>> I was carrying this pain
from being cheated on,
00:00:10.610 --> 00:00:12.579 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
thinking that somehow
I wasn't worthy.
00:00:12.645 --> 00:00:14.614 align:start line:63% position:30% size:40%
What did I do
to deserve this?
00:00:14.681 --> 00:00:16.850 align:start line:63% position:18% size:63%
Why wasn't I good enough?
All these things.
00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:18.918 align:center line:63% position:50% size:38%
That's when God
revealed to me,
00:00:18.985 --> 00:00:21.688 align:center line:63% position:50% size:55%
Nona, all these years,
you've been looking
at that rejection
00:00:21.755 --> 00:00:25.592 align:center line:63% position:50% size:70%
like it was just painful,
when in fact, it was a gift.
00:00:25.658 --> 00:00:27.927 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
Nona Jones draws
from her experience
00:00:27.994 --> 00:00:30.029 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
to help you respond
to rejection
00:00:30.096 --> 00:00:32.165 align:center line:10% position:50% size:38%
with resilience
and resolve,
00:00:32.232 --> 00:00:35.535 align:center line:10% position:50% size:70%
rather than fear and defeat.

Welcome to Life Today.
00:00:56.256 --> 00:00:57.390 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I'm Tammy Trent, and

I am so glad you're here.

Come on in.
00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:01.861 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Grab a cup of coffee,
00:01:01.928 --> 00:01:02.896 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
grab your tea,
00:01:02.962 --> 00:01:03.963 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
grab a blanket,
00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:05.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
whatever you need,
00:01:05.098 --> 00:01:06.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but come on in.
00:01:06.166 --> 00:01:07.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Settle in with us.
00:01:07.267 --> 00:01:08.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I think today is going
00:01:08.334 --> 00:01:09.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to be a day that you need
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:10.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because I know I need it,
00:01:10.737 --> 00:01:11.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
so I'm quite sure
00:01:11.805 --> 00:01:12.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you need it too.
00:01:12.872 --> 00:01:13.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I want to introduce you
00:01:13.940 --> 00:01:15.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to someone really special
00:01:15.175 --> 00:01:17.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to me already, Blynda Lane.
00:01:17.444 --> 00:01:18.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Now, you may have seen her
00:01:18.745 --> 00:01:21.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
on TV before, just as I have.
00:01:21.114 --> 00:01:22.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You've got so much depth.
00:01:22.649 --> 00:01:24.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You have so much wisdom.
00:01:24.284 --> 00:01:26.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You are a true woman of God,
00:01:26.753 --> 00:01:27.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I'm honored to be here
00:01:27.854 --> 00:01:28.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
with you and have this time
00:01:28.955 --> 00:01:29.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
with you, Blynda.
00:01:30.023 --> 00:01:31.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Thanks for being here.
00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:32.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
BLYNDA: Thank you, Tammy.
00:01:32.158 --> 00:01:33.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I am so excited
00:01:33.226 --> 00:01:34.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
about being here today.
00:01:34.294 --> 00:01:35.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's really such an honor
00:01:35.361 --> 00:01:36.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and privilege.
00:01:36.429 --> 00:01:37.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I just, for so many years,
00:01:37.564 --> 00:01:39.098 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
have loved James and Betty,
00:01:39.165 --> 00:01:40.233 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and my heart has been
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:41.301 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
connected to them
00:01:41.367 --> 00:01:43.069 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
for 20 years.
00:01:43.136 --> 00:01:44.304 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
So, it's been really sweet
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:45.371 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
to follow along
00:01:45.438 --> 00:01:46.439 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
in the ministry
00:01:46.506 --> 00:01:47.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and then to be able
00:01:47.707 --> 00:01:48.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to guest-host with you.
00:01:48.775 --> 00:01:49.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I'm loving it!
00:01:49.843 --> 00:01:50.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: You're so blessed!
00:01:50.910 --> 00:01:52.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
BLYNDA: I am so blessed!
00:01:52.111 --> 00:01:53.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I am so blessed!
00:01:53.179 --> 00:01:54.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: It's going to be
00:01:54.414 --> 00:01:55.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
so, so good. Look.
00:01:55.482 --> 00:01:56.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're going to talk about
00:01:56.716 --> 00:01:57.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
something really important
00:01:57.984 --> 00:01:59.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to so many of us.
00:01:59.152 --> 00:02:00.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So many of us have been
00:02:00.286 --> 00:02:02.021 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
affected by this rejection.
00:02:02.088 --> 00:02:03.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It really hurts.
00:02:03.723 --> 00:02:05.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It is a painful reminder
00:02:05.658 --> 00:02:07.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that what we longed for,
00:02:07.627 --> 00:02:08.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what we hoped for
00:02:08.728 --> 00:02:09.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
didn't happen,
00:02:09.896 --> 00:02:11.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it didn't come to pass.
00:02:11.164 --> 00:02:12.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But what if rejection
00:02:12.232 --> 00:02:13.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
is actually a setup
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:14.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for something greater
00:02:15.034 --> 00:02:16.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in your life?
00:02:16.336 --> 00:02:17.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Today, we're sitting down
00:02:17.437 --> 00:02:18.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
with author and speaker
00:02:18.538 --> 00:02:20.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Nona Jones, who has written
00:02:20.173 --> 00:02:21.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a powerful book called
00:02:21.774 --> 00:02:23.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The Gift of Rejection.
00:02:23.776 --> 00:02:25.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So, can we actually discover
00:02:25.778 --> 00:02:26.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God's purpose through
00:02:26.913 --> 00:02:28.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
rejection and even experience
00:02:28.848 --> 00:02:30.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
divine breakthrough
00:02:30.316 --> 00:02:31.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
along the way?
00:02:31.451 --> 00:02:33.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Let's find out right now
00:02:33.186 --> 00:02:35.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as we welcome Nona Jones.
00:02:35.522 --> 00:02:36.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:37.023 --> 00:02:38.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
NONA: Oh, thank you both
00:02:38.091 --> 00:02:39.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for having me.
00:02:39.158 --> 00:02:40.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
This is such a privilege
00:02:40.226 --> 00:02:41.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and a joy.
00:02:41.294 --> 00:02:42.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
TAMMY: It's so good.
00:02:42.362 --> 00:02:43.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And she's right,
00:02:43.429 --> 00:02:44.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
it's such a good book.
00:02:44.497 --> 00:02:45.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm going to start right up
00:02:45.732 --> 00:02:46.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
at the top because
00:02:46.799 --> 00:02:47.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm thinking rejection
00:02:47.901 --> 00:02:49.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
as a gift?
00:02:49.168 --> 00:02:50.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
There's no way that
00:02:50.236 --> 00:02:51.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I have ever seen in my life
00:02:51.638 --> 00:02:53.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
rejection being a gift.
00:02:53.540 --> 00:02:54.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So, when I think also that
00:02:54.641 --> 00:02:55.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Nona has written this book,
00:02:55.775 --> 00:02:57.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
here's this title, there's
00:02:57.110 --> 00:02:58.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
got to be a back story.
00:02:58.511 --> 00:02:59.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
She's got to have
00:02:59.546 --> 00:03:00.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
experienced something
00:03:00.813 --> 00:03:01.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to be able to speak this
00:03:02.048 --> 00:03:03.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
into our lives.
00:03:03.116 --> 00:03:04.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So let's start there.
00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:05.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
NONA: Okay.
00:03:05.718 --> 00:03:06.819 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
So I agree with you.
00:03:06.886 --> 00:03:08.421 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I would have never imagined
00:03:08.488 --> 00:03:09.822 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
that rejection could be
00:03:09.889 --> 00:03:11.357 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
called a gift or be placed
00:03:11.424 --> 00:03:13.726 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
in the same sentence as gift.
