Speaker 5: have to deal with grief. We all deal with it differently.
5:43
Speaker 5: It all affects us different and do we ever get
5:46
Speaker 5: over it. No, it is a learning process and it
5:50
Speaker 5: is something that we have to learn to live through.
5:54
Speaker 5: You know, we don't have to live with it. We
5:57
Speaker 5: got to live through it because we can get through it.
6:01
Speaker 5: Because look, one day, were too gonna leave here and
6:04
Speaker 5: then someone is gonna have to be able to handle
6:09
Speaker 5: us transitioning. So we want to make sure that we
6:12
Speaker 5: are leaving memories and that we are leaving things that
6:14
Speaker 5: will empower people. Someone move on out the way and
6:17
Speaker 5: bring up my guests. Hopefully my other guests will join us.

7:08
Speaker 2: I have four grandsons. I am a commercial driver. I
7:17
Speaker 2: am currently just found out that I am an author.
7:22
Speaker 2: I am the co I am the host of Let's
7:26
Speaker 2: Talk About a podcast that I launched in February through
7:34
Speaker 2: the Crew Podcasts. I started that probably about like three
7:44
Speaker 2: months after my son passed away. And yeah, that's who
7:53
Speaker 2: I am. I'm quiet, and you know, I'm I'm just
8:03
Speaker 2: I'm just shouting that I'm who God made me to be.
8:09
Speaker 5: Of all the things that you could have chose to
8:13
Speaker 5: do to allow your voice to be heard, why choose podcasting?
8:22
Speaker 2: You know? One day, my husband Wan Johnson is currently
8:31
Speaker 2: incarcerated in Denver on a room for conviction and hearing
8:39
Speaker 2: his story and it I wanted to like bring more
8:45
Speaker 2: awareness to what was going on. And then as I
8:50
Speaker 2: talked to like the when I will go visit him
8:54
Speaker 2: and I would talk to the other men's that was
8:58
Speaker 2: in prison next, you know, in the same facility as
9:01
Speaker 2: he is, and I'm listening to their stories and I'm like, Wow,
9:09
Speaker 2: this really, this really is happening. You know, you read
9:12
Speaker 2: about it and you see it, but when you actually
9:17
Speaker 2: come face to face with it, it just burned it.
9:22
Speaker 2: I mean I just had this burning sensation inside inside
9:26
Speaker 2: of me and not having my son here and I
9:30
Speaker 2: can hear him saying, Mama, you got it. You use
9:32
Speaker 2: your voice because I was always the quiet one. I
9:35
Speaker 2: never talked. I was always in the background. And then
9:42
Speaker 2: now I have I'm giving a voice to the to
9:46
Speaker 2: the men and women that doesn't have a Wow.
11:14
Speaker 5: And with all that you are going through, you said
11:19
Speaker 5: you launched your podcast in the midst of losing your son.
11:27
Speaker 5: How has that been for you, dealing with grief, trying
11:32
Speaker 5: to advocate, trying to be a voice. How has that
11:37
Speaker 5: been for you?
15:02
Speaker 2: Okay to that picture and you know, sometimes, you know,
19:13
Speaker 2: you guys probably think I'm crazy, but I'm just a
19:16
Speaker 2: grieving mother that lost her her thirty one year old son. Well,
19:22
Speaker 2: I didn't lose him. I don't like the word lost
19:24
Speaker 2: because I didn't lose anything. He just transitioned to another life.
19:32
Speaker 5: So I know you're dealing with a lot and you
19:38
Speaker 5: have found writing to be an outlet to release. How
19:47
Speaker 5: have you use these this new found outlet to share
19:56
Speaker 5: with others, because sometimes there are other people out there
20:02
Speaker 5: experiencing some of the same things that we are going through,
20:06
Speaker 5: or some of the things that we have gone through
20:10
Speaker 5: that could possibly, you know, encourage someone out of what
20:14
Speaker 5: they're going through. So how has the these last say
20:20
Speaker 5: this last year. How has twenty twenty four encouraged you,
20:25
Speaker 5: taught you, educate you, encouraged you, empowered you to want
20:30
Speaker 5: to help the next person that may be coming behind you.
20:36
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, it's still I'm still a work in
20:46
Speaker 2: a progress. I'm still being mold. God still is molding
20:50
Speaker 2: me and and shaping me to where I'm supposed to be.
