Do you ever feel
like you're barely
keeping it together?
00:00:10.009 --> 00:00:13.313 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
The slightest bump
and it all comes
crashing down?

>> So if you
think mentally,
00:00:15.382 --> 00:00:17.317 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
about how many
plates you have,
00:00:17.384 --> 00:00:19.319 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
and you're running
around every day
00:00:19.386 --> 00:00:21.321 align:center line:63% position:50% size:65%
trying to go
from one plate to the next
00:00:21.388 --> 00:00:23.790 align:center line:63% position:50% size:58%
to the next to the next
to keep them spinning,
00:00:23.857 --> 00:00:25.792 align:center line:69% position:50% size:40%
is it any wonder
00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:28.595 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
that we start
feeling overwhelmed?

RANDY: Welcome to LIFE Today.
00:00:55.321 --> 00:00:56.523 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm Randy Robison.
00:00:56.589 --> 00:00:57.757 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Tammy Trent is with me
00:00:57.824 --> 00:00:58.892 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
as always.
00:00:58.958 --> 00:01:00.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
How are you doing?
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:01.261 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
Are you feeling pretty good?
00:01:01.327 --> 00:01:02.429 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
You're calm? How is life?
00:01:02.495 --> 00:01:03.596 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
TAMMY: Life is good right now.
00:01:03.663 --> 00:01:04.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But I will always
00:01:04.831 --> 00:01:06.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
have many questions
00:01:06.132 --> 00:01:07.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
when I'm feeling overwhelmed,
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:08.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
when I'm feeling
00:01:08.802 --> 00:01:10.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
out of control,
00:01:10.103 --> 00:01:11.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and when I'm feeling
00:01:11.304 --> 00:01:12.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
stressed out,
00:01:12.405 --> 00:01:13.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
which happens often to me.
00:01:13.506 --> 00:01:14.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
But right now
00:01:14.607 --> 00:01:15.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'm feeling good.
00:01:15.708 --> 00:01:16.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
RANDY: Good!
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:17.677 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't know how you're doing
00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:18.845 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but if you're feeling
00:01:18.912 --> 00:01:20.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a little overwhelmed,
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
as Tammy said,
00:01:21.214 --> 00:01:22.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
maybe a little stressed,
00:01:22.248 --> 00:01:23.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I would invite you
00:01:23.383 --> 00:01:24.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to stick around
00:01:24.517 --> 00:01:25.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for just a few minutes
00:01:25.652 --> 00:01:26.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
because our guest, Barb Roose,
00:01:26.786 --> 00:01:27.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%

00:01:27.921 --> 00:01:28.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
some godly truth
00:01:29.055 --> 00:01:30.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that I think will help you.
00:01:30.190 --> 00:01:31.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Now you may know Barb.
00:01:31.624 --> 00:01:32.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
She has the Bold,

Brave, and Beautiful podcast.
00:01:35.295 --> 00:01:36.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
She is a contributor on
00:01:36.529 --> 00:01:37.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%

00:01:37.630 --> 00:01:38.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
speaks at women's conferences,
00:01:38.865 --> 00:01:40.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and has ministered
00:01:40.166 --> 00:01:41.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%

00:01:41.401 --> 00:01:42.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
up in the northwest Ohio area
00:01:42.635 --> 00:01:43.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for many years.
00:01:44.037 --> 00:01:45.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We are thrilled to have her.
00:01:45.438 --> 00:01:46.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're going to talk about
00:01:46.639 --> 00:01:47.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
her new book,
00:01:47.841 --> 00:01:49.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Stronger Than Stress.
00:01:49.943 --> 00:01:51.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Barb, welcome to LIFE Today!
00:01:51.744 --> 00:01:53.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Great to have you.
00:01:53.112 --> 00:01:54.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
BARB: I'm excited to be here.
00:01:54.347 --> 00:01:55.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Thank you for having me.
00:01:55.415 --> 00:01:56.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: Hopefully, this is
00:01:56.516 --> 00:01:57.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
not a stressful situation
00:01:57.717 --> 00:01:58.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:01:58.818 --> 00:01:59.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
BARB: It is not.
00:01:59.853 --> 00:02:00.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
This is a joyous situation.
00:02:00.987 --> 00:02:02.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: This is
00:02:02.355 --> 00:02:03.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
an interesting thing.
00:02:03.490 --> 00:02:04.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
A lot of people
00:02:04.724 --> 00:02:06.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
since COVID especially,
00:02:06.292 --> 00:02:07.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
have written about this topic
00:02:07.727 --> 00:02:08.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but this goes way back
00:02:08.761 --> 00:02:09.796 align:start line:63% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:02:09.863 --> 00:02:10.930 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
BARB: It does.
00:02:10.997 --> 00:02:12.065 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
The idea of stress,
00:02:12.131 --> 00:02:14.200 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
I mean we live in this world
00:02:14.267 --> 00:02:15.635 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and so stress, I didn't
00:02:15.702 --> 00:02:17.270 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
have to figure that out,
00:02:17.337 --> 00:02:18.738 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
it just showed up.
00:02:18.805 --> 00:02:19.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
But the idea
00:02:20.006 --> 00:02:21.007 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
behind the book is
00:02:21.074 --> 00:02:23.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what God wants more for us
00:02:23.243 --> 00:02:24.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
than from us.
00:02:24.944 --> 00:02:27.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
When we look at stress
00:02:27.113 --> 00:02:28.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in this place
00:02:28.281 --> 00:02:29.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
where we feel overwhelmed
00:02:29.516 --> 00:02:30.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
all the time,
00:02:30.650 --> 00:02:32.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what does God want for us?
00:02:32.285 --> 00:02:33.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
We have so many things in life
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that are taken from us.
00:02:35.655 --> 00:02:37.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And so the passion
00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:38.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
behind the book
00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:39.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is to create a space
00:02:39.626 --> 00:02:42.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
where we learn how to do less
00:02:42.161 --> 00:02:44.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
because of the Holy Spirit,
00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:45.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
we're living by
00:02:45.365 --> 00:02:46.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the Holy Spirit more.
00:02:46.399 --> 00:02:47.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
That is what
00:02:47.534 --> 00:02:48.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm passionate about
00:02:48.601 --> 00:02:49.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
teaching people how to do.
00:02:49.903 --> 00:02:50.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: You are passionate
00:02:51.004 --> 00:02:52.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
about it, Barb.
00:02:52.071 --> 00:02:53.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Reading your book,
00:02:53.072 --> 00:02:54.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you had me all in
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
at chapter one
00:02:55.508 --> 00:02:56.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because I felt like
00:02:57.010 --> 00:02:59.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I saw myself in your stories,
00:02:59.512 --> 00:03:00.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
pieces of your story.
00:03:00.847 --> 00:03:02.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
When you got to the place
00:03:02.148 --> 00:03:03.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of throwing plates
00:03:03.950 --> 00:03:06.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
through the window I was like,
00:03:06.152 --> 00:03:07.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I think I have been there
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a time or two in my life.
00:03:08.721 --> 00:03:09.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
So you had me
00:03:09.889 --> 00:03:11.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from the beginning
00:03:11.291 --> 00:03:12.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of this book.
00:03:12.525 --> 00:03:13.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But I want to ask you
00:03:13.626 --> 00:03:14.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
about that moment in your life
00:03:14.928 --> 00:03:16.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of throwing plates.
