00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.800
Hey guys, just before we get into the podcast, we just wanted to let you know that we are currently in the process of fundraising for a short film called Between Sundays.

2
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:14.360
There'll be a link down in the description for you to give, but yeah, anything you guys give, we would so greatly appreciate it.

3
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:17.320
And just thank you in advance for all of you that have given already.

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.840
But yeah, without further ado, let's get into the podcast.

5
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:20.360
You!

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.400
Hey guys, and welcome back to the way UK podcasts.

7
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:28.040
My name is Jesse, and as you can tell, I'm joined with Michelle and Zenya.

8
00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:29.720
Michelle and Zenya, how are you today?

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:30.560
Good man.

10
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:31.120
Which one's which?

11
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.400
Yeah, yeah, good question.

12
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:36.560
And Michelle, it might define, I'll be fine by the answer.

13
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:37.280
Then it's pretty cool.

14
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.720
No, but as you can see, we are joined by some different hosts today.

15
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.280
Two familiar faces to some of you.

16
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.400
You might be following the one Instagram on YouTube.

17
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.280
Do you want to introduce yourself?

18
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:49.400
What are your names?

19
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:50.400
Any ministry?

20
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:51.200
What do you go first, bro?

21
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.040
Is that just because you copped up?

22
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.800
Yeah, and that you just go for it.

23
00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:57.200
My name is Sam.

24
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.320
Hey Sam, and I'm a worship leader on YouTube.

25
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.320
So maybe you've seen my channel, maybe you haven't,

26
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:04.720
but I'm not on Instagram, so you want to see me there.

27
00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:07.120
I'm 25, and I'm from the cock twals.

28
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.840
Hey guys, my name is Ben.

29
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.640
I am 25 tomorrow.

30
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.760
I, yeah, both do.

31
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:17.880
I run a page on Instagram called Wooden Spoon Ministry, where I talk about

32
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:21.080
Jesus and make animations and stuff like that.

33
00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:22.520
So, yeah, that's me.

34
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:23.360
Yeah, it's very cool.

35
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:24.720
My name's Jesse.

36
00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:29.520
You, I don't know, I don't even know how to introduce myself.

37
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:30.560
I've never introduced myself.

38
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:31.640
Why have you been influenced up?

39
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.320
21, I love Jesus and stuff.

40
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:35.400
Did it all you came?

41
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.120
And we have asked Instagram for some questions and some answers,

42
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.560
specifically questions for boys.

43
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:45.960
And we've got an abundance of answers.

44
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.160
And are you ready to try and answer them to our best ability?

45
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.960
Yeah, we're all in through.

46
00:01:55.160 --> 00:02:00.080
The first one is from a lady named Miss Tremena.

47
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:04.560
Now, Miss Tremena is one of our most faithful, uh, Miss Tremena.

48
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:06.040
I actually recognize that now.

49
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.640
You recognize it?

50
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.040
She's a fan of my pages.

51
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:08.640
Oh my gosh.

52
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:09.080
Yeah, yeah.

53
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.080
Maybe I should check myself out.

54
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.880
Yeah, yeah, no, I totally recognize that.

55
00:02:11.880 --> 00:02:15.160
I feel like it's, uh, but likes every video consistent.

56
00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:15.520
Really?

57
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

58
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.760
Shout out, Miss Tremena legend.

59
00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:22.320
It feels like you haven't really made it in this Miss Tremena follows you.

60
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:23.560
Mate, I totally agree.

61
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.280
I hope she sees this because she's going to love this.

62
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:25.960
She will.

63
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.960
Um, sorry, Sam, you'll get the one there.

64
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.480
But Miss Tremena, is it Miss, as in like Mrs, like Miss Tremena?

65
00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:32.480
It's just Miss Tremena.

66
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:34.480
I said, okay, it's called name.

67
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:35.720
1981.

68
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:43.040
And she has asked, besides Jesus, what character in the Bible motivates you to lead others?

69
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.320
Oh, leadership.

70
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:46.000
Yeah.

71
00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:48.920
You want them?

72
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:52.760
Yeah, there's a biblical character that really, really inspires me.

73
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:59.520
And that is David, King David, because he's a man who fell hard.

74
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.000
And the thing that he said to God was, take everything from me, but just not your

75
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.800
presence.

76
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.280
And that really inspires me and my faith.

77
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:10.800
Yeah, that's great.

78
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:17.040
For me, it's Paul, like, not just because I feel like my story is similar to

79
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:23.880
his in terms of rebelling and being in some ways with enmity, in enmity with God, but

80
00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:30.160
also just the radical nature of his ministry and like his zeal, his passion for saying

81
00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:33.240
things that other people may not like to hear, but wanted to say many, because they were

82
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:34.240
true.

83
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:39.680
Um, and I think there's a man that inspires me a lot and trying to understand what it

84
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.760
means to embody sort of those characteristics as a man.

85
00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:46.680
So for sure, Mr. Paul, it's cool.

86
00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:48.280
I'm, I'm a David boy as well.

87
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.440
I found out the other day, one of the first things that King David did when he was

88
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.720
instated as King of Israel was that he, he basically set up a worship tent.

89
00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:03.960
That's why you've got like some festivals in the UK called Davis 10, which is all about

90
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.440
worship.

91
00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:05.320
We love to have a tent.

92
00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:10.000
And I found out the other day that the cost to run this worship tent, which is simply

93
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.520
to like basically meet with God and minister to God was equivalent to 30 million a month.

94
00:04:17.520 --> 00:04:18.520
That's how much it would have cost.

95
00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:19.320
What did they work that out?

96
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.080
I don't know.

97
00:04:20.080 --> 00:04:25.080
I asked him Hughes, but he did, which is crazy.

98
00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:29.760
Like he, he poured wealth into it and prioritized the presence of God.

99
00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:30.840
And he gave it away.

100
00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:34.800
He was so, obviously he fell a lot and so people don't like him for that.

101
00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:39.720
But he, he did come back to Jesus and he was described as a man off to go to hell.

102
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:40.320
Yeah.

103
00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:43.360
And I want to be a man off to go to hell, you know, me too.

104
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:44.800
Me three.

105
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.880
Yeah, I was waiting for that.

106
00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:47.080
Got you.

107
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.080
Oh, my days, oh, my days.

108
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:56.240
You got me a column.

109
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.440
No way.

110
00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:04.600
Oh, I can't believe you got me a column.

111
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.880
Happy birthday.

112
00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:07.880
Do you know about this?

113
00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:09.120
Oh, my days.

114
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.200
Thank you so much.

115
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:10.720
Wow.

