Our story, the gospel story

Is built on life and love.
00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:12.969
I think we've got to get back to that.
00:00:12.969 --> 00:00:14.971
Listen, i don't know how many more years i have on the planet
00:00:14.971 --> 00:00:17.140
But i'm not going to spend it being angry.
00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.209
I'm not going to spend it being divisive.
00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:21.244
I'm not going to spend it being a cynic.
00:00:21.244 --> 00:00:23.446
I'm looking for the best in the human soul.
00:00:23.446 --> 00:00:25.515
I'm going to draw the best out of people.
00:00:25.515 --> 00:00:27.517

Brady: thank you, randy. it is always a joy to be with you.
00:01:27.710 --> 00:01:28.811
It is always a joy to be with you. we tend to laugh a lot
00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:29.946
To be with you. we tend to laugh a lot when we're together.
00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:31.080
We tend to laugh a lot when we're together. randy: yeah,
00:01:31.147 --> 00:01:32.215
When we're together. randy: yeah, they're good conversations.
00:01:32.282 --> 00:01:33.349
Randy: yeah, they're good conversations. okay, so eight practices
00:01:33.416 --> 00:01:34.484
They're good conversations. okay, so eight practices for belonging to god.
00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:35.618
Okay, so eight practices for belonging to god. i love that. i love that.
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:36.853
For belonging to god. i love that. i love that. but what is this,
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:37.987
I love that. i love that. but what is this, "and each other" bit
00:01:38.054 --> 00:01:39.122
But what is this, "and each other" bit at the end of it.
00:01:39.189 --> 00:01:40.290
Go together.
00:01:41.558 --> 00:01:42.592
Go together. if you are a lover of god,
00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:43.726
If you are a lover of god, god knows you
00:01:43.793 --> 00:01:44.861
God knows you and you know god,
00:01:44.928 --> 00:01:45.995
And you know god, his first directive
00:01:46.062 --> 00:01:47.130
His first directive is for you to know
00:01:47.197 --> 00:01:48.264
So, i think the whole plan
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:53.203
So, i think the whole plan of the scriptures
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.237
So, i think the whole plan of the scriptures is for god to find us
00:01:54.304 --> 00:01:55.371
Of the scriptures is for god to find us and for god to put us
00:01:55.438 --> 00:01:56.639
Is for god to find us and for god to put us into a family.
00:01:56.706 --> 00:01:57.974
And for god to put us into a family. we call that the church,
00:01:58.041 --> 00:01:59.108
Into a family. we call that the church, we call that our family.
00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:00.210
We call that the church, we call that our family. but i do believe
00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:01.377
We call that our family. but i do believe we're in a season right now
00:02:01.444 --> 00:02:02.445
But i do believe we're in a season right now where we don't understand
00:02:02.512 --> 00:02:03.580
We're in a season right now where we don't understand we do belong to one another,
00:02:03.646 --> 00:02:05.281
Where we don't understand we do belong to one another, that we're a part
00:02:05.348 --> 00:02:06.583
We do belong to one another, that we're a part of a big messy family
00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:08.418
That we're a part of a big messy family called the church.
00:02:08.484 --> 00:02:09.819
Of a big messy family called the church. and it is imperfect,
00:02:09.886 --> 00:02:10.887
Called the church. and it is imperfect, it is messy,
00:02:10.954 --> 00:02:12.088
And it is imperfect, it is messy, it is sometimes painful,
00:02:12.155 --> 00:02:13.489
It is messy, it is sometimes painful, but it is still
00:02:13.556 --> 00:02:14.824
It is sometimes painful, but it is still the most powerful organism
00:02:14.891 --> 00:02:16.526
But it is still the most powerful organism on the planet today,
00:02:16.593 --> 00:02:18.094
The most powerful organism on the planet today, is the gathered church
00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:19.295
On the planet today, is the gathered church that worships jesus.
00:02:19.362 --> 00:02:20.430
Is the gathered church that worships jesus. i still believe in that.
00:02:20.496 --> 00:02:21.664
That worships jesus. i still believe in that. so, this book is an attempt
00:02:21.731 --> 00:02:22.799
I still believe in that. so, this book is an attempt to draw people back
00:02:22.865 --> 00:02:23.866
So, this book is an attempt to draw people back into that family,
00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:25.068
To draw people back into that family, to draw people back
00:02:25.134 --> 00:02:26.202
Into that family, to draw people back into that sacred community.
00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:27.337
To draw people back into that sacred community. i think church
00:02:27.403 --> 00:02:28.504
Into that sacred community. i think church should be sacred and safe.
00:02:28.571 --> 00:02:29.839
I think church should be sacred and safe. when church is sacred
00:02:29.906 --> 00:02:31.741
Should be sacred and safe. when church is sacred and when church is safe,
00:02:31.808 --> 00:02:33.309
When church is sacred and when church is safe, it is attractional
00:02:33.376 --> 00:02:35.445
And when church is safe, it is attractional right now to people.
00:02:35.511 --> 00:02:36.779
It is attractional right now to people. so, i wrote that book
00:02:36.846 --> 00:02:37.880
Right now to people. so, i wrote that book out of 35 years
00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:39.449
So, i wrote that book out of 35 years of leading the church,
00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:41.417
Out of 35 years of leading the church, loving the church,
00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:42.485
Of leading the church, loving the church, belonging to the church,
00:02:42.552 --> 00:02:44.087
Loving the church, belonging to the church, and also loving the lost.
00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:46.556
Belonging to the church, and also loving the lost. randy, i think
00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:47.824
And also loving the lost. randy, i think the church has to get back
00:02:47.890 --> 00:02:49.125
Randy, i think the church has to get back to its sacred responsibility
00:02:49.192 --> 00:02:50.827
The church has to get back to its sacred responsibility to go after those
00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:51.995
To its sacred responsibility to go after those in the highways and the hedges
00:02:52.061 --> 00:02:53.997
To go after those in the highways and the hedges that jesus said;
00:02:54.063 --> 00:02:55.198
In the highways and the hedges that jesus said; those that are out
00:02:55.265 --> 00:02:56.332
That jesus said; those that are out on the margins.
00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:57.533
Those that are out on the margins. so, i think the church
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:58.601
On the margins. so, i think the church has got to get back
00:02:58.668 --> 00:02:59.736
So, i think the church has got to get back to that assignment
00:02:59.802 --> 00:03:00.803
Has got to get back to that assignment and back to that mission.
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:01.904
To that assignment and back to that mission. randy: yeah, i recently talked
00:03:01.971 --> 00:03:03.006
And back to that mission. randy: yeah, i recently talked to a guy who literally
00:03:03.072 --> 00:03:04.207
Randy: yeah, i recently talked to a guy who literally walked around the world.
00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:05.375
To a guy who literally walked around the world. took him seven years.
00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:06.576
Walked around the world. took him seven years. i'm going, how did you eat?
00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:08.845
Took him seven years. i'm going, how did you eat? sleep? where did you stay?
00:03:08.911 --> 00:03:11.180
I'm going, how did you eat? sleep? where did you stay? he really started
00:03:11.247 --> 00:03:12.548
Sleep? where did you stay? he really started talking about, especially
00:03:12.615 --> 00:03:13.650
He really started talking about, especially in poor -- poor countries,
00:03:13.716 --> 00:03:16.286
Talking about, especially in poor -- poor countries, how people were hospitable.
00:03:16.352 --> 00:03:19.155
In poor -- poor countries, how people were hospitable. someone would come out
00:03:19.222 --> 00:03:20.356
How people were hospitable. someone would come out and say, "why are you camping
00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:21.658
Someone would come out and say, "why are you camping on my land?"
00:03:21.724 --> 00:03:22.725
And say, "why are you camping on my land?" and end up, well, come on in
00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:23.926
On my land?" and end up, well, come on in and have some tea
00:03:23.993 --> 00:03:25.295
And end up, well, come on in and have some tea or have a meal
00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:26.429
And have some tea or have a meal or maybe stay inside.
