Serve me.
00:00:18.585 --> 00:00:20.553 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
I'm super thankful
for that
00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.056 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
but I also think
of Jesus who said,
00:00:23.123 --> 00:00:27.494 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
"I came to serve
and not to be served."

00:01:16.376 --> 00:01:17.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because Jennifer has an
00:01:17.911 --> 00:01:19.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
incredible new Bible study out
00:01:19.612 --> 00:01:20.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
called, Heaven:

When Faith Becomes Sight.
00:01:22.215 --> 00:01:23.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And let me tell you,
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:25.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it is so, so good.
00:01:25.151 --> 00:01:26.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So welcome back, my friend.
00:01:26.853 --> 00:01:28.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's good to have you.
00:01:28.421 --> 00:01:30.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We touched on so many things
00:01:30.089 --> 00:01:31.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
on the last show,
00:01:31.491 --> 00:01:33.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so I was like, stay, stay,
00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:34.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because there's so much more
00:01:34.828 --> 00:01:35.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we have to talk about.
00:01:35.995 --> 00:01:37.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I actually want to start by,
00:01:37.163 --> 00:01:38.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you know, when I look
00:01:38.364 --> 00:01:39.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
at your Bible study,
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
you have a beautiful cover --
00:01:40.967 --> 00:01:42.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a beautiful cover.
00:01:42.135 --> 00:01:43.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I kind of wonder,
00:01:43.536 --> 00:01:45.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
what do the blue flowers mean?
00:01:45.305 --> 00:01:46.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Do they have meaning?
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:47.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JENNIFER: The blue flower
00:01:47.941 --> 00:01:49.209 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
was super important to me,
00:01:49.275 --> 00:01:50.577 align:start line:63% position:10% size:15%
Tammy.
00:01:50.643 --> 00:01:51.878 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'll tell you why.
00:01:51.945 --> 00:01:53.780 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I didn't want any imagery
00:01:53.847 --> 00:01:55.315 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that would be what one
00:01:55.381 --> 00:01:57.217 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
would expect with heaven.
00:01:57.283 --> 00:01:58.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You know, like clouds
00:01:58.451 --> 00:01:59.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
or angels or harps.
00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:00.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I wanted to do something
00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:02.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that might capture
00:02:02.188 --> 00:02:03.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
our imagination.
00:02:03.356 --> 00:02:04.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So I happen to be
00:02:04.591 --> 00:02:06.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a C.S. Lewis junkie.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
TAMMY: Yes, I know this.
00:02:07.494 --> 00:02:09.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
JENNIFER: I love his work.
00:02:09.429 --> 00:02:11.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And so a while back,
00:02:11.464 --> 00:02:12.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I was reading --
00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:13.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
well, listening.
00:02:13.833 --> 00:02:15.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I listen to audiobooks
00:02:15.068 --> 00:02:16.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because I'm blind.
00:02:16.402 --> 00:02:17.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I was listening to his book,
00:02:17.670 --> 00:02:18.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Surprised by Joy,
00:02:18.938 --> 00:02:20.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and at the very beginning,
00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:21.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the first chapter,
00:02:21.374 --> 00:02:23.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
he said that he was a votary
00:02:23.776 --> 00:02:25.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of the blue flower.
00:02:25.144 --> 00:02:26.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
A votary is a devotee,
00:02:27.013 --> 00:02:28.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
somebody who is devoted to.
00:02:28.781 --> 00:02:30.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So he said he was basically
00:02:30.683 --> 00:02:32.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
devoted to the blue flower.
00:02:32.218 --> 00:02:33.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I was like, well,
00:02:33.386 --> 00:02:34.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I'm devoted to C.S. Lewis
00:02:34.621 --> 00:02:35.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
so I need to know
00:02:35.788 --> 00:02:36.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what in the world
00:02:36.856 --> 00:02:38.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we are both devoted to.
00:02:38.291 --> 00:02:40.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
The blue flower, originally
00:02:40.727 --> 00:02:43.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in German Romantic literature,
00:02:43.963 --> 00:02:47.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
was used to represent longing
00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and transcendence
00:02:49.168 --> 00:02:50.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and beauty
00:02:50.403 --> 00:02:51.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and like the ache
00:02:52.005 --> 00:02:53.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for the eternal.
00:02:53.473 --> 00:02:54.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So what C.S. Lewis
00:02:54.874 --> 00:02:56.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was saying is,
00:02:56.276 --> 00:02:57.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I just have this ache
00:02:57.610 --> 00:02:58.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for the eternal.
00:02:58.978 --> 00:03:00.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And I'm so devoted
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:01.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to this longing.
00:03:02.048 --> 00:03:03.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Tammy, the beautiful thing
00:03:03.550 --> 00:03:04.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
about longing for heaven is
00:03:04.817 --> 00:03:06.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it's this ache that we feel.
00:03:06.553 --> 00:03:08.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's almost satisfying
00:03:08.988 --> 00:03:10.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when it's unfulfilled still,
00:03:10.590 --> 00:03:11.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
you know,
00:03:11.891 --> 00:03:13.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as we're walking by faith
00:03:13.126 --> 00:03:14.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
because we know
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
there will come a day
00:03:15.595 --> 00:03:16.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
when faith becomes sight.
00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:18.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So, literally,
00:03:18.231 --> 00:03:19.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the blue flower to me
00:03:19.666 --> 00:03:21.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
represents this longing
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:22.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
for heaven
00:03:22.435 --> 00:03:23.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and the beauty of heaven.
00:03:23.670 --> 00:03:24.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
TAMMY: Oh, I love that, Jen.
00:03:24.904 --> 00:03:26.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And the longing is real.
00:03:26.072 --> 00:03:27.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I feel it!
00:03:27.173 --> 00:03:28.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I feel it, especially
00:03:28.241 --> 00:03:29.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
on the hard days.
00:03:29.409 --> 00:03:30.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Oh, I just want
00:03:30.510 --> 00:03:31.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to get out of here.
00:03:31.578 --> 00:03:32.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Better life.
00:03:32.745 --> 00:03:33.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But how do we keep that?
00:03:34.047 --> 00:03:35.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
JENNIFER: Well,
00:03:35.348 --> 00:03:36.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I think what's helped me
00:03:36.516 --> 00:03:39.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is to be able to -- here's
00:03:39.252 --> 00:03:40.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what I'm going to call it,
00:03:40.587 --> 00:03:41.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
since we're talking
00:03:41.721 --> 00:03:42.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
about flowers,
00:03:42.922 --> 00:03:44.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
"Smell the fragrance
00:03:44.190 --> 00:03:45.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
of heaven."
00:03:45.391 --> 00:03:46.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So here's what I mean.
00:03:46.559 --> 00:03:49.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
When I was 15 years old,
00:03:49.195 --> 00:03:51.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I lost most of my eyesight
00:03:51.464 --> 00:03:52.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to a blinding disease
00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:54.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
called retinitis pigmentosa.
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:55.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So, within a couple of years,
00:03:55.802 --> 00:03:57.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I literally could not see
00:03:57.070 --> 00:03:58.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
well enough to navigate.
00:03:58.404 --> 00:03:59.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I learned to walk with
00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:02.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a white cane when I was 17.
00:04:02.275 --> 00:04:03.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Well, I remember
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:04.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
my very first lesson
00:04:04.978 --> 00:04:06.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of learning to walk
00:04:06.179 --> 00:04:07.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the dark.
