Mary and her family have broken them library
2
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:14.330
you can read it over to them they're very open but they were there any concerns that you felt your life
3
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:15.470

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.810
that you were checking on them
7
00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:24.250

00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:36.360
10
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:43.180
pretty much
11
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:46.290
12
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.320
a lot of difference it has
13
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:52.910
we don't walk that way
14
00:00:56.030 --> 00:01:00.120
and maybe about the ease in her programs
15
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:04.310

00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:07.590
you for never ending up
17
00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:13.480
I'm trying to think of stereotype of of your family
18
00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:17.750
the way they surprise you in a positive way
19
00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:20.380
okay who is a surprise me in a positive way

00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:25.780
the remote
22
00:01:26.470 --> 00:01:28.650
I was gonna say it maybe that sense of
23
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:31.960
I'm just thinking like
24
00:01:32.770 --> 00:01:36.260
belong in a family like we've my parents served
25
00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:43.580
plus I mean I don't know if that's breaking the stare of death or where there is a very
26
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:44.890
they're still trying to scan
27
00:01:45.710 --> 00:01:47.830
shares of rising line maybe in your life
28
00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:52.790
my goodness I've never met this is what it is like a father figure fortune

31
00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:05.790

32
00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:09.550
okay all right I can I can I can answer that one
33
00:02:12.230 --> 00:02:15.420
okay so help me with the intro so what what what I'm saying
34
00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:16.760
thank you
35
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:21.850
going back active under you guys we're biting your relationship knows and then
36
00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:29.500
I don't know what it's about is people this is an agriculture and other personal things as well
37
00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:31.460
going in and out of mind okay okay
38
00:02:32.380 --> 00:02:32.900
39
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.120
so when Iranian I began to date
40
00:02:38.450 --> 00:02:42.670
I obviously didn't know which is the only Gyptian person that I've known
41
00:02:44.010 --> 00:02:44.480
ever
42
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.450
there's not a ton and I was not there definitely not at the time and and I'd still probably only know
43
00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:52.560
one other outside of
44
00:02:53.370 --> 00:02:56.330
who have been introduced to the filing my return on your family
45
00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:01.680
but ate a stereo type that
46
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:05.760
that became clearer
47
00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:10.320
that became clear when when we got married so
48
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.380
Egypt has had
49
00:03:11.540 --> 00:03:11.960
thank you
50
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.690
I want to group for so I'm just gonna say there there it's I remember those
51
00:03:16.940 --> 00:03:19.270
so a lot of Egyptians are
52
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.130
they're they're loud they're very passionate people about argumentative
53
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:32.800
Americans might say argumentative they say passion so kind of justified so yeah the title the title kind of deal
54
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:37.240
and that blew my mind because
55
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.360
I only L. when I'm angry and so
56
00:03:43.420 --> 00:03:46.000
when we're discussing something passionately about it
57
00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:47.610
58
00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:49.130
I don't like to be angry
59
00:03:49.370 --> 00:03:50.260
you know primarily
60
00:03:50.290 --> 00:03:51.100
my my
61
00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.510
it's a deeper meaning because you know my
62
00:03:55.320 --> 00:03:55.590
63
00:03:56.180 --> 00:04:01.650
my mother was when I was young was in an abusive relationship with my father and so it you know
64
00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:04.850
yelling and arguing brings up like bad memories
65
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.490
and so
66
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.520
when I when we started dating and we we would have family gatherings and you know go over
67
00:04:12.110 --> 00:04:15.160
I remember being quiet for a long time just because
68
00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:18.860
the conversations were sold
69
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.529
on 10 they were just so
70
00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:26.420
I think is a good word they were very epic and
71
00:04:27.550 --> 00:04:29.200
not until I really agree
72
00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:32.000
hi there I I stand by this not until we went to Egypt
73
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:35.010
so we have the opportunity to go to Egypt
