Christine Caine | You Can Thrive Part 3 | December 18, 2021
- - IF WE MEDITATE ON THIS WORD DAY AND NIGHT, IF WE
- 00:00:00.890 --> 00:00:04.894
- OBEY WHAT IS IN THIS WORD THEN LIKE JOSHUA WE CAN
- 00:00:04.894 --> 00:00:08.731
- MAKE OUR WAY PROSPEROUS, AND WE CAN HAVE GOOD
- 00:00:08.731 --> 00:00:13.703
- GODLY SUCCESS.
- 00:00:13.703 --> 00:00:16.773
- HEY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME ON EQUIP
- 00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:19.109
- AND EMPOWER TODAY.
- 00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:20.276
- I CONSIDER THESE TIMES TO BE MOMENTS OF FREEDOM,
- 00:00:20.276 --> 00:00:22.912
- VICTORY AND BREAKTHROUGH, AND I AM BELIEVING THAT
- 00:00:22.912 --> 00:00:25.582
- TODAY WILL BE NO DIFFERENT.
- 00:00:25.582 --> 00:00:27.484
- THE REALITY IS GOD MADE YOU TO THRIVE.
- 00:00:27.484 --> 00:00:30.220
- OFTEN TIMES HOWEVER WE CAN FIND OURSELVES IN
- 00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:32.622
- SEASONS OF SURVIVAL TRYING TO JUST GET BY
- 00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:36.559
- HOPING TO MAKE IT THROUGH AN ENTIRE DAY WITHOUT A
- 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:38.161
- ANOTHER SETBACK, BUT GOD HAS SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU, AND I
- 00:00:38.161 --> 00:00:41.598
- AM PRAYING TODAY'S WORD WILL ENCOURAGE YOU.
- 00:00:41.598 --> 00:00:44.200
- NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, I'M BELIEVING HE'S GOING
- 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.103
- TO BREATHE HOPE AND STRENGTH INTO YOUR
- 00:00:47.103 --> 00:00:49.739
- SPIRIT, SO LET'S GET STARTED TODAY.
- 00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:51.941
- [ MUSIC ]
- 00:00:51.941 --> 00:01:06.456
- HEY, EVERYONE.
- 00:01:06.456 --> 00:01:07.590
- I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE JOINED ME TODAY.
- 00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.593
- WE ARE FINALIZING A SERIES THAT HAS GOT ME
- 00:01:10.593 --> 00:01:13.096
- PUMPED UP, FIRED UP, AND READY TO GO, AND I HOPE
- 00:01:13.096 --> 00:01:16.232
- IT'S BEEN INSPIRING ME AS MUCH AS IT HAS ME.
- 00:01:16.232 --> 00:01:20.537
- WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO TRULY
- 00:01:20.537 --> 00:01:23.840
- UNDERSTAND BIBLICAL SUCCESS.
- 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.176
- WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE BOOK OF JOSHUA, JOSHUA
- 00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:28.645
- CHAPTER 1, WHEN THE LORD STARTS OFF AND HE SAYS TO
- 00:01:28.645 --> 00:01:31.748
- JOSHUA, MOSES MY SERVANT IS DEAD.
- 00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:33.816
- THE OLD IS FINISHED.
- 00:01:33.816 --> 00:01:35.285
- IT'S A BRAND-NEW DAY.
- 00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:36.653
- AND HE SAYS JOSHUA, I'M SENDING YOU IN TO POSSESS
- 00:01:36.653 --> 00:01:40.123
- THE PROMISED LAND AND TO TAKE THE ISRAELITES INTO
- 00:01:40.123 --> 00:01:43.693
- THE PROMISE LAND WITH YOU.
- 00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:45.094
- AND HE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT, JOSHUA?
- 00:01:45.094 --> 00:01:46.629
- WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT
- 00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:49.365
- YOU MEDITATE ON THIS WORD DAY AND NIGHT, THAT YOU
- 00:01:49.365 --> 00:01:52.335
- ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU APPLY THIS
- 00:01:52.335 --> 00:01:55.872
- WORD, YOU OBEY WHAT THIS WORD SAYS IN YOUR LIFE,
- 00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:59.175
- AND THEN THE LORD VERY POWERFULLY RIGHT THERE
- 00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:01.678
- SAYS, FOR THEN YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS
- 00:02:01.678 --> 00:02:04.414
- AND YOU WILL HAVE GOOD SUCCESS.
- 00:02:04.414 --> 00:02:08.117
- HAS THAT EVER BLOWN YOU AWAY THAT GOD ACTUALLY
- 00:02:08.117 --> 00:02:11.454
- WANTS YOU TO HAVE GOOD SUCCESS?
- 00:02:11.454 --> 00:02:12.855
- NOW THE FACT THAT IT HAS GOOD SUCCESS IMPLIES
- 00:02:12.855 --> 00:02:15.325
- PERHAPS THERE'S NOT SOMETHING SHAHS GOOD
- 00:02:15.325 --> 00:02:17.527
- SUCCESS, AND I THINK A LOT OF THE THINGS THE
- 00:02:17.527 --> 00:02:19.095
- WORLD TELLS US, THE ACCOLADES OF THE WORLD
- 00:02:19.095 --> 00:02:21.664
- AND THE AFFIRMATIONS OF THE WORLD, WE THINK HOW
- 00:02:21.664 --> 00:02:23.800
- MUCH WE ACCUMULATE OR HOW MUCH WE ACQUIRE OR HOW
- 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.402
- MUCH WE AMASS, YOU KNOW, THAT SOMEHOW IS
- 00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:28.938
- GOOD SUCCESS.
