SPEAKER_00: Wow.
6:36
SPEAKER_00: All right.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: Do we have any oppressing announcements coming up?
6:40
SPEAKER_00: I can't think of anything else.
6:42
SPEAKER_03: Do you want to talk about camp scholarships?
6:44
SPEAKER_00: Camp scholarships.
6:45
SPEAKER_00: If you're sending your kids to any Christian camp this summer, make sure you let the office know.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: Is that correct?
6:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: It's like, is it$60 per camper that you get towards your camp fees?
6:55
SPEAKER_00: So if you're going to you know, if you're sending your kids to a camp, maybe it's camp union, maybe it's Western Buckeye, maybe it's paintball camp, maybe it's that's well it's too late for that.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: But uh we do that a different kind of way.
7:08
SPEAKER_00: Everybody still gets their$60 through paintball camp, too.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: But if you're not going to that, then make sure you talk to the office people, which would be pretty.
7:17
SPEAKER_03: Me.
7:17
SPEAKER_00: And Katrina.
7:18
SPEAKER_03: And Katrina.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: So those are cool.
7:20
SPEAKER_00: I like the missions team gives to the the camp, uh the camp scene in the summer.
7:26
SPEAKER_00: Christian camps are I think they're really important.
7:29
SPEAKER_00: I think they're opportunities to help kids grow and give them something fun to do in the summer, and it's beneficial.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: So I don't think of anything anything else announcement wise.
7:40
SPEAKER_03: Brittany, you just did all the announcements for the I mean there is, but none that we need to talk about.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, check the bulletin.

SPEAKER_03: And they're all something has to be crazy.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: One of them doesn't have to be true.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, one of them's gotta be.
13:06
SPEAKER_03: That's like percentage-wise, one of them's gotta be true.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: I'm just saying.
13:16
SPEAKER_00: I know you are.
13:18
SPEAKER_02: All right, moving on.
13:19
SPEAKER_02: Last question.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: If you're curious, you should ask Britney about her conspiracy theories.
13:22
SPEAKER_00: Pull her to the side this Sunday.
13:24
SPEAKER_02: People would think we are nuts.
13:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: Well, never mind.
13:30
SPEAKER_02: Okay, next question.
13:32
SPEAKER_02: How could carousels be spiced up so they are more exciting?
13:37
SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, I like this question.
13:38
SPEAKER_00: I like this question.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: I mean, give everybody a pool noodle and you beat people until they fall off.
13:47
SPEAKER_03: I was gonna say.
13:49
unknown: What?
13:51
SPEAKER_00: Or you give everybody like a birthday hat and they wear it in pool noodles and then you knock knock people's hats off as you go around and you have to jump from horse to horse while it's spinning.
13:59
SPEAKER_03: Okay, get rid of the horses.
14:01
SPEAKER_03: Okay, get rid of the horses.
14:03
SPEAKER_03: Okay, okay.
14:04
SPEAKER_03: They're just a pole with handles and kick up the speed.
14:10
SPEAKER_03: Last one on when they were flying in the air.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: That's fascinating.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: You have like, are you like in some like a when you get thrown off?
14:27
SPEAKER_00: It's like a bull ride.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: It's like a bull ride.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: You get thrown off into like a pit of balls or something.
14:32
SPEAKER_03: Oh this idea has only been 10 seconds long.
14:35
SPEAKER_03: I haven't had enough to work out the kinks.
14:38
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
14:39
SPEAKER_00: That's a great question.
14:41
SPEAKER_00: What's yours, dude?
14:42
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I was thinking like I was gonna keep the carousel the way it was.
14:45
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
14:46
SPEAKER_02: But every time it went like down, it made a different noise.
14:49
SPEAKER_02: Like really weird noise.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: You just kind of had to guess what noise was gonna be next or what it was, but you know, the noise that I like time.
14:58
SPEAKER_00: I like all these ideas.
15:00
SPEAKER_03: How exciting to guess the noise.
15:05
SPEAKER_03: You're right.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: Is it like do you have like a big screen?
