>> So I wanna ask you a
00:00:01.53\00:00:02.30
question: what would you
00:00:02.30\00:00:03.83
attempt if you knew that you
00:00:03.83\00:00:05.33
could not fail?
00:00:05.33\00:00:06.77
>> Would you open that
00:00:06.77\00:00:07.84
business you always wanted to
00:00:07.84\00:00:09.30
start, but was afraid it
00:00:09.30\00:00:11.34
wouldn't get off the ground?
00:00:11.34\00:00:12.81
>> Or would you write that
00:00:12.81\00:00:13.61
book that you're always
00:00:13.61\00:00:14.28
talking about?
00:00:14.28\00:00:15.44
You know, "I'm gonna write"
00:00:15.44\00:00:16.48
"that book one day."
00:00:16.48\00:00:17.91
>> The toughest part of any
00:00:17.91\00:00:19.65
achievement is overcoming
00:00:19.65\00:00:21.42
your fear.
00:00:21.42\00:00:22.98
If I knew beyond the shadow
00:00:22.98\00:00:24.89
of a doubt I could not fail,
00:00:24.89\00:00:26.96
I would fly.
00:00:26.96\00:00:28.59
>> If I knew beyond a shadow
00:00:28.59\00:00:29.66
of a doubt I could not fail, I
00:00:29.66\00:00:31.93
know I would fly as well, but
00:00:31.93\00:00:33.43
don't tell our daughters that
00:00:33.43\00:00:34.60
because I tell them they can
00:00:34.60\00:00:35.56
do anything they wanna do
00:00:35.56\00:00:37.10
except go sky diving.
00:00:37.10\00:00:38.90
>> So why are you do afraid of
00:00:38.90\00:00:40.54
sky diving?
00:00:40.54\00:00:41.84
>> We'll talk about that later
00:00:41.84\00:00:42.77
in the program.
00:00:42.77\00:00:44.31
>> OK, well, I want to tell
00:00:44.31\00:00:47.21
you about a crazy Canadian
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.24
blogger by the name of
00:00:49.24\00:00:50.85
Kyle McDonald who attempted
00:00:50.85\00:00:52.45
something audacious.
00:00:52.45\00:00:54.42
[Mike] One day, Kyle McDonald,
00:00:54.42\00:00:55.98
he looked down on his desk
00:00:55.98\00:00:57.02
and what did he see?
00:00:57.02\00:00:58.52
A red paperclip and he thought
00:00:58.52\00:00:59.82
to himself,
00:00:59.82\00:01:00.82
"I remember this game"
00:01:00.82\00:01:01.99
"called Bigger and Better"
00:01:01.99\00:01:04.23
"where you trade something"
00:01:04.23\00:01:05.69
"that is small for something"
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.13
"bigger and better and then"
00:01:07.13\00:01:08.36
"you repeat."
00:01:08.36\00:01:09.80
>> He said to himself,
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.40
"I wonder what would happen"
00:01:11.40\00:01:12.93
"if I took this red paperclip"
00:01:12.93\00:01:15.77
"and tried to trade it."
00:01:15.77\00:01:17.84
"What could I end up with"
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.67
"after 12 months of trading?"
00:01:19.67\00:01:22.08
>> So what did he have
00:01:22.08\00:01:23.11
to lose?
00:01:23.11\00:01:24.25
Nothing, a red paperclip?
00:01:24.25\00:01:25.45
That's nothing.
00:01:25.45\00:01:26.48
He knew he could not fail.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.32
So he posted this picture of a
00:01:28.32\00:01:31.32
red paperclip on a website
00:01:31.32\00:01:33.42
called Craig's List and two
00:01:33.42\00:01:36.19
girls offered him a pen shaped
00:01:36.19\00:01:38.43
like a fish which was bigger
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.33
and better than his dinky
00:01:40.33\00:01:41.43
little red paperclip so he
00:01:41.43\00:01:43.03
gladly took it.
00:01:43.03\00:01:44.83
>> Next, someone offered him a
00:01:44.83\00:01:46.60
doorknob with a crazy face on
00:01:46.60\00:01:48.47
it in exchange for the
00:01:48.47\00:01:49.77
fish pen.
00:01:49.77\00:01:51.31
Then he received a camping
00:01:51.31\00:01:53.11
stove for the doorknob.
00:01:53.11\00:01:54.71
>> After each successive
00:01:54.71\00:01:56.38
trade, Kyle McDonald received
00:01:56.38\00:01:58.51
something bigger and better
00:01:58.51\00:02:00.15
than what he had before.
00:02:00.15\00:02:01.92
>> Some items he received and
00:02:01.92\00:02:04.09
traded where a snowmobile,
00:02:04.09\00:02:06.12
a trip for two to the Rockies,
00:02:06.12\00:02:08.16
a moving truck, and one year's
00:02:08.16\00:02:11.16
free rent in someone's house in
00:02:11.16\00:02:13.26
Phoenix, Arizona.
