Full Transcript for Full Show | Jonathan McReynolds Talks “Echo,” Faith Walk: When It is Hard to Forgive and E&G True Hollywood Bible Story: Sodom & Gomorrah

as Christ has forgiven us. You can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where the bitterness is, where the resentment is, where that anger lies, where the rebelliousness, where the offense lies. And I know when you feel like nothing is done about it, you feel justified in carrying a little bit of forgiveness. We say things that just mean I only forgive you just a little bit. But if I want all of God, then I have to I have to give everything. what I think I'm using to protect myself. And I pray that you have the strength to do that, to remember that release equals strength. That letting go means I'm trusting the strength of God. I'm trusting the power of God. I'm trusting the favor of God. I'm trusting that God will vindicate and take care of what I cannot. And so I pray that you have the strength to forgive today. 00:06:12 Speaker 1: Is it easy? No, I know we've all been there, you know, in him. 00:06:16 Speaker 4: Do we find redemption through the blood and the forgiveness of sins according to his. 00:06:21 Speaker 1: Riches and glory is what the word tells us. 00:06:23 Speaker 4: So let's make sure that we are praying for strength to forgive and let go. You know, some of you come to church and sit in with anger and unforgiveness in your heart to the person is supposed to be your pastor. 00:06:34 Speaker 1: Lord, have mercy. God forbid. 00:06:36 Speaker 3: So I'm praying for you. 00:06:37 Speaker 1: Your ability forgives. I mean, you bad. 00:06:39 Speaker 4: It's because you didn't leave the song mad because you got kicked off of the usher board. Not not you, Cheryl. 00:06:45 Speaker 1: Amen. 00:06:45 Speaker 4: You mad because it wasn't your assignment. Many people have said no to me. Many people have said, no, we don't. That's not really what we live for. If I hold forgiveness in my heart, they moved on with my life. I got a personal prison because I decided to keep them in my mind. 00:07:02 Speaker 1: No, don't do it. Get free. Get free today. You don't understand, Erica. 00:07:06 Speaker 6: I know. 00:07:06 Speaker 1: I just know. 00:07:07 Speaker 3: I don't understand. 00:07:08 Speaker 1: I don't. 00:07:08 Speaker 3: I don't. 00:07:09 Speaker 4: But I know what the scripture says. And if I believe God, I'm going to believe him all the way. I'm going to believe his power to heal my heart and heal my mind and allow me to. 00:07:17 Speaker 1: Walk in freedom. And literally the joy of the Lord is my strength. 00:07:22 Speaker 4: Strength from joy like imagine that you laughing and smiling and getting stronger in the lord because you have confidence in him not in the situation not in the person you're not trying to fix it he never told you to trust people anyway he said trust in the lord with all your heart All right. 00:07:38 Speaker 1: That's it.

Time for the E.N.G. True Hollywood Bible story. I'm just going to say Lot's wife. 00:13:12 Speaker 1: She was a fool. Here it is. Here it is on Get Up Mornings. 00:13:17 Speaker 14: In Genesis 19, God told Abraham that he would spare the city of Sodom if there. 00:13:24 Speaker 1: Was at least one righteous man. There wasn't one. 00:13:30 Speaker 5: So Abraham told Locke he needed to leave the city immediately. 00:13:37 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, everybody get your stuff. 00:13:38 Speaker 5: Uncle Abraham just told me we have to get out of the city right now. 00:13:42 Speaker 3: Babe, what you doing? 00:13:43 Speaker

