  How
• 0:37
  long
• 0:37
  does
• 0:38
  it
• 0:38
  really
• 0:38
  take
• 0:38
  for
• 0:39
  a
• 0:39
  stable
• 0:39
  life
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  unravel?
• 0:41
  That's
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  tough
• 0:42
  question,
• 0:42
  isn't
• 0:43
  it?
• 0:44
  On
• 0:44
  this
• 0:44
  episode,
• 0:45
  I
• 0:45
  want
• 0:45
  to
• 0:45
  talk
• 0:45
  about
• 0:45
  a
• 0:46
  question
• 0:46
  that
• 0:46
  hits
• 0:46
  deeper
• 0:47
  than
• 0:47
  money.
• 0:48
  A
• 0:48
  listener
• 0:49
  recently
• 0:49
  met
• 0:49
  a
• 0:50
  woman
• 0:50
  who's
• 0:50
  still
• 0:50
  trying
• 0:51
  to
• 0:51
  recover
• 0:51
  financially
• 0:52
  from
• 0:52
  the
• 0:53
  2008
• 0:53
  recession.
• 0:55
  Nearly
• 0:56
  two
• 0:56
  decades
• 0:57
  later,
• 0:58
  and
• 0:58
  she's
• 0:58
  still
• 0:58
  rebuilding.
• 1:00
  And
• 1:00
  hearing
• 1:00
  that
• 1:01
  particular
• 1:01
  story
• 1:01
  shook
• 1:02
  this
• 1:02
  listener
• 1:04
  because
• 1:04
  this
• 1:04
  woman
• 1:04
  once
• 1:05
  had
• 1:05
  what
• 1:05
  looked
• 1:05
  like
• 1:05
  a
• 1:06
  normal
• 1:06
  life.
• 1:07
  She
• 1:08
  had
• 1:08
  a
• 1:08
  career,
• 1:09
  a
• 1:09
  home,
• 1:11
  stability.
• 1:13
  And
• 1:13
  then
• 1:13
  one
• 1:13
  hard
• 1:14
  season
• 1:15
  turned
• 1:15
  into
• 1:16
  years
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  survival.
• 1:18
  And
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  raised
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  really
• 1:19
  uncomfortable
• 1:20
  question.
• 1:22
  If
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  life
• 1:23
  can
• 1:23
  change
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  fast
• 1:24
  for
• 1:24
  someone
• 1:24
  else,
• 1:26
  how
• 1:26
  do
• 1:26
  I
• 1:27
  prepare
• 1:27
  wisely
• 1:27
  without
• 1:28
  becoming
• 1:28
  afraid
• 1:29
  all
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  time?
• 1:30
  That's
• 1:31
  what
• 1:31
  we're
• 1:31
  breaking
• 1:31
  down
• 1:31
  on
• 1:32
  today's
• 1:32
  show.

