Life Today with James Robison | Todd Mullins - Depth, Not Doubt | April 7, 2025

>> after seven years of infertility
00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:09.265
And seven years of trying to have a family,
00:00:09.265 --> 00:00:11.534
Finally had a baby boy, and then this happened.
00:00:11.534 --> 00:00:13.703
And the journey that took us on
00:00:13.703 --> 00:00:15.738
Where i began to question everything that i believed.
00:00:15.738 --> 00:00:19.242
Todd mullins shares the doubt he experienced
00:00:19.242 --> 00:00:21.644
From unanswered prayers, and what god taught him
00:00:21.644 --> 00:00:24.647
Through the journey.
00:00:24.647 --> 00:00:26.649
>> and i learned at that moment that fear and faith
00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:29.619
Have the basic same definition.
00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:32.155
Both of them are believing
00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:34.224
That what you can't see is going to happen.
00:00:34.224 --> 00:00:42.432

I want you to know. we couldn't show you the missionary because
00:01:05.388 --> 00:01:06.389
We couldn't show you the missionary because it could cost him his life.
00:01:06.456 --> 00:01:07.790
The missionary because it could cost him his life. but in those 31 years, with

To christ who made it public, who signed up, who took bible study.

So much because you love the father. what inspired you
00:02:34.544 --> 00:02:35.545
You love the father. what inspired you to write this?
00:02:35.612 --> 00:02:36.613
What inspired you to write this? where did this doubt thing
00:02:36.679 --> 00:02:37.747
To write this? where did this doubt thing jump so big?
00:02:37.814 --> 00:02:38.815
Where did this doubt thing jump so big? todd: it came out of
00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:39.983
Jump so big? todd: it came out of my own struggle with doubt,
00:02:40.049 --> 00:02:41.818
Todd: it came out of my own struggle with doubt, my own questions, and
00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:43.353
My own struggle with doubt, my own questions, and my own anxieties about god.
00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:45.655
My own questions, and my own anxieties about god. why is this happening
00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:46.856
My own anxieties about god. why is this happening in my life?
00:02:46.923 --> 00:02:47.890
Why is this happening in my life? or can i do what
00:02:47.957 --> 00:02:49.025
In my life? or can i do what you're asking me to do?
00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:50.260
Or can i do what you're asking me to do? as i processed it,
00:02:50.326 --> 00:02:51.327
You're asking me to do? as i processed it, i realized that doubt
00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:53.363
As i processed it, i realized that doubt is something everybody
00:02:53.429 --> 00:02:54.464
I realized that doubt is something everybody has to deal with.
00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:55.798
Is something everybody has to deal with. even the most confident people
00:02:55.865 --> 00:02:57.700
Has to deal with. even the most confident people that we know have had
00:02:57.767 --> 00:02:59.202
Even the most confident people that we know have had to struggle with questions
00:02:59.269 --> 00:03:00.336
That we know have had to struggle with questions of doubt and uncertainty
00:03:00.403 --> 00:03:01.537
To struggle with questions of doubt and uncertainty and even people
00:03:01.604 --> 00:03:02.739
Of doubt and uncertainty and even people with great faith
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:03.773
And even people with great faith that we look up to.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.907
With great faith that we look up to. the reason they probably
00:03:04.974 --> 00:03:05.908
That we look up to. the reason they probably have that great faith
00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:07.043
The reason they probably have that great faith is because they struggled
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:08.144
Have that great faith is because they struggled through their doubts
00:03:08.211 --> 00:03:09.212
Is because they struggled through their doubts and they asked
00:03:09.279 --> 00:03:10.313
Through their doubts and they asked the right questions.
00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:11.414
And they asked the right questions. what i've learned is that
00:03:11.481 --> 00:03:12.515
The right questions. what i've learned is that if you learn how to deal
00:03:12.582 --> 00:03:13.616
What i've learned is that if you learn how to deal with your doubt,
00:03:13.683 --> 00:03:14.784
If you learn how to deal with your doubt, it won't take you out.
00:03:14.851 --> 00:03:15.818
With your doubt, it won't take you out. it can actually lead
00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:16.886
It won't take you out. it can actually lead to a deeper faith.
00:03:16.953 --> 00:03:18.388
It can actually lead to a deeper faith. on my journey, i found that
00:03:18.454 --> 00:03:19.555
To a deeper faith. on my journey, i found that there were three ways
00:03:19.622 --> 00:03:20.890
On my journey, i found that there were three ways that most people dealt with
00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:23.092
There were three ways that most people dealt with when it comes to doubt,
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.227
That most people dealt with when it comes to doubt, and this has happened
00:03:24.294 --> 00:03:25.261
When it comes to doubt, and this has happened in my life.
00:03:25.328 --> 00:03:26.329
And this has happened in my life. we doubt ourselves.
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:27.664
In my life. we doubt ourselves. we don't think that we can.
00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:28.831
We doubt ourselves. we don't think that we can. we sit here and feel
00:03:28.898 --> 00:03:29.966
We don't think that we can. we sit here and feel all the insecurities,
00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:31.200
We sit here and feel all the insecurities, the voices, things that
00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.235
All the insecurities, the voices, things that have been said to us
00:03:32.302 --> 00:03:33.369
The voices, things that have been said to us over the years.
00:03:33.436 --> 00:03:34.470
Have been said to us over the years. so we don't step out
00:03:34.537 --> 00:03:35.505
Over the years. so we don't step out into the life god has for us,
00:03:35.571 --> 00:03:37.206
So we don't step out into the life god has for us, and we hold back.
00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:38.975
Into the life god has for us, and we hold back. then we doubt god when
00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:40.410
And we hold back. then we doubt god when he doesn't answer our prayers
00:03:40.476 --> 00:03:41.911
Then we doubt god when he doesn't answer our prayers the way we prayed he would,
00:03:41.978 --> 00:03:43.813
He doesn't answer our prayers the way we prayed he would, or think that he should.
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:45.581
The way we prayed he would, or think that he should. we question his goodness.
00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:47.016
Or think that he should. we question his goodness. man, are my prayers
00:03:47.083 --> 00:03:48.217
We question his goodness. man, are my prayers even working?
00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:49.452
Man, are my prayers even working? and then doubt can also
00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:50.687
Even working? and then doubt can also seep into our relationships
00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:52.021
And then doubt can also seep into our relationships with people because
00:03:52.088 --> 00:03:53.323
Seep into our relationships with people because when someone lets us down,
00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:55.058
With people because when someone lets us down, we question their motives,
00:03:55.124 --> 00:03:56.759
When someone lets us down, we question their motives, question their intentions,
00:03:56.826 --> 00:03:58.161
We question their motives, question their intentions, and it causes us to pull back.
00:03:58.227 --> 00:03:59.529
Question their intentions, and it causes us to pull back. in all of those ways,
00:03:59.595 --> 00:04:01.130
And it causes us to pull back. in all of those ways, it's the enemy's ploy to try
00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:02.298
In all of those ways, it's the enemy's ploy to try to take us out so that
00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:03.633
It's the enemy's ploy to try to take us out so that we don't step out,
00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:04.734
To take us out so that we don't step out, we don't trust god,
00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:05.735
We don't step out, we don't trust god, we don't have
00:04:05.802 --> 00:04:06.903
We don't trust god, we don't have the relationships
00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:08.071
We don't have the relationships we're created for.
00:04:08.137 --> 00:04:09.205
The relationships we're created for. so, in the book, i really try
00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:10.340
We're created for. so, in the book, i really try to share my journey with that,
00:04:10.406 --> 00:04:11.574
So, in the book, i really try to share my journey with that, my own struggle with that,
00:04:11.641 --> 00:04:12.709
To share my journey with that, my own struggle with that, the lessons i learned,
00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:13.810
My own struggle with that, the lessons i learned, the mistakes i made, and
00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:15.378
The lessons i learned, the mistakes i made, and how it led to deeper faith.
