align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% "Every Day Counts" is a book that is available now, but it's 00:01:09.803 --> 00:01:11.238 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% more than a book. 00:01:11.238 --> 00:01:14.107 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% It's the story of David Pollack, and his wife Lindsey joins us 00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:15.542 align:start line:69% position:50%

it's going to, I think, encourage you today. 00:01:32.292 --> 00:01:33.627 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% I've been encouraged by it. 00:01:33.627 --> 00:01:36.697 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: I've been encouraged, and even just getting to talk 00:01:36.697 --> 00:01:39.232 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% with you before the show, just what an incredible family 00:01:39.232 --> 00:01:40.600 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% and story. 00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:43.603 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% And we're so thankful that you've said yes to God in so 00:01:43.603 --> 00:01:44.938 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% many ways. 00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:46.306 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% So

you so much for having us. 00:01:49.009 --> 00:01:50.477 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Randy: So for those of--we were chatting a little football 00:01:50.477 --> 00:01:52.279 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% before we started here, and you know, I could see some people's 00:01:52.279 --> 00:01:54.982 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% eyes glazing over, but-- 00:01:54.982 --> 00:01:56.316 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% David: We're not talking about football. 00:01:56.316 --> 00:01:57.784 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Randy: Yeah, no, we're not gonna talk about football, but I'd 00:01:57.784 --> 00:01:59.453 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% like to talk about you, just so people can understand a little 00:01:59.453 --> 00:02:02.255 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% bit of how your life was radically changed. 00:02:02.255 --> 00:02:06.660 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% But jump back to how you got to be eventually in the NFL. 00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:08.061 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% David: Well, I was four years old. 00:02:08.061 --> 00:02:10.897 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% My brother was two years older, and he--I knew I wanted to 00:02:10.897 --> 00:02:12.265 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% play football. 00:02:12.265 --> 00:02:13.867 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% Like, I tackled everything on the sidelines. 00:02:13.867 --> 00:02:15.702 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Like, I got in trouble because of the cheerleaders and the 00:02:15.702 --> 00:02:17.104 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% water jugs, like, I hit everything. 00:02:17.104 --> 00:02:18.905 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% Like, I knew I wanted to do it. 00:02:18.905 --> 00:02:20.640 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% And from when I was six years old, I told anybody who would 00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.309 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% listen, "I'm gonna play in the NFL." 00:02:22.309 --> 00:02:24.144 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% That was my goal and my dream. 00:02:24.144 --> 00:02:26.780 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And then, you know, growing up, you hit your hiccups and you hit 00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:29.683 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% your, you know, spots that you weren't very good, and you keep 00:02:29.683 --> 00:02:31.051 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% pushing and pushing. 00:02:31.051 --> 00:02:33.720 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And then, you know, I got drafted in the NFL and then, you 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:35.622 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% know, drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. 00:02:35.622 --> 00:02:39.359 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% One play, one hit, and it was gone, just like that. 00:02:39.359 --> 00:02:43.096 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So, literally on the field, they take you underneath the stadium, 00:02:43.096 --> 00:02:45.532 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% they have the MRI machine, the X-rays, all that stuff there. 00:02:45.532 --> 00:02:48.301 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% They take you underneath and it's like, "Hey, you fractured 00:02:48.301 --> 00:02:51.872 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% your C6, C7," and me being a big dumb animal meathead football 00:02:51.872 --> 00:02:53.373 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% player, I'm like, "Cool, what does that mean? 00:02:53.373 --> 00:02:54.741 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% I'm out a couple weeks?" 00:02:54.741 --> 00:02:56.076 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% They're like, "That means you broke your neck." 00:02:56.076 --> 00:02:59.613 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I was like, "Oh, can we stick to the C6, C7, because that sounds 00:02:59.613 --> 00:03:01.148 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% a lot better than a broken neck." 00:03:01.148 --> 00:03:04.618 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Randy: How difficult was it to have achieved your lifelong 00:03:04.618 --> 00:03:07.354 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% dream, and have it gone like that? 00:03:07.354 --> 00:03:10.891 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% David: I think it's difficult for sure, like, because that's 00:03:10.891 --> 00:03:15.495 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% what you wanted to do, but I think it's fun to watch it now. 00:03:15.495 --> 00:03:16.963 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% It's not always fun in the moment, right, to go through 00:03:16.963 --> 00:03:18.298 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% something that's really difficult. 00:03:18.298 --> 00:03:21.168 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% But like, you know, God really used it for us, because it 00:03:21.168 --> 00:03:23.537 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% slowed us down, and especially slowed me down. 00:03:23.537 --> 00:03:27.607 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Like, I am ADD, all over the place, like energy boy, get in 00:03:27.607 --> 00:03:30.577 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% trouble, annoy the mess out of her all the time, like. 00:03:30.577 --> 00:03:34.114 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% And so I had a very transactional relationship 00:03:34.114 --> 00:03:35.482 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% with God. 00:03:35.482 --> 00:03:37.451 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% I talked to God in the morning, I talked to God before meals, 00:03:37.451 --> 00:03:39.953 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% and then occasionally, if I had time, I'd holler at him, right? 