0:58

The storm is over them. I'm talking like,

1:00

oh, we're dead. So they run down and

1:02

they go, do you not worry about our

1:04

life? And he says, what little faith do

1:06

you guys have? They just watched him do

1:08

a bunch of miracles, but they're still doubting

1:10

him. That's us. We know we're with God,

1:13

but we still doubt him. Jesus looks at

1:15

the waves and he goes, shh,

1:17

be still. And the water just goes, shh, so

1:19

still that Jesus goes and he stands on the

1:21

water. And then he says, Peter, come. So he

1:23

comes, puts his feet out there and then he

1:25

comes closer and he comes closer. Then all of

1:27

a sudden he hears thunder. He's scared. He took

1:29

his eyes off of Jesus for one second and

1:31

he sunk underwater. And Jesus was close enough to

1:33

grab him and pull him out. If you're in

1:35

a storm, it sucks. But why not stand on

1:37

top of the storm? And the only way you

1:39

could do that is by having your eyes focused

1:41

on God so he could tell that storm that

1:44

you think is too wild. Shh,

1:47

your creator is here. Pipe down. It's

1:50

not often I sit down with somebody

1:52

and they say something that makes me

1:54

think, this was

1:58

great. I love you back. No, no,

2:00

no, no, no, no! But you did me something to think about.

2:02

It's not my own damn way! I had a lot of fun

2:04

or anything. Any of

2:06

the traveling stories? We were in

2:08

Canada. Yeah, I do. So I just

2:11

kind of want to, before we get into this, like

2:13

I don't know if you guys remember

2:15

that I got the Apple

2:17

Pro Visions. Oh, yeah. And so while I

2:19

was traveling, I was not with them. You

2:23

just see me at the airport like this. This

2:25

is the worst thing. Listen,

2:29

I didn't think technology like that existed

2:31

yet. It's quite

2:33

impressive. It really is. You

2:35

could have so many things running. It's so clear.

2:37

You could have it where you're seeing people walk

2:39

by you, or you could just be taking

2:42

a poop on top of the mountain, and you could

2:44

literally feel like you're on top of the mountain. It's

2:46

that episode of Rick and Morty where he's pooping and

2:48

it's out in the field and it's beautiful. It

2:51

really felt like that. And so there are so many

2:53

cool things about it, but my favorite part about it

2:55

is when I was traveling. I hate traveling, right? When

2:57

you're in an airport like this for so long, but

3:00

man, you put those on, you're somewhere else.

3:02

And the environment they set you in, if

3:05

you're watching something from Disney Plus, you're in

3:07

the Disney Castle, or you're in the Avengers

3:09

lobby. It's sick. And

3:13

that's kind of the problem. I

3:15

did return it. They're

3:18

gone. They didn't make the cut.

3:20

And I'll tell you why. I got real lonely in

3:22

there, man. It's not as cool

3:24

when you're just buying your phones. You're literally putting

3:26

a phone over your face. And I got exhausted.

3:29

I don't know if anybody, I want you guys

3:31

to comment down if you guys have the Apple

3:33

Visions, but it would tire me out really quick.

3:36

I don't know if it's because it's like my eyes are

3:38

like. Well, because you have to focus your eyes on everything.

3:41

I don't know. And we noticed

3:43

that early on, he was walking and he seemed

3:45

to really drain them. I thought about it in

3:47

my head and didn't say anything. And then he

3:49

said, dude, I feel like those Apple Visions made

3:51

me tired. I'm like, OK, good. It

3:54

makes sense. It just drains you. We have to

3:56

put up a picture of Georgie though on the

3:58

plane wearing his Apple Visions. Twizzler

4:04

And you just get up and then go to the bathroom and

4:06

just walk down the aisles with this huge thing on your face

4:08

Bro, just like everybody there was this one

4:10

dude that was cracking up He was looking at

4:12

George you walking like down the aisles and he

4:14

was dying laughing There's some people that didn't think I could

4:16

see them and I'll just be at the

4:18

airport like just kind of like watching So cuz you can't

4:21

see your eyes through it. It's like a blue light. You

4:23

look like a cyborg Yeah, like it looks like you're in

4:25

another place Also

4:31

with the something similar to that is to have

4:33

you guys heard about Neuralink the

4:35

most recent update on it. We've talked about neuralink on

4:38

the show before the Elon

4:41

Musk's thing where their brain implants They're

4:44

starting off with I crazy that we're talking. It's

4:46

crazy. This is even a conversation Yes, but there's

4:48

an even crazier update. So this so the goal

4:51

for it at first is at least to help

4:54

People with disabilities like let's

4:56

imagine you're I don't

4:58

know what the exact Use For

5:02

it is but like if somebody's blind or something I think it can

5:04

tap into a part of your brain and help with things that Need

5:07

help with which is incredible the first person

5:09

to get it implanted explosive

5:19

No, it was a success

5:21

and somebody can use

5:23

a Mouse

5:25

clicker and control it just through thought Just

5:29

thought but what did they click this with a

5:31

clicking on the web page? And why it's like where they saw

5:33

it's wait, do they wait

5:35

what so wait wait? What they can move a

5:37

computer mouse with their thoughts if they're looking at

5:40

a computer But dude Apple just did that with

5:42

their eyes, you know, I mean like a little light

5:44

you just like, you know But

5:46

this is your brain. Yeah, but that I don't

5:48

have to get surgery for this. I could just

5:50

look at it It'll are we so yeah,

5:53

this is just the start. This is just the start. This is just

5:55

the start That's gonna be used Are

6:00

we so lazy we can't like you know this

6:03

is for disabled people. Yeah, what the

6:05

what's wrong? We're

6:09

not cutting this no matter how many times you

6:11

look like a genie we're not cutting this are

6:13

you kidding Georgie? I didn't realize on on

6:15

wait hold on I think that's

6:17

the the first start for it, but there's no way

6:20

that your first cut you've ever wanted your life was

6:22

that Yeah, you

6:24

we talked about you flooding the toilet in the hotel.

6:26

We talked about you you Love it. Let's bring up

6:28

all the things Like

6:33

me say something me about I didn't but that was that's

6:35

incredible Yeah, you can't don't have the ability to look at

6:37

it. Look at her switching sides Well,

6:40

since we're speaking a little smack on people,

6:42

this isn't speaking smack. This is just something

6:44

that happened It was funny. We got back

6:47

from Canada and a

6:49

few days later was gonna be Valentine's Day, right? And

6:52

you know, I mean You

6:55

could tell them I don't care what how I feel

6:57

about Valentine's Day. Oh, yeah, Georgia doesn't like have a huge

6:59

care for all You

7:02

don't give a shoot shoot, I don't care

7:04

I hate when people tell me how I should

7:06

be emotionally with my yeah, and also too

7:08

for me It's because if he was if he wasn't

7:11

this way and I would say this would be an

7:13

issue But it's not but it's truly

7:15

he makes so many days like Valentine's He's always

7:17

wanting to like plan special things or have a

7:19

special day or do something fun Like it's not

7:21

like he just waits for that one time a

7:23

year on Valentine's day You know, so it's also

7:26

like I don't care because I'd rather

7:28

have that then like, you know one special Valentine's

7:30

Day Anyways, but even though we

11:16

11:18

11:20

at her window just presses over you're

11:23

a liar I go

11:25

I believed in you like and to

11:27

me was just like you gotta call them out

11:29

yeah you don't have a mirror them you

11:31

11:34

you used a beautiful elegant

11:36

grandmother that doesn't exist how

11:38

do you know she's beautiful every grandmother is

11:40

beautiful it was just the way

11:42

she was like there is no

11:44

grandma like speaking of drama Dana

11:57

white bro Oh was on

12:00

the Howie Mendel show and

12:02

got up within like 30

12:05

seconds to the intro. Something was going on there.