- 00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:30.106
- THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A SIGN OF SUCCESS BUT
- 00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:32.909
- KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, FULFILLING YOUR
- 00:02:32.909 --> 00:02:35.712
- GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE AND GOD- GIVEN DESTINY THAT IS
- 00:02:35.712 --> 00:02:38.314
- GOOD SUCCESS.
- 00:02:38.314 --> 00:02:39.549
- UNDERSTANDING THAT YOUR SIGNIFICANCE AND SECURITY
- 00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:42.652
- AND YOUR IDENTITY CAN ONLY ULTIMATELY BE FOUND
- 00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:45.221
- IN CHRIST.
- 00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:46.489
- THAT IS WHAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU ETERNAL SUCCESS
- 00:02:46.489 --> 00:02:48.291
- AND ETERNAL PEACE AND ETERNAL HOPE.
- 00:02:48.291 --> 00:02:52.128
- AND THE FACT IS THAT IF YOU AND I ARE GOING TO
- 00:02:52.128 --> 00:02:55.531
- WALK IN BIBLICAL SUCCESS AND WE WANT TO BE THE MEN
- 00:02:55.531 --> 00:02:59.235
- AND WOMEN OF GOD THAT WALK IN BIBLICAL SUCCESS,
- 00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:01.437
- THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN TO BE ENERGIZED
- 00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:04.841
- BY CHANGE.
- 00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:05.942
- THAT'S NOT EASY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
- 00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:07.610
- YOU SEE, JOSHUA COULDN'T JUST SIT IN THE CAMP
- 00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:10.947
- TALKING ABOUT MOSES FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE,
- 00:03:10.947 --> 00:03:13.950
- TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
- 00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:15.818
- HE COULDN'T JUST SIT THERE AND GO LET'S JUST
- 00:03:15.818 --> 00:03:17.887
- MAKE OUR CAMP HERE AND TALK ABOUT MAN, DID YOU
- 00:03:17.887 --> 00:03:21.257
- SEE WHEN MOSES SAW THAT RED SEA PART?
- 00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:23.493
- DID YOU SEE WHEN MOSES BROUGHT THOSE
- 00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:25.995
- TABLETS DOWN?
- 00:03:25.995 --> 00:03:27.230
- AND MAN, HE GOT A LITTLE TICKED OFF AND HE BROKE
- 00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:29.232
- SOME OF THOSE THE FIRST TIME.
- 00:03:29.232 --> 00:03:30.433
- I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE BEEN TALKING THAT, BUT HE
- 00:03:30.433 --> 00:03:33.336
- WOULD NOT HAVE FULFILLED THE WILL OF GOD FOR HIS
- 00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:36.439
- GENERATION HAD HE NOT BEEN WILLING TO
- 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.941
- EMBRACE CHANGE.
- 00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:40.176
- WE'RE IN AN INTERESTING TIME ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.
- 00:03:40.176 --> 00:03:43.012
- I SAY THE SPIRITUAL TECTONIC PLATES HAVE SHIFTED.
- 00:03:43.012 --> 00:03:46.549
- THE LORD SAYS, BEHOLD, I DO A NEW THING.
- 00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:48.051
- IT'S A NEW DAY.
- 00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:49.452
- SITTING AROUND TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAS GONE
- 00:03:49.452 --> 00:03:52.255
- BEFORE, BAD AND GOOD-- I WAS WITH A COUPLE OF MY
- 00:03:52.255 --> 00:03:55.058
- TEAM MEMBERS, AND WE WERE LISTENING TO A PODCAST AS
- 00:03:55.058 --> 00:03:57.627
- WE WERE PREPARING FOR THIS SHOW.
- 00:03:57.627 --> 00:03:58.995
- AND ONE OF MY TEAM JUST GOES YOU KNOW, IT'S SO
- 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:01.898
- AMAZING THAT THEY'RE JUST SITTING THERE ON THIS
- 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:03.766
- PODCAST TALKING THIS OTHER PODCAST THAT WAS
- 00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:07.203
- TALKING ABOUT THIS OTHER THING THAT ACTUALLY
- 00:04:07.203 --> 00:04:09.639
- FINISHED NINE OR TEN YEARS AGO.
- 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.175
- AND IMAGINE SPENDING YOUR WHOLE LIFE GOING THROUGH
- 00:04:12.175 --> 00:04:14.877
- MULTIPLE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS TALKING SOMETHING
- 00:04:14.877 --> 00:04:16.779
- THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.
- 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:19.048
- AND THAT WOULD SUGGEST AN ABSENCE OF HAVING
- 00:04:19.048 --> 00:04:20.616
- ANYTHING TO LIVE FOR IN THE PRESENT AND
- 00:04:20.616 --> 00:04:22.618
- THE FUTURE.
- 00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:24.320
- YOU SEE, JOSHUA HAD TO DECIDE THAT HE HAD TO
- 00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:25.722
- EMBRACE THE NEW SEASON.
- 00:04:25.722 --> 00:04:27.557
- HE HAD TO CHANGE TO STEP INTO HIS NEW ROLE
- 00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:29.859
- AS THE LEADER.
- 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:31.494
- HE HAD TO BE PREPARED TO LEAVE OLD METHODS BEHIND,
- 00:04:31.494 --> 00:04:34.864
- TO LEAVE BASICALLY OLD SYSTEMS BEHIND.
- 00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:38.868
- HE HAD TO LEARN TO INTERACT IN NEW WAYS WITH
- 00:04:38.868 --> 00:04:41.671
- THE PEOPLE.
