- 00:01:41.457 --> 00:01:43.626
- MOMENT. AND, I WAS APOLOGIZING TO JOHN.
- 00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:44.827
- AND, I WAS APOLOGIZING TO JOHN. I'M LIKE: "I'M SO SORRY!
- 00:01:44.894 --> 00:01:45.628
- I'M LIKE: "I'M SO SORRY! WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEVEN HOURS
- 00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:46.229
- WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEVEN HOURS ROUNDTRIP IN A CAR.
- 00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:47.130

- AND JOHN KEPT SAYING: "YOU KNOW WHAT?
- 00:01:51.801 --> 00:01:52.302
- WHAT? IT'S OKAY."
- 00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:53.303
- IT'S OKAY." AND I SAID: "NO, THIS IS
- 00:01:53.369 --> 00:01:54.137
- AND I SAID: "NO, THIS IS ANYTHING BUT OKAY.
- 00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:55.838
- ANYTHING BUT OKAY. YOUR PARENTS WOULD NEVER HIDE
- 00:01:55.905 --> 00:01:57.507
- YOUR PARENTS WOULD NEVER HIDE FROM US WHEN WE DROVE DOWN TO

- FROM US WHEN WE DROVE DOWN TO SEE THEM."
- 00:01:58.541 --> 00:01:59.809
- SEE THEM." AND SO, I PUT JOHN THE NEXT DAY
- 00:01:59.876 --> 00:02:02.245
- AND SO, I PUT JOHN THE NEXT DAY ON A PLANE TO SWEDEN, AND I
- 00:02:02.312 --> 00:02:03.947
- ON A PLANE TO SWEDEN, AND I JUST SAID, "GOD, I NEED YOU TO
- 00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:05.381
- JUST SAID, "GOD, I NEED YOU TO TALK TO ME."
- 00:02:05.448 --> 00:02:07.050
- TALK TO ME." I REMEMBER I WAS LISTENING TO
- 00:02:07.116 --> 00:02:08.184
- I REMEMBER I WAS LISTENING TO THE OLD-SCHOOL SONG "I'M A
- 00:02:08.251 --> 00:02:10.253
- THE OLD-SCHOOL SONG "I'M A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS," AND,
- 00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:14.057
- FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS," AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I REALIZED
- 00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:15.792
- ALL OF A SUDDEN, I REALIZED THAT I WAS FATHERLESS -- NOT
- 00:02:15.858 --> 00:02:18.428
- THAT I WAS FATHERLESS -- NOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A DAD,
- 00:02:18.494 --> 00:02:19.262
- BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A DAD, BUT BECAUSE THE DAD I DID HAVE
- 00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:21.965
- BUT BECAUSE THE DAD I DID HAVE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED BY ME.
- 00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:24.067
- COULDN'T BE BOTHERED BY ME. AND, YOU KNOW, GUYS, I JUST
- 00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:25.301
- AND, YOU KNOW, GUYS, I JUST IMMERSED MYSELF IN THE PAIN OF
- 00:02:25.368 --> 00:02:26.236
- IMMERSED MYSELF IN THE PAIN OF THAT MOMENT.
- 00:02:26.302 --> 00:02:28.104
- THAT MOMENT. I WAS WEEPING, I WAS CRYING.
- 00:02:28.171 --> 00:02:29.772
- I WAS WEEPING, I WAS CRYING. I WAS LIKE: "I AM COMPLETELY
- 00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:30.673
- I WAS LIKE: "I AM COMPLETELY ABANDONED."
- 00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:31.140
- ABANDONED." AND I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:02:31.207 --> 00:02:33.610
- AND I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY: YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS
- 00:02:33.676 --> 00:02:35.111
- SAY: YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS COMPLETELY WRONG.
- 00:02:35.178 --> 00:02:36.646
- COMPLETELY WRONG. - TASHA COBBS LEONARD: WOW.
- 00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:38.548
- - TASHA COBBS LEONARD: WOW. - LISA: BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE
- 00:02:38.615 --> 00:02:40.083
- - LISA: BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE COMPLETELY ABANDONED BY YOUR

- COMPLETELY ABANDONED BY YOUR NATURAL FATHER, YOU ARE
- 00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:42.518
- NATURAL FATHER, YOU ARE POSITIONED TO BE ADOPTED BY
- 00:02:42.585 --> 00:02:44.120
- POSITIONED TO BE ADOPTED BY YOUR HEAVENLY ONE.
- 00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:48.491
- YOUR HEAVENLY ONE. AND I THOUGHT: ONLY, GOD, YOU
- 00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:50.093
- AND I THOUGHT: ONLY, GOD, YOU WOULD SEE THIS AS AN
- 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.995
- WOULD SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADOPT ME.
- 00:02:52.061 --> 00:02:53.730
- OPPORTUNITY TO ADOPT ME. BUT LISTEN TO 2 CORINTHIANS
- 00:02:53.796 --> 00:02:55.732
- BUT LISTEN TO 2 CORINTHIANS 6:8.
- 00:02:55.798 --> 00:02:56.866

