Life Today with James Robison | Carlos Whittaker - Be Still And Know | February 18, 2025

In a world dominated by screens,
00:00:06.362 --> 00:00:08.865
Carlos whittaker goes completely screen-free
00:00:08.865 --> 00:00:11.801
And shares what he learned.
00:00:11.801 --> 00:00:13.803
>> i don't think people are addicted to their phones.
00:00:13.803 --> 00:00:16.039
I liken the phone to a needle.
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.041
The phone isn't the drug,
00:00:18.041 --> 00:00:20.043
It is just the needle.
00:00:20.043 --> 00:00:22.045
What is it that the needle is administering to you
00:00:22.045 --> 00:00:24.481
That you're addicted to?
00:00:24.481 --> 00:00:26.483
That, i think is where the deceiver can come in.
00:00:26.483 --> 00:00:28.618
It is always a lie that you believe about yourself
00:00:28.618 --> 00:00:30.887
Which is why you're looking at it so much
00:00:30.887 --> 00:00:32.956
Trying to medicate whatever that lie is.
00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:41.831
♪
00:00:42.065 --> 00:00:54.344
James: i'm really --
00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:56.079
James: i'm really -- by the way,
00:00:56.146 --> 00:00:57.213
By the way, i'm not excited
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.448
I'm not excited that betty is not here.
00:00:58.515 --> 00:00:59.616
That betty is not here. it just happened that
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:00.850
It just happened that i had two guests available
00:01:00.917 --> 00:01:02.018
I had two guests available that were here
00:01:02.085 --> 00:01:03.286
To talk to these guys.
00:01:04.721 --> 00:01:06.222
To talk to these guys. this is carlos whittaker,
00:01:06.289 --> 00:01:07.857
To talk to these guys. this is carlos whittaker, re-disconnected .
00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:09.592
This is carlos whittaker, re-disconnected . do you know what?
00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:10.793
Re-disconnected . do you know what? he doesn't even have
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:12.061
Do you know what? he doesn't even have a title of a ministry
00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:13.163
He doesn't even have a title of a ministry even though he was a musician
00:01:13.229 --> 00:01:14.364
A title of a ministry even though he was a musician in andy stanley's church;
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:15.632
Even though he was a musician in andy stanley's church; he's the son
00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:17.033
In andy stanley's church; he's the son of charles stanley,
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.268
He's the son of charles stanley, probably now more famous
00:01:18.334 --> 00:01:19.669
Of charles stanley, probably now more famous than his daddy.
00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:20.937
Probably now more famous than his daddy. but carlos just found himself
00:01:21.004 --> 00:01:23.573
Than his daddy. but carlos just found himself being led by god
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.742
But carlos just found himself being led by god in a very supernatural way.
00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:27.944
Being led by god in a very supernatural way. one thing that happened to him
00:01:28.011 --> 00:01:29.746
In a very supernatural way. one thing that happened to him was he was literally
00:01:29.812 --> 00:01:32.415
One thing that happened to him was he was literally separated from,
00:01:32.482 --> 00:01:33.783
Was he was literally separated from, i don't want to use
00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:35.018
Separated from, i don't want to use the word divorced
00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:36.186
I don't want to use the word divorced but he was separated
00:01:36.252 --> 00:01:37.420
The word divorced but he was separated from the phone
00:01:37.487 --> 00:01:38.588
But he was separated from the phone and the tech world
00:01:38.655 --> 00:01:39.822
From the phone and the tech world beginning to control
00:01:39.889 --> 00:01:41.057
And the tech world beginning to control his world.
00:01:41.124 --> 00:01:42.325
Beginning to control his world. i'll let him tell us about it.
00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:43.626
His world. i'll let him tell us about it. carlos whittaker has a book
00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:44.994
I'll let him tell us about it. carlos whittaker has a book called re-disconnected .
00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:47.664
Carlos whittaker has a book called re-disconnected . okay, carlos,
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.232
Called re-disconnected . okay, carlos, let's just cut to the chase.
00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:50.733
Okay, carlos, let's just cut to the chase. what do you mean
00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:51.968
Let's just cut to the chase. what do you mean by re-disconnected ?
00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:53.469
What do you mean by re-disconnected ? carlos: well,
00:01:53.536 --> 00:01:54.704
By re-disconnected ? carlos: well, let's look at this.
00:01:54.771 --> 00:01:55.905
Carlos: well, let's look at this. disconnected is what
00:01:55.972 --> 00:01:57.207
"oh, you weren't on your phone
00:01:58.608 --> 00:01:59.842
"oh, you weren't on your phone for eight weeks?
00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:01.177
For eight weeks? you must have been
00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:02.512
You must have been disconnected."
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:03.680
Disconnected." i thought
00:02:03.746 --> 00:02:04.814
I thought i guess that was true
00:02:04.881 --> 00:02:05.949
I guess that was true but do you know what?
00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:07.183
I got reconnected with god.
00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:09.419
I got reconnected with god. that's why i scratched out
00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:10.486
I got reconnected with god. that's why i scratched out the dis and it says,
00:02:10.553 --> 00:02:11.654
That's why i scratched out the dis and it says, reconnected on there.
00:02:11.754 --> 00:02:12.822
The dis and it says, reconnected on there. so it is a little play
00:02:12.889 --> 00:02:13.923
Reconnected on there. so it is a little play on words.
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:15.024
So it is a little play on words. james: so the "connected"
00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:16.159
On words. james: so the "connected" is far more important
00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:17.360
James: so the "connected" is far more important than the "dis."
00:02:17.427 --> 00:02:18.528
Is far more important than the "dis." but if the "dis"
00:02:18.595 --> 00:02:19.662
Than the "dis." but if the "dis" hadn't happened
00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:20.730
But if the "dis" hadn't happened the "re"
00:02:20.797 --> 00:02:21.764
Hadn't happened the "re" might not have happened.
00:02:21.831 --> 00:02:22.832
The "re" might not have happened. carlos: oh, now you're --
00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:24.000
Might not have happened. carlos: oh, now you're -- this is why you're so good
00:02:24.067 --> 00:02:25.001
Carlos: oh, now you're -- this is why you're so good at your job.
00:02:25.068 --> 00:02:26.202
This is why you're so good at your job. that's so good! it is true.
00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:27.403
At your job. that's so good! it is true. james: i'm not a tech person.
00:02:27.470 --> 00:02:28.738
That's so good! it is true. james: i'm not a tech person. i'm the lowest-level
00:02:28.805 --> 00:02:29.806
James: i'm not a tech person. i'm the lowest-level tech person on the planet.
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:31.574
I'm the lowest-level tech person on the planet. i have to call somebody
00:02:31.641 --> 00:02:33.009
Tech person on the planet. i have to call somebody to help me with anything
00:02:33.076 --> 00:02:34.210
I have to call somebody to help me with anything connected with technical.
00:02:34.277 --> 00:02:35.278
To help me with anything connected with technical. i had to ask some of my staff
00:02:35.345 --> 00:02:37.046
Connected with technical. i had to ask some of my staff a while ago