20:56
Speaker 2: When I do come in contact with mothers or fathers
20:59
Speaker 2: or anybody that lost a loved one, especially a child,
21:05
Speaker 2: and normally y now I'm coming into contact with mothers
21:10
Speaker 2: that lost sons. So when they share with me, then
21:18
Speaker 2: I open up to them. I tell them my story
21:22
Speaker 2: because you know, I also I do lift, and I
21:25
Speaker 2: wanna say. Two weeks ago, I came in contact with
21:29
Speaker 2: uh a mother. I thought it was she was dropping
21:32
Speaker 2: her daughter off at school, but it was actually her
21:36
Speaker 2: son's daughter that she was dropping off at school. And
21:41
Speaker 2: she was telling me that her son had had took
21:47
Speaker 2: a nap and he didn't wake back up. And that
21:52
Speaker 2: was just past January. And then that's when I was
21:56
Speaker 2: able to share with her what had happened. What you know,
22:02
Speaker 2: Kyle went to sleep and he didn't wake back up.
22:05
Speaker 2: So I was able to share with her and tell
22:09
Speaker 2: her the things that I was doing that you know,
22:13
Speaker 2: when it get too heavy for me, I'll write it down.
22:19
Speaker 2: You know, today it got heavy it I was like,
22:23
Speaker 2: can I breathe? So I'm working on a poem with that.
22:30
Speaker 2: Guy gave me that to to work with, so I'm
22:34
Speaker 2: working on that. I shared with a lot of people.
22:42
Speaker 2: You know, they asked me because you know, I'm a
22:45
Speaker 2: commercial driver. I haven't went back to driving because my
22:50
Speaker 2: mental mind is not there. And I shared that with
22:53
Speaker 2: her because she was saying, you know what she doing,
22:56
Speaker 2: And I told her, I said, this is why I stay.
23:00
Speaker 2: I do lift and I drive for a nonprofit school.
23:04
Speaker 2: The lighthouse or the blind. I drive for them as
23:07
Speaker 2: to uh to keep going. And I told her, I said,
23:12
Speaker 2: you gotta keep going. You just cannot just sit in
23:15
Speaker 2: the house and not do nothing, because then your mind
23:19
Speaker 2: gonna wonder and you're gonna sit there. You're gonna be old,
23:23
Speaker 2: my baby, and then you're gonna go into that depression.
23:26
Speaker 2: I've been through all that.
23:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's rough. And I tell you, I
23:33
Speaker 5: have moments every day, so I tell people that it people.
23:38
Speaker 5: When people say it gets easier, I can't say that
23:42
Speaker 5: it gets easy. So I won't tell nobody that. But
23:48
Speaker 5: I have learned to live through it. I can tell
23:53
Speaker 5: you that I've learned to live through it and living
23:56
Speaker 5: through it. We have Shaniyah that has joined us. I'm
23:59
Speaker 5: gonna ahead and bring her up. But I have learned to.
24:03
Speaker 4: Live through it.
24:06
Speaker 5: And learning to live through it. I have my moments,
24:09
Speaker 5: you know, and some days are good days and some
24:12
Speaker 5: days are bad days. But whatever it is, I have
24:17
Speaker 5: learned to lean and depend on the one that created
24:21
Speaker 5: me because I know that no matter what I go through,
24:25
Speaker 5: that He's always gonna see me through it because he
24:28
Speaker 5: would never put more on me because he know everything
24:31
Speaker 5: about me. He know what I can deal with and
24:33
Speaker 5: he know what I can't deal with. So if I'm
24:36
Speaker 5: going through it, he already knows that I can deal
24:39
Speaker 5: with it. So now I have to learn how to
24:42
Speaker 5: process it and how to get through it. So then
24:45
Speaker 5: that's when we have to learn how to apply the word.
24:48
Speaker 5: That's why it's very important that we don't just read
24:51
Speaker 5: these words and just think that their words on pages,
24:54
Speaker 5: but we learn how to apply them to our lives
24:57
Speaker 5: and be around people that that can encourage you and
25:02
Speaker 5: uplift you. I don't care what you're going through, there's
25:07
Speaker 5: always somebody going through something worse than you. So know
25:10
Speaker 5: that if there are people there for you, try to
25:14
Speaker 5: let them be there for you, don't push them away.