116
00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:12.840
Yeah.

117
00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:13.840
Yeah.

118
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:15.640
Colin McIntyre.

119
00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:16.360
Sweet to drink.

120
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:17.200
No, that's terrible.

121
00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:19.600
We both take like a bite right now from each end.

122
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:20.600
Oh my gosh.

123
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:21.280
What's that meat?

124
00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:23.480
You went off in middle.

125
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:24.400
Yeah, I'm in middle.

126
00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:25.600
Okay, here we go.

127
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:27.240
I've got the face.

128
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.440
All right, ready to one.

129
00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:34.440
Why is this a cliff?

130
00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:39.480
I look so bad away.

131
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:40.480
I didn't know about that.

132
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.680
So it was as opposed to me too.

133
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.520
Thank you guys.

134
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:43.600
That's so sweet of you.

135
00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:52.040
I'm going to have to check for chocolate in my teeth now.

136
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:57.600
I know it's like funny birthdays, but like we genuinely

137
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:58.640
really celebrate you.

138
00:05:58.640 --> 00:05:59.600
Thanks, man.

139
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.680
You've been like an awesome, awesome man.

140
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.280
And like the amount you've pulled out in social media.

141
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.640
The people don't see is like really beautiful.

142
00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:10.560
I think that's really proud of it.

143
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.800
And like I know this feels like a cost, but you're really

144
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.080
where you meant to be.

145
00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:17.440
It's all seen.

146
00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:19.640
We celebrate and hey, big round of applause.

147
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:23.160
Thanks, guys.

148
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:24.720
I'm Adam from President.

149
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.080
Guys, the next question for us.

150
00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:28.080
All right, from a man named Nathan Graham.

151
00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:29.920
I'm assuming that's a man.

152
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.600
How do you deal with having large profiles on social media

153
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.000
and not idolizing?

154
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.400
I think for me, it's easier because I only have one platform,

155
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.560
which means my life is very focused on sort of one.

156
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.640
It's easier to focus on one thing and also block out

157
00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:49.080
a lot of noise because there isn't really any noise.

158
00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:51.160
I also live in the countryside, so I think that helps.

159
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.480
And I guess that means wherever I am,

160
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.120
I just see myself as the same as everybody else.

161
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.280
Like when I'm walking down the street, I'm not thinking,

162
00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:00.520
I'm a YouTuber.

163
00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:02.560
I'm thinking I'm just a citizen of this town.

164
00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:05.600
So I think that helps.

165
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.440
I think it was on Instagram and TikTok and all of that.

166
00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:10.280
I think it would screw my identity a bit.

167
00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:12.320
So I think it's just easier to manage

168
00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:13.800
because I only have one platform.

169
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.960
But on top of that, obviously, that's not always helpful.

170
00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:20.960
But I think probably trying not to find my identity

171
00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:23.720
in all the numbers or comments or stuff like that,

172
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.640
like it doesn't matter.

173
00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:27.720
It's just helpful to get feedback that I know I'm on the right path

174
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.720
and doing all that.

175
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.680
Yeah, and you don't have Instagram, do you?

176
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.800
What why?

177
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.560
Like in your 20s, you're a man.

178
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.400
You're brilliant looking.

179
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:40.120
Oh, that's funnable to say on camera.

180
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:40.960
Flatin' on camera.

181
00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:41.800
But it's true.

182
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:42.920
You're a good-looking man.

183
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:43.920
Thanks.

184
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.720
Samson, the work colors, colors, colors.

185
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.560
Anyone would use the opportunity to gain Instagram cloud.

186
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.800
They'd use the opportunity to do the thing.

187
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:52.640
But you don't.

188
00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:53.680
You actually stay clear of that.

189
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.040
Do you mind like telling us a little bit why?

190
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.320
Because of David and his temptation through Bashiba.

191
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:05.360
And I think there's an obvious opportunity

192
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.560
for that type of pride.

193
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.080
And so you get led astray by things

194
00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.920
which ultimately won't satisfy.

195
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.120
Also, for personal experience, I used to be on Instagram.

196
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.960
It's not like I would not be on Instagram.

197
00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:18.920
I had Instagram for a period of time.

198
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.960
But there are lots of things that happened in my life

199
00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:24.080
where I realized I have an ADHD type brain, which

200
00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:25.040
means stimulation.

201
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.840
And the algorithm doesn't work for me.

202
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:29.960
So when you're on a medium, which is pretty much all visual,

203
00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:30.720
that's where the screen is.

204
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.320
It's less about ideas.

205
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.640
It's more about the way people look.

206
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.920
And that's what laws you end and keeps you hooked.

207
00:08:36.920 --> 00:08:40.360
That is not good for my brain at all.

208
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.600
And I think once I tasted what it was like to not have it

209
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.760
and the freedom I had.

210
00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:51.640
And the lack of brain power that it sort of took for me

211
00:08:51.640 --> 00:08:54.880
to just be able to be myself and live in the present,

212
00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:57.160
you couldn't pay me to be back on it.

213
00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:58.640
Honestly, if Instagram were like some,

214
00:08:58.640 --> 00:08:59.800
I'm going to give you two million pounds

215
00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:02.480
to come back on Instagram, I would not do it.

216
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.760
Yeah, it's just my conscience.

217
00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:06.440
But then you are on Instagram.

218
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.280
Yeah.

219
00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:08.280
And you're supposed to content.

220
00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:08.880
Yeah, how do you never?

221
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:10.120
Yeah, I mean, it's interesting, hey,

222
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.960
how different types of minds work and how some of us

223
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.480
maybe feel grace for one's face and another

224
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.840
for a different platform.

225
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.000
For me, you touched on it.

226
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.160
You dropped that golden word in there

227
00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:23.280
a couple times that identity word.

228
00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:26.920
I think where we find our identity is where we find our worth

229
00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:28.200
and our value.

230
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.680
And for me, I know that my value is not based

231
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:34.960
on any number of followers on a digital platform.

232
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.520
It's based in the fact that God loved me enough

233
00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:39.600
and thought I was valuable enough to send

234
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.320
his one and only son to die in my place.

235
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:49.280
And so when I see that, I know that my, yeah, my worth

236
00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:54.240
and my conviction to do my best to walk out a righteous life

237
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.520
is because of, it's like an audience of one,

238
00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:01.200
me just before God, regardless of any kind of platform

239
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.760
or following.

240
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:05.080
And how, I'm just going to go a little deeper

241
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.480
because I love it.

242
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.920
You've both got such different perspectives.

