Zoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82496070783?pwd=AdDaXoYRdbdM6lgvIJgFlFxyC1uIr3.1
Brother…
if you feel the war between who you’ve been and who God is calling you to be — you’re not losing.
You’re waking up.
Here is the Spirit Framework we move through today:
• Stillness — where the truth finally surfaces
• Silence — where God cuts through the noise
• Sacrifice — where the false self loses its grip
• Surrender — where your will aligns with His
If you’re tired of carrying the old version of you…
if your ego keeps pulling you back into identities God already freed you from…
if something deeper in your spirit is calling you to step into truth…
You’re the man this brotherhood is built for.
Come stand with men who don’t fake it…
men who sacrifice the old self…
men who release what God never told them to hold…
men who rise in who God actually created them to be.
Join the brotherhood:

Speaker
Good. Now you're really on the spot, Brian. What truth did you hear out of any of it? this Just wondering. there did you Did you hear anything?
00:00:22
Speaker
Well.
00:00:30
Speaker
I think I'll play the student role right now. um i think I'll keep that kind myself because, you know, if wasn't looking for truth, why am I here?
00:00:41
Speaker
That'll work. That'll work. No worries. No worries. Who heard something? Go back. Who heard something?
00:00:50
Speaker
Get anything out of it. Surrender and don't don't don't let the flesh try to justify it or overthink it. yeah That's probably, you know, tying into that with Andy, you know, a if you really look and say, okay, what am I carrying?
00:01:10
Speaker
What am I carrying? Yeah. What distractions am I carrying?
00:01:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. The noise. There's noise. It always noise. The busy, you know, when you look at it, that's where you need to take the knee.
00:01:32
Speaker
Good, Craig. Good, Andy. Yep. Good. What else? Anything? like You can't get revelation from God if you're still hearing all the noise that God told you to silence.
00:01:46
Speaker
You're still cultivating the noise that God told you already to silence. You're never going hear revelation. Yeah, it's tough. this It's simple. God told you to silence this thing, and you're still feeding it, and you're leaning into it.
00:01:58
Speaker
i mean, it says that God, it's a still quiet, it's a whisper, know, You got to be really, really still to be able to hear that revelation. Yep. And that's, that is my experience. There's two, there's a place where God has always kind of tugged me, pulled me along, always been there by his grace. Right, Rob? Like,
00:02:19
Speaker
It's just being in that place like he's always working. But it's interesting, too, because there really is this place. The more that I steal everything, the more I silence all of that, the more I sacrifice whatever we're talking about, the little boy or more, I sacrifice those things more. I step into service of him and denial of myself. There really is these layer pieces where he, you really hear the voice more or you're the knowing more or whatever that is. And so, um, it's interesting.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yeah. Um, maybe I might pitch in and listen, um, you know you talk about, uh, you talk, you talk about stillness and silence and I'm sure Wesley and i talked about this plenty of times at work, but that's,
00:03:15
Speaker
but There's a catharsis to that because
00:03:24
Speaker
you know much like I'm sure everyone else's job is, our job is kind of a controlled chaos. you know You've got at work, you've got this framework that ah if problem A happens, then you have these this algorithm to follow down.
00:03:43
Speaker
Problem B happens, you have this algorithm to follow down. And that makes it pretty easy. You know, that that kind of simplifies a lot of things. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round.
00:03:55
Speaker
Those two values flip, you have a bad day. The heart's not beating, make it beat. If they're bleeding, make them stop. If they're not breathing, make them breathe. It's kind of simple. If you can really keep it like that.
00:04:06
Speaker
But home's not that way. um Life's not that way. um life doesn't have a set of s SOPs. i know that you I know that I would probably have an argument immediately saying that in Christianity that you know the Bible is the SOPs.
00:04:24
Speaker
um And I would agree. i would agree that it's a it's a wonderful set of SOPs that I would hope that more people would probably follow.
00:04:37
Speaker
But it's also... pertinent and relevant to that timeframe in history. And in many ways, um, modern times is vastly different than it was thousands of years ago.
00:04:55
Speaker
And so have to find better ways to I'm sure as, as people who follow the Bible would go to make that applicable to today.
00:05:09
Speaker
um because the world's a lot more chaotic. You don't have the SOPs necessary just sitting around to, uh, thumb through, you you know, whether you're sitting in the grocery store or dealing with, know, this random guy at the intersection, Evan road rage, you know, it's, um,
00:05:40
Speaker
But you you know you were touching on you know having that having that that that silence. And that's something that I think that when I go home is very different because suddenly you know the silence is there. you know The opportunity for silence is there.
00:06:01
Speaker
But a lot of times all I still hear is static. And whether it's not It's not calls going off. It's not things needing to be done, but you finally get an opportunity to sit in silence.
00:06:17
Speaker
And it's like you still have to overcome that static. Whether it's racing thoughts or whether it's your to do list for the day. And.
00:06:29
Speaker
and That's tough. That's tough when you get in this mode of controlled chaos and you finally seek silence and finally when you finally get it, you know' though i don't really know what to do with it. The been closed. The static is still there.
00:06:47
Speaker
The static is still there. static sounds there Yeah, yeah. I you, Brian. they say that That's the hardest part to turn off, man, is to...
00:07:00
Speaker
to get past that noise you know that that's that's truly what he wants he wants your in mind busy so you can't you know realign they say that uh that there's the the quietest room on the planet that these people who probably have a lot more initials that after their last name than i will zeros in the bank account you know that they built this the quietest room on the planet and that the the average human can't sit in it longer than 15 minutes.
00:07:30
Speaker
I want to go to that room so bad. i want my wife to give me that as a blessing, as a Christmas present that she worked to get me in that room. yeah Yeah, I'm going to hit 16 minutes. I'm going to hit 17 minutes. but yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be amazing. Be like, I've done so much work and I'm ah five seconds and I'm done. You know, like you never know, you know, like good job. You got the shortest time ever. Like, you know, I think it's out in Washington.
00:07:59
Speaker
You're right, though. Yeah, yeah. and And, you know, with that, like anybody who's ever gone on a a personal journey and, you know,
00:08:10
Speaker
whatever method that they've chose to use that to go on a personal journey. I'll let you use your imagination. You know, one of the first things that you you have to do is you have to, that the best way to go on some of those types of journeys is just sensory deprivation, blind, deaf. and it's one of the few times that people actually listen to their own personal thoughts with no disturbances, with no interactions. And after a few minutes, the the the static becomes overwhelming.
00:08:52
Speaker
and And then it gets quiet. And then things kind of open up. and then you find out what you're really made of. And know the more...
00:09:03
Speaker
I don't know. And someone else may may be able to at attest to that. But so you end up becoming a passenger. You're just watching the subconscious, the conscious have this conversation and you're just along for the ride.
00:09:14
Speaker
And it's probably one of the most beneficial things that ah that a man can do that most of us never do. Mm hmm. Right.
00:09:26
Speaker
Bro, I hear you that, um, man, that's, that's the word kind of touches on the tethered tethered soul a little bit, you know, where, where you can get in that state of consciousness where you're seeing that conversation, you know, and you're more in like a observing state, yeah you know, that it's not you, you know, which was, um, pretty, pretty cool.
00:09:48
Speaker
and its And it's funny because like a lot, of a lot of times the, this observer, this this passenger ends up trying to control that that particular situation and then it gets pretty dark and you know they they try to step you know maintain this control and and it's it's the only time, the only opportunity, one of the few opportunities you get a chance that to really listen to yourself and what yourself has to say and I don't think self ah has the ability to, the self doesn't scream, it whispers.