00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:38.181
I had to ask some of my staff a while ago how to hang up my iphone.
00:02:38.248 --> 00:02:40.984
A while ago how to hang up my iphone. can you believe that?
00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:42.619
How to hang up my iphone. can you believe that? what's with this?
00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:44.287
Can you believe that? what's with this? i'm not a tech person.
00:02:44.354 --> 00:02:46.189
What's with this? i'm not a tech person. but i do live, let's say,
00:02:46.256 --> 00:02:48.758
I'm not a tech person. but i do live, let's say, in a tech world
00:02:48.825 --> 00:02:50.059
But i do live, let's say, in a tech world because i do use the iphone.
00:02:50.126 --> 00:02:51.361
In a tech world because i do use the iphone. thank god!
00:02:51.427 --> 00:02:52.528
Because i do use the iphone. thank god! it's a lot easier to use
00:02:52.595 --> 00:02:53.696
Thank god! it's a lot easier to use than a lot of other ways
00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:54.864
It's a lot easier to use than a lot of other ways we had to go.
00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:56.132
Than a lot of other ways we had to go. but i can easily see
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:57.467
We had to go. but i can easily see how distracted people become
00:02:57.533 --> 00:02:58.901
But i can easily see how distracted people become by the tech world
00:02:58.968 --> 00:03:00.236
How distracted people become by the tech world and by the phone.
00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.437
By the tech world and by the phone. was the phone in some ways
00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:02.739
And by the phone. was the phone in some ways just consuming your time?
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:04.140
Was the phone in some ways just consuming your time? carlos: it absolutely was.
00:03:04.207 --> 00:03:05.375
Just consuming your time? carlos: it absolutely was. one of the things
00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:06.709
Carlos: it absolutely was. one of the things that you've taught many of us
00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:07.977
One of the things that you've taught many of us your entire career in ministry
00:03:08.044 --> 00:03:09.212
That you've taught many of us your entire career in ministry is how to hear
00:03:09.279 --> 00:03:10.480
Your entire career in ministry is how to hear the voice of god.
00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:11.781
Is how to hear the voice of god. i would say that
00:03:11.848 --> 00:03:13.116
The voice of god. i would say that you are a conduit of that.
00:03:13.182 --> 00:03:14.417
I would say that you are a conduit of that. and i would say
00:03:14.484 --> 00:03:15.652
You are a conduit of that. and i would say that my ability
00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:17.020
And i would say that my ability to hear the voice of god
00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:18.388
That my ability to hear the voice of god was getting muted
00:03:18.454 --> 00:03:19.689
To hear the voice of god was getting muted and muted and muted.
00:03:19.756 --> 00:03:21.090
Was getting muted and muted and muted. the one correlation
00:03:21.157 --> 00:03:22.458
And muted and muted. the one correlation i could find
00:03:22.525 --> 00:03:23.826
The one correlation i could find was that the more time
00:03:23.893 --> 00:03:25.161
I could find was that the more time i was looking at my phone,
00:03:25.228 --> 00:03:26.429
Was that the more time i was looking at my phone, the harder it was to hear
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:27.697
I was looking at my phone, the harder it was to hear the voice of god.
00:03:27.764 --> 00:03:29.032
The harder it was to hear the voice of god. so i started to think,
00:03:29.098 --> 00:03:30.533
The voice of god. so i started to think, i wonder what
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:31.734
So i started to think, i wonder what my actual screen time is?
00:03:31.801 --> 00:03:33.803
I wonder what my actual screen time is? now as a 51-year-old man
00:03:33.870 --> 00:03:36.205
My actual screen time is? now as a 51-year-old man who runs
00:03:36.272 --> 00:03:37.707
Now as a 51-year-old man who runs a solarpreneur company,
00:03:37.774 --> 00:03:38.975
Who runs a solarpreneur company, i'm on my phone a lot.
00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:40.810
A solarpreneur company, i'm on my phone a lot. i realized i was on my phone
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:42.345
I'm on my phone a lot. i realized i was on my phone seven and a half hours a day;
00:03:42.412 --> 00:03:44.614
I realized i was on my phone seven and a half hours a day; that's how long
00:03:44.681 --> 00:03:46.015
Seven and a half hours a day; that's how long i was on my phone.
00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:47.183
That's how long i was on my phone. now, before the rest
00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:48.418
I was on my phone. now, before the rest of your viewing audience
00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:49.719
Now, before the rest of your viewing audience judges me,
00:03:49.786 --> 00:03:50.920
Of your viewing audience judges me, the average american
00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:52.221
Judges me, the average american is on their phone
00:03:52.288 --> 00:03:53.456
The average american is on their phone six hours a day.
00:03:53.523 --> 00:03:54.757
Is on their phone six hours a day. james, i did the math.
00:03:54.824 --> 00:03:56.025
Six hours a day. james, i did the math. seven hours a day
00:03:56.092 --> 00:03:57.460
James, i did the math. seven hours a day is 49 hours a week;
00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:58.795
Seven hours a day is 49 hours a week; that's two entire cycles
00:03:58.861 --> 00:04:00.063
Is 49 hours a week; that's two entire cycles of the sun,
00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:01.331
That's two entire cycles of the sun, i was looking at my phone.
00:04:01.397 --> 00:04:02.632
Of the sun, i was looking at my phone. that equals 100 days a year,
00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:04.534
I was looking at my phone. that equals 100 days a year, so three months a year.
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.402
That equals 100 days a year, so three months a year. if i live to be
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:07.637
So three months a year. if i live to be your glorious age
00:04:07.704 --> 00:04:08.838
If i live to be your glorious age of 81 years old,
00:04:08.905 --> 00:04:10.073
Your glorious age of 81 years old, i will lose
00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:11.474
Of 81 years old, i will lose 12 years of my life
00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:12.909
I will lose 12 years of my life looking at my phone.
00:04:12.975 --> 00:04:14.243
12 years of my life looking at my phone. that was the moment
00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:15.812
Looking at my phone. that was the moment of definition for me.
00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:17.180
That was the moment of definition for me. i said, lord,
00:04:17.246 --> 00:04:18.548
Of definition for me. i said, lord, i don't know
00:04:18.614 --> 00:04:20.049
I said, lord, i don't know what i was created to do
00:04:20.116 --> 00:04:21.217
I don't know what i was created to do but i know it wasn't this.
00:04:21.284 --> 00:04:22.552
What i was created to do but i know it wasn't this. what can i do?
00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:23.820
But i know it wasn't this. what can i do? so i decided to experiment.
00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:25.388
What can i do? so i decided to experiment. the experiment was
00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:26.956
So i decided to experiment. the experiment was could i live for two months,
00:04:27.023 --> 00:04:29.726
The experiment was could i live for two months, seven and a half weeks,
00:04:29.792 --> 00:04:31.127
Could i live for two months, seven and a half weeks, and never look
00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:32.395
Seven and a half weeks, and never look at a single screen?
00:04:32.462 --> 00:04:33.496
And never look at a single screen? so i didn't look
00:04:33.563 --> 00:04:34.797
