1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,360 I tell women all the time that that every door that God opens, 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,720 he closes some and we couldn't, we can't understand why, but 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,600 then he puts us in other places and the door opens and here's a 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,360 divine plan. And I tell people all the time 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,560 to make sure you're listening enough to God and not your. 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,320 We talked about that in Proverbs about trust the Lord with all 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,240 your heart. Lean not into your 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,200 understanding. Take out at him and you direct 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,680 your path. Well, look, he directs our path. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,760 Sometimes we're off the we're off the path. 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,200 So he has to close the door to make a shift and go back where 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,080 we are supposed to be because that's where your blessings are. 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,440 That's that's where your Kairos moment is. 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,800 That's where the doors open for you is when we allow God's 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,840 present Holy Spirit to speak into our lives and listen 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,080 instead of talking studying on prayer a couple of days ago and 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,760 and I shared it with one of my classes and I was saying this 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,120 prayers communication and that's a two way St. 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,400 We can't say we prayed if we didn't let God talk. 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,720 So where we asked? Yes, one mouth for a reason. 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,120 And as you can tell, I'm a talker, so I have to reel myself 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,720 in because.

Yvette Rice. 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520 I know people have made that joke with your name, a lot of 90 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,640 rice. But I still eat rice today, 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800 earlier today. So we cannot do without rice. 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,440 My last name, I rejoiced at it first I wondered about it when I 93 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,840 got married to my husband, but the word that word rice, if you 94 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:08,560 think about it, that is a food substance that is used all over 95 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,440 the world to feed exactly. And from a divine standpoint of 96 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,560 where God has aligned my life here I am I feed people all over 97 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000 the world the word of God, which feeds the soul. 98 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,760 So there's a reason everyone's name and I'm even though now in 99 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,560 the South sometimes it's not pronounced rice. 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,240 Is rice my pronunciation in the correct way? 101 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200 I I remember going to Jamaica and I think they call us the 102 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Reese's, the Reese.

This Reese. 104 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880 But then you know he says good is just one syllable. 105 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,320 It's not Ademola. I've had so many variants of my 106 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,120 name that I don't even know what name is real any longer. 107 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,320 So I just tell people call me AI. 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,040 Look, that's my first name is Patty Muller. 109 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,800 My middle name is the CMS.

Doctor Rice, you are many things 123 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,160 that of course, you feed many souls. 124 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,240 Right. And let's talk about ladies 125 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,800 living in victory. And excellent Is that life or 126 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,040 leave? It's live we're all about our 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,360 lives and so my the acronym for my company is LLVE, but we 128 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200 pronounce it live. But it's ladies living in Victor 129 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,040 and excellence. I through my the path that God 130 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,520 chose for me from engineer to at home mom to back into the 131 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,080 marketplace as a program manager of a multi $1,000,000 contracts. 132 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,080 I noticed a pattern when it came to women in the marketplace 133 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,040 especially and industries that were male dominated and I also 134 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080 noticed it in ministry. We've already discussed that I'm 135 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,640 way I'm double your senior so. Double my age. 136 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000 I don't I don't understand the alignment right. 137 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,960 I am 33 or 60 exactly. So tell them what I told you 138 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,600 backstage. It's. 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,000 Almost. I'll leave. 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,560 It. I will leave it. 141 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,880 I will leave it to you. I will leave it to you. 142 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Some people may say, well, it could be double trouble, but 143 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600 we're going to say it's double victory because anytime, God, 144 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,880 I've spoke something twice, it happened immediately. 145 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,000 So that's the way we're going to look. 146 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Once have I spoken, twice have I heard that all power belongs to 147 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,280 God. That's right about it. 33 + 66 148 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,040 is 99. Wow. 149 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,000 Another victory. So think about it, with my 150 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,560 generation of women and even in younger women when I came back 151 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,160 to the marketplace, things had not changed a whole lot when it 152 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,040 came to women in leadership or women in industries that were 153 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120 male dominated. And I really felt the pulling 154 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,920 from the Lord to start live. But like I told you, I did not 155 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,800 start in obedience. I called it everything but 156 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,520 ladies living in Victory and excellence. 157 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,919 The acronym was the same, but I was saying learning to live in 158 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,720 victor victory and excellence. And you know how God can 159 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280 reprimand us when we're not hearing his voice. 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,640 I finally, I finally got on my face and said, OK, God, I 161 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,800 surrender. I know the world's going to say 162 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560 this is crazy. Why is she doing leadership 163 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:54,600 development and professional development for women through a 164 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,040 biblical lens? Because that's supposed to be 165 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,560 taboo to mix them, but I knew what the Lord was telling me. 166 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,680 That's when Ladies Living in Victory and Excellence was 167 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,720 rebirthed. And I started what's called the 168 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Faith Field Executive Leadership Institute for Women and doors 169 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,680 Open, Things change. Because I saw so many women that 170 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,760 they wanted to combine their faith and trust in God and what 171 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,000 their marketplace assignments were, but they were a little bit 172 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880 afraid to do it. And then I saw women who like 173 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,400 me, they left the marketplace to go raise a family. 