00:03:13.793 --> 00:03:14.961 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
But let's see, this was
00:03:15.028 --> 00:03:17.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
maybe eight years ago,
00:03:17.764 --> 00:03:19.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
where I had this revelation.
00:03:19.299 --> 00:03:20.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Because when I was
00:03:20.366 --> 00:03:21.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in high school,
00:03:21.501 --> 00:03:22.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was not the girl
00:03:22.602 --> 00:03:23.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that guys wanted.
00:03:23.703 --> 00:03:25.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I was overweight,
00:03:25.972 --> 00:03:27.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and nobody wanted me.
00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:28.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But then I ended up
00:03:28.207 --> 00:03:29.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
losing weight and met a guy
00:03:29.776 --> 00:03:31.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
who really, really liked me.
00:03:31.711 --> 00:03:32.979 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And he became my boyfriend,
00:03:33.046 --> 00:03:34.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I became his girlfriend,
00:03:34.314 --> 00:03:35.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and we talked about
00:03:35.615 --> 00:03:36.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
getting married.
00:03:36.683 --> 00:03:37.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Like, this was
00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:38.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a serious relationship.
00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:39.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
One weekend, he wanted
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to take me to the movies.
00:03:41.654 --> 00:03:42.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I was excited to go;
00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:43.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I got my hair done,
00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:45.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
nails done, everything.
00:03:45.425 --> 00:03:46.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
An hour before we were
00:03:46.593 --> 00:03:47.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
supposed to go, he called me
00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:48.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and said a family emergency
00:03:48.995 --> 00:03:49.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
had come up
00:03:50.029 --> 00:03:51.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and he couldn't go.
00:03:51.531 --> 00:03:52.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Of course, I was bummed,
00:03:52.565 --> 00:03:53.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but I was ready to go
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:54.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to the movies.
00:03:54.834 --> 00:03:55.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, I called some friends
00:03:55.868 --> 00:03:57.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I said, "Hey, let's go."
00:03:57.170 --> 00:03:58.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We ended up going to
00:03:58.204 --> 00:03:59.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the movies and we're standing
00:03:59.505 --> 00:04:01.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in line at the theater,
00:04:01.107 --> 00:04:02.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I happened to look over
00:04:02.842 --> 00:04:04.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I saw my boyfriend
00:04:04.677 --> 00:04:05.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
holding hands
00:04:05.745 --> 00:04:06.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
with another girl.
00:04:06.813 --> 00:04:08.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Now, I'm not the type --
00:04:08.114 --> 00:04:09.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
there are some women
00:04:09.182 --> 00:04:10.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
who are going to be
00:04:10.249 --> 00:04:11.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
like confronting you.
00:04:11.317 --> 00:04:12.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
They're going to be
00:04:12.385 --> 00:04:13.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
angry and loud.
00:04:13.453 --> 00:04:14.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I wasn't that type.
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was just really,
00:04:15.588 --> 00:04:16.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
really hurt.
00:04:16.656 --> 00:04:17.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And my friends who also
00:04:17.724 --> 00:04:18.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
saw him were like,
00:04:18.791 --> 00:04:19.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
"He's a jerk!"
00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:20.860 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Just "It's okay, Nona.
00:04:20.927 --> 00:04:21.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It's all right."
00:04:21.995 --> 00:04:22.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He tried to call me
00:04:23.062 --> 00:04:24.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that week, right?
00:04:24.130 --> 00:04:25.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He's calling to try
00:04:25.198 --> 00:04:26.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to apologize,
00:04:26.265 --> 00:04:27.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
get back together,
00:04:27.333 --> 00:04:28.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and I wouldn't take his call.
00:04:28.668 --> 00:04:29.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Well, fast forward
00:04:29.736 --> 00:04:30.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
maybe, gosh, 15 years.
00:04:30.803 --> 00:04:32.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
At that point, I was working
00:04:32.138 --> 00:04:33.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
at the company formerly known
00:04:33.573 --> 00:04:34.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as Facebook, and a pastor
00:04:34.774 --> 00:04:36.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
friend called me and said,
00:04:36.142 --> 00:04:37.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
"Hey, I need your help
00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:38.845 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
because one of
00:04:38.911 --> 00:04:40.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
my spiritual sons is having
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
some really mean things
00:04:41.714 --> 00:04:42.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
put on his Facebook page.
00:04:43.049 --> 00:04:44.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Can you have his page
00:04:44.183 --> 00:04:45.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
taken down?"
00:04:45.351 --> 00:04:46.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I was just like, I've never
00:04:46.653 --> 00:04:47.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
had someone ask me
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to take their page down.
00:04:48.788 --> 00:04:49.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
People will say, "Can you
00:04:49.856 --> 00:04:51.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
help me get it back up?"
00:04:51.157 --> 00:04:52.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But not take it down.
00:04:52.258 --> 00:04:53.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So, I said, "Look,
00:04:53.326 --> 00:04:54.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I don't know.
00:04:54.394 --> 00:04:55.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I can't make any promises but
00:04:55.695 --> 00:04:57.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
send me a link to his page
00:04:57.230 --> 00:04:58.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I'll see what I can do.
00:04:58.765 --> 00:04:59.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I'll try to escalate it."
00:04:59.832 --> 00:05:01.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So, he texted me the link,
00:05:01.134 --> 00:05:02.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I click the link,
00:05:02.235 --> 00:05:03.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and staring back at me
00:05:03.336 --> 00:05:04.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is my ex-boyfriend
00:05:04.771 --> 00:05:05.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
from high school.
00:05:05.938 --> 00:05:07.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm sitting here like,
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:09.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
why is he looking at me?
00:05:09.075 --> 00:05:10.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So, I scroll down his page
00:05:10.877 --> 00:05:12.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I see all these comments
00:05:12.679 --> 00:05:13.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
from people saying,
00:05:13.746 --> 00:05:14.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"Serves him right!"
00:05:14.814 --> 00:05:15.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
"Cheaters get
00:05:15.882 --> 00:05:16.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what they deserve."
00:05:16.949 --> 00:05:18.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"How could he call
00:05:18.117 --> 00:05:19.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
himself a pastor,
00:05:19.185 --> 00:05:20.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
living a double life?"
00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:22.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Well, I googled his name
00:05:22.288 --> 00:05:23.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and came to find out
00:05:23.556 --> 00:05:24.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
he was murdered by
00:05:24.724 --> 00:05:27.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
his mistress, who also
00:05:27.627 --> 00:05:31.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
tried to kill his wife.
00:05:31.364 --> 00:05:32.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
In that moment, I'm literally
00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:33.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in a twilight zone
00:05:33.766 --> 00:05:34.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because all these years
00:05:34.834 --> 00:05:36.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was carrying this pain
00:05:36.169 --> 00:05:37.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
from being cheated on,
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:38.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
thinking that somehow
00:05:38.337 --> 00:05:39.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I wasn't worthy.
00:05:39.405 --> 00:05:40.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Like, what did I do
00:05:40.807 --> 00:05:41.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to deserve this?
00:05:41.874 --> 00:05:43.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Why wasn't I good enough?
00:05:43.276 --> 00:05:44.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
All these things.
00:05:44.644 --> 00:05:46.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
In that moment, I realized,
00:05:46.546 --> 00:05:48.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
wait a minute, God was
00:05:48.114 --> 00:05:50.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
protecting me from someone
00:05:50.349 --> 00:05:53.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
who had some serious issues.
00:05:53.152 --> 00:05:54.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Of course, I prayed
00:05:54.187 --> 00:05:55.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for his wife
00:05:55.321 --> 00:05:57.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and thank God she lived.
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:58.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But that could have been me.
00:05:58.491 --> 00:05:59.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
That's when God revealed
00:05:59.992 --> 00:06:01.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to me, Nona, all these years,
00:06:01.394 --> 00:06:02.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you've been looking at
00:06:02.662 --> 00:06:03.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that rejection like it was
00:06:03.796 --> 00:06:05.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
just painful, when in fact,
00:06:05.465 --> 00:06:07.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
it was a gift,
00:06:07.233 --> 00:06:08.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and you didn't realize it.
