>> If I drop the tennis ball,
what would it do?
00:00:09.042 --> 00:00:11.010 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
Bounce.
It would bounce.
00:00:11.077 --> 00:00:13.646 align:start line:63% position:28% size:45%
That's the picture
of resilience.
00:00:13.713 --> 00:00:16.716 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
It's the way God made us
to be able to
00:00:16.783 --> 00:00:19.052 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
bounce back
from difficulty,
00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:23.256 align:center line:63% position:50% size:73%
but also learn from it for
the next time we face stress.
00:00:23.323 --> 00:00:25.392 align:start line:63% position:20% size:60%
So responding to stress,
I believe,
00:00:25.458 --> 00:00:28.828 align:center line:63% position:50% size:70%
is one of the ways that God
helps build character in us.

Charles Stone has written
00:01:02.162 --> 00:01:06.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a book called, Stress Less.
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I can understand when I hear
00:01:08.902 --> 00:01:11.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what people say, and when
00:01:11.104 --> 00:01:14.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you hear about young people,
00:01:14.174 --> 00:01:16.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
they have a stress problem.
00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:18.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
A serious stress problem.
00:01:18.178 --> 00:01:19.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Charles, it's good
00:01:19.279 --> 00:01:20.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%

Where does brain science

come in here?
00:01:31.925 --> 00:01:33.693 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
CHARLES: Well, my passion
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.061 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
for understanding this
00:01:35.128 --> 00:01:36.229 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
amazing thing called
00:01:36.296 --> 00:01:37.430 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the human brain actually
00:01:37.497 --> 00:01:39.532 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
began in a high chair
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.434 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
some 34 years ago.
00:01:41.501 --> 00:01:42.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Here's what happened.
00:01:42.635 --> 00:01:43.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
In Laurel, Mississippi,
00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:47.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
visiting my wife's parents,
00:01:47.273 --> 00:01:48.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
our youngest daughter,
00:01:48.475 --> 00:01:50.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Tiffany, was in a high chair.
00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I was feeding her
00:01:51.478 --> 00:01:53.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
pureed peaches or whatever.
00:01:53.146 --> 00:01:55.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
When I lifted up the spoon,
00:01:55.181 --> 00:01:56.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I noticed her left eye
00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:57.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was quivering.
00:01:57.817 --> 00:01:58.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And that doesn't sound right.
00:01:58.952 --> 00:01:59.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You know, that's not right.
00:02:00.053 --> 00:02:01.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So we freaked out a bit.
00:02:01.087 --> 00:02:02.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Down the street
00:02:02.222 --> 00:02:03.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
was a pediatrician.
00:02:03.256 --> 00:02:04.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We took her down there.
00:02:04.357 --> 00:02:05.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, "It's probably
00:02:05.458 --> 00:02:06.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
something called
00:02:06.559 --> 00:02:07.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a strabismus, which is
00:02:07.694 --> 00:02:08.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
an eye development problem."
00:02:08.862 --> 00:02:09.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But he said, "When you go
00:02:09.929 --> 00:02:10.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
back to Atlanta,"
00:02:11.064 --> 00:02:12.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
where we were living,
00:02:12.098 --> 00:02:13.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"see a specialist."
00:02:13.266 --> 00:02:14.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Went to the specialist,
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
he says, "Probably
00:02:15.568 --> 00:02:16.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it's strabismus but we'll take
00:02:16.636 --> 00:02:17.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a picture anyway, CAT scan."
00:02:18.004 --> 00:02:19.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Had a CAT scan.
00:02:19.706 --> 00:02:20.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And I kid you not, James,
00:02:20.773 --> 00:02:22.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
at the very moment I opened
00:02:22.408 --> 00:02:23.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the door to our little rental
00:02:23.543 --> 00:02:24.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
house, the phone was ringing.
00:02:25.011 --> 00:02:26.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Went into the kitchen,
00:02:26.112 --> 00:02:27.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
picked it up, and that was
00:02:27.113 --> 00:02:28.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the day's of the corded
00:02:28.181 --> 00:02:29.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
phones, all that.
00:02:29.249 --> 00:02:30.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I said, "Hello?"
00:02:30.517 --> 00:02:31.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
On the other end was
00:02:31.518 --> 00:02:32.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the neurologist.
00:02:32.552 --> 00:02:33.620 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He said, "Mr. Stone,
00:02:33.686 --> 00:02:34.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we know what's wrong
00:02:34.721 --> 00:02:35.755 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
with your daughter."
00:02:35.822 --> 00:02:36.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I said, "What is it?"
00:02:36.890 --> 00:02:38.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"She has a brain tumor."
00:02:38.892 --> 00:02:40.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It was like a punch
00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:42.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in the gut.
00:02:42.128 --> 00:02:43.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Fast forward to today.
00:02:43.863 --> 00:02:45.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
She's really doing well but
00:02:45.932 --> 00:02:47.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the first 20 years, she had
00:02:47.233 --> 00:02:49.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
over ten brain surgeries.
00:02:49.636 --> 00:02:50.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Dr. Ben Carson performed
00:02:50.970 --> 00:02:52.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a couple of those.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.241 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
And, she's a real testimony
00:02:55.308 --> 00:02:56.876 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
to God's grace.
00:02:56.943 --> 00:02:58.378 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
But that stirred my interest
00:02:58.444 --> 00:02:59.579 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
in the human brain.
00:02:59.646 --> 00:03:00.747 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
I've got some education
00:03:00.813 --> 00:03:01.981 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
in that area,
00:03:02.048 --> 00:03:03.049 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
written some books.
00:03:03.116 --> 00:03:04.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So that's kind of
00:03:04.183 --> 00:03:05.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what brought me to this one.
00:03:05.251 --> 00:03:06.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Integrating Scripture,
00:03:06.486 --> 00:03:08.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God's Word with science,
00:03:08.121 --> 00:03:09.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and that's kind of
00:03:09.122 --> 00:03:10.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the genesis of my interest.
00:03:10.323 --> 00:03:11.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
JAMES: And to say that
00:03:11.491 --> 00:03:13.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you and your wife had
00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:14.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to experience stress
00:03:14.827 --> 00:03:16.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through that would be
00:03:16.129 --> 00:03:17.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
an understatement.
00:03:17.230 --> 00:03:18.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
CHARLES: Yes!
00:03:18.331 --> 00:03:19.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Was it stressful? Oh, my!
00:03:19.499 --> 00:03:20.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Let me, I'm going
00:03:20.767 --> 00:03:22.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to hit some of
00:03:22.068 --> 00:03:23.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
these chapters here.
00:03:23.970 --> 00:03:26.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Just listen to the practices
00:03:26.839 --> 00:03:29.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
about dealing with it:
00:03:29.509 --> 00:03:31.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Cease and Breathe,
00:03:31.778 --> 00:03:33.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Reveal How You Feel,
00:03:33.346 --> 00:03:35.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Broaden and Build,
00:03:35.548 --> 00:03:36.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Audit Your Thoughts,
00:03:36.783 --> 00:03:37.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Soak Your Soul,
00:03:37.951 --> 00:03:39.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Cultivate Certainty,
00:03:39.752 --> 00:03:41.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Grow Gratitude.
00:03:41.487 --> 00:03:42.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You know, ungrateful people
00:03:42.789 --> 00:03:44.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
are some of the most
00:03:44.591 --> 00:03:45.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
miserable, stressed-out
00:03:45.925 --> 00:03:46.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
people on the planet.
00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:48.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
CHARLES: That's exactly right.
00:03:48.227 --> 00:03:49.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
JAMES: That really is
00:03:49.362 --> 00:03:50.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
a truth.
00:03:50.496 --> 00:03:51.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Safeguard Safety,
00:03:51.864 --> 00:03:53.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Sleep Smart.
