00:02:24.144 --> 00:02:26.680 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Jerry: We do both, we do both, but we were administering the 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.018 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% counseling, and it was just trauma could be so loud, pain 00:02:31.018 --> 00:02:34.821 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% could be so loud that you're not hearing anything, and you're in 00:02:34.821 --> 00:02:36.890 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% a place that's trying to spiritually edify you. 00:02:36.890 --> 00:02:39.159 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% So this is really the vision behind the book. 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.296 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Randy: We got a lot of childhood wounds that people never seem to 00:02:43.296 --> 00:02:44.631 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% get healed. 00:02:44.631 --> 00:02:48.735 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% What are some of the truths from scripture that free us 00:02:48.735 --> 00:02:50.070 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% from that? 00:02:50.070 --> 00:02:51.738 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Jerry: Yeah, well, of course scripture tells us to be renewed 00:02:51.738 --> 00:02:54.674 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% by the--we could be transformed by the renewing of our mind, so 00:02:54.674 --> 00:02:58.345 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% it starts with identifying those mind wounds, those 00:02:58.345 --> 00:02:59.679 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% mental wounds. 00:02:59.679 --> 00:03:02.416 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And one of the things I always inform our members, friends, is 00:03:02.416 --> 00:03:04.718 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% if you could trace it, you can unlearn it. 00:03:04.718 --> 00:03:08.255 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% So there's a difference in coming out of a thing due to 00:03:08.255 --> 00:03:12.626 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% repercussions versus coming out of a thing due to reprogramming. 00:03:12.626 --> 00:03:15.929 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% So when your mind is renewed, that is where I could see where 00:03:15.929 --> 00:03:19.533 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% the knot formed that was causing for me to respond like that 00:03:19.533 --> 00:03:22.536 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% versus me just having behavior modification I'm trying to 00:03:22.536 --> 00:03:23.904 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% change, yeah. 00:03:23.904 --> 00:03:25.238 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Randy: What you're saying is you need to quit thinking 00:03:25.238 --> 00:03:26.573 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% that way, right? 00:03:26.573 --> 00:03:28.308 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Jerry: Yeah, if you could trace it, you could unlearn it. 00:03:28.308 --> 00:03:32.045 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so an analogy I use if somebody burglarizes your home, 00:03:32.045 --> 00:03:35.215 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% and they don't have a mask on, it's easier to identify them, 00:03:35.215 --> 00:03:39.286 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% but if they have a mask on, then it's harder to identify, and I 00:03:39.286 --> 00:03:43.090 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% think sometimes wounds are masked thieves, they're robbing 00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:46.693 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% intimacy, they're robbing joy, and so with the book we unmask 00:03:46.693 --> 00:03:48.462 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% them, we take the mask off. 00:03:48.462 --> 00:03:51.832 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% This is what it is, this is the thief of abandonment, this is 00:03:51.832 --> 00:03:54.534 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% the thief of rejection, but how do we get them out of the house 00:03:54.534 --> 00:03:55.902 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% so we could be healed? 00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:59.706 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Randy: How much of our healing is--because we can't--I don't 00:03:59.706 --> 00:04:02.209 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% think we can really fully heal ourselves. 00:04:02.209 --> 00:04:04.544 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% I mean, we can-- people help, right? 00:04:04.544 --> 00:04:08.381 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Counseling is great, we can read scripture, but ultimately it's a 00:04:08.381 --> 00:04:10.884 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% work of the Holy Spirit, is it not? 00:04:10.884 --> 00:04:12.686 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% Jerry: Yeah, it's definitely a process. 00:04:12.686 --> 00:04:17.657 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% It's similar to when I fractured my shin, if I stump hard enough, 00:04:17.657 --> 00:04:21.962 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% I still kind of feel it, and this was when I was what, 22? 00:04:21.962 --> 00:04:26.266 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So certain times there's healing that God gives you the grace to 00:04:26.266 --> 00:04:28.468 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% continue to pursue, and then there are other things where you 00:04:28.468 --> 00:04:30.704 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% could be totally healed from it to where I'm no longer triggered 00:04:30.704 --> 00:04:32.038 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% from things. 00:04:32.038 --> 00:04:34.774 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% So the goal is to be like a whole glass that could quench 00:04:34.774 --> 00:04:38.645 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% your thirst versus a broken glass starts to cut you. 00:04:38.645 --> 00:04:41.248 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% Randy: I know there's no formula, right? 00:04:41.248 --> 00:04:44.751 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% But is there--are there some general awareness? 00:04:44.751 --> 00:04:47.954 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% Jerry: Awareness, that is so huge. 00:04:47.954 --> 00:04:49.789 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% Are you aware of your attitude? 00:04:49.789 --> 00:04:52.526 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Are you aware of your trigger, how your mood shifts from day 00:04:52.526 --> 00:04:53.860 align:start line:69% position:48% size:18% to day? 00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.228 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% I think that's where it begins. 00:04:55.228 --> 00:04:58.031 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% If you can't see it, it's gonna be hard to diagnose it, but when 00:04:58.031 --> 00:05:00.834 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you recognize I need to go to the doctor because this cough is 00:05:00.834 --> 00:05:03.403 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% lasting, it's the awareness part. 00:05:03.403 --> 00:05:05.205 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Randy: Yeah, and I think that's where the Holy Spirit really 00:05:05.205 --> 00:05:09.776 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% comes in, and then we have, you know, sort of church words for 00:05:09.776 --> 00:05:14.814 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% them like conviction, which is key, repentance, which is 00:05:14.814 --> 00:05:18.084 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% agreeing with God that that is a messed up place in my life, and 00:05:18.084 --> 00:05:22.622 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% now I'm gonna turn from it, but God promises to do what we can't 00:05:22.622 --> 00:05:24.424 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% do on our own. 00:05:24.424 --> 00:05:25.792 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% Jerry: Yeah. 00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:27.294 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% Randy: I think some of the red flags are helpful. 00:05:27.294 --> 00:05:31.097 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% In other words, if we've got-- our heart needs to be rehabbed, 00:05:31.097 --> 00:05:35.468 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% there are some red flags that will definitely say there is a 00:05:35.468 --> 00:05:39.940 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% problem here and that ultimately that's helpful. 00:05:39.940 --> 00:05:41.808 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% I got a few that you talk about that come to mind. 00:05:41.808 --> 00:05:43.143 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% Is there anything that comes to mind with you? 00:05:43.143 --> 00:05:45.879 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Jerry: In the book we speak about a relational autopsy. 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.281 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% What was the cause of death to this relationship? 00:05:48.281 --> 00:05:49.616 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% Did I kill it? 00:05:49.616 --> 00:05:50.984 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% Did we kill it? 00:05:50.984 --> 00:05:52.319 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% Was this a relational homicide? 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.455 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% If every single thing you go through is always them, then we 00:05:55.455 --> 00:05:58.325 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% have an awareness problem, you see what I'm saying? 00:05:58.325 --> 00:06:02.796 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So it starts with being aware of what did I contribute to this? 00:06:02.796 --> 00:06:04.164 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% How did I miss this?

00:08:52.465 --> 00:08:55.001 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Because half the time it's self-fulfilling prophecy when 00:08:55.001 --> 00:08:56.336 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% you live that way. 00:08:56.336 --> 00:08:59.339 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Jerry: I think sometimes we have to identify how is my 00:08:59.339 --> 00:09:02.041 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% overthinking playing the role in my own suffering?
