  9. and I mean her mom's just trying to keep and I mean her mom's just trying to keep it together like she didn't know and um it together like she didn't know and um it together like she didn't know and um and I mean this girl it's like she and I mean this girl it's like she and I mean this girl it's like she physically looks different she is so in physically looks different she is so in physically looks different she is so in love with Jesus you know this is one love with Jesus you know this is one love with Jesus you know this is one story I've gotten to follow because of story I've gotten to follow because of story I've gotten to follow because of friendship she got baptized that night friendship she got baptized that night friendship she got baptized that night she looked me in the eyes and she Saidi she looked me in the eyes and she Saidi she looked me in the eyes and she Saidi want you to know that I have not been want you to know that I have not been want you to know that I have not been living for God and that changes tonight living for God and that changes tonight living for God and that changes tonight um it is so sincere as we really um it is so sincere as we really um it is so sincere as we really especially get to see it and hear it especially get to see it and hear it especially get to see it and hear it when we get to baptize because you're when we get to baptize because you're when we get to baptize because you're really hearing their stories and really hearing their stories and really hearing their stories and realizing oh my gosh you've never told realizing oh my gosh you've never told realizing oh my gosh you've never told anyone this and it really does change anyone this and it really does change anyone this and it really does change change the human you know it changes all change the human you know it changes all change the human you know it changes all of us and and let me say this because a of us and and let me say this because a of us and and let me say this because a lot of leaders are listening this should lot of leaders are listening this should lot of leaders are listening this should be happening regularly in church as well be happening regularly in church as well be happening regularly in church as well I mean i' I've done this with leaders I mean i' I've done this with leaders I mean i' I've done this with leaders I've done this with I've done this in I've done this with I've done this in I've done this with I've done this in international spaces twice with with international spaces twice with with international spaces twice with with pastors um where people are confessing pastors um where people are confessing pastors um where people are confessing their sin I mean this is something that their sin I mean this is something that their sin I mean this is something that we need to all be doing regularly and it we need to all be doing regularly and it we need to all be doing regularly and it needs to not be you know once in a blue needs to not be you know once in a blue needs to not be you know once in a blue moon that this happens this is this is moon that this happens this is this is moon that this happens this is this is where the enemy is winning with the where the enemy is winning with the where the enemy is winning with the church right now is the secret sin and church right now is the secret sin and church right now is the secret sin and the secret struggles that that we're not the secret struggles that that we're not the secret struggles that that we're not bringing to to the light yeah every week bringing to to the light yeah every week bringing to to the light yeah every week I would just ask add to that quickly I would just ask add to that quickly I would just ask add to that quickly every week I meet with guys and confess every week I meet with guys and confess every week I meet with guys and confess sin and people think and I'm I'm sin and people think and I'm I'm sin and people think and I'm I'm disheartened at how weird people think disheartened at how weird people think disheartened at how weird people think that is and I would just say publicly I that is and I would just say publicly I that is and I would just say publicly I would not still be doing this if I would not still be doing this if I would not still be doing this if I didn't do that so I think it's weird

  10. didn't do that so I think it's weird didn't do that so I think it's weird that somebody can continue in Ministry that somebody can continue in Ministry that somebody can continue in Ministry and not do that that's that would just and not do that that's that would just and not do that that's that would just feels like a foreign concept to me well feels like a foreign concept to me well feels like a foreign concept to me well this confess your sin out loud I mean this confess your sin out loud I mean this confess your sin out loud I mean it's a James 5 type thing right confess it's a James 5 type thing right confess it's a James 5 type thing right confess your sins to other can you walk us your sins to other can you walk us your sins to other can you walk us through and Jenny I've had the privilege through and Jenny I've had the privilege through and Jenny I've had the privilege of being in the room a couple times a of being in the room a couple times a of being in the room a couple times a small room and then Royal Albert Hall small room and then Royal Albert Hall small room and then Royal Albert Hall when you've done that when you've done that when you've done that publicly um but I would love for you publicly um but I would love for you publicly um but I would love for you just to walk through so people have a just to walk through so people have a just to walk through so people have a mental framework what does that look mental framework what does that look mental framework what does that look like what does that feel like what's like what does that feel like what's like what does that feel like what's happening in the room well I mean those happening in the room well I mean those happening in the room well I mean those are those are both unique situations are those are both unique situations are those are both unique situations that you were in because I would say in that you were in because I would say in that you were in because I would say in both situations I didn't totally see both situations I didn't totally see both situations I didn't totally see that coming but I I would say with Royal that coming but I I would say with Royal that coming but I I would say with Royal Albert Hall um you know Albert Hall um you know Albert Hall um you know I think giving people space I I had a I think giving people space I I had a I think giving people space I I had a great message that day prepared I still great message that day prepared I still great message that day prepared I still have that message I haven't given it yet have that message I haven't given it yet have that message I haven't given it yet but um you know the first point it was but um you know the first point it was but um you know the first point it was funny when I got off the stage I looked funny when I got off the stage I looked funny when I got off the stage I looked at my points and I was like this I at my points and I was like this I at my points and I was like this I literally live that message in front of literally live that message in front of literally live that message in front of everyone where you know the first point everyone where you know the first point everyone where you know the first point was um you have to surrender your agenda was um you have to surrender your agenda was um you have to surrender your agenda and and there is a there's a reality to and and there is a there's a reality to and and there is a there's a reality to giving space and and allowing for the giving space and and allowing for the giving space and and allowing for the awkward I mean this is awkward I mean awkward I mean this is awkward I mean awkward I mean this is awkward I mean that conversation with my friend and um that conversation with my friend and um that conversation with my friend and um her daughter awkward like very difficult her daughter awkward like very difficult her daughter awkward like very difficult very painful conversation th this is very painful conversation th this is very painful conversation th this is this is surgery you know let's be this is surgery you know let's be this is surgery you know let's be realistic here that if you've not said realistic here that if you've not said realistic here that if you've not said these things out loud there's um it's a these things out loud there's um it's a these things out loud there's um it's a big deal to say these things and so I big deal to say these things and so I big deal to say these things and so I would just say typically what I do is

  11. would just say typically what I do is would just say typically what I do is first allow them to confess to God and first allow them to confess to God and first allow them to confess to God and have them meet with God just in a moment have them meet with God just in a moment have them meet with God just in a moment for them personally like a vertical for them personally like a vertical for them personally like a vertical thing where you're communing with God thing where you're communing with God thing where you're communing with God yeah just CL your and I you imagine yeah just CL your and I you imagine yeah just CL your and I you imagine Jesus sitting right there with you and Jesus sitting right there with you and Jesus sitting right there with you and um and then share with him what you need um and then share with him what you need um and then share with him what you need to share and so that gives them a moment to share and so that gives them a moment to share and so that gives them a moment to do that every time in any kind of to do that every time in any kind of to do that every time in any kind of room I look out and they're just wiping room I look out and they're just wiping room I look out and they're just wiping tears from their face many of them have tears from their face many of them have tears from their face many of them have never done that to the Lord they've never done that to the Lord they've never done that to the Lord they've never been honest and so that's a big never been honest and so that's a big never been honest and so that's a big moment and then I just have them turn to moment and then I just have them turn to moment and then I just have them turn to two to three people and just say drop it two to three people and just say drop it two to three people and just say drop it like a bomb I say I you know don't don't like a bomb I say I you know don't don't like a bomb I say I you know don't don't drag this out out say the real hard drag this out out say the real hard drag this out out say the real hard truth don't beat around the bush say the truth don't beat around the bush say the truth don't beat around the bush say the thing that you're scared to say and then thing that you're scared to say and then thing that you're scared to say and then Romans 81 there's there for now no Romans 81 there's there for now no Romans 81 there's there for now no condemnation for those who are in Christ condemnation for those who are in Christ condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and that's the only thing really Jesus and that's the only thing really Jesus and that's the only thing really that I encourage them to speak over each that I encourage them to speak over each that I encourage them to speak over each other when they hear so who are they other when they hear so who are they other when they hear so who are they saying this to just their friends just saying this to just their friends just saying this to just their friends just their roommates just their whoever they their roommates just their whoever they their roommates just their whoever they came with you know they're same gender I came with you know they're same gender I came with you know they're same gender I always emphasize that you're gonna turn always emphasize that you're gonna turn always emphasize that you're gonna turn no more than three people and they do it no more than three people and they do it no more than three people and they do it it's pretty cool like they I mean I it's pretty cool like they I mean I it's pretty cool like they I mean I don't know like I I haven't been in the don't know like I I haven't been in the don't know like I I haven't been in the audience to do this but I would say I audience to do this but I would say I audience to do this but I would say I would be intimidating and I think they would be intimidating and I think they would be intimidating and I think they are ready that's the thing I would say are ready that's the thing I would say are ready that's the thing I would say about this generation is just they want about this generation is just they want about this generation is just they want to be free they're so sick of the to be free they're so sick of the to be free they're so sick of the bondage like the numbers are depressing bondage like the numbers are depressing bondage like the numbers are depressing and the numbers are real the addiction and the numbers are real the addiction and the numbers are real the addiction that that we're watching in this that that we're watching in this that that we're watching in this generation they're they're isolated

