Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well welcome.
- 0:02Speaker 1: This is the Stuck no More Collective.
- 0:04Speaker 1: You also might be listening on the Stuck no More podcast.
- 0:07Speaker 1: I'm Teresa Croft and I am so excited to come to you on this monthly call with the Stuck no More Collective.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm really excited because I've never in a long time shared some of the basis of why I believe your voice is so important From the word of God.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I got my Bible here, don't always have my Bible.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I usually have an iPad, which I do.
- 0:30Speaker 1: So this is my question to you.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Like I said, live or recorded.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Let me ask you some things.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Do you believe that your voice and your actions can help you get out of debt?
- 0:41Speaker 1: Come on, and help you get out of debt, come on.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Do you believe your voice could impact dramatically the life of another person, even when you may be trapped in the moment?
- 0:53Speaker 1: All right, so I'm Teresa Croft.
- 0:57Speaker 1: If you're just listening and you're just into the collective, I'll see if any of I gave a personal invite to those in the collective to join me Back screen.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay.
- 1:07Speaker 1: There you are.
- 1:08Speaker 1: So this is exciting for me because I guess it's taken until 2025 to be able to really step up confidently, knowing I'm not talking from my wounds but my scars.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Those of you who don't know me are not familiar.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I've been on video since 2011, 12, and then Facebook came around, always on video.
- 1:33Speaker 1: But what was I doing?
- 1:34Speaker 1: Always on video?
- 1:35Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I was fighting for my voice.
- 1:37Speaker 1: This year, god gave me a revelation of why I was able to fight for my voice, and it goes something like this when you do something that's lined in your very DNA okay, and God, the Holy Spirit, swooshes in there and you start to create.
- 1:56Speaker 1: As God creates, breakthrough happens Even in the midst.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I was 26 years.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I'm not a really good situation, okay, but that's not my identity.
- 2:07Speaker 1: The years of pain and misery became my destiny.
- 2:15Speaker 1: The anguish of the messages became my kingdom.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Message become part of my business to help you find your voice, share your voice and speak your voice.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It's like my life can be your survival guide and an amazing line from a friend God's turned the landmines into landmarks of his faithfulness.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So, no matter where you are and you think, can my voice get me out of debt?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Give me a clue, give me what are you talking about?
- 2:48Speaker 1: Can my voice, even though I'm a captive, help save the life of someone, that which I'm going to talk about.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'm going to share a little scripture, but that captive word really, really impacted me because I felt like I was captive, really, really impacted me.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Because I felt like I was captive in my marriage because there was control.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I couldn't do the things I wanted to do.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I stayed on the.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I fought to get on camera because I was trying to with my business.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Those of you remember the Kingdom Mentor Academy.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I had two years of fighting to get on the camera and help women find their voice, share their voice, to get on the camera and help women find their voice, share their voice.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So, out of that and being free and once again, when you know God's called you to use your voice, there's a place where you know that.
- 3:37Speaker 1: You know you need some restoration.
- 3:38Speaker 1: You might even need constant therapy, but what happens is, when you get healed, the transformation effect where you get to speak to the person you once were, and you know that, don't you?
- 3:53Speaker 1: So I am getting to speak to the people I once was.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I do talk privately to a lot of women that are in really narcissistic relationships.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I share my last podcast.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I was with amazing Hannah Abbott and she actually got out after seven months, one of the best podcasts of really explaining just some basic ways to escape.
- 4:21Speaker 1: But that's not why I'm here today, no, no, you're watching this and you're joining me.
- 4:27Speaker 1: This is the kickoff of the StechnoMore Collective behind the StechnoMore Bootcamp and the StechnoMore Academy.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I'll tell you more about that, but let's can I share something?
- 4:38Speaker 1: This next part of scripture I'm going to share with you.
- 4:41Speaker 1: That way, back in 2008, I was on the radio to 2006.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And I had to retire because we were moving to another state.
- 4:51Speaker 1: We ended up coming back, our house was set on fire, just lots of stuff going on, and I would always get up early before I took my kids to work and I was starting to study marketing because I wanted to have my hands on the keyboard.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I wanted to do something, I wanted to make money for my family and I stumbled across this.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Because it's a little bit of scripture, let me see if I can't share it with you.
- 5:18Speaker 1: And right here, 2 Kings 4, verses 1 through 7.
