• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: You're right behind me, isn't it?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I texted my hairdresser and I'm asking her for long layers.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, did she text you back?
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she did.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: She didn't draw me as a client.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: Lauren, if you're listening to this, I she thought she got fired.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: Ben just texted back.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, Amber, I just saw this.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, someone let y'all in.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, Ben, if you're hearing us, they let us in.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just kidding.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: We just waited till 5.15.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry to bother you, Ben.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: We love you, Ben.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: I uh I need to put this highlighter down.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: Because I've been clicking it.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: What are you trying to get at?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm trying to show you, show you the hair that I wanted.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, you said bangs?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Did I say bangs?
• 8:49
  unknown: Oh.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no, you said long layers or something.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sorry.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: I sent her these photos, but then I said, like, of course, without the bangs.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: But looking at these photos, it's actually like too short of layers.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking more so like like just something.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: What did you see?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: JC's hair or something?
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't see nobody inspired me, okay?
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: I just my hair is like that would be really cute to do blowouts with like those layers.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's what I plan on, but I also feel like it would help me with my curly hair like sit a little bit more steady.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: You need a curly cut.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: But couldn't layers be a curly cut as well?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you don't know how it's going to fall like with your curls.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: But honestly, I saw something, a video the other day, and it's like this girl, she got a curly cut and she hated it.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: She's never gotten one that she likes.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of feel that they just give you a curly shag every time.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: They just go in and like clip random spots.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: And it looks like the 70s like shag haircut.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't want that.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think, I think the layers will help it fall a tiny tad more stacked.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: See, I'm trying to grow my layers out.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm done.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because I don't think it's the fault of any hairdresser, but the way that my hair grows or lays, I hate layers in my hair.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: It just looks like jellyfish.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like there's one layer, and then the layer underneath, and it's like a helmet.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Or hopefully, mine doesn't look like that.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: Thank God mine doesn't look like that.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: I would hate my hair if that happened.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: So, we're talking about being in the world, but not of the world.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: And boy, oh boy.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: Is that tough?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just kidding, it's really not that hard, guys.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: I just be in my own world.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: This I feel like this argument comes up in so many places.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I remember like this is so oh my gosh, this is me being vulnerable.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: But I feel like in college, like to myself, like to make excuses for like going to a college party and stuff, I'd be like, I can't hide myself from the world.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm a Christian, I have to be in the girl.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: You're at a house party.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Go home, do your devotions.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like, because I feel like there's like so many Christians out there that how do you say that?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: Where it's like they're like, no, I'm not doing this, I'm not doing that.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: Those people are sinners, those people are this and that, and like are very judgmental.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: But it's like the reality is, is like we all that we live together.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: We're all here.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think this, like, actually, I don't think I I know that this is not saying that yep, you should be going to this place.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: Go to the bar so that you can be a light.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: Stay out of the bar, okay?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: But I do feel like we're in the world, there's only one way out.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like we're here for the foreseeable future.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: And the reality is that like it's a fallen world, and like we we have to live here and we have to navigate it as Christians.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like, that's what we're called to do.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: So bum bum bump bum bump.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even know where to start my notes over here.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: We can start by reading uh where is it?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: John Hanna, I just messed up my bookmark, John 17, verse 14 through 18.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yes.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'll give it a go.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because we are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: They are not of wait, they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Sanctify them by your truth, your word is truth.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: As you send me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they may also be sanctified by the truth.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: And this is like right before like Jesus' crucifixion.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: He's like talking to his disciples, and like he actually wants us to go out into the world.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: Like after Jesus died on the cross, like the disciples disperse, like they they went out into the world, like they were on a mission.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, obviously, we're not the disciples that were with him that time in that time period, but we are his disciples, and that's also what we're called to do is go out into the world and be a light, exactly into the world.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: But it's like we we can't be marked by the world, like we are in the world, but we can't be marked by the world, we can't be marked by the world's like ideas of like like morals and standards and whatever else.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like we should be marked by the morals and standards and and such of Jesus and what he tells us to do and how he tells us to live our life.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: And doing that, like living differently, the world is going to hate you.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 1000%.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: Let on that's like a hard that's what we were just talking about in Bible study.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: Like, that's so tough because especially like as a people person or not a people person, sorry, excuse me.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not excuse my language.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: I mean like as a people.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: You are a people person.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like with me, it's like I just want people, it's not like I set out to be like, I really want them to like me.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone, please like me.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: I'll do anything for you.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like me.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's not like that, but it's like, you don't you never want people to hate you.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't want people to dislike me, but yeah, I for sure won't do whatever it takes for them to like me.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care that much.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I feel like regardless of how nice, how respectful, how whatever you are, like there's always like people are never going to, or I say people, but like those who are not going to accept Jesus and his word, like they're never going to accept you.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like you're going to be hated by the world.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: And we're promised that.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: And that's a tough photo.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's yeah, super lovely.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: And it sucks because, like, we're well, Adam and Eve, but like they're the ones, and we're the ones as humans who have ruined everything.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like, not really, like, it was all I mean, kind of in the will of the Lord, but it's like we let sin enter the world, and like we corrupted this place, and like we were tempted by the devil, and like we let him become the ruler.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: And then it's kind of crazy.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's like we are the ones that let sin into the world, and then we have the audacity to be like, God, why are you letting this happen?
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: And then people hate God because oh, he made this bad thing happen.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: I see that comment all the time.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: On you, pal.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, on social media where it's like, I just don't understand how God would let this happen.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, it's so lovely to be on this side where because like I used to have that question, I'm like, man, like why would God like why would he do that and let this happen?
