>> Well, because my dad
was such a force of chaos,
00:00:09.743 --> 00:00:11.911 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
he was an addict,
he was unpredictable,
00:00:11.978 --> 00:00:14.748 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
me and my mom became
each other's safe space.
00:00:14.814 --> 00:00:17.117 align:start line:63% position:25% size:50%
I became her refuge,
she became mine.
00:00:17.183 --> 00:00:19.953 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
And all of this to me
felt very, very normal
00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.122 align:center line:63% position:50% size:33%
but it's
out of order.
00:00:22.188 --> 00:00:24.791 align:start line:63% position:23% size:53%
And it wasn't exposed
to be out of order
00:00:24.858 --> 00:00:28.061 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
until there is a wife
in the equation.

Manny Arango explains how
God brings order

RANDY: Welcome to Life Today!
00:00:54.988 --> 00:00:55.989 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm Randy Robison.
00:00:56.055 --> 00:00:57.056 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Tammy, how are you?
00:00:57.123 --> 00:00:58.124 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
TAMMY: I'm good.
00:00:58.191 --> 00:00:59.192 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Very good today.
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:00.260 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Thanks for asking.
00:01:00.326 --> 00:01:01.327 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: How's the chaos
00:01:01.394 --> 00:01:02.395 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
in your life?
00:01:02.462 --> 00:01:03.463 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
TAMMY: Right now
00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:04.531 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
it's manageable.
00:01:04.597 --> 00:01:05.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
RANDY: It's manageable.
00:01:05.665 --> 00:01:07.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's what we tend to do.
00:01:07.066 --> 00:01:08.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
We tend to just
00:01:08.134 --> 00:01:09.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
kind of manage it.
00:01:09.202 --> 00:01:10.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because, let's face it,
00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:11.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
this world is a mess.
00:01:11.371 --> 00:01:12.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And sometimes that chaos
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:13.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
can creep into your life,
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:14.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and that's what we're going
00:01:14.641 --> 00:01:16.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to talk about today because
00:01:16.075 --> 00:01:17.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
if you're feeling things
00:01:17.644 --> 00:01:19.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
are out of control,
00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:21.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we have good news for you.
00:01:21.548 --> 00:01:23.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Our guest is Manny Arango.
00:01:23.116 --> 00:01:24.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He has a book called
00:01:24.384 --> 00:01:26.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Crushing Chaos.
00:01:26.886 --> 00:01:30.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
This one's deep.
00:01:30.356 --> 00:01:31.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: It is a deep one
00:01:31.724 --> 00:01:33.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
but it's so good.
00:01:33.126 --> 00:01:34.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And more than good,
00:01:34.294 --> 00:01:35.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it's really, really needed.
00:01:35.595 --> 00:01:36.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Because I feel like
00:01:36.696 --> 00:01:37.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it touches on something that
00:01:37.997 --> 00:01:39.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was kind of like,
00:01:39.098 --> 00:01:40.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
wow, mind blown.
00:01:40.633 --> 00:01:41.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Like, I really didn't think
00:01:41.768 --> 00:01:42.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about the chaos or anxiety
00:01:42.902 --> 00:01:44.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in my life, maybe
00:01:44.103 --> 00:01:46.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
being attached to this.
00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:47.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It's very good.
00:01:47.373 --> 00:01:48.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
RANDY: Well, let's get to it.
00:01:48.508 --> 00:01:49.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Manny, welcome to Life Today.
00:01:49.976 --> 00:01:50.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
MANNY: Hey, it's so good
00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:52.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to be back.
00:01:52.111 --> 00:01:53.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
RANDY: It's good to see you.
00:01:53.279 --> 00:01:54.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Ah, chaos.
00:01:54.347 --> 00:01:55.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Is this your observation
00:01:55.415 --> 00:01:56.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of the world,
00:01:56.483 --> 00:01:57.717 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
or is this your life?
00:01:57.784 --> 00:01:59.052 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
MANNY: Oh, it's my life.
00:01:59.118 --> 00:02:00.687 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I would say I was raised
00:02:00.753 --> 00:02:01.921 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
in chaos.
00:02:01.988 --> 00:02:03.022 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
My dad was incarcerated
00:02:03.089 --> 00:02:04.257 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
for 18 years.
00:02:04.324 --> 00:02:05.625 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
My mom had my older sister
00:02:05.692 --> 00:02:06.860 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
when she was 12,
00:02:06.926 --> 00:02:08.127 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
gave birth at 13.
00:02:08.194 --> 00:02:09.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So got pregnant at 12,
00:02:09.696 --> 00:02:10.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
gave birth at 13.
00:02:10.864 --> 00:02:11.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Got pregnant again at 14
00:02:12.031 --> 00:02:13.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with my older brother,
00:02:13.299 --> 00:02:14.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
gave birth at 15.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Five of my uncles
00:02:15.468 --> 00:02:16.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
are alcoholics.
00:02:16.603 --> 00:02:17.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I mean, you talk about
00:02:17.804 --> 00:02:18.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a poster child for someone
00:02:19.005 --> 00:02:20.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who escaped chaos,
00:02:20.707 --> 00:02:22.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you're looking at him.
00:02:22.075 --> 00:02:24.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So this is an observation
00:02:24.244 --> 00:02:26.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of the world's, yes, but
00:02:26.746 --> 00:02:28.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
through the lens of what
00:02:28.381 --> 00:02:30.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
God has done to redeem and
00:02:30.083 --> 00:02:32.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
restore my family of origin.
00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:34.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And, man, I grew up in
00:02:34.787 --> 00:02:36.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a lot of chaos, and so,
00:02:36.956 --> 00:02:37.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I know a thing or two
00:02:37.991 --> 00:02:38.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
about chaos.
00:02:39.025 --> 00:02:40.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
RANDY: Let's hear a little bit
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:41.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
about how God rescued you
00:02:41.461 --> 00:02:42.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
from that.
00:02:42.562 --> 00:02:44.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
What's the story there?
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:46.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
MANNY: Well, first of all,
00:02:46.332 --> 00:02:47.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I started going to a church.
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
My aunt asked my parents
00:02:49.536 --> 00:02:50.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
if I could start coming
00:02:50.670 --> 00:02:51.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to this Pentecostal church
00:02:51.738 --> 00:02:52.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
with her,
00:02:52.872 --> 00:02:55.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I got radically saved.
00:02:55.108 --> 00:02:56.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
TAMMY: How old were you?
00:02:56.276 --> 00:02:57.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
MANNY: I was 13 years old.
00:02:57.911 --> 00:02:59.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I'll say this.
00:02:59.846 --> 00:03:01.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I think that sometimes
00:03:01.314 --> 00:03:03.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
what church does is,
00:03:03.650 --> 00:03:05.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
not every church, but this
00:03:05.285 --> 00:03:06.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is definitely my experience,
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:08.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is that church helped me
00:03:08.221 --> 00:03:09.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to deal with the sin in
00:03:09.222 --> 00:03:11.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my life, but not necessarily
00:03:11.457 --> 00:03:13.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the chaos of my life.
00:03:13.293 --> 00:03:14.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And so sin is easier
00:03:14.827 --> 00:03:15.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to deal with, right?
00:03:15.995 --> 00:03:17.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It's like, hey, don't drink,
00:03:17.096 --> 00:03:18.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
don't smoke, don't have sex
00:03:18.131 --> 00:03:19.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
before you're married.
00:03:19.232 --> 00:03:21.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You know, it's the morals.
00:03:21.334 --> 00:03:22.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But it wasn't until the day
00:03:22.702 --> 00:03:24.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I got married that I found out
00:03:24.270 --> 00:03:26.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there was chaos in my life
00:03:26.105 --> 00:03:27.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because I'm marrying
00:03:27.206 --> 00:03:28.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the woman of my dreams.
00:03:28.207 --> 00:03:29.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
She's beautiful.
00:03:29.242 --> 00:03:30.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
She's awesome.
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:31.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
She's my college sweetheart.