174 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360 And then when you come back after being away for a long 175 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,840 period of time or there's a gap, people treat you differently. 176 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,120 And so I wanted to encourage women to understand something I 177 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,840 had to. I remember the day when the Lord 178 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,440 told me that I had been away for 15 years. 179 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,840 Now I'm really about to date and you're going to laugh. 180 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,800 When I left, when I left the marketplace, there was number 181 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,680 that they were just starting to use computer aided design. 182 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,760 We were doing engineers with a draft court and AT square right. 183 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200 I know you're thinking you have this dinosaur on your show, but 184 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320 listen, we talked. No, no, no. 185 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,680 So, So what what I'm thinking is when I was at university, I had 186 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,280 a lot of architecture students. They were always carried the the 187 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800 theme, the square at the at the bar. 188 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,680 They're all in like this. Exactly. 189 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,840 So here I am re entering the marketplace and I'm going into a 190 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160 company. They hired me because I had the 191 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,760 background of the leadership and development and training because 192 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760 they needed me to do technical leadership and training and our 193 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,560 team was overriding help menus for software that the government 194 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,840 had built in house. But I get there and I'm thinking 195 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,240 of all of the things that I have to overcome and I remember every 196 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,760 day I was a 25 minute drive and I remember every day going, 197 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,680 Lord, Are you sure? But I started realizing that as 198 00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:01,680 I prayed and spent time with him in that 25 minute drive, the 199 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,640 Holy Spirit became my best friend. 200 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,960 You know, the Lord Jesus said I won't leave you orphan as an 201 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,440 orphans and John is a John 16. He said I'm sending you the the 202 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,680 Holy Spirit is coming the conference and that word 203 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:19,640 comforter means helper, teacher, God stand by. 204 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,720 He's everything we need. And so I started depending on 205 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,400 him every day that I went to that office and I'm leading this 206 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,880 team. And I just started realizing he 207 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,960 really is my helper, my comforter teacher. 208 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,080 It that word breaks down advocate. 209 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,480 So he'll even fight for you when you can't speak up, a fight for 210 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,960 yourself. And so I started realizing what 211 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,360 I call God empowered confidence. And that made me so bold and put 212 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,080 me in a place of leadership that I knew I wasn't supposed to keep 213 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,360 it to myself. And I knew there were other 214 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,920 women who felt like I did, who had to take gaps away from the 215 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,320 marketplace, whether it was to take care of a family member, 216 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,520 their parents, raise children, take care of themselves, 217 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,760 whatever it was that they could re enter the marketplace in a 218 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,720 place of power and confidence if they trusted God instead of 219 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,800 trusting themselves. So that's what Nevello became, 220 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,680 became. That's what it's all about. 221 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,240 Now we spoke a bit about the impact versus income conflict. 222 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,520 Yes, peak faith. All of us at some point face 223 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,880 that situation when it comes to your calling, meeting your 224 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,560 calling, or making a living. How difficult was it for you, 225 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,720 and how were you able to reconcile that conflict with 226 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,480 your own self? So, so it's funny you asked me 227 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,960 that question at this time. I remember when we stepped away, 228 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,320 when I stepped away the from the marketplace the first time, my 229 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,920 salary was more than my husband's and the insurance, 230 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,160 everything that we needed was set up within my my job. 231 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360 I worked for the the government at the time that time too. 232 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,920 And but we prayed and God spoke to him and gave him peace for me 233 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720 to walk away. And the day I did well when we 234 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,640 set the paperwork in process, it was amazing, but it was God. 235 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,640 His job started providing health insurance dental insurance eye 236 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,120 insurance and he his salary was doubled weeks before I was 237 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,800 supposed to leave. Now you know that does not 238 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,560 happen so with divine and event in the mid I wrote a book called 239 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:39,240 mountain movie made easy while I was away the first time and 240 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,800 something that God had to jump out on the page at me and I'm 241 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,960 I'm going the long route but I'm going to get to where we're 242 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,120 going to I'll try to shorten it down was in the scriptures. 243 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,960 It said that if we have faith as a mustard seed, then we can move 244 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400 this mountain. And so I used to think growing 245 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,320 up that and I heard men and ministers say it, if we have 246 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,840 faith the size of but I went back and translated that and it 247 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:14,560 says as meaning like. And so God had me to study the 248 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,840 process of the mustard seed and it's in Scripture. 249 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Jesus taught it in a in a biblical example where the seed 250 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,200 goes into the ground and it's so tight, but then it goes on the 251 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,240 stick, but it it branches and rises up so great that the fowl 252 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,000 and the birds of the air could have a home there. 