let that blow, like not even think about it. 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.000 But when you really do think about it, like what traits, what positive or negative traits are you gonna take from your parent to your grandparents? 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.600 And then what are you gonna leave your kids with? 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.480 Are you gonna leave them with your baggage or are you gonna leave them with positive things to move forward into their future with? 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.279 Yeah. 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:19.439 It's it's kind of like a um a slap in the face almost, like how much you're like when you are getting raised, they're teaching you all of their habits, whether they're good or bad. 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:30.079 And then when you raise others, whether they're your own kids or just like your like younger sibling or friends, like you know, like whatever is after you that you're around a lot will pick up what you do too. 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:48.959 And so it's important to watch what you say, and even just like we've kind of talked about this before, but search search yourself and see, like maybe you learned something from someone along the way, and you just and that wasn't a very good habit or godly habit or something, and you that's something that you need to put down and not teach the next generation. 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:49.439 Yeah. 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:57.759 One of the things that he said that really hit home for me about this the same topic was you should never just live something you've never questioned why it's practiced. 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:06.319 So it's like you can't just take on what the previous generation has done just because you must know why you're doing it. 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:13.120 Like with the story of the guy with he would never park in the garage, and two generations later he still didn't park in the garage. 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.000 And then he went back to ask that grandpa, you know, like, hey, why? 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.920 Why did you never park in the garage? 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.480 And it was because oh, couldn't clean it out, you know. 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.600 My wife put so much stuff in there I couldn't couldn't do anything either. 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.959 Yeah, so this whole time their car is getting like sun damaged for no reason, right? 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:27.439 Right. 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:41.600 Yeah, that's a it's a funny example, but that can that can show itself in harmful habits that you've just always had, and somewhere along the way, some conscious that you may have just accepted that that's just how I do things. 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.840 That's that's how I roll, that's just who I am. 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:51.120 Um I'm gonna have to work around this, and God's gonna have to work around this with me when it's really just something that you picked up along the way. 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.320 Yeah, something that was ingrained in you, and you may need to start letting the Lord peel some of that back. 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:04.399 And that's why, again, it's so important why if you are the one teaching the younger generation, you explain why you do what you do. 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.600 Uh, I can't remember when, but I think that there was a message on it. 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:08.240 I can't remember. 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.519 But like explaining what the reasons you're doing it. 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.720 So, like, why do you pray? 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.000 You know, like explain to your kids or your the people around you why you're praying. 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:24.000 Like, if you're gonna raise the next generation and they we know that they pick up habits you have, and then their habit starts becoming prayer. 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:34.960 You don't want them to ever be in life questioning why you even pray, but you want them to know the reason so they can also continue that habit with like full on um confidence, I guess. 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:42.159 Yeah, you could explain it like the point, like the reason we do things with full-on belief, yeah, and knowing how to tell somebody who would ask. 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:42.879 Yeah, yeah. 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:50.799 It's almost like you have to ask yourself, am I doing this out of pure tradition just because it's been done before and that's what's been passed down to me? 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.799 Or am I practicing this for a reason that's changing my life or changing the lives of others around me? 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.320 Yeah, yeah, I like that. 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:04.559 Yeah, that's really important because if you've group if you've grown up in church, the tradition, very obvious, you go to church on Sunday. 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:04.799 Yeah. 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.799 That's a tradition that all of us are gonna get um if you grow up in church. 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.240 Very common tradition. 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.159 I mean, that's what you do as a Christian. 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:28.480 At some point in your walk with God, um, especially when you start growing up and become a a grown man or woman, that's gonna have to shift from being something that you do just because you've always done, into I'm intentionally going to church on Sunday because I want to experience God or I want to pour into the kingdom. 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:28.799 Yeah. 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:42.080 And it has to be with all those things, like you said, prayer can't just be a tradition that you've that you're doing because your parents always did it, or whoever your guardian was, or whoever your spiritual role model was because they always did it. 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.080 It it has to transition into I'm doing this because I want to pray. 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.559 Yeah. 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:51.759 And then that'll get passed on, like you were saying, the proper way on to whoever's watching you.

00:10:52.159 --> 00:11:00.879 Because if you're just going through the motions because you learned or because of this learned behavior, you don't really know why, that same cycle is gonna continue. 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:01.279 Yeah. 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.519 Yeah. 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:09.039 The people who follow after you who pick up from you, they're also gonna pick up that kind of confusion, that not really knowing why you're doing what you're doing. 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.679 Yeah. 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:21.840 And I like he told the story of that Ben Carson guy, and like pretty much this girl Sonia Carson, she had to raise two children on her own and she was a single mother, and she only had, I think it was like a third grade education, like that was the highest her education got. 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:36.720 And obviously, it would be easy for her to just kind of sit back and let her kids have a horrible education or turn out kind of not how she did in a way that's like she's a failure, but I'm saying, like, you know, to to not expect them to go get this great education and have great goals for them. 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.600 But her son, Ben Carson, he went to Yale and he became like, I think, a neurosurgeon. 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.320 Something great, like something like very successful. 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:50.960 And it kind of just shows that, you know, his circumstances from his past doesn't that doesn't determine what his future's gonna look like. 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.279 Right. 00:11:51.440 --> 00:12:03.600 And I think like the main thought around this is what um Pastor Jonathan had said is how your history is an explanation of like why, like how things are or why things are, but it's not a prophecy for what it's going to be, what it has to be. 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:19.759 And I really like that because who you've been and the mistakes you've made and like what you've gone through does not determine, like it might determine why you are the way you are right now, why you let emotion take over, or why you let this happen in your life, why you think this way, but that doesn't mean that that's your baggage that you're carrying for the rest of your life. 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.799 That's how it's gonna be. 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.840 Like, you don't have to just accept the negative things that you've like picked up along the way. 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:26.799 That's right. 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.120 Yeah, because your history that you inherit doesn't have to be your destiny. 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:40.720 And I think that's what um God was really trying to speak through Pastor Jonathan that we all have a history, and for some of us, that history can be really negative. 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.120 You can come from a very bad history. 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.519 Um and that's just life. 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:52.320 Yeah you're you're just born where you're born and to who you're born to, and sometimes