- 00:03:00.403 --> 00:03:03.473
- DAUGHTERS TO ME, SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY."
- 00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:05.008
- ALMIGHTY." - TASHA: YES.
- 00:03:05.074 --> 00:03:05.875
- - LISA: YOU KNOW, IN THAT
- 00:03:06.342 --> 00:03:07.610
- - LISA: YOU KNOW, IN THAT MOMENT, I REMEMBERED THINKING:
- 00:03:07.677 --> 00:03:08.244
- MOMENT, I REMEMBERED THINKING: IF JOHN NEED SOMETHING, HE CAN
- 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:09.212
- IF JOHN NEED SOMETHING, HE CAN PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HIS
- 00:03:09.279 --> 00:03:10.179
- PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HIS DAD.
- 00:03:10.246 --> 00:03:11.581
- DAD. BUT IF I NEED SOMETHING, I CAN
- 00:03:11.648 --> 00:03:12.749
- BUT IF I NEED SOMETHING, I CAN GO DIRECTLY TO MY HEAVENLY
- 00:03:12.815 --> 00:03:16.185
- GO DIRECTLY TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER.
- 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:17.353
- FATHER. AND I THINK, SOMETIMES, WE JUST
- 00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:18.521
- AND I THINK, SOMETIMES, WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES
- 00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:20.290
- DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES OUR FATHERS, BECAUSE OF THEIR
- 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:21.624
- OUR FATHERS, BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN BROKENNESS -- THEY CAN'T BE
- 00:03:21.691 --> 00:03:22.925
- OWN BROKENNESS -- THEY CAN'T BE THERE FOR US.
- 00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:24.994
- THERE FOR US. BUT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS THE
- 00:03:25.061 --> 00:03:26.863
- BUT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS THE ONE WHO IS ALWAYS A PERFECT
- 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:28.531
- ONE WHO IS ALWAYS A PERFECT FATHER FOR US.
- 00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:29.999
- FATHER FOR US. - TASHA: WOW.
- 00:03:30.066 --> 00:03:30.667
- - TASHA: WOW. OH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

