right here in Kentucky Trail. 

7
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:36,350
You are joining us online. 
Maybe you're just so pumped to 

8
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:42,270
worship God with you today. 
Cuz I searched the world. 

9
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:53,270
And it couldn't fill me. 
And man's empty praise and 

10
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:57,150
treasures that vain were never 
enough. 

11
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:07,650
And you came along. 
And put me back together. 

12
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:15,570
And every desire is now 
satisfied. 

13
00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:26,370
Here in your love. 
Oh, there's nothing better than 

14
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:31,770
you. 
There's nothing better than you,

15
00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:32,370
Lord. 
There's nothing. 

16
00:01:36,010 --> 00:01:38,050
Nothing. 
Nothing is better than you, 

17
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:54,330
because I'm not afraid to show 
you my weakness. 

18
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:01,690
My failures and flaws, Lord, 
you've seen them all. 

19
00:02:01,930 --> 00:02:09,729
And you still call me friend, 
because the God of the Mountain 

20
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:20,260
is the God of the Valley. 
And there's not a place with 

21
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:24,540
your mercy and grace Won't find 
me again. 

22
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:33,500
Oh, there's nothing better than 
you. 

23
00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:43,020
There's nothing better than you.
Lord, there's nothing, nothing 

24
00:02:43,540 --> 00:02:50,400
is better than you. 
The sorts that I found, it's 

25
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:59,240
nothing better than you. 
It's nothing better than you. 

26
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,480
Nothing. 
Nothing is better than you. 

27
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,720
You turn morning to dancing.

00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,200
There's nothing better than you.

00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,520
There's nothing. 
Nothing is better than you. 

38
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,280

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,400
There's nothing. 
It's nothing. 

42
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:14,740
You turn graves into God, You 
turn bones into army. 

43
00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:30,980
You turn sees into highway. 
You turn graves into garden, 

44
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:35,590

You turn both into. 

45
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:36,670

46
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:41,070
So you see, you turn sees into 
highways. 

47
00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:48,870
You're the army. 
You're the army. 

48
00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:53,710
You can't. 
You're the army. 

49
00:05:54,150 --> 00:06:03,780
You can. 
Come on, you've got some place 

50
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:04,420
this morning. 
Where? 

51
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:11,140
You love. 
Him the God who does take dead 

52
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:14,900
things and turn. 
It back into life, takes their 

53
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:17,660
broken heals their heart, sets 
their feet right back on that 

54
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:20,820
solid. 
My encouragement is just don't 

55
00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:23,940
let this song just be a song and
just words that you sing. 

56
00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:27,770
And something that we just do, 
just a performance. 

57
00:06:27,770 --> 00:06:31,290
It's so much more than that, 
man. 

58
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:34,650
God is set as free. 
He is made away when there is no

59
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:36,890
way. 
When it seems insurmountable. 

60
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:40,050
God is there for you, man. 
We pressed into that. 

61
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:41,810
Lean into that today as we 
worship.

You know, we're coming off of an

118
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:58,050

With some young people down at

00:12:58,050 --> 00:13:01,930

introduce this song to you all 

120
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:03,770
that we got to sing this week at
camp. 

121
00:13:04,570 --> 00:13:06,930
And it's really, it's looking at
all these things that God is and

122
00:13:06,930 --> 00:13:10,130
all of who he says that he is, 
and then giving him the honor 

123
00:13:10,130 --> 00:13:13,170
and praise because he's worthy, 
because he's a holy God. 

124
00:13:13,170 --> 00:13:15,530
And so I hope that you'll sing 
along with us with this one.

ever sing.

could ever breathe.

above every other name.

00:18:12,930 --> 00:18:21,290
They wander and show me who you 
are and fail me with your heart 

161
00:18:21,410 --> 00:18:27,770
and leave me and your love to 
those around me. 

162
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:36,550
And only there is no one like. 
You there is none beside you. 

163
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:46,990
Open up my eyes and wander and 
show me who you are and fail me 

164
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:54,190
with your heart and leave me in 
your love to those I will build 

165
00:18:55,310 --> 00:19:01,590
my mind, I will build my life 
upon Your. 

166
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:16,780
It is a fun foundation. 
I will put my trust in new world

167
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:26,420
and I will not be shaken. 
Come on, give that some. 

168
00:19:28,090 --> 00:19:30,690
And that is right. 
What a song of surrender. 

169
00:19:31,010 --> 00:19:33,570
Giving our lives to him, 
building our lives upon his hope

170
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:36,730
and his faith and his trust. 
Wait, thank you so much for 

171
00:19:36,730 --> 00:19:39,530
joining us this morning. 
Man, we're pumped to see you. 

172
00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:42,010
We're excited to have another 
group joining us online. 

173
00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:44,730
Thank you so much for plugging 
in and tuning in to hear the 

174
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:46,610
message this morning. 
Come on, give him a big, real 

175
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:47,890
life welcome. 
Let him know you love him 

176
00:19:47,890 --> 00:19:50,850
online, man. 
That's right. 

177
00:19:50,930 --> 00:19:52,650
Well, hey, take about 30 
seconds. 

178
00:19:52,690 --> 00:19:55,290
Say hey, make somebody feel 
welcome around you and then take

179
00:19:55,290 --> 00:20:25,490
a seat. 
So cool. 

180
00:20:31,070 --> 00:20:35,510
All right, you can take a seat, 
But hey, if you are new with us,

181
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:37,070
man, you are our honored guest 
today. 

182
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:40,590
Thank you so much just for 
choosing to spend your morning 

183
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:42,510
here with us. 
And I want to invite you to go 

184
00:20:42,510 --> 00:20:44,310
ahead and grab that connection 
card. 

185
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:46,630
It's either in your seat or 
maybe you scooched it to the 

186
00:20:46,630 --> 00:20:49,230
seat next to you. 
But go ahead and feel out, as 

187
00:20:49,230 --> 00:20:51,710
much of that as you feel 
comfortable filling out. 

188
00:20:52,270 --> 00:20:54,110
And man, it would mean the world
to us if you would just check 

189
00:20:54,110 --> 00:20:57,420
that first time here box. 
And we want to connect with you 

190
00:20:57,420 --> 00:21:00,260
and help you feel welcome. 
And at home here, we don't want 

191
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,300
to do anything weird. 
Just send you a letter in the 

192
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,100
mail this week and shit you a 
text. 

193
00:21:04,340 --> 00:21:07,580
Just help you feel right at home
here at Real Life church. 

194
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,620
And if you call Real life home, 
go ahead and grab that card as 

195
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:12,500
well. 
Put your name there, check 

196
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:16,300
regularly a tent, and then hey, 
drop appraiser prayer in that 

197
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,820
prayer request section at the 
bottom. 

198
00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:20,900
And we have a whole team that 
prays over those cards and 

199
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:22,660
handwrites letters to each of 
those. 

200
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,240
Man, it would just be such a 
blessing to us to be able to 

201
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,640
pray for you this week in real 
life. 

202
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,320
Church. 
We are a church on a mission, 

203
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,320
and that mission is to see 
people far from God discover 

204
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,280
their real life and purpose in 
Jesus. 

205
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,880
And that's because souls matter 
to God. 

206
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,200
And God came for the lost and 
the broken and the messy and the

207
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,880
ones you don't have it all put 
together. 

208
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,050
Thank goodness. 
The man relationships really are

209
00:21:51,050 --> 00:21:53,570
the heartbeat of who he is. 
And that's the heartbeat of who 

210
00:21:53,570 --> 00:21:56,090
we are here at Real Life Church 
as well. 

211
00:21:56,650 --> 00:22:01,290
Well, hey, we are taking a pause
this week on AT the Movies. 

212
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:04,930
We'll be back next week for our 
final movie in that series, but 

213
00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:09,330
that's because we get to welcome
our real life youth group home 

214
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:12,570
from youth camp this week. 
That's right. 

215
00:22:12,850 --> 00:22:16,520
Let him know you love him. 
And I'm so excited just for you 

216
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080
guys to hear the stories of life
change that came out of youth 

217
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,600
camp this last week. 
And before we do that, we'll 

218
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040
welcome Carrie to the stage here
in just a few minutes. 

219
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,000
But can you give her a big, real
life? 

220
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Thank you just for leading this 
team so well, man. 

221
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,800
She shepherds the souls of our 
youth and points them right back

222
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,560
to Jesus week in and week out. 
And we just can't say thank you.

223
00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:44,650
Enough for doing that. 
And later in this gathering 

224
00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:47,410
we're going to have an awesome 
opportunity not just to pray 

225
00:22:47,410 --> 00:22:50,170
over our youth group and our 
youth team, but also to pray 

226
00:22:50,170 --> 00:22:52,770
over our Missions team that's 
heading out later this week. 

227
00:22:53,010 --> 00:22:55,890
They're traveling to Bogota, 
Colombia, and South America, so 

228
00:22:55,890 --> 00:22:58,410
we have an awesome opportunity 
to pray for them as well. 

229
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:01,650
And man, God is just up to some 
big things here at Real Life 

230
00:23:01,650 --> 00:23:03,690
Church and we're just excited to
share that with you. 

231
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:07,690
So hey, before we jump into the 
youth, check out this highlight 

232
00:23:07,690 --> 00:25:51,760
reel from camp. 
Can you guys tell we had some 

233
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,850
fun at camp? 
They all came back alive. 

234
00:25:55,890 --> 00:26:00,250
I know some of those two videos 
might say otherwise, but we had 

235
00:26:00,250 --> 00:26:03,690
an amazing time at camp and 
every year we have an awesome 

236
00:26:03,690 --> 00:26:05,450
time. 
And I know that the first thing 

237
00:26:05,450 --> 00:26:07,370
that we always talk about when 
we get back, we're heading back 

238
00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:09,290
on the bus is all the fun we 
had, right? 

239
00:26:09,530 --> 00:26:12,450
We talk about the tubing, we 
talk about Shawn's driving. 

240
00:26:12,450 --> 00:26:14,490
I think that was pretty much the
topic of a conversation the 

241
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:16,650
whole time. 
His boat driving and people were

242
00:26:16,650 --> 00:26:19,770
choosing Josh's boat because 
they wanted to stay alive, but 

243
00:26:19,770 --> 00:26:21,730
they still stayed alive on 
Shawn's, didn't they, Shawn? 

244
00:26:21,730 --> 00:26:23,210
They didn't die. 
They didn't die. 

245
00:26:23,210 --> 00:26:26,190
Nobody died. 
So it was a great time and we 

246
00:26:26,190 --> 00:26:28,870
like to focus on all the fun we 
had and we had a lot of team 

247
00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:31,070
competitions. 
We had some points, maybe the 

248
00:26:31,070 --> 00:26:32,950
pink team might have won, I'm 
not sure. 

249
00:26:33,270 --> 00:26:36,630
I'm pretty sure pink team won. 
We had some great fun, but 

250
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:39,990
ultimately we had a lot of life 
change and we had some students 

251
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:42,030
who made some decisions while we
while they were there. 

252
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:44,510
We had some students who maybe 
sets a little asset of their 

253
00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:48,510
comfort zone, learned some 
things right, which is what we 

254
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,830
hope. 
We hope that they come back, 

255
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:52,070
that they've grown a little bit,
that they've pushed maybe a 

256
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:54,150
little bit, that they've 
challenged themselves. 

257
00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:58,830
A bit as well, But before we 
even stepped foot on the bus, I 

258
00:26:58,830 --> 00:27:01,950
know for a fact that we had a 
huge army of people praying for 

259
00:27:01,950 --> 00:27:04,750
us and a huge army of people 
maybe that have been a little 

260
00:27:04,750 --> 00:27:07,350
worried about their kids but 
also really excited for them. 

261
00:27:07,550 --> 00:27:10,510
So I just wanted to start by 
talking about our amazing 

262
00:27:10,510 --> 00:27:13,070
parents that are here. 
If you're a parent, would you 

263
00:27:13,070 --> 00:27:15,750
stand up? 
I know it's Uber embarrassing, 

264
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:17,830
but yeah, stand on your feet. 
Yeah. 

265
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:19,150
Look at all these amazing 
parents. 

266
00:27:19,390 --> 00:27:23,910
Number one, they trusted me to 
take their kids to a lake. #2 

267
00:27:23,950 --> 00:27:25,510
They want the best for their 
kids. 

268
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:27,030
You guys can sit down. 
They want the best for their 

269
00:27:27,030 --> 00:27:29,750
kids and and decided to send 
them to a week of camp, which is

270
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:32,390
amazing. 
So I just wanted to say thank 

271
00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:36,630
you to you guys for #1 trusting 
us but for also allowing your 

272
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:39,110
kid to have an experience that 
hopefully they came back and 

273
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:41,350
told you a little bit about more
than just it was fine. 

274
00:27:41,550 --> 00:27:43,230
Hopefully they opened up a 
little bit for you guys. 