00:06:08.668 --> 00:06:10.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So that's really where
00:06:10.269 --> 00:06:11.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the whole concept came from.
00:06:11.704 --> 00:06:12.638 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I started to look back
00:06:12.705 --> 00:06:13.940 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
over my life,
00:06:14.006 --> 00:06:15.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and I realized that
00:06:15.208 --> 00:06:16.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in every single rejection
00:06:16.309 --> 00:06:17.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
experience, as painful
00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:18.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
as it was,
00:06:18.711 --> 00:06:20.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
there was a lesson in it
00:06:20.446 --> 00:06:21.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that either taught me about
00:06:21.514 --> 00:06:22.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
myself or someone else,
00:06:22.915 --> 00:06:24.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or God that ended up
00:06:24.117 --> 00:06:25.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
serving my purpose.
00:06:25.585 --> 00:06:26.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
BLYNDA: But we think of it
00:06:26.753 --> 00:06:28.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
fully as a setback.
00:06:28.354 --> 00:06:30.523 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
We have to reframe it because
00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:31.824 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I think that's when I was
00:06:31.891 --> 00:06:32.925 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
reading the book,
00:06:32.992 --> 00:06:34.193 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
it was hard to think of,
00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:35.394 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
okay, every time I have
00:06:35.461 --> 00:06:36.529 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
experienced rejection
00:06:36.596 --> 00:06:37.697 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
in my life, I would have
00:06:37.764 --> 00:06:38.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
thought, that's a setback.
00:06:39.031 --> 00:06:39.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You talked in here
00:06:40.066 --> 00:06:41.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a little bit about identity.
00:06:41.434 --> 00:06:43.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Sometimes, we put our identity
00:06:43.136 --> 00:06:44.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in something and
00:06:44.437 --> 00:06:45.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when we're rejected,
00:06:45.605 --> 00:06:46.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
all of a sudden we have this
00:06:46.906 --> 00:06:48.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
identity of being rejected,
00:06:48.741 --> 00:06:50.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and we carry that.
00:06:50.309 --> 00:06:53.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
What would you say to someone
00:06:53.713 --> 00:06:54.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
who, when they have been
00:06:54.914 --> 00:06:55.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
rejected, and they think
00:06:55.982 --> 00:06:57.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of it as a setback,
00:06:57.183 --> 00:06:58.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
now, they kind of wear
00:06:58.384 --> 00:06:59.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that identity?
00:06:59.452 --> 00:07:00.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I've always thought of it
00:07:00.653 --> 00:07:01.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
this way.
00:07:01.721 --> 00:07:02.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We don't want people's
00:07:02.789 --> 00:07:03.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
approval to be our identity,
00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:04.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because then when
00:07:05.057 --> 00:07:06.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
they reject us,
00:07:06.125 --> 00:07:07.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that could be our identity.
00:07:07.326 --> 00:07:08.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We have to just be
00:07:08.561 --> 00:07:09.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
very careful that we find
00:07:09.762 --> 00:07:11.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
our identity in Christ.
00:07:11.097 --> 00:07:12.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, explain how you would
00:07:12.465 --> 00:07:14.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
tell somebody that rejection
00:07:14.634 --> 00:07:16.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
isn't their identity.
00:07:16.402 --> 00:07:17.470 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
NONA: Well, that's
00:07:17.537 --> 00:07:18.771 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
a great question.
00:07:18.838 --> 00:07:20.006 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I will say the pain
00:07:20.072 --> 00:07:21.574 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
of rejection is human.
00:07:21.641 --> 00:07:22.642 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Sometimes, we think,
00:07:22.708 --> 00:07:23.843 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
oh, my gosh!
00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:25.077 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
If I know Jesus enough,
00:07:25.144 --> 00:07:26.345 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I will never be hurt
00:07:26.412 --> 00:07:27.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
by people's decisions.
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:28.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
That is not true.
00:07:28.548 --> 00:07:30.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We feel pain because,
00:07:30.283 --> 00:07:31.818 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in order to even experience
00:07:31.884 --> 00:07:32.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
rejection, you have to first
00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:34.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
have had the hope
00:07:34.086 --> 00:07:35.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that you were accepted.
00:07:35.154 --> 00:07:36.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Right?
00:07:36.222 --> 00:07:37.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Like you don't feel rejected
00:07:37.390 --> 00:07:38.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because you didn't get a job
00:07:38.791 --> 00:07:39.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you didn't apply for.
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And you don't feel rejected
00:07:41.127 --> 00:07:42.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because a man that
00:07:42.195 --> 00:07:43.196 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you're not interested in
00:07:43.262 --> 00:07:44.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
isn't interested in you.
00:07:44.330 --> 00:07:45.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You don't feel rejected
00:07:45.398 --> 00:07:46.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because some strangers
00:07:46.465 --> 00:07:47.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
didn't show up for you
00:07:47.633 --> 00:07:48.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in your time of need.
00:07:48.835 --> 00:07:49.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
No. You feel rejected
00:07:49.902 --> 00:07:50.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because you applied for
00:07:50.970 --> 00:07:52.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the job and didn't get it.
00:07:52.405 --> 00:07:53.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Because the person
00:07:53.606 --> 00:07:54.607 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you gave the best years
00:07:54.674 --> 00:07:55.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of your life to
00:07:55.808 --> 00:07:56.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
walked away, and because
00:07:56.909 --> 00:07:58.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you told people that
00:07:58.077 --> 00:07:59.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you thought cared about you,
00:07:59.178 --> 00:08:00.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that you needed them,
00:08:00.246 --> 00:08:01.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and they didn't show up.
00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:02.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, when you experience
00:08:02.315 --> 00:08:03.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
rejection, it doesn't just
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:04.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
break your pride,
00:08:04.917 --> 00:08:06.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it actually breaks your heart.
00:08:06.919 --> 00:08:08.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That's where identity
00:08:08.654 --> 00:08:10.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
comes in, because your hope
00:08:11.023 --> 00:08:12.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
was in being accepted.
00:08:13.025 --> 00:08:14.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I think what we have to learn
00:08:14.227 --> 00:08:15.328 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to do, and of course,
00:08:15.394 --> 00:08:16.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it's hard because look,
00:08:16.596 --> 00:08:18.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I see you, you see me,
00:08:18.598 --> 00:08:20.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God, we don't see him.
00:08:20.099 --> 00:08:21.133 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He's always here.
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:22.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He's always present,
00:08:22.201 --> 00:08:23.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but we don't see him.
00:08:23.469 --> 00:08:24.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So, we naturally put
00:08:24.570 --> 00:08:25.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
our hope in what we see.
00:08:25.838 --> 00:08:26.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We have to learn to place
00:08:26.973 --> 00:08:28.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
our hope in the God
00:08:28.441 --> 00:08:30.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of the universe who decided
00:08:30.543 --> 00:08:31.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that you were necessary
00:08:31.878 --> 00:08:33.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
for creation before you were
00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:35.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
even formed in the womb.
00:08:35.748 --> 00:08:36.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
That's where we have
00:08:36.916 --> 00:08:37.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to derive our sense
00:08:37.950 --> 00:08:38.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of identity.
00:08:39.018 --> 00:08:40.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
TAMMY: That's exactly right.
00:08:40.086 --> 00:08:41.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
There are so many people,
00:08:41.153 --> 00:08:42.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Nona, don't you think,
00:08:42.288 --> 00:08:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that feel like rejection
00:08:43.456 --> 00:08:44.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
keeps chasing them down,
00:08:44.524 --> 00:08:46.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
keeps finding them somehow?
00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:48.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
How can they ever be free?
00:08:48.628 --> 00:08:49.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
How can they heal from it?