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:28.231
Or have a meal or maybe stay inside. i realized
00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:29.432
Or maybe stay inside. i realized how much our culture,
00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:31.234
I realized how much our culture, where i get up
00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:32.535
How much our culture, where i get up in the morning at my house,
00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:33.670
Where i get up in the morning at my house, i get in my car,
00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:34.837
In the morning at my house, i get in my car, i drive to work,
00:03:34.904 --> 00:03:36.072
I get in my car, i drive to work, and pass countless people
00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:37.473
I drive to work, and pass countless people in that drive
00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:38.908
And pass countless people in that drive and never see them,
00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:40.243
In that drive and never see them, never connect with them.
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:41.444
And never see them, never connect with them. it is a little bit cultural.
00:03:41.511 --> 00:03:42.812
Never connect with them. it is a little bit cultural. but we lack the connection
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.581
It is a little bit cultural. but we lack the connection that most of the world has
00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:47.283
But we lack the connection that most of the world has and most of history has had.
00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:49.585
That most of the world has and most of history has had. so, my question is
00:03:49.652 --> 00:03:51.054
And most of history has had. so, my question is if it is important god,
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.588
So, my question is if it is important god, and it is,
00:03:52.655 --> 00:03:54.057
If it is important god, and it is, how do we reestablish
00:03:54.123 --> 00:03:55.391
And it is, how do we reestablish that connection?
00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:56.559
How do we reestablish that connection? brady: well,
00:03:56.626 --> 00:03:57.694
That connection? brady: well, we have to get over
00:03:57.760 --> 00:03:58.828
Brady: well, we have to get over our fear of one another.
00:03:58.895 --> 00:04:00.029
We have to get over our fear of one another. and right now, social media,
00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:01.197
Our fear of one another. and right now, social media, every algorithm
00:04:01.264 --> 00:04:02.365
And right now, social media, every algorithm that is targeting you
00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:03.499
Every algorithm that is targeting you is trying to separate you
00:04:03.566 --> 00:04:04.600
That is targeting you is trying to separate you into tribes.
00:04:04.667 --> 00:04:05.702
Is trying to separate you into tribes. we're all being tribal.
00:04:05.768 --> 00:04:06.936
Into tribes. we're all being tribal. so, if you look at
00:04:07.003 --> 00:04:08.004
We're all being tribal. so, if you look at one social media thread
00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:09.038
So, if you look at one social media thread it is telling you
00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:10.206
One social media thread it is telling you that the other group is evil,
00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:11.307
It is telling you that the other group is evil, the other group is dangerous,
00:04:11.374 --> 00:04:12.575
That the other group is evil, the other group is dangerous, and to avoid them.
00:04:12.642 --> 00:04:13.876
The other group is dangerous, and to avoid them. and it is telling you
00:04:13.943 --> 00:04:15.011
And to avoid them. and it is telling you how perfect your group is.
00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:16.279
And it is telling you how perfect your group is. so, you're talking about
00:04:16.346 --> 00:04:17.580
How perfect your group is. so, you're talking about an algorithm that is targeting
00:04:17.647 --> 00:04:19.015
So, you're talking about an algorithm that is targeting the individual
00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:20.249
An algorithm that is targeting the individual to separate people that
00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:21.451
The individual to separate people that believe differently than you,
00:04:21.517 --> 00:04:23.219
To separate people that believe differently than you, that think differently
00:04:23.286 --> 00:04:24.520
Believe differently than you, that think differently than you.
00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:25.621
That think differently than you. so, we're being separated
00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:26.756
Than you. so, we're being separated into tribes, and we're told
00:04:26.823 --> 00:04:27.890
So, we're being separated into tribes, and we're told your only chance of survival
00:04:27.957 --> 00:04:29.192
Into tribes, and we're told your only chance of survival is to stay among your tribe,
00:04:29.258 --> 00:04:31.794
Your only chance of survival is to stay among your tribe, isolated among
00:04:31.861 --> 00:04:32.929
Is to stay among your tribe, isolated among a group of people
00:04:32.995 --> 00:04:34.130
Isolated among a group of people that are exactly like you.
00:04:34.197 --> 00:04:35.198
A group of people that are exactly like you. so that takes away
00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:36.299
That are exactly like you. so that takes away all the mystery
00:04:36.366 --> 00:04:37.400
So that takes away all the mystery of the human connection.
00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:38.434
All the mystery of the human connection. it takes away
00:04:38.501 --> 00:04:39.602
Of the human connection. it takes away the evangelistic fervor
00:04:39.669 --> 00:04:40.837
It takes away the evangelistic fervor that the church was built on.
00:04:40.903 --> 00:04:43.272
The evangelistic fervor that the church was built on. the early church, think what
00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:44.374
That the church was built on. the early church, think what the early church looked like.
00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:46.142
The early church, think what the early church looked like. it was greeks
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:47.410
It was people that
00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:53.282
It was people that jewish people, greek people,
00:04:53.349 --> 00:04:55.017
Jewish people, greek people, roman people, pagan people
00:04:55.084 --> 00:04:57.120
The gathered church.
00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:02.091
The gathered church. and the outside world
00:05:02.158 --> 00:05:03.659
The gathered church. and the outside world would look at the church
00:05:03.726 --> 00:05:04.861
And the outside world would look at the church and say how did that happen?
00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:06.028
Would look at the church and say how did that happen? how did
00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:07.196
And say how did that happen? how did this diverse group of people
00:05:07.263 --> 00:05:08.464
How did this diverse group of people that are from
00:05:08.531 --> 00:05:09.632
This diverse group of people that are from all kinds of spectrums,
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:10.833
That are from all kinds of spectrums, from all kinds
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:12.068
All kinds of spectrums, from all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds,
00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:13.269
From all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds, how did they end up?
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:14.504
Of socioeconomic backgrounds, how did they end up? they ended up because
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:15.772
How did they end up? they ended up because they were under one banner.
00:05:15.838 --> 00:05:16.839
They ended up because they were under one banner. the banner of jesus.
00:05:16.906 --> 00:05:18.074
They were under one banner. the banner of jesus. i think that is the hope
00:05:18.141 --> 00:05:19.242
The banner of jesus. i think that is the hope of the world right now.
00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:20.610
I think that is the hope of the world right now. we have to come back
00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:21.744
Of the world right now. we have to come back under the banner of jesus
00:05:21.811 --> 00:05:23.045
We have to come back under the banner of jesus and gather together.
00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:24.347
Under the banner of jesus and gather together. this book, i tell people
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:25.715
And gather together. this book, i tell people we've got to get back
00:05:25.782 --> 00:05:27.016
This book, i tell people we've got to get back to our sense of curiosity
00:05:27.083 --> 00:05:28.251
We've got to get back to our sense of curiosity about people.
00:05:28.317 --> 00:05:29.452
To our sense of curiosity about people. i think we've lost
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:30.686
About people. i think we've lost our sense of curiosity.
00:05:30.753 --> 00:05:31.921
I think we've lost our sense of curiosity. we're not asking questions.
00:05:31.988 --> 00:05:33.222
Our sense of curiosity. we're not asking questions. we're not diving
00:05:33.289 --> 00:05:34.524
Randy: okay, i think
00:05:36.559 --> 00:05:37.927
Randy: okay, i think that's actually a big one.
00:05:37.994 --> 00:05:39.295
That's actually a big one. because i've been
00:05:39.362 --> 00:05:40.630
Because i've been in situations where it may be
00:05:40.696 --> 00:05:42.732
In situations where it may be in an entirely
00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:43.933
In an entirely different country,
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:45.001
Or at least i know
00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:47.637
Or at least i know i'm the oddball christian
00:05:47.703 --> 00:05:48.771
Or at least i know i'm the oddball christian in the book.
00:05:48.838 --> 00:05:49.906
I'm the oddball christian in the book. yeah, you can be like
00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:51.040
In the book. yeah, you can be like okay, i don't want
00:05:51.107 --> 00:05:52.141
Yeah, you can be like okay, i don't want to offend anybody.
00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:53.242
Okay, i don't want to offend anybody. well, the easiest thing
00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:54.343
To offend anybody. well, the easiest thing is to ask questions
00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:55.445
Well, the easiest thing is to ask questions and listen.