At a single screen? so i didn't look at an iphone, an apple watch,
00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:35.898
So i didn't look at an iphone, an apple watch, a tv, a laptop, or an ipad;
00:04:35.965 --> 00:04:37.166
At an iphone, an apple watch, a tv, a laptop, or an ipad; i never consumed
00:04:37.233 --> 00:04:38.868
A tv, a laptop, or an ipad; i never consumed any information...
00:04:38.935 --> 00:04:39.969
I never consumed any information... james: how did you
00:04:40.036 --> 00:04:41.104
Any information... james: how did you let everybody know
00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:42.271
James: how did you let everybody know you weren't dead?
00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.439
Let everybody know you weren't dead? carlos: that's
00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:44.741
You weren't dead? carlos: that's a great question!
00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:46.075
Carlos: that's a great question! so i moved to a monastery
00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:47.543
A great question! so i moved to a monastery for the first half of it,
00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:49.045
So i moved to a monastery for the first half of it, a benedictine monastery.
00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:50.380
For the first half of it, a benedictine monastery. and then i moved
00:04:50.446 --> 00:04:51.647
A benedictine monastery. and then i moved to an amish farm
00:04:51.714 --> 00:04:52.782
And then i moved to an amish farm for the second half of it.
00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:54.016
To an amish farm for the second half of it. my wife would have to call me
00:04:54.083 --> 00:04:55.284
For the second half of it. my wife would have to call me on a pay phone
00:04:55.351 --> 00:04:57.120
My wife would have to call me on a pay phone like it was 1985.
00:04:57.186 --> 00:04:58.921
On a pay phone like it was 1985. i'd walk to a pay phone
00:04:58.988 --> 00:05:00.923
Like it was 1985. i'd walk to a pay phone at 3:00 every other day
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:02.492
I'd walk to a pay phone at 3:00 every other day and i'd wait for it to ring,
00:05:02.558 --> 00:05:04.060
At 3:00 every other day and i'd wait for it to ring, and it would ring
00:05:04.127 --> 00:05:05.228
And i'd wait for it to ring, and it would ring and my wife would call me.
00:05:05.294 --> 00:05:07.163
And it would ring and my wife would call me. james: the amish
00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:08.331
And my wife would call me. james: the amish didn't have any phones.
00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:09.499
James: the amish didn't have any phones. carlos: the amish
00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:10.700
Didn't have any phones. carlos: the amish didn't have any phones
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:11.734
Carlos: the amish didn't have any phones so she just had to wait
00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:12.835
Didn't have any phones so she just had to wait until i was done there.
00:05:12.902 --> 00:05:14.570
So she just had to wait until i was done there. so the kicker is
00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:15.605
Until i was done there. so the kicker is i wanted to not only know
00:05:15.671 --> 00:05:16.839
So the kicker is i wanted to not only know what happened in my soul,
00:05:16.906 --> 00:05:18.107
I wanted to not only know what happened in my soul, i think a lot of us would say
00:05:18.174 --> 00:05:19.542
What happened in my soul, i think a lot of us would say gosh, maybe these devices
00:05:19.609 --> 00:05:21.043
I think a lot of us would say gosh, maybe these devices are muting the voice of god
00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:22.779
Gosh, maybe these devices are muting the voice of god in our soul,
00:05:22.845 --> 00:05:23.880
Are muting the voice of god in our soul, but i wanted to see
00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.014
In our soul, but i wanted to see what it was doing in my brain.
00:05:25.081 --> 00:05:26.115
But i wanted to see what it was doing in my brain. so i went
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:27.216
What it was doing in my brain. so i went and got my brain scanned
00:05:27.283 --> 00:05:28.451
So i went and got my brain scanned by a neuroscientist before
00:05:28.518 --> 00:05:29.619
And got my brain scanned by a neuroscientist before and after this experiment.
00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:31.020
By a neuroscientist before and after this experiment. yes, i lived with monks,
00:05:31.087 --> 00:05:33.022
And then
00:05:34.457 --> 00:05:35.725
And then i lived with my family
00:05:35.792 --> 00:05:36.826
I lived with my family for a few weeks
00:05:36.893 --> 00:05:38.060
For a few weeks without a device as well,
00:05:38.127 --> 00:05:39.228
Without a device as well, and got my brain scanned.
00:05:39.295 --> 00:05:40.263
And got my brain scanned. let me tell you
00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:41.431
Let me tell you about the brain scan first,
00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:42.565
Of the lessons that i learned.
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.001
Of the lessons that i learned. when i got my brain scanned
00:05:45.067 --> 00:05:46.202
Of the lessons that i learned. when i got my brain scanned before,
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:47.336
When i got my brain scanned before, when i was on my phone
00:05:47.403 --> 00:05:48.538
Before, when i was on my phone seven hours a day,
00:05:48.604 --> 00:05:49.705
When i was on my phone seven hours a day, my cognitive memory score --
00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:51.007
Seven hours a day, my cognitive memory score -- so my father has dementia.
00:05:51.073 --> 00:05:52.175
My cognitive memory score -- so my father has dementia. i care take for my father,
00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:53.709
So my father has dementia. i care take for my father, along with my mother,
00:05:53.776 --> 00:05:54.811
I care take for my father, along with my mother, every day so i see
00:05:54.877 --> 00:05:56.012
Along with my mother, every day so i see the effects of what dementia
00:05:56.078 --> 00:05:57.246
Every day so i see the effects of what dementia has on somebody.
00:05:57.313 --> 00:05:58.548
The effects of what dementia has on somebody. i just try to do everything
00:05:58.614 --> 00:06:00.049
Has on somebody. i just try to do everything i can.
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:01.217
I just try to do everything i can. like what can i do in my life
00:06:01.284 --> 00:06:02.318
I can. like what can i do in my life in what i eat
00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:03.319
Like what can i do in my life in what i eat and how i exercise
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:04.387
In what i eat and how i exercise and do things
00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:05.455
And how i exercise and do things so this may not happen to me.
00:06:05.521 --> 00:06:06.722
And do things so this may not happen to me. i was in the 50th percentile
00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:08.658
So this may not happen to me. i was in the 50th percentile of memory for men in america
00:06:08.724 --> 00:06:10.593
I was in the 50th percentile of memory for men in america before this experiment.
00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:12.428
Of memory for men in america before this experiment. when i finished
00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:13.596
Before this experiment. when i finished and did not look at a phone
00:06:13.663 --> 00:06:14.897
When i finished and did not look at a phone for seven and a half weeks,
00:06:14.964 --> 00:06:16.299
And did not look at a phone for seven and a half weeks, when i got my brain rescanned
00:06:16.365 --> 00:06:17.834
For seven and a half weeks, when i got my brain rescanned and did my
00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:19.001
When i got my brain rescanned and did my cognitive memory score,
00:06:19.068 --> 00:06:20.136
And did my cognitive memory score, my brain
00:06:20.203 --> 00:06:21.337
Cognitive memory score, my brain was at the 99th percentile
00:06:21.404 --> 00:06:22.705
My brain was at the 99th percentile of memory for men in america.
