>>> HELLO, FRIENDS, AND WELCOME
00:00:56.62\00:01:17.57
TO THURSDAY NIGHT
LIVE. 3ABN HAS STUDIOS IN TWO
00:01:17.57\00:01:22.11
LOCALITIES WHICH IS JUST AN
INCH AWAY FROM EACH OTHER ON THE
00:01:22.11\00:01:26.05
COUNTY LINE OR THE CITY LINE.
BUT THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN.
00:01:26.05\00:01:29.58
MY NAME IS JOHN LOMACANG.
IF YOU ARE TUNING IN FOR THE
00:01:29.58\00:01:32.92
FIRST TIME, THIS IS THE NETWORK
THAT WE BELIEVE THE LORD WANTS
00:01:32.92\00:01:38.79
YOU TO LISTEN TO TONIGHT,
SO DON'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
00:01:38.79\00:01:42.80
WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT IS GOING
TO INSPIRE YOU AND IGNITE YOU.
00:01:42.80\00:01:47.74
TONIGHT WE BELIEVE THE LORD IS
GOING TO SPAK TO YOUR HEART IN
00:01:47.74\00:01:51.81
A MARVELOUS WAY. FOR
THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE
00:01:51.81\00:01:55.94
STAYED WITH US THROUGH
THE YEARS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
00:01:55.94\00:01:58.61
PRAYERS AND FOR
YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
00:01:58.61\00:02:01.38
THAT KEEPS US GOING AND
GROWING, AS WE PREPARE FOR THE
00:02:01.38\00:02:05.75
SOON-COMING OF OUR SAVIOR, AND
WHAT A DAY TO BE LIVING IN BOTH
-POLITICALLY, SPIRITUAL, THERE
00:02:05.75\00:02:16.43
ARE CHALLENGES EVERYWHERE,
BUT AS DANNY SHELTON SAYS, IF WE
00:02:16.43\00:02:21.70
CONTINUE TO PREACH THE UNDILUTED
THREE ANGELS MESSAGE, WE KNOW WE
00:02:21.70\00:02:32.58
WILL BE BLESSED.
YOU CAN WRITE US AND ASK
00:02:32.58\00:02:36.08
QUESTIONS, BUT
TONIGHT IS ALL THE WAY LIVE.
00:02:36.08\00:02:38.59
AND WE HAVE TWO YOUNG MEN
THAT ARE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.
00:02:38.59\00:02:42.99
I'LL INTRODUCE THEM TO
YOU IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS.
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.09
BEFORE WE GO TO OUR MUSIC,
THOUGH, I WANT TO BEGIN BY
00:02:46.09\00:02:50.13
DISPELLING SOME RUMORS
THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET.
00:02:50.13\00:02:53.47
MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THINGS
ON THE INTERNET ABOUT 3ABN IN
00:02:53.47\00:03:01.18
RUSSIA. BECAUSE
IT'S ON THE INTERNET
00:03:01.18\00:03:03.68
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TRUE. BECAUSE
YOUR FRINDS TAG IT TO -YOU,
DOESN'T MEAN IT IS VALID OR
00:03:03.68\00:03:10.49
SOMETHING THAT IS CERTAIN.
AS YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE -- YOU
00:03:10.49\00:03:13.96
HAVE HEARD -- PEOPLE SAID THERE
IS TROUBLE AT 3ABN RUSSIA; THAT
00:03:13.96\00:03:17.83
IT HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN.
I WANT TO SET THE RECORD
00:03:17.83\00:03:20.53
STRAIGHT TONIGHT, AND I CANNOT
BELIEVE I'M GOING TO USE THIS
00:03:20.53\00:03:24.90
PHRASE. THAT'S FAKE NEWS.
00:03:24.90\00:03:28.67
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND I
THOUGHT LORD I'LL NEVER
00:03:28.67\00:03:31.41
USE THAT PHRASE, BUT I
HAVE TO USE IT TONIGHT.
00:03:31.41\00:03:34.14
3ABN RUSSIA IS BEING BLESSED
BY THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:03:34.14\00:03:38.05
THEY ARE IN A
WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
00:03:38.05\00:03:40.38
GOVERNMENT. THE
GOVERNMENT IS VERY
00:03:40.38\00:03:42.75
SUPPORTIVE. THE
GOVERNMENT HAS MADE
00:03:42.75\00:03:45.25
INITIATIVES FOR 3ABN RUSSIA
TO REACH OUTS TO IT COMMUNITY.
00:03:45.25\00:03:49.86
SO THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE DANGER
OF 3ABN RUSSIA BEING SHUT DOWN,
00:03:49.86\00:03:54.56
AND SOME OF YOU HAVE
HEARD -- AND I'LL SHARE A FEW
00:03:54.56\00:03:58.17
THINGS YEAR, JULIA WHO IS
THE HEAD OF OUR 3ABN RUSSIA, HAS
00:03:58.17\00:04:03.00
MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THERE
ARE SOME ISSUES IN RUSSIA WITH
00:04:03.00\00:04:06.71
CERTAIN OTHER DENOMINATIONS,
BUT THANK THE LORD NOT WITH THE
00:04:06.71\00:04:11.48
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH,
AND SURELY NOT WITH OUR 3ABN
00:04:11.48\00:04:14.55
RUSSIA FACILITY. SO IF
YOU HEARD THAT NEWS, DON'T
00:04:14.55\00:04:18.52
PASS IT ON. YOU CAN DELETE IT.
00:04:18.52\00:04:21.12
YOU CAN GO TO YOUR FACEBACK
FRIENDS AND SAY IF YOU HEARD
00:04:21.12\00:04:25.49
ABOUT 3ABN RUSSIA IN A NEGATIVE
WAY, IT IS NOT RELIABLE NEW.
00:04:25.49\00:04:30.33
IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL.
THERE ARE SOME NEWS NETWORKS
00:04:30.33\00:04:35.07
THAT KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS UP
AND MAKE IT LOOK LEGIT, BUT IT
00:04:35.07\00:04:39.47
IS NOT LEGIT. 3ABN IS
ON 80 COUNTRIES ACROSS
00:04:39.47\00:04:44.88
THE FORMER SOVIET UNION
AND CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD.
00:04:44.88\00:04:49.02
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CARTER
REPORT, WE'RE PLANNING TO DO A
00:04:49.02\00:04:53.52
SERIES IN RUSSIA, AND JOHN
CARTER IS JOINING US, AND WE'RE
00:04:53.52\00:04:58.33
LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE LORD
TO EXPAND THE HORIZON THERE.
00:04:58.33\00:05:02.83
THE DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN FOR THE
SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL, AND GOD IS
00:05:02.83\00:05:07.34
HOLDING BACK THE WINDS, SO THAT
THIS AD VENT MESSAGE CAN REACH
00:05:07.34\00:05:16.51
THE HEARTS AND LIVES OF OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN RUSSIA.
00:05:16.51\00:05:20.58
WE KNOW BECAUSE WE'RE LIVING
IN THE LAST DAYS, BUT AS OF THIS
00:05:20.58\00:05:26.25
BROADCAST, 3ABN RUSSIA IS ALIVE
AND WELL AND NOT IN ANY JEOPARDY
00:05:26.25\00:05:31.59
AT ALL WITH THE GOVERNMENT
AND THE DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN, AND
00:05:31.59\00:05:34.73
THEY ARE DOING PROGRAMS EVERY
DPA -- DAY, AND THEY ARE SEE
00:05:34.73\00:05:42.17
ALL THROUGHOUT RUSSIA, SO IF
YOU HEARD THAT, YOU CAN TAKE A
00:05:42.17\00:05:46.17
BREATH AND REST ASSURE
THAT THAT IS NOT RELIABLE NEWS.
00:05:46.17\00:05:49.91
IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT IT, YOU CAN GO TO OUR 3ABN
00:05:49.91\00:05:55.85
WEBSITE, 3ABN.TV, AND THERE
IS AN UPDATE FROM JULIA ON OUR
00:05:55.85\00:06:03.93
PAT PATIENT WEBSITE.
00:06:03.93\00:06:06.49
IF YOU READ THAT EMAIL, YOU CAN
SEND THE MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS
00:06:06.49\00:06:13.00
THAT IT IS NOT VALID.
BEFORE WE INTRODUCE OUR GUESTS
00:06:13.00\00:06:17.87
WE HAVE MUSIC. AND
I'M ALL SO IMPRESSED WITH
00:06:17.87\00:06:24.21

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:10:34.96\00:11:10.13
THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING US.
I'M ACTUALLY ON A PROJECT NOW,
00:11:10.13\00:11:15.37
AND HE WRITES A LOT OF WONDERFUL
ORIGINAL SONGS, AND I'M IN THE
00:11:15.37\00:11:19.91
PROCESS OF RECORDING TWO OF
THOSE, NOT ON A PROJECT OF MINE,
00:11:19.91\00:11:23.35
BUT THIS YOUNG MAN IS INSPIRED,
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALK
00:11:23.35\00:11:28.25
ABOUT THE LOVE OF THE LORD,
WHICH IS ALWAYS THE CONSTANT
00:11:28.25\00:11:31.49
BLESSINGS OF GOD. LET'S
MEET OUR GUESTS TONIGHT.
00:11:31.49\00:11:34.92
I COULD SUMMARIZE THIS PROGRAM
BY SAYING WE'RE GOING TO TALK
00:11:34.92\00:11:40.76
ABOUT SALT. NOT
SEASONED SALT, COOKING SALT,
00:11:40.76\00:11:43.70
BUT CHRISTIAN SALT. WE
HAVE TWO YOUNG MEN, ERIC
00:11:43.70\00:11:47.64
CAMARILLO. GOOD TO MEET YOU.
00:11:47.64\00:11:49.50
AND LO-AMMI RICHARDSON.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.
00:11:49.50\00:11:51.84
>> GOOD TO BE HERE. >>
THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ON
00:11:51.84\00:11:58.41
3ABN LIVE. >> UH-HUH.
00:11:58.41\00:12:00.22
>> BUT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING
PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND
00:12:00.22\00:12:04.79
I'M GLAD THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT
SALT THAT HAS LOST ITS SAVOR.
00:12:04.79\00:12:12.26
>> AMEN. >> I'LL
START WITH YOU, ERIC,
00:12:12.26\00:12:15.36
JUST IN A NUTSHELL, WHO YOU ARE,
WHERE YOU ARE FROM, AND WHAT YOU
00:12:15.36\00:12:19.27
DO RIGHT NOW, AND I'LL COME BACK
TO YOU TO GIVE YOU SOME ROOM TO
00:12:19.27\00:12:24.07
GIVE US YOUR
BACKGROUND. >> YEAH, YEAH.
00:12:24.07\00:12:27.38
SO A LITTLE ABOUT
MYSELF. MY NAME IS ERIC.
00:12:27.38\00:12:30.08
I WAS RAISED IN CHICAGO. I
WAS BORN IN CHICAGO, RAISED
00:12:30.08\00:12:33.75
THERE, MOVED TO
FLORIDA, IN ORLANDO NOW.
00:12:33.75\00:12:37.42
>> WHY WOULD YOU MOVE
TO FLORIDA FROM CHICAGO IN
00:12:37.42\00:12:39.39
>> IT'S A FUNNY STORY, BUT I WAS
HELD AT GUNPOINT IN CHICAGO, MY
00:12:39.39\00:12:46.13
MOM FOUND OUT, AND SHE IS
LIKE WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
00:12:46.13\00:12:49.73
>> GOOD REASON. >> YEAH.
