conversational pieces to help these conversational pieces to help these young individuals to walk through these young individuals to walk through these young individuals to walk through these conversations and really land at a conversations and really land at a conversations and really land at a reason why we still need a place in our reason why we still need a place in our reason why we still need a place in our hearts for God when you look at all the hearts for God when you look at all the hearts for God when you look at all the secularism and everything that's going secularism and everything that's going secularism and everything that's going on and the more you on and the more you on and the more you remove God from society right they they remove God from society right they they remove God from society right they they felt that God was hindering Society but felt that God was hindering Society but felt that God was hindering Society but you know they didn't realize that God you know they didn't realize that God you know they didn't realize that God has was protecting Society from has was protecting Society from has was protecting Society from themselves so now that we're seeing themselves so now that we're seeing themselves so now that we're seeing ourselves being ourselves seeing God ourselves being ourselves seeing God ourselves being ourselves seeing God being removed more and more and what do being removed more and more and what do being removed more and more and what do you see on the rise rise chaos and the the Abandonment for the chaos and the the Abandonment for the chaos and the the Abandonment for the sacred we're seeing more of of of of the sacred we're seeing more of of of of the sacred we're seeing more of of of of the the immorality of the immorality of the immorality of individuals lives are being lost at a at individuals lives are being lost at a at individuals lives are being lost at a at a high a high a high rate and the biggest conclusion I can rate and the biggest conclusion I can rate and the biggest conclusion I can come into is that when you started come into is that when you started come into is that when you started removing God you started removing this removing God you started removing this removing God you started removing this protection that we needed and I think protection that we needed and I think protection that we needed and I think it's time for the church to get back it's time for the church to get back it's time for the church to get back into explaining into explaining into explaining this this this we're not about arguing we got to stop we're not about arguing we got to stop we're not about arguing we got to stop arguing we got to start getting to a arguing we got to start getting to a arguing we got to start getting to a place where we start having place where we start having place where we start having conversations with conversations with conversations with individuals with the ability to individuals with the ability to individuals with the ability to articulate this walk that we walk this articulate this walk that we walk this articulate this walk that we walk this belief that we have but it has to be belief that we have but it has to be belief that we have but it has to be grounded because some Christians out grounded because some Christians out grounded because some Christians out there talking some there talking some there talking some craziness some Christians are out there craziness some Christians are out there craziness some Christians are out there doing some

individuals that relied on me individuals that relied on me individuals that had had a certain individuals that had had a certain individuals that had had a certain expectation was was to hear these five expectation was was to hear these five expectation was was to hear these five words I am disappointed in I am disappointed in you so because of not wanting to hear you so because of not wanting to hear you so because of not wanting to hear that I was reluctant to make certain that I was reluctant to make certain that I was reluctant to make certain decisions I was reluctant to to to make decisions I was reluctant to to to make decisions I was reluctant to to to make sure that in my mind I had this this sure that in my mind I had this this sure that in my mind I had this this level of discernment to to engage level of discernment to to engage level of discernment to to engage certain things and I would I I was certain things and I would I I was certain things and I would I I was worried because my dad you know Spirit worried because my dad you know Spirit worried because my dad you know Spirit of Ro SP the child was my dad was of Ro SP the child was my dad was of Ro SP the child was my dad was wholehearted about wholehearted about wholehearted about that he believed that whole hardly Spar that he believed that whole hardly Spar that he believed that whole hardly Spar the rod spoil the the rod spoil the the rod spoil the child see but I didn't like the rod but it wasn't the threat of the rod rod but it wasn't the threat of the rod that caused me to live a certain life it that caused me to live a certain life it that caused me to live a certain life it was because I never wanted my was because I never wanted my was because I never wanted my dad to say I was disappointed in you I dad to say I was disappointed in you I dad to say I was disappointed in you I think that was that that cut deeper to think that was that that cut deeper to think that was that that cut deeper to anything else the fact that I anything else the fact that I anything else the fact that I disappointed my father now I look at my disappointed my father now I look at my disappointed my father now I look at my wife and my kids and I never want them wife and my kids and I never want them wife and my kids and I never want them to say I was disappointed with to say I was disappointed with to say I was disappointed with you but in spite of my fears I still had you but in spite of my fears I still had you but in spite of my fears I still had to start developing his desire to make to start developing his desire to make to start developing his desire to make decisions it had to be courageous and reality is that courage courageous and reality is that courage is important in life for several is important in life for several is important in life for several reasons number reasons number reasons number one courage is necessary for overcoming