00:03:53.166 --> 00:03:54.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Some people say, I just
00:03:54.334 --> 00:03:55.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
wish I could sleep, period.
00:03:55.635 --> 00:03:56.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And they have to get
00:03:56.736 --> 00:03:57.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so doped up and they can't
00:03:58.004 --> 00:03:59.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
think straight after that.
00:03:59.706 --> 00:04:00.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Final Thoughts.
00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:02.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Okay. Tell our viewers
00:04:02.642 --> 00:04:04.644 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
what you want them to hear,
00:04:04.711 --> 00:04:06.045 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
that you want to take them
00:04:06.112 --> 00:04:07.580 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
in depth through the book
00:04:07.647 --> 00:04:08.748 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and through everything
00:04:08.815 --> 00:04:09.849 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
you've shared.
00:04:09.916 --> 00:04:10.917 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
It's big because
00:04:10.984 --> 00:04:12.318 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
you experienced it.
00:04:12.385 --> 00:04:13.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And now you see it,
00:04:13.953 --> 00:04:15.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and you're caught up in it.
00:04:15.989 --> 00:04:17.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I sense that you're excited
00:04:17.323 --> 00:04:18.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about what you're learning
00:04:18.524 --> 00:04:19.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and sharing.
00:04:19.692 --> 00:04:20.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
CHARLES: I really am.
00:04:21.027 --> 00:04:22.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I think about when I was
00:04:22.095 --> 00:04:23.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in elementary school.
00:04:23.196 --> 00:04:24.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Remember show and tell
00:04:24.263 --> 00:04:25.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
when you bring something?
00:04:25.331 --> 00:04:26.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I have a couple of
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
show-and-tell items that
00:04:27.433 --> 00:04:29.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
really kind of explain it.
00:04:29.202 --> 00:04:30.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I've got a coin here.
00:04:30.503 --> 00:04:31.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It's a fake penny.
00:04:32.038 --> 00:04:33.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You know, they're going
00:04:33.206 --> 00:04:34.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to quit making pennies,
00:04:34.207 --> 00:04:35.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I understand.
00:04:35.441 --> 00:04:36.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Stress, James and Betty,
00:04:36.676 --> 00:04:38.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is like a two-sided coin.
00:04:38.511 --> 00:04:39.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
One side is that thing
00:04:39.979 --> 00:04:41.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
out there that's causing
00:04:41.748 --> 00:04:43.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
stress or even in our minds.
00:04:43.449 --> 00:04:44.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
On the other side of the coin
00:04:44.751 --> 00:04:47.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is how we respond to stress.
00:04:47.887 --> 00:04:49.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Now, there's another little
00:04:49.322 --> 00:04:50.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
idea important to understand
00:04:50.657 --> 00:04:51.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what's really happening
00:04:51.858 --> 00:04:52.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the book.
00:04:53.026 --> 00:04:54.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
There are two flavors.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.361 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Now, I couldn't bring
00:04:55.428 --> 00:04:56.529 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
any ice cream,
00:04:56.596 --> 00:04:57.730 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
but I like ice cream,
00:04:57.797 --> 00:04:58.965 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
but I didn't bring
00:04:59.032 --> 00:05:00.166 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
any ice cream.
00:05:00.233 --> 00:05:01.434 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
There's acute stress
00:05:01.501 --> 00:05:02.535 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and there's chronic stress.
00:05:02.602 --> 00:05:03.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Now, to be honest with you,
00:05:03.670 --> 00:05:04.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I felt a little bit of acute
00:05:04.837 --> 00:05:05.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
stress walking in the studio.
00:05:06.039 --> 00:05:07.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You know, like, oh man,
00:05:07.273 --> 00:05:08.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this is really like.
00:05:08.474 --> 00:05:09.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But you know what?
00:05:09.676 --> 00:05:10.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That's good because
00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:12.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it helps us focus.
00:05:12.145 --> 00:05:13.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It helps us pay attention.
00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:14.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
My stress level will go down.
00:05:14.714 --> 00:05:15.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's going down right now
00:05:15.782 --> 00:05:16.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
because you guys just make it
00:05:16.883 --> 00:05:17.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
very, very easy
00:05:17.950 --> 00:05:19.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and natural to talk.
00:05:19.285 --> 00:05:21.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Chronic stress,
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that's what does the bad work.
00:05:22.955 --> 00:05:24.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
When we have some stressful
00:05:24.090 --> 00:05:25.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
experience that we're
00:05:25.158 --> 00:05:26.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
responding in an unhealthy way
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
over days, weeks and months,
00:05:28.161 --> 00:05:29.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that's when it does,
00:05:29.996 --> 00:05:31.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
it's bad stuff.
00:05:31.664 --> 00:05:33.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Now, the response to stress
00:05:33.933 --> 00:05:34.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
is something
00:05:34.967 --> 00:05:36.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
called resilience.
00:05:36.235 --> 00:05:37.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Let me describe it this way.
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:38.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Let's say this table
00:05:38.905 --> 00:05:40.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
actually had a glass top,
00:05:40.807 --> 00:05:42.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and it had it right out here.
00:05:43.042 --> 00:05:44.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I brought a couple
00:05:44.377 --> 00:05:45.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
more show-and-tell items.
00:05:45.978 --> 00:05:49.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
This is a heavy metal ball.
00:05:49.382 --> 00:05:51.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Now, glass tables here.
00:05:51.284 --> 00:05:52.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What would happen if I drop
00:05:52.952 --> 00:05:54.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
this heavy metal ball
00:05:54.921 --> 00:05:56.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on the glass?
00:05:56.189 --> 00:05:57.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It would shatter.
00:05:57.924 --> 00:05:59.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Okay, keep that in mind.
00:05:59.225 --> 00:06:02.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Also, I have an egg.
00:06:02.095 --> 00:06:03.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I held the egg up and drop
00:06:03.096 --> 00:06:04.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the egg, what would
00:06:04.530 --> 00:06:05.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it do when it hit?
00:06:05.798 --> 00:06:06.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JAMES: It would likely break.
00:06:07.033 --> 00:06:08.101 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
CHARLES: It would break.
00:06:08.167 --> 00:06:09.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Some people respond to stress
00:06:09.469 --> 00:06:10.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in such a way they have
00:06:10.737 --> 00:06:12.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
no resilience.
00:06:12.805 --> 00:06:14.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So when they face stress,
00:06:14.507 --> 00:06:15.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
they break stuff.
00:06:16.042 --> 00:06:17.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Other people have
00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:19.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
no resilience
00:06:19.846 --> 00:06:22.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and they break up.
00:06:22.215 --> 00:06:23.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We've got one more here,
00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:25.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
a tennis ball.
00:06:25.284 --> 00:06:26.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
If I dropped the tennis ball,
00:06:26.586 --> 00:06:27.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what would it do?
00:06:27.787 --> 00:06:29.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
It would bounce.
00:06:29.188 --> 00:06:30.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
That's the picture
00:06:30.423 --> 00:06:31.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of resilience.
00:06:32.024 --> 00:06:33.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's the way God made us
00:06:33.526 --> 00:06:34.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to be able to bounce back
00:06:35.027 --> 00:06:36.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
from difficulty,
00:06:36.195 --> 00:06:37.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but also learn from it
00:06:37.530 --> 00:06:39.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for the next time
00:06:39.365 --> 00:06:41.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
we face stress.
00:06:41.367 --> 00:06:42.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So that's just the essence.
00:06:42.835 --> 00:06:44.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And resilience is
00:06:44.170 --> 00:06:45.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
really character.
00:06:45.938 --> 00:06:47.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Romans 5:3, 4 says, "We also
00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:48.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
rejoice in our suffering
00:06:48.508 --> 00:06:49.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
because we know
00:06:49.742 --> 00:06:50.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that suffering
00:06:50.877 --> 00:06:52.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
produces perseverance,
00:06:52.178 --> 00:06:53.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
perseverance character,
00:06:53.479 --> 00:06:54.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and character hope.