243
00:10:08.920 --> 00:10:11.760
But yeah, like, well, if I got in such unique ways,

244
00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:15.440
how do you, you just said, like, oh, like I don't,

245
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.640
I analyze the numbers, you know, my identity's not in that.

246
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.000
My worth isn't in that.

247
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.880
That's awesome.

248
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:22.960
I can say the same thing.

249
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.080
And my, oh, man, yeah, I do lots on social media.

250
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.760
Numbers can feel really good, but ultimately, I know

251
00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:31.040
that my identity is not in anything that I do.

252
00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:35.080
It's fully in who I, who I've been born to be.

253
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:35.920
Yeah.

254
00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:37.440
Like, that doesn't quite make sense.

255
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.400
No, who phrase it?

256
00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:40.080
My identity's not just in what I do,

257
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.440
but it's what God did for me at a cross.

258
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.360
And now I get to step into sonship.

259
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.120
I get to step into being a child of God.

260
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.400
And it's been a journey for me having to,

261
00:10:51.400 --> 00:10:54.080
having to separate the numbers and who I am.

262
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:54.920
Yeah.

263
00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:55.920
It's been a huge journey.

264
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:57.760
And you've been on a similar journey, Ben.

265
00:10:57.760 --> 00:10:58.720
Yeah, man.

266
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.280
How, what are some tips to, like, remove the doing

267
00:11:02.280 --> 00:11:06.040
as your identity and start receiving the adoption of sons?

268
00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:07.160
Yeah, absolutely.

269
00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:08.600
Like, even as sons, we're literally sons.

270
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

271
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.280
For me, it's been, if there has been any of that stuff

272
00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:17.560
come up, which it has is to run at God with it straight away.

273
00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:19.600
So for me, something that this has looked like

274
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.280
is having a video that goes viral and gets 700,000

275
00:11:23.280 --> 00:11:24.320
and a million views.

276
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.880
And then posting another video which gets 2,000 views.

277
00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:30.080
And it's like, oh, disappointed.

278
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.120
And when I catch that, I'm like, what do I do with that?

279
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.080
I'm like, oh, damn, I've just found some of my worth

280
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.040
and value through a number on a screen.

281
00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:41.040
Like, what do I do with that?

282
00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:42.120
Run straight to God.

283
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.280
I'm like, God, I recognize this isn't who I am.

284
00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:48.760
Who I am is not based on this thing,

285
00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:52.040
which I've just realized through my emotional response.

286
00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:55.320
That is where I was finding some of who I am.

287
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.320
So this is what my repentance looks like.

288
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.720
Looks like I recognize that I've done something

289
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.080
or believed something untrue.

290
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.760
And then aligning myself with truth that makes me

291
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:08.880
free.

292
00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:09.880
Free.

293
00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:10.880
Sorry.

294
00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:11.880
I thought you were going for the rhyme.

295
00:12:11.880 --> 00:12:12.880
I guess I can.

296
00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:14.920
Bro, they're both true.

297
00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:16.720
But truth sets you free.

298
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.960
And I find that the harder I run at truth,

299
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:24.640
which is that my value is not in a number of performance

300
00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:29.560
or recognition, but it's in Christ who paid that price for me

301
00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:34.120
on that tree that I find more contentment and more peace

302
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.840
in whatever the outcome is on social media.

303
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:37.720
Can I also say one more thing?

304
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.120
Yeah, please.

305
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:40.440
I think just getting super practical

306
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.600
and I know we're digging deep on this question.

307
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.400
I was speaking to my therapist this week about it.

308
00:12:45.400 --> 00:12:48.880
Actually, it's the idea of numbers,

309
00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:51.960
don't always qualify quality.

310
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.400
They just qualify attraction.

311
00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:55.920
And you can have a large following,

312
00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:58.080
doesn't mean the quality is good.

313
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.160
And I've actually tested this in real life,

314
00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:02.560
like where you might see somebody has loads and loads

315
00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:05.080
and loads of followers and you might create a perception

316
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.160
of them online and then you meet them in real life

317
00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:08.720
and they don't have any of the type of qualities

318
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:09.760
you'd want in a friend.

319
00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:12.000
And now your estimation of that person goes down massively

320
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.520
because you're not judging them

321
00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:15.600
but you're comparing them on a level of like

322
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.800
the qualities of a natural, decent person

323
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:19.160
you'd want to hang out with.

324
00:13:19.160 --> 00:13:20.720
And that then communicated to me

325
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.920
and it made me realize that this metric

326
00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:27.840
that we have been pushed into for qualifying out quality

327
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.800
isn't actually true.

328
00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:30.560
It's not a good metric.

329
00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:33.640
Numbers is just like how many people

330
00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:34.920
the algorithm pushed the thing out to,

331
00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:36.120
doesn't mean that it's actually good.

332
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.720
It can mean it's good, but it doesn't always mean it's good.

333
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:39.960
So I think that's something that practically

334
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.480
we can try and work into our head,

335
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.120
like just because this video's gone viral

336
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.320
doesn't mean that the thing I said was even right.

337
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.960
It's just that those people watched it.

338
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.840
And I think that's even with our digital culture

339
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.040
that we're in now, there's so much like rage baiting,

340
00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:52.440
for example, doesn't mean that the video

341
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.800
was actually valuable or good or high quality

342
00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:56.160
or useful for your brain.

343
00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:57.520
Just because there's millions of people

344
00:13:57.520 --> 00:13:59.200
following some random Instagram model,

345
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.280
doesn't mean that we should be also watching that

346
00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:02.080
and following the crowd.

347
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.480
So I think working that out made me detach

348
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.160
from the numbers quite considerably.

349
00:14:07.160 --> 00:14:10.680
Yeah, it's realizing that at the end of the day,

350
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.600
where the worth is Christ, it's not the number,

351
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.000
it's not the random.

352
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.200
And if you find people that do point you to Jesus,

353
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.000
that's amazing, it's worth following that.

354
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.200
But you're right, there's rage bait, there's quick bait.

355
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.560
It doesn't, just because it's got views,

356
00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:27.840
doesn't mean it's God's favor.

357
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.480
The numbers are algorithmic, they're not quality best.

358
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.320
Yeah.

359
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.160
I love what you said, Ben, like rhythms of repentance.

360
00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:34.920
Because that goes beyond social media,

361
00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:38.440
that just goes with any habits that we're dealing with,

362
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.960
any sin that we're struggling with,

363
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.000
any mindsets that we're trying to break,

364
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.560
any areas that we want to improve on,

365
00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:50.280
like it's just so important to have a rhythms of repentance.

366
00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:51.520
To move on to the next question,

367
00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:53.560
I know that one social media thing,

368
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:56.520
had a few branches, but we'll move on.