morning he said he said that that in the morning he said he said that that in the book uh I think was it's Ern mcmanis and book uh I think was it's Ern mcmanis and book uh I think was it's Ern mcmanis and he says that that he was comparing the he says that that he was comparing the he says that that he was comparing the Holyfield fight uh I mean the the uh the Holyfield fight uh I mean the the uh the Holyfield fight uh I mean the the uh the Mike Tyson and Buster Mike Tyson and Buster Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas right it was Buster Douglas who Douglas right it was Buster Douglas who Douglas right it was Buster Douglas who knocked Mike Tyson knocked Mike Tyson knocked Mike Tyson out which we were all shocked and he said shocked and he said that busted Douglas and his him knocking Mike Tyson Douglas and his him knocking Mike Tyson out was an out was an out was an anomaly he said because after like anomaly he said because after like anomaly he said because after like knocking Mike Tyson out you hear nothing knocking Mike Tyson out you hear nothing knocking Mike Tyson out you hear nothing else about bust the else about bust the else about bust the duckass and what happens is that that duckass and what happens is that that duckass and what happens is that that that you certain individuals which is that you certain individuals which is that you certain individuals which is the good thing about you can change this the good thing about you can change this the good thing about you can change this but certain individuals have what they but certain individuals have what they but certain individuals have what they call a mindset ful faillure and too often it's not that we faillure and too often it's not that we we we we we we intentionally create a we we we we we intentionally create a we we we we we intentionally create a mindset for failure but we don't learn mindset for failure but we don't learn mindset for failure but we don't learn to make the necessary changes at the to make the necessary changes at the to make the necessary changes at the next level in life Dr has taught us that you can't life Dr has taught us that you can't solve a problem at the same level you solve a problem at the same level you solve a problem at the same level you entered it in order to solve the problem entered it in order to solve the problem entered it in order to solve the problem you have to get new information new you have to get new information new you have to get new information new information start changing the way you information start changing the way you information start changing the way you think so number one overcoming fear number two so number one overcoming fear number two pursuing our pursuing goals number

pursuing our pursuing goals number pursuing our pursuing goals number three courage is important in life for three courage is important in life for three courage is important in life for personal growth see courage helps us grow as growth see courage helps us grow as individuals by pushing us out of our individuals by pushing us out of our individuals by pushing us out of our comfort zone and into new experiences experiences remember the statement is you never grow remember the statement is you never grow remember the statement is you never grow in your comfort zone and somebody asked me what was the zone and somebody asked me what was the toughest thing about coming out of of of toughest thing about coming out of of of toughest thing about coming out of of of of uh of uh of uh Co I said the toughest Co I said the toughest Co I said the toughest thing was engaging back into doing work thing was engaging back into doing work thing was engaging back into doing work but at another but at another but at another level think about how many of us are level think about how many of us are level think about how many of us are sitting home relaxing we we weren't really going out relaxing we we weren't really going out because you know restaurants was closed because you know restaurants was closed because you know restaurants was closed so you had to start cooking at so you had to start cooking at so you had to start cooking at home and then things started open up home and then things started open up home and then things started open up like man do I feel like going like man do I feel like going like man do I feel like going out and you just sitting there and you out and you just sitting there and you out and you just sitting there and you you're just watching TV and you you you're just watching TV and you you you're just watching TV and you you start uh uh for some of us I'm not you start uh uh for some of us I'm not you start uh uh for some of us I'm not you know you start binging certain shows and know you start binging certain shows and know you start binging certain shows and catching catching catching up come on how many of us caught up on a up come on how many of us caught up on a up come on how many of us caught up on a lot of shows that people are talking lot of shows that people are talking lot of shows that people are talking about oh only SE seven of us so none of about oh only SE seven of us so none of about oh only SE seven of us so none of y'all nobody else in here watch shows y'all nobody else in here watch shows y'all nobody else in here watch shows all right thank you for the seven that all right thank you for the seven that all right thank you for the seven that was with me watching you know my shows was with me watching you know my shows was with me watching you know my shows caught up on some caught up on some caught up on some reading right I was I was learning how reading right I was I was learning how reading right I was I was learning how to be creative at home technology

