1
00:00:00,900 –> 00:00:04,500
You’re listening to the season
finale of season 2 of the way.

2
00:00:04,500 –> 00:00:08,900
Did you see God podcast?
We’ve just spent the last season

3
00:00:09,000 –> 00:00:13,000
diving into our experience,
doing the family, discipleship,

4
00:00:13,000 –> 00:00:15,000
training school, through youth,
with a mission.

5
00:00:15,400 –> 00:00:18,800
And we finished, we’ve done
three months, a lecture, we’ve

6
00:00:18,800 –> 00:00:22,200
done two months of Outreach and
we’ve been home for a month and

7
00:00:22,200 –> 00:00:24,000
we are still processing all
that.

8
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:26,600
God has done all that he has
taught us and we’re going to be

9
00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:29,900
doing so for a long time.
But in this episode, my wife and

10
00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:33,300
I see Sit down and share a bit
about the Outreach experience.

11
00:00:33,300 –> 00:00:37,500
We share the 10 significant
moments, 10, significant

12
00:00:37,500 –> 00:00:41,300
elements of that, Outreach
experience, and how God did

13
00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:44,100
powerful things.
And so we’re really excited for

14
00:00:44,100 –> 00:00:47,100
you to be able to hear that and
hopefully be inspired by that.

15
00:00:47,100 –> 00:00:49,900
And before we get started I also
want to just encourage everyone

16
00:00:50,200 –> 00:00:53,100
because we are recording this in
the midst of the coronavirus

17
00:00:53,100 –> 00:00:56,300
pandemic.
And it is a time that can be

18
00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,600
Confusing frightening,
frustrating.

19
00:01:02,300 –> 00:01:05,099
I mean, you could keep on
listing words, you may be

20
00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:08,000
feeling one or multiple of those
emotions right now.

21
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:12,200
And our hope is that, this can
be an encouragement for you.

22
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:16,400
In the midst of these times,
that past episodes can be an

23
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:19,400
encouragement to you, because
the truth is no matter what’s

24
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:21,300
happening?
God is still God, and God is

25
00:01:21,300 –> 00:01:25,400
still good, it can be hard to
know how that can be true in

26
00:01:25,400 –> 00:01:28,700
moments like these when people
are getting And people are dying

27
00:01:28,700 –> 00:01:33,100
and there is a lot of fear but
part of our journey in learning

28
00:01:33,100 –> 00:01:37,700
to walk towards God, is to say
I’m choosing to believe that God

29
00:01:37,700 –> 00:01:42,300
is God that he is powerful and
that he is good that he is

30
00:01:42,300 –> 00:01:45,500
loving and even though I don’t
understand how that could be

31
00:01:45,500 –> 00:01:49,000
true here I’m going to walk
forward as though it is true and

32
00:01:49,000 –> 00:01:53,300
then watch how God demonstrates
that truth and so be encouraged

33
00:01:53,300 –> 00:01:55,400
today, no matter what you’re
going through, whether you’re

34
00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:58,700
afraid of your health.
Thor, you’re afraid of the

35
00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:01,500
financial implications or you’re
afraid for family.

36
00:02:02,100 –> 00:02:05,200
God has not given us a spirit of
fear, but of power and love and

37
00:02:05,200 –> 00:02:08,000
self-discipline.
And somehow he is going to

38
00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:10,100
create a way for us to work
through this not just

39
00:02:10,100 –> 00:02:12,700
individually but together so be
encouraged.

40
00:02:13,300 –> 00:02:16,600
You’re listening to episode 40
of the where did you see God

41
00:02:16,600 –> 00:02:34,200
podcast?
Yeah, we just thinking that you

42
00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:38,000
are God and you are good and we
just thank you for the gift that

43
00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:42,100
you gave us of the family, DTS
the gift that you’re giving.

44
00:02:42,100 –> 00:02:47,500
Its now of time to just stop and
process, I give everything that

45
00:02:47,500 –> 00:02:50,600
you’ve done over the last five
months and Beyond.

46
00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:54,100
And so we just give you this
time and pray that if there’s

47
00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:57,200
anything that you want to bring,
Mind you would do it.

48
00:02:57,208 –> 00:03:00,000
If there’s anything that we
should speak out that we would

49
00:03:00,000 –> 00:03:02,100
speak it.
We just pray the Holy Spirit

50
00:03:02,100 –> 00:03:07,300
would guide our words in this
time and All For Your Glory as

51
00:03:07,300 –> 00:03:08,300
your parents.
Holy name.

52
00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:14,600
Amen.
So this is our final episode

53
00:03:15,000 –> 00:03:17,900
focusing in on the family DTS.
And we’re actually getting to

54
00:03:17,900 –> 00:03:22,800
this late because our re-entry
was was challenging the last

55
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:27,500
month has been filled with
everything from sickness to

56
00:03:27,500 –> 00:03:31,100
spiritual attacks to just hard,
or challenging, or confusing

57
00:03:31,100 –> 00:03:33,100
things.
And so there’s been a lot that’s

58
00:03:33,100 –> 00:03:36,300
been happening.
Yes, we are coming to you from

59
00:03:38,200 –> 00:03:48,700
the social distancing era.
Yeah, and yeah, hopefully amidst

60
00:03:48,900 –> 00:03:52,100
all the craziness going on and
maybe some of the extra free

61
00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:53,600
time you have.
This is something that will

62
00:03:53,600 –> 00:03:55,400
encourage you.
The other reason you haven’t

63
00:03:55,400 –> 00:03:58,200
really heard from us too much,
just because Outreach was really

64
00:03:58,200 –> 00:04:03,700
busy and it was really hard to
find time to sit down and

65
00:04:03,700 –> 00:04:06,200
process.
I know Paul put out a few

66
00:04:06,200 –> 00:04:07,700
stories that will reference
here.

67
00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:12,600
It kind of felt like radio
silence probably to some of the

68
00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:15,400
people who are used to hearing
from us on a regular basis

69
00:04:16,500 –> 00:04:18,100
because it was really busy.
Yeah.

70
00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:22,800
And honestly what we have been
told and especially during our

71
00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:25,800
debrief week which will get more
into later.

72
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:31,500
We were told it could be a while
for us to really take in

73
00:04:31,500 –> 00:04:33,700
process.
Figure out, think through all

74
00:04:33,700 –> 00:04:36,500
that happen.
In fact I’ll be joining the yym

75
00:04:36,500 –> 00:04:40,800
staff soon but the The executive
director even said hey don’t

76
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:43,000
rush in because you just
experienced something really

77
00:04:43,000 –> 00:04:45,600
intense and it’s going to take a
while to process that.

78
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:49,000
And so one of the ways that we
want to process that and even

79
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:53,200
share with you, some of the
things that God has done is by

80
00:04:53,200 –> 00:04:58,500
doing our own top 10 list of
significant moments and elements

81
00:04:58,500 –> 00:05:02,800
of our Outreach experience.
And so this isn’t a holistic

82
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:05,100
list, there’s so much more that
we could share and there’s so

83
00:05:05,100 –> 00:05:08,200
much more we could share about
each one but this Least give a

84
00:05:08,208 –> 00:05:09,400
taste.
And so if there’s something you

85
00:05:09,400 –> 00:05:12,900
here and you want to learn more
reach out to us if you know us

86
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:15,900
or you can reach out through
Messenger and we would love to

87
00:05:15,900 –> 00:05:18,700
share more of what God has done.
So yeah, we’re just going to

88
00:05:18,700 –> 00:05:21,700
jump in.
These are 10 of the ways that we

89
00:05:21,900 –> 00:05:26,500
saw God work, experience God,
moving heard God speak that made

90
00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:29,500
that Outreach experience for us
and for the families who are

91
00:05:29,500 –> 00:05:33,300
serving with so powerful.
And so one of the big things is

92
00:05:33,300 –> 00:05:37,700
the way that God created anchors
in the way that God guided.

93
00:05:37,800 –> 00:05:40,600
Our Outreach even from the
start.

94
00:05:41,100 –> 00:05:45,200
And so there are many examples
of that one of those is Maria’s

95
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:47,600
dream which there’s a separate
episode of so I won’t get into

96
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:50,600
details of that there.
But that shaped our

97
00:05:50,600 –> 00:05:52,400
understanding that this was
God’s Outreach.

98
00:05:52,400 –> 00:05:54,900
That he was working in that he
was going to do big things.

99
00:05:55,400 –> 00:06:00,700
One of our fellow team members
Nina, got a word, a scripture

100
00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:02,800
and she shared that she doesn’t.
That’s not something that

101
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:04,900
happens often for her.
That a scripture just pops out

102
00:06:04,900 –> 00:06:06,300
of nowhere.
And she didn’t even know what

103
00:06:06,300 –> 00:06:09,300
the scripture was.
Galatians 6:10.

104
00:06:10,100 –> 00:06:13,600
So then as we have opportunity,
let us do good to everyone and

105
00:06:13,600 –> 00:06:16,000
especially to those who are of
the household of faith.

106
00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:19,400
And at first, that one was a
tricky one for me because my

107
00:06:19,400 –> 00:06:21,800
thought was, well, we are, we
just going to focus on the

108
00:06:21,800 –> 00:06:24,500
household of faith it says,
especially them like, is that

109
00:06:24,500 –> 00:06:25,900
really what Outreach is supposed
to be?

110
00:06:25,900 –> 00:06:29,500
But by the end of Outreach, we
realize that actually was one of

111
00:06:29,508 –> 00:06:30,900
the things that God intended to
do.

112
00:06:30,900 –> 00:06:34,700
He wanted to use our team’s
Readiness and willingness to

113
00:06:34,700 –> 00:06:37,600
bless others who were serving
long-term at the Y.

114
00:06:37,600 –> 00:06:39,800
We Richmond base.
Why when Virginia Beach Base

115
00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:42,100
Hawaii?
When Chico base and even other

116
00:06:42,100 –> 00:06:46,400
Ministries, God also spoke
through Maria with some random

117
00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:48,500
words that that shaped our
Outreach.

118
00:06:48,500 –> 00:06:51,600
One of them which church tour
and we found that God used us to

119
00:06:51,600 –> 00:06:56,300
actually go into a couple
churches to share a message of

120
00:06:56,300 –> 00:07:00,600
what it means to not just hear
what God is saying but to stand

121
00:07:00,600 –> 00:07:04,600
and to walk into that and the
words First Love which ended up

122
00:07:04,600 –> 00:07:09,200
being something that got put on
hoodies that Team war and

123
00:07:09,200 –> 00:07:12,400
something significant about that
is that there are so many

124
00:07:12,400 –> 00:07:15,500
conversations that happen.
Not because we approach the

125
00:07:15,500 –> 00:07:18,700
person, but because the person
saw our hoodies and said first

126
00:07:18,700 –> 00:07:21,900
love, what does that mean?
And God used that, as a way for

127
00:07:21,900 –> 00:07:25,800
us to be able to speak about his
love for us and conversations.

128
00:07:25,800 –> 00:07:30,800
We never would have pursued.
Yeah, and all of these words

129
00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:33,700
from the Lord were received
during our lecture phase.

130
00:07:34,100 –> 00:07:37,700
So, there were times where we
sat together.

131
00:07:37,800 –> 00:07:42,300
Gather as a team and interceded
for our Outreach.

132
00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:46,400
And we listen for words, from
God, and they just ended up

133
00:07:46,400 –> 00:07:48,900
being.
Yes, so significant in really

134
00:07:48,900 –> 00:07:52,800
anchoring us and I do encourage
you to listen to the podcast on

135
00:07:52,800 –> 00:07:56,500
Maria’s dream but wanted to give
a little bit more detail on that

136
00:07:56,500 –> 00:08:01,000
in that the week that we were
all Discerning where we should

137
00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:02,900
go for outreach.
She had this dream.