00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:16.679
The mistakes i made, and how it led to deeper faith. betty: don't you think
00:04:16.746 --> 00:04:17.814
How it led to deeper faith. betty: don't you think that doubt can also come
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:18.981
Betty: don't you think that doubt can also come from unanswered questions
00:04:19.048 --> 00:04:20.450
That doubt can also come from unanswered questions we've had, an unanswered
00:04:20.516 --> 00:04:21.851
From unanswered questions we've had, an unanswered prayer we call it
00:04:21.918 --> 00:04:23.219
We've had, an unanswered prayer we call it that causes us to doubt god
00:04:23.286 --> 00:04:24.654
Prayer we call it that causes us to doubt god sometimes?
00:04:24.721 --> 00:04:25.722
That causes us to doubt god sometimes? todd: absolutely!
00:04:25.788 --> 00:04:26.789
Sometimes? todd: absolutely! betty: because a lot
00:04:26.856 --> 00:04:27.857
Todd: absolutely! betty: because a lot of questions
00:04:27.924 --> 00:04:28.925
Betty: because a lot of questions aren't answered now.
00:04:28.991 --> 00:04:29.992
Of questions aren't answered now. todd: that's right.
00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:31.060
Aren't answered now. todd: that's right. and i think that's why
00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:32.195
Todd: that's right. and i think that's why it's called faith because
00:04:32.261 --> 00:04:33.262
And i think that's why it's called faith because we're not going to get
00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:34.430
It's called faith because we're not going to get all the answers to
00:04:34.497 --> 00:04:35.498
We're not going to get all the answers to the questions we have.
00:04:35.565 --> 00:04:36.566
All the answers to the questions we have. we're not going to fully
00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:37.767
The questions we have. we're not going to fully understand it but we can go
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:39.235
We're not going to fully understand it but we can go to god with those questions.
00:04:39.302 --> 00:04:40.737
Understand it but we can go to god with those questions. the problem i've seen
00:04:40.803 --> 00:04:42.271
To god with those questions. the problem i've seen is when people push away
00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.740
The problem i've seen is when people push away from god in their pain.
00:04:43.806 --> 00:04:45.308
Is when people push away from god in their pain. when they have unanswered
00:04:45.375 --> 00:04:46.409
From god in their pain. when they have unanswered questions and things
00:04:46.476 --> 00:04:47.977
When they have unanswered questions and things aren't working out the way
00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.112
Questions and things aren't working out the way they think and they push
00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:50.313
Aren't working out the way they think and they push away from god, well,
00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:51.414
They think and they push away from god, well, they're never going
00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:52.482
Away from god, well, they're never going to find what they need.
00:04:52.548 --> 00:04:53.649
They're never going to find what they need. but when we allow that pain
00:04:53.716 --> 00:04:54.884
To find what they need. but when we allow that pain to push us towards god
00:04:54.951 --> 00:04:56.052
But when we allow that pain to push us towards god and we reach up for god
00:04:56.119 --> 00:04:57.387
To push us towards god and we reach up for god in those times of questions,
00:04:57.453 --> 00:04:59.322
And we reach up for god in those times of questions, he's always faithful
00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:00.423
In those times of questions, he's always faithful to show us himself.
00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:01.991
James: and so many times too
00:05:02.091 --> 00:05:03.393
James: and so many times too we don't see things
00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:05.428
James: and so many times too we don't see things that we expect,
00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:07.397
We don't see things that we expect, is the absolute to see,
00:05:07.463 --> 00:05:10.566
That we expect, is the absolute to see, even in answered prayer.
00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:12.735
We lost
00:05:12.835 --> 00:05:13.736
We lost a 40-year-old daughter,
00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:16.205
We lost a 40-year-old daughter, and she had three children.
00:05:16.272 --> 00:05:19.409
A 40-year-old daughter, and she had three children. she believed with
00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:20.510
And she had three children. she believed with all her heart she was going
00:05:20.576 --> 00:05:21.577
She believed with all her heart she was going to be healed; she was
00:05:21.644 --> 00:05:22.945
All her heart she was going to be healed; she was the strongest christian
00:05:23.012 --> 00:05:24.447
To be healed; she was the strongest christian that we ever knew,
00:05:24.514 --> 00:05:25.581
The strongest christian that we ever knew, even though it was
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:26.649
That we ever knew, even though it was our daughter.
00:05:26.716 --> 00:05:27.850
Even though it was our daughter. and all the family,
00:05:27.917 --> 00:05:29.051
Our daughter. and all the family, her own family said that.
00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:30.153
And all the family, her own family said that. everybody that knew her
00:05:30.219 --> 00:05:31.354
Her own family said that. everybody that knew her said that.
00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:32.588
Everybody that knew her said that. we just couldn't
00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:33.723
Said that. we just couldn't figure it out.
00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:34.957
We just couldn't figure it out. we couldn't get it;
00:05:35.024 --> 00:05:36.125
Figure it out. we couldn't get it; couldn't get a proper answer.
00:05:36.192 --> 00:05:37.560
We couldn't get it; couldn't get a proper answer. don't you think that
00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:38.728
Couldn't get a proper answer. don't you think that those are the kinds of things
00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:39.829
Don't you think that those are the kinds of things that a lot of people
00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:41.097
Those are the kinds of things that a lot of people are literally taken down
00:05:41.164 --> 00:05:42.365
That a lot of people are literally taken down and out because
00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:43.499
Are literally taken down and out because they don't see it?
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:44.801
And out because they don't see it? how do you deal with that
00:05:44.867 --> 00:05:46.202
They don't see it? how do you deal with that to help people with
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:47.336
Todd: i think that's one
00:05:48.604 --> 00:05:49.505
Todd: i think that's one of the number one reasons
00:05:49.572 --> 00:05:50.940
Of the number one reasons that people that have faith
00:05:51.007 --> 00:05:52.375
That people that have faith begin to lose their faith
00:05:52.442 --> 00:05:53.943
Begin to lose their faith is when doubt seems
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:55.378
Is when doubt seems to take us out,
00:05:55.445 --> 00:05:56.879
When life doesn't
00:05:58.314 --> 00:05:59.248
When life doesn't turn out the way we thought
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:00.750
When life doesn't turn out the way we thought it would, or the way
00:06:00.817 --> 00:06:01.951
Turn out the way we thought it would, or the way we prayed that god would
00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:03.286
It would, or the way we prayed that god would come through for us.
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:04.720
We prayed that god would come through for us. in those moments,
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:05.855
Come through for us. in those moments, doubt screams the loudest
00:06:05.922 --> 00:06:06.989
In those moments, doubt screams the loudest to take us out and make us
00:06:07.056 --> 00:06:08.191
Doubt screams the loudest to take us out and make us push away from god.
00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:10.059
To take us out and make us push away from god. that is a very normal response
00:06:10.126 --> 00:06:12.595
Push away from god. that is a very normal response of life when
00:06:12.662 --> 00:06:13.896
That is a very normal response of life when that happens to us.
00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:15.431
Of life when that happens to us. for me, it was our son.
00:06:15.498 --> 00:06:17.500
That happens to us. for me, it was our son. jefferson was diagnosed
00:06:17.567 --> 00:06:19.035
For me, it was our son. jefferson was diagnosed on the autism spectrum.
00:06:19.101 --> 00:06:20.436
Jefferson was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. after 7 years of infertility
00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:22.238
On the autism spectrum. after 7 years of infertility and 7 years of trying
00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:23.673
After 7 years of infertility and 7 years of trying to have a family,
00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:24.907
And 7 years of trying to have a family, finally had a baby boy,
00:06:24.974 --> 00:06:26.108
To have a family, finally had a baby boy, and then this happened.
00:06:26.175 --> 00:06:27.376
Finally had a baby boy, and then this happened. the journey that took us on,
00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:28.978
And then this happened. the journey that took us on, where i began to question
00:06:29.045 --> 00:06:30.213
The journey that took us on, where i began to question everything that i believed.
