  Speaker 1: Down in the back cause I don't want the music
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to be playing because Facebook seems to YouTube and Facebook
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: seem to not want music playing. They have all these
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: regulations and they will violate us. So good morning, good morning,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: good morning, YouTube, Facebook, Kick and Twitch. If you can
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: hear the music playing in the background, it is just
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that background music. It is not my own music. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: do not own the rights to this music. I am
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: only playing it for my entertainment purposes. For my entertainment purposes,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: if you would, if you're on TikTok, if you come in,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: please go ahead and tap that screen.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Share it out with someone.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't sent your daily hearts and would
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: like to sing your daily heart, go ahead and sing
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: your daily heart.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Y'all. We are coming out of another one of my devotion.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Journal books that it's called a Closer Walk, which I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: am that I am a thirty one day teen guide
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to splawing the Bible, y'all. Yes, we're starting with our babies.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We got to start with our babies. We got to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: give them something so that they will have something in
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: them so that, hey, if they go astray, they always
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got the word in them so that they can get
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: back on course, because it tells us to bring a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: child up in that way here. If they depart, they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: always gonna come back. So we got to put something
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in them so they'll have it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We need to equip these babies so that they don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: depend on the streets, so that they can have something
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to depend on and not have to run to those streets, y'all,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: because the streets are taking our babies, y'all, and we
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: need to put this in them so they know that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they can depend on the word of God, and they
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: can depend on God. It's the creator of all Things'll
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead and get into this lesson this
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: morning before I before I get started, I want to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: lead us in prayer. I want to say a little prayer,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna let your head jump into this.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Lesson this morning.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So, Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: thank you for yet another hour that we can come
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: before you. Lord, I thank you for this time that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you have allowed for us to come share your word,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to come together, to stand in agreement, to stand on
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a card because what your words say, well one, two
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: or three are gathered in your name that you will
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: be in the miss So Father, we hope, we pray
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and know that you were in the myths. So Father,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we're asking that you would move me Angela out of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the way, Lord God, allow my flesh to die and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: your spirit man to rise up within me. Lord God Father,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: thank you, and allow the words that come out of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: my mouth to be the words that you would have
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: me to say. Lord God Father, thank you for this opportunity.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I thank you for this space. I thank you for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this new day that we have never seen, but you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: would stand at your grace and your mercy, giving us
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to impact lives, giving us an opportunity to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: get right those things we didn't get right on yesterday.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: So Lord, we thank you for this new day. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Father asked we go forth.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Lord God, we asked that you would hill, chill God,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and protect us as we go out to be in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this world, but out of this world and these things
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: are asking your son Jesus.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Name, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And again I thank God for each and every one
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of you guys that are tuned in, those that are
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: tuned in live, those that will hear the replay, because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I know everybody can't be on the live, but if
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you are catching it as a replay, if you're catching
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it as a clip, or someone just sharing a nugget
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that they picked up on today. I thank God for
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: each and every one of you, guys, and we're gonna
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: go ahead and get started again. I thank Him for you,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: because again he know everything that we need, when we needed,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and how we needed, y'all. So with that being said,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with that being said, I got that just my little
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: arrangement over there, because.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I need that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I need to be able to see my notes because
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: y'all know, I'm a notes person. I like to keep notes.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So I got notes, so I need to be able
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to see my notes. I had to move my camera, y'all,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so excuse me, okay. So our lesson today is it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: going to be based around the first day inside of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: this book. It is called Day one discovering God's Love,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and it's Day one discovering God's Love. And this is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: going to be a thirty one day journey, y'all, a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: thirty one day journey. So today's scripture is going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be John's three sixteen. That is the scripture that is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: based on our affirmation for the day is I am
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: deeply loved by God. Speak that over your life, Speak
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that over your life. I am deeply loved by God.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So before we go into the scripture, I want to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: give you a little backstory and understanding the context before
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we read John three sixteen. Let's think about why this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: verse is so important. At the heart of the Bible