00:03:16.396 --> 00:03:17.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
BARB: I believe that
00:03:18.064 --> 00:03:19.899 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we all have these moments
00:03:19.966 --> 00:03:21.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we look back on,
00:03:21.367 --> 00:03:22.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and whether we regret them
00:03:22.902 --> 00:03:24.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
or whether we feel shame.
00:03:24.137 --> 00:03:26.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But the question of
00:03:26.372 --> 00:03:27.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
how did I get here?
00:03:27.907 --> 00:03:29.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And the moment
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:31.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in which those plates
00:03:31.177 --> 00:03:32.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
went through the window,
00:03:32.445 --> 00:03:33.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I never saw
00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:34.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that moment coming.
00:03:34.847 --> 00:03:35.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
There were parenting issues,
00:03:35.882 --> 00:03:36.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I had struggles at my job,
00:03:37.016 --> 00:03:38.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
too much anxiety,
00:03:38.318 --> 00:03:39.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and we had an out-of-control
00:03:39.953 --> 00:03:41.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
addiction in our household.
00:03:41.921 --> 00:03:43.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Too little time!
00:03:43.256 --> 00:03:45.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
My to-do list was so long
00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:47.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I was running out of day
00:03:47.594 --> 00:03:48.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
every single day.
00:03:48.761 --> 00:03:50.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And then the stress of it all.
00:03:50.897 --> 00:03:53.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Internally, I was --
00:03:53.766 --> 00:03:56.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I was coming apart every day.
00:03:56.536 --> 00:03:59.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So when all of that converged,
00:03:59.238 --> 00:04:01.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it was like a match was lit
00:04:01.341 --> 00:04:02.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the moment.
00:04:02.742 --> 00:04:04.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So there was this incident
00:04:04.544 --> 00:04:05.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that happened
00:04:05.778 --> 00:04:07.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
where all of this fear
00:04:07.213 --> 00:04:08.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and anxiety,
00:04:08.648 --> 00:04:11.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I melted down.
00:04:11.551 --> 00:04:13.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And also, looked a little bit
00:04:13.653 --> 00:04:15.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
like Nolan Ryan.
00:04:15.588 --> 00:04:17.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughter]
00:04:17.123 --> 00:04:18.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
RANDY: So the
00:04:18.358 --> 00:04:19.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
interesting thing is,
00:04:19.492 --> 00:04:20.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I mean I think we all have
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:21.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
those moments.
00:04:21.861 --> 00:04:24.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I don't like to admit it
00:04:24.931 --> 00:04:28.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because what usually follows
00:04:28.134 --> 00:04:30.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
is guilt
00:04:30.136 --> 00:04:32.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and self-condemnation.
00:04:32.338 --> 00:04:34.641 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
We know those aren't from God.
00:04:34.707 --> 00:04:36.009 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
So what do we do
00:04:36.075 --> 00:04:37.210 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
when we hit those moments
00:04:37.276 --> 00:04:38.311 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
and maybe we're embarrassed?
00:04:38.378 --> 00:04:39.479 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
We're starting to pile more --
00:04:39.545 --> 00:04:41.280 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
that just makes
00:04:41.347 --> 00:04:42.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the stress worse.
00:04:42.515 --> 00:04:43.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
How do we confront that
00:04:43.683 --> 00:04:45.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in a healthy way?
00:04:45.418 --> 00:04:46.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
BARB: For me,
00:04:46.552 --> 00:04:47.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the healthiest way
00:04:47.553 --> 00:04:48.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
has been the spiritual journey
00:04:48.621 --> 00:04:50.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of recognizing
00:04:50.623 --> 00:04:55.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that God is safe.
00:04:55.361 --> 00:04:58.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I learned about God's safety
00:04:58.631 --> 00:05:00.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in looking at the scriptures.
00:05:00.433 --> 00:05:01.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So in the Old Testament,
00:05:01.901 --> 00:05:03.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
reading when King David
00:05:03.102 --> 00:05:04.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in the Psalms
00:05:04.203 --> 00:05:05.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
was writing about how,
00:05:05.438 --> 00:05:06.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"God, you are my refuge."
00:05:06.739 --> 00:05:07.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And stopping to think
00:05:07.907 --> 00:05:09.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we need refuges.
00:05:09.175 --> 00:05:10.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Refuges are
00:05:10.309 --> 00:05:11.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
these protected spaces when
00:05:11.477 --> 00:05:12.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there is a battle going on
00:05:12.812 --> 00:05:13.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when it is going down,
00:05:14.013 --> 00:05:15.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and we could come
00:05:15.815 --> 00:05:17.250 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
and God would shield us.
00:05:17.316 --> 00:05:18.484 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
And then in the New Testament,
00:05:18.551 --> 00:05:19.819 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
as we read about Jesus,
00:05:19.886 --> 00:05:22.555 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
Jesus is saying, "Come to me!
00:05:22.622 --> 00:05:25.224 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
When too much is going on
00:05:25.291 --> 00:05:27.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I will show you how to live."
00:05:27.994 --> 00:05:29.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And then the Apostle Paul
00:05:29.862 --> 00:05:31.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
writes about
00:05:31.397 --> 00:05:32.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
how there is a God
00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:34.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and nothing can separate us
00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:35.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from God's love --
00:05:35.668 --> 00:05:36.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
not life, nor death.
00:05:36.803 --> 00:05:37.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
One of my favorite parts
00:05:37.804 --> 00:05:38.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
in that
00:05:38.938 --> 00:05:40.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
are worries for today
00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:41.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
or fears tomorrow.
00:05:41.407 --> 00:05:42.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So when shame sets in
00:05:42.975 --> 00:05:44.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
around stress,
00:05:44.210 --> 00:05:46.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when we feel like failures
00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:47.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when we're overwhelmed
00:05:47.747 --> 00:05:49.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and we just lose it,
00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:51.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the space for me I start with
00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:52.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
is remembering
00:05:52.985 --> 00:05:54.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that God is my safe place
00:05:54.921 --> 00:05:56.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
to run to.
00:05:56.255 --> 00:05:57.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I let the scriptures
00:05:57.990 --> 00:06:00.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
continuously remind me
00:06:00.293 --> 00:06:01.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that he is the safest place
00:06:02.028 --> 00:06:03.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
to start.
00:06:03.229 --> 00:06:04.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He wants more for me.
00:06:04.764 --> 00:06:06.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He is not ashamed of me.
00:06:06.999 --> 00:06:08.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He is not condemning me.
00:06:08.668 --> 00:06:10.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And so I can start
00:06:10.136 --> 00:06:11.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
simply with that.
00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:12.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God, I know you love me,
00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:14.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you care about me,
00:06:14.173 --> 00:06:15.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and you are going
00:06:15.508 --> 00:06:16.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to get me through this.
00:06:17.043 --> 00:06:18.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
RANDY: I love the picture too,
00:06:18.177 --> 00:06:19.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a refuge, a fortress,
00:06:19.979 --> 00:06:21.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
a strong place
00:06:21.347 --> 00:06:22.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is also a place
00:06:22.482 --> 00:06:24.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
where you go get re-armed.
00:06:24.484 --> 00:06:25.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
I think
00:06:25.852 --> 00:06:26.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when we don't run there
00:06:27.053 --> 00:06:28.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and try to do it on our own,
00:06:28.187 --> 00:06:30.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
we're forfeiting God's weapons
00:06:30.890 --> 00:06:33.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
against such things.
00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:34.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So I love that word.
