Life Today with James Robison | Jason Wilson - Making Godly Men | February 24, 2025

>> we're only masculine.
00:00:06.830 --> 00:00:08.832
We're only meant to be strong and provide.
00:00:08.832 --> 00:00:10.834
And then when we become older,
00:00:10.834 --> 00:00:12.836
When we can't do those two things,
00:00:12.836 --> 00:00:14.838
We wonder why we struggle with depression
00:00:14.838 --> 00:00:16.840
And suicidal ideations.
00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:18.842
Because our entire life or our existence
00:00:18.842 --> 00:00:21.010
Has been based on what we can do,
00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:23.012
Instead of who we truly are as men.
00:00:23.012 --> 00:00:25.148
Jason wilson helps men escape
00:00:25.148 --> 00:00:27.150
The emotional incarceration of worldly masculinity
00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:30.720
And become the man the moment demands.
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.723
Next on life today!

I know it is what you want with all your heart. when you left,

With all your heart. when you left, i sent you a gift --

Jason: i too was moved

Jason: i too was moved by our conversation.
00:01:32.916 --> 00:01:34.250
By our conversation. i walked into the hallway
00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:35.852
I walked into the hallway and bruce met me and said,
00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:37.220
And bruce met me and said, "hey, you can't fake
00:01:37.287 --> 00:01:39.889

00:01:46.462 --> 00:01:48.064
To give you $25,000." in that moment, i just broke down.
00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:49.933
In that moment, i just broke down. he said,
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:51.167
I just broke down. he said, "oh! is everything okay?"
00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:52.302
He said, "oh! is everything okay?" i'm like, "well, yes,
00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:53.503
"oh! is everything okay?" i'm like, "well, yes, you have no idea
00:01:53.570 --> 00:01:54.704
I'm like, "well, yes, you have no idea the timing of your gift."
00:01:54.771 --> 00:01:56.472
You have no idea the timing of your gift." we had just finished
00:01:56.539 --> 00:01:57.640
The timing of your gift." we had just finished our building, the renovations
00:01:57.707 --> 00:01:58.975
We had just finished our building, the renovations for the building to serve
00:01:59.042 --> 00:02:01.010
Our building, the renovations for the building to serve now over 800 boys
00:02:01.077 --> 00:02:02.478
For the building to serve now over 800 boys on our waiting list.
00:02:02.545 --> 00:02:04.480
Now over 800 boys on our waiting list. as we were getting ready
00:02:04.547 --> 00:02:06.249
On our waiting list. as we were getting ready to open, the boiler goes out.
00:02:06.316 --> 00:02:10.887
As we were getting ready to open, the boiler goes out. i told bruce
00:02:10.954 --> 00:02:12.388
To open, the boiler goes out. i told bruce what was going on.
00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:13.456
I told bruce what was going on. he says, "well,
00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:14.557
What was going on. he says, "well, how much are the boilers?"

He says, "well, how much are the boilers?" i said, "well they're $60,
00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:17.393
How much are the boilers?" i said, "well they're $60, they were $30 a piece."

"let me give you $30." i couldn't -- i was at a loss of words.
00:02:22.465 --> 00:02:24.133
I couldn't -- i was at a loss of words. so i'm flying home,
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:25.602
I was at a loss of words. so i'm flying home, i get off the plane,

So i'm flying home, i get off the plane, he texts me and says, "hey,

I get off the plane, he texts me and says, "hey, do you have a moment to talk?"
00:02:28.504 --> 00:02:29.806
He texts me and says, "hey, do you have a moment to talk?" i said, "of course, man!
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:31.307
Do you have a moment to talk?" i said, "of course, man! after what you did,
00:02:31.374 --> 00:02:32.675
I said, "of course, man! after what you did, of course, i'm so thankful."
00:02:32.742 --> 00:02:34.611
After what you did, of course, i'm so thankful." he said he had been praying,
00:02:34.677 --> 00:02:36.179
Of course, i'm so thankful." he said he had been praying, and you guys had been praying,
00:02:36.246 --> 00:02:38.147
He said he had been praying, and you guys had been praying, and holy spirit said,
00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:39.482
And you guys had been praying, and holy spirit said, "how are we helping a man,
00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:41.117
And holy spirit said, "how are we helping a man, giving him half?"
00:02:41.184 --> 00:02:43.820
"how are we helping a man, giving him half?" and you guys sent
00:02:43.886 --> 00:02:45.154
Giving him half?" and you guys sent the entire amount
00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:46.422

I truly am thankful because of the lives that we change there in that building.
00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:56.199
Of the lives that we change there in that building. it's truly substantial
00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:58.368
There in that building. it's truly substantial and needed work,
00:02:58.434 --> 00:02:59.636

A spiritual work. we help so many boys who struggle emotionally,

We help so many boys who struggle emotionally, especially even academically
00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:06.476
Who struggle emotionally, especially even academically with adhd symptoms.
00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:08.611
Especially even academically with adhd symptoms. we literally see
00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:09.946
With adhd symptoms. we literally see the holy spirit move
00:03:10.013 --> 00:03:11.281
We literally see the holy spirit move where kids are,
00:03:11.347 --> 00:03:12.849

00:03:12.915 --> 00:03:14.350

We're thanking you because we're able to do things god puts on our heart
00:03:20.390 --> 00:03:21.491
We're able to do things god puts on our heart as a ministry family,
00:03:21.557 --> 00:03:24.160
God puts on our heart as a ministry family, which that family
00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:25.395
As a ministry family, which that family includes you.
00:03:25.461 --> 00:03:26.629