00:03:39.953 --> 00:03:41.321 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% Like, that's kind of how it worked. 00:03:41.321 --> 00:03:43.657 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so, the Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God." 00:03:43.657 --> 00:03:46.226 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% It's the first time that I actually had to be still. 00:03:46.226 --> 00:03:49.162 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% I had the halo, you know, drilled into the skull and two 00:03:49.162 --> 00:03:52.199 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% years recovery, but I think God used it in a mighty way. 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.567 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% I'm a better husband because of it. 00:03:53.567 --> 00:03:54.901 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% I'm a better dad because of it. 00:03:54.901 --> 00:03:57.104 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% But I think those storms in our lives are gonna come, right? 00:03:57.104 --> 00:03:58.438 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% It's not if, it's when. 00:03:58.438 --> 00:04:01.808 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% To get that at 22 and to get that perspective at 22 has 00:04:01.808 --> 00:04:04.277 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% changed the way we lived and how we fought the next battle, and 00:04:04.277 --> 00:04:06.546 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% the next battle, which obviously keep coming. 00:04:06.546 --> 00:04:10.250 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But it was a very awesome moment to get still and learn like, 00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:13.420 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% hey, my God wants a relationship with me, and when I spend some 00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:14.788 align:start line:69% position:50% size:70% time with him, it's amazing. 00:04:14.788 --> 00:04:16.123 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% You wanna hear from God more? 00:04:16.123 --> 00:04:17.457 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% Like, talk to him more. 00:04:17.457 --> 00:04:19.459 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% It was really enlightening. 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.996 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Blynda: So Lindsey, I'm curious about, here he is, a very public 00:04:22.996 --> 00:04:26.766 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% figure, and the dream that he has, you're kind of seeing that 00:04:26.766 --> 00:04:31.338 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% be taken away from him, but yet here you are as his wife, and 00:04:31.338 --> 00:04:33.673 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% raising the children and that kind of thing. 00:04:33.673 --> 00:04:37.944 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Yet you also, as life went on, experienced a lot of battles. 00:04:37.944 --> 00:04:42.516 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so how has your faith been impacted by watching what he's 00:04:42.516 --> 00:04:44.584 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% walked through and also in your own life? 00:04:44.584 --> 00:04:48.221 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Lindsey: Well, he's been a rock star, because after he broke his 00:04:48.221 --> 00:04:51.625 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% neck and had to leave the NFL, you would--I know it was hard 00:04:51.625 --> 00:04:53.727 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% because I'm his wife, and we would talk about it and I know 00:04:53.727 --> 00:04:56.496 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% it was hard, but other people wouldn't know it. 00:04:56.496 --> 00:04:59.366 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% He handled it with such positivity and such grace and 00:04:59.366 --> 00:05:03.436 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% such resilience, and that's a testament to his faith and how 00:05:03.436 --> 00:05:05.872 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% strong he was, and that didn't define him. 00:05:05.872 --> 00:05:08.575 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% He knew that his only purpose in life wasn't just to be an 00:05:08.575 --> 00:05:09.910 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% NFL player. 00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:11.711 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% And so I got to see that firsthand, which then 00:05:11.711 --> 00:05:14.814 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% strengthened my faith, because it helped me realize that we 00:05:14.814 --> 00:05:17.350 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% have more purpose than just the one thing. 00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:19.953 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Whether you're a football player or not, I think his story is 00:05:19.953 --> 00:05:24.024 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% very relatable because we all have dreams that go away, and we 00:05:24.024 --> 00:05:27.661 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% have to learn to move on to the next thing and trust God's plan. 00:05:27.661 --> 00:05:30.630 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so I think with that, I mean, I absolutely had to learn 00:05:30.630 --> 00:05:31.965 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% to surrender more. 00:05:31.965 --> 00:05:35.001 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% I'm a control freak, I like to plan out everything from 00:05:35.001 --> 00:05:37.537 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% yesterday to ten years from now. 00:05:37.537 --> 00:05:39.739 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% But we learned real quickly, we're not in control. 00:05:39.739 --> 00:05:43.643 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And I had to learn to just let go, and let God, and trust him 00:05:43.643 --> 00:05:46.646 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% with his story, with our story, with our family. 00:05:46.646 --> 00:05:49.382 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And like he said, it's not if you're gonna go through a storm, 00:05:49.382 --> 00:05:50.750 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% it's when, you know. 00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:53.153 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Jesus tells us this life is going--not if it's gonna 00:05:53.153 --> 00:05:56.356 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% have trouble, it is going to have troubles, "But take heart, 00:05:56.356 --> 00:05:57.724 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% I'm here with you." 00:05:57.724 --> 00:06:00.193 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% And so learning to trust, you know, that he's with us every 00:06:00.193 --> 00:06:02.662 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% step of the way, we just had to learn to do that. 00:06:02.662 --> 00:06:05.065 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% David: Well, we learned that football is a terrible god too. 00:06:05.065 --> 00:06:06.399 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% Randy: Terrible god? 