- 00:04:41.671 --> 00:04:43.039
- HE WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
- 00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:44.140
- NOW HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE PEOPLE.
- 00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:45.541
- YOU KNOW, SO MANY OF US WE MISS OUT ON WHAT GOD
- 00:04:45.541 --> 00:04:48.878
- HAS FOR US AND WE MISS OUT ON THE GOOD SUCCESS
- 00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:51.147
- GOD HAS FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE UNWILLING TO
- 00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:53.916
- EMBRACE CHANGE.
- 00:04:53.916 --> 00:04:55.651
- YOU KNOW, THE THING I'VE DISCOVERED LET ME JUST
- 00:04:55.651 --> 00:04:58.287
- SAY AS A 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN, THE THING ABOUT
- 00:04:58.287 --> 00:05:01.157
- CHANGE, GUYS, THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH OR
- 00:05:01.157 --> 00:05:03.793
- WITHOUT US.
- 00:05:03.793 --> 00:05:05.928
- OUR HUMAN NATURE AND SPECIALLY THE OLDER YOU
- 00:05:05.928 --> 00:05:08.664
- GET IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, OUR HUMAN NATURE
- 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:11.601
- IT RESISTS CHANGE, AND YET IT'S INEVITABLE THAT
- 00:05:11.601 --> 00:05:15.004
- IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
- 00:05:15.004 --> 00:05:16.339
- AND IT'S THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE.
- 00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:19.842
- YOU AND I HAVE TO STAY COMMITTED TO GROWING AND
- 00:05:19.842 --> 00:05:22.645
- TO CHANGING.
- 00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:24.313
- I THINK ALL AROUND US WE LOOK AND SEE THAT
- 00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:26.048
- TECHNOLOGY CHANGES.
- 00:05:26.048 --> 00:05:27.617
- WE SEE THAT FASHION CHANGES.
- 00:05:27.617 --> 00:05:29.552
- NOW SOME OF YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT.
- 00:05:29.552 --> 00:05:31.487
- YOU DO NEED TO REALIZE THAT FASHION HAS CHANGED.
- 00:05:31.487 --> 00:05:34.090
- WE'RE NOT LIVING BACK IN THE OLD DAYS.
- 00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:35.858
- WE'RE LIVING IN NOW.
- 00:05:35.858 --> 00:05:37.193
- I LOVE MY DAUGHTERS.
- 00:05:37.193 --> 00:05:38.394
- THEY'RE LIKE MOM, YOU'RE NOT WEARING THAT.
- 00:05:38.394 --> 00:05:40.129
- MOM, YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THIS.
- 00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:41.831
- I'M GRATEFUL.
- 00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:42.899
- I'M GRATEFUL THAT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS ARE
- 00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:44.634
- SAYING LOOK, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WEAR WHAT WAS
- 00:05:44.634 --> 00:05:46.536
- COOL IN THE 1980'S.
- 00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:47.804
- THEY CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE ANYONE WAS ON THE EARTH
- 00:05:47.804 --> 00:05:49.939
- IN THE 1980'S.
- 00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:51.441
- DO YOU REMEMBER WE HAD FARRAH FAWCETT PERMED HAIR
- 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:54.811
- AND TAFFETA, AND MY DAUGHTERS ARE LIKE YOU'RE
- 00:05:54.811 --> 00:05:56.679
- NOT WEARING TAFFETA, MOM, AND YOU'RE NOT PERMING
- 00:05:56.679 --> 00:05:58.114
- YOUR HAIR SO THAT'S JUST NOT COOL.
- 00:05:58.114 --> 00:05:59.882
- SO FASHION CHANGES.
- 00:05:59.882 --> 00:06:01.050
- SOCIETY CHANGES SO WE MUST MAKE SURE WE'RE
- 00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:04.487
- COMMITTED TO GROWING AND CHANGING SO THAT WE DON'T
- 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:07.890
- BECOME STAGNATE.
- 00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:09.659
- ALL GROWING THINGS CHANGE.
- 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.960
- ALL CHANGING THINGS GROW.
- 00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:13.029
- AND THINGS THAT CHANGE THINGS ARE GROWING
- 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:14.697
- AND CHANGING.
- 00:06:14.697 --> 00:06:16.265
- SO YOU AND I WE'RE ON A FAITH ADVENTURE
- 00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:18.701
- WITH JESUS.
- 00:06:18.701 --> 00:06:19.836
- LET'S EMBRACE THAT ADVENTURE US, AWE FILLED,
- 00:06:19.836 --> 00:06:23.339
- FAITH FILLED LIFE THAT HE HAS FOR YOU.
- 00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:26.742
- SOME OF YOU WATCHING THIS TODAY, IT'S JUST TIME,
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:30.046
- TIME TO STEP INTO THE FAITH ADVENTURE.
- 00:06:30.046 --> 00:06:33.649
- EMBRACE CHANGE.
- 00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:34.917
- DON'T FEAR CHANGE.
- 00:06:34.917 --> 00:06:36.385
- STEP INTO CHANGE AND MOVE WITH GOD.
- 00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:38.688
- YOU WANT TO BE WHERE GOD IS.
- 00:06:38.688 --> 00:06:41.090
- I WANT TO BE GOING WHEREVER GOD IS, EVEN IF
- 00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:43.693
- IT FEELS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME OR A
- 00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:45.561
- LITTLE STRANGE FOR ME.
- 00:06:45.561 --> 00:06:47.163
- I WANT TO BE WHERE GOD IS.