The viewers of life today , you're the main source of the resources
00:03:31.134 --> 00:03:32.568
You're the main source of the resources that enable us
00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:33.636
Of the resources that enable us to pour god's love out
00:03:33.703 --> 00:03:35.305
That enable us to pour god's love out in demonstration,
00:03:35.371 --> 00:03:36.506
To pour god's love out in demonstration, not just declaration.
00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:38.274
In demonstration, not just declaration. we're able to demonstrate it.
00:03:38.341 --> 00:03:39.909
Not just declaration. we're able to demonstrate it. we're able to save lives,
00:03:39.976 --> 00:03:41.177
We're able to demonstrate it. we're able to save lives, give them water.
00:03:41.244 --> 00:03:42.278
We're able to save lives, give them water. a water well
00:03:42.345 --> 00:03:43.613
Give them water. a water well that changes everything
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.881
A water well that changes everything in the whole village,
00:03:44.947 --> 00:03:46.115
That changes everything in the whole village, and feed and save
00:03:46.182 --> 00:03:48.785
In the whole village, and feed and save millions of lives
00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:50.219
And feed and save millions of lives where they are starving.
00:03:50.286 --> 00:03:51.721
Millions of lives where they are starving. the man the moment demands ,
00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:54.223
Where they are starving. the man the moment demands , what do you want
00:03:54.290 --> 00:03:57.126
The man the moment demands , what do you want every reader to hear from god
00:03:57.193 --> 00:04:00.096
What do you want every reader to hear from god that you know
00:04:00.163 --> 00:04:01.564
Every reader to hear from god that you know he wants them to hear
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:03.132
That you know he wants them to hear that you share in this book?
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.969
He wants them to hear that you share in this book? jason: that is the,
00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:08.471
That you share in this book? jason: that is the, i would say,
00:04:08.538 --> 00:04:10.039
Jason: that is the, i would say, the blueprint to what i call
00:04:10.106 --> 00:04:11.507
I would say, the blueprint to what i call "comprehensive manhood."
00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:13.876
The blueprint to what i call "comprehensive manhood." the subtitle is: "master
00:04:13.943 --> 00:04:15.244
"comprehensive manhood." the subtitle is: "master the ten characteristics
00:04:15.311 --> 00:04:16.512
The subtitle is: "master the ten characteristics of a comprehensive man."
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:17.914
The ten characteristics of a comprehensive man." unfortunately,
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:19.248
Of a comprehensive man." unfortunately, many of us as men, stay safe
00:04:19.315 --> 00:04:21.684
Unfortunately, many of us as men, stay safe in maybe two of them:
00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:23.252
Many of us as men, stay safe in maybe two of them: the fighter and provider.
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.021
In maybe two of them: the fighter and provider. but as we were
00:04:25.088 --> 00:04:26.389
The fighter and provider. but as we were talking earlier,
00:04:26.456 --> 00:04:27.657
But as we were talking earlier, so many of our marriages
00:04:27.724 --> 00:04:28.958
Talking earlier, so many of our marriages are missing the other eight
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:30.226
So many of our marriages are missing the other eight that are needed for not only
00:04:30.293 --> 00:04:31.661
Are missing the other eight that are needed for not only men to become whole,
00:04:31.728 --> 00:04:32.995
That are needed for not only men to become whole, and our wives,
00:04:33.062 --> 00:04:34.263
Men to become whole, and our wives, but also our families,
00:04:34.330 --> 00:04:35.465
And our wives, but also our families, and in the mission
00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:36.699
But also our families, and in the mission that christ has for us all.
00:04:36.766 --> 00:04:37.934
And in the mission that christ has for us all. so my goal with this book
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.502
Become the man
00:04:41.404 --> 00:04:42.705
Become the man each moment demands
00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:43.906
Each moment demands instead of being
00:04:43.973 --> 00:04:44.941
Instead of being the wrong man in the moment.
00:04:45.007 --> 00:04:46.242
The wrong man in the moment. because of
00:04:46.309 --> 00:04:47.543
Because of these missed moments
00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:48.644
These missed moments and regrets, many men
00:04:48.711 --> 00:04:49.779
Look at it even
00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:52.982
Look at it even as a code of honor.
00:04:53.049 --> 00:04:54.183
Look at it even as a code of honor. as a result of that,
00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:56.119
As a code of honor. as a result of that, you look at our communities,
00:04:56.185 --> 00:04:57.653
As a result of that, you look at our communities, look at our churches,
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.021
You look at our communities, look at our churches, especially.
00:04:59.088 --> 00:05:00.423
Look at our churches, especially. a lot of men can't cast
00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:01.591
Especially. a lot of men can't cast their cares and their burdens
00:05:01.657 --> 00:05:02.825
A lot of men can't cast their cares and their burdens because they feel that
00:05:02.892 --> 00:05:03.993
Their cares and their burdens because they feel that we're only masculine,
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.595
Because they feel that we're only masculine, we're only meant to be strong
00:05:05.661 --> 00:05:06.863
We're only masculine, we're only meant to be strong and provide.
00:05:06.929 --> 00:05:08.197
We're only meant to be strong and provide. and then when we become older,
00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:09.499
And provide. and then when we become older, when we can't do
00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:10.733
And then when we become older, when we can't do those two things,
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:11.901
When we can't do those two things, we wonder why we struggle
00:05:11.968 --> 00:05:13.069
Those two things, we wonder why we struggle with depression
00:05:13.136 --> 00:05:14.270
We wonder why we struggle with depression and suicidal ideations.
00:05:14.337 --> 00:05:15.538
With depression and suicidal ideations. because our entire life
00:05:15.605 --> 00:05:16.773
And suicidal ideations. because our entire life or our existence has been
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.441
Because our entire life or our existence has been based on what we can do
00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:19.976
Or our existence has been based on what we can do instead of who we truly are
00:05:20.042 --> 00:05:21.577
James: when men have been
00:05:23.045 --> 00:05:24.247
James: when men have been the missing value
00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:25.548
The missing value in most families
00:05:25.615 --> 00:05:27.917
In most families how in the world do you
00:05:27.984 --> 00:05:29.018
With what you're teaching?
00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:33.389
With what you're teaching? jason: first,
00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:35.792
With what you're teaching? jason: first, i let them know they're human
00:05:35.858 --> 00:05:37.760
Jason: first, i let them know they're human and i understand.
00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:39.328
I let them know they're human and i understand. a lot of us as men feel
00:05:39.395 --> 00:05:40.596
And i understand. a lot of us as men feel that we're alone
00:05:40.663 --> 00:05:41.764
A lot of us as men feel that we're alone and that's a lie of the enemy.
00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:43.433
That we're alone and that's a lie of the enemy. we may feel lonely,
00:05:43.499 --> 00:05:44.700
And that's a lie of the enemy. we may feel lonely, but we're not alone.
00:05:44.767 --> 00:05:45.935
We may feel lonely, but we're not alone. any time i get
00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:47.336
But we're not alone. any time i get a group of men together
00:05:47.403 --> 00:05:48.571
Any time i get a group of men together and we close the door
00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:50.273
A group of men together and we close the door and talk about the heaviness
00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:52.241
And we close the door and talk about the heaviness that we deal with
00:05:52.308 --> 00:05:53.609
And talk about the heaviness that we deal with as men in society,
00:05:53.676 --> 00:05:55.344
That we deal with as men in society, men open up.
00:05:55.411 --> 00:05:58.080
As men in society, men open up. men are walking around now
00:05:58.147 --> 00:06:00.049
Men open up. men are walking around now with broken boys inside
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:01.484
Men are walking around now with broken boys inside who desire to heal.
00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:02.952
With broken boys inside who desire to heal. they're tired
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:04.287
Who desire to heal. they're tired of being hoodwinked
00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:07.590
They're tired of being hoodwinked into the world's definition
00:06:07.657 --> 00:06:09.759
Of being hoodwinked into the world's definition of manhood
00:06:09.826 --> 00:06:11.360
Into the world's definition of manhood when the ultimate
00:06:11.427 --> 00:06:12.762
Of manhood when the ultimate comprehensive man was christ.

He was the lover when he sacrificed his life for our sins.

And gave them new life. he was the gentleman when he would sit with women
00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:49.866
He was the gentleman when he would sit with women in a culture
00:06:49.932 --> 00:06:51.033
When he would sit with women in a culture when a hebrew couldn't
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.368
In a culture when a hebrew couldn't sit with women the way he did
00:06:52.435 --> 00:06:54.070
When a hebrew couldn't sit with women the way he did with no ulterior motives.
00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:57.006
Sit with women the way he did with no ulterior motives. he was a friend
00:06:57.073 --> 00:06:58.574
With no ulterior motives. he was a friend when he laid his life down
00:06:58.641 --> 00:06:59.942
He was a friend when he laid his life down for his disciples.
00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:01.377
When he laid his life down for his disciples. as we know, we can go
00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:02.445
For his disciples. as we know, we can go through the last three.
00:07:02.512 --> 00:07:03.913
As we know, we can go through the last three. he's the husband to us,
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:05.281
Through the last three. he's the husband to us, his bride the church.
00:07:05.348 --> 00:07:06.782

He is the father incarnate. although he was a son who was submitted
00:07:10.686 --> 00:07:12.054
Although he was a son who was submitted to his parents,
00:07:12.121 --> 00:07:13.122
Who was submitted to his parents, he had all authority
00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:14.357
To his parents, he had all authority in his hands
00:07:14.423 --> 00:07:15.558

So here we are as men. we desire to do all things through him
00:07:19.161 --> 00:07:20.263
We desire to do all things through him but because we only allow
00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:21.464
Through him but because we only allow ourselves to be masculine,
00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:22.765
But because we only allow ourselves to be masculine, he can only probably do
00:07:22.832 --> 00:07:24.066
Ourselves to be masculine, he can only probably do two or three.
00:07:24.133 --> 00:07:25.401
He can only probably do two or three. so i know men
00:07:25.468 --> 00:07:26.702
Two or three. so i know men because i was one of them,
00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:28.037
So i know men because i was one of them, who desired to be more
00:07:28.104 --> 00:07:29.305
Because i was one of them, who desired to be more than just a doer.

Who desired to be more than just a doer. i wanted to be the hands

Than just a doer. i wanted to be the hands and feet of christ.

