Today, let's look at the childhood message for type 4: It almost seems impossible to think of a child hearing these words and the truth is….these exact words were most likely, never spoken but somehow the message was received that “It's not ok to be too functional or too happy.” Take just a few seconds to FEEL that deep inside. Imagine how that feels….I CAN'T BE TOO HAPPY. I Can't DO too much…Too much…..Too happy. What creates this feeling of having to be less than you are? That if anyone truly knew how deeply you FEEL and how you see such depth to the world it would be TOO MUCH for them? That YOU are just TOO MUCH and thus, feel so out of place….longing to just be authentically YOU? Breath in this truth…..You ARE seen and LOVED for ALL that you. You are NOT too much. You don't have to hide the beauty of ALL you offer to this world. Listen deeply to that message  #Enneagram4 #Enneagram #EnneagramPodcast #EnneagramChildhoodmessage #DeepListening  

Everybody has a purpose, and I believe that God created each person for something specific. When you realize your gifts and purpose, and you walk in that, you live in that, and you do that. It just kind of comes naturally. God wants to say something. He wants me to relay knowledge to you differently today. So what you're going to hear is what I believe. God wanted you to say through me. Be blessed. I hope you receive it. You know, I want to talk about being blessed. I have come through so many things in my life. I've seen a lot of abuse. I've seen a lot of abundance, and no matter what, even when I didn't even know it, God was always with me. He's: Loved and protected me Provided for me Given me, everything that I could ever think of or ask for and a lot of stuff that I didn't even know was available to me. Understood me for who I am, accepting me for who I am and what I am. I love spending time with God. He's my best friend. I can go to him and talk to him about anything. I'm so blessed. It's not about the pursuit of things, the attainment of material possessions. It's not about being in a relationship with other people that are blessed. It comes from inside. It's how you feel is how you think. It's how you move in the world. I'm blessed; there's nothing that I can't have. There's nothing that I can't do. There's nowhere I can't go, there's nobody that I can't be, I can be whoever I want to be, I can do whatever I want to do. I can live where I want to live. I can have whatever I want to have. I am blessed. It's amazing how much: God loves me. He cares. He's provided for me. He's protected me. He has in store for me. He says I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, thoughts of good and not evil, of an expected end. He knew me before the foundation of the Earth, creating me knitting me together in my mother's womb. He formed me. He knows every molecule. He knows me. He created me. I have a purpose, and when I flow in that purpose when I live in that purpose when I do what He's called me to do, I am perfectly happy. I am content. PRAYER for God's Blessing. He's a glorious God, a merciful God - Hallelujah, an omniscient God. He knows everything. He's omnipotent - Hallelujah, He has all power. Hallelujah, Lord, I praise you for your Grace and your mercy and your kindness. I exalt you and reverence You for this opportunity to let people know that I am blessed and let them know that they're also blessed. That You love them, that You protect them, that You provide for them. Lord, I give you praise and glory and honor. Hallelujah, Lord, I thank you for the confidence that you placed in the people that hear my voice. Lord, I Thank and Praise You for their: Lives. Prosperity.  Health. Relationships. Careers and purposes. Hallelujah Lord, Gifts. Lord, I thank you and praise you in the name of Jesus. They have a sound mind, and Your peace surrounds them.

In this week's episode, I take a moment to speak about how important it is to have the mindset. That You're going to love and pray for your enemies, even those who persecute you. And you're gonna be able to do so by allowing the love of Christ, that dwells in you to flow outwardly unto others.

Welcome to 40 days with Christ. You've made it to all the way to day #7. Great going! You are officially getting the power of repetition on your side! So now is probably a good time for me to share a success strategy with you! It would be wonderful if you completed all 40 days back to back with no stumbles and no interruptions - day after day - all 40 days in a row, but it doesn't always work that way. Some people end up ‘giving up' because they miss a day or two and feel like they have to ‘catch up'. But that's not true! If you miss a day or two, you can pick right back up where you left off and keep pushing forward one day at a time. What I'm saying is that if you miss a day, you can avoid ‘giving up' by simply ‘picking up' where you last left off. You DO have permission to take a few extra days to complete all 40 sessions. I just wanted to make sure you knew that! ;-) OK! Lets start with a word of prayer. Father, How magnificent are the depths of the riches of Your wisdom and Your knowledge. For from You and through You and to You are all things. To You Father be the glory forever! In Jesus name we pray. AMEN! In Mark chapter 4, Jesus once again uses agricultural language to explain an important truth about the Kingdom of Heaven. Reading verses 26 through 29.* 26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” We like to think we understand things. Even things we don't fully understand we tend to assign a name at least. And that makes us feel much more in control. Amazingly enough scientists don't even yet fully understand everything that happens within a seed as it comes to life in the soil! Yes, we do know it absorbs water and starts to somehow convert part of itself into enzymes which begin to send out roots and sprout the beginning of life underground. One thing is for certain however. Night and day, whether we are asleep or awake, whether we understand it or not, that seed is sprouting and growing. Jesus says the kingdom of God is the same way. God uses people to spread his message and then God makes that message grow within people's hearts. The preacher or teacher that spoke the message doesn't make it grow. He doesn't even grasp how it grows. But it does! And the glory belongs not to any man but to God himself in heaven. Lets pray. Lord God you are amazing. Whenever we speak Your word of truth, You oversee it. You are the one who makes it grow within the hearts and minds of men and women. You are the one who causes it to take root and to become productive. Lord, please help us to trust in You to make your word grow in our hearts. Please show us how You would have us to help spread Your word. We ask you that You will help us to then simply trust in You. That You will make Your work grow in the hearts and minds of those who hear. To You be the power and glory and honor and praise forever and ever. We pray and believe in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you so much for joining us. I hope you have a great day and look forward to seeing you again tomorrow for day 8 of our ongoing series 40 days with Christ.

Day 8 – Lenten Prayer and Reflection – 1st March 2021   This morning we have readings from the book of Daniel and also from the gospel of St. Luke. Before we go into that, the Lord is speaking to us through Daniel about the attitude and nature of our mind He is calling us to have. If you look at the book of Daniel, it is a book about a person in exile. Daniel was a foreigner, Daniel was in exile, Daniel was at the mercy of the king. That's how he was called to live his life. We will think that this was only the story of Daniel. But the reality is this is the story of every Christian, of you and me. We are people in exile, living away from the promised land. Our home is in heaven and we await that home, and therefore we are called to have the same attitude, life and heart that Daniel had. In fact Philippians 3:20 tells us our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. This tells us very clearly we do not belong here. So often people say, why don't you apply to Australia? Why don't you get your green card? Why don't you move away? We think it's going to be a lovely time if we go away, happily ever after. But we know as we travel all over the world, that everywhere people have the same problems, the same difficulties, the same challenges to face and it's never a greener pasture, but every family goes through different problems. In fact I just spoke to a person last night who said for 10 years he was in love, got married, went abroad and within a few months the family broke up. So he would have thought going abroad would have been the best idea possible but when they went there they had to face challenges. Anyway, we are Christians in exile. What happened to Daniel? Daniel had been taken by King Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem and placed in Babylon. The king had asked for the best people, the cleverest, the most handsome, the most promising people and he had taken them all away and placed them under his care in the palace in Babylon. They were supposed to eat a certain food, they were supposed to be nourished and they were supposed to provide the king with answers to well his problems. This was the life Daniel went through. But if you look at the book of Daniel, he went through different kinds of experiences. The king would suddenly build a statue or see a dream and then he would have to answer the dream. Suddenly there would be writing on the wall -- different kinds of experiences in every chapter. As we come to chapter 9 that's a place where they say it's a pause for prayer. In that chapter, Daniel devotes his time to prayer and that is the chapter we have been given today, where Daniel pauses in prayer to God. Before we go into that chapter, there are certain things we can learn from Daniel as he lived in exile in Babylon under the king. First of all, do not be impressed by applause or gifts. Daniel was there, he began to answer questions, he began to reveal mysteries and the king promised him this and that. But here was a person who was not impressed, whose heart and mind was fixed on God. That is reflected in the reading for today. His mind was fixed on God, he knew his salvation was in the God of heaven and not in the king. He was never impressed with what the king had to promise him. When the king asked for him to be fed very well, but he did not want to defile himself, and therefore they had their special food which they ate and they never drank the wine, and it is said that it was found that Daniel and his friends were ten times more filled with wisdom and healthier that the other people who were fed all the kings rations and food. There was a distinct favour of God upon Daniel, because he always fixed his gaze on God. Secondly, do not be intimidated by the world's threats. Each time the king had a dream, or saw something, or was told that "Daniel has mocked your gods," the king came forward and said, "I'm going to throw you to lions, I am going to kill you" but Daniel was never intimidated by threats. He always turned to God and sought answers in God.   Then, do not be infected by religious practices, what people do. For example, we know in Sri Lanka if a boy wants to get a girl in an office, the first thing he has to do is spike her drink with something or with some charm, and get her together. Then she falls in love with him, he takes her and they are supposed to be happily married. But recently I saw a testimony where a certain person charmed a girl and they got married and the family life began happily, but within four months the charm wore off and the girl wanted to break up the family. If we live according to the world's behaviour, ways or practices, we will never be happy, there will never be a lasting solution. So Daniel also was invited to worship this god and that god, but he stuck to the living God. Don't get caught up by gifts, do not be intimidated by the threats you receive, and do not follow the practices of others but follow the living God. Finally, we are called to be God's partners, in whatever we do, we seek God's face and we partner with God to do what He wants us to do. Here Daniel, like a movie, suddenly he's going through a problem, suddenly he's going through a threat, suddenly he's thrown to lions, suddenly he has to go and kill dragon, and in all this he was partnering with God, and in certain moments God revealed Himself to him in all glory as God saved him from these situations. It is said in the last book of Daniel, where he was in the pit with lions, that the prophet Habakkuk was sent and he dropped in a certain food because Daniel was for seven days with the lions and this prophet dropped in a little preparation of food for him to drink and to survive in the lion's pit. As Daniel partnered with God, he saw the glory of God, and God was in love with him and God was with him in that experience. We also see this in Exodus 3:7-8. Exodus 3:7-8 The Lord said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. This word tells us that today, if we are going through some bad experience, if we are going through some brokenness, if we are going through some suffering, there is a God, who is looking at our misery, who is hearing our cry, who is seeing our tears and He is concerned about our suffering. This was the experience of the Israelites in the desert, and this was the experience of Daniel in the lion's den, and in every experience he had, where he depended upon on the living God. As I said, Daniel reminds us that although God may sometimes allow us to suffer, He is always at hand, always able to free us, He sometimes offers us a glimpse of His coming glory. It is said, that the book of Daniel is also a book of revelation, prophecy about the future. If you look at it with the book of Revelation, there are different things about the future, about the Son of Man, and it's mystical, at the same time, it is a call for us and a teaching for us, how to live our journey with the Lord. What does the Christian do in exile? How does he live? Does he complain? Does he cry? Does he blame the others for what he's going through? No, he seeks the heart and mind of Christ. And today's readings are all about seeking the heart and mind of Christ. During this time of lent, we seek the heart and mind of Jesus. Let's go to the readings. It's taken from Daniel 9:4-10. It is Daniel pausing for prayer because we have all kinds of experiences throughout Daniel, and when you come to chapter 9, Daniel begins to pray a long prayer.   Daniel 9:4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, The first line says, "I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed." In fact the first song we sang today was, "Come, now is the time." Confess that He's God, that song asks us to confess. So confess does not just mean to go for confession or to confess your sins, but give the truth and say, "Lord, You are God. Lord, You are in control. This Monday morning as I begin my week, as I face challenges, I'm here Lord, and time is moving and I have to leave for work, but I confess You are God. That You are in control of every situation I am going to face. You are in control of every decision I make today and during this week. We confess." Generally we can confess, "Oh my God, so much of suffering. So many things to do, I don't know where to stand, where to go." Or we can confess as Daniel confessed. What did he confess? He said, "O Lord, the great and awesome God." He didn't say, "Oh Lord my schedule is so busy, my problems are so big." He confessed that God is great and awesome. He confessed that God is bigger than his situation. That God is greater than his challenges, that God is above everything he's facing. And this is the first principle of a renewed mind, we are called to have a renewed mind. We can go to God giving our list of problems, list of challenges, but this morning as you stand before God, you tell Him, "Oh God, great and mighty God, you are above it all, you are my King of Kings, you are my Lord of Lords and you are still in control." I remember when I had a problem and I was called to the immigration and I was told, "Buy your ticket and leave this country." The verse that came from the word said, "Not by flight. You will not leave this country by flight, you will be here." So I had innumerous threats over two years but I never had the need to leave the country and go away. Though they called me every time and said, "Where is your ticket? Why didn't you leave?" The word said, no, God is greater. God is above and God is in control. The first principle of a renewed mind is to acknowledge that God is greater. Do not try to deal with the crisis first. So often we are in love with the crisis. "Oh I have this problem, I have that problem. I cannot pay this" -- we're looking at the problem, we are loving the problem, we're embracing the problem, we are living with the problem, but we are called to fix our gaze on God, turn your gaze to the living God who has an answer. He knows you are in exile, He knows you feel like a stranger, He knows you have nowhere to turn to and He is in love with you. In the book of Daniel, God says, in the next chapter, that He loves Daniel. That He cares for Daniel. It was not just a God who came and did powerful things, it was a God who was in love with Daniel. The first chapter says, God's favour was on Daniel. His favour, His mercy. This morning as we go through this ancient reading, God is telling you: "My favour and love are with you. You may feel you are in exile, but I love you and I care for you." So if the crisis is coming to you, refuse to deal with it first. Refuse to deal with the crisis -- you have no answers. But go to the feet of the Lord and struggle with your human nature, which says there are no answers, there is no way forward. Have that struggle before the Lord. This was the same experience of Nehemiah as he was faced with the struggle and had to build the wall, he went to the Lord and he acknowledged the greatness of God. Remember who God is. God is above. God is able. With God all things are possible, and that's what you must be confessing. How can you confess it if your mind is not renewed? How do you renew your mind? By looking at the word, but looking at the life of Daniel, by reading the life of Nehemiah and the life of other people in the word of God. As we read the word of God our mind gets renewed.   I remember about a month ago on YouTube there is a video of an Iranian woman and man who came to experience the Lord. It was a long journey, but the beautiful part of it was they were staunch Muslim and that was their background. They had all the arguments, they knew in theory that the Bible had all the answers, that Jesus Christ was the Saviour, but they couldn't get themselves to accept this word. But when they had moved to Toronto and they were living alone in an apartment, husband and wife, and they had time on hand and they had to find their way forward, that's when they began to read the word of God. It is said, they read the word of God from 5 in the evening to 7 in the morning the next day. The whole night, they just lapped up the word of God. They never knew English, so they had the dictionary beside them, they were looking at words -- if you said the word Revelation, they would open the book and see what's the meaning of revelation. Every word they had to find that English meaning. But in a few days, as they began reading the word of God, first the man felt a presence in the room, and he just burst out crying and he experienced the power of the word of God, and his mind was renewed. And the wife said, "You know Lord, if you can do that to him, you can do that to me." Two days later, as she read the word of God like that, suddenly when she came to 1 John 1, and that chapter about God's love -- "While we were sinners God loved us -- as she read about that, she burst out crying and she experienced the presence of the living God. How do you renew your mind? How can you become a person like Nehemiah or Daniel? But looking at the promises, by reading the word of God, and spending time with Him. You will begin to think like them, you'll begin to respond to situations like Daniel and Nehemiah. So in this case, first, Daniel talks about the greatness of God. "Oh, Lord, great and awesome God." And it was the same with Nehemiah who said, "Remember who God is." Do not cling to your problem, to your situation, but turn and look at the greatness of God. He is greater than my problem. This morning as you think of a challenge you are facing, as you think of a person suffering and you're praying for, speak to that problem and say, "My God is greater than that issue. My God is alive, my God has the answers, and my God can do wonders." Daniel 9:5 We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. As Nehemiah did, Daniel is repenting. He's repenting for himself, for his country men and country women. If you look at that glass in the darkness, the water will seem so pure, so clean, like American drinking water, as they say it in the cans. But when you take that glass and as you hold it close to a source of light, you will see particles moving in that supposedly clean water. You'll see little particles. And that tells us as we go closer to the light, as we go deeper into the presence of God, we begin to see our sinfulness. We begin to see our true nature. Until then we say, "No no, I have no sin. I'm great, I never criticize people, I love everyone. I'm good. I'm so holy, I do my prayers," but as you go into the presence of God, God will reveal to you your nature, the way you speak. Everything will become very clear to you and that's when you will be called to repent. He knew his people. He must have been a person who was praying but generally not living with a transformed mind. Don't waste your time repenting about your husband or wife or child. Repent for the wrong you have done. Whenever we have a crisis this person has caused the breakup. Do not look at the other person. You also had a role to play and your mind is not open to it. Do not pin the blame.   The way you do it, your mind is not open to it. Therefore, do not pin the blame on somebody else, but accept your part in this problem. The second reality of how to handle a crisis, like in the second verse of Daniel, don't offer excuses and say, "I want to kill myself because of this person or that person." Don't offer excuses. But deal with your own sin. Repent of your sin. When I got for confession, before I enter, I always say, "Holy Spirit remind me of my sin." And lo and behold, the entire download happens. You actually want to forget your sinfulness. You do not want to tell the priest everything, but when you say "Spirit of God, reveal to me my sin," immediately, everything begins to fall into your mind, you begin to see the movie, you begin to be reminded of all the moments when you sinned. When you practice that and say, "Spirit of God remind me of my sinfulness," you will see how low you have fallen. Sometimes we tell the Lord, "Lord I am going through this because of that person. Because of that rotter, this is my life." But this morning, we are going to say, "Lord I repent for the wrongdoings of my family members, of my community, of the world. I repent of what is happening." Sometimes when we look at the television and see this person has murdered 10 people or this person has killed so many people, or this has happened, we always find fault. But let's say, "Lord have mercy. Have mercy on him, have mercy on his victims. Have mercy on us." If I never had a renewed mind I would have done the same. I would have fallen into the same pit. Recently I saw the story of a woman who was called out and she was living as a slave in Africa to a certain man and she had a life of prostitution. But as she related her story, she had gone through so much of suffering. Somebody had promised her a job, she was taken and to a place called Togo, and she thought she was going to earn US dollars in a beautiful job, but actually she was taken to join a prostitution ring. And from then on, she was taken to another place, again promised help, taken to another place and again used. And again taken to another country and used as a drug carrier. She says when she went to the customs, she was so broken she told the customs, "I think I'm carrying drugs," she admitted, and she received a seven year sentence. And that was her life. So when she shared her testimony, she was actually weeping, crying and speaking. We often think a prostitute is a terrible person with a horrible life, but that person only knows the pain they are going through, how they got into in, what their story is and we must have mercy as we deal with them. We must have love as we deal with such sinfulness. Not say, "Oh my gosh, my life is so clean, their lives are so bad," but no, have mercy as we look at them. Daniel 9:9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; Like in Nehemiah, what is Daniel doing? He is remembering what God has promised. God has promised that He is merciful and loving. God is great and awesome and then we have sinned against Him, and the third remembrance, God has promised to be merciful, to be loving. You have promised Lord to be merciful because You understand us, You see our weakness, You see how low we have fallen. And You have made us, You have created us, and You are still in love with us, and therefore we have hope. So this morning, as we look at the Lord and as we say He is merciful and loving, we know that we can approach Him. Very often many of us invite people to come for the prayer meeting, and there are a few cases where people say, "How can I come to God? I have been living in sin. I can't come right now because I am dealing with some sin of mine, so I will not come. So many friends who do not want to come for the prayer meeting or to experience God's love because maybe they are holding onto that sin and they feel   they are so unworthy that they will never be able to experience the greatness and goodness of God. But the point is, God is merciful, God is calling us, let's go to Him. Let's experience His favour. We can approach Him, we can go to Him. If you renew your mind with the revelation of scripture, you won't hide from God, you won't waste days and months running through your own thinking patterns. You allow the scripture to form how you handle events, you keep doing this. It's all about renewing your mind, transforming your mind. Now, you can't do it, because certain people believe for example, it's all in the mind. That if they make a decision, it's going to happen. But it's beyond that. So often, if somebody has an argument with you, what happens? Are you able to go to sleep? Are you able to say, "Mind, please shut down now. I want to rest"? We all know, that our minds keep on playing back the argument. "He said this, she said that, this one said this, and then I am going to tell them that, and this is going to happen" and we have this entire conversation going on and we are never able to rest after a fight. Are you able to sleep? No, it becomes difficult. It's the same with me. We cannot control our mind, just like a horse going on a ride. It's just galloping and galloping and talking away and chatting away. But with the grace of God, as we turn to the scripture, that's when the peace of God takes over and we experience the rest of God. This was Daniel's prayer, like Nehemiah, as he accepted the greatness of God, he repented for his sin, and then he approached God and said, "Lord, these are your promises. You are merciful and therefore I am able to approach you." In the gospel, Jesus is talking to us about our internal responses. Here, Daniel is telling God, "You are so great". And Daniel is saying, "Lord forgive us" and all of these things, but in his own life, is he showing the same mercy around him, is he sharing the same love? So you can be saying, "I'm saying Daniel's prayer" or "I am doing the Nehemiah prayer" but what is your internal journey, and what was the internal journey of the Lord Jesus. What did Jesus say? This is what was reflected in the gospel. Luke 6:36-37 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. You can saying Nehemiah's prayer, Daniel's prayer, but internally how have you been dealing with people around you? What is your nature? The transformed nature and attitude of Jesus was this. This is what he tells us. He tells us, "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Here you are crying out to God and saying, "Lord, God, King of Kings. Have mercy on me." But have you shown the same mercy to people around you? Lent is a moment when we come back to God, when we retreat from the world and come into the presence of God, and we search our heart to see where we have fallen. And the Lord is telling us, "Be merciful, just as the Father has been merciful." God has been good to you. Do you think, if you are person who is praying, if you are a person reading the scripture, that it is by your own merit? Because you spend time in prayer, because you did that? Imagine if dryness comes over you, where does your journey go? You'll have nothing to say. So God in His mercy has given you an experience of His love, He has drawn you with cords of love, as the word of God tells us. He has touched your heart, He has renewed you, He has given you the grace to pray and spend time with Him, it is nothing about you. It is His love for you. It is the spirit that has descended upon you and drawn you into a relationship with Him. And therefore, that has been the mercy of God. We cannot point our finger and say, "I spend time in prayer, see these people   they don't pray." The gift of prayer that you have is from God. God has blessed you with that gift. God has been good to you. Be merciful, just as the heavenly Father has been merciful to you. Then it says something really extreme: "Do not condemn and you will not be condemned." Imagine, what is condemnation? It's almost saying, "Go and die. Go and be killed. I do not want to see you again." It's an extreme form of talking, or thinking. Condemning a person. You condemn a person to what? To a beach resort? No, you condemn a person to the gallows. I person has to be hanged over there. So often, we are in the journey, experiencing the love of God, and yet we are condemning people. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. The seriousness of our actions, the way we speak, the way we journey with God, living in the life of God, experiencing His love, and condemning people. We say "go to hell" and when we condemn that person we are condemning ourselves. That's why it says, when we stand before God, and He reviews our life, our own sin will speak to us, will condemn us. It's not God saying, "You have sinned! Son you have come here but your life is a mess." As we look at the goodness of God, we see the poverty of our spirit. We see how far we have fallen. As we see His purity we see our impurity. Like St. Peter said "My Lord and my God." He knelt before him, because as he saw the magnanimity, the greatness of God, he saw his littleness. This is the experience of spirituality. Not, "I am this, I am that, I have done this, I have achieved this." As we go closer to God, we see how great He is and how small we are. As we experience His purity, we see how impure we can be. This should be our experience, and therefore He is calling us to live a life of showing mercy. When you go to the carpark of a supermarket, somebody comes and says, "Sir, buy this thing", and you can condemn the person and say, "Oh, these people are all cheats." Or we can just have mercy, "Lord, you have fed me, clothed me, You have given me a meal, in Your mercy I will just share. I will not condemn." This is what God is calling us to do, to show mercy and not to condemn. Thirdly, he says, "forgive and you will be forgiven." The lack of forgiveness is like a bondage. You are held with your arms in shackles. And when you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. That's crystal clear. If you you cannot forgive, you will not be forgiven. It's reciprocal. If you do not take the chance to forgive a person, release the person, you are not being released. Therefore, you're telling God, "I'm all doing all these prayers, I'm doing the Four Steps, I'm doing Nehemiah's prayer, I'm praying all of this nothing is happening. My prayers are not being answered." God is saying, "Look into your life." This is the time of lent, look into your life. The more you begin to forgive, the more you are being forgiven. You are holding yourself at ransom, you are holding yourself in bondage, you are holding yourself with hands tied and saying, "Lord, why? Why is this happening?" This morning, as you are forgiving, as you are offering forgiveness, you are being forgiven. Now we come to the most important verse in this, which a lot of people love. It says: "Give, and it will be given to you." All of us think in terms of money, "Oh if I give this, I am going to get that" and we get so excited. But God is not just talking about giving money, he's talking about giving mercy. He already set the tone, giving forgiveness. He's talking about giving glory to God, giving all of that. And as you give that to God, as you give your pain to Him he begins to release you, He begins to bless you. Luke 6:38 Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. It's just telling us the nature of a person surrendered to God. If something has to be poured into your lap, it means you are not running after something. Like you're given something and you're waiting for it to   come. But you're searching everywhere. If you are searching everywhere it cannot be poured into your lap. It means you are seated, you are sitting somewhere and it is being poured over you, or into your lap. If you're running everywhere looking for the answer, it's falling off you, you're losing this opportunity. You're giving and then you are waiting. And you're not looking for answers, you're not searching, you're giving repentance, you're releasing people. And God is giving back to you. The grace of God is being poured into your life and you are experiencing His power and mercy. Luke 6:38 Give and you will be given a good measure, pressed over full and running over. For the measure you give, will be the measure you receive back. There's one little verse in Philippians which talks about this mentality that God is calling us to have today. This is the spirituality we are called to. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always I will say it again rejoice. That's why we began this time of prayer with a song of praise, because first of all God is asking us to come and rejoice. Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. We can react, we can angry, we can blame, but let your gentleness be evident, the Lord is near, the Lord is with us, the Lord is for us. Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. We've heard Thaththa preaching about this before. It's a teaching by itself. But, it's just telling us about our mind. "Do not be anxious but in prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, present them to God." Give them to God, give Him all you're going through. Like Nehemiah and Daniel. And what is the result of this? Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God which transcends all understanding... Your way of thinking, your way of working out things is on this level. And the peace of God, is above it all, which transcends all understanding: Philippians 4:7 will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. This morning we spoke about having a renewed mind and heart in Christ Jesus. We saw the example of Daniel and Nehemiah, as they lived, as they faced different experiences, and as they saw the power of God in their life situations, they were able to achieve and do things. And then we saw, in the gospel, what   was Jesus' internal nature, his nature was, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do." He was a person who showed mercy, who showed love, who did not condemn. The nature of Jesus was to show mercy, to show love, not condemn. Give his life, not just give money. And this is our call today. If we want to have a renewed mind, if we want to have the peace that passes all understanding, God is calling us to come into His presence to look at His greatness, to repent of our sin, and to experience the power of His glory.

PRAYER FOCUS: ARE WE NOT A NATION BASED ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS/TORAH? IT IS THE BASIS OF OUR LAW AND ORDER AND JUSTICE SYSTEM NOW IS THE TIME TO INVOKE IT IN OUR LAND! Listen to the Prayer Audio: We have been set free by the Blood of Yeshuah, free from sin and iniquity and slavery. Your Son came to set the captives free, give sight to the blind, heal the broken hearted and establish Your Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. He fulfilled all that You asked Him to do so that we might be one with You and to live in harmony with one another! Father, we are so grateful that we are now under the rule of Your Son in our lives and we want to see manifest that it pervades across our nation of America and in Israel and any nation whose people are crying out to Yo for the freedom to worship You in spirit and truth! Lord, we are so grateful for the gift of the Holy Spirit who is sweeping across the land to awaken Your People that we have the power to overturn the enemy and to stop their aggressive attempts to stop what You have Promised us. In Jesus Mighty Name we proclaim we are free and we are boldly proclaiming He is Lord and Justice will prevail in our land now and into our future! Father, Your Kingdom is established in Justice and so to here in America we want Your Justice to reign over us. Lord in these days when lies, deceit and false witness prevail we want a return to what our Covenant the Constitution says that our people our free and that we who live by Your Commandments will live in land filled with peace and harmony. Father, this nation has show its desire by the overwhelming vote of its people to re-elect President Trump and to this day still hold to the truth that has been denied us because of trickery and deceit. Lord Your prophets have said that You have promised 4 more years under President Trump so we stand firm in belief and now we will use our voice to speak it into existence in our prayers and in our actions when it is time! Father, we speak out in prayer to our Justice system to render proper decisions to re- in-state President Trump and to certify our vote which was stolen from us. Lord, use us to bring down those who have lied, stolen and cheated for it is time for the end of those who are corrupt! Lord raise up those who are in a position to render Justice like our Supreme Court and the other judges that President Trump appointed! Enough of the charade we see in our government, we want a return of what was established through President Trump and those who were his true assistants. Lord give a backbone and a spine of steal to those who are in positions to make this happen. We know already those who are weak and compromised and those who are turn coats, so know bless and protect those who will do what is right and just in this hour! We know Your Mighty Hand is at work in our nation in this time as the prophets have told us so let Your Glory shine and the Light penetrate the darkness now so we will say when it happens Our God did this! We will all humbly acknowledge that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who is our strength. That we will see more and more of the righteous standing and making that which is meant to happen by Your Will for us happen now! Father we are so thankful for the Healing Mercy You have given us through the Blood of Yeshuah so now we call upon it to wash us clean of all sickness and disease that has struck our land because of our lack of faith and proper care of our temples/bodies. Lord continue to awaken us to the truth that You have given us good men and women who can guide us to restoring us to health. That You desire us to be in good health and prosper in Your Divine Favor! Father in this moment of our prayer touch any among us who are suffering any kind of illness or sickness full restoration and healing! It is Your Will for none who serve You be in ill health. It is Your Perfect Will for us to be in good health and to be a ware of the means...

Think of a husband and wife in a car, the wife tells her husband to turn right at the next junction and by mistake, he turns left. When he realizes what he has done, he says to his wife “I’m sorry love, I went the wrong way.” But if that is all he does, it isn’t enough. Saying sorry isn’t getting them any closer to where they want to be; it isn’t even stopping them from getting further away. To get where they want to be, he needs to stop the car, turn it around and go back on to the correct road that his wife told him to take in the first place. That is repentance. Psalm 51:1-17 NKJV- To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin [is] always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done [this] evil in Your sight--That You may be found just when You speak, [And] blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden [part] You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, [That] the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me [by Your] generous Spirit. 13 [Then] I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give [it]; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart--These, O God, You will not despise. -- Join our bible reading plan: https://bible.com/p/37105438/98d214149e0115fd6b7114ad30095ebf Want to receive text updates from our church?

PRAYER FOCUS: AS THE DAYS ARE FILLED WITH HIS GLORY, WE ARE TO STEP INTO NEW BEGINNINGS! Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, As we step into a New Year here on the earth we come in repentance for all the mistakes and errors we made in this year of 2020. Especially when there were opportunities to speak up to defend the truth or to speak that we are followers of Yeshuah and we seek that Justice prevail in our land. We repent of listening to rumors or slander against the righteous men and women who are doing their best to serve our nation. We repent of all that has twisted or made a mockery of Your Son, Yeshuah in making us feel guilty when there was nothing to feel guilty about. We also repent of losing faith in what has been spoken to us by Your prophetic voices in this nation. But now Lord as we stand at the verge of a New Year we are here to move forward and stand firm to fight for what is right and true. We are here to defend President Trump and all those who are in righteousness aligned with him. We the People will show that it is not right to steal , lie and cheat to gain power over us. Lord we decree and declare this stealing the vote stops now and that the truth will be revealed. Lord let Your Hand swat down all those who are standing in the way of Justice and attempting to over throw that which You have established in the land. That even the voting in Georgia will be upheld without fraud and underhandness! Lord we intercede for the good people who are being honest in their voting. Bless all those who are being righteous and bring to naught all those who are involved with fraud and deception! Father as we step into this New Year we give You glory and honor and thanksgiving for all that You have already blessed us with by having used President Trump in so many ways to uphold Life and bring back to America law and order and in so many ways has even spoken about Your Son, Jesus the Christ! Lord there is so much to be thankful for and we are confident that even more is about to unfold for the spreading of Your Kingdom here in our nation and Israel and other nations where Your People are calling out to You! Lord let Your Glory shine in these days and when miracles of change take place and when we see evil fall like lighting that You will receive all the Glory and mankind will say: God did this! Father, we are here to re-dedicate ourselves to the covenant our nation has with You from the beginning and what we are established to be through our Constitution and and our commitment to the Covenant You have with us through the Blood of Your Son! Lord on this eve of New Year we proclaim what You promised in Your Word that when we listen diligently to Your Voice and obey Your Commands that You will set us up high above all nations of the earth and all Your blessings will come upon us and overtake us! That You will bless our land and that our enemies will be stricken before our face, that our enemies will come against us one way, but they will flee in seven ways. Lord may we see this happen now in this very time when this nation has overwhelming voted for Your anointed leader and let all those who have done this evil to us be smashed by the Hammer of Justice. That the righteous will arise stand firm to defeat our foes and shudder as they face the truth and see their shame exposed in this hour! Lord You have set before us a Great Victory in these early days of the New Year for our trust is in You as You make right that which is wrong in our day! Thank You God for sparing our country and for raising us up to be a part of Your Great Harvest and the miracles that we will see flow from Your Hands! We have such confidence in You, Lord for all that You have Promised is coming to pass. We are ready Lord open the flood gates of heaven as we walk through the Red Sea on dry land and watch our enemy be drowned in Your flood of righteousness! Praise You, Lord!

What I mean by this is do you use words of encouragement such as:I am so proud of the effort you put in todayYou did a great jobIt may not have gone as you wanted but you learned somethingOr, are you making comments like this:You are so stupidYou will never be good at thatYou are not worthyMost people tend to slip into the second category without even thinking about the effect this is having on their self-esteem. We are harsh on our self but we would never dream of saying those things to other people, would we. Why is this? Why are we okay chastising our self when we would not be happy saying the same thing to someone else?Why do we value the feelings of other people more than we value our own?The “Golden rule” tells us to treat other people as we would want to be treated and this is a great thing to remember. My question to you is this: Why would you talk to yourself in a different way than you would want other people to talk to you?Before you start beating yourself up about this I want you to understand that this is a natural response because we have not been taught to value our self as we would value others. I cannot answer why this is the case and in reality, it doesn’t matter what has happened in the past, the important thing is that you start to change it today. I know that this has been my reality and I didn’t realize this until I was 50 years old! I always wanted to please others and would do so at my expense. What I didn’t know was the effect this was having on my confidence and self-esteem. On the surface I appeared confident and self-assured but underneath I was anything but these things. The effect of this was me not loving myself and living in a perpetual state on underlying unhappiness. A mentor of mine, John C. Maxwell, says that you cannot give what you don’t have. So, you may ask, what does this have to do with self-talk? Well, conventional thinking teaches us to love others and while this is true, we have to learn to love our self so that we can give love to other people. In other words, we need to experience the emotion and feelings so that when we do something to make other people feel the same it is a genuine action. I want you to think about the people you admire the most. What do they do that makes you admire them? If you were to meet them what would you say to them?Now the key is to transfer these feelings into how you behave and what you say to yourself. Here are some things that you can do every day to improve your confidence and self-esteem:Write down 3 things that you are grateful forWrite down one thing that you did today which you are proud ofWrite down one lesson that you learned todayWrite down 1-3 things that you said to other people that made you feel goodWrite down 1-3 things that other people said to you that made you feel goodRead 10 pages of a personal development bookI understand that this is going to feel a little strange to start with but I want you to persist. Once you do this for 21 days without missing one day it will become a habit and when this happens it will become natural. I don’t expect you to do all 6 to start with so start with one that speaks to you and master that before adding another. The important thing is that you make a positive change and keep that momentum going. When you do this, you will start to see a difference in your life and I promise you that other people will notice this too. Final message from Chris: Your current circumstance does not define who you are.

Psalm 104-106 New King James Version   Praise to the Sovereign Lord for His Creation and Providence 104 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great:You are clothed with honor and majesty,2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. 3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,Who makes the clouds His chariot,Who walks on the wings of the wind,4 Who makes His angels spirits,His [a]ministers a flame of fire. 5 You who [b]laid the foundations of the earth,So that it should not be moved forever,6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;The waters stood above the mountains.7 At Your rebuke they fled;At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.8 [c]They went up over the mountains;They went down into the valleys,To the place which You founded for them.9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,That they may not return to cover the earth. 10 He sends the springs into the valleys;They flow among the hills.11 They give drink to every beast of the field;The wild donkeys quench their thirst.12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;They sing among the branches.13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. 14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,And vegetation for the service of man,That he may bring forth food from the earth,15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man,Oil to make his face shine,And bread which strengthens man’s heart.16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,17 Where the birds make their nests;The stork has her home in the fir trees.18 The high hills are for the wild goats;The cliffs are a refuge for the rock[d] badgers. 19 He appointed the moon for seasons;The sun knows its going down.20 You make darkness, and it is night,In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.21 The young lions roar after their prey,And seek their food from God.22 When the sun rises, they gather togetherAnd lie down in their dens.23 Man goes out to his workAnd to his labor until the evening. 24 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!In wisdom You have made them all.The earth is full of Your possessions—25 This great and wide sea,In which are innumerable teeming things,Living things both small and great.26 There the ships sail about;There is that Leviathan[e]Which You have [f]made to play there. 27 These all wait for You,That You may give them their food in due season.28 What You give them they gather in;You open Your hand, they are filled with good.29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;And You renew the face of the earth. 31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;May the Lord rejoice in His works.32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;He touches the hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.34 May my meditation be sweet to Him;I will be glad in the Lord.35 May sinners be consumed from the earth,And the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul![g]Praise the Lord! The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord 105 Oh, give thanks to the Lord!Call upon His name;Make known His deeds among the peoples!2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;Talk of all His wondrous works!3 Glory in His holy name;Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!4 Seek the Lord and His strength;Seek His face evermore!5 Remember His marvelous works which He has done,His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,6 O seed of Abraham His servant,You children of Jacob, His chosen ones! 7 He is the Lord our God;His judgments are in all the earth.8 He remembers His covenant forever,The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,9 The covenant which He made with Abraham,And His oath to Isaac,10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel as an everlasting covenant,11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of CanaanAs the allotment of your inheritance,”12 When they were few in number,Indeed very few, and strangers in it. 13 When they went from one nation to another,From one kingdom to another people,14 He permitted no one to do them wrong;Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,And do My prophets no harm.” 16 Moreover He called for a famine in the land;He destroyed all the provision of bread.17 He sent a man before them—Joseph—who was sold as a slave.18 They hurt his feet with fetters,[h]He was laid in irons.19 Until the time that his word came to pass,The word of the Lord tested him.20 The king sent and released him,The ruler of the people let him go free.21 He made him lord of his house,And ruler of all his possessions,22 To [i]bind his princes at his pleasure,And teach his elders wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt,And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.24 He increased His people greatly,And made them stronger than their enemies.25 He turned their heart to hate His people,To deal craftily with His servants. 26 He sent Moses His servant,And Aaron whom He had chosen.27 They performed His signs among them,And wonders in the land of Ham.28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;And they did not rebel against His word.29 He turned their waters into blood,And killed their fish.30 Their land abounded with frogs,Even in the chambers of their kings.31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,And lice in all their territory.32 He gave them hail for rain,And flaming fire in their land.33 He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,And splintered the trees of their territory.34 He spoke, and locusts came,Young locusts without number,35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,And devoured the fruit of their ground.36 He also [j]destroyed all the firstborn in their land,The first of all their strength. 37 He also brought them out with silver and gold,And there was none feeble among His tribes.38 Egypt was glad when they departed,For the fear of them had fallen upon them.39 He spread a cloud for a covering,And fire to give light in the night.40 The people asked, and He brought quail,And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out;It ran in the dry places like a river. 42 For He remembered His holy promise,And Abraham His servant.43 He brought out His people with joy,His chosen ones with [k]gladness.44 He gave them the lands of the [l]Gentiles,And they inherited the labor of the nations,45 That they might observe His statutesAnd keep His laws. [m]Praise the Lord! Joy in Forgiveness of Israel’s Sins 106 Praise[n] the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!For His mercy endures forever. 2 Who can [o]utter the mighty acts of the Lord?Who can declare all His praise?3 Blessed are those who keep justice,And [p]he who does righteousness at all times! 4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people.Oh, visit me with Your salvation,5 That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones,That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,That I may glory with [q]Your inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers,We have committed iniquity,We have done wickedly.7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,That He might make His mighty power known.9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up;So He led them through the depths,As through the wilderness.10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.11 The waters covered their enemies;There was not one of them left.12 Then they believed His words;They sang His praise. 13 They soon forgot His works;They did not wait for His counsel,14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,And tested God in the desert.15 And He gave them their request,But sent leanness into their soul. 16 When they envied Moses in the camp,And Aaron the saint of the Lord,17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,And covered the faction of Abiram.18 A fire was kindled in their company;The flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb,And worshiped the molded image.20 Thus they changed their gloryInto the image of an ox that eats grass.21 They forgot God their Savior,Who had done great things in Egypt,22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,Awesome things by the Red Sea.23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them,Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach,To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them. 24 Then they despised the pleasant land;They did not believe His word,25 But complained in their tents,And did not heed the voice of the Lord.26 Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them,To [r]overthrow them in the wilderness,27 To [s]overthrow their descendants among the [t]nations,And to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,And ate sacrifices [u]made to the dead.29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,And the plague broke out among them.30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,And the plague was stopped.31 And that was accounted to him for righteousnessTo all generations forevermore. 32 They angered Him also at the waters of [v]strife,So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;33 Because they rebelled against His Spirit,So that he spoke rashly with his lips. 34 They did not destroy the peoples,Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,35 But they mingled with the GentilesAnd learned their works;36 They served their idols,Which became a snare to them.37 They even sacrificed their sonsAnd their daughters to demons,38 And shed innocent blood,The blood of their sons and daughters,Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;And the land was polluted with blood.39 Thus they [w]were defiled by their own works,And played[x] the harlot by their own deeds. 40 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,So that He abhorred His own inheritance.41 And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles,And those who hated them ruled over them.42 Their enemies also oppressed them,And they were brought into subjection under their hand.43 Many times He delivered them;But they rebelled in their counsel,And were brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,When He heard their cry;45 And for their sake He remembered His covenant,And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.46 He also made them to be pitiedBy all those who carried them away captive. 47 Save us, O Lord our God,And gather us from among the Gentiles,To give thanks to Your holy name,To triumph in Your praise. 48 Blessed be the Lord God of IsraelFrom everlasting to everlasting!And let all the people say, “Amen!”

