<i>Tim Timberlake was forced</i>

00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:15.048 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
<i>of losing his father</i>
<i>when he was 18.</i>

00:00:15.115 --> 00:00:18.151 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
&gt;&gt; Surely, God could
have done something!

00:00:18.218 --> 00:00:20.320 align:start line:10% position:28% size:45%
At that particular
stage in life,

00:00:20.387 --> 00:00:22.989 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
my faith wasn't built
from my belief,

00:00:23.056 --> 00:00:25.258 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
it was built off
the backs of my parents.

00:00:25.325 --> 00:00:28.128 align:start line:10% position:20% size:60%
So I ran from God.
I was so angry with God.

00:00:28.194 --> 00:00:31.030 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
I wanted God
to be angry with me.

00:00:31.097 --> 00:00:33.366 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
That road was bumpy.
It was long.

00:00:33.433 --> 00:00:36.035 align:center line:10% position:50% size:43%
It was
an uphill battle.

RANDY: Welcome to <i>Life Today!</i>

00:00:55.622 --> 00:00:56.623 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm Randy Robison.

00:00:56.689 --> 00:00:57.924 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
How are you doing?

00:00:57.991 --> 00:00:58.992 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
I mean, really,

00:00:59.058 --> 00:01:00.226 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
how are you doing today?

00:01:00.293 --> 00:01:01.294 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Well, my co-host,

00:01:01.361 --> 00:01:02.529 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
Tammy Trent is with me.

00:01:02.595 --> 00:01:03.797 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
How are you doing, Tammy?

00:01:03.863 --> 00:01:04.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
TAMMY: I was hoping

00:01:04.931 --> 00:01:05.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you would ask me.

00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:07.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I'm doing fantastic today.

00:01:07.066 --> 00:01:08.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: Could you be better?

00:01:08.334 --> 00:01:09.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
TAMMY: I can always

00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:10.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
be better.

00:01:10.470 --> 00:01:11.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: Can't we always

00:01:11.538 --> 00:01:12.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
be better?

00:01:12.605 --> 00:01:13.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But, sometimes that road

00:01:13.673 --> 00:01:16.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to better is a little bumpy.

00:01:16.776 --> 00:01:18.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That is actually the title

00:01:18.478 --> 00:01:19.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of a book that is out now

00:01:19.813 --> 00:01:21.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
called, <i>The Bumpy Road</i>

00:01:21.181 --> 00:01:22.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
<i>to Better.</i>

00:01:22.849 --> 00:01:23.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It's written by

00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:25.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Tim Timberlake,

00:01:25.084 --> 00:01:26.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
who is the pastor

00:01:26.152 --> 00:01:27.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of Celebration Church down

00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:28.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:29.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He joins us to tell us

00:01:29.389 --> 00:01:31.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a little about his bumpy road

00:01:31.357 --> 00:01:32.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and how he got to better.

00:01:32.425 --> 00:01:33.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I think it's going

00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:34.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to encourage you.

00:01:34.527 --> 00:01:35.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Welcome to the program!

00:01:35.595 --> 00:01:36.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Man, good to have you.

00:01:36.663 --> 00:01:37.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
TIM: What an honor

00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:38.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and a privilege it is.

00:01:38.798 --> 00:01:39.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
RANDY: How are you

00:01:39.866 --> 00:01:40.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
doing today?

00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:41.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
TIM: I'm doing pretty good

00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:43.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
today.

00:01:43.069 --> 00:01:44.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It is a beautiful day

00:01:44.137 --> 00:01:45.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to be alive. It is!

00:01:45.205 --> 00:01:46.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
RANDY: Jump into this

00:01:46.272 --> 00:01:47.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
wherever you want because

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:48.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I really want people to hear

00:01:48.541 --> 00:01:49.742 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
what God's done in your life.

00:01:49.809 --> 00:01:51.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Because it's encouraging.

00:01:52.045 --> 00:01:54.848 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
TIM: Yeah, I wrote this book

00:01:54.914 --> 00:01:56.616 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
in the middle of one of

00:01:56.683 --> 00:01:59.219 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
the greatest storms and bumps

00:01:59.285 --> 00:02:01.087 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that I've encountered.

00:02:01.154 --> 00:02:02.622 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I've been leading 21 years.

00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:03.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I've never led

00:02:03.723 --> 00:02:05.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
without great pain.

00:02:05.325 --> 00:02:06.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But God just had me

00:02:06.559 --> 00:02:07.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to really steward

00:02:07.827 --> 00:02:09.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
this season of pain

00:02:09.095 --> 00:02:10.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and hardship with the pen

00:02:10.196 --> 00:02:11.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and pad beside my bed

00:02:11.831 --> 00:02:13.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
about three years ago.

00:02:13.466 --> 00:02:14.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Just started to write down

00:02:14.534 --> 00:02:16.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
some things.

00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:17.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
The scriptures and the word

00:02:18.037 --> 00:02:19.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and his presence

00:02:19.138 --> 00:02:20.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
began to bless me.

00:02:20.507 --> 00:02:22.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
What he began to unpack to me

00:02:22.408 --> 00:02:24.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in that season, I really felt

00:02:24.244 --> 00:02:25.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
like it would bless others.

00:02:25.612 --> 00:02:26.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So I just started to kind of

00:02:26.846 --> 00:02:28.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
journal and write and

00:02:28.414 --> 00:02:31.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
put together some thoughts.

00:02:31.551 --> 00:02:32.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
In seasons of pain,

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:34.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we have two options.

00:02:34.487 --> 00:02:36.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We could try to avoid it,

00:02:36.322 --> 00:02:37.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or we could try to look

00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:39.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for Jesus in it.

00:02:39.359 --> 00:02:40.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I've just made my mind up

00:02:40.627 --> 00:02:41.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that I'm not going

00:02:41.694 --> 00:02:43.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to allow pain to leave

00:02:43.630 --> 00:02:45.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
my life without teaching me

00:02:45.198 --> 00:02:46.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and propelling me

00:02:46.699 --> 00:02:47.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
into the various seasons

00:02:47.967 --> 00:02:49.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that God desires for me

00:02:49.602 --> 00:02:50.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to walk into.

00:02:51.037 --> 00:02:52.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And so, that book was birthed

00:02:52.305 --> 00:02:53.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
out of that moment of pain.

00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:55.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I would like to sit here

00:02:55.275 --> 00:02:56.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and say, now, on the

00:02:56.442 --> 00:02:57.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
other side of that pain,

00:02:58.011 --> 00:03:00.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I can, with joy and happiness

00:03:01.047 --> 00:03:02.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
share more about it.

00:03:02.348 --> 00:03:04.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But I'm still in that season,

00:03:04.117 --> 00:03:06.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
even though in that season

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:07.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the grace of Jesus has been

00:03:07.854 --> 00:03:10.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so sufficient, so evident,

00:03:10.890 --> 00:03:13.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
so sustaining.

00:03:13.326 --> 00:03:15.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Honestly speaking, I believe

00:03:15.828 --> 00:03:18.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that it connects all of us

00:03:18.364 --> 00:03:19.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to the heart of the Father.

