\n00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:18,280
\nI’m Levi.

3
\n00:00:18,560 –> 00:00:21,160
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek on this podcast. <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,160 –> 00:00:25,000
\nWe select one Talk a week to
\nhelp us get the Bible in our <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:27,720
\nDaily News feed.
\nWe post a new episode at the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:27,720 –> 00:00:30,440
\nstart of each week.
\nWith a short intro beforehand to<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:30,440 –> 00:00:32,800
\nkind of set the stage for the
\ntalk you’re about to listen to. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,440 –> 00:00:36,240
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,520 –> 00:00:53,440
\nHello and welcome back.
\nThis is Brother Chris. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,520 –> 00:00:56,080
\nI wanted to start real quick
\nbefore we get into the talk <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,080 –> 00:00:58,480
\nwhich we are going to be
\nlistening to from a series that <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:58,480 –> 00:01:02,320
\nBrother Matt Tuckson gave
\nearlier this year at a 25 and <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:02,320 –> 00:01:05,080
\nolder conference up in Ontario,
\nwhich is really, really <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,080 –> 00:01:07,160
\nexcellent.
\nBut before I get into telling <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:07,160 –> 00:01:10,200
\nyou why I picked this class and
\nwhy I picked the series, I also <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:12,880
\nwanted to do a programming note
\nsimilar to what Levi did a few <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:12,880 –> 00:01:15,680
\nweeks ago.
\nAnd that is that we have a new <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:15,680 –> 00:01:19,040
\nhost joining the podcast.
\nSome of you may know him. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:19,320 –> 00:01:24,240
\nFun fact, he has been a speaker
\non the podcast every season <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:24,560 –> 00:01:27,120
\nexcept for this one.
\nWe’re in the middle of the sixth<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:27,120 –> 00:01:30,080
\nseason and in our first one, and
\nthat is brother Jason Hensley. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:30,680 –> 00:01:34,720
\nSome of you may have heard his
\ntalks or may know him from doing<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:34,720 –> 00:01:37,640
\nthe Magnify Him Together podcast
\nwhere he does an end of the week<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:40,840
\nencouragement as well.
\nHe leads the Heritage School <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:43,720
\nhere down in Southern California
\nas well, so we’re really excited<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:43,720 –> 00:01:45,320
\nto have brother Jason joining
\nus. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:45,800 –> 00:01:48,720
\nI know that he, Levi and I have
\nbeen friends for many, many <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:52,680
\nyears and always stay connected
\nand it was super exciting that <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:52,680 –> 00:01:56,360
\nhe was interested and willing.
\nAnd as you will hear from him <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:56,360 –> 00:01:59,800
\nnext week that he is excited to
\nbe able to join the podcast and <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:00,120 –> 00:02:03,280
\njoin in on the rotation.
\nBrother Brian will still be in <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:03,280 –> 00:02:07,000
\nthe mix, as you heard he did his
\nclass last week. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:09,840
\nAnd so he’ll still be sprinkling
\nin here and there as he’s able <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:09,840 –> 00:02:11,920
\nto.
\nAnd so he’ll still be presents <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:11,920 –> 00:02:14,040
\non the podcast as well.
\nBut we’re excited to be able to <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:14,040 –> 00:02:17,920
\nadd Brother Jason in.
\nSo you got a month of old school<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:17,920 –> 00:02:21,800
\nwith just Levi and I alternating
\nback and forth and then we’ll <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:25,560
\nnow be able to go back to our
\nregularly scheduled programming <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:25,560 –> 00:02:28,880
\nof every three weeks.
\nWe’re excited to have Jason on. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:28,880 –> 00:02:31,720
\nI hope that you enjoy his first
\ntalk that he has picked. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:31,720 –> 00:02:35,280
\nIt’s going to be great to to
\nhave him on board with the <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:37,720
\npodcast.
\nWith that, I will do just a <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:37,720 –> 00:02:40,080
\nquick introduction into Brother
\nMatt Texan’s class. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:40,080 –> 00:02:41,960
\nThis was sent in as a
\nrecommendation. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:42,560 –> 00:02:45,560
\nThe title of this first class is
\nFaith and Anxiety and is <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:45,560 –> 00:02:48,480
\nactually the overall subject for
\nthe four classes that he gave. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:48,480 –> 00:02:51,920
\nThere were three classes with an
\nexhortation in the middle. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:52,280 –> 00:02:56,800
\nAnd what I really appreciated
\nabout this class is Brother Matt<\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:56,800 –> 00:02:58,720
\nOne.
\nHe is speaking from a place of <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:58,720 –> 00:03:02,040
\nexperience.
\nSo he is speaking from a place <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:02,040 –> 00:03:04,480
\nof struggle that he has in his
\nown life and he’s had to work <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:04,480 –> 00:03:07,360
\nthrough, which I always find to
\nbe really valuable when hearing <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:07,360 –> 00:03:10,200
\nfrom a speaker that they have
\nfirst hand experience in <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:12,320
\nwhatever topic they are teaching
\nabout. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:15,840
\nAnd that he takes a really
\npractical look at sort of the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:15,840 –> 00:03:18,080
\nstruggles you can face when you
\nhave anxiety and how that can <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:18,080 –> 00:03:20,720
\nimpact your faith.
\nIn the same way that any <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:20,920 –> 00:03:23,920
\nstruggle that you might have in
\nyour life with any sort of <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:23,920 –> 00:03:28,000
\ntemptation or sin can have an
\nimpact, but anxiety has this way<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:28,000 –> 00:03:30,760
\nof.
\nImpacting you in ways that other<\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:30,760 –> 00:03:32,960
\ntemptations and sins might not
\notherwise do. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:33,280 –> 00:03:36,440
\nSo I really appreciated this.
\nThe sister that wrote in to <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:36,440 –> 00:03:40,400
\nrecommend this really gave an
\nexcellent recommendation. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:40,400 –> 00:03:42,960
\nShe also suggested that the
\nfirst class was a great place to<\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:42,960 –> 00:03:45,480
\nstart, which hopefully in most
\nclass series it is. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:46,080 –> 00:03:47,640
\nSo I hope that you really enjoy
\nthis. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:47,640 –> 00:03:50,240
\nI found it to be a really
\npowerful one and even just <\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:50,240 –> 00:03:53,200
\napproaching it in his way of
\nlooking at how the different <\/p>\n

69
\n00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:56,000
\nstages of struggling with
\nsomething can impact you and <\/p>\n

70
\n00:03:56,000 –> 00:03:58,920
\nwhere at what stage we should be
\nfocusing our efforts. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:03:59,280 –> 00:04:00,880
\nI found to be really really
\nencouraging. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:01,280 –> 00:04:02,920
\nAll four of the classes are
\nexcellent. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:02,920 –> 00:04:05,920
\nWe will have them up on the good
\nChristadelphian Talks extended <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:05,920 –> 00:04:09,440
\npodcast feed and then in the
\nsecond class he mentions A <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:09,440 –> 00:04:11,720
\nhandout.
\nNow the second class isn’t going<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:11,720 –> 00:04:14,480
\nto be on the podcast but I will
\nmake sure to have it LinkedIn <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:14,480 –> 00:04:16,720
\nthe good Christadelphian talks
\nextended feed. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:19,320
\nSo if you want to look at the
\nhandout he represents there, I <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:19,320 –> 00:04:21,480
\nwould highly encourage take a
\nlook at it and you give it a <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:21,480 –> 00:04:23,040
\nlisten.
\nThis entire series I’d recommend<\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:25,840
\nbecause he does a very good kind
\nof systematic looking at each <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:25,840 –> 00:04:27,920
\nstep.
\nThat I found to be really <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:27,920 –> 00:04:32,000
\nencouraging and a good reminder
\nfor myself and just general <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:33,320
\nwalk.
\nAnd then also I think it is a <\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:33,320 –> 00:04:37,480
\ngood reminder for you to be able
\nto do if you or somebody you <\/p>\n

86
\n00:04:37,480 –> 00:04:40,400
\nknow struggles with some of
\nthese same types of things. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:04:40,880 –> 00:04:43,840
\nAs always, thank you for the
\nrecommendations and suggestions.<\/p>\n

88
\n00:04:43,840 –> 00:04:47,320
\nWe really, really appreciate
\nthem and I hope that you enjoy <\/p>\n

89
\n00:04:47,320 –> 00:04:51,000
\nthe first class from brother
\nMatt Tuckson on his series <\/p>\n

90
\n00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:54,600
\nentitled Faith and Anxiety.
\nSo this week and my ultimate <\/p>\n

91
\n00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:57,800
\ngoal, I’ll give you a one liner.
\nWhat is my goal for this weekend<\/p>\n

92
\n00:04:58,440 –> 00:05:02,800
\nis to show you the agency that
\nyou have in this battle so that <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:06,600
\nyou have some amount of power,
\nhave some amount of influence <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:07,880
\nover this battle.
\nIt’s not something that’s <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:07,880 –> 00:05:10,920
\nhappening to you, you’re you
\nactually get to participate in <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:10,920 –> 00:05:12,600
\nit.
\nYou get to actually fight the <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:16,000
\nbattle of anxiety actively to
\nshow you what can you do, get <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:16,040 –> 00:05:19,520
\nreally practical and what are
\nthe steps to do with anxiety. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:20,480 –> 00:05:21,640
\nWe have a lot to cover to get
\ninto that. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:22,160 –> 00:05:25,720
\nBefore I enter our series, I
\nwant to do a few discliners. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:26,920 –> 00:05:31,120
\nAnxiety has a wide range.
\nWe have a little nervous about <\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:31,520 –> 00:05:36,640
\ngiving a talk to I’m super panic
\nattack can’t function. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:05:37,520 –> 00:05:40,200
\nYou know, normal things don’t
\nreally happen to my brain <\/p>\n

104
\n00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:41,360
\nbecause I can’t function right
\nnow. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:05:42,080 –> 00:05:46,240
\nThere’s a whole range, right?
\nAnd the the lessons I’m going to<\/p>\n

106
\n00:05:46,240 –> 00:05:48,840
\nbe talking about, the principles
\nI talk about, they do apply to <\/p>\n

107
\n00:05:48,840 –> 00:05:51,040
\nthe whole range.
\nSo they’re going to apply very <\/p>\n

108
\n00:05:51,040 –> 00:05:53,560
\ndifferently and they’re going to
\nlook very different depending on<\/p>\n

109
\n00:05:53,560 –> 00:05:55,880
\nwhere in this range you kind of
\nfall. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:05:55,880 –> 00:05:58,640
\nAnd we’ll we’ll talk about the
\nnuances somewhat in the series. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:00,040 –> 00:06:02,440
\nOne thing I’m not going to get
\ntoo detailed on to is like the <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:02,440 –> 00:06:05,680
\nmedical side of anxiety of like
\nwhen to take medication and not <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:08,080
\nand things like that.
\nI do want to be very clear. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:10,760
\nI’m pro medication for the
\nextreme cases of anxiety. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:13,840
\nI take it myself sometimes.
\nI have a prescription for it. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:14,240 –> 00:06:16,480
\nI use it every now and then, but
\nI’m just not going to be getting<\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:18,960
\ninto where’s that line and the
\nnuance. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:21,480
\nMy point of that simply to say I
\nthink it should be on the table <\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:21,480 –> 00:06:23,120
\nof discussion.
\nIt’s actually going to be on the<\/p>\n

120
\n00:06:23,120 –> 00:06:24,640
\ntable of discussion on our
\ndiscussion groups. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:06:24,640 –> 00:06:26,880
\nSo I look forward to this
\nhearing that from you all. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:06:27,400 –> 00:06:30,120
\nBut I’m not going to really
\ngetting that nuance of when you <\/p>\n

123
\n00:06:30,120 –> 00:06:31,440
\ntake medication, what are you
\nnot. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:06:31,760 –> 00:06:34,120
\nI will talk about how I view it
\nin kind of a moral framework <\/p>\n

125
\n00:06:34,120 –> 00:06:36,760
\nlater on, but I’m not going to
\nbe getting into the details of <\/p>\n

126
\n00:06:36,760 –> 00:06:39,160
\nlike, well by this point you
\nshould go see a doctor. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:06:39,240 –> 00:06:41,200
\nThat’s not really what the class
\nis about. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:06:42,400 –> 00:06:44,600
\nThe other disclaimer I want to
\ndo work before we get into our <\/p>\n

129
\n00:06:44,600 –> 00:06:49,360
\nintro is the phrase easier said
\nthan done is going to be <\/p>\n

130
\n00:06:49,360 –> 00:06:51,200
\nextremely applicable to the
\nseries. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:06:51,960 –> 00:06:55,000
\nI can’t really talk about
\nanxiety, which is something that<\/p>\n

132
\n00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:58,520
\nyou might battle with your whole
\nlife in four hours and do it <\/p>\n

133
\n00:06:58,520 –> 00:07:00,400
\njustice.
\nIt’s just not a way to do that. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:00,880 –> 00:07:03,320
\nOn top of that, I’m going to be
\napproaching this on a very kind <\/p>\n

135
\n00:07:03,320 –> 00:07:07,000
\nof logical thought out process.
\nAnd anxiety is an extremely <\/p>\n

136
\n00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:10,920
\nemotional situation and it can
\ncome off really unapathetic when<\/p>\n

137
\n00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:12,960
\nI’m like, all right, here’s how
\nyou logic your way through this.<\/p>\n

138
\n00:07:13,200 –> 00:07:16,680
\nWhen I’m dealing with this
\nreally kind of volatile emotion.<\/p>\n

139
\n00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:18,640
\nAnd so my that’s not my
\nintention. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:07:18,640 –> 00:07:19,680
\nI’m going to make that very
\nclear. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:07:19,680 –> 00:07:22,800
\nMy intention is not to say,
\nwell, just think your way <\/p>\n

142
\n00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:26,200
\nthrough it, but we are going to
\nbe approaching this from a very <\/p>\n

143
\n00:07:26,200 –> 00:07:29,400
\nlogical biblical point of view.
\nIt’s not my intention. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:31,520
\nI understand that’s best not
\neasiest have been done. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:32,920
\nI’m going to reiterate that a
\nfew times. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:07:33,480 –> 00:07:35,120
\nBut I understand the challenge
\nof anxiety. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:07:35,160 –> 00:07:37,360
\nI understand it’s an emotional
\nthing, and I understand easier <\/p>\n