00:04:07.413 --> 00:04:08.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
My mobility instructor's name
00:04:08.615 --> 00:04:09.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
was Mike and he gave me
00:04:09.949 --> 00:04:11.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
this white cane,
00:04:11.184 --> 00:04:12.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and he taught me
00:04:12.352 --> 00:04:13.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
how to hold it
00:04:13.486 --> 00:04:14.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and how to move it,
00:04:14.587 --> 00:04:15.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and where to tap
00:04:15.755 --> 00:04:16.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and how to navigate
00:04:16.856 --> 00:04:17.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the rough places.
00:04:18.057 --> 00:04:19.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We literally walked
00:04:19.158 --> 00:04:20.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
all around my neighborhood
00:04:20.226 --> 00:04:21.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in Miami, Florida.
00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:22.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He taught me how to turn,
00:04:22.462 --> 00:04:23.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and it was very stressful.
00:04:23.663 --> 00:04:24.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So we get near my home
00:04:24.931 --> 00:04:26.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and we're about
00:04:26.232 --> 00:04:27.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to turn the corner,
00:04:27.467 --> 00:04:28.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and I am sweating
00:04:28.635 --> 00:04:29.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
from the Miami heat
00:04:29.836 --> 00:04:30.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
but also because
00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:32.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I was so stressed out.
00:04:32.105 --> 00:04:35.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He pauses and he asks me,
00:04:35.208 --> 00:04:37.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"Can you smell the flowers?"
00:04:37.777 --> 00:04:40.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I paused and I breathed in
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my surroundings and I could!
00:04:42.382 --> 00:04:45.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
There was this blooming bush
00:04:45.952 --> 00:04:47.620 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of lush hibiscus
00:04:47.687 --> 00:04:49.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
right there at the corner
00:04:49.088 --> 00:04:50.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in my home in Miami.
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:51.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
And I did!
00:04:51.691 --> 00:04:52.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I smelled the flowers.
00:04:52.992 --> 00:04:54.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I said, "Yes! I smell them."
00:04:54.227 --> 00:04:55.328 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He said, "Well,
00:04:55.395 --> 00:04:56.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
when you smell the flowers,
00:04:56.896 --> 00:04:58.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
you'll know
00:04:58.297 --> 00:04:59.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you're almost home."
00:04:59.832 --> 00:05:01.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And it was true.
00:05:01.234 --> 00:05:02.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
My father's house
00:05:02.402 --> 00:05:03.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
was just around the corner.
00:05:03.803 --> 00:05:05.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So if we want to keep
00:05:05.071 --> 00:05:07.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the longing of heaven alive,
00:05:07.473 --> 00:05:09.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
we've got to just pause,
00:05:09.842 --> 00:05:11.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and breathe in
00:05:11.411 --> 00:05:12.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the fragrance of heaven
00:05:12.679 --> 00:05:13.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because literally,
00:05:13.813 --> 00:05:15.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it is wafting down
00:05:15.081 --> 00:05:16.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the paths we walk.
00:05:16.482 --> 00:05:17.817 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
It is within all the voices
00:05:17.884 --> 00:05:19.218 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
that we hear.
00:05:19.285 --> 00:05:20.553 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
It is within the beauty
00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:21.888 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
we behold.
00:05:21.954 --> 00:05:23.189 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
It's a reminder that
00:05:23.256 --> 00:05:24.490 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
our Father's house
00:05:24.557 --> 00:05:25.692 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
is not far away.
00:05:25.758 --> 00:05:26.926 align:start line:63% position:10% size:18%
So like
00:05:26.993 --> 00:05:28.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in a very practical sense,
00:05:28.227 --> 00:05:29.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
like that's beautiful, right?
00:05:29.462 --> 00:05:30.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But how do you do that
00:05:30.663 --> 00:05:31.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when you've got dirty dishes
00:05:31.898 --> 00:05:33.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and you've just lost your job
00:05:33.366 --> 00:05:34.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and you're stuck somewhere?
00:05:34.934 --> 00:05:36.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You know what I'm saying.
00:05:36.169 --> 00:05:37.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
TAMMY: I do,
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:38.271 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
and I'll tell you.
00:05:38.337 --> 00:05:39.338 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
I'm going to jump in and say
00:05:39.405 --> 00:05:40.440 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
I know exactly what to do now
00:05:40.506 --> 00:05:41.674 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
in that moment when
00:05:41.741 --> 00:05:42.809 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
the dirty dishes are there
00:05:42.875 --> 00:05:43.943 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
and I can't get
00:05:44.010 --> 00:05:45.011 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
the printer started.
00:05:45.078 --> 00:05:46.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'm going to fall
00:05:46.212 --> 00:05:47.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on the ground
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:48.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in my kitchen and cry,
00:05:48.414 --> 00:05:49.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and then let it all out.
00:05:49.682 --> 00:05:50.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And then take a breath,
00:05:50.817 --> 00:05:53.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and pause, and breathe in,
00:05:53.252 --> 00:05:55.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and exhale.
00:05:55.321 --> 00:05:56.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And say, I'm not that far.
00:05:57.056 --> 00:05:58.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
My Father's home
00:05:58.524 --> 00:05:59.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is not that far.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So this too shall pass.
00:06:01.194 --> 00:06:02.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You'll get through this.
00:06:02.562 --> 00:06:03.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You'll get through this.
00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:05.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Take another deep breath
00:06:05.298 --> 00:06:06.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and just be in the moment.
00:06:06.733 --> 00:06:07.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JENNIFER: Well, you know,
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I talk about you,
00:06:09.202 --> 00:06:11.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in my Bible study, Tammy.
00:06:11.104 --> 00:06:12.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I haven't even told you this
00:06:12.505 --> 00:06:13.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
because I think
00:06:13.873 --> 00:06:15.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
part of the way
00:06:15.174 --> 00:06:16.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that we tune in to eternity,
00:06:16.576 --> 00:06:17.677 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that we keep this longing
00:06:17.744 --> 00:06:18.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of heaven alive,
00:06:18.945 --> 00:06:20.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
breathe in the fragrance is --
00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:22.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
well, I'll give you three ways
00:06:22.348 --> 00:06:23.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and you'll see
00:06:23.649 --> 00:06:24.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
where you come into this.
00:06:24.817 --> 00:06:25.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
One of the first ways
00:06:25.952 --> 00:06:27.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is by beauty --
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
beholding beauty.
00:06:28.354 --> 00:06:29.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Like if my eyes could
00:06:29.555 --> 00:06:30.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
still behold a blue flower.
00:06:30.823 --> 00:06:32.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Oh, how I knew
00:06:32.225 --> 00:06:33.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
it would awaken.
00:06:33.659 --> 00:06:35.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Because I remember being able
00:06:35.328 --> 00:06:36.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to see a blue flower.
00:06:36.896 --> 00:06:40.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The delicate, fragile petals
00:06:40.967 --> 00:06:42.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of a blue hydrangea.
00:06:42.201 --> 00:06:43.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Those beautiful
00:06:43.402 --> 00:06:45.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
bluish-green hues.
00:06:45.104 --> 00:06:47.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I even remember before
00:06:47.073 --> 00:06:50.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I lost my sight completely.
00:06:50.409 --> 00:06:51.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I remember I was in Florida
00:06:51.944 --> 00:06:53.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and I was with
00:06:53.246 --> 00:06:54.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
my then-boyfriend at the time,
00:06:54.514 --> 00:06:55.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
who I married.