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.114
Where i began to question everything that i believed. i remember when we're sitting
00:06:32.181 --> 00:06:33.282
Everything that i believed. i remember when we're sitting there going, god,
00:06:33.349 --> 00:06:34.450
I remember when we're sitting there going, god, why are you letting this
00:06:34.517 --> 00:06:35.751
There going, god, why are you letting this happen to me?
00:06:35.818 --> 00:06:37.019
Why are you letting this happen to me? why is this happening
00:06:37.086 --> 00:06:38.154
Happen to me? why is this happening to our son?
00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:39.288
Why is this happening to our son? how are we going
00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:40.323
To our son? how are we going to deal with this problem?
00:06:40.389 --> 00:06:41.457
How are we going to deal with this problem? i remember in the moment
00:06:41.524 --> 00:06:42.859
To deal with this problem? i remember in the moment my faith would pop up
00:06:42.925 --> 00:06:43.926
I remember in the moment my faith would pop up and i'd say, well, that's
00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:44.927
My faith would pop up and i'd say, well, that's not going to describe him.
00:06:44.994 --> 00:06:46.062
And i'd say, well, that's not going to describe him. it may prescribe a journey
00:06:46.128 --> 00:06:47.230
Not going to describe him. it may prescribe a journey we have to go on with him,
00:06:47.296 --> 00:06:48.865
It may prescribe a journey we have to go on with him, and therapy will have to do,
00:06:48.931 --> 00:06:50.266
We have to go on with him, and therapy will have to do, but it's not going
00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:51.334
And therapy will have to do, but it's not going to describe my boy,
00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:52.401
But it's not going to describe my boy, because only god can do that.
00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:53.836
To describe my boy, because only god can do that. we saw jefferson,
00:06:53.903 --> 00:06:54.904
Because only god can do that. we saw jefferson, and he started doing well,
00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:56.038
We saw jefferson, and he started doing well, and things got better.
00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:57.106
And he started doing well, and things got better. he didn't have
00:06:57.173 --> 00:06:58.174
And things got better. he didn't have any language or words,
00:06:58.241 --> 00:06:59.242
He didn't have any language or words, and he started getting words,
00:06:59.308 --> 00:07:00.343
Any language or words, and he started getting words, and four words became
00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:01.410
And he started getting words, and four words became eight words and then 80 words.
00:07:01.477 --> 00:07:02.778
And four words became eight words and then 80 words. and then he didn't stop
00:07:02.845 --> 00:07:03.913
Eight words and then 80 words. and then he didn't stop talking in the back seat
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:05.047
And then he didn't stop talking in the back seat of the car.
00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:06.115
Talking in the back seat of the car. one time i got frustrated.
00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:07.250
Of the car. one time i got frustrated. i'm thinking, man,
00:07:07.316 --> 00:07:08.317
One time i got frustrated. i'm thinking, man, he's talking a lot.
00:07:08.384 --> 00:07:09.385
I'm thinking, man, he's talking a lot. god whispered to me
00:07:09.452 --> 00:07:10.453
He's talking a lot. god whispered to me and said, "yeah, you prayed
00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:11.587
God whispered to me and said, "yeah, you prayed for every word.
00:07:11.654 --> 00:07:12.655
And said, "yeah, you prayed for every word. every word is an answer
00:07:12.722 --> 00:07:13.789
For every word. every word is an answer to prayer."
00:07:13.856 --> 00:07:15.024
Every word is an answer to prayer." we saw him progress,
00:07:15.091 --> 00:07:16.158
To prayer." we saw him progress, and then all of a sudden
00:07:16.225 --> 00:07:17.326
We saw him progress, and then all of a sudden when he hit his teenage years,
00:07:17.393 --> 00:07:18.561
And then all of a sudden when he hit his teenage years, he regressed.
00:07:18.628 --> 00:07:19.762
When he hit his teenage years, he regressed. he lost his language.
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:21.397
He regressed. he lost his language. he wasn't able to function.

He was having neurological episodes. it was at the same time

Neurological episodes. it was at the same time that julie and i were
00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:29.372
It was at the same time that julie and i were stepping up to be
00:07:29.438 --> 00:07:30.373
That julie and i were stepping up to be the senior leaders
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.374
Stepping up to be the senior leaders of the church.
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.408
The senior leaders of the church. i was thinking, god,
00:07:32.475 --> 00:07:33.576
Of the church. i was thinking, god, how can we do this?
00:07:33.643 --> 00:07:34.844
I was thinking, god, how can we do this? he's an only child.
00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:36.412
How can we do this? he's an only child. he doesn't have any
00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:37.480
He's an only child. he doesn't have any close family that's younger.
00:07:37.547 --> 00:07:38.881
He doesn't have any close family that's younger. we were talking out
00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:39.949
Close family that's younger. we were talking out all of our fears and all of
00:07:40.016 --> 00:07:41.417
We were talking out all of our fears and all of our worries and concerns
00:07:41.484 --> 00:07:42.485
All of our fears and all of our worries and concerns about his future and what
00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:43.553
Our worries and concerns about his future and what was going to happen to him.
00:07:43.619 --> 00:07:44.787
About his future and what was going to happen to him. i remember one day, he had
00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:46.022
Was going to happen to him. i remember one day, he had been kind of in the house,
00:07:46.088 --> 00:07:47.290
I remember one day, he had been kind of in the house, not being able to get out
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:48.524
Been kind of in the house, not being able to get out for weeks and weeks,
00:07:48.591 --> 00:07:49.592
Not being able to get out for weeks and weeks, and we decided we were going
00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:50.826
For weeks and weeks, and we decided we were going to take him to the beach
00:07:50.893 --> 00:07:52.094
And we decided we were going to take him to the beach to go walk and pray
00:07:52.161 --> 00:07:53.162
To take him to the beach to go walk and pray on the beach.
00:07:53.229 --> 00:07:54.230
To go walk and pray on the beach. when you live in florida,
00:07:54.297 --> 00:07:55.298
On the beach. when you live in florida, at least you get to go pray
00:07:55.364 --> 00:07:56.766
On the beach.
00:07:57.934 --> 00:07:58.901
On the beach. and so, he and our dog
00:07:58.968 --> 00:08:00.136
And so, he and our dog were up ahead of us,
00:08:00.202 --> 00:08:01.203
Were up ahead of us, and julie and i were just
00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:02.438
And julie and i were just crying out to god
00:08:02.505 --> 00:08:03.506
Crying out to god and just asking god
00:08:03.573 --> 00:08:04.740
And just asking god for mercy for our boy.
00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:06.943
Towards us wearing
00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:09.645
Towards us wearing this t-shirt.
00:08:09.712 --> 00:08:10.846
Towards us wearing this t-shirt. i wouldn't normally
00:08:10.913 --> 00:08:11.981
This t-shirt. i wouldn't normally encourage anybody
00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:12.982
I wouldn't normally encourage anybody to get their theology from
00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:14.050
Encourage anybody to get their theology from a t-shirt on a beach
00:08:14.116 --> 00:08:15.251
To get their theology from a t-shirt on a beach in south florida.
00:08:15.318 --> 00:08:16.686
A t-shirt on a beach in south florida. that could be dangerous.
00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:18.054
In south florida. that could be dangerous. but that day, god spoke
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.555
That could be dangerous. but that day, god spoke to us through that t-shirt.
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:20.856
But that day, god spoke to us through that t-shirt. his t-shirt said, "listen
00:08:20.923 --> 00:08:22.158
To us through that t-shirt. his t-shirt said, "listen to what you know,
00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:23.492
His t-shirt said, "listen to what you know, not to what you fear."
00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:25.628
To what you know, not to what you fear." when i read it, it was
00:08:25.695 --> 00:08:26.929
Not to what you fear." when i read it, it was as if the holy spirit said,
00:08:26.996 --> 00:08:28.331
When i read it, it was as if the holy spirit said, "todd, you've been not only
00:08:28.397 --> 00:08:29.899
As if the holy spirit said, "todd, you've been not only listening to your fears,
00:08:29.966 --> 00:08:30.967
"todd, you've been not only listening to your fears, you've been speaking
00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:32.134
Listening to your fears, you've been speaking your fears.