253 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,840 So that meant that my faith may start off small, but I have to 254 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,760 digest the word of God, spend time with him in prayer to 255 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,120 develop it so that it can house what we need. 256 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,200 And so many times in my situation and in the battles we 257 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,360 face, where we have to decide whether we're going to listen to 258 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,920 God and follow his path, even if it means stepping away and 259 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,720 taking a lesser salary for our period of time or do it the 260 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600 world's way. That's where our faith has to 261 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,440 grow. And like I shared with you 262 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,840 before we actually started recording, I remember the day 263 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,040 I'm whining and crying out to God about something. 264 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,960 Oh Lord, I need this, this and this. 265 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,880 And he goes, oh, so you the daughter that wrote mountain 266 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,440 move mate, he's a talking about faith. 267 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680 And now you're whining to me. Why are you not trusting me for 268 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880 you? And you know what I think many 269 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,120 times we forget how much God loves us. 270 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,480 And if we really understood how much he loves us, we would never 271 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,440 doubt anything that he wants us to do or ask for us. 272 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,640 Because remember, he wants he wants us. 273 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,040 He wants his best for us. So with that understanding that 274 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,200 He wants his best for us, why would he leave us in a situation 275 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,880 where we'll be denied everything that Christ died for us for? 276 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,600 So when it comes to faith, some of force have that faith as a 277 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,680 must secede and allow that faith to grow. 278 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,400 I remember the parable in the Bible. 279 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,960 You know, there are people with different kinds of hearts, the 280 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600 rocky heart, the fertile ground. Right. 281 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,440 Some people, the seed Gemini, right? 282 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,200 Or how about wait for it, those people that take their mustard 283 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,920 seeds and sprinkle it on their McDonald's burger. 284 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,560 You know, I see the sprinkles, you know, on those burgers. 285 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,320 It's like some people, they just eat it up like they don't have 286 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:41,720 the time to invest that. And we have, we have a very 287 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,120 minor peak generation right now. We even the TikTok generation, 288 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,720 people have that cognitive bias. People have the recent bias. 289 00:16:52,680 --> 00:17:00,280 People don't remember even things us by us last year, the 290 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,839 last thing that they saw. People don't even have good 291 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:10,160 attention span any longer and it's leading us into a faithless 292 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,359 generation. Right and. 293 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,240 If the last thing that is so, So what would you say to the next 294 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,880 generation of the leaders, you know, billionaires like that or 295 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,520 the Gen. Z and of course the upcoming 296 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,000 Gen. Alpha or 10 AI if you wish. 297 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,720 You know I I just. The Lord flashed before me, the 298 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,280 prodigal son. He thought he could have it 299 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,960 better by doing his own thing. He didn't need what his father 300 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,440 had for him. But the in in the middle of all 301 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,680 of that, his father never took away the blessing of the 302 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800 inheritance. He gave him what he asked for. 303 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,520 And even though he went and squandered it and he ended up in 304 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,800 the hog pit, he ended up in a place where he realized, he 305 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,600 said, even my father's servants are doing better than me. 306 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,480 And so I think sometimes God allows us to stray or get in 307 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,840 positions or put a, he allows us to do our own thing, but he 308 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,920 keeps just enough cord on us. So at the right time and the 309 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520 right moment, he could pull us back. 310 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,320 I mean, I lived that life when I went off to college, but we've 311 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,320 talked about Tuscaloosa, AL and I enjoyed myself. 312 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,480 I, I, I straight up did all of these things thinking I'm living 313 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,280 for God, but I'm really not living for God. 314 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,240 I could do my own thing and, and I had a, I've had a master's 315 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,480 role the moment right after I graduated. 316 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,720 In fact, I graduated in petroleum engineering and I did 317 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,240 not get a job because the oil industry plummeted. 318 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,840 I did not get a job for 12 months. 319 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,320 So all of these plans I had for myself, I was going to be on an 320 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,200 oil rig in Texas or Louisiana somewhere making all of these, 321 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,480 all these hundreds of thousands of dollars that was eventually 322 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,040 going to equate to millions. God had me and a place where I 323 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,120 had to come home and depend upon my parents again temporarily, 324 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,560 but He brought me to my knees just like the young man in the 325 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,320 hog pen. But what I would say to you, to 326 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,520 your generation and to those generations is this, remember 327 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,200 something, we may go out there and we may experience all these 328 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,600 things and think which we think in our own what we don't need. 329 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,000 You know, we, we have this place where we really don't need God 330 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,880 anymore. You'll come to that place where 331 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,400 you find out that you do. But know this, this the same way 332 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,360 the father with the prodigal son had his hands stressed out. 333 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,960 Why? To receive his son and give him 334 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,800 another inherited because remember, he squandered his 335 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,760 person. He gave him another inheritance. 