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.767 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% both: Yeah. 00:06:07.767 --> 00:06:10.170 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Randy: Football, an occupation, whatever you do, it's a terrible 00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:13.340 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% god, like, because it is going to be gone at some point. 00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:16.610 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% And like, it happened for us immediately, which was a 00:06:16.610 --> 00:06:19.112 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% surprise, which was difficult, but like, you know, anybody 00:06:19.112 --> 00:06:21.448 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% who's gone through something like that, you start to realize, 00:06:21.448 --> 00:06:24.384 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% like, my identity, and where am I gonna put my identity? 00:06:24.384 --> 00:06:26.953 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And there's a bunch of things we talk about with identity in the 00:06:26.953 --> 00:06:28.822 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% book, but there's three ways to define identity. 00:06:28.822 --> 00:06:31.658 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% It's inside out, which is terrible because sometimes we 00:06:31.658 --> 00:06:33.460 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% walk by the mirror and we're like, "Oh, I like what I see," 00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:34.928 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% and then sometimes you walk by the mirror and like, "Eugh, 00:06:34.928 --> 00:06:36.263 align:start line:69% position:50% size:70% that's an ugly dude," right? 00:06:36.263 --> 00:06:37.597 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% Like it's just the way it works. 00:06:37.597 --> 00:06:38.932 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% Y'all don't say dude, but. 00:06:38.932 --> 00:06:41.801 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And then, or you can define identity from outside in, which 00:06:41.801 --> 00:06:44.304 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% is what everybody else says about you, which is just as 00:06:44.304 --> 00:06:46.473 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% miserable and just as volatile, right, because some people don't 00:06:46.473 --> 00:06:48.808 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% like happy people, some people don't like sad people, some 00:06:48.808 --> 00:06:50.143 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% people don't like people. 00:06:50.143 --> 00:06:51.511 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% Y'all know those people. 00:06:51.511 --> 00:06:52.846 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% If you don't, it might be you. 00:06:52.846 --> 00:06:54.681 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But like, some people just don't like people, so it's gonna 00:06:54.681 --> 00:06:56.016 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% be volatile. 00:06:56.016 --> 00:06:58.952 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But like, I think learning to really put your identity in this 00:06:58.952 --> 00:07:00.320 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% top down, right? 00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:01.655 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% Like what does God say about us? 00:07:01.655 --> 00:07:04.958 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so to have your identity of this world stripped away at a 00:07:04.958 --> 00:07:07.193 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% young age, it was awesome because it's like, okay, 00:07:07.193 --> 00:07:08.528 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% whose am I? 00:07:08.528 --> 00:07:10.196 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Like I'm loved, I'm created. What was I created for? 00:07:10.196 --> 00:07:11.931 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% I thought I was created to play football. 00:07:11.931 --> 00:07:13.300 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% I was wrong. 00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:15.068 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% But that's the way my brain worked, right? 00:07:15.068 --> 00:07:17.404 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And competitiveness, and then you start to realize, oh wait, 00:07:17.404 --> 00:07:20.006 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% like, God created me to do this and he created me to do this, 00:07:20.006 --> 00:07:23.176 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% and I think it's fun because the art of the possible opens back 00:07:23.176 --> 00:07:24.544 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% up in your life. 00:07:24.544 --> 00:07:27.781 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so whoever's failed and had those moments, like, those are 00:07:27.781 --> 00:07:30.784 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% moments that are used because God uses everything for good, 00:07:30.784 --> 00:07:33.887 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% not just the good times, but the bad times are always used to 00:07:33.887 --> 00:07:35.322 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% give us something that we haven't had. 00:07:35.322 --> 00:07:37.824 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Randy: Was he legit like this during while he was in the 00:07:37.824 --> 00:07:39.159 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% hospital, while he was in recovery? 00:07:39.159 --> 00:07:40.493 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% Lindsey: Always. 00:07:40.493 --> 00:07:42.062 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% Randy: Always like that. Where does that come from? 00:07:42.062 --> 00:07:44.664 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Blynda: I'm kind of sensing an opposites attract moment here. 00:07:44.664 --> 00:07:45.999 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% Randy: But where does that come from? 00:07:45.999 --> 00:07:47.367 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% You have a mama that prayed or something? 00:07:47.367 --> 00:07:49.369 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% David: Yeah, well, I don't--my mama didn't really pray for me. 00:07:49.369 --> 00:07:51.838 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% We were not in the church at all. 00:07:51.838 --> 00:07:55.208 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% We didn't set foot in the church when we were younger, but I've 00:07:55.208 --> 00:07:57.911 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% always had a lot of energy and intensity. 