I wanted to be the hands and feet of christ. by that, i had to become
00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:35.678
And feet of christ. by that, i had to become the other characteristics.
00:07:35.745 --> 00:07:40.049
By that, i had to become the other characteristics. james, my epiphany,
00:07:40.116 --> 00:07:41.884
The other characteristics. james, my epiphany, or the moment god used
00:07:41.951 --> 00:07:43.419
James, my epiphany, or the moment god used to shape me
00:07:43.486 --> 00:07:44.687
Or the moment god used to shape me was when my mother
00:07:44.754 --> 00:07:45.855
To shape me was when my mother developed dementia.
00:07:45.922 --> 00:07:48.791
Was when my mother developed dementia. i had to be more than
00:07:48.858 --> 00:07:50.259
Developed dementia. i had to be more than a protector and provider.
00:07:50.326 --> 00:07:51.627
I had to be more than a protector and provider. i had mastered those two.
00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:52.795
A protector and provider. i had mastered those two. those were easy.
00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:53.829
I had mastered those two. those were easy. bill collectors called,
00:07:53.896 --> 00:07:55.364
Those were easy. bill collectors called, the doctor wasn't
00:07:55.431 --> 00:07:56.766
Just wanted to prescribe
00:07:58.167 --> 00:07:59.268
Just wanted to prescribe psych meds
00:07:59.335 --> 00:08:00.403
Psych meds to get her out of the office.
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:01.604
To get her out of the office. i was there,
00:08:01.671 --> 00:08:02.772
I was there, the lion would rise up.
00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:03.906
The lion would rise up. but my mother, to get
00:08:03.973 --> 00:08:05.074
But my mother, to get the care and love she needed,
00:08:05.141 --> 00:08:06.342
She needed to see
00:08:07.710 --> 00:08:08.811
She needed to see the other attributes of christ
00:08:08.878 --> 00:08:10.046
She needed to see the other attributes of christ that are in all of us
00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:11.480
The other attributes of christ that are in all of us when we accept him
00:08:11.547 --> 00:08:12.715
That are in all of us when we accept him as our savior.
00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:13.950
When we accept him as our savior. so i would file her nails.
00:08:14.016 --> 00:08:15.217
As our savior. so i would file her nails. i would comb her hair.
00:08:15.284 --> 00:08:16.485
So i would file her nails. i would comb her hair. i would wash her face,
00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:17.887
I would comb her hair. i would wash her face, the things that were tender
00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:19.889
I would wash her face, the things that were tender that shaped me.
00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:21.557
The things that were tender that shaped me. i finally understood
00:08:21.624 --> 00:08:23.793
That shaped me. i finally understood what love and sacrifice was.
00:08:23.859 --> 00:08:26.429
I finally understood what love and sacrifice was. i thought sacrifice
00:08:26.495 --> 00:08:27.730
What love and sacrifice was. i thought sacrifice was doing something
00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:28.998
I thought sacrifice was doing something that needed to be done.
00:08:29.065 --> 00:08:30.333
Was doing something that needed to be done. that's not it.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.534
That needed to be done. that's not it. sacrifice is doing
00:08:31.601 --> 00:08:32.702
That's not it. sacrifice is doing what needs to be done
00:08:32.768 --> 00:08:33.970
Sacrifice is doing what needs to be done that you don't want to do.
00:08:34.036 --> 00:08:35.171
What needs to be done that you don't want to do. it's the same way
00:08:35.237 --> 00:08:36.505
That you don't want to do. it's the same way when christ struggled
00:08:36.572 --> 00:08:37.673
It's the same way when christ struggled in the garden of gethsemane.
00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:38.874
When christ struggled in the garden of gethsemane. he says, "oh, abba!
00:08:38.941 --> 00:08:40.042
In the garden of gethsemane. he says, "oh, abba! please take this cup!"
00:08:40.109 --> 00:08:41.277
He says, "oh, abba! please take this cup!" because he didn't want
00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:42.478
Please take this cup!" because he didn't want to do that.
00:08:42.545 --> 00:08:43.646
Because he didn't want to do that. but when it was silent,
00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:44.780
To do that. but when it was silent, he said,
00:08:44.847 --> 00:08:45.915
But when it was silent, he said, "let your will be done."
00:08:45.982 --> 00:08:47.216
He said, "let your will be done." that's what it means
00:08:47.283 --> 00:08:48.384
"let your will be done." that's what it means to be comprehensive;
00:08:48.451 --> 00:08:49.452
That's what it means to be comprehensive; to be anything and everything
00:08:49.518 --> 00:08:50.586
To be comprehensive; to be anything and everything you have to be
00:08:50.653 --> 00:08:51.687
To be anything and everything you have to be at any given moment.
00:08:51.754 --> 00:08:52.855
You have to be at any given moment. women understand this.
00:08:52.922 --> 00:08:54.090
At any given moment. women understand this. it is time for men
00:08:54.156 --> 00:08:55.291
Women understand this. it is time for men to take hold
00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:56.626
It is time for men to take hold of what christ truly gave us.
00:08:56.692 --> 00:08:59.328
To take hold of what christ truly gave us. james: one of the things
00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:00.730
Of what christ truly gave us. james: one of the things that got our attention
00:09:00.796 --> 00:09:02.031
James: one of the things that got our attention the first time you were here,
00:09:02.098 --> 00:09:03.232
That got our attention the first time you were here, you showed a little clip.
00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:04.500
The first time you were here, you showed a little clip. you had a little boy
00:09:04.567 --> 00:09:05.735
You showed a little clip. you had a little boy when you were doing feats
00:09:05.801 --> 00:09:07.770
You had a little boy when you were doing feats of strength and defense
00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:09.905
When you were doing feats of strength and defense and all that.
00:09:09.972 --> 00:09:11.140
Of strength and defense and all that. but the little boy
00:09:11.207 --> 00:09:12.408
And all that. but the little boy wasn't able to fulfill
00:09:12.475 --> 00:09:13.776
But the little boy wasn't able to fulfill the martial arts
00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:15.211
Wasn't able to fulfill the martial arts and the feats of strength.
00:09:15.277 --> 00:09:17.413
The martial arts and the feats of strength. it tore him up.
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.249
And the feats of strength. it tore him up. that was a moment, wasn't it?
00:09:20.316 --> 00:09:21.751
It tore him up. that was a moment, wasn't it? jason: that was a moment
00:09:21.817 --> 00:09:23.519
That was a moment, wasn't it? jason: that was a moment that changed everything.
00:09:23.586 --> 00:09:24.987
Jason: that was a moment that changed everything. not only for that little boy
00:09:25.054 --> 00:09:26.989
That changed everything. not only for that little boy in the video but our ministry,
00:09:27.056 --> 00:09:28.424
Not only for that little boy in the video but our ministry, the cave of adullam.
00:09:28.491 --> 00:09:29.692
In the video but our ministry, the cave of adullam. because until then,
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.527
The cave of adullam. because until then, that moment,
00:09:31.594 --> 00:09:33.029
Because until then, that moment, coaching was one way.
00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:34.697
That moment, coaching was one way. it was we drive
00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:35.931
Coaching was one way. it was we drive and we're pushing.
00:09:35.998 --> 00:09:36.966
It was we drive and we're pushing. no emotions.
00:09:37.033 --> 00:09:38.134
And we're pushing. no emotions. don't cry. you're weak.
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.301
No emotions. don't cry. you're weak. big boys don't cry,
00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:40.503
Don't cry. you're weak. big boys don't cry, push through.
00:09:40.569 --> 00:09:41.671
Big boys don't cry, push through. but in that moment
00:09:41.737 --> 00:09:42.838
Push through. but in that moment i'm thankful that i was able
00:09:42.905 --> 00:09:44.140
But in that moment i'm thankful that i was able to be the man that
00:09:44.206 --> 00:09:45.374
I'm thankful that i was able to be the man that that boy needed
00:09:45.441 --> 00:09:46.542
To be the man that that boy needed in that moment
00:09:46.609 --> 00:09:47.710
That boy needed in that moment and welcomed the tears.
00:09:47.777 --> 00:09:48.878
In that moment and welcomed the tears. james: let's look at that.
00:09:48.944 --> 00:09:51.280