00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:25.007
Was at the 99th percentile of memory for men in america. only one percent of men
00:06:25.074 --> 00:06:26.442
Of memory for men in america. only one percent of men had a better memory than me.
00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:27.810
Only one percent of men had a better memory than me. i thought to myself,
00:06:27.877 --> 00:06:29.011
Had a better memory than me. i thought to myself, these are not smartphones,
00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:30.680
I thought to myself, these are not smartphones, they're dumb phones.
00:06:30.746 --> 00:06:31.781
These are not smartphones, they're dumb phones. they're making us dumb.
00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:33.149
They're dumb phones. they're making us dumb. and so it's pretty
00:06:33.216 --> 00:06:35.251
They're making us dumb. and so it's pretty mind-blowing the effects.
00:06:35.318 --> 00:06:39.856
And so it's pretty mind-blowing the effects. the big part of my brain
00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:41.424
Mind-blowing the effects. the big part of my brain healed about five years
00:06:41.491 --> 00:06:42.892
The big part of my brain healed about five years in those seven weeks.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.193
Healed about five years in those seven weeks. so just the data,
00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:45.561
In those seven weeks. so just the data, scientifically itself,
00:06:45.628 --> 00:06:47.630
So just the data, scientifically itself, is proof in the pudding
00:06:47.697 --> 00:06:49.165
Scientifically itself, is proof in the pudding that we need to spend
00:06:49.232 --> 00:06:50.566
Is proof in the pudding that we need to spend a little less time.
00:06:50.633 --> 00:06:51.801
That we need to spend a little less time. so i spent those seven weeks
00:06:51.868 --> 00:06:53.636
A little less time. so i spent those seven weeks with the monks and the amish
00:06:53.703 --> 00:06:55.371
So i spent those seven weeks with the monks and the amish and i had an incredible time.
00:06:55.438 --> 00:06:56.839
With the monks and the amish and i had an incredible time. and lots of great lessons
00:06:56.906 --> 00:06:57.940
And i had an incredible time. and lots of great lessons from the monks,
00:06:58.007 --> 00:06:59.041
And lots of great lessons from the monks, lots of great lessons
00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:00.109
From the monks, lots of great lessons from the amish.
00:07:00.176 --> 00:07:01.210
Lots of great lessons from the amish. james: did they act like they
00:07:01.277 --> 00:07:02.245
From the amish. james: did they act like they learned anything from you?
00:07:02.311 --> 00:07:03.279
James: did they act like they learned anything from you? carlos: they did!
00:07:03.346 --> 00:07:04.313
Learned anything from you? carlos: they did! james: i'm serious.
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:05.348
Carlos: they did! james: i'm serious. carlos: no, they did.
00:07:05.414 --> 00:07:06.382
James: i'm serious. carlos: no, they did. james: what did they think
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:07.416
Carlos: no, they did. james: what did they think about what you had
00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:08.451
James: what did they think about what you had separated yourself from?
00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:09.452
About what you had separated yourself from? carlos: oh, i love
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:10.486
Separated yourself from? carlos: oh, i love that question because,
00:07:10.553 --> 00:07:11.487
Carlos: oh, i love that question because, you'd never know it,
00:07:11.554 --> 00:07:12.555
That question because, you'd never know it, but monks have phones.
00:07:12.622 --> 00:07:13.823
You'd never know it, but monks have phones. when i'm sitting there with
00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:16.058
But monks have phones. when i'm sitting there with father francis in his study
00:07:16.125 --> 00:07:17.760
When i'm sitting there with father francis in his study and he has all these books
00:07:17.827 --> 00:07:18.995
Father francis in his study and he has all these books around him and he is in this
00:07:19.061 --> 00:07:20.096
And he has all these books around him and he is in this big brown robe with this big
00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:21.163
Around him and he is in this big brown robe with this big black belt and i'm talking
00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:22.331
Big brown robe with this big black belt and i'm talking about life in god,
00:07:22.398 --> 00:07:23.566
Black belt and i'm talking about life in god, i'll never forget i'm sharing
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:25.001
About life in god, i'll never forget i'm sharing my deepest heartaches
00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:28.137
I'll never forget i'm sharing my deepest heartaches and his phone goes [bzz bzz]
00:07:28.204 --> 00:07:30.406
My deepest heartaches and his phone goes [bzz bzz] on his desk
00:07:30.473 --> 00:07:31.574
And his phone goes [bzz bzz] on his desk right in front of him.
00:07:31.641 --> 00:07:32.742
On his desk right in front of him. i thought, did this monk
00:07:32.808 --> 00:07:35.044
Right in front of him. i thought, did this monk just leave this conversation?
00:07:35.111 --> 00:07:37.046
I thought, did this monk just leave this conversation? he picked up his phone
00:07:37.113 --> 00:07:38.047
Just leave this conversation? he picked up his phone and said, "i'm sorry, carlos."
00:07:38.114 --> 00:07:39.048
He picked up his phone and said, "i'm sorry, carlos." he's like, "hold on,
00:07:39.115 --> 00:07:40.116
And said, "i'm sorry, carlos." he's like, "hold on, it's my brother."
00:07:40.182 --> 00:07:41.117
He's like, "hold on, it's my brother." he types
00:07:41.183 --> 00:07:42.118
It's my brother." he types and puts it back down.
00:07:42.184 --> 00:07:43.519
He types and puts it back down. i was like, this is actually
00:07:43.586 --> 00:07:45.154
And puts it back down. i was like, this is actually what i'm trying to get.
00:07:45.221 --> 00:07:46.155
I was like, this is actually what i'm trying to get. he goes,
00:07:46.222 --> 00:07:47.189
What i'm trying to get. he goes, "oh, carlos, i'm so sorry.
00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:48.357
He goes, "oh, carlos, i'm so sorry. maybe i need to read your book
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:49.525
"oh, carlos, i'm so sorry. maybe i need to read your book when you're done writing it."
00:07:49.592 --> 00:07:50.693
Maybe i need to read your book when you're done writing it." because even monks,
00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:51.861
When you're done writing it." because even monks, even the amish were all going
00:07:51.928 --> 00:07:53.663
Because even monks, even the amish were all going through this season of life
00:07:53.729 --> 00:07:55.097
Even the amish were all going through this season of life where technology
00:07:55.164 --> 00:07:56.599
Through this season of life where technology might just get in the way
00:07:56.666 --> 00:07:58.501
Where technology might just get in the way of us hearing
00:07:58.568 --> 00:07:59.569
Might just get in the way of us hearing the voice of god
00:07:59.635 --> 00:08:00.636
Of us hearing the voice of god and being present
00:08:00.703 --> 00:08:01.704
The voice of god and being present with other people.
00:08:01.771 --> 00:08:02.805
A lot from me as well.
00:08:04.006 --> 00:08:05.074
A lot from me as well. james: have you felt
00:08:05.141 --> 00:08:06.175
James: have you felt in your own spiritual life
00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.276
In your own spiritual life what has come to you as
00:08:07.343 --> 00:08:08.477
Carlos: oh, my goodness!
00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:11.047
Carlos: oh, my goodness! it's a gigantic difference.
00:08:11.113 --> 00:08:13.583
Carlos: oh, my goodness! it's a gigantic difference. let me tell you this.
00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:15.217
It's a gigantic difference. let me tell you this. one of the first things
00:08:15.284 --> 00:08:16.352
Let me tell you this. one of the first things i learned
00:08:16.419 --> 00:08:17.587
One of the first things i learned when i was with the monks
00:08:17.653 --> 00:08:18.788
I learned when i was with the monks was the difference