00:06:34.994 --> 00:06:36.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
How do you --
00:06:36.496 --> 00:06:39.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when you feel stress
00:06:39.565 --> 00:06:40.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in your own life
00:06:40.833 --> 00:06:42.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or you recognize
00:06:42.135 --> 00:06:43.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this constant stress
00:06:43.703 --> 00:06:46.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in someone else's life,
00:06:46.205 --> 00:06:49.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
isn't that a bit of a red flag
00:06:49.208 --> 00:06:51.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that something needs
00:06:51.177 --> 00:06:52.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to be addressed?
00:06:52.311 --> 00:06:53.379 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
BARB: It is.
00:06:53.446 --> 00:06:54.614 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
This is the place
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:55.715 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
where I have a little
00:06:55.782 --> 00:06:57.950 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
fancy visual demonstration.
00:06:58.017 --> 00:06:59.585 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
When we talk about stress
00:06:59.652 --> 00:07:01.621 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
that is our internal response
00:07:01.687 --> 00:07:02.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to whatever is happening
00:07:02.789 --> 00:07:03.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
around us.
00:07:03.856 --> 00:07:05.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So stress is something
00:07:05.458 --> 00:07:06.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
on the one hand,
00:07:06.826 --> 00:07:08.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we think it is a bad thing
00:07:08.094 --> 00:07:09.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but God created it
00:07:09.262 --> 00:07:11.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as a protective response.
00:07:11.531 --> 00:07:13.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's our inner temperature
00:07:13.900 --> 00:07:14.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of being able to say
00:07:15.034 --> 00:07:16.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
how am I doing in the world?
00:07:16.903 --> 00:07:19.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
When our stress rises,
00:07:19.205 --> 00:07:20.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
often we will condemn
00:07:20.473 --> 00:07:21.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
or convict ourselves.
00:07:21.974 --> 00:07:23.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It should be an indicator of
00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:25.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
hmm, we're having a hard time
00:07:25.945 --> 00:07:27.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with the world.
00:07:27.313 --> 00:07:28.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
It's not a place of judgment,
00:07:28.447 --> 00:07:29.549 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it is just we're having
00:07:29.615 --> 00:07:30.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a hard time with the world.
00:07:30.883 --> 00:07:32.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
That is our internal response.
00:07:32.185 --> 00:07:33.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
What is around us
00:07:33.886 --> 00:07:35.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is the external
00:07:35.354 --> 00:07:36.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that we're struggling with.
00:07:36.522 --> 00:07:38.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I like to characterize
00:07:38.691 --> 00:07:40.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
some of what our stress
00:07:40.092 --> 00:07:41.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
could look like,
00:07:41.260 --> 00:07:42.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
like spinning plates!
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:44.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
We have these spinning plates
00:07:44.931 --> 00:07:46.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in our lives.
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And this notion
00:07:47.533 --> 00:07:48.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that internally,
00:07:48.835 --> 00:07:49.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in our mental,
00:07:50.002 --> 00:07:51.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
just in our mental world,
00:07:51.404 --> 00:07:52.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
there are lots
00:07:52.638 --> 00:07:53.706 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of different types
00:07:53.773 --> 00:07:54.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of spinning plates.
00:07:54.774 --> 00:07:57.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So I like to visualize
00:07:57.443 --> 00:07:59.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
they're like saucers.
00:07:59.846 --> 00:08:01.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So saucers are the plates
00:08:01.747 --> 00:08:03.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that spin with our to-do list.
00:08:03.482 --> 00:08:04.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
And then
00:08:04.717 --> 00:08:05.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
there are salad plates.
00:08:05.818 --> 00:08:06.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
These are the plates
00:08:06.886 --> 00:08:07.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of the ongoing things
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that just spin in our lives
00:08:09.121 --> 00:08:10.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that just aren't done.
00:08:10.590 --> 00:08:12.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Then there are dinner plates.
00:08:12.391 --> 00:08:13.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
Those are
00:08:13.626 --> 00:08:14.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
our relationship plates.
00:08:14.861 --> 00:08:15.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So these are all,
00:08:15.962 --> 00:08:17.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
your family, your friends,
00:08:17.897 --> 00:08:19.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
your coworkers.
00:08:19.098 --> 00:08:20.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
And then
00:08:20.166 --> 00:08:21.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I envision the platters.
00:08:21.567 --> 00:08:23.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
The platters are emergencies.
00:08:23.903 --> 00:08:25.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You have one platter,
00:08:25.371 --> 00:08:27.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it can take out a whole lot.
00:08:27.073 --> 00:08:28.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And for all of us, we have
00:08:29.008 --> 00:08:31.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
all of these spinning plates.
00:08:31.377 --> 00:08:33.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
When you and I look at this,
00:08:33.746 --> 00:08:34.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
this is kind of
00:08:35.014 --> 00:08:36.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a fancy gimmicky thing
00:08:36.382 --> 00:08:38.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but keeping a plate spinning
00:08:38.784 --> 00:08:40.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
isn't easy.
00:08:40.286 --> 00:08:41.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What creates overwhelm
00:08:42.054 --> 00:08:44.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in our lives is when
00:08:44.257 --> 00:08:45.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the plates start to tip
00:08:45.758 --> 00:08:47.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or when they start to fall.
00:08:47.226 --> 00:08:48.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So if you think mentally
00:08:49.061 --> 00:08:50.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
about how many plates you have
00:08:50.463 --> 00:08:52.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and you're running around
00:08:52.198 --> 00:08:53.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
every day trying to go
00:08:53.599 --> 00:08:54.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
from one plate to the next
00:08:55.034 --> 00:08:56.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to the next to the next
00:08:56.302 --> 00:08:57.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to keep them spinning,
00:08:57.770 --> 00:08:59.572 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
is it any wonder that
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.275 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
we start feeling overwhelmed?
00:09:02.341 --> 00:09:04.076 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
So the question for me
00:09:04.143 --> 00:09:05.344 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
when I recognize
00:09:05.411 --> 00:09:06.979 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
this acre of spinning plates
00:09:07.046 --> 00:09:08.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in my life is
00:09:08.514 --> 00:09:10.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I cannot keep spinning them
00:09:11.050 --> 00:09:12.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because they are too much.
00:09:12.718 --> 00:09:14.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I don't have enough time.
00:09:14.253 --> 00:09:16.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
How does God
00:09:16.455 --> 00:09:17.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
see the situation?
00:09:18.057 --> 00:09:19.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Because we see all the plates
00:09:19.392 --> 00:09:20.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in front of us
00:09:20.626 --> 00:09:23.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but we forget God sees us
00:09:23.162 --> 00:09:24.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and our plates
00:09:24.764 --> 00:09:26.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and he has a plan
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to help us find victory
00:09:29.101 --> 00:09:30.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
instead of
00:09:30.636 --> 00:09:32.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
stressing ourselves out.
00:09:32.071 --> 00:09:33.673 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
TAMMY: How do I start?
00:09:33.739 --> 00:09:35.041 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Where do I start?
00:09:35.107 --> 00:09:36.275 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
There are some things
00:09:36.342 --> 00:09:37.576 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that I'm fully aware of,
00:09:37.643 --> 00:09:38.978 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
that I react to something,
00:09:39.045 --> 00:09:40.613 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
even now in my life
00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:41.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
being widowed.
