Who Really Provides Your Income? · Becoming Financially Confident

• 0:37
  Income
• 0:38
  matters.
• 0:39
  Bills
• 0:39
  are
• 0:39
  real
• 0:40
  and
• 0:40
  responsibilities
• 0:41
  are
• 0:41
  real.
• 0:42
  Yes,
• 0:42
  provision
• 0:43
  matters.
• 0:44
  But
• 0:44
  friend,
• 0:44
  there's
• 0:45
  a
• 0:45
  quiet
• 0:45
  danger
• 0:46
  when
• 0:46
  income
• 0:46
  becomes
• 0:47
  the
• 0:47
  source
• 0:48
  instead
• 0:48
  of
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  sign.
• 0:50
  Jobs
• 0:51
  change,
• 0:51
  hustles
• 0:52
  fluctuate
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  markets
• 0:53
  shift.
• 0:55
  And
• 0:55
  if
• 0:55
  your
• 0:55
  piece
• 0:56
  is
• 0:56
  tied
• 0:56
  only
• 0:56
  to
• 0:56
  a
• 0:57
  paycheck,
• 0:57
  it
• 0:58
  can
• 0:58
  disappear
• 0:58
  overnight.
• 1:00
  So
• 1:00
  today
• 1:00
  we're
• 1:00
  going
• 1:01
  to
• 1:01
  slow
• 1:01
  down
• 1:01
  long
• 1:01
  enough
• 1:01
  to
• 1:02
  remember
• 1:02
  something
• 1:02
  essential.
• 1:03
  And
• 1:04
  I'm
• 1:04
  not
• 1:04
  doing
• 1:04
  this
• 1:04
  show
• 1:05
  today
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  shame
• 1:05
  you,
• 1:06
  not
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  correct
• 1:07
  you.
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  just
• 1:07
  want
• 1:08
  to
• 1:08
  help
• 1:08
  steady
• 1:08
  you.
• 1:09
  Because
• 1:10
  you're
• 1:10
  not
• 1:10
  crazy
• 1:11
  for
• 1:11
  feeling
• 1:11
  pressure.
• 1:12
  You're
• 1:12
  human
• 1:13
  and
• 1:13
  you're
• 1:13
  going
• 1:14
  to
• 1:14
  be
• 1:14
  okay.
• 1:15
  So
• 1:15
  here's
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  question
• 1:16
  we're
• 1:16
  answering
• 1:16
  today.
• 1:17
  Who
• 1:18
  really
• 1:18
  provides
• 1:18
  your
• 1:19
  income?
• 1:20
  It's
• 1:20
  going
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  be
• 1:20
  a
• 1:21
  deep
• 1:21
  show
• 1:21
  today,
• 1:21
  but
• 1:21
  who
• 1:22
  really
• 1:22
  provides
• 1:22
  your
• 1:22
  income?
• 1:24
  And
• 1:24
  by
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  end
• 1:24
  of
• 1:25
  this
• 1:25
  episode,
• 1:25
  here's
• 1:25
  what
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  promise.
• 1:26
  You're
• 1:26
  going
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  feel
• 1:26
  more
• 1:26
  grounded
• 1:27
  instead
• 1:27
  of
• 1:27
  anxious.
• 1:28
  You're
• 1:28
  going
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  be
• 1:29
  more
• 1:29
  grateful
• 1:30
  instead
• 1:30
  of
• 1:30
  pressured.
• 1:30
  And
• 1:31
  guess
• 1:31
  what?
• 1:31
  You're
• 1:32
  going
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  be
• 1:32
  clear
• 1:32
  about
• 1:32
  where
• 1:33
  your
• 1:33
  trust
• 1:33
  belongs.
• 1:35
  No
• 1:35
  guilt
• 1:35
  today.
• 1:36
  No
• 1:36
  heavy
• 1:36
  handed
• 1:37
  should.