00:06:54.947 --> 00:06:56.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So responding to stress,
00:06:56.315 --> 00:06:57.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I believe, is one of the ways
00:06:57.450 --> 00:06:58.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that God helps build
00:06:58.684 --> 00:07:00.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
character in us.
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:01.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
So yeah, that's
00:07:01.754 --> 00:07:02.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the genesis of it.
00:07:02.855 --> 00:07:04.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And that's kind of the meat
00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:05.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of what people would want
00:07:05.892 --> 00:07:06.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to take away with it.
00:07:07.059 --> 00:07:08.594 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
JAMES: When you get stressed
00:07:08.661 --> 00:07:09.796 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and you say we should
00:07:09.862 --> 00:07:11.230 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
respond properly,
00:07:11.297 --> 00:07:12.498 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
what do you see as
00:07:12.565 --> 00:07:16.102 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
the initial action or reaction
00:07:16.169 --> 00:07:17.637 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
or response that should
00:07:17.703 --> 00:07:19.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
come when stressed?
00:07:19.872 --> 00:07:21.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
What initiates
00:07:21.607 --> 00:07:22.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the positive progress?
00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:24.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
CHARLES: Well, I covered
00:07:24.477 --> 00:07:26.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
nine of these principles that
00:07:26.345 --> 00:07:27.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
are grounded in Scripture.
00:07:27.647 --> 00:07:28.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JAMES: Where I read them off.
00:07:28.714 --> 00:07:29.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
CHARLES: You read them off.
00:07:29.816 --> 00:07:31.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
It's supported by God's Word.
00:07:31.918 --> 00:07:33.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And probably the first one
00:07:33.619 --> 00:07:35.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
is one of the most important.
00:07:35.321 --> 00:07:37.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I call it Cease and Breathe.
00:07:37.890 --> 00:07:39.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Now let's just say
00:07:39.492 --> 00:07:40.793 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we find ourselves
00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:41.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in a stressful situation.
00:07:42.028 --> 00:07:43.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Our stress is really
00:07:43.963 --> 00:07:45.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
amping up.
00:07:45.264 --> 00:07:47.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The cease part means
00:07:47.266 --> 00:07:49.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to literally stop.
00:07:49.969 --> 00:07:51.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We don't do that sometimes.
00:07:51.337 --> 00:07:52.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We're just so busy.
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Just to stop, pull away,
00:07:55.241 --> 00:07:56.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
get into a quiet place.
00:07:56.542 --> 00:07:57.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
If you're in an argument
00:07:58.010 --> 00:07:59.345 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
with someone, pull away.
00:07:59.412 --> 00:08:00.379 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Pull off to the side
00:08:00.446 --> 00:08:01.881 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
of the road, stop.
00:08:01.948 --> 00:08:03.149 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
That's the cease.
00:08:03.216 --> 00:08:04.784 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
The breathe part is,
00:08:04.851 --> 00:08:06.719 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
all throughout Scripture
00:08:06.786 --> 00:08:08.054 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
we see breath and breathing.
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God breathed into Adam,
00:08:09.222 --> 00:08:10.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
he became a living being.
00:08:10.289 --> 00:08:11.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Jesus breathed on those
00:08:11.357 --> 00:08:12.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
early disciples,
00:08:12.625 --> 00:08:13.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the Holy Spirit came.
00:08:13.893 --> 00:08:14.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
So it's all
00:08:14.961 --> 00:08:16.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
throughout Scripture.
00:08:16.162 --> 00:08:17.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Here is a very interesting
00:08:17.363 --> 00:08:18.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
insight about the brain.
00:08:18.998 --> 00:08:21.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
When we breathe deeply,
00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:23.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
especially on the exhale,
00:08:23.135 --> 00:08:25.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it lowers the stress response.
00:08:25.204 --> 00:08:26.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Yes. And here's a little
00:08:26.505 --> 00:08:28.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what I call a sniff breath.
00:08:28.207 --> 00:08:29.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It's like this.
00:08:29.609 --> 00:08:30.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You're in a stressful
00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:33.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
situation, you pulled away.
00:08:33.546 --> 00:08:34.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
A big deep breath,
00:08:34.847 --> 00:08:36.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and then an extra breath.
00:08:36.883 --> 00:08:38.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Hold it a couple of seconds
00:08:38.751 --> 00:08:40.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and breathe out.
00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:41.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And let the exhale
00:08:41.921 --> 00:08:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
be a little longer
00:08:43.456 --> 00:08:44.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
than the inhale.
00:08:45.024 --> 00:08:46.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That is a very easy practice
00:08:47.026 --> 00:08:48.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
anybody can take.
00:08:48.261 --> 00:08:49.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
BETTY: I do that
00:08:49.462 --> 00:08:50.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
nearly every day.
00:08:50.963 --> 00:08:52.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I do take the breath,
00:08:52.765 --> 00:08:54.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
hold it for a little bit,
00:08:54.734 --> 00:08:55.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and then whoo.
00:08:55.935 --> 00:08:56.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It really does make
00:08:57.003 --> 00:08:58.204 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
a difference.
00:08:58.271 --> 00:08:59.405 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
CHARLES: Yes, it does, Betty.
00:08:59.472 --> 00:09:00.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
JAMES: That's what
00:09:00.673 --> 00:09:01.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was about to say.
00:09:01.841 --> 00:09:02.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
People don't realize
00:09:03.009 --> 00:09:04.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that's an important aspect
00:09:04.176 --> 00:09:05.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to everything that you want
00:09:05.311 --> 00:09:06.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to do to make progress
00:09:06.512 --> 00:09:07.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
physically, even in strength,
00:09:07.947 --> 00:09:09.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
even in working out,
00:09:09.782 --> 00:09:10.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
gaining balance.
00:09:10.917 --> 00:09:12.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Everything that you need,
00:09:12.752 --> 00:09:13.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a deeper breath,
00:09:14.020 --> 00:09:15.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a deeper breath.
00:09:15.288 --> 00:09:16.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Hold it, and let it --
00:09:16.656 --> 00:09:17.857 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it's almost like breathe in
00:09:17.924 --> 00:09:19.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the fullness of God.
00:09:19.191 --> 00:09:20.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Don't just glimpse at God.
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But really soak in it.
00:09:23.296 --> 00:09:24.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Breathe in.
00:09:24.764 --> 00:09:26.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It makes a difference.
00:09:26.232 --> 00:09:27.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
BETTY: It really does.
00:09:27.366 --> 00:09:28.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
What about guarding
00:09:28.501 --> 00:09:29.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
your thoughts?
00:09:29.735 --> 00:09:31.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I think that's very important.
00:09:31.170 --> 00:09:32.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
CHARLES: That is so important.
00:09:32.838 --> 00:09:33.906 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Paul talks about it
00:09:33.973 --> 00:09:35.107 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
quite a bit.
00:09:35.174 --> 00:09:36.275 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Philippians 4:8 says,
00:09:36.342 --> 00:09:37.443 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
"Finally, brothers, whatever
00:09:37.510 --> 00:09:38.611 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
is true, noble, right, pure,
00:09:38.678 --> 00:09:39.912 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
lovely, admirable,
00:09:39.979 --> 00:09:41.047 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
if anything is excellent
00:09:41.113 --> 00:09:42.181 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
or praiseworthy,
00:09:42.248 --> 00:09:43.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
think about those things."
00:09:43.382 --> 00:09:44.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Now, I want to share a word
00:09:44.884 --> 00:09:46.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with you that can seem
00:09:46.152 --> 00:09:47.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to be like a big word
00:09:47.353 --> 00:09:48.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
for people not kind of versed
00:09:49.021 --> 00:09:50.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in neuroscience, but
00:09:50.122 --> 00:09:51.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it's a good word.