00:03:31.544 --> 00:03:32.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And, there was one person
00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:33.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
at my wedding who just had
00:03:33.713 --> 00:03:35.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
an attitude, you know?
00:03:35.148 --> 00:03:36.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Not very happy --
00:03:36.215 --> 00:03:37.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
not very happy that
00:03:37.283 --> 00:03:38.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I got married.
00:03:38.651 --> 00:03:40.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Her name is Mom. Okay?
00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:43.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So Mom is just kind of like,
00:03:43.723 --> 00:03:44.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I don't know if you ever
00:03:45.024 --> 00:03:46.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
talked to these people
00:03:46.192 --> 00:03:47.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who what they're saying
00:03:47.226 --> 00:03:48.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and how they're saying it
00:03:48.261 --> 00:03:49.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
don't match?
00:03:49.762 --> 00:03:51.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, I go over to my mom
00:03:51.230 --> 00:03:52.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in the middle of our reception
00:03:52.465 --> 00:03:54.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I'm like, You okay?
00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:55.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You know, is everything
00:03:55.201 --> 00:03:56.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
all right?"
00:03:56.235 --> 00:03:57.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
She goes, "I'm just
00:03:57.303 --> 00:03:58.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
so happy for you."
00:03:58.371 --> 00:03:59.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It doesn't feel like it.
00:03:59.839 --> 00:04:01.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And so, I started to unpack
00:04:01.841 --> 00:04:03.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
all this with a therapist.
00:04:04.043 --> 00:04:05.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
My therapist began to help me
00:04:05.645 --> 00:04:07.313 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to see that a lot like
00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:08.548 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
the woman at the well who had
00:04:08.615 --> 00:04:10.984 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
been in five relationships,
00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:12.118 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
and the relationship
00:04:12.185 --> 00:04:13.186 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
she was in right now
00:04:13.252 --> 00:04:14.354 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
is dysfunctional.
00:04:14.420 --> 00:04:15.488 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
Jesus is going to be man
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:16.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
number seven in her life
00:04:16.723 --> 00:04:17.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to actually finally
00:04:17.890 --> 00:04:19.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
bring healing and wholeness.
00:04:19.125 --> 00:04:20.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But my mother had never
00:04:20.893 --> 00:04:22.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
met her biological father,
00:04:22.695 --> 00:04:23.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and then my mother was
00:04:23.963 --> 00:04:25.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
actually sexually assaulted
00:04:25.798 --> 00:04:27.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
by her brother's best friend;
00:04:27.066 --> 00:04:28.101 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that's why she got pregnant
00:04:28.167 --> 00:04:29.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
so young.
00:04:29.969 --> 00:04:31.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Then my mother had
00:04:31.971 --> 00:04:33.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
my older brother,
00:04:33.306 --> 00:04:34.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and then my father,
00:04:34.474 --> 00:04:35.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who was the drug addict
00:04:35.642 --> 00:04:38.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
was incarcerated for 18 years.
00:04:38.244 --> 00:04:39.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
My therapist began
00:04:39.312 --> 00:04:40.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to teach me that in the soul
00:04:40.747 --> 00:04:41.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of every woman,
00:04:41.914 --> 00:04:42.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the soul of every man,
00:04:42.982 --> 00:04:43.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
we're asking
00:04:44.017 --> 00:04:44.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
two different questions.
00:04:45.051 --> 00:04:46.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The soul of every woman,
00:04:46.085 --> 00:04:47.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
every woman is asking
00:04:47.086 --> 00:04:48.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the question, this starts
00:04:48.121 --> 00:04:49.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
around the age of four, five,
00:04:49.188 --> 00:04:50.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or six years old, your soul
00:04:50.456 --> 00:04:51.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is asking, am I lovable?
00:04:52.058 --> 00:04:53.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And who will love me?
00:04:53.359 --> 00:04:54.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And so, of course,
00:04:54.394 --> 00:04:55.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
my mother's biological father
00:04:55.461 --> 00:04:56.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is not able to answer
00:04:56.529 --> 00:04:57.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that question.
00:04:57.563 --> 00:04:58.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Neither is her brother
00:04:58.831 --> 00:04:59.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
who allowed someone
00:04:59.832 --> 00:05:01.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to sexually assault her.
00:05:01.367 --> 00:05:02.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
My grandmother then made
00:05:02.702 --> 00:05:04.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my mom marry that man
00:05:04.570 --> 00:05:05.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
who assaulted her
00:05:05.672 --> 00:05:06.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and impregnated her.
00:05:06.739 --> 00:05:07.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He can't answer the question
00:05:07.807 --> 00:05:08.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of if she is lovable,
00:05:08.875 --> 00:05:10.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and will he be the person
00:05:10.109 --> 00:05:11.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that will love her?
00:05:11.177 --> 00:05:12.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
My brother couldn't
00:05:12.245 --> 00:05:13.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
answer that question.
00:05:13.312 --> 00:05:14.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Then she marries my dad.
00:05:14.380 --> 00:05:15.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
My dad's a drug addict.
00:05:15.448 --> 00:05:16.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He's been incarcerated
00:05:16.516 --> 00:05:17.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
for years.
00:05:17.583 --> 00:05:18.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
My dad can't answer
00:05:18.651 --> 00:05:19.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the question, are you lovable?
00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:20.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And am I going to be
00:05:20.953 --> 00:05:22.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the person that will love you?
00:05:22.155 --> 00:05:23.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The way disappointment works
00:05:23.222 --> 00:05:24.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is you don't just sweep it
00:05:24.457 --> 00:05:25.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
under the rug.
00:05:25.525 --> 00:05:26.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It doesn't go away.
00:05:26.592 --> 00:05:27.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It accumulates.
00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:28.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's like an avalanche.
00:05:28.728 --> 00:05:29.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So disappointed from the
00:05:29.796 --> 00:05:30.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
first failed relationship,
00:05:30.863 --> 00:05:31.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
goes in the second,
00:05:31.931 --> 00:05:32.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
goes in the third,
00:05:32.999 --> 00:05:34.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
goes in the fourth,
00:05:34.067 --> 00:05:35.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
goes in the fifth.
00:05:35.134 --> 00:05:36.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And so now, I'm marrying
00:05:36.269 --> 00:05:37.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the woman of my dreams.
00:05:37.470 --> 00:05:38.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'm 26 years old.
00:05:38.538 --> 00:05:39.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I've hit the jackpot
00:05:39.605 --> 00:05:40.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my mind.
00:05:40.940 --> 00:05:42.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But there's an avalanche
00:05:42.542 --> 00:05:44.243 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
of failed expectations that
00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:45.745 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
my mom is dealing with.
00:05:45.812 --> 00:05:47.280 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
And now I'm man number six.
00:05:47.346 --> 00:05:48.648 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
She expects that I'm going
00:05:48.715 --> 00:05:50.116 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
to be the person that finally
00:05:50.183 --> 00:05:51.217 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
answers the question
00:05:51.284 --> 00:05:53.386 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
of her soul.
00:05:53.453 --> 00:05:54.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I remember being 26 years old
00:05:54.987 --> 00:05:56.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and having to make a decision,
00:05:56.289 --> 00:05:57.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because I'm not in
00:05:57.423 --> 00:05:58.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a covenant with her
00:05:58.591 --> 00:05:59.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but there's a covenant
00:05:59.659 --> 00:06:00.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
expectation.
00:06:00.760 --> 00:06:01.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
My therapist actually
00:06:01.894 --> 00:06:02.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
diagnosed us with surrogate
00:06:02.962 --> 00:06:04.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
spouse syndrome disorder.
00:06:04.764 --> 00:06:06.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's when you have spousal
00:06:06.232 --> 00:06:07.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
level expectations of someone
00:06:07.567 --> 00:06:09.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
who's not your spouse.
00:06:09.068 --> 00:06:10.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Well, because my dad was
00:06:10.136 --> 00:06:11.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
such a force of chaos, right?