15:07
SPEAKER_00: You got multiple choice, like what sound was that?
15:10
SPEAKER_00: Or like I don't know.
15:12
SPEAKER_02: I had 10 seconds to think about it.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
15:15
SPEAKER_02: I just thought every because it goes up and then it goes down.
15:17
SPEAKER_02: Like, okay, every time it goes down, you know how people, your kids pranking, you put a whoopee cushion under you.
15:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm just thinking there's gotta be something that sound of farting noises.
15:26
SPEAKER_02: Those horses are farting the entire time, but definitely one of them's gonna be the wow.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm I like that question.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: That's one of the best icebreakers we had.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: I gotta say.
15:36
SPEAKER_00: That was good.
15:38
SPEAKER_02: Um don't ever put us in charge of building a carousel.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: If you have your own cool ideas how to spice up a carousel, leave them in the comments or let us know.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: Um we'll share them next time.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: That was a good one.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: That's good.
15:52
SPEAKER_02: I redeemed my jokes.
15:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that's for sure.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: Not that your jokes were bad.
15:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's okay.
15:59
SPEAKER_02: At this point, it's kind of funny to be bad.
16:01
SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, it's entertaining, whether it's funny or not.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: All right, wrap it, bring it together here.
16:09
SPEAKER_03: That's my favorite thing when we're dying laughing, and Cody's like, okay.
16:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, come on, you guys.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: People are counting on me to bring you guys back in.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh I've had that comment before.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: Somebody said, You do a good job of bringing it back together.
16:24
SPEAKER_02: And that's why you're here, because it was just bringing your eye here on your ears laughing the whole time.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: So when I'm out for a week, you guys can do it.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: No podcast.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: No podcast.
16:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no.
16:37
SPEAKER_03: It would just be us wheezing under the microphone for 30 minutes.
16:40
SPEAKER_00: Lovely.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: So today's topic that we're gonna talk about, we're going to me and Ashley are going to paintball camp next week with the youth.
16:48
SPEAKER_00: We're taking, well, there's 25 teenagers at paintball camp, 19 of them from up here at Rush Church.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: So we're taking a group down, leave Sunday, come back Friday.
16:59
SPEAKER_00: And paintball camp is, you've never been.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: What do you think of when you think of paintball camp?
17:05
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I definitely feel like there is gonna be paintball.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: That's a good start.
17:11
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for that.
17:13
SPEAKER_03: Well, I was gonna say, like, I don't know.
17:16
SPEAKER_03: What if I say something really cool and then you don't have that?
17:19
SPEAKER_00: I just I just I don't care.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: I want to know your like when you hear we're going to paintball camp, what do you think of in your head?
17:24
SPEAKER_03: I think of this really cool camp that has like port things everywhere that you guys hide behind and play paintball with.
17:35
SPEAKER_03: And I think about you probably have campfire time, which is cool.
17:42
SPEAKER_03: And just hanging out, like the camps you see on TV.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: Sounds good.
17:48
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's kind of what we do at camp.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: We uh we do play paintball.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: We have campfires, we do camp things, it's really fun.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: And so if you've never been, but me and Ashley have been uh several times.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: I remember the first time you brought it to this church, and I thought, paintball camp?
18:07
SPEAKER_02: How in the world are you gonna spend a whole camp just playing paintball?
18:09
SPEAKER_02: Like that's all I thought you did.
18:11
SPEAKER_00: We don't do that, we do other things besides paintball.
18:13
SPEAKER_00: We do we do paintball every day after lunch for a couple hours.
18:18
SPEAKER_00: But it's more than that.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: We call it paintball camp because it's exciting, and kids are like we have people sign up, but just because it's called paintball camp.
18:25
SPEAKER_00: And then I get them there, I'm like, ah, got my Bible out, and you're gonna listen to this.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Gotcha.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: No, not really, but uh we have really have a good group of people that are going.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: Some returners and some people that are going for the first time, so excited about that.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: I thought I would just talk a little bit about camp, the theme that we're gonna be talking about scripturally, scripturally.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I have a hard time talking.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, we're just gonna break down the theme and the topic, and Ashley gets a sneak peek of what we're doing, and everybody else can kind of know what we're gonna be doing while we're there.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: It's me and Ashley, Cole Carpenter.