00:08:49.896 --> 00:08:50.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Because if I'm being honest,
00:08:50.997 --> 00:08:52.665 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
I think with me
00:08:52.732 --> 00:08:53.866 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
and the rejection
00:08:53.933 --> 00:08:55.034 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I felt in my own life has
00:08:55.101 --> 00:08:56.836 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
always been loosely tied
00:08:56.903 --> 00:08:58.604 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
to even my music career,
00:08:58.671 --> 00:09:00.339 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
whether I got a record deal.
00:09:00.406 --> 00:09:02.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I was dropped from the deal,
00:09:02.141 --> 00:09:03.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
dropped from a booking agent,
00:09:03.476 --> 00:09:04.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
put on the biggest tour
00:09:04.543 --> 00:09:05.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and then taken off.
00:09:05.611 --> 00:09:06.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
All the different things
00:09:06.712 --> 00:09:09.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
where your value and worth
00:09:09.815 --> 00:09:10.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
seems so tied
00:09:11.017 --> 00:09:11.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
into these things.
00:09:12.051 --> 00:09:13.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Then when rejection comes,
00:09:13.452 --> 00:09:14.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
everything's shifted,
00:09:14.520 --> 00:09:15.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
everything's changed.
00:09:15.688 --> 00:09:17.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So is the gift
00:09:17.390 --> 00:09:19.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
learning how to unpack,
00:09:19.225 --> 00:09:21.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
unwrap what rejection looks
00:09:21.594 --> 00:09:23.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
like to see what's inside
00:09:23.262 --> 00:09:24.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of that gift to go
00:09:24.897 --> 00:09:26.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
if I'm given better tools,
00:09:26.198 --> 00:09:27.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I might be able to deal
00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:28.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
with this better
00:09:28.868 --> 00:09:29.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when rejection comes
00:09:29.936 --> 00:09:30.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and hits me again.
00:09:31.003 --> 00:09:32.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
What would you speak to that?
00:09:32.605 --> 00:09:33.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And I feel like you've
00:09:33.906 --> 00:09:35.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
written a lot about that
00:09:35.241 --> 00:09:36.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in your book,
00:09:36.309 --> 00:09:37.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
which is helpful for people
00:09:37.643 --> 00:09:38.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that feel like I'm trapped
00:09:38.978 --> 00:09:39.979 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in rejection.
00:09:40.046 --> 00:09:41.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
NONA: Well, one of
00:09:41.347 --> 00:09:42.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the through-lines in the book
00:09:42.748 --> 00:09:44.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
is the story
00:09:44.183 --> 00:09:45.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of David and Goliath.
00:09:45.918 --> 00:09:48.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Because, you know, we all
00:09:48.087 --> 00:09:49.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
know about David and Goliath
00:09:49.622 --> 00:09:50.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and how there's this
00:09:50.890 --> 00:09:52.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
young shepherd boy that
00:09:52.124 --> 00:09:53.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
slays this nine-foot-tall
00:09:53.192 --> 00:09:54.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Philistine giant.
00:09:54.260 --> 00:09:55.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Well, in First Samuel
00:09:55.528 --> 00:09:57.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
chapter 17, at verse 32:
00:10:38.270 --> 00:10:40.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Now when we hear that,
00:10:40.439 --> 00:10:43.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
we're like, yeah, David!
00:10:43.275 --> 00:10:44.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But if you go back
00:10:44.577 --> 00:10:46.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
just one chapter,
00:10:46.245 --> 00:10:47.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and this is where I think
00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:48.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the whole idea of rejection
00:10:49.048 --> 00:10:50.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
being a gift really seeped
00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:52.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
into my understanding.
00:10:52.685 --> 00:10:53.619 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
If you go back one chapter,
00:10:53.686 --> 00:10:55.154 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
you find that the Lord
00:10:55.221 --> 00:10:56.689 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
decided that he was going
00:10:56.756 --> 00:10:59.658 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
to make one of Jesse's sons
00:10:59.725 --> 00:11:00.893 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the next king of Israel.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.361 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
For those who know the story,
00:11:02.428 --> 00:11:03.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it turns out that it was
00:11:03.863 --> 00:11:05.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
David who was going to be
00:11:05.331 --> 00:11:06.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the next king of Israel.
00:11:06.565 --> 00:11:07.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But when the prophet Samuel
00:11:07.933 --> 00:11:08.934 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
goes to Jesse's house
00:11:09.001 --> 00:11:10.236 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and he's like, "Show me
00:11:10.302 --> 00:11:11.303 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
all of your sons,
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:12.605 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
because I'm going to anoint
00:11:12.671 --> 00:11:13.672 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
one of them king."
00:11:13.739 --> 00:11:14.974 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
He didn't tell him that,
00:11:15.041 --> 00:11:16.042 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
but he knew.
00:11:16.108 --> 00:11:17.476 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
It says that all of the sons
00:11:17.543 --> 00:11:18.911 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
came to Samuel.
00:11:18.978 --> 00:11:20.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Jesse had all his sons
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
come to Samuel.
00:11:21.614 --> 00:11:22.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But there was one that
00:11:22.948 --> 00:11:24.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
was left out in the field
00:11:24.183 --> 00:11:26.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
by himself to tend sheep.
00:11:26.452 --> 00:11:27.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And so, Samuel looks at
00:11:27.753 --> 00:11:29.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
all the sons, and he's like,
00:11:29.188 --> 00:11:30.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"None of these are
00:11:30.256 --> 00:11:31.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the chosen one.
00:11:31.323 --> 00:11:32.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Are these all the sons
00:11:32.458 --> 00:11:33.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
you have?"
00:11:33.526 --> 00:11:34.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And Jesse's like, "Oh,
00:11:34.593 --> 00:11:35.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
there is still the youngest.
00:11:35.761 --> 00:11:36.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He's out in the field
00:11:36.929 --> 00:11:37.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
tending the sheep."
00:11:37.997 --> 00:11:39.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So it wasn't that David
00:11:39.131 --> 00:11:40.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
wasn't there because
00:11:40.199 --> 00:11:41.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they didn't know where
00:11:41.267 --> 00:11:42.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
he was, it's that
00:11:42.268 --> 00:11:43.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
they knew where he was,
00:11:43.302 --> 00:11:44.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but they didn't invite him.
00:11:44.570 --> 00:11:45.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And in that case, him being
00:11:46.005 --> 00:11:47.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
left out in the field
00:11:47.406 --> 00:11:48.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to tend those sheep
00:11:48.541 --> 00:11:49.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and fight those lions
00:11:49.675 --> 00:11:50.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and fight those bears
00:11:50.810 --> 00:11:52.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
becomes the necessary
00:11:52.111 --> 00:11:53.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
precondition for him
00:11:53.913 --> 00:11:55.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to have the courage in
00:11:55.081 --> 00:11:58.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the Lord to defeat Goliath.
00:11:58.250 --> 00:11:59.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And the contention that
00:11:59.385 --> 00:12:00.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I've been making, and
00:12:00.386 --> 00:12:01.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I really want people
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:02.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to understand, is that
00:12:02.588 --> 00:12:04.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
every rejection contains
00:12:04.156 --> 00:12:06.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the gift of an inflection
00:12:06.258 --> 00:12:08.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
point because rejection
00:12:08.327 --> 00:12:10.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
positions you for purpose.
00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:11.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
In the case of David,
00:12:11.831 --> 00:12:13.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
he would have never had
00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:14.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the courage to stand
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
before Goliath.
00:12:15.434 --> 00:12:16.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I mean, warriors were
00:12:16.902 --> 00:12:18.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
afraid of Goliath.
00:12:18.137 --> 00:12:19.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Here's this young shepherd boy
00:12:19.338 --> 00:12:20.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
who's like, I'll fight him.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Why? Because he was left out
00:12:22.007 --> 00:12:24.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the field by himself
00:12:24.110 --> 00:12:25.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to tend sheep.
