&gt;&gt; I'm so grateful
during those eight years
of infertility

00:00:09.976 --> 00:00:12.645 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
that I was surrounded
by a community of faith,

00:00:12.712 --> 00:00:15.715 align:center line:63% position:50% size:70%
and also given the privilege
of walking through

00:00:15.782 --> 00:00:20.587 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
a very private time
one-on-one with God,

00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:22.789 align:center line:63% position:50% size:73%
the Holy Spirit in your wait,
He is faithful

00:00:22.856 --> 00:00:24.858 align:center line:63% position:50% size:55%
if you'll wait on God.

00:00:24.924 --> 00:00:28.094 align:start line:63% position:18% size:65%
He is faithful to counsel,
to comfort, to lead,

00:00:28.161 --> 00:00:30.330 align:center line:63% position:50% size:55%
and to remind you
of the words of Jesus.

I'm Tammy Trent.

00:00:57.357 --> 00:00:58.324 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I'm so glad you're here.

00:00:58.391 --> 00:00:59.392 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Randy, it's so great

00:00:59.459 --> 00:01:00.460 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
to be back with you.

00:01:00.527 --> 00:01:01.661 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
RANDY: It's great to be here.

00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:02.729 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
And it's great to be here

00:01:02.796 --> 00:01:03.830 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
with you because we have

00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:04.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
someone on the program

00:01:04.964 --> 00:01:05.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that I really think

00:01:06.032 --> 00:01:07.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is going to speak to you

00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:08.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
right where you're at.

00:01:08.535 --> 00:01:09.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
TAMMY: Yeah. I'm so excited

00:01:09.702 --> 00:01:10.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to have her here.

00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:11.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Honestly, I'm thrilled.

00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:12.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I should say I'm thrilled.

00:01:13.039 --> 00:01:14.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I've known her name

00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:15.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for such a long time,

00:01:15.175 --> 00:01:16.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but I have never met her

00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:17.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
until today.

00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:18.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I think today is going

00:01:18.378 --> 00:01:19.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to be special for me.

00:01:19.446 --> 00:01:20.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And I think it's going

00:01:20.513 --> 00:01:21.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to be special for you, too.

00:01:21.614 --> 00:01:22.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
DawnCheré, do you know

00:01:22.682 --> 00:01:23.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
that name?

00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:24.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I've just learned it

00:01:24.818 --> 00:01:25.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
for myself, and she co-pastors

00:01:25.885 --> 00:01:26.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
with her husband.

00:01:26.953 --> 00:01:27.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
She's a singer, has been

00:01:28.054 --> 00:01:29.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a worship leader.

00:01:29.289 --> 00:01:30.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
She speaks, and she is

00:01:30.857 --> 00:01:31.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
an author now.

00:01:31.925 --> 00:01:32.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
She's written a brand-new

00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
book, <i>Slow Burn:</i> "The work

00:01:34.294 --> 00:01:36.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and the wonder of the wait."

00:01:36.396 --> 00:01:37.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It is truly one of

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:38.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my favorite books right now.

00:01:38.865 --> 00:01:40.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Randy, it's so good.

00:01:40.133 --> 00:01:41.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It's a book about the beauty

00:01:41.201 --> 00:01:42.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and the growth that

00:01:42.268 --> 00:01:43.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we can find in the waiting.

00:01:43.736 --> 00:01:44.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
She will take you through it.

00:01:44.771 --> 00:01:46.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's an inspiring story.

00:01:46.105 --> 00:01:47.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You're going to love it.

00:01:47.207 --> 00:01:48.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So, DawnCheré,

00:01:48.241 --> 00:01:49.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
welcome to<i> Life Today.</i>

00:01:49.242 --> 00:01:50.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm so glad you're here.

00:01:50.276 --> 00:01:51.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
DAWNCHERÉ: Thank you.

00:01:51.344 --> 00:01:52.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Thank you both for having me.

00:01:52.512 --> 00:01:53.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
TAMMY: I feel like we kind of

00:01:53.546 --> 00:01:55.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
need to take people back,

00:01:55.181 --> 00:01:56.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
get to know you a little bit,

00:01:56.416 --> 00:01:57.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and figure out

00:01:57.417 --> 00:01:59.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
how did you get to this place

00:01:59.185 --> 00:02:00.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of writing this book,

00:02:00.253 --> 00:02:01.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
<i>Slow Burn?</i>

00:02:01.321 --> 00:02:02.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
How was it birthed?

00:02:02.388 --> 00:02:03.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
DAWNCHERÉ: Absolutely.

00:02:03.456 --> 00:02:04.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Well, I'm originally

00:02:04.524 --> 00:02:05.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
from Shreveport, Louisiana.

00:02:05.592 --> 00:02:06.726 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
My dad is a football coach

00:02:06.793 --> 00:02:07.827 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
and a pastor.

00:02:07.894 --> 00:02:08.962 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
So Friday night lights,

00:02:09.028 --> 00:02:10.396 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and then the front row

00:02:10.463 --> 00:02:12.098 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
every Sunday morning.

00:02:12.165 --> 00:02:13.700 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I'm one of seven kids.

00:02:13.766 --> 00:02:15.568 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
And so, when I got married

00:02:15.635 --> 00:02:17.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
at 21 years old and started

00:02:17.537 --> 00:02:18.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
several years later trying

00:02:18.872 --> 00:02:20.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to have a family, I never

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:21.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
dreamed that we would have

00:02:21.941 --> 00:02:22.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
any trouble at all.

00:02:23.009 --> 00:02:24.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It was like my dad

00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:25.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
winked at my mom,

00:02:25.378 --> 00:02:26.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and she got pregnant.

00:02:26.446 --> 00:02:27.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It was like, this is not

00:02:28.014 --> 00:02:29.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
going to be my story.

00:02:29.749 --> 00:02:31.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
The infertility, I'll never

00:02:31.351 --> 00:02:32.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
forget having my blood tests

00:02:33.019 --> 00:02:34.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and my doctor just

00:02:34.087 --> 00:02:36.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
immediately handing me

00:02:36.322 --> 00:02:37.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a business card and saying,

00:02:37.423 --> 00:02:38.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"You need to go see

00:02:38.525 --> 00:02:39.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
a specialist.

00:02:39.592 --> 00:02:40.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I can't help you."

00:02:40.693 --> 00:02:41.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That started an eight-year

00:02:42.028 --> 00:02:44.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
journey of infertility for

00:02:44.998 --> 00:02:47.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
my husband, Rich and I trying

00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:48.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to have a family.

00:02:48.835 --> 00:02:50.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It was in those eight years

00:02:50.670 --> 00:02:52.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that really this book

00:02:52.105 --> 00:02:53.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
was written.

00:02:53.473 --> 00:02:55.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
<i>Slow Burn</i> just symbolizes

00:02:55.508 --> 00:02:57.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the wait, and all of us

00:02:57.810 --> 00:02:59.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
are in the wait of life.

00:02:59.178 --> 00:03:01.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I discovered that,

00:03:01.214 --> 00:03:02.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
even during eight years

00:03:02.315 --> 00:03:04.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of infertility, when

00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:05.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we're waiting on something

00:03:05.318 --> 00:03:06.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and we get it,

00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:07.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we just begin waiting

00:03:07.554 --> 00:03:08.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on something else.