00:06:55.882 --> 00:06:57.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We stopped at a stoplight,
00:06:57.917 --> 00:06:59.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
leaving his home,
00:06:59.385 --> 00:07:00.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and it was the most
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
beautiful sunset.
00:07:02.355 --> 00:07:03.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I still had
00:07:03.823 --> 00:07:05.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
just enough perception
00:07:05.224 --> 00:07:06.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that I could detect
00:07:06.492 --> 00:07:09.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
those coral and salmon hues
00:07:09.128 --> 00:07:10.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the way that golden light
00:07:10.897 --> 00:07:12.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
was shafting through.
00:07:12.365 --> 00:07:14.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I remember just studying it,
00:07:14.801 --> 00:07:16.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
almost taking a picture
00:07:16.202 --> 00:07:17.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in my mind's eye.
00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:19.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I still see that picture
00:07:19.205 --> 00:07:20.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in my mind, even though
00:07:20.573 --> 00:07:21.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I can't see it with my eyes.
00:07:22.008 --> 00:07:23.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
The beauty --
00:07:23.476 --> 00:07:24.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the beauty reminds me
00:07:24.844 --> 00:07:26.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that what I behold now
00:07:26.913 --> 00:07:28.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is beautiful.
00:07:28.514 --> 00:07:29.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm going to be held
00:07:29.782 --> 00:07:30.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
by that beauty for eternity.
00:07:31.017 --> 00:07:33.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But then there's another way.
00:07:33.152 --> 00:07:35.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Our emotions,
00:07:35.788 --> 00:07:38.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the longings, the loss,
00:07:38.758 --> 00:07:39.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and this is where
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I think about you
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
because you lost
00:07:42.495 --> 00:07:43.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
your husband, Trent,
00:07:43.763 --> 00:07:44.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when you were just
00:07:45.064 --> 00:07:46.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
so newly married,
00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:47.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the first decade, I think.
00:07:47.700 --> 00:07:48.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
TAMMY: Yep, yep!
00:07:49.035 --> 00:07:50.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
JENNIFER: I remember
00:07:50.403 --> 00:07:51.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
one time when we were
00:07:51.704 --> 00:07:53.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
ministering together,
00:07:53.172 --> 00:07:55.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you talked about how Trent
00:07:56.042 --> 00:07:59.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is not just in your past,
00:07:59.178 --> 00:08:00.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but Trent is in your future.
00:08:00.713 --> 00:08:01.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I've thought about that
00:08:02.048 --> 00:08:03.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
so many times because
00:08:03.416 --> 00:08:05.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
as we have experiences in life
00:08:05.384 --> 00:08:07.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that bring us deep emotions
00:08:07.153 --> 00:08:08.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
of sadness,
00:08:08.788 --> 00:08:10.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
they can at the same time
00:08:10.356 --> 00:08:14.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
awaken deep responses of joy.
00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Because that loved one
00:08:16.262 --> 00:08:17.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
who's in our past, in Christ
00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:19.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that loved one is also
00:08:19.398 --> 00:08:20.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in our future.
00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:21.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
TAMMY: Hallelujah!
00:08:22.034 --> 00:08:23.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JENNIFER: That's smelling
00:08:23.202 --> 00:08:24.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the fragrance of heaven.
00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:25.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Okay. One more.
00:08:25.538 --> 00:08:26.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The experiences
00:08:26.706 --> 00:08:27.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we have in life,
00:08:27.907 --> 00:08:29.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
the adventure.
00:08:29.108 --> 00:08:30.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I remember dancing
00:08:30.276 --> 00:08:31.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
at my oldest son's wedding,
00:08:31.410 --> 00:08:32.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I loved that sense
00:08:32.578 --> 00:08:33.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of freedom and beauty.
00:08:33.713 --> 00:08:35.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
That experience awakened in me
00:08:35.281 --> 00:08:36.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a longing for that day
00:08:36.716 --> 00:08:37.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when I'm going to dance
00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:39.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
before the throne.
00:08:39.218 --> 00:08:40.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I remember one time
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I got to climb
00:08:42.021 --> 00:08:43.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the Great Wall of China.
00:08:43.256 --> 00:08:44.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
TAMMY: You did?
00:08:44.423 --> 00:08:45.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
What was that experience like?
00:08:45.791 --> 00:08:47.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
JENNIFER: It was hard,
00:08:47.526 --> 00:08:49.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And it was exhilarating.
00:08:49.762 --> 00:08:50.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Of course,
00:08:51.030 --> 00:08:52.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I was holding a cane
00:08:52.164 --> 00:08:53.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I was holding a human,
00:08:53.266 --> 00:08:54.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I was holding,
00:08:54.467 --> 00:08:55.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
holding, holding.
00:08:55.801 --> 00:08:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But you know what?
00:08:56.969 --> 00:08:58.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It awakened in me?
00:08:58.237 --> 00:08:59.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
This reminder that someday
00:08:59.572 --> 00:09:00.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when my faith becomes sight,
00:09:00.806 --> 00:09:02.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that I'm going to be trekking
00:09:02.141 --> 00:09:04.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the new earth, all the glory
00:09:04.911 --> 00:09:06.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of God's renewed
00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.713 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and restored creation,
00:09:07.780 --> 00:09:09.548 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
even as it was intended to be.
00:09:09.615 --> 00:09:10.983 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
So that's what I'm saying.
00:09:11.050 --> 00:09:12.251 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Those are all ways
00:09:12.318 --> 00:09:13.552 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
to breathe in
00:09:13.619 --> 00:09:15.187 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the fragrance of heaven.
00:09:15.254 --> 00:09:16.355 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So don't just speed
00:09:16.422 --> 00:09:17.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
through your day.
00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:18.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Pause. Smell the flowers.
00:09:18.858 --> 00:09:20.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Know you're almost home.
00:09:20.126 --> 00:09:21.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
TAMMY: Oh, my goodness. Okay.
00:09:21.327 --> 00:09:22.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So then how do we live
00:09:22.628 --> 00:09:24.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
within the dash?
00:09:24.764 --> 00:09:25.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JENNIFER: I'm going
00:09:25.932 --> 00:09:27.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to give you two ways.
00:09:27.166 --> 00:09:28.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
One, you speak sojourn.
00:09:28.301 --> 00:09:29.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
We were together
00:09:29.468 --> 00:09:30.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
on the last time
00:09:30.636 --> 00:09:31.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we talked about heaven.
00:09:31.771 --> 00:09:32.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I told you that phrase,
00:09:32.872 --> 00:09:34.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
"Earth is short,
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:35.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
heaven is long."
00:09:35.274 --> 00:09:36.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
For me,
00:09:36.309 --> 00:09:37.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that's a sojourn statement
00:09:37.376 --> 00:09:38.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
because you're living
00:09:38.444 --> 00:09:39.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
within the dashes.
00:09:39.512 --> 00:09:40.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
If you think about when you
00:09:40.579 --> 00:09:41.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
walk through a cemetery,
00:09:41.647 --> 00:09:42.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you see a birth date on
00:09:42.715 --> 00:09:43.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a tombstone, you see a dash
00:09:43.783 --> 00:09:44.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and you see a death date.
00:09:44.850 --> 00:09:45.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And all of our birth dates,
00:09:45.918 --> 00:09:46.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
all of our death dates
00:09:46.986 --> 00:09:47.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
are different but what we all
00:09:48.054 --> 00:09:49.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
have in common is that dash.