00:06:11.871 --> 00:06:12.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He was an addict,
00:06:12.872 --> 00:06:13.940 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
he's unpredictable.
00:06:14.006 --> 00:06:14.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You never knew when he was
00:06:15.041 --> 00:06:16.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
going to be around
00:06:16.109 --> 00:06:17.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
or not be around.
00:06:17.176 --> 00:06:18.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Well, me and my mom became
00:06:18.277 --> 00:06:19.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
each other's safe space.
00:06:19.612 --> 00:06:20.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I became her refuge,
00:06:20.947 --> 00:06:22.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
she became mine.
00:06:22.081 --> 00:06:23.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I started paying bills
00:06:23.349 --> 00:06:24.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
at our house when
00:06:24.484 --> 00:06:25.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was 15 years old.
00:06:25.618 --> 00:06:26.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I was the spiritual leader
00:06:26.686 --> 00:06:28.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of the home when I was 17.
00:06:28.387 --> 00:06:29.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
All this to me felt very,
00:06:29.956 --> 00:06:31.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
very normal but
00:06:31.390 --> 00:06:32.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it's out of order.
00:06:32.792 --> 00:06:34.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It wasn't exposed to be
00:06:34.627 --> 00:06:36.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
out of order until there's
00:06:36.763 --> 00:06:39.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a wife in the equation.
00:06:39.132 --> 00:06:40.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
What is God's order?
00:06:40.333 --> 00:06:41.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
That a man would leave
00:06:41.701 --> 00:06:42.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
his father and his mother,
00:06:43.035 --> 00:06:44.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
cleave to his wife,
00:06:44.504 --> 00:06:45.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and they'd be one flesh.
00:06:45.571 --> 00:06:47.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Well, that word leave
00:06:47.273 --> 00:06:49.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in Hebrew means abandon.
00:06:49.142 --> 00:06:50.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It means forsake.
00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:51.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So I had to go through
00:06:51.911 --> 00:06:54.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
this long process, really,
00:06:54.747 --> 00:06:55.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with the Holy Spirit,
00:06:55.915 --> 00:06:58.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and with a lot of wisdom
00:06:58.084 --> 00:06:59.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of leading my mom to what
00:06:59.418 --> 00:07:01.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I call man number seven.
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:03.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So she's had five failed
00:07:03.122 --> 00:07:04.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
male relationships,
00:07:04.223 --> 00:07:05.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm number six.
00:07:05.792 --> 00:07:07.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Well, there's a man named
00:07:07.193 --> 00:07:08.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Jesus that can tell her
00:07:08.528 --> 00:07:09.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that she's lovable,
00:07:09.829 --> 00:07:11.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that can be the person
00:07:11.197 --> 00:07:12.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that will never leave her
00:07:12.231 --> 00:07:13.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
or forsake her,
00:07:13.332 --> 00:07:14.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that can be the man
00:07:14.834 --> 00:07:16.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who knows her identity,
00:07:16.235 --> 00:07:17.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that knows her value,
00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:18.638 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that knows her worth.
00:07:18.704 --> 00:07:20.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
My job as man number six
00:07:20.506 --> 00:07:22.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is to like lead my mom
00:07:22.175 --> 00:07:23.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to man number seven.
00:07:23.409 --> 00:07:25.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Because there's a lot of us
00:07:25.812 --> 00:07:27.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
if I allowed my mom
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to pull from the well,
00:07:29.515 --> 00:07:31.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that is my finite resource,
00:07:31.751 --> 00:07:32.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
my wife would have nothing
00:07:32.952 --> 00:07:34.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
when she comes to the well.
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:35.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
For the first couple of years
00:07:35.655 --> 00:07:36.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of our relationship, I mean,
00:07:36.856 --> 00:07:38.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm praying for
00:07:38.457 --> 00:07:39.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
there to be peace.
00:07:39.559 --> 00:07:40.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Me and my wife are arguing
00:07:40.693 --> 00:07:42.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a lot; I'm praying for peace.
00:07:42.094 --> 00:07:43.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was a youth pastor for
00:07:43.529 --> 00:07:44.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
ten years, and every kid
00:07:44.664 --> 00:07:45.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in my youth group was anxious.
00:07:46.065 --> 00:07:47.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I used to pray for all
00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:48.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of them to have peace.
00:07:48.634 --> 00:07:49.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Guess what?
00:07:49.702 --> 00:07:50.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The power of God's real.
00:07:50.837 --> 00:07:51.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They would leave
00:07:51.904 --> 00:07:52.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Wednesday night service,
00:07:52.972 --> 00:07:53.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
they'd have peace.
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The only problem is
00:07:55.107 --> 00:07:56.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I'd see them on Sunday,
00:07:56.242 --> 00:07:57.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
they'd have no peace.
00:07:57.310 --> 00:07:58.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
TAMMY: Was it sustainable?
00:07:58.377 --> 00:07:59.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
MANNY: Yeah, yeah.
00:07:59.445 --> 00:08:00.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
They come back on the next
00:08:00.880 --> 00:08:01.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Wednesday, the peace tank
00:08:01.948 --> 00:08:02.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is back to E.
00:08:03.015 --> 00:08:04.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I felt like Chick-Fil-A
00:08:04.083 --> 00:08:05.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
giving out free refills
00:08:05.151 --> 00:08:06.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to peace every week.
00:08:06.219 --> 00:08:07.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Then the Holy Spirit began
00:08:07.386 --> 00:08:08.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to reveal to me they didn't
00:08:08.855 --> 00:08:09.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
have a peace problem,
00:08:09.922 --> 00:08:11.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
they had an order problem.
00:08:11.090 --> 00:08:12.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God's solution to anxiety
00:08:12.158 --> 00:08:13.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is never peace.
00:08:13.226 --> 00:08:14.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God's solution to anxiety
00:08:14.293 --> 00:08:15.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
is order.
00:08:15.361 --> 00:08:16.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
When we begin to introduce
00:08:16.896 --> 00:08:20.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
order, albeit uncomfortable,
00:08:20.266 --> 00:08:21.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
albeit difficult,
00:08:21.767 --> 00:08:22.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when we introduce order
00:08:22.835 --> 00:08:24.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
into our lives,
00:08:24.337 --> 00:08:25.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
peace takes care of itself.
00:08:25.504 --> 00:08:26.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: Yeah, a byproduct.
00:08:26.572 --> 00:08:27.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
MANNY: It's a byproduct.
00:08:27.640 --> 00:08:28.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's a natural byproduct
00:08:28.708 --> 00:08:29.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
of peace.
00:08:29.775 --> 00:08:31.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So I wrote the book from
00:08:31.210 --> 00:08:32.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the perspective of I know
00:08:32.345 --> 00:08:33.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what it's like to have chaos
00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:34.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in my life, whether that's
00:08:34.981 --> 00:08:36.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the chaos of my dad
00:08:36.148 --> 00:08:37.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or the chaos of my mom.
00:08:37.617 --> 00:08:38.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I was praying the first couple
00:08:39.051 --> 00:08:40.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of years of our marriage,
00:08:40.253 --> 00:08:41.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
praying for peace.
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:42.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I remember finally,
00:08:42.388 --> 00:08:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the Lord being like,
00:08:43.456 --> 00:08:44.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'd love to give you peace.
00:08:44.924 --> 00:08:46.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
If you think I'm saying, no,
00:08:46.359 --> 00:08:47.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you're out of your mind.
00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:48.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
My answer is yes
00:08:48.628 --> 00:08:49.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the peace.
00:08:49.962 --> 00:08:50.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The only issue here
00:08:51.030 --> 00:08:51.964 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
is whether or not
00:08:52.031 --> 00:08:53.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you can sustain peace.
00:08:53.766 --> 00:08:56.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Until you begin to -- I don't
00:08:56.068 --> 00:08:57.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
mean this in a rude way
00:08:57.470 --> 00:08:59.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or a mean way, but you have
00:08:59.305 --> 00:09:01.007 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to put your mom in her place.
