• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um gosh, they're absolutely amazing, and those of you that have them know exactly what I mean.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um so what I want you to do before next week is um give some thought to what spiritual principles, what life lessons could you pull out of the story of the three little pigs.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: And um, all I want to do is talk about again, same thing we always talk about.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: How to um how to get us where we want to go, how to overcome the obstacles, and uh quick little reminder um virtually all the obstacles that that have the power and impact to stop us are inside of us, not outside of us.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: And um I just found that it's a cool little story to think through.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I do this when I'm uh doing presentations, particularly with leadership staff types of situations.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: And um uh, you know, um I'll ask them to, you know, just talk to me and I'll get responses like, you know, listen to your mother and things like that, which are great.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: Then I'll get some really cool responses.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: So next week we're gonna talk about that and uh build on it.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: And if you need a scriptural like something to help you to why in the world would I be using the three little pigs, um parable of sower talks about four different soils and how they ended.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: And uh sometimes when I um teach on it, I'll call the parable of sower um the parable of arrested development.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: And um I just believe that uh story through little picks parallels that nicely.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: So um you guys have a great week.