  And

  today
• 2:01
  on
• 2:01
  the
• 2:02
  show,
• 2:02
  we're
• 2:02
  talking
• 2:02
  about
• 2:02
  how
• 2:02
  to
• 2:03
  prepare
• 2:03
  for
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  future
• 2:04
  without
• 2:04
  constantly
• 2:05
  living
• 2:05
  in
• 2:06
  fear
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  losing
• 2:07
  everything.
• 2:08
  And
• 2:08
  we
• 2:09
  got
• 2:09
  this
• 2:09
  voicemail
• 2:09
  question.
• 2:10
  When
• 2:10
  I
• 2:10
  heard
• 2:10
  this,
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  said,
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  listeners
• 2:12
  got
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  hear
• 2:12
  this.
• 2:12
  Let's
• 2:13
  jump
• 2:13
  right
• 2:13
  into
• 2:13
  it.
• 2:14
  Hey,
• 2:14
  Ralph,
• 2:15
  my
• 2:15
  name
• 2:15
  is
• 2:15
  Ricky.
• 2:16
  Wanted
• 2:17
  to
• 2:17
  share
• 2:17
  you
• 2:17
  something
• 2:17
  that's
• 2:18
  been
• 2:18
  on
• 2:18
  my
• 2:18
  mind.
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  met
• 2:20
  someone
• 2:20
  recently
• 2:20
  who's
• 2:21
  been
• 2:21
  financially
• 2:21
  struggling
• 2:22
  since
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  2008
• 2:23
  recession.
• 2:23
  And
• 2:24
  honestly,
• 2:24
  it
• 2:24
  shook
• 2:24
  me.
• 2:26
  She
• 2:26
  used
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  have
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  stable
• 2:27
  career,
• 2:27
  a
• 2:28
  home,
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  what
• 2:29
  sounded
• 2:29
  like
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  normal
• 2:30
  middle
• 2:30
  class
• 2:30
  life.
• 2:32
  Then
• 2:32
  one
• 2:32
  crisis
• 2:33
  led
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  another
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  nearly
• 2:34
  two
• 2:34
  decades
• 2:35
  later,
• 2:35
  she's
• 2:36
  still
• 2:36
  trying
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  recover.
• 2:38
  Hearing
• 2:38
  how
• 2:38
  quickly
• 2:39
  everything
• 2:39
  unraveled
• 2:40
  made
• 2:40
  me
• 2:40
  realize
• 2:41
  how
• 2:41
  fragile
• 2:41
  stability
• 2:42
  can
• 2:42
  be.
• 2:43
  I
• 2:44
  think
• 2:44
  part
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  what
• 2:45
  unsettled
• 2:45
  me
• 2:45
  most
• 2:46
  was
• 2:46
  realizing
• 2:46
  how
• 2:47
  many
• 2:47
  people
• 2:47
  are
• 2:47
  carrying
• 2:48
  stories
• 2:48
  like
• 2:48
  this
• 2:48
  quietly.
• 2:50
  It
• 2:50
  made
• 2:50
  me
• 2:51
  wonder
• 2:51
  how
• 2:51
  close
• 2:51
  any
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  us
• 2:52
  really
• 2:52
  are
• 2:52
  to
• 2:53
  life
• 2:53
  completely
• 2:53
  changing.
• 2:55
  How
• 2:55
  do
• 2:55
  you
• 2:55
  live
• 2:56
  wisely
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  prepare
• 2:57
  for
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  future
• 2:57
  without
• 2:57
  becoming
• 2:58
  consumed
• 2:58
  by
• 2:59
  fear
• 2:59
  that
• 2:59
  one
• 2:59
  bad
• 3:00
  season
• 3:00
  could
• 3:00
  undo
• 3:01
  everything?
• 3:03
  Well,
• 3:03
  Ricky,
• 3:03
  let
• 3:04
  me
• 3:04
  say
• 3:04
  this.
• 3:04
  Thank
• 3:04
  you
• 3:05
  so
• 3:05
  much
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  sharing
• 3:06
  that
• 3:06
  question.
• 3:07
  It's
• 3:08
  one
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  those
• 3:08
  things
• 3:08
  that
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  think
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  lot
• 3:09
  of
• 3:10
  people
• 3:10
  deal
• 3:10
  with.
• 3:10
  We
• 3:10
  see
• 3:11
  people
• 3:11
  around
• 3:11
  us
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  we
• 3:12
  wonder,
• 3:12
  could
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  happen
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  us?
• 3:15
  And
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  want
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  start
• 3:16
  with
• 3:16
  today's
• 3:16
  big
• 3:17
  idea.
• 3:18
  Wisdom
• 3:19
  prepares
• 3:19
  for
• 3:19
  hard
• 3:20
  seasons.
• 3:21
  That's
• 3:21
  what
• 3:22
  wisdom
• 3:22
  does.
• 3:22
  Wisdom
• 3:23
  allows
• 3:23
  us
• 3:23
  to
• 3:24
  prepare
• 3:24
  for
• 3:24
  those
• 3:24
  hard
• 3:24
  seasons.
• 3:25
  But
• 3:25
  fear
• 3:26
  tries
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  make
• 3:26
  you
• 3:27
  live
• 3:27
  in
• 3:27
  them
• 3:27
  before
• 3:27
  they
• 3:28
  arrive.
• 3:29
  So
• 3:30
  how
• 3:30
  do
• 3:30
  we
• 3:30
  keep
• 3:30
  ourselves
• 3:31
  from
• 3:31
  living
• 3:32
  in
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  fear?
• 3:33
  The
• 3:34
  first
• 3:34