12:08

I have an idea and I wanted to talk

12:10

to you about that. My theory is this. Now

12:13

I don't know for a fact, this is just from

12:15

an audience perspective. Dana

12:18

White was introduced

12:20

as a guest but made it seem

12:22

like, oh we didn't know this was

12:25

happening and as a host, I

12:27

would never express that to the

12:29

audience. What made you think that? Because I

12:31

was putting myself in his shoes and I

12:33

also was putting myself in the shoes of

12:35

the host. And if I am hosting somebody

12:38

on my show, I would never belittle their

12:40

time and say, oh this was unexpected. It's

12:42

like, bro, he's a very busy man. You

12:44

don't make it seem like you're

12:47

just taking this fly ball. And then he

12:49

partnered up that episode with another guest with

12:51

all respects to that other guest. I don't

12:53

know who that other guest is. I do

12:55

know who Dana White is. So for you

12:58

to put a guest that we

13:00

might not know with him and they're sharing the

13:02

limelight, especially if he didn't know this, I feel

13:04

like he's disrespectful. It's kind of like, oh we'll

13:06

make it work. Come sit down and

13:09

you just belittled his time and his

13:11

efforts. I feel like that's what happened.

13:13

I could be completely wrong. Yeah, I

13:15

feel like it's all speculation but all I

13:17

know is I watched the clip and as soon as

13:19

it cuts to, because Howie does this intro for him,

13:21

as soon as it cuts to Dana, you

13:23

just look at his eyes. He's pissed. He's

13:26

pissed and it kind

13:28

of looks like something might have happened before they

13:30

hit record. I don't know if there was altercation

13:33

or if maybe Dana was told

13:35

last minute, hey, just so

13:38

you know, there's going to be another guest on with you.

13:40

That's what I'm going at. Yeah. Like

13:42

to me, you don't want to sit there. He was, yeah. He was

13:44

not happy. I don't know. I just

13:46

felt like maybe that I could be completely wrong. But I

13:48

thought it was funny because he's like, yeah, I'm done doing

13:50

podcasts. And we were literally talking to somebody and getting them

13:52

on. And I'm like, where did it go, Howie, bro? It's

13:55

for everybody. I really wanted Dana

13:57

White on and now I don't think he's going to be

13:59

doing it. he does do is probably only do it

14:01

for the full send which circling back to full send

14:04

I wanted to uh uh say uh shout out

14:06

to Kyle. Kyle was uh you know one

14:09

of the sweet people that reached out to me and he was like hey

14:11

man I really like your show I like what you're doing and

14:13

uh I like it when somebody who's very

14:16

successful in their field could reach out and tell

14:18

somebody else like hey I think you're doing really

14:20

well and I've never really hung out

14:22

with Kyle too much and it surprised me I didn't think

14:24

he was gonna be that type of guy I thought he

14:26

might be a competitor and like oh we're not going to do

14:28

that but he wanted to be on the show we planned on

14:30

doing it I think that's still in the works but uh

14:33

I really liked it so the next time that

14:35

they posted I was you know kind of now

14:37

that I know that they're rooting for me I

14:39

was like what do you guys got going on

14:41

and they had Dana White on uh with this

14:43

guy named Bobby crazy right is this Bobby yeah

14:46

so it is Bobby right yeah I heard him said

14:48

Bobby man because I didn't know I didn't know who

14:50

Bobby was I didn't even know Bobby I know he

14:52

started the podcast with full set and

14:55

I know he was doing like a really really good job

14:57

and then I also know that they were having a falling

14:59

out and no disrespect to them I truly just wasn't just

15:01

I'm not a viewer I'm not an audience member I know

15:04

that they got a lot of cool things going on I

15:06

just I wasn't really caught up in the drama I've

15:11

not I haven't watched full send podcasts

15:13

I haven't I watched the Andrew Schultz

15:15

one when all of that drama was

15:18

happening that's the one you watched yeah because everybody was

15:20

talking about it so I really want to watch yeah

15:22

I'm super comfortable yeah but I got to say man

15:24

that episode I watched it twice

15:26

I watched the podcast twice twice I'll

15:29

tell you why first time

15:31

I watch other podcasts I don't watch podcasts here's

15:33

the reason why I don't watch other podcasts no

15:35

disrespect to full send I don't want

15:37

to mimic them I have my

15:39

own thing going on so I feel like

15:42

if I watch podcasts I'll like I'll try

15:44

to you like accidentally I'll mimic things and

15:46

like the way their tone is or I'll

15:48

get influenced by something so I tend

15:50

not to watch anybody else's podcasts just so

15:52

I can stay focused on mine no disrespect

15:54

to them you don't want to crowd your

15:56

like artistic vision and yeah what's up guys

15:58

18:47

a debate with two people Just saying

18:49

like fuck you. Fuck you like whoa.

18:51

Whoa. Whoa your language. Sorry Yeah, it's

18:53

19:02

like regardless of how you feel of any of

19:04

them right they still put it up Yeah, man,

19:06

19:28

why I just the way that they were dealing

19:30

with the pressure I just know that like damn

19:32

if you can handle it that comfortably You're probably

19:34

really good at working and you've probably dealt with

19:36

a lot of bad things where you're so calm under

19:38

pressure So I just wanted to

19:40

you know shout out and give my flowers off to

19:42

19:55

of pockets. Thanks, Howie. Thanks, Howie

19:58

Um, I have the comments We

20:00

were talking about hmm and

20:03

there was a comment that was written

20:05

down and this gentleman asked he goes

20:07

hey I'm not I'm not understanding Luke

20:11

1425 do you want me to read the full comment?

20:13

Yeah for people's context. Yeah, please also

20:15

say his name, too Absolutely. Oh,

20:17

well their their username. I

20:19

don't think they list their name, but

20:22

their username is P

20:24

sparkles and they actually

20:26

donated $50 which is sick and

20:29

they said Hey George, I'm reading the book

20:31

of Luke and I'm currently a little confused and wanted to

20:33

maybe get your opinion I don't know if you're even going

20:35

to read this but in Luke 14 25 to 32 I'm

20:39

not understanding what Jesus was talking about in that

20:41

section Could you maybe give your opinion on it

20:43

in another episode? Love your content and I've been

20:45

watching for about two or three weeks and it's

20:47

absolutely changed my life in my view on so

20:49

many things Thank you so much Thank

20:52

you for that comment. Thank you for the 50 bucks.

