- 0:11SPEAKER_01: And um, today is a very, very exciting day because we're going to do things a little bit different than we normally do.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: Normally we would dive in and and um get the Bible and we'd open it up and just just take off into God's Word.
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: But today we want to we want to go a little bit different avenue than we have ever gone before.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: So we're actually treading in new waters, so to speak.
- 0:32SPEAKER_01: And Bethany and I are super, super, super excited that we wanted to come on here and explain to you and tell you and invite you, most of all, invite you to come to our first ever truth be told workshop.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: And this workshop is gonna be amazing.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be very packed, detailed, full of scripture.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: The most important part of it is the truth, the word of God.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: The the second most important part of it is gonna be you and I connecting and unity, being together as one, and um just being able to discuss God's word and um its relevance in our life, what we're doing with it.
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: And so I'm gonna bring on Bethany, let her tell a little bit how excited she is, because I know she's excited as well.
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: So, Bethany, welcome in.
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: You want to come in and say hi to everyone?
- 1:20SPEAKER_02: Thank you, yes.
- 1:22SPEAKER_02: Great to be here.
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: Um I am so looking forward to this workshop.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: And if you have followed along with our episodes that we've done, I guarantee you you will not want to miss this workshop that we're doing.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: It will be something I believe every Christian needs, especially nowadays, and I am super excited for it, and I'm grateful that Mickey, as well as just as excited.
- 2:11SPEAKER_02: Um I may not be able to express the level of excitement that some people can, but believe me, I am excited for this, and you will not want to miss it.
- 2:28SPEAKER_01: So let me let me jump in and just tell everybody kind of what this workshop is and um how how it's going to kind of work out.
- 2:36SPEAKER_01: It's going to be a three-week series, kind of like how we do our recordings.
- 2:40SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we do solo episodes, sometimes we do um episodes that last a whole series.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: Well, Bethany and I have been putting putting our heads together and um praying and working with um the word with the scripture, and we came up with an idea to do a workshop where you guys can come on to Truth Be Told and be actually part of the discussion.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: And what's going to happen is with each workshop, you'll receive a worksheet that we will work through during the the actual recording of the episode, and then you'll be given a study guide worksheet to work on throughout the week to keep you um focused and your mind centered on Christ and what God wants and is doing in your life and through your life and through this workshop.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: As well as as we work through the the three weeks, we want to really emphasize that we are we are really desiring, Bethany and I are really desiring to mold and shape and um help those that are that just feel like they just need more.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: Do you ever feel like you just need more of Jesus?
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: Because I know I do.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: And there's times that I think, man, you know, I don't, you know, I don't know what to do.
- 4:01SPEAKER_01: I don't know how to get it.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: And this is gonna be one way you can do that.
- 4:05SPEAKER_01: Not only are we gonna be like arm in arm with one another as Christians, we are gonna be able to talk about the word, how it's relevant to our life.
- 4:15SPEAKER_01: Um, we're gonna be able to connect the dots with the scripture.
- 4:19SPEAKER_01: Each episode, we are going to actually have scripture.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: We're gonna break down the scripture, we're gonna discuss it as a group, as a whole, as a family, so to speak.
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: We're gonna discuss it, the word of God.
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: Then we're going to connect the dots with the scriptures that were given for each episode.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: So that way, if you have trouble understanding from scripture to scripture, from chapter to chapter, from verse to verse, from book to book, sometimes I get confused.
- 4:45SPEAKER_01: Bethany, I don't know about you, but I get sometimes a little mixed up.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: But this workshop is gonna help connect some of those scriptures to where we can follow right along.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: So, and we know with Holy Spirit, when Holy Spirit shows up, it's just gonna flow like a river because that's what God does.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: God just shows up and he flows.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna connect the scripture, and then we're going to, after we start connecting the scripture, we're going we're going to start um having a discussion about um um how it pertains to our lives and not only from a knowledge perspective, but from a heart perspective.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: And that's where we want to dive in.
- 5:32SPEAKER_01: We want to take the word of God deeper.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: And that's why this is truth be told, diving deeper into the truth.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: And the reason we're doing this is because the world is really, it's really at a breaking point.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: If you're not paying attention, it's breaking.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: It is really breaking.