00:03:08.621 --> 00:03:10.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
The goalposts just move

00:03:10.223 --> 00:03:11.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because we have eternity

00:03:11.691 --> 00:03:13.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
seeded in our hearts.

00:03:13.293 --> 00:03:14.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We have this longing

00:03:14.427 --> 00:03:15.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that can't be fulfilled.

00:03:15.728 --> 00:03:17.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So really, all of life is

00:03:17.297 --> 00:03:19.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
an invitation to wait on God.

00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:20.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: Was this during

00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:22.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the period that VOUS Church

00:03:22.068 --> 00:03:23.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
down in Miami,

00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:24.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you and your husband,

00:03:24.170 --> 00:03:25.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Rich Wilkerson, Jr.,

00:03:25.405 --> 00:03:26.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
founded the church?

00:03:26.606 --> 00:03:27.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
DAWNCHERÉ: Well, we founded

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:29.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the church ten years ago.

00:03:29.075 --> 00:03:30.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We were still walking

00:03:30.209 --> 00:03:31.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
through infertility.

00:03:31.277 --> 00:03:32.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
RANDY: Okay.

00:03:32.345 --> 00:03:33.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You see, that's my question

00:03:33.813 --> 00:03:35.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because you're pastoring,

00:03:35.682 --> 00:03:36.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you're leading,

00:03:36.816 --> 00:03:38.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you're teaching people.

00:03:38.618 --> 00:03:40.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Was there a sense maybe

00:03:40.820 --> 00:03:42.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that things weren't working?

00:03:42.622 --> 00:03:44.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
In other words, you're saying

00:03:44.123 --> 00:03:45.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
one thing, but yeah, like,

00:03:45.358 --> 00:03:46.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
why doesn't this work for us?

00:03:46.526 --> 00:03:47.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Because I think a lot

00:03:47.527 --> 00:03:48.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of people are there.

00:03:48.628 --> 00:03:49.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
DAWNCHERÉ: Absolutely.

00:03:49.829 --> 00:03:51.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We were married for 12 years

00:03:51.431 --> 00:03:52.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
before we had

00:03:52.632 --> 00:03:54.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
our first child, Wyatt.

00:03:54.867 --> 00:03:56.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
There were so many seasons

00:03:56.369 --> 00:03:57.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
where you're wondering,

00:03:58.004 --> 00:03:59.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God, where are you?

00:03:59.372 --> 00:04:01.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
God, what do I do?

00:04:01.341 --> 00:04:03.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It's confusing in the wait.

00:04:03.476 --> 00:04:04.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So many different crossroads

00:04:04.611 --> 00:04:05.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
of life.

00:04:05.812 --> 00:04:07.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's lonely in the wait.

00:04:07.647 --> 00:04:08.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
That's why I thank God

00:04:08.648 --> 00:04:09.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for the local church.

00:04:09.716 --> 00:04:11.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That's why I'm so passionate

00:04:11.250 --> 00:04:12.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
about community,

00:04:12.352 --> 00:04:13.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because it's really easy

00:04:13.486 --> 00:04:14.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to isolate in the wait.

00:04:14.988 --> 00:04:16.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But I'm so grateful

00:04:16.122 --> 00:04:17.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that I was planted.

00:04:17.590 --> 00:04:18.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I don't just lead a church,

00:04:18.958 --> 00:04:19.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I get to participate

00:04:20.059 --> 00:04:21.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the church that I lead

00:04:21.361 --> 00:04:22.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
from small groups

00:04:22.695 --> 00:04:23.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and discipleship and

00:04:23.796 --> 00:04:26.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
friendship and families.

00:04:26.165 --> 00:04:27.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I'm so grateful during those

00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:28.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
eight years of infertility

00:04:28.935 --> 00:04:29.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I was surrounded by

00:04:29.969 --> 00:04:31.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a community of faith.

00:04:31.504 --> 00:04:32.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Also, I was given

00:04:32.905 --> 00:04:34.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the privilege of walking

00:04:34.574 --> 00:04:36.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
through a very private time,

00:04:36.809 --> 00:04:38.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
one-on-one with God.

00:04:38.578 --> 00:04:40.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
The Holy Spirit in your wait.

00:04:40.313 --> 00:04:41.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
He is faithful

00:04:41.748 --> 00:04:43.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
if you'll wait on God.

00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:45.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He is faithful to counsel,

00:04:45.184 --> 00:04:46.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to comfort, to lead,

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:48.021 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and to remind you

00:04:48.087 --> 00:04:49.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of the words of Jesus.

00:04:49.489 --> 00:04:50.723 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
TAMMY: Yeah,

00:04:50.790 --> 00:04:51.958 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
you talk about waiting,

00:04:52.025 --> 00:04:53.092 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and you're grateful for it.

00:04:53.159 --> 00:04:54.160 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I think there's a lot of

00:04:54.227 --> 00:04:55.228 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
people that might be watching

00:04:55.294 --> 00:04:56.362 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to say, I'm not really

00:04:56.429 --> 00:04:57.597 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
grateful for the season

00:04:57.664 --> 00:04:58.831 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
that I'm in.

00:04:58.898 --> 00:05:00.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So how do we do it well?

00:05:00.333 --> 00:05:01.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
How do we wait well?

00:05:01.768 --> 00:05:03.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Is there a way to wait well?

00:05:03.136 --> 00:05:04.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I posted something recently

00:05:04.570 --> 00:05:06.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
on Instagram, I think it was.

00:05:06.205 --> 00:05:07.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Or maybe it was in Facebook

00:05:07.507 --> 00:05:08.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
about waiting.

00:05:08.541 --> 00:05:09.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It was this whole thing

00:05:09.609 --> 00:05:10.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
on waiting.

00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:11.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That even in the darkness,

00:05:11.811 --> 00:05:13.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Jesus doesn't like walk away,

00:05:14.047 --> 00:05:15.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
He draws near.

00:05:15.248 --> 00:05:16.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The Bible says he draws near

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:18.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
like even in the darkness.

00:05:18.084 --> 00:05:19.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's the answer sometimes

00:05:19.485 --> 00:05:20.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that we need.

00:05:20.586 --> 00:05:21.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
When we don't get the answer

00:05:21.654 --> 00:05:23.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we want, His answer is always

00:05:23.122 --> 00:05:24.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that his presence

00:05:24.824 --> 00:05:26.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is always available.

00:05:26.192 --> 00:05:27.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But how do people wait well?

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
When they're like,

00:05:28.494 --> 00:05:29.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I get that.

00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:30.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It all sounds great.

00:05:30.697 --> 00:05:31.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But I hate the season

00:05:31.698 --> 00:05:32.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
that I'm in.

00:05:32.765 --> 00:05:33.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I've been in it way too long,

00:05:33.866 --> 00:05:34.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and I cannot see

00:05:35.034 --> 00:05:36.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the promise right now.

00:05:36.502 --> 00:05:37.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
DAWNCHERÉ: If I'm honest,

00:05:37.637 --> 00:05:38.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I think it's easy to look

00:05:38.805 --> 00:05:40.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
at my story now

00:05:40.073 --> 00:05:41.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with four kids and go,

00:05:41.207 --> 00:05:42.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
oh yeah, it's really easy

00:05:42.241 --> 00:05:43.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
for you to write a book now

00:05:43.409 --> 00:05:44.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
on waiting.