  thing
• 3:34
  I'm
• 3:34
  going
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  encourage
• 3:34
  you
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  say,
• 3:36
  let
• 3:36
  difficult
• 3:36
  stories
• 3:37
  teach
• 3:37
  you
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  not
• 3:38
  terrorize
• 3:39
  you.
• 3:40
  The
• 3:40
  story
• 3:40
  that
• 3:40
  you
• 3:41
  share
• 3:41
  today
• 3:42
  can
• 3:43
  wake
• 3:43
  us
• 3:43
  up
• 3:43
  in
• 3:44
  a
• 3:44
  healthy
• 3:44
  way
• 3:44
  if
• 3:44
  we
• 3:44
  think
• 3:45
  about
• 3:45
  it.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:46
  that's
• 3:46
  what
• 3:46
  we
• 3:47
  really
• 3:47
  need
• 3:47
  to
• 3:47
  lean
• 3:47
  on
• 3:47
  today.
• 3:48
  What
• 3:48
  are
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  things
• 3:48
  we
• 3:49
  can
• 3:49
  learn
• 3:49
  from
• 3:49
  this?
• 3:51
  What
• 3:51
  are
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  things
• 3:51
  that
• 3:52
  it
• 3:52
  can
• 3:52
  remind
• 3:52
  us
• 3:53
  of?
• 3:54
  It
• 3:54
  can
• 3:54
  remind
• 3:54
  all
• 3:54
  of
• 3:55
  us
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  financial
• 3:55
  hardship
• 3:56
  is
• 3:56
  real.
• 3:58
  What
• 3:58
  this
• 3:58
  lady
• 3:58
  is
• 3:59
  going
• 3:59
  through
• 3:59
  is
• 3:59
  real.
• 4:00
  She
• 4:00
  had
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  house,
• 4:01
  she
• 4:01
  had
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  career,
• 4:03
  she
• 4:03
  had
• 4:03
  that
• 4:03
  stability.
• 4:05
  But
• 4:05
  then
• 4:05
  something
• 4:06
  happened.
• 4:06
  The
• 4:06
  2008
• 4:07
  recession
• 4:07
  hurt
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  lot
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  people.
• 4:10
  Now
• 4:10
  if
• 4:10
  we're
• 4:10
  not
• 4:10
  careful,
• 4:11
  it
• 4:11
  can
• 4:11
  push
• 4:12
  us
• 4:12
  into
• 4:12
  fear
• 4:12
  if
• 4:13
  we
• 4:13
  don't
• 4:13
  process
• 4:13
  those
• 4:14
  things
• 4:14
  wisely.
• 4:16
  Now,
• 4:16
  I
• 4:16
  don't
• 4:16
  know
• 4:16
  what
• 4:17
  surrounded
• 4:17
  this.
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  don't
• 4:18
  know
• 4:18
  what
• 4:18
  kind
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  career
• 4:19
  she
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  in.
• 4:19
  I
• 4:19
  don't
• 4:20
  know
• 4:20
  if
• 4:20
  she
• 4:20
  was
• 4:20
  living
• 4:20
  well
• 4:21
  beyond
• 4:21
  her
• 4:21
  means.
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  don't
• 4:22
  know
• 4:22
  what
• 4:22
  her
• 4:22
  margins
• 4:23
  were.
• 4:24
  But
• 4:24
  we
• 4:24
  got
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  learn
• 4:25
  from
• 4:25
  what
• 4:25
  happened.
• 4:27
  We
• 4:27
  can't
• 4:27
  start
• 4:28
  mentally
• 4:28
  rehearsing
• 4:29
  disaster
• 4:29
  every
• 4:30
  day
• 4:30
  in
• 4:30
  our
• 4:30
  lives.
• 4:32
  There's
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  difference
• 4:33
  between
• 4:33
  awareness
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  alarm.
• 4:36
  Awareness
• 4:36
  says
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  us,
• 4:37
  hey,
• 4:37
  this
• 4:38
  could
• 4:38
  happen.
• 4:40
  What
• 4:40
  can
• 4:40
  we
• 4:40
  do
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  prevent
• 4:41
  it?
• 4:43
  Alarm
• 4:43
  makes
• 4:43
  us
• 4:43
  go
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  fear.
• 4:44
  And
• 4:44
  what
• 4:44
  problem
• 4:45
  is
• 4:45
  when
• 4:45
  fear
• 4:45
  takes
• 4:46
  over,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  don't
• 4:48
  become
• 4:48
  wiser,
• 4:49
  you
• 4:50
  just
• 4:50
  become
• 4:50
  more
• 4:50
  exhausted.
• 4:52
  So
• 4:53
  how
• 4:53
  do
• 4:53
  we
• 4:53
  prevent
• 4:53
  that?
• 4:55
  Here's
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  thing
• 4:55
  I'm
• 4:55
  going
• 4:55
  to
• 4:56
  start
• 4:56
  with.
• 4:57
  You
• 4:57
  got
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  build
• 4:57
  stability
• 4:58
  one
• 4:58
  layer
• 4:59
  at
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  time.
• 5:00
  If
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  caught
• 5:01
  yesterday's
• 5:01
  show,
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  talked
• 5:02
  about
• 5:02
  this,
• 5:02
  you're
• 5:02
  not
• 5:02
  going
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  solve
• 5:03
  everything
• 5:03
  today.
• 5:05
  Don't
• 5:05
  try
• 5:05
  to
• 5:06
  solve
• 5:06
  every
• 5:06
  possible
• 5:07
  risk
• 5:07
  at
• 5:07
  once.
• 5:09
  If
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  listen