00:02:13.26\00:02:14.63
>> Ah, that's not bad, eh?
00:02:14.63\00:02:15.83
I think I would be really
00:02:15.83\00:02:16.87
happy with that.
00:02:16.87\00:02:18.23
I mean, who wouldn't be happy
00:02:18.23\00:02:20.10
with Phoenix, Arizona for one
00:02:20.10\00:02:22.04
year, especially if
00:02:22.04\00:02:22.87
you're Canadian.
00:02:22.87\00:02:23.81
Phoenix is nice and warm in
00:02:23.81\00:02:25.34
the winter.
00:02:25.34\00:02:26.47
>> Mm hmm, but Kyle was only
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.38
nine months into this.
00:02:28.38\00:02:30.45
Nine months before he had
00:02:30.45\00:02:32.25
started with one red paperclip
00:02:32.25\00:02:34.25
and now he had one year's free
00:02:34.25\00:02:36.72
rent in someone's house in
00:02:36.72\00:02:38.05
Phoenix, Arizona.
00:02:38.05\00:02:39.99
>> But that wasn't good enough
00:02:39.99\00:02:40.99
for Kyle McDonald.
00:02:40.99\00:02:42.12
He wanted to see how much
00:02:42.12\00:02:43.26
bigger and better
00:02:43.26\00:02:44.26
it could get.
00:02:44.26\00:02:45.79
>> Finally, after 14 online
00:02:45.79\00:02:48.13
trades over the course of a
00:02:48.13\00:02:49.63
year, he ended up with a
00:02:49.63\00:02:51.80
two-story farmhouse in
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.04
Kipling, Saskatchewan.
00:02:54.04\00:02:55.47
[Mike] Wow, how's that
00:02:55.47\00:02:56.44
for success?
00:02:56.44\00:02:57.04
Playing a game of Bigger and
00:02:57.11\00:02:58.54
Better starting with a little
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.18
red paperclip and ending up
00:03:00.18\00:03:02.04
with a two-story farmhouse,
00:03:02.04\00:03:03.48
which he turned into a very
00:03:03.48\00:03:04.98
successful little restaurant
00:03:04.98\00:03:06.61
called The Red Paperclip
00:03:06.61\00:03:08.25
Cottage Cafe.
00:03:08.25\00:03:10.22
>> What an amazing story of
00:03:10.22\00:03:11.85
faith and ingenuity.
00:03:11.85\00:03:13.79
Starting with a red paperclip
00:03:13.79\00:03:15.79
and ending up with a two-story
00:03:15.79\00:03:18.09
farm house in one year.
00:03:18.09\00:03:20.76
>> So what would you attempt
00:03:20.76\00:03:22.43
if you knew that you could
00:03:22.43\00:03:23.16
not fail?
00:03:23.16\00:03:24.57
Let's take this into the realm
00:03:24.57\00:03:26.94
of faith in God and trusting
00:03:26.94\00:03:28.84
His promises.
00:03:28.84\00:03:30.57
>> What would you attempt for
00:03:30.57\00:03:32.04
God if you knew you would
00:03:32.04\00:03:33.78
not fail?
00:03:33.78\00:03:35.48
The Bible assures us:
00:03:35.48\00:03:37.15
[Mike] So stick with us as we
00:03:40.32\00:03:42.12
explore how you can conquer
00:03:42.12\00:03:44.32
your limitations and do what
00:03:44.32\00:03:47.52
you thought was impossible.
00:03:47.52\00:03:50.39
中
00:03:50.39\00:04:25.99
[ominous music]
00:04:27.30\00:04:36.60
>> So I used to have a serious
00:04:38.24\00:04:39.61
fear of heights.
00:04:39.61\00:04:40.94
>> And that's why you don't
00:04:40.94\00:04:41.88
want our daughters to go
00:04:41.88\00:04:42.84
sky diving.
00:04:42.84\00:04:43.51
>> Correct.
00:04:43.51\00:04:44.58
Let me ask you a question.
00:04:44.58\00:04:46.05
Are any of you afraid
00:04:46.05\00:04:47.15
of heights?
00:04:47.15\00:04:48.32
This was once my greatest fear.
00:04:48.32\00:04:49.95
When I was 25 years old, my--
00:04:49.95\00:04:52.12
one of my older brothers, his
00:04:52.12\00:04:53.76
name was Pete, who was 32 at
00:04:53.76\00:04:55.22
the time, he was working in
00:04:55.22\00:04:56.96
Nelson, British Columbia on
00:04:56.96\00:04:59.23
the night shift and it was for
00:04:59.23\00:05:01.23
a company called Cominco.
