00:10:46,560 Our church knows me too. 346 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:47,560 They know my weird, corky sense of humor. 347 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,720 If you're new, which we had a lot of new people. 348 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,720 A lot of new people. 349 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,720 They think you're just nuts. 350 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,680 They think it's all about Jimmy and not Jesus. 351 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:54,680 That is not true. 352 00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:55,680 Oh my gosh. 353 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680 We're all about Jesus. 354 00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,680 Wow. 355 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:01,080 The whole point of your message is about Jesus. 356 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,320 We're talking about the carnal mind. 357 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,280 The carnal mind is the fleshly mind. 358 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,440 What carnal means by definition is it's when you default back to your basic, primitive 359 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,440 human experience. 360 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,440 It's what happens to you when you lose your mind. 361 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,160 Driving a car may cut you off. 362 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,200 You and what you were before Jesus came into your life because literally we're supposed 363 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280 to be different people when Jesus comes in. 364 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:31,960 We're not supposed to act like everybody else, which makes us question some people's Christianity. 365 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,280 The thing is, we're supposed to be different from the world. 366 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,680 That doesn't mean the world doesn't come out of us every now and then because if it's been 367 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,080 in you, it's going to come out of you some way, some time. 368 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,480 There's residue of the sin nature in us. 369 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,480 Exactly. 370 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,680 Yes, we receive the gift of salvation from Jesus Christ. 371 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,960 He died for us on the cross and we say, yes, I want that. 372 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,960 Thank you. 373 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,080 Then we identify with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection through baptism. 374 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,840 Now we're in the family, but that doesn't mean all your habits and all the things, the 375 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,200 residue of your past life just goes away. 376 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,280 It doesn't. 377 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,120 There are no accidental saints. 378 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,600 You don't just suddenly become a saint. 379 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,160 It takes years and it takes walking with God and walking with Christ, Jesus, and getting 380 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,160 to know him. 381 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,920 And crucifying our flesh. 382 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,360 And killing the old man, so to speak. 383 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,080 You are a new person in Christ when you become a Christian. 384 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,680 When you get saved and you're a disciple of Jesus, you're a new creation. 385 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:44,080 But sometimes your mind doesn't want to believe that and so you'll default back to who you 386 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,320 were before. 387 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,720 And that's where we have to really change the way we think. 388 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,720 That's it. 389 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,120 That's what the whole idea of mind wars is because we know there's the war of being a 390 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,660 Christian, we know there's a real devil, real enemy and all that. 391 00:12:59,660 --> 00:13:04,160 But the war is not some hand-to-hand combat kind of thing. 392 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,400 It's not shotguns or guns or bows and arrows or anything like that. 393 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680 The real war happens between your ears. 394 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:11,680 It's the war in your mind. 395 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:12,680 Boy, does it ever. 396 00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:13,680 Man, does it ever. 397 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,280 I mean, you can wake up in the middle of the night and have a war going on. 398 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,280 Exactly. 399 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,960 Or have these dark, malevolent thoughts that come to you out of nowhere. 400 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:28,000 We're having a great day and then boom, out of the blue, this thought comes in your mind 401 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120 and it triggers something in you. 402 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,600 And then you have to ask the question, where did that come from? 403 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,600 Yes. 404 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,960 Because a lot of times it's not from you. 405 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,960 Right. 406 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,960 It's not. 407 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,600 Well, there's a real enemy out there. 408 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,120 He loves to insert. 409 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,120 He loves to infiltrate. 410 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 He loves to bring these what I call intrusive thoughts. 411 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,680 He intrudes. 412 00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,560 So these intrusive thoughts will come to you out of nowhere. 413 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:55,720 You're having a good day, like you were saying. 414 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,720 No big deal. 415 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360 Tuesday afternoon, hey, I get off work in a couple of hours. 416 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,360 It's great. 417 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,720 And then something happens and you get triggered. 418 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,200 The enemy is an opportunist. 419 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,200 Oh man. 420 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,200 He's very cunning and crafty. 421 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,200 He's smart. 422 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:18,760 He is scary smart and he loves to trigger us leveraging past mistakes or past things 423 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,200 that were done to us, past traumas. 424 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,000 He will leverage those things to just get in your head. 425 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,080 Which we have the authority, the Bible says submit to God and then resist the devil. 426 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:40,200 So we resist the devil by ignoring what he's saying, but also by speaking that we don't 427 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,440 believe what he's saying. 428 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,680 And then he will leave, but he always still comes back. 429 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,400 It's not like you resist him, he's gone and it's never going to happen again. 430 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,400 No. 431 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,800 He looks for other opportunities. 432 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,440 The actual construct of that sentence out of the book of James is the scripture you're 433 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,840 referencing means to resist and keep resisting. 