00:09:49.121 --> 00:09:50.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
That's how we live
00:09:50.189 --> 00:09:51.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in the middle
00:09:51.324 --> 00:09:53.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in this meaningful meantime.
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:54.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So, in my Heaven Bible study,
00:09:54.794 --> 00:09:56.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I literally have what I call
00:09:56.362 --> 00:09:58.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"Dash Living Days."
00:09:58.397 --> 00:10:00.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And we think about the fact
00:10:00.333 --> 00:10:01.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that not just Jesus died
00:10:01.734 --> 00:10:02.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to bring us to heaven,
00:10:02.802 --> 00:10:05.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
but to bring heaven to us now,
00:10:05.938 --> 00:10:07.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the dashes.
00:10:07.540 --> 00:10:09.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So I help us create
00:10:09.475 --> 00:10:11.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what I call our dash values.
00:10:11.277 --> 00:10:12.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
What matters to me?
00:10:12.878 --> 00:10:14.380 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Like I'm going to write down
00:10:14.447 --> 00:10:15.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
what I value in life,
00:10:15.781 --> 00:10:17.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what matters because it
00:10:17.883 --> 00:10:20.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
helps us live intentionally.
00:10:20.619 --> 00:10:21.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I have a place
00:10:21.821 --> 00:10:23.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in the Bible study
00:10:23.155 --> 00:10:24.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
where I encourage us to,
00:10:24.423 --> 00:10:25.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the dashes,
00:10:25.758 --> 00:10:26.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
leave our blessings.
00:10:26.926 --> 00:10:28.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You've done this Bible study
00:10:28.527 --> 00:10:29.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and your niece opens it up
00:10:29.829 --> 00:10:31.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and she goes, "Look what
00:10:31.130 --> 00:10:32.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Aunt Tammy said to me.
00:10:32.331 --> 00:10:33.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
She left a blessing here
00:10:33.566 --> 00:10:34.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for me."
00:10:34.767 --> 00:10:36.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Even leaving those blessings
00:10:36.135 --> 00:10:38.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
helps you to live blessings
00:10:38.738 --> 00:10:40.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and to live generously.
00:10:40.239 --> 00:10:41.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Another thing we do
00:10:41.407 --> 00:10:42.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the Heaven Bible studies,
00:10:42.575 --> 00:10:43.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we record what I call
00:10:43.709 --> 00:10:44.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
"Our dash memories,"
00:10:44.877 --> 00:10:46.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
things that are special
00:10:46.145 --> 00:10:47.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
to you.
00:10:47.313 --> 00:10:48.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
What it does is it leaves it
00:10:48.547 --> 00:10:50.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
as a legacy for those you love
00:10:50.549 --> 00:10:51.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
when you leave,
00:10:51.851 --> 00:10:53.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but it also helps you
00:10:53.185 --> 00:10:54.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to live gratefully now,
00:10:54.653 --> 00:10:55.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to be mindful,
00:10:56.055 --> 00:10:58.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to live everyday
00:10:58.157 --> 00:11:00.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
as fully intentional
00:11:00.226 --> 00:11:01.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and grateful.
00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:02.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
TAMMY: Yes.
00:11:02.862 --> 00:11:04.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Can I ask you
00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:05.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a personal question?
00:11:05.297 --> 00:11:07.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So what is your hope
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:09.402 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
for heaven, personally?
00:11:09.468 --> 00:11:10.569 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
You know, as you were diving
00:11:10.636 --> 00:11:11.771 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
into this study
00:11:11.837 --> 00:11:13.839 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and I wonder if Holy Spirit
00:11:13.906 --> 00:11:15.141 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
spoke to you at all,
00:11:15.207 --> 00:11:17.176 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
or if you've carried around
00:11:17.243 --> 00:11:18.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
anything with you
00:11:18.411 --> 00:11:19.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
where you're just like,
00:11:19.578 --> 00:11:20.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
this is really -- yes,
00:11:20.746 --> 00:11:21.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you hope to spend time,
00:11:21.914 --> 00:11:23.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and you will, with your dad.
00:11:23.883 --> 00:11:26.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
In blindness, I want to see,
00:11:26.118 --> 00:11:27.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
is there anything beyond that
00:11:27.787 --> 00:11:28.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
where you're just like,
00:11:28.954 --> 00:11:30.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I've never really talked
00:11:30.122 --> 00:11:31.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
about this
00:11:31.223 --> 00:11:32.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but this is a big hope
00:11:32.291 --> 00:11:36.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
that I have.
00:11:36.095 --> 00:11:37.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
JENNIFER: Yeah.
00:11:37.530 --> 00:11:38.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It might sound strange
00:11:38.731 --> 00:11:39.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
unless somebody
00:11:39.932 --> 00:11:41.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
has lived within my skin
00:11:41.133 --> 00:11:44.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
for the last many decades.
00:11:44.136 --> 00:11:45.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
One of the things that
00:11:45.438 --> 00:11:49.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I am aware of with blindness
00:11:49.308 --> 00:11:52.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is how many people
00:11:52.411 --> 00:11:55.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
have to serve me,
00:11:55.414 --> 00:11:57.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I'm so grateful for it.
00:11:57.216 --> 00:11:58.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But, I literally
00:11:58.584 --> 00:11:59.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
have to hold someone's arm
00:11:59.885 --> 00:12:00.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to walk somewhere.
00:12:01.053 --> 00:12:02.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I have to be told
00:12:02.455 --> 00:12:03.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
where the food is on my plate.
00:12:03.756 --> 00:12:05.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Often, it's cut for me.
00:12:05.257 --> 00:12:06.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Someone is always serving me.
00:12:06.592 --> 00:12:08.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
If I need more beverage
00:12:08.094 --> 00:12:09.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in a restaurant, you know,
00:12:09.862 --> 00:12:10.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
someone has to bring it
00:12:11.030 --> 00:12:12.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and serve me, serve me,
00:12:12.198 --> 00:12:13.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
serve me my whole life.
00:12:13.332 --> 00:12:15.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
Serve me.
00:12:15.101 --> 00:12:17.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm super thankful for that
00:12:17.736 --> 00:12:19.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but I also think of Jesus
00:12:19.538 --> 00:12:23.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
who said, "I came to serve
00:12:23.209 --> 00:12:24.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and not to be served."
00:12:25.044 --> 00:12:27.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I know it sounds strange,
00:12:27.546 --> 00:12:28.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I really do, and I don't
00:12:28.681 --> 00:12:29.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
want it to sound weirdly
00:12:29.782 --> 00:12:30.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
like false humility
00:12:30.850 --> 00:12:31.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because it's not.
00:12:31.984 --> 00:12:33.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
To me it's liberty.
00:12:33.586 --> 00:12:35.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
When I'm on the new Earth
00:12:35.254 --> 00:12:36.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I'm stepping fully
00:12:36.455 --> 00:12:37.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
into my glorious, unending,
00:12:37.590 --> 00:12:39.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in my resurrected body
00:12:39.525 --> 00:12:42.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that will know no corruption,
00:12:43.062 --> 00:12:44.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I'm going to be able to serve.
00:12:44.930 --> 00:12:46.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm going to be able to,
00:12:46.665 --> 00:12:47.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
if we have houses
00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:48.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and they get dirty,
00:12:48.801 --> 00:12:49.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I will be able
00:12:49.902 --> 00:12:51.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to clean that house.