00:12:25.678 --> 00:12:27.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
That enabled him
00:12:27.146 --> 00:12:28.180 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to fight off lions and bears
00:12:28.247 --> 00:12:29.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with nobody but the Lord,
00:12:29.648 --> 00:12:30.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and that gave him the courage
00:12:30.850 --> 00:12:31.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
he needed to stand
00:12:31.884 --> 00:12:32.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and to fight.
00:12:32.952 --> 00:12:33.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, rejection positions you
00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:35.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for purpose.
00:12:35.121 --> 00:12:36.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
What I encourage people to do
00:12:36.522 --> 00:12:37.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is when you experience
00:12:37.623 --> 00:12:39.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
rejection, instead of saying,
00:12:39.391 --> 00:12:41.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
oh, what's wrong with me?
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Ask, God, what are
00:12:42.495 --> 00:12:44.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you positioning me for?
00:12:44.730 --> 00:12:45.731 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
BLYNDA: I remember reading
00:12:45.798 --> 00:12:46.799 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
where you also said
00:12:46.866 --> 00:12:47.867 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
it's like an invitation
00:12:47.933 --> 00:12:48.934 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
for transformation.
00:12:49.001 --> 00:12:50.002 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
When you think about
00:12:50.069 --> 00:12:51.070 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
an invitation to something,
00:12:51.137 --> 00:12:52.571 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
it's like, oh, I want to be
00:12:52.638 --> 00:12:53.639 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
invited to something!
00:12:53.706 --> 00:12:54.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And you always want
00:12:54.773 --> 00:12:55.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to accept it.
00:12:55.841 --> 00:12:56.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
This is like, I'm accepting
00:12:56.909 --> 00:12:57.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
this invitation for
00:12:57.977 --> 00:12:59.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
transformation by saying,
00:12:59.445 --> 00:13:00.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
okay, to the rejection.
00:13:01.013 --> 00:13:03.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
That's pretty powerful.
00:13:03.082 --> 00:13:04.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And really, when I think
00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:05.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
about the story of David,
00:13:05.451 --> 00:13:06.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I think, okay, his life
00:13:06.886 --> 00:13:09.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
was transformed clearly
00:13:09.155 --> 00:13:10.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
by being told that
00:13:10.656 --> 00:13:12.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he's going to be king.
00:13:12.258 --> 00:13:13.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Then he went, but at that
00:13:13.692 --> 00:13:15.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
moment -- at that moment,
00:13:15.461 --> 00:13:16.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't know if I've ever sat
00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:18.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and really thought about,
00:13:18.497 --> 00:13:20.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
did he experience
00:13:20.099 --> 00:13:21.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that devastating feeling
00:13:21.934 --> 00:13:23.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of rejection?
00:13:23.302 --> 00:13:24.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
NONA: Well, if you read
00:13:24.403 --> 00:13:25.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the Psalms, and they're really
00:13:25.504 --> 00:13:26.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
powerful, there are several
00:13:26.572 --> 00:13:28.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Psalms where David actually
00:13:28.274 --> 00:13:30.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
writes about how he was born
00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:31.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in iniquity.
00:13:31.777 --> 00:13:33.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He talks about how he was
00:13:33.145 --> 00:13:34.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
shunned by his family.
00:13:34.647 --> 00:13:35.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
He talks about
00:13:35.881 --> 00:13:37.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
how he was rejected.
00:13:37.449 --> 00:13:39.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And so, we celebrate
00:13:39.318 --> 00:13:40.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what happens on the day
00:13:40.486 --> 00:13:41.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of the battle, but
00:13:41.787 --> 00:13:42.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we don't see what happens
00:13:42.988 --> 00:13:44.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
behind the scenes.
00:13:44.323 --> 00:13:45.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That's the rejection that
00:13:45.558 --> 00:13:47.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
prepares you for the battle.
00:13:47.092 --> 00:13:48.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It's so funny because
00:13:48.394 --> 00:13:50.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'm a speaker now
00:13:50.296 --> 00:13:51.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I do all of this,
00:13:51.597 --> 00:13:52.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but it's only because
00:13:52.731 --> 00:13:53.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of rejection.
00:13:53.866 --> 00:13:55.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Like I actually had
00:13:55.201 --> 00:13:56.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a manager, I was doing
00:13:56.702 --> 00:13:57.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
speaking for a company.
00:13:57.770 --> 00:13:58.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I had a manager tell me
00:13:58.837 --> 00:13:59.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that she didn't want me
00:13:59.838 --> 00:14:00.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to do any more speaking
00:14:00.906 --> 00:14:01.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for the company.
00:14:01.974 --> 00:14:02.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But people were still
00:14:03.042 --> 00:14:04.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
inviting me to speak
00:14:04.109 --> 00:14:05.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on behalf of the company.
00:14:05.177 --> 00:14:06.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And so, I had to tell them,
00:14:06.478 --> 00:14:07.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
hey, I can't do this anymore.
00:14:07.546 --> 00:14:08.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
They were like, "Well,
00:14:08.614 --> 00:14:09.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
can you just speak
00:14:09.682 --> 00:14:11.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
as you like without
00:14:11.150 --> 00:14:12.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the company title or name?
00:14:12.451 --> 00:14:13.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Can you just do that?"
00:14:13.752 --> 00:14:15.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, I started to do it,
00:14:15.788 --> 00:14:17.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I couldn't get paid
00:14:17.256 --> 00:14:18.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
when I was speaking
00:14:18.457 --> 00:14:19.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
for the company, but when
00:14:19.658 --> 00:14:20.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I started to speak as me,
00:14:20.893 --> 00:14:21.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
then I could get paid.
00:14:22.027 --> 00:14:23.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's all of those things
00:14:23.295 --> 00:14:24.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
where rejection positions you
00:14:24.797 --> 00:14:25.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for purpose.
00:14:25.864 --> 00:14:26.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
TAMMY: Yes!
00:14:26.932 --> 00:14:27.933 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
It's like everything
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.435 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
you're saying positions you
00:14:29.501 --> 00:14:30.536 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
for purpose
00:14:30.603 --> 00:14:32.004 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
in that redirecting.
00:14:32.071 --> 00:14:33.572 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
That God, if you believe
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.673 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
he is a redeemer,
00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
do you believe that
00:14:35.841 --> 00:14:37.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
he can redirect anything?
00:14:37.710 --> 00:14:38.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
If you can look at,
00:14:38.978 --> 00:14:40.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
if you can somehow
00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
get to a place of just saying
00:14:41.614 --> 00:14:42.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I believe, then even if
00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:44.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it hurts, it's painful, but
00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:46.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I believe, and I trust God
00:14:46.285 --> 00:14:47.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that he's in the details.
00:14:47.853 --> 00:14:49.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That he can turn this around
00:14:49.221 --> 00:14:50.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and he will redirect us.
00:14:50.856 --> 00:14:51.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think, just as you touched
00:14:52.057 --> 00:14:53.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
on that story of David
00:14:53.192 --> 00:14:55.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and Goliath, my takeaway were
00:14:55.194 --> 00:14:57.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
four insights, four insights.
00:14:57.496 --> 00:14:58.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You touched on the one,
00:14:58.597 --> 00:14:59.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the gift of rejection
00:14:59.999 --> 00:15:01.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
positions you for purpose.
00:15:01.667 --> 00:15:02.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The other, the gift
00:15:02.868 --> 00:15:04.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of rejection reveals the role
00:15:04.603 --> 00:15:05.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of people's lives
00:15:05.838 --> 00:15:07.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in your destiny.
00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:08.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Three: The gift of rejection
00:15:08.407 --> 00:15:10.109 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
anchors your identity, which
00:15:10.175 --> 00:15:11.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you talked about earlier.
00:15:11.310 --> 00:15:12.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And four: The gift
00:15:12.478 --> 00:15:13.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of rejection draws you
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
nearer to God.