• 1:37
  Just
• 1:38
  perspective
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  peace.
• 2:00
  Hey,
• 2:00
  friend.
• 2:01
  Ralph
• 2:01
  Estep
• 2:02
  Jr.
• 2:02
  Here.
• 2:02
  Welcome
• 2:02
  to
• 2:03
  Financially
• 2:03
  Confident
• 2:04
  Christian.
• 2:04
  We
• 2:05
  learn
• 2:05
  how
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  walk
• 2:05
  through
• 2:05
  life
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  money
• 2:06
  with
• 2:07
  wisdom,
• 2:07
  with
• 2:08
  peace,
• 2:08
  and
• 2:09
  with
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  heart
• 2:09
  anchored
• 2:09
  in
• 2:10
  God's
• 2:10
  truth.
• 2:11
  My
• 2:11
  mission
• 2:11
  on
• 2:11
  this
• 2:12
  show
• 2:12
  is
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  help
• 2:12
  you
• 2:12
  break
• 2:12
  the
• 2:13
  cycle
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  financial
• 2:14
  shame
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  build
• 2:14
  steady
• 2:15
  habits
• 2:15
  rooted
• 2:16
  in
• 2:16
  faith
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  truly
• 2:17
  become
• 2:18
  financially
• 2:19
  confident
• 2:19
  Christians.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  I'm
• 2:21
  really
• 2:21
  glad
• 2:21
  you're
• 2:21
  here
• 2:21
  today.
• 2:22
  Yesterday
• 2:23
  we
• 2:23
  talked
• 2:23
  about
• 2:23
  those
• 2:24
  multiple
• 2:24
  streams
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  income,
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  jobs,
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  side
• 2:26
  hustles,
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  learning
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  diversify
• 2:29
  wisely.
• 2:30
  These
• 2:30
  things
• 2:30
  were
• 2:30
  all
• 2:31
  important,
• 2:31
  all
• 2:32
  helpful.
• 2:33
  But
• 2:33
  today
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  want
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  zoom
• 2:34
  out
• 2:35
  because
• 2:35
  streams
• 2:36
  are
• 2:36
  tools.
• 2:37
  And
• 2:37
  listen,
• 2:37
  tools
• 2:38
  are
• 2:38
  good,
• 2:39
  but
• 2:39
  tools
• 2:40
  were
• 2:40
  never
• 2:40
  meant
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  carry
• 2:41
  your
• 2:41
  trust.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:42
  today
• 2:43
  is
• 2:43
  about
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  source.
• 2:44
  And
• 2:44
  we're
• 2:44
  not
• 2:44
  doing
• 2:44
  this
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  make
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  feel
• 2:45
  small,
• 2:46
  but
• 2:47
  I'm
• 2:47
  really
• 2:47
  doing
• 2:47
  it
• 2:47
  to
• 2:48
  make
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  feel
• 2:48
  safe.
• 2:50
  Here's
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  quiet
• 2:50
  question
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  lot
• 2:51
  of
• 2:51
  people
• 2:52
  carry.
• 2:52
  Maybe
• 2:52
  you're
• 2:52
  carrying
• 2:53
  it
• 2:53
  right
• 2:53
  now,
• 2:53
  too.
• 2:54
  Ralph,
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  know
• 2:55
  God
• 2:55
  provides.
• 2:57
  So
• 2:57
  why
• 2:57
  does
• 2:57
  it
• 2:57
  still
• 2:58
  feel
• 2:58
  like
• 2:58
  everything
• 2:59
  depends
• 2:59
  on
• 2:59
  me?
• 3:01
  Friend,
• 3:01
  I'm
• 3:02
  going
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  tell
• 3:02
  you
• 3:02
  right
• 3:02
  now,
• 3:02
  if
• 3:02
  that's
• 3:03
  you,
• 3:03
  you're
• 3:03
  not
• 3:03
  alone
• 3:03
  feeling
• 3:04
  like
• 3:04
  that.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  guess
• 3:04
  what?