- - TASHA: WOW. - CECE: SO GOOD.
- 00:03:34.937 --> 00:03:35.605
- AND THAT'S SO GOOD TO POINT
- 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:36.673
- AND THAT'S SO GOOD TO POINT OUT: OUR EARTHLY FATHERS, AS
- 00:03:36.739 --> 00:03:39.542
- OUT: OUR EARTHLY FATHERS, AS MUCH AS THEY MIGHT CARE FOR US
- 00:03:39.609 --> 00:03:40.643
- MUCH AS THEY MIGHT CARE FOR US -- WE'RE ALL FLAWED, YOU KNOW?
- 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:42.278
- -- WE'RE ALL FLAWED, YOU KNOW? AND I THINK, A LOT OF TIMES,
- 00:03:42.345 --> 00:03:44.814
- AND I THINK, A LOT OF TIMES, PEOPLE, WHEN THEY HAVE A FATHER
- 00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:48.451
- PEOPLE, WHEN THEY HAVE A FATHER WHO'S NOT THERE -- THEY ALLOW
- 00:03:48.518 --> 00:03:50.320
- WHO'S NOT THERE -- THEY ALLOW THEM TO...REALLY TAKE AWAY FROM
- 00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:52.422
- THEM TO...REALLY TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR VALUE.
- 00:03:52.488 --> 00:03:54.390
- THEY BEGIN TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE
- 00:03:55.024 --> 00:03:55.758
- THEY BEGIN TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE NOT LOVED OR THEY'RE NOT
- 00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:56.392
- NOT LOVED OR THEY'RE NOT ENOUGH.
- 00:03:56.459 --> 00:03:57.293
- ENOUGH. AND I THINK WHAT YOU JUST
- 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.195
- AND I THINK WHAT YOU JUST SHARED IS JUST SO IMPORTANT FOR
- 00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:00.596
- SHARED IS JUST SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO HEAR -- THAT WE HAVE
- 00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:01.698
- PEOPLE TO HEAR -- THAT WE HAVE A HEAVENLY FATHER WHO LOVES US,
- 00:04:01.764 --> 00:04:02.632
- A HEAVENLY FATHER WHO LOVES US, WHO WOULD NEVER HIDE FROM US,
- 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:04.534
- WHO WOULD NEVER HIDE FROM US, WHO HAS ALL THE ANSWERS.
- 00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:07.270
- BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, WE GET A
- 00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:09.472
- BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, WE GET A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE OUR
- 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:11.074
- CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE OUR EARTHLY FATHERS AND HAVE THE
- 00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:13.443
- EARTHLY FATHERS AND HAVE THE GRACE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE FOR
- 00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:15.445
- GRACE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE
- 00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:16.913
- THEM TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE THEM.
- 00:04:16.979 --> 00:04:18.247
- BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU
- 00:04:19.215 --> 00:04:19.916
- BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU BECOME MORE LIKE YOUR HEAVENLY
- 00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:21.317
- BECOME MORE LIKE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
- 00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:21.818
- FATHER. YOU KNOW?
- 00:04:21.884 --> 00:04:22.652
- YOU KNOW? TO EXTEND GRACE AND MERCY --
- 00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:24.454
- TO EXTEND GRACE AND MERCY -- WHICH WE ALL NEED.
- 00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:25.722
- WHICH WE ALL NEED. BUT I THINK THAT IS SO, SO
- 00:04:25.788 --> 00:04:27.290
- BUT I THINK THAT IS SO, SO AWESOME TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE A
- 00:04:27.357 --> 00:04:29.559
- AWESOME TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GOD THAT WE CAN DEPEND ON THAT
- 00:04:29.625 --> 00:04:30.927
- GOD THAT WE CAN DEPEND ON THAT WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE
- 00:04:30.993 --> 00:04:33.296
- WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US.
- 00:04:33.363 --> 00:04:35.431
- US. AND, EVEN IF THEY'RE GOING
- 00:04:35.498 --> 00:04:36.199
- AND, EVEN IF THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW WITH
- 00:04:36.265 --> 00:04:37.467
- THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW WITH THEIR EARTHLY FATHERS, GOD IS
- 00:04:37.533 --> 00:04:38.234
- THEIR EARTHLY FATHERS, GOD IS THERE--
- 00:04:38.301 --> 00:04:39.569
- THERE-- WHEREVER THERE'S A PROBLEM,
- 00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:40.737
- WHEREVER THERE'S A PROBLEM, THERE'S A SOLUTION.
- 00:04:40.803 --> 00:04:41.637

- 00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:44.240
- WHEREVER YOU'RE GOING THROUGH SADNESS, GOD HAS SOMETHING ON
- 00:04:44.307 --> 00:04:45.475
- SADNESS, GOD HAS SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, IF YOU
- 00:04:45.541 --> 00:04:46.743
- THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, IF YOU CAN JUST SEE THINGS FROM HIS
- 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:47.410

- I WAS LIKE: THIS IS ALL THE STUFF WE SHOULD NOT DO.
- 00:10:56.579 --> 00:10:58.514
- STUFF WE SHOULD NOT DO. BECAUSE WE HAD THE FIGHTING,
- 00:10:58.581 --> 00:10:59.782
- BECAUSE WE HAD THE FIGHTING, DRINKING, CHEATING, ADULTERY,
- 00:10:59.849 --> 00:11:01.050
- DRINKING, CHEATING, ADULTERY, FORTUNES WON, FORTUNES LOST,

- BUT THEN, WHEN WE REALIZED THAT BOTH OF US ONLY HAD BITS AND
- 00:11:13.562 --> 00:11:14.864
- BOTH OF US ONLY HAD BITS AND PIECES.
- 00:11:14.930 --> 00:11:16.198

- NOT BASED OFF OF: HEY, HE'S GONNA HAVE A LOT OF KIDS.
- 00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:35.117
- GONNA HAVE A LOT OF KIDS. 'CAUSE...HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY.
- 00:11:35.184 --> 00:11:35.785
- 'CAUSE...HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY. HE HAD A BARREN WIFE.
- 00:11:35.851 --> 00:11:36.886
- HE HAD A BARREN WIFE. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS A COURAGEOUS
- 00:11:36.952 --> 00:11:38.087
- NOT BECAUSE HE WAS A COURAGEOUS MAN.
- 00:11:38.154 --> 00:11:39.021
- MAN. BECAUSE HE LIED ABOUT WHO HIS
- 00:11:39.088 --> 00:11:41.023
- BECAUSE HE LIED ABOUT WHO HIS WIFE WAS TO HIM -- NOT ONCE,
- 00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:42.491
- WIFE WAS TO HIM -- NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE.
- 00:11:42.558 --> 00:11:43.926
- BUT TWICE. BUT BECAUSE -- IT SAYS IN

- BUT BECAUSE -- IT SAYS IN GENESIS 18 -- THAT GOD KNEW
- 00:11:45.427 --> 00:11:46.996
- GENESIS 18 -- THAT GOD KNEW THAT ABRAHAM WOULD TEACH HIS

- THAT ABRAHAM WOULD TEACH HIS CHILDREN IN GOD'S WAYS.
- 00:11:49.298 --> 00:11:52.601
- CHILDREN IN GOD'S WAYS. AND THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT

- AND THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT WHEN A COUPLE SAYS: WE'VE COME
- 00:11:54.036 --> 00:11:56.438
- WHEN A COUPLE SAYS: WE'VE COME FROM CRAZY WORLD.
- 00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:58.274
- FROM CRAZY WORLD. BUT GOING FORWARD...