00:09:01.073 --> 00:09:02.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Everything in life
00:09:02.174 --> 00:09:03.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
has a place.
00:09:03.442 --> 00:09:05.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
If we say, man, this studio
00:09:05.645 --> 00:09:07.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is well ordered, that means
00:09:07.113 --> 00:09:08.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
everything is in its place,
00:09:08.481 --> 00:09:09.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
right?
00:09:09.582 --> 00:09:10.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
If I was sitting on this,
00:09:10.950 --> 00:09:12.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we'd say, that's out of order
00:09:12.218 --> 00:09:13.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because it's out of place.
00:09:13.552 --> 00:09:15.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So a lot of times
00:09:15.588 --> 00:09:16.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God comes into our life
00:09:16.589 --> 00:09:19.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and he does fix anxiety,
00:09:19.725 --> 00:09:22.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but first he fixes idolatry.
00:09:22.561 --> 00:09:24.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He begins to put things
00:09:24.397 --> 00:09:26.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in order so that
00:09:26.365 --> 00:09:27.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
we can sustain the peace
00:09:27.566 --> 00:09:28.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that he blesses us with.
00:09:28.634 --> 00:09:29.635 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
That's healed me
00:09:29.702 --> 00:09:30.703 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and my wife's marriage.
00:09:30.770 --> 00:09:31.771 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
TAMMY: I love that.
00:09:31.837 --> 00:09:32.838 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Does the Bible give us
00:09:32.905 --> 00:09:33.973 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
a roadmap on how to deal
00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:35.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with the chaos?
00:09:35.107 --> 00:09:36.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
MANNY: You better believe
00:09:36.175 --> 00:09:37.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
it does!
00:09:37.243 --> 00:09:38.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Creation is a roadmap
00:09:38.311 --> 00:09:39.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
on how to deal with chaos.
00:09:39.512 --> 00:09:40.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Now, most of us read
00:09:40.579 --> 00:09:42.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the Bible from an American,
00:09:42.782 --> 00:09:44.617 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
a modern American
00:09:44.684 --> 00:09:47.119 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Western perspective.
00:09:47.186 --> 00:09:49.322 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
So for us, when we read
00:09:49.388 --> 00:09:50.690 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Genesis chapter one,
00:09:50.756 --> 00:09:52.191 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
we're essentially reading
00:09:52.258 --> 00:09:53.526 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
an account where God makes
00:09:53.592 --> 00:09:55.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
something out of nothing.
00:09:55.194 --> 00:09:56.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Right?
00:09:56.662 --> 00:09:59.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And just know, yes,
00:09:59.131 --> 00:10:01.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
God is the one who creates
00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:03.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
something out of nothing.
00:10:03.102 --> 00:10:04.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But Genesis one isn't
00:10:04.537 --> 00:10:06.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
telling that story.
00:10:06.072 --> 00:10:07.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Genesis one is actually
00:10:07.273 --> 00:10:08.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
telling a way more
00:10:08.274 --> 00:10:09.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
fascinating story.
00:10:09.642 --> 00:10:11.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Any ancient Jewish person
00:10:11.510 --> 00:10:12.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
would have understood
00:10:12.878 --> 00:10:14.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Genesis one not as a story
00:10:14.647 --> 00:10:15.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of God creating something
00:10:15.715 --> 00:10:16.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
out of nothing but
00:10:16.882 --> 00:10:17.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
God creating order
00:10:17.917 --> 00:10:19.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
out of chaos.
00:10:19.719 --> 00:10:20.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Genesis one starts,
00:10:21.053 --> 00:10:22.021 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God created the heavens,
00:10:22.088 --> 00:10:23.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and the earth and the earth
00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:24.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
was formless and void,
00:10:24.890 --> 00:10:26.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and the Spirit of God
00:10:26.192 --> 00:10:27.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is hovering over
00:10:27.393 --> 00:10:28.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the surface of the deep.
00:10:28.461 --> 00:10:29.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
What's the deep?
00:10:29.528 --> 00:10:30.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Well, it's the abyss;
00:10:30.596 --> 00:10:31.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it's the chaotic,
00:10:31.664 --> 00:10:32.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
watery abyss.
00:10:32.732 --> 00:10:33.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And then there's darkness,
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and then there's the waters.
00:10:34.867 --> 00:10:35.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
His Spirit is over
00:10:35.935 --> 00:10:36.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
the waters.
00:10:37.003 --> 00:10:38.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We got the deep, we got
00:10:38.237 --> 00:10:39.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
darkness, we got waters.
00:10:39.505 --> 00:10:40.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
This isn't nothing!
00:10:40.573 --> 00:10:41.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So what does God do over
00:10:41.841 --> 00:10:43.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the course of seven days?
00:10:43.109 --> 00:10:44.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He rolls up his sleeves
00:10:44.176 --> 00:10:45.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and he does something that
00:10:45.244 --> 00:10:46.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I had to do with my mother.
00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:47.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He started to create
00:10:47.847 --> 00:10:48.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
boundaries.
00:10:48.914 --> 00:10:49.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
He creates a boundary between
00:10:49.982 --> 00:10:51.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the sea and the dry land.
00:10:51.250 --> 00:10:52.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
He creates a boundary between
00:10:52.752 --> 00:10:54.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the night and the day.
00:10:54.186 --> 00:10:55.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And then he created a boundary
00:10:55.354 --> 00:10:56.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
between the garden,
00:10:56.455 --> 00:10:57.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
which is ordered space,
00:10:57.556 --> 00:10:58.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and the wilderness that
00:10:58.724 --> 00:10:59.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was around it.
00:10:59.892 --> 00:11:01.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He creates order.
00:11:01.193 --> 00:11:02.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
God creates order by
00:11:02.228 --> 00:11:03.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
creating boundaries.
00:11:03.596 --> 00:11:05.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So the words that are used
00:11:05.164 --> 00:11:06.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
all through Genesis is
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God separated, God organized.
00:11:09.835 --> 00:11:10.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God begins to divide.
00:11:10.903 --> 00:11:12.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He begins to bring order.
00:11:12.138 --> 00:11:13.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So when God comes into
00:11:13.406 --> 00:11:14.607 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
your life and brings order,
00:11:14.673 --> 00:11:15.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my only question when
00:11:15.741 --> 00:11:17.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
it came to me and my mom's
00:11:17.543 --> 00:11:18.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
relationship was,
00:11:18.611 --> 00:11:20.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
do we have a good one?
00:11:20.146 --> 00:11:22.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Not are there boundaries?
00:11:22.114 --> 00:11:23.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Not do we have a healthy one?
00:11:23.549 --> 00:11:24.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Not have your problems
00:11:25.051 --> 00:11:27.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
spilled over into my life?
00:11:27.086 --> 00:11:28.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Not am I carrying your burdens
00:11:28.421 --> 00:11:30.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when I shouldn't be.
00:11:30.122 --> 00:11:31.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It's not boundary --
00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:32.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it wasn't boundary language,
00:11:32.324 --> 00:11:33.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it was just close.
00:11:33.392 --> 00:11:34.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Are we close?
00:11:34.527 --> 00:11:38.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
How often do we talk?
00:11:38.798 --> 00:11:40.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
The characteristic of
00:11:40.166 --> 00:11:41.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a healthy relationship
00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:42.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is not how often do we talk?
00:11:42.768 --> 00:11:43.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I could talk to somebody
00:11:43.869 --> 00:11:44.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
every day and have a terribly
00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
toxic relationship with them.
00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:48.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
The real question is does
00:11:48.274 --> 00:11:49.742 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:50.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
does the fruit of
00:11:51.010 --> 00:11:52.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the Holy Spirit flourish here?
00:11:52.578 --> 00:11:54.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God definitely gives us
00:11:54.113 --> 00:11:55.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
a roadmap.
00:11:55.581 --> 00:11:56.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It just doesn't always
00:11:56.715 --> 00:11:57.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
look the way that
00:11:57.716 --> 00:11:58.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we want it to look.