• 3:05
  You're
• 3:05
  not
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  bad
• 3:05
  Christian.
• 3:06
  You're
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  responsible
• 3:08
  person
• 3:08
  who's
• 3:08
  been
• 3:08
  under
• 3:09
  pressure.
• 3:10
  And
• 3:11
  if
• 3:11
  you
• 3:11
  felt
• 3:11
  like
• 3:11
  you
• 3:12
  can't
• 3:12
  breathe
• 3:13
  because
• 3:13
  you're
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  one
• 3:14
  holding
• 3:14
  it
• 3:15
  all.
• 3:16
  If
• 3:16
  rest
• 3:16
  feels
• 3:17
  irresponsible,
• 3:18
  slowing
• 3:18
  down
• 3:18
  makes
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  anxious,
• 3:19
  like
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  whole
• 3:20
  thing
• 3:20
  might
• 3:20
  collapse,
• 3:22
  that
• 3:22
  doesn't
• 3:23
  mean
• 3:23
  your
• 3:23
  faith
• 3:23
  is
• 3:24
  weak.
• 3:24
  It
• 3:25
  just
• 3:25
  means
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  load
• 3:26
  has
• 3:26
  been
• 3:26
  heavy
• 3:26
  on
• 3:26
  you.
• 3:28
  And
• 3:28
  friend,
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  just
• 3:29
  want
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  Say
• 3:29
  it.
• 3:30
  You
• 3:30
  were
• 3:30
  never
• 3:31
  meant
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  carry
• 3:31
  the
• 3:32
  entire
• 3:32
  weight
• 3:32
  of
• 3:32
  provision
• 3:33
  by
• 3:33
  yourself
• 3:34
  because
• 3:35
  you're
• 3:35
  diligent.
• 3:35
  Hey.
• 3:36
  But
• 3:36
  you're
• 3:36
  also
• 3:36
  tired.
• 3:38
  And
• 3:38
  God
• 3:38
  sees
• 3:39
  you.
• 3:39
  He
• 3:39
  sees
• 3:39
  you
• 3:40
  loud
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  clear.
• 3:41
  And
• 3:42
  here's
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  truth.
• 3:42
  We
• 3:42
  need
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  remember.
• 3:44
  Your
• 3:44
  job
• 3:45
  is
• 3:45
  not
• 3:45
  your
• 3:45
  provider.
• 3:47
  It's
• 3:47
  just
• 3:48
  not.
• 3:48
  Your
• 3:48
  hustle
• 3:48
  is
• 3:49
  not
• 3:49
  your
• 3:49
  provider.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:50
  guess
• 3:50
  what,
• 3:51
  business
• 3:51
  friends,
• 3:51
  your
• 3:52
  clients
• 3:52
  are
• 3:52
  not
• 3:52
  your
• 3:53
  provider
• 3:53
  either.
• 3:54
  They're
• 3:55
  instruments.
• 3:55
  They're
• 3:56
  channels.
• 3:56
  They're
• 3:57
  part
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  how
• 3:57
  provision
• 3:58
  arrives
• 3:58
  at
• 3:58
  you,
• 3:59
  but
• 4:00
  they
• 4:00
  are
• 4:00
  not
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  source.
• 4:01
  And
• 4:02
  when
• 4:02
  we
• 4:02
  confuse
• 4:02
  the
• 4:03
  channel
• 4:03
  for
• 4:03
  the
• 4:04
  provider,
• 4:05
  that's
• 4:05
  where
• 4:05
  anxiety
• 4:06
  grows
• 4:06
  fast.
• 4:07
  Because
• 4:07
  the
• 4:08
  truth
• 4:08
  is,
• 4:08
  channels
• 4:09
  can
• 4:09
  change
• 4:09
  overnight.
• 4:10
  But
• 4:11
  God's
• 4:11
  faithfulness
• 4:12
  doesn't
• 4:13
  change.