that's that's not favorable. 00:12:52.879 --> 00:13:07.759 And the what he was really trying to get across is what you were just saying, Audrey, is that your circumstances of you know, where you're born, of what those that have come before you in your line have done, that doesn't have to define your life. 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.240 Yeah. 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:15.679 Um, if you come from a line of alcoholics, that doesn't mean that you are going to be an alcoholic, that you have to be one. 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.879 If you come from a line of you're the first Christian in your family, yeah. 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:28.080 That that doesn't mean that you that you aren't like someone else in this, like any of us on this podcast who have multiple generations in this. 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:28.480 Yeah. 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:37.279 Doesn't mean that someone that they're the first Christian in their entire bloodline, doesn't mean that they're different than us, that we're better than them, that we have more ground in the kingdom than them. 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:37.600 Yeah. 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.879 Doesn't define any of that. 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.240 There your your past doesn't define what your future can be. 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.519 And that's that's right, yeah. 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.519 That's the a really powerful theme. 00:13:45.759 --> 00:14:01.600 Yeah, and to go along with both of what y'all both just said, um even for like a lot of things, not just the grand scheme of like Jesus or not, e even if you can't get there doesn't mean you should hold the people back around you too. 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:09.360 So, like the same story that you were just saying, she didn't have more than a third grade education, but that didn't stop her from trying to help her kids know more than she did. 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.759 She would make them read two books a week and make them write book reports that she could barely even read. 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.440 But you know, they didn't know any difference and it taught them more than she would ever know. 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:17.679 Yeah. 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:24.879 And it was because she wasn't selfish and held herself back from the possibilities that her kids could have that they were able to go and be more, you know? 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:35.519 And so no matter what side of the table you're on, it matters your actions and how you treat like okay, it matters what your thought process is on things. 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.840 Like, if she would have thought that she she didn't get a third grade education, her kids had no hope, what would what would really be out of them, you know? 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:48.000 But since she couldn't get more than a third grade education, that didn't mean that she had to keep her sons from getting more than a third grade education. 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:53.279 It it like it probably drove her to get them a higher education to let them be better. 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:58.159 Because I mean, a good mother wants her children to be better than she ever was, you know, like a good parent. 00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.440 And that can be difficult. 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:07.919 I think you can compare that because she was pushing her kids into what she did not know, so her unknown, which ended up making them stronger and making them grow better. 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.399 Yeah, yeah. 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:24.320 And many times that it's how it is in our relationship with God is that going into the unknown, that's the part that really is the most tricky part, but then we end up being closer to him in the end or progressing more than we ever believed we could from the previous generation or from where we were currently, then then on. 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.039 Yeah, yeah. 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:34.000 I think it really comes down to that, just just like Sonia, it it has to come to a point where you don't let the past hold you back. 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:40.159 She realistically, she probably had no idea what she was doing, trying to raise these boys as smart kids. 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.639 She she wasn't trained for this, no one prepared her for this. 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:55.120 Like you said, she was she had a third-grade education, she didn't know how to teach, and yet her son, Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, that came from a uh what you would describe as a rocky history. 00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:00.480 They they had a rough life, and incredible things came from that. 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.240 And that all started with her decision to I'm not gonna let my kids are gonna be better than me. 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.919 Yeah, I'm gonna push them farther than I was able to make it. 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.799 Yeah, she had to make that. 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.440 Yeah, I'm gonna give them a better upbringing than I got. 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:14.960 Yeah, that type of thing. 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:20.799 Um, it has to be that mentality that no matter what you came from, you don't have to be defined by it. 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:44.080 And I think there's um no greater example than the example he uses, obviously, other than Sonia and the Sons of Korra in the Bible. 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.559 Something that I never would have thought of reading the Bible. 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:52.399 Like I was I've probably read over that like ten times, and it's like genealogy stuff. 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.639 I mean, what you're just reading through it. 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:58.879 What what good-mannered Christian actually looks through those things and picks them apart, right? 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:05.200 But what I'm saying, we read that, and like sure I read it and I look at the names, but I never think deeper into it. 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:12.319 And what Pastor Jonathan brought up was actually like the kind of the core of where this message came from, he said. 00:17:12.640

--> 00:17:19.920 Um if you read in the Old Testament, the sons of Korah are our Korah, where do we get the term the sons of Korah from the family Korah? 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:24.880 They were rebellious, and it got to the point where God was like, We gotta deal with this. 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.440 That's right. 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.119 And so basically their bloodline was almost wiped out. 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:36.880 And I I I don't have the exact verses off the top of my head, so I'm not preaching this like Pastor Jonathan would preach it, but basically, that's the theme. 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:46.160 They they they were a problem, and this led to them having the the family of Korra, the sons of Korrah, what their history was was re rebellion. 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.119 Yeah, it was they were outcast, that was their history. 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:54.400 They they came from a line that rebelled against God to the point where God felt like they needed to be dealt with. 00:17:54.799 --> 00:18:05.279 That was their history, and the Bible never comes outright and says in a verse like the sons of Korrah were redeemed. 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:19.359 But if you look through the genealogy and the records in the Old Testament, you start seeing mentions of the sons of Korah later, where they were serving as worship leaders, they were serving as doorkeepers in high places in the kingdom. 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:19.680 That's right. 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:24.720 They were doing all of these things that if you just looked at them from their history, it makes no sense. 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:25.200 Yeah. 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:35.920 These are the sons of a rebellious family, they're outcast, and yet they didn't let that define them, they didn't run away and hide, they didn't curse their genealogy or or any of that. 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.880 They they became worshippers, they became workers and servers in the kingdom. 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.920 And I mean, if that's not an example, then I don't know what is. 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:50.960 Yeah, I don't I don't think you can get much worse in your family history than your ancestors literally got wiped out by God. 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.960 So I don't I don't think you can get much worse than that. 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.720 And yet they came from that and now they're worship leaders. 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.640 Now they are serving God's kingdom. 00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.200 Yeah. 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:00.880 And that's powerful. 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.920 Yeah, I really like that. 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.799 It could have taken one generation to say, hey, you know what? 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.119 I'm not gonna live like that, like they did. 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.759 I'm gonna be the determining factor for the future. 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:16.720 Yeah, I'm gonna change the trajectory, I'm gonna live differently to push that newer sense and that newer label of who we are. 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.200 Yeah. 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:26.799 Because like that's a crazy example, but you can so often find yourself in that situation where you feel like you don't you don't deserve to serve in the kingdom. 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.519 You feel like that. 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.039 You don't deserve to to be where someone else that's grown up in this has been. 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:42.400 I mean, imagine how a young son or daughter in that family could have felt thinking of what their ancestors have done, how they were wiped out because of their rebellion. 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.759 How easy would it have been for them to truly believe that, you know, who am I to serve God? 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.920 Who am I to try to sing? 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:54.720 Who am I to become a worshiper and serve and acquire or become a worship leader? 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.319 Who am I to even think about doing that? 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:56.720 Yeah. 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:03.039 You can so easily let your history dictate your life, and that's not what God wants for you. 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.839 You don't have to be held down and shackled by that. 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:06.240 Yeah. 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.039 That's right. 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:08.240 Very true. 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:08.799 Yeah. 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.559 I liked um he started talking about the three main points that he had. 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:12.880 Uh-huh. 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.880 Um, the first one was be sure that your example doesn't undermine your teaching. 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839 So basically, like your actions speak louder than your words. 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.240 You can teach the right principles, but you could show completely different things than you're saying. 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:28.559 And it is so easy to have kind of like a double standard for yourself. 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.200 Like, okay, I'm gonna teach this, but I'm not gonna live it. 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:44.720 And that's one thing that I think we've all talked about before, probably on the podcast, how you know, now that we're on a podcast, it's important that we aren't hypocrites, that we don't come on here and we say, This is how you live in the light, and then we go live in darkness and we go do complete opposite of what we say. 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:58.640 That's how you know that Pastor Jonathan is a he practices what he preaches because way back when we first started this podcast, he sat down with all of us in his office and was like, you know, now that y'all are out there and y'all are speaking this, you you gotta live it. 00:20:58.799 --> 00:20:59.039 Yeah. 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.039 Um, and so that's his credibility. 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.720 But yeah, it's your point that that yeah, you you have to live what you preach. 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:07.039 Yeah. 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:16.000 And he used that, he tied it into the