138
00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:06,200
She also doesn’t normally have
dreams and it was of these

139
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:07,700
building, she didn’t really
know.

140
00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:11,100
What they were, but she saw the
king walking among these

141
00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:14,500
buildings.
And then our very first day of

142
00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:16,900
Outreach when we were taking the
tour of the city.

143
00:08:16,900 –> 00:08:20,700
We were actually supposed to go
somewhere else and ended up

144
00:08:20,700 –> 00:08:25,900
going to the capital, the, the
capital of Virginia.

145
00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:29,800
And Maria said, this is what I
saw in my dream and that was so

146
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:33,000
encouraging to all of us
because, you know, we were a

147
00:08:33,000 –> 00:08:37,299
pioneering Outreach in the, the
mainland us.

148
00:08:37,299 –> 00:08:41,299
Most It’s almost all outreaches
are international and a lot of

149
00:08:41,299 –> 00:08:45,300
this kind of started with us to
of saying, we don’t feel peace

150
00:08:45,300 –> 00:08:47,300
about going somewhere
internationally and having the

151
00:08:47,308 –> 00:08:48,900
leadership.
Pray about what it would look

152
00:08:48,900 –> 00:08:51,900
like to do an Outreach in our
own City.

153
00:08:51,900 –> 00:08:58,400
And so it was so encouraging to
know that like God was in this

154
00:08:58,400 –> 00:09:01,900
and God had planned this.
And we just held we had to hold

155
00:09:01,900 –> 00:09:04,300
to that because as you’ll hear,
we had some really challenging

156
00:09:04,300 –> 00:09:06,500
moments.
So I think let’s go ahead and

157
00:09:06,500 –> 00:09:09,200
start moving.
On to some of the other aspects

158
00:09:09,200 –> 00:09:12,200
of our Outreach.
So there were a lot of ways that

159
00:09:12,200 –> 00:09:14,600
we served with a lot of
different Ministries.

160
00:09:14,600 –> 00:09:17,600
I’m going to talk about two that
really stood out to us both were

161
00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:21,000
in Richmond.
One was a homeless Ministry that

162
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:25,500
one of the staff at why we in
Virginia had started so Friday

163
00:09:25,500 –> 00:09:29,900
nights downtown, he’ll serve a
meal and pretty much just get

164
00:09:29,900 –> 00:09:33,700
people off the streets to come
and eat together and do a Bible

165
00:09:33,700 –> 00:09:35,000
study.
And there were some really

166
00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:37,600
amazing stories that came from
that Paul actually did.

167
00:09:37,700 –> 00:09:42,100
Podcast on one involving Dawn,
you should listen to that one.

168
00:09:42,100 –> 00:09:44,400
For sure.
And we only went to one as an

169
00:09:44,400 –> 00:09:47,300
entire family as it was late and
kind of cold.

170
00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:50,200
It was really encouraging to see
how our team and if you don’t

171
00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:54,100
know already the other two team
families are from Norway but

172
00:09:54,100 –> 00:09:57,700
they just really love doing
homeless Ministry and it was

173
00:09:57,700 –> 00:10:01,100
really amazing to see how they
develop to heart for those in

174
00:10:01,100 –> 00:10:03,300
our community, who are the most
vulnerable.

175
00:10:03,600 –> 00:10:06,500
The other way, that I really
enjoyed serving with something

176
00:10:06,500 –> 00:10:08,900
called character Club.
It’s a Their Ministry that yym

177
00:10:08,900 –> 00:10:11,800
does every Thursday night
through one of the community

178
00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:14,500
centers in Fulton.
The neighborhood were why we mm

179
00:10:14,500 –> 00:10:16,700
is kind of centered.
You know, you never know how

180
00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:19,100
many kids will come.
Sometimes is like to sometimes

181
00:10:19,100 –> 00:10:23,900
it’s 10 and they have a meal and
they do a Bible study and they

182
00:10:23,900 –> 00:10:25,600
kind of have their certain way
of doing it.

183
00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:28,200
They kind of do it in small
groups and so that was our plan.

184
00:10:28,300 –> 00:10:31,100
Yeah, the first one I had
planned was that.

185
00:10:31,100 –> 00:10:32,800
Everybody would kind of do the
same story.

186
00:10:32,800 –> 00:10:34,800
I’m Jonah, we would do it in
small groups.

187
00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:37,100
But then we got there.
There were no like Elementary

188
00:10:37,100 –> 00:10:38,700
School age kids.
Kids and instead there were all

189
00:10:38,700 –> 00:10:41,700
these teenage boys who had come
to play basketball and there was

190
00:10:41,700 –> 00:10:44,500
no one to supervise them playing
basketball.

191
00:10:44,500 –> 00:10:47,700
And so they were told that we’ll
send some men to supervise them

192
00:10:47,700 –> 00:10:50,600
playing basketball.
If they set out on our Bible

193
00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:52,600
lesson for 10 minutes and I’m
like oh great.

194
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:56,500
These teenage guys are you know
being forced to listen to this

195
00:10:56,500 –> 00:10:57,700
lasso.
Like this is going to go over

196
00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:01,600
real well and it actually did
like this the Holy Spirit showed

197
00:11:01,600 –> 00:11:06,400
up and it ended up turning into
a lesson on the gospel and using

198
00:11:06,400 –> 00:11:09,600
the story of Jonah to About how
we are just as undeserving as

199
00:11:09,600 –> 00:11:11,700
the ninevites, if you’re
familiar with the story.

200
00:11:11,800 –> 00:11:14,900
Yeah, I felt a real favor.
They’re the people that they

201
00:11:14,900 –> 00:11:17,700
were listening.
They were engaged which if, you

202
00:11:17,708 –> 00:11:21,500
know, teenage boys is not always
a given, right?

203
00:11:21,500 –> 00:11:22,900
Especially when they want to
play basketball.

204
00:11:23,200 –> 00:11:27,800
And so, we ended the time and I
had at them, actually, repeat a

205
00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:32,500
prayer, like just ask receiving
the Lord’s Grace and his gift of

206
00:11:32,500 –> 00:11:35,800
Salvation through Jesus.
And I said, you know, pray it.

207
00:11:35,800 –> 00:11:39,600
And if you mean it, Up with
somebody and actually one of the

208
00:11:39,800 –> 00:11:42,300
women whose there on a regular
basis did follow up with them

209
00:11:42,300 –> 00:11:47,300
and four of them meant it.
And so these teenage guys got a

210
00:11:47,308 –> 00:11:51,100
chance to hear the gospel and
four of them decided that you

211
00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:54,700
know, they wanted to receive
God’s Gift of Grace and

212
00:11:54,700 –> 00:11:56,800
forgiveness through Jesus on
that night.

213
00:11:57,100 –> 00:11:59,800
And honestly I had a really
rough day which was kind of the

214
00:11:59,800 –> 00:12:02,900
norm for me during Outreach.
And if there was any time that I

215
00:12:02,900 –> 00:12:06,000
felt like I was kind of useless
and shouldn’t be the one

216
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:08,500
presenting this message.
It was Certainly on that day.

217
00:12:08,500 –> 00:12:10,800
So I think the Lord ministered
to me as well, but that was a

218
00:12:10,800 –> 00:12:14,200
really important thing for me.
And I also really got to see

219
00:12:14,600 –> 00:12:18,800
just how God has gifted me as a
teacher and yeah.

220
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:20,800
So that was a that was a
highlight for me.

221
00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:21,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

222
00:12:21,700 –> 00:12:26,100
And this second moment of
serving, you know, I think we

223
00:12:26,100 –> 00:12:28,700
could even do a top 10 list just
of ways.

224
00:12:28,700 –> 00:12:31,300
We saw a god work through the
opportunities, he gave us to

225
00:12:31,300 –> 00:12:34,500
serve.
And this time doesn’t do justice

226
00:12:34,500 –> 00:12:38,100
to all the ways God called us
into spaces and Moments and

227
00:12:38,100 –> 00:12:40,800
experiences.
But what I was so encouraged by

228
00:12:40,800 –> 00:12:42,300
his God worked in the normal
way.

229
00:12:42,300 –> 00:12:45,100
We would expect of blessing, you
know, those that are being

230
00:12:45,100 –> 00:12:48,900
served, but he also showed his
power and blessing us just as

231
00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:51,800
Becca mentioned, it wasn’t just
that she shared a good lesson.

232
00:12:51,900 –> 00:12:55,800
Not only did God impact those
kids, but he impacted Becca who

233
00:12:55,800 –> 00:12:59,400
came into that not expecting
anything phenomenal to happen.

234
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:01,100
Not even knowing if she wanted
to be there.

235
00:13:01,600 –> 00:13:05,500
But then God also blessed those
that were serving Beyond us.

236
00:13:05,800 –> 00:13:10,500
And I just remember how and
Bridged, the to yym staff were

237
00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:15,000
for days weeks after that moment
because it is hard to step into

238
00:13:15,000 –> 00:13:19,400
that space especially with youth
and teenagers where it can be

239
00:13:19,400 –> 00:13:22,600
hard, sometimes in know, what
kind of impact you’re having.

240
00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:26,600
But for them, God used that
moment to show his power in a

241
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:30,300
really beautiful way.
Number three, Outreach became a

242
00:13:30,300 –> 00:13:34,900
powerful time to know that God
still speaks and to help us to

243
00:13:34,900 –> 00:13:37,400
grow and learning how to hear
his voice.

244
00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:40,800
And there are so many we could
do a top 10 list of that as well

245
00:13:40,800 –> 00:13:43,500
moments, where we stepped in to
hearing God’s voice and he

246
00:13:43,500 –> 00:13:46,400
spoke.
But one story that’s been

247
00:13:46,400 –> 00:13:49,900
standing out to me is no matter
how many times I’ve engaged

248
00:13:49,900 –> 00:13:52,300
this, no many, how many times
I’ve talked about it.

249
00:13:52,700 –> 00:13:57,600
I still often struggle with
believing it and we, when we

250
00:13:57,600 –> 00:14:01,300
were in Chico, would spend our
Saturday’s, going to a farmers

251
00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:05,200
market, you have a lot of people
going in and out, and we would

252
00:14:05,200 –> 00:14:07,600
go to do what you’ve heard us
talk about in other episodes.

253
00:14:07,700 –> 00:14:11,300
Treasure hunt, the idea that God
Treasures everyone that he’s

254
00:14:11,300 –> 00:14:14,300
created and he wants us to go
and find those that He treasures

255
00:14:14,300 –> 00:14:16,600
and just share his love what we
will.

256
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,600
Normally do is pray and ask God,
hey is there anyone?

257
00:14:21,000 –> 00:14:23,900
You want us to look for anything
that you wanted to keep an eye

258
00:14:23,900 –> 00:14:26,800
out for anything that you want
us to know before we go out?

259
00:14:26,900 –> 00:14:29,200
And then we just listen will
inevitably.

