>> And I remember feeling
so lost and disillusioned
00:00:11.044 --> 00:00:13.046 align:center line:69% position:50% size:43%
and disappointed.
00:00:13.113 --> 00:00:15.281 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
And these doubts
rising to the surface,
00:00:15.348 --> 00:00:18.551 align:center line:63% position:50% size:63%
all these questions,
and feeling like my faith
00:00:18.618 --> 00:00:21.321 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
was dying from
a thousand papercuts.
00:00:21.388 --> 00:00:24.224 align:start line:63% position:28% size:45%
I tried everything
that I knew
00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:27.460 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
and I just thought,
God, we need to chat.
00:00:27.527 --> 00:00:29.963 align:start line:10% position:20% size:60%
Niki Hardy found herself
at the crossroads
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:31.998 align:center line:10% position:50% size:25%
of doubt
and faith.
00:00:32.065 --> 00:00:34.067 align:start line:10% position:23% size:53%

00:00:34.134 --> 00:00:36.803 align:center line:10% position:50% size:43%
found in the arms
of Jesus.

TAMMY: Hello, everybody.
00:00:55.288 --> 00:00:56.489 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Welcome to Life Today.
00:00:56.556 --> 00:00:57.557 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
I'm Tammy Trent.
00:00:57.624 --> 00:00:59.159 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I am so glad you're here.
00:00:59.225 --> 00:01:00.260 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
I don't know how busy life
00:01:00.326 --> 00:01:01.261 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
has been for you lately,
00:01:01.327 --> 00:01:02.429 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
but the fact that you stopped
00:01:02.495 --> 00:01:03.530 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
right now and said,
00:01:03.596 --> 00:01:04.631 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm going to spend
00:01:04.697 --> 00:01:06.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
30 minutes with Life Today
00:01:06.833 --> 00:01:08.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
because I just kind of wonder,
00:01:08.067 --> 00:01:09.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
what is God up to?
00:01:09.469 --> 00:01:10.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Does he have a word
00:01:10.637 --> 00:01:11.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for me today?
00:01:11.771 --> 00:01:12.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And I believe that he does.
00:01:12.972 --> 00:01:13.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm so glad you're here!
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Definitely stick around
00:01:15.074 --> 00:01:16.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to the very end.
00:01:16.142 --> 00:01:17.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You won't want to miss it.
00:01:17.243 --> 00:01:18.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And I have a special guest
00:01:18.411 --> 00:01:19.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with me today; a guest
00:01:19.946 --> 00:01:21.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
co-host, Blynda Lane,
00:01:21.347 --> 00:01:22.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
who you've probably seen
00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:23.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on TV, like I have
00:01:23.783 --> 00:01:24.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
many times.
00:01:24.851 --> 00:01:26.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm so glad you're here.
00:01:26.085 --> 00:01:27.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
BLYNDA: It is so fun
00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:28.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to be here with you, Tammy.
00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:29.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Thank you.
00:01:29.456 --> 00:01:30.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I'm just so honored
00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:31.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to be here.
00:01:31.491 --> 00:01:32.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I just love this show.
00:01:32.525 --> 00:01:33.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I love James and Betty!
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:34.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Of course, I've followed
00:01:34.794 --> 00:01:36.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Life Outreach for decades,
00:01:36.362 --> 00:01:37.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and known them
00:01:37.397 --> 00:01:38.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
for about 20 years.
00:01:38.631 --> 00:01:39.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's really almost surreal
00:01:40.033 --> 00:01:41.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that I've known them, but
00:01:41.534 --> 00:01:42.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
now I get to be a part.
00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:44.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I'm very, very excited!
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:45.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
TAMMY: Yeah!
00:01:45.138 --> 00:01:46.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
It's special to have you here.
00:01:46.372 --> 00:01:47.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
BLYNDA: And you're
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:48.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
pretty special!
00:01:48.508 --> 00:01:49.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So it's pretty fun
00:01:49.576 --> 00:01:50.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to be next to you.
00:01:50.643 --> 00:01:51.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: Oh, my goodness.
00:01:51.711 --> 00:01:52.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm loving it so much.
00:01:52.779 --> 00:01:53.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We've got a great guest
00:01:53.847 --> 00:01:54.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
on the show today too.
00:01:54.914 --> 00:01:56.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I just want to start out
00:01:56.115 --> 00:01:57.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
at the top by saying this.
00:01:57.383 --> 00:01:58.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I know that when
00:01:58.451 --> 00:02:00.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we struggled in life,
00:02:00.253 --> 00:02:01.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
doubts about God and
00:02:02.055 --> 00:02:03.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
even our relationship
00:02:03.122 --> 00:02:04.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with him can be
00:02:04.257 --> 00:02:05.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
some of the first things that
00:02:05.358 --> 00:02:06.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
just rise to the surface.
00:02:06.793 --> 00:02:07.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Right? So, I get it.
00:02:08.061 --> 00:02:09.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I've been there so many times
00:02:09.696 --> 00:02:10.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in my own life, more times
00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:12.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
than I can even count.
00:02:12.265 --> 00:02:13.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That's why I'm so excited
00:02:13.433 --> 00:02:14.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about today's conversation
00:02:14.634 --> 00:02:15.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with author, speaker,
00:02:16.035 --> 00:02:17.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and cancer survivor,
00:02:17.170 --> 00:02:18.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Niki Hardy.
00:02:18.872 --> 00:02:19.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
She's recently written
00:02:20.006 --> 00:02:21.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a new book called
00:02:21.274 --> 00:02:23.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God, Can We Chat?
00:02:23.776 --> 00:02:25.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, if you've ever wrestled
00:02:25.378 --> 00:02:27.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with doubt or disbelief,
00:02:27.347 --> 00:02:28.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I truly believe that
00:02:28.581 --> 00:02:30.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
this conversation
00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:32.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and Niki's book will give you
00:02:32.218 --> 00:02:33.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the hope and the help
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:34.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that you've probably
00:02:34.687 --> 00:02:35.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
been looking for.
00:02:35.755 --> 00:02:37.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, Niki Hardy, thank you
00:02:37.156 --> 00:02:38.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for being here.
00:02:38.791 --> 00:02:39.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So good to have you here.
00:02:39.993 --> 00:02:42.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm going to jump right in.
00:02:42.362 --> 00:02:43.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Can we start with
00:02:43.596 --> 00:02:44.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
your faith journey?
00:02:44.731 --> 00:02:46.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
How did you get to this place
00:02:46.399 --> 00:02:48.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of even asking God, I've got
00:02:48.268 --> 00:02:49.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to slow everything down.
00:02:49.536 --> 00:02:50.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I've got to stop.
00:02:50.603 --> 00:02:52.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
We need to talk.
00:02:52.572 --> 00:02:53.740 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
NIKI: Well, I don't have
00:02:53.806 --> 00:02:55.241 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
to say very much before
00:02:55.308 --> 00:02:56.409 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
everyone realizes that
00:02:56.476 --> 00:02:58.044 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I'm not from this side
00:02:58.111 --> 00:02:59.879 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
of the pond.