A very common theme that I see most often, the one that really jumped out the most was that you wanted help with triggers specifically on how not to be triggered when you saw someone else's post online. That is why I am sharing my five steps you can do in the moment when you feel triggered and start to compare. This is something I work on with my clients inside my signature Breast Cancer Thriver program.Topics discussed in this episode:How to not feel triggered when you view other postsStopping the scan to scan and looking deeper into ourselvesFinding ways that we can still support our sisterhood and still take care of ourselvesHow life doesn’t have to be an either-or situationKey takeaways:That life can be a both-and situationHow we can switch our mindset and the tips to do thatYou can support your friends, your community, and yourselfAnd really start to live in the present to see a changeAction step:Take empowered action and do the backend work, stop living scan to scan, do the backend work, and live in the present.Lauren said:“Life is not a collection of either or scenarios. It's about choice. It's about abundance. It's about limitlessness. And one of my first mentors pointed out to me, you know, my own either-or mentality. She got me to shift my mindset. From either, or by adopting this mantra, it's not either, or it's both. And, and that was so helpful for me.”“Stop and breathe and discern what emotion or emotions you're actually experiencing because that will help you heal. Let go, and prevent future spirals. So. It's important to pause, breathe and discern how you actually feel and take action on the emotion that you feel. So is it stress? Is it fear? Whatever it is, identify it.”Thanks so much for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 3 Vital Steps to THRIVE after BC mini course yet, download it now!

PRAYER FOCUS: GOD’S PERFECT WILL TO GOVERN OVER OUR NATION! Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, We speak firmly that we want Your Perfect Will to govern over America! Father, Your Kingdom is based on Justice and so want Justice to rule over us now and into our future! Law and order so that everyone is protected and safe to worship You as Your Son has spoken in spirit and truth! Father as we are gathered here in Your Court of Heaven we declare before You we repent of being either knowingly or unknowingly involved in allowing America to be desecrated by worship of Molech or Baal in child sacrifice through abortion and perversion of children in trafficking. By the Blood of Jesus and through the authority He has given us we throw off the curse of death on this nation. We replace it Lord with our crying out for Life and the protection of the sacred womb of woman. Lord that in these days we will see Roe v. Wade reversed and true respect of woman will be our highest standard. We have been silent too long Lord so we here we are today proclaiming All Life Matters from its conception to the day one returns to You in our transition called death. We know Life is forever and we know Your have great plans for us now and for all eternity! Your Kingdom come now and forever! Father, in this time of prayer we see the vision of a red tsunami of change! That as the waters crest to come crashing down on all that is not of You especially all those who have robbed, lied, stolen and yes, even murdered to have their way, they will see all their evil fall and be drowned as You did to the Egyptians chasing the Israelites through the Red Sea. It is time now Lord to see what we have been praying for and repenting for and seeking by our actions and yes by our voting that we will see the righteous be placed in positions of governance over America. Lord that the Congress and the Senate will be filled with those who will work with President Trump to brig forth a restoration of America. That we will be that Light on the Hill for the world to see and hear the Truth to spread across the earth. That what the Holy Spirit is blowing across the land will be done now in these days of voting and we will fully recover from all the enemy has placed upon us. Captivity is not of You, Father, for Your Son has set us free and we are free indeed! Father, as we are gathered here together we speak in the authority that Your Son has given us to bind the strong man and his strongholds in education and the educational system that has become indoctrination of hate and a no God idea will crash now. That parents are awakened to fulfill their duty to bring their children up in a true fear and reverence of You, Father. That we will see a flourishing of homeschooling and that a new educational approach will dominate the land. That You will bless us with a new breed of teachers who will inspire and train up our youth to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit in their lives. That the young will have visions of what You have planned for us in the days ahead. Just as the prophet Joel had proclaimed and Peter spoke on the Day of Pentecost our young will have visions and the old will dream dreams that will show us Your Glory Lord. Now is the time for us so we have a Hope and Joy in our hearts that as You have said in Your Word the wicked will perish and righteous will prevail and walk in Your Blessings. This that time Lord and we are so grateful You have chosen us to be here and to be a part of what You have Willed for us to have! Father, in this hour we forbid anything that is not of Your Perfect Will for us over our nation. We bind any people, parties, agendas, structures, laws, statues, rules and ordinances or cultural norms to have no say in our lives! We are a free people under Your Governance! Thank You, Father for the restoration that has begun and that more and more Americans are aware of what is at stake with this ...

Acts 13:44-52 – Jealousy, the ThiefOctober 4, 202044 The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming. 46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us, ‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,That You may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’” 48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. A Parable Come to LifeMatthew 20:1-16 Envy, Jealousy’s Fraternal Twin Jealousy, the ThiefJealousy Steals Our Fellowship with GodGalatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 Jealousy Steals Our Fellowship with OthersJames 4:1-2 Jealousy Steals the Effectiveness of Service1 Corinthians 13:1-4, James 3:16 Jealousy Steals Our JoyProverbs 14:30, Matthew 20:10-11 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.(1 Timothy 6:6)

(Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 MSG) A right time for birth and another for death, A right time to plant and another to reap, A right time to destroy and another to construct, A right time to cry and another to laugh, A right time to lament and another to cheer, A right time to embrace and another to part, A right time to search and another to count your losses, A right time to hold on and another to let go, A right time to rip out and another to mend, A right time to shut up and another to speak up. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 MSG) The old saying goes: “Timing is everything.” That is especially true when we consider being obedient to God and His timing. Realizing and accepting when we should let go of holding onto something from our past can be so difficult for us on so many levels. But yet letting go is such a right and natural part of life. Navigating seasons in life, we cannot grab hold of the future until we let go of the past. We cannot die until we are born. We cannot harvest with planting. We cannot tear down that which we never built. We cannot turn away from something we never embraced. Sometimes letting go can make us feel less-than or create the false assumption that we are giving away a part of our heart we may never get back. But think of it this way: we cannot harvest, heal, mend, or dance while holding onto unhealthy things in our lives. Is God calling you to heal but you can’t because you’re still allowing bitterness to hurt your spirit? Is it time for you to experience a final letting go and forgive someone? Listen again to a personalized version of Ecclesiastes 3:1-7: A right time [for me] for birth and another for death, A right time [for me] to plant and another to reap, A right time [for me] to destroy and another to construct, A right time [for me] to cry and another to laugh, A right time [for me] to lament and another to cheer, A right time [for me] to embrace and another to part, A right time [for me] to search and another to count your losses, A right time [for me] to hold on and another to let go, A right time [for me] to rip out and another to mend, A right time [for me] to shut up and another to speak up, Let today be your day to let go, to forgive, to be born, harvest, heal, build up, laugh, dance, gather, embrace, mend, and speak new life. Let’s pray: “Father, thank You for Your timing. That You give us seasons of change. That You allow us to experience freedom from the past, hurts, and harm that we have done and experienced from others. Please grant me the freedom today to forgive and let go. As above, so below.”

If you've ever been in a conversation where you were thinking, "I'd love to have those kinds of problems" this is an episode you need to hear. For those of us who have kids with a life-threatening disease like addiction, it can be hard to navigate relationships with people who have what we think of as "normal" problems. We retreat and isolate to avoid them or we might blow up or blame our friends and family for worrying about things we perceive to be trivial. This is also an important episode to listen to if you have a friend or family member who is dealing with a teen or young adult child who's misusing substances. You'll gain empathy and understanding for why they may be more absent than normal, or why they may get upset or angry when you have what should be uneventful conversations.Give yourself the gift of 20 minutes to hear:ways to change your perspective on other people's problems or complaintsan experiment to try that may give you more control over your emotionsa tip for coping day to day without falling apartactual words to use with well-meaning friends and family to help you avoid exploding with angerwhy it's important to get your sea-legs and how to do thatYou can find the show notes here.If you're a mom who needs strength and support while your child is experimenting with or addicted to drugs or recovering from addiction, please join our private, positive online community, The Stream, at www.brendazane.com/thestream.Download my free ebook “HINDSIGHT: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Addicted to Drugs

Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, “That You may be justified in Your words, And prevail when You are judged.” 5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.) 6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just.

MANIFESTED GLORY 33Standing Through CrisisPastor Sally Snow – 8/9/20I. STANDING THROUGH CRISIS1. Waiting and standing is part of the faith process.Eph 6:13-14 NKJV Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore...Eph 6:10-11 NKJV Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.Stand: continue; abide; establish; hold up; remain valid or unaltered; remain on a specified course, state or condition; able to endure; a determined effort to resist or fight something; holding one’s ground; resisting an opposing force2. God gives me strength to endure until change comes.Heb 10:35-36 NKJV Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.Plan; wisdom; favor; miracle; strength3. While I’m standing, I am resting in expectation.Exodus 14:13-14 AMPC Moses told the people, fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.So what are the causes of the waiting process?1.

PRAYER FOCUS: LISTENING WITH OUR HEARTS WE FOLLOW THE COMMANDS OF OUR GOD! Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, We are armored up and ready to move forward to take back anything the enemy has stolen or taken from us by their deceptions and plans of destruction to ourselves and to our land of America.  Father release Your Holy Angels to put a protective shield around us so that none of the fiery darts of the enemy can affect us.  That You reveal to us their secrets and their plans so that we are well prepared to overthrow and destroy them right where they stand.  Just as You had Elijah destroy the prophets of Baal may we know armed with the Sword of Justice destroy the enemy and overcome any of their plots and schemes with the Blood of Jesus!   We know we are victorious for Your Son has already defeated the works of the devil and we are given His Authority to continue  in His place and to do even more than He did.   Thank You, Father for the great privilege to fight and protect Your kingdom now and into the future. We will put our foot on the neck of the enemy and see them surrender at the foot of the Cross of Jesus. Father, continue to awaken the people of America to the enemy that is in our land and who disguise themselves to sound like they are righteous when they are nothing more than wolves in sheep clothing.   That the lies and deception of Black Lives Matter, Antifa and other organizations that are really nothing more than hateful and destructive to bring anarchy and lawlessness into the land.  May more and more of our Youth awaken and rise up to bring about change that is in accord with our heritage of Faith in Jesus the Christ and the foundation of our rules of law and order based upon the 10 Commandments as our founding fathers truly considered and used to lead us to be a nation under God’s direction.  You never gave us a spirit of fear but a strong mind to perceive right from wrong and to follow Your Commands as Moses gave to the children of Israel, so we too take them up because Your Son, has shown us how they are to be fulfilled and now under the New Covenant they written into our hearts and now we walk by Faith and have Hope that all will come to pass that You have promised so that we will live in Love, a love that is filled with peace and harmony to share with all of our brothers and sisters here in America, in Israel and all over the earth. That Your Kingdom come now! Father, we intercede for Your People who are confused and upet because we have government officials who distract us and issues orders that are opposed to what the President is doing and in their own way are lording it over us making us feel guilty that we care not for one another.  Lord, it is so disappointing that they leaders clearly do not align themselves what President Trump is doing for America.  May we rise up as a people and use the power of our vote and get these ones out of office as soon as we can.  Lord, give us Wisdom and Discernment to protect our privilege to vote for our government.  That we will choose those who are righteous over those who are liars and cheats.  Lord, silence those who speak falsely about what we are to do in regard to this issue of Covid-19.  Lord You have let it Passover us and so we can be free to live an abundant life and not be ruled by the lies of men who are afraid to let go of control of the power they have acquired.  Let it stop now Lord we are free and walk in Divine health and Favor by the Blood of Jesus. Father , continue to protect President Trump from all the evil forces who are trying to destroy him and all that he has been doing for America.  He is Your anointed for this hour and so we are here to support and proclaim he will be re-elected and that all of the plans of the enemy to slander and defeat him are nothing more than foolishness.  Lord as You have said in Your Word: the plans of the earth belong to man,

Heroic Act of Humility 2 Kings 5:14The Widow of Zarephath performs a heroic act of faith.Naaman the Syrian performs a humble act of faith, but for him , it is also a heroic act of faith. For Him, it likely is the hardest thing.Remember that we are officially in Luke 4 wondering what is so very offensive about all this that they try to throw Jesus off a cliff. It is that Your Ways are not my ways. That Salvation comes to the undeserving. That You choose people who I definitely would not choose. We are a whole lot like Naamen in our story. Prideful, provincial and pouty. When God shows up in an unexpected, radical way he at first makes quite a poor showing. Probably, so did you. Misunderstanding. Wrestling. Fighting with God and with people around you who are just trying to talk some sense into your life. Listen and see if you are like our anti-hero Naamen. You probably won't like it.

Hurt! No! That doesn't even touch the surface of how I feel. You promised that I wouldn't feel like this. That You would give me joy. That I would have peace. You said You never lie but how am I supposed to believe that? Night and day, I'm constantly beaten up by the same people that you have asked me to love yet you say I have joy? How do You explain this anger I feel in spite of your promise of peace? Day after day, my mind is whipped and bruised. The torment is unbearable. Your son already went through this for me so why do you still let me suffer so much? I'm tired of this. Why have you left me to do this alone? If it's something I did, I'm sorry. I need you back. I'm carrying all this pain on my own and I can't let go. I've lived with tears for a while but he won't take any weight off. Where have you gone? You promised that you'll never leave so where are you now that I need you most? I have all these excesses and I have no one to help me. It's quiet now and Through the tears, I hear your voice saying one thing over and over - "let go". I see now that You never left. . . . --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talkwitsarah/message

PRAYER FOCUS: HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND IT WILL GO WELL WITH YOU IN THE LAND! Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, What a privilege it is to call You ABBA/Daddy as Your Son has taught us.  Because of our faith in Him we can draw close to You and the closeness is very intimate for You have said You knew us before You formed us in our mother’s womb.  That You treasure each one of us a valuable part of Your Family.  We have much to look forward to as You have great plans for us and as Your Son has told us You have a special place for each of us with Your for all eternity, but even now we have a great place in Your plan for dwelling with us as we are here on earth now!   Father, we repent of anything that we have done to limit us in Your Will for us.   We claim and declare the Blood of Jesus covers us and washes us clean to be here in Your Presence at this very moment!  What a miracle Father that at this very moment as we pray You are closer to us than we could ever imagine.  We love You, Father and are so grateful for this moment to be with You! Father, in these moments of our prayer we intercede for our nation, for we are in need to re-establish Your Plan for the family because of what we have allowed the world to dictate to us.  Father  forgive us for treating our mothers and fathers with disrespect and lack of honor.  Father, our nation is suffering because of what has happened to the family, especially through our judicial system that has  made fathers our to be mean and abusive and that mothers are treated poorly to make them stand alone  in raising their children.  Lord we need sweeping reforms through out our courts where the bribe is more important and the tongue wagging of accusation and false testimony wins the argument or the prejudice of the judge prevails.  It is time Lord, for us we Your People to speak up and declare we want Justice.  We want law and order.  We want judges to be fair and uphold the Constitution!  We want the family to longer be torn apart but find means to repair any breach and to stand in the gap for the children sake!  Father, that we will be concerned about our children’s welfare even if the parents are unable to be together.  Father we need a strong convicting power of the Holy Spirit in our land so that families will be united and that mothers and fathers will be able to fulfill their roles for their children.   Father that mothers will show respect to the children for their fathers and that fathers will show the same respect for the mother!  Lord breathe upon the land new life for our families.  Let Your Love flow and wake us up to see how we can fix it and truly be committed to one another in making the family the core of our life in America. Lord we proclaim no more abortions or the feeding of the children to evil worship of Molech or any other false god.  That we will see America truly a land of Liberty and respecter of Life from conception to the moment we are to return to You!  Lord, children are blessing from You and we want families to be protected and honored as You have established it! Lord we proclaim we are want the root of this darkness dead at its roots.  That those who promote discord and destruction to the family be made aware not here in our land!  We want life and we want abundantly as Your Son has given us! Lord, we proclaim that we honor our mothers and fathers for the life that they have given us  and that we have the fathers return to the families and that the children are blessed by each father. We proclaim that mothers be given the honor and respect for being a vessel of love to bring forth the gift of life in their womb.  Lord that America again cherish life and promote adoption instead of abortion. Tat as Mother Teresa once said bring the children so they can be loved and nourished!  Lord thank You for our children.  Thank You, Father that You have given us a President that says our nation worships...

Our Hope is in You O Lord there is no one else! Trust is our battle cry!  Trust in You! Lord, we are so thankful that You have anointed President Trump to lead us during this time. We are thankful that You have given him confidence to use his authority as President to make decisions that cover America ad that he has a heart for our people.  We are confident that You O Lord place men and women of righteousness around him that the holy Spirit will use to give him the guidance he needs during this time and to even in plans for our future.  We trust You Lord that You will remove any of the betrayers or those who are plotting against this man.  That this is the time s the prophet Mark Taylor and others have spoken the corrupt will be removed.  That we will see president Trump even ap[point new Justices to the Supreme Court and decisions like Roe v. Wade will crash before Your Presence.  That America is slated to return to its roots, even though there is turmoil now it will not last forever because decisive action will be taken and those of us who are in the trenches of prayer will see that Your will for us will be done! No doubt just Trust! Father, it is in trust that we will see those who have been foolish in their liberal ways of trying to keep peace with evil will fall to the wayside and those who You raise up in righteousness will prevail.  The Holy Spirit is blowing the winds of change a cross America, even in the flames we see that are destructive we are awakening to a renewed  spirit of wanting law and order.  That Justice will prevail and those who have been partakers in this evil will be prosecuted and suffer the consequences of their choices.  Lord, Your people are tired of the lies and deceit of those who are wolves in sheep clothing even in our churches.  We have seen enough snakes and snake charmers leading us into falsehood of the Gospel. It is time during these days of turmoil to bring about a renewed spirit in us to say enough! Righteousness prevails and Justice reigns in our Land!  Just as it is in Your Kingdom in heaven it is now on the earth and we Your Warriors are here to proclaim ait and declare and so shall it be!  In the Authority of Jesus we bind all that is evil and all that is false worship of a devil who is no god to be crushed now!  That we as a nation return to our roots in Christ Jesus and that we actively will partake in the change that is laid out before us.  We are no longer here to hide and cower for the coming, but we are here to do our part for You see us worthy and valuable to fulfill Your Will on earth as it is in heaven!

PRAYER FOCUS: ARE YOU NUMBERED AMONG HIS WARRIORS? ARE YOU A NUMBER OR ARE YOU COMMITTED? Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, We place ourselves in Your Hands seeking to be under Your protective Wing to keep us safe from any of the firey darts of the enemy.. Place Your holy Angels around so that these moments we spend with You the enemy will be distracted and nothing will interfere with our time with You even technically to be open and under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit!  Lord we are here to give You all the Glory, praise and honor in thanksgiving.  We are Your Army Father, and we stand under the banner of our Lord Jesus Christ for it is by His Blood that we are made whole and clean to serve You and be one with Your heart all of our days!

Father put special protection over our President Trump and all those who in this day are bringing to Justice the deep state that is filled with evil to make America a nation subject to the world order and other demonic ideas of captivity and control.  Give our AG William Barr  and all those who are working with him insights from the Holy Spirit to bring about the destruction and deliverance from the deep state.  Let more and more revelation come to make us more aware of how Your plan to save us as Light of Hope to the world is being fulfilled now by those You have anointed to lead us and You are continuing to raise up in this hour to be people of righteousness!  Lord as the prophets of our day have proclaimed You have a plan and it will be fulfilled in our day and we as Your people pray it to be so and are in agreement with Your Word for we are here to live it and be it now and for the future! Lord, in our moments alone with You let us see how valuable and worthy we are to You.  That You have bought us at a great price the Love poured out by Your Son, Jesus the Christ.  Lord we are more than just a number we are Yours our hearts are committed to You and we are here to do Your Will.  Let it unfold before us now as we will see as Your see and be the clay You will form into the Image of your Son so that the world will know You love us with an everlasting love and all we must do is regret anything that has displeased Your heart, so that we repent and know Your forgiveness covers us and so we are made one in Your Family that pleases You and delights Your heart.  Thank You Father in the Name of Your Son, Jesus in the Unity of the Holy Spirit!

Psalm 52 New King James Version (NKJV) The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly To the Chief Musician.

Title: What We Know Text: I John 5:18-21 FCF: We often struggle desiring to get to God by means that are unavailable. Prop: God is the only source for life, righteousness, and freedom from Satan and this world, so we must serve God alone. Scripture Intro: NET [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to I John chapter 5. Today we will conclude our examination of every single thought of John’s in his first epistle. Certainly, each thought is woven and laced together in a tapestry of truth. So although we complete the actual text of I John today, next week we will take flight and observe the whole of the book from start to finish and understand in summery what John is teaching his readers and therefore us. Last week, and even the week prior, we saw that John has written everything he has written so that everyone who is a believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God might know that they have eternal life. Springing from that knowledge John finishes his letter with 4 things that those who know they have eternal life, also know. Last week we saw that those who know they have eternal life – know that whatever they ask in the will of God, He will not only hear but give unto His children. Including the intercessory prayer of one child for another. Today John will give 3 more items that we who know we have eternal life, do also know. But knowledge is not the end all for John. Rather than finishing with simply “here are 4 things you ought to know” John issues a command as the final word in his letter. Now in this letter – commands are actually quite infrequent. And really, this is the case throughout the New Testament. The apostles wrote doctrine – what is true –it is only after digging the hole of doctrine and shoving our roots deep, do they then command us to grow in that place. So John, after issuing four assured things we ought to know springing from our assurance of our own eternal life – he then commands his readers. I am in I John 5 starting in verse 18. I’ll be reading from the NET but follow along in whatever version you have. Transition: Well I am anxious. Let’s get to the final thought of John. I.) God protects His children, so we must serve God alone. (18) a. [Slide 2] 18 – We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin i. John again inserts himself with his readers. WE know. Not you, not I, but we know. ii. Knowledge here is faith, it is deep, personal conviction. It is truth that we are intimately acquainted to and bonded with. iii. So springing from our knowledge that we have eternal life – what else can we know? iv. That everyone fathered by God does not sin. v. To be fathered of God is set in a tense of the Greek language that this has happened at some point in the past with ongoing effects to the very moment that John pens the words. vi. In other words, everyone who has been and is fathered of God… does not sin. vii. This verb is in the present tense in Greek, and can describe an activity that someone does or is doing. The subtlety there should not be lost. viii. There is of course a difference between someone who pitches a baseball and someone who is pitching a baseball. One describes a person who commonly pitches a baseball. The other describes a person who is in that process of pitching a baseball. ix. But regardless of whether someone pitches or is pitching we can describe the person as a pitcher. x. John is essentially saying that a person Fathered by God ought not be classified as someone who is a sinner. That doesn’t mean they don’t EVER sin once, nor does it mean they can’t carry on a sin for a short time, but it does mean that if someone were to call that person a sinner we’d all say – well that doesn’t sound like them. xi. Those fathered of God are those who can no longer be described as someone who carries on a lifestyle of sin. xii. I think there is also a level of purpose or intentionality here too. It may be that you find someone fathered of God in sin, but you would be hard pressed to find someone fathered of God pursuing sin. xiii. Those fathered of God are no longer under the yoke of slavery to sin, so therefore they can no longer act as slaves to it. xiv. Why? b. [Slide 3] But God protects the one he has fathered i. This is quite a difficult phrase and produces one of the most perplexing textual issues in all of the book of I John. ii. Literally this verse would read up to this point “We know that whoever has been and continues to be born from God does not sin but the one who was born from God he keeps him” iii. This poses two questions to us: 1 -Who is the one who was born of God and 2 - Who keeps who? 1. [Slide 4] Who is the one who was born of God? a. The one who was born of God could be referring to all who would be believers. i. However, before in this very verse, John says everyone who has been and is born of God… it is strange that now he says the one who was born of God. Simple past tense. ii. Therefore, John seems to set up a difference between everyone who has been and is born of God and one who was born of God. b. It is possible that John is using this entire phrase as a pendant nominative. i. Which means that it is a phrase set outside of a sentence to define something within the sentence. ii. The NET translators have taken this position. They have replaced the “him” with this phrase to indicate that it is a phrase to specify who the “him” is in the sentence. The only difficulty with this is that it is primarily an interpretational judgment. Difficult to prove in raw grammar. c. The one who was born of God could mean Jesus i. This would fit quite well with the change that John makes between everyone and the one. Although God does continue to communicate His divine essence to His Son and has always and will always – it is not improper to point to a time in the past in which God birthed or fathered Christ. ii. In fact, John may have in mind the very human nature of Jesus here. d. A Final interpretation relies on a textual variant which would turn this from “the one fathered of God” to “the fathering of God” by turning this from a passive participle into a noun. However, there are only a few manuscripts that have this change – leaving us with doubt that it is original. 2. [Slide 5] Who keeps who? a. If this is referring to Jesus, than the him in this sentence would be the one fathered from God who does not sin. Allowing us to see the reason for the one fathered from God not sinning, is because Jesus protects Him from sin. This is something John already said in chapter 2 that Jesus Christ the righteous one is our advocate before the Father interceding on our behalf and providing His righteousness to us. b. If you take it as God protecting him – it would be the same meaning c. However, the one that gets confusing is if we interpret this as believers keep him… him who? d. There is another textual variant here that could provide an answer and several manuscripts actually have this in it. Instead of he keeps him, it would actually read he keeps himself. But this presents some fairly difficult problems for us. i. How do Christians keep themselves? Is this even theologically accurate? ii. Indeed, if we are talking about keeping themselves particularly from sin- which is what he is saying is in the context – how does that harmonize with the reality that John just instructed people to pray for Christians committing sins? iii. How can John so matter of factly assume that Christians do not continue in sin, when they are responsible to keep themselves from it? iv. Indeed we have solved a grammar problem to unhinge the entire book. v. So what do we do with the problem of several manuscripts using this reflexive pronoun here? vi. While there are several manuscripts that have this as a reflexive pronoun, there are just as old of manuscripts that have this simply as “him” vii. In my estimation him seems to be the most likely. Why? Because it is the harder reading. We’ve already seen John use 3 pronouns in one sentence to refer to 3 different people not 2 verses ago. Perhaps in an effort to clarify John’s thoughts, a scribe inserted the 1 letter it would take to change this word form him to himself? iv. So, coming up for air – after all that – what does this mean? What is the bottom line? v. Personally, I side with most commentators that John can be so sure that those fathered of God will not continue in sin because Jesus Christ Himself is actively at work to protect His people from a life of sin. He intercedes on our behalf. vi. And because Jesus keeps them… c. [Slide 6] And the evil one cannot touch him. i. They are unable to be touched ii. They are off limits from the evil one. iii. This point he will expand on in the next verse. d. [Slide 7] Passage Truth: So, John to his readers is laying down 3 major concepts that they know because they have been assured that they have eternal life. The first is that they are fathered of God and will not continue to live a lifestyle of sin because Jesus Himself will protect them from the evil one. He will keep them safe. e. Passage Application: The application has yet to be revealed for his readers. Obviously, there is the implied application to take comfort in this truth – but John has something else on his mind. Some other explicit command that he will give to them in due time. f. [Slide 8] Broader Biblical Truth: Zooming out from I John we understand that Jesus is the protector of His people. He prayed for His disciples. He told them that Satan wanted to destroy them but that He had prayed for them and kept them safe. And He continues to do this, for all His disciples. His protection though is not simply from attack but from sin and power. The world has been charmed by Satan’s lies and they sit comfortably in his influence without thought and without care. But we, we who have been fathered by God, we are free of his charms. We are now slaves of Christ. And Christ has crushed the serpent, and is continuing to crush him under our feet. g. Broader Biblical Application: Since John has not applied this to his readers yet – it is difficult for us to apply it as well. But we can say that God’s true children are free from the power of Satan because of the power of Christ. Transition: [Slide 9(blank)] What a marvelous savior we serve. Not only does He save us from sin and death – but He CONTINUES to save us from sin and death. He is our protection from the evil one. What else do we know having been assured that we have eternal life? II.) Satan holds power over the world not us, so we must serve God alone. (19) a. [Slide 10] 19 – We know that we are from God i. So because we know that we have eternal life – springing from that we can also know something else. ii. We know that we are from God. iii. This is speaking less to our origin and more to our authority and who we report to iv. This speaks of belonging and parentage. v. We are His children, His possession, His creation. vi. We belong completely to Him. vii. This is holiness. viii. God has set us apart, he has set us aside, reserved us for a holy purpose. We are His possession designed to be and actually being wholly devoted to Him. ix. We are His. We are special. We are a masterpiece with which He plans to bring glory and honor to Himself by our lives being conformed to His Son. x. But what of those who are not God’s own possession? b. [Slide 11] And the whole world i. We saw this phrase before in chapter 2. We saw how scripture uses this phrase in several different ways to speak of several different large groups of people. ii. Oftentimes when we read a phrase like “the whole world” we assume all mankind, from all time. And even though that is one way scripture uses the phrase, we need to be careful we do not apply that in every case. iii. For instance in chapter 2, we determined that it meant the whole of humankind that God had predestined for adoption as sons. Not just from this time and region but from all time and all lands. iv. Here, it is very obvious that by saying the whole world – John means the opposite of what he meant in I John 2:2. Here he means the whole of humanity that are not from God, from all time and from all places. v. John in this text draws an us and them comparison. Those whom God has set apart for whole devotion to Him are set in contrast to everyone else who… c. [Slide 12] Lies in the power of the evil one. i. All the rest of humanity who are not from God are in the power of the evil one. ii. Literally this would read “the whole world lies in the evil one” iii. Again this speaks of possession, and belonging. iv. The whole world who are not of God are of their father the devil and they are under his direct power and control. v. And implied here with the verb lies – is that they do so docilly. It is almost as if they don’t even know where they have made their bed in which to slumber. vi. But not us. Not those who are of God. We are not under such power or control. We belong to a different master. d. [Slide 13] Passage Truth: Here John expresses to his readers the truth that God possesses His own. They are His. He has set them aside for His honor and pleasure. They are not able to be touched by the evil one because they are His. But the world in which they live is a slave to the evil one. e. Passage Application: Again John withholds his true application but we might still jump to comfort in this. Even though the world is in the arms of Satan – They who are God’s are safe from Satan’s power. f. [Slide 14] Broader Biblical Truth: Zooming out from I John we see this truth throughout the Scriptures. God’s people are safe from the power of all who would oppose them. If God desires them to go and do, there is nothing that can stop them. They may be opposed. They may be hindered. But ultimately, they will not be stopped. g. Broader Biblical Application: For we who are God’s, this IS great comfort. However, to those who are not, it is quite troubling. Because they lie in the power of Satan. Docile they relax in his power and embrace. They do not even realize they are there. Transition: [Slide 15 (blank)] God’s holy possession is kept by Christ Himself. But those who are not of the Father – lay docilly under the power of Satan. Never being awoken, because they don’t even know they are asleep in his jaws. But what else do we know having been assured that we have eternal life? III.) Jesus has given us faith to be united to God through Himself and therefore united to life, so we must serve God alone. (20-21) a. [Slide 16] 20 – And we know that the Son of God has come i. The final thing we know that springs from our confidence that we have eternal life is this… ii. We know that the Son of God has come. iii. Has come here is actually in the present tense – so is come. But for English speakers this is a difficult concept to convey that the arrival of him is a present reality. iv. So we are forced to say it – has come to try to help us imagine Jesus’ coming in the flesh as God’s Son as a present reality that happened in the past but is still very much affecting us. v. So we know that he has come – but what else? b. [Slide 17] And has given us insight to know Him who is true, i. We also know that he has given and continues to give us insight to know Him who is true. ii. Who is true? iii. God is the true one. iv. The only way to the Father is through Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life and if you have seen the son you have seen the Father. v. Jesus gives us the ability to know the true God. vi. What else? c. [Slide 18] And we are in Him who is true, i. Through Jesus we have also been placed in God. ii. There is unity here. iii. Not only does Jesus say – I and the Father are one – but to those who are children of God, we also are one with the Father iv. How? d. [Slide 19] In His Son Jesus Christ. i. By being united with His Son Jesus Christ. ii. This unity with Christ produces unity with the Father. This is exactly what John said at the beginning of the letter. Unity to God, through Christ, and even (as he said then) through the apostles’ witness of Christ in flesh. iii. So we know the Father through the Son. iv. It is so woven together that John says this next… e. [Slide 20] This one is the true God and eternal life. i. Which one? ii. It literally doesn’t matter. Pick one. The answer is yes. iii. Jesus and the Father are one and they is the true God and they is eternal life. iv. Jesus is the way to understand God, He is the truth of God, and He is the Life God offers and through Him we are united to the True one, the life-giver, the almighty God. v. WOW! vi. That is some hardcore theology there. vii. Does it not paint the picture for us – that our only hope to ever know God is to know His Son? The path to God is through Jesus Christ! And Christ Alone! viii. Many accuse John of putting a rather weird end on his letter by what he says next… but considering what he has just said – that truth and life are found in God who is found in Christ – the natural warning to his readers would be what? f. [Slide 21] 21 – Little children, guard yourselves from idols. i. Do not settle for anything less or more than Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. ii. All else is idolatry. iii. There is no path to God that does not include Jesus, the God Man. iv. There is no way to truth without going through the Son v. There is no way to life without being joined in life to this Christ. vi. There is no light, no hope, no peace, no comfort, no assurance, no knowledge of God without Jesus. vii. My. Little. Children. viii. Guard yourselves! There are many christs- but only this Christ will show you to the Father. g. [Slide 22] Passage Truth: John’s truth is powerful. God the Father is only accessible through God the Son. There is no exceptions, no caveats, no substitutions, no wiggle room. Jesus, the Son of God, Messiah, God-Man, who took upon Himself the nature of a man, this one who is come is He who is our True God and Life. h. Passage Application: The application for his readers is simply – trust nothing else. i. [Slide 23] Broader Biblical Truth: Zooming out from I John we see this throughout the New Testament. We are one in Christ and one with the Father through Christ. Our only hope to see the Father is through Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life and the only way to the Father. No other god, no other Christ, no other Savior, no other lord will do. j. Broader Biblical Application: So for us, we ought to listen to John and keep ourselves from Idols. Guard ourselves from trusting in anything that we think might get us closer to the Father than the Son. Transition: [Slide 24 (end)] So how then shall we live? Conclusion: Have you passed the test of the book of I John? Do you see deepening faith, enduring selfless love, and progressive obedience well up from within you? Do you see this great God having testified to the truth of His Son, give you life and thus testify through your life that Jesus is His Messiah? Have you passed John’s test? If so, and you have been assured that you have eternal life in Christ… here are three more things that you ought now to know. 1.) That You have been fathered of God and will not continue to live a life of sin because Christ Himself has broken sin’s power and distanced you from Satan’s clutches. 2.) That you are God’s own possession, set apart for His holy purpose, and immune to the power and possession of Satan. 3.) That Christ is come and continues to give you insight to know God and be in God because you are in Christ who is the true God and Life Giver. Be convinced of these things brothers and sisters! Be convinced of them to the point that you will guard yourselves against anything less than Jesus Christ the Messiah and God Man. Pursue nothing else. Seek God through nothing else. As much as John has put a priority on good works as evidence of truly being in fellowship with God – we cannot assume that the way in which we enjoy greater fellowship with God is through good works. To make such an error would be to misunderstand our new relationship to God. Our relationship to God after being fathered by Him, is tethered, dependent, and woven to Jesus, The Messiah, The God-Man, His Son. Our protection from sin, our righteous standing, even our means of grace, is Jesus Christ alone. We cannot draw near to God without Him. So although it is true that good works are a necessary part of our new life… we must understand that it is not by these works that we are closer to God… but through Christ which produces in us good works. Don’t be like the Pharisees and assume that you doing good gets you closer to God. Because it doesn’t. Rather your depending on Christ and His righteousness – that is what draws you near to God and will subsequently produce good works in you. It is important that we don’t goof that up. But on the other side of the coin, friend, if you have not passed John’s test…the horrors of this book are yours. You are under the power of Satan, and you are even now lulled to sleep in your sin. You may call yourself a believer but if you have not grown in your faith, endured in your love for God and other Christians, or seen obedience well up within you… if you have not grown in your hatred of sin and love of God’s law… if you have not been wholly changed to desire the light and hate the dark… then friend, you have absolutely no reason to walk away from I John with any assurance of your own identity. You ought to consider yourself lost. Because there is no other word that could be appropriate to describe you. All of humanity falls into one of 3 categories. John gave us two in this passage. 1.) Those who are God’s 2.) Those who are Satan’s 3.) And the third group – perhaps the largest group – are those whose identity is in question. Not even they know which category they fall into. John’s primary purpose in this book was to move people in that middle group to one of either of those sides. And friend if you can’t go to one then you have to go to the other. But if you are under the sound of my voice and you genuinely do feel the pang of despair. If you hear me and do genuinely desire mercy and grace from God. That He would forgive your wickedness in His Son. That He would father you into a new life. That he would enable you to believe and to love and to obey. Then seek it from Him. Ask and keep on asking. Your asking cannot force Him to grant you life… but He does promise that those who continually seek will find. Afterall – to whom else can you turn?