00:09:41.948 --> 00:09:43.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Doing things by myself
00:09:43.115 --> 00:09:44.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
around the house,
00:09:44.317 --> 00:09:45.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I can feel overwhelmed.
00:09:45.584 --> 00:09:46.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
When something breaks,
00:09:46.786 --> 00:09:47.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when I can't fix it,
00:09:47.954 --> 00:09:49.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when I'm not smart enough --
00:09:49.188 --> 00:09:50.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you know all those things.
00:09:50.289 --> 00:09:51.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
When I'm not strong enough,
00:09:51.624 --> 00:09:52.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I can feel overwhelmed
00:09:52.758 --> 00:09:53.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and fall to the ground
00:09:53.893 --> 00:09:54.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and say it's enough!
00:09:55.061 --> 00:09:56.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It's enough!
00:09:56.295 --> 00:09:57.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So for me and for anybody
00:09:57.663 --> 00:09:59.899 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
watching that feels the same,
00:09:59.966 --> 00:10:01.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
where do we start?
00:10:01.467 --> 00:10:02.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Where do we start
00:10:02.702 --> 00:10:03.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to find the strategies
00:10:03.869 --> 00:10:05.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to turn this plate around?
00:10:06.005 --> 00:10:07.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
BARB: Yes!
00:10:07.206 --> 00:10:09.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So there were two first steps.
00:10:10.042 --> 00:10:11.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So like a baby takes
00:10:11.243 --> 00:10:13.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
step boom-boom, step one
00:10:13.612 --> 00:10:14.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is we can all
00:10:14.780 --> 00:10:15.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
do this together,
00:10:15.982 --> 00:10:17.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and you can join us at home.
00:10:17.183 --> 00:10:19.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Take a deep breath,
00:10:19.552 --> 00:10:23.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and then blow it out.
00:10:23.889 --> 00:10:26.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
When we take that deep breath,
00:10:26.425 --> 00:10:28.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the very first thing it does
00:10:28.828 --> 00:10:30.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is it helps to push us
00:10:30.396 --> 00:10:31.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
out of survival mode.
00:10:31.964 --> 00:10:33.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Most of us are living
00:10:33.566 --> 00:10:36.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in survival mode biologically,
00:10:36.736 --> 00:10:38.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
spiritually, and mentally.
00:10:38.504 --> 00:10:39.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
So first is
00:10:39.772 --> 00:10:41.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that deep breath.
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:42.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Practically,
00:10:42.708 --> 00:10:44.610 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it helps send your heart,
00:10:44.677 --> 00:10:45.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and your body the message
00:10:45.778 --> 00:10:47.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that you are not in danger.
00:10:47.646 --> 00:10:49.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I call them emotional lions.
00:10:49.849 --> 00:10:51.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Emotional lions are things
00:10:51.183 --> 00:10:52.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you and I are afraid of
00:10:52.752 --> 00:10:54.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that aren't life-threatening
00:10:54.253 --> 00:10:55.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
but where most
00:10:55.521 --> 00:10:56.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of our stress is at.
00:10:56.756 --> 00:10:58.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And the breath reminds us,
00:10:58.124 --> 00:10:59.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the Holy Spirit
00:10:59.558 --> 00:11:01.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
pneuma, breathe.
00:11:01.761 --> 00:11:03.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So the first step is
00:11:03.329 --> 00:11:04.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to take a deep breath.
00:11:04.797 --> 00:11:05.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
You can change
00:11:06.032 --> 00:11:07.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
your stress response
00:11:07.967 --> 00:11:09.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
by breathing.
00:11:09.135 --> 00:11:10.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
So in the book,
00:11:10.236 --> 00:11:11.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I have a couple
00:11:11.537 --> 00:11:12.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of breathing exercises.
00:11:12.738 --> 00:11:14.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Step two, breathing,
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
but then we need
00:11:15.708 --> 00:11:18.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to build spiritual muscle.
00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:20.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So this is where I talk about
00:11:20.079 --> 00:11:22.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the spiritual practices.
00:11:22.081 --> 00:11:23.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We don't see that word
00:11:23.249 --> 00:11:24.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
reflected in scripture,
00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:26.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
an older term would be
00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
spiritual disciplines.
00:11:27.653 --> 00:11:28.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But essentially,
00:11:28.754 --> 00:11:31.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we are human beings,
00:11:31.424 --> 00:11:33.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
not human doings.
00:11:33.526 --> 00:11:34.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Some of our stress,
00:11:34.827 --> 00:11:36.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
most of our stress
00:11:36.228 --> 00:11:37.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is that we're trying to fix
00:11:37.463 --> 00:11:38.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
what's happening inside of us
00:11:38.898 --> 00:11:40.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
by doing.
00:11:40.199 --> 00:11:41.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And what God is saying
00:11:41.300 --> 00:11:42.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is that you are actually
00:11:42.701 --> 00:11:43.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
a human being,
00:11:43.936 --> 00:11:45.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and so we need
00:11:45.237 --> 00:11:46.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
spiritual muscle training
00:11:46.739 --> 00:11:48.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to know how to convert
00:11:48.107 --> 00:11:49.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
our stress into strength.
00:11:49.842 --> 00:11:50.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So once we get
00:11:51.010 --> 00:11:52.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the breathing down,
00:11:52.378 --> 00:11:54.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and invite the Holy Spirit,
00:11:54.513 --> 00:11:56.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
then we can begin to engage
00:11:56.749 --> 00:11:58.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with spiritual practices.
00:11:58.717 --> 00:11:59.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
There are a number of them
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:00.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the book.
00:12:00.953 --> 00:12:02.021 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But the first one,
00:12:02.088 --> 00:12:03.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the foundational one
00:12:03.355 --> 00:12:04.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is surrender.
00:12:04.790 --> 00:12:06.892 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
That chapter is titled
00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:08.194 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
after my favorite
00:12:08.260 --> 00:12:09.328 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
surrender prayer,
00:12:09.395 --> 00:12:13.666 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
"God, I can't but you can
00:12:13.732 --> 00:12:16.235 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
so I will let you."
00:12:16.302 --> 00:12:17.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Because most of our problem
00:12:17.570 --> 00:12:19.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
with stress is we're trying
00:12:19.071 --> 00:12:21.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to do it all ourselves
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:22.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and it is wearing us out.
00:12:22.875 --> 00:12:24.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And Jesus says
00:12:24.977 --> 00:12:26.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I want to teach you.
00:12:26.445 --> 00:12:27.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Eugene Peterson's paraphrase
00:12:27.913 --> 00:12:29.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the Message
00:12:29.281 --> 00:12:32.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of Matthew 11:27, 28, says,
00:12:32.184 --> 00:12:33.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"Please come to me
00:12:33.752 --> 00:12:35.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and I will teach you
00:12:35.187 --> 00:12:37.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the unforced rhythms
00:12:37.823 --> 00:12:40.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
of grace."
00:12:40.326 --> 00:12:42.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He has to teach it to us.
00:12:42.628 --> 00:12:44.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We naturally know
00:12:44.196 --> 00:12:45.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
how to be stressed.
00:12:45.598 --> 00:12:47.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We know how to run on coffee
00:12:47.166 --> 00:12:48.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and adrenaline.
00:12:48.767 --> 00:12:50.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
That is automatic and natural.
00:12:51.036 --> 00:12:53.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We have to be taught
00:12:53.606 --> 00:12:55.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
how to live in the grace
00:12:55.341 --> 00:12:57.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of doing less
00:12:57.109 --> 00:12:58.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and allowing the Holy Spirit
00:12:58.777 --> 00:13:00.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to do more.