- 5:28Speaker 1: So I'm going to.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I got it there so you can read along with me.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Let me see if I reduce myself.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You can see it a little better.
- 5:34Speaker 1: This is the part I'm just going to read it, okay, and then I want you to let me download what I got out of it that, to this day, is like a landmark.
- 5:45Speaker 1: It's a landmark.
- 5:47Speaker 1: It's the foundation of the Second no More Academy, the Second no More Bootcamp.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Check it out.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Starting in verse one, a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying your servant, my husband, is dead and you know that your servant, feared the Lord and the creditor, is coming to take my two sons to be a slave.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So this woman, this widow, is in drastic financial situation Verse 2,.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So Elisha said to her what shall I do for you?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Tell me, what do you have in the house?
- 6:20Speaker 1: And she said your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Then he said go borrow vessels from everywhere, from all of your neighbors, empty vessels, do not gather just a few.
- 6:32Speaker 1: And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons and then pour it into all those vessels and set aside the full ones.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons brought in the vessels to her and she poured it out.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her sons bring another vessel.
- 6:55Speaker 1: And he said to her there's not another vessel.
- 6:59Speaker 1: So the oil ceased.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Then she came and told the man of God and he said go sell the oil and pay your debts and you and your sons shall live.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Can you see the kernels in this?
- 7:14Speaker 1: Come on, can you see the truth?
- 7:16Speaker 1: Where does using your voice?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you have to ask I love to see this widow.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you have to ask I love to see this widow.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Her husband died but he was one of the prophets, so he was friends with Elisha, so she knew where and who needed to hear her voice.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Your servant, my husband is dead and she even gives a little prop.
- 7:40Speaker 1: And you know, my husband feared the Lord and she came to Elisha.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Actually, I think Elisha passed by and imagine put yourself in her shoes the creditor is coming to take my two sons.
- 7:56Speaker 1: That's some serious debt when the life of your family is on the line.
- 8:01Speaker 1: But I love Elisha.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Elisha didn't shake, just like Jesus didn't shake when he had to feed 5,000.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Jesus said what do we have, guys?
- 8:10Speaker 1: They said five loaves and two fish.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Elisha pretty much did the same thing.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Look at the questions.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He asked her what shall I do for you?
- 8:18Speaker 1: Like he's asking her.
- 8:20Speaker 1: He's giving her an open door.
- 8:21Speaker 1: What shall I do for you?
- 8:21Speaker 1: Like he's asking her, he's giving her an open door.
- 8:22Speaker 1: What shall I do for you?
- 8:24Speaker 1: Then he said this crucial question tell me, what do you have in the house?
- 8:32Speaker 1: So back in 2008, I was reading this and so wanting to help my family financially, and I'll never forget when I read this and I feel like the Holy Spirit was saying Suti, what do you have in your house?
- 8:43Speaker 1: I said well, I have a computer, I have a camera.
- 8:48Speaker 1: There weren't iPhones.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Back then I said so, that's what I have in my house, and my oil was the little because I was surviving, but the oil was what God was teaching me.
- 9:00Speaker 1: So I used a computer and a camera.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Those were my vessels.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Now, this is really important.
- 9:10Speaker 1: He told her what did you have?
- 9:14Speaker 1: She had a little jar of oil.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Apparently it was like really little and he told her what to do.
- 9:19Speaker 1: So sometimes, in the midst of your lack, god is going to tell you what to do and you have to activate it, and sometimes it will take your voice.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Because he said borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors.
- 9:34Speaker 1: She had to use her voice to ask hey, can I borrow your vessel?
- 9:39Speaker 1: Let me imagine that.
- 9:41Speaker 1: And she had to get her family involved.
- 9:42Speaker 1: So her voice affected her family.
- 9:44Speaker 1: We're on 2 Kings 4, if you're just popping in, thanks for popping in, I appreciate you.
- 9:50Speaker 1: So she gathered vessels and not just a view.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And when she had gotten those vessels, can I point out something really key?
- 10:00Speaker 1: And when she had gotten those vessels, can I point out something really key.
- 10:04Speaker 1: When you're going about obeying God, fighting for your voice, working on what you have in the house, it might be a computer, it might be knitting, it might be your kitchen, because you're an amazing cook what do you have in the house?
