00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,340
In this episode, part 5 of Why Are You Here, we embark on a journey of embracing change

2
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:10,280
and pursuing purpose.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,040
We delve into Sean's upcoming journey into the army, exploring how this decision aligns

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,000
with his deeper calling.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Sean reflects on the roots of this choice, growing up in a military family, seeing it

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,320
as a pathway to enhance discipline and leadership, ultimately leading more people to Jesus.

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,880
We share insights into how pivotal life changes, even when initially daunting, often pave the

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,720
way for personal growth.

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:46,120
Myself, I, Thomas, reflect on my upcoming move, seeing it as a step forward towards

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,160
my calling, acknowledging that change often precedes progress.

11
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:55,840
As we navigate these transitions, we discuss the future of Technically Short, inviting

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,000
potential co-hosts to join this exciting new season.

13
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:36,960
So, some of you already know that Sean has some updates, some new things happening in

14
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,160
his life very, very soon.

15
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,840
As of today, it will be in two days.

16
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Yeah, two days.

17
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,160
So, Sean, why don't you do this update for those people that don't know what's going

18
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,160
on?

19
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,920
Well, the people who don't know what's going on, I am going to the army!

20
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,920
G-I-J-O-O-B.

21
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Yeah, I'm really excited on this walk and I'm excited where God's going to take me and

22
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,920
I'm going to just lead more people to Jesus by using the army.

23
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaking of that, Sean, this is a series all about purpose.

24
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,920
So how is this going to contribute to your purpose?

25
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:17,920
Oh, okay.

26
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,840
So, it's like what I said before, you just use whatever God puts in your hands to help

27
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,520
you lead to whatever God wants you to do in your life.

28
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:34,640
The army, for me, is going to be a vehicle or a stepping stone, for some people say,

29
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,120
that increased my influence to lead more people to Jesus.

30
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:46,600
So, I'm going to use the US Army to, for one, get more credibility, for two, create discipline,

31
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,920
for three, to be a better leader, and for four, to bring more people to Jesus.

32
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,920
Let's go.

33
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:55,760
Yeah, man.

34
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Do you, can you think of, like, you've definitely put a lot of thought into, like, how that's

35
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,160
going to happen and, like, how this is really going to feed into your purpose?

36
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,320
And obviously you don't know exactly.

37
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Yeah.

38
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Because, how could you?

39
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,320
Right.

40
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,920
However, like, is there something that you're, in particular, really looking forward to

41
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:21,480
when it comes to how this is going to pertain to your purpose or in any way?

42
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:29,640
That, I'm really looking forward to, like, Sundays, every Sunday there will be worship

43
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:31,720
services and stuff like that.

44
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,960
So I'm excited for the barracks and stuff, even during basic training and all the other

45
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,320
type of trainings about the AIT and all that.

46
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,200
I will be excited for leading that and then starting Bible studies and all that.

47
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Like, I'm just going to use this to increase my purpose in every way God lets me and learn

48
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,320
as best as I can to become a better leader and create better disciplines.

49
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,760
So yeah, I don't know if I answered that correctly.

50
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160
There's no right or wrong way.

51
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160
You gave an answer.

52
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280
No, that was fine.

53
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:22,200
Like the, I'm thinking back to when you first told everybody that you're going to the army

54
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,840
and everybody else, including myself, it seemed like a very rash decision.

55
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,080
But you said you put some thought into it.

56
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,160
What was those initial thoughts that made you decide?

57
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Yeah, I always had this backup plan.

58
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,200
This was the backup plan of life.

59
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,800
Like, say if everything else failed in life, I wanted to do things my way, but I knew that

60
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,500
like if I couldn't do things my way, then it was like, okay, how to become a better

61
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:51,480
leader and how to create discipline and all the stuff that I would love and plus honor

62
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,800
and respect, duty, all that and be able to just become a better leader.

63
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880
I was like, okay, I'll join the army.

64
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,680
I always had that backup plan because my older brother Casey, he was in the army for a while.

65
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,040
My sister, she's in the Navy.

66
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,880
My whole family is military.

