something and this was written by Judd

Apatow he was writing about the comedian
10 00:00:18,570 - 00:00:20,369
Albert Brooks and how he got a chance to
11 00:00:20,369 - 00:00:22,199
work with one of his heroes and just a
12 00:00:22,199 - 00:00:24,480
couple sentences but he said something
13 00:00:24,480 - 00:00:26,699
that I would love to say about Bishop
14 00:00:26,699 - 00:00:30,689
Jake's before he comes and he said in
15 00:00:30,689 - 00:00:32,940
your dreams as a young guy you imagined
16 00:00:32,940 - 00:00:35,550
your heroes to be one thing and then you
17 00:00:35,550 - 00:00:37,020
get a chance to work with one of them
18 00:00:37,020 - 00:00:41,399

the end of our lives we will have made
21 00:00:46,140 - 00:00:49,020
one movie as good and true as Albert
22 00:00:49,020 - 00:00:51,570
Brooks as best movies I'll modify that a
23 00:00:51,570 - 00:00:54,300
little bit deep down all preachers and
24 00:00:54,300 - 00:00:56,280
leaders hope that at the end of our
25 00:00:56,280 - 00:00:59,660
lives we will have preached one sermon
26 00:00:59,660 - 00:01:05,309

excited about this new books or excited
101 00:05:03,259 - 00:05:04,550
to talk to you about it tonight thank
102 00:05:04,550 - 00:05:07,370
you I've been reading it yeah it's kind
103 00:05:07,370 - 00:05:09,199
of weird though I I had to do my
104 00:05:09,199 - 00:05:13,039
research to interview you and so I put
105 00:05:13,039 - 00:05:15,440
in Amazon because the book is subtitled
106 00:05:15,440 - 00:05:18,280
build your vision from the ground up and
107 00:05:18,280 - 00:05:20,630
focuses on leadership mhm
108 00:05:20,630 - 00:05:23,539
entrepreneurship mm-hmm so I put
109 00:05:23,539 - 00:05:27,229
entrepreneur in Amazon search and over
110 00:05:27,229 - 00:05:30,289
fifty six thousand results Wow over
111 00:05:30,289 - 00:05:32,990
fifty six thousand results and then I
112 00:05:32,990 - 00:05:35,569
put in leadership over two hundred and
113 00:05:35,569 - 00:05:38,330
fifty seven thousand results amazing
114 00:05:38,330 - 00:05:41,240
which made me wonder for my first
115 00:05:41,240 - 00:05:44,360
official question of the interview what
116 00:05:44,360 - 00:05:46,490
was missing from the conversation that
117 00:05:46,490 - 00:05:49,659
made you want to add your voice timing
118 00:05:49,659 - 00:05:53,060
what we need depends on where we are in
119 00:05:53,060 - 00:05:56,659
the history of this country the
120 00:05:56,659 - 00:05:58,279
topography of this country has changed
121 00:05:58,279 - 00:06:01,490
in terms of how we make a living quite a
122 00:06:01,490 - 00:06:04,550
bit from agricultural we went through
123 00:06:04,550 - 00:06:07,840
that face to industrial age to the
124 00:06:07,840 - 00:06:10,190
information age that we're currently in
125 00:06:10,190 - 00:06:13,009
right now and people have had to retool
126 00:06:13,009 - 00:06:14,960
themselves in order to keep up with
127 00:06:14,960 - 00:06:18,440
trends they didn't choose now we're in
128 00:06:18,440 - 00:06:20,990
an era where people of my generation
129 00:06:20,990 - 00:06:23,719
sent our kids to school because we
130 00:06:23,719 - 00:06:27,070
trained them to think a job
131 00:06:27,070 - 00:06:28,990
and we said if you go to school you get
132 00:06:28,990 - 00:06:30,340
a good education you're gonna come out
133 00:06:30,340 - 00:06:31,690
you're gonna get a great job and that
134 00:06:31,690 - 00:06:34,300
was true when I was coming up but that's
135 00:06:34,300 - 00:06:37,060
not true today today you can yeah am i
136 00:06:37,060 - 00:06:40,480
right about it today you can go to
137 00:06:40,480 - 00:06:42,640
school you can get a great education and
138 00:06:42,640 - 00:06:47,830
come out with a good bill a whole lot of
139 00:06:47,830 - 00:06:49,770
debt and end up working at Burger King
140 00:06:49,770 - 00:06:55,810
nothing against Burger King but how how
141 00:06:55,810 - 00:06:58,540
do we get you here I have to be careful
142 00:06:58,540 - 00:07:05,110
brother like me get sued on regular the
143 00:07:05,110 - 00:07:09,330
question then becomes how do we with our
144 00:07:09,330 - 00:07:13,120
education and our disappointment living
145 00:07:13,120 - 00:07:15,040
in our mother's house sleeping on the
146 00:07:15,040 - 00:07:18,400
couch even cereal at noon we to
147 00:07:18,400 - 00:07:20,590
ourselves so that we can be functional
148 00:07:20,590 - 00:07:22,350
in the 21st century
149 00:07:22,350 - 00:07:26,140
I listen at the argument that our
150 00:07:26,140 - 00:07:28,630
country is having right now it's it's
151 00:07:28,630 - 00:07:32,680
hard to listen to but beneath all of the
152 00:07:32,680 - 00:07:35,890
chatter the red belt states and the
153 00:07:35,890 - 00:07:37,780
inner cities are crying about the same
154 00:07:37,780 - 00:07:42,160
thing the lack of opportunity and we're
155 00:07:42,160 - 00:07:45,700
looking to the white house to solve the
156 00:07:45,700 - 00:07:48,880
problem and the reality is that's not
157 00:07:48,880 - 00:07:50,770
gonna happen
158 00:07:50,770 - 00:07:54,500
[Music]
159 00:07:54,719 - 00:07:58,110
and we need solutions and this goes
160 00:07:58,110 - 00:08:00,449
beyond we'd like to talk in terms of we
161 00:08:00,449 - 00:08:02,429
have nice terms for bus really black and
162 00:08:02,429 - 00:08:04,379
white you know herb and then red bell
163 00:08:04,379 - 00:08:07,049
spaces and black so swipes awesome but
164 00:08:07,049 - 00:08:12,839
now we're both getting broke okay which
165 00:08:12,839 - 00:08:15,869
is a scary situation and and you've got
166 00:08:15,869 - 00:08:18,869
smart bright gifted talented people who
167 00:08:18,869 - 00:08:21,419
can't find an opportunity also in our
168 00:08:21,419 - 00:08:23,610
community and even in other communities
169 00:08:23,610 - 00:08:25,679
you have this dilemma of people who make
170 00:08:25,679 - 00:08:28,379
mistakes when they were young did some
171 00:08:28,379 - 00:08:31,199
criminal justice issues and 25 years
172 00:08:31,199 - 00:08:32,789
later they can't get a job or a place to
173 00:08:32,789 - 00:08:37,188
stay that's a real problem
174 00:08:37,188 - 00:08:41,159
so rather than to go get a job I thought
175 00:08:41,159 - 00:08:43,318
it was important to talk about being a
176 00:08:43,318 - 00:08:47,069
job you know yeah about being a job
177 00:08:47,069 - 00:08:49,170
about hiring yourself about the
178 00:08:49,170 - 00:08:52,050
opportunities that exists to create your
179 00:08:52,050 - 00:08:56,399
own reality your own business your own
180 00:08:56,399 - 00:09:01,829
company to be the CEO of you the CEO you
181 00:09:01,829 - 00:09:03,809
and I think it surprises a lot of people
182 00:09:03,809 - 00:09:06,000
to hear you talk like that who are only
183 00:09:06,000 - 00:09:08,040
familiar with you as a preacher right
184 00:09:08,040 - 00:09:10,170
right I mean there's no doubt okay when
185 00:09:10,170 - 00:09:11,939
I when I go to preach for Bishop Jake's
186 00:09:11,939 - 00:09:14,730
I've had the privilege to do it three
187 00:09:14,730 - 00:09:16,559
times I think dude I spend as long
188 00:09:16,559 - 00:09:19,050
trying to figure out what I want to say
189 00:09:19,050 - 00:09:23,009
in my introductory remarks to honor him
190 00:09:23,009 - 00:09:25,170
because of what he's meant to me as I do
191 00:09:25,170 - 00:09:28,559
on my message and I never can quite find
192 00:09:28,559 - 00:09:30,689
the words but the last time I think I
193 00:09:30,689 - 00:09:32,490
was with you I gave you a nickname I
194 00:09:32,490 - 00:09:33,990
don't know if you remember I call those
195 00:09:33,990 - 00:09:37,439
Lasher yes and I called you that because
196 00:09:37,439 - 00:09:40,439
I thought because no matter what title
197 00:09:40,439 - 00:09:43,259
someone would put with the name TD jakes
198 00:09:43,259 - 00:09:45,480
they would have to put a slash after it
199 00:09:45,480 - 00:09:50,639
yes so you're a pastor slash author New