00:03:20.033 --> 00:03:22.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
There's four things

00:03:22.068 --> 00:03:23.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that I believe really

00:03:23.369 --> 00:03:24.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
connect us as humanity.

00:03:24.804 --> 00:03:26.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The first one is sports.

00:03:26.172 --> 00:03:27.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
We're just talking about that.

00:03:27.774 --> 00:03:30.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
No matter what your team is,

00:03:30.276 --> 00:03:31.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
when the Olympics

00:03:32.011 --> 00:03:33.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
comes around,

00:03:33.346 --> 00:03:34.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what country you're from,

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:35.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what country you represent,

00:03:35.648 --> 00:03:36.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
there's always some

00:03:36.649 --> 00:03:37.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
standout athletes that

00:03:37.817 --> 00:03:39.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
really raise the bar

00:03:39.218 --> 00:03:40.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and really are illuminated

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:41.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and highlighted

00:03:41.621 --> 00:03:42.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
above country lines.

00:03:43.022 --> 00:03:44.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
People begin to celebrate

00:03:44.157 --> 00:03:45.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that and cheer for them.

00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:47.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It doesn't matter what

00:03:47.193 --> 00:03:48.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
language you speak,

00:03:48.428 --> 00:03:49.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we can all come around

00:03:49.629 --> 00:03:50.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
good sporting events.

00:03:50.697 --> 00:03:52.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Another one is food.

00:03:52.131 --> 00:03:53.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It doesn't matter what

00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
language you speak, good food

00:03:54.634 --> 00:03:57.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
speaks to all of us.

00:03:58.037 --> 00:03:59.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And then there's music.

00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.642 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Music just, you know,

00:04:02.709 --> 00:04:06.646 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
goes beyond those zip codes

00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:07.981 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
and country codes

00:04:08.047 --> 00:04:09.349 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and language barriers.

00:04:09.415 --> 00:04:10.850 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Then there's pain.

00:04:10.917 --> 00:04:14.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Pain connects us as humanity.

00:04:14.287 --> 00:04:15.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The right amount of pain

00:04:15.922 --> 00:04:17.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
will bring you to a place

00:04:17.256 --> 00:04:18.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
where you're searching for

00:04:18.391 --> 00:04:20.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a solution and an answer.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So my prayer is that

00:04:22.328 --> 00:04:24.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
as people navigate this life,

00:04:24.631 --> 00:04:26.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we find Jesus through it.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Although this road is bumpy,

00:04:28.868 --> 00:04:30.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
it does lead us to better.

00:04:30.837 --> 00:04:31.838 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: What are some of the

00:04:31.904 --> 00:04:33.339 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
things that you do go into,

00:04:33.406 --> 00:04:34.774 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
just so people have an idea

00:04:34.841 --> 00:04:35.975 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
of the things

00:04:36.042 --> 00:04:37.176 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
you're dealing with?

00:04:37.243 --> 00:04:38.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
TIM: So my father

00:04:39.012 --> 00:04:40.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
transitioned from this life

00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:42.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to heaven the day after

00:04:42.915 --> 00:04:44.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
my 18th birthday.

00:04:44.617 --> 00:04:45.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He had a very hard battle

00:04:45.985 --> 00:04:48.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
with cancer for five years.

00:04:48.121 --> 00:04:49.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
He was diagnosed

00:04:49.355 --> 00:04:50.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
when I was 12.

00:04:50.790 --> 00:04:51.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
They gave him

00:04:52.058 --> 00:04:53.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
two weeks to live.

00:04:53.359 --> 00:04:54.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They offered him

00:04:54.527 --> 00:04:55.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
an experimental surgery

00:04:55.728 --> 00:04:56.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
where they cut him

00:04:56.796 --> 00:04:57.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from the back of one ear,

00:04:57.964 --> 00:04:59.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
opened up his entire throat,

00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:00.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and left an incision

00:05:00.933 --> 00:05:02.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
on the back of the other ear.

00:05:02.268 --> 00:05:03.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Removed a tumor from

00:05:03.369 --> 00:05:04.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
his throat the size

00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:05.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of a chipmunk.

00:05:05.872 --> 00:05:06.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But when they did that,

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
they had to remove a quarter

00:05:08.174 --> 00:05:09.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of his tongue, because

00:05:09.475 --> 00:05:10.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the cancer was wrapped

00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:11.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
around his tongue

00:05:11.744 --> 00:05:12.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and his esophagus.

00:05:12.812 --> 00:05:14.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So he was no longer able

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to eat, drink, or swallow,

00:05:15.882 --> 00:05:17.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and was fed through a g-tube

00:05:17.817 --> 00:05:19.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
for the remainder of his life.

00:05:19.852 --> 00:05:21.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So at that point,

00:05:21.087 --> 00:05:22.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I got very angry with God.

00:05:23.056 --> 00:05:24.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
My father was my hero,

00:05:24.824 --> 00:05:26.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and I just never saw him

00:05:26.159 --> 00:05:27.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
do anything that was contrary

00:05:27.727 --> 00:05:31.197 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to his faith in Jesus.

00:05:31.264 --> 00:05:32.632 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Even in fighting, even in

00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:34.133 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
battling for his life,

00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:35.334 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
he remained hopeful,

00:05:35.401 --> 00:05:37.170 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
he remained faithful,

00:05:37.236 --> 00:05:38.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and he would always remind me

00:05:38.404 --> 00:05:39.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of the back end

00:05:39.806 --> 00:05:41.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of Hebrews chapter 11.

00:05:41.908 --> 00:05:43.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
As a pastor, we always like

00:05:43.076 --> 00:05:44.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to talk about

00:05:44.177 --> 00:05:45.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the Hall of Faith,

00:05:45.378 --> 00:05:46.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the front half of Hebrews

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:47.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
chapter 11, now faith

00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:48.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is the substance

00:05:48.848 --> 00:05:49.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of things hoped for.

00:05:49.849 --> 00:05:50.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But we don't often talk about

00:05:50.983 --> 00:05:52.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the back end where it says

00:05:52.318 --> 00:05:53.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
they died in faith

00:05:53.753 --> 00:05:54.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
not seeing the things

00:05:54.921 --> 00:05:56.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
they believed on this side,

00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:58.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but receiving those things

00:05:58.257 --> 00:05:59.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on the other side.

00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:00.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So he would always

00:06:00.827 --> 00:06:01.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
remind me of that.

00:06:01.961 --> 00:06:03.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But it didn't stop me

00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:04.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from being angry with God

00:06:04.297 --> 00:06:05.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because I felt like man,

00:06:05.431 --> 00:06:06.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God could do something.

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:07.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Surely, God could

00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:09.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
have done something.

00:06:09.502 --> 00:06:10.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
At that particular

00:06:10.603 --> 00:06:11.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
stage of life,

00:06:12.004 --> 00:06:13.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my faith wasn't built

00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:14.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
from my belief, it was built

00:06:14.574 --> 00:06:16.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
off the backs of my parents.

00:06:16.275 --> 00:06:17.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And so I ran from God.