275
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:46,230
I also want to say a big thank 
you to our amazing youth 

276
00:27:46,350 --> 00:27:48,350
leaders. 
So if you were a youth leader 

277
00:27:48,350 --> 00:27:50,590
would you guys stand up in here?
It doesn't matter if you went to

278
00:27:50,590 --> 00:27:52,350
camp. 
I know we have Logan back in the

279
00:27:52,390 --> 00:27:54,470
AV. 
Bell, Booth, Tory's up here. 

280
00:27:55,070 --> 00:27:58,670
All of these people, whether 
they were at camp or not, have 

281
00:27:58,670 --> 00:28:02,150
had such an integral part of 
helping these students grow 

282
00:28:02,150 --> 00:28:04,830
throughout this entire year. 
Last couple of years, they've 

283
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:07,710
invested their time because they
love these kids so much. 

284
00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:10,670
So thank you from the bottom of 
my heart for all the time that 

285
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:12,870
you guys have spent not only 
praying but also spending your 

286
00:28:12,870 --> 00:28:14,990
week at camp with us, right? 
Which is awesome. 

287
00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:17,870
And then the last person I want 
to make sure we think today is 

288
00:28:17,950 --> 00:28:20,670
the big man in charge here. 
His name is Pastor Shan. 

289
00:28:20,670 --> 00:28:22,430
Be true also. 
God, he's pointing up. 

290
00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:25,510
Pastor Sean Petrie, Would you 
guys give it up for him and his 

291
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:29,150
wife Diane, who allowed us to go
right down and run their lake 

292
00:28:29,150 --> 00:28:30,870
house a little bit? 
Hopefully we didn't break 

293
00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:32,510
anything. 
Hopefully everything still 

294
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:33,950
stayed in one piece for the most
part. 

295
00:28:33,950 --> 00:28:36,350
We'll see. 
But it was a great time and we 

296
00:28:36,350 --> 00:28:40,390
had this big focus while we were
there about leadership. 

297
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:44,190
What do we do as people, as 
human beings who are trying to 

298
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:46,630
figure out what this whole life 
is about and how do we become 

299
00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:49,070
leaders God's called us to be 
and you guys want us. 

300
00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:51,350
You guys like that highlight 
camp video that we just showed? 

301
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:53,310
That was made by one of our 
teams. 

302
00:28:53,910 --> 00:28:56,350
Like, that's pretty cool, right?
So like, we have team, yeah, 

303
00:28:56,390 --> 00:28:57,710
that's Aubrey. 
You guys can give it up for 

304
00:28:57,710 --> 00:29:00,070
Aubrey. 
We have teams that are stepping 

305
00:29:00,070 --> 00:29:02,590
up in big ways because they know
the impact that they're making 

306
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:05,350
and they're sacrificing time on 
their own to make a difference. 

307
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,480
And that's exactly what we 
challenged them to do when we 

308
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,560
were at camp, was to push 
themselves, to challenge 

309
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,000
themselves, to think a little 
bit differently, to hopefully 

310
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,360
come back a little bit 
different. 

311
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560
And I wanted you all to have an 
opportunity to hear straight 

312
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,040
from them, a couple of them who 
are willing enough to not just 

313
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,160
leave me on red and ghost me, 
and texting that I was asking 

314
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,360
them to speak. 
But these two actually said yes.

315
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,720
So I want to start by welcoming 
to the stage my own daughter, 

316
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,000
Ashlyn. 
Would you guys give it up for 

317
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Ashlyn? 
She's going to come join me up 

318
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,960
here. 
And I know that, like, this may 

319
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,560
seem like an easy ask because 
she's my own kid, but being a 

320
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,440
ministry kid, it can be really 
hard. 

321
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,520
And you can kind of go through 
the motions of this is what your

322
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,080
life has been, right? 
You've been in church. 

323
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,880
This is kind of what I believe. 
This is what I do. 

324
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,840
But she really did push herself 
at this camp to do some 

325
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,240
different things, to challenge 
herself a little bit. 

326
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,480
I want you guys to hear from her
own mouth what she learned at 

327
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,960
camp. 
So would you guys give it up one

328
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:02,640
more time for Ashlyn? 
Good morning, My name is Ashton 

329
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,080
Kubly. 
I never doubted Jesus when I was

330
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,480
younger, but now that I'm older 
is a lot more easier for me to 

331
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,640
doubt. 
Most of my questions were will I

332
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,160
still go to church when I move 
out? 

333
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800
And is God real? 
I always thought if God was the 

334
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040
real God, then why were there 
different religions? 

335
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,560
But when I went to camp, most of
my questions were less 

336
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,160
concerning. 
Camp taught me a lot of things 

337
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,760
to set my goals, to pray and to 
read the Bible more. 

338
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,720
Before camp, I hated to worship 
and I would space out a lot and 

339
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,880
it felt awkward and I felt 
embarrassed. 

340
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:33,070
But now I'm trying to sing and 
raise my hands up because I 

341
00:30:33,070 --> 00:30:35,430
shouldn't be embarrassed when 
it's just between me and God. 

342
00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:40,150
We talked about having a purpose
and I think I and I used to 

343
00:30:40,150 --> 00:30:43,350
think I didn't have a purpose 
and I shouldn't be living. 

344
00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:47,590
But I feel my purpose and why I 
should be live and it is 

345
00:30:47,590 --> 00:30:50,950
spreading, spreading the word to
my friends and inviting them to 

346
00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:52,710
church. 
It is important to share the 

347
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:55,190
gospel with my friends because 
they are probably feeling like I

348
00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:57,670
am lost and confused and 
hopeless. 

349
00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:01,700
Psalms 3418 says the Lord is 
near the broken hearted and 

350
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,340
saves those who are Christian 
spirit. 

351
00:31:03,620 --> 00:31:06,500
I can be a part of helping the 
good news and I want to thank my

352
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,740
leaders for believing in me and 
not giving up on me and letting 

353
00:31:09,740 --> 00:31:12,700
me learn more about Jesus. 
I can't wait to spread the word 

354
00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:15,620
to my friends and learn more 
about Jesus in the Bible. 

355
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:20,180
Pretty awesome, right? 
Like. 

356
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,480
This is my favorite part of camp
is seeing them processing the 

357
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440
things that they went through, 
the feelings that they felt, the

358
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
emotions that they had. 
And I noticed in the video 

359
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,600
because she's my own kid, But 
did you guys notice in the video

360
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,960
there's a video of worshipping? 
And she was in the very front 

361
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,240
row with her hands raised, 
worshipping. 

362
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,760
And that would have never 
happened before that moment. 

363
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,320
And camp happens because kids 
have moments like that. 

364
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,320
They have moments at camp where 
they decide now is the time that

365
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,280
I'm going to decide to be 
different, I'm going to change, 

366
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000
I'm going to challenge myself. 
So thank you Ashlyn for sharing,

367
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,960
because I know it's kind of 
hard. 

368
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,680
To share sometimes the feelings 
that you have in front of other 

369
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,600
people, but the power that we 
have and we learned so much 

370
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,600
about leadership and how we can 
help others by sharing our own 

371
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,720
story. 
So I have one more person that I

372
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,560
want to share and she almost 
ghosted me, but she decided to 

373
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,640
say yes. 
This is our very own Alyssa 

374
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,840
Hardy. 
Would you guys give it up for 

375
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,310
Alyssa? 
So Alyssa has been with me since

376
00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:13,430
the beginning in youth ministry.
You've been together for quite a

377
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:17,670
while and we equally put up with
each other and she jokes around 

378
00:32:17,670 --> 00:32:19,150
a lot. 
But she's got a heart of gold 

379
00:32:19,150 --> 00:32:22,390
and I want you to hear really 
her story about how powerful 

380
00:32:22,390 --> 00:32:24,110
camp was for her. 
Give it up one more time for 

381
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:28,910
Alyssa. 
I'm Alyssa. 

382
00:32:30,190 --> 00:32:32,350
Kerry asked me to speak. 
So that's what this is. 

383
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:36,830
I've had questions in doubts for
a long time. 

384
00:32:37,410 --> 00:32:39,930
How do I know God exists? 
If he does exist, why should I? 

385
00:32:40,050 --> 00:32:42,850
Why should I obey him? 
I've been told since I was born 

386
00:32:42,850 --> 00:32:45,570
that Jesus died for me because 
he loves me, and I've always 

387
00:32:45,570 --> 00:32:48,050
believed it. 
But as I've grown, my doubts 

388
00:32:48,050 --> 00:32:50,210
have grown with me. 
The ways of the world seemed so 

389
00:32:50,210 --> 00:32:53,090
much better than following a God
I wasn't even sure was real. 

390
00:32:53,530 --> 00:32:55,970
I was hurting, I was lonely, and
I wanted more. 

391
00:32:56,970 --> 00:32:59,570
I've had the opportunity to go 
to two church camps this summer,

392
00:33:00,090 --> 00:33:02,650
both of which have changed my 
perspective in ways I could not 

393
00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:04,970
imagine. 
Being in a camp reminded me why 

394
00:33:04,970 --> 00:33:08,520
I exist and who created me. 
I believe in God because God 

395
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,200
believes in me. 
Since the beginning He has been 

396
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,640
faithful and with me even when I
couldn't see him. 

397
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,680
I will be God and I follow God 
because of his love. 

398
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,760
And now I get to show that love 
to everyone. 

399
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,280
I know if you asked me two 
months ago why I would get to go

400
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,040
to heaven, I wouldn't have had 
an answer. 

401
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,600
But I now know that I get to go 
to heaven because Jesus alone 

402
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,400
allows me to through His love. 
No matter how I feel, no matter 

403
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,720
my doubts, God is always there 
and always loves me. 

404
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:37,060
Because of God, I have hope. 
And because of camp, I've been 

405
00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:40,100
able to realize all this, and I 
can follow God in ways I haven't

406
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:42,860
been able to before. 
I will live my life to bring 

407
00:33:42,860 --> 00:33:45,860
glory and people to God. 
Whatever God caused me to do. 

408
00:33:46,140 --> 00:33:49,340
I have faith that I can and I 
will follow him even when my 

409
00:33:49,340 --> 00:33:51,340
faith inevitably fails. 
Because it will. 

410
00:33:51,740 --> 00:33:54,820
I know I will be able to rebuild
it again and again with the help

411
00:33:54,820 --> 00:33:56,260
of God and the leaders in my 
life. 

412
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:59,820
Because no matter where I go or 
how far I stray, He will always 

413
00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:01,460
find me because of his unfailing
love. 

414
00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:04,350
I'm confident in my face and I 
will continue to grow with him. 

415
00:34:04,990 --> 00:34:10,710
I'd like to thank Kerry Tori and
my parents plus Pink team cuz 

416
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:14,150
we're awesome and we won. 
Go pink team. 

417
00:34:15,070 --> 00:34:18,830
Isn't it awesome how different 
both of their stories were? 

418
00:34:19,350 --> 00:34:20,909
And they both are at the same 
camp, right? 

419
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:23,750
So it's like God talks to each 
and every one of these students 

420
00:34:23,750 --> 00:34:25,830
in so many different ways while 
they're they're there. 

421
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:28,110
We may be talking about the same
thing, but they're pulling these

422
00:34:28,110 --> 00:34:30,190
different things out of it based
on what they're going through, 

423
00:34:30,190 --> 00:34:32,429
the things that they need to 
hear, maybe the things that 

424
00:34:32,429 --> 00:34:34,190
they're going through have gone 
through. 

425
00:34:34,469 --> 00:34:37,550
And I love that I get a front 
row seat, and I'm sure my other 

426
00:34:37,550 --> 00:34:39,469
leaders will say the exact same 
thing, that we get a front row 

427
00:34:39,469 --> 00:34:41,429
seat to watch these kids change 
the world. 

428
00:34:42,070 --> 00:34:44,790
We get a front row seat to watch
this next generation decide to 

429
00:34:44,790 --> 00:34:47,989
step up and challenge themselves
and be different. 

430
00:34:47,989 --> 00:34:50,830
And I know for a fact that they 
came back to school, came back 

431
00:34:50,830 --> 00:34:53,110
from camp and are heading into 
school confident that they're 

432
00:34:53,110 --> 00:34:55,030
going to make waves. 
They're going to maybe talk to 

433
00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:57,590
those kids that seem unlovable. 
They're going to challenge 

434
00:34:57,590 --> 00:35:00,110
themselves to reach out to the 
people that maybe are hard to 

435
00:35:00,110 --> 00:35:02,190
like or hard to be around. 
And they're going to have 

436
00:35:02,190 --> 00:35:04,710
conversations that are hard 
because they know that that's 

437
00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:08,590
how we lead, like Jesus. 
And I want to challenge you guys

438
00:35:08,590 --> 00:35:12,050
today, the exact same thing. 
Because ultimately, aren't we 

439
00:35:12,050 --> 00:35:13,730
all just kind of growing 
teenagers? 

