Welcome back, we are
going to wrap this up by talking
00:00:14.49\00:00:17.92
to both David and Brian.
00:00:17.96\00:00:19.92
The reason I want to do
that is because both of these
00:00:19.96\00:00:22.75
men have different journeys
but they are working in the
00:00:22.78\00:00:25.54
same ministry with
the same information.
00:00:25.58\00:00:27.52
I want to clarify one
thing that happened on the last
00:00:27.55\00:00:30.34
segment is that at the
end of David's mother's life
00:00:30.37\00:00:35.06
she went into assisted living
so that is why you weren't
00:00:35.10\00:00:39.17
there when she
passed. - that's right she had
00:00:39.20\00:00:42.11
progressed beyond my
ability to care for her.
00:00:42.15\00:00:44.99
I also said another thing
that I thought was funny that
00:00:45.02\00:00:48.68
you had said during the
break is that I'm glad you never
00:00:48.71\00:00:52.33
said no, what did you say to me?
00:00:52.37\00:00:54.24
I said no all time, usually
whenever I'm challenged on the
00:00:54.28\00:01:00.53
issue that I needed to
either let go of or change,
00:01:00.56\00:01:02.51
my immediate
reaction was no, wait.
00:01:02.55\00:01:06.92
Yes, and so I chose it
reluctantly but the truth will
00:01:06.96\00:01:14.24
set you free and the more I
grabbed onto the truth the less
00:01:14.27\00:01:17.91
I needed what
was holding me back.
00:01:17.95\00:01:20.33
So I want to end
with a couple things.
00:01:20.37\00:01:22.68
Brian I'm going to ask you
if you have anything you would
00:01:22.72\00:01:26.48
like to say and then do you
have anything you would like
00:01:26.52\00:01:30.25
to say directly
to those at home?
00:01:30.28\00:01:32.67
I want to give you not
much time, just a minute
00:01:32.70\00:01:36.58
or so to say that.
00:01:36.61\00:01:38.12
The big thing is hope,
you know. I didn't have hope.
00:01:38.16\00:01:42.02
But when I've seen these people
use these tools and there's
00:01:42.06\00:01:47.80
hope where there
wasn't hope before.
00:01:47.83\00:01:49.47
There are tools that you
can use that are pretty simple.
00:01:49.50\00:01:53.33
Now don't get me wrong
they are not easy, they are not
00:01:53.37\00:01:56.51
easy but they are simple
enough you can understand and
00:01:56.54\00:01:59.65
take them one step at a time.
00:01:59.69\00:02:01.38
Okay say some of the
tools again so we just
00:02:01.42\00:02:03.24
have it in our heads.
00:02:03.27\00:02:04.73
Three aspects of trust.
You can learn those 3 aspects
00:02:04.77\00:02:07.79
of trust and as you learn
those aspects of trust you can
00:02:07.83\00:02:11.09
know who to trust and you
can know what you need to do.
00:02:11.12\00:02:14.35
Because it's not
everybody. - no you cannot trust
00:02:14.38\00:02:16.65
everybody, the first
thing I teach people is that you
00:02:16.69\00:02:18.90
can't trust everybody but
you can look in your life and
00:02:18.94\00:02:21.49
find somebody who has
those three aspects of trust.
00:02:21.53\00:02:24.23
Do they get the job
done? Do they have your best
00:02:24.26\00:02:26.93
interest in mind?
And that is important.
00:02:26.97\00:02:28.55
And do they have integrity?
That's what it's all about.
00:02:28.59\00:02:33.40
When you find some of those you
just get blessed, just blessed.
00:02:33.43\00:02:36.62
Okay so now I want to ask
you is there anything you need
00:02:36.66\00:02:39.54
to say before we wind
up and to actually say to
00:02:39.57\00:02:43.37
whoever is out
there, because your journey
00:02:43.40\00:02:45.21
was intense too.
00:02:45.25\00:02:46.72
It was intense and I guess
the biggest thing I could say
00:02:46.76\00:02:51.33
is don't be intimidated
by the idea of establishing a
00:02:51.37\00:02:55.77
relationship with God, it
seems hard to grasp the idea
00:02:55.81\00:03:00.18
at first, because He's
not someone you can see,
00:03:00.22\00:03:02.21
He is not someone whose
voice you hear in your ear,
00:03:02.25\00:03:04.21
but you can see
links to God through people
00:03:04.24\00:03:07.45
who follow biblical principles.
00:03:07.49\00:03:09.22
If you surround yourself
with people who follow the Lord
00:03:09.25\00:03:11.93
and truly desire your
happiness and success, then
00:03:11.97\00:03:14.96
you are going to find
it much easier to start
00:03:14.99\00:03:17.95
doing those things yourself.
00:03:17.98\00:03:19.42
It is incredible to me the
difference of when you start
00:03:19.45\00:03:23.25
looking at people that
really desire your recovery,
00:03:23.29\00:03:27.02
your success that you can
tell they have put their selves
00:03:27.06\00:03:30.31
aside for a moment and are
really caring for your heart.
00:03:30.35\00:03:33.21
It really matters to them
what you are feeling right now.
00:03:33.25\00:03:36.08
That is amazing,
amazing. I love that.
00:03:36.11\00:03:40.59
Okay is there anything
else? - I just want to thank you
00:03:40.63\00:03:43.96
for the ministry you have
had over the last 10 years.
00:03:44.00\00:03:47.30
You know my son is 23
really remembered you from
00:03:47.34\00:03:51.18
10 years ago and just
really I want to thank you for
00:03:51.21\00:03:54.39
him and for the part that
you have played in his life.
00:03:54.43\00:03:57.58
Make sure you tell him
Hi for me. - I will do.
00:03:57.61\00:03:59.00
I wanted to say that as we,
as we bring this to a close,
00:03:59.04\00:04:04.19
and as we look at the trust
issue and it really is that
00:04:04.23\00:04:09.03
trust is the biggest
thing, in my own acting out I've
00:04:09.07\00:04:13.80
damaged that and the people that
have sometime been in my life in
00:04:13.84\00:04:17.46
the past and have
damaged it for me.
00:04:17.49\00:04:19.21
I chose relationships that
are not trustworthy, but one
00:04:19.24\00:04:22.50
of the first things in
recovery is to reestablish all
00:04:22.54\00:04:25.66
that and come to a place
where I start looking around
00:04:25.70\00:04:29.21
and finding those people in
my life that are trustworthy,
00:04:29.25\00:04:32.73
that have integrity,
that really do care about what
00:04:32.77\00:04:36.09
happens to me. You know I
had to learn to read and all
00:04:36.13\00:04:38.94
that stuff and you have
heard some of the things that
00:04:38.98\00:04:41.48
David went through and
you heard what Brian talked
00:04:41.51\00:04:43.98
about with his head injury.
00:04:44.01\00:04:45.41
There are people everywhere
and they are incredible
00:04:45.44\00:04:47.73
folks, so look
around and find them.
00:04:47.76\00:04:49.90
Until next week always
remember that God is crazy about
00:04:49.93\00:04:52.93
you and me too.
Goodbye and God bless!
00:04:52.97\00:04:55.55