369
00:14:56.520 --> 00:15:01.840
Men, faith, and church is what this is title of this.

370
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.160
What Christian men, are you inspired by?

371
00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:05.200
Inspired by, and why?

372
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:06.520
So you're good.

373
00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:08.600
Other than me.

374
00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:12.640
Yeah, just to answer super quickly,

375
00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:15.120
like just overall the mouth, I won't go into any detail.

376
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.360
So if you're watching this and you're like,

377
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.000
oh, should I follow, should I watch?

378
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.240
This is my stamp of approval, who I would endorse.

379
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.920
Guy called Jonathan Bacluder on Instagram, JP Bacluder.

380
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:27.160
Also has a podcast called Becoming Something,

381
00:15:27.160 --> 00:15:30.600
and a guy called Derek Mack, who some people may know

382
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.920
on Instagram at Derek Mack.

383
00:15:34.040 --> 00:15:36.120
Part of the circuit riders, just a really fiery preacher

384
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.320
who is unashamedly masculine,

385
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.320
and also understands his call to surf and to protect

386
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.120
and to provide and to lead.

387
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.440
So who is he?

388
00:15:47.400 --> 00:15:48.400
Yeah.

389
00:15:48.400 --> 00:15:50.720
I mean, you hit the nail on the head in that statement.

390
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.480
Unashamedly masculine.

391
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.280
For me, I go to a small church

392
00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:57.960
and the vicar of that church, Quinn.

393
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.800
He is that he's a strong masculine man

394
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:06.520
that loves mixed martial arts and steak.

395
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.520
But he is so gentle and so kind and so tenderhearted

396
00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:14.600
and will worship and cry,

397
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.720
and then deliver at deliver fire and strength.

398
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.000
And I'm like, oh, I want to be like him.

399
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.640
So yeah, he would be one for me.

400
00:16:22.640 --> 00:16:23.640
That's awesome.

401
00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:25.280
Godly masculinity.

402
00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:27.560
We've kind of already gone there.

403
00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:29.360
You could assume that we'd go there

404
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.120
considering it's a men's podcast.

405
00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:33.880
Before that, I'll just shout out my...

406
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:34.880
Yeah, I was going to ask you.

407
00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:35.720
What's yours?

408
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.560
Who's yours?

409
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:38.680
At the moment, in fact, for a long time,

410
00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:40.200
there's a guy called John Thoms

411
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.800
that you may have seen on the podcast

412
00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:43.760
if you've been around.

413
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:46.960
But for the past six months, particularly,

414
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.640
I've had a few ups and downs

415
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:52.200
and almost everything all day, he'll text me.

416
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.320
And I'll go to his house probably four times a week

417
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.600
and just lie on his couch and just explain my life.

418
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.240
And he just constantly makes time for me.

419
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:02.960
And he's constantly affirming like,

420
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.400
that you're a son of God.

421
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.480
Let's bring you back to Jesus.

422
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.280
Come on, let's point you here.

423
00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:10.160
And he's just so consistent and kind.

424
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.120
And I love him a lot.

425
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.320
He also lives five minutes away from me.

426
00:17:13.320 --> 00:17:16.000
What's the hardest of trait that is key in that?

427
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:17.960
Like, the topic is obviously,

428
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.600
the vocabulary is like the men,

429
00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:21.560
or like the...

430
00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:22.800
We'll have to talk about like the biblical masculine

431
00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:24.160
until we've got the masculineity.

432
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.640
But what would you say the trait that he has

433
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.600
that really draws you to him as a man or a role model?

434
00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:35.360
At the moment, like, his consistent faithfulness.

435
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:38.120
Okay, that you see Jesus has.

436
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:40.560
Like, he's consistently faithful to shout out to people.

437
00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:41.400
Yeah.

438
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.080
Consistently open arms.

439
00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:45.360
And like, I see that, and John.

440
00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:46.160
That's why I love it.

441
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.240
But let's talk about it.

442
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.120
Let's talk about Godly masculinity.

443
00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:50.920
Because we've had a few questions.

444
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.640
One from Thomas Graves.

445
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:55.840
What is Godly masculinity?

446
00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:58.520
And how do we walk in Godly masculinity?

447
00:17:58.520 --> 00:18:00.000
I'm really curious about it.

448
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.520
I wonder what all of our answers will be.

449
00:18:02.520 --> 00:18:03.720
Can I fire off straightaway?

450
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.560
Bang it.

451
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:05.800
Going to say in this down the camera,

452
00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:08.360
Godly masculinity looks like Jesus.

453
00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:09.720
Hey, yeah.

454
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.800
I had a hard time.

455
00:18:10.800 --> 00:18:13.040
I was super really depressed in my teenagers

456
00:18:13.040 --> 00:18:15.560
from probably 13 to 17.

457
00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:16.920
It was very, very depressed.

458
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.720
My parents were very worried about me.

459
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.680
And at 18, I had a encounter with the love of God

460
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.440
that completely changed my life in one day.

461
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.720
And you're not 18 anymore.

462
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:28.680
No, man.

463
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.560
25 tomorrow.

464
00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:30.400
25 to 20.

465
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.240
Oh, yeah.

466
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.240
So excited.

467
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.760
And sticking on the theme of masculinity,

468
00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:38.440
you've now been filled with the Holy Spirit,

469
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.520
met with Jesus' love seven years ago.

470
00:18:40.560 --> 00:18:42.360
Tomorrow, roughly.

471
00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:46.640
And how has Jesus shaped your perception

472
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.440
of what masculinity looks like?

473
00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:54.800
Yeah.

474
00:18:54.800 --> 00:18:58.280
I think the word gentleness actually

475
00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:02.440
like screaming at me right now,

476
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.480
because I think a worldly idea of what masculinity looks like

477
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.200
is like a strong, powerful, damaging force

478
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.160
that hurts weak men and women.

479
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.640
And our culture is calling this term toxic masculinity.

480
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.400
And I think I'm not a fan of that,

481
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.600
because I think masculinity, it inherently

482
00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:31.680
is a healthy thing displayed through Jesus

483
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.480
that looks like the fruits of the Spirit.

484
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:40.480
Peace, patience, joy, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness,

485
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.120
and self-control.

486
00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:44.400
That's, yeah, I miss one.

487
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.400
It's so good.

488
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.920
And love as well.

489
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.600
Yeah, true.

490
00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:49.280
It's great.

491
00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:49.800
Yeah.

492
00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:54.080
And I think Jesus displays those like,

493
00:19:54.080 --> 00:19:57.000
shortest first in the whole Bible, Jesus wept.