00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:13.422
[applause]
00:12:15.524 --> 00:12:17.693
James: how then did that
00:12:28.571 --> 00:12:30.372
James: how then did that affect you because
00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:31.640
Jason: it brought back
00:12:32.942 --> 00:12:34.043
Jason: it brought back a lot of memories.
00:12:34.109 --> 00:12:35.511
A lot of memories. i started thinking
00:12:35.578 --> 00:12:36.712
I started thinking on the men who are not crying
00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:40.216
Or the way god intended.
00:12:42.051 --> 00:12:45.354
Or the way god intended. crying through divorce,
00:12:45.421 --> 00:12:47.089
Or the way god intended. crying through divorce, crying through allowing
00:12:47.156 --> 00:12:49.091
Crying through divorce, crying through allowing their trauma to time travel
00:12:49.158 --> 00:12:50.626
Crying through allowing their trauma to time travel and ruin
00:12:50.693 --> 00:12:52.194
Their trauma to time travel and ruin their present blessings.
00:12:52.261 --> 00:12:53.963
And ruin their present blessings. crying through
00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:55.231
Their present blessings. crying through porn addiction.
00:12:55.297 --> 00:12:56.799
Crying through porn addiction. there is a way out
00:12:56.866 --> 00:12:58.901
Porn addiction. there is a way out of that life.
00:12:58.968 --> 00:13:00.202
There is a way out of that life. i often tell men,
00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:01.503
Of that life. i often tell men, "you're not tired of living,
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:02.605
I often tell men, "you're not tired of living, you're tired of not living."
00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:04.807
"you're not tired of living, you're tired of not living." it is going to take a fight,
00:13:04.874 --> 00:13:06.141
You're tired of not living." it is going to take a fight, just like bruce
00:13:06.208 --> 00:13:07.309
It is going to take a fight, just like bruce having to break through
00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:08.410
Just like bruce having to break through that emotional barrier,
00:13:08.477 --> 00:13:09.612
Having to break through that emotional barrier, which many didn't know that
00:13:09.678 --> 00:13:10.913
That emotional barrier, which many didn't know that he had broken that board
00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:12.114
Which many didn't know that he had broken that board several times before.
00:13:12.181 --> 00:13:13.515
He had broken that board several times before. that's why i said
00:13:13.582 --> 00:13:14.717
Several times before. that's why i said let's get to that.
00:13:14.783 --> 00:13:16.018
That's why i said let's get to that. that is what men fear.
00:13:16.085 --> 00:13:18.754
Let's get to that. that is what men fear. going introspectively
00:13:18.821 --> 00:13:20.956
That is what men fear. going introspectively and dealing with
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:22.291
Going introspectively and dealing with the childhood trauma;
00:13:22.358 --> 00:13:23.726
And dealing with the childhood trauma; like you and i
00:13:23.792 --> 00:13:24.894
The childhood trauma; like you and i not having a father around.
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.161
Like you and i not having a father around. how did that shape us?
00:13:26.228 --> 00:13:27.496
Not having a father around. how did that shape us? and more importantly,
00:13:27.563 --> 00:13:28.764
How did that shape us? and more importantly, how god used us
00:13:28.831 --> 00:13:30.165
And more importantly, how god used us to be the father
00:13:30.232 --> 00:13:31.400
How god used us to be the father to many fatherless.
00:13:31.467 --> 00:13:32.801
To be the father to many fatherless. as men, we tend
00:13:32.868 --> 00:13:34.136
To many fatherless. as men, we tend to live for what we lacked
00:13:34.203 --> 00:13:36.872
As men, we tend to live for what we lacked instead of what we longed for.
00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:38.841
To live for what we lacked instead of what we longed for. as a result of that,
00:13:38.908 --> 00:13:40.042
Instead of what we longed for. as a result of that, it is hard for us
00:13:40.109 --> 00:13:41.176
As a result of that, it is hard for us to meet the moment.
00:13:41.243 --> 00:13:42.378
It is hard for us to meet the moment. a lot of times, we're living
00:13:42.444 --> 00:13:43.679
To meet the moment. a lot of times, we're living from the broken boy
00:13:43.746 --> 00:13:44.880
Who didn't get the affirmation
00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:46.115
Who didn't get the affirmation and the love.
00:13:46.181 --> 00:13:47.416
From the world, you give it
00:13:48.751 --> 00:13:50.052
From the world, you give it the best of your job,
00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:51.320
The best of your job, youth ministry, church,
00:13:51.387 --> 00:13:52.621
Then when you come home,
00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:55.090
Then when you come home, your children are starving
00:13:55.157 --> 00:13:56.325
Then when you come home, your children are starving for this affection
00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:57.693
Your children are starving for this affection and you have nothing left
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.028
For this affection and you have nothing left because we tend to live
00:13:59.094 --> 00:14:00.429
And you have nothing left because we tend to live again from that affirmation
00:14:00.496 --> 00:14:02.698
Because we tend to live again from that affirmation that is outside
00:14:02.765 --> 00:14:04.033
Again from that affirmation that is outside of the four walls
00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.234
That is outside of the four walls where it matters the most.
00:14:05.301 --> 00:14:06.468
Of the four walls where it matters the most. i've personally failed
00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:07.770
Where it matters the most. i've personally failed in that area.
00:14:07.836 --> 00:14:09.104
I've personally failed in that area. when i learned that,
00:14:09.171 --> 00:14:12.007
In that area. when i learned that, i stopped giving the world
00:14:12.074 --> 00:14:13.776
When i learned that, i stopped giving the world the grace
00:14:13.842 --> 00:14:15.110
I stopped giving the world the grace that my family deserves.
00:14:15.177 --> 00:14:16.211
The grace that my family deserves. so what i mean by that,
00:14:16.278 --> 00:14:17.379
That my family deserves. so what i mean by that, is a lot of times as men,
00:14:17.446 --> 00:14:18.580
So what i mean by that, is a lot of times as men, we're mistreated in the world.
00:14:18.647 --> 00:14:20.616
Is a lot of times as men, we're mistreated in the world. we give them great patience,
00:14:20.683 --> 00:14:21.984
We're mistreated in the world. we give them great patience, great understanding,
00:14:22.051 --> 00:14:23.285
We give them great patience, great understanding, great calmness,
00:14:23.352 --> 00:14:24.987
Great understanding, great calmness, but as soon as our wife
00:14:25.054 --> 00:14:26.221
Great calmness, but as soon as our wife may have something
00:14:26.288 --> 00:14:27.690
But as soon as our wife may have something that's troubling her
00:14:27.756 --> 00:14:28.857
May have something that's troubling her or our kids
00:14:28.924 --> 00:14:30.059
That's troubling her or our kids may be struggling in school,
00:14:30.125 --> 00:14:31.193
Or our kids may be struggling in school, we lose it at home.
00:14:31.260 --> 00:14:32.461
May be struggling in school, we lose it at home. that's not how
00:14:32.528 --> 00:14:33.829
We lose it at home. that's not how it is supposed to be.
00:14:33.896 --> 00:14:35.030
That's not how it is supposed to be. a lot of us struggle
00:14:35.097 --> 00:14:36.398
It is supposed to be. a lot of us struggle with passive aggressiveness
00:14:36.465 --> 00:14:37.566
A lot of us struggle with passive aggressiveness because again,
00:14:37.633 --> 00:14:38.834
With passive aggressiveness because again, of living behind the facade.
00:14:38.901 --> 00:14:40.002
Because again, of living behind the facade. but there was no freedom
00:14:40.069 --> 00:14:41.337
Of living behind the facade. but there was no freedom in the facade, gentlemen.
00:14:41.403 --> 00:14:42.571
But there was no freedom in the facade, gentlemen. there is no freedom
00:14:42.638 --> 00:14:43.906
In the facade, gentlemen. there is no freedom in the superman cape
00:14:43.973 --> 00:14:45.140
There is no freedom in the superman cape that's strangling us out.
00:14:45.207 --> 00:14:47.343
In the superman cape that's strangling us out. the freedom is in christ.
00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:48.777
That's strangling us out. the freedom is in christ. freedom is becoming
00:14:48.844 --> 00:14:50.612
The freedom is in christ. freedom is becoming all that he needs us to be
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.247
Freedom is becoming all that he needs us to be so that we can meet
00:14:52.314 --> 00:14:53.649
James: if you read this book,
00:14:55.517 --> 00:14:58.854
James: if you read this book, as a man who has no needs
00:14:58.921 --> 00:15:02.925