- 10:14Speaker 1: And it might also be something you really enjoy.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I think there's something to that.
- 10:19Speaker 1: But guess what she did?
- 10:20Speaker 1: Will you just embrace this thought?
- 10:25Speaker 1: She closed the door behind her and her son's like come on, guys.
- 10:31Speaker 1: She closed the door.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to close the door to the doubters.
- 10:38Speaker 1: You're like what are you doing?
- 10:40Speaker 1: Close the door.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Those are your pearls.
- 10:42Speaker 1: God told you to do something and you don't want them treading on your territory.
- 10:46Speaker 1: She closed the doors.
- 10:48Speaker 1: We have to close the door to doubt.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Close the door to those that mock us because see, we're doing something and that threatens them because they're not doing anything and that threatens them because they're not doing anything.
- 11:01Speaker 1: So close the doors.
- 11:01Speaker 1: One of my biggest door that I had to close, to be real honest with you, my husband was working then and I would work on the computer and my kids knew when dad came in they would let me know and I closed my computer and go out to greet him and act like I wasn't on it all day.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I had to close the door because he wasn't celebrating my vision.
- 11:26Speaker 1: He was trying to control it.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to close the doors to those around you.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Sometimes closed doors means boundaries.
- 11:35Speaker 1: But she began to pour and she poured and she looked and she said, hey, I got all this filled up.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And he said go and sell and pay your debt.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And she and her sons lived on.
- 11:53Speaker 1: The rest, you can use your voice to get on the out of debt.
- 11:59Speaker 1: What do you have in your house?
- 12:02Speaker 1: That's just such a foundational I could.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I could just close the microphone and say that is the story of my life.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That verse, those verses have saved me.
- 12:12Speaker 1: It's like fire burned into my soul.
- 12:16Speaker 1: So when I see you and you want to, you want.
- 12:19Speaker 1: You know you got a voice and you just try and figure out how to get it out there to the right places.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Or you know you have a business and you just feel I need something and I think it's tied to my voice.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Oftentimes, when I say voice, I am talking about your identity, your identity.
- 12:36Speaker 1: New actions produce new identity, new activity produces.
- 12:40Speaker 1: So when I'm talking about your voice, oftentimes I'm talking about your identity.
- 12:45Speaker 1: So that was 2 Kings 4.
- 12:48Speaker 1: But this one is just one chapter over.
- 12:50Speaker 1: 2 Kings 4 is full of stuff.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I could tell you more stuff about it.
- 12:54Speaker 1: That's the basis of my business.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But let's just go over to 2 Kings 5.
- 12:58Speaker 1: I was remembering this quite a few weeks ago and I was like God, I remember that part where the girl was captured.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Where is that?
- 13:09Speaker 1: And the very next day I got a devotional with the verses in it.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I'm like thank you, god, because this is just as much a part of the Second no More Academy, and even the story of my life, than Second Kings chapter four.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Second Kings chapter five.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Let's just read it first and then I would love to talk about it, so let me get it up there.
- 13:31Speaker 1: This is so much fun, so hold on.
- 13:35Speaker 1: And let's see, I got to go to the next page.
- 13:40Speaker 1: And let's see, I got to go to the next page.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I want you to read it, because it's a bit of scripture and just me sitting here and reading it isn't the same.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, teresa.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Okay, watch this.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Do you see that?
- 13:56Speaker 1: Make sure you can see that.
- 13:57Speaker 1: That's 2 Corinthians 5, verses 1 through 5.
- 14:00Speaker 1: And it's obviously I highlighted in green.
- 14:03Speaker 1: If you're listening on the podcast, because I think this needs to go on the podcast, I'll make sure you know which one is the verses I want you to focus on.
- 14:17Speaker 1: I got to tell you that this one really encouraged me because I felt captured.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's not my identity, okay, but the life that I lived in misery, in being slammed with my voice, emotional trauma.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I felt like I was captured and I'll never forget the day I read this.
- 14:39Speaker 1: So can your voice get you out of debt?
- 14:42Speaker 1: Yes, can your voice have something to do, even when you're captured, to save the life of someone else?
- 14:48Speaker 1: Even when you're captured, when you create the way God creates, there still is action, there still is purpose.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So you may be captured right now, like, oh, I guess you got free, theresa, I haven't got free.