25:19
Speaker 5: And if somebody is reaching out to you, y'all, be
25:22
Speaker 5: that listening here, be that listening here. But I want Shania,
25:28
Speaker 5: since she's joined us, I want her to introduce herself,
25:32
Speaker 5: share just a little bit about you if you would.
25:35
Speaker 6: Okay, Hey everyone, I'm Shania on I'm one of the
25:45
Speaker 6: I'm one of the prayer boys on the prayer line
25:49
Speaker 6: that we do, and we've been on the prayer line
25:51
Speaker 6: for almost five years.
25:53
Speaker 5: Four years five years of February.
25:57
Speaker 6: So it's been a long time. But it's been also
26:00
Speaker 6: though because prayer is good, so I can't deny that
26:04
Speaker 6: that's just been I just love being on the prayer line.
26:08
Speaker 6: But yes, I'm Shaniia Angela Is. It is helping me
26:15
Speaker 6: with my book, my first time being the author want
26:19
Speaker 6: warn women of faith, men of faith. She's helping me
26:24
Speaker 6: with that. So I'm just trying to I need to
26:27
Speaker 6: get more more dedicated to it so I can push
26:34
Speaker 6: this book, so this book could be ready by the
26:36
Speaker 6: first of the year. Like I say, I'm married, I
26:41
Speaker 6: have three kids, they all grown. I have two beautiful grandchildren.
26:48
Speaker 6: I also have a son that's in prison. Who would say,
26:52
Speaker 6: I said, Me and my husband, we have a trucking company.
26:56
Speaker 6: We deal with trouble teens. We deal with a lot
27:01
Speaker 6: of different things. We kind of do with the community.
27:06
Speaker 6: So that's what I do.
27:11
Speaker 5: They are a power couple. They have their hands and
27:14
Speaker 5: many things. That's that's for the building of the kingdom.
27:18
Speaker 5: I can say that what they are doing is definitely
27:22
Speaker 5: for the building of the kingdom because Kent has took
27:27
Speaker 5: a business and allowed opportunities for others to have a
27:32
Speaker 5: second chance. You don't see that often. It's a ministry.
27:37
Speaker 5: He everything that he do has become a ministry. Even
27:41
Speaker 5: though it's a business, it's a ministry too because he's
27:45
Speaker 5: impacting lives for the kingdom. And I tell you he
27:48
Speaker 5: have a powerful wife right there beside him, because when
27:52
Speaker 5: she come in that prayer room, she said, I don't
27:54
Speaker 5: know how to pray, but I'm gonna come in. And
27:57
Speaker 5: she came in and she did not let go. And
28:00
Speaker 5: I tell you, guy has truly showed his self through her.
28:05
Speaker 5: I tell you, if she speaking, you better believe it's
28:09
Speaker 5: gonna come to pass. I tell you, I call her
28:15
Speaker 5: a prophet because if she's speaking, it's gonna come to past.
28:19
Speaker 5: She's speaking, it's gonna come to pass. But I tell you,
28:22
Speaker 5: I truly have enjoyed being on that pro line with
28:26
Speaker 5: you guys and just being able to not just think
28:29
Speaker 5: about ourselves, but to think about others. And it has
28:33
Speaker 5: truly been a trying year for us. Normally we do
28:38
Speaker 5: prayer from February first to normally it's June first, the
28:42
Speaker 5: leap year. It may be May thirty first. I think
28:45
Speaker 5: it's May thirty first with the leap year, but Normally
28:48
Speaker 5: we go June first and then we done. We do
28:51
Speaker 5: the one hundred and twenty one days and then we done.
28:55
Speaker 5: Pam was doing a ninety day prayer. Then we may
28:58
Speaker 5: come back in for them with Pam and then we
29:02
Speaker 5: were done. But this year, God he saw different. He said,
29:06
Speaker 5: y'all need to go back in prayer. We come out
29:09
Speaker 5: May thirty first, and he just kept dealing with me,
29:13
Speaker 5: and so I reached out to Shaniia and I was like,
29:16
Speaker 5: it's just like something, just keep telling me. Well, he
29:19
Speaker 5: was telling me that we need to go back in prayer.