74
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:36.510
but
75
00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:37.520
15 years ago
76
00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:44.940
now 1415 years ago and not until I was able to experience the culture
77
00:04:44.970 --> 00:04:47.730
you know we went to Cairo Alexandria everywhere
78
00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.140
not not until then did it break down some of those stereotypes and it was
79
00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:56.030
they are passionate and
80
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.710
and it is the way and some of it
81
00:04:57.900 --> 00:04:59.530
the way they communicate it was
82
00:05:00.340 --> 00:05:02.460
because it's loud in Cairo
83
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:03.750
it's very it's you know
84
00:05:03.890 --> 00:05:05.910
however many millions of people they are and
85
00:05:05.940 --> 00:05:11.720
and if there's a lot of movement and and so some of that is just the way they were they were raised
86
00:05:11.850 --> 00:05:19.350
and so that really just translated you know Iranians deadline we with one night to go buy train tickets
87
00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:20.910
and
88
00:05:20.940 --> 00:05:25.870
I'll never forget this moment it was like one of the most frightening moments in my life where
89
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.240
he's in line
90
00:05:28.730 --> 00:05:31.030
it kind of wasn't paying attention from around
91
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.960
and you know someone else who needed to be somewhere
92
00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:36.260
skip to main line and
93
00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:38.150
and a big heart
94
00:05:38.590 --> 00:05:41.420
a discussion brewed right here within our
95
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:45.860
and it was very passionate and and if that were in the United States
96
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:54.150
this particular clearly if they were in my culture the way I grew up there would be we would be fighting every fist fights
97
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.460
you know and I just looked at it happened I go
98
00:05:58.270 --> 00:05:59.250
okay that's different
99
00:05:59.330 --> 00:05:59.780
Mike
100
00:05:59.890 --> 00:06:07.150
you know it was a lot of respect and honor and you know at the end of the day because it was a younger man
101
00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:12.270
the young man let her dad go and so it was kind of that honor kind of deal
102
00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:12.650
and
103
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.660
but that was mine that was eye opening
104
00:06:14.690 --> 00:06:17.060
it was an eye opener of a of a stereo type to go
105
00:06:18.570 --> 00:06:21.320
okay so you have to see people in in an environment
106
00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:22.640
in order to understand
107
00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:25.870
how they respond to certain things so
108
00:06:27.370 --> 00:06:29.030
yeah that's right
109
00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:29.820
110
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:31.360
what would you guys say
111
00:06:32.410 --> 00:06:33.030
is
112
00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:36.350
the the role of the church
113
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:46.250
in helping to usher and figured it was gonna be this year actually do and I think he leaders go first and
114
00:06:46.690 --> 00:06:47.140
hello
115
00:06:47.180 --> 00:06:50.290
how is this year's walk out the truth doesn't always get it right now
116
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:50.880
yeah
117
00:06:51.230 --> 00:06:54.510
collectively they feature does not always get it right
118
00:06:54.830 --> 00:06:57.990
news movies about how how do you think of her own this
119
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:02.240
this is relating to this church moving this time to help
120
00:07:03.390 --> 00:07:04.780
during the first
121
00:07:05.590 --> 00:07:05.930
thank you
122
00:07:07.510 --> 00:07:08.820
I think this
123
00:07:10.110 --> 00:07:12.220
the places that we
124
00:07:13.030 --> 00:07:16.810
look to the churches in being an example for us
125
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:24.160
and it begins in very visual practical ways I think that just representation on the stage just
126
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:31.700
I think that when you're used to seeing your race or your gender or your age
127
00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:36.830
represent and then you'd never think about it be when it's missing
128
00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:39.980
and so I think representation is
129
00:07:40.010 --> 00:07:43.170
M. and at least it's an open door to a conversation
130
00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:47.580
this is where we want to talk about this I do think that you
131
00:07:47.610 --> 00:07:54.320
you have to have a conversation and you need to so that process and I think sometimes
132
00:07:54.550 --> 00:07:55.970
and the way that
133
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.470
the way that the church has taught has been in a monologue type of fashion
134
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.080
and I think in the center
135
00:08:04.710 --> 00:08:08.180
I think we wanted to be a little Messier like could you show process
136
00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:12.680
can you show maybe 2 people even have a conversation about it because
137
00:08:13.070 --> 00:08:16.540
and it isn't just a 3.sermon on it
138
00:08:16.870 --> 00:08:20.530
it is about relationships and it's about
139
00:08:21.340 --> 00:08:27.400