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  my
• 5:10
  show,
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  know,
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  always
• 5:11
  say
• 5:11
  start
• 5:12
  with
• 5:12
  that
• 5:12
  next
• 5:12
  faithful
• 5:13
  step.
• 5:14
  Things
• 5:14
  like
• 5:15
  an
• 5:15
  emergency
• 5:15
  savings
• 5:16
  plan,
• 5:17
  reducing
• 5:18
  your
• 5:18
  debt,
• 5:19
  making
• 5:19
  sure
• 5:19
  you've
• 5:19
  got
• 5:20
  proper
• 5:20
  insurance,
• 5:21
  building
• 5:22
  those
• 5:22
  usable
• 5:23
  skills,
• 5:24
  building
• 5:25
  those
• 5:25
  strong
• 5:25
  relationships
• 5:26
  and
• 5:26
  healthy
• 5:27
  community
• 5:27
  people
• 5:27
  that
• 5:28
  you
• 5:28
  can
• 5:28
  go
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  when
• 5:28
  you're
• 5:29
  struggling,
• 5:30
  building
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  resilience,
• 5:32
  building
• 5:32
  that
• 5:32
  armor.
• 5:33
  They
• 5:33
  talk
• 5:33
  about
• 5:33
  putting
• 5:33
  on
• 5:33
  the
• 5:34
  full
• 5:34
  armor
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  God
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  isn't
• 5:35
  built
• 5:36
  in
• 5:36
  one
• 5:36
  big
• 5:36
  move.
• 5:38
  It's
• 5:38
  built
• 5:39
  through
• 5:39
  small
• 5:39
  acts
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  stewardship
• 5:40
  over
• 5:41
  time.
• 5:42
  Just
• 5:42
  think
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  piece
• 5:43
  like
• 5:43
  an
• 5:43
  onion
• 5:44
  just
• 5:44
  cut,
• 5:45
  you
• 5:45
  know,
• 5:45
  one
• 5:45
  layer
• 5:46
  at
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  time.
• 5:47
  I'll
• 5:48
  give
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  some
• 5:48
  great
• 5:48
  examples
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  that.
• 5:50
  Saving
• 5:50
  that
• 5:50
  first
• 5:51
  $500
• 5:52
  or
• 5:52
  that
• 5:52
  first
• 5:53
  thousand
• 5:53
  dollar
• 5:53
  emergency
• 5:54
  cushion.
• 5:55
  You're
• 5:55
  not
• 5:55
  going
• 5:55
  to
• 5:56
  do
• 5:56
  it
• 5:56
  all
• 5:56
  today,
• 5:57
  but
• 5:57
  you
• 5:58
  can
• 5:58
  get
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  that
• 5:58
  point.
• 5:59
  We
• 6:00
  talked
• 6:00
  on
• 6:00
  this
• 6:00
  show
• 6:00
  before
• 6:01
  about
• 6:01
  renewing
• 6:01
  your
• 6:02
  reviewing
• 6:02
  your
• 6:03
  insurance
• 6:03
  deductibles
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  making
• 6:04
  sure
• 6:04
  you've
• 6:05
  got
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  correct
• 6:05
  coverage.
• 6:07
  You
• 6:07
  mentioned
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  her
• 6:08
  career
• 6:08
  had
• 6:08
  an
• 6:08
  issue.
• 6:09
  So
• 6:09
  maybe
• 6:09
  you
• 6:10
  need
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  update
• 6:10
  your
• 6:11
  resume,
• 6:12
  always
• 6:12
  be
• 6:12
  on
• 6:13
  top
• 6:13
  of
• 6:13
  that.
• 6:14
  Maybe
• 6:15
  find
• 6:15
  that
• 6:16
  expense
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  keeps
• 6:17
  recurring
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  finding
• 6:18
  out
• 6:18
  ways
• 6:18
  to
• 6:19
  save
• 6:19
  money.
• 6:20
  And
• 6:20
  like
• 6:20
  I
• 6:21
  said
• 6:21
  earlier,
• 6:21
  building
• 6:21
  that
• 6:22
  strong
• 6:22
  support
• 6:22
  system
• 6:23
  instead
• 6:23
  of
• 6:24
  trying
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  carry
• 6:25
  everything
• 6:25
  alone.
• 6:28
  But
• 6:28
  even
• 6:28
  when
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  build
• 6:29
  those
• 6:29
  layers,
• 6:30
  there's
• 6:31
  something
• 6:31
  else
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  got
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  accept.
• 6:34
  You
• 6:34
  got
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  stop
• 6:35
  expecting
• 6:35
  absolute
• 6:36
  security
• 6:36
  from
• 6:37
  money.
• 6:39
  This
• 6:39
  is
• 6:39
  one
• 6:39
  of
• 6:39
  the
• 6:40
  hardest
• 6:40
  truths
• 6:40
  in
• 6:40
  personal
• 6:41
  finance.
• 6:42
  So
• 6:43
  many
• 6:43
  people
• 6:43
  think,
• 6:43
  well,
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  know,
• 6:44
  if
• 6:44
  I
• 6:45
  get
• 6:45
  so
• 6:45
  much
• 6:45
  money,
• 6:46
  I'll
• 6:46
  have
• 6:46
  security,
• 6:48
  friend.
• 6:48
  There
• 6:49
  is
• 6:49
  no
• 6:49
  plan
• 6:50
  on
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  planet
• 6:51
  that
• 6:51
  removes
• 6:51
  all
• 6:51
  risk.
• 6:53
  There
• 6:53
  just
• 6:53
  isn't.
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  don't
• 6:54
  have
• 6:54
  any
• 6:55
  magic,
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  don't