- GOING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY NOT FEEL SORRY FOR

- ACTUALLY NOT FEEL SORRY FOR OURSELVES, BLAME EVERYBODY,
- 00:12:07.716 --> 00:12:09.151
- OURSELVES, BLAME EVERYBODY, SAY: WHY DID YOU PUT ALL THIS
- 00:12:09.218 --> 00:12:10.686
- SAY: WHY DID YOU PUT ALL THIS DYSFUNCTION ON ME?
- 00:12:10.753 --> 00:12:12.888
- DYSFUNCTION ON ME? BUT WE'RE GONNA SAY: HEY, I'M
- 00:12:12.955 --> 00:12:13.722
- BUT WE'RE GONNA SAY: HEY, I'M NOT DEFINED BY WHAT WAS DONE TO

- NOT DEFINED BY WHAT WAS DONE TO ME GROWING UP.
- 00:12:15.591 --> 00:12:16.692
- ME GROWING UP. I AM DEFINED BY WHAT WAS DONE
- 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:17.860
- I AM DEFINED BY WHAT WAS DONE FOR ME ON THE CROSS.
- 00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:19.795
- FOR ME ON THE CROSS. I AM GOING TO HAVE A BRAND-NEW
- 00:12:19.862 --> 00:12:20.796
- I AM GOING TO HAVE A BRAND-NEW LEGACY.
- 00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:23.165
- LEGACY. AND, FOR US, THAT WAS JUST A
- 00:12:23.232 --> 00:12:24.166
- AND, FOR US, THAT WAS JUST A REALLY IMPORTANT DYNAMIC.
- 00:12:24.233 --> 00:12:25.000
- REALLY IMPORTANT DYNAMIC. IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO JOHN AND
- 00:12:25.067 --> 00:12:27.436
- IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO JOHN AND I THAT WE ACTUALLY WROTE IT
- 00:12:27.503 --> 00:12:28.404
- I THAT WE ACTUALLY WROTE IT OUT.
- 00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:29.138
- OUT. WE DIDN'T-- WE DIDN'T TAKE ANY
- 00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:30.105
- WE DIDN'T-- WE DIDN'T TAKE ANY CHANCE IN AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT.
- 00:12:30.172 --> 00:12:31.941
- CHANCE IN AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT. WE WOULD JUST KIND OF VEER BACK
- 00:12:32.007 --> 00:12:34.977
- WE WOULD JUST KIND OF VEER BACK TO THE PATTERNS OF OUR

- TO THE PATTERNS OF OUR CHILDHOOD AND WHAT WE HAD SEEN.
- 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:37.813
- CHILDHOOD AND WHAT WE HAD SEEN. AND SO, I THINK, A LOT OF
- 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:39.849
- AND SO, I THINK, A LOT OF TIMES, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE:
- 00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.750
- TIMES, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE: ACTUALLY, GOD THE FATHER WANTS
- 00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:43.319
- ACTUALLY, GOD THE FATHER WANTS TO PARTNER WITH YOU IN THE
- 00:12:43.385 --> 00:12:45.254
- TO PARTNER WITH YOU IN THE AREAS WHERE YOU WERE NOT
- 00:12:45.321 --> 00:12:46.989
- AREAS WHERE YOU WERE NOT FATHERED WELL.
- 00:12:47.056 --> 00:12:48.324
- FATHERED WELL. - CECE: MMM...
- 00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:49.024
- - CECE: MMM... - LISA: AND WE CAN BE PEOPLE
- 00:12:49.091 --> 00:12:50.392
- - LISA: AND WE CAN BE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEGACY, RATHER THAN

- THAT ARE LEGACY, RATHER THAN INHERITANCE.
- 00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:52.761
- INHERITANCE. INHERITANCE IS WHAT IS LEFT
- 00:12:52.828 --> 00:12:53.362
- INHERITANCE IS WHAT IS LEFT OVER.
- 00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:54.029
- OVER. BUT A LEGACY GOES ON BEYOND
- 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:55.998
- BUT A LEGACY GOES ON BEYOND JUST ONE GENERATION.
- 00:12:56.065 --> 00:12:59.134
- JUST ONE GENERATION. IT CONTINUES IN GRANDCHILDREN.
- 00:12:59.201 --> 00:12:59.935
- IT CONTINUES IN GRANDCHILDREN. - HOSANNA: THAT'S AWESOME.
- 00:13:00.002 --> 00:13:01.437