148
\n00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:39,320
\nsaid than done is going to be
\nreally applicable. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:41,880
\nThere’s just not a way I can
\nchange that and still go through<\/p>\n

150
\n00:07:41,880 –> 00:07:45,200
\nthis in a kind of logical,
\nanalytical way, which is what I <\/p>\n

151
\n00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:47,800
\nthink we need to do when we’re
\nnot in the state of anxiety. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:07:47,840 –> 00:07:50,760
\nWe need to be thinking of it in
\nthat kind of logical, analytical<\/p>\n

153
\n00:07:50,760 –> 00:07:53,400
\nway.
\nWhen we get into anxiety, it’s a<\/p>\n

154
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:55,760
\ndifferent story.
\nAll right, So with this <\/p>\n

155
\n00:07:55,760 –> 00:07:57,680
\ndisclaimer is out of the way,
\nwe’re going to go ahead and <\/p>\n

156
\n00:07:57,680 –> 00:08:00,160
\nintro our class or at least
\nintro our series. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:08:00,800 –> 00:08:02,680
\nSo class one is going to be Go
\nahead I. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:08:04,120 –> 00:08:06,640
\nForgot about your reading, so
\nI’m going to end up reading it <\/p>\n

159
\n00:08:06,640 –> 00:08:10,920
\nlater, so no worries.
\nSo class one is faith and <\/p>\n

160
\n00:08:10,920 –> 00:08:12,280
\nanxiety.
\nThat’s for this class. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:08:12,880 –> 00:08:17,680
\nWhat motivated this class was
\nessentially kind of both being <\/p>\n

162
\n00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:18,920
\nin.
\nFor those who don’t know, I was <\/p>\n

163
\n00:08:18,920 –> 00:08:21,160
\nin mainstream Christianity for a
\nwhile, so both being in <\/p>\n

164
\n00:08:21,160 –> 00:08:23,960
\nmainstream Christianity as well
\nas not Christadelphia. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:27,760
\nI’ve heard two different
\nstories, largely when it comes <\/p>\n

166
\n00:08:27,760 –> 00:08:31,240
\nto anxiety.
\nOne is that it’s 100% about <\/p>\n

167
\n00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:34,679
\nfaith, and if you don’t, if you
\nhave anxiety, the other reason <\/p>\n

168
\n00:08:34,679 –> 00:08:36,520
\nyou have anxiety is because you
\ndon’t believe hard enough, you <\/p>\n

169
\n00:08:36,520 –> 00:08:38,480
\ndon’t have enough faith.
\nYou need to pray more, you need <\/p>\n

170
\n00:08:38,480 –> 00:08:40,640
\nto believe harder.
\nThat’s the solution to anxiety, <\/p>\n

171
\n00:08:40,640 –> 00:08:42,799
\nand it’s entirely focused on
\nthat. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:08:42,799 –> 00:08:45,960
\nAnxiety equals bad faith, and
\nit’s just that kind of blunt and<\/p>\n

173
\n00:08:45,960 –> 00:08:48,960
\nsimple and kind of extreme.
\nThen there’s the reaction to <\/p>\n

174
\n00:08:48,960 –> 00:08:52,200
\nthat, which is that anxiety is
\nentirely a medical problem. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:08:52,280 –> 00:08:55,320
\nThere’s nothing about faith.
\nIt’s like the mental equivalent <\/p>\n

176
\n00:08:55,320 –> 00:08:57,480
\nto breaking a bone.
\nYou need to go to the doctor for<\/p>\n

177
\n00:08:57,480 –> 00:08:59,320
\nit, and that’s how you deal with
\nyour anxieties through <\/p>\n

178
\n00:08:59,320 –> 00:09:01,240
\nmedication.
\nIt’s through therapy and things <\/p>\n

179
\n00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:02,440
\nlike that.
\nIt’s not about faith. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:09:03,640 –> 00:09:06,040
\nThe Bible doesn’t agree with
\nreally either of those. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:09:06,040 –> 00:09:09,200
\nAnd so we’re going to be digging
\ninto what is the relationship <\/p>\n

182
\n00:09:09,560 –> 00:09:12,640
\nbetween faith and anxiety.
\nThe Bible just connect the two. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:09:12,880 –> 00:09:14,800
\nSo what is it?
\nHow do I think about it? <\/p>\n

184
\n00:09:15,080 –> 00:09:17,320
\nAnd then on top of that, if
\nthere’s a connection between <\/p>\n

185
\n00:09:17,320 –> 00:09:19,880
\nfaith and anxiety, how does
\nguilt work with it? <\/p>\n

186
\n00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:22,040
\nHow do I feel guilty when I have
\nanxiety? <\/p>\n

187
\n00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:23,720
\nShould I feel guilty?
\nShould I not? <\/p>\n

188
\n00:09:23,720 –> 00:09:26,560
\nThose kinds of questions,
\nbecause I know guilt and anxiety<\/p>\n

189
\n00:09:26,640 –> 00:09:29,240
\nare heavily associated with in a
\nfaith context. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:09:29,240 –> 00:09:31,480
\nSo we’re going to try to be
\ndealing with when should I feel <\/p>\n

191
\n00:09:31,480 –> 00:09:33,920
\nguilty, when shouldn’t I, and
\nhow do I think through that <\/p>\n

192
\n00:09:34,720 –> 00:09:35,960
\nclass?
\nOne really is about <\/p>\n

193
\n00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:39,240
\nunderstanding how I should view
\nanxiety in a moral framework. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:09:39,400 –> 00:09:41,480
\nEssentially is the goal of class
\none. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:44,760
\nClass 2 is to be the processing
\nof anxiety. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:09:44,760 –> 00:09:47,440
\nNow that I understand how I view
\nit, how to think about it, what <\/p>\n

197
\n00:09:47,440 –> 00:09:49,320
\nis anxiety inside of a moral
\nframework? <\/p>\n

198
\n00:09:49,640 –> 00:09:51,760
\nWhat do I do about it?
\nThat’s going to be Class 2. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:09:51,760 –> 00:09:54,640
\nWe’re going to be going through
\na couple steps of dealing with <\/p>\n

200
\n00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:57,720
\nanxiety or dealing with kind of
\nthe biblical framework of how to<\/p>\n

201
\n00:09:57,720 –> 00:09:59,440
\ndeal with anxiety.
\nWe’re going to be looking <\/p>\n

202
\n00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:02,040
\nthrough mostly David’s life and
\nsee how he deals with it <\/p>\n

203
\n00:10:02,280 –> 00:10:05,160
\nmultiple different stages in his
\nlife, and he deals with it in a <\/p>\n

204
\n00:10:05,160 –> 00:10:07,240
\nvery similar pattern.
\nHe has a pattern of how he <\/p>\n

205
\n00:10:07,240 –> 00:10:09,440
\nprocesses anxiety.
\nSo we’re going to go through <\/p>\n

206
\n00:10:09,440 –> 00:10:11,200
\nthat pattern and we’re going to
\nsee what does he do. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:10:11,200 –> 00:10:14,000
\nWe’re going to think about how
\nthat might apply to our lives. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:10:14,000 –> 00:10:17,520
\nIn some ways, when we get to our
\nexpectation, we’re going to be <\/p>\n

209
\n00:10:17,520 –> 00:10:20,600
\ndealing with Christ’s battle
\nwith anxiety because he deals <\/p>\n

210
\n00:10:20,600 –> 00:10:23,320
\nwith it as well, and he deals
\nwith it in a very similar way <\/p>\n

211
\n00:10:23,440 –> 00:10:25,760
\nhow David deals with it.
\nAnd so we’re going to be looking<\/p>\n

212
\n00:10:25,760 –> 00:10:28,360
\nat how Christ deals with
\nanxiety, how he processes his <\/p>\n

213
\n00:10:28,360 –> 00:10:30,800
\nown anxiety, and we’re going to
\ngo ahead and think about how <\/p>\n

214
\n00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:32,960
\ndoes that apply to us.
\nAnd the cool thing about <\/p>\n

215
\n00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:35,600
\nChrist’s story is you actually
\nsee that it gets easier as you <\/p>\n

216
\n00:10:35,600 –> 00:10:38,240
\nprocess it, more as you put the
\nsteps into practice. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:41,280
\nThe battle actually gets easier.
\nDoesn’t mean it goes away, but <\/p>\n

218
\n00:10:41,280 –> 00:10:42,560
\nit does get easier.
\nAnd so we’ll see that in <\/p>\n

219
\n00:10:42,560 –> 00:10:46,760
\nChrist’s battle.
\nAnd then our last class is kind <\/p>\n

220
\n00:10:46,760 –> 00:10:50,840
\nof a tangently related idea,
\nwhich is we’re looking at a case<\/p>\n

221
\n00:10:50,840 –> 00:10:53,040
\nof anxiety.
\nSo specifically, I had a <\/p>\n

222
\n00:10:53,040 –> 00:10:56,840
\nconversation with gnomes,
\nactually, about what is a common<\/p>\n

223
\n00:10:56,840 –> 00:10:58,600
\nthing of people struggle with
\nwith anxiety. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:10:58,880 –> 00:11:01,480
\nAnd she said having purpose,
\nfeeling purpose, feeling <\/p>\n

225
\n00:11:01,480 –> 00:11:03,280
\nfulfilled.
\nSo we’re going to be looking at <\/p>\n

226
\n00:11:03,280 –> 00:11:06,160
\nthat and kind of use that as a
\nuse case of what do you do if <\/p>\n

227
\n00:11:06,160 –> 00:11:08,320
\nyou have that anxiety?
\nHow do you deal with it? <\/p>\n

228
\n00:11:08,440 –> 00:11:10,280
\nWhat does it look like?
\nWhat is our purpose? <\/p>\n

229
\n00:11:10,560 –> 00:11:13,880
\nHow do I examine my purpose?
\nSo we’ll be doing that in Class <\/p>\n

230
\n00:11:13,880 –> 00:11:16,680
\n4.
\nAs you can tell, we’ve got a lot<\/p>\n

231
\n00:11:16,680 –> 00:11:19,680
\nto cover, so we’re going to be
\ndigging into this and we’re to <\/p>\n

232
\n00:11:19,680 –> 00:11:24,960
\nstart with reading Matthew
\nChapter 6, verses 16 to 34. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:36,840
\nAgain, that’s Matthew chapter 6
\nverses 16 to 34. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:11:40,560 –> 00:11:46,680
\nOK, starting at verse 16,
\nwhenever you fast, do not put on<\/p>\n

235
\n00:11:46,680 –> 00:11:50,040
\na gloomy face as the hypocrites
\ndo, for they neglect their <\/p>\n

236
\n00:11:50,040 –> 00:11:51,960
\nappearance, so they will be
\nsorry. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:11:52,360 –> 00:11:56,360
\nThey neglect their appearance so
\nthat they will be noticed by men<\/p>\n

238
\n00:11:56,560 –> 00:11:59,680
\nwhen they are fasting.
\nTruly, I say to you, they have <\/p>\n

239
\n00:11:59,720 –> 00:12:02,800
\ntheir reward in full.
\nBut you when you fast and hold <\/p>\n

240
\n00:12:02,800 –> 00:12:05,920
\nyour head and wash your face, so
\nthat in fasting, when you will <\/p>\n

241
\n00:12:05,920 –> 00:12:09,120
\nnot be noticed by men, but by
\nyour father, who is in secret, <\/p>\n

242
\n00:12:09,320 –> 00:12:12,520
\nand your father, who sees what
\nis done in secret, will reward <\/p>\n

243
\n00:12:12,520 –> 00:12:15,200
\nyou.
\nDo not store up for yourselves <\/p>\n

244
\n00:12:15,200 –> 00:12:19,080
\ntreasures on earth, where moth
\nand rust destroy, and where <\/p>\n

245
\n00:12:19,080 –> 00:12:22,440
\nthieves break in and steal, but
\nstore up for yourselves <\/p>\n

246
\n00:12:22,440 –> 00:12:25,720
\ntreasures in heaven, where
\nneither moth nor rust destroy, <\/p>\n

247
\n00:12:26,320 –> 00:12:28,280
\nwhere thieves do not break in
\nnor steal. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:30,760
\nFor where your treasure is, that
\nyour heart will be. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:12:30,760 –> 00:12:36,280
\nAlso the eyes is the lamp of the
\nbody, And then if your eye is <\/p>\n

250
\n00:12:36,280 –> 00:12:38,480
\nclear, your whole body will be a
\nfull of light. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:12:38,760 –> 00:12:40,840
\nBut if your eye is bad, your
\nwhole body will be full of <\/p>\n

252
\n00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:43,440
\ndarkness.
\nWithin the light that is in you <\/p>\n

253
\n00:12:43,440 –> 00:12:45,400
\nis darkness.
\nHow great is that darkness? <\/p>\n

254
\n00:12:46,120 –> 00:12:48,680
\nNo one can serve 2 masters, for
\neither he will hate the one and <\/p>\n

255
\n00:12:48,680 –> 00:12:51,440
\nlove the other, or he’ll be
\ndevoted to one and despise the <\/p>\n

256
\n00:12:51,440 –> 00:12:53,440
\nother.
\nYou cannot serve God and wealth.<\/p>\n

257
\n00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:57,440
\nFor this reason I say to you, do
\nnot be worried about your life <\/p>\n

258
\n00:12:57,880 –> 00:13:01,640
\nas to what you will eat or what
\nyou will drink, nor for your <\/p>\n

259
\n00:13:01,640 –> 00:13:04,560
\nbody as to what you will put on.
\nIs not life more than food in <\/p>\n

260
\n00:13:04,560 –> 00:13:07,440
\nthe body, more than clothing?
\nLook at the birds of the air, <\/p>\n

261
\n00:13:07,760 –> 00:13:10,720
\nthat they do not sow, nor reap,
\nnor gather into barns. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:12,480
\nAnd here your heavenly Father
\nfeeds them. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:13:12,920 –> 00:13:14,320
\nAre you not worth much more than
\nthey? <\/p>\n

264
\n00:13:15,320 –> 00:13:19,240
\nAnd who are you by being who?
\nWho of you by being worried, can<\/p>\n