440
00:35:13,930 --> 00:35:16,450
I joke with that my husband has 
never really ever become a grown

441
00:35:16,450 --> 00:35:18,210
up. 
But I think that we all, in our 

442
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:22,650
own way, are all just navigating
this adulthood life still as 

443
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:25,250
kind of kids sometimes. 
And we're also going through 

444
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:27,050
things that are really 
challenging, but we can all 

445
00:35:27,050 --> 00:35:30,450
still lead with as much boldness
as they have as well. 

446
00:35:30,690 --> 00:35:34,360
And I want to challenge you. 
To go into your same life, into 

447
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,960
your workplace, into your home 
life, into your family life, 

448
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,840
your friend life, into the city 
that you live in, at the store, 

449
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,480
wherever you are, with the same 
boldness and confidence that you

450
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,400
can lead just like Jesus led. 
We talked at camp about how God 

451
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,320
has purposed us and gifted us 
all differently, right? 

452
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,040
Everybody around you is 
completely different. 

453
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,920
We all have different purposes. 
We all have different things 

454
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,160
that we're good at. 
And just like the people in the 

455
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,960
Bible, right? 
Every single one of them had 

456
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:01,400
something different that that 
they were good at. 

457
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,520
We have Moses. 
And Mary and Joseph and John the

458
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,800
Baptist, right? 
None of them were gifted alike, 

459
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,600
but they all made a huge impact 
for the Kingdom of God. 

460
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,840
And that's exactly what God has 
called us to do. 

461
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,240
To take bold steps of faith, to 
follow him, to follow his lead 

462
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,600
in our lives, even when it might
be challenging. 

463
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,960
And we talked a lot, too, about 
this idea of how it's really 

464
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,680
easy to make it about ourselves.
Isn't it really easy to make it 

465
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,680
about us from the time that we 
wake up to the time that we go 

466
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,280
to bed? 
What are we thinking about? 

467
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:36,040
How things affect us, right? 
We're trying to decide every 

468
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,640
minute of every day how 
inconvenienced or blessed or 

469
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,320
joyful or happy or sad we are 
based on the circumstances 

470
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,160
around us. 
But I wonder how different our 

471
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,280
world could look. 
Even your own home could look if

472
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,760
we decided to switch our 
perspective completely and think

473
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,430
about those around us first. 
If we led like Jesus and just 

474
00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:58,470
thinking about that person next 
to us on the bus or that person 

475
00:36:58,470 --> 00:37:01,630
standing in front of us at the 
grocery store and how their life

476
00:37:01,630 --> 00:37:04,910
might be different if they knew 
what we knew or maybe how their 

477
00:37:04,910 --> 00:37:09,590
life might be better because we 
lead our life better, These 

478
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:13,150
teenagers decided to come home 
with that exact same excitement 

479
00:37:13,390 --> 00:37:15,830
to lead. 
And I want to read a verse for 

480
00:37:15,830 --> 00:37:19,190
you because this to me is just 
exactly what God has called us 

481
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:20,710
to do. 
This is Romans chapter 12 verse 

482
00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:22,500
8. 
Says, if your gift is to 

483
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:24,420
encourage others, be 
encouraging. 

484
00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:27,460
If it's, if it is giving, give 
generously. 

485
00:37:27,660 --> 00:37:30,740
If God has given you leadership 
ability, take the responsibility

486
00:37:30,740 --> 00:37:33,220
seriously. 
And if you have a gift for 

487
00:37:33,220 --> 00:37:36,140
showing kindness to others, do 
it gladly. 

488
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,300
The thing that we all have in 
common, right, is that God 

489
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:42,020
called us to be leaders. 
The thing that we maybe don't 

490
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:44,140
have in common is exactly what 
He's gifted us with. 

491
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:47,660
But we can use those gifts and 
the talents that we have to help

492
00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:51,140
other people around us to love 
people that might be very hard 

493
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:54,740
to love, to advocate for people 
who might not have anybody, to 

494
00:37:54,780 --> 00:37:57,100
advocate for them. 
And just to really think about 

495
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,860
our day differently than we 
really are Now. 

496
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:02,420
I have a couple of quick steps 
before I have some teenagers 

497
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:05,340
join me on the stage that I can 
give you today to help to lead. 

498
00:38:05,340 --> 00:38:07,620
Like these teenagers came home 
excited to lead the 1st. 

499
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:10,060
Is this follow the leader, 
right? 

500
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:12,580
I talked about being kids again.
Like it is as simple as 

501
00:38:12,580 --> 00:38:16,480
following the leader. 
Jesus gives us the best example 

502
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,720
of what it looks like to lead 
well and to love others first 

503
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,160
before loving ourselves, doesn't
he? 

504
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,520
There's so many examples in 
scripture for us to look at on 

505
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,200
how we can lead like Him, and 
that's loving others before us, 

506
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,880
right? 
His entire life was spent loving

507
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,960
other people more than he loved 
himself. 

508
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,520
Loving others even when it's 
really hard. 

509
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,480
That is probably one of the 
hardest things I feel as an 

510
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,600
adult is loving everyone because
we all know. 

511
00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:44,130
There are people we encounter 
that are maybe not so lovable, 

512
00:38:44,130 --> 00:38:45,850
right? 
Maybe people that really get 

513
00:38:45,850 --> 00:38:48,370
under our skin. 
People that aren't like us, 

514
00:38:48,370 --> 00:38:50,650
right. 
But we can lead like Jesus by 

515
00:38:50,650 --> 00:38:53,730
leading those people well. 
The second is this, to discover 

516
00:38:53,730 --> 00:38:56,530
your gifts. 
Our church is really big into 

517
00:38:56,530 --> 00:38:58,890
discovering your gifts and the 
importance of it, and I want to 

518
00:38:58,890 --> 00:39:02,810
challenge you to lean into that.
Find a way to join Crash Course.

519
00:39:02,970 --> 00:39:05,650
Get around somebody who can help
you discover what your gifts 

520
00:39:05,650 --> 00:39:07,370
even are. 
You might be the age that you 

521
00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:09,810
are and have absolutely no idea 
what God has gifted you with. 

522
00:39:09,810 --> 00:39:12,490
Discover what those are. 
You can't really lead into your 

523
00:39:12,490 --> 00:39:14,210
full purpose unless you really 
know what that is. 

524
00:39:14,650 --> 00:39:17,050
And the last thing is this, to 
love others first. 

525
00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:20,530
Peter 4410 says this. 
God has given each of you a 

526
00:39:20,530 --> 00:39:23,320
gift. 
From his great variety of 

527
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,440
spiritual gifts, use them well 
to serve one another. 

528
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,760
These gifts are for a purpose, 
right? 

529
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,880
We can lead, we can lead by 
example. 

530
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,640
We can follow Jesus by actually 
doing the things that we're 

531
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,760
we're called to do with the 
things that He's given us. 

532
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,720
So this is my challenge to you 
today. 

533
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,200
Church. 
Go all in. 

534
00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:43,380
Right. 
Don't just go all in today and 

535
00:39:43,380 --> 00:39:46,060
forget about it. 
Decide today is the day that 

536
00:39:46,060 --> 00:39:48,100
you're going to stop thinking as
much about yourself and you're 

537
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:50,180
going to start really thinking 
about people around you and 

538
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:52,620
caring about them. 
I've encouraged these students 

539
00:39:52,620 --> 00:39:55,580
to go into their school with a 
purpose, right? 

540
00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:58,460
Their purpose is that they want 
to be the difference in their 

541
00:39:58,460 --> 00:40:01,300
school because their school 
isn't going to change unless 

542
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:02,740
they're a part of that 
difference, right? 

543
00:40:03,020 --> 00:40:04,460
Their school is not going to be 
different. 

544
00:40:04,460 --> 00:40:06,140
Those people around them aren't 
going to be different. 

545
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:07,980
Those people they complain about
aren't going to be different 

546
00:40:07,980 --> 00:40:09,580
unless they're a part of the 
change. 

547
00:40:10,170 --> 00:40:13,090
And you guys have the exact same
ability and the capacity to be a

548
00:40:13,090 --> 00:40:17,810
part of that change. 
So Speaking of change, I want 

549
00:40:17,810 --> 00:40:20,650
you guys to be able to see a lot
of that change. 

550
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:23,050
These teenagers are sitting here
in the front row, and I love 

551
00:40:23,050 --> 00:40:26,010
that you get to see them, but I 
want you to be able to see a 

552
00:40:26,010 --> 00:40:29,010
visual, almost like an 
experience of what they 

553
00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:31,530
experienced at camp. 
So I want to go ahead and invite

554
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:33,450
all of them to join me here up 
on stage. 

555
00:40:33,730 --> 00:40:35,530
And while I do that, I want to 
explain to you kind of what 

556
00:40:35,530 --> 00:40:38,130
we're doing. 
We just sang a song a little bit

557
00:40:38,130 --> 00:40:42,720
ago called Build My Life, and by
following Jesus's lead, we're 

558
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,960
building our life. 
We're asking him to build our 

559
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,320
life, to be like his life. 
And what they're coming up here 

560
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,960
to do right now is give you a 
visual representation of what 

561
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,720
that what that looks like. 
So for them, they came to camp 

562
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:58,400
with a lot of things that they 
were struggling with. 

563
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,680
You can tell by the two that 
came up here on the stage that 

564
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,400
all of those experiences are 
very different for each of them.

565
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,130
For them filling out these 
posters at camp, they have been 

566
00:41:08,130 --> 00:41:11,410
even a healing process for them 
to kind of see where God 

567
00:41:11,610 --> 00:41:14,810
actually took them through camp 
and where they are afterwards. 

568
00:41:14,970 --> 00:41:18,850
So I want you guys as we sing 
the song that talks about how 

569
00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:22,890
amazing our God is and how he 
leads the way for us to do the 

570
00:41:22,890 --> 00:41:26,090
exact same thing. 
I want you guys to read all of 

571
00:41:26,090 --> 00:41:28,370
these posters. 
I want you to see the faces of 

572
00:41:28,370 --> 00:41:31,530
these teenagers and I want you 
to read their stories. 

573
00:41:32,090 --> 00:41:34,530
And then I want you to see 
halfway through this how those 

574
00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:37,290
stories have changed as a result
of camp. 

575
00:41:37,290 --> 00:41:40,570
So I want to invite you all to 
stand and we're going to sing as

576
00:41:40,570 --> 00:41:42,370
well. 
So you guys are welcome to 

577
00:41:42,370 --> 00:41:46,410
follow along and just sing. 
Worship as big as you can with 

578
00:41:46,410 --> 00:41:48,930
these students as we decide to 
lead together. 

579
00:41:48,930 --> 00:42:17,100
Let's worship Big together. 
I will build my life upon your 

580
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:24,060
love. 
It is a firm foundation. 

581
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:37,420
I will put my trust in you 
alone, and I will not be shaken.

582
00:42:38,220 --> 00:42:45,140
I will build my life upon your 
love. 

583
00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:56,950
It is a plan foundation. 
I will put my trust in. 

584
00:42:56,950 --> 00:43:02,470
You will and I will. 
All right. 

585
00:43:02,470 --> 00:43:06,870
Let's see what God did this week
at Camp Holy. 

586
00:43:07,630 --> 00:43:13,630
There is no one like you. 
There is none beside you. 

587
00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:20,630
Open up my eyes and wander. 
Show me. 

588
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:27,480
Who you are and fell me with 
your heart and leave me. 

589
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:37,480
And your love to goes around me.
Holy, there is no one like you. 

590
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:46,640
There is none beside you. 
Open up my eyes and wander and 

591
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:52,060
show me. 
Who you are and fail me with 

592
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:59,940
your heart, and leave me and 
your love to those around me, 

593
00:44:00,260 --> 00:44:08,300
because I will build my life 
upon your love. 

594
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:17,420
It is a firm balmation and I 
will put my. 

595
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:26,960
Because then you will and I will
not be shaken. 

596
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,680
Hey, let's give him a hand. 
Come on, give it that big for 

597
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,480
the teenagers what God's doing 
in their life. 

598
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,400
Oh man, you guys have joined 
these signs. 

599
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,440
I know you guys are nervous up 
there. 

600
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,640
We should have said smile big, 
right? 

601
00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:49,750
But it's just amazing week at 
camp and I'm going to say thank 

602
00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:52,910
you to those took time out of 
their week, those who serve 

603
00:44:52,910 --> 00:44:55,470
every week with their teenagers.
To Carrie and the team. 

604
00:44:55,470 --> 00:44:57,830
Can you give it a big for them 
and let them know we love them? 

605
00:45:00,430 --> 00:45:02,910
And I love the size. 
I saw a lost and found and 

606
00:45:02,910 --> 00:45:06,230
didn't have hope. 
And I don't know man, I can hang

607
00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:08,510
out with Hayden quite a bit. 
This guy's A servant of God. 