  12. generation they're they're isolated generation they're they're isolated they're anxious they're addicted and they're anxious they're addicted and they're anxious they're addicted and that's all real and JP and I and Tanya that's all real and JP and I and Tanya that's all real and JP and I and Tanya we experienced that over and over again we experienced that over and over again we experienced that over and over again we're never going to argue with a we're never going to argue with a we're never going to argue with a darkness of this generation and what darkness of this generation and what darkness of this generation and what they're up against but the darkness they're up against but the darkness they're up against but the darkness they're up against is actually causing they're up against is actually causing they're up against is actually causing them to feel such hopelessness that they them to feel such hopelessness that they them to feel such hopelessness that they are willing to surrender and they are are willing to surrender and they are are willing to surrender and they are willing it's almost like I think it's a willing it's almost like I think it's a willing it's almost like I think it's a huge exercise in trust right from the huge exercise in trust right from the huge exercise in trust right from the moment that we get up there it's like moment that we get up there it's like moment that we get up there it's like trust us and go on this journey with us trust us and go on this journey with us trust us and go on this journey with us and let's see if you don't walk out more and let's see if you don't walk out more and let's see if you don't walk out more free and it's amazing I mean they do and free and it's amazing I mean they do and free and it's amazing I mean they do and it's a huge vulnerable moment when JP it's a huge vulnerable moment when JP it's a huge vulnerable moment when JP shares the gospel and people walk shares the gospel and people walk shares the gospel and people walk forward I mean they're getting up out of forward I mean they're getting up out of forward I mean they're getting up out of their seat to respond to Jesus these are their seat to respond to Jesus these are their seat to respond to Jesus these are old school things people are I mean it old school things people are I mean it old school things people are I mean it but it's always Brave right it's always but it's always Brave right it's always but it's always Brave right it's always Brave to to name your sin it's always Brave to to name your sin it's always Brave to to name your sin it's always Brave to stand up out of your seat and Brave to stand up out of your seat and Brave to stand up out of your seat and to walk forward it's always Brave to be to walk forward it's always Brave to be to walk forward it's always Brave to be baptized in front of your friends and baptized in front of your friends and baptized in front of your friends and say I'm gonna follow Jesus and the say I'm gonna follow Jesus and the say I'm gonna follow Jesus and the campus watch you you know I mean these campus watch you you know I mean these campus watch you you know I mean these are these are incredibly courageous are these are incredibly courageous are these are incredibly courageous steps that God is blessing and they're steps that God is blessing and they're steps that God is blessing and they're they you know when we just preach if we they you know when we just preach if we they you know when we just preach if we were to take out all the elements of were to take out all the elements of were to take out all the elements of response that we have throughout the response that we have throughout the response that we have throughout the night and Tanya has one too at the night and Tanya has one too at the night and Tanya has one too at the beginning where she has people hold up beginning where she has people hold up beginning where she has people hold up their lights if they feel anxious if their lights if they feel anxious if their lights if they feel anxious if they feel um discouraged whatever so we they feel um discouraged whatever so we they feel um discouraged whatever so we have all these elements of response if have all these elements of response if have all these elements of response if we take all that out it would be we take all that out it would be we take all that out it would be different and the reason it would be different and the reason it would be different and the reason it would be different is because they wouldn't be different is because they wouldn't be different is because they wouldn't be required to do anything and I think required to do anything and I think required to do anything and I think something about their involvement in the

  13. something about their involvement in the something about their involvement in the night and the the way they have to show night and the the way they have to show night and the the way they have to show up it's really it it helps them up it's really it it helps them up it's really it it helps them personally fight the enemy oh that's personally fight the enemy oh that's personally fight the enemy oh that's interesting so it's not just hear a interesting so it's not just hear a interesting so it's not just hear a message on confession go home do your message on confession go home do your message on confession go home do your thing it's thing it's thing it's participation JP any thoughts on that participation JP any thoughts on that participation JP any thoughts on that and then I got a followup for for you uh and then I got a followup for for you uh and then I got a followup for for you uh specifically you I think liturgy means specifically you I think liturgy means specifically you I think liturgy means of the people and I I was raised of the people and I I was raised of the people and I I was raised Catholic so grew up Catholic school for Catholic so grew up Catholic school for Catholic so grew up Catholic school for nine years alter boy and so church for nine years alter boy and so church for nine years alter boy and so church for me looked like kneeling down standing up me looked like kneeling down standing up me looked like kneeling down standing up you know sitting down kneeling standing you know sitting down kneeling standing you know sitting down kneeling standing again standing to kneeling you know ginu again standing to kneeling you know ginu again standing to kneeling you know ginu flecting making the sign of the cross flecting making the sign of the cross flecting making the sign of the cross there's a lot of movement in a um in a there's a lot of movement in a um in a there's a lot of movement in a um in a service and as if you look at church service and as if you look at church service and as if you look at church history I think a lot of that happened history I think a lot of that happened history I think a lot of that happened slowly I mean it happened where at this slowly I mean it happened where at this slowly I mean it happened where at this time of the service people just start time of the service people just start time of the service people just start kneeling and then they kind of formalize kneeling and then they kind of formalize kneeling and then they kind of formalize that now this is the time where we kneel that now this is the time where we kneel that now this is the time where we kneel and and um you know the danger is what and and um you know the danger is what and and um you know the danger is what we're doing is if it just becomes we're doing is if it just becomes we're doing is if it just becomes routine right uh I think there has to be routine right uh I think there has to be routine right uh I think there has to be this dependence this yielding to the this dependence this yielding to the this dependence this yielding to the spirit being open to doing whatever God spirit being open to doing whatever God spirit being open to doing whatever God wants to do and that's how the whole wants to do and that's how the whole wants to do and that's how the whole baptism started I mean none of us baptism started I mean none of us baptism started I mean none of us planned a baptism you know and now it's planned a baptism you know and now it's planned a baptism you know and now it's such a part of unite and so I think um I such a part of unite and so I think um I such a part of unite and so I think um I just agree with my sister that that you just agree with my sister that that you just agree with my sister that that you know calling the people to know calling the people to know calling the people to respond even as she's sharing I'm like respond even as she's sharing I'm like respond even as she's sharing I'm like oh I need to I need to think about how oh I need to I need to think about how oh I need to I need to think about how to do that in the Christmas Eve service to do that in the Christmas Eve service to do that in the Christmas Eve service you know give people an opportunity to

  14. you know give people an opportunity to you know give people an opportunity to respond but these are old school ideas respond but these are old school ideas respond but these are old school ideas like she said and uh we're you know like she said and uh we're you know like she said and uh we're you know there's nothing new Under the Sun but it there's nothing new Under the Sun but it there's nothing new Under the Sun but it just seems like that's what the spirit just seems like that's what the spirit just seems like that's what the spirit of God is doing right now so JP and of God is doing right now so JP and of God is doing right now so JP and Jenny feel free to chime in on this as Jenny feel free to chime in on this as Jenny feel free to chime in on this as well but you've been ministering to well but you've been ministering to well but you've been ministering to young adults now for years right this young adults now for years right this young adults now for years right this isn't you started with Millennials now isn't you started with Millennials now isn't you started with Millennials now it's sort of and you're still it's sort of and you're still it's sort of and you're still ministering to Millennials but it's it's ministering to Millennials but it's it's ministering to Millennials but it's it's morph to to gen Z are you morph to to gen Z are you morph to to gen Z are you noticing anything different let's let's noticing anything different let's let's noticing anything different let's let's start very broad between say NextGen start very broad between say NextGen start very broad between say NextGen Ministry 10 years ago nextg Ministry Ministry 10 years ago nextg Ministry Ministry 10 years ago nextg Ministry today what are the differences what are today what are the differences what are today what are the differences what are the similarities yeah I think just as the similarities yeah I think just as the similarities yeah I think just as like as technology changes you know I like as technology changes you know I like as technology changes you know I think the and I'll keep again to use a think the and I'll keep again to use a think the and I'll keep again to use a spiritual warfare term you the spiritual warfare term you the spiritual warfare term you the strongholds change generation to strongholds change generation to strongholds change generation to generation and then there's similarities generation and then there's similarities generation and then there's similarities that are always there like what I see in that are always there like what I see in that are always there like what I see in the gospels is Jesus dealing with young the gospels is Jesus dealing with young the gospels is Jesus dealing with young adults ministering to young adults adults ministering to young adults adults ministering to young adults ministering with young adults and them ministering with young adults and them ministering with young adults and them asking him nine times which of us is the asking him nine times which of us is the asking him nine times which of us is the greatest who can consider it your right greatest who can consider it your right greatest who can consider it your right and your left and your glory uh I mean and your left and your glory uh I mean and your left and your glory uh I mean there's a narcissism that marked that there's a narcissism that marked that there's a narcissism that marked that generation that you know you would say generation that you know you would say generation that you know you would say was prevalent in Millennials and now you was prevalent in Millennials and now you was prevalent in Millennials and now you still see it in gen Z and gen Alpha and still see it in gen Z and gen Alpha and still see it in gen Z and gen Alpha and and so there's there's similarities and so there's there's similarities and so there's there's similarities across the board and then I just think across the board and then I just think across the board and then I just think you know as you you know people ask me you know as you you know people ask me you know as you you know people ask me you know how do you share the gospel you know how do you share the gospel you know how do you share the gospel with someone with this struggle how do I with someone with this struggle how do I with someone with this struggle how do I share the gospel with a family member share the gospel with a family member share the gospel with a family member how do I share the gospel with someone

  15. how do I share the gospel with someone how do I share the gospel with someone with this cult background and you know with this cult background and you know with this cult background and you know the gospel is always the gospel and so the gospel is always the gospel and so the gospel is always the gospel and so is we have to make sure that we're we're is we have to make sure that we're we're is we have to make sure that we're we're clearly articulating the Saving Grace of clearly articulating the Saving Grace of clearly articulating the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ and giving people a res an Jesus Christ and giving people a res an Jesus Christ and giving people a res an opportunity to respond to it now can we opportunity to respond to it now can we opportunity to respond to it now can we get better in our tactics by get better in our tactics by get better in our tactics by understanding the challenges of the day understanding the challenges of the day understanding the challenges of the day yes but does that message you know need yes but does that message you know need yes but does that message you know need to stay the same the method can change to stay the same the method can change to stay the same the method can change but the message never does and and so I but the message never does and and so I but the message never does and and so I think what changes generation to think what changes generation to think what changes generation to generation are the struggles uh the generation are the struggles uh the generation are the struggles uh the unique strongholds the things the way unique strongholds the things the way unique strongholds the things the way that they're birthed in through a that they're birthed in through a that they're birthed in through a specific technology or specific social specific technology or specific social specific technology or specific social media or or a specific trend of that media or or a specific trend of that media or or a specific trend of that time and yet we're still armed with the time and yet we're still armed with the time and yet we're still armed with the the same uh anecdote uh antidote rather the same uh anecdote uh antidote rather the same uh anecdote uh antidote rather if you will um with the the Gospel of if you will um with the the Gospel of if you will um with the the Gospel of Jesus Christ so totally understand that Jesus Christ so totally understand that Jesus Christ so totally understand that can you explain some of the presenting can you explain some of the presenting can you explain some of the presenting issues some of the strongholds some of issues some of the strongholds some of issues some of the strongholds some of the the particular particular struggles the the particular particular struggles the the particular particular struggles that might have shifted in in the last that might have shifted in in the last that might have shifted in in the last 10 years or so yeah I think we're 10 years or so yeah I think we're 10 years or so yeah I think we're sitting in the results of of a low ask sitting in the results of of a low ask sitting in the results of of a low ask of people and and so when we have of people and and so when we have of people and and so when we have managed perception so if you look at the managed perception so if you look at the managed perception so if you look at the if you look at the first five books of if you look at the first five books of if you look at the first five books of Acts really the first four books of Acts Acts really the first four books of Acts Acts really the first four books of Acts it's like the Holy Spirit comes and it's like the Holy Spirit comes and it's like the Holy Spirit comes and you're going to be my Witnesses and you're going to be my Witnesses and you're going to be my Witnesses and Jerusalem Judea Samaria ends of the