434 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520 It's not just a one-time thing. 435 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,120 We live our lives resisting the enemy. 436 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,340 We don't live our lives with the enemy in mind. 437 00:15:09,340 --> 00:15:10,640 We have Jesus in mind. 438 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,280 He's number one, period. 439 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,360 But we're always wise too and smart of knowing there's a real enemy out there. 440 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,560 The smartest thing that the enemy can do to any human being. 441 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,200 And if you're listening today and you're like, oh, they're talking about the devil. 442 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,440 We're talking about the dude with the pitchfork and horns. 443 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,560 A lot of people don't believe. 444 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,520 They don't believe that the devil's real, that Satan's a real being. 445 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,840 He's a created being according to the Bible. 446 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280 God did create him, but he spun out. 447 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:43,240 He chose using his own free will to go another way and rebelled against God and took a bunch 448 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,560 of angels with him. 449 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360 And so obviously he was cast down. 450 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,960 But what he loves to do, one of his best tactics is to convince us that he's not real. 451 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,960 That's true. 452 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,280 Man, if you are living your life and you think that spiritual warfare is not real and that 453 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,840 the devil's not real, you've already lost. 454 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280 You're already on the ropes, so to speak. 455 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,360 He's winning around three and around four. 456 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,680 He really is. 457 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440 So we have to resist him and continue to. 458 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,520 We do that in our mind. 459 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,240 We do it with our words, but we do it in our mind, in our head. 460 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,500 The Bible says in the book of Romans, it says, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 461 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,500 Be changed. 462 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,760 Don't be conformed to the world. 463 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,160 Be transformed. 464 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Be changed by changing the way you think or the renewing of your mind. 465 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,520 I love what you said on Sunday. 466 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,840 We need to think about what we're thinking about. 467 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,320 That's a Steve Berger quote. 468 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Pastor Steve Berger was our pastor in Tennessee. 469 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,320 You've been saying it long enough. 470 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,320 You can take it now. 471 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,320 I can own it now. 472 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,320 I'm going to own it now. 473 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,320 But it really is. 474 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,320 It's true. 475 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,320 It's really true. 476 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,320 Say it again. 477 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,320 It's important. 478 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,240 You've got to think about what we're thinking about. 479 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,240 There you go. 480 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,240 Wow. 481 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:52,240 And I think so many times we just allow any thought to come into our mind or stay in our 482 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,520 mind and then we say things, but we're not really thinking about it. 483 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:03,460 The Bible talks a lot about fools and what comes out of their mouths and how it's better 484 00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:08,660 to not talk than to say things and sound like a fool. 485 00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:12,040 And so, boy, you were right on Sunday. 486 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040 It was very strong. 487 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,040 Very... 488 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,040 Oh, I'm sorry. 489 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,040 No, go ahead. 490 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,040 I didn't mean to cut you off at all. 491 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,040 No, it's okay. 492 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,040 I had a thought and I opened my mouth. 493 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,040 I know. 494 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Oh, sorry. 495 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,040 I was talking about thinking. 496 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,040 I had a thought. 497 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Okay. 498 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,040 So what was your thought? 499 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040 Out of the abundance of the heart, mouth speaks, right? 500 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,920 So anyway, Joyce Meyer wrote a book back in 1995 called The Battlefield of the Mind, great 501 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280 book and it was renewed in 2011, updated. 502 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,340 And in that book she says this, Satan knows that if he can defeat us in our mind, he can 503 00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:42,240 defeat us in our experience. 504 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,280 Oh, that is so true. 505 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,960 And that really follows the biblical precedent. 506 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,680 Verse 23, 7 says this, for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. 507 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,480 That is so spot on. 508 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,480 As someone thinks in their heart about themselves, that's how they become. 509 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,400 As the head goes, so goes the body. 510 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,280 In shepherding terms and sheep, as the shepherd go, so go the sheep. 511 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,080 So whatever is the head, the mind for us, the thought, everything will follow the thought 512 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,080 life. 513 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,080 That's true. 514 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:23,260 So be transformed, be changed, change your form by the renewing of your mind. 515 00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:24,260 Our minds have to be... 516 00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:25,260 Or changing the way you think. 517 00:18:25,260 --> 00:18:26,520 Changing the way you think. 518 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,040 New Living Translation, beautiful. 519 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,200 So true. 520 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,440 So here's the definition of the carnal mind because we talked about that. 521 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,920 The carnal mind is the default mode of the human experience. 522 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,200 Isn't that so on? 523 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,200 The default mode is what we go to when we're angry. 