• 6:56
  have
• 6:56
  any
• 6:56
  simple
• 6:56
  solution
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  do
• 6:57
  this.
• 6:57
  There
• 6:57
  is
• 6:58
  no
• 6:58
  plan
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  remove
• 6:59
  all
• 7:00
  risk.
• 7:00
  There
• 7:01
  is
• 7:01
  no
• 7:01
  income
• 7:02
  level
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  guarantees
• 7:03
  permanent
• 7:04
  stability.
• 7:05
  There
• 7:05
  are
• 7:05
  people
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  are
• 7:06
  making
• 7:06
  millions
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  dollars
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  get
• 7:07
  wiped
• 7:08
  out
• 7:08
  in
• 7:08
  an
• 7:08
  instant.
• 7:10
  There's
• 7:10
  no
• 7:10
  certain
• 7:11
  amount
• 7:11
  that
• 7:11
  works
• 7:11
  at
• 7:12
  that.
• 7:12
  There's
• 7:13
  no
• 7:13
  amount
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  preparation
• 7:14
  that
• 7:14
  gives
• 7:14
  you
• 7:15
  total
• 7:15
  control.
• 7:17
  Things
• 7:17
  happen
• 7:17
  beyond
• 7:18
  your
• 7:18
  control.
• 7:19
  But
• 7:20
  financial
• 7:20
  maturity,
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  that's
• 7:21
  what
• 7:21
  we
• 7:21
  need
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  be
• 7:21
  striving
• 7:22
  towards,
• 7:23
  financial
• 7:24
  maturity
• 7:25
  means
• 7:25
  preparing
• 7:25
  wisely
• 7:26
  without
• 7:26
  pretending
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  can
• 7:27
  control
• 7:27
  everything.
• 7:28
  Because
• 7:28
  listen
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  me,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  can't
• 7:30
  control
• 7:31
  everything.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:33
  your
• 7:33
  peace
• 7:34
  can't
• 7:34
  come
• 7:34
  from
• 7:34
  this
• 7:35
  illusion
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  total
• 7:36
  control.
• 7:38
  Peace
• 7:38
  comes
• 7:39
  from
• 7:39
  stewardship
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  from
• 7:40
  trust.
• 7:43
  Prayer
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  planning
• 7:44
  belong
• 7:45
  together.
• 7:48
  Financial
• 7:48
  confidence
• 7:49
  doesn't
• 7:49
  come
• 7:49
  from
• 7:49
  controlling
• 7:50
  everything.
• 7:52
  It
• 7:52
  comes
• 7:52
  from
• 7:52
  handling
• 7:53
  what
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  can
• 7:53
  with
• 7:53
  wisdom
• 7:54
  and
• 7:55
  entrusting
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  rest
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  God.
• 7:58
  That's
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  big
• 7:58
  thing
• 7:58
  here.
• 8:00
  And
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  also
• 8:01
  changes
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  way
• 8:01
  we
• 8:01
  look
• 8:02
  at
• 8:02
  people
• 8:02
  who've
• 8:02
  gone
• 8:03
  through
• 8:03
  painful
• 8:03
  seasons.
• 8:06
  You
• 8:06
  got
• 8:06
  to
• 8:07
  remember
• 8:07
  this,
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  I
• 8:07
  think
• 8:07
  you're
• 8:08
  falling
• 8:08
  into
• 8:08
  this
• 8:08
  a
• 8:08
  little
• 8:09
  bit,
• 8:09
  Ricky.
• 8:10
  You
• 8:10
  got
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  remember
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  people
• 8:11
  are
• 8:11
  more
• 8:12
  than
• 8:12
  their
• 8:12
  worst
• 8:12
  season.
• 8:14
  That
• 8:15
  woman's
• 8:15
  story
• 8:15
  is
• 8:15
  sad.
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  can
• 8:16
  only
• 8:17
  imagine
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  terror
• 8:18
  that
• 8:19
  she's
• 8:19
  gone
• 8:19
  through.
• 8:21
  But
• 8:21
  even
• 8:21
  that
• 8:22
  isn't
• 8:22
  her
• 8:22
  whole
• 8:23
  identity.
• 8:23
  That
• 8:24
  hardship
• 8:24
  isn't
• 8:25
  her
• 8:25
  whole
• 8:25
  identity.
• 8:28
  People
• 8:28
  like
• 8:28
  me
• 8:28
  and
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  and
• 8:29
  other
• 8:29
  people
• 8:30
  listening
• 8:30
  or
• 8:30
  watching
• 8:30
  right
• 8:31
  now
• 8:31
  go
• 8:31
  through
• 8:31
  long
• 8:32
  recoveries
• 8:33
  from
• 8:33
  struggles.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:35
  yeah,
• 8:36
  some
• 8:36
  losses
• 8:36
  change
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  lifetime,
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  time
• 8:38
  of
• 8:39
  life
• 8:39
  in
• 8:39
  painful
• 8:40
  ways.
• 8:40
  But
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  difficult
• 8:41
  season
• 8:41
  isn't
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  end