00:02:59.946 --> 00:03:01.147 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
My faith journey actually
00:03:01.214 --> 00:03:02.615 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
began in London,
00:03:02.682 --> 00:03:04.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in an old Victorian church
00:03:04.384 --> 00:03:05.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
with bare brick walls not far
00:03:05.652 --> 00:03:06.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
from Buckingham Palace,
00:03:06.853 --> 00:03:08.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
when I finally said "yes"
00:03:08.588 --> 00:03:09.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
to Jesus.
00:03:09.722 --> 00:03:10.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I say "finally," I was in
00:03:10.924 --> 00:03:14.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my early 20s, newly married.
00:03:14.894 --> 00:03:16.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I'd always felt spiritual,
00:03:16.496 --> 00:03:18.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
up mountains, felt connected
00:03:18.398 --> 00:03:21.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to God, but didn't call it
00:03:21.367 --> 00:03:22.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"Christian," didn't have
00:03:22.635 --> 00:03:24.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a relationship with Jesus,
00:03:24.337 --> 00:03:25.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but I just knew that I was
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:27.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
English and I was
00:03:27.073 --> 00:03:28.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
a nice person,
00:03:28.675 --> 00:03:31.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I wasn't Hindu or Muslim
00:03:31.077 --> 00:03:32.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
or anything else.
00:03:32.378 --> 00:03:33.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, therefore, surely,
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:34.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I was Christian.
00:03:34.914 --> 00:03:35.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But I think, actually, I was
00:03:35.949 --> 00:03:37.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
christian with a lowercase c,
00:03:37.784 --> 00:03:38.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
not a capital C.
00:03:39.018 --> 00:03:40.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But I came to faith, had
00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:41.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a relationship with Jesus,
00:03:42.055 --> 00:03:43.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and then everything changed
00:03:43.756 --> 00:03:45.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in our life for the better.
00:03:45.291 --> 00:03:46.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We said yes to God and
00:03:46.893 --> 00:03:48.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
we left the corporate life and
00:03:48.695 --> 00:03:50.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we went to the mission field.
00:03:50.630 --> 00:03:51.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And then we went
00:03:51.998 --> 00:03:55.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
into ministry and seminary.
00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:57.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We actually came to America
00:03:57.370 --> 00:03:59.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to plant a church, which
00:03:59.238 --> 00:04:00.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I was just saying, that really
00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:02.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
seems a rather ridiculous idea
00:04:02.175 --> 00:04:03.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
not to be rude to God.
00:04:04.010 --> 00:04:05.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But there's a pub
00:04:05.345 --> 00:04:06.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on every corner in London
00:04:06.579 --> 00:04:07.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and a church on every corner
00:04:07.714 --> 00:04:08.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:04:08.881 --> 00:04:10.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
where we are.
00:04:10.717 --> 00:04:12.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But we planted a church
00:04:12.852 --> 00:04:14.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that's still there
00:04:14.287 --> 00:04:15.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
nearly 20 years later,
00:04:15.388 --> 00:04:16.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it's still going strong.
00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:17.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We don't lead it anymore
00:04:17.624 --> 00:04:19.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but it is doing well.
00:04:19.225 --> 00:04:21.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But as you said, I'm a cancer
00:04:21.361 --> 00:04:23.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
survivor, but I had lost
00:04:23.229 --> 00:04:24.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
my mum to cancer
00:04:24.564 --> 00:04:25.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and my sister to cancer,
00:04:25.965 --> 00:04:28.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and then I was diagnosed.
00:04:28.468 --> 00:04:29.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
For me, that brought up
00:04:29.802 --> 00:04:31.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a lot of questions about God,
00:04:31.304 --> 00:04:33.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but more about where is
00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:34.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the abundant life
00:04:34.874 --> 00:04:37.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that you promised me, Lord?
00:04:37.377 --> 00:04:39.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I guess I'm in the storms,
00:04:39.278 --> 00:04:40.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
will I ever get
00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:41.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that abundant life?
00:04:41.581 --> 00:04:42.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's what my first book,
00:04:42.782 --> 00:04:44.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Breathe Again was about.
00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:46.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But then you fast-forward
00:04:46.419 --> 00:04:49.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
another ten years, and we had
00:04:49.122 --> 00:04:50.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
been through a whole
00:04:50.923 --> 00:04:52.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
other set of difficult
00:04:52.525 --> 00:04:53.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
circumstances,
00:04:53.559 --> 00:04:54.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
everything from
00:04:54.627 --> 00:04:55.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my husband's burnout,
00:04:55.762 --> 00:04:56.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to difficult
00:04:56.829 --> 00:04:58.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
family situations.
00:04:58.197 --> 00:05:00.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You know, parenting teens
00:05:00.233 --> 00:05:01.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
where you realize that
00:05:01.801 --> 00:05:02.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the research that says
00:05:03.036 --> 00:05:04.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the frontal lobe is made
00:05:04.337 --> 00:05:07.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of Jello is so true!
00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:09.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
There were just
00:05:09.175 --> 00:05:10.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
difficult things going on.
00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:11.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And then, of course,
00:05:11.644 --> 00:05:12.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the world shut down
00:05:12.945 --> 00:05:14.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in the pandemic, which brought
00:05:14.514 --> 00:05:15.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a whole different set
00:05:15.748 --> 00:05:18.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of questions and different
00:05:18.184 --> 00:05:20.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
levels of unprecedented
00:05:20.453 --> 00:05:21.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
suffering in the world.
00:05:21.554 --> 00:05:22.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had readers telling me
00:05:22.955 --> 00:05:24.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the things they were
00:05:24.090 --> 00:05:25.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
going through.
00:05:25.324 --> 00:05:26.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And then the church,
00:05:26.526 --> 00:05:27.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you know, the wider church,
00:05:27.794 --> 00:05:29.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as well, was just kind of
00:05:29.429 --> 00:05:30.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
imploding a little bit
00:05:30.663 --> 00:05:32.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and turning in on itself.
00:05:32.465 --> 00:05:33.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You know what it was like.
00:05:33.533 --> 00:05:35.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I don't need
00:05:35.134 --> 00:05:37.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to elaborate on that.
00:05:37.203 --> 00:05:38.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But then what was happening
00:05:39.005 --> 00:05:40.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
was that everything
00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:41.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God, faith, church,
00:05:41.574 --> 00:05:42.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
as I kind of lump it
00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:43.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all together, I remember
00:05:44.043 --> 00:05:45.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
this moment, and I was
00:05:45.211 --> 00:05:46.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
out walking the dog
00:05:46.345 --> 00:05:47.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
very early one morning.
00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:49.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Charlie, a rather lovely
00:05:49.182 --> 00:05:50.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but ridiculous goldendoodle,
00:05:50.416 --> 00:05:52.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I were out on a path,
00:05:52.385 --> 00:05:54.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I just remember feeling
00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:56.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so lost and disillusioned,
00:05:56.222 --> 00:05:57.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and disappointed.
00:05:58.057 --> 00:05:59.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And these doubts were
00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:00.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
rising to the surface,
00:06:00.793 --> 00:06:02.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
all these questions,
00:06:02.095 --> 00:06:03.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and feeling like my faith
00:06:03.896 --> 00:06:05.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was dying from
00:06:05.164 --> 00:06:06.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a thousand papercuts.