67
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,040
So my granddad, he was an army ranger like my other granddad, Italian gangster, also

68
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
army ranger, crazy, crazy story.

69
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680
But yeah, like my family is military.

70
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,140
And it's always been like, if you don't achieve everything you want by going to school or

71
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:28,520
starting your own business, then it's like you go to the military.

72
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640
We don't believe in just doing nothing in our life.

73
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,000
It's like you achieve, you do whatever God calls you to do, and you achieve it any way

74
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,560
you can, whatever type of cards or God gives you in your hand, you just play them the best

75
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,560
of your ability.

76
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,560
That's good, man.

77
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,560
That's good because it was definitely a shock whenever you were like, yeah, I'm going to

78
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,560
the army.

79
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,560
I'm going to the army.

80
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,560
I was like, wait, what?

81
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,160
I found out whenever everybody else did.

82
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,960
And I was like, wait, it's not that I have to know when I was going to everything.

83
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,840
It's like, we live together, man.

84
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,880
Yeah, I knew it was like because I didn't want anybody to deter me.

85
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,760
And I was worried that like if I told you right off and you're like, are you sure about

86
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,760
this?

87
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,360
I was like, I like when I had like my mind made up on something, it's like it's set.

88
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:24,280
So it's like, OK, I'm going to tell everybody at the same time because this is a sad thing.

89
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,840
And then I was like, oh, I was excited.

90
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:27,840
That's fair.

91
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,800
Because I was I mean, I know I was skeptical at first.

92
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:42,760
And like, I guess I think they took the time that they took the time that it did for me

93
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,320
to see how like vigorously that you are going after this and how you haven't given up, even

94
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,200
though it's been like the other thing that kept being delayed time and time again.

95
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,840
They're like, no, I'm doing this.

96
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:55,840
I'm not just going to quit.

97
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,600
And that's what showed me like, OK, he's actually serious about this.

98
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,480
This wasn't just like a cop out to be like, oh, OK, I'm just going.

99
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,840
I'm just going because I'm here and nothing else is happening.

100
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,320
Right.

101
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,920
So now, like I honestly really I am really excited, excited for like you to go and like

102
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,040
for you to like have like the experiences because like I did have that my first whenever

103
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,800
I first started, like coming to like the realization, I know this is going to be good for him.

104
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,800
It didn't take too long.

105
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Yeah.

106
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,680
But I was like, you know, like, actually, yeah, why don't you say like, well, like there's

107
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,000
there was another reason why.

108
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Yeah.

109
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,480
I mean, I think it would create disciplines.

110
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:45,760
I mean, did I lack in like areas like financial, mental, spiritual and physical.

111
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160
I feel like I need work in all those areas.

112
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,560
I mean, I'm really strong spiritually, but I can be stronger.

113
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Like you don't just stop growing like that's one of my favorite things you always say is

114
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:03,800
like you as as a Christian and as a non-Christian, both of us types of people, we should be always

115
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,120
looking to grow, keep growing, keep keep going.

116
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,880
One percent like I how I mean, me and Thomas talked about it in one of the episodes.

117
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,880
One percent.

118
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,480
I feel like you should try to do one percent every day to grow better.

119
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Or that's in everything, so like if it's reading a little bit more or doing more push ups or

120
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:31,680
doing sit ups or walking or if it's giving the dog something to play on or whatever you're

121
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880
doing to do more progressive, like whatever you can.

122
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Or if you're training your dog to do more stuff or training your cat or whatever, just

123
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:46,320
to be more into a forward march type of like you want to be heading forward.

124
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,800
You don't want to be going backwards.

125
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
So you want to be growing.

126
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Yeah, that's good.

127
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,120
I wanted to I want to keep this on the topic of purpose.

128
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,320
I could take that what you said a couple of different ways.

129
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Yeah.

130
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:12,280
But no, I really think that you taking all of you really realizing, OK, yeah, there's

131
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,800
areas I know I need to grow in.

132
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Yeah.

133
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Oops.

134
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,800
I'm just going to put the arrow in.

135
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,800
I can edit that out.

136
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,880
It'll be easy anyway.

137
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:29,080
But there's you taking you realizing it and taking responsibility for it.