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  person's
• 8:43
  story.
• 8:43
  So
• 8:44
  you
• 8:44
  got
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  be
• 8:44
  real
• 8:44
  careful
• 8:45
  not
• 8:45
  to
• 8:45
  turn
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  someone
• 8:46
  else's
• 8:47
  struggle
• 8:47
  into
• 8:47
  that
• 8:48
  constant
• 8:48
  fear
• 8:49
  narrative
• 8:49
  in
• 8:49
  your
• 8:49
  own
• 8:50
  life.
• 8:52
  It's
• 8:52
  okay
• 8:52
  to
• 8:53
  feel
• 8:53
  compassion
• 8:53
  for
• 8:54
  them,
• 8:55
  but
• 8:55
  allow
• 8:56
  that
• 8:56
  to
• 8:56
  produce
• 8:56
  wisdom.
• 8:58
  But
• 8:58
  don't
• 8:58
  let
• 8:58
  it
• 8:58
  convince
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  that
• 8:59
  hope
• 8:59
  is
• 8:59
  gone.
• 9:01
  Even
• 9:01
  in
• 9:02
  her
• 9:02
  story,
• 9:03
  there
• 9:03
  is
• 9:04
  still
• 9:04
  recovery.
• 9:05
  And
• 9:06
  recovery
• 9:07
  is
• 9:07
  strong.
• 9:09
  And
• 9:10
  if
• 9:10
  you're
• 9:10
  not
• 9:10
  careful,
• 9:12
  fear
• 9:12
  is
• 9:12
  going
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  move
• 9:13
  from
• 9:13
  being
• 9:13
  a
• 9:14
  thought
• 9:14
  into
• 9:14
  becoming
• 9:15
  a
• 9:15
  way
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  life.
• 9:17
  So
• 9:17
  you've
• 9:18
  got
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  start
• 9:18
  thinking
• 9:18
  about
• 9:19
  how
• 9:19
  do
• 9:19
  you
• 9:19
  protect
• 9:20
  your
• 9:20
  mind
• 9:20
  from
• 9:20
  fear
• 9:21
  based
• 9:21
  living?
• 9:22
  This
• 9:22
  is
• 9:22
  an
• 9:22
  epidemic
• 9:23
  right
• 9:23
  now.
• 9:24
  So
• 9:24
  many
• 9:25
  People
• 9:25
  are
• 9:25
  living
• 9:25
  in
• 9:26
  constant
• 9:26
  fear
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  fear
• 9:28
  can
• 9:28
  make
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  obsessive.
• 9:29
  You
• 9:30
  will
• 9:30
  obsess
• 9:30
  about
• 9:31
  every
• 9:31
  single
• 9:31
  thing
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  your
• 9:32
  life.
• 9:32
  It
• 9:32
  makes
• 9:33
  you
• 9:33
  become
• 9:33
  hyper
• 9:34
  vigilant.
• 9:35
  You're
• 9:35
  constantly
• 9:36
  scanning
• 9:36
  for
• 9:36
  those
• 9:37
  worst
• 9:37
  case
• 9:37
  scenarios,
• 9:39
  what's
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  worst
• 9:39
  that
• 9:40
  can
• 9:40
  happen?
• 9:40
  And
• 9:41
  you
• 9:41
  start
• 9:41
  to
• 9:41
  live
• 9:41
  in
• 9:41
  that
• 9:42
  reality
• 9:42
  and
• 9:43
  it
• 9:43
  steals
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  joy
• 9:44
  from
• 9:44
  ordinary
• 9:45
  life.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:47
  it
• 9:48
  can
• 9:48
  make
• 9:48
  wise
• 9:48
  planning
• 9:49
  feel
• 9:49
  like
• 9:49
  some
• 9:49
  emotional
• 9:50
  panic
• 9:51
  all
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  time.
• 9:53
  So
• 9:53
  if
• 9:53
  your
• 9:54
  preparation
• 9:54
  is
• 9:54
  making
• 9:55
  you
• 9:55
  feel
• 9:55
  frantic
• 9:56
  all
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  time,
• 9:56
  friends,
• 9:56
  something
• 9:57
  is
• 9:57
  off.
• 9:59
  You
• 9:59
  shouldn't
• 9:59
  live
• 9:59
  in
• 10:00
  this
• 10:00
  constant
• 10:00
  state
• 10:00
  of
• 10:01
  pressure
• 10:01
  and
• 10:02
  fear.
• 10:04
  If
• 10:04
  you're
• 10:04
  really
• 10:04
  being
• 10:05
  wise
• 10:05
  with
• 10:05
  your
• 10:06
  stewardship,
• 10:06
  wise
• 10:07
  with
• 10:07
  your
• 10:07
  planning,
• 10:08
  it
• 10:08
  should
• 10:08
  produce
• 10:09
  clarity,
• 10:10
  not
• 10:11
  more
• 10:11
  chaos,
• 10:13
  steadiness,
• 10:15
  not
• 10:15
  some
• 10:16
  constant
• 10:16
  torment
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  what's
• 10:17
  going
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  happen
• 10:18
  next.
• 10:20
  Preparation
• 10:20
  should
• 10:21
  help
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  stand
• 10:21
  firm,
• 10:22
  not
• 10:23
  live
• 10:23
  scared.
• 10:25
  But
• 10:25
  now
• 10:26
  you're
• 10:26
  probably
• 10:26
  saying,
• 10:26
  ralph,
• 10:26
  that
• 10:27
  sounds
• 10:27
  good
• 10:27
  dude,
• 10:27
  but
• 10:28
  how
• 10:28
  can
• 10:28
  I
• 10:29
  guard
• 10:29
  my
• 10:29
  mind
• 10:29
  against
• 10:30
  these
• 10:30
  things?
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  want
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  give
• 10:32
  you
• 10:32
  some
• 10:32
  real
• 10:32
  practical
• 10:33
  things,
• 10:33
  one
• 10:33
  of
• 10:33
  the
• 10:33
  big
• 10:34
  ones.
• 10:34
  We
• 10:34
  talk
• 10:34
  about
• 10:34
  this
• 10:34
  on
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  show
• 10:35
  all
• 10:35
  the