00:12:49.73\00:12:52.10
YEAH. RIGHT NOW
I'M IN SCHOOL, GETTING
00:12:52.10\00:12:55.54
MY MASTERS IN
NON-PROFIT MANAGEMENT.
00:12:55.54\00:13:04.45
YEAH, THE MINISTRY IS
-- IS -- IS MY MAIN FOCUS.
00:13:04.45\00:13:08.88
>> WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.65
>> YEAH. YEAH.
00:13:11.65\00:13:14.02
>> WOW. >> LO-AMMI.
00:13:14.02\00:13:16.26
>> YES. >> A BIBLE
NAME FROM THE BOOK OF
00:13:16.26\00:13:20.83
ISAIAH. >> YES.
00:13:20.83\00:13:21.66
>> TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF.
>> I WAS BORN A SEVENTH-DAY
00:13:21.66\00:13:26.90
ADVENTISTS, GREW UP IN ORLANDO
THE MAJORITY OF MY LIFE, AND
00:13:26.90\00:13:30.84
JUST BECAUSE YOU GROW UP IN THE
CHURCH, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE A
00:13:30.84\00:13:34.98
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. SO
WHEN I DRIFTED AWAY, TRYING
00:13:34.98\00:13:39.68
TO FILL THE VOID I WANTED
TO FILL SO DESPERATE WITH THE
00:13:39.68\00:13:44.19
THINGS OF THE WORLD, EVENTUALLY
I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MY
00:13:44.19\00:13:50.33
SISTER THAT LEAD ME TO GYC AND
MY CONVERSION PROCESS STARTED
00:13:50.33\00:13:55.83
SINCE THEN. 2010 I
GAVE MY HEART TO GOD, AND
00:13:55.83\00:13:59.80
HAVE BEEN IN
FULL-TIME EVANGELISM SINCE THEN.
00:13:59.80\00:14:02.74
>> PRAISE THE LORD. YOU
ARE REALLY SHAKING THE SALT
00:14:02.74\00:14:06.71
SHAKER OF THE
KINGDOM WHEREVER YOU GO.
00:14:06.71\00:14:10.08
>> RIGHT. >> TELL ME ABOUT THIS.
00:14:10.08\00:14:12.11
BECAUSE I'M LISTENING TO THE ONE
THAT WAS RAISED OR BORN IN AN
00:14:12.11\00:14:17.09
ADD  ADVENTIST FAMILY, BUT
STILL NEEDED TO BE BORN AGAIN.
00:14:17.09\00:14:24.06
AND ERIC, WE'LL BEGIN WITH YOU.
YOU TALKED ABOUT BEING BORN AND
00:14:24.06\00:14:28.50
RAISED IN CHICAGO. >> RIGHT.
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.03
>> ALL MAJOR CITIES
HAVE THEIR CHALLENGES.
00:14:30.03\00:14:33.03
ORLANDO IS BECOMING
ONE -- SORRY, IS ONE.
00:14:33.03\00:14:36.20
>> DEFINITELY IS ONE. YEAH.
00:14:36.20\00:14:39.11
>> IT'S BAD NOW. >>
YEAH, I WAS RAISED CULTURALLY
00:14:39.11\00:14:43.08
A CATHOLIC. I
DIDN'T REALLY PRACTICE
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.78
ANYTHING -- ANY OF
THE BELIEFS THROUGH FAITH.
00:14:45.78\00:14:48.98
IT WAS JUST KIND OF A TRADITION
ON BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY, VERY
00:14:48.98\00:14:53.69
DEEP, DEEP-ROOTED
IN THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
00:14:53.69\00:14:57.99
AND SO I -- I
WASN'T UNTIL I MOVED HERE.
00:14:57.99\00:15:01.23
I WAS ABOUT 22 YEARS OLD.
JUST GOT OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP
00:15:01.23\00:15:05.07
THAT LEAD ME TO TRY TO FILL THIS
EMPTY HOLE THAT WAS IN MY HEART.
00:15:05.07\00:15:10.67
AND I REMEMBER SEARCHING IN ALL
OF THESE DIFFERENT WAYS, EVEN
00:15:10.67\00:15:14.74
VIDEO GAMES, GOING OUT
WITH FRIENDS, ALL OF THESE
00:15:14.74\00:15:18.11
DIFFERENT -- DRINKING AND
GETTING INTO OTHER THINGS, TO
00:15:18.11\00:15:21.32
TRY TO FILL THAT GAP. BUT
IT WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.
00:15:21.32\00:15:27.26
SO ONE DAY I WOKE UP, AND WAS IN
STILL THIS DEPRESSION MODE FROM
00:15:27.26\00:15:32.46
THAT RELATIONSHIP. I
WOKE UP, AND SOMEONE BOUGHT ME
00:15:32.46\00:15:38.47
A BIBLE FOR
CHRISTMAS. THIS WAS JAN 2010.
00:15:38.47\00:15:47.94
AND I OPENED THE
BIBLE AND STARTED READING.
00:15:47.94\00:15:52.95
AND THE WORDS FOR THE SERMON
OF THE MOUNT WERE IN RED.3
00:15:52.95\00:15:58.19
AND I STARTED TO FEEL A
COMFORT I HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE.
00:15:58.19\00:16:02.36
AND I JUST KEPT
READING. I KEPT READING.
00:16:02.36\00:16:05.53
MY PARENTS THOUGHT I WAS GOING
CRAZY, BECAUSE THERE WERE TIMES
00:16:05.53\00:16:09.43
WHEN I WOULDN'T GO
TO EAT AT THE TABLE.
00:16:09.43\00:16:12.47
MY MOM WOULD
HAVE TO BRING ME FOOD.
00:16:12.47\00:16:15.30
OH, ADAM AND EVE, I HAVE HEARD
THAT STORY, LET ME READ IT.
00:16:15.30\00:16:20.08
>> THE BREAD OF
LIFE TASTED GOOD.
00:16:20.08\00:16:22.21
>> RIGHT. IT WAS REALLY INTENSE.
00:16:22.21\00:16:25.05
IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE FOR SURE.
MY MOM ENDED UP MAKING ME SIT
00:16:25.05\00:16:30.62
DOWN WITH CATHOLIC PRIEST, AND
IT WAS AFTER THAT MEETING THAT
00:16:30.62\00:16:36.66
IT WAS CONFIRMED TO ME BY GOD
THAT I WAS GOING IN THE RIGHT
00:16:36.66\00:16:41.70
DIRECTION. AND --
AND I JUST -- I KEPT
00:16:41.70\00:16:44.97
STUDYING, I -- THERE WERE
THREE GROUPS OF FRIENDS WHO WERE
00:16:44.97\00:16:48.44
CHRISTIAN, AND I ASKED
THEM TO GIVE ME BIBLE STUDIES.
00:16:48.44\00:16:52.24
TWO OF THOSE GROUPS HAPPENED
TO BE ADVENTIST GROUPS, AND THE
00:16:52.24\00:16:57.65
OTHER WAS NON-DENOMINATIONAL.
I STUDIED THE TRADITIONAL
00:16:57.65\00:17:02.22
CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OF THOUGHT AND
THE ADVENTIST SCHOOL OF THOUGHT,
00:17:02.22\00:17:05.59
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY,
I MADE THE DECISION TO START
00:17:05.59\00:17:10.79
ATTENDING THE ADVENTIST CHURCH.
BECAUSE THE WHOLE BIBLE WAS
00:17:10.79\00:17:15.30
TAKEN IN CONTEXT, AND IT
JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO ME.
00:17:15.30\00:17:20.40
IT JUST FIT TOGETHER, AND YEAH,
I WAS BAPTIZED IN MAY 2010 AT
00:17:20.40\00:17:25.27
THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:17:25.27\00:17:26.51
I GOOGLED A SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH THAT MY MOM
00:17:26.51\00:17:30.08
WOULD MOST LIKELY GO TO, AND SHE
IS FILIPINO, SO I THOUGHT LET ME
00:17:30.08\00:17:35.68
GO HERE. I WALKED
IN, AND TO THE FIRST
00:17:35.68\00:17:38.25
PERSON I SAW, I SAID
I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:17:38.25\00:17:41.12
AND HE IS LIKE, OH,
OKAY. HE CALLED THE PASTOR.
00:17:41.12\00:17:45.69
HE IS LIKE SOMEONE JUST CAME IN
HERE AND WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:17:45.69\00:17:49.76
SO THAT WAS IN APRIL OF 2010
AND THEN IN MAY AFTER MY STUDY.
00:17:49.76\00:17:54.27
>> WOW, SO YOU WERE
ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.
00:17:54.27\00:17:57.11
I WANT YOU TO TIP IN A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THAT STORY ABOUT YOUR
00:17:57.11\00:18:02.98
MOTHER TAKING YOU
TO THE CATHOLIC PRIEST.
00:18:02.98\00:18:06.41
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? >>
WELL, SO IT WAS -- IT WAS
00:18:06.41\00:18:12.85
NERVE-RACKING. YOU
KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
00:18:12.85\00:18:15.29
DO. WE HAVE SEEN HIM.
00:18:15.29\00:18:17.33
WE HAVE GONE TO CHURCH AND SEEN
THIS PRIEST UP THERE, AND HE IS
00:18:17.33\00:18:21.86
FILIPINO TOO, ACTUALLY, AND MY
MOM FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH
00:18:21.86\00:18:26.13
HIM, SO I REMEMBER MY MOM
TELLING ME, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO
00:18:26.13\00:18:29.67
SIT DOWN WITH HIM. I
WENT AND STARTED TYPING.
00:18:29.67\00:18:32.54
I TYPED SEVEN PAGES OF NOTES.
SEVEN PAGES OF NOTES I WANTED TO
00:18:32.54\00:18:38.35
COVER WITH THIS PRIEST, AND
-- AND IN -- IN THOSE PAGES,
00:18:38.35\00:18:43.69
YOU KNOW, I WOULD GO TO SIT DOWN
WITH HIM, AND I BRING UP THREE
00:18:43.69\00:18:48.72
TOPICS. ONE IS --
ONE I ASK ABOUT IS WHY
00:18:48.72\00:18:51.43
DO WE PRAY TO OTHER PEOPLE?
ROMANS 323 SAYS [ INAUDIBLE ]
00:18:51.43\00:18:57.70
GLORY OF GOD. THE
OTHER QUESTION WAS WHY DO I
00:18:57.70\00:19:02.74
NEED TO CONFESS MY SINS TO
ANOTHER PERON.->> I WANT TO
PAUSE A MOMENT HERE
00:19:02.74\00:19:12.01
AND JUST KIND OF -- AS YOU ARE
LISTENING TO THIS STORY, I KNOW
00:19:12.01\00:19:16.32
THERE MAY BE SOME OF YOU THAT
MAY BE IN THE SAME PLACE THAT
00:19:16.32\00:19:20.02
ERIC WAS, ON THE JOURNEY TO
FINING WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO
00:19:20.02\00:19:24.36
FIT. AND THIS IS
-- SOMETIMES IT CAN
00:19:24.36\00:19:27.23
BE STARTLING.
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE CHALLENGING.
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.57
SOMETIMES IT COULD BE
NERVE-RACKING, AND YOU WONDER IS
00:19:30.57\00:19:34.07
MY LIFE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION
THAT GOD WANTS ME TO MOVE IN,
00:19:34.07\00:19:38.57
AND AS YOU LISTEN TO THE STORY
UNFOLD, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO
00:19:38.57\00:19:42.81
BE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH HIM.
