00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720
Hey everybody, welcome to the Healing Scars podcast.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Pastor B here, and this week I'm shooting from the hip, I'm talking raw from the heart.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,000
I don't have a single note in front of me.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,840
And for those of you who looked at the time counter, you probably already saw that this

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,480
is a very short episode, especially compared to normal.

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,400
And there's for good reason, okay?

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,400
We're actually wrapping up season one, okay?

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,720
There is season two, season two is coming.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,600
Very quickly, matter of fact, and I'm going to explain to you how it's going to work.

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:39,320
So initially the plan was to go for a year, take a break, look at how to improve things,

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,360
and then come back for season two.

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,120
I made the call because the Lord placed it on my heart, so I had it on my heart.

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,520
Hey, finish what you started.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,320
We were already in the book of Ephesians.

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,420
So we finished the book of Ephesians, now here we are, we're going to take this week, possibly

16
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:58,080
next week and just take a little break and then come back in on season two.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,680
Matter of fact, I already had the first message ready and waiting to go into recording.

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,600
And what we're doing in the meantime is taking a look at lessons learned over the past year

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:18,000
and continuing to look at how we can improve our processes to better serve you, to serve

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:27,420
the kingdom of God, and work to bring His word to the world and work in His glory.

21
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:37,680
So with that said, we have been so, so blessed by you and by the Lord over the course of

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,340
last year.

23
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:44,640
With the exception of Antarctica, we have listeners on every continent of the planet

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,640
now.

25
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,480
Absolutely tremendous.

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,720
I really didn't expect that.

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,360
When we started this matter of fact, I didn't know how long it was going to last, if it

28
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,360
was going to last.

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,520
Matter of fact, those first few episodes, I'm sure you noticed those of you who listen

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,800
to them or if you go back and listen to them now, the audio on there is a lot more raw.

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,820
The reason being was because I didn't know how to start, just wanted to get started.

32
00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:17,560
So I picked up my cell phone, opened up an app and was recording from my cell phone.

33
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,080
I was like, we're not waiting anymore.

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,160
We're just going to get in there and we're going to get this done.

35
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Of course, since then, made a few changes there and moved up and how we're recording

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,160
what we're using the whole bit.

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,520
So that part has been improved dramatically.

38
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Of course, we're still looking at how to improve those processes.

39
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Matter of fact, we're on so many platforms now.

40
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:50,160
One of the biggest ones is we're now on YouTube.

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Being there, of course, a lot of people is like, hey, you're on YouTube.

42
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Why don't you have video?

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,880
People have been asking for video for a while.

44
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,880
It's coming.

45
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,240
That itself is a slow process because let's face it, decent recordings and all that are

46
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,840
expensive.

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,360
Trying to find the best way to do it as well to have good video there.

48
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,120
We're debating a few things right now, whether it's me just sitting down and doing a podcast

49
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,560
style video and recording for you or if I'm standing in the sanctuary and we're just recording

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,720
me preaching at people.

51
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,800
We could do that as well.

52
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,280
There's so many things that we're looking at there.

53
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Just trying to find the best way to deliver what you're asking for and be able to do it

54
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920
well.

55
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,440
My granddad used to say, there's nothing so important, you can't take the time to do it

56
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,440
right.

57
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,280
That's what we're doing.

58
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,120
This week, well, before I go into that, of course, if you're not following us on social

59
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,760
media, please do.

60
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:08,440
On Facebook, the podcast page is Healing Scars Podcast or you can look up the sanctuary,

61
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
just Be The Light Sanctuary.

62
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,560
We have separate pages for both of those.

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Things get posted, sometimes shared there as well.

64
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,680
Lots of stuff going on there.

65
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,400
With that said, since we're taking this week and possibly next week off before we kick

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,840
off season two, I do encourage you, if you missed an episode, go back and listen to it.

67
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:36,240
If there is one that really spoke to you and you've been meaning to get back to it, you're

68
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,680
here to go back and do it.

69
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520
There's so much there.

70
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,120
Just last year, we went through the 10 least preached books of the Bible.

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,840
There's been a Bible study there.

72
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,240
There's sermons, reluctant leaders, all sorts of stuff.

73
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Matter of fact, you can even see how things have changed and how things have improved.

74
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,720
Just listen to those first few episodes and then move forward to now.

75
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,520
Please go back, take a list of those.

76
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Don't fall out of the word.

77
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Don't take time off because that's how we're armed and equipped in our day-to-day life.

78
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,120
That's where we get our manna, our bread.

79
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,920
When we pray, we say, give us today our daily bread.

80
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080
That's what it is, the word.

81
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Stay in the word.

82
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
We're going from there.

83
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I say this is very raw.

84
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I have no notes in front of me.

85
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Again, we're just going to take a quick look of the lessons learned, continue evaluating

86
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,480
and seeing how to continue to improve for you.

87
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:53,520
If there is something you'd like to hear me speak about, if you have questions, concerns,

88
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
prayer requests, prayer requests are great, all that kind of stuff.

89
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Even if you don't want to go to social media, if you go to our webpage at bethelightsanctuary.org,

90
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720
you can see how to contact me there.

91
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,240
My email's there and I do get those directly, each and every single one.

92
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,400
If you have a prayer request you'd like me to share, you can even put it in there.

93
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,520
I could share it or if you want me to keep it private, say, hey, keep this private.

94
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,240
Let me know what your prayer requests are so I know how to pray for you.

95
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,720
We need to pray for each other.

96
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400
I'm more than happy to do so.

97
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,400
I'd love to.

98
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,160
Like I say, if there's something that you'd like me to share with the church, then please

99
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,560
send it.

100
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,600
That would be absolutely wonderful.

101
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,040
So we're going to take that break starting now.

102
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,800
We'll see you again here in a week or two and we're going to keep on going because that's

103
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,800
what we do.

104
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,120
We come together as a church.

105
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:52,920
We listen to the word and we take it to the world so that everybody has that chance to

106
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,160
hear about Jesus.

107
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640
So catch you all soon.

108
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Love you all.

109
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920
Peace.