00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:01.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
TAMMY: What's the difference
00:13:01.614 --> 00:13:03.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
between stress and stressor?
00:13:03.983 --> 00:13:05.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
BARB: So this is
00:13:05.718 --> 00:13:08.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
game-changing!
00:13:08.254 --> 00:13:09.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Game-changing!
00:13:09.522 --> 00:13:10.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So I was at the zoo
00:13:10.589 --> 00:13:11.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
over the weekend.
00:13:11.690 --> 00:13:12.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
So stress is
00:13:12.892 --> 00:13:14.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
our internal responses.
00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:15.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Stressors are the things
00:13:15.628 --> 00:13:16.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
around us
00:13:16.962 --> 00:13:18.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that cause us to have
00:13:18.297 --> 00:13:20.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
emotional reactions.
00:13:20.099 --> 00:13:21.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
For example,
00:13:21.267 --> 00:13:22.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I was at the zoo
00:13:22.468 --> 00:13:24.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and I don't mind snakes.
00:13:25.004 --> 00:13:26.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
For some of you,
00:13:26.272 --> 00:13:27.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you see a snake
00:13:27.339 --> 00:13:28.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and that's a reason to move.
00:13:28.474 --> 00:13:29.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
How do you feel about snakes?
00:13:29.608 --> 00:13:30.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
TAMMY: Girl, I'm screaming.
00:13:30.743 --> 00:13:31.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I'm running!
00:13:31.877 --> 00:13:32.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughter]
00:13:33.012 --> 00:13:34.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
BARB: This idea of stress
00:13:34.146 --> 00:13:35.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and stressors,
00:13:35.281 --> 00:13:36.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we all have stress reactions
00:13:36.415 --> 00:13:38.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but we all react differently
00:13:38.884 --> 00:13:40.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to stressors.
00:13:40.286 --> 00:13:41.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So the reason why
00:13:41.487 --> 00:13:42.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this is important is
00:13:42.621 --> 00:13:44.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
because we confuse our stress
00:13:45.024 --> 00:13:46.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with the people
00:13:46.358 --> 00:13:47.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in the relationships
00:13:47.626 --> 00:13:48.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with our lives.
00:13:48.761 --> 00:13:49.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
We often will say, "My husband
00:13:49.895 --> 00:13:51.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is stressing me out."
00:13:51.130 --> 00:13:52.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
"My children
00:13:52.431 --> 00:13:53.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
are stressing me out."
00:13:53.599 --> 00:13:55.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Our reaction to our stress
00:13:55.834 --> 00:14:00.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is our responsibility.
00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:02.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
When we make others
00:14:02.208 --> 00:14:04.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
responsible for our stress,
00:14:05.010 --> 00:14:07.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
this is how the enemy
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
destroys our relationships.
00:14:09.715 --> 00:14:12.284 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: Okay, in fairness,
00:14:12.351 --> 00:14:13.419 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
what if you have
00:14:13.485 --> 00:14:14.887 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
a lousy husband
00:14:14.954 --> 00:14:17.356 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
who walks out on you?
00:14:17.423 --> 00:14:19.792 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
Or what if you have children,
00:14:19.858 --> 00:14:21.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
maybe they're suffering from
00:14:21.527 --> 00:14:22.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
an addiction or something;
00:14:22.761 --> 00:14:23.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
they're bringing it
00:14:23.796 --> 00:14:24.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
into the home.
00:14:24.930 --> 00:14:25.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
That's a stressor,
00:14:25.965 --> 00:14:28.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that's a legitimate stress
00:14:28.601 --> 00:14:31.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that is not your fault.
00:14:31.503 --> 00:14:32.671 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
BARB: So that's why we want
00:14:32.738 --> 00:14:33.872 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
to make the distinction.
00:14:33.939 --> 00:14:35.007 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
In my own family story,
00:14:35.074 --> 00:14:37.743 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
addiction was the issue.
00:14:37.810 --> 00:14:39.678 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I learned firsthand
00:14:39.745 --> 00:14:41.013 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
that when the person
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in my home who is struggling
00:14:42.281 --> 00:14:44.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with the addiction,
00:14:44.817 --> 00:14:47.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
when I would see them
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
as my source of stress,
00:14:50.022 --> 00:14:54.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
then it created a place
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
where I would blame them
00:14:56.228 --> 00:14:58.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for all of my actions.
00:14:58.597 --> 00:14:59.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's what happened to me
00:14:59.798 --> 00:15:01.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the day I threw the plates
00:15:01.133 --> 00:15:02.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
through the window.
00:15:02.534 --> 00:15:04.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Because I saw this person
00:15:04.536 --> 00:15:05.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who was struggling
00:15:05.971 --> 00:15:07.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I made them responsible
00:15:07.606 --> 00:15:10.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for my reaction.
00:15:10.109 --> 00:15:11.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I am responsible
00:15:11.443 --> 00:15:12.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for my reactions.
00:15:12.678 --> 00:15:13.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now that doesn't diminish
00:15:14.013 --> 00:15:15.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the bad decisions.
00:15:15.514 --> 00:15:17.316 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
It doesn't diminish the hurt,
00:15:17.383 --> 00:15:18.717 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
the harm.
00:15:18.784 --> 00:15:21.186 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
But when it comes to stress,
00:15:21.253 --> 00:15:22.388 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
our reactions
00:15:22.454 --> 00:15:24.657 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
are our responsibility.
00:15:24.723 --> 00:15:25.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And the good news is
00:15:25.891 --> 00:15:27.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is that the Holy Spirit
00:15:27.092 --> 00:15:28.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
living within us
00:15:28.427 --> 00:15:30.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
gives us the strength
00:15:31.063 --> 00:15:33.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to be able to face situations
00:15:33.699 --> 00:15:35.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in a way that gives life
00:15:35.567 --> 00:15:37.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and hope and peace.
00:15:37.670 --> 00:15:40.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The bottom line
00:15:40.105 --> 00:15:41.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for all of this,
00:15:41.373 --> 00:15:42.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for all of us,
00:15:42.808 --> 00:15:45.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is when we recognize
00:15:45.944 --> 00:15:47.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that our stress
00:15:47.513 --> 00:15:48.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is our responsibility
00:15:48.847 --> 00:15:50.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
then that is where we see
00:15:50.449 --> 00:15:52.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that we need God's help.
00:15:52.117 --> 00:15:55.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It also keeps us from
00:15:55.554 --> 00:15:57.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
wrecking the relationships
00:15:57.356 --> 00:15:58.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in our lives.
00:15:58.724 --> 00:15:59.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Because we are ambassadors
00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
of Christ.
00:16:01.327 --> 00:16:02.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
How can we be
00:16:02.461 --> 00:16:03.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
ambassadors of Christ
00:16:03.495 --> 00:16:04.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when we are blaming people
00:16:04.596 --> 00:16:05.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
around us for our stress?
00:16:05.664 --> 00:16:06.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Our children,
00:16:06.832 --> 00:16:07.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we're supposed to raise
00:16:07.933 --> 00:16:08.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and nurture our children
00:16:08.967 --> 00:16:10.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and we're like, "You guys
00:16:10.102 --> 00:16:11.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
are stressing me out!"
00:16:11.236 --> 00:16:12.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
And then
00:16:12.371 --> 00:16:13.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we're trying to give them
00:16:13.505 --> 00:16:14.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the message of Jesus?