00:09:51.290 --> 00:09:53.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's called metacognition.
00:09:53.826 --> 00:09:56.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Metacognition simply means
00:09:57.063 --> 00:09:59.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
think about your thinking.
00:09:59.098 --> 00:10:00.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It means to build into
00:10:00.499 --> 00:10:01.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
your life those times during
00:10:01.901 --> 00:10:03.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the day when you stop
00:10:03.102 --> 00:10:04.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and you ask yourself,
00:10:04.437 --> 00:10:05.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
now, Charles, what are
00:10:05.671 --> 00:10:06.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
you thinking about?
00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:08.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Who's sponsoring
00:10:08.107 --> 00:10:09.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
those thoughts?
00:10:09.175 --> 00:10:10.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Is the evil one sponsoring
00:10:10.209 --> 00:10:11.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
those thoughts?
00:10:11.377 --> 00:10:12.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Is my worry sponsoring
00:10:12.545 --> 00:10:13.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
those thoughts?
00:10:13.713 --> 00:10:14.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Or is God's Word and
00:10:14.847 --> 00:10:15.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
His spirit sponsoring
00:10:15.915 --> 00:10:17.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
those thoughts,
00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:18.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
informing those thoughts?
00:10:19.018 --> 00:10:20.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And here's a simple
00:10:20.086 --> 00:10:21.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
little practice I use.
00:10:21.487 --> 00:10:22.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I don't know if you guys
00:10:22.588 --> 00:10:23.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
do this, but I talk
00:10:23.723 --> 00:10:26.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to myself sometimes.
00:10:26.192 --> 00:10:27.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Not in a public
00:10:27.393 --> 00:10:28.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but in private.
00:10:28.461 --> 00:10:29.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
There's something good
00:10:29.528 --> 00:10:30.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
about that.
00:10:30.596 --> 00:10:31.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
My next door neighbor's name
00:10:31.964 --> 00:10:32.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
is Kevin.
00:10:33.032 --> 00:10:34.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Let's say he just did
00:10:34.367 --> 00:10:35.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
something that made me
00:10:35.434 --> 00:10:36.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
really mad.
00:10:36.502 --> 00:10:37.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He's a great guy,
00:10:37.570 --> 00:10:38.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
he wouldn't do it.
00:10:38.671 --> 00:10:39.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
This is the wrong way
00:10:39.772 --> 00:10:40.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to deal with that stress.
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I am so mad at him.
00:10:42.108 --> 00:10:43.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I just eww! No.
00:10:44.043 --> 00:10:45.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The best way to deal with it
00:10:45.678 --> 00:10:46.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is to have a conversation
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
with yourself.
00:10:47.947 --> 00:10:48.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Kind of separate from it
00:10:49.015 --> 00:10:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and say, okay, Charles.
00:10:50.216 --> 00:10:51.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Like I'm talking to Charles,
00:10:51.650 --> 00:10:53.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I see you are really angry
00:10:53.285 --> 00:10:54.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
at Kevin.
00:10:54.854 --> 00:10:55.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Let's think about
00:10:56.055 --> 00:10:57.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what's the best way
00:10:57.890 --> 00:10:58.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to respond to this.
00:10:58.924 --> 00:11:00.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So it's creating a little bit
00:11:00.626 --> 00:11:02.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of that separation.
00:11:02.328 --> 00:11:05.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
But we have to check in often,
00:11:05.431 --> 00:11:06.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and build a discipline.
00:11:06.766 --> 00:11:08.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
What's going on up here?
00:11:08.167 --> 00:11:11.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Paul perfectly described
00:11:11.904 --> 00:11:13.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the importance of
00:11:13.472 --> 00:11:14.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
checking in up here.
00:11:14.874 --> 00:11:16.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
JAMES: How did he describe it?
00:11:16.976 --> 00:11:18.144 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
CHARLES: Well,
00:11:18.210 --> 00:11:19.378 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Philippians 4:8.
00:11:19.445 --> 00:11:21.280 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
All throughout the epistles,
00:11:21.347 --> 00:11:22.715 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
he talks about the mind
00:11:22.782 --> 00:11:23.783 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
quite a bit.
00:11:23.849 --> 00:11:24.884 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
In fact, "the mind"
00:11:24.950 --> 00:11:25.951 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
is in Scripture
00:11:26.018 --> 00:11:27.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
some 200 plus times.
00:11:27.119 --> 00:11:28.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
The mind is so important.
00:11:28.521 --> 00:11:29.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It's what's so important.
00:11:30.022 --> 00:11:31.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
There's something
00:11:31.190 --> 00:11:32.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
called neuroplasticity.
00:11:32.591 --> 00:11:34.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It's actually how the brain
00:11:34.393 --> 00:11:35.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
reconfigures with
00:11:35.694 --> 00:11:36.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
all these brain cells
00:11:36.962 --> 00:11:38.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and brain circuits.
00:11:38.230 --> 00:11:39.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And one of the ways
00:11:39.398 --> 00:11:40.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we do that, Paul,
00:11:40.699 --> 00:11:42.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is an example of this,
00:11:42.134 --> 00:11:43.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is filtering God's Word
00:11:43.469 --> 00:11:45.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
into our minds; reading it
00:11:45.971 --> 00:11:47.706 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and meditating on it.
00:11:47.773 --> 00:11:49.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
What actually happens
00:11:49.442 --> 00:11:50.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is there's a physiological
00:11:50.843 --> 00:11:52.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
change that happens.
00:11:52.344 --> 00:11:53.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
These thoughts,
00:11:53.412 --> 00:11:54.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
this worldview,
00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:56.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
biblical worldview
00:11:56.182 --> 00:11:58.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
becomes who we really are.
00:11:58.317 --> 00:11:59.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And Paul was the perfect
00:11:59.885 --> 00:12:00.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
example of that.
00:12:01.020 --> 00:12:02.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JAMES: And then set your mind
00:12:02.321 --> 00:12:03.923 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
on things above.
00:12:03.989 --> 00:12:05.257 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You can set your mind
00:12:05.324 --> 00:12:07.126 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
on God's Word and His truth.
00:12:07.193 --> 00:12:09.462 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
It has transforming power.
00:12:09.528 --> 00:12:10.930 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Okay, talk to us
00:12:10.996 --> 00:12:12.298 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
about stress.
00:12:12.364 --> 00:12:13.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
What do you think is
00:12:13.466 --> 00:12:14.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the greatest possible stress
00:12:14.767 --> 00:12:16.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
causer, typically,
00:12:16.569 --> 00:12:17.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in America?
00:12:17.970 --> 00:12:19.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
CHARLES: Wow!
00:12:19.572 --> 00:12:22.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Today, our world
00:12:22.308 --> 00:12:25.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is just so topsy-turvy.
00:12:25.478 --> 00:12:26.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I think one of the biggest
00:12:26.712 --> 00:12:27.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
stressors, to be honest
00:12:27.913 --> 00:12:29.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with you, is social media.
00:12:29.682 --> 00:12:33.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Now, I like social media
00:12:33.252 --> 00:12:34.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because I like funny
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
cat videos and dog videos.
00:12:36.522 --> 00:12:37.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
That's what I use
00:12:37.756 --> 00:12:38.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
social media for.
00:12:38.791 --> 00:12:39.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I want to laugh.
00:12:39.859 --> 00:12:40.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
JAMES: I love the animals!
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
CHARLES: Yes!
00:12:42.128 --> 00:12:43.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
But unfortunately,
00:12:43.262 --> 00:12:44.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and especially among
00:12:44.330 --> 00:12:45.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the younger generation,
00:12:45.364 --> 00:12:46.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
social media,
00:12:46.465 --> 00:12:47.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
there's so much comparison.
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Like you don't put on
00:12:49.001 --> 00:12:50.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
social media what's
00:12:50.269 --> 00:12:51.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
going wrong with your life.