00:05:44.477 --> 00:05:45.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It can be --

00:05:45.545 --> 00:05:47.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it can be looked at as well,

00:05:47.213 --> 00:05:48.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you're already on

00:05:48.281 --> 00:05:49.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the other side.

00:05:49.348 --> 00:05:50.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
What do you have to say

00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:51.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
about waiting?

00:05:51.818 --> 00:05:52.852 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
The truth is, is that

00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:53.920 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
my book, <i>Slow Burn</i>,

00:05:53.986 --> 00:05:55.054 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
was written in the wait.

00:05:55.121 --> 00:05:56.489 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
It was in the wait that

00:05:56.556 --> 00:05:57.623 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I discovered who God is,

00:05:57.690 --> 00:05:59.892 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
who I am in him, and where

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.228 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
my satisfaction comes from.

00:06:02.295 --> 00:06:03.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I waited for eight years.

00:06:03.963 --> 00:06:05.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I'm well aware that there are

00:06:05.465 --> 00:06:06.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
people today that

00:06:06.833 --> 00:06:08.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
they've waited for 18 years,

00:06:08.935 --> 00:06:10.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and they still haven't seen

00:06:10.703 --> 00:06:12.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that specific miracle

00:06:12.371 --> 00:06:13.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
come to pass.

00:06:13.906 --> 00:06:15.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So the story of this book

00:06:15.641 --> 00:06:16.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
is really the story

00:06:16.743 --> 00:06:17.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of all humanity.

00:06:18.010 --> 00:06:19.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That all of us have

00:06:19.946 --> 00:06:22.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the invitation in our wait

00:06:22.115 --> 00:06:25.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to wait on God, and to make

00:06:25.218 --> 00:06:26.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
God the center of our story.

00:06:27.053 --> 00:06:28.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
He does bring satisfaction.

00:06:28.721 --> 00:06:29.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It doesn't mean that

00:06:29.789 --> 00:06:31.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
our heart doesn't long

00:06:31.124 --> 00:06:32.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for all the other

00:06:32.358 --> 00:06:33.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
beautiful things in life.

00:06:33.726 --> 00:06:34.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It just means that your wait

00:06:35.061 --> 00:06:36.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
won't be wasted

00:06:36.429 --> 00:06:37.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
if you wait on God.

00:06:37.797 --> 00:06:38.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Because waiting

00:06:38.898 --> 00:06:40.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is not a season.

00:06:40.233 --> 00:06:41.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Waiting is life.

00:06:41.868 --> 00:06:43.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So the invitation here now

00:06:43.202 --> 00:06:44.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for all of us is,

00:06:44.437 --> 00:06:45.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
are we going to live

00:06:45.671 --> 00:06:46.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the wait?

00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:48.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And to truly live in the wait,

00:06:48.341 --> 00:06:49.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we've got to put

00:06:49.342 --> 00:06:50.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
our trust in Jesus.

00:06:50.476 --> 00:06:51.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
A lot of times, when I hear

00:06:51.611 --> 00:06:52.979 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a testimony or when

00:06:53.045 --> 00:06:54.180 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God surprises me,

00:06:54.247 --> 00:06:55.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'll say, Look at God.

00:06:55.348 --> 00:06:56.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Look at God.

00:06:56.449 --> 00:06:57.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But really, that's

00:06:57.517 --> 00:06:58.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
an invitation for all of us

00:06:58.751 --> 00:06:59.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that in every season,

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:00.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when I'm confused,

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:01.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I want to look at God.

00:07:02.054 --> 00:07:03.089 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
When I'm rejoicing,

00:07:03.156 --> 00:07:04.724 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I want to look at God.

00:07:04.791 --> 00:07:07.193 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
That in the eight years

00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:09.162 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
of infertility,

00:07:09.228 --> 00:07:10.496 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
if I made having a baby

00:07:10.563 --> 00:07:12.899 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
the center of my life,

00:07:12.965 --> 00:07:14.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I would never find

00:07:14.167 --> 00:07:15.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
fulfillment, peace,

00:07:15.701 --> 00:07:17.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
satisfaction in the wait.

00:07:17.503 --> 00:07:18.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But when we lay the pieces

00:07:19.038 --> 00:07:20.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
of our life, the broken pieces

00:07:20.606 --> 00:07:22.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of our life on the altar

00:07:22.208 --> 00:07:23.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
before God daily

00:07:23.743 --> 00:07:24.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
like David did, he said,

00:07:24.911 --> 00:07:26.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I lay out the pieces

00:07:26.512 --> 00:07:28.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of my life on the altar.

00:07:28.414 --> 00:07:29.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Again and again

00:07:29.582 --> 00:07:31.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in every season he would say,

00:07:31.918 --> 00:07:33.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"For you I wait, O, Lord.

00:07:33.653 --> 00:07:35.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I wait on you."

00:07:35.121 --> 00:07:36.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That's really the invitation

00:07:36.489 --> 00:07:37.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for all of us

00:07:37.657 --> 00:07:39.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in every season of life.

00:07:39.125 --> 00:07:40.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
RANDY: So when we think

00:07:40.326 --> 00:07:41.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of waiting, I think

00:07:41.761 --> 00:07:43.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in human terms,

00:07:43.095 --> 00:07:44.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we think of something

00:07:44.130 --> 00:07:45.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that's very passive.

00:07:45.531 --> 00:07:48.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Like I'm just doing nothing,

00:07:48.167 --> 00:07:49.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
killing time, marking time

00:07:49.869 --> 00:07:52.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
until the expected thing.

00:07:52.205 --> 00:07:53.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But it sounds like

00:07:53.406 --> 00:07:54.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
from your experience,

00:07:54.807 --> 00:07:57.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
waiting is not doing nothing.

00:07:57.210 --> 00:07:58.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
DAWNCHERÉ: No.

00:07:58.544 --> 00:07:59.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I think that there is work

00:07:59.846 --> 00:08:00.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and there is wonder

00:08:01.047 --> 00:08:02.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the wait.

00:08:02.114 --> 00:08:03.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The work is surrender.

00:08:03.516 --> 00:08:04.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
The wonder is that

00:08:04.717 --> 00:08:06.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God opens up the eyes

00:08:06.953 --> 00:08:09.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of your spirit to see beauty

00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:11.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
all around you that you

00:08:11.324 --> 00:08:12.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
wouldn't have seen otherwise.

00:08:12.391 --> 00:08:13.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I remember a few years ago

00:08:13.526 --> 00:08:14.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was taking a walk with

00:08:14.894 --> 00:08:16.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
my husband and our first son,

00:08:17.029 --> 00:08:18.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Wyatt, and we were

00:08:18.297 --> 00:08:19.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
just taking a walk

00:08:19.332 --> 00:08:20.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in the neighborhood.

00:08:20.433 --> 00:08:21.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I saw a neighbor picking

00:08:21.834 --> 00:08:24.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
some fruit off of the hedges

00:08:24.070 --> 00:08:25.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in her front yard.

00:08:25.137 --> 00:08:26.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I stopped and talked to her.