00:10:21
Speaker
And if you don't have enough silence, if you don't have that opportunity to take that silence, then you'll never hear what self has to say and you'll never evolve. and and And I didn't up until several years ago when I had that opportunity.
00:10:37
Speaker
And yeah I was like, this is what evolving feels like. All right. So it's, um, I'm going to use that as a, as a segue into something like you're asking that question. Right. And I, and I do, i believe same, same, like what you're saying, taking that Bible, like, oh, we don't have an s SOP here. Let me, you know,
00:10:58
Speaker
um hit you with the Bible and all the scriptures that we, you know, we need to use. I hear you there. What's interesting is I also, sometimes in my life, like, you know, don't think it's happened just by chance. I don't know how you guys, think there's always some kind of divine order that he's trying to teach us, um which is interesting because this morning, um you know, is, if you look on my Facebook, I posted today's the second day,
00:11:28
Speaker
of posting stuff from what was in November. So I went through a ah whole thing in November. um And then now I'm just kind of posting just just deep insights from that experience. So, but I posted today's day two, um the one who speaks within. And um it's interesting because Brian, that's the one that I truly, truly try to, that's why it is the stillness is getting to that place of, of listening to that one you talked about the self, right? Like that, that part is so important. And i am going to use scripture, but it's, it's in this place of confirming the way God works in my life is he doesn't give me a verse. And then I tried to like, use it as a law.
00:12:22
Speaker
There's so many times that he works in my life and all of a sudden the verse comes up and I'm like, that's what you've been doing. Like, it's the only way i understand it. If I try to follow it or do it the other way, it just doesn't work for me. But um like, this is what he's talking about this morning. This is what I posted. It comes from Isaiah 30, 21.
00:12:46
Speaker
whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk in it and so i believe that really is that sop when we really really dial in and then once we are listening to that as well and that's the place that we know that we know that we know then it can get confusing so then confirm it with scripture Um, that's the way he's worked in my life. He tells me to fix this and I'm like, okay.
00:13:22
Speaker
And so I fix it over. Like it takes me, you know, one, two, three, four years to fix it. And then somewhere along the way, he confirms biblically what he's aligning me to.
00:13:34
Speaker
Um, that's just the way. And so the meditation though, I'll still just read the meditation of what I'd done in November, November 2nd.
00:13:44
Speaker
Steal your mind. Close out the clamor of the world.
00:13:50
Speaker
Listen. Not for an external roar, but for the quiet, undeniable whisper. This is the voice of the Spirit, the divine compass within, guiding your every step.
00:14:08
Speaker
See yourself tuning in, discerning the sacred promptings amidst the noise. And I think as we listen to that, we all know this to be true.
00:14:24
Speaker
But then. it gets very confusing because of the static.
00:14:31
Speaker
And then we doubt that the voice is there or whatever it is, right? We get busy and separate. So I just wanted to share that just because you you brought that up and it's already, it's it's for myself today. You know, that's what I meditated on this morning was uh the one who speaks within is what that's what that's titled so thank you brian for for speaking for sharing has anybody else got anything with that or brian you got anything else
00:15:08
Speaker
no i sure mean brian go ahead oh well i do have something quick that um Experientially, I think, you know, it says that the word is alive, active and sharper than any two edged sword. and And and for somebody who.
00:15:30
Speaker
If people don't yet have revelation that the the word is not just a book, but it's actually alive, what other source in life?
00:15:42
Speaker
Points to truth. sometimes as sharp as sometimes as scripture does. And I think like scripture is not just, you know, words in a book or, you know, different things, but it's like set apart as they, you know, even the word scripture, you know, it's somehow it, uh, it's wisdom that goes beyond the source, you know?
00:16:07
Speaker
And for me, times where I've, I've, uh, been going through something in life, scriptures really identify you know there's Chinese Proverbs there's Proverbs there's different things that people can agree with but like how many times in life have you been going through something and then some words match what you're going through and it literally is enough to stop it's more than a coincidence and it stops you in your tracks to go okay
00:16:37
Speaker
I can't deny that, you know, and that source for us is always, you know, in the Bible. You know, I don't I don't have a lot of incoming messages from anywhere else in the world that aligns with my life in those instances. You know, I can't I mean, I I want to if you guys want to share, it you know, has there ever been similar to how scripture kind of.
00:17:02
Speaker
There's a lot of I think that I think you really bring it up one of those things. But like even when you're saying that, right, there's been such a place. You know, and this year I walked through a lot of like just the, I'll call it church, church trauma or whatever. Right.
00:17:20
Speaker
But I mean, life's filled with trauma, but walking through that, there's so many times like, you know, that they use the scripture and you just get so beat down by all of that.
00:17:32
Speaker
So on the other side of my walk, though, same, I resonate with what you're saying on the other side as well. My walk is, is god really broke me open with listening to this if you look at uh there's a verse that i got what is that verse uh second peter chapter one verse five through seven talks about faith and then the next part of that is this is uh is this virtue it's this virtue that he already places in you and listening and connecting to that
00:18:06
Speaker
truth that he drops in there it's interesting because you can find other truths that align with that but if that truth for me in my experience it just goes back to biblical okay it's it's so then now it's just that much easier i just know that it's biblical um to look for me first and that's just been my experience but he had to rock me with do you love truth first And I just, I mean, that's, so in my life, I look for truth. And then all of a sudden I'm like, well, that's exactly the, if I look at that, that's going to be biblical.
00:18:43
Speaker
That's going to be the way Christ acted or would have. Like, it's very easy for me in reality is this peanut brain, nobody to go, hold on. Like, oh, that feels...
00:18:55
Speaker
inside that voice is like, that's, that's right. And I go, okay, well, that's truth. In reality, it's, it's literally, it's, it's truth. Oh no, everybody else is saying it's not. Hold on. Okay.
00:19:06
Speaker
Let me find some biblical stuff. Not what everybody else is saying biblically. Let's find my, like in that biblically, it comes back true for me. That's, that is my experience, Rob. So.
00:19:19
Speaker
Hey, Matt, you have your hand raised, buddy. I don't know if you're wanted to ask a question. You don't have to raise your hand, man. Just speak. Sorry. Yeah, I didn't want to interrupt anybody. um No, i've I've been kind of reflecting on what what had Brian had said um when it came to silence. And i I used to think, um and I think men generally kind of prided themselves on the ability to compartmentalize.
00:19:50
Speaker
um I used to think that you can just turn turn off switches and you stop thinking about certain things. But um i know like I know many men in here have experienced it, but I think I've experienced it i've experienced as well. as like Traumas and a history of traumas will not allow you, if you let it, to sit in silence um because you're constantly thinking of things that are not present.
00:20:20
Speaker
um And then again to to Brian, kind of share in the experience of pre-hospital care um and you're thinking about algorithms and you're thinking of what could go wrong and all of the things that you can do to combat that.
00:20:35
Speaker
um i think that's that's pretty much where I'm at in life in general is you don't turn it off. You just continue to think about it.
00:20:46
Speaker
And I want to say the best way that I've achieved silence is first being present, uh, be present where you're at and, um identifying the things around you.
00:21:00
Speaker
And one of the best ways I've achieved being present where I'm at is out loud, like audible, just prayer, over the word, that, that sort of grounded me into it. And I just wanted to share that piece right there that in order to achieve silence is to first be present and then be present in the word.