00:05:01.23\00:05:02.86
It was extremely cold outside.
00:05:02.86\00:05:05.03
The wind was blowing and the
00:05:05.03\00:05:06.74
snow was filling the air.
00:05:06.74\00:05:09.37
He was bundled up and he was
00:05:09.37\00:05:11.27
working more than fifty feet
00:05:11.27\00:05:13.31
in the air, standing on a few
00:05:13.31\00:05:15.84
wooden boards that were
00:05:15.84\00:05:17.45
sheathed in black ice.
00:05:17.45\00:05:19.48
He had a harness, a safety
00:05:19.48\00:05:21.32
belt around his waist, but he
00:05:21.32\00:05:24.55
had to move to the next work
00:05:24.55\00:05:27.42
station and in order to do so
00:05:27.42\00:05:29.96
he would have to unhook his
00:05:29.96\00:05:31.79
safety belt, the clips, and
00:05:31.79\00:05:33.80
then he would reconnect them
00:05:33.80\00:05:35.90
to the next workstation.
00:05:35.90\00:05:38.27
And so he unhooked the clips
00:05:38.27\00:05:39.73
and then he inched his way
00:05:39.73\00:05:41.60
along that ice-covered
00:05:41.60\00:05:43.74
scaffolding and the snow blew
00:05:43.74\00:05:46.27
around his head and wind beat
00:05:46.27\00:05:48.21
against his back and just as
00:05:48.21\00:05:50.98
he was about to reconnect
00:05:50.98\00:05:52.75
himself, his foot slipped from
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.88
underneath him and he
00:05:54.88\00:05:56.58
plummeted to the ground,
00:05:56.58\00:05:58.75
slamming into some solid metal
00:05:58.75\00:06:01.02
pipes and beams as he fell.
00:06:01.02\00:06:03.93
As his safety helmet was
00:06:03.93\00:06:06.29
thrown from his head, he hit
00:06:06.29\00:06:08.56
his head on a number of pipes,
00:06:08.56\00:06:10.30
steel pipes, as he was falling
00:06:10.30\00:06:11.67
down and he landed on the
00:06:11.67\00:06:12.77
ground and there was a young
00:06:12.77\00:06:14.57
man there and he was a vibrant
00:06:14.57\00:06:16.00
Christian and he ran to his
00:06:16.00\00:06:17.57
side and he was the first man
00:06:17.57\00:06:20.01
on the spot.
00:06:20.01\00:06:21.94
And he looked at my brother,
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.31
Pete's, injuries and he could
00:06:23.31\00:06:25.15
see that he was so badly
00:06:25.15\00:06:27.82
injured and he called for
00:06:27.82\00:06:29.58
help and as some of the other
00:06:29.58\00:06:30.99
guys contacted the medical
00:06:30.99\00:06:33.09
team, he came back to the site
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.29
and this Christian young man,
00:06:36.29\00:06:37.56
he returned to my brother's
00:06:37.56\00:06:39.06
side and he began to talk to
00:06:39.06\00:06:40.53
him about Jesus.
00:06:40.53\00:06:42.96
He asked my brother, Pete, if
00:06:42.96\00:06:44.20
he knew who Jesus was and Pete
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.23
said, "yes," and then he asked
00:06:46.23\00:06:48.67
Pete if he was saved and my
00:06:48.67\00:06:50.67
brother, Pete, said
00:06:50.67\00:06:51.67
he wanted to be.
00:06:51.67\00:06:53.74
And so the young man asked him
00:06:53.74\00:06:56.21
if he could pray for my brother.
00:06:56.21\00:06:58.35
And so Pete said that, "Yeah,"
00:06:58.35\00:07:01.15
"that would be OK."
00:07:01.15\00:07:02.58
And so the guy started praying
00:07:02.58\00:07:04.39
for my brother and my brother
00:07:04.39\00:07:06.55
accepted Jesus as his personal
00:07:06.55\00:07:09.22
saviour that evening.
00:07:09.22\00:07:12.39
He was 32 years old
00:07:12.39\00:07:15.13
and he died shortly after
00:07:15.13\00:07:18.23
that prayer.
00:07:18.23\00:07:20.34
I became extremely
00:07:20.34\00:07:22.04
afraid of heights.
00:07:22.04\00:07:24.31
Before I was never afraid of
00:07:24.31\00:07:26.91
heights, but after my
00:07:26.91\00:07:29.08
brother's death, it kind of
00:07:29.08\00:07:30.61
sparked this serious
00:07:30.61\00:07:32.75
fear of heights.
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.18
>> Mm hmm, oh, that really does
00:07:34.18\00:07:35.48
make sense now.
00:07:35.48\00:07:37.35
>> But the story of my fear of
00:07:37.35\00:07:39.49
heights doesn't end there.
