  do

  when

  life
• 0:38
  puts
• 0:38
  weight
• 0:39
  on
• 0:39
  your
• 0:39
  shoulders
• 0:39
  that
• 0:40
  you
• 0:40
  were
• 0:40
  never

  to

  early?

  What

  you

  do
• 0:44
  when

  when
• 0:46
  responsibility
• 0:47

  and
• 0:49
  people

  your

  own
• 0:51
  strength
• 0:51
  is
• 0:51
  wearing
• 0:52
  thin?
• 0:53
  Today
• 0:54
  we
• 0:54
  got
• 0:54
  a
• 0:54
  voicemail
• 0:55
  from
• 0:55
  someone
• 0:55
  who's
• 0:56
  in
• 0:56
  their
• 0:56
  20s,
• 0:57
  whose
• 0:57
  life
• 0:57
  changed
• 0:58
  overnight
• 0:58
  when
• 0:58
  their
• 0:58
  mom
• 0:59
  passed
• 0:59
  away
• 0:59
  unexpectedly.
• 1:01
  Since
• 1:01
  then,
• 1:02
  they've
• 1:02
  been
• 1:02
  raising
• 1:02
  their
• 1:02
  younger
• 1:03
  brother,
• 1:03
  trying
• 1:04
  to
• 1:04
  provide
• 1:04
  stability
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  doing
• 1:05
  everything
• 1:06
  they
• 1:06
  can
• 1:06
  just
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  keep
• 1:07
  life
• 1:07
  from
• 1:07
  falling
• 1:08
  apart.
• 1:09
  They
• 1:09
  sacrifice.
• 1:11
  They've
• 1:11
  worked,
• 1:12
  they
• 1:12
  pushed
• 1:13
  through
• 1:13
  exhaustion.
• 1:15
  They
• 1:15
  kept
• 1:15
  showing
• 1:16
  up
• 1:16
  for
• 1:17
  someone
• 1:17
  they
• 1:17
  deeply
• 1:18
  love.
• 1:19
  But
• 1:19
  now,
• 1:19
  after
• 1:20
  an
• 1:20
  injury,
• 1:21
  losing
• 1:21
  a
• 1:21
  job,
• 1:22
  falling
• 1:22
  behind
• 1:23
  on
• 1:23
  rent,
• 1:23
  and
• 1:23
  running
• 1:23
  out
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  options,
• 1:25
  they're
• 1:25
  facing
• 1:26
  a
• 1:26
  terrifying
• 1:27
  question.
• 1:29
  What
• 1:29
  happens
• 1:29
  when
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  strength
• 1:30
  you've
• 1:30
  been
• 1:30
  surviving
• 1:31
  on
• 1:31
  starts
• 1:32
  running
• 1:32
  out?
• 1:34
  And
• 1:34
  friend,
• 1:35
  if
• 1:35
  that's
• 1:35
  where
• 1:35
  you
• 1:35
  are
• 1:35
  today,
• 1:37
  I
• 1:37
  want
• 1:37
  you
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  know
• 1:37
  this.
• 1:39
  Being
• 1:39
  overwhelmed
• 1:40
  doesn't
• 1:40
  mean
• 1:40
  you're
• 1:41
  weak.
• 1:42
  Sometimes
• 1:43
  it
• 1:43
  means
• 1:43
  you're
• 1:43
  carrying
• 1:44
  more
• 1:44
  than
• 1:44
  one
• 1:44
  person
• 1:44
  was
• 1:45
  meant
• 1:45
  to
• 1:45
  carry
• 1:45
  alone.
• 1:47
  Let's
• 1:47
  walk
• 1:47
  through
• 1:47
  that
• 1:48
  together
• 1:48
  on
• 1:48
  today's
• 1:48
  show.
• 1:58
  Hello,