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: message is God's God's deep, unconditional love for every person,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: no matter our story, or our mistakes or our questions.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: God did not just say he loves us. He showed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it by sending his son Jesus into this world so
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that we could have the gift of eternal life. The
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: love is the foundation of our faith in the beginning of.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Our spiritual journey. So the scripture is again John's three p. Sixteen.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It is going to come from the NIV version says,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for God so loved the world that he gave his
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: one and only son, that whosoever believed in him should
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not perish but have eternal life.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: God's love is unconditional. God does not love you because
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of what you do or don't do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: He loves.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: His love is not based on our achievements or our affairs,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: your best days or your worst moments.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He loves you because you are his.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: This is the love that never changed, It never stops,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and it can never be taken away. God love is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the foundation everything that we believe in. Every step that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we take in our faith journey is built on knowing
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: how much God loves us.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: It is the starting point and giving us strength, courage,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and purpose. Y'all. God's love is the beginning of our journey.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Knowing you are loved by God is the first step
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to knowing Him, trusting him, and following him. When you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: understand this, it shapes every part of your life. Have
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you ever been at a place where you felt like
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you wasn't loved, that you didn't that nobody cared, that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you were alone on this journey?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I have. I've been at that place, and that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Was because I didn't truly know who God was or
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: his love that he had for me. And the closer
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I got to him, the more I discovered what this
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: journey was for me, y'all, and I got to come
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: out this role. But the more I discovered, I be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: having hot fleshes, so excuse me out. The more I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: discovered what this walk was like, the more I drew
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: unto him because his word tells us that we draw
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: now unto him, He'll draw not unto us. And the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: closer I got to him, the more I began to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: experience his love, the more I begin to see what
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: other people had said. You know, oftentimes we may hear
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: people say how good God is, but until we experience something,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: until we truly understand for ourselfs, we may have questions,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we may have doubts, we may have things in the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: back of our mind because we've not experienced, because we've
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: not went through. And I can honestly say that that's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: where I was at a point in my life. But
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: God began as I began to draw onto him, he
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: began to draw onto me, and then I begin to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: see John three sixteen. But I want us to understand
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that we don't have to experience something to know that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: John three sixteen is real and it is true.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: We just have to know that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Even if you have not experienced nothing, even if you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: have not went through anything, know that His love is real.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And no matter what you do, because y'all, if you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: keep living, even if you never seeing, you never made
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: no mistakes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And I know we all have fallen short and know
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna We're gonna make some morbistakes. Y'all. We
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: are not perfect people and we live in a imperfect world.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So knowing that, know that it's okay if you make
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a mistake, just don't stay there. That's what I tell people.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it's okay to fall because you learn from
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: those lessons, but just don't stay in whatever you do.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We have to learn how to repent and turn from
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: those things you know, make If you make a mistake,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's okay. No that you're not perfect, And you can
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: go over in the Bible and you can see other
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: examples of other people that made mistakes before you, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be people after us that's gonna make mistakes,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna be able to draw off the mistakes
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that we've that we've made and the lessons that we're
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: able to teach them so that they don't have to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: make the same mistakes. And if they do make the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: same mistakes, they'll have they'll know that, hey, they can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get through it. And that's the most important thing. It's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: knowing that there is an out and there's a way
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that we will get through and we can see what
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the other side is. So how do we apply this
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to our daily lives? How do we apply and know
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that God loves us? And I'm gonna tell y'all every day,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be something that y'all gonna hear from
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: me every day. So know that every every lesson that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we that we go through, every lesson that we have, y'all,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that it's important to pray. It
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is important to spend that time with him in the morning.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Your first fruits to be before his before him. You
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: should give him your first fruits of the day. When
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you wake up. You should start your day by praying.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You should start your day by speaking affirmations over yourself,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: reminding yourself each morning who you are, who you are, y'all.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: If you spend that time with you, you I can,

  Speaker 1: even when it's hard. Y'all, If you have the love
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of God, people can offend you and you can forgive them.