00:19:42.81\00:19:45.21
WHEN GOD SPEAKS THROUGH
HIS WORD, HIS WORD IS ALWAYS
00:19:45.21\00:19:48.85
RELIABLE. AND I
WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU,
00:19:48.85\00:19:51.75
ERIC -- WELL, LET ME GIVE L
LO-AMMI A CHANCE TO CHIME IN.
00:19:51.75\00:20:00.06
BEING RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN
ADVENTIST HOME, YOU ALSO
00:20:00.06\00:20:04.03
MENTIONED EARLIER, THE VOIDS.
I WANT TO MENTION THAT BRIEFLY.
00:20:04.03\00:20:07.34
THERE ARE LOTS OF HOLES IN THE
LIVES OF SO MANY PEOPLE, AND I
00:20:07.34\00:20:13.94
THINK ANOTHER DEFINITION FOR
SIN IS AN ATTMPT TO FILL A VOID
00:20:13.94\00:20:17.98
THAT ONLY GOD CAN
FILL, BUT TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:20:17.98\00:20:20.25
>> THAT'S PROBABLY THE
BEST EXPLANATION FOR ME.
00:20:20.25\00:20:22.72
I GREW UP IN THE CHURCH, GREW
UP IN A GOOD CHRISTIAN HOME, MY
00:20:22.72\00:20:28.06
MOTHER WAS VERY
INFLUENTIAL IN MY LIFE.
00:20:28.06\00:20:31.66
MADE SURE I STUDIED MY BIBLE
AND HAD THE ANSWERS PREPARED FOR
00:20:31.66\00:20:37.67
SABBATH SCHOOL THE NEXT MORNING.
BUT AS YOU GROW OLDER, CHURCH
00:20:37.67\00:20:42.90
BECOMES A PLACE WHERE YOU HANG
OUT AND SOCIALIZE, AND ONCE YOU
00:20:42.90\00:20:47.21
GET OLD ENOUGH TO START MAKING
YOUR OWN DECISIONS, CHURCH
00:20:47.21\00:20:50.65
DIDN'T BECOME A
PART OF THAT PROCESS.
00:20:50.65\00:20:53.08
SO TRYING TO FIND MYSELF AND
FINDING WHAT I COULD IDENTIFY
00:20:53.08\00:20:59.82
WITH, WAS FILLING ME UP. I
WANTED TO PURSUE A CAREER IN
00:20:59.82\00:21:04.49
BASKETBALL, AND YOU HANG
AROUND CERTAIN PEOPLE AND ARE
00:21:04.49\00:21:07.03
INFLUENCED BY THE MUSIC,
CULTURE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS
00:21:07.03\00:21:11.37
THAT MOLDED AND
SHAPED THE WAY I WAS ACTING.
00:21:11.37\00:21:18.64
AND THT LEAD ME ASTRAY FROM THE
CHURCH TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS
00:21:18.64\00:21:23.78
DOING THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO
DO, AND EVENTUALLY IT GOT TO THE
00:21:23.78\00:21:28.15
POINT WHERE I WAS PURSUING
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, THE
00:21:28.15\00:21:32.25
CARS -- YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE
MATERIAL THINGS, AND EVENTUALLY
00:21:32.25\00:21:35.39
THE LORD WAS STRIPPING THOSE
THINGS AWAY, AND SO THE THINGS
00:21:35.39\00:21:39.19
THAT I FOUND JOY IN, THE THINGS
THAT I FOUND MY IDENTITY IN,
00:21:39.19\00:21:44.33
ULTIMATELY WAS BEING STRIPPED
AWAY, AND IT IS JUST LIKE ERIC
00:21:44.33\00:21:48.14
SAID, IT WAS A RELATIONSHIP THAT
I GOT OUT OF, AND SHE WAS MY
00:21:48.14\00:21:52.81
PRIZED POSSESSION, AND WHEN SHE
LEFT, IT WAS LIKE, WHAT IS THE
00:21:52.81\00:21:57.01
POINT OF LIVING? WHAT
IS GOING TO ALLOW ME TO
00:21:57.01\00:22:00.52
CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD.
>> SHE BECAME THE SCAFFOLD AND
00:22:00.52\00:22:05.59
YOU WERE ON LIKE
THE 50TH FLOOR. >> YEAH.
00:22:05.59\00:22:10.49
I WAS NOT
NECESSARILY SUICIDAL --
00:22:10.49\00:22:12.43
>> BUT A BIG PART OF YOUR
LIFE, WAS KIND OF WHAT HAPPENED?
00:22:12.43\00:22:16.33
>> ABSOLUTELY. SO
THERE IS A POINT WHERE YOU
00:22:16.33\00:22:19.37
DRINK A LOT MORE, YOU TRY
TO TRAIN A LOT MORE TO PLAY
00:22:19.37\00:22:23.87
BASKETBALL, AND THAT VOID
BECOMES DEEPER AND DEEPER AND
00:22:23.87\00:22:26.94
BECOMES BIGGER AND BIGGER,
AND MY MOTHER AND SISTER ALWAYS
00:22:26.94\00:22:32.31
PRAYED FOR ME, AND IT EVENTUALLY
GOT TO A BREAKING POINT, WHERE
00:22:32.31\00:22:38.02
MY SISTER GAVE ME A CALL, AND
TOLD ME ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE
00:22:38.02\00:22:43.73
GYC, AND I WAS LIKE, I WANT TO
START THE YEAR OFF WITH GOD, AND
00:22:43.73\00:22:48.53
I ALWAYS SAY THAT BUT THEN I
WAKE UP WITH A HANGOVER, BUT IF
00:22:48.53\00:22:54.10
I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS
MY MOTHER THAT PAID FOR IT, I
00:22:54.10\00:22:58.71
WOULDN'T HAVE GONE. I
DIFFERENT WANT TO DO ANYTHING
00:22:58.71\00:23:02.81
WITH RELIGION -- TO HAVE
IT FORCED UPON ME, SO I MOVE
00:23:02.81\00:23:07.08
FORWARD, EVEN MY JOURNEY
GOING TO GYC, I HAD ALL OF THESE
00:23:07.08\00:23:12.89
QUESTIONS BREWING IN MY MIND
AND WAS DISCOURAGED BY A FRIEND,
00:23:12.89\00:23:17.76
BECOME DISCOURAGED ME TO
GO, EVENTUALLY I WENT TO GYC AND
00:23:17.76\00:23:23.80
HEARD A SERMON BY MARK FINLEY,
AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY QUESTION
00:23:23.80\00:23:28.47
I HAD HE ANSWERED IT AND WAS
POINTING AT ME, AND THERE WAS A
00:23:28.47\00:23:32.27
POINT WHERE I WAS STRUGGLING
WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD GIVE MY
00:23:32.27\00:23:37.81
HEART TO GOD, AND MY PHONE
WAS RINGING, HEY, WHERE ARE YOU?
00:23:37.81\00:23:46.12
AND I REMEMBER MY HEART
BEING RIPPED APART, AND MY ONLY
00:23:46.12\00:23:51.13
NATURAL RESPONSE WAS TO
CRY. AND THERE WERE THESE TWO
00:23:51.13\00:23:55.93
CARIBBEAN LADIES, AND I SAID
I JUST WANT TO SEE MY SISTER.
00:23:55.93\00:23:59.70
AND THERE WAS A MASS
GROUP OF PEOPLE WALKING.
00:23:59.70\00:24:02.40
I SAW MY SISTER, AND THEN THE
GAP CLOSED AND I JUST REMEMBERED
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.87
ALL OF THE TIMES THAT SHE PRAYED
FOR ME, THAT MY MOM PRAYED FOR
00:24:05.87\00:24:10.41
ME, AND AT THAT POINT I
MADE A DECISION FOR CHRIST, AND
00:24:10.41\00:24:15.15
SEBASTIAN [ INAUDIBLE ]
WAS A MAJOR INFLUENCE AS WELL.
00:24:15.15\00:24:17.62
I WISH I COULD SAY I WENT BACK
ON FIRE FOR GOD, BUT I TRIED
00:24:17.62\00:24:21.82
TO -- NOW -- I PLACED GOD IN MY
LIFE, BUT I TRIED TO STILL HOLD
00:24:21.82\00:24:26.86
ON TO THE THINGS OF THE WORLD,
AND IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE
00:24:26.86\00:24:31.90
GOD WAS LIKE IT'S
EITHER ALL OR NOTHING.
00:24:31.90\00:24:34.44
SO I SAID YOU HAVE TO SEND ME AS
FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE, SO HE DID,
00:24:34.44\00:24:39.64
SO I ENDED UP BEING
IN CALIFORNIA, AND IT WAS
00:24:39.64\00:24:43.48
DEFINITELY A JOURNEY, WHERE I
DEFINITELY FELT GOD MOVING IN MY
00:24:43.48\00:24:47.65
LIFE AND PLACING ME
WHERE I NEEDED TO BE.
00:24:47.65\00:24:50.05
>> WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THAT, AND
PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN
00:24:50.05\00:24:53.49
THE LORD COMES INTO YOUR LIFE,
YOU HAVE TO PREPARE FOR A ROD
00:24:53.49\00:24:58.03
CALL CHANGE. HE
DOESN'T LET US GO OR BECOME
00:24:58.03\00:25:04.80
COMFORTABLE WHEN HIS VOICE
IS -- WHEN HE EXTENDS HIS CALL,
00:25:04.80\00:25:09.14
HE CREATES A DISCOMFORT. I
READ A DEVOTIONAL, WHERE IT
00:25:09.14\00:25:19.21
SAYS DON'T WAIT FOR GOD TO
TAKE YOU OUT OF UNCOMFORTABLE
00:25:19.21\00:25:24.19
SITUATIONS, BECAUSE YOU ARE
WHERE HE KNEW YOU WOULD BE, SO
00:25:24.19\00:25:27.32
HOLD ON TO THAT, I'M GOING TO
COME BACK TO ERIC HERE, BECAUSE
00:25:27.32\00:25:34.00
YOU SURVIVED THE CATHOLIC
PRIEST'S INTERVIEW, AND YOU SAID
00:25:34.00\00:25:38.07
THE LORD CONFIRMED IN THAT NIGHT
OR THAT DAY THAT YOU WERE MOVING
00:25:38.07\00:25:42.37
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,
HOW DID THAT CONFIRMATION COME?
00:25:42.37\00:25:46.44
>> SO BASICALLY WHEN -- WHEN I
HAD BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC OF, YOU
00:25:46.44\00:25:50.51
KNOW, WHY -- WHY DO
WE PRAY TO OTHER SAINTS?
00:25:50.51\00:25:53.72
AND THEN ALSO WHY -- WHY DO
WE NEED TO CONFESS OUR SINS.
00:25:53.72\00:25:58.45
I ALSO BROUGHT UP THE SABBATH,
AND I MENTIONED WHY DI THE
00:25:58.45\00:26:02.59
EARLY CHURCH MOVE THE
SABBATH FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY?
00:26:02.59\00:26:05.73
WHICH IS A FACT -- I MEAN
YOU CAN LOOK IT UP ON LINE.
00:26:05.73\00:26:09.63
IT IS JUST A HISTORICAL FACT,
AND HE MENTIONED THE SABBATH WAS
00:26:09.63\00:26:15.40
ALWAYS SUNDAY. AND I
KNEW -- I'M LIKE, OKAY.
