  Speaker 1: And welcome again to the Stack no More podcast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Teresa Croft, and did you read that title?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: A Step-by-Step Journey of Turning Cancer into Glory.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're saying.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about, t?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Well, this is part one of my journey, being intimately acquainted with cancer.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been anything new, but it is new because it's me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I dealt with cancer with my dad, dealt with cancer with my late husband and let me just say, right off with my journey here, I realize everyone has their journey.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm so proud of women who have really, really gone on and been the victor of breast cancer.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: But I thought I would share my journey of breast cancer.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But I thought I would share my journey.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So it all started me sharing was I'm going to just you on the podcast, won't get to see it, but you will see it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: This is me talking as I had to go back for a mammogram, a diagnosis of a mammogram.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: They found two things on both of my breasts and I was going in there for that and an ultrasound, and the thoughts and the feelings were deep and this is what I said and I said I'm marking it Day one of the journey, of a journey of this is just a diagnosis of ultrasound guided core biopsy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I ain't scared.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Throw your at me, devil, I ain't scared.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Throw your at me, devil, I ain't scared.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: This voice will continue.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about it as they told me I had to come back here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Our life is full of stories.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: How is this story going to go where I can give him glory from the story?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Ain't scared, ain't not scared, ain't not scared.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's a new T phrase.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So definitely there was some thoughts that day.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So this is what happened.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I was just going in there for a diagnosis again.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Then I went into an ultrasound and then I got the news and before I had even gone in, that was on my mind.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It was like is this going to be another story?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I have a story of pain and trauma.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't mean anymore.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, but I was willing to let God have his way.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So from the ultrasound I was miraculously someone canceled so I could go right into the biopsy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And I remember sitting or lying on that table for about an hour waiting for the biopsy.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But again I felt the Holy Spirit say I'm lying there, you know, in a hospital gown.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And I hear the Holy Spirit say I'm lying there, you know, in a hospital gown and I hear the Holy Spirit saying T are you going to let trust me if this is another story for my glory?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And so I had already made up my mind.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, god, yes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So the doctor came in and there was definitely something she had to do a biopsy on, had to get some tissue, and the weight was on.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Now she had told me I might get the news of if it's cancer or not first.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So I go off to South Carolina for a no more dry ground retreat held by Michelle Tufford, an amazing team.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It was just something that just happened to happen.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The retreat I was supposed to be at the retreat last year.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, here it is February and I'm at this retreat, and it was the very first day.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And right as Michelle was concluding her prayer, I noticed a MyChart.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So I opened up and read it and by the time she was done with her prayer I figured, oh, they are mentioning the C word.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I look up, lock eyes with Michelle and she comes straight to me, drops to her knees and all I could spit out was it's cancer.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: She said can I tell everyone?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So they rallied and they prayed, and after the last one was done praying, a woman sat down next to me on the other side and she had a grin on her face.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I said you've got something for me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So I showed her the diagnosis Get this.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: She was a OBGYN.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So she let me spill my emotions I't want chemotherapy, I don't want radiation, just blow the blow it up, she's.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Finally she says, listen, we could blow it off, not, you know, cut that thing out, or we could use a fly swatter.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So she kind of got me off, she we to talk to.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: She told me about it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They found it okay, it's not invasive.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So please hear my heart.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm coming with my emotions.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Just with the C word I realized it could be a lot worse.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But this is tea, I'm trying to deal with it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So what was really cool is she talked to me for a while, got me off the ledge.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So by the next day when my doctor called and the follow-ups that were to happen, I had been knocked.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I had been so told what it was that I could concentrate and really listen to what the doctor was saying.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And then she the other, the scheduling nurse, was on the line too, and then she said okay, I'm going to leave you with Molly.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So Molly was so cool.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I said I got a trip planned and you know I don't know when I have time for all this, but I know she gets cancer is never at a good time.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: She said one of the best things to me, though.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: She says T Teresa, she didn't know me as T live your life, go out and live your life.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Live your life, go out and live your life.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So I immediately was able to get an mri when I came back.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But before I tell you about coming back, this retreat we got these waves once again.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You guys can't see it if you're listening.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: We got this bracelet, which is funny because I lost my cross one and this is what it was said.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I got to get my glasses.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: For those of you watching, listen to this.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: This is the retreat I'm at.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I find out at the retreat.