00:05:55.511 --> 00:05:57.313
Is to ask questions and listen. how simple, yet profound,
00:05:57.380 --> 00:05:59.348
And listen. how simple, yet profound, is it to learn
00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:00.550
How simple, yet profound, is it to learn to just ask someone
00:06:00.616 --> 00:06:01.751
Is it to learn to just ask someone what do you think?
00:06:01.818 --> 00:06:02.819
To just ask someone what do you think? and then
00:06:02.885 --> 00:06:03.953
What do you think? and then you don't have to rebut,
00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:05.054
And then you don't have to rebut, you don't have to correct,
00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:06.122
You don't have to rebut, you don't have to correct, necessarily.
00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:07.290
You don't have to correct, necessarily. brady: exactly.
00:06:07.356 --> 00:06:08.391
Necessarily. brady: exactly. well, i think -- listen,
00:06:08.458 --> 00:06:09.525
Brady: exactly. well, i think -- listen, we have more shared humanity
00:06:09.592 --> 00:06:10.593
Well, i think -- listen, we have more shared humanity than we have divided humanity.
00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:11.794
We have more shared humanity than we have divided humanity. i know right now
00:06:11.861 --> 00:06:13.029
Than we have divided humanity. i know right now everyone is focused
00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:14.197
I know right now everyone is focused on what is dividing us.
00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:15.398
Everyone is focused on what is dividing us. but at the end of the day,
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:16.599
On what is dividing us. but at the end of the day, i think the vast majority
00:06:16.666 --> 00:06:18.401
But at the end of the day, i think the vast majority of people in our country
00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:19.769
I think the vast majority of people in our country and around the world,
00:06:19.836 --> 00:06:20.937
Of people in our country and around the world, and i've traveled
00:06:21.003 --> 00:06:22.004
And around the world, and i've traveled around the world to europe,
00:06:22.071 --> 00:06:23.039
And i've traveled around the world to europe, africa, asia, everywhere,
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:24.273
Around the world to europe, africa, asia, everywhere, and i think most of us
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.475
Africa, asia, everywhere, and i think most of us want to have good friends,
00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:27.844
And i think most of us want to have good friends, we want to love
00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:29.078
Want to have good friends, we want to love our spouse well,
00:06:29.145 --> 00:06:30.179
We want to love our spouse well, and we want our children
00:06:30.246 --> 00:06:31.380
Our spouse well, and we want our children to be flourishing.
00:06:31.447 --> 00:06:32.448
And we want our children to be flourishing. really, that's what
00:06:32.515 --> 00:06:33.516
To be flourishing. really, that's what we all want in our core.
00:06:33.583 --> 00:06:34.684
Really, that's what we all want in our core. we may go about that
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:35.918
We all want in our core. we may go about that in different ways
00:06:35.985 --> 00:06:37.220
We may go about that in different ways but at the end of the day
00:06:37.286 --> 00:06:38.287
In different ways but at the end of the day we have more things
00:06:38.354 --> 00:06:39.555
But at the end of the day we have more things to celebrate and to share.
00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:40.723
We have more things to celebrate and to share. i'm finding that.
00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:42.124
To celebrate and to share. i'm finding that. and i've traveled to places
00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:43.626
I'm finding that. and i've traveled to places that are radically different
00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:45.394
And i've traveled to places that are radically different than what i've grown up in
00:06:45.461 --> 00:06:46.629
That are radically different than what i've grown up in and what i believe in.
00:06:46.696 --> 00:06:47.797
Than what i've grown up in and what i believe in. but i'm just finding
00:06:47.864 --> 00:06:49.265
And what i believe in. but i'm just finding that the human soul,
00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:52.001
But i'm just finding that the human soul, there is more
00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:53.469
That the human soul, there is more that wants to come together
00:06:53.536 --> 00:06:54.570
There is more that wants to come together than divide us.
00:06:54.637 --> 00:06:55.671
That wants to come together than divide us. i think we've got to go out
00:06:55.738 --> 00:06:56.739
Than divide us. i think we've got to go out and find it.
00:06:56.806 --> 00:06:57.874
I think we've got to go out and find it. randy: if you look
00:06:57.940 --> 00:06:59.008
And find it. randy: if you look at scripture
00:06:59.075 --> 00:07:00.209
Randy: if you look at scripture you find out that jesus
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.511
At scripture you find out that jesus sometimes hung out
00:07:01.577 --> 00:07:02.612
You find out that jesus sometimes hung out with people he wasn't
00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:03.913
Sometimes hung out with people he wasn't supposed to hang out with,
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:05.147
With people he wasn't supposed to hang out with, according to
00:07:05.214 --> 00:07:06.415
Supposed to hang out with, according to the religious people. right?
00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:07.683
According to the religious people. right? there is a tendency i think
00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:08.951
The religious people. right? there is a tendency i think sometimes to walk
00:07:09.018 --> 00:07:10.253
There is a tendency i think sometimes to walk into someone's world,
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:11.554
Sometimes to walk into someone's world, whether literally
00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:12.922
Into someone's world, whether literally or figuratively,
00:07:12.989 --> 00:07:14.156
Whether literally or figuratively, and really start pointing out
00:07:14.223 --> 00:07:16.692
Or figuratively, and really start pointing out all the wrong.
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.228
And really start pointing out all the wrong. i'm not suggesting
00:07:19.295 --> 00:07:20.496
All the wrong. i'm not suggesting we compromise truth.
00:07:20.563 --> 00:07:21.631
I'm not suggesting we compromise truth. jesus never did.
00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:22.798
We compromise truth. jesus never did. but how much is grace
00:07:22.865 --> 00:07:25.134
Jesus never did. but how much is grace a key in getting
00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:27.537
But how much is grace a key in getting into other people's worlds?
00:07:27.603 --> 00:07:29.238
A key in getting into other people's worlds? brady: there are two stories,
00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:30.239
Into other people's worlds? brady: there are two stories, john chapter four
00:07:30.306 --> 00:07:31.307
Brady: there are two stories, john chapter four where he's caught
00:07:31.374 --> 00:07:32.308
John chapter four where he's caught at the woman at the well.
00:07:32.375 --> 00:07:33.342
Where he's caught at the woman at the well. he finds himself alone
00:07:33.409 --> 00:07:34.343
At the woman at the well. he finds himself alone in the middle of the afternoon
00:07:34.410 --> 00:07:35.478
He finds himself alone in the middle of the afternoon with a woman at the well.
00:07:35.545 --> 00:07:36.579
In the middle of the afternoon with a woman at the well. he says to her,
00:07:36.646 --> 00:07:37.747
With a woman at the well. he says to her, how many times
00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:39.081
He says to her, how many times have you been married?
00:07:39.148 --> 00:07:40.149
How many times have you been married? she says
00:07:40.216 --> 00:07:41.217
Have you been married? she says i've not been married.
00:07:41.284 --> 00:07:42.251
She says i've not been married. the truth is
00:07:42.318 --> 00:07:43.286
I've not been married. the truth is the man you're living with --
00:07:43.352 --> 00:07:44.353
The truth is the man you're living with -- you know the whole story.
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:45.388
The man you're living with -- you know the whole story. but he finds himself
00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:46.489
You know the whole story. but he finds himself with a vulnerable woman
00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:48.057
But he finds himself with a vulnerable woman who has been ostracized
00:07:48.124 --> 00:07:49.258
With a vulnerable woman who has been ostracized by her community.
00:07:49.325 --> 00:07:50.359
Who has been ostracized by her community. she is there
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.394
By her community. she is there in the middle of the afternoon
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:52.428
She is there in the middle of the afternoon because her community
00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:53.529
In the middle of the afternoon because her community has neglected her, shamed her.
00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:56.299
Because her community has neglected her, shamed her. what i love about
00:07:56.365 --> 00:07:57.366
Has neglected her, shamed her. what i love about that story is that
00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:58.534
What i love about that story is that jesus doesn't shame her.
00:07:58.601 --> 00:07:59.735
He doesn't use shame
00:08:01.337 --> 00:08:02.405
He doesn't use shame as a way to control behavior.
00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:04.507
As a way to control behavior. i love that story.