00:12:51.070 --> 00:12:52.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
If you've got a porkchop
00:12:52.338 --> 00:12:53.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
on your plate,
00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:54.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm going to be like,
00:12:54.607 --> 00:12:55.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
no, Tammy!
00:12:55.708 --> 00:12:56.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Do not touch it.
00:12:56.775 --> 00:12:57.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I am going to cut that meat
00:12:57.776 --> 00:12:58.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:12:58.878 --> 00:13:00.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
TAMMY: I love it.
00:13:00.112 --> 00:13:01.080 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
JENNIFER: There is something
00:13:01.147 --> 00:13:02.181 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
about it that unless --
00:13:02.248 --> 00:13:03.349 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
and I know
00:13:03.415 --> 00:13:04.483 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
there's someone watching
00:13:04.550 --> 00:13:05.584 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
who knows because
00:13:05.651 --> 00:13:06.619 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
they've been in a wheelchair
00:13:06.685 --> 00:13:07.686 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
their whole life
00:13:07.753 --> 00:13:08.787 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
and they know
00:13:08.854 --> 00:13:09.889 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
what I'm talking about,
00:13:09.955 --> 00:13:10.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
it is liberty
00:13:11.056 --> 00:13:12.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to be able to serve others.
00:13:12.258 --> 00:13:13.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
In some ways, that's one
00:13:13.325 --> 00:13:14.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of the joys of heaven for me.
00:13:14.527 --> 00:13:15.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
TAMMY: Oh, my gosh,
00:13:15.694 --> 00:13:16.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I could totally,
00:13:16.795 --> 00:13:17.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I could feel --
00:13:17.997 --> 00:13:19.365 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I could feel you.
00:13:19.431 --> 00:13:20.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I could see the tears
00:13:20.966 --> 00:13:22.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in your eyes.
00:13:22.401 --> 00:13:23.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And I think you're right.
00:13:23.536 --> 00:13:24.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
You hit it.
00:13:24.637 --> 00:13:25.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
There are a lot of people
00:13:25.871 --> 00:13:27.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that watch Life Today
00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:28.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that can't move
00:13:28.374 --> 00:13:29.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
out of their home,
00:13:29.475 --> 00:13:30.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that are bedridden.
00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:31.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We've even had guests
00:13:31.810 --> 00:13:33.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
on our shows that have said
00:13:33.078 --> 00:13:34.180 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it was so hard for me
00:13:34.246 --> 00:13:35.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to get here today
00:13:35.414 --> 00:13:37.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because I can hardly move.
00:13:37.716 --> 00:13:38.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But I watch your show
00:13:38.951 --> 00:13:39.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
every day
00:13:40.052 --> 00:13:41.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because I want hope.
00:13:41.187 --> 00:13:42.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I want to know the truth
00:13:42.321 --> 00:13:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of God's Word.
00:13:43.455 --> 00:13:44.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I want to hear
00:13:44.557 --> 00:13:45.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from somebody else
00:13:45.658 --> 00:13:46.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that's gone before me
00:13:46.792 --> 00:13:47.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that feels what I feel,
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that can encourage me.
00:13:49.094 --> 00:13:50.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So how could we really lean in
00:13:50.129 --> 00:13:51.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
together?
00:13:51.297 --> 00:13:52.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
JENNIFER: Well,
00:13:52.431 --> 00:13:53.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
what I would say is that
00:13:53.599 --> 00:13:56.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
heaven is not just a someday
00:13:56.268 --> 00:13:57.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
when your last tear
00:13:57.636 --> 00:13:58.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is wiped away
00:13:58.837 --> 00:13:59.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
kind of experience.
00:13:59.939 --> 00:14:01.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Heaven can be today.
00:14:02.041 --> 00:14:03.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We still live within
00:14:03.309 --> 00:14:05.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the confines of earth,
00:14:05.277 --> 00:14:07.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
within the world weariness
00:14:07.746 --> 00:14:09.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
that comes
00:14:09.181 --> 00:14:10.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
from walking by faith.
00:14:10.716 --> 00:14:12.985 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
But because heaven is real,
00:14:13.052 --> 00:14:14.186 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
it can make
00:14:14.253 --> 00:14:15.521 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
a real difference today.
00:14:15.588 --> 00:14:16.822 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
And if you're struggling,
00:14:16.889 --> 00:14:20.359 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
if you're feeling confined,
00:14:20.426 --> 00:14:21.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
remember Earth is short
00:14:21.961 --> 00:14:23.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and Heaven is long.
00:14:23.362 --> 00:14:24.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But not only is Heaven
00:14:24.763 --> 00:14:25.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
going to last longer
00:14:25.931 --> 00:14:27.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
than your pain,
00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:29.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but heaven is an equal
00:14:29.301 --> 00:14:31.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
opportunity invitation.
00:14:31.837 --> 00:14:33.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So this is what I would say.
00:14:33.105 --> 00:14:35.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You don't have to remain
00:14:35.307 --> 00:14:36.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in your hopelessness
00:14:36.609 --> 00:14:38.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
or uncertainty.
00:14:38.510 --> 00:14:40.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You can trust Jesus 100%
00:14:40.746 --> 00:14:43.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with all your questions,
00:14:43.282 --> 00:14:44.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with all your pain.
00:14:44.683 --> 00:14:46.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You can trust him
00:14:46.185 --> 00:14:49.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
because he loved you to death.
00:14:49.321 --> 00:14:50.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
In other words,
00:14:50.556 --> 00:14:51.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
he died on the cross for you
00:14:51.824 --> 00:14:53.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
so that you would not remain
00:14:53.692 --> 00:14:54.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in your hopelessness.
00:14:54.827 --> 00:14:57.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And to literally transfer from
00:14:57.229 --> 00:14:58.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that hopelessness of death
00:14:58.631 --> 00:14:59.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the beauty
00:14:59.932 --> 00:15:01.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and certainty of life
00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:02.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
is to simply say,
00:15:02.268 --> 00:15:04.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Jesus, come into my life.
00:15:04.770 --> 00:15:06.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Forgive me for my sin.
00:15:06.138 --> 00:15:08.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I trust you as my Savior.
00:15:08.407 --> 00:15:09.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You be in charge of my life
00:15:09.908 --> 00:15:11.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from this day forward and
00:15:11.410 --> 00:15:13.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
bring me to heaven someday
00:15:13.412 --> 00:15:14.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when this life is over.
00:15:14.947 --> 00:15:16.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
TAMMY: Oh, my gosh,
00:15:16.248 --> 00:15:17.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that's so good.
00:15:17.383 --> 00:15:18.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I think also at the same time,
00:15:18.984 --> 00:15:19.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
there is so much that
00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:22.254 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
God has for us still here
00:15:22.321 --> 00:15:23.422 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
if you have a pulse.
00:15:23.489 --> 00:15:24.523 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Don't you agree?
00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:25.591 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
Like you have to keep living
00:15:25.658 --> 00:15:27.359 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and living to the fullest
00:15:27.426 --> 00:15:28.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this side of heaven.
00:15:28.527 --> 00:15:29.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
JENNIFER: Well,
00:15:29.628 --> 00:15:30.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all of the New Testament
00:15:30.696 --> 00:15:31.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that's written to believers,
00:15:31.764 --> 00:15:32.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a lot of the believers
00:15:32.765 --> 00:15:33.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
thought this is it.