you've ever been called that that got me
207 00:10:13,930 - 00:10:18,130
that's me I investigate thank you very
208 00:10:18,130 - 00:10:21,130
much at the heart at the heart of that
209 00:10:21,130 - 00:10:23,110
nickname though is a lot of admiration I
210 00:10:23,110 - 00:10:27,280
wonder when did you decide not to be
211 00:10:27,280 - 00:10:31,870
limited by one title or one function I
212 00:10:31,870 - 00:10:35,770
never knew that the way people described
213 00:10:35,770 - 00:10:37,810
you would become a prison until they did
214 00:10:37,810 - 00:10:45,010
it when when I met me I was not a
215 00:10:45,010 - 00:10:48,850
preacher so I didn't know that they
216 00:10:48,850 - 00:10:52,000
would incarcerate me with the title you
217 00:10:52,000 - 00:10:55,360
are at your best when you are authentic
218 00:10:55,360 - 00:10:59,350
to your core and you have to be what you
219 00:10:59,350 - 00:11:04,000
are not what they call you sometimes see
220 00:11:04,000 - 00:11:05,670
you appear to say what I'm saying
221 00:11:05,670 - 00:11:07,810
sometimes people will call you a name
222 00:11:07,810 - 00:11:09,820
and you start living up to the name and
223 00:11:09,820 - 00:11:12,520
it limits you from what else God wants
224 00:11:12,520 - 00:11:16,690
to do is your life you know and and by
225 00:11:16,690 - 00:11:20,080
the way I create for inventing this but
226 00:11:20,080 - 00:11:22,630
the credit is really misplaced because
227 00:11:22,630 - 00:11:24,820
when you think of the Apostle Paul he
228 00:11:24,820 - 00:11:29,230
was a writer he was a thinker respected
229 00:11:29,230 - 00:11:31,600
by the thinkers of his age at a time
230 00:11:31,600 - 00:11:34,360
when there were profound thinkers in
231 00:11:34,360 - 00:11:37,920
Paul's they known for his ability to be
232 00:11:37,920 - 00:11:41,560
progressive intellectually he was a
233 00:11:41,560 - 00:11:43,330
speaker he was a writer he was a
234 00:11:43,330 - 00:11:46,510
tentmaker he was able to influence
235 00:11:46,510 - 00:11:49,180
Aquila and Priscilla not because of his
236 00:11:49,180 - 00:11:50,650
preaching but because of his business
237 00:11:50,650 - 00:11:53,710
they shared the same business and out of
238 00:11:53,710 - 00:11:56,350
that business influence and affluence a
239 00:11:56,350 - 00:11:58,360
relationship emergent affected the
240 00:11:58,360 - 00:12:00,760
kingdom when you look at Jesus who was a
241 00:12:00,760 - 00:12:03,010
carpenter's son and later they called
242 00:12:03,010 - 00:12:06,790
him a carpenter he who handled would end
243 00:12:06,790 - 00:12:08,780
up nailed to a tree
244 00:12:08,780 - 00:12:13,430
and what happens in life as we evolve as
245 00:12:13,430 - 00:12:17,000
a person we cannot allow ourselves to be
246 00:12:17,000 - 00:12:20,270
incarcerated by anything that people
247 00:12:20,270 - 00:12:22,520
would describe us with because we limit
248 00:12:22,520 - 00:12:24,440
then what the Holy Spirit can do in your
249 00:12:24,440 - 00:12:29,150
life say I did let me jump in say this
250 00:12:29,150 - 00:12:32,960
one quick thing I think if Jesus had
251 00:12:32,960 - 00:12:34,940
come in our day he would have been a
252 00:12:34,940 - 00:12:38,060
filmmaker but because they didn't have
253 00:12:38,060 - 00:12:41,780
films he told parables but if you think
254 00:12:41,780 - 00:12:44,330
about it parables our movies made of
255 00:12:44,330 - 00:12:47,960
words if he were to come today he would
256 00:12:47,960 - 00:12:51,170
have done films imagine how that would
257 00:12:51,170 - 00:12:51,890
look like today
258 00:12:51,890 - 00:12:54,140
most of what we call church we would
259 00:12:54,140 - 00:12:57,370
have to teach Jesus
260 00:12:59,480 - 00:13:02,690
[Music]
261 00:13:04,010 - 00:13:06,530
Jesus never saw an usher he never saw a
262 00:13:06,530 - 00:13:08,990
greeting committee Jesus never saw a
263 00:13:08,990 - 00:13:12,290
choir Jesus never met a deacon Jesus
264 00:13:12,290 - 00:13:14,510
never had a board Jesus never had a
265 00:13:14,510 - 00:13:16,220
whole lot of things that we would have
266 00:13:16,220 - 00:13:17,870
to go through and say my Jesus don't sit
267 00:13:17,870 - 00:13:18,410
over there
268 00:13:18,410 - 00:13:23,600
that's the reserved section and when you
269 00:13:23,600 - 00:13:25,640
get rid of leaflets figures about you
270 00:13:25,640 - 00:13:29,570
know we were these accrued events that
271 00:13:29,570 - 00:13:32,810
attach itself to religion often block
272 00:13:32,810 - 00:13:38,050
our view from revelation yeah and
273 00:13:38,050 - 00:13:41,780
because I was I was raised by a dying
274 00:13:41,780 - 00:13:45,260
father born in between two dead babies
275 00:13:45,260 - 00:13:48,160
I really value the preciousness of life
276 00:13:48,160 - 00:13:50,990
the baby before me died and the baby
277 00:13:50,990 - 00:13:53,120
after me died and my mother clutched to
278 00:13:53,120 - 00:13:56,360
me as only a mother can who has lost a
279 00:13:56,360 - 00:13:59,780
child and and an appreciation for the
280 00:13:59,780 - 00:14:02,060
value of life and a refusal to allow
281 00:14:02,060 - 00:14:04,850
anybody to take away the great privilege
282 00:14:04,850 - 00:14:09,350
of being alive I will think for myself I
283 00:14:09,350 - 00:14:12,440
will move in my own direction you can
284 00:14:12,440 - 00:14:13,880
say whatever you want to say about it
285 00:14:13,880 - 00:14:16,700
but I'm gonna be me you see what I'm
286 00:14:16,700 - 00:14:19,460
saying yeah at the core of everything
287 00:14:19,460 - 00:14:24,110
soar is saying don't be limited don't
288 00:14:24,110 - 00:14:26,240
put a period because you did one thing
289 00:14:26,240 - 00:14:27,860
that you can't do something else that
290 00:14:27,860 - 00:14:29,680
you can't be something else that you can
291 00:14:29,680 - 00:14:32,300
evolve as an individual that you can't
292 00:14:32,300 - 00:14:36,620
explore other idioms of thought you know
293 00:14:36,620 - 00:14:38,030
let me show up because I get to talk
294 00:14:38,030 - 00:14:40,190
about that's great I I want to dig
295 00:14:40,190 - 00:14:42,950
deeper into that because the arc of your
296 00:14:42,950 - 00:14:45,710
teaching and one of the most influential
297 00:14:45,710 - 00:14:48,800
messages that I've received from you is
298 00:14:48,800 - 00:14:52,010
get out of your comfort zone I mean if
299 00:14:52,010 - 00:14:54,710
you open your mouth if some version of
300 00:14:54,710 - 00:14:56,420
that's going to come out maybe from the
301 00:14:56,420 - 00:14:59,020
Old Testament or it may be from a
302 00:14:59,020 - 00:15:01,760
chicken's egg you know there's there's
303 00:15:01,760 - 00:15:03,200
some way that you're gonna tell me get
304 00:15:03,200 - 00:15:04,880
out of your comfort zone mm-hmm I
305 00:15:04,880 - 00:15:07,130
wondered though because I've also heard
306 00:15:07,130 - 00:15:08,960
you teach so much about your capacity
307 00:15:08,960 - 00:15:11,620
mm-hmm that each person has a god-given
308 00:15:11,620 - 00:15:16,820
capacity for the person who is trying to
309 00:15:16,820 - 00:15:17,630
decide who
310 00:15:17,630 - 00:15:20,750
what can I do I don't know yet I haven't
311 00:15:20,750 - 00:15:22,940
tried yet I think I know what I have I
312 00:15:22,940 - 00:15:25,670
don't know if I have it or not how do we
313 00:15:25,670 - 00:15:28,190
know the difference between staying in
314 00:15:28,190 - 00:15:29,300
our comfort zone
315 00:15:29,300 - 00:15:32,720
versus going beyond our capacity you're
316 00:15:32,720 - 00:15:36,170
only measured in terms of success by his
317 00:15:36,170 - 00:15:40,399
investment in terms of contribution if
318 00:15:40,399 - 00:15:42,620
he gave one man one towel and another
319 00:15:42,620 - 00:15:44,389
man two talents in another man five
320 00:15:44,389 - 00:15:46,220
talents he didn't expect the man with
321 00:15:46,220 - 00:15:49,160
one talent to produce ten but at least
322 00:15:49,160 - 00:15:52,490
give me to the man who had two talents
323 00:15:52,490 - 00:15:54,829
came back with four the man with five
324 00:15:54,829 - 00:15:57,290
talents came back with ten the man with
325 00:15:57,290 - 00:15:58,790
two talents came back with four the man
326 00:15:58,790 - 00:16:00,410
with five came back with ten those are
327 00:16:00,410 - 00:16:01,279
the same things
328 00:16:01,279 - 00:16:04,730
that's a hundredfold the man with one
329 00:16:04,730 - 00:16:07,339
came back with nothing now the Apostle
330 00:16:07,339 - 00:16:08,990
Paul says that when we compare ourselves
331 00:16:08,990 - 00:16:10,910
with one another and so doing it is not
332 00:16:10,910 - 00:16:13,130
wise because we don't have the same
333 00:16:13,130 - 00:16:16,160
starting place so if I'm gonna make
334 00:16:16,160 - 00:16:18,319
success predicated on what my neighbor
335 00:16:18,319 - 00:16:21,529
had that is only fair if I started with
336 00:16:21,529 - 00:16:25,490
what my neighbor started with let me ask
337 00:16:25,490 - 00:16:29,540
this what if I'm not clear about what I
338 00:16:29,540 - 00:16:30,920
started with because I've heard you do
339 00:16:30,920 - 00:16:32,689
this thing before - okay the advantage I
340 00:16:32,689 - 00:16:34,250
have interviewing you because I have a
341 00:16:34,250 - 00:16:36,410
library of things that you've said I
342 00:16:36,410 - 00:16:38,180
don't think there's been a sermon or by
343 00:16:38,180 - 00:16:41,000
the way yeah so I am scared to death the
344 00:16:41,000 - 00:16:42,830
upper hand
345 00:16:42,830 - 00:16:45,330
but you do this thing alright as I saw
346 00:16:45,330 - 00:16:46,650
him do this thing at a preachers
347 00:16:46,650 - 00:16:50,130
conference once and he said I won't i
348 00:16:50,130 - 00:16:52,800
won't imitate your voice go ahead go
349 00:16:52,800 - 00:16:54,830
ahead
350 00:16:55,040 - 00:16:58,890
he has this really intense mode there's
351 00:16:58,890 - 00:17:01,110
there's a wide-open Bishop Jake's and
352 00:17:01,110 - 00:17:03,840
then there's a very intense very it's
353 00:17:03,840 - 00:17:05,760
it's it's many gears but it's equal
354 00:17:05,760 - 00:17:07,619
intensity and it's terrifying
355 00:17:07,619 - 00:17:11,490
but it was a it was it was a pretty a
356 00:17:11,490 - 00:17:14,280
pretty big moment and you you say
357 00:17:14,280 - 00:17:16,380
there's nothing that I have that you
358 00:17:16,380 - 00:17:20,490
don't have I have one mouth you have one
359 00:17:20,490 - 00:17:24,869
mouth two ears you have two ears and you
360 00:17:24,869 - 00:17:26,280
have the script if he as you went all
361 00:17:26,280 - 00:17:30,750
the way to the toenails and I'm just
362 00:17:30,750 - 00:17:32,970
being honest Bishop respectfully I was
363 00:17:32,970 - 00:17:36,930
thinking that's not true you have this
364 00:17:36,930 - 00:17:39,720
mind and this ability and this voice
365 00:17:39,720 - 00:17:41,520
even as a preacher who admires you so
366 00:17:41,520 - 00:17:43,350
much there's a part of me that goes I
367 00:17:43,350 - 00:17:45,750
know the point is that God has given
368 00:17:45,750 - 00:17:47,730
each of us a calling but I think a lot
369 00:17:47,730 - 00:17:49,230
of us when we hear about the parable of
370 00:17:49,230 - 00:17:51,450
the talents we don't know well do I have
371 00:17:51,450 - 00:17:53,640
one do I have to do I have five I don't
372 00:17:53,640 - 00:17:54,720
want to get out there and do something
373 00:17:54,720 - 00:17:56,610
stupid that I wasn't meant to do but I
374 00:17:56,610 - 00:17:59,670
don't want to you really hit on so the
375 00:17:59,670 - 00:18:02,310
first thing I am in touch with myself in
376 00:18:02,310 - 00:18:05,640
a way that a lot of people are not I'd
377 00:18:05,640 - 00:18:06,690
owe me
378 00:18:06,690 - 00:18:10,490
I dated me
379 00:18:11,990 - 00:18:14,730
it's funny but it's true I've dated me I
380 00:18:14,730 - 00:18:16,380
know me you know when you date somebody
381 00:18:16,380 - 00:18:19,769
use for them to see who they are most
382 00:18:19,769 - 00:18:21,419
people are so busy dating other people
383 00:18:21,419 - 00:18:28,529
they've never dated themselves when god
384 00:18:28,529 - 00:18:32,250
says to Adam the very first command God
385 00:18:32,250 - 00:18:36,179
says to Adam is to be fruitful you can
386 00:18:36,179 - 00:18:39,620
only be fruitful if you are seed full
387 00:18:39,620 - 00:18:42,059
okay so we're talking about the
388 00:18:42,059 - 00:18:44,120
difference between fruit and seed
389 00:18:44,120 - 00:18:47,399
identifying your seed is what causes you
390 00:18:47,399 - 00:18:50,789
to be fruitful the first revelation of
391 00:18:50,789 - 00:18:53,490
seeds should happen in your family you
392 00:18:53,490 - 00:18:55,470
should have parents who are looking at
393 00:18:55,470 - 00:18:59,130
their kids looking for seeds I'm gonna
394 00:18:59,130 - 00:19:00,690
give you my grandbaby story you asked
395 00:19:00,690 - 00:19:01,919
for it you're gonna get it you just own
396 00:19:01,919 - 00:19:02,250
it
397 00:19:02,250 - 00:19:04,409
so we're in my church and it's dark in
398 00:19:04,409 - 00:19:05,760
my grandbabies in there and a bunch of
399 00:19:05,760 - 00:19:06,960
friends are in there we're taking
400 00:19:06,960 - 00:19:08,700
pictures and I can't find the light and
401 00:19:08,700 - 00:19:10,950
I you know the lights are complicated
402 00:19:10,950 - 00:19:12,269
back to you figure out how to turn I was
403 00:19:12,269 - 00:19:13,950
tough on him and so we're trying to get
404 00:19:13,950 - 00:19:16,830
some pictures and so my grandbaby ran
405 00:19:16,830 - 00:19:19,799
and she says wait a minute Paul I'm
406 00:19:19,799 - 00:19:22,620
gonna get a flashlight she went up under
407 00:19:22,620 - 00:19:24,539
the Pew where we have hidden flashlights
408 00:19:24,539 - 00:19:26,760
snatched down a flashlight and brought
409 00:19:26,760 - 00:19:28,769
it over said I'll take the pictures and
410 00:19:28,769 - 00:19:31,500
so I said to her I said baby don't you
411 00:19:31,500 - 00:19:33,330
want to be kids II don't you want to be
412 00:19:33,330 - 00:19:35,279
in the picture she said no I don't want
413 00:19:35,279 - 00:19:36,480
to be in the picture I want to hold the
414 00:19:36,480 - 00:19:40,900
light that's the seed right there
415 00:19:40,900 - 00:19:43,420
that's the see right there so we came
416 00:19:43,420 - 00:19:44,680
back to the house and I was getting
417 00:19:44,680 - 00:19:46,240
ready to take a picture and I'm trying
418 00:19:46,240 - 00:19:47,920
to keep up with you Millennials you know
419 00:19:47,920 - 00:19:50,500
it's so hard and I was trying to take a
420 00:19:50,500 - 00:19:52,990
selfie and I was trying to I got a timer
421 00:19:52,990 - 00:19:56,460
you know where you can back up because
422 00:19:59,050 - 00:20:01,030
if you follow me on Instagram you know
423 00:20:01,030 - 00:20:04,900
this is true and so I couldn't get my
424 00:20:04,900 - 00:20:07,300
phone to sit up and she she wouldn't got
425 00:20:07,300 - 00:20:09,820
some books and pumped it up and I said I
426 00:20:09,820 - 00:20:11,590
told my daughter I said put her in
427 00:20:11,590 - 00:20:14,050
leadership classes put her in management
428 00:20:14,050 - 00:20:18,460
classes she's a problem solver that
429 00:20:18,460 - 00:20:23,410
starts early early early her instinct in
430 00:20:23,410 - 00:20:26,470
a situation is to solve the problem she
431 00:20:26,470 - 00:20:27,850
says I don't want to be in the picture I
432 00:20:27,850 - 00:20:30,100
want to hold the light those are seeds
433 00:20:30,100 - 00:20:31,050
okay
434 00:20:31,050 - 00:20:33,670
directing that channel toward an area
435 00:20:33,670 - 00:20:36,340
where you can cultivate what God has
436 00:20:36,340 - 00:20:38,830
planted down inside of them is important
437 00:20:38,830 - 00:20:42,880
it's very very important there are
438 00:20:42,880 - 00:20:45,760
people in this room that have dormant
439 00:20:45,760 - 00:20:48,550
seeds laying inside of them that if they
440 00:20:48,550 - 00:20:50,020
get in the right atmosphere they're
441 00:20:50,020 - 00:20:51,670
gonna turn into things you have never
442 00:20:51,670 - 00:20:54,850
seen before they didn't always have the
443 00:20:54,850 - 00:20:56,860
benefit of parents who could see it or
444 00:20:56,860 - 00:20:58,929
had time to see it or know how to see it
445 00:20:58,929 - 00:21:01,570
but even as adults there are still seeds
446 00:21:01,570 - 00:21:03,370
down and you that have not been touched
447 00:21:03,370 - 00:21:06,970
yet that's what happened to Elijah he
448 00:21:06,970 - 00:21:09,630
was fulfilling his parents vision
449 00:21:09,630 - 00:21:12,460
plowing in the field every boy was no
450 00:21:12,460 - 00:21:14,780
farmer
451 00:21:14,780 - 00:21:16,550
just because you can run a plow that
452 00:21:16,550 - 00:21:19,820
mean you're a farmer but sometimes we
453 00:21:19,820 - 00:21:22,750
get stuck in what people expect right
454 00:21:22,750 - 00:21:25,130
and we've never found out who we are
455 00:21:25,130 - 00:21:26,510
because we're living somebody else's
456 00:21:26,510 - 00:21:29,540
dream and so there he is plowing in the
457 00:21:29,540 - 00:21:31,280
field doing what his daddy wanted going
458 00:21:31,280 - 00:21:32,690
around and said I guess this is our life
459 00:21:32,690 - 00:21:34,130
hands for me he's going around and
460 00:21:34,130 - 00:21:35,690
around in circles like many people are
461 00:21:35,690 - 00:21:37,100
listening at me right now you go to work
462 00:21:37,100 - 00:21:38,930
go to church go home go to work go to
463 00:21:38,930 - 00:21:40,550
church go home go to work go to church
464 00:21:40,550 - 00:21:42,020
go home you're playing around around a
465 00:21:42,020 - 00:21:44,900
circle until Elijah passed by him and
466 00:21:44,900 - 00:21:47,330
then he was exposed to some the moment
467 00:21:47,330 - 00:21:49,400
he was exposed to something greater he
468 00:21:49,400 - 00:21:52,730
dropped something lesser you understand
469 00:21:52,730 - 00:21:54,700
what I'm saying
470 00:21:54,700 - 00:21:57,980
that's why conversations like this are
471 00:21:57,980 - 00:22:00,950
important because really I'm not
472 00:22:00,950 - 00:22:04,060
throwing seeds I'm throwing fertilizer
473 00:22:04,060 - 00:22:07,130
and if it hits the seed it's going to
474 00:22:07,130 - 00:22:09,530
give birth to companies and businesses
475 00:22:09,530 - 00:22:12,410
and books and artistry and drama and all
476 00:22:12,410 - 00:22:14,780
kinds of stuff that's in this room that
477 00:22:14,780 - 00:22:16,910
people never have given themselves
478 00:22:16,910 - 00:22:21,340
permission to burn their plough yeah
479 00:22:21,340 - 00:22:23,270
that's what this book is all about
480 00:22:23,270 - 00:22:26,330
Bester it is about I'm not against
481 00:22:26,330 - 00:22:28,640
people working a job but we have
482 00:22:28,640 - 00:22:31,640
entrepreneurs in a job and you're
483 00:22:31,640 - 00:22:38,000
frustrating the company and you nobody
484 00:22:38,000 - 00:22:39,810
likes you
485 00:22:39,810 - 00:22:43,360
don't like you let me let me ask you
486 00:22:43,360 - 00:22:47,080
this because coaster scared or what up
487 00:22:47,080 - 00:22:49,450
you really I think that's a very
488 00:22:49,450 - 00:22:51,790
treatable moment they don't like you at
489 00:22:51,790 - 00:22:56,050
Bishop Jake's so true they don't like
490 00:22:56,050 - 00:22:58,420
you touch your neighbor and say they
491 00:22:58,420 - 00:23:01,110
don't like you
492 00:23:02,890 - 00:23:05,470
no I just want to clarify because it
493 00:23:05,470 - 00:23:07,710
seems like entrepreneur is a
494 00:23:07,710 - 00:23:10,870
entrepreneur is a trendy title these
495 00:23:10,870 - 00:23:13,390
days hear it more and more mm-hmm
496 00:23:13,390 - 00:23:16,090
it's not a weird thing anymore it's kind
497 00:23:16,090 - 00:23:19,870
of sexy to post you know on my grind and
498 00:23:19,870 - 00:23:22,900
you know what do you think about that
499 00:23:22,900 - 00:23:24,900
bishop because I would imagine that
500 00:23:24,900 - 00:23:27,250
generationally I know enough about how
501 00:23:27,250 - 00:23:29,260
you grew up maybe maybe people would
502 00:23:29,260 - 00:23:30,580
like to hear a little bit about what it
503 00:23:30,580 - 00:23:32,170
means to you what's the essence of
504 00:23:32,170 - 00:23:34,179
entrepreneurship to you your value
505 00:23:34,179 - 00:23:36,700
system versus how you see it being
506 00:23:36,700 - 00:23:39,340
portrayed culturally now especially in a
507 00:23:39,340 - 00:23:46,270
younger generation today when people say
508 00:23:46,270 - 00:23:47,799
they're on the ground they overslept
509 00:23:47,799 - 00:23:49,090
they're laying on the couch sugary
510 00:23:49,090 - 00:23:52,299
cereal that's what it means yeah that's
511 00:23:52,299 - 00:23:54,549
what it means today that is not what it
512 00:23:54,549 - 00:23:58,360
meant in my day and that is not what
513 00:23:58,360 - 00:24:01,470
makes people successful I have had I
514 00:24:01,470 - 00:24:03,760
have to be careful about even going down
515 00:24:03,760 - 00:24:07,210
this road I have been so blessed to get
516 00:24:07,210 - 00:24:08,520
in the room with some of the most
517 00:24:08,520 - 00:24:12,730
incredible people on the planet I had
518 00:24:12,730 - 00:24:16,830
lunch the other day with the CEO of AT&T
519 00:24:16,830 - 00:24:20,830
and we set for hours and hours talking
520 00:24:20,830 - 00:24:22,600
and interacting with each other and
521 00:24:22,600 - 00:24:25,510
became friends last Sunday I was invited
522 00:24:25,510 - 00:24:27,760
to Oprah's house as she launched her
523 00:24:27,760 - 00:24:30,190
book and I've seen her behind the scenes
524 00:24:30,190 - 00:24:32,500
and seeing how she operates who she is
525 00:24:32,500 - 00:24:35,940
in what she does pretty nice place
526 00:24:39,900 - 00:24:42,160
instead of burden my plow when I came
527 00:24:42,160 - 00:24:45,360
home I started to burn down my house I
528 00:24:45,360 - 00:24:48,660
said I said it afire this year so lately
529 00:24:48,660 - 00:24:53,230
I've seen people who were on their grand
530 00:24:53,230 - 00:24:56,080