• 4:13
  It
• 4:13
  never
• 4:14
  changes.
• 4:15
  And
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  know
• 4:15
  I've
• 4:16
  lived
• 4:16
  through
• 4:16
  seasons
• 4:16
  where
• 4:17
  income
• 4:17
  felt
• 4:17
  predictable,
• 4:18
  like
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  had
• 4:18
  it
• 4:19
  all
• 4:19
  lined
• 4:19
  up,
• 4:19
  everything
• 4:20
  was
• 4:20
  great.
• 4:21
  But
• 4:22
  I've
• 4:22
  also
• 4:22
  lived
• 4:22
  through
• 4:23
  seasons
• 4:23
  where
• 4:23
  I
• 4:23
  didn't
• 4:24
  have
• 4:24
  it
• 4:24
  all
• 4:24
  together,
• 4:25
  where
• 4:25
  something
• 4:26
  shifted
• 4:26
  suddenly.
• 4:27
  And
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  plan
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  thought
• 4:27
  was
• 4:28
  stable.
• 4:28
  Guess
• 4:28
  what?
• 4:29
  It
• 4:29
  just
• 4:29
  wasn't
• 4:29
  stable.
• 4:31
  But
• 4:31
  I
• 4:31
  can
• 4:32
  tell
• 4:32
  you
• 4:32
  this.
• 4:33
  God
• 4:34
  has
• 4:34
  been
• 4:34
  steady.
• 4:35
  He's
• 4:35
  been
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  rock,
• 4:36
  even
• 4:36
  when
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  income
• 4:37
  wasn't
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  way.
• 4:38
  Now,
• 4:38
  it
• 4:39
  wasn't
• 4:39
  always
• 4:39
  predictable,
• 4:40
  but.
• 4:41
  But
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  always
• 4:41
  present.
• 4:42
  And
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  remember
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  season
• 4:44
  when
• 4:44
  everything
• 4:44
  felt
• 4:45
  uncertain
• 4:45
  in
• 4:45
  my
• 4:45
  life.
• 4:46
  There
• 4:46
  was
• 4:46
  no
• 4:46
  guarantees.
• 4:47
  There
• 4:47
  were
• 4:47
  no
• 4:48
  clear
• 4:48
  answers.
• 4:49
  Just
• 4:49
  responsibilities
• 4:50
  and
• 4:51
  more
• 4:51
  questions
• 4:51
  and
• 4:52
  more
• 4:52
  responsibilities
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  more
• 4:54
  questions.
• 4:55
  And
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  was
• 4:55
  doing
• 4:55
  what
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  could
• 4:56
  do.
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  was
• 4:57
  doing
• 4:57
  like
• 4:57
  you
• 4:58
  are.
• 4:58
  I'm
• 4:58
  showing
• 4:58
  up,
• 4:58
  I'm
• 4:59
  working
• 4:59
  hard,
• 5:00
  trying
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  be
• 5:00
  responsible.
• 5:02
  But
• 5:03
  peace
• 5:03
  didn't
• 5:03
  come
• 5:04
  right
• 5:04
  away.
• 5:05
  Peace
• 5:05
  didn't
• 5:06
  come,
• 5:06
  actually,
• 5:06
  until
• 5:07
  something
• 5:07
  changed
• 5:07
  inside
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  me
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  I
• 5:10
  stopped
• 5:10
  asking,
• 5:11
  how
• 5:11
  do
• 5:12
  I
• 5:12
  control
• 5:12
  this?
• 5:13
  Because
• 5:13
  that's
• 5:14
  what
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  was
• 5:14
  asking.
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  was
• 5:14
  asking,
• 5:15
  how
• 5:15
  do
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  control
• 5:16
  this?
• 5:16
  How
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  control
• 5:17
  all
• 5:17
  this
• 5:17
  uncertainty
• 5:18
  around
• 5:18
  me?