whole, you know, about the past and the generations by saying, like, that the attitudes that we show to our future generations is what they're gonna take with them. 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.240 Like, like, and then he started talking about, I think, the seed of resentment or bitterness or something. 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:25.119 And he said that a seed of resentment in one generation produces a harvest of rebellion in the next. 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.359 Yeah. 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:31.599 How what we teach to our generations to come is what they're gonna teach to theirs, and it only gets worse. 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:31.920 Yeah, yeah. 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.640 Like if we teach slight bitterness, like it said, it's gonna go to resentment. 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.640 I mean, to resentment and then to rebellion, and it's just gonna get worse worse and worse and worse. 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:50.400 Yeah, they're gonna the people who take from you, whether that be your kids or just younger people who are influenced by you, they're gonna be influenced by everything. 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.359 Yeah, you can teach them and say, You have to pray. 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:59.759 Prayer is important, but they're gonna watch how you respond when changes happen in the church, they're gonna watch how you respond to. 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.400 Any problems or drama or issues that go on with the body, how you respond to that, how you react. 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.200 They're gonna watch how you react to leadership, how you react to correction. 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:18.400 And if you're not living up to what you're preaching, that's just gonna compound into confusion in how they live. 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:19.599 Yeah, that's right. 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:29.359 They may get to the point where they're praying, but they just naturally feel uh competitive towards church leadership, and they may not even know why. 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:39.039 And it's because when they were a kid, when pastor changed something, you didn't like it, and you may have never said something like that in the church, but in your own house you showed it. 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.480 That was such a good point that he had said that I really can go for anything. 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:50.079 They're gonna watch everything and and the smallest little things, and this isn't just pointed towards parents. 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:57.599 If you're a young person, 15 years old in your church, the 10-year-olds, 11-year-olds, they're gonna be watching from you, they're gonna be learning from you. 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:05.440 And it may seem like a lot, and I'm not trying to scare you with the this huge burden of responsibility, but just know that keep it on your mind. 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:06.400 There are people watching. 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.319 Yeah, whether you know it or not, there are people that are going to be influenced by you. 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:16.720 Not gonna lie, I agree everything with what Hudson just said, but I do think that it is sorry, I just hit you. 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:17.759 I do think that it is a big burden. 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:20.799 No, I do think that it is a big burden. 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.480 No, I mean like it it isn't something to just kind of push off. 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:30.799 Like, I feel like it's almost kind of what happens so often is that it isn't that big of a deal to do that. 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.960 Oh, yeah, no, I wasn't saying to push them off. 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.960 I'm saying that like don't let that scare you. 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.519 Yeah, just know that that's happening. 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:39.039 But know that it is a big burden. 00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:40.480 Like, whatever is important. 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:56.799 Yeah, whatever you say around others truly does matter because it may be a group of friends even that don't even go to your church, but you said one thing about somebody in your church or about somebody who is on the the staff at your church, and then they go to your church one day and they're like, Oh, that's the person you're talking about, that's blah blah blah blah blah. 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:20.319 Yeah, and it's like it's setting a bad example for the the family of church, like the family of um of your church, like that's your your community, and you're talking bad about them to people outside your community, you know, and it's imagine how confusing that is too you have this person reaching out to you, um, you as someone in the world that isn't in church, you have this person reaching out to you trying to get you to come to church, but the next sentence they're talking bad about their church. 00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:22.240 Like it's what an example is that. 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.240 Why would I want to why would I want to go there? 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.039 Yeah, yeah. 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.160 But yeah, I really enjoyed that point when he said it too. 00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:39.200 Um and I think the key to making sure that we don't do that, and like you you could be thinking probably right now as a listener, like, man, like how do I make sure I don't do that? 00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.799 Like, even in the small things, like because you know I'm gonna mess up, I'm gonna do one thing wrong at some point. 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:51.039 Well, yeah, you will, but there's one thing that he said during the sermon that really caught my attention. 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.240 It said, fall he said, fall in love with God. 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:59.200 Don't follow this because you don't want to go to hell, fall in love with it. 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:10.720 And that just that's a testament to what he was talking about the whole time is that you know, if your heart's there and you know why you're doing what you're doing, what you're practicing, then it's a part of who you are. 00:25:10.880 -->

00:25:13.039 Yeah, and then you can't fake that, right? 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.640 You can't fake that, and then also it's gonna spill out to those around you. 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.880 And I mean, you're less likely to make a mistake whenever you're in love with what you're doing. 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.319 Yeah, yeah. 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:29.279 Um, another point he said when he was talking about that was um to love what you do, you have to submit, you know? 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:35.200 Yeah, you have to submit to God to start growing a relationship with him and and truly fall in love with him. 00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.440 But submission's also not easy. 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.559 And a point he made that was so good was he said, if it was easy and you wanted to do it, it's not submission. 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:52.880 Because submission is hard for you to do, you know, like you don't want to have to um I don't like you don't it's not something that's gonna be an easy yes. 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.799 Like giving up anything means that you have an attachment with it, so it's not going to be easy. 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.759 But if God asks you like give up, I don't know, what something like like give up to social media or TV? 00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.960 Like is it gonna be impossible? 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.680 No, can I do it? 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.200 Yes, but is it gonna be kind of hard? 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.240 Also, yeah, that's the point of a sacrifice, yeah. 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:09.279 Yes, exactly. 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:13.680 It's the submission is a sacrifice in it, and that's what's so important, you know? 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.359 Like to grow that relationship with God, to fall in love with him so much. 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:33.440 In order to grow that relationship and fall in love with what what Jesus is and praying with him and spending time with him, it is gonna take that that hard step, you know, the submission to break yourself down, dire to yourself in order to live for God and not for yourself, you know. 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:35.519 Yeah, yeah, because that's the beginning of all this. 00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:41.519 Like Luke was saying, to to really have that foundation, it has to come from a love from Jesus. 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:42.079 Yeah. 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.799 To have that that love, it submission's a part of that. 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.759 It's tied into that. 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:49.440 You can't just not have it. 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.079 So it's like a walk down, like a boom boom. 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:53.359 Walk them down, yeah. 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.640 Walk him down. 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:13.119 Um, another point, kind of we're kind of skipping around, but the second point that he made was what has been passed down does not have to be passed on, which is kind of like what we've been talking about, like breaking generational patterns, but just basically like think about how many of us are carrying something that you know doesn't belong to us. 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:16.000 Like that's something that we got from a a previous generation. 00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.119 Like, we all have something, because nobody's perfect. 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:23.119 We all have some kind of negative quality that we've just learned, and that's just how life goes. 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.559 But sometimes we give like he said this too. 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.559 Sometimes we give the enemy too much credit for things. 00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:35.839 Yeah, like sometimes we're like, oh man, it's the the enemy making me do this, but really it's just something that like we learn from like our our great grandma when we were. 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.279 Being exposed to it, you know, yeah, like just being exposed to the environment. 00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:47.599 Yeah, and like it's not even big things, it could be things like like anger or like too like emotions, letting emotions take control of things or low self-esteem. 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:56.880 You see that a lot, especially in this generation, like very much my self-image and like oh, I don't think I'm pretty enough, I don't think I'm like skinny enough, I don't think I do this right. 00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:01.039 Like it's just a thing that we're seeing, I feel like a lot more than it used to be. 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.319 So I don't know. 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:13.920 I feel like there's always like some version of that in each generation, and it's just well, I just think what I'd just say is I believe that's true because of the culture that we have with social media. 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:22.960 Oh, yeah, you're not just being influenced by parents, you're being influenced by for some kids as young as like four, by the entire world basically. 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.799 So many all in one. 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:36.880 And so that feeling of I'm not enough or I'm not that or I'm not as good as this, or just anything that you can take in, that's just compounded by all the different influences that you get. 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.240 And that's that that can be very harmful for who you grow up to be. 00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.200 That's right. 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.599 Yeah. 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:43.599 No social media kids at all. 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.640 Just getting out of here. 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:46.720 Until you're at least listen to your parents. 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:48.240 Disclaimer. 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.640 Yeah. 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:54.720 But basically, just um he kind of made that point saying change what's being like, change the negative things that are being repeated. 00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:59.200 Like if you catch yourself having anger problems because you saw it from your parents. 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.680 No, we're not calling out any parents, but like you know what I mean? 00:29:01.839 -->