00:12:51.637 --> 00:12:52.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
You put that
00:12:52.771 --> 00:12:53.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
best foot forward.
00:12:53.839 --> 00:12:54.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
A lot of young people,
00:12:54.974 --> 00:12:56.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
students, they see this
00:12:56.275 --> 00:12:58.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
perfect girl, a perfect guy,
00:12:58.544 --> 00:13:00.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
or their experiences and
00:13:00.579 --> 00:13:02.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they don't measure up,
00:13:02.248 --> 00:13:03.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and so that creates
00:13:03.415 --> 00:13:04.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a great amount of stress.
00:13:04.650 --> 00:13:06.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Covid, all the experts
00:13:06.185 --> 00:13:07.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
are saying there is that
00:13:07.186 --> 00:13:08.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
lost generation, almost.
00:13:09.054 --> 00:13:10.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Covid really left
00:13:10.489 --> 00:13:11.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a very profound negative
00:13:11.957 --> 00:13:13.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
experience upon our kids.
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:14.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And we're seeing now
00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:17.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
stress levels and anxiety and
00:13:17.296 --> 00:13:19.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
depression are skyrocketing
00:13:19.165 --> 00:13:20.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
among young people.
00:13:20.666 --> 00:13:21.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So I think in our world today,
00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:23.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that's one thing.
00:13:23.102 --> 00:13:24.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And then one of the things
00:13:24.303 --> 00:13:25.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I do have a problem with
00:13:25.437 --> 00:13:26.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is I spend too much time
00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:27.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
on the news,
00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:29.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and just negative –-
00:13:30.042 --> 00:13:31.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: And it runs 24 hours
00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:32.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
a day.
00:13:32.311 --> 00:13:33.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You can get it in
00:13:33.412 --> 00:13:34.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so many different sources.
00:13:34.613 --> 00:13:35.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And you need to understand
00:13:36.015 --> 00:13:38.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the deceiver is crafty
00:13:38.117 --> 00:13:40.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and he's cunning.
00:13:40.119 --> 00:13:42.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He will use every scheme
00:13:42.321 --> 00:13:44.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
possible to deceive us and
00:13:44.757 --> 00:13:46.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to misdirect our thoughts.
00:13:46.892 --> 00:13:48.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That's why it is so terribly
00:13:48.994 --> 00:13:50.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
important that we understand
00:13:50.863 --> 00:13:52.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the power and the importance
00:13:52.264 --> 00:13:54.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of God's word,
00:13:54.233 --> 00:13:55.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and what God says.
00:13:55.868 --> 00:13:57.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Because what he says when
00:13:57.436 --> 00:13:59.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we hear it and we heed it,
00:13:59.939 --> 00:14:01.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
it begins to change
00:14:01.207 --> 00:14:02.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the way we think.
00:14:02.441 --> 00:14:03.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It begins to change
00:14:03.642 --> 00:14:04.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the thought process.
00:14:04.810 --> 00:14:06.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And it will give us peace
00:14:06.412 --> 00:14:07.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
rather than stress
00:14:07.479 --> 00:14:08.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and anxiety,
00:14:08.747 --> 00:14:10.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I experience that.
00:14:10.182 --> 00:14:11.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You know, when you were
00:14:11.317 --> 00:14:12.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
talking about the stressful
00:14:12.585 --> 00:14:13.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
things that happen to people,
00:14:13.852 --> 00:14:14.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I'm thinking about
00:14:14.954 --> 00:14:15.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
how they happen.
00:14:16.055 --> 00:14:17.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm thinking about how
00:14:17.122 --> 00:14:18.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
simple it is for me
00:14:18.190 --> 00:14:19.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to deal with it, because
00:14:19.291 --> 00:14:20.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I immediately talk to God.
00:14:20.526 --> 00:14:21.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I immediately go to what
00:14:21.827 --> 00:14:23.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
he has said, what he says,
00:14:23.495 --> 00:14:24.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what his word says.
00:14:24.630 --> 00:14:25.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And there's a peace
00:14:25.731 --> 00:14:26.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that comes in the
00:14:26.865 --> 00:14:27.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Word of God immediately.
00:14:27.967 --> 00:14:29.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That has to be a big part
00:14:29.368 --> 00:14:30.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of what you teach.
00:14:30.603 --> 00:14:31.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
CHARLES: Yeah, yeah.
00:14:31.770 --> 00:14:32.938 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
And one of the keys is
00:14:33.005 --> 00:14:35.507 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
remembering to do that.
00:14:35.574 --> 00:14:37.776 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Scripture says, "Cast all
00:14:37.843 --> 00:14:39.211 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
your anxiety on him
00:14:39.278 --> 00:14:41.280 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
because he cares for you."
00:14:41.347 --> 00:14:42.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
What often happens is
00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:44.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we get caught up
00:14:44.516 --> 00:14:45.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in this negative thinking
00:14:45.751 --> 00:14:46.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
like this --
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
some issue that's the size
00:14:48.153 --> 00:14:49.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
of a pea.
00:14:49.955 --> 00:14:52.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Something causes stress.
00:14:52.091 --> 00:14:53.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Well, instead of immediately,
00:14:53.425 --> 00:14:54.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Lord, I need your wisdom
00:14:54.760 --> 00:14:55.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to deal with this.
00:14:55.828 --> 00:14:56.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
What does scripture
00:14:56.862 --> 00:14:57.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
have to say?
00:14:57.997 --> 00:14:58.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We begin ruminating
00:14:58.998 --> 00:15:00.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and worrying.
00:15:00.132 --> 00:15:01.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And we wrap narrative
00:15:01.267 --> 00:15:02.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and more thoughts around that.
00:15:02.468 --> 00:15:03.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So what was the size
00:15:03.602 --> 00:15:04.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of a pea, now is the size
00:15:04.703 --> 00:15:05.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of a basketball, and now
00:15:05.938 --> 00:15:07.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that's become the issue.
00:15:07.373 --> 00:15:08.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
The key is to develop
00:15:09.041 --> 00:15:10.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the discipline to not believe
00:15:10.442 --> 00:15:11.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
everything you read
00:15:11.543 --> 00:15:13.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
on social media.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
To not believe every thought
00:15:15.114 --> 00:15:16.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that pops into your mind, but
00:15:16.348 --> 00:15:17.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to build into your routine
00:15:17.650 --> 00:15:18.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
every hour
00:15:18.951 --> 00:15:20.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
on your smartphone.
00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:21.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Have it beep at you,
00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:23.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Okay, check in.
00:15:23.555 --> 00:15:24.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Are these thoughts honoring
00:15:24.857 --> 00:15:25.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God, or do I need
00:15:26.025 --> 00:15:27.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to change channels?
00:15:27.626 --> 00:15:28.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: Let me just ask you,
00:15:28.661 --> 00:15:30.396 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
because it seems to me
00:15:30.462 --> 00:15:31.897 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
that you communicate
00:15:31.964 --> 00:15:33.332 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
with a comfort level,
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.200 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
a peace level,
00:15:35.267 --> 00:15:36.835 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and no one can question
00:15:36.902 --> 00:15:38.070 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
that you had reason
00:15:38.137 --> 00:15:39.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to stress with what happened
00:15:39.371 --> 00:15:40.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to your daughter.
00:15:40.739 --> 00:15:41.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
That would load up
00:15:41.907 --> 00:15:42.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
every loving parent with
00:15:43.042 --> 00:15:44.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
an indescribable load
00:15:44.310 --> 00:15:45.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
of stress.
00:15:45.311 --> 00:15:46.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Well, since you've gone
00:15:46.545 --> 00:15:47.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through it and you've
00:15:47.746 --> 00:15:49.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
studied it, are you amazed
00:15:49.081 --> 00:15:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
right now when
00:15:50.215 --> 00:15:51.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you get somebody's attention
00:15:51.784 --> 00:15:53.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and you begin to point them
00:15:53.352 --> 00:15:55.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to transforming truth
00:15:55.354 --> 00:15:57.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and to the way of peace,
00:15:57.323 --> 00:15:59.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the Prince of Peace?