19:02
SPEAKER_00: Those are the main ones that are going this year, right?
19:04
SPEAKER_02: Allie Anu.
19:05
SPEAKER_00: Allie Ainu.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: Two girls and two guys.
19:10
SPEAKER_02: Two girls and two guys.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, we have a whole week.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: And then I'm bringing in a one of my good friends who's gonna speak for us, and he's gonna help help out throughout the week, too.
19:19
SPEAKER_00: But so the the theme this year for the whole camp is called Anchored, and it's about being anchored in your faith.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: What what kind of keeping your faith solid, making sure that it's uh well well grounded and anchored, I guess you could say.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: So my friend who's doing the lessons for us at nighttime, at night, the evening sessions, he thought it would be cool to do some like water-based stories.
19:44
SPEAKER_00: So all the stories that we're gonna be looking at from scripture have to do with water, and they're kind of like big impact events, like parting the Red Sea, Jesus walking on water, Jonah being tossed into the sea, swallowed by a big fish.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: So kind of like those type of things, where it's like these big, huge, big, huge events.
20:05
SPEAKER_00: And so that's kind of what we're gonna talk about then.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: And then for our small group time that we're gonna have our Bible studies in the mornings, we are going to focus in on, you know, those big spiritual moments in our lives, those big things that happen, they're really powerful and they're really deep and they're really good.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: But you can't just live your faith by those huge mountaintop experiences, and then in between those, do nothing.
20:30
SPEAKER_00: So it's like in the morning, we're talking about how these big experiences are really good.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: You come to camp, you have a a retreat, or you know, even like a cool Sunday night worship experience or something like that.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: It's like a mountain, it's like a spiritual high, I guess you could say.
20:44
SPEAKER_00: Those those are good, but you can't depend on those to sustain your faith because they're too far and few between.
20:51
SPEAKER_00: So you have to go to the well daily, you have to go throughout the week, throughout your life, go back to Jesus, go back to the source of living water, is kind of what we're gonna talk about.
21:01
SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of like the main theme that we're gonna be doing.
21:03
SPEAKER_00: And so I was gonna ask, like, have you guys ever had what's like some of the things that you guys have experienced that are like spiritual highs, I guess you could say?
21:11
SPEAKER_00: Like mountaintop experiences.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: Oh man.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: I think as a teenager, every year I went to Acquire the Fire was like a mountaintop high.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: Well, tell us what that is.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: And then you'd come home and you're like, I don't know what that is.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: Right.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: What's acquire the fire?
21:23
SPEAKER_02: So Acquire the Fire was put on by Teen Mania.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: They're actually no longer in business.
21:28
SPEAKER_02: However, it it was a good program in the beginning, and it was just it was a three-day actually, yeah.
21:36
SPEAKER_02: So Friday through Sunday, they traveled around the nation.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: Youth groups from all over would gather together in big arenas and just be immersed in worship and teaching and dramatic, you know, dramas and and fire and effects.
21:49
SPEAKER_02: And it was just like everybody to the altar.
21:52
SPEAKER_02: And you know, when you're surrounded by 10,000 other teenagers, that's a huge high.
21:56
SPEAKER_02: And I love Jesus and I love God, and I want to do so many amazing things.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: things and then you come home and you got your back to your everyday life.
22:04
SPEAKER_00: Back to the grind.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: Back to the routine of everyday life.
22:08
SPEAKER_00: And so well anything coming to mind, Brittany, about like a well, I just went to Superstart for the first time.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
22:15
SPEAKER_03: And that was wonderful.
22:18
SPEAKER_03: But I do feel like even if you haven't experienced things like that, that you can get a spiritual high just on Sunday mornings.
22:26
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
22:26
SPEAKER_03: I mean a regular service.