00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:33.369
You've been speaking your fears. you've been rehearsing
00:08:33.436 --> 00:08:34.837
Your fears. you've been rehearsing your fears and your concerns."
00:08:34.904 --> 00:08:36.539
You've been rehearsing your fears and your concerns." so, julie and i, right then
00:08:36.606 --> 00:08:37.707
Your fears and your concerns." so, julie and i, right then at that moment something
00:08:37.773 --> 00:08:38.708
So, julie and i, right then at that moment something shifted inside of us.
00:08:38.774 --> 00:08:40.076
At that moment something shifted inside of us. we went home and we said,
00:08:40.142 --> 00:08:41.110
Shifted inside of us. we went home and we said, "we are not speaking
00:08:41.177 --> 00:08:42.144
We went home and we said, "we are not speaking our fears or worries anymore.
00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:43.779
"we are not speaking our fears or worries anymore. we're not giving that airtime.
00:08:43.846 --> 00:08:45.514
Our fears or worries anymore. we're not giving that airtime. we're going to only confess
00:08:45.581 --> 00:08:47.249
We're not giving that airtime. we're going to only confess the word of god over our son,
00:08:47.316 --> 00:08:48.918
We're going to only confess the word of god over our son, over his future."
00:08:48.985 --> 00:08:49.986
The word of god over our son, over his future." so, what do we know?
00:08:50.052 --> 00:08:51.120
Over his future." so, what do we know? we know that
00:08:51.187 --> 00:08:52.188
So, what do we know? we know that jefferson's called and chosen.
00:08:52.254 --> 00:08:53.255
We know that jefferson's called and chosen. we know that
00:08:53.322 --> 00:08:54.323
Jefferson's called and chosen. we know that god has a good plan
00:08:54.390 --> 00:08:55.491
We know that god has a good plan and a future for him.
00:08:55.558 --> 00:08:56.659
God has a good plan and a future for him. we know that he who began
00:08:56.726 --> 00:08:57.860
And a future for him. we know that he who began a good work in him
00:08:57.927 --> 00:08:59.161
We know that he who began a good work in him is faithful to complete it.
00:08:59.228 --> 00:09:01.097
For jefferson, right?
00:09:02.632 --> 00:09:04.333
For jefferson, right? but something shifted in us,
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:05.635
But something shifted in us, and that began to shift
00:09:05.701 --> 00:09:06.736
And that began to shift the atmosphere in our home.
00:09:06.802 --> 00:09:08.170
The atmosphere in our home. we put sticky notes
00:09:08.237 --> 00:09:09.305
We put sticky notes of scriptures
00:09:09.372 --> 00:09:10.306
Of scriptures on all the mirrors
00:09:10.373 --> 00:09:11.507
And hope began to rise
00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:15.077
And hope began to rise in our hearts.
00:09:15.144 --> 00:09:16.345
And hope began to rise in our hearts. and faith began to rise again.
00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:17.680
In our hearts. and faith began to rise again. we had to fuel our faith
00:09:17.747 --> 00:09:19.248
And faith began to rise again. we had to fuel our faith instead of feeding our fears.
00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:21.250
We had to fuel our faith instead of feeding our fears. i learned at that moment
00:09:21.317 --> 00:09:22.685
Instead of feeding our fears. i learned at that moment that fear and faith have
00:09:22.752 --> 00:09:24.820
I learned at that moment that fear and faith have the basic same definition.
00:09:24.887 --> 00:09:27.223
That fear and faith have the basic same definition. both of them are believing
00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:28.824
The basic same definition. both of them are believing that what you can't see
00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.026
Both of them are believing that what you can't see is going to happen.
00:09:30.092 --> 00:09:31.494
That what you can't see is going to happen. and whichever one
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:32.528
Is going to happen. and whichever one you align yourself with
00:09:32.595 --> 00:09:33.696
And whichever one you align yourself with is going to direct
00:09:33.763 --> 00:09:34.797
You align yourself with is going to direct your future.
00:09:34.864 --> 00:09:35.831
Is going to direct your future. it's either going to take
00:09:35.898 --> 00:09:37.033
Your future. it's either going to take you down the path of
00:09:37.099 --> 00:09:38.134
It's either going to take you down the path of more fear or it's going
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.301
You down the path of more fear or it's going to build your faith.
00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:40.469
More fear or it's going to build your faith. we started to build
00:09:40.536 --> 00:09:41.537
To build your faith. we started to build our faith back up again.
00:09:41.604 --> 00:09:42.805
We started to build our faith back up again. but we had to do that.
00:09:42.872 --> 00:09:43.973
Our faith back up again. but we had to do that. we had to lean in to god
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:45.074
But we had to do that. we had to lean in to god and keep hoping and praying
00:09:45.141 --> 00:09:46.075
We had to lean in to god and keep hoping and praying and believing.
00:09:46.142 --> 00:09:47.410
And keep hoping and praying and believing. it wasn't a couple more weeks
00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:48.811
And believing. it wasn't a couple more weeks or a couple more months,
00:09:48.878 --> 00:09:49.912
It wasn't a couple more weeks or a couple more months, but about 18 more months,
00:09:49.979 --> 00:09:51.614
Or a couple more months, but about 18 more months, jefferson started
00:09:51.681 --> 00:09:52.682
But about 18 more months, jefferson started to emerge again and
00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:54.016
Jefferson started to emerge again and started to go back to church.
00:09:54.083 --> 00:09:55.551
To emerge again and started to go back to church. we got him back to church
00:09:55.618 --> 00:09:56.752
Started to go back to church. we got him back to church sooner than that.
00:09:56.819 --> 00:09:57.987
We got him back to church sooner than that. and he started to play guitar
00:09:58.054 --> 00:09:59.321
Sooner than that. and he started to play guitar and hang out and volunteer.
00:09:59.388 --> 00:10:00.856
And he started to play guitar and hang out and volunteer. we didn't know
00:10:00.923 --> 00:10:01.957
And hang out and volunteer. we didn't know if he'd finish school.
00:10:02.024 --> 00:10:03.092
We didn't know if he'd finish school. he ended up finishing college,
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.193
If he'd finish school. he ended up finishing college, top of his class.
00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:05.828
He ended up finishing college, top of his class. leads worship at
00:10:05.895 --> 00:10:06.962
Top of his class. leads worship at our church today
00:10:07.029 --> 00:10:08.831
Leads worship at our church today and got married to a girl
00:10:08.898 --> 00:10:10.299
Our church today and got married to a girl that he fell in love with
00:10:10.366 --> 00:10:11.701
And got married to a girl that he fell in love with serving at church together.
00:10:11.767 --> 00:10:13.002
That he fell in love with serving at church together. he and cassie
00:10:13.069 --> 00:10:14.136
Serving at church together. he and cassie are doing great.
00:10:14.203 --> 00:10:15.438
He and cassie are doing great. so, we still are on that
00:10:15.504 --> 00:10:16.505
Are doing great. so, we still are on that journey of miracles
00:10:16.572 --> 00:10:17.773
So, we still are on that journey of miracles but we are seeing god do
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.141
Journey of miracles but we are seeing god do some amazing things
00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:20.476
But we are seeing god do some amazing things in his life.
00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:21.744
Some amazing things in his life. i always encourage people
00:10:21.811 --> 00:10:23.079
In his life. i always encourage people that we like a miracle
00:10:23.145 --> 00:10:24.580
I always encourage people that we like a miracle in a minute.
00:10:24.647 --> 00:10:25.648
That we like a miracle in a minute. and sometimes, god does
00:10:25.715 --> 00:10:26.749
In a minute. and sometimes, god does a miracle in a minute.