608
00:45:08,510 --> 00:45:10,350
That's his gift to servant 
behind the scenes. 

609
00:45:10,350 --> 00:45:12,730
His boys. 
Just dude, he just falls around 

610
00:45:12,730 --> 00:45:14,450
helping out. 
And it was so cool. 

611
00:45:14,770 --> 00:45:16,330
Get connected. 
Pray with some of you guys 

612
00:45:16,330 --> 00:45:18,170
hearing your stories. 
And some of you I didn't really 

613
00:45:18,450 --> 00:45:20,810
know before went to camp and it 
was cool to see what God was 

614
00:45:20,810 --> 00:45:23,290
going to do inside your life. 
And I would encourage us as a 

615
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:25,650
church that really our mission 
is to reach the youngest 

616
00:45:25,650 --> 00:45:29,130
generation possible. 
If if we fail to reach the 

617
00:45:29,170 --> 00:45:31,730
youngest generation possible, 
we've put an expiration date on 

618
00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:34,570
the gospel and the gospel will 
stop at our address. 

619
00:45:34,970 --> 00:45:37,090
And so they do life differently.
We do right? 

620
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,120
A lot different, right? 
And the struggles and stuff are 

621
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,000
the same struggles, but there's 
different things. 

622
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,120
And the stuff that they're 
struggling is heavy. 

623
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,840
And I think Satan just has a 
kind of way, just making us feel

624
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,960
comfortable at times that we're 
at a time of peace. 

625
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,200
And there's not really a battle,
but there really is a battle 

626
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,680
ration for souls. 
And when you're around 

627
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,920
teenagers, see what they're 
struggling with, I'm just 

628
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,440
telling you, they need to be 
praying for these teens. 

629
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,400
Amen. 
I mean, if you're a parent of a 

630
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,520
teen, you know, like, man, it's 
just so much different than when

631
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,000
we were teens. 
And the stuff that's in their 

632
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,440
face and what they're struggling
with, Same struggles, but just. 

633
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:08,580
The vehicles are so much 
stronger and the weapons are 

634
00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:10,460
strong. 
And so I want to encourage you 

635
00:46:10,460 --> 00:46:14,380
guys that when I was 18, I 
surrendered at a camp as much 

636
00:46:14,380 --> 00:46:16,900
like this camp, a little 
different but same spirit of 

637
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:18,740
God. 
And I surrendered at whatever 

638
00:46:18,740 --> 00:46:21,060
God had and just I didn't know 
what that would look like in my 

639
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:22,660
life. 
But the time I knew I was just 

640
00:46:22,660 --> 00:46:25,500
going to say, okay God, you have
my life and what it looked like 

641
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:27,460
is really my heart started to 
match the heart of God. 

642
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:30,940
Like I started seeing a little 
bit how God saw and that's just 

643
00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:33,420
where you want to be at. 
There's things you saw this week

644
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,980
at camp, those things that God 
was put in your heart, you guys.

645
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,800
Wrote these signs I would 
encourage me to drive a stake in

646
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,120
your life. 
Like don't ever let that go. 

647
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,120
Like to hold on to the things of
God. 

648
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,400
Hold on things that he's shown 
you. 

649
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,800
And you start seeing people. 
Like God sees people. 

650
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,040
The bigger now you really start 
seeing yourself the way God sees

651
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,720
you. 
And you guys talk about being 

652
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:51,960
depressed and all these things 
you guys struggle with. 

653
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:53,600
You replace that with the spirit
of God. 

654
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,640
That thanks to Christ and our 
church is behind you. 

655
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,720
We love them, don't we? 
Guys, come on. 

656
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:01,680
You're not alone. 
And so. 

657
00:47:02,090 --> 00:47:04,650
I would encourage you to just go
all in for Jesus. 

658
00:47:04,650 --> 00:47:07,850
And I saw one down there, 
Audrey, highly reading the 

659
00:47:07,850 --> 00:47:09,770
Bible. 
It was awesome. 

660
00:47:09,770 --> 00:47:11,210
They brought the Bible to the 
camp and they're like, hey, 

661
00:47:11,210 --> 00:47:13,730
everyone turned to and it was 
like judges or something. 

662
00:47:13,730 --> 00:47:16,450
They're like, where is it at? 
It was just like, yeah, we'll 

663
00:47:16,450 --> 00:47:18,570
show them, right? 
And so it's just cool to get in 

664
00:47:18,570 --> 00:47:20,290
the word of God and the Holy 
Spirit around you guys. 

665
00:47:20,450 --> 00:47:23,210
Well, I'll do something very 
special and just a prayer with 

666
00:47:23,210 --> 00:47:25,050
these guys. 
It was easy to pray into events,

667
00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:27,850
easy to pray in the camp and 
into those things in our lives. 

668
00:47:27,850 --> 00:47:31,010
You know, big decisions. 
But it's very rare that people 

669
00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:33,170
go back and say thanks and they 
pray out of it. 

670
00:47:33,170 --> 00:47:35,050
I think it's just important to 
pray out of his into it. 

671
00:47:35,290 --> 00:47:37,090
I think about the 10 lepers, 
right? 

672
00:47:37,090 --> 00:47:40,170
They're all touched by Jesus. 
They're all healed by Jesus, all

673
00:47:40,170 --> 00:47:42,490
changed by Jesus. 
They all were transformed by 

674
00:47:42,610 --> 00:47:44,650
Jesus. 
Only one of them came back and 

675
00:47:44,650 --> 00:47:47,010
said thank you. 
And so today is really our time 

676
00:47:47,050 --> 00:47:50,210
to just get around to these 
teens and say thank you, Jesus, 

677
00:47:50,490 --> 00:47:52,890
for changing their life. 
I I won't be like the the Thai 

678
00:47:52,890 --> 00:47:54,610
church has 10 lepers that go 
back to Jesus. 

679
00:47:54,610 --> 00:47:55,750
Amen. 
I don't. 

680
00:47:55,750 --> 00:47:57,190
I don't be like the one or the 
two I want. 

681
00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:58,390
I want all of us to be part of 
this. 

682
00:47:58,390 --> 00:47:59,750
And so I'm going to invite our 
teenagers. 

683
00:47:59,990 --> 00:48:02,150
You guys are kind of working way
down the stairs, not killing 

684
00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:04,390
each other. 
Come on and come across the 

685
00:48:04,390 --> 00:48:07,390
front, down the aisle over here,
just kind of spread out. 

686
00:48:07,870 --> 00:48:10,230
I want you to spend some time 
just praying for our teenagers. 

687
00:48:10,510 --> 00:48:12,470
And maybe you're like, I don't 
know what to say. 

688
00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:14,710
I don't know what to do. 
You saw their sign. 

689
00:48:14,950 --> 00:48:16,990
So you just go up to them, put 
your arm around them and say, 

690
00:48:16,990 --> 00:48:19,630
man, tell them about your sign. 
And just thank Jesus, you did 

691
00:48:19,630 --> 00:48:22,270
some work in the life. 
You can fill them up here too. 

692
00:48:22,270 --> 00:48:24,870
Don't be shy up here. 
So they're all going to the back

693
00:48:24,870 --> 00:48:26,790
to run the way. 
But you you can. 

694
00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:28,710
You can filling up here. 
But I would encourage you. 

695
00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:31,350
Maybe you're a parent. 
Maybe you're a grandparent, 

696
00:48:31,350 --> 00:48:33,270
friend of the family. 
Maybe you don't know anybody. 

697
00:48:33,630 --> 00:48:36,150
Maybe you're new to our church. 
Like, what's going on if you're 

698
00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:37,670
a Christian? 
In Jesus' fault, Man, you guys 

699
00:48:37,710 --> 00:48:39,790
all left the middle blank. 
And we'll go back this way. 

700
00:48:40,110 --> 00:48:40,910
Come on now. 
You can do it. 

701
00:48:40,910 --> 00:48:41,950
Don't be scared. 
Don't be. 

702
00:48:42,070 --> 00:48:43,910
You can do it. 
Oh, you already spoke. 

703
00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:45,310
So you can do it. 
Come on now. 

704
00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:48,150
And so we had some space. 
But I would encourage you get 

705
00:48:48,150 --> 00:48:49,830
around some teenagers. 
Pray for him. 

706
00:48:50,070 --> 00:48:51,350
I would invite you to start 
moving out. 

707
00:48:51,350 --> 00:48:52,950
If that's you. 
Just find a teenager, Put your 

708
00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:54,590
arm around him. 
Just start praying for him. 

709
00:48:55,050 --> 00:48:56,890
You'll find somebody I want to 
be praying alone. 

710
00:49:23,490 --> 00:48:58,210
They're not alone. 
I would encourage you mean just 

711
00:48:58,730 --> 00:49:02,050
you can pray as I'm talking but 
speak a word in their life. 

712
00:49:02,770 --> 00:49:05,250
See, say say that you see 
something in their life. 

713
00:49:05,250 --> 00:49:07,450
You see some potential. 
Maybe you can pray over them and

714
00:49:07,730 --> 00:49:09,650
and pray for them not to be what
you did right. 

715
00:49:10,370 --> 00:49:12,610
Maybe you can share with them a 
little bit of your story. 

716
00:49:13,050 --> 00:49:14,250
Love. 
Know you're behind them. 

717
00:49:14,450 --> 00:49:18,450
Love know that God is is a sure 
bet that this church is around 

718
00:49:18,450 --> 00:49:21,450
them and cares for them, that 
they can be the tip of the spear

719
00:49:21,450 --> 00:49:26,410
that they can go out and buy. 
Maybe you can make a friend with

720
00:49:26,410 --> 00:49:28,250
them and let them know every 
week you're going to care for 

721
00:49:28,250 --> 00:49:30,370
them and pray for them. 
Maybe you can be the kind of 

722
00:49:30,370 --> 00:49:32,130
person that's just going to 
accelerate their faith. 

723
00:49:32,130 --> 00:49:34,090
And I was a teenager. 
There's a man in my life. 

724
00:49:34,410 --> 00:49:36,530
I don't know what you saw in me.
And he said, Sean, whatever 

725
00:49:36,530 --> 00:49:38,410
happens, I'll never let you fail
for Christ. 

726
00:49:38,770 --> 00:49:40,530
He was the kind of guy that gave
the shroff his back. 

727
00:49:40,530 --> 00:49:42,890
He ended up giving me vehicles 
and all sorts of stuff. 

728
00:49:42,930 --> 00:49:45,530
I never asked for a dime from 
this man, and he would not let 

729
00:49:45,530 --> 00:49:47,770
me fail in my faith. 
And what these young people 

730
00:49:47,770 --> 00:49:49,330
need, they need spiritual dads 
and moms. 

731
00:49:49,330 --> 00:49:51,450
Amen. 
Not just their parents, but any 

732
00:49:51,450 --> 00:49:53,530
people in their life that say, 
you know, I see God moving in 

733
00:49:53,530 --> 00:49:55,240
you. 
And people that care for them 

734
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:56,680
and believe in them. 
So I would encourage you. 

735
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,600
I mean get serious in this 
prayer time. 

736
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,560
We're going to take about 3 or 4
minutes and just if you're still

737
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,720
in your seat you don't feel 
comfortable. 

738
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:04,480
Just pray you're at. 
I would encourage you man. 

739
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,640
If you know Jesus, your savior, 
man, get out here and pave the 

740
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,800
way, right? 
You think about the armor of God

741
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,440
and Ephesians and you put all 
this armor on for these kids in 

742
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,880
this week and this shield of 
faith and storm of the spirit. 

743
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,520
But when they got the armor on, 
what'd they do? 

744
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:21,320
You guys remember what they did?
Come on, this layup, they 

745
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,390
prayed, right? 
And that's what we get to do. 

746
00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:25,710
We get to pray today in the 
spirit of God. 

747
00:50:25,710 --> 00:50:28,190
And so this may be the really 
the highlight of can't for them 

748
00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:30,790
is that maybe their parents came
down today and say, you know 

749
00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:31,990
what? 
I see you when guys do your 

750
00:50:31,990 --> 00:50:33,350
life, and I need that in my 
life. 

751
00:50:33,390 --> 00:50:36,270
So you guys came day for the 
first time because your kid said

752
00:50:36,270 --> 00:50:38,430
you need to come to church 
today, come go on stage. 

753
00:50:38,790 --> 00:50:40,630
And today maybe you're like, 
man, there's something to this. 

754
00:50:40,830 --> 00:50:42,550
And so I would encourage you, 
man, to spend some time praying 

755
00:50:42,550 --> 00:50:44,830
and I'll pray out of it. 
But just get together and let's 

756
00:50:44,830 --> 00:50:45,670
lead the way. 
Amen. 