To see met appropriately,
00:15:05.828 --> 00:15:08.564
To see met appropriately, how do you believe
00:15:08.630 --> 00:15:09.832
To see met appropriately, how do you believe it will start that journey?
00:15:09.898 --> 00:15:11.200
How do you believe it will start that journey? jason: the first chapter
00:15:11.266 --> 00:15:12.468
It will start that journey? jason: the first chapter is the initiation.
00:15:12.534 --> 00:15:13.736
Jason: the first chapter is the initiation. it is let's look
00:15:13.802 --> 00:15:15.070
Is the initiation. it is let's look at who you really are.
00:15:15.137 --> 00:15:16.271
It is let's look at who you really are. do you know who you are?
00:15:16.338 --> 00:15:17.539
At who you really are. do you know who you are? do you know whose you are?
00:15:17.606 --> 00:15:18.941
Do you know who you are? do you know whose you are? what are you fearing?
00:15:19.008 --> 00:15:20.242
Do you know whose you are? what are you fearing? what are you hiding from?
00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:21.744
What are you fearing? what are you hiding from? what is this mask
00:15:21.810 --> 00:15:23.212
What are you hiding from? what is this mask of masculinity
00:15:23.278 --> 00:15:24.546
What is this mask of masculinity only keeping you and
00:15:24.613 --> 00:15:26.448
Of masculinity only keeping you and smothering you from in life?
00:15:26.515 --> 00:15:29.485
Only keeping you and smothering you from in life? so once we unpack that,
00:15:29.551 --> 00:15:31.387
Smothering you from in life? so once we unpack that, then we travel down
00:15:31.453 --> 00:15:32.821
So once we unpack that, then we travel down to the next chapter
00:15:32.888 --> 00:15:34.089
Then we travel down to the next chapter which is how do we meet
00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:35.691
To the next chapter which is how do we meet the demands of the moment?
00:15:35.758 --> 00:15:37.159
Which is how do we meet the demands of the moment? how do we become that?
00:15:37.226 --> 00:15:38.894
The demands of the moment? how do we become that? we have to first allow
00:15:38.961 --> 00:15:40.229
How do we become that? we have to first allow the holy spirit to take us on
00:15:40.295 --> 00:15:42.197
We have to first allow the holy spirit to take us on an introspective journey
00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:43.665
The holy spirit to take us on an introspective journey through our past
00:15:43.732 --> 00:15:45.000
An introspective journey through our past so that we can stop blowing
00:15:45.067 --> 00:15:46.235
Through our past so that we can stop blowing the moments in the present.
00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:48.137
So that we can stop blowing the moments in the present. then from there,
00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:49.304
The moments in the present. then from there, i take them through
00:15:49.371 --> 00:15:50.606
Then from there, i take them through each characteristic,
00:15:50.672 --> 00:15:51.874
I take them through each characteristic, patiently, slowly,
00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:53.175
Each characteristic, patiently, slowly, using myself as an example.
00:15:53.242 --> 00:15:54.576
Mental and spiritual training
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:58.514
Mental and spiritual training so that men can be able
00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:00.115
So that men can be able to process their emotions
00:16:00.182 --> 00:16:01.650
To process their emotions in real-time,
00:16:01.717 --> 00:16:03.052
In real-time, and become verbal processors
00:16:03.118 --> 00:16:04.686
At my wife and say,
00:16:06.855 --> 00:16:08.123
At my wife and say, why don't you submit
00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:09.491
At my wife and say, why don't you submit to my leadership?
00:16:09.558 --> 00:16:10.659
Why don't you submit to my leadership? instead, i can say, hey, babe,
00:16:10.726 --> 00:16:12.361
To my leadership? instead, i can say, hey, babe, i just want to let you know
00:16:12.428 --> 00:16:13.595
Instead, i can say, hey, babe, i just want to let you know it hurts me
00:16:13.662 --> 00:16:14.997
I just want to let you know it hurts me when you don't trust me
00:16:15.064 --> 00:16:16.131
It hurts me when you don't trust me in our home.
00:16:16.198 --> 00:16:17.399
When you don't trust me in our home. it brings up
00:16:17.466 --> 00:16:18.667
In our home. it brings up so many other emotions
00:16:18.734 --> 00:16:20.002
It brings up so many other emotions of when my father
00:16:20.069 --> 00:16:21.170
So many other emotions of when my father never trusted me
00:16:21.236 --> 00:16:22.304
Of when my father never trusted me or when my mother
00:16:22.371 --> 00:16:23.605
Never trusted me or when my mother abandoned me many times
00:16:23.672 --> 00:16:24.840
Or when my mother abandoned me many times when i needed her love.
00:16:24.907 --> 00:16:26.041
Abandoned me many times when i needed her love. i just want to let you know
00:16:26.108 --> 00:16:27.309
When i needed her love. i just want to let you know how that made me feel.
00:16:27.376 --> 00:16:28.544
I just want to let you know how that made me feel. as soon as we do that,
00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:29.812
How that made me feel. as soon as we do that, our wives go
00:16:29.878 --> 00:16:31.013
As soon as we do that, our wives go from here to here.
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.348
Our wives go from here to here. and now, we're connecting
00:16:33.415 --> 00:16:34.783
From here to here. and now, we're connecting at the heart level.
00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:36.185
And now, we're connecting at the heart level. this is the skill
00:16:36.251 --> 00:16:37.519
At the heart level. this is the skill that i offer men
00:16:37.586 --> 00:16:39.021
This is the skill that i offer men that i've learned through
00:16:39.088 --> 00:16:40.422
That i offer men that i've learned through caring for my mother.
00:16:40.489 --> 00:16:41.723
That i've learned through caring for my mother. it has truly not only
00:16:41.790 --> 00:16:43.225
Caring for my mother. it has truly not only made me a better husband
00:16:43.292 --> 00:16:44.460
It has truly not only made me a better husband and father
00:16:44.526 --> 00:16:45.527
Made me a better husband and father but a better servant.
00:16:45.594 --> 00:16:46.829
And father but a better servant. now when christ says go,
00:16:46.895 --> 00:16:49.765
But a better servant. now when christ says go, i can do whatever
00:16:49.832 --> 00:16:50.966
Now when christ says go, i can do whatever he needs me to do.
00:16:51.033 --> 00:16:52.034
I can do whatever he needs me to do. if he needs me to cry
00:16:52.101 --> 00:16:53.335
He needs me to do. if he needs me to cry over a daughter
00:16:53.402 --> 00:16:54.670
If he needs me to cry over a daughter who is struggling
00:16:54.736 --> 00:16:55.871
Over a daughter who is struggling with feeling wanted
00:16:55.938 --> 00:16:57.206
Who is struggling with feeling wanted and desired,
00:16:57.272 --> 00:16:58.407
With feeling wanted and desired, for me to shed the truth
00:16:58.474 --> 00:16:59.641
And desired, for me to shed the truth on a lie that you think
00:16:59.708 --> 00:17:01.777
For me to shed the truth on a lie that you think that he's not happy with you
00:17:01.844 --> 00:17:04.079
On a lie that you think that he's not happy with you but he is protecting you,
00:17:04.146 --> 00:17:05.681
That he's not happy with you but he is protecting you, and anything
00:17:05.747 --> 00:17:06.782
But he is protecting you, and anything that he's protecting
00:17:06.849 --> 00:17:07.950
And anything that he's protecting is of great value.
00:17:08.016 --> 00:17:09.184
That he's protecting is of great value. so every man i know
00:17:09.251 --> 00:17:12.254
Is of great value. so every man i know desires to be the man
00:17:12.321 --> 00:17:13.655
So every man i know desires to be the man of the moment -- the man.
00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:15.023
Desires to be the man of the moment -- the man. they desire
00:17:15.090 --> 00:17:16.225
Of the moment -- the man. they desire to not have regrets,
00:17:16.291 --> 00:17:17.759
They desire to not have regrets, and not miss those moments.
00:17:17.826 --> 00:17:19.761
To not have regrets, and not miss those moments. this is an opportunity
00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:21.163
And not miss those moments. this is an opportunity for them to engage
00:17:21.230 --> 00:17:22.297
This is an opportunity for them to engage and truly be the head
00:17:22.364 --> 00:17:23.499
For them to engage and truly be the head and feet of christ.
00:17:23.565 --> 00:17:24.633
And truly be the head and feet of christ. james: i hope that you
00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.834
And feet of christ. james: i hope that you not only are hearing
00:17:25.901 --> 00:17:27.002
James: i hope that you not only are hearing but you will get it
00:17:27.069 --> 00:17:28.070
Not only are hearing but you will get it and read it.
00:17:28.137 --> 00:17:29.238
But you will get it and read it. you can go online and get it.
00:17:29.304 --> 00:17:30.439
And read it. you can go online and get it. if they wanted to go