00:08:04.574 --> 00:08:05.641
I love that story. then she goes back
00:08:05.708 --> 00:08:06.709
Then she goes back to her village
00:08:06.776 --> 00:08:07.810
To her village and tells everyone about jesus
00:08:07.877 --> 00:08:08.945
The grace of jesus,
00:08:10.846 --> 00:08:12.281
The grace of jesus, the kindness of jesus.
00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:13.583
The grace of jesus, the kindness of jesus. he wasn't shaming her.
00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:15.151
The kindness of jesus. he wasn't shaming her. he didn't own her.
00:08:15.217 --> 00:08:16.485
He wasn't shaming her. he didn't own her. he didn't belittle --
00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:17.687
He didn't own her. he didn't belittle -- he didn't pile on.
00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:19.188
He didn't belittle -- he didn't pile on. so, then you fast-forward
00:08:19.255 --> 00:08:20.423
He didn't pile on. so, then you fast-forward to john chapter eight.
00:08:20.489 --> 00:08:21.424
So, then you fast-forward to john chapter eight. he is in the temple courts
00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:22.525
To john chapter eight. he is in the temple courts and in comes a woman
00:08:22.592 --> 00:08:23.526
He is in the temple courts and in comes a woman who has been caught
00:08:23.593 --> 00:08:24.660
And in comes a woman who has been caught in adultery.
00:08:24.727 --> 00:08:25.828
Who has been caught in adultery. same scenario --
00:08:25.895 --> 00:08:26.862
In adultery. same scenario -- a vulnerable woman
00:08:26.929 --> 00:08:28.030
Same scenario -- a vulnerable woman who has no voice
00:08:28.097 --> 00:08:29.198
A vulnerable woman who has no voice and the community
00:08:29.265 --> 00:08:30.499
Who has no voice and the community is shaming her.
00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:31.701
And the community is shaming her. and instead of piling on,
00:08:31.767 --> 00:08:33.102
Is shaming her. and instead of piling on, instead of adding to her shame
00:08:33.169 --> 00:08:34.937
And instead of piling on, instead of adding to her shame and her guilt
00:08:35.004 --> 00:08:36.038
Instead of adding to her shame and her guilt and her embarrassment,
00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:37.206
And her guilt and her embarrassment, he talks to her.
00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:38.341
And her embarrassment, he talks to her. he says,
00:08:38.407 --> 00:08:39.542
He talks to her. he says, "go and sin no more."
00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:41.644
He says, "go and sin no more." but he sends her out
00:08:41.711 --> 00:08:43.312
"go and sin no more." but he sends her out with a new identity,
00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:44.814
But he sends her out with a new identity, with a second chance.
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.183
With a new identity, with a second chance. i think those two stories
00:08:47.249 --> 00:08:48.584
With a second chance. i think those two stories in the book of john really
00:08:48.651 --> 00:08:51.053
I think those two stories in the book of john really is what i'm talking about
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.221
In the book of john really is what i'm talking about being life-minded .
00:08:52.288 --> 00:08:53.489
Is what i'm talking about being life-minded . about looking
00:08:53.556 --> 00:08:54.724
Being life-minded . about looking at the human soul,
00:08:54.790 --> 00:08:55.925
About looking at the human soul, looking at the person
00:08:55.992 --> 00:08:57.059
At the human soul, looking at the person that's in front of you
00:08:57.126 --> 00:08:58.160
Looking at the person that's in front of you and not seeing death,

That's in front of you and not seeing death, don't see destruction,

Application of life by giving people clean water and clean living conditions.
00:09:30.026 --> 00:09:31.260
By giving people clean water and clean living conditions. life is the center.
00:09:31.327 --> 00:09:32.695
And clean living conditions. life is the center. life and love
00:09:32.762 --> 00:09:34.063
Life is the center. life and love are the two words
00:09:34.130 --> 00:09:35.564
Life and love are the two words that identify the gospel --
00:09:35.631 --> 00:09:36.966
Are the two words that identify the gospel -- life and love.
00:09:37.033 --> 00:09:38.134
That identify the gospel -- life and love. the gospel is not

Life and love. the gospel is not for bad people
00:09:39.435 --> 00:09:40.636
The gospel is not for bad people to become good people.
00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:41.837
For bad people to become good people. the gospel is for dead people
00:09:41.904 --> 00:09:43.139
To become good people. the gospel is for dead people to become alive.
00:09:43.205 --> 00:09:44.674
The gospel is for dead people to become alive. so, life and love
00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:46.008
To become alive. so, life and love are the two central words,
00:09:46.075 --> 00:09:49.211
So, life and love are the two central words, the central power
00:09:49.278 --> 00:09:50.446
Are the two central words, the central power of the story, our story,
00:09:50.513 --> 00:09:51.681
The central power of the story, our story, the gospel story
00:09:51.747 --> 00:09:53.249
Of the story, our story, the gospel story is built on life and love.
00:09:53.315 --> 00:09:55.651
The gospel story is built on life and love. i think we've got
00:09:55.718 --> 00:09:56.752
Is built on life and love. i think we've got to get back to that.
00:09:56.819 --> 00:09:57.820
I think we've got to get back to that. listen, i don't know
00:09:57.887 --> 00:09:58.854
To get back to that. listen, i don't know how many more years i have
00:09:58.921 --> 00:09:59.889
Listen, i don't know how many more years i have on the planet
00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:00.956
How many more years i have on the planet but i'm not going to spend it
00:10:01.023 --> 00:10:01.991
On the planet but i'm not going to spend it being angry.
00:10:02.058 --> 00:10:03.159
But i'm not going to spend it being angry. i'm not going to spend it
00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:04.260
Being angry. i'm not going to spend it being divisive.
00:10:04.326 --> 00:10:05.327
I'm not going to spend it being divisive. i'm not going to spend it
00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:06.328
Being divisive. i'm not going to spend it being a cynic.
00:10:06.395 --> 00:10:07.363
I'm not going to spend it being a cynic. i'm looking for the best
00:10:07.430 --> 00:10:08.364
Being a cynic. i'm looking for the best in the human soul.
00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:09.365
I'm looking for the best in the human soul. i'm going to draw the best
00:10:09.432 --> 00:10:10.433
In the human soul. i'm going to draw the best out of people.
00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:11.467
I'm going to draw the best out of people. i want the best
00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:12.535
Out of people. i want the best to come out of me.
00:10:12.601 --> 00:10:13.636
I want the best to come out of me. let's get
00:10:13.703 --> 00:10:14.737
To come out of me. let's get to the end of our lives,
00:10:14.804 --> 00:10:15.838
Let's get to the end of our lives, let's just be
00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:16.939
To the end of our lives, let's just be two grumpy old men
00:10:17.006 --> 00:10:18.040
Let's just be two grumpy old men that are kind and life-giving
00:10:18.107 --> 00:10:19.141
Two grumpy old men that are kind and life-giving as we get older.
00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:20.242
That are kind and life-giving as we get older. randy: think about offense.
00:10:20.309 --> 00:10:21.343
As we get older. randy: think about offense. it is a two-part transaction.
00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:22.812
Randy: think about offense. it is a two-part transaction. this world is offensive.
00:10:22.878 --> 00:10:24.213
It is a two-part transaction. this world is offensive. it is offensive.
00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:25.414
This world is offensive. it is offensive. but i don't have
00:10:25.481 --> 00:10:26.582
It is offensive. but i don't have to pick up the offense
00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:27.750
But i don't have to pick up the offense and walk around with it.
00:10:27.817 --> 00:10:28.884
I can be like, okay,
00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:32.388
I can be like, okay, and go on my happy way.
00:10:32.455 --> 00:10:33.856
And go on my happy way. that, i think, christians
00:10:33.923 --> 00:10:35.791
That, i think, christians are too easily offended
00:10:35.858 --> 00:10:37.526
Are too easily offended in that regard.
00:10:37.593 --> 00:10:39.095
You use in the book
00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:42.064
You use in the book that i'm really curious about
00:10:42.131 --> 00:10:43.365
You use in the book that i'm really curious about because you talk about
00:10:43.432 --> 00:10:44.667
That i'm really curious about because you talk about "beauty seekers
00:10:44.734 --> 00:10:47.036
Because you talk about "beauty seekers versus beauty stealers."