757
00:51:59,620 --> 00:52:02,780
Father would come before you, 
God, we play a blessing on what 

758
00:52:02,780 --> 00:52:05,180
your holy spirits do. 
And God, that these aren't the 

759
00:52:05,180 --> 00:52:07,180
leaders of tomorrow, these 
leaders of today. 

760
00:52:07,660 --> 00:52:10,260
And I pray that they would just 
find newfound faith in you. 

761
00:52:10,380 --> 00:52:12,980
God, that they would just be 
moved by you and God, that even 

762
00:52:12,980 --> 00:52:15,740
those nights of worship you're 
just speaking in the Holy Spirit

763
00:52:15,740 --> 00:52:17,700
is moving across that place. 
God, I pray to save you. 

764
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:20,260
Just a reminder through these 
songs that that you are true, 

765
00:52:20,660 --> 00:52:23,420
that your words are true, that 
there is a a sure bet. 

766
00:52:23,420 --> 00:52:26,320
God, there's absolute truth. 
That they can build their life 

767
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,120
on you. 
That you're a sure foundation. 

768
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,320
So today I pray for these young 
people to rise up out of the 

769
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,480
pits of depression and 
discouragement and fear and 

770
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,200
anxiety and worry and all the 
struggles that this generation 

771
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,080
got. 
And they just rise up on faith. 

772
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,360
They'll be built on the word of 
God. 

773
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,680
And so I pray that this 
generation be marked by prayer. 

774
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,600
That there be a Bible that moves
across the really not just our 

775
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,080
church, but through their 
schools and through the hallways

776
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,850
gotten their families and. 
Like my family God, many of them

777
00:52:52,850 --> 00:52:55,690
didn't know Jesus. 
And so I pray that today that 

778
00:52:55,690 --> 00:52:58,290
maybe they're the first 
generation Christian and their 

779
00:52:58,290 --> 00:53:00,650
family God that begins to live 
for you got to pray for faith 

780
00:53:00,650 --> 00:53:03,650
for our leaders that. 
I just been so faithful to 

781
00:53:03,650 --> 00:53:06,770
serving our young people week in
and week out behind the scenes, 

782
00:53:06,770 --> 00:53:09,610
just doing, doing work. 
God that many people don't see 

783
00:53:09,610 --> 00:53:10,370
for the Kingdom. 
God. 

784
00:53:10,370 --> 00:53:12,290
So I pray for maybe not to get a
full hold. 

785
00:53:12,290 --> 00:53:13,970
You got to pray for 
encouragement that there would 

786
00:53:13,970 --> 00:53:17,130
be a rid of bareness or any 
discouragement in our team God 

787
00:53:17,130 --> 00:53:19,410
that they would just realize why
they're doing this, that the 

788
00:53:19,410 --> 00:53:22,530
payoff is souls being changed. 
Got to pray that these young 

789
00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:25,130
people begin to see themselves 
as you see them God. 

790
00:53:25,130 --> 00:53:28,330
That they would see themselves 
as whole and forgiven and chosen

791
00:53:28,410 --> 00:53:31,850
and gifted, and that there's the
hand or the hand of God and. 

792
00:53:31,930 --> 00:53:34,250
Just a vessel. 
An empty vessel for you God. 

793
00:53:34,250 --> 00:53:35,770
So pray you, pour this 
generation out. 

794
00:53:35,850 --> 00:53:39,850
It's really just an offering God
to the nations to point people 

795
00:53:39,850 --> 00:53:41,450
to you. 
God, pray you to send people out

796
00:53:41,450 --> 00:53:44,010
of this group. 
Back into their homes and to 

797
00:53:44,010 --> 00:53:45,930
their. 
Families and to places maybe 

798
00:53:45,930 --> 00:53:47,490
they work or serve or sports 
teams. 

799
00:53:47,490 --> 00:53:49,980
God, just to make much of you. 
And I pray they'd be marked 

800
00:53:49,980 --> 00:53:51,780
different. 
They walk in the world but not 

801
00:53:51,780 --> 00:53:53,780
be of the world. 
So got to pray for just a 

802
00:53:53,780 --> 00:53:57,300
blessing on this generation that
we see this generation rise up 

803
00:53:57,300 --> 00:53:59,300
even more than our generation. 
God for you. 

804
00:53:59,300 --> 00:54:01,740
And so God, I pray for those 
that have poured in them. 

805
00:54:01,740 --> 00:54:03,980
I pray blessing on them, my 
blessing on what you've done 

806
00:54:03,980 --> 00:54:06,380
this camp. 
I bring your your mind into. 

807
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:08,500
The things in Christ that we've 
learned there. 

808
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:11,020
That we can look back at the 
word of God and know this is 

809
00:54:11,260 --> 00:54:13,420
what it's all about. 
And for those of us that maybe 

810
00:54:13,980 --> 00:54:16,540
are looking to pour in God, I 
pray that we see this generation

811
00:54:16,540 --> 00:54:19,360
as a generation full of. 
Full of freedom and hope that we

812
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,520
could pour into and that they 
would be just willing vessels 

813
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,480
like Timothy and Titus and those
in the faith that just open 

814
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,480
their hearts to you. 
So got to pray for a brokenness 

815
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,600
in this place today. 
Got to only come through your 

816
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,680
spirit. 
So got to pray for something to 

817
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:33,680
change in our lives. 
Got we would go back to the same

818
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,920
routine, the same methods. 
God we'd go back to you and so 

819
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,480
got to pray for your spirit to 
have freedom in our lives. 

820
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,080
Got to pray we'd empty 
ourselves. 

821
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,800
God that we would just be make 
much of you. 

822
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,880
That you would increase and that
we would decrease. 

823
00:54:46,430 --> 00:54:49,670
And so God, I pray that the name
of Jesus would be forever 

824
00:54:49,670 --> 00:54:51,750
changed. 
God and just pointed to you in 

825
00:54:51,750 --> 00:54:54,550
the next generations God. 
Maybe this is that moment for 

826
00:54:54,550 --> 00:54:56,950
somebody today when you call 
them surrender. 

827
00:54:57,430 --> 00:55:00,390
You call them to die themselves.
You call them to put some things

828
00:55:00,390 --> 00:55:03,390
to death or life that just look 
nothing like you, and that today

829
00:55:03,390 --> 00:55:06,690
they rise up with boldness. 
To share the gospel. 

830
00:55:07,050 --> 00:55:09,610
To to stay no to the things the 
world that does that look 

831
00:55:09,610 --> 00:55:12,170
towards you for their faith and 
encouragement, their peace. 

832
00:55:12,610 --> 00:55:14,970
So God, I pray this generation, 
God would be the generation 

833
00:55:14,970 --> 00:55:17,170
you're going to use God to reach
our nation. 

834
00:55:17,330 --> 00:55:20,210
God to turn people back to you 
and God to pray your blessing on

835
00:55:20,210 --> 00:55:21,570
today. 
God bless our families. 

836
00:55:21,610 --> 00:55:24,530
God bless our church and God. 
Use these teenagers the mighty 

837
00:55:24,530 --> 00:55:25,850
way for you and pray in Jesus 
name. 

838
00:55:26,730 --> 00:55:28,970
Amen. 
Come on, give it up for what 

839
00:55:28,970 --> 00:55:30,090
guys doing today. 
Come on. 

840
00:55:33,860 --> 00:55:35,620
Man, it's exciting. 
I would encourage you guys just 

841
00:55:35,620 --> 00:55:37,700
find the closest seat. 
You don't have to go all the way

842
00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:39,820
back to all the things, but just
find the closest seat. 

843
00:55:39,820 --> 00:55:41,980
We're going to do something 
special the rest of this 

844
00:55:41,980 --> 00:55:43,460
morning. 
It's going to be the most 

845
00:55:43,460 --> 00:55:45,700
eclectic Sunday morning in the 
history of our church. 

846
00:55:45,940 --> 00:55:49,220
And so we're going to just do 
some business and we've got a an

847
00:55:49,220 --> 00:55:52,300
awesome group of people that are
heading out of town across the 

848
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:54,980
world on a mission trip to 
Colombia, Bogota, Colombia, 

849
00:55:54,980 --> 00:55:57,260
South America, this coming 
Saturday. 

850
00:55:57,780 --> 00:56:00,060
Bright in the morning early. 
It's not bright. 

851
00:56:00,060 --> 00:56:01,740
It's just dark, right? 
It's not. 

852
00:56:02,050 --> 00:56:04,610
Yeah, not even gonna go to bed, 
you know, Friday to Saturday, 

853
00:56:04,610 --> 00:56:05,930
right? 
But I want to invite our 

854
00:56:05,930 --> 00:56:07,650
missions team up. 
If you're on that team, would 

855
00:56:07,650 --> 00:56:10,450
you come up here to the front? 
Just make your way up, kind of 

856
00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:12,170
spread out up front. 
Look at this crew. 

857
00:56:12,450 --> 00:56:13,770
Nice. 
Come on. 

858
00:56:18,090 --> 00:56:20,250
Nice. 
Dude, this is awesome. 

859
00:56:20,250 --> 00:56:22,970
So Dennis and Judy, look at you 
guys. 

860
00:56:24,660 --> 00:56:26,980
Because we're old. 
You're never too old for Jesus, 

861
00:56:26,980 --> 00:56:28,300
but there's a breath in your 
lungs. 

862
00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:30,300
Dennis, I'm. 
I came on the trip because 

863
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:31,980
Dennis is like, man, I need 
somebody to protect me. 

864
00:56:31,980 --> 00:56:33,620
And he looked at Logan and 
thought that guy's a little 

865
00:56:33,620 --> 00:56:38,220
scrawny And then not really. 
Oh, man. 

866
00:56:38,220 --> 00:56:41,460
But I would encourage you guys. 
This is really the heartbeat of 

867
00:56:41,460 --> 00:56:43,060
the gospel just living on a 
mission. 

868
00:56:43,060 --> 00:56:46,020
I want to have. 
Diane shares a few words of what

869
00:56:46,020 --> 00:56:48,220
the trip's going to look like, 
what's going to happen, what 

870
00:56:48,220 --> 00:56:49,860
we're participating, God's going
to do. 

871
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:51,580
And so just maybe share a little
bit about that. 

872
00:56:51,580 --> 00:56:53,340
So give it from wife Diane. 
Love her. 

873
00:56:55,020 --> 00:56:56,220
Thanks. 
Hey, Dennis. 

874
00:56:56,980 --> 00:56:59,460
No, I'm super excited. 
This is our second year back to 

875
00:56:59,460 --> 00:57:01,580
Bogota, Colombia. 
We went last summer and we're 

876
00:57:01,580 --> 00:57:04,580
going to the same place. 
And the reason for that is 

877
00:57:04,580 --> 00:57:08,060
because the primary goal and 
mission of what we're doing is 

878
00:57:08,060 --> 00:57:10,740
that we have mission partners 
who are doing a lot of the same 

879
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:12,780
things that we're doing here, 
trying to reach their city, 

880
00:57:12,780 --> 00:57:14,820
trying to reach the World for 
Jesus. 

881
00:57:14,820 --> 00:57:16,820
And we get to be a part of 
helping to encourage. 

882
00:57:16,820 --> 00:57:19,900
There's a discipleship school 
that actually takes young people

883
00:57:19,900 --> 00:57:22,140
who have just graduated from 
high school, and it's helping to

884
00:57:22,140 --> 00:57:23,860
build them up as leaders for 
Christ. 

885
00:57:23,940 --> 00:57:26,540
To go into the workforce, to go 
maybe into the ministry, 

886
00:57:26,620 --> 00:57:29,500
whatever God's calling them to, 
but as leaders for Christ in 

887
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,020
their community. 
And so we get to encourage not 

888
00:57:32,020 --> 00:57:34,620
only them and those students who
are doing that, but what's 

889
00:57:34,620 --> 00:57:37,500
really on our heart is those 
leaders who are working in the 

890
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:39,740
ministry day in and day out. 
They're doing the cause of 

891
00:57:39,740 --> 00:57:41,260
Christ. 
And it's our job that we get to 

892
00:57:41,260 --> 00:57:44,420
go and encourage them to build 
them up, to love on them and 

893
00:57:44,420 --> 00:57:47,220
just really to encourage their 
heart as they're doing those 

894
00:57:47,220 --> 00:57:49,020
things. 
We also get to jump in. 

895
00:57:49,020 --> 00:57:53,540
There is a church plant called 
Conviva Norte and it is in the 

896
00:57:53,540 --> 00:57:55,980
Northern. 
Part of Bogota and they are a 

897
00:57:55,980 --> 00:57:58,580
church plant just like us. 
They, you know, go in and set up

898
00:57:58,580 --> 00:58:01,220
and do all the different things 
to reach their community, reach 

899
00:58:01,220 --> 00:58:03,940
their city with the gospel. 
And they actually live in a 

900
00:58:03,940 --> 00:58:06,900
really unique part of town that 
has a lot of Venezuelan 

901
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:08,660
refugees. 
And so it's on their heart to 

902
00:58:08,660 --> 00:58:11,700
reach people who have been 
through a lot of really hard and

903
00:58:11,700 --> 00:58:14,340
challenging things in their life
of just being, you know, ripped 

904
00:58:14,340 --> 00:58:16,420
from their home because of 
violence and different things. 