20:54

Also, you don't need to do that We're not we're

20:56

not gonna be searching for who pays. I just thought

20:58

that was a it was a tough question I actually

21:00

had to get help on answering that question So I

21:02

thought it would be a challenge for

21:04

me And so I read that scripture and just to you

21:07

know paraphrase and go through it. It's

21:09

when he's explaining You

21:11

know picking up your cross and being a disciple and

21:14

if you're new to Christianity and you don't

21:17

really understand how Jesus speaks He speaks with

21:19

a lot of hyperbole metaphors Parables

21:22

he uses extreme conversations to

21:24

you know Explain things

21:26

like for example if he says if your right

21:28

hand is gonna cost you sin It's better for

21:30

you to cut it off and throw it into

21:32

the fire than your whole body and he's explaining

21:34

hell and how you shouldn't It's

21:36

a very tough But he's obviously not saying cut

21:39

your arm off because he says respect your temple

21:41

and so I read this at and

21:43

to summarize he's explaining what it's like to

21:45

pick up your cross and That

21:48

is indicating to be crucified. It's a lot of pain

21:50

to be a disciple you have to really plan this

21:52

and He says and I think

21:54

this is where he gets kind of confused.

21:56

He goes you must hate your father hate

21:58

your mother your children and

22:01

hate yourself and then you'll be able

22:03

to be like a disciple of

22:05

mine and when I read that I understood he was

22:08

going by but I was like this is a really

22:10

hard thing to explain so I got on the phone

22:12

with Cliff and I go Cliff how do I explain

22:14

to like somebody that he's

22:16

explaining that you have to put

22:18

him first and

22:20

he goes the measurement for your love for

22:24

Christ versus your love

22:26

for your mom would be compared as

22:28

hatred that's what he's trying to explain

22:30

to you so he's using a hyperbole

22:33

here he's using an extreme measurement and

22:35

then he uses three examples that will

22:37

then reflect what he means here so

22:40

what he says is if you're building

22:43

a tower would you start by starting

22:45

the foundation and start building up and

22:47

then realize you don't have enough money

22:49

to finish this or would you start

22:51

by calculating your moves and then

22:53

he says and if you're a king and you're about to go to war would

22:55

you send millions to their war without

22:57

calculating where you're gonna go with this or

23:00

would you plan the attack plan if this

23:02

is good for the people and basically he's

23:04

explaining the foundation of it so let me

23:06

circle back to the hating of the mother

23:08

or father my

23:11

mom used to raise me and say this all the time

23:13

you will never love me more than you love God and

23:15

when I was a little boy she used to tuck me

23:17

in I go mom but do you

23:19

love me more than you love God because you said

23:22

you love me more than anything and she says I'll

23:24

never love you more than God how can I love

23:26

you more than God when God gave you me get

23:29

I'm saying you can't love the gift more than the

23:31

gift giver and you can't love created

23:34

things more than the creator and so

23:36

she's she's put this line of respect

23:38

and I feel like in a society

23:40

it's very hard to separate things but

23:43

the reason why he says you must hate

23:45

your mother and you hate your father but remember he says

23:47

you must honor your mother and father so it gets a

23:49

little complicated but what he's saying is sometimes when you follow

23:52

him and you pick up your cross a

23:54

lot of homes get divided a lot

23:56

of people get divided are

23:58

you in love with me to the point where you

24:01

will turn away from the world, you

24:03

will turn away from your parents if

24:05

your parents are leading you not in

24:07

the way of Christ. And that's a

24:09

hard conversation. And he's explaining to his

24:11

disciples, right? So if you're a

24:13

disciple of God, you cannot be a disciple

24:15

of God and honor your father the same

24:18

way that you honor your father in heaven.

24:21

It is an oxymoron. You can never

24:23

do this because your father is full

24:25

of sin and full of poor choices

24:27

because he's a human being. So you

24:29

can never honor your father the same

24:31

way that you honor your heavenly father.

24:33

And when you understand, he's explaining your

24:35

foundation. Now if you are a

24:37

true disciple of Christ, the furthest thing

24:39

you're going to do is hate your mother and father.

24:42

But he's saying the separation difference should look

24:44

like hatred. Like if you really,

24:46

at the grand scheme of things, if you would

24:48

see how much you love your mom and dad,

24:51

say it's a crazy amount, then

24:53

it should be way more that

24:55

you love your God because your

24:57

God provided that family for you.

24:59

So to be a disciple is

25:01

to willingly and in hardest

25:04

circumstances willingly to

25:07

put God first. And as

25:09

a disciple, sometimes it's crucifixion feeling. It's

25:11

killing yourself. That's why he says you

25:13

even must hate yourself because

25:15

your own self is going to pull you

25:17

away from God. Your own flesh, your own

25:20

desires, your own point of view, your own

25:22

life, your own circumstances, your own surroundings, your

25:24

own environments. All of that is far away

25:26

from God. So if you really, really, really

25:28

want to be a disciple of God, in

25:30

this context, he's saying that I

25:33

have to be number one, number

25:35

two, and number three. And then maybe you

25:38

could have other things in your life. But

25:41

I just wanted to explain, and I hope I'm doing it

25:43

in a right way. This is my first time doing it. No,

25:45

beautifully explained. He's

25:49

not explaining you to hate your mother and father. If

25:51

your mom and dad, for example, I just want to

25:53

make this very clear, is far away

25:55

from Jesus Christ and he's saying you

25:58

must choose Jesus Christ first. Disciple

26:00

you should be encouraged to teach your parents

26:02

about Jesus Christ not throw them away and

26:04

you should only always honor them I'll give

26:06

you an example the way that I

26:08

work with my dad if my dad this is a this is

26:10

the best way that I explained it When

26:13

I was younger my dad did a wrong

26:16

thing you he's growing up as a father

26:18

He is his first son He's he's gonna

26:20

make mistakes and you once you realize that

26:22

your parents are you just older and they're

26:25

trying to figure it out You

26:27

got to give them grace It

26:29

takes off a lot of that anger that you have at

26:31

them if they made a mistake But

26:33

my dad made a mistake once and you know

26:37

He kind of got wild out with me and I

26:40

think it was out of fear he

26:43

was scared his son was gonna go down a path

26:45

and so he thought he would scared out of me

26:47

or disciplined it out of man and It

26:50

came to the conclusion my family was like

26:52

no George

26:54

senior in the house made the mistake and

26:56

Georgie actually This

26:58

time was not in the wrong.

27:01

So my mom came into my room and she

27:03

said You need to

27:05

go to your father and you need to fix this and

27:08

I looked at her and I said I need to

27:10

go to My father no, no, no, no, no, no My

27:13

father needs to come to me because

27:16

he did it wrong to me I

27:18

was in the right and my mom goes young

27:20

man You will

27:22

never disrespect your father that way He

27:25

made a mistake, but he's still above

27:27

you you go to him That's

27:30

the respect you go to

27:32

him and then you accept the apology You

27:35

don't have your father come to you that

27:37

breaks the order and balance He's

27:39

not gonna break his neck because he made a mistake Because

27:42

you don't count every single thing he's done,

27:44

right? And the one thing he does wrong you're

27:46

gonna treat your father differently than your father Your

27:48

father is still your father even when he's wrong to you

27:51

So my mom taught me there that

27:53

regardless There's still order to things

27:55

and God in this situation is

27:57

saying that I must be firm

27:59

first because your mom, your

28:02

dad, you and your surroundings will

28:04

fail. I will never fail.