• 2:04
  This

  is
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  show
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  helps
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  handle
• 2:06
  money
• 2:06
  with
• 2:06
  wisdom,
• 2:07
  with
• 2:07
  peace,
• 2:08
  and
• 2:09
  with
• 2:09
  purpose.
• 2:10
  And
• 2:11
  here
• 2:11
  we're
• 2:11
  breaking
• 2:11
  down
• 2:11
  that
• 2:12
  cycle
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  financial
• 2:13
  shame
• 2:13
  with
• 2:13
  biblical
• 2:14
  truth,
• 2:15
  practical
• 2:15
  steps,
• 2:16
  and
• 2:17
  steady
• 2:17
  confidence.
• 2:19
  And
• 2:19
  today
• 2:19
  we're
• 2:20
  talking
• 2:20
  about
• 2:20
  how
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  keep
• 2:21
  going
• 2:21
  when
• 2:21
  life
• 2:22
  force
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  to
• 2:22
  grow
• 2:22
  up
• 2:23
  too
• 2:23
  fast.
• 2:24
  And
• 2:25
  now
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  pressure
• 2:25
  feels
• 2:26
  heavier
• 2:26
  than
• 2:26
  you
• 2:26
  can
• 2:27
  hold.
• 2:29
  Be
• 2:29
  ready.
• 2:29
  This
• 2:30
  voicemail
• 2:30
  question
• 2:30
  today
• 2:32
  was
• 2:32
  amazing
• 2:33
  when
• 2:33
  we
• 2:33
  got
• 2:33
  it.
• 2:34
  I'm
• 2:35
  gonna
• 2:35
  get
• 2:35
  right
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  it
• 2:35
  right
• 2:35
  now.
• 2:37
  Ralph,
• 2:37
  this
• 2:37
  is
• 2:37
  Kevin.
• 2:39
  I've
• 2:39
  recently
• 2:39
  discovered
• 2:40
  your
• 2:40
  show,
• 2:40
  and
• 2:41
  this
• 2:41
  is
• 2:41
  my
• 2:41
  story.
• 2:43
  My
• 2:43
  life
• 2:43
  changed
• 2:44
  overnight
• 2:44
  when
• 2:44
  my
• 2:45
  mom
• 2:45
  passed
• 2:45
  away
• 2:45
  unexpectedly.
• 2:47
  And
• 2:47
  since
• 2:47
  then,
• 2:48
  I've
• 2:48
  been
• 2:48
  raising
• 2:49
  my
• 2:49
  little
• 2:49
  brother
• 2:50
  on
• 2:50
  my
• 2:50
  own
• 2:51
  while
• 2:51
  trying
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  keep
• 2:52
  everything
• 2:52
  from
• 2:52
  falling
• 2:53
  apart.
• 2:54
  I'm
• 2:54
  only
• 2:55
  in
• 2:55
  my
• 2:55
  20s,
• 2:56
  yet
• 2:56
  I've
• 2:56
  been
• 2:56
  carrying
• 2:57
  responsibilities
• 2:58
  that
• 2:58
  feel
• 2:58
  bigger
• 2:59
  than
• 2:59
  me
• 2:59
  for
• 2:59
  years
• 3:00
  now.
• 3:01
  I've
• 3:02
  worked,
• 3:02
  sacrificed,
• 3:03
  pushed
• 3:04
  through
• 3:04
  exhaustion
• 3:05
  and
• 3:05
  tried
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  give
• 3:06
  him
• 3:06
  stability
• 3:07
  no
• 3:07
  matter
• 3:07
  how
• 3:07
  hard
• 3:08
  things
• 3:08
  got.
• 3:10
  Now,
• 3:10
  after
• 3:10
  an
• 3:11
  injury,
• 3:11
  losing
• 3:12
  my
• 3:12
  job,
• 3:13
  falling
• 3:14
  behind
• 3:14
  on
• 3:14
  rent,
• 3:15
  and
• 3:15
  running
• 3:16
  out
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  options,
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  feel
• 3:17
  like
• 3:17
  I'm
• 3:18
  hitting
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  wall.
• 3:20
  We're
• 3:20
  on
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  edge
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  losing
• 3:21
  our
• 3:21
  home.
• 3:22
  The
• 3:22
  power
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  already
• 3:23
  out,
• 3:24
  and
• 3:25
  I'm
• 3:25
  terrified
• 3:25
  I'm
• 3:26
  failing
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  one
• 3:26
  person
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  promised
• 3:27
  I'd
• 3:28
  protect.
• 3:29
  I
• 3:29
  don't
• 3:29
  mind
• 3:30
  sacrificing
• 3:30
  for
• 3:31
  him.
• 3:31
  I
• 3:32
  just
• 3:32
  never
• 3:33
  imagined
• 3:33
  I'd
• 3:34
  reach
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  point
• 3:34
  where
• 3:35
  love
• 3:35
  alone
• 3:35
  wouldn't
• 3:36
  be
• 3:36
  enough
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  hold
• 3:37
  everything
• 3:37
  together.
• 3:38
  How
• 3:39
  do
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  keep
• 3:39
  going
• 3:39
  when
• 3:40
  you're
• 3:40
  carrying
• 3:40
  responsibilities
• 3:41
  no
• 3:42
  one
• 3:42
  prepared
• 3:42
  you
• 3:42
  for
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  feel
• 3:44
  like
• 3:44
  you're
• 3:44
  running
• 3:44
  out
• 3:44
  of
• 3:45
  strength,
• 3:46
  time
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  options
• 3:47
  all
• 3:47
  at
• 3:47
  once.
• 3:50
  I
• 3:50
  honestly
• 3:51
  was
• 3:52
  without
• 3:52
  words
• 3:52
  when
• 3:52
  I
• 3:53
  heard
• 3:53
  that
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  first
• 3:53
  time.
• 3:55
  I
• 3:55
  can't
• 3:56
  even
• 3:56
  imagine
• 3:57
  the
• 3:58
  stress,
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  enormity
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  what
• 3:59
  you're
• 3:59
  going
• 3:59
  through.
• 4:01
  And
• 4:01
  I
• 4:02
  want