00:11:58.784 --> 00:11:59.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So here's what God does,
00:12:00.019 --> 00:12:01.120 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
The sea represents chaos;
00:12:01.187 --> 00:12:02.188 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
the dry ground
00:12:02.254 --> 00:12:03.255 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
represents order.
00:12:03.322 --> 00:12:04.457 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
The night represents chaos;
00:12:04.523 --> 00:12:05.658 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the day represents order.
00:12:05.724 --> 00:12:06.725 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
The wilderness
00:12:06.792 --> 00:12:07.793 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
represents chaos;
00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.994 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
the garden represents order.
00:12:09.061 --> 00:12:11.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
God doesn't eradicate chaos.
00:12:11.497 --> 00:12:12.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He doesn't just do away
00:12:12.565 --> 00:12:13.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
with the sea or do away with
00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the night, or do away with
00:12:15.034 --> 00:12:16.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the wilderness. No, no, no.
00:12:16.469 --> 00:12:18.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He creates a boundary
00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:20.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and he says that order
00:12:20.206 --> 00:12:21.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
is going to begin
00:12:21.207 --> 00:12:22.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to govern chaos.
00:12:22.608 --> 00:12:23.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And so, of course, I've got
00:12:23.843 --> 00:12:24.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
lots of chaos in my life.
00:12:24.910 --> 00:12:26.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I've got a toddler.
00:12:26.345 --> 00:12:27.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I've got a church plant.
00:12:27.746 --> 00:12:28.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:13%
Okay?
00:12:28.881 --> 00:12:29.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Some of us think one day
00:12:29.915 --> 00:12:31.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we're just going to attain
00:12:31.650 --> 00:12:33.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
some level of peace
00:12:33.853 --> 00:12:34.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
where there's going to be
00:12:34.987 --> 00:12:36.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
no chaos in life.
00:12:36.288 --> 00:12:37.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It's unrealistic!
00:12:37.857 --> 00:12:39.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God doesn't ever --
00:12:39.391 --> 00:12:41.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
His ideal is not a lack
00:12:41.494 --> 00:12:43.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of chaos. Think about it.
00:12:43.629 --> 00:12:44.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
This is a mistake that
00:12:44.763 --> 00:12:46.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a lot of us make, right?
00:12:46.632 --> 00:12:47.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We assume that the Garden
00:12:47.967 --> 00:12:49.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of Eden is perfect.
00:12:49.101 --> 00:12:50.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's a massive assumption
00:12:50.236 --> 00:12:51.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that we make.
00:12:51.303 --> 00:12:52.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We even preach it
00:12:52.438 --> 00:12:53.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
all the time.
00:12:53.506 --> 00:12:54.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It's perfect. It's perfect.
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:55.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
It's perfect.
00:12:55.708 --> 00:12:57.109 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But God never called it
00:12:57.176 --> 00:12:58.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
perfect.
00:12:58.244 --> 00:12:59.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Genesis doesn't call it
00:12:59.411 --> 00:13:00.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
perfect.
00:13:00.479 --> 00:13:01.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
There's a word that
00:13:01.614 --> 00:13:02.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
God uses for it.
00:13:02.781 --> 00:13:03.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Called it good. Good.
00:13:03.949 --> 00:13:05.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Guess what good means?
00:13:05.251 --> 00:13:06.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Good means there's a beast
00:13:06.585 --> 00:13:07.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in there that's ready
00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:09.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to tempt you.
00:13:09.321 --> 00:13:11.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God says that's good.
00:13:11.290 --> 00:13:12.625 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Good is work.
00:13:12.691 --> 00:13:13.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Good is like
00:13:13.859 --> 00:13:15.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
there's a job to do.
00:13:15.761 --> 00:13:17.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Okay, so if God had created
00:13:17.163 --> 00:13:18.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
a perfect garden, Adam and Eve
00:13:18.497 --> 00:13:20.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
wouldn't have nothing to do.
00:13:20.666 --> 00:13:23.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Most of our images of Eden
00:13:24.003 --> 00:13:26.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is like Paradise
00:13:26.972 --> 00:13:29.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
sipping on pina coladas.
00:13:29.074 --> 00:13:31.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's a vacation, right?
00:13:31.777 --> 00:13:33.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But it's not vacation.
00:13:33.612 --> 00:13:34.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So what is God doing?
00:13:34.847 --> 00:13:36.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He puts Adam and Eve
00:13:36.115 --> 00:13:38.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the space to sustain
00:13:38.417 --> 00:13:40.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the order that he's created.
00:13:40.386 --> 00:13:42.054 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
So there's work to do.
00:13:42.121 --> 00:13:44.390 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Their job, really, was
00:13:44.456 --> 00:13:46.659 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
to spread the order so that
00:13:46.725 --> 00:13:47.693 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the garden would overtake
00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:49.161 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
the wilderness.
00:13:49.228 --> 00:13:50.462 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Instead of overtaking the
00:13:50.529 --> 00:13:53.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
wilderness with the garden,
00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:54.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
they decided to partner with
00:13:54.900 --> 00:13:56.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the beast of the wilderness,
00:13:56.435 --> 00:13:57.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and then the wilderness
00:13:57.536 --> 00:13:58.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
began to overtake the garden.
00:13:58.904 --> 00:14:00.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So we all have a decision
00:14:00.339 --> 00:14:01.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to make at some point.
00:14:01.707 --> 00:14:02.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Am I going to partner
00:14:02.808 --> 00:14:03.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with God to spread order,
00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:04.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
or am I going to partner with
00:14:05.010 --> 00:14:06.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the beast to spread chaos?
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
That is actually theologically
00:14:08.914 --> 00:14:09.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what's happening.
00:14:10.049 --> 00:14:12.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
A world with no adversary
00:14:12.818 --> 00:14:14.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is not a good world.
00:14:14.987 --> 00:14:16.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You actually need a Goliath.
00:14:17.056 --> 00:14:18.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You need a wall of Jericho.
00:14:18.857 --> 00:14:20.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You need opposition in order
00:14:20.626 --> 00:14:21.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to be everything that
00:14:21.694 --> 00:14:22.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
God wants you to be.
00:14:22.761 --> 00:14:24.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
There has to be some form
00:14:24.096 --> 00:14:27.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of chaos that makes you
00:14:27.833 --> 00:14:30.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
a better you.
00:14:30.269 --> 00:14:32.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Most of us, though,
00:14:32.238 --> 00:14:33.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
instead of allowing the chaos
00:14:33.672 --> 00:14:34.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be something that
00:14:34.707 --> 00:14:35.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we overcome, the chaos
00:14:35.975 --> 00:14:37.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
starts to disciple us,
00:14:37.376 --> 00:14:38.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and then we don't know how
00:14:38.510 --> 00:14:40.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to live in order.
00:14:40.346 --> 00:14:43.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So I had to unlearn, I guess
00:14:43.148 --> 00:14:44.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the cliche way to say it
00:14:44.650 --> 00:14:46.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is like, what got you here
00:14:46.218 --> 00:14:47.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
won't get you there.
00:14:47.286 --> 00:14:49.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
There's a lot of us who --
00:14:49.121 --> 00:14:50.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I may have come from chaos,
00:14:50.689 --> 00:14:51.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and I'm grateful for
00:14:51.757 --> 00:14:52.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the chaos I come from,
00:14:53.058 --> 00:14:54.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but at some point, I have
00:14:54.660 --> 00:14:55.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to throw off the bondage
00:14:55.961 --> 00:14:57.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that comes with chaos
00:14:57.630 --> 00:14:59.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and learn how to enjoy order
00:14:59.898 --> 00:15:01.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and live in order.
00:15:01.166 --> 00:15:02.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
RANDY: When you use the term
00:15:02.368 --> 00:15:04.236 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
"order" I think of my wife.
00:15:04.303 --> 00:15:05.571 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Because she is a very
00:15:05.638 --> 00:15:06.672 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
ordered person.