22:29
SPEAKER_03: Like especially if you are going through something really big and then you come in and after worship and you know seeing everybody like you can still feel like that even though it wasn't this firework event or a bunch of different people and just experience it by yourself.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: These big big moments are you know they could be camps.
22:51
SPEAKER_00: They could be retreats like that.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: They could be a superstar they could be a winter jam.
22:54
SPEAKER_00: They could do like all these cool things where you gather as a big group or you deal these but that could also be like you know Sunday morning worship.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: It could be like you know you feel connected you feel in or when you first give your life to Christ or you first encounter Jesus or you first encounter this the gospel for the first time you're like this is really good news.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: Like is this true?
23:13
SPEAKER_00: And then you live it and then all of a sudden it kind of falls off as you go.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: Right.
23:18
SPEAKER_00: And and so camps are these you know camps and retreats these things that we do like paintball camp are these big mountaintop I'll call them experiences or like you know being like a fire hydrant like all at one time just like a rush of taking in all this stuff.
23:34
SPEAKER_00: And then you have those and then I think for most people that aren't doing those kind of things Sundays are like our mountaintop experiences during the week we come to church we're all together we we eat together we sing and praise together we learn together and it's kind of like a a big time experience and not even once a week on a Sunday can sustain your faith the way it should be.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: And so the daily grind of going back to Jesus every day or going back to refreshing your your yourself with God each day is kind of one of the themes I'm going to be talking about while we're at camp.
24:10
SPEAKER_00: Like you're at camp this week it's easy to kind of get up on that top of that mountain and experience this week and be like this is amazing.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: We're doing Bible studies every day.
24:18
SPEAKER_00: We have quiet times we have speakers we have all these fun things we're with everybody when you go back home it'll be different like it always is right and so preparing them for living their faith on a daily basis and kind of giving them habits giving them things to do is kind of what we're going to be doing at camp next week.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: And so I thought I would just share that with you guys.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: But the the spiritual spiritual highs the Sunday mornings the camps the retreats the big time moments in our lives the mountains are for vision and revelation it changes your perspective but you can't build a home there.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: It changes how you see life but you can't stay there if that makes sense.
24:54
SPEAKER_00: The well is for daily things it's like a sustaining and helps you survive.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: You visit it daily to keep moving so Luke 933 on the Mount of Transfiguration Peter says this to Jesus when he goes up and it's like you know this huge moment where Jesus is like glowing his face is like shining so bright and they're like hear God's voice again and and and Peter says Master it is good for us to be here let us put up three shelters he wanted to stay in that mountaintop moment he wanted to stay there.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: Jesus immediately said no we can't stay here and led them down the mountain out into the world again to do more work to to to because the work and the people and the daily walk were not on top of the mountain but out there as we go through the week.
25:41
SPEAKER_00: And you see this idea of when you have those spiritual highs when you have a good Sunday morning or a good Sunday or a good camp or a good retreat and and you're like I want to stay here in this moment forever and Jesus like you can't stay here.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: This is to help you see what you should be doing every day throughout your life and stuff like that.
25:58
SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
25:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah sound good yes okay any thoughts before I move on well I have thoughts but you keep going in case you're gonna say the thought oh okay the uh the deception of the mountaintops is you know this idea of if you just live on the highs and you just you're only really thinking about God on Sundays or at a camp or during these certain times it just kind of gives your faith like a roller coaster effect and it's either you're really high or you're really low and when emotion fades people assume that God has left them.
26:37
SPEAKER_00: So when you just survive off the big time experiences it'll feel like God's not there in the low points if you're not staying connected to him.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: And so my next scripture that I had on here was 1 Kings 19 a story from Elijah he has this massive mountaintop victory against the prophets of Baal and they have this showdown where he lights the guy he calls on God to light the altar and God puts fire down.
27:03
SPEAKER_00: It's this huge thing and he defeats the the false God of Baal and his prophets and everything like that.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: It's this huge victory and immediately afterward he runs into the wilderness exhausted and depressed begging God to die.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: And so it's from this mountaintop to the lowest low God doesn't meet his exhaustion with another massive fire from heaven he talks to him in a gentle whisper it's this idea of you can't expect God to show up on you know on these huge level all the time sometimes he's talks to us on the daily grind in little whispers and different things and you have to be close to him to hear a whisper.
27:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah he'll he'll show up at big things he'll show up on Sundays he'll show up in corporate worship he'll show up in camps and retreats and superstart and stuff like that and it'll be loud and be like I can't how could you miss him?
27:49
SPEAKER_00: He's right there.
27:50
SPEAKER_00: How could you not see it?
27:51
SPEAKER_00: And then you go you leave and you go out into your life and you feel like he's not even why isn't it like that?
27:58
SPEAKER_00: Well he doesn't always speak in the big way sometimes it's a whisper like he talks to Elijah here.
28:02
SPEAKER_00: And so if you're not going back to him on a daily basis you're gonna miss the whispers.
28:06
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna miss the intimate moments that he wants to have with you on a on a daily basis.
28:12
SPEAKER_00: You guys ever experienced that before on a spiritual high and then you're like oh Jesus is amazing and then it's a random Thursday morning you're like tired, wore out you feel like where are you?
28:26
SPEAKER_03: Have you ever is it just me or okay no I've definitely felt like that I think that especially that is true when you are just when your relationship is really new.
28:38
SPEAKER_03: When you're first putting forth effort into your relationship with Christ I think that those highs feel so good and kind of like how you feel in a in a regular relationship I may be way out of bounds by the way but in a regular relationship you use those big highs and you're like oh this this is so great and that feeling but the more that you actually are bonded with that person or the more you're bonded with Christ and the more that your love is genuine with them then the highs and lows aren't as much I mean I still feel the highs but they're like leveled out like it's it's a constant.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah it's not the roller coaster of yeah oh this is great and then oh it's terrible it's more of you'll still have them but it's more leveled out like you said.
29:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah like there'll be times where I'm like okay I need to check back in because I'm losing sight of what's important and I know better.
29:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah it happens because especially when it's a like a huge moment and you're like this is amazing.
29:43
SPEAKER_02: You can see God working in this thing and then you have to come down off the mountain and and then you know you could been a Christian for a long time and still have those be like oh you know and one of my boss says we were talking about that that whisper moment too because sometimes you can get stuck in comparing yourself like watching somebody experience something so amazing you know spiritually spiritual growth or somebody getting baptized or you know just something really awesome for them.
30:15
SPEAKER_02: And you're like man God that you moved so much in their life.
30:18
SPEAKER_02: What what about me?
30:20
SPEAKER_02: Like what you know and just because it was it was a good reminder that just because I wasn't experiencing that that mountaintop high like they were does not mean that God's not moving in my life even with a whisper.
30:35
SPEAKER_02: Right.
30:35
SPEAKER_02: You know and so I think that that is just another good reminder.
30:39
SPEAKER_02: Thanks God for bringing that up again.
30:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: And that's why it's important to building these habits of daily daily time with him.
30:49
SPEAKER_01: Right.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: So that it doesn't get to the point where you miss the whispers or you feel left out when somebody else is on a mountaintop and you're like I'm down in a valley right now.
30:58
SPEAKER_00: Right.
30:59
SPEAKER_00: And I don't think God but he is still there.
31:02
SPEAKER_00: We just you know it's the old thing that I say it's the I've said it a lot but like a lot of people be like well God's just not close to me He's moved far away God doesn't go anywhere he's always right there.
31:14
SPEAKER_00: We're the ones that come and go closer or further away from him and so some of these some of these things you know it's like Matthew 611 in the Lord's prayer Jesus didn't teach us to pray for a monthly spiritual uh inheritance he taught us to pray give us today our daily bread it's a daily thing not just he didn't say teach us to pray like keep me going for a month here and there it's it's come back every day.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like a Thanksgiving feast you can't survive a whole year on a Thanksgiving dinner.