  Speaker 1: to show kindness even when people are not showing kindness

• 12:10
  Speaker 1: So what would I like for you to take away
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: from this lesson, from this time that we are sharing,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: from the words that I've spoken, What would I like
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for you to take away? One thing I want you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to know is god Love for you is unconditional, that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you don't have to earn it, that it is deserve
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that you you deserve it. Understand that god Love is foundation,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is the foundation of a strong and joyful faith life.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Confidence in God's love can transform the way you treat
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: yourself in others. If you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: If you're made in His image, that means you're made
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: in His likeness. If you can love like him, then
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: guess what, y'all it would cover the multitude of sind
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I want you to take a moment and extra slt this.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Do I really believe God loves me just as I am?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Right now? Do you think that He loves you just
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: as you are? I think he loves me with all.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: My flaws, with all my imperfectness, with all of my disappointment,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: with all of those things that are not right.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I still think that He loves me. I think he.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Loves me in the midst of me trying and me
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: journing along, trying to be more like him every day,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: allowing that flesh of me to die? Second question, how
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: might your actions and feelings change if I remember this
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: every day?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: So, if you remember every.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Day that God loves you just as you are, how
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: do you think your actions would change? Do you think
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you would treat people differently? Do you think you would
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: move differently? Do you think you would be easy to forgive?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think you would be kinder? Do you think
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you would be more transparent? How do you think this
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: would change your actions and your feelings?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Third question?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Is there someone in your life who needs to be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: reminded that they are loved?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And can you be that reminder for them? This week?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Can you remind them that they are loved? Can you
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: remind them that they are not forgotten? Can you remind
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: them that they're not alone on this journey? That they
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: have someone, the Creator, the one that creates, that knows
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: all things, and he gives unconditional love over and over
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and over and over again. It does not come with stipulations,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: It does not come with a manual, It does not
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: come with regulations or guidelines.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Only thing he wants you to do is to love
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and to be kind. That's it. So I want you, y'all.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I hope you have started the journal because I want
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you to journal. I want you to journal these things.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to keep up with how God is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: moving in your life. So today I want you to journal.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: If you have not purchased your book, you have not
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: grabbed you a copy of the book. Just get you
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a notepath, Just get you a notepad, something that you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: can keep some notes. I want you to write one
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: or two sentences, and I want you to finish this
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: sentence that I'm gonna give you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: And with the sentence that I'm.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Going to give you, I want you to add two
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or three sentences along with that. No, I want you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to add one or two sentences along with that. That's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: what it says.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So it says write one or two sentences in your journal,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: finishing the statement. Because God loves me, I can. I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: want you to finish that statement in your journal. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: want you to finish that statement. So before I go,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: before I close, I want to leave you with this
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: word of encouragement. When you truly understand that God loves
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you for just who you are, and that God's love
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: is real for you, unchanging is unconditional. It changes everything
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you begin to see yourself as a valuable not because
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of what others say or what you achieve, but simply
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: because you are God's beloved. And when you accept that love,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it becomes easier to see others through eyes of compassion, patience,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and grace. You no longer have to prove your worth.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: You live from a place of being fully accepted. Now
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: remember this, you are deeply loved by God, and that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the love is more powerful than any fear, any doubt,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: any insecurity that you may face. Let God's love feel you.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Let it feel you up so that you can spread
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that love everywhere you go. You should be amplifying love.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: When you walk into the room. People should feel that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: radiant love that you have coming forth, that love that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: God has given you. Again, I want you to speak
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: this affirmation over yourself. I am deeply loved by God,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and his love shakes who I am and how I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: live every day. Speak that over yourself. Speak it over
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: yourself every day. Put it on a stick. Stick it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: by your mirror when you go and start getting dressed
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: When you burst in your teeth, say it to yourself.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Speak it to yourself until you can remember it, until
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you get it in your down in your spirit, because
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you have to know that you are deeply loved by God, y'all.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus is coming back. He's coming back, y'all. He's coming back.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Will you be ready? Will you be ready? Will you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: accept God's love today? Will you accept his love today?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Because He loves you unconditional. His love is not like
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: man's love. His love has no stipulations. It has no no, no,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: no nothing. All you have to do is be willing
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to receive it. Okay, So I want y'all to receive
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it on today and know that.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You are loved.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna open up the floor. If anybody got
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a question, if you want to post it in the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: comment section, you can post it in the comment section
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and I will do my best to answer your questions.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But y'all, we are here to help. We're here to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: be helpmates one to another. We're here to help, educate, empower,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and encourage each other to stay on this journey, y'all.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: He didn't place us here to be alone. Oftentimes a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people feel that they must maneuver alone, that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they must move in silence, that they must not tell
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: people what they're doing. But that's not really what he
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: places us. There's some places in the Bible where you'll
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: see where people had to move in silence. They had