00:21:20
Speaker
And I wish I practiced that, what I preach, but that was just something that I've learned. i think it was there was a ah couple of ah videos ago. it It may have, I can't remember which one that it was, but I know that
00:21:40
Speaker
the discussion ended up moving in the direction of being present. And um i think I think that's when I was talking about my batshit crazy mother-in-law who did not disappoint, but um
00:21:59
Speaker
it was one of the few times that I was actively trying to be present and being okay with not being able to you know accomplish some of the tasks for Thanksgiving that I probably normally would have um it's any, I'm, I'm coming to believe it to be true that it's any skills. It's like any other skillset learning whether you're trying to play the guitar or whether you're trying to understand women or you're trying to anything. It's, it's, it's in the practice, you know, so, you know, it your, your purpose creates your passion, your craft, and you know, you have to maintain your presence, you know, and then,
00:22:47
Speaker
it's all in the practice, um, daily. Otherwise i would still be the, the same meth addict that I was when I was 16. I just took two a little longer to evolve. I suppose.
00:23:02
Speaker
Yeah. Hmm.
00:23:07
Speaker
It's good. Thank you, Brian. thank but You know, I mean, you know, I, I, I can still respect, um the Bible for its ability. Well, go back. and And I think anybody who's ever opened a history book or anybody who's ever turned on you know, discovery channel is, has to have come to the conclusion that most of our actions, as far as mankind goes, um, is very cyclic.
00:23:36
Speaker
You know, it it keep it keeps spinning around around. So, you know, if I were to help validate Christians and their beliefs that, uh, The Bible will always be applicable, it will be because mankind has the ability to keep do keep making the same mistakes over over the millennia so maybe we have the ability to learn eventually maybe we'll pick up on that broken record and we'll all just kind of of evolve together but until then probably need some literature.
00:24:08
Speaker
yeah i hoping hadry book In some ways, I think that's funny because it kind of would confirm like if that's what it took, just even at the base level of we've watched and evaluated and the human race is going to continually do these things just even on that level. I mean, it's the only book, the most sold book, the the one that really dials in on all the all the issues that are wrong with the heart, you know, just on on on that deal alone. Yeah.
00:24:36
Speaker
Yeah, people heard people think we cyclic we've come a long way. they They think that we've really changed ah changed over thousands of years, but to be honest with you, we really haven't. We really haven't. We're the same. It's just um it's just different parameters.
00:24:50
Speaker
So anything that can offer some sense of some sense of evolution, some sense of um growing, i can't possibly denounce denounce a person's ability to seek knowledge in that way.
00:25:04
Speaker
It's almost like there's nothing new under the sun. No, never. no Well, hopefully let's step into just so I feel better about myself and and putting this structure together.
00:25:14
Speaker
ah Let's walk like yeah again, nice segue right into it. it's like your heart is attached to all of this. um We won't deny it. let's This part right here. You ready, kurt you Curtis? You on fire? Man, you get about ready to speak the word, the scripture. I am.
00:25:31
Speaker
man, we call it sacred scripture because there's just that part inside of our life. Look and see what you hold is sacred. What is it? you know but From myself, I noticed like most of the people around, they don't hold anything sacred. And that's a...
00:25:45
Speaker
That's tough. that's That's a tough place to be. So today's sacred scripture, we're getting close towards the end. Let's just look at ah a couple of these things because today's sacred scripture, go ahead, Curtis, please, please we read the verse. of Today is Psalm 119, 105, and it reads, your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
00:26:11
Speaker
Good. Can you read it again, please? Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Good. So we've listened to it twice.
00:26:24
Speaker
Just want to prompt you, you know, just see if you can listen to just any part. What is the truth that that you get from this? And possibly what is the voice saying to you? Okay, so go ahead, Curtis, one more time.
00:26:42
Speaker
Your word is a lamp to my feet. and a light to my path
00:26:54
Speaker
okay So brothers, this is the foundation of today. Scripture is the lamp. Scripture is the light. Scripture is what turns the path from confusion into clarity. And so we'll just kind of watch and see how that works.
00:27:11
Speaker
So, um, let's see, like this.
00:27:21
Speaker
Like today is not to get smarter, not to collect verses and definitely not to perform some type of devotion. The heart behind this, the heart posture that i want, want you to hear God. I want you to receive the truth and, and for, for us, like we're seeking to obey, obey direction. Right? So,
00:27:48
Speaker
You know, I want to present that today, Tuesday, is sacred scripture. Today is sacred listening. Today is sacred revelation. um Tuesday is sacred clarity.
00:28:02
Speaker
Tuesday is the moment your spirit... leans into god's whisper okay and so nothing in this brotherhood moves without god's word like really just going back to the truth like is it true that's it is it is it true
00:28:22
Speaker
is it true And so if we could, we're going to end up, I'm going to just do a little bit more and then we're honor and breathe and pray right at the end as we get pretty close. Okay.
00:28:38
Speaker
So I really today, want you to see the difference. Like today is set up to where it's about identity. And next week we're going to host a, like we're putting, we're putting, um, we're anchoring our identity into, uh, the scripture, but this, this, that we put up on the altar this week is more along the lines of, I just want you to think about habits.
00:29:02
Speaker
Next week, we're really going to see you repressed to put what actual identity are you holding on to?
00:29:13
Speaker
Not a habit, not something that's a little bit difficult, not just like this surface level stuff that you're willing to give give up a little bit. That sometimes makes everything scream and fall apart.
00:29:25
Speaker
What are you willing next week to to be even more? And so wanted to prepare your mind and your heart for that. Next week will be more like, hey, you're being called to put an actual identity up there that you identify with, okay?
00:29:40
Speaker
So, Curtis, can you read the verse again, please?
00:29:48
Speaker
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
00:29:57
Speaker
So want to ask you what you got your journal right there. What does the text actually say? What's it saying?
00:30:12
Speaker
Just from like doing this prior insight. Okay. i want to share the word. The word is our our weapon. It's like when I have that part, like if it comes back to truth, like the word doesn't illuminate the entire road. And I want to, I want you to think about your life, right? It doesn't illuminate the whole road.
00:30:34
Speaker
Just the next step. And that next step, God leads in obedience and not overwhelmed. Okay. And I want you to think about like how the lamp is to your path. Even when the sun rises in the morning, it's a lighting your path for the day.
00:30:55
Speaker
And then that day will be put to death. So we are in constant practice, man. You got this lamp that lights the path. You don't see your full life just from one day. So in that same way, it lights the path.
00:31:09
Speaker
Okay, and then think about, you know, what is it if you just close your eyes and didn't have the lights or what if you didn't turn on the lights, but you walked into a dark room. It's pretty difficult to walk around.
00:31:22
Speaker
so So what is the truth that guide your path? and And if we can find those truths that guide our past path, like we can build those principles in our life itself. If you set boundaries, principles, have those those SOPs like inside that align and they align with the voice.
00:31:44
Speaker
The voice is the one that's telling those things. You'll be able to check your heart and go, which one? Hold on. Am I supposed to go against this? Okay. And that's brings us into wisdom. So we got the word.
00:31:57
Speaker
something of principles, of truth, of that, what is the wisdom that you're hearing? So, what truth does this reveal about God?
00:32:10
Speaker
You hear anything?
00:32:15
Speaker
Yeah. Go ahead. So, for me, it was kind of more of a, like you think of the light of a lamp, like it's not blinding LEDs like you'd see at Walmart that just light up everything. It's more of a gentle glow and it's like the closer you are to it, the more that light will encompass you and the more you'll be able to see.
00:32:45
Speaker
heard, so instantly I thought that our feet are a foundation, our base. the light, the lamp is at our feet.