00:15:59.358 --> 00:16:00.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Are you actually finding
00:16:00.626 --> 00:16:02.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
yourself becoming amazed
00:16:02.461 --> 00:16:04.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
at how quickly the spirit
00:16:04.630 --> 00:16:06.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and the truth of God,
00:16:06.265 --> 00:16:07.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the transforming truth,
00:16:07.900 --> 00:16:09.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the peace of God
00:16:09.435 --> 00:16:11.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
can begin to relieve stress?
00:16:11.837 --> 00:16:13.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
CHARLES: Absolutely.
00:16:13.238 --> 00:16:14.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I think part of it, James,
00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:19.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
is just wisdom of many years.
00:16:19.111 --> 00:16:20.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I've done some dumb things
00:16:20.612 --> 00:16:22.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my life.
00:16:22.081 --> 00:16:23.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I've stumbled.
00:16:23.716 --> 00:16:25.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I've been harsh,
00:16:25.651 --> 00:16:27.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
made mistakes in ministry.
00:16:27.753 --> 00:16:29.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
None that disqualified me,
00:16:29.855 --> 00:16:33.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but as you grow and mature,
00:16:33.525 --> 00:16:35.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and hopefully, become wiser,
00:16:35.994 --> 00:16:37.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you recognize and
00:16:37.596 --> 00:16:39.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you're quicker to going
00:16:39.932 --> 00:16:41.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to the Prince of Peace.
00:16:41.467 --> 00:16:44.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Instead of your own ways
00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of dealing with it, you go
00:16:46.438 --> 00:16:47.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to the Prince of Peace.
00:16:47.573 --> 00:16:49.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I think that's part of --
00:16:49.441 --> 00:16:51.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I appreciate so much
00:16:51.210 --> 00:16:52.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
your ministry.
00:16:52.478 --> 00:16:55.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I mean, you aren't stopping.
00:16:55.381 --> 00:16:57.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
You aren't quitting.
00:16:57.149 --> 00:16:58.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
You have these decades
00:16:58.484 --> 00:16:59.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and decades of
00:16:59.685 --> 00:17:01.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
fruitful ministry.
00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:02.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I believe that maybe
00:17:02.921 --> 00:17:04.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
these are going to be
00:17:04.189 --> 00:17:05.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
your most fruitful years.
00:17:05.924 --> 00:17:07.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JAMES: They already are
00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
becoming.
00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:09.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And Betty and I are
00:17:09.828 --> 00:17:11.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in our 80s, and we plan
00:17:11.397 --> 00:17:12.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to live a long time.
00:17:12.965 --> 00:17:14.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
We already have.
00:17:14.366 --> 00:17:16.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Well, I'm full of life
00:17:16.268 --> 00:17:17.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and we flow life.
00:17:17.503 --> 00:17:19.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I hope you'll get this book,
00:17:19.671 --> 00:17:21.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Stress Less.
00:17:21.173 --> 00:17:22.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I really think Charles
00:17:22.441 --> 00:17:23.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
will help you.
00:17:23.575 --> 00:17:24.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Charles, you know what I have
00:17:24.843 --> 00:17:26.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
found gives people
00:17:26.145 --> 00:17:27.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
tremendous peace?
00:17:27.479 --> 00:17:29.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That is to focus on a need
00:17:29.715 --> 00:17:33.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in others that love can meet.
00:17:33.952 --> 00:17:35.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That's what happened when
00:17:35.187 --> 00:17:36.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God sent Betty and me
00:17:37.022 --> 00:17:38.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to the Third World.
00:17:38.757 --> 00:17:39.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It wasn't somewhere
00:17:39.825 --> 00:17:40.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Betty wanted to go.
00:17:40.926 --> 00:17:41.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We were going into
00:17:41.994 --> 00:17:43.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
war-torn countries.
00:17:43.328 --> 00:17:45.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And I went with total peace.
00:17:45.464 --> 00:17:47.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
She didn't necessarily,
00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:48.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but she had trust in me and
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in God to trust me to lead.
00:17:52.738 --> 00:17:55.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We began to put our arms
00:17:55.874 --> 00:17:57.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
around the least of these
00:17:57.943 --> 00:17:59.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and the people that
00:17:59.111 --> 00:18:00.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
feel unnoticed.
00:18:00.679 --> 00:18:02.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
One of the things we did
00:18:02.848 --> 00:18:05.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
was give shoes and smiles
00:18:05.384 --> 00:18:06.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to children that never had
00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:09.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
shoes, and to children that
00:18:09.455 --> 00:18:12.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
had terrible cleft palate.
00:18:12.324 --> 00:18:14.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I want you to watch
00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:16.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and listen.
00:18:16.295 --> 00:18:17.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And just see if you don't
00:18:17.596 --> 00:18:19.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
think you would find joy
00:18:19.598 --> 00:18:22.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and peace putting God's arms
00:18:22.534 --> 00:18:23.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
around these who seem
00:18:23.869 --> 00:18:25.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
helpless and hopeless,
00:18:25.871 --> 00:18:27.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but they're not because
00:18:27.072 --> 00:18:29.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the love that flows
00:18:29.374 --> 00:18:30.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
through us never fails.
00:18:30.742 --> 00:18:32.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Watch!
00:18:43.789 --> 00:18:45.958 align:start line:58% position:15% size:70%
JOHN: Well, it's a great day
here in South Sudan
00:18:46.024 --> 00:18:48.160 align:center line:58% position:50% size:60%
as we come and we get
to bring Christmas shoes
00:18:48.227 --> 00:18:51.263 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
to these precious children
who have no shoes.
00:18:51.330 --> 00:18:53.398 align:start line:79% position:33% size:33%
As you know,
for years now
00:18:53.465 --> 00:18:55.934 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
we've been giving hundreds
of thousands of pairs away,
00:18:56.001 --> 00:18:58.103 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
but there's still
a great need,
00:18:58.170 --> 00:19:00.172 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
and we want to be
a part of just sharing
00:19:00.239 --> 00:19:03.475 align:center line:79% position:50% size:75%
a little bit of joy and
a little bit of Christmas love
00:19:03.542 --> 00:19:05.711 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
with children
around the world.
00:19:05.777 --> 00:19:08.113 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
It's going to change
the way they walk.
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:10.949 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
It's going to help with
infections on their feet.
00:19:11.016 --> 00:19:13.585 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
We've seen so many children
as we've come through,
00:19:13.652 --> 00:19:16.188 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
their feet are infected,
their toes are infected.
00:19:16.255 --> 00:19:18.690 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
They've got cuts
on their ankles.
00:19:18.757 --> 00:19:22.895 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
So we need your help.
It takes just a small amount.
00:19:22.961 --> 00:19:26.765 align:center line:74% position:50% size:63%
We'll put a pair of shoes
on each one of these
kids' feet.
00:19:26.832 --> 00:19:28.867 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
And remember,
it's not just shoes
00:19:28.934 --> 00:19:30.903 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
that we give
at Christmas time,
00:19:30.969 --> 00:19:33.005 align:center line:85% position:50% size:53%
it's also the smiles.
00:19:33.071 --> 00:19:37.276 align:start line:74% position:18% size:65%
So around the world,
kids that are in need
of cleft palate surgeries,
00:19:37.342 --> 00:19:39.578 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
or kids that are
in need of shoes
00:19:39.645 --> 00:19:42.481 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
will be able to have a little
extra something of joy
00:19:42.548 --> 00:19:44.850 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
this Christmas because
of your giving.