00:26:15.40\00:26:18.71
THAT'S -- THAT'S JUST
NOT TRUE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:26:18.71\00:26:21.31
>> AND YOU KNOW --
ANYWAY HE ENDED UP DESCRIBING MY
00:26:21.31\00:26:25.98
BIBLE -- OH, YOU HAVE A NEW
KING JAMES THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT
00:26:25.98\00:26:32.52
BIBLE. AND I GAVE
HIM THE BENEFIT OF
00:26:32.52\00:26:34.76
THE DOUBT, SO I COMPARED ALL OF
THE VERSES, AND IT WAS THE SAME
00:26:34.76\00:26:41.70
THING. AND SO I
WAS LIKE, GOD, I THINK
00:26:41.70\00:26:44.67
I'M GOING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
00:26:44.67\00:26:46.27
SO THAT'S WHEN I STARTED
-- I WANTED TO LEARN MORE.
00:26:46.27\00:26:49.37
I CALLED THE PEOPLE UP TO GIVE
ME BIBLE STUDIES, AND IT WENT
00:26:49.37\00:26:55.21
FROM THERE, YEAH. FROM
THERE -- A YEAR LATER IS
00:26:55.21\00:26:59.75
ACTUALLY WHEN S.A.L.T.,
THE IDEA OF S.A.L.T. CAME.
00:26:59.75\00:27:02.95
AND -- AND THAT STARTED.
>> WHEN S.A.L.T. GOT STARTED,
00:27:02.95\00:27:06.52
DID YOU START IT TOGETHER OR DID
YOU START AND THEN GET LO-AMMI
00:27:06.52\00:27:11.63
LATER ON? >>
LO-AMMI AND I MET, I WANT TO
00:27:11.63\00:27:14.23
SAY THREE YEARS AGO. >> GYC --
00:27:14.23\00:27:17.73
>> GYC ORLANDO. AND
S.A.L.T. HAS BEEN AROUND
00:27:17.73\00:27:21.24
FOR -- GOING ON
SIX YEARS IN SEPTEMBER.
00:27:21.24\00:27:24.64
>> OKAY. BEFORE
WE GET TO YOU BOTH
00:27:24.64\00:27:27.24
MEETING IN S.A.L.T., CONTINUE
YOUR STORY, BECAUSE THE VOID,
00:27:27.24\00:27:30.58
THE LORD IS PULLING
YOU, THE BATTLE IS GOING ON.
00:27:30.58\00:27:33.92
WHAT WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR?
BECAUSE AS A YOUNG MAN RAISED IN
00:27:33.92\00:27:40.62
NEW YORK CITY, GANG FIGHTS,
GUNS, ALL OF THAT STUFF, YOU GET
00:27:40.62\00:27:44.03
TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW
THE LORD IS CALLING YOU, BUT YOU
00:27:44.03\00:27:47.76
HAVE TO GET TO THE POINT
WHERE YOU SAY, THAT'S IT.
00:27:47.76\00:27:51.13
>> I WAS WORKING AS A PERSONAL
TRAINER, AND TEACHING BOOT CAMP,
00:27:51.13\00:27:55.80
AND THINGS OF THAT SORT, AND
IN THE CLASS YOU HAVE TO PLAY
00:27:55.80\00:28:01.18
CERTAIN TYPE OF MUSIC. SO
I WAS KIND OF CONVICTED ON
00:28:01.18\00:28:05.08
SOME OF THE MUSIC I
WAS LISTENING TO ALREADY.
00:28:05.08\00:28:07.65
SO I LET THOSE GO, AND HELD
ON TO THE MORE POSITIVE ARTISTS.
00:28:07.65\00:28:13.69
BUT I WOULD HAVE MY DEVOTIONS IN
THE MORNING, AND THEN GO TEACH
00:28:13.69\00:28:18.29
THIS CLASS, AND HAVE
THIS SONG RINGING IN MY HEAD.
00:28:18.29\00:28:22.20
AND SO I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION,
AND ULTIMATELY AS I'M STILL
00:28:22.20\00:28:26.43
GOING, I WON'T
DRINK TO GET DRUNK.
00:28:26.43\00:28:29.30
I'LL JUST HAVE ONE BEER, I
JUST -- EVERYTHING JUST SEEMED
00:28:29.30\00:28:36.11
DIFFERENT. YOU ARE
DRINKING, BUT YOU ARE
00:28:36.11\00:28:38.11
NOT ENJOYING IT ANYMORE. IT
WAS ALMOST AS IF GOD REMOVED
00:28:38.11\00:28:43.82
THE VEIL, AND YOU REALLY
SEE -- >> HE OPENED YOUR EYES.
00:28:43.82\00:28:47.19
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THE
WHOLE WORLD VIEW CHANGES.
00:28:47.19\00:28:50.13
>> YEAH, THE WHOLE WORLD
VIEW CHANGES, AND I REMEMBER I
00:28:50.13\00:28:53.19
WAS -- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I
SHARED THIS, BUT I WAS GOING TO
00:28:53.19\00:28:56.97
A BIBLE COLLEGE
DURING THIS TIME.
00:28:56.97\00:28:59.03
AND FOR MY BIRTHDAY, MY FRIENDS
INVITED ME, AND THEY WANTED TO
00:28:59.03\00:29:03.91
CELEBRATE WITH ME. AND
I'M GOING TO A FOUR MONTH
00:29:03.91\00:29:08.04
EVANGELISTIC SCHOOL, AND I KNEW
IT WAS THE DEVIL TRYING TO WOO
00:29:08.04\00:29:14.38
ME BACK, BECAUSE EVERYTHING
THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE A
00:29:14.38\00:29:18.65
SUCCESSFUL NIGHT WAS THERE.
AND THERE WAS EVEN TEMPTATION OF
00:29:18.65\00:29:24.76
FORNICATION, AND IT NEVER
HAPPENED BEFORE, AND I WAS LIKE,
00:29:24.76\00:29:27.03
I CAN'T. AND I HAD
TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE
00:29:27.03\00:29:30.93
JOSEPH MOMENTS, WHERE I'M LIKE
I CAN'T KEEP HOLDING ON TO THE
00:29:30.93\00:29:37.31
LITTLE THINGS AND STILL
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
00:29:37.31\00:29:41.21
IT WAS AT THAT POINT, THAT I
REALIZED I HAVE TO BE FULL ON
00:29:41.21\00:29:45.68
TOWARDS GOD, SO THAT WAS KIND OF
MY WAKING UP MOMENT, WHERE YOU
00:29:45.68\00:29:50.45
KIND OF SEE
EVERYTHING FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.
00:29:50.45\00:29:52.39
YOU ARE PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE
YOU ARE READY TO THROW AWAY
00:29:52.39\00:29:56.36
EVERYTHING YOU JUST EXPERIENCED
FOR A MOMENT OF PLEASURE, AND I
00:29:56.36\00:29:59.59
WAS LIKE, NO, I DIDN'T DO IT.
SO THAT'S WHEN I MADE THE FINAL
00:29:59.59\00:30:03.37
DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> HOW LONG AFTER THAT DID YOU
00:30:03.37\00:30:06.27
GET BAPTIZED? >>
YEAH, I WAS WRESTLING WITH
00:30:06.27\00:30:09.14
THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE I ALWAYS
BELIEVED IN THE DOCTRINES OF THE
00:30:09.14\00:30:14.28
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, SO
I WRESTLED WITH WHETHER OR NOT
I-SHOULD BE BAPTIZED.
00:30:14.28\00:30:18.65
BUT IT WAS 2010 AFTER I
GRADUATED FROM LIFE, THE
00:30:18.65\00:30:23.05
EVANGELISTIC SCHOOL DOWN IN
FLORIDA THAT I MADE THE DECISION
00:30:23.05\00:30:25.32
TO BE BAPTIZED. AT
THAT POINT I WAS LIKE, YOU
00:30:25.32\00:30:28.19
KNOW, IF I'M GOING TO GO ON
THIS JOURNEY, I NEED TO MAKE A
00:30:28.19\00:30:33.53
RADICAL COMMITMENT, SO I
-- I DECIDED TO GET BAPTIZED.
00:30:33.53\00:30:37.77
>> CLEAN SLATE. >> CLEAN SLATE.
00:30:37.77\00:30:39.50
>> WOW. SO THE
LORD HAD -- YOU BOTH
00:30:39.50\00:30:42.44
HADN'T MET YET, BUT THE LORD WAS
PREPARING FOR A RADICAL -- NOT
00:30:42.44\00:30:46.74
ONLY A RADICAL CHANGE IN YOUR
LIFE, BUT A RADICAL DIRECTION.
00:30:46.74\00:30:54.45
OSWALD CHAMBER TALKS ABOUT THE
REVERSIBLE PAST, THOR REVISABLE
00:30:54.45\00:31:04.79
FUTURE. HOW DID
THE IDEA OF S.A.L.T.
00:31:04.79\00:31:07.03
COME TO YOU? YOU
MENTIONED THAT YOU READ THE
00:31:07.03\00:31:13.64
SERMON ON THE MOUNT. >>
YEAH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
00:31:13.64\00:31:19.41
STOOD OUT TO ME, DO NOT PRAY IN
VEIN REPETITION, THAT STOOD OUT
00:31:19.41\00:31:25.48
TO ME. BUT AS I -- YOU KNOW, I
00:31:25.48\00:31:29.88
BASICALLY HAD -- QUIT MY
JOB FOR THE SABBATH I WAS MAKING
00:31:29.88\00:31:33.46
LIKE -- CLOSE TO 50 WITH
COMMISSION, 22-YEAR-OLD KID, YOU
00:31:33.46\00:31:37.13
KNOW, NO COLLEGE EDUCATION, I'M
LIKE, WEARING THE SUIT GOING TO
00:31:37.13\00:31:41.46
MY DESK EVERY DAY OR WHATEVER.
I FELT LIKE I HAD REACHED A
00:31:41.46\00:31:45.70
CERTAIN POINT I WAS HAPPY ABOUT,
BUT THEY STARTED TO MAKE ME WORK
00:31:45.70\00:31:49.24
ON THE SABBATH AND THAT WAS
A HUGE BATTLE FOR ME, AND IN
00:31:49.24\00:31:53.01
FEBRUARY OF -- OF 2011 IS WHEN
I DECIDED TO QUIT, AND WITH $500
00:31:53.01\00:31:59.21
IN MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT,
I WAS ALREADY ON MY OWN.
00:31:59.21\00:32:02.88
I GREW SO MUCH IN THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD, BUT IT WAS THEN, THAT I
00:32:02.88\00:32:07.56
WAS LIKE, OKAY, GOD, I TRY
TO APPLY TO OTHER PLACES IN THE
00:32:07.56\00:32:15.96
SAME FIELD, AND NO ONE
WOULD GIVE ME THE SABBATH OFF.
00:32:15.96\00:32:20.14
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
SOMETHING HAPPENED AS WE WERE
00:32:20.14\00:32:25.24
DOING OUTREACH DOWNTOWN, AND IT
HAPPENED TO BE WITH A HOMELESS
00:32:25.24\00:32:30.41
WOMAN. AND SHE
BASICALLY PROPHETIZED
00:32:30.41\00:32:35.82
OVER ME AND SOME FRIENDS,
CONFIRMING A PRAYER THAT WE
00:32:35.82\00:32:42.09
PRAYED PRIOR. AND SHE
CONFIRMED THE SAME WORDS
00:32:42.09\00:32:45.69
THAT WE PRAYED SIX
HOURS PRIOR BACK TO US.