494
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.720
Yeah, he wasn't afraid to show his emotions.

495
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.640
But when it came down to it, he was strong enough

496
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.960
to carry that cross up that hill and die

497
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:06.720
for the whole of humanity.

498
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.760
Like masculinity and leadership is not

499
00:20:09.760 --> 00:20:12.680
about making all the decisions and getting your way all the time.

500
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.080
It's about sacrificing the most for the people that you love.

501
00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:21.480
And Jesus is the best example of that that we have.

502
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:24.680
I was pretty, you can quote that man.

503
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:26.400
We've got some dating ones.

504
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.360
But interestingly, none of them are like men

505
00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:33.240
asking about dating, but it's actually women asking about what.

506
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.040
Yeah.

507
00:20:34.040 --> 00:20:35.240
It's like so random.

508
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.600
So like, for example, hope as a woman of God, Bracket,

509
00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:42.280
how do I distinguish a man of God

510
00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:44.400
compared to like a Christian boy?

511
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

512
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.200
Like how do you find a man on a mission burning?

513
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.320
I think that narcissistic confidence

514
00:20:55.320 --> 00:21:04.480
can be confused with competent confidence,

515
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.760
being one rooted in humility and the other rooted in pride.

516
00:21:10.760 --> 00:21:15.360
And it's actually not too difficult to figure that one out

517
00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:20.000
if you just start digging and trying to pull out

518
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.320
to say if you're a girl and you go on a few dates with a guy,

519
00:21:23.320 --> 00:21:28.560
just ask him about his testimony, ask him about his faith in God

520
00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:30.000
and just see what he says.

521
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.520
And see if what he says feels like he's

522
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:36.920
walking in a genuine spirit of love or not.

523
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.600
That's honestly all I think I have to say on that.

524
00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:40.880
It's good.

525
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.560
I think it's one of those things where sometimes it

526
00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:47.640
does take a bit of time, like with any sort of dating

527
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.680
circumstance, you're not going to know everything about them

528
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.920
from one day or two dates or three dates.

529
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.360
Who knew that you couldn't get to know the whole of someone's life

530
00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:00.400
within a week?

531
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.080
It's like sometimes these things do take time.

532
00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:06.040
And that's genuinely just part of the dating process.

533
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:09.560
Like there's, it is hard to like know sometimes,

534
00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:11.440
like what's confidence, what's arrogance,

535
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.280
what's humility, what are they like?

536
00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:16.040
But you stick close to someone and the fruit

537
00:22:16.040 --> 00:22:17.800
of who they are will begin to share.

538
00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:18.560
Absolutely.

539
00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:21.200
And I think we have a great understanding

540
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.560
of what a godly man looks like because we know Jesus'

541
00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:24.560
person.

542
00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:25.960
And we know what the Bible says.

543
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.600
Even going back to it, we've talked about it

544
00:22:27.600 --> 00:22:29.720
a bit already with the fruit of the spirit.

545
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.480
Like if you haven't read that, Galatians 5.

546
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.840
Galatians 5.

547
00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:35.000
Read Galatians 5.

548
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.200
Read the fruit of the spirit.

549
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.160
And be like, OK, I've been around this guy for three months.

550
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.720
I've seen him in friendship circles.

551
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.640
I've seen him in a dating scenario.

552
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.960
Is he producing kindness?

553
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:46.920
Yeah.

554
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.360
Is he producing gentleness, or is he lashing out

555
00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:51.440
and just calling it like a hard day?

556
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.040
Like it's those kind of things that, you know,

557
00:22:54.040 --> 00:22:55.320
it's hard to bait.

558
00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:57.800
Like it's hard to figure out from one moment.

559
00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:58.320
Yeah.

560
00:22:58.320 --> 00:23:00.280
And so you kind of have to give it time.

561
00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:01.280
Yeah.

562
00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:02.280
And I think as well, to be honest, like,

563
00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:07.040
to remember when you're dating Grace, like,

564
00:23:07.040 --> 00:23:12.840
the person who checks out, having grace for the person

565
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:15.640
that you're with because ladies, if there's any of you

566
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:17.560
watching, I'll be honest with you.

567
00:23:17.560 --> 00:23:19.600
If you don't know, if there's any other questions,

568
00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:21.880
that's definitely watching.

569
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.880
Being becoming a mature, fully formed man of God

570
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.400
is really hard.

571
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.800
It's a long journey and it's really, really hard.

572
00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:35.280
And there are things, are challenges for us

573
00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:37.400
that look different to what challenges look like for you.

574
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:39.880
And I don't know what it is to be a woman.

575
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.000
So I'm not, we'll never take away from that,

576
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:43.080
whether that's hard as well.

577
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:50.720
But in our society that says to display masculine characteristics

578
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.640
makes you toxic, but then to be an immasculine man

579
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:55.920
makes you unattractive and worthless.

580
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.400
It's really hard to navigate that and to figure out

581
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.720
how to become a masculine man that looks healthy

582
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.080
and that does display the fruits of the spirit.

583
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:09.480
And the way, too, is to just run at Jesus,

584
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:11.920
be taught, truth and mentored well,

585
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.560
and have friends around you that are trying to do the same thing.

586
00:24:15.560 --> 00:24:17.280
But it's a long journey and it's hard.

587
00:24:17.280 --> 00:24:24.000
And so it's likely that if you're a woman who's in maybe 18, 19 or early 20s

588
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.120
that you're going to date a guy who's not 100% there yet.

589
00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:30.480
And that's OK, because you probably aren't either,

590
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.800
but you have grace for each other in that.

591
00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:34.360
And that's a beautiful thing.

592
00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:36.840
See how he responds to different circumstances.

593
00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:39.800
And again, it's going back to my initial point, like the time thing.

594
00:24:39.800 --> 00:24:43.040
You can't find out who a man is within a week.

595
00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:45.560
And so sometimes, like, they can be the most confident

596
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:47.520
but actually have loads of insecurity.

597
00:24:47.520 --> 00:24:49.720
All the opposite, they can have loads of insecurity.

598
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.320
But it turns out they're actually really dependent on Christ.

599
00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:54.240
And that can be really attractive.

600
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

601
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.840
I mean, I feel like the red point I raised is tying in.

602
00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:02.280
Both of what you're saying together, because like,

603
00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:06.600
having grace to say if a guy is feeling insecure about something

604
00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:09.600
and he's really praying, but he's still struggling with that.

605
00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:13.000
Like, you can see his heart posture.

606
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.600
And it's the Lord's kindness that leads us to repentance.