00:08:18.854 --> 00:08:19.989
When i was with the monks was the difference in who i was before
00:08:20.056 --> 00:08:21.123
Was the difference in who i was before and who i was after,
00:08:21.190 --> 00:08:22.224
In who i was before and who i was after, is i think god created us
00:08:22.291 --> 00:08:24.694
And who i was after, is i think god created us with a certain capacity
00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:26.629
Is i think god created us with a certain capacity to know what we know.
00:08:26.696 --> 00:08:28.164
With a certain capacity to know what we know. but these devices
00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:29.732
To know what we know. but these devices have given us the ability to,
00:08:29.799 --> 00:08:31.067
But these devices have given us the ability to, i honestly believe,
00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:32.568
Have given us the ability to, i honestly believe, know more than god ever
00:08:32.635 --> 00:08:34.070
I honestly believe, know more than god ever intended us to know.
00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:35.938
Know more than god ever intended us to know. i don't think
00:08:36.005 --> 00:08:37.206
Intended us to know. i don't think we were supposed to know
00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:38.274
I don't think we were supposed to know every answer to everything
00:08:38.341 --> 00:08:39.542
We were supposed to know every answer to everything in the universe.
00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:40.576
Every answer to everything in the universe. but google,
00:08:40.643 --> 00:08:41.777
In the universe. but google, i call it "the wonder killer."
00:08:41.844 --> 00:08:43.546
But google, i call it "the wonder killer." do you remember those days
00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:44.947
I call it "the wonder killer." do you remember those days when people used to say,
00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:46.048
Do you remember those days when people used to say, "well, i wonder
00:08:46.115 --> 00:08:47.283
When people used to say, "well, i wonder what happened in 1934?"
00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:48.718
Well, now,
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:52.688
Well, now, people don't wonder anymore.
00:08:52.755 --> 00:08:53.789
People don't wonder anymore. what happens?
00:08:53.856 --> 00:08:54.824
What happens? they pick it up
00:08:54.890 --> 00:08:55.825
They pick it up and they find the answer.
00:08:55.891 --> 00:08:56.859
And they find the answer. so something i've done
00:08:56.926 --> 00:08:57.960
So something i've done that i've started to do
00:08:58.027 --> 00:08:59.028
That i've started to do with all my friends is
00:08:59.095 --> 00:09:00.029
Or something and someone says,
00:09:01.130 --> 00:09:02.231
Or something and someone says, "i wonder," if someone
00:09:02.298 --> 00:09:03.265
Or something and someone says, "i wonder," if someone picks up their phone
00:09:03.332 --> 00:09:04.467
"i wonder," if someone picks up their phone i say, "nope! put it down.
00:09:04.533 --> 00:09:05.668
Picks up their phone i say, "nope! put it down. we're just going to wonder.
00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:07.403
I say, "nope! put it down. we're just going to wonder. we're just going to sit here
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:08.671
We're just going to wonder. we're just going to sit here and sit in the beauty
00:09:08.738 --> 00:09:09.739
We're just going to sit here and sit in the beauty of who god created us to be
00:09:09.805 --> 00:09:11.140
And sit in the beauty of who god created us to be and wonder."
00:09:11.207 --> 00:09:12.375
Of who god created us to be and wonder." so there are
00:09:12.441 --> 00:09:13.476
And wonder." so there are all these practices, james,
00:09:13.542 --> 00:09:14.710
So there are all these practices, james, that i've been able
00:09:14.777 --> 00:09:15.878
All these practices, james, that i've been able to reconnect with.
00:09:15.945 --> 00:09:16.946
That i've been able to reconnect with. the practice of savoring,
00:09:17.013 --> 00:09:19.048
To reconnect with. the practice of savoring, of silence.
00:09:19.115 --> 00:09:20.416
The practice of savoring, of silence. "be still
00:09:20.483 --> 00:09:22.084
Of silence. "be still and know that i am god."
00:09:22.151 --> 00:09:25.154
"be still and know that i am god." well, i was not being still
00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:27.390
And know that i am god." well, i was not being still before i went
00:09:27.456 --> 00:09:28.658
Well, i was not being still before i went to the monastery
00:09:28.724 --> 00:09:29.825
Before i went to the monastery or the amish.
00:09:29.892 --> 00:09:30.893
To the monastery or the amish. i was moving at 100 miles
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.994
Or the amish. i was moving at 100 miles an hour.
00:09:32.061 --> 00:09:33.062
I was moving at 100 miles an hour. but i looked
00:09:33.129 --> 00:09:34.130
An hour. but i looked at the ministry of jesus,
00:09:34.196 --> 00:09:35.231
But i looked at the ministry of jesus, and jesus and his disciples
00:09:35.297 --> 00:09:36.465
At the ministry of jesus, and jesus and his disciples walked everywhere.
00:09:36.532 --> 00:09:37.633
And jesus and his disciples walked everywhere. they didn't get in a car.
00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:38.768
Walked everywhere. they didn't get in a car. it doesn't say
00:09:38.834 --> 00:09:39.835
They didn't get in a car. it doesn't say they were riding horses.
00:09:39.902 --> 00:09:40.903
It doesn't say they were riding horses. maybe they were,
00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:42.038
They were riding horses. maybe they were, i don't think so.
00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:43.072
Maybe they were, i don't think so. so when a human being walks,
00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:44.206
I don't think so. so when a human being walks, they walk
00:09:44.273 --> 00:09:45.441
So when a human being walks, they walk at three miles an hour.
00:09:45.508 --> 00:09:46.575
Was three miles an hour.
00:09:48.411 --> 00:09:51.113
Was three miles an hour. how fast is my ministry going?
00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:52.915
How fast is my ministry going? oh my goodness!
00:09:52.982 --> 00:09:54.216
Oh my goodness! maybe if i'm moving
00:09:54.283 --> 00:09:55.418
Maybe if i'm moving at 100 miles an hour
00:09:55.484 --> 00:09:56.485
At 100 miles an hour and jesus moved
00:09:56.552 --> 00:09:57.753
Now who is following who?
00:09:58.988 --> 00:10:00.389
Now who is following who? so i realized
00:10:00.456 --> 00:10:01.524
Now who is following who? so i realized that i've got to slow down.
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:02.725
So i realized that i've got to slow down. i can still do great things
00:10:02.792 --> 00:10:03.893
That i've got to slow down. i can still do great things with -- you do great things
00:10:03.959 --> 00:10:04.994
I can still do great things with -- you do great things with television
00:10:05.061 --> 00:10:06.095
With -- you do great things with television and all these amazing things,
00:10:06.162 --> 00:10:07.229
With television and all these amazing things, but i think we have
00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:08.397
And all these amazing things, but i think we have to purposely move
00:10:08.464 --> 00:10:09.632
But i think we have to purposely move at god's speed in order
00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:10.833
To purposely move at god's speed in order to truly follow jesus.
00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:12.935
At god's speed in order to truly follow jesus. james: all right.
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:14.270
To truly follow jesus. james: all right. what are some
00:10:14.336 --> 00:10:15.304
James: all right. what are some of the first things that you
00:10:15.371 --> 00:10:16.672
What are some of the first things that you saw happening positively
00:10:16.739 --> 00:10:17.840
Of the first things that you saw happening positively in your own life?
00:10:17.907 --> 00:10:19.008
Saw happening positively in your own life? carlos: oh, my goodness!
00:10:19.075 --> 00:10:20.176
In your own life? carlos: oh, my goodness! i got home and
00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:21.343
Carlos: oh, my goodness! i got home and my 16-year-old daughter said,