260
00:14:29,200 –> 00:14:32,700
There are moments where I go
into that and doubt whether God

261
00:14:32,700 –> 00:14:37,200
will actually speak or I will
hear others sharing and say well

262
00:14:37,200 –> 00:14:38,600
God’s.
Speaking to them and really

263
00:14:38,600 –> 00:14:41,900
Vivid ways giving them pictures
in their minds or specific

264
00:14:41,900 –> 00:14:43,400
names.
But I don’t know if he’s going

265
00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:46,200
to give me anything no matter
how many times these I’ve heard

266
00:14:46,200 –> 00:14:47,800
him speak.
I will still have those moments

267
00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:51,500
of doubt and on this particular
day I was feeling that and I

268
00:14:51,500 –> 00:14:54,700
recognized that what God was
giving me an opportunity to do

269
00:14:54,700 –> 00:14:57,200
was just to take a step.
And so, I did that, I said, all

270
00:14:57,208 –> 00:14:59,800
right, God, I’m feeling like,
I’m not actually going to hear

271
00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,600
anything, but I’m going to ask.
Is there anything you want me to

272
00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:07,200
look for and almost immediately
orange tie dye shirt came in my

273
00:15:07,200 –> 00:15:09,100
mind.
Well then I had another

274
00:15:09,100 –> 00:15:11,500
opportunity to step towards God
because that seemed like utter

275
00:15:11,500 –> 00:15:14,200
nonsense.
I mean it was winter in Northern

276
00:15:14,200 –> 00:15:17,000
California.
I’m not going to see an orange

277
00:15:17,000 –> 00:15:19,200
tie dye shirt.
Surely this was something that I

278
00:15:19,208 –> 00:15:22,700
made up, but the step of Faith
was saying, okay, God, I don’t

279
00:15:22,700 –> 00:15:26,000
know if this is you or not, but
I’m going to actually look for

280
00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:28,300
that as a step of faith
believing that you can speak.

281
00:15:28,300 –> 00:15:33,000
And that this might be you, the
third step of Faith came when I

282
00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:34,900
was, you know, praying God would
order my steps.

283
00:15:34,900 –> 00:15:39,300
I found myself sinning by this
booth and I I look over and this

284
00:15:39,300 –> 00:15:45,300
booth is only selling tie-dye
clothing and sure enough.

285
00:15:45,300 –> 00:15:48,400
There is an orange tie-dyed
shirt and so I’m laughing in my

286
00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:52,000
head and the third step of faith
is saying, alright, now that I

287
00:15:52,000 –> 00:15:53,800
see it, what am I going to do
about it?

288
00:15:53,800 –> 00:15:57,300
And so there was a guy that was
by himself that was in charge of

289
00:15:57,300 –> 00:15:59,700
the shop.
I felt like that’s who I should

290
00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:01,200
talk to.
But I’m like what am I going to

291
00:16:01,208 –> 00:16:02,500
say?
Am I supposed to go in and

292
00:16:02,500 –> 00:16:04,200
evangelize?
Am I supposed to go in and like

293
00:16:04,200 –> 00:16:06,300
do the five finger gospel?
Like what in the world am I

294
00:16:06,300 –> 00:16:10,000
supposed to do is even Wanted.
And so what I did is I kind of

295
00:16:10,008 –> 00:16:13,800
stood there, I prayed, I ask God
for any kind of guidance and I

296
00:16:13,808 –> 00:16:18,900
waited until the customers that
were in there walked out and I

297
00:16:18,900 –> 00:16:21,300
just took that step of faith, I
walked in and I was like, hey

298
00:16:21,300 –> 00:16:24,600
man, hey, this is going to sound
a little crazy, but we’re out

299
00:16:24,600 –> 00:16:29,700
here because we believe that God
loves everyone, he’s created and

300
00:16:29,700 –> 00:16:32,400
he’s given us an invitation to
just go out and show that love

301
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:35,700
just by asking who we should
look for and pray for and talk

302
00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:38,700
to and He put orange tie dye
shirt in my mind.

303
00:16:38,700 –> 00:16:41,000
I didn’t think I’d see one and
here it is right beside me.

304
00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:43,300
So is there anything I can pray
for you about?

305
00:16:43,600 –> 00:16:46,700
And we had this really great
conversation, you know, he

306
00:16:47,700 –> 00:16:51,400
didn’t know what he believed
about God, but he had a heart

307
00:16:51,400 –> 00:16:55,300
for God’s creation.
He had a heart for people, he

308
00:16:55,300 –> 00:16:59,500
had a heart for showing love to
others of being grateful.

309
00:16:59,800 –> 00:17:03,500
He had spent time years before
being homeless and had come to

310
00:17:03,500 –> 00:17:07,800
understand that there’s so much
to be grateful for or he was

311
00:17:07,800 –> 00:17:09,599
wrestling with knowing what his
purpose was.

312
00:17:09,599 –> 00:17:13,599
And so all this came together to
give me an opportunity to just

313
00:17:13,599 –> 00:17:16,099
to pray.
Really genuinely for him for

314
00:17:16,099 –> 00:17:19,700
what God had done for him and
for God to really show him what

315
00:17:19,700 –> 00:17:23,000
his purpose was and he gave me a
couple hugs.

316
00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:25,500
We saw each other a couple more
times as we walked around.

317
00:17:26,099 –> 00:17:30,000
And so it was a beautiful moment
that came about because I took a

318
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:32,000
step and saying, God, is there
anything you want me to look

319
00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:33,800
for?
And then I just trusted God when

320
00:17:33,800 –> 00:17:36,700
orange tie dye shirt came to
mind and that is one of many.

321
00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:40,700
Many, many examples of God,
actually, speaking and doing

322
00:17:40,700 –> 00:17:42,700
amazing things.
When we actually move towards

323
00:17:42,700 –> 00:17:45,200
that too bad, he didn’t buy that
orange tie-dyed, I really should

324
00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:47,600
have and then I would wear it
all the time now or just hanging

325
00:17:47,600 –> 00:17:49,700
out you know, at our house as a
remembrance.

326
00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:54,500
So the fourth thing we’re going
to talk about is Christmas to

327
00:17:54,500 –> 00:17:59,200
Christmas was over Outreach and
Paul sobbing Christmas song.

328
00:17:59,200 –> 00:18:03,400
So we were the only family that
actually got to do Christmas in

329
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:06,600
our own home.
That was part of the family, DTS

330
00:18:06,800 –> 00:18:09,000
Yes.
But we also had some families

331
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:11,900
that were with us, that we knew
this was a hard time for them

332
00:18:11,900 –> 00:18:15,200
because they were away from
their family and their country

333
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:18,600
and their Traditions, right?
And the Norwegians have some

334
00:18:19,100 –> 00:18:25,000
really great Traditions, which
Paul’s mom actually looked up

335
00:18:25,400 –> 00:18:31,000
and we invited them over to her
house for Christmas Eve.

336
00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:32,800
And I was a little nervous about
this.

337
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:35,700
I was kind of praying about it
because I’m thinking oh

338
00:18:35,700 –> 00:18:38,100
goodness, you know, be Install
do this, right?

339
00:18:38,100 –> 00:18:39,500
Like are they going to feel at
home?

340
00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:44,700
And, you know, and it’s so bless
them and I just have to give a

341
00:18:44,708 –> 00:18:47,500
shout out to her.
I was so thankful to her.

342
00:18:47,500 –> 00:18:50,900
And for the ways that I saw God
working through her in just

343
00:18:51,100 –> 00:18:53,500
using her giftings of
hospitality.

344
00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:58,300
And yeah, she had made the food
that, you know, they normally

345
00:18:58,300 –> 00:19:02,300
eat on Christmas Eve.
She had gotten them presents.

346
00:19:02,500 –> 00:19:06,800
She had even made these special
paper ornaments and put them On

347
00:19:06,808 –> 00:19:09,500
the tree and they were just so
blessed.

348
00:19:09,500 –> 00:19:13,800
And and then the next night they
made us something called stick

349
00:19:13,800 –> 00:19:18,100
meat for Christmas and it’s a
big deal in Norway.

350
00:19:18,200 –> 00:19:21,800
Yeah, it is.
It’s like it’s like lamb cooked

351
00:19:21,800 –> 00:19:24,300
in a certain way.
It’s very salty beards.

352
00:19:24,300 –> 00:19:27,600
Yeah, so we just have this big
Christmas dinner and we had we

353
00:19:27,600 –> 00:19:30,600
actually had several dinners.
There’s 16 of us total including

354
00:19:30,600 –> 00:19:33,700
kids in our home and that was a
huge blessing.

355
00:19:33,800 –> 00:19:36,600
But we also we did gingerbread
house.

356
00:19:36,800 –> 00:19:39,400
One of the families because
that’s one of their Traditions.

357
00:19:39,600 –> 00:19:42,400
I think one of the other things
we learned, especially when

358
00:19:42,400 –> 00:19:46,200
you’re doing Ministry with
families is have fun, like,

359
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:51,500
don’t feel like you can’t have
fun or just enjoy things because

360
00:19:51,800 –> 00:19:53,500
you know, you’re supposed to be
serving.

361
00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:57,800
You’ve got to put fun in there.
And and so yeah, that the

362
00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:02,900
Christmas season was was a big
blessing and we’re actually

363
00:20:02,900 –> 00:20:05,300
going to talk about during the
Christmas season, the base was

364
00:20:05,300 –> 00:20:08,700
actually closed.
And so, we had to plan some of

365
00:20:08,700 –> 00:20:13,300
the Outreach experiences and
we’ll talk about that as one of

366
00:20:13,300 –> 00:20:15,000
our other numbers.
Yeah.

367
00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:18,900
And I think Becca’s point is a
really important one, that it

368
00:20:18,900 –> 00:20:22,800
could be really easy for those
serving, especially those who

369
00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:27,100
are living off of support to
feel like they’re not allowed to

370
00:20:27,100 –> 00:20:28,800
have fun.
They’re not allowed to have good

371
00:20:28,800 –> 00:20:31,400
things, you know, there’s
something back and I wrestle

372
00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:33,600
with is what does a date?
And I look like when you’re

373
00:20:33,600 –> 00:20:36,600
living off of support like
should you never eats?

374
00:20:36,900 –> 00:20:40,600
The rest of your life because
that’s misusing funds and, you

375
00:20:40,600 –> 00:20:43,300
know, should you do fun things?
When you’re supposed to be using

376
00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:45,400
all your time doing service
things?

377
00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:49,700
And it’s and it’s just such a
gift for us to be reminded that

378
00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:55,000
God wants us to experience, just
some of the good things he has

379
00:20:55,000 –> 00:20:59,900
in life and particularly in
building relationships to just

380
00:20:59,900 –> 00:21:02,600
have fun together.
And so yeah I want to affirm my

381
00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:05,600
mom.
Again maybe she blessed that

382
00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:08,100
family in ways That.
I mean, she would never fully

383
00:21:08,100 –> 00:21:11,100
know because they had
anticipated not getting to

384
00:21:11,100 –> 00:21:12,400
experience any of their
Traditions.

385
00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:14,700
They had tried to order the
stick meat and ran into issues.

386
00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:17,300
They didn’t they plan on not
being able to get any gifts.

387
00:21:17,300 –> 00:21:20,100
So when my mom handed them
presents, they got so excited.

388
00:21:20,300 –> 00:21:23,200
Yeah, it was really good for us
to for our family because

389
00:21:23,200 –> 00:21:26,000
Christmas was a lot, not like,
any of our Christmases.

390
00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:29,000
We’ve had before even though we
were in our home, it was very

391
00:21:29,000 –> 00:21:31,600
very, very different than our
normal traditions and what a

392
00:21:31,608 –> 00:21:35,900
gift it was for us to be able to
experience Norwegian Christmas.

393
00:21:36,700 –> 00:21:40,500
In many different ways but yeah,
just to celebrate together.