00:10:26.816 --> 00:10:28.084
And sometimes, god does a miracle in a minute. we like that because
00:10:28.150 --> 00:10:29.185
A miracle in a minute. we like that because it's fast and it's quick
00:10:29.251 --> 00:10:30.352
We like that because it's fast and it's quick and we get to move on
00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:31.554
It's fast and it's quick and we get to move on with life but often
00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:32.722
And we get to move on with life but often god takes us on a journey
00:10:32.788 --> 00:10:33.989
With life but often god takes us on a journey of little miracles.
00:10:34.056 --> 00:10:36.158
God takes us on a journey of little miracles. if you don't know
00:10:36.225 --> 00:10:37.326
Of little miracles. if you don't know which road you're on,
00:10:37.393 --> 00:10:38.360
If you don't know which road you're on, which route you're on,
00:10:38.427 --> 00:10:39.495
Which road you're on, which route you're on, you can miss
00:10:39.562 --> 00:10:40.596
Which route you're on, you can miss the little miracles
00:10:40.663 --> 00:10:41.764
You can miss the little miracles because you're looking for
00:10:41.831 --> 00:10:42.765
The little miracles because you're looking for the big miracle.
00:10:42.832 --> 00:10:43.866
Because you're looking for the big miracle. but if you notice
00:10:43.933 --> 00:10:44.900
The big miracle. but if you notice the little things
00:10:44.967 --> 00:10:45.968
But if you notice the little things god is doing along the way,
00:10:46.035 --> 00:10:47.036
The little things god is doing along the way, it will build your faith
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:48.204
God is doing along the way, it will build your faith and help you recognize
00:10:48.270 --> 00:10:49.238
It will build your faith and help you recognize that the hand of god
00:10:49.305 --> 00:10:50.272
And help you recognize that the hand of god is going to help you
00:10:50.339 --> 00:10:51.307
That the hand of god is going to help you through even those
00:10:51.373 --> 00:10:52.374
Is going to help you through even those darkest moments of your life.
00:10:52.441 --> 00:10:54.143
James: when we lost a daughter
00:10:54.243 --> 00:10:55.811
James: when we lost a daughter who believed as we did,
00:10:55.878 --> 00:10:57.246
James: when we lost a daughter who believed as we did, she would be miraculously
00:10:57.313 --> 00:10:58.447
Who believed as we did, she would be miraculously healed from cancer that
00:10:58.514 --> 00:11:00.082
She would be miraculously healed from cancer that she fought seven years, and
00:11:00.149 --> 00:11:01.951
Healed from cancer that she fought seven years, and then when it didn't happen,
00:11:02.017 --> 00:11:03.786
I found myself asking
00:11:03.886 --> 00:11:05.321
I found myself asking the question that every person
00:11:05.387 --> 00:11:06.789
I found myself asking the question that every person who has a tragedy come
00:11:06.856 --> 00:11:08.591
The question that every person who has a tragedy come in their life, why this? why?
00:11:08.657 --> 00:11:11.127
Who has a tragedy come in their life, why this? why? it was as though god,
00:11:11.193 --> 00:11:12.862
In their life, why this? why? it was as though god, as clearly as a person
00:11:12.928 --> 00:11:14.196
It was as though god, as clearly as a person can speak, and certainly
00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:15.364
As clearly as a person can speak, and certainly he does.
00:11:15.431 --> 00:11:16.732
Can speak, and certainly he does. he said, "you'll never
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.933
He does. he said, "you'll never get the answer to why.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.069
He said, "you'll never get the answer to why. you need to ask the question,
00:11:20.136 --> 00:11:21.303
Get the answer to why. you need to ask the question, what do you want
00:11:21.370 --> 00:11:22.371
You need to ask the question, what do you want to do with it?"
00:11:22.438 --> 00:11:23.773
What do you want to do with it?" do you think that's
00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.040
To do with it?" do you think that's an important question to ask
00:11:25.107 --> 00:11:26.075
Do you think that's an important question to ask when you don't see the why
00:11:26.142 --> 00:11:27.543
An important question to ask when you don't see the why and you do have the doubts
00:11:27.610 --> 00:11:28.744
When you don't see the why and you do have the doubts coming at you, and they come
00:11:28.811 --> 00:11:30.179
And you do have the doubts coming at you, and they come from every direction?
00:11:30.246 --> 00:11:31.747
Coming at you, and they come from every direction? with all that's in your path
00:11:31.814 --> 00:11:34.049
From every direction? with all that's in your path right now, all that's
00:11:34.116 --> 00:11:35.384
With all that's in your path right now, all that's painful in your life,
00:11:35.451 --> 00:11:37.086
Right now, all that's painful in your life, all that distracts,
00:11:37.153 --> 00:11:39.188
Painful in your life, all that distracts, is that a wise thing to do
00:11:39.255 --> 00:11:41.590
All that distracts, is that a wise thing to do is just say, god, i don't know
00:11:41.657 --> 00:11:43.192
Is that a wise thing to do is just say, god, i don't know that i will ever know why.
00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:45.194
Is just say, god, i don't know that i will ever know why. maybe not even in heaven,
00:11:45.261 --> 00:11:47.797
That i will ever know why. maybe not even in heaven, but what do you want
00:11:47.863 --> 00:11:48.964
Maybe not even in heaven, but what do you want to do with it?
00:11:49.031 --> 00:11:50.132
But what do you want to do with it? because i feel like
00:11:50.199 --> 00:11:51.267
To do with it? because i feel like god has shown us that he can
00:11:51.333 --> 00:11:52.568
Because i feel like god has shown us that he can take our pain, he can
00:11:52.635 --> 00:11:53.936
God has shown us that he can take our pain, he can take our loss and our sorrow,
00:11:54.003 --> 00:11:56.739
Take our pain, he can take our loss and our sorrow, and if we ask, what do you
00:11:56.806 --> 00:11:57.973
Take our loss and our sorrow, and if we ask, what do you want to do with this,
00:11:58.040 --> 00:11:59.475
And if we ask, what do you want to do with this, he just pours out
00:11:59.542 --> 00:12:00.643
Want to do with this, he just pours out more of his love,
00:12:00.709 --> 00:12:02.077
He just pours out more of his love, and oftentimes, answers
00:12:02.144 --> 00:12:03.379
More of his love, and oftentimes, answers that mean a lot to people.
00:12:03.445 --> 00:12:05.414
And oftentimes, answers that mean a lot to people. when you show the person
00:12:05.481 --> 00:12:06.882
That mean a lot to people. when you show the person that doesn't have an answer
00:12:06.949 --> 00:12:08.517
When you show the person that doesn't have an answer or we don't have one,
00:12:08.584 --> 00:12:10.586
That doesn't have an answer or we don't have one, ask god, what do you want
00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:11.887
Or we don't have one, ask god, what do you want to do with it?
00:12:11.954 --> 00:12:13.222
Ask god, what do you want to do with it? does that sound like that
00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:14.990
To do with it? does that sound like that comes directly from god?
00:12:15.057 --> 00:12:17.193
Because we won't know
00:12:19.228 --> 00:12:20.262
Because we won't know the why on this side
00:12:20.329 --> 00:12:21.564
The why on this side of eternity.
00:12:21.630 --> 00:12:22.765
Of eternity. there's no way to get
00:12:22.832 --> 00:12:23.966
There's no way to get our minds around
00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:25.100
Our minds around the fullness of it.
00:12:25.167 --> 00:12:26.135
The fullness of it. we know that this
00:12:26.202 --> 00:12:27.203
We know this isn't perfect.
00:12:28.404 --> 00:12:29.371
We know this isn't perfect. we know that when god
00:12:29.438 --> 00:12:30.439
We know this isn't perfect. we know that when god created earth, it was.
00:12:30.506 --> 00:12:31.540
We know that when god created earth, it was. but man, sin came in,
00:12:31.607 --> 00:12:32.942
Created earth, it was. but man, sin came in, and sorrow and death came in.