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  start
• 4:02
  off
• 4:02
  with
• 4:02
  this.
• 4:03
  Thank
• 4:03
  you
• 4:04
  for
• 4:04
  what
• 4:04
  you're
• 4:04
  doing
• 4:04
  for
• 4:04
  your
• 4:05
  brother.
• 4:06
  You've
• 4:06
  stepped
• 4:07
  up
• 4:07
  in
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  mighty
• 4:08
  way
• 4:09
  for
• 4:09
  somebody
• 4:09
  your
• 4:10
  age.
• 4:10
  You
• 4:11
  are
• 4:11
  doing
• 4:11
  amazing
• 4:12
  things.
• 4:14
  But
• 4:14
  strength
• 4:14
  isn't
• 4:15
  pretending.
• 4:15
  You
• 4:15
  can
• 4:15
  carry
• 4:16
  everything
• 4:16
  alone.
• 4:18
  Strength
• 4:18
  is
• 4:19
  taking
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  next
• 4:19
  faithful
• 4:20
  step
• 4:20
  when
• 4:20
  life
• 4:21
  feels
• 4:21
  impossibly
• 4:22
  heavy.
• 4:23
  And
• 4:23
  that's
• 4:24
  what
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  want
• 4:24
  to
• 4:24
  get
• 4:24
  into
• 4:24
  today.
• 4:26
  How
• 4:27
  do
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  make
• 4:27
  this
• 4:27
  work?
• 4:29
  Because
• 4:30
  all
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  us
• 4:31
  have
• 4:31
  faced
• 4:32
  something
• 4:32
  like
• 4:32
  this
• 4:33
  in
• 4:33
  our
• 4:33
  lives.
• 4:33
  Maybe
• 4:34
  not
• 4:34
  at
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  level
• 4:34
  this
• 4:35
  person's
• 4:35
  faced.
• 4:36
  I
• 4:36
  can't
• 4:36
  even
• 4:36
  imagine
• 4:37
  losing
• 4:37
  my
• 4:38
  mom.
• 4:38
  And
• 4:38
  here
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  am.
• 4:39
  The.
• 4:39
  The
• 4:40
  person
• 4:40
  has
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  take
• 4:40
  care
• 4:41
  of
• 4:41
  my
• 4:41
  family.
• 4:43
  But
• 4:43
  it
• 4:44
  starts
• 4:44
  with
• 4:44
  this.
• 4:44
  You
• 4:45
  got
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  name
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  weight.
• 4:45
  Honestly,
• 4:47
  as
• 4:48
  I've
• 4:48
  said
• 4:48
  on
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  show
• 4:49
  so
• 4:49
  many
• 4:49
  times,
• 4:51
  this
• 4:51
  isn't
• 4:52
  just
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  money
• 4:52
  problem.
• 4:54
  Sure,
• 4:55
  money
• 4:55
  would
• 4:55
  solve
• 4:56
  a
• 4:56
  lot
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  problems
• 4:56
  that
• 4:57
  you
• 4:57
  talked
• 4:57
  about
• 4:57
  here
• 4:57
  in
• 4:57
  your
• 4:58
  call,
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  talked
• 4:59
  about
• 5:00
  losing
• 5:00
  your
• 5:00
  house
• 5:01
  because
• 5:01
  your
• 5:01
  rent
• 5:01
  isn't
• 5:01
  paid,
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  electric
• 5:02
  being
• 5:03
  turned
• 5:03
  off.
• 5:04
  But
• 5:04
  there's
• 5:05
  so
• 5:05
  much
• 5:05
  more
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  this.
• 5:07
  This
• 5:07
  is
• 5:08
  about
• 5:08
  grief.
• 5:10
  Grief
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  losing
• 5:10
  your
• 5:11
  mom,
• 5:12
  losing
• 5:12
  your
• 5:12
  childhood,
• 5:13
  losing
• 5:13
  that
• 5:13
  time
• 5:14
  when
• 5:14
  everybody
• 5:15
  around
• 5:15
  you
• 5:15
  is
• 5:15
  probably
• 5:15
  having
• 5:16
  those
• 5:16
  experiences
• 5:17
  you
• 5:17
  haven't
• 5:17
  been
• 5:17
  able
• 5:17
  to
• 5:18
  do
• 5:18
  because
• 5:18
  you're
• 5:18
  sitting
• 5:19
  there
• 5:19
  taking
• 5:19
  care
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  your
• 5:20
  brother.
• 5:21
  It's
• 5:22
  about
• 5:22
  pressure.
• 5:23
  The
• 5:23
  very
• 5:24
  pressure
• 5:24
  you're
• 5:24
  feeling
• 5:25
  right
• 5:25
  now,
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  love
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  you
• 5:27
  have
• 5:27
  for
• 5:27
  your
• 5:27
  brother.
• 5:29
  It's
• 5:29
  about
• 5:29
  responsibility.
• 5:31
  The
• 5:32
  responsibility
• 5:32
  you
• 5:33
  feel
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  him
• 5:33
  that
• 5:34
  this
• 5:34
  was
• 5:34
  never
• 5:34
  intended
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  be
• 5:35
  yours,
• 5:38
  and
• 5:38
  survival
• 5:39
  stacked
• 5:39
  on
• 5:39
  top
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  that.
• 5:42
  So,
• 5:42
  friend,
• 5:42
  the
• 5:43
  first
• 5:43
  thing
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  don't
• 5:43
  want
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  minimize
• 5:45
  what
• 5:45
  this
• 5:45
  is
• 5:45
  required
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  you.
• 5:49
  My
• 5:49
  heart
• 5:49
  breaks
• 5:50
  for
• 5:50
  you
• 5:50
  today.
• 5:52
  You're
• 5:52
  not
• 5:53
  overreacting.
• 5:53
  This
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  a
• 5:54
  heavy
• 5:54
  situation.
• 5:57
  And
• 5:58
  sometimes
• 5:58