336 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,000 So it's still waiting on you. The blessings, the benefits, the 337 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,240 promises, they don't go away just because we do. 338 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,480 We just have to find our way back to Him and realize 339 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,440 everything that we were chasing after is already waiting for us 340 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000 if we go back to the One who created it for us in the first 341 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,760 place. It's really refreshing having 342 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,640 having leaders like yourself in this agent's time and you know 343 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,640 the Bible says something starting to show myself a 344 00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:29,640 Workman that be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth right 345 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,200 finances something in this generation. 346 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,000 There are way too many. OK, how fixed Christians? 347 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,800 How fixed is even good, right? We're talking about Christians 348 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,000 like steaks, right? I like my steak well done, but 349 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,960 we have medium steaks and of course you have the rare. 350 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,680 But some, some people are like even uncooked steak. 351 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,440 They go all around misrepresenting the word 352 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,960 Christianity. You know, sometimes I even feel 353 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,520 ashamed identifying as a sister. Of course, there are certain 354 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,560 people who change Christianity to like a terrorist group or 355 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840 terrorist affiliation. Yes. 356 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,520 They just toss it around and you, you don't even feel proud 357 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,600 any longer to identify Christian and people don't even realize 358 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,360 that Easternity means being Christian means Christ like. 359 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,680 Right. Somebody who goes to church a 360 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840 lot, right? I know somebody that goes to 361 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,280 church a lot. In fact, two people who have 362 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,960 actually misbehaved terribly back in recent times. 363 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,680 And there was one who was involved in an altercation with 364 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,960 another person. And I told them, you go to 365 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,840 church a lot. I, I, for a long time, you know, 366 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,120 I've not really even stepped foot in church. 367 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,440 They want to judge a person like myself saying, oh, you don't go 368 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840 to church. You're like the devil that knows 369 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,080 a lot of the Scriptures. But excuse me, but do you know 370 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,640 the Scriptures? You know what the Scripture 371 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,080 says? They come to you and tell you, 372 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,880 oh, my pastor said this. Who the hell is your pastor? 373 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 I don't care who your pastor is. I don't know who your pastor is. 374 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,280 What does Jesus say? And guess what? 375 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,280 This person was fighting with the other person. 376 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,040 And guess what this person said? The person said, I'm not going 377 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,400 to apologize, I'm going to fight. 378 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,520 OK, Excuse me. What would Jesus do in this 379 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480 situation? Guess what this person told me 380 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Jesus Christ said? An eye for an eye. 381 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,360 Excuse me, Jesus. Jesus doesn't say. 382 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,640 That was Moses, not Jesus. Right. 383 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,360 As I was like, oh, you don't go to church and you're telling me 384 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,080 what I'm like, Excuse me? Well, you can check it. 385 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,320 Just check it. You're fighting. 386 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,560 You go to church and guess what? This person told me I'm going to 387 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,520 go to church this evening and ask for forgiveness. 388 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,360 But to to know it's seeing and still do it is seeing when I 389 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,400 really started working on this platform for the Faith Filled 390 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,880 Leadership Institute and for what I do specifically where I 391 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,840 do leadership development for women through a biblical lens. 392 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,840 I did some research and just in the United States alone, there 393 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:14,280 were over there were close to 40 million women who identified 394 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,200 themselves as believers. 30% of them don't go near a church and 395 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,880 in our company, I mean, in our country, you know, right now, 396 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,680 Christianity is being weaponized. 397 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,320 And so right, so I'm your weird point of I don't, I say I'm a 398 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,000 believer. And it's, it's, you know, hard 399 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,000 to to see that there is no Christ likeness there. 400 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,200 But something that the Lord really put in my heart was this 401 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:47,160 you go be the light in the marketplace and teach them, 402 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,760 welcome them, let them come into a safe space and learn about me. 403 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,920 And then I reintroduce them to spaces where they can then can 404 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,840 go to. I'm not looking. 405 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240 I don't I don't bring in anything political. 406 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,160 I just talk about being Christ like and living for Christ. 407 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,840 And so I think though, in fact the Bible tells us what in 408 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,280 Matthews 5 it says for us to go and shine and be a light. 409 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,760 That was funny, it wasn't my mind. 410 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,640 Let your light so shine that the world sees the glory of your 411 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,240 Father within thee. My favorite, my favorite version 412 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,400 of Matthew 5 is in the Message Bible. 413 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,640 It says, let me tell you why you're here. 414 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,840 Let me tell you why you even put on this earth. 415 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,840 You'll put there to shine so that the whole world can see the 416 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,560 glory of God. And So what we tried to make 417 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,880 Christ likeness be in four with the four walls of the church 418 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,080 instead of Christ likeness being out where the whole world can 419 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,600 see us. And that includes the 420 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,360 marketplace. I mean, he said, I'm sending you 421 00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:58,600 to the highways and the byways. We're on the highway of the, the 422 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,120 Internet right now. And we're talking about the 423 00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,360 glory of God and we're talking about purpose. 