00:06:17.877 --> 00:06:19.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was so angry with God,

00:06:19.178 --> 00:06:20.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I wanted God

00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:22.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be angry with me.

00:06:22.248 --> 00:06:23.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
That road was bumpy.

00:06:23.449 --> 00:06:24.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It was long.

00:06:24.517 --> 00:06:27.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It was an uphill battle.

00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:28.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
No matter how far I tried

00:06:28.421 --> 00:06:30.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to run, it was like God had

00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:31.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a hook in my mouth and

00:06:31.457 --> 00:06:33.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
he kept reeling me back in,

00:06:33.192 --> 00:06:34.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and reeling me back in.

00:06:34.861 --> 00:06:36.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I remember going off

00:06:36.362 --> 00:06:39.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to college after my dad died,

00:06:39.332 --> 00:06:40.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and I was sitting

00:06:40.666 --> 00:06:42.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in my apartment

00:06:42.602 --> 00:06:44.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I fell asleep,

00:06:44.137 --> 00:06:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
thought that I had woke up.

00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
When I did I was standing

00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:48.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on this stage, and it was

00:06:48.941 --> 00:06:50.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a sea full of people.

00:06:50.743 --> 00:06:52.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I looked down at my hands

00:06:52.145 --> 00:06:53.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and there was blood

00:06:53.246 --> 00:06:54.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
smudged on my hands.

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It was the first time

00:06:55.581 --> 00:06:57.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I heard the voice of God.

00:06:57.116 --> 00:06:58.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The voice of God said,

00:06:58.351 --> 00:06:59.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"The longer you run from

00:06:59.852 --> 00:07:01.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the people I've called you

00:07:01.154 --> 00:07:02.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to influence, their blood

00:07:03.022 --> 00:07:04.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
will be held to your account."

00:07:04.724 --> 00:07:05.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I woke up scared

00:07:05.825 --> 00:07:07.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
out of my mind.

00:07:07.393 --> 00:07:08.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I called my mom at 3:00

00:07:08.394 --> 00:07:09.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the morning and explained

00:07:09.562 --> 00:07:10.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to her what was going on,

00:07:10.630 --> 00:07:11.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
expecting some sympathy,

00:07:11.798 --> 00:07:12.899 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
expecting, Oh baby,

00:07:12.965 --> 00:07:13.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I'm so sorry.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
What in the world?

00:07:15.334 --> 00:07:16.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I explained to her the dream

00:07:16.469 --> 00:07:17.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and she started

00:07:17.503 --> 00:07:18.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to laugh hysterically,

00:07:18.905 --> 00:07:20.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and it confused me.

00:07:20.606 --> 00:07:21.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
She laughed so hard

00:07:21.841 --> 00:07:23.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
she couldn't catch her breath.

00:07:23.075 --> 00:07:24.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
By the time she caught

00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:25.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
her breath, she said,

00:07:25.511 --> 00:07:26.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"That's the exact dream

00:07:26.646 --> 00:07:28.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
your father had when God

00:07:28.114 --> 00:07:30.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
called him into ministry."

00:07:30.349 --> 00:07:31.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I ended up leaving

00:07:31.551 --> 00:07:32.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the university that

00:07:32.618 --> 00:07:33.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was at that week,

00:07:33.686 --> 00:07:34.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
transferred to Bible College

00:07:34.921 --> 00:07:36.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in Detroit, Michigan,

00:07:36.823 --> 00:07:38.124 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and finished up there.

00:07:38.191 --> 00:07:39.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Moved back to North Carolina,

00:07:39.392 --> 00:07:41.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
started pastoring, and,

00:07:41.627 --> 00:07:43.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
yeah, that was 21 years ago.

00:07:43.429 --> 00:07:44.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
That was the beginning

00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:46.365 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of a better road.

00:07:46.432 --> 00:07:47.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But even yet, and still,

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it's still bumpy. Yeah.

00:07:49.869 --> 00:07:51.037 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: Oh, my goodness!

00:07:51.103 --> 00:07:52.071 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
How do we stay grounded?

00:07:52.138 --> 00:07:53.940 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
How did you stay grounded

00:07:54.006 --> 00:07:55.641 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
in faith and in hope,

00:07:55.708 --> 00:07:57.543 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
especially in setbacks?

00:07:57.610 --> 00:07:58.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
How do people stay grounded

00:07:58.744 --> 00:07:59.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in faith and hope

00:07:59.912 --> 00:08:00.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in those times?

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:02.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TIM: Yeah, I think one of

00:08:02.215 --> 00:08:03.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the greatest misconceptions

00:08:03.716 --> 00:08:06.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
for those that follow Jesus

00:08:06.686 --> 00:08:08.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and are disciples of Jesus

00:08:08.087 --> 00:08:09.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is to believe

00:08:09.322 --> 00:08:10.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
one decision grounds us

00:08:10.489 --> 00:08:11.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
for the rest of our lives.

00:08:11.691 --> 00:08:12.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It has to be

00:08:12.792 --> 00:08:14.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a daily grounding.

00:08:14.093 --> 00:08:17.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I think truth grounds us

00:08:17.096 --> 00:08:18.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
in hope.

00:08:18.764 --> 00:08:19.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
One of the things that I have

00:08:19.832 --> 00:08:21.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to be very truthful with God

00:08:21.534 --> 00:08:22.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is my daily struggles,

00:08:22.835 --> 00:08:25.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
my doubts, even yet and still.

00:08:25.304 --> 00:08:26.405 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It's not that I doubt

00:08:26.472 --> 00:08:27.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God's existence, it's not

00:08:27.506 --> 00:08:28.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that I doubt God's goodness,

00:08:29.041 --> 00:08:30.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
sometimes I do doubt,

00:08:30.376 --> 00:08:33.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
God, can you do it for me?

00:08:33.246 --> 00:08:34.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
If things don't go the way

00:08:34.647 --> 00:08:36.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I expected or anticipated,

00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:37.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I often ask, okay, God,

00:08:37.884 --> 00:08:39.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
why did this happen to me?

00:08:39.752 --> 00:08:41.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Instead of asking God why

00:08:41.787 --> 00:08:43.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
or instead of asking God,

00:08:43.356 --> 00:08:44.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
can you, I just have

00:08:44.790 --> 00:08:46.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to trust that he is able.

00:08:47.026 --> 00:08:48.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So I take myself back

00:08:48.294 --> 00:08:49.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to Ephesians chapter three,

00:08:49.495 --> 00:08:51.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
verse 20 on a daily basis:

00:08:51.197 --> 00:08:53.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now unto him that is able

00:08:53.099 --> 00:08:55.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to do exceeding and abundantly

00:08:55.268 --> 00:08:56.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
above all that

00:08:56.702 --> 00:08:59.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we could ask or think.

00:08:59.071 --> 00:09:00.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Because there's things

00:09:00.239 --> 00:09:01.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that God desires for us

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that we can't even think.

00:09:02.875 --> 00:09:03.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
There's things that

00:09:03.943 --> 00:09:04.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God desires for us that

00:09:05.044 --> 00:09:06.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we can't even fathom

00:09:06.145 --> 00:09:07.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and process.