28:07

Amen. Wow. Thank you. Nice. Thank

28:10

you. Whoever wrote that, thank

28:12

you. That was great. I

28:14

feel like I needed to hear that. People need to

28:17

hear that. God willing, I said that correctly. You

28:20

didn't know. I really truly think that it

28:23

was really well explained and you gave some

28:25

really good examples for that. I really

28:27

enjoyed the way you explained that. Thank you. Good

28:29

job, bro. There was actually somebody asked

28:32

a question and you kind of answered it a little

28:34

bit in the way of how you explained how you

28:36

prepared yourself for the

28:38

podcast and how you wanted God

28:40

to be in the room with you and so you prayed

28:42

before and somebody asked, it wasn't the questions I want to

28:45

make sure I'm not changing that question, but it kind of

28:47

goes back to that. I'm

28:50

falling in like, you know, my biggest fear is

28:52

like talking about got too much now that like

28:54

we found this like the

28:57

version of me behind closed doors. I

28:59

talk about God all the time and the like

29:02

how we talk about the full send, right? I could watch

29:04

it and I respect it because it's real. I think that's

29:06

what's happening with people on this show. They're

29:08

like, even comments are like, Oh, I don't even really believe

29:11

in God, but when he said this, it really touched me

29:13

and like, that's a blessing. And sometimes I get really insecure

29:15

and I'm like, Oh, I hope I'm not like overdoing

29:17

it to the point where people are like turned away

29:19

from him because I don't want to be, uh, I

29:22

don't, I don't, I don't want, I

29:24

don't want it to be doing it for the

29:26

views. I don't want to be doing it for

29:28

the monetizing versions of it. I want to do

29:30

it because it's really me and sometimes because I'm

29:32

also performing and being me, it's hard

29:34

to like understand, am I doing this because I'm

29:37

trying to perform it or am I doing this

29:39

because I'm trying to work on this and learn

29:41

from this? So I hope I'm

29:43

not bothering anybody and I pray that

29:46

I'm getting, uh, better. And I

29:48

pray that people that watch this episode

29:50

and the audience members that we have

29:52

understand that I'm growing and I

29:54

hope they grow with me and I'm going to be,

29:57

I'm going to be as vulnerable as possible. I'm in

29:59

a position. I never even dreamed that I would

30:01

be here. So sometimes I get scared that it's gonna

30:03

go away Yeah, of course your only human man. It's

30:05

so awesome dude, like I really like the fact that

30:07

I could just sit here and talk and and talk

30:09

about things that I'm working on and and it's This

30:13

is how I put bread on the table. Like

30:16

that's crazy I mean like there's not a day

30:18

that I wake up now and I'm like not

30:20

Abundantly grateful like I'm just it's so much overwhelming

30:22

sometimes. Actually, I want I wrote this down I

30:25

said I worry about my life all the time to the

30:27

point where it's like kind of bad But I was reflecting

30:29

on this and I asked God I go How do I

30:31

see this because fear should be a good thing? How do

30:33

I use fear in this good thing? Right, like I'm about

30:35

to go on a trip. This is a crazy

30:38

example, but this is really what I have in my heart

30:40

I'm I get really excited that

30:42

night I get on FaceTime with Justin Headman and

30:44

Kave right and we're always playing for tonight together

30:47

And to me that I know it sounds like always just

30:49

a video game But because we travel and work so much

30:51

that time It's so much fun because I'm

30:53

just in the moment with my friends and

30:55

then when I'm telling they always go Oh, is this the last game

30:57

before you go on a trip and it usually takes a bit Sometimes

31:00

I enjoyed so much that I go is this God forbid the last

31:02

time I play with them Like what if

31:04

have something so heavy what if something happened? Like

31:08

this about so many things. It's one of the

31:10

most endearing things about you But he truly always

31:12

thinks and I was thinking about this and I

31:14

go I do this a lot right like I

31:17

go What if something what if like this is my time

31:19

and God wants me back right and this

31:21

is the last time I play with them And

31:23

before I used to be like paranoid and in the

31:25

shack of it and now I'm just like well You

31:27

know, I'm ready to go at any

31:29

moment because I'm ready to meet my God So if

31:32

God forbid this is the last time I play for

31:34

it with them. Let me enjoy

31:36

it So I literally sit there now look

31:39

I will admit a psychopath thinking like this possibly might

31:41

be the last time I play the game so you

31:43

get you but you better win that I But

31:46

I enjoy it. Yeah, and I'm in the moment.

31:48

I'm not on my phone not listening to my

31:50

friend talking I'm like listening to him because I'm

31:52

like it doesn't sound cheesy because I'm like in

31:54

my mind I've committed the thought that if God

31:56

forbid this is the last one. How would I

31:58

be behaving right now? And so I

32:01

thought about it. Is it a bad thing to always

32:03

be worried about things? Because my mom

32:05

built me this way and I realized that I

32:07

enjoy life a little bit more than my friends

32:09

because I might Be a little paranoid, but I

32:12

enjoy it. So which means is like oh am

32:14

I? Paranoid and

32:16

overwhelming or am I truly

32:19

knowing the value of my day and Honoring

32:22

it for what it is. There was

32:24

a pastor and I that's it right

32:26

pastor. Yeah That he

32:29

said something I wish I remembered his name because this is

32:31

a beautiful message and I hope somebody could comment down because

32:33

I'm not trying to bite this message because it's a

32:35

beautiful message and I think God gave it to him

32:37

But I wanted to to restate this but he

32:40

goes uh, I Was

32:43

leaving my church all

32:45

the time and leaving my new child that

32:48

I felt Scared about I might be

32:50

butchering it, but I'm gonna count the best that I

32:52

remember and so what he would do to Give

32:55

his child excitement when he returned

32:57

home so she didn't think

32:59

of her dad leaving as a bad thing he would

33:02

bring a gift and the

33:04

third time that he brought a gift the

33:06

child's rent passed him and Went

33:08

straight to the bag. It was like daddy Where's my gift and

33:11

it broke his heart and he goes she just

33:13

passed by the gift giver To

33:16

go to the gift and he goes

33:18

it was that moment that I realized he goes consistency

33:21

sometimes is Where

33:23

we fail we get so comfortable like I would

33:25

always when I was growing up be like why

33:27

do my friends hurt me? Why do

33:29

they think they get talked to me the way they can

33:31

or treat me away? They can is because they know I'm

33:33

consistently with forgiven forgiving and

33:36

consistency would love and understanding their point of

33:38

view So they take advantage of my kindness

33:40

because I'm consistently good. So they'll

33:43

take advantage of it So sometimes good people would be

33:45

taken advantage of But

33:47

then he goes how many of you guys

33:49

this morning thanked God that the Sun went up today

33:53

He goes because if we woke up one day and the Sun didn't

33:55

come out all of us would be losing our mind

33:58

He goes, but how many of you guys? Truly today, thank

34:00

God that the sun went up. And.