00:15:15.581 --> 00:15:17.283 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
What's the most important one?
00:15:17.349 --> 00:15:18.417 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
NONA: They're all important,
00:15:18.484 --> 00:15:19.551 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
but the last one, I think,
00:15:19.618 --> 00:15:20.953 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
is critical because when
00:15:21.020 --> 00:15:22.488 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
you're faced with rejection,
00:15:22.554 --> 00:15:23.656 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
your first response,
00:15:23.722 --> 00:15:24.757 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
if you don't understand
00:15:24.823 --> 00:15:25.858 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that it is a gift,
00:15:25.924 --> 00:15:27.126 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
your first response could be
00:15:27.192 --> 00:15:29.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to take it personally.
00:15:29.561 --> 00:15:30.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
When you take it personally,
00:15:30.863 --> 00:15:32.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it can end up separating you
00:15:32.231 --> 00:15:33.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
from God because you're like,
00:15:34.033 --> 00:15:35.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
why did this happen?
00:15:35.167 --> 00:15:36.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You know, my own mother
00:15:36.502 --> 00:15:37.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
situation, why, Lord,
00:15:38.037 --> 00:15:39.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
would you let me be born
00:15:39.138 --> 00:15:40.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to a mom who would let
00:15:40.306 --> 00:15:41.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
her boyfriend abuse me
00:15:41.540 --> 00:15:42.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
as a child?
00:15:42.574 --> 00:15:44.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God, why would you cause
00:15:44.310 --> 00:15:45.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
my friends to abandon me
00:15:45.978 --> 00:15:47.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when I when I had need?
00:15:47.513 --> 00:15:48.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Why would you allow me
00:15:48.747 --> 00:15:49.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to be humiliated?
00:15:49.915 --> 00:15:51.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
All those questions.
00:15:51.116 --> 00:15:52.418 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But once you understand,
00:15:52.484 --> 00:15:53.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God said, "I will never
00:15:53.552 --> 00:15:54.620 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
leave you.
00:15:54.687 --> 00:15:55.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I will never forsake you."
00:15:55.821 --> 00:15:56.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
To leave someone
00:15:56.955 --> 00:15:58.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is to physically separate
00:15:58.157 --> 00:15:59.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
yourself from them.
00:15:59.391 --> 00:16:00.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
To forsake someone is
00:16:00.592 --> 00:16:01.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to emotionally separate
00:16:02.027 --> 00:16:03.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
yourself from them.
00:16:03.195 --> 00:16:04.330 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
God said, "I will never
00:16:04.396 --> 00:16:05.564 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
physically or emotionally
00:16:05.631 --> 00:16:07.099 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
separate myself from you,
00:16:07.166 --> 00:16:08.600 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
but you have to be willing
00:16:08.667 --> 00:16:10.269 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
to stay near me
00:16:10.336 --> 00:16:11.904 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
even when it hurts,
00:16:11.970 --> 00:16:13.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
even when there's pain."
00:16:13.739 --> 00:16:15.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That's a decision we have
00:16:15.174 --> 00:16:16.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to make because we get
00:16:16.342 --> 00:16:17.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
so fixated on
00:16:17.710 --> 00:16:18.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
who walked away,
00:16:18.977 --> 00:16:20.979 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that we forget who never left.
00:16:21.046 --> 00:16:22.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
God is always there.
00:16:22.281 --> 00:16:23.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
BLYNDA: That's so good.
00:16:23.349 --> 00:16:24.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Is that Romans 8:28?
00:16:24.416 --> 00:16:26.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
He is working it all for good,
00:16:26.185 --> 00:16:27.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we just have to trust him.
00:16:27.953 --> 00:16:29.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We have to believe,
00:16:29.188 --> 00:16:30.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and we have to accept
00:16:30.656 --> 00:16:32.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the invitation to just sit
00:16:32.758 --> 00:16:34.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in it for a minute
00:16:34.326 --> 00:16:36.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and to be okay with, okay,
00:16:36.695 --> 00:16:37.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
this feels uncomfortable,
00:16:38.030 --> 00:16:39.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
this feels painful, but
00:16:39.198 --> 00:16:40.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God, you've got something
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for me in it.
00:16:42.134 --> 00:16:43.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
TAMMY: And really
00:16:43.369 --> 00:16:44.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
believing that.
00:16:44.636 --> 00:16:45.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think sometimes a struggle
00:16:45.804 --> 00:16:47.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for people is
00:16:47.406 --> 00:16:49.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I hear what you're saying.
00:16:49.241 --> 00:16:51.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It makes sense.
00:16:51.076 --> 00:16:52.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
How do I make it make sense
00:16:53.045 --> 00:16:55.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for me and my story?
00:16:55.381 --> 00:16:56.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But if you had a minute with
00:16:56.715 --> 00:16:57.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
somebody sitting on a plane,
00:16:57.950 --> 00:16:59.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
sitting on the other side
00:16:59.118 --> 00:17:00.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of the TV, what would you say
00:17:00.686 --> 00:17:01.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to them to just give them
00:17:01.754 --> 00:17:03.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
some hope today?
00:17:03.522 --> 00:17:04.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
NONA: So, I will speak
00:17:04.957 --> 00:17:07.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
directly to you because
00:17:07.693 --> 00:17:08.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I know that when rejection
00:17:08.761 --> 00:17:10.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
happens, it feels like
00:17:10.396 --> 00:17:12.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a personal assault
00:17:12.231 --> 00:17:13.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
against who we are.
00:17:14.032 --> 00:17:15.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
This person made a choice,
00:17:15.901 --> 00:17:17.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and that choice wasn't me.
00:17:17.836 --> 00:17:19.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But I want you to understand
00:17:19.438 --> 00:17:20.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that there are two types
00:17:20.639 --> 00:17:22.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of people in your life.
00:17:22.141 --> 00:17:23.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
There are those who are
00:17:23.308 --> 00:17:24.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
attached, and there are
00:17:24.543 --> 00:17:26.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
those who are assigned.
00:17:26.078 --> 00:17:27.346 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
When someone is attached
00:17:27.413 --> 00:17:28.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to you, they are connected
00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:29.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to you for as long as the
00:17:29.915 --> 00:17:31.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
relationship benefits them.
00:17:31.650 --> 00:17:32.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
But they will detach
00:17:33.051 --> 00:17:34.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the moment that you stop
00:17:34.253 --> 00:17:35.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
channeling benefits
00:17:35.387 --> 00:17:36.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in their direction.
00:17:36.588 --> 00:17:37.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
What happens is
00:17:37.689 --> 00:17:38.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
their detachment
00:17:38.857 --> 00:17:40.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
triggers insecurity.
00:17:40.125 --> 00:17:41.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, we start to wonder,
00:17:41.260 --> 00:17:42.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what do I have to do to get
00:17:42.294 --> 00:17:43.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you to attach to me again?
00:17:43.962 --> 00:17:45.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
People who are assigned
00:17:45.097 --> 00:17:46.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to you are not connected
00:17:46.498 --> 00:17:47.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to you for what they can
00:17:47.666 --> 00:17:48.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
get out of the relationship,
00:17:48.967 --> 00:17:50.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
they're connected to you
00:17:50.068 --> 00:17:51.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
for what they can contribute
00:17:51.103 --> 00:17:52.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to the relationship.
00:17:52.438 --> 00:17:53.405 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Those are the people that
00:17:53.472 --> 00:17:54.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you have to pray
00:17:54.606 --> 00:17:55.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for discernment for God
00:17:55.874 --> 00:17:57.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to show you who is assigned
00:17:57.276 --> 00:17:58.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to me in my life so I can
00:17:58.644 --> 00:18:00.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
stop giving assignment
00:18:00.078 --> 00:18:02.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
energy to attached people.