- THIS DISTINCTION. 'CAUSE I THINK THAT THERE'S SO
- 00:13:04.974 --> 00:13:05.541
- 'CAUSE I THINK THAT THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE WATCHING RIGHT NOW,
- 00:13:05.608 --> 00:13:07.443
- WHERE, WHEN THEY HEAR THAT GOD
- 00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:08.544
- WHERE, WHEN THEY HEAR THAT GOD IS A FATHER, THAT DOESN'T SIT
- 00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:09.278
- IS A FATHER, THAT DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY
- 00:13:09.345 --> 00:13:10.613
- WELL WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
- 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:11.981
- DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A FATHER, GROWING UP.
- 00:13:12.047 --> 00:13:13.816
- A FATHER, GROWING UP. SO, I THINK FOR ALL OF US THAT
- 00:13:13.883 --> 00:13:15.084
- SO, I THINK FOR ALL OF US THAT ARE IN THIS CONVERSATION AND
- 00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:16.151
- ARE IN THIS CONVERSATION AND WATCHING AND JOINING THE
- 00:13:16.218 --> 00:13:18.287
- WATCHING AND JOINING THE CONVERSATION, WE HAVE
- 00:13:18.354 --> 00:13:19.388
- CONVERSATION, WE HAVE COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIPS WITH
- 00:13:19.455 --> 00:13:20.589
- COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE IDEA THAT GOD IS A FATHER,
- 00:13:20.656 --> 00:13:22.524
- THE IDEA THAT GOD IS A FATHER, WHETHER OF NOT WE GREW UP WITH
- 00:13:22.591 --> 00:13:23.626
- WHETHER OF NOT WE GREW UP WITH A FATHER, OR GREW UP WITH A
- 00:13:23.692 --> 00:13:24.760
- A FATHER, OR GREW UP WITH A FATHER WHO WAS ABSENT, OR GREW
- 00:13:24.827 --> 00:13:26.562
- FATHER WHO WAS ABSENT, OR GREW UP WITH A FATHER WHO WAS GOOD.
- 00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:27.930
- UP WITH A FATHER WHO WAS GOOD. BUT WE GOT IT CONFUSED WITH GOD
- 00:13:27.997 --> 00:13:30.966
- BUT WE GOT IT CONFUSED WITH GOD THE FATHER, AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
- 00:13:31.033 --> 00:13:31.967
- THE FATHER, AT DIFFERENT TIMES. AND SO, I THINK IT'S SO
- 00:13:32.034 --> 00:13:33.202
- AND SO, I THINK IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT THAT
- 00:13:33.269 --> 00:13:34.703
- BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE ACKNOWLEDGING: THERE'S A
- 00:13:34.770 --> 00:13:36.005
- WE'RE ACKNOWLEDGING: THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR EARTHLY
- 00:13:36.071 --> 00:13:37.539
- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR EARTHLY FATHER AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP
- 00:13:37.606 --> 00:13:39.408
- FATHER AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THE FATHER.
- 00:13:39.475 --> 00:13:41.210
- AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS
- 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:42.745
- AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS HOW WE CAN RECLAIM WHAT'S BEEN
- 00:13:42.811 --> 00:13:43.379
- HOW WE CAN RECLAIM WHAT'S BEEN STOLEN AND HOW WE CAN CHANGE
- 00:13:43.445 --> 00:13:44.013
- STOLEN AND HOW WE CAN CHANGE THE MINDS FOR THE NEXT
- 00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:45.281
- THE MINDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOW THEY SEE
- 00:13:45.347 --> 00:13:46.782
- GENERATION OF HOW THEY SEE FATHERHOOD FROM GOD AND IN
- 00:13:46.849 --> 00:13:48.217
- FATHERHOOD FROM GOD AND IN THEIR LIVES.
- 00:13:48.284 --> 00:13:49.919
- THEIR LIVES. WHY DO YOU GUYS THINK IT'S
- 00:13:49.985 --> 00:13:51.220
- WHY DO YOU GUYS THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A
- 00:13:51.287 --> 00:13:53.422
- IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A DISTINCTION ABOUT OUR EARTHLY
- 00:13:53.489 --> 00:13:56.992
- DISTINCTION ABOUT OUR EARTHLY FATHERS AND OUR HEAVENLY
- 00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:58.894
- FATHERS AND OUR HEAVENLY FATHER?
- 00:13:58.961 --> 00:14:00.129
- FATHER? WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
- 00:14:00.195 --> 00:14:00.829
- WHY DO YOU THINK THAT DISTINCTION IS SO IMPORTANT FOR
- 00:14:00.896 --> 00:14:02.131
- DISTINCTION IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE, AS WE KICK OFF THIS
- 00:14:02.197 --> 00:14:03.532
- US TO MAKE, AS WE KICK OFF THIS WEEK?
- 00:14:03.599 --> 00:14:04.500
- - CECE: OH, MY GOD...I THINK
- 00:14:05.067 --> 00:14:05.634
- - CECE: OH, MY GOD...I THINK IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
- 00:14:05.701 --> 00:14:06.335
- IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
- 00:14:06.402 --> 00:14:07.469
- YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HEAVENLY FATHER, TO REALIZE
- 00:14:07.536 --> 00:14:08.237
- HEAVENLY FATHER, TO REALIZE THAT HE'S PERFECT IN ALL HIS
- 00:14:08.304 --> 00:14:09.872
- THAT HE'S PERFECT IN ALL HIS WAYS.
- 00:14:09.939 --> 00:14:11.941
- WAYS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.
- 00:14:12.007 --> 00:14:12.574
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID. YOU CAN-- YOU CAN TOTALLY TRUST
- 00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:15.010
- YOU CAN-- YOU CAN TOTALLY TRUST HIM.
- 00:14:15.077 --> 00:14:16.645
- HIM. YOU KNOW, AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS
- 00:14:16.712 --> 00:14:18.380
- YOU KNOW, AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS ALL WEEK LONG, IT'S-- IT'S LIKE
- 00:14:18.447 --> 00:14:19.281
- ALL WEEK LONG, IT'S-- IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.
- 00:14:19.348 --> 00:14:20.983
- NIGHT AND DAY. LIKE YOU SAID, NO MATTER HOW
- 00:14:21.050 --> 00:14:21.717
- LIKE YOU SAID, NO MATTER HOW GREAT OF AN EARTHLY FATHER YOU
- 00:14:21.784 --> 00:14:23.819
- GREAT OF AN EARTHLY FATHER YOU HAD, IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO THE
- 00:14:23.886 --> 00:14:25.621
- HAD, IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
- 00:14:25.688 --> 00:14:27.022
- AND SO, I THINK IT'S CRUCIAL,
- 00:14:27.589 --> 00:14:28.557
- AND SO, I THINK IT'S CRUCIAL, BECAUSE IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO
- 00:14:28.624 --> 00:14:29.925
- BECAUSE IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WALK WITH HIM.
- 00:14:29.992 --> 00:14:32.161
- - TASHA: I LOVE THE QUESTION
- 00:14:33.362 --> 00:14:33.929
- - TASHA: I LOVE THE QUESTION ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE -- JUST
- 00:14:33.996 --> 00:14:36.065
- ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE -- JUST MAKING THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
- 00:14:36.131 --> 00:14:37.566
- MAKING THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE EARTHLY FATHER AND OUR
- 00:14:37.633 --> 00:14:40.669
- THE EARTHLY FATHER AND OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
- 00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:41.637
- HEAVENLY FATHER. BECAUSE, KIND OF SIMILAR TO
- 00:14:41.704 --> 00:14:42.938
- BECAUSE, KIND OF SIMILAR TO JENN -- YOU KNOW, MY FATHER WAS
- 00:14:43.005 --> 00:14:44.206
- JENN -- YOU KNOW, MY FATHER WAS GREAT.
- 00:14:44.273 --> 00:14:45.240
- (LAUGHING) I-- I THOUGHT HE WAS
- 00:14:45.808 --> 00:14:46.842
- (LAUGHING) I-- I THOUGHT HE WAS FLAWLESS MY ENTIRE LIFE.
- 00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:48.744
- BUT EVEN IN HIS FLAWLESSNESS IN
- 00:14:49.878 --> 00:14:50.980
- BUT EVEN IN HIS FLAWLESSNESS IN MY EYES, THERE WERE SOME THINGS
- 00:14:51.046 --> 00:14:52.982
- MY EYES, THERE WERE SOME THINGS -- IMPERFECTIONS -- THAT, NO
- 00:14:53.048 --> 00:14:55.484
- -- IMPERFECTIONS -- THAT, NO MATTER WHAT, HE WAS HUMAN.
- 00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:58.187
- MATTER WHAT, HE WAS HUMAN. AND I BELIEVE KNOWING THERE IS
- 00:14:58.253 --> 00:15:00.356
- AND I BELIEVE KNOWING THERE IS A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
- 00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:02.791
- A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND OUR
- 00:15:02.858 --> 00:15:04.159
- OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND OUR EARTHLY FATHER -- EVEN NO
- 00:15:04.226 --> 00:15:05.427
- EARTHLY FATHER -- EVEN NO MATTER HOW GOOD HE WAS, THERE
- 00:15:05.494 --> 00:15:07.262
- MATTER HOW GOOD HE WAS, THERE IS NONE AS GOOD AS OUR EARTHLY
- 00:15:07.329 --> 00:15:08.831
- IS NONE AS GOOD AS OUR EARTHLY FATHER.
- 00:15:08.897 --> 00:15:10.833
- - JENN: YEAH.
- 00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:13.335
- - JENN: YEAH. - TASHA: YOU KNOW, SO, IT--
- 00:15:13.402 --> 00:15:14.036
- - TASHA: YOU KNOW, SO, IT-- AND THAT'S AN INTERESTING
- 00:15:14.103 --> 00:15:14.937
- AND THAT'S AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE, I LOVED
- 00:15:15.004 --> 00:15:15.571
- PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE, I LOVED MY DAD.
- 00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:16.772
- MY DAD. BUT IMAGINE HOW MUCH GREATER
- 00:15:16.839 --> 00:15:18.173
- BUT IMAGINE HOW MUCH GREATER OUR HEAVENLY FATHER--