to be creative at home technology to be creative at home technology allowed me not to leave I was I was allowed me not to leave I was I was allowed me not to leave I was I was doing social media streaming live you doing social media streaming live you doing social media streaming live you know go anything I needed I could order know go anything I needed I could order know go anything I needed I could order it Amazon was the best thing I didn't it Amazon was the best thing I didn't it Amazon was the best thing I didn't have to go out to the store let's let's have to go out to the store let's let's have to go out to the store let's let's think about like our life changed during think about like our life changed during think about like our life changed during Co where we are became individuals that Co where we are became individuals that Co where we are became individuals that were not good for us to were not good for us to were not good for us to become and the hardest thing for me was become and the hardest thing for me was become and the hardest thing for me was to get up and get to get up and get to get up and get going God I didn't tell you I didn't going God I didn't tell you I didn't going God I didn't tell you I didn't want to but to get up and get going and want to but to get up and get going and want to but to get up and get going and the thing that pushed me out of the the thing that pushed me out of the the thing that pushed me out of the house okay I'm house okay I'm house okay I'm sorry the house she said uhuh come on let's go you house she said uhuh come on let's go you got things to do God ain't de with you got things to do God ain't de with you got things to do God ain't de with you yet let's go let's let's yet let's go let's let's yet let's go let's let's go but the reality is I created this go but the reality is I created this go but the reality is I created this comfort zone I didn't want to come out comfort zone I didn't want to come out comfort zone I didn't want to come out of and there's a false of and there's a false of and there's a false reality in your comfort reality in your comfort reality in your comfort zone because you can think you're being zone because you can think you're being zone because you can think you're being so productive because there's a lot so productive because there's a lot so productive because there's a lot going on in the comfort going on in the comfort going on in the comfort zone but just because there's a lot zone but just because there's a lot zone but just because there's a lot going on doesn't mean you're being productive so number productive so number four it takes courage to be resilient see resilience see resilience builds a builds a builds a mindset that helps us bounce back from

mindset that helps us bounce back from mindset that helps us bounce back from setback and challenges you build a challenges you build a mindset turn to your neighbor say mindset turn to your neighbor say mindset turn to your neighbor say neighbor neighbor being resilient being neighbor neighbor being resilient being neighbor neighbor being resilient being resilient is a part of the Christian resilient is a part of the Christian resilient is a part of the Christian walk is a part of the Christian walk walk is a part of the Christian walk walk is a part of the Christian walk turn to your other neighbor say other turn to your other neighbor say other turn to your other neighbor say other neighbor other neighbor you know why you neighbor other neighbor you know why you neighbor other neighbor you know why you know why cuz stuff's going to happen know why cuz stuff's going to happen know why cuz stuff's going to happen going to going to going to Happ so number one overcoming fear Happ so number one overcoming fear Happ so number one overcoming fear number two pursuing goals number three number two pursuing goals number three number two pursuing goals number three personal growth number four resilience personal growth number four resilience personal growth number four resilience number five making tough five making tough decisions and this is one of the things decisions and this is one of the things decisions and this is one of the things that Dr has said that Dr has said that Dr has said before see courage is necessary for before see courage is necessary for before see courage is necessary for making difficult decision especially making difficult decision especially making difficult decision especially when they are in the best interest of when they are in the best interest of when they are in the best interest of ourselves or others how about this number six for others how about this number six for standing up for our beliefs and that's where we are Church beliefs and that's where we are Church we're at a place where we need courage we're at a place where we need courage we're at a place where we need courage and stand up for our and stand up for our and stand up for our beliefs it empowers us to stand up for beliefs it empowers us to stand up for beliefs it empowers us to stand up for our beliefs values and principles even our beliefs values and principles even our beliefs values and principles even when facing opposition opposition you want to you want to you want to challenge if somebody believes what they challenge if somebody believes what they challenge if somebody believes what they say they say they say they believe give them believe give them believe give them opposition give them the the the deepest opposition give them the the the deepest opposition give them the the the deepest strain of opposition you'll see if