I got home and my 16-year-old daughter said, "dad, daddy, this is
00:10:22.578 --> 00:10:23.679
My 16-year-old daughter said, "dad, daddy, this is the purest version of a father
00:10:23.746 --> 00:10:25.081
"dad, daddy, this is the purest version of a father i've ever had."

My wife said, she even says now, "i miss amish carlos."

She even says now, "i miss amish carlos." because i came home

00:12:25.835 --> 00:12:26.802
More and more people are desiring to spend less and less time

With their thumbs on a screen. they're desiring this human connection.
00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.310
They're desiring this human connection. so i think it is a pain point
00:12:34.376 --> 00:12:35.411
This human connection. so i think it is a pain point in america right now
00:12:35.477 --> 00:12:36.612
So i think it is a pain point in america right now where i think
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:37.713
In america right now where i think it is very important
00:12:37.780 --> 00:12:38.781
Where i think it is very important to understand
00:12:38.848 --> 00:12:39.815
It is very important to understand the current cultural context,
00:12:39.882 --> 00:12:40.816
To understand the current cultural context, to understand what's
00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:41.851
The current cultural context, to understand what's happening in politics,
00:12:41.917 --> 00:12:43.018
To understand what's happening in politics, policies, all these things
00:12:43.085 --> 00:12:44.186
Happening in politics, policies, all these things are very important,
00:12:44.253 --> 00:12:45.354
Policies, all these things are very important, but i think we spend
00:12:45.421 --> 00:12:46.522
Are very important, but i think we spend too much time swimming in it.
00:12:46.589 --> 00:12:47.690
To be in a space of constantly
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:50.893
To be in a space of constantly being frustrated
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.061
Being frustrated and mad about things.
00:12:52.127 --> 00:12:53.329
And mad about things. when i think the lord
00:12:53.395 --> 00:12:54.530
When i think the lord wants us to see the beauty
00:12:54.597 --> 00:12:55.631
Wants us to see the beauty that's all around us
00:12:55.698 --> 00:12:56.732
That's all around us that we're missing
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.867
That we're missing because we're just
00:12:57.933 --> 00:12:58.901
Looking at our phones.
00:13:00.069 --> 00:13:01.003
Looking at our phones. james: i was telling you
00:13:01.070 --> 00:13:02.037
Looking at our phones. james: i was telling you before we came out here
00:13:02.104 --> 00:13:03.105
James: i was telling you before we came out here that i do hear god clearly.
00:13:03.172 --> 00:13:04.306
Before we came out here that i do hear god clearly. louder than out loud.
00:13:04.373 --> 00:13:07.743
That i do hear god clearly. louder than out loud. what i heard him just say
00:13:07.810 --> 00:13:08.911
Louder than out loud. what i heard him just say while you were talking about
00:13:08.978 --> 00:13:10.012
What i heard him just say while you were talking about what's going on,
00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:11.113
While you were talking about what's going on, "they're being manipulated."
00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:12.214
What's going on, "they're being manipulated." they're being manipulated
00:13:12.281 --> 00:13:13.315
"they're being manipulated." they're being manipulated by others but they're also
00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:14.350
They're being manipulated by others but they're also being manipulated primarily
00:13:14.416 --> 00:13:15.551
By others but they're also being manipulated primarily by the deceiver,
00:13:15.618 --> 00:13:17.386
Being manipulated primarily by the deceiver, and the distractor,
00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:18.854
By the deceiver, and the distractor, and that's perhaps
00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:19.922
And the distractor, and that's perhaps what's happening.
00:13:19.989 --> 00:13:20.990
And that's perhaps what's happening. so the book is out now
00:13:21.056 --> 00:13:22.124
What's happening. so the book is out now and you're telling me
00:13:22.191 --> 00:13:23.192
So the book is out now and you're telling me it is going quite well.
00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:24.260
And you're telling me it is going quite well. carlos: the book
00:13:24.326 --> 00:13:25.294
It is going quite well. carlos: the book is going really well.
00:13:25.361 --> 00:13:26.328
There is also a documentary
00:13:27.563 --> 00:13:28.497
There is also a documentary that i have based
00:13:28.564 --> 00:13:29.498
That i have based on the book as well.
00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:30.699
On the book as well. the documentary,
00:13:30.766 --> 00:13:31.800
The documentary, people are watching that
00:13:31.867 --> 00:13:32.902
People are watching that with their families.
00:13:32.968 --> 00:13:34.103
With their families. i took a small camera
00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:35.237
I took a small camera with me on this journey
00:13:35.304 --> 00:13:36.405
With me on this journey and every single night
00:13:36.472 --> 00:13:37.506
And every single night i would talk to it and
00:13:37.573 --> 00:13:38.574
I would talk to it and kind of pour out my thoughts
00:13:38.641 --> 00:13:39.808
So i think the documentary,
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.811
So i think the documentary, the book, it's really helpful
00:13:42.878 --> 00:13:44.546
So i think the documentary, the book, it's really helpful not only for individuals
00:13:44.613 --> 00:13:45.748
The book, it's really helpful not only for individuals to help with their screen time
00:13:45.814 --> 00:13:47.783
Not only for individuals to help with their screen time but for families as well.
00:13:47.850 --> 00:13:49.985
To help with their screen time but for families as well. people are saying
00:13:50.052 --> 00:13:51.453
But for families as well. people are saying that this rising generation
00:13:51.520 --> 00:13:52.821
People are saying that this rising generation behind us, they're just
00:13:52.888 --> 00:13:53.923
That this rising generation behind us, they're just addicted to their phones.
00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:55.024
Behind us, they're just addicted to their phones. they're addicted
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:56.125
Addicted to their phones. they're addicted to their phones.
00:13:56.191 --> 00:13:57.293
They're addicted to their phones. the one caveat i would add
00:13:57.359 --> 00:13:58.460
To their phones. the one caveat i would add is i don't think people are
00:13:58.527 --> 00:13:59.762
The one caveat i would add is i don't think people are addicted to their phones.
00:13:59.828 --> 00:14:01.497
Is i don't think people are addicted to their phones. i liken the phone
00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:02.998
Addicted to their phones. i liken the phone to a needle.
00:14:03.065 --> 00:14:04.133
I liken the phone to a needle. the phone isn't the drug,
00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:05.701
To a needle. the phone isn't the drug, it is just the needle.
00:14:05.768 --> 00:14:06.902
The phone isn't the drug, it is just the needle. what is it that the needle
00:14:06.969 --> 00:14:08.237
It is just the needle. what is it that the needle is administering to you
00:14:08.304 --> 00:14:10.306
What is it that the needle is administering to you that you're addicted to?
00:14:10.372 --> 00:14:11.507
Is administering to you that you're addicted to? that, i think is where
00:14:11.573 --> 00:14:12.741
That you're addicted to? that, i think is where the deceiver can come in.
00:14:12.808 --> 00:14:14.109
That, i think is where the deceiver can come in. it is always a lie that
00:14:14.176 --> 00:14:15.244
The deceiver can come in. it is always a lie that you believe about yourself,
00:14:15.311 --> 00:14:16.345
It is always a lie that you believe about yourself, which is why you're looking
00:14:16.412 --> 00:14:17.513
You believe about yourself, which is why you're looking at it so much
00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:18.647
Which is why you're looking at it so much trying to medicate
00:14:18.714 --> 00:14:19.782
At it so much trying to medicate whatever that lie is.
00:14:19.848 --> 00:14:20.916
Trying to medicate whatever that lie is. james: can't another form
00:14:20.983 --> 00:14:23.252
Whatever that lie is. james: can't another form of unhealthy distraction
00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:25.754
James: can't another form of unhealthy distraction or attraction
00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:27.256
Of unhealthy distraction or attraction also be the television?
00:14:27.323 --> 00:14:28.724
Or attraction also be the television? carlos: absolutely!
00:14:28.791 --> 00:14:30.492
Also be the television? carlos: absolutely! the television
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.529
Carlos: absolutely! the television can just numb us.
00:14:33.595 --> 00:14:35.497
The television can just numb us. it can get us to a place
00:14:35.564 --> 00:14:36.732
Can just numb us. it can get us to a place where i don't want
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.733
It can get us to a place where i don't want to face reality.
00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:38.734
Where i don't want to face reality. i'm just going
00:14:38.801 --> 00:14:39.735
To face reality. i'm just going to watch this show
00:14:39.802 --> 00:14:40.736
I'm just going to watch this show that is going to take me
00:14:40.803 --> 00:14:41.737
To watch this show that is going to take me somewhere else.
00:14:41.804 --> 00:14:42.738
That is going to take me somewhere else. i think it's okay.
00:14:42.805 --> 00:14:43.739
Somewhere else. i think it's okay. we all love
00:14:43.806 --> 00:14:44.740
I think it's okay. we all love different television shows.
00:14:44.807 --> 00:14:45.741
We all love different television shows. we love to be entertained.
00:14:45.808 --> 00:14:46.742
Different television shows. we love to be entertained. but when it becomes,
00:14:46.809 --> 00:14:47.743
We love to be entertained. but when it becomes, and i think you can
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:48.744
But when it becomes, and i think you can just ask yourself,
00:14:48.811 --> 00:14:49.778
And i think you can just ask yourself, is this medicating something,
00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:51.080
Just ask yourself, is this medicating something, a lie that i believe
00:14:51.146 --> 00:14:52.214
Is this medicating something, a lie that i believe about myself?
00:14:52.281 --> 00:14:53.282
A lie that i believe about myself? television can become
00:14:53.349 --> 00:14:54.283
About myself? television can become a distraction.
00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:55.451
Television can become a distraction. the phones and screens,
00:14:55.517 --> 00:14:56.585
A distraction. the phones and screens, that's just like
00:14:56.652 --> 00:14:57.820
The phones and screens, that's just like this current day and age,
00:14:57.886 --> 00:14:59.021
That's just like this current day and age, our needle.
00:14:59.088 --> 00:15:00.322
This current day and age, our needle. there was an article
00:15:00.389 --> 00:15:01.357
Our needle. there was an article that came out
00:15:01.423 --> 00:15:02.458
There was an article that came out in the new york times in 1918
00:15:02.524 --> 00:15:04.226
That came out in the new york times in 1918 where it was on the front page

And it said that the kaleidoscope is going to be

That the kaleidoscope is going to be the downfall of mankind.