607
00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:21.280
And if that man is seeking truth, then the truth is going to say it for him.

608
00:25:21.280 --> 00:25:23.240
Because faith is powerful.

609
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:28.600
And so being formed, working out our salvation and fear and trembling

610
00:25:28.600 --> 00:25:29.800
is a process.

611
00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:32.520
And sanctification's a process, it's hard.

612
00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:35.840
It's so hard, but man, it's so worth it.

613
00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:38.160
Like, that's why I love David.

614
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.680
Like, Lord, take anything away from him, even not your presence.

615
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.680
Like, Jesus, I'll die for you.

616
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.200
I'll die on this hill.

617
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.720
Yeah.

618
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.520
No, it's so good.

619
00:25:48.520 --> 00:25:50.880
And I've got one more question after this.

620
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:55.760
But the final point I'll say is like, gosh, I started thinking about

621
00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:58.480
the final question, and I forgot my point.

622
00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.960
Oh, that's how I have a lot of secrets.

623
00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.720
Oh, yeah.

624
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.600
Perfection doesn't mean you're like away from Christ.

625
00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:06.960
That's another point that didn't make sense either.

626
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.240
And flapping, don't know what to say.

627
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.960
That's right.

628
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.960
Now, you can keep it.

629
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.960
Yeah, it's good to share.

630
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.720
My final point was going to be like marriage, because I'm assuming

631
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.160
that you're looking for a godly man, and I'm assuming if you're a Christian,

632
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:28.960
and you're looking for a relationship, you're going to be thinking about marriage.

633
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.600
You're looking for a partner, you're not living in, you should be.

634
00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:33.560
You're not looking for like a hookup.

635
00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:34.720
You're not looking for a flame.

636
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.040
You're looking for who can I do the rest of my life with.

637
00:26:37.040 --> 00:26:38.040
Correct.

638
00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:41.840
And it's worth just acknowledging that life is really long.

639
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:45.440
It's 80 years, potentially longer.

640
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.040
And if you're trying to find a partner throughout that, you're going to have way harder times

641
00:26:49.040 --> 00:26:50.040
than in your 20s.

642
00:26:50.040 --> 00:26:51.040
Yeah, thanks.

643
00:26:51.040 --> 00:26:52.800
You're going to have really tricky times in your 50s.

644
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:54.840
You're going to have a really hard times in your 30s.

645
00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:56.760
You never know what life will bring.

646
00:26:56.760 --> 00:27:00.600
Maybe you'll live perfectly till you're 80, but it's not often the case.

647
00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:06.760
And so you've got to also be like, oh man, is this someone that I can actually adapt

648
00:27:06.760 --> 00:27:07.760
with?

649
00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:08.760
Is this someone I can grow with?

650
00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:11.440
Is this someone who I can just simply commit to?

651
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.960
Because I see something of Jesus.

652
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.960
Yeah.

653
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.040
Does he just clean on to Jesus?

654
00:27:15.040 --> 00:27:18.680
Because ultimately that is what will pull you through 80 years of life together.

655
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.960
There's quite a few, I mean, I've still got like eight questions to go, but we're only

656
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.960
going to do one more for the sake of time.

657
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.800
Let's go with pride.

658
00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.800
There's a few of those.

659
00:27:29.800 --> 00:27:30.800
There's a guy called Byron.

660
00:27:30.800 --> 00:27:34.560
I know for me, I did go a little bit into storytelling.

661
00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:39.560
I was 15 when I started doing TikTok and I started the guitars.

662
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:40.560
I remember.

663
00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:41.560
You remember?

664
00:27:41.560 --> 00:27:42.560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

665
00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:43.560
What do you remember?

666
00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:46.080
You all went up on TikTok for looking very good and doing some really cool electric

667
00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:47.080
guitar stuff.

668
00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:48.840
You were 15 when TikTok, like that blows my mind.

669
00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:51.160
I thought you were talking about when I was like 22.

670
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.160
It did.

671
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.160
I was just 15.

672
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:54.160
I'm old.

673
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.160
Never.

674
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.160
Never.

675
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.160
Yeah.

676
00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:59.160
I was on TikTok.

677
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:00.160
I was.

678
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:02.640
The whole page was centered around me.

679
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:03.640
Yeah.

680
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.880
It was how good looking can I be?

681
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.000
How funny can I be?

682
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.520
Because that's what all draw in the likes, the subscription, the numbers.

683
00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:10.680
The numbers.

684
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.680
And it worked.

685
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.520
And that's like the weird tension in it.

686
00:28:14.520 --> 00:28:17.960
But I remember being a Christian at that time.

687
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.960
It's funny.

688
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.960
You can call that a time where you walked away from Christ because you're clearly vain.

689
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.320
There was an element of vanity, but I remember like being like, but God, how do I navigate

690
00:28:27.320 --> 00:28:28.320
this?

691
00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:33.040
Because this feels really good to get like interaction because of my looks.

692
00:28:33.040 --> 00:28:34.040
It feels really good.

693
00:28:34.040 --> 00:28:35.040
It thams you.

694
00:28:35.040 --> 00:28:40.280
And like sometimes pride can feel really good because it touches on something in a heart

695
00:28:40.280 --> 00:28:44.960
which longs to be seen, known, loved, called with good enough.

696
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:49.480
And the only thing is like choosing to let God do those things for us and not choosing

697
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.480
the world to do it.

698
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.480
Yeah.

699
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:57.320
I remember hitting 18, 17, 18, starting doing the way UK started like getting a bit of

700
00:28:57.320 --> 00:28:58.320
traction on that.

701
00:28:58.320 --> 00:29:02.600
And I remember these problems beginning to like stir up and me again like, wow, I looked

702
00:29:02.600 --> 00:29:07.320
good whilst I was talking about Jesus online, you know, okay, like I asked a really clever

703
00:29:07.320 --> 00:29:12.520
question there and that like, wow, look at me go and like I began to feel a bit prideful

704
00:29:12.520 --> 00:29:13.520
towards it.

705
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:16.760
But this time I wasn't scared of it because it was familiar to me.

706
00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:18.560
It was like, oh, I stopped.

707
00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:19.560
I stepped back.

708
00:29:19.560 --> 00:29:20.560
I looked at my thoughts.

709
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:24.920
I've heard these voices before and they're not the voice of God because I now know

710
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:26.720
the voice of God because I listen to the voice of God.

711
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.360
I spend time with the voice of God.

712
00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:32.200
And so I'm like, okay, these these thoughts are coming back.

713
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:36.360
But I know that this isn't me and I'm not going to live in shame because these thoughts

714
00:29:36.360 --> 00:29:37.360
are coming in.