strain of opposition you'll see if strain of opposition you'll see if that's a conviction or a preference for a lot of people being in preference for a lot of people being in church after Co became a church after Co became a church after Co became a preference before it was a conviction preference before it was a conviction preference before it was a conviction I'm Christian through and through I'm I'm Christian through and through I'm I'm Christian through and through I'm here for the Long Haul Co hit just as fast as Co went out with hit just as fast as Co went out with some some individual Christian some some individual Christian some some individual Christian lifestyle and number lifestyle and number lifestyle and number seven being courageous inspires others see active courage can Inspire others see active courage can Inspire and motivate others to take action and motivate others to take action and motivate others to take action and make positive change in their own lives so overall courage is a lives so overall courage is a fundamental trait that can lead us to fundamental trait that can lead us to fundamental trait that can lead us to personal growth positive change and a personal growth positive change and a personal growth positive change and a more fulfilling more fulfilling more fulfilling life I'll say that again matter of fact life I'll say that again matter of fact life I'll say that again matter of fact say this say your neighbor say neighbor say this say your neighbor say neighbor say this say your neighbor say neighbor neighbor overall overall courage is a neighbor overall overall courage is a neighbor overall overall courage is a fundamental trait that can tra that can fundamental trait that can tra that can fundamental trait that can tra that can lead to personal growth grow positive lead to personal growth grow positive lead to personal growth grow positive changei change and a more fulfilling changei change and a more fulfilling changei change and a more fulfilling life life and so for some of us I life life and so for some of us I life life and so for some of us I understand that being courageous is not understand that being courageous is not understand that being courageous is not natural it's not natural it's not natural it's not normal and we have to work on it we have

normal and we have to work on it we have normal and we have to work on it we have to develop the sense of being courageous to develop the sense of being courageous to develop the sense of being courageous you can see it when when the kids are you can see it when when the kids are you can see it when when the kids are little you got some kids out there they little you got some kids out there they little you got some kids out there they they Shadow pops up and they jump in they Shadow pops up and they jump in they Shadow pops up and they jump in like Lord have like Lord have like Lord have mercy or you go a little boo and they mercy or you go a little boo and they mercy or you go a little boo and they and they jumping and it's so it's they and they jumping and it's so it's they and they jumping and it's so it's they they always have like this sense of they always have like this sense of they always have like this sense of being afraid and so being courageous is being afraid and so being courageous is being afraid and so being courageous is not the norm for some individuals I not the norm for some individuals I not the norm for some individuals I understand but still there's a command understand but still there's a command understand but still there's a command for you to be for you to be for you to be courageous the question is how do I courageous the question is how do I courageous the question is how do I develop develop develop it for some of us it's easy to be it for some of us it's easy to be it for some of us it's easy to be courageous this is a part of us you got courageous this is a part of us you got courageous this is a part of us you got people who wants to they want to call people who wants to they want to call people who wants to they want to call base base base jumping and is a the say to your jumping and is a the say to your jumping and is a the say to your neighbor say neighbor neighbor there's a neighbor say neighbor neighbor there's a neighbor say neighbor neighbor there's a thin line there's a thin line between thin line there's a thin line between thin line there's a thin line between being courageous being courageous being courageous and be intelligent so basically I'm saying is intelligent so basically I'm saying is there's a thin line between being there's a thin line between being there's a thin line between being courageous and stupid but I we weren't courageous and stupid but I we weren't courageous and stupid but I we weren't allowed to say that growing up we had a allowed to say that growing up we had a allowed to say that growing up we had a dollar dollar dollar jar if if you stupid you know if he did jar if if you stupid you know if he did jar if if you stupid you know if he did said anything that demeans our siblings said anything that demeans our siblings said anything that demeans our siblings we had to put a dollar in the jar I had all my money jar I had all my money I learn I learn I learn fast but for some for some individual fast but for some for some individual fast but for some for some individual like being courageous is natural like like being courageous is natural like like being courageous is natural like give me that I'll do that you got those give me that I'll do that you got those give me that I'll do that you got those individuals those tend to be the leaders individuals those tend to be the leaders individuals those tend to be the leaders of the group because it it takes a of the group because it it takes a of the group because it it takes a certain level of courageousness of a