  time.
• 10:36
  You
• 10:36
  got
• 10:36
  to
• 10:36
  stop
• 10:36
  that
• 10:37
  doom
• 10:37
  scrolling
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  that
• 10:39
  fear
• 10:39
  driven
• 10:39
  financial
• 10:40
  content.
• 10:41
  You
• 10:41
  just
• 10:41
  got
• 10:41
  to
• 10:42
  stop
• 10:42
  comparing
• 10:42
  yourself
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  everybody
• 10:43
  else's
• 10:45
  set
• 10:45
  that
• 10:46
  simple
• 10:46
  schedule
• 10:47
  for
• 10:47
  money
• 10:47
  check
• 10:48
  ins.
• 10:48
  Instead
• 10:48
  of
• 10:49
  worrying
• 10:49
  all
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  time
• 10:49
  to
• 10:50
  say,
• 10:50
  listen,
• 10:50
  I'm
• 10:50
  not
• 10:50
  going
• 10:50
  to
• 10:50
  worry
• 10:50
  about
• 10:51
  this
• 10:51
  right
• 10:51
  now.
• 10:51
  I'm
• 10:52
  going
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  have
• 10:52
  my
• 10:52
  check
• 10:52
  in
• 10:53
  later
• 10:53
  this
• 10:53
  week.
• 10:53
  We'll
• 10:54
  see
• 10:54
  how
• 10:54
  things
• 10:54
  are
• 10:55
  going.
• 10:56
  Write
• 10:56
  down
• 10:56
  the
• 10:56
  plan
• 10:57
  so
• 10:57
  your
• 10:57
  mind
• 10:58
  doesn't
• 10:58
  keep
• 10:58
  inventing
• 10:59
  one
• 11:01
  and
• 11:01
  talk
• 11:01
  to
• 11:02
  God
• 11:02
  honestly
• 11:02
  about
• 11:03
  what
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  fear.
• 11:03
  It's
• 11:04
  okay
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  say
• 11:04
  to
• 11:05
  God,
• 11:05
  dad,
• 11:05
  I
• 11:05
  don't
• 11:06
  understand
• 11:06
  this.
• 11:08
  Help
• 11:08
  me
• 11:09
  understand
• 11:09
  this
• 11:11
  and
• 11:11
  bring
• 11:12
  in
• 11:12
  your
• 11:12
  spouse,
• 11:12
  bring
• 11:13
  in
• 11:13
  your
• 11:13
  friend,
• 11:13
  that
• 11:14
  counselor
• 11:14
  or
• 11:14
  that
• 11:15
  advisor
• 11:15
  if
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  anxiety
• 11:16
  is
• 11:17
  driving
• 11:17
  your
• 11:18
  thinking.
• 11:19
  But
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  want
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  take
• 11:20
  this
• 11:20
  little
• 11:21
  deeper
• 11:22
  because
• 11:22
  may
• 11:23
  really
• 11:23
  be
• 11:24
  haunting
• 11:24
  you
• 11:24
  right
• 11:24
  now
• 11:25
  is
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  thought
• 11:25
  that
• 11:25
  life
• 11:26
  can
• 11:26
  change
• 11:26
  faster
• 11:27
  than
• 11:27
  you're
• 11:27
  ready
• 11:27
  for.
• 11:29
  That
• 11:30
  one
• 11:30
  crisis
• 11:30
  you're
• 11:31
  not
• 11:31
  expecting,
• 11:32
  that
• 11:33
  that
• 11:33
  economic
• 11:33
  recession,
• 11:34
  that
• 11:34
  loss,
• 11:35
  that
• 11:35
  one
• 11:35
  phone
• 11:35
  call
• 11:36
  you
• 11:36
  get
• 11:37
  and
• 11:38
  suddenly
• 11:38
  the
• 11:38
  future
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  thought
• 11:39
  was
• 11:39
  stable
• 11:40
  feels
• 11:40
  fragile.
• 11:43
  But
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  want
• 11:43
  you
• 11:43
  to
• 11:44
  hear
• 11:44
  me
• 11:44
  clearly
• 11:44
  on
• 11:44
  this.
• 11:46
  Your
• 11:46
  life
• 11:46
  is
• 11:47
  not
• 11:47
  ultimately
• 11:47
  held
• 11:48
  together
• 11:48
  by
• 11:48
  your
• 11:49
  ability
• 11:49
  to
• 11:49
  prevent
• 11:50
  every
• 11:50
  hard
• 11:50
  season.
• 11:52
  Yes,
• 11:53
  wisdom
• 11:53
  matters,
• 11:54
  planning
• 11:54
  matters,
• 11:55
  preparation
• 11:56
  matters.
• 11:57
  But
• 11:58
  friend,
• 11:58
  God
• 11:58
  never
• 11:59
  asked
• 11:59
  you
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  carry
• 11:59
  tomorrow
• 12:00
  as
• 12:00
  if
• 12:01
  you
• 12:01
  were
• 12:01
  the
• 12:01
  provider.
• 12:03
  God
• 12:03
  calls
• 12:04
  all
• 12:04
  of
• 12:04
  us
• 12:04
  to
• 12:04
  be
• 12:04
  faithful
• 12:05
  today,
• 12:06
  to
• 12:06
  prepare
• 12:07
  wisely
• 12:07
  today,
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  to
• 12:08
  trust
• 12:09
  him
• 12:09
  today.
• 12:11
  And
• 12:11
  fear
• 12:12
  loses
• 12:12
  some
• 12:12
  of
• 12:12
  its
• 12:12
  power
• 12:13
  when
• 12:13
  you
• 12:13
  stop
• 12:13
  treating
• 12:14
  uncertainty
• 12:15
  like
• 12:15
  proof
• 12:15
  that
• 12:15
  God
• 12:16
  will
• 12:16
  fail
• 12:16
  you.
• 12:17
  God
• 12:17
  is
• 12:17
  never
• 12:17
  going
• 12:17
  to
• 12:18
  fail
• 12:18
  you.
• 12:20
  He
• 12:20
  just
• 12:20
  won't.
• 12:22
  So
• 12:22
  ask
• 12:22
  him,
• 12:23
  help
• 12:23
  him
• 12:23
  to
• 12:24
  prepare
• 12:24
  you
• 12:24
  wisely
• 12:25
  without
• 12:25
  letting
• 12:25
  fear
• 12:25
  take
• 12:26
  over
• 12:26
  your
• 12:26
  heart
• 12:26
  and
• 12:27
  your
• 12:27
  life.
• 12:29
  That
• 12:30
  preparation
• 12:30
  we
• 12:30
  talked
• 12:31
  about
• 12:31
  today
• 12:31
  creates
• 12:32
  steadiness.
• 12:33
  That
• 12:34
  fear
• 12:35
  only
• 12:35
  creates
• 12:35
  exhaustion
• 12:36
  in
• 12:36
  your
• 12:36
  life.
• 12:37
  So
• 12:38
  here's
• 12:38
  your
• 12:38
  win
• 12:38
  for
• 12:38
  today.
• 12:39
  I
• 12:39
  want
• 12:39
  you
• 12:39
  to
• 12:39
  write
• 12:39
  down
• 12:40
  one
• 12:40
  layer.
• 12:40
  We
• 12:40
  talked
• 12:40
  about
• 12:41
  one
• 12:41
  layer.
• 12:42
  I
• 12:42
  want
• 12:42
  you
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  write
• 12:43
  down
• 12:43
  one
• 12:43
  layer
• 12:43
  of
• 12:44
  stability
• 12:44
  you
• 12:44
  want
• 12:44
  to
• 12:45
  strengthen
• 12:45
  this
• 12:45
  week.
• 12:46
  Just
• 12:46
  one.
• 12:47
  Maybe
• 12:47
  it's
• 12:47
  that
• 12:48
  savings
• 12:48
  layer,
• 12:49
  paying
• 12:49
  down
• 12:50
  debt,
• 12:50
  making
• 12:51
  sure
• 12:51
  you've
• 12:51
  got
• 12:51
  adequate
• 12:52
  insurance,
• 12:53
  building
• 12:53
  up
• 12:53
  those
• 12:54
  skills.
• 12:54
  Or
• 12:54
  hey,
• 12:54
  maybe
• 12:55
  it's
• 12:55
  finding
• 12:55
  that
• 12:55
  support
• 12:56
  person
• 12:56
  that
• 12:56
  you
• 12:56
  can
• 12:56
  go
• 12:57
  to
• 12:58
  and
• 12:58
  focus
• 12:59
  on
• 12:59
  building
• 12:59
  that,
• 13:00
  not
• 13:00
  on
• 13:00
  catastrophizing
• 13:01
  everything
• 13:02
  around
• 13:02
  you.
• 13:03
  Just
• 13:04
  choose
• 13:04
  that
• 13:04
  one
• 13:04
  thing
• 13:05
  and
• 13:05
  work
• 13:05
  on
• 13:05
  strengthening
• 13:06
  this
• 13:06
  week.
• 13:07
  Let's
• 13:07
  get
• 13:07
  to
• 13:08
  our
• 13:08
  Bible
• 13:08
  verse
• 13:08
  Today
• 13:08
  comes