1: I like this paint we put on the walls. You know, I like it here in Sodom. 00:13:46 Speaker 3: It's so nice. No, no, no, no. 00:13:47 Speaker 1: I got some good friends here. 00:13:49 Speaker 2: No, no. 00:13:50 Speaker 1: You know, I want to have a social next week. 00:13:51 Speaker 3: Babe. 00:13:53 Speaker 5: Listen, Uncle Abraham just said the Lord is going to send brimstone and fire to Sodom today. 00:13:59 Speaker 3: We have to leave right now, sweetheart. Get everything. Let's go. 00:14:03 Speaker 1: Slow down, Lot. Slow down. He's a good God. Why would he do that? It's nice when we're here. We just set up this nice tent. It's nice. We're going to have people over. 00:14:12 Speaker 6: Hold on. 00:14:12 Speaker 13: Hold on. 00:14:13 Speaker 1: Hold on. 00:14:13 Speaker 3: You smell that? That is fire. We got to go. Get the kids. 00:14:18 Speaker 1: Somebody probably just doing a sacrifice. They just making a sacrifice. We fine. We fine. Why you so nervous? Just chill out. 00:14:24 Speaker 3: Did you hear that? 00:14:26 Speaker 5: That is actually brimstone, sweetheart. We got to go. Just get the stuff. 00:14:30 Speaker 1: Let's not talk. I don't want to leave. 00:14:32 Speaker 5: This is an evil city. Uncle Abraham just said we got to get out of here today. 00:14:37 Speaker 3: Right now. Let's go. I'm going to grab my... Where is my. 00:14:40 Speaker 1: I cannot. 00:14:41 Speaker 9: I cannot with this man. I... I like this tent. I like my friends. I like this city. I do not want to go. 00:14:48 Speaker 5: Do you like the smell of smoke? Do you see what's around us right now? 00:14:52 Speaker 3: This is smoke. This is not a party. This is smoke right now. 00:14:56 Speaker 1: I don't smell nothing. 00:14:58 Speaker 5: Okay, how about this? Kids, get your mom. We're going to go. We have to leave right now. We're going to go this way. 00:15:04 Speaker 1: Wait, but I don't want. 00:15:05 Speaker 3: Babe, we're going to go this way. Just follow me. 00:15:08 Speaker 5: Oh, Abraham also said we cannot turn around. Once we leave, we can't turn around. So let's go. 00:15:14 Speaker 3: We got to go. Get your stuff. Everybody grab something. So even later, after they packed. All right, y'all, let's go. Now, listen, remember, no one turn around. We can't turn around. 00:15:25 Speaker 1: We have the donkeys. We have the sheeps. 00:15:27 Speaker 3: We got everything, sweetheart. 00:15:29 Speaker 1: Everybody got their stuff. 00:15:30 Speaker 3: Listen, this is not a good time. 00:15:32 Speaker 1: I don't get to say bye to my friends. I need you to focus. I'm focused. I packed up. Okay, I packed up. We leaving. I'm just saying. Can I be sad? 00:15:41 Speaker 3: All right, let's go. 00:15:42 Speaker 5: We going straight towards that mountain right there. No one turn around. 00:15:46 Speaker 3: Okay, everybody.

I see her right there. 00:16:12 Speaker 5: Oh, babe, I told you to come on. 00:16:18 Speaker 3: You done turned into some salt. 00:16:22 Speaker 5: Let me just grab a piece of your elbow because we don't never know if we're going to need some salt. 00:16:26 Speaker 3: Kids, I told y'all, y'all can't. You must listen to your dad. 00:16:32 Speaker 9: The moral of this story is when God tells you to go, don't turn around. 00:16:37 Speaker 1: Keep moving forward. And if you do decide to turn around, we will use you. 00:16:43 Speaker 3: On French fries. How about that? 00:16:48 Speaker 6: See? 00:16:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were right. 00:16:50 Speaker 1: She was a fool. Why you look bad, girl?

Let it change and transform your life. 00:17:02 Speaker 1: We got more on the way. The Erica-ism is up next on Get Up Mornings. 00:17:15 Speaker 2: You're listening to Get Up Mornings. The Erica-ism of the day. 00:17:21 Speaker 1: On Get Up Mornings with Erica Campbell. 00:17:23 Speaker 4: Yes, it's time for the Erica-ism and today I want to talk about pacing yourself. You know, when you get excited about something and you have new information and it's information that you absolutely want to share, whether it is finding out something about the insurance or, you know, some new revelation in scripture. I want to talk about pacing yourself. Sometimes when you are excited and you want to give everybody everything, if you give it in a way where they can't receive it because it feels a little intense, you know what I mean? 00:17:52 Speaker 1: Maybe even overbearing a little bit. 00:17:54 Speaker 4: Take your time and ask God to show you how to give them information in a way that they can receive it. Because if I give you something that I feel is valuable and you're not in the position of receiving it, I may be offended because of your response. But I think that you should always find out the capacity and where people are in their ability to receive information. You know, I have people in my life that just they just pick up the phone and start talking. They don't ask, are you busy? They don't ask, do you have time? They don't ask any of that. They just start talking. And so, you know, when you're in a big family, you just kind of have to adjust. But as adults, you do have the right to say, hey, give me, I don't have capacity for that right now. 00:18:32 Speaker 1: Give me a moment. 00:18:33 Speaker 4: Or if you just want to say, hey, I'm a little busy. Let me create a moment where I can give you my undivided attention. I think it allows you to give them whatever you