00:12:33.008 --> 00:12:34.310
But man, sin came in, and sorrow and death came in. but there is a place coming
00:12:34.376 --> 00:12:35.644
And sorrow and death came in. but there is a place coming where there is no more sin,
00:12:35.711 --> 00:12:36.846
But there is a place coming where there is no more sin, sorrow, or death.
00:12:36.912 --> 00:12:38.214
Where there is no more sin, sorrow, or death. i believe that even
00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:39.381
Sorrow, or death. i believe that even the struggles and the pains
00:12:39.448 --> 00:12:40.783
I believe that even the struggles and the pains help us remember
00:12:40.850 --> 00:12:41.984
The struggles and the pains help us remember that heaven's our home,
00:12:42.051 --> 00:12:43.219
Help us remember that heaven's our home, and that god's got something
00:12:43.285 --> 00:12:44.486
That heaven's our home, and that god's got something good waiting for us.
00:12:44.553 --> 00:12:45.487
And that god's got something good waiting for us. betty: i know for myself,
00:12:45.554 --> 00:12:46.922
Good waiting for us. betty: i know for myself, losing our daughter,
00:12:46.989 --> 00:12:48.057
Betty: i know for myself, losing our daughter, of course, it's painful!
00:12:48.123 --> 00:12:49.491
Losing our daughter, of course, it's painful! you always hurt
00:12:49.558 --> 00:12:50.726
Of course, it's painful! you always hurt because they're not here.
00:12:50.793 --> 00:12:52.127
You always hurt because they're not here. and you're right.
00:12:52.194 --> 00:12:53.462
Because they're not here. and you're right. you go through some anger,
00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:55.364
And you're right. you go through some anger, too but if you will allow
00:12:55.431 --> 00:12:56.832
You go through some anger, too but if you will allow god to heal your heart,
00:12:56.899 --> 00:12:59.068
Too but if you will allow god to heal your heart, he turns that anger
00:12:59.134 --> 00:13:00.936
God to heal your heart, he turns that anger and that pain into his joy
00:13:01.003 --> 00:13:03.005
He turns that anger and that pain into his joy and his peace.
00:13:03.072 --> 00:13:04.640
And that pain into his joy and his peace. he said, "i'm not done
00:13:04.707 --> 00:13:05.774
And his peace. he said, "i'm not done with you yet.
00:13:05.841 --> 00:13:07.142
He said, "i'm not done with you yet. your daughter's rejoicing
00:13:07.209 --> 00:13:08.544
With you yet. your daughter's rejoicing in heaven and waiting
00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:10.212
Your daughter's rejoicing in heaven and waiting for you someday."
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.881
In heaven and waiting for you someday." we get the joy
00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:13.048
For you someday." we get the joy of her children
00:13:13.115 --> 00:13:14.216
We get the joy of her children and her grandchildren,
00:13:14.283 --> 00:13:15.818
Of her children and her grandchildren, she's got six grandchildren.
00:13:15.885 --> 00:13:18.020
And her grandchildren, she's got six grandchildren. so, we're watching them
00:13:18.087 --> 00:13:19.188
She's got six grandchildren. so, we're watching them grow up.
00:13:19.255 --> 00:13:20.389
So, we're watching them grow up. and so, god says, "i will
00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:22.091
Grow up. and so, god says, "i will make joy out of this."
00:13:22.157 --> 00:13:23.292
And so, god says, "i will make joy out of this." it takes time.
00:13:23.359 --> 00:13:25.394
Make joy out of this." it takes time. i mean, i don't ever,
00:13:25.461 --> 00:13:26.996
It takes time. i mean, i don't ever, as you can tell, i still
00:13:27.062 --> 00:13:28.264
I mean, i don't ever, as you can tell, i still shed the tears, but
00:13:28.330 --> 00:13:30.132
As you can tell, i still shed the tears, but they turn to an appreciation
00:13:30.199 --> 00:13:33.135
Shed the tears, but they turn to an appreciation for what god has done
00:13:33.202 --> 00:13:34.670
They turn to an appreciation for what god has done through that loss in my heart.
00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:36.939
For what god has done through that loss in my heart. i have a closer walk with him.
00:13:37.006 --> 00:13:39.842
Through that loss in my heart. i have a closer walk with him. i understand better.
00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:41.410
I have a closer walk with him. i understand better. i understand his ways better.

I understand better. i understand his ways better. so, there are some
00:13:43.712 --> 00:13:45.147
I understand his ways better. so, there are some wonderful things god will do
00:13:45.214 --> 00:13:46.982
So, there are some wonderful things god will do for us through the pain.
00:13:47.049 --> 00:13:48.851
Wonderful things god will do for us through the pain. todd: yes.
00:13:48.918 --> 00:13:49.985
For us through the pain. todd: yes. and because you asked what
00:13:50.052 --> 00:13:51.287
Todd: yes. and because you asked what instead of why,

Instead of why, he'll show you what. he'll give you that answer.

He'll show you what. he'll give you that answer. and it may be people

He'll give you that answer. and it may be people who are also walking through
00:13:56.425 --> 00:13:57.559
And it may be people who are also walking through the pain that don't have
00:13:57.626 --> 00:13:58.661
Who are also walking through the pain that don't have the hope of christ.
00:13:58.727 --> 00:13:59.828
The pain that don't have the hope of christ. you have that hope
00:13:59.895 --> 00:14:01.063
The hope of christ. you have that hope and you've sensed his comfort
00:14:01.130 --> 00:14:02.331
You have that hope and you've sensed his comfort and now that comfort
00:14:02.398 --> 00:14:03.365
And you've sensed his comfort and now that comfort is going to comfort others
00:14:03.432 --> 00:14:04.733
And now that comfort is going to comfort others that you come in contact with.
00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:06.735
James: you know,
00:14:06.835 --> 00:14:08.404
James: you know, robin would be so excited
00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:10.072
James: you know, robin would be so excited when she started having
00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:11.240
Robin would be so excited when she started having grandchildren because
00:14:11.307 --> 00:14:12.441
When she started having grandchildren because she was a church party mom
00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:13.909
Grandchildren because she was a church party mom for all the kids.
00:14:13.976 --> 00:14:14.977
She was a church party mom for all the kids. they all wanted to come
00:14:15.044 --> 00:14:16.045
For all the kids. they all wanted to come to robin's house and
00:14:16.111 --> 00:14:17.179
Be with her three children.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.514
Be with her three children. but, she just kept doing
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:19.915
Be with her three children. but, she just kept doing beautiful things for people.
00:14:19.982 --> 00:14:22.551
But, she just kept doing beautiful things for people. and as i think about it,
00:14:22.618 --> 00:14:23.953
Beautiful things for people. and as i think about it, i know betty and i both
00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.287
And as i think about it, i know betty and i both heard that we are enjoying
00:14:25.354 --> 00:14:26.822
I know betty and i both heard that we are enjoying your grandchildren, robin,
00:14:26.889 --> 00:14:28.590
Heard that we are enjoying your grandchildren, robin, and we know what all you
00:14:28.657 --> 00:14:29.658
Your grandchildren, robin, and we know what all you would have been doing
00:14:29.725 --> 00:14:30.693
And we know what all you would have been doing with them.
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.794
Would have been doing with them. but the lord has assured me
00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:33.162
With them. but the lord has assured me you are enjoying
00:14:33.228 --> 00:14:34.296
But the lord has assured me you are enjoying your grandchildren.
00:14:34.363 --> 00:14:36.131
You are enjoying your grandchildren. you don't lose
00:14:36.198 --> 00:14:37.166
Your grandchildren. you don't lose any of that joy.
00:14:37.232 --> 00:14:38.667
You don't lose any of that joy. you gain more joy
00:14:38.734 --> 00:14:39.902
Any of that joy. you gain more joy and more understanding.