I've seen people on the grand what on
532 00:24:58,390 - 00:25:01,000
the ground really is is a work ethic
533 00:25:01,000 - 00:25:04,120
that would blow your mind it would blow
534 00:25:04,120 - 00:25:06,670
your mind I'm 60 years old and I'm
535 00:25:06,670 - 00:25:08,620

fighting for the mic from moment to
544 00:25:28,570 - 00:25:30,550
moment my grandmother talks to you every
545 00:25:30,550 - 00:25:32,620
now and then all of my ancestors are
546 00:25:32,620 - 00:25:35,290
sitting on this table all the way back
547 00:25:35,290 - 00:25:38,040
to Nigeria
548 00:25:43,400 - 00:25:46,550
one that my ancestors were Evo's from
549 00:25:46,550 - 00:25:49,670
Nigeria and Evo's are called black Jews
550 00:25:49,670 - 00:25:51,920
that they're industrious said they go
551 00:25:51,920 - 00:25:53,660
after things that they're hardworking
552 00:25:53,660 - 00:25:56,570

talking about is culture okay and now
557 00:26:07,160 - 00:26:10,550
not racial culture family culture where
558 00:26:10,550 - 00:26:12,470
we're the demonstration of what my
559 00:26:12,470 - 00:26:15,860

they talked about lazy like it was a
565 00:26:27,290 - 00:26:31,370
disease I mean like the worst thing you
566 00:26:31,370 - 00:26:33,710

and you're not really on the grind
583 00:27:30,750 - 00:27:33,750
here's the problem the Bible said
584 00:27:33,750 - 00:27:37,750
Benjamin Jacob was dying laying in the
585 00:27:37,750 - 00:27:40,060
bed talked about fathers to son he's
586 00:27:40,060 - 00:27:41,590
laying in the bed he's dying
587 00:27:41,590 - 00:27:43,780
and he set up the Bible said Israel
588 00:27:43,780 - 00:27:45,040
strengthened himself
589 00:27:45,040 - 00:27:47,500
notice that Israel strengthened himself
590 00:27:47,500 - 00:27:50,460
set up in the bed and he said Benjamin
591 00:27:50,460 - 00:27:55,600
shove Ravin as a wolf in the morning he
592 00:27:55,600 - 00:27:58,210
should have fire the prey and in the
593 00:27:58,210 - 00:28:01,320
evening he should divide the spoils
594 00:28:01,320 - 00:28:04,480
notice the time caught there yeah in the
595 00:28:04,480 - 00:28:06,880
morning you desire the prey while you're
596 00:28:06,880 - 00:28:09,120

if you don't devour when you're young
607 00:28:40,570 - 00:28:43,310

the part in the book about viagra by the
681 00:32:44,220 - 00:32:46,380
way it's in the book you have to get the
682 00:32:46,380 - 00:32:50,160
book it's just an example you're talking
683 00:32:50,160 - 00:32:52,350
about coca-cola and other products that
684 00:32:52,350 - 00:32:54,960
were discovered by accident mhm I did
685 00:32:54,960 - 00:32:56,520
that sometimes in doing something that
686 00:32:56,520 - 00:32:58,260
fails you lead to something that you
687 00:32:58,260 - 00:32:59,700
didn't even know that was really the
688 00:32:59,700 - 00:33:01,560
whole purpose all along absolutely
689 00:33:01,560 - 00:33:04,470
alright so give us one ten twenty
690 00:33:04,470 - 00:33:06,750
examples of those in your life things
691 00:33:06,750 - 00:33:09,570
that you accidentally succeeded in every
692 00:33:09,570 - 00:33:13,470
everything in my life I stumbled into is
693 00:33:13,470 - 00:33:15,900
that right I stumbled into I'd never
694 00:33:15,900 - 00:33:19,350
thought I would be producing films my
695 00:33:19,350 - 00:33:21,270
wife and I started out doing gospel
696 00:33:21,270 - 00:33:23,700
plays and going on tour during gospel
697 00:33:23,700 - 00:33:26,490
place we had no intention that we were
698 00:33:26,490 - 00:33:29,580
going to ever do movies we were trying
699 00:33:29,580 - 00:33:31,080
to do plays and trying to figure out how
700 00:33:31,080 - 00:33:32,700
to do that right and losing and losing
701 00:33:32,700 - 00:33:36,840
money it went to Atlanta and and just
702 00:33:36,840 - 00:33:39,350
lost our shirts for the first play and
703 00:33:39,350 - 00:33:42,090
and in the process of stumbling around
704 00:33:42,090 - 00:33:43,860
we finally figured out how to get the
705 00:33:43,860 - 00:33:44,980
play kind of going
706 00:33:44,980 - 00:33:47,350
then I met this dude that I said let's
707 00:33:47,350 - 00:33:49,270
collaborate and do it together and Madhu
708 00:33:49,270 - 00:33:51,190
was a publicist my mom
709 00:33:51,190 - 00:33:56,080
Tyler Perry yeah I heard about it
710 00:33:56,080 - 00:33:59,799
somewhere yeah yeah Tyler Perry was
711 00:33:59,799 - 00:34:02,110
fresh out of sleeping in his car right
712 00:34:02,110 - 00:34:07,179
and I was fresh out of money and so we
713 00:34:07,179 - 00:34:09,190
got together and collaborated and did a
714 00:34:09,190 - 00:34:12,609
play called woman are loose and when we
715 00:34:12,609 - 00:34:14,109
toured the country during one on our
716 00:34:14,109 - 00:34:17,260
loose and then we went to LA and did it
717 00:34:17,260 - 00:34:19,239
and a guy named Reuben cannon was a
718 00:34:19,239 - 00:34:20,889
naughty she'd never know who's in your
719 00:34:20,889 - 00:34:23,290
Audis footnote to preacher speaker
720 00:34:23,290 - 00:34:25,840
singers anybody on the stage never
721 00:34:25,840 - 00:34:28,260
adjust your performance to the crowd
722 00:34:28,260 - 00:34:30,489
because you'd never know who's in the
723 00:34:30,489 - 00:34:33,790
crowd you never know always respect your
724 00:34:33,790 - 00:34:36,219
audience with your best performance I
725 00:34:36,219 - 00:34:38,440
don't care if it's three people one of
726 00:34:38,440 - 00:34:40,119
those people might change the trajectory
727 00:34:40,119 - 00:34:42,400
of your life
728 00:34:42,400 - 00:34:44,100
[Music]
729 00:34:44,100 - 00:34:47,500
so Reuben cannon was in the crowd and he
730 00:34:47,500 - 00:34:49,540
saw the play and he said I want to make
731 00:34:49,540 - 00:34:51,219
it a movie he said I want to make it a
732 00:34:51,219 - 00:34:52,570
movie I didn't have bare mind it had my
733 00:34:52,570 - 00:34:56,260
movie money movie and money both start
734 00:34:56,260 - 00:34:59,410
with the M for a reason you can say when
735 00:34:59,410 - 00:35:01,650
you have one you got to have the other
736 00:35:01,650 - 00:35:05,260
but he said something to me that becomes
737 00:35:05,260 - 00:35:08,290
the way business people think they don't
738 00:35:08,290 - 00:35:10,510
fail to do something because they don't
739 00:35:10,510 - 00:35:13,090
have the money he says we'll raise some
740 00:35:13,090 - 00:35:16,960
money let's do the movie listening to
741 00:35:16,960 - 00:35:18,609
different attitude I can't do it cuz I
742 00:35:18,609 - 00:35:20,680
don't have the money he doesn't see
743 00:35:20,680 - 00:35:25,690
money as an issue if you see it as an
744 00:35:25,690 - 00:35:29,220
issue it'll be a stop sign
745 00:35:29,560 - 00:35:33,020
he says we'll raise some money so Cedric
746 00:35:33,020 - 00:35:34,640
the Entertainer and I can't remember who
747 00:35:34,640 - 00:35:36,260
all over put some money and in different
748 00:35:36,260 - 00:35:38,089
people cuz the money and it because he
749 00:35:38,089 - 00:35:41,450
knew them relationships are your
750 00:35:41,450 - 00:35:45,410
greatest resource people who don't like
751 00:35:45,410 - 00:35:47,690
money don't like resources because
752 00:35:47,690 - 00:35:49,220
everything that's not ever gonna come to
753 00:35:49,220 - 00:35:51,710
you is gonna come to a person that's why
754 00:35:51,710 - 00:35:52,670
you gotta be careful how you treat
755 00:35:52,670 - 00:35:54,920
people because it's not guarantee that
756 00:35:54,920 - 00:35:57,650
it'll be somebody you like your friend
757 00:35:57,650 - 00:35:59,960
they won't necessarily be your color and
758 00:35:59,960 - 00:36:04,970
they may not have your theology okay but
759 00:36:04,970 - 00:36:08,450
God may use them to bless you you know
760 00:36:08,450 - 00:36:10,310
the Ravens didn't go to church but they
761 00:36:10,310 - 00:36:11,440
fairly lads
762 00:36:11,440 - 00:36:17,020
so anyway so we put the money together
763 00:36:21,150 - 00:36:23,650
we put the motor we put the money
764 00:36:23,650 - 00:36:24,880
together and we did this little
765 00:36:24,880 - 00:36:26,769
low-budget film film woman Art Loosed
766 00:36:26,769 - 00:36:29,469
and just sort of whim submitted it to
767 00:36:29,469 - 00:36:32,079
the Santa Barbara Film Festival and
768 00:36:32,079 - 00:36:35,319
along the festival and all of a sudden a
769 00:36:35,319 - 00:36:37,420
movie that we were gonna put on TV went
770 00:36:37,420 - 00:36:39,910
to screen you see how you're stumbling
771 00:36:39,910 - 00:36:42,400
into it it's it's not always that you
772 00:36:42,400 - 00:36:46,089
planned it but if if you honor where you
773 00:36:46,089 - 00:36:50,229
are with your best effort even if it is
774 00:36:50,229 - 00:36:54,219
not it it will lead to it so as you walk
775 00:36:54,219 - 00:36:56,859
along you stumble into it I was telling
776 00:36:56,859 - 00:36:59,319
my church Sunday if you go to my stream
777 00:36:59,319 - 00:37:01,239
and straight and stream our service
778 00:37:01,239 - 00:37:03,670
Sunday you get to see a big ugly six
779 00:37:03,670 - 00:37:06,069
foot two men start whimpering and lips
780 00:37:06,069 - 00:37:09,670
start trembling got you guys right here
781 00:37:09,670 - 00:37:12,549
I had no idea when I was pastoring in
782 00:37:12,549 - 00:37:17,289
Smithers forty people 50 people father's
783 00:37:17,289 - 00:37:21,749
West Virginia on Easter on Easter on
784 00:37:21,749 - 00:37:25,420
Easter forty on a piece of rock
785 00:37:25,420 - 00:37:27,969
Oh Easter that's gotten pregnant folks
786 00:37:27,969 - 00:37:29,769
in the head members we had about 50
787 00:37:29,769 - 00:37:30,339
people
788 00:37:30,339 - 00:37:37,329
I wasn't I had no idea that the potter's
789 00:37:37,329 - 00:37:41,829
house was in me you stumble into yeah
790 00:37:41,829 - 00:37:44,619
but until you dignified the forty you
791 00:37:44,619 - 00:37:49,449
don't get the 40,000 the property today
792 00:37:49,449 - 00:37:52,209
is that people are so busy going after
793 00:37:52,209 - 00:37:54,099
the 40,000 that they don't respect the
794 00:37:54,099 - 00:37:56,979
40 and if you don't do your best with
795 00:37:56,979 - 00:37:59,799
the 40 you won't get to the 40,000 so
796 00:37:59,799 - 00:38:02,469
all of my life I stumbled into
797 00:38:02,469 - 00:38:04,599
relationships and situations and
798 00:38:04,599 - 00:38:07,390
circumstances that I had no idea we're
799 00:38:07,390 - 00:38:09,190
going to happen in my life but as you
800 00:38:09,190 - 00:38:11,739
dignified the present with your
801 00:38:11,739 - 00:38:12,690
attention
802 00:38:12,690 - 00:38:15,400
and like that to be present in the
803 00:38:15,400 - 00:38:17,650
moment I like that that is so important
804 00:38:17,650 - 00:38:18,999
and sometimes I have to make myself do
805 00:38:18,999 - 00:38:21,099
it because I'm such a planner I'm so
806 00:38:21,099 - 00:38:23,650
strategic I'm really pin years ahead of
807 00:38:23,650 - 00:38:24,999
where the calendar is right now I'm
808 00:38:24,999 - 00:38:26,560
waiting on to catch up I
809 00:38:26,560 - 00:38:28,750
well you are so strategic that's what
810 00:38:28,750 - 00:38:31,240
blew my mind about you I I thought you
811 00:38:31,240 - 00:38:35,020
were just a cyborg before I met you do
812 00:38:35,020 - 00:38:35,950
you know what I mean though I thought
813 00:38:35,950 - 00:38:41,770
you were just because of me I thought I
814 00:38:41,770 - 00:38:44,680
thought I thought there was this force
815 00:38:44,680 - 00:38:45,730
of nature
816 00:38:45,730 - 00:38:47,620
Bishop TD jakes was a force of nature
817 00:38:47,620 - 00:38:50,680
and some little things that I've seen
818 00:38:50,680 - 00:38:52,090
some little things that I've noticed
819 00:38:52,090 - 00:38:54,430
there's a um I thought I would use a
820 00:38:54,430 - 00:38:54,940
prop
821 00:38:54,940 - 00:38:57,520
bring me that yeah that one that one
822 00:38:57,520 - 00:39:01,540
this is from the book I saw um thanks
823 00:39:01,540 - 00:39:04,600
Jonathan see he didn't want to come all
824 00:39:04,600 - 00:39:07,210
the way up he just stopped short bless
825 00:39:07,210 - 00:39:16,930
like that we'll all of sin but I love
826 00:39:16,930 - 00:39:20,050
the quote in the book you compare our
827 00:39:20,050 - 00:39:22,690
vision to architecture mm-hmm and you
828 00:39:22,690 - 00:39:24,070
talk about how if you plant it with a
829 00:39:24,070 - 00:39:26,500
pencil mm-hmm you can weld it with steel
830 00:39:26,500 - 00:39:28,960
mm-hmm and that's what surprised me
831 00:39:28,960 - 00:39:32,520
about you because you're so gifted
832 00:39:32,520 - 00:39:36,100
there's there's no denying that when I
833 00:39:36,100 - 00:39:40,330
saw the systems the structures the
834 00:39:40,330 - 00:39:43,510
thought process that goes behind who you
835 00:39:43,510 - 00:39:46,410
are it almost made me depressed
836 00:39:46,410 - 00:39:49,020
because I realized oh this isn't magic
837 00:39:49,020 - 00:39:51,400
you may have stumbled into it from one
838 00:39:51,400 - 00:39:53,050
perspective but from another perspective
839 00:39:53,050 - 00:39:55,840
it was strategic stumbling at least you
840 00:39:55,840 - 00:39:57,730
were trying to do something I let me
841 00:39:57,730 - 00:39:59,830
interrupt you it leaves you stumble into
842 00:39:59,830 - 00:40:03,070
it God gives you an opportunity and what
843 00:40:03,070 - 00:40:04,810
you do with that opportunity is your
844 00:40:04,810 - 00:40:07,030
gift to him got it did you understand
845 00:40:07,030 - 00:40:08,710
when God gives you an opportunity
846 00:40:08,710 - 00:40:10,300
instead of just jumping on the
847 00:40:10,300 - 00:40:12,700
opportunity you're supposed to see what
848 00:40:12,700 - 00:40:16,030
it can be I tell them all the time you
849 00:40:16,030 - 00:40:20,080
know God God never made not one table
850 00:40:20,080 - 00:40:22,030
yeah I love this do this this is this is
851 00:40:22,030 - 00:40:23,269
good
852 00:40:23,269 - 00:40:26,509
god never made a chair in all of his
853 00:40:26,509 - 00:40:28,279
years of being God he's never made a
854 00:40:28,279 - 00:40:30,559
chair he's never made a table he just
855 00:40:30,559 - 00:40:33,980
made a tree and the rest of it was up to
856 00:40:33,980 - 00:40:38,299
us right when God has you a tree imagine
857 00:40:38,299 - 00:40:41,869
a table a chair imagine a wall and a
858 00:40:41,869 - 00:40:42,470
room
859 00:40:42,470 - 00:40:45,559
imagine a log-cabin imagine what it can
860 00:40:45,559 - 00:40:49,099
be imagine what it could be imagine what
861 00:40:49,099 - 00:40:53,619
it could be of mercy
862 00:40:53,619 - 00:40:57,499
if he hands you a child imagine what it
863 00:40:57,499 - 00:41:00,920
can be if he hands you a spouse imagine
864 00:41:00,920 - 00:41:03,730
what he can be
865 00:41:09,950 - 00:41:13,650
without your church is Rowdy they shout
866 00:41:13,650 - 00:41:16,920
and stuff okay I didn't know that I was
867 00:41:16,920 - 00:41:20,960
out what did you think we did over here
868 00:41:20,960 - 00:41:25,010
this is Elevation Church
869 00:41:25,810 - 00:41:27,450
[Laughter]
870 00:41:27,450 - 00:41:31,170
to see him at university city look at
871 00:41:31,170 - 00:41:34,160
university city
872 00:41:36,530 - 00:41:43,940
[Applause]
873 00:41:43,940 - 00:41:46,829
so I'm in South Africa and I'm on a
874 00:41:46,829 - 00:41:49,740
safari and I'm really like tripping out
875 00:41:49,740 - 00:41:51,119
for this safari and I'm out here with
876 00:41:51,119 - 00:41:53,190
all of these big animals and stuff and I
877 00:41:53,190 - 00:41:54,750
noticed the elephant is wound around the
878 00:41:54,750 - 00:41:56,910
elephant is strong and he's big and it's
879 00:41:56,910 - 00:41:59,430
tough and its powers and its weight they
880 00:41:59,430 - 00:42:01,410
throw its weight around he throws his
881 00:42:01,410 - 00:42:02,700
weight around what can you do with him
882 00:42:02,700 - 00:42:03,750
because he's so big
883 00:42:03,750 - 00:42:07,470
God made him big as a defense the lion
884 00:42:07,470 - 00:42:11,010
roars when he roars everybody is almost
885 00:42:11,010 - 00:42:13,500
paralyzed in fear because God gave him
886 00:42:13,500 - 00:42:16,289
his roar as his defense the cheetah says
887 00:42:16,289 - 00:42:18,180
I can't roar like that but I can run
888 00:42:18,180 - 00:42:19,079
like the wind
889 00:42:19,079 - 00:42:21,329
the cheetah food he goes running through
890 00:42:21,329 - 00:42:23,400
the woods because God laid him able to
891 00:42:23,400 - 00:42:26,400
run because that's his defense the Eagle
892 00:42:26,400 - 00:42:28,859
spreads his wings and soars into the air
893 00:42:28,859 - 00:42:32,609
and says I can't run but I can fly God
894 00:42:32,609 - 00:42:34,380
let dingo be able to fly because it was
895 00:42:34,380 - 00:42:36,750
his defense and i'm walking around in
896 00:42:36,750 - 00:42:39,119
the jungle and i said when lord i can't
897 00:42:39,119 - 00:42:42,210
fly like the eagle i can't run like the
898 00:42:42,210 - 00:42:44,010
cheetah i can't roar like the land and i
899 00:42:44,010 - 00:42:45,720
can't throw my weight around like the
900 00:42:45,720 - 00:42:48,630
elephant what did you give man as his
901 00:42:48,630 - 00:42:53,130
defense in the whole ecosystem of human
902 00:42:53,130 - 00:42:56,520
of life force what did you give me he
903 00:42:56,520 - 00:43:00,960
said I gave you a brain your brain is
904 00:43:00,960 - 00:43:04,650
your defense that's why God didn't make
905 00:43:04,650 - 00:43:08,299
chairs he only brings it halfway and
906 00:43:08,299 - 00:43:11,579
then lets you imagine collaboration
907 00:43:11,579 - 00:43:13,940
develop you have to say well I'm saying
908 00:43:13,940 - 00:43:17,190
the problem with church people is that
909 00:43:17,190 - 00:43:21,200
we are taught that God makes furniture
910 00:43:21,200 - 00:43:27,650
so we pray and pray and pray and pray
911 00:43:27,730 - 00:43:52,869
I don't do that like trees
912 00:43:52,869 - 00:43:58,690
I want you to look around your life for
913 00:43:58,690 - 00:44:05,259
trees not tables God's gonna bring it
914 00:44:05,259 - 00:44:07,420
within the reach of your mind
915 00:44:07,420 - 00:44:09,880
and your creativity is gonna take it the
916 00:44:09,880 - 00:44:12,160
rest of the way and it's gonna turn into
917 00:44:12,160 - 00:44:14,170
apps and it's confirmed in the Apple
918 00:44:14,170 - 00:44:16,269
phones and it's gonna turn the computers
919 00:44:16,269 - 00:44:18,700
Cisco turn into satellite systems in the
920 00:44:18,700 - 00:44:20,799
heavens look at what all we were able to
921 00:44:20,799 - 00:44:23,890
do lo other put no other creature no
922 00:44:23,890 - 00:44:26,650
other species and send satellites up
923 00:44:26,650 - 00:44:29,469
into the air created smartphones look at
924 00:44:29,469 - 00:44:46,059
what we did you know my neighborhood got
925 00:44:46,059 - 00:44:47,769