265
\n00:13:19,240 –> 00:13:22,880
\nadd a single hour to his life?
\nAnd why are you worried about <\/p>\n

266
\n00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:24,600
\nclothing?
\nObserve how the lilies of the <\/p>\n

267
\n00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:27,360
\nfield grow.
\nThey do not toil, nor do they <\/p>\n

268
\n00:13:27,360 –> 00:13:30,480
\nspin.
\nYet I say to you that not even <\/p>\n

269
\n00:13:30,480 –> 00:13:33,200
\nSolomon, all of his glory,
\nclothes themselves like one of <\/p>\n

270
\n00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:35,600
\nthese.
\nBut if God said, close the grass<\/p>\n

271
\n00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:38,560
\nof the field which is alive
\ntoday and tomorrow, and tomorrow<\/p>\n

272
\n00:13:38,600 –> 00:13:42,080
\nis thrown into the furnace,
\nreally not much more clothe you,<\/p>\n

273
\n00:13:42,480 –> 00:13:45,320
\nyou have little faith.
\nDo not worry them. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:47,360
\nSaying what?
\nWhat will we eat? <\/p>\n

275
\n00:13:47,440 –> 00:13:49,280
\nWhat will we drink?
\nWhat will we wear? <\/p>\n

276
\n00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:52,520
\nFor clothing for the Gentiles
\nequally seek all these things, <\/p>\n

277
\n00:13:52,960 –> 00:13:54,680
\nfor your heavenly Father knows
\nthat you will. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:13:54,680 –> 00:13:57,920
\nYou need all these things.
\nBut seek first His Kingdom and <\/p>\n

279
\n00:13:57,920 –> 00:14:00,120
\nHis righteousness, and all these
\nthings will be added unto you. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:14:01,040 –> 00:14:03,520
\nDo not worry about tomorrow, for
\ntomorrow will take care of <\/p>\n

281
\n00:14:03,520 –> 00:14:05,720
\nitself.
\nEach day has some trouble. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:14:09,920 –> 00:14:21,560
\nAll right, so this this section
\nis really jarring when you read <\/p>\n

283
\n00:14:21,560 –> 00:14:23,080
\nit.
\nAnd the reason it’s jarring <\/p>\n

284
\n00:14:23,600 –> 00:14:25,680
\nbecause of verse 30.
\nI’m just going to reread that <\/p>\n

285
\n00:14:25,680 –> 00:14:29,080
\none.
\nBut if God so close the glass of<\/p>\n

286
\n00:14:29,080 –> 00:14:32,160
\nthe field which which today is
\nlive and tomorrow some of the <\/p>\n

287
\n00:14:32,160 –> 00:14:36,200
\noven really not much more close
\nyou owe you of little faith. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:14:37,920 –> 00:14:40,800
\nJesus is telling people I don’t
\nwant us to put ourselves in that<\/p>\n

289
\n00:14:40,800 –> 00:14:43,520
\nscenario.
\nJesus is telling people who are <\/p>\n

290
\n00:14:43,520 –> 00:14:48,320
\nanxious over base needs food and
\nclothing that if you’re worried <\/p>\n

291
\n00:14:48,320 –> 00:14:52,960
\nabout that oh ye have little
\nfaith that’s jarring. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:14:53,480 –> 00:14:55,800
\nLike if I was in that scenario,
\nlike, Jesus chill. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:14:55,800 –> 00:14:58,520
\nLike there are a lot to be
\nanxious about that that makes <\/p>\n

294
\n00:14:58,520 –> 00:15:00,800
\nsense.
\nLike that’s my that I’d be <\/p>\n

295
\n00:15:00,800 –> 00:15:03,640
\nreally like, we need to be OK
\nwith this. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:15:03,640 –> 00:15:05,200
\nLet’s have some kind of empathy
\nhere. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:15:06,400 –> 00:15:08,120
\nBut Jesus doesn’t approach it
\nthat way. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:15:08,320 –> 00:15:12,360
\nIt says, O ye of little faith.
\nAnd so that sparks the question,<\/p>\n

299
\n00:15:13,080 –> 00:15:15,520
\nwhy?
\nWhy do these people have little <\/p>\n

300
\n00:15:15,520 –> 00:15:18,400
\nfaith for having this anxiety,
\nfor having this word And how do <\/p>\n

301
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:19,600
\nwe look at that?
\nHow do we approach that? <\/p>\n

302
\n00:15:21,040 –> 00:15:23,920
\nBut first note, he doesn’t say
\nof you have no faith. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:15:24,520 –> 00:15:28,360
\nI think it’s really important.
\nBeing anxious or having anxiety <\/p>\n

304
\n00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:31,520
\nin the scenario doesn’t tell
\nJesus they’re faithless people. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:15:32,280 –> 00:15:35,320
\nNo, they have faith.
\nThey just have room for <\/p>\n

306
\n00:15:35,320 –> 00:15:37,400
\nimprovement or something to work
\non within their faith. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:39,600
\nAnd that’s a very important
\ndifference. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:41,600
\nIt’s not that these people are
\nfaithless because of anxiety. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:43,360
\nAnxiety doesn’t mean you’re some
\nterrible person who doesn’t <\/p>\n

310
\n00:15:43,360 –> 00:15:45,880
\nbelieve, but it doesn’t mean
\nthere’s opportunities to work. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:15:45,880 –> 00:15:47,960
\nThere’s room for improvement
\nwithin one’s faith. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:15:48,440 –> 00:15:51,320
\nAnd so we’ll look at kind of
\nwhat is that work, what is that <\/p>\n

313
\n00:15:51,320 –> 00:15:55,400
\nroom for improvement?
\nAnd lucky for us, Christ leaves <\/p>\n

314
\n00:15:55,400 –> 00:15:57,680
\na great hint at the start of
\nverse 25. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:02,440
\nVerse 25 starts with Therefore I
\ntell you, whenever you see that <\/p>\n

316
\n00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:05,280
\nword or hear that word,
\ntherefore or wherefore those <\/p>\n

317
\n00:16:05,280 –> 00:16:08,400
\nkinds of language means, read
\nwhat I just said. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:16:08,840 –> 00:16:11,880
\nThat’s the reason I’m saying
\nwhat I’m saying because of what <\/p>\n

319
\n00:16:11,880 –> 00:16:15,160
\nI just said.
\nSo the reason that Jesus can say<\/p>\n

320
\n00:16:15,440 –> 00:16:19,040
\ndo not be anxious about your
\nlife is because of what he says <\/p>\n

321
\n00:16:19,120 –> 00:16:24,080
\nand what we’ve read before.
\nVerse 25 S in verses 16 to 24. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:28,560
\nSo we’re just going to start
\nback in verse 16 and work <\/p>\n

323
\n00:16:28,560 –> 00:16:29,920
\nthrough what is Jesus saying
\nhere? <\/p>\n

324
\n00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:32,080
\nAnd then we’ll think about how
\ndoes that relate to anxiety. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:16:33,080 –> 00:16:35,360
\nSo in verse 16 I’ll just read
\nthe 1st 3 verses. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:16:37,520 –> 00:16:41,920
\nAnd when you fast, do not look
\ngloomy like the hypocrites, for <\/p>\n

327
\n00:16:41,920 –> 00:16:43,800
\nthey disfigure their face and
\nthey’re fast. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:45,440
\nThat their fasting may be seen
\nby others. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:16:45,880 –> 00:16:48,600
\nSurely I say to you, they’ve
\nreceived their reward. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:53,080
\nBut when you fast, anoint your
\nhead and wash your face that <\/p>\n

331
\n00:16:53,080 –> 00:16:56,080
\nyour fasting may not be seen by
\nothers but by your father, who <\/p>\n

332
\n00:16:56,080 –> 00:16:59,440
\nis in secret, and your father,
\nwho sees in secrets, will award <\/p>\n

333
\n00:16:59,440 –> 00:17:03,040
\nyou.
\nSo let’s face the section seems <\/p>\n

334
\n00:17:03,040 –> 00:17:06,200
\nto be telling you how to fast.
\nThat’s not really what it’s <\/p>\n

335
\n00:17:06,319 –> 00:17:07,720
\ngetting at.
\nIt’s not really getting at. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:17:07,720 –> 00:17:09,760
\nThis is how you should go about
\nfasting for the point. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:17:10,720 –> 00:17:15,280
\nThe real point is that we should
\nvalue God’s point of view, God’s<\/p>\n

338
\n00:17:15,280 –> 00:17:18,560
\nopinion of us, more than man’s
\nopinion of us, and that this is <\/p>\n

339
\n00:17:18,560 –> 00:17:22,599
\njust an example of how these
\npeople are valuing man’s opinion<\/p>\n

340
\n00:17:22,640 –> 00:17:26,520
\nover God’s opinion By saying I
\ncare more that people recognize <\/p>\n

341
\n00:17:26,520 –> 00:17:30,200
\nme fasting than I care
\nnecessarily if God is looking at<\/p>\n

342
\n00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:31,680
\nme fasting.
\nWhat I’m focusing on is, are <\/p>\n

343
\n00:17:31,680 –> 00:17:35,000
\npeople recognizing me?
\nAnd So what this is getting at <\/p>\n

344
\n00:17:35,000 –> 00:17:37,040
\nis essentially an idea of
\nvalues. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:17:37,120 –> 00:17:40,120
\nDo you value God’s point of view
\nor God’s opinion or man’s <\/p>\n

346
\n00:17:40,120 –> 00:17:41,960
\nopinion of you?
\nWhat do you value more? <\/p>\n

347
\n00:17:42,040 –> 00:17:44,720
\nWhat’s more important to you?
\nSo it seems like it’s about <\/p>\n

348
\n00:17:44,720 –> 00:17:46,440
\nfasting.
\nIt’s not really, it’s actually <\/p>\n

349
\n00:17:46,440 –> 00:17:48,440
\nabout values.
\nWhat is more important to you, <\/p>\n

350
\n00:17:48,920 –> 00:17:53,680
\nGod’s point of view or man’s?
\nIf we continue with 19 to 24, <\/p>\n

351
\n00:17:53,880 –> 00:17:57,520
\nwe’ll see a similar theme.
\nIn verse 19 it says do not earth<\/p>\n

352
\n00:17:57,520 –> 00:17:59,880
\n19 to 24.
\nDo not lay up for yourselves. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:17:59,880 –> 00:18:03,200
\nTreasure on earth or moth and
\nrust destroyed, where thieves <\/p>\n

354
\n00:18:03,200 –> 00:18:06,000
\nbreak in and steal the lay up
\nfor yourselves. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:08,880
\nTreasure in heaven where neither
\nRoth nor Rust destroyed. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:18:09,120 –> 00:18:11,600
\nOr if thieves do not break in
\nand steal for where your <\/p>\n

357
\n00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:13,160
\ntreasure is, there your heart
\nwill be. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:18:13,160 –> 00:18:17,200
\nAlso, the eye is the lamp of the
\nbody, so if your eye is healthy,<\/p>\n

359
\n00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:18,640
\nthe whole body will be full of
\nlight. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:21,520
\nBut if your eye is bad, your
\nwhole body is full of darkness. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:18:21,840 –> 00:18:24,640
\nAnd if then the light in you is
\ndarkness, how great is that <\/p>\n

362
\n00:18:24,640 –> 00:18:27,240
\ndarkness?
\nNo one can serve 2 masters, for <\/p>\n

363
\n00:18:27,240 –> 00:18:29,280
\nyou either will hate the one or
\nlove the other, or he will be <\/p>\n

364
\n00:18:29,280 –> 00:18:31,000
\ndevoted to the one and despise
\nthe other. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:18:31,360 –> 00:18:35,640
\nYou cannot serve God and money.
\nAnd again, at first this seems <\/p>\n

366
\n00:18:35,640 –> 00:18:39,360
\nto be saying, OK, what should I
\nvalue more as far as money goes?<\/p>\n

367
\n00:18:39,360 –> 00:18:40,560
\nAs soon as you’re talking about
\nmoney. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:18:40,880 –> 00:18:42,440
\nBut again, that’s not really the
\nfocus. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:18:42,440 –> 00:18:45,480
\nIt’s not really about money,
\nit’s about internal values. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:18:46,080 –> 00:18:49,760
\nDo you value things on earth or
\ndo you value things in heaven? <\/p>\n

371
\n00:18:50,080 –> 00:18:53,920
\nDo you value things of God or do
\nyou value literal money? <\/p>\n

372
\n00:18:54,520 –> 00:18:57,640
\nWe know this because he says lay
\nup yourselves treasures in <\/p>\n

373
\n00:18:57,640 –> 00:18:59,200
\nheaven.
\nIt’s not saying there’s some <\/p>\n

374
\n00:18:59,200 –> 00:19:01,160
\nStock Exchange in heaven that I
\nshould go invest in. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:19:01,680 –> 00:19:05,120
\nHe’s talking about what you care
\nabout, where your heart is or <\/p>\n

376
\n00:19:05,120 –> 00:19:06,760
\nwhere your treasure is.
\nSorry, that is where your heart <\/p>\n

377
\n00:19:06,760 –> 00:19:08,760
\nwill be.
\nAlso, he’s saying, do you care <\/p>\n

378
\n00:19:08,760 –> 00:19:10,080
\nabout the things?
\nWhat do you value? <\/p>\n

379
\n00:19:10,080 –> 00:19:13,280
\nWhat’s important to you?
\nThe things on earth where moths <\/p>\n

380
\n00:19:13,360 –> 00:19:16,800
\nand what destroys.
\nDo you steal or do you care and <\/p>\n

381
\n00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:21,000
\nvalue things in heaven?
\nThe eternal again it’s talking <\/p>\n

382
\n00:19:21,000 –> 00:19:24,520
\nabout values.
\nBoth sections are trying to get <\/p>\n

383
\n00:19:24,520 –> 00:19:27,000
\nus to change how we evaluate
\nthings. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:19:27,360 –> 00:19:30,000
\nHow we go from evaluating things
\nfrom kind of man’s point of <\/p>\n

385
\n00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:31,240
\nview.
\nI care what’s right in front of <\/p>\n

386
\n00:19:31,240 –> 00:19:33,040
\nme.
\nI care about how people view me.<\/p>\n

