WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.441 --> 00:00:08.820 So hey everybody, we are in a time and a season in our nation and that it's unusual. 2 00:00:09.901 --> 00:00:21.860 Unusual in the sense that a remarkable thing is happening and that is in the area of what will our community be like? 3 00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:23.720 What will your neighborhood be like? 4 00:00:24.884 --> 00:00:29.040 what kind of school will your kids go to? 5 00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:29.773 What will they learn? 6 00:00:30.381 --> 00:00:32.580 Does that matter to you? 7 00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:35.960 Maybe you're single and you don't care about things like that. 8 00:00:36.521 --> 00:00:39.420 You have the luxury of too much time on your hands, 9 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.780 which is very scary, by the way, 10 00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:45.580 because we're required to manage our time to the glory of God. 11 00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:47.460 But you're not even thinking on those lines. 12 00:00:48.144 --> 00:00:50.740 You're thinking more of, hey, you know what? 13 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:59.940 We're going to drive to Santa Barbara this weekend, or we're going to head up to, you know, the Hamptons, 14 00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:05.040 or we're going to go down to South Beach or wherever you're at, 15 00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:09.440 or maybe you're going to be out there and go to the rodeo. 16 00:01:10.821 --> 00:01:16.180 And you're just thinking open thoughts like that because it's getting near the weekend, 17 00:01:16.581 --> 00:01:22.060 and you're calling friends and you're going to see how you're going to fill your time this weekend. 18 00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:29.200 And my point in this podcast is not to discuss if that's right or wrong. 19 00:01:30.302 --> 00:01:34.240 My point in this podcast is to point out that you do have that freedom to do that. 20 00:01:36.801 --> 00:01:43.500 And when I talk about what kind of future is in store for your neighborhood, your street where you live on, 21 00:01:45.266 --> 00:01:49.080 do you know how that is to be answered there's a way to find out 22 00:01:51.124 --> 00:01:58.680 and that is by finding out how your city is being led by community leaders 23 00:02:01.487 --> 00:02:07.040 now look there's a lot of influencers in the world and let's be honest most of them we don't 24 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:07.521 care about. 25 00:02:10.429 --> 00:02:14.160 There could be a hundred of them that are interesting, but let's be honest, 26 00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:18.588 you don't care about 95 of them. 27 00:02:21.333 --> 00:02:22.094 Highly possible. 28 00:02:23.256 --> 00:02:25.420 But did you ever stop to realize that those that 29 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:32.940 are people that you probably don't even know their names are making decisions that will affect 30 00:02:34.005 --> 00:02:37.260 literally your, oh, I was reaching for my wallet. 31 00:02:37.745 --> 00:02:38.300 Forgot my wallet. 32 00:02:40.185 --> 00:02:41.540 I was going to reach for my wallet to say, 33 00:02:41.660 --> 00:02:42.780 they're making decisions. 34 00:02:43.741 --> 00:02:45.840 They're actually going to get inside of your wallet 35 00:02:46.084 --> 00:02:46.879 and take money out 36 00:02:48.288 --> 00:02:50.099 because they have the authority to do that, 37 00:02:51.144 --> 00:02:52.620 because we've given them that authority. 38 00:02:54.806 --> 00:02:55.759 And you don't even know their names. 39 00:02:57.345 --> 00:02:58.499 And then they're going to make decisions 40 00:02:59.703 --> 00:03:05.280 about what's going to be allowed in your community, 41 00:03:05.502 --> 00:03:06.780 on your street, your neighborhood. 42 00:03:07.725 --> 00:03:08.739 They're going to make rules. 43 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:10.079 They're going to make laws. 44 00:03:11.382 --> 00:03:16.000 They're going to make decisions 45 00:03:17.646 --> 00:03:21.620 that will affect you and your future life 46 00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:24.620 and your children and your grandchildren. 47 00:03:25.603 --> 00:03:26.779 And I want to ask you right now, 48 00:03:29.287 --> 00:03:32.697 are you tempted to turn this off right now because it's too practical?