394
00:21:40,600 –> 00:21:43,800
What is an incredibly important
Day celebrating the birth of

395
00:21:43,800 –> 00:21:45,500
Christ?
And to know that this was

396
00:21:45,500 –> 00:21:49,200
actually a powerful and good.
Use of our time on Outreach was

397
00:21:49,200 –> 00:21:54,300
real gift for us.
The fifth one is Outreach and

398
00:21:54,300 –> 00:21:59,600
America is hard.
And this is something that we

399
00:21:59,600 –> 00:22:03,300
wrestled with on many levels.
We wrestled on the front end as

400
00:22:03,300 –> 00:22:06,800
I’ve shared in other podcasts
with feeling like people were

401
00:22:06,800 –> 00:22:10,400
going to think and we may think
it is a lesser Outreach because

402
00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:14,800
it’s in America, it’s not in one
of the hard locations, you know,

403
00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:17,100
where we’re in our home country.
Like, we have all the

404
00:22:17,100 –> 00:22:20,200
conveniences.
And so, it was hard in the sense

405
00:22:20,200 –> 00:22:25,400
of of wrestling with what other
people would perceive what we

406
00:22:25,400 –> 00:22:28,200
would perceive.
But we also realized, it’s

407
00:22:28,200 –> 00:22:32,000
actually legitimately
challenging, you know, we would

408
00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:36,300
hear the other teams throughout
those two months, share stories,

409
00:22:36,300 –> 00:22:41,100
post them on Facebook about how,
for example, they would drive up

410
00:22:41,100 –> 00:22:44,900
somewhere in the bus and as they
would pull up to a place, people

411
00:22:44,900 –> 00:22:47,600
would just flood all around
them.

412
00:22:48,100 –> 00:22:49,500
They would be so excited to see
them.

413
00:22:49,500 –> 00:22:53,200
They would go into a church and
the church would say, hey, why

414
00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:54,900
don’t you come do the sermon.
They’re like, we don’t have

415
00:22:54,900 –> 00:22:56,600
anything prepared, but all
right.

416
00:22:57,100 –> 00:23:00,200
They would ask if anybody wanted
prayer and people would just

417
00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:03,600
rush up to them raised their
hands and they would see all of

418
00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:05,800
this stuff happening.
And meanwhile, we’d be an

419
00:23:05,800 –> 00:23:09,300
America where when we would pull
up, no one would approach us

420
00:23:10,000 –> 00:23:14,000
when we would go to a church or
even there were churches that we

421
00:23:14,008 –> 00:23:16,700
were hoping to go to that.
They had already had their

422
00:23:16,700 –> 00:23:18,500
sermons planned out for the next
few months.

423
00:23:18,500 –> 00:23:22,000
So there wasn’t much we could do
or you know we would ask if

424
00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:25,400
anybody would want prayer and
people would literally run away

425
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:27,200
from sniffing.
So I’m good.

426
00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:28,900
Yeah, or shut the door in our
face.

427
00:23:29,000 –> 00:23:31,100
You know, that the spiritual
culture is there is an

428
00:23:31,100 –> 00:23:34,700
understanding in some countries,
that the spiritual realm is

429
00:23:34,700 –> 00:23:36,900
real.
And so there is an openness to

430
00:23:36,900 –> 00:23:40,400
it in countries like America and
Norway there.

431
00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:43,200
Isn’t that understanding?
And so, the spiritual realm is

432
00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:47,600
not something most people want
to engage, or one thing we learn

433
00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:51,200
in America, is, there is a
belief that there is a Christian

434
00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:54,500
culture.
And so most people feel like,

435
00:23:54,800 –> 00:23:56,300
you know, like back I just said,
oh, I’m fine.

436
00:23:56,300 –> 00:23:58,900
No, I don’t need There because
everybody feels like they’re

437
00:23:58,900 –> 00:24:04,000
they’re good when they may not
actually really know how God

438
00:24:04,000 –> 00:24:06,000
sees them and what God has for
them.

439
00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:09,800
And so is really hard knowing
how is it that?

440
00:24:09,800 –> 00:24:15,800
We engage this space where we
can try and invest so much time

441
00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:19,100
and and see seemingly very
little fruit.

442
00:24:19,100 –> 00:24:23,000
But what we learned is that one
Outreach in countries like

443
00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:27,700
America is incredibly important
because God loves Everyone he’s

444
00:24:27,700 –> 00:24:33,500
created to, it’s not about
fruit, it’s not about like a

445
00:24:33,500 –> 00:24:36,100
seeing the fruit.
It’s about stepping in obedience

446
00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:37,700
towards God, and trusting what
he may do.

447
00:24:37,700 –> 00:24:41,200
Because sometimes we are the
ones who plant the seed where

448
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:43,900
that we are the ones, who water,
but God is the one that makes it

449
00:24:43,900 –> 00:24:45,900
grow.
So, if we never see the actual

450
00:24:45,900 –> 00:24:48,100
growth, that doesn’t mean that
growth isn’t happening.

451
00:24:48,400 –> 00:24:52,100
But 3 realized that God pulled
each of our families into this

452
00:24:52,100 –> 00:24:55,100
difficult Outreach in America,
for very specific reasons

453
00:24:55,100 –> 00:24:58,900
because each family Feeling
called back to their home

454
00:24:58,900 –> 00:25:00,600
environments, which were very
similar.

455
00:25:00,900 –> 00:25:03,800
And so, whereas we could have
gone to another country and had

456
00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:08,300
a wonderful experience what God
wanted for us was a, an

457
00:25:08,300 –> 00:25:10,900
experience that was directly
transferable.

458
00:25:10,900 –> 00:25:14,800
Definitely for us, but for the
other families to know how can

459
00:25:14,800 –> 00:25:18,100
you represent God?
Well, how can you share the

460
00:25:18,100 –> 00:25:20,300
love?
God has for others in a space

461
00:25:20,300 –> 00:25:22,700
that might not be inviting to
it.

462
00:25:22,700 –> 00:25:25,600
That might not be receptive that
might not reveal fruit.

463
00:25:25,900 –> 00:25:27,400
So it’s a real gift.
For us.

464
00:25:27,800 –> 00:25:30,000
It didn’t feel like a gift
because it was hard but it was a

465
00:25:30,008 –> 00:25:31,400
real gift to us.
Yeah.

466
00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:35,100
So the sixth thing I’ve already
referenced, there were some days

467
00:25:35,100 –> 00:25:41,700
during the Christmas break where
we had a chance to plan our own

468
00:25:41,700 –> 00:25:46,400
Outreach activities, which was
good because, you know, we know

469
00:25:46,400 –> 00:25:48,800
what’s here.
And so we really focused on our

470
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:51,300
neighborhood.
We partnered with someone in our

471
00:25:51,300 –> 00:25:56,400
church, who has a Ministry of
handing out bags to people, with

472
00:25:56,400 –> 00:25:59,300
hygiene Products in them and go
ahead and Shout out Miss

473
00:25:59,300 –> 00:26:02,700
Chatham.
Yeah, Shadows a hero and so she

474
00:26:02,700 –> 00:26:05,900
does this on a regular basis and
so it was a real blessing to her

475
00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:08,900
that we would come alongside
what she’s already doing and

476
00:26:08,900 –> 00:26:12,300
support her and so we were able
to also use some Outreach

477
00:26:12,300 –> 00:26:16,100
Ministry funds to purchase those
things and take them.

478
00:26:16,100 –> 00:26:20,100
She had also prayed and just ask
God, where should we go and two

479
00:26:20,100 –> 00:26:22,400
locations came up.
So we went to both of those

480
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:26,300
places and that was also a
really great time of watching

481
00:26:26,300 –> 00:26:29,800
the Of our team have really
authentic conversations with

482
00:26:29,800 –> 00:26:33,300
people.
We also went to the Boys & Girls

483
00:26:33,300 –> 00:26:38,000
Club one day where Paul used to
work, and I actually stayed home

484
00:26:38,000 –> 00:26:40,700
that day, but I think that what
I hear, I heard really great

485
00:26:40,700 –> 00:26:43,300
things about that.
And then there was one day after

486
00:26:43,300 –> 00:26:46,600
we had partnered with Miss
chetta, where we decided after

487
00:26:46,600 –> 00:26:50,100
praying that, we wanted to bake
some cookies and bring some

488
00:26:50,100 –> 00:26:54,500
coffee and cocoa.
Back to the two places that we

489
00:26:54,500 –> 00:26:58,000
had been with mr.
Chadha and just Conversations

490
00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:00,100
with them.
One was a retirement home and

491
00:27:00,100 –> 00:27:01,600
the other one was just a bus
stop.

492
00:27:01,600 –> 00:27:04,900
And then we asked to hear from
the Lord, what the third one

493
00:27:04,900 –> 00:27:06,800
should be Paul.
We’ll talk about that a little

494
00:27:06,800 –> 00:27:10,000
bit with our kids hearing from
the Lord, and how we saw God.

495
00:27:10,000 –> 00:27:12,400
Work through our kids.
So we sent three different teams

496
00:27:12,400 –> 00:27:15,600
out and that was actually New
Year’s Eve.

497
00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:21,300
And so that was a really, really
great experience as well.

498
00:27:22,000 –> 00:27:26,300
And it was just, I think it was
really encouraging to us.

499
00:27:26,800 –> 00:27:29,600
That we could, you know, use the
ways.

500
00:27:29,600 –> 00:27:33,000
We’ve already been serving here
in this neighborhood to guide

501
00:27:33,000 –> 00:27:35,200
that time of Outreach.
And that, that was really

502
00:27:35,200 –> 00:27:40,500
impactful for our team as well.
Yeah, one of the most important

503
00:27:40,500 –> 00:27:43,100
things that we discussed
afterwards that came out of that

504
00:27:43,100 –> 00:27:46,700
is it wasn’t about the care
bags, or the coffee or the

505
00:27:46,700 –> 00:27:50,400
cookies.
It was about seeing people

506
00:27:50,500 –> 00:27:53,200
showing Love by just being
present engaging in

507
00:27:53,200 –> 00:27:56,000
conversations and one of our
team members shared a story

508
00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:59,000
about Talking to a guy at the
bus stop.

509
00:27:59,500 –> 00:28:02,600
And they had like a really just
amazing 20-minute conversation,

510
00:28:02,600 –> 00:28:07,000
but he looked and beside the guy
was the stacks of food boxes.

511
00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:10,400
And and this, you know,
throughout the holidays, a

512
00:28:10,408 –> 00:28:12,000
number of people had stopped by
the bus.

513
00:28:12,000 –> 00:28:15,500
Stop had drop things off clothes
food, and that was great.

514
00:28:15,600 –> 00:28:18,200
The guy that the our team member
was talking to was just sharing

515
00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:20,700
how is much, as he was
appreciative of food.

516
00:28:20,700 –> 00:28:24,900
He really loved that, our friend
was sitting, and just talking

517
00:28:24,900 –> 00:28:28,200
with them because You know,
that’s what we see Jesus doing.

518
00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:31,100
He met practical needs.
But he also saw people.

519
00:28:31,100 –> 00:28:35,300
He also loved people by just
hearing their stories by praying

520
00:28:35,300 –> 00:28:40,200
with them, not just for them by
being family together.

521
00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:42,600
And so, that was a gift for us
to see what it looks like.

522
00:28:42,600 –> 00:28:45,900
Two notches do practical things,
but to actually engage with

523
00:28:45,900 –> 00:28:49,900
people and like Becca mentioned,
you know, the seven thing is

524
00:28:50,400 –> 00:28:54,700
that God works through children
and, you know, culturally what

525
00:28:54,700 –> 00:28:57,600
that often looks like for us, is
we have a It’s space for the

526
00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:00,400
children to go, you know, we
have the adult ways of engaging

527
00:29:00,400 –> 00:29:02,400
with God.
And then we usually have to get

528
00:29:02,400 –> 00:29:04,500
the kids out of there because we
can’t focus on God.

529
00:29:04,500 –> 00:29:07,100
If the kids are being loud and
it’s a real struggle in the

530
00:29:07,100 –> 00:29:10,700
American Church to know.
How is it that God works through

531
00:29:10,700 –> 00:29:12,600
children?
You know and our pastor and many

532
00:29:12,600 –> 00:29:15,700
others often says, you know
there’s no Holy Spirit, junior

533
00:29:15,700 –> 00:29:18,200
or put another way.
The Holy Spirit isn’t restricted

534
00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:22,700
to a certain age.
God can work through all ages

535
00:29:22,800 –> 00:29:26,600
from infant to someone who’s
extremely old.