00:06:06.766 --> 00:06:08.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I get home, and my husband Al
00:06:08.501 --> 00:06:10.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is sitting on the sofa,
00:06:10.603 --> 00:06:11.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and he's got "Amazing Grace"
00:06:11.938 --> 00:06:12.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
playing.
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:14.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I kind of roll my eyes
00:06:14.273 --> 00:06:16.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
with the maturity of a tween.
00:06:16.342 --> 00:06:19.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Because there he's being
00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:20.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
spiritual when the world
00:06:20.613 --> 00:06:22.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
is falling apart.
00:06:22.348 --> 00:06:24.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
As I went upstairs to shower,
00:06:24.484 --> 00:06:26.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
those words that so many
00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:29.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of us know and hold true
00:06:29.489 --> 00:06:31.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
followed me up the stairs.
00:06:31.257 --> 00:06:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
"I once was lost,
00:06:32.725 --> 00:06:34.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but now I'm found.
00:06:34.393 --> 00:06:36.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Was blind but now I see."
00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:37.597 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
I thought, no,
00:06:37.663 --> 00:06:39.732 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the opposite is now true.
00:06:39.799 --> 00:06:41.968 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
The reversal is now true.
00:06:42.034 --> 00:06:43.903 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I once was found,
00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:46.139 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
but now I'm lost.
00:06:46.205 --> 00:06:49.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I just didn't know what to do.
00:06:49.175 --> 00:06:50.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I tried everything that
00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:53.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I knew and I just thought,
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God, we need to chat.
00:06:55.815 --> 00:06:56.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
BLYNDA: I love that.
00:06:57.016 --> 00:06:58.351 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
It's almost as if you were
00:06:58.417 --> 00:07:00.987 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
in a crisis in your faith.
00:07:01.053 --> 00:07:02.388 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
I think what's interesting
00:07:02.455 --> 00:07:03.890 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
about it is thinking about
00:07:03.956 --> 00:07:04.957 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the doubts that you might
00:07:05.024 --> 00:07:06.025 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
have about God.
00:07:06.092 --> 00:07:07.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Why would God allow
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:08.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
these things to happen?
00:07:08.294 --> 00:07:09.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
How could I be so faithful
00:07:09.529 --> 00:07:10.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to God all these years,
00:07:10.830 --> 00:07:12.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and yet, I'm still left
00:07:12.098 --> 00:07:14.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
right now feeling lost?
00:07:14.133 --> 00:07:16.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think almost in some ways,
00:07:16.669 --> 00:07:17.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
this resonated with me
00:07:17.870 --> 00:07:19.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because as a believer,
00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:22.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there's some kind of shame
00:07:22.542 --> 00:07:23.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
put on this feeling
00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:25.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that I'm doubting.
00:07:25.378 --> 00:07:26.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I don't want to doubt God.
00:07:26.512 --> 00:07:27.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I don't want to doubt
00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:28.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that he's good because
00:07:28.881 --> 00:07:29.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I know that he's good.
00:07:30.049 --> 00:07:31.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I found your book
00:07:31.584 --> 00:07:33.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to be freeing,
00:07:33.586 --> 00:07:35.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to put the shame aside and
00:07:35.221 --> 00:07:36.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
just start having an honest
00:07:36.856 --> 00:07:38.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
conversation with God.
00:07:38.624 --> 00:07:40.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
How would you encourage
00:07:40.393 --> 00:07:41.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the ones viewing today
00:07:41.961 --> 00:07:43.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
about what you learned
00:07:43.496 --> 00:07:45.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
about how you can talk to God
00:07:45.498 --> 00:07:47.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
about the real questions?
00:07:47.733 --> 00:07:49.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
NIKI: Well, we all have
00:07:49.135 --> 00:07:51.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
these questions.
00:07:51.604 --> 00:07:53.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So many of us have grown up
00:07:53.472 --> 00:07:55.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
spiritually in churches that
00:07:55.975 --> 00:07:57.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
don't really allow for that.
00:07:58.010 --> 00:07:59.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It's not a culture
00:07:59.245 --> 00:08:01.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of curiosity.
00:08:01.113 --> 00:08:02.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You can't stand up
00:08:02.315 --> 00:08:03.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the middle of a sermon
00:08:03.349 --> 00:08:04.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and say, Excuse me!
00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:06.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But why did the Lord answer
00:08:06.552 --> 00:08:07.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
her prayer and not my prayer?
00:08:07.987 --> 00:08:09.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
TAMMY: We should be able to.
00:08:09.188 --> 00:08:10.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I wish we could!
00:08:10.456 --> 00:08:11.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
NIKI: How do we do that?
00:08:11.757 --> 00:08:12.959 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
And then we're told,
00:08:13.025 --> 00:08:14.227 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
you know, quite rightly,
00:08:14.293 --> 00:08:15.561 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
and we read that Jesus says,
00:08:15.628 --> 00:08:17.463 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
Don't doubt, have great faith.
00:08:17.530 --> 00:08:18.698 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
You know, your faith
00:08:18.764 --> 00:08:19.932 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
has healed you.
00:08:19.999 --> 00:08:21.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Don't be like someone
00:08:21.067 --> 00:08:22.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
who doubts and is tossed
00:08:22.235 --> 00:08:24.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
back and forth in the waves.
00:08:24.604 --> 00:08:25.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So, to the person who
00:08:26.005 --> 00:08:27.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is feeling like that,
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
who's feeling like, well,
00:08:28.674 --> 00:08:29.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I shouldn't question God.
00:08:29.876 --> 00:08:33.346 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Think about the tone of voice
00:08:33.412 --> 00:08:34.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when he said that.
00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:35.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So often we think he says,
00:08:35.648 --> 00:08:36.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
"Don't doubt!!
00:08:36.816 --> 00:08:38.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Have great faith."
00:08:38.484 --> 00:08:39.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But what if he's saying,
00:08:39.785 --> 00:08:41.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
"Don't doubt.
00:08:41.287 --> 00:08:43.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I'm right here."
00:08:43.489 --> 00:08:44.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He says, "Come to me,
00:08:44.891 --> 00:08:46.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
all you who are weary
00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and heavy-laden."
00:08:47.994 --> 00:08:49.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I don't know about you,
00:08:49.161 --> 00:08:50.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but when I have
00:08:50.329 --> 00:08:51.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
all these questions
00:08:51.797 --> 00:08:52.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and these concerns
00:08:53.032 --> 00:08:54.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and this confusion,
00:08:54.133 --> 00:08:55.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
it's tiring.
00:08:55.434 --> 00:08:57.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I feel weary of them.
00:08:58.037 --> 00:08:59.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And some people come to
00:08:59.305 --> 00:09:01.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that place of feeling lost
00:09:01.407 --> 00:09:02.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in an instant because
00:09:02.575 --> 00:09:03.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
something catastrophic
00:09:03.809 --> 00:09:05.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
has happened.
00:09:05.211 --> 00:09:06.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And some people,
00:09:06.579 --> 00:09:08.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
it's a slow burn away.
00:09:09.048 --> 00:09:10.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We can choose at that point
00:09:10.583 --> 00:09:11.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
when we get to the crossroads
00:09:11.984 --> 00:09:13.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of faith and doubt,
00:09:13.152 --> 00:09:14.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
as I say in God, Can We Chat?