  16. Jerusalem Judea Samaria ends of the Jerusalem Judea Samaria ends of the Earth and and the church's birth for and Earth and and the church's birth for and Earth and and the church's birth for and people are in prison but then thousands people are in prison but then thousands people are in prison but then thousands get saved and they break out of prison get saved and they break out of prison get saved and they break out of prison break out of jail and then thousands get break out of jail and then thousands get break out of jail and then thousands get saved and then thousands more get saved saved and then thousands more get saved saved and then thousands more get saved and it's just like this you just see and it's just like this you just see and it's just like this you just see momentum momentum momentum momentum you momentum momentum momentum momentum you momentum momentum momentum momentum you get to Acts chapter 5 and everything get to Acts chapter 5 and everything get to Acts chapter 5 and everything comes to a screeching halt with one comes to a screeching halt with one comes to a screeching halt with one power couple named ananas and Safar and power couple named ananas and Safar and power couple named ananas and Safar and they just saw Barnabas you know give you they just saw Barnabas you know give you they just saw Barnabas you know give you know sell a field and and give the money know sell a field and and give the money know sell a field and and give the money to the church and then they bring the to the church and then they bring the to the church and then they bring the money to Peter and they say we sold a money to Peter and they say we sold a money to Peter and they say we sold a field here's here's the money from that field here's here's the money from that field here's here's the money from that field and he says is this all the money field and he says is this all the money field and he says is this all the money you received and they Sayes and and you received and they Sayes and and you received and they Sayes and and ananas dies right there and then saf ananas dies right there and then saf ananas dies right there and then saf comes in he says is this the money and comes in he says is this the money and comes in he says is this the money and and she says yes and he says the same and she says yes and he says the same and she says yes and he says the same men who carried out your husband's dead men who carried out your husband's dead men who carried out your husband's dead body are going to carry you out and it's body are going to carry you out and it's body are going to carry you out and it's so graphic man and you're just like what so graphic man and you're just like what so graphic man and you're just like what is going on why is this in my Bible and is going on why is this in my Bible and is going on why is this in my Bible and it's because I think they were manage I it's because I think they were manage I it's because I think they were manage I know that they lied they were dishonest know that they lied they were dishonest know that they lied they were dishonest they lied to the spirit it says but but they lied to the spirit it says but but they lied to the spirit it says but but they were managing ing perception they they were managing ing perception they they were managing ing perception they wanted the appearance of of being more wanted the appearance of of being more wanted the appearance of of being more holy than what they are and I think this holy than what they are and I think this holy than what they are and I think this is you know parents saying hey we're is you know parents saying hey we're is you know parents saying hey we're going to go to church or you need to put going to go to church or you need to put going to go to church or you need to put on your Christmas best or we're going to on your Christmas best or we're going to on your Christmas best or we're going to go at Christmas and Easter and hey this go at Christmas and Easter and hey this go at Christmas and Easter and hey this is important to us but not living as is important to us but not living as is important to us but not living as though it's important you're you're though it's important you're you're though it's important you're you're going to raise uh a you know someone going to raise uh a you know someone going to raise uh a you know someone that just has no interest in the that just has no interest in the that just has no interest in the counterfeit and so that's the trend counterfeit and so that's the trend counterfeit and so that's the trend right now if I was to put a word on it's

  17. right now if I was to put a word on it's right now if I was to put a word on it's like they just have no no interest in in like they just have no no interest in in like they just have no no interest in in pretending you know and so if you if pretending you know and so if you if pretending you know and so if you if there's a woman on stage uh teaching there's a woman on stage uh teaching there's a woman on stage uh teaching powerfully the word of God and saying powerfully the word of God and saying powerfully the word of God and saying you can say right now the worst thing you can say right now the worst thing you can say right now the worst thing you've ever done and we're going to love you've ever done and we're going to love you've ever done and we're going to love you in spite of it and that and and you in spite of it and that and and you in spite of it and that and and you're not going to tell anything to God you're not going to tell anything to God you're not going to tell anything to God that he's unaware of you know and that he's unaware of you know and that he's unaware of you know and they're they're they're grabbing these they're they're they're grabbing these they're they're they're grabbing these Concepts and they're like whoa you know Concepts and they're like whoa you know Concepts and they're like whoa you know I think that's that's what I would say I think that's that's what I would say I think that's that's what I would say is just like it's this they have no is just like it's this they have no is just like it's this they have no tolerance for the counterfeit yeah and tolerance for the counterfeit yeah and tolerance for the counterfeit yeah and and there was remnants of that in in the and there was remnants of that in in the and there was remnants of that in in the past generation too so it's not past generation too so it's not past generation too so it's not altogether different that's where I altogether different that's where I altogether different that's where I Stumble a little bit over my words is Stumble a little bit over my words is Stumble a little bit over my words is like I don't think this is like the like I don't think this is like the like I don't think this is like the newest newest newest craziest so much of even as I look at craziest so much of even as I look at craziest so much of even as I look at you know some of what you put out Carrie you know some of what you put out Carrie you know some of what you put out Carrie it's trends like it's a it's a it's trends like it's a it's a it's trends like it's a it's a trajectory it's like a movement it's the trajectory it's like a movement it's the trajectory it's like a movement it's the same path it's just going somewhere and same path it's just going somewhere and same path it's just going somewhere and uh and so in in a lot of ways uh gen Z uh and so in in a lot of ways uh gen Z uh and so in in a lot of ways uh gen Z is just further down the path that is just further down the path that is just further down the path that Millennials were working were Millennials were working were Millennials were working were walking yeah I totally agree with that walking yeah I totally agree with that walking yeah I totally agree with that JP I think there is a hunger I think JP I think there is a hunger I think JP I think there is a hunger I think we're so over it I think what Co did we're so over it I think what Co did we're so over it I think what Co did that's such a gift is the games were that's such a gift is the games were that's such a gift is the games were over it was like we don't care like we over it was like we don't care like we over it was like we don't care like we just life feels weird I mean there's all just life feels weird I mean there's all just life feels weird I mean there's all these UFO drone things flying around the these UFO drone things flying around the these UFO drone things flying around the sky right now everybody's just like sky right now everybody's just like sky right now everybody's just like whatever you know I mean it's whatever whatever you know I mean it's whatever whatever you know I mean it's whatever there's just a weird

  18. there's just a weird there's just a weird resilience and also a like a surrender resilience and also a like a surrender resilience and also a like a surrender in everybody right now that's just I in everybody right now that's just I in everybody right now that's just I want if if it's real I want it if it's want if if it's real I want it if it's want if if it's real I want it if it's not I I'm tired of pretending and I not I I'm tired of pretending and I not I I'm tired of pretending and I think that's really helpful for the think that's really helpful for the think that's really helpful for the gospel in the church I think it's a gospel in the church I think it's a gospel in the church I think it's a healthy move but I think it does what healthy move but I think it does what healthy move but I think it does what what JP's saying is it requires things what JP's saying is it requires things what JP's saying is it requires things of us it requires a laying down of of of us it requires a laying down of of of us it requires a laying down of of our ways and our our Idols I mean the our ways and our our Idols I mean the our ways and our our Idols I mean the it's like God will either purify you and it's like God will either purify you and it's like God will either purify you and purify the church or you know you can do purify the church or you know you can do purify the church or you know you can do it you can you can confess your sin you it you can you can confess your sin you it you can you can confess your sin you can make it right you know for anybody can make it right you know for anybody can make it right you know for anybody listening that's afraid of being found listening that's afraid of being found listening that's afraid of being found out be like these college kids like just out be like these college kids like just out be like these college kids like just be found out just say it you know I it be found out just say it you know I it be found out just say it you know I it was just at prison the same things was just at prison the same things was just at prison the same things happen there and these are you know happen there and these are you know happen there and these are you know women that you I've watched the prison women that you I've watched the prison women that you I've watched the prison movies if they share their stuff like it movies if they share their stuff like it movies if they share their stuff like it can be used against them and in in that can be used against them and in in that can be used against them and in in that place and so they did it though and it place and so they did it though and it place and so they did it though and it was so brave and I just I just think was so brave and I just I just think was so brave and I just I just think when you finally get to a place where when you finally get to a place where when you finally get to a place where you really just don't have anything left you really just don't have anything left you really just don't have anything left to lose I think that's a really great to lose I think that's a really great to lose I think that's a really great moment for God to intervene and to make moment for God to intervene and to make moment for God to intervene and to make himself real and I think that's what himself real and I think that's what himself real and I think that's what we're watching around we're watching around we're watching around us what surprises you most about what us what surprises you most about what us what surprises you most about what you're witnessing Jenny what surprises you're witnessing Jenny what surprises you're witnessing Jenny what surprises you most and then JP want to hear from you most and then JP want to hear from you most and then JP want to hear from you you know I told somebody it's the

  19. you you know I told somebody it's the you you know I told somebody it's the the pure-hearted the pure-hearted the pure-hearted Zeal I see in them that they really want Zeal I see in them that they really want Zeal I see in them that they really want to get right I mean they stand up in our to get right I mean they stand up in our to get right I mean they stand up in our truck beds where we baptized or in our truck beds where we baptized or in our truck beds where we baptized or in our fountains where we baptize and you get fountains where we baptize and you get fountains where we baptize and you get face to face with them and they say face to face with them and they say face to face with them and they say words like I just they say this often I words like I just they say this often I words like I just they say this often I just want to be clean it's so simple I just want to be clean it's so simple I just want to be clean it's so simple I think we've got to keep it simple and think we've got to keep it simple and think we've got to keep it simple and and not over complicate it for people I and not over complicate it for people I and not over complicate it for people I love what JP said earlier of just the love what JP said earlier of just the love what JP said earlier of just the gospel it's just the gospel is the same gospel it's just the gospel is the same gospel it's just the gospel is the same all the generations have been broken all all the generations have been broken all all the generations have been broken all the generations have had their struggles the generations have had their struggles the generations have had their struggles and their sin yeah maybe they're and their sin yeah maybe they're and their sin yeah maybe they're slightly different but really read back slightly different but really read back slightly different but really read back into Corinth they're not that different into Corinth they're not that different into Corinth they're not that different like these are the same things and so like these are the same things and so like these are the same things and so you know I I I'm kind of someone who I'm you know I I I'm kind of someone who I'm you know I I I'm kind of someone who I'm interested in that but not that much interested in that but not that much interested in that but not that much because I just think our job is clear because I just think our job is clear because I just think our job is clear and simple and it's always been the the and simple and it's always been the the and simple and it's always been the the same and people are people and at some same and people are people and at some same and people are people and at some point in their life they will hit a point in their life they will hit a point in their life they will hit a place of hopelessness and so the gospel place of hopelessness and so the gospel place of hopelessness and so the gospel is dear to them and the gospel is real is dear to them and the gospel is real is dear to them and the gospel is real to them and that's my story you know so to them and that's my story you know so to them and that's my story you know so I think you know I do believe in some I think you know I do believe in some I think you know I do believe in some ways I'm not that surprised I think the ways I'm not that surprised I think the ways I'm not that surprised I think the most surprising thing is that it keeps most surprising thing is that it keeps most surprising thing is that it keeps happening in Mass form everywhere we're happening in Mass form everywhere we're happening in Mass form everywhere we're going which then does move to not just a going which then does move to not just a going which then does move to not just a personal issue it moves to a personal issue it moves to a personal issue it moves to a generational issue M that there really generational issue M that there really generational issue M that there really is right now A currently I believe a is right now A currently I believe a is right now A currently I believe a desperation and a hopelessness in their desperation and a hopelessness in their desperation and a hopelessness in their generation I'll say what's most