00:09:07.346 --> 00:09:08.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So I have to relinquish

00:09:08.514 --> 00:09:09.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and turn over my expectations

00:09:09.882 --> 00:09:11.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to him so that

00:09:11.117 --> 00:09:12.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
he can exceed them.

00:09:12.718 --> 00:09:14.687 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
And, I learned very quickly,

00:09:14.754 --> 00:09:15.922 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
God does not live up

00:09:15.988 --> 00:09:17.723 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
to my expectations,

00:09:17.790 --> 00:09:18.824 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
but he always

00:09:18.891 --> 00:09:20.559 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
lives up to his word.

00:09:20.626 --> 00:09:21.894 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
So when I remember that,

00:09:21.961 --> 00:09:22.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it grounds me, it anchors

00:09:23.029 --> 00:09:24.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
my faith, and it reminds me

00:09:24.931 --> 00:09:26.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that his plans for me

00:09:26.332 --> 00:09:27.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
are better than my plans.

00:09:28.034 --> 00:09:29.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: So you're expressing

00:09:29.268 --> 00:09:31.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
some doubt here,

00:09:31.304 --> 00:09:32.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
some questions as a pastor.

00:09:32.939 --> 00:09:34.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I mean, I'm not sure

00:09:34.073 --> 00:09:35.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I'm comfortable with that.

00:09:35.508 --> 00:09:36.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
My pastor's got to

00:09:36.609 --> 00:09:38.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
have it all together.

00:09:38.277 --> 00:09:40.846 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
But you talk about hard

00:09:40.913 --> 00:09:44.050 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
confessions in the book.

00:09:44.116 --> 00:09:45.952 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
And, we confess our sins

00:09:46.018 --> 00:09:47.987 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
to God for forgiveness,

00:09:48.054 --> 00:09:50.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and he's faithful to forgive.

00:09:50.957 --> 00:09:52.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But Scripture tells us

00:09:52.425 --> 00:09:53.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to confess our sins

00:09:53.592 --> 00:09:54.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to each other for

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:57.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
a completely different reason.

00:09:57.430 --> 00:09:59.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Why has God set this up

00:09:59.298 --> 00:10:01.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so that I need some people

00:10:01.167 --> 00:10:02.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I don't always like

00:10:02.535 --> 00:10:04.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
being around, fallible people,

00:10:04.503 --> 00:10:05.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I have to admit my own stuff.

00:10:05.771 --> 00:10:07.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What's this community thing

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:08.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that you see?

00:10:08.374 --> 00:10:09.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
TIM: Yeah, I think

00:10:09.642 --> 00:10:10.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it's important for us

00:10:10.776 --> 00:10:11.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to stay rooted

00:10:11.978 --> 00:10:13.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and grounded in community.

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:15.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
One of my favorite passages

00:10:15.448 --> 00:10:16.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of Scripture teaches us

00:10:16.849 --> 00:10:18.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that we overcome by

00:10:18.718 --> 00:10:19.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the blood of the Lamb and

00:10:19.852 --> 00:10:22.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
by the words of our testimony.

00:10:22.588 --> 00:10:25.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
That's encouraging to others.

00:10:25.257 --> 00:10:26.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's encouraging to me.

00:10:26.726 --> 00:10:28.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It builds my faith to know,

00:10:28.094 --> 00:10:29.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if God can do it for you,

00:10:29.762 --> 00:10:31.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if God can do it for you,

00:10:31.597 --> 00:10:34.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
then he can do it for me also.

00:10:34.233 --> 00:10:35.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So I think that fellowship,

00:10:35.868 --> 00:10:37.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that community,

00:10:37.403 --> 00:10:38.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
those testimonies really

00:10:38.704 --> 00:10:40.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
helps to encourage us

00:10:40.239 --> 00:10:41.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to build our hope,

00:10:41.507 --> 00:10:42.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to build our faith,

00:10:42.742 --> 00:10:44.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to anchor that trust deeper

00:10:44.076 --> 00:10:45.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the hope of Jesus Christ,

00:10:45.678 --> 00:10:46.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and really coming to

00:10:46.946 --> 00:10:47.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the realization that

00:10:48.047 --> 00:10:49.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
if Jesus can't do it,

00:10:49.515 --> 00:10:51.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
then it won't get done.

00:10:51.117 --> 00:10:52.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Sometimes, it takes us

00:10:52.351 --> 00:10:53.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
kind of going around the room,

00:10:54.020 --> 00:10:55.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
hearing each other's stories

00:10:55.554 --> 00:10:57.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and testimonies to know,

00:10:57.390 --> 00:10:58.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
okay, God has brought them

00:10:58.657 --> 00:11:00.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
out of a difficult season.

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:01.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He's healed their heart,

00:11:01.927 --> 00:11:02.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He's put those broken pieces

00:11:03.062 --> 00:11:04.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
back together again,

00:11:04.597 --> 00:11:05.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
He's given me a perspective

00:11:06.032 --> 00:11:07.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of what a Heavenly Father is,

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because my earthly father

00:11:08.801 --> 00:11:09.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is no longer here.

00:11:10.002 --> 00:11:11.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
If he can do those things

00:11:11.137 --> 00:11:12.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for me, He can do it

00:11:12.505 --> 00:11:13.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
for other people as well.

00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:14.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: And hearing those

00:11:14.907 --> 00:11:16.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
stories, like our audience

00:11:16.108 --> 00:11:17.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is hearing your story now,

00:11:17.476 --> 00:11:18.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I mean, isn't there

00:11:18.611 --> 00:11:19.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a freedom to say,

00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:20.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you know what?

00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:22.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I'm struggling

00:11:22.148 --> 00:11:23.549 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in that area, too.

00:11:23.616 --> 00:11:25.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
TIM: I think it's freeing.

00:11:25.418 --> 00:11:27.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It's authentic.

00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I was talking with a friend

00:11:28.888 --> 00:11:31.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
who created a social media

00:11:31.223 --> 00:11:32.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
platform, and he was

00:11:32.458 --> 00:11:33.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
telling me why

00:11:33.826 --> 00:11:35.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
his social media platform

00:11:35.127 --> 00:11:36.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
was so successful.

00:11:36.362 --> 00:11:37.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
He said something so profound

00:11:37.563 --> 00:11:38.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to me it helped to shape

00:11:38.764 --> 00:11:40.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
my leadership 7 years ago.

00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:41.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, the first wave

00:11:42.034 --> 00:11:44.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of platforms were beneficial

00:11:44.270 --> 00:11:46.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and did so well because

00:11:46.739 --> 00:11:48.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they created platforms

00:11:48.707 --> 00:11:50.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for people who wanted

00:11:50.309 --> 00:11:53.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to portray as influencers.

00:11:53.612 --> 00:11:55.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So people wanted to follow

00:11:55.147 --> 00:11:56.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
who they thought

00:11:56.315 --> 00:11:57.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
were influential.