00:09:14.887 --> 00:09:16.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We can either say, well,
00:09:16.522 --> 00:09:18.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I don't want to go down
00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:19.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the doubt route because
00:09:19.191 --> 00:09:20.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my faith and my relationship
00:09:20.493 --> 00:09:22.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with God are precious.
00:09:22.094 --> 00:09:23.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I don't want to go down
00:09:23.963 --> 00:09:25.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
what could be a slippery slope
00:09:25.598 --> 00:09:26.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
away from God.
00:09:26.866 --> 00:09:27.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But faith, I don't know
00:09:27.967 --> 00:09:29.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if I've got the certainty
00:09:29.635 --> 00:09:32.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that I need to go down there.
00:09:32.838 --> 00:09:33.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I don't know whether
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:36.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I belong down there.
00:09:36.108 --> 00:09:39.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So, my encouragement is to sit
00:09:39.312 --> 00:09:41.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and chat with God about it
00:09:41.614 --> 00:09:43.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and go this way.
00:09:43.482 --> 00:09:44.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I teach people in the book
00:09:45.017 --> 00:09:46.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
how to get over those lies
00:09:47.053 --> 00:09:48.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
that tell us
00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:49.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we can't go to God.
00:09:49.522 --> 00:09:50.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
BLYNDA: I want you to talk
00:09:50.589 --> 00:09:51.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
more about that.
00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:52.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was going to ask about
00:09:52.591 --> 00:09:53.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
how to replace those lies
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with truth, and you gave
00:09:55.728 --> 00:09:58.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
some tools through the chat.
00:09:58.431 --> 00:09:59.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You give them some tools
00:09:59.999 --> 00:10:01.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to help. Right?
00:10:01.267 --> 00:10:02.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Tell us more about that.
00:10:02.468 --> 00:10:03.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
NIKI: Yeah. Because what
00:10:03.602 --> 00:10:04.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I want people to do is,
00:10:04.670 --> 00:10:05.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
first of all,
00:10:05.771 --> 00:10:07.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
reimagine their doubts
00:10:07.406 --> 00:10:09.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as their faith superpower,
00:10:09.709 --> 00:10:10.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
not its Kryptonite.
00:10:10.943 --> 00:10:12.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
because we think, oh,
00:10:12.078 --> 00:10:13.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
my doubts are my faith's
00:10:13.913 --> 00:10:15.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
greatest weakness.
00:10:15.881 --> 00:10:17.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I say, no!
00:10:17.383 --> 00:10:20.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
They're its greatest strength.
00:10:20.252 --> 00:10:21.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That's where we use
00:10:21.387 --> 00:10:22.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the Chat Guided Conversation
00:10:22.989 --> 00:10:24.557 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
guide, because I wanted
00:10:24.623 --> 00:10:26.792 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
to give something practical
00:10:26.859 --> 00:10:28.127 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to lead people through
00:10:28.194 --> 00:10:29.362 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
those conversations.
00:10:29.428 --> 00:10:30.596 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
Because so often we sit down
00:10:30.663 --> 00:10:32.932 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and we go, God, can we chat
00:10:32.999 --> 00:10:34.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
about this?
00:10:34.467 --> 00:10:35.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And then we're not sure
00:10:35.768 --> 00:10:36.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
what to say.
00:10:36.936 --> 00:10:38.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
How to lead it through,
00:10:38.170 --> 00:10:39.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and hear his voice,
00:10:39.372 --> 00:10:40.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and all those things.
00:10:40.473 --> 00:10:41.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
BLYNDA: Okay, Tammy,
00:10:41.807 --> 00:10:43.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
On page 128, it says
00:10:43.209 --> 00:10:44.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that C.H.A.T. is this:
00:10:44.577 --> 00:10:45.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Consider the facts.
00:10:45.945 --> 00:10:47.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Honor the story
00:10:47.213 --> 00:10:48.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you're telling yourself.
00:10:48.447 --> 00:10:49.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Ask God what he has to say.
00:10:50.016 --> 00:10:51.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Team up with God
00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:52.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
moving forward.
00:10:52.585 --> 00:10:54.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I love that. It's so good!
00:10:54.153 --> 00:10:55.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
TAMMY: I do too.
00:10:55.154 --> 00:10:56.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I actually wrote it down
00:10:56.288 --> 00:10:57.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
on my notes.
00:10:57.590 --> 00:10:58.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
BLYNDA: Oh, did you?
00:10:58.924 --> 00:11:00.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
TAMMY: C-h-a-t.
00:11:00.126 --> 00:11:01.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
What CHAT means.
00:11:01.127 --> 00:11:02.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I love that you did that
00:11:02.128 --> 00:11:03.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
because it really is a guide.
00:11:03.162 --> 00:11:04.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Some people think,
00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:05.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
where do I start then?
00:11:05.398 --> 00:11:06.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
NIKI: I'm happy to take you
00:11:06.499 --> 00:11:07.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through it completely
00:11:07.533 --> 00:11:08.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
if you want me to.
00:11:08.601 --> 00:11:09.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: Yeah! Let's do it.
00:11:09.769 --> 00:11:11.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Consider the facts.
00:11:11.470 --> 00:11:12.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
NIKI: There's normally
00:11:12.671 --> 00:11:13.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
something that has brought us
00:11:14.006 --> 00:11:15.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to this place of asking
00:11:15.474 --> 00:11:16.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
the question.
00:11:16.976 --> 00:11:18.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
This is where we consider
00:11:18.377 --> 00:11:19.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
what happened.
00:11:19.645 --> 00:11:21.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
What was the event
00:11:21.213 --> 00:11:22.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
or the circumstances,
00:11:22.214 --> 00:11:24.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the hard thing that happened.
00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:26.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Maybe you and a friend
00:11:26.152 --> 00:11:27.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
had both been trying
00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to get pregnant and both
00:11:28.621 --> 00:11:30.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
been praying about it,
00:11:30.256 --> 00:11:31.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and she's now expecting,
00:11:31.824 --> 00:11:33.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and you're not.
00:11:33.626 --> 00:11:34.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Those are the facts.
00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:36.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Everyone can agree on that.
00:11:36.562 --> 00:11:37.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But then we want to dig
00:11:37.930 --> 00:11:39.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a little deeper and with God,
00:11:39.498 --> 00:11:40.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we prayerfully look
00:11:40.900 --> 00:11:43.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to uncover and honor the story
00:11:43.602 --> 00:11:45.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that we're telling ourselves.
00:11:45.538 --> 00:11:46.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Because underneath
00:11:46.806 --> 00:11:48.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that circumstance
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is often a little story
00:11:49.842 --> 00:11:51.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that says something like,
00:11:51.944 --> 00:11:53.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
well, he loves her
00:11:53.145 --> 00:11:54.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
more than me.
00:11:54.213 --> 00:11:55.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
BLYNDA: This is where
00:11:55.214 --> 00:11:56.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the lie comes in, right?
00:11:56.449 --> 00:11:57.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
NIKI: Yes, and it's the story.
00:11:57.983 --> 00:11:59.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Our brains want to make up
00:11:59.251 --> 00:12:01.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
stories to bring us calm --
00:12:01.087 --> 00:12:02.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and those stories don't even
00:12:02.388 --> 00:12:04.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
have to be true in order
00:12:04.223 --> 00:12:06.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to bring that calm.