524 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,720 Yep, that's true. 525 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:53,680 What happens, our anger, we default to the basic human experience and we bypass everything 526 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,160 we've learned, everything we've trained, the things that are the boundaries that are in 527 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,840 our mind that we've learned and trained and it goes all out the window in a moment. 528 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,120 It certainly can, can't it? 529 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:06,120 It sure can. 530 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:07,120 Yeah. 531 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,120 You ever lost your mind? 532 00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:09,920 Oh yeah, I think I did last night. 533 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,920 And this morning? 534 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,700 And you did too because I was upset. 535 00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:15,700 You were. 536 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:16,700 Me, you were upset. 537 00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:17,700 No, I was upset at the situation. 538 00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:18,700 Yeah, the situation. 539 00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:22,640 And it wasn't another person, it was an organizational thing. 540 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,560 It was a banking thing. 541 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,560 Yeah, banking thing. 542 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,920 There was an error in our banking and... 543 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,920 You're trying to get it resolved. 544 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,560 Just our processing of credit cards information. 545 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,840 And finally, you got to the point where you just to use the... you defaulted, you went 546 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,840 into your default mode of your human experience. 547 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Default of my human experience. 548 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,840 And I was so... 549 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,840 You went primal. 550 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,840 I was spun up. 551 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,840 You were spun up. 552 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,200 I know, I was afraid to try to talk you off the ledge. 553 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,400 Because every time I tried to do something that they wanted, it wasn't good enough. 554 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,680 They needed some other kind of documentation. 555 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,120 I'm like, oh my gosh. 556 00:19:55,120 --> 00:20:06,280 I can't imagine people, and I think about this, who have lost their identity through 557 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,160 banking or people scammed them or something, and the things they have to go through. 558 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,440 And ours is just changing from one bank account to another, and the things I had to go through. 559 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,560 But can you imagine if your identity is stolen and what you have to do? 560 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560 I was spun up over something small compared to what a lot of people go through. 561 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,580 Here's a pro tip for men. 562 00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:32,400 If your wife is spun up and she's losing her mind, that's not the time to say, hey, calm 563 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,400 down. 564 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,200 Hey, you need to chill out. 565 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,200 That is... 566 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,640 Or don't throw a Bible verse out. 567 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,640 Worst thing ever. 568 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,640 Worst thing. 569 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,640 I didn't do that. 570 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,640 No, you didn't. 571 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,080 But I can tell you were... 572 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,080 I was... 573 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,080 You were upset too. 574 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,360 You were spun up and it started to spin me up. 575 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,360 Well, you know what? 576 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:49,360 Guess what? 577 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,360 We're human. 578 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:51,360 What? 579 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,360 I know. 580 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,360 But... 581 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,360 We defaulted. 582 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:55,360 It could have been worse. 583 00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,360 Oh, it could have been way worse. 584 00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:57,360 It could have been. 585 00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:58,360 We actually were fine. 586 00:20:58,360 --> 00:20:59,360 We went to bed good, and then we... 587 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:00,360 Because we're never mad at each other. 588 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,160 At 11 o'clock, I'm looking at my email, did the bank get this figured out? 589 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,600 And I wake up this morning, still not the right documentation. 590 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,680 I'm like, oh my gosh. 591 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,680 Here I go again. 592 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960 I still don't know the end game of it. 593 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,960 I still don't. 594 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,400 And it still isn't resolved, which I know that's hard on you. 595 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,200 That is hard to not have closure. 596 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,520 I'm an executor. 597 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,520 You are. 598 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,280 And that sounds bad, but I'm... 599 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,280 Executor in the... 600 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,280 No, you're executioner. 601 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,280 That would sound bad. 602 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,280 Executor's good. 603 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760 But I don't know if a lot of people can distinguish that. 604 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,640 But anyway, I mean, I get things done. 605 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,760 I'm not a procrastinator. 606 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,920 I get things done. 607 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,960 I mean, I do the laundry two or three times a week. 608 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,920 You're amazing, superpowers. 609 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,120 I mean, my daughter, my oldest daughter, lets hers pile up. 610 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,920 She's probably not listening to this, so it won't matter what I say. 611 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,880 But lets her laundry pile up because she hates it so much. 612 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,680 And if she would just do it every few days, it wouldn't be overwhelming. 613 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,680 I know, honey. 614 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,680 You're so right. 615 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,680 I've got that down pat. 616 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,520 I actually enjoy doing it because I like my laundry basket to be empty. 617 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,080 I love that about you. 618 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,080 And you help me. 619 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,080 I do. 620 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,080 I do. 621 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,080 You do help me. 622 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,080 I try to pitch in. 623 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,080 You don't ever want me messing with the washer dryer. 