138
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,120
And one of the things you kind of said, this might not be word for word, so you can correct

139
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,120
me.

140
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,120
But the what the what the at least the impression I got was like, I have I'm having a hard time

141
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960
being disciplined and doing these things on my own.

142
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,920
I'm going to go somewhere that they're going to force it in me.

143
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,960
Well, yeah, I believe that's one of the best thing about being anywhere where there's good

144
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,960
leadership.

145
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:52,960
Yeah.

146
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,880
They don't give you the option to fail.

147
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Like it's what the army does.

148
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,320
Like I've seen it in my brother, I've seen it in my sister, I've seen it in my family.

149
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720
It's where they don't give you the option to fail.

150
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,840
Like they're going to push you through the hardest stuff, but they love and care about

151
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,840
you.

152
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,880
So they're going to make sure you get through it, whatever it takes.

153
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,880
Yeah.

154
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,360
And that means extra push ups because you're not listening or if that means like more care

155
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,320
and love because you are becoming the person that they want you to become, which is a better

156
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,520
leader, better soldier, a better person.

157
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,520
Yeah.

158
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:32,800
And like I I want to say, like, just do the listener, like I said, you always have to

159
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200
go somewhere where it's going to force you to ultimately change.

160
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,200
Yeah.

161
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120
And it's a very drastic thing, it is a drastic thing to do.

162
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Yeah.

163
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,440
But like it's not bad as long as it's going as long as you believe it's going to change

164
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,120
you in the positive sense.

165
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:55,360
Like this is going to be a very great growth, growth, like a growth conduit for me because

166
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,680
like you said, like you said, like you're saying, like I'm having like the realization

167
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,760
you have, like I'm having a hard time doing this on my own.

168
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,480
And we have also talked about it in the past, like how you've I feel like we talked about

169
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000
maybe talked about military but with you before in the past.

170
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Yeah, not sure on the podcast, but like because like you've mentioned, you mentioned about

171
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,200
like financial situations, stuff like that.

172
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,600
And I think that was more in our last series that we were talking about that.

173
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,680
But yeah, honestly, I don't really have too much more.

174
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,880
Is there anything like on this topic anyway?

175
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Is there anything like specific that you want to like, for people to know or anything like

176
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,160
that?

177
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,360
Yeah, I would tell them, whatever God puts in your hand, make sure that you're able to

178
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,200
do God's will and make sure that you're able to live out your calling, your purpose.

179
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,920
So do whatever it takes.

180
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,320
If that means working a crappy job you don't like, remember that that crappy job is leading

181
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,120
you to your dream and purpose.

182
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,680
If that means going to somewhere it's going to make you better as a leader and discipline,

183
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,160
do do it.

184
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,680
Because why it's going to help you in the long run to become who God calls you to be

185
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,160
and get your purpose in your in your job.

186
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,720
So it's like a perspective shift.

187
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:24,600
So like, whatever God has given you or gives you the open opportunity or door and go through

188
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,520
that door and be happy for you because it's going to lead you to where you're meant to

189
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
be and what you're meant to do in life.

190
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,920
So yeah, that would be that's what I got for you guys.

191
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,360
Yeah, no man, that's good.

192
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Like do whatever you need to do to pursue the calling that you feel like God's put on

193
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,440
your life.

194
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,440
Yeah.

195
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,000
And even if it sucks.

196
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Yes.

197
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Even if it sucks, man, like it feels like I'm personally not a huge person that I'm

198
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,760
not like, I'm not the poster child for change.

199
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,320
Like, it's like I believe I know change is good.

200
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360
But change is it sucks.

201
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,320
Sometimes for like for me, it's like for me, it like it hurt for me.

202
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,320
I'm like, this is bad.

203
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,320
This is weird.

204
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480
That's my initial response.

205
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,240
And but even though they do die, like, yeah, this is a good thing that's going to be happening.

206
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Like this is this is going to like this thing could can grow me.

207
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Yeah, but like, I feel like making a but sometimes that's what you need to do.

208
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Like and whether you like it or not, like, oh, right now I like this is a very rudimentary

209
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,080
example, but this is also happening right now.