00:19:44.917 --> 00:19:47.219 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
So whatever you can give,
maybe it's small,
00:19:47.286 --> 00:19:49.354 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
maybe it's great, but
whatever you can do,
00:19:49.421 --> 00:19:52.224 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
would you please help us
give Christmas shoes
00:19:52.291 --> 00:19:55.427 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
just as a simple way
of reminding children
00:19:55.494 --> 00:19:58.697 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that God sees them
and that God loves them.
00:20:02.634 --> 00:20:04.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Betty, we're told
00:20:04.169 --> 00:20:05.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
oftentimes, you don't
00:20:05.571 --> 00:20:06.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
look 80.
00:20:06.738 --> 00:20:07.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
You don't look old.
00:20:07.873 --> 00:20:09.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Betty, you look so young.
00:20:09.241 --> 00:20:10.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
You want to know
00:20:10.509 --> 00:20:11.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
one reason why?
00:20:11.777 --> 00:20:13.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We have a joy and a peace
00:20:13.111 --> 00:20:14.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in sharing God's love
00:20:15.013 --> 00:20:17.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with the least of these,
00:20:17.215 --> 00:20:19.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with the most overlooked.
00:20:19.918 --> 00:20:22.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Those who feel so unimportant
00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:23.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and forgotten.
00:20:23.488 --> 00:20:25.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Jesus said, If you help
00:20:25.657 --> 00:20:26.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the least of these,
00:20:26.959 --> 00:20:28.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
those that are hungry,
00:20:28.327 --> 00:20:29.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
those that are hurting,
00:20:29.528 --> 00:20:31.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
those that are in prison,
00:20:31.096 --> 00:20:32.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
so to speak,
00:20:32.264 --> 00:20:33.465 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
they're defeated,
00:20:33.532 --> 00:20:34.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
they're thirsty,
00:20:34.866 --> 00:20:36.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and you meet that need,
00:20:36.435 --> 00:20:37.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you do it to me.
00:20:37.703 --> 00:20:39.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And you know what he says?
00:20:39.638 --> 00:20:41.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And you are my sheep.
00:20:41.406 --> 00:20:42.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
If you ever wonder who's
00:20:42.741 --> 00:20:45.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
saved, who really knows him,
00:20:45.310 --> 00:20:47.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you see the least of these.
00:20:47.946 --> 00:20:49.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
You see the hurting
00:20:49.281 --> 00:20:50.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and the suffering.
00:20:50.849 --> 00:20:52.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And you can be a healing
00:20:52.684 --> 00:20:54.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
factor, and you do it,
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
he says, you are my sheep
00:20:56.788 --> 00:20:57.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
doing my will,
00:20:57.990 --> 00:20:59.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and you bless me.
00:20:59.458 --> 00:21:02.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think that keeps us young.
00:21:02.094 --> 00:21:04.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And I think that alleviates
00:21:04.329 --> 00:21:05.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a lot of stress.
00:21:05.931 --> 00:21:06.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
BETTY: James, to give
00:21:07.032 --> 00:21:08.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
a special gift
00:21:08.100 --> 00:21:09.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to these children,
00:21:09.267 --> 00:21:10.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
shoes of all things.
00:21:10.435 --> 00:21:11.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I love to see
00:21:11.670 --> 00:21:12.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
my grandchildren,
00:21:12.938 --> 00:21:14.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
my great-granddaughters,
00:21:14.106 --> 00:21:15.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
they get a new pair of shoes,
00:21:15.207 --> 00:21:16.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
some of them have sparkles
00:21:16.308 --> 00:21:17.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
on them and everything.
00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:18.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
They're so proud of them.
00:21:18.777 --> 00:21:19.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Well, these children are
00:21:20.012 --> 00:21:21.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
just as proud because
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
they have shoes on their feet.
00:21:22.848 --> 00:21:24.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Feet that walk every day.
00:21:24.516 --> 00:21:26.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Everywhere they go they have
00:21:26.151 --> 00:21:27.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to walk to get there,
00:21:27.986 --> 00:21:29.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and their little feet
00:21:29.554 --> 00:21:30.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
step on stones, they step on
00:21:30.989 --> 00:21:32.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
all kinds of things.
00:21:32.257 --> 00:21:33.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
They cut their feet, James,
00:21:33.525 --> 00:21:34.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and then they get infections
00:21:34.726 --> 00:21:35.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and they get diseases
00:21:35.827 --> 00:21:37.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
from it.
00:21:37.529 --> 00:21:39.031 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
This is a gift they can enjoy
00:21:39.097 --> 00:21:40.866 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
because it's a gift of shoes,
00:21:40.932 --> 00:21:42.401 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
but it's also a protection
00:21:42.467 --> 00:21:43.502 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
for their bodies.
00:21:43.568 --> 00:21:44.970 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
So please join with us
00:21:45.037 --> 00:21:46.638 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
and let's offer the shoes
00:21:46.705 --> 00:21:47.906 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
for Christmas for these
00:21:47.973 --> 00:21:49.241 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
beautiful little children.
00:21:49.307 --> 00:21:50.509 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
JAMES: Yeah, I agree
00:21:50.575 --> 00:21:51.843 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
with everything you said.
00:21:51.910 --> 00:21:53.111 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
And then let's do this.
00:21:53.178 --> 00:21:54.379 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
Let's put a smile
00:21:54.446 --> 00:21:55.480 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
on a child's face that never
00:21:55.547 --> 00:21:57.015 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
believed they could smile.
00:21:57.082 --> 00:21:58.283 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
We've seen so many with
00:21:58.350 --> 00:21:59.685 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
cleft palates that when
00:21:59.751 --> 00:22:00.786 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
they would see themselves
00:22:00.852 --> 00:22:02.254 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
in our television camera,
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:03.422 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
they would run,
00:22:03.488 --> 00:22:04.656 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
they would pull back.
00:22:04.723 --> 00:22:05.724 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
They hadn't seen --
00:22:05.791 --> 00:22:06.725 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
a lot of them had never
00:22:06.792 --> 00:22:07.893 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
seen a mirror.
00:22:07.959 --> 00:22:08.927 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Kids would walk up and look
00:22:08.994 --> 00:22:10.162 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
in the rearview mirror
00:22:10.228 --> 00:22:11.763 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
on the side of a truck,
00:22:11.830 --> 00:22:12.864 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
and they'd see themselves
00:22:12.931 --> 00:22:14.366 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
and they wouldn't like it.
00:22:14.433 --> 00:22:15.400 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
But do you know
00:22:15.467 --> 00:22:16.668 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
what we can do?
00:22:16.735 --> 00:22:17.769 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
We can give them
00:22:17.836 --> 00:22:19.104 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
the miracle of a smile.
00:22:19.171 --> 00:22:21.273 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
I'm asking everyone right now
00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:22.407 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
to make the greatest gift
00:22:22.474 --> 00:22:23.975 align:start line:10% position:10% size:20%
you can.
00:22:24.042 --> 00:22:26.411 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Your gift will give shoes.
00:22:26.478 --> 00:22:28.513 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
It's amazing that $36
00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:30.716 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
gives ten children shoes.
00:22:30.782 --> 00:22:32.284 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Isn't that amazing?
00:22:32.350 --> 00:22:34.086 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Please, would you do
00:22:34.152 --> 00:22:35.787 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
whatever you can?
00:22:35.854 --> 00:22:37.422 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
And then remember this.
00:22:37.489 --> 00:22:38.690 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
We're able to do
00:22:38.757 --> 00:22:39.891 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
the cleft palate surgeries
00:22:39.958 --> 00:22:41.660 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
because of the donation
00:22:41.727 --> 00:22:43.462 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
of the time of surgeons.
00:22:43.528 --> 00:22:44.730 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
They have to have certain
00:22:44.796 --> 00:22:45.831 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
equipment, and they have
00:22:45.897 --> 00:22:47.099 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
to pay for certain things,
00:22:47.165 --> 00:22:49.267 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
but we can do it for $500.