00:07:57.911 --> 00:08:01.014 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And now listen, and I've had a lot of competitiveness, too, and 00:08:01.014 --> 00:08:03.983 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I'll say this, it's been my greatest strength, but it's also 00:08:03.983 --> 00:08:06.686 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% been my greatest weakness, because it's also got me in 00:08:06.686 --> 00:08:08.021 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% plenty of trouble. 00:08:08.021 --> 00:08:12.492 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Randy: But the faith to know that God was working through 00:08:12.492 --> 00:08:16.663 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% what seemed like the end of your dream, like, where did that 00:08:16.663 --> 00:08:18.031 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% come from? 00:08:18.031 --> 00:08:19.366 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Did that grow over time or? 00:08:19.366 --> 00:08:20.734 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% David: Oh, 100%. 00:08:20.734 --> 00:08:22.936 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Like, I came to faith when I was--just before my senior high 00:08:22.936 --> 00:08:25.772 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% school, and two things happened, and I love to share this because 00:08:25.772 --> 00:08:27.173 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% these are two things that anybody can do. 00:08:27.173 --> 00:08:29.642 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% It doesn't have to be on the TV station. 00:08:29.642 --> 00:08:31.444 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% But like, I had a neighbor across the street that asked me 00:08:31.444 --> 00:08:32.779 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% to come to a lock-in. 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:34.114 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% I was like, "What's a lock-in?" 00:08:34.114 --> 00:08:35.849 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% They were like, "You come to the church and we lock you in." 00:08:35.849 --> 00:08:37.183 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% I was like, "No, absolutely not. 00:08:37.183 --> 00:08:38.518 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% Why would I wanna go to that?" 00:08:38.518 --> 00:08:40.587 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And then they said, "You get to eat and you get to play sports 00:08:40.587 --> 00:08:41.955 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% and stay up all night." 00:08:41.955 --> 00:08:43.289 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% I was like, "Okay, I can get down with that. 00:08:43.289 --> 00:08:44.657 align:start line:69% position:50% size:21% I'm in." 00:08:44.657 --> 00:08:45.992 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% So I got into that. 00:08:45.992 --> 00:08:47.727 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And then I had a teacher in a public school named Mark Watson, 00:08:47.727 --> 00:08:50.196 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% and he played praise and worship music, and he had the Jesus 00:08:50.196 --> 00:08:52.499 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% sticker on his computer, and I was like, "Oh, he's one of those 00:08:52.499 --> 00:08:55.235 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Jesus freaks," and everybody has their spiritual gifts, right? 00:08:55.235 --> 00:08:57.003 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% Well, mine, one of mine is being annoying. 00:08:57.003 --> 00:08:58.338 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% It's really strong. 00:08:58.338 --> 00:08:59.672 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% You can probably feel it, you know. 00:08:59.672 --> 00:09:02.275 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Randy: I missed that passage in the Scripture, but okay. 00:09:02.275 --> 00:09:05.044 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% David: But like, so I had a gift to get in trouble, and Mark 00:09:05.044 --> 00:09:08.047 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% handled me with such grace, and I was like, "Something's 00:09:08.047 --> 00:09:09.416 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% different about that dude." 00:09:09.416 --> 00:09:12.886 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And so, I say that because first of all, you don't have to know 00:09:12.886 --> 00:09:15.488 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% the Scripture inside and out and be a preacher. 00:09:15.488 --> 00:09:17.090 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% You can invite somebody to church. 00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:18.425 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% Anybody can invite. 00:09:18.425 --> 00:09:19.793 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% The preacher can do his job, right? 00:09:19.793 --> 00:09:22.695 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And then the second thing, the most important thing, is living 00:09:22.695 --> 00:09:24.531 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% a life worth emulating. 00:09:24.531 --> 00:09:26.266 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Like, because if somebody watches you and they're like, 00:09:26.266 --> 00:09:27.600 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% "Do they see your fruit? 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.636 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% Do they see, like, you are a faith-filled person?" 00:09:29.636 --> 00:09:31.404 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% That's different, because if they do that, then they're gonna 00:09:31.404 --> 00:09:32.772 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% want a piece of it, right? 00:09:32.772 --> 00:09:35.008 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Like Jesus walked this earth and people were like--like, because 00:09:35.008 --> 00:09:36.576 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% he didn't come with clout. 00:09:36.576 --> 00:09:37.911 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% He didn't come as a king, right? 00:09:37.911 --> 00:09:40.680 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% He came as a peasant, a day worker from Nazareth, right? 00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:43.016 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Like, so nobody was like, "Oh man, that's the dude," but the 00:09:43.016 --> 00:09:45.852 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% way he carried himself was in a way that people were like, 00:09:45.852 --> 00:09:47.420 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% "That's different. 00:09:47.420 --> 00:09:48.755 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% I want some of that. 00:09:48.755 --> 00:09:50.123 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% I wanna touch his garment," right? 