34:05

I thought I was a beautiful thing because it

34:07

kind of goes hand in hand with my paranoia,

34:09

right? A paranoid look as of the

34:11

last time I'm playing fortnight. It. It's

34:13

closer to god then me. Just be like

34:15

auto care about this day at all. Let

34:17

move on. As you fearing that this

34:19

might be your last time with your loved

34:21

one is showing you how much you value

34:23

that. Time with them and I I

34:26

used to cry at the luggage ridiculously

34:28

like when I traveled. Nice to know

34:30

more than anything. outcry. All the time be

34:32

like I'm working so hard to. Represent.

34:34

My parents. As a nurseryman, you always want

34:36

to represent your parents or sonos top right.

34:38

How you behave is how you are reflecting

34:40

on your parents. Perfect.

34:43

So. Everything I do a my life is to honor my

34:45

mom and dad. But. Sometimes I

34:47

get so caught up in working that I have

34:50

freaking cry right there to that much. What if

34:52

God forbid my dad gets in a car accident

34:54

today and now everything I've ever done to build

34:56

up this dream with him. Is gone

34:59

and I didn't do anything for no reason. The

35:01

lucky the each is just gone like give is

35:03

pointless. And. So then I

35:05

came home all that honda. And

35:07

then I got to a place where I bought a

35:09

place right next to them and now I'm working on

35:11

bright next to them. But that would have never happened

35:14

if I didn't fear wasting time with. My parents is

35:16

there was a guy was on. Instagram. He

35:18

goes if you go home for the holidays.

35:20

Egos think about this view all ago. For

35:22

Christmas or Easter he goes seats two times

35:24

a year. He goes. you have another ten

35:27

years of your family. He goes twenty two

35:29

times is your parents. When he said this,

35:32

Ice or a bomb as I

35:34

can ask. So seer if you

35:36

use it correctly could blossom and

35:38

a beautiful. Thing just Sir Felix of your fear

35:40

you like a what can I had due to not

35:42

have this year anymore. Yeah and and you made ago

35:44

and now I made a go. Away because God

35:46

forbid if anything happens our all. I've

35:49

done everything I possibly. Can. To

35:51

make sure. That. I.

35:53

Was good to my parents and I spent

35:55

time in my parents and. I.

35:58

Think. This type of my. that

36:00

should carry out with your neighbors.

36:02

Because let me give you an example.

36:04

I will tell people, for example, I

36:06

have a close friend who's fighting with

36:08

her parents. And

36:11

I tell them the same thing that I

36:14

told other

36:16

people that fight with their parents. I go,

36:18

I had a next door neighbor

36:21

in Arizona. She was on the

36:23

phone with her dad when

36:25

a guy randomly road raged and pulled

36:27

out a gun. And she heard him

36:30

beg for his life. And

36:32

the guy killed him on the spot. And

36:35

so they're just, my mom doesn't understand,

36:37

or my dad's doing blah, blah, blah.

36:39

I'll just hear them out. And then

36:41

all I'll do is I say, one

36:44

day I came out in my front yard and I

36:46

saw this girl scream crying and I

36:48

told him the whole story. And I

36:50

go, that's a ridiculous thing to happen.

36:52

But that woman didn't wake up thinking

36:55

that day somebody was going to take

36:57

her father's life. So I want

36:59

you to really sit here and think, if you're fighting

37:01

with somebody you love, and somebody

37:03

else outside of your family and outside of your

37:05

life took them from you, is

37:09

that how you wanted to leave it off with them? Because

37:12

that every day is promised. Every

37:15

five seconds there's a car accident that's fatal.

37:19

Time is never promised. Is

37:22

what you're fighting with them worth

37:26

that being the last thing that you had with them?

37:31

Is it? And if

37:33

it isn't, dude,

37:35

you need to get your priorities straight. And

37:38

maybe you're the type of person that just likes to fight. But

37:41

the people that like to fight all the time, I

37:43

feel like they're greedy and they

37:45

don't really appreciate what they have. I

37:48

really, really don't. So if you're fighting with somebody, I

37:50

don't know why we got into this topic. I'm so

37:52

sorry, it got really dark. But if you're fighting with

37:54

somebody And

37:58

you're Christ-like, remember? The scripture

38:00

doesn't say be a peace. Keeper.

38:05

Gonna say that. It's. As be

38:07

a peace. Maker. And.

38:10

A maker. Will. Make

38:12

it work. A keeper will

38:14

just be like or they come to me and

38:17

day and they want to work the south and

38:19

all workers humble yourself. Off

38:21

as I think you fantasize way of

38:23

with some before when you're answering the

38:25

question about the luke first and at

38:28

remembering the your parents are just human

38:30

and they make mistakes and the of

38:32

course you know has different circumstance different

38:34

situation. Some parents you know might sell

38:36

you a little greater than others but

38:38

I think for the most part don't

38:40

forget all the amazing incredible things that

38:43

your parents have done for you when

38:45

maybe they have the know One thing

38:47

that her you are that slipped up

38:49

like largest humans have a cigarette. Own

38:51

little time to do the best that they

38:53

can, I think. When you're arguing with

38:56

somebody. If. Use if you're

38:58

only thinking you're from your point of view,

39:00

you have to take that. The.

39:02

The Beagle A What I'm saying. This

39:04

is your selfish. If

39:07

if you're only thinking about how you

39:09

feel. Yourself. As you

39:11

really. Isn't a you're looking at somebody you.

39:13

Love and you're not considering their point of use

39:15

up all. The

39:17

you might not even deserve that relationship And

39:20

I have to say this: I hope. Hopefully

39:23

help somebody but God give

39:25

this. But. Like a good

39:27

father and you don't treat something right he take

39:29

is. So. Really? Really?

39:32

Be careful how you're treating. The blessings has

39:34

given you. Truly. Don't.

39:37

Be the example that he uses for

39:39

you. for other people, Because.

39:42

He'll get his way out of it no matter

39:44

what. Don't. Be the example. Don't.

39:47

Be the example does my biggest fear I

39:49

was always scared of the gods example of

39:51

like. A This is what

39:53

happened. I'm into mobile. I don't have your me,

39:55

I'm elected us. Are you The reader? comments. Yes,

40:00

Elmo 729 asked, how do you enter a

40:02

room with God first? How

40:08

do I enter a room with God first? Oh, well, I

40:10

thought I would tie perfectly back into how you used it to for

40:12

your. Yeah. Yeah, this is beautiful. First

40:15

of all, great question. How do I invite

40:17

God into a room? God's

40:20

a gentleman. So

40:23

he just wants to be a part of it when you want him to be a part of it. I

40:25

think of him as like my dad and my

40:28

dad is always wanting to be a part of

40:30

my things, but he doesn't want to over, you

40:32

know, overstep because he wants me to be my

40:34

own man and do my own things, make my

40:36

own choices. The biggest blessing and sadly,

40:38

the biggest curse is we have free will. So

40:41

sometimes we forget that you got

40:43

this is the best way that I could put this. God

40:46

is a gentleman knocking at your door.

40:49

The devil is a burglar climbing

40:51

into your house without you knowing.

40:54

And he's in there and he's causing mayhem.

40:57

God's just, hey, let me in. There

41:01

can't be God and

41:04

Satan in the same room. They

41:06

can't. In the scripture, the devil

41:09

can't even say his name. If

41:11

you watch these gangster movies or ever have like a

41:13

gangster ass friend, gangster butt friend, they

41:16

say, say my name, bro. Say my name is

41:18

like this sign of dominance.