00:29:04.799 Yeah, but like this feels like very like parents are bad and either. 00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:08.319 I know I know, but it's just like don't pass that down to your kids. 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.359 Like identify it now. 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:10.319 That's kind of what we're talking about. 00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:10.720 Yeah. 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.200 And it's kind of it's very much now a parenting episode. 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.480 Like, I don't know what's happening. 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.160 None of us are parents teach your children. 00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.799 But it's just like I'm only gonna say what Pastor Jonathan said. 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:19.359 Yeah, exactly. 00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:20.240 He's a parent. 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:20.799 Yeah, yeah. 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:21.680 He knows what he's doing. 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.720 Yeah, he's your parent. 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.039 Yep. 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:24.000 Can't continue. 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.359 Dude, that's too personal. 00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:26.720 Sorry, sorry, sorry. 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:34.319 Um, basically, just like what we were saying with every generation, we can all decide what we want to pass down to the next generation. 00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:43.599 And I don't I don't think we're approaching it from a from like a terrible perspective because if you think about it, if you ask your parents, they're like, No, you're supposed to be better than I was. 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:48.720 You know, I I want you to grow and be more than I can ever be and I have ever been. 00:29:49.200 --> 00:30:04.000 So I think this is more from the perspective of progressing and growing closer and closer and closer with each generation, not saying, like not putting down or putting back the old gener older generation's ways or a certain thing that they did that we don't do now. 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:07.279 You know, it there's a time and a place and a season for everything. 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:18.000 Yeah, so I think if you take anything from it, it's just be aware that no matter who you are, whether you're the parent, the child, or just anywhere in between, they're influences. 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.319 You're influencing people, you're being influenced. 00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.880 So you just gotta be aware that that's happening. 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:28.000 It can be mindless things, it can be the way that you see and talk about yourself. 00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:33.759 Yeah, and the people around you pick up on that, and then years down the road, they have self-image problems as well. 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:42.160 You just gotta be aware that it's gonna sound like I'm calling people selfish, but not everything that that's going on is to you. 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:45.440 It's the people around you are gonna be affected by that as well. 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.799 Yeah, yeah. 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:08.400 And actually, if you think about it,

a big theme of this is that faith must become action. 00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:14.799 So it's and that brings us like to the idea that we've had in James before with like faith without works is dead. 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:21.279 Yeah, you know, so it's like we have to make sure that we have both components and in the right place, you know. 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.200 Yeah kind of like you making a gumbo. 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.240 You gotta have everything, you gotta have everything right, right proportions, you know. 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:26.960 That's funny. 00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:28.559 You see, I really like that. 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:32.079 That um that what did you just say, Luke? 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.720 Gumbo. 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.000 Faith must be not that action. 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:35.039 Thanks, Francis. 00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:35.920 Gumbo. 00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:37.599 We know where bro's mind is. 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.359 Yeah, faith must become action. 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:51.359 I think that's really important for what we're talking about because there's a difference between say that you just have anger issues and you always thought that was because of how you were raised, and you thought that was just that. 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:53.279 You can recognize that. 00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:57.200 Maybe you're just recognizing that after listening to the message or hearing the podcast. 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:07.200 But if you don't, you know, take the step of faith to realize that you can change and actually take that step and change and let God work in you, then you're kind of just right where you started. 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.920 You just know what's going on now, and that's not where you need to be. 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:19.200 Um, you can come from your past and recognize that you know, maybe this is coming from my past, but you also have to take that step and break that. 00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.880 Yeah, it doesn't do you much good if you just know what's going on. 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.200 Um, you have to also take the step. 00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:27.920 You can't know what's going on and just accept that as part of you. 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:29.920 You gotta take that step of faith. 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:30.559 Yeah, yeah. 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.240 And you can kind of apply faith must become action to your everyday life. 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.039 At least I can. 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:44.799 Like for me, if I have a really difficult test coming up, I I have to first believe that I can pass it, I can understand the material before I go and start doing it. 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.200 Yeah. 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:51.759 Because I mean, you could like some people just just start, but for me, I really have to have a good mindset going into it. 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:56.000 Like, hey, I'm gonna put in as much work as I can, I'm gonna do as much as I can. 00:32:56.079 --> 00:33:02.559 Yeah, I'm gonna act to the best of my ability on this this subject, and I'm hoping and praying that this is gonna work out. 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:04.559 Yeah, you know, yeah, 100%. 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.440 I like that. 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.559 I agree. 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:15.920 Um, going back into one of those um the the things we were talking about like the examples of the examples, yeah, of like pass down traits. 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:17.279 Yes, yes, yes. 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.400 Um one of the ones he said that really kind of stood out to me was um you can't have selective obedience. 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:32.960 And that one's super important because I feel I feel that happens a lot is you read something, you kind of make an excuse for it, and you decide that you're not gonna live it. 00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:38.480 And then your kids see that, or your family or your sister, or your friends, and they're like, oh, you know what, if they're doing it, why can't I? 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.680 Or maybe they're doing it like I can do it too, you know. 00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:48.240 It just creates this this this world of questioning, and I I don't know. 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:54.880 I know what you're saying because it's it goes deeper than just that one scenario where you had selective obedience. 00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.640 Say like you're talking about from like reading the Bible and selectively being obedient to something. 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:09.039 Yeah, it it it's not just gonna be that that one thing that you choose to be selectively obedient on, like you were saying. 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:16.079 Maybe you read it and you just decide for yourself that I don't really need to follow that, and it's not a heaven or hell issue, and you push on. 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:27.280 Well, people being influenced by you, especially if you're a parent, your kids see that, and they're not just gonna inherit that one thing that you decided we don't have to follow that, or I don't have to follow that. 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:34.000 They're gonna inherit the mentality of if this pushes me, I can work my way around it. 00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:39.039 Yeah, they're gonna inherit the deeper mentality of if I don't really like this, I can't. 00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:40.000 Yeah, what can I cherry? 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.960 What can I skip out? 00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.119 That's a good way to put it how close can I get to the line? 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:48.079 They're gonna inherit that whole mentality of it's all right to be selectively obedient. 00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:55.679 Um, and that's that's just goes into how dangerous all of this is because it's always gonna be deeper than just what you think. 00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.320 Yeah, yeah. 00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:11.920 And like with that, looking at myself, is it got me with all the points which um we'll get to in a second, but it got me thinking, like you you can't risk the next

generation's salvation by being lax in our soul, like by being. 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:17.119 But just small areas, yeah, in our salvation or in our lives or our walk with God. 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:23.599 Like, we can't we can't risk having our family line of Christians stop here, you know. 00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:31.679 Like, I don't I don't want that to happen, and so it just made me kind of realize like there's a lot more to them what we just normally think, yeah. 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:44.079 Because yeah, I was gonna say that it really plays into each other because I think another one of the the specific examples like you were saying that he brought up was excusing your bad behavior, or something like that, I think. 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.159 Something like that, yeah. 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:49.280 But that can play in directly into the message. 00:35:49.599 --> 00:36:00.480 You can have a habit from your past that you grew up with and you've accepted that and it's a bad habit, but the way you say it is, oh, that's just how I was raised, that's just how I am. 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.840 Yeah, justifying it. 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:07.039 That can compound into your kid inheriting that mentality. 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.800 Yeah, they're not just gonna inherit the oh I I get angry because our family has an angry streak. 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.639 They're gonna inherit the mentality that you can explain away your your faults, yeah. 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:18.639 And you can't justify it. 00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:21.920 And I like again, it it's it it runs deep. 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:23.760 That's just the point that I'm trying to hit at. 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:25.840 Yeah. 00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:35.679 Yeah, and like I know we've covered a couple of the things from the list, but there was a couple more that we that we can go through and like talk about like about picking and choosing. 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:37.199 That's kind of what this list was about. 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.519 Number one was uh questioning authority, yeah. 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:44.960 And then there's the one that Ramsey kind of started and talked about was selective obedience. 00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:48.400 Then there's resentment of correction, that's a big one. 00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:55.679 Um four, entitlement, and then five, what you were just talking about, Hudson, justifying our bad or negative attitudes, yeah, or negative things. 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:01.280 Yeah, because some of those can really compound throughout generations, throughout influence, it grows. 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:14.400 Um like if you're questioning authority, say Ramsey, I had an issue with your dad and the way he was running the church, and I have kids, and that's kind of the conversations I have with my family behind closed doors. 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:24.159 My kids aren't just gonna grow up and have a distaste for your dad, they're not gonna trust church leadership, period, as