00:07:39.49\00:07:42.12
A friend of mine found out
00:07:42.12\00:07:43.83
about my fear and he told me
00:07:43.83\00:07:45.93
that we needed to go rock
00:07:45.93\00:07:47.46
climbing together.
00:07:47.46\00:07:49.20
And I wasn't so sure, but rock
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.40
climbing was his specialty
00:07:51.40\00:07:53.50
so I trusted him.
00:07:53.50\00:07:55.37
It was just he and myself and
00:07:55.37\00:07:58.54
the photos that he took
00:07:58.54\00:08:00.41
revealed not how I was
00:08:00.41\00:08:02.24
feeling inside.
00:08:02.24\00:08:03.88
In fact, for him to get me to
00:08:03.88\00:08:06.72
a spot just on the edge of
00:08:06.72\00:08:08.85
the cliff took him more than
00:08:08.85\00:08:11.15
an hour and I would just stand
00:08:11.15\00:08:13.39
there with my feet just
00:08:13.39\00:08:15.12
planted to the ground and I
00:08:15.12\00:08:17.33
had this harness around my
00:08:17.33\00:08:18.86
waist and, Spencer, the name
00:08:18.86\00:08:20.23
of my friend, he would--
00:08:20.23\00:08:22.63
he knew that I was so scared
00:08:22.63\00:08:24.83
and to try and calm me down he
00:08:24.83\00:08:26.37
said, "It's alright,"
00:08:26.37\00:08:27.67
"it's alright, we don't have"
00:08:27.67\00:08:28.64
"to go rock climbing today"
00:08:28.64\00:08:29.77
"or descending down the"
00:08:29.77\00:08:31.11
"rock face."
00:08:31.11\00:08:32.14
"Just leave it,"
00:08:32.14\00:08:33.27
"just forget about it."
00:08:33.27\00:08:34.41
But I insisted that I had to
00:08:34.41\00:08:36.28
overcome this fear.
00:08:36.28\00:08:38.51
And so I asked him every
00:08:38.51\00:08:40.48
possible question about
00:08:40.48\00:08:42.18
the equipment.
00:08:42.18\00:08:43.55
"How safe was your equipment?"
00:08:43.55\00:08:45.12
"How many people have you"
00:08:45.12\00:08:46.55
"dropped in the past?"
00:08:46.55\00:08:47.79
and "What did you think"
00:08:47.79\00:08:49.32
"about my chances of"
00:08:49.32\00:08:50.69
"surviving that day."
00:08:50.69\00:08:52.86
And he was very patient and
00:08:52.86\00:08:55.30
when all of my questions were
00:08:55.30\00:08:57.27
answered to my satisfaction,
00:08:57.27\00:09:00.50
I went over the edge.
00:09:00.50\00:09:03.20
And so as I was going over the
00:09:03.20\00:09:06.14
bottom-- to the bottom, he had
00:09:06.14\00:09:07.61
a camera down there and it was
00:09:07.61\00:09:09.08
capturing some of
00:09:09.08\00:09:10.08
these images.
00:09:10.08\00:09:12.11
So these are some of the shots
00:09:12.11\00:09:13.31
from his camera.
00:09:13.31\00:09:15.38
Does this cause any of you to
00:09:15.38\00:09:16.72
have butterflies in
00:09:16.72\00:09:17.85
your stomach?
00:09:17.85\00:09:18.95
It certainly did me
00:09:18.95\00:09:19.82
at the time.
00:09:19.82\00:09:21.32
And I guarantee you that I
00:09:21.32\00:09:23.22
prayed all the way down
00:09:23.22\00:09:24.83
to the bottom.
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.13
I repeated the words, " I can"
00:09:26.13\00:09:27.76
"do all things through Christ"
00:09:27.76\00:09:29.46
"Who strengthens me."
00:09:29.46\00:09:31.37
>> I can assure you that when
00:09:31.37\00:09:32.80
it comes to dealing with
00:09:32.80\00:09:34.07
heights now, my husband is a
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.57
lot better than he was then.
00:09:36.57\00:09:38.34
It is amazing how he is able
00:09:38.34\00:09:40.51
to walk on swinging bridges,
00:09:40.51\00:09:42.28
climb ladders and trees, and
00:09:42.28\00:09:44.01
even climb mountains and not
00:09:44.01\00:09:46.18
feel paralyzed as he once did.
00:09:46.18\00:09:49.08
It really does come down to
00:09:49.08\00:09:50.85
this one thought:
00:09:50.85\00:09:52.39
And when your mind is renewed
00:09:57.06\00:09:59.16
as it says in Romans 12,
00:09:59.16\00:10:00.96
verse 2, you are transformed.