00:32:58
Speaker
So the word has to be the foundation that will light that path, you know, that will light our walk in life. oh I think it's so great. I mean, it's God working the way how this whole said this whole segue kind of started, you know, even Brian bringing up the how cyclical human beings are, but just coming back to the word and not to just make it sound kind of like talking scripture, but you know, what is that word?
00:33:36
Speaker
What is that truth that I'm going to walk in for me? Right. Like a specific one, because we're, we all have our different things that we struggle with, but if there is something that can help me navigate that,
00:33:51
Speaker
you know, is it at my feet? Is it my foundation? Or i and in the moment where I hear the voice of, let's just say the voice of the flesh. I hear doubt. I hear not being enough cups start to come up again.
00:34:08
Speaker
can and you Can I turn back to that and just remember like, no, this is what God is. Can I make that part of my identity make it come back and do it in such a way that it almost outweighs the the loudness of the lie.
00:34:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:35
Speaker
Okay. I got something a little bit different for me. It's the, the, the revelation on how God wants us to be dependent on him. Like, i it's funny how you can grow up in the church and like hear scriptures all the time. And then, you know, 20, 30 years later, you know, you hear and you go, oh shoot, that's what it means. Or somebody explains it. And I heard the verse that says, ah blessed are those who are poor in spirit. Right.
00:35:03
Speaker
And I never really understood it until probably a couple weeks ago or something when somebody explained it to me. And it was like, you know, if you, if a person is poor, right. they're they're dependent on another source for their meal. They're dependent on another source for for their shelter. They're just dependent on, you know, and a lot of times, most times, people in those situations, day by day, hour by hour,
00:35:25
Speaker
So I think the same thing, you know, with the lamp to our feet, you know, like you're saying, like he designed that on purpose. There's a lot of people that set their own goals and they come hell or high water. They they reach those goals and then they're empty.
00:35:37
Speaker
you know, and God was like, that's like you're way off track. Like that wasn't like you went down some rabbit hole. Like you didn't even follow my next step. All all I wanted you to do is follow the next step. And yeah. You know i think as men, it's tough because, you know, we want to be in control and we don't want to necessarily. we We're not really wired in that way. But, you know, the like we talked about, the kingdom of heaven is upside down and backwards. And God in that verse just shows me like God wants me to be dependent on him for every everything, every step. You know, it's it's tough, though.
00:36:13
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just framing that out and you just kind of gave me the last part of that frame. It's, um, man, to be dependent on him.
00:36:26
Speaker
It's, um, it's that place. Like, as I was just, when I was at that first place, like you know, we all have our own life, right? And that's that part we're all finding what is that principle that Andy is going to have to embrace to, for him. And when he embraces that, it radically changes his life. He tells everybody else they need to like radically use this principle. And you're like,
00:36:51
Speaker
I get it, but mine's a little bit different, so it doesn't make sense as the intensity of what it is. We all have our path. um But like, it's interesting. I feel inside there's that voice that I know that I know through the years. I feel that it points me to truth.
00:37:07
Speaker
i My experience is that it has always been speaking truth. Don't do that, dum-dum. Like, let's like don't don't touch that flame again. And I'm like, nah.
00:37:18
Speaker
yeah And so I go into the struggle part of that. Like, you know, i want the same you're talking about. I've wanted control. I've wanted, and I chose my path. i I chose that.
00:37:33
Speaker
And I chose not truth. And it destroyed my life. And when I chose what I thought was true, it was what culture was teaching me, you know, all the time, which is opposite of what the spirit is.
00:37:47
Speaker
And what I learned is when I chose that over what was the prompting of the integrity, the character that God had placed in me, that was that was that was me.
00:38:00
Speaker
And when I say, what am I gonna sacrifice? I'm going to sacrifice me and what I did. And then I go, huh, what is always making my life better? The things that actually he placed inside that voice that has aligned with truth.
00:38:16
Speaker
I'm like, hmm, well, what else is true then? like Right? And so I sacrificed that old self over and over and over just so I can depend on him, man. My services, I depend on, I say him, but um i want I depend on The truth, I depend on the principles he's through the hard ways has shown me that are true.
00:38:43
Speaker
And when I didn't choose those, wasn't choosing him. I wasn't choosing truth. And my way was wrong. I choose truth. My life changes men. And so I am dependent on ah truth.
00:38:59
Speaker
What else we got? I got, I got one little thing guys and I got to run, but you I look at it like, you know, kind of like a metaphor, you know, and building on, you kind of what Curtis was talking about, but you know, if you have a lamp, all right, right. Not like a bright led, but you have that lamp and you're, or a fire.
00:39:23
Speaker
Okay. You have a fire that night. The predators are on the outskirts of that light. You can see their eyes. Right.
00:39:34
Speaker
But you're in the light. They don't come into the light because you're stepping into that light. You're stepping into that alignment. That glow protects your, you know, your six and you're moving forward.
00:39:48
Speaker
Right. So.
00:39:51
Speaker
That's how you move with the light. that's what I think that's what the scriptures tells me is that, hey, as you're stepping into the light and you take these steps, that light, that glow goes with you to help ward off the predators looking at you from the dark. Because as soon as you let that dark in, they're going to come. That's the weak spot. that's the That's what predators do. They don't attack the strong.
00:40:15
Speaker
They attack the weak. They attack the isolated.
00:40:20
Speaker
That's what it meant to me. That's good. That's good. Does it, does it also like when we're talking about that, like experientially, what is that place for you then?
00:40:30
Speaker
Well, I mean, I think that's why i just i think that's why a lot of us are here, right? You start your day to step into the line. We call it chasing alignment, but it's stepping into the line. What are we, what are we doing? A lot of us are getting up or working out.
00:40:45
Speaker
We're keeping our body strong as much as we can. Right. We come together as men at Brotherhood. yeah We talk about scripture. you know We talk about things that are bothersome in our life to help keep us strong. And then what do we do? We get off of here and then hopefully you don't check out the rest of the day and go right back to sedating or whatever. Hopefully some of this lingers in your mind like, oh, you know what? Hey, I am going to make an effort to you know whatever today.
00:41:12
Speaker
you know sure so i for For me, it's important. Because it's easy to get out. It's easy to get out. And I'm telling you, there's, I mean, you know, I know you guys know, man, there's a constant attack for your soul.
00:41:31
Speaker
There is a constant attack from that dark with those eyes looking at you and everything you face out in the day. Yeah. Experientially, i think we all hopefully that resonates with something.
00:41:42
Speaker
We've all been. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Man, Craig, that's cool, brother. um this as we close just some of these. So we got the word, we got wisdom, we got worship work, which, and then the worship and the work is, is what it is.
00:42:00
Speaker
They're there together. And then the wealth, it creates wealth. So want to touch on wisdom. The wisdom that's coming from this verse is like, if you see, it's not your feelings, it's not your fear.
00:42:13
Speaker
Uh, It's not your assumptions. Okay. God, God guides through if through truth. Okay. And so being able to to do that, we're able to test.
00:42:24
Speaker
Hold on. Am I following my feelings? Of course. I mean, I know you guys don't follow your feelings, but you know, everybody else outside this group does. So, you know, and and there's no men that have any fear inside of them that drives them in any direction. But when you look at other men, make sure like, you know, it's not fear when we have truth and that can keep us from, oh, oh, now I see where the fear is in there.
00:42:52
Speaker
And it's not absence of fear to be courageous. It's like the fear is there and I can be courageous. And then, you know, what what are the assumptions like that? The truth will just go ahead and knock out of the way.
