- 0:00Speaker 1: It's actually a very fun place to hang out. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:05Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts to choose from. If you want to
- 0:08Speaker 1: play around with music history, we've got that for you.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Music's lost history. Let's see if you can name the
- 0:14Speaker 1: artist or the song before we share it with you.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Have fun getting engaged. It takes your mind off the
- 0:20Speaker 1: rest of the world. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey,
- 0:26Speaker 1: it's me, the question guy, you know, the dude that's
- 0:29Speaker 1: always asking questions because it's really fun to do the
- 0:31Speaker 1: research for answers, such as what do the preacher people
- 0:35Speaker 1: mean when they say to see what God does moving
- 0:38Speaker 1: through you? Plus, is there a difference between being in
- 0:42Speaker 1: a funk versus falling into a depression? My name is Arrow.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
- 0:49Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I happen to call it the daily mess because it's
- 0:54Speaker 1: a chronological walk through an everyday world. It is my
- 0:58Speaker 1: daily writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we
- 1:01Speaker 1: as people tend to throw things to the side because
- 1:04Speaker 1: we think we're going to deal with it later on.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Not unless you write it down and you come back
- 1:09Speaker 1: to it. It's okay to do that. When a subject
- 1:12Speaker 1: arrives inside of me, dude, it is time to dig in.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
- 1:19Speaker 1: the picture is going to become clearer. This is the
- 1:22Speaker 1: daily mess. What does it mean when the preacher people
- 1:26Speaker 1: make this claim? To see what God does moving through you.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Does that mean that God only moves in moments? First,
- 1:35Speaker 1: when someone speaks of God moving through you, it means
- 1:38Speaker 1: don't limit your life to what you think you can accomplish.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Here's what it doesn't necessarily mean. God performs miracles through you.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Hold on. Don't react. God can do things moving through you.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Your words can help another person heal. Through expression, you
- 1:55Speaker 1: can avoid mistakes. Through creativity, you can inspire. Oh wait,
- 2:01Speaker 1: what can God do moving through you? You could actually
- 2:04Speaker 1: move through others by way of kindness, that which changes
- 2:07Speaker 1: a person's day. Here's a very important note. Moving through
- 2:12Speaker 1: you isn't the same as because of you. The emphasis
- 2:16Speaker 1: is on humility. You aren't saying, hey, look at me,
- 2:20Speaker 1: look at what I've accomplished. The real message here is
- 2:23Speaker 1: making yourself available so something can move through you. But
- 2:28Speaker 1: what about God moving through you by way of moments? Absolutely. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
- 2:33Speaker 1: So true. The most ordinary things happen in that moment,
- 2:38Speaker 1: and it may not come across as supernatural. Hmm. How
- 2:43Speaker 1: then is God moving through you and you and you
- 2:46Speaker 1: and you and you in an ordinary way? And it's
- 2:50Speaker 1: not just an extra ordinary way. That's between you and
- 2:55Speaker 1: the great creator. Hey, coming up next, is there a
- 2:58Speaker 1: difference between being in a funk versus a full-out depression? Hey,
- 3:05Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. Is there
- 3:08Speaker 1: a difference between being in one of those world famous
- 3:11Speaker 1: funks versus facing a wall of depression? Kind of sounds
- 3:16Speaker 1: the same, doesn't it? But it's not. Being in a
- 3:20Speaker 1: funk is temporary. You feel unmotivated, irritable, discouraged or even bored.
- 3:26Speaker 1: But there's still moments that actually lift you. A wall
- 3:29Speaker 1: of depression feels so much heavier and more persistent. It's
- 3:33Speaker 1: that feeling of, oh my God, I can't get through this.
- 3:37Speaker 1: In brief, the funk is, oh, I'm not feeling it
- 3:41Speaker 1: right now. Depression is, oh, I feel it and I
- 3:44Speaker 1: can't move. So let's be clear about one thing. Depression
- 3:48Speaker 1: isn't always about sadness. It can be numbness, exhaustion. It
- 3:52Speaker 1: can be a flat out losing of interest. If you
- 3:55Speaker 1: truly are feeling the effects of a wall of depression, Never, never,
- 3:59Speaker 1: never set aside the professionals who are waiting to help
- 4:02Speaker 1: lift you up. If it's a funk that's in your way,
- 4:06Speaker 1: let it take you a little bit further into the
- 4:08Speaker 1: way of asking the question, what the heck is wrong
- 4:11Speaker 1: with my funk? Funk can be burnout. Is your funk
- 4:15Speaker 1: connected to grief? Just know it's just a temporary funk
- 4:20Speaker 1: because funk moves in moments and movements. Feeling funky in
- 4:25Speaker 1: the morning doesn't mean you're going to feel funky in
- 4:28Speaker 1: the afternoon. The question you need to be asking yourself
- 4:31Speaker 1: is when something good is happening, can I still feel
- 4:35Speaker 1: it or am I in a funk or is this
- 4:40Speaker 1: a depression? Know the difference between being in a funk
- 4:44Speaker 1: and and facing that wall of depression. And always know
- 4:48Speaker 1: there are professionals ready to help you at any given moment.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