with me
936 00:45:12,500 - 00:45:19,970
as a man thinketh so is he when you
937 00:45:19,970 - 00:45:21,920
start talking about the keiko strategic
938 00:45:21,920 - 00:45:25,250
that I am God gives me raw elements and
939 00:45:25,250 - 00:45:29,960
I stared them I stared what I've been
940 00:45:29,960 - 00:45:30,560
given
941 00:45:30,560 - 00:45:33,230
like I stare at attacks mm-hmm I
942 00:45:33,230 - 00:45:35,090
preached the way I do not because of
943 00:45:35,090 - 00:45:36,830
what I know about the text how long I
944 00:45:36,830 - 00:45:40,780
stare at the text I just stare at it
945 00:45:40,780 - 00:45:45,950
it's tearing it it's tearing it I look
946 00:45:45,950 - 00:45:47,900
at my life I look at my wife I look at
947 00:45:47,900 - 00:45:50,360
my kids I look at my age I look at my
948 00:45:50,360 - 00:45:53,330
stage I look at my influence and I stare
949 00:45:53,330 - 00:45:58,240
at it and imagine what it could be
950 00:45:58,240 - 00:46:04,210
and I build my strategy from my stare
951 00:46:05,240 - 00:46:08,690
okay I don't have time to be gazing of
952 00:46:08,690 - 00:46:11,260
what you're doing
953 00:46:14,950 - 00:46:17,360
God wish if I can help you you know I
954 00:46:17,360 - 00:46:19,520
will but I'm not over in your business
955 00:46:19,520 - 00:46:20,750
I'm never gonna be over your business
956 00:46:20,750 - 00:46:22,610
cuz every time you turn around I'm
957 00:46:22,610 - 00:46:26,450
staring at mine for this season for this
958 00:46:26,450 - 00:46:29,210
stage for this age in my life what can I
959 00:46:29,210 - 00:46:33,410
do with what I have left your miracle is
960 00:46:33,410 - 00:46:37,190
never in what you lost it is always in
961 00:46:37,190 - 00:46:40,910
what you have left if you're down to a
962 00:46:40,910 - 00:46:43,640
handful of meal that's all you need if
963 00:46:43,640 - 00:46:45,020
you're down to two fish and five loaves
964 00:46:45,020 - 00:46:48,110
of bread that's all you need and so when
965 00:46:48,110 - 00:46:49,520
you start looking at what you have left
966 00:46:49,520 - 00:46:52,760
stop grieving over what you lost because
967 00:46:52,760 - 00:46:56,930
if you leave it at you or the lasted it
968 00:46:56,930 - 00:46:59,480
might only be a part of all but if it's
969 00:46:59,480 - 00:47:01,310
less the miracles always in what's left
970 00:47:01,310 - 00:47:04,400
so what can you imagine with that that
971 00:47:04,400 - 00:47:06,710
woman that powder all would have never
972 00:47:06,710 - 00:47:09,010
done anything if you didn't pour it
973 00:47:09,010 - 00:47:12,700
it would pour as long as there was
974 00:47:12,700 - 00:47:15,950
capacity to receive so when you start
975 00:47:15,950 - 00:47:17,600
talking about being strategic and this
976 00:47:17,600 - 00:47:19,609
is gonna help you a whole lot for me
977 00:47:19,609 - 00:47:23,630
once I envision where I'm going then I
978 00:47:23,630 - 00:47:28,070
can tell what I don't need talk about
979 00:47:28,070 - 00:47:31,850
that you see if I pack to go on this
980 00:47:31,850 - 00:47:34,660
trip based on where I was going I
981 00:47:34,660 - 00:47:37,640
checked the weather I looked at the
982 00:47:37,640 - 00:47:39,140
places I was going to speak and
983 00:47:39,140 - 00:47:41,240
everything that I thought I would need
984 00:47:41,240 - 00:47:42,740
for where I was going I put it in the
985 00:47:42,740 - 00:47:45,710
bag and anything I didn't pack no
986 00:47:45,710 - 00:47:48,350
swimming trunks because I figured I
987 00:47:48,350 - 00:47:50,840
wouldn't don't need them why do I load
988 00:47:50,840 - 00:47:53,279
down my bag with things I don't need
989 00:47:53,279 - 00:47:58,180
okay I want I want to circumspectly with
990 00:47:58,180 - 00:48:01,240
great precision tailored my life down to
991 00:48:01,240 - 00:48:03,849
the things that are necessary to get me
992 00:48:03,849 - 00:48:08,859
where I'm trying to go Steven Mansfield
993 00:48:08,859 - 00:48:11,619
who is the CEO of Southern Methodist
994 00:48:11,619 - 00:48:13,420
hospitals this chain of hospitals
995 00:48:13,420 - 00:48:16,299
throughout Texas a multi-billion dollar
996 00:48:16,299 - 00:48:22,539
corporation healthcare is a business he
997 00:48:22,539 - 00:48:25,000
also was the former president of the
998 00:48:25,000 - 00:48:27,099
Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce and
999 00:48:27,099 - 00:48:29,230
as he moved out of office I was there
1000 00:48:29,230 - 00:48:31,960
incidentally I am the first clergy to
1001 00:48:31,960 - 00:48:33,819
ever be on the Executive Board of the
1002 00:48:33,819 - 00:48:36,369
Dallas Chamber of Commerce and there I
1003 00:48:36,369 - 00:48:38,260
am on the Executive Board they control
1004 00:48:38,260 - 00:48:39,910
all the wealth that comes in and out of
1005 00:48:39,910 - 00:48:41,859
our city and all the planning and all
1006 00:48:41,859 - 00:48:43,779
the preparations to be able to move the
1007 00:48:43,779 - 00:48:46,180
city of Dallas forward there I am in a
1008 00:48:46,180 - 00:48:48,940
room full of CEOs and executives and I'm
1009 00:48:48,940 - 00:48:52,260
listening at them talk and I'm staring
1010 00:48:52,260 - 00:48:54,069
I'm staying
1011 00:48:54,069 - 00:48:55,960
I could tell a great preacher sitting in
1012 00:48:55,960 - 00:48:57,700
a crowd by how he stares while I'm
1013 00:48:57,700 - 00:49:00,779
preaching it's all of a stair brother
1014 00:49:00,779 - 00:49:03,700
I'm steering and Stephen says something
1015 00:49:03,700 - 00:49:07,720
he says he said all of our CEOs know it
1016 00:49:07,720 - 00:49:09,670
is not where we're trying to go that
1017 00:49:09,670 - 00:49:11,769
it's the problem you can get great
1018 00:49:11,769 - 00:49:14,140
consensus from all of your staff on the
1019 00:49:14,140 - 00:49:16,269
gold and we spent all of our time
1020 00:49:16,269 - 00:49:17,710
talking about the goal of where we're
1021 00:49:17,710 - 00:49:19,660
trying to go he said that all of you
1022 00:49:19,660 - 00:49:22,359
CEOs know that's not the problem it is
1023 00:49:22,359 - 00:49:23,740
not where we're trying to go that it's
1024 00:49:23,740 - 00:49:25,480
the problem it is what are you willing
1025 00:49:25,480 - 00:49:29,339
to leave behind to get there
1026 00:49:29,640 - 00:49:32,619
when he said that I ripped out my phone
1027 00:49:32,619 - 00:49:34,390
like I had the costume and I was I had
1028 00:49:34,390 - 00:49:36,369
both thumbs I very seldom use both times
1029 00:49:36,369 - 00:49:38,800
I had both from I was just a pecking at
1030 00:49:38,800 - 00:49:41,349
a pecking little bit is what are you
1031 00:49:41,349 - 00:49:43,780
willing to leave bad if you're gonna
1032 00:49:43,780 - 00:49:48,130
soar yeah if you're gonna soar you have
1033 00:49:48,130 - 00:49:52,150
to break a law to soar the law is the
1034 00:49:52,150 - 00:49:55,089
law of gravity the Wright brothers had
1035 00:49:55,089 - 00:49:58,270
to figure this out that every time they
1036 00:49:58,270 - 00:50:00,430
tried to go up as occlude was right
1037 00:50:00,430 - 00:50:03,280
something kept pulling them down there
1038 00:50:03,280 - 00:50:04,660
are people in this room that every time
1039 00:50:04,660 - 00:50:06,580
they go after their dream something
1040 00:50:06,580 - 00:50:09,520
keeps pulling them down they want to
1041 00:50:09,520 - 00:50:10,990
open up a not for profit they want to
1042 00:50:10,990 - 00:50:12,339
open up a healthcare they want to open
1043 00:50:12,339 - 00:50:14,020
up a home for unwed mothers there's some
1044 00:50:14,020 - 00:50:16,210
lovely good things it's not about being
1045 00:50:16,210 - 00:50:19,030
rich it's about purpose that they're
1046 00:50:19,030 - 00:50:20,500
trying to do but every time they try to
1047 00:50:20,500 - 00:50:22,270
do it that something keeps pulling them
1048 00:50:22,270 - 00:50:25,030
down there is a law that always wants to
1049 00:50:25,030 - 00:50:26,520
pull you down to where you came from
1050 00:50:26,520 - 00:50:29,980
yeah you came from the dirt and where
1051 00:50:29,980 - 00:50:32,310
you came from will always call you back
1052 00:50:32,310 - 00:50:35,349
you have to escape the gravitational
1053 00:50:35,349 - 00:50:38,170
pull of where you came from and in order
1054 00:50:38,170 - 00:50:39,730
to do that you have to break through
1055 00:50:39,730 - 00:50:43,060
into a higher law the higher law is the
1056 00:50:43,060 - 00:50:45,849
law of aerodynamics but you have to
1057 00:50:45,849 - 00:50:47,530
break into it and why not leave the
1058 00:50:47,530 - 00:50:49,450
force for the reason I need the runway
1059 00:50:49,450 - 00:50:52,119
to get my engines ramped up it's because
1060 00:50:52,119 - 00:50:53,800
when I come up against it and this is
1061 00:50:53,800 - 00:50:55,270
where young people make a mistake they
1062 00:50:55,270 - 00:50:58,330
underestimate the pull to fall backwards
1063 00:50:58,330 - 00:51:01,150
they saw planes take off and they said I
1064 00:51:01,150 - 00:51:01,839
can do that
1065 00:51:01,839 - 00:51:04,210
but they underestimate how much force it
1066 00:51:04,210 - 00:51:06,490
takes to break through the gravitational
1067 00:51:06,490 - 00:51:08,980
pull that brings you back down so when
1068 00:51:08,980 - 00:51:10,510
they fall back down they give up on
1069 00:51:10,510 - 00:51:11,560
themselves and they stop believing
1070 00:51:11,560 - 00:51:13,510
themselves whereas if you would just go
1071 00:51:13,510 - 00:51:15,910
faster at it and go harder at it you
1072 00:51:15,910 - 00:51:19,420
break through the line of random P so
1073 00:51:19,420 - 00:51:23,369
Halloween you know
1074 00:51:25,150 - 00:51:27,620
everybody has something that's fun to
1075 00:51:27,620 - 00:51:29,690
pull you back to where you came yeah
1076 00:51:29,690 - 00:51:31,880
yeah and so when the Wright brothers
1077 00:51:31,880 - 00:51:33,410
built the plane in the book is built
1078 00:51:33,410 - 00:51:34,490
around the Wright brothers when the
1079 00:51:34,490 - 00:51:36,080
Wright brothers built the plane they
1080 00:51:36,080 - 00:51:37,310
built it in Dayton Ohio
1081 00:51:37,310 - 00:51:44,450
and they built it in a bag there's three
1082 00:51:44,450 - 00:51:45,800
old ladies over the corner there's a
1083 00:51:45,800 - 00:51:50,200
babe hey Susan I didn't see about uh
1084 00:51:50,200 - 00:51:54,500
they were in Dayton Ohio and they
1085 00:51:54,500 - 00:51:56,240
figured out they built the first plane
1086 00:51:56,240 - 00:51:59,510
in a bicycle shop they couldn't say to
1087 00:51:59,510 - 00:52:02,360
themselves well when I get what I need
1088 00:52:02,360 - 00:52:04,310
I'm gonna build a plane we don't have a
1089 00:52:04,310 - 00:52:06,170
manufacturer we don't have any backing
1090 00:52:06,170 - 00:52:07,820
we don't have any money and by the way
1091 00:52:07,820 - 00:52:11,540
we don't even have a degree but none of
1092 00:52:11,540 - 00:52:14,390
that stopped them from building I wrote
1093 00:52:14,390 - 00:52:16,100
this book to people who don't have what
1094 00:52:16,100 - 00:52:17,440
they need
1095 00:52:17,440 - 00:52:21,170
okay I didn't really write the book -
1096 00:52:21,170 - 00:52:24,500
big time entrepreneurs cuz all of those
1097 00:52:24,500 - 00:52:29,330
books you're talking about I wrote this
1098 00:52:29,330 - 00:52:31,460
book to people with big dreams and
1099 00:52:31,460 - 00:52:39,950
little resources so bill your plane from
1100 00:52:39,950 - 00:52:43,130
a bicycle shop and then they got it all
1101 00:52:43,130 - 00:52:44,930
built up in Dayton and then they figured
1102 00:52:44,930 - 00:52:46,640
out something and I could fight things I
1103 00:52:46,640 - 00:52:48,290
do in the book I cite examples of things
1104 00:52:48,290 - 00:52:51,230
that I did that succeeded or fell off of
1105 00:52:51,230 - 00:52:55,490
this next thing they said we have to
1106 00:52:55,490 - 00:53:00,080
move to Kitty Hawk North Carolina there
1107 00:53:00,080 - 00:53:02,480
were two reasons one if it came back
1108 00:53:02,480 - 00:53:05,210
down it would fall in the brush and the
1109 00:53:05,210 - 00:53:08,210
landing would be better and the second
1110 00:53:08,210 - 00:53:12,200
reason was the wind was right
1111 00:53:12,200 - 00:53:14,400
there are times you can do the right
1112 00:53:14,400 - 00:53:17,300
thing in the wrong wind
1113 00:53:17,300 - 00:53:20,880
okay some of the things I've tried
1114 00:53:20,880 - 00:53:22,980
didn't work because I didn't study the
1115 00:53:22,980 - 00:53:23,580
trend
1116 00:53:23,580 - 00:53:25,500
I studied the plane but I didn't study
1117 00:53:25,500 - 00:53:28,230
study the trend and the wind that's
1118 00:53:28,230 - 00:53:31,070
necessary success has a lot to do with
1119 00:53:31,070 - 00:53:36,420
wind if Carlos Sanders came along today
1120 00:53:36,420 - 00:53:41,450
and started KFC today he'd go broke
1121 00:53:41,450 - 00:53:43,950
because today we're all worried about
1122 00:53:43,950 - 00:53:49,170
you know carbs and fat grams and all I'm
1123 00:53:49,170 - 00:53:55,230
a vegetarian we read little labels and
1124 00:53:55,230 - 00:53:57,750
all of their stuff but he started his
1125 00:53:57,750 - 00:53:59,670
business at the time that women had just
1126 00:53:59,670 - 00:54:02,430
gone to work and families were used to
1127 00:54:02,430 - 00:54:05,640
home-cooked meals his business solved
1128 00:54:05,640 - 00:54:06,570
the problem
1129 00:54:06,570 - 00:54:08,970
the stats say that people who go on the
1130 00:54:08,970 - 00:54:10,950
business because they want money are apt
1131 00:54:10,950 - 00:54:13,820
to go out of business 80% of the time
1132 00:54:13,820 - 00:54:16,140
people who go in the business who are
1133 00:54:16,140 - 00:54:18,180
successful don't want the business based
1134 00:54:18,180 - 00:54:20,040
on their needs they go on the business
1135 00:54:20,040 - 00:54:25,620
based on their customers need if your
1136 00:54:25,620 - 00:54:30,150
business or church or ministry solves a
1137 00:54:30,150 - 00:54:34,420
problem it requires less marketing
1138 00:54:34,420 - 00:54:36,700
you don't have to talk me into wanting
1139 00:54:36,700 - 00:54:40,540
something I need but when I don't need
1140 00:54:40,540 - 00:54:42,670
it you got to spend a whole lot of money
1141 00:54:42,670 - 00:54:45,310
talking me into subject so you want your
1142 00:54:45,310 - 00:54:49,420
business to be a solution in fact you
1143 00:54:49,420 - 00:54:53,380
want your life to be a solution nobody
1144 00:54:53,380 - 00:54:55,420
sends for a problem they only send for
1145 00:54:55,420 - 00:54:58,090
an answer if you're feeling lonely and
1146 00:54:58,090 - 00:55:00,070
you're feeling rejected figure out how
1147 00:55:00,070 - 00:55:01,690
you can be an answer to somebody's
1148 00:55:01,690 - 00:55:04,410
problem and they'll always invite you
1149 00:55:04,410 - 00:55:07,330
because people invite answers they've
1150 00:55:07,330 - 00:55:09,820
repelled problems so when you come in
1151 00:55:09,820 - 00:55:11,440
the room giving problems it is the most
1152 00:55:11,440 - 00:55:13,240
unsexy thing you can ever do in the
1153 00:55:13,240 - 00:55:16,660
world it's true somebody far less cute
1154 00:55:16,660 - 00:55:18,190
can get much further than you because
1155 00:55:18,190 - 00:55:21,030
they don't moan and groan in the brain
1156 00:55:21,030 - 00:55:23,380
really when people ask you how you're
1157 00:55:23,380 - 00:55:25,830
doing they don't really want an answer
1158 00:55:25,830 - 00:55:29,920
we're not serious don't say that well
1159 00:55:29,920 - 00:55:31,900
I'm doing fairly well but the Lea is
1160 00:55:31,900 - 00:55:33,670
hurting and my back is good having some
1161 00:55:33,670 - 00:55:36,100
time to time and when it rains my eye
1162 00:55:36,100 - 00:55:37,870
starts twitching I got a little pain
1163 00:55:37,870 - 00:55:39,730
going all right here it's driving me
1164 00:55:39,730 - 00:55:42,040
absolutely crazy and I just don't know
1165 00:55:42,040 - 00:55:43,450
what the world I'm gonna do cuz I got a
1166 00:55:43,450 - 00:55:45,480
thumb nail world over here just say
1167 00:55:45,480 - 00:55:47,470
that's why I didn't wear the shoes I
1168 00:55:47,470 - 00:55:51,400
want to wear with this bring solutions
1169 00:55:51,400 - 00:55:55,330
bring saline solution bring solutions as
1170 00:55:55,330 - 00:55:57,250
a person bring solutions as a business
1171 00:55:57,250 - 00:55:59,620
bring solutions as a ministry and you
1172 00:55:59,620 - 00:56:01,960
will always soar when's the first time
1173 00:56:01,960 - 00:56:07,060
you saw yourself as a solution I wrote
1174 00:56:07,060 - 00:56:10,600
one an hour loose and I didn't even know
1175 00:56:10,600 - 00:56:20,050
how to write 2020 somewhere in my
1176 00:56:20,050 - 00:56:24,640
twenties late twenties I wrote the book
1177 00:56:24,640 - 00:56:29,380
in a PC Study Bible no pain because I
1178 00:56:29,380 - 00:56:32,290
didn't know what a word processor was so
1179 00:56:32,290 - 00:56:34,570
this there was a friend of mine named
1180 00:56:34,570 - 00:56:36,550
sir Clifford Fraser who we were just
1181 00:56:36,550 - 00:56:38,530
getting into computers and stuff us old
1182 00:56:38,530 - 00:56:41,170
guys was getting 28 Oh guys we just
1183 00:56:41,170 - 00:56:44,650
getting into it and and he said why did
1184 00:56:44,650 - 00:56:47,170
you write all of this in a notepad he
1185 00:56:47,170 - 00:56:49,450
said it'd be so much better if you wrote
1186 00:56:49,450 - 00:56:51,850
it in a word processor I said what's
1187 00:56:51,850 - 00:56:56,220
that I had written almost the whole book
1188 00:56:56,220 - 00:57:00,760
in the notepad of a PC Study Bible so it
1189 00:57:00,760 - 00:57:04,180
wasn't that I was proficient it was that
1190 00:57:04,180 - 00:57:08,350
I had heard the cry of women who were
1191 00:57:08,350 - 00:57:11,890
hurting sexually and emotionally abuse
1192 00:57:11,890 - 00:57:14,530
who were hidden in our churches at that
1193 00:57:14,530 - 00:57:16,810
time and the church was ran by men who
1194 00:57:16,810 - 00:57:21,010
were deaf to the cry of the women and
1195 00:57:21,010 - 00:57:24,010
when I heard their cry I thought that
1196 00:57:24,010 - 00:57:26,760
there were biblical solutions to
1197 00:57:26,760 - 00:57:30,610
sociological and emotional issues and so
1198 00:57:30,610 - 00:57:33,580
I started trying to get him answer out
1199 00:57:33,580 - 00:57:36,400
and when I started teaching it it was a
1200 00:57:36,400 - 00:57:39,010
Sunday School class and more and more
1201 00:57:39,010 - 00:57:41,140
women came and more and more women came
1202 00:57:41,140 - 00:57:42,850
I didn't know what's gonna be a movement
1203 00:57:42,850 - 00:57:44,410
I didn't know it was gonna be a book I
1204 00:57:44,410 - 00:57:46,420
did it first as a Sunday School class
1205 00:57:46,420 - 00:57:47,890
and then I call Archie Denis and I
1206 00:57:47,890 - 00:57:49,090
thought Archie I'm teaching this class
1207 00:57:49,090 - 00:57:51,340
and people are going crazy over it I
1208 00:57:51,340 - 00:57:53,140
mean my church is fact that I just got
1209 00:57:53,140 - 00:57:59,290
like maybe 150 people 150 people meant
1210 00:57:59,290 - 00:58:01,230
some people were outside
1211 00:58:01,230 - 00:58:04,710
that's my bicycle shop
1212 00:58:04,710 - 00:58:06,869
never laugh at my best to the shop this
1213 00:58:06,869 - 00:58:08,780
fast not the day of small beginnings
1214 00:58:08,780 - 00:58:11,990
great things come out of small places a
1215 00:58:11,990 - 00:58:14,250
woman Art Loosed came out of that best
1216 00:58:14,250 - 00:58:15,690
at the shop okay
1217 00:58:15,690 - 00:58:17,339