715
00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:41.160
I think people have a moment where they think a prideful thought and they let themselves

716
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.120
spiral because they think, oh man, I've had a prideful thought.

717
00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:45.120
Can I be a Christian?

718
00:29:45.120 --> 00:29:49.320
Maybe I should just stop everything and move to a barn and never speak to anyone again.

719
00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:54.120
Like actually we get so caught up in shame and go spiral rather than just being like,

720
00:29:54.120 --> 00:30:00.560
ah, it's normal and some days to feel like a little bit more lean, like lean to a little

721
00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:03.960
bit more towards pride and have to kill it off.

722
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.560
That's what being a Christian is.

723
00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:11.040
It's consistently daily turning to Jesus instead of turning to old thinking parents.

724
00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:16.080
And so if you feel pride coming up in you, like, I wouldn't be scared and I wouldn't

725
00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:17.080
feel shame.

726
00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:21.560
I'd just be like, oh gosh, this is going on or this is the need for the daily rhythms

727
00:30:21.560 --> 00:30:22.560
or repentance.

728
00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:24.400
Like we talked about earlier in the podcast.

729
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.760
This is why that's so important because I need to be dependent on Jesus and bring it

730
00:30:27.760 --> 00:30:29.000
to him.

731
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:35.160
And so it's like, but I also think false humility is another really interesting topic because

732
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:39.160
in the name of humility you can not step into the fullness of what God has called you

733
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:40.160
to.

734
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.160
Right.

735
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.480
I know there's been moments where I've like, I'm not a big like any more like not a big

736
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:50.000
fan of the numbers, not a big fan of being the name, but I do feel God called me to

737
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.500
it for a season.

738
00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:56.120
And so I like at points could have been falsely humble and be like, are anything to do with

739
00:30:56.120 --> 00:30:57.120
numbers?

740
00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:58.120
Yeah.

741
00:30:58.120 --> 00:30:59.120
Mike trigger an ego.

742
00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:00.520
So therefore I should stay clear of it.

743
00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:02.120
And I had to push past it in myself.

744
00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:06.520
I had to be like, actually, if God is really cool in this, God, are you really cool in this?

745
00:31:06.520 --> 00:31:07.840
Okay, you are.

746
00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:12.320
Then I'm going to trust that when the numbers come, I will turn to you and I won't let

747
00:31:12.320 --> 00:31:13.320
you go take over.

748
00:31:13.320 --> 00:31:14.320
Yeah.

749
00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:21.520
You have to recognize like a godly confidence, a godly identity thing, security to step out

750
00:31:21.520 --> 00:31:22.520
into that.

751
00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:26.680
And that only comes from spending time with Jesus and rhythms of repentance and also being

752
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:33.280
humbled like something scary is praying.

753
00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:34.280
Lord humble me.

754
00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:37.640
I remember praying that and literally day after like, it's crazy.

755
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.000
My whole life got flipped up, sit down like it's a scary prayer to pray, but it's one

756
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.000
of the best ways.

757
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:46.120
And I think the thing with pride, the problem with pride as a vice is that it creeps

758
00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:49.680
up on you without you often realizing it until it's too late and often you need other

759
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:54.120
people to call out, but if you're already prideful, you're struggling because you don't

760
00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:55.440
want other people to call out.

761
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.720
That's the reason why pride is so damaging because it's one of those subtle sins which

762
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.960
often you're completely blind to, but other people are aware of it.

763
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.320
So that's why you need accountability and you need people who are willing and you've

764
00:32:06.320 --> 00:32:09.040
given them permission to come into your life and say, bro, this isn't right.

765
00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:11.040
But your ego is getting too big.

766
00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:12.040
This is important.

767
00:32:12.040 --> 00:32:19.280
I also say that pride isn't a, it's not a problem about numbers particularly or thinking

768
00:32:19.280 --> 00:32:22.160
you're better than other people.

769
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.240
It's more, it's a value issue.

770
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.760
It's like what you're valuing, that's the key thing of like the pride issue.

771
00:32:28.760 --> 00:32:32.480
It's you're valuing the wrong things, often it's that we're valuing ourselves more than

772
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.800
we're valuing others, which obviously Jesus did perfectly isn't, he valued others way

773
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:39.280
more than he valued himself because he was perfectly God and he's still laid his life

774
00:32:39.280 --> 00:32:42.520
down and humbled himself.

775
00:32:42.520 --> 00:32:48.760
But the key thing to remember is that pride is a value malfunction.

776
00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:54.240
So if you have loads of numbers and you're really excited by that because you realize

777
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:00.160
you're impacting tons of people, you're valuing the impact, you're not valuing the numbers.

778
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:04.320
And if the impact is done in a way that's positive, then actually you should be really

779
00:33:04.320 --> 00:33:07.800
happy about that and should be praising the Lord for that because you're clearly doing

780
00:33:07.800 --> 00:33:10.880
the right thing and the Lord's clearly working for you because you're not valuing the

781
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:13.880
thing, you're not valuing the numbers, you're valuing the changes that they're occurring

782
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.880
on them.

783
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:22.560
Yeah, bro, I would love to just on the pride thing touch on another topic which we haven't

784
00:33:22.560 --> 00:33:30.400
really hit which is like lust and porn because to me, these are surface top level issues,

785
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:38.800
like pride or lust or insecurity, feeling not good enough.

786
00:33:38.800 --> 00:33:43.440
Like these are all the top level and at the root of all of these things is my beliefs

787
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:52.440
about who I actually am, yeah, my identity and the thing is like, say if you're, I don't

788
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:58.040
know who's watching this right now, but to the young guys like 17, 16 year old guy,

789
00:33:58.040 --> 00:34:02.080
if you're watching this and thinking like, I want to be a masculine man of God, but I'm

790
00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:06.080
really struggling with pride, I'm really struggling with lust, I'm really trying.

791
00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:09.680
I really want to be, but I just can't because I'm just not good enough.

792
00:34:09.680 --> 00:34:13.960
It's like you have to catch what you actually believe about yourself.

793
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:19.080
Like I'm saying this to you, listening right now, you actually are good enough to stand

794
00:34:19.080 --> 00:34:24.000
holy and blameless before God, not because of anything that you've done, but because

795
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.040
of the fact that Jesus died on the cross to remove all of your sin and make you a new

796
00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:32.600
creation, you've been washed whiter than snow.

797
00:34:32.600 --> 00:34:37.000
Like I don't know if you guys ever find this, but you ever find like you give in to sin

798
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:41.840
and then you pray for repentance and to be forgiven and then you mope around wondering

799
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:42.840
if you're forgiven.