00:18:02.314 --> 00:18:03.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Attached people,
00:18:03.382 --> 00:18:04.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you've got to love them.
00:18:04.683 --> 00:18:06.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You give grace to them,
00:18:06.084 --> 00:18:07.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but you do not allow them
00:18:07.219 --> 00:18:08.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to determine your worth
00:18:08.387 --> 00:18:09.755 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and your value.
00:18:09.822 --> 00:18:10.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Once they've made a decision
00:18:11.023 --> 00:18:12.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to detach from you,
00:18:12.524 --> 00:18:13.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you accept it, and you pray
00:18:13.959 --> 00:18:15.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
for God to fill the spot
00:18:15.561 --> 00:18:17.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
they left open with someone
00:18:17.229 --> 00:18:18.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
who will be assigned to you.
00:18:18.530 --> 00:18:19.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Because God will do it
00:18:19.832 --> 00:18:21.133 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and he is faithful.
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
BLYNDA: Praise God!
00:18:22.434 --> 00:18:23.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
That was like --
00:18:23.569 --> 00:18:28.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I mean, that was so good.
00:18:28.507 --> 00:18:30.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
TAMMY: Yes! It's so good.
00:18:30.075 --> 00:18:31.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
That's what I love about you.
00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:33.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You have so much to say
00:18:33.378 --> 00:18:34.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because you've experienced
00:18:34.446 --> 00:18:35.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
so much.
00:18:35.514 --> 00:18:36.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
You're wise,
00:18:36.582 --> 00:18:37.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it's rich, it's deep,
00:18:37.649 --> 00:18:38.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and you've downloaded it
00:18:38.717 --> 00:18:39.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
into this book,
00:18:39.785 --> 00:18:41.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
The Gift of Rejection.
00:18:41.186 --> 00:18:44.022 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I want to say to you today,
00:18:44.089 --> 00:18:45.491 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
I want you to have this book,
00:18:45.557 --> 00:18:46.658 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
especially if you're
00:18:46.725 --> 00:18:47.759 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
struggling with that and you
00:18:47.826 --> 00:18:48.894 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
want a clear understanding.
00:18:48.961 --> 00:18:50.329 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You need a revelation
00:18:50.395 --> 00:18:51.396 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
from God today.
00:18:51.463 --> 00:18:52.464 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I believe you'll be able
00:18:52.531 --> 00:18:53.532 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
to find that within
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.600 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
the pages of this book.
00:18:54.666 --> 00:18:55.667 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
I want to get it
00:18:55.734 --> 00:18:56.735 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
in your hands.
00:18:56.802 --> 00:18:58.036 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I'm going to tell you how
00:18:58.103 --> 00:18:59.605 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
I can send this to you today.
00:18:59.671 --> 00:19:00.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But first, I want you
00:19:00.739 --> 00:19:01.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to take a second
00:19:01.807 --> 00:19:02.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to stick around with us.
00:19:02.908 --> 00:19:03.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Please don't go anywhere.
00:19:03.976 --> 00:19:05.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Stick around, because I want
00:19:05.110 --> 00:19:06.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to wrap it up at the end.
00:19:06.678 --> 00:19:07.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But right now, I want
00:19:07.813 --> 00:19:08.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to show you something
00:19:08.914 --> 00:19:10.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that's so special to me.
00:19:10.249 --> 00:19:11.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I want you to see this, too.
00:19:11.383 --> 00:19:13.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It's really special.
00:19:13.185 --> 00:19:14.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Just sit back, watch this
00:19:14.586 --> 00:19:15.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because just as much as
00:19:15.654 --> 00:19:16.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we are all sitting together
00:19:16.922 --> 00:19:18.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and wanting to bring you hope,
00:19:18.156 --> 00:19:19.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
there are a lot of people
00:19:19.224 --> 00:19:20.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
around the world right now
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that desperately need hope
00:19:22.528 --> 00:19:23.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and a touch from God
00:19:23.629 --> 00:19:24.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:19:24.696 --> 00:19:26.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:19:29.668 --> 00:19:31.837 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
When little ones depend
on you to provide them
00:19:31.904 --> 00:19:34.373 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
with water
to sustain their lives,
00:19:34.439 --> 00:19:38.443 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
you don't have time to debate
or discuss your water source.
00:19:38.510 --> 00:19:41.713 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
You can only give them
what you have access to,
00:19:41.780 --> 00:19:47.252 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
no matter how deadly
it may be.
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.590 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
For Gagrielle, when she steps
into her water source,
00:19:51.657 --> 00:19:54.760 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
it is a step there is
no coming back from.
00:19:54.826 --> 00:19:56.828 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
The water she gathers
for her family
00:19:56.895 --> 00:20:00.866 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
may sustain them for a while,
but at what cost?
00:20:00.933 --> 00:20:04.436 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
For Gagrielle, the cost
has already been the lives
00:20:04.503 --> 00:20:07.239 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
of two of
her small children.
00:20:20.185 --> 00:20:22.220 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
When not caring
for her children,
00:20:22.287 --> 00:20:24.623 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
Gagrielle visits the graves
of her babies
00:20:24.690 --> 00:20:29.328 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that she has lost
and weeps and prays.
00:20:29.394 --> 00:20:31.563 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
She mourns not only
for her children,
00:20:31.630 --> 00:20:34.166 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
but for the over 20 children
in her village
00:20:34.232 --> 00:20:38.270 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
that have died due to
consuming contaminated water.
00:20:55.454 --> 00:20:59.424 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
JOHN: I'm here today
in Mapair, South Sudan,
00:20:59.491 --> 00:21:03.295 align:center line:53% position:38% size:55%
where I've been
listening to the story
of a beautiful village
00:21:03.362 --> 00:21:07.599 align:center line:58% position:40% size:60%
that has been ravaged
with waterborne illness.
00:21:07.666 --> 00:21:10.369 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
It's this one village.
00:21:10.435 --> 00:21:12.437 align:start line:79% position:10% size:45%
It breaks my heart
and makes me say,
00:21:12.504 --> 00:21:14.573 align:center line:79% position:45% size:68%
Lord, when am I going to be
able to tell Gagrielle
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:19.044 align:center line:74% position:40% size:58%
that a well is coming,
that we're going to put
a well in her village?
00:21:19.111 --> 00:21:21.113 align:start line:79% position:10% size:38%
And we're going
to put a well
00:21:21.179 --> 00:21:23.181 align:center line:79% position:43% size:65%
in the village next to her
and next to them, so that
00:21:23.248 --> 00:21:27.319 align:center line:79% position:45% size:70%
we know that this whole area
will stop losing children.
00:21:42.434 --> 00:21:45.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
TAMMY: Loss is a heavy thing.
00:21:45.804 --> 00:21:47.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I know a little bit
00:21:47.105 --> 00:21:49.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
about that, losing my husband
00:21:49.941 --> 00:21:52.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in a scuba diving accident.
00:21:52.778 --> 00:21:54.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
His death was
00:21:55.013 --> 00:21:56.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because of water.
00:21:56.882 --> 00:21:58.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Their death is because of
00:21:58.250 --> 00:22:00.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the lack of clean water.
00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:04.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Loss, suffering,
00:22:04.222 --> 00:22:05.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
it's heavy.
00:22:05.724 --> 00:22:07.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
These people are carrying it
00:22:07.092 --> 00:22:08.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
every single day.
00:22:08.360 --> 00:22:09.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
When I see those precious
00:22:09.494 --> 00:22:10.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
little babies walking,
00:22:10.662 --> 00:22:11.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just want to scoop them up
00:22:11.997 --> 00:22:13.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and say, it's going
00:22:13.198 --> 00:22:14.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to be okay.
00:22:14.399 --> 00:22:15.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's going to get better.
00:22:15.634 --> 00:22:16.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But it's not going
00:22:16.702 --> 00:22:17.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to get better unless
00:22:17.936 --> 00:22:19.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we do something about it.