00:11:57.450 --> 00:11:58.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said the second wave

00:11:58.617 --> 00:12:00.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of social media platforms

00:12:00.352 --> 00:12:01.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
will be successful because

00:12:01.887 --> 00:12:03.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it gives people an opportunity

00:12:03.856 --> 00:12:05.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to see themselves

00:12:05.257 --> 00:12:07.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
through their authenticity.

00:12:07.426 --> 00:12:08.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
As we go through

00:12:08.527 --> 00:12:10.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the various stages of life,

00:12:10.296 --> 00:12:11.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I think we do a disservice

00:12:11.864 --> 00:12:13.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to the people around us,

00:12:13.232 --> 00:12:14.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to the people that we lead,

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to the people that are

00:12:16.769 --> 00:12:17.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
on this journey with us

00:12:18.003 --> 00:12:19.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
when we're not authentic

00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:21.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to who God has made us.

00:12:21.507 --> 00:12:22.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But also, authentic to

00:12:22.875 --> 00:12:24.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the various tests and trials

00:12:24.577 --> 00:12:26.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that we are navigating with

00:12:26.479 --> 00:12:28.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the help of Jesus Christ.

00:12:28.547 --> 00:12:29.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So I don't believe that

00:12:29.748 --> 00:12:30.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you should speak

00:12:30.883 --> 00:12:33.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
or process from a wound.

00:12:33.385 --> 00:12:34.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I believe you should speak

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:35.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in process from a scar.

00:12:36.055 --> 00:12:37.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
If I can show you,

00:12:37.256 --> 00:12:38.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
this is what God has healed,

00:12:38.624 --> 00:12:40.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
then it becomes a testimony

00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that what tried to kill me

00:12:41.327 --> 00:12:42.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
did not succeed.

00:12:42.428 --> 00:12:43.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
TAMMY: Amen!

00:12:43.696 --> 00:12:45.431 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
What do you think your dad

00:12:45.498 --> 00:12:48.501 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
would think today

00:12:48.567 --> 00:12:49.735 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
if he looked on the other side

00:12:49.802 --> 00:12:51.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of that veil,

00:12:51.303 --> 00:12:52.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
looked at your life.

00:12:52.438 --> 00:12:53.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
What do you think he would

00:12:53.606 --> 00:12:55.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
say to you right now, Son --

00:12:55.908 --> 00:12:57.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
TIM: That's a great question.

00:12:57.209 --> 00:12:58.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I was processing this

00:12:58.310 --> 00:13:00.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
last week with my son and

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:03.349 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
coming to the understanding

00:13:03.415 --> 00:13:06.085 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that a father to a son

00:13:06.152 --> 00:13:09.054 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
is probably the only male

00:13:09.121 --> 00:13:10.556 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
in that boy's life

00:13:10.623 --> 00:13:12.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or daughter's life that

00:13:12.525 --> 00:13:14.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
wants him to do better

00:13:14.226 --> 00:13:17.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
than he does. You know?

00:13:17.463 --> 00:13:19.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, after my father died,

00:13:20.065 --> 00:13:21.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it was a long time before

00:13:21.534 --> 00:13:23.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I heard, "I'm proud of you"

00:13:23.869 --> 00:13:25.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
from a man.

00:13:25.237 --> 00:13:26.405 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It was a long time before

00:13:26.472 --> 00:13:29.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I heard, "Great job!"

00:13:29.842 --> 00:13:33.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I think that if he were

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to tell me something

00:13:34.547 --> 00:13:35.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
or was here, I hope

00:13:35.781 --> 00:13:36.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that it would be,

00:13:36.849 --> 00:13:37.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"I'm proud of you."

00:13:37.917 --> 00:13:39.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: I have no doubt,

00:13:39.318 --> 00:13:40.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Pastor Tim.

00:13:40.386 --> 00:13:41.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I have no doubt.

00:13:41.487 --> 00:13:42.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Think about gratitude.

00:13:42.555 --> 00:13:43.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Your life shows

00:13:43.656 --> 00:13:45.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
so much gratitude.

00:13:45.524 --> 00:13:46.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I've taken time to get

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:48.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to know you on all the

00:13:48.794 --> 00:13:53.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
socials, on the Insta webs.

00:13:53.165 --> 00:13:54.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I saw a sermon that

00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:55.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
you were preaching.

00:13:55.601 --> 00:13:56.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I wrote it down because

00:13:56.669 --> 00:13:57.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it set me on fire

00:13:57.770 --> 00:13:59.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in my study.

00:13:59.371 --> 00:14:00.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I thought about your dad

00:14:00.573 --> 00:14:02.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and what he must have thought

00:14:02.141 --> 00:14:03.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
if Jesus ever gives him

00:14:03.342 --> 00:14:04.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a moment to look over

00:14:04.543 --> 00:14:06.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and go, wow, look at my boy!

00:14:07.012 --> 00:14:09.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Look at what God did!

00:14:09.348 --> 00:14:11.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It was powerful.

00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:12.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I don't know if

00:14:12.451 --> 00:14:13.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you'll remember this day,

00:14:13.552 --> 00:14:14.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
it was August 2025,

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
so it wasn't that long ago,

00:14:16.689 --> 00:14:18.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
"We have to stop mixing things

00:14:18.257 --> 00:14:19.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in our relationship

00:14:19.291 --> 00:14:20.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
with Jesus."

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Brother, you got

00:14:21.560 --> 00:14:22.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a little bit feistier.

00:14:22.728 --> 00:14:23.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And you said, "It is not

00:14:23.862 --> 00:14:24.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Jesus and --

00:14:24.964 --> 00:14:26.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it is just Jesus.

00:14:26.165 --> 00:14:27.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It is not Jesus but --

00:14:27.533 --> 00:14:29.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it is just Jesus.

00:14:29.134 --> 00:14:31.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And if Jesus is not enough,

00:14:31.270 --> 00:14:32.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you will never

00:14:32.338 --> 00:14:34.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
encounter enough.

00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It is Jesus.

00:14:35.574 --> 00:14:36.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He is the only way,

00:14:36.609 --> 00:14:38.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the truth and the life.

00:14:38.244 --> 00:14:39.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
There is no way to

00:14:39.345 --> 00:14:41.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the Father except by Jesus."

00:14:41.513 --> 00:14:43.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
When you're preaching

00:14:43.449 --> 00:14:44.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the Word of God,

00:14:44.650 --> 00:14:46.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you come alive.

00:14:46.318 --> 00:14:47.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I can only imagine that

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
your father is just

00:14:48.988 --> 00:14:50.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
very proud of you.

00:14:50.556 --> 00:14:51.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Beyond that saying,

00:14:51.790 --> 00:14:52.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Well done, my son,

00:14:52.825 --> 00:14:53.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
well done!

00:14:53.926 --> 00:14:54.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You stepped up in it.

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You took the call,

00:14:56.028 --> 00:14:57.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you stepped in.