41:20

Like say my name and I'm going

41:23

to smack you up into pieces. Go

41:25

ahead. Say it. If you

41:27

have balls, say it. If you're a man,

41:29

say it. Okay. My

41:32

God's so mighty that the devil

41:34

can't even say his name. In

41:37

the scripture, whenever the devil is talking about him, he says

41:39

the holy one because

41:41

there's power in his name. Why

41:44

do you think people that don't even believe in God when they get

41:46

scared, they go, Jesus Christ. Why you

41:48

say my God's name, bro? You don't even believe in

41:50

him. It's because your spirit believes in him. And

41:53

just like a cat whose hair goes up or nails come out

41:55

when it's scared, your spirit acts up. And

41:58

Jesus Christ is there. If you don't, then you're scared. Believe

42:00

it or not, he's there. Okay. Now,

42:03

how do you invite him into a room? It's

42:06

by an invitation. God, I

42:08

invite you in this room. I want you

42:10

to be in this room. Please

42:12

be in this room. I beg you to

42:14

be in this room. Talk to him

42:16

like you talked to your father. Dad,

42:19

I know you're busy. I know you've got a lot of things on

42:21

your plate, but it would mean a lot to me if you could

42:23

show up here. I'm going to this interview for

42:25

this new job and quite frankly, I'm terrified. I don't know how

42:27

I'm going to speak. I don't know how I'm going to act.

42:29

I don't know how I'm going to be. I

42:31

know I'm nervous, but

42:34

I know that if my dad was there, I'd feel comfortable.

42:37

I feel safe. There was a time I was doing a

42:39

music video for

42:41

She's a Monster. Hilarious. I'm actually

42:43

going to cut around the day because I didn't want people to

42:45

follow. I did a music video when I was a kid. I

42:47

actually, you could watch out. Okay. But I did

42:50

a music video as a kid and this was my

42:52

second music video and I wanted to be very dramatic

42:54

and there's going to be action scenes. There's going to

42:56

be car chasing. There's going to be like

42:58

all this crap because the first one was a great hit.

43:00

I was taking the money that I made from that, which

43:02

is like 10 bucks. Then my dad was going to pay

43:04

for the rest and we're

43:07

going to make this amazing music video.

43:12

I'm there and this is the first time.

43:14

The first time we did it, small production.

43:17

Second time we did it, huge

43:19

production because my dad was smart before collaborating

43:21

was even a thing. My dad went out

43:23

and he grabbed new people from college. All

43:25

these people that were talented, he scoped them

43:27

out and he said, hey, you should do

43:29

this for my son. You need a

43:32

reel to show colleges what you're doing or your intern,

43:34

what are you doing? All pay for everything. You just

43:36

show me your talent. So it's a win-win. So

43:38

we're getting this huge production, but now my

43:40

dad just provided so much

43:42

as our God provides so much.

43:45

I'm walking in the room, I'm seeing hairdressers,

43:48

I'm seeing dress code people, I'm seeing PA,

43:50

I'm seeing director, I'm seeing all this. I'm a little

43:53

Georgie and I'm looking around and I'm like, oh my

43:55

God, I'm over. And all of a sudden I'm like,

43:57

oh my God, this is all for me. Oh my

43:59

God. prepare. Oh my god, do I remember

44:01

the dance routine? Do I have this? And I'm

44:03

just, oh, and I'm sorry, like I'm

44:06

panicking and all of a sudden I turned to

44:08

my right and my dad is unloading drinks for

44:10

people. And I'm

44:12

just seeing him unload drinks and

44:15

I could

44:18

breathe because I remembered in

44:20

that moment I go, regardless of what

44:22

happens, my father is here. My

44:25

dad is here. He will

44:27

never let me fail. He has

44:29

my back. If I

44:32

fail, we'll fail together and

44:34

we'll see our way out because my

44:36

father is here. And I

44:38

think that moment meant a lot to me because

44:40

that's the best way that I could explain my

44:43

relationship with God. I'm

44:45

in Hollywood, everybody's satanic, but

44:48

my God is here. I'm in this

44:50

room and these people are not my cup of tea,

44:53

but my God is here. And then

44:55

through this practice it became confidence and now I

44:57

could sit and look at a whole country and

44:59

be like, I don't care what you guys say,

45:02

my God is here. And that

45:05

little boy became a man and

45:07

he knows that his God is

45:10

here. Practice inviting

45:13

God into your life and

45:15

watch everything

45:17

fall into place. Stop

45:19

asking God, God, I want this,

45:21

I want that. Stop. God,

45:24

what do you want from me? What do you need

45:26

from me? What do you want me to

45:28

do? And

45:30

you'll notice like the

45:33

best way that I could explain it is like this. Oh

45:38

man, I'm about to jump into something even deeper. This is

45:40

going to take a second, but I really hope that this

45:42

marinates with people. In the Bible,

45:44

Jesus Christ is with his disciples and

45:47

they're on a boat and the sea

45:49

is roaring, roaring. The waves are crashing

45:52

like the time of Jonah. Jonah

45:55

was a man that was sent on a

45:57

mission to go save people by telling them

45:59

to repress. But Jonah didn't

46:01

want to do it and he said no

46:03

to God. And so it made him so

46:05

sad that he slept at the bottom of

46:07

the boat and he sat there and he

46:09

cried himself to sleep because he was sad.

46:13

But then in the future, Jesus was

46:15

fulfilling the prophecy. So now Jesus is

46:17

at the bottom of the boat peacefully

46:19

sleeping and the disciples are

46:22

freaking out the same way that

46:24

Jonah was. We're gonna die,

46:27

there's no way out of this. The

46:29

storm is over them. I'm

46:31

talking like, if we were on this boat, there

46:33

isn't like how we're getting out of this. It's

46:35

like, oh, we're dead. There's nothing

46:38

else besides being dead. So they run down and they

46:40

go, do you not worry about our life? Like

46:43

we're gonna die. And he says,

46:45

what little faith do you guys have? You guys

46:48

just watched me perform, he didn't say this, he

46:50

in verbatim he said, what little faith do you have?

46:52

But let me paint the image. They just watched him

46:54

do a bunch of miracles and

46:56

they're still doubting the man

46:59

who did all of this. They

47:01

know who he is, they have a hunch, but

47:03

they're still doubting him. That's us, we

47:06

know we're with God, but

47:08

we still doubt him. We know what he's

47:10

done in our marriage. We have countless times

47:12

where he's prepared and provided and in the

47:14

Nissim circumstance, the devil found a way to

47:16

make us not believe that he's gonna save

47:19

us here. And so we're sitting here and

47:21

I thought this was a beautiful message

47:24

because Jesus looks

47:27

at the waves and he goes, be

47:30

still and the waters go, so

47:33

still that Jesus goes and he

47:35

stands on the water and he

47:37

walks out and he's standing on the water. And

47:40

then he says, Peter, come. And

47:43

Peter's like us, he's like, what? So

47:47

he comes, puts his feet out there and

47:49

he's standing on it. And then

47:51

he comes closer and he comes closer and

47:54

he comes closer. Then all of a sudden he hears like

47:56

thunder or something where it sounds like a

47:58

storm, where he's scared, he took his eye out. eyes

48:00

off of Jesus for one second and

48:02

he sunk underwater. And

48:04

Jesus was close enough to grab him and pull him

48:06

out. And he pulled him

48:08

out. And let me

48:11

just say this is us. We take our

48:13

eyes off of Jesus for two seconds and

48:15

we're drowning. But the

48:17

moment he took himself away from Jesus is when he

48:19

put himself in fear and he

48:21

drowned it. But he put him

48:23

back to God, he's breathing.