00:32:45.69\00:32:48.83
AND ONE OF THEM WAS, GOD, I
THINK YOU ARE CALLING ME TO BE A
00:32:48.83\00:32:52.90
PASTOR OF SOME SORT. AND
SO THEN I WAS LIKE, GOD, I
00:32:52.90\00:32:57.17
HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL.
SO I'M LIKE OKAY, TO BE A
00:32:57.17\00:33:01.44
PASTOR, I HAVE TO
GO TO SCHOOL, RIGHT?
00:33:01.44\00:33:03.95
AND I START THINKING IN THE
FUTURE, WHEN I GET THIS DEGREE,
00:33:03.95\00:33:08.08
I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO REACH
SO MANY PEOPLE, AND I'M THINKING
00:33:08.08\00:33:11.55
ABOUT THE FUTURE. BUT
AS I WAS STUDYING JOHN
00:33:11.55\00:33:17.76
CHAPTER 4, THE WOMAN AT THE
WELL, THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T BRING
00:33:17.76\00:33:26.67
ANY PEOPLE FROM THE
CITY BACK TO CHRIST.
00:33:26.67\00:33:29.57
AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY
HAD THEIR EYES FIXED ON A FUTURE
00:33:29.57\00:33:34.14
TIME. WHEN THAT
TIME COMES WE'RE GOING
00:33:34.14\00:33:36.31
TO DO SO MANY
GREAT THINGS FOR GOD.
00:33:36.31\00:33:38.35
SO I STARTED ASKING
MYSELF WHAT CAN I DO NOW?
00:33:38.35\00:33:41.12
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO
I STARTED TO LOOK AT WAYS
00:33:41.12\00:33:45.25
TO SUPPORT THE CHURCH.
WHAT CAN I DO TO REALLY HELP
00:33:45.25\00:33:50.46
SUPPORT OUR LOCAL CHURCHES,
AND THAT'S WHEN THE IDEA FOR
00:33:50.46\00:33:54.00
S.A.L.T. CAME.
AND WE CAME TOGETHER.
00:33:54.00\00:33:56.10
WE PRAYED FOR A NAME AND
S.A.L.T., THE ACRONYM WAS
00:33:56.10\00:34:00.44
SERVICE AND LOVE TOGETHER.
>> SERVICE AND LOVE TOGETHER.
00:34:00.44\00:34:02.87
>> YEP. >> I WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT ON WHAT
00:34:02.87\00:34:05.61
YOU JUST SAID, A LOT OF
PEOPLE LISTENING AND WATCHING,
00:34:05.61\00:34:08.81
SOMETIMES WE ARE KNOCKING
ON DOORS THAT GOD HAS LOCKED.
00:34:08.81\00:34:13.72
AND WE GET FRUSTRATED, BECAUSE
WE SAY, WELL, WHY COULDN'T I
00:34:13.72\00:34:18.12
FIND A JOB THAT WILL GIVE ME THE
SABBATH OFF IN THE SAME FIELD,
00:34:18.12\00:34:22.89
AND HAVING SOME OF THE
SIMILAR -- THIS IS WHAT I MIGHT
00:34:22.89\00:34:27.00
REFER TO AS A VICARIOUS MOMENT,
BECAUSE I'M HEARING MY LIFE ALL
00:34:27.00\00:34:33.47
OVER AGAIN. INSURANCE
COMPANY SAYS IT'S TIME
00:34:33.47\00:34:37.24
TO WORK ON THE SABBATH.
>> I WAS IN FINANCE TOO.
00:34:37.24\00:34:40.64
>> I SAID YOU CAN SCHEDULE
ME, BUT I'M NOT SHOWING UP.
00:34:40.64\00:34:44.05
SCHEDULED ME, I DIDN'T SHOW UP.
AND THEY SAID YOU HAVE ONE MORE
00:34:44.05\00:34:49.95
CHANCE. AND THEY
SCHEDULED ME AGAIN AND
00:34:49.95\00:34:52.15
I GOT FIRED. SO I
LOST TWO JOBS FOR NOT
00:34:52.15\00:34:55.22
WORKING ON THE SABBATH, BUT WHEN
THE LORD CLOSES A DOOR, DON'T
00:34:55.22\00:34:59.63
TRY TO KICK IT DOWN, BECAUSE
IF IT'S NOT OPENING, HE DOESN'T
00:34:59.63\00:35:03.97
WANT YOU TO WALK
THROUGH IT. HE HAS OTHER PLANS.
00:35:03.97\00:35:07.47
AND ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO
KNOW HE HAS A PLAN FOR US.
00:35:07.47\00:35:10.37
HE SAYS I KNOW THE THOUGHTS
AND PLANS I HAVE FO YOU.
00:35:10.37\00:35:15.31
SO S.A.L.T. IS WHAT
THE LORD LEAD YOU TO.
00:35:15.31\00:35:19.05
AND WHEN THE S.A.L.T. GOT
STARTED -- YOU GUYS DIDN'T MEET
00:35:19.05\00:35:22.92
YET? >> UH-HUH.
00:35:22.92\00:35:23.75
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IN
THE MEANTIME WHAT JOURNEY
00:35:23.75\00:35:26.49
WAS YOUR LIFE TAKING IN THE
THREE YEARS THAT S.A.L.T. WAS
00:35:26.49\00:35:30.99
GOING BEFORE YOU GET ERIC.
>> YEAH, AFTER I GRADUATED FROM
00:35:30.99\00:35:34.86
THE BIBLE COLLEGE, I TOLD
THE LORD THERE'S NO WAY I CAN
00:35:34.86\00:35:40.77
CONTINUE MY GROWTH AND
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IF I STAY
00:35:40.77\00:35:45.37
IN ORLANDO, I KNOW TOO MANY
PEOPLE, SO THE LORD OPENED UP
00:35:45.37\00:35:49.84
THE DOOR FOR ME
TO GO TO CALIFORNIA.
00:35:49.84\00:35:52.75
I WORKED FO ISIU FOR
JESUS DURING THAT TIME.
00:35:52.75\00:35:56.48
AND IT WAS INTERESTING THAT THE
LORD -- ALL OF THE FRIENDS THAT
00:35:56.48\00:36:00.22
I HAD TO LET GO OF, THE LORD
REPLACED IT WITH A NEW SET OF
00:36:00.22\00:36:04.93
FRIENDS THAT WAS ABLE TO
ENCOURAGE ME, AND WE WERE ABLE
00:36:04.93\00:36:08.06
TO SHARPEN EACH OTHER
-- WITH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:36:08.06\00:36:10.63
AND THEN I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL
TO WORK AS A BIBLE WORKER, SLASH
00:36:10.63\00:36:17.14
CHAPLAIN AND BIBLE TEACHER
AT HERITAGE ACADEMY IN TENNESSEE
00:36:17.14\00:36:22.68
WHERE I MET THE CASPER
LATER DOWN THE ROAD THAT YOU ARE
00:36:22.68\00:36:25.91
FAMILIAR WITH. >> YES.
00:36:25.91\00:36:27.38
>> I'M THERE FOR A FEW YEARS,
THE LORD IS WORKING, BUT I
00:36:27.38\00:36:31.25
ALWAYS WENT BACK TO ORLANDO AND
VISITED DURING THE SUMMER, SO
00:36:31.25\00:36:35.66
ERIC AND I
ALWAYS MET EACH OTHER --
00:36:35.66\00:36:37.63
>> CASUALLY. >>
CASUALLY, BUT NOTHING THAT I
00:36:37.63\00:36:41.23
FELT COMPELLED
TO STAY IN ORLANDO.
00:36:41.23\00:36:44.83
SO THAT'S WHERE I WAS AT. I
WAS WORKING AS A CHAPLAIN IN
00:36:44.83\00:36:50.87
TENNESSEE DURING THAT TIME THAT
S.A.L.T. WAS BEING ESTABLISHED.
00:36:50.87\00:36:53.48
>> SO WITH ALL OF THIS MONEY
IN THE BANK, AND ALL OF THE
00:36:53.48\00:36:57.58
RESOURCES YOU NEEDED TO GET
S.A.L.T. STARTED, TELL US WHEN
00:36:57.58\00:37:01.05
THE LORD MADE IT REALLY CLEAR TO
YOU, THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO
00:37:01.05\00:37:04.65
DO? YOU TALKED
ABOUT SEEING A NEED.
00:37:04.65\00:37:07.26
TALK ABOUT THAT. >>
YEAH, SO -- YOU KNOW, AND LET
00:37:07.26\00:37:10.93
ME MAKE A COMMENT ON
THIS, YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF
00:37:10.93\00:37:14.63
PEOPLE -- AND WE'RE SEEING THIS
A LOT IN ORLANDO, SPECIALLY,
00:37:14.63\00:37:18.83
THEY SEE ISSUES WITH THE CHURCH.
THEY SEE THIS IS GOING ON WITH
00:37:18.83\00:37:22.00
THE CHURCH. THIS
IS GOING ON WITH THE
00:37:22.00\00:37:24.57
CHURCH. WE JUST
HEARD I'M NOT GIVING MY
00:37:24.57\00:37:30.75
TITHE TO THE CHURCH. AND
SO AT THEN OF THE DAY, WHAT
00:37:30.75\00:37:33.98
ARE WE DOING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
00:37:33.98\00:37:36.32
IF WE ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN
ABOUT THE CHURCH, WHAT ARE WE
00:37:36.32\00:37:40.09
DOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE TO MAKE IT BETTER?
00:37:40.09\00:37:42.69
>> RIGHT. >> TO IMPROVE IT.
00:37:42.69\00:37:44.96
SO AS I WAS NOTICING SOME
THINGS, ONE THING IN PARTICULAR,
00:37:44.96\00:37:48.20
I NOTICED THAT I HAD LEARNED
THERE WERE TWO CONFERENCES IN
00:37:48.20\00:37:54.84
ORLANDO. FLORIDA CONFERENCE AND
00:37:54.84\00:37:57.81
SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE.
AND I NOTICED THAT SOUTHEASTERN
00:37:57.81\00:38:01.21
CONFERENCE HAD THEIR OWN
REPRESENTS, FLORIDA CONFERENCE
00:38:01.21\00:38:05.15
HAD THEIR OWN EVENTS. BUT
THERE WAS NOTHING TO BRING
00:38:05.15\00:38:09.22
THE PEOPLE
TOGETHER. THAT WAS ONE.
00:38:09.22\00:38:11.12
SO THAT LACK OF UNITY.
AND EVEN CHURCHES -- AND, YOU
00:38:11.12\00:38:14.99
KNOW, I WON'T SAY NAMES, BUT
THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT'S VERY
00:38:14.99\00:38:18.89
DIFFICULT FOR CHURCHES TO WORK
TOGETHER BECAUSE -- MAYBE THEY
00:38:18.89\00:38:22.26
ARE AFRAID OF LOSING
THEIR YOUNG ADULTS --
00:38:22.26\00:38:26.27
>> TERRITORIAL. >> YEAH.
00:38:26.27\00:38:27.87
SO UNITY WAS A MAIN
THING I WANTED TO ADDRESS.
00:38:27.87\00:38:31.61
ANOTHER THING WAS THE LACK
OF PRACTICAL OUTREACH PROJECTS.