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:50.272
"beauty seekers versus beauty stealers." i think the offense
00:10:50.339 --> 00:10:51.540
Versus beauty stealers." i think the offense obviously ties into that.
00:10:51.607 --> 00:10:52.708
I think the offense obviously ties into that. what's the difference
00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:53.809
Obviously ties into that. what's the difference in those two perspectives?
00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:54.877
What's the difference in those two perspectives? brady: well, i talk about it
00:10:54.944 --> 00:10:56.011
In those two perspectives? brady: well, i talk about it and that's the chapter
00:10:56.078 --> 00:10:57.079
Brady: well, i talk about it and that's the chapter i write about the awe of god,
00:10:57.146 --> 00:10:58.214
And that's the chapter i write about the awe of god, about looking for the things
00:10:58.280 --> 00:10:59.381
I write about the awe of god, about looking for the things that are beautiful.
00:10:59.448 --> 00:11:00.516
About looking for the things that are beautiful. looking for things --
00:11:00.583 --> 00:11:01.684
That are beautiful. looking for things -- i live in colorado
00:11:01.751 --> 00:11:02.718
Looking for things -- i live in colorado so every morning, i know,
00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:03.819
I live in colorado so every morning, i know, people are going to hate me
00:11:03.886 --> 00:11:04.887
So every morning, i know, people are going to hate me for saying this
00:11:04.954 --> 00:11:05.988
People are going to hate me for saying this but every morning
00:11:06.055 --> 00:11:07.056
For saying this but every morning when i wake up,
00:11:07.123 --> 00:11:08.157
But every morning when i wake up, i open the window
00:11:08.224 --> 00:11:09.158
When i wake up, i open the window in my bathroom
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:10.392
I open the window in my bathroom and there is pikes peak --
00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:11.527
In my bathroom and there is pikes peak -- every single morning.
00:11:11.594 --> 00:11:12.728
And i can honestly say this,
00:11:14.029 --> 00:11:15.097
And i can honestly say this, it looks different
00:11:15.164 --> 00:11:16.198
It looks different every day.
00:11:16.265 --> 00:11:17.333
Every day. the way the sun
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:18.467
The way the sun is hitting that peak.
00:11:18.534 --> 00:11:19.502
Is hitting that peak. how much snow is on that peak.
00:11:19.568 --> 00:11:20.770
How much snow is on that peak. the cloud cover
00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:21.971
Whether or not it is cloudy
00:11:23.806 --> 00:11:24.874
Whether or not it is cloudy or clear, all those things
00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:25.975
Whether or not it is cloudy or clear, all those things give it something new
00:11:26.041 --> 00:11:27.076
Or clear, all those things give it something new every day.
00:11:27.143 --> 00:11:28.177
Give it something new every day. now i've learned
00:11:28.244 --> 00:11:29.178
Every day. now i've learned a long time ago
00:11:29.245 --> 00:11:30.379
Now i've learned a long time ago that when i open that,
00:11:30.446 --> 00:11:31.814
A long time ago that when i open that, i look for the beautiful.
00:11:31.881 --> 00:11:32.948
That when i open that, i look for the beautiful. so i want to start my day
00:11:33.015 --> 00:11:34.049
I look for the beautiful. so i want to start my day looking for something
00:11:34.116 --> 00:11:35.284
So i want to start my day looking for something that's beautiful because
00:11:35.351 --> 00:11:36.452
Looking for something that's beautiful because i know once i leave my house
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.753
That's beautiful because i know once i leave my house and i turn on social media
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:38.988
I know once i leave my house and i turn on social media or i turn on a podcast
00:11:39.054 --> 00:11:40.189
And i turn on social media or i turn on a podcast or i listen to the news,
00:11:40.256 --> 00:11:41.557
Or i turn on a podcast or i listen to the news, i'm going to be hit
00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:42.758
Or i listen to the news, i'm going to be hit with the ugly all day long.
00:11:42.825 --> 00:11:45.227
I'm going to be hit with the ugly all day long. and if i'm not careful,
00:11:45.294 --> 00:11:46.362
With the ugly all day long. and if i'm not careful, my soul starts reflecting
00:11:46.428 --> 00:11:47.530
And if i'm not careful, my soul starts reflecting on the information
00:11:47.596 --> 00:11:48.864
My soul starts reflecting on the information that i'm taking in.
00:11:48.931 --> 00:11:50.166
On the information that i'm taking in. so, if you're not taking in
00:11:50.232 --> 00:11:51.433
That i'm taking in. so, if you're not taking in beautiful things,
00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.635
So, if you're not taking in beautiful things, you're only taking in
00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:53.803
Beautiful things, you're only taking in corrupt things,
00:11:53.869 --> 00:11:54.970
You're only taking in corrupt things, you're only listening
00:11:55.037 --> 00:11:56.105
Corrupt things, you're only listening to chaotic things,
00:11:56.172 --> 00:11:57.206
You're only listening to chaotic things, things that are ugly
00:11:57.273 --> 00:11:58.307
To chaotic things, things that are ugly and broken, you're going
00:11:58.374 --> 00:11:59.375
Things that are ugly and broken, you're going to look up one day
00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:00.543
And broken, you're going to look up one day and your soul
00:12:00.609 --> 00:12:01.710
To look up one day and your soul is going to reflect that.
00:12:01.777 --> 00:12:02.845
And your soul is going to reflect that. it's like the food that i eat.
00:12:02.912 --> 00:12:03.946
Is going to reflect that. it's like the food that i eat. like all the food
00:12:04.013 --> 00:12:05.014
It's like the food that i eat. like all the food that i put in my body
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.148
Like all the food that i put in my body is going to determine
00:12:06.215 --> 00:12:07.249
That i put in my body is going to determine my health.
00:12:07.316 --> 00:12:08.450
Is going to determine my health. so will all the information
00:12:08.517 --> 00:12:09.552
My health. so will all the information i take into my soul
00:12:09.618 --> 00:12:10.619
So will all the information i take into my soul is going to determine
00:12:10.686 --> 00:12:11.887
I take into my soul is going to determine the health of my soul.
00:12:11.954 --> 00:12:13.155
Is going to determine the health of my soul. so if you're not taking in
00:12:13.222 --> 00:12:14.356
The health of my soul. so if you're not taking in the presence of god,
00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:15.457
So if you're not taking in the presence of god, if you're not listening
00:12:15.524 --> 00:12:16.625
The presence of god, if you're not listening for the voice of god,
00:12:16.692 --> 00:12:17.660
If you're not listening for the voice of god, if you're not reading
00:12:17.726 --> 00:12:18.761
For the voice of god, if you're not reading the word of god,
00:12:18.828 --> 00:12:19.862
If you're not reading the word of god, if you're not around
00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:20.863
The word of god, if you're not around god's people,
00:12:20.930 --> 00:12:21.864
If you're not around god's people, you're going to miss out
00:12:21.931 --> 00:12:22.965
God's people, you're going to miss out on the beautiful things
00:12:23.032 --> 00:12:24.033
You're going to miss out on the beautiful things that can make your soul
00:12:24.099 --> 00:12:25.134
On the beautiful things that can make your soul become beautiful.
00:12:25.201 --> 00:12:26.135
That can make your soul become beautiful. so, i'm talking
00:12:26.202 --> 00:12:27.203
Become beautiful. so, i'm talking about the awe of god
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:28.337
So, i'm talking about the awe of god in that chapter,
00:12:28.404 --> 00:12:29.505
About the awe of god in that chapter, and i think
00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:30.606
In that chapter, and i think i want to be surprised
00:12:30.673 --> 00:12:31.740
And i think i want to be surprised by something beautiful
00:12:31.807 --> 00:12:32.775
I want to be surprised by something beautiful every single day.
00:12:32.842 --> 00:12:33.909
By something beautiful every single day. i want to bump into someone
00:12:33.976 --> 00:12:35.077
Every single day. i want to bump into someone i can bless.