29:22
Speaker 5: Started augusta first. So we have been back in prayer
29:25
Speaker 5: since August the first one hundred and what thirty one
29:28
Speaker 5: days now I think then it's one hundred and thirty
29:32
Speaker 5: one days. We have been back in prayer, standing on
29:35
Speaker 5: the wall, trusting him, believing that God is gonna be
29:37
Speaker 5: who he said he was gonna be, and just standing
29:41
Speaker 5: in the gap, you know, believing that he's gonna do
29:45
Speaker 5: what he said he was gonna do. So doing that
29:49
Speaker 5: it has allowed these powerful individuals to decide that they
29:53
Speaker 5: wanted to share God's goodness. Shaniia, she's leading the project
29:59
Speaker 5: the Warren Women and.
30:00
Speaker 2: Men of faith.
30:03
Speaker 5: I tell you just to know that you have prayer
30:08
Speaker 5: warriors that's willing to stand in the gap, that's willing
30:11
Speaker 5: to stand on the wall, that's that's willing to stand
30:14
Speaker 5: and not come down and until they see God move.
30:19
Speaker 5: I tell you, it's just something. It's just something. And
30:23
Speaker 5: to hear testimonies. You know, the Word tells us that
30:26
Speaker 5: we overcome by the hearing and sharing the testimonies. And
30:29
Speaker 5: if we don't share what God has done for us,
30:32
Speaker 5: then we lose it. So I want you to share
30:35
Speaker 5: with those that are listening today or those that will
30:39
Speaker 5: hear this as a replay, what are you looking for
30:42
Speaker 5: for this project, Shaniya.
30:45
Speaker 6: In this project, par I'm really looking for testimonies because
30:52
Speaker 6: I know we all don't been through some things. We
30:55
Speaker 6: all don't see how God brought us out of stuff.
30:58
Speaker 6: We all don't seen how God just being truly good
31:02
Speaker 6: to us. So in this project, I just want people,
31:07
Speaker 6: you know, just open up about your testimony. Let other
31:11
Speaker 6: people know how how good God is even when you
31:14
Speaker 6: was going through your struggles, even when you was going
31:17
Speaker 6: through anything in life, sickness, whatever it is. If you
31:21
Speaker 6: was praying for somebody and it came through. I just
31:24
Speaker 6: want people to be able to be a part, you know,
31:28
Speaker 6: a part of this project and just talk about your
31:31
Speaker 6: testimony because we all don't been through some things. So
31:35
Speaker 6: I want this book to be open where people can
31:38
Speaker 6: just talk, just talk about how good God being and
31:42
Speaker 6: and where you're at today and how you was in
31:45
Speaker 6: the past, and you look back and see how you know,
31:48
Speaker 6: God have truly opened up doors for you.
31:51
Speaker 2: You know.
31:52
Speaker 6: So what about person?
31:53
Speaker 5: What about that person that think that they don't have
31:57
Speaker 5: anything to share or that they may be at a
32:00
Speaker 5: place where they think that because they may be going
32:04
Speaker 5: through something. Because I tell people all the time that
32:07
Speaker 5: there's three phases of a storm. You know, you may
32:10
Speaker 5: be coming out of one storm, you may be in
32:12
Speaker 5: the midst of one storm, and you may be going
32:14
Speaker 5: into a storm. But you always there's always something. So
32:20
Speaker 5: for that person that is dealing with something and think that, hey,
32:24
Speaker 5: they don't need to share their story, that their story
32:26
Speaker 5: is not worthy, what would you say to that person
32:29
Speaker 5: today to encourage them to share their story and to
32:32
Speaker 5: speak up on the goodness of God even if they
32:35
Speaker 5: may be going through something right now.
32:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, still still speak on it because
32:42
Speaker 6: it may be somebody else that you can save. It
32:44
Speaker 6: may be somebody else who being who going through the
32:47
Speaker 6: same thing you going through, and you can help that
32:50
Speaker 6: other person. Sometimes we can get quiet in our process
32:54
Speaker 6: and you know, and people and I truly understand when
32:58
Speaker 6: somebody's going through some hardship. So whatever it is, you know,
33:01
Speaker 6: sometimes you don't want to speak on it, you don't
33:04
Speaker 6: want to talk about it. But a lot of times
33:06
Speaker 6: you have to think about it. What if it's somebody
33:08
Speaker 6: else that's going through the same thing you going through,
33:11
Speaker 6: And if you don't talk about your testimony and where
33:14
Speaker 6: you're going and how you're gonna help somebody else. So
33:17
Speaker 6: I just say talk about it. Put it in a book.