00:22:49.334 --> 00:22:50.502 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Imagine what that means to
00:22:50.569 --> 00:22:52.571 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
a child and the parents,
00:22:52.637 --> 00:22:54.706 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
the family, the friends
00:22:54.773 --> 00:22:56.208 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
to that person.
00:22:56.274 --> 00:22:57.342 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Would you right now go
00:22:57.409 --> 00:22:59.010 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
and get your bank card?
00:22:59.077 --> 00:23:00.112 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
And would you make
00:23:00.178 --> 00:23:02.047 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
the best gift you can, please?
00:23:02.114 --> 00:23:03.582 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Give the greatest gift
00:23:03.648 --> 00:23:05.016 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
because you're giving, truly,
00:23:05.083 --> 00:23:06.952 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
the greatest gift of love
00:23:07.018 --> 00:23:08.754 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
and the life of Christ.
00:23:08.820 --> 00:23:09.888 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
It is because of him
00:23:09.955 --> 00:23:11.156 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
that we do it.
00:23:11.223 --> 00:23:12.557 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Please, if you write a check
00:23:12.624 --> 00:23:14.092 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
make it to LIFE.
00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:15.260 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
But let's give some shoes
00:23:15.327 --> 00:23:16.828 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and smiles for Christmas
00:23:16.895 --> 00:23:17.996 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
starting right now.
00:23:18.063 --> 00:23:19.431 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
And we've got to do it now
00:23:19.498 --> 00:23:21.333 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
to deliver by Christmas.
00:23:21.399 --> 00:23:23.301 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
Please do it.
00:23:24.302 --> 00:23:26.805 align:start line:58% position:25% size:50%
Poverty is a killer,
and because of it,
00:23:26.872 --> 00:23:28.874 align:center line:58% position:50% size:43%
children
needlessly suffer
00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:30.909 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
not only from lack of food
and clean water,
00:23:30.976 --> 00:23:33.311 align:center line:58% position:50% size:75%
but also from a lack of things
we take for granted,
00:23:33.378 --> 00:23:35.614 align:center line:58% position:50% size:38%
such as
a healthy smile
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.716 align:center line:58% position:50% size:38%
or a protective
pair of shoes.
00:23:37.783 --> 00:23:40.218 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%
Far too many children
living in extreme poverty
00:23:40.285 --> 00:23:42.287 align:center line:58% position:50% size:40%
have never owned
a pair of shoes.
00:23:42.354 --> 00:23:44.422 align:start line:58% position:30% size:38%
And while that
may seem minor,
00:23:44.489 --> 00:23:46.525 align:center line:58% position:50% size:55%
walking with bare feet
puts them at risk
00:23:46.591 --> 00:23:50.462 align:center line:58% position:50% size:75%
of painful infections, injury,
and life-threatening diseases.
00:23:50.529 --> 00:23:53.131 align:start line:10% position:15% size:68%
But this Christmas, you can
bring hope and healing.
00:23:53.198 --> 00:23:55.400 align:start line:10% position:18% size:63%
Your gift today will help
provide new shoes
00:23:55.467 --> 00:23:59.237 align:center line:10% position:50% size:63%

More shoes than
smiles here
00:25:04.803 --> 00:25:07.505 align:center line:53% position:50% size:53%
in a village
made possible by you.
00:25:07.572 --> 00:25:10.375 align:start line:53% position:23% size:55%
Those of you who watch
and respond.
00:25:10.442 --> 00:25:12.410 align:start line:53% position:20% size:60%
We want to do this again
this Christmas
00:25:12.477 --> 00:25:14.512 align:center line:53% position:50% size:45%
for other children
in need.
00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:17.249 align:start line:53% position:13% size:75%
Not just for their well-being,
but for their health.
00:25:17.315 --> 00:25:19.317 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
It actually protects them
from a few things
00:25:19.384 --> 00:25:21.419 align:center line:53% position:50% size:38%
that can
make them sick.
00:25:21.486 --> 00:25:23.755 align:start line:53% position:15% size:68%
Your gift of $36
will actually provide shoes
00:25:23.822 --> 00:25:26.625 align:center line:53% position:50% size:43%
this Christmas
for ten children.
00:25:26.691 --> 00:25:29.828 align:start line:53% position:28% size:43%
And these shoes
last a long time.
00:25:29.895 --> 00:25:33.365 align:start line:53% position:20% size:60%
Maybe you can give shoes
to 20 children for $72.
00:25:33.431 --> 00:25:35.467 align:start line:53% position:23% size:53%
Some of you
40 children for $144.
00:25:35.533 --> 00:25:39.437 align:start line:53% position:13% size:73%
Don't forget the cleft palate
surgery is so important.
00:25:39.504 --> 00:25:41.706 align:center line:53% position:50% size:48%
Literally changing,
oftentimes,
00:25:41.773 --> 00:25:44.876 align:center line:53% position:50% size:40%
saving the lives
of little ones.
00:25:44.943 --> 00:25:48.580 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
Whatever you can do,
I pray that in the spirit
of Christmas,
00:25:48.647 --> 00:25:51.316 align:center line:53% position:50% size:60%
in the name of Christ
who is born this season,
00:25:51.383 --> 00:25:53.718 align:center line:53% position:50% size:60%
you would just reach out
with the love of God
00:25:53.785 --> 00:25:57.122 align:center line:53% position:50% size:68%
and be a part of
Christmas Shoes and Smiles.
00:25:57.188 --> 00:25:59.658 align:center line:53% position:50% size:40%
Go online.
Go to the phone.
00:25:59.724 --> 00:26:01.726 align:center line:53% position:50% size:45%
Make the best gift
you can.
00:26:03.295 --> 00:26:04.296 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
JAMES: And Father,
00:26:04.362 --> 00:26:06.097 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
I pray for stress to be
00:26:06.164 --> 00:26:07.632 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
alleviated in the hearts
00:26:07.699 --> 00:26:08.934 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
and minds of many
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.201 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
just because of what
00:26:10.268 --> 00:26:11.403 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
they've heard, and
00:26:11.469 --> 00:26:12.637 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
they'll continue the journey;
00:26:12.704 --> 00:26:14.139 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
in Jesus' name.
00:26:14.205 --> 00:26:15.640 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
Thank you for giving
00:26:15.707 --> 00:26:17.342 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
to the least of these.
00:26:17.409 --> 00:26:19.544 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
For blessing Jesus.
00:26:19.611 --> 00:26:21.246 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
What a way to do it!
00:26:21.313 --> 00:26:22.414 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
And would you consider
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.582 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
getting Charles Stones' book,
00:26:24.649 --> 00:26:25.984 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
Stress Less?
00:26:26.051 --> 00:26:27.485 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
I'm telling you, it's good.
00:26:27.552 --> 00:26:28.954 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
It's really good.
00:26:29.020 --> 00:26:30.622 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
Charles, I want to thank you.
00:26:30.689 --> 00:26:32.023 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
I'm glad we've crossed paths
00:26:32.090 --> 00:26:33.458 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
and we had some kind
00:26:33.525 --> 00:26:34.759 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
of effect just from
00:26:34.826 --> 00:26:35.894 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
the impact you heard
00:26:35.961 --> 00:26:37.228 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
that we were having.
00:26:37.295 --> 00:26:38.496 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
And we do thank you for
00:26:38.563 --> 00:26:39.965 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
the impact you're having.
00:26:40.031 --> 00:26:41.466 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
We'll send you this book
00:26:41.533 --> 00:26:43.168 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
along with the other gifts
00:26:43.234 --> 00:26:45.203 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
if you'll just simply help us
00:26:45.270 --> 00:26:46.438 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
give some shoes
00:26:46.504 --> 00:26:47.772 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
and some smiles.
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.108 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
