  Speaker 1: It's nine, nine weeks online and then we go live.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: If you want to a stage in LA, it's.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The stage is already finding your stage there it is, but you can learn from seasoned speakers.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: There's great curriculum, so you don't have to wonder.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It helps that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: What do I really talk about?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You can dive into a range of topics and be able to find that you get a supportive community from nine weeks to a little Zoom cubes you see everyone to the actual scenario of being on stage and, of course, what's really involved is this personal transformation that you're called to speak.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Right, I see you.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I know this gives you a chance to not just develop your skill, but also it's a personal growth.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I went last year, I'm going to go this year and I'll tell you what.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It was the first time that I worked on a.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Worked on a, I guess what he called a speaking format and sharing a story.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: My story was the whole thing I threw up on stage.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: What do I mean by that?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I had everything and anything that affected me in the last 26, 27 years, but this year I'm going because I want to refine it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to really be able to hit the mark.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So this episode is brought to you by that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So, without further ado, I'm going to just share my welcome that I gave to the Christian Networking group.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It's enjoying that Michelle Tuffer is just leading an excellent group, but this is how I opened it up and I thought I would include it in here.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So hello there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: My name's Sarisa Croft.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm part of Michelle Tuffer's team here at the best group on Facebook and I'm so excited to have just a few moments.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: See, I'm making myself be short in words because I go live at 11 in prayer time, so, listen, I like to ask this question.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm Teresa Croft.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm a former radio announcer in marketing since 2009.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Love video, love rails.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: If you watch that reel down there, that's not my normal reel singing, but I love connecting with you guys.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Some of you have gotten to connect personally and it's been really awesome.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But I want to talk about something real quick.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Do you ever wonder am I doing the right thing?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Or why this just isn't lighting me up?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Like I say, in business, you're did a business, you're in a business, you're like, yeah, this is what I need to do, this is what I'm supposed to do.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But let me ask you a question and this I think, based on what I've asked people and seeing what they're doing now, truly fully in their identity, I see that what they did when they played in their younger age had a lot to do with what they're doing now.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So let me get to a stage like there's threads to your identity.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So threads to my identity.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Can I just tell a little story?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: When I was really young we lived in this old house and they had these big steps.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe they weren't big, but to a six, seven year old they were huge and my idea of fun was climbing up those steps and preaching.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I was Catholic.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It was a good homily.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: In that same old house I'm going to date myself.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: My dad brought home what was then modern technology a tape recorder and a mic.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It was not a Walkman, so I'm really dating myself and that was just like Marvel technology.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I would sneak when my dad left for work.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He hid it under the bed, but I knew where it was.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I'd sneak it into my room and I would just talk into that thing and listen to my voice over and over.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I was working on my comedy act.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really funny.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And then I had four brothers.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Each of them came to me separately and said Teresa, the only one who's laughing is mom.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So maybe I ditched the comedy act.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's career surfacing in my 60s, but anyway, I'm only 60, teresa, so that was something that was lying in my DNA.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: My idea of fun was talking into a microphone, just a note.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We later moved to a house that only had two steps.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I was like a member one day, playing.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I was like just two steps.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: This isn't working for me.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: But I noticed an apple cart.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So I tipped that apple cart the lengthways got up on that wobbly thing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I had accepted Jesus now, so I really did.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I prayed to the birds, the bees and the apple trees.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: They needed Jesus.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So that was wired apple cart.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Since 2008, I've opened an Apple product, from a computer to a MacBook Pro, to a phone with filters, of course, apple phone speaking what God has given me being able to speak.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So this is the deal, I think, as God wires that into your DNA.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, I became a professional golfer.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was a really good.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was all American collegiate and I thought if I could just play good enough, I'd have a platform to approach.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The crash had burned after three years as a pro.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: What did God do?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: God, god, god.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He closed his eyes and said Theresa, you're going to get into a radio station.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And it was funny because I just happened to give my demo tape and there were.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't see the advertisement.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If I would have saw the advertisement I wouldn't have applied because it said two years experience.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I gave it a tape that I used to make for my friends on the golf tour called the KYSS radio station speaking in a microphone music.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That was my demo tape to get into a radio station where for 15 and a half years I got paid to speak to pray on the air.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So what is in your DNA?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like when you're played?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Now listen, I understand, I get it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You might have had a real traumatic childhood.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I am so sorry, but it's not lost.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I have a friend who had a brain injury at three years old.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know what she's doing today?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: She's neuropsychal, she's under Dr Caroline, leif, she's working on people's brains.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So you say, no, teresa, I still you're not getting me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Girl, I had a traumatic childhood.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I suffered.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: What I would say is, when you get healing, when you come from a place of that healing and transformation, guess what you get?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: To speak to the person you once were as you're going about your business, maybe you feel stuck.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that stuckness might be just resistance, because this is where it's part of the resistance, where you're going in your lane.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Resistance happens A lot of times.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's part of the journey as you learn to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Perseverance is a muscle of your faith that you come through that stuckness and things light up again.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I just want to ask you what did you like to do when you were young?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I asked that question.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Now I have a podcast that's my own radio station.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I've been going into five years, but this last year I've asked my guests what did you do when you were young?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: This last guest it was so precious she goes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I played stage and she now has a every day.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: She goes live on Facebook with a devotional time.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I asked Michelle Tufford, the businesswoman.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: She used to play this Barbie business thing and it was all had to do with business.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I had another friend.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: She used to color in a coloring book and then gently rip out the page and sell the page.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Amazing marketing, amazing corporate woman.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I want to encourage you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes our beliefs determine our emotions.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I think the greatest place where you can get your beliefs short up, stored up, is through your identity.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You might need to go back in your mind what you're doing now light you up.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Now, granted, there are things that are difficult.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: They don't light you up, but I just challenge you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Go back to your childhood.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: What did you like to do?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Let's talk identity.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Let's talk I'm T on Tuesday.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Let's talk some of those things and see if we can't light a fire, because I really believe, if you feel voiceless, there is a time for God to heal you and find your voice, with a total transformation of finding your voice from identity, so you can speak, serving the person you once were.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I look forward to talking to you.