- 00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:49.031
- YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING I'VE OBSERVED ABOUT
- 00:06:49.031 --> 00:06:52.568
- PEOPLE WHO END UP LEADING SUCCESSFUL AND
- 00:06:52.568 --> 00:06:55.071
- FLOURISHING LIVES, AND THIS IS A BIG ONE, IS
- 00:06:55.071 --> 00:06:57.640
- THEY TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR
- 00:06:57.640 --> 00:07:00.710
- THEIR LIVES.
- 00:07:00.710 --> 00:07:02.144
- YOU SEE, YOU CAN NOT HAVE GREAT SUCCESS IN LIFE IF
- 00:07:02.144 --> 00:07:05.481
- YOU'RE GOING TO BLAME EVERYBODY ELSE FOR YOUR
- 00:07:05.481 --> 00:07:07.617
- LOT IN LIFE.
- 00:07:07.617 --> 00:07:09.218
- AND WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BOOK OF
- 00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:12.488
- GENESIS IN THE SCRIPTURE AND SEE THE ORIGIN OF NOT
- 00:07:12.488 --> 00:07:16.492
- TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
- 00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:18.694
- YOU KNOW, RIGHT THERE IN GENESIS 3: 12
- 00:07:18.694 --> 00:07:21.163
- WHEN GOD QUESTIONED ADAM ABOUT EATING THE FRUIT,
- 00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:25.301
- ADAM REPLIED IN GENESIS 3: 12, OF COURSE I LOVE
- 00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:28.170
- THIS SCRIPTURE.
- 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.805
- I'VE GOT IT MEMORIZED.
- 00:07:29.805 --> 00:07:31.407
- WHAT WOMAN HAS IT?
- 00:07:31.407 --> 00:07:33.009
- [ READING VERSE ]
- 00:07:33.109 --> 00:07:41.417
- DID YOU SEE THAT?
- 00:07:41.884 --> 00:07:43.119
- ACTUALLY ADAM IN THAT ONE SENTENCE BLAMED 2 PEOPLE,
- 00:07:43.119 --> 00:07:46.355
- HE BLAMED GOD AND THE WOMAN.
- 00:07:46.355 --> 00:07:48.257
- THE WOMAN WHOM YOU GAVE TO ME.
- 00:07:48.257 --> 00:07:52.161
- SO I MEAN YOU'VE GOT TO BE PRETTY COURAGEOUS IF
- 00:07:52.161 --> 00:07:54.463
- YOU ARE GOING TO BE BLAMING GOD.
- 00:07:54.463 --> 00:07:56.065
- SO SAYING GOD, GAVE ME THE WOMAN THEN SHE, THEN
- 00:07:56.065 --> 00:07:58.568
- HE BLAMED EVE FORGIVING HIM THE FRUIT.
- 00:07:58.568 --> 00:08:01.504
- NOW WHAT WAS FUNNY WAS EVE ALSO BLAMED THE SNAKE.
- 00:08:01.504 --> 00:08:05.474
- AND YOU KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THE JOKE THE SNAKE DIDN'T
- 00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:07.877
- HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON, SO THE BLAME GAME STARTED
- 00:08:07.877 --> 00:08:10.947
- RIGHT THERE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, AND THAT BLAME GAME
- 00:08:10.947 --> 00:08:14.150
- CONTINUES TO THIS VERY DAY.
- 00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:16.485
- I KNOW, I KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLY
- 00:08:16.485 --> 00:08:20.189
- UNJUST AND UNFAIR, BROKEN, AND FALLEN WORLD.
- 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:25.394
- I KNOW IT'S MORE THAN MOST.
- 00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:26.762
- I DO MY BEST EVERY SINGLE DAY TO HELP FIGHT
- 00:08:26.762 --> 00:08:29.732
- AGAINST INJUSTICE AS
- 00:08:29.732 --> 00:08:31.167
- WE HELP TO RESCUE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN
- 00:08:31.167 --> 00:08:34.070
- TRAFFICKING THROUGH OUR WORK AT A21.
- 00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:35.671
- AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US AS JESUS FOLLOWERS
- 00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:38.774
- NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE AND TO SEE
- 00:08:38.774 --> 00:08:42.278
- JUSTICE PREVAIL, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO REALIZE THAT
- 00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:45.348
- THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN WE EACH HAVE TO MAKE
- 00:08:45.348 --> 00:08:48.918
- A DECISION TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR
- 00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:50.987
- OWN LIVES AND TO STOP WAITING FOR ALL OF THE
- 00:08:50.987 --> 00:08:54.624
- PLANETS TO ALIGN BECAUSE, GUESS WHAT?
- 00:08:54.624 --> 00:08:56.959
- THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY IN EVERY PLACE AT ALL TIMES,
- 00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:03.299
- THE PLANETS ARE NOT GOING TO ALWAYS ALIGN.
- 00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.801
- THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A FALLEN WORLD FULL OF
- 00:09:05.801 --> 00:09:09.505
- INJUSTICE AND PAIN AND SUFFERING.
- 00:09:09.505 --> 00:09:11.607
- SO DEUTERONOMY 31:19 SAYS YOU'RE GOING TO GET
- 00:09:11.607 --> 00:09:15.778
- TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING
- 00:09:15.778 --> 00:09:17.346
- AND CURSING.
- 00:09:17.346 --> 00:09:18.414
- CHOOSE LIFE SO THAT YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS
- 00:09:18.414 --> 00:09:21.417
- CAN LIVE.
- 00:09:21.417 --> 00:09:22.952
- YOU SEE, YOU AND I WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE
- 00:09:22.952 --> 00:09:24.654
- PAST, BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE.