  20. generation I'll say what's most generation I'll say what's most surprising to me and then what I think surprising to me and then what I think surprising to me and then what I think would be most surprising to uh your would be most surprising to uh your would be most surprising to uh your listeners and viewers um the the most listeners and viewers um the the most listeners and viewers um the the most surprising thing to me is my involvement surprising thing to me is my involvement surprising thing to me is my involvement and so I'm just like we're going to and so I'm just like we're going to and so I'm just like we're going to these places you know College college these places you know College college these places you know College college isn't a big part of my story and so it's isn't a big part of my story and so it's isn't a big part of my story and so it's like I I really have a a lot of like I I really have a a lot of like I I really have a a lot of ignorance tied to it I mean I mean Jenny ignorance tied to it I mean I mean Jenny ignorance tied to it I mean I mean Jenny was a you know cheerleader in college was a you know cheerleader in college was a you know cheerleader in college and and her husband was an athlete and and and her husband was an athlete and and and her husband was an athlete and so they kind of had the normal college so they kind of had the normal college so they kind of had the normal college life for me it's like hey we're going to life for me it's like hey we're going to life for me it's like hey we're going to SC SEC schools it's like I'm not even SC SEC schools it's like I'm not even SC SEC schools it's like I'm not even sure I'm saying that acronym correctly sure I'm saying that acronym correctly sure I'm saying that acronym correctly and I don't even know what it means uh and I don't even know what it means uh and I don't even know what it means uh you know it's like that it just is like you know it's like that it just is like you know it's like that it just is like and so that that we're going there and and so that that we're going there and and so that that we're going there and that and it does feel so significant and that and it does feel so significant and that and it does feel so significant and I'm you know it's weird to say that but I'm you know it's weird to say that but I'm you know it's weird to say that but it does it feels like you're just in it does it feels like you're just in it does it feels like you're just in this in the middle of this powerful this in the middle of this powerful this in the middle of this powerful movement of God and I'm just like man movement of God and I'm just like man movement of God and I'm just like man why me but I think the thing that would why me but I think the thing that would why me but I think the thing that would surprise you know others the most is surprise you know others the most is surprise you know others the most is that we are like if you think of a that we are like if you think of a that we are like if you think of a sentence we're the capital letter at the sentence we're the capital letter at the sentence we're the capital letter at the beginning not the punctuation at the end beginning not the punctuation at the end beginning not the punctuation at the end the The Passion of unite us is really the The Passion of unite us is really the The Passion of unite us is really plugging in these students to the local plugging in these students to the local plugging in these students to the local church and so there's a partnership with church and so there's a partnership with church and so there's a partnership with the local churches at their universities the local churches at their universities the local churches at their universities so that we are not coming in flying by so that we are not coming in flying by so that we are not coming in flying by night you know some emotion night you know some emotion night you know some emotion uh event that people are just talking uh event that people are just talking uh event that people are just talking about the next week and then moving on about the next week and then moving on about the next week and then moving on to you know the the next fraternity

  21. to you know the the next fraternity to you know the the next fraternity party they there is someone that stays party they there is someone that stays party they there is someone that stays up all night a team of people that stays up all night a team of people that stays up all night a team of people that stays up all night plugging in these college up all night plugging in these college up all night plugging in these college students to to Pastors in their local students to to Pastors in their local students to to Pastors in their local communities who follow up with them the communities who follow up with them the communities who follow up with them the next day invite them to church sit with next day invite them to church sit with next day invite them to church sit with them plug them in give them a pathway of them plug them in give them a pathway of them plug them in give them a pathway of discipleship and so that's what's so fun discipleship and so that's what's so fun discipleship and so that's what's so fun is when you leave it's like we saw God is when you leave it's like we saw God is when you leave it's like we saw God move but we know he's just beginning move but we know he's just beginning move but we know he's just beginning like it's just the beginning of the life like it's just the beginning of the life like it's just the beginning of the life change in that person's life not the end change in that person's life not the end change in that person's life not the end it's not the punctuation like oh they it's not the punctuation like oh they it's not the punctuation like oh they just have this story that they got just have this story that they got just have this story that they got baptized one crazy night it really is baptized one crazy night it really is baptized one crazy night it really is like that's the beginning of my faith like that's the beginning of my faith like that's the beginning of my faith Journey so that's that actually makes me Journey so that's that actually makes me Journey so that's that actually makes me think of something else that's super fun think of something else that's super fun think of something else that's super fun and encouraging to people is we can feel and encouraging to people is we can feel and encouraging to people is we can feel it in certain towns when the church is it in certain towns when the church is it in certain towns when the church is really healthy and involved they are really healthy and involved they are really healthy and involved they are getting up to be baptized and they're getting up to be baptized and they're getting up to be baptized and they're saying I became a Christian last month saying I became a Christian last month saying I became a Christian last month because of this pastor and you it's very because of this pastor and you it's very because of this pastor and you it's very different when you're in a town where different when you're in a town where different when you're in a town where the church is working together to reach the church is working together to reach the church is working together to reach the campus where the churches are the campus where the churches are the campus where the churches are praying where the churches are believing praying where the churches are believing praying where the churches are believing God they're discipling people and you God they're discipling people and you God they're discipling people and you really I mean I I I will say a lot of really I mean I I I will say a lot of really I mean I I I will say a lot of these towns that's been the case that these towns that's been the case that these towns that's been the case that the church is really robust and healthy the church is really robust and healthy the church is really robust and healthy and that has felt I hope that encourages and that has felt I hope that encourages and that has felt I hope that encourages pastors out there that this work is is pastors out there that this work is is pastors out there that this work is is being done by you we don't need to come being done by you we don't need to come being done by you we don't need to come in like this is there have been certain in like this is there have been certain in like this is there have been certain places where we've left and been like we places where we've left and been like we places where we've left and been like we didn't even need to go there like that didn't even need to go there like that didn't even need to go there like that those churches have this and they are

  22. those churches have this and they are those churches have this and they are they have vision and they are reaching they have vision and they are reaching they have vision and they are reaching their uh their kids and it's really their uh their kids and it's really their uh their kids and it's really sweet because a lot of times the Pastors sweet because a lot of times the Pastors sweet because a lot of times the Pastors in the town will baptize beside us and in the town will baptize beside us and in the town will baptize beside us and they'll have longer lines than me and GP they'll have longer lines than me and GP they'll have longer lines than me and GP I'm just this guy is the reason like I I'm just this guy is the reason like I I'm just this guy is the reason like I love Jesus and so it's just I think love Jesus and so it's just I think love Jesus and so it's just I think actually gives me chills because I so actually gives me chills because I so actually gives me chills because I so believe in local church ministry believe in local church ministry believe in local church ministry sometimes I wonder about everything I do sometimes I wonder about everything I do sometimes I wonder about everything I do that isn't that because God was so clear that isn't that because God was so clear that isn't that because God was so clear about it so I hope that encourages about it so I hope that encourages about it so I hope that encourages pastors that wherever you are like this pastors that wherever you are like this pastors that wherever you are like this is your story too and you're a part of is your story too and you're a part of is your story too and you're a part of this Harvest as well and I hope I hope this Harvest as well and I hope I hope this Harvest as well and I hope I hope you're getting to experience it so I you're getting to experience it so I you're getting to experience it so I want to put a pin in that and come back want to put a pin in that and come back want to put a pin in that and come back to it because I think the local church to it because I think the local church to it because I think the local church angle and church attendance among gen Z angle and church attendance among gen Z angle and church attendance among gen Z is is a trend that's encouraging and is is a trend that's encouraging and is is a trend that's encouraging and then it gets a little more discouraging then it gets a little more discouraging then it gets a little more discouraging so but I don't want to I don't want to so but I don't want to I don't want to so but I don't want to I don't want to take away from the story I'm I'm in awe take away from the story I'm I'm in awe take away from the story I'm I'm in awe of what God is doing I think a lot of us of what God is doing I think a lot of us of what God is doing I think a lot of us have longed for this for a long time and have longed for this for a long time and have longed for this for a long time and to see it actually unfolding is pretty to see it actually unfolding is pretty to see it actually unfolding is pretty cool JP you got a new book out your cool JP you got a new book out your cool JP you got a new book out your story has a villain and in it you're story has a villain and in it you're story has a villain and in it you're really talking about the enemy the the really talking about the enemy the the really talking about the enemy the the the work of the evil one um I think you the work of the evil one um I think you the work of the evil one um I think you mentioned Deliverance earlier can you mentioned Deliverance earlier can you mentioned Deliverance earlier can you talk about how jenz is is is seeing evil talk about how jenz is is is seeing evil talk about how jenz is is is seeing evil and what role that might be playing in and what role that might be playing in and what role that might be playing in in their lives and their desire to see a in their lives and their desire to see a in their lives and their desire to see a change yeah there's um I mean change yeah there's um I mean change yeah there's um I mean there's what one thing we see as we go there's what one thing we see as we go there's what one thing we see as we go to these universities I think there's to these universities I think there's to these universities I think there's unique strongholds at each one of them