- 5:53SPEAKER_01: People are walking around in fear, people are are angry, they're mad, they're frustrated, they're sad, they're hurting.
- 6:02SPEAKER_01: And we cannot get a grip of reality sometimes because you know why?
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: Because we're not walking side by side with Jesus.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: If we have Jesus and we're Christians, we're not to be afraid.
- 6:15SPEAKER_01: We're not to be afraid of what is going on in this world.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: It's crazy chaos around us all the time.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: You turn on the TV, it's nothing but chaos.
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: And it's devastation and it's heartbreak and it's and it's death, death, death, death.
- 6:29SPEAKER_01: Every single day.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: That's all we see.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: God wants to take us deeper.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: He wants us to be connected with him.
- 6:36SPEAKER_01: It's vital that we know who he is.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: The truth and the word says to know God.
- 6:44SPEAKER_01: Do you know God?
- 6:47SPEAKER_01: God is the ultimate answer for everything, and we need to make sure that we have that deeper connection with him.
- 6:55SPEAKER_01: And this workshop is gonna do that.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: So I'm super excited because we're not only gonna take the knowledge and put it in our brains and our head, um, you know, and to the knowledge of God, because the scripture says in 2 Corinthians that all of our thoughts are be are to be taken to the knowledge of God.
- 7:11SPEAKER_01: So if you're not familiar with that, I'll just share that with you a little bit today.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: We were gonna bring in scripture today, but I couldn't help it because you know that's how the Holy Spirit runs.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: But as we dive in deeper and we start gaining the knowledge, we we're really hoping that people can open up their hearts and have a passion for those that are lost and going to hell.
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: A passion for wanting to be closer to God.
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: And I really, really feel lately God has been really calling Bethany and myself both to just go deeper.
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: We we have just been sitting on the surface, and we've been sharing God, you know, God's truth and the word for a while now.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: And God says He wants more from us.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: He wants more.
- 7:55SPEAKER_01: And what more means is we're gonna start this workshop.
- 7:58SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be on the 5th of June.
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: I mean, June.
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: Well, that's always way the 5th of November, sorry about that.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be three workshops.
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be the 5th of November, the 12th of November, and the 19th of November.
- 8:11SPEAKER_01: And what's awesome about it is each workshop um comes with a worksheet and a study guide to go with it.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: And you will get to participate in the episode in the actual recording and um ask questions, get involved, um, share your insights, talk about what God's doing in your life, and um also an opportunity to have fellowship in prayer, because at the end of each episode, we are going to pray as um as a group, and then we're gonna work on our weekly challenge and get us prepared for the following week at the end.
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: So it's it's a whole format, but it's really easy, it's nothing hard, it's super exciting.
- 9:00SPEAKER_01: And I know, I know in my heart, Bethany, I know you can agree with me on this, but I know in my heart that God He's been trying to move, and sometimes we're just not the ones doing it.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: And God's been telling Bethany and I for a while now, um, especially me.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: Um, I've been the procrastinator, I believe, more than anything, is he wants us to not talk about it.
- 9:25SPEAKER_01: He wants us to be not just hearers but doers of the word.
- 9:28SPEAKER_01: And we can't teach you how to know God if we don't do these workshops and we bring the scripture and we have discussions about them, and we start connecting the scriptures together to where that they are effective in your life.
- 9:44SPEAKER_01: Every word in the Bible is a living word, it's alive, it's active, and God wants us to be so close to Him, He wants us to dive deeper, and this is the way to do it.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: And so I'm excited.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: I know Bethany is excited, and we are going to be um um starting in November.
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: But what I want you to do with this episode, the reason why we are recording this episode, not only to just tell you how excited we are, because if you can't tell, I'm pretty excited.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: Um but I want you to share this episode.
- 10:18SPEAKER_01: Share this and share it and share it.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: Tell people that that truth be told is getting ready to launch its first workshop, and we want you to be part of it.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: We want you to be part of it.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: Now, um there is there is a price, as we all know, everything you know costs these days.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: You know, it costs a lot for us to put these workshops together, but it's so reasonable comparative the web.
- 10:42SPEAKER_01: I've gone to so many websites, I mean not websites, webinars and Christian workshops with where they were hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: And Bethany and I talked about it, and we didn't want to do that.
- 10:54SPEAKER_01: We wanted to make it really, really, really reasonable.