  peace
• 5:58
  begins
• 5:59
  when
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  tell
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  truth
• 6:00
  about
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  load.
• 6:02
  What
• 6:02
  you're
• 6:02
  carrying
• 6:03
  is
• 6:03
  heavy.
• 6:04
  What
• 6:05
  you're
• 6:05
  carrying
• 6:05
  most
• 6:06
  adults
• 6:07
  who
• 6:07
  are
• 6:07
  older
• 6:07
  than
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  struggle
• 6:08
  with.
• 6:10
  So
• 6:10
  before
• 6:10
  we
• 6:11
  talk
• 6:11
  about
• 6:11
  solutions,
• 6:12
  we've
• 6:12
  got
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  honor
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  reality.
• 6:14
  The
• 6:15
  reality
• 6:15
  is
• 6:15
  you
• 6:16
  are
• 6:16
  in
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  very
• 6:17
  difficult
• 6:17
  situation.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  can't
• 6:21
  steward
• 6:22
  wisely
• 6:22
  if
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  pretend
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  isn't
• 6:24
  crushing
• 6:25
  you.
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  can
• 6:26
  hear
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  in
• 6:27
  your
• 6:27
  voice.
• 6:29
  This
• 6:29
  is
• 6:29
  crushing
• 6:29
  you.
• 6:32
  But
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  also
• 6:32
  can't
• 6:33
  confuse
• 6:33
  hardship
• 6:34
  with
• 6:34
  failure,
• 6:36
  my
• 6:37
  friend.
• 6:37
  You
• 6:37
  haven't
• 6:37
  failed
• 6:38
  your
• 6:38
  brother
• 6:38
  at
• 6:39
  all.
• 6:40
  You
• 6:40
  hadn't
• 6:40
  failed
• 6:41
  yourself
• 6:41
  at
• 6:41
  all.
• 6:43
  Hard
• 6:44
  circumstances
• 6:45
  don't
• 6:45
  automatically
• 6:46
  mean
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  failed.
• 6:48
  You're
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  really
• 6:49
  tough
• 6:50
  situation.
• 6:52
  Losing
• 6:53
  ground
• 6:53
  in
• 6:54
  this
• 6:54
  crisis
• 6:54
  doesn't
• 6:54
  mean
• 6:55
  you're
• 6:55
  Irresponsible,
• 6:56
  far
• 6:56
  from
• 6:59
  might
• 6:59
  just
• 7:00
  simply
• 7:00
  mean
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  weight
• 7:01
  has
• 7:01
  become
• 7:01
  too
• 7:02
  much
• 7:02
  for
• 7:02
  you,
• 7:02
  for
• 7:02
  that
• 7:03
  one
• 7:03
  person
• 7:03
  in
• 7:04
  this.
• 7:06
  Your
• 7:06
  struggle
• 7:07
  is
• 7:07
  not
• 7:07
  proof
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  weakness.
• 7:10
  Just
• 7:10
  think
• 7:10
  about
• 7:10
  this.
• 7:11
  The
• 7:11
  fact
• 7:11
  that
• 7:12
  you're
• 7:12
  still
• 7:12
  fighting
• 7:13
  for
• 7:13
  your
• 7:13
  brother.
• 7:13
  A
• 7:14
  lot
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  people
• 7:14
  would
• 7:14
  have
• 7:14
  walked
• 7:15
  away.
• 7:16
  A
• 7:16
  lot
• 7:16
  of
• 7:17
  people
• 7:17
  would
• 7:17
  have
• 7:17
  said,
• 7:17
  I'm
• 7:17
  sorry,
• 7:18
  there's
• 7:18
  nothing
• 7:18
  more
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  can
• 7:19
  do.
• 7:19
  The
• 7:19
  fact
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  you're
• 7:20
  still
• 7:21
  here
• 7:21
  fighting,
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  fact
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  reached
• 7:23
  out
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  me
• 7:24
  says
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  ton
• 7:25
  about
• 7:25
  your
• 7:25
  character,
• 7:25
  my
• 7:26
  friend.
• 7:28
  You're
• 7:28
  not
• 7:29
  failing
• 7:29
  because
• 7:29
  life
• 7:30
  became
• 7:30
  overwhelming.
• 7:32
  You
• 7:32
  are
• 7:32
  facing
• 7:33
  more
• 7:33
  than
• 7:33
  most
• 7:34
  people
• 7:34
  were
• 7:34
  able
• 7:35
  or
• 7:35
  prepared
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  carry.
• 7:38
  But
• 7:38
  now
• 7:38
  I
• 7:38
  want
• 7:38
  to
• 7:39
  get
• 7:39
  practical
• 7:39
  with
• 7:39
  you.
• 7:41
  You
• 7:41
  gotta
• 7:41
  move
• 7:42
  from
• 7:42
  fixing
• 7:42
  everything,
• 7:43
  which
• 7:43
  is
• 7:43
  what
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  hear
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  saying,
• 7:44
  to
• 7:45
  stabilizing
• 7:45
  what
• 7:46
  matters
• 7:46
  most.
• 7:48
  You're
• 7:48
  in
• 7:49
  a
• 7:49
  crisis.
• 7:50
  You're
• 7:51
  in
• 7:51
  a
• 7:51
  housing
• 7:51
  crisis,
• 7:52
  you're
• 7:52
  in
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  utility
• 7:53
  crisis.
• 7:55
  And
• 7:55
  in
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  crisis,
• 7:56
  clarity
• 7:56
  matters
• 7:57
  more
• 7:57
  than
• 7:57
  complexity.
• 7:59
  You
• 7:59
  got
• 7:59
  to
• 7:59
  stop
• 8:00
  thinking
• 8:00
  about
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  next
• 8:01
  five
• 8:01
  years,