387
\n00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:34,680
\nI care about money and my basic
\nneeds. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:19:34,680 –> 00:19:37,560
\nThis is what I care about kind
\nof God’s point of view. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:19:37,680 –> 00:19:39,960
\nI care about the eternal.
\nI care about God’s opinion of <\/p>\n

390
\n00:19:39,960 –> 00:19:41,840
\nme.
\nI care about what’s everlasting,<\/p>\n

391
\n00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:44,760
\nnot the temporary.
\nIt’s trying to get us to change <\/p>\n

392
\n00:19:44,800 –> 00:19:48,760
\nhow we evaluate things.
\nThis brings us to a concept that<\/p>\n

393
\n00:19:48,760 –> 00:19:52,840
\nI like to call value systems.
\nEssentially, it’s this idea of <\/p>\n

394
\n00:19:53,160 –> 00:19:56,360
\nhow do you value things, How do
\nyou find things important. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:19:56,360 –> 00:19:57,960
\nIt’s similar to the idea of
\npriorities. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:19:58,360 –> 00:20:00,520
\nAnd then on top of that, it’s
\nhow do they interact with each <\/p>\n

397
\n00:20:00,520 –> 00:20:02,480
\nother?
\nSo not just do I value <\/p>\n

398
\n00:20:02,480 –> 00:20:04,560
\nsomething, but do I value it
\nmore or less than something <\/p>\n

399
\n00:20:04,560 –> 00:20:06,440
\nelse?
\nAnd then as situations happen in<\/p>\n

400
\n00:20:06,440 –> 00:20:10,040
\nmy life, do these values change?
\nDo I value other things more or <\/p>\n

401
\n00:20:10,040 –> 00:20:12,040
\nless?
\nThis is essentially a value <\/p>\n

402
\n00:20:12,040 –> 00:20:13,760
\nsystem that you have that’s
\nconstantly changing. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:20:14,520 –> 00:20:17,120
\nWhen you get in situations, what
\nyou care about may change a <\/p>\n

404
\n00:20:17,120 –> 00:20:19,360
\nlittle bit because that
\nsituation is happening to you. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:20:19,760 –> 00:20:23,640
\nAnd so that’s kind of what we’re
\nlooking at is value systems is <\/p>\n

406
\n00:20:23,640 –> 00:20:26,480
\nessentially this idea of what is
\nimportant to you in a specific <\/p>\n

407
\n00:20:26,480 –> 00:20:28,480
\nmoment.
\nAnd again, that might change as <\/p>\n

408
\n00:20:28,480 –> 00:20:31,760
\ndifferent moments happen.
\nAnd this doesn’t just have to do<\/p>\n

409
\n00:20:31,760 –> 00:20:34,440
\nwith religious beliefs.
\nIt’s not just God versus man. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:20:34,720 –> 00:20:39,320
\nIt might be today I really care
\nabout if I’m on time but <\/p>\n

411
\n00:20:39,320 –> 00:20:42,480
\ntomorrow I don’t.
\nBut very different things can <\/p>\n

412
\n00:20:42,520 –> 00:20:45,680
\ncan fall in this value system.
\nIt’s not just religious things <\/p>\n

413
\n00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:48,400
\nare important things that’s kind
\nof the whole range of everything<\/p>\n

414
\n00:20:48,400 –> 00:20:51,480
\ngoing on in life.
\nAnd what this sections that <\/p>\n

415
\n00:20:51,480 –> 00:20:54,760
\nwe’ve read up to now we’re
\ntrying to say evaluate things so<\/p>\n

416
\n00:20:54,760 –> 00:20:58,560
\nthat the eternal so that the
\neverlasting so that God’s point <\/p>\n

417
\n00:20:58,560 –> 00:21:00,640
\nof view is up in the top of that
\nvalue system. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:21:00,920 –> 00:21:04,880
\nIt’s very high in your priority
\nlist and that the temporary, the<\/p>\n

419
\n00:21:04,880 –> 00:21:07,440
\nthe man’s point of view and all
\nthose things are a bit lower in <\/p>\n

420
\n00:21:07,440 –> 00:21:10,080
\nthat in that value system and
\nwhat you find important. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:21:11,960 –> 00:21:16,760
\nAnd Jesus uses this to say this
\nis the reason they can say do <\/p>\n

422
\n00:21:16,760 –> 00:21:20,440
\nnot be anxious for your life,
\nhuh? <\/p>\n

423
\n00:21:21,440 –> 00:21:26,400
\nOK Why?
\nAnd I think this makes a lot of <\/p>\n

424
\n00:21:26,400 –> 00:21:30,240
\nsense because what Jesus is
\ngetting at is that the reason <\/p>\n

425
\n00:21:30,240 –> 00:21:31,960
\nthese people are anxious is
\nbecause there’s actually <\/p>\n

426
\n00:21:31,960 –> 00:21:35,920
\nsomething off in that moment of
\nanxiety with their values, with <\/p>\n

427
\n00:21:36,440 –> 00:21:40,520
\nwhat’s important to them.
\nThis is something that was told <\/p>\n

428
\n00:21:40,520 –> 00:21:41,720
\nto me.
\nI used to go to therapy for <\/p>\n

429
\n00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:44,240
\nanxiety, and this was something
\nthat, although it came from a <\/p>\n

430
\n00:21:44,240 –> 00:21:47,400
\nhumanistic point of view, when
\nyou kind of put your God filter <\/p>\n

431
\n00:21:47,400 –> 00:21:49,720
\non, you can turn it into a
\nreally cool lesson. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:21:49,840 –> 00:21:53,360
\nAnd that is that our anxieties
\ncome from essentially deep and <\/p>\n

433
\n00:21:53,360 –> 00:21:55,920
\npersonal cares.
\nWhen you’re anxious about <\/p>\n

434
\n00:21:55,920 –> 00:22:00,480
\nsomething because you care a lot
\nabout something related to that <\/p>\n

435
\n00:22:00,480 –> 00:22:02,480
\nanxiety.
\nIt might not be directly that <\/p>\n

436
\n00:22:02,480 –> 00:22:05,320
\nanxiety or that thing that’s in
\nfront of you, but it’s something<\/p>\n

437
\n00:22:05,320 –> 00:22:07,880
\nrelated to it and you care a lot
\nabout it. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:22:08,520 –> 00:22:11,880
\nSo for example, if I had social
\nanxiety, it means I have a <\/p>\n

439
\n00:22:11,880 –> 00:22:15,440
\nstrong care for something
\nrelated to social situations. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:22:15,760 –> 00:22:18,560
\nIt might not be that I care
\nabout social situations, but I <\/p>\n

441
\n00:22:18,560 –> 00:22:21,280
\nmight be that I care about being
\nrespected, that there’s a threat<\/p>\n

442
\n00:22:21,280 –> 00:22:23,640
\nto that respect.
\nIf I’m in a social situation, it<\/p>\n

443
\n00:22:24,400 –> 00:22:26,560
\nmight be that I care about being
\napproved of, or it might be that<\/p>\n

444
\n00:22:26,560 –> 00:22:28,480
\nI care about not being
\nembarrassed. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:22:28,480 –> 00:22:30,400
\nYou know, I’ve had a really bad
\nevent in my life where I was <\/p>\n

446
\n00:22:30,440 –> 00:22:32,280
\nembarrassed in my life.
\nI don’t want that to happen <\/p>\n

447
\n00:22:32,280 –> 00:22:33,760
\nagain.
\nAnd there’s a chance that might <\/p>\n

448
\n00:22:33,760 –> 00:22:37,440
\nhappen in a social scenario.
\nAnd these cares, these deep <\/p>\n

449
\n00:22:37,440 –> 00:22:42,080
\ncares, push this anxiety at the
\ntop of my list of my value <\/p>\n

450
\n00:22:42,080 –> 00:22:44,680
\nsystem.
\nNow all of a sudden, when I’m <\/p>\n

451
\n00:22:44,720 –> 00:22:48,200
\nafraid of this embarrassment,
\nnot being embarrassed now <\/p>\n

452
\n00:22:48,200 –> 00:22:51,040
\nmatters more to me than anything
\nelse because I’m anxious about <\/p>\n

453
\n00:22:51,040 –> 00:22:53,400
\nit.
\nIt’s causing me to to have <\/p>\n

454
\n00:22:53,440 –> 00:22:56,960
\nphysical reactions where I care
\nabout this, whatever this thing <\/p>\n

455
\n00:22:56,960 –> 00:23:00,280
\nis that’s causing me anxiety, it
\ngoes to the top of my values in <\/p>\n

456
\n00:23:00,280 –> 00:23:03,520
\nthat moment.
\nIt’s not a thought out priority.<\/p>\n

457
\n00:23:03,560 –> 00:23:05,440
\nIt’s not a priority where I
\nthought, written out my <\/p>\n

458
\n00:23:05,440 –> 00:23:08,000
\npriorities and gone.
\nThis is how I would order them. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:23:08,560 –> 00:23:12,040
\nIt’s not a planned value system.
\nIt’s one that happens in the <\/p>\n

460
\n00:23:12,040 –> 00:23:15,320
\nmoment because you’re anxious
\nand it comes from human nature. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:23:15,400 –> 00:23:17,200
\nIt’s not something that you’ve
\nthought out, planned and said <\/p>\n

462
\n00:23:17,200 –> 00:23:18,440
\nno, I’m going to care about this
\nmore. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:23:18,440 –> 00:23:20,040
\nIt’s something that’s happening
\nto you. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:23:20,040 –> 00:23:21,960
\nYou can choose to value that
\nmore at the moment. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:23:22,160 –> 00:23:24,680
\nYour anxiety is kind of telling
\nyou this thing. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:23:24,840 –> 00:23:27,440
\nWhatever you’re anxious about is
\nthe most important thing. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:23:27,560 –> 00:23:29,600
\nIt’s all you should think about.
\nIt’s more important than <\/p>\n

468
\n00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:32,120
\nanything else, and that’s why we
\nget so worried. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:23:32,560 –> 00:23:37,480
\nPhysical reactions to the idea
\nand what Jesus is doing in the <\/p>\n

470
\n00:23:37,480 –> 00:23:40,560
\nsection is he’s saying these
\npeople there’s something off of <\/p>\n

471
\n00:23:40,560 –> 00:23:44,040
\ntheir values if they’re anxious
\neven about things that are as <\/p>\n

472
\n00:23:44,240 –> 00:23:49,240
\nneeded as food and clothing.
\nAnd the reason is because God is<\/p>\n

473
\n00:23:49,240 –> 00:23:51,280
\ngoing to take care of them.
\nGod has said he will take care <\/p>\n

474
\n00:23:51,280 –> 00:23:54,280
\nof them, and he explains this in
\nverses 26 and 30. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:23:55,320 –> 00:23:59,240
\nLook at the birds of the air.
\nThey neither sow nor reap when <\/p>\n

476
\n00:23:59,240 –> 00:24:01,600
\nwe’re gathering to barns, Yet
\nyour Heavenly Father feeds them.<\/p>\n

477
\n00:24:02,120 –> 00:24:03,440
\nAre you not of more value than
\nthey? <\/p>\n

478
\n00:24:03,440 –> 00:24:07,960
\nAnd then 30 But if God clothes
\nthe grass of the field which <\/p>\n

479
\n00:24:07,960 –> 00:24:10,800
\ntoday is alive and tomorrow is
\nthrown in the oven, will not <\/p>\n

480
\n00:24:10,800 –> 00:24:15,080
\nmuch more clothe you?
\nEssentially, Jesus is saying <\/p>\n

481
\n00:24:15,560 –> 00:24:19,840
\nthat there’s God who values us
\nas people more than he values <\/p>\n

482
\n00:24:19,840 –> 00:24:22,360
\ngrass and birds.
\nHe values us so much that he <\/p>\n

483
\n00:24:22,360 –> 00:24:24,760
\ngave his only Son for us.
\nAnd if he values us this much, <\/p>\n

484
\n00:24:25,080 –> 00:24:27,440
\nit takes care of other things
\nthat he values less than he’ll <\/p>\n

485
\n00:24:27,600 –> 00:24:31,120
\ntake care of you.
\nAnd if we truly believed that, <\/p>\n

486
\n00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:33,880
\nif that’s an actual true belief
\nto the point where it impacts <\/p>\n

487
\n00:24:33,880 –> 00:24:37,520
\nour feelings moment to moment,
\nwell then we wouldn’t be anxious<\/p>\n

488
\n00:24:37,680 –> 00:24:40,320
\nbecause we would internally have
\naccepted that that’s a true <\/p>\n

489
\n00:24:40,320 –> 00:24:44,080
\nstatement and that their concern
\nof not having food wouldn’t be <\/p>\n

490
\n00:24:44,080 –> 00:24:47,560
\nthere.
\nNow, like I said, easier said <\/p>\n

491
\n00:24:47,560 –> 00:24:52,600
\nthan done.
\nThis is giving us insight into <\/p>\n

492
\n00:24:52,600 –> 00:24:54,760
\nthe relationship between faith
\nand anxiety, but we haven’t <\/p>\n

493
\n00:24:54,760 –> 00:24:56,160
\nreally gotten to how do we deal
\nwith that yet. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:24:57,240 –> 00:24:59,520
\nThe thing is, anxiety
\nessentially makes us value <\/p>\n

495
\n00:24:59,520 –> 00:25:03,800
\nthings way more than we should.
\nAnd it’s because it’s it’s part <\/p>\n

496
\n00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:06,440
\nof our human nature.
\nBut we’ll look into in a bit. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:25:06,440 –> 00:25:08,400
\nWe’re not quite there, but we’re
\ngoing to look into how anxiety <\/p>\n

498
\n00:25:08,400 –> 00:25:12,720
\nis essentially A temptation.
\nIt it causes us to miss value <\/p>\n

499
\n00:25:12,720 –> 00:25:15,480
\nthings, miss evaluate things
\nbecause it’s telling us. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:25:15,480 –> 00:25:17,360
\nIt’s lying to us and saying
\nwhatever it is that we’re <\/p>\n

501
\n00:25:17,360 –> 00:25:18,960
\ninterested about.
\nSocial situations. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:25:18,960 –> 00:25:21,240
\nAnything else?
\nI’ll tell my personal story here<\/p>\n