00:15:06.739 --> 00:15:07.973 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Like you go in our house,
00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:09.208 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
it is ordered, it is clean,
00:15:09.275 --> 00:15:10.342 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
it is neat.
00:15:10.409 --> 00:15:12.278 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I could walk in my house
00:15:12.344 --> 00:15:14.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and see something and go,
00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
okay, something's off
00:15:16.682 --> 00:15:18.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because I know the order
00:15:18.484 --> 00:15:20.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that she sets things in.
00:15:20.085 --> 00:15:21.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
If you walked in my house,
00:15:21.387 --> 00:15:22.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you wouldn't know it.
00:15:22.721 --> 00:15:24.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Okay, so here's my question.
00:15:25.024 --> 00:15:26.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I look around and I go,
00:15:26.392 --> 00:15:28.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Man, that person's messed up!
00:15:28.627 --> 00:15:30.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
There's a clear problem.
00:15:30.863 --> 00:15:31.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I mean the plank in
00:15:31.930 --> 00:15:34.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that guy's eye is so obvious
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but I don't see the one
00:15:36.235 --> 00:15:37.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in my own eye.
00:15:37.369 --> 00:15:39.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Are there any red flags
00:15:39.104 --> 00:15:41.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
at any kind of signs that
00:15:41.273 --> 00:15:44.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I should know that say
00:15:44.376 --> 00:15:45.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
my life is out of order
00:15:45.778 --> 00:15:46.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in some regard?
00:15:46.845 --> 00:15:47.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
MANNY: Oh, boy!
00:15:47.913 --> 00:15:48.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
There's lots of them.
00:15:48.981 --> 00:15:50.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: Would you give me
00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:51.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
one or two? Big ones.
00:15:51.283 --> 00:15:52.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
MANNY: I don't know.
00:15:52.351 --> 00:15:53.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I expect people to submit
00:15:53.485 --> 00:15:54.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to me, but I don't submit
00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:55.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to anybody.
00:15:55.988 --> 00:15:57.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I deal with that one
00:15:57.122 --> 00:15:58.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
with a lot of married guys.
00:15:58.557 --> 00:15:59.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
They're like,
00:15:59.625 --> 00:16:00.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
My wife won't submit!
00:16:00.693 --> 00:16:01.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm like, Well,
00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:03.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
who do you submit to?
00:16:03.662 --> 00:16:05.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Order, you know what I mean?
00:16:05.130 --> 00:16:07.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Hey, I have a call of God
00:16:07.433 --> 00:16:08.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
on my life, and no one
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
will affirm it.
00:16:09.668 --> 00:16:12.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Okay, well, are you helping
00:16:12.438 --> 00:16:13.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
anybody with the call of God
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on their life? No.
00:16:15.908 --> 00:16:17.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So you start to see it
00:16:17.409 --> 00:16:20.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in all kinds of ways.
00:16:20.746 --> 00:16:21.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
One of the ways that we see it
00:16:21.847 --> 00:16:23.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is hyper-individualism.
00:16:23.716 --> 00:16:25.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God designed us to be social.
00:16:25.217 --> 00:16:27.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
He designed us to be communal.
00:16:27.353 --> 00:16:28.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And hyper-individualism
00:16:28.654 --> 00:16:30.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
begins to create chaos
00:16:30.723 --> 00:16:32.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
when you believe
00:16:32.591 --> 00:16:34.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you belong to yourself.
00:16:34.326 --> 00:16:36.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
You know, I also was
00:16:36.095 --> 00:16:37.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a youth pastor for ten years.
00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:38.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So not only do they struggle
00:16:38.897 --> 00:16:40.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
with anxiety, but preferred
00:16:40.933 --> 00:16:41.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
pronouns started to be
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a thing by the time I was
00:16:43.535 --> 00:16:44.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in youth ministry, right?
00:16:45.003 --> 00:16:46.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And I never made it
00:16:46.105 --> 00:16:47.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
about the pronouns.
00:16:47.373 --> 00:16:49.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I helped kids to realize
00:16:49.174 --> 00:16:51.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the real issue is the pride;
00:16:51.410 --> 00:16:53.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the pride of a created being
00:16:53.412 --> 00:16:56.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to tell the creator about you
00:16:56.148 --> 00:16:57.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
as if God doesn't know
00:16:57.483 --> 00:16:59.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
more about you than you know.
00:16:59.852 --> 00:17:00.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: Oh boy,
00:17:01.053 --> 00:17:02.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that's out of order.
00:17:02.121 --> 00:17:03.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
MANNY: That's out of order.
00:17:03.455 --> 00:17:04.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But we can all see how
00:17:04.656 --> 00:17:06.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the pronoun thing is wrong,
00:17:06.225 --> 00:17:07.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but then not apply it to
00:17:07.426 --> 00:17:10.295 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
our life in a different area.
00:17:10.362 --> 00:17:12.598 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
So, God, I repent of any time
00:17:12.664 --> 00:17:14.099 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
I've told you something
00:17:14.166 --> 00:17:15.534 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
about me when that's not
00:17:15.601 --> 00:17:17.636 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
what you've said about me.
00:17:17.703 --> 00:17:18.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because the right order
00:17:18.904 --> 00:17:20.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of things is that
00:17:20.139 --> 00:17:21.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
you're the creator,
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm a created being, and
00:17:22.741 --> 00:17:25.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that should create humility.
00:17:25.144 --> 00:17:26.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So I can't operate
00:17:26.578 --> 00:17:28.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in religious pride
00:17:28.313 --> 00:17:29.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and think that I'm going to
00:17:29.415 --> 00:17:30.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
win a world that's operating
00:17:30.549 --> 00:17:31.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in secular pride.
00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:33.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
That's crazy.
00:17:33.118 --> 00:17:34.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
No, no, no.
00:17:34.253 --> 00:17:35.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
In order to win a world that's
00:17:35.387 --> 00:17:36.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
operating in secular pride,
00:17:36.522 --> 00:17:37.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I've got to operate
00:17:37.556 --> 00:17:38.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in godly humility.
00:17:38.657 --> 00:17:40.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
That's in order.
00:17:40.192 --> 00:17:41.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
RANDY: Do you have
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:42.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
all your answers?
00:17:42.494 --> 00:17:43.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Do you have all
00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:44.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
your questions answered?
00:17:44.563 --> 00:17:45.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
TAMMY: No!
00:17:45.764 --> 00:17:46.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I had a few, and I literally
00:17:46.932 --> 00:17:48.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
feel like we could do another
00:17:48.534 --> 00:17:50.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
show with Pastor Manny.
00:17:50.235 --> 00:17:52.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
RANDY: I would love to.
00:17:52.070 --> 00:17:53.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
TAMMY: Would you stay?
00:17:53.372 --> 00:17:54.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Do you have time to stay
00:17:54.373 --> 00:17:55.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and do another one?
00:17:55.507 --> 00:17:56.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I have lots of questions
00:17:56.608 --> 00:17:57.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we didn't get to?
00:17:57.810 --> 00:17:58.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
MANNY: This is the thing
00:17:59.011 --> 00:17:59.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that was on my schedule
00:18:00.045 --> 00:18:01.346 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for the day.
00:18:01.413 --> 00:18:02.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: We don't even know
00:18:02.714 --> 00:18:04.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what -- the dragon. Right?
00:18:04.783 --> 00:18:05.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Well, I wanted to --
00:18:05.984 --> 00:18:07.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Okay, but we'll get to that.
00:18:07.085 --> 00:18:08.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But before we do that, Tammy,
00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:09.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I want to give people
00:18:09.588 --> 00:18:10.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
an opportunity to be the
00:18:11.023 --> 00:18:13.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
order in someone else's life
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because we can see the chaos
00:18:15.427 --> 00:18:16.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that is created.
00:18:16.962 --> 00:18:18.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
There's some situations
00:18:18.096 --> 00:18:19.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that are going on right now,
00:18:19.364 --> 00:18:20.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and we want to let you in
00:18:20.399 --> 00:18:22.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
on it because it's God's work
00:18:22.935 --> 00:18:24.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
when you join us to set things
00:18:24.937 --> 00:18:27.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
into his right order.