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  next
• 8:02
  three
• 8:02
  years,
• 8:02
  the
• 8:03
  next
• 8:03
  one
• 8:03
  month,
• 8:03
  even
• 8:05
  focus
• 8:05
  on
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  immediate
• 8:07
  stabilization.
• 8:08
  You've
• 8:08
  got
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  figure
• 8:08
  out
• 8:09
  this
• 8:09
  very
• 8:09
  week,
• 8:10
  housing
• 8:11
  comes
• 8:11
  first.
• 8:12
  You
• 8:12
  got
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  figure
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  out.
• 8:14
  You
• 8:14
  got
• 8:14
  to
• 8:15
  figure
• 8:15
  out
• 8:15
  your
• 8:15
  utilities,
• 8:17
  food
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  transportation,
• 8:18
  medication,
• 8:19
  care,
• 8:20
  basic
• 8:20
  communications.
• 8:22
  But
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  can't
• 8:23
  try
• 8:23
  to
• 8:23
  do
• 8:23
  everything.
• 8:24
  So
• 8:24
  start
• 8:24
  right
• 8:25
  now
• 8:25
  by
• 8:25
  putting
• 8:25
  together
• 8:26
  an
• 8:26
  urgency
• 8:27
  list.
• 8:28
  I'm
• 8:28
  going
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  tell
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  some
• 8:29
  ideas
• 8:29
  of
• 8:29
  what
• 8:30
  we
• 8:30
  can
• 8:30
  do
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  help
• 8:30
  you
• 8:30
  today.
• 8:31
  But
• 8:32
  just
• 8:32
  make
• 8:32
  one
• 8:32
  call
• 8:33
  at
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  time.
• 8:33
  Take
• 8:33
  one
• 8:34
  step
• 8:34
  at
• 8:34
  a
• 8:34
  time.
• 8:35
  I
• 8:35
  want
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  right
• 8:36
  now
• 8:36
  make
• 8:36
  a
• 8:37
  written
• 8:37
  list
• 8:37
  of
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  top
• 8:38
  three,
• 8:39
  four
• 8:39
  or
• 8:39
  five
• 8:40
  urgent
• 8:40
  needs.
• 8:41
  I
• 8:41
  know
• 8:41
  what
• 8:42
  they
• 8:42
  are.
• 8:42
  Like
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  said,
• 8:43
  it's
• 8:43
  housing,
• 8:44
  it's
• 8:44
  utilities,
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  assume
• 8:46
  it's
• 8:46
  food.
• 8:48
  Ask
• 8:49
  yourself
• 8:49
  what
• 8:49
  needs
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  be
• 8:50
  protected
• 8:50
  first.
• 8:52
  You're
• 8:52
  not
• 8:52
  in
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  season
• 8:53
  of
• 8:53
  planning
• 8:53
  or
• 8:54
  perfect
• 8:54
  planning.
• 8:55
  You're
• 8:55
  in
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  survival
• 8:56
  series.
• 8:58
  This
• 8:58
  is
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  season
• 8:59
  for
• 8:59
  what
• 8:59
  I'm
• 8:59
  going
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  call
• 9:00
  focused
• 9:00
  triage.
• 9:02
  But
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  thing
• 9:03
  I
• 9:03
  haven't
• 9:04
  heard
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  say,
• 9:04
  and
• 9:04
  so
• 9:05
  I'm
• 9:05
  going
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  challenge
• 9:05
  you
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  little
• 9:06
  bit,
• 9:06
  and
• 9:06
  this
• 9:06
  is
• 9:06
  meant
• 9:06
  out
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  love.
• 9:08
  You
• 9:08
  didn't
• 9:09
  want
• 9:09
  mention
• 9:10
  helping
• 9:10
  other
• 9:11
  people
• 9:11
  helping
• 9:11
  you.
• 9:13
  That's
• 9:14
  what
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  got
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  do
• 9:14
  next.
• 9:16
  You've
• 9:16
  got
• 9:16
  to
• 9:17
  let
• 9:17
  people
• 9:17
  help
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  become
• 9:19
  part
• 9:19
  of
• 9:19
  your
• 9:19
  plan.
• 9:21
  This
• 9:21
  time
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  crisis
• 9:22
  is
• 9:22
  not
• 9:22
  a
• 9:23
  time
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  isolate.
• 9:25
  There
• 9:25
  are
• 9:26
  churches,
• 9:26
  there
• 9:27
  are
• 9:27
  community
• 9:27
  support
• 9:28
  organizations,
• 9:29
  there's
• 9:29
  utility
• 9:30
  assistance,
• 9:30
  there's
• 9:31
  housing
• 9:31
  resources,
• 9:32
  and
• 9:32
  there's
• 9:33
  trusted
• 9:33
  people
• 9:33
  that
• 9:34
  can
• 9:34
  help
• 9:34
  you.
• 9:36
  I'm
• 9:36
  assuming
• 9:36
  you've
• 9:37
  got
• 9:37
  family,
• 9:38
  I'm
• 9:38
  assuming
• 9:38
  you
• 9:38
  got
• 9:39
  friends.
• 9:39
  If
• 9:40
  you.
• 9:40
  If
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  don't,
• 9:41
  there's
• 9:41
  mentors
• 9:41
  out
• 9:42
  there,
• 9:42
  anybody
• 9:43
  safe,
• 9:45
  let
• 9:45
  them
• 9:45
  know
• 9:45
  what's
• 9:46
  happening.
• 9:46
  Clearly
• 9:47
  I
• 9:47
  got
• 9:47
  a
• 9:47
  feeling
• 9:47
  you're
• 9:48
  hiding
• 9:48
  this
• 9:48
  from