00:08:26.672 --> 00:08:27.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I said, "What kind

00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:28.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of fruit is that?"

00:08:28.808 --> 00:08:29.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Because I'd never

00:08:29.876 --> 00:08:30.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
seen it before.

00:08:30.943 --> 00:08:31.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
She said, "These are

00:08:32.011 --> 00:08:33.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
star cherries.

00:08:33.079 --> 00:08:34.080 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
They're high in antioxidants.

00:08:34.146 --> 00:08:35.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
They're awesome."

00:08:35.214 --> 00:08:36.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We just kept walking.

00:08:36.282 --> 00:08:37.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Just in my heart,

00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:38.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you know how you just

00:08:38.584 --> 00:08:39.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
continue the conversation

00:08:39.652 --> 00:08:40.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
with God?

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just said a little prayer.

00:08:42.255 --> 00:08:44.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I said, God, I would love

00:08:44.190 --> 00:08:45.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to have fruit in my yard

00:08:45.591 --> 00:08:46.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
one day.

00:08:46.993 --> 00:08:48.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We just kept walking.

00:08:48.327 --> 00:08:49.962 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
The next day,

00:08:50.029 --> 00:08:51.330 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I'm in the backyard with

00:08:51.397 --> 00:08:52.632 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
my kids and my kids

00:08:52.698 --> 00:08:53.766 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
start yelling, "Mom!

00:08:53.833 --> 00:08:55.067 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
Mom, come to the back!"

00:08:55.134 --> 00:08:56.435 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I walked to the back

00:08:56.502 --> 00:08:57.536 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
corner of the yard where

00:08:57.603 --> 00:08:59.805 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I wasn't very often there

00:08:59.872 --> 00:09:01.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and there by the chain link

00:09:01.540 --> 00:09:03.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
fence at my feet are

00:09:04.010 --> 00:09:06.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the exact star cherries that

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I had said a little prayer

00:09:08.347 --> 00:09:09.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
for under my breath

00:09:09.815 --> 00:09:11.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the day before.

00:09:11.183 --> 00:09:12.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They were rotting in

00:09:12.518 --> 00:09:13.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the gravel at my feet because

00:09:13.719 --> 00:09:14.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
no one had picked them.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:16.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I ran inside.

00:09:16.188 --> 00:09:17.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I ran inside, I got a bowl,

00:09:17.757 --> 00:09:18.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I got a ladder.

00:09:19.025 --> 00:09:20.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I started to bring

00:09:20.326 --> 00:09:22.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in my hidden harvest.

00:09:22.295 --> 00:09:23.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It was an awakening moment

00:09:23.963 --> 00:09:26.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for me of like, Lord,

00:09:26.832 --> 00:09:28.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
what fruit in my life

00:09:28.968 --> 00:09:31.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
am I allowing to rot

00:09:32.004 --> 00:09:33.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the soil of my soul,

00:09:33.306 --> 00:09:34.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because I don't have

00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:35.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the eyes to see what

00:09:35.641 --> 00:09:36.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you've already provided.

00:09:36.976 --> 00:09:38.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I don't want to go

00:09:38.210 --> 00:09:39.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
through life so focused on

00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:40.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the one thing I want

00:09:41.047 --> 00:09:42.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that I miss out on what

00:09:42.682 --> 00:09:45.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God has destined for me.

00:09:45.418 --> 00:09:46.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just think there's beauty,

00:09:47.053 --> 00:09:48.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
there's community,

00:09:48.254 --> 00:09:49.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
there's friendship,

00:09:49.922 --> 00:09:51.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
there's support,

00:09:51.157 --> 00:09:52.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
there's strength,

00:09:52.525 --> 00:09:54.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
there's Holy Spirit power

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:55.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
waiting for all of us

00:09:56.062 --> 00:09:57.196 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the wait.

00:09:57.263 --> 00:09:58.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And even our tears

00:09:58.965 --> 00:10:00.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
can be laid on the altar

00:10:00.099 --> 00:10:01.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the wait.

00:10:01.233 --> 00:10:02.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
<i>Slow Burn </i>is not a message

00:10:02.435 --> 00:10:03.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of slap a smile on your face,

00:10:03.836 --> 00:10:05.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
get it together,

00:10:05.104 --> 00:10:06.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and you better be happy

00:10:06.339 --> 00:10:07.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the wait.

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:08.607 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
No, the message of <i>Slow Burn</i>

00:10:08.674 --> 00:10:09.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is the message we read

00:10:09.742 --> 00:10:10.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the Word of God;

00:10:10.910 --> 00:10:11.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that he counts our tears,

00:10:12.044 --> 00:10:13.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that he holds them

00:10:13.346 --> 00:10:14.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in a bottle.

00:10:14.347 --> 00:10:15.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That those who sow in tears,

00:10:15.815 --> 00:10:16.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
they will reap

00:10:16.916 --> 00:10:17.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with shouts of joy.

00:10:18.017 --> 00:10:19.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So even when I don't have

00:10:19.185 --> 00:10:20.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a powerful prayer to pray

00:10:21.020 --> 00:10:22.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and the tears just flow down

00:10:22.321 --> 00:10:23.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my face, I know that even

00:10:23.990 --> 00:10:26.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
those tears are seeds

00:10:26.192 --> 00:10:27.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because of our faithful God.

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He's with us.

00:10:29.362 --> 00:10:30.363 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
TAMMY: You preach

00:10:30.429 --> 00:10:31.430 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
a good word.

00:10:31.497 --> 00:10:32.531 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Wow! Girl, that's so good.

00:10:32.598 --> 00:10:34.633 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
I love that

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:35.801 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
he's in the hidden places

00:10:35.868 --> 00:10:36.836 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Which brings that

00:10:36.902 --> 00:10:37.903 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
to the wonder.

00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:39.038 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
The adventure of don't stay

00:10:39.105 --> 00:10:40.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
focused on the one thing

00:10:40.206 --> 00:10:41.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that you're just,

00:10:41.273 --> 00:10:42.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
oh, I'm waiting for this,

00:10:42.408 --> 00:10:43.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
this, and this.

00:10:43.476 --> 00:10:44.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
It's not happened but you can

00:10:44.877 --> 00:10:45.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
look outside of that

00:10:45.945 --> 00:10:46.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and see the wonder

00:10:47.013 --> 00:10:48.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of what God wants to do

00:10:48.414 --> 00:10:49.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in that waiting season.

00:10:49.482 --> 00:10:50.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He might just give you

00:10:50.649 --> 00:10:51.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
some new fruit.

00:10:51.717 --> 00:10:52.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I love that so much.

00:10:52.852 --> 00:10:53.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
In chapter 13, you say,

00:10:54.020 --> 00:10:55.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I love this, you say,

00:10:55.421 --> 00:10:56.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"God is not waiting

00:10:56.622 --> 00:10:58.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
for your strength.

00:10:58.357 --> 00:10:59.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He's waiting for you to

00:10:59.859 --> 00:11:02.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
surrender to his strength."

00:11:02.094 --> 00:11:03.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Tell me about that

00:11:03.129 --> 00:11:04.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and why that was

00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:05.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
so important for you.