00:43:03
Speaker
Um, the worship, um, You know, really the worship it's my response, my response. I want to be surrender. Uh, the lamp is his, the steps are mine. And I think that's kind of what Andy's really touching on, you know, it's this obedience in the work we can worship him. Oh, praise. Hallelujah. I love you. Hang out with him. Awesome. It's great.
00:43:28
Speaker
Honor him with that. But then turn your worship into into work, into obedience, into like, okay, I'm a boy and this is awesome. And I'm hanging out with my father and then I'm going to go out. And he's like, there you go, my son. Like go and create, go and and do your work, right? Work was created before the fall.
00:43:50
Speaker
And so that's where a lot of that is. So worship becomes work Like when obedience becomes movement, the verse doesn't say in the heart, it says shapes the step like it shapes what he's doing.
00:44:06
Speaker
So work is your revelation becoming action and your feet carry out what your spirit receives. OK, and this part where we end it kind of with the wealth, what is the wealth like?
00:44:19
Speaker
How does this direction increase? My spiritual How does this increase my emotional? How does this truth and create increase my relational wealth today? Whatever that wealth is and those things, these insights, these truths, these revelations that that are coming, that you're listening to the voice and being able to do that and going, okay, is that true? oh man, it is true.
00:44:52
Speaker
It brings like the wealth insight part is really clarity is wealth. Brother, my life just from not doing drugs to where I am now, that's a miracle for a one.
00:45:10
Speaker
For me, I know that's a divine miracle. I know me. It took truth after truth after truth for me to all align my desires and my heart with him, with the integrity that I have. So clarity is, is, is wealth.
00:45:24
Speaker
And if you can stay in that direction is wealth and obedience expands that wealth. So obedience inside of these truths that we're hearing inside of these principles that are revealed inside of this,
00:45:42
Speaker
So these four, the four W's that that we're gonna be going over and over and over, I really wanted to present those today again in a different way. That is like, it really starts being like, I'm not my little pea shooter deal. This can end up being your BFG, you know?
00:46:01
Speaker
it's It's the gun, dude. It's all of it. And it increases. And the more you do truth, the word, and you turn that into wisdom, and you're like, oh.
00:46:14
Speaker
And you turn that into worship. Praise the Lord, you just dropped this in my soul. and then I turn that into work, and it becomes wealth. Now the wealth ends up becoming the bigger gun again. And then now instead of serving yourself, you increase your calling. Okay.
00:46:38
Speaker
So if you get a chance, we'll close this out. When you get a chance, listen to the, the sacred scripture piece. Um, the, the, in there, inside of a school, go into the classroom, go into the school.
00:46:53
Speaker
And then today I've done those really long, fancy names that you can copy and paste that are hashtagged. But if you all do that same hashtag, if you ever type that in, you'll be able to see, we'll be able to see everybody's revelation straight from God right into their soul, out of their own mouth into the video.
00:47:16
Speaker
It'll bless us. Okay. So um that's why those hashtags are there. I know they're long, but they will dial ah everything in. Okay. One minute, 30 seconds.
00:47:29
Speaker
Like who's got something? There we go. Right on. um this is the like i'm I'm good to close it out if we're good there. yes yeahp Perfect. so Let's go ahead take it in.
00:47:45
Speaker
Now.
00:47:50
Speaker
In.
00:47:55
Speaker
Out.
00:48:01
Speaker
One more time. In.
00:48:07
Speaker
out.
00:48:12
Speaker
Father, we're coming to you on our um worship scripture day. ah Verse being in Psalm 119, 105, your word is the Lamb to my feet and a light to my path. And Father, I just, I wanted to share, want to kind of direct into a little bit of further reading that that I feel like can potentially become a prayer, at least for me, directly out of your word. And so,
00:48:36
Speaker
I think in the closing prayer, 113 to 120.
00:48:41
Speaker
I hate the those who are double-minded, but I love your law. You're my hiding place and my shield. I wait for your word. Depart from me, evildoers, that I may observe the commandments of my God.
00:48:53
Speaker
Sustain me according to your word and I may live. And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Uphold me that I may be safe, that I may have regard for your statutes continually.
00:49:03
Speaker
You have rejected all those who wander from your statutes for their deceitfulness is useless. You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore, I love your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of you.
00:49:16
Speaker
And I'm afraid of your judgment. Lord, i just ask that you keep us all grounded. I'm thankful keep us all grounded and keep us reminded of this. Strengthen us through our day. Remind us that our hiding place or you are, you are hiding place. You're our shield.
00:49:32
Speaker
And we will be obedient. We'll be still until we have confirmation from you. In Jesus name.
00:49:46
Speaker
you well Beautiful. That was, that was awesome to be able to just pray that right in, man. yeah That's good. good If anybody feels like you you want to want to get off, like, you know, we intentionally wanted to, I wanted to be able to close that out to honor you.
00:50:05
Speaker
But the same, I don't know. Has anybody got anything? i got i got something. Let's go, Rob. So experientially, okay, i I did not come to know the Lord from the word.
00:50:21
Speaker
from us from uh from preaching from church from anything and so in the in the scriptures it talks about every knee in the end every knee shall bow every tongue could confess that jesus is lord and jesus also talks of himself he sees the truth the life and the way and he also is the light of the world and while i was and I was a kleptomaniac when I was younger and I was actually on house arrest. and I couldn't go 50 feet outside my front door.
00:50:53
Speaker
the The word and the truth became alive. God actually met me where I was at and it and it confirms in the word. So like this is what I talk about experientially.
00:51:03
Speaker
I did not have any other source that met me with the experience that I had. I mean, the Lord literally... ah stopped me in my tracks in the middle of a road one time and made himself so real to me um that it was undeniable.
00:51:20
Speaker
And in the word I found after, it says that while I was still yet a sinner, Christ died for me and he loves me. And so the word this morning is really hits home because A light unto my path is is is, I think of like light and darkness, right? Like it's dark around and a light in my path, but your word is a lamp unto my feet.
00:51:45
Speaker
A lamp is so much more intimate and so much smaller than a light, right? And so when I did not have direction in my life, and if I did not have ah even purpose and I couldn't, because of my own actions, I could not go 50 feet out my front door.
00:52:01
Speaker
um You know, I recently heard a song that said, um the rock bottom is a firm foundation, right? And the fact that, you know, when when we have such a ah life experience and hopefully it's our ourselves, when we come to the end of ourselves, when we hit rock bottom, when we're in the pit, we we are we are not self-sufficient. We don't have it all together. we don't we don't We're not self-made men.
00:52:29
Speaker
I think the Lord uses those opportunities to allow us to meet him, you know, because it's not I that it came to Christ as Christ came to me. You know, he met me when and I wasn't looking for him at all. I was going to rob fruit stands. I was, I was robbing people. i was taking credit cards. I was not up to any good. And I wasn't looking for God at all.
00:52:52
Speaker
And when I was in a place where I was, couldn't go outside my own front door because of my own decisions, He met me and he started speaking to me. And so like that scripture aligns with the experience that I experience. And it's literally, I can't find any other source in life, maybe a book or, or, or, or a good YouTube video or, or something, you know, but a lot of people look for truth, you know, in life, they're even called truth seekers. You know, they'll go all different ways. They'll find religion, and they'll find, you know,
00:53:25
Speaker
Buddhism and Muslims and and and Hinduism and all these things, right, to try to find to try to find truth outside themselves. And what I found is all those other religions have asked us to die for them, right?