• 9:48
  a
• 9:48
  lot
• 9:48
  of
• 9:49
  people.
• 9:51
  This
• 9:51
  isn't
• 9:51
  time
• 9:51
  to
• 9:52
  hint
• 9:52
  about
• 9:52
  it.
• 9:52
  You
• 9:52
  got
• 9:52
  to
• 9:53
  come
• 9:53
  out
• 9:53
  and
• 9:53
  communicate
• 9:54
  clearly
• 9:54
  and
• 9:55
  say,
• 9:55
  I
• 9:55
  need
• 9:56
  help.
• 9:58
  People
• 9:58
  can't
• 9:58
  help
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  with
• 9:59
  needs
• 9:59
  they
• 9:59
  don't
• 10:00
  understand.
• 10:01
  This
• 10:02
  isn't
• 10:02
  a
• 10:02
  time
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  beat
• 10:03
  around
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  bush
• 10:03
  about
• 10:03
  it.
• 10:04
  You
• 10:04
  got
• 10:04
  to
• 10:04
  say
• 10:04
  it
• 10:04
  straight
• 10:05
  up.
• 10:05
  Look,
• 10:05
  our
• 10:06
  electric
• 10:06
  is
• 10:06
  turned
• 10:07
  off.
• 10:07
  I
• 10:07
  need
• 10:07
  help.
• 10:09
  We're
• 10:09
  getting
• 10:09
  ready
• 10:09
  to
• 10:10
  get
• 10:10
  evicted
• 10:10
  from
• 10:10
  our
• 10:11
  rental.
• 10:11
  We
• 10:12
  need
• 10:12
  help.
• 10:14
  And
• 10:14
  I
• 10:15
  want
• 10:15
  you
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  hear
• 10:15
  this
• 10:15
  clearly
• 10:16
  because
• 10:16
  I
• 10:16
  don't
• 10:16
  know
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  you
• 10:17
  get
• 10:17
  it.
• 10:17
  Asking
• 10:18
  for
• 10:18
  help
• 10:18
  isn't
• 10:18
  weakness.
• 10:19
  You've
• 10:20
  had
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  take
• 10:20
  on
• 10:20
  a
• 10:21
  role
• 10:21
  to
• 10:21
  be
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  very
• 10:23
  difficult
• 10:23
  adult
• 10:24
  position,
• 10:25
  and
• 10:25
  you
• 10:25
  probably
• 10:26
  think
• 10:26
  like,
• 10:26
  well,
• 10:26
  if
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  asked
• 10:27
  for
• 10:27
  help,
• 10:27
  Ralph,
• 10:28
  that's
• 10:28
  being
• 10:28
  weak.
• 10:29
  It's
• 10:29
  not.
• 10:31
  Asking
• 10:31
  for
• 10:32
  help
• 10:32
  is
• 10:32
  not
• 10:32
  weakness.
• 10:33
  It's
• 10:33
  wisdom.
• 10:35
  It's
• 10:36
  wisdom.
• 10:36
  In
• 10:36
  this
• 10:37
  hard
• 10:37
  season,
• 10:41
  maybe
• 10:41
  you
• 10:41
  reach
• 10:41
  out
• 10:41
  to
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  food
• 10:42
  banks,
• 10:43
  reach
• 10:44
  out
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  your
• 10:44
  landlord
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  say,
• 10:45
  listen,
• 10:45
  here's
• 10:45
  what's
• 10:46
  going
• 10:46
  on.
• 10:46
  Here's
• 10:46
  my
• 10:47
  plan.
• 10:47
  Here's
• 10:47
  what
• 10:48
  I'm
• 10:48
  going
• 10:48
  to
• 10:48
  do.
• 10:48
  Call
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  utility
• 10:49
  company.
• 10:51
  Go
• 10:51
  meet
• 10:51
  with
• 10:51
  your
• 10:52
  church.
• 10:52
  If
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  don't
• 10:52
  have
• 10:52
  a
• 10:52
  church,
• 10:53
  there
• 10:53
  are
• 10:53
  a
• 10:53
  ton
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  churches
• 10:54
  out
• 10:54
  there
• 10:54
  that
• 10:54
  would
• 10:54
  help
• 10:55
  you
• 10:56
  and
• 10:56
  reach
• 10:56
  out
• 10:57
  and
• 10:57
  say,
• 10:57
  hey,
• 10:57
  can
• 10:57
  you
• 10:57
  help
• 10:58
  me
• 10:58
  think
• 10:58
  through
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  next
• 10:59
  steps?
• 10:59
  You're
• 10:59
  a
• 10:59
  young
• 11:00
  person.
• 11:01
  Not
• 11:01
  once
• 11:02
  have
• 11:02
  I
• 11:02
  heard
• 11:02
  you
• 11:02
  say
• 11:02
  one
• 11:03
  thing
• 11:03
  about
• 11:03
  yourself.
• 11:07
  But
• 11:07
  you
• 11:07
  got
• 11:07
  to
• 11:07
  remember
• 11:08
  who
• 11:08
  you
• 11:09
  are
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  middle
• 11:10
  of
• 11:10
  this
• 11:10
  survival
• 11:11
  mode.
• 11:13
  You
• 11:13
  are
• 11:13
  a
• 11:14
  strong
• 11:14
  person,
• 11:14
  dude.
• 11:15
  I
• 11:15
  can't
• 11:15
  even
• 11:15
  imagine
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  strength
• 11:16
  that
• 11:17
  you
• 11:17
  have.
• 11:19
  And
• 11:19
  this
• 11:19
  current
• 11:19
  hardship
• 11:20
  you're
• 11:20
  in
• 11:20
  is
• 11:21
  not
• 11:21
  your
• 11:21
  identity.
• 11:22
  Your
• 11:22
  identity
• 11:23
  is
• 11:23
  somebody
• 11:23
  whose
• 11:24
  mother
• 11:24
  passed
• 11:24
  away
• 11:25
  and
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  didn't
• 11:25
  run
• 11:26
  away.
• 11:26
  You
• 11:26
  stepped
• 11:27
  up
• 11:27
  and
• 11:27
  took
• 11:27
  care
• 11:28
  of
• 11:28
  your
• 11:28
  brother.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:30
  yes,
• 11:31
  your
• 11:31
  financial
• 11:31
  crisis
• 11:32
  is
• 11:32
  real.
• 11:34
  But
• 11:34
  I'm
• 11:34
  going
• 11:34
  to
• 11:34
  tell
• 11:34
  you
• 11:34
