33.181
- You got to take care of this
- 00:21:33.181 --> 00:21:34.416
- In your life before you can follow me.
- 00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:37.185
- And he didn't understand
- 00:21:37.719 --> 00:21:39.454
- A basic biblical principle.
- 00:21:39.454 --> 00:21:42.257
- Listen carefully.
- 00:21:42.691 --> 00:21:45.360
- If you want to get bigger,
- 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.430
- You have to get smaller.
- 00:21:48.964 --> 00:21:51.433
- Only way you can get bigger is to get smaller.
- 00:21:51.433 --> 00:21:54.770
- And that's what jesus was saying.
- 00:21:54.770 --> 00:21:56.638
- You have to get smaller.
- 00:21:56.638 --> 00:21:58.473
- This thing that's blocking you from being a follower,
- 00:21:58.473 --> 00:22:02.277
- Get rid of that.
- 00:22:02.677 --> 00:22:03.979
- Get smaller.
- 00:22:03.979 --> 00:22:06.515
- Let life be simpler.
- 00:22:06.515 --> 00:22:08.383
- All your properties compounding your life
- 00:22:08.383 --> 00:22:11.119
- You can't follow unless you totally,
- 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.123
- Totally give him everything.
- 00:22:15.724 --> 00:22:20.228
- You say.
- 00:22:20.495 --> 00:22:21.029
- Well, god wanted to
- 00:22:21.029 --> 00:22:23.131
- Save the world and call the world back to himself.
- 00:22:23.131 --> 00:22:26.701
- What would he do?
- 00:22:26.701 --> 00:22:28.236
- He would demonstrate his power.
- 00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:30.806
- I'm never done.
- 00:22:30.806 --> 00:22:32.774
- He would demonstrate
- 00:22:32.774 --> 00:22:34.743
- His presence, omniscience.
- 00:22:34.743 --> 00:22:37.612
- He would demonstrate his attributes.
- 00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:40.715
- The world would say who
- 00:22:40.715 --> 00:22:43.919
- That is god.
- 00:22:44.252 --> 00:22:45.153
- What did god do?
- 00:22:45.153 --> 00:22:46.655
- Luke two says, you find the babe
- 00:22:46.655 --> 00:22:50.292
- Wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
- 00:22:50.292 --> 00:22:54.296
- You mean something
- 00:22:54.729 --> 00:22:57.199
- That puny is a little bitty
- 00:22:57.199 --> 00:23:00.402
- Babe, a common peasant people?
- 00:23:01.002 --> 00:23:03.939
- You mean that's what god's going to you, you know?
- 00:23:03.939 --> 00:23:07.909
- See the principle?
- 00:23:08.343 --> 00:23:09.845
- You want to get bigger, have to get smaller.
- 00:23:09.845 --> 00:23:13.515
- You see it everywhere.
- 00:23:13.982 --> 00:23:16.651
- Remember how the first computers
- 00:23:16.651 --> 00:23:18.220
- Have you read about the first computer?
- 00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:19.855
- First computer came out.
- 00:23:19.855 --> 00:23:21.323
- It covered a whole warehouse.
- 00:23:21.323 --> 00:23:24.493
- It was humongous.
- 00:23:24.926 --> 00:23:27.596
- Only 2 or 3 people go to operate.
- 00:23:28.296 --> 00:23:30.165
- It was slow.
- 00:23:30.165 --> 00:23:31.132
- It was clumsy. boys, a computer.
- 00:23:31.132 --> 00:23:34.302
- And now look at computers, little microcomputers.
- 00:23:34.302 --> 00:23:38.240
- They're more powerful than than that.
- 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.009
- Gigantic computers.
- 00:23:41.009 --> 00:23:42.377
- And they're getting smaller and smaller.
- 00:23:42.377 --> 00:23:45.180
- Well, they'll have more and more power, right?
- 00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:49.150
- Telephones.
- 00:23:49.484 --> 00:23:50.685
- Smaller and smaller.
- 00:23:50.685 --> 00:23:54.523
- John hagler,
- 00:23:54.856 --> 00:23:57.025
- Quantum physicist, recent and made an astounding statement.
- 00:23:57.025 --> 00:24:01.696
- He said the smallest, smallest unit
- 00:24:01.696 --> 00:24:06.468
- In the known universe.