00:10:00.96\00:10:03.63
When you change the way you
00:10:03.63\00:10:05.00
look at things, the things you
00:10:05.00\00:10:06.74
look at change.
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.77
You see, when Michael's mind
00:10:08.77\00:10:11.04
was controlled by fear, he was
00:10:11.04\00:10:12.97
stuck, paralyzed by the
00:10:12.97\00:10:14.98
thought of rock climbing.
00:10:14.98\00:10:16.78
But when he changed the way he
00:10:16.78\00:10:18.28
looked at rock climbing, it
00:10:18.28\00:10:19.95
was no longer fearful to him.
00:10:19.95\00:10:22.58
>> There's a song we want you
00:10:22.58\00:10:23.72

00:14:25.93\00:14:37.31
>> It really is miraculous
00:14:40.74\00:14:42.41
what God can do and how He can
00:14:42.41\00:14:44.25
replace our fear
00:14:44.25\00:14:46.08
with His peace.
00:14:46.08\00:14:47.95
>> And that's what He did with
00:14:47.95\00:14:49.02
your fear of heights.
00:14:49.02\00:14:50.42
>> Yes, He did, He truly did.
00:14:50.42\00:14:53.29
Well, you know this story.
00:14:53.29\00:14:55.59
A dusty old shepherd goes
00:14:55.59\00:14:57.89
looking for his lost sheep and
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.63
coming around the corner, he
00:14:59.63\00:15:01.40
meets God in a burning bush.
00:15:01.40\00:15:05.67
We find the story in the Bible
00:15:05.67\00:15:07.67
in Exodus chapters 3 and 4.
00:15:07.67\00:15:11.24
>> God said to that dusty old
00:15:11.24\00:15:13.24
Shephard whose name is Moses,
00:15:13.24\00:15:15.54
>> Then Moses asks God in
00:15:42.07\00:15:43.64
Exodus 4, verse 1:
00:15:43.64\00:15:45.81
"It's just an old stick"
00:16:03.63\00:16:05.39
"that I use to herd sheep."
00:16:05.39\00:16:07.46
It's like he's saying,
00:16:07.46\00:16:08.80
"It's nothing."
00:16:08.80\00:16:09.93
"It's just a useless old"
00:16:09.93\00:16:11.30
"red paperclip."
00:16:11.30\00:16:13.64
>> But look at what the Bible
00:16:13.64\00:16:14.87
says in Hebrews 11, verse 3.
00:16:14.87\00:16:17.81
In other words, the Bible is
00:16:26.72\00:16:28.62
telling us that God created
00:16:28.62\00:16:31.59
everything out of nothing.
00:16:31.59\00:16:34.46
>> At least Moses had a stick
00:16:34.46\00:16:36.42
in his hand and Kyle McDonald
00:16:36.42\00:16:37.89
started with a red paperclip.
00:16:37.89\00:16:39.96
But God made everything
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.76
out of nothing.
00:16:41.76\00:16:43.06
He started with thin air.
00:16:43.06\00:16:45.67
>> When we place our trust in
00:16:45.67\00:16:47.34
God, we come to Him and say,
00:16:47.34\00:16:49.97
"Look at my life."
00:16:49.97\00:16:51.37
"I'm such a mess."
00:16:51.37\00:16:53.48
"I'm not good at anything."
00:16:53.48\00:16:55.11
And we have a list.
00:16:55.11\00:16:56.31
The list goes on and
00:16:56.31\00:16:57.55
on and on.
00:16:57.55\00:16:58.95
>> But just like Kyle
00:16:58.95\00:17:00.38
McDonald, you are not alone.
00:17:00.38\00:17:04.02
>> Believe it or not, besides
00:17:04.02\00:17:05.85
God, there are other people in
00:17:05.85\00:17:07.86
this world who are willing to
00:17:07.86\00:17:09.36
help you towards living a life
00:17:09.36\00:17:11.86
that is much bigger and better
00:17:11.86\00:17:13.73
than the life you are
00:17:13.73\00:17:14.73
now living.
00:17:14.73\00:17:15.86
>> So here's how most people
00:17:15.86\00:17:17.57
understand what happens when
00:17:17.57\00:17:19.10
you come to God and God comes
00:17:19.10\00:17:20.67
into your life.
00:17:20.67\00:17:21.84
You put your head down and you
00:17:21.84\00:17:23.20
read your Bible and you live
00:17:23.20\00:17:25.07
like, well, the Lone Ranger.
00:17:25.07\00:17:27.58
>> Who's the Lone Ranger?
00:17:27.58\00:17:29.44
>> The Lone Ranger is actually
00:17:29.44\00:17:30.88
a fictional masked cowboy who
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.55
fought against outlaws in the
00:17:33.55\00:17:34.78
Old West.