48:26

So what I tell people is if you're in

48:28

a storm, amazing,

48:31

it sucks, but why not stand on

48:34

top of the storm with your God? Why

48:36

sink underneath it? Why?

48:40

You don't need to be there. You don't need

48:42

to be drowning. You need to be

48:44

in that place, but not

48:46

in the same circumstance that you see it as. If

48:49

you're there under your turbulence,

48:53

why not stand above it? And

48:56

the only way you could do that is

48:58

by having your eyes focused on God. Not

49:01

on your surroundings, not on your fears, not on your

49:03

doubts, not on how you're gonna get, no, no, no,

49:05

no, no, no. He is the way, he is the

49:07

truth, he is the light. I'm gonna

49:09

fixate my eyes on you because

49:12

when your hand was out, you could carry me out

49:14

of this. Don't

49:16

drown underneath the storm. If

49:18

you wanna invite God into a storm, into

49:21

a room, into an audition,

49:24

into a meeting, into

49:26

a family business where you don't think you could

49:28

fix family business, that

49:31

storm stands still in

49:33

the presence of your creator because

49:36

he created everything. So he could

49:38

tell that storm that you think is too wild,

49:42

your creator is here, pipe down. Oh!

49:46

The NFL playoffs have arrived, and we have

49:48

you covered each day on Alkick's Hot Mike

49:50

with Hunter Withrow. Some of the best football

49:53

guests break down the biggest match-ups from Armando

49:55

Salguero to Donovan McNabb to Ryan Leith and

49:57

Bobby Carpenter, plus the top headlines and reaction

49:59

to... playoff weekend. Which quarterback could

50:01

fit to that next level? Brock Curtin,

50:03

Jack Prescott to us is on this

50:05

list. Gotta be Lamar Jackson right? Yeah

50:07

I think so. It's his time to

50:10

shot. He's done it the regular season,

50:12

he's won MVP, going to win it

50:14

again, it is time for him to

50:16

win in the playoffs. The playoffs are

50:18

also time to shine for Patrick Mahomes.

50:20

Can he and the chief's offense figure

50:22

it out in order to repeat the

50:24

playoff season? There's a lot of that Unitedisen

50:26

that if you gotta land, the time goes on

50:28

man. It's a lot of fights.

50:31

Let's go, did you hear my hype

50:34

with induction

50:38

and you're my high impatient brother. Wow,

50:43

that was great, what a great story

50:45

to type in. Title isn't a story story tales

50:47

from the Bible for literally hours and

50:49

hours and hours and hours. I'm so

50:51

enjoy yourself. Like crazy. You know, it's

50:53

crazy. My, my, uh, I

50:56

have a spin off idea, um, for

50:59

the George ankle show. I

51:01

had this idea before I even had the George ankle show, but

51:03

what I want to do in the future. And

51:06

I was always scared about saying this idea

51:08

and then somebody else running off and doing it. But maybe

51:10

if it's meant for somebody else to do it, they should

51:12

go do it. But I will do this in the future.

51:16

Uh, I'm going to hire professors

51:18

and, and geniuses to, we're

51:20

going to read the Bible from cover

51:22

to cover. So when

51:24

we go to the part where it

51:26

was written in Greek, I'm going to

51:29

have Greek scientists or like people that

51:31

broke down the Bible in Greek, or

51:33

if it's in Hebrew, like half people

51:35

that are Jewish that speak full fluent

51:37

Hebrew and like they know that the

51:39

dialect and the translation. And we would

51:42

go from cover to cover with different

51:44

geniuses that have studied the Bible with

51:46

their theology and their points of views

51:48

and my heart and my curiosity. So

51:50

I'll sit with professors and we would

51:52

learn together the gospel. So as

51:54

I'm learning, they're learning and then my questions could

51:57

be there for them if they have questions. And

51:59

so that was a. That's gonna be something I

52:01

want to do in the future. That's really cool How

52:03

long we've been going for I feel like we

52:06

I feel like this is a good episode I think it's

52:08

a really good. I was worried in the beginning. No, I

52:10

really enjoyed this I was a little worried in the beginning.

52:12

I'm not gonna lie because I

52:15

Was scared that my my exhaustion was

52:18

gonna knock me out Ironically

52:20

what we were just talking about and you know, it's so

52:22

funny I don't know if you've watched all the way through

52:24

the podcast But in the beginning I was kind of a

52:26

little out of it a little out of it because I

52:28

was in my fear And then when we

52:30

started talking about God my confidence grew back and

52:33

then I started speaking a little bit more and

52:35

you literally what you were Speaking of you

52:37

reminded yourself of that for your own self. You're like,

52:39

oh, yeah Okay, I said that one question the girl

52:42

asked me kid you answer the one

52:44

question the girl asked you a girl asked me a

52:46

question I wanted to answer of course What's

52:49

the question I will read it Sincerely

52:55

Marilyn She said question

52:57

for Bell What is

52:59

your advice on supporting your man's journey with

53:01

God while still staying true to your own

53:04

journey? I feel like I'm fully engaged in

53:06

my speech spirituality and I want him to

53:08

chase his relationship with the Lord without being

53:10

pushy and As

53:13

soon as I said a great question and I want to

53:16

answer that right away because as soon as I read that

53:18

it came like to me right away and I think that

53:21

Nothing you can do it just

53:23

lead by example and just show him

53:25

through like your actions and

53:27

the type of woman that you are and And

53:31

I and I think that's the best thing you can

53:33

do without being pushy without being like, babe You know

53:35

you should read your Bible or like you should you

53:37

should do this or you should study You should be

53:39

closer with God because he might not be in

53:42

a place where he's ready to hear it

53:44

or you know He doesn't want to and

53:46

so yeah that might push him away instead

53:48

and something that I learned within our relationship

53:50

something that actually George has Told me before

53:52

even in the beginning of a relationship when

53:54

I wasn't quite you know, my walk with

53:56

God wasn't as Close

53:59

as it is now for me. But

54:01

I and there's

54:03

certain things that certain ways that I would deal with certain

54:05

situations. I wasn't aware that I was, you know, dealing with

54:07

them in a certain way that was good or anything like

54:09

that. It was just that's just how I dealt with things.