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Praise God, I wasn't by myself.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, my cat is great, but I was surrounded by people, by wonderful sisters in the Lord.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But I got this bracelet and I read it and I'm like wait a minute, michelle, have you planned this?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You knew I was going to get.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just teasing, but listen to this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It says life is not always going to be as you had planned.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Tides change and things go in different directions.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You can't stop the waves from happening, but you can learn to to move with them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They may not take you in the direction that you had planned, but they will take you exactly where you are meant to be, so go with the wave.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So it was really interesting.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, the gynecologist said you know, you could just hit it with a fly swatter.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: So at the last day I asked for prayer.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Every night these ladies got prayed on.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So I asked for prayers and tide think of tide.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And Michelle starts to pray for me, michelle Tufford, and she talks about flies.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They're just going to be out flicking.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: My wife flies.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking okay, okay.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So after she was done, I said I want you to know that it says about God is turning the tide, psalm 118 in the message and it talks about flies that you can flick them off.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Just flick them off like a fly.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So do you see how God's bringing me all around?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, all of a sudden, I'm intimately acquainted with cancer.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: What do I do with that?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So there's definitely emotional battles when you're facing something like this Memories of your dad having cancer.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Now, granted, they're all different cancers, but there's just some about the C word that I can't seem to shake.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But this is part one.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: So I had to go get an MRI and I got ready and the lady told me oh goodness, she told me it can take 30 minutes.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking 30 minutes.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me, I'm going to be inside that thing for 30 minutes.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So she moved me in and then she says what kind of music do you want to listen to?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I said Christian plays.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So she gets me in there and I'm waiting for the music.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Finally, the music starts to play.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The first one was very short because it was the end of a music.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It was a praise song.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And then the second song was the exact song I woke up at, o Dark 32.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The goodness of God, if I could sing, I would sing it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden it's just like the wave of the Holy Spirit flowed through me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You know all my life.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He is so faithful I can't sing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And it's just like, ah, I just felt his presence.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And then, okay, bear with me here.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: This is real to me.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It may sound corny to you.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And then, okay, bear with me here, this is real to me it may sound corny to you and then I felt like Jesus was touching me.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's nice, thank you Lord.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And then I felt like he sat on me.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I felt some pressure on my back and I felt, okay, you want to sit there?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's just fine.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And then the nurse said 15 more minutes to go.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, okay, that first 15 went pretty fast and I knew I was in case in this MRI machine.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking am I going to have claustrophobia?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just going to keep my eyes closed.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But I was on my belly so I couldn't see really where I was anyway.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And then, just as clear as touching Jesus, I heard a voice of a very dear friend of mine.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Clear as touching Jesus.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I heard a voice of a very dear friend of mine and she said keep running after the delight of Jesus.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Tea she always talks about encourages me that the delight of Jesus is your ceiling of your dreams.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So I heard this voice so clearly and I'm like I'm going to be okay, we're going to get through this.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And then she wheeled me out and I swear I heard.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I heard the angel singing hallelujah.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't, but I imagined it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The other stuff was real the touch of Jesus and the voice of my friend.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So this is part one, but I just want to share that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: God will always turn the tide.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm putting up the card.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I've got my little wave necklace.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'll probably be wearing that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But what happens when life, alternating diagnosis, shakes your world?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That video you heard.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: In the beginning I didn't make a lot of sense because I didn't know I had cancer.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But the Holy Spirit had almost prepared me by asking me are you willing to make this a glory story?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Because I have a story.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have a story of surviving trauma.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You know, 26 years of emotional and abuse.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That was my story.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You want to know something really interesting.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: January 2nd of this year, before the cancer, before all this, I had two prophetic words spoken over me and the first one was so powerful.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: On my way back from South Carolina, god said you need to listen to that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I said I don't want to listen to it and I know the Holy Spirit's voice.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, I'll listen to it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: So the first part of it was like oh, this is so good.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And then I remember the lady who gave me the second part.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: She like got right in my face.