- 10:57SPEAKER_01: And being that it's a three-week um workshop, we wanted it to only be five dollars per episode, which means it would be$15 for the three for the three together, because it's a three-part workshop.
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: So it's only$15.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: And so we want you guys to share and let everyone know.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: We are gonna be sending out all of the details.
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: We're gonna be, you'll, you'll see the event on our on our on our Facebook page.
- 11:26SPEAKER_01: And this week, Bethany and I are going to go live.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: We're gonna try.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: First time ever, we're we're we're stepping out.
- 11:34SPEAKER_01: See, when God calls us, we have to have faith, and I'm just gonna have faith that God's gonna guide us to step out, um, to step out.
- 11:42SPEAKER_01: We're gonna step out live on Facebook and we're gonna have discussion about this and what we're gonna be doing.
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: And hopefully, you guys will have already seen this episode and will be able to join us on that, as well as let other people know about it.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: One thing the word of God says that we are responsible is sharing the gospel.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you know this, but it is actually part of your responsibility.
- 12:06SPEAKER_01: It's my responsibility, it's everyone's responsibility if you're a Christian.
- 12:10SPEAKER_01: We are to be sharing the gospel.
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: And my question for you is how are you doing that?
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: This is a great way to do it.
- 12:17SPEAKER_01: This is a wonderful way to do it.
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: Not only will people get connected, we're gonna make new connections with one another.
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: People that we can pray for, people that need our prayers, people that um want to go deeper and they want to get closer to God, as well as making new friendships and being in communion with the Holy Spirit is what we're supposed to be doing.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: And I really feel God calling us out and calling Bethany and I to go deeper.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: And I'm excited.
- 12:50SPEAKER_01: I I'm I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous, but that you know, who would it be right?
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: Because you know, we've been sit we've been sitting on this for a minute.
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: And so, Bethany, what are your thoughts?
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: What what would you like to add to um all of this excitement that we're sharing today?
- 13:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's wonderful.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: It truly is something that even I have personally been praying about and seeking the Lord on, you know.
- 13:24SPEAKER_02: He has given me a message, and it's interesting to me how he has brought Big and I together.
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: And I do believe that it's to get his message out and to help those, help you all to understand just how important it is to go deeper, not just be on a maybe a service level, but to actually go deeper.
- 14:06SPEAKER_02: No, not so deep that you get lost in certain times, but truly being able to grasp what the word of God says, what God meant by it.
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: Um and so I may not be able to express it as much as inwardly.
- 14:40SPEAKER_02: I'm just super excited for this.
- 14:44SPEAKER_02: But believe me, I'm pumped, I'm ready to go as the Holy Spirit leads, big and I and like I say, you you will not want to miss it.
- 15:01SPEAKER_02: It will be something I believe that the Lord will use greatly in your life.
- 15:11SPEAKER_02: And so come join us.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: Yes, I agree.
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be an amazing time.
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: Um our our episodes normally um as we record and we share the truth um with you all.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: We normally record about an hour.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: It is a two-hour workshop, and we are gonna keep it to two hours.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we're gonna, you know, go through it, but we're also going to um take heed to Holy Spirit.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: We want to make sure that we allow Holy Spirit to to move as well as um, you know, I feel like Bethany, I don't know about you, but I feel like there's so many people right now that just um they feel trapped and they just need freedom.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: They just need to be freed.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: And I don't know what it is about this workshop about diving deeper.
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: Um, lately, some of the scriptures that we've been going through and talking, um, even the shortest of scriptures have just been so, so powerful.
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: And there was no confusion, there is no chaos to it.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: The the truth is is so evident, and I feel like the passion that I have and that you have, I want everyone to feel that.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: You know, I want everyone to know what it feels like to have the Holy Spirit.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Um, and if people those of you that know me know that this is this is not how I'm not usually this outspoken.
- 16:39SPEAKER_01: I mean, I love to come on and talk and stuff, but I'm literally really excited about this workshop.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: And um, Bethany and I have already put a lot into it, and we will continue to put into it, but not just um because we put work into it.
- 16:55SPEAKER_01: Work work is nothing, you know.
- 16:57SPEAKER_01: Um, if we're doing it for the work, then we're doing it for the wrong reason.