00:15:33.866 --> 00:15:34.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Like any day now
00:15:34.967 --> 00:15:36.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
this thing is over.
00:15:36.135 --> 00:15:37.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So when Peter is writing
00:15:37.269 --> 00:15:38.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to these people
00:15:38.337 --> 00:15:39.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who are in the thick
00:15:39.538 --> 00:15:40.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of persecution,
00:15:40.739 --> 00:15:41.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
everything is so hard,
00:15:41.974 --> 00:15:43.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he's basically saying,
00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:45.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
love each other well.
00:15:45.978 --> 00:15:47.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Keep expecting
00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the return of Christ.
00:15:48.981 --> 00:15:50.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
In other words,
00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:51.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
if you've got a pulse,
00:15:51.950 --> 00:15:54.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
until it's over, you live
00:15:54.453 --> 00:15:56.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
like it may not ever end.
00:15:56.689 --> 00:15:58.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
You live 100%
00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:00.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
loving like Jesus loved
00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:03.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
because everything you do now
00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:05.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is an investment you make
00:16:05.264 --> 00:16:06.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in that day.
00:16:06.732 --> 00:16:08.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And yet, there will be rewards
00:16:08.634 --> 00:16:11.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
for your perseverance here.
00:16:11.470 --> 00:16:12.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's what James 112 says;
00:16:12.771 --> 00:16:13.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"Blessed is the one
00:16:13.939 --> 00:16:15.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
who perseveres,
00:16:15.140 --> 00:16:16.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for they will be given
00:16:16.275 --> 00:16:17.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a crown of life."
00:16:17.443 --> 00:16:18.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
But you know
00:16:18.644 --> 00:16:19.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what the real crown is?
00:16:19.812 --> 00:16:20.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
I mean,
00:16:20.979 --> 00:16:22.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I hope I get that crown.
00:16:22.147 --> 00:16:23.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: I want that crown.
00:16:23.315 --> 00:16:24.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JENNIFER: But do you know
00:16:24.483 --> 00:16:25.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what I want it for?
00:16:25.651 --> 00:16:26.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
So I can lay it
00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:27.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
at the feet of Jesus
00:16:27.986 --> 00:16:29.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and say, "Thank you, Lord!"
00:16:29.154 --> 00:16:30.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So while we've got a pulse,
00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:32.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we do the hard things.
00:16:32.691 --> 00:16:34.827 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
We love. We listen.
00:16:34.893 --> 00:16:37.196 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
We serve. We give.
00:16:37.262 --> 00:16:38.864 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
Because the point is not Jesus
00:16:38.931 --> 00:16:40.499 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
just bringing us to heaven.
00:16:40.566 --> 00:16:41.800 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
The point is Jesus
00:16:41.867 --> 00:16:42.968 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
bringing heaven
00:16:43.035 --> 00:16:44.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to this earth now.
00:16:44.837 --> 00:16:46.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, as a redeemed child
00:16:46.105 --> 00:16:47.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of God, everywhere we walk
00:16:47.272 --> 00:16:48.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
should stamp out
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a little bit of ignorance.
00:16:49.541 --> 00:16:50.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Every word we speak
00:16:50.943 --> 00:16:52.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
should shed a lot more light
00:16:52.344 --> 00:16:53.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of who Christ is
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and make this world
00:16:54.947 --> 00:16:55.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
a better place.
00:16:56.014 --> 00:16:57.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So yeah, if you got a pulse,
00:16:57.116 --> 00:16:58.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you got a purpose.
00:16:58.183 --> 00:16:59.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And someday, you've got
00:16:59.218 --> 00:17:00.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a place called Heaven.
00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:01.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
TAMMY: That's right.
00:17:01.387 --> 00:17:02.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Live like you were made
00:17:02.454 --> 00:17:03.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for eternity.
00:17:03.622 --> 00:17:05.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Oh, it sets me on fire.
00:17:05.691 --> 00:17:06.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Inside I get excited.
00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:09.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Jen, I love this Bible study.
00:17:09.128 --> 00:17:11.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It will bless so many people
00:17:11.530 --> 00:17:13.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that have so many questions
00:17:13.365 --> 00:17:14.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
about heaven.
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:15.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
But also,
00:17:15.801 --> 00:17:16.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I love the video series.
00:17:16.835 --> 00:17:17.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You've got seven videos
00:17:17.936 --> 00:17:18.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in this Bible study,
00:17:18.971 --> 00:17:20.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and they are so good.
00:17:20.239 --> 00:17:21.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I don't know how
00:17:21.306 --> 00:17:22.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you remember everything
00:17:22.641 --> 00:17:23.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because you can't read it.
00:17:23.976 --> 00:17:25.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
You can't read it on a script,
00:17:25.344 --> 00:17:26.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but it's just downloaded
00:17:26.512 --> 00:17:28.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and it's good.
00:17:28.213 --> 00:17:29.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
The Lord gives you everything
00:17:29.715 --> 00:17:30.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that you need
00:17:30.849 --> 00:17:32.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and it's beautiful to watch.
00:17:32.351 --> 00:17:33.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And you know what?
00:17:33.485 --> 00:17:34.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
There are some people
00:17:34.553 --> 00:17:35.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
right now
00:17:35.687 --> 00:17:37.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that are in great need.
00:17:37.189 --> 00:17:38.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
They're in great need.
00:17:38.757 --> 00:17:40.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I visited these villages.
00:17:40.926 --> 00:17:42.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I visited these families.
00:17:42.561 --> 00:17:44.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I've often left there thinking
00:17:44.296 --> 00:17:45.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I see the need,
00:17:45.431 --> 00:17:46.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but how can I help?
00:17:46.498 --> 00:17:47.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
What can I do?
00:17:47.833 --> 00:17:48.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I have an opportunity
00:17:48.967 --> 00:17:50.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to come back here with you
00:17:50.102 --> 00:17:51.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
at this moment
00:17:51.303 --> 00:17:53.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and show you the needs.
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:55.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And then to ask you
00:17:55.607 --> 00:17:57.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
if you would come alongside me
00:17:57.776 --> 00:17:58.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and the rest of this ministry
00:17:59.011 --> 00:18:00.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and a whole lot
00:18:00.112 --> 00:18:01.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of other people
00:18:01.313 --> 00:18:02.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that are coming together
00:18:02.347 --> 00:18:03.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to bring life,
00:18:03.649 --> 00:18:04.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to bring hope,
00:18:04.983 --> 00:18:06.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to bring heaven,
00:18:06.685 --> 00:18:07.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and to bring clean water
00:18:07.953 --> 00:18:09.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to people that desperately
00:18:09.354 --> 00:18:10.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
need it right now.
00:18:10.756 --> 00:18:12.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:16.495 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
ISAK: We spent time
in this village here today
00:18:16.562 --> 00:18:19.531 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
and we've spoken to
various different mothers.
00:18:19.598 --> 00:18:21.533 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
We've been understanding
their story;
00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:23.535 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
the challenge,
the plight that they face,
00:18:23.602 --> 00:18:26.338 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
the suffering that
this village is going through
00:18:26.405 --> 00:18:28.941 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
because of the lack
of clean water.
00:18:29.007 --> 00:18:31.577 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
Not a lack of water,
there is a lot of water
as you can see behind me.
00:18:31.643 --> 00:18:33.579 align:start line:58% position:15% size:68%
But there is no clean water
in this village.