00:09:50.123 --> 00:09:51.458 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% Like, "I want some part of that." 00:09:51.458 --> 00:09:54.694 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% And we can all--we all have that ability to do that. 00:09:54.694 --> 00:09:56.029 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% Blynda: It's so good. 00:09:56.029 --> 00:09:59.732 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% It's almost like a peace that resides in you when you know 00:09:59.732 --> 00:10:01.301 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% where your identity lies. 00:10:01.301 --> 00:10:03.236 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% David: It takes a lot of pressure off your life. 00:10:03.236 --> 00:10:06.272 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Imagine if everybody out there in their marriages took divorce 00:10:06.272 --> 00:10:07.874 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% off the table. 00:10:07.874 --> 00:10:09.442 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% Imagine if you took that off the table. 00:10:09.442 --> 00:10:12.078 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Like you take the negative off the table, and you just say, 00:10:12.078 --> 00:10:15.281 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% like, "I'm gonna be positive in every situation," like, "God's 00:10:15.281 --> 00:10:17.116 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% got something for me in this." 00:10:17.116 --> 00:10:19.285 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: We can think of something in our life and go, 00:10:19.285 --> 00:10:22.489 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% "Okay, I'll have the faith to to walk through that." 00:10:22.489 --> 00:10:27.694 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But then Lindsey, something like a brain tumor, which is now your 00:10:27.694 --> 00:10:31.064 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% life is hanging in the balance, that's something that could 00:10:31.064 --> 00:10:33.833 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% really shake your faith, that can really show you what really 00:10:33.833 --> 00:10:35.935 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% is inside, and that happened to you. 00:10:35.935 --> 00:10:37.270 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Can you tell us about that? 00:10:37.270 --> 00:10:43.743 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Lindsey: Yeah, so, in 2019 I started having ear pains, had no 00:10:43.743 --> 00:10:45.879 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% idea what it was, so just went to the doctor like 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.213 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% anybody would. 00:10:47.213 --> 00:10:48.581 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% Let's figure this out. 00:10:48.581 --> 00:10:51.718 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% ENT, chiropractor, they couldn't give me an answer, so they were 00:10:51.718 --> 00:10:53.386 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% like, "Let's do an MRI of your brain." 00:10:53.386 --> 00:10:55.955 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And they do, and lo and behold, there's something that comes 00:10:55.955 --> 00:10:59.292 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% back on the image, and they don't know exactly what it is. 00:10:59.292 --> 00:11:01.127 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% They labeled it an abnormality and they're like, "Okay, we'll 00:11:01.127 --> 00:11:02.462 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% just watch it." 00:11:02.462 --> 00:11:04.664 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% So five years go by and we're imaging every six months and 00:11:04.664 --> 00:11:08.468 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% there's no changes, no changes, I'm having no symptoms. 00:11:08.468 --> 00:11:12.171 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And then my last MRI October of 2024, when they were actually 00:11:12.171 --> 00:11:15.041 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% about to release me, "Okay, if nothing's changed, we're gonna 00:11:15.041 --> 00:11:17.744 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% let you go," and it has grown. 00:11:17.744 --> 00:11:20.046 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% So they decide, "Okay, we need to biopsy it and see what we're 00:11:20.046 --> 00:11:21.381 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% dealing with." 00:11:21.381 --> 00:11:26.219 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% So in December of 2024 they did a biopsy, and we waited weeks. 00:11:26.219 --> 00:11:28.655 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Almost a month later they came back and said, "Okay, it's a 00:11:28.655 --> 00:11:32.692 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% brain tumor and it's cancerous," which is not at all what we were 00:11:32.692 --> 00:11:35.895 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% expecting because we had nothing to tell us up to that point that 00:11:35.895 --> 00:11:37.463 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% that could be what we were dealing with, so it was 00:11:37.463 --> 00:11:39.165 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% definitely a shock. 00:11:39.165 --> 00:11:40.767 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% He didn't even go with me to the appointment when I found 00:11:40.767 --> 00:11:42.101 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% out because-- 00:11:42.101 --> 00:11:43.469 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% Blynda: You'd had so many good scans. 00:11:43.469 --> 00:11:45.171 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Lindsey: Yeah, every time I had gone they were like, "Oh, you 00:11:45.171 --> 00:11:47.907 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% know, no news is good news, so they're just taking their time, 00:11:47.907 --> 00:11:50.443 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% but we think you're fine." 00:11:50.443 --> 00:11:53.446 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So we met with several oncologists and surgeons, and by 00:11:53.446 --> 00:11:56.749 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% the grace of God we were able to get in with some amazing doctors 00:11:56.749 --> 00:11:58.251 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% at Duke University. 00:11:58.251 --> 00:12:01.754 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% And they were like, "Yeah, this is a grade 2 glioma. 00:12:01.754 --> 00:12:03.122 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% It's gotta come out. 00:12:03.122 --> 00:12:04.457 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% You're gonna have to have brain surgery to remove this." 00:12:04.457 --> 00:12:05.892 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% And it's like, okay, here we go. 00:12:05.892 --> 00:12:07.627 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% I mean, I'll never forget, he looked at me and he was like, 00:12:07.627 --> 00:12:09.162 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% "We're built for this," and he's right. 00:12:09.162 --> 00:12:12.165 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I mean, that's what God has been preparing us through all these 00:12:12.165 --> 00:12:13.499 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% ups and downs. 