00:11:05.398 --> 00:11:06.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
DAWNCHERÉ: Well, I'm just

00:11:06.465 --> 00:11:07.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
encouraged when I read the

00:11:07.566 --> 00:11:08.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
word of God that God doesn't

00:11:08.901 --> 00:11:11.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
call the bravest to lead.

00:11:11.337 --> 00:11:12.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Often, he chooses the people

00:11:12.872 --> 00:11:14.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that are the most afraid,

00:11:14.273 --> 00:11:15.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and he speaks to them.

00:11:15.307 --> 00:11:16.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
What does he say

00:11:16.409 --> 00:11:17.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
again and again?

00:11:17.476 --> 00:11:19.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"Do not be afraid."

00:11:19.678 --> 00:11:20.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Since I was a little girl,

00:11:20.913 --> 00:11:23.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I've dealt with fear.

00:11:23.916 --> 00:11:26.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Intimidation, insecurity,

00:11:26.619 --> 00:11:28.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
not wanting to take one step

00:11:28.154 --> 00:11:30.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
until I knew the whole story,

00:11:30.189 --> 00:11:31.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
till I could see

00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:32.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the whole picture, wanting

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:34.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to do everything perfect.

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So never giving it a shot

00:11:37.029 --> 00:11:38.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
unless I was sure

00:11:38.330 --> 00:11:40.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that I could do it right.

00:11:40.132 --> 00:11:41.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
When I was a teenager,

00:11:41.567 --> 00:11:42.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I just had an encounter

00:11:42.902 --> 00:11:44.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with God in church.

00:11:44.470 --> 00:11:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I just love local church.

00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:47.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I just had an encounter

00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:48.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in a quiet moment

00:11:48.707 --> 00:11:50.076 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that I realized,

00:11:50.142 --> 00:11:52.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God, through your power,

00:11:52.178 --> 00:11:53.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I can choose to walk

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
through my fear.

00:11:54.613 --> 00:11:55.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I love the Scripture says,

00:11:55.681 --> 00:11:57.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
"There is no fear in love.

00:11:57.149 --> 00:11:58.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Perfect love casts out

00:11:58.284 --> 00:11:59.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
all fear."

00:11:59.618 --> 00:12:02.054 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
So, even in my 40s today,

00:12:02.121 --> 00:12:03.456 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I'm reminded that

00:12:03.522 --> 00:12:04.824 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I don't walk through fear

00:12:04.890 --> 00:12:06.158 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
or through just hyping

00:12:06.225 --> 00:12:07.526 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
myself up, or trying to look

00:12:07.593 --> 00:12:09.728 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
at my Rolodex

00:12:09.795 --> 00:12:11.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or my resumé of what

00:12:11.197 --> 00:12:13.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I've done or who I know.

00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:15.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
No, it's his love that

00:12:15.134 --> 00:12:17.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
gives me the boldness

00:12:17.703 --> 00:12:19.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and the courage to embrace

00:12:19.672 --> 00:12:21.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
whatever season I'm in.

00:12:22.007 --> 00:12:23.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So that surrender for me

00:12:24.009 --> 00:12:26.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
is not just in one season when

00:12:26.445 --> 00:12:28.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I was waiting to have a child.

00:12:28.481 --> 00:12:29.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That surrender is now

00:12:29.748 --> 00:12:31.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is that I'm seeking God.

00:12:31.217 --> 00:12:32.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Lord, how do I raise

00:12:32.551 --> 00:12:33.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a seven-year-old,

00:12:33.786 --> 00:12:35.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
five-year-old, four-year-old,

00:12:35.721 --> 00:12:36.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a nine-month-old?

00:12:36.956 --> 00:12:38.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Lord, how do I step into

00:12:38.257 --> 00:12:40.793 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
this 20th year of marriage

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:42.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
more committed than ever?

00:12:42.761 --> 00:12:44.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Lord, how do I lead

00:12:44.430 --> 00:12:45.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
your people the way that

00:12:45.764 --> 00:12:46.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you desire me to, God?

00:12:47.066 --> 00:12:48.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
How do I walk out the

00:12:48.734 --> 00:12:50.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
relationships in my family,

00:12:50.402 --> 00:12:51.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with my friends

00:12:51.403 --> 00:12:53.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when things get complicated?

00:12:53.172 --> 00:12:54.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I just learned that before

00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:56.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I rely on my own strength,

00:12:56.275 --> 00:12:57.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
if I'll just bring God

00:12:57.409 --> 00:13:00.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
my surrender, He said unto me,

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:01.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
my grace is sufficient

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:02.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you.

00:13:02.848 --> 00:13:04.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
My power is made perfect

00:13:04.717 --> 00:13:06.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in weakness.

00:13:06.152 --> 00:13:07.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Therefore, I can boast

00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:08.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
all the more gladly about

00:13:08.821 --> 00:13:09.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my weaknesses so that

00:13:09.955 --> 00:13:11.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Christ's power

00:13:11.157 --> 00:13:12.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
may rest on me.

00:13:12.491 --> 00:13:14.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
<i>Slow Burn</i> is just a book

00:13:14.093 --> 00:13:16.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
boasting of my weakness,

00:13:16.595 --> 00:13:17.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and God's faithfulness

00:13:17.863 --> 00:13:19.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
through it all.

00:13:19.265 --> 00:13:20.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He just wants

00:13:20.432 --> 00:13:22.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
our surrender today.

00:13:22.568 --> 00:13:23.869 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: There's this idea

00:13:23.936 --> 00:13:25.471 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
in scripture, be perfect

00:13:25.538 --> 00:13:27.373 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
as God is perfect.

00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:28.574 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You read that and go,

00:13:28.641 --> 00:13:29.642 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that's impossible.

00:13:29.708 --> 00:13:31.010 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
Why would He even say that?

00:13:31.076 --> 00:13:32.077 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
But when you look at

00:13:32.144 --> 00:13:33.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the language, it's about

00:13:33.212 --> 00:13:35.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
wholeness, being perfected.

00:13:35.347 --> 00:13:36.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It's like, behold.

00:13:36.815 --> 00:13:37.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
When I look at the Israelites

00:13:38.017 --> 00:13:39.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and they were delivered

00:13:39.118 --> 00:13:40.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
from Egypt, and God had

00:13:40.286 --> 00:13:41.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
this promised land,

00:13:41.353 --> 00:13:43.355 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
this place of security

00:13:43.422 --> 00:13:46.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and of overflowing bounty,

00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:47.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I feel like that's

00:13:47.693 --> 00:13:49.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
our destiny in Christ.

00:13:49.929 --> 00:13:51.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But there's this desert

00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:52.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in between.

00:13:52.798 --> 00:13:54.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What's the desert for?

00:13:54.099 --> 00:13:55.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Because we get in the desert

00:13:55.167 --> 00:13:56.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and we can be like

00:13:56.335 --> 00:13:57.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the Israelites being like,

00:13:57.503 --> 00:13:58.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Oh, it was better back there.

00:13:58.971 --> 00:14:00.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Or, does God really mean

00:14:00.272 --> 00:14:01.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what he says he means?

00:14:01.407 --> 00:14:02.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Can I really trust him?

00:14:02.675 --> 00:14:03.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But that's where we learn.