Sometimes we let the results overshadow all of our hard-work and effort. Many times in life, we can try to swing the results in our favor even though we really don't have control over it. And many times in life, we let the end results minimize our effort. Renata said it best when she said, "Winning isn't an end result." Because WINNING, just like it is in life, is a journey. We can't always get hung up on what happens in the end because the only thing we truly control is what happens in between. We control our efforts, our attitudes, and our perspectives. I hope and pray this episode reaches the right person today. That YOU find value in its content! Enough so, that you share it with one other person as well! Happy Friday ya'll!!! #iamteamFFIT

Download this episode using this link 1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding: 2 That You may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest You should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that You can not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near to the door of her house: 9 In case you give your honour to others, and your years to the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And You mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me! 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. 15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well. 16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth. 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be You ravished always with her love. 20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his goings. 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be trapped with the cords of his sins. 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

This weeks guest is Christine Perakis. Christine scales businesses from 0 to 8-Figures in record time by helping clients reach for their clearly-defined legacy in designing their business and career goals, laying out a strategic plan to get there. She has started, grown and expanded 10 businesses on her own and with partners and helped hundreds of clients on 5 continents do the same. Most recently, having survived two category 5 hurricanes in two weeks, including the first that blew the roof off her house and left her trapped in a wind coffin for almost 24 hours, and surviving in the aftermath on my isolated adopted-island nation alone for months without electricity, running water and telecoms, Christine has expanded what she thinks of as her legacy, sharing the resilience and leadership strategies that helped her weather any storm in life and business. Her upcoming book, The Resilient Leader, being published by Sourcebooks and being released in 2020, she introduces these leadership strategies, the "7 Barometers of Resilience" that helped her survive and thrive. Prior to that, her bestselling book, The Entrepreneur's Essential Roadmap, a small business survival guide, was an accumulation of two decades of small business experience from startup to scale.Links: http://christineperakisglobal.comhttp://businessbreakthroughpro.comTwitter: @ChristineP360 Instagram: cperakis book: The Entrepreneur's Essential Roadmap - Take Your Business from 0 to 7-Figures in Record TimeWelcome back to the fuel your legacy podcast. And as always, we are discussing how we can help you feel your legacy and I'm bringing on some of the best guests that I can find people who have not just accomplished some great feats at the feats themselves as far as creating legacy but also have helped other people create a legacy. So with that today, we're going to have Christine perakis on and she's just phenomenal what she's done. She's been a boat, Captain, speaker, best selling authorspecialize inhelping businesses go from like zero or wherever you're at. Hopefully, you're more than zero right now, but up to seven figures, and she's just considered now the growth architect says a few books out there one that's about to be published and she'll get to share more about that with us. But yeah, just super excited to have her on here and teach how her legacy, that what she's doing for her legacy and how she can help you accomplish a stellar income out of sharing your legacy. So with that introduction, Christine, go ahead and share just a little bit more about who you are, where you came from, how you found your passion and why you decided, to express yourself in this manner in the marketplace.Well, thank you so much, Sam. And I love what you're doing. I think that is the most important work there is. And in every working relationship, I have with clients, it's a starting point. And I'm always shocked at how little attention people give to legacy. You know we all get whipped around by life. It's just the nature of the beast, the world is chaos, and it's constantly moving and changing. And if we don't have that clear connection to why we're here and what our purpose is, then we're going to get whipped around all the much more difficult challenges. They're going to knock us off our feet. And, you know, I have to tell you, I'm one of those people that it's not that I never had a clear understanding, I've been very goal-oriented since I was a child, which is how I ended up being a boat captain, which is the story for a little bit in a few minutes. But it's that I needed to get knocked down a number of times, to really get myself back on track, and the thread that I really want to be on and to be able to create, from this place of freedom from what the world tells me I should be doing and how I should be working, which means bucking up against the pressure to do things a certain way. That's just me. We all have something you know that we are here to give that the world is waiting for. And if we don't take the time to figure out what that is, and we don't go for it consciously we're going to get knocked down a lot until we finally get it. So A big turning point for me Well, like I had 100 of them right in my lifetime. But one of the pivotal times in my career went to law school, I got an MBA. And, you know, I had this desire to build my toolbox with some good tools. And I knew if I did it straight through school, I'd have a good tool chest that I could go out into business and be armed with all as much knowledge as I could be in terms of my education. So I put those things in place on a level for me that I understood I was maximizing my time. So one of my legacies is to always maximize every experience. So if I'm going to get myself knocked down a bunch of times to be knocked over the head to get the message of whatever, you know, whatever pivot I need to make, I'm going to make the most of that. So, for the first time, that was about two years into my law, practice We're a big New York law firm making a very cushy figure that would have turned into golden handcuffs for me. I could see it even then as a young person, how having a great job with great paid prestige, I would walk into a room I was the lawyer in the room, people would listen to me, my hourly rate was, you know, the high was expensive. And I would never have been free. If I had not had a major car accident that forced me to not be able to work for a couple of months and then only part-time for a couple more months, where I really had to do some soul searching and figure out Am I going to get on the path that I'm destined for which was to be an entrepreneur, and to be in the entertainment industry, and to be of service to others in a more full way, which is me as a business person and a business advisor, a strategic advisor for small business and startups and to be able to utilize the 360 degree knowledge and information and expertise and experience and passions that I have to give people the support, they need to get off the ground, whatever it is they're doing. And so I needed that kick out of the law firm, let's just call it to be able to say, I gotta operate without a safety net so that I can tread a path that other entrepreneurs are going to be on for themselves. So that's the thing that and then I'll fast forward a little bit to my most recent startup, because I've had 10 businesses on my own and with partners, and my most recent startup was 100% equity funded company, my partner and I emptied our bank accounts and bootstrapped our way to a $10 million a year business in four years with 160 employees. And that's the kind of, you know, lack of safety net what it takes to be able to grow that big, and I didn't even feel like there was somebody In my corner who understood how to support me. So, you know, I'm a lawyer, I'm a business advisor and the CEO at this point and a de facto CFO because I'm good with numbers. And I never felt that there was someone who could be in my corner who had to tread the path I've been on. So after selling that business, and took some time off, I went out and got my captain's license as a boat captain because I've been a lifelong sailor and my dream since I was a child was to sail around the world. So the world had to catch up to me by inventing the internet and making it possible to work from anywhere in the world, including a boat in the middle of the ocean. And so you know, I always wanted to sail around the world. So I got my license so that I could have mastery of those skills that one needs when one is crossing oceans and, and then I was able to move to the Caribbean for a time and that's the kind of thing thatYou wouldn't be able to. So I wanted to be able to give support. And that's what I defined my life to be after selling my last business was to become the person that I didn't have available to me when I was starting growing and expanding the businesses that I didn't feel there was someone who understood the path that I was on. You know, it can be very lonely as an entrepreneur when you take the safety net out from underneath you and take that leap and it requires, you know, a sense of certitude, a lot of faith, a lot of commitment, that legacy being clearly defined. So you know what, you're why you're doing what you're doing and you've got a solid foundation to hang on to when there's chaos all around you. And, you know, that's what I didn't feel I had to find that inside myself. I didn't have somebody to help remind me I didn't have a Sam Knickerbocker teaching me how to identify and clarify and stay on legacy at all times and for the company. So that was important. And then, while I was down in the Caribbean, a few years in I had the most powerful hurricane in the Atlantic basin, took a direct hit over my house literally came straight through my island right over where my house was, blew the roof off my house and left me buried alive for almost 24 hours alone. And with no plan, no hope of rescue, no idea who had survived and what was left of my island. And the people around me didn't know my community had no way of communicating with people, and my neighbors, my friends or anybody abroad to come to help me. And I realized that I once again place myself in that position of being alone with a monumental task of survival. My life was literally at stake. And that's again another juncture like that early car accident I had where I realized that even more fully, just how important it is to build community to make sure that you surround yourself with people and the tools and resources and you know, through the experience of not only surviving the storms itself and two weeks later, a second category five was the aftermath of living through no electricity, no running water, no Telecom, cooking gas, and having to figure out how to survive not being able to reach friends for almost two weeks and not being you know, having no access to resources and being stuck on a remote island. And, you know, paradise turned for a while there. And I learned some very important lessons in that process, which I've turned into my next book. That's what we were talking about the resilient leader, and it's life-changing strategies that help anyone overcome the turmoil of today and the uncertainty up tomorrow. And I've come up with my seven barometers of resilience that helped me navigate that experienced and survive in the aftermath, but also to come through thriving. And so because I'm so clear about what I'm here to do, and taking an experience, like the car accident, or the hurricanes, and making the most out of it, I was literally while the winds were howling, and my shelter was destroyed. And I'm, you know, the winds are coming inside my shelter. I don't know what's left of what's outside and I can't take care of myself other than to pick up a pen and piece of paper and start writing. What did I What can I learn from this experience? What did I do right? What mistakes did I make? What will I remember forever that I will not that would help me get through this next storm? Because the one thing I'm certain of and I've experienced in my life before the hurricanes and I know I will again, there will always be another storm. So, you know, again, I'm dedicating my life to making sure that my clients, my people, my audiences, my readers, everybody has the tools to weather any storm in life or business.That is incredible. Thank you somuch for sharing your story and kind of highlighting the different parts I think there's so muchabout.You can learn about a person when you hear about the times that they've overcome their trials times that they've overcome their challenges. And then also what does like True Grit mean for an entrepreneur? What does it mean to like have to buckle down and say, we are going to go for it regardless ofthe circumstances around us? I have tons ofnotes here. So I'm excited to dive into some of these and just kind of see where we go with it.But one thing that I think that happens to everybody atsome point in their life, that she says you're going to get knocked down. You almost have to get knocked down a bunch of times before you finally decide that if you're going to keep getting knocked down, you're going to do it for something that you love rather than for somebody else'sdream. Oh, right.Yeah, you're going to turn that knob down into something that fuels you to follow to keep following your dream or to make that dream more clear or bigger, whatever it takes.Yeah, exactly. Andmaking sure that you're doing that. Sometimes it's harder because as you mentioned, you got comfortable, or you could have gotten comfortable at that Laufer and sometimes you can get comfortable just building somebody else's dream because well, it's good enough for you and it gives you the ability and the income, whatever, to have a great life. But a great life isn't always just financially a great life. Great. Life has so much more to do with fulfillment. And that's really why we're talking about legacy and why we have to have Christine on here because legacy ultimately becomes more important than the supposedly benefit or of security and business. More important than this supposed security is the legacy that you're building, and how you prepare for that. And I'm curious how you went, you went back to MBA school, you went to law school, how much of that do you feel was necessary for you to have come out and become the entrepreneur that you are?Well, um, you know what, I think that when I was so young and coming out of school, I didn't have us personally just a sense of confidence that I had what it took. And I like the idea of when I'm passionate about something and this is true about several things. I can give you a laundry list of the things I certified and have taught yoga skiing sailing, business growth courses online. I've taught Ph.D. students, my version of pursuing my passion is mastery to be able to teach because I'm a natural teacher. So, you know, that's one of the ways that I go about that. And it was. So I think that I went after the law degree and the graduate degree so that I didn't have full mastery, to become a business person to become an entrepreneur. It was about mastery. And, you know, the same way that I became a certified yoga teacher, I probably didn't need to go through a teacher training course or, you know, a certified licensed boat captain, a certified ski instructor. These are things that, for me, was a deep dive of knowledge so that I had more to share in addition to just my passion and enthusiasm to help Others. So in the same way, I think those things, the education, and I still, you know, the courses I've taken, the study that I've done and all that is all to add value so that I continue to be a student so that when I'm teaching, when I'm sharing, when I'm guiding, when I'm supporting, I have more and more to give, because really, I'm just all about service, and how can I help. And so, to do that effectively, to be the best business advisor on the sidelines, one has to keep doing their work. And that's how you stay relevant. And as far as I'm concerned, you know, the people who stop learning, they're dead in the water, they will not be excellent at what they do, they can only grow so much if they don't realize there's more and more. And I'm not talking about taking every webinar that's available online because you could do that all day long. But picking and choosing and staying in constant learning and that can come from several different problems, right. So you know, I will study areas in spirituality and mindset and business growth. You know, in financial advising, there are all kinds of problems that are relevant to the entrepreneur. And so you don't have to stay in one marketing, right? There are 100,000 online marketing courses on how to market your own business. And, you know, you have to limit so that you stay on point and you keep moving your business forward. So,yeah, I'm curious as well with that. There's something that I've seen,I don't know what when or how this works for you something that she's mentioned over and over and over and over, which is what I feel that maybe might be the main focus of this, this conversation is her desire to chase mastery not just get okay at something not just gets efficient at something, but to really chase How can I become masterful at this and walk out with whatever my interest is? With a certification of some sort of goat go through my interest as if I was going to create income or, or be able to add the most value to others. And so many people in life, they just are halfway going through life, just getting good enough to pass but not excel at it. And the other side of that's specifically for the listener here is if you're if you have a dream if you have something that you want to do, but you're I just don't know how to make money out of it.One of the best ways I mean,this is simple, it's not even necessarily creating money, but it's it is at the same time because you're saving yourself on taxes is if you simply turn whatever your interest is into a business, right? If you're going to go wrong, learn how to ski, go get to the point where you could teach somebody how to ski and say, Look, this is business research, I could go do something like this. Now, all of that time and effort that you're putting into learning whatever object or skill it is, that cannot at least be attacked. Right off and so now you've saved yourself 30% of the cost of doing that activity. So learning how to maximize whatever it is you're doing whatever your interest is, and turning it into a legacy is crucial. I would say I'm curious what your thoughts are on that.Oh no, I love that. Thinking about Yeah, my skiing and my you know, I was a passionate skier of a passionate sailor I do these activities for fun and pleasure and I've been paid up them and I'm you know, I have these courses education that I do so yeah, it's fantastic. I spent a summer right after I got my boat captain's license. I sold my business I had this time I've been wanting to do it for years but never had the time to focus on it. So I finally did I time money and motivation, right, perfect trifecta. And I got my license and I got a job immediately driving boats for Hornblower, which is the ferry service that operates and the two coasts and all over the world frankly. And I was driving water taxis and I punched a clock every single day punching that clock going in and out of my job sitting there on the water all day long interacting with people, I was never happier for every minute of my job, and, you know, running my own business of Business Advisory and strategic advising. I love the work that I do, and I love the people. But I don't always love the activities because I have to run it myself, right. So as a job as a boat captain, I was punching a clock for my company. So it's a very different experience. It was completely freeing. But yeah, there was nothing more joyful than being able to perform at that level. And I did so because I had gone to the mastery of that and I was able to use that skill and spell it for a job.Yeah, I love that and I love that the way you just phrase that is I gained skill and I was willing to sell or I was able to sell it for a job. So many people, they go into a job and this creates a lot of imposter syndrome or, or, or mindset is they go, they go into a job interview and they're thinking, Man, I sure hope I get this job, I sure hope that this person will pay me more than I think I'm worth. And the difference is with from, from somebody who has an entrepreneur mindset, they could still go work for somebody else, because still go get an hourly job or a salary job or whatever, but they don't think of it like, I'm going to go work and hopefully I'm getting paid more than I think I'm worth they think, Okay, I'm going to go sell my services to this employer, and they're going to pay me what I think I'm worth. And just that simple mindset shift of, I'm going to sell my skills to this employer rather than this guy's going to employ me to fulfill a role. Just a simple mindset shift completely alters the confidence level. Somebody could have often filled their role.Well, I've hundred percent agree with you and I've gone a step farther even more in my awareness lately because of, you know, having had such as survival experience and really having the bottom drop out when you know, you lose everything and you're basically restarting you you really take stock, you know. And so what I found that even beyond that is when your focus is entirely to be of service to bring value I'm going to be the best at and I'm going to do the most I can with every person I need, that has a resonance for me or needs something or is going to come into my universe, my office wherever you know, my space, I am going to be of service, then the value comes with it. And we get paid what we deserve and people are thrilled to do it. They can't wait to do it. And we don't think that way. We In the world, and you know, the whole culture is designed opposite of that, which is, you don't have enough money, there isn't enough for you, you got to, you know, hustle and try to get as much as you can and don't worry about if they use your product to sell it and make money and there's never enough in that mindset. But if you realize that you're here to bring value to others, and you have enough value more than enough value, and you want to be of service as your primary focus, the money comes. I believe in that 100% without my being.Yeah, I 100% agree as well. I do. One of the whole pod webinars that I do, and you can find out my website at Sam Knickerbocker. com. It's called the legacy blueprint webinar. AndI subtitled thatyou are worthy because so many people don't feel worthy of the value that they're offering. But I think I would live with value exchange understanding that money is just a number that we put on the value exchange and if you focus on how can I add as much value the natural reaction to you adding non-monetary value exchange is monetary value exchange and you're getting it back. There's another thing that I want to hear your thoughts on because you have multiple of these. And this is I would call it just a pattern interrupt right you had these patterns interrupt you or the whole offer? Yeah, pattern interrupt. There was an accident you maybe have a business and that no pattern interrupts you are down on an island and then another pattern interrupts with this. What I would consider a horrific experience buthow you classified in your mind.Terrifying? Yes.You wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy right? But how what is the value if you could say You a pattern interrupt? What's the value of having a pattern interrupt? And do you think that it's something that you can create? Or does it have to come upon you naturally?Well, you know, I've had thisphilosophical discussion with people like who is was and who I respect and I say, is it possible to change with willingly? You know, when things are going well? Do we have? Can we are we capable of growth? And you know, some have would say, absolutely not. So I can tell you for myself, I'm a person who needs to be kicked out the door, right? I don't go running willingly towards change, even when I know it's not good enough for you know, good for me to be where I'm at. So I'll give you a quick example is, you know, my, my forte is helping people grow their businesses. And because I'm so multi, you know, multi-talents, multi-discipline, have mastery over people. My clients have invited me to their businesses to you know, give them equity and good pay and asked me to be a CEO, a C suite executive or a managing partner in their businesses and that's some of how I've grown to own 10 businesses. And I didn't not at those in the earlier days have the self-awareness that what I can do for you has a limited lot shelf life, I can come in I can do this for a few years, I'll get you set up this way. And then we have to have an exit strategy from the outset and forward because I need to keep doing this for other people. So that's the kind of self-awareness that gets you to know that can lead to a lack of self-awareness I should say that can lead to that disruptive change that you want to call it a pattern disruptyour pattern visual pattern interrupt.I love that expression and you know so so you end up doing things the hard way. So I have you know, I gave you the examples of two things I did not control the car accident was not my fault in the storm. That was an act of God nature and In between have been plenty of other what I call category five events, right? starting a business is a cat five, having a child can be a category five experienced these huge, massive storms in our lives. And, you know, I've created those by not having enough clarity about what is best for me when I'm having these conversations because I want to help. And so I'm deceptive. You know, I have been in the past willing to sacrifice, sacrifice what I'm here to do so I can make sure that my client business is going to be as fully Excel as it can be maxed out and it's potential. And so those are the kinds of things that we do, I think somewhat self-inflicted, right when we're not aware enough about who we are and how we're here to serve and what's the best lane for ourselves. And also, you know, I don't think that we keep growing anymore. evolving when things are just great. You know, I talked about that at my law firm job if I was making a six-figure income, what would I change about that? You know, I've had businesses where I've made multi six figures I've been you know, equity partner and those again would be golden handcuffs, something has to make that shift so that I can go up level myself as a business of you know, service provider as a person who is trying to reach my potential while I'm still alive.Yeah, I completely agree. Interestingly, I thought a lot about it because there's, there are coaches and I would say, to one degree or another and this is maybe Tony Robbin's mainvalue add,and not that he has a lot of value x but his up w like unleash the power within seminars or these date with destiny seminars. They can serve as a pattern interrupt and just by Really, almost forcing you into a deep, deep deep analysis of who you are, where you are, what you're doing and how you're moving forward.And so I just wondered what you thoughtthe value of that would be because I think if anybody could go through that big of a pattern interrupt and come out of it the way that you came out of it, right? What that would that be worth a few hundred thousand dollars, right? You've made more than that, because ofyour pattern interrupt. And, and so what's thevalue? If you were to go pay for another pattern interrupt to get you from where you're at to 10 x your business again?What would you pay for that?Well, I certainly would, you know, and I have whether I've had the money or not, I've dug deep I've scraped and scratched my way to get whatever I needed because I would spend it anything to know that I was going to maximize my potential and to keep growing and, you know, the people I respect most and you know, it's Tony Robbins is an easy one, right? Because most of us buy into his value and a lot most of us are not Tony Robbins, right. And it's our job to stand for the value that we have and not be afraid. I think that a lot of people fear to ask for an exchange of that value. Right? You talked about it earlier being not feeling worthy. You know, Tony Robbins doesn't hesitate to have a $100,000 program, you know, Richard Branson hosts people on his Island, not even on one for $100,000 you know, you could pay that to go to his island with a group. And, you know, just getting yourself to that level where you know, you're worth and you can ask people and keep up-leveling yourself, that takes something and, you know, so it's a pattern disrupt for the provider for the business person, and those people who are going to do whatever it takes when they see something they know they need? Those are the kinds of people you want to work with. For me, my clients are historically you know, someone asked me yesterday, who are the people that you like to work with. And you know, I can pick and choose because my time is precious, it's limited. And I want to make sure that I can make an impact. So my ideal clients are people who have already been successful at other things, that they are hungry, that they have a big vision, and they're creative. And they just don't know how to harness all of that energy, like harnessing the power of the storm, right? That's my gift, what I did with the hurricanes and what I do for entrepreneurs, and so, you know, those kinds of people will do whatever it takes, including putting someone in their corner that they know is going to make it a whole lot easier, more, you know, faster and more efficient than if they were doing it by themselves. We don't have to do it the hard way. And yet, you know, 40% of our population is lonely. They have No one to talk to millennials. It's tragic to me, these young people who have no friends, you know, the numbers are staggering, where we're all trying to function alone next to our computer screens, I guess. And that's, you know, one of the biggest lessons I learned about being alone myself, I didn't even think I was one of them, right? And I'm sure 40 those, you know, 90% of that 40 % don't think of themselves that way, either, because they have hundreds of social media friends, and, you know, we're in touch with all the time with our screens, and we're sharing But the truth is, when you're buried alive, who's going to come for you, you know, and buried alive could just be I don't know how to make payroll, or I don't know how I'm going to pay rent or I want to quit my job and I started a business but I'm afraid, you know, those are all situations where we need support. Shouldn't have to do that alone.Yeah, I love that. And I think thatit's interesting when you met some of these people who are charging $100,000 for that pattern interrupt, but I wonder how much they're charging that because that's what they think they're worth. And how many people are charging that because that's what they think the people that they'rethat they're charging at you are worth as in.For me, this kind of goes into that question, how much do I need to believe in myself? Do I believe that I'm worth $100,000 worth of transformation? Or do I believe I'm only worth $10,000 worth of transformation? And based on what I believe I'm worth is how much I'm willing to pay for a transformation.Yeah, you know, I like that because what I think that, you know, I was thinking about it. First of all, we don't believe that we're going to get 10 fold back. Right. But you know, if I gave you $10,000 or $100,000, am I going to get a million dollars back and Tony Robbins convinces people that they will get there 10 cool x return. What's upHe said I said he convinces them that they're going to get their 10 x return out of themselves, not that he's going to give them 10 x return, but that they're going to find 10 x return within themselves.Exactly. And that's our job, as you know, leaders and service providers are to be able to help people understand that and it's with that within them, if they can believe that they're capable of it, they would give everything to it. And that's the piece that's missing, if you're not willing, is that you don't believe it. That's what you're touching on. And I agree with you 100%.Yeah, and this kind of leads into the next thing I want you to go a little bit more depth into, and that you mentioned when you're telling your story is you have basically in all these areas you've been attempting to become the person that you wish you had, when you were going through your struggles, right. So you're you've created your business, you structure your legacy around helping a past version of yourself and So many people that I've talked to in the past, especially when I sit down and talk about their finances I talked about they where are they going? What's their legacy? Man? I just don't know anything. I think well, what have you already accomplished? If you could go back and wish you had a guide for whatever? What do you wish you had a guide for in your life? And, and just focus on him? What have you already accomplished that you could help somebody else accomplish?With it witha complete intention of serving and loving and helping a past version of yourself? So how important do you think it is that you know who that past version of yourself isthat you're helping?Oh, I think it's everything right? Because who is our ideal client? Right? That's everybody struggles with that. If it was easy, we'd all be able to do it. And the fact is, it can be easy because we are who we're here to serve. Right? We know ourselves best. We are creating an avatar for who our ideal client is. We just have to dig in and Deep inside, where, what are our fears and frustrations wants and desires, right? And, you know, the ideas we come up with when we want to start a business, they're coming through us. So it's a need that we've identified, usually, because of whatever the businesses, whatever the product or service might be, it is coming from inside. So we're serving a need we perceive. So all we have to do is turn inside and figure out our ideal client through ourselves, just like you described, and so I always talk to people about that. Do you know what you're gifted at? Because of what you need.Yeah, absolutely. So I'm gonna throw a little wrench in here. I wanted to see or hear your thoughts on this. So people, because I will say this, that you're serving a past version of yourself. But then my primary clientele like the probably more than 50% of who I serve from a clientele perspective, is a divorced single mom. 3545 years old who hasrebuilt her lifeafter divorce from being either bankrupt or very, very,not financially,financially independent to becoming very financially independent from a security perspective, but lacking fulfillment in the creation of her wealth. So that's like my ideal client. But I'm not a woman. I only have two kids. I'm not 35 to 45 years old. So then people say, well, Sam, you're not following your advice of helping your past self. So how important is it for you to be the identical of your past self or for you to have gone through the same mental struggles as your past self?Well, I think that it'smore the ladder right because even if you haven't been a divorce, single mom, right? I'm guessing it'snot that I knowof anyone, but you understand the hunger and the need to figure out why am I here and how to be able to create something lasting, right you have the same goals. So you can understand outside of the physical, you know demographic that you have some commonalities, right. And you've been just smart about identifying a need in the marketplace to but you can understand the mindset of somebody who needs to create, take care of their family and create something lasting and be able to have financial independence. Those are things that you understand well. And you're clever enough to be able to go to the category of people who need it the most you need what you have, and a level of empathy that you have which is so obvious that you're that person for them.Yeah. Soit's all it's not literal, right? I'm going to go out and look for people with curly hair, you know, that kind of thing. But it's finding the commonalities, right. Where's there a residence?Yeah, I'm glad you said that.I wanted. I wanted to come from you because I think that's what I believe that's the truth. And I believe it is. It's not about finding your identical past self. It's about finding the people who have had your past challenges, either mindset emotionally, physically, whatever that may be. And that might be a wide variety of what that demographic comes out as. And there's, there's a variety of ways you can getthe right word, that demographic by theword. There's a variety of ways of you can wear how you can determine your demographic for your business. I choose in my business Junior legacy to create demographic based off of somebody's mental processes and,andemotional journey throughlife. There are some people though their whole business is based on a physical demographic or a geographical demographic. And, and so understanding how are you choosing your demographic and then that will help you identify exactly what type of clients your best serving as well and if you stick to that superficial call, dare call them those physical attributes, then you're how much of an impact Are you ever really gonna make? Then everybody that you're targeting is a commodity. You know you're selling gum at the convenience store, right or your plumbing services, you know, it's something that people need, or maybe it's an impulse purchase and they want but it's not making a lasting impact. As soon as you know, the flavors got You're throwing it out soon as the toilets running again, you're not thinking about plumbing. So if you want to make a difference in the world, and I think more and more people these days are asking for that, because you know, what else is there? Right? The climate things are going right. There's chaos in the world, we've got to be able to have some reason to get up in the morning. And having a long-lasting purpose, and leaving something behind is the only reason I can see. So to be able to do that you have to go deeper.Yeah, I agree. So. And maybe you already answeredthis, but what do you feel like the moment was because of I, in my experience, just to kind of give some context here, and my experience, we have very few moments in life that are actually like really, really deeply emotionallyfrom an energy perspective,like a jolt in our body and then and those moments they last for maybe and if we're saying A long time, probably three seconds. And then after we have those emotional things we switch into, okay, how do I, how am I going to act based on this emotion? And so maybe that's a divorce, finding the initial finding out your divorce, finding out, your child died finding out, you're having a baby, whatever it is, being buried under a house, the initial like, Oh my gosh, the realization that I'm buried under a house and nobody's coming to help me. But then after that, you switch into Okay, well, what am I going to do about it?So, what was thatinitial moment? If you can remember back that far? What was that initial moment when you decided I want to build a legacy? Because of like, what was that initial story that created that that momentin your life?So that you know both of those stories that I told, in the beginning, were triggers like that for me and what I think that has, the more recent what is the more fresh terms of my memory of it and the experience in my body, I could still feel it And remember, and, and they're actually the same. And it was that moment when I realized I was trapped, or I no longer I'm fired from my job or whatever is that moment of terror. You're facing terror in the face it's death and losing a job or losing a partner or, you know, losing a CFO. I mean, there are numbers of junctures we have where it's sheer terror. And that's the moment when you decide Am I going to be killed by this? Or am I going to turn it into something and that's what you have nothing to lose. So you know, I take action one step at a time from that place so that I don't get buried forever. And I'm not lost. Yeah, meaning my career I can't pick myself back up. I'm, you know, wait for government assistance or whatever the thing you know that I'm going to take this in my hands because the alternative is pure death. That may be literal, like it wasn't, you know, potentially the hurricanes. Or this may be meant, you know, figurative, but it feels like death and it can feel the same. And that's why I call it category five.Yeah, I love that because I think that each of us has been given agift or an I love the way they say in the dream giver by Bruce Wilkinson. But you've been given a feather, you've been given a desire or that inclination hack and go build something, and everybody has that opportunity. And if we don't take heed of it, if we don't act on that, at some point, it will die. And maybe it's not your physical death, but it could be the death of your dreams if you don't choose to act on it. And sometimes these will keep rotating and they'll keep calling you to keep calling and keep calling you. And eventually, I hope I sincerely hope you get to a point where you in your soul. Whoever's listening to this right in your soul that you feel that this is done or diet I don't fulfill This calling that I keep happening, then I will be like spiritually or emotionally dead. And that that jars you out of the complacency of life that we all get. We all get stuck in sometimes and forces you into deep patterning interruption into fulfilling your purpose, fulfilling your life and sharing your light and joy and heart with the world.Absolutely, you know, I when I came back from the Hurricanes back to the mainland, and I was sitting with somebody who had been a journalist and covered war-torn regions, and she said, because I was in shell shock, I didn't even know how long it was going to be before I was really grounded in the, you know, and self-aware again, but she said that refugees that when they're sitting in bits of the rubble, there are people who who are just sit in there, you know what's left of their homes and stare out waiting, hoping somebody will come and so on. Nobody does. And that's what we do if we don't take matters into our own hands if we don't say, No, I'm not going to just sit here, I'm going to get up and just do the next thing that's in front of me and take one step at a time. And that's what I mean by having nothing to lose. You know, you take a step, it can't be worse, you know, any step you take anything forward, like when I realized I was trapped, and I was no way I had any idea how I was going to get out. And who could come for me, there's something I can do, I can get a piece of paper out and start riding again, you know, use a flashlight and start taking notes and make this have meaning for me. So we all have that capability when we're immobilized and we don't know to make that choice. Do I sit here and wait for someone to come who may never show up and then ultimately will always be a victim to that storm or those rebel that rebel or never be any Anybody who can take charge of their lives? Or am I going to be someone who takes the next step and moves off the porch?out of the rebel into life?I love it now I'm so glad that you are sharing your expertise and your life with us here on fuel your legacy. It's just incredible. I'm curious, what do you if you want to focus on? Let's say, somebody just sat down with you. They're there in a coffee shop, they got five minutes. And you're going to just and they ask you this question, what is the one habit mindset or behavior that you've used most consistently, to create your meaningful legacy?feel as thoughthe first step in all of us, for all of us, is self-awareness. One of the things that I am committed to and you know, I keep saying this, I guess in different ways, not being a victim in my own life. And so if something's happening to me, and I don't, I'm just talking about somebody cutting me off in traffic, you know, or maybe me feel bad about you to know, yelling at me for something you know and not paying attention to the road whatever is what is going on for me, what do I need to get out of this experience so that I am not a victim to it? And that because that comes from self-awareness. So when do I get triggered? You know, we humans are autonomic and our responses, right? We, something happens and we tell ourselves a story and it's usually influenced or it comes from something that happened in our past, you know, this person doesn't love me or I'm not lovable, or I was, you know, criticized as a child. So I'm constantly feeling criticized, we tell ourselves these stories about what's happening. Instead of recognizing exactly what's happening, we don't see it. And it's that bridge to self-awareness that allows us to get free from those past triggers, and be able to take action from a place of just really what's happening right now. And it's Then it becomes agnostic. You know, I talked about that in my book about how I talk about becoming a storm warrior. And what does that mean? And, you know, traditional warriors we think of them, they're fighters. They have a cause there. They're defending their community or their way of life. But then something comes along, like a category five hurricane or, you know, fires that we have out here in California are the things that we cannot control death in the family of business falling apart or something. And then we're victims. Again, we're no longer warriors. What does it take to be a storm warrior and the starting point is self-awareness? I am vulnerable to things I cannot control. And there's so little in the world that I can control. I better stay aware of myself that that stay steady, no matter what's happening around me. That is one of the cornerstones of being astorm warrior. Thank you so much for sharing that I have imagined doing this podcast for over a year and I don't think anybody has brought that up. It's one of my if I, you asked me that would be my answer as well that I'm in the process of creating a book and a journal that kind of tells the story of why it's important and what my firstdeepestemotional experience was in my life that I can remember. And then I asked myself four questions which are really to assist in self-awareness but the first question is what are the facts remove all emotion from it? What are the facts about what happened factually? of that thestorm came roof is gone.I'm alive I'm breathing, whatever right what are the facts about this? Second, how do those facts make me feel at and I when I am doing this for myself, I go into all of the dark, painful, ugly emotions and also all of the like emotions like what does this it? What does this situation how does it make me feel? Then? What may also be true? And this that question has changed many, many lives is just asking him Well, what what could also be true if I look at it from a different perspective or somebody else's, if I put myself in somebody else's shoes in that conversation when I thought I was offended, but asked what might also be true and then the last question is, well, what am I grateful for? What did I learn from it? And how am I going to apply it to my life?And I love questions.Yeah, those uh, so I'm creating a journal because every day when I journal I if you read my journal you see every day of my life is I'm walking through facts, feelings. What am I grateful for? facts, feelings, what could also be true in the different circumstances in my life, what could make my life better because I'm reprogramming your reprogramming all of these deep, beneficial moments, I always tell my clients out Okay, I'm going to ask you this because this is a, you've had a lot of these, right? If we were to take all of the time that you actually are feeling these deep, deep, emotionally jarring moments all of the time and added it up together so far in your life, how many hours worth of those, those micro-moments Do you think you have in your life so far?No. Another day half mylife like a quarter, it's probably a large percentage, more than 10% of my waking hours.So so I would disagree with you.And here's why I think that what happens just from studying psychology, so that came from neuropsychology, right? So studying psychology, we have these initial shocks, right? And they are like two to three seconds long of where we're feeling this deep abandonment, deep pain, these deep, deep emotions and then we switch into the fight or flight response. So we only have the actual moment. And then we've done our body naturally switches into a fightor flight.And thethose moments if we added them up across our whole life, I bet for the average 40-year-old, and I don't know how old you are. So I'm not saying you're 40. But for the average 40-year-old, 50-year-old, I bet they have less than an hour's worth of those micro-moments in their life. But when I talk to my clients, I say, I'm going to be generous and say you have a total of 24 hours if you added all of them up consecutively.And those deep emotional moments are what are dictatinghow you live your life and how you perceive your life. Now, Christine, you've chosen to turn all of those deep moments into something that works for you, which is phenomenal, and what I think as a self-awareness, but there's a lot of people who they have a few of these deep emotional moments where they were made fun of as a child. where their parents told them they weren't worth it, whatever happened, and they're still allowing that one or two moments where they had that deep betrayal.And it's dictating how they live their life.Yeah, I completely agree and I've been that person in my past you know, for sure not having any understanding that I was, you know, really mad at my parents or so and so whatever ex-boyfriend or something, and you know, I one of the things that I think is easy tool to start is not new. I like Don Miguel has it as one of his Four Agreements. And, you know, I find new layers in this conversation about not taking things personally, you know, if the very first threshold for getting happy to figure out where did this start in my childhood, right? Or When was I not given enough love? Or When was I criticized, but just to be able to say, maybe this is not about me, not taking it personally, am I taking it personally? And starting to develop a discipline around that might be a preliminary first step to digging deeper than that, you know, it frees you up to start making the inquiry. But it's a first, you know, a threshold to cross.Yeah, no, I, I completely,completely agree. So I love this conversation. We're not quite done, but we're winding down. I'm curious, how can people get in touch with you if they want to work with you, if they're sitting there thinking that I've got a business, I could use some help or just a life that they could use some help with. Right? How do they get in touch with you? And what does that look like if they were to sit down and work with you or work through some online programs? What does a relationship a working relationship with Christinelook like? Well,my website, Christine perakis, calm um, we're going to have that on a link on the available hopefully and So my website is christineperakis.com shows my offerings. You can also find my book. My first book on Amazon is the entrepreneur's essential roadmap, taking your business from zero to seven figures in record time. That book is available as an entry point to interacting. And I have an online business advisory system that is linked on my website at Business Breakthrough pro calm, and that's a $297 a month and 2997 monthly 12 month subscription, the Online Business Advisory and if you are one of Sam's listeners, you can reach out to me and I will give you a huge discount and make that a $97 a month program for you or 997 accessible for 12 months that puts all of the tools, strategies, tactics and done for you resources into your hands as a small business owner to be able to grow anything business from zero to seven figures in record time.Yeah, that is incredible guys, I don't know if you realize that that's like a third of the cost. So she's giving you a, like a 60 some odd percent discount to get access to somebody who's done it with over 10 different companies createdseven figures like and you can have access to that typeof mentorship and coaching for so little.Especially after what we talked about earlier, right. It's not about what she thinks are programs where she could charge you $500,000 and it'd be worth it.Because she's going to help you make a million. Right? It's not aboutthat. It's about what do you think you're worth and how much are you willing to put out to help yourself grow.So I love that. Thankyou so much for that. Now we're going to go into these last two sections. Now these are going to be a surprise for you about how to answer these toIt is I love this. I love this part of the show.So, the next section is called legacy on rapid-fire. So what we're going to do is we're going to ask you five questions. And we're looking for one word, one-sentence answers. Now, if, if you give a one-word answer on the first question, andthen I'm going to ask you to clarify it. Okay?Cuz, cuz for a while everybody's answering the same thing. I'm like, okay, we need more specifics here. Okay,so you're ready for this?I'm ready. I'm I hate tests. I'm nervous. I'm ready. Oh, yeah,you're gonna fail this one. No, it'll be great. So the first question is what do you believe is holding you back from reaching the next level of your legacy?believing it's possible.Okay, see, that was good. That's a good answer.What do you believe the hardest thing you've ever accomplished hasbeenGrowing a multimillion-dollar business,and running a big team of people that was completely unpreparedfor awesome.What is the greatest successat this point in your life? Running a multimillion-dollar businessand managing a huge team now andbeing able to turn the most traumatic experiences of my life into something that hopefully will help others be able to weather their storms in life and business.That's so cool, man. I love it when the greatest successes are about helping others and turning giving it back. What's one more secret you believe contributes to your successandnever giving up?And that and then what are a few books that you would recommend to the fuel your legacy audience?Well, I'm a huge huge fan of the book scaling up And I draw from that book for some of my intensive workshops and on one type of work with small business owners. Verne Harnish is scaling up. And I love this book. I discovered it only about a year ago through a mentor called economic SRM. And it's called Take your time. And if the book was written in the late 60s, and I think if he were alive today, it would be only augmented and the idea for each of us to slow down. The world is going so fast. We're getting inundated with so much information all the time. We can barely sit still without picking up a phone. I'm guilty of it myself. And learning how to slow everything down will lead us to wherever we need to go far better, far faster, far more efficiently. If we can just take our time.I need to work on that too.So I'm gonna have to go check that book out and give itshortly but so beautiful and well worth it.Cool.Okay, here's my favorite. This is why save it for last is my favorite question. It's what I asked all of my clients. It's, I believe it's the foundation and beginning of all the work that I can help somebody do and I think it if you're not already asking this to your clients, Christine, you're gonna, you're gonna want to start I sincerely believe that. So, we get we're going to pretend that you're, you've died, you're dead.Okay.Are you okay with that? I know, it's always happened to you a few times. Sodeath, so you don't have to kill me yet?No, we're going to pretend you're dead. And that six generations from now. So we're talking like great, great, great, great, great-grandchildren. You have the opportunity to come back and just kind of listen in on a conversation that they're having around the dinner table, about your life,about your legacy. Whatdo you want your greatness Great, great-great-grandchildren to be saying about what your life meant and how you contributed six generations from now?I will believe and hope that people will have experienced for themselves through an undying belief, the relentless pursuit of success. Then I enabled them.I want everybody who's listened to my podcast to recognize one thing about what she just said because I love it.They are, you are the only person that I can recollect right now, that has not said I hope they say this, orI think they would be saying this, but they will be saying thisand just saying stating it as fact andas if it's already happening. I love that.Well, I didn't even plan that. I thank you for that. reflection. I'm honored that just came out being with it for a minute. You're an awesome questioner, interviewer These are great questions, very thought-provoking?Well, that's my goal. I just think that that question answers so much about who we are and what we want, in the long run, a long run time of things. That's the legacy that we're going to be building. That's the legacy that we're going to be creating. And it makes clear, it creates clarity out of every decision that we make in life from how we spend time with our family business, our money where we're spending it, where we're saving it. When did we start thinking, Well, how do I want to be remembered?Very, very quickly, it ironically shifts the focus off of us and onto How did I contribute to society? And what value am I adding to society? And I think that is this kind of the purpose of the question. Really, what is your legacy? What do you want your legacy to be six generations Now not when you're at and still kicking it?Yeah, that's beautiful. very beautiful. Thank you so much for that beautiful bookend for this conversation.100% agree. Well, thank you so much, Christine. I'm gonna let you go. But this is why we do the fuel your legacy podcast is to bring incredible people like yourself on and share your expertise with the world. And I'm just honored that you were able to take the time and be on this show. I'm excited to read your book. And I definitely will have no problem doing a book review after I've read it.Well, thank you so much, Sam, you have an amazing legacy yourself and this work that you're doing for people like I urge everyone here to check out your website and dig into figuring out what your legacy is making your life worth living, and let Sam be your guide.