- 17:01SPEAKER_01: If we're just we're doing it for self-gratification, we're doing it for the wrong reason.
- 17:05SPEAKER_01: I truly am very passionate about this, and my heart's desire is that we, Bethany and I, can help you to have a deeper connection with who God is.
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: We want to get you closer to the Father because the time is shrinking.
- 17:26SPEAKER_01: We don't have time to waste.
- 17:28SPEAKER_01: It's it's now, it's here and now.
- 17:30SPEAKER_01: We need to do this now.
- 17:32SPEAKER_01: And like I said, we've kind of waited and waited and waited, and God said, No more waiting.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: The waiting period is over.
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: You are out of time, you need to do this now.
- 17:41SPEAKER_01: And I really feel like it's really important.
- 17:43SPEAKER_01: And I feel people are really longing and looking for this and needing it, and there's gonna be so much breakthrough.
- 17:50SPEAKER_01: I can feel it already.
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: I I I feel like God is leading in a way that I can actually say this ahead of time, which I don't normally do that.
- 18:00SPEAKER_01: You know me, I don't like put the cart before the horse trying to not do that to myself because but I feel like there is going to be some breakthrough with this workshop.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: I feel like God is going to drastically show up and move in ways that we have never seen before in a workshop.
- 18:16SPEAKER_01: And I really believe that God, as long as you know, Bethany and I stay obedient to his word, which we we're doing, um, and um reaching out and trying to connect with those that need to be connected with, I believe God is going to bless this with many promises that he has given us in the in the Bible.
- 18:39SPEAKER_01: And I know you've guys have heard me talk, and if you've listened to episodes before, where I have mentioned several times that the Bible is full of hundreds and thousands of promises.
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: I don't even know how many promises.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: Do you know that number, Bethany?
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: How many promises are actually in the Bible?
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: Now I just gave myself some homework.
- 18:56SPEAKER_01: I will look that up, but not not for not right now, but I will look that up because I actually am curious.
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: There's tons of promises.
- 19:04SPEAKER_01: God obviously isn't gonna just give us all of those promises because he knows we can't handle them.
- 19:09SPEAKER_01: We're not mature enough, we're not spiritually mature enough, not just mentally or physically or or whatever, but spiritually, we're not much, excuse me, mature enough to handle the promises that God has for our lives.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: So it's important to me, and and I already feel it.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: God has already like literally laid on my heart that with this workshop, he's going to be blessing us in ways that we've never been blessed before.
- 19:37SPEAKER_01: And we're going to see his promises.
- 19:39SPEAKER_01: We're going to see some things unfold.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: We are going to unravel.
- 19:44SPEAKER_01: And it's going to be a good thing, not something that, not of punishment or fear or anxiety.
- 19:52SPEAKER_01: And it's going to be something that actually breaks anxiety.
- 19:56SPEAKER_01: It's going to break the fears.
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: It's going to break the strongholds.
- 19:59SPEAKER_01: It's going to break the things that are keeping us from what it's been keeping Bethany and I for the last year now.
- 20:05SPEAKER_01: We've been talking about doing stuff like this for a year and we have not done it.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: And like I said, God said, What are you waiting on?
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: What are you waiting on?
- 20:16SPEAKER_01: You don't have to have all the answers.
- 20:17SPEAKER_01: The answers are right in front of you.
- 20:19SPEAKER_01: We have the word of God.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: And um, so we're gonna take off, we're gonna take off running with it, but we want you to come along.
- 20:26SPEAKER_01: So we we really are asking, not just encouraging, but we are asking that you like and share this video and that you come along with us.
- 20:36SPEAKER_01: We want you to come along with us.
- 20:38SPEAKER_01: And I know we have several people that watch our episodes.
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: I was just checking our numbers, and like I know as soon as this episode gets dropped today, immediately within an hour, we always have like 17 to 30 to 45 people that go on there and and and watch it.
- 20:56SPEAKER_01: So if you're those 17 or 30 or 40 or whatever number of people that are watching it first, please share the video.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: Please send a message and say, hey, there's a workshop coming.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: Truth be told is stepping out on a limb and doing a workshop.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: Let's do this, let's do it together.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: Get your friends, bring them along.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter who they are.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's your boss, maybe you're at work and you have a boss that you're not quite getting along with.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: Maybe they need this workshop right alongside you.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: Maybe there's a bonding that needs to take place in your life.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: Maybe there's some things that need to be broke off on you.