  23. unique strongholds at each one of them unique strongholds at each one of them and so you know there's some if I if I and so you know there's some if I if I and so you know there's some if I if I said alcohol you know Jenny could say oh said alcohol you know Jenny could say oh said alcohol you know Jenny could say oh you know this this University and that you know this this University and that you know this this University and that one uh there were some where it's just one uh there were some where it's just one uh there were some where it's just like every other story was someone like every other story was someone like every other story was someone cutting themselves suicide ideation so cutting themselves suicide ideation so cutting themselves suicide ideation so you just see like the the unique work of you just see like the the unique work of you just see like the the unique work of the enemy and um and so this book was the enemy and um and so this book was the enemy and um and so this book was really born out of a um my lack of really born out of a um my lack of really born out of a um my lack of understanding I mean I I got saved at a understanding I mean I I got saved at a understanding I mean I I got saved at a time where I never really thought about time where I never really thought about time where I never really thought about spiritual warfare the work of the Holy spiritual warfare the work of the Holy spiritual warfare the work of the Holy Spirit what does that look like and then Spirit what does that look like and then Spirit what does that look like and then I had all of this bondage in my own life I had all of this bondage in my own life I had all of this bondage in my own life you know sexual addiction pornography you know sexual addiction pornography you know sexual addiction pornography addiction drug usage and alcoholism and addiction drug usage and alcoholism and addiction drug usage and alcoholism and materialism and greed so kind of just materialism and greed so kind of just materialism and greed so kind of just like the gamut of of sins weren't just like the gamut of of sins weren't just like the gamut of of sins weren't just like there on the peripheral of my life like there on the peripheral of my life like there on the peripheral of my life like I had given myself s over to them like I had given myself s over to them like I had given myself s over to them and then I come to this Jesus and I and then I come to this Jesus and I and then I come to this Jesus and I believe upon this narrative I really believe upon this narrative I really believe upon this narrative I really believe this guy lived a a a perfect believe this guy lived a a a perfect believe this guy lived a a a perfect life I believe he was brutally murdered life I believe he was brutally murdered life I believe he was brutally murdered on the side of the road uh through an on the side of the road uh through an on the side of the road uh through an instrument of Destruction and and placed instrument of Destruction and and placed instrument of Destruction and and placed in a grave and three days later showed in a grave and three days later showed in a grave and three days later showed back up and I I'm just like I believe back up and I I'm just like I believe back up and I I'm just like I believe that's true and I want to change like that's true and I want to change like that's true and I want to change like how do I and I and I would get stuck in how do I and I and I would get stuck in how do I and I and I would get stuck in between well the spirit of God has to between well the spirit of God has to between well the spirit of God has to change you it's surrender and you know change you it's surrender and you know change you it's surrender and you know what is my part and between those two what is my part and between those two what is my part and between those two things I just would get stuck I'm like things I just would get stuck I'm like things I just would get stuck I'm like what do I need to do what do I need to what do I need to do what do I need to what do I need to do what do I need to do what do I I'm you know a driven do what do I I'm you know a driven do what do I I'm you know a driven ambitious guy and trying to understand ambitious guy and trying to understand ambitious guy and trying to understand that and so I needed I needed a that and so I needed I needed a that and so I needed I needed a framework for that Carrie and so I'm

  24. framework for that Carrie and so I'm framework for that Carrie and so I'm like looking at the scripture and I'm like looking at the scripture and I'm like looking at the scripture and I'm reading Ephesians 6 and and first Peter reading Ephesians 6 and and first Peter reading Ephesians 6 and and first Peter 5 and John 10 and you know Jesus really 5 and John 10 and you know Jesus really 5 and John 10 and you know Jesus really talking about the accuser the one who talking about the accuser the one who talking about the accuser the one who seeks to steal kill and destroy and I'm seeks to steal kill and destroy and I'm seeks to steal kill and destroy and I'm like what can he do though like what are like what can he do though like what are like what can he do though like what are his limitations in my own life can he his limitations in my own life can he his limitations in my own life can he give me can answer can he make me give me can answer can he make me give me can answer can he make me depressed uh can he cause me to go back depressed uh can he cause me to go back depressed uh can he cause me to go back to to pornography uh what's what's what to to pornography uh what's what's what to to pornography uh what's what's what am I culpable for what is he responsible am I culpable for what is he responsible am I culpable for what is he responsible for and even dumb questions like am am for and even dumb questions like am am for and even dumb questions like am am is that his pronoun like is he the right is that his pronoun like is he the right is that his pronoun like is he the right thing to say like there I'm like how do thing to say like there I'm like how do thing to say like there I'm like how do I describe this and is it him or is it I describe this and is it him or is it I describe this and is it him or is it demons and if there's demons how many demons and if there's demons how many demons and if there's demons how many and you know and so really just asking and you know and so really just asking and you know and so really just asking all those questions pursuing uh the all those questions pursuing uh the all those questions pursuing uh the answers and that kind of you know answers and that kind of you know answers and that kind of you know several years of research really became several years of research really became several years of research really became this book that um you know I know that this book that um you know I know that this book that um you know I know that people want relationships book or coming people want relationships book or coming people want relationships book or coming of age book but this is like the all of age book but this is like the all of age book but this is like the all encompassing hey we have a villain and encompassing hey we have a villain and encompassing hey we have a villain and he's actively at work in our lives and he's actively at work in our lives and he's actively at work in our lives and we have to understand how we can walk in we have to understand how we can walk in we have to understand how we can walk in the victory that that Christ has for us the victory that that Christ has for us the victory that that Christ has for us it's funny you know I had a not parallel it's funny you know I had a not parallel it's funny you know I had a not parallel but similar experience with evil growing but similar experience with evil growing but similar experience with evil growing up in the church you know Evangelical up in the church you know Evangelical up in the church you know Evangelical Christian Church I always believed it Christian Church I always believed it Christian Church I always believed it was true the Bible's true but it was was true the Bible's true but it was was true the Bible's true but it was really when I stepped into Ministry that really when I stepped into Ministry that really when I stepped into Ministry that the stuff on principalities and powers the stuff on principalities and powers the stuff on principalities and powers and spiritual warfare kind of went like and spiritual warfare kind of went like and spiritual warfare kind of went like oh we're not talking 2,000 years ago oh we're not talking 2,000 years ago oh we're not talking 2,000 years ago okay this is like real very real Jenny okay this is like real very real Jenny okay this is like real very real Jenny what are you seeing in terms of even an

  28. that nothing is about spiritual warfare that nothing is about spiritual warfare and the truth is somewhere in between and the truth is somewhere in between and the truth is somewhere in between when you exhaust natural explanation when you exhaust natural explanation when you exhaust natural explanation there's probably a supernatural there's probably a supernatural there's probably a supernatural explanation the other thing you really explanation the other thing you really explanation the other thing you really touched on that I just want to see if touched on that I just want to see if touched on that I just want to see if there's anything there I'm sure there is there's anything there I'm sure there is there's anything there I'm sure there is but it's one of the church trans but it's one of the church trans but it's one of the church trans identified for 2025 that the church identified for 2025 that the church identified for 2025 that the church leader Mental Health crisis sadly is leader Mental Health crisis sadly is leader Mental Health crisis sadly is probably going to get worse before it probably going to get worse before it probably going to get worse before it gets better you're probably also seeing gets better you're probably also seeing gets better you're probably also seeing huge mental health issues with Gen Z do huge mental health issues with Gen Z do huge mental health issues with Gen Z do you want to talk about the role of you want to talk about the role of you want to talk about the role of mental health in spirituality and mental health in spirituality and mental health in spirituality and spiritual openness openness to the spiritual openness openness to the spiritual openness openness to the Christian faith the gospel that you're Christian faith the gospel that you're Christian faith the gospel that you're seeing in gen seeing in gen seeing in gen Z yeah I mean I'll jump in and just say Z yeah I mean I'll jump in and just say Z yeah I mean I'll jump in and just say I mean this is one of the ways that the I mean this is one of the ways that the I mean this is one of the ways that the enemy attacks us and I and this is the enemy attacks us and I and this is the enemy attacks us and I and this is the line that's difficult to identify even line that's difficult to identify even line that's difficult to identify even in the book as I I talk about it is it's in the book as I I talk about it is it's in the book as I I talk about it is it's hard to know like what is demon hard to know like what is demon hard to know like what is demon possession and what is schizophrenia possession and what is schizophrenia possession and what is schizophrenia what is what is the lies of the enemy what is what is the lies of the enemy what is what is the lies of the enemy and what is clinical depression and I and what is clinical depression and I and what is clinical depression and I think th those L those worlds get really think th those L those worlds get really think th those L those worlds get really overlapped and so I want to be clear and overlapped and so I want to be clear and overlapped and so I want to be clear and I'm not saying that your anxiety or your I'm not saying that your anxiety or your I'm not saying that your anxiety or your depression is certainly the result of depression is certainly the result of depression is certainly the result of your your own sin or a demon it may be your your own sin or a demon it may be your your own sin or a demon it may be the result of a brain injury or a lack the result of a brain injury or a lack the result of a brain injury or a lack of Serotonin or or any kind of of things of Serotonin or or any kind of of things of Serotonin or or any kind of of things and so we have to approach that with you and so we have to approach that with you and so we have to approach that with you know in in the physical world the know in in the physical world the know in in the physical world the emotional world and the spiritual world emotional world and the spiritual world emotional world and the spiritual world and if you just look at one of those and if you just look at one of those and if you just look at one of those three then you're you're missing three then you're you're missing three then you're you're missing something significant and I'll even add something significant and I'll even add something significant and I'll even add the spiritual world has tremendous

  29. the spiritual world has tremendous the spiritual world has tremendous implications for the emotional and the implications for the emotional and the implications for the emotional and the physical world so we have to constantly physical world so we have to constantly physical world so we have to constantly be thinking about that and you if you be thinking about that and you if you be thinking about that and you if you said well is mental health the result of said well is mental health the result of said well is mental health the result of of sin I would say of sin I would say of sin I would say absolutely from the beginning meaning absolutely from the beginning meaning absolutely from the beginning meaning it's not in heaven you know like we're it's not in heaven you know like we're it's not in heaven you know like we're not depressed in heaven and so when sin not depressed in heaven and so when sin not depressed in heaven and so when sin entered the world that's when cancer entered the world that's when cancer entered the world that's when cancer entered the world and that's when entered the world and that's when entered the world and that's when depression entered the world and that's depression entered the world and that's depression entered the world and that's when anxiety disorders entered the world when anxiety disorders entered the world when anxiety disorders entered the world and that's when schizophrenia entered and that's when schizophrenia entered and that's when schizophrenia entered the world and so for sure it's a result the world and so for sure it's a result the world and so for sure it's a result of at least that sin and so then we we of at least that sin and so then we we of at least that sin and so then we we need to think about all right what is need to think about all right what is need to think about all right what is our role as spiritual people who know our role as spiritual people who know our role as spiritual people who know the one true God in you know um the one true God in you know um the one true God in you know um displaying his kingdom being an displaying his kingdom being an displaying his kingdom being an ambassador for his kingdom here and I ambassador for his kingdom here and I ambassador for his kingdom here and I think that you know the my spiritual think that you know the my spiritual think that you know the my spiritual explanation for the trend that you're explanation for the trend that you're explanation for the trend that you're seeing carry is that the Target on the seeing carry is that the Target on the seeing carry is that the Target on the back is bigger like let not many teach back is bigger like let not many teach back is bigger like let not many teach for they will incur a stricter judgment for they will incur a stricter judgment for they will incur a stricter judgment and they will and they will and they will incur a stricter you know uh oppression incur a stricter you know uh oppression incur a stricter you know uh oppression and they will incur a stricter pursuit and they will incur a stricter pursuit and they will incur a stricter pursuit of the enemy and I if you said well of the enemy and I if you said well of the enemy and I if you said well what's the solution I I would say I what's the solution I I would say I what's the solution I I would say I think we have to make a practice of think we have to make a practice of think we have to make a practice of growing our faith in God because Jesus growing our faith in God because Jesus growing our faith in God because Jesus himself says to Peter the enemy has himself says to Peter the enemy has himself says to Peter the enemy has asked me to sift you like wheat and so asked me to sift you like wheat and so asked me to sift you like wheat and so you know if he as he was like Jesus said you know if he as he was like Jesus said you know if he as he was like Jesus said to JP hey the enemy's asked me to sift to JP hey the enemy's asked me to sift to JP hey the enemy's asked me to sift you like wheat I'd be like well did you you like wheat I'd be like well did you you like wheat I'd be like well did you say no you know all you needed to do was say no you know all you needed to do was say no you know all you needed to do was say no you cannot do that but but Jesus