624 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,080 That's for sure. 625 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,080 No, and I don't care. 626 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,080 That's easy. 627 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,080 It wouldn't be good for either of us, but I don't mind helping with the other part. 628 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,920 But I am a get it done kind of person. 629 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,920 Yes, you are. 630 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,040 Oh my gosh. 631 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,240 And I love that about you. 632 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,320 And when I have people around me that aren't... 633 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,880 Like your husband? 634 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,880 Yes. 635 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,600 That's when I get spun up. 636 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,880 Yeah, you're a little bit more of a procrastinator than I am. 637 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,880 No, I'm just paced. 638 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,880 I move at the pace of grace. 639 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,880 Yeah, you're more deliberate and patient. 640 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,880 I am very intentional. 641 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,920 I'm more impatient and I want to get it done. 642 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,960 But I do try to get it done, right? 643 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,960 I'm not one that will... 644 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:45,960 No, you do. 645 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,960 You're excellent. 646 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,960 That is for sure. 647 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,960 I am. 648 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,960 I try to be. 649 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,960 For sure. 650 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,960 I try to be. 651 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,960 I know. 652 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,080 So what do we do about these intrusive thoughts? 653 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,480 What's a way that... 654 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,200 Like when things come to your mind, you get bombarded with something. 655 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,200 Your mind gets assaulted with these thoughts. 656 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,200 You're not good enough. 657 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,200 You're not pretty enough. 658 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,200 Blah, blah, blah. 659 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,200 What do you do? 660 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,200 Well, you can't rehearse those thoughts. 661 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,200 Oh, there you go. 662 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,680 That's the worst thing you can do. 663 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,680 What happens when you rehearse them? 664 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,680 You nurse it. 665 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,680 You rehearse it. 666 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,680 Yeah. 667 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,440 And that is very dangerous. 668 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:22,240 There are times, especially in my past, that I would do that just because I don't know 669 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,240 why. 670 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:29,640 I remember being a child in junior high and upset that my boyfriend left me when I was 671 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,640 young. 672 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,360 I mean, young, young. 673 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:33,920 And what do you do? 674 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,640 You play the songs that you used to listen to together, and you keep playing those, and 675 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,640 you just keep rehearsing. 676 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,640 Right. 677 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,640 You know what I'm saying? 678 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,640 Right. 679 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,640 Yes. 680 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,640 I remember, and I'm like, I look back at that and go, why do we do that? 681 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,640 I know. 682 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,640 Torture. 683 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,880 It was torture. 684 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,680 And that's the opposite of what we need to do. 685 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,000 We need to do the opposite. 686 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,800 We need to bring in new things. 687 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,800 Right. 688 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,800 New... 689 00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,800 New things. 690 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,360 And we need to replace with something good rather than something that's going to continue 691 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,720 to nurse that. 692 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,520 One way to say that is to reveal and then replace. 693 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,520 Yeah, that's good. 694 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,360 To reveal means you identify what's going on in there. 695 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:13,360 Yes. 696 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:17,160 You have to identify when an intrusive thought hits you, you have to identify, is this the 697 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240 truth or is this a lie? 698 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,240 There you go. 699 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,960 And then if it's a lie, then you've revealed it. 700 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,440 Now you need to replace it. 701 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,720 But too many of us believe that lie. 702 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,400 So we think it's truth, and that's where it's dangerous. 703 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,240 That's where the war happens, right? 704 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,240 It is. 705 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,840 So how do you distinguish truth when things come to you? 706 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,600 Well, as a Christian, you've got to know what the Bible says about whatever that is. 707 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,600 Ding, ding, ding, you win. 708 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,600 Yes. 709 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,600 But people don't know where to go. 710 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,600 This is why I think this about you. 711 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,600 Oh my gosh. 712 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,800 When you get spiritual, girl, it's just... 713 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,800 Wow. 714 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,760 But you have to know where to go. 715 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,400 To me, you can Google, what does the Bible say about this? 716 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,720 You can chat GPT, which I wouldn't say that to Adam Curry because he would be upset about 717 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,720 that. 718 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,720 No, he has chat GPT. 719 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,720 He uses it all the time. 720 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,720 Oh, it's Tina. 721 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,720 I'm sorry, it's Tina. 722 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:14,760 But you can literally chat GPT on your computer and say, what does the Bible say about this? 723 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,520 And it'll just pull up everything. 