what can happen when I'm when I learned when I give space to hear from you and
140
00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:41.360
and so I think that those things are 2 big ones for me is it's not just that we teach on it but it's how because we assume a lot of people know how to process pain and how to have uncomfortable conversations
141
00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:43.530
and we really don't
142
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.600
most of the time because of social media we hope we can avoid those conversations
143
00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:49.230
so we never have to have all
144
00:08:49.730 --> 00:08:58.710
and so I'm gonna hang around people that think like me or would have the same opinions as I do and so when those uncomfortable conversations come around
145
00:08:59.040 --> 00:08:59.510
146
00:08:59.830 --> 00:09:06.770
I find that I'm having a guide through it and I think that we need that we need a larger
147
00:09:06.810 --> 00:09:11.160
look at how to walk through uncomfortable places
148
00:09:13.810 --> 00:09:14.330
together
149
00:09:17.270 --> 00:09:18.000
yeah I believe
150
00:09:18.590 --> 00:09:20.690
one thing you said that really struck me was
151
00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:22.040
152
00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:27.940
I think sometimes the church wants to portray
153
00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:29.330
that
154
00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:31.200
we have it together
155
00:09:31.370 --> 00:09:41.450
I think sometimes the church wants to say you know we are we're supposed to be the body of Christ were supposed to be gracious were supposed to be like Jesus
156
00:09:41.900 --> 00:09:44.970
and so it makes it very difficult when we aren't
157
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.670
or will realize that we aren't
158
00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:58.390
it makes it difficult when we realize that our greater church body does have prejudices or races or races or whatever are stereotypical
159
00:09:58.710 --> 00:09:59.120
160
00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:00.990
instead of embrace that and going
161
00:10:01.400 --> 00:10:04.760
okay we are who we are because we're human beings
162
00:10:06.380 --> 00:10:12.410
in allowing grace for to be messy allowing you know what's up
163
00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:15.520
we we don't have it together because regardless of
164
00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:18.840
of your church can activity
165
00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:28.390
if you're still human and and eat you know we need to allow a little bit of grace and is
166
00:10:30.430 --> 00:10:31.100
that grace
167
00:10:31.130 --> 00:10:43.880
isn't that messiness isn't portrayed well you know we try to have it you know put everything into an ice box and the part of it is you know as the you know the big C. church right we're we have limited time
168
00:10:43.910 --> 00:10:47.640
you know where everyone's trying to come in on a Sunday or Monday
169
00:10:47.790 --> 00:10:49.920
you know Wednesday or something and and get it
170
00:10:50.090 --> 00:10:56.900
and so you have to be very strategic on what you want to speak on and so you know at church today has become
171
00:10:58.520 --> 00:11:01.590
honestly a lot of production you know we're trying to
172
00:11:02.890 --> 00:11:10.310
get the right number of of of worship songs and play the right videos and you know do all of this to take take take
173
00:11:10.660 --> 00:11:16.180
that we lose our relationship aspect of of what what what church needs to be
174
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:16.980
and I think
175
00:11:17.010 --> 00:11:18.810
and relationships are messy
176
00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:21.060
you know and so
177
00:11:22.370 --> 00:11:22.790
178
00:11:23.690 --> 00:11:24.730
that's a large part
179
00:11:24.760 --> 00:11:25.840
I think I think another
180
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.290
I was on a podcast is this summer
181
00:11:28.770 --> 00:11:31.990
listen to a podcast and and it was a
182
00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:35.620
it was a it was a business 5 K. podcast by a
183
00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:39.450
very successful firm and
184
00:11:40.430 --> 00:11:42.730
they really 8 rear reiterated that
185
00:11:43.410 --> 00:11:44.800
if you don't have a measurable
186
00:11:45.010 --> 00:11:46.070
you'll never get there
187
00:11:46.380 --> 00:11:52.440
and so I think but I think sometimes in a church we're afraid to put measurables in place we're afraid to say
188
00:11:53.250 --> 00:11:56.680
we just we wanna be glossy and say Hey we want diversification
189
00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:58.790
well okay what does that mean you know
190
00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.210
does it really mean that
191
00:12:00.900 --> 00:12:03.220
do you want any might be silly
192
00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:05.260
right it might be okay
193
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:08.000
if you have 5 people on the stage
194
00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.320
what's your goal
195
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.740
do you know do you want
196
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:11.850
one
197
00:12:12.810 --> 00:12:15.280
you know do you want one gender you know to
198
00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:18.810
2 different races how do you want that and I think sometimes
199
00:12:19.310 --> 00:12:24.140
that's uncomfortable for people and and date
200
00:12:24.290 --> 00:12:26.380
be a little that type of
201
00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:28.970
optics are
202
00:12:29.780 --> 00:12:30.550
granular
203
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.120
you know that that's really granular