- 21:33SPEAKER_01: Maybe there's some things that need to be broke off on your life that this workshop, I believe in my heart, is truly going to be profoundly powerful.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: Because when you operate and you walk in the divine word of God, there's nothing greater.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: Nothing at all.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: The absolute is already there.
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: So I'm firmly believing that.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: That God is going to literally break some doors open with this.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: And to the point where Bethany and Bethany and A, Bethany, excuse me, and I are going to be just blown away.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: So we want to invite you.
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: You are invited.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: And not only are we inviting you, but I am personally challenging you to come on to do it.
- 22:22SPEAKER_01: It's only 15 bucks.
- 22:24SPEAKER_01: I can pay 15 bucks.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: Bethany, I know you could pay 15 bucks.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: It is so worth it.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: And it's three workshops.
- 22:30SPEAKER_01: You never get three workshops for 15 bucks.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: Ever.
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: It's not heard of.
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: Ever.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: You might get one workshop for 15 bucks if you're lucky.
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: So it's a great, it's a great thing.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: Um it's a it's it's a it's wonderfully priced, it's wonderful.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be impacted with the word of God, and we are going to walk you through it.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: We're gonna lead you, we're gonna guide you, and you get to be a part of it.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: You get to have a say in it, you get to you get to express what God's doing in your life and share.
- 23:02SPEAKER_01: And um, we get to bring you along with us, which Bethany and I Bethany and I are so excited to do.
- 23:08SPEAKER_01: We can't wait.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: So, Bethany, um, do you have anything else to say in closing?
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: Um just like Mickey said, I also invite you to just come and be a part of something that I personally know that the Holy Spirit is going to use in your life.
- 23:36SPEAKER_02: I don't know how, but I guarantee you if you're not there, the Holy Spirit won't be able to do a work in your life like he would be if you were there.
- 23:53SPEAKER_02: And so that's my encouragement to you, that's my invitation to you, is to come and ask the Holy Spirit what he has for you in this workshop.
- 24:11SPEAKER_02: And I do believe you will be blessed for being a part, and so yes, I'm very excited.
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: Me too.
- 24:24SPEAKER_01: Um, I I feel like God is going to, um, and this is a positive word, not a bad word, but uh he's going to wreck us, he's gonna take us to such a level where um the enemy is gonna be so far away he can't touch us, and we're just gonna be wrecked for Jesus.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: We we are gonna just um I I have a sense that um there's gonna be weeping and joy and and and and and all and and all harmony, you know, because I heard something this morning that I want to share real quick as we go into to closing this episode is that as I was driving home today, is that um we are to be worshiping the Lord in everything that we do.
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: We are to worship the Lord in everything.
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: And we don't always get to decide what that looks like, but how we respond to it and what we do with it is is where the outcome is.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: And so again, I want to encourage everyone to take this episode, and I'm gonna challenge you actually to 10 or more people.
- 25:30SPEAKER_01: I want you to share it with 10 or more people, and that's a lot, that's a high number.
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: Now I'm thinking, what 10 people am I gonna send it to?
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: Literally, my my my wheels are turning, like they always do.
- 25:41SPEAKER_01: But I I challenge you to invite 10 people.
- 25:46SPEAKER_01: At minimum, invite one.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: On top of that, you come, you guys come.
- 25:53SPEAKER_01: Um join us.
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: I want to see your face, I want to hear your voice, I want to talk to you about Jesus, and we want to do it live through a live Zoom workshop.
- 26:04SPEAKER_01: And so I'm excited about this, and we have worked on on what we're we're going after here.
- 26:12SPEAKER_01: And actually, let me say that again.
- 26:16SPEAKER_01: I that is completely incorrect.
- 26:18SPEAKER_01: We haven't worked on it.
- 26:19SPEAKER_01: Holy Spirit laid it on our hearts to do to do this workshop.
- 26:23SPEAKER_01: Um, the title, everything that has come into place, it's been driven by the Holy Spirit because um I could not have came up with this myself.
- 26:33SPEAKER_01: Just gonna let you know that right off the bat.
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: I could not have put this together the way that it's already came together right off the bat.
