00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Hello, folks, this is Princess, 
you are listening to the 

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,600
millennial Mustard Seed, pod 
casts. 

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Thanks for listening. 
Don't forget to share with your 

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,400
friends. 
I stopped wearing Adam, very 

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,100
tough spot. 
I think that what we're doing 

6
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:19,400
right now is a great benefit and
virtue because it's an 

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,800
end-around between this whole 
corrupt informational system 

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:01:05,700
media system. 
So, March 20th marks for years 

9
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,100
of the millennial Mustard Seed 
podcast. 

10
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,200
It's been quite a journey. 
I must say there's been some ups

11
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,500
and downs, but it's been 
priceless. 

12
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,400
I remember when the wild thought
popped into my head about 

13
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:31,800
starting a podcast And I've 
never said on air before what 

14
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,000
the name of the first show was, 
but it was not of this world was

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,600
the very first podcast and it 
was just my way of taking a step

16
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,500
of Faith. 
Personally, I hate the way, my 

17
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:50,900
voice sounds, so it was hard for
me to listen to myself and I was

18
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:53,500
computer illiterate when this 
whole thing began. 

19
00:01:55,900 --> 00:02:00,900
We all have a story and things 
that we have went through and 

20
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:04,500
there's dreams and desires that 
we pursue while trying to 

21
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:09,100
balance out life. 
I wanted to take this time just 

22
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:14,000
to clear up the air and to share
with you guys what the future of

23
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,500
the show will look like and to 
make some confessions I was not 

24
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:26,400
raised in the church but I did 
give my heart to Jesus Christ in

25
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,600
a courtroom over nine years ago.
I know that God works in 

26
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,200
mysterious ways and he 
definitely has thoughts that are

27
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,300
much higher than our own. 
My life changed when I came to 

28
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:50,300
him and it continues to change. 
I have struggled my whole life 

29
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:56,300
with anger lust, lack of 
confidence, not knowing where I 

30
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:02,400
belong and what my abilities 
were trying to sit in the 

31
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,500
background quietly and observe 
everything around me. 

32
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,300
Not really knowing when it was 
my turn to step up or to speak 

33
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,200
and when people looked at me, I 
would have trouble looking them 

34
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,500
in the eyes. 
I had a good childhood. 

35
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:22,300
It also came with some traumas 
and the reason I bring all this 

36
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:27,700
up is first and foremost. 
I've made plenty of mistakes and

37
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:30,900
that's why my faith in Christ is
so important to me. 

38
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:37,400
Now, as a man, sitting here, 
recording this for you guys, to 

39
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,900
try to get a deeper 
understanding of who I am, as a 

40
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:44,500
host, as a man, as a father, as 
a son, as a neighbor. 

41
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,600
I repent. 
The frustrations, the lost, the 

42
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,700
anger, the fear. 
I know there's a calling on my 

43
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,800
life. 
And I have been growing. 

44
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,100
The purpose of the show was to 
capture that journey. 

45
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,600
I just had no idea. 
How much I would grow. 

46
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,100
I've been taking time recently 
to really work on my 

47
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:23,700
communication. 
With God, first and foremost, 

48
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:28,700
and with my wife, and to really 
work out some bugs in my life, 

49
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,500
trying to get a deeper 
understanding of what God gave 

50
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:36,900
me and how I can offer it, how I
can apply the visions that God 

51
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,200
has given me about what I feel 
called to do and how to do it in

52
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,500
a genuine way, being true to the
condition of my heart before him

53
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:48,700
because we can't hide anything 
from him. 

54
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:56,400
And I see now how he has used 
this pod casting, process to 

55
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,100
grow, me and challenge me, and 
to have me committed to a hobby 

56
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,600
turned Ministry. 
I never called it a Ministry but

57
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,500
other people started to call it 
a Ministry and after reading 

58
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,500
messages and emails, I started 
to understand the significance 

59
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:18,600
of taking a journey into the 
unknown. 

60
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:27,000
I believe love creates ample 
room for courage. 

61
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,700
And I know perfect. 
Love cast out fear. 

62
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,100
So, as I record this year, today
still wondering what the future 

63
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,400
is going to look like for my 
life. 

64
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:46,200
And for the podcast, I want you 
guys as the listeners to know 

65
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:53,300
this podcast will continue to be
a place where love exists. 

66
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,600
Disagreements can be done. 
Cordially respectfully and where

67
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,700
stories can be told I want this 
to be a place. 

68
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:08,600
Unlike the world. 
Where truth can reside without 

69
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,100
judgment Without Anger without 
biased? 

70
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,300
A place where we can come 
together and reason and talk 

71
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,600
about everything that is 
uncommon and common normal and 

72
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,100
not normal depending on who 
you're talking to. 

73
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:31,000
And I wanted to be a place where
you can feel respected and safe 

74
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,400
to share whatever is on your 
heart if you would like to be a 

75
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,900
guest on this show. 
So I'm thankful to God for not 

76
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,500
leaving me in the ditch for not 
leaving me in the gutter of my 

77
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,800
mind and my heart. 
Heart my bad decisions, but I 

78
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,600
know that it is not of myself. 
I'm not of this world. 