503
\n00:25:21,240 –> 00:25:24,360
\nin a minute.
\nIt tells us to value it as the <\/p>\n

504
\n00:25:24,400 –> 00:25:28,400
\nhighest thing, but then we think
\nthrough what is God value that <\/p>\n

505
\n00:25:28,400 –> 00:25:30,640
\nthing at the top.
\nReally, it shouldn’t be there. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:25:31,520 –> 00:25:33,680
\nBut in the moment, our anxiety
\nis telling us that is the most <\/p>\n

507
\n00:25:33,680 –> 00:25:35,480
\nimportant thing.
\nThat’s the biggest, most <\/p>\n

508
\n00:25:35,480 –> 00:25:36,640
\nimportant thing to you in this
\nmoment. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:25:37,200 –> 00:25:39,240
\nThat is essentially what anxiety
\nis doing. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:25:39,240 –> 00:25:41,520
\nAnd that’s why there’s a
\nrelationship between anxiety and<\/p>\n

511
\n00:25:41,520 –> 00:25:43,720
\nfaith.
\nIt’s not that anxiety and faith <\/p>\n

512
\n00:25:43,720 –> 00:25:46,680
\nare just connected one to one.
\nIt’s that there’s this thing in <\/p>\n

513
\n00:25:46,680 –> 00:25:51,080
\nthe middle of values and the
\nvalues is the connector between <\/p>\n

514
\n00:25:51,080 –> 00:25:54,440
\nfaith and anxiety.
\nThe reason anxiety messes with <\/p>\n

515
\n00:25:54,440 –> 00:25:57,400
\nour faith, it’s being that
\nchanges our values. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:25:57,400 –> 00:26:00,000
\nIt changes what you care about,
\nchanges what’s at the top of the<\/p>\n

517
\n00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:01,800
\nlist.
\nAnd like I said, this changes a <\/p>\n

518
\n00:26:01,800 –> 00:26:03,800
\nlot.
\nIf you’re anxious, this thing <\/p>\n

519
\n00:26:03,800 –> 00:26:05,440
\nthat you’re anxious about move
\nto the top of the list. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:26:06,000 –> 00:26:08,440
\nWhen you’re later not anxious,
\nit’s not that high, it’s much <\/p>\n

521
\n00:26:08,440 –> 00:26:10,400
\nlower because these things
\nchange. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:26:10,400 –> 00:26:12,640
\nThese are moment to moment.
\nI’m not talking about your your <\/p>\n

523
\n00:26:12,640 –> 00:26:15,160
\nplanned out priorities.
\nWhen you sit down and you you do<\/p>\n

524
\n00:26:15,160 –> 00:26:17,120
\na chart and you say what’s more
\nimportant to me and how do I <\/p>\n

525
\n00:26:17,120 –> 00:26:19,200
\nstructure my life.
\nI’m talking about your moment to<\/p>\n

526
\n00:26:19,200 –> 00:26:21,840
\nmoment values, the moment to
\nmoment of what’s important to <\/p>\n

527
\n00:26:21,840 –> 00:26:23,480
\nyou.
\nAnd anxiety essentially tells <\/p>\n

528
\n00:26:23,480 –> 00:26:26,000
\nyou change those values.
\nThat thing that you’re anxious <\/p>\n

529
\n00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:30,200
\nabout needs to be at the top.
\nIn my personal story, I really <\/p>\n

530
\n00:26:30,200 –> 00:26:33,440
\nexperienced this.
\nSo a bit of background. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:26:33,640 –> 00:26:38,400
\nMy parents got divorced when I
\nwas 13, and the way they got <\/p>\n

532
\n00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:40,600
\ndivorced really kind of messed
\nme up a bit. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:26:41,280 –> 00:26:46,480
\nSee, they they got divorced in a
\nway where one day, happy family,<\/p>\n

534
\n00:26:47,360 –> 00:26:51,360
\nmy mom, my dad were seemed fine.
\nDad would come home from work, <\/p>\n

535
\n00:26:51,760 –> 00:26:53,320
\nthey’d get hugged, maybe a heck
\non the cheek. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:26:53,560 –> 00:26:56,320
\nSeemed fine, no arguments.
\nNever had any clue that anything<\/p>\n

537
\n00:26:56,320 –> 00:26:59,560
\nwas going on.
\nNext day, like I told, yeah, <\/p>\n

538
\n00:26:59,560 –> 00:27:02,720
\nwe’re we’re having a divorce.
\nAnd what that did to me is <\/p>\n

539
\n00:27:02,720 –> 00:27:06,000
\nessentially goes gotcha.
\nSo a relationship can break up <\/p>\n

540
\n00:27:06,240 –> 00:27:09,560
\nat the drop of a hat like just
\nlike that, that we can do it <\/p>\n

541
\n00:27:09,560 –> 00:27:13,000
\nfrom perfect great relationship
\nto it’s over just like that. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:27:13,880 –> 00:27:16,120
\nAnd that’s what that’s what it
\nbecame an ingrained belief, <\/p>\n

543
\n00:27:16,120 –> 00:27:17,600
\nright.
\nThat’s what I kind of took with <\/p>\n

544
\n00:27:17,600 –> 00:27:19,600
\nfrom that.
\nAnd then in my future <\/p>\n

545
\n00:27:19,600 –> 00:27:24,440
\nrelationships for years, I felt
\nlike that the first instance, <\/p>\n

546
\n00:27:24,440 –> 00:27:26,160
\nanything would go even remotely
\nwrong. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:27:26,160 –> 00:27:29,040
\nAn argument even.
\nLike, usually the the person I’d<\/p>\n

548
\n00:27:29,040 –> 00:27:31,520
\nbe dating would be generally a
\nhappy person and they had like a<\/p>\n

549
\n00:27:31,520 –> 00:27:32,840
\nbad day.
\nIt wasn’t even, like a problem <\/p>\n

550
\n00:27:32,840 –> 00:27:33,920
\nwith me.
\nIt was just like they just <\/p>\n

551
\n00:27:33,920 –> 00:27:36,040
\nseemed off.
\nOh my goodness, is this <\/p>\n

552
\n00:27:36,040 –> 00:27:38,040
\nhappening to me?
\nIs this the the drop of the hat?<\/p>\n

553
\n00:27:38,040 –> 00:27:39,160
\nIs this the end of the
\nrelationship? <\/p>\n

554
\n00:27:39,360 –> 00:27:41,560
\nPanic, panic, panic, panic,
\nanxiety. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:27:43,160 –> 00:27:46,360
\nAnd what that did for me is
\nessentially say, making this <\/p>\n

556
\n00:27:46,360 –> 00:27:49,360
\nrelationship stick together is
\nthe top of the list. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:27:49,360 –> 00:27:51,280
\nIt’s more important than
\nanything else. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:27:51,760 –> 00:27:55,120
\nIt’s more important than is this
\nrelationship good for me, it’s <\/p>\n

559
\n00:27:55,120 –> 00:27:57,960
\nmore important than should I
\nactually be dating this person? <\/p>\n

560
\n00:27:58,440 –> 00:28:00,680
\nIt’s more important to then do I
\neven like this person? <\/p>\n

561
\n00:28:01,200 –> 00:28:03,200
\nIt was more important than
\nanything else. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:28:03,720 –> 00:28:06,120
\nI needed to make sure that
\nrelationship slept together <\/p>\n

563
\n00:28:06,360 –> 00:28:08,240
\nbecause panic, panic, panic,
\npanic. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:28:08,240 –> 00:28:10,360
\nThat’s what was going on in my
\nhead. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:28:11,680 –> 00:28:13,920
\nAnd as I mentioned, I went to
\nthe Thera Confess for a while <\/p>\n

566
\n00:28:14,680 –> 00:28:18,800
\nand again, this is 1 potential
\ndanger of going to the therapy <\/p>\n

567
\n00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:20,160
\nand there’s a lot of value that
\ncomes from it. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:28:20,160 –> 00:28:22,120
\nI’m not saying it’s bad, it’s
\ngreat, highly recommend if you <\/p>\n

569
\n00:28:22,120 –> 00:28:24,200
\nneed it.
\nBut one danger is that you get a<\/p>\n

570
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:26,720
\nlot of humanism kind of thrown
\nin the in the mix. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:28:26,720 –> 00:28:28,360
\nSo you have to have a God filter
\non. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:28:29,200 –> 00:28:31,800
\nBut one of the things that they
\nhad said, and they asked me one <\/p>\n

573
\n00:28:31,800 –> 00:28:35,000
\ntime that really just made me
\nstep back, was, do you actually <\/p>\n

574
\n00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:37,560
\nwant to be in this relationship
\ntalking about a specific issue <\/p>\n

575
\n00:28:37,560 –> 00:28:38,600
\nthat I was dealing with at the
\ntime? <\/p>\n

576
\n00:28:39,440 –> 00:28:42,360
\nThe the relationship was really
\nbad at communication. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:28:42,360 –> 00:28:44,040
\nThe person didn’t really talk to
\nme a whole lot. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:28:44,240 –> 00:28:46,280
\nThat was causing me a lot of
\nanxiety because my priority was <\/p>\n

579
\n00:28:46,280 –> 00:28:49,720
\nto make this work.
\nMy priority was have had it not <\/p>\n

580
\n00:28:49,720 –> 00:28:51,080
\nhappened what my parents
\nhappened. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:28:51,480 –> 00:28:53,160
\nDon’t avoid that situation of
\nall costs. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:28:53,440 –> 00:28:56,640
\nMost important, the relationship
\nwasn’t a good relationship for <\/p>\n

583
\n00:28:56,640 –> 00:28:58,680
\nme.
\nWe actually didn’t need to be <\/p>\n

584
\n00:28:58,680 –> 00:28:59,920
\ntogether.
\nWe weren’t a good fit. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:29:00,560 –> 00:29:03,800
\nBut I couldn’t think through
\nthat because I was anxious about<\/p>\n

586
\n00:29:03,800 –> 00:29:06,800
\nkeeping it together.
\nAnd so that was my priority. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:08,520
\nAnd that’s the problem with
\nanxiety. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:29:08,520 –> 00:29:09,840
\nSo why anxiety messes with
\nfaith? <\/p>\n

589
\n00:29:10,000 –> 00:29:11,120
\nBecause I wasn’t thinking
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:29:11,520 –> 00:29:13,680
\nIs this relationship a good
\nrelationship to mimic Christ in <\/p>\n

591
\n00:29:13,680 –> 00:29:15,440
\nthe Ecclesia?
\nI wasn’t thinking through. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:29:15,440 –> 00:29:17,920
\nIs this relationship a good
\nrelationship to raise kids in? <\/p>\n

593
\n00:29:17,920 –> 00:29:19,160
\nThe truth, I wasn’t thinking
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:29:19,160 –> 00:29:22,120
\nIs this relationship something
\nthat’s going to help me be more <\/p>\n

595
\n00:29:22,120 –> 00:29:24,080
\nlike Christ and help her be more
\nlike Christ? <\/p>\n

596
\n00:29:24,320 –> 00:29:26,760
\nThose thoughts were not in my
\nbrain when I was freaking out <\/p>\n

597
\n00:29:26,760 –> 00:29:29,000
\nabout.
\nIs this something that I, you <\/p>\n

598
\n00:29:29,000 –> 00:29:31,720
\nknow, something going wrong?
\nPanic, panic, panic. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:29:32,440 –> 00:29:35,280
\nWhen I sit back and think about
\nit, those are at the top of my <\/p>\n

600
\n00:29:35,280 –> 00:29:37,800
\nlist.
\nBut in the moment of anxiety, <\/p>\n

601
\n00:29:38,320 –> 00:29:41,200
\nthose drop, keep it together,
\ngoes to the top. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:29:42,240 –> 00:29:45,160
\nAnd that’s why that’s the
\nrelationship between anxiety and<\/p>\n

603
\n00:29:45,160 –> 00:29:47,520
\nfaith.
\nThat’s the problem of anxiety <\/p>\n

604
\n00:29:47,520 –> 00:29:49,840
\nand why Christ can say, oh, you
\nhave a little faith. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:29:49,840 –> 00:29:53,000
\nBecause in that moment I’m
\nsaying faith takes a back, step <\/p>\n

606
\n00:29:53,040 –> 00:29:56,320
\nback, step, the back seat and my
\nanxiety takes the front. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:29:56,840 –> 00:29:58,960
\nAnxiety becomes the the, the
\nfocus. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:29:59,440 –> 00:30:01,280
\nThat’s why anxiety relates to
\nfaith. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:30:02,120 –> 00:30:06,040
\nThat’s the reason that Jesus can
\nsay, owe you a little faith when<\/p>\n

610
\n00:30:06,040 –> 00:30:10,200
\ndealing with anxiety.
\nNow, that might seem harsh, but <\/p>\n

611
\n00:30:10,200 –> 00:30:14,400
\nit’s not that different than
\nother temptations, not that <\/p>\n

612
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:19,200
\ndifferent than anger or lust.
\nAnd I think that’s why Jesus <\/p>\n

613
\n00:30:19,200 –> 00:30:22,960
\nputs the section of anxiety in
\nthe Sermon of the Mount after <\/p>\n

614
\n00:30:22,960 –> 00:30:27,800
\ntalking about anger and lust.
\nAnd so there’s actually a lot of<\/p>\n

615
\n00:30:28,560 –> 00:30:32,240
\ncrossover of how we should think
\nabout temptation, or how we <\/p>\n

616
\n00:30:32,240 –> 00:30:34,960
\nshould think about anxiety with
\nhow we should think about anger <\/p>\n

617
\n00:30:34,960 –> 00:30:36,560
\nand lust.
\nThey they do very similar <\/p>\n

618
\n00:30:36,560 –> 00:30:38,320
\nthings.
\nAnger, essentially. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:30:38,320 –> 00:30:42,000
\nWhen I get angry about something
\nis my human nature telling me <\/p>\n

620
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:45,920
\nwhatever I’m angry about is
\nworth being angry about, but I’m<\/p>\n

621
\n00:30:45,920 –> 00:30:47,280
\njustified in being angry about
\nit. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:30:47,280 –> 00:30:49,280
\nIt’s telling me that it’s
\nimportant enough that I should <\/p>\n

623
\n00:30:49,280 –> 00:30:52,160
\nbe mad about it, and I’m
\nimportant enough that it’s worth<\/p>\n