00:53:40
Speaker
But only one died for me. Only one came and found me when i when I was still yet a sinner. And and so it's just like, then scripture allowed me to have, it's just like, it's kind of like a source evidence. Like scripture is, after that scripture to me became a source evidence of everything I was already experiencing. I was already experiencing Christ.
00:54:02
Speaker
I was already experiencing the truth, the way, the light, all that, you know? And so I, for anybody who, you know, maybe wanting the truth first,
00:54:15
Speaker
um you know, I would ask, are you at rock bottom? You know, are are, is, is life, are, you know, his life handed you, you know, have you come, have you come to the end of yourself, you know? So I just, I just want people to know that because anybody who knows me knows that I love the Lord my whole heart, but it didn't come,
00:54:34
Speaker
from a Christian background or anything. Like I i and didn't go to church. I mean, I didn't have any any foundation other than the firm foundation was my rock bottom and Christ met me where I'm at and now he's my foundation.
00:54:50
Speaker
Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you, Rob, for sharing that, which Matt, I'm going to, I'm going ask you like to just, I mean, Rob just paved the way, uh, he laid it all out there. So, um, if you could just share Matt, any, any truth that you got today, what you heard, what your experience here was, any of that, um,
00:55:14
Speaker
Um, I took like small notes. I mean, like there's, there was, there was a bunch of stuff that, i mean, i think touched everyone today. um and mine actually came from the video, um, was that we are already connected to this covenant.
00:55:39
Speaker
Um, and that we weren't, um, you know, that we, that we were assigned this and, and this actually just goes to what he was just talking about. It's like, you were, you're, you're already in it. You're already a part of it. It's just a matter of what are you going to do with it?
00:55:55
Speaker
Um, and that kind of resonated with me. That kind of struck me and the, in the pride and in the ego is like, what, what am I doing with it on a daily basis? If I'm, if I've already been called to the table, if I've already been invited, um,
00:56:10
Speaker
what am I doing with it and that's just what I'm kind of sitting with right now and just kind of chewing on good
00:56:22
Speaker
that's good yeah there can be a lot in the day but take like that one piece and just hold on to that and hopefully hold on to it all day and maybe all week and possibly all month.
00:56:37
Speaker
And if you're a knucklehead like me, it takes a year, two years, three years, four years to radically transform my life. But yeah, thank you for sharing.
00:56:52
Speaker
Sean, what you got, brother?
00:56:57
Speaker
Yeah, this is my favorite thing. This is about the split decision. It's always about your choice for me. You know, the lamp into your feet light into your path.
00:57:14
Speaker
The word is so beautiful and gentle and poetic and um amazing, but it's also visceral and like Rob was saying, live. And it's so funny when we have choices, if you'll give that reflection and go, hey, man, I don't know what to do here. I know what I've done. i know what I want to do but I don't know really what God wants me to do.
00:57:39
Speaker
It's wild how it always reminds me of a Bible verse. It's like something comes back to... a Bible verse to make sense of it. It's like, you know, when you, when, when shit hits the fan you you resort to your highest level of training and I'm, it's the same thing when, when everything's going kind of haywire and it doesn't necessarily need to be dramatic, but in your mind, I don't know what to do.
00:58:07
Speaker
God, what do you want me to do? Or how do I get through this thing? if i'll If I'll shut down a little bit of my mind and just try to quiet down, it's amazing how quick the Bible will come.
00:58:20
Speaker
And then it's just a matter of will. Do I want to do what God wants me to do now? you know That's the beautiful part about the light into your your feet, and lamp into your feet and a light into your path. For me, it's been amazing.
00:58:37
Speaker
to see that split decision where before I would do aftermath calculations like, oh man, there I go, blew it again. and now there's a difference. There's a fence between it where I can still see through, get through, but there is at least a little bit of a barrier of choice where I can say, okay, is this really what I need to do? Is this really what you want me to do?
00:58:57
Speaker
is this really how I'm supposed to handle that? And then he'll show something to me. And I know it's, I know it's the, the, The beginning of ah of of a bigger thing where the Lord keeps is revealing more and more of me to me and helping me see more and more of him in the world and things from his perspective because of the word, because I'm giving him that option. And he's granting because of that small little obedience. He's like, all right, but and then blows away a lot of the doubt, you know, probably all of it, but I can't accept all of it. So I just take a little bit and I'm like, all right, that's good enough. Now I can do it. I can do it.
00:59:37
Speaker
And um yeah, you know, it's encouraging to hear everybody saying, you know, what it means to them that this is, you know, it's about choice, basically.
00:59:49
Speaker
And so, yeah, I'm encouraged most by that. I like coming back down to the brass tacks. It's where the rubber hits the road. It's where I have to stay humble. That's where I go to stay humble is in my choice, my split decision choice. Am I perfect there? Nope. So no need to get all pride, prideful and rowdy. and
01:00:12
Speaker
Yep. The word, man. Isn't that great? Isn't that crazy, though? Like, we are we're three parts, right? Body, soul, and spirit. and They say our soul is our mind, will, and emotions.
01:00:25
Speaker
But, like, think about, like like, that. Like, how is scripture, you know, what's different and about scripture? And is in it aligns with truth, and the and the word is sharper. You know, it's alive and active, right?
01:00:38
Speaker
Our spirit is the only thing that really responds to truth. You know, like our body, you know, we we we got to train that in our soul, our mind, will and emotions. God gave us free will and he just wants us to give it back. And and our emotions can connect and and feel and and all these things. But it's like our spirit, you know, the same power that raised Christ from the dead is what respond responds to scripture, responds to truth, responds to like,
01:01:09
Speaker
What is that? You know, like there'll be some some things like I'll listen to ah a song or or hear a word and I'm not really maybe paying attention that much or I'm driving and all of a sudden something will jump out and my spirit is like,
01:01:22
Speaker
What is that? You know, he like grabs it, you know, and it it's the spirit in us, you know, and so that that right there also points to truth, you know, in the scripture that it's alive and active and and it aligns with the Lord, you know.
01:01:35
Speaker
So i want to go back. It is beautiful. So let's let's expand on that just a little bit. i So this is what's interesting and we can start like, I don't know, like I'm being a lot more intentional about, oh, maybe the framework.
01:01:50
Speaker
So I wanna to see, did, okay, Jake's right there. Somebody clicked off. I didn't see Jake. and What Sean shared, was that awesome?
01:02:05
Speaker
Yes. What happened? What did he share? Just being in the word. I just all kind of breathe about, you know, I can't remember right there at the end, but like having this certain response.
01:02:19
Speaker
uh they just and then he he took a second and kind of breathed and was like yeah it's awesome it just it's it's the reaction it's the the coming back to the word and knowing that it can kind of guide it it yep yeah man yeah so it's good like same so the way that rob is talking about the grabbing a hold of it like i love that when i ask you men like in the look in there you have several options within the um
01:02:51
Speaker
know the sacred strikes or whatever on when you look at a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, there's three options in there. First one remember Rob when we used to do it here. What's your truth for the day we used to do that for years and years and years right remember? Yeah, yeah.
01:03:07
Speaker
like what is uh oh i didn't even get a truth today ah my brain was completely shut off don't don't know i don't right you know and then the next step of brain being completely off is your brain on but like listening what is your truth what resonates for today what was that right and then this next step if you watch and see it's interesting because like I was listening to Sean and so it's important. I mean, it's super important to like, you know, make sure that you take notes on what I say.