31:47
SPEAKER_00: You gotta eat every day or you can't just survive the week on biscuits and gravy at Rush Church on Sunday morning.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: You have to eat so it's kind of like that the mountaintop is the feast and and and you have to continue to sustain yourself as you go away from that so I liked that analogy a little bit that I had in my notes here and oh here's a here's a psalm you guys like Psalms worship and poetry and songs and stuff when so David writes in Psalm 631 David wrote this while in the desert of Judah he says oh God you are my God earnestly I seek you my soul thirsts for you my body longs for you in a dry and weary land where there is no water David didn't pray for the desert disappear he looked for God in it.
32:39
SPEAKER_00: So even in the hard times he's not asking him to take away all the things he's where are you?
32:44
SPEAKER_00: Where can I find you in this hard time?
32:46
SPEAKER_00: Talks about thirsting for God and wanting to be where he is so he realizes he's in a desert he's in a hard place he's not saying save me from this he's saying where are you?
32:54
SPEAKER_00: I want to know where you are in this struggle or in this challenge in my life and so I kind of like that idea of also often we'll just pray and be like God take this away or save me from this hard thing that's happened in my life when really we should be like what?
33:09
SPEAKER_00: You should be like God I want I want to know where you are in this with me.
33:12
SPEAKER_00: Are you still here and take me through this together with him because even for me like so often when I pray it's like I want this to not have be this way or I want this to be fixed and it's not okay we're in this together what should I do while I'm in this hard section it's always rescue me or save me from this it's okay not it's not a bad thing to pray that way I don't think but sometimes if we flip it and be like well if I just trust him I want to know where he is in this hard moment that's what we should be focused on focus on him.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: And so practic practical things we can do on a daily basis what are some things that we can do to get in the habit of going to the well every day through life I guess.
33:59
SPEAKER_03: Well I think that these spiritual highs that you've been talking about I mean the reason they are the spiritual highs is because daily you're worshiping daily you're in your Bible daily you're just even talking about God.
34:15
SPEAKER_03: You know I mean when you sit back and think about it, I mean we're here so we kind of speak about Christ more than maybe the average person but when you're out and about during the day and you're just going to the grocery taking your kids to school all this I mean are you even speaking to him or about him in any way?
34:38
SPEAKER_03: Right.
34:39
SPEAKER_03: I think that's the first that could be the first step if not prayer I guess.
34:44
SPEAKER_02: But yeah I mean I agree I think the the daily it just even the daily conversation like if I'm driving sometimes I sometimes my day consists of a lot of driving and I can't just open up my Bible but I just talk to God in my car you know randomly it's just it's he's he's like a friend that you have here on earth you know yeah the same it's the same concept he's listening he wants you to talk to him he wants you to have a relationship with him there you go that's what I have written down so I don't really know what the is it really yes kind of the idea of I actually really like doing that to you.
35:23
SPEAKER_00: Keep it small and sustainable you know if you don't have time for a half an hour or an hour Bible study a day most people don't have time for that daily you know make make take the little time you do have and and focus on some God time five dedicated minutes a day maybe while you're waiting for the coffee to brew you read some scripture or you say a prayer or if you're in a pickup line or if you're stuck somewhere if you're waiting in an office somewhere got Bible on your phone if you don't you should you can always have a Bible with you and you can pray anywhere even if you don't have anything you can reflect and think about you know think about your relationship with God and what's going on with you and him and take some time to go to the well and get a drink.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: Refresh yourself in your faith Psalm 119105 your word is a lamp into my feet a light into my path and so you don't need a massive you know huge light all the time you just need enough light from the word for your next step for that day.
36:27
SPEAKER_00: So it's like daily things.
36:29
SPEAKER_00: A lamp is a small little light source and you just go as you go you don't need to know you don't have to have a huge you know it's it's one day at a time one step at a time I guess is what I was trying to say with that one.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: Little tiny things go a long way.
36:47
SPEAKER_00: So stop consuming and start staying close to Jesus.
36:52
SPEAKER_00: Stop treating your quiet time like an assignment that you have to check off.
36:56
SPEAKER_00: Stop treating reading the Bible like oh John told me I need to read the Bible more my church tells me I need to rather read the Bible more so I need to check it off my list of don't make your relationship with God another thing to check off your list for the day.