want to give them in your excitable way, whatever that is. But also have them really listen and not sitting there trying to figure out when you're going to hurry up and finish. Just because you're excited doesn't mean they're excited. And that's not offensive. 00:18:55 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 00:18:56 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm trying to help y'all be better. So now you want to beat them up with good information. That doesn't work either. You have to make sure that they're in a position to receive it. You know, whether this is parents talking to older children, trying to give them good advice, you should at least create a space where they feel like I can listen, not just I'm being yelled at or I'm just being given something and being judged if I don't get it in the way you want me to get it. You know, everybody doesn't do this. I'm just offering this advice because it's something that I use. Honestly, I did not always know how to do this because I was always worried about somebody's feeling. 00:19:30 Speaker 1: They're going to be offended. They're going to be offended. So I don't have time. 00:19:33 Speaker 4: I'm not really listening because I have something else to do just to appease their feelings. Well, that's not smart either. I think that you can always speak your truth in love, whether you are talking to a parent, a sibling, or even a spouse. 00:19:44 Speaker 1: You know, babe, give me a minute. Let me clear my head. 00:19:46 Speaker 4: I had this and this and this planned because when I tell you one, one, to have an idea, he's just going to give it to you. And I have to tell him I have three other really important things in my brain. Let me clear that out, and then I'll have space for you to really pay attention. And it's really not so much about them. It's about you being able to express it in a way they receive it. Because no one loves giving great information that nobody wanted to hear. Or they didn't have time to hear. Or they were consumed in paying attention to something else. So just make sure you have a good audience when you talk. Make sure that their heart and mind is ready to receive. So they receive it with joy and not rolling their eyes and smacking their teeth. Because maybe you always have great information. And they weren't able to apply the last information. And then you give them two more informations. I know, bad English, but you understand what I'm saying. Two more rounds of great things to pay attention to. And, you know, and then they haven't caught up yet. Sometimes it literally takes time for your brain to hear something multiple times to even be able to see it and articulate it yourself before it sets in and takes place. That's actually like a real thing, especially in marketing. If you're giving somebody something, you can't expect them to hear it one time and remember everything, especially if there's a lot of details. So making sure that you have space and they have the capacity. 00:20:55 Speaker 1: To hear it. 00:20:56 Speaker 4: And then remember, you're going to have to say it again, right? So they remember. The same way you're not going to remember every single thing I said right now. Yeah, just like that. 00:21:04 Speaker 1: You got to tell them again. Let's get up mornings, y'all. That's my Erica-ism of the day. Love you and I mean. 00:21:18 Speaker 2: It. You're listening to Get Up. 00:21:19 Speaker 9: Morning. 00:21:22 Speaker 1: Let the church say amen. 00:21:25 Speaker 10: Amen. 00:21:25 Speaker 6: Amen.

I feel like they're always so grounded in something that maybe we don't talk about often, but we should. And you wrap it in music in such an amazing way. It reminds us of the prayers. Man, I mean, first off. 00:26:45 Speaker 7: My mother's prayers. You know, she's always praying every day. You know, that is the first person, maybe the only person that I remember every night, you know, actually getting on her knees on the bedside to pray. And so, first of all, hers, but also my grandmother. You know, she's gone on to be with the Lord now, but... I know that she was absolutely a praying something, man. Praying, reading, studying in the morning. And so, you know, two people who I. 00:27:13 Speaker 1: Just saw be diligent. My mother, my grandmother. I love it. 00:27:18 Speaker 4: The album Closer was recorded live in your hometown of Chicago. And you blended 80s and pop and acoustic soul and worship along some of the most powerful collaborators. So what did bringing this album home mean? um mean for you what was this moment like for you oh it. 00:27:35 Speaker 7: Was incredible it was a movie um you know it was really cool you know definitely had my friends there tasha coves and tim bowman and uh just a lot of jamal uh robbers came through and and we you know we we have already gone through the cycle of steel and so i'm just really grateful for the support on that song as well yeah but i'm it was just a really cool night uh you never know how things are gonna work But I don't really make music sometimes for it to work. I just make it to be authentic to where I am in that season. 00:28:09 Speaker 1: And it really worked out. 00:28:11 Speaker 4: I love that honesty and that vulnerability that you're willing to show, especially as a man. 00:28:16 Speaker 1: I think we are used to it from women. But for you, it just. 00:28:19 Speaker 4: It just opens up so much freedom for people to really be who they are and be honest. 00:28:24 Speaker 1: So thank you so much for that. Go ahead, Griff.

Following dispute over his gameplay and subsequent adult confrontation, right? The coach said that when he took Nevada out of the game, the parents were inquiring about why you took my kid out. 00:39:28 Speaker 1: And so that's what parents do, right? 00:39:31 Speaker 9: But he was winning so bad, like he was doing so good that the other parents were offended and they called the police. 00:39:38 Speaker

I-9 Sports stated that the police call was triggered by a verbal altercation between adults. and that they were reviewing the local incident. But it's no need. Now the parents can put him in a real training camp, and he can really become a phenom. 00:40:20 Speaker 1: We're going to be watching this little boy. 00:40:22 Speaker 9: He's only three, but we're going to be watching him grow up to be the soccer. 00:40:26 Speaker 1: Player that he really can be.