  right
• 11:35
  now,
• 11:35
  that's
• 11:35
  not
• 11:36
  the
• 11:36
  whole
• 11:36
  story
• 11:36
  of
• 11:37
  your
• 11:37
  life.
• 11:39
  We
• 11:39
  have
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  loving
• 11:40
  God
• 11:40
  that
• 11:40
  sees
• 11:40
  the
• 11:41
  love
• 11:41
  that
• 11:41
  you're
• 11:41
  giving
• 11:41
  your
• 11:42
  brother.
• 11:43
  He
• 11:43
  sees
• 11:43
  the
• 11:43
  sacrifice
• 11:44
  you're
• 11:44
  giving.
• 11:45
  He
• 11:45
  sees
• 11:45
  the
• 11:46
  tears
• 11:46
  that
• 11:46
  you're
• 11:46
  shedding.
• 11:47
  He
• 11:47
  sees
• 11:47
  the
• 11:48
  pressure,
• 11:48
  and
• 11:49
  he
• 11:49
  sees
• 11:49
  that
• 11:50
  fear
• 11:50
  that
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  don't
• 11:51
  always
• 11:51
  say
• 11:51
  out
• 11:52
  loud.
• 11:55
  And
• 11:55
  your
• 11:55
  worth
• 11:56
  is
• 11:56
  not
• 11:56
  measured
• 11:56
  by
• 11:57
  whether
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  can
• 11:57
  hold
• 11:57
  everything
• 11:58
  together
• 11:58
  perfectly.
• 12:00
  Because
• 12:01
  guess
• 12:01
  what?
• 12:02
  You
• 12:02
  can't.
• 12:04
  Being
• 12:05
  faithful
• 12:05
  in
• 12:05
  this
• 12:06
  hard
• 12:06
  season
• 12:06
  still
• 12:07
  matters.
• 12:09
  That
• 12:09
  love
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  you
• 12:10
  have
• 12:10
  for
• 12:10
  your
• 12:10
  brother.
• 12:11
  It
• 12:12
  matters
• 12:14
  even
• 12:14
  when
• 12:14
  resources
• 12:15
  are
• 12:15
  thin
• 12:17
  and
• 12:17
  your
• 12:18
  value
• 12:18
  hasn't
• 12:18
  disappeared
• 12:19
  just
• 12:19
  because
• 12:19
  your
• 12:19
  strength
• 12:20
  feels
• 12:20
  low
• 12:20
  right
• 12:20
  now.
• 12:21
  I
• 12:21
  want
• 12:21
  to
• 12:21
  really
• 12:21
  encourage
• 12:22
  you.
• 12:23
  I
• 12:24
  want
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  go
• 12:24
  a
• 12:24
  little
• 12:24
  deeper
• 12:25
  right
• 12:25
  now.
• 12:27
  Because
• 12:27
  for
• 12:27
  many
• 12:28
  people
• 12:28
  in
• 12:28
  a
• 12:28
  season
• 12:29
  like
• 12:29
  this,
• 12:31
  what
• 12:31
  hurts
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  most
• 12:32
  isn't
• 12:32
  just
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  bills.
• 12:33
  It's
• 12:34
  not
• 12:34
  just
• 12:34
  that
• 12:34
  shut
• 12:35
  off
• 12:35
  notice.
• 12:35
  It's
• 12:36
  not
• 12:36
  that
• 12:36
  fear
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  losing
• 12:37
  your
• 12:37
  housing.
• 12:39
  It's
• 12:39
  that
• 12:39
  crushing
• 12:40
  thought
• 12:40
  that
• 12:40
  after
• 12:41
  all
• 12:41
  the
• 12:41
  sacrifice,
• 12:43
  after
• 12:44
  all
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  trying,
• 12:45
  after
• 12:46
  all
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  love,
• 12:48
  it
• 12:48
  still
• 12:49
  might
• 12:49
  not
• 12:49
  be
• 12:49
  enough.
• 12:52
  And
• 12:52
  that
• 12:52
  kind
• 12:53
  of
• 12:53
  pressure
• 12:55
  can
• 12:55
  make
• 12:55
  a
• 12:55
  person
• 12:56
  feel
• 12:56
  like
• 12:56
  they've
• 12:56
  got
• 12:57
  to
• 12:57
  become
• 12:57
  superhuman
• 12:58
  just
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  survive.
• 13:01
  But
• 13:02
  that's
• 13:02
  not
• 13:02
  how
• 13:02
  God
• 13:02
  designed
• 13:03
  you
• 13:03
  to
• 13:03
  live.
• 13:05
  You
• 13:06
  were
• 13:06
  never
• 13:06
  meant
• 13:06
  to
• 13:06
  carry
• 13:07
  this
• 13:07
  completely
• 13:07
  alone.
• 13:09
  God's
• 13:09
  presence
• 13:09
  doesn't
• 13:10
  always
• 13:10
  remove
• 13:11
  the
• 13:11
  burden
• 13:11
  instantly,
• 13:13
  but
• 13:13
  he
• 13:14
  does
• 13:14
  meet
• 13:14
  you
• 13:14
  in
• 13:14
  it
• 13:16
  and
• 13:16
  he
• 13:16
  strengthens
• 13:16
  you
• 13:17
  in
• 13:17
  it.
• 13:18
  And
• 13:18
  he
• 13:19
  reminds
• 13:19
  you
• 13:19
  that
• 13:19
  your
• 13:19
  life
• 13:20
  is
• 13:20
  not
• 13:20
  being
• 13:20
  held
• 13:20
  together
• 13:21
  by
• 13:21
  your
• 13:21
  effort
• 13:22
  alone.
• 13:24
  So
• 13:24
  reach
• 13:24
  out
• 13:24
  to
• 13:24
  the
• 13:25
  Lord
• 13:25
  right
• 13:25
  now
• 13:25
  and
• 13:25
  ask
• 13:25
  him
• 13:26
  to
• 13:26
  give
• 13:26
  you
• 13:26
  strength
• 13:26
  for
• 13:27
  what's
• 13:27
  in
• 13:27
  front
• 13:27
  of
• 13:27
  you
• 13:27
  today.
• 13:29
  And
• 13:29
  remember,
• 13:30
  you
• 13:30
  don't
• 13:30
  have
• 13:30
  to
• 13:30
  carry
• 13:30
  this
• 13:31
  by
• 13:31
  yourself.
• 13:34
  Being
• 13:35
  overwhelmed
• 13:35
  doesn't
• 13:36
  mean
• 13:36
  you're
• 13:36
  weak.
• 13:38
  It
• 13:38
  means
• 13:38
  you've
• 13:39
  been
• 13:39
  carrying
• 13:39
  a
• 13:39
  lot
• 13:39
  for
• 13:40
  a
• 13:40
  very
• 13:40
  long
• 13:40
  time.
• 13:43
  So
• 13:44
  today's
• 13:44
  win
• 13:44
  is
• 13:44
  going
• 13:45
  to
• 13:45
  be
• 13:45
  very