They were addicted to the kaleidoscope.
00:15:17.673 --> 00:15:19.008
They were addicted to the kaleidoscope. james: hard to believe
00:15:19.074 --> 00:15:20.275
To the kaleidoscope. james: hard to believe when you have

James: hard to believe when you have such a kaleidoscope today.
00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:22.811

I'm seeing people sending messages every single day going,
00:16:30.646 --> 00:16:31.647
Sending messages every single day going, "carlos, not only can i hear

But my kids are
00:16:34.450 --> 00:16:35.451
But my kids are getting more of me."
00:16:35.517 --> 00:16:36.585
Getting more of me." if you just cut
00:16:36.652 --> 00:16:37.653
If you just cut two hours a day
00:16:37.719 --> 00:16:39.021
Two hours a day of your screen time,
00:16:39.088 --> 00:16:40.089
Of your screen time, you'll gain a month back
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.857
That's how important.
00:16:43.692 --> 00:16:44.593
That's how important. people aren't living
00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:45.594
That's how important. people aren't living 12 months a year anymore.
00:16:45.661 --> 00:16:46.595

I'm like if you just implement some of the practices that the amish

Some of the practices that the amish and the monks taught me,
00:16:51.667 --> 00:16:52.601
That the amish and the monks taught me, you can live
00:16:52.668 --> 00:16:53.602
And the monks taught me, you can live your entire life again.
00:16:53.669 --> 00:16:54.603

I want to pray. father, unhealthy attractions, unhealthy distractions

Father, unhealthy attractions, unhealthy distractions are damaging,
00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:12.454
Unhealthy distractions are damaging, and deadly, sometimes.
00:17:12.521 --> 00:17:14.823
Are damaging, and deadly, sometimes. father, free us
00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:17.893
And deadly, sometimes. father, free us from those distractions.
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:23.031

If you want to know who the christians are, just remember this,

Who the christians are, just remember this, jesus said, "the ones

Just remember this, jesus said, "the ones who feed the hungry,

They love it! but they say there is nothing
00:18:30.032 --> 00:18:31.400
But they say there is nothing that thrills us any more
00:18:31.466 --> 00:18:32.768
That thrills us any more than giving people
00:18:32.834 --> 00:18:34.203
Than giving people water for life.
00:18:34.269 --> 00:18:35.671

In so many parts of the world, they have only disease-ridden,
00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:44.346

It changes everything in a village.
00:18:58.393 --> 00:18:59.661
In a village. you know, so many times,
00:18:59.728 --> 00:19:00.996
You know, so many times, mothers and the ones
00:19:01.063 --> 00:19:03.165
Mothers and the ones old enough to carry water,
00:19:03.232 --> 00:19:04.700
Old enough to carry water, they'll walk five kilometers,
00:19:04.766 --> 00:19:06.368
They'll walk five kilometers, 10 kilometers to get water
00:19:06.435 --> 00:19:09.037
10 kilometers to get water sometimes daily,
00:19:09.104 --> 00:19:10.539
Sometimes daily, but many times a week.
00:19:10.606 --> 00:19:12.441
But many times a week. but what they're bringing back
00:19:12.507 --> 00:19:14.076
But what they're bringing back is water they have to have
00:19:14.142 --> 00:19:15.344
Is water they have to have just to live another day.
00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:17.246
Just to live another day. but they're also bringing back
00:19:17.312 --> 00:19:18.880
But they're also bringing back germs and disease.
00:19:18.947 --> 00:19:21.283
Germs and disease. they watch their loved ones
00:19:21.350 --> 00:19:22.985
They watch their loved ones and their children, too often,
00:19:23.051 --> 00:19:24.653
And their children, too often, die from a very horrible,
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.457
Die from a very horrible, terribly painful disease,
00:19:28.523 --> 00:19:31.026
Terribly painful disease, and it breaks their hearts.
00:19:31.093 --> 00:19:32.995
And it breaks their hearts. so many have lost
00:19:33.061 --> 00:19:34.529
So many have lost at least one child,
00:19:34.596 --> 00:19:35.931
At least one child, many have lost
00:19:35.998 --> 00:19:37.399
Many have lost as many as three or four.
00:19:37.466 --> 00:19:39.434
As many as three or four. but when you give them a well,
00:19:39.501 --> 00:19:41.536
But when you give them a well, you just give them new life.
00:19:41.603 --> 00:19:43.505
We want to ask you,
00:19:44.006 --> 00:19:45.240
Could you help us
00:19:45.307 --> 00:19:46.408
Drill a well?
00:19:46.475 --> 00:19:47.576
Could you possibly
00:19:47.643 --> 00:19:48.744
Drill a well?
00:19:48.810 --> 00:19:50.145
It is $4800.
00:19:50.212 --> 00:19:51.380
Could you do that?
00:19:51.446 --> 00:19:52.547
Many people
00:19:52.614 --> 00:19:53.849
Say they live every year
00:19:53.915 --> 00:19:55.183
To have that joy.
00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:56.385
They make that a goal.
00:19:56.451 --> 00:19:57.786
But then many people say,
00:19:57.853 --> 00:19:59.054
"james, i can't do that
00:19:59.121 --> 00:20:00.422
But i'll give $1200
00:20:00.489 --> 00:20:01.823
And pray three join me."
00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:03.191
And so often they do.
00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:04.693
Or "i give $2400
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:06.194
And pray another joins me."
00:20:06.261 --> 00:20:08.196
But do you know where most
00:20:08.263 --> 00:20:09.498
Of the support comes from?
00:20:09.564 --> 00:20:11.466