00:38:31.61\00:38:36.71
I DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF
THAT. SO I WAS LIKE, OKAY, LET'S
00:38:36.71\00:38:41.18
CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE
TO GET INVOLVED IN PRACTICAL
00:38:41.18\00:38:45.15
COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE
THIRD THING WAS IF THERE
00:38:45.15\00:38:48.39
WERE COMMUNITY OUTREACH
PROJECTS, IT WASN'T CONSISTENT,
00:38:48.39\00:38:52.99
AND THERE WERE NO
RELATIONSHIPS BEING BUILT.
00:38:52.99\00:38:55.73
WE NEED TO CREATE RELATIONSHIPS
AND FRIENDSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE
00:38:55.73\00:39:00.40
WE ARE REACHING, GENUINE
FRIENDSHIPS, AND MEET THE NEEDS
00:39:00.40\00:39:04.11
OF THESE PEOPLE AS WELL
TO REALLY SHOW WHO CHRIST IS.
00:39:04.11\00:39:08.44
>> NOT JUST
THESE LARGE REPRESENTS.
00:39:08.44\00:39:12.55
PEOPLE WORK HARD FOR FOUR WEEKS
AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, I'M GLAD
00:39:12.55\00:39:16.42
THAT IS OVER. AND
THEN THEY GO BACK TO
00:39:16.42\00:39:20.46
COMATOSE. >> EXACTLY.
00:39:20.46\00:39:22.12
>> WHICH GOD NEVER
INTENDED. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:39:22.12\00:39:24.59
>> SO S.A.L.T. IS DEVELOPING
NOW, AND SO YOU ARE SEEING ALL
00:39:24.59\00:39:28.00
OF THESE THINGS, PEOPLE
COMPLAINING ON ONE END, BUT
00:39:28.00\00:39:31.73
DOING NOTHING TO BETTER
IT. TERRITORIALISM, PEOPLE HAVE
00:39:31.73\00:39:36.40
THEIR OWN CLICKS IN THE
CHURCHES, BUT THERE IS A GREAT
00:39:36.40\00:39:39.47
NEED IN THE COMMUNITY, AND
S.A.L.T., GOD IS STIRRING THE
00:39:39.47\00:39:44.25
POT IN YOUR LIFE. >> RIGHT.
00:39:44.25\00:39:45.91
RIGHT. AND ONE
-- I THINK ANOTHER
00:39:45.91\00:39:47.88
IMPORTANT THING THAT WE SAW WAS
A LACK OF YOUNG ADULTS IN THE
00:39:47.88\00:39:52.12
CHURCH, AND THAT'S CONSTANTLY
SPOKEN ABOUT FROM ALL DIFFERENT
00:39:52.12\00:39:55.42
PLACES, AND ONE OF THE THINGS
WAS, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS A
00:39:55.42\00:40:00.76
CHURCH THAT HAS THREE
YOUNG ADULTS, ANOTHER WITH FIVE,
00:40:00.76\00:40:05.43
ANOTHER WITH SEVEN, WHAT VENT
IS BRINGING THEM ALL TOGETHER IN
00:40:05.43\00:40:09.94
ONE PLACE SO THEY CAN
CREATE UNITY WITH EACH OTHER.
00:40:09.94\00:40:16.44
WHEN YOU GO TO OUR
HOMELESS OUTREACH, THERE ARE TEN
00:40:16.44\00:40:24.39
DIFFERENT CHURCHES
REPRESENTED, AT LEAST.
00:40:24.39\00:40:26.59
SO YOU CAN BRING YOUR FRIEND
FROM WORK OR SCHOOL, AND THEY
00:40:26.59\00:40:29.42
CAN SEE A YOUNG ADULT COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE A NETWORK OF SMALL
00:40:29.42\00:40:33.29
GROUPS AS WELL, AND THEY CAN SEE
THE 20, 25 YOUNG ADULTS COMING
00:40:33.29\00:40:38.40
TOGETHER TO STUDY THE
WORD TOGETHER, BUT WITHOUT
00:40:38.40\00:40:42.54
THAT -- YOU KNOW, S.A.L.T.
IS A SUPPORTING MINISTRY OF THE
00:40:42.54\00:40:46.54
ADVENTIST CHURCH, SO WE'RE
ABLE TO BRING PEOPLE FROM ALL
00:40:46.54\00:40:51.31
DIFFERENT CULTURES, CHURCHES
TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE, NOT JUST
00:40:51.31\00:40:55.38
TO HANG OUT, AND NOT EVEN JUST
TO WORSHIP, BUT TO DO OUTREACH
00:40:55.38\00:41:00.96
TOGETHER. >> SO
YOU ARE A SUPPORTING
00:41:00.96\00:41:03.36
MINISTRY? >> YEAH.
00:41:03.36\00:41:04.06
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL TO MENTION.
BECAUSE PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE
00:41:04.06\00:41:08.30
PROGRAM AND THINK INDEPENDENT
MINISTRY THERE, INDEPENDENT
00:41:08.30\00:41:14.87
MINISTRY THERE. AND
3ABN IS ALSO A SUPPORTING
00:41:14.87\00:41:20.41
MINISTRY OF THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:41:20.41\00:41:27.72
AND YOU FUNCTION
ALL THROUGH DONATIONS.
00:41:27.72\00:41:31.52
>> RIGHT. >> NOW
AT WHAT POINT DID YOU
00:41:31.52\00:41:35.39
SAY, THIS NEEDS TO BE MY
DEDICATION IN MY LIFE WORK AT
00:41:35.39\00:41:39.03
THIS POINT IN MY LIFE?
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT, I
00:41:39.03\00:41:45.93
REALIZED AS I GOT MORE AND MORE
INVOLVED WITH THE MINISTRY, AND
00:41:45.93\00:41:49.84
AS MORE AND MORE THINGS KEPT
HAPPENING, MY TALENTS THAT WERE
00:41:49.84\00:41:54.04
USED IN THE WORLD, THEY NEEDED
TO COME OVER AND BE USED FOR
00:41:54.04\00:41:57.75
GOD. AND IF I
DIDN'T USE THE FULL
00:41:57.75\00:42:00.82
POTENTIAL OF WHAT I HAVE TO
OFFER FOR GOD FOR HIM THEN THE
00:42:00.82\00:42:05.15
ENEMY IS USING IT.
THEN IT COULD BE -- YOU KNOW
00:42:05.15\00:42:07.79
WHAT I'M SAYING? SO I
-- I HAD TO -- I HAVE TO
00:42:07.79\00:42:11.66
PUT MY ALL INTO THIS,
NOT -- NOT -- NOT FOR MYSELF,
00:42:11.66\00:42:15.66
BUT IT'S FOR GOD AND FOR HIS
GLORY, IN ORDER -- THE PASSION
00:42:15.66\00:42:21.20
FOR WINNING SOULS ULTIMATELY, IS
THE REASON WHY I WANT TO PUT MY
00:42:21.20\00:42:26.24
ALL INTO IT.
BECAUSE THIS METHOD OF
00:42:26.24\00:42:30.08
EVANGELISM, I'M SO PASSIONATE
ABOUT IN SPREADING THAT IT'S
00:42:30.08\00:42:33.35
ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. IT'S
ABOUT MEETING THEIR NEEDS,
00:42:33.35\00:42:36.82
WINNING THEIR CONFIDENCE,
AND THEN BIDDING THM TO FOLLOW
00:42:36.82\00:42:40.96
CHRIST. SO MANY
EVANGELISTIC EFFORTS ARE
00:42:40.96\00:42:43.59
OUT THERE WITHOUT CREATING
THAT FRIENDSHIP, YOU KNOW?
00:42:43.59\00:42:46.36
>> UH-HUH. >> AND WE
NEED TO -- WE NEED TO
00:42:46.36\00:42:50.43
CHANGE. >> OKAY.
00:42:50.43\00:42:51.10
LET ME BRING -- I'M GOING TO
BRING LO-AMMI IN HERE IN JUST A
00:42:51.10\00:42:56.44
MOMENT. YOU
MENTIONED THE WORD, WHY.
00:42:56.44\00:42:58.97
AND YOU ANSWERED IT,
THE PASSION FOR SOULS.
00:42:58.97\00:43:02.44
IF YOU DON'T ANSWER
THE WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.
00:43:02.44\00:43:08.78
YOU JUST BECOME A WHAT
YOU DO, BUT NOT WHY YOU DO IT.
00:43:08.78\00:43:13.89
AND THIS IS ALMOST -- IN
BUSINESSES, FAITH COMMUNITIES.
00:43:13.89\00:43:17.49
PEOPLE SAY WHAT DO YOU DO?
THEY DON'T SAY WHY DO YOU DO IT?
00:43:17.49\00:43:22.20
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
WE DON'T SAY WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
00:43:22.20\00:43:26.30
WHEN YOU BEGIN WITH THE WHY, YOU
HAVE TO COME UP WITH AN ANSWER?
00:43:26.30\00:43:31.51
WHY AM I A CHRISTIAN, WHEN YOU
BEGIN WITH WHY, THEN YOU CAN GO
00:43:31.51\00:43:36.75
BACK TO THIS IS WHY, AND THIS
IS HOW I BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
00:43:36.75\00:43:41.48
IT ISN'T WHAT I BELIEVE, IT'S
BECAUSE OF WHAT I DO WHAT I DO.
00:43:41.48\00:43:46.25
AND THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
AND I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT.
00:43:46.25\00:43:48.79
I WAS THINKING IS ERIC GOING TO
SAY WHY DOES HE DO WHAT HE DOES.
00:43:48.79\00:43:54.96
THE PASSION FOR SOULS.
THE PASSION FOR RELATIONSHIPS
00:43:54.96\00:43:58.13
THAT WILL LAST. >> RIGHT.
00:43:58.13\00:44:00.67
>> SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY,
THE LORD SAID HEY, I HAVE BEEN
00:44:00.67\00:44:06.24
WORKING ON LO-AMMI,
NOW GUYS NEED TO MEET.
00:44:06.24\00:44:09.91
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? >>
WELL, IT WAS INTERESTING, THE
00:44:09.91\00:44:13.68
MAJORITY OF FRIENDS WE HAVE
WITHIN MINISTRY, THE CONVERSION
00:44:13.68\00:44:17.15
STARTED TO TAKE
PLACE ABOUT 2009, 2010.
00:44:17.15\00:44:22.06
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WE TALK TO,
THEIR CONVERSION WAS AROUND THAT
00:44:22.06\00:44:27.66
TIME FRAME. BUT AT
THIS POINT, I WAS LACK IN
00:44:27.66\00:44:30.43
ORLANDO, AND I WAS WORKING
WITH -- FOR GYC EVANGELISM, I
00:44:30.43\00:44:37.07
WAS IN CHARGE OF
SERVICE PROJECTS.
00:44:37.07\00:44:39.54
GYC WAS GOING TO -- WAS GOING
TO START DOING SERVICE PROJECTS
00:44:39.54\00:44:44.61
FEEDING THE HOMELESS AND
DOING -- WHAT I SAY A 58 MODEL
00:44:44.61\00:44:50.35
OF EVANGELISM, AND ERIC WAS
THERE REPRESENTING S.A.L.T. AT
00:44:50.35\00:44:54.59
ONE OF THE LOCAL CHURCHES,
SO HE WAS THERE, AND I WAS THERE
00:44:54.59\00:44:58.99
REPRESENTING GYC, AND WE KIND OF
HIT IT OFF, AND THEN WE WENT TO
00:44:58.99\00:45:05.83
TACO BELL AFTER THE AY AND WE
HIT IT OFF, AND WE ALWAYS TALKED
00:45:05.83\00:45:09.87
ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER, BUT
IT NEVER WORKED OUT THE WAY WE
00:45:09.87\00:45:14.08
WANTED IT TO UNTIL LAST YEAR.