You can go online and get it. if they wanted to go to your ministry and get it,
00:17:31.673 --> 00:17:32.741
If they wanted to go to your ministry and get it, where would they go?
00:17:32.808 --> 00:17:33.809
Jason: they can go

Spiritually to you, your family, those you love,
00:18:06.008 --> 00:18:07.743
Then we reach beyond ourselves
00:18:09.444 --> 00:18:13.749
Then we reach beyond ourselves and beyond the life
00:18:13.815 --> 00:18:15.117
Then we reach beyond ourselves and beyond the life that we have received
00:18:15.184 --> 00:18:16.818
And beyond the life that we have received to release it
00:18:16.885 --> 00:18:18.787
That we have received to release it through a channel, a vessel
00:18:18.854 --> 00:18:20.956
To release it through a channel, a vessel that was shaped by god
00:18:21.023 --> 00:18:23.091
Through a channel, a vessel that was shaped by god through whom, through which
00:18:23.158 --> 00:18:26.061
That was shaped by god through whom, through which he wants to flow his life,
00:18:26.128 --> 00:18:28.263
Through whom, through which he wants to flow his life, his love, his light.
00:18:28.330 --> 00:18:31.733
He wants to flow his life, his love, his light. you are that vessel.
00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:33.802
His love, his light. you are that vessel. we're asking you to help
00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:35.304
You are that vessel. we're asking you to help do that right now
00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:36.638
We're asking you to help do that right now in what our viewers tell us,
00:18:36.705 --> 00:18:38.373
Do that right now in what our viewers tell us, and they love
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.075
In what our viewers tell us, and they love everything we do,
00:18:40.142 --> 00:18:41.410
And they love everything we do, for the least of these
00:18:41.476 --> 00:18:42.811
Everything we do, for the least of these and the overlooked,
00:18:42.878 --> 00:18:44.179
For the least of these and the overlooked, the downtrodden,
00:18:44.246 --> 00:18:45.447
And the overlooked, the downtrodden, the forgotten,
00:18:45.514 --> 00:18:46.882
The downtrodden, the forgotten, the desperate, the dying,
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:48.150
They love it!
00:18:50.052 --> 00:18:52.154
They love it! but they say there is nothing
00:18:52.221 --> 00:18:53.589
But they say there is nothing that thrills us any more
00:18:53.655 --> 00:18:54.957
That thrills us any more than giving people
00:18:55.023 --> 00:18:56.391
Than giving people water for life.
00:18:56.458 --> 00:18:57.859
Water for life. he's the water of life.
00:18:57.926 --> 00:18:59.127
He's the water of life. but you've got
00:18:59.194 --> 00:19:00.362
But you've got to have water for life.
00:19:00.429 --> 00:19:01.496
To have water for life. in so many parts of the world,
00:19:01.563 --> 00:19:02.931
In so many parts of the world, they have only disease-ridden,
00:19:02.998 --> 00:19:06.535
They have only disease-ridden, deadly water
00:19:06.602 --> 00:19:08.136
Deadly water but we give them life.
00:19:08.203 --> 00:19:10.239
But we give them life. we're right now,
00:19:10.305 --> 00:19:11.673
We're right now, with your help,
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.874
With your help, going to drill
00:19:12.941 --> 00:19:14.176
Going to drill another 350 wells.
00:19:14.243 --> 00:19:15.577
Another 350 wells. over 8,000,
00:19:15.644 --> 00:19:16.812
Over 8,000, way over 8,000 now drilled.
00:19:16.878 --> 00:19:18.180
Way over 8,000 now drilled. it changes everything
00:19:18.247 --> 00:19:20.515
It changes everything in a village.
00:19:20.582 --> 00:19:21.850
In a village. you know, so many times,
00:19:21.917 --> 00:19:23.185
You know, so many times, mothers and the ones
00:19:23.252 --> 00:19:25.354
Mothers and the ones old enough to carry water,
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:26.888
Old enough to carry water, they'll walk five kilometers,
00:19:26.955 --> 00:19:28.557
They'll walk five kilometers, 10 kilometers to get water
00:19:28.624 --> 00:19:31.226
10 kilometers to get water sometimes daily,
00:19:31.293 --> 00:19:32.728
Sometimes daily, but many times a week.
00:19:32.794 --> 00:19:34.630
But many times a week. but what they're bringing back
00:19:34.696 --> 00:19:36.265
But what they're bringing back is water they have to have
00:19:36.331 --> 00:19:37.532
Is water they have to have just to live another day.
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.434
Just to live another day. but they're also bringing back
00:19:39.501 --> 00:19:41.069
But they're also bringing back germs and disease.
00:19:41.136 --> 00:19:43.472
Germs and disease. they watch their loved ones
00:19:43.538 --> 00:19:45.173
They watch their loved ones and their children, too often,
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:46.842
And their children, too often, die from a very horrible,
00:19:46.908 --> 00:19:50.646
Die from a very horrible, terribly painful disease,
00:19:50.712 --> 00:19:53.215
Terribly painful disease, and it breaks their hearts.
00:19:53.282 --> 00:19:55.183
And it breaks their hearts. so many have lost
00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:56.718
So many have lost at least one child,
00:19:56.785 --> 00:19:58.120
At least one child, many have lost
00:19:58.186 --> 00:19:59.588
Many have lost as many as three or four.
00:19:59.655 --> 00:20:01.623
As many as three or four. but when you give them a well,
00:20:01.690 --> 00:20:03.725
But when you give them a well, you just give them new life.
00:20:03.792 --> 00:20:05.694
We want to ask you,
00:20:06.194 --> 00:20:07.429
Could you help us
00:20:07.496 --> 00:20:08.597
Drill a well?
00:20:08.664 --> 00:20:09.765
Could you possibly
00:20:09.831 --> 00:20:10.932
Drill a well?
00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:12.334
It is $4800.
00:20:12.401 --> 00:20:13.568
Could you do that?
00:20:13.635 --> 00:20:14.736
Many people
00:20:14.803 --> 00:20:16.038
Say they live every year
00:20:16.104 --> 00:20:17.372
To have that joy.
00:20:17.439 --> 00:20:18.573
They make that a goal.
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.975
But then many people say,
00:20:20.042 --> 00:20:21.243
"james, i can't do that
00:20:21.310 --> 00:20:22.611
But i'll give $1200
00:20:22.678 --> 00:20:24.012
And pray three join me."
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.380
And so often they do.
00:20:25.447 --> 00:20:26.882
Or "i give $2400
00:20:26.948 --> 00:20:28.383
And pray another joins me."
00:20:28.450 --> 00:20:30.385
But do you know where most
00:20:30.452 --> 00:20:31.687
Of the support comes from?
00:20:31.753 --> 00:20:33.655
$48 will give ten people water
00:20:33.722 --> 00:20:37.793
The rest of their lives.
00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:39.494
Please do it now.
00:20:39.561 --> 00:20:41.430
Thank you so much