00:22:40.182 --> 00:22:42.684
Joseph: that's what
00:22:55.630 --> 00:22:56.798
Joseph: that's what the power of right believing
00:22:56.898 --> 00:22:58.033
The power of right believing is all about.
00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:59.501
Is all about. it is about focusing on jesus
00:22:59.568 --> 00:23:01.803
It is about focusing on jesus and his obedience.
00:23:01.870 --> 00:23:03.605
In romans 5:19:
00:23:05.173 --> 00:23:06.341
In romans 5:19: by one man's disobedience
00:23:06.408 --> 00:23:07.709
In romans 5:19: by one man's disobedience many were made sinners.
00:23:07.776 --> 00:23:09.845
By one man's disobedience many were made sinners. so that's adam's sin.
00:23:09.911 --> 00:23:11.413
Many were made sinners. so that's adam's sin. by one man's obedience,
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:13.748
So that's adam's sin. by one man's obedience, many will be made righteous.
00:23:13.815 --> 00:23:17.586
By one man's obedience, many will be made righteous. so sinners sin
00:23:17.652 --> 00:23:19.754
Many will be made righteous. so sinners sin because they are sinners.
00:23:19.821 --> 00:23:21.990
So sinners sin because they are sinners. we're not sinners
00:23:22.057 --> 00:23:23.692
Because they are sinners. we're not sinners because we sin.
00:23:23.758 --> 00:23:25.126
We're not sinners because we sin. we are sinners
00:23:25.193 --> 00:23:26.495
Because we sin. we are sinners because adam sinned.
00:23:26.561 --> 00:23:28.697
We are sinners because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners,
00:23:28.763 --> 00:23:31.066
Because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin.
00:23:31.132 --> 00:23:32.834
So adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin. now by the same token,
00:23:32.901 --> 00:23:34.569
Therefore we sin. now by the same token, it sounds so unfair;
00:23:34.636 --> 00:23:35.737
Now by the same token, it sounds so unfair; doesn't it?
00:23:35.804 --> 00:23:36.905
It sounds so unfair; doesn't it? but by the same token,
00:23:36.972 --> 00:23:38.073
Doesn't it? but by the same token, this is the divine unfairness.
00:23:38.139 --> 00:23:39.241
But by the same token, this is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience,
00:23:39.307 --> 00:23:41.376
This is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience, we're made righteous.
00:23:41.443 --> 00:23:43.979
By one man's obedience, we're made righteous. when we believe that
00:23:44.045 --> 00:23:46.014
We're made righteous. when we believe that it does not produce
00:23:46.081 --> 00:23:47.315
When we believe that it does not produce licentiousness,
00:23:47.382 --> 00:23:48.617
It does not produce licentiousness, it produces --
00:23:48.683 --> 00:23:49.818
Licentiousness, it produces -- i always say this:
00:23:49.885 --> 00:23:51.019
It produces -- i always say this: right believing
00:23:51.086 --> 00:23:52.187
I always say this: right believing produces right living.
00:23:52.254 --> 00:23:53.388
Right believing produces right living. how come sometimes
00:23:53.455 --> 00:23:54.589
Produces right living. how come sometimes we have more faith
00:23:54.656 --> 00:23:55.757
How come sometimes we have more faith in what adam has done
00:23:55.824 --> 00:23:56.925
We have more faith in what adam has done than what jesus has done.
00:23:56.992 --> 00:23:58.093
In what adam has done than what jesus has done. for example,
00:23:58.159 --> 00:23:59.261
Than what jesus has done. for example, when we were sinners,
00:23:59.327 --> 00:24:00.428
For example, when we were sinners, we knew we were taught,
00:24:00.495 --> 00:24:01.763
When we were sinners, we knew we were taught, we were preached to
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.031
We knew we were taught, we were preached to and all that
00:24:03.098 --> 00:24:04.199
We were preached to and all that that you cannot save yourself
00:24:04.266 --> 00:24:05.400
And all that that you cannot save yourself by good works.
00:24:05.467 --> 00:24:06.635
That you cannot save yourself by good works. only christ can save you.
00:24:06.701 --> 00:24:07.802
By good works. only christ can save you. in other words,
00:24:07.869 --> 00:24:09.137
Only christ can save you. in other words, what the first adam did
00:24:09.204 --> 00:24:10.338
In other words, what the first adam did was so powerful
00:24:10.405 --> 00:24:11.573
What the first adam did was so powerful that we cannot undo it
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.741
Was so powerful that we cannot undo it by our good works.
00:24:12.807 --> 00:24:14.142
That we cannot undo it by our good works. no matter what good you do,
00:24:14.209 --> 00:24:15.176
By our good works. no matter what good you do, you are still a sinner.
00:24:15.243 --> 00:24:17.012
No matter what good you do, you are still a sinner. you need to be born again.
00:24:17.078 --> 00:24:18.680
You are still a sinner. you need to be born again. but now that we are saved
00:24:18.747 --> 00:24:19.915
You need to be born again. but now that we are saved and we are made righteous
00:24:19.981 --> 00:24:21.182
But now that we are saved and we are made righteous by that one man's obedience,
00:24:21.249 --> 00:24:22.984
And we are made righteous by that one man's obedience, how come sometimes,
00:24:23.051 --> 00:24:24.686
By that one man's obedience, how come sometimes, when we sin or we fall,
00:24:24.753 --> 00:24:27.355
How come sometimes, when we sin or we fall, they tell us
00:24:27.422 --> 00:24:28.823
When we sin or we fall, they tell us now you are unrighteous,
00:24:28.890 --> 00:24:29.925
They tell us now you are unrighteous, you need to get right.
00:24:29.991 --> 00:24:31.560
Now you are unrighteous, you need to get right. in other words,
00:24:31.626 --> 00:24:32.661
You need to get right. in other words, i can undo what jesus did,
00:24:32.727 --> 00:24:34.829
In other words, i can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act.
00:24:34.896 --> 00:24:36.932
I can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner
00:24:36.998 --> 00:24:38.300
Just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo
00:24:38.366 --> 00:24:39.467
Whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo what adam did,
00:24:39.534 --> 00:24:40.735
I can't even undo what adam did, and we're not even talking
00:24:40.802 --> 00:24:41.903
What adam did, and we're not even talking about the "much more"
00:24:41.970 --> 00:24:43.138
And we're not even talking about the "much more" of the book of romans,
00:24:43.204 --> 00:24:44.372
About the "much more" of the book of romans, the "much more"
00:24:44.439 --> 00:24:45.674
Of the book of romans, the "much more" of what jesus has done.
00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.875
The "much more" of what jesus has done. we are putting them both
00:24:46.942 --> 00:24:48.009
Of what jesus has done. we are putting them both on the same ground
00:24:48.076 --> 00:24:49.177
We are putting them both on the same ground and we don't even have
00:24:49.244 --> 00:24:50.278
On the same ground and we don't even have enough respect
00:24:50.345 --> 00:24:51.479
And we don't even have enough respect and appreciation
00:24:51.546 --> 00:24:52.881
Enough respect and appreciation for what jesus has done.
00:24:52.948 --> 00:24:56.351
And appreciation for what jesus has done. believing right
00:24:56.418 --> 00:24:58.086
For what jesus has done. believing right will always produce right
00:24:58.153 --> 00:24:59.821
Believing right will always produce right because the essence
00:24:59.888 --> 00:25:01.089
Will always produce right because the essence of the gospel is
00:25:01.156 --> 00:25:02.457
Because the essence of the gospel is the just shall live by faith,
00:25:02.524 --> 00:25:03.692
Of the gospel is the just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this,
00:25:03.758 --> 00:25:04.893
The just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this, the just shall live
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.094
Or i can say it like this, the just shall live by right believing.
00:25:06.161 --> 00:25:07.862
The just shall live by right believing. so that's a lot of preaching
00:25:07.929 --> 00:25:09.397
By right believing. so that's a lot of preaching on right living --
00:25:09.464 --> 00:25:10.599
So that's a lot of preaching on right living -- right living.
00:25:10.665 --> 00:25:11.766
On right living -- right living. and we all want right living
00:25:11.833 --> 00:25:12.934
Right living. and we all want right living but how to get there
00:25:13.001 --> 00:25:14.102
And we all want right living but how to get there from here?
00:25:14.169 --> 00:25:15.270
But how to get there from here? right believing?
00:25:15.337 --> 00:25:16.438
From here? right believing? we need to get
00:25:16.504 --> 00:25:17.606
Right believing? we need to get right believing in our hearts
00:25:17.672 --> 00:25:18.773
We need to get right believing in our hearts and our thoughts,
00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:19.941
Right believing in our hearts and our thoughts, and one of the best ways
00:25:20.008 --> 00:25:21.276
And our thoughts, and one of the best ways is to know that as he is

And one of the best ways is to know that as he is so are we in this world.
00:25:22.510 --> 00:25:24.212
Is to know that as he is so are we in this world. i've got people who are
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:25.580
So are we in this world. i've got people who are bad tempered and addictions
00:25:25.647 --> 00:25:27.048
I've got people who are bad tempered and addictions and the book

On freedom from addictions, drugs, eating disorders, depression, and especially,

Drugs, eating disorders, depression, and especially, pornography, sexual sins.
00:25:54.275 --> 00:25:57.112
Depression, and especially, pornography, sexual sins. i've got a young man
00:25:57.178 --> 00:25:58.780
Pornography, sexual sins. i've got a young man from new york
00:25:58.847 --> 00:26:00.248
I've got a young man from new york who shared that he's trained

From new york who shared that he's trained in the martial arts
00:26:01.516 --> 00:26:02.617
Who shared that he's trained in the martial arts so he understands discipline.
00:26:02.684 --> 00:26:04.753
In the martial arts so he understands discipline. but he has been hooked
00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:06.121
So he understands discipline. but he has been hooked to pornography
00:26:06.187 --> 00:26:07.422
But he has been hooked to pornography ever since he was 13
00:26:07.489 --> 00:26:08.623
To pornography ever since he was 13 and now he's in his 20s.

And will power to overcome it, it got worse. but when i began to confess