00:12:13.499 --> 00:12:18.037 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% So in March of 2025, I had a craniotomy to remove the brain 00:12:18.037 --> 00:12:23.176 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% tumor, and thankfully they got it all. 00:12:23.176 --> 00:12:24.544 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% Blynda: Which is like across your entire-- 00:12:24.544 --> 00:12:25.945 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% Lindsey: Across my head like a headband. 00:12:25.945 --> 00:12:30.883 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Six weeks of pretty intense recovery, but you know, now I 00:12:30.883 --> 00:12:34.354 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% take medication, like an oral chemo every day, and so, you 00:12:34.354 --> 00:12:37.256 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% know, that's one of the miracles is that back in 2019 when they 00:12:37.256 --> 00:12:40.393 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% found it, the only option would have been surgery and then chemo 00:12:40.393 --> 00:12:43.830 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% and radiation, which, radiation on your brain doesn't sound 00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:45.598 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% appealing to anyone, I don't think. 00:12:45.598 --> 00:12:50.203 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But because they didn't discover what it was until 2024, there's 00:12:50.203 --> 00:12:52.672 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% now a medication that I can take every day for the rest of my 00:12:52.672 --> 00:12:55.041 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% life that will keep--because this tumor can grow back, but it 00:12:55.041 --> 00:12:56.776 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% will keep it from growing back. 00:12:56.776 --> 00:12:59.612 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% So I'm beyond thankful for the timing and that that is an 00:12:59.612 --> 00:13:00.947 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% option for me. 00:13:00.947 --> 00:13:04.384 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So I take this medication daily, but I don't have any symptoms, 00:13:04.384 --> 00:13:05.985 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% so very thankful, yeah. 00:13:05.985 --> 00:13:07.353 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% Blynda: Praise God. I mean, this is a miracle. 00:13:07.353 --> 00:13:08.721 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% Lindsey: It is a miracle. 00:13:08.721 --> 00:13:10.456 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% There's so many things about his timing through my story that 00:13:10.456 --> 00:13:11.824 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% is miraculous. 00:13:11.824 --> 00:13:13.893 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% David: She had this--she never once cried. 00:13:13.893 --> 00:13:16.396 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% She never once said, "Why me?" 00:13:16.396 --> 00:13:19.265 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% In one of the car rides, I'll never forget, she said, "I think 00:13:19.265 --> 00:13:22.068 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% God chose me for this because he knew I could handle it." 00:13:22.068 --> 00:13:24.470 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% And so I thought, I mean, it was like, mm, yeah. 00:13:24.470 --> 00:13:25.805 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% I mean, it was hard. 00:13:25.805 --> 00:13:28.474 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Honestly, like, breaking your neck, and I think everybody can 00:13:28.474 --> 00:13:31.077 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% probably relate to this, like breaking my neck, getting fired, 00:13:31.077 --> 00:13:34.414 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% all that stuff, it's nothing as bad as when it's your spouse. 00:13:34.414 --> 00:13:38.551 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% Like, that's infinitely harder because there's no 00:13:38.551 --> 00:13:39.886 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% control, right? 00:13:39.886 --> 00:13:41.254 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Like, you can't control it. 00:13:41.254 --> 00:13:43.623 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% And I think how you handle it, like, to me it's like you 00:13:43.623 --> 00:13:44.957 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% wrestle, right? 00:13:44.957 --> 00:13:46.693 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And if you wrestle with God, and you're one of those people that 00:13:46.693 --> 00:13:48.828 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% wanna wrestle with God, well, I got bad news. 00:13:48.828 --> 00:13:51.130 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% It's just gonna be broken hip and dislocated joints and stuff, 00:13:51.130 --> 00:13:52.465 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% and it's not gonna get you anywhere. 00:13:52.465 --> 00:13:56.069 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And it's like you said earlier, how do you let go and let God?

It's not "Why me?" 00:16:55.214 --> 00:16:59.051 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% God gave that to me for a reason to use it, like, I know why he 00:16:59.051 --> 00:17:00.386 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% gave it to us. 00:17:00.386 --> 00:17:02.255 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% He gave it to use it for his glory, just like he gave us 00:17:02.255 --> 00:17:03.589 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% every other gift. 00:17:03.589 --> 00:17:05.958 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% So it's how do we take it, and how do we use it? 00:17:05.958 --> 00:17:09.061 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so I think that it's a different mindset when we flip 00:17:09.061 --> 00:17:12.398 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% that and when we use it, because we're not guaranteed anything. 00:17:12.398 --> 00:17:16.068 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Like in our Bible studies and in our small groups we've had so 00:17:16.068 --> 00:17:18.404 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% much of the, like, "Why do good things happen to bad people?" 00:17:18.404 --> 00:17:20.506 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% I'm like, you ain't good. 00:17:20.506 --> 00:17:21.874 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% Like, I got news for you. 00:17:21.874 --> 00:17:23.209 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% You ain't good. 00:17:23.209 --> 00:17:24.644 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% Like, I am sinful, you are sinful. 00:17:24.644 --> 00:17:27.647 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% We are born into sin--we are born into sin and we live in a 00:17:27.647 --> 00:17:31.284 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% sinful world, so what we deserve is death. 00:17:31.284 --> 00:17:33.886 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% So thank you, Jesus, however long we get, right? 