724 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,640 It'll give you 10 scriptures. 725 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,640 It's great. 726 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,640 It's actually... 727 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,640 For Bible study, it's actually helpful. 728 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,640 It's not always a good thing. 729 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,640 But you know what? 730 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,960 The internet is not all good either, but there are some good assets. 731 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,960 Well, here's the thing. 732 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,840 You use tools, you don't let tools use you. 733 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,840 Exactly. 734 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,840 So that's what we do. 735 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,840 Exactly. 736 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,840 So you're the gatekeeper. 737 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,840 So think about it in these terms. 738 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,320 And I've been beating this drum and I'm going to continue to. 739 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,320 You are. 740 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,840 We are the gatekeepers of our mind. 741 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,360 Nobody else can. 742 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:48,880 Your friend, your spouse, your pastor, whatever, your boss, nobody can be the gatekeeper of 743 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,880 your mind. 744 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,880 Only you. 745 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,880 Only you. 746 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,520 You can't be accountable to someone because it's your mind. 747 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,520 So... 748 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,000 Well, speaking of... 749 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000 What? 750 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520 You confessed today. 751 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,520 Which time? 752 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,520 What did I do this time? 753 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,520 You said you're going to stop having heavy cream. 754 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,520 Oh, no. 755 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,120 You're going to go there. 756 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,120 Yes. 757 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,760 It's because it's the end of the day. 758 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,760 I'm tired. 759 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,160 I literally forgot. 760 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,880 Well, you were like, I want you to keep me accountable, which I know I can't. 761 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,880 I even tried. 762 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,640 See, I proved my point. 763 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,720 You said I need help because I need to quit putting so much cream in my coffee. 764 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,440 Well, we're carnivore and cream is okay a little bit, but I think I'm having too much 765 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,440 with my coffee. 766 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,440 You think you are? 767 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,440 I can't even see the coffee. 768 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,440 I'm being nice to myself. 769 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,080 It looks like all heavy cream. 770 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,560 I like cream in my coffee. 771 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,560 What can I say? 772 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,840 I like a little coffee with my cream. 773 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:41,840 You do. 774 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,840 So it's heavy cream. 775 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,960 So anyway, it can stall your results in carnivore because it can be too much. 776 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,960 It doesn't do it for everybody. 777 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,880 It may not even be doing it for me because I'm actually still doing it. 778 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,400 But it can add some inflammation. 779 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,960 So I'm going to start starting tomorrow. 780 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320 You walk into our office tonight after a meeting. 781 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,320 I can't believe you're tattling on me. 782 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,320 I know. 783 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,320 You are a tattletale. 784 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,240 Do we have any heavy cream in our refrigerator because we have a little refrigerator? 785 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,240 I totally forgot. 786 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,240 I said- 787 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,240 I lost my mind. 788 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,240 I thought you were going to- 789 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,240 I defaulted to my basic human existence. 790 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,520 So what's the point of accountability? 791 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,160 The point of accountability is it doesn't work. 792 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,360 Well, tell us what you really think. 793 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,360 It doesn't work. 794 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:16,360 Daymanette. 795 00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,520 You talked about it on Sunday. 796 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,520 It really doesn't work. 797 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,520 So I'll prove my point. 798 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,520 There you go. 799 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,520 The hard way. 800 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,520 There you go. 801 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,520 Oh man. 802 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,520 Busted. 803 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,680 But I put it out on the podcast so that you would- 804 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,280 Oh, I see what you're doing. 805 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,280 I know. 806 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,760 If I get thousands of people to hear this, maybe 100,000, whoever- 807 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,240 Maybe he will go off heavy cream. 808 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,360 Maybe 10, whoever listens. 809 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:39,520 I went off heavy cream. 810 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,520 Yeah, you did. 811 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,520 Yeah. 812 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,520 Man, look how it's working for you. 813 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,520 I know. 814 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,520 It is. 815 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,520 Okay. 816 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,160 I mean, I do have a little bit of inflammation every now and then, but not like I did. 817 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,960 So I think it's just- 818 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,680 So while we're telling on ourselves, really what we're trying to do is help you. 819 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,760 And first of all, we're total humans. 820 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,120 We've never denied it, never will. 821 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:01,520 We are not perfect people. 