much as they should, and that's how that's gonna grow. 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:30.719 Um so all of these things, they're just gonna compound stronger into the people you're influencing, and that's what you have to keep in mind. 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.920 Yeah, and I think that'll it'll cause you to question more than just authority, it'll cause you to start questioning God's authority in general. 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:49.199 Like, you know, like because those are men of God or leaders of God, women of God, whatever the authority is in that that area you're questioning is is God's authority, you know. 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:55.519 Like then you're starting to question much more than just like the leaders of the church, and it's it's crazy. 00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:57.599 It's crazy how like deep things are. 00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:58.719 Yeah, yeah. 00:37:58.960 --> 00:37:59.519 It's terrible. 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:04.000 I mean, because you could become the seed of disunity, yeah, literally, in your church. 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:15.599 Yeah, and like there's so many examples we can pull from, but I think it all just it goes back to the central point that you have to be aware of the seeds you're playing. 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.599 I like what you just said, uh Luke Luke, and it's not just about a seed of disunity, it's seeds in general. 00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.480 No matter what you're doing, to the people watching you, you're planting a seed. 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.039 Yeah, yeah. 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:28.239 Yeah, even if you aren't actively thinking about it, you're planting one. 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:33.840 Yeah, and that seed can be good and benefit those people, or it can be bad and it can harm them. 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:35.920 You just always gotta be aware of that. 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.239 Um, I feel like that's that's a real pull. 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.800 Um, one of the core like themes of this message is that you're always planting seeds for the next generation, and that's true. 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:46.480 You have to make sure it's good seeds. 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:51.840 That's your responsibility as someone that's passing that on, is you have to make sure that you are planting good seeds. 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:53.199 That's right. 00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:54.000 Yeah. 00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:57.519 The other one was uh resentment of correction. 00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:57.920 Yeah. 00:38:58.639 --> 00:38:59.840 That's just a big one in general. 00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:04.320 Yeah, kind of like what we were talking about, but the way you handle correction, you gotta be teachable. 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:05.519 Yes. 00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:06.960 Yeah, I love I love saying that. 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.800 Like you have to be teachable, you have to be willing to learn. 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:12.480 I mean, literally in every aspect of life, you're gonna fail if you're not willing to be taught. 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:15.840 If you think you know it all, then I don't even know what to tell you. 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:19.199 Obviously, I can't tell you anything because you think you know it all. 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:25.039 But you're the definition of like P A H A H A H. 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:28.320 Like what? 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:34.400 You've done it like four times P A H A H P H. 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.239 Anyway, but yeah, wait, remind me what it was. 00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:43.360 Uh the last one? 00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:44.400 No, the one we just talked about. 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.159 What is the Oh resentment of correction? 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:47.280 Resentment of correction. 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:49.599 I mean, yeah, that's not good. 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:51.440 That one's pretty straightforward, I feel like. 00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:51.679 You know? 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.199 Yeah, it is pretty straightforward. 00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:54.800 I think these are all straightforward. 00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.760 And then there's the last one is an entitlement. 00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.199 Bro, in honor of Thanksgiving coming up. 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:13.360 I think we should talk this intro that it's it's crazy to ever like even have a split second thought that like of being unthankful, ungrateful of what you have. 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.480 Like, because like who are we to complain about anything? 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:22.320 Because we were not Jesus having to suffer through this, yeah, and we don't have to suffer through it because of him. 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.320 And so just for that reason alone, we should be thankful for anything we have and for anywhere we are. 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:30.000 And what's the quote he said? 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:30.880 Somebody give it to me. 00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:34.320 Um never get it wasn't bold. 00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:35.360 Hold up, I'm gonna find it. 00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:35.840 I have it. 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:37.119 Oh, you have it, say it. 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:38.079 I can't find it. 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:39.519 Never surrender. 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:43.199 Oh, never start thinking for a minute that you deserve any of this. 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:43.599 Yeah. 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.719 Literally, my drop, my jaw, I think, dropped right there. 00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:54.960 I think I was like, and if that's a tough pill to swallow and that kind of gets you worked up, then you probably need to pray about it. 00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:59.599 My favorite thing is when you do that, you probably need to pray about it. 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:02.000 You probably do. 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:04.320 I'm gonna let you reflect and get to that. 00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.840 I'm not gonna say go pray about it now. 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.000 Right. 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:06.880 I'm not your pastor. 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.840 I'm just gonna put it out there. 00:41:08.159 -->

00:41:12.320 You probably should probably should consider praying about pride. 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:22.960 And then even when you think about it, like many times if you're not thankful in a moment or in a day or whenever, whatever, it's usually just a lack of perspective. 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:30.159 If you step back and you start thinking about all the good and all the bad in your life, you're like, yo, what was I thinking? 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:30.559 Yeah. 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.920 Sometimes you just need like the mental reset, you know, like you know, like I'm I'm doing great. 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.199 My life is amazing. 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:43.679 Well, you just consider if you want a quick one that we can go to church on Sunday and Wednesday and people don't kill us for that. 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:45.039 Yeah, we have religious freedom. 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.440 Um get persecuted. 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:47.920 Yeah, yeah. 00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:57.360 We live in America, which by no matter what your opinions may be, by the standards of like the entire earth, modern day, very good country. 00:41:57.440 --> 00:41:59.280 Yeah, I mean we're doing great. 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.880 Yeah, yeah, but yeah. 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:07.280 I think oh no, I was just putting that out there that that's just a quick little like Luke was saying, that perspective. 00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.599 Yeah, well, like another thing to add to that is is like how many blessings do you have in your life? 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:23.280 And it's like you didn't do anything to deserve those blessings, and that's what's also the great thing about blessings is that they're a gift that we didn't deserve, but it's because God loves us anyways that we get. 00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:23.679 Yeah. 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:29.039 And I don't know, it's just so easy, I feel like, to lose perceived to lose perspective, like you were saying. 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.159 Because we can get so caught up in our our own world and our own hotel. 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:32.800 In the day. 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:34.000 In the day, yeah, exactly. 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:39.039 Like maybe you had a long day at work, it was really bad, but you think that you deserve to get home one time. 00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:46.239 And so the people going slow on the road, you're like, I I don't deserve this, you know, like I need to get home. 00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:47.280 And I'm not pointing fingers. 00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:50.159 But I'd be able to move on. 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:51.360 I'm not pointing any fingers now. 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:51.920 I'm playing. 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:52.400 I'm joking. 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.639 That's a I feel like that's a thing that we all can experience a lot. 00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:59.679 It's just like the small things, like, I deserve to be home right now, or I deserve to not have to go through this. 00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:02.719 And it could just