- 00:09:24.654 --> 00:09:28.124
- WE HAVE TO CHOOSE THAT FROM THIS MOMENT ON I'M
- 00:09:28.124 --> 00:09:31.761
- PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY LIFE AND CHOICES.
- 00:09:31.761 --> 00:09:35.231
- I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT
- 00:09:35.231 --> 00:09:37.767
- BECAUSE OF THE REDEMPTIVE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST AT
- 00:09:37.767 --> 00:09:41.037
- THE CROSS OF CALVARY, I CAN MAKE WHAT JESUS DID
- 00:09:41.037 --> 00:09:43.939
- FOR ME BIGGER THAN WHAT ANYONE ELSE DID TO ME.
- 00:09:43.939 --> 00:09:47.309
- I CAN MAKE WHAT JESUS DID FOR ME AT CALVARY BIGGER
- 00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:50.079
- THAN WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAID ABOUT ME.
- 00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:52.348
- I CAN CHOOSE TO ALLOW THE REDEMPTIVE WORK OF JESUS
- 00:09:52.348 --> 00:09:56.052
- TO HAVE THE PRIORITY ON MY LIFE.
- 00:09:56.052 --> 00:09:57.987
- THAT DOESN'T MAKE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME RIGHT.
- 00:09:57.987 --> 00:10:00.556
- THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE IT.
- 00:10:00.556 --> 00:10:01.891
- THAT DOESN'T MINIMIZE IT.
- 00:10:01.891 --> 00:10:03.292
- THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE HAS' BEEN TRAUMA HAS BEEN
- 00:10:03.292 --> 00:10:05.728
- INCURRED BECAUSE OF IT.
- 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:07.630
- THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S NOT THINGS I HAVE TO WORK
- 00:10:07.630 --> 00:10:09.732
- THROUGH, BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT I HAVE HOPE
- 00:10:09.732 --> 00:10:11.801
- OF FREEDOM.
- 00:10:11.801 --> 00:10:13.102
- I CAN CHOOSE TO LOVE.
- 00:10:13.102 --> 00:10:14.336
- I CAN CHOOSE TO FORGIVE AND BE LONG SUFFERING.
- 00:10:14.336 --> 00:10:17.073
- I CAN CHOOSE TO BE PATIENT AND TO BE KIND.
- 00:10:17.073 --> 00:10:19.341
- I CAN CHOOSE TO BE GENTLE.
- 00:10:19.341 --> 00:10:20.776
- I CAN CHOOSE TO EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL.
- 00:10:20.776 --> 00:10:23.312
- IN CHRIST I HAVE AGENCY FILLED WITH THE POWER OF
- 00:10:23.312 --> 00:10:27.416
- THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:10:27.416 --> 00:10:28.718
- I HAVE AGENCY AND I CAN CHOOSE.
- 00:10:28.718 --> 00:10:32.588
- I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I CAN
- 00:10:32.588 --> 00:10:36.425
- MAKE CHOICES.
- 00:10:36.425 --> 00:10:39.829
- - SOMETIMES WE ALL FEEL CRUSHED BENEATH THE
- 00:10:39.829 --> 00:10:42.498
- BURDENS OF LIFE.
- 00:10:42.498 --> 00:10:43.966
- WHETHER IT'S A FINANCIAL CRISIS, A MEDICAL
- 00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:46.602
- DIAGNOSIS OR RELATIONSHIP TENSIONS, WHEN YOU FIND
- 00:10:46.602 --> 00:10:50.406
- YOURSELF STRUGGLING JUST TO MAKE IT THROUGH EACH
- 00:10:50.406 --> 00:10:53.409
- DAY, CLING TO THIS PROMISE.
- 00:10:53.409 --> 00:10:55.144
- GOD HAS BETTER THINGS IN STORE FOR YOU.
- 00:10:55.144 --> 00:10:58.481
- HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FEEL STUCK IN SURVIVAL
- 00:10:58.481 --> 00:11:00.983
- MODE OR HOPELESS ABOUT YOUR PURPOSE AND CALLING.
- 00:11:00.983 --> 00:11:03.619
- HE WANTS YOU TO THRIVE.
- 00:11:03.619 --> 00:11:07.089

- ABUNDANT LIFE YOU WERE CREATED FOR.
- 00:12:34.977 --> 00:12:42.685
- - THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE
- 00:12:43.786 --> 00:12:48.591
- PURPOSES OF GOD, WE MUST, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US
- 00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:52.695
- BE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE THAT IT TAKES TO
- 00:12:52.695 --> 00:12:56.665
- FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF GOD.
- 00:12:56.665 --> 00:12:59.368
- YOU KNOW, IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE CHAPTER 14,
- 00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:03.005
- VERSE 28, WE READ ...
- 00:13:03.005 --> 00:13:16.785
- - YOU AND I HAVE TO REALIZE BEHIND EVERY
- 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.355
- ACHIEVEMENT THERE WAS A PRICE THAT WAS PAID.
- 00:13:19.355 --> 00:13:22.024
- IT INVOLVED A MYRIAD OF THINGS.
- 00:13:22.024 --> 00:13:24.260
- IT COULD HAVE BEEN EDUCATION OR TRAINING OR
- 00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:27.129
- PRACTICE OR DISCIPLINE OR SACRIFICE.
- 00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:29.832
- YOU KNOW, I ONCE READ IN THE USA TODAY THAT THE
- 00:13:29.832 --> 00:13:34.737
- AVERAGE OLYMPIAN TRAINS 4 HOURS A DAY AT LEAST
- 00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:40.442
- 310 DAYS A YEAR FOR SIX YEARS BEFORE THEY SUCCEED
- 00:13:40.442 --> 00:13:45.748
- AT THE OLYMPICS.