00:14:57.096 --> 00:14:58.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So many of us even in

00:14:58.430 --> 00:14:59.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the waiting, even in

00:14:59.498 --> 00:15:00.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the bumpy roads,

00:15:00.566 --> 00:15:01.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we're so afraid to just

00:15:01.634 --> 00:15:02.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
step out in faith and

00:15:02.701 --> 00:15:04.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
let our faith and our hope

00:15:04.069 --> 00:15:05.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
collide and just say,

00:15:05.137 --> 00:15:06.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm in it, God,

00:15:06.205 --> 00:15:07.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm surrendering all.

00:15:07.273 --> 00:15:08.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
Send me.

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:09.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I'm all in.

00:15:09.408 --> 00:15:10.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You did that and I see it

00:15:11.043 --> 00:15:12.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in your life time

00:15:12.111 --> 00:15:13.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and time again

00:15:13.178 --> 00:15:14.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
as I've watched you online.

00:15:14.280 --> 00:15:15.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But there are some people

00:15:15.347 --> 00:15:16.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that struggle with

00:15:16.415 --> 00:15:17.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the gratitude because

00:15:17.449 --> 00:15:18.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of the grief.

00:15:18.550 --> 00:15:19.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And so, can you speak

00:15:19.718 --> 00:15:20.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to that for me?

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:21.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I've gone through

00:15:21.987 --> 00:15:23.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a tremendous amount of grief

00:15:23.289 --> 00:15:24.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
myself, but I have learned

00:15:24.890 --> 00:15:25.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to find gratitude

00:15:25.958 --> 00:15:27.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
even in the grief.

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I think that's changed

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my perspective of some of

00:15:29.895 --> 00:15:31.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the hard, bumpy roads

00:15:31.096 --> 00:15:32.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I've had to travel.

00:15:32.331 --> 00:15:33.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
TIM: Yeah, I think

00:15:33.465 --> 00:15:35.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
even in the grieving,

00:15:35.534 --> 00:15:38.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and even in the honesty,

00:15:38.437 --> 00:15:40.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
if we try to hide it,

00:15:40.372 --> 00:15:41.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
then we don't step

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:42.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
into the healing that

00:15:42.975 --> 00:15:44.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Jesus desires for us.

00:15:44.943 --> 00:15:46.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
As you speak, I'm reminded

00:15:46.245 --> 00:15:47.579 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
of the father who had the son

00:15:47.646 --> 00:15:49.381 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
that was being tormented,

00:15:49.448 --> 00:15:50.649 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and he took his son

00:15:50.716 --> 00:15:52.184 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to the disciples.

00:15:52.251 --> 00:15:53.485 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
The disciples could not heal

00:15:53.552 --> 00:15:55.754 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
him, and then he finds Jesus.

00:15:55.821 --> 00:15:57.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He takes his son to Jesus,

00:15:57.423 --> 00:15:58.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and he asked Jesus to heal

00:15:58.757 --> 00:16:00.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
his son, who has been

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
tormented by demon spirits.

00:16:02.761 --> 00:16:03.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Jesus asked the father,

00:16:04.029 --> 00:16:05.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
"Do you believe that

00:16:05.264 --> 00:16:06.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm able to do this?"

00:16:06.832 --> 00:16:08.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And the father says something

00:16:08.834 --> 00:16:11.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
so pure, so true.

00:16:11.103 --> 00:16:13.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I identify with it so much.

00:16:13.238 --> 00:16:15.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He says, "I believe,

00:16:15.140 --> 00:16:18.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but heal my unbelief."

00:16:18.077 --> 00:16:19.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I believe he said that

00:16:19.445 --> 00:16:22.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because it was him

00:16:23.015 --> 00:16:24.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who went in the fire

00:16:24.416 --> 00:16:26.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to go after his son.

00:16:26.352 --> 00:16:27.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So he's got burn marks

00:16:27.586 --> 00:16:28.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
on his arms.

00:16:28.754 --> 00:16:29.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It was him who went in

00:16:29.755 --> 00:16:30.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the water after his boy

00:16:31.023 --> 00:16:31.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
when the evil spirits

00:16:32.024 --> 00:16:33.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
was throwing his son

00:16:33.292 --> 00:16:34.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
into the water.

00:16:34.827 --> 00:16:35.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So he's had to fight with

00:16:35.928 --> 00:16:37.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the son out of the water

00:16:37.563 --> 00:16:38.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to pull him out.

00:16:38.664 --> 00:16:39.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So there's a portion of him

00:16:39.998 --> 00:16:41.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that does believe, but

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:43.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
there's also a portion of him

00:16:43.202 --> 00:16:44.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that's like, okay,

00:16:44.770 --> 00:16:47.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
can you do it just for me?

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So even in the grieving,

00:16:49.308 --> 00:16:51.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
even in the process of pain,

00:16:51.510 --> 00:16:52.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I would say walk it out

00:16:52.811 --> 00:16:54.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
hand-in-hand with Jesus

00:16:54.146 --> 00:16:55.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and understand that he's

00:16:55.381 --> 00:16:56.949 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
not intimidated by our pain.

00:16:57.015 --> 00:16:58.016 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
He's not intimidated

00:16:58.083 --> 00:16:59.318 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
by our honesty.

00:16:59.385 --> 00:17:00.586 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
He's not intimidated

00:17:00.652 --> 00:17:01.620 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
by our grieving.

00:17:01.687 --> 00:17:02.788 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
He welcomes those things

00:17:02.855 --> 00:17:04.990 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
because we belong to him.

00:17:05.057 --> 00:17:06.425 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
And in his hands,

00:17:06.492 --> 00:17:07.860 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he can do more with it

00:17:07.926 --> 00:17:09.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
than we ever could.

00:17:09.595 --> 00:17:11.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So, I love the fact

00:17:11.764 --> 00:17:13.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I don't have to sit

00:17:13.132 --> 00:17:15.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with my pain alone.

00:17:15.067 --> 00:17:16.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I love the fact that

00:17:16.068 --> 00:17:17.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't have to grieve alone.

00:17:17.636 --> 00:17:19.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He's right there with me,

00:17:19.071 --> 00:17:21.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and every step of the way,

00:17:21.106 --> 00:17:22.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he desires to exchange

00:17:22.941 --> 00:17:24.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what I am carrying for what

00:17:24.743 --> 00:17:27.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it is that he's carrying.

00:17:27.446 --> 00:17:28.380 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I had to come to the

00:17:28.447 --> 00:17:29.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
conclusion some years ago,

00:17:30.048 --> 00:17:31.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I can either cast my cares

00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:33.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or I can carry them,

00:17:33.752 --> 00:17:35.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but I cannot do both.

00:17:35.788 --> 00:17:37.456 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So I have to cast them

00:17:37.523 --> 00:17:39.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
every single day,

00:17:39.291 --> 00:17:40.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
no matter how heavy they are,

00:17:40.592 --> 00:17:41.860 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and no matter how important

00:17:41.927 --> 00:17:43.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I think they are,

00:17:43.195 --> 00:17:44.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I'm not built to carry them.

00:17:44.830 --> 00:17:45.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
He is.

00:17:46.064 --> 00:17:47.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And so I have to cast them.

00:17:47.699 --> 00:17:50.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
TAMMY: Is better right now,

00:17:50.102 --> 00:17:51.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Pastor Tim?