be something small like that. 00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.719 But like you're in a car, my guy. 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:06.880 You're on like you are on a big job. 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:07.440 You have a home. 00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:08.159 Have a job. 00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:10.079 Yeah, like you have a home to go home to. 00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:11.440 I like that. 00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:17.039 Yeah, but I mean, obviously, if you don't know that was a joke at Hudson because he gets road rage, but not really. 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:18.400 He talks about joking with me. 00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:25.360 Is that in five o'clock traffic coming home from work, if you're going 20 under, I question your home life. 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:27.199 I just leave it at that. 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:28.400 I'll just leave it at that. 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:30.320 I I question why you go so slow. 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:31.679 Why do you not want to get home? 00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:32.559 That's all I question. 00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:34.559 And we won't talk about it anymore because we need to move on. 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.760 It's probably because somebody's not listening to happy life, happy life. 00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:38.480 Exactly. 00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:40.880 I don't listen to that either, but exactly. 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:01.840 What have we been talking about? 00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:02.400 The sermon. 00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:02.800 Yeah. 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.199 To you know our section of James for the day. 00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:08.960 But instead of a section of James, we cite you out, we're doing the entire book. 00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:10.159 Yo, yo, yo, we're done. 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:11.760 Start to finish now. 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:12.559 Every one of them. 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:21.119 No, so we're gonna cover kind of um like main topics like divided life, um, what it could look like today, double-mindedness, just things like that. 00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.400 So um, if you guys have any thoughts on that, you could start us off. 00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:34.079 I mean, right off the bat, I have double-mindedness because I mean you just said it, yeah, but that's like a key theme throughout every single part. 00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.320 That um that double-mindedness and a divided life, those go hand in hand. 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.639 They're pretty much the same thing if you look about it. 00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:42.480 Yeah, look about it if you look at it. 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:43.280 Um look about it. 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:44.719 It's been a long day, bro. 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:54.000 Um but James hits on that over and over so that the entire book, the dangers of living a divided life, examples of living a divided life. 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:55.679 He harps on it again and again. 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:58.400 And I feel like there's a reason why. 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:03.519 That yeah, one, because obviously God doesn't want a lukewarm Christian. 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.920 Um it it it's that important. 00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.760 You you have to be all in on God's camp and and that's it. 00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:11.280 You can't be wishy-washy. 00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:11.679 Yeah. 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:22.320 But um, as I was thinking about you know, this question, why does besides the obvious answer of what I just listed, why is this so prevalent in James? 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.039 Why does why is it in like every chapter? 00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:35.599 And in almost every podcast that we've gone over in James, there's been some essence of the dangers of a double-minded life, of how you know, as a Christian you're not supposed to do that. 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:36.320 That's right. 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:42.320 And I think that it's it's because it's not something we think about really. 00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:58.079 And that may sound crazy, but I I think it's it's it's dangerous, and it needs to be brought to the mind of every Christian, the idea of living a double-minded life, because I don't like the way I wear it, that it's not something you think about outwardly. 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:02.960 I'll say that it's it can be easy to slip into that without ever knowing it. 00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:09.760 Yeah, it doesn't have like outward like labels like we did for our ourselves at the at the beginning of this podcast. 00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:23.599 Yeah, um, I don't think many Christians that end up um say you started off on fire for God, and then five years later you you're in a spot where you're living a divided life. 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:27.679 I don't think you ever thought, I want to live in the middle, I want to live right in the middle. 00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:29.199 There's no red flag warning. 00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.400 Like I feel like you slip into that by by little decisions that you may not even know. 00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:34.880 Yeah. 00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.000 Um it's and I think that that's really important. 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:52.559 I mean, obviously it's important because James harps on it again and again, but it can be the little decisions like like what Ramsay brought up earlier when we were talking about the sermon about maybe you just let go of some of your convictions. 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:58.159 Like maybe you read a maybe something in the Bible just stops applying to you as much internally. 00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:07.039 Or maybe something that you used to hold close as a conviction or a or a tradition or or something you you kind of let go a bit. 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:07.360 Yeah. 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:12.159 And it can be little things that you lose ground on that you that you give way in. 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:12.719 That's right. 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.599 I think it's important to say like like kind of what double-mindedness like really is. 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:21.760 And James 1.8 says a double-minded man is

unstable in all of his ways. 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:25.760 Double-mindedness is just having divided loyalty between God and the world. 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:26.719 Deliberately, yeah. 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:27.360 Yes. 00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:33.840 And it's kind of like it's it's a little different than you know the basic battle of flesh versus spirit because we all struggle with that. 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.559 We all would, if that was the definition, we'd all be double-minded. 00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:38.719 Because yeah, we all struggle, we all have temptations. 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:47.519 It's important to know that double-mindedness does not mean that you're struggling with temptation or that you're having doubts or that you're making mistakes or that you're going through a difficult season. 00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.199 It's it's different than just struggling with sin, it's becoming comfortable with it. 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:58.159 Yeah, double-mindedness is like when you become comfortable living in your sin while you're also telling others how to live in the light or how to do this right. 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.400 You can't preach the truth, but then not follow it. 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:01.920 Kind of ties into what we said earlier. 00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:02.559 It's true. 00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:03.039 Yeah. 00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:10.639 So do you think that there's a difference between someone that struggles with sin and someone that's trying to live for God and the world? 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.639 Is there a difference between the two? 00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.599 Somebody for sure struggling with sin. 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:16.639 Yeah, absolutely. 00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:24.639 Like what you're saying is that being double-minded or just struggling in the everyday like a like we like everybody does against spirit. 00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:26.239 Like, what's the difference? 00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:35.920 If if I'm struggling with a specific sin and I'm praying about it, I'm doing all the things I know to do, I'm I'm seeking counsel from my youth pastor and my pastor, I'm praying about it. 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:40.639 Um it what's the difference between that and me trying to live in both sides? 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:49.199 Because one, what in one situation, in the first situation, you're actively seeking help or to fix the temptation that you're going through, the problem that's happening. 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:51.599 But on the other hand, they're trying to serve two masters. 00:48:51.760 --> 00:49:00.320 The other person is deliberately saying, I'm gonna keep one foot in the world and one foot in the church, and I'm gonna do what I want to do, and I'm gonna kind of avoid some things and slither through. 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:14.559 But what if you're the one who's trying to actively seek help and become a better Christian and get away from the temptation that you're falling into or the sin that you're falling into, there's a complete difference between your goal of getting out of it and their goal of staying slightly in it, but slightly out of it. 00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:15.840 I like what you're saying with that. 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:17.119 Like one foot it, one foot out. 00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:18.559 I think of it like with a like a hot tub. 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:23.519 You got one foot in the hot tub, one foot out, you're pulling people in the hot tub, which is you know, to church, right? 00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:28.239 Yeah, you're you're you're pulling them in, but then you're also playing like rock, paper, scissors with the people outside of it. 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:28.400 Yeah. 00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:29.199 You know what I'm saying? 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:29.519 Yeah. 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:29.840 Yeah. 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:31.679 I like that because that's what the people in the world do. 00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:32.480 You gotta watch out for that. 00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:35.199 Rock, paper, scissors gonna get you now playing. 00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:37.920 But there is I thought you were serious, bro. 00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:49.840 There definitely is a difference between someone who's like struggling to do everything right and obey everything because they just can't, and someone who continue just continually justifies why they shouldn't have to, you know. 00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.000 It's there's definitely a big difference there. 00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:52.480 Yeah. 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:53.360 I like that. 00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:56.719 Yeah, I mean, I was gonna say something, but you pretty much said it all, Audrey. 00:49:56.800 --> 00:49:57.440 That's pretty much what I had. 00:49:57.519 --> 00:49:57.760 That's good. 00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:58.320 Sorry, guys. 00:49:58.400 --> 00:49:59.119 It means still your answer is. 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:00.000 No, that's good. 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:01.519 That means um we're on the same wavelength. 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:03.199 Yeah, yes, nice and concise. 00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:04.480 It means we're all doing great. 00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:11.360 So, another thing I wanted to think, or I'm gonna just ask you guys, why do you think that you know he focused so much on a divided life? 00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:14.320 Like more than double-mindedness, like divided life specific. 00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:15.280 I got you, bro. 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.199 James 4 4, you adulters. 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.000 Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:21.039 I say it again. 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:24.559 If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:25.679 Straight up. 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:26.400 Boom. 00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:27.119 I like it. 00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:27.679 Yeah. 00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:35.920 And then again, I'll just say kind of what I said earlier, but a lot shorter, that it can it can