536
00:29:27,000 –> 00:29:29,900
And we saw that happen with our
kids.

537
00:29:29,900 –> 00:29:32,500
And the biggest thing is we
actually stepped in faith that

538
00:29:32,500 –> 00:29:34,900
it was possible.
We actually step in faith

539
00:29:34,900 –> 00:29:36,900
believing that God could speak
through our kids.

540
00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,900
And then we stepped in faith and
implementing, whatever our kids

541
00:29:39,900 –> 00:29:41,600
said, no matter how crazy it
seems.

542
00:29:41,600 –> 00:29:45,800
So, one example is the one that
Becca referenced, we’re asking

543
00:29:45,900 –> 00:29:48,700
the whole team from the youngest
to the oldest.

544
00:29:48,700 –> 00:29:51,200
Where is it?
We believe God is sending us and

545
00:29:51,200 –> 00:29:54,300
Timothy spoke up.
And he said, very specifically,

546
00:29:55,000 –> 00:29:58,300
I felt like God said, the first
Blue House on Main Street.

547
00:29:59,100 –> 00:30:01,700
Like, what in the world like
this?

548
00:30:02,000 –> 00:30:06,400
This is really intricate, like,
is this legitimate and, you

549
00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:09,200
know, I even started looking up
on Google Maps and I was like,

550
00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:12,400
man there’s just businesses like
there’s no no blue house.

551
00:30:12,600 –> 00:30:15,600
So then of course, doubts trying
to creep in and say oh he just

552
00:30:15,600 –> 00:30:17,000
made it up.
He didn’t really hear from God.

553
00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:19,500
I’m like I must stop that
nonsense right there.

554
00:30:19,500 –> 00:30:22,100
We’re going to go on Main Street
and we’re going to look for

555
00:30:22,100 –> 00:30:26,600
something blue and sure enough
there were two buildings

556
00:30:26,700 –> 00:30:30,500
Earrings, that were blue, the
very well could look like houses

557
00:30:30,600 –> 00:30:33,500
that you would see in the city
like Apartments, but they

558
00:30:33,500 –> 00:30:36,000
weren’t just random.
And this is how we know God was

559
00:30:36,000 –> 00:30:39,000
speaking, because there is two
very powerful.

560
00:30:39,000 –> 00:30:40,700
Things about the to built blue
buildings.

561
00:30:40,700 –> 00:30:45,200
We pray for the first one was
the ABC Store in Virginia.

562
00:30:45,200 –> 00:30:49,200
That that means just straight up
liquor and alcohol in Hawaii.

563
00:30:49,200 –> 00:30:51,700
It’s just a convenience store.
Yeah, you can buy everything

564
00:30:51,700 –> 00:30:55,000
from flip-flops to liquor in
Hawaiian and ABC store but in

565
00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:57,300
Virginia you go to the ABC store
to get Alcohol.

566
00:30:57,600 –> 00:31:00,800
Well, we were walking on New
Year’s Eve and in American

567
00:31:00,800 –> 00:31:05,300
culture, New Year’s Eve tends to
be a one of those holidays that

568
00:31:05,300 –> 00:31:08,500
there’s a lot of drinking.
And so because of the words that

569
00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:13,300
Timothy heard, we prayed outside
of the ABC store on New Year’s

570
00:31:13,300 –> 00:31:18,000
Eve.
The second was a restaurant that

571
00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:20,600
only days before I believe it
was, maybe even Christmas Eve

572
00:31:20,600 –> 00:31:23,700
that it happened.
A murder had occurred.

573
00:31:23,800 –> 00:31:27,000
Someone had left the
establishment, come Back with a

574
00:31:27,000 –> 00:31:30,500
gun and had killed at least one
person if not more.

575
00:31:30,500 –> 00:31:34,000
I know many were injured and we
were able to stand outside of

576
00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:35,200
this building.
We wouldn’t have been at

577
00:31:35,200 –> 00:31:37,300
otherwise and pray for all those
affected.

578
00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:40,700
We were on Main Street praying
for blue buildings because

579
00:31:40,700 –> 00:31:44,800
Timothy heard God, say the first
Blue House on Main Street and

580
00:31:44,800 –> 00:31:47,200
this was one of many moments
where God spoke through our

581
00:31:47,200 –> 00:31:50,500
kids, Becca was doing some
running, some errands, doing

582
00:31:50,500 –> 00:31:54,500
some grocery shopping, and Bella
just started making up songs to

583
00:31:54,500 –> 00:31:58,900
Jesus and sing them loud.
I heard a little high voice and

584
00:31:58,900 –> 00:32:02,200
people were hearing and really
stood out to Becca the impact

585
00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:06,000
that she was having.
There is this woman in Chico

586
00:32:06,000 –> 00:32:09,600
that we were just outside
praying, we actually were

587
00:32:09,600 –> 00:32:12,600
getting coffee and Food for
People free of charge to them,

588
00:32:12,900 –> 00:32:16,500
which you guys were doing it.
Because you asked here from the

589
00:32:16,500 –> 00:32:19,300
teenagers and the older kids in
the group what you should do

590
00:32:19,300 –> 00:32:22,400
because our last day of Outreach
and this is what they said.

591
00:32:22,400 –> 00:32:23,500
Yep.
Well we did.

592
00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:26,400
Where we went all of it, came
from things that they heard and

593
00:32:26,400 –> 00:32:30,000
we Looked in a like welp.
Here’s the location that matches

594
00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:32,700
all of this ended up being a
Starbucks in a Subway and this

595
00:32:32,700 –> 00:32:37,300
woman came out and you know, it
was just me and the three

596
00:32:38,000 –> 00:32:43,400
youngest kids, but not Joshua.
And I asked if we could pray for

597
00:32:43,400 –> 00:32:45,800
her and then I looked over the
kids as a Katie, when I pray and

598
00:32:45,800 –> 00:32:48,900
I was expecting the kids to
respond as kids normally do.

599
00:32:49,100 –> 00:32:52,000
No, I don’t want to or if they
did pray, say some little short

600
00:32:52,000 –> 00:32:53,900
prayer.
But one of the young girls from

601
00:32:53,900 –> 00:32:56,600
Norway, actually raised her hand
said that she wanted.

602
00:32:56,700 –> 00:32:59,300
Pray and prayed, this amazing
prayer.

603
00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:03,700
And what is so powerful about
that is when we met her five

604
00:33:03,700 –> 00:33:08,200
months prior, she barely spoke
and she didn’t speak much

605
00:33:08,200 –> 00:33:12,400
English and he or she was
praying a powerful prayer in

606
00:33:12,400 –> 00:33:15,700
English to a woman that she
didn’t know and and even

607
00:33:15,700 –> 00:33:19,100
sympathy was like he was in it
and he was like yes Lord.

608
00:33:19,100 –> 00:33:22,200
And I’m like oh these are like
I’m just going to step back

609
00:33:22,200 –> 00:33:25,500
because the kids are actually
doing this even little Joshua

610
00:33:25,700 –> 00:33:29,200
who can’t speak.
Viet was drawing people to him

611
00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:32,500
because of his smile and his
infectious laughter.

612
00:33:32,700 –> 00:33:34,500
And so many interactions happen
because of that.

613
00:33:34,500 –> 00:33:37,400
So, God worked through our kids
and really beautiful ways.

614
00:33:37,600 –> 00:33:41,600
And if you’ve got kids, God can
and will work through your kids

615
00:33:41,600 –> 00:33:45,500
look for it.
So the eighth thing was one of

616
00:33:45,500 –> 00:33:47,900
Timothy’s teachers from
Foundation school.

617
00:33:47,900 –> 00:33:52,400
When we were during our lecture,
phase was hearing from God and

618
00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:56,200
heard Richmond, Virginia, that
she should come and visit.

619
00:33:56,200 –> 00:34:00,000
So she Came and stayed with us
for a week during Outreach and

620
00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:01,800
participated in our Outreach
with us.

621
00:34:01,800 –> 00:34:08,500
And that was really a great
thing for Timothy because, yeah,

622
00:34:08,500 –> 00:34:10,699
she just really cares so much
about him.

623
00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:14,400
And she just really is in love
with Jesus.

624
00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:18,699
And pretty much is just always
about, worshiping the Lord.

625
00:34:18,699 –> 00:34:22,300
And, yeah, it was just a really
life-giving thing for Timothy,

626
00:34:22,300 –> 00:34:26,000
one of the things we did was we
organized a family night where

627
00:34:26,000 –> 00:34:30,600
we vited families from why we am
from our church Community to

628
00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:34,900
kind of show them what the
different things we learned

629
00:34:34,900 –> 00:34:38,500
while during lecture phase of
how we could engage as families

630
00:34:38,800 –> 00:34:41,400
and got a really good turnout.
And it was really also great to

631
00:34:41,400 –> 00:34:43,800
see Timothy shine that night as
well.

632
00:34:44,199 –> 00:34:47,699
In fact, it even stood out to
one of our friends who was like,

633
00:34:47,699 –> 00:34:51,400
wow, I can really see the
difference in Timothy after this

634
00:34:52,100 –> 00:34:55,000
and just seeing his confidence
in that as well.

635
00:34:55,000 –> 00:34:58,100
So that was a blessing.
We Learned through the DTs, from

636
00:34:58,100 –> 00:35:00,300
start to finish and many moments
in between.

637
00:35:00,300 –> 00:35:04,300
That transition is challenging
for Timothy and the timing of

638
00:35:04,300 –> 00:35:08,200
Monica coming in the way that
she invested in him.

639
00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:12,100
And the other kids like was
clearly a gift from God.

640
00:35:12,100 –> 00:35:15,600
But even that night one of the
families who has teenagers came

641
00:35:15,600 –> 00:35:19,100
up to me afterwards and said,
what a blessing it was for her

642
00:35:19,100 –> 00:35:21,400
because it’s hard to get
teenagers to talk and she’s

643
00:35:21,400 –> 00:35:24,200
like, we actually sat and we had
these amazing conversations and

644
00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:26,500
learn more about each other and
learn what was going on.

645
00:35:26,600 –> 00:35:28,800
Each other’s lives.
And so it was just cool to see

646
00:35:29,000 –> 00:35:32,500
God work through something that
that wasn’t like even on our

647
00:35:32,500 –> 00:35:33,900
docket.
It wasn’t.

648
00:35:33,900 –> 00:35:35,800
Yeah, we kind of planned it
really quickly.

649
00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:37,700
Yeah, and that it came from
Monica.

650
00:35:37,700 –> 00:35:40,300
Just hearing go to Richmond.
She’s like, all right.

651
00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:42,600
Actually, I think she heard it
before she knew that there was

652
00:35:42,600 –> 00:35:44,700
maybe an Outreach.
Yeah, Winder Richmond as well.

653
00:35:44,700 –> 00:35:46,200
That’s the, that’s the crazy
thing.

654
00:35:46,200 –> 00:35:49,100
She just took that step of Faith
got a one-way ticket and said.

655
00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:51,500
Alright, God I’m going.
Don’t have a place to stay or

656
00:35:51,500 –> 00:35:53,600
plans.
Yeah, it’s just beautiful to see

657
00:35:53,600 –> 00:35:59,000
how God can work in that way.
The ninth thing, Is I call adult

658
00:35:59,000 –> 00:36:02,600
times.
And and you know what that

659
00:36:02,600 –> 00:36:05,600
actually means is you know, when
you’re doing family ministry, a

660
00:36:05,600 –> 00:36:09,100
lot of times you are with the
kids and you were functioning as

661
00:36:09,100 –> 00:36:14,600
family and as a team and that’s
great but also can be

662
00:36:14,608 –> 00:36:19,700
challenging and we began to
realize the importance of but

663
00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:23,900
also the gift of having time set
aside to just be adults

664
00:36:23,900 –> 00:36:26,500
together.
I remember one of our team

665
00:36:26,500 –> 00:36:27,200
members.
Members.