  30. say no you cannot do that but but Jesus say no you cannot do that but but Jesus said so I will pray for you so that your said so I will pray for you so that your said so I will pray for you so that your faith may increase well if we turn to faith may increase well if we turn to faith may increase well if we turn to Ephesians 6 he he talks about you know Ephesians 6 he he talks about you know Ephesians 6 he he talks about you know the shield of fath faith that the shield of fath faith that the shield of fath faith that extinguishes the fiery darts of the extinguishes the fiery darts of the extinguishes the fiery darts of the enemy and so there's something to this enemy and so there's something to this enemy and so there's something to this Faith thing this trusting and belief in Faith thing this trusting and belief in Faith thing this trusting and belief in God thing that is our protection in the God thing that is our protection in the God thing that is our protection in the world and so what you're seeing and I'm world and so what you're seeing and I'm world and so what you're seeing and I'm not throwing darts at my brothers right not throwing darts at my brothers right not throwing darts at my brothers right now and sisters right now uh because I I now and sisters right now uh because I I now and sisters right now uh because I I feel it also but I think you have a lot feel it also but I think you have a lot feel it also but I think you have a lot of pastors preachers and teachers in the of pastors preachers and teachers in the of pastors preachers and teachers in the Pulpit that are lacking Faith yeah and Pulpit that are lacking Faith yeah and Pulpit that are lacking Faith yeah and we cannot we cannot do ministry but for we cannot we cannot do ministry but for we cannot we cannot do ministry but for but out of the Overflow of our own you but out of the Overflow of our own you but out of the Overflow of our own you know God ministering to us and so we're know God ministering to us and so we're know God ministering to us and so we're saying to them we have to believe and if saying to them we have to believe and if saying to them we have to believe and if we don't I'll throw this on there too we don't I'll throw this on there too we don't I'll throw this on there too and but if and if we don't we got to say and but if and if we don't we got to say and but if and if we don't we got to say that I mean you just got to you got to that I mean you just got to you got to that I mean you just got to you got to stand in the pulpit and say man I am stand in the pulpit and say man I am stand in the pulpit and say man I am struggling right now I'm struggling to struggling right now I'm struggling to struggling right now I'm struggling to believe the words on the page right now believe the words on the page right now believe the words on the page right now I'm struggling to believe the way the I'm struggling to believe the way the I'm struggling to believe the way the the way that I'm admonishing you to love the way that I'm admonishing you to love the way that I'm admonishing you to love your wife right now I've failed your wife right now I've failed your wife right now I've failed miserably at 12 hours ago or this miserably at 12 hours ago or this miserably at 12 hours ago or this morning and we just you you have to be morning and we just you you have to be morning and we just you you have to be real and that ties back to the whole j z real and that ties back to the whole j z real and that ties back to the whole j z thing too I I think that's what they're thing too I I think that's what they're thing too I I think that's what they're hungry and thirsty for Denny what are hungry and thirsty for Denny what are hungry and thirsty for Denny what are you you you seeing yeah I mean you know Mom too I seeing yeah I mean you know Mom too I seeing yeah I mean you know Mom too I mean you yeah neck deep in this mean you yeah neck deep in this mean you yeah neck deep in this generation everywhere um I I would just generation everywhere um I I would just generation everywhere um I I would just say you know the anything without faith

  39. now Jenny said earlier the thing you now Jenny said earlier the thing you know I'm like man my heart is leaping know I'm like man my heart is leaping know I'm like man my heart is leaping you know it's just getting weird out you know it's just getting weird out you know it's just getting weird out there it is getting weird out there so there it is getting weird out there so there it is getting weird out there so the part I cut out of the church Trends the part I cut out of the church Trends the part I cut out of the church Trends post I had a whole section I'm like I post I had a whole section I'm like I post I had a whole section I'm like I don't know I'm not writing a 10,000w don't know I'm not writing a 10,000w don't know I'm not writing a 10,000w book I got to I got to dial back but in book I got to I got to dial back but in book I got to I got to dial back but in the mental health section which is the the mental health section which is the the mental health section which is the fifth Trend uh and I'll publish it some fifth Trend uh and I'll publish it some fifth Trend uh and I'll publish it some other time and talk about it but I am other time and talk about it but I am other time and talk about it but I am very deeply concerned about Ai and very deeply concerned about Ai and very deeply concerned about Ai and chatbot relationships and I know that chatbot relationships and I know that chatbot relationships and I know that sounds like I'm from outer space but sounds like I'm from outer space but sounds like I'm from outer space but it's happening right now it's starting it's happening right now it's starting it's happening right now it's starting top into the headlines where you know top into the headlines where you know top into the headlines where you know 14-year-olds are committing suicide 14-year-olds are committing suicide 14-year-olds are committing suicide after falling in love with an online after falling in love with an online after falling in love with an online avatar who is very real to them and I avatar who is very real to them and I avatar who is very real to them and I think back to your points both of your think back to your points both of your think back to your points both of your points about life onlie discipleship points about life onlie discipleship points about life onlie discipleship being the best antidote to that there is being the best antidote to that there is being the best antidote to that there is something to that because in a lonely something to that because in a lonely something to that because in a lonely world I mean all the stats on gen Z are world I mean all the stats on gen Z are world I mean all the stats on gen Z are showing that they have you know sex showing that they have you know sex showing that they have you know sex later in life which is not necessarily a later in life which is not necessarily a later in life which is not necessarily a bad thing but the reasons are bad thing but the reasons are bad thing but the reasons are problematic that they're isolated problematic that they're isolated problematic that they're isolated they're out of the house less they have they're out of the house less they have they're out of the house less they have fewer friends they're lonely they're fewer friends they're lonely they're fewer friends they're lonely they're depressed and as AI comes into it like depressed and as AI comes into it like depressed and as AI comes into it like you know just dming your friends on you know just dming your friends on you know just dming your friends on Snapchat or or Tik Tok I mean that's one Snapchat or or Tik Tok I mean that's one Snapchat or or Tik Tok I mean that's one thing but but actually developing thing but but actually developing thing but but actually developing relationships with people who are not relationships with people who are not relationships with people who are not real is is I think going to be a huge real is is I think going to be a huge real is is I think going to be a huge issue that we have to confront in the issue that we have to confront in the issue that we have to confront in the next five next five next five years yeah I mean Guys these are just years yeah I mean Guys these are just years yeah I mean Guys these are just new ways of displaying old problems

  40. new ways of displaying old problems new ways of displaying old problems people are lonely people are are people are lonely people are are people are lonely people are are depressed people are hopeless you know depressed people are hopeless you know depressed people are hopeless you know this is just humans you know so I think this is just humans you know so I think this is just humans you know so I think whatever we we have in front of us you whatever we we have in front of us you whatever we we have in front of us you know put us on an island and we're gonna know put us on an island and we're gonna know put us on an island and we're gonna be addicted to it whatever it is you be addicted to it whatever it is you be addicted to it whatever it is you know and so addicted to coconuts right know and so addicted to coconuts right know and so addicted to coconuts right whatever it is it's we're gonna we're whatever it is it's we're gonna we're whatever it is it's we're gonna we're gonna try to find our comfort somewhere gonna try to find our comfort somewhere gonna try to find our comfort somewhere yeah and and I think that's you know yeah and and I think that's you know yeah and and I think that's you know what I would just say to pastors and what I would just say to pastors and what I would just say to pastors and leaders that want to see Revival that leaders that want to see Revival that leaders that want to see Revival that want this to be something that spreads want this to be something that spreads want this to be something that spreads you know into their Church you need to you know into their Church you need to you know into their Church you need to know we feel the same way I mean I pray know we feel the same way I mean I pray know we feel the same way I mean I pray on a regular basis and wonder and on a regular basis and wonder and on a regular basis and wonder and process with people how does it jump the process with people how does it jump the process with people how does it jump the river to the church like what does it river to the church like what does it river to the church like what does it look like to jump the river to the look like to jump the river to the look like to jump the river to the church we're all praying that and yeah church we're all praying that and yeah church we're all praying that and yeah and I would just say you know this one and I would just say you know this one and I would just say you know this one we've got to be willing to lay down we've got to be willing to lay down we've got to be willing to lay down anything like whatever God calls us to anything like whatever God calls us to anything like whatever God calls us to lay down and for some of you you know I lay down and for some of you you know I lay down and for some of you you know I think of the Great Book very small book think of the Great Book very small book think of the Great Book very small book called The trus and the vine every called The trus and the vine every called The trus and the vine every leader hopefully has read that it is leader hopefully has read that it is leader hopefully has read that it is have not simple way to think about have not simple way to think about have not simple way to think about Ministry in the Holy Spirit and it's Ministry in the Holy Spirit and it's Ministry in the Holy Spirit and it's basically that every Ministry needs Tris basically that every Ministry needs Tris basically that every Ministry needs Tris it needs organizational systems you got it needs organizational systems you got it needs organizational systems you got to have a parking attendant it'd be to have a parking attendant it'd be to have a parking attendant it'd be great to think about not having one and great to think about not having one and great to think about not having one and and letting go of all your control and and letting go of all your control and and letting go of all your control and just let's just follow the spirit but just let's just follow the spirit but just let's just follow the spirit but the reality is that the vine has to grow the reality is that the vine has to grow the reality is that the vine has to grow on something but then there's the vine on something but then there's the vine on something but then there's the vine and if you don't have the Vine if you and if you don't have the Vine if you and if you don't have the Vine if you don't have the spirit don't have the spirit don't have the spirit moving get on your knees like if you moving get on your knees like if you moving get on your knees like if you would say we have a lot of trellis a lot