54:12

And George would tell me all the time. He's like, man,

54:14

you know, he's like, I, when

54:16

you go through certain situations, like I, I really

54:18

feel like I, I, I

54:20

learned a lot from you. And when the way that you

54:22

deal with situations, because like, you're like, you're calm and you're

54:24

patient with things or whatever, right? Like, I feel like I'm

54:26

like, this is just what like, he has told me. And

54:29

I agree. Right. And so when you

54:31

would tell me that, like, oh, wow,

54:33

like I didn't realize how much my

54:36

actions impacted you and the way that

54:38

you saw things. I'll explain what she's

54:40

because she's being very humble because she's talking about

54:42

herself. But I

54:44

had anger issues, just just being honest, like

54:47

I was bullied a lot growing up. So I didn't know how to

54:49

confront people. So I was either like, I was

54:52

in a way where I'm like, I'm going to be

54:54

super kind to this dude. And if this dude keeps

54:56

trying to push me, then I'm just gonna, I'm just

54:59

gonna fight him. That's it. Like I had no middle

55:01

grounds, because I had no way of

55:03

communicating, I had no communication skills. I didn't know

55:05

how to deal with my emotions. And

55:08

it was never her sitting down being like, Hey, I

55:10

think you need to talk like this or act like

55:12

this. I would

55:15

just watch things out set

55:17

me on fire that she went through and

55:20

how she was just right here and how she dealt

55:22

with it. And how she dealt with it, there was

55:24

no repercussions. Like she didn't have to apologize for how

55:26

she spoke. She didn't have to be like, Oh, now

55:28

they follow. Yeah, now I can patch this wall up

55:30

because I busted a hole in the wall. Like, there

55:33

was like, there was only beautiful things that came out

55:35

of it because she watched her mouth and watched her

55:37

actions. And I was like, Oh, I

55:39

want to be like this. I want to be

55:41

well behaved under these types of circumstances. And

55:44

I just told her I go, Hey, you know, you changed my

55:46

life by acting this way. And

55:49

that's a very, like, you're really,

55:52

really spot on, Bell, when you

55:54

were new to Christianity, I never said, Hey,

55:56

pray to your God now, or Hey, read

55:59

the Bible. Nobody wants

56:01

to be pushed into a relationship, right? Yes,

56:03

thank you. That's something else I wanted to get to. Yeah, nobody

56:05

wants to be pushed in a relationship, but I

56:07

thought that if I show her how

56:10

many times I depend on God

56:12

in my life, and how many

56:15

times he's came through and I

56:17

praise him through those times, people

56:20

catch on. And they'll be like,

56:22

whoa, like, I

56:24

like how he deals with

56:27

this circumstances using the gospel. Maybe

56:29

I should try to do that. And

56:31

also, like, and this is going to

56:33

be kind of annoying to

56:35

say this, but guys don't want to be

56:37

led by women because they were raised, I

56:40

need to provide and I need to lead my

56:42

woman. So when you are leading your man in

56:44

a good way, sometimes it's hard for

56:47

him to be like, if a woman comes in like, you're doing it wrong,

56:49

you got to do this because his own insecurities

56:51

now pour out, I'll be like, I'm not

56:53

going to, she now thinks I'm lost and

56:55

she's going to go to somebody else who's

56:57

more put together. And then so he's going

56:59

to fight you on it. But

57:01

if you came out of love and you were just

57:04

preaching by your actions, two

57:06

things are going to happen. He's either going to have to catch up with

57:09

you or he's going

57:11

to be like, maybe this isn't the one for me. And

57:13

sadly, maybe God's like, you guys need to be a part

57:15

because you're part, like in the beginning when we were saying

57:17

you must hate your mother, you must hate your father, you

57:20

must hate your boyfriend in the comparison of

57:22

your God. And also,

57:25

I'm going to give it back to you because I want you

57:27

to finish this up. The one thing I want

57:29

to add into this is Belle

57:32

had so many issues with me that she figured

57:34

out by just

57:36

talking to God about it. Do you have

57:39

any idea how many times I came and apologized to her about

57:41

circumstance? She goes, you know, many times I talk to God about that

57:43

and I'm like, I was just looking at him and cry and be

57:45

like, God just answered my prayer. Like

57:47

I didn't have to like do this. Like

57:50

God is so graceful, merciful that he didn't

57:52

have me have this awkward, terrible conversation with

57:54

him that probably would have resulted in the

57:57

fight because he probably wasn't in the place

57:59

to. to hear it from me then,

58:01

you know, because he led

58:03

with example and I just got

58:05

to see God's

58:08

work in his life. I literally just

58:10

watched God work in his life. It

58:12

made me go, wait,

58:15

like why, why like, why

58:17

do these things work out the way they do in his

58:19

life? Like, okay, how is he

58:21

able to, you know, take

58:24

this situation and turn it into this situation?

58:26

Like what, what is that one thing that,

58:28

that is common in all the situations in

58:31

his life that makes things so

58:33

beautiful and it was God

58:35

and it was God's work in his

58:37

life. And so it literally just took

58:39

him leading, just living his life and

58:42

leading his life with God, but it gave

58:44

me the beautiful example as to what a

58:46

life led with God looks like and made

58:48

me go, well, I want that. Like I

58:50

want that for myself too, because it's so

58:52

beautiful and it's so amazing. And, and

58:55

then it became clear to me, oh, there is no other

58:57

way. And so he didn't have to push me and be

58:59

like, bell, why aren't you reading your Bible? Bell, why aren't

59:01

you learning? Why aren't you going to church? Why aren't you

59:03

trying to have a better relationship with God? It

59:06

came because he made me thirsty

59:08

for the information. He made me want

59:11

to chase God. Wow. You know,

59:14

made me sound so cool right now. But it's true. And

59:16

so then I think in the same way, you saw

59:18

God working in me. I always give the example. You don't

59:21

see God like you don't see the wind, but you could see what

59:23

the wind does to somebody, you know, when the wind's pushing the hair

59:25

down, you don't see it. And that's how I see God. And that

59:27

happened in so many instances,

59:33

like the way that he led his life

59:35

in our relationship. And also too, I would

59:37

meet like, I remember I met this one

59:40

girl, Gavin's girlfriend, and the way that this,

59:42

the way that her spirit is, the way

59:44

that she lights up a room and she

59:46

has something special about her. And

59:49

she explained it kind of very similarly to me,

59:51

how she felt about a different girl like that, where

59:53

she met a girl and goes, man, like there's something

59:55

about her. Like I want that. And I felt the

59:57

same way about Gavin's girlfriend. I was like, whatever.

1:00:00

She has going on I want that and it

1:00:02

was literally that she just had the Holy Spirit

1:00:04

Firing inside of her and her relationship with

1:00:07

God was just so tight and that also

1:00:09

made me so thirsty to have that like

1:00:11

Just have that thing, you know, and

1:00:14

so yeah anyways How

1:00:17

I would put it just lead with love and

1:00:19

your actions and he will see that in your

1:00:21

life and Yeah,

1:00:24

yeah, I love that. I love you guys. Thank

1:00:26

you so much for listening It's

1:00:29

always hard to end it and we still rude because

1:00:31

it's like I feel rude when we say bye because

1:00:33

I Like you say goodbye cuz

1:00:35

you know, you're saying goodbye like this, you

1:00:38

know, you're gonna say goodbye But then I thought

1:00:40

because you said goodbye well said There's

1:00:43

nothing I'm not gonna go and say goodbye again, but

1:00:46

then I feel rude cuz I'm not saying bye, you

1:00:48

know, yeah
