The following program
discusses sensitive issues
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.26
related to addictive behavior.
00:00:03.30\00:00:04.93
Parents are
cautioned that some material
00:00:04.97\00:00:06.74
may be too candid
for younger children.
00:00:06.77\00:00:08.90
As we look back at this season,
00:00:15.01\00:00:16.88
I am so glad that perhaps
that the last story moved us,
00:00:16.91\00:00:22.05
or transitioned us
00:00:22.08\00:00:23.42
because Don and
Janelle are recovering,
00:00:23.45\00:00:27.42
recovered and now have actively
00:00:27.46\00:00:29.66
leapt into
helping others to recover.
00:00:29.69\00:00:31.79
And that's what
you're trying to foster
00:00:31.83\00:00:33.16
at this point in your
life and in your career.
00:00:33.19\00:00:35.10
You've been mentored.
00:00:35.13\00:00:36.46
Now you're self actualizing,
00:00:36.50\00:00:38.80
you're actually putting
tools and mechanisms in place,
00:00:38.83\00:00:41.70
so that what you do,
00:00:41.74\00:00:43.44
you run all over the world
but you can't keep doing that.
00:00:43.47\00:00:46.17
But now you're
getting other people to run
00:00:46.21\00:00:47.54
and giving them the
tools that they required.
00:00:47.58\00:00:48.91
And they're so good. Yeah.
00:00:48.94\00:00:50.28
Better out there than I am.
00:00:50.31\00:00:51.65
So it's even being able to say
00:00:51.68\00:00:53.01
and I'm gonna show you
00:00:53.05\00:00:54.38
just some of the
tools we're using.
00:00:54.42\00:00:55.88
Definitely
Celebrating Life in Recovery
00:00:55.92\00:00:58.65
and what we do here.
00:00:58.69\00:01:00.02
But we're getting tools
on, here is a 14 week program,
00:01:00.06\00:01:04.13
you can do it a home Bible,
00:01:04.16\00:01:05.69
you could do it at a church,
00:01:05.73\00:01:07.06
you could do it at a
prison, we have whatever.
00:01:07.10\00:01:08.93
But here is the tool
00:01:08.96\00:01:10.30
and we do
training around that tool.
00:01:10.33\00:01:12.03
If you're working
with somebody in jail,
00:01:12.07\00:01:15.04
here are some
things that you can use
00:01:15.07\00:01:16.91
for somebody in jail.
00:01:16.94\00:01:18.47
Every week you can take
them through a foundational work
00:01:18.51\00:01:21.28
from Steps to
Christ with questions
00:01:21.31\00:01:23.75
and all that kind of stuff.
00:01:23.78\00:01:25.11
And if you don't
know how to do it,
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.58
ask me to put something online
00:01:26.61\00:01:28.35
and we will drop something on.
00:01:28.38\00:01:30.09
We'll do a live
question and answer
00:01:30.12\00:01:32.02
and we'll figure
out what do you need,
00:01:32.05\00:01:34.46
and how do we get that to you.
00:01:34.49\00:01:35.89
Because our whole thing
for the next little while
00:01:35.92\00:01:38.69
is to make sure that
you are strong enough
00:01:38.73\00:01:41.33
that you could go out
00:01:41.36\00:01:42.70
and change the world around you.
00:01:42.73\00:01:44.07
And if we could
that in every church
00:01:44.10\00:01:45.87
and my denomination
alone 78,000 churches
00:01:45.90\00:01:48.60
if two or three
people actually get equipped.
00:01:48.64\00:01:52.11
How fun would
that be? Yeah, yeah.
00:01:52.14\00:01:54.21
We really change our
neighbor and plus it gives,
00:01:54.24\00:01:56.58
it would get the
church out of the building
00:01:56.61\00:01:58.31
and into the
street where the needs are
00:01:58.35\00:02:00.42
and will enable us to
really become relevant to those
00:02:00.45\00:02:05.85
who surround the churches
that we attend every week.
00:02:05.89\00:02:07.86
And we could actually
do our own healing too,
00:02:07.89\00:02:09.99
because when you speak healing,
00:02:10.03\00:02:11.56
you kind of check
yourself. Oh, you do.
00:02:11.59\00:02:13.80
So you're doing that work
too which is absolutely amazing.
00:02:13.83\00:02:16.90
Yeah, yeah, so this my
dear lady is going to be
00:02:16.93\00:02:19.87
a wonderful season,
a very powerful season,
00:02:19.90\00:02:22.47
a season that really takes
us again to the very depths
00:02:22.50\00:02:25.44
and then bring us back
and says Jesus can do it all.
00:02:25.47\00:02:29.14
He could do anything but fail.
00:02:29.18\00:02:31.28
And he wants to do it all. Yeah.
00:02:31.31\00:02:33.31
So I want to just say,
00:02:33.35\00:02:34.68
I am so excited
about this season,
00:02:34.72\00:02:36.52
I am so excited
about this upcoming year
00:02:36.55\00:02:39.49
with the mentoring
the new mentoring thing.
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.59
Go to the website check it out.
00:02:41.62\00:02:43.86
Make sure that if
you need something
00:02:43.89\00:02:45.66
just get back to us and ask
00:02:45.69\00:02:47.76
and till then, always remember
00:02:47.80\00:02:49.20
that God is crazy
about you, me too.
00:02:49.23\00:02:51.33
So, you probably
thought I was on drugs
00:03:02.14\00:03:03.51
when you saw me, didn't you?
00:03:03.55\00:03:04.95
I said, honestly yeah.
00:03:04.98\00:03:06.31
And she said I used to do drugs,
00:03:06.35\00:03:07.82
but now I am trying to get sober
00:03:07.85\00:03:09.78
and she was
having some issues but...
00:03:09.82\00:03:12.05
That's incredible.
00:03:12.09\00:03:13.42
I just want to
say, you know what,
00:03:13.46\00:03:14.79
thank you so much for sharing
00:03:14.82\00:03:16.16
and you know for
anybody looking is even
00:03:16.19\00:03:18.73
the demoniac in the Bible,
00:03:18.76\00:03:20.10
there was a crazy
guy filled with demons
00:03:20.13\00:03:22.33
and God said go tell someone
what I've done in your life,
00:03:22.36\00:03:25.30
so that you can
help someone else.
00:03:25.33\00:03:26.67
That's our gig,
that's our healing,
00:03:26.70\00:03:28.50
that's how we're gonna
really find who we are,
00:03:28.54\00:03:30.77
and be in our own skin.
00:03:30.81\00:03:33.11
You know, until next
time, always remember that
00:03:33.14\00:03:35.08
God is crazy
about you and me too.
00:03:35.11\00:03:37.21
God bless.
00:03:37.25\00:03:38.58