- 00:24:06.935 --> 00:24:09.704
- Get that the smallest unit in
- 00:24:09.704 --> 00:24:11.873
- The known universe is more powerful.
- 00:24:11.873 --> 00:24:14.876
- It has more energy than the billions of galaxies
- 00:24:14.876 --> 00:24:19.381
- And the millions of suns in the solar system.
- 00:24:19.381 --> 00:24:23.585
- Did you get that
- 00:24:23.985 --> 00:24:26.788
- Smallest unit?
- 00:24:27.122 --> 00:24:28.957
- More energy than the whole shooting
- 00:24:28.957 --> 00:24:32.761
- Match of creation?
- 00:24:32.761 --> 00:24:36.398
- Those quantum physicists are way
- 00:24:37.132 --> 00:24:39.401
- Ahead of the game, aren't they?
- 00:24:39.401 --> 00:24:42.504
- You see, in order to get bigger,
- 00:24:43.238 --> 00:24:46.675
- We have to get smaller.
- 00:24:46.675 --> 00:24:49.444
- A biblical principle.
- 00:24:49.444 --> 00:24:52.314
- Would you rather have
- 00:24:52.814 --> 00:24:54.849
- 223 committees
- 00:24:54.849 --> 00:24:58.086
- To change the world
- 00:24:58.086 --> 00:25:00.522
- Of the apostle paul?
- 00:25:00.522 --> 00:25:04.593
- Which one
- 00:25:04.893 --> 00:25:06.795
- Would you rather have?
- 00:25:06.795 --> 00:25:08.129
- The apostle john, or ten books of regulations
- 00:25:08.129 --> 00:25:12.968
- And rules and strategies
- 00:25:12.968 --> 00:25:14.769
- As to how this world could be turned over to the lord?
- 00:25:14.769 --> 00:25:18.340
- Which one do you rather have?
- 00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:19.874
- Just one little guy or all those rule books?
- 00:25:19.874 --> 00:25:23.678
- Put another way, what should you rather have?
- 00:25:23.678 --> 00:25:26.181
- A whole army military trained of goliath or one david?
- 00:25:26.181 --> 00:25:31.886
- Which one do you have to have?
- 00:25:31.886 --> 00:25:35.991
- You see,
- 00:25:36.257 --> 00:25:38.093
- This rich young peacock hadn't figured it out.
- 00:25:38.093 --> 00:25:41.529
- He thought, man, i'm big now.
- 00:25:41.529 --> 00:25:43.164
- With all of my hair and all my position.
- 00:25:43.164 --> 00:25:44.966
- I'm young and i'm moral, man.
- 00:25:44.966 --> 00:25:46.901
- I've got it all.
- 00:25:46.901 --> 00:25:47.969
- And and jesus said to him, no,
- 00:25:47.969 --> 00:25:50.305
- If you're going to let me coach you up, you had to get small.
- 00:25:50.305 --> 00:25:54.843
- And as you get small, then in god's economy,
- 00:25:54.843 --> 00:25:58.913
- You'll become big bear.
- 00:25:58.913 --> 00:26:05.220
- America the beautiful,
- 00:26:05.687 --> 00:26:07.722
- Our country after home sweet home.
- 00:26:07.722 --> 00:26:10.959
- But our america is hurting.
- 00:26:10.959 --> 00:26:13.561
- We see it in our fractured, divided communities
- 00:26:13.561 --> 00:26:16.498
- And in our struggling families.
- 00:26:16.498 --> 00:26:19.200
- God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
- 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.437
- In politics, power, or human effort alone.
- 00:26:22.437 --> 00:26:26.207
- God says, if my people who are called by
- 00:26:26.207 --> 00:26:29.277
- My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
- 00:26:29.277 --> 00:26:33.948
- Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
- 00:26:33.948 --> 00:26:37.519
- Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
- 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.356
- Healing begins when god's people return to him.
- 00:26:41.356 --> 00:26:44.859
- In his powerful book, healing broken america.
- 00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:48.363
- Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward
- 00:26:48.363 --> 00:26:51.266
- Healing and restoration through faith, family,
- 00:26:51.266 --> 00:26:54.736
- And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
- 00:26:54.736 --> 00:26:58.406
- Because when
- 00:26:58.406 --> 00:26:59.441
- Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
- 00:26:59.441 --> 00:27:03.078
- Families are restored, and the nation can begin to heal.