800
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:43.840
Yeah.

801
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.840
Like oh God, I just did this thing again, like, oh, would you please forgive me?

802
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.840
Yeah.

803
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.840
Oh, I'm such a loser.

804
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:52.320
Like God, please, please forgive me and he's just there like forgiven.

805
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:53.320
Yeah.

806
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.800
So I know that because Christ is hanging on that tree.

807
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.120
That's how I know that.

808
00:34:57.120 --> 00:35:02.480
So I'm like, all right, God, I'm so sorry, done this thing again, like I repent.

809
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:06.560
It's like boom, thanks for forgiving me, thanks for following me, thank you for making

810
00:35:06.560 --> 00:35:10.080
me a new creation for making me a true man.

811
00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:17.240
And I tell you what guys like the word for us is an overcome to be an overcome like to

812
00:35:17.240 --> 00:35:19.960
be to follow the call of Christ is hard.

813
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:25.360
It's really hard because you're denying everything you were born into to step into a new

814
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:29.800
identity of all the new things that the old has passed away and the new is here.

815
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:31.600
And that's really difficult.

816
00:35:31.600 --> 00:35:37.240
But the one who goes before us who said follow me is the one who overcame not only all things

817
00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:39.960
in life, but sin and death itself.

818
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:44.200
And if he said follow me, it means that you can, you wouldn't ask you to follow him if

819
00:35:44.200 --> 00:35:45.200
you couldn't do it.

820
00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:46.200
So good.

821
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:50.840
Yeah, you are an overcome, and you can overcome whatever you're struggling with right now.

822
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.520
I just want to say that good, bro.

823
00:35:52.520 --> 00:35:56.360
Yeah, so it's funny when you're coming to land, you've got like all the final points.

824
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:57.960
Yeah, I'm like, these are fun.

825
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:05.120
I like to say that again, yeah, yeah, but because when I was when I was 17, 16, I was so struggling

826
00:36:05.120 --> 00:36:09.480
and so stuck in in lust and so broken.

827
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:11.840
And I just needed to hear this.

828
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.520
I didn't have an older brother figure.

829
00:36:13.600 --> 00:36:14.920
I didn't have a mental figure.

830
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:16.320
I had no one.

831
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:17.920
It felt like at least I did.

832
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.160
I had my dad and stuff, but it felt like I was so alone.

833
00:36:22.160 --> 00:36:24.960
And the reality is that we're not really not.

834
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.960
Yeah, that was so good.

835
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:34.200
And I think it's good to recognize that like even now I can feel like that, even now

836
00:36:34.200 --> 00:36:37.280
I can like forget that I can just say sorry.

837
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.440
And like for those 17 watching, 14 watching, 20 watching, 30 watching, 50 watching.

838
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.800
Yeah, it's like this is an ongoing journey.

839
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.120
We haven't got it.

840
00:36:48.120 --> 00:36:52.360
It's about learning to come to Christ and I know for me, I've, there's something you said

841
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:56.560
saying that I like again, we're just re-emphasized, but then the need for accountability.

842
00:36:56.560 --> 00:36:57.560
Yep.

843
00:36:57.560 --> 00:36:58.560
I mean, yeah, it's hard.

844
00:36:58.560 --> 00:36:59.560
I have it every week.

845
00:36:59.560 --> 00:37:00.560
It's hard as guys.

846
00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:01.560
Yes, so do I.

847
00:37:01.560 --> 00:37:02.560
I like to meet with a guy.

848
00:37:02.560 --> 00:37:05.040
I got off the rails if I didn't have accountability every week.

849
00:37:05.040 --> 00:37:06.040
That's crazy.

850
00:37:06.040 --> 00:37:07.040
Thank you.

851
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:08.040
I called me while I was in the gym.

852
00:37:08.040 --> 00:37:09.040
Oh, I did.

853
00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:10.040
Yeah, that was great.

854
00:37:10.040 --> 00:37:11.040
Yeah, yeah.

855
00:37:11.040 --> 00:37:12.040
Thank you for that.

856
00:37:12.040 --> 00:37:13.040
You can just pick up the phone.

857
00:37:13.040 --> 00:37:14.040
Yeah.

858
00:37:14.040 --> 00:37:15.040
I'm struggling.

859
00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:16.040
I'm struggling right now, help.

860
00:37:16.040 --> 00:37:17.040
Oh, so good.

861
00:37:17.040 --> 00:37:18.040
Yeah, yeah.

862
00:37:18.040 --> 00:37:19.040
Well, that's it, isn't it?

863
00:37:19.040 --> 00:37:21.080
It's like, it's choosing to make the call.

864
00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:22.320
It's always a choice.

865
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:23.600
We have a choice.

866
00:37:23.600 --> 00:37:25.880
So let's choose to like, press into brotherhood.

867
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.880
How do you do that?

868
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:28.960
You regularly see each other.

869
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:33.040
You choose to ask difficult questions and you push past the awkwardness.

870
00:37:33.040 --> 00:37:34.280
I do that once a week.

871
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:35.280
You do that once a week.

872
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:36.280
You do that once a week.

873
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.520
It sounds like it's so vital.

874
00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:41.560
Finding rhythms and propensions.

875
00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:42.840
So vital.

876
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.360
Remembering who we are as a son.

877
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.800
It's so vital.

878
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:48.760
Guys, this has been awesome.

879
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.120
Again, it feels like we've got so much more.

880
00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:52.920
It's the hard thing about podcast guys.

Ben wouldn't spin ministry on Instagram.

Awesome stuff.

895

Awesome stuff.

896
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:22.320
Sam, Sam, read music on YouTube,

897
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.560
come for the worship times.

898
00:38:23.560 --> 00:38:25.960
You've once listened to Sam set.

899
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.960
How many times?

900
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:27.840
Oh, bro, yeah.

901
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.360
I went through a really hard time last year and played.

902
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.040
You're so good to me.

903
00:38:32.040 --> 00:38:34.040
Worship song, probably like a hundred times.

904
00:38:34.040 --> 00:38:34.880
It's crazy.

905
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.880
Every day.

906
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:36.880
That number goes a long time.

907
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:38.600
I said 50 times last time.

908
00:38:38.600 --> 00:38:39.800
100 is 150 times.

909
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:40.640
Oh my God.

910
00:38:40.640 --> 00:38:41.480
300 times.

911
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:43.080
I don't want to go into it.

912
00:38:43.080 --> 00:38:45.600
And yeah, guys, do check it out.

913
00:38:45.600 --> 00:38:46.760