00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:15.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So keeping those two distinct.
00:16:15.774 --> 00:16:16.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
And I do.
00:16:16.909 --> 00:16:17.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I do want to acknowledge those
00:16:18.043 --> 00:16:21.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
who are facing significant
00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:23.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
stressful situations.
00:16:23.649 --> 00:16:25.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It is not easy.
00:16:25.918 --> 00:16:27.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But we also want
00:16:27.219 --> 00:16:28.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to pay attention to how
00:16:28.554 --> 00:16:30.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we don't want to blame others
00:16:30.556 --> 00:16:31.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
for what is
00:16:31.957 --> 00:16:32.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
our responsibility
00:16:32.991 --> 00:16:34.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and our reactions.
00:16:34.193 --> 00:16:35.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
RANDY: Barb, I think
00:16:35.394 --> 00:16:37.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you're striking a nerve,
00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:38.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
hitting where a lot of people
00:16:38.831 --> 00:16:41.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
struggle and live.
00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:42.401 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
By the way,
00:16:42.468 --> 00:16:43.569 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
if you're struggling
00:16:43.635 --> 00:16:44.737 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
in this area
00:16:44.803 --> 00:16:45.904 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
and you're hearing some things
00:16:45.971 --> 00:16:48.540 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and you're going, oh boy!
00:16:48.607 --> 00:16:49.808 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
We have a telephone number
00:16:49.875 --> 00:16:52.144 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
where someone will just stop,
00:16:52.211 --> 00:16:55.381 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
breathe, and pray with you.
00:16:55.447 --> 00:16:56.715 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
So call the number
00:16:56.782 --> 00:16:57.850 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
on the screen right now.
00:16:57.916 --> 00:16:59.084 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
There is always someone there
00:16:59.151 --> 00:17:00.552 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
who will pick up
00:17:00.619 --> 00:17:03.122 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and will just walk with you
00:17:03.188 --> 00:17:04.823 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
where you're at.
00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:06.525 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
We would also,
00:17:06.592 --> 00:17:08.594 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
if you would like Barb's book,
00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:09.728 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
we would love
00:17:09.795 --> 00:17:10.863 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to send it to you
00:17:10.929 --> 00:17:11.997 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
because there are
00:17:12.064 --> 00:17:13.132 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
ten spiritual practices.
00:17:13.198 --> 00:17:14.266 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
By the way,
00:17:14.333 --> 00:17:15.401 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I want to point out
00:17:15.467 --> 00:17:16.535 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that word practice
00:17:16.602 --> 00:17:17.669 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
is a biblical word
00:17:17.736 --> 00:17:18.804 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
and it means
00:17:18.871 --> 00:17:19.938 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
exercising a muscle.
00:17:20.005 --> 00:17:21.073 align:start line:63% position:10% size:18%
Do this
00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:22.508 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
and you'll be bad at it first
00:17:22.574 --> 00:17:25.744 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
but you'll get good at it.
00:17:25.811 --> 00:17:26.812 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
I love these
00:17:26.879 --> 00:17:28.013 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
because these are things
00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:29.181 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
you can start to do
00:17:29.248 --> 00:17:30.416 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
immediately
00:17:30.482 --> 00:17:32.384 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that will help you grow.
00:17:32.451 --> 00:17:33.619 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
It will disciple you
00:17:33.685 --> 00:17:35.120 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
and it will help,
00:17:35.187 --> 00:17:36.488 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I say, manage your stress
00:17:36.555 --> 00:17:37.823 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
but really, it means
00:17:37.890 --> 00:17:39.858 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
to cast your cares upon him,
00:17:39.925 --> 00:17:40.993 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and that is the ultimate.
00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.294 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
So we're going to tell you
00:17:42.361 --> 00:17:43.495 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
how you can get that.
00:17:43.562 --> 00:17:44.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
But Barb,
00:17:44.997 --> 00:17:47.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I want to say thank you
00:17:47.566 --> 00:17:48.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for this
00:17:48.901 --> 00:17:51.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because this is important.
00:17:51.236 --> 00:17:52.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Briefly, because
00:17:52.838 --> 00:17:54.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we're running out of time,
00:17:54.506 --> 00:17:56.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I want people to get the book,
00:17:56.175 --> 00:17:57.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just think it is important
00:17:57.576 --> 00:17:59.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to point out
00:17:59.211 --> 00:18:00.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that one of the biggest
00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:02.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
countermeasures
00:18:02.448 --> 00:18:03.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
for the stress in our life
00:18:03.649 --> 00:18:06.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is cultivating an attitude
00:18:06.118 --> 00:18:08.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of gratitude.
00:18:08.287 --> 00:18:10.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
How big has that been for you?
00:18:10.956 --> 00:18:13.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
BARB: It is a practice
00:18:13.192 --> 00:18:14.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that has brought so much joy
00:18:14.726 --> 00:18:18.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to my life and also strength.
00:18:18.197 --> 00:18:19.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Scriptures say
00:18:19.631 --> 00:18:20.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it is the joy of the Lord
00:18:20.766 --> 00:18:21.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that is our strength.
00:18:21.867 --> 00:18:22.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Giving thanks to God
00:18:23.001 --> 00:18:24.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in everyday things
00:18:24.136 --> 00:18:25.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
equips me to be grateful
00:18:25.337 --> 00:18:27.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to God in all things.
00:18:27.473 --> 00:18:30.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So each and every single day
00:18:30.576 --> 00:18:32.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I can wake up and see
00:18:32.244 --> 00:18:34.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
where God is at work.
00:18:35.047 --> 00:18:37.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
That is the path
00:18:37.883 --> 00:18:39.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of being able to keep
00:18:39.318 --> 00:18:40.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
that bead on
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
where God is at work
00:18:41.753 --> 00:18:42.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
when it is all falling down
00:18:42.921 --> 00:18:43.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and falling apart.
00:18:44.056 --> 00:18:45.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So gratitude is, that is
00:18:45.357 --> 00:18:46.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the last spiritual practice,
00:18:46.892 --> 00:18:49.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
surrender is the first,
00:18:49.428 --> 00:18:52.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but it is just as essential
00:18:52.531 --> 00:18:54.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to us facing a life
00:18:54.233 --> 00:18:56.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of overcoming overwhelm,
00:18:56.635 --> 00:18:58.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is we see God
00:18:58.103 --> 00:18:59.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
carrying us through it
00:18:59.371 --> 00:19:00.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and we praise him for it,
00:19:00.873 --> 00:19:02.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and it gives us strength
00:19:02.241 --> 00:19:03.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to go another day.
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:04.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: Love it! Love it!
00:19:04.776 --> 00:19:06.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
There is a situation right now
00:19:06.111 --> 00:19:08.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
where God is at work
00:19:08.814 --> 00:19:10.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but God can also use you
00:19:10.682 --> 00:19:12.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in this situation of a place
00:19:12.251 --> 00:19:14.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of frankly, great stress
00:19:14.486 --> 00:19:16.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for a lot of people.
00:19:16.188 --> 00:19:17.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I want you to watch this
00:19:17.389 --> 00:19:18.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and pray about
00:19:18.490 --> 00:19:19.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
getting involved to help
00:19:19.791 --> 00:19:21.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
meet the needs of others.
00:19:21.793 --> 00:19:22.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
When you do,
00:19:22.995 --> 00:19:24.229 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
you can request Barb's book
00:19:24.296 --> 00:19:25.531 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
Stronger Than Stress today.
