Hi Kevin 🎉🥳
My mother made light of a horrible situation. Had many people turn on me for something that was 100% an attack on me. To witness my own mother rally with these same people, made it unforgivable. Later discovered she's a borderline Narcissist type. The best I can do is forgive and pray for her, but stay the hell away from her. Satan certainly likes to push the injustices.....
Sometimes we need to safely distance ourselves from people (even our own family) who are just seeking to destroy us. I'm glad that you had the Holy Spirit's insight, wisdom, and guidance to protect yourself. God's peace and continued protection for you.
Great content. Spiritual warfare is so real. Glad I found your channel. Gos bless you brother.
Thanks so much. We continuously lean into God to help us prevail against the attacks of the enemy. Glad you found the channel. God bless you.
Hi Kevin 🥳 Great intro 👍 Yep, happened last night, condemning past deed 😞 Not Asimov 😱😂 You know what's interesting about that event is the Holy Spirit 🕊️ must have moved them to have compassion and mercy because they were ready to kill In order to have an accusation against Jesus. Leave the diaper 🧷 in the trash 😱😖😂👍💯 ✝️ Great job brother!
Thanks so much! We have to move into forgiveness in our lives. If we don’t we’re trapped in a cycle of death and misery. God bless you brother!
I’m racked with it I am in my bedroom reading the Bible for days for relief and renewing of my mind. Think about North Carolina Japan just lost 200k ppl California This is the start of the sorrows. Jesus help us
Peace for your mind and heart. Jesus has overcome the world and its sorrows.