424 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,840 And that's what I, I want women to understand that even in the 425 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,840 marketplace, we have a marketplace assignment. 426 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,040 I think I'm fulfilling my marketplace purpose by what I'm 427 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,000 doing. And it's all leading back to 428 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,560 shining for the glory of God, but at the same time being a 429 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,520 light to some people who will never walk in the doors of a 430 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320 church because of what they've seen there. 431 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720 We have to go out to the world and be that light and shine. 432 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,720 For him, a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 433 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,840 No one lights a candle and puts it on a bullshit. 434 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,240 I think that that that is enough food for thought, right Be that 435 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,080 letting hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church, yes. 436 00:25:54,080 --> 00:26:00,800 So if word is enough otherwise right, that you know our people 437 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,160 are white. And whether you realize it or 438 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,680 not, what you're in a marketplace ministry, although 439 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,200 although you bring different guests and they're speaking 440 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,200 different things, your life is radiating all over the world. 441 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:21,000 And that's what we have to realize exactly is that the 442 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,440 places that God puts us, their strategic. 443 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,000 I tell women all the time that that every door that God opens, 444 00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:31,320 he closes some and we couldn't we can't understand why, but 445 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,200 then he puts us in other places and the door opens and here's a 446 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,000 divine plan. And I tell people all the time 447 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,160 to make sure you're listening enough to God and not your. 448 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,960 We talked about that in Proverbs about trust the Lord with all 449 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,840 your heart. Lean not into your understanding 450 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,320 out of him and indirect your path. 451 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,680 What look, he directs our path. Sometimes we're off the we're 452 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920 off the path. So he has to close the door to 453 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,640 make a shift and go back where we are supposed to be because 454 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,480 that's where your blessings are. That's that's where your Kairos 455 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,920 moment is. That's where the doors open for 456 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,000 you is when we allow God's present Holy Spirit to speak 457 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,400 into our lives and listen instead of talking studying on 458 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,160 prayer a couple of days ago and and I shared it with one of my 459 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,720 classes and I was saying this prayers communication and that's 460 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,120 a two way St. We can't say we prayed and we 461 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,880 didn't let God talk. So were we asking to? 462 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,720 Yes, one mouth for a reason. And as you can tell, I'm a 463 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:47,880 talker, so I have to reel myself in because he wants us to hear 464 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,320 him so much, because he has so much for us that we could miss 465 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,360 if we don't listen to him. I talk about this a lot. 466 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,960 There are 4 lines of skills, 4 lines of skills, listening, 467 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:07,120 speaking, read and write them. But a lot of people focus on 468 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:11,480 just a speaker in order to be a great communicator, getting to 469 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,720 master the world and professing life myself. 470 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,760 I'm grateful and really grateful being able to master all of the 471 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,320 four skills. And when I started out, this 472 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,040 whole podcasting journey back, I'm a CPA, right? 473 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,960 I'm an economist, a finance guy. A lot of people like, what are 474 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,520 you looking for in the world of podcasting? 475 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,840 You should have been doing this but. 476 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,360 I never worked at one day. I never worked one day of my 477 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,360 life in petroleum engineering. I graduated engineering that 478 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160 that was the avenue to get me in that STEM industry. 479 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,560 I ended up working as a engineer. 480 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,480 When I did work for the government, I worked as a 481 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,720 mechanical engineer. Had nothing to do with 482 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360 petroleum. I never got to be on one oil 483 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,680 tank tanker, not one time. Let me make you. 484 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,000 Let me make you feel bad. I'm going to make you feel bad 485 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,960 now. During my time at PwC, I audited 486 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,040 oil companies and yeah, I got to be on a couple of work time. 487 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,520 I'll make you feel bad right now. 488 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,400 I'm Shield. I'm going to do this. 489 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:26,160 I'm sorry, I'm sorry I have to do this, but I think that I 490 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,840 have, I have a picture where I was, I was the oil. 491 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,440 Oil week. Yeah. 492 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,280 Wow. Yeah, be be be being at the 493 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,400 already. And I am, yes, going to do that. 494 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,120 So I felt like I missed what I was supposed to be doing. 495 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,880 But I don't think so. I think the divine connections 496 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,560 and what we learned along the way lead us to where God really 497 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,280 wants to take us next. Because yeah, that humbled me. 498 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,920 It humbled me that I say 1212 months before I actually got 499 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,560 hired as an engineer and it moved back to my hometown. 500 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,600 So a lot of times our past, it is in our hearts do certain 501 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,440 things, but they lead or they connect to other things. 