00:14:39.969 --> 00:14:41.503
You gain more joy and more understanding. and your love and prayers,
00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:43.005
And more understanding. and your love and prayers, even for us from

And your love and prayers, even for us from the next kingdom mean so much.
00:14:44.606 --> 00:14:48.277
Even for us from the next kingdom mean so much. todd, i've got to ask you,
00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:50.546
The next kingdom mean so much. todd, i've got to ask you, when you focused in
00:14:50.612 --> 00:14:54.750
Todd, i've got to ask you, when you focused in on a challenge,
00:14:54.817 --> 00:14:57.386
When you focused in on a challenge, do you believe god
00:14:57.453 --> 00:15:01.423
On a challenge, do you believe god put this into your heart
00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:03.025
Do you believe god put this into your heart for a specific reason
00:15:03.092 --> 00:15:04.193
Put this into your heart for a specific reason that you write this book
00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:05.394
For a specific reason that you write this book right now?
00:15:05.461 --> 00:15:06.562
That you write this book right now? todd: yes, i believe so.
00:15:06.628 --> 00:15:07.696
Right now? todd: yes, i believe so. because i think people think
00:15:07.763 --> 00:15:08.831
Todd: yes, i believe so. because i think people think they're the only ones battling
00:15:08.897 --> 00:15:10.799
Because i think people think they're the only ones battling some of these questions,
00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:12.334
They're the only ones battling some of these questions, fears, and doubts.
00:15:12.401 --> 00:15:14.136
Some of these questions, fears, and doubts. we live in a world
00:15:14.203 --> 00:15:15.270
Fears, and doubts. we live in a world where most people are going
00:15:15.337 --> 00:15:16.705
We live in a world where most people are going to be confident,
00:15:16.772 --> 00:15:17.773
Where most people are going to be confident, they're going to act like
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.841
To be confident, they're going to act like they've got it together.
00:15:18.907 --> 00:15:20.009
They're going to act like they've got it together. and even in faith,
00:15:20.075 --> 00:15:21.577
They've got it together. and even in faith, i'm going to speak words
00:15:21.643 --> 00:15:22.711
And even in faith, i'm going to speak words of faith, and we often
00:15:22.778 --> 00:15:23.846
I'm going to speak words of faith, and we often don't say, yeah, but
00:15:23.912 --> 00:15:25.114
Of faith, and we often don't say, yeah, but with that comes questions
00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:26.782
I wanted to let our church,
00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:29.818
I wanted to let our church, christ fellowship,
00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:30.886
Christ fellowship, and i wanted people
00:15:30.953 --> 00:15:32.154
And i wanted people who read this to go,
00:15:32.221 --> 00:15:33.789
Who read this to go, "hey, there's a pastor
00:15:33.856 --> 00:15:35.090
"hey, there's a pastor that's talking about doubts
00:15:35.157 --> 00:15:36.392
That's talking about doubts and questioning god
00:15:36.458 --> 00:15:37.526
To preach on sunday,
00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:39.661
To preach on sunday, he's doubting on monday."
00:15:39.728 --> 00:15:41.163
To preach on sunday, he's doubting on monday." and how i walk through that
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:42.431
He's doubting on monday." and how i walk through that so that it normalized it.
00:15:42.498 --> 00:15:43.665
And how i walk through that so that it normalized it. because sometimes,
00:15:43.732 --> 00:15:44.767
So that it normalized it. because sometimes, they think that doubt
00:15:44.833 --> 00:15:45.801
Because sometimes, they think that doubt is the opposite of faith.
00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:47.036
They think that doubt is the opposite of faith. if i'm doubting god,
00:15:47.102 --> 00:15:48.170
Is the opposite of faith. if i'm doubting god, then i am a bad christian
00:15:48.237 --> 00:15:49.371
If i'm doubting god, then i am a bad christian and i don't have faith.
00:15:49.438 --> 00:15:50.439
Then i am a bad christian and i don't have faith. no, no, no.
00:15:50.506 --> 00:15:51.507
And i don't have faith. no, no, no. i don't think you could have
00:15:51.573 --> 00:15:52.908
No, no, no. i don't think you could have a growing faith without
00:15:52.975 --> 00:15:53.976
I don't think you could have a growing faith without some doubt.
00:15:54.043 --> 00:15:55.044
A growing faith without some doubt. you talk about
00:15:55.110 --> 00:15:56.111
Some doubt. you talk about stepping out in faith?
00:15:56.178 --> 00:15:57.179
You talk about stepping out in faith? well, i think most of the time
00:15:57.246 --> 00:15:58.847
Stepping out in faith? well, i think most of the time when you step out in faith,
00:15:58.914 --> 00:16:00.249
Well, i think most of the time when you step out in faith, you step out with
00:16:00.315 --> 00:16:01.316
When you step out in faith, you step out with a little bit of doubt
00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:02.451
You step out with a little bit of doubt because faith is not
00:16:02.518 --> 00:16:03.519
A little bit of doubt because faith is not knowing everything.
00:16:03.585 --> 00:16:04.586
Because faith is not knowing everything. you're stepping out
00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:05.654
Knowing everything. you're stepping out and trusting god
00:16:05.721 --> 00:16:06.722
You're stepping out and trusting god without all the answers.
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:07.790
And trusting god without all the answers. and so, allowing yourself
00:16:07.856 --> 00:16:08.857
Without all the answers. and so, allowing yourself to sit in that,
00:16:08.924 --> 00:16:09.925
And so, allowing yourself to sit in that, allowing yourself to ask god
00:16:09.992 --> 00:16:11.060
To sit in that, allowing yourself to ask god the hard questions.
00:16:11.126 --> 00:16:12.127
Allowing yourself to ask god the hard questions. i had yelling matches
00:16:12.194 --> 00:16:13.195
The hard questions. i had yelling matches with god in my prayer times
00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:14.630
I had yelling matches with god in my prayer times and just getting real
00:16:14.696 --> 00:16:16.832
Why does it seem like
00:16:18.267 --> 00:16:19.468
Why does it seem like my prayers are hitting
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:20.602
My prayers are hitting the ceilings
00:16:20.669 --> 00:16:21.804
The ceilings and bouncing down,
00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:22.871
And bouncing down, and i'm not seeing anything
00:16:22.938 --> 00:16:23.906
And i'm not seeing anything change month after month?
00:16:23.972 --> 00:16:25.274
Change month after month? but as long as i kept
00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:26.408
As long as i kept getting
00:16:27.543 --> 00:16:28.477
As long as i kept getting on my knees, as long as
00:16:28.544 --> 00:16:29.645
As long as i kept getting on my knees, as long as i kept calling out to god,
00:16:29.711 --> 00:16:31.180
On my knees, as long as i kept calling out to god, i felt his presence.
00:16:31.246 --> 00:16:32.581
I kept calling out to god, i felt his presence. i didn't always get
00:16:32.648 --> 00:16:33.682
I felt his presence. i didn't always get the answer, but i felt
00:16:33.749 --> 00:16:34.783
I didn't always get the answer, but i felt his presence and his comfort.
00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:36.018
The answer, but i felt his presence and his comfort. that's what built my strength
00:16:36.085 --> 00:16:37.252
His presence and his comfort. that's what built my strength and built my faith back.
00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:38.420
That's what built my strength and built my faith back. plus, being around some
00:16:38.487 --> 00:16:39.922
And built my faith back. plus, being around some other brothers in the lord
00:16:39.988 --> 00:16:41.390
Plus, being around some other brothers in the lord who wanted to pray
00:16:41.457 --> 00:16:42.591
Other brothers in the lord who wanted to pray when i couldn't pray anymore.
00:16:42.658 --> 00:16:43.826

Before you took your first innocent breath in this temporary home,
00:23:13.348 --> 00:23:15.217
Your first innocent breath in this temporary home, and before the news
00:23:15.283 --> 00:23:16.518
In this temporary home, and before the news of your coming
00:23:16.585 --> 00:23:17.752
And before the news of your coming was ever known,
00:23:17.819 --> 00:23:19.054
Of your coming was ever known, before you were formed,
00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:20.121
Was ever known, before you were formed, i knew you.