00:12:35.144 --> 00:12:36.512
I want to bump into someone i can bless. i want to see god's creation
00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.713
I can bless. i want to see god's creation with a new lens,
00:12:37.780 --> 00:12:39.515
I want to see god's creation with a new lens, a new set of eyes every day.
00:12:39.582 --> 00:12:40.716
With a new lens, a new set of eyes every day. i don't want to lose
00:12:40.783 --> 00:12:42.051
A new set of eyes every day. i don't want to lose my sense of beauty and wonder.
00:12:42.117 --> 00:12:43.519
I don't want to lose my sense of beauty and wonder. i'm living on a planet,
00:12:43.586 --> 00:12:46.755
My sense of beauty and wonder. i'm living on a planet, a rock that's spinning
00:12:46.822 --> 00:12:48.157
I'm living on a planet, a rock that's spinning around the sun
00:12:48.224 --> 00:12:49.358
A rock that's spinning around the sun and it is a beautiful thing.
00:12:49.425 --> 00:12:50.793
Around the sun and it is a beautiful thing. i don't want to be distracted
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:52.494
And it is a beautiful thing. i don't want to be distracted all day long
00:12:52.561 --> 00:12:54.396
I don't want to be distracted all day long by the ugliness of the world
00:12:54.463 --> 00:12:55.798
All day long by the ugliness of the world and end up one day
00:12:55.865 --> 00:12:57.166
By the ugliness of the world and end up one day being an ugly person.
00:12:57.233 --> 00:12:58.434
And end up one day being an ugly person. randy: is there an exception
00:12:58.500 --> 00:12:59.802
Being an ugly person. randy: is there an exception in the bible for jealousy?
00:12:59.869 --> 00:13:01.070
Because i see traffic
00:13:01.170 --> 00:13:02.905
But do you see the beauty
00:13:04.907 --> 00:13:06.709
But do you see the beauty simply in creation?
00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:08.010
Simply in creation? i think people get that.
00:13:08.077 --> 00:13:09.912
Is there not beauty
00:13:11.780 --> 00:13:12.815
Is there not beauty even in people?
00:13:12.882 --> 00:13:14.283
Is there not beauty even in people? brady: absolutely!

About his job. he spoke broken english. i think he is new

He spoke broken english. i think he is new to our country.
00:13:30.633 --> 00:13:32.067
I think he is new to our country. but there was such a joy
00:13:32.134 --> 00:13:33.435
To our country. but there was such a joy in what he was doing.
00:13:33.502 --> 00:13:35.037
But there was such a joy in what he was doing. i think if i had been
00:13:35.104 --> 00:13:36.171
In what he was doing. i think if i had been back on my phone
00:13:36.238 --> 00:13:37.373
I think if i had been back on my phone doom scrolling twitter,
00:13:37.439 --> 00:13:38.507
Back on my phone doom scrolling twitter, instead of talking

Doom scrolling twitter, instead of talking to this guy,

Instead of talking to this guy, i would have missed out

We need people who can walk into potentially chaotic, murderous, violent places
00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:34.990
Into potentially chaotic, murderous, violent places and bring --

We follow the prince of peace. he's called
00:15:39.294 --> 00:15:40.329
The prince of peace. he's called the prince of peace.
00:15:40.396 --> 00:15:41.397
He's called the prince of peace. that is our savior.
00:15:41.463 --> 00:15:42.498
The prince of peace. that is our savior. our resurrected one
00:15:42.564 --> 00:15:43.665
That is our savior. our resurrected one is the prince of peace.
00:15:43.732 --> 00:15:45.401
Our resurrected one is the prince of peace. so, if he is
00:15:45.467 --> 00:15:46.535
Is the prince of peace. so, if he is the prince of peace,
00:15:46.602 --> 00:15:47.603

The prince of peace, and we follow the prince of peace,
00:15:48.704 --> 00:15:49.872
And we follow the prince of peace, then everywhere we go,
00:15:49.938 --> 00:15:50.906
The prince of peace, then everywhere we go, we should bring peace
00:15:50.973 --> 00:15:52.107
Then everywhere we go, we should bring peace with ourselves.
00:15:52.174 --> 00:15:53.242
We should bring peace with ourselves. that doesn't mean
00:15:53.308 --> 00:15:54.410
With ourselves. that doesn't mean that we can't argue and debate
00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.744
That doesn't mean that we can't argue and debate and confront
00:15:55.811 --> 00:15:57.046
That we can't argue and debate and confront and challenge evil.
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:58.347
And confront and challenge evil. i'm not talking about
00:15:58.414 --> 00:15:59.581
And challenge evil. i'm not talking about being a doormat
00:15:59.648 --> 00:16:00.682
I'm not talking about being a doormat and i'm not talking
00:16:00.749 --> 00:16:01.784
Being a doormat and i'm not talking about ignoring the problems
00:16:01.850 --> 00:16:02.985
And i'm not talking about ignoring the problems of our culture.
00:16:03.052 --> 00:16:04.053
About ignoring the problems of our culture. i'm saying that
00:16:04.119 --> 00:16:05.220
Of our culture. i'm saying that i can come into a difficult,
00:16:05.287 --> 00:16:06.388
I'm saying that i can come into a difficult, potentially murderous,
00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:07.523
I can come into a difficult, potentially murderous, violent situation
00:16:07.589 --> 00:16:08.690
Potentially murderous, violent situation and i can bring
00:16:08.757 --> 00:16:10.025
Violent situation and i can bring something with me
00:16:10.092 --> 00:16:11.193
And i can bring something with me into those situations
00:16:11.260 --> 00:16:12.461
Something with me into those situations that calms things down
00:16:12.528 --> 00:16:14.797
Into those situations that calms things down so that really good
00:16:14.863 --> 00:16:15.998
That calms things down so that really good conversations can happen.
00:16:16.065 --> 00:16:17.399
So that really good conversations can happen. in that setting,
00:16:17.466 --> 00:16:18.801
Conversations can happen. in that setting, i think about that guy
00:16:18.867 --> 00:16:20.436
In that setting, i think about that guy at the restaurant table
00:16:20.502 --> 00:16:21.970
I think about that guy at the restaurant table needed to have
00:16:22.037 --> 00:16:23.105
At the restaurant table needed to have a healthy dialogue
00:16:23.172 --> 00:16:24.306
Needed to have a healthy dialogue with the protestor.
00:16:24.373 --> 00:16:25.507
A healthy dialogue with the protestor. they probably needed
00:16:25.574 --> 00:16:26.708
With the protestor. they probably needed to sit down at that table
00:16:26.775 --> 00:16:27.810
They probably needed to sit down at that table and say,
00:16:27.876 --> 00:16:28.911
To sit down at that table and say, tell me why you're marching.
00:16:28.977 --> 00:16:29.978
And say, tell me why you're marching. tell me why it upset you that
00:16:30.045 --> 00:16:31.146
Tell me why you're marching. tell me why it upset you that i came close to your table.
00:16:31.213 --> 00:16:32.281
Tell me why it upset you that i came close to your table. but someone has to bring peace
00:16:32.347 --> 00:16:34.316
I came close to your table. but someone has to bring peace so that conversation
00:16:34.383 --> 00:16:35.584
But someone has to bring peace so that conversation can happen.
00:16:35.651 --> 00:16:36.785
So that conversation can happen. i find that that's the role
00:16:36.852 --> 00:16:37.986
Can happen. i find that that's the role of a church.
00:16:38.053 --> 00:16:39.154
I find that that's the role of a church. that should be the role
00:16:39.221 --> 00:16:40.322
Of a church. that should be the role of a pastor, a church,
00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:42.291
That should be the role of a pastor, a church, where people can come
00:16:42.357 --> 00:16:43.525
Of a pastor, a church, where people can come into the church,
00:16:43.592 --> 00:16:44.693
Where people can come into the church, it is a sacred and safe place,
00:16:44.760 --> 00:16:45.828
Into the church, it is a sacred and safe place, this is where
00:16:45.894 --> 00:16:47.029
It is a sacred and safe place, this is where we can have these dialogues
00:16:47.096 --> 00:16:48.230
This is where we can have these dialogues and conversations that can
00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:49.298
We can have these dialogues and conversations that can actually heal our land and
00:16:49.364 --> 00:16:50.532
And conversations that can actually heal our land and heal our country right now.