happen easily through gradual compromise. 00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:36.559 Oh, yeah. 00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:42.800 That um, like I think you had said it, Audrey, like you don't wake up and decide, oh, I want to be an enemy of God. 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:44.000 Right. 00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:46.320 You just gradual compromise. 00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:54.159 You over time you move away from your boundaries, and you start considering yourself before you consider God. 00:50:54.480 --> 00:51:03.920 You start giving more and more power to yourself, letting pride seep in, and then eventually you're at a spot where every decision you make, it's you first, and you're not really considering God in it. 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.079 And now you're kind of you're trying to you may be still trying to live for God. 00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:15.119 Like if you're in this point, you're not outside of the church, you may still be attending church, but God's not at the center. 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:16.960 And boy, oh boy. 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:20.719 Sorry. 00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:27.440 Um, what I on a serious note, I've to answer your question, like with Hudson as well. 00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:33.119 The reason I think it's so serious and it should be so serious for everybody is because I never want to hear depart from me for I never knew you. 00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:40.079 And being a divided life and being the enemy of God, like James 44 says, is is departing from him because you never knew him. 00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:53.599 And that is, I think, why one of the reasons that is so serious, because being one foot in and one foot out and being lukewarm, which explicitly in the Bible I can't remember how, but is is not what God wants for us, is rejecting him in a way, you know? 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:57.360 Not fully committing to him is also fully rejecting him. 00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.960 And so that is one of the reasons I think it's so serious. 00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:02.159 Dude, you know what? 00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:03.679 You just saying that like made me think. 00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:07.679 Like him saying, Depart from me, I never knew you, is saying that you never knew him. 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:08.880 Does that make sense? 00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.880 Yeah, the whole reason No, no, no, but not like you never knew him. 00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:17.440 Like the point, the reason that he has to say that is because you never cared enough to know him fully. 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:17.840 Yeah. 00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:20.000 Well, not that anyone could ever fully know him. 00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:24.800 Yeah, but you know, but you never like seeked him with all that you couldn't have that relationship. 00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:26.159 I didn't think about that before. 00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:27.679 I just hear the verse, and I'm like, scary. 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:33.519 Yeah, and then in a different way, like what about the people that that feel like they're neutral? 00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:42.400 Like, like like let's say there's a fence on one side of the fence, there's evil, on the other side there's righteousness, and they're they're on top of the fence, like they're sitting on top of the fence. 00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:45.440 You know, they probably think, Oh, I'm neutral, I'm not, I'm okay. 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:48.480 Yeah, you know, I'm not on the bad or the good side, I'm just undecided. 00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:48.960 Yeah. 00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:54.159 Well, I heard a preacher one time say, like, if you're on the fence, you've already decided. 00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:56.320 You are you're on the enemy's side. 00:52:56.719 --> 00:53:04.400 If you're undecided and you're not having a passion and a love for God, you you have the opposite, which is a passion and a desire for evil. 00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:05.599 You're letting the flesh take over. 00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:07.039 Yeah, there's no middle ground. 00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:07.440 Right. 00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:13.440 There is no it's like the age old saying in your relationship with God, you're either moving forward or you're moving backwards. 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:13.840 That's right. 00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:15.440 You're never just stationary. 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.840 Um, you may feel like you're just taking a chill little break and then you'll pick things back up with God in like a month. 00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.320 That's not how you're drifting while you're being spiritual again. 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:23.760 But you can't just put God on hold. 00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:24.800 You're always gonna be drifting. 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.840 Yeah, it's like an ocean instead of like it's not a road, it's like an ocean. 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:32.960 Like, think of it like you're sailing, and if you stop the boat for a little while, the waves are gonna take you back out short. 00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:35.760 Like, you know, so keep that spirit active. 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:36.320 Yeah. 00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.400 Keep on sailing, soldier. 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:44.960 Um, another thing is with divided life, what do you guys think that it can look like today?

00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:16.639 You know, that's yeah, that's living the divided life. 00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:17.039 Yes, you're gonna be able to do that. 00:54:18.800 --> 00:54:19.599 Oh, I've got one. 00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:20.079 Okay. 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:34.000 Going to school and acting the way you know your friends would want you to act and hanging out and doing the things that even not doing, but like hanging out the way and saying the things that you know you that they're gonna be able to do. 00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:40.719 Making the jokes that they would make, and then also going to church and hanging out and doing what they want, playing the part there, yeah, doing the right thing. 00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:41.760 Yeah. 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.239 I think we've all been there at one point in our lives. 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:56.719 Yeah, you try to satisfy everyone, and yeah, yeah, I'd say that's a very easy, like glaring red flag is that if you're not the same person outside at school or work that you are in church, then that's a pretty big indicator that's right. 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:00.800 Yeah, yeah, you might be living a divided life. 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:01.119 Yeah. 00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:04.559 I think another one that we kind of talked about was following God's word when it's convenient. 00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:21.519 And it kind of made me think, whenever I was like thinking of that point, it made me think that kind of, you know, like the things that aren't black and white, like that aren't heaven or hell issues that we were talking about, that's almost sometimes the most important ones because just because something is small, quote unquote, something seems so small and insignificant, does not make it irrelevant. 00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:22.079 Yes, right. 00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:27.679 Just because it does not seem like a big deal doesn't mean that you should just, you know, let leave it there. 00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:28.719 Like I'm not gonna listen to it. 00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:29.679 Yeah, that's a good one. 00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:37.840 And then it kind of gets to the heart of the issue, kind of what Luke was just talking about being on the fence, is that it's always deeper than just is this heaven or hell? 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:46.079 It's does it or you start ask, yes, when you start asking those questions, what you're really doing is you're seeing how close can I get to the line? 00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:47.280 And it's that is so good. 00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:49.840 Yeah, it's you're looking at it the wrong way. 00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:52.800 Yeah, it's never is this heaven or hell? 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:54.480 It's would this be pleasing to God? 00:55:54.559 --> 00:56:05.360 Yeah, and so you're just kind of you're kind of stuck in the camp that Luke's talking about where you think you're sitting on the fence, you think you're doing something that's not really consequential, but your heart's completely wrong. 00:56:05.599

--> 00:56:09.199 Yeah, it's always when you start getting down to those those smaller questions you start asking. 00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:10.559 It's like, yeah, the big questions are easy. 00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:11.360 Do you love God or not? 00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:12.000 Yes, I love God. 00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:13.679 Okay, the question starts getting more detailed. 00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:13.920 Yeah. 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:15.119 Do you want to do this or not? 00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:17.599 Well, I mean, if it's the smallest thing, it's not that serious. 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:18.159 Let me chew. 00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:22.960 Reality is by the time you're at the that spot, yeah, your heart's already decided. 00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:23.440 Yeah, exactly. 00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:24.880 Your heart's already compromised. 00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:29.840 And that's that's what's more dangerous than you letting go of this. 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:38.159 Obviously, it's important, yeah, because it's a rule in the Bible, but I feel like the issue of the heart is a lot more devastating for you than the one issue of is this heaven or hell? 00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:40.719 It's yeah, what have you allowed your heart to accept now? 00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:41.440 That's good. 00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:44.000 Yeah, I like that little sub point we just walked into. 00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:44.639 It's very good. 00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:46.000 Cooking, chat. 00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:47.199 Get out. 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:47.679 Okay. 00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:48.400 Hi guys. 00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:49.760 No, he wants to be again. 00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:51.360 I do not acknowledge that joke. 00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:52.079 Moving on. 00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:53.679 Another one that I really thought of. 00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:55.840 This is like so me and people like me. 00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:57.440 If you're like me, I'm sorry. 00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:01.119 Um, claiming to trust God while constantly trying to maintain control. 00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:03.199 I like people who are control freaks. 00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.800 Not that I don't want to give God control. 00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:05.599 You know what I mean?