- 15:02Speaker 1: No, you, I did things while I was captured.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I wrote devotionals.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Listen to the vine dresser.
- 15:09Speaker 1: And god would just.
- 15:11Speaker 1: He was just, he just talked to me in the morning.
- 15:14Speaker 1: I'd write what he said.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But why was that helping me fight?
- 15:17Speaker 1: I was creating, creating the way God created, creating in the voice of the Father.
- 15:21Speaker 1: So here we go Now.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria.
- 15:34Speaker 1: He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.
- 15:38Speaker 1: So here's this amazing man.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And guess what?
- 15:43Speaker 1: And the Syrians had gone this is the part we have in green, those of you who are listening and the Syrians had gone out on raids and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel.
- 15:54Speaker 1: She waited on Naaman's wife.
- 15:57Speaker 1: So she's a servant, captured, but she's not afraid to talk.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Then she said to her mistress if only my master were with the prophet, who was in Samaria, for he would heal him of his leprosy.
- 16:10Speaker 1: And Naaman went in and told his master saying thus and thus, said the girl who was from the land of Israel and, as we know, naaman took him a second or two but he went and was healed of his leprosy.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Think about that.
- 16:31Speaker 1: She wasn't afraid she was captured, but she wasn't afraid to use her voice.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Sometimes the part of being captured in a situation and thinking your voice has no impact it does you know this captured Israeli girl?
- 16:52Speaker 1: She told Naaman's wife.
- 16:54Speaker 1: So she had to use her voice to build relationship with Naaman's wife.
- 17:00Speaker 1: So Naaman's wife trusted her.
- 17:01Speaker 1: So he told her husband hey, the captured Israel girl says if you go to Elisha, you're going to be healed of that leprosy.
- 17:08Speaker 1: So God put her in a very distinguished warrior's house, captured.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I just think that's so powerful because at different times in our life we are captured.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Sometimes we're captured by our own selves, our wrong belief systems, our doubts, and I think there's nothing more terrible than to be in a relationship and be captured a marriage.
- 17:45Speaker 1: So I share those two women in the Bible as the foundation for the Second no More Collective.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Hey guys on the group nice to see you all here.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Group Nice to see you all here.
- 18:05Speaker 1: And the Stack no More podcast and the Stack no More boot camp.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And the Stack no More Academy.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Because it's like this you have a voice and you know you have a voice and you're ready to use that voice.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Or it's like this you're ready, you've had your identity jacked up, it's ready to get your identity right so new activity can come, so you can take your authority and now you believe it's the time to speak your voice, like a podcast.
- 18:36Speaker 1: So the Second no More Academy is all about the fact that God called me a voice.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Revivalist not the title isn't what it's about.
- 18:46Speaker 1: It's just like that's just chat.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Gpt said that and God said that's who you are.
- 18:50Speaker 1: So I feel like not a responsibility, but I feel like I have a desire that's been fueled by what God says to help you, especially if you're voiceless, when you get captured, when you're in debt.
- 19:02Speaker 1: So often you become voiceless.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'm sorry, been there, but to find your voice from your identity becomes the fuel for that new activity.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Where you start to find your voice, you start to stay in your own lane, you start to speak truth.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I've had people help me okay after the crash and I feel like it goes right along with my desire to help you find your voice from identity.
- 19:37Speaker 1: And then the second part share your voice.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Share your voice with a strategy.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I'm a part owner of a major marketing group that teaches people how to get leads, how to make copy, and I'm also with a system that's all in one system where you can do everything from one place funnels, crm.
- 20:03Speaker 1: So, sharing your voice.
- 20:05Speaker 1: I want you to be able to share your voice and not take you all day and then speak your voice.
- 20:11Speaker 1: The final piece Get your place where your voice and your identity is so strong and so sure.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Is it a podcast, or is it learning to speak to your stages on your social media, or is it to an actual stage?
- 20:28Speaker 1: I've done podcasting.
- 20:32Speaker 1: This is going into my sixth year.
- 20:33Speaker 1: I'm a certified speaker for on stage.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I absolutely love it on stage.
- 20:37Speaker 1: If I could just go on stage and make a living there all the time, I would.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Maybe I will someday.
