  SPEAKER_00: He is he is taking a little podcast that's audio only.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Audio only guys.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: And he has really turned it into something global.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know why that happened?
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because people ask me, well, how could that happen?
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Your podcast is only audio.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: How does that happen, Georgina?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: How did that happen?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: How did that happen?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know how it happened, guys?
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Because I've remained low, meek, and humble at the feet of the Lord.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Let me let me explain that to you.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Let me break that down to you what that means.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Low meek and humble mean I remain humble.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: I remain low-key.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't let it go into my head.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't get a big head about it.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when I found out about um the podcast and the things that it was doing, I was like, oh my god, that's cool.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: But then when I found out about how many people were listening and how many people listen in July for my sister's memorial service, I was like, God, God, look at you.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: So anything that the Lord does for you or does for you, you gotta remain humble.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta remain as if nothing's happening.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta remain as if I mean you just gotta remain as if nothing is going on.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: But oftentimes people get like the biggest head ever.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Meaning they start looking at themselves like they're somebody great, the greatest in the world.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And they forget about the Lord, who is responsible for this most of the time.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: They start thinking it's all them, you know.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: I want to stay humble.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: If the Lord blessed me to get a billion people to listen, if he whatever the Lord blessed me to, I want to remain low, meek, and humble at the feet of the Lord.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: I do.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: I want to remain at the feet of the Lord.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know, because I'm aware.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm crazy enough to believe that without the Lord I can do nothing.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I can't do anything without the Lord.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Did you hear me clearly, people?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: I can do nothing without the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely nothing.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I am super thankful for everything that the Lord is doing, has done, continues to do in my life.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm I'm just thankful.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I give God praise for everything.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: He wakes me up in the morning, I'm praising God.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: I I go to sleep, I'm thanking God.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: I I get ready to eat, I'm thanking God.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Someone uh gives me something or does something for me, I'm thanking God.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm thanking God for every little thing.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because you you gotta realize if you thank the Lord for the smallest of things, then he started to bless you with bigger things.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: I remember my amazing pastor, and I learned this from her.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: I learned a lot of the things that I'm doing, I learned a lot from my pastor Prophetess Mother A.

  SPEAKER_00: B.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Jackson.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: My sister Laura and I used to live with her uh when we would go down and and stay overnight on the weekends, and so we would spend the night with her, and we learned so much from that wise woman of God.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: And what I learned from her, I'll never forget the the things, the little story she would always tell.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: It was this preacher, and he was just so amazed at how people were being healed at Mother A.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: B.
• 5:04

  SPEAKER_00: Jackson.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: He was amazed, and he said, Boy, if I had that, I would take the world.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: And Mother A.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: B.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Jackson said, That's why you don't have it.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: See, a lot of people they'll look at me and they'll be like, How what why?
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: How?
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: How her?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Why did she get that?

  SPEAKER_00: You know.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Woo! Guys, I'm telling you, if you lift up the Lord, if you give God praises, if you do that, and I promise you, you will have everything and anything that you want if you lift up the name of the Lord.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: When you give God all the praises, if I be lifted up, I'll draw amen.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: So you gotta realize it's not you.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I don't care to be visual.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: To be that's why I don't care to have my podcast um where people are doing the face-to-face thing, where I'm on there showing my pretty dress, my pretty skirt, my pretty whatever.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I love the the the uh audio almost like radio.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: I like that because I don't have to worry about people saying, uh, I love what you were wearing, I love your your hair, the way you had your hair, I love your earrings.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I love that dress you had on.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't have to worry about that.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't.

• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Laura could see what I couldn't see.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: In the early stages, in the early, not stages, but in the early days of this podcast, do you know that I was gonna give it up several times?
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: I would tell Laura, I would say, you know, I don't see any use in going on, I just want to give it up.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: And Laura would actually say, no, don't do that, Gina.
• 8:00

• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Don't do it.

  SPEAKER_00: It is what it is.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you walk with a fool, you're gonna be a fool.