  you.

  Again,
• 13:48
  write
• 13:48
  down
• 13:48
  your
• 13:49
  most
• 13:49
  urgent
• 13:49
  needs
• 13:50
  in

  order.
• 13:52
  Focus
• 13:52
  on
• 13:52
  stabilization,
• 13:53
  not
• 13:54
  total
• 13:54
  resolution.
• 13:55
  Make
• 13:55
  that
• 13:55
  first
• 13:56
  call.
• 13:56
  Reach

  Send

  that

• 14:00
  that
• 14:00
  person
• 14:01
  for
• 14:01
  help
• 14:02
  today.
• 14:05
  Finding
• 14:05
  that
• 14:06
  clarity
• 14:06
  is
• 14:06
  a
• 14:07
  win
• 14:07
  when
• 14:07
  life
• 14:08
  feels
• 14:08
  chaotic.
• 14:10
  And
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  want
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  go
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  today's
• 14:12
  Bible
• 14:12
  verse.
• 14:12
  It
• 14:12
  took
• 14:13
  me
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  little
• 14:13
  bit
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  find
• 14:13
  this
• 14:14
  one
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  I
• 14:14
  found
• 14:14
  this
• 14:14
  one.
• 14:15
  And
• 14:15
  I
• 14:15
  think
• 14:15
  it
• 14:15
  just
• 14:16
  nails
• 14:16
  it.
• 14:16
  It's
• 14:17
  from
• 14:17
  the
• 14:17
  Book
• 14:17
  of
• 14:17
  Psalms,
• 14:18
  chapter
• 14:18
  68,
• 14:19
  verse
• 14:19
  5.
• 14:21
  It
• 14:21
  says,
• 14:21
  A
• 14:22
  father
• 14:22
  to
• 14:22
  the
• 14:23
  fatherless,
• 14:24
  a
• 14:24
  defender
• 14:25
  of
• 14:25
  widows
• 14:26
  is
• 14:27
  God
• 14:27
  in
• 14:28
  his
• 14:28
  holy
• 14:28
  dwelling.
• 14:30
  And
• 14:30
  this
• 14:30
  fits
• 14:31
  today
• 14:31
  because
• 14:31
  God
• 14:32
  sees
• 14:32
  those
• 14:33
  carrying
• 14:34
  painful
• 14:34
  loss.
• 14:36
  He
• 14:36
  sees
• 14:36
  that
• 14:37
  heavy
• 14:37
  responsibility
• 14:39
  and
• 14:39
  he
• 14:40
  sees
• 14:40
  those
• 14:40
  burdens
• 14:40
  that
• 14:41
  feel
• 14:41
  too
• 14:41
  big
• 14:41
  for
• 14:41
  one
• 14:42
  person
• 14:44
  in
• 14:44
  all
• 14:44
  of
• 14:45
  this.
• 14:46
  God
• 14:47
  sees
• 14:47
  this.
• 14:49
  How
• 14:50
  about
• 14:50
  we
• 14:50
  pray
• 14:50
  together?
• 14:52
  Heavenly
• 14:52
  Father,
• 14:52
  I
• 14:53
  just
• 14:53
  want
• 14:53
  to
• 14:53
  lift
• 14:53
  up
• 14:53
  the
• 14:54
  person
• 14:54
  carrying
• 14:54
  overwhelming
• 14:55
  responsibility
• 14:56
  right
• 14:56
  now.
• 14:58
  You
• 14:58
  see
• 14:58
  the
• 14:58
  grief
• 14:58
  they've
• 14:59
  endured,
• 15:00
  you
• 15:00
  see
• 15:00
  the
• 15:01
  pressure
• 15:01
  they're
• 15:01
  under,
• 15:03
  and
• 15:03
  you
• 15:03
  see
• 15:03
  that
• 15:03
  exhaustion
• 15:04
  they
• 15:04
  feel
• 15:04
  deep
• 15:05
  inside.
• 15:07
  So,
• 15:07
  Lord,
• 15:07
  right
• 15:07
  now
• 15:07
  I
• 15:08
  want
• 15:08
  you
• 15:08
  to
• 15:08
  bring
• 15:08
  provision
• 15:09
  where
• 15:09
  resources
• 15:10
  feel
• 15:10
  impossible,
• 15:13
  bring
• 15:13
  peace
• 15:13
  where
• 15:13
  fear
• 15:14
  has
• 15:14
  taken
• 15:14
  over
• 15:14
  their
• 15:15
  lives,
• 15:15
  Lord,
• 15:16
  and
• 15:17
  bring
• 15:17
  strength
• 15:17
  where
• 15:18
  they
• 15:18
  feel
• 15:18
  empty.
• 15:20
  Lord,
• 15:20
  I
• 15:20
  just
• 15:20
  ask
• 15:20
  that
• 15:21
  you
• 15:21
  would
• 15:21
  surround
• 15:21
  them
• 15:22
  with
• 15:22
  a
• 15:22
  team
• 15:22
  of
• 15:22
  angels
• 15:23
  of
• 15:23
  support
• 15:24
  and
• 15:24
  wisdom
• 15:25
  and
• 15:25
  people
• 15:26
  willing
• 15:26
  to
• 15:26
  carry
• 15:27
  this
• 15:27
  burden
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  help
• 15:28
  them.
• 15:29
  Lord,
• 15:29
  right
• 15:30
  now,
• 15:30
  specifically,
• 15:30
  open
• 15:31
  doors
• 15:31
  for
• 15:31
  housing
• 15:31
  for
• 15:32
  them,
• 15:32
  open
• 15:33
  doors
• 15:33
  for
• 15:33
  provision,
• 15:34
  open
• 15:35
  doors
• 15:35
  for
• 15:35
  work
• 15:36
  and
• 15:37
  open
• 15:37
  doors
• 15:37
  for
• 15:37
  those
• 15:38
  right
• 15:38
  next
• 15:38
  steps.
• 15:40
  Remind
• 15:41
  them
• 15:41
  that
• 15:41
  are
• 15:41
  not
• 15:41
  abandoned
• 15:42
  and
• 15:42
  they're
• 15:42
  not
• 15:43
  unseen
• 15:43
  and
• 15:43
  they're
• 15:44
  not
• 15:44
  failing
• 15:44
  simply
• 15:45
  because
• 15:45
  life
• 15:45
  became
• 15:46
  heavy
• 15:46
  and
• 15:46
  hard
• 15:48
  and
• 15:48
  help
• 15:48
  them
• 15:48
  take
• 15:49
  that
• 15:49
  next
• 15:49
  fatal
• 15:50
  step.
• 15:50
  One
• 15:50
  day
• 15:51
  at
• 15:51
  a
• 15:51
  time
• 15:52
  with
• 15:52
  your
• 15:53
  grace
• 15:53
  sustaining
• 15:53
  them.
• 15:55
  And
• 15:55
  I
• 15:55
  ask
• 15:56
  this
• 15:56
  in
• 15:56
  Jesus
• 15:56
  name.
• 15:58
  Amen
• 15:59
  friend.
• 16:00
  You
• 16:00
  don't
• 16:00
  have
• 16:00
  to
• 16:00
  carry
• 16:01
  tomorrow
• 16:01
  all
• 16:01
  at
• 16:01
  once.
• 16:03
  I
• 16:03
  just
• 16:04
  want
• 16:04
  to
• 16:04
  encourage
• 16:04
  you
• 16:04
  take
• 16:04
  that
• 16:05
  next
• 16:05
  faithful
• 16:05
  step.
• 16:06
  Today
• 16:07
  you
• 16:08
  have
• 16:08
  demonstrated
• 16:09
  so
• 16:09
  much
• 16:09
  character
• 16:10
  and
• 16:10
  strength.
• 16:11
  Reach
• 16:11
  out
• 16:12
  and
• 16:12
  get
• 16:12
  some
• 16:12
  help.
• 16:14
  And
• 16:14
  if
• 16:14
  you've
• 16:14
  got
• 16:15
  a
• 16:15
  question
• 16:15
  you'd
• 16:15
  like
• 16:15
  me
• 16:15
  to

  can

  send

  in
• 16:18
  just
• 16:18
  like

  But

  again,
• 16:27
  financiallyconfidentchristian.com/voicemail
• 16:32
  today
• 16:32
  was
• 16:32
  heavy,
• 16:33
  wasn't
• 16:33
  it?
• 16:34
  It's
• 16:35
  hard,
• 16:36
  but

  I