- 20:43Speaker 1: But God told me don't you chase stages, let them chase you.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I'm just being personal here.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And then speak your voice.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So many do want to know how to make a podcast Back in the day.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, it took me so long to get an episode out.
- 20:59Speaker 1: I can remember being bent over and sometimes I'd go into my closet for the acoustics or to hide.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And now, with tools, ai tools, it's like, oh, okay, this, let me just do this, this and boom, it's up.
- 21:14Speaker 1: I'm serious Now.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Granted, you have to invest in the tools and know how to work them, but there's never been easier than today, with AI, to have a podcast.
- 21:26Speaker 1: So what about you?
- 21:27Speaker 1: You ready to use your voice to get out of debt?
- 21:30Speaker 1: Ready to just find your voice?
- 21:33Speaker 1: I mean, I just need to kind of make sure I got my voice right there.
- 21:36Speaker 1: You know that's okay.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a proponent of the right mindset, very big on neuropsycho.
- 21:45Speaker 1: With Dr Caroline Leaf, I have one of the best facilitators in the world under her.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It's the best thing that ever happened to me to learn, to have a mental tool.
- 21:57Speaker 1: I don't have to go run into her every day.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Now I have a mental tool that helps me when I have rough days and bad days or when my voice feels weak.
- 22:05Speaker 1: So this is for you.
- 22:09Speaker 1: The best place to start is just do like these people who've joined me down below on the Second no More Collective, it's free.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Look at my show notes if you're listening to this on the podcast, or I'll drop the link here.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Those of you who listen to me live and aren't a part of my little audience down here, and that's just a great place to start.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Another great place to start really is book a complimentary call with me.
- 22:36Speaker 1: We can talk about your voice, talk about your dreams, talk about the problems that are keeping you from getting your voice out, or we can talk.
- 22:44Speaker 1: It's just a 30-minute find your voice call.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Once again, I didn't put the link here.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Maybe I could in the show notes, but I mean I will in the show notes, but I didn't put them here.
- 22:56Speaker 1: On this live, most of the people who are with the collective.
- 23:00Speaker 1: They know where to find me to book.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Someone did.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Today I was really blessed to have another person to talk to.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I really love talking to people, so that's kind of fun.
- 23:12Speaker 1: But what it's all said and done is about you.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Is the weight weighing you down?
- 23:18Speaker 1: Can you be like the widow?
- 23:20Speaker 1: Notice he's a widow.
- 23:22Speaker 1: There's blessings that come to the widows, especially to those who help the widows.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Thank you for those who have blessed me as a widow and ask the question what do you have in your house?
- 23:33Speaker 1: Say, well, I do have a computer and I write real good or I have an instrument.
- 23:41Speaker 1: How can I create as God creates?
- 23:43Speaker 1: That's a challenge and I love to help people create the way God creates by finding their voice and then sharing their voice.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I don't like to go into real details about sharing your voice, because there's marketing, something I would get up two hours before I had to take the kids to school.
- 24:02Speaker 1: This was after I retired from radio and I started studying the basics of marketing.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I retired from radio and I started studying the basics of marketing, of setting up my website, html.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I didn't learn any code, but I was really diligent to try to learn.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Share your voice and then speak your voice.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Maybe I think there's so many of you who are called to look into the camera on your social media and speak for like two or three minutes.
- 24:28Speaker 1: You can do it with your knees knocking.
- 24:31Speaker 1: It gets easier as you do it.
- 24:34Speaker 1: But let me share some tips and tricks.
- 24:37Speaker 1: The number one trick that I can tell you don't look at yourself.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Look at that little tiny dot on your phone.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Okay, look at that tiny dot.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I'm looking for my phone, your phone Okay, look at that tiny dot.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I'm looking for my phone.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Look at that tiny dot and speak into it.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to be honest.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I use a light filter just to brighten up, so let's just do it.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Come on, let's you and me do it together.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to a real Okay, ready, okay, let's see what's up.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Here we go.

- 25:26Speaker 1: And I'm live or I'm with you.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Let's get it right, teresa See, okay, you just see the back camera that I'm not using, but we're talking about 2 Kings, chapter 4, of how the widow used her voice to get out of debt.
- 25:40Speaker 1: You're hearing it again.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Yeah, nice to see you too.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Okay, so it was done.