00:18:27.473 --> 00:18:28.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
This will make sense.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:29.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
But watch this.
00:18:29.708 --> 00:18:31.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And by the way, if you will
00:18:31.276 --> 00:18:33.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
help us in this outreach,
00:18:33.245 --> 00:18:34.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
which is what this is, and
00:18:34.546 --> 00:18:36.415 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
request Manny's book today,
00:18:36.482 --> 00:18:37.850 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
we'd love to send it to you.
00:18:37.916 --> 00:18:39.384 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
You still need to watch
00:18:39.451 --> 00:18:40.886 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
the other program with him
00:18:40.953 --> 00:18:42.688 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
but watch this right now
00:18:42.754 --> 00:18:44.456 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
and see how we can bring
00:18:44.523 --> 00:18:45.757 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
God's order
00:18:45.824 --> 00:18:47.659 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
into someone's chaos.
00:18:49.628 --> 00:18:52.664 align:start line:10% position:23% size:55%
When the silent killer
malnutrition sets in
00:18:52.731 --> 00:18:55.868 align:center line:10% position:50% size:75%
among the most vulnerable,
it produces what you're seeing
00:18:55.934 --> 00:19:01.006 align:center line:10% position:50% size:70%
in these children: Thinning
hair, thin and frail bodies.
00:19:01.073 --> 00:19:03.442 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
When young children
reach these stages,
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:08.614 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
chances of survival
are very slim.
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:13.018 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
ISAK: We're here with nurse
Alice, the senior nurse
00:19:13.085 --> 00:19:17.456 align:center line:63% position:45% size:68%
in this malnutrition clinic
in southern Angola.
00:19:17.523 --> 00:19:20.325 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
She's just been assessing
this little guy.
00:19:20.392 --> 00:19:22.427 align:center line:79% position:50% size:28%
His name
is Ignacio.
00:19:22.494 --> 00:19:26.732 align:start line:74% position:18% size:65%
When she measured the arm,
the fact the measurement
is in red,
00:19:26.798 --> 00:19:30.836 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
Alice was explaining to us
that shows that this child
00:19:30.903 --> 00:19:34.473 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
is in a critical condition,
suffering from malnutrition.
00:19:34.540 --> 00:19:36.742 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
As she put it,
that's admitted criteria.
00:19:36.808 --> 00:19:39.511 align:start line:10% position:13% size:73%
This child has to be admitted
into a malnutrition clinic.
00:19:39.578 --> 00:19:43.382 align:start line:10% position:13% size:75%
That's the reality for so many
of the children in this area
00:19:43.448 --> 00:19:45.817 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
for so many mothers
like Rosa,
00:19:45.884 --> 00:19:48.153 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
who are literally
out there in villages.
00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:50.222 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
For every one child
in these clinics,
00:19:50.289 --> 00:19:53.091 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
that represents
tens or even hundreds
00:19:53.158 --> 00:19:55.160 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
of children
out in the villages.
00:19:55.227 --> 00:19:57.296 align:center line:10% position:50% size:58%
Nurse Alice has told us
how they've seen
00:19:57.362 --> 00:20:00.265 align:center line:10% position:50% size:63%
an incredible increase
in the number of children
00:20:00.332 --> 00:20:02.334 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
coming into these
malnutrition clinics.
00:20:02.401 --> 00:20:04.603 align:start line:10% position:20% size:58%
When asked why,
one of the main reasons
00:20:04.670 --> 00:20:06.672 align:center line:10% position:50% size:33%
is because of
the drought.
00:20:06.738 --> 00:20:09.541 align:start line:10% position:18% size:63%
That is what we're seeing
at a village level.
00:20:09.608 --> 00:20:14.479 align:start line:10% position:15% size:70%
It's projected that over
114,000 children will suffer
00:20:14.546 --> 00:20:18.317 align:center line:10% position:50% size:58%
of acute malnutrition
in the next few months.
00:20:18.383 --> 00:20:22.521 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
But here's the reality.
I gave you those statistics.
00:20:22.588 --> 00:20:26.458 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
Those are not just numbers.
Those are real lives.
00:20:26.525 --> 00:20:28.860 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
Those are
individual children.
00:20:28.927 --> 00:20:30.996 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
Those are mothers
whose hearts
00:20:31.063 --> 00:20:34.099 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
will be broken
because they can't do
00:20:34.166 --> 00:20:36.868 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
what they need to do to save
their children's lives.
00:20:36.935 --> 00:20:39.838 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
They're doing everything,
but they cannot save them.
00:20:39.905 --> 00:20:41.907 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
Not without you --
and not with us,
00:20:41.974 --> 00:20:44.409 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
and the mission workers
here out in the field.
00:20:44.476 --> 00:20:49.147 align:start line:74% position:23% size:55%
That is why I need you
to please be an answer
to prayer today.
00:20:49.214 --> 00:20:51.416 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
I need you
to open your heart.
00:20:51.483 --> 00:20:53.919 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
I need you to express
God's heart
00:20:53.986 --> 00:20:57.322 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
and to extend his hands
to the children like this,
00:20:57.389 --> 00:21:00.826 align:center line:74% position:50% size:68%
to the malnutrition clinics
that so desperately need
our assistance.
00:21:00.892 --> 00:21:03.462 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
But to the mothers
out in the villages,
00:21:03.528 --> 00:21:05.530 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
that if they get
those resources,
00:21:05.597 --> 00:21:08.367 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
can keep their children
from ending up here
00:21:08.433 --> 00:21:12.571 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
and battling that
battle of life and death.
00:21:15.874 --> 00:21:17.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
RANDY: I know those images
00:21:17.442 --> 00:21:19.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
are hard to watch.
00:21:19.611 --> 00:21:21.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's hard to be there.
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Tammy, when I was at
00:21:22.648 --> 00:21:24.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the clinic and the mothers
00:21:24.082 --> 00:21:25.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
there with all their children
00:21:25.817 --> 00:21:27.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
waiting to get some medical
00:21:27.152 --> 00:21:28.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
attention because they had
00:21:28.453 --> 00:21:31.456 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
reached a dire situation,
00:21:31.523 --> 00:21:33.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what you didn't see was
00:21:33.091 --> 00:21:34.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
just around the corner
00:21:34.726 --> 00:21:35.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
where there's another group
00:21:36.061 --> 00:21:37.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of mothers with children.
00:21:38.063 --> 00:21:39.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The mothers are coming
00:21:39.231 --> 00:21:41.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and coming and coming.
00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:42.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Right now there's a very
00:21:42.768 --> 00:21:45.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
serious situation because
00:21:45.537 --> 00:21:48.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the supplies are running low.
00:21:48.807 --> 00:21:50.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It's due to a lot of
00:21:50.308 --> 00:21:52.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
situations around our country,
00:21:52.844 --> 00:21:55.113 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
even around the world.
00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:57.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
They can't always depend on
00:21:57.349 --> 00:21:59.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the resources that they have
00:21:59.184 --> 00:22:00.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
depended on when they hit
00:22:00.852 --> 00:22:04.056 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
this emergency situation.
00:22:04.122 --> 00:22:05.524 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
That's why your response
00:22:05.590 --> 00:22:07.325 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
today is so critical.
00:22:07.392 --> 00:22:09.695 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
We have been there.
00:22:09.761 --> 00:22:10.996 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
We need to continue
00:22:11.063 --> 00:22:12.631 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
being there and we need
00:22:12.698 --> 00:22:14.766 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
to expand the outreach.
00:22:14.833 --> 00:22:15.867 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
Right now, we feed about
00:22:15.934 --> 00:22:19.037 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
350,000 children every day
00:22:19.104 --> 00:22:21.473 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
in the various mission feeding
00:22:21.540 --> 00:22:25.911 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
programs, but there are more.