79
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:57,900
I am simply passing through. 
I'd like to be bold and humble, 

80
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,600
and honest. 
As I asked you guys, as 

81
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,300
listeners to plant seeds into 
this ministry, that God has 

82
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,500
given me. 
To continue to grow this 

83
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,100
podcast. 
So it can become so much more 

84
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:15,600
than just a podcast. 
I'd like to continue to open up 

85
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,600
my home for home Church to be 
able to travel to other people's

86
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,400
homes for Fellowship. 
I like to be able to attend 

87
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,800
conferences to grow the podcast,
the equipment to continue to 

88
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,100
work and study to show myself, 
well, approved as I limp along 

89
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,800
and learn in this temporary 
life. 

90
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,300
So, I asked you guys, if you 
have gotten value from this 

91
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:43,900
podcast, from the last four 
seasons, I'd ask you to put 

92
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:50,500
value back into the show. 
Help Me Grow this then It's for 

93
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,000
all of us. 
This is not just for me. 

94
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,100
I believe in what I'm doing. 
And I hope that you guys believe

95
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,700
and what God has called you to 
do. 

96
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,000
If this podcast is made you 
laugh or cry consider giving a 

97
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800
dollar a month, four dollars a 
month, ten dollars a month that 

98
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,300
would help tremendously. 
I'd like to give a shout out and

99
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,400
thank you to the two people who 
are donating to the podcast 

100
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,500
monthly. 
That means a lot. 

101
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,300
I know that there's great cost 
in equipment and services and I 

102
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:31,100
don't consider my time doing 
this worthy of pay. 

103
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:35,299
I'm doing it as a servant. 
Not looking to be in first place

104
00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:37,500
in the race. 
I'm the only looking to finish 

105
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,799
this race. 
Keeping my integrity and my 

106
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,400
faith walking upright, as a man 
should in the confusing days we 

107
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,200
live in and to be a voice of 
encouragement and confidence and

108
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,100
safety for my family and friends
and listeners all around the 

109
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:01,900
world. so, please consider I 
believe I have not because I ask

110
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:05,900
not. 
And I've thought long and hard 

111
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,400
about this. 
So here I am asking something. 

112
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,200
I thought I would never do but 
it's necessary, it's humbling 

113
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,100
and I need you to partner with 
me as we move forward, clinging 

114
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,800
to the word of God and working 
out our salvation with fear and 

115
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,200
trembling and I'm excited 
because there's so many things. 

116
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,900
I wish I could tell you guys all
about, there's just not enough 

117
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:35,900
time in the day. 
So I wanted to make this short 

118
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,600
speak peace here for you. 
You pun intended. 

119
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,900
Just to share my heart. 
I see this thing growing. 

120
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,500
I feel personally, the growth 
and I'm happy that you guys are 

121
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:51,900
a part of it and that you listen
to the show. 

122
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,900
Thank you for everybody who has 
left. 

123
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,100
Five star reviews on Spotify on 
Apple. 

124
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,500
Earning those reviews the old 
school way. 

125
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,300
Letting time go by learning as I
go editing and producing. 

126
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,100
Creating what I believe is, 
genuine original content and I 

127
00:10:16,108 --> 00:10:18,800
hope to be doing this in 4 years
from now God willing. 

128
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,300
It blows me away. 
How far this this humble little 

129
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:28,200
podcast is come already, we've 
gotten downloads and all 50 

130
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,800
states, and over 64 countries. 
So, I know it's helping some of 

131
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,700
you, as it is, clearly. 
Helping me last year, Spotify 

132
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:43,000
gave me some statistics and the 
podcast was in the top 10 

133
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,900
percent most shared globally. 
It was mainly through text 

134
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,600
message, which I thought was so 
dope. 

135
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,300
Hope it's so cool. 
And the show is in the top 5% 

136
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:59,400
globally. 
Out of the few million podcast. 

137
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,600
I'd say we're in the top hundred
thousand give or take. 

138
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,100
I never thought there would be 
listeners but that's changed. 

139
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,000
You guys have shown me that you 
listen that you're there that 

140
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,700
you're sharing this and 
encouraging me. 

141
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:20,000
And for those of you who are 
praying for me, Thank you. 

142
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,400
I'm going to do my best to keep 
this thing going, and we'll let 

143
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,000
God do the rest. 
This is my confession to you 

144
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,300
guys. 
My need of help and my 

145
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:34,100
acknowledgement of how far I 
know I still need to go. 

146
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,600
I lack in many areas, but I want
to be honest. 

147
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,500
And transparent with you guys 
when I say that, I'm repenting 

148
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,700
of the things that are not right
in my life, the way that I 

149
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:48,500
thought about things, the rabbit
trails and content that I spent 

150
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:52,400
too much time diving into that 
wasn't actually helpful to my 

151
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,500
calling, but I don't regret any 
of it. 

152
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:02,900
I only look to increase and 
godliness and to be a man and a 

153
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:08,700
voice for our Generation the 
millennial generation and every 

154
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,300
generation. 
That's willing to listen. 

155
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:15,200
Thank you for listening to this 
podcast and please leave that 

156
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,600
five-star rating and review of 
your own Apple.