00:20:45.367 --> 00:20:46.835
Thank you!
00:20:46.902 --> 00:20:48.804

00:20:49.971 --> 00:20:52.307

Susie: hi, i'm susie larson

Susie: hi, i'm susie larson and i want to bring you
00:23:08.510 --> 00:23:09.611
Susie: hi, i'm susie larson and i want to bring you a word of encouragement
00:23:09.678 --> 00:23:10.745
And i want to bring you a word of encouragement from god.
00:23:10.812 --> 00:23:11.746
A word of encouragement from god. you have no doubt
00:23:11.813 --> 00:23:12.948
From god. you have no doubt heard the passage
00:23:13.014 --> 00:23:14.149
You have no doubt heard the passage from psalm 46:10,
00:23:14.216 --> 00:23:15.250
Heard the passage from psalm 46:10, "be still and know
00:23:15.317 --> 00:23:16.451
That i am god.
00:23:16.551 --> 00:23:17.452
That i am god. i will be exalted
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:18.620
That i am god. i will be exalted among the nations.
00:23:18.687 --> 00:23:19.788
I will be exalted among the nations. i will be exalted
00:23:19.855 --> 00:23:20.889
Among the nations. i will be exalted on the earth."
00:23:20.956 --> 00:23:21.990
I will be exalted on the earth." and so often
00:23:22.057 --> 00:23:23.058
On the earth." and so often we hear that passage
00:23:23.124 --> 00:23:24.125
And so often we hear that passage in a beautiful
00:23:24.192 --> 00:23:25.160
We hear that passage in a beautiful kind of serene song,
00:23:25.227 --> 00:23:26.194
In a beautiful kind of serene song, or you picture that passage
00:23:26.261 --> 00:23:27.329
Kind of serene song, or you picture that passage as you're floating
00:23:27.395 --> 00:23:28.330
Or you picture that passage as you're floating down a river or you see it
00:23:28.396 --> 00:23:29.364
As you're floating down a river or you see it with great works of art
00:23:29.431 --> 00:23:30.365
Down a river or you see it with great works of art that kind of put
00:23:30.432 --> 00:23:31.500
With great works of art that kind of put your heart at peace,
00:23:31.566 --> 00:23:32.634
That kind of put your heart at peace, and i really do love that.
00:23:32.701 --> 00:23:33.768
Your heart at peace, and i really do love that. but if you go look
00:23:33.835 --> 00:23:34.903
And i really do love that. but if you go look at the chapter in context,
00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:36.037
But if you go look at the chapter in context, it actually is showing
00:23:36.104 --> 00:23:37.205
At the chapter in context, it actually is showing that the nations rage;
00:23:37.272 --> 00:23:38.640
It actually is showing that the nations rage; that there is war,
00:23:38.707 --> 00:23:39.908
That the nations rage; that there is war, there is chaos.
00:23:39.975 --> 00:23:41.109
That there is war, there is chaos. and as the word
00:23:41.176 --> 00:23:42.377
There is chaos. and as the word is establishing the times
00:23:42.444 --> 00:23:44.479
And as the word is establishing the times that we're in,
00:23:44.546 --> 00:23:45.514
Is establishing the times that we're in, then the lord's voice thunders
00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:46.982
That we're in, then the lord's voice thunders over the storm,
00:23:47.048 --> 00:23:48.149
Then the lord's voice thunders over the storm, over the chaos,
00:23:48.216 --> 00:23:49.317
Over the storm, over the chaos, over all of the things that
00:23:49.384 --> 00:23:50.485
Over the chaos, over all of the things that cause an unsettledness in us,
00:23:50.552 --> 00:23:52.053
Over all of the things that cause an unsettledness in us, and then you hear his voice
00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:53.321
Cause an unsettledness in us, and then you hear his voice saying, "be still.
00:23:53.388 --> 00:23:54.456
And then you hear his voice saying, "be still. yes, this is all going on,
00:23:54.523 --> 00:23:55.924
Saying, "be still. yes, this is all going on, but hear me now, be still
00:23:55.991 --> 00:23:57.459
Yes, this is all going on, but hear me now, be still and know that i am god.
00:23:57.526 --> 00:23:59.427
But hear me now, be still and know that i am god. i will be the one
00:23:59.494 --> 00:24:00.495
And know that i am god. i will be the one that will have the last say.
00:24:00.562 --> 00:24:01.663
I will be the one that will have the last say. i will be the one exalted."
00:24:01.730 --> 00:24:02.898
That will have the last say. i will be the one exalted." well, be still,
00:24:02.964 --> 00:24:04.065
I will be the one exalted." well, be still, another translation is
00:24:04.132 --> 00:24:05.233
Well, be still, another translation is "cease striving."
00:24:05.300 --> 00:24:06.401
Another translation is "cease striving." it means several things.
00:24:06.468 --> 00:24:07.569
"cease striving." it means several things. it means to let go,
00:24:07.636 --> 00:24:09.337
It means several things. it means to let go, sink down, relax,
00:24:09.404 --> 00:24:12.007
It means to let go, sink down, relax, and in some cases, be quiet.
00:24:12.073 --> 00:24:14.242
Sink down, relax, and in some cases, be quiet. now, i want you to think
00:24:14.309 --> 00:24:15.343
And in some cases, be quiet. now, i want you to think about this for a moment
00:24:15.410 --> 00:24:16.444
Now, i want you to think about this for a moment because we all tend
00:24:16.511 --> 00:24:17.512
About this for a moment because we all tend to have areas where faith
00:24:17.579 --> 00:24:18.613
Because we all tend to have areas where faith comes a little easier for us
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.714
To have areas where faith comes a little easier for us in this area,
00:24:19.781 --> 00:24:20.715
Comes a little easier for us in this area, but not so much in this area.
00:24:20.782 --> 00:24:21.950
In this area, but not so much in this area. so maybe, you've got faith
00:24:22.017 --> 00:24:23.685
But not so much in this area. so maybe, you've got faith around finances,
00:24:23.752 --> 00:24:24.886
So maybe, you've got faith around finances, you've become a generous giver
00:24:24.953 --> 00:24:25.954
Around finances, you've become a generous giver and you've just seen
00:24:26.021 --> 00:24:27.122
You've become a generous giver and you've just seen the faithfulness of god
00:24:27.188 --> 00:24:28.156
And you've just seen the faithfulness of god so it's almost a non-issue.
00:24:28.223 --> 00:24:29.224
The faithfulness of god so it's almost a non-issue. you just know
00:24:29.291 --> 00:24:30.325
So it's almost a non-issue. you just know your help comes from the lord.
00:24:30.392 --> 00:24:31.359
You just know your help comes from the lord. but then you see
00:24:31.426 --> 00:24:32.527
Your help comes from the lord. but then you see your kids making choices
00:24:32.594 --> 00:24:33.662
But then you see your kids making choices and that stirs up stress.
00:24:33.728 --> 00:24:34.663
Your kids making choices and that stirs up stress. well, whatever your area
00:24:34.729 --> 00:24:35.730
And that stirs up stress. well, whatever your area of stress is,
00:24:35.797 --> 00:24:36.865
Well, whatever your area of stress is, that's where we get
00:24:36.932 --> 00:24:37.966
Of stress is, that's where we get into striving.
00:24:38.033 --> 00:24:39.134
That's where we get into striving. that's when we try
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:40.235
Into striving. that's when we try to preempt outcomes,
00:24:40.302 --> 00:24:41.269
That's when we try to preempt outcomes, we try to control situations.
00:24:41.336 --> 00:24:42.504
To preempt outcomes, we try to control situations. and if that is where
00:24:42.571 --> 00:24:43.705
We try to control situations. and if that is where the storm starts to rage,
00:24:43.772 --> 00:24:44.839
And if that is where the storm starts to rage, because the more