624
\n00:30:52,160 –> 00:30:54,240
\ngetting mad about it.
\nIt’s some it’s lying to me in <\/p>\n

625
\n00:30:54,240 –> 00:30:56,120
\nsome way.
\nIt’s telling me something is <\/p>\n

626
\n00:30:56,160 –> 00:30:58,800
\nthat is actually bad.
\nWell, it’s telling me it’s good.<\/p>\n

627
\n00:30:59,720 –> 00:31:02,960
\nLost is very similar.
\nIt’s my human nature telling me <\/p>\n

628
\n00:31:02,960 –> 00:31:05,760
\nthis bad thing that I shouldn’t
\nwant is actually something you <\/p>\n

629
\n00:31:05,760 –> 00:31:08,360
\nshould want.
\nIt’s my human nature telling me <\/p>\n

630
\n00:31:08,360 –> 00:31:11,280
\nthat I should evaluate things
\ndifferently than how God <\/p>\n

631
\n00:31:11,280 –> 00:31:14,120
\nevaluates things.
\nZion is the same. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:31:15,000 –> 00:31:17,960
\nZion says evaluate things
\ndifferently than how God <\/p>\n

633
\n00:31:17,960 –> 00:31:21,080
\nevaluates things.
\nEvaluate things in a way that’s <\/p>\n

634
\n00:31:21,160 –> 00:31:24,200
\nthat’s wrong, that’s incorrect.
\nBut I’m going to make you do it.<\/p>\n

635
\n00:31:24,400 –> 00:31:26,280
\nI’ll make it the most important,
\nand I’m going to tempt you to do<\/p>\n

636
\n00:31:26,280 –> 00:31:28,880
\nit.
\nAnd This is why I say anxiety <\/p>\n

637
\n00:31:29,240 –> 00:31:32,200
\nassembly by temptation.
\nAnd so when we look at it in <\/p>\n

638
\n00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:34,720
\nthat vein, the question becomes,
\nhow do we think about guilt? <\/p>\n

639
\n00:31:36,120 –> 00:31:38,760
\nHow do we think about guilt in
\nthe context of anxiety? <\/p>\n

640
\n00:31:39,640 –> 00:31:42,120
\nI think this is important
\nbecause when we say that faith <\/p>\n

641
\n00:31:42,600 –> 00:31:47,800
\nand anxiety are related and that
\nhaving anxiety suggests there’s <\/p>\n

642
\n00:31:47,800 –> 00:31:50,760
\nissues in our faith, well that
\nmakes me feel really guilty. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:31:51,040 –> 00:31:54,360
\nWhen I have anxiety, that makes
\nme feel like, well, I didn’t <\/p>\n

644
\n00:31:54,360 –> 00:31:56,280
\nchoose this, I didn’t want to
\nhave anxiety. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:31:56,280 –> 00:31:57,880
\nI didn’t ask for it.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:31:57,880 –> 00:31:59,480
\nApparently when I have it, I
\nhave a faith problem. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:31:59,920 –> 00:32:02,880
\nThat’s not fair.
\nAnd now I’m a bad person because<\/p>\n

648
\n00:32:02,880 –> 00:32:05,360
\nI have anxiety.
\nYou start going through this <\/p>\n

649
\n00:32:05,360 –> 00:32:09,240
\nkind of rabbit hole of pot.
\nAnd so I want to make sure that <\/p>\n

650
\n00:32:09,240 –> 00:32:11,200
\nwe have a really proper
\nunderstanding of how guilt works<\/p>\n

651
\n00:32:11,200 –> 00:32:13,680
\nwith this because I don’t want
\npeople to walk away from here <\/p>\n

652
\n00:32:13,680 –> 00:32:17,320
\nand going And he said that that
\nI I’m, I’m of little faith if I <\/p>\n

653
\n00:32:17,560 –> 00:32:19,320
\nhave anxiety, I must be a
\nterrible person. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:32:19,320 –> 00:32:20,600
\nAnd that’s the take away from
\nthe weekend. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:32:20,720 –> 00:32:23,320
\nThat would be terrible.
\nAnd so that’s not the take away.<\/p>\n

656
\n00:32:23,320 –> 00:32:26,600
\nAnd we’re to look at how do I
\ndeal with guilt when it comes to<\/p>\n

657
\n00:32:26,600 –> 00:32:30,000
\nanxiety.
\nSo if anxiety is a temptation, I<\/p>\n

658
\n00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:32,480
\nthink it’s really valuable to
\nthink about other temptations <\/p>\n

659
\n00:32:32,840 –> 00:32:36,840
\nand how guilt work with them and
\nthen apply those ideas into <\/p>\n

660
\n00:32:36,840 –> 00:32:39,120
\nanxiety and say so.
\nIt probably works the same way <\/p>\n

661
\n00:32:39,520 –> 00:32:41,360
\nwith anxiety if anxiety is a
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:32:41,920 –> 00:32:43,800
\nAnd so in doing that, we’re
\ngoing to read 3 sections and <\/p>\n

663
\n00:32:43,800 –> 00:32:45,240
\nwe’re going to see what can we
\ntake away from them. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:32:46,080 –> 00:32:49,280
\nSection one is going to be
\nMatthew 5, verses 21 and 22. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:32:52,640 –> 00:33:03,160
\nSo Matthew 5 verses 21 and 22,
\nyou have heard that it was said <\/p>\n

666
\n00:33:03,160 –> 00:33:06,280
\nof those of old you shall not
\nmurder, and whoever murders will<\/p>\n

667
\n00:33:06,280 –> 00:33:09,120
\nbe liable of judgement.
\nBut I say to you that who? <\/p>\n

668
\n00:33:09,120 –> 00:33:12,200
\nAnyone who is angry with his
\nbrother will be liable to <\/p>\n

669
\n00:33:12,200 –> 00:33:14,720
\njudgement.
\nWhoever insults his brother will<\/p>\n

670
\n00:33:14,720 –> 00:33:17,360
\nbe liable to the council.
\nWhoever says you fool will be <\/p>\n

671
\n00:33:17,360 –> 00:33:20,920
\nliable to Hellfire.
\nAnd then we’re going to be a <\/p>\n

672
\n00:33:20,920 –> 00:33:23,360
\nlittle bit further down, verses
\n27 to 30. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:33:26,080 –> 00:33:28,080
\nYou have heard that it was said
\nyou shall not commit adultery. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:33:28,600 –> 00:33:30,960
\nBut I say to you that everyone
\nwho looks at a woman with <\/p>\n

675
\n00:33:30,960 –> 00:33:34,120
\nlustful intent has already
\ncommitted adultery with her in <\/p>\n

676
\n00:33:34,120 –> 00:33:36,680
\nhis heart.
\nAnd if your right eye is causing<\/p>\n

677
\n00:33:36,680 –> 00:33:38,680
\nyou to sin, tear it out and
\nthrow it away. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:33:39,040 –> 00:33:41,520
\nFor it is better for you to lose
\none of your members than for <\/p>\n

679
\n00:33:41,520 –> 00:33:43,040
\nyour whole body to be thrown
\ninto hell. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:33:43,760 –> 00:33:46,440
\nAnd if your right hand causes
\nyou to sin, cut it off and throw<\/p>\n

681
\n00:33:46,440 –> 00:33:48,560
\nit away.
\nFor it is better that one that <\/p>\n

682
\n00:33:48,560 –> 00:33:51,120
\nyou lose one of your members and
\nyour whole body is thrown into <\/p>\n

683
\n00:33:51,120 –> 00:33:54,320
\nhell.
\nAnd the last section don’t. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:33:54,320 –> 00:33:56,000
\nYou don’t need to flip there
\nbecause it’s just one verse. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:34:00,680
\nBut it’s Ephesians 4, verse 26.
\nBe angry and do not sin. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:34:00,680 –> 00:34:03,560
\nYou don’t let the sun go down on
\nyour anger. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:34:03,560 –> 00:34:06,560
\nSo we’re going to take these
\nthree sections and go, what can <\/p>\n

688
\n00:34:06,560 –> 00:34:10,159
\nwe take about take away from
\nthem when it comes to guilt and <\/p>\n

689
\n00:34:10,159 –> 00:34:13,800
\nsin, verse, temptation, all
\nthese ideas, what we should, how<\/p>\n

690
\n00:34:13,800 –> 00:34:15,920
\nshould we be thinking about it
\nand kind of a moral framework. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:34:16,159 –> 00:34:18,600
\nAnd we’ll apply those ideas to
\nanxiety. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:34:20,400 –> 00:34:22,800
\nSo first thing is that anger
\nbased off what we read in <\/p>\n

693
\n00:34:22,800 –> 00:34:26,800
\nEphesians, in and of itself,
\nit’s not a sin, not a sin to be <\/p>\n

694
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:30,239
\nangry, but it is a temptation.
\nIt’s not something that <\/p>\n

695
\n00:34:30,320 –> 00:34:33,120
\ninitially demands repentance.
\nHowever, it is something that <\/p>\n

696
\n00:34:33,120 –> 00:34:36,920
\nshould lead us to want to
\nchange, want to get out of that <\/p>\n

697
\n00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:40,000
\nspot of anger.
\nIt’s not something that we <\/p>\n

698
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:42,760
\nshould feel guilty in and of
\nitself, but given us a <\/p>\n

699
\n00:34:42,760 –> 00:34:44,719
\ntemptation, we need to work out
\nof it. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:34:45,120 –> 00:34:49,480
\nStaying in anger is not good.
\nJesus very clearly says in the <\/p>\n

701
\n00:34:49,480 –> 00:34:53,320
\nfirst section that being angry
\nand stewing an anger, not good. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:56,199
\nEven little acts of anger.
\nYou didn’t kill the guy, but you<\/p>\n

703
\n00:34:56,320 –> 00:34:58,040
\nsaid you fool, you talk behind
\ntheir back. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:34:58,360 –> 00:35:01,920
\nThose are still sins.
\nSo acting on it, even in my ways<\/p>\n

705
\n00:35:02,240 –> 00:35:06,600
\nis a sin.
\nHowever, just having anger in <\/p>\n

706
\n00:35:06,600 –> 00:35:09,520
\nand of itself, not a sin.
\nIt’s a temptation, but it’s <\/p>\n

707
\n00:35:09,520 –> 00:35:12,800
\nsomething that leads to sin.
\nIt’s bad, but it’s not something<\/p>\n

708
\n00:35:12,800 –> 00:35:14,800
\nthat you should feel guilty for
\nor like you’ve transgressed <\/p>\n

709
\n00:35:14,800 –> 00:35:17,040
\nabout.
\nSimilar with lust. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:35:17,240 –> 00:35:19,000
\nWe cannot do it.
\nWe cannot sit in it. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:35:19,480 –> 00:35:21,680
\nWe cannot just look at someone
\nand say, hey, I didn’t do <\/p>\n

712
\n00:35:21,680 –> 00:35:25,120
\nanything, I just looked.
\nWe need to work our way out of <\/p>\n

713
\n00:35:25,120 –> 00:35:27,280
\nthe temptation.
\nWe need to not just go. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:35:27,280 –> 00:35:29,160
\nI’m tempted.
\nI’m not sinning, so I’m fine. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:35:29,160 –> 00:35:32,080
\nIt’s not tempted that’s close to
\nsinning. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:35:32,360 –> 00:35:35,240
\nI need to get out of this.
\nYou haven’t transgressed, but <\/p>\n

717
\n00:35:35,240 –> 00:35:36,320
\nyou are on a state of
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:35:37,400 –> 00:35:40,360
\nWe really get this idea when
\nJesus says that if your eye <\/p>\n

719
\n00:35:40,360 –> 00:35:43,200
\noffends thee to pluck it out or
\nor pull it out, Name your <\/p>\n

720
\n00:35:43,200 –> 00:35:45,440
\nversion.
\nEssentially. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:35:45,440 –> 00:35:47,720
\nHe’s not saying you’re sinning.
\nThat’s bad. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:35:47,720 –> 00:35:50,280
\nRepent.
\nWhat he’s saying is you have a <\/p>\n

723
\n00:35:50,320 –> 00:35:54,400
\ntemptation that leads to sin.
\nWe need to take that out. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:35:54,560 –> 00:35:56,120
\nAnd he’s not saying stop
\nsinning. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:35:56,120 –> 00:35:58,080
\nHe’s actually saying work on the
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:35:58,880 –> 00:36:00,640
\nThis is a clear, really
\nimportant point. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:36:00,640 –> 00:36:03,640
\nHe doesn’t say don’t fit
\nadultery. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:36:03,640 –> 00:36:07,480
\nHe doesn’t say don’t murder.
\nHe says work on the temptation <\/p>\n

729
\n00:36:07,480 –> 00:36:10,880
\nbefore you get there.
\nOK, so does that mean for us? <\/p>\n

730
\n00:36:10,880 –> 00:36:13,600
\nRight, That means when we’re
\nangry, we actually need to stop <\/p>\n

731
\n00:36:13,600 –> 00:36:14,680
\nbefore we get to the murder
\npart. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:36:14,680 –> 00:36:17,920
\nWe need to stop and go, OK, I’m
\nin a state of temptation. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:36:18,120 –> 00:36:21,120
\nIt’s my responsibility to work
\non this temptation at the <\/p>\n

734
\n00:36:21,120 –> 00:36:24,040
\ntemptation level before it gets
\nto the transgression level. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:36:24,960 –> 00:36:27,120
\nI have to deal with it now,
\nwhile I’m just in a temptation <\/p>\n

736
\n00:36:27,120 –> 00:36:30,640
\nstate before I can get even have
\nthe chance to get to the <\/p>\n

737
\n00:36:30,640 –> 00:36:32,880
\ntransgression state.
\nI shouldn’t feel guilty about <\/p>\n

738
\n00:36:32,880 –> 00:36:34,360
\nbeing in temptation.
\nThat happens. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:36:34,360 –> 00:36:37,280
\nIt’s part of human nature, but I
\nneed to deal with it while it’s <\/p>\n

740
\n00:36:37,280 –> 00:36:40,040
\nhappening.
\nSince we figure out whatever is <\/p>\n