- 26:39SPEAKER_01: And um, it's basically just laid itself out and unfolded.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: And so I truly believe that Holy Spirit is driving us to go after you.
- 26:52SPEAKER_01: And we're gonna we're coming after you.
- 26:53SPEAKER_01: We're coming after you today.
- 26:54SPEAKER_01: We're bringing you this episode today because we want you to come and join us in this workshop.
- 26:59SPEAKER_01: It will be the 5th, the 12th, and the 19th of November.
- 27:03SPEAKER_01: It will be at 10 a.m.
- 27:05SPEAKER_01: and it's a two-hour workshop.
- 27:06SPEAKER_01: I just want to say that one more time.
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: And then um, it is a$15 um uh workshop, which I think is very feasible, very doable.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: Um, and we want you guys to get involved.
- 27:20SPEAKER_01: We want you guys to you're gonna have a worksheet that's gonna follow along with the episode, and then you're gonna have a study sheet for the rest of the week taking you into the next workshop.
- 27:30SPEAKER_01: So I know that God is going to move and he's gonna move drastically.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Just be ready.
- 27:38SPEAKER_01: Be ready for some fire.
- 27:39SPEAKER_01: I feel like it's it's just gonna be lit.
- 27:41SPEAKER_01: So I'm excited, Bethany's excited.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: We just wanted to come on here and tell you about the workshop, tell you what we're doing, and tell you what God's doing with truth be told.
- 27:50SPEAKER_01: Like when Bethany and I started this, we just decided one day, hey, let's have a Bible study, you know, on a podcast and share the word of God one day.
- 27:59SPEAKER_01: That's literally how it started, isn't it?
- 28:01SPEAKER_01: Like we after you came on my other podcast, um, we we started talking and we were just um driven to share God's word and his truth.
- 28:12SPEAKER_01: And um that passion hasn't hasn't ever like gone away or faded.
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: What it has done, it has intensified to a part where it started making me have more compassion for the people that I know are hurting and broken.
- 28:27SPEAKER_01: And when I turn on the TV and I see such darkness and so much going on in the world, I feel like there's so many people that need this workshop.
- 28:37SPEAKER_01: They need it.
- 28:38SPEAKER_01: And I can't wait until we dive into it.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: I can't wait to see what God does.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: And I can't wait to see all of you in the workshop because I'm excited.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: So um very, very excited.
- 28:51SPEAKER_01: Not only are we gonna do a three-week workshop, but we are going to have more workshops after this workshop to follow suit with it.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: So hopefully you guys will love it and like it and want to follow along with us for the following workshops as well.
- 29:04SPEAKER_01: So make sure you like, follow, and share.
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: Bethany, thank you as always for coming on.
- 29:08SPEAKER_01: And it seems to be weird to be having an episode without actually sharing actual scripture from the word of God.
- 29:14SPEAKER_01: Do you have a scripture you would like to share real quick with anybody or with everybody?
- 29:18SPEAKER_02: I mean, yeah, um 1 Peter 3.9.
- 29:27SPEAKER_02: And especially the second part of that verse, where it talks about that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to heavens.
- 29:45SPEAKER_02: And the Lord has truly given me a mental visual of Christians truly living like Christians here now.
- 30:11SPEAKER_02: Not just waiting for eternity.
- 30:14SPEAKER_02: Yes, eternity will be different than here, but I do strongly believe that the Lord wants us who are truly Christians to live like it now, to experience the things he has for us now, not just waiting, and so that we can be an influence to those who are not yet Christians, because I do strongly also believe that God wants to spend eternity with everyone, but in order to do that, they need to be Christians, and so those of us who are Christians know what are we doing, and so this workshop and these workshops going forward that we're doing as well as our continued episode on truth before.
- 31:35SPEAKER_02: They are centered around helping Christians, helping those of you who are genuine Christians who know the Lord to be encouraged, be strengthened, be empowered because God truly does desire everyone to spend eternity with him.
- 32:01SPEAKER_02: But the only way they can do that is if they're Christians.
- 32:07SPEAKER_02: And so 1 Peter 3.9.
- 32:11SPEAKER_01: Thank you for sharing that.
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: Sorry about that, I thought you were done.
- 32:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, great.
- 32:17SPEAKER_01: That's that's so true.