• 5:19
  And
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  started
• 5:20
  asking
• 5:20
  something
• 5:21
  different.
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  started
• 5:23
  saying,
• 5:23
  God,
• 5:23
  how
• 5:24
  are
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  providing
• 5:25
  here
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  might
• 5:26
  be
• 5:26
  missing?
• 5:27
  Because,
• 5:27
  see,
• 5:27
  that's
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  difference.
• 5:29
  And
• 5:29
  that
• 5:29
  shift
• 5:29
  changed
• 5:30
  everything.
• 5:31
  Because
• 5:31
  I
• 5:31
  started
• 5:31
  noticing
• 5:32
  provision
• 5:33
  isn't
• 5:33
  always
• 5:34
  what
• 5:34
  I
• 5:35
  was
• 5:35
  counting
• 5:35
  before.
• 5:37
  So
• 5:38
  here's
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  real
• 5:38
  question
• 5:38
  today.
• 5:40
  Where
• 5:40
  is
• 5:40
  your
• 5:41
  confidence?
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  that's
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  key
• 5:42
  word.
• 5:42
  Where
• 5:43
  is
• 5:43
  your
• 5:43
  confidence
• 5:43
  really
• 5:44
  placed?
• 5:45
  Is
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  the
• 5:46
  stream
• 5:47
  or
• 5:47
  is
• 5:47
  it
• 5:48
  in
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  source?
• 5:49
  Is
• 5:49
  it
• 5:50
  in
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  paycheck
• 5:51
  or
• 5:52
  on
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  provider?
• 5:53
  And
• 5:53
  let's
• 5:54
  walk
• 5:54
  through
• 5:54
  this
• 5:54
  today.
• 5:55
  Here's
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  balanced
• 5:56
  truth.
• 5:57
  Income
• 5:58
  streams
• 5:58
  matter.
• 5:59
  They
• 5:59
  pay
• 5:59
  your
• 5:59
  bills.
• 6:00
  They
• 6:00
  create
• 6:00
  margin.
• 6:01
  They're
• 6:01
  part
• 6:02
  of
• 6:02
  good
• 6:02
  wisdom.
• 6:02
  Yes,
• 6:03
  they
• 6:03
  are
• 6:03
  part
• 6:03
  of
• 6:03
  it.
• 6:03
  But
• 6:03
  guess
• 6:04
  what?
• 6:04
  They're
• 6:04
  not
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  ultimate.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  want
• 6:06
  to
• 6:07
  give
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  three
• 6:07
  common
• 6:08
  anchors
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  hold
• 6:08
  on
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  today.
• 6:10
  It
• 6:10
  starts
• 6:11
  with
• 6:11
  accepting
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  God
• 6:12
  Provides
• 6:12
  through
• 6:13
  systems,
• 6:14
  but
• 6:14
  he
• 6:14
  isn't
• 6:15
  limited
• 6:15
  by
• 6:16
  them.
• 6:17
  See,
• 6:17
  your
• 6:18
  paycheck
• 6:18
  is
• 6:18
  one
• 6:18
  way
• 6:19
  that
• 6:19
  God
• 6:19
  provides
• 6:19
  you.
• 6:20
  It
• 6:20
  just
• 6:20
  does.
• 6:21
  But
• 6:21
  it's
• 6:22
  not
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  only
• 6:22
  way.
• 6:23
  Sometimes
• 6:24
  God
• 6:24
  provides
• 6:25
  through
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  conversation.
• 6:26
  You
• 6:26
  weren't
• 6:26
  expecting
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  conversation,
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  somebody
• 6:28
  had
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  conversation
• 6:29
  with
• 6:30
  you.
• 6:30
  Maybe
• 6:30
  he
• 6:30
  provides
• 6:31
  through
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  connection.
• 6:32
  Someone
• 6:32
  that
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  met
• 6:33
  who
• 6:33
  connected
• 6:34
  some
• 6:34
  dots
• 6:34
  for
• 6:35
  you.