00:12:06.425 --> 00:12:07.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So, the story could be, well,
00:12:07.526 --> 00:12:09.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I'm not spiritual enough.
00:12:09.161 --> 00:12:10.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I didn't pray correctly.
00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:11.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I haven't volunteered enough
00:12:11.764 --> 00:12:13.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
in church.
00:12:13.232 --> 00:12:14.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
BLYNDA: So, we try to find
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
evidence to back up the story
00:12:15.634 --> 00:12:16.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
we're telling ourselves.
00:12:16.669 --> 00:12:17.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
NIKI: Exactly!
00:12:17.903 --> 00:12:19.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Then we have the real nugget
00:12:19.171 --> 00:12:20.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
where God says, That's what
00:12:20.372 --> 00:12:21.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to work on.
00:12:21.707 --> 00:12:23.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's the heart piece that
00:12:23.142 --> 00:12:26.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I want to build intimacy on.
00:12:26.112 --> 00:12:29.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And then, holding that story,
00:12:29.081 --> 00:12:31.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
however hard it is to hold it,
00:12:31.717 --> 00:12:33.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we can say, God, what do you
00:12:33.219 --> 00:12:34.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
think about this?
00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:36.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
If we were sitting down
00:12:36.155 --> 00:12:37.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for a cup of tea, God,
00:12:37.256 --> 00:12:38.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and you pulled up
00:12:38.324 --> 00:12:39.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
your celestial sofa, what
00:12:39.458 --> 00:12:41.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
would you want to say to me?
00:12:41.894 --> 00:12:43.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And so that's where we ask
00:12:43.362 --> 00:12:45.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God what he has to say.
00:12:45.331 --> 00:12:46.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And then, of course,
00:12:46.565 --> 00:12:47.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
life goes on so we have
00:12:47.733 --> 00:12:48.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to team up with him,
00:12:49.034 --> 00:12:51.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
as we go back into life.
00:12:51.804 --> 00:12:53.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
How can we link arms with God
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.610 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and live out the life
00:12:57.676 --> 00:12:59.845 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that we are leading?
00:12:59.912 --> 00:13:02.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Maybe not finding certainty,
00:13:02.715 --> 00:13:04.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but finding relationship
00:13:04.683 --> 00:13:06.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and intimacy?
00:13:06.285 --> 00:13:08.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
BLYNDA: I was going to say
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
real quick on that "ask" part,
00:13:09.288 --> 00:13:10.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I feel like there actually
00:13:10.456 --> 00:13:11.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
could even be somebody today
00:13:11.724 --> 00:13:13.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who's saying, I pray
00:13:13.425 --> 00:13:14.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I don't hear God.
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't know how to hear him.
00:13:16.629 --> 00:13:17.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
How would you tell
00:13:18.030 --> 00:13:19.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that person if they get stuck
00:13:19.298 --> 00:13:21.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in that "Ask God,"
00:13:21.367 --> 00:13:23.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what is he saying about it?
00:13:23.068 --> 00:13:24.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
They feel so far from him;
00:13:24.937 --> 00:13:26.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
maybe because they're hurt.
00:13:26.272 --> 00:13:28.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's a real powerful one
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to bring some clarity to.
00:13:30.476 --> 00:13:31.677 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
NIKI: Well, if I had
00:13:31.744 --> 00:13:33.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
an answer for how do
00:13:33.245 --> 00:13:35.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we exactly hear God,
00:13:35.681 --> 00:13:36.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we'd be having a very
00:13:36.849 --> 00:13:38.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
different conversation.
00:13:38.517 --> 00:13:39.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: Give it to me now!
00:13:39.818 --> 00:13:40.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Give it to me now!
00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:42.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
NIKI: Exactly!
00:13:42.354 --> 00:13:43.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It's not a science,
00:13:43.923 --> 00:13:45.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it is a relationship.
00:13:45.524 --> 00:13:49.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I always say we tune in
00:13:49.261 --> 00:13:51.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to hearing God's voice.
00:13:51.297 --> 00:13:53.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It's a mixture of
00:13:53.232 --> 00:13:54.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
so many different things.
00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:55.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's an inner knowing.
00:13:56.001 --> 00:13:57.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's reading the Bible.
00:13:57.570 --> 00:13:59.805 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
It's, you know, getting wisdom
00:13:59.872 --> 00:14:01.807 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
from close friends
00:14:01.874 --> 00:14:03.075 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
who are believers.
00:14:03.142 --> 00:14:05.911 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
So many things speak into it.
00:14:05.978 --> 00:14:07.479 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I found journaling
00:14:07.546 --> 00:14:08.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
really helps.
00:14:08.747 --> 00:14:10.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
For me, walking in nature
00:14:10.316 --> 00:14:11.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
really helps.
00:14:11.584 --> 00:14:13.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I find that the Lord uses
00:14:13.652 --> 00:14:15.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
creation as a way
00:14:15.721 --> 00:14:17.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to speak to me.
00:14:17.790 --> 00:14:19.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Often, when people say,
00:14:19.925 --> 00:14:20.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Oh, well, I don't know
00:14:21.026 --> 00:14:22.695 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
if the Lord is saying this,
00:14:22.761 --> 00:14:23.996 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
there's also a kind of
00:14:24.063 --> 00:14:26.298 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
gut feeling, a knowing,
00:14:26.365 --> 00:14:27.466 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
an inner knowing.
00:14:27.533 --> 00:14:28.634 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
I think what so many of us
00:14:28.701 --> 00:14:30.236 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
want is revelation, but
00:14:30.302 --> 00:14:33.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what we get is realization.
00:14:33.072 --> 00:14:35.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's a multifaceted thing,
00:14:35.274 --> 00:14:36.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
hearing God's voice
00:14:36.742 --> 00:14:38.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but isn't a science.
00:14:38.644 --> 00:14:39.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But that's why in
00:14:39.945 --> 00:14:41.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God, Can We Chat?
00:14:41.113 --> 00:14:42.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I give all these prompts
00:14:42.448 --> 00:14:44.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
to people
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:48.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to think it through
00:14:48.254 --> 00:14:50.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and get a sense of what
00:14:50.689 --> 00:14:51.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
they feel God is saying.
00:14:52.024 --> 00:14:52.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
TAMMY: What I love about it
00:14:53.058 --> 00:14:54.293 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
is that some people don't
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:55.694 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
know how to put into words
00:14:55.761 --> 00:14:56.762 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
what they feel.
00:14:56.829 --> 00:14:57.896 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I think what you've done
00:14:57.963 --> 00:14:58.998 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
there is you've helped them
00:14:59.064 --> 00:15:00.065 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
identify.
00:15:00.132 --> 00:15:01.133 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
You've given them
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.201 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
18 opportunities.
00:15:02.268 --> 00:15:03.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Read through this.
00:15:03.335 --> 00:15:04.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
You're going to find yourself
00:15:04.436 --> 00:15:05.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in one of these.
00:15:05.504 --> 00:15:06.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
But you help us
00:15:06.572 --> 00:15:07.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to navigate through that.
00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:08.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Then you're like,
00:15:08.707 --> 00:15:09.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I identify with four.