  It

  Therefore

  do
• 13:14
  not
• 13:14
  worry
• 13:14
  about
• 13:15
  tomorrow,

  for
• 13:16
  tomorrow
• 13:17
  will
• 13:17
  worry
• 13:17
  about

  itself.
• 13:19
  Each
• 13:19
  day
• 13:20
  has
• 13:20
  enough
• 13:20
  trouble
• 13:20
  of

  its

  own.
• 13:22
  What

  a
• 13:23
  perfect
• 13:23
  scripture
• 13:23
  for

  today.
• 13:26
  We

  can't
• 13:26
  worry
• 13:26
  about
• 13:26
  tomorrow,
• 13:27
  friend.
• 13:28
  We

  can't
• 13:28
  worry
• 13:28
  about
• 13:29
  next
• 13:29
  week.
• 13:30
  God
• 13:30
  calls
• 13:31
  us
• 13:31
  to
• 13:31
  live
• 13:31
  wisely
• 13:32
  in
• 13:32
  today,
• 13:32
  in
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  present,
• 13:33
  without
• 13:34
  being
• 13:34
  consumed
• 13:35
  by
• 13:35
  fear
• 13:35
  about
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  future.
• 13:38
  God
• 13:39
  will
• 13:39
  give
• 13:39
  you
• 13:39
  enough
• 13:39
  daily
• 13:40
  bread
• 13:40
  for
• 13:40
  today.
• 13:41
  How
• 13:41
  about
• 13:41
  we
• 13:41
  pray
• 13:41
  together?
• 13:43
  Heavenly
• 13:43
  Father,
• 13:44
  I
• 13:44
  lift
• 13:45
  up
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  person
• 13:45
  who's
• 13:45
  carrying
• 13:46
  fear
• 13:46
  about
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  future
• 13:47
  right
• 13:47
  now.
• 13:48
  And
• 13:48
  Lord,
• 13:49
  you
• 13:49
  know
• 13:49
  how
• 13:49
  fragile
• 13:50
  life
• 13:50
  can
• 13:50
  sometimes
• 13:51
  feel
• 13:51
  to
• 13:51
  all
• 13:51
  of
• 13:52
  us.
• 13:53
  You
• 13:53
  know
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  uncertainty.
• 13:55
  You
• 13:55
  know
• 13:55
  that
• 13:55
  weight
• 13:56
  on
• 13:56
  our
• 13:56
  hearts,
• 13:56
  Lord.
• 13:58
  So
• 13:58
  give
• 13:58
  us
• 13:58
  wisdom
• 13:59
  to
• 13:59
  prepare
• 13:59
  well
• 14:00
  without
• 14:00
  becoming
• 14:00
  trapped
• 14:01
  in
• 14:01
  fear.
• 14:02
  Help
• 14:03
  us
• 14:03
  to
• 14:03
  build
• 14:03
  steady
• 14:04
  habits
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  healthy
• 14:05
  foundations.
• 14:06
  And
• 14:07
  most
• 14:07
  of
• 14:07
  all,
• 14:07
  resilient
• 14:08
  faith.
• 14:10
  Protect
• 14:10
  our
• 14:10
  minds
• 14:11
  from
• 14:11
  anxiety
• 14:11
  that
• 14:12
  steals
• 14:12
  our
• 14:12
  peace
• 14:12
  before
• 14:13
  problems
• 14:13
  even
• 14:13
  arrive
• 14:14
  in
• 14:14
  our
• 14:14
  lives,
• 14:15
  Lord.
• 14:15
  And
• 14:16
  remind
• 14:16
  us
• 14:17
  that
• 14:18
  you
• 14:18
  are
• 14:18
  faithful
• 14:19
  in
• 14:19
  every
• 14:19
  season
• 14:19
  of
• 14:20
  life,
• 14:21
  including
• 14:21
  those
• 14:21
  difficult
• 14:22
  ones.
• 14:24
  And
• 14:24
  ultimately
• 14:24
  help
• 14:25
  us
• 14:25
  all
• 14:25
  to
• 14:25
  remember
• 14:25
  that
• 14:26
  our
• 14:26
  security
• 14:26
  isn't
• 14:27
  found
• 14:27
  in
• 14:27
  having
• 14:27
  complete
• 14:28
  control,
• 14:28
  Lord,
• 14:30
  but
• 14:30
  in
• 14:30
  walking
• 14:30
  with
• 14:31
  you,
• 14:31
  whatever
• 14:32
  comes
• 14:32
  our
• 14:32
  way.
• 14:34
  And
• 14:34
  I
• 14:34
  ask
• 14:34
  this
• 14:34
  in
• 14:35
  Jesus
• 14:35
  name,
• 14:36
  Amen,
• 14:39
  friend.
• 14:39
  Wisdom
• 14:40
  prepares
• 14:40
  for
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  future.
• 14:42
  Fear
• 14:43
  tries
• 14:43
  to
• 14:43
  live
• 14:43
  there
• 14:44
  early.
• 14:45
  So
• 14:46
  take
• 14:46
  that
• 14:46
  next
• 14:46
  faithful
• 14:47
  step.
• 14:47
  Not
• 14:48
  that
• 14:48
  panic
• 14:48
  one
• 14:49
  and
• 14:49
  if
• 14:49
  you'd
• 14:49
  like
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  share
• 14:50

  ask

  a

  question,
• 14:52
  you
• 14:52
  can

  leave