- 25:48Speaker 1: So now I'm going to go next and I'm going to work on that later.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Do you see how I just my part of life, I just there's no performance there.
- 25:59Speaker 1: I'm coming from this is the key.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I'm coming from the well of his presence.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Out of the well of being in the incubator of his presence.
- 26:05Speaker 1: You get words, you get comfort, you get inspiration.
- 26:09Speaker 1: You get comfort, you get inspiration, you get transformation where you can speak and help someone else.
- 26:14Speaker 1: You see, I think God put extra to what you think is normal so you can be an extraordinary solution to someone's pain point.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Who feels that way?
- 26:22Speaker 1: Grab that word.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Yeah, raise your hand, grab it.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Who feels like they have gone through the burner and they're coming out, but they want to make sure they come out and speak from their scars, not their wounds.
- 26:35Speaker 1: You're needed like ever before.
- 26:38Speaker 1: If you ever question I'm not sure what I'm meant to do, go back.
- 26:45Speaker 1: What did you like to do when you played?
- 26:46Speaker 1: I was blown away by Jessica Shakur when she was playing.
- 26:50Speaker 1: She was playing like she was a princess and writing like a princess.
- 26:54Speaker 1: She later got hired by Disney and became a princess.
- 26:57Speaker 1: That was lined in her very DNA.
- 27:01Speaker 1: For me it was climbing stairs as a seven-year-old looking out at a crowd as my imagination is big as Billy Graham and I'd preach.
- 27:09Speaker 1: I was Catholic but I'd preach.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I didn't want to be a priest, I just wanted to speak, seven years old.
- 27:17Speaker 1: And then later we moved and we had only two little steps.
- 27:20Speaker 1: So disgusted by those little steps, but I saw an apple cart over on the side so I got, I tipped it over lengthwise, got up on top of it.
- 27:31Speaker 1: It was a stage and I did preach to the birds, the bees and the apple trees.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Hey guys, you need Jesus Apple cart.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Did I say?
- 27:40Speaker 1: Threads, jessica, princess, disney Apple carts Since 2008,.
- 27:51Speaker 1: I've used an Apple product.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Now I've got an iMac, ipad, macbook Pro, iphone with filters.
- 27:59Speaker 1: It's like I've got that Apple card over there and he says, yeah, get on that Apple card, I'm going to show you something about Apple.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I'm not the brand, I'm just saying that's the brand I use Apple Card.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Fascinated with microphones too, I was 16 years old and I volunteered to be a reader at church because they had a microphone.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Who volunteers at mass to read?
- 28:25Speaker 1: I did.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Who volunteers at mass to read?
- 28:26Speaker 1: I did Microphones.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Later I was a professional golfer and there's no satellite radio at the time and I would make these tapes called the KYSS Tape Series.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Know yours, I'm on special and I'd make these when I came home, when I had stints at home.
- 28:44Speaker 1: I used a microphone, talked in between the songs and I'd hand them out to my friends.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Well, how did I get into a radio station?
- 28:51Speaker 1: I took one of those tapes as an audition.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I didn't read the ad that said I had to have two years experience.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I didn't read it, submitted that tape and for 15 and a half years I used my voice on the radio.
- 29:04Speaker 1: 15 and a half years I used my voice on the radio.
- 29:06Speaker 1: They had lots of microphones.
- 29:09Speaker 1: I'm just ending with some stories where.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Look back, if you really want to find your voice, you really want to begin this journey of having an impact, getting out of debt, come on, being able to save someone's life, even when you're captive by your words, being able to have such transformation that you truly speak to the person you once were.
- 29:29Speaker 1: It starts with finding your voice from your identity.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I used to tell my students read Ephesians 1 and 2 over and over and over.
- 29:41Speaker 1: And there's your identity, ephesians 1 and 2.
- 29:44Speaker 1: I would meet with them every other week and we'd talk about identity and find your voice.
- 29:53Speaker 1: So that's resurrected in the Second no More boot camp and the Second no More Academy.
- 29:59Speaker 1: I'm just here pouring some gut and streams of hope out to you because I really believe someone needs your voice.
- 30:10Speaker 1: If this blessed you and you want a free discovery call, go to the link either on these show notes or in the notes.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Here I'd love to talk about how you truly can find your voice, share your voice, can find your voice, share your voice and speak your voice.