741
\n00:36:40,040 –> 00:36:43,280
\ncausing the temptation of anger
\nor lust and deal with it. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:36:43,280 –> 00:36:45,080
\nWork on it on a temptation
\nlevel. <\/p>\n

743
\n00:36:45,480 –> 00:36:47,840
\nDon’t wait for it to get to the
\ntransgression level. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:36:48,400 –> 00:36:49,800
\nDeal with it in a temptation
\nlevel. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:36:50,480 –> 00:36:52,840
\nDeal with it with anger and
\nlust, not murder. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:36:52,840 –> 00:36:56,600
\nIn adultery, yes, obviously.
\nDon’t do those other things. <\/p>\n

747
\n00:36:56,600 –> 00:36:58,200
\nDon’t do murder.
\nDon’t do adultery. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:36:58,400 –> 00:37:00,840
\nBut press point.
\nCurious to say, deal with it <\/p>\n

749
\n00:37:00,840 –> 00:37:02,880
\nbefore it gets there.
\nWork on it earlier. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:37:03,040 –> 00:37:04,320
\nWork on it when it’s just a
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:37:06,160 –> 00:37:08,480
\nSo let’s apply some of these
\nthoughts over to anxiety. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:37:09,400 –> 00:37:12,800
\nSo tell us that having anxiety
\nin and of itself shouldn’t make <\/p>\n

753
\n00:37:12,800 –> 00:37:15,360
\nyou feel guilty.
\nYou shouldn’t feel guilty <\/p>\n

754
\n00:37:15,360 –> 00:37:17,960
\nbecause you have anxiety.
\nThat’s the accused of feeling <\/p>\n

755
\n00:37:17,960 –> 00:37:19,920
\nguilty because you have human
\nnature. <\/p>\n

756
\n00:37:20,560 –> 00:37:22,800
\nYou didn’t choose that.
\nThat’s given to you. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:37:22,800 –> 00:37:26,280
\nI was handed to you on at birth.
\nYou had human nature. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:37:26,600 –> 00:37:27,800
\nYou didn’t choose it.
\nYou didn’t want it. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:30,200
\nYou still don’t want it.
\nThat’s a part of what we’re <\/p>\n

760
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:32,640
\ntrying to do, is to change it.
\nBut you have it. <\/p>\n

761
\n00:37:32,720 –> 00:37:34,720
\nYou have human nature.
\nIt’s going to make you feel <\/p>\n

762
\n00:37:34,720 –> 00:37:36,440
\nanxious sometimes.
\nIt’s going to make you want to <\/p>\n

763
\n00:37:36,440 –> 00:37:38,440
\nchange your priority.
\nSometimes it’s going to want to <\/p>\n

764
\n00:37:38,440 –> 00:37:41,240
\nmake you mis evaluate things
\nsometimes, and you shouldn’t <\/p>\n

765
\n00:37:41,240 –> 00:37:43,600
\nfeel guilty because of that.
\nIt’s temptation, and we have <\/p>\n

766
\n00:37:43,600 –> 00:37:47,000
\nhuman nature.
\nHowever, it’s not something <\/p>\n

767
\n00:37:47,000 –> 00:37:48,960
\nwe’re supposed to be OK with.
\nSitting in that statement <\/p>\n

768
\n00:37:49,560 –> 00:37:51,480
\noutside of just the like, it’s
\nuncomfortable. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:37:51,480 –> 00:37:53,080
\nLike anxiety is not fun to be
\nin. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:37:53,560 –> 00:37:55,440
\nWe also shouldn’t want to.
\nFrom a moral perspective, <\/p>\n

771
\n00:37:55,440 –> 00:37:58,760
\nthere’s a reason to get out of
\nanxiety from a moral point of <\/p>\n

772
\n00:37:58,760 –> 00:38:00,840
\nview.
\nBecause when we’re in anxiety, <\/p>\n

773
\n00:38:00,840 –> 00:38:05,440
\nwe are tempted and somewhat
\ndoing mis evaluating what is <\/p>\n

774
\n00:38:05,440 –> 00:38:06,760
\nimportant and how important it
\nis. <\/p>\n

775
\n00:38:06,760 –> 00:38:09,160
\nWe are changing what is on the
\ntop of our value list. <\/p>\n

776
\n00:38:09,200 –> 00:38:11,840
\nWhen I was anxious in my
\nrelationships, what was most <\/p>\n

777
\n00:38:11,840 –> 00:38:14,040
\nimportant to me wasn’t what
\nshould have been most important <\/p>\n

778
\n00:38:14,040 –> 00:38:16,040
\nto me.
\nAnd so I’m tempted to then act <\/p>\n

779
\n00:38:16,040 –> 00:38:17,600
\non that, then do something about
\nthat. <\/p>\n

780
\n00:38:18,120 –> 00:38:21,280
\nFor me, I was tempted to stay in
\nrelationships that were actively<\/p>\n

781
\n00:38:21,280 –> 00:38:24,200
\nleading me away from God.
\nThat’s not a good thing, but I <\/p>\n

782
\n00:38:24,200 –> 00:38:27,080
\nwas definitely tempted to do it
\nbecause I had anxiety making me <\/p>\n

783
\n00:38:27,080 –> 00:38:29,800
\nforget about everything else.
\nSo you’re in this state of <\/p>\n

784
\n00:38:29,800 –> 00:38:32,520
\nanxiety.
\nIt’s a temptation, and we need <\/p>\n

785
\n00:38:32,520 –> 00:38:35,360
\nto deal with that on a
\ntemptation level before it gets <\/p>\n

786
\n00:38:35,360 –> 00:38:38,920
\nto transgression.
\nThis also means similar to how <\/p>\n

787
\n00:38:39,280 –> 00:38:43,600
\nsaying mean words when you’re or
\nwhen you’re angry, or looking <\/p>\n

788
\n00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:45,360
\nupon a woman when you’re
\nlustful. <\/p>\n

789
\n00:38:45,880 –> 00:38:49,760
\nThese are minor transgressions,
\nand similarly, acting on our <\/p>\n

790
\n00:38:49,760 –> 00:38:53,200
\nanxieties can lead to
\ntransgression, and that’s kind <\/p>\n

791
\n00:38:53,200 –> 00:38:55,000
\nof hard to a hard pill to
\nswallow sometimes. <\/p>\n

792
\n00:38:55,800 –> 00:38:58,560
\nFor example, if I have social
\nanxiety and someone in my <\/p>\n

793
\n00:38:58,560 –> 00:39:01,720
\nmeeting needs help and I say no
\nbecause I’m socially anxious <\/p>\n

794
\n00:39:02,280 –> 00:39:05,800
\nbecause I’m valuing my safety,
\nfor example, of feeling, you <\/p>\n

795
\n00:39:05,800 –> 00:39:08,360
\nknow, I’m nervous about the
\nsocial interaction, about being <\/p>\n

796
\n00:39:08,360 –> 00:39:11,320
\nembarrassed, that’s more
\nimportant to me than helping my <\/p>\n

797
\n00:39:11,320 –> 00:39:13,520
\nbrother or sister.
\nAnd so I’m not going to help <\/p>\n

798
\n00:39:13,520 –> 00:39:15,240
\nthem because I’m I’m, I’m
\nnervous about that. <\/p>\n

799
\n00:39:16,160 –> 00:39:17,320
\nI would argue that’s a
\ntransgression. <\/p>\n

800
\n00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:21,000
\nThat is something that we should
\nfeel a minor amount of guilt <\/p>\n

801
\n00:39:21,000 –> 00:39:22,520
\nabout.
\nThat’s an aspect of guilt about <\/p>\n

802
\n00:39:23,000 –> 00:39:26,600
\nbecause you’ve acted upon your
\nMIS evaluation in the same way <\/p>\n

803
\n00:39:26,600 –> 00:39:29,120
\nthat with anger, when I’ve mis
\nevaluated how important <\/p>\n

804
\n00:39:29,120 –> 00:39:31,160
\nsomething is and I get angry
\nabout it and I punch the guy <\/p>\n

805
\n00:39:31,200 –> 00:39:34,760
\nbecause he stepped on my toe,
\nthat is, that is me mis <\/p>\n

806
\n00:39:34,760 –> 00:39:38,920
\nevaluating the situation well
\nwhen I just chose to stay home <\/p>\n

807
\n00:39:38,920 –> 00:39:41,880
\nbecause I was anxious about
\nthis, being embarrassed in this,<\/p>\n

808
\n00:39:41,920 –> 00:39:44,000
\nin this conversation, that was
\nmore important to me than <\/p>\n

809
\n00:39:44,000 –> 00:39:46,680
\nhelping my brother or sister.
\nI’ve mis evaluated the <\/p>\n

810
\n00:39:46,680 –> 00:39:49,040
\nsituation.
\nI’ve mis evaluated my priorities<\/p>\n

811
\n00:39:49,080 –> 00:39:51,040
\nof God’s priorities.
\nI’d argue that’s a <\/p>\n

812
\n00:39:51,040 –> 00:39:53,800
\ntransgression.
\nHowever, this is really <\/p>\n

813
\n00:39:53,800 –> 00:39:56,920
\nimportant.
\nFeeling guilty about a <\/p>\n

814
\n00:39:56,920 –> 00:40:00,920
\ntransgression shouldn’t.
\nThere’s actually a usefulness to<\/p>\n

815
\n00:40:00,920 –> 00:40:03,240
\nthat.
\nThere’s a useful thing to being <\/p>\n

816
\n00:40:03,240 –> 00:40:05,360
\nguilty about a transgression.
\nI’m supposed to remind you that,<\/p>\n

817
\n00:40:05,360 –> 00:40:08,760
\nhey, change this, this isn’t
\nwhat you want. <\/p>\n

818
\n00:40:09,200 –> 00:40:12,000
\nIt’s not just to make you feel
\nlike wallow in self pity, which <\/p>\n

819
\n00:40:12,000 –> 00:40:13,720
\nis what we often can do with
\nguilt. <\/p>\n

820
\n00:40:13,720 –> 00:40:16,720
\nIt’s just supposed to say, hey,
\nyou don’t actually want this. <\/p>\n

821
\n00:40:17,280 –> 00:40:20,320
\nThis is kind of your conscience.
\nThe the bit of the spirit saying<\/p>\n

822
\n00:40:20,480 –> 00:40:22,080
\nyou don’t want to go down this
\npath. <\/p>\n

823
\n00:40:22,480 –> 00:40:25,320
\nYou didn’t want to act that way.
\nIt’s a guilt that’s actually <\/p>\n

824
\n00:40:25,320 –> 00:40:27,560
\nuseful.
\nAnd the point of that, in <\/p>\n

825
\n00:40:27,560 –> 00:40:30,480
\nrecognizing that guilt, that’s
\nthe role of guilt, is to say <\/p>\n

826
\n00:40:30,480 –> 00:40:33,640
\nthat when you’ve said, OK, well,
\nI want to work on this on a <\/p>\n

827
\n00:40:33,640 –> 00:40:36,120
\ntemptation level, I’m going to
\nstart putting into practice <\/p>\n

828
\n00:40:36,120 –> 00:40:39,000
\nprinciples to make it so that I
\ncan deal with my anxiety in a <\/p>\n

829
\n00:40:39,000 –> 00:40:41,400
\nway that is stops me from
\ntransgressing, stops me from <\/p>\n

830
\n00:40:41,400 –> 00:40:43,480
\nmaking those choices.
\nI’m going to do it in a way that<\/p>\n

831
\n00:40:43,480 –> 00:40:45,360
\nis righteous.
\nI’m going to try my best and I I<\/p>\n

832
\n00:40:45,360 –> 00:40:48,600
\nwill still struggle with anxiety
\nor anger or lust or any of these<\/p>\n

833
\n00:40:48,600 –> 00:40:50,440
\nother things, but I’m going to
\nmake it so that I don’t <\/p>\n

834
\n00:40:50,440 –> 00:40:52,640
\ntransgress.
\nI’m going to do my best to stop <\/p>\n

835
\n00:40:52,640 –> 00:40:56,840
\nthat, that you should stop
\nfeeling guilty because that’s <\/p>\n

836
\n00:40:56,840 –> 00:40:58,800
\nthe point of guilt.
\nThe point of guilt was to get <\/p>\n

837
\n00:40:58,800 –> 00:41:01,200
\nyou there.
\nOnce you’re there, you shouldn’t<\/p>\n

838
\n00:41:01,280 –> 00:41:02,600
\nfeel guilty about having
\nanxiety. <\/p>\n

839
\n00:41:02,600 –> 00:41:04,360
\nThat’s part of human nature.
\nThat’s a that’s a battle that <\/p>\n

840
\n00:41:04,360 –> 00:41:06,600
\nyou’re going to have until the
\nKingdom comes. <\/p>\n

841
\n00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:09,680
\nThat’s a battle that you’re
\ngoing to deal with forever, not <\/p>\n

842
\n00:41:09,680 –> 00:41:12,720
\nforever.
\nSorry for this life, sorry, but <\/p>\n

843
\n00:41:12,880 –> 00:41:14,000
\nthat’s about it.
\nYou’re going to deal with for <\/p>\n

844
\n00:41:14,000 –> 00:41:17,320
\nthis life because that’s part of
\nour our lot in life is that you <\/p>\n

845
\n00:41:17,320 –> 00:41:19,880
\nhave human nature and we all
\nstruggle with different things. <\/p>\n

846
\n00:41:20,480 –> 00:41:22,880
\nSome else are going to struggle
\nwith anxiety, some more, some <\/p>\n

847
\n00:41:22,880 –> 00:41:25,080
\nless, some less are going to
\nstruggle with anger, some more <\/p>\n

848
\n00:41:25,080 –> 00:41:27,600
\nor less.
\nAnd the whole mixing variety of <\/p>\n

849
\n00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:30,320
\ntemptations we all struggle with
\nwith different levels. <\/p>\n

850
\n00:41:30,680 –> 00:41:33,320
\nSome of us, I will argue, can
\nactually get to a point where <\/p>\n

851
\n00:41:33,320 –> 00:41:34,560
\nyou don’t deal with anxiety
\nanymore. <\/p>\n

852
\n00:41:35,320 –> 00:41:37,600
\nSome of us won’t.
\nSome of us will get to a point <\/p>\n

853
\n00:41:37,600 –> 00:41:40,800
\nwhere it’s a little bit easier,
\nbut it’s not necessarily gone. <\/p>\n