00:19:25.597 --> 00:19:26.632 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
We would love
00:19:26.698 --> 00:19:27.633 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to send it to you.
00:19:27.699 --> 00:19:28.800 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Most importantly,
00:19:28.867 --> 00:19:30.035 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
we want you to be a part
00:19:30.102 --> 00:19:32.538 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
of God's work in the lives
00:19:32.604 --> 00:19:34.039 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
of some desperate people.
00:19:34.106 --> 00:19:36.108 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:19:41.713 --> 00:19:43.649 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
For the people
of Liberia,
00:19:43.715 --> 00:19:45.651 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
each day
is a struggle
00:19:45.717 --> 00:19:47.653 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
due to the lack
of clean drinking water.
00:19:47.719 --> 00:19:49.655 align:start line:85% position:23% size:53%
With limited options,
00:19:49.721 --> 00:19:51.657 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
the people are forced
to drink water
00:19:51.723 --> 00:19:53.926 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
that can bring illness
or even death.
00:19:53.992 --> 00:19:56.128 align:start line:79% position:30% size:38%
Yet, there is
no other choice
00:19:56.194 --> 00:19:58.130 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
but to drink it
and live
00:19:58.196 --> 00:20:01.099 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
or sometimes die
with the outcome.

Melvin Tawn is a father
all too well acquainted
00:20:04.169 --> 00:20:06.104 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
with the very
real consequences
00:20:06.171 --> 00:20:08.206 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
of drinking
unclean water.
00:20:33.565 --> 00:20:35.500 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
JOHN: Being here
in Liberia
00:20:35.567 --> 00:20:37.502 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
and listening
to Melvin's story,
00:20:37.569 --> 00:20:40.739 align:center line:58% position:50% size:55%
he had dreams
and hopes for his son.
00:20:40.806 --> 00:20:43.008 align:start line:58% position:35% size:30%
And to go
away to work
00:20:43.075 --> 00:20:45.077 align:center line:58% position:50% size:53%
and come home
to a son that's gone,
00:20:45.143 --> 00:20:47.145 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
and knowing
that it was because
00:20:47.212 --> 00:20:49.348 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
of the water
that he had drank;
00:20:49.414 --> 00:20:53.418 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
that there was
no other option.
00:20:53.485 --> 00:20:56.622 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
It leaves me with,
Lord, how can we help?
00:20:56.688 --> 00:20:58.624 align:start line:10% position:30% size:38%
Together we can
be the answer
00:20:58.690 --> 00:21:00.626 align:center line:10% position:50% size:43%
to Melvin's hopes
and prayers.
00:21:00.692 --> 00:21:04.363 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
Join us in giving
Water for LIFE.

TAMMY: I've gone
00:21:08.166 --> 00:21:09.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on so many of these trips
00:21:09.401 --> 00:21:11.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and I've always been
00:21:11.236 --> 00:21:12.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in that same place
00:21:12.504 --> 00:21:13.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that John was at,
00:21:13.939 --> 00:21:15.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
leaving me in a place of
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what can I do to help?
00:21:17.743 --> 00:21:19.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I sit here with you today
00:21:19.077 --> 00:21:21.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
again and I say, God,
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:23.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what can I do to help today?
00:21:23.548 --> 00:21:24.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
What do these people need
00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:26.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
today?
00:21:26.218 --> 00:21:27.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I can't imagine
00:21:27.452 --> 00:21:28.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
how that father must have felt
00:21:28.787 --> 00:21:29.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
going away for a few hours
00:21:30.055 --> 00:21:31.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and coming back
00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and your son is dead --
00:21:32.724 --> 00:21:35.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because of water --
00:21:35.861 --> 00:21:37.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because of what he drank
00:21:37.763 --> 00:21:39.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in that small window of time
00:21:39.564 --> 00:21:43.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that changed everything
00:21:43.568 --> 00:21:45.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for that family.
00:21:45.203 --> 00:21:46.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What can I do to help?
00:21:46.371 --> 00:21:47.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
What can you do to help?
00:21:47.506 --> 00:21:49.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
What can we do to help?
00:21:50.042 --> 00:21:51.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Is there even a solution?
00:21:51.410 --> 00:21:53.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Is there anything we can do?
00:21:53.345 --> 00:21:55.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Yes! Yes, there is.
00:21:55.347 --> 00:21:57.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
We know a way.
00:21:57.382 --> 00:21:58.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We have been doing it
00:21:58.517 --> 00:22:00.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
for years.
00:22:00.185 --> 00:22:02.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We can go in there right now
00:22:02.454 --> 00:22:04.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and drill them a well
00:22:04.289 --> 00:22:05.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that will last them
00:22:05.424 --> 00:22:06.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
for 70 years of their life.
00:22:06.625 --> 00:22:09.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Water for LIFE!
00:22:09.361 --> 00:22:10.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We can bring this to them.
00:22:10.762 --> 00:22:11.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We can bring them hope,
00:22:11.963 --> 00:22:13.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we can bring them life,
00:22:13.699 --> 00:22:15.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
we can bring them Jesus.
00:22:15.901 --> 00:22:16.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And I love that he has
00:22:17.035 --> 00:22:18.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
given us this opportunity
00:22:18.203 --> 00:22:19.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
to step in
00:22:19.237 --> 00:22:20.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and to be the difference,
00:22:20.305 --> 00:22:21.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to make a difference.
00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:23.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
So if God
00:22:23.108 --> 00:22:24.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
has blessed you today,
00:22:24.242 --> 00:22:25.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm going to challenge you,
00:22:25.444 --> 00:22:26.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
challenge you,
00:22:27.112 --> 00:22:28.380 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
to be that answer today
00:22:28.447 --> 00:22:29.548 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
for this family
00:22:29.614 --> 00:22:30.649 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
and so many other families
00:22:30.716 --> 00:22:32.718 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
around the world right now.
00:22:32.784 --> 00:22:33.985 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Randy, it is something
00:22:34.052 --> 00:22:35.554 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
we get to do together
00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:36.722 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
and I know
00:22:36.788 --> 00:22:37.889 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that it changes lives --
00:22:37.956 --> 00:22:39.057 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
so many lives!
00:22:39.124 --> 00:22:40.258 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
RANDY: It does,
00:22:40.325 --> 00:22:41.493 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and it is so simple.
00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:44.529 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
That story right there
00:22:44.596 --> 00:22:47.165 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that we saw as a father,
00:22:47.232 --> 00:22:48.834 align:start line:10% position:10% size:15%
hurts.
00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:50.402 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
I have four children
00:22:50.469 --> 00:22:52.404 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and I can't imagine.
00:22:52.471 --> 00:22:53.505 align:start line:10% position:10% size:28%
You wonder,
00:22:53.572 --> 00:22:54.806 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
if you're watching,
00:22:54.873 --> 00:22:55.874 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
it is hard
00:22:55.941 --> 00:22:56.975 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
to comprehend sometimes
00:22:57.042 --> 00:22:58.243 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
the way many people
00:22:58.310 --> 00:22:59.544 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
in this world have to live.
00:22:59.611 --> 00:23:01.379 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
They drink whatever water
00:23:01.446 --> 00:23:02.647 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
they have because
00:23:02.714 --> 00:23:04.015 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
it is all that they have.