• 6:35
  Hey,
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  my
• 6:36
  life,
• 6:36
  I've
• 6:36
  seen
• 6:36
  this
• 6:37
  happen.
• 6:37
  A
• 6:37
  refund
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  didn't
• 6:38
  expect
• 6:39
  just
• 6:39
  when
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  needed
• 6:40
  it.
• 6:41
  Or
• 6:41
  a
• 6:42
  door
• 6:42
  opening
• 6:42
  at
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  right
• 6:43
  time.
• 6:43
  Those
• 6:43
  things
• 6:43
  aren't
• 6:44
  coincidence.
• 6:45
  That's
• 6:45
  God
• 6:45
  providing.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:47
  sometimes
• 6:48
  God
• 6:48
  provides
• 6:49
  through
• 6:49
  prevention.
• 6:50
  Think
• 6:50
  about
• 6:50
  this.
• 6:51
  A
• 6:51
  breakdown
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  that
• 6:51
  car
• 6:52
  that
• 6:52
  didn't
• 6:52
  happen.
• 6:52
  You
• 6:52
  thought
• 6:53
  for
• 6:53
  sure
• 6:53
  this
• 6:53
  car
• 6:53
  was
• 6:53
  going
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  break
• 6:54
  down,
• 6:54
  but
• 6:55
  it
• 6:55
  didn't.
• 6:55
  Or
• 6:55
  maybe
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  medical
• 6:56
  bill
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  didn't
• 6:57
  have.
• 6:59
  Or
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  mistake
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  so
• 7:00
  many
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  us
• 7:00
  have
• 7:01
  made,
• 7:01
  but
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  just
• 7:01
  avoided
• 7:02
  it
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  time.
• 7:04
  See,
• 7:04
  provision
• 7:05
  isn't
• 7:05
  just
• 7:05
  what
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  gain.
• 7:07
  Sometimes
• 7:07
  it's
• 7:07
  what
• 7:07
  you're
• 7:08
  spared.
• 7:09
  Because
• 7:10
  we
• 7:10
  got
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  remember
• 7:11
  that
• 7:11
  your
• 7:11
  ability
• 7:11
  is
• 7:12
  part
• 7:12
  of
• 7:12
  God's
• 7:13
  provision,
• 7:13
  not
• 7:13
  ability.
• 7:14
  See,
• 7:14
  a
• 7:15
  lot
• 7:15
  of
• 7:15
  people
• 7:15
  think
• 7:15
  provision
• 7:16
  is
• 7:16
  money,
• 7:17
  but
• 7:18
  Scripture
• 7:18
  shows
• 7:19
  something
• 7:19
  deeper.
• 7:20
  God
• 7:20
  provides
• 7:21
  us
• 7:21
  with
• 7:21
  strength.
• 7:22
  He
• 7:23
  provides
• 7:23
  us
• 7:23
  with
• 7:23
  skill.
• 7:24
  He
• 7:24
  provides
• 7:25
  us
• 7:25
  with
• 7:25
  ideas.
• 7:26
  He
• 7:26
  gives
• 7:27
  us
• 7:27
  endurance.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:28
  yes,
• 7:28
  he
• 7:28
  gives
• 7:28
  us
• 7:29
  wisdom.
• 7:30
  So
• 7:30
  when
• 7:30
  you
• 7:31
  say,
• 7:31
  I
• 7:31
  don't
• 7:32
  know
• 7:32
  how
• 7:32
  I'm
• 7:32
  going
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  make
• 7:32
  it,
• 7:34
  friend,
• 7:34
  don't
• 7:34
  forget,
• 7:36
  God's
• 7:36
  going
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  provide
• 7:37
  you
• 7:37
  solutions
• 7:37
  before
• 7:38
  he
• 7:38
  provides
• 7:38
  dollars
• 7:39
  sometimes.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:41
  when
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  remember
• 7:41
  the
• 7:42
  source,
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  gratitude
• 7:44
  returns
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  anxiety
• 7:46
  loosens.