00:17:33.886 --> 00:17:37.423 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so I think trying to--what you learn is to make every 00:17:37.423 --> 00:17:38.758 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% day count. 00:17:38.758 --> 00:17:41.661 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Like I only--and that's the main mantra behind the book. 00:17:41.661 --> 00:17:46.232 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Like, if you are driving in a car, as an analogy, if we're 00:17:46.232 --> 00:17:48.768 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% always looking out the front windshield and we're always 00:17:48.768 --> 00:17:51.003 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% looking to the future, then we're not enjoying where 00:17:51.003 --> 00:17:52.371 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% we're at. 00:17:52.371 --> 00:17:54.006 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% If we're always looking in the rearview mirror of that thing 00:17:54.006 --> 00:17:57.176 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% that happened, that shame, that guilt, that thing I wish I 00:17:57.176 --> 00:17:59.278 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% wouldn't have done, that thing that held me back, if we're 00:17:59.278 --> 00:18:01.714 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% always looking at there, we're not present. 00:18:01.714 --> 00:18:04.216 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And that's where we're trying to challenge people with the book 00:18:04.216 --> 00:18:07.420 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% is to, every day, to form goals and habits. 00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:10.656 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so if you're a believer and you're listening to this, like, 00:18:10.656 --> 00:18:12.959 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% what is the most important thing in my life? 00:18:12.959 --> 00:18:16.295 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% If I say God is the most important thing in my life, do 00:18:16.295 --> 00:18:18.097 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% my actions reflect that? 00:18:18.097 --> 00:18:19.899 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Am I selfish in the morning 00:18:19.899 --> 00:18:22.068 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% so I can be selfless the rest of the day, right? 00:18:22.068 --> 00:18:23.803 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% Am I getting in the Word? Am I reading? 00:18:23.803 --> 00:18:25.137 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% Am I going to church? 00:18:25.137 --> 00:18:26.906 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Like those are things that that's what people that wanna 00:18:26.906 --> 00:18:28.240 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% grow are doing. 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.977 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% They're meeting and they're pushing themselves. 00:18:30.977 --> 00:18:34.513 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so I think that's the main premise behind "Every Day 00:18:34.513 --> 00:18:35.848 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% Counts" in the book. 00:18:35.848 --> 00:18:37.216 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% Randy: Yeah, very encouraging. 00:18:37.216

allow that to happen?" 00:18:52.698 --> 00:18:57.436 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% But I think if you listen today, you'll see this as the 00:18:57.436 --> 00:18:59.638 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% opportunity that it is. 00:18:59.638 --> 00:19:03.075 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% And you're the people to rise up and to share God's love in 00:19:03.075

yet. 00:19:50.723 --> 00:19:54.060 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% But unfortunately there's no aid to give. 00:19:54.060 --> 00:19:57.396 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so we are desperately needing your help to make sure 00:19:57.396 --> 00:20:01.067 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% that the Mission Feeding can continue on, that we can 00:20:01.067 --> 00:20:03.669 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% continue to support these families, these mothers that 00:20:03.669 --> 00:20:05.671 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% work so diligently. 00:20:05.671 --> 00:20:12.211 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Can you imagine this mama having to come 45 miles to a clinic 00:20:12.211 --> 00:20:17.416 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% hoping to get aid, and there'd be none available? 00:20:17.416 --> 00:20:22.054 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% How defeating, how hopeless is that feeling for her, knowing 00:20:22.054 --> 00:20:25.458 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% that her baby is days away from dying? 00:20:25.458 --> 00:20:30.362 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We're the ones that have a responsibility to step into the 00:20:30.362 --> 00:20:33.933 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% gap and to bring hope and help to these mothers and 00:20:33.933 --> 00:20:36.402 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% these children. 00:20:36.402 --> 00:20:39.338 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% announcer: With your help, we can provide Mission Feeding in 00:20:39.338 --> 00:20:42.441 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% villages before a mother would need to bring their child to a 00:20:42.441 --> 00:20:44.343 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% malnutrition clinic. 00:20:44.343 --> 00:20:47.847 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% But for those children in need of emergency care, it is 00:20:47.847 --> 00:20:50.049 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% critical that we provide clinics with these 00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:51.584 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% nutritional supplements. 00:20:51.584 --> 00:20:55.287 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% It could mean the difference between life and death. 00:20:55.287 --> 00:20:57.289 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% The time to act is now. 00:21:02.795 --> 00:21:05.364 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Randy: I know that's tough to watch, and Blynda, you know, 00:21:05.364 --> 00:21:08.334 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% those clinics, they're necessary, I thank God for them, 00:21:08.334 --> 00:21:10.236 align:start line:69% position:50% size:70% but it's a hard place to be. 00:21:10.236 --> 00:21:14.073 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Blynda: I can't even really imagine, that what it has taken 00:21:14.073 --> 00:21:16.842 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% for them to get there means they've probably been without 00:21:16.842 --> 00:21:19.111 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% food in their village for a long time. 00:21:19.111 --> 00:21:22.548 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And then like it said, they walk this really long way to go to 00:21:22.548 --> 00:21:25.684 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% what is necessary to keep their child alive, and then they may 00:21:25.684 --> 00:21:27.720 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% not even be able to get help. 