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like, but it's like we live in a broken world, yeah, bad things happen.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh you can expect sickness, hate.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: In John 16, verse 33, in there somewhere, says, or the like let me just read it for a sec.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: Said, these things I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: I've overcome the world.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: In the commentary for that, it says, Jesus offered peace to us, but tribulation was promised to understanding this removes a false hope.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_00: We are promised struggle if we are in the world, yet there is peace for us in Jesus.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not Jesus or God doing this to us, it's the world.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and we have we can take rest and have peace in knowing Jesus.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but basically, because of the fall, like Satan has become the ruler of this earth.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: And by ruler, I just mean like well, ruler.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: But he's not the owner.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like he does not own it, like things can't happen.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_01: Hold on, before I say this, let me find my note about it so I don't say it incorrectly.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Where did it go?
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: What the heck?
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, right here, it's right here in front of my face.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, dude, I wrote this down.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, in the book of Job, tough book to read, but you see like all of the horrifying things that has happened to Job, like losing his family and being plagued by like disease and stuff.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, God, what in the world?
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: But also, like Satan cannot act or test people outside of the boundaries or permission set by God.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like, even though Satan is the ruler of this world, like God owns this world, and nothing can I guess like happen in this world.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like, like at any moment, God can overtake the world.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like, he is the owner.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: And become the owner of this house.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: Also, on or in my book, it's really interesting.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: It talks, it's all about like spiritual, like the spiritual realm, and well, the title of the book, Winning Your Spiritual Battles.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: But I feel like so many people don't realize like how much of the world, if not all of it, is like controlled by the spiritual realm.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like there are authorities and just like angels and demons and all of this stuff is like it's all a battle right now.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: Like, there's like this huge battle behind the scenes that I feel like you can really scare you if you really think about it hard enough.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: But I feel like we should all be thinking about it pretty hard because it's like that's the answer why so many things are happening, like good or bad.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like there is a spiritual realm.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: Also in Job, when Jesus like is talking to Satan, he's like, Where you come from?
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, just walking, roaming, yeah, to and fro.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: He's all around, like, yeah, as much as Jesus is in our hearts and he lives in us, the devil lives in the world.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he's actually on the prowl.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's really scary.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he said, from going to and fro on the on the earth and from walking back and forth on it.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: Ew, I hate that.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, actually.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: But I just wrote down like a couple things.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's like how how how do we live differently and like how can we be in the world but not become and be conformed?
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Is that a word?
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: Conform?
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Conform.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think so too.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: But obviously, first and foremost, love people.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: We can just simply love people and love on people and build relationships with people.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like working with like diligence and like a heart that wants to serve like others, the Lord, like I feel like working in that kind of manner.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: And then also just like enjoying God's creation, like appreciating what's around us and thanking him for everything.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: That is around us.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's good.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: I just don't want the world to shape any part of me.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like I just want to be set apart.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: And we are called.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, I think it says that somewhere in John.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: I think in John 17, where we read at the beginning.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, John 17, 17.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: The commentary on that says sanctify means to be set apart for God's special pleasure and use.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: It implify implies.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: It implies holiness, being set apart from the corruption of the world for God's use.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: The active power behind sanctification is truth.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: The word of God read, heard, understood, and applied.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like reading and applying all of that, and just in our everyday lives, like we're sanctified.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: Like we are set apart.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: And people can tell when you are set apart.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like you just have a different worldview.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: A different worldview.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: And I see this the most when like when I'm scrolling on social media.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: Have you ever seen like the Bryce Crawford videos?
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_01: There's actually one that's going around right now with Logan Paul.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: No, but it's like that one, it's like a really scary, like goblin-looking thing.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's like dressed up.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then he's like, Bryce like comes up to him.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, is he on the streets or something?
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: And he's like, You must be Bryce.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, huh?
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like, it says it somewhere in the Bible, like the demons, like they they know, they know Jesus' followers and who they are, exactly who they are.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: But that thing was like, You must be Bryce.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: Just do me a favor and run along, or something like that.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, Boy, boy, no, sir.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_01: But it's like people can tell that you are set apart.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like I want to be like that.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like you can tell when somebody is like a Christian.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: I can at least.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: For the most part.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'm wrong.
• 24:20
  unknown: Yeah.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: But like they just have a different like demeanor, different vibe about them.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's like I just want to be present with people while also just remaining grounded.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like present with everybody while also remaining grounded in like what God has for me and what my mission here is.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: Don't hide from things in the world.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: Like you're gonna work with people or meet people that are not Christ's followers.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: So what you should just not ever speak to them.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: So how do they come to know the Lord?
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like exactly if they never hear anybody talk about it because they're too scared or like too high and mighty to sit with the sinners.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's really all I have on that.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's really it's encouraging.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_01: Like I say this in every podcast because this is us just like talking through it too, not necessarily trying to like teach you how to do this.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: This is just us like also wanting to do this.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: But I just want to soak in every part of like I just want to study and soak it all in and apply it and like live it out.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: And it seems so easy on paper, but then like you're just like thrown out there into this craziness, and that's exactly what it is.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like I don't know, you can just start with like some practical ways that you can set yourself apart.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: What's a practical way?
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_00: Say your friends are all gossiping about somebody.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: Boom.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: Are you gonna join in?
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't know.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: No, I wasn't answering that.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: She's disagreeing with you.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's like instead of joining in, maybe don't, or even speak up and say, I don't really think we should be talking about this person when they're not here.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: Once they get here, we can go in.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: No, but we encourage you guys to be a light and just I don't know, continue walking through life with the fullness of the joy that Jesus promises us.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: The opposite of a chip on your shoulder.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: Love it.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's really all we have.
• 26:52