  41. would say we have a lot of trellis a lot would say we have a lot of trellis a lot of programs a lot of structures a lot of of programs a lot of structures a lot of of programs a lot of structures a lot of Staff a lot of things that that need Staff a lot of things that that need Staff a lot of things that that need time and maintenance and money and there time and maintenance and money and there time and maintenance and money and there and you don't have a movement of the and you don't have a movement of the and you don't have a movement of the spirit get on your faces and be willing spirit get on your faces and be willing spirit get on your faces and be willing to kill anything you've got because the to kill anything you've got because the to kill anything you've got because the vine is everything the trellis is for vine is everything the trellis is for vine is everything the trellis is for the vine the structure should be for the the vine the structure should be for the the vine the structure should be for the spirit moving and so the vine is the spirit moving and so the vine is the spirit moving and so the vine is the thing and right now we're experiencing a thing and right now we're experiencing a thing and right now we're experiencing a lot of Vine and and so there's both you lot of Vine and and so there's both you lot of Vine and and so there's both you can't we can't have one and not the can't we can't have one and not the can't we can't have one and not the other but I do think that the modern other but I do think that the modern other but I do think that the modern church today has existed and put all of church today has existed and put all of church today has existed and put all of their energy in the trellis and they've their energy in the trellis and they've their energy in the trellis and they've missed the vine and I would just say missed the vine and I would just say missed the vine and I would just say repent and believe and get on your faces repent and believe and get on your faces repent and believe and get on your faces and beg the vine to come back beg the and beg the vine to come back beg the and beg the vine to come back beg the spirit to move to heal to redeem the spirit to move to heal to redeem the spirit to move to heal to redeem the broken parts don't forget that it's not broken parts don't forget that it's not broken parts don't forget that it's not a program a program should serve the a program a program should serve the a program a program should serve the spirit it isn't a program that's going spirit it isn't a program that's going spirit it isn't a program that's going to change lives it's people and the to change lives it's people and the to change lives it's people and the spirit of God through them that is going spirit of God through them that is going spirit of God through them that is going to change lives and so I you know I to change lives and so I you know I to change lives and so I you know I would just say back to your question I would just say back to your question I would just say back to your question I just think every Pastor every leader on just think every Pastor every leader on just think every Pastor every leader on Earth I'm doing the same thing with Earth I'm doing the same thing with Earth I'm doing the same thing with everything I'm doing in fact he said everything I'm doing in fact he said everything I'm doing in fact he said scrap a lot of things that you're doing scrap a lot of things that you're doing scrap a lot of things that you're doing quit doing them at if Gathering we had quit doing them at if Gathering we had quit doing them at if Gathering we had to we we took a huge Revenue risk to we we took a huge Revenue risk to we we took a huge Revenue risk because he Saidi want you to quit doing because he Saidi want you to quit doing because he Saidi want you to quit doing this this and this and that that was how this this and this and that that was how this this and this and that that was how we made our bills every year and we just we made our bills every year and we just we made our bills every year and we just stopped it and I just think there's got stopped it and I just think there's got stopped it and I just think there's got to be more of that and out of that space to be more of that and out of that space to be more of that and out of that space where we stopped things New Life grew

  42. where we stopped things New Life grew where we stopped things New Life grew and New Vision grew but we had to stop and New Vision grew but we had to stop and New Vision grew but we had to stop it before we had that and so I just it before we had that and so I just it before we had that and so I just think you know to those leaders be be think you know to those leaders be be think you know to those leaders be be brave and and don't be afraid to to brave and and don't be afraid to to brave and and don't be afraid to to Really shift things when they need to be Really shift things when they need to be Really shift things when they need to be shifted JP you're leading a local church shifted JP you're leading a local church shifted JP you're leading a local church dayto day that's your day job right your dayto day that's your day job right your dayto day that's your day job right your calling your assignment right what what calling your assignment right what what calling your assignment right what what advice do you have for church leaders advice do you have for church leaders advice do you have for church leaders listening going owned we're a lot of listening going owned we're a lot of listening going owned we're a lot of trellis not enough Vine there's a lot of trellis not enough Vine there's a lot of trellis not enough Vine there's a lot of structure just not a lot of life change structure just not a lot of life change structure just not a lot of life change and if you look at you know other stats and if you look at you know other stats and if you look at you know other stats we could have quoted in the church we could have quoted in the church we could have quoted in the church Trends churches are aging out uh I Trends churches are aging out uh I Trends churches are aging out uh I covered that last year right where you covered that last year right where you covered that last year right where you look around everyone's hair is a little look around everyone's hair is a little look around everyone's hair is a little bit grayer year after year meanwhile bit grayer year after year meanwhile bit grayer year after year meanwhile tens of thousands of of college students tens of thousands of of college students tens of thousands of of college students are flooding to uh auditoriums and and are flooding to uh auditoriums and and are flooding to uh auditoriums and and Arenas to hear the go Arenas to hear the go Arenas to hear the go how do how do they bridge that Gap so how do how do they bridge that Gap so how do how do they bridge that Gap so they at least take one or two steps they at least take one or two steps they at least take one or two steps closer other than praying other than closer other than praying other than closer other than praying other than asking God what and I know you can't asking God what and I know you can't asking God what and I know you can't bottle this right this is not exportable bottle this right this is not exportable bottle this right this is not exportable you can't manufacture it but what could you can't manufacture it but what could you can't manufacture it but what could they do yeah I was thinking about that they do yeah I was thinking about that they do yeah I was thinking about that and I and I and I you I I'm hesitant I'll say this before you I I'm hesitant I'll say this before you I I'm hesitant I'll say this before I say anything I think if you over index I say anything I think if you over index I say anything I think if you over index on any of these ingredients you it all on any of these ingredients you it all on any of these ingredients you it all together and so if I say for example you together and so if I say for example you together and so if I say for example you know pray and somebody's like there know pray and somebody's like there know pray and somebody's like there there it is like all we're going to do there it is like all we're going to do there it is like all we're going to do is pray from here on out and it's like

  43. is pray from here on out and it's like is pray from here on out and it's like that's probably the right one to error that's probably the right one to error that's probably the right one to error on and and I think you know you you will on and and I think you know you you will on and and I think you know you you will be lacking something and and so I was be lacking something and and so I was be lacking something and and so I was thinking about the formula of unite like thinking about the formula of unite like thinking about the formula of unite like I was thinking about what we're doing I was thinking about what we're doing I was thinking about what we're doing because at first you would say well because at first you would say well because at first you would say well there's not a formula it's just the there's not a formula it's just the there's not a formula it's just the spirit of God moving and then if you spirit of God moving and then if you spirit of God moving and then if you really peel it back like no there are really peel it back like no there are really peel it back like no there are some things um it's it's um well you some things um it's it's um well you some things um it's it's um well you know for starters it's it's really just know for starters it's it's really just know for starters it's it's really just you know there's we're welcoming them you know there's we're welcoming them you know there's we're welcoming them giving an them an opportunity to be giving an them an opportunity to be giving an them an opportunity to be known uh even through that little known uh even through that little known uh even through that little response at the beginning of of just hey response at the beginning of of just hey response at the beginning of of just hey where where are you struggling asking where where are you struggling asking where where are you struggling asking them that an opportunity to worship and them that an opportunity to worship and them that an opportunity to worship and and then an opportunity to confess sin and then an opportunity to confess sin and then an opportunity to confess sin and to bring it to the light and then uh and to bring it to the light and then uh and to bring it to the light and then uh and then there's evangelism like we're and then there's evangelism like we're and then there's evangelism like we're we're spelling out the gospel every way we're spelling out the gospel every way we're spelling out the gospel every way we know how and then giving an we know how and then giving an we know how and then giving an opportunity to respond to the gospel and opportunity to respond to the gospel and opportunity to respond to the gospel and then to move from that response to the then to move from that response to the then to move from that response to the gospel straight to you know the the act gospel straight to you know the the act gospel straight to you know the the act of obedience of baptism and so that's of obedience of baptism and so that's of obedience of baptism and so that's what it looks like well that that's what what it looks like well that that's what what it looks like well that that's what a church service could look like and you a church service could look like and you a church service could look like and you know one thing I'm wrestling with Carrie know one thing I'm wrestling with Carrie know one thing I'm wrestling with Carrie and Jenny I was I was up late last night and Jenny I was I was up late last night and Jenny I was I was up late last night with a friend and just trying to create with a friend and just trying to create with a friend and just trying to create those responsive moments in our service those responsive moments in our service those responsive moments in our service uh where you know before we wrap up hey uh where you know before we wrap up hey uh where you know before we wrap up hey if you if you are in a season of if you if you are in a season of if you if you are in a season of struggling right now will you just stand struggling right now will you just stand struggling right now will you just stand up and then having people stand up in up and then having people stand up in up and then having people stand up in the service and say hey if you're a the service and say hey if you're a the service and say hey if you're a Believer around someone standing would Believer around someone standing would Believer around someone standing would you just place a hand on them would you you just place a hand on them would you you just place a hand on them would you pray can we pray together well there's pray can we pray together well there's pray can we pray together well there's people listening right now leaders