210
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,680
Like as Sean's moving out, I'm moving out of this moving out and then moving on to the

211
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:43,840
next season of his life.

212
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,880
I'm moving out of the place where I live right now to to move in with our friend Silas.

213
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,560
And I've been in the same place for five years and I don't want to move.

214
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,560
Right.

215
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:00,720
I'm moving out because I have a I believe I have a calling in my life that takes a certain

216
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,600
financial incentive to take a certain financial requirement.

217
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,200
It has a certain cost to this course I want to take.

218
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:16,040
And like so my want to fulfill my comp want to continuously pursue my calling is greater

219
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,840
than my want to stay where I'm at.

220
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,160
They want the greater that I want to not change.

221
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,440
And I think that's powerful.

222
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Yeah.

223
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,280
And I feel like that God's going to bless you so much.

224
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Thomas, you're going to be super excited when you're when your calling starts and you're

225
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,880
like because you already started, you know, I mean, you already have the mindset of it.

226
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,240
And it's just going to be like when God blesses you financially and you're able to just do

227
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,080
all your classes and finish those and and start where God wants you.

228
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,760
It's going to be terrific.

229
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Yeah.

230
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640
And I think well, I think that's one thing.

231
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,120
I believe I'm right where God wants me to be right now.

232
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,120
Yeah, absolutely.

233
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:03,720
And like I everything lined up so well for me to go to the live with Silas with his last

234
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,960
roommate moving out when he did and my this lease ending what it does like and just from

235
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,200
like Andrew, who are who's been on the podcast before, like letting us know like letting

236
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,160
both Silas and I know that we were like, hey, Thomas is looking for a place to live.

237
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Hey, Silas has an open room.

238
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,600
Like there is just a all these things that's like we're lined up.

239
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,400
And if I wasn't talking about Andrew, it's about my goals.

240
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200
He's holding me accountable for them.

241
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Like if I wasn't doing all if these things weren't lined up, this change wouldn't be

242
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,600
happening and it's all happening because I'm pursuing it's all happening.

243
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,120
It was all even like presented to me because of me pursuing my goal.

244
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,120
Yeah.

245
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,840
So I'm like, this is meant to happen.

246
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,640
And like I it sucks to move.

247
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,440
I don't think anybody would say like taking all your stuff and moving it from one place

248
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,720
to another is a fun thing.

249
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,440
And everybody hates moving.

250
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,600
But like there's some people that, you know, love like not being in one place.

251
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,080
Like I feel like there's like that people like the know there's some people that love

252
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,720
the nomad lifestyle and that's not me.

253
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120
Yeah, it's not me either, bro.

254
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:19,120
But like that at the same time, like if God is where God calls me to and it's like, hey,

255
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,960
this is what I'm calling you to in order to fulfill the calling that I put on your life,

256
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,960
the thing I'm calling you towards, then that's what I'm going to do even though initially

257
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,760
is going to suck.

258
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Yeah.

259
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,760
But no.

260
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,960
But with all that said, guys, like I want to just say to you directly in case it wasn't

261
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:44,960
clear like, like whenever you discover something, we talked about it, I think with with Meg,

262
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,360
which you won't hear that episode for a while.

263
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,760
So apologies.

264
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:55,160
But we talked about how like, dude, I just lost it.

265
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:02,480
We talked we we talked about how your purpose, it purpose to come to the calling whenever

266
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,640
it's bigger than whenever it's bigger than you.

267
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,240
Yeah, your career becomes calling whenever it's bigger than you.

268
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760
And that's what I believe is happening with me right now.

269
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Like you're with my want to like if your want to change is stronger than your want to stay

270
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,440
the same, then you know that you're working towards something good.

271
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,440
And I believe that's your calling.

272
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Easily, easily agree.

273
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,800
Freaked out for a second.

274
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:35,920
But no, no, with all that said, I want to move on to a separate segment of this episode

275
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,560
since we're talking about purpose and the future and changes.

276
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,400
We're going to also tell you guys about the future of technically short.

277
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,400
And if you didn't listen through all the way, I guess you're going to miss out if you already

278
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,400
dropped off.