- 00:13:45.748 --> 00:13:47.116
- ALL THOSE PEOPLE WE JUST WATCHED AT THE OLYMPICS
- 00:13:47.116 --> 00:13:50.953
- IN JAPAN, THAT WAS MINIMUM.
- 00:13:50.953 --> 00:13:52.621
- GETTING BETTER BEGINS BY WORKING OUT EVERY DAY.
- 00:13:52.621 --> 00:13:55.357
- BY 7 AM THIS ARTICLE SAID MOST ATHLETES HAD DONE
- 00:13:55.357 --> 00:13:59.161
- MORE THAN MANY PEOPLE DO ALL DAY.
- 00:13:59.161 --> 00:14:01.931
- THAT JUST BLEW MY MIND.
- 00:14:01.931 --> 00:14:03.499
- GIVEN EQUAL TALENT, THE BETTER TRAINED ATHLETE
- 00:14:03.499 --> 00:14:06.535
- CAN GENERALLY OUTPERFORM THE ONE THAT DIDN'T GIVE
- 00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:10.639
- A SERIOUS EFFORT, AND THAT PERSON ALSO IS
- 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.010
- USUALLY FAR MORE CONFIDENT IN THE
- 00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:16.378
- STARTING BLOCKS.
- 00:14:16.378 --> 00:14:17.813
- SO IN THE FOUR YEARS BEFORE AN OLYMPICS,
- 00:14:17.813 --> 00:14:21.050
- GREG LOUGANIS PROBABLY PRACTICED EACH ONE OF HIS
- 00:14:21.050 --> 00:14:23.619
- DIVES AT LEAST 3.000 TIMES.
- 00:14:23.619 --> 00:14:26.956
- KIM ZMESKAL HAS PROBABLY DONE EVERY FLIP IN HER
- 00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:29.658
- GYMNASTICS ROUTINE AT LEAST 20.000 TIMES, AND
- 00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:32.461
- THIS SHOWS YOU THAT THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY TO
- 00:14:32.461 --> 00:14:36.865
- BE SUCCESSFUL IN ANY TRADE, ANY CRAFT OR
- 00:14:36.865 --> 00:14:40.436
- ANY PROFESSION.
- 00:14:40.436 --> 00:14:42.371
- TO FOLLOW JESUS FAITHFULLY AND TO FULFILL
- 00:14:42.371 --> 00:14:45.908
- OUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE, WE HAVE TO BE WILLING TO PAY
- 00:14:45.908 --> 00:14:50.245
- THE PRICE.
- 00:14:50.245 --> 00:14:51.347
- I KNOW IN OUR CULTURE WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 00:14:51.347 --> 00:14:53.716
- EASY WAYS.
- 00:14:53.716 --> 00:14:54.616
- WE'RE LOOKING FOR SHORTCUTS.
- 00:14:54.616 --> 00:14:56.185
- WE WANT THE FASTEST WAY.
- 00:14:56.185 --> 00:14:57.886
- AND WHEN WE'VE GROWN UP IN A WORLD OF INFLUENCERS
- 00:14:57.886 --> 00:14:59.989
- AND OVERNIGHT SUCCESS AND WHAT CAN I DO TO JUST GET
- 00:14:59.989 --> 00:15:03.292
- OUT THERE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE?
- 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:04.560
- BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THERE IS NO EASY WAY.
- 00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:07.963
- THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS.
- 00:15:07.963 --> 00:15:10.099
- THERE IS A PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID BUT CAN I
- 00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:13.869
- ALSO TELL YOU AFTER OVER 3 DECADES OF FOLLOWING
- 00:15:13.869 --> 00:15:17.139
- JESUS THE PRICE IS SO WORTH IT.
- 00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:20.409
- THE PRICE IS SO WORTH IT, AND THE REWARD
- 00:15:20.409 --> 00:15:24.380
- IS ETERNAL.
- 00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:26.148
- IN LUKE 9: 57 TO 62, JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT
- 00:15:26.148 --> 00:15:33.122
- THE PRICE AND THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP.
- 00:15:33.122 --> 00:15:36.558
- HE SAYS ...
- 00:15:36.558 --> 00:15:46.035
- NO ONE.
- 00:15:46.368 --> 00:15:49.571
- YOU SEE, IT TAKES 100% COMMITMENT TO FOLLOW
- 00:15:47.970 --> 00:15:53.142
- JESUS FAITHFULLY.
- 00:15:53.142 --> 00:15:54.643
- IN ORDER TO MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS AND HAVE GOOD
- 00:15:54.643 --> 00:15:57.212
- SUCCESS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE NO PLAN B.
- 00:15:57.212 --> 00:16:02.751
- THAT'S THE GREATEST THING I CAN TELL A GENERATION.
- 00:16:02.751 --> 00:16:04.920
- YOU'VE GOT TO BE ALL IN.
- 00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:07.456
- YOU SEE, A LOT OF US MAN, WE'VE GOT OUR OPTIONS AND
- 00:16:07.456 --> 00:16:09.458
- BECAUSE WE SORT OF COME FROM A TINDER CULTURE OR
- 00:16:09.458 --> 00:16:12.294
- SOME SORT OF KIND OF LIFE HOOK-UP CULTURE.
- 00:16:12.294 --> 00:16:16.165
- I NEED MY OPTIONS OPEN, MAN.
- 00:16:16.165 --> 00:16:17.866
- I NEED A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHOICES FOR TONIGHT.