and he says what do you call me and I
1229 00:58:36,960 - 00:58:41,130
thought I don't know I'm on the phone
1230 00:58:41,130 - 00:58:43,050
with him this is exactly the way it
1231 00:58:43,050 - 00:58:46,650
happened I said I don't know I guess
1232 00:58:46,650 - 00:58:48,119
I'll call a woman our losses for the
1233 00:58:48,119 - 00:58:49,819
Bible said I've called a woman our atlas
1234 00:58:49,819 - 00:58:52,470
he said okay so he announced that I was
1235 00:58:52,470 - 00:58:54,359
gonna teach woman I lose like that and
1236 00:58:54,359 - 00:58:56,369
so many women came they had to move it
1237 00:58:56,369 - 00:58:59,550
out of the church into the hotel so I
1238 00:58:59,550 - 00:59:02,069
took the CDs from the from the Sunday
1239 00:59:02,069 - 00:59:03,750
School class and put it with thee they
1240 00:59:03,750 - 00:59:05,550
were the cat sets at the time and put it
1241 00:59:05,550 - 00:59:07,920
with the cats as near the house and put
1242 00:59:07,920 - 00:59:10,109
it with the cats from Pittsburgh and I
1243 00:59:10,109 - 00:59:13,309
had a to tape series
1244 00:59:19,930 - 00:59:23,620
and when I got ready to do the book I
1245 00:59:23,620 - 00:59:26,180
can find a publisher that would do it I
1246 00:59:26,180 - 00:59:27,560
finally found a publisher that would
1247 00:59:27,560 - 00:59:29,960
take my tapes in and and transcribe it
1248 00:59:29,960 - 00:59:31,670
into a book but when I saw what they did
1249 00:59:31,670 - 00:59:36,260
with with my answer I got mad because it
1250 00:59:36,260 - 00:59:39,800
wasn't in my spirit they were saying
1251 00:59:39,800 - 00:59:41,480
what women ought to do is such a sense
1252 00:59:41,480 - 00:59:42,950
of what women are there I went that was
1253 00:59:42,950 - 00:59:44,710
not my spirit
1254 00:59:44,710 - 00:59:47,420
so I on a desperation to protect the
1255 00:59:47,420 - 00:59:51,310
integrity of my spirit I started pecking
1256 00:59:51,310 - 00:59:54,410
and pecking and pecking and pecking and
1257 00:59:54,410 - 00:59:57,070
nobody would publish what I was packing
1258 00:59:57,070 - 00:59:59,900
so I told my wife see I'm talking about
1259 00:59:59,900 - 01:00:03,020
things that would stop you okay nobody
1260 01:00:03,020 - 01:00:04,580
wants to publish it the first person who
1261 01:00:04,580 - 01:00:07,130
did it did it wrong and it round got all
1262 01:00:07,130 - 01:00:09,110
of this all of this stuff crammed in the
1263 01:00:09,110 - 01:00:10,910
species Study Bible and I'm trying to
1264 01:00:10,910 - 01:00:13,580
pull it out and put it in a word machine
1265 01:00:13,580 - 01:00:17,750
and and and I told my wife I said nobody
1266 01:00:17,750 - 01:00:20,240
wants to publish it and if I publish it
1267 01:00:20,240 - 01:00:27,110
myself they want $15,000 $15,000 all the
1268 01:00:27,110 - 01:00:30,530
money I had in the world we were saving
1269 01:00:30,530 - 01:00:33,410
that money to get our first house we
1270 01:00:33,410 - 01:00:36,650
didn't even own our house and I was
1271 01:00:36,650 - 01:00:39,950
trying to get us a house and I said
1272 01:00:39,950 - 01:00:42,170
Sarita I said I want to publish this
1273 01:00:42,170 - 01:00:45,620
book and it's coming that I have to
1274 01:00:45,620 - 01:00:48,650
drain our savings to do it she said
1275 01:00:48,650 - 01:00:51,250
that's okay
1276 01:00:51,839 - 01:00:55,690
and so she agreed and we took the 15
1277 01:00:55,690 - 01:00:59,680
thousand and we published the book and
1278 01:00:59,680 - 01:01:03,339
we got five thousand copies and I sold
1279 01:01:03,339 - 01:01:05,540
out in two weeks
1280 01:01:05,540 - 01:01:08,650
[Music]
1281 01:01:11,540 - 01:01:13,610
I think I'm finally a suit though I
1282 01:01:13,610 - 01:01:17,180
needed one the lining had come out of my
1283 01:01:17,180 - 01:01:19,790
suit cuz she was washing it in the
1284 01:01:19,790 - 01:01:22,550
washing machine because we couldn't
1285 01:01:22,550 - 01:01:25,730
afford to go to the cleaners so I didn't
1286 01:01:25,730 - 01:01:27,650
buy me a suit with it I took the money
1287 01:01:27,650 - 01:01:30,430
and put it back in the business and
1288 01:01:30,430 - 01:01:35,480
published another fax I had no idea that
1289 01:01:35,480 - 01:01:37,130
that book would end up selling over five
1290 01:01:37,130 - 01:01:45,560
million copies be translated into ten
1291 01:01:45,560 - 01:01:49,100
different languages he'd known to this
1292 01:01:49,100 - 01:01:51,590
day around the world in places I have
1293 01:01:51,590 - 01:01:54,590
never been and it all started in my
1294 01:01:54,590 - 01:01:58,310
little bicycle shop so when I talk to
1295 01:01:58,310 - 01:02:00,320
you about the Wright brothers soaring
1296 01:02:00,320 - 01:02:03,500
and catching the right wing I'm talking
1297 01:02:03,500 - 01:02:05,180
to you about things I love that happen
1298 01:02:05,180 - 01:02:08,060
in my own life I never let not having
1299 01:02:08,060 - 01:02:11,590
enough stop me from getting up
1300 01:02:11,630 - 01:02:14,820
[Music]
1301 01:02:16,210 - 01:02:19,940
when you mentioned it's not where you
1302 01:02:19,940 - 01:02:22,700
want to go it's what you give up to get
1303 01:02:22,700 - 01:02:26,420
there what have you given up to get
1304 01:02:26,420 - 01:02:28,010
where you are that people in the room
1305 01:02:28,010 - 01:02:31,880
might be surprised to know it reminds me
1306 01:02:31,880 - 01:02:33,890
of a statement that somebody asked
1307 01:02:33,890 - 01:02:35,240
Kathryn Kuhlman do y'all know who
1308 01:02:35,240 - 01:02:37,820
Kathryn Kuhlman in Kathryn Kuhlman was a
1309 01:02:37,820 - 01:02:39,260
woman preacher when women preachers
1310 01:02:39,260 - 01:02:41,990
weren't cool and she was preaching in
1311 01:02:41,990 - 01:02:43,880
California to some people who still are
1312 01:02:43,880 - 01:02:46,310
cool and she was preaching in California
1313 01:02:46,310 - 01:02:47,240
and preaching for Full Gospel

businessman Association she was
1315 01:02:48,980 - 01:02:49,670
traumatic
1316 01:02:49,670 - 01:02:58,790