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that our help comes from the Lord.   Psalm 109:26-27 Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That they may know that it is Your hand--- That You, LORD, have done it!  

Isaiah 49:1-7 (NKJV) 1  "Listen, O coastlands, to Me, And take heed, you peoples from afar! The LORD has called Me from the womb; From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name. 2  And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me." 3  "And He said to me, 'You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.' 4  Then I said, 'I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD, And my work with my God.' " 5  "And now the LORD says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, And My God shall be My strength), 6  Indeed He says, 'It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.' " 7  Thus says the LORD, The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One, To Him whom man despises, To Him whom the nation abhors, To the Servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise, Princes also shall worship, Because of the LORD who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel; And He has chosen You."   John 1:29-42 (NKJV) 29  The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30  This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.' 31  I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water." 32  And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33  I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34  And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God." 35  Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36  And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" 37  The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38  Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?" 39  He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour). 40  One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41  He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ). 42  And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).      

I thank You so much that You woke me up this morning. That You've given me breath. Your breath, precious breath. Breath with purpose.  Your breath; I thank You that You've given me the ability to think like Jesus. To think like You. To realize that a second, that when we think about breath, that You breathed the pneuma, You breathed life into man. But life wasn't just life.  In that breath, that You breathed in to, that one, dirt, dust, man; was written; so many DNA programs, was written, so many books; was written, so many words, so many purposes.  I thank You, that as You breathed life into mankind; that every segment, every part of that breath, had a destiny purpose. It was purposed with You, by You, for mankind.  To think about just how precious breath is; and what it really meant, when it said that You breathed the breath of life, into man, and he became a living, breathing, species. He became what that breath said. We became... The dirt became alive, so that it could make decisions. The breath was programmed. The breath has programs in it. The breath has, all of that in it. The breath has, what was meant for this earth, in each and every person.  The breath in me. Your breath in me, Your life in me... I visualize it as, as little, as packets.  When a person has conceived, that package is burst open, and there's their breath, Because when a baby, that's the first thing that a baby is to do, when it's born, is to breath. And when that happens, it's as if, there's this, life package, that, as the baby takes its first, deep, breath then that life, that packet of life, that assignment of life, that assignment of breath, that You breathed into Adam;  became, becomes, has the opportunity to do, has the opportunity to be, has the opportunity to, increase has the opportunity, to succeed in everything in life. By Your breathing breath into that one being, gave everybody; every man, woman, boy, and girl; every baby that would ever be born; a playing field, a purpose field.  And inside of that breath, inside of that, individual breath that you had named. My name was on my package of breath. And every thing that I am to accomplish is in that. And then it goes throughout my total being. Goes through my blood streams, goes through every part!   So I thank You for life. I thank You for breath. Oh My God, that it is not just that simple thing. Breath is so simple, but yet so complicated. So, I thank You for that this morning.   I pray for every person on this call, that You reveal to them what You have revealed to me. And let us think, and let us realize, that breath; is not something to be taken for granted.  That every decision that we make, every breath that we take, has a purpose.  Oh, God. I thank You this morning that in 2020, that You, the revealer of life, the giver of life, every person, every human being, every being that walks and breathes, will recognize how precious, and how purposed, their life really is. - Spoken by Dr. Bacer J. Baker; the morning of Friday, January 16, 2020 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/communion5779/support

You moved in. I thank You that this nation will never go to war again without winning. I thank You, and I praise You that we know that we have men and women in our service, in the Army, in the Navy, in the Marines, in the Air Force, in the Coast Guard, in every part of government, that will obey. I thank You for this nation because, we have a heart for righteousness. I thank You and I praise You. I thank You that I have eyes to see what You are allowing, and what You want done. I pray, that in this year of 2020, that we, can see both sides of every situation because now we're not looking at it as citizens of the world, we're looking at it as citizens of the kingdom of God. Oh, Father, I thank You that I can see. Yes, the heart of this nation and the heart of that nation. I can see the purpose of this nation and the purpose of that nation, in 2020. I can see both sides. I can see behind the lines. I can see behind the situation. I can see behind, the decisions. Because I have Your heart, and Your mind. I pray that for every person on this call, I pray that for every citizen of the kingdom of God. I pray that for every one that walks in righteousness. I pray that for the United States of America. That no longer, from this moment, from this day, I decree and I declare that I have the mind and the heart of God. And I will see and hear and think and feel out of Your heart. That I will see, what You see. That You forecast. That You, allow me, as I sit in my seat of authority, as I sit in You. Yes, I am seated in the heavenlies. I am seated higher than the situation. So I can see what's behind, the actions. And I can see what You want done. I did not even realize how I had waited for 2020. I thank You that we have 2020 vision. Oh, and that's greater, than whatever it is. It is better than the scale. It is better than a pendulum. It is better than the scales of justice. Oh, but we look, and we are no respecter of person. Because, why? We have the heart of God. We have the ways of God. I thank You that we walk not in self righteousness. But that we walk in the, that we are the righteousness of God. We are no longer self righteous. We are the righteousness of God, and if we ever chose, one people over another, and that would mean that we are respecter of person. I thank You that in the kingdom, there's only one culture. There's only one nationality. There is only one nation, and that one nation is the nation of the kingdom of God. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/communion5779/support

Are you ready to geek out? Like super bourbon geek out? Dr. Tom Collins has dedicated part of his career to the details of different spirits and wine. His studies looking at the chemical composition of bourbon as well as the chemical influence from barrels is what intrigued us. We examine, at a scientific level, what char levels create different compounds and reactions, how entry proof affects these compounds, and how bourbon and rye are different in their molecular makeup. Like I said, get ready to geek out! Show Partners: Barrell Craft Spirits has a national single barrel program. Ask your local retailer or bourbon club about selecting your own private barrel.

What is viticulture and enology? How did you choose this profession? Tell us about your research. What compounds are you looking for from toasted barrels? Are there times where a toasted barrel provides a certain flavor profile in the lab, but not in the real world? Is it hard to get consistency from the barrel? What was the outcome of your research? How do you get a buttery taste out of a barrel? Can you tell different whiskies apart chemically? What are the different compounds in rye vs. bourbon? Do bourbons have more differentiation compounds than ryes? How does each compound contribute to the bourbon? What kind of budget did you get to buy the bottles for research? Where do the fruity notes come from in bourbon? What are your thoughts on barrel entry proof? Do you think you could look at dusty bourbons from the 60's or 70's and see differences compared today? What's a big takeaway from your research? What happens when a whiskey is aged in a wine cask? 0:00 Yeah, I'm excited about today you sent me like beforehand, here's some info, so we don't look stupid. And then I started reading I'm like, well if I'm gonna look stupid 0:20 What's up everybody it is Episode 235 of bourbon pursuit. And this week we are back in action, yet again talking about bourbon. But before we do that we do have some news to cover. Now, we already know that the trade war, it's going pretty strong and bourbon has been hit, and there's no telling if that is ever going to end. But now, there's a new target insight as part of a retaliation effort and we're looking at wine as sort of say more specifically European wine and other kind of European whiskeys. So there's currently a looming trade tariffs up to 100% that would affect all European Union countries, selling wine and other spirits to the United States. Now wine in general is imported as a $20 billion a year industry here in the States. And this follows already an existing round of 25% tariffs that have been levied back in October against Spain, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. American wine drinkers would be faced with fewer wines coming to America from the EU, especially those made by small independent producers. And you can expect higher prices on those bottles that do make it in for those that make a livelihood in the wine trade. The mood is less than stellar importers, distributors, wine shop owners, Somalis and grocery store wine buyers said they fear that would have to impose salary or staffing cuts as a result of dramatically reduced profit margins. Now you might think that this would be good for domestic wine producers like those in California that make up 95% of the US wine market. However, the wine Institute has spoken out against the terrorists, arguing that the EU could just as easily turn around and target us winds in a tit for tat trade war, as much as California vendors want to serve up their wine for domestic consumers. Europe is still their most important export market, bringing in around 460 $9 million in 2018. And you can find the links to these two articles from the la times in QC calm with the link in our show notes. The Tennessee ABC has issued a cease and desist orders from out of state businesses who have been doing direct to consumer shipments of alcohol. Now we talked about shipping alcohol all the time on the podcast, and this one is kind of rolling things back in a negative way. As a quote, wine is the only alcoholic beverage that can be legally shipped direct to consumers in Tennessee, and it requires a winery direct shippers license issued by the Commission, and this is coming from the Tennessee ABC director Russell Thomas. The Tennessee ABC recently discovered the illegal shipments after analyzing common carrier reports compiled by the Tennessee Department of Revenue. It requires common carriers to file alcohol delivery ports. To the Department of Revenue each month, and it also requires that any business that sells and ships wine director Tennessee has to be licensed as well. In other news, the Scottish Government is trying to tackle booze related criminals, and they have given the green light to remote alcohol monitoring in sobriety tags after awarding a multimillion pound security firm contract. The anti booze angle tags can detect if you've consumed alcohol by monitoring the sweat every 30 minutes from your pores. But ministers are still in talks about handling Scottish courts the power to force these criminals whose convictions are linked to alcohol to actually where these tax if this goes ahead, then they can be forced to go alcohol free for a month to tackle the drinking problem which contributed to their crimes. You can find the link to the Scottish son within our show notes. Alright, so you ready to geek out and I mean, like super bourbon geek out. I heard about our guests today Tom Collins, after I learned he gave In Depth talk at tails. It intrigued me to know more about the science behind bourbon. Tom has dedicated part of his career to the details of alcohol in for us, it's looking at the chemical composition of bourbon, as well as the chemical influence from the barrels as well. We examine at a scientific level, what certain char levels create how entry proof affects it in how bourbon and rye are different from their molecular makeup. Like I said, Get ready to geek out. But now let's go ahead and take a break. We're gonna hear from Joe over barrell bourbon, and then you've got Fred minich with above the jar. 4:37 It's joe from barrell bourbon. I know I talked a lot about blending here, but we also have a national single barrel program, ask you a local retailer or bourbon club about selecting your own private barrel. 4:50 I'm Fred MiniK. And this is above the char this week's idea comes from Kyle man on Twitter or at bourbon numbers on January 2, He wrote me and said, Does making a career out of your hobby ever diminish the fun or actually deepen the experience? Do you have a hobby you would not go pro for that reason? Thanks. That's a great question calm, and I actually do have quite a bit of experience with this. See, I initially started my career as a sports writer. Well, professionally I did. So my career starts as like an ag journalist where I was covering crops and cattle futures and things like that. But I always wanted to be a sports writer, because I was a huge sports junkie. I get into sports, you know, in high school, I start writing about, you know, local football games, track baseball. I would also write about anything that anybody would let me write about to be honest with you. But I get to college and I start writing about sports. And I take a job with the daily Oklahoman, I'm on the sports desk there. And I'm writing the headlines for the daily Oklahoman and I start interviewing athletes and coaches and there was one thing that was Pretty common, it did not matter, the level or the sport. Coaches did not treat reporters with the same respect that they did. colleagues or their players or parents even in the players kind of follow the leadership of their coaches. And for the most part, reporters get treated like crap in the sports business. And you don't have to look any further than a Bill Parcells or Bill Belichick. Press conference to see what I'm talking about. They often come with a very much a disdain toward reporters, and I was coming at it from a fan's perspective. And I didn't necessarily like the way that sports the kind of Avenue I would have to go down in order to continue a career in sports. Because as I was covering them, I felt my I felt the fan being ripped away from me. I didn't enjoy that. I want to be honest with you. enjoyed being a fan far more than I did covering sports. Now fast forward to my bourbon career, I start writing about bourbon in 2006 and 2007 and get really serious about it between 2010 and 2012. And I kind of started in a period in which people weren't really writing about bourbon on a professional level. You did have some bloggers and you had a couple magazine writers, but there was not a lot of us. And to this day, there aren't that many professional whiskey writers. But back then there were there were not the proliferation of blogs, social media wasn't around. And distillers were just happy to get attention from anybody really, in the consumer base was, we're all about, you know, people who would crack open this kind of mythical bourbon egg and shine the light upon some of the secrecy and those that was kind of what I was doing. And so I found myself in a where both of the consumer base and the distiller base were very excited to see any kind of writing I was doing. And while that has certainly change my passion for bourbon has not the one thing that has changed in bourbon and it's nothing like it wasn't sports, you you tend to have a lot of people who enter this space and want to make a career out of it or they want to cash in on bourbon while it's big. And those people tend to go away because they don't have the passion for American whiskey like many of us do, and they just see American whiskey as as another check. And I think right now we're seeing a lot of those kinds of people come and go. And those who have the passion, those who want to see this, you know, through the end and enjoy it for the rest of our lifetime. You're going to see us around for a long Long time, even when whiskies not popular anymore, and that's this week's above the char Hey, if you're interested in getting a career in American whiskey, there's all kinds of avenues open for it. You can even find some places to go to school to learn more about it. I think Kenny's got a few ideas 9:19 he'd like to share with you. 9:21 And that's this week's above the char hit me up on Twitter or Instagram, if you ever want to connect. Until next week, cheers. 9:32 Welcome back to another episode of bourbon pursuit the official podcast of bourbon, Kinney and Ryan here tonight we are well during the day. I don't know me I'd be driving right now but we're recording this at night and in this is going to be something that like, I'm gonna I'm going to really, really enjoy because especially anybody out there that has had any background in science or chemistry. We're about to geek out here. 9:58 Yes, yeah. I think the light Last time we really kicked out was when we were talking Easton, like with Pat heist and then from wilderness trail we kind of went well I did anyways like, went down this rabbit hole of like, all these crazy sports talk and all this stuff that's way over a lot of people's head but yeah, I'm excited about today you sent me like beforehand, here's some info, so we don't look stupid. And then I started reading I'm like, Well, if I'm going to look stupid 10:27 we're talking about the very beginning our guests today sent over some some abstracts or some some scientific papers that he had helped publish and stuff like that. And, and one of them I'll just kind of read the title was called profiling a non volatiles and whiskey using ultra high pressure liquid chromatography quadruple the time of flight mass spectrometry. That was the title and like, like 10:49 Mind blown here, right. I started reading through it and have a horticulture degree with terman. Like, I remember having to take organic chemistry and like barely passed it. And this reminded me of a lot of it. So this is brand new, like bad memories of like failing at life in school. And so Tom will be easy on us. 11:11 Yeah, absolutely. So let's go ahead and introduce our guest today. So today on the show, we have Dr. Thomas Collins. He is the or is an assistant professor at Washington State University in the Viticulture and Enology program at Washington State. So Tom Welcome to the show. 11:30 Oh, well. Hi, thanks for Thanks for the invite. I'm I'm looking forward to this conversation. This should be fun. 11:35 Absolutely. Did I did I did I stumble on your the program that you're in there? 11:40 Or did I go I think I got it right. Then I did Viticulture and 11:42 Enology. Alright cool. I didn't put her to bed. So for for people that want to know more about even what that is explained even what Viticulture and Enology is to our our listeners out there. 11:54 So Vedic Vedic culture is the science of grape growing virus. Is the species for grapes. So viticulture is just the study of grape growing. And then analogy is the study of winemaking. So my background is I'm a chemist and I do work in aroma and flavor chemistry of grapes, wines and distilled spirits. Nice. 12:18 Yes. So how did you choose that path? I mean, that would mean if I had a chemistry degree, that any film to choose I would probably it, but how would How did you get involved with that? 12:30 Well, I think you're on the right track there. If you're going to do this sort of thing. It's important to study something you're going to enjoy studying, right? So there's lots of areas of science you can go into, and some of them I wonder how people get involved. But I think studying grapes and Wine and Spirits seems like an area that would be enjoyable. You're going to have samples to work with and samples to all kinds of sensory evaluation. Right? Yeah, absolutely offer research. All in the name of science. 13:03 I'm surprised you don't have a plaque behind you that says that or something like that. Just a banner that says just just for science here. 13:09 Yeah, well, the the license plate holder on my car says Life is too short to make bad wine. So pretty nice. 13:19 So I guess kind of talk about, because I know you do a lot of stuff with wine now, but I know that you know, we had originally reached out to you because I saw it. You had done a presentation at Tales of the cocktails A few years ago, and was really I said, like, there's got to be somebody out there that really knows like the chemistry behind bourbon. And so you had you had kind of been doing that. So kind of talk about your research over the years and kind of what you've been focused on in that category. 13:47 So I guess the way the how I ended up here was I worked for a big winery wine company in California, and I work with them while I was doing my PhD at University of California Davis. And, and the focus of my research at that time was on oak aroma and flavor chemistry because the winery I worked for the cooperage. So they had a company that was making barrels for them. And the focus was really trying to understand how the coopering or barrel making process affects the outcome of the barrel, what what the chemistry of the barrel looks like. And then ultimately, the chemistry of the wine that's aged in those barrels. And so that was my PhD project was really just trying to understand how what happens in the cooperage affects what happens to the barrel and then what happens to the wind start in it. The next step is to look at are the next one of the next steps in my research development was alright, so that's what happens when you put wine in a barrel and it's 15% alcohol. What happens if you then look at a different beverage a different product, what happens is we put whiskey in that barrel instead, now we're talking instead of 15% alcohol, we're at 60 65%. Alcohol, you're going to extract different things, the barrels are made in a different way. So it just was sort of a logical, logical extension to the research I had already done. And also gets me into the working in distilled spirits, you know, an area that I enjoy personally. And here's an opportunity to learn a little bit more about how things are different with spirits compared to wine. 15:32 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that is cool. And so I guess let's, let's kind of go into that topic a little bit. Right. I mean, I think the first one that you kind of mentioned was, was the oak and the wood and stuff like that kind of kind of talk about some of your research that you did in regards of really what the because I think there was one. One paper you had also written called targeted volatile composition of awkward samples taken during toasting, edit. mercial cooperage. So kind of kind of let's talk about, really, what, what the goal, or the thesis of this was, and then the results and really where you came out of this? 16:13 Well, from a, from a practical standpoint, the question we were trying to answer with the initial research, when I still work with the winery was, the company owns this cooperage. So it gives us an opportunity as a company to have barrels made exactly the way we would like them to be made rather than buying barrels that someone else has made and decided how they wanted to do the toasting. This was an opportunity for winemakers to talk directly to the Cooper's and say, This is what I'm looking for in a barrel and have the Cooper's make them for that. It sounds like a great prospect. But it turns out, it's hard. You need a translator between what winemakers say they're looking for, and what Cooper's can actually do. So if the winemaker says I want a certain kind of tannin or I want a certain aroma, flavor profile. There's that there has to be some translation for the Cooper to understand what they're looking for and how winemakers speak sort of translates into something that they can do in the cooperage to achieve that goal. And so that's where this the genesis for this research project was really just trying to understand. If winemakers are looking for a certain thing, what are the Cooper's have to do to achieve that? And that morphed into really just trying to understand how does the whole process of toasting barrels work? And what are the key factors in terms of where the wood originates from, how it seasoned, how you're going to toast it to get to a certain aroma and flavor profiles that the winemakers might look for. And so that's where you get these studies where we're looking at volatile profiles changing during the testing process because we're trying to understand what components are being generated as you heat the barrel as you toasted, and how they changed throughout throughout the toasting process. So, so it turns out many of the things that we associated with toasted out in terms of the aromas of vanilla and clove and the spicy aroma is sort of the things that we're looking for from our barrels. Most of those are produced during the testing process. They're not present in the untoasted what 18:32 what are some of the things that you're that you're looking for? 18:35 So the actual compounds so yeah, yeah, getting it on us. Yeah. What about on that road? Well, the first one is vanderlin which is not surprising the one that smells like vanilla. But we're also looking at things like huge and all an ISO huge and all which have clove type aromas. Huge and also the primary compound in in clothes. We're looking at firfer awls, which comes degradation of sugars during the toasting process. So, the cellulose and Hemi cellulose that compose the structure of the wood in part, when those when that's heated, you get thermal breakdown that results in the formation of firfer all kinds of compounds that give you these toasty aromas. And other structural polymer in wood is lignin. And when you when you break that down by heating it, you get things like we get vanel in for one you get quiet call and for methyl glycol, which are related, which are the whiskey lacked are related to the whiskey lactones through the kinds of aromas that give you spicy or medicinal characters, depending on their concentrations in which ones you get. So there are a number. I mean, we looked at about a dozen different compounds and looked at how they're produced throughout the toasting process. So we put thermal couples into the staves as the bear before barrels were toasted. So we could measure the temperature of the wood throughout the process. And then we took samples at regular intervals during the process, and took that back to the lab for the analysis. And so while the barrels are being tested, we're monitoring the temperature, we're collecting samples, the wood, and then we can do the analysis to figure out how things changed throughout the testing process. These compounds aren't all produced at the same time at the same rate. So some of them are, some of them take more heat to generate, and so they tend to develop later in the testing process. Some things are produced very quickly. But if you have too much heat, then they get degraded, broken down into other compounds, or they just volatilize and disappear. And so depending on what the winemakers looking for, you might want to toast the barrel for a longer period of longer period of time or a shorter period of time. You might do a high temperature short time toasting to emphasize things that are produced quickly. We might do a slower low heat, toasting protocol to produce things that take more heat to generate. And so by doing this kind of study, we could start to understand how to tailor the toasting process at the cooperage to get the specific aroma compounds that the winemakers were looking for. 21:19 Interesting. Yeah. So with the, how do you control I guess the variables, you know, because you have wood, which is a living thing, I'm just thinking of like turf research and like, you kind of have like a lot of uncontrollable variables because you are dealing with a living thing or was living in so how is Are there times that like, you know, you have like, like you said, we're toasting the exactly the same with the exact same type of wood and it doesn't translate like it did in the lab, you know, out in the real world. 21:48 Right? Well, and you really kind of hit the nail on the head, nail on the head in terms of the problem with the toasting process generally is there's not a lot of control. In terms of how that happens, so the Cooper's all have a protocol, they're supposed to use this many fires. And you're supposed to be on each fire for this amount of time. But one of the things we saw in this process is that there's a lot of variability just in how the how the individual Cooper's manage their fires. And so at this particular cooperage, there were two different Cooper's that did the toasting, and they didn't manage their fires quite the same. And their barrels were different, even though they're following the same protocol, the same number of fires for the same amount of time. Getting the intensity, that fire to be consistent is one of the things that you have to do well to get a consistent outcome. And that's that that's fairly difficult to do, and some are who's really on top of that can do a better job. But if the two if the two Cooper's are not doing it quite the same, then you end up with barrels that look different. We could tell from the chemical analysis which Cooper made which barrels 23:00 really saying it just it just like with whiskey, you know, it's like you do single barrel pics and you have sister barrels on the same exact row like honey barrels that just tastes like significantly different than one that's like right next to it. You're I wonder if those variables in the toasting even though they're theoretically at the same char whatever, you know protocol that like you said there's so many different variables that it right hard to like 23:26 pin that down. Yes, that's exactly right and we and we saw the same thing in you see the same thing in winemaking. If you taste wine from 20 different barrels that are all made, same day, same cooperage, same wood, same forest, you have all those variables controlled, you still see variability in the outcome, and it's because to a great extent it's because of this variation in the testing process that it's really hard to get that well controlled and and most Cooper urges don't necessarily have a lot of instrumentation that says this is what the temperature is it would at this point there, it's not. It's not easy to put that kind of instrumentation in place. And most of them don't have it. And they're relying on the experience of the Cooper to come up with something that's consistent. But I was it, it is a really difficult job to get that level of consistency day in and day out. I mean, we looked for one of the things we looked at is, over a four day period, how consistent were the barrels from one day to the next to the next to the next. And there there were definitely good days and bad days in terms of efficiency. 24:38 I'm kind of looking at some of the data here and you have you have some graphs that basically show the the the type of oak, the the type of toast, and then you have, like the level of vanderlin in regards of like what degree Celsius was the I'm assuming it was either the temperature or was the word at that time. So you can kind of really, you can't actually calculate what's at what temperature you're trying to pull out the most of that particular compound. 25:08 Right? So so we look, again, we looked at about a dozen different compounds. And we measure the temperature throughout the process. And, and so we could start to say, when we get to this kind of temperature, we're going to see formation of these compounds. And as it progresses, certain compounds like glycol, for example, the longer you heat it, the hotter it gets, the more glycol you get. But things like valin, there's some there and the untoasted would, it gets produced fairly early in the process, but as you continue to heat the barrel, it drops off, it's being converted into something else, or it's just escaping. And so the goal of that was really to try and understand what temperature protocols you want to follow if you want to emphasize valen for example, rather than quiet costs, so if you want something that has more of those values, characters, how would you achieve that. Whereas if you want something that's toasty smoky and has a lot of quiet call, you just keep toasting it, the harder you go that the more of it you get. So it's the it those those particular plots are really critical to trying to work with the Cooper's to understand what they needed to do to make specific profiles. 26:23 So what is the what's the outcome here? I kind of of what you were trying to get or what was like the, the general data like what did it really say to you? 26:32 Well, so I guess the the main, the most important takeaway message from that whole study was, there's a lot of variability in this process. And until Cooper's really focus on getting consistent testing protocol protocols, getting that part of the process down all the discussion that we have in the wine industry about the upcoming from French for us, whether it's white, green, oak, or Tiger Green oak or comes from this forest versus that forest, all of that stuff really doesn't matter if the Cooper doesn't have a way to toast the barrels consistently. So what we saw was the variability in the toasting process, sort of trumped everything else. Because until you could get that more consistent, you couldn't see differences between tight grain and open grain, you couldn't see differences between this forest and that, it was really more about how the barrels were toasted. So that was the first thing was the cooperage really needed to focus more on getting the Cooper's to be consistent in toasting. The second thing was, if you can do that, then you have the possibility of making barrels that have specific flavor profiles by by adjusting how you do the toasting, to focus on baneling or to focus on glad calls. Those these things all have distinct curves for when they're produced and when they're degraded. And so you can start to adjust how you make the barrels to Focus on one flavor profile over another. So that was an important key. And then the other thing that came out of the overall process was as wine company, we knew a whole lot more about how to assess barrels, how to make decisions about the composition of barrels, and how that might interact with the wine that we were trying to make. And so we could give the winemakers a lot of information about barrel selection that I think allowed them to do some more interesting things with their barrels than they would have been otherwise. It's it's always good to have good information about the tools that you're using. And this this study did a good job of helping the winemakers better understand the contribution of oak in their in their wine profiles. 28:50 There's Cooper juice out there that not all of them toast their barrels right. So I guess this this is also showing that Yeah, there is scientific research and study here. That You can figure out that you can pour, pull more those types of compounds that you want by toasting it as well. 29:07 Yep. And I think just to jump ahead a little bit, I think there may be some information from this toasting study that could be beneficial for distilleries that are starting to move are interested in moving into these barrels that are toasted and then charred. Because you're you're going to use charred barrels generally speaking for bourbon but there there is a move at least in part towards doing some toasting the barrel first before you before you chart and and I think the potential benefit there is you below the Charlie or you're going to have the opportunity to affect the composition of that, that toasted layer underneath the char. So you may be able to get slightly different profiles from this than you would with just a straight charred barrel. 29:58 There you go. Hello. Once you do To have a buttery taste out of the barrel, so like a sharp knife, for instance, you know real buttery or like, we've had a couple single barrel pics where we taste like, you know, it tastes like real buttery or oily. What chemical compound is that coming from? 30:15 Well, when we talk about Chardonnay and the butter and Chardonnay that often comes from the mouth, lactic fermentation so it's actually a microbial a lactic acid bacteria metabolite diaas. a teal is one of the compounds that is most associated with that character in Chardonnay. And certain barrels may enhance that for a couple of reasons. One is some barrels may produce better conditions for the bacteria to do their thing back in we do see a fair amount of oak sugars that are released during the testing process and so it may make it more conducive for some of these organisms to to thrive. Those compounds in whiskey may be something that comes from the fermentation of the of the mash, and gets carried over during the distillation. So you could have similar organisms producing diabesity and related compounds during the fermentation. So, I'm not sure if it's barrel related but that would be in wine. It's usually a lactic acid bacteria from mal lactic fermentation that's making those kinds of characters 31:32 All right, Ryan, you got that written down? 31:38 So so let's let's talk about you know, bourbon and whiskey in itself kind of kind of break us down here and really school is like, where Where's what's like a chemical composition or a makeup of really what this looks like and, and kind of help me point me to one of these articles you've written to that that can help be also better understand it. 32:00 Well, so the transition to looking at at spirits came from just wanting to continue to work with oak and try to understand how composition affects not just wine but let's look at other products as well. And so we started we started looking into just what's what's in different kinds of spirits. And so we looked at not just bourbon but other whiskies as well. So in one of the profiling in the profiling work, we looked at how do Bourbons and scotches and Irish whiskeys and other whiskeys compared to one another. And, and some of the differences there have to do with with new oak versus oak that's already barrels that have already been used to age bourbon or other products. And and and then one of the other Questions that sort of came along that started the work that I've been doing with with Jake lon at Virginia Tech has been just this question of what's the difference between bourbon and rye whiskeys? And can we? Can we differentiate them? So I guess to break it down is mash bill. Can we see differences in Nashville through the oak that we're using to age the whiskies in? 33:28 Yeah, yeah, kind of start at the top right there like can you can you discern the types of whiskeys by the mash bill after it's been created from a chemical way to do it and kind of talk about the process of like, how you came to your conclusion to 33:44 so it I mean, it started with just a small a small study where we just went to the local liquor store and picked up a dozen Bourbons and it doesn't dry whiskeys and then did our analysis to see Can we see Can we tell them apart chemically? And I think the profiling paper that talks about bourbon Tennessee and rye whiskies shows that when you look at the non volatile composition, so non volatile means, things that we're not smelling. So, to show the things that make it smell the way they do or the volatile compounds, those are the things that we can actually smell with our noses. non volatile composition refers to things like some of these folk related compounds that get extracted during barrel aging, but contribute to color they contribute to mouthfeel they contribute to in some cases to aroma but not not entirely. And so we were using the the LC q two off to do the analysis of the compounds that are extracted into these whiskies and what you what we want, you can see in that profiling is before you go too crazy, what's an L CQ tough. So the LC is the HPLC. That's the liquid chromatography quadrupled time of flight mass spec. So that's the instrument that we're using to do the analysis. So the LC part separates the the individual compounds based on how they interact with the chromatography column. And then as they come out of the out of the LC, they're introduced to the mass spec. And the mass spec separates whatever is coming out at that time it it separates them by mass, so how heavy the compounds are. And because it's a quadrupole time of fight, we get really good mass resolution so we can separate things that are pretty similar to one another. And it also gives us an estimation of what the chemical formula is so that we can then really get a leg up on identifying specific compounds that are involved. And when we look at these kind of compounds extracted from Oh, there's no there's not surprising A lot of overlap because Bourbons and rise generally speaking are aged in very similar new charred Cass. And so you're going to extract a lot of the same things irrespective of what whiskey or you're putting into it. And so Bourbons and rise aged a new cast for example of very different than scotch whiskies aged in reused cast because we've extracted a lot of a lot of things in the first use, and there's not as much left to extract and subsequent uses. 36:34 Can you can you like, without because of course, we can't do it visually. But can you can you explain really how they are, you know, if you were to look at something like how does it look that they're actually different on paper. 36:49 So there's, there's a, several different ways we can do it. One of them is just to look at individual compounds and just measure the abundance or concentration of these individual compounds in the different whiskey types. And when you do that, there's a lot of variability and Bourbons and rise Generally, the concentrations don't vary that much for things like glycol for some of the oak related tannins to get extracted for any of the any of the things that we're looking at, using the LC q Tov, they generally look pretty similar. We don't see a lot of separation. We do sometimes see separation by by producer because they they're using specific cooperage is so that sort of points to maybe differences that are related to the barrels and not so much differences between the spirits. 37:46 What are some of those differences? Like, what what what are the actual compounds that you're seeing that are either higher or lower and 37:54 rye versus bourbon and stuff 37:59 with the careers and math distiller spanning almost 50 years, as well as Kentucky bourbon Hall of Famer and having over 100 million people taste his products.