- 00:16:17.866 --> 00:16:20.102
- I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A DECISION TOO SOON.
- 00:16:20.102 --> 00:16:22.204
- IT DOESN'T GO LIKE THAT WITH JESUS.
- 00:16:22.204 --> 00:16:24.173
- YOU GOT TO BE ALL IN.
- 00:16:24.173 --> 00:16:27.076
- SEE, JOSHUA DIDN'T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.
- 00:16:27.076 --> 00:16:29.945
- [ CHUCKLES ]
- 00:16:29.945 --> 00:16:31.547
- HE WAS ALL IN TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF GOD.
- 00:16:31.547 --> 00:16:34.983
- YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR OPTIONS OPEN AND
- 00:16:34.983 --> 00:16:37.886
- FOLLOW JESUS WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
- 00:16:37.886 --> 00:16:41.990
- A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT A CHRISTIANITY OF
- 00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:43.692
- CONVENIENCE AND NOT A CHRISTIANITY
- 00:16:43.692 --> 00:16:46.095
- OF CONVICTION.
- 00:16:46.095 --> 00:16:48.497
- WE WANT SERVING GOD TO FIT IN WITH OUR LIFESTYLE
- 00:16:48.497 --> 00:16:51.467
- BUT JESUS JUST NEVER GIVES US THAT OPTION.
- 00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:56.171
- FOLLOWING JESUS IS AN ALL OF LIFE COMMITMENT.
- 00:16:56.171 --> 00:17:00.075
- IF WE THINK 99.9%
- 00:17:00.075 --> 00:17:03.946
- IS GOOD ENOUGH I JUST WANT YOU, I WANT YOU TO
- 00:17:03.946 --> 00:17:07.149
- THINK ABOUT THESE SCENARIOS I'M GOING TO
- 00:17:07.149 --> 00:17:10.853
- MENTION, AND TELL ME IF YOU HOPE THAT
- 00:17:10.853 --> 00:17:15.557
- 99.9%, LET'S GO AS FAR AS 99.9%
- 00:17:15.557 --> 00:17:18.794
- IS GOOD ENOUGH IN THESE WORK SITUATIONS.
- 00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:25.501
- I'M PERSONALLY REALLY GLAD THAT WE'RE INVITED
- 00:17:25.501 --> 00:17:29.738
- TO BE ALL IN WHEN IT COMES TO JESUS BECAUSE
- 00:17:29.738 --> 00:17:32.808
- LISTEN, IN SO MANY AREAS OF LIFE A 99% COMMITMENT
- 00:17:32.808 --> 00:17:36.311
- WOULD BE DISASTROUS.
- 00:17:36.311 --> 00:17:38.981
- DO YOU REALIZE IF WE SAID 99% IS OKAY, MAN, I'M OKAY.
- 00:17:38.981 --> 00:17:44.486
- I'M IN FOR 99%, THERE WOULD BE 2 UNSAFE
- 00:17:44.486 --> 00:17:47.322
- LANDINGS AT O'HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
- 00:17:47.322 --> 00:17:50.392
- EVERY DAY.
- 00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:52.127
- THERE WOULD BE 16.000 LOST PIECES OF MAIL
- 00:17:52.127 --> 00:17:54.696
- PER HOUR.
- 00:17:54.696 --> 00:17:57.099
- THERE WOULD BE 20.000 INCORRECTLY FILLED IN
- 00:17:57.099 --> 00:17:59.535
- DRUG PRESCRIPTIONS EVERY YEAR.
- 00:17:59.535 --> 00:18:02.538
- THERE WOULD BE 500 INCORRECT SURGICAL
- 00:18:02.538 --> 00:18:05.274
- PROCEDURES PER WEEK.
- 00:18:05.274 --> 00:18:07.576
- THERE WOULD BE 50 NEW BORN BABIES DROPPED AT
- 00:18:07.576 --> 00:18:11.180
- BIRTH BY DOCTORS EVERY DAY.
- 00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:13.382
- THERE WOULD BE 22.000 CHECKS DEDUCTED FROM
- 00:18:13.382 --> 00:18:16.618
- WRONG ACCOUNTS EVERY HOUR.
- 00:18:16.618 --> 00:18:19.488
- AND OUR HEARTS WOULD FAIL TO BEAT 32.000 TIMES
- 00:18:19.488 --> 00:18:23.959
- EACH YEAR.
- 00:18:23.959 --> 00:18:26.495
- KIND OF WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT,
- 00:18:26.495 --> 00:18:28.664
- AREN'T YOU GLAD WE GO FOR 100%?
- 00:18:28.664 --> 00:18:31.767
- IF YOU AND I ARE GOING TO LIVE THE ABUNDANT
- 00:18:31.767 --> 00:18:34.169
- FLOURISHING PASSIONATE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIVES
- 00:18:34.169 --> 00:18:37.139
- WE'VE BEEN CALLED TO LIVE AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS,
- 00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:41.510
- THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE 100% COMMITTED TO
- 00:18:41.510 --> 00:18:44.580
- FOLLOWING JESUS WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
- 00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:46.281
- YOU KNOW, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THERE'S GOT TO
- 00:18:46.281 --> 00:18:49.585
- BE NO PLAN B, AND IN OUR WORLD OF OPTIONS AND PLAN
- 00:18:49.585 --> 00:18:53.589
- B'S, C'S, D'S, E'S, F, G, H, I, JESUS DOESN'T
- 00:18:53.589 --> 00:18:58.460
- GIVE US THAT OPTION.
- 00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:01.463
- HE DOESN'T SAY ME AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER DOORS.