AND IT WAS PERFECT FIT, PERFECT
00:45:14.08\00:45:18.41
TIMING FOR US TO
COLLABORATE, AND WORK TOGETHER.
00:45:18.41\00:45:28.16
>> WHEN DID YOU SAY THIS IS
SOMETHING I CAN COMMITMENT TO?
00:45:28.16\00:45:31.86
>> YEAH, I HAVE HAD THE
-OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS A
CHAPLAIN AND BIBLE WORKER
00:45:31.86\00:45:37.00
THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, I INTERNED
WITH REVELATION OF HOPE, AND SAW
00:45:37.00\00:45:40.80
THE IMPACT THAT HE HAD -- JUST
THE SERIES -- THE IMPACT THE
00:45:40.80\00:45:45.14
SERIES HAD IN HAWAII, SO I JUST
FINISHED UP MY STINT IN MICHIGAN
00:45:45.14\00:45:51.08
AS A CAP CHAPLAIN
AT GREAT LAKES ACADEMY.
00:45:51.08\00:45:56.79
AND THE LORD SAID GO BACK HOME.
AND I WAS LIKE, MAN, IT HAS BEEN
00:45:56.79\00:46:02.79
SIX YEARS SINCE
I HAVE BEEN HOME.
00:46:02.79\00:46:05.13
AND THEN I TALKED TO ERIC, AND
I WAS LIKE, ERIC, MY PASSION IS
00:46:05.13\00:46:12.77
EVANGELISM, GOD HAS GIVEN ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, BUT THERE
00:46:12.77\00:46:17.47
WAS NOHING TO
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE TOO.
00:46:17.47\00:46:19.97
IT WAS LIKE I WAS A ONE-MAN
SHOW, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
00:46:19.97\00:46:24.08
REPRESENT SOMETHING THAT
IS GREATER AND BIGGER THAN ME.
00:46:24.08\00:46:26.65
SO WHEN I TALKED TO ERIC,
ERIC IS LIKE, MAN, THE ONE THING
00:46:26.65\00:46:31.05
WE'RE DOING IS ALL OF THIS
SERVICE, BUT WE'RE NOT PLUGGING
00:46:31.05\00:46:38.06
INTO ANYTHING SO WE CAN
HARVEST THEM INTO THE KINGDOM.
00:46:38.06\00:46:43.03
SO I'M A HARVEST DIRECTOR.
>> SO DO YOU WORK IN THE
00:46:43.03\00:46:49.20
SPRING -- >> ALL YEAR-ROUND.
00:46:49.20\00:46:52.51
[ LAUGHTER ] >> SO
THE PLAN WAS TO -- ALL OF
00:46:52.51\00:46:55.21
THE MINISTRIES WE HAVE, FROM OUR
HOMELESS HOSPITAL MINISTRY TO
00:46:55.21\00:47:00.98
OUR KIDS MINISTRY, WAS LEADING
TO ONE EVENT WHERE WE COULD
00:47:00.98\00:47:07.22
CONTACT THEM TO THEIR LOCAL
CHURCHES, SO WE CAN BE AN ASSET
00:47:07.22\00:47:10.63
TO THE CHURCHES, AND SEE
THE KINGDOM GROW FROM THERE.
00:47:10.63\00:47:16.00
>> THAT'S INTERESTING.
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMS WE LIGHT
00:47:16.00\00:47:18.87
THE FLAME. WE GET
PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT
00:47:18.87\00:47:21.24
SOMETHING, BUT IT'S LIKE A
LONG RACE AND THERE IS NO FINISH
00:47:21.24\00:47:26.17
LINE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:47:26.17\00:47:30.68
PERPETUAL BIBLE STUDIERS.
BUT THEY NEVER GOT HARVESTED.
00:47:30.68\00:47:36.28
SO S.A.L.T. IS ABOUT PLANTING
SEEDS AND WONDERFUL PROGRAMS,
00:47:36.28\00:47:39.62
BUT YOU ALWAYS
HAVE A GOAL IN MIND.
00:47:39.62\00:47:42.39
>> EXACTLY. >> GOD
-- YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
00:47:42.39\00:47:45.39
SAYS ONE PLANTS -- PAUL [
INAUDIBLE ] BUT GOD GAVE THE
00:47:45.39\00:47:50.77
INCREASE. >> UH-HUH.
00:47:50.77\00:47:51.50
>> SO THE TIMING OF THE INCREASE
FOR THE HARVEST IS IN GOD'S
00:47:51.50\00:47:55.74
DIRECTION, BUT YOU MUST DO WHAT
GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO, TO
00:47:55.74\00:47:59.44
PLANT AND WATER. SO
TALK ABOUT HOW YOU DO THAT
00:47:59.44\00:48:01.78
TOGETHER. BECAUSE
YOU WENT BACK HOME -- I
00:48:01.78\00:48:04.11
WAS SMILING EARLIER IN THE
PROGRAM FOR A PARTICULAR REASON,
00:48:04.11\00:48:08.65
BECAUSE YOU SAID THE LORD HAD TO
TAKE YOU AWAY TO GET YOU GOING.
00:48:08.65\00:48:12.65
AND YOU WERE IN
ORLANDO, AND HE TOOK YOU WHERE?
00:48:12.65\00:48:15.82
>> RIGHT, TO
CALIFORNIA. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:48:15.82\00:48:18.99
>> VERY RARELY DO I MENTION
SOMETHING ABOUT MYSELF BECAUSE
00:48:18.99\00:48:23.00
IT IS ABOUT THE GUEST, BUT
THERE ARE SO MANY PARALLELS
00:48:23.00\00:48:27.10
THAT -- I'M USING AN OLD
TERM -- THAT ARE FLIPPING ME
00:48:27.10\00:48:33.41
OUT. BECAUSE MY
WIFE AND I LIVED IN
00:48:33.41\00:48:36.81
ORLANDO, AND THEY SAID LORD,
WE WANT TO BE IN MINISTRY, BUT
00:48:36.81\00:48:41.65
ANYWHERE BUT CALIFORNIA.
AND HE TOOK US THERE.
00:48:41.65\00:48:47.12
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
HAVE YOU NOTICED, THOUGH,
00:48:47.12\00:48:49.82
THAT IT IS HARD TO GROW
AROUND THE FAMILIAR PEOPLE.
00:48:49.82\00:48:52.33
>> IT'S TRUE. >>
BECAUSE THEY REMEMBER WHO YOU
00:48:52.33\00:48:57.33
WERE, NOT WHO GOD
WANTS YOU TO BECOME?
00:48:57.33\00:49:00.60
HOW WAS THAT? >>
CALIFORNIA WAS A DIFFERENT
00:49:00.60\00:49:03.51
GROUP OF PEOPLE. I
STILL HAVE PEOPLE THAT I
00:49:03.51\00:49:06.74
CONTACT WITH ON AT LEAST MONTHLY
BASIS, BUT IT'S A VERY SECULAR
00:49:06.74\00:49:12.38
MIND SET, YOU KIND OF TRAIN
TO -- WHEN YOU CONNECT WITH
00:49:12.38\00:49:16.18
PEOPLE, THEY ALREADY HAVE
SOME BELIEF IN GOD, AND WHEN YOU
00:49:16.18\00:49:19.12
KNOCK ON THE DOOR, DO
YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, NO?
00:49:19.12\00:49:24.26
YOU DON'T? AND THAT
HAPPENS MORE AND MORE.
00:49:24.26\00:49:26.73
SO WHAT THE LORD WAS TEACHING
ME IN CALIFORNIA IS HE WASN'T
00:49:26.73\00:49:31.60
NECESSARILY PREPARING ME
TO EVANGELIZE THE SOULS IN THE
00:49:31.60\00:49:36.94
COMMUNITY, BUT THE SEE DYNAMICS
OF THE CHURCH, YOU KNOW, THE
00:49:36.94\00:49:41.14
LABELS THAT WE SOMETIMES USE,
AND IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE
00:49:41.14\00:49:46.35
I'M LIKE, LORD WHY AM I HERE?
BECAUSE I WAS PASSIONATE AND I'M
00:49:46.35\00:49:52.02
TRYING TO TEACH IT, AND THERE'S
PUSH BACK FROM EVERYWHERE I'M
00:49:52.02\00:49:58.19
TURNING,
CONSERVATIVES, LIBERALS --
00:49:58.19\00:50:00.90
>> EVERYTHING IN
BETWEEN. >> YEAH.
00:50:00.90\00:50:02.96
I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE
GIVE THEIR HEARTS TO JESUS, AND
00:50:02.96\00:50:07.20
NOW YOU ARE TELLING MOVIE
TO GO THROUGH THESE LOOPS.
00:50:07.20\00:50:10.17
IT WAS ALL OF THE POLITICS THAT
I BELIEVE THE LORD PREPARED ME
00:50:10.17\00:50:16.98
TO DEAL WITH AS I MATURED.
SO MY EXPERIENCE IN CALIFORNIA
00:50:16.98\00:50:22.25
WAS THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE AS
MOSES HAD, AND THE LORD REFINED
00:50:22.25\00:50:27.59
ME, AND THE HE PREPARED ME TO
BE A CHAPLAIN AT VARIOUS PLACES,
00:50:27.59\00:50:33.16
AND THEN HE LEAD
ME BACK TO ORLANDO.
00:50:33.16\00:50:36.10
I'M MORE BETTER PREPARED TO DEAL
WITH THE POLITICS THAN I DID
00:50:36.10\00:50:40.60
BEFORE. THAT'S
WHAT THE LORD SHOWED ME
00:50:40.60\00:50:42.54
IN CALIFORNIA. THEY
ARE VERY UNIQUE PEOPLE,
00:50:42.54\00:50:46.94
THEY ARE KIND OF LAX.
>> YEAH, CALIFORNIA IS A
00:50:46.94\00:50:52.78
PERPETUAL -- FOR THE MOST PART
CALIFORNIA IS A CONSTANT MOVING
00:50:52.78\00:50:56.75
ENVIRONMENT, STARBUCKS, MOVIE
HERE, MALL THERE, AND THESE ARE
00:50:56.75\00:51:01.26
NOT BLANKET STATEMENTS BECAUSE
WE LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR A
00:51:01.26\00:51:04.66
WHILE, BUT IT IS QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM THE NORTHEAST AND THE
00:51:04.66\00:51:07.46
SOUTHEAST AND THE MIDWEST, EVERY
PLACE HAS ITS OWN CULTURE, BUT
00:51:07.46\00:51:11.73
THE ONE THING THAT IS TRUE ABOUT
EVERYWHERE YOU GO IS THERE ARE
00:51:11.73\00:51:16.54
PEOPLE THAT NEED TO
BE REACHED FOR CHRIST.
00:51:16.54\00:51:19.31
>> ABSOLUTELY. >>
SO THE LORD BRINGS YOU
00:51:19.31\00:51:23.91
TOGETHER, AND WHERE
DOES HE TAKE YOU FROM THERE?
00:51:23.91\00:51:26.85
>> YEAH, AS HE MENTIONED THE
HARVEST DEPARTMENT WAS CREATED.