00:59:04.960 Entertainment. 00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:06.880 Okay, that's yeah, that's what I was thinking. 00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:11.039 Say that's probably the biggest one for young people, and especially this day and age. 00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:11.760 Entertainment. 00:59:11.840 --> 00:59:13.360 It's yeah, it's everywhere. 00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:14.719 You you can't escape it. 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:15.199 Yeah. 00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:17.119 Yeah, because it's it's an industry now. 00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:21.599 You know, people are making money all this, so they don't care how it affects the people that are consuming it. 00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:32.079 I mean, everything we have is designed to capture our attention, and right obviously that's not good for your relationship with God if you're constantly surrounded by things that are capturing all your attention. 00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:34.079 If you don't have any attention for God, yeah. 00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:41.679 I think it could even be things like kind of like if what we just talked about planning, like if the planning goes too far and it's your how much money can I make? 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:42.639 What's my goals? 00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:50.320 Like putting your goals and your money and your career way above your care for God or godly things, that's when it's a problem. 00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:50.800 Yeah. 00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:52.480 Well, can you repeat the question? 00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:54.639 Yeah, what competes for our loyalty? 00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:55.760 Yeah, okay. 00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:56.719 Sorry, Ramsey. 00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:57.440 What were you just gonna say? 00:59:57.599 --> 00:59:57.920 I'm sorry. 00:59:58.239 --> 00:59:59.360 Yeah, you're good. 00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:11.280 I was just gonna say is I I think it was either the same message that you were talking about or when around the same time is um what's it called? 01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:14.719 Big uh uh extremes. 01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:15.440 Extremes. 01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:17.119 Yeah, got them. 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:20.400 You can have the extreme of what Audrey was just saying. 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:23.760 Um, planning your future. 01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:29.519 Oh, about planning your sorry, I've always said it, which was I lost Audrey. 01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:34.400 But no, I get it. 01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:35.360 There's there's extremes. 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:36.880 There's extremes to what Audrey's talking about. 01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:42.559 Which was yeah, planning it all out and having uh too much control, but then there's also the issue about not doing anything at all. 01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:46.880 And it's like, yeah, God will control your steps or guide your steps, but I mean you have to take them. 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:48.079 So valid. 01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:49.119 Hey, I like that. 01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:49.840 No, I like that. 01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:51.199 No, not even as a joke. 01:00:51.519 -->

01:00:53.760 Father's daughter, that's what he said, bro, when he preached. 01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:54.159 Yeah. 01:00:54.400 --> 01:01:04.480 Oh well, anyways, but I was just it's just it could be with almost with everything, it's the extremes of it all, which is kind of what we we've been pointing out, but I just wanted to reminder. 01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:15.840 Yeah, yeah, just I think uh uh one that isn't more so a specific example, um, like you you recognize that you're putting way too much emphasis into your planning. 01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:37.920 I think it's it's more of a posture or a mindset to where if you ever analyze and see that in all areas of your life you're trying to f you're you're making the plans or you're you're doing the thing and then you're fitting God around that afterwards, I'd say that you're kind of in the divided camp already because God should always be at the forefront at the center. 01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:38.320 Yeah. 01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:53.599 If you're making a decision or a choice or doing a thing or saying something, literally anything, and then afterwards you're trying to fit God around that and figure how how this works out now with God afterwards, then you're in a divided camp. 01:01:53.760 --> 01:02:01.119 God needs to be, you don't just fit God around your life, around your decisions, around your intentions, around your actions. 01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:05.119 He's he's he's he should be there with you while you're making them. 01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:05.760 That's right. 01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:09.360 I think that's uh I've I've heard that in a message before. 01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:10.400 That's why I'm bringing it up. 01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:20.159 I've heard it multiple times actually that so often we can uh and it it can feel good, it can feel like the right thing to do where we have like in our minds a God box. 01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:21.440 Like God's in our life. 01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:27.920 We have a space for him in our life, he's there, we pray, we we go to church, but he can't just be in that box. 01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:34.960 Yeah, you can't you can't be dealing with the things of one box over here while God's in his own box and you're not really thinking about him. 01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:40.639 And then after you're done with the stuff in this box, you go back to the God box and then talk to him about it and be like, okay. 01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:42.159 You go back to the God box. 01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:44.880 Yeah, God should God should be in all the boxes. 01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:45.599 Yeah, yeah. 01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:50.480 You can't set limitations for him and then like make him stay within them. 01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:52.000 You have to let him take control of it all. 01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:52.480 Exactly. 01:02:53.519 --> 01:03:02.400 And I don't know if this goes with your yours, but in young young adults, like one of the lessons that we had, the main point was uh a godly plan is not always God's plan. 01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:10.239 So even if if that thing you're you're working around before you get to the way God wants to do it, it it doesn't even have to be an evil plan. 01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:17.920 It can be a good thing, a godly thing, yeah, where every aspect of it is a is righteous and you know, just oh yeah, 100%. 01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:26.159 I can I can strive to be the pastor of this church and I can have the heart that I want to serve the people and be the shepherd. 01:03:26.239 --> 01:03:30.880 But if God doesn't want that for me, if that's not my calling, then I'm messing up big time. 01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:32.800 It doesn't matter how good my intentions are. 01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:34.719 Yeah, that's good. 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:35.920 Yeah, I like that. 01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.880 You can it's not always gonna be a glaringly evil thing. 01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:39.360 I like that. 01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:40.239 Yeah, yeah. 01:03:40.559 --> 01:03:55.760 Yeah, I I don't know how much we can really like we could go through all these these examples, these these niche specific examples, but again, I think we've hit the key point here that that James, I feel he was trying to get through why when he was inspired by God to write this. 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.159 That yeah, it comes down to the heart. 01:03:58.320 --> 01:03:59.840 Your heart is the core of it. 01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:04.960 Um if you're surprised by that now, then you've been LARPing because that's that's a pretty big deal. 01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:06.480 That it's the heart. 01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:12.880 Um, whether you're divided or not, whether you're in God's camp fully or not, that's all gonna come down to the heart. 01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:18.719 Um, whether it be issues of the tongue, is that's another thing that's sprinkled throughout Proverbs and James. 01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:23.760 The key theme of that is that what comes out of your mouth is coming from your heart. 01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:24.079 Yeah. 01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:27.440 So all of these things, it's it really comes down to the heart. 01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:34.000 And I think that's that's pretty much a that can be like our sign-off on on this part of James. 01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:36.000 It's like it's a big moment, guys. 01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:38.000 We've gone through James, but insanity. 01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:46.880 But yeah, it's it's important to recognize that you can't you can't have your cake and eat it too with God if if the kick you're wanted to eat is things of this world. 01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:47.360 Yeah. 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:51.039 Um that's a great way to say it. 01:04:52.159 --> 01:04:53.440 But you can't be in both camps. 01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:58.960 You can't want to live for God and also go play rock, paper, scissors with people in the world like Luke wants to do. 01:04:59.360 --> 01:04:59.920 Absolutely not. 01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:01.360 You you can't do both. 01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:06.880 You you have to set it in your heart that you're in the hot tub where God is, where the church is. 01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:10.079 And um sorry guys, that's a silly joke. 01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:11.599 Don't go jump in a hot tub. 01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:16.639 But no, you have to set in your mind that you're living for God, that then that's just that. 01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:21.039 There's no ifs and buts, there's no compromise, there's no how far can I push it? 01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:24.239 It's God's way or the highway. 01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:24.800 Yeah. 01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:26.239 Amen, brother. 01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:27.440 Loved that. 01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:29.039 So did she, apparently. 01:05:29.440 -->