00:18:33.645 --> 00:18:35.581 align:start line:58% position:30% size:38%
They don't have
a well here.
00:18:35.647 --> 00:18:37.883 align:start line:74% position:23% size:55%
This is their
only source of water
they come and collect.
00:18:37.950 --> 00:18:41.420 align:start line:74% position:23% size:53%
It is dirty,
it is disease-filled,
contaminated water
00:18:41.487 --> 00:18:43.989 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
that they have to carry
back to their families.
00:18:44.056 --> 00:18:46.225 align:start line:79% position:35% size:30%
Mothers have
two options.
00:18:46.291 --> 00:18:48.227 align:center line:85% position:50% size:33%
One option is
00:18:48.293 --> 00:18:51.129 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
they could not give
their children water at all.
00:18:51.196 --> 00:18:53.131 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
They know
the outcome of that.
00:18:53.198 --> 00:18:55.534 align:start line:74% position:25% size:48%
It is pretty rapid
and it steals their
children's lives.
00:18:55.601 --> 00:18:57.536 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
The other option
is to give their children
00:18:57.603 --> 00:18:59.538 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
this dirty
contaminated water.
00:18:59.605 --> 00:19:01.540 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
So that is the option
they go for.
00:19:01.607 --> 00:19:03.542 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
And yet, they have told us
how they have lost children.
00:19:03.609 --> 00:19:05.777 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
We spoke
to a grandmother,
00:19:05.844 --> 00:19:09.047 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
heartbroken as
she explained
00:19:09.114 --> 00:19:12.050 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
she was the caregiver
of the child.
00:19:12.117 --> 00:19:14.052 align:start line:79% position:33% size:33%
The child
lost its life
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.054 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
because of this
waterborne disease.
00:19:16.121 --> 00:19:18.190 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
You could tell that
she just felt so bad,
00:19:18.257 --> 00:19:21.426 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
so broken for what
she had done, in her mind.
00:19:21.493 --> 00:19:23.428 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
But the truth is
she could do nothing else
00:19:23.495 --> 00:19:25.430 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
because she had
no option.
00:19:25.497 --> 00:19:28.867 align:start line:74% position:15% size:68%
She told us, as many
others have, that they know
what the solution is.
00:19:28.934 --> 00:19:31.069 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
The solution is a water well
in their village
00:19:31.136 --> 00:19:33.071 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
because that will give them
fresh clean water
00:19:33.138 --> 00:19:35.274 align:center line:85% position:50% size:53%
and save those lives.
00:19:35.340 --> 00:19:37.276 align:start line:85% position:28% size:43%
We know the need.
00:19:37.342 --> 00:19:39.444 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
The one missing
component is you.
00:19:39.511 --> 00:19:41.446 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
I'm asking you
to help us
00:19:41.513 --> 00:19:43.448 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
to bring Mission:
Water for LIFE,
00:19:43.515 --> 00:19:46.985 align:center line:74% position:50% size:43%
to drill a well
and provide fresh
life-giving water
00:19:47.052 --> 00:19:49.655 align:center line:74% position:50% size:43%
to the people
who are suffering
so desperately.
00:19:49.721 --> 00:19:52.057 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
Please do it before
another child's life is gone.
00:19:52.124 --> 00:19:54.726 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
This is a crisis!
It is an emergency!
00:19:54.793 --> 00:19:56.895 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
And if we don't meet
their needs now,
00:19:56.962 --> 00:19:58.897 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
we are going
to lose more children.
00:19:58.964 --> 00:20:00.899 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
Please,
give the gift of water.
00:20:00.966 --> 00:20:03.702 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
Give the gift of life
before it is too late.
00:20:05.237 --> 00:20:07.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
TAMMY: Ooh! It's heartbreaking
00:20:07.172 --> 00:20:08.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to see that much water
00:20:08.340 --> 00:20:09.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
surrounding a village,
00:20:09.374 --> 00:20:11.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
yet not a single drop of it
00:20:11.276 --> 00:20:13.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
can provide life.
00:20:13.679 --> 00:20:14.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's so deceiving because
00:20:14.913 --> 00:20:15.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you look at it
00:20:15.914 --> 00:20:16.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and you think,
00:20:17.015 --> 00:20:18.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
oh, this is perfect.
00:20:18.216 --> 00:20:19.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
This is all we need.
00:20:20.052 --> 00:20:21.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But the tragedy is,
00:20:21.820 --> 00:20:23.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when you drink that water,
00:20:23.722 --> 00:20:25.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
contaminated, dirty,
00:20:25.791 --> 00:20:26.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
shared with animals
00:20:26.825 --> 00:20:28.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and filled with disease,
00:20:28.360 --> 00:20:29.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you're left wondering
00:20:29.828 --> 00:20:31.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what your fate will be.
00:20:31.430 --> 00:20:32.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Will you live?
00:20:32.898 --> 00:20:34.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Will this water
00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:35.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
take your life today?
00:20:35.834 --> 00:20:37.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Without it,
00:20:37.069 --> 00:20:38.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
there's no survival.
00:20:38.437 --> 00:20:39.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But drinking it has brought
00:20:39.638 --> 00:20:42.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
so much death as well.
00:20:42.207 --> 00:20:43.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Now imagine holding
00:20:43.308 --> 00:20:45.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a bottle of water,
00:20:45.243 --> 00:20:46.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
handing it to your grandchild
00:20:46.612 --> 00:20:47.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and watching them drink.
00:20:48.046 --> 00:20:49.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Then days later, you hear
00:20:49.214 --> 00:20:50.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the devastating news
00:20:50.782 --> 00:20:51.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that they've died
00:20:51.917 --> 00:20:53.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
because of it.
00:20:53.218 --> 00:20:55.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The guilt someone must feel,
00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:56.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that kind of pain,
00:20:56.788 --> 00:20:57.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I'm sure
00:20:57.956 --> 00:20:59.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it's totally unbearable.
00:20:59.358 --> 00:21:02.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And yet, it's not their fault.
00:21:02.327 --> 00:21:04.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
There are no other options,
00:21:04.529 --> 00:21:05.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
so they take the chance
00:21:05.831 --> 00:21:06.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and hope for the best.
00:21:07.032 --> 00:21:08.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But here's the thing.
00:21:08.333 --> 00:21:09.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We can give them a hope
00:21:09.601 --> 00:21:11.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that is truly for the best.
00:21:11.336 --> 00:21:13.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The hope of clean water.
00:21:13.538 --> 00:21:15.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The reality is we know
00:21:15.307 --> 00:21:16.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
how to make this happen.
00:21:16.475 --> 00:21:17.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We've done it before,
00:21:17.843 --> 00:21:19.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
time and time again.
00:21:19.277 --> 00:21:20.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
In fact, we drilled
00:21:20.479 --> 00:21:22.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
over 8,000 water wells,
00:21:22.748 --> 00:21:24.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and every single one of them
00:21:24.182 --> 00:21:26.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
represents hope restored
00:21:26.451 --> 00:21:28.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and lives saved.
00:21:28.286 --> 00:21:29.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's a simple process,
00:21:29.955 --> 00:21:31.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but one that brings
00:21:31.123 --> 00:21:32.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
profound change.
00:21:32.924 --> 00:21:33.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We start by assessing
00:21:34.026 --> 00:21:35.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the land, just like
00:21:35.127 --> 00:21:36.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
here in South Sudan.