905
00:58:16,420 --> 00:58:19,700
And so we get to go also and 
encourage the pastor and his 

906
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:22,340
wife and the church staff and 
the people who are leading every

907
00:58:22,340 --> 00:58:25,420
week just the same as we do. 
And so it's a really cool way to

908
00:58:25,420 --> 00:58:27,300
be able to connect with what God
is doing. 

909
00:58:27,300 --> 00:58:29,220
And what we'll do is different 
stuff. 

910
00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:31,460
The first thing we'll do is 
whatever they ask us to do, 

911
00:58:31,580 --> 00:58:33,580
whatever they need help with, 
whatever is an encouragement to 

912
00:58:33,580 --> 00:58:35,540
them we're willing and ready to 
jump in. 

913
00:58:36,180 --> 00:58:39,420
And do that to work with some 
kids ministry there to maybe get

914
00:58:39,420 --> 00:58:41,620
to help out with their youth 
ministry, to help invite people 

915
00:58:41,620 --> 00:58:44,060
to church to help serve on 
Sunday morning with their church

916
00:58:44,060 --> 00:58:46,460
as well. 
So I'm really looking forward to

917
00:58:46,620 --> 00:58:48,820
what we'll be able to do to 
encourage the heart of the 

918
00:58:48,820 --> 00:58:50,780
people there. 
But I'm always looking forward 

919
00:58:50,780 --> 00:58:53,300
to what God is going to do in 
our hearts as well. 

920
00:58:53,460 --> 00:58:55,740
I've been on a lot of missions, 
trips over the years and I know 

921
00:58:55,740 --> 00:58:58,380
that some of our people, a lot 
of our people have not been on 

922
00:58:58,380 --> 00:59:00,900
many missions trips. 
So it's always fun and a joy to 

923
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:03,900
take people across the world 
because you really get this 

924
00:59:03,900 --> 00:59:06,060
picture that sometimes it can 
feel like church is. 

925
00:59:06,180 --> 00:59:09,220
Just what we do here at Kentucky
Trail, But what you see when you

926
00:59:09,220 --> 00:59:13,020
go across the world is that God 
is big and he is working all 

927
00:59:13,020 --> 00:59:15,700
over the world. 
And as personal as he is to work

928
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:18,540
in one person's life, he can 
take that and magnify it across 

929
00:59:18,540 --> 00:59:20,500
the world. 
So we get to open our eyes a 

930
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:22,460
little bit to the work of a 
really big God. 

931
00:59:22,460 --> 00:59:24,940
And I know I always leave 
changed and inspired to see the 

932
00:59:24,940 --> 00:59:26,980
faith of other believers across 
the world. 

933
00:59:27,260 --> 00:59:30,620
God challenges my faith, He 
fills up my cup, and it's really

934
00:59:30,620 --> 00:59:33,340
fun to be able to do that along 
with some awesome people like 

935
00:59:33,340 --> 00:59:34,900
this. 
So I'm excited to see how God is

936
00:59:34,900 --> 00:59:37,260
going to move in our hearts. 
That's how he's going to allow 

937
00:59:37,260 --> 00:59:40,420
us to serve and just encourage 
the workers there that we 

938
00:59:40,420 --> 00:59:43,260
support. 
All right, so give it up for 

939
00:59:43,260 --> 00:59:44,540
Diane. 
Saw a few hands over there. 

940
00:59:46,780 --> 00:59:48,060
Everybody's wants to know what 
are you gonna do? 

941
00:59:48,060 --> 00:59:49,500
What are you gonna do? 
How was the food? 

942
00:59:49,780 --> 00:59:51,380
You know? 
Did you guys get sick? 

943
00:59:51,420 --> 00:59:53,700
You know, was it weird? 
You know what was the craziest 

944
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:55,860
thing? 
It is all these stories, right. 

945
00:59:55,860 --> 00:59:57,540
And I want to just do a survey 
real quick. 

946
00:59:57,540 --> 00:59:59,140
How many guys have been on the 
missions trip before? 

947
00:59:59,140 --> 01:00:00,540
Like, cross cultural missions 
trip? 

948
01:00:00,660 --> 01:00:03,340
Put those hands high. 
Okay. 

949
01:00:03,340 --> 01:00:04,760
So. 
A few of you, right? 

950
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,040
Five or six of you out there. 
And then how how many you guys 

951
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:08,640
have not been on a missions 
trip? 

952
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,920
This is like Newbyville, right? 
All right, Perfect. 

953
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,080
So now you have to pray for, 
right? 

954
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,240
Managed expectation. 
But I would encourage you. 

955
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,680
You might sit there today. 
You go, wow, I I wish I could. 

956
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,840
I don't have the finances or I 
feel like I could make a 

957
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,120
difference. 
Or what is this? 

958
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,160
Or I would never go. 
I get. 

959
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,920
I get that all the time. 
You know, Holly told me she'd 

960
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,640
never be on church staff. 
Come on, somebody, right? 

961
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,360
She smiled. 
If you're saying no, it means 

962
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,080
God's asking, come on, somebody.
Right? 

963
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,560
Because you had to say no to or 
something. 

964
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,920
And so I would encourage you 
maybe like you're like, hey man,

965
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,120
I'm not sure this and this. 
I would encourage you to be open

966
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:40,720
to what God has for you. 
I want to talk about why 

967
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,560
ambitions like why are we even 
doing this. 

968
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,080
Like dying can give a little bit
of what. 

969
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,760
And that's really kind of the 
smaller piece that the bigger 

970
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,880
picture is, is why. 
And so I think it back to just 

971
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,960
amazing verse that Jesus has and
it's John 2021. 

972
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,720
And Jesus says, just the Father 
sent me. 

973
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,460
So I'm sending you. 
And you think about who Jesus 

974
01:00:57,460 --> 01:00:58,980
is. 
He's sitting on the throne of 

975
01:00:58,980 --> 01:01:01,020
heaven. 
He's surrounded by all glory, 

976
01:01:01,020 --> 01:01:02,860
all power, all majesty. 
He's chaired. 

977
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:04,820
He's worship, all, all, 
everything. 

978
01:01:04,820 --> 01:01:07,780
It's like the perfect place and 
all eternity and all the things.

979
01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:10,980
And his Father says, I'm going 
to send you probably to the 

980
01:01:10,980 --> 01:01:12,540
worst neighborhood in the 
universe. 

981
01:01:12,540 --> 01:01:15,740
Come on, somebody. 
It's full of sin and brokenness,

982
01:01:15,740 --> 01:01:17,340
but I'm trying to reach these 
people. 

983
01:01:17,580 --> 01:01:21,460
And so Jesus humbles himself, He
empties himself, He wraps 

984
01:01:21,460 --> 01:01:25,260
himself in humanity, He strips 
himself of all this glory and 

985
01:01:25,260 --> 01:01:28,980
all these things and all these 
worship, and becomes a baby, an 

986
01:01:28,980 --> 01:01:33,700
innocent baby in a Manger and 
really at the hands of humanity.

987
01:01:34,020 --> 01:01:37,820
And since his birth, he's been 
hunted down his entire life, try

988
01:01:37,820 --> 01:01:40,620
to be killed by religious 
leaders and by leaders of 

989
01:01:40,620 --> 01:01:42,890
nations. 
And he ends up living a life for

990
01:01:42,890 --> 01:01:46,610
us and dying on a not just any 
death, but death of a cross. 

991
01:01:46,770 --> 01:01:48,250
And he humbled himself to that 
point. 

992
01:01:48,410 --> 01:01:50,170
And you think about, here's 
Jesus saying, hey, just as the 

993
01:01:50,170 --> 01:01:54,450
father sent me, I'm sending 
anyway, preach that message, 

994
01:01:54,450 --> 01:01:56,210
right? 
Like you're you're being sent 

995
01:01:56,210 --> 01:01:58,570
out to the world. 
And so ultimately what happens 

996
01:01:58,570 --> 01:02:00,530
is the the people on the 
heartbeat of God. 

997
01:02:00,770 --> 01:02:03,170
And so when you look out and you
see people, what do you see? 

998
01:02:03,170 --> 01:02:06,170
A lot of people see problems 
that they they see too much 

999
01:02:06,170 --> 01:02:08,250
issues and like, why we go 
overseas, there's a lot of 

1000
01:02:08,250 --> 01:02:10,510
problems here. 
You get that a lot right while 

1001
01:02:10,510 --> 01:02:13,430
we do these things like in all 
this and we instead of missing, 

1002
01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:15,470
it's like what does God see when
he sees the nations. 

1003
01:02:15,750 --> 01:02:19,870
And so Jesus really, he finishes
up the Gospels and he's death, 

1004
01:02:19,870 --> 01:02:21,990
burial, resurrection, seen among
men. 

1005
01:02:21,990 --> 01:02:26,030
He's with the disciples and he 
says this first since Matthew 28

1006
01:02:26,030 --> 01:02:28,950
and really starts in 18 and the 
disciples are worshipping 

1007
01:02:28,950 --> 01:02:30,870
because they're with Jesus. 
But then Bob says they're 

1008
01:02:30,950 --> 01:02:32,670
they're still doubting. 
They're like is this really 

1009
01:02:32,670 --> 01:02:34,510
real? 
And Jesus, he makes this 

1010
01:02:34,510 --> 01:02:37,270
comment. 
He says all authority is given 

1011
01:02:37,270 --> 01:02:40,800
to me on heaven and earth. 
Like I'm in charge of 

1012
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:41,800
everything. 
Amen. 

1013
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,480
Come on. 
Somebody like, like Jesus is in 

1014
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,680
charge of everything's ever been
created, all heaven and all 

1015
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,040
earth. 
That means for us that we're 

1016
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,720
going to South America. 
It means we're not going to step

1017
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,200
on a single piece of soil or a 
street corner or in a 

1018
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,600
conversation or in a building or
an airplane. 

1019
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,200
Come on, somebody. 
They're afraid of flying, right?

1020
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,160
I mean, we're not going to be 
any place that Jesus hasn't 

1021
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,480
already or dangers in control 
of. 

1022
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,240
Amen. 
I mean, this is the way it's 

1023
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,160
saying. 
It's like you're talking to the 

1024
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,080
guy who owns it all, like I hold
the keys and therefore, because 

1025
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,240
I can, I do all this, I want you
to go. 

1026
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,040
He's asking us to go. 
And and when it says go, it's as

1027
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:13,920
you go. 
It's not just me. 

1028
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,840
It's like, hey, go across the 
world. 

1029
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,320
It can mean that that's what 
we're doing. 

1030
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,480
But as you go across the street,
Amen. 

1031
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,600
As you go in the Target line, 
the Walmart line, they're two 

1032
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,240
different people. 
Come on, somebody right as you 

1033
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,440
go, anywhere you go, you bring 
the gospel. 

1034
01:03:28,860 --> 01:03:31,500
And so is is go and make 
disciples of all nations, and 

1035
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:33,660
this word make disciples. 
Is really the the really the 

1036
01:03:33,660 --> 01:03:36,060
centerpiece of the gospel that 
we're called to bring people 

1037
01:03:36,060 --> 01:03:37,940
into the knowledge of Jesus and 
help them know Jesus. 

1038
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:39,420
But it says make stops all 
nations. 

1039
01:03:39,420 --> 01:03:42,020
That we're nations doesn't mean 
geopolitical boundaries, doesn't

1040
01:03:42,020 --> 01:03:44,700
like make disciples of Missouri 
or United States or it means 

1041
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:48,140
people, groups, ethnos. 
So subcultures and cultures 

1042
01:03:48,140 --> 01:03:50,980
bring the gospel to every single
person in the entire world. 

1043
01:03:50,980 --> 01:03:53,700
And so we're like, hey, we're 
God's calling us to be a part of

1044
01:03:53,700 --> 01:03:55,680
what they're doing down there. 
And it goes on to say the 

1045
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,680
baptize and the Father, son, the
Holy Spirit teaching to obey, 

1046
01:03:58,880 --> 01:03:59,920
which is a really interesting 
thing. 

1047
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:02,160
It doesn't say just teach the 
Bible, but teach obedience to 

1048
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,000
the things of God. 
Amen. 

1049
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,920
And we're not going to do this. 
Show them like, well, here's the

1050
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,040
scripture. 
It's like, let me show you how 

1051
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,720
to live this out. 
Like we're teaching behavior and

1052
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,720
transformation and heart change.
And then day it says in love 

1053
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,520
with you always, even since the 
earth, Amen. 