- 00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:04.933
- HE SAID IF ANY MAN, ANY MAN IS GOING TO COME UP
- 00:19:04.933 --> 00:19:08.570
- AFTER ME, HE'S GOT TO DENY HIMSELF, TAKE UP HIS
- 00:19:08.570 --> 00:19:10.872
- CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.
- 00:19:10.872 --> 00:19:13.408
- AND YOU KNOW, I WANT TO SPEAK THE WORDS THAT GOD
- 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:16.545
- SPOKE TO JOSHUA ON THIS VERY SIGNIFICANT DAY.
- 00:19:16.545 --> 00:19:20.449
- IN JOSHUA CHAPTER 1, HE SAID ...
- 00:19:20.449 --> 00:19:43.605
- - I FIRST READ THOSE WORDS ABOUT THREE
- 00:19:44.473 --> 00:19:47.542
- DECADES AGO.
- 00:19:47.542 --> 00:19:50.012
- IT WAS SO TRANSFORMATIVE FOR ME, A GIRL THAT HAD
- 00:19:50.012 --> 00:19:52.848
- BEEN LEFT IN A HOSPITAL UNNAMED AND WANTED, A
- 00:19:52.848 --> 00:19:55.083
- GIRL THAT HAD BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED FOR SO
- 00:19:55.083 --> 00:19:57.786
- MANY YEARS, GREW UP MARGINALIZED BECAUSE OF
- 00:19:57.786 --> 00:20:00.522
- MY ETHNICITY AND BECAUSE OF MY GENDER.
- 00:20:00.522 --> 00:20:03.292
- I HAD GROWN UP TO THINK WELL, THIS IS JUST HOW
- 00:20:03.292 --> 00:20:06.728
- LIFE IS.
- 00:20:06.728 --> 00:20:08.463
- GIRLS LIKE ME NEVER END UP LIKE ANYTHING.
- 00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:10.599
- YOU KNOW, I GUESS THAT'S JUST IT, AND REALLY I
- 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.668
- FELT LIKE I HAD A SIGN ON MY HEAD, THERE'S
- 00:20:12.668 --> 00:20:14.703
- SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.
- 00:20:14.703 --> 00:20:16.338
- THAT'S WHY I WAS ABUSED AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S
- 00:20:16.338 --> 00:20:18.173
- SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME, THAT'S WHY MY BIOLOGICAL
- 00:20:18.173 --> 00:20:20.876
- MOTHER DIDN'T WANT ME AND DIDN'T GIVE ME A NAME AND
- 00:20:20.876 --> 00:20:23.578
- I WAS LEFT IN A HOSPITAL.
- 00:20:23.578 --> 00:20:25.247
- THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.
- 00:20:25.247 --> 00:20:26.648
- THAT'S WHY ALL THE AUSTRALIAN
- 00:20:26.648 --> 00:20:29.551
- KIDS DIDN'T LIKE ME BAYS, YOU KNOW, I WAS GREEK.
- 00:20:29.551 --> 00:20:31.687
- AND THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME BECAUSE I'M
- 00:20:31.687 --> 00:20:33.722
- A GIRL AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A BOY AND ALL THE
- 00:20:33.722 --> 00:20:36.124
- BOYS, SPECIALLY WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, GOT TO
- 00:20:36.124 --> 00:20:37.926
- HAVE ALL THE GOOD FUN.
- 00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:40.896
- AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS THE POINT?
- 00:20:40.896 --> 00:20:42.931
- SO I JUST THOUGHT LIKE SO MANY OF YOU THINK ON THE
- 00:20:42.931 --> 00:20:45.334
- OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THIS IS JUST LIFE AND I
- 00:20:45.334 --> 00:20:47.669
- GUESS I JUST GOT DEALT THE WRONG DECK OF CARDS.
- 00:20:47.669 --> 00:20:51.673
- [ CHUCKLES ] AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
- 00:20:51.673 --> 00:20:54.076
- AND SO MANY OF US IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH THAT'S
- 00:20:54.076 --> 00:20:56.578
- WHAT WE THINK.
- 00:20:56.578 --> 00:20:58.547
- IT'S LIKE WELL, THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS.
- 00:20:58.547 --> 00:21:00.148
- BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT'S NOT JUST HOW IT IS.

- 00:21:06.021 --> 00:21:09.725
- WE HAVE MORE CHOICE AND AGENCY THAN WE THINK.
- 00:21:09.725 --> 00:21:12.694
- OUR HISTORY DOES NOT NEED TO DEFINE OUR DESTINY.
- 00:21:12.694 --> 00:21:17.566
- WE DON'T JUST HAVE TO SUBMIT AND YIELD TO
- 00:21:17.566 --> 00:21:21.169
- CULTURAL NORMS AND THIS IS JUST THE WAY IT IS
- 00:21:21.169 --> 00:21:24.606
- BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY EVERYONE'S DONE IT, THAT
- 00:21:24.606 --> 00:21:27.409
- IF WE BUILD OUR LIFE ON THE TRUTH OF THIS WORD,
- 00:21:27.409 --> 00:21:30.946

- OUR LIVES CAN FLOURISH, WHATEVER THAT MEANS,
- 00:21:47.195 --> 00:21:50.198
- WHEREVER WE ARE.
- 00:21:50.198 --> 00:21:51.933
- IT'S ALL RELATIVE MATERIALLY SPEAKING
- 00:21:51.933 --> 00:21:54.569
- AROUND THE WORLD.
- 00:21:54.569 --> 00:21:56.438
- BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FREEDOM, WHEN IT COMES TO
- 00:21:56.438 --> 00:21:58.774