822 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,320 I'm a pastor and so what? 823 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,320 I'm still a dude. 824 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,320 I'm a guy. 825 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,320 And so we have to deal with the things of life just like you do. 826 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,840 I mean, we get up on the same side of the bed as you do, sometimes the good side and 827 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,320 sometimes the bad. 828 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,560 It's just the human experience and that's who we are. 829 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,040 The beauty of it is, is that we know Christ, we love Him, and here's the thing, here's 830 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,080 the kicker, we know He loves us. 831 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,840 Even in our worst day, in our worst moments. 832 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,640 It boils down to we have a relationship with Christ. 833 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,640 There it is. 834 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:39,280 Cross is in the middle of everything we do and does it make us perfect? 835 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,760 No, but He's the perfect one and everything we do revolves around Him. 836 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:53,400 I cannot imagine, Daymonette, I cannot imagine not doing this life without Him. 837 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,080 Can you even wrap your mind around it? 838 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,160 No, and that's one of the things I'm always grateful for when I'm praying. 839 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:04,040 I'm like, Lord, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you and I don't want to do anything else 840 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,800 but serve you the rest of my life. 841 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,280 I wish you'd tell me that, but anyway, I'm kidding. 842 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,320 I'm just looking at you in the eyes and you're saying that I'm melting over here. 843 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,920 You're so hilarious. 844 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,960 I know, I'm melting. 845 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,520 I always do. 846 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,520 But it's true. 847 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,760 I'm sorry, I kind of joked on a really good point you were making. 848 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,760 No, it's okay. 849 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,240 No, but it's true. 850 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:32,160 No, but it's out of our relationship and when you love God, you can love people well, you 851 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,240 can make better decisions. 852 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,040 You just have to be cognizant of what's in your mind and what you allow your mind to 853 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,280 rehearse and nurse. 854 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120 We need to be rehearsing and nursing the Word of God. 855 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,880 And what God says about us. 856 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,760 We have a women's luncheon coming up in March and one of the ladies said, you know, I'd 857 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:57,800 love there to be a card on the table that all the women can take that has a prayer and 858 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,360 a scripture. 859 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,520 And so I came up with it. 860 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,640 I decided I don't want to do a card, but a bookmark. 861 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,920 And so I came up with this bookmark. 862 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,600 I'm really excited about it because I had faith make this bookmark. 863 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,760 And it has wildflowers on it because our theme has to do with wildflowers because it's a 864 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,680 spring luncheon. 865 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:27,160 But I really want to talk to the women about what God says about us and how we need to 866 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,760 believe what God says. 867 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,400 So I wrote a prayer and then on the other side I talked about a scripture. 868 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,720 Do you have it where you can read it? 869 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,720 Yeah. 870 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,720 That would be cool. 871 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,720 I love the scripture. 872 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Let me see if I can pull it up real quick. 873 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:48,120 This really, you know, I've read this scripture so many times, but when I read it this time, 874 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,240 I love it when the Bible does that. 875 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,240 It was like, just blow something up that you've read a dozen times. 876 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,240 Here it is. 877 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Here's the scripture. 878 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,960 And this is out of Psalm 139, 13 through 19. 879 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,880 For you created my inmost being. 880 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,680 You knit me together in my mother's womb. 881 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,720 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 882 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,920 Your works are wonderful. 883 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,440 I know that full well. 884 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:26,520 Now I've read that dozens of times, but what really got me was the last sentence. 885 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,800 I know that full well. 886 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,080 Think about it. 887 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,800 We as women, I'm speaking for our gender. 888 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,020 I can't speak for men. 889 00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,560 We don't know that full well. 890 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,960 We don't realize that we're wonderfully and fearfully made. 891 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,960 We're so caught. 892 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,720 Or the moment you start to have a good thought like that, this intrusive thought comes in 893 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,040 and says, oh, really? 894 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,400 Let me show you your flaws. 895 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,640 And boy, don't our eyes go to our flaws? 896 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,320 The first thing you look at in a photograph of a group of people that you're in, what 897 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,320 do you look at? 898 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,320 Yeah, we look at our... 899 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,320 Go to your flaw. 900 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,320 Yeah, we go to our picture. 901 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,320 Is my flaw showing? 902 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,080 The part I don't like about myself, is that what's showing? 903 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,880 Which is why I don't like it when you put any of my pictures on, because I go right 904 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:12,880 to that. 905 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,480 Oh my gosh, I spun you up on that one, didn't I? 906 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,880 This scripture, I know that full well. 907 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:24,280 I'm going to speak at the Women's Luncheon about that one sentence, because I don't believe, 908 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:31,120 because if I don't, and I'm a pastor, I'm seasoned, and I have a hard time with that, 909 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,680 I can't imagine all of these women that come in. 910 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,680 It's brutal. 