502 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,880 So So here you were an accountant on an oil rig. 503 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,120 Wow. So you experiencing, you 504 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,440 experienced something that I never had a chance to do. 505 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720 And I thought, Lord, did I miss you. 506 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,160 I'm really supposed to be doing this. 507 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,680 But it was that was a place of development for me. 508 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,000 Those 12 months was a place of development and humbling for me. 509 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,240 And then in one day I went from waiting 12 months to in one day 510 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040 I was going to take some mechanical engineering courses 511 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,360 and double my major. One day, first day of class, 512 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920 gentleman walks up to me and say, Hey, don't you already have 513 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,200 an engineering degree? I'm going to bring your 514 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,680 application for the for the government and you fill it out 515 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,160 and and I'll turn it back in for you. 516 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,800 So this is that Monday of class of the first day of the week. 517 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,680 Maybe two days later, I bring it back to him. 518 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,520 The next day after me waiting 12 months, I get a telephone call. 519 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,280 Hey, can you come in for an interview? 520 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,240 I said sure. Next day go for the interview. 521 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,240 Been waiting 12 months. Remember, go in for the in and 522 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,120 they tell me, listen, we're going to send you to this 523 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,200 organization first if you don't like them. 524 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,120 Did you hear what I said? If you like them, come back. 525 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,080 We have a couple more places we can take you to and you'll have 526 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,720 the job of your choice before you leave here. 527 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,720 They got to the interviews like that. 528 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,000 So it was in that trusting in the Lord with all our heart 529 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,880 leaning not to my own understanding Now you know I've 530 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,040 been my understanding was God. I am being set up. 531 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,920 I'm waiting. I don't have a job. 532 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,920 All it is Why, Why, why, why? But he had a divine purpose in 533 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,680 it all. I didn't say that can only be 534 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,080 guarded as quite interesting. And I love what you said about 535 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880 how God closed the second doors right. 536 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,000 In other words, setting all the doors to open. 537 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,240 And that is something I only say. 538 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,880 I don't understand why you are very much aligning with my 539 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,640 philosophies. You talk about having that light 540 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,760 and talking about me in the broadcasting industry, being a 541 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,200 ministry for me. And recently I celebrated 542 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:33,640 crossing the 100 country mark and becoming global top 2%. 543 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,080 Think about it, if I stayed back in the corporate world, who 544 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,480 would know me? Who would be impacted by the 545 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,920 work that I do? I didn't know like 100 546 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,480 countries. Right. 547 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,120 And even more than that is this. How many people would have 548 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:58,200 missed a message that they needed to hear on your podcast, 549 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,880 but you weren't in place for the guests that you had and the 550 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,560 people that had that you had and your voice, you weren't in place 551 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,680 for them to hear it. That's why it's so important for 552 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,080 us as children of God to make sure we are where we're supposed 553 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,760 to be when that moment comes, because others are going to miss 554 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,520 out if we're not there. Right. 555 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,440 It's right time doing the right thing. 556 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,440 Wow. So Speaking of impact, Speaking 557 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,240 of impact, anyways, like my friend who called me just before 558 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,800 we started the recording, we had that discussion earlier today 559 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,800 about the impact, right? Me being grateful. 560 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,480 I'm very big on gratitude because I think gratitude is 561 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,760 good attitude. And I was telling them I, I feel 562 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,880 very grateful, you know, for the impact I've been able to 563 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,360 achieve. And it's really interesting. 564 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,640 I need to play this one for them. 565 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,720 But I just see. Oh, she instructs on our 566 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:05,280 conversation from Ed today. You were listening to us without 567 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,760 our permission. That's divine intervention. 568 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,080 That's I'm laughing because even our entire the meeting, the 569 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,520 conversation, all of it has been a divine intervention, 570 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,440 intervention where God just aligns where we're supposed to 571 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,520 be or as we listen, we are obedient what he's telling us. 572 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,120 So I mean, he used us so many times to make impact. 573 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,639 And many times we underestimate the impact that God wants to 574 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,600 make through us. And it's a lot of times it has 575 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,480 to do with the people who knew us growing up are the people 576 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,679 that are around us. Remember, Jesus was, you know, 577 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,000 Jesus said. A prophet is without honor in 578 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,960 his own. In his own home. 579 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:50,679 So, so many times we minimize who we really are based on our 580 00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:54,000 natural connections, because the people that we're naturally 581 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,760 connected to, like our families and our friends and the people 582 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,560 around us, they have minimized who we are not, not in a 583 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,600 purposeful, purposeful kind of way, but because they've seen us 584 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,040 in this ordinary life, They don't under or see the 585 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,600 supernatural life that God has established for us. 586 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,600 And so in these different spaces and, and you're in 100 countries 587 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,040 now they're going, wow, is this their camera? 588 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,960 Is this? Yeah, is it? 589 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,960 Is this? Is this man Joseph? 