1054
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,960
And it's really cool is, is that
we're not going by ourselves. 

1055
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:17,720
We're going with Jesus. 
Amen. 

1056
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,280
And it's false theology to say 
that Jesus is sits on the throne

1057
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,200
in heaven right now because 
Jesus is with us right now in 

1058
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:25,120
this moment. 
Amen. 

1059
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,760
That makes a difference because 
I got some boldness in my veins.

1060
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,600
Amen. 
I'm gonna go down to Columbia 

1061
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,080
and they're gonna use my 
Caucasian, what they call me 

1062
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,320
gringo, right? 
And they're gonna send me out 

1063
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:37,800
and they're gonna say go invite 
people to church. 

1064
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,840
And I'll say the worst. 
All this muttered terrible 

1065
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,720
Spanish, right? 
And people will get around me 

1066
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,560
and they'll go, what the heck? 
And there'll be these guys that 

1067
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:45,880
actually speak Spanish. 
So don't worry about that. 

1068
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,440
Guy's crazy. 
But let me tell you about the 

1069
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,520
church, right? 
And people will come out to 

1070
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:50,200
church. 
Amen. 

1071
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,880
They'll just use my whiteness. 
Come on, somebody, right. 

1072
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,480
I mean, it's my only gift I've 
gotten in Spanish culture is 

1073
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,480
just just stand out. 
I'm tall and I'm white. 

1074
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,520
And that's it. 
So God will use it, right. 

1075
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,000
And I'll go down there and I'll 
tell you what, people came to 

1076
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,560
Christ last year because we went
out and invited them to church. 

1077
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,440
This lady came to Christ. 
It was so cool. 

1078
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,880
Church got over and they hung 
out. 

1079
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,560
And they actually went home, 
checked this out and brought 

1080
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,040
their parents back to church 
after church to tell them about 

1081
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,040
Jesus. 
And so you can say, well, God 

1082
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,680
can't use my life. 
Oh, God will, if you're willing.

1083
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,160
Amen. 
And I know some of these guys 

1084
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:21,000
are up here going what? 
What? 

1085
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,240
What's God going to do? 
It's like, just be ready for 

1086
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,400
anything, Right. 
And so I would encourage you 

1087
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,330
guys be praying for them just 
man it it it's the heart of the 

1088
01:05:29,330 --> 01:05:31,130
gospel and I'm gonna. 
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go 

1089
01:05:31,130 --> 01:05:32,770
through some verses because 
they're probably itching back 

1090
01:05:32,770 --> 01:05:35,410
there on some things. 
But man Paul's passion you know 

1091
01:05:35,410 --> 01:05:38,130
he he leaves the church efforts 
as he plants and he said it 

1092
01:05:38,130 --> 01:05:41,970
didn't hesitate to preach 
publicly or house to house 

1093
01:05:42,210 --> 01:05:44,530
anything that would be helpful 
for the things of Christ. 

1094
01:05:44,810 --> 01:05:46,490
Miss lived on mission before he 
left. 

1095
01:05:46,730 --> 01:05:49,130
He I was on the side of this the
ocean. 

1096
01:05:49,130 --> 01:05:50,530
He's getting ready to get on a 
boat. 

1097
01:05:50,530 --> 01:05:53,170
And he he tells him that his 
hands like, didn't cease from 

1098
01:05:53,170 --> 01:05:55,810
working to care for the weak and
care for the poor. 

1099
01:05:56,130 --> 01:05:57,770
And so he wasn't a burden on the
church. 

1100
01:05:58,010 --> 01:06:00,130
And he said this line that you 
really don't see anyone else in 

1101
01:06:00,130 --> 01:06:03,130
the in the gospels, he coaches 
Jesus, which is very rare to 

1102
01:06:03,130 --> 01:06:04,650
have a direct quote outside the 
Gospels. 

1103
01:06:04,650 --> 01:06:08,170
And he says better to give than 
it is to receive anything about 

1104
01:06:08,170 --> 01:06:09,610
Paul's life. 
He poured it all out for the 

1105
01:06:09,610 --> 01:06:10,370
gospel. 
Amen. 

1106
01:06:10,810 --> 01:06:13,490
He put the gospel 1st and he 
worked his tail off. 

1107
01:06:13,490 --> 01:06:14,850
He didn't want to be a burden, 
anybody. 

1108
01:06:14,850 --> 01:06:17,250
He won't be a blessing. 
And so he served the orphans and

1109
01:06:17,250 --> 01:06:19,930
the widows in the poor, and he 
gave back to those people, and 

1110
01:06:19,930 --> 01:06:23,060
he laid it all in line, and it 
said that they knelt down 

1111
01:06:23,060 --> 01:06:45,220
together. 
And you get to see the stories 

1112
01:06:45,220 --> 01:06:24,420
and these guys. 
These are the elders in that 

1113
01:06:24,420 --> 01:06:26,580
church, the pastors of leaders. 
And they prayed. 

1114
01:06:26,580 --> 01:06:28,980
And that was the last time 
they'd ever see that guy. 

1115
01:06:29,420 --> 01:06:30,740
Because Paul knew he's never 
come back. 

1116
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:32,900
He knew God had called him to 
somewhere different, and his 

1117
01:06:32,900 --> 01:06:35,940
life was going to be drastically
changed by being put in prison. 

1118
01:06:36,260 --> 01:06:38,460
But the reality is that we get 
to live in the fray a little 

1119
01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:38,820
bit. 
Amen. 

1120
01:06:39,380 --> 01:06:40,860
We're an extension of you guys. 
Amen. 

1121
01:06:41,460 --> 01:06:43,300
Like you may not be going, but 
you're going. 

1122
01:06:45,780 --> 01:06:48,600
So I want you to be. 
These guys up in prayer, I want 

1123
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,760
you to pick somebody out and I 
want you to connect with them 

1124
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,200
and say I'm. 
Going to pray for you all week. 

1125
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,440
You'll leave it on Saturday and 
look back and be gone all week 

1126
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,280
and then come back. 
But all nobody here is fluent in

1127
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,240
Spanish. 
Come on, somebody. 

1128
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:00,960
Right. 
Don't Destebano. 

1129
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,120
Right. 
That's, that's it. 

1130
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,320
That's all we got. 
You know, some of you guys are 

1131
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,840
gifted more than I am. 
Obviously, Speaking of language,

1132
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,120
that's not my gift. 
But the reality is, is that 

1133
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:10,440
we're going to see souls 
changed. 

1134
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:12,800
And the bigger thing is we get 
to encourage those other leaders

1135
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,440
down there. 
You know, You know how easy to 

1136
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,640
get the scourge and leadership 
and the ministry and. 

1137
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,520
Just take a take a step of faith
and just us showing up and 

1138
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,880
saying we love you guys, they're
like on fire for God, right, 

1139
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,360
Rick? 
Flair for Jesus, right? 

1140
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,040
That's what that that's what 
they need, right? 

1141
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,520
If you guys remember this guy 
Hugo with a picture of him, he 

1142
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,600
came here. 
We want to miss trip down there.

1143
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,880
And he came to the United States
and he came to our church last 

1144
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,000
year for a heart and soul night.
I don't. 

1145
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,880
Know if you remember Hugo and 
and just like on fire for the 

1146
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,240
things in Christ and so this is 
what we're going down to. 

1147
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,200
We'll be back to Columbia. 
That's why I don't get too sad 

1148
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,560
leaving. 
I'm back. 

1149
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,640
You know, I'm going to be a part
of the story. 

1150
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,120
We've got you right here. 
And I just know they're gonna 

1151
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,400
cost me something big. 
They used to run these youth 

1152
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,880
camps and talking 10s of 
thousands of young people and 

1153
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:57,880
some things happen that that 
shifted off of them. 

1154
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,680
But they have a vision and a 
mission, and they they have the 

1155
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,680
right. 
Mix of what the Holy Spirit's 

1156
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,720
doing and it's just really cool.
It's all encouraged to be 

1157
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,880
praying for them, be excited 
when they get back to hear the 

1158
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,440
stories. 
And we're want you guys to pray 

1159
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,560
that some of the fire these guys
get it is going to come into our

1160
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,600
church and really they're going 
to go to South America and. 

1161
01:08:15,110 --> 01:08:16,350
And their prayers to change 
South America. 

1162
01:08:16,350 --> 01:08:18,189
But what's going to happen is 
South America is going to change

1163
01:08:18,189 --> 01:08:18,630
them. 
Amen. 

1164
01:08:18,630 --> 01:08:20,630
And that's what happens to you 
on the trip. 

1165
01:08:20,630 --> 01:08:23,189
Your heart gets you softened and
lines up to the things of 

1166
01:08:23,189 --> 01:08:25,710
Christ. 
And all of a sudden, like you 

1167
01:08:25,710 --> 01:08:28,710
change your course, the Holy 
Spirit directs you. 

1168
01:08:28,910 --> 01:08:31,910
You say I'm not Lou for myself. 
For some of you guys as young 

1169
01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:34,390
people, you got your whole life 
ahead of you to say I'm a plan 

1170
01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:37,149
that every single day for Jesus.
Some of you guys can come back 

1171
01:08:37,149 --> 01:08:39,270
and say, man, God, show me 
something I never thought ever 

1172
01:08:39,270 --> 01:08:41,109
see. 
So encourage me and be be a 

1173
01:08:41,109 --> 01:08:41,950
part. 
Be willing. 

1174
01:08:41,990 --> 01:08:43,630
You know, maybe you give me 
this, pray for this. 

1175
01:08:43,670 --> 01:08:46,189
But next you be like, man, I 
think God may use me and so be 

1176
01:08:46,189 --> 01:08:47,550
open to that. 
I want to do something special. 

1177
01:08:47,790 --> 01:08:49,069
I'll let you guys stand to your 
feet. 

1178
01:08:49,310 --> 01:08:51,109
I told you the most eclectic 
Sunday in the history of our 

1179
01:08:51,109 --> 01:08:52,910
church. 
So go and stand up. 

1180
01:08:53,229 --> 01:08:55,189
I want you guys just spread out 
down the aisle a little bit. 

1181
01:08:55,189 --> 01:08:57,229
We'll go this way. 
And I want you guys just get 

1182
01:08:57,229 --> 01:09:00,390
around some of these guys and 
and you pray for them and just 

1183
01:09:00,390 --> 01:09:03,270
pray a big blessing on them. 
Just let them know you're behind

1184
01:09:03,270 --> 01:09:04,069
them. 
You're for them. 

1185
01:09:04,229 --> 01:09:05,149
You stay up here with me. 
Love you. 

1186
01:09:05,790 --> 01:09:07,910
Love you. 
That's what we wanted. 

1187
01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:11,470
That's what we wanted. 
So, but yeah, just go ahead and 

1188
01:09:11,470 --> 01:09:13,229
move right now. 
Go get get around our people. 

1189
01:09:13,229 --> 01:09:14,350
Go ahead. 
Just space out. 

1190
01:09:14,350 --> 01:09:16,350
Just pray for them, man. 
Come on, just move this. 

1191
01:09:16,350 --> 01:09:18,510
Move out of the aisle. 
This your chance to encourage 

1192
01:09:18,510 --> 01:09:22,069
them and pray that that God gets
the glory from this man. 

1193
01:09:22,069 --> 01:09:22,990
Come on, every guy out of the 
seats. 

1194
01:09:22,990 --> 01:09:23,910
This is how we're going to end 
the day. 

1195
01:09:23,910 --> 01:09:25,470
So just get in and find 
somebody. 

1196
01:09:26,029 --> 01:09:28,870
Somebody pray for me. 
Please pray for my wife. 

1197
01:09:28,870 --> 01:09:31,950
She needs it. 
Logan needs prayer. 

1198
01:09:31,950 --> 01:09:38,210
Come on, just look at that guy. 
If you don't know what to pray, 

1199
01:09:38,210 --> 01:09:40,050
just stand by somebody. 
You don't have to say anything. 

1200
01:09:41,210 --> 01:09:42,890
Just stand by somebody. 
Let them know you love them. 

1201
01:09:47,649 --> 01:09:49,050
That's right. 
All right. 

1202
01:09:49,250 --> 01:09:51,010
Well, I'll let you guys pray for
a couple minutes and I'll wrap 

1203
01:09:51,010 --> 01:09:52,130
it up. 
So go ahead. 

1204
01:11:35,020 --> 01:11:38,180
Father would come before you and
God, I pray, we pray just the 

1205
01:11:38,180 --> 01:11:40,500
John the Baptist type of prayer 
that you must increase and and 

1206
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:43,340
we must decrease. 
I gotta be going this trip and. 

1207
01:11:44,170 --> 01:11:45,490
To be less about us and more 
about you. 

1208
01:11:45,490 --> 01:11:50,050
God we'd come back just no 
longer about what we want in 

1209
01:11:50,050 --> 01:11:53,170
life God but all about you God. 
I pray that we'd see you just 

1210
01:11:53,170 --> 01:11:55,090
getting your glory. 
God and across the nations. 