Like, what what what are the actual compounds that you're seeing that are either higher or lower and 39:17 rye versus bourbon and stuff? Well, so in the, when we look at the UK related compounds, we're looking at things like glycol and Eugene all and we're looking at some of the some of the wood tannins. We're looking at. fennel properties, things like kovarik acid and Saran jaw and ceramic acid things that are oak. They're extracted from Oak, we do we we do so there were several things one is we didn't see big differences between bourbon and rye. We do see some differences between younger whiskeys and older whiskeys. In terms of the kinds of compounds that are extracted, we tend to see simpler Wood related compounds, monomers so things just like the kumbhak acid, ceramic acid for for like acid that are extracted in younger whiskies and then as you get to older whiskies you start to see more tannin you start to see dimers and bigger, 40:20 bigger sort of 40:23 not quite tannins, but somewhere between the simple monomers and the tannins you see the smaller complexes of folk related compounds so like lignans, things like syringe or resin all and Liana resin all things that are more, more complicated probably take more time to extract we also see a number of tried terpenoid compounds that are extracted into the whiskies and again, the longer the whiskey is aged, the more of these things you get extracted, and then the other class of compounds that you see Are our lippitt. So fatty acid kinds of compounds that become more oxidized as the whiskey spends more time in barrel. So they're things that sort of make sense you're going to have more oxidation the longer in the barrel and that's going to be reflected in the profile of the lipids in them in whiskey as well. So what we were seeing was more difference between younger whiskeys and older whiskeys. Not big differences between Bourbons and rise. 41:28 I'm looking at this table to and with bourbon whiskeys. It seems like there's more differentiation compounds in the bourbon whiskey than any other. Is that correct? Am I reading that? 41:38 Right? Yes, you're reading that. Right. And I, I think, in part it had to do with availability of whiskeys at the time we did this study. So we when we were doing this, you could find a broader range of ages of Bourbons and you could for rice This was during that time. At a time when right whiskeys were when it was hard to find older rye whiskeys and so most of the whiskey rye whiskey we looked at were younger whiskeys whereas the Bourbons, we had a full range. And so I think part of the reason there were more compounds in the bourbon that differentiated the bourbon rye was we just had a more diverse set of Bourbons than we did for rise in that first study. 42:24 Gotcha. I thought it was just proving that bourbon is king to everything. 42:29 We could go ahead. 42:31 Yeah, I'm okay. That's my, that's my hypothesis. 42:33 But now that they're older rye whiskey is available. Again, we could go back and repeat the study and see if we get similar outcomes. 42:41 I'm in on that. Let's do it. 42:43 Yeah, right. We'll use Kenny's bar. 42:47 Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at like, again at this table and and kind of, let's talk about some of these like, della hydroxy Benz, and all idle I can't even try 43:02 a Benz aldehyde Yeah, like like that. 43:05 Yeah. So yeah, thank you for saving me they're kind of talk about like, what each one of these are really contributing to the bourbon itself too. 43:18 Well, so I would say the first thing is we don't necessarily know what all of these compounds are doing in terms of their effects on the aroma. So that di hydroxy bends. aldehyde is likely a breakdown product from lignin and it's produced during the toasting slash bile in this case charring process from from the degradation of the lignin that's in the wood. And it's probably got I if I had to guess it's some sort of a medicinal maybe spicy kind of aroma. Nice and so I mean, it's kind of related related to things like Why call in for method wire call? 43:57 All right, what about octane ik acid 43:59 so That's one of the lipids. So actinic acid is a short chain, the eight carbon lippitt. That's probably coming from one of the younger whiskies I'm thinking, man. And then as you get, so you're going to see between eight and 1216 carbon chains are pretty typical for what we see in in these products. And then as the whiskey ages, you'll start to see things like hydroxy October casser, di, di hydroxy actinic acid, so you'll see you'll have more oxygen incorporated just as those liquids get oxidized. And that's going to affect might affect the maybe to a small extent the oiliness it's going to give you some slightly different aromas. Particularly if you start to get a lot of the oxidized liquids president you start to get into what in cognac would be called the run co character. So that sort of character of oxidized lippitt gotcha. 45:06 All right, Ryan, if you're keeping track here, I'm zero for two. I'm pronouncing these correctly, 45:10 but I'm not even trying. So 45:15 I appreciate 45:16 appreciate the effort, right? Yeah. Well, we don't really have to we don't have to do the next one because or the next two because yeah, vanilla and vanilla acid. Vanilla, right. I mean, unless there's something crazy I don't know about vanilla. You can you can school us on that. 45:30 Now that's your you're dead on there. 45:33 All right, then there is that deck cannot depend on acid. 45:38 Yeah. Economic acid. Good. That's no, that's the 10 carbon chain. So you had 45:42 I know that one. No, I'm kidding. 45:46 And then don't economic would be the 12. And then you get into into the longer chain ones. But those are those are part from the wood part from yeast metabolism. 45:58 Cool. So as you listen How about that one? 46:01 And that's a word related. That's one of the one of the compounds that's I mean it's derived from the word it's it's a lignin degradation product as well. I don't know what specific character it would have but you know it's it's going to be part of that set of follow funnels that are that are products of degradation of the wood. So we see similar things would wind as well. 46:27 All right, we got three more to go here Ryan. So we got a leg ik acid or allergic, allergic 46:34 Yeah, logic. So logic, the logic. 46:40 Logic acid is a is a breakdown product from wood tannins, so when you heat would the Alagiah tannins breakdown to illogic acid and then ultimately to Gallic acid. So, it might can contribute some bitterness when it's in before it's broken down when it's still woodturning going to give you some astringency, some some coarseness, some of that woodenness that you sometimes get in Bourbons that may have been at barrel a little too long. 47:10 Awesome. Alright, so we got hepta methoxy flavonoid. 47:16 hepta methoxy flavonoid that's why I'm not really sure what that does 47:22 I'd say stump the chump but man alive there's no way that 47:30 the common theme though I will notice with this is that you keep saying would and so I guess it just proves that 70% of the flavor comes from the wood. 47:40 Yeah, there's some significant percentage of the flavor is wood derived and flavor and a lot of the aromas are wood derived. So that I mean, so that was part of the part of what we're trying to understand is just how critical is would to the character of these products and you would guess going in that it would be And it is now in terms of the aroma. We didn't in this study look at using gas chromatography. So a way to look at the volatile compounds because I mean we you do have different characters and Ryan bourbon in the aroma. And those are not I mean that those are not going to be necessarily wood related compounds, there are going to be some volatile aroma compounds that are related to the mash bill. And that's that's something that we have have looked at in a subsequent paper where we worked with a distiller to produce whiskeys have dealt with different mash pills, different different amounts of corn and rye so that we could try and understand that part of the problem better that part of the equation. But one of the difficulties we have in this kind of work is as researchers we don't have access to what the mash bills are that any of these distillers. Producing and that's fine. So we have to make some estimation about what what they're doing but but then we worked with with a distiller to actually produce whiskies of the mash bills that we that we wanted to try. 49:15 And so on a budget did they give you to like, go buy these bottles? Like, here's how much you got spend. 49:23 The money we use for this came from bits and pieces of startup funds, different sources. Some of it came from our own pockets just because, you know, we wanted to do this work and we're interested in it and we really weren't sure where to turn to to get funding to support this kind of work. 49:42 There you go, right. Yep. Kickstarter, self kickstart. Yeah, 49:45 well, that's it. We we've kicked that idea around of doing a Kickstarter to try and get funding to do some of these projects. Just because they're, you know, it takes money to do this analysis and some of it some of it comes from various startup funds and things that we have a little more control over what we can spend the money on. So 50:09 I'm in for 10 bucks. 50:10 Yeah, man. 50:13 I'm not cheap, like any 50:16 question. One thing that sometimes you get into whiskeys like real fruity notes where those compounds that are bringing that out, 50:24 well, some of those are ethyl esters of some of these fatty acids. Typically, those are the fruity compounds that we see in wine are higher alcohols that are produced during fermentation. And then with the amount of ethanol that's around you, you get a combination of the fatty acid and the ethanol to produce an ethyl Ester. And many of the ethyl esters have these fruity aromas 50:48 yet so while we kind of move on, I've got a lot of questions that are coming in through our live chat through here. So I kind of want to get to some of these because there's there's some good ones here in the live chat. Yeah, I'll send you the link here. So. So as we, as we kind of go through here, there's, there's a really good one. And it's kind of talking about barrel entry proof. And I'm not too sure if you've done any research on that. And this one might just be your best estimate, guess of knowledge here. But can you talk about barrel entry proof in the effect it would have on the solubility of the compounds that are pulled from the barrel? Because many people claim that a lower entry proof like 107 or 110 results in a better whiskey rather than putting in at something like the max capacity at 125? 51:38 Sure. So the first the first thing is we haven't done that sort of research at all. That's something I'm interested in doing. And the whole reason we started down this path of looking at distilled spirits was just to get a wildly different entry proof from what we were doing with wine wine, we're at 15% alcohol. If you're 125, you're 62 and a half. So it's a completely different solvent system, you have so much more ethanol, it's going to affect what gets extracted from the wood. And so we definitely see if you compare wine and spirits, you will see very different things extracted, because ethanol is a really strong solvent. That's the difference between 15 and 6062 and a half. You won't see as wildly different outcomes if you're looking at 110 verses 125. So there'll be some differences. That's still a significantly higher level of ethanol, but it's not going to be as different as what we see between wine and spirits. The higher the alcohol, the higher the ethanol level, the higher the proof. The more organic compounds you'll be able to extract 52:59 you'll die Really, 53:02 you should extract more at higher proof than at lower proof. But you're going to extract different things as well. And so and it's just it's one of the things that we want to do, you're going to see a different set of extraction, you're going to see probably more of the try terpenoids, you're going to see more of the lipids extracted at higher proofs than it lower. But I don't know yet. To what extent that would have what it what impact that would have on the on the whiskey itself. 53:34 Yeah, it's it kind of reaffirms, there was a assumption in the chat that said, somebody that took a few classes over independent stave, and they at least independence Dave said they did some data and did some analysis and said that barrel entry proof of 114 produces the most flavor compounds and they had the data to back that up whereas something that can be higher, can Sometimes extract more of the undesirable compounds. 54:02 Exactly, you're definitely going to extract different things that when 25 then you wouldn't wouldn't 10 and you're going to extract a lot of a lot of it's going to be very similar but you're definitely you have the opportunity to extract some other things at higher proof that may or may not be desirable, you may get better outcomes at lower. We just, we just haven't done the work. We haven't had the opportunity we haven't had access to the whiskies to be able to do that. We are we are starting to work with a local distiller here to to go down these down these rabbit holes to see what there is to see. 54:41 We got whiskey, we can help you out you just let us know. samples. 54:44 Good to know. Good to know. Yeah, 54:46 absolutely. 54:49 In another kind of thing that came up people were kind of wondering, you know, and I think you you kind of talked about it a little bit about not really being able to discern a whole lot of difference between Ryan bourbon based on their mash bill it from a scientific level. But I mean, something that's like a weeded bourbon versus a rye bourbon. Were you able to find any discernible differences between those? Or is it at the end of it, it doesn't look any different in science? 55:19 Well, so some of it comes down to the tools we're using. So when we use the LC cute off, and we're looking at non volatile compounds, what we're really that's a that's a good tool for looking at situations where you have different kinds of barrels, because it's a really good tool for looking at what you're extracting from the barrel. And so we can really easily see differences between Bourbons rise, and scotch whiskies or Irish whiskeys, things that are aged in US barrels. That's really straightforward. Just to see differences in Nashville. We need to look at the at the profile, so we need to use gas chromatography instead. And in this most recent study, we've started to use that as a tool. And then we are able to see more differences based on mash bill. We haven't with that yet looked at Rive versus weeded Bourbons, but that's on the list of things to do. The other thing I would say is using the LC q Tov, we can see we can differentiate between whiskeys of different ages because a lot of those differences are related to what's being extracted from the barrel. We can see some differences between producers based on the barrels that they're using. And, and so it's a tool that could be used for things like is this whiskey really what it says it is, in terms of age or producer, I think with some work and with the right set of library standards We could start to use this as a tool for authentication in case in case there was some concern about a whiskey being what the label says it is. We're not there yet, but I think we, it's a tool we could use for that. The scotch regulatory agencies are are using these kinds of tools to verify authenticity of scotch whiskies, for example, 57:21 do you think that you could look at you know, whether using gas chromatography or HPLC, or anything like that, to sit there and look at and I don't know if you're this deep into the bourbon world, with dusties are basically Bourbons that were from the 60s 70s and stuff like that, versus what's produced today. I mean, do you have any hypothesis on on kind of what that would look like? 57:47 Well, lot Oxygen. 57:50 Oxygen would certainly be one of one of the key things to be concerned about it but assuming that the the package was well sealed and you're not getting a lot of it. oxygen into the folder whiskey. It could be a toll to go back and look at route, for example, the question of entry proof. Because you go back to a certain time when 10 was more common than, then we're where we're at now. So there may be possibilities to look at that. It's also, you know, to look at differences, differences in production practices as well. Some of that would be gas chromatography. Some of it would be liquid chromatography. You know, it's something we are interested in doing. getting access to those kinds of samples is, is not always easy. But we've had some discussions about doing that kind of that kind of work 58:45 need with jack rose, and just go through their whiskey collection. 58:53 Yeah, I'm sure bill Thomas would love that. Yeah. 58:56 All for science. All the name of research. That's how science Yeah, absolutely, 59:01 you know, start to make bad bourbon too. 59:04 Yeah. There we go. Right. We're gonna sell. We're going to sell license plate holders with that on it now. 59:10 That's right. 59:12 So, yeah, so we're kind of we're kind of creeping up to the top of the hour here. And I kind of want to, like finishes on on a strong note, you know, is there is there one thing that you took away from a lot of this research that the average Joe can can make a like a better informed or buying decision or anything like that? Or like, What's it? What's a big takeaway from from everything that you've been doing here? 59:36 Well, I mean, I think we touched on a little while ago that it's, it's a pretty, pretty large percentage of the aroma and flavor in distilled spirits comes from the cast that it started with bourbon, we definitely see some differences between producers we definitely see differences in the age of the whiskey and You know, there's some some really, I mean, it's, as you say, the more you know, the better, the better you're going to be. And it's interesting just to see how these things play out as you look at younger versus older whiskies, and a fair amount of this work has been done during the period of time when the industry was sort of scrambling to have enough. Older, older Bourbons, older rise for the marketplace, there was a lot of demand. And so it's, you know, some of this, it's, you can see some of that challenge and the results that we're looking at in terms of being able to maintain the age of the products that are they're putting on the marketplace. 1:00:41 Fantastic. And I guess I got one more question that came into the chat because it's really going to marry your two worlds here. Right. So what about when a whiskey is aged in a secondary cask like a like a wine or a port casks like envy and some other ones that are out there? Is there a type of like chemical reaction that's happening with this blend? You know, kind of give us your, your kind of take on that. 1:01:09 I mean, we definitely didn't really touch on this because it was more in this in the scotch world. But when you're looking at scotches, there's this big differentiation between scotches that have been aged in bourbon barrels versus Sherry butts. And we can we can pick those out night versus day, the ones that have aged aged and cherry casks look very different from the ones that have been aged in bourbon casks. And I would expect we'd see the same sort of thing if you started looking at other whiskeys that have been finished in Port barrels or Zinfandel barrels or peanut or barrels or whatever other kinds of things that are out there you would see the influence of that other product as well. Some of it is direct influence from the product itself. So the port or the Zinfandel but somebody It is also just differences in wood, you're going to see some differences because of toasted word versus charred wood. There. I mean, there's there there are definitely things to see. And we can also I think, see when we're looking to Sherry casks, we can see differences not just between Sherry and bourbon, but between Spanish oak Sherry casks and American oak Sherry cask. So there's there are definitely characteristics of the ones that shine through in spite of the influence of the Sherry to 1:02:31 it all comes back to the wood 1:02:33 back to the wood. 1:02:34 And we go, I think we can our conclusion or is that we need barrel statements instead of a statements like what barrel was in the char level, that long? You know, the conclusion. 1:02:50 It all comes back to the word. 1:02:52 Yep. This is fantastic. You know, Tom, thank you so much for coming on the show today. And really, like I said, schooling up I've I fumbled on more words than I have, I think in a long time trying to try to get him out here and really, you know, educating our listeners and for us. For myself, I think this was super interesting. Just to kind of see this from a data perspective. In my business, we always say that the data never lies. And so when you look at it, of really what is being influenced by to the whiskey via as we just said, all comes back to the word it's, it's super interesting. In my opinion, we see this but I also want to let you give a opportunity to plug where people can either find out more about you or researching more about you or you're looking at some of your papers. And if we're going to look after this, so hopefully, we'll get some thumbs up and green lights and and you'll be able to find some of these papers on our website when this podcast is is aired. So go ahead and give yourself a plug there too. 1:03:59 Well for Well, it's absolutely been my pleasure to do this, I appreciate the opportunity to come and talk about some of this work. And I'm glad to see there's interest in in this sort of thing because it can get pretty dry and academic at times. So 1:04:11 you feel like you're just like yelling in a cave, like, 1:04:15 good to break it down and and talk to folks who who are passionate about it and appreciate what the implications for some of this might be. So I really appreciate it. And again, if you want to learn more about what we're doing, some of it is posted at the Washington State University Department or medical terminology Program website. You can Google that and it'll pop up and you'll be able to find find me somewhere on that on that web page. So happy, happy to answer questions that people might have as 1:04:47 well. You got it. Alright, so you got questions. Start googling, and good luck. 1:04:54 Good luck. 1:04:57 But But seriously, thank you again for coming on the show. So reach out you can try to find time out there, you can always reach out to us to team at bourbon pursuit com. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to see what we're drinking, what we're talking about where we are today. And if you like the show, and you want to help it grow, we would appreciate it write a review. And if you want to be part of these, as I mentioned, you get to be here during the live chat. You can support the show on Patreon pa te r eo in comm slash bourbon pursuit. Ryan go ahead and close this out. 1:05:30 Yeah, Tom, thanks, man. That was that was enjoyable. I was trying to wrap my head around these concepts and try to talk intelligently about it. Yeah, I think you know, science you try to you try to do something so you can replicate it and you know, have something that's proven nothing time and time again with spirits and bourbon. You just can't replace that human element. And there's so many variables with you know, nature and then the human element of making a consistent product. So it's interesting And I hope there's more continued research about it because it is fascinating. 1:06:04 All right, terrific. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it immensely. And thanks for the interest and yeah, absolutely. The human element is a huge part of it. And a lot of this was really focused on what are the things that matter what are the things that the human element can focus on to get a better outcome? 1:06:20 Absolutely. 1:06:21 Perfect. 1:06:22 All right. Cheers, everybody. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Archives Listen to the Prayer Audio: ​ Heavenly Father, As we gather here before Your throne we are confident that You will use us to bring Your kingdom stronger in America and around the world.  We trust You Father that Your plan for us is great and that we will see Your Glory shine through everything that takes place this day and all the days ahead.  Release Your Holy Angles as protection in our midst to over come the enemy in all of his tactics and plots to defeat us. Lord, we hear Your Voice above all the noise the enemy makes in this hour as they are in the death throes of loosing control and all of their systems that are corrupt are disintegrating and falling apart.   Thank You, Father for separating us from those who claim to know You but You do not know them.  It is time of separation of the wheat from the chaff, those who truly are loyal to You and are willing to die to themselves take up the cross and follow Jesus as His Army for Victory on earth as it is in heaven! Father, we are grateful that You have anointed President Trump with a spirit like King David to face the enemy with boldness and defeat the Goliaths of our day called the Deep State and all of the hordes behind it.  Lord, he has even stepped forward to proclaim that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel. With Kim Clement we have learned ISRAEL IS FOREVER!  We love what You Love Lord.  Even though the Israelites do not know Your Son our Messiah we know You have never abandoned them at the right time they too will worship and honor Yeshuah as Messiah.  Lord the land of Israel is sacred to You for the Blood of Your Son was shed there.  So Lord we cry out No dividing the land!

We proclaim: ISRAEL IS FOREVER TO YOUR GLORY,  O LORD! Father, we know You are true to Your Word!  That You never revoke the covenant You made with Abraham.  It is still a part of Your plan.  Any covenant that we truly make with You lasts and that You never break the covenant it is always us because of weakness and foolishly think we know better than You or can fix it better than You!  Lord forgive us we are always eating of the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of Life.  Lord thank You for the Gift of the Holy Spirit who leads us into all Truth! What a great and awesome Gift we have.  Lord we are so grateful for even in the plan that unfolded for America was established with Mayflower Compact on this day in 1620...399 years ago!

Lord, You gave us America to break away from the tyranny of the divine right of kings and all the rulers who have made their people captives and beholding to man instead of the God of Freedom given us through Jesus the Christ!  Lord we are so grateful that here in America there is a growing awareness of what we have been given and to really know and understand our heritage in Faith!  Yes, we have made many mistakes and done what is evil in Your sight in this land, but as we return in repentance You blot out all our iniquities and wash us white as snow! Lord, this land is Your land and we sand on hallowed ground because of those...

Friday, October 18, 2019Even Me, or AnyoneI give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened me, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry – 1 Timothy 1:12.            What is our qualification to be a child of God, or to do His work?  Nothing in ourselves, for like Paul we too were formerly blasphemers, but have received mercy because we acted out of ignorance in unbelief.            Paul charges us to be strong in the Lord in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10) Why? Because, He had learned by experience that, “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” (Philippians 4:13) God gives us the strength necessary to accomplish what He has set us out to do, so that “through our weakness and inability His strength is made known.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)            As for faith, we often misunderstand faith as the Bible speaks of it.  True faith is being, “fully convinced that what God had promised, He was also able to do.”  It was this kind of faith, “that was credited to Abraham for righteousness.  Now it was credited to him was not written for Abraham alone, but also for us. It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.” (Romans 4:21-24)  True “Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see.” (Hebrews 11:1)            In regards to service, Paul referred to himself using the word “δοῦλος” (doulos) which means “slave.”   Paul writes, “He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God…” (2 Corinthians 5:21) Meaning, “We were bought at a price and must glorify God with our bodies.” (1 Corinthians 6:20)  We are no longer our own, rather we are appointed, or enlisted, to the service of God.            Give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, He doesn’t “want any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) That when we hear and respond to the gospel in faith, our faith can be credited to us as righteousness, and we are strengthened by the Holy Spirit to be useful to God and accomplish His will.            Lord, thank You for seeking and calling me when I was but a lowly sinner and an enemy.  That Your Gospel found me and I received Your grace through the faith that hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ produces.  That You can use me to accomplish Your will and You give me the strength to do it.  In Jesus name, Amen.

The Amazon Rainforest Fires and the Hamburger Connection | ISSUE 22-p (for podcast), Aug. 23, 2019 | Podcast Episode 4NOTE: The following text contains some content not featured on the podcast above, plus links and longer excerpts to articles mentioned. The podcast script is adapted from Issue 22 of Changing Climate Times. Thanks to Kyle Vass for primo podcast coaching. (Check out his work at exchange.prx.org/user/kylevass)INTRODUCTION | ‘As the World Burns’What you’re hearing on this podcast is the sound of a thunderstorm last night that broke overtop the roof of my house. I used to love the sound of thunderstorms. Still do. But if you’re like me, if you’re tuned into the latest, greatest news about climate change, you can’t help but wonder every time you hear a storm. Especially a big one.Is this storm more extreme than the ones I used to love as a kid? Is this yet another crazy weather event, juiced by our drastically changing climate? A climate which according to an overwhelming majority of climate scientists has turbocharged forest fires, hurricanes and floods? Dammit, you can’t even enjoy a nice crackling thunderstorm without wondering if it’s a signal of the climate End Times, come to your neighborhood!Now, I don’t know if last night’s thunderstorm was just your average thunderstorm. But what IS clear, according to people who study such things for a living, is that the forest fires currently raging in the Amazon rainforest are most certainly NOT your average forest fires.Which brings us to this special edition of Changing Climate Times podcast titled “As the World Burns.”CHAPTER ONE | House FireMy friend, Ryan Hagan, also publishes a climate change newsletter. It’s called Crowdsourcing Sustainability. There was something that caught my eye in his most recent issue last Friday. He wrote: “Civilization’s house is on fire and needs to be put out ASAP.”  Of course, what Ryan was talking about is the Earth at large. But within days of writing those words news of fires in the Amazon rainforest caught the world’s attention.The Amazon rainforest is so big it includes 10 percent of the world’s biodiversity and produces 20 percent of Earth's total oxygen. That’s why it is called "the Lungs of the World." Just to visualize its size, if we were able to relocate the Amazon to America, it would be as big as the 48 contiguous United States, minus Alaska and Hawaii. It sprawls across almost half the entire South American continent. The current fires are so widespread they can be seen from outer space. Here’s a time-lapse video of the fires created from NASA satellite imagery over 90 days by Joaquin Beltran: Those blood-red flares that leap up all across the heartland of South America are showing us something. Or telling us something. To borrow my friend Ryan’s phrase: ‘Hey, Civilization! Our house is on fire!!’And what if I were to tell you that we’ve set our house on fire because we want a cheeseburger. CHAPTER TWO | Would You Like Fries with That?You’ll hear pushback from climate deniers that such fires are seasonal in the rainforest. But as Greenpeace forest campaigner Juman Kubba told the BBC in this audio piece, “Why Is the Amazon Burning?” and in this BBC article, the politics of Brazil and corporate supply lines that feed the maw of fast-food chains, play a key role in torching the Amazon.Kubba said there has been a 145 percent increase in fires in 2019 compared to last year, with the rise to power of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. As the BBC piece notes:Forest fires are common from July to October. But activists say Brazilian President Bolsonaro’s policies have encouraged farmers to clear land for crops or grazing—resulting in an increase in fires.“The scale of this is new,” says Kubba. “The rate which were seeing fires is unprecedented. That’s incredible growth … This is the lungs of the planet that are on fire.” Vast sections of the Amazon rainforest are being burned out to raise crops linked to international trade. Says Kubba: “When we go to big fast-food giants like KFC, McDonalds or Burger King, the burgers that we eat will be coming from animals that are fed on animal feed which is grown in places like Brazil.”Those fast-food mega-corporations “have tremendous power to influence what is being done and not done in Brazil,” says Kubba. “So, we should be asking them to change their ways.”At the level of international trade, that also means putting a hold on trade agreements, Kubba says, until the Amazon rainforest is protected “and we really have environmental and human rights protection at the heart of trade deals.”CHAPTER THREE | Enter the boycottWhenever I talk about climate change, a common reply is: “Just tell me what to do!”  Writer Nylah Burton is telling folks what to do. In a  recent Twitter  thread, she said: “If you want to do something  about the #AmazonRainforest and the killing of indigenous people, the easiest and most impactful thing you can do is stop eating beef.”Now, that sounds way too easy. But Burton is not being glib and superficial.Burton expanded upon her tweet in an article in Medium titled “The Amazon Rainforest Is Burning and You Can Help: Stop Eating Beef: The time for change is right now.” She writes:“The boycott is a tried and true  method of resistance. But if you live in Europe, China, the United  States, Canada, or Australia, you may think your boycott can’t help save  the Amazon rainforest, or support the Indigenous people of Brazil.“But  your money—especially if you eat beef and other meats—is almost  certainly funding the degradation of the Amazon rainforest.Burton mentions a report by the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil. It talks about consumer involvement in eating beef that may be sourced from the Amazon rainforest. The report is titled “Complicity In Destruction II: How Northern Consumers and Financiers Enable Bolsonaro’s Assault on the Brazilian Amazon.” It details the Indigenous-led call for people in the countries mentioned to boycott certain Brazilian products and businesses that invade their lands. So, let’s unpack this idea of ‘complicity.’  Complicity is “the involvement as an accomplice in a questionable act or a crime.”I don’t know about you, but I don’t think of myself as a criminal when I pick up a Happy Meal or french fries at a fast-food drive up.But stick with the argument here. The Amazon Rainforest—remember, it’s ‘The Lungs of the World’— is key to the health and well-being of the entire planet. Can YOU and I live without our lungs?I didn’t think so.So, indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest are calling on us consumers to boycott certain Brazilian products and businesses.  They want us to stop supporting businesses that invade the rainforest and engage in illegal deforestation for profit.Burton’s article goes on to note:There are many Brazilian products that are contributing to deforestation, like timber and fossil fuels. But beef is an incredibly easy product to boycott—barring any medical or cultural needs that require beef consumption, of course.CHAPTER FOUR | Getting Beyond BeefIt may be a bridge too far for committed carnivores to immediately stop eating beef. But for folks trying to transition away from eating so much meat, consider this. Perhaps crack open that door by first cutting back. You could start by voting for non-beef vegetarian substitutes like Burger King’s Impossible Burger. The burger is made from soy which has its own environmental issues. The report by the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil also fingers the soy industry in Amazon deforestation. Just like beef, soy is a multibillion profit machine, generating more than $30 billion for Brazil.But we have to start somewhere and kudos to fast-food giant Burger King for baby steps.You might try the pretty amazing Beyond Burger. Unlike most other “veggie” hamburger-like patties made from soy, Beyond Burgers are made of pea protein. They recently released version 2.0. It’s an even fattier blend and it is plain scrumptious.And that blood in the frying pan? Elsie the Cow and tracts of rainforest were  not sacrificed for your Beyond Burger. It’s beet juice. And no, I’m not on retainer for Beyond Burgers. But the company is welcome to send me any new products they launch. Isn’t it time for Beyond Tofurkey?CHAPTER FIVE | Time for TacticsThe drumbeat of all this climate change news can feel overwhelming. There’s a reason there’s a growing field devoted to “eco-despair.” But taking action, however small and local—or maybe especially local, in your town, in my town—can be an antidote to such despair.You know about Banksy, the great anonymous graffiti artist whose work just appears here and there around the world? He left some graffiti on a wall in London recently. It showed a girl, holding a microphone. Scrawled on the wall were the words: “FROM THIS MOMENT DESPAIR ENDS AND TACTICS BEGIN.”And that microphone held by the kid? It’s features logo of the activist, take-it-to-the-streets group Extinction Rebellion.Young folks have been taking it to the streets for awhile now. They’re now inviting adults to join them for the planet-wide global climate strike, coming the week of Sept. 20 to 27, 2019. To a planet near you.Plan a local action where you live at globalclimatestrike.net.SUBSCRIBE to this podcast wherever podcasts are listed or at our website: changingclimatetimes. substack.com | FOLLOW US on Twitter at @TimesClimate. | FEEDBACK, comments and suggestions to Douglasjohnmartin AT icloud.comAnd remember: Change the World.

Archives Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father,         We come to you with a humble contrite heart so that we can be cleansed from any stain or wrinkle on our garment of righteousness You have given us to show we are a part of Your Family. Father, we repent of anything that we have been involved with in regards to being disobedient to Your Commands or if we have in any way led others astray.  We know Lord that it is in true obedience that we show You our love just as Your Son said: if keep His word that You will come to be one with us now in a special visitation in this hour.  Lord we want Your visitation to be extended to a habitation with us!Lord, we are made worthy by the Blood of Your Son, so give You glory honor and Praise in thanksgiving. Father in this time we seek protection from all the attacks of the enemy that we see in the darkness of our day, but You O Lord are Light that leads us and we have nothing to fear because we trust You with all that we have and all that we do for You in spreading the Kingdom here in America and around the world through our prayers and the love we put into action by Faith.  Keep us off the enemy’s radar and scramble His frequencies so that we are attuned to You and stay in Your Vibration so that our song in our heart will be one with Your Heart! Father we seek the continued protection of our President Trump, his wife and family and all those who are close to his heart as friends and fellow workers to bring about the Agenda You have place in him.  Lord that the spirit of David that You have placed on him continue to make him bold and honest in his confronting the enemy both here and abroad.  That You o Lord pour Wisdom and Heavenly Guidance to bring Justice and to bring down the strongholds of the enemy which we call the deep state and all the evil globalism that has stolen our freedom and made us a captive people.  Now Lord, we stand with this man You have anointed to lead us and may the mouths of those who mock and ridicule and hate him be silence and fall from their pedestals of influence be brought under the Hammer of Justice to face the consequences of their choices.  Wake up even those who say they are Christians or call themselves never Trumpers that they may realize what Your plan is through this man and that it is time to stand with him or be devastated by Your Power and Might that protects him. Lord that we will have a true return to understand the great Gift You have given us by creating through our founding fathers and mothers a nation that is truly based of the principles that You have given us through the Scriptures. Lord that those who have lied and deceived us by twisting what we have for their own greedy ends be brought to naught and that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our day be seen in a great awakening and harvest that has begun.  We give You glory, honor and praise and thanksgiving for what is truly happening in America and other nations who are calling on the Name of the Lord and are lifting You up as the only true God. Lord we seek that you lift the burden of debt off Your people and that in this hour we begin to see even more of riches of the wicked shift into the  hands of the righteous and those who will be good stewards to spread the Kingdom and to truly take care of the widow and the orphan and like in the book of Acts we will see none of the brethren in lack.  This is that time that we become aware of how blessed we are in following your Commands and that which has seemed impossible is possible because of our Faith in You!  Lord that we will see that true prosperity is a sign from You that we are the head and not the tail, that we are more than conquerors and that we are winners because we follow and love Your Son, Jesus the Christ who never lost or failed!  So too we are Your children and You want the best for us now and for all eternity.  Not only here in America but around the world where t...

healthcare health plan benefits may vary helps if I need to make their morning live show I was on so that out of the mud you Mary and for Larry where is Jeff when you need him for this is the gotcha project episode number 18 I McGregor with your host Dr. Ken Brown what's happening what's going on up so the writing were already up to this is fantastic were having some great responses I'm even like bumping into people that are looking us up that's a good show gut check project canalboat we are 18 why not 18 years not quite there love my tummy.com just who had knocked it out the bag lobectomy.com/spoony check that out if you would like to get your own Arbitron teal the reason why moving so quickly today is because we've got some studies to get to we've got an incredible gas from an industry that we don't always get to represent on the show that in a course is going to be Travis page 3 of Travis page on he is a drug rep but is also very interesting upward to talk about a lot of different topics but were not to talk specifics of anything know it is to be a general just Pharma thing when I can get him in trouble now is generic company will not be brought up is generic drug won't it's going to be really neutral so there you go Travis yeah Travis will will not reveal his company and I even asked him if I can rhyme it with other words said no idle whiteboard all the guts to hold it up withhe said it won't won't happen so that's about what is a lot of stuff but one of things I do want to talk about is the stories that you had being a grubber the stories that I've had through the years in training what's going on how the drug industry is changed in like this the regulations that have been placed so it's a wild thing because I didn't realize as a young person going to the doctor with my parents what why in our small town to Gainesville occasionally was somebody in a three-piece suit sitting amongst all of the people in the in the waiting room and they always seem to be holding pamphlets and couldn't wait to get in and they didn't have to have their name on the list and they would go back but a lot of things has changed since those days and the way that pharmaceutical representatives have to become educated how they represent to the physicians how they support the positions with their staff and patients etc. so there's so want to get into in a coursers lots of others lots of funny stories to go along with having a yeah a pharmaceutical rep but yes the big news in the big news happens to be in conjunction with the KPD health box and before we forget I wanted you to touch on the feedback that you got this last week and then what you have coming out is a little there's actually an updated change so we did the box opening last week with the KB of the health box but this is a really exciting thing this is a brand-new venture for us and for member box and they did an amazing job and I've had some great feedback my patients were to make big differences you met him boxing is a primary got box yesterday we sat was Sarah Jean and were building next month's box and were making it even better because more vendors are allowing their products to be part of member box you can build your own box once you get going this is really exciting I want to personally change the healthcare landscape naturally and allow people to really start changing things about themselves this pretty awesome because some of the feedback that we got from our patient just yesterday it was scope to received her first box and she said this is amazing I don't have to guess anymore and I thought that was really awesome to have yet another new element of a patient testimony it says this is helping me be healthier and saving money, the biggest thing about the boxes once you realize that there is that study that came out the chilled 79% of the stuff that you're buying at big-box stores or the Walgreens GNC late that article came out which showed that it did not have on the label what was arching the capsules so we took the liberty of going okay you look@thingslikeexamine.com consumer labs and you make sure that things are third-party tested then you realize okay what studies have been done that have actually shown O for instance tumor does do this or trunk teal can help in different ways we get the science to back it and we vetted the products and you're able to get it a huge discount so this particular box hundred $47 for some people that's that's out of range but a lot of people are spending to 5300 on supplements and you may just be throwing it away so hundred 47 to over $250 worth of vetted supplements one of the really exciting things is one of my patients her husband passed away of Alzheimer's disease right and she he was an artist and so she took his original art and she's made cards for basically blank cards thank you cards old-school member like instead of just texting somebody hey thanks that was awesome to catch you write thank you for doing whatever will on the back of it all the proceeds go to the Alzheimer's foundation so were you put that in anybody's box so our office purchased all of her cards and were to put that in the box and I just want it's an opportunity to Cordish to share that message others diseases like Alzheimer's which are really devastating and people you will be reminded of it Mrs. original art that's being sent to restart interact on hey we can put this in your box like that's awesome thank you that is awesome and if you've ever wanted to go and use a physician's recommendation as you move through the aisles of where what supplements actually work which brands are the ones that I can trust and which ones can I save money on to accomplish all of the things that I want to to supplement mount health that's what the K BMD boxes all bouts of KB MD box.com will direct you to where you can learn more to see a video of Dr. Brown on boxing the first months box that'll be replaced here pretty soon when we basically updated and unpack month number two which was very similar to one that always has small little tweaks just to basically improve your health and you can join and you can pause at any time there was never go to the you can go to the the member store and build more build you can deftly build more he can remember boxes getting more and more products in their really and it's all you know I want do is build a box it's based on science speaking of one of our people has member box set me article this morning that I normally would really go to personal stuff here but remember you can little love my Tommy.com/spoony and get a big discount and outrun till you're wondering okay will I don't have bloating or anything like that this article was just sent to me about 15 minutes ago in the article is anthocyanins protect the gastrointestinal tract from a high fat diet -induced alterations blot within burial integrity disposal really fancy these are the molecules are talking about right anthocyanins and what they do they looked at mice and they fed them a typical high sugar high fat American diet and they demonstrated that when they did this that the mice became fat they had insulin resistance they developed steatosis which is fat in the liver and they showed despite Elsa so the bacteria got screwed up and we got then they gave the mice the same molecules that we have and are trying to fed him the same diet and it started to reverse all that process so the science is coming out on this is so fascinating so if you don't if you're not taken Toronto right now because you do not bloated you might want to do it if you're eating a typical American diet leased from the small animal studies so that's and that's in the box and that's one of the main ingredients that's only one more facet in terms of what are 20 or just straight polyp I tried to learn not it's really what polyphenols can do to enhance or protect you and your health so now we know that it works well for gut now we know that tab with that Dr. Bo tells research from the UK from Exeter that polyphenols daily for athletes actually improves performance and tissue perfusion from from blood flow in a course you slow down your recovery time all of that comes from polyphenols not to mention making your endogenous or your your normal CBD your your normal cannabidiol that you have in your body work more efficiently there's just benefits to having polyphenols in your daily diet so we built this box is a gut health box right when you start looking for science to get the polyphenols for performance you get the megastore to increase the diversity of your bacteria so that they can actually use the food that you're bringing in and then the little thing we talked about before was true see that's the micronized hydrogen to improve your VO2 max meaning that you can actually have better oxygenation these are all studies that have just recently come out and of course you get a big steep discount on KB MD CBD oil service it's exclusive to everybody he's a KPMG box number no doubt that will almost all of my patients are on our Toronto plus KB MD CBD because the molecules are trying to augment your own endogenous and or cannabinoids or in other words your own CBD that your body produces and of course taking CBD is like a insurance policy against the world because it's really get you back to balance with your immune system and your nervous system speaking to CVD so I've tweaked my back in the past several years ago a few years ago and unfortunately just this last weekend Gage was out playing basketball up in Kansas and I went to watching and I decided to go engage in a workout and I lifted incorrectly I knew better it's a it's a it's a routine I work at that I normally do but you saw this was Ronnie Coleman 600 pounds on scrub I did 550 550 is from take it easy just be safe though truthfully it wasn't that much weight but what I did I put myself in a in a compromising angle that I don't normally do is in the equipment that usually use I knew better but regardless I did get a small spasm in my lower back usually the past it would take five sometimes seven days to really get more mobility that that injury gets it's a small injury occurred Sunday and you saw me pushing beds yesterday up at the end of center and I'm not 100% but the only difference that I have now that I didn't have the last time I hurt my back from lift is it I take on trying till daily antic CBD now and I think the level of inflammation that I experienced is less now it's anecdotal it's just me I feel great today will Susan feel totally 100% let's go back to that same doing the exact same exercise injure yourself but don't take either that way we have a control group and we have a treatment group you took the words right out of my mouth is exactly what I want to do is drive back to Wichita Kansas Wichita are our lovely and nice has nothing to do that it's just five hours from here to get there so at say it's a long round trip looks like your haircut I did get a haircut and yeah several of them cut several of them I'm such a fancy place what you talking to the person that was chop in your hair I was the hairstylist that's it you you call a woman the catcher here I guess that the hairstylist was cutting my hair and she asked me use it kind of funny in the chair and I say well actually just kinda stretch my back go back I tweaked it but I'm getting better and then she went on to tell me a story about she had been rear-ended by a large truck that erection Torcon on Interstate 35 in Denton and it took about eight months to get back to where she could hold her arms up to cut hair and then you know work at home in the scissors and without feeling fatigued lots of pain so I stress it would all work that she said well I did a few things that the pain doc recommended that do it it stretches but what made the biggest difference for me is when I found a CBD that I could trust and I could take but the hardest part should try several she has rides whatever we value this all the time she said the hardest part was finding one that was reputable that she could depend on didn't break her wallet so the one that worked the best was running her a little over $135 a month and she said it'd always make it to the end of the month even though she was following the instructions on their I let her talk and it was almost like she just walked straight into what you know what it is that you do it sought his ashes what would it have made a difference if you had a physician it said I recommend this CBD because it works clinically for my patients and here's why and she said I would've done in a heartbeat if so what if I could told it would have been about half the cost of the hundred and $35 brain that you are using she said well obviously I would've saved money I would've felt better Chuck told her that KB MD she she went straight to an ordered some so it's it's it's really kind of cool that we remove the access of the cost and that of the worry of is this legitimate CBD and so there was talk about it notes the waters are being really muddied right now. His boots of there's people there's essential oil companies that outrun at CBD there's every try to put it in different things and people ordered off Amazon which right now you're getting hemp seed oil united in getting CBD right is lots of mislabeling and so I think it's really important to have something to trust same thing that you're doing and buy a supplement or make sure that your CBD use is of quality something will happen is also on the topic of that of yesterday I I like it is so Greek salad and turkey patties from from Kenny's burger which is right by my brother my office to tasty Kenny's burgers but Chef Eric said that he was with him on the show under someone holding to it here pretty soon but I was I was Artie talking some people some somewhat regulars there was I googled you and I found you show LOL my guess it's also active on the show because it googled me as a doctor but find it a joke of growth nature and that she was tell me more about the CBD and then just immediately started this whole discussion about passivity was her talk about it and then it went sideways because she goes what you talk about tomorrow Mike that's a great thing am open to looking at different articles a look at what is really interesting one that just came out about a fecal microbial transplant is not effective in irritable bowel I forget that I'm at a restaurant you said that getting said yeah out loud to your class he got real classy records. The never disconsolate that I had to explain the article on the Gladwell will so you take what you slurry it up and put it I'm sorry document can you please leave the stage and a restaurant as I know I was like what yeah okay I'm just as it doesn't get any better not go into detail about how they actually did it which is what I want to do later maybe go to a restaurant that is not does not sell more burgers is Chevron Arcana came out was like yeah let's just move you back in the corner over there and let everybody else eat the burgers no need to wash your hand yes exactly so that we talked about CBD they found us just by doing and then I got put in the corner because I have a potty mouth it's okay well yeah is about a subject hey I just a real real quick reminder for all of our listeners be sure to like and share the gut check project and then shoot us an email gadget project.com under a connector contact let us know that you like and shared we got hundreds of people over the last few weeks so we are still going to give away the signature protection package which is a combination of Tron deal and KPD CBD month supply direct from yours truly Dr. Brown so where are we on the research topic for this week Jess of Unitech before Travis Or Did You Want to Save It's for Now Save It for a Little Bit I Want to Get More into Tell Me What Happened with the Family That's Compacted in Which Delegates You Go That's Great Is His Last Big Tournament As a Yeah Is a Highschooler before He Starts Haskell Ball I Got Have One More Turn up the Rest of the Summer but They Went

Dallas Duncanville and Other Match of Seven in Kansas Were Were Great I Mean They They Were Challenged They Ended up Finishing Two into One Teenage Face Twice They Beat Once in the Last Two Later and but If It Was It's so Good for the Development of This Program for Them to Have That Kind of That Kind of a Set up and It's It Puts Them into a Real Game Environment and That the Boys Worked Hard so It Was A Lot Of Fun and It's Always Good to Get at Town with Any Family Member Where You're Kind of Forced to Sit the Car Talk, but As Funny Subjects Laugh So It's Now I'm Not Really Fortunate Both My Kids Did Have Good Road Trips Exactly in and You Guys Are Sit There Talking You Know He's on His Phone Now Which Due To the Lot Where They Put the IPad the Back Everything Else We Do the Same at like Whatever We Do Road Trips It's You Realize You Hate to Drive Yes but I Have Kinda Grown a Little More Fond of It Because You Gets up and Talk Yeah My Undivided Attention When My Back Was Hurt Then on the Way Back so Gage Gauges Forced to Drive and I Could Even Look down to Look at My Phone) That We Had a Great Trip and Then Abreaction Stayed in Town Because Our Youngest Son Here the Best Will Tournament but Here's the Crazy Thing You Know That I Live in a Small Town or to Such a Small Town of 5000 People Marie Was a Part of This New Concert Series It Happens Indicator That They Would Just Now Starting to Implement and They Had a Large Music Acts That Amos Tony Leroux Who Came to Downtown Decatur Will Have 5000 and Change That Claims They Live in Decatur Property Had over 6000 People on the Square Just to Watch This One… That's so ALSO They Did a Great Job of Promoting and Bring Your Buddy Downtown so It's It's like A Lot Of of Americana in Canada Trying to Revitalize the Old Square