204
00:12:33.270 --> 00:12:35.350
you know to go down to that level and say
205
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:37.540
here's a goal that we want
206
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:39.830
how do we how do we go about doing it
207
00:12:40.450 --> 00:12:42.780
but it matters why you're doing it
208
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:53.630
for sure you know if I'm doing it for the optics of I'm doing it just to you know and that's what's that's what's gonna show who's in this for the long term
209
00:12:53.940 --> 00:13:11.830
is he still in this months after this year's after this are we still going after these kind of goals are we still having these types of conversations so that worked in it in a long term commitment and not just flirting with it because culture is offended by right now
210
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:15.320
and I think that the biggest motivation is love
211
00:13:15.830 --> 00:13:26.990
and when you have actually and received god's love and are willing to say I'm not going to bottleneck that you know and refused to give it out
212
00:13:27.020 --> 00:13:31.300
I think that ships it it does a lot you do love
213
00:13:31.790 --> 00:13:32.440
you did a lot
214
00:13:32.650 --> 00:13:37.470
you know just you know get to pursue me like we we do a lot for kids because we love him and
215
00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:38.420
but you have to want it
216
00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:38.880
yeah
217
00:13:38.910 --> 00:13:40.240
you have to you have to warn
218
00:13:40.810 --> 00:13:42.110
the results of
219
00:13:42.140 --> 00:13:46.070
on the outside you have to you have to believe that
220
00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:50.250
the success is better than what you're what you're in right now
221
00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:55.170
that on the other side if I push through if I go through and make the sacrifices
222
00:13:55.980 --> 00:14:00.750
that might can result will be something that's that's that's what I want
223
00:14:03.090 --> 00:14:04.480
it goes back to being messy
224
00:14:04.530 --> 00:14:15.000
you know you really have to be because again if we can if we can look at diversification and racism and whatever work you know pick your lands on what would you want to view it from
225
00:14:15.570 --> 00:14:17.000
it's not a current date
226
00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:20.110
it's a current a problem but it doesn't it didn't occur overnight
227
00:14:20.210 --> 00:14:20.650
I mean you're
228
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.330
there was a need to go read your Bible
229
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:32.990
you know there was racism throughout the entire Bible there was you know the diversification and gender issues racial issues
230
00:14:33.290 --> 00:14:35.070
so it it it doesn't
231
00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:37.490
so that that's part of my problem
232
00:14:37.540 --> 00:14:39.520
with with with the church's
233
00:14:40.550 --> 00:14:46.330
we've been trying to figure this thing out and we can't seem to get a grasp you know and
234
00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:56.940
as a church that's kind of sad because we're we're supposed to be leading the world not
235
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.200
having the world to get us to some of these issues so
236
00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:14.580
a finalized the lacking from many of the things we wanted to walk away from you today
237
00:15:21.290 --> 00:15:21.700
yeah
238
00:15:21.850 --> 00:15:24.010
about pursuing the
239
00:15:24.690 --> 00:15:25.490
the topic
240
00:15:25.690 --> 00:15:29.560
got these in your heart that keeps being around meeting about whether it's also
241
00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:39.640
thank you
242
00:15:45.550 --> 00:15:58.230
I think if there's one thing about this whole process that I've really discovered about myself and about others which won't be a really profound conclusion but it's just for humans
243
00:15:59.130 --> 00:16:07.900
and no matter how far along as progress no matter how much work I've done layers of of healing I've gotten
244
00:16:07.930 --> 00:16:10.270
I still have another place and another
245
00:16:10.630 --> 00:16:11.220
246
00:16:11.510 --> 00:16:14.460
part of the journey that god is walking towards
247
00:16:14.890 --> 00:16:18.010
and I know for myself I want to grace in that
248
00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:26.580
I want some safety to make it I miss it and and be messy and I want a collective of people around me that that we journey through it together
249
00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:29.300
I don't want to do this alone
250
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:30.650
and so
251
00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:34.940
and I think that I know all the things that I want for myself
252
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:39.000
and now the growth becomes can I give that to other people
253
00:16:39.810 --> 00:16:45.080
and and it's not just the people that I do life with
254
00:16:45.450 --> 00:16:47.240
can I give it to the person
255
00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:50.490
that are really don't like
256
00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:55.390
that I'm really triggered by I am still
257
00:16:57.220 --> 00:17:00.810
blown away in a little annoyed that Jesus asked me to love my enemy
258
00:17:01.880 --> 00:17:03.800
to do good to those that hate me
259
00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:09.000
and I mean I think it would be nicer if you'd asked me to tolerate them
260
00:17:09.930 --> 00:17:10.599
261
00:17:10.630 --> 00:17:14.599
to they've acted like something on their pager
262
00:17:14.829 --> 00:17:16.420
you know just a couple of things
263
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.810