of me I do movies so you don't know what

1319 01:03:04,670 - 01:03:07,490
did it cost to be who she was and she
1320 01:03:07,490 - 01:03:10,040
laughed she said simply everything
1321 01:03:10,040 - 01:03:14,000
darling simply everything that was so
1322 01:03:14,000 - 01:03:19,510
true when you started talking about I
1323 01:03:19,510 - 01:03:21,920
was walking through the airport when my
1324 01:03:21,920 - 01:03:24,800
ministry first started to explode I was
1325 01:03:24,800 - 01:03:28,970
so distracted by the explosion that I
1326 01:03:28,970 - 01:03:33,350
didn't see the damage an old preacher
1327 01:03:33,350 - 01:03:35,359
was coming through the airport an inch
1328 01:03:35,359 - 01:03:38,390
in Charlotte yeah it's just not
1329 01:03:38,390 - 01:03:41,600
available to Charlie is just there when
1330 01:03:41,600 - 01:03:43,310
you live in West Virginia if you wanted
1331 01:03:43,310 - 01:03:44,630
to go to heaven you there to go through
1332 01:03:44,630 - 01:03:46,730
Pittsburgh or Charlotte
1333 01:03:46,730 - 01:03:51,660
and I was at the Charlotte Airport and a
1334 01:03:51,660 - 01:03:53,100
bit so official walked up to me and he
1335 01:03:53,100 - 01:03:57,600
looked at me she said he said oh he said
1336 01:03:57,600 - 01:04:02,640
you've lost something he said you've
1337 01:04:02,640 - 01:04:04,650
lost something that you'll never be able
1338 01:04:04,650 - 01:04:11,150
to regain I said I said he said normalcy
1339 01:04:11,150 - 01:04:15,000
it took me about five years to unpack
1340 01:04:15,000 - 01:04:19,410
that simple conversation that you become
1341 01:04:19,410 - 01:04:21,630
a target by people who have never met
1342 01:04:21,630 - 01:04:25,650
you that they would say the most hideous
1343 01:04:25,650 - 01:04:29,400
things about you that your children
1344 01:04:29,400 - 01:04:32,370
would suffer from the things they wrote
1345 01:04:32,370 - 01:04:36,210
about you trying to get their points up
1346 01:04:36,210 - 01:04:38,130
in their their Nielsen ratings up that
1347 01:04:38,130 - 01:04:41,640
they would eat you for dinner and saved
1348 01:04:41,640 - 01:04:45,180
the story until sweeps month and drop it
1349 01:04:45,180 - 01:04:47,730
because you had a big audience so that
1350 01:04:47,730 - 01:04:50,250
they could get big ratings and that my
1351 01:04:50,250 - 01:04:52,860
kids would have to grow up in the middle
1352 01:04:52,860 - 01:04:56,760
of all of that I was distracted by the
1353 01:04:56,760 - 01:05:00,450
explosion but I would come to see the
1354 01:05:00,450 - 01:05:03,270
damage I would see it in the tears of my
1355 01:05:03,270 - 01:05:06,320
children the pregnancy of my daughter
1356 01:05:06,320 - 01:05:11,070
the pains of my son holding my wife in
1357 01:05:11,070 - 01:05:14,310
tears and I would hold her in tears and
1358 01:05:14,310 - 01:05:17,670
preach faith and go home and lay down in
1359 01:05:17,670 - 01:05:21,720
a bed of fear I said God where have you
1360 01:05:21,720 - 01:05:25,410
taken me I'm taking this war costume and
1361 01:05:25,410 - 01:05:29,270
I'll throw it in free tonight tonight
1362 01:05:30,180 - 01:05:31,980
i'ma tell y'all nobody else can hear
1363 01:05:31,980 - 01:05:33,329
this just hush I'll be y'all go keep it
1364 01:05:33,329 - 01:05:39,029
me he almost quit I'm a country boy I'm
1365 01:05:39,029 - 01:05:40,200
from West Virginia
1366 01:05:40,200 - 01:05:42,119
I don't know nothing about this big-time
1367 01:05:42,119 - 01:05:45,180
stuff I just I never even asked to be
1368 01:05:45,180 - 01:05:50,839
big I wanted to be effective not famous
1369 01:05:50,839 - 01:05:53,220
famous is the consequences of being
1370 01:05:53,220 - 01:05:56,010
effective and I didn't know nothing
1371 01:05:56,010 - 01:05:58,170
about being famous and I didn't like it
1372 01:05:58,170 - 01:06:01,440
and so there I was and when you first
1373 01:06:01,440 - 01:06:04,829
knew everybody attacks you first and
1374 01:06:04,829 - 01:06:09,150
figures you out later because though we
1375 01:06:09,150 - 01:06:11,430
say you're innocent until proven guilty
1376 01:06:11,430 - 01:06:13,680
the reality is you're really guilty till
1377 01:06:13,680 - 01:06:17,279
proven innocent II I didn't know that
1378 01:06:17,279 - 01:06:19,049
being M I was young up starting you have
1379 01:06:19,049 - 01:06:20,549
to understand that you looking at 60
1380 01:06:20,549 - 01:06:21,630
year old man but you're talking about
1381 01:06:21,630 - 01:06:23,099
something that's happening to a guy in
1382 01:06:23,099 - 01:06:28,200
his late 20s in little kids and the
1383 01:06:28,200 - 01:06:30,230
first time I was in The Washington Post
1384 01:06:30,230 - 01:06:33,510
the article was so vicious it made me
1385 01:06:33,510 - 01:06:34,349
nauseous
1386 01:06:34,349 - 01:06:37,230
I was so shocked that you could say that
1387 01:06:37,230 - 01:06:38,880
stuff about somebody you didn't even
1388 01:06:38,880 - 01:06:41,460
know based on assumptions and a little
1389 01:06:41,460 - 01:06:42,900
bit of this and a little bit of that big
1390 01:06:42,900 - 01:06:44,309
piece it all together and you don't get
1391 01:06:44,309 - 01:06:49,170
the same thing back so I decided I don't
1392 01:06:49,170 - 01:06:52,200
want this I was preaching from pastor
1393 01:06:52,200 - 01:06:54,569
Bishop Valley leaders and I was nobody
1394 01:06:54,569 - 01:06:56,940
Miller because preachers can override
1395 01:06:56,940 - 01:06:58,589
their feelings and function
1396 01:06:58,589 - 01:07:00,990
I had preached these places on fire but
1397 01:07:00,990 - 01:07:04,020
inside I want to quit I told God I'm
1398 01:07:04,020 - 01:07:05,700
through with this I'm not going through
1399 01:07:05,700 - 01:07:07,529
this I don't need this I don't see I
1400 01:07:07,529 - 01:07:10,920
don't need that I'm a guy who likes to
1401 01:07:10,920 - 01:07:13,140
go get his own chicken wings I don't
1402 01:07:13,140 - 01:07:15,839
have to have all of that stuff to be
1403 01:07:15,839 - 01:07:18,930
happy because I was raised with it I can
1404 01:07:18,930 - 01:07:20,849
make it you throw me an apartment right
1405 01:07:20,849 - 01:07:22,950
and Jimmy just says a little skill of a
1406 01:07:22,950 - 01:07:25,619
cast-iron skillet you know what I'm
1407 01:07:25,619 - 01:07:26,380
talking about
1408 01:07:26,380 - 01:07:36,370
it's a visa South okay so I'm not doing
1409 01:07:36,370 - 01:07:37,720
this no more I'm not doing it I'm not
1410 01:07:37,720 - 01:07:39,850
doing this I'm not doing this cuz I
1411 01:07:39,850 - 01:07:41,530
don't need this and I didn't ask for
1412 01:07:41,530 - 01:07:45,520
this I'm only doing this because of what
1413 01:07:45,520 - 01:07:47,200
happened in my life of the circumstances
1414 01:07:47,200 - 01:07:48,850
happening in my life he put me on stage
1415 01:07:48,850 - 01:07:50,050
I didn't ask for it
1416 01:07:50,050 - 01:07:52,510
and when I saw how much it costs I
1417 01:07:52,510 - 01:07:54,340
thought you have that right back here
1418 01:07:54,340 - 01:07:56,770
you have that right back up in here I
1419 01:07:56,770 - 01:07:59,350
don't need it so I was mad inside I was
1420 01:07:59,350 - 01:08:03,190
hurt and I stayed up in the fellowship
1421 01:08:03,190 - 01:08:04,810
with the pastors because I didn't want
1422 01:08:04,810 - 01:08:07,930
to go back to my room and sulk in my own
1423 01:08:07,930 - 01:08:11,170
sorrows and they said there's a lady
1424 01:08:11,170 - 01:08:12,880
downstairs waiting to see you the
1425 01:08:12,880 - 01:08:14,530
service was over and the fellowship was
1426 01:08:14,530 - 01:08:15,910
over the pastor's starting to leave I
1427 01:08:15,910 - 01:08:16,810
was trying out waiter
1428 01:08:16,810 - 01:08:20,050
I thought she'd give up and leave and
1429 01:08:20,050 - 01:08:22,930
when I finally came down the steps she
1430 01:08:22,930 - 01:08:25,359
was there and she was just a will and
1431 01:08:25,359 - 01:08:29,649
wee bit of a woman and she said Bishop
1432 01:08:29,649 - 01:08:35,050
Jake's she said I've been in the
1433 01:08:35,050 - 01:08:41,800
hospital she said I was pregnant in my
1434 01:08:41,800 - 01:08:46,600
fallopian tubes and the baby died in my
1435 01:08:46,600 - 01:08:49,720
tubes and I was carrying around a dead
1436 01:08:49,720 - 01:08:53,200
baby and the toxicity from the baby
1437 01:08:53,200 - 01:08:59,380
almost killed me and she said the only
1438 01:08:59,380 - 01:09:05,380
thing that kept me alive was hear you
1439 01:09:05,380 - 01:09:07,660
preach
1440 01:09:07,660 - 01:09:10,460
she said if you hadn't been preaching to
1441 01:09:10,460 - 01:09:17,240
me every day I swear I was bad and then
1442 01:09:17,240 - 01:09:22,810
she looked at me she said it's for us
1443 01:09:23,049 - 01:09:29,109
it's not for them it's for us
1444 01:09:29,109 - 01:09:34,520
it had me so hard I didn't even get her
1445 01:09:34,520 - 01:09:39,170
name I kind of a car and crying I'll be
1446 01:09:39,170 - 01:09:42,830
back to my room because she's remanded
1447 01:09:42,830 - 01:09:46,390
me why I was there
1448 01:10:00,420 - 01:10:03,529
[Music]
1449 01:10:05,770 - 01:10:09,310
I just left last week when I text you I
1450 01:10:09,310 - 01:10:12,760
was up in Baltimore in DC and I was
1451 01:10:12,760 - 01:10:15,550
doing a book signing and this one we
1452 01:10:15,550 - 01:10:19,330
came up to the table to Mysore she said
1453 01:10:19,330 - 01:10:23,500
you don't remember me to you I said no
1454 01:10:23,500 - 01:10:25,150
she didn't even look like to say first
1455 01:10:25,150 - 01:10:26,920
she's all dressed up it gained weight
1456 01:10:26,920 - 01:10:29,620
she said I would say she said I met you
1457 01:10:29,620 - 01:10:33,430
in the bottom Madonna means Church years
1458 01:10:33,430 - 01:10:38,770
ago and I burst into tears I lost it I
1459 01:10:38,770 - 01:10:42,780
stopped the sign and I jumped up another
1460 01:10:42,780 - 01:10:47,550
if it were not for that woman
1461 01:10:47,940 - 01:10:51,130
[Music]
1462 01:10:57,679 - 01:11:01,940
when you talk about what it costs I'm
1463 01:11:01,940 - 01:11:05,710
good my southern stuff Matt yeah
1464 01:11:06,429 - 01:11:11,270
simply everything what being a public
1465 01:11:11,270 - 01:11:12,890
figure does to you everybody has an
1466 01:11:12,890 - 01:11:14,540
opinion about everything what you wear
1467 01:11:14,540 - 01:11:17,420
whether you shave your hair or not what
1468 01:11:17,420 - 01:11:19,520
you look like you gain weight you're fat
1469 01:11:19,520 - 01:11:23,810
I mean they say anything to you and what
1470 01:11:23,810 - 01:11:26,960
has to happen to survive it you have to
1471 01:11:26,960 - 01:11:32,360
get tougher not leaner tougher tougher
1472 01:11:32,360 - 01:11:34,909
what's the difference mean it's when you
1473 01:11:34,909 - 01:11:37,850
lash back in because in a fight like
1474 01:11:37,850 - 01:11:45,949
that if God would turn me loose I could
1475 01:11:45,949 - 01:11:49,040
hold my own I could hold my own in a
1476 01:11:49,040 - 01:11:51,699
street fight
1477 01:12:03,080 - 01:12:07,570
you have to delete it cuz I swear I
1478 01:12:07,570 - 01:12:09,980
could put a little paint off the wall
1479 01:12:09,980 - 01:12:12,620
but you don't believe you should release
1480 01:12:12,620 - 01:12:21,890
a book things I almost tweeted but when
1481 01:12:21,890 - 01:12:25,430
I say tougher your resilience and your
1482 01:12:25,430 - 01:12:30,290
resistance to the irrelevance of things
1483 01:12:30,290 - 01:12:32,150
that have nothing to do with your
1484 01:12:32,150 - 01:12:37,550
destiny our satanic distraction yeah so
1485 01:12:37,550 - 01:12:40,190
move you away from where God has placed
1486 01:12:40,190 - 01:12:43,760
you and you can't be I did when I do a
1487 01:12:43,760 - 01:12:45,890
pastors conference and I still Q&A
1488 01:12:45,890 - 01:12:47,150
because I like to do clear night cuz I
1489 01:12:47,150 - 01:12:49,280
like to talk to you and then they start
1490 01:12:49,280 - 01:12:51,020
asking me questions and stuff generally
1491 01:12:51,020 - 01:12:52,370