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:31.190 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Randy: Yeah, and fortunately so many have gotten help over the 00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:36.662 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% years, but the reality is I've also been in a situation where, 00:21:36.662 --> 00:21:40.232 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you know, children have died at the clinics because it just took 00:21:40.232 --> 00:21:42.601 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% them too long to get there. 00:21:42.601 --> 00:21:45.838 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% The greatest concern we have right now, as they talked about 00:21:45.838 --> 00:21:49.408 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% in that piece, is that we wouldn't have the supplies 00:21:49.408 --> 00:21:50.943 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% in place. 00:21:50.943 --> 00:21:55.181 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And when a clinic is a last stop to save a child's life, you've 00:21:55.181 --> 00:21:59.151 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% got to have everything you need to make every effort to save 00:21:59.151 --> 00:22:00.486 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% that life. 00:22:00.486 --> 00:22:03.222 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% We need your help. 00:22:03.222 --> 00:22:06.325 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% Children's lives are hanging in the balance. 00:22:06.325 --> 00:22:08.727 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% That's just the reality of the situation. 00:22:08.727 --> 00:22:12.031 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% We do have clinics in many countries. 00:22:12.031 --> 00:22:14.700 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% We have workers there who have dedicated their lives to 00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:16.035 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% helping people. 00:22:16.035 --> 00:22:18.871 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% We have medical professionals in place. 00:22:18.871 --> 00:22:23.776 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% They are giving their whole lives, and so you know, it's a 00:22:23.776 --> 00:22:27.880 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% tough situation, but in a sense, it's a little bit of an honor to 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.817 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% be able to speak up for them and say to you, the viewer, would 00:22:31.817 --> 00:22:34.119 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% you be a part of that? 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.756 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% It's a part of our Mission Feeding program, the clinics 00:22:37.756 --> 00:22:41.493 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% being the last stop, unfortunately, for many, but 00:22:41.493 --> 00:22:44.897 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% also that place where they do finally get the nutrition 00:22:44.897 --> 00:22:46.265 align:start line:63% position:50% size:25% they need. 00:22:46.265 --> 00:22:49.602 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% The Mission Feeding program actually goes into the villages 00:22:49.602 --> 00:22:51.971 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% before they need to go to the clinic. 00:22:51.971 --> 00:22:54.406 align:start line:58% position:50% size:61% And that's why Mission Feeding is so important. 00:22:54.406 --> 00:22:58.777 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Your gift of $30 will help feed 3 children where they're at 00:22:58.777 --> 00:23:00.145 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% for several months. 00:23:00.145 --> 00:23:01.947 align:start line:58% position:47% size:53% A gift of $50 will help feed 5 children, 00:23:01.947 --> 00:23:05.684 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% $100 will help feed 10, $1,000 will help feed 100. 00:23:05.684 --> 00:23:08.153 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% You can see the math there. 00:23:08.153 --> 00:23:13.058 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% It will also fund the clinics which are depleted right now. 00:23:13.058 --> 00:23:16.395 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% And there's been a disruption in a lot of global supplies of 00:23:16.395 --> 00:23:19.999 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% foodstuffs, and there is a little bit of a disarray going 00:23:19.999 --> 00:23:24.403 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% on with global aid and global transportation and things 00:23:24.403 --> 00:23:25.738 align:start line:63% position:50% size:25% like that. 00:23:25.738 --> 00:23:29.341 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% The one consistent thing is our presence through our mission 00:23:29.341 --> 00:23:31.777 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% partners all across Africa. 00:23:31.777 --> 00:23:36.682 align:start line:58% position:50% size:56% But we cannot continue to do it without you. 00:23:36.682 --> 00:23:40.886 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% So my hope, my prayer, is that you would say, "You know what? 00:23:40.886 --> 00:23:42.454 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% I'm gonna do what I can." 00:23:42.454 --> 00:23:47.092 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% When all of us do what we can, it moves mountains. 00:23:47.092 --> 00:23:52.064 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% Mountains of hunger, mountains of malnutrition. 00:23:52.064 --> 00:23:53.832 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% Let's move those today. 00:23:53.832 --> 00:23:55.167 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% We need to hear from you. 00:23:55.167 --> 00:23:56.702 align:start

away, didn't think 00:25:36.902 --> 00:25:38.237 align:start line:10% position:48% size:43% only of yourself. 00:25:38.237 --> 00:25:41.173 align:start line:10% position:50% size:65% You said, I can feed three or five or ten. 00:25:41.173 --> 00:25:43.175 align:start line:10% position:46% size:68% That's the reason that we're able to keep feeding. 00:25:43.175 --> 00:25:46.945 align:start line:10% position:44% size:78% That's the reason we're feeding now in many areas at schools, 00:25:46.945 --> 00:25:49.448 align:start line:10% position:50% size:61% instead of refugee camps where they're dying. 00:25:49.448 --> 00:25:53.519 align:start line:10% position:50% size:75% We're also meeting the crisis need, but we're doing this now 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.355 align:start line:53%

more than 10 here, 00:26:10.469 --> 00:26:13.372 align:start line:10% position:47% size:63% $1,000 would care for 100 for the next few months, 00:26:13.372 --> 00:26:18.177 align:start line:10% position:50% size:65% but $100 will care for 10, $50 will care for 5, 00:26:18.177 --> 00:26:20.078 align:start line:10% position:50% size:41% and $30 dollars will care for 3. 00:26:20.078 -->