33:22
Speaker 2: Put it.
33:22
Speaker 6: You know, you can put it in this book and
33:25
Speaker 6: talk about it. It don't even have to be something
33:28
Speaker 6: dealing about what you're going through. It could be affirmation,
33:31
Speaker 6: something that that keep you going every day. I just
33:37
Speaker 6: say put it down in the book, I mean, and
33:39
Speaker 6: just let the world know. You know that, yeah, I'm
33:42
Speaker 6: going through this, but I know I'm coming on the
33:45
Speaker 6: other side better because of what God. What God can do,
33:49
Speaker 6: and nobody can tell me. So I say put it
33:51
Speaker 6: in the book and this is a good.
33:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.
33:56
Speaker 5: So Shannett, what are you looking for for your book project?
34:01
Speaker 5: Because I know you have a book project as well.
34:05
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm looking for someone, you know, anyone that's willing
34:10
Speaker 2: to share their story how they cope with grief, whether
34:15
Speaker 2: it's a loss of a child, sibling, grandparent, family, anybody.
34:25
Speaker 2: You know, how did you cope with grief? You know,
34:29
Speaker 2: it's people out there that can't get over it, they
34:33
Speaker 2: like kind of stuck, and we need to be able
34:37
Speaker 2: to share our stories to let them know that it's okay.
34:40
Speaker 2: They came, they served, they did their assignment, and they
34:45
Speaker 2: had to. You know, we all gonna go that way.
34:48
Speaker 2: We all got to leave here. We're not here, so
34:51
Speaker 2: we need to I just want people to know how
34:56
Speaker 2: I cope with these last thirteen months. And I know
35:01
Speaker 2: it's other people out there. Let's be a voice. Let's,
35:04
Speaker 2: you know, help some help a parent out, help a
35:08
Speaker 2: sibling out. You know, let's let's come together.
35:17
Speaker 5: And I think that these projects would be great projects
35:21
Speaker 5: for those that maybe first time writers that may have
35:25
Speaker 5: never written before. This will give you an opportunity to
35:29
Speaker 5: connect with other individuals to share and then not only that,
35:34
Speaker 5: you don't have to be focused on doing a whole book.
35:38
Speaker 5: You don't have to be focused on the editing, You
35:40
Speaker 5: don't have to be focused on anything but submitting your chapter.
35:45
Speaker 5: Everything else is going to be on Shaniya, and shouldn't
35:50
Speaker 5: that You don't have to worry about nothing. And then,
35:53
Speaker 5: of course you know I'm gonna be right there supporting
35:56
Speaker 5: both of them, lifting them up and making sure that
35:59
Speaker 5: they have everything in place as well. So you don't
36:03
Speaker 5: have to do nothing. All you have to do is
36:05
Speaker 5: show up with your chapter, however long they tell you
36:08
Speaker 5: they need it to be. All you have to do
36:10
Speaker 5: is submit it. We also like to share a little
36:15
Speaker 5: bit about who you are so that people know who
36:17
Speaker 5: you are. So we like for you to share a bio,
36:22
Speaker 5: a nice high resolution picture that really represents you. Because
36:28
Speaker 5: we know it's gonna be a number one best selling book,
36:33
Speaker 5: because that's all we kick out over here, is number
36:36
Speaker 5: one best sellers, and we know that it's gonna get
36:39
Speaker 5: out there and it's gonna do what it's supposed to do.
36:41
Speaker 5: So we need you, guys to join these amazing queens
36:46
Speaker 5: and allow your words to speak, allow your voice to speak,
36:50
Speaker 5: because someone else is out there going through They're waiting
36:54
Speaker 5: for you, because whether you believe it or not, all
36:59
Speaker 5: of us have a mandate on our life. There are
37:01
Speaker 5: people that God has placed a mandate for us to
37:06
Speaker 5: be over, for us to be in charge of that
37:09
Speaker 5: that have to come under us. So they're waiting for
37:12
Speaker 5: you to do what you're supposed to do so that
37:15
Speaker 5: they can walk in what they're supposed to walk in. See,
37:18
Speaker 5: some people don't believe that. People think that you got
37:20
Speaker 5: to be in and you got to be a pastor,
37:23
Speaker 5: you got to be a minister, you have to be
37:24
Speaker 5: a vanager. We all, we all are all of that.