1211
01:11:55,090 --> 01:11:56,890
And that we realize you're way 
bigger than real life. 

1212
01:11:56,890 --> 01:11:58,930
Church. 
You're way bigger than what I 

1213
01:11:58,930 --> 01:12:00,770
see on Sunday morning. 
God you're the God of all 

1214
01:12:00,810 --> 01:12:03,010
nations. 
So God I pray that you would 

1215
01:12:03,010 --> 01:12:06,130
call out missionaries so you'd 
call us on the on the water got 

1216
01:12:06,130 --> 01:12:09,210
into the fray to live by faith. 
God I pray the Holy Spirit just 

1217
01:12:09,210 --> 01:12:12,050
trying to stake in our hearts. 
God, as we, as we pour ourselves

1218
01:12:12,050 --> 01:12:14,090
out on people, even know and 
speak the same language. 

1219
01:12:14,210 --> 01:12:16,130
God I pray you'd already be 
moving the hearts down there 

1220
01:12:16,610 --> 01:12:21,010
that we see life transformed, 
that we see disciples made. 

1221
01:12:21,570 --> 01:12:23,050
You got. 
We come back here with a fire 

1222
01:12:23,050 --> 01:12:24,650
and our soul. 
God that's just so hard to 

1223
01:12:24,650 --> 01:12:26,930
explain to somebody else. 
God, that we know for ourselves 

1224
01:12:27,290 --> 01:12:29,410
that we see with their own eyes 
the miracles that you can 

1225
01:12:29,410 --> 01:12:32,370
perform, that we see with their 
own eyes the power of your word 

1226
01:12:32,370 --> 01:12:33,610
and the power of surrendered 
life. 

1227
01:12:34,130 --> 01:12:37,050
So for those who go on the trip.
God, I pray just a bless you on 

1228
01:12:37,050 --> 01:12:40,130
them God that they would just 
align their hearts with your 

1229
01:12:40,130 --> 01:12:41,530
heart. 
God they'd be broken. 

1230
01:12:42,010 --> 01:12:44,090
Got to be full of prayer, God 
that they. 

1231
01:12:44,170 --> 01:12:46,890
We build on the word of God that
they would find a foundation in 

1232
01:12:46,890 --> 01:12:49,290
the footing in you no matter 
where they're at the stage of 

1233
01:12:49,290 --> 01:12:50,570
life. 
God up are you Just trip away 

1234
01:12:50,570 --> 01:12:53,290
everything that doesn't look 
like you and be prepared as an 

1235
01:12:53,290 --> 01:12:55,210
empty willing vessel for this 
trip. 

1236
01:12:55,210 --> 01:12:58,730
And then we come back in regards
to where you plant us or where 

1237
01:12:58,730 --> 01:13:00,370
we go. 
God that we'd make much of you. 

1238
01:13:00,370 --> 01:13:03,970
God that we just famed your name
and your renowned across our 

1239
01:13:03,970 --> 01:13:06,850
nation across our friend groups.
And God, if you call us God, 

1240
01:13:06,850 --> 01:13:09,370
we're willing to say here I am, 
Cindy. 

1241
01:13:10,070 --> 01:13:12,390
I have no idea what it looks 
like and where we're going. 

1242
01:13:12,390 --> 01:13:15,310
God, we'd be broken and empty. 
So pray for those in our church,

1243
01:13:15,310 --> 01:13:17,470
God that recognize this 
extension of us. 

1244
01:13:17,910 --> 01:13:20,070
We come back and hear the 
stories of what you're doing and

1245
01:13:20,070 --> 01:13:22,630
realize how big you are. 
Not grained you are and you're 

1246
01:13:22,630 --> 01:13:24,550
bigger than anything and 
everything God that we can ever 

1247
01:13:24,550 --> 01:13:27,030
do with our hands. 
So God, I pray that only you and

1248
01:13:27,070 --> 01:13:28,390
the glory for what's going to 
happen. 

1249
01:13:28,710 --> 01:13:31,430
You do something so big in this 
generation and through this team

1250
01:13:31,870 --> 01:13:33,590
God the only you can get the 
glory for what's about to 

1251
01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:34,990
happen. 
So God to pray, blessing on 

1252
01:13:34,990 --> 01:13:36,710
that. 
God to use us if you use 

1253
01:13:36,710 --> 01:13:38,230
anybody. 
God to hurt the Kingdom of the 

1254
01:13:38,230 --> 01:13:39,870
gospel. 
I pray this. 

1255
01:13:40,150 --> 01:13:42,910
Name of all names. 
Everybody said Amen. 

1256
01:13:43,390 --> 01:13:45,350
Come on, give it up for our 
missions team. 

1257
01:13:45,350 --> 01:13:46,510
For Jesus. 
One more time. 

1258
01:13:47,750 --> 01:13:50,550
Find a quick seat. 
Diane's just gonna lead us out 

1259
01:13:50,550 --> 01:13:53,950
of today all. 
Right. 

1260
01:13:54,830 --> 01:13:57,270
You're awesome. 
Well, hey, thank you guys for 

1261
01:13:57,270 --> 01:13:59,310
coming out today. 
It has just been an incredible 

1262
01:13:59,310 --> 01:14:01,470
morning. 
I think one of the most powerful

1263
01:14:01,470 --> 01:14:04,830
moments that we had last year on
our missions trip was a young 

1264
01:14:04,830 --> 01:14:08,070
man named Raphael. 
And what was so powerful about 

1265
01:14:08,070 --> 01:14:11,750
the story is that, like Sean 
said, he speaks like like 1% of 

1266
01:14:11,750 --> 01:14:15,430
the Spanish language and it 
would not even he says less than

1267
01:14:15,430 --> 01:14:17,270
that. 
But was able to make a 

1268
01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:19,510
connection with this young man 
who eventually ended up coming 

1269
01:14:19,510 --> 01:14:22,470
out to church and he made a 
decision to follow Jesus with 

1270
01:14:22,470 --> 01:14:23,910
his life. 
And this young man had been 

1271
01:14:23,910 --> 01:14:25,710
through some, really. 
Challenging situations. 

1272
01:14:25,710 --> 01:14:29,870
His dad was actually held 
hostage by some in the like 

1273
01:14:29,910 --> 01:14:32,950
militant groups up in the like 
the rural part of the country 

1274
01:14:32,950 --> 01:14:35,110
where he was living. 
And his family had really been 

1275
01:14:35,110 --> 01:14:37,870
through some challenging and 
tumultuous times and was looking

1276
01:14:37,870 --> 01:14:41,350
for hope and was just kind of 
almost dumbfounded that this 

1277
01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:45,310
crazy dude would come and play 
soccer with him and hang out and

1278
01:14:45,310 --> 01:14:46,630
all the things that we got to 
do. 

1279
01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:49,110
And what was powerful is that 
coming to Christ had nothing to 

1280
01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:52,470
do with Sean but had everything 
to do with Jesus. 

1281
01:14:52,510 --> 01:14:54,630
And when we follow Jesus, we 
have. 

1282
01:14:54,790 --> 01:14:57,550
A hope that lives in us. 
And so my challenge for you this

1283
01:14:57,550 --> 01:15:01,790
week is that to take that hope 
with you wherever you go, you 

1284
01:15:01,790 --> 01:15:04,470
have the ability to do that. 
You don't have to go across the 

1285
01:15:04,470 --> 01:15:05,790
world. 
You can go across the street. 

1286
01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:08,430
You can sit at home and send a 
message on Facebook. 

1287
01:15:08,430 --> 01:15:10,910
You don't even have to go. 
But as you're doing life, take 

1288
01:15:10,950 --> 01:15:14,990
Jesus with you because it was 
that willingness to be used that

1289
01:15:14,990 --> 01:15:16,670
made the difference. 
And when you were a part of 

1290
01:15:16,670 --> 01:15:20,550
being generous, of real life, 
that willingness is used by God.

1291
01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:22,710
That allows us to have a youth 
group where young people can 

1292
01:15:22,710 --> 01:15:24,630
make decisions to follow Jesus. 
It allows. 

1293
01:15:24,750 --> 01:15:27,830
Us to take a week to go across 
the world to encourage our 

1294
01:15:27,830 --> 01:15:30,710
mission partners. 
And so your generosity is truly 

1295
01:15:30,710 --> 01:15:33,070
at the tip of the spear for what
we're able to do here. 

1296
01:15:33,070 --> 01:15:35,030
And there's a few ways that you 
can do that. 

1297
01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:37,750
If you call real life home, you 
can go to reallifechurchkc.com, 

1298
01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:40,830
click, give text, any amount to 
84321. 

1299
01:15:40,830 --> 01:15:42,470
The buckets are going to pass in
just a second. 

1300
01:15:42,510 --> 01:15:45,270
You can drop cash or check in 
there and we have a box in the 

1301
01:15:45,270 --> 01:15:47,790
back if that is a more 
convenient way for you to give, 

1302
01:15:48,510 --> 01:15:52,920
but I can tell you that. 
For me, when I'm giving, I know 

1303
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:54,920
that God can do more with it 
than I can do. 

1304
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,640
God owns it all, and so my 
ability to be faithful and 

1305
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,920
willing to be a part of what 
he's doing through that, I know 

1306
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,720
can make a big difference. 
If you are new with us today, we

1307
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,040
don't ask anything from you. 
I hope that this encouraged your

1308
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,040
heart, and I'd also want you to 
know if you or your family are 

1309
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,440
in immediate need of food, 
clothing, or shelter. 

1310
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,560
As those buckets pass, just 
reach in and grab any loose cash

1311
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,560
that you see. 
We want to be a blessing to you 

1312
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,040
and your family in this time. 
Of need for you. 

1313
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:22,920
So you guys can go ahead and 
pass the buckets. 

1314
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,640
I'm just a couple more things 
for you on your chair actually. 

1315
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,640
Oh, I forgot. 
If you got that communication 

1316
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,240
card, you can drop it in the 
bucket or in the box in the back

1317
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,680
on your way out. 
We would love to connect with 

1318
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,040
you in that way to be praying 
for you to say hey, if you were 

1319
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,840
new with us today. 
But the last thing is this is we

1320
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,240
are finishing our last week of 
at the Movies next week. 

1321
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,600
And I know it has been so 
awesome to see movies come to 

1322
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,680
life through the view and the 
lens of God. 

1323
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,880
And so if you're like, you know 
what, this has inspired me. 

1324
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,120
I want to make a difference this
week. 

1325
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,160
Reach down under your butt and 
there are some cards there that 

1326
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,440
say at the movies you can take 
those. 

1327
01:16:56,440 --> 01:16:58,400
Please take those. 
They are for you. 

1328
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,760
Pass them out when you're in the
line at Walmart and or Target. 

1329
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,400
We don't want to be divisive but
when you're at the place getting

1330
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,200
coffee and I'm like hey this 
lady's back to get more coffee, 

1331
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,200
I should invite her to at the 
movies because they're like she 

1332
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,160
has a problem. 
Those cards are a tool for you 

1333
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,320
to use to invite. 
I know that those cards have 

1334
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,400
been used to invite people who 
have come and to come to Christ 

1335
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,080
here, and you never know what 
God is going to do with this. 

1336
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,680
Invite So be a part of being an 
inviting culture. 

1337
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:25,040
It is an awesome time to do 
that. 

1338
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,600
At the Movies is our last week. 
Next week it is going to be an 

1339
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,440
awesome and inspiring true story
movie. 

1340
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:31,640
You're not going to want to miss
it if you don't know what at the

1341
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,280
movies is. 
It's just a really cool way that

1342
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,640
we take actual movies and pull 
truths of the scripture out of 

1343
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:38,520
them. 
We have popcorn, we have soda. 

1344
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,440
It's a really fun time. 
So hope you'll make it out for 

1345
01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:43,960
that. 
And I have no idea what else I'm

1346
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,200
supposed to say, but the good 
news is this, that that's OK 

1347
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,490
because God can still use it. 
I hope you all had a great week 

1348
01:17:50,490 --> 01:17:53,330
this week and we look forward to
seeing you back Next week. 

1349
01:17:53,450 --> 01:17:55,450
We are going to have somebody 
here at the front. 

1350
01:17:55,890 --> 01:17:58,010
If you need prayer for any 
reason, a member of our team 

1351
01:17:58,010 --> 01:18:01,650
will be up here. 
We will be here next week, 9:30 

1352
01:18:01,650 --> 01:18:04,370
and 11:00 for the last week of 
at the movies and so I hope that

1353
01:18:04,370 --> 01:18:08,090
we will see you there. 
And Please remember that whoever

1354
01:18:08,090 --> 01:18:11,130
finds Jesus discovers real life 
and purpose. 

1355
01:18:11,130 --> 01:18:12,410
Have a great week.