00:14:03.776 --> 00:14:06.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That's that <i>Slow Burn</i>

00:14:06.078 --> 00:14:07.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
where he wants to develop

00:14:07.546 --> 00:14:09.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the character in us where

00:14:09.114 --> 00:14:11.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we can then possess the land

00:14:11.984 --> 00:14:15.721 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
in that full kind of blessing.

00:14:15.788 --> 00:14:17.156 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
I think the difficulty,

00:14:17.223 --> 00:14:18.357 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
though, with some of

00:14:18.424 --> 00:14:19.992 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the particulars, whether

00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:21.460 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
it's having children

00:14:21.527 --> 00:14:23.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
or getting married,

00:14:23.996 --> 00:14:27.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or getting that job,

00:14:27.166 --> 00:14:29.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we sometimes ask,

00:14:29.835 --> 00:14:31.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is this really God's will

00:14:31.503 --> 00:14:32.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or is this my own idea,

00:14:33.005 --> 00:14:34.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
or is this what society's

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
pressure has put on me?

00:14:37.476 --> 00:14:38.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And so, we don't know

00:14:38.644 --> 00:14:41.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
whether to just let that go

00:14:41.113 --> 00:14:43.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or hold to the promise.

00:14:43.649 --> 00:14:45.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
How did you deal with

00:14:45.084 --> 00:14:46.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that question of

00:14:46.785 --> 00:14:48.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
does God want us to adopt?

00:14:48.621 --> 00:14:50.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
How do you know if it's

00:14:50.189 --> 00:14:51.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my desire or God's desire

00:14:51.857 --> 00:14:53.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that I should hold to

00:14:53.492 --> 00:14:54.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in that period?

00:14:54.827 --> 00:14:55.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Because that's where a lot

00:14:55.928 --> 00:14:56.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of the struggle is I think

00:14:56.962 --> 00:14:57.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for some good people.

00:14:58.063 --> 00:14:59.465 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
DAWNCHERÉ: That is it exactly.

00:14:59.531 --> 00:15:00.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: And eight years --

00:15:00.733 --> 00:15:01.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and eight years saying,

00:15:01.967 --> 00:15:03.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
exactly, when do you say

00:15:03.168 --> 00:15:04.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is this me? Is it God?

00:15:04.303 --> 00:15:05.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I've gone eight years now.

00:15:05.671 --> 00:15:07.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
DAWNCHERÉ: I love that you,

00:15:07.606 --> 00:15:09.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that you noted the wilderness

00:15:09.108 --> 00:15:10.142 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
because the wilderness

00:15:10.209 --> 00:15:11.277 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
actually signifies

00:15:11.343 --> 00:15:12.978 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
a place of testing.

00:15:13.045 --> 00:15:14.079 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
We see it

00:15:14.146 --> 00:15:15.648 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
throughout Scripture.

00:15:15.714 --> 00:15:17.249 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
That period of testing

00:15:17.316 --> 00:15:18.384 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
is often equated

00:15:18.450 --> 00:15:19.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to the number 40

00:15:19.718 --> 00:15:21.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
throughout Scripture.

00:15:21.253 --> 00:15:22.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I just turned 40 last year,

00:15:22.988 --> 00:15:24.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and so releasing this book,

00:15:24.423 --> 00:15:25.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it was significant for me

00:15:25.758 --> 00:15:26.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that it would be this year

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that it was released.

00:15:28.327 --> 00:15:29.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But we see throughout

00:15:29.461 --> 00:15:30.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
scripture 40 representing

00:15:31.030 --> 00:15:32.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a period of testing,

00:15:32.264 --> 00:15:33.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a period of trials.

00:15:34.066 --> 00:15:35.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
When I think about

00:15:35.968 --> 00:15:38.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the wilderness, I think

00:15:38.237 --> 00:15:40.706 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
about the opportunity to

00:15:40.773 --> 00:15:44.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
trust God right where I am.

00:15:44.276 --> 00:15:45.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I think a lot of times,

00:15:45.544 --> 00:15:46.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
we want to know

00:15:46.645 --> 00:15:48.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
what the end game is.

00:15:48.747 --> 00:15:50.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We know the actual endgame

00:15:50.516 --> 00:15:51.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is eternity with Jesus --

00:15:52.017 --> 00:15:55.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
no pain, no shame, no tears.

00:15:55.254 --> 00:15:56.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
No more waiting is what

00:15:56.522 --> 00:15:58.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we're all waiting on.

00:15:58.924 --> 00:16:01.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Eternity has been seeded here.

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But for all of our life,

00:16:02.895 --> 00:16:03.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we're going to be

00:16:04.029 --> 00:16:05.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
waiting on him.

00:16:05.297 --> 00:16:06.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You ask important questions.

00:16:06.565 --> 00:16:07.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
How do you know

00:16:07.766 --> 00:16:09.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what you should do?

00:16:09.101 --> 00:16:10.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
For me, it's been seeking

00:16:10.369 --> 00:16:12.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
his peace with every step.

00:16:12.304 --> 00:16:13.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I love that Scripture

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:14.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
tells us that the steps

00:16:14.506 --> 00:16:15.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of a righteous man,

00:16:15.641 --> 00:16:16.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or the steps of a good man,

00:16:16.742 --> 00:16:18.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a good woman are ordered

00:16:18.477 --> 00:16:20.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
of God.

00:16:20.346 --> 00:16:21.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And so, a lot of times I can

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:23.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
get the order out of order

00:16:23.982 --> 00:16:25.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because I'm impatient,

00:16:25.417 --> 00:16:26.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because I lean on my own

00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:27.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
understanding instead of

00:16:28.020 --> 00:16:29.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
acknowledging him in all

00:16:29.355 --> 00:16:30.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
my ways so that he can

00:16:30.489 --> 00:16:31.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
actually direct my path.

00:16:31.857 --> 00:16:32.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Because when God directs

00:16:33.025 --> 00:16:37.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
our path, it's not a formula.

00:16:37.896 --> 00:16:39.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
TAMMY: It's a design.

00:16:39.298 --> 00:16:40.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
DAWNCHERE: Yes,

00:16:40.466 --> 00:16:41.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
it's a relationship.

00:16:41.667 --> 00:16:42.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So I was talking to

00:16:42.835 --> 00:16:44.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a young woman this morning

00:16:44.269 --> 00:16:46.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who's been waiting

00:16:46.105 --> 00:16:47.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to find the person to marry

00:16:47.973 --> 00:16:48.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that she wants

00:16:49.007 --> 00:16:50.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to walk alongside.

00:16:50.776 --> 00:16:51.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And it comes down to,

00:16:52.010 --> 00:16:53.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
how do I wait being

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:56.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
fully satisfied in you

00:16:56.248 --> 00:16:58.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
while also holding to faith

00:16:58.817 --> 00:17:00.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that God, you can do anything?

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:02.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
There's work

00:17:02.488 --> 00:17:04.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and there's wonder.

00:17:04.256 --> 00:17:05.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
What I found in

00:17:05.424 --> 00:17:06.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the eight years,

00:17:06.658 --> 00:17:07.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and what I'm still finding,

00:17:07.893 --> 00:17:08.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because this is just

00:17:09.061 --> 00:17:10.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
my life message.

00:17:10.329 --> 00:17:11.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm still walking out

00:17:11.663 --> 00:17:12.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the<i> Slow Burn</i> of laying

00:17:12.898 --> 00:17:13.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the pieces of my life

00:17:14.032 --> 00:17:15.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
before God day by day.