590 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,600 You know the mind. You know the one that it was 591 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,400 Joseph's, but we don't know. About that so. 592 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,040 We have to trust God in those processes of where He puts and 593 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,880 locates us because it matters. It doesn't. 594 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,200 Matter like it's the same guy I grew up with. 595 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,200 You know, I was in a place a few days ago when my husband, we 596 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,760 were at an organization for a dinner and the one of the women 597 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,800 asked, Oh yeah, she would go with me. 598 00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,040 And I thought, boy, my life is so different from when I went to 599 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,640 high school, but that's what she remembered me from. 600 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:10,120 And so so we have to constantly remind ourselves of who we are 601 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,240 in the Lord and then don't worry about what they see us as, 602 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:18,080 because when the right time comes and God has elevated us to 603 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,400 that space that he wants us to be in, he'll remind the world 604 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:26,400 for you who you are. I love that and this speaks you 605 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,840 so better. I always say that human beings, 606 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,760 people, everybody listening to this part that don't care about 607 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:40,480 what people say. What is important is who you are 608 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,720 and who God says you are. Believe in yourself and believe 609 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,320 in your God. That's what really, really 610 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000 matters. But people potentially for 611 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200 validation. I believe for validation, yeah. 612 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,480 Like a lot of people say different is about me. 613 00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,400 Like I'm tired, like I don't really care and I don't, I, I 614 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,040 try as much as possible not to let people change who I am. 615 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:10,200 Of course, if you're a kind person, yeah, people will test 616 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,400 you. That's where the God empowered 617 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,280 confidence comes in because if we try to live in our own, in 618 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,440 our own skin, in our own confidence, then we can distract 619 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,200 it or we'll we'll start to feel some sort of way about 620 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,640 ourselves. But when we allow the Holy 621 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,680 Spirit to remind us and what I call God empowered confidence, 622 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,840 man, we are, you know, it's not my business to worry about what 623 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,240 other people think. It's my business to think or the 624 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:42,000 word be concerned about what God thinks about me and who he told 625 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,800 me I was. You know, it's just like growing 626 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,320 up and and your parents and you had a question about, you know, 627 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,840 who you are and what you you would develop. 628 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,520 That's my, my, my family. I have a long lineage of 629 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,640 Macklin's in my family, my mother's side of the family. 630 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,880 And, and that was a strong lineage of women. 631 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,280 The women in our family were very strong. 632 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,440 And my grandmother only went through the 8th, the 8th grade 633 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,720 because in the United States at that time, because of the 634 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,400 desegregation and all those things, she was not able to go 635 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,720 any further than that in her education. 636 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,640 But she was one of the women who have started the 1st Girl Scout 637 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,360 Trooper organization in our city for for African American young 638 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,800 girls. And I look at that, she didn't 639 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,760 let what they thought about her stop her. 640 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,800 She knew what her mother had told her. 641 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,280 You are a Macklin and you can do this. 642 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,280 And it's the same way with us and God. 643 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,200 You are God's son. You are God's daughter and I've 644 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,480 given you the power to do this. Don't worry about what everybody 645 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,040 else is thinking about. Know who God says you are and 646 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,720 the Lord is telling us. Know who I say you are. 647 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,640 He says I say head and not to tell you on the top and not on 648 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,680 the bottom. I say you're blessed coming in 649 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,560 and going out. Everything you touch is black, 650 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,960 so why would you listen to the world? 651 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,680 Who's going to try to tell you you cannot be successful? 652 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,800 Wow, just want to like to know anytime I think about marketing, 653 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,680 I think far too big. So, but let's talk about leave, 654 00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:23,240 right? So that honestly, yeah, anytime 655 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,640 God gives you a vision, God will make a provision. 656 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,360 Right. I want you to align with that 657 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,680 statement. God gave you that vision and of 658 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,760 course, interesting you have a passion for execution of that 659 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,040 vision. So how has the journey been? 660 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,000 What have been the provisions and what's the level of impact 661 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,080 you hope to achieve? And what's the level of impact 662 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:52,360 you have achieved thus far? Well, God has told me I will 663 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,760 make provisions for the vision, so I have to trust in him 664 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,800 absolutely. Even when I look at where I am 665 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,640 now and what He's promised me that it will be, I really have 666 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,720 to trust Him in faith. I think the impact that he's 667 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:10,800 allowing me to make as I reach out to women, it is now women 668 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,440 globally. And I actually ended up, I 669 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,400 checked a message from my podcast that I just launched. 670 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,800 In September and there was a message from someone in in India 671 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,200 and it was a gentleman actually. And he said, I love the way you 672 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,080 have incorporated leadership and business along with your faith. 673 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,800 Wow. That. 674 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,520 Sounds like messages that I get as well. 675 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,760 Right. And I'm like, Oh my God. 676 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,360 So so the impact is great. And, and The thing is that as, 677 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,080 as, as I continue to be obedient, you've got to open 678 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,920 more doors. He'll tell me, OK, I've got this 679 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,200 lined up for you and this is what I'm offering you. 680 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,080 It's just like when I was sharing about the, the 90 day, 681 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,200 and I mean, 90 minute intensive that I'm going to be doing or 682 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,080 I've started to do the second one is and probably be after 683 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,240 this podcast. But The thing is when he tells 684 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:09,200 me whatever rate to give, that's what I do. 685 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,920 And I have to trust him to make up the difference. 