  45. started I do think there is something to started I do think there is something to congregational prayer and so if we're congregational prayer and so if we're congregational prayer and so if we're looking for Trends talking about Trends looking for Trends talking about Trends looking for Trends talking about Trends studying Trends I think giving and Jenny studying Trends I think giving and Jenny studying Trends I think giving and Jenny you do this every unite it's like giving you do this every unite it's like giving you do this every unite it's like giving them time to pray and you're talking them time to pray and you're talking them time to pray and you're talking about that where they wipe their tears about that where they wipe their tears about that where they wipe their tears away I've noticed the same thing it I away I've noticed the same thing it I away I've noticed the same thing it I mean it's it's weird it's you almost mean it's it's weird it's you almost mean it's it's weird it's you almost feel like you're not getting your feel like you're not getting your feel like you're not getting your money's worth of church if you bring money's worth of church if you bring money's worth of church if you bring everybody into a room they sit down and everybody into a room they sit down and everybody into a room they sit down and you say okay I just want you to pray you say okay I just want you to pray you say okay I just want you to pray where you're at but it seems to be some where you're at but it seems to be some where you're at but it seems to be some of the most powerful works of God is in of the most powerful works of God is in of the most powerful works of God is in those spaces and maybe our world is just those spaces and maybe our world is just those spaces and maybe our world is just so busy and chaotic right now and I feel so busy and chaotic right now and I feel so busy and chaotic right now and I feel it like when in my own quiet time this it like when in my own quiet time this it like when in my own quiet time this morning I sit in my chair and I'm I've morning I sit in my chair and I'm I've morning I sit in my chair and I'm I've got to put my phone in another room uh got to put my phone in another room uh got to put my phone in another room uh because because like I will be because because like I will be because because like I will be distracted by the dog that walks by by distracted by the dog that walks by by distracted by the dog that walks by by the Sun in from behind the cloud you the Sun in from behind the cloud you the Sun in from behind the cloud you know from a a sound that I hear in the know from a a sound that I hear in the know from a a sound that I hear in the other room all of the things will just other room all of the things will just other room all of the things will just pull me out of communion and pull me out of communion and pull me out of communion and conversation with god and so maybe conversation with god and so maybe conversation with god and so maybe that's the time where they can just find that's the time where they can just find that's the time where they can just find him is when we just sit still there but him is when we just sit still there but him is when we just sit still there but that seems to be right now for such a that seems to be right now for such a that seems to be right now for such a time as this really important to give time as this really important to give time as this really important to give them space to ask God questions and to them space to ask God questions and to them space to ask God questions and to listen to listen to listen to him Jenny gather 25 talk to us about it him Jenny gather 25 talk to us about it him Jenny gather 25 talk to us about it I mean it's going to be a month away I mean it's going to be a month away I mean it's going to be a month away basically once this airs yeah uh I basically once this airs yeah uh I basically once this airs yeah uh I remember the first time you told me remember the first time you told me remember the first time you told me about it you're like I'm doing this about it you're like I'm doing this about it you're like I'm doing this impossible thing I don't even know impossible thing I don't even know impossible thing I don't even know whether it could work but it looks like whether it could work but it looks like whether it could work but it looks like it's coming it's coming it's coming together it is coming together praise

  48. are today and so the other again my are today and so the other again my great optimism coming out here the great optimism coming out here the great optimism coming out here the church has never been bigger so I don't church has never been bigger so I don't church has never been bigger so I don't care what your numbers say 2.5 billion care what your numbers say 2.5 billion care what your numbers say 2.5 billion people say they love people say they love people say they love Jesus and only a billion people were Jesus and only a billion people were Jesus and only a billion people were alive when my husband's grandfather was alive when my husband's grandfather was alive when my husband's grandfather was born so we have the church and the team born so we have the church and the team born so we have the church and the team is bigger than it has ever been now is is bigger than it has ever been now is is bigger than it has ever been now is it healthier than it's ever been it healthier than it's ever been it healthier than it's ever been absolutely not but but is it bigger than absolutely not but but is it bigger than absolutely not but but is it bigger than it's ever been yes and so I get excited it's ever been yes and so I get excited it's ever been yes and so I get excited about just watching you know the church about just watching you know the church about just watching you know the church remember its first love watching the remember its first love watching the remember its first love watching the church grow through seeing the stories church grow through seeing the stories church grow through seeing the stories of those that are being persecuted right of those that are being persecuted right of those that are being persecuted right now it just feels really really sacred now it just feels really really sacred now it just feels really really sacred and important any that we haven't said and important any that we haven't said and important any that we haven't said that needs to be said today you know that needs to be said today you know that needs to be said today you know I'll just say this like my gut in that I'll just say this like my gut in that I'll just say this like my gut in that last conversation um well first let me last conversation um well first let me last conversation um well first let me say this gather 25.com go you can say this gather 25.com go you can say this gather 25.com go you can register I would say don't hesitate to register I would say don't hesitate to register I would say don't hesitate to bring your people together around this bring your people together around this bring your people together around this it is going to shape the way your people it is going to shape the way your people it is going to shape the way your people view God moving on Earth today it is it view God moving on Earth today it is it view God moving on Earth today it is it is going to encourage the church in a is going to encourage the church in a is going to encourage the church in a really big way but the thing that I really big way but the thing that I really big way but the thing that I really feel like I don't want to leave really feel like I don't want to leave really feel like I don't want to leave without doing is just giving people a without doing is just giving people a without doing is just giving people a moment moment moment to confess and pray because I imagine to confess and pray because I imagine to confess and pray because I imagine through this conversation there have through this conversation there have through this conversation there have been points where the Holy Spirit has been points where the Holy Spirit has been points where the Holy Spirit has prompted people that they've had things prompted people that they've had things prompted people that they've had things come to their mind where they're come to their mind where they're come to their mind where they're wondering is this why my Ministry isn't

  49. wondering is this why my Ministry isn't wondering is this why my Ministry isn't very effective is this why I'm not very effective is this why I'm not very effective is this why I'm not seeing God move in a massive way and I seeing God move in a massive way and I seeing God move in a massive way and I would just say the answer to that might would just say the answer to that might would just say the answer to that might be yes and why would you not just get be yes and why would you not just get be yes and why would you not just get right with God right now and so that right with God right now and so that right with God right now and so that that was on my heart was just can we that was on my heart was just can we that was on my heart was just can we close Carrie in prayer and just give close Carrie in prayer and just give close Carrie in prayer and just give people a chance just to be made right people a chance just to be made right people a chance just to be made right with God because the reality is Revival with God because the reality is Revival with God because the reality is Revival happens in one person before it happens happens in one person before it happens happens in one person before it happens in a group of people yeah right it has in a group of people yeah right it has in a group of people yeah right it has to happen in one person before it to happen in one person before it to happen in one person before it happens in a group and so if you're happens in a group and so if you're happens in a group and so if you're praying it for your church it's got to praying it for your church it's got to praying it for your church it's got to happen in you first and so that would be happen in you first and so that would be happen in you first and so that would be just you know I think all of us have to just you know I think all of us have to just you know I think all of us have to continually come back to Jesus to be continually come back to Jesus to be continually come back to Jesus to be made right and whole yeah yeah I would made right and whole yeah yeah I would made right and whole yeah yeah I would say before that um say before that um say before that um you know Jenny and I have this debate you know Jenny and I have this debate you know Jenny and I have this debate and we it started on a on an airplane a and we it started on a on an airplane a and we it started on a on an airplane a conversation and you know I you can tell conversation and you know I you can tell conversation and you know I you can tell me if you disagree with these words me if you disagree with these words me if you disagree with these words Jenny but I think it's like um we kind Jenny but I think it's like um we kind Jenny but I think it's like um we kind of pit like the pursuit of Holiness of pit like the pursuit of Holiness of pit like the pursuit of Holiness against Grace and we were just talking against Grace and we were just talking against Grace and we were just talking about what a generation needs and um and about what a generation needs and um and about what a generation needs and um and and it's just like this like call call and it's just like this like call call and it's just like this like call call to Holiness uh versus like experiencing to Holiness uh versus like experiencing to Holiness uh versus like experiencing the grace and understanding of the grace the grace and understanding of the grace the grace and understanding of the grace of God and I think as we've it's it's of God and I think as we've it's it's of God and I think as we've it's it's been interesting because it's a been interesting because it's a been interesting because it's a conversation that we kind of pick up and conversation that we kind of pick up and conversation that we kind of pick up and put down and pick up and put down and put down and pick up and put down and put down and pick up and put down and pick up and put down and and we're pick up and put down and and we're pick up and put down and and we're probably settling and don't let me speak probably settling and don't let me speak probably settling and don't let me speak for you Jenny in a in a place where like for you Jenny in a in a place where like for you Jenny in a in a place where like it's both you know it's like they they it's both you know it's like they they it's both you know it's like they they need both it's it's for such a time as need both it's it's for such a time as need both it's it's for such a time as this to to understand that like God it's

  50. this to to understand that like God it's this to to understand that like God it's not just that he even loves you it's not just that he even loves you it's not just that he even loves you it's like he likes you like he's just he's like he likes you like he's just he's like he likes you like he's just he's he's crazy about you not a future he's crazy about you not a future he's crazy about you not a future version of you not when you get right version of you not when you get right version of you not when you get right like right now he's just wild like right now he's just wild like right now he's just wild like in love with you and I I don't want like in love with you and I I don't want like in love with you and I I don't want to I don't want to stop short of saying to I don't want to stop short of saying to I don't want to stop short of saying that because I believe it like he's in that because I believe it like he's in that because I believe it like he's in love with you he loves you and um and love with you he loves you and um and love with you he loves you and um and there is a righteous life that he calls there is a righteous life that he calls there is a righteous life that he calls you to that is a set apartness from the you to that is a set apartness from the you to that is a set apartness from the world and it's a it is a little bit of world and it's a it is a little bit of world and it's a it is a little bit of like an an odd for God kind of life it's like an an odd for God kind of life it's like an an odd for God kind of life it's it's different and um and Carrie I'm it's different and um and Carrie I'm it's different and um and Carrie I'm wrestling with it personally uh you know wrestling with it personally uh you know wrestling with it personally uh you know how different do I need to be from the how different do I need to be from the how different do I need to be from the world you know how how much worldliness world you know how how much worldliness world you know how how much worldliness can I let in like those are the those can I let in like those are the those can I let in like those are the those are my daily wrestles but I think as are my daily wrestles but I think as are my daily wrestles but I think as what worldly what' you say and what is what worldly what' you say and what is what worldly what' you say and what is worldly how do we even Define that right worldly how do we even Define that right worldly how do we even Define that right yeah yeah and so I think that um I think yeah yeah and so I think that um I think yeah yeah and so I think that um I think as we go to pray and and we talk about as we go to pray and and we talk about as we go to pray and and we talk about confession I just I don't know where confession I just I don't know where confession I just I don't know where someone's at right now I don't know if someone's at right now I don't know if someone's at right now I don't know if you need to hear like God's wildly like you need to hear like God's wildly like you need to hear like God's wildly like he's crazy about you and he loves you he's crazy about you and he loves you he's crazy about you and he loves you and he's not mad at you and you haven't and he's not mad at you and you haven't and he's not mad at you and you haven't done anything that he didn't know you done anything that he didn't know you done anything that he didn't know you were going to do before the creation the were going to do before the creation the were going to do before the creation the world so you didn't surprise him and he world so you didn't surprise him and he world so you didn't surprise him and he didn't you're not he's not disappointed didn't you're not he's not disappointed didn't you're not he's not disappointed in you because disappointment has to do in you because disappointment has to do in you because disappointment has to do with expectations and and he he's known with expectations and and he he's known with expectations and and he he's known everything from day one and and then everything from day one and and then everything from day one and and then somebody else may need to hear and God somebody else may need to hear and God somebody else may need to hear and God is calling you to a different life he's is calling you to a different life he's is calling you to a different life he's calling you to repentance he's calling calling you to repentance he's calling calling you to repentance he's calling you to bring the sin to the light uh and