You don’t have to live their story!
@@DarickEirls that’s the truth brother. You just have to live the story that God is creating for you.
Hi everyone 🤗 Atari 🎉👍 15 yrs That's some little show 😂 Thank you for the transparency brother. We'll keep you in prayer 🙏
Truly appreciate it. Continually learning that worry has never served me well.
In love Terminator 2 😂 I guessed the quickest prayer 🥳
"Help" is the quickest prayer, and I'm glad it doesn't have to be more complicated than that at times.
Hi Kevin 👍💯✝️ How did you add subtitles ❓😃
I use a subscription service called Descript
One of the most helpful bits of advice from you on this episode is that people view other people as a certain role or a certain character in their personal narrative and inner-dialogue, for better or worse and that’s going to be extremely helpful in enabling me to empathize with that person and being able to ask questions for answers when seeking clarification. When you mention that some people are like that wounded dog in a really terrible junkyard due to bad ownership, that really struck a cord with me in relation to someone I know and enabling me to have more compassion on them and their story, even though they’ve expressed that they don’t want or need it. Thank you for the wisdom 🙏🏽
I'm glad this helped @RobbDepp It's SO DIFFICULT to have that sympathy and compassion for others, especially if they are lashing out at us. We continue to invite the Holy Spirit in to guide us with wisdom so we know how to interact with these people with love and grace. Thanks for watching brother!
Woot woot another video 👍💯 "It ain't over until the fat lady sings" 🎵 🎶 Independence Day 😂
It sure ain’t ;-)
Blessed be the name of the lord Jesus Christ name Amen 77 Amen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Amen 🔥
Amen and amen!
While I am certainly not an atheist, I have to comment on the idea that WE were created in GOD'S image. It seems far more likely that WE have (re)created god in OUR conceitedly preferred image. Man has continuously evolved through the ages from a very different creature to our current form, so what image are we ascribing to God? I have no problem believing that God set us on a planned path of physical and spiritual growth through the ages, but see no reason why he had to match us each step of the evolutionary ladder, adapting to our environment
Pretty insightful episode!!! Definitely gonna give another listen to see what other nuggets of wisdom I can get from it 🙏🏽
Truly appreciate your support by watching it. Jesus helps us through that pain. God bless you!
@ Anytime brother!!!! 🙏🏽🤙🏽
Woot woot 40 minute podcast 👍 " Every second of my life is passing me by" 😞 Sadly that's what caregiving feels like although that's a selfish satanic view point I have to be on guard against ❗ A friend & I started reading the Quran 📖 to understand what it really says. My condolence for much loss. My dad passed away in December also 😞✝️ I got disciplined two nights ago 😱 in the middle of an intense fever I was "moved" to give up my recent video game 🎮 😢 (time consuming and idol) " It's hard to be a baby, it's hard to be a baby" 😂 His wife would be very mature 😇 according to the emotionally spiritually healthy inventory by Pete Scazzero (You should interview him. Hopefully he doesn't charge 💰) Wow that was a fast 40 minutes. Great job 💯
Continued peace for you brother on your mission of caregiving.
👍🙏✝️
I am so proud of you. God is going to greatly use you so keep going. When I lost my dad my world callapsed, but thanks be to God he helps us through, one day at a time. We are one day closer to Jesus. Love you friend!!
Amen Charity! Thanks so much for your continued support. God helps us as we keep moving forward. Continued peace for you as you move forward without your dad being here. We move towards our loved ones in the Kingdom while following God's call for our lives. Love you sister!
🤣 live long & prosper 🤚💯 In all seriousness, yeah Living Trust & Will are super important 🏠 Meltdowns ate obviously horrible. Using the Marco Polo app to share with accountability partners is so helpful (as iron sharpens iron) 💪 "Do not lean on your own understanding" ✝️ 😱 Now i have to read the end of Lord of the rings 😂 but that's exactly what my life caregiving has been like. Wow my own fellowship of the ring 😇 Bye Doug , till we meet again 🌅
Live long and prosper… I thought the same thing with that image. Doug was always thinking about others, even as he was establishing that trust for after he passed. Really do recommend reading the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. Some great stuff that couldn’t fit in the movies (including Tom Bombadill and the actual defeat of Saruman)
I had the honor and pleasure of being a part of Doug’s CR group and well I didn’t take the opportunity to speak to him one on one, I’m one of the lucky few who was able to learn a lot from his wisdom and life experience, especially while he was undergoing his cancer treatment. This episode truly shows you where his head and heart were at and at how far ahead he thought and much he truly relied on God, which should be a lesson to apply to all of our lives.. He is with Jesus now and we will see Him again. ✝️🙏🏽 🕊️
Thanks so much @RobbDepp. You got it spot on. I’m so grateful with my time and conversations with Doug. He was a truly special man and a blessing. God rest his soul.
That was such a powerful video. Thank you for continuing to share his legacy.
Thanks so much Charity. I'm so grateful for the time I got to spend with him. God rest his soul.
😞🙏✝️ Yeup "DNR" 👍😮😂 I could do that Im awake playing video games til 4 am 😂 Good for you Kevin 😞✝️
Definitely not an easy practice of 2am vigil prayer, but so worth it. That’s part of the Exodus 90 app which I’ll be practicing again this upcoming Lent.
Maybe don't have as creepy music in the background
Reflecting on dealing with incompetent people as supervisors. I realized it forged my integrity. Forced me to make a choice and to live by it. And it became part of my personality through the decades. And ultimately an inheritance I could share with those around me. But more importantly, in my present day struggle as a caregiver. I look back and say that was tough but I can't keep my integrity in this situation too. ✝️
That’s a great insight and lesson for yourself. Forging that integrity with will outlast the bad behavior of others.
Ding 🎶 😂 no worries didn't even notice it ❤ I was a photographer for D many decades ago. The environment of bullying I think really Is the inheritance of the example set by Walt 😞 There is a lot of scumbag administrators and educators I had to deal with in 21 years in public school as a teacher. Even trying to be a good Christian at the time. You still can't help but pray that they burn 🔥 in hell 👿 🤣 But people like that are living a double life. Ultimately, they're not really happy and they end up with unavoidable health problems from stress. All we can do is play the good little Christian and as you commented this isn't the real life so we need to be examples for them. As Jesus said Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven ✝️
Still waters run deep. That’s the thought that comes to mind. It’s learning to be responsive in the face of infuriating incompetence. What’s the lesson I can take away and apply so that if I’m in a future position of leadership, I don’t treat others the way I’ve been treated. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments!
Hi, I didn't realize I missed this video. Glad I caught it Oh dear 😢 , makes me think i really wish i had a stronger support group but Jesus had always provided ✝️ BBQ 🥰🍗🥩 Nothing 😂 👍 I told my bff all i want for xmas 🎄 this year is prayers 🙏😂 Work 7 days ❗ I'm sure women and mothers would like to tar feather 🐔 him 🍜🍼🍽️🧶🪡🧵🛏️🛋️🛁🚽🪠🧸🧷🧹🧽🧺🧦😂 Oh 😮 committed to 8;hours of sleep 💤😴

🙏😊
Amen. Easy to say but terrifying to remember when I'm going through drama at home. But good reminder. Nice way to keep his memory alive. Glad he had a legacy to leave behind in helping others 🙏👍✝️💯
@@crstepstudy so grateful for my time with Doug. Such a huge blessing and grateful I can share these videos of him. Continued peace for you!

Thank you for this!! Great reminder!! It helps so much to have something to look forward to! Also, as a single person who is "used to it" also, this is so important to remind people that others matter too.
Glad to help Charity. We've got to remember to incorporate everyone into the church and not people in pockets of isolation. Thanks so much for watching! - Kevin
I get stressed out by LinkedIn and all those social media sites. I'll only use it when I'm job hunting and just look at the job listings. Thanks anyway.
Then we must be reunited! <3 Or else God creates unbearing and eternal loss...
I love this reminder.... as one who feels constantly busy with so many things, rest is vital. Rest goes against everything earthly, strive strive strive, but we don't have to live in that pressure. I love you guys!!
Thanks for your faithful comments and following us!
Love you Charity! So grateful for your support. And yes, get that rest even when it feels like you’re crawling out of your skin to do it. The Lord will refresh us.