01:03:42
Speaker
You know, no, it's not. Take notes on what other people say as well, men. Not just what you get, but what's beautiful, what's happening here. If you're showing up here, if you take what what these other men are dropping in. And it's interesting. What did you say, Sean?
01:03:59
Speaker
Like, sum it up. What'd you say? The Bible becomes the barrier in choice. The choice becomes alive because God gives you the freedom in the word.
01:04:15
Speaker
Cool. Good man. The word is good. The word is, I think, though think there's when I listened to what he's doing. If I let, if I'm, if I'm paying, I'm listening to him and I'm jotting those things down.
01:04:28
Speaker
Like John, did you know that you put it in framework? I had no clue. Okay. This is how good God is. Okay. in Well, your process and your work, Raylan, supports scripture. And that's why it's spirit led. And that's why it's working.
01:04:46
Speaker
Even though we don't know know it. First one is frame, right? Like we're going to frame. Okay. He says, love, like love this word. That's says the whole thing of what he's going to point out right here.
01:04:58
Speaker
Love, love the word, right? What's he say? What's the next one from frame? If we do fire frame, Rick, we're doing fire frame. It's frame it. What's the next one?
01:05:11
Speaker
Frame it. Either face it or feel it. I can't remember. Feel it. Feel it, right? Frame it. I want to frame it. Yep. This is our fire frame. This is our battle reference. This is us getting ready for war. This is stepping into the war zone. Okay.
01:05:26
Speaker
He, he framed it. He said, love this. He loves this. What's he love. he He said he loves the word for a second. I thought he meant chase and alignment, but really, you know, he meant, he meant the word same thing. Same thing. yeah So it's the word he loves the word, right?
01:05:46
Speaker
Feel it. Remember what he said for feel?
01:05:53
Speaker
The word is visceral.
01:05:57
Speaker
Right? Man. Like, can you feel that? Okay. What's the one after feel?
01:06:08
Speaker
Face it. Face it. Face it. Right. You remember what he said for face it?
01:06:18
Speaker
The choice. There's, there's a, the Bible becomes the, basically the, it, it de decides the choice. Yup. Good. Good. he He said, is this what I am supposed to do? Yup.
01:06:31
Speaker
Yeah. And you like accept it. Yup. Yup. Good. And then his service to, to live this out. What's his service.
01:06:44
Speaker
Aaron with others, the will. It's interesting, he will affect more people if he does what he says rather than trying to affect other people. For what Sean spoke, if he would take and sit with this, he said not rowdy.
01:07:05
Speaker
Or maybe it's just for me, Sean. Thank you. Yeah, no, it's me. Okay. No drama. He just framed that up. So whether the same, the Lord will lead and you need to frame up what's happening in your life, which that's the way I'm actually doing a lot of my work right now. I'm just letting you know, i I already am doing something that annoys the crap out of me that I'm not being able to do. So I frame it up.
01:07:32
Speaker
There's something that I'm feeling with inside and I'm like, man, what the heck is this all about? You know, there's this struggle of this, this thing that I know inside my heart, but I can't even communicate what he's drawing me to. I know it.
01:07:48
Speaker
I can feel it. He's taken me like in that direction. I, I know where he's taking me, but it is very hard to even communicate it right now. It's almost non-communicable, but that's who I am. I just, it's difficult for me.
01:08:03
Speaker
That is the struggle where I'm at right now and trying to wrestle with all of that. The service right now is just obedience and doing what I've what i've been taught to do. That's that's all i'm do I'm just, and then as I've been taught like the framework, I'm implementing it. So it's the obedience in that. There's no like, oh, now I'm gonna go you know, what'd Sean say the other day, like gonna go Habitat for Humanity or whatever, you know? Like everybody, like that's the beginning. They're like, oh, I'm getting fired up. I need to go back to church.
01:08:37
Speaker
like Okay, cool. But how about we just keep this hope and build it into a faith that you can actually stay established and centered and just be this for a while, right? It doesn't have to be yet about Habitat for Humanity.
01:08:55
Speaker
It can. Okay. Awesome, Sean. So if you need to do the framework in reverse to be able to see where you're at,
01:09:08
Speaker
It frames it up awesome. And then those videos that I do, it's not because all of a sudden I had this beautiful revelation. Oh, look at this stuff that I'm doing with this framework. It's like, no, I'm an idiot and I have to do, i just got that from Rick.
01:09:25
Speaker
Thank you, Rick. and Rick was saying that yesterday. um Look at how we wear off on each other. the This place, like ah it's, you know, it's me doing the work and then I just present it to you of this is a snapshot of me.
01:09:44
Speaker
I'm sharing it with you, but brother, it's for me. Okay. That framework will will help you do the work. I'm not just trying to put weight on you, which is the video from the beginning. Mm-hmm.
01:09:59
Speaker
Right? Because that's so what we all want to do. i I'm busy enough, man. Okay.
01:10:06
Speaker
Okay. What do you hear? What do you hear? What do you got Hey, Sean, could you drop that little nugget of gold, like, in the school app or something like that? What?
01:10:19
Speaker
what What are you talking about? Like, your whole thing you just talked about. Like, you had that Oh, the struggle with the word. Yeah. Yeah, like just drop the quotes from that, like that you're spitting out.
01:10:34
Speaker
Drop that in school. Really good. Want to be able to look back on that again. Man, awesome. Yeah, i'll try to I'll try to do that. What a blessing, dude, that we get to be an encouragement to each other. You guys fire me up, man. I dropped that. I finally posted that video you guys were talking about yesterday, yesterday after our meeting.
01:10:55
Speaker
And it's funny because I don't think I would have done it if I didn't have this group encouraging me. I wouldn't, I don't think I'd be the man that God is, I wouldn't have the vision that I want to have of my, that I have of my life. I wouldn't have,
01:11:12
Speaker
it just wouldn't be. This group is understated, which I'm thankful for. It's like having a really good restaurant that only has four tables. You don't want to tell everybody about it. um But the converse is true here as well, that the more that we live it, the more that we are this, the more they're gonna come.
01:11:33
Speaker
And um man, I'm just stoked that there's new guys coming and this is turning into something. Three years ago, guys, it was like me and Ray and and Andy. And you know there's been some renditions of this, but man, the fact that I'm encouraging it all, it's just blessing my soul.
01:11:52
Speaker
It's just blessing my soul, man.
01:11:56
Speaker
It's calming. It's soothing. It's healing. It's an unbelievable experience to be with this group. You guys are blowing me away, man. It's amazing. Yeah, man. And it's not, it's not the group.
01:12:09
Speaker
It's not the group. The spirit. Literally, it is. It is. There's something that keeps changing in whatever the iterations are. And this one right here can be can be felt through the internet.
01:12:24
Speaker
Each one of you in the where that you're at. Jeremy, I wasn't just saying to just just tell you in reality that that that somehow, you know, this is this is the way I want you to act and respond. There was something different about you that could be felt.
01:12:42
Speaker
That that's what like you don't get up. I promise you I've said this before, but I promise you, I already know this. You don't have to tell me. I know you don't get up early in the morning to come and listen to me talk.
01:12:55
Speaker
There's something that our soul is hungry for. And it's not happening in these other places that we really actually go. Like we we want to be there. We're encouraged. We love the people.
01:13:06
Speaker
But there's something that can be felt here that is continue. And it's hard for me to put into words. But I also am encouraged by that vibrational part that I can feel that Rick's on fire.
01:13:21
Speaker
Yeah. I'm on fire that I can have a conversation now in, in reality with Rob, even through text message, be totally misunderstood.