00:15:09.775 --> 00:15:10.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
All of a sudden,
00:15:10.843 --> 00:15:11.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
now I've got a way
00:15:11.977 --> 00:15:12.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to walk this out.
00:15:13.045 --> 00:15:14.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But I want to ask you,
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
just as we close here,
00:15:16.448 --> 00:15:18.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the great reversal.
00:15:18.083 --> 00:15:19.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, sitting here with you
00:15:19.385 --> 00:15:23.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
today, you once were lost,
00:15:23.555 --> 00:15:25.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but now you've been found.
00:15:25.658 --> 00:15:29.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
If somebody feels lost today,
00:15:29.228 --> 00:15:34.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
they just feel lost.
00:15:34.366 --> 00:15:35.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
First of all, I think
00:15:35.634 --> 00:15:38.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
your book, your life story,
00:15:38.804 --> 00:15:41.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
your journey can offer
00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
more hope than
00:15:42.541 --> 00:15:43.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we could ever imagine.
00:15:43.642 --> 00:15:44.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We could try to stir
00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:46.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
some things up
00:15:46.111 --> 00:15:47.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and send it out in hope.
00:15:47.813 --> 00:15:49.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
But your life speaks
00:15:49.248 --> 00:15:50.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for itself, Niki.
00:15:50.416 --> 00:15:51.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
All that you've surrendered,
00:15:51.950 --> 00:15:53.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
all that you've done.
00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:54.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
You're seeking.
00:15:54.586 --> 00:15:56.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You're wrestling.
00:15:56.388 --> 00:15:58.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And instead of giving up,
00:15:58.657 --> 00:16:00.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you said, okay,
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I have the questions.
00:16:01.293 --> 00:16:03.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I'll stick around another day
00:16:03.295 --> 00:16:04.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because, God, I believe
00:16:04.396 --> 00:16:05.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you're bigger than this.
00:16:05.464 --> 00:16:06.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And somehow, you're going
00:16:06.498 --> 00:16:07.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to show up because
00:16:07.566 --> 00:16:08.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you always do, somehow.
00:16:08.667 --> 00:16:09.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And even if I can't feel you
00:16:09.735 --> 00:16:11.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
now, you going to show up.
00:16:11.136 --> 00:16:12.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, there's somebody that
00:16:12.304 --> 00:16:14.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
feels the way you felt.
00:16:14.406 --> 00:16:15.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
You were lost
00:16:15.407 --> 00:16:16.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and wanted to be found.
00:16:16.775 --> 00:16:17.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What can we speak into
00:16:17.910 --> 00:16:18.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
their life today that says,
00:16:19.044 --> 00:16:20.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
You're not far
00:16:20.646 --> 00:16:22.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
from being found? Stay!
00:16:22.114 --> 00:16:24.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Stay! Stay!
00:16:24.483 --> 00:16:25.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
NIKI: If somebody is feeling
00:16:25.851 --> 00:16:27.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
like that, first of all,
00:16:27.319 --> 00:16:28.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I want to say I'm so sorry
00:16:28.821 --> 00:16:29.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
because I know
00:16:30.022 --> 00:16:31.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
it's so horrible
00:16:31.724 --> 00:16:33.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to feel that lost
00:16:33.158 --> 00:16:34.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and forgotten and alone
00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:36.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and ignored --
00:16:36.528 --> 00:16:37.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and all those things.
00:16:37.830 --> 00:16:39.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It's just awful!
00:16:39.631 --> 00:16:41.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But I want to encourage them
00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:44.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to not turn away from God,
00:16:45.003 --> 00:16:46.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
not to kind of slide
00:16:46.505 --> 00:16:48.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
slowly out the side door
00:16:48.173 --> 00:16:50.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of their faith but
00:16:50.309 --> 00:16:52.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to turn towards God.
00:16:53.011 --> 00:16:55.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Take that disappointment
00:16:55.414 --> 00:16:57.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and that hurt and even that
00:16:57.182 --> 00:16:58.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
rejection that they might
00:16:58.584 --> 00:17:00.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
be feeling from God,
00:17:00.352 --> 00:17:01.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because I've felt it all,
00:17:01.353 --> 00:17:02.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and still do on occasion.
00:17:02.588 --> 00:17:04.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Journeying with God
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:05.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
through doubt isn't
00:17:05.657 --> 00:17:07.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a one-and-done deal
00:17:07.092 --> 00:17:08.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I'm now I'm like,
00:17:08.227 --> 00:17:09.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
oh, I went through
00:17:09.461 --> 00:17:10.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that season of doubt
00:17:10.662 --> 00:17:12.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and now I am all good.
00:17:12.464 --> 00:17:13.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But to take it because
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
our questions hold power.
00:17:16.368 --> 00:17:17.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But not to weaken our faith,
00:17:17.736 --> 00:17:18.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to strengthen it.
00:17:18.871 --> 00:17:20.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Even if you're going to God
00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:22.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
angry, and saying,
00:17:22.608 --> 00:17:25.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
how long do you not see me?
00:17:25.978 --> 00:17:27.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Your providence,
00:17:27.179 --> 00:17:28.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
your provision,
00:17:28.347 --> 00:17:29.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
where is it?
00:17:29.715 --> 00:17:31.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I thought you were good.
00:17:31.283 --> 00:17:32.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Take it to him.
00:17:32.751 --> 00:17:33.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Use it as fuel because
00:17:33.952 --> 00:17:35.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
he's saying, come to me.
00:17:36.021 --> 00:17:37.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Walk with me.
00:17:37.189 --> 00:17:39.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Work with me.
00:17:39.758 --> 00:17:40.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Learn to live lightly
00:17:40.959 --> 00:17:42.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and freely.
00:17:42.127 --> 00:17:43.328 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Learn those unforced rhythms
00:17:43.395 --> 00:17:44.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of grace as the Message
00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:46.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
paraphrase says,
00:17:46.365 --> 00:17:48.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Matthew 11:28.
00:17:48.534 --> 00:17:50.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So, I want to encourage them
00:17:50.235 --> 00:17:52.438 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
to keep turning to God.
00:17:52.504 --> 00:17:54.940 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
I doubt you'll find certainty.
00:17:55.007 --> 00:17:57.176 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
I haven't found certainty.
00:17:57.242 --> 00:17:58.944 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
But God is calling you and
00:17:59.011 --> 00:18:01.513 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
he wants to be close to you.
00:18:01.580 --> 00:18:03.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
BLYNDA: God is big enough
00:18:03.282 --> 00:18:04.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to handle every question
00:18:04.817 --> 00:18:06.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
we have.
00:18:06.084 --> 00:18:07.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
NIKI: Yes. And I've asked him
00:18:07.386 --> 00:18:08.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
some polite questions and
00:18:08.554 --> 00:18:09.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
some very impolite questions
00:18:09.922 --> 00:18:11.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and he's --.
00:18:12.024 --> 00:18:13.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I haven't been hit
00:18:13.392 --> 00:18:14.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with a smite button yet.
00:18:14.827 --> 00:18:16.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
TAMMY: I love it.
00:18:16.161 --> 00:18:17.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I mean, that's the word.
00:18:17.696 --> 00:18:19.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Just keep walking with Jesus.
00:18:19.465 --> 00:18:20.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It might be messy today.