911 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880 It's a brutal assault on their mind and their soul. 912 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,880 Yes, it is. 913 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,880 Yeah. 914 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,360 But I want to know that fully well. 915 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,480 I want to know that. 916 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,600 And I think that God just sent me to that scripture, just because he's got to do it 917 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,840 with me first before I can even speak to anybody else. 918 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,520 When you read that to me, it immediately renewed my mind. 919 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,480 It was like an instantaneous yes. 920 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,440 And that's something that happens in the Bible. 921 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,680 You'll have these moments where you're inside. 922 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,680 You may not say it out loud, but you may not even think it, but there's something in you 923 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,680 screams yes. 924 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,680 Yes. 925 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,680 That's true. 926 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,920 And it's true of me. 927 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,920 When you read that, I just went all over me. 928 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,920 Yeah. 929 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,920 It's because you're so anointed. 930 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,920 It's powerful. 931 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:18,920 You're so sweet. 932 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:24,640 Well, no, I just think that, and I love it because I wrote out a prayer, and we're going 933 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,560 to give this out as a bookmark, and that way women, anybody can have it, and they'll be 934 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,560 able to keep it in their journal, their Bible. 935 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,160 And hopefully look at this, read that prayer and that scripture, and let it really take 936 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,800 root in their heart. 937 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,880 Because I feel like God's saying, Annette, take root. 938 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,200 Let this take root in your heart because you need to know this as much as anybody else, 939 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,000 if not more. 940 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,640 And yeah, if you're going to speak about it, you better own it. 941 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,520 And so it's like preaching a message. 942 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,400 It's got to get to you before it can get to them. 943 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:06,240 And it was that, I don't think I've ever really noticed that last sentence because I can say 944 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,240 it all I want. 945 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,080 Oh yeah, Lord, I know you knit me in my mother's womb. 946 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,480 I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. 947 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,840 But do I really know that full well? 948 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,440 So that's something to ponder. 949 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,440 Powerful. 950 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,440 Yeah. 951 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,040 Thank you for sharing that. 952 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:27,240 That's the vulnerable side, particularly females that struggle so much with body dysmorphia. 953 00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:28,240 Yes, for sure. 954 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,920 It's a real, the struggle is real, as they say. 955 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,920 The struggle is real. 956 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,920 It really is. 957 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,920 It is. 958 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,920 But also is the victory. 959 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,920 The victory is imminent. 960 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,920 And it's all in our mind. 961 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,920 It's the mind of war. 962 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,920 Yeah. 963 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,920 Oh man, I love you so much. 964 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,000 But I love the series. 965 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,560 And I know you're not going to be preaching this Sunday because you've got Brian preaching 966 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,560 so that we can do it. 967 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,600 I'm playing guitar, playing lead guitar on the worship team. 968 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,160 And I'm doing a membership class. 969 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,360 But he's going to continue in the same vein of thought. 970 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,920 And it's going to be wonderful. 971 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,840 And we're going to get more out of it. 972 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,000 We're not going to get just as much listening to him and you and the other people. 973 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,880 The title of his message is Decisive Victory. 974 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,880 I know. 975 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Dude, I want to hear that. 976 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,880 I know. 977 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,880 We'll be there first and third. 978 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,880 We'll be there for the first and third. 979 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:09,880 So that's awesome. 980 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,880 But I'm excited. 981 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,880 I'm really excited about it. 982 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,880 I love it, baby. 983 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,880 You just, wow. 984 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,160 It's a good series. 985 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,180 And I think the timing is perfect. 986 00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:22,240 It's already helping people, the feedback that we're getting of people saying, that 987 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:25,560 thing about I need to start thinking about what I'm thinking about. 988 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,600 I'm starting to think about what I'm thinking about. 989 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,520 And I don't always like what I'm thinking about. 990 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,520 They're seeing things. 991 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,280 But we got to do something about it. 992 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,040 So yeah, for you that are listening, man, right in that same vein, start thinking about 993 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,400 what you're thinking about. 994 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:44,960 And then if it's not of God, which it's not that deep, you'll know, then eject it. 995 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,960 Reject it. 996 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:46,960 Resist it. 997 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,720 Don't, you're the guardian of your mind and you don't have to hold the thoughts that come. 998 00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,720 You can't always control the thoughts that come. 999 00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:54,720 They'll show up. 1000 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:55,720 They'll come. 1001 00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,760 There's no guilt enough thought hitting you. 1002 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,440 It's just now what are you going to do with it? 1003 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,400 Don't plant it in the soil of your heart. 1004 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,400 Exactly. 1005 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,400 Should we thank some people? 