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: She was next to me.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: She got right in my face and she kept saying God is writing a new story.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You have a story from the past, but she kept saying a new story, a new story.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And then she I didn't take this bad, so don't.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think she meant anything by it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But then she said a scorpion has tried to attack your body, but you're walking in a new story, a new story.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Now, when I heard the scorpion word, I don't think prophetic is negative.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But now, almost two and a half months, or two, almost two months later, I'm hearing this and I'm hearing what God said.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Do you see?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I'm putting the two together.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: That was a prophetic word.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I don't remember it, but I recorded it and then I had it transcribed.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So I'm listening to it and then I'm reading it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Wow, I think that God so understands when we're intimately acquainted with things that could hurt us, take us out for the count or even just be very painful, like you're, in a situation that the waves are coming against you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I remember a long time ago I was at a singles retreat and feeling the sense of being lonely, and I'll never forget it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I went out into the ocean and a wave took me down for the count.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I no sooner got up with sand spitting out of my mouth.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Boom, I got hit again and it hurt.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I always remember that because it was that particular time that God spoke to me through Isaiah 54.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So that was a rough time not life-threatening single for a long time.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And then years later, for a long time, and then years later, this is happening.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Do I have a verse right now?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Not really, I have lots of verses of him speaking to me, but that song means so much to me.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's the goodness of God, sung by Cece Winans.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It's also sung by Bethel.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Sung by Cece Winans.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It's also sung by Bethel.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And I can remember the last few years of my marriage.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That was my song.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I would take a shower and I'd crank that thing up and I'd play it over and over.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That was 2021.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Now we're at 2025.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That song returns through the voice of Cece Winans saying the faithfulness of God.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I think I can play that song.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be copyrights situation, but it's like this how do you, how do you go through this?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I think it is?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I always ask God how did I survive those years of trauma and that's how I'm going to survive this.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: God said you survive by planning yourself face to face, facetime with me, even though you didn't know what was going on and you were struggling, you had emotional and you had anxiety and I would speak to you.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I speak to you in the voice of the vine dresser back then.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And so he said you were fighting for your voice and were able to fight for your voice in the midst of cacophony of what was going on with your marriage, by creating the way God creates.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: He would speak to me and I'd write them out.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: That wasn't the words of religion, it was the words of the vine dresser, it was the words of the father.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Before I found out this diagnosis, I was challenged.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: This is creating the way God creates, diagnosis.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I was challenged this is creating the way God creates.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I was challenged at this retreat in January not the one with, just with Michelle.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of challenges in that January retreat, okay.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So I was challenged one of the last days by my friend Natalie.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: She says T, she said one.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: She said you got the fire of Lou Angle.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You know I was rocking back and forth.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's where that got.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But she said I think God wants you to pray in the Holy Spirit and then write out what he said.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So for the past, since January 5th, I've been doing that Writing, praying the Holy Spirit and writing what he said.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Now have I done much of that, since the C word, the diagnosis Not a lot, but do you see, that's creating the way God creates.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So as I go on to part two with the surgeon and the news of what's going to happen, I think it's something I hang on to, that you can hang on to.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: God will turn the tide.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Check out Psalm 118 in the message and the flies the devil, they're just flies.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You get to flick them off.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And number one is how to stand on God's promises.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Through the diagnosis, through the marriage, through the struggles, how do you hold on to what he's saying?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: God's promises are yes and amen.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So you hang on to those promises.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I love the promise of hanging on to them in Sarah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: She was, her husband, was promised to have as many children as the sand on the sea, and she was barren, but somewhere after laughing.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: In Hebrews 11, verse 11, in the Passion it says this Sarah embraced God's miracle-working power even though she was past the age of childbearing, but her faith rested on the authority of the one who made the promise and she tapped into his faithfulness.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: It's my rest to run verse, so can I take that promise of?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Sarah had a promise, so resting this is for you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Can you rest in the authority of the one who promised to you?