00:18:20.532 --> 00:18:21.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Tomorrow might be
00:18:21.633 --> 00:18:24.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a great day but just stay.
00:18:24.102 --> 00:18:25.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Stay! Keep walking with him.
00:18:25.504 --> 00:18:26.638 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Keep asking the questions.
00:18:26.705 --> 00:18:28.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Keep seeking.
00:18:28.207 --> 00:18:29.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He is never going
00:18:29.441 --> 00:18:30.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to walk away from you,
00:18:30.776 --> 00:18:32.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
no matter what question
00:18:32.110 --> 00:18:33.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you ask today.
00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That is a good word for me.
00:18:35.080 --> 00:18:36.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It's a good word
00:18:36.215 --> 00:18:37.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for all of us today.
00:18:37.783 --> 00:18:38.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to tell you
00:18:38.951 --> 00:18:40.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
another good thing
00:18:40.219 --> 00:18:41.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that's happening in the world
00:18:41.453 --> 00:18:43.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:18:43.188 --> 00:18:44.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Things that we're able to do,
00:18:44.556 --> 00:18:45.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
come alongside
00:18:45.757 --> 00:18:46.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
some incredible people,
00:18:46.825 --> 00:18:47.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and really bring them relief
00:18:48.026 --> 00:18:49.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and hope in the middle
00:18:49.194 --> 00:18:50.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of their doubting,
00:18:50.262 --> 00:18:51.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in the middle of
00:18:51.330 --> 00:18:52.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
all their questions,
00:18:52.397 --> 00:18:53.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
where are you, God?
00:18:53.465 --> 00:18:54.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I want to show you something
00:18:54.967 --> 00:18:56.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that's really beautiful.
00:18:56.335 --> 00:18:57.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It can be heartbreaking,
00:18:57.836 --> 00:18:58.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but we have a solution
00:18:58.904 --> 00:18:59.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to bring hope to these people
00:18:59.972 --> 00:19:00.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that are crying out
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:02.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to God right now.
00:19:02.107 --> 00:19:03.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Take a minute and watch this.
00:19:03.208 --> 00:19:04.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
When we come out
00:19:04.276 --> 00:19:05.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on the other side,
00:19:05.344 --> 00:19:06.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I want to just say this.
00:19:06.478 --> 00:19:08.146 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
I want you to get this book!
00:19:08.213 --> 00:19:09.348 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I'm going to offer it
00:19:09.414 --> 00:19:10.415 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
to you today.
00:19:10.482 --> 00:19:11.583 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
We're going to get it
00:19:11.650 --> 00:19:12.651 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
in your hands.
00:19:12.718 --> 00:19:13.886 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I will tell you how
00:19:13.952 --> 00:19:15.087 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
we're going to be able
00:19:15.153 --> 00:19:16.221 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
to do that together.
00:19:18.690 --> 00:19:20.859 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
When little ones depend
on you to provide them
00:19:20.926 --> 00:19:23.395 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
with water
to sustain their lives,
00:19:23.462 --> 00:19:27.466 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
you don't have time to debate
or discuss your water source.
00:19:27.533 --> 00:19:30.736 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
You can only give them
what you have access to,
00:19:30.802 --> 00:19:36.275 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
no matter how deadly
it may be.
00:19:36.341 --> 00:19:40.612 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
For Gagrielle, when she steps
into her water source,
00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:43.782 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
it is a step there is
no coming back from.
00:19:43.849 --> 00:19:45.851 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
The water she gathers
for her family
00:19:45.918 --> 00:19:49.888 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
may sustain them for a while,
but at what cost?
00:19:49.955 --> 00:19:53.458 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
For Gagrielle, the cost
has already been the lives
00:19:53.525 --> 00:19:56.261 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
of two of
her small children.
00:20:09.207 --> 00:20:11.243 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
When not caring
for her children,
00:20:11.310 --> 00:20:13.645 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
Gagrielle visits the graves
of her babies
00:20:13.712 --> 00:20:18.350 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that she has lost
and weeps and prays.
00:20:18.417 --> 00:20:20.586 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
She mourns not only
for her children,
00:20:20.652 --> 00:20:23.188 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
but for the over 20 children
in her village
00:20:23.255 --> 00:20:27.292 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
that have died due to
consuming contaminated water.
00:20:44.476 --> 00:20:48.447 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
JOHN: I'm here today
in Mapair, South Sudan,
00:20:48.513 --> 00:20:52.317 align:center line:53% position:38% size:55%
where I've been
listening to the story
of a beautiful village
00:20:52.384 --> 00:20:56.622 align:center line:58% position:40% size:60%
that has been ravaged
with waterborne illness.
00:20:56.688 --> 00:20:59.391 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
It's this one village.
00:20:59.458 --> 00:21:01.460 align:start line:79% position:10% size:45%
It breaks my heart
and makes me say,
00:21:01.526 --> 00:21:03.595 align:center line:79% position:45% size:68%
Lord, when am I going to be
able to tell Gagrielle
00:21:03.662 --> 00:21:08.066 align:center line:74% position:40% size:58%
that a well is coming,
that we're going to put
a well in her village?
00:21:08.133 --> 00:21:10.135 align:start line:79% position:10% size:38%
And we're going
to put a well
00:21:10.202 --> 00:21:12.204 align:center line:79% position:43% size:65%
in the village next to her
and next to them, so that
00:21:12.270 --> 00:21:16.341 align:center line:79% position:45% size:70%
we know that this whole area
will stop losing children.
00:21:31.456 --> 00:21:34.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
TAMMY: Loss is a heavy thing.
00:21:34.826 --> 00:21:36.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I know a little bit
00:21:36.128 --> 00:21:38.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
about that, losing my husband
00:21:38.964 --> 00:21:41.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in a scuba diving accident.
00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:43.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
His death was
00:21:44.036 --> 00:21:45.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because of water.
00:21:45.904 --> 00:21:47.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Their death is because of
00:21:47.272 --> 00:21:49.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the lack of clean water.
00:21:50.042 --> 00:21:53.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Loss, suffering,
00:21:53.245 --> 00:21:54.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
it's heavy.
00:21:54.746 --> 00:21:56.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
These people are carrying it
00:21:56.114 --> 00:21:57.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
every single day.
00:21:57.382 --> 00:21:58.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
When I see those precious
00:21:58.517 --> 00:21:59.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
little babies walking,
00:21:59.685 --> 00:22:00.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just want to scoop them up
00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:02.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and say, it's going
00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:03.355 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to be okay.
00:22:03.422 --> 00:22:04.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's going to get better.
00:22:04.656 --> 00:22:05.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But it's not going
00:22:05.724 --> 00:22:06.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to get better unless
00:22:06.958 --> 00:22:08.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we do something about it.
00:22:08.627 --> 00:22:09.895 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
And by "we," I mean
00:22:09.961 --> 00:22:11.063 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
God's people.
00:22:11.129 --> 00:22:12.364 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
He presents the need.
00:22:12.431 --> 00:22:14.232 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
It's in front of us.
00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:16.334 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Then he presents a solution
00:22:16.401 --> 00:22:17.536 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and says, I need you
00:22:17.602 --> 00:22:18.870 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
to come alongside me.