00:21:37.029 --> 00:21:38.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Then, we get to work raising
00:21:38.363 --> 00:21:40.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the funds to make it happen.
00:21:40.232 --> 00:21:41.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Once the funds are secured,
00:21:41.933 --> 00:21:42.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we make the call that
00:21:43.035 --> 00:21:44.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
says go! Go!
00:21:44.202 --> 00:21:46.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And that's when it all begins.
00:21:46.505 --> 00:21:47.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The team drives
00:21:47.639 --> 00:21:49.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in a massive drilling truck
00:21:49.608 --> 00:21:50.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
into that village.
00:21:50.976 --> 00:21:52.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
They set everything up
00:21:52.411 --> 00:21:54.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and drill, drill, drill until
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we hit fresh, clean water.
00:21:57.215 --> 00:21:58.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
When that water finally
00:21:58.417 --> 00:21:59.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
bursts forth,
00:21:59.685 --> 00:22:01.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the entire village comes alive
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
dancing in the water.
00:22:02.988 --> 00:22:04.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I've danced in the water
00:22:04.156 --> 00:22:05.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
with them.
00:22:05.290 --> 00:22:06.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We're praising God together
00:22:06.591 --> 00:22:07.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and celebrating
00:22:07.659 --> 00:22:10.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a brand-new day of hope.
00:22:10.529 --> 00:22:12.464 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
But none of this,
00:22:12.531 --> 00:22:13.965 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
not any of it,
00:22:14.032 --> 00:22:15.467 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
is possible without you.
00:22:15.534 --> 00:22:16.568 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
That's why I'm asking
00:22:16.635 --> 00:22:18.336 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
for your help today.
00:22:18.403 --> 00:22:20.472 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Here's what that looks like.
00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.773 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Each well on average
00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:23.275 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
costs $4,800 and lasts
00:22:23.341 --> 00:22:25.177 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
a period of 70 years.
00:22:25.243 --> 00:22:26.878 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
That's fresh, clean water
00:22:26.945 --> 00:22:28.480 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
for about a thousand people
00:22:28.547 --> 00:22:31.016 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
for the rest of their lives.
00:22:31.083 --> 00:22:32.818 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Would you consider giving?
00:22:32.884 --> 00:22:34.286 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
What an incredible gift
00:22:34.352 --> 00:22:36.154 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that could be to those people
00:22:36.221 --> 00:22:37.923 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
right now!
00:22:37.989 --> 00:22:39.024 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
And for some of you,
00:22:39.091 --> 00:22:41.126 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
$4,800, I know it's a lot,
00:22:41.193 --> 00:22:42.327 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
but would you consider
00:22:42.394 --> 00:22:43.762 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
giving them $48, which
00:22:43.829 --> 00:22:44.896 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
will help provide water
00:22:44.963 --> 00:22:45.997 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
for ten people for
00:22:46.064 --> 00:22:47.332 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
the rest of their lives?
00:22:47.399 --> 00:22:48.800 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
Or $144, which will help
00:22:48.867 --> 00:22:51.269 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
provide water for 30 people?
00:22:51.336 --> 00:22:52.604 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
I know there are so many
00:22:52.671 --> 00:22:53.872 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
urgent needs around the world
00:22:53.939 --> 00:22:55.173 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
right now, and it can feel
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:56.208 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
overwhelming to decide
00:22:56.274 --> 00:22:58.243 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
where to even give.
00:22:58.310 --> 00:22:59.778 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
But I can confidently tell you
00:22:59.845 --> 00:23:01.346 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
this: entire villages
00:23:01.413 --> 00:23:02.614 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
will thrive again and
00:23:02.681 --> 00:23:04.249 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
families will have a chance
00:23:04.316 --> 00:23:06.118 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
at a better, brighter future
00:23:06.184 --> 00:23:08.120 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
all because of something
00:23:08.186 --> 00:23:11.456 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
as simple as clean water.
00:23:11.523 --> 00:23:12.724 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
Something that simple
00:23:12.791 --> 00:23:14.493 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that's so life-changing.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.528 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
Listen, this is our last week
00:23:16.595 --> 00:23:17.996 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
of our Water for Life emphasis
00:23:18.063 --> 00:23:20.165 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
so would you go online?
00:23:20.232 --> 00:23:21.833 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Would you make a call today

00:25:36.501 --> 00:25:37.702 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
I also want to say
00:25:37.769 --> 00:25:39.504 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
one more thing.
00:25:39.571 --> 00:25:40.705 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
We've talked a lot
00:25:40.772 --> 00:25:41.940 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
about heaven.
00:25:42.007 --> 00:25:43.008 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
We've talked a lot about
00:25:43.074 --> 00:25:45.243 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
the invitation to heaven.
00:25:45.310 --> 00:25:46.244 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
We've talked a lot
00:25:46.311 --> 00:25:47.979 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
about maybe been suffering.
00:25:48.046 --> 00:25:48.980 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
So, I don't know
00:25:49.047 --> 00:25:49.981 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
where you're at right now.
00:25:50.048 --> 00:25:50.982 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
If you've watched
00:25:51.049 --> 00:25:52.083 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
this whole program,
00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:53.184 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
you've stuck around with us,
00:25:53.251 --> 00:25:54.252 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
our hope was to encourage you,
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:55.320 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
to bring you hope
00:25:55.387 --> 00:25:57.188 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
and to bring you life.
00:25:57.255 --> 00:25:58.356 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
But you might be sitting there
00:25:58.423 --> 00:26:00.225 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
or laying there,
00:26:00.292 --> 00:26:02.694 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
or just being in a place
00:26:02.761 --> 00:26:04.296 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
where you feel lost,
00:26:04.362 --> 00:26:06.298 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
you feel without.
00:26:06.364 --> 00:26:07.465 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
You feel like heaven
00:26:07.532 --> 00:26:08.600 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
seems too far away.
00:26:08.667 --> 00:26:09.868 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
Maybe you don't even feel
00:26:09.935 --> 00:26:11.136 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
like it's something
00:26:11.202 --> 00:26:13.438 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
that you deserve.
00:26:13.505 --> 00:26:14.572 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
But let me tell you, you do
00:26:14.639 --> 00:26:15.640 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
and heaven waits for you.
00:26:15.707 --> 00:26:16.741 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
And heaven has been made
00:26:16.808 --> 00:26:18.009 align:start line:58% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:26:18.076 --> 00:26:19.144 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%

even if you don't know
00:26:31.656 --> 00:26:32.624 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
what it is,
00:26:32.691 --> 00:26:33.792 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
but you just feel something.
00:26:33.858 --> 00:26:34.893 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
I'm telling you,
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.927 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
please pick up and call.
00:26:35.994 --> 00:26:37.062 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%

and help you walk through
00:26:38.263 --> 00:26:39.331 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
whatever it is
00:26:39.397 --> 00:26:40.966 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
you might be sitting in
00:26:41.032 --> 00:26:42.133 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
right at this moment
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.301 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
in your life.
00:26:43.368 --> 00:26:45.003 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
God is real.
00:26:45.070 --> 00:26:46.237 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
When we pray and come to him
00:26:46.304 --> 00:26:47.739 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
and we lay it before him,
00:26:47.806 --> 00:26:48.940 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
he wants to move mountains
00:26:49.007 --> 00:26:50.175 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
in your life.
00:26:50.241 --> 00:26:51.643 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