Got Six Place 256 of the Best National Tennis Players in the Country and He Was the Youngest Which Is No Problem and What Was Really Cool Is That Carla Was There the Whole Time but She's Good Enough Now That She Can Warm Lucas up so She Was Lucas's Warm Apartment Nice so Yeah so I Thought That Was Really Really Cool so Last Night so They Came in on Sunday and Last Night They Start Asked Me about the Show Which I Think Is Really Fun so Carl Goes You Know What You Say about Me Tomorrow You Might Hello Point I Would Have Been with You Which Is like I Won't Look Us up so I'm like Okay Then Something I Could Not Do Liberals Don't Ask Me to Do No No No It's Impossible Bulges Flyby and Then Lucas Others Pretty Cool Because the Last Week You're Talking about How the Weeds Grow Everywhere Yeah and He Goes I Found a YouTube Channel Called Great Big Story Just Random Stuff Is Really Well Done 4 Million Subscribers Whatever Okay There Was a Story on That He Said Talk about This So Interesting and Will Get Only Gets up Patrick's Take on a Couple of These Things but It Is a Harvard Law Professor Who Dropped out or Just Quit after Practicing Law Just Said Turned on with This Became Forager So to Speak She Became a Weed Expert Okay And She Just Goes around Collects Weeds and She Takes Them to the Finest Michelin Star Rated Restaurants in New York City Where the Chefs Do Amazing Things with Weeds and Never Last Week Were Taught about the Fact That These Weeds Grow They They Have More Seeds That Grow Were in Inhospitable Environments They Have All These Different Sure Were Probably Looking at A Lot Of Food That We Could Be Dabbling in but I'm Not Encouraging Everybody Run out and Start Eating Everything in Your Yard EE I Remember That Reverent Story Ever into the Wild Right the Alexander Supertramp Who Happen to Eat Something and He Was Bare Garlic Instead of Wild Garlic Which Was Listed on the Same Page the Buckingham Dying in a School Bus in the Wilderness of Alaska but Yes That Moving the Book Is Really Great Actually Acts and Injuring Them in a Book on My Think at the Book and the Action Was an Article in Outdoor Magazine and Then It Was Became a Book and I Became in the Movie but down What Was That We Need That You Said That You Are You Ready Okay so Yeah There so Many Edible Plants but Having A Lot Of Them Require Special Preparation There's One in Texas Called Pulte Salad And down like a Silver Dollar Weed The Problem Is Yes the Boiler like Five Times Boiler Drain It Boiler Drain and Boiler Drain It before It Doesn't Make You Sick and Ends up Just Being Another Boiled Green but My Question Is Always Point How Many Children Did You Make Sick Throat Got up I Will March Me Know Jill's Sixth Mother Let's Try To Boil More Time Drain It in and Try Again I Never like Blowfish How Many Sailors on One Ship Died. I Cut It Correctly Yeah but Having Kids Is Probably Act of Desperation Is to Find out What You Mean at Some Point You're Kind of Force You Do Yeah I Mean and Forging Is a Big Thing Now I've Been Assuring You While the Hunting Wild Mushrooms in I Know He's Actually It's It's Awesome but It's Really Scary Because I Don't Know You Know We Have from Even It Comes to Mushrooms On One of the Episodes We Had Cooper Read on the Atkins We Did a Whole Episode on How to Identify Mushrooms How They Grow Idea That's Fascinating to Me That My College Is Coming I Don't Know How in the World They Can Get That Confident I Can Think You Could Study and Study and Study but Then Suddenly You're out on Your Own Going and That Was Pretty Good Really Want You Try That Make Sure It's Pretty Good Note School Is out Is Morels Have Not There Is No Other Mushroom That Looks like Them That's Poisonous so You Want Hot Mushrooms Be Sure to Learn How to Identify Morel Mushroom and Forget the Rest And 80 Bucks a Pound It's Been Shopping for Where Do You Find Morel Mushrooms and Well All over the Place at Texas Not so Much North Texas Maybe Far North Texas Arkansas Missouri Digits Did You Know That A Lot Of Texas Mushrooms Joke in the Arm of the Supercollider There Are Going to Build Oh Yeah so That the Tunnels They Began to Build Around Here in North Texas That Quercetin Completed but There Are These Gigantic Tunnels They Had to Make That They Made Use of Them And Eight They Cultivate and Grow Tons of the Mushrooms That You Get in Your Grocery Stores in the Old You're Kidding Supercollider Tunnels Yes It's Really Awesome They Have Is Awesome That My Ankle Time I Know That Jerry and Ray They Walk in a Manner like These Big Wheels and I Mean It's like the Perfect Tank No Sunlight Environment for White Mesh Row Ever since Ever since That Episode I Become so Intrigued by Mushrooms Was Even a Netflix Special That I Watched about Mushrooms and How Prolific They Are All the Things That You Do You Know Him As You Know I'm a Big Fan of All the Research Going on with Silicide and the Micronutrients and in Mushrooms Are Me and Can't Get Them Framed from Any Other Sources It Is Amazing with a Half-Hour I'm Looking at the Time I Feel This Is Unbelievable and We Yeah This Is Unbelieving Okay so Coming up Next Generic Travis From the Generic Page Family Talking Here Outline a Cyclical Generics Is Generous Is There's There's There's It's Also Generic It's a Way to Teach You How to Be so Generic That You Will Be Invisible Will Generically Laugh Your Ass off If You Are Trying to Quit Drinking or Doing Too Many Drugs Listen to Me You Don't Know Me and Will Never Meet I Had a Problem like You Want I Drank and Used a Party a Little Too Much till He Got Out Of Control and Almost Ruined My Life I Realize I Needed Help to Fix My Problem before It Totally Destroyed Me If You Tried to Fix Your Drinking and Drug Problem and You Know You Can't Do It Alone You Need to Call the National Treatment Advisors That Will Immerse You into a 30 Day Program to Replace Your Old Habits with New Habits and Totally Change Your Life and If You Have PPL Private Health Insurance the Entire Program May Be Covered Fix Your Problem Right Now before It Gets Any Worse Get Clean Call Now and Learn More 800-296-1252 800-296-1252 800-296-1252 800-296-1252 Are You Tired of High Cable TV Rates Sign up for Dish Today and Get a $500 Bonus Offer While Supplies Last Loss Locking Your Price for Two Years Guaranteed Call American – Your Dish Authorized Retailer Now 800-570-6630 800-570-6630 – 800-570-6630 Authors Required for the Occasion 20 from Early Termination Fee at the Auto Vein Restrictions Apply Call for Details Fast-Track Student Loans Can Get Your Student Loans Out Of the Vault Stop Any Wage Garnishments Stop Collection Calls and Stop Seizure of Your Tax Refund Give Yourself a Break to Stop the Stress and Get Your Student Loan Payments down to As Little As $25 a Month Based on What You Can Afford to Pay 800-709-4395 800 709-439-5800 709-439-5800 70943950 Projects We Are Now Joined with Mr. Travis PageIs the Generic Pharmaceutical Everything That Was Brought on Correct That's Correct Okay Now We've Just Gotten Legal Permission to Show His Face That Is Not That Generic Is That Some Other Cool Stuff Going on That's How You and I Originally Met You Had These Studies Cattle They Were Doing Anything That That There Were Supposed to Tell Me to Bring the Girls Alert the Cold Court Entered an Elected Mexican Cattle Espanola Yeah I Went to His Ranch in the Rye Had Little I Little Discussion Was like Him He Stood Back to His House yet Is How We Got in Line Had Never Thought about Speaking Spanish I Don't Speak Spanish but the Mexican Guy Needed You to Come over and Help Me out with That Once We Got in Line I Was like Hey I Got a Great Idea I Hope You Want You Come to My Office and Bring Lunch Occasionally That That's How It Works Yeah That's Right. That's Really All There Is It's Almost 90s What Is What You Say 97% of Pharmaceutical Reps Started in the Cattle Industry Oh That Is It's Much Lower Than That I Hope My Way off Bad Stats in Math and so Well We Get Now That We Have Somebody from the from the Farms of the Industry We Wanted to Have Travis Calloway in on Some of the Articles That Were Going to Discuss Today and in the Science Corner From Dr. Brown so Let's so I Got It Norma What Transmittal Do Sometimes I'll Take a Really Kind of a Cutting-Edge Article and Take a Deep Dive but There's Several Different Studies That Pertain to Our Previous Shows I Just Want to Come to Gloss over Them Wanted to Let Travis Decide Which One Were to Talk about First So Very Important You May Just Pick One of Those Pages Are All Negative That Gary Sakata Description First Actually Do You Want to Hear about the Tie between the Jott Micro Biome In a Potential Way to Help People with ALS Pamela Tropic Lateral Sclerosis Is Usually Known As Lou Gehrig's Disease Stress Data Was Choice Number One Choice Number Two Would You like to Hear the Previously Discussed Kenny's Restaurant Poop Transplant Story Choice Number Two Choice Number Two or Choice Number Three Out Of a Canadian University They Been Able to Identify And Produce Molecules in This Behalf Plant That Are Actually 30 Times Stronger Than Aspirin For Anti-Inflammatory Now You Heard Eric Talk about His Back Could Be That CBD Was Doing Something Real Nice We May Have the Molecules Three so This This Is Actually More of a Personality Test For You to See Where You Actually Landed Where Where You Headlined Is Generic Travis Your Job Is on the Line Yeah I I Feel like It's a Personality Test the Number Two with the Poop Would Be like to Go to Choice One with the Got Biome ALS Biome LSO Study Just Cannot Hear with I Looked at the Motor Neuron Disease ALS What They Have Found Is That There Is a Clue That This Horrible Condition and We Had Brandon Brown on Last Week We Were His Dad Died We Went into A Lot Of Detail about the Just Slow Progression of It and You Know We've Had Other People Call in That Event Actually Dealt with Us so Is This What Killed Stephen Hawking They Have Linked Changes in the Micro Biome That Live in Our Gut so They Have Discovered That Micro Biome Will Secrete a Proper Micro Bar Will Secrete Nicotinamide Vitamin B3 And This Appears to Slow the Course of Motor Neuron Disease by Improving the Function of the Muscle Control Neurons in the Brain Now This Is Pretty Exciting Because This Is the First Time They've Been Able to Show How the Micro Biome Will Produce a Neuroprotective Molecule and What They Showed Is That They Took Some Mice and Dooming a Biotics in the No Longer Produce So When We Start Destroying and Dropping Bombs and Not Feeding Our Microbiota We Don't Produces so It Nicotinamide You Made This May Seem Familiar to You Because We Were Working with the Guys That Produce Nicotinamide Ribonucleic Acid Which Is a Precursor of This so Basically What Happens Is Nicotinamide Gets Converted to Something Called NAD Plus and This Converts Food and Energy It Repairs DNA and It Helps the Circadian Rhythm so All These Things Eventually I Want to Try Get Some NAD in Our Box Sure but so It's Pretty Exciting Because Once Again It Comes Back to the Gut Can Affect Your Brain Were All about the Got Right Axis Here And so That Was Kind of Exciting and We Should All Think before We Just Go over to Gazette about Taking Antibiotics to Eat This Crappy Food Because Your Kinda Doing Some Neural Protection Every Time You Eat Polyphenols Every Time You Improve the Diversity of Your Micro Bio/ME I Think That You Could Look at There's Two Inputs to Your Brain and and Its Health One Is the Obvious It's What You're Doing to Learn and Keep Your Your Mind Active but the Other Thing Is Just Plain and Simple You Rest of Your Body Has To Get Nutrition From Somewhere in the Only Way to Get It Eat What You Eat in a Matter I Would Just Shown Time and Time Again That the Typical Western American Preservative Filled the Diet the Preprocessed Food It's Just Destroy Your Health It Really Is We Were Seeing an Epidemic of Autoimmune Disease and Everything Else Which Is Why I Think Everyone Has an Endo Cannabinoid Deficiency We Always Talk about This There Is the Gastro Vessel System the Cardiovascular System Neurologic System Will Have an Endo Cannabinoid System I Want to Be the First Board-Certified Endo- Kanab and All Just out There I Think I Can Because I'll Have To Form the Whole John Ronald to Certify Myself Immediately to Me Interesting Residency for Sure It Will Be Really Interesting Yeah So That the Other Study Were to Talk about Which Is These Guys Figured out These Two Molecules Cannot Live in a Can of Light and Be What's Interesting to Me about This Is That They Are Flavonoids So in a Full-Spectrum Hemp These Are the Polyphenols Which Are Also Was CBD Original CBD Nobody Talk about All the Other Molecules That Come along with It We Talk about the Terpenes Which Are the Essential Oils and We Talk about the Flavonoids Which Are the Polyphenols Right And What They Showed Is These Template and a and B They Provide the Anti-Inflammatory Benefit of Taking a Full Spectrum Interesting and They Showed They Can Show This Is What's The More Interesting They Implied That They Show That These Different Molecules Are 30 Times More Effective Than Taking Aspirin by Blocking Prostaglandins Prostaglandins As Part of the Arachidonic Acid Pathway Okay yet so Just for Those Who May Not Be Completely Aware of Their Economic Acid Pathway You Start with the Prostaglandin and It Moves down I Think It's Either Level I or Level II You Get into the Cyclooxygenase of the Cox Enzyme Correct Correct and That's Where Aspirin and Those Other NSAIDs Would Work so Basically You're Saying That a Natural Flavonoid Will Stop or Prevent That That Progression down That Pathway Earlier Correct Exactly This Is Patrick He Is Just Studio Touching Things Very Range of ZZZ's Adjusting Camera Started out There So So What's Really Actually about This Is That There's No There's Big Business I Mean Back When I Was a Resident There Was Talk of a Farmer Here for Second the People Throwing the Money Out Of Us Were the Cox Two Inhibitors Sure of Who I Can't Member Who They Were but They Got There Pulled off to the Realtor Causing Heart Attacks Afflicted by Vioxx Was One of the so Just to Finish up This Article There Was Really Interesting Because I Was like Wow This Is so Cool and Then I Went These Guys Didn't Discover This in Fact It Was Discovered in 1985 That These Molecules Did This What They Did Is They Discovered the Enzyme to Produce It So They Want to Start Manufacturing Just These Two Molecules And They Probably Will Make It a Drug Sure like They Want to Do so This Is Interesting Because We Talk All the Time That the Full Spectrum Allow Mother Nature to Do Her Thing So No Offense of the Farm Industry but Frequently Though Find Something Oh There Is the Molecule during This Then They'll Manufacture It and Hope That It Works As Well As in Mother Nature but We See It Time and Time Again That It Doesn't You Need Everything in the to Do It and I Did Have Some Fun with This Because I Want on Reddit and Looked at Somebody I Recently Discovered Read about Three Months Ago Yes It Just Started Ready Friend and I'm like Reddit Thing Is Super Cool When You Find That Modems Had a Quick Side Note They Go on I Gonna Read It Funny Pretty Good Way to Start Your Day Just Looked at Cop Arresting a High a Really High Kid and I Don't Know What Happened before Goes the Cop Looks at Him and Just Goes I Mean like When They Make Fun of High People and They Portrayed in Movies You're Mad As Hell Man Thanked Its Front Page Read It for Sure It Was so Somebody Wrote Them Basically What They're Talking about Is That It's Been Known for a Long Time That These Kenna Flavin's a and B Have Been Able to Do This and the Study They Were Referring to His 1985 but It Just Kind of Implies That This Is You Know the Way Things Go What's Really Cool about It Is That There Are Potentially Thousands of Other Molecules We've Not Discovered In These Plants I Made Such a Complex Plant Which Is Why Think It Is so Many Things so That's Article Number Two Article Number Three Is I Get Asked All Time on My Patients about Fecal Transplants and so You Take Someone's Poop Stick and Somebody Else and A Lot Of My SEBO Patients A Lot about Your Mobile Patients Always Asked That Randomized Trial Came to the Conclusion That Now It's Not Any Better Than Placebo the Real Taking Someone Else's Poop Does Not Help Irritable Well Hey Just a Curiosity That Particular Study How Big Was It and Are You I Do Think the Methods Were an Effort to Be Disk and Totally Conclusive on That Element Now I'm Sure It's Not and I Don't Member Lussier Got off Public Results I'm Only Curious Because We've Seen in the past but Sometimes You Can Hundred and 75 People Recruited Okay 75 Now That Being Said It's like All Things for Me and Some Other People Would Go Ahead and Critique Us so They Took the Capsules the Frozen Food Pressure Okay Though Some Would Argue Is It You Know Is It Actually Working to Present to D Have To Go in and Do This so Do Remember Quick Side Note We A Few Years Ago We Were Interviewed We Had This Yale Gastroenterology Fellow We Took A Lot to Eat He Was Considering Joining Us and His Research Was on Fecal Microbial Transplant so Taking My so What They Would Do Is Take a Skinny Mouse and a Fat Mouse and They Would Swap and See What Happened with That Mousey Little Skinny Mouse and They Were Showing That Fat Mice Started to Lose Weight after Getting the Fecal Transplant Skinny Mice Gained Weight So While He's Telling Us This As You Can See I Have a Habit of Talk about Poop and Restaurants Yeah Our Waitress Was like What Hold on to Explain That He Goes into More Details I Guess I Will Publish This in It's Really Exciting She's like He Was Ever Thought about How Their Fat Families Is Genetics or Are They Sharing Their Poop Once You Live with Somebody Long Enough Whether You like It or Not You Sharon Poop and Just to Women with Somebody so She Just Goes Oh My God It Looks over the Water Boys like Six 420 S. West That Just Became the Sexiest Man in This Restaurant Yeah Yeah Yeah I Did So so Anyways Brigham Young University Just Came out with Actually Did a Fecal Microbial Transplant Study on Weight Loss The – Documents and so Is Small Study but It Actually Did Not Show That Improved Weight Loss I Had a Patient That Did a Microbial Transplant from Her Sister and She Ended up Getting The Same Diseases As Her Sister Though She Developed Acne and Hypothyroidism and Put on Weight It's Really Interesting Though Because I Think It Even United Whenever That Study First Came out from Brigham Young That Was That There Probably Are Still Some Environmental or Extrinsic Controls That There Probably Weren't Measured Because Did the Fecal Transplant Actually Have Number One Time to Change the Habits of the Desires the Person Had Now It Seems like There's A Lot Of Different Facets Whenever You're Talking about Essentially a Human in the Wild of the Western Civilization and And All of the Different Offerings That You Can Have for Food Sources Etc. Can Be Reversed So I Thought from a Generic Farming Nice Yeah so I'm in a Really Have To Not Beating in My Scene To Ingest Somebody Else's. Psalm Tanya Seems like There Would Be A Lot More Negative Than Positive to Write Well Will I Think That There's so Much Science Coming out on the Micro Biome We Don't Know What to Do with And There's A Lot Of People Who Are Really Desperate I Think You're on an Island I Think Most People Are Totally into Having Someone Else Do You Think That We Took a Poll I Don't Know It See This Is What He Brings up a Good Point Maybe My Sample Size Is Way Too Small Maybe I Need to Ask More People Than Just Myself Okay That Was No Pun Intended Right Your Sample Size I'm Glad Someone Is Picking up a Ladder Right after L Phoenix on Friday Obviously Travis Does Not Work for a Mixed Good Restaurant Is Awesome Yeah but No It's Believe It or Not It's a Topic of A Lot of Scientific Inquiry Right Now Yeah Microbial Transference the Microbiota What's Going on I Mean This Is People Not Ever since the Advent of the Phone I See More Pictures of People's Poop and I Don't Need to Just Keep It Right There Don't Know What You Can I Got the Good Imagination I Imagine That Is Interesting No and We Did Get Asked about That Quite a Bit at the Procedure Clinic About What You Know about Fecal Transplants but I Think There's Still Time Left to Discover If It's Well so It's the Brakes of Been Put on It Because Just Recently That Study, We Have People Died Two People Died from Getting a Fecal Transplant Because the There Was a Bacterium That Yeah That's What I Was in Salmon There's That Negative Outweighing the Positive Right Because There's so Much Negative from Its Waste Right I Will yet so Technically That's True but That's It Has Your Micro Biome and It Has A Lot Of Dead Things Is a Ton of Waste in It and You Know Poop Is Extremely Complex We Don't Really Quite Understand What to Do with It or How to Make It Better but We Do Know That Your Micro Biomes Your Genome within Your Genome We Need to Start Treating That Accordingly Give It What It Wants You Start Having A High Process with High Sugar Food You're Going to Have Bacteria That Are Going to Proliferate More I Will Start Sending Signals to Your Brain to Ask for More of That so Are You in Control Or Is Your Bacteria in Control of You That's the Interesting Thing Yeah Definitely Has Many Other No Words No That's That's We Just Waited Technically for Quick Studies Today NL Just Came out but Right Now I Got I Got I like Commit to One and Do a Deep Dive on It but We Were Able to Come to Cover the Cover Basis Rather While They Want to Gain It Well Travis Walking the Show Thank You Ashram so You Were Born in Carrollton Texas Correct Yes and Currently Now and of Course We All Teasing but We Can't Worried Asked Not to Totally Reveal Exactly What Farms It Was a Represent What Company That You with but That Won't Prevent Us from Talking about the Journey to Get to Where You Are Now so It Will… Let's Go Ahead and Cleverly Were Microfiber but the Reality Is Is That the Pharmaceutical Industry Has Been under Fire for the Last Decade or so Though Sure That the Regulations What Can Be Said What You Can Be Represented Have Really Been Ratcheted down in Some Part of the Fun I Want to Do Today's Talk about My Journey As the Doctor Where There Was No Limit Free-For-All It Was a Free-For-All to Now Would You like to Know You Can't Say Anything And I Can't Bring You Anything and We Can't Do Anything and Everything's under Tight Regulations It's Morphed A Lot I Mean Definitely over the Last Three Decades It's Probably Not a Recognizable Profession When It Was 30 Years Ago Compared to What Is Now Yesterday There's a Guy That That Worked with On the Primary Care Side That Will Just Call MAC Outright and He Was 60 Something Years Old He'd Been through He Made It through like Eight Different Layoffs over The Course of His Career Right Me Just Could Not Kill This Guy And He Was a Fixture Every Wednesday He's in This Particular Office Right and I Just Asking Him and Talking to Him about What The Industry Was like 30 Years Ago When I Came into It I Mean You I Missed out on On All of That Right and You Know It's It's the Only Sales Job Really That I Can Think of Where It's Not Okay to Take Your Customer to Dinner or Take Your Customer out for a Drink or out to Play Golf or or Whatever the Scenario Might Be I Mean Yeah One of My Best Friends Is His Family Owns a PVC Pipe Manufacturing Company Right They Live on That They Live on Entertaining Their Customers I Mean It's Expected Brian and I Is Not Funny Because Doctors Now Are so Scared Especially with Happen to Some Hospitals Doctrine Hospitals the Stuff That If You Own It If You Do Anything in Medicine I Do Not Want I Don't Take Any Money from You I Do Not Want to I Feel like a The High-Level College Recruit Just like Now What I Will Pay for My Own and Because He Is There so Much Fear on the Doctor and Roots like Look at You Being Influenced And the Reality Is There Was A Lot Of Money to Influence People's Behavior and That's What That's Why the Relations Came around His Right Is Wrong I Don't Know While Internet and That All of the Training and Everything You Get Is a Rat Now Is All Very Patient Focused Right It Is It Is All about Presenting a Case and Paying a Picture of a Particular Patient That Needs Help And That That's Really Our Job at This Point Is to Go Get in Front of the Physician Somebody Has the Capability to Improve Somebody's Life Right by Writing a Prescription or Doing a Procedure Whatever the Case May Be in Just Painting a Picture of the Patient That They See on a Daily Basis but Maybe Get Lost in the Shuffle Are That They Don't Recognize and Try to Paint a Picture of How That Patient Suffering and How You Can Help So I Mean I We Will See the Company Name but I've Been Doing Clinical Research for A Lot Of Different Pharmaceutical Companies and I Work A Lot Assigned to Place on Sears Has Some Really Smart PhD's That a Return to Work This out so There's There's All Different Kinds of Views of What This Industry Is and What It Was What It's Become And Everybody Insurance Companies Have a View of That the Patient Has a View of That the Doctor Has a View of It the Company and There's so Much So Many Moving Parts That Are Continually Moving so If a Drug Company of Or Research Division of the Drug Company Has a Pretty Good Product If It Doesn't Look like It's Gonna Be a Homerun There's Just a Recent Pharma Startup Were There Looking at Something in Cannabis in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial Was Looking Bad And Somehow It Got Leaked Their Stock Plummeted 81% On This The Rumor That the Trial Wasn't Going Well It's Crazy Because He Almost Are Stockholders in Industries like That You're Always Betting on the Future It's Never on the Present Value of What Merely Delivering a Good Service Would Heavy It May Have so Much Weighing on That in Fact If Armor the Number Correctly You May Be Able to Correct near It's Probably Grown since Then but the Late 90s We Were Told the Stat And That Was That so Much of the Money in the United States Of America Pharmaceutical Industry Is Strictly to Stave off the Costs of R&D and the Elements That Go into That to Move That Product Soaked over Told Is That before One RX Is Sold of Any Doesn't Matter All Comers Is Sold That over $1.4 Billion Had Been Invested Industrywide to Create Good Multifarious Trials the Experiments That the Development Of a Said Drug That Would Come with Every Lineage You You Yourself Even Said They Had That Started with a Steady Back in 85 and Now They're Trying to Find an Enzyme to Do Something Will Were 30 Years Removed from That so over That Time How Many People Spent Time Reading That Article so This Is an Aggregate of All of the Time and All the Research That Goes into This and Avenue Where We Can Improve Either an Outcome or What Have You Is Just A Lot Of Money on Top of That Before You Can Turn a Drug out to Somebody You Gotta Go through At Least Three Phase Clinical Trials and Then Moving to the Force Where the Consumer Will I Will Say This Travis Are Here Because Number One Your Atypical for a Drug Rep So How in the World like What Your Journey

Uses the Potty but Now It Away This Is What Amphibians Do Nowadays This Is with Her into Everybody's Evolving Everybody Is Evolving See Evolving so Tribes You Had Quite a Change from You Went to If You Had Mentioned Earlier That Lady Said He Went to Stephen F Austin Kratz Yes Sam Foster State University down in Nacogdoches or East Texas and Currently Now You Live in Crom Which Is Just West of Denton Texas Correct Correct and You Did Not Leave Your Team Roping Skills behind Is Part of Your History You Just Lunch Would Expand on That You Have Any They Do That Anyhow Yes so That in Our Roadblocks in College and We Always Thought That the Timed Event Guys Are Kind of the Sissy Guy I Know I Just Turned out They Were the Smarter Ones Right It Really It Really Does Turn out That Away You Know Your Your Career Is Is Prolonged Quite a Bit You Know When When Your Mount Is Not Trying to Put You on the Ground Hurt You You Know so It It Was Very Much Considered to Be and an Old Man Type Thing by the by the Rough Stock Guys Will Now I Fit That Bill Right Side Zero Shame about about Team Opening It's Actually Extremely Complicated and I'm Rude I Learn Something New Every Time I Go about so It's Some Guys Fish Some Guys Play Golf on Llama Pharmaceutical Rep by Trade but My Hobby Is Timo Days a Week Do You Do T-Mobile or Do You Work on It Yes so It's It's Tough Right Because of You Know All the Resource That You Need to Actually Practice Something I Have You Know What a Dummy If You Will That I Can Roped It Stationary That I Can Do by Myself All the Time but to Actually Get Rigged up and Get on a Horse in and Have a Live Cattle the Rope for Me Not to Be Someone You Have the Cattle Strictly Roof Yes so This We Just Built a House Last Year But before That I Was on a Real Property That Actually Had the Facility A Roasting Pan on It and so We Would Bring Cattle Lisa Basically to This Facility but We Have A Lot Of Space Sure so You Go Online You Start Trying to Leave Lease These Corian Take Cattle What They Want to Lease 100 up We Have Space for 100 Right so We Needed 5 to 10 Generally Be Whole Lot Easier If He Had the Hundred in That Same Space and I Was Going Fishing in Lake Geneva Was Starting Okay That Would Get Really Complicated in a Hurry Bill out Would Be A Lot Of Moving Parts Anyway since We Figured out That You Know There's a Market for This Bird You Know the Small Group of Cattle so My Idea Was on My Little Place to Raise Five and There's All These You Always Have Five Babies on the Ground That Would Mature and and Be Able to Be Leased out to Somebody's Facility and You Drive up down 380 You Know You're from Decatur You Know What I'm, There's All These Little Farm and Ranch Is There and A Lot Of Them Have Team (so That If You and and and Their Alts Smarter Not Hundreds of Acres Right There There 8 to 10 so Not A Lot Of Space to Keep a Bunch of Cattle so That Was My Idea so I Got And Just like Everything Else I Get Myself into a Little More Complicated Than What I Thought You Know It's A Lot Going on This for like I Think Is My Fourth Year and Raising the Yeah Yeah so I Started out with Two Mama Cows in My Idea Was to Breed Him and Then Turn out Babies Will Eat You Can Only There You Can Only Keep Him Permanently If Their Female Right Because That's the Only Way to Make More Cows Right Is to Have Female so If You Have Males That Doesn't Grow Your Herd You Know What I Mean You Can't Bring Them Back to Each Other and I Can't Think so It It's Been an Endeavor Right so Were in the Were in the Process but Yeah That's Another Aspect of the Hobby I Guess You Have like a Career in the Dating Apps with the Yeah Yeah What Side of the Body Corian Table down the Road so You Know Every Every Winter I Take Him on a Date Hello Demo Gals in the Trailer We Take One or On a Day over in My Buddy's Place Even for Them Swipe Right around and Only One so That They Are A Lot Of Choice on a on a Quick Side Note We Talked about This before That When You Have Too Many Choices There Is a Psychologist That Did a Site Psychological Study Were People Who Chooses Many Types of Jams That They Wanted and Had like 40 Different Kinds but You Could Bring Her Back Didn't like It or They Could Choose between like Three And He Showed That the People Had More Choices Were Less Happy with Their Choice or with Their Decision and the Other Ones Didn't That's Exactly What I Think Data Gaps Are I Think You Should Download an App and You Go One of Two Choices That Are You This Guy like That You Pick It and I Think People Would Be Happier Person I Don't Have Any Experience with It so That All I Not One Time Have I Ever Had It I've Always Had You Insane the Natural Old-Fashioned Way Right so I Don't Even Know What This Means This Online Anything I Don't I Don't Get It Never Participated in Also You like Me Look like like the Old Way like like OkCupid Original Apps like I See You Are and You Always Are I Say Something Funny You Know and Then We Dance and Then We Have a Beer and That's It L Next Week and We Go to a Movie like a Real Relationship But I Guess This Is a Real Thing Will Go My Point Is How Unhappy People Are And I Think That Deserves That Foam Well There's Always a Sphere of Zero Something More to Be like You Could Choose You Driving down the Elders Bolted Usually with That Will Make Better You Know Kids with This Was the Swear That That's an Interesting Concept What If If Back before Social Media If People Think of Everything You Give up to Put Your Profile on a Dating App May Not Only Do You Have How You Aesthetically Look but You Begin to Say Your Name or Your First Name out I Assume Sometimes I Do They Ever Ask If You Giggle the Deeper What Your Occupation Is WikiLeaks Which Hobbies Are but If You Just Had to Wear Shirt Just Said Your Name And Then Your Hobbies Where You're from And like What What Area You Live in and Then You Are in a Bar and Then You Begin to Weed out People before You Ever Got to Know Them Just Based on What Their Hobbies Were Never Printed on Their Shirt They Would Bay It Would've Made Things Just a Dating Shirt When You Compare the Hobbies of Everybody and There Probably Not Be Satisfied with the Fact That You May Not Find Somebody like Team Roping And It Just Because It Wasn't Listed on There so the Promo Comes from Looking at All This and I'm Not Seeing My Hundred Percent Match Here If You Have These Small Biographical Details but They've Done I Mean There's a Whole Lot of Evidence We Are Not Becoming Happier As a Society Affect Depression Is This Huge Which Is Why Think Things like Sulci but I Can Make a Big Difference Probably All These Drugs and Everything Probably Just Putting the Phone down for a Little Bit Is a Great Way to To Reconnect and Reset Which Is What I like about What You Do Is Your Hobby You Your with Nature Your Beer Interacting That's Awesome Well in That You Know the Contrast Is My 11-year-old Son Just Turned 12 He's 12 Years Old Now but Now He Is So Not Interested in That Aspect of My Life and When I Was Growing up What a Kid Because I Didn't Have It You Know What I Mean I Ate Was All Indirect It Was Adjacent to Me Was the Influence Was All for My Mom Side of the Family But It Was Everybody a Kind Move past It so I You Know When I Got into It I Can I Got into It on My Own so I Would've Loved My Dad to Be Involved in Something like That and My Son He's a Baseball Player This Thing This Is Not but He'll Pick up the Phone All Day No Enemy Ill Be on That PlayStation but You Know That's It's Just Completely Different from When My Experience When I Was Growing up Totally Can You Explain Exactly Were Saying Team Roping You Know I've Never Watched It I Don't Know Just Tell Me What You Do Okay so I'm on That I'm on the Head Side Right so It Set up This Away There's A Shoot in the Middle Where the Callous Deployed Right in on Either Side I Shoot There's a Box so the Cows Deploy to Get a Head Start Right and Then It's Basically a Horse Race Right so the Guy on One Side Is Responsible for Roping the Horns the Other Guys Responsible on the Other Side for Coming behind and Roping the Feet And Then yet You Dally off Your Saddle Horn and Kinda Stretched Tight for a Split Second They Drop a Flag Not Your Time so It's a Time to Vent Animals and Hurt Not at All Not at All Not All Yeah so There's A Lot Of Controversy Sir Surrounding What They Call Tiedown Roping Where They Use Sprite with a Flip Them over so There's a There's A Lot Of Controversy and Not Just the Way It It Looks I Think Team Roping Is A Lot Less Shocking but You Know That the Bottom Line Is Is That There's All Kinds of of Regulation and That Kind of Thing to Make Sure That That That the Animals Are Taken Care Of and I'm Telling You This Those Horses I Would If I Could Come Back Is on My Want to Be High and Horse Absorbed a Performance Horse of Some Nobody Lives Better Than I Did Have a I Had a Friends Family That They Bread over the Cold Cut Horses Big Big Big Money