but to love him
264
00:17:18.520 --> 00:17:22.770
and not just say that I love them he pushed it further to say to do good
265
00:17:23.430 --> 00:17:26.410
so now I have to respond in a different way
266
00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:28.000
I have to go to a different
267
00:17:29.350 --> 00:17:30.860
link their measure
268
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:35.010
then then they ever have been to me
269
00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:36.850
or maybe never will be
270
00:17:37.830 --> 00:17:41.000
I cannot choose to respond
271
00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:46.600
so that I elicit a response it's literally gotta come out of my heart and
272
00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:52.120
and that's definitely from a supernatural place like god you're gonna have to help me do this and you guys I know
273
00:17:53.110 --> 00:17:55.820
and I think that when I try to do it apart from him
274
00:17:56.020 --> 00:17:57.140
it's just charity
275
00:17:57.600 --> 00:17:59.240
but when I do it with him
276
00:17:59.780 --> 00:18:01.720
it's kingdom
277
00:18:02.010 --> 00:18:03.350
it's something so much bigger
278
00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:07.830
and I think that that's and that's a journey for me
279
00:18:10.950 --> 00:18:13.960
that's why she's a PhD and I'm not that was
280
00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:21.150
that very moment right so for the rest
281
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.210
282
00:18:25.210 --> 00:18:28.420
I would like to get everyone to come away with the fact that
283
00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:30.650
it's going to take hard work
284
00:18:31.270 --> 00:18:31.700
285
00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:32.960
I kept thinking
286
00:18:33.370 --> 00:18:36.550
and I was wondering like minimize our share this but I'm going to
287
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.500
white
288
00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:41.810
I read and I had an argument last night and
289
00:18:42.620 --> 00:18:43.190
you know
290
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:48.640
I can choose to be angry or I can choose to
291
00:18:49.450 --> 00:18:49.890
292
00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:55.280
I work hard and have a reconciliation
293
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.820
I can choose to it so we have a choice
294
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.810
just like every like everything else I mean it's
295
00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:03.140
god gave us choice and
296
00:19:04.150 --> 00:19:06.390
and I think so much
297
00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:11.340
we try to put on the issue of reconciliation and diversification
298
00:19:11.370 --> 00:19:14.700
in in a bucket that's like untouchable
299
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.680
and
300
00:19:15.830 --> 00:19:23.100
but we're willing to work hard on all these other things we will work hard to be great fathers and mothers and
301
00:19:24.210 --> 00:19:26.250
even in our Christianity in our walk
302
00:19:26.330 --> 00:19:34.870
we're willing to be great students were willing to be a great business people in business or whatever your craft is you're willing to work hard at that
303
00:19:35.110 --> 00:19:36.290
if for some reason
304
00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:38.870
this over time
305
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:40.380
these have been things like
306
00:19:41.750 --> 00:19:45.050
that are off limits in terms of being tough and going
307
00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:45.900
okay
308
00:19:46.510 --> 00:19:52.990
it's tough but how do we go through how do we break through I love athletic analogies
309
00:19:53.020 --> 00:19:54.660
and so
310
00:19:55.930 --> 00:20:01.980
there's nothing like physically pushing your body past the point that you didn't mentally think that you could make
311
00:20:02.410 --> 00:20:09.080
and I think that's where that's where we are where we have to push our our body her mind past the point to go
312
00:20:09.310 --> 00:20:10.800
okay this is uncomfortable
313
00:20:10.850 --> 00:20:12.130
you know this is uncomfortable
314
00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:19.470
but I know it's important usually when you do that you find a greater whatever
315
00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:20.530
on the other side
316
00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:30.290
whatever you're going after when you push past that point of comfort level and you go to an uncomfortable point you usually find greatness and and whatever you do
317
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:32.530
and so that's the one thing
318
00:20:32.560 --> 00:20:34.790
but that's all about hard work it's all about
319
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.530
mentally physically spiritually emotionally St
320
00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:45.500
I want to work hard in order to achieve the goodness that's on the other side
321
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.280
322
00:20:46.350 --> 00:20:49.180
because if you don't want a hard if you don't work hard it's
323
00:20:50.690 --> 00:20:52.050
you're just gonna end up where you are
324
00:20:52.290 --> 00:21:02.020
and yes we may make some progress but will more than likely backstop to our oral norm because we want experience what that newness
325
00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:04.840
on the other side of of being a compatibility
326
00:21:09.930 --> 00:21:13.000
yeah you have to listen
327
00:21:13.810 --> 00:21:14.740
I think I have a
328
00:21:15.450 --> 00:21:18.200
but yes when our babies come from witness
329
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.340
you only get there like you're standing and they're looking for really