686 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,160 But he's also promised me some corporate accounts where I'll 687 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,520 actually go into an organization and speak into the lives of the 688 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,520 women there. And so I'm not concerned. 689 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,360 I used to be more concerned about it. 690 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,960 Now it's all on trust. I mean, I'm like Peter now we 691 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,520 are out there on, we're in the water, we're walking on the 692 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,240 water. We're just going to have to not 693 00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,800 look down and just focus on the assignment. 694 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,040 And that's what I say to you. And in a lot of people out there 695 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,000 that are wanting to combine their faith with their business 696 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,160 side is focus on the assignment. Think that I will, I'll have, I 697 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,360 believe in my heart. There'll be 100,000 tuning in 698 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,240 women, tuning into women, the world in the marketplace, 699 00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,240 because that's the that's my YouTube channel. 700 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,160 Women, the word in the marketplace. 701 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:02,040 And they're going to be listening and they're going to 702 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,720 hear their father's voice and they'll start saying, OK, this 703 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,160 will work for me. This will work for me. 704 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,600 I just, I just believe the impact is there. 705 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,720 In fact, I'm going to share an experience I had with you before 706 00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:16,480 we close out. It was probably about a month 707 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600 ago. No, it's maybe maybe six weeks 708 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,800 ago now. Now, if you could tell by my 709 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,800 background behind me, this is my office and everything's in all 710 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,600 in place. And what I saw, I'm really picky 711 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,520 about certain things. And, and the night it was on a 712 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,800 Saturday night, and I had dreamed about a woman who was 713 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,720 about to make a business deal. And in the middle of her going 714 00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,640 to the deal, she knew in her heart she didn't have God's 715 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,120 peace about it, but she went anyway. 716 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,760 But when she got there, the people she's going to make the 717 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,440 deal with, it was almost like it was a shyster kind of back door 718 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,800 behind the scenes thing. And she got a revelation that 719 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,960 will not do it. And so she threw the briefcase 720 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,200 up. Money went flying everywhere and 721 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,400 she ran. And so when I woke up from the 722 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,880 dream, you know, I'm, I'm thinking about it the whole time 723 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,760 I'm getting ready for morning worship and I'm headed to our 724 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,800 church. And, you know, usually when I 725 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,320 speak online, I'm all got my little background and 726 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,240 everything's all neat. And I said, God, what do you 727 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:16,840 want me to do with this dream? I said, you want me to talk 728 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,840 about it tomorrow because no, you've got to say this now 729 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,160 because they're going to make that deal in the morning. 730 00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:29,560 So I go live in my car on Facebook and I just say, hey, I 731 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,280 don't know who I'm talking to, but there's somebody out here. 732 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,880 And I shared the experience and I said, and I shared with them 733 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,760 that that God has a plan for you, but you're, you're trying 734 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,480 to make a deal and you don't have peace about it. 735 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,840 And, and I told him about the dream and what I saw and I said 736 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,000 the Lord said it's not him. And so I went live with it. 737 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,920 Well, probably within a 24 hour period, I had three different 738 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,000 women to message me and say thank you. 739 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,280 So we don't understand impact sometimes, and sometimes we have 740 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,960 to realize our impact. Sometimes we have to choose 741 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,480 impact and obedience over the money side. 742 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,560 And the money side will catch up to us because what does it say? 743 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,960 He first the Kingdom of God. Kingdom of God and every other 744 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,400 thing shall be added unto you. He added to me. 745 00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:29,280 So if I seek His Kingdom and doing it His way and doing and 746 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,360 being obedient in my assignment, all the other things that we 747 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,800 desire, the big corporations, the employees, the people, the 748 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,160 reach is going to be added. But the key is seeking Him 749 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,320 first. So that's what live is all 750 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,320 about. So before we close, I'm going to 751 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,360 share a testimony with you as well. 752 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:56,440 So somebody sent me this. And by the way, back to that 753 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,200 same friend I was talking to, just shortly, this whole start 754 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,280 recording of that same friend told me something recently. 755 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,760 As I said, I'm going to be very, very mad at you. 756 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,240 I'm going to be very upset with you if I think what's talking 757 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,280 forecasting. You cannot afford to stop this 758 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,680 thing. This is your life. 759 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,480 This is what God has dropped you on earth to do. 760 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,360 Please don't have to think about it. 761 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,320 And the interesting thing is the very few times I've ever been 762 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,240 discouraged, you know, of course. 763 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,400 Yeah. The impact versus the income 764 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,680 thing. Right, Right. 765 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,000 Come on.