854
\n00:41:41,960 –> 00:41:45,240
\nThat’s how temptation works.
\nBut what we do have a <\/p>\n

855
\n00:41:45,240 –> 00:41:47,600
\nresponsibility to do, when we
\nview it in the light of anxiety <\/p>\n

856
\n00:41:47,600 –> 00:41:50,320
\nand we view it in the light of
\nlust, we have this. <\/p>\n

857
\n00:41:50,360 –> 00:41:53,880
\nWe have a responsibility to work
\non it in the state of <\/p>\n

858
\n00:41:53,880 –> 00:41:58,280
\ntemptation, in the anxiety.
\nIt’s not just as long as I don’t<\/p>\n

859
\n00:41:58,680 –> 00:42:01,320
\nact on it, I’m good.
\nThat’s the same as saying as <\/p>\n

860
\n00:42:01,320 –> 00:42:03,880
\nlong as I don’t commit murder,
\nI’m good, or as long as I don’t <\/p>\n

861
\n00:42:03,880 –> 00:42:06,680
\ncommit adultery, I’m good.
\nOr in the less extreme cases, as<\/p>\n

862
\n00:42:06,680 –> 00:42:09,280
\nlong as I don’t say the bad
\nwords I’m good, or as long as I <\/p>\n

863
\n00:42:09,280 –> 00:42:11,000
\ndon’t look upon a woman, I’m
\ngood. <\/p>\n

864
\n00:42:11,840 –> 00:42:14,520
\nBut that’s not what Jesus says.
\nHe says, no, no, no. <\/p>\n

865
\n00:42:15,000 –> 00:42:16,200
\nDeal with it when it’s a
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

866
\n00:42:17,240 –> 00:42:19,560
\nSo we have a responsibility to
\ndeal with it when it’s a <\/p>\n

867
\n00:42:19,560 –> 00:42:21,520
\ntemptation.
\nAnd that’s what next class is <\/p>\n

868
\n00:42:21,520 –> 00:42:23,760
\ngoing to be about when we get
\nthere is, well, how do I deal <\/p>\n

869
\n00:42:23,760 –> 00:42:24,840
\nwith it?
\nYou told me to deal with it. <\/p>\n

870
\n00:42:24,840 –> 00:42:27,240
\nI got a responsibility to what
\ndo I do about it? <\/p>\n

871
\n00:42:27,600 –> 00:42:30,080
\nHow do I actually deal with it?
\nAnd that’s what we end up doing <\/p>\n

872
\n00:42:30,080 –> 00:42:32,640
\nin our next class.
\nSo just to kind of summarize <\/p>\n

873
\n00:42:32,640 –> 00:42:35,520
\nwhat we’ve talked about so far,
\nI want to first start with the <\/p>\n

874
\n00:42:35,600 –> 00:42:37,240
\nkind of guilt framework.
\nI want to work our way <\/p>\n

875
\n00:42:37,240 –> 00:42:39,320
\nbackwards.
\nSo the guilt framework we talked<\/p>\n

876
\n00:42:39,320 –> 00:42:43,080
\nabout was essentially that
\nanxiety is a temptation, the way<\/p>\n

877
\n00:42:43,080 –> 00:42:45,040
\nyou viewed loss, the way you
\nviewed anger, or any other <\/p>\n

878
\n00:42:45,040 –> 00:42:46,840
\ntemptation.
\nYou should view anxiety in a <\/p>\n

879
\n00:42:46,840 –> 00:42:49,920
\nvery similar way because it’s
\nyour human nature essentially <\/p>\n

880
\n00:42:49,920 –> 00:42:52,000
\nlying to you at how important
\ndifferent things are. <\/p>\n

881
\n00:42:52,320 –> 00:42:55,680
\nIt’s telling you to MIS evaluate
\nhow you view things, and then <\/p>\n

882
\n00:42:55,680 –> 00:42:57,640
\nit’s telling you to act on those
\nMIS evaluations. <\/p>\n

883
\n00:42:57,640 –> 00:42:59,520
\nIt’s saying that thing that’s
\nreally important to you. <\/p>\n

884
\n00:42:59,640 –> 00:43:02,120
\nYeah, make sure that stays
\nimportant and do like things in <\/p>\n

885
\n00:43:02,120 –> 00:43:04,520
\nyour life based off that level
\nof importance. <\/p>\n

886
\n00:43:04,840 –> 00:43:06,400
\nFor me, that was again, in
\nrelationships. <\/p>\n

887
\n00:43:06,760 –> 00:43:09,040
\nMake sure this relationship
\nthat’s from a biblical point of <\/p>\n

888
\n00:43:09,040 –> 00:43:10,560
\nview, from a spiritual point of
\nview, bad. <\/p>\n

889
\n00:43:10,560 –> 00:43:12,800
\nBut make sure it sticks together
\nbecause it’s the most important <\/p>\n

890
\n00:43:12,800 –> 00:43:16,120
\nthing to you in this moment.
\nAnxiety tells you to miss <\/p>\n

891
\n00:43:16,120 –> 00:43:19,000
\nevaluate things and that is why
\nit’s a temptation. <\/p>\n

892
\n00:43:19,000 –> 00:43:22,680
\nAnd we should view guilt in the
\nsame context where you shouldn’t<\/p>\n

893
\n00:43:22,680 –> 00:43:24,800
\nfeel guilty because you’re
\ntempted by something but you <\/p>\n

894
\n00:43:24,800 –> 00:43:26,600
\nshould work on it while it’s a
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

895
\n00:43:26,960 –> 00:43:28,240
\nThat’s the point that you work
\non it. <\/p>\n

896
\n00:43:28,240 –> 00:43:31,280
\nYou don’t work on it When it’s a
\nsin, that’s when you should feel<\/p>\n

897
\n00:43:31,280 –> 00:43:32,800
\nguilty.
\nYou work on it when it’s a <\/p>\n

898
\n00:43:32,800 –> 00:43:36,040
\ntemptation.
\nHowever, sins are going to <\/p>\n

899
\n00:43:36,040 –> 00:43:39,800
\nhappen, and when you feel guilty
\nbecause you’ve acted on anxiety <\/p>\n

900
\n00:43:39,800 –> 00:43:43,520
\nor you’ve acted on anger or
\nluster anything else, guilt <\/p>\n

901
\n00:43:43,520 –> 00:43:47,120
\nshould be there until you decide
\nto work on the temptation and <\/p>\n

902
\n00:43:47,120 –> 00:43:49,880
\nthen repent and say I’m going to
\nchange and then you should let <\/p>\n

903
\n00:43:49,880 –> 00:43:52,560
\nthat guilt go because the
\npurpose of that guilt has been <\/p>\n

904
\n00:43:52,560 –> 00:43:55,360
\nfulfilled.
\nGuilt is a useful tool, but once<\/p>\n

905
\n00:43:55,360 –> 00:43:57,360
\nit’s fulfilled its usefulness,
\nget rid of it. <\/p>\n

906
\n00:43:57,480 –> 00:43:59,960
\nIt’s not useful anymore.
\nYou shouldn’t feel guilty for <\/p>\n

907
\n00:43:59,960 –> 00:44:01,600
\nhaving anxiety.
\nWe’re going to be in this battle<\/p>\n

908
\n00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:04,240
\nfor a long time.
\nThat’s just how anxiety works. <\/p>\n

909
\n00:44:04,240 –> 00:44:07,760
\nThat’s how temptation works.
\nBut when we transgress, guilt is<\/p>\n

910
\n00:44:07,760 –> 00:44:09,320
\nthere.
\nIt’s useful to tell us to get <\/p>\n

911
\n00:44:09,320 –> 00:44:11,920
\nback in the battle, get back to
\nwork on this transgression or on<\/p>\n

912
\n00:44:11,920 –> 00:44:15,000
\nthis temptation, and then we let
\nit go because the guilt isn’t <\/p>\n

913
\n00:44:15,000 –> 00:44:17,560
\nuseful anymore.
\nAnd that’s I think the spot that<\/p>\n

914
\n00:44:17,560 –> 00:44:20,640
\nwe, a lot of people, me
\nincluded, in cases, mess up. <\/p>\n

915
\n00:44:21,000 –> 00:44:23,120
\nWe hold on to that guilt.
\nWe associate the guilt of the <\/p>\n

916
\n00:44:23,120 –> 00:44:25,360
\ntemptation and say, well, I’m
\ntempted by this thing. <\/p>\n

917
\n00:44:25,360 –> 00:44:29,160
\nI have anxiety, I have anger, I
\nhave lust and therefore I’m bad.<\/p>\n

918
\n00:44:29,160 –> 00:44:31,400
\nI should feel guilty.
\nNot quite. <\/p>\n

919
\n00:44:32,240 –> 00:44:33,800
\nWe should feel guilty when we
\ntransgress. <\/p>\n

920
\n00:44:34,200 –> 00:44:37,320
\nBut the the guilt is useful to
\nsay get back in the battle on <\/p>\n

921
\n00:44:37,320 –> 00:44:41,840
\nthe on the temptation level and
\nthen moving back to the how does<\/p>\n

922
\n00:44:41,840 –> 00:44:43,640
\nanxiety and faith seem to
\nrelate? <\/p>\n

923
\n00:44:44,120 –> 00:44:45,840
\nIt relates by the connection of
\nvalues. <\/p>\n

924
\n00:44:46,040 –> 00:44:47,880
\nEssentially.
\nWhen we are anxious about <\/p>\n

925
\n00:44:47,880 –> 00:44:50,920
\nsomething, we are internally
\nsaying whatever it is we’re <\/p>\n

926
\n00:44:50,920 –> 00:44:53,120
\nanxious about, whatever aspect
\nthat we’re anxious about. <\/p>\n

927
\n00:44:53,360 –> 00:44:54,560
\nThat is the most important
\nthing. <\/p>\n

928
\n00:44:54,640 –> 00:44:57,480
\nIt goes to the top of our list
\nmore important than things that <\/p>\n

929
\n00:44:57,480 –> 00:44:58,960
\nGod would say should be the most
\nimportant. <\/p>\n

930
\n00:44:59,760 –> 00:45:01,120
\nAnd that’s why it relates to
\nfaith. <\/p>\n

931
\n00:45:01,600 –> 00:45:04,680
\nIt relates to faith not because
\nyou know, anxious bad or your <\/p>\n

932
\n00:45:04,680 –> 00:45:06,280
\nbeliefs changed or anything like
\nthat. <\/p>\n

933
\n00:45:06,280 –> 00:45:09,240
\nIt goes, it relates to faith
\nbecause it changes how you <\/p>\n

934
\n00:45:09,240 –> 00:45:11,440
\nevaluate things in life.
\nIt changes. <\/p>\n

935
\n00:45:11,440 –> 00:45:13,640
\nWhat do you find important and
\nhow important are they? <\/p>\n

936
\n00:45:14,080 –> 00:45:16,920
\nChanges your priority list.
\nIn the moment, we know that. <\/p>\n

937
\n00:45:16,920 –> 00:45:19,040
\nIt doesn’t change your big
\npicture priority list if you <\/p>\n

938
\n00:45:19,040 –> 00:45:20,680
\nwere to go home and write it out
\nand think about it. <\/p>\n

939
\n00:45:21,040 –> 00:45:24,320
\nBut in that moment of anxiety,
\nyou’re not thinking about that <\/p>\n

940
\n00:45:24,320 –> 00:45:26,160
\nlist.
\nYou’re thinking about whatever <\/p>\n

941
\n00:45:26,160 –> 00:45:28,840
\nis the thing that’s the top of
\nyour values, whatever is the <\/p>\n

942
\n00:45:28,840 –> 00:45:31,880
\nthing that’s threatening to you
\nat that top of the top of the <\/p>\n

943
\n00:45:31,880 –> 00:45:35,360
\nvalue system.
\nNext class, what we’re going to <\/p>\n

944
\n00:45:35,360 –> 00:45:38,720
\ndo is we’re going to work on.
\nSo what do I do about this? <\/p>\n

945
\n00:45:39,000 –> 00:45:39,920
\nCool.
\nI understand it. <\/p>\n

946
\n00:45:39,920 –> 00:45:42,840
\nI understand when I should feel
\nguilty, when I shouldn’t and why<\/p>\n

947
\n00:45:42,840 –> 00:45:45,920
\nanxiety is a problem and how it
\nrelates to faith and all those <\/p>\n

948
\n00:45:45,920 –> 00:45:48,960
\nkinds of great things.
\nWhat do I do about it? <\/p>\n

949
\n00:45:49,520 –> 00:45:52,080
\nAnd that’s really, I’m really
\nlooking forward to that class <\/p>\n

950
\n00:45:52,320 –> 00:45:55,400
\nbecause that’s the class where
\nI’m really hoping to empower you<\/p>\n

951
\n00:45:55,400 –> 00:45:57,320
\nall.
\nI want to give you guys agency <\/p>\n

952
\n00:45:57,320 –> 00:45:59,840
\nand show this is what I can
\nactually do in this battle. <\/p>\n

953
\n00:46:00,240 –> 00:46:03,520
\nGive you clear steps and say
\nthat’s what I can actually do <\/p>\n

954
\n00:46:04,000 –> 00:46:05,880
\nbecause it’s really hard to say
\nor really easy for me to say. <\/p>\n

955
\n00:46:06,040 –> 00:46:08,360
\nHey guys, work on your anxiety,
\nwork on your anger to work on <\/p>\n

956
\n00:46:08,360 –> 00:46:10,640
\nthis stuff.
\nWhat does that actually mean? <\/p>\n

957
\n00:46:11,160 –> 00:46:14,160
\nI want to give you guys real
\npractical things from scripture <\/p>\n

958
\n00:46:14,360 –> 00:46:17,360
\nand then also from my own
\npersonal experiences that say <\/p>\n

959
\n00:46:17,520 –> 00:46:20,200
\nthis is how you can actually
\ntake steps in that direction and<\/p>\n

960
\n00:46:20,200 –> 00:46:22,640
\nthen and have power to really
\ntransform your mind. <\/p>\n

961
\n00:46:22,640 –> 00:46:24,640
\nSo that’s be the goal of the
\nnext class. <\/p>\n

962

\nI really look forward to that.