like episode like Joe Rogan episode number 2068 they still let us back on 2068 means only have 2065 the ghetto Jordan close we are getting closer so thank you again for joining us that the feedback is that once awesome it's a it's impressive I had no idea it this many people in such a short amount of time and want to hear what we had to say about bridging the gap between health and nine natural and medical science absolutely I love it we've been as we get to hear shortly is a big message by a bunch of people and had a lot of friends from you know all over the United States contact us and say hey that was that was interesting is recovering some cool stuff special last week with Sean Brian's on if you did not check it out please deep dive into CBD and a little bit into the cannabis industry but really cool such a deep dive that the material was so informative that YouTube of course allowed us to keep spreading the message but Facebook will hold our our recording down for little while we had replaced it with YouTube so I guess if you want to know the truth then sometimes I suppose, slow down a little bit about the debts and we covered those topics like they obviously did that because of the particular topic that were time as we are all about the science of it where showing everything that's working to do really continue to do this and today what could we have our show today we are going to be joined by Chef Patrick Mosher now if you listen to the spoony network already chef Patrick Mosher is already somebody they are quite familiar with however get experience from all different aspects of cooking for gigantic hotels being a part owner of some large chains and putting together the food items ever essentially he's he knows how to build food and how to make something out of his message is you are what you eat my messages all health begins and ends in the gut this is why teaming up with chefs and getting out those can be supercool thrilled to have him is actually the producer of our show so this is going to be any reason to tune in to be that were to move him over here and easier to be a guest so we had to on the fly he had to on-the-fly teach Eric's wife Marie to run the to the production desk over there so if anything let's just stay tuned for that because as a camera isn't where it's supposed to be don't be mad at her doing what she did she just learn how to do it two seconds ago hey you can't blame her for me setting the camera incorrectly can't blame her yelling at the right way that are really fun though regardless speaking of let's get caught up on our on our recent week weekends anything big happened with with you and your families last week it's pretty chill something conical I just mentioned a little bit about how people been messaging us now remember we are the gut check project I phrases check your ego at the door everything is on the table and somebody had messaged me on Instagram and asked why do we what was to get your project Y check your ego at the door and only last week was actually my birthday on our show and I I read a book written by Ryan Holliday called the daily Stoic all this is a fun little way to start your day by those every single day he takes a lesson from a Stoic philosopher McKenna dumbs it down and gets it through okay so March 14 was one that I had I thought it was way too coincidental that somebody message me for this and this was the actual thing so bear with me while I explain this but it makes total sense to me and this is the kind of stuff I start my day with so the quote is from DRG this layer to this Zeno would also say that nothing is more hostile to a firm grasp on knowledge than self-deception so what I like about it Reinhold he then breaks it down basically says self-deception delusions of grandeur these aren't just annoying personality traits ego is more than just offputting and obnoxious instead it is the sworn enemy of our ability to learn and grow as Epictetus said it it is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows today we will be unable to improve unable to learn unable to earn the respect of others if we think were already perfect and a genius admitting it so that was the philosophy that you and I have ordered set up the show it's got check project check your ego at the door sitdown and let's learn from each other let's teach each other and that's why we have a chef on today is regularly about food right we deftly learn little about food you well it's good question so I speaking to my wife who is going to work in Camas today for a show thank you Marie this this last weekend we spent our time with my boys putting down a new floor on the chicken coop so alive has had experience in the past we've had her own chickens and we harvest on eggs is the best tasting as you can possibly imagine but if you like spending around 72 $73 and egg get yourself some chicken because it's awesome they taste terrific buddy on the great that reminds me because I do believe that you guys tried some beekeeping at one time you and I put together what we've taken care of carob some patients which I'm sure that be okay with me saying that that they were beekeepers so there was a Dr. Robert Bender was a gynecologist in town unfortunately died of cancer but it was the funniest thing having lunch with him and he thought about how him and his wife decide to get into making honey results fantastic to goes I'm a gynecologist I know how to deal with women I sent you will treat one queen really good and I get all this honey and were selling this honey its local natural honey it's $7.60 a bottle only cost me 28 per bottle exactly what you say and I love that guide I love the quote unfortunately always best on book I like it when people take risks like that kind of owner will completely own it, check your ego at the door to tell you that were having fun doing it were not making money the farm fresh eggs taste great we just got to get to the point where we don't have our dogs take chicken that's others to hate the originals you mentioned a book and some is really cool/we even reading this book from Isabella Wentz ideas yes you and I both receive this fantastic book Isabella Wentz is an amazing PhD once you haveso can I fortunately meant to admit Isabel and her husband's a year and 1/2 ago when were working in San Diego and she was diagnosed Hashimoto's and dad she then asked she was diagnosed with Hashimoto she went on to change her diet laminate some of her triggers trigger foods like gluten and dairy containing foods and then began to find that she could eliminate out that inflammation and put herself on a road to recovery it's not any different than what you wrote out what you have the Stoics book the reason was to get to project what dad Dr. RI what does chef Patrick's going to join us and talk about how you can control how you feel with great food it's no different so thank you very much Isabella for Isabella and your husband's name but will find that out and thanks so much for sending us the book W read this to recommend it to my patients you done an amazing job oh yeah Hashimoto's food pharmacology food pharmacology comes with a full meal plan at the very back with all the way down to what exactly what to buy inmates like any other recipe book but it's it's high quality tell you why why you're doing what you're doing not just eat this for here's what will do will all of them will all read come back into her like a sort of synopsis of the book once again as well thank you so much for doing that supersmart woman love talking to her when we were in San Diego with my insurer meeting that was awesome definitely absolutely season quick catch up for listening here on spoony don't forget if you want to drop by and pick up some love my tummy.com/spoony for your own are trying to heal you get a discount for using spinning is the discount code as well as check out KB MD health get your brand-new KB MD CBD in our new store so if any of you have ever read Isabella Wentz's books or if you enjoy the show at all we are all transported to other this is a rising tide will lift all ships one way to do that is to actually go to these websites purchase a product and use those codes so that everyone is trying to help each other out we want to make sure that Chef Patrick has a successful show and his network grows in the spoony radio digital platform becomes massive and one way to do it is definitely going on and supporting our sponsors without question without question will get moving here when our first half-hour and dad, the format is that we touch on health matters as they come through KB MD health was to talk about here the gut check project so can want you tell us a little bit about what is on your mind healthwise today so one of the things I mean I'm a complete nerd so you want to geek out at some point in the show and I was thinking of the articles I but I basically spent my nose in journals all day long and starts trying figure stuff out but then I came across this really cool article about the science of food and it just falls perfectly into this Hashimoto's food pharmacology and were to have Chef Patrick on here so no food is fascinating why do we like it does so many things you've got texture you've got smell you taste the consistency of it there is a whole science cold food pairing Scientology porcine science science and science technology and technology articles food pairing technology Where you look at this and you can actually manipulate which we like for instance one of the examples were the more simple examples would be like when you eat really fatty meal ribeye right will the lubrication that happens on your tongue if you do too much of it you can balance that out with an astringent thing that actually binds to proteins and gets rid of that slimy field okay so it's the balance you don't want too much of anything guess what is very stringent read one that's how come red wine pairs so well with a good adding ribeye has and an actor just get that to go away so I started going down this route a whole family's articles and I'm sure that this is second nature to the chefs out there and the other golf course that is but this work is really fun as it turns out only 20% of your taste is actually happening on your tongue okay 80% is the aroma and it's the aroma the terms on everything else so the we perceive the aromas because they interact with our olfactory nerves so as it turns out these different aromas do different things and you can augment them we talked about the entourage effect last week you can actually have an entourage effect when it comes to food by pairing certain foods that have chemically similar aroma molecules okay so in and before you do for my taking a sip of this be similar you said that you would use an astringent to basically cleanse your mouth it's really probably no different than using I'm guessing Ginger whenever you're about to eat sushi so the ginger works like that exactly so as it turns out like for instance did you know that like white chocolate and caviar go very well together did not it's wild because when you put it through when you take these foods and what the scientists are doing is they're taking the foods and they're putting it into a gas chromatograph okay and what that is is that is something that actually shows the molecular weight you can go out here despite your spike these two foods share similar spikes as it turns out white chocolate and caviar share similar spikes in that molecule is trimethyl Ammon Miriam smells like fish sure does in fact there's a disease on the side note: try methyl or I'm sorry it's try meth alanine is the molecule trimethyl and manure is one that I'm familiar with is I've actually had patients come to me and like it's weird when I eat certain foods people can't be around me there like you have a weird odor that's called trimethyl Avenue area and it's that molecule which is trimethyl M and trimethyl amine certain people have a genetic predisposition with the Caprica and I looked at them going to do anybody receipts in a like for like yeah and Mike got in all we do is change your diet problems gone yet so I could you start looking at some of the stuff in the science behind it is so cool when you're looking at the interactions what can happen is that you can have similar molecules that paying your olfactory nerve to go to your brain and go oh that's this and then if another food pairing pink that same one a little bit a little more little less so on then it heightens the first one so you can build your recipes and food off of the molecular structure and beyond the whole tongue thing you know the sweet salt bitter sour mommy the new one the earthy flavor of this is the way to really take your food to the next level and much of what chefs have probably learned Michelin star rated shaft is there already doing it without realizing that it could be based on the science of this church so for instance like a large portion of a strawberry actually has cheesy molecules really so you can sit there and pair strawberries with a certain cheese and it will augment each other the they will build each other up so really fun I never would've thought about this checking my ego at the door I start going down food science because we got a chef on the show today and then this opened up the whole thing right on the UK website now just real quick it would just be any kind she's surely has to be you would make strawberry nachos I'm just saying I can a case on top of the pile strawberries no no it has to be certain she's with similar molecules okay that have this yet and so you can go to food pairing.com and my kids are having some fun with this today where you can create a recipe so I so I looked out to Chef Patrick give me a protein anything you want give me some food product or to build a recipe offer right now live let's go with duck duck so this done whereas I specifically duck breast reason to start with this not a malady yeah okay would you like to be wild yes okay wild now will begin to do is somebody has put a duck breast into a gas chromatograph and they have figured out how to actually pay the so now foods that are similar or foods that have a molecular component that is similar include all kinds of different stuff but basically here we go I think that you should pair this with as it turns out Remi Martin cognac that's why he had his first thinking online CLE source any serious interest in their honor will find out right here what we put a citrus solicitors one day before he answers Patrick what kind of citrus would you would you already kind of will intuitively think it will because he thinks something is sweet yet astringent like can I do colorize right so you have this rich duck in and it's not just a fat ass again okay accommodation all the flavors some curious if if the classic pairing in particular is one that comes up one would match okay and also so fun about this is that now or build it so I an interesting fruit that you showed up as persimmon oh so will add that one so now it's happenings were build missile recipes so you can decide how you do this so we have the ability now to realize okay why do certain foods taste good so my son Lucas and I were talking others were having fun today looking at this and he goes wait a minute is this a way to prepare foods so that the healthier foods will seem like they taste better take so like I want to put tail and do something else with that and I'm a parent with something that'll augment the cheesy flavor of something else use less of that more of the tail they help each other out like this facet of never ever ever heard of using food pairings through molecular studies to possibly trick your brain into liking the food more making healthy food more appetizing making healthy food more appetizing as well yeah interesting yeah so just come and follow things left my nerdy clip of the of the of the show youngest and hours on there now you just ruined her life anyway though I am so what you can do is you can actually Savior food parents and my kids were doing this also and my daughter Carla built a 40 or 50 when we look at it here she started with C Urchin okay branched out and we've got all kinds of stuff see urgent tied to cow mozzarella which eventually takes us to buckwheat and you can just see how much fun this could be were you could do this and it's it's based off the realm of what I loved about what Lucas said was let's make healthy food tastier sure and do it like this sure a lot of chefs probably know this but this is a way to actually use this as this is the style that I would do when I have the Hashimoto's food pharmacology going on to make it taste a little better as a way to do nano kid let's answer bets and brilliant tool that I had never been exposed to Alec some of the idea that foods could make you smell all the different onions for instance I may not love onions but if not grilled in your eating fresh onions it's MS your partner is also eating onions it sets, no go right you and I had a discussion on and I wanted to rail us off of of building that the foods to make them taste better but wasn't that long ago you and I had a discussion about what asparagus does to urine and you said that somebody was doing a test whenever I believe you are in med school that they were basically trying to figure out how fast somebody could rapidly make the the year and change its odor from consuming disparaging of that conversation is absolutely so back in the day this during my fellowship Dr. Wessler was the was a pioneering guesser elegy he's the guy that figured out that there is such a thing as lactose intolerance and we say that like it's nothing but somebody had to figure out that there's an enzyme called lactase and so he was as it as a scientist and document it was kind of fun because he would give us a lecture every year and the fantastic guy is in his 70s just kinda having fun with us each a part-time no part-time lecturer and it would be the same lectures would be lovely pictures from like the 70s it's awesome he made everybody eat a bowl of asparagus and then they had to go P and never really had the time when they could spell when they could smell the asparagus is because that was his absorption study which are not only do away with that now ribs like you ever eat this brilliant. We started smelling yeah yeah the take away whenever you were doing that they were stressing how quickly it happened to break down the food I was really quickly in these molecules that do this – get in your bloodstream and get filtered through your and some of them remarkably quick so what do we handle distribute on about onions when people take Allison which is a garlic extract that they will actually use the garlic out of their breath out of everything because it just gets absorbed so much and that's one of the issues that my patients will have in the company will be taking supplements be like something's wrong Mark are you and Allison like yeah Mike I could smell it from here well if you happen to watch the gut check project and you want us to have the ability to tackle a new subject the best thing to do is go to KB MD health.com escaping the health.com go to the gut check project show you'll find that there is the ability to connect with us and submit something he wants to tackle that's really how we the last two weeks we stumble across what we've always come across to talk about we cover so much ground he only would it be really cool we were talking last week about bringing Dr. Blair on Col. Blair onward and talk about TBI right now imagine doing the product light on the hospital's trauma hospital we have a food protocol for traumatic brain injury we don't have CBD protocol with DHEA or any that stuff when the beat amazing week ago were going to be a brain information diet your to be on the supplements and this is the protocols can happen that's the goal of this whole thing is to bring science and I mean a whole separate show would be talking about so fewer of thing which is a molecule and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli was it turns out it's really really good for you it's anticancer it's anti-inflammatory but when you cook it the enzyme can't break it down called the Rawson Ace and so like a little hack would be a chef we can sit there and say no were to put some of mustard seed powder on it and then it will actually convert it so you just made your broccoli or broccoli sprouts way healthier sure so if you ever get diagnosed with cancer and there's all these crazy studies about like bladder cancer and stuff like that when you do that like I would love to have a protocol food protocol what you're gonna do the Hashimoto's food protocols right there working have a food protocol if you get this venture headed that way no joke on the Chrysippus vegetables they come with them basically so you're blocking the estrogen correct correct yeah not separate magical inane speaking of preservice vegetables B cauliflower just last night my wife and I went to go eat pizza awesome pizzeria and actually make gluten-free pizza the crust was made out of cauliflower it's amazing what they're doing cauliflower now because it taste like great bread and is not read it all basically having a great Chris Arafat's vegetable while you're eating a delicious pizza and were hoping that in spray glyphosate on it so that it's a good skill LOL yeah non-GMO vegetable crust they taste just like regular bread is real know I love all of those cauliflower crust so it is delicious so we've got about half a minute here before she attaches going to join us in the next half hour just a quick reminder if you are watching spinning network EA know if you haven't you

myth the legend Chef Patrick Mosher hey don't you know that's that's quite an intro not sure I can live up to you lots not bad for sending DUI if you live in an Iraq chef Patrick does a lot of everything is chef obviously he also produces many the programs here on spoon radio he drives fast he texts and drives he doesn't sleep he likes his smile he likes to laugh Emily now I only text voice text almost and I just use a series command so if it comes in a garbled and funny blame Siri yeah well I just made it up at any another string I like you I drive lightning I got around on the weekends between here and there for work in any other time off I have so like the real work so doctors are unique persons are they have unique personalities I chefs are I think they take the cake and fruit upon the intended I've met a lot of chefs and a lot of sepsis patients and I am just fascinated by that lifestyle that you don't thank you so much for coming on we talked earlier about how Isabella went send us her book and last hour talk about how food is you are what you eat all health begins and ends in the gut and here we are we've got a chef with some serious experience you have you have done a lot if you think you and I worked at been fortunate to work all over the world I asked you can start my culinary career in Japan well as I started my culinary career career in a Sizzler steakhouse when I was like 14 what what kind scissors Western Sizzler is yearly wishes Sizzler stay cast so Sizzler was a pretty big Chad pretty chain back in the 80s and early 90s her hand so I would see I was the busboy dishwasher at the scissor state has until Thursday night came around I got Says that as a dishwasher busboy and apparently on Thursdays there is all you keep popcorn shrimp so the kitchen as he was like okay cool I'll cook so I was Sam's bussing outback that he can put 10 piece shrimp on any given play because it's all you can eat right there Arizona State football team and command after he simply teachers that your back in your ear like helping other iron in their back there, laughing at you because they get your percentage of your tips not only do the hardest job is to clean the fire at the end of the night but they get your money it only took me at six weeks to figure that out here and I was like man I'm the dumbest guy in the planet and and shrimp everywhere feared you yeah you know what's it's interesting that my first job in the kitchen sent me home smelling like seafood because leaders are progressing to see Sheehan seafood specifically every night was like a gate getting came to bed before he took a shower because your sheets are just a mistake in his previous but it is what is your family was your family a frequenter of the Sizzler growing up yes we reduces her in Omaha Nebraska so the salad bar limits telephone the logic of that was just going there my favorite item there as a kid was that not any part of the salad that the canned chocolate pudding for whatever reason quite nutritious goes right alongside the square chicken fried steak so this is what I love me with with your culinary chops that has gone all the way to Japan to learn this is where you start is frying shrimp and it says look I lasted about two weeks at McDonald's for that but I don't really count that right now I have nobody ever does now I was acquitted sure what I should do to food my father had a large garden but we lived in upstate New York and the town of Carinthia Corinth if you live there it's near Saratoga Springs Albany that area coming in the middle of steak and damn mind my dad's entire family all of his siblings except one brother lived it within a mile of each other on the same road and my grandfather owns a few sections of land on either side he had a dairy farm and then a large vegetable garden and my father attended at least an acre garden every year so we spent summers as I was like three on the pic means you're picking beans and snapping beans and helping mom put stuff in jar so she could cannon like a cat I am not sure I tell my first culinary job as a real job in the family right up your alley just doesn't work out well my grandfather's letter to cattle every winter and then we split the meat up but amongst the family charities usually did two more later but early in the winter the first big heavy snowfall made at and C have to string them the absolute peace how you gently say you killed him he just killed the bank and then… Our first episode we are to explain my background were Eric would go with his dad to register you and I would go to the slaughter house and my dad was a running neck and since that's what you're saying that let me know know it's not actually it's more like the ad that gasped AGI part O… Depart this maybe maybe maybe I missed my calling but before they can ask to get the animal there something has to be done so they hang it up upside down you have to climb up a ladder and you have to I was five years old when I was taught this my first time you to cut around the muscle up around of the maintenance and yet the tide because if you don't when the stomach elongates it's a geyser oh comes at the back is so that was my first real job for the family in slaughtering B was I got to climb the ladder and hi Taft about who I now I am I much rather have a mean as more or less permanent constipation makes total sense what you were drawing you like him to know where you already you know why writing for lent for several years plus the cost so after you had the exposure to the dairy farm and all the vegetables then that obviously is setting a foundation for you to get into food you probably had no idea that's where your leaning but i know i did and i really my mother was a great cut my father was a good cook a very good cook and her whole family every every that revolved around food okay so as i got my father died very young i was six years old he died to great cancer at 47 while yes and dad back then there was no really no treatment by the time they figured out why you had back pain is been much over and anyway so but i spent a lot of time when my mother cooking after that – i just i just picked up i really love food i did i i was fortunate enough to move to germany my senior year in high school and the family that that that i lived with that hosted me was very generous in that we had to get other countries in and dine on some fantastic food and food as a way of life for them and in germany is where i learned about minimalism in the covered you know because they have dorm style refrigerators don't have baked refrigerators are slightly larger than little boxes you have in your dormitory in the shop every day every single day at least once a day to shop as it was for your bracket was delivered in the morning fresh while that's pretty interesting. it was awesome so i just a side note growing up and watching my grandmother cook my dad's mom she was she was fantastic i loved her fried chicken as she fried a lot of stuff but for some reason back then she still remained skinny but she and i don't know if your mom or your dad was like this my grandmother could flavor anything to taste terrific fried chicken chicken fried steak vegetables etc. but one of her trademarks was to always cook with a cigarette hanging out of her lip that was flavored building with burn ashes in there as well as i think that she saved all the different kinds of meats that she brought in the oil and in different folders cans fish oil and that chicken grease etc. is it something that you also did not say new york yeah you don't weld eventually i think had a different flavor and if it will will start thereby produce because we have burn pile of year trees that would fall with a lot of property and we burn on the actual garden so what would and might my father would rotate back and forth into plots so each season the previous year's burn pile become the new garden in city dias content right the potash well – content was really high so a lot of minerals and i mean it's it's amazing how healthy the vegetables are when you do that you people used to take the ashes from the fireplace and put them into the burn pile into their compost deep sure we don't anymore but that is not right there was just fantastic for the flavor and the freshness of vegetables but my money as she skewed everything okay you accept what you call it swiss steak was boiled whatever lien beef steak she could buy it was the cheapest cut with a bone in it and smothered in them tomatoes and garlic and then she broil that the oven it was actually pretty good – he sounds delicious compared to what were some of the first part of the show what i'm thinking is that you know smoking has a lot of it is a carcinogen known as benzene but we should do is see the chemical structure similar to benzene to add that good childhood flavor that you're missing the smoke when without getting the cancer yeah yeah probably so he can get you can put winston cigarettes into the mass spectra shouldn't even pops out to charge me figure out figure out what fruit or vegetable has a similar molecular component near benzene time answer i'm interested that i'm really curious about that this is a fascinating science for me and i'm thinking i could just as i could change my restaurant consulting business to just be menu consulting based on this and take the elevator TOoh yeah absolutely this is the kind of stuff and we wouldn't be talking about if we were preparing for the show i was just i was just a deal try to think of okay what's a really cool thing we talk about i have to sciences up i like it i'm a nerd and i'll probably try do this with every single topic that we do find something that yes really fun oh terrible that would be really cool so you're sitting there sobbing for your dispose of this great organic before organic was cool you guys had a mechanically warm touch poor poor alright so what happened after that we moved arizona which was a whole different thing i learned about spicy spicy foods right my first meal out in every week and eat out a lot as a child very rarely maybe once or twice a year at the most we went to this little mexican restaurant between chandler and gilbert arizona which are now massive towns that have grown together but then they were just very small towns and that limit its cost is something this little mexican place and i had a chimichanga's mother eating spicy green chili salsa and i went ballistic it was it was done i was never anything but eat tasty food again and and and and not healthy necessarily but flavorful food and that that cannabis bondholder you and you live down there is i guess i was in sixth grade summer and allowing a nice set of a few years so then you you progress through graduate and then you end up oil before you graduate you worked the sizzler and then how did you decide that food beyond being told they arraigned a danger going to do popcorn shrimp something you want to pursue and deliver to people to make him happy what i had few other jobs cooking after that but what i realized is that no matter how how cash strapped your family might be there is always food in the restaurant and she works there used to get some of it for free sure so i think that was it i think mentally i determined never be hungry again right and i just parlayed into into a career but i really and start cooking full-time jobs in japan is working as an interpreter such working as a copywriter start get some interpret good job in japan like writer i did for chemical trans tech international they were a check technical translation company the parents of a friend of mine had come to united states to go to school in eighth grade and stayed all the way through high school they owned and ran the company in osaka japan and he invited me to come and work for them after while i was acting in college time well so i heard you speak german and you also speak japanese type hello, so wow so this is fascinating so chefs or super intelligent people that know i'm serious. many of my friends are chefs or people of extremes share the nar that is fascinating you speak japanese german english to work and back doing appetizer version and it was as fascinating i love you and japanese chefs are so meticulous they have the waiting approach for japan and she had a proverb that defines through japan and it's it's it's that the only the audience at is actually it's it's not just food it's the food it is the substance of the universe right so their philosophy is let it let little seem like much as long as it is fresh and beautiful let little seem like much, as long as it is fresh and beautiful so small portions very ornate and well garnished very clean and seasonal seasonal is the key word there and typically local all just too far ahead but i do remember one of our previous conversations you did say that you were with the noble as well greg i did work for number for number years i actually i was the executive chef and that helped open a restaurant in aspen last month he said that's his last name and then i was fortunate similar location so in a minute i'll imagine all those principles that you're talking about probably carried over to the live presentation the food yeah you know honeywell there's a whole another layer there and he he lived and worked in peru for a long time and he was fascinated by french cooking techniques so he took these japanese base ingredients added the layer of the like infuse the flavors of's of peru and chile and then to add that to another level by using french cooking techniques and just phenomenal stuff while yelling at ocean would say there so my family were huge asian cuisine fans all of it our favorite restaurant is actually japanese restaurant in plano we go there at least once a week really i mean you can send him a plug – or llama iam a check now yeah we have the it's just unbelievable it's it's it's it's good and sensitive i think is very very traditional japanese food had told me our waitress is always our waitress so we just sit around and through to start showing up that's what i love the methodical just this is what's happening it is predictable it is well and it's thoughtful thoughtful yes so it here's a really interesting cultural thing from japan is a great book called mino because with some the dip the anatomy of interdependency okay okay describes her whole culture one of things in japan and when you start a sentence they finish it for you like ice to teach for this guy jenna ricci he had two small children i spoke in my itouch spoken english i taught them english and japanese speaking is my second day speaking with so gimme a break he would call in and he would say i think you and i say yes he is jonah lychee desiccated and will mean this is generally key and he just stopped and i'm supposed to finish since you must be calling about but i wish i didn't know that right some just like okay hi i just wait for him to say something but eventually you learn it's like him japanese interject a lot they say hi a so they stay in there what they're doing is they might say yes oh is not so there interjecting to let you know there listening actively listening even if they say something in agreement it does mean they agree okay i mean yeah but anyway back to the point i was making is when somebody hurts a guest and some house for the first time in you they say would you like some coffee and you say yes they don't ask you how you want to and they don't bring you the things to put cream and sugar in it they automatically put in cream and sugar because the first time as a guest in their house you should not have to think about how you want your coffee served from then on you can just make your own but the date alleviate the pressure from you even if he didn't want it that way and you accept it graciously because that's the generosity they're getting you to relieve you of the pressure of having to say would you please fix it this way oh wow cool yeah there's so many layers of complexity to japan's culture that's all that's a month that well that's a whole series of shows for next year while even a chef for a long time what would be something that in the year in the realm of being a master chef going from the being taught japanese in the office it was some french i carryover what what take your take you to your favorite style of the play setting now i thinks my love simplicity and food such il might my mother she stupid a lot of things but were really great fresh ingredients if it wasn't steered my father was a big fisher and fishman and hunter and so we had a lot of wild game he had we always had a ton of venison backstrap a lot of rabbits a lot of fish so everything is very simple when we went camping my father did take stuff for dinner he would hunted or efficient while a fish will also describe the pressure then a joke yeah yeah tv show now yesterday i really afraid survive as their grills at this time you shop for breakfast but you a loser it was very simple food so you take out lemons potatoes salt pepper and onion and so if if you cut trout then he to be slice of the potato and onion stuff inside with a couple of wedges lemon slices lemon salt-and-pepper and then wrap it will a pat of butter there wrapped up in tinfoil turn on the fire you know if there is other game to be had than it was you super simple or boiled potatoes and simple fixings and then salt-and-pepper on one of the game and so these really clean simple flavors for me i really would identify with any candidate that you can't really elevate that sure with a few adjustments but really being able to identify the main component like the center of the play item the protein if you can't taste what it's supposed to taste like i'm not sure what the point is sure will will today you just unit of joining us because you had just left a gigantic gathering that you are asked to basically help map out how do you know whenever you have so many mouths to feed that you know i'm going to be able to put together this coming plate to serve this this type of convention or do they give you parameters of what they do and don't want hello hello yeah so i'm to make so many development or menu yeah menu development or menu selection for any large parties very very critical because you have to think about if you have have multiple selections especially then what is the em what is the time to plate each item on a plated is his buffet mean all that comes into play i've done parties as large as 2100 people we get i work for a company in houston and we get a large plated dinner for the md anderson cancer research center answer hospital is so wheat we did 2100 people seated but the preparation for that took a week but nothing is really cooked until needed some things are made today before but not cooked until that day but all the proteins like all the tenderloins all the seabass so there are 1100 pieces seabass and 1400 piece of tenderloin while the kennels were hole we had to cut them i i had cut the measure but yeah that's that was we we all that gets cooked in ovens lined out inside of this big giant makeshift kitchen that's 20,000 ft.² and then we had 16 ovens in there like big commercial ovens do you feel like that your principles and how you wanted to live you want to deliver good health for people through the way that they eat that sometimes you get compromised because it gets so big yeah i mean hat so there are ways to dragon simplicity is number one pitcher and then limiting your your menu to items that fit your your desires and what you want to give to people and bring people in the hospitality industry you can't compromise that so only serving things that you may look for an alternate approaching so if they couldn't afford the that tenderloin we could do something like baseball saker you know tri-tip or something like that site to get a similar quality product just not as expensive i think that's that's part of the creativity that chefs have to work with nowadays is planning for and like an upcoming season we change menus to the four times a year restaurants so you're primarily doing this right now for your work also i do that yeah i mean ii will this is your this is my baby i want to get into that as this is how did you end up here doing a digital show but friend will talk about sorry love you so much anyway but the planning phase is really what it is yet to be very organized and there's a science to you know how many pieces everything you need what the portion sizes and what your standard batch size recipe see to scale that up although there can be complications or because salt doesn't scale directly other some other components like oil don't care they don't scale you know it's not exponential it's not like six times this equals that know if the scale somethings back and skipping some something so what i love about this is that you're talking zach the kind of leads into the first part of the show but this is how i cook i view it more as a science and i want to know what this and you're like i don't i didn't have a grandmother with a marble light in her mouth inside yeah so like now at the stage like i have a really i really enjoy quickbooks us all so excited that isabella went something cookbook i got bobby flay's cookbook which is that one on the quick side note is that the ill be like now add the sausage you like got it and then you turn to page 20 like that sauce is 50 and so there is a very famous book book called the the reese's gag gastronomy great and and there's another one by written by august escoffier who who really founded modern french cuisine right in the way that they cooking french kitchens and what happens it'll say like a cookie was a shock which is its sea scallops with marty athos or something right when he says cc the scalp recipe and it says okay now seat recipes 42 918 when you go to the buyer the year but is like 97 steps and then you have the mornay sauce is like when yeah whatever whatever size you are making is like 467 steps and you can't make it you can't story cold as beheld hot and fresh i mean it's just it's so complicated i was like okay that was go back on the shelf and maybe never adult ever dust the back off again i read it religiously 1000 cal you have a terrible cook and sometimes whenever i want to cook and i'm learning to tip these says certain things together if i see that there's a whole another mess of steps to make one ingredient i usually light which is not have any this it's it's changing out the menu the item is off the menu are going to do something well and that's part of the so i'll say on the show sometimes i don't i don't do show prep well i crept much better for life in restaurants than i do life on the radio sure and sometimes i get half with your essay like this make sense now that in the night so i spent a minute research demo i did next he read the recipe i just assume that this is what they meant because this is the type recipe so pre-reading the recipe knowing the ingredients in the methodology they're coming up are really important during the prep work will before we end up rounding out the last is our since you are one of the main producers for the spoony digital radio station we will get to why you ended up joining spoony

phobia about putting something phallic looking right up to your mouth and show a smile and wave smiling way to be okay :-) how these on an emory better nothing ice not well we left off this last half-hour basically talking about your journey on how to become a chef and where you been we learned that he spoke japanese and german hello the spanish and if he traveled and and it the age of five was able to close a cow: yes tied off time off dear: close to a man climbing up the oh my goodness that's like everything but the last half-hour makes me just feel bad about myself wanting you bring your homework for kindergarten and also to maybe climb the cow instead of a ladder knife in her hand and run around your neck you will tell us a little bit more about your journey now to rejoin here the next for some in the next half-hour you have moved into not just shiftwork but you've also been exploring cbd so i know you got a story behind it what in the world brought a chef is now on a digital radio station to explore cbd well just because he was my was my hero back in high school not really know because my my mother died in a diabetic appeared my father passed of pancreatic cancer and my mom died 01 and about that time i actually heard about that they discovered cbd and that was mid 80s i think when they discover that they were really starting to realize that while they made a big push medical cannabis was now legal in in california working on colorado and so i was just fascinated by that how that worked in the body i i don't like the psychotropic effects of of kinsey's audience is the antiaging specific because you know as a chef i always want to fill a coming control yeah that's that personality so i i really am i never really partook in it but when i found out about that that cds and how they affect the body i got became fascinated and so i just i got involved in a business that was related data in and i'm actually a partner in medical cannabis related business and in an tactic, and in massachusetts but we do a lot of really high cbd extremely low thc strains and stuff like that that's cool so my my experience the reason why i'm so into cds that you know i kinda had a heroes journey where i saw some incredible fact did you have anything like that happen yeah so i you and i think i cacti brushed over that little bit with my children but so my son and daughter have a i'm a 20 else on an essential daughter my son was 12 he kept having these ankle injuries playing soccer and he was trying to get into that a lick big development pool and kinda girl that way anyway so about the third time we took him in for ankle sprain in like six months we took him to specialist but i trust and she does i is really long high arches and his ankles are kinda rolled out he think he has cmt like cmt i don't cmts but so charcot-marie-tooth syndrome causes degradation of the neural pathways between and in the in extremity skin it causes type of neural what neuropathy peripheral neuropathy measure and what happens with that and that that the small muscles start to weaken the bone structure starts to deform so a lot of children or or adults with that with cmt will have like a limp wrist were that the wrist turns in and out a little that is truly painful it can be and will actually ache it can be painful but in this case you have to start to lose sensation so my son at 12 is about between 17 increased 18% deficient in the pass-through of you know the impulse from elbow to fingertips and needed toe okay so after testing their likely something that you can do just keep them strong become a fiscal therapy there's no treatment for its tenets genetic so over time my daughter started getting injuries and my son went off to a 2 am text dammit 18 and as as he was like a 18 a week i think his birthday just to curry start school and he was competitive tennis players i know you have a tennis person family and when a debtor where the antennas from the bottom that's right that's right that's right state championship anyway he was having ankle injuries there so when he came out of that that program the only thing i found i done thousands of hours of research looking for anything that could help them in the only true they say is stay strong be active don't get fat that's the three ways that you treat yourself boxers there's nothing else that they've known to to cause any actually to delay the effects of it if if if it is to progress further than staying strong and healthy and so he was very active but i found this this article the cds actually on that while website that i shared with you called echo connection.org and i did some reading i called some friends i talked to guy another dr. physician california anyway so i just i order my said look you take this twice a day and let see what happens and not only did his focus on his schoolwork away up and his grade started to get better six months let lesson six was later we took him to the texas anam research facility where they do studies on neck back and spine injuries but they also do some neural testing and things like neurological testing so first date they deliver the jet they did not look to the genetic marker on that wednesday we know he has it so what they did do a stated a more comprehensive testing on the neural pathways than he had originally the first two times and it was back to hundred percent so now before he was down he said 1718% he's probably got 25% by the time we took in it by the time he went at this time to be tested so i'm gonna kick that up and break something the results we got scolded for i now i do not migrate a hearing and i just want to be a rock star please not constant today this is my season recap though your son that the biggest change in imago simply does adding this evening i was the only change made the only change that was made in his diet and i was very very he's a very clean eater he actually started cooking his own food he was off his meal ticket at school and he saves on a very at enthusiastic weight training program that he designed himself and so but that was the only thing that changes diet and exercise regimen at all we will be look at this if you realize that charcot-marie-tooth syndrome affects the nerves and we know the cbd of the endo cannabinoid system is deeply rooted in the nerves then when that you start decreasing that inflammatory process and what i love is that you just said the key here is to changes.we know that food can be just like medicine and it can actually help out so here we have a college student it's on cbd and eating his own food not eating on diet plan that's amazing and he been well i mean an end at home he was a very clean eaters while he's like the one person the family does like desserts he won't eat cookie dough like anything with frosting on it very low sugar intake refined sugar like fruit didn't live on it measures none none that i'm aware of it i would like to ask a question he has them his hands and feet are always cold but he does have hair side of the follicles can't really thinking that you can go here with any without any ennui that i thought it might be circulatory service account because there's little knowledge syndrome 90 there were to get a little cold and you your it's an autoimmune it's component of autoimmune disease were your arteries sort of clampdown its interest is also a warning sign for autoimmune diseases top bring us more yeah and angry people all over the place have nods yet it's not uncommon you say it just kinda matter-of-fact all of a sudden you know she had 100% improvement there and you know it's one of those things where people hear the stories and you feel like you're being sold something but you say very genuinely it's like what's this thing that a difference in his life and that's why people are so passionate about cbd gasoline and like i have nothing to gain by telling so i don't not financially sure i'm not rr production facility is even open it were still the middle building it in our tech companies $14 million away from making money so if you want to join in the future of the industry go ahead but yeah there is that i just tell my story to share with people so what did you do when you did when whenever he told you how he felt and you knew that it was a real difference it wasn't it wasn't just subjective it was an objective improvement for him you mentioned his grade you mentioned his his mood is energy etc. so those are things as a parent i know that you would be able to easily perceive what did you want to do that information right off the bat and how did people receive it when you shared well immediately i started taking the product i started my daughter I and so because i want to know the effexor and audiology i for someone who is so well versed in the in the in the industry i don't take it on a regular basis i don't know why i have this it's just it just falls off the plate with so to speak when when i look at my daily supplementation but but so i put my daughter on it right away and then i went to a meeting with some people that were interested in cbd's there is a conference going on and i spoke i gave but i just told my sent store i told my story my son story from my perspective and then and i just type i have been an advocate ever since while we all have kids guessing your kids suffer from anything just well there's no way to ike i can't that's got me held that the greatest loss of for anyone ever is to lose a child but even when they're ill i mean or they don't feel w

The Prayers of the Victims have been heard and God is at work Psalm 34 PROJECT PENNSYLVANIA WWW.SIIUCRIMES.COM A Prayer for My Community (Written by a victim who is now a victor) Dear Father in Heaven, This morning my heart is heavy as I think about the atrocities of the past and present in my hometown of Belleville. I can’t imagine how You must feel, Jesus. I can’t imagine the pain and the aguish You must experience as You see the many, many little girls and boys being sexually victimized in the most horrible ways. I can’t imagine how much it angers You when the people who do these things are those who look good on the outside and claim to be Your children. I can’t imagine how You must feel when people who claim Your name turn their backs on such sin and crime, and refuse to bring such sin to the Light. O Jesus, sometimes I wonder: How can You let it go on? How long, O Lord? But then I remember that You are merciful to all. You desperately want those perpetrators to come to the end of themselves and fall at Your feet in true repentance for their sin. I forget sometimes that You are Sovereign. That You are Merciful. That You are in control of it all. And that someday, it will be made right. O Father, I pray for the victims. The innumerable little girls and boys. The teenagers who are being sold for sex. May you send the right people to guide them to You. May they know Your love. May they realize how much You care about them. May they find healing and rest in You. May they find protection from the enemy of their souls. May they make that hard decision to take responsibility for their response to the abuse. May they forgive and not become bitter. I pray that You would raise them up and that someday their pain would be used to help other little boys and girls. I pray for the parents and church leaders of the victims. I pray that You would raise up people who would realize the implications of abuse and how it destroys a person. I pray that You would give them wisdom in relating to these broken children and youth. I pray that if they have been abused themselves and have fought help, that they would be willing to work through their own pain. I pray that You would break the chains of generational sexual abuse in my hometown and the surrounding communities. I pray that there could be freedom and healing and that it would come only from You. And lastly, Jesus, I pray for the perpetrators. I pray that they would come to the end of themselves. I pray that it would happen in this life and not in the next. I pray for their souls. I pray that you would have mercy on them. I pray that their evil deeds would be exposed NOW and not at the judgment day. O Jesus, have mercy, please. They need You just as I need You. O God, please send the right people their way to take them by the hand and lead them to you. I pray for repentance and restoration for them. I pray for a godly sorrow that would lead to repentance. I know You care, Jesus. And I thank you so much that You are working behind the scenes. Thank you Father. Amen The SIIU Core Team believes God is moving to locate and heal the abused and give them a voice We also believe God is at work to bring down the perpetrators and remove those who knew but did nothing! Join in and pray, download this prayer and pass it along and post it everywhere….God is moving for sure Psalm 34

Archives Listen to the Prayer Audio: Heavenly Father, First of all we cover this call with Your Sacred anointing to make us safe from the enemy and all of his schemes to stop or distract us from being in Your Presence and to keep us from hearing Your Heart and keep us from fulfilling Your Commands for us Your Kingdom Army.  Let chaos, resistance, confusion and unrest stay in his camp and that we be in Peace, Harmony and Unity of spirit in these moments with You!           We come to You with humble contrite hearts before Your Throne so that Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done here in America and in the nations of the earth as it is in Your Heaven now and forever. Amen. That You rule supreme over the hearts of all men!           Today, Father we are here to intercede for the land of Israel and its people that the Light of Yeshua, the Christ be spread across the land and that all men recognized how sacred this land is for the Blood of Your Son has been shed there and He graced this land with His Presence and showed us what real love is and how we can live in Peace and Harmony with one another if only we believe and die to ourselves take up our cross and follow Him!  May all the people of Israel, those who have returned to its land as the prophets of old have declared that they will be returned.  That it has become a nation in spite of all the evil forces that try to destroy it even to this day.  That Your Plan is being fulfilled as Your Word declares it and Your prophets of our day like Kim Clement, Mark Taylor and others have said Israel is forever and America will stand with Israel and we will be blessed for doing so!           First of all Father we seek forgiveness for any form of defilement that is in us in regards to hate or despisement  or resentment or resistance toward Your People whom we call Jews be broken off of us.  Lord, forgive us for the long history we as Your followers of Yeshua have had in our generational background or in our blood lines! That even those we have honored as saints, leaders, teachers, instructors and those having authority in our assemblies/churches have written and taught that we are to despise and hate the Jew like the early church fathers and through the centuries others both of Catholic and Protestant traditions>  Forgive us for allowing such prejudice to rule in our hearts because it was not just the Jews that put Your Son to death but it was sin in the Romans and all of us wo have lived in darkness that caused Yeshua to die so that we might be saved and given new life, new life abundantly.  Thank You, Father through the Holy Spirit for opening our minds and hearts that Jeshua was a Jew and that our roots for the Faith and Truth are based in these Hebraic roots.  Father, we recognize it is in us that the change is made so that as Your Apostle Paul has written we have been grafted into the People You chose long ago to bring forth the Messiah!           Lord we say bless all those who call themselves Jews and are of any of the lineage of the 12 tribes of Israel.  May those living in this sacred land and nation we call Israel know and believe in Your Son, Yeshua, the Messiah and allow Him to reign in their hearts. That Arab and Jew and any other people can live in Peace the Peace of Jerusalem that you have commanded us to pray for.           Father we intercede for all of the leadership of the nation of Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Kenneset and all those who have governmental roles in Israel as Judges, Mayors and other public officials. That America and Israel can be with one another as our President Trump has become and the influence that it has on other nations to see and align themselves with Israel and proclaim that Jerusalem is its capital. Lord we proclaim over Israel that this land be not divide as You have declared in Your Word.  There be no two state  division of the Land!  That true Peace reign in the hearts of all who live in Israel and ...

[Jennifer] Helping you cultivate an extraordinary marriage. [Aaron] And today we're gonna talk about Spiritual Stamina and Prayer. Welcome to the Marriage After God podcast, where we believe that marriage was meant for more than just happily ever after. [Jennifer] I'm Jennifer, also known as Unveiled Wife. [Aaron] And I'm Aaron, also known as Husband Revolution. [Jennifer] We have been married for over a decade. [Aaron] And so far, we have four young children. [Jennifer] We have been doing marriage ministry online for over seven years through blogging and social media. [Aaron] With the desire to inspire couples to keep God at the center of their marriage, encouraging them to walk in faith every day. [Jennifer] We believe the Christian marriage should be an extraordinary one, full of life, Love, [Jennifer] And power. [Aaron] That can only be found by chasing after God. [Jennifer] Together.