something bad somebody who hurt him like
1495 01:12:56,270 - 01:12:59,260
that but when I'm talking to CEOs
1496 01:12:59,260 - 01:13:01,730
incredibly successful people when I'm
1497 01:13:01,730 - 01:13:04,310
talking the presidents and Kings from
1498 01:13:04,310 - 01:13:06,410
around the world I've sat across from
1499 01:13:06,410 - 01:13:08,660
and talked to when I get a chance to be
1500 01:13:08,660 - 01:13:10,190
in the room with executives and
1501 01:13:10,190 - 01:13:12,290
corporate executives and stars who name
1502 01:13:12,290 - 01:13:14,210
if I would listen here everybody would
1503 01:13:14,210 - 01:13:17,090
know them they're never talking about
1504 01:13:17,090 - 01:13:20,750
what people said because they have
1505 01:13:20,750 - 01:13:24,050
developed the toughness that is
1506 01:13:24,050 - 01:13:26,930
necessary to survive can I say one more
1507 01:13:26,930 - 01:13:28,400
thing real quick from say you say here a
1508 01:13:28,400 - 01:13:32,960
lot of more things see I took my son up
1509 01:13:32,960 - 01:13:38,270
to the Rock of Gibraltar my baby boy was
1510 01:13:38,270 - 01:13:42,590
with me and his mom and I took him to
1511 01:13:42,590 - 01:13:44,540
the Rock of Gibraltar because we were on
1512 01:13:44,540 - 01:13:47,210
our way to Africa and we stopped over in
1513 01:13:47,210 - 01:13:49,220
Spain went to the Rock of Gibraltar and
1514 01:13:49,220 - 01:13:51,710
the guide took us up to the top of the
1515 01:13:51,710 - 01:13:53,390
Rock of Gibraltar for all the battles
1516 01:13:53,390 - 01:13:56,330
were fought and all of the enclave's are
1517 01:13:56,330 - 01:13:59,150
filled with a outpost where you could
1518 01:13:59,150 - 01:14:02,060
defend the southernmost tip of Spain
1519 01:14:02,060 - 01:14:04,400
before he faces the northern tip of
1520 01:14:04,400 - 01:14:08,120
Africa and there as we went up spiraling
1521 01:14:08,120 - 01:14:10,460
up to the top of the mountain the higher
1522 01:14:10,460 - 01:14:11,250
you went
1523 01:14:11,250 - 01:14:13,350
or monkeys and they were jumping all
1524 01:14:13,350 - 01:14:15,090
over the cars and everything and the
1525 01:14:15,090 - 01:14:18,120
guide said to us he said you know in
1526 01:14:18,120 - 01:14:21,120
certain seasons it gets so cold up here
1527 01:14:21,120 - 01:14:23,100
that when the monkeys first migrated up
1528 01:14:23,100 - 01:14:26,430
here in the winter their tails would
1529 01:14:26,430 - 01:14:30,570
freeze off that's how cold it was he
1530 01:14:30,570 - 01:14:33,240
said but eventually when they started
1531 01:14:33,240 - 01:14:35,010
birthing their babies they were born
1532 01:14:35,010 - 01:14:39,450
without tails because they had adapted
1533 01:14:39,450 - 01:14:43,920
to their environment that's what I mean
1534 01:14:43,920 - 01:14:48,600
about toughness if you are exposed to it
1535 01:14:48,600 - 01:14:54,200
long enough you'll freeze your tail off
1536 01:14:55,800 - 01:14:59,029
[Music]
1537 01:15:00,620 - 01:15:07,070
it's amazing tweet that everybody so I
1538 01:15:07,070 - 01:15:09,790
got blessed as sore throats my tail off
1539 01:15:09,790 - 01:15:14,420
but if you to those of you however you
1540 01:15:14,420 - 01:15:18,680
define soaring and success successor you
1541 01:15:18,680 - 01:15:21,640
might be raising two great kids
1542 01:15:21,640 - 01:15:25,460
successful you might be open on the up a
1543 01:15:25,460 - 01:15:29,900
spa successful you might be opening up a
1544 01:15:29,900 - 01:15:31,880
home fun with mothers or it might be a
1545 01:15:31,880 - 01:15:37,430
corporate office on Wall Street if you
1546 01:15:37,430 - 01:15:41,780
don't freeze your tail off you won't be
1547 01:15:41,780 - 01:15:47,750
able to expand what success costs you
1548 01:15:47,750 - 01:15:53,570
have to free your tail off and I can
1549 01:15:53,570 - 01:15:55,520
tell that a lot of people are not ready
1550 01:15:55,520 - 01:15:56,180
CeCe
1551 01:15:56,180 - 01:15:57,920
when I first start writing this book I
1552 01:15:57,920 - 01:16:00,470
thought I was writing that
1553 01:16:00,470 - 01:16:02,540
entrepreneurship was about a business
1554 01:16:02,540 - 01:16:04,850
and a company and an address in a
1555 01:16:04,850 - 01:16:05,600
location
1556 01:16:05,600 - 01:16:07,940
and getting a building or facility or
1557 01:16:07,940 - 01:16:11,060
starting and Ecore from your laptop or
1558 01:16:11,060 - 01:16:14,150
something like that but when I got to
1559 01:16:14,150 - 01:16:15,890
write in it while I was right there not
1560 01:16:15,890 - 01:16:18,260
when I started I was right I realized it
1561 01:16:18,260 - 01:16:23,330
was a mindset it's a mindset it's it's
1562 01:16:23,330 - 01:16:25,220
it's it's it's the way you think about
1563 01:16:25,220 - 01:16:27,680
things that's it's it's taking
1564 01:16:27,680 - 01:16:29,330
controlling your destiny
1565 01:16:29,330 - 01:16:31,730
see if I come to work for you and I
1566 01:16:31,730 - 01:16:34,070
would if I come and work for you you
1567 01:16:34,070 - 01:16:39,400
bought it oh yeah I can teach your son
1568 01:16:39,699 - 01:16:47,060
yeah let you have the problem you can
1569 01:16:47,060 - 01:16:51,199
decide what you're gonna pay me as an
1570 01:16:51,199 - 01:16:54,469
employer to an employee but you can't
1571 01:16:54,469 - 01:16:59,690
decide how much I'm gonna make we have
1572 01:16:59,690 - 01:17:02,210
turned our income over into the hands of
1573 01:17:02,210 - 01:17:04,510
somebody who has no vision for our need
1574 01:17:04,510 - 01:17:05,460
[Music]
1575 01:17:05,460 - 01:17:06,969
[Applause]
1576 01:17:06,969 - 01:17:10,760
okay you can pay me whatever you think
1577 01:17:10,760 - 01:17:13,449
I'm whatever you think the job is worth
1578 01:17:13,449 - 01:17:15,889
but you can't pay me what I'm worth you
1579 01:17:15,889 - 01:17:19,849
can't afford me so I can have only these
1580 01:17:19,849 - 01:17:22,310
multiple streams of income to subsidize
1581 01:17:22,310 - 01:17:26,929
your limitations right because if I if I
1582 01:17:26,929 - 01:17:29,840
have an entrepreneurial spirit I am NOT
1583 01:17:29,840 - 01:17:32,480
limited like an eaglet - waiting for the
1584 01:17:32,480 - 01:17:35,320
mother bird to drop food in my mouth
1585 01:17:35,320 - 01:17:40,099
being an entrepreneur means that I have
1586 01:17:40,099 - 01:17:42,889
lifted up into the air and found my own
1587 01:17:42,889 - 01:17:45,139
wings you know I'm so glad you said that
1588 01:17:45,139 - 01:17:46,730
because I don't think you're talking
1589 01:17:46,730 - 01:17:48,770
about claiming our rights as much as
1590 01:17:48,770 - 01:17:51,139
taking responsibility for our own lives
1591 01:17:51,139 - 01:18:01,010
yes this is exactly how we talk on the
1592 01:18:01,010 - 01:18:05,030
phone most the time it sticks and he
1593 01:18:05,030 - 01:18:06,530
will take something that makes me get
1594 01:18:06,530 - 01:18:09,380
corporate tunnels trying to take back to
1595 01:18:09,380 - 01:18:11,449
me cuz it'll be just long exhausting
1596 01:18:11,449 - 01:18:13,369
book then I've got to send back to this
1597 01:18:13,369 - 01:18:16,040
answer because he he thinks so deep you
1598 01:18:16,040 - 01:18:17,960
can tell how deep a person thinks about
1599 01:18:17,960 - 01:18:19,969
how they talk he thinks so deep in this
1600 01:18:19,969 - 01:18:21,619
and so you're just over here just
1601 01:18:21,619 - 01:18:23,810
eavesdropping tonight on a conversation
1602 01:18:23,810 - 01:18:24,920
we would have whether you were there or
1603 01:18:24,920 - 01:18:27,699
not do you like
1604 01:18:30,320 - 01:18:33,320
the
1605 01:18:42,880 - 01:18:45,680
it's about taking control of outcomes
1606 01:18:45,680 - 01:18:48,260
it's about not allowing your destiny to
1607 01:18:48,260 - 01:18:49,880
be controlled by your circumstance or
1608 01:18:49,880 - 01:18:52,010
your situation it's about getting a
1609 01:18:52,010 - 01:18:53,840
vision for where you want to be as your
1610 01:18:53,840 - 01:18:55,550
life with your family with your children
1611 01:18:55,550 - 01:18:57,380
and setting a goal and dropping off
1612 01:18:57,380 - 01:18:58,940
things that are not relevant to where
1613 01:18:58,940 - 01:19:01,220
you and trying to go so that you can
1614 01:19:01,220 - 01:19:04,070
focus on what is necessary so that you
1615 01:19:04,070 - 01:19:06,680
can have some spoils to divide so that
1616 01:19:06,680 - 01:19:09,170
you can send your kids to a college so
1617 01:19:09,170 - 01:19:11,240
that you can figure out where you want
1618 01:19:11,240 - 01:19:13,250
to live when you're old and how you want
1619 01:19:13,250 - 01:19:17,030
to die this is not about diamonds and
1620 01:19:17,030 - 01:19:19,790
gold and Rolls Royces unless that's what
1621 01:19:19,790 - 01:19:22,130
your vision is this is about choosing
1622 01:19:22,130 - 01:19:23,960
where you want to go if it's a cottage
1623 01:19:23,960 - 01:19:25,880
in the hills of West Virginia in a log
1624 01:19:25,880 - 01:19:28,070
cabin and you want to die with chickens
1625 01:19:28,070 - 01:19:29,390
in your backyard that's your business
1626 01:19:29,390 - 01:19:32,480
it's all I see it's your business it's a
1627 01:19:32,480 - 01:19:35,030
business it's your thing do what you
1628 01:19:35,030 - 01:19:37,780
wanna do
1629 01:19:37,850 - 01:19:42,470
okay so so when you now whenever
1630 01:19:42,470 - 01:19:45,360
preachers start talking about anything
1631 01:19:45,360 - 01:19:49,080
other than preaching religious people
1632 01:19:49,080 - 01:19:59,340
just you know but let me tell you
1633 01:19:59,340 - 01:20:03,950
something the reason I must do this
1634 01:20:04,010 - 01:20:07,980
because I serve our people who have a
1635 01:20:07,980 - 01:20:10,560
prayer list full of things that God
1636 01:20:10,560 - 01:20:17,340
doesn't do half of the things they're
1637 01:20:17,340 - 01:20:20,160
asking God to do his tables and chairs
1638 01:20:20,160 - 01:20:26,340
and he does trees if if they could catch
1639 01:20:26,340 - 01:20:27,690
what I'm talking about
1640 01:20:27,690 - 01:20:29,280
we could go to praying about stuff that
1641 01:20:29,280 - 01:20:32,340
really matters yeah about the kingdoms
1642 01:20:32,340 - 01:20:34,110
of this world becoming the kingdoms of
1643 01:20:34,110 - 01:20:36,330
our God another's Christ we can start
1644 01:20:36,330 - 01:20:37,860
praying about North Korea and what's
1645 01:20:37,860 - 01:20:39,960
going on over there in the middle Z we
1646 01:20:39,960 - 01:20:40,980
can start praying about things that
1647 01:20:40,980 - 01:20:42,900
would change the world about cleaning up
1648 01:20:42,900 - 01:20:44,700
the air and cleaning up the water and
1649 01:20:44,700 - 01:20:46,350
leaving this planet better than we found
1650 01:20:46,350 - 01:20:48,270
it we can start praying about things
1651 01:20:48,270 - 01:20:50,160
that will change the world the way we
1652 01:20:50,160 - 01:20:51,990
interact with people we can start
1653 01:20:51,990 - 01:20:53,850
praying about things that brought black
1654 01:20:53,850 - 01:20:56,010
out of people's lawns and delivered them
1655 01:20:56,010 - 01:20:57,530
and set them free
1656 01:20:57,530 - 01:21:00,679
- recall skate I'm trying to play it
1657 01:21:00,679 - 01:21:03,530
about with and house payments and car
1658 01:21:03,530 - 01:21:06,440
payments and school meals and college
1659 01:21:06,440 - 01:21:12,610
tuition doesn't do that you do that
1660 01:21:16,929 - 01:21:19,929
masu
1661 01:21:22,630 - 01:21:26,460
Red's awareness time to soar
1662 01:21:26,460 - 01:21:30,440
it's time to show
1663 01:21:30,440 - 01:21:34,670
I believe I can touch the sky
1664 01:21:34,670 - 01:21:37,670
Oh sweetie think about it every night
1665 01:21:37,670 - 01:21:44,980
and day spread my wings and fly away
1666 01:21:44,980 - 01:21:48,020
we're gonna give trouble how to leave a
1667 01:21:48,020 - 01:21:53,300
can couple to go overboard
1668 01:21:53,300 - 01:21:57,980
you got an open door and having arrived
1669 01:21:57,980 - 01:22:01,520
do you really
1670 01:22:17,880 - 01:22:21,650
they're absolutely the most time ago
1671 01:22:21,650 - 01:22:24,570
yeah well I was gonna say I don't know I
1672 01:22:24,570 - 01:22:26,190
don't know what your schedule is like I
1673 01:22:26,190 - 01:22:27,240
don't want you to become an entrepreneur
1674 01:22:27,240 - 01:22:30,720
by accident by staying too late missing
1675 01:22:30,720 - 01:22:32,550
work and then needing to start your own
1676 01:22:32,550 - 01:22:34,670
company
1677 01:22:34,700 - 01:22:38,430
but but no I feel like one thing I
1678 01:22:38,430 - 01:22:40,890
really wanted to make sure that you that
1679 01:22:40,890 - 01:22:42,900
you talked about is the cost of
1680 01:22:42,900 - 01:22:47,460
hesitation because this is a this is a
1681 01:22:47,460 - 01:22:53,190
very tactical book oh you're saying we
1682 01:22:53,190 - 01:22:54,540
won't be much longer and we want to
1683 01:22:54,540 - 01:22:56,520
thank again everybody who's online and
1684 01:22:56,520 - 01:22:58,050
want to encourage everybody to get the
1685 01:22:58,050 - 01:22:59,430
book because I think you'd be surprised
1686 01:22:59,430 - 01:23:02,790
how you know Bishop Jake's is a ninja
1687 01:23:02,790 - 01:23:06,600
and so it's from laughing about Oreos
1688 01:23:06,600 - 01:23:13,020
and I even brought some Oreos yeah
1689 01:23:13,020 - 01:23:16,040
because there's
1690 01:23:16,550 - 01:23:20,209
[Music]
1691 01:23:20,599 - 01:23:23,920
when you win
1692 01:23:26,040 - 01:23:29,530
but you know there's there's the example
1693 01:23:29,530 - 01:23:33,700
of innovation you talk about them I love
1694 01:23:33,700 - 01:23:35,800
this line innovation isn't just changing
1695 01:23:35,800 - 01:23:37,230
the flavor it's changing the form
1696 01:23:37,230 - 01:23:38,620
whatever
1697 01:23:38,620 - 01:23:41,860
that's so good just say stuff like that
1698 01:23:41,860 - 01:23:43,990
like that would take me 30 more years to
1699 01:23:43,990 - 01:23:48,180
think of that line and it's just as whoa
1700 01:23:48,180 - 01:23:50,260
but-but-but what I wanted to mention is
1701 01:23:50,260 - 01:23:53,350
these are so many tools
1702 01:23:53,350 - 01:23:55,480
it's very tactical on one level very
1703 01:23:55,480 - 01:23:57,970
inspirational a lot of great inspiring
1704 01:23:57,970 - 01:24:00,880
prose and then get into some things that
1705 01:24:00,880 - 01:24:03,790
will really help you to do it in real
1706 01:24:03,790 - 01:24:05,980
life and not just you know yeah I was
1707 01:24:05,980 - 01:24:08,260
thinking Jonas plans I wanted to get
1708 01:24:08,260 - 01:24:12,400
into grants and foundations and concepts
1709 01:24:12,400 - 01:24:14,950
and real meaty stuff that I don't get to
1710 01:24:14,950 - 01:24:16,420
get into and suddenly it's all in here
1711 01:24:16,420 - 01:24:18,730
yes it's in there it's in the because
1712 01:24:18,730 - 01:24:20,650
because because this is something that
1713 01:24:20,650 - 01:24:22,300
we do in church that I think is
1714 01:24:22,300 - 01:24:26,950
dangerous we inspire people right every
1715 01:24:26,950 - 01:24:30,070
Sunday morning trying to we inspire them
1716 01:24:30,070 - 01:24:32,320
everything I see you doing don't front
1717 01:24:32,320 - 01:24:36,370
it with a lot of it but if we inspire
1718 01:24:36,370 - 01:24:40,080
people we don't inform them for Monday
1719 01:24:40,080 - 01:24:42,610
then they'll just come on Sunday to get
1720 01:24:42,610 - 01:24:44,850
high
1721 01:24:45,639 - 01:24:51,170
okay and I thought on me a way to get
1722 01:24:51,170 - 01:24:53,209
beyond preaching everything's gonna be
1723 01:24:53,209 - 01:24:55,159
alright it's gonna be alright
1724 01:24:55,159 - 01:24:57,289
every Sunday it's gonna be alright it's
1725 01:24:57,289 - 01:24:59,090
gonna be alright and show you how to
1726 01:24:59,090 - 01:25:02,119
make it alright show you how to make it
1727 01:25:02,119 - 01:25:04,459
alright yeah you talked about the cost
1728 01:25:04,459 - 01:25:10,749
of hesitation you can't understand
1729 01:25:10,749 - 01:25:13,849
hesitation if you don't understand
1730 01:25:13,849 - 01:25:17,570
rhythm I thought I never thought I was
1731 01:25:17,570 - 01:25:18,920
gonna be a preacher I was gonna be a
1732 01:25:18,920 - 01:25:20,179
musician I started playing the piano
1733 01:25:20,179 - 01:25:21,920
it's hard for us to believe that you
1734 01:25:21,920 - 01:25:23,780
never thought you'd be if I did and then
1735 01:25:23,780 - 01:25:25,280
one time you said that you didn't ever
1736 01:25:25,280 - 01:25:28,190
felt like you were a good preacher Lord
1737 01:25:28,190 - 01:25:30,110
no that's why I preached so hard cuz I
1738 01:25:30,110 - 01:25:31,489
didn't think I was very good I said well
1739 01:25:31,489 - 01:25:37,070
at least be our that made me cry when I
1740 01:25:37,070 - 01:25:38,659
heard you say that by the way I feel who
1741 01:25:38,659 - 01:25:44,269
are gifted cannot see see I can see him
1742 01:25:44,269 - 01:25:46,969
I can see you I can see the lights I can
1743 01:25:46,969 - 01:25:48,739
see the carpet I can see the table I can
1744 01:25:48,739 - 01:25:50,780
see the world the only thing I cannot
1745 01:25:50,780 - 01:25:55,789
see in the room is me and when you are
1746 01:25:55,789 - 01:25:57,650
gifted you are when you are truly gifted
1747 01:25:57,650 - 01:26:01,039
you are blind to yourself so it makes
1748 01:26:01,039 - 01:26:03,380
you ask questions like who do men say
1749 01:26:03,380 - 01:26:05,960
that I am
1750 01:26:05,960 - 01:26:08,489
you're vulnerable to the voices around
1751 01:26:08,489 - 01:26:10,110
you you have to be careful who you have
1752 01:26:10,110 - 01:26:12,810
around you because you you can walk off
1753 01:26:12,810 - 01:26:14,400
the stage and want to slit your wrists
1754 01:26:14,400 - 01:26:16,170
because you can't see whether you had
1755 01:26:16,170 - 01:26:19,620
any effect at all that's the truth and
1756 01:26:19,620 - 01:26:21,210
be careful who you have around you
1757 01:26:21,210 - 01:26:22,830
because they reflect they become a
1758 01:26:22,830 - 01:26:26,160
mirror and if the person around you has
1759 01:26:26,160 - 01:26:28,200
an agenda they'll distort the image of
1760 01:26:28,200 - 01:26:35,910
who you are anyway so I was thinking you
1761 01:26:35,910 - 01:26:40,370
know this this watching at home it's
1762 01:26:40,370 - 01:26:46,230
turning around and around the time it's
1763 01:26:46,230 - 01:26:49,440
imitating the solar system because
1764 01:26:49,440 - 01:26:52,110
everything is turning we don't feel it
1765 01:26:52,110 - 01:26:54,600
but the earth is turning it's moving