certain level of courageousness of a certain level of courageousness of a certain level of courage in order for certain level of courage in order for certain level of courage in order for them to to to be the them to to to be the them to to to be the Pathfinders some individuals it takes a Pathfinders some individuals it takes a Pathfinders some individuals it takes a certain courage to to certain courage to to certain courage to to follow but the reality is courage is not follow but the reality is courage is not follow but the reality is courage is not normal consistent trait throughout normal consistent trait throughout normal consistent trait throughout everybody's life see but then God life see but then God comes in Joshua chapter 1 verse 6 and Dr comes in Joshua chapter 1 verse 6 and Dr comes in Joshua chapter 1 verse 6 and Dr referred to this but I want to go back referred to this but I want to go back referred to this but I want to go back to it for for a particular to it for for a particular to it for for a particular reason it says be strong and courageous and I and I I've I was courageous and I and I I've I was researching why is there a separation of researching why is there a separation of researching why is there a separation of the strength of an individual and a fact the strength of an individual and a fact the strength of an individual and a fact for him to be courageous so there there's a there's a there's a so there there's a there's a there's a difference when we look at strength some difference when we look at strength some difference when we look at strength some people are strong but they're not people are strong but they're not people are strong but they're not courageous so he says he says he says courageous so he says he says he says courageous so he says he says he says and I'm I'm going to go somewhere with and I'm I'm going to go somewhere with and I'm I'm going to go somewhere with this he says be strong because there's this he says be strong because there's this he says be strong because there's some things you're going to have to do some things you're going to have to do some things you're going to have to do he said but take with your strength he said but take with your strength he said but take with your strength courageousness you got to be courage I courageousness you got to be courage I courageousness you got to be courage I mean you got to have courage strength mean you got to have courage strength mean you got to have courage strength and courage he said be strong and be and courage he said be strong and be and courage he said be strong and be courageous and for you are the one who courageous and for you are the one who courageous and for you are the one who will lead these people to possess the will lead these people to possess the will lead these people to possess the land I swore for their ancestors I will land I swore for their ancestors I will land I swore for their ancestors I will give you I will give give you I will give give you I will give them be strong and be very courageous be them be strong and be very courageous be them be strong and be very courageous be careful to obey all the instructions careful to obey all the instructions careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you do not deviate from them

this year but that does not mean you're this year but that does not mean you're faing that does not mean you're you're faing that does not mean you're you're faing that does not mean you're you're lacking that does not mean that God is lacking that does not mean that God is lacking that does not mean that God is not here for not here for not here for you be you be you be courageous see we live life on levels and see we live life on levels and experience him in stages and or we experience him in stages and or we experience him in stages and or we arrive at stages and each level our best arrive at stages and each level our best arrive at stages and each level our best becomes me New becomes me New becomes me New Yorker but we leave when we move from Yorker but we leave when we move from Yorker but we leave when we move from level to level the familiar level to level the familiar level to level the familiar becomes becomes becomes unfamiliar the things that we did before unfamiliar the things that we did before unfamiliar the things that we did before we have to change what we doing we have to change what we doing we have to change what we doing next and it's going to be a shift in next and it's going to be a shift in next and it's going to be a shift in what's going what's going what's going on and I want to go somewhere real quick on and I want to go somewhere real quick on and I want to go somewhere real quick for the sake for the for little bit of for the sake for the for little bit of for the sake for the for little bit of time I have progression Dr introduced courage and it progression Dr introduced courage and it takes courage to admit need for God and takes courage to admit need for God and takes courage to admit need for God and for for for people but I want to highlight the people but I want to highlight the people but I want to highlight the second one is it takes courage to face second one is it takes courage to face second one is it takes courage to face reality and I think that's something reality and I think that's something reality and I think that's something that's that's a problem now these days that's that's a problem now these days that's that's a problem now these days that nobody really wants to face reality that nobody really wants to face reality that nobody really wants to face reality all that trying to create this false all that trying to create this false all that trying to create this false reality and making individuals have to reality and making individuals have to reality and making individuals have to accept that said accept that said accept that said reality and the reality is that God made reality and the reality is that God made reality and the reality is that God made Adam and Eve right so so so let's look Adam and Eve right so so so let's look Adam and Eve right so so so let's look at this and saying this is when people at this and saying this is when people at this and saying this is when people don't have the courage to face the don't have the courage to face the don't have the courage to face the reality that they're supposed to live in reality that they're supposed to live in reality that they're supposed to live in they create a false reality to make them they create a false reality to make them they create a false reality to make them comfortable and therefore they'll never