00:17:51.303 --> 00:17:54.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Or is it in the distance?

00:17:54.206 --> 00:17:55.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Or can we live

00:17:55.474 --> 00:17:56.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the better right now?

00:17:56.742 --> 00:17:57.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TIM: Yeah. I think better

00:17:57.876 --> 00:17:59.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is both here and now,

00:17:59.278 --> 00:18:01.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and later.

00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:02.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I think this is a journey

00:18:02.681 --> 00:18:03.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of discovering better

00:18:03.982 --> 00:18:05.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
every step of the way.

00:18:05.284 --> 00:18:06.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Sometimes, we have what I call

00:18:06.985 --> 00:18:09.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"destination addiction."

00:18:09.488 --> 00:18:10.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It's the mentality, I'll be

00:18:10.689 --> 00:18:12.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
happy when I get there.

00:18:12.458 --> 00:18:13.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I'll be happy

00:18:13.625 --> 00:18:14.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
when I have this,

00:18:15.027 --> 00:18:16.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
or when I get that,

00:18:16.462 --> 00:18:18.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
or when I get to this place.

00:18:18.664 --> 00:18:20.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We really devalue where

00:18:20.098 --> 00:18:21.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we are right here, right now.

00:18:21.834 --> 00:18:22.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But the reality is,

00:18:23.035 --> 00:18:24.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is I won't be happy there

00:18:24.470 --> 00:18:26.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
until I find joy here.

00:18:26.271 --> 00:18:27.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
When I find joy here,

00:18:27.739 --> 00:18:28.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God gives me a greater

00:18:28.841 --> 00:18:29.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
perspective to walk out

00:18:30.008 --> 00:18:31.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
this pathway to better,

00:18:31.944 --> 00:18:33.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and discover who he is

00:18:33.378 --> 00:18:34.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
every step of the way.

00:18:34.713 --> 00:18:35.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And so I believe better

00:18:35.948 --> 00:18:37.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is both here right now,

00:18:37.216 --> 00:18:38.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and better is now.

00:18:38.450 --> 00:18:39.451 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: That's all through

00:18:39.518 --> 00:18:40.752 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
scripture.

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:41.920 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
We think if this will

00:18:41.987 --> 00:18:42.955 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
just happen,

00:18:43.021 --> 00:18:44.156 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
if I can just get this

00:18:44.223 --> 00:18:45.190 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
then I would be better.

00:18:45.257 --> 00:18:46.425 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
God's going, hang on,

00:18:46.492 --> 00:18:47.459 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I want to make you better

00:18:47.526 --> 00:18:48.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
where you're at

00:18:48.627 --> 00:18:49.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
so that you're prepared

00:18:49.895 --> 00:18:51.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for what's ahead.

00:18:51.730 --> 00:18:53.465 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But a big part of that

00:18:53.532 --> 00:18:54.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is talking to someone,

00:18:54.633 --> 00:18:55.701 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
is praying with someone.

00:18:55.767 --> 00:18:56.802 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and maybe you're like,

00:18:56.869 --> 00:18:57.936 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I don't have anybody

00:18:58.003 --> 00:18:59.004 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
to pray with.

00:18:59.071 --> 00:19:00.072 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
We've got somebody

00:19:00.138 --> 00:19:01.807 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
to pray with you right now.

00:19:01.874 --> 00:19:02.975 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Call that telephone number

00:19:03.041 --> 00:19:04.409 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
right there; those are people

00:19:04.476 --> 00:19:05.544 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
who will just listen.

00:19:05.611 --> 00:19:07.479 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
They will speak to God

00:19:07.546 --> 00:19:08.647 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
on your behalf and ask him

00:19:08.714 --> 00:19:09.882 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
to work in your life

00:19:09.948 --> 00:19:11.016 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to make you better

00:19:11.083 --> 00:19:12.417 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
where you're at right now.

00:19:12.484 --> 00:19:13.619 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
It'll just be better

00:19:13.685 --> 00:19:14.753 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
if you got somebody there.

00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:16.154 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
So we want to provide that

00:19:16.221 --> 00:19:17.222 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
to you because

00:19:17.289 --> 00:19:18.490 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
we do care about you.

00:19:18.557 --> 00:19:20.192 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
We care about you.

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:21.793 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
God cares about you.

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:24.062 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
And we care about the mission

00:19:24.129 --> 00:19:26.365 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that he has given to us.

00:19:26.431 --> 00:19:28.367 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Right now, there is

00:19:28.433 --> 00:19:30.335 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
an opportunity.

00:19:30.402 --> 00:19:32.137 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
We know that there are people

00:19:32.204 --> 00:19:33.238 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
who have experienced

00:19:33.305 --> 00:19:34.840 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
some trauma.

00:19:34.907 --> 00:19:35.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
There are people

00:19:35.941 --> 00:19:37.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that have been walking

00:19:37.109 --> 00:19:39.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a really bumpy road,

00:19:39.678 --> 00:19:40.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and God has put us

00:19:40.946 --> 00:19:42.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in a position to make it

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
better for them.

00:19:43.749 --> 00:19:45.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But it only happens

00:19:45.450 --> 00:19:47.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
when you join us.

00:19:47.352 --> 00:19:49.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Take a look at this,

00:19:49.187 --> 00:19:50.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and then you'll understand

00:19:50.389 --> 00:19:52.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
how you can make things better

00:19:52.457 --> 00:19:54.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
for somebody today.

00:19:57.029 --> 00:19:59.598 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
<i>Children should be</i>
<i>protected, nurtured,</i>

00:19:59.665 --> 00:20:02.467 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
<i>and be able to live</i>

00:20:02.534 --> 00:20:04.469 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%

00:20:04.536 --> 00:20:06.505 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
<i>that shatters</i>
<i>that reality</i>

00:20:06.572 --> 00:20:08.507 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
<i>for literally</i>
<i>millions of children.</i>

00:20:08.574 --> 00:20:10.976 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
<i>It's called</i>
<i>"sex trafficking."</i>

00:20:11.043 --> 00:20:13.178 align:start line:58% position:20% size:58%
DAVID: These are kids
that are forced to work

00:20:13.245 --> 00:20:15.614 align:center line:58% position:50% size:53%
all sorts of hours
of the night and day.

00:20:15.681 --> 00:20:18.784 align:start line:53% position:20% size:60%
These are kids
that have been forced
to have sex with people.

00:20:18.850 --> 00:20:20.786 align:start line:85% position:25% size:50%
They're being abused

00:20:20.852 --> 00:20:22.788 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
and they're being
photographed

00:20:22.854 --> 00:20:25.223 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
doing things that no child
should ever have to do.