00:22:25.977 --> 00:22:29.214 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
And Tammy, it's hard to say,
00:22:29.281 --> 00:22:31.516 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
it hurts to say it but if
00:22:31.583 --> 00:22:33.652 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
we don't respond, if we don't
00:22:33.719 --> 00:22:35.420 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
maintain and in some places
00:22:35.487 --> 00:22:38.957 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
increase, those mothers
00:22:39.024 --> 00:22:40.792 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
will bury their children.
00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:42.627 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
TAMMY: They will.
00:22:42.694 --> 00:22:44.563 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
A couple of things that sit
00:22:44.629 --> 00:22:46.932 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
with me real heavy on a day
00:22:46.998 --> 00:22:48.433 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
like today when I'm watching
00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:51.503 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
a piece like that is
00:22:51.570 --> 00:22:53.305 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
the suffering that
00:22:53.371 --> 00:22:54.639 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
they're going through.
00:22:54.706 --> 00:22:56.575 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
These precious little babies,
00:22:56.641 --> 00:22:58.477 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
Randy, it's the hardest thing
00:22:58.543 --> 00:23:01.213 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
for me being there, watching
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.949 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
these children dying.
00:23:04.015 --> 00:23:06.785 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Their mothers are hanging on
00:23:06.852 --> 00:23:08.920 align:start line:10% position:10% size:30%
to dear life
00:23:08.987 --> 00:23:10.288 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
for their children.
00:23:10.355 --> 00:23:11.456 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
So that's why
00:23:11.523 --> 00:23:12.724 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
we're coming to you.
00:23:12.791 --> 00:23:13.992 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I will never not be moved
00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:15.360 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
by a story like this.
00:23:15.427 --> 00:23:17.796 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I will never not be moved
00:23:17.863 --> 00:23:19.231 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
by the fact that that
00:23:19.297 --> 00:23:20.832 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
I can do something
00:23:20.899 --> 00:23:22.701 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and I must do something.
00:23:22.768 --> 00:23:23.969 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
So I'm asking you, please,
00:23:24.035 --> 00:23:25.270 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
would you do something
00:23:25.337 --> 00:23:26.471 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
along with me,
00:23:26.538 --> 00:23:28.440 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
along with all of us here
00:23:28.507 --> 00:23:29.741 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
that are desperately trying
00:23:29.808 --> 00:23:31.176 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
to get food to these people
00:23:31.243 --> 00:23:32.310 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
right now that need it,
00:23:32.377 --> 00:23:33.845 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
or they will die?
00:23:33.912 --> 00:23:35.147 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
It's so simple.
00:23:35.213 --> 00:23:37.449 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
For $30 you will feed
00:23:37.516 --> 00:23:38.650 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
three children,
00:23:38.717 --> 00:23:40.018 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
for $50 you will feed
00:23:40.085 --> 00:23:41.286 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
five children,
00:23:41.353 --> 00:23:42.521 align:start line:10% position:10% size:23%
for $100,
00:23:42.587 --> 00:23:43.855 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
you will feed ten children,
00:23:43.922 --> 00:23:45.023 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
for $1,000, you will come
00:23:45.090 --> 00:23:46.358 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
alongside us and help us
00:23:46.424 --> 00:23:47.759 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
feed a hundred children
00:23:47.826 --> 00:23:49.027 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
today, right now.
00:23:49.094 --> 00:23:51.229 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
So please, this is so serious,
00:23:51.296 --> 00:23:52.531 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and I need you to please
00:23:52.597 --> 00:23:54.132 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
come alongside us right now.
00:23:54.199 --> 00:23:56.067 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
Go online or make a call
00:23:56.134 --> 00:23:57.269 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:23:57.335 --> 00:23:58.570 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
But even as Isak said,
00:23:58.637 --> 00:24:00.038 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
these are real lives.
00:24:00.105 --> 00:24:01.439 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
These are real stories.
00:24:01.506 --> 00:24:03.108 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
These are real children that
00:24:03.175 --> 00:24:04.776 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
are dying right now because
00:24:04.843 --> 00:24:06.678 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
of the lack of food.
00:24:06.745 --> 00:24:07.746 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: But I also want
00:24:07.813 --> 00:24:08.914 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
to point out one thing,
00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:10.015 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
because there was one day
00:24:10.081 --> 00:24:11.216 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
in one of the clinics
00:24:11.283 --> 00:24:12.417 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
where a little boy
00:24:12.484 --> 00:24:13.652 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
didn't make it.
00:24:13.718 --> 00:24:14.753 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
His mother made it
00:24:14.820 --> 00:24:15.854 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
to the clinic, but
00:24:15.921 --> 00:24:16.988 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
it was too late, which is why
00:24:17.055 --> 00:24:18.156 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
we like to take the food
00:24:18.223 --> 00:24:19.558 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
out into the villages;
00:24:19.624 --> 00:24:20.725 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
that's a critical part
00:24:20.792 --> 00:24:22.394 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
of mission feeding.
00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:24.796 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
But they took the boy around
00:24:24.863 --> 00:24:25.997 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
outside the wall of that
00:24:26.064 --> 00:24:27.566 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
little compound into a field
00:24:27.632 --> 00:24:29.201 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
and buried him.
00:24:29.267 --> 00:24:31.903 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
I don't tell you that
00:24:31.970 --> 00:24:33.271 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
to manipulate you.
00:24:33.338 --> 00:24:34.472 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
I tell you that so you know
00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:35.974 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
how serious it is.
00:24:36.041 --> 00:24:38.076 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
But also so that you know
00:24:38.143 --> 00:24:39.477 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
when we say $30 will help
00:24:39.544 --> 00:24:40.779 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
feed three children
00:24:40.846 --> 00:24:42.147 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
for the next several months,
00:24:42.214 --> 00:24:43.882 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
that means something.
00:24:43.949 --> 00:24:45.784 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Yes, if you can give
00:24:45.851 --> 00:24:47.919 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
a lot, please do.
00:24:47.986 --> 00:24:49.454 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
But if you can give a little,
00:24:49.521 --> 00:24:50.589 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
please do, because
00:24:50.655 --> 00:24:52.257 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
it all matters.
00:24:52.324 --> 00:24:55.527 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Every life matters
00:24:55.594 --> 00:24:57.329 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
and you can do something.
00:24:57.395 --> 00:24:58.363 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
So please go to the phone,
00:24:58.430 --> 00:24:59.698 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
go online right now.
00:24:59.764 --> 00:25:00.799 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Make the best gift you can
00:25:00.866 --> 00:25:02.601 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
because these children
00:25:02.667 --> 00:25:04.369 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
are worth it.
00:25:04.436 --> 00:25:05.871 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
But just know that it's
00:25:05.937 --> 00:25:09.107 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
a matter of doing something
00:25:09.174 --> 00:25:12.410 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
and doing it today.
00:25:13.411 --> 00:25:16.648 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Right now, across
the continent of Africa,
00:25:16.715 --> 00:25:19.117 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
children are suffering,
facing severe malnutrition
00:25:19.184 --> 00:25:21.186 align:center line:58% position:50% size:20%
and even
death.
00:25:21.253 --> 00:25:23.321 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
With food reserves
critically depleted
00:25:23.388 --> 00:25:26.491 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
and many areas experiencing
devastating famine,
00:25:26.558 --> 00:25:28.927 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
we urgently need
to replenish supplies
00:25:28.994 --> 00:25:32.197 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
to keep feeding
the 350,000 children
00:25:32.264 --> 00:25:35.033 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
who are counting on us

a difference, and I hope
00:26:46.304 --> 00:26:48.673 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
you'll do it today.

thing!
00:27:02.020 --> 00:27:03.021 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
And a beautiful thought.
00:27:03.088 --> 00:27:04.089 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
It's something I had
00:27:04.155 --> 00:27:05.156 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
never really thought of.
00:27:05.223 --> 00:27:06.291 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
That's why this is so rich
00:27:06.358 --> 00:27:07.359 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