00:22:18.937 --> 00:22:20.138 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
Together, we can make
00:22:20.205 --> 00:22:21.273 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
a difference in the lives
00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:22.574 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
of so many people
00:22:22.641 --> 00:22:23.709 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
because we come
00:22:23.775 --> 00:22:25.143 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
in the name of Jesus.
00:22:25.210 --> 00:22:27.045 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
We give them water for life
00:22:27.112 --> 00:22:29.648 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
-- the water of life!
00:22:29.715 --> 00:22:31.750 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
I am so privileged.
00:22:31.817 --> 00:22:33.919 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Truly! You must know that.
00:22:33.985 --> 00:22:35.587 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
It's such a privilege for me
00:22:35.654 --> 00:22:37.856 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
all of these years, 16 years
00:22:37.923 --> 00:22:38.957 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
to be traveling
00:22:39.024 --> 00:22:40.258 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
with Life Outreach,
00:22:40.325 --> 00:22:41.493 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
going all over the world,
00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:43.095 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
sharing God's great,
00:22:43.161 --> 00:22:44.696 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
great good news and
00:22:44.763 --> 00:22:47.132 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
sharing the water of life.
00:22:47.199 --> 00:22:48.366 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Just like that village,
00:22:48.433 --> 00:22:50.435 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
John said, it would be
00:22:50.502 --> 00:22:52.003 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
incredible to show up
00:22:52.070 --> 00:22:53.405 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
tomorrow and tell them
00:22:53.472 --> 00:22:54.706 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
we're on our way.
00:22:54.773 --> 00:22:55.807 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
We're on our way,
00:22:55.874 --> 00:22:57.209 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
and we've all made it happen.
00:22:57.275 --> 00:22:58.577 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Blynda, I know that
00:22:58.643 --> 00:22:59.611 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
you haven't been out
00:22:59.678 --> 00:23:00.812 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
in the field yet with me.
00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:02.147 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I hope one day you'll get
00:23:02.214 --> 00:23:03.448 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
to do that and experience it.
00:23:03.515 --> 00:23:04.850 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
I know you're a mom.
00:23:04.916 --> 00:23:07.119 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
I know that it would be hard
00:23:07.185 --> 00:23:08.353 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
for you, probably,
00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.488 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
to imagine losing a child
00:23:09.554 --> 00:23:10.622 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
because of the water
00:23:10.689 --> 00:23:11.823 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
they're drinking.
00:23:11.890 --> 00:23:13.191 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
BLYNDA: Watching the video,
00:23:13.258 --> 00:23:14.960 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
it's sobering to think
00:23:15.026 --> 00:23:16.194 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that this is a life and death
00:23:16.261 --> 00:23:17.395 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
decision they're making
00:23:17.462 --> 00:23:18.697 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
every day for their children.
00:23:18.764 --> 00:23:19.931 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
That they know they obviously
00:23:19.998 --> 00:23:21.433 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
can't go without water.
00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.201 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
But knowing they're giving
00:23:23.268 --> 00:23:24.503 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
water is giving them
00:23:24.569 --> 00:23:26.171 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
risk of death.
00:23:26.238 --> 00:23:27.639 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
I can't imagine being faced
00:23:27.706 --> 00:23:29.407 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
with that every single day.
00:23:29.474 --> 00:23:30.976 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
And yet that is
00:23:31.042 --> 00:23:32.677 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
their reality.
00:23:32.744 --> 00:23:34.713 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
It is a reality to them.
00:23:34.780 --> 00:23:36.181 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
What I absolutely love,
00:23:36.248 --> 00:23:37.682 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
is I know that
00:23:37.749 --> 00:23:39.417 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
the Life Outreach givers
00:23:39.484 --> 00:23:40.852 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
are so generous!
00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:42.320 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
They're so generous!
00:23:42.387 --> 00:23:43.622 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
They've caught the vision
00:23:43.688 --> 00:23:45.724 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and understand that when
00:23:45.791 --> 00:23:47.492 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
they give, they save lives.
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.628 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
That's what's so important!
00:23:49.694 --> 00:23:51.596 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
That when you give, you are
00:23:51.663 --> 00:23:53.799 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
literally saving lives.
00:23:53.865 --> 00:23:55.233 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
I just want to encourage you,
00:23:55.300 --> 00:23:56.802 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
I know that you are
00:23:56.868 --> 00:23:58.570 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
a giving people and
00:23:58.637 --> 00:24:00.372 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
generosity flows out of you.
00:24:00.438 --> 00:24:01.706 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
But if you really understood
00:24:01.773 --> 00:24:03.708 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that when you watch that mom,
00:24:03.775 --> 00:24:05.010 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
you understood that
00:24:05.076 --> 00:24:06.545 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
when you give today,
00:24:06.611 --> 00:24:08.346 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
those children live.
00:24:08.413 --> 00:24:09.414 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
It's just amazing.
00:24:09.481 --> 00:24:10.549 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: It's incredible!
00:24:10.615 --> 00:24:11.650 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
Let me tell you
00:24:11.716 --> 00:24:12.751 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
what the breakdown is.
00:24:12.818 --> 00:24:13.752 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
It's super easy
00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.853 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
and anybody can do it.
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.954 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
So let me tell you
00:24:16.021 --> 00:24:17.088 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
what that looks like.
00:24:17.155 --> 00:24:18.156 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
For $48, you can provide
00:24:18.223 --> 00:24:19.357 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
water for ten people.
00:24:19.424 --> 00:24:20.625 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
For $144, you can
00:24:20.692 --> 00:24:22.127 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
provide water for 30 people.
00:24:22.194 --> 00:24:24.729 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
And if you can, $4800 will
00:24:24.796 --> 00:24:25.797 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
go in there and drill
00:24:25.864 --> 00:24:27.265 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
a complete well.
00:24:27.332 --> 00:24:28.733 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Now, this is water that
00:24:28.800 --> 00:24:29.835 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
will be provided for about
00:24:29.901 --> 00:24:31.136 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
a thousand people
00:24:31.203 --> 00:24:32.470 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
for up to about 70 years
00:24:32.537 --> 00:24:33.638 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
these wells will last.
00:24:33.705 --> 00:24:34.873 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
So basically, for the rest
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:36.141 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
of their lives, Blynda!
00:24:36.208 --> 00:24:38.109 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
We can go in there.
00:24:38.176 --> 00:24:39.411 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
It's an incredible opportunity
00:24:39.477 --> 00:24:41.379 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
that God has given us today.
00:24:41.446 --> 00:24:42.547 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Won't you jump in?
00:24:42.614 --> 00:24:43.849 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Won't you come alongside us
00:24:43.915 --> 00:24:45.050 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
and do something?
00:24:45.116 --> 00:24:46.651 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Go online. Make a call.
00:24:46.718 --> 00:24:47.652 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Let's do it together
00:24:47.719 --> 00:24:49.988 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and let's do it now.
00:24:51.523 --> 00:24:53.625 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Every day, thousands
of lives are lost
00:24:53.692 --> 00:24:55.694 align:center line:10% position:38% size:55%
to waterborne disease,
00:24:55.760 --> 00:24:57.696 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
and nearly half of those
are children
00:24:57.762 --> 00:24:59.731 align:center line:10% position:50% size:33%