<i>To combat this evil force,</i>

00:20:27.392 --> 00:20:29.328 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
<i>Life Outreach has partnered</i>

00:20:29.394 --> 00:20:32.631 align:center line:74% position:50% size:58%
<i>who are committed</i>

00:20:36.735 --> 00:20:39.104 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
<i>Recently, Tammy Trent</i>

00:20:39.171 --> 00:20:41.974 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
<i>our beautiful Life Center</i>
<i>in Southeast Asia.</i>

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:43.976 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
<i>It is a safe haven</i>
<i>for children,</i>

00:20:44.042 --> 00:20:45.978 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
<i>many of whom</i>
<i>have suffered</i>

00:20:46.044 --> 00:20:47.980 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
<i>at the hands</i>
<i>of child predators.</i>

00:20:48.046 --> 00:20:50.816 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
<i>Our team had a chance</i>
<i>to play with the children</i>

00:20:50.882 --> 00:20:54.019 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
<i>and to join them</i>
<i>in their praise and worship.</i>

00:20:54.086 --> 00:20:56.455 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
<i>While at our Life Center,</i>
<i>John and Tammy learned</i>

00:20:56.521 --> 00:20:58.457 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
<i>how the healing process</i>
<i>begins for children</i>

00:20:58.523 --> 00:21:01.259 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
<i>who have suffered the horrors</i>

00:21:01.326 --> 00:21:03.261 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
JOHN: So, as you can see
over my shoulder,

00:21:03.328 --> 00:21:06.898 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Tammy is in a room with
a caregiver and a child.

00:21:06.965 --> 00:21:08.900 align:start line:79% position:30% size:38%
But this is not
just any room.

00:21:08.967 --> 00:21:10.902 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
This is a very special room
for children

00:21:10.969 --> 00:21:13.805 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
who have suffered the trauma
of child sex trafficking.

00:21:13.872 --> 00:21:16.742 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
These children are brought
into this safe place

00:21:16.808 --> 00:21:18.877 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
where they will be able
to tell their stories

00:21:18.944 --> 00:21:22.047 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
to a therapist
who has built trust

00:21:22.114 --> 00:21:24.616 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
over weeks
of periods of time.

00:21:24.683 --> 00:21:27.352 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
Those children's stories
will be able to be utilized

00:21:27.419 --> 00:21:31.323 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
to bring justice
inside of a trauma

00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:34.559 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
that no child
should ever have to face.

00:21:34.626 --> 00:21:37.229 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
Because of your generosity,
we've been able to build

00:21:37.295 --> 00:21:39.965 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
some of the most
state-of-the-art facilities

00:21:40.032 --> 00:21:43.335 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
that are tools

00:21:45.404 --> 00:21:47.506 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
to the heart of a child
who has suffered

00:21:47.572 --> 00:21:51.076 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
in a way that no human

RANDY: It's an amazing

00:22:09.928 --> 00:22:11.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
outreach, an amazing work,

00:22:11.396 --> 00:22:12.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and it's only possible

00:22:12.631 --> 00:22:13.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because of viewers like you.

00:22:13.865 --> 00:22:15.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
But, Tammy, I want to ask you,

00:22:15.534 --> 00:22:16.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what's it like to sit with

00:22:16.668 --> 00:22:17.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a child that you know

00:22:17.736 --> 00:22:20.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that has been so abused?

00:22:20.372 --> 00:22:22.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
TAMMY: Gosh, Randy, when

00:22:22.774 --> 00:22:24.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I watch these stories back,

00:22:24.309 --> 00:22:25.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of course, we said it,

00:22:25.610 --> 00:22:26.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
it takes me right back there.

00:22:26.878 --> 00:22:27.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I remember being in that room

00:22:27.979 --> 00:22:29.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with that little girl.

00:22:29.281 --> 00:22:30.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It is such an interesting

00:22:30.482 --> 00:22:31.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
emotional feeling that I get.

00:22:31.750 --> 00:22:33.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Almost sometimes of anger,

00:22:33.151 --> 00:22:34.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to be honest with you,

00:22:34.286 --> 00:22:35.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of just like,

00:22:35.387 --> 00:22:36.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who did this to you?

00:22:36.621 --> 00:22:37.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Who did this to you?

00:22:37.956 --> 00:22:38.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And you see the innocence

00:22:39.057 --> 00:22:40.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of this precious little girl

00:22:40.192 --> 00:22:41.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you saw in that room where

00:22:41.326 --> 00:22:42.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I just got to play with her

00:22:42.394 --> 00:22:43.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for the longest time,

00:22:43.428 --> 00:22:44.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and we had shells

00:22:44.496 --> 00:22:46.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and sand in that box.

00:22:46.398 --> 00:22:47.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But to see her coming back

00:22:47.833 --> 00:22:49.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to life again because of the

00:22:49.367 --> 00:22:50.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
atmosphere that she was in,

00:22:50.769 --> 00:22:52.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of healing, safety,

00:22:52.404 --> 00:22:54.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
protection, it's a hard place

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for me to be because

00:22:56.007 --> 00:22:57.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I cannot believe,

00:22:57.075 --> 00:22:58.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and I'm so upset

00:22:58.176 --> 00:22:59.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that they're even there.

00:22:59.644 --> 00:23:01.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But I know how effective

00:23:01.546 --> 00:23:02.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
this ministry is,

00:23:02.781 --> 00:23:03.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I know that it is

00:23:03.815 --> 00:23:04.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
turning things around.

00:23:04.816 --> 00:23:07.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
In that sense, I can sort of,

00:23:07.586 --> 00:23:09.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I'm carrying tension with me

00:23:09.287 --> 00:23:10.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
so I can feel the hope

00:23:10.956 --> 00:23:12.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I know it's real.

00:23:12.290 --> 00:23:13.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: The reality is,

00:23:13.525 --> 00:23:16.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we know who does this

00:23:16.094 --> 00:23:17.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to children, ultimately,

00:23:17.696 --> 00:23:18.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
on a spiritual level.

00:23:18.764 --> 00:23:19.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
This is straight out

00:23:19.865 --> 00:23:21.133 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of the pit of hell.

00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:23.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
My question is, who's going

00:23:23.435 --> 00:23:25.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to restore them?

00:23:25.604 --> 00:23:26.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We know the answer

00:23:26.805 --> 00:23:29.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is Jesus Christ.

00:23:29.341 --> 00:23:30.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But, it's interesting because

00:23:31.009 --> 00:23:32.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
God always sends his people

00:23:32.778 --> 00:23:35.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to do his work on this earth.

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.550 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
That's what this outreach is.

00:23:38.617 --> 00:23:39.818 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
For those that

00:23:39.885 --> 00:23:41.253 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
we can prevent them from

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.487 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
ever being in a position,

00:23:42.554 --> 00:23:43.722 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
like that little girl is,

00:23:43.789 --> 00:23:44.923 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
we want to reach them.

00:23:44.990 --> 00:23:46.024 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
For those that

00:23:46.091 --> 00:23:47.192 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
are in that situation,

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:48.360 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
we want to rescue them.

00:23:48.426 --> 00:23:49.594 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
And for those like

00:23:49.661 --> 00:23:50.929 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
this young girl,

00:23:50.996 --> 00:23:53.431 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that have been horribly,

00:23:53.498 --> 00:23:55.333 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
horribly traumatized,

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.336 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
we want to restore them.

00:23:58.403 --> 00:24:00.305 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
That is the work