- - TASHA: IF I HAVE THAT TYPE OF LOVE FROM MY EARTHLY FATHER,
- 00:15:21.343 --> 00:15:24.213
- OF LOVE FROM MY EARTHLY FATHER, IMAGINE HOW MUCH GREATER OUR
- 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.015
- IMAGINE HOW MUCH GREATER OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS, HOW MUCH
- 00:15:26.081 --> 00:15:26.615
- HEAVENLY FATHER IS, HOW MUCH MORE HE LOVES US.
- 00:15:26.682 --> 00:15:29.284
- MORE HE LOVES US. HE IS PERFECT IN ALL OF HIS
- 00:15:29.351 --> 00:15:29.885
- HE IS PERFECT IN ALL OF HIS WAYS.
- 00:15:29.952 --> 00:15:30.753
- WAYS. SO, MY FATHER, IN HIS
- 00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:33.022
- SO, MY FATHER, IN HIS IMPERFECTIONS -- IN MY EYES --
- 00:15:33.088 --> 00:15:33.989
- IMPERFECTIONS -- IN MY EYES -- BEING THAT GREAT -- GOD IS SO
- 00:15:34.056 --> 00:15:34.790
- BEING THAT GREAT -- GOD IS SO MUCH GREATER.
- 00:15:34.857 --> 00:15:36.225
- MUCH GREATER. LIKE, THAT-- I LOVE THE
- 00:15:36.291 --> 00:15:38.127
- LIKE, THAT-- I LOVE THE DISTINCTION.
- 00:15:38.193 --> 00:15:38.761
- DISTINCTION. BECAUSE WE GET TO SEE HIM IN
- 00:15:38.827 --> 00:15:40.829
- BECAUSE WE GET TO SEE HIM IN ALL OF HIS GLORY, ALL OF HIS
- 00:15:40.896 --> 00:15:42.998
- ALL OF HIS GLORY, ALL OF HIS GOODNESS, THAT IF DAD WAS THAT
- 00:15:43.065 --> 00:15:45.000
- GOODNESS, THAT IF DAD WAS THAT GOOD -- OH, MY GOODNESS!
- 00:15:45.067 --> 00:15:46.502
- GOOD -- OH, MY GOODNESS! MY HEAVENLY FATHER IS SO MUCH
- 00:15:46.568 --> 00:15:48.937
- MY HEAVENLY FATHER IS SO MUCH GREATER.