00:17:15.567 --> 00:17:16.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But what I've discovered is

00:17:17.035 --> 00:17:19.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it's that daily surrender

00:17:19.104 --> 00:17:20.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that gives us

00:17:20.939 --> 00:17:22.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
daily direction.

00:17:22.307 --> 00:17:23.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: Yeah, like the manna

00:17:23.542 --> 00:17:25.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the wilderness. Yeah.

00:17:25.477 --> 00:17:26.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
A part of that, if you're

00:17:26.545 --> 00:17:27.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
watching and you feel like

00:17:27.646 --> 00:17:28.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you're in that wilderness

00:17:28.947 --> 00:17:30.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
place, you're in that kind

00:17:30.482 --> 00:17:31.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of<i> Slow Burn</i>, you don't

00:17:31.817 --> 00:17:33.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
really know what to do,

00:17:33.585 --> 00:17:35.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a part of walking

00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:38.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
through that is prayer.

00:17:38.157 --> 00:17:40.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And prayer, yes, you and God.

00:17:40.626 --> 00:17:41.593 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
But also, prayer

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:43.028 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
with someone else.

00:17:43.095 --> 00:17:44.663 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
We have people right now

00:17:44.730 --> 00:17:46.565 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
who will pray with you.

00:17:46.632 --> 00:17:47.699 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
They won't have all

00:17:47.766 --> 00:17:48.834 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the answers necessarily,

00:17:48.901 --> 00:17:50.002 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
but what they can do

00:17:50.068 --> 00:17:51.236 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
is walk with you for just

00:17:51.303 --> 00:17:53.872 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
a few minutes and ask God

00:17:53.939 --> 00:17:55.140 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to encourage you,

00:17:55.207 --> 00:17:56.341 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to give you direction,

00:17:56.408 --> 00:17:59.445 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
to help you lean on him daily

00:17:59.511 --> 00:18:03.348 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
to get that manna from heaven.

00:18:03.415 --> 00:18:05.250 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
So pick up the phone.

00:18:05.317 --> 00:18:06.652 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
They're waiting.

00:18:06.718 --> 00:18:07.820 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
We want to pray.

00:18:07.886 --> 00:18:09.087 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
We want to encourage you

00:18:09.154 --> 00:18:10.956 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
because God is taking you

00:18:11.023 --> 00:18:12.891 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
on this journey.

00:18:12.958 --> 00:18:13.926 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
So don't miss it.

00:18:13.992 --> 00:18:15.060 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Don't miss what he's doing

00:18:15.127 --> 00:18:17.029 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
in your life right now.

00:18:17.095 --> 00:18:18.197 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Then there's another thing

00:18:18.263 --> 00:18:20.132 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
we want you to take a look at.

00:18:20.199 --> 00:18:21.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Tammy, I know you've been

00:18:21.934 --> 00:18:24.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
most recently to these areas,

00:18:24.102 --> 00:18:25.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but we have a tremendous

00:18:25.370 --> 00:18:27.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
opportunity to encourage

00:18:27.306 --> 00:18:28.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
others who are in

00:18:28.373 --> 00:18:29.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a very dark place.

00:18:29.875 --> 00:18:31.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
TAMMY: I think the message

00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:33.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of what you're saying

00:18:33.212 --> 00:18:34.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and DawnCheré today

00:18:34.313 --> 00:18:35.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is it's so important

00:18:35.814 --> 00:18:36.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to find community,

00:18:36.815 --> 00:18:37.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
people will stand with you

00:18:37.983 --> 00:18:39.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and not isolate yourself.

00:18:39.384 --> 00:18:40.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
The privilege I had going

00:18:40.853 --> 00:18:42.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to Southeast Asia was to sit

00:18:42.554 --> 00:18:44.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in some spaces with people

00:18:44.857 --> 00:18:45.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that needed community.

00:18:45.924 --> 00:18:47.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They needed our arms

00:18:47.192 --> 00:18:48.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
wrapped around them.

00:18:48.260 --> 00:18:49.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
They needed prayer,

00:18:49.328 --> 00:18:50.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
they needed life.

00:18:50.395 --> 00:18:51.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
God sent us in these places

00:18:51.864 --> 00:18:53.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
where I got to sit

00:18:53.298 --> 00:18:54.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and hold them

00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:55.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and pray over them

00:18:55.334 --> 00:18:56.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and speak life into them.

00:18:56.902 --> 00:18:57.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's incredible stories

00:18:58.003 --> 00:18:59.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that we captured.

00:18:59.338 --> 00:19:00.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Here's one that I want you

00:19:00.506 --> 00:19:02.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to take a look at right now.

00:19:06.411 --> 00:19:08.347 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
TAMMY: Here I am
in Southeast Asia,

00:19:08.413 --> 00:19:10.349 align:center line:74% position:50% size:45%
where last night,
for the first time
in my life,

00:19:10.415 --> 00:19:12.351 align:center line:58% position:50% size:48%
I strolled
through the streets

00:19:12.417 --> 00:19:14.786 align:center line:58% position:50% size:58%
of what we would call
the red-light district.

00:19:14.853 --> 00:19:17.055 align:start line:63% position:35% size:28%
What I saw,

00:19:17.122 --> 00:19:20.959 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
I don't think
I was prepared for.

00:19:21.026 --> 00:19:24.129 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
Girl after girl
after girl

00:19:24.196 --> 00:19:27.733 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
waiting to be sold
for sex.

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.136 align:start line:79% position:33% size:33%
But as I met
many of them,

00:19:31.203 --> 00:19:34.940 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
God gave me
an incredible opportunity

00:19:35.007 --> 00:19:37.543 align:center line:85% position:50% size:50%
to minister to them.

00:19:37.609 --> 00:19:39.545 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
A moment of just
loving on them

00:19:39.611 --> 00:19:43.448 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
right where they were.

00:19:43.515 --> 00:19:48.053 align:start line:58% position:33% size:35%
I'm so sorry
for everything

00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:51.456 align:center line:58% position:50% size:60%
you've had to go through
in your young life.

00:19:51.523 --> 00:19:53.659 align:start line:85% position:23% size:55%
You didn't deserve it.

00:19:53.725 --> 00:19:56.194 align:start line:85% position:23% size:53%
It wasn't your fault.

00:19:56.261 --> 00:20:00.732 align:start line:85% position:23% size:53%
You are so beautiful,

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.602 align:center line:85% position:50% size:30%
so valuable,

00:20:03.669 --> 00:20:08.674 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
so important
and so loved.

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:13.278 align:start line:85% position:35% size:28%
I'm so glad

00:20:13.345 --> 00:20:17.249 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
that you have found
a forever family

00:20:17.316 --> 00:20:21.753 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
who loves everything
about you.

00:20:21.820 --> 00:20:28.226 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
Jesus will never
let you go.

00:20:28.293 --> 00:20:30.829 align:start line:85% position:28% size:45%
He fights for you.

00:20:30.896 --> 00:20:36.268 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
You are his
and you've always been.

00:20:36.335 --> 00:20:41.273 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
I am your sister
in Christ.

00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:45.877 align:start line:85% position:23% size:53%
I'm your forever fam.