00:51:26.85\00:51:31.59
WE HAD DONE AN EVANGELISTIC
SERIES TWO YEARS PRIOR, WHICH WE
00:51:31.59\00:51:36.19
DID RIGHT NEXT TO THE SECTION
8 COMPLEX THAT WE HAD BEEN
00:51:36.19\00:51:40.56
MINISTERING TO THE KIDS AND
FAMILIES THERE, AND THERE WERE
00:51:40.56\00:51:45.10
FIVE SOULS THAT WERE BAPTIZED
FROM THAT SMALL SERIES THAT WE
00:51:45.10\00:51:51.81
DID. IT WAS A
SMALL SERIES, BUT THERE
00:51:51.81\00:51:54.58
NEEDED TO BE A PARTICULAR
PERSON, YOU KNOW, TO FIT THAT
00:51:54.58\00:51:57.75
ROLE. SO ANYWAY
-- SO THEN WE TALKED
00:51:57.75\00:52:00.15
AND THAT ENDED UP
HAPPENING -- THAT CONNECTION
00:52:00.15\00:52:02.85
HAPPENED, AND SO -- I MEAN FROM
HERE, WE HAVE SERIES COMING UP
00:52:02.85\00:52:09.89
ON JUNE 30TH IS
WHEN IT'S STARTING.
00:52:09.89\00:52:12.83
WE'RE WORKING ON RAISING
THE REST OF THE FUNDS FOR THAT.
00:52:12.83\00:52:15.70
BUT WE'RE CREATING -- RIGHT
NOW THE BIG PUSH THIS YEAR IS
00:52:15.70\00:52:19.93
CREATING PROGRAMS THAT
-- THAT CAN BE MEASURED.
00:52:19.93\00:52:23.51
BECAUSE HAD WE SEEN SOULS
COME TO CHRIST AS A RESULT FROM
00:52:23.51\00:52:26.44
OUR -- MAYBE THE LEADER'S
PERSONAL MINISTRIES WITH THE
00:52:26.44\00:52:29.71
PEOPLE WE'RE INTERACTING WITH,
OR THE VOLUNTEERS EVEN, YOU
00:52:29.71\00:52:33.95
KNOW, YES, WE HAVE.
BUT IT HASN'T BEEN IN A
00:52:33.95\00:52:37.39
MEASURABLE WAY. >> RIGHT.
00:52:37.39\00:52:38.55
>> SO DOING SOMETHING LIKE AN
EVANGELISTIC SERIES EVERY YEAR,
00:52:38.55\00:52:44.46
HELPS US MEASURE AS FAR AS
THE SOUL-WINNING ASPECT GOES.
00:52:44.46\00:52:48.43
THE PROGRAM IS GOING TO HELP US
MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF NEED THAT
00:52:48.43\00:52:53.67
WE'RE MEETING
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
00:52:53.67\00:52:54.90
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE IN
THE PROCESS OF CREATING A
00:52:54.90\00:52:58.91
HOMELESS -- MOBILOUT REACH
CENTER THAT INVOLVES -- WE JUST
00:52:58.91\00:53:04.55
FINISHED FUND-RAISING
FOR OUR CLOTHING TRAILER.
00:53:04.55\00:53:08.32
WE REALIZED THERE WAS A SERVICE
GAP FOR A DRESS CLOTHING IN
00:53:08.32\00:53:12.82
DOWNTOWN. SO WE'RE LIKE, OKAY.
00:53:12.82\00:53:14.86
WE'LL BRING IT TO THEM, AND
WE'LL ALSO HAVE OTHER CLOTHING
00:53:14.86\00:53:18.36
AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS IN THERE.
THE SHOWER TRAILER -- WE JUST
00:53:18.36\00:53:24.17
HAD SOMEONE DONATE
$17,500 AS A MATCHING GRANT.
00:53:24.17\00:53:27.50
>> WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THAT IN THE SECOND HOUR.
00:53:27.50\00:53:29.77
>> UH-HUH. >>
BECAUSE THESE -- WHAT I LIKE
00:53:29.77\00:53:32.51
ABOUT THAT -- AND YOU GUYS ARE
YOUNG -- YOU ARE IN YOUR 20S.
00:53:32.51\00:53:36.14
>> THANK YOU. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:53:36.14\00:53:37.65
>> WELL, WE DON'T
HAVE TO PUBLISH YOUR AGE.
00:53:37.65\00:53:40.22
>> THAT'S WHY I SAID THANK
YOU. >> BUT YOU ARE A YOUNG MAN.
00:53:40.22\00:53:43.42
I THINK YOU ARE IN
YOUR 20S. >> I AM IN MY 20S.
00:53:43.42\00:53:47.29
>> WE WON'T PUBLISH
-- I KNOW YOU'RE NOT 40.
00:53:47.29\00:53:53.73
SEE GOD CALLS YOUNG PEOPLE,
AND -- THE WORLD HAS CREATED
00:53:53.73\00:53:59.00
SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IT IS
DESIGNED TO JUST TAKE THE MIND
00:53:59.00\00:54:02.60
OF THE YOUNG AND PUT IT ON A
CONVEYER BELT AND FILL IT WITH
00:54:02.60\00:54:08.11
NOTHINGNESS, AND WHEN THE
CONVEYER BELT CLOSES OVER, THE
00:54:08.11\00:54:12.78
MIND JUST DROPS OFF
INTO A MEANINGLESS WORLD.
00:54:12.78\00:54:16.32
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
00:54:16.32\00:54:19.35
AND PEOPLE BEING SPOILED -- THEY
THINK I NEED TO BE HAPPY ALL OF
00:54:19.35\00:54:23.32
THE TIME, NOT REALIZING
THAT JESUS SAID IF YOU DO THESE
00:54:23.32\00:54:26.83
THINGS -- YOU KNOW,
THIS IS WHERE THE BLESSING
00:54:26.83\00:54:28.93
COMES -- HAPP ARE YOU
IF YOU DO THESE THINGS.
00:54:28.93\00:54:33.94
>> RIGHT. >> AND
SO TOGETHER -- IF YOU
00:54:33.94\00:54:37.57
WERE TO WALK ME THROUGH AND JUST
KIND OF O FOR THE APPETITE OF
00:54:37.57\00:54:42.34
OUR AUDIENCE, WHEN YOU
DECIDE -- LET ME ASK THE
00:54:42.34\00:54:46.08
QUESTION. WHICH ONE
OF YOU IS THE -PREACHER?
00:54:46.08\00:54:48.82
>> THIS ONE. >>
YOU ARE THE PREACHER?
00:54:48.82\00:54:51.45
>> I SENSED THAT. >>
I PREACH PRETTY OFTEN AS
00:54:51.45\00:54:55.72
WELL. HE TRAVELS
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:54:55.72\00:54:58.09
I'M JUST THE LOCAL PREACHER.
HE IS THE INTERNATIONAL ONE.
00:54:58.09\00:55:02.43
>> OKAY. THE LORD
OPENS THOSE DOORS, AND
00:55:02.43\00:55:05.40
HE PUT YOU TOGETHER, LEFT HAND,
RIGHT HAND, BOTH OF YOU HAVE THE
00:55:05.40\00:55:09.67
GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO
YOU. YOU TALK ABOUT THE VISION.
00:55:09.67\00:55:13.27
GOD GIVES VISION TO BOTH OF YOU.
YOU COULD BE A MOSES AND ERIN,
00:55:13.27\00:55:19.25
AND JOSHUA AND CALEB, BUT
THE LORD SENDS US TWO BY TWO.
00:55:19.25\00:55:25.65
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU
SEE CAN STILL BE STRENGTHENED IN
00:55:25.65\00:55:34.10
THE CHURCH? I KIND OF
PULLED THAT ONE OUT OF
00:55:34.10\00:55:37.30
THE AIR. >> ONE
THING THAT I SEE THAT CAN
00:55:37.30\00:55:41.20
BE STRENGTHENED. I
KNOW MANY OTHER YOUNG ADULTS
00:55:41.20\00:55:44.81
FEEL THE SAME WAY AS ME, IS
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT IN YOUR
00:55:44.81\00:55:48.38
CHURCH THAT WELCOMES NEW PEOPLE.
I'M TALKING PEOPLE THAT COME
00:55:48.38\00:55:52.21
RIGHT OFF OF THE STREET THAT CAN
COME INTO THE CHURCH AND FEEL
00:55:52.21\00:55:56.58
WELCOMED AND COMFORTABLE BECAUSE
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THERE ARE
00:55:56.58\00:56:02.82
MANY CHURCHES WHERE YOUNG ADULTS
GO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE BRINGING
00:56:02.82\00:56:08.76
THEIR FRIENDS WHO DO NOT K
KNOW -- CHRIST, WHO ARE NOT
00:56:08.76\00:56:19.97
ADVENTISTS. THEY ARE
AFRAID SOMEONE WILL SAY
00:56:19.97\00:56:22.28
SOMETHING TO THAT PERSON,
BECAUSE THEY'LL COME IN NOT
00:56:22.28\00:56:26.31
DRESSED -- WHATEVER. AND
ONCE THAT HAPPENS THAT TIME,
00:56:26.31\00:56:30.09
THAT COULD BE THEIR ONLY -- YOU
KNOW, THAT COULD SCARE THEM AWAY
00:56:30.09\00:56:33.99
FROM THE CHURCH. >>
WHICH I WANT TO PIGGYBACK OFF
00:56:33.99\00:56:39.83
OF, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY
WE CREATED THE SMALL GROUPS.
00:56:39.83\00:56:43.06
THEY CAN COME AND BE VULNERABLE.
AND THE OTHER THING THAT THE
00:56:43.06\00:56:46.77
CHURCH NEEDS A HUNGER FOR TRUTH.
AT TIMES WE DRIFTED IN SAYING
00:56:46.77\00:56:51.37
LET'S REACH THEM WHERE THEY ARE
AT, IN THE SENSE OF ENTERTAINING
00:56:51.37\00:56:55.08
THEM, OR MAKING IT A SOCIAL
CLUB, BUT THIS PAST FRIDAY WE
00:56:55.08\00:56:58.98
WERE GOING THROUGH THE BOOK OF
HEBREWS, AND JUST THE DESIRE AND
00:56:58.98\00:57:04.62
HUNGER FOR TRUTH, SO WHEN YOU
TEACH IT TO THEM, AND THEY SEE
00:57:04.62\00:57:08.49
IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT'S
SUCH A FULFILLING -- IT'S SO
00:57:08.49\00:57:12.96
FULFILLING TO SEE THEY ARE
LEARNING SOMETHING FROM THE
00:57:12.96\00:57:15.40
TRUTH THAT
SOMETIMES WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.
00:57:15.40\00:57:18.83
SO BETWEEN JUST AN ENVIRONMENT
TO ALLOW THESE YOUNG ADULTS TO
00:57:18.83\00:57:21.74
BE CREATIVE, AND AN ENVIRONMENT
FOR THEM TO LEARN AND GROW IN
00:57:21.74\00:57:25.64
THEIR EXPERIENCE.
>> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:57:25.64\00:57:27.48
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND
TALK MORE ABOUT SOME OF THIS IN
00:57:27.48\00:57:31.48
THE NEXT HOUR, CREATING AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL
00:57:31.48\00:57:35.92
CLASSES ARE COMFORTABLE.
STAY TUNED BECAUSE THE REST OF
00:57:35.92\00:57:39.92
THE SALT WILL BE
SHAKEN IN THE SEC HOUR.
00:57:39.92\00:57:42.29
DON'T GO AWAY, WE'LL BE
BACK IN JUST ABOUT TWO MINUTES.
00:57:42.29\00:57:45.79