- - JENN: COME ON. - LISA: WELL, I LOVE NUMBERS
- 00:15:51.306 --> 00:15:52.908
- - LISA: WELL, I LOVE NUMBERS 23, WHERE-- AS SOON AS HOSANNA
- 00:15:52.975 --> 00:15:55.310
- 23, WHERE-- AS SOON AS HOSANNA BROUGHT UP THAT DISTINCTION,
- 00:15:55.377 --> 00:15:56.712
- BROUGHT UP THAT DISTINCTION, THAT SCRIPTURE IMMEDIATELY CAME
- 00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:58.480
- THAT SCRIPTURE IMMEDIATELY CAME TO MY MIND, THAT GOD IS NOT A
- 00:15:58.547 --> 00:15:59.515
- TO MY MIND, THAT GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE.
- 00:15:59.581 --> 00:16:02.184
- MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE. - HOSANNA: YES.
- 00:16:02.251 --> 00:16:03.118
- - LISA: AND I THINK, A LOT OF
- 00:16:03.752 --> 00:16:04.620
- - LISA: AND I THINK, A LOT OF TIMES, PEOPLE -- THEY WANT TO
- 00:16:04.686 --> 00:16:05.821
- TIMES, PEOPLE -- THEY WANT TO FULFILL THESE PROMISES.
- 00:16:05.888 --> 00:16:07.189
- FULFILL THESE PROMISES. AT THE MOMENT, THEY SAY:
- 00:16:07.256 --> 00:16:09.091
- AT THE MOMENT, THEY SAY: "I'M GONNA ALWAYS BE THERE."
- 00:16:09.158 --> 00:16:10.325
- "I'M GONNA ALWAYS BE THERE." "I'M NEVER GONNA LEAVE YOU."
- 00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:12.428
- "I'M NEVER GONNA LEAVE YOU." "I'M NEVER GONNA FORSAKE YOU."
- 00:16:12.494 --> 00:16:13.228
- "I'M NEVER GONNA FORSAKE YOU." THEY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT.
- 00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:15.931
- THEY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT. IT WASN'T LIKE THEY SAID THAT
- 00:16:15.998 --> 00:16:19.134
- IT WASN'T LIKE THEY SAID THAT PROMISE, INTENDING TO LIE.
- 00:16:19.201 --> 00:16:22.838
- PROMISE, INTENDING TO LIE. BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN,
- 00:16:22.905 --> 00:16:24.606
- BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROKENNESS,
- 00:16:24.673 --> 00:16:27.543
- BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROKENNESS, BECAUSE THINGS HAPPEN, WE HAVE
- 00:16:27.609 --> 00:16:29.078
- BECAUSE THINGS HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT GOD IS NOT A
- 00:16:29.144 --> 00:16:31.413
- TO REMEMBER THAT GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE.
- 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.515
- NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
- 00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.117
- NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE'S NOT THE FATHER, THAT
- 00:16:35.184 --> 00:16:36.618
- HE'S NOT THE FATHER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT MASCULINE
- 00:16:36.685 --> 00:16:38.220
- DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT MASCULINE IN HIS EXPRESSION -- IT JUST
- 00:16:38.287 --> 00:16:39.521
- IN HIS EXPRESSION -- IT JUST MEANS THAT HE IS MORE.
- 00:16:39.588 --> 00:16:40.956
- MEANS THAT HE IS MORE. HE IS SO MUCH MORE.
- 00:16:41.023 --> 00:16:42.257
- HE IS SO MUCH MORE. SO, HE IS A FATHER TO THE
- 00:16:42.324 --> 00:16:45.894
- SO, HE IS A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS.
- 00:16:45.961 --> 00:16:46.862
- FATHERLESS. NOW, HOW CAN ONE PERSON BE
- 00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:48.764
- NOW, HOW CAN ONE PERSON BE THAT?
- 00:16:48.831 --> 00:16:49.631
- THAT? WELL, A MAN CAN'T BE, BUT GOD
- 00:16:49.698 --> 00:16:50.933
- WELL, A MAN CAN'T BE, BUT GOD CAN.
- 00:16:50.999 --> 00:16:52.034
- CAN. AND HE'S INTIMATELY INVOLVED
- 00:16:52.101 --> 00:16:53.469
- AND HE'S INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH US.
- 00:16:53.535 --> 00:16:55.504
- WITH US. AND I JUST LOVE THAT IDEA THAT
- 00:16:55.571 --> 00:16:57.172
- AND I JUST LOVE THAT IDEA THAT HE DOES NOT KEEP HIS PROMISES
- 00:16:57.239 --> 00:17:02.211
- HE DOES NOT KEEP HIS PROMISES THE WAY WE KEEP OURS OR THE WAY
- 00:17:02.277 --> 00:17:04.213
- THE WAY WE KEEP OURS OR THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE KEEP THEIR
- 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.980
- OTHER PEOPLE KEEP THEIR PROMISES TO US.
- 00:17:05.047 --> 00:17:06.482
- PROMISES TO US. AND SO, IF HE HAS SAID TO YOU,
- 00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:08.350
- AND SO, IF HE HAS SAID TO YOU, "I'M A FATHER TO YOUR
- 00:17:08.417 --> 00:17:10.686
- "I'M A FATHER TO YOUR FATHERLESS STATE," THAT "I AM

- YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A SEASON OF FEELING ALONE AND ABANDONED,

- FEELING ALONE AND ABANDONED, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'VE EVER
- 00:17:19.128 --> 00:17:20.462
- THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'VE EVER LEFT YOU ALONE OR ABANDONED"--