37:28
Speaker 5: We all are all of that. We every title out
37:31
Speaker 5: there that you want to give somebody a bishop or apostle,
37:35
Speaker 5: we are all that. We may not have the official titles,
37:40
Speaker 5: because it with those titles, it comes from work, it
37:44
Speaker 5: comes from studying, it comes some extra stuff. So a
37:47
Speaker 5: lot of us may not have those yet, but we
37:50
Speaker 5: may have it over our lives, and all of us
37:54
Speaker 5: have a mandate. Either you're a teacher, you're an evangelist,
37:57
Speaker 5: you're a minister, you you something in that ifhold ministry
38:02
Speaker 5: and you're supposed to be impacting lives, So your voice
38:05
Speaker 5: need to be heard so I'm gonna put that challenge
38:08
Speaker 5: out there to y'all. Y'all need to connect with these
38:11
Speaker 5: queens and allow your voice to be heard. Because once
38:15
Speaker 5: you connect with them, I'm telling you, you're gonna start

Speaker 5: being seen. People gonna start knowing who you are, because
38:23
Speaker 5: that's what we do. That's what we do. We like
38:26
Speaker 5: to spread God's goodness. So I encourage you guys to
38:31

38:36
Speaker 5: to show to shine through you. Allow His light to
38:40
Speaker 5: shine through you. Okay, So I want to thank you

39:48
Speaker 5: you some things that a lot of people won't show
39:49
Speaker 5: you because a lot of people are afraid of what
39:54
Speaker 5: they think you may take from them, so they won't
39:56
Speaker 5: show you. But guess what I'm secure and who I
40:00
Speaker 5: I am, and I'm secure and what God has for
40:03
Speaker 5: me because what He has for me is for me.
40:05
Speaker 5: So I don't mind sharing. I don't mind pouring into
40:09
Speaker 5: others and giving. Like I posted, I published a book
40:13
Speaker 5: the other day and I published it to a platform,
40:18
Speaker 5: and y'all, it got published to over twenty different sites.
40:23
Speaker 5: My book was in places that I never thought it
40:26
Speaker 5: would be. I actually googled some of these places and
40:29
Speaker 5: was trying to figure out, you know, what these places
40:32
Speaker 5: was about and who they were. One of these places
40:36
Speaker 5: distribute to nothing but school libraries. Yeah, school libraries, y'all,
40:44
Speaker 5: So guess what the queen be over here doing stuff
40:48

Speaker 5: first child. I'm not charging you all that. See some
40:56
Speaker 5: of the stuff that I do, people would charge you
40:58
Speaker 5: thousands and thousands of dollar. But I work unto the Lord,
41:05
Speaker 5: and I know that he's gonna bless me beyond what
41:09
Speaker 5: any of you guys can bless me with. So that's
41:13
Speaker 5: why I work so hard, and I want to be
41:16

Speaker 2: I received it. I received it.
48:02
Speaker 5: I thank God for both of you, guys, I truly do.
48:07
Speaker 5: I'm excited about what He's about to do in our lives.
48:10
Speaker 5: And I'm just glad that He allowed us to cross path,
48:14
Speaker 5: like he knew what we needed before we were even
48:16
Speaker 5: gonna see in our mother's move. He knew that this
48:18
Speaker 5: day was gonna be this day. So I'm just grateful
48:21
Speaker 5: to be able to be in place because guess what
48:23
Speaker 5: I had to align with that that he had already
48:27
Speaker 5: ordained for me. Because guess what everything that we're to
48:31
Speaker 5: walk into, everything that has been mapped out for us.
48:33
Speaker 5: When he said it was done, it was done, it
48:35
Speaker 5: was finished. It's already there for us. So there's nothing
48:38
Speaker 5: new under the sun. So everything that we can wish
48:40
Speaker 5: and hope for, it's already amongst us. We got to
48:43
Speaker 5: walk into it. When he brings that breath of life
48:45
Speaker 5: into you in Genesis two and seven, everything that you
48:48
Speaker 5: needed was to positive in you. So and now it's
48:51
Speaker 5: up to you to go out and walk into that
48:54
Speaker 5: align with that that He's purpose for you. So if
48:56
Speaker 5: he's given you a testimony, I encourage you to share
48:59
Speaker 5: it and want.
49:00
Speaker 4: One of these books. Y'all.