00:17:34.78\00:17:36.35
He was a solitary figure and
00:17:36.35\00:17:39.09
he did everything alone.
00:17:39.09\00:17:40.79
Except, it's kind of ironic,
00:17:40.79\00:17:42.26
he did have a friend whose
00:17:42.26\00:17:43.53
name was Tonto.
00:17:43.53\00:17:46.06
>> There is something called
00:17:46.06\00:17:47.60
the Lone Ranger Syndrome which
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.63
is the belief that we need to
00:17:49.63\00:17:51.03
do everything ourselves.
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.20
>> So if we apply the
00:17:53.20\00:17:55.30
Lone Ranger Syndrome to
00:17:55.30\00:17:58.27
Christianity, it is a belief
00:17:58.27\00:18:00.44
in a false efficiency.
00:18:00.44\00:18:03.41
A belief that if we do
00:18:03.41\00:18:05.28
everything ourselves, we will
00:18:05.28\00:18:07.38
get it done better,
00:18:07.38\00:18:08.25
quicker, faster.
00:18:08.25\00:18:10.62
[Rene] The reality is, every
00:18:10.62\00:18:12.99
Lone Ranger needs a Tonto.
00:18:12.99\00:18:15.66
[Mike] Yeah, Adam had Eve.
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.56
[Ren寯 The patriarchs Abraham,
00:18:17.56\00:18:18.99
Isaac, and Jacob had their
00:18:18.99\00:18:20.83
life partners Sarah, Rebekah,
00:18:20.83\00:18:22.43
and Rachel.
00:18:22.43\00:18:23.37
[Mike] And Moses had the
00:18:23.37\00:18:24.57
support of his brother, Aaron.
00:18:24.57\00:18:26.63
[Ren寯 And Daniel had the
00:18:26.63\00:18:28.00
support of his three friends
00:18:28.00\00:18:29.47
in Babylon.
00:18:29.47\00:18:30.71
>> And the Canadian blogger,
00:18:30.71\00:18:32.77
Kyle McDonald, didn't make it
00:18:32.77\00:18:35.58
on his own either.
00:18:35.58\00:18:37.41
>> No, he had the support of a
00:18:37.41\00:18:39.31
lot of other people who were
00:18:39.31\00:18:40.82
willing to help him make his
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.05
dream come true, turning his
00:18:42.05\00:18:44.15
red paperclip into
00:18:44.15\00:18:45.82
a restaurant.
00:18:45.82\00:18:47.29
>> God knows that we need
00:18:47.29\00:18:49.06
each other.
00:18:49.06\00:18:50.59
[Ren寯 And He designed us with
00:18:50.59\00:18:52.69
a need to work together.
00:18:52.69\00:18:55.06
[Mike] When we work together,
00:18:55.06\00:18:56.40
we work better, smarter,
00:18:56.40\00:18:59.13
and achieve more.
00:18:59.13\00:19:00.80
Did you know that one massive
00:19:00.80\00:19:04.31
Belgian Draft horse can pull
00:19:04.31\00:19:06.71
up to 2000 pounds?
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.78
>> Mm hmm.
00:19:08.78\00:19:09.94
However, if two horses who are
00:19:09.94\00:19:12.78
complete strangers are
00:19:12.78\00:19:14.62
harnessed together, they can
00:19:14.62\00:19:16.48
pull, now get this:
00:19:16.48\00:19:18.92
12,000 pounds!
00:19:18.92\00:19:21.16
[Mike] Wow!
00:19:21.16\00:19:22.06
That's 6 times the weight one
00:19:22.06\00:19:24.09
horse can pull on its own.
00:19:24.09\00:19:25.63
>> Mm hmm.
00:19:25.63\00:19:27.00
Yes, we call that "synergy."
00:19:27.00\00:19:28.86
>> Synergy is when both horses
00:19:28.86\00:19:30.87
working together can pull a
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.37
greater weight than the two
00:19:32.37\00:19:34.20
horses can pull on their own
00:19:34.20\00:19:35.70
or separately.
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.11
>> But there's more.
00:19:37.11\00:19:38.57
If two horses are raised and
00:19:38.57\00:19:40.38
trained together to pull and
00:19:40.38\00:19:42.14
think as one, they can haul
00:19:42.14\00:19:44.51
up to 16,000 pounds.
00:19:44.51\00:19:47.45
>> Wow, how is that possible?
00:19:47.45\00:19:48.85
>> Well, I don't know.
00:19:48.85\00:19:49.92
I'm not a draft horse, but I
00:19:49.92\00:19:52.85
do know that when I work alone
00:19:52.85\00:19:55.96
I'm not half as driven as when
00:19:55.96\00:19:57.76
I work in a team.
00:19:57.76\00:19:59.13
>> Mmm. Ecclesiastes
00:19:59.13\00:20:00.16
chapter 4, verse 9 tells
00:20:00.16\00:20:01.50
us that...