666
00:36:27,200 –> 00:36:31,000
When he went the first time to
the homeless Ministry, there are

667
00:36:31,000 –> 00:36:34,600
some things that he experienced
that he was processing through

668
00:36:34,600 –> 00:36:38,000
and found that there weren’t
many places that he could

669
00:36:38,000 –> 00:36:40,800
actually process that when kids
weren’t around.

670
00:36:41,100 –> 00:36:43,000
And he just longed for a time
where you could just sit with

671
00:36:43,000 –> 00:36:44,800
the adults.
And say, I don’t know what to do

672
00:36:44,800 –> 00:36:46,900
with about this.
I don’t know what it means to

673
00:36:46,900 –> 00:36:49,100
share the gospel.
When you’re sharing to someone

674
00:36:49,100 –> 00:36:53,100
who may not have food the next
day or a roof over their head.

675
00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:56,500
And so we began to make that
space.

676
00:36:57,000 –> 00:37:01,100
To just get together the six
adults, and to just have that

677
00:37:01,100 –> 00:37:04,000
time to talk about whatever
needed to be talked about, and

678
00:37:04,000 –> 00:37:08,000
we found it landed in a couple
places one, a place of

679
00:37:08,000 –> 00:37:11,300
processing and encouragement
because we were, we were

680
00:37:11,300 –> 00:37:15,000
navigating a lot of really hard
things both practically but even

681
00:37:15,000 –> 00:37:17,000
just internally and
individually.

682
00:37:17,700 –> 00:37:19,800
But to in this is harkening back
to a point.

683
00:37:19,800 –> 00:37:23,300
We made earlier, it became a
time of just fun and fellowship

684
00:37:23,300 –> 00:37:25,800
together.
We laughed more during those

685
00:37:25,800 –> 00:37:28,100
adult time.
Than I think any other time

686
00:37:28,400 –> 00:37:30,500
because we were able just to
finally relax.

687
00:37:30,500 –> 00:37:31,700
I remember the first time we did
it.

688
00:37:31,700 –> 00:37:35,100
Actually we sat in silence for
maybe a minute and our friend

689
00:37:35,100 –> 00:37:38,100
tour.
Martin was like it’s so quiet,

690
00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:42,800
this is so great.
And and so you know, I just want

691
00:37:42,800 –> 00:37:47,300
to encourage those listening
that your eyes you’re serving

692
00:37:47,300 –> 00:37:49,500
and as you’re serving as
families, whether that’s in a

693
00:37:49,500 –> 00:37:52,500
practical like legitimate, like
you were part of a Ministry or

694
00:37:52,500 –> 00:37:56,200
you’re just serving your
everyday life fine time with

695
00:37:56,200 –> 00:37:59,300
those That are in a similar
places, you with other adults,

696
00:37:59,500 –> 00:38:02,500
just to process together.
And speak that that type of

697
00:38:02,500 –> 00:38:06,200
community is really important
and we learned the importance of

698
00:38:06,208 –> 00:38:07,700
that.
Both in times, we had it in

699
00:38:07,700 –> 00:38:10,500
times that we didn’t want even
during our training during

700
00:38:10,500 –> 00:38:12,500
lecture phase.
One of the things they kept

701
00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:17,800
saying was your team.
Unity is so important because

702
00:38:17,800 –> 00:38:21,000
often when we know our job is to
serve others.

703
00:38:21,000 –> 00:38:23,300
We focus on that, right?
We focus on the out.

704
00:38:23,300 –> 00:38:27,200
What are we doing?
And if it’s going to be, Anibal

705
00:38:27,300 –> 00:38:30,600
and if we’re going to be
effective, then we need to make

706
00:38:30,600 –> 00:38:35,700
sure that we as as a body as a
small body are healthy.

707
00:38:36,300 –> 00:38:40,600
And so we actually had a lot of
times during lecture phase where

708
00:38:40,600 –> 00:38:43,200
we just focused on growing our
team unity.

709
00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:46,900
And then of course, you know,
that went to the Wayside when

710
00:38:46,900 –> 00:38:51,500
we’re like busy doing Outreach
and actually we had a leadership

711
00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:53,300
visit.
Probably when we had about a

712
00:38:53,300 –> 00:38:57,100
week and a half left of our of
our Outreach and You just was

713
00:38:57,100 –> 00:39:00,000
like, Hey, I’m giving you guys
permission right now to, like,

714
00:39:00,000 –> 00:39:04,000
focus on just, you know, loving
each other.

715
00:39:04,000 –> 00:39:08,500
Well, and I think that’s a
surprise, you know, to us of

716
00:39:08,500 –> 00:39:10,200
like, what aren’t we here to
love others.

717
00:39:10,200 –> 00:39:14,700
Well, and, but I think, I think
we learn what it looks like to

718
00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:17,700
actually do this thing
sustainably and in a healthy

719
00:39:17,700 –> 00:39:21,800
way, in a way, that relies on
Jesus and not ourselves is that

720
00:39:21,800 –> 00:39:24,000
and especially as families,
right?

721
00:39:24,000 –> 00:39:25,300
As young adults, it might look
different.

722
00:39:25,300 –> 00:39:29,700
A lot of why Lemurs are young
adults, but that sometimes we’re

723
00:39:29,700 –> 00:39:31,900
just maybe not in our own eyes
as productive.

724
00:39:31,900 –> 00:39:35,300
As we think we are, even though
there might be a lot going on in

725
00:39:35,300 –> 00:39:38,300
the spiritual realm.
Yeah, so that that, yeah, that’s

726
00:39:38,300 –> 00:39:39,600
a big takeaway.
I think.

727
00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:42,300
Well, now just add on there just
because I think it’s important.

728
00:39:42,300 –> 00:39:44,800
You know, when Jesus is asked,
what’s the most important

729
00:39:44,800 –> 00:39:46,600
commandment?
He says, love God and love

730
00:39:46,600 –> 00:39:49,800
others, and you can take that
and create a framework for how

731
00:39:49,800 –> 00:39:53,100
God wants us to function in that
he wants us to function through

732
00:39:53,100 –> 00:39:56,200
him.
But also through the body and

733
00:39:56,200 –> 00:40:00,500
one of Ways that the enemy can
disrupt what God is doing, is by

734
00:40:00,600 –> 00:40:03,800
just putting lies in our minds.
And one of the most important

735
00:40:03,800 –> 00:40:08,200
things that I think happened
through US, connecting as a body

736
00:40:08,200 –> 00:40:10,700
and us adults, actually, being
open and honest with each other.

737
00:40:10,700 –> 00:40:12,900
As I remember, there’s one time
late into the Outreach where I

738
00:40:12,908 –> 00:40:17,300
realized a lot, I that the enemy
had planted in each of us, is

739
00:40:17,300 –> 00:40:22,700
that people were judging us that
they didn’t like how we were

740
00:40:22,700 –> 00:40:24,000
doing things that we weren’t
doing it.

741
00:40:24,000 –> 00:40:26,400
Well, and that, that is a
problem.

742
00:40:26,500 –> 00:40:31,700
Elam and the response to that
can be to withdraw or to start

743
00:40:31,700 –> 00:40:34,300
to assume things.
But there is a moment where I

744
00:40:34,308 –> 00:40:37,400
realized each one of us had
positions of leadership and

745
00:40:37,400 –> 00:40:39,700
responsibility.
Each one of us had had to

746
00:40:39,700 –> 00:40:42,900
confront and deal with that lie
that the other people were

747
00:40:42,900 –> 00:40:44,500
thinking.
Less of us are judging us.

748
00:40:44,800 –> 00:40:47,500
And when that came out to the
open, we began to be able to

749
00:40:47,800 –> 00:40:50,600
either directly or indirectly.
Speak into what was actually

750
00:40:50,600 –> 00:40:52,600
true that each person on the
team.

751
00:40:52,600 –> 00:40:55,600
God had worked through in
powerful ways that all the

752
00:40:55,600 –> 00:40:56,400
things that they thought they
had.

753
00:40:56,600 –> 00:40:58,900
Done.
Well, got it actually done

754
00:40:59,000 –> 00:41:01,000
really amazing and important
things.

755
00:41:01,200 –> 00:41:03,900
And we were able to come back
together as a unified team

756
00:41:04,100 –> 00:41:06,600
rather than what the enemy
wanted to divide us.

757
00:41:07,000 –> 00:41:13,600
So our last thing might not seem
as much of like a highlight but

758
00:41:13,600 –> 00:41:18,400
you know we’ve been talking a
lot about what ministry as a

759
00:41:18,408 –> 00:41:21,700
family actually looks like.
And I think I went into this

760
00:41:21,700 –> 00:41:25,200
Outreach thinking oh we’re going
to we’re going to learn the

761
00:41:25,200 –> 00:41:26,400
secret.
We’re going to figure this.

762
00:41:26,500 –> 00:41:28,400
This out.
Like we are going to do this in

763
00:41:28,400 –> 00:41:31,400
a productive effective manner,
in our kids are going to be

764
00:41:31,400 –> 00:41:36,200
engaged and and I actually
learned that.

765
00:41:36,200 –> 00:41:40,100
Yeah, doing Ministry is a
family, is it can just feel

766
00:41:40,100 –> 00:41:43,700
messy.
Sometimes it doesn’t always feel

767
00:41:43,700 –> 00:41:50,000
productive and for me I was
realizing that I was actually

768
00:41:50,300 –> 00:41:54,200
staying home or back at the base
for probably about fifty percent

769
00:41:54,200 –> 00:41:58,000
of the time between Joshua.
And sometimes our other kids

770
00:41:58,000 –> 00:42:03,300
needing that.
And I realized I was feeling

771
00:42:03,300 –> 00:42:08,200
like I was insignificant and,
and or that I felt like a need

772
00:42:08,200 –> 00:42:13,500
to be significant to be, to
achieve something to have God,

773
00:42:13,500 –> 00:42:14,800
work through me.
Yeah.

774
00:42:14,800 –> 00:42:19,300
And then, of course, bitterness
came through of gosh, even when

775
00:42:19,300 –> 00:42:25,100
my job is to do Outreach, like I
can’t because I’m with the kids

776
00:42:25,100 –> 00:42:26,400
and the kids are supposed to be
able.

777
00:42:26,500 –> 00:42:29,000
To be involved in this and why
can’t they be and what’s, you

778
00:42:29,000 –> 00:42:34,600
know, but I think it confirmed
some things for me because, you

779
00:42:34,600 –> 00:42:37,200
know, I decided to take an
entire year off.

780
00:42:37,200 –> 00:42:40,300
Part of it was going to be DTS
with the other part was going to

781
00:42:40,300 –> 00:42:43,900
be doing the stay-at-home mom
thing with my kids because I

782
00:42:43,900 –> 00:42:48,900
really felt like my heart right
now was was for our family and

783
00:42:48,900 –> 00:42:56,700
for just being being at home
with with our kids and this It

784
00:42:56,700 –> 00:42:59,600
was just, it was confirmed that
like yeah, I think that’s what

785
00:42:59,600 –> 00:43:04,000
God has called us to right now
and the ministry that I am doing

786
00:43:04,900 –> 00:43:11,400
with our kids is just as
important if not more sometimes

787
00:43:12,200 –> 00:43:19,900
than the the out word ministry.
And in fact it I think what I’ve

788
00:43:19,900 –> 00:43:25,400
really learned is it’s funny how
We think about how much time we

789
00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,600
spent doing out, you know,
outward stuff but actually it’s

790
00:43:29,600 –> 00:43:32,800
not about quantity, it’s about
the quality.