00:22:19.604 --> 00:22:20.872 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
And by "we," I mean
00:22:20.939 --> 00:22:22.040 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
God's people.
00:22:22.107 --> 00:22:23.341 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
He presents the need.
00:22:23.408 --> 00:22:25.210 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
It's in front of us.
00:22:25.277 --> 00:22:27.312 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Then he presents a solution
00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:28.513 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and says, I need you
00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:29.848 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
to come alongside me.
00:22:29.915 --> 00:22:31.116 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
Together, we can make
00:22:31.183 --> 00:22:32.250 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
a difference in the lives
00:22:32.317 --> 00:22:33.552 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
of so many people
00:22:33.618 --> 00:22:34.686 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
because we come
00:22:34.753 --> 00:22:36.121 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
in the name of Jesus.
00:22:36.188 --> 00:22:38.023 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
We give them water for life
00:22:38.090 --> 00:22:40.625 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
-- the water of life!
00:22:40.692 --> 00:22:42.728 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
I am so privileged.
00:22:42.794 --> 00:22:44.896 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Truly! You must know that.
00:22:44.963 --> 00:22:46.565 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
It's such a privilege for me
00:22:46.631 --> 00:22:48.834 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
all of these years, 16 years
00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:49.935 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
to be traveling
00:22:50.001 --> 00:22:51.236 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
with Life Outreach,
00:22:51.303 --> 00:22:52.471 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
going all over the world,
00:22:52.537 --> 00:22:54.072 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
sharing God's great,
00:22:54.139 --> 00:22:55.674 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
great good news and
00:22:55.741 --> 00:22:58.110 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
sharing the water of life.
00:22:58.176 --> 00:22:59.344 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Just like that village,
00:22:59.411 --> 00:23:01.413 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
John said, it would be
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.981 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
incredible to show up
00:23:03.048 --> 00:23:04.382 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
tomorrow and tell them
00:23:04.449 --> 00:23:05.684 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
we're on our way.
00:23:05.751 --> 00:23:06.785 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
We're on our way,
00:23:06.852 --> 00:23:08.186 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
and we've all made it happen.
00:23:08.253 --> 00:23:09.554 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Blynda, I know that
00:23:09.621 --> 00:23:10.589 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
you haven't been out
00:23:10.655 --> 00:23:11.790 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
in the field yet with me.
00:23:11.857 --> 00:23:13.125 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I hope one day you'll get
00:23:13.191 --> 00:23:14.426 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
to do that and experience it.
00:23:14.493 --> 00:23:15.827 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
I know you're a mom.
00:23:15.894 --> 00:23:18.096 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
I know that it would be hard
00:23:18.163 --> 00:23:19.331 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
for you, probably,
00:23:19.397 --> 00:23:20.465 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
to imagine losing a child
00:23:20.532 --> 00:23:21.600 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
because of the water
00:23:21.666 --> 00:23:22.801 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
they're drinking.
00:23:22.868 --> 00:23:24.169 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
BLYNDA: Watching the video,
00:23:24.236 --> 00:23:25.937 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
it's sobering to think
00:23:26.004 --> 00:23:27.172 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that this is a life and death
00:23:27.239 --> 00:23:28.373 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
decision they're making
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:29.674 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
every day for their children.
00:23:29.741 --> 00:23:30.909 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
That they know they obviously
00:23:30.976 --> 00:23:32.410 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
can't go without water.
00:23:32.477 --> 00:23:34.179 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
But knowing they're giving
00:23:34.246 --> 00:23:35.480 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
water is giving them
00:23:35.547 --> 00:23:37.149 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
risk of death.
00:23:37.215 --> 00:23:38.617 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
I can't imagine being faced
00:23:38.683 --> 00:23:40.385 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
with that every single day.
00:23:40.452 --> 00:23:41.953 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
And yet that is
00:23:42.020 --> 00:23:43.655 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
their reality.
00:23:43.722 --> 00:23:45.690 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
It is a reality to them.
00:23:45.757 --> 00:23:47.159 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
What I absolutely love,
00:23:47.225 --> 00:23:48.660 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
is I know that
00:23:48.727 --> 00:23:50.395 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
the Life Outreach givers
00:23:50.462 --> 00:23:51.830 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
are so generous!
00:23:51.897 --> 00:23:53.298 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
They're so generous!
00:23:53.365 --> 00:23:54.599 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
They've caught the vision
00:23:54.666 --> 00:23:56.701 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and understand that when
00:23:56.768 --> 00:23:58.470 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
they give, they save lives.
00:23:58.537 --> 00:24:00.605 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
That's what's so important!
00:24:00.672 --> 00:24:02.574 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
That when you give, you are
00:24:02.641 --> 00:24:04.776 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
literally saving lives.
00:24:04.843 --> 00:24:06.211 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
I just want to encourage you,
00:24:06.278 --> 00:24:07.779 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
I know that you are
00:24:07.846 --> 00:24:09.548 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
a giving people and
00:24:09.614 --> 00:24:11.349 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
generosity flows out of you.
00:24:11.416 --> 00:24:12.684 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
But if you really understood
00:24:12.751 --> 00:24:14.686 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that when you watch that mom,
00:24:14.753 --> 00:24:15.987 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
you understood that
00:24:16.054 --> 00:24:17.522 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
when you give today,
00:24:17.589 --> 00:24:19.324 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
those children live.
00:24:19.391 --> 00:24:20.392 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
It's just amazing.
00:24:20.458 --> 00:24:21.526 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
TAMMY: It's incredible!
00:24:21.593 --> 00:24:22.627 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
Let me tell you
00:24:22.694 --> 00:24:23.728 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
what the breakdown is.
00:24:23.795 --> 00:24:24.729 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
It's super easy
00:24:24.796 --> 00:24:25.831 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
and anybody can do it.
00:24:25.897 --> 00:24:26.932 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
So let me tell you
00:24:26.998 --> 00:24:28.066 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
what that looks like.
00:24:28.133 --> 00:24:29.134 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
For $48, you can provide
00:24:29.201 --> 00:24:30.335 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
water for ten people.
00:24:30.402 --> 00:24:31.603 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
For $144, you can
00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:33.104 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
provide water for 30 people.
00:24:33.171 --> 00:24:35.707 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
And if you can, $4800 will
00:24:35.774 --> 00:24:36.775 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
go in there and drill
00:24:36.842 --> 00:24:38.243 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
a complete well.
00:24:38.310 --> 00:24:39.711 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Now, this is water that
00:24:39.778 --> 00:24:40.812 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
will be provided for about
00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:42.113 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
a thousand people
00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.448 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
for up to about 70 years
00:24:43.515 --> 00:24:44.616 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
these wells will last.
00:24:44.683 --> 00:24:45.851 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
So basically, for the rest
00:24:45.917 --> 00:24:47.118 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
of their lives, Blynda!
00:24:47.185 --> 00:24:49.087 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
We can go in there.
00:24:49.154 --> 00:24:50.388 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
It's an incredible opportunity
00:24:50.455 --> 00:24:52.357 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
that God has given us today.
00:24:52.424 --> 00:24:53.525 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Won't you jump in?
00:24:53.592 --> 00:24:54.826 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Won't you come alongside us
00:24:54.893 --> 00:24:56.027 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
and do something?
00:24:56.094 --> 00:24:57.629 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Go online. Make a call.
00:24:57.696 --> 00:24:58.630 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Let's do it together
00:24:58.697 --> 00:25:00.966 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and let's do it now.
00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:04.603 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Every day, thousands
of lives are lost
00:25:04.669 --> 00:25:06.671 align:center line:10% position:38% size:55%
to waterborne disease,
00:25:06.738 --> 00:25:08.673 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
and nearly half of those
are children
00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:10.709 align:center line:10% position:50% size:33%
under the age
of five.
00:25:10.775 --> 00:25:12.811 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