00:20:01.50\00:20:02.90
>> The Bible encourages you to
00:20:07.40\00:20:09.24
strive to work together as a
00:20:09.24\00:20:11.11
member of a team within a
00:20:11.11\00:20:12.61
united group of believers
00:20:12.61\00:20:14.24
called the church.
00:20:14.24\00:20:15.84
>> Together we can achieve
00:20:15.84\00:20:17.55
much more than we can
00:20:17.55\00:20:19.18
achieve separately.
00:20:19.18\00:20:20.72
In Hebrews 10, verse 25 we are
00:20:20.72\00:20:23.39
encouraged with these words:
00:20:23.39\00:20:25.29
>> There's an old hymn,
00:20:35.76\00:20:37.57
Blessed Be the Tie That Binds
00:20:37.57\00:20:40.14
and we want to share that song
00:20:40.14\00:20:41.80
with you right now.

00:22:18.33\00:22:25.67
>> As a member of the church,
00:22:28.78\00:22:29.94
God places something
00:22:29.94\00:22:31.21
in your hand.
00:22:31.21\00:22:32.25
It's called a talent.
00:22:32.25\00:22:33.98
And we all get a different
00:22:33.98\00:22:35.28
number of talents.
00:22:35.28\00:22:36.69
>> So Kyle McDonald started
00:22:36.69\00:22:38.42
with a red paperclip and
00:22:38.42\00:22:40.19
traded it for something bigger
00:22:40.19\00:22:42.09
and better and he wound up
00:22:42.09\00:22:43.89
with a two-story farm house.
00:22:43.89\00:22:46.09
>> And God called Moses to be
00:22:46.09\00:22:48.80
a mighty leader when Moses
00:22:48.80\00:22:51.07
felt like he could do nothing
00:22:51.07\00:22:53.54
but herd sheep and God asked
00:22:53.54\00:22:56.00
him one big question.
00:22:56.00\00:22:57.74
Here's the big question:
00:22:57.74\00:22:58.87
"What is that in your hand?"
00:22:58.87\00:23:00.71
>> And that is a big question.
00:23:00.71\00:23:02.54
What's in your hand?
00:23:02.54\00:23:05.15
What has God placed within
00:23:05.15\00:23:07.15
your sphere of influence?
00:23:07.15\00:23:08.92
Or what kind of talents
00:23:08.92\00:23:10.19
do you have?
00:23:10.19\00:23:12.25
You know, in Matthew 25 it
00:23:12.25\00:23:14.49
says God gives everyone at
00:23:14.49\00:23:16.79
least one talent.
00:23:16.79\00:23:18.43
>> That's true.
00:23:18.43\00:23:19.46
Some get more, like five,
00:23:19.46\00:23:21.93
another gets two, and someone
00:23:21.93\00:23:23.80
else gets one.
00:23:23.80\00:23:26.07
>> Basically, God gives us all
00:23:26.07\00:23:27.84
three assets.
00:23:27.84\00:23:29.17
Number one: time,
00:23:29.17\00:23:30.94
number two: energy,
00:23:30.94\00:23:33.11
and number three: money.
00:23:33.11\00:23:35.81
>> Why?
00:23:42.58\00:23:44.02
Why did he bury his talent and
00:23:44.02\00:23:45.89
the other two invested and
00:23:45.89\00:23:47.32
multiplied their talents just
00:23:47.32\00:23:48.82
like Kyle McDonald who turned
00:23:48.82\00:23:50.89
his red paperclip into a
00:23:50.89\00:23:53.19
two-story farm house.
00:23:53.19\00:23:55.30
Matthew 25:25 gives us a clue.
00:23:55.30\00:23:58.67
The one who buried the
00:23:58.67\00:24:00.07
talent said,
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.47
>> What? Who doesn't
00:24:06.91\00:24:08.01
make mistakes?
00:24:08.01\00:24:09.08
Everyone makes mistakes.
00:24:09.08\00:24:10.71
>> Well, you know, to be
00:24:10.71\00:24:12.38
honest, I am afraid of making
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.32
mistakes, too.
00:24:14.32\00:24:15.75
When I was in university my
00:24:15.75\00:24:17.62
first semester, I had to do a
00:24:17.62\00:24:20.39
class in public speaking and I
00:24:20.39\00:24:22.56
was so scared that I felt
00:24:22.56\00:24:24.33
every time I was gonna do
00:24:24.33\00:24:25.33
public speaking like I was
00:24:25.33\00:24:26.33
gonna get sick.
00:24:26.33\00:24:27.86
Once that class was over and I
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.56
passed it, I never wanted to
00:24:29.56\00:24:31.60
do public speaking ever again.