00:16:50.599 --> 00:16:51.800
Actually heal our land and heal our country right now. i believe in it.
00:16:51.867 --> 00:16:53.102
Randy: i think there is
00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:56.238
Randy: i think there is a very profound difference
00:16:56.305 --> 00:16:57.372
A very profound difference between a peace keeper,
00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:58.540
Between a peace keeper, which is kind of a maintaining
00:16:58.607 --> 00:16:59.708
Which is kind of a maintaining the status quo,
00:16:59.775 --> 00:17:00.843
The status quo, which i'm all for
00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:01.910
Which i'm all for keeping peace.
00:17:01.977 --> 00:17:02.978
Actually has to take
00:17:04.113 --> 00:17:05.180
Actually has to take that step of courage
00:17:05.247 --> 00:17:06.248
Actually has to take that step of courage into a difficult situation
00:17:06.315 --> 00:17:07.683
That step of courage into a difficult situation to make a difference.
00:17:07.749 --> 00:17:09.885
Into a difficult situation to make a difference. brady: they have to believe
00:17:09.952 --> 00:17:11.220
To make a difference. brady: they have to believe that peace is possible.
00:17:11.286 --> 00:17:12.454
Brady: they have to believe that peace is possible. and see, this is what
00:17:12.521 --> 00:17:13.622
That peace is possible. and see, this is what i'm trying to tell people
00:17:13.689 --> 00:17:14.790
And see, this is what i'm trying to tell people in the book.
00:17:14.857 --> 00:17:16.024
I'm trying to tell people in the book. if we're people
00:17:16.091 --> 00:17:17.192
In the book. if we're people of the spirit --
00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:18.293
If we're people of the spirit -- i've got the book.
00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.428
Of the spirit -- i've got the book. i'm sitting at my coffee table
00:17:19.495 --> 00:17:20.729
I've got the book. i'm sitting at my coffee table my breakfast table in my room
00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:21.997
I'm sitting at my coffee table my breakfast table in my room a few years ago,
00:17:22.064 --> 00:17:23.132
My breakfast table in my room a few years ago, romans chapter eight,
00:17:23.198 --> 00:17:24.133
A few years ago, romans chapter eight, "the mind governed
00:17:24.199 --> 00:17:25.300
Romans chapter eight, "the mind governed by the spirit
00:17:25.367 --> 00:17:26.735
"the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace."
00:17:26.802 --> 00:17:28.837
By the spirit is life and peace." that's the scripture
00:17:28.904 --> 00:17:30.072
Is life and peace." that's the scripture in romans chapter eight.
00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:31.240
What is governing my mind
00:17:32.541 --> 00:17:33.842
What is governing my mind right now?
00:17:33.909 --> 00:17:35.043
Right now? what is really controlling me?
00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:36.345
What is really controlling me? and i'm caught up
00:17:36.411 --> 00:17:37.646
And i'm caught up in the anxieties of the day.
00:17:37.713 --> 00:17:39.548
In the anxieties of the day. i'm aware
00:17:39.615 --> 00:17:40.716
I'm very aware.
00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:43.352
I'm very aware. maybe too aware sometimes.
00:17:43.418 --> 00:17:44.453
I'm very aware. maybe too aware sometimes. i can find myself
00:17:44.520 --> 00:17:45.621
Maybe too aware sometimes. i can find myself being anxious, afraid,
00:17:45.687 --> 00:17:46.722
I can find myself being anxious, afraid, aggravated, upset.
00:17:46.788 --> 00:17:47.823
Being anxious, afraid, aggravated, upset. but when i realized
00:17:47.890 --> 00:17:48.957
Aggravated, upset. but when i realized that my mind is controlled
00:17:49.024 --> 00:17:50.092
But when i realized that my mind is controlled by the holy spirit,
00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:51.360
That my mind is controlled by the holy spirit, then suddenly,
00:17:51.426 --> 00:17:52.628
By the holy spirit, then suddenly, something else can govern me,
00:17:52.694 --> 00:17:54.930
Then suddenly, something else can govern me, something else can lead me
00:17:54.997 --> 00:17:56.365
Something else can govern me, something else can lead me to life and peace!
00:17:56.431 --> 00:17:57.733
Something else can lead me to life and peace! so, if that's what's
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.001
To life and peace! so, if that's what's controlling my mind,
00:17:59.067 --> 00:18:00.235
So, if that's what's controlling my mind, my heart, my soul,
00:18:00.302 --> 00:18:01.503
Controlling my mind, my heart, my soul, then that's what i can bring
00:18:01.570 --> 00:18:02.704
My heart, my soul, then that's what i can bring into every conversation,
00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:04.006
Then that's what i can bring into every conversation, every situation.
00:18:04.072 --> 00:18:05.240
Into every conversation, every situation. that's what i can bring
00:18:05.307 --> 00:18:06.441
Every situation. that's what i can bring into my marriage, into
00:18:06.508 --> 00:18:07.709
That's what i can bring into my marriage, into my adult children's lives.
00:18:07.776 --> 00:18:09.044
Into my marriage, into my adult children's lives. that's what i bring
00:18:09.111 --> 00:18:10.279
My adult children's lives. that's what i bring into my pulpit
00:18:10.345 --> 00:18:11.580
That's what i bring into my pulpit when i'm preaching,
00:18:11.647 --> 00:18:12.714
Into my pulpit when i'm preaching, life and peace.
00:18:12.781 --> 00:18:13.782
When i'm preaching, life and peace. i think that's the two
00:18:13.849 --> 00:18:14.883
Life and peace. i think that's the two anecdotes for what is ailing
00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:16.018
I think that's the two anecdotes for what is ailing our world right now.
00:18:16.084 --> 00:18:17.085
Anecdotes for what is ailing our world right now. because you see death
00:18:17.152 --> 00:18:18.153
Our world right now. because you see death and destruction
00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.221
Because you see death and destruction that the enemy is bringing.
00:18:19.288 --> 00:18:20.355
And destruction that the enemy is bringing. jesus brings something
00:18:20.422 --> 00:18:21.423
That the enemy is bringing. jesus brings something much better.
00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:22.491
Jesus brings something much better. he brings life
00:18:22.558 --> 00:18:23.559
Much better. he brings life and he brings peace.
00:18:23.625 --> 00:18:24.626
He brings life and he brings peace. randy: you know,
00:18:24.693 --> 00:18:25.827
And he brings peace. randy: you know, that's interesting
00:18:25.894 --> 00:18:26.995
Randy: you know, that's interesting coming from a pastor
00:18:27.062 --> 00:18:28.063
That's interesting coming from a pastor who had an active shooter
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.198
Coming from a pastor who had an active shooter at his church.
00:18:29.264 --> 00:18:30.832
Who had an active shooter at his church. brady: we had a violent gunman
00:18:30.899 --> 00:18:32.067
At his church. brady: we had a violent gunman come on our campus
00:18:32.134 --> 00:18:33.168
Brady: we had a violent gunman come on our campus 17 years ago.
00:18:33.235 --> 00:18:34.303
Come on our campus 17 years ago. opened fire with an ar-15
00:18:34.369 --> 00:18:35.370
17 years ago. opened fire with an ar-15 and killed two teenage girls
00:18:35.437 --> 00:18:36.538
Opened fire with an ar-15 and killed two teenage girls in my parking lot.
00:18:36.605 --> 00:18:37.739
And killed two teenage girls in my parking lot. i cleaned up the blood
00:18:37.806 --> 00:18:39.007
In my parking lot. i cleaned up the blood the next day in my hallway
00:18:39.074 --> 00:18:40.175
I cleaned up the blood the next day in my hallway where he died.
00:18:40.242 --> 00:18:41.310
The next day in my hallway where he died. i know what death
00:18:41.376 --> 00:18:42.477
Where he died. i know what death and destruction looks like.
