00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:05 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:14 I love, during the break Shedria was talking about 00:17 that she ended up her doctor said, 00:18 you know, you'd have a natural birth, 00:20 they're gonna deal with all that kind of stuff 00:22 and she had a natural birth, had a beautiful baby boy 00:25 and she's pregnant right now, hopefully with a girl, 00:27 'cause she has two boys at home. 00:29 So that's way cool. Way cool. 00:31 You know, Brad, we've talked about 00:35 you know, really kind of sucked in with your fear 00:38 and dealing with your identity crisis 00:40 and maybe I'm not a trumpet player 00:42 and if I was gone at least you can collect the insurance 00:45 but God brought you from that place to a place 00:48 where you have your identity in Him 00:49 and so talk about that for a minute 00:51 and then if you could pray for anybody 00:54 that's lost there I would love that. 00:57 Okay. I'd be honored. 00:59 You know, the journey and not the journey, 01:02 you know, let's say the journey is 100 mile hike 01:05 I think I'm at about mile five right now. 01:09 And it's crazy as that sounds 'cause you've been through. 01:11 Well, I'm getting some hiking shoes 01:12 I'm joining you, 'cause I love you. 01:13 Okay, well, thank you. Thank you. 01:15 I'd be honored to have you by my side. 01:18 That part is you know, it's real interesting 01:20 that sometimes I think we get 01:21 through a traumatic event or whatever 01:23 I think okay, well, I've really accomplished something 01:25 and in fact may be now you're just ready to get started 01:28 that you've been able to shed some baggage 01:30 or in this case really, truly to find my identity. 01:33 Is my identity is that oh, I can do these bike rides 01:36 or that I play the trumpet or all this stuff. 01:38 It's like God doesn't see me as any of that. 01:40 He sees me as His child and you know, is excited 01:44 when I chose to do the things that He would like me to do 01:48 and stand up and represent Him and sometimes its crazy this, 01:51 just the fact that you chose to be healthy 01:53 that you chose to not cause or do those kinds of things 01:56 is an incredible-- 01:57 Love you wife. Love you wife, yes. 02:01 Is an incredible outreach 02:02 to those around you depending on environment 02:04 and as I've been surprised 02:07 when I first started teaching at Boise State University 02:09 and was doing the jazz band just to have 02:11 one of the students come up to me 02:13 and he's, oh, you're trumpet player 02:16 and you don't drink and you don't swear, 02:17 what's the matter with you? 02:19 You know, it's just simply sometimes 02:21 we don't know about that 02:22 but the main part I do believe 02:24 that the stuff I'm dealing with or something I will deal with 02:28 and then till I fall over and they throw dirt on me 02:31 and so I need you at this point, 02:33 chose to maintain the choices I'm making to exercise, 02:37 to try and stay in the word, to love my wife, 02:40 you know, and to emotionally 02:41 connect with my family to do those things. 02:43 And find your identity in Christ. 02:45 Oh, absolutely, absolutely. 02:47 I really love what again looking 02:50 at that idea of maintenance 02:51 and again Old Testament we talked about, 02:53 this is kind of God maintains us. 02:55 And New Testament where the word maintenance comes up 02:57 and it's really interesting but its much more about 02:59 how we are to maintain a healthy spirit towards God. 03:04 Towards others and to ourselves, 03:06 to those we love. 03:07 And so it's really interesting 03:08 that kind of see the things that have changed. 03:10 So, I see we have just a minute left shall we pray? 03:13 Pray, amen. 03:15 Heavenly Father, I so just want to thank You 03:18 for being the God that You are 03:20 and You're willing to maintain Your love for us. 03:24 Maintain, help us to maintain our cause, 03:27 help us to maintain our interest in seeking You. 03:32 I'm asking right now 03:33 Lord, that You send Your Holy Spirit out to all those 03:35 that may be wandering in a place of darkness, 03:37 all those who may be questioning one 03:40 who they are, 03:41 they may be having something happen, 03:42 its taken their natural ability way 03:45 that they've been able to do this forever 03:47 and suddenly its gone and at times 03:50 You know fall to their own 03:52 or they find themselves in a place 03:53 and that You put Your had on them, 03:55 You give them hope, 03:56 You give them peace and let them know 03:58 that there is a way out of their darkness 03:59 and that way is through You. 04:01 In the name of Your son Jesus, amen. 04:02 Amen, thank you for joining us. 04:04 Until next time, always remember 04:05 that God is crazy about you, 04:07 hold on find your identity in Christ, me, too. 04:11 Bye, God bless. |