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: What has he promised to you?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a child, maybe it's a marriage restored, maybe it's getting out of debt.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: What is taking you down for the count?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: The wave has hit you, but you come back up and you're spitting sand and it hits you again, but you rise.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Come on, you rise again.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You can stand on God's promises.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: This is like a mindset shift when you walk in faith.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Guess what happens?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You get resilience and then the faith can shift for the breakthrough.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: The breakthrough can happen to you and a lot of times it's not about you.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: The breakthrough is for other people.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So it's more than a survival story and, like I said, they've caught it early.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord they got it early.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: We're not going to do the canon, I don't think.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to do a fly swatter as I, in my mind, flick the flies of the enemy.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: So listen, listen.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sharing my story and I don't have a problem in doing it, because when I was laid out on that biopsy table and God asked me, can you share the gory story that I will make into a glory story?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I said you know, I just surrendered.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I said yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I shared it a little bit on Instagram, facebook.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I shared it with a group of women.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I had to battle those four days of that retreat at different times.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I was so glad Michelle made it real relaxed.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: We had a teaching in the morning.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I think I took a nap almost every day.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: The last day you know what I did?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I took a nap, but I laid down in the couch where I could hear the sound of family, the sound of sisters.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I can sleep through anything.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I thought, no, I don't want to go be by myself right now.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I need to be surrounded by my sisters and take a nap.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: And then you find out who your true inner circle friends are, who continue to speak faith on you, continue to be by your side, be your defenders.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So God had me in a place where I'm not facing this alone.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: If I hadn't found, if God hadn't brought me, a few really close friends, I would be facing it alone Me and my cat.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Cat's great, but Jesus with skin on is better.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So this is part one, to share your story with me.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and write it right here, because as I go into part two, I'm going to be real and authentic as I can be.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Only Jesus can make me here, looking into this camera, talking into this microphone, and say there is hope for you.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You may not be battling the C word, but maybe it's the D word.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: You're facing a divorce, or maybe it's just drugs and alcohol and you just want to get free.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Divorce, or maybe it's just drugs and alcohol and you just want to get free.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, everyone's got a story.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: But I think the key, what I'm trying to sum up to say, when you allow God to be a part of your story and when you find that out of the overflow of your relationship with God is really the only place to speak, like I had to make sure my my past that I wasn't speaking out of the pain and the misery, that I was speaking from my scars because I had 26 years of that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I am making sure, as I talk to you, I'm not speaking from the woe is me and this fear speaking from the woe is me and this fear I, I, even now I feel God put scars on my heart of protection to give me the peace to start praying in the spirit and write out what he says.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's amazing what he says Sometimes, like did you really say that?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Is that you Okay?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I kind of said that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that's my way, that's what God has called me to go through this right away, I'm, I'm, I'm talking to you about it, I'm taking you along.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: The MRI was just this morning of this date, of this recording.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to launch the Steck no More Academy next week, but am I going to let that deter me?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Am I going to let that?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't launch that?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to let that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: That'll be a connection point.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to let that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: That'll be a connection point.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, the Academy is about helping people just like you, faith-driven, purpose-driven voices, to create a podcast or to speak on stage, social stages, and I do this through the Stuck no More method, which is based on biblical principles, okay.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Which is based on biblical principles, okay, that help you beat the barriers so you can speak and grow your business, grow your ministry, grow your product online with a podcast or on stages.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I kick that off Monday.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That's okay, and even in the midst of it I just have more stuff to talk about.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But it is about your voice coming from the overflow of your relationship with God.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It's really exciting.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So I guess in a way, I'm on my podcast, okay, and I'm speaking from the overflow of what God has already spoken to me.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I think the prayers of dear friends at no Longer Dry Ground ground retreat definitely is a part of my story.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: The way a few friends are just rallying to me, that's part of my story and I want to be able to say, hey, that's coming all from my relationship with God and you can speak from your relationship with God out of the overflow.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: No more dry ground is out of the overflow, so I'll continue to run to him and you may not have cancer, but I pray something will come out of this story that might hit you in your situation.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I think you got a story and you listen to this.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Some people think I don't have a story.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I don't have any gory story.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You still have a story because you have a relationship with God.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: If you do have a gory story that God is turning the tide.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Go with the waves, but let God turn the tide for you.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: So, more than a survival episode, part one, but really a divine victory story, no matter what.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It'll be a divine victory story Because, jesus, he told me quite a few years ago.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, it's not just enough to.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: This is when I was in my marriage.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It's not just enough to survive these waves.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: He said, Dee, I'm going to teach you to surf the waves.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And he asked so let's surf the waves together, so I'll talk to you in the next episode.
• 24:36