00:20:45.944 --> 00:20:49.348 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
The feeling that I got
in those moments,

00:20:49.414 --> 00:20:54.620 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
talking with those girls
that not one of them --

00:20:54.686 --> 00:20:57.189 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
not one of them
ever dreamed

00:20:57.255 --> 00:21:00.726 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
of being in a place
like that.

00:21:00.792 --> 00:21:02.728 align:start line:85% position:25% size:48%
They feel no worth.

00:21:02.794 --> 00:21:04.730 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
They feel like
somebody else's property.

00:21:04.796 --> 00:21:06.732 align:start line:85% position:25% size:50%
They have no dreams.

00:21:06.798 --> 00:21:09.001 align:start line:85% position:28% size:45%
They have no hope.

00:21:09.067 --> 00:21:11.003 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
God sent us in there,
in that place,

00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:13.939 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
to speak life to them.

00:21:14.006 --> 00:21:15.941 align:start line:85% position:30% size:40%
I kept thinking,

00:21:16.008 --> 00:21:21.780 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
what can I do to help
set the captives free?

00:21:21.847 --> 00:21:25.784 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
But I've seen it.
There is a way out.

00:21:25.851 --> 00:21:28.320 align:start line:85% position:25% size:48%
There is a way out.

00:21:29.588 --> 00:21:31.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
TAMMY: This is real life

00:21:31.490 --> 00:21:32.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
for them.

00:21:32.658 --> 00:21:33.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
That's what I just

00:21:33.725 --> 00:21:34.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
keep thinking.

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
This isn't me sitting

00:21:36.061 --> 00:21:40.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
behind a camera trying to

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
come up with a story

00:21:42.901 --> 00:21:44.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that's a half-truth

00:21:44.069 --> 00:21:45.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
or a little bit of truth.

00:21:45.237 --> 00:21:50.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
This is 100% their story.

00:21:50.075 --> 00:21:51.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
This is life

00:21:51.410 --> 00:21:53.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
for them every day.

00:21:53.879 --> 00:21:56.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That trip changed my life.

00:21:56.381 --> 00:21:57.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I wasn't prepared for

00:21:57.783 --> 00:21:58.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the things that I saw,

00:21:59.017 --> 00:22:00.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the spaces that I was in,

00:22:00.185 --> 00:22:02.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the moments that God gave me

00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:03.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to just sit with them

00:22:03.321 --> 00:22:04.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and hold them

00:22:04.456 --> 00:22:05.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and pray with them

00:22:05.691 --> 00:22:08.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and speak life into them.

00:22:08.827 --> 00:22:09.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I feel like I want to be

00:22:10.028 --> 00:22:11.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there again right now when

00:22:11.296 --> 00:22:12.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I see a piece like that.

00:22:12.364 --> 00:22:13.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to go back.

00:22:13.598 --> 00:22:15.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I want to check on her

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:19.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to see if she's okay;

00:22:19.638 --> 00:22:21.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
see if we were able to

00:22:21.239 --> 00:22:24.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
rescue somebody else today.

00:22:24.609 --> 00:22:25.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm so thankful

00:22:25.911 --> 00:22:27.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
for this ministry.

00:22:27.212 --> 00:22:28.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm thankful for James

00:22:28.613 --> 00:22:29.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and Betty.

00:22:29.881 --> 00:22:31.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
All the years that

00:22:31.416 --> 00:22:32.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I've watched this program,

00:22:32.851 --> 00:22:34.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I watched a Rescue Life

00:22:34.753 --> 00:22:40.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
program, and now I get to go.

00:22:40.292 --> 00:22:41.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I get to be sent,

00:22:41.426 --> 00:22:42.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and I get to go,

00:22:42.461 --> 00:22:43.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I get to experience it.

00:22:43.762 --> 00:22:45.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I get to come back and

00:22:45.163 --> 00:22:47.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I get to share their stories.

00:22:47.699 --> 00:22:49.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's what I'm doing today,

00:22:49.401 --> 00:22:51.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
sharing that story.

00:22:51.903 --> 00:22:53.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
There's hundreds of thousands,

00:22:53.872 --> 00:22:58.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
millions more just like it.

00:22:58.610 --> 00:23:00.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So what do we do?

00:23:00.812 --> 00:23:05.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
What do we do?

00:23:05.383 --> 00:23:06.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We cannot just sit back

00:23:07.052 --> 00:23:08.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and do nothing.

00:23:08.754 --> 00:23:10.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
We can't.

00:23:10.489 --> 00:23:12.023 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
Their very lives

00:23:12.090 --> 00:23:13.625 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
depend on it today.

00:23:13.692 --> 00:23:15.627 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
We have to reach them.

00:23:15.694 --> 00:23:17.462 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
We have to rescue them.

00:23:17.529 --> 00:23:18.864 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
We have to bring

00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:20.799 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
restoration to their lives.

00:23:20.866 --> 00:23:22.768 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Randy, we can do it.

00:23:22.834 --> 00:23:24.336 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
There are simple ways

00:23:24.402 --> 00:23:25.537 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
we will give you right now.

00:23:25.604 --> 00:23:26.738 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
I'm going to ask you, Randy,

00:23:26.805 --> 00:23:27.973 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
give us some clear

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.207 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
instructions on how

00:23:29.274 --> 00:23:30.709 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
they can get involved

00:23:30.776 --> 00:23:32.644 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
to make this happen.

00:23:32.711 --> 00:23:34.045 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
RANDY: Well, first of all,

00:23:34.112 --> 00:23:35.380 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
you need to know that

00:23:35.447 --> 00:23:36.648 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
we want your prayers because

00:23:36.715 --> 00:23:39.551 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
this is a spiritual battle

00:23:39.618 --> 00:23:41.119 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
that we are engaged in.

00:23:41.186 --> 00:23:42.387 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
But if you look in Scripture,

00:23:42.454 --> 00:23:44.422 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
God always uses people

00:23:44.489 --> 00:23:46.858 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
to carry out his plan.

00:23:46.925 --> 00:23:48.426 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
What is his plan?

00:23:48.493 --> 00:23:50.028 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
I believe, and we all believe

00:23:50.095 --> 00:23:51.563 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
here, that it is to give them

00:23:51.630 --> 00:23:53.265 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that safe place to share

00:23:53.331 --> 00:23:55.767 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
with them the love of Christ.

00:23:55.834 --> 00:23:56.968 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
We want you to start that

00:23:57.035 --> 00:23:59.237 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
process for someone today.

00:23:59.304 --> 00:24:00.405 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
When you look at the overall

00:24:00.472 --> 00:24:02.140 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
budget of this outreach,

00:24:02.207 --> 00:24:04.976 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
$128 will begin that process

00:24:05.043 --> 00:24:06.545 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
of reaching and rescuing

00:24:06.611 --> 00:24:08.914 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and restoring one child.

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:10.882 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
A gift of $1,280 will do that

00:24:10.949 --> 00:24:12.517 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
for ten children.

00:24:12.584 --> 00:24:14.286 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
We really want to complete

00:24:14.352 --> 00:24:15.921 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
what we've started with

00:24:15.987 --> 00:24:17.622 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
that Life Center there

00:24:17.689 --> 00:24:19.391 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
in Southeast Asia, because