• 7:47
  See,
• 7:47
  because
• 7:47
  when
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  stream
• 7:48
  becomes
• 7:49
  your
• 7:49
  God,
• 7:49
  you
• 7:50
  always
• 7:50
  feel
• 7:50
  under
• 7:51
  pressure
• 7:52
  because
• 7:52
  you're
• 7:53
  worshiping
• 7:53
  something
• 7:54
  fragile.
• 7:54
  You're
• 7:54
  worshiping
• 7:55
  something
• 7:55
  that
• 7:56
  can
• 7:56
  break.
• 7:57
  But
• 7:58
  when
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  remember
• 7:58
  the
• 7:59
  source,
• 8:00
  even
• 8:00
  imperfect
• 8:01
  provision
• 8:02
  can
• 8:02
  feel
• 8:02
  steady.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  it's
• 8:03
  not
• 8:04
  because
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  have
• 8:04
  endless
• 8:05
  money,
• 8:06
  but
• 8:06
  because
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  have
• 8:07
  a
• 8:07
  faithful
• 8:08
  father
• 8:09
  friend.
• 8:10
  You're
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  abandoned.
• 8:12
  You're
• 8:12
  not
• 8:12
  forgotten.
• 8:13
  You're
• 8:13
  not.
• 8:13
  You
• 8:13
  may
• 8:13
  be
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  tight
• 8:14
  season.
• 8:14
  You
• 8:14
  might
• 8:15
  be
• 8:15
  listening
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  this
• 8:15
  right
• 8:15
  now.
• 8:15
  You're
• 8:16
  like,
• 8:16
  ralph,
• 8:16
  you
• 8:16
  don't
• 8:16
  get
• 8:17
  it,
• 8:17
  dude.
• 8:17
  What
• 8:17
  I'm
• 8:17
  going
• 8:18
  through,
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  have
• 8:18
  no
• 8:19
  concept.
• 8:21
  But
• 8:21
  tight
• 8:21
  seasons
• 8:22
  don't
• 8:22
  cancel
• 8:23
  God's
• 8:23
  care.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:25
  here's
• 8:25
  something
• 8:25
  I
• 8:26
  want
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  remind
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  of.
• 8:27
  Trusting
• 8:28
  God
• 8:28
  doesn't
• 8:29
  mean
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  do
• 8:29
  nothing.
• 8:30
  A
• 8:30
  lot
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  people
• 8:30
  say,
• 8:30
  well,
• 8:30
  okay,
• 8:31
  I'm
• 8:31
  just
• 8:31
  going
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  trust
• 8:31
  God.
• 8:31
  I'm
• 8:31
  not
• 8:32
  going
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  do
• 8:32
  anything.
• 8:32
  You
• 8:33
  still
• 8:33
  got
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  do
• 8:33
  your
• 8:33
  part.
• 8:35
  Just
• 8:35
  don't
• 8:35
  carry
• 8:35
  God's
• 8:36
  part
• 8:36
  anymore.
• 8:37
  Yes,
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  work.
• 8:38
  You
• 8:38
  steward,
• 8:39
  you
• 8:39
  plan.
• 8:39
  You
• 8:39
  plan
• 8:40
  like
• 8:40
  crazy.
• 8:42
  But
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  don't
• 8:43
  have
• 8:43
  to
• 8:43
  panic
• 8:43
  anymore
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  everything
• 8:44
  depends
• 8:45
  on
• 8:45
  you,
• 8:46
  because
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  doesn't.
• 8:48
  It
• 8:48
  depends
• 8:48
  on
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  source.
• 8:50
  And
• 8:51
  let's
• 8:51
  get
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  our
• 8:51
  Bible
• 8:51
  verse.
• 8:52