00:23:04.082 --> 00:23:05.984 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
And they may be fine
00:23:06.051 --> 00:23:07.686 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
for years in the case
00:23:07.753 --> 00:23:09.154 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
of that one boy
00:23:09.221 --> 00:23:10.422 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
who ended up dying.
00:23:10.489 --> 00:23:12.290 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
But like that,
00:23:12.357 --> 00:23:14.860 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
life is fragile.
00:23:14.926 --> 00:23:17.095 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Something can turn
00:23:17.162 --> 00:23:19.998 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
and life is gone.
00:23:20.065 --> 00:23:22.734 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
We have the answer.
00:23:22.801 --> 00:23:24.836 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
The answer is, as Tammy said,
00:23:24.903 --> 00:23:26.171 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
drilling a well.
00:23:26.238 --> 00:23:27.405 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Going down deep enough,
00:23:27.472 --> 00:23:28.807 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
deeper than they can dig
00:23:28.874 --> 00:23:30.242 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
with their own hands,
00:23:30.308 --> 00:23:32.444 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
and getting that clean water.
00:23:32.511 --> 00:23:35.080 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
An average well costs $4800.
00:23:35.147 --> 00:23:37.983 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
That's based on the 350 wells
00:23:38.049 --> 00:23:39.751 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
we drill across 20 nations.
00:23:39.818 --> 00:23:41.920 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
If you can provide one
00:23:41.987 --> 00:23:44.189 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
you can prevent others
00:23:44.256 --> 00:23:45.724 align:start line:10% position:10% size:28%
from dying,
00:23:45.791 --> 00:23:46.992 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
many others in fact.
00:23:47.058 --> 00:23:49.394 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
On average, a well will serve
00:23:49.461 --> 00:23:51.730 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
about a thousand people
00:23:51.797 --> 00:23:53.498 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
which is phenomenal.
00:23:53.565 --> 00:23:54.800 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
That is a thousand stories
00:23:54.866 --> 00:23:56.001 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
that we won't have
00:23:56.067 --> 00:23:58.203 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
to tell of loss.
00:23:58.270 --> 00:24:00.071 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
Many of you can give $144
00:24:00.138 --> 00:24:01.773 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
that will provide
00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:03.108 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
clean drinking water
00:24:03.175 --> 00:24:04.442 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
for 30 people
00:24:04.509 --> 00:24:05.911 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
for basically a lifetime,
00:24:05.977 --> 00:24:08.013 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
on average, 70 years.
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.115 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Maybe you can give $48.
00:24:10.182 --> 00:24:11.550 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
It may not sound like a lot
00:24:11.616 --> 00:24:13.518 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
but it is huge because $48
00:24:13.585 --> 00:24:15.120 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
will give clean drinking water
00:24:15.187 --> 00:24:16.688 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
to ten people.
00:24:16.755 --> 00:24:18.256 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I only wish that we could
00:24:18.323 --> 00:24:20.192 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
have given that man's son
00:24:20.258 --> 00:24:21.593 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
clean drinking water
00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:23.161 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
before it was too late.
00:24:23.228 --> 00:24:24.396 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
There are many others
00:24:24.462 --> 00:24:25.664 align:start line:10% position:10% size:30%
that need us
00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:26.898 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
to do something now.
00:24:26.965 --> 00:24:28.099 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Will you go online,
00:24:28.166 --> 00:24:29.301 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
go to the phone,
00:24:29.367 --> 00:24:31.636 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
make the best gift you can?
00:24:31.703 --> 00:24:34.706 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
Let's tell a story of life --
00:24:34.773 --> 00:24:37.776 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
no more stories of death.
00:24:38.777 --> 00:24:41.046 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
Every day, thousands
of lives are lost
00:24:41.112 --> 00:24:43.048 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
to waterborne disease,
00:24:43.114 --> 00:24:45.050 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
and nearly half of those
are children
00:24:45.116 --> 00:24:47.052 align:center line:10% position:50% size:33%
under the age
of five.
00:24:47.118 --> 00:24:49.054 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.976 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%

will help provide for ten.
00:25:11.042 --> 00:25:13.378 align:center line:10% position:33% size:43%
And $144
will help provide

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:17.649 align:center line:10% position:30% size:38%

make an enormous impact
00:26:15.807 --> 00:26:16.841 align:start line:53% position:10% size:30%

we want to send you

Barb's book.
00:26:23.248 --> 00:26:24.249 align:start line:53% position:10% size:43%
You will love it.
00:26:24.316 --> 00:26:25.283 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
Just request it
00:26:25.350 --> 00:26:26.318 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
when you make that call.
00:26:26.384 --> 00:26:27.352 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
And we'll get it
00:26:27.419 --> 00:26:28.386 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
right out to you.
00:26:28.453 --> 00:26:29.421 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
I want to share something,
00:26:29.487 --> 00:26:30.455 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
a takeaway that I took away
00:26:30.522 --> 00:26:31.489 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
from chapter one
00:26:31.556 --> 00:26:32.524 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
from Barb's words.
00:26:32.590 --> 00:26:33.558 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
I hope this ministers to you
00:26:33.625 --> 00:26:36.361 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
like it did for me.
00:26:36.428 --> 00:26:37.595 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
"Feeling overwhelmed
00:26:37.662 --> 00:26:39.431 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
is nothing to be ashamed of.
00:26:39.497 --> 00:26:40.799 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
Life is often more
00:26:40.865 --> 00:26:42.434 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
than we can handle.
00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:43.902 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
Even for someone who has
00:26:43.969 --> 00:26:45.036 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
been walking with Jesus
00:26:45.103 --> 00:26:46.438 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
for a really long time.
00:26:46.504 --> 00:26:47.772 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
Spiritual maturity
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.207 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
doesn't mean that you
00:26:49.274 --> 00:26:51.776 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
won't experience overwhelm,
00:26:51.843 --> 00:26:53.511 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
but your connection with God
00:26:53.578 --> 00:26:55.647 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
keeps you from getting stuck."
00:26:55.714 --> 00:26:58.483 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
I believe he wants us to live
00:26:58.550 --> 00:27:00.618 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
a life fulfilled and free
00:27:00.685 --> 00:27:02.020 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
from being overwhelmed,
00:27:02.087 --> 00:27:03.254 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
out of control,
00:27:03.321 --> 00:27:04.389 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
and feeling like we're stuck
00:27:04.456 --> 00:27:06.391 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
because we're so stressed out.
00:27:06.458 --> 00:27:07.559 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
We want you to be free
00:27:07.625 --> 00:27:08.660 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
from that.
00:27:08.727 --> 00:27:09.861 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
I want to be free
00:27:09.928 --> 00:27:10.929 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
from that in my life.
00:27:10.996 --> 00:27:11.997 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
Barb, thank you for today.
00:27:12.063 --> 00:27:13.231 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
Thank you for this book.
00:27:13.298 --> 00:27:14.366 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%

to all of us.
00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:16.634 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
And you are a blessing to us.
00:27:16.701 --> 00:27:17.769 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
We hope that this show
00:27:17.836 --> 00:27:18.903 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
will encourage you
00:27:18.970 --> 00:27:20.038 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
to move forward
00:27:20.105 --> 00:27:21.339 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
in the practice of being free
00:27:21.406 --> 00:27:22.474 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
from stress in your life.
00:27:22.540 --> 00:27:23.608 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
Thank you for watching.
00:27:23.675 --> 00:27:24.743 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
We'll see you next time