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to move alone. But if the majority of the Bible,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you see where we are supposed to be help makes
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: one to another. We're supposed to uplift, we're supposed to empower,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to encourage. We're not supposed to tear down.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: We're not supposed to be vindicted. We're not supposed to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: be cunning. But we're supposed to do all things positive.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: If you're doing positive things and you're showing kindness, you're
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: showing love, showing compassion, showing empathy, then you're doing the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: things of God, and God will continue to move in
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: your life. So I encourage you on today. If you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: have not purchased your copy of the book, I want
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to encourage you to go over, grab you a copy
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of the book.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Grab you a copy and follow along with us.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And then if you have a teenager, y'all buy your
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: team one of these because it is designed for them.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: There's activities in the back that teaches them and shows
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: them how to incorporate the Bible into different things, like
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: they can start they can do a family and friend
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: fellowship night. They can do a like a collaboration project,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: learning scripture, like a Bible study. They can do community service, y'all,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: because one of the things that we're supposed to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: doing is community service. The kids are out of school
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: right now, this will be a great opportunity for them
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to get out there and do a community service project
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: around what around spiritual stuff. They can do a community
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: service project at their church. But this is a great
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: time to incorporate some of these things. And there's just
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a different little things that I have put in place
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: inside of this book that will help our kids. Even
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: doing a group journaling session where they can journal their
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: thoughts and they can express their thoughts and they can
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: get it out there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And then a creative expression workshop.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And y'all, I give you details, give you outlines, give
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you how you can do these things, how you can
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: put these things on. If you are a youth leader,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: these are some great activities that you can implement into
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: your youth programs.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And then at the back, I just I got a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I encourage.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And tell each people how they can participate. So at
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the back for parents and guardians actively, so it tells
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you to actively listen and engage with your team, sharing
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: personal experience and perspective on faith set examples by participating
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: in activities and encouraging open dialogue about your spiritual topics.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So I encourage the parents and guardians to get involved
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and how they can get involved. Also how you can
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: get involved as a peer as as as a team.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: If you are a team, how you can get your
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: other peers involved. And in the back, I just have
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: like a little word search where they can word search
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and find some word search.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Within the within the little thing, y'all.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So I just did some things that I thought that
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: would get the kids involved in wanting to explore the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Word of God and learning the Word of God, y'all,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: because Jesus is coming. He's coming back, and I want
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: our babies prepared. I want our babies to know the Word,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and I want them to have the Word in them
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: so when they get out here in this world, y'all,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: they'll be equipped. They'll know how to handle themselves, and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they will have something to stand on so they won't
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: be easily deterred. They won't be easily targets for gain,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: recruitment and things of that nature. Because if they rooted
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in the world, y'all, they got something in them, they
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: got something that they can stand on. So, y'all, if
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you got teens in your life, y'all, this is something
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that you want to get to your team. This is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: designed for the teens, but it's also readable for adults
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and young adults, but it's specifically designed for thirteen to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen year olds. If you have a teenager, if you
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: are a youth leader, I encourage you to get this book.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Y'all can go over to my website and that is www.
• 23:37

  Speaker 1: always try to check that email because that's one of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: my mom that's one of the emails that I give

  Speaker 1: with me, that would be the one of the ways
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that you would like to get in contact with me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: If you're a group leader, if you have group.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Youth and you want me to come out and work
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: with your youth, y'all.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I'll do that too. I have ran youth programs.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I used to run a after school in a summer
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: program back in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen in Anderson, South Carolina.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: That was one of the reasons why I got started
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of the stuff that I'm doing those
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: babies and pouring into those babies.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So if you need me to come, I'm willing to come.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I don't mind coming and doing workshops and coming and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing now, just lecturing and just allowing
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: them to ask questions and just allowing them.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: To, you know, be free. So if you.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Have you and you would like connect with me, please
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: reach out. I don't mind coming. I don't mind coming
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to vacation Bible schools, if you have weekend something that
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you're doing on the weekend, whatever it is, y'all.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I'm out here.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just out here trying to be the change that
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I desire to see in this world. And my desire
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is to see that our babies are equipped so that
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: our babies no longer will be the pipeline to prison,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: because y'all, they they pipeline, and our babies, our babies
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: from from high school to prison if you look at it,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and we got to put a stop to that. We
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: gotta get our babies back. And how we get our
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: babies back, we got to go back to the world.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: We got to go back to the one that created us.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And we got to put send them y'all so they'll
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: have something in them so they can face this world.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Because this world is a cruel world and they don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: care nothing about our babies. So we got to care
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: more about our babies, and we got to get the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: word down in them, y'all the best way that we can.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: So again I want to thank everybody that tuned in today, y'all.