00:24:31.60\00:24:34.17
>> Well, that sure
00:24:34.17\00:24:35.10
didn't happen.
00:24:35.10\00:24:36.30
>> Yeah, that's true.
00:24:36.30\00:24:37.77
When God called me to be a
00:24:37.77\00:24:39.44
teacher and also to be a
00:24:39.44\00:24:41.24
pastor, I had to do public
00:24:41.24\00:24:42.68
speaking all the time.
00:24:42.68\00:24:44.35
And you know what?
00:24:44.35\00:24:46.35
I'm afraid every time I have
00:24:46.35\00:24:48.52
to stand up.
00:24:48.52\00:24:49.98
But I do it anyway.
00:24:49.98\00:24:52.05
I say to myself, "Take those"
00:24:52.05\00:24:54.29
"butterflies and make them"
00:24:54.29\00:24:55.66
"fly in formation."
00:24:55.66\00:24:57.49
And then I pray for God's
00:24:57.49\00:24:58.99
guidance because I know that
00:24:58.99\00:25:01.73
I can do all things through
00:25:01.73\00:25:03.53
Christ who strengthens me.
00:25:03.53\00:25:06.20
And instead of nervous,
00:25:06.20\00:25:08.57
fearful energy, God turns it
00:25:08.57\00:25:11.11
into positive, focused energy.
00:25:11.11\00:25:14.51
>> So what would you attempt
00:25:14.51\00:25:16.11
if you knew you could
00:25:16.11\00:25:17.55
not fail?
00:25:17.55\00:25:18.78
>> I like these reassuring
00:25:18.78\00:25:19.98
words from the Bible:
00:25:19.98\00:25:21.18
"For nothing is impossible"
00:25:21.18\00:25:22.78
"with God."
00:25:22.78\00:25:24.29
So if nothing is impossible
00:25:24.29\00:25:25.52
with God, then I know that I
00:25:25.52\00:25:27.72
can trust Him, even when I am
00:25:27.72\00:25:29.42
afraid, I know that I can put
00:25:29.42\00:25:32.13
my trust in Him.
00:25:32.13\00:25:34.36
Not once should we even think
00:25:34.36\00:25:36.60
of failure especially because
00:25:36.60\00:25:38.33
we are working with One Who
00:25:38.33\00:25:39.67
knows no failure.
00:25:39.67\00:25:42.27
Even if all you possess is one
00:25:42.27\00:25:45.27
teeny tiny talent, with God,
00:25:45.27\00:25:48.38
you can do the impossible.
00:25:48.38\00:25:51.98
>> If by playing a game of
00:25:51.98\00:25:53.52
Bigger and Better,
00:25:53.52\00:25:54.68
starting with a red paperclip,
00:25:54.68\00:25:56.58
Kyle McDonald ended up with a
00:25:56.58\00:25:58.42
two-story farm house,
00:25:58.42\00:26:00.62
then what's holding us back?
00:26:00.62\00:26:03.09
If God is on our side, then
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.49
what do we have to be
00:26:05.49\00:26:07.03
afraid of?
00:26:07.03\00:26:08.56
I want to invite you to pray
00:26:08.56\00:26:10.17
at this time that God will
00:26:10.17\00:26:11.33
help you to trust Him despite
00:26:11.33\00:26:13.74
your fears right now.
00:26:13.74\00:26:15.00
Let's pray.
00:26:15.00\00:26:16.40
Lord, the toughest part of any
00:26:18.44\00:26:21.11
achievement is overcoming our
00:26:21.11\00:26:23.45
fears, but with You as our
00:26:23.45\00:26:25.98
Saviour guiding and directing
00:26:25.98\00:26:28.35
our lives, even when we are
00:26:28.35\00:26:30.52
afraid, we know that we can
00:26:30.52\00:26:32.25
put our trust in You.
00:26:32.25\00:26:34.36
Not once should we even think
00:26:34.36\00:26:36.79
of failure because we are
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.59
working with you, Lord, and
00:26:38.59\00:26:40.66
You know no failure.
00:26:40.66\00:26:43.16
Even if all we possess is one
00:26:43.16\00:26:45.33
teeny tiny talent,
00:26:45.33\00:26:48.04
with You, Lord, we can do
00:26:48.04\00:26:49.97
the impossible.
00:26:49.97\00:26:52.14
We pray this in Jesus'
00:26:52.14\00:26:53.98
lovely name, amen.
00:26:53.98\00:26:57.85
>> Do you ever feel
00:26:57.85\00:26:59.11
anxious or scared?
00:26:59.11\00:27:00.75
If so, you're normal.
00:27:00.75\00:27:02.68
But God doesn't want anxiety
00:27:02.68\00:27:04.62
and fear to get in the way of
00:27:04.62\00:27:06.02
a happy life.