791
00:43:32,900 –> 00:43:36,700
And when we actually take the
time to maybe spend some more

792
00:43:37,500 –> 00:43:42,200
energy, you know, spending time
as a team spending time with our

793
00:43:42,200 –> 00:43:48,000
kids, we actually find that we
are a lot more effective in in

794
00:43:48,000 –> 00:43:50,600
that outward time even if it’s
last time there.

795
00:43:51,800 –> 00:43:55,700
And so I was You know, left
Outreach really excited for this

796
00:43:55,700 –> 00:44:01,200
next phase of being home with
our kids, which seems kind of

797
00:44:01,200 –> 00:44:04,600
unglamorous.
But I know that it’s what God

798
00:44:04,600 –> 00:44:07,000
has called me to during the
season.

799
00:44:07,400 –> 00:44:09,600
And I know that it’s really,
really important.

800
00:44:09,700 –> 00:44:13,500
Yeah, yeah, I think two big
things that we learned through

801
00:44:13,500 –> 00:44:16,700
Outreach and learn through the
holds ETS that are important for

802
00:44:16,700 –> 00:44:21,100
all of us and all of our Lives
is one, you know, early on and

803
00:44:21,100 –> 00:44:24,700
our first adult time We process
the question.

804
00:44:24,700 –> 00:44:28,400
What is success?
Because we did not feel like we

805
00:44:28,400 –> 00:44:31,400
were successful and Outreach.
We did not feel like we could

806
00:44:31,400 –> 00:44:35,300
even be successful in Outreach
and where we landed is.

807
00:44:35,300 –> 00:44:38,200
It’s not about outcomes, it’s
not about statistics.

808
00:44:39,000 –> 00:44:43,100
Success is knowing that to the
best of your ability.

809
00:44:43,100 –> 00:44:46,500
You are walking in obedience
towards God, like that’s

810
00:44:46,500 –> 00:44:49,000
success.
So if we could say at the end of

811
00:44:49,000 –> 00:44:52,500
Outreach to the best of our
ability, we tried to listen for

812
00:44:52,500 –> 00:44:55,700
and follow whatever we felt like
God was saying, then we were

813
00:44:55,700 –> 00:44:58,100
successful, whether it looked
good on paper or not.

814
00:44:58,500 –> 00:45:02,100
And then the similar question
off of what Becca sharing is,

815
00:45:02,100 –> 00:45:05,100
what is significance?
You know, we have so many

816
00:45:05,100 –> 00:45:08,600
reasons, we can feel
insignificant, but how does God

817
00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:10,500
to find significance?
Because if you look at

818
00:45:10,500 –> 00:45:13,200
scripture, there are so many
people that looked insignificant

819
00:45:13,200 –> 00:45:16,300
David was almost passed over for
King because he looked

820
00:45:16,300 –> 00:45:20,000
insignificant compared to his
brothers Gideon.

821
00:45:20,200 –> 00:45:22,900
Even Jesus.
Like, there are so many Me

822
00:45:22,900 –> 00:45:26,600
people in Scripture that looked
insignificant to others but what

823
00:45:26,600 –> 00:45:30,000
we know is there is tremendous
significance because of what God

824
00:45:30,000 –> 00:45:33,200
was doing because of who God was
and who he had called them to be

825
00:45:33,400 –> 00:45:35,000
and that is true for each of us
as well.

826
00:45:36,700 –> 00:45:40,600
So we’ve given our top 10, we
have a bonus, whoop.

827
00:45:40,900 –> 00:45:43,900
So I think the whole time during
Outreach, I know, for me, I’m

828
00:45:43,900 –> 00:45:49,000
thinking I’m Kim, hearing our
Outreach to the hypothetical.

829
00:45:49,300 –> 00:45:52,000
What I think is going on with
the different Outreach teams in

830
00:45:52,000 –> 00:45:56,300
Uganda and in the Philippines
and I was, we were all kind of

831
00:45:56,300 –> 00:45:59,200
dreading a little bit.
Our debrief in Kona because we

832
00:45:59,200 –> 00:46:02,800
go back for like a week long
debrief and graduation and we’re

833
00:46:02,800 –> 00:46:05,200
like, oh gosh, you know, all the
other groups are going to stand

834
00:46:05,200 –> 00:46:06,300
up and they’re going to share
these.

835
00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:09,600
These amazing things and it’s
going to be like crickets for

836
00:46:09,600 –> 00:46:12,700
us.
And actually, that debriefing

837
00:46:12,700 –> 00:46:19,700
Kona was so good for us because
I really do think it helped us

838
00:46:19,700 –> 00:46:25,400
to kind of understand to frame
our Outreach.

839
00:46:26,500 –> 00:46:29,800
You know, one more out of it now
you know we’re back in Hawaii

840
00:46:29,800 –> 00:46:34,800
that’s helpful and but just like
frame it just from the Lord’s

841
00:46:34,800 –> 00:46:38,500
perspective.
And and yeah, and then just

842
00:46:38,500 –> 00:46:41,200
being able to talk with other
people and hear their challenges

843
00:46:41,200 –> 00:46:43,900
as well, and hear them affirm
that like yeah, you guys had a

844
00:46:43,908 –> 00:46:47,400
hard Outreach, then I think it
was also just really great to be

845
00:46:47,400 –> 00:46:51,900
back with our entire DTS class.
There was just something really

846
00:46:51,900 –> 00:46:55,800
special about that and yeah,
being with leadership again.

847
00:46:55,800 –> 00:47:00,300
And yeah, I just really
appreciating that I think, but I

848
00:47:00,300 –> 00:47:04,200
we share that because again, you
know, these are the things that

849
00:47:04,200 –> 00:47:09,400
you think are not go there.
R not as important but when it

850
00:47:09,400 –> 00:47:13,300
comes to doing this type of
ministry, long-term processing

851
00:47:13,300 –> 00:47:16,000
is so important in processing
with others.

852
00:47:16,000 –> 00:47:18,900
And, you know, just taking the
time to hear, what is the Lord

853
00:47:18,900 –> 00:47:22,300
saying about this experience?
Yeah, it was really just

854
00:47:22,300 –> 00:47:26,100
healthy.
Yeah, especially because we tend

855
00:47:26,100 –> 00:47:29,200
to think we know things, we tend
to think we know what’s going

856
00:47:29,200 –> 00:47:33,600
on, and if you just go off of
that, you could feel like you’ve

857
00:47:33,600 –> 00:47:35,800
got a good grip on things.
But when you actually stop and

858
00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:39,000
ask some, Shins things that come
up that you missed, things,

859
00:47:39,000 –> 00:47:40,400
could come up that you didn’t
understand.

860
00:47:40,400 –> 00:47:42,500
Things could come up that you
realize you glossed over.

861
00:47:42,800 –> 00:47:46,400
And if you’re doing it with
others, things can come out that

862
00:47:46,400 –> 00:47:51,000
they saw experienced heard
learned process, question that.

863
00:47:51,000 –> 00:47:54,000
Then prompts you to a deeper
place because God is doing more

864
00:47:54,000 –> 00:47:59,900
than just a two-month Excursion.
That’s why we’re here a month

865
00:47:59,900 –> 00:48:01,800
later.
Still processing it because

866
00:48:01,800 –> 00:48:05,400
there’s a depth and intricacy to
what God is communicating to us.

867
00:48:05,400 –> 00:48:09,700
That we can’t not just get just
like a quick glance.

868
00:48:10,000 –> 00:48:12,900
Looking at the headline it’s
something that we have to dive

869
00:48:12,900 –> 00:48:16,300
deep into but but to you know,
scripture is full of times where

870
00:48:16,300 –> 00:48:19,300
God says to remember to remember
because he knows how quickly we

871
00:48:19,300 –> 00:48:22,400
can move on but he wants us to
keep on coming back to these

872
00:48:22,400 –> 00:48:26,000
truths that are revealed.
You know another gift, you know

873
00:48:26,000 –> 00:48:31,500
as Becca mention in debrief was
those relationships and

874
00:48:31,500 –> 00:48:35,300
something I want to say is one,
I just want to shout out the

875
00:48:35,600 –> 00:48:38,800
this is the Way of saying their
names but the / Kelly family.

876
00:48:38,800 –> 00:48:41,300
In the not land family.
The two other families in our

877
00:48:41,300 –> 00:48:45,200
team because they’re family now,
I mean, we love them and we miss

878
00:48:45,200 –> 00:48:48,800
them and there’s just a depth to
the relationships.

879
00:48:48,800 –> 00:48:52,800
We were able to build and just a
really unique space and season

880
00:48:53,200 –> 00:48:57,500
and I could go and name so many
from our full DTS class that had

881
00:48:57,500 –> 00:48:59,200
it.
I can’t think of any family that

882
00:48:59,200 –> 00:49:01,000
didn’t impact our life in some
way.

883
00:49:01,200 –> 00:49:03,300
And I’m not going to name them
now because then I would have to

884
00:49:03,300 –> 00:49:07,900
name 14 other families but But
but the important thing here is

885
00:49:07,900 –> 00:49:12,900
we have this amazing and
beautiful and deep spiritual

886
00:49:12,900 –> 00:49:15,900
family that is still encouraging
and praying for each other, that

887
00:49:15,900 –> 00:49:19,200
we didn’t know six months ago.
And so, when we think of what it

888
00:49:19,200 –> 00:49:22,300
looks like to build spiritual
family in our everyday lives, we

889
00:49:22,300 –> 00:49:26,700
can feel limited because you
know, how often can we see that

890
00:49:26,700 –> 00:49:29,500
person or we’ve got kids and so
we can’t get out the house or,

891
00:49:29,500 –> 00:49:32,600
you know, I feel like I need to
at least have a year before.

892
00:49:32,600 –> 00:49:35,800
I can start sharing the Deep
things, but we were sharing deep

893
00:49:35,800 –> 00:49:38,500
deep.
In that group of 17 families,

894
00:49:39,100 –> 00:49:41,900
the first week.
And so I want to encourage you.

895
00:49:41,900 –> 00:49:44,900
God has called us like I said
earlier to function as a body

896
00:49:44,900 –> 00:49:48,500
we’re not called to function
individually and God can build

897
00:49:48,500 –> 00:49:52,800
up for you a family, a spiritual
family where you are, you don’t

898
00:49:52,800 –> 00:49:56,800
need a year to build some depth.
You just need a willingness to

899
00:49:56,800 –> 00:49:59,500
trust God in the relationships
that he can build and then step

900
00:49:59,500 –> 00:50:02,500
into those and be willing to be
open and real and vulnerable and

901
00:50:02,500 –> 00:50:05,200
transparent because there’s so
much that we are going through

902
00:50:05,600 –> 00:50:07,800
on our own.
Own that we don’t understand and

903
00:50:07,800 –> 00:50:10,800
that we can’t do on our own, but
as a body, God can provide

904
00:50:10,800 –> 00:50:12,700
tremendous strength.
Yeah.

905
00:50:12,700 –> 00:50:17,200
So as we kind of wrap up, I
think the thing that is really

906
00:50:17,400 –> 00:50:20,600
sticking out to me, is, you
know, I think we have this

907
00:50:20,600 –> 00:50:24,700
mindset that like if big change
in our heart is going to happen,

908
00:50:24,700 –> 00:50:27,100
it’s going to happen during this
DTS and I think even with

909
00:50:27,100 –> 00:50:31,600
Outreach, we think, oh, all the
big stuff has happened during

910
00:50:31,600 –> 00:50:35,200
lecture and now’s our time to
walk in that.