01:13:32
Speaker
And there's resistance and Rob's willing and going, Hey, okay. Like let's, and then we talk and then we like, bro, like I feel this place where Rob is like him and I, and just the spirit and just like, it's, it's like, it's never been before.
01:13:51
Speaker
while.
01:13:54
Speaker
Her is like stepping into this man of this.
01:14:01
Speaker
I spoke it over. i think I might have offended him last year.
01:14:06
Speaker
but like I see it's been revealed like Kerr is this leader that he doesn't see himself. Like and
01:14:19
Speaker
He is a big, powerful man with a calling on his life. And I can see it last year when I told him, you remember Kurt? Curtis, remember?
01:14:31
Speaker
ah We've had so many conversations. The one that I was probably too overly direct was sitting at Savannah table, at the at the table in Savannah. It was overly like, I see there is a calling. You are you way more powerful in this world than you give yourself credit for it.
01:14:51
Speaker
It was, I remember that conversation and I remember like it was shortly after that that I took a break from this and it was like,
01:15:09
Speaker
I don't know how, like, it's gonna sound weird to say it, but like, that shit scared me. it's just And all like, a little intimidating, which.
01:15:22
Speaker
Yeah, here's the thing that's scary though. Here's what's scary. I have to touch on this. Rob, we all have our paths.
01:15:30
Speaker
Here's the thing. Rob, just questioning, we can't go back and change reality, but if you would have invested What was it? I think 65 or $7,500, $7,500 with us.
01:15:45
Speaker
And you came along with us on that path. The question that I would ask that came up like the instant that you told me it wasn't judgment. It was just like, man, I just wonder what the difference would have been if Rob would have been with us as a group versus having to do a year outside of his own home in another apartment, going to jail.
01:16:14
Speaker
You know, and kind of like me, you know, it was there for a while. It was like i was on the outside looking in, like i was still on the groups on Facebook. I was still, you know, like a voyeur watching, watching. And it was like, you know, my wife and I would have conversations and she could see it in me.
01:16:40
Speaker
And she's like, do you miss it? Yeah, there's, there's definitely times I miss it, you know? And it's like, I just, then when you guys got the school app and we're starting all that and it's like, okay, I'm, I'm going back in.
01:16:59
Speaker
I need to do this. And it's like, like you said, like I, it was like a year that I was off of it. You know, it wasn't participating. I wasn't working.
01:17:15
Speaker
And even just from, and don't think it was October 1st that I started back up, but it was somewhere around there. Even just from October 1st to December 1st, just two months, the difference, the focus, the drive, the the love, the patience, all the things that I need to step into that role and be the man that I'm supposed to be. Like even just that two months, it's grown and it's like, okay, how weak am I? Because I didn't work that for 12 months.
01:17:58
Speaker
And that's, yeah. Like I, when we met in Savannah, I got scared and I used the excuse, man, it's,
01:18:09
Speaker
six grand like holy shit that's a lot of money i don't know what you know and then instantly making the excuse well i can't do that i there's no way like i don't know how i could afford that so and instead of doing that work you know and spending six grand and continuing on the work i separated myself and made excuses and went and bought a dirt bike.
01:18:42
Speaker
Still fishing in Seoul. How much did that cost? How much was a dirt bike? dirt bike was five grand. So, i mean, it was a thousand less, you know, like maybe if the price would have been five grand, maybe I could have afforded it really. I hear you. I hear you. No, but, and it's so weird though, because like the way things play out and stuff, like,
01:19:06
Speaker
for a while, like I, I regretted my choices and stuff and things kind of come back around, you know, and it's like now, you know, I've got a dirt bike, my boys got a dirt bike and that's something we do together and stuff, you know, so it's like, even Sonny was mad when I bought the dirt bike. It's like, you know, that is completely, it's a toy.
01:19:34
Speaker
It's something I did not need. you know, et cetera and stuff. But, you know, things have a way of working out. And like, she was a little mad at first. And then once Daxon got a new dirt bike and him and I go riding together, she pulled me aside one day and she's like, I got admit, when we first got the dirt bikes, I was pissed. Like, we don't need that in our lives. But now when I see you index and Daxon leave and you go together to do that, it really warms my heart.
01:20:02
Speaker
Yeah. You know? And so it's like, okay, I took my break. I focused on worldly things, you know, bought my toy instead of investing that money in myself.
01:20:18
Speaker
And so it's like, okay, learn from your mistakes. Don't, you know
01:20:26
Speaker
you know, go back to what you need to do, not what you want to do. Yeah. No, it's beautiful. I think it's beautiful to be able to take those times with our family. We have to, I mean, this life goes, goes fast, but at the same time, no men, like the work that we do here to, to pass on to Daxton as well, this work, if he knows how to navigate and he sees you navigate reality in this way, and you change on a vibrational to, to those things, that calling that other men can see on your life.
01:20:57
Speaker
that right there will will that that impact as well will will change those forever but we all want to have memories as well right like right right you know the same watching Jake men like watching Jake if you have this part of resistance to what is surrender
01:21:21
Speaker
Don't ask Jake like I don't want Jake I'm i'm not encouraging you to give them a ah book answer like Jake's life this past year and and and sitting with him and listening to him in the way he shares his experiences of what it is to surrender is
01:21:46
Speaker
It'll bless your soul. Like that is the part of being able to,
01:21:54
Speaker
when you showed up here before Jake, were you a little, like and I want to put this nicely, but like, I don't know how, what do you think your, your, your demeanor was here when you first showed up here?
01:22:06
Speaker
I'll let you say it. Um, I think I had a lot of pride and ego that like I was unaware of.
01:22:16
Speaker
think that's probably the best way to put it you know i think that it comes from you good yeah yeah yeah but i mean you were at least willing to show up is what i also seen at those yeah yeah yeah so which which was which was awesome um watching Jake from that place to where he's at now and being able to surrender this past year in the crushing of all of his reality experiences, listening to his soul and his experience of surrender and being with God has, has been awesome.
01:22:52
Speaker
So thank you for letting me watch that Jake. It's a, it's good. Yeah. Well, the share that, you know, it's, it's good. Dude, I met Jake on the pew. Jake, you remember that when I met you at church?
01:23:04
Speaker
Yep. Both sobbing messes. Yep. Commiserating over how hell has become our life. Yeah, man. And then to see you now in Texas, still in your uniform, head high, chin out, chest up.
01:23:23
Speaker
Beautiful, dude. So only the Lord can restore a man back into his sacred turf. and give him back the land that was taken or given up.
01:23:34
Speaker
Yeah. It's not from our own good works, dude, because I know that if you're honest, if you want to continue to be honest, do you think you deserve it? Yeah. yeah No.
01:23:49
Speaker
I mean, hell no, right? like No, dude. If I was still in control, I'd be crying with you for three years straight at the view. Hey, easy. I happen to have cried for three years straight, right? I'm a year like company' calling you're in. You know?
01:24:07
Speaker
Yeah. Well, that was the point. I think I paved the way so you could be a little bit shorter on the gun. Yeah. I appreciate it, man. I'm just kidding. That's just beautiful to see, man. I'm just i'm with it. I love it. It's beautiful to be a brother, man. i love i love it. And what's cool is that we're all strong. Like, you're strong, right? Yep.
01:24:27
Speaker
But everybody in here has the ability to have the indwelling spirit of God teach and preach to themselves so that they can be better and encouraged and on fire.
01:24:37
Speaker
Within a group, I don't think it happens alone. I don't believe it's real alone. is That's like the fictitious
01:25:10
Speaker
I'm just glad hear you.