00:24:44.906 --> 00:24:45.874
The storm starts to rage, because the more we insert ourselves
00:24:45.941 --> 00:24:46.942
Because the more we insert ourselves into the story
00:24:47.008 --> 00:24:47.976
We insert ourselves into the story where god wants
00:24:48.043 --> 00:24:49.077
Into the story where god wants to have his hand,
00:24:49.144 --> 00:24:50.111
Where god wants to have his hand, that's when you start
00:24:50.178 --> 00:24:51.179
To have his hand, that's when you start to see things shake.
00:24:51.246 --> 00:24:52.280
That's when you start to see things shake. and in those places,
00:24:52.347 --> 00:24:53.381
To see things shake. and in those places, he's saying, "let go!"
00:24:53.448 --> 00:24:54.482
And in those places, he's saying, "let go!" if you're hyper-responsible,
00:24:54.549 --> 00:24:55.584
He's saying, "let go!" if you're hyper-responsible, like me,
00:24:55.650 --> 00:24:56.685
If you're hyper-responsible, like me, it feels irresponsible
00:24:56.751 --> 00:24:57.786
Like me, it feels irresponsible to let go.
00:24:57.852 --> 00:24:58.887
It feels irresponsible to let go. but the thing is,
00:24:58.954 --> 00:24:59.921
Do i really believe
00:25:01.056 --> 00:25:02.057
Do i really believe god is in control?
00:25:02.123 --> 00:25:03.158
God is in control? do i believe
00:25:03.224 --> 00:25:04.225
Do i believe that he's the keeper
00:25:04.292 --> 00:25:05.260
That he's the keeper of his word?
00:25:05.327 --> 00:25:06.294
Of his word? is this irresponsibility
00:25:06.361 --> 00:25:07.329
Is this irresponsibility for me to let go,
00:25:07.395 --> 00:25:08.363
For me to let go, or is this faith?
00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:09.431
I'm being responsible
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.533
I'm being responsible with my story by putting it
00:25:11.600 --> 00:25:12.534
I'm being responsible with my story by putting it in more capable hands.
00:25:12.601 --> 00:25:13.568
With my story by putting it in more capable hands. let go.
00:25:13.635 --> 00:25:14.669
In more capable hands. let go. now sink down
00:25:14.736 --> 00:25:15.770
Let go. now sink down means to sink down
00:25:15.837 --> 00:25:17.005
Now sink down means to sink down into the father's love.
00:25:17.072 --> 00:25:18.139
Means to sink down into the father's love. ephesians talks about
00:25:18.206 --> 00:25:19.207
Into the father's love. ephesians talks about to know of this love
00:25:19.274 --> 00:25:20.342
Ephesians talks about to know of this love is to be filled
00:25:20.408 --> 00:25:21.476
To know of this love is to be filled with the father's love
00:25:21.543 --> 00:25:22.544
Is to be filled with the father's love and to be filled
00:25:22.611 --> 00:25:23.645
With the father's love and to be filled with the fullness of god.
00:25:23.712 --> 00:25:24.713
And to be filled with the fullness of god. the thing is,
00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.847
With the fullness of god. the thing is, when we get into striving,
00:25:25.914 --> 00:25:26.915
The thing is, when we get into striving, we've lost sight
00:25:26.982 --> 00:25:27.949
When we get into striving, we've lost sight of the father's love.
00:25:28.016 --> 00:25:29.050
We've lost sight of the father's love. so to let go,
00:25:29.117 --> 00:25:30.118
Of the father's love. so to let go, send your roots down deep.
00:25:30.185 --> 00:25:31.219
So to let go, send your roots down deep. because in those areas
00:25:31.286 --> 00:25:32.287
Send your roots down deep. because in those areas of striving,
00:25:32.354 --> 00:25:33.388
Because in those areas of striving, you've stopped trusting
00:25:33.455 --> 00:25:34.522
Of striving, you've stopped trusting that god is who he says he is.
00:25:34.589 --> 00:25:35.657
You've stopped trusting that god is who he says he is. so get to know him
00:25:35.724 --> 00:25:36.691
That god is who he says he is. so get to know him on a deeper level.
00:25:36.758 --> 00:25:37.792
So get to know him on a deeper level. let go, sink down, relax!
00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:38.893
On a deeper level. let go, sink down, relax! you know, do something good
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.028
Let go, sink down, relax! you know, do something good for your soul.
00:25:40.095 --> 00:25:41.162
You know, do something good for your soul. go out for a bike ride.
00:25:41.229 --> 00:25:42.197
For your soul. go out for a bike ride. do something
00:25:42.263 --> 00:25:43.264
Go out for a bike ride. do something that is good for your soul
00:25:43.331 --> 00:25:44.366
Do something that is good for your soul because you spend
00:25:44.432 --> 00:25:45.400
That is good for your soul because you spend a lot of energy worrying.
00:25:45.467 --> 00:25:46.434
Because you spend a lot of energy worrying. and in some cases, be quiet.
00:25:46.501 --> 00:25:48.503
A lot of energy worrying. and in some cases, be quiet. if your own words
00:25:48.570 --> 00:25:49.738
And in some cases, be quiet. if your own words are bearing witness
00:25:49.804 --> 00:25:50.972
If your own words are bearing witness against the promises of god,
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:52.040
Are bearing witness against the promises of god, if the very things
00:25:52.107 --> 00:25:53.041
Against the promises of god, if the very things that you're saying,
00:25:53.108 --> 00:25:54.042
If the very things that you're saying, in your worry
00:25:54.109 --> 00:25:55.043
That you're saying, in your worry about your situation,
00:25:55.110 --> 00:25:56.044
In your worry about your situation, is in direct conflict
00:25:56.111 --> 00:25:57.078
About your situation, is in direct conflict with the word of god,
00:25:57.145 --> 00:25:58.113
Is in direct conflict with the word of god, better not to say anything.
00:25:58.179 --> 00:25:59.180
With the word of god, better not to say anything. there is
00:25:59.247 --> 00:26:00.281
Better not to say anything. there is a physiological response
00:26:00.348 --> 00:26:01.583
There is a physiological response to the things we declare
00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:02.651
A physiological response to the things we declare over our lives.
00:26:02.717 --> 00:26:03.718
To the things we declare over our lives. so be quiet, cease striving,
00:26:03.785 --> 00:26:04.853
Over our lives. so be quiet, cease striving, let go, sink down,
00:26:04.919 --> 00:26:06.721
So be quiet, cease striving, let go, sink down, relax, be quiet,
00:26:06.788 --> 00:26:08.189
Let go, sink down, relax, be quiet, and the rest of the verse is
00:26:08.256 --> 00:26:09.557
Relax, be quiet, and the rest of the verse is know that he is god.
00:26:09.624 --> 00:26:10.792
And the rest of the verse is know that he is god. that word know translates
00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:13.094
Know that he is god. that word know translates "intimate encounter
00:26:13.161 --> 00:26:14.462
That word know translates "intimate encounter and experience."
00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:15.830
"intimate encounter and experience." so god is saying,
00:26:15.897 --> 00:26:17.065
And experience." so god is saying, "in those places of stress,
00:26:17.132 --> 00:26:19.200
So god is saying, "in those places of stress, encounter me.
00:26:19.267 --> 00:26:20.468
"in those places of stress, encounter me. know me on a deeper level."
00:26:20.535 --> 00:26:21.703
Encounter me. know me on a deeper level." whatever your area
00:26:21.770 --> 00:26:22.771
Know me on a deeper level." whatever your area of stress is,
00:26:22.837 --> 00:26:23.805
Whatever your area of stress is, he's the provider.
00:26:23.872 --> 00:26:24.839
Of stress is, he's the provider. he's your banner.