279
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Now I'm not talking to anybody because the because that person dropped off.

280
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:03,160
But anyway, but anyway, with Sean moving on in a season, we have right now we have episodes

281
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,760
recorded out to about April and mid April right now.

282
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,200
And the plan right now is for me to find some co-hosts.

283
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,720
While Sean's in basic and isn't able to get to a computer.

284
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,320
So if you want to be a co-host, hit me up doesn't mean you'll be one, but like hit me up if

285
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,400
you want to be one and we can have a we can talk and have a discussion.

286
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,920
And I might also reach out to a few people.

287
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,480
I'm going to reach out to a few people as well and try to get some guest co-hosts on

288
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,480
here.

289
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Hopefully not always the same one to keep the keep the conversations fresh.

290
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,680
And maybe I'll end up doing one by myself.

291
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,680
Who knows?

292
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,680
I think it's gonna be great.

293
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,680
I'm excited.

294
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,760
That was the next step to plan B is the plan.

295
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Plan A is for whenever Sean's out of basic for us to get into a groove of doing things

296
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:03,080
remotely using this application called Riverside that we use for Peter and we use for you'll

297
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,640
see in a future for a Q's episode.

298
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:16,600
And we would use that software in order to record the remote sessions.

299
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,160
And if that ends up not working out that ends up not making sense, then I'm going to take

300
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,960
the podcast forward and most likely do a rebrand.

301
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,280
I think I'm man like I said, I'll be excited for whatever, whatever happens.

302
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,720
I really hope I'm able to get a computer.

303
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,720
We sneak in some.

304
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,720
But I'm excited for God.

305
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Where God's going to take you brother.

306
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,720
I know it's going to be great.

307
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,720
And you got great things to store to you.

308
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,720
And God's going to just give you a little bit of a break.

309
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,720
And I'm excited for that.

310
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,720
I'm excited for that.

311
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,720
I'm excited for that.

312
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,880
Just to sort of you and God's going to just continue to bless it.

313
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,840
And our podcast is literally being graced by God.

314
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,720
So I appreciate all you listeners.

315
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,540
We love you guys and keep up the support.

316
00:19:56,540 --> 00:19:58,400
Things may change, but it's going to be amazing.

317
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,400
Yep.

318
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,400
And that's what we're talking about this whole time.

319
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,200
Change isn't always bad.

320
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:11,140
I love the thing, you'll hear me say it later in April, but maybe I don't remember, but

321
00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:17,580
said it at some point, but there, like, I've heard it said before, everybody wants change,

322
00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:18,580
but nobody wants to change.

323
00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:19,580
That's facts.

324
00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:24,300
So if you want things to change, you got to change yourself.

325
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,820
So and there's like, and what does that have to do with anything with podcasts?

326
00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:32,380
Not really much, but that was popping up in my head.

327
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:34,940
But also change is about moving forward.

328
00:20:34,940 --> 00:20:35,940
Yeah.

329
00:20:35,940 --> 00:20:37,980
It's about moving forward as seasons change.

330
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:42,020
There's a I don't know remember which so it's the last one says it, but he says you never

331
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:43,500
step in the same river twice.

332
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,740
Because it keeps moving.

333
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:48,340
Yep, the river the water is constantly flowing.

334
00:20:48,340 --> 00:20:54,020
So the constantly flowing and so like, that could be, I don't need to dive into that.

335
00:20:54,020 --> 00:21:01,700
But like, because I could I could take that and play the different direction.

336
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:02,700
Go in the weeds.

337
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:07,580
But like, yeah, I never end up in the same river twice, like life changes around you.

338
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:10,500
So like, and you change.

339
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:12,660
So whether you like it or not, you change with it.

340
00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:14,660
You know, for the good or bad.

341
00:21:14,660 --> 00:21:16,460
Yep, you get to choose.

342
00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:18,580
So yeah, guys.

343
00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:21,420
Honestly, I think that's a good place.

344
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:24,060
This is a short episode, but I expected it to be.

345
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:25,060
That was really good.

346
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:27,260
But this is definitely a good one for sure.