1766 01:26:54,600 - 01:26:58,050
around the Sun is fluid everything's
1767 01:26:58,050 - 01:27:01,920
moving everything is moving when I went
1768 01:27:01,920 - 01:27:04,440
to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem the
1769 01:27:04,440 - 01:27:06,300
rabbi's stood at the Wailing Wall and
1770 01:27:06,300 - 01:27:09,060
they were rocking back and forth because
1771 01:27:09,060 - 01:27:11,790
they understood that in order to reach
1772 01:27:11,790 - 01:27:13,640
God it's a symbol of understanding
1773 01:27:13,640 - 01:27:16,980
movement that that blood is moving
1774 01:27:16,980 - 01:27:18,480
through my body while I'm sitting here
1775 01:27:18,480 - 01:27:20,610
it's moving it's moving it's moving if I
1776 01:27:20,610 - 01:27:23,520
have an emergency they feel my pulse of
1777 01:27:23,520 - 01:27:25,620
pulses a rhythm a rhythm a rhythm
1778 01:27:25,620 - 01:27:27,180
everything is a beat as a rhythm as a
1779 01:27:27,180 - 01:27:29,070
rhythm and the rhythm who determines
1780 01:27:29,070 - 01:27:31,920
days and evenings and seasons and Suns
1781 01:27:31,920 - 01:27:32,700
it's a rhythm
1782 01:27:32,700 - 01:27:35,280
it's a rhythm it's a rhythm everything
1783 01:27:35,280 - 01:27:38,070
is a rhythm and when Christ came he came
1784 01:27:38,070 - 01:27:47,670
in rhythm and the fullness of time in
1785 01:27:47,670 - 01:27:50,070
the fullness of time he comes in a
1786 01:27:50,070 - 01:27:53,430
rhythm everything is done in a rhythm so
1787 01:27:53,430 - 01:27:56,460
God says the day you hear my voice do it
1788 01:27:56,460 - 01:27:58,700
in the rhythm heart not your heart
1789 01:27:58,700 - 01:28:01,230
because there is no guarantee that you
1790 01:28:01,230 - 01:28:04,580
can do later what you can do today
1791 01:28:05,780 - 01:28:09,270
you got to do it in a rhythm you got to
1792 01:28:09,270 - 01:28:13,800
do it in a rhythm when you hesitate you
1793 01:28:13,800 - 01:28:18,030
break the rhythm it's the same thing
1794 01:28:18,030 - 01:28:19,710
that a nurse is feeling for when she
1795 01:28:19,710 - 01:28:20,550
grabs your wrist
1796 01:28:20,550 - 01:28:23,369
she's checking the rhythm the rhythm is
1797 01:28:23,369 - 01:28:26,909
a sign of your health it's the rhythm is
1798 01:28:26,909 - 01:28:30,570
off the heart is off if the heart is off
1799 01:28:30,570 - 01:28:32,670
beat bad enough they have to do
1800 01:28:32,670 - 01:28:34,320
something to it to get it back to its
1801 01:28:34,320 - 01:28:36,840
rhythm because it being out of rhythm
1802 01:28:36,840 - 01:28:39,449
affects everything else in the body if
1803 01:28:39,449 - 01:28:41,639
we didn't have our children when we had
1804 01:28:41,639 - 01:28:43,020
our children at the time we had our
1805 01:28:43,020 - 01:28:44,639
children we would have broke the rhythm
1806 01:28:44,639 - 01:28:47,030
everything has to be done in a rhythm
1807 01:28:47,030 - 01:28:49,590
business has to be done in a rhythm a
1808 01:28:49,590 - 01:28:53,010
woman's body operates in a rhythm before
1809 01:28:53,010 - 01:28:54,719
we had all of this fancy stuff people
1810 01:28:54,719 - 01:28:56,909
controlled Chalmers by rhythms and
1811 01:28:56,909 - 01:28:58,980
cycles and systems and that's why the
1812 01:28:58,980 - 01:29:01,520
woman is so akin to the heart of God
1813 01:29:01,520 - 01:29:05,340
because she has cycles and cycles are
1814 01:29:05,340 - 01:29:07,590
systems and cycles reflect the universe
1815 01:29:07,590 - 01:29:09,719
and God is a God of rhythm and
1816 01:29:09,719 - 01:29:11,969
everything so when God said let there be
1817 01:29:11,969 - 01:29:14,190
everything start beating and beating and
1818 01:29:14,190 - 01:29:17,070
beating in a rhythm God has got a rhythm
1819 01:29:17,070 - 01:29:18,780
and if you're gonna walk with God you
1820 01:29:18,780 - 01:29:20,880
have to get rhythm and when you hesitate
1821 01:29:20,880 - 01:29:27,440
you break the rhythm what I'm saying
1822 01:29:28,510 - 01:29:33,020
there is nothing worse than dancing with
1823 01:29:33,020 - 01:29:35,960
somebody who don't have rhythm there's
1824 01:29:35,960 - 01:29:38,600
nothing worth it makes you wanna back
1825 01:29:38,600 - 01:29:42,170
off the stage what about my says it
1826 01:29:42,170 - 01:29:43,840
looks like they're dancin to the words
1827 01:29:43,840 - 01:29:48,739
not the beat ha ha ha the beat the beat
1828 01:29:48,739 - 01:29:53,570
to beat the beat the beat the beat the
1829 01:29:53,570 - 01:29:58,010
beat the beat the beat the beat so Pete
1830 01:29:58,010 - 01:30:04,239
- Pete - Pete - Pete - Pete Pete Pete
1831 01:30:04,239 - 01:30:07,239
Pete
1832 01:30:07,530 - 01:30:15,020
[Music]
1833 01:30:17,600 - 01:30:23,400
you break the rhythm and what would have
1834 01:30:23,400 - 01:30:33,210
flowed is now off the enemy comes to
1835 01:30:33,210 - 01:30:37,880
break the rhythm so when you talk about
1836 01:30:37,880 - 01:30:40,320
hesitation you're really talking about
1837 01:30:40,320 - 01:30:44,780
Satan because he's a rhythm breaker
1838 01:30:44,780 - 01:30:47,900
he can't stop God from gifting you
1839 01:30:47,900 - 01:30:52,140
calling you blessing you he cannot he
1840 01:30:52,140 - 01:30:55,020
cannot even curse you because God has
1841 01:30:55,020 - 01:30:58,650
blessed you the only way he can sabotage
1842 01:30:58,650 - 01:31:08,090
you is to get you to break the rhythm
1843 01:31:08,090 - 01:31:10,380
when you do break the rhythm you have to
1844 01:31:10,380 - 01:31:15,030
repent you have to repent not just
1845 01:31:15,030 - 01:31:16,770
because of sin you have to repent
1846 01:31:16,770 - 01:31:19,380
because you miss the rhythm to do the
1847 01:31:19,380 - 01:31:22,110
right thing I'll show it to you this way
1848 01:31:22,110 - 01:31:26,310
yeah Samuel lays down on the bed and he
1849 01:31:26,310 - 01:31:31,170
says and his voice say Samuel and he
1850 01:31:31,170 - 01:31:33,420
gets up and runs to Eli he said did you
1851 01:31:33,420 - 01:31:35,070
call me Eli says I called Li not lay
1852 01:31:35,070 - 01:31:36,770
down and give me ladies time again
1853 01:31:36,770 - 01:31:41,610
Samuel he goes Eli didn't call it the
1854 01:31:41,610 - 01:31:45,270
third time Eli perceived that the Lord
1855 01:31:45,270 - 01:31:49,340
has called he has missed the rhythm
1856 01:31:49,340 - 01:31:53,820
three times he says but this time when
1857 01:31:53,820 - 01:31:59,280
you lay down say to him God if you call
1858 01:31:59,280 - 01:32:03,010
me again I'm ready
1859 01:32:03,010 - 01:32:05,570
somebody in here you've missed the
1860 01:32:05,570 - 01:32:08,660
rhythm there are some things that should
1861 01:32:08,660 - 01:32:10,520
have happened five years ten years three
1862 01:32:10,520 - 01:32:14,210
years six months ago do you hear what
1863 01:32:14,210 - 01:32:16,700
I'm saying to you but all hope is not
1864 01:32:16,700 - 01:32:21,970
lost go back it laid out again
1865 01:32:25,280 - 01:32:29,290
and say if you called me again
1866 01:32:30,370 - 01:32:33,850
if you just give me one more chance I
1867 01:32:33,850 - 01:32:37,490
will go to slash I will go to Eli I
1868 01:32:37,490 - 01:32:40,010
won't go to humanity I will go to my
1869 01:32:40,010 - 01:32:43,580
fear or my doubts or my shame if you
1870 01:32:43,580 - 01:32:46,670
just called me again give me one more
1871 01:32:46,670 - 01:32:47,660
chance
1872 01:32:47,660 - 01:32:50,860
this time Lord
1873 01:32:52,810 - 01:32:55,949
[Music]
1874 01:32:59,230 - 01:33:03,580
there is a timing factor on everything
1875 01:33:03,580 - 01:33:06,940
and every time we break a rhythm it has
1876 01:33:06,940 - 01:33:09,790
consequences can I show you one thing is
1877 01:33:09,790 - 01:33:11,410
it kind of shocking but imma fill it out
1878 01:33:11,410 - 01:33:16,150
here God did not intend for us to
1879 01:33:16,150 - 01:33:21,150
reproduce in our old age children
1880 01:33:21,150 - 01:33:23,380
because he wanted us to be here long
1881 01:33:23,380 - 01:33:27,700
enough to take care of them so when God
1882 01:33:27,700 - 01:33:31,420
gets ready to shut down the factory he's
1883 01:33:31,420 - 01:33:33,310
shutting down the factory so that the
1884 01:33:33,310 - 01:33:37,510
child will not be uncovered now through
1885 01:33:37,510 - 01:33:40,510
medicine we have jimmied the lock and
1886 01:33:40,510 - 01:33:44,170
broke the rhythm so that you can be an
1887 01:33:44,170 - 01:33:46,480
80 year old man and have a 2 year old
1888 01:33:46,480 - 01:33:50,140
son now you might have a lot of fun but
1889 01:33:50,140 - 01:33:52,090
it breaking the rhythm the son pays the
1890 01:33:52,090 - 01:33:56,530
consequence because by the time he
1891 01:33:56,530 - 01:34:01,930
figures out what to ask you that's the
1892 01:34:01,930 - 01:34:03,610
problem with rhythm it's not just about
1893 01:34:03,610 - 01:34:06,850
you everything else is dependent on the
1894 01:34:06,850 - 01:34:10,180
beats everything around you is affected
1895 01:34:10,180 - 01:34:12,550
by the beat and even though you can
1896 01:34:12,550 - 01:34:14,560
create things that will break the rhythm
1897 01:34:14,560 - 01:34:18,790
for your own pleasure in so doing you
1898 01:34:18,790 - 01:34:21,370
run the risk of creating someone else's
1899 01:34:21,370 - 01:34:25,120
calamity because the rhythm was
1900 01:34:25,120 - 01:34:27,580
developed so that everything starts at a
1901 01:34:27,580 - 01:34:30,190
certain time everything goes down at a
1902 01:34:30,190 - 01:34:32,440
certain time because God is not just
1903 01:34:32,440 - 01:34:38,560
looking at you he's it's for us it's for
1904 01:34:38,560 - 01:34:42,040
us when God gives you your next
1905 01:34:42,040 - 01:34:46,350
opportunity move
1906 01:34:52,590 - 01:34:55,570
if the woman with the issue of blood had
1907 01:34:55,570 - 01:34:59,130
hesitated she would have bled to death
1908 01:34:59,130 - 01:35:02,920
because Jesus was not coming to her he
1909 01:35:02,920 - 01:35:05,950
was passing by rhythm rhythm rhythm
1910 01:35:05,950 - 01:35:08,680
rhythm rhythm and she says if I could
1911 01:35:08,680 - 01:35:11,290
just catch the beat if I could just stop
1912 01:35:11,290 - 01:35:13,300
weak but if I could just if I could just
1913 01:35:13,300 - 01:35:15,400
kiss the beat it's gonna take all of my
1914 01:35:15,400 - 01:35:16,750
strength to get there but I gotta catch
1915 01:35:16,750 - 01:35:18,670
you cuz he's not breaking his rhythm
1916 01:35:18,670 - 01:35:20,920
he's not breaking his rhythm he's still
1917 01:35:20,920 - 01:35:23,080
moving I got to catch his rhythm so she
1918 01:35:23,080 - 01:35:25,570
had to crawl to catch his rhythm she
1919 01:35:25,570 - 01:35:27,250
said but if I can just catch his rhythm
1920 01:35:27,250 - 01:35:29,620
the miracle is in the rhythm and so she
1921 01:35:29,620 - 01:35:31,390
had to crawl it about says she pressed
1922 01:35:31,390 - 01:35:33,550
her way and the way she did even got up
1923 01:35:33,550 - 01:35:35,080
to speed and said she kept encouraging
1924 01:35:35,080 - 01:35:39,340
herself if I could just touch if I could
1925 01:35:39,340 - 01:35:41,020
just touch if I could just touch this
1926 01:35:41,020 - 01:35:43,630
rhythm I'll be made whole by Bartimaeus
1927 01:35:43,630 - 01:35:45,550
was sitting by the holiday side baby
1928 01:35:45,550 - 01:35:48,300
let me stop
1929 01:35:51,420 - 01:35:53,530
there is one thing I know we're running
1930 01:35:53,530 - 01:35:59,070
out of time but I want they said no no I
1931 01:35:59,070 - 01:36:03,520
was on a flight they got stuck on the
1932 01:36:03,520 - 01:36:10,570
runway and I tell you we said on the
1933 01:36:10,570 - 01:36:14,410
runway so long that it took all the
1934 01:36:14,410 - 01:36:17,610
scriptures I could think of
1935 01:36:20,909 - 01:36:26,870
not I tried to talk to myself
1936 01:36:26,989 - 01:36:30,140
I said you were sitting at the house and
1937 01:36:30,140 - 01:36:32,360
then you got in the car you were sitting
1938 01:36:32,360 - 01:36:35,150
in the car and they drove me to the
1939 01:36:35,150 - 01:36:36,110
airport and he was sitting in the
1940 01:36:36,110 - 01:36:38,930
airport and now he's sitting on the
1941 01:36:38,930 - 01:36:43,640
plane why are you so irritated you're
1942 01:36:43,640 - 01:36:49,940
gonna sit anyway and I said when you if
1943 01:36:49,940 - 01:36:51,650
the plane were to take off he'll be
1944 01:36:51,650 - 01:36:52,910
sitting and when you landed
1945 01:36:52,910 - 01:36:54,680
you'd go get in the car so you can sit
1946 01:36:54,680 - 01:36:56,360
and you get me kind of sitting the car
1947 01:36:56,360 - 01:36:59,060
so you go to the hotel and sit so what
1948 01:36:59,060 - 01:37:05,330
are you mad about I think my frustration
1949 01:37:05,330 - 01:37:11,200
was I was sitting in a place of movement
1950 01:37:16,130 - 01:37:23,900
the agony of life is to sit in a place
1951 01:37:23,900 - 01:37:28,740
of movement you spoke a hesitation but
1952 01:37:28,740 - 01:37:30,390
the word that leaped in my spirit that I
1953 01:37:30,390 - 01:37:32,430
wanted to leave with you is frustration
1954 01:37:32,430 - 01:37:36,690
I think that there are people in this
1955 01:37:36,690 - 01:37:41,970
room yeah who are frustrated yeah and
1956 01:37:41,970 - 01:37:44,640
you try to make yourself feel content
1957 01:37:44,640 - 01:37:46,350
and you feel guilty that you're not
1958 01:37:46,350 - 01:37:48,000
content and you say that I ought to be
1959 01:37:48,000 - 01:37:51,390
thankful for what I have and like me
1960 01:37:51,390 - 01:37:54,930
you're trying to use rationale to put up
1961 01:37:54,930 - 01:37:57,600
with the situation that you're not
1962 01:37:57,600 - 01:38:02,310
called to and what keeps needling you is
1963 01:38:02,310 - 01:38:08,700
I belong I belong up there and yet I'm
1964 01:38:08,700 - 01:38:15,420
stuck right here and there you are in a
1965 01:38:15,420 - 01:38:18,420
place of movement watching other people
1966 01:38:18,420 - 01:38:20,309
take off
1967 01:38:20,309 - 01:38:25,460
and wondered what in the world is wrong
1968 01:38:25,460 - 01:38:28,980
and you ring the bell and say what
1969 01:38:28,980 - 01:38:37,559
excuse me we've been sitting
1970 01:38:37,559 - 01:38:42,750
we are the peanuts they don't have no
1971 01:38:42,750 - 01:38:45,329
more Diet Coke in it the potato chips
1972 01:38:45,329 - 01:38:53,219
are stale can we go that frustration is
1973 01:38:53,219 - 01:38:58,289
God nudging you that he has placed you
1974 01:38:58,289 - 01:39:01,920
in a position of movement and if you are
1975 01:39:01,920 - 01:39:07,559
not moving something is broken and I
1976 01:39:07,559 - 01:39:09,840
want you to understand this there are
1977 01:39:09,840 - 01:39:13,309
people who stay on the ground and
1978 01:39:13,309 - 01:39:16,889
they're happy to be there because they
1979 01:39:16,889 - 01:39:20,789
never imagined themselves in the air but
1980 01:39:20,789 - 01:39:30,449
you are not one of them you go to the
1981 01:39:30,449 - 01:39:34,320
airport with people who love you but
1982 01:39:34,320 - 01:39:36,030
when you get to the checkout point they
1983 01:39:36,030 - 01:39:37,650
can't go beyond it because if you don't
1984 01:39:37,650 - 01:39:39,150
have a ticket you can't go beyond that
1985 01:39:39,150 - 01:39:42,329
point some folks you have to leave
1986 01:39:42,329 - 01:39:45,690
behind that you love because they have
1987 01:39:45,690 - 01:39:48,800
not paid the price to go
1988 01:39:48,800 - 01:39:55,040
to the next dimension yunso mercy don't
1989 01:39:55,040 - 01:39:59,030
you get on the one-way now and get stuck
1990 01:39:59,030 - 01:40:02,420
on the runway and tell yourself it's all
1991 01:40:02,420 - 01:40:06,409
right it's not all right because you
1992 01:40:06,409 - 01:40:12,429
belong in the air whatever there he is
1993 01:40:12,429 - 01:40:17,210
and I want it to right you know when you
1994 01:40:17,210 - 01:40:19,429
get about my age you get all nostalgic
1995 01:40:19,429 - 01:40:21,079
and stuff and you want to leave
1996 01:40:21,079 - 01:40:23,719
something behind that matters I didn't
1997 01:40:23,719 - 01:40:25,760
want to be one of those people who flew
1998 01:40:25,760 - 01:40:30,290
and never taught flight most of the
1999 01:40:30,290 - 01:40:31,969
people I've seen who ever did anything
2000 01:40:31,969 - 01:40:36,110
never told anybody how they did it and I
2001 01:40:36,110 - 01:40:38,540
thought I said I got here by God's grace
2002 01:40:38,540 - 01:40:40,730
I promised him everything you teach me
2003 01:40:40,730 - 01:40:43,130
I'll teach you everything he showed me
2004 01:40:43,130 - 01:40:45,770
I'll show it everything I learned I'll
2005 01:40:45,770 - 01:40:49,670
pass on to somebody else there's
2006 01:40:49,670 - 01:40:52,730
somebody watching on the campus or
2007 01:40:52,730 - 01:40:54,559
streaming or sitting in the balcony or
2008 01:40:54,559 - 01:40:56,360
sitting out here in front of me right
2009 01:40:56,360 - 01:41:03,550
now you got a dream you got a vision I
2010 01:41:03,550 - 01:41:06,969
won't like to ISKCON cost you everything
2011 01:41:06,969 - 01:41:09,380
you all hurt in places you didn't know
2012 01:41:09,380 - 01:41:11,900
you could hurt and you have a thousand
2013 01:41:11,900 - 01:41:15,710
chances to give up but don't do it keep
2014 01:41:15,710 - 01:41:18,409
on moving I tried to leave some tips
2015 01:41:18,409 - 01:41:21,860
about who you need around you so that
2016 01:41:21,860 - 01:41:23,840
you can pick your associates more
2017 01:41:23,840 - 01:41:26,059
carefully because it does have something
2018 01:41:26,059 - 01:41:29,090
to do with your success I tried to speak
2019 01:41:29,090 - 01:41:32,570
to your need to have a rhythm so that
2020 01:41:32,570 - 01:41:34,639
you cannot lounge around here and let
2021 01:41:34,639 - 01:41:36,219
this moment pass you by
2022 01:41:36,219 - 01:41:38,780
you are not as young as you think you
2023 01:41:38,780 - 01:41:40,119
are
2024 01:41:40,119 - 01:41:42,650
you don't have as long as you think you
2025 01:41:42,650 - 01:41:45,320
have it takes longer to settle something
2026 01:41:45,320 - 01:41:47,260
big than you think
2027 01:41:47,260 - 01:41:50,389
you thinking in days I'm talking in
2028 01:41:50,389 - 01:41:57,590
decades you don't have many if you don't
2029 01:41:57,590 - 01:42:05,659
do it now she'll never do because you
2030 01:42:05,659 - 01:42:10,789
may not ever see that cycle come back
2031 01:42:10,789 - 01:42:15,590
again the only reason Saul wanted to
2032 01:42:15,590 - 01:42:20,030
kill David is that he was mad because he
2033 01:42:20,030 - 01:42:22,330
missed his turn
2034 01:42:22,330 - 01:42:28,229
[Music]
2035 01:42:29,390 - 01:42:31,710