- 32:20SPEAKER_01: And I think that um on a more somber um um word, real quick, as we close out here, that um our desire isn't just that we share the got the the gospel with you and the truth.
- 32:34SPEAKER_01: Our desire is to see you in eternity.
- 32:37SPEAKER_01: And um I I feel like I the word says it very clearly, and I'm not saying this to be a fearmonger, but the word says a lot of people know him, but they will not be with him.
- 32:50SPEAKER_01: Um so we need to make sure that we know who God is to such a deeper level that we have a personal, intimate relationship with him.
- 33:03SPEAKER_01: And you're gonna learn how to do that in this workshop.
- 33:05SPEAKER_01: If you feel disconnected, if you feel like you are not sure, if you are 100% not sure where you are going, even as a Christian, I hear so many Christians go, I'm you know, I'm I'm doubting my salvation, I'm doubting my salvation.
- 33:21SPEAKER_01: You need this workshop.
- 33:22SPEAKER_01: You need this workshop.
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: This workshop is going to shed some light and it's going to help you to reconnect.
- 33:30SPEAKER_01: If you have, if you've been backslidden or drawn away or um sitting on the fence, I know so many Christians just sit on the fence and watch.
- 33:40SPEAKER_01: They don't do anything.
- 33:43SPEAKER_01: You don't get to heaven by watching, you guys.
- 33:45SPEAKER_01: You have to be a doer of the word.
- 33:48SPEAKER_01: And I myself was one of those.
- 33:50SPEAKER_01: I was a people person where I just sit and watch everybody else.
- 33:53SPEAKER_01: Just watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, and not do.
- 33:56SPEAKER_01: And God said, enough of that.
- 33:58SPEAKER_01: Enough of that.
- 33:59SPEAKER_01: It's time to move.
- 34:00SPEAKER_01: That's why we're doing this workshop.
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: God said it's time to move.
- 34:04SPEAKER_01: We are on the move.
- 34:05SPEAKER_01: We are gonna go, we are diving in, we're going deeper, and we want you to come along.
- 34:09SPEAKER_01: And so thank you for joining us today.
- 34:11SPEAKER_01: Thank you for listening to all of our excitement.
- 34:14SPEAKER_01: Bethany, thank you for uh 1 Peter 9 and um bringing um actual scripture, as well as um your excitement as well.
- 34:24SPEAKER_01: And thank you for just partnering partnering with me to do this workshop because it's gonna be great.
- 34:30SPEAKER_01: And I can't wait, and Bethany and Bethany and I cannot wait to partner with you in this workshop so that we can join forces as Christians and we can start lifting one another up.
- 34:41SPEAKER_01: We are supposed to lift each other up.
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: The world is so busy knocking everyone down.
- 34:48SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you've been knocked down lately.
- 34:50SPEAKER_01: I know I have.
- 34:52SPEAKER_01: I've been knocked down a lot lately.
- 34:54SPEAKER_01: And God keeps saying, get up, get up, get up.
- 34:58SPEAKER_01: You can you can do this.
- 35:00SPEAKER_01: And I just spoke with the lady yesterday that that said, I just a very strong Christian woman that I know, she said, I just don't know if I can go on any more.
- 35:11SPEAKER_01: That's how that's how hard the world feels on our shoulders right now.
- 35:17SPEAKER_01: We need to get back to the feet of Jesus.
- 35:20SPEAKER_01: We need to get back into the word, and we need to lean on the everlasting arms.
- 35:26SPEAKER_01: That's what it says.
- 35:27SPEAKER_01: Lean on the everlasting arms, everlasting, not earthly, not temporal, everlasting arms.
- 35:34SPEAKER_01: So I want to encourage you in doing that.
- 35:36SPEAKER_01: Sign up.
- 35:37SPEAKER_01: As soon as the sign-ups come out, sign up.

- 35:53SPEAKER_01: We can't wait to talk with you, and we can't wait just to break bread and fellowship with you.
- 35:58SPEAKER_01: That's what we want to do.
- 35:59SPEAKER_01: And we want it to be where we get to bring glory to God because that's what we're supposed to be doing in all of it.
- 36:04SPEAKER_01: And so I just thank you all for listening.
- 36:06SPEAKER_01: I thank you for this episode.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: And if it wasn't for you guys, truth be told, wouldn't even still be going on.