37:08
SPEAKER_00: If you do that there's no point.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: I mean it's it's not a might as well not do it if you're just doing it to check off.
37:15
SPEAKER_00: We do these things because we want to grow we want to know who God is we want to know him in a deeper way.
37:23
SPEAKER_00: If it's not your goal then I I don't you know it's kind of pointless.
37:30
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of harsh I think but I I think it is true.
37:33
SPEAKER_02: Very true.
37:34
SPEAKER_00: Like if you're just reading to check it off or you're just praying because you were told to then there's no no true relationship there.
37:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah it's just like a marriage.
37:43
SPEAKER_02: Like if you're not you're not really putting effort into your spouse why are you even married?
37:49
SPEAKER_03: Also they will know.
37:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah yep don't do that and don't do that with Jesus either because he knows I mean it's just the same thing.
38:00
SPEAKER_00: It's like if you're coming to church just to sit in a pew just to check it off your list and think well I need to go church because somebody told me it's a good thing to do or you know it's because it's what I've always done and you're not involved or you're not looking to change I guess like it's okay to I mean cut keep coming to church I guess but like if you've been doing it for a long time and you just do it because it's what you've always done you just sit in a chair is it what is it a waste of time?
38:29
SPEAKER_00: Right.
38:30
SPEAKER_00: I think so.
38:31
SPEAKER_02: What's your heart behind it?
38:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of that the idea of uh don't treat this whole quiet time this daily going to the well as a checklist it's a it's it's for your benefit.
38:43
SPEAKER_00: If you're not doing it for the right reasons then don't do it at all.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus even kind of alludes to that in some of the gospel of like if you're not motivated for the right reasons or you're not doing it because out of out of love for me then yeah whatever it's not that good.
39:00
SPEAKER_00: And then let's see what was I gonna finish with oh manna back to the manna in the wilderness in in the old testament when they're out in the wilderness and Moses leading the people God gave the Israelites manna how often did you give it to them?
39:15
unknown: Daily.
39:16
SPEAKER_00: One day at a time if they tried to hoard it for tomorrow what happened to it it rotted it rotted.
39:22
SPEAKER_00: Good job look at you guys so it's a daily thing God will give you what you need on a daily basis.
39:28
SPEAKER_00: It's not you know the mountaintop experience can sustain you for just a little while but it's not going to sustain your faith for long periods of time.
39:35
SPEAKER_00: We've seen that we've all experienced the mountaintop and then come off of it and been like if we don't put effort into our relationship with Jesus and we don't make it a daily thing then it's gonna fade.
39:49
SPEAKER_00: And so you know that's really what I wanted to talk about.
39:55
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna talk about camp next week.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: So that'll be the topics of what we're what we're learning about.
40:00
SPEAKER_00: So if you thinking about us next week while we're at camp pray for our students that are there.
40:04
SPEAKER_00: Pray that uh they have a really good mountaintop experience but then after that continue to pray for them.
40:09
SPEAKER_00: They don't just have that and then fall back into a valley or whatever.
40:16
SPEAKER_00: So that's what we're gonna try to do.
40:18
SPEAKER_00: That's what up my lessons and all my things that I've put together for next week are geared towards experiencing God in this moment and having a great week and then being able to take it and keep growing when they go back home.
40:31
SPEAKER_00: So is that what you guys kind of got from that a little bit hopefully from the whole thing.
40:36
SPEAKER_02: It's a great it's a great reset.
40:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah good reset and so those for those of you listening maybe you need to work on your daily daily moments with God and then Sunday is good Sunday's good to be here at Rust Church or whatever church you go to but you can't you can't expect a two hour service on Sunday morning to last you the week.
40:59
SPEAKER_00: You gotta keep going back to it on a daily basis in little ways and that's why I said just you know make it a habit.
41:05
SPEAKER_00: Get into the habit of when you're waiting for your coffee to be done or when you're waiting for something or you have a spare moment in your day use it use it to go back to to God and kind of refresh yourself or however you want to do that.
41:21