grow and I'm trying to behave as I'm I'm grow and I'm trying to behave as I'm I'm talking about this false reality because talking about this false reality because talking about this false reality because what happens is if you're not willing to what happens is if you're not willing to what happens is if you're not willing to face face face reality you'll always live a stagnant no because and because I'm I'm no because and because I'm I'm I my heart is I my heart is I my heart is aching for the Next Generation my heart is aching for my Generation my heart is aching for my children's children I like I'm afraid to children's children I like I'm afraid to children's children I like I'm afraid to encourage my kids to have encourage my kids to have encourage my kids to have kids because if somebody can identify as kids because if somebody can identify as kids because if somebody can identify as a cat now what are they going to a cat now what are they going to a cat now what are they going to identify later and the further we pull from the later and the further we pull from the reality that we are human beings reality that we are human beings reality that we are human beings designed by God in the image of God the designed by God in the image of God the designed by God in the image of God the Amo day is something unique and Amo day is something unique and Amo day is something unique and significant and there's a real reality significant and there's a real reality significant and there's a real reality that there's something attacking this that there's something attacking this that there's something attacking this image because it's based on this image because it's based on this image because it's based on this jealousy and because of this jealousy we jealousy and because of this jealousy we jealousy and because of this jealousy we can see why they allowing the kids to can see why they allowing the kids to can see why they allowing the kids to say that they C they want to put a

now because one of the things that the now because one of the things that the church has done is they go to such a church has done is they go to such a church has done is they go to such a extreme to ostracize a certain group of extreme to ostracize a certain group of extreme to ostracize a certain group of individuals where they feel like they're individuals where they feel like they're individuals where they feel like they're not welcomed in the church and if we say not welcomed in the church and if we say not welcomed in the church and if we say that this is the place that they accept that this is the place that they accept that this is the place that they accept the truth about who they are that leads the truth about who they are that leads the truth about who they are that leads them to a place of change then we got to them to a place of change then we got to them to a place of change then we got to start changing the way we talk to people and the reality is even in here people and the reality is even in here there are individuals sitting here there are individuals sitting here there are individuals sitting here watching this with certain watching this with certain watching this with certain views on both sides and the reason why views on both sides and the reason why views on both sides and the reason why we are so uh powerless is because we're we are so uh powerless is because we're we are so uh powerless is because we're so so so divided like I said even in this room divided like I said even in this room divided like I said even in this room there are individuals with extreme views there are individuals with extreme views there are individuals with extreme views of both sides and the reality is is that of both sides and the reality is is that of both sides and the reality is is that if the Bible does not become the if the Bible does not become the if the Bible does not become the foundation on what we stand and the foundation on what we stand and the foundation on what we stand and the truth that that opens our eyes it's truth that that opens our eyes it's truth that that opens our eyes it's going to be very difficult for us to going to be very difficult for us to going to be very difficult for us to have a response for the Next have a response for the Next have a response for the Next [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Generation condemn my goal is to help you condemn my goal is to help you understand and the question is where do understand and the question is where do understand and the question is where do we we we stop this Pandora box has been opened stop this Pandora box has been opened stop this Pandora box has been opened but the question is where do we but the question is where do we but the question is where do we stop they're changing the the the the stop they're changing the the the the stop they're changing the the the the the terms to make it palatable so that the terms to make it palatable so that the terms to make it palatable so that we can have different discussions see we can have different discussions see we can have different discussions see once you start changing the terms to