911
00:50:35,200 –> 00:50:38,600
And then we realize, oh Like
Outreach is still training as

912
00:50:38,600 –> 00:50:42,400
well, and then if you get to the
end of DTS and you feel like, I

913
00:50:42,400 –> 00:50:44,800
don’t know, I’m still struggling
with this and this and this, I

914
00:50:44,800 –> 00:50:47,700
can see some ways God grew me,
but like, I don’t feel like I’m

915
00:50:47,700 –> 00:50:49,900
completely transformed, you
know?

916
00:50:49,900 –> 00:50:52,700
It could be discouraging.
And I think what I’ve learned in

917
00:50:52,700 –> 00:50:58,300
being home already a month is
that, that was just, that was

918
00:50:58,300 –> 00:51:00,000
just us.
It was like, opening the door

919
00:51:01,000 –> 00:51:06,200
and I’m seeing the, the ways
that God is now using those see

920
00:51:06,300 –> 00:51:10,800
Seeds that were planted to
affect me now and and I’m I’m

921
00:51:10,800 –> 00:51:12,700
just really encouraged by that
because you know, you don’t

922
00:51:12,700 –> 00:51:14,400
always know if that’s going to
happen or think just going to go

923
00:51:14,400 –> 00:51:19,300
back to normal you know.
But as I look over my notes and

924
00:51:19,300 –> 00:51:21,500
you know now we have we have
some we have some more time to

925
00:51:21,500 –> 00:51:30,300
do that but and just things that
were said during lecture things

926
00:51:30,300 –> 00:51:33,400
that happen during Outreach.
Just reminding me of truths.

927
00:51:33,600 –> 00:51:37,600
And I think saying like, hey I
do The different understanding

928
00:51:37,600 –> 00:51:40,400
of who God was and who I am
during this process.

929
00:51:40,400 –> 00:51:41,700
And I’m not going to let go of
that.

930
00:51:41,700 –> 00:51:43,900
Because I remember how
life-giving that was and I

931
00:51:43,908 –> 00:51:47,600
remember how a real that was.
And so I’m going to hold to

932
00:51:47,600 –> 00:51:48,700
that.
Yeah.

933
00:51:48,700 –> 00:51:51,700
And and just seeing that like
hey this is a process that keeps

934
00:51:51,700 –> 00:51:52,800
continuing.
Yeah.

935
00:51:53,600 –> 00:51:56,100
And if you’re listening to this
and you’re encouraged or

936
00:51:56,108 –> 00:51:59,100
inspired, you’re thinking this
would be good for my family.

937
00:51:59,600 –> 00:52:04,600
This would be good for me.
We highly, highly recommend the

938
00:52:04,600 –> 00:52:06,100
discipleship training school
experience.

939
00:52:06,300 –> 00:52:10,500
Especially if you have a family.
Whether your it’s just you and

940
00:52:10,500 –> 00:52:14,100
your spouse or you have kids or
even if your kids are grown, the

941
00:52:14,100 –> 00:52:17,200
family, discipleship, training
school was incredibly

942
00:52:17,500 –> 00:52:20,900
transformational for us and the
16 other families alongside us.

943
00:52:21,800 –> 00:52:24,500
We highly encourage it.
We loved Kona.

944
00:52:24,700 –> 00:52:26,800
We also got to know the team at
Chico.

945
00:52:27,100 –> 00:52:29,400
They are amazing as well.
There are a few others around

946
00:52:29,400 –> 00:52:32,400
the world if you’re thinking but
I don’t really understand what

947
00:52:32,400 –> 00:52:33,700
that was.
Don’t worry.

948
00:52:33,700 –> 00:52:39,300
We had no idea what a DTS was a
A year ago if you’re thinking I

949
00:52:39,300 –> 00:52:40,900
can’t afford something like
that.

950
00:52:40,900 –> 00:52:43,100
Don’t worry.
We didn’t have money for that

951
00:52:43,200 –> 00:52:46,200
either.
We could not afford it and then

952
00:52:46,200 –> 00:52:48,600
when we thought we had a way
through God did it in a

953
00:52:48,608 –> 00:52:53,000
completely different way.
If you’re thinking my family is

954
00:52:53,000 –> 00:52:56,300
too far gone.
My marriage is too far gone?

955
00:52:56,900 –> 00:53:01,800
No like stop that nonsense now
because we have seen and heard

956
00:53:02,300 –> 00:53:06,800
of how God has done abundantly
more than One could ask or

957
00:53:06,808 –> 00:53:10,800
imagine if you’re feeling like,
discipleship, training school,

958
00:53:10,800 –> 00:53:13,300
isn’t what God’s calling you
into the other thing I say is

959
00:53:13,300 –> 00:53:16,000
this everything that we
experience was done in a

960
00:53:16,008 –> 00:53:19,700
specific context in a specific
way, but is not limited to why a

961
00:53:19,700 –> 00:53:23,700
more DTS today you can take
steps of obedience towards God

962
00:53:23,700 –> 00:53:25,400
today.
You can take steps towards your

963
00:53:25,400 –> 00:53:27,800
marriage and say we are going to
claim that we have a good

964
00:53:27,800 –> 00:53:30,400
marriage today.
You can take steps to believing

965
00:53:30,400 –> 00:53:32,400
that God can speak through your
kids today.

966
00:53:32,400 –> 00:53:35,400
You could take steps and
believing that your life could

967
00:53:35,400 –> 00:53:37,400
actually be a Way more than you
can ask her.

968
00:53:37,400 –> 00:53:41,600
Imagine because God Is Bigger
Than we understand and is moving

969
00:53:41,600 –> 00:53:45,200
and working in planting seeds
and doing powerful things.

970
00:53:45,500 –> 00:53:47,600
And we just have to decide
whether we’re willing to look

971
00:53:47,600 –> 00:54:10,700
for that or not.
Past six months are still a

972
00:54:10,700 –> 00:54:14,300
little surreal for us.
I mean, a year ago, we didn’t

973
00:54:14,300 –> 00:54:19,000
even really know what a DTS was.
You know, a year ago, we didn’t

974
00:54:19,000 –> 00:54:22,600
have the financial capabilities
to even know if we were going to

975
00:54:22,600 –> 00:54:25,900
pay mortgage and much less take
on the expenses, that would come

976
00:54:25,900 –> 00:54:30,500
with travel and a training
school, even our best of plans,

977
00:54:30,900 –> 00:54:34,900
you know, weren’t enough and yet
somehow God made it happen.

978
00:54:36,300 –> 00:54:40,700
And on this end of it, we can
see so many ways that God was

979
00:54:40,700 –> 00:54:44,900
putting things in place, so many
ways, that God was positioning

980
00:54:44,900 –> 00:54:46,300
us.
So many ways that God Was

981
00:54:46,300 –> 00:54:49,100
preparing us so many ways that
God was hinting.

982
00:54:49,100 –> 00:54:51,400
I’ve got something big in store
for you.

983
00:54:52,500 –> 00:54:55,700
A year ago, we would never have
dreamed that.

984
00:54:55,700 –> 00:54:58,200
We would have experienced what
we’ve just experienced the last

985
00:54:58,200 –> 00:55:02,900
six months, both the Beautiful
Moments, the joyful moments and

986
00:55:02,900 –> 00:55:08,100
Incredibly difficult moments.
And we Never have dreamed that

987
00:55:08,100 –> 00:55:11,700
we would be where we are today.
The way that we are able to

988
00:55:11,700 –> 00:55:15,200
function as a family walking
towards God together, the way

989
00:55:15,200 –> 00:55:20,600
that my wife and I, as a couple
are more one than we’ve been

990
00:55:20,700 –> 00:55:25,100
probably ever that we have a
shared understanding of who God

991
00:55:25,100 –> 00:55:27,300
is.
And I think for me that’s one of

992
00:55:27,300 –> 00:55:30,700
the greatest gifts out of this
is there’s been so many things

993
00:55:30,700 –> 00:55:34,200
that I’ve experienced about who
God is and how he works and who

994
00:55:34,200 –> 00:55:36,600
he’s called me to be.
But so many many of those

995
00:55:36,600 –> 00:55:38,900
moments have happened on an
individual level.

996
00:55:39,200 –> 00:55:42,800
They weren’t things that my wife
experienced as well, but for the

997
00:55:42,800 –> 00:55:47,700
last six months and even before
that we have been called to walk

998
00:55:47,800 –> 00:55:54,200
a really challenging confusing
unknown journey together and

999
00:55:54,200 –> 00:55:58,000
walking that journey together
has given us shared experiences.

1000
00:55:58,400 –> 00:56:03,800
Shared understanding shared
language, shared expectations so

1001
00:56:03,800 –> 00:56:07,500
that now that we have returned
home and And hit by some

1002
00:56:07,600 –> 00:56:11,300
unexpected and really Hefty
things were able to do it

1003
00:56:11,300 –> 00:56:13,400
together in a way that we never
have before.

1004
00:56:13,400 –> 00:56:16,600
And we’re able to do it with a
confidence in who God is and how

1005
00:56:16,600 –> 00:56:19,300
we will work that he is God and
he is good in a way that we

1006
00:56:19,300 –> 00:56:22,600
couldn’t have before y’all
whatever you’re going through.

1007
00:56:22,600 –> 00:56:26,200
Whether individually or if
you’re married, as a couple know

1008
00:56:26,200 –> 00:56:30,000
that God has abundantly more
than you could ask or imagine

1009
00:56:30,400 –> 00:56:35,500
because the power that is at
work within you, God wants more

1010
00:56:35,500 –> 00:56:38,100
for you than Than even your best
case scenario.

1011
00:56:38,600 –> 00:56:40,700
My wife and I are stories not
done.

1012
00:56:41,300 –> 00:56:45,900
We are still having to remind
ourselves of which true of all

1013
00:56:45,900 –> 00:56:48,000
the things that we’ve shared in
these past episodes.

1014
00:56:48,000 –> 00:56:50,600
We still have to remind
ourselves of that scripture is

1015
00:56:50,600 –> 00:56:54,000
full of moments, where God says,
remember what I’ve done?

1016
00:56:54,200 –> 00:56:57,500
Put things in place Ebenezer’s
to remember because you will

1017
00:56:57,500 –> 00:57:01,200
forget, and you will return to
your old ways, and my wife, and

1018
00:57:01,200 –> 00:57:04,100
I don’t want to return.
We want to keep on moving

1019
00:57:04,100 –> 00:57:07,400
towards this beautiful.
Picture that God is painting for

1020
00:57:07,400 –> 00:57:09,800
us.
And that’s true for you.

1021
00:57:09,800 –> 00:57:13,700
So wherever you are in life,
know that God has a bandhan lie

1022
00:57:13,700 –> 00:57:15,700
more than you can ask, or
imagine know that there is a

1023
00:57:15,700 –> 00:57:19,500
power at work within you and
know that your responsibility is

1024
00:57:19,500 –> 00:57:22,300
just to take that next step
towards God.

1025
00:57:22,400 –> 00:57:26,300
Even if you can’t see where your
foots going to land, especially

1026
00:57:26,300 –> 00:57:28,700
if you can’t see where your foot
is going to land, because it’s

1027
00:57:28,700 –> 00:57:30,700
not about where you’re going to
step.

1028
00:57:31,400 –> 00:57:35,800
It’s about who you’re stepping
towards. today you have the

1029
00:57:35,800 –> 00:57:40,200
opportunity to step towards God,
and this is more than about what

1030
00:57:40,200 –> 00:57:43,500
that means for your finances, or
your job, or your relationships,

1031
00:57:43,500 –> 00:57:49,600
or even your life, This is about
encountering, an amazing

1032
00:57:50,100 –> 00:57:54,600
powerful, loving.
And very real God, who knows?

1033
00:57:54,600 –> 00:57:59,100
You personally, who loves you,
deeply, and who is pursuing you

1034
00:57:59,100 –> 00:58:04,500
right now.
So, whatever that step is for

1035
00:58:04,500 –> 00:58:10,000