[Aaron] So let's just get into the content now. You know, we're gonna be talking about spiritual stamina, which is a term that I brought up this last Sunday and we'll talk about where it came from but I believe it's something that God's walking us through right now. There's several things that we're gonna talk about today that were brought up recently, over the last few days, and we're just thinking, "Man, we should talk about this." [Jennifer] Yeah. [Aaron] For this week's podcast. [Jennifer] Yeah, I feel like it's a necessary message, not just for our hearts and the things that we're walking through but hopefully it'll inspire everyone listening. [Aaron] Yeah, and then our heart for this podcast is always to inspire and encourage marriages out there who love God and who wanna know His will for their life and marriage to move forward and that's what He's doing with us, it's our journey, it's their journey, but this word 'stamina', it's something that I think about often when it comes to my workout in the mornings at the gym, which this morning's was super hard and I had almost no stamina. I could not keep going, I almost quit halfway through the workout. [Jennifer] I've been there before, pretty much any workout I've ever done. [Aaron] And the idea is that we, as we work out, or as we exercise or we build muscle, our muscle in our body and our system gets better at doing that and it means we can handle more. And this week, on Sunday at church actually, I was thinking about it. Actually church service was awesome, I walked away feeling so blessed and that just, the Lord was speaking to our hearts, but a thought I had was, "Man, I wonder if we could handle more as a church body?" [Jennifer] Like go longer? [Aaron] Yeah, go longer. Like, it was actually a really good service and several people spoke and talked and we sang a lot of awesome worship songs and just, it was a really good morning. There was tons of prayer, but then I just had this thought of I wonder if we could handle more. Could we go longer, or is it, we just cap it a certain amount or time and this was, I don't believe anyone was, I actually didn't tell anyone this, there was no problem, it was just, I was just thinking, like, I wonder what it would take if we could do more, if God wanted us to go further, if we could, would we be okay with that. Have you ever thought about that before, Babe? [Jennifer] When I think of stamina, I think of my time spent with the kids and kind of just doing our daily routine and the kind of stamina that a parent needs, to be able to do that, to last the whole day. That's a good illustration. Fulfilling their needs and being their encouragement and their comfort and just be that person in their life to guide them and it requires a lot, and so when I think of the word 'stamina', that's what I think of. [Aaron] Well, that's a good illustration, actually. So your stamina from one child to your stamina to two children-- [Jennifer] It grows exponentially. I feel like each time, every time we have another child, I do feel like, kind of like you were talking about, growing and as you exercise and building that muscle, I feel like I'm building that muscle as a parent. [Aaron] Right, in every aspect, not just playing with our kids but in discipline-- [Jennifer] And teaching. [Aaron] In teaching, discipleship, all these areas. So another area that stamina came up was in prayer, recently, and we're gonna talk about that and actually at the end of this episode, are we gonna pray for the marriages that listen? [Jennifer] Yeah, when we were talking about what we would share today, I've actually been asking you for a couple weeks now, hey, we need to an episode just on praying and pray for the couples who are listening because we know how powerful prayer is and our heart is to pray for you guys, and so we thought we could just enter into a time of praying and I'm really excited to do that today. [Aaron] Yeah, and we'll do that towards the end so stay tuned. I did a live video today on Instagram and got people's prayer requests so we're gonna go through some of those, Babe. Oh awesome. [Aaron] But we're just gonna pray generally for marriages who listen to this, marriages and the church and so that's gonna be awesome, but prayer was a part of the spiritual stamina we were talking about. Jennifer and I have made prayer a main theme in our marriage since the beginning. It's been a main theme in our ministry online, it's been probably the most popular books that we've had, is our prayer books. [Jennifer] And I would say that it's not because we're good at it, it's because God's constantly calling us to do it and I feel like that's been an area of our life that we constantly come back to and need to be reminded of and so I think that's why it's such a big part of our ministry online, is because we know that if it's hard for us, it's probably hard for other people. So, just wanted to-- And I feel like recently-- Share that. [Aaron] We've talked about this a bit, Babe, is that God's actually asking us for more. It feels like He's saying, "Hey, I want you to pray more." That there's more to be prayed about, that I want more energy put into prayer and so that goes back to the stamina of well, what can we handle? And you actually, you just asked God recently, you said, "Okay Lord, what's next?" And I feel like what's next in our life is more prayer, more of the word of God, more spiritual growth, more fellowship, all of these things that God, that we experience God in and how we know Him and I think that's what He's calling us to. [Jennifer] So, real quick, you had mentioned that on Sunday specifically, you were kind of wrestling with the question, can we handle more, and I know that the night before, you had started a new book and so do you wanna share a little bit from that? [Aaron] Yeah, so not only was this idea on Sunday of like, can we handle more? Can we pray more? Can we read more? What could our church handle? Could our spiritual stamina be built and grow as a church as a whole but also as individuals in our marriage and then the conversation continued and then that night, I read this book at night. It's by Francis Chan, it's called Letters to the Church, I just got it and he talks about prayer in it and it was pretty powerful, I just wanna read a little bit of what he said. This is on page 67 and he's talking about prayer and the church and he says, "Years ago, my friend from India "drove me to a speaking engagement in Dallas. "When he heard the music and saw the lights, "he said, 'You Americans are funny. "'You won't show up unless "'there's a good speaker or a band. "'In India, people get excited just to pray.' "He proceeded to tell how "believers back home loved communion, "and how they flocked to simple prayer gatherings." First of all, this story itself shocked me and I was like, oh! Like, I've never thought of that and do we do that? Would we flock to a prayer meeting? Do we crave prayer? The Bible is just so adamant about prayer, God's so adamant about our prayer life. Jesus dying on the cross tore the veil from top to bottom so that we can actually have direct line of contact with the Father Himself. That we no longer need an earthly priest, we have a high priest, Jesus Himself, who intercedes for us and gives us direct access. [Jennifer] Which is incredible, do we take advantage of that? Yeah. We should be. [Aaron] And I think this started a really long conversation, actually, right before bed, but later on in the chapter he says, "It is His desire for all His children "to experience the fullness of Him through the church "and has given us His word to show us how. "Let's dream of trembling believers on their knees, "speechless because they grabbed the weight "of speaking to Yahweh. "Let's picture small groups and large crowds "coming with eager expectation just to pray. "This is possible." And so, this book, I'm really liking the book. There's a few things that I've wrestled with but this prayer stuff, we talked for probably an hour, just about our spiritual stamina, our prayer. Like, are we even giving prayer the time of day that it deserves in our life? So, Babe, when I read that, because I read it out loud to us in bed, and just how he was dreaming of believers on their knees praying and speechless and eager expectation just to pray. How does that make you feel? [Jennifer] I think it draws out of my heart just this eagerness to do it more. Sometimes we have these emotions and feelings in our hearts and we can't even put words to them until you read someone else's writing and then it's like, "Oh, that's what it is." And I've been feeling this way for a while and I feel like that was, his words, like, just hearing you read them out loud, was like, "Yes, that's it." Like, we need more of that and earlier you had mentioned that we had been praying for what's next and that specifically came from when I had gotten away for a couple days for a women's retreat and there was 15 of us and we each took turns sitting in what we called the hot seat and it was just a chair in the middle of the room but each one of the women there basically just shared a prayer request and then we all prayed specifically for that woman-- One by one. One by one. Every single woman. It took us, like, three hours or so to get through and when it was my turn, I remember just thinking like, I feel ready for what God has for, for whatever's next for me and for us and so that's kind of where that came from and I'll tell you what, the experience of that prayer time was so powerful, not just in my life, but in all the women's lives there and it made me, when I got home, it made me think of how when you're gone at a retreat or you're gone at a conference, there's this spiritual high. That you walk away feeling like you're just so close to God and you really experienced something truly miraculous and what I felt like God was sharing with me about that specifically is that it was because we devoted time to Him. We sat for three and a half hours and prayed over each individual person, in prayer talking to God, like, petitioning for these prayer requests and then we expect in our daily life to just go through whatever we have, whatever requirements that we have on our day to day agendas and we think that we're gonna experience God the same way without going to our prayer closet, without being on our knees, without lifting up those requests to Him, without being thankful for things and just talking to Him and sharing our heart with Him, we expect the same spiritual high. [Aaron] Yeah, and God doesn't want us to have spiritual highs and lows, He wants us to be consistent with Him. What's funny is you said, so you planned that whole retreat and all the women just raved about it and you were telling me, though, you were like, "I planned all these great things "and they were all fun, like these games "and these conversations and they were great, "but the most powerful thing we did was the prayer." [Jennifer] Yeah. [Aaron] And it was that you said, "It felt miraculous, "it felt like we were in the presence of God "as women coming together for the purpose "of praying for each other," and as we talk about this, I feel like the thing we've been feeling is that we're missing something. Like you said, we expect to experience God in the same way in those dedicated, devoted times as we do in our every day life when we don't dedicate or devote time. And so, the stamina side of that is we need to devote time to practicing and walking in those things. You know, at bedtime. One thing that we've realized is we could be spending more time in prayer. Are we cultivating an environment where we get to bed early enough and even if not, early enough, and prayer is a priority at bedtime, together? [Jennifer] Yeah. [Aaron] Praying for our kids, praying for our family members, praying for our church, and I feel like that's where the stamina comes from, is the devotion and the time that we set aside for it. [Jennifer] And I feel like, as we practice it and we stretch that spiritual muscle, we'll get even better at it. [Aaron] And that's the goal, right? That we get better which means we're closer to God, we're closer to Jesus, we become more like Him, more transformed into His image and so that's what we're talking about today and what's funny is, it's not like we have done this yet, right? Our heart is that we're gonna start walking in this ourselves and start examining areas of our life where we need more spiritual stamina. [Jennifer] Yeah. [Aaron] You actually challenged us this morning-- [Jennifer] Well, because this has been a conversation with us. You do Bible time every morning with the kids, which I absolutely love. I love seeing you lead in that way and you read through a chapter and you put it away and we went to go pray and I'm like actually, I think we can handle more. And you said-- [Aaron] Yeah, going back to our Sunday conversation. [Jennifer] Yeah, and so you said, "You're right," and so you pulled it back out and you just told the kids, "Hey, we're gonna read a little bit more today," and you read a-whole-nother chapter. [Aaron] Yeah, and I will say it was in Luke chapter 21, was the first chapter we read and then chapter 22 was significantly longer, but we did it and the kids totally handled it. Yeah, they got a little squirmy and even in my own flesh, I could feel myself feeling like, okay, this is just going long, but that's the only way we're gonna do it. Didn't we, when I started doing Bible time, wasn't it just a verse? [Jennifer] It was a couple verses, it was so brief, yeah. I feel like it was five minutes, max. Maybe if that. [Aaron] Probably a couple minutes and now we're at a full chapter, so just for those that are listening or wondering about family Bible time, start small and build up the stamina. Build up your ability and your kids' ability to listen and hear more and handle more time in the word of God. [Jennifer] And I just wanna add something specifically for kids, because when we build our spiritual stamina, they're seeing our example and the way that we lead in that way. Oh, that's good. And that's gonna help them as adults and so I just wanna encourage those listening with kids that it's our job, it's our privilege, it's our obligation as Christians to lead our children in this way and I'll be honest, sometimes I lean heavily on my husband to lead in this way and it's like I think, we already did Bible time and so therefore when I'm doing school with them and Aaron's off to work that I don't need to pray with them, or at least I think like, check off the box, that's already been done, but if I wanna build their spiritual stamina, I'm going to go into prayer or read the Word or teach whatever I need to teach of God's ways at any time throughout the day and that's kind of been the blessing of being at home to homeschool them but today, specifically, as this theme has been playing out in our lives and we've been thinking about spiritual stamina, I, during school, stopped and made the kids sit on the floor and we all held hands and I said, "We're gonna pray. "We're gonna pray specifically for some friends "that are going through a hard time right now," and each one of the kids prayed and it was really incredible. [Aaron] And that's good and that's building our stamina and how could we ever expect our children to fall in love with the word of God, grow spiritually, love God if they don't see us walking in those ways? We can't expect something different from them that we wouldn't expect of ourselves. And so the desire that we have to grow spiritually, to get better at being in the word of God and to get better at prayer. Not that these things commend us to God but they make us more like Him and because our heart is like, "Man, Lord, we wanna be like You, we wanna walk with You, we wanna know You," that's where this desire is coming from. This craving of getting stronger and more fit in the word of God, activating the things that we're learning, walking in the ways that we're reading in the word of God. [Jennifer] So we were dong family Bible time this morning and you wanna share about what we read? [Aaron] Yeah, 'cause again, there's this theme. There was Sunday morning, there was Sunday night in the book I was reading and then this morning, Monday morning, we're reading in Luke and it's Luke chapter 22 and it's just, this is about Jesus praying. He's about to go to the cross and I just wanna read the scripture verbatim and then we'll talk about it. It's in Luke chapter 22, verse 39, "And He came out and went, as was His custom, "to the Mount of Olives and the disciples followed Him. "And when He came to the place, He said to them, "'Pray that you may not enter into temptation.'" I just wanna stop right there for a second because you actually pointed this out this morning, you're like, "He asked them to pray "not to enter into temptation?" Jesus loved his disciples and He asked them, He said, "Guys, pray that you don't enter into temptation." Especially knowing that Peter was about to be tempted to deny Him. He knew he was gonna deny Him, three times, and Jesus was like, "Hey guys, "pray so that you won't enter into temptation." He's like, it's not just a warning, it's like a hey, this is what you can do, this is what you should do so that you won't do the other thing. [Jennifer] And this is the same, this is true for us. Yeah. Right? [Aaron] And then he says in verse 41, "And He withdrew from them, about a stone's throw "and knelt down and prayed, saying, "'Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. "'Nevertheless, not My will but Yours be done.' "And there appeared to Him "an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him, "and being in agony, He prayed more earnestly "and His sweat became like great drops of blood "falling down to the ground. "And when He rose from prayer, "He came to the disciples "and found them sleeping for sorrow. "And He said to them, 'Why are you sleeping? "'Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.'" [Jennifer] Okay, so hold on. So, Jesus was in agony and He kept praying. [Aaron] He prayed more. [Jennifer] He prayed more, more earnestly. So, that shows some stamina and I think that this moves my heart so much because I think of everybody going through hard times, everybody goes through, in their own way, they have to face circumstances, conflict, whatever it is. How can we have the stamina to face those things earnestly through prayer, if we're not doing it when times are easy? [Aaron] Yeah, and it would be easy to say, "Well, like, he's Jesus," but the Bible tells us that Jesus was like us. He was tempted in the same way, He had physical limitations and weaknesses in the flesh but without sin and so it says that he was in agony, sweating as it were drops of blood, that's how much agony He was in, knowing what He was about to face on the cross. But yet, He prayed and said, "Not My will be done but Yours." And so the template we get here is that we pray God's will for our life, that we do it even when we're in agony and more earnestly and I just like He says, He says, "Why are you sleeping?" And I feel like us, it's almost as if we've been sleeping and God's looking at us saying, "Wake up. "Wake up, the time is drawing near, "get on your face and pray." do you feel like that, Babe? Yeah. Do you feel like He's telling us to wake up? [Jennifer] Yeah, I do. I mean, I feel like in a lot of ways, we do fulfill these scriptures and we do try and walk in righteousness and walk in the ways that He's called every Christian to, through His word but yet so often, we neglect it or we forget or we think we're doing fine until we read things like this and it hits us head-on that Jesus Himself was in agony and He continues to pray earnestly, and that's our example. And are we doing that? [Aaron] Yeah, and I think about, He says, "Rise up and pray that you may not enter into temptation." I think of the normal temptations to sin, but how often are we tempted to just not pray? To not be in the word of God? [Jennifer] To do something else, to go on social media? [Aaron] Gosh, that's like, my story. It's everyone's story. I go to bed and I'm like, "Oh, I'm gonna read the Bible," and then, boom, I'm on my phone. [Jennifer] It's everyone's story right now. [Aaron] Yeah, so let's wake up, Christians. We're gonna do this with you. Let's wake up from our spiritual slumber and our lack of fervor for spiritual things. The Bible tells us to desire that which is from above, Heavenly things, and I want that. I wanna pray more. I wanna be in the word of God more. I wanna be in close unity and fellowship with other believers more. If in prayer, and in the word of God, I'm thinking about this Sunday in teaching on this idea and practicing it and just reading through several chapters in the word of God, just to get our stamina for the word of God. [Jennifer] I think it's important, I think we need it. [Aaron] Yeah, and so we should try that. Remind me to do that this weekend, I'll prepare something. So that was the scriptures that we read this morning to our kids, again about prayer and just seeing Jesus's example in that. And then I just wanna, really quick, this is to emphasize that I believe God's just hammering home in our marriage currently, this idea that God wants us praying. So last night, I could not sleep. I don't know if you know this or not but I literally was dreaming all night and when I dream, I don't feel like I've slept at all. I remember waking up at 12:00 and then 1:30 and then 3:30 and then at 4:30, finally, I woke up, and I started praying for the person I was dreaming about. I was like, "Okay Lord, I had this dream "about a friend of mine and I had the dream all night "and it was really distressing to me," and I finally just woke up and I just prayed for him. I don't think the dream is true but I believe that he needed prayer, and so I just started praying for him. And then I had another person, another friend of mine that moved away, and I haven't thought about him in a little while, and so this morning, after I got back from the gym, I just started praying for him. And what's awesome is, he sends me a message, or he actually posted about me today, just saying he wanted to like go do a run with me, or something like that, and I went and I just messaged him and I said, "Hey, how are you doing? I'm praying for you." And he lets me know that stuff's going on in his life, that I didn't know about and I was like, "Man! Well, I'm praying for you, "I'm here for you, let me know what's going on." And I was like, "Okay, Lord." [Jennifer] That's really cool. [Aaron] Like, you want me to pray? Like, I'm gonna pray. And it's not for my sake, it's for others' sake and it's also for just hearing God's voice, which I think is awesome. [Jennifer] Yeah, well I think that when our hearts are yielded in that way and submissive to God in that way, we hear Him and He can speak to us and He can lead us and He can show us things or present opportunities like, with your friend, texting back and forth, would you have even had that opportunity if your heart wasn't tender enough to be praying for him? [Aaron] Probably not. I wouldn't have been thinking about him, I wouldn't have been ready. I might have, like, if I talked to him later, said, "Oh, I'll pray for you," but it encouraged me to know that God had already had me working in the spirit on his behalf. Which I think is a really awesome thing. And think about the body, the entire body of Christ, the church, what it would look like if we were praying like this for each other? Just always in prayer for each other. It'd be powerful. [Aaron] Now, what would it look like in our marriages? What would it look like if I was praying for you every morning? Which I do, I pray for you, but I don't pray for you the way I could be. Do you feel like you feel pray for me like that, and if you don't, what would you think would happen if you were praying for me, just fervently and daily and hourly, sometimes? [Jennifer] Well, there has been seasons of our marriage where I know for a fact that you're wrestling with something or you need help with something or you're down and like, I can sense that, or we've talked about something specific and those are the times that I feel like I really go to God in prayer for you, on your behalf, and then there's other times where I feel like we're good and I'm not in that same heart of prayer. [Aaron] Right, we're good, we don't need it. [Jennifer] Not that we don't need it, but like, I know if someone says, "Prayer is amazing, "you need to be praying," I'm like, "I know." But am I walking in that faithfully, with fervor, with my knees on the ground for you? I don't fight for you like that, like I should be, every single day. [Aaron] Right, and we get reminded in the word of God that the battles that we face are not battles against flesh and blood, but they're spiritual battles, against the powers in the air and the spiritual forces and we get to battle, as our Pastor Matt always says, he says that prayer isn't the preparation for the battle, prayer is the battle. We could be battling for each other. I could be battling for you that God's walking with you and helping you and encouraging you in your faith, in your abilities as a mother, in your strength as a wife and you could be praying for me for being protected from temptation and walking in leadership and getting wiser and all these things that we could be praying for on a constant basis. [Jennifer] What I found to be so impactful about marriage is that when we are yielded in this way, to be praying, especially for our spouse, when I'm praying for you, my heart's not focused on myself, it's not about me, it's about you and if my heart's in that position, then what's gonna happen in my actions as we interact with each other throughout the rest of the day? I'm gonna be mindful of you, I'm gonna be thoughtful of you, I'm gonna be thinking about your needs and thinking about how I can serve you, love you, help you versus the other way around which is me, me, me. [Aaron] Right, and that goes to that scripture, I believe it's First Thessalonians that says, "Pray without ceasing." It's not that we are literally on our knees praying 24/7, it's that we are in constant communion with the Father, who, when we do that, changes us, speaks to us, walks with us, guides us, puts our eyes on the things that He wants our eyes on, puts words in our mouths that He wants us to speak, has us hear things He wants us to hear, and so prayer does that. It turns our hearts to God, which then turns our hearts to what He wants. So I love this. I think that as marriages, we should just pray and we're gonna be doing this, pray that God would give us a heart for prayer. That he would grow our spiritual stamina for the word of God, for prayer and that we would see fruit from it, good fruit. And so I think we should go into a time of prayer. What do you think about that, Babe? [Jennifer] I feel good. I feel like it's necessary and needed and I think that we need to be praying specifically for the body of Christ even more. I feel like we're entering into a season where the body needs it more than ever. [Aaron] Right, so we're gonna go into a time of prayer and I'm gonna pray for some of the things that the community, you guys, gave me to pray for and we'll pray for some other things and then we'll close it out. [Jennifer] We wanna invite you guys to pray along with us and if anything comes up in your heart that you need prayer for or that your spouse needs prayer for, just take a minute and just pray for them. [Aaron] Father God, I just wanna come before You and I wanna lift up marriages all over the world, marriages who love You, marriages who desire to see Your will done in their life. Father, I pray that You would reveal Yourself to them, that You would draw them so close to You, God, that they would know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they're Yours and that You desire to use them in mighty ways. Father, I specifically wanna pray for those marriages who are struggling with illness. I know many marriages have real illnesses, real bad things that they're dealing with, hard things, things that they've been dealing with for years, even. I pray, Father, for complete healing. I pray that even if they aren't healed, Father God, that their hearts would be yielded to You, that they would trust You and know that You are doing good things in their life. I pray, Father, that they would lean on You in their weakness because, Father, You tell us in Your word that in our weakness, Your strength is made perfect, and so I pray that in their lives, Your strength would be made perfect and they would know it. I pray that they would rejoice in their afflictions, in their sickness, that people that are watching them and that are wanting to them to be better, Father God, would see their joy, would see their resolve and would know, God, that they are walking with You and that they would be a testimony to people that are watching them. I also wanna pray for marriages that are dealing with infidelity, Father God, and unfaithfulness. I pray Lord that you would convict the hearts of those who are not walking in faithfulness with their spouse; that Lord, You would change them and transform them and rebuke them, if necessary, and that You would bring other Christians alongside them to rebuke them as well; and that they would turn their hearts to You, that they would repent and that they would change their ways and that You would redeem those marriages, Father God. We just, we pray in Your mighty name, in the name that is above all names, Jesus Christ, and we ask, Lord, that you would change those marriages and that they would be a testimony for you; that anyone who would see and hear their story would know that there is a God in Heaven; that they would know that You are the one true God, because they see that Your hand was in their marriage and that You redeem them and save them. [Jennifer] God, I just thank You so much for these marriages, I thank You for these husbands and wives and the purposes that You have for each one of us and I just pray, Lord, that as we draw closer to You, that Your holy Spirit would just continue to guide us and continue to lead us, continue to give us stamina, Lord, for Your word, give us stamina for our prayer life and for talking to You and just coming before You with our requests and our thankfulness and everything that's going on in our lives, Lord, and I just pray that we would have stamina in our family lives, that we would be present. I pray, Lord, that each one of us would know the roles that we have with our children and other people's children, that you would just reveal to us, just how influential each one of us are in their lives and I pray, Lord, that we would have stamina with them, that we would be patient and kind and compassionate and caring as we disciple them and draw them closer to you. God, I thank You so much that these marriages desire to draw closer to You and I just pray that we would all experience more intimacy with You. I pray that we would experience more intimacy in our marriages. God, I pray that every marriage after God would build their foundation and establish it according to Your word, that we wouldn't let a day go by without reading your word. God, please remind us every day that we are lights of Your testimony, especially for this world, this dark world, Lord. I just pray that we would know what purposes we have to fulfill in this life and I pray that we would walk in the ways that You've already established for us to walk. God, I pray against the enemy. I pray against his flaming arrows and the ways that he tries to attack us and I pray that he would not get in the way of what You're trying to do on our lives. I also pray against our flesh and the temptations that come to draw us away from You and I just pray, Lord, that we would be stronger than that, that we would be able to walk righteously and pure and God, I just pray that Your Holy Spirit would help us in this way. God, I specifically wanna lift up some requests that came from the community and that was around job and work and I just pray, Lord, that as people transition in and out of jobs, with changes, I pray that for those who don't have a job right now, I just pray for all of it, Lord. That You would just continue to guide each one of us as we pursue the work that You have for us, and regardless of the circumstances, whether we're in work, in job changes or out of work, that we would continue to be a light for Your namesake, that we would be a testimony to those around us, of faithfulness and perseverance and hope. I pray, Lord, that whatever work that we do, that we would do it unto You. I also wanna lift up finances too, Lord, and I just pray that each one of us would steward well all that You have given to us. If there are couples in debt, Lord, I just pray that You would inspire them to change their ways, that they would do everything that they can to get out of that debt and that they would lead their families well in the area of finances. I pray that we would be a generous people, people who don't cling to what they have but that they're holding it open handed so that You can guide and direct wherever You need those resources to go. God, I pray that You would be able to trust every marriage with the finances that You have placed in their lives and that we would just steward them well, Lord. God, I just thank You so much for our marriages and I just continually ask that Your Holy Spirit would lead us and guide us and draw us closer to You each and every day.

A Prayer for My Community (Written by a victim who is now a victor) Dear Father in Heaven, This morning my heart is heavy as I think about the atrocities of the past and present in my hometown of Belleville. I can’t imagine how You must feel, Jesus. I can’t imagine the pain and the aguish You must experience as You see the many, many little girls and boys being sexually victimized in the most horrible ways. I can’t imagine how much it angers You when the people who do these things are those who look good on the outside and claim to be Your children. I can’t imagine how You must feel when people who claim Your name turn their backs on such sin and crime, and refuse to bring such sin to the Light. O Jesus, sometimes I wonder: How can You let it go on? How long, O Lord? But then I remember that You are merciful to all. You desperately want those perpetrators to come to the end of themselves and fall at Your feet in true repentance for their sin. I forget sometimes that You are Sovereign. That You are Merciful. That You are in control of it all. And that someday, it will be made right. O Father, I pray for the victims. The innumerable little girls and boys. The teenagers who are being sold for sex. May you send the right people to guide them to You. May they know Your love. May they realize how much You care about them. May they find healing and rest in You. May they find protection from the enemy of their souls. May they make that hard decision to take responsibility for their response to the abuse. May they forgive and not become bitter. I pray that You would raise them up and that someday their pain would be used to help other little boys and girls. I pray for the parents and church leaders of the victims. I pray that You would raise up people who would realize the implications of abuse and how it destroys a person. I pray that You would give them wisdom in relating to these broken children and youth. I pray that if they have been abused themselves and have fought help, that they would be willing to work through their own pain. I pray that You would break the chains of generational sexual abuse in my hometown and the surrounding communities. I pray that there could be freedom and healing and that it would come only from You. And lastly, Jesus, I pray for the perpetrators. I pray that they would come to the end of themselves. I pray that it would happen in this life and not in the next. I pray for their souls. I pray that you would have mercy on them. I pray that their evil deeds would be exposed NOW and not at the judgment day. O Jesus, have mercy, please. They need You just as I need You. O God, please send the right people their way to take them by the hand and lead them to you. I pray for repentance and restoration for them. I pray for a godly sorrow that would lead to repentance. I know You care, Jesus. And I thank you so much that You are working behind the scenes. Thank you Father. Amen The SIIU Core Team believes God is moving to locate and heal the abused and give them a voice We also believe God is at work to bring down the perpetrators and remove those who knew but did nothing!

https://youtu.be/ua0m2qnxUUs Quck recap of whats going on this portion of ScriptureEli is the priest, two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. They steal the sacrifices that they aren’t supposed to. They sleep with women who aren’t their wives. Horrible Pastors kids. See- God had promised to bless the house of Eli, but it was predicated on obedience, and NOW he’s not being obedient, by allowing his sons to continue their behavior Eli goes to confront his sons, but his sons don’t listen and Eli doesn’t really push too hard God isn’t playing with these sons- he’s going to kill them for their disobedience Here’s a big problem- These young men aren’t just sinning against men, they are sinning against GOD The prophet comes to Eli- tells him of God’s judgment upon his house, and tells him that his house will not be well, and that life will not be good for him because of his disobedience he says. Fix it and you’ll be saved, don’t and you’ll be destroyed What can we get from this story? How we live isn’t hidden from GodSin is never acceptable. It wasn’t acceptable in the Garden of Eden. It wasn’t acceptable in ancient Israel. Its not acceptable in your life todayThere is no where in the Bible where God goes easy on sin. No where.v 12 Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the LordThe sons were in the temple- they were part of the sacraments. They were in with the priestBut they were CORRUPT. They were BAD and God was watching!the sons may have been able to fool other people, fool their dad, but they couldn’t fool GodHebrews 4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.This scripture outlines the confrontation that God has with this family about their sin 17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.Job 34:21 “For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.Like many parents, Eli wants the adoration of his sons more than he wants the adoration of GodWicked wicked wicked! And it must be dealt withGod wanted to kill his sons! V 25 “Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, because the Lord desired to kill them.”Don’t miss this “they didn’t know the Lord” You cant fake it! Either you know God or notEcclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. What does it mean to you?Where you at on the sin continuum? Either you’re oblivious to your sin against God, you’ve repented of it, or you’re in denial – Story of Cousin- DNA Doesn’t lie- Sin doesn’t lieDon’t miss this- they were in church, appearing right and inwardly and externally wrong!Just because Jesus saved you doesn’t mean that he turns from ongoing unrepentant sin that you continue in your life2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.I have seen destruction come upon people who have attended this church because they entertained small sins and didn’t treat them as seriously as they should haveYou’ll answer to God for it! He’s watching! He isn’t going to tolerate it!Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Sin is sin against God 25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him. But if a man sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?”What Eli is saying to his sons is simple- Its easy to make things right with another person, but making it right with God after you’ve sinned against him? Yowza.The sons of Eli had a mindset that many people who live in sin have- what I’m doing only affects me, it affects no one else. I can continue in this because only God knowsPsalm 51:4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found...

Have you ever been afraid of Death? What happens after you die? How can you have peace when you face life's end? Listen as Glen shares the beautiful truth from the Scripture! Job 14:12-15 "So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep. Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes. You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands."

Acts 13:42-52 (NASB)42 As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God.Paul Turns to the Gentiles44 The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming. 46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us,‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,That You may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

That You may Know the Rivals You Face

Psalms 51: Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak,[a] And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise. 18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Some very common myths about meditation are that you "must" sit a certain way, clear your mind of all thoughts and that everyday tasks cannot be turned into a spiritual practice. But what if I told you that YOU get to create your meditations on your own terms? That YOU can choose what works for you? Well the good news is that you can!

[audio mp3="https://strikeforceofprayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Audio-for-prayer-12.8.2017.mp3"][/audio] Heavenly Father, We come before You with humble, contrite hearts to give You glory, honor and praise for all that You have done and are doing to re-make America a shining Light on a hill as a part of Your Kingdom here on earth. We thank You that You protect us under the shadow of Your Wings! That You shield us from the radar of the enemy and bring blindness and deafness into his camp, so that we are able to overcome the enemy and his plan to destroy what You have blessed us with especially in our day!

Who would you be without your story? Who would you be without your past? What if you could leave it all behind? What if you were no one's child? What if you were no ones parent? What if you were no one's partner, no one's ex? What if your resume was wiped clean? If your job wasn’t a part of your identity? What if you had never been hurt? What if you had never hurt anyone?

The pure YOU that you were naturally when you entered this world. That pure innocent version of yourself. That YOU who you naturally were as a young child. Do you remember that YOU? If you had no story, there would be nothing to fix, there would be no limiting beliefs to dissolve or heal. There would be nothing to forgive. All that would be left would be the perfection of YOU. That YOU doesn’t know fear, doesn’t know pain doesn’t know suffering. How wonderful! So my invitation today is simply to play with this. Close your eyes and tune into to that person you would be if you had no story, no past. What does that version of yourself know to be true? What qualities does that pure YOU have that make you special and unique? What superpowers does this version of yourself possess?

O.K, guys... This episode is a little different in that I recorded the episode from the car before I wrote the show notes. My standard process for solo show episodes is that I write out the show notes first, then use those as a guide to record the episode. I've been thinking about how to proceed with the show notes for this episode and am going to do something a little different. I'm going to give you the bullet points and then will include the transcripts after the fact (I'm still working on them). I'm sure I'll be adding to the post after the transcripts are completed but I really wanted to get this episode out first (not wait for the transcripts). This episode was a ton of fun for me because I've been a little extra fired up lately. But fired up in a good way. I feel super focused with everything I'm doing. Why You're Not Making Money with Your WordPress Site Are you the technician or the entrepreneur? If you're stuck in the day-to-day tasks in your business and don't feel any further than you did in your business last year? You're probably the technician. If you're able to focus on what you're really great at (as opposed to keeping yourself busy with what I call the 'peripherals'), then you're the entrepreneur. At some point, you need to shout from the rooftops that you have something to SELL. That YOU can solve a problem for your customer/subscriber. If you don't want to do the marketing and promotion, it's quite possible you don't want to be an entrepreneur. Which is O.K. Not everyone who is good at a particular skill wants to sell that skill. They simply want to practice it. Here's an example of what I mean. Let's say you're an amazing woodworker. You create custom furniture pieces and love what you do. If you're more excited about woodworking than you are about selling the creations? It might be time to hire someone for marketing (or you have to step into marketing until you can hire someone). My Deep Dive into Expert Secrets This book has totally turned my life upside down (in a good way) and is where I've discovered "the missing piece" in my business. It was because of reading this book that I've had this light bulb moment and have really dug into ALL my messaging in my business. I'm starting with LeadSurveys (because it's a new brand and I'm still not super clear on everything) then will dive into WPChick. Here are a few things I've been working on: messaging why my story (what was the moment or thing that got me excited about LeadSurveys in the first place) what are people's beliefs when it comes to list building and growing their audience what is the pain point for our customer? what is the new opportunity that LeadSurveys offers them? what is the psychology behind what makes someone want to take action? NONE of this is new you guys. I've heard it all before, I've read it before, but for some reason, it's all clicking into place. And it's WORKING.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) ‘FortheLorddoesnotseeas man sees;for man looks at the outward appearance, but theLordlooks at the heart.’ 2 Samuel 6:22 (NKJV) …And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight! Psalm 34:1-3 (NKJV) I will bless theLordat all times; His praiseshallcontinuallybein my mouth. 2My soul shall make its boast in theLord; The humble shall hearof itand be glad. 3Oh, magnify theLordwith me, And let us exalt His name together. Luke 19:40 (NKJV) But He answered and said to them,“I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” 1 Samuel 17:34-36 (NKJV) ‘…when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,35I went out after it and struck it, and deliveredthe lambfrom its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caughtitby its beard, and struck and killed it.’ Luke 16:10 (NKJV) He whoisfaithful inwhat isleast is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust inwhat isleast is unjust also in much. 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of theLordof hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” 1 Samuel 17:40-42 (NLT) He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd’s bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd’s staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. 41Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him,42sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 1 Samuel 17:49-50 (NKJV) Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slungitand struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. 1 Samuel 13:14 (NKJV) …The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people… Acts 13:22 (NKJV) …He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ 2 Chronicles 16:9 (AMP) For the eyes of theLordmove to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His. 1 Samuel 22:1-2 (NKJV) David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heardit,they went down there to him. 2And everyonewho wasin distress, everyone whowasin debt, and everyonewho wasdiscontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. Psalm 51:1-7 (NKJV) Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sinisalways before me. 4Against You, You only, have I sinned, And donethisevil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, Andblameless when You judge. 5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hiddenpartYou will make me to know wisdom. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive usoursins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Our guest today lives his life by two rules.And these are two rules that by and large most people will try to keep away from, and then they wonder why they haven’t got their dream life.He believes thatYou can’t be afraid to take a risk.You absolutely MUST have a plan.And then if you know anything about him, he adds to the mix a huge belief in himself, a flexing hustle muscle that he demonstrates everyday, and an easy going nature that helps him reach out to the movers and shakers across the globe.As a young man, he didn't have the desire to be the solopreneur or entrepreneur that he is today. Instead he had a burning passion to become a professional paintballer, and upon getting his first gun from his parents set out to achieve his aim. And it seems that what he wants to do, he makes sure that he does its as within four years he had travelled the world shooting capsules of paint at people winning $300,000 dollars in the process.Even gaining the top prize of $160,000 in just one weekend.But at his core burned a question. A question that had occurred to him several years earlier, and had remain within him. Gnawing away.He asked himself “If people can come from nothing and create insane amounts of wealth in one lifetime, then shouldn’t someone like myself coming from a middle class family who has the support from their family and lives in “The Land of Opportunity” be able to easily do the same thing?”Wow, for a fourteen year old kid that shows awareness beyond his years.He realised at any early age that comfort creates mediocrity, and pain motives change.And now after investing over $500,000 of his own money on self development, and spending time with the likes of Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and even Arnold Schwarzenegger he is taking those personal skills and sharing them with the world with his Peak Performance Club.But how does someone at the age of 14 start thinking in such an advanced way, especially when it appears he didn’t have anything to force him to think that way?How did he start taking the action that helped him achieve the big goals?And where does he find the greatest need within the people that he coaches and inspires across the world?Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only coaching solopreneur Mr Mark A Lack.Links:Cover imageClick to view: show page on Awesound

There are deep-rooted programs in our subconscious mind – from our childhood, our upbringing, parents, culture around us as we were growing up, etc.  Those that are more emotional and intense form deep emotional “roots” and our subconscious mind develops various flight or fight ways to overcome them.In this podcast, we're going to talk about how to reprogram those deep emotional subconscious patterns.  I'll take you through 5 steps that will help you literally change the operating system, and the way you responded, to these triggers that formerly would fire-off when you found yourself confronted with a particular situation.If you would like the notes, feel free to copy/paste them from here.STEP 1 – ClarityGet out your journal and write as specifically as you can word it – what the issue isSTEP 2 – Add EmotionWhat we’ve done so far is in your conscious mind. It’s a game plan.Now, we have to add emotion, because the negative programming is CHALK FULL of negative emotion.You have to re-condition your emotional aspect and this is the hardest part of the assignmentYou could do affirmations and that would be fine for the conscious mind, but let’s go deeper than thatSTEP 3 – Clearly define a different response next time it comes up.Make it empowering – using the trigger for how you would like to respond next timeStep 3-A – Repeat listing the emotions as beforeSTEP 4 – Re-programming the subconscious mind#1 – Go into a meditative state – Alpha or Theta (Use one of Kelly Howell's audio's from BrainSync.com if you prefer)#2 – Neutralize the old emotionGo back and listen to #57 where Fred did the guided meditation with me and how he masterfully neutralized the negative side of running out of money.Do that same process here. Magnify the negativeBe careful here – especially if it is a deep scar, particularly abuse. You may need professional help with this, depending on where you areMagnify it and make it so crazy silly that you get yourself to laughingYou can dress the other people up in costumes – like clowns. Make it a cartoon. Foghorn Leghorn or Daffy Duck#3 – Visualize what it would look like for you to emit (whatever it is) -pure love – from your beingBecome totally absorbed with that feelingMagnify it huge in your mind-movieRecall a time in your life when that emotion was at its very highest peakThen magnify it even moreFeel the emotion of what that feels likeYou should be really smiling and feel very warm at this point – if not, then keep working on it until you do. You MUST shift your emotionSTEP 5 – Anticipate the next situationJournal when it could possibly occur – expand the details around thatYou are creating preparedness – you’ll be readyThen go back into meditation and see yourself responding with love, diffusing the situation and everyone is happy and lovingSee your situation in a positive light. Visualize it happening in precise detail. Repeat this every day for at least 30 days if you want to really reprogram somethingThere is no drive-through for thisIf you’re really, really serious:  30 Days MINIMUM Last Point: Be ready & alert. The Universe will be happy to present you with a situation to test this!…..Enjoy the Journey The post Podcast 60 – 5 Steps To Change Subconscious Mind Programming appeared first on Subconscious Mind Mastery.

Psalm 51 New King James Version (NKJV) A Prayer of Repentance To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 51 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak,[a] And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise. 18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar. Footnotes: Psalm 51:4 Septuagint, Targum, and Vulgate read in Your words.

To Whom Shall I Go? Psa 119:37; Luk 16:15; Jn 6:68-69 Turn my eyes from worthless things And revive me in Your ways Lord For the things that men esteem Are detestable in Your eyes Chorus: To whom shall I go? Your word is life And I’ve come to know That You are the Christ … Continue reading To Whom Shall I Go? →

What then is the superiority of the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? (Rom 3:1)Much in every way! First of all, that they were entrusted with the very words of God! (Rom 3:2)For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? (Rom 3:3)By no means! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar, just as it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and You may prevail when You are judged." (Rom 3:4)