00:23:20.188 --> 00:23:21.423

I knew you. i knew all about you and i loved you.
00:23:22.691 --> 00:23:23.859
I knew all about you and i loved you. you were always my idea.
00:23:23.925 --> 00:23:25.026
And i loved you. you were always my idea. when i considered
00:23:25.093 --> 00:23:26.294
You were always my idea. when i considered the uniqueness you would bring
00:23:26.361 --> 00:23:27.429
When i considered the uniqueness you would bring and what it would offer
00:23:27.496 --> 00:23:28.663
The uniqueness you would bring and what it would offer my world,
00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:29.865
And what it would offer my world, i made a choice
00:23:29.931 --> 00:23:31.199
My world, i made a choice to orchestrate your existence.
00:23:31.266 --> 00:23:33.001
I made a choice to orchestrate your existence. so i spoke,
00:23:33.068 --> 00:23:34.669
To orchestrate your existence. so i spoke, "let there be you."
00:23:34.736 --> 00:23:36.271
So i spoke, "let there be you." and i'm happy i did.
00:23:36.338 --> 00:23:38.340
"let there be you." and i'm happy i did. every feature and shape,
00:23:38.406 --> 00:23:40.375
And i'm happy i did. every feature and shape, the precise way
00:23:40.442 --> 00:23:41.676
Every feature and shape, the precise way your face creases
00:23:41.743 --> 00:23:42.944
The precise way your face creases when you smile,
00:23:43.011 --> 00:23:44.279
Your face creases when you smile, oh how i love that smile!
00:23:44.346 --> 00:23:45.514
When you smile, oh how i love that smile! the sound of your laugh
00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:46.748
Oh how i love that smile! the sound of your laugh and the passions you pursue,
00:23:46.815 --> 00:23:48.049
The sound of your laugh and the passions you pursue, those aren't quirks,
00:23:48.116 --> 00:23:49.317
And the passions you pursue, those aren't quirks, they're qualities --
00:23:49.384 --> 00:23:50.752
Those aren't quirks, they're qualities -- qualities i've crafted
00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:52.020
They're qualities -- qualities i've crafted to make you...
00:23:52.087 --> 00:23:53.321
Qualities i've crafted to make you... you.
00:23:53.388 --> 00:23:54.723
To make you... you. but what i love the most,
00:23:54.789 --> 00:23:56.591
You. but what i love the most, when i made
00:23:56.658 --> 00:23:57.826
But what i love the most, when i made that consequential choice
00:23:57.893 --> 00:23:59.094
When i made that consequential choice to bring you to life,
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.328
That consequential choice to bring you to life, is far more
00:24:00.395 --> 00:24:01.596
To bring you to life, is far more than anything you can do;
00:24:01.663 --> 00:24:02.764
Is far more than anything you can do; it's the sound of your voice.
00:24:02.831 --> 00:24:04.900
Than anything you can do; it's the sound of your voice. every word you confide,
00:24:04.966 --> 00:24:06.134
It's the sound of your voice. every word you confide, every struggle you share,
00:24:06.201 --> 00:24:07.402
Every word you confide, every struggle you share, every mess you confess,
00:24:07.469 --> 00:24:09.004
Every struggle you share, every mess you confess, i look forward
00:24:09.070 --> 00:24:10.338
Every mess you confess, i look forward to those precious,
00:24:10.405 --> 00:24:11.640
I look forward to those precious, tender moments
00:24:11.706 --> 00:24:12.974
To those precious, tender moments when our hearts connect.
00:24:13.041 --> 00:24:14.809
Tender moments when our hearts connect. my child, i love you.
00:24:14.876 --> 00:24:16.912
When our hearts connect. my child, i love you. and all the words
00:24:16.978 --> 00:24:18.179
My child, i love you. and all the words in a million love letters
00:24:18.246 --> 00:24:19.381
And all the words in a million love letters can't adequately express
00:24:19.447 --> 00:24:20.782
What that means.
00:24:20.882 --> 00:24:22.083
What that means. you'll find out more in time.
00:24:22.150 --> 00:24:23.318
What that means. you'll find out more in time. but for now,
00:24:23.385 --> 00:24:24.553
You'll find out more in time. but for now, know that there is nothing
00:24:24.619 --> 00:24:25.754
But for now, know that there is nothing that you can do
00:24:25.820 --> 00:24:27.222
Know that there is nothing that you can do to change my mind.
00:24:27.289 --> 00:24:28.490
That you can do to change my mind. i love you
00:24:28.557 --> 00:24:29.658
To change my mind. i love you and i'm so glad
00:24:29.724 --> 00:24:30.859
You're here with me.
00:24:30.959 --> 00:24:32.127
You're here with me. love, your father, god.
00:24:32.193 --> 00:24:35.730
You're here with me. love, your father, god. hmm.
00:24:35.797 --> 00:24:37.332
Love, your father, god. hmm. friend, i know
00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:38.733
Hmm. friend, i know there is so much in this world
00:24:38.800 --> 00:24:39.901
Friend, i know there is so much in this world that can make you feel unloved
00:24:39.968 --> 00:24:41.703
There is so much in this world that can make you feel unloved the words and actions
00:24:41.770 --> 00:24:43.071
That can make you feel unloved the words and actions of people,
00:24:43.138 --> 00:24:44.339
The words and actions of people, your own past regrets
00:24:44.406 --> 00:24:45.607
Of people, your own past regrets and present struggles,
00:24:45.674 --> 00:24:46.775
Your own past regrets and present struggles, just to name a few.
00:24:46.841 --> 00:24:48.043
And present struggles, just to name a few. but you must know
00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:49.277
Just to name a few. but you must know that unloved feeling,
00:24:49.344 --> 00:24:51.246
But you must know that unloved feeling, it isn't true.
00:24:51.313 --> 00:24:52.881
That unloved feeling, it isn't true. the bible says
00:24:52.948 --> 00:24:54.049
It isn't true. the bible says in ephesians 1:4
00:24:54.115 --> 00:24:55.183
The bible says in ephesians 1:4 that even before
00:24:55.250 --> 00:24:56.484
In ephesians 1:4 that even before god made the world,
00:24:56.551 --> 00:24:57.719
That even before god made the world, he loved you and chose you,
00:24:57.786 --> 00:24:59.154
God made the world, he loved you and chose you, in christ,
00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.555
He loved you and chose you, in christ, to be faultless in his eyes.
00:25:00.622 --> 00:25:02.490
In christ, to be faultless in his eyes. think about that!
00:25:02.557 --> 00:25:04.059
To be faultless in his eyes. think about that! nothing about you
00:25:04.125 --> 00:25:05.527
Think about that! nothing about you surprises god.
00:25:05.594 --> 00:25:06.795
Nothing about you surprises god. much of it was designed by him
00:25:06.861 --> 00:25:08.229
Surprises god. much of it was designed by him in the first place.
00:25:08.296 --> 00:25:09.397
Much of it was designed by him in the first place. but even the things
00:25:09.464 --> 00:25:10.565
In the first place. but even the things that weren't,
00:25:10.632 --> 00:25:11.866
But even the things that weren't, he saw those things too,
00:25:11.933 --> 00:25:13.969
That weren't, he saw those things too, and he still decided
00:25:14.035 --> 00:25:15.170
He saw those things too, and he still decided to orchestrate
00:25:15.236 --> 00:25:16.471
And he still decided to orchestrate your existence.
00:25:16.538 --> 00:25:17.772

Your existence. knowing all about you, he still said,
00:25:19.207 --> 00:25:20.442
Knowing all about you, he still said, "let there be you."
00:25:20.508 --> 00:25:22.310
He still said, "let there be you." get this:
00:25:22.377 --> 00:25:23.878
"let there be you." get this: the one who knew you first,
00:25:23.945 --> 00:25:26.414