00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:43.612
I know what death and destruction looks like. but i also know the power
00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:44.913
And destruction looks like. but i also know the power of life and peace
00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:46.114
But i also know the power of life and peace because two months later
00:18:46.181 --> 00:18:47.282
Of life and peace because two months later the parents of that gunman
00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:48.483
Because two months later the parents of that gunman came onto my campus
00:18:48.550 --> 00:18:49.618
The parents of that gunman came onto my campus and held hands
00:18:49.685 --> 00:18:50.852
Came onto my campus and held hands with the parents
00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:51.987
And held hands with the parents of the two girls.
00:18:52.054 --> 00:18:53.121
With the parents of the two girls. and in that hallway,
00:18:53.188 --> 00:18:54.256
Of the two girls. and in that hallway, inches away
00:18:54.323 --> 00:18:55.357
And in that hallway, inches away from where their son died,
00:18:55.424 --> 00:18:56.425
Inches away from where their son died, i saw the parents
00:18:56.491 --> 00:18:57.626
From where their son died, i saw the parents of the gunman
00:18:57.693 --> 00:18:58.860
I saw the parents of the gunman and the parents
00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:00.128
Of the gunman and the parents of the two girls hold hands
00:19:00.195 --> 00:19:01.396
And the parents of the two girls hold hands and bless each other,
00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:02.397
Of the two girls hold hands and bless each other, forgive each other,
00:19:02.464 --> 00:19:03.465
And bless each other, forgive each other, speak life over each other,
00:19:03.532 --> 00:19:05.567
Forgive each other, speak life over each other, and they are still friends
00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:06.735
Speak life over each other, and they are still friends today.
00:19:06.802 --> 00:19:07.803
And they are still friends today. why? because their minds
00:19:07.869 --> 00:19:08.937
Today. why? because their minds were governed by the spirit,
00:19:09.004 --> 00:19:10.172
Why? because their minds were governed by the spirit, and life and peace
00:19:10.239 --> 00:19:11.907
Were governed by the spirit, and life and peace came out of that situation.
00:19:11.974 --> 00:19:13.508
And life and peace came out of that situation. so, i've seen this happen --
00:19:13.575 --> 00:19:15.344
Came out of that situation. so, i've seen this happen -- i've seen this happen
00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:16.578
So, i've seen this happen -- i've seen this happen too many times
00:19:16.645 --> 00:19:17.713
I've seen this happen too many times for me not to believe in it.
00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:18.714
Too many times for me not to believe in it. randy: yeah. wow! okay.
00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:20.949
For me not to believe in it. randy: yeah. wow! okay. you can be life-minded too.
00:19:21.016 --> 00:19:23.118
Randy: yeah. wow! okay. you can be life-minded too. there are several ways.
00:19:23.185 --> 00:19:24.453
You can be life-minded too. there are several ways. one topic in brady's book that
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.155
There are several ways. one topic in brady's book that we didn't talk about today
00:19:27.222 --> 00:19:28.457
One topic in brady's book that we didn't talk about today is the idea of service.
00:19:28.523 --> 00:19:30.592
We didn't talk about today is the idea of service. that's a real key,
00:19:30.659 --> 00:19:31.860
Is the idea of service. that's a real key, especially when you want
00:19:31.927 --> 00:19:32.995
That's a real key, especially when you want to connect with people,
00:19:33.061 --> 00:19:34.129
Especially when you want to connect with people, maybe people
00:19:34.196 --> 00:19:35.297
To connect with people, maybe people that you don't know.
00:19:35.364 --> 00:19:36.465
Maybe people that you don't know. we're going to jump down to
00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:37.633
That you don't know. we're going to jump down to one of our mission partners
00:19:37.699 --> 00:19:38.834
We're going to jump down to one of our mission partners and he's going to show you
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:40.168
One of our mission partners and he's going to show you a situation where we,
00:19:40.235 --> 00:19:41.436
And he's going to show you a situation where we, as the body of christ
00:19:41.503 --> 00:19:43.038
A situation where we, as the body of christ are serving others
00:19:43.105 --> 00:19:44.373
As the body of christ are serving others who are in desperate need.
00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:45.574
Are serving others who are in desperate need. i tell you what,
00:19:45.641 --> 00:19:46.842
Who are in desperate need. i tell you what, if you'll join us
00:19:46.908 --> 00:19:48.210
I tell you what, if you'll join us in that service today
00:19:48.277 --> 00:19:49.478
If you'll join us in that service today and request brady's book,
00:19:49.544 --> 00:19:50.746
In that service today and request brady's book, you can get more from him
00:19:50.812 --> 00:19:52.648
And request brady's book, you can get more from him on how to be life-minded .
00:19:52.714 --> 00:19:54.983
You can get more from him on how to be life-minded . we'd love to send that
00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:56.251
On how to be life-minded . we'd love to send that to you if you will help us
00:19:56.318 --> 00:19:58.720
We'd love to send that to you if you will help us as we build the faith
00:19:58.787 --> 00:20:00.489
To you if you will help us as we build the faith of others by showing
00:20:00.555 --> 00:20:02.324
As we build the faith of others by showing the love of christ to people.
00:20:02.391 --> 00:20:03.725
Of others by showing the love of christ to people. there are some people
00:20:03.792 --> 00:20:04.726
The love of christ to people. there are some people right now that i've been
00:20:04.793 --> 00:20:07.062
There are some people right now that i've been told by some of them
00:20:07.129 --> 00:20:08.263
Right now that i've been told by some of them in the field, we prayed
00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:09.564
Told by some of them in the field, we prayed to god and then --
00:20:09.631 --> 00:20:12.934
In the field, we prayed to god and then -- we want to be that answer
00:20:13.001 --> 00:20:14.036
To god and then -- we want to be that answer to people's prayers.
00:20:14.102 --> 00:20:15.237
Of an exciting thing.
00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:19.274
Of an exciting thing. those of you
00:20:19.341 --> 00:20:20.475
Those of you that have supported
00:20:20.542 --> 00:20:21.677
That have supported the malnutrition clinics,
00:20:21.743 --> 00:20:22.878
The malnutrition clinics, i want to say thank you.
00:20:22.944 --> 00:20:24.112
I want to say thank you. they are critical.
00:20:24.179 --> 00:20:25.514
They are critical. it is a very difficult
00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:26.815
It is a very difficult situation there,
00:20:26.882 --> 00:20:28.016
Situation there, but we are able
00:20:28.083 --> 00:20:29.251
But we are able to save many lives.
00:20:29.318 --> 00:20:31.153
To save many lives. here's the better solution.
00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:33.188
Here's the better solution. let's go into the villages
00:20:33.255 --> 00:20:35.290
Let's go into the villages where they are facing
00:20:35.357 --> 00:20:36.692
Where they are facing malnutrition,
00:20:36.758 --> 00:20:37.959
Malnutrition, starvation, and hunger
00:20:38.026 --> 00:20:39.328
Starvation, and hunger and let's feed them,
00:20:39.394 --> 00:20:40.662
And let's feed them, so they don't have
00:20:40.729 --> 00:20:41.897
So they don't have to end up in a clinic.
00:20:41.963 --> 00:20:43.098
To end up in a clinic. because you understand,
00:20:43.165 --> 00:20:44.333
Because you understand, the clinic is sort of
00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:45.667
The clinic is sort of a last ditch effort
00:20:45.734 --> 00:20:47.569
A last ditch effort to save the life of a child.
00:20:47.636 --> 00:20:49.271
To save the life of a child. but when we go in with
00:20:49.338 --> 00:20:50.739
But when we go in with the mission feeding outreach
00:20:50.806 --> 00:20:52.507
The mission feeding outreach into the villages,
00:20:52.574 --> 00:20:54.142
Into the villages, we feed them
00:20:54.209 --> 00:20:55.510
We feed them oftentimes at schools,
00:20:55.577 --> 00:20:56.845
Oftentimes at schools, but we give them
00:20:56.912 --> 00:20:58.080
But we give them what they need
00:20:58.146 --> 00:20:59.381

Let me break it down for you. how much do you think
00:21:13.161 --> 00:21:14.363
How much do you think it would cost for us
00:21:14.429 --> 00:21:15.497
It would cost for us to feed three children