1006 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,400 Yes, let's thank some people. 1007 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,400 Well, first of all, a couple of things. 1008 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,400 This is from Renee Sechrist. 1009 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,640 And I don't think I wrote, read this the other day. 1010 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,120 I think this was from the last show, maybe. 1011 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,680 But listen to what she says. 1012 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,680 This is so cool. 1013 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,440 I just finished episode 50. 1014 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,120 Congratulations to you guys on the big five-oh. 1015 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:24,280 Though I do agree with you that 52 marks the year and that is also a big celebration. 1016 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,280 You did read that. 1017 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280 I did. 1018 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,280 I'm sorry. 1019 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,280 That's okay. 1020 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,280 I'll do it anyway. 1021 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,760 But 52 does mark the celebration. 1022 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,680 She said she watched your story on YouTube. 1023 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,960 And although you shared your story with me the first year you came to Oak Hills, yes, 1024 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,120 I cried for your little girl too. 1025 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,560 I'm feeling moved to tell you because you did share in the past that you have body image 1026 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,520 issues that you need to know. 1027 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,520 You are beautiful. 1028 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,520 Simply beautiful. 1029 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,200 I have to agree with that. 1030 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,960 Or in Jimmy-isms, brutiful. 1031 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,800 Many more out there agree with Jimmy on this subject. 1032 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,800 Your beauty permeates from the inside and then out. 1033 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,800 I've not read this because this is going all over me right now. 1034 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,800 Maybe not. 1035 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,800 Maybe you just read it to me. 1036 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,800 This is beautiful. 1037 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,560 She came to me on Sunday and sat down before church and said, I watched the video. 1038 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,400 And she said, Annette, even though I had heard your story before a couple of times, you had 1039 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:23,160 shared and then you had shared with the congregation or women's ministry, whatever I did. 1040 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:33,640 She said, when I saw it, it was like I saw you as a child and I started bawling because 1041 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,320 I could feel what you were going through as a child. 1042 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,320 Same thing happened to me. 1043 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,320 Love it. 1044 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,320 Wow. 1045 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,320 Yeah. 1046 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,320 That was moving. 1047 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,320 Listen to how she ends this. 1048 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,900 She says, I'm so very happy for you that God has given you Jimmy so that you could experience 1049 00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:50,440 the full bounding of a Christian marriage. 1050 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,480 Yes, God is good and always keeps his promises. 1051 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,480 Always. 1052 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,920 Renee, we love you so much. 1053 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,520 You and Dan, just two of our favorite people. 1054 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,920 Thank you for listening to the show, but thank you for letting us know what's percolating 1055 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,920 in your heart. 1056 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,920 It helps. 1057 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,560 Here's another note from a dear friend, Peggy Layden. 1058 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,840 We love Peggy. 1059 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:08,840 We get to see her this week. 1060 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,840 I know. 1061 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,960 We're going to see her on Friday night and Saturday. 1062 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,520 She wrote an email and I have not responded. 1063 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,920 I haven't had a moment. 1064 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,920 I responded. 1065 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,920 Oh, good. 1066 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:19,920 I'm glad. 1067 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,920 I love your emails. 1068 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,920 Peggy, I love you. 1069 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:27,440 I'm just not good at responding to emails because I'm so busy executing everything else 1070 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,440 and Jimmy is fly by night. 1071 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,440 Oh, I'll respond to everything. 1072 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,440 No, it's good. 1073 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,440 Don't drag me into this. 1074 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,440 Well, you did respond. 1075 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,440 I did. 1076 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,440 All right, from Peggy. 1077 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,680 She says, I see your growth at church. 1078 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,760 She sees it, obviously. 1079 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,520 I am not surprised at all. 1080 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,520 It is so exciting. 1081 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,700 God told me that that was going to happen when I felt prompted to reach out and offer 1082 00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:49,700 some teaming options. 1083 00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:52,600 She took us through Strength Finders 2.0. 1084 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,360 We had such a blast with that. 1085 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,360 With her, she was a jewel. 1086 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,360 She was fun. 1087 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,360 Love you both. 1088 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,360 I'm so proud of you, Annette. 1089 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:04,080 You are helping many women by leaning into all your truths and what God has done in and 1090 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,680 through you. 1091 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,040 God bless your week and can't wait to see you. 1092 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,040 KYBO. 1093 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:20,200 Keep your bucket till it's flowing. 1094 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,640 That leaky bucket. 1095 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,640 It's so funny. 1096 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,640 Thank you, TJ the Wrathful. 1097 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,320 Well, she says, KYBO, and I don't have the jingle for KTLD because it's really an Adam 1098 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,320 and Tina jingle. 1099 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,320 But you've got to get it from them. 1100 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,320 KTLD stands for...
