00:00:01.084 --> 00:00:02.228
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:02.228 --> 00:00:14.904
We are so glad that you're here and Jared and I want to make sure that you know something right now, today, and that is the fact that you are awesome and we love you.

00:00:14.904 --> 00:00:23.187
The Power on Plants family is absolutely the best plant-based community and that is because of you.

00:00:23.187 --> 00:00:36.506
You know, every day, jared and I are walking this amazing journey to health with you and it is so heartwarming for us to see you supporting each other, sharing your ideas and building one another up.

00:00:36.506 --> 00:00:50.609
We love your heart for doing good and encouraging and helping others, but you know, sadly, when you're on this path, there can be those around you that might not always be the most encouraging people.

00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:58.369
Of course, you might expect some pushback or negativity from those who aren't on the same path to natural healing with whole plant foods.

00:00:58.369 --> 00:01:18.481
But what is shocking is when you are legitimately trying to grow and learn and strengthen your body to live your very best life because you want to be a good steward of all that God's given you and you find yourself getting shot down, so to speak, by others inside the plant-based spaces.

00:01:18.481 --> 00:01:25.426
This should not be, and yet we see it happening over and over again.

00:01:25.426 --> 00:01:28.152
But we cannot stay silent about this.

00:01:28.152 --> 00:01:35.367
You need to know what to do when you find yourself in that situation, so that's what we're sharing with you today.

00:01:35.367 --> 00:01:39.549
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:01:39.549 --> 00:01:44.891
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:01:44.891 --> 00:01:50.302
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:01:50.302 --> 00:01:56.572
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:01:56.572 --> 00:01:59.046
Hi, we're Chered and you need to resell Christ.

00:01:59.046 --> 00:02:04.230
Followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:16.449
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:23.692
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.

00:02:23.692 --> 00:02:27.469
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard.

00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:29.043
You just need the way.

00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:32.632
That's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

00:02:32.632 --> 00:02:40.870
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:46.150
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:49.806
Hello friend, welcome back.

00:02:49.806 --> 00:02:54.794
I hope you heard the intro, because it's really important to understand where we're going with this episode.

00:02:54.794 --> 00:03:00.812
I know we brought this up recently, but it is a growing trend and we see it getting worse and worse.

00:03:00.812 --> 00:03:21.633
We are ourselves inside some of the other plant based spaces, there to give encouragement and hope and help other people along their plant based journey, but what we're seeing is breaking our hearts, because you're there with good intentions, trying to learn and grow, and asking legitimate questions and getting shot down, not getting all the help you need.

00:03:21.633 --> 00:03:32.712
Now there are some people there that are nice and kind, but what breaks my heart is time and again we see people asking legitimate questions and being met with resistance.

00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:38.401
So we just wanted to spend a few moments here with you today and share an encouraging message with you.

00:03:38.401 --> 00:04:04.443
You do not have to allow the negativity of others to affect you Now, of course, you don't have control over their actions, but you do have control over how it affects you, and one way you can control that is by realizing why they might be doing the things they're doing bullying or being cruel to those who are wanting to learn and grow and become their best to live life to the fullest.

00:04:04.443 --> 00:04:23.485
The reality is that there are many people who have very low self-esteem, and so, sadly, the only way they know how to feel better about themselves is to pull others down to their level, so they can therefore lift themselves up, elevate their position.

00:04:23.947 --> 00:04:30.396
But it's a relative difference though, so instead of raising themselves up, they lower others.

00:04:30.396 --> 00:04:37.774
So there's still that difference in elevation, but it's not because they have bettered their situation or their attitude or their outlook.

00:04:37.774 --> 00:04:44.432
They haven't grown, and we see that in so many different areas in life, and sadly, we're seeing this also in the plant-based spaces.

00:04:44.964 --> 00:04:45.949
That is so true.

00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:56.706
So when you face that, I want you to realize that the issue is most often with the person stirring things up, Not because you've asked something the wrong way or maybe you shouldn't have said what you said.

00:04:56.706 --> 00:05:08.692
If you said it with a genuine interest to learn and grow and you had no malintent, don't blame yourselves or feel bad about what you did, but also don't feel like you have to come out punching and kicking and screaming either.

00:05:08.692 --> 00:05:19.237
We're going to talk about what are some things you can do in this situation, and one of those things is to consider you have control over where you spend your time.

00:05:19.237 --> 00:05:27.029
You do not have to surround yourself with these negative thinkers, negative news, negative people on a regular basis.

00:05:27.029 --> 00:05:28.428
I brought up news there.

00:05:28.428 --> 00:05:30.091
It's like with the news media.

00:05:30.091 --> 00:05:39.434
If you spend all day long with the news playing on your TV, what's going to be your thought and your feeling about what's going on in the world and in your own life?

00:05:39.434 --> 00:05:42.526
Lack of control, fear I mean.

00:05:42.526 --> 00:05:44.572
We saw this happen over the past several years.

00:05:44.572 --> 00:05:49.115
People are so eaten up by fear it is literally making them sick, paralyzed.

00:05:49.115 --> 00:05:50.137
That's what our enemy wants.

00:05:50.137 --> 00:06:03.862
He wants us to be paralyzed so that we can't move forward in these things that are best for us, and if it's something biblical, if it's something that we were meant to have in the garden and in our lives so that we can feel the best and live our lives to the fullest.

00:06:03.862 --> 00:06:13.711
Of course he's going to try to stop that, and one way he can do that is by getting you discouraged, feeling like there's no hope out there, and that happens so easily with the news.

00:06:14.185 --> 00:06:17.915
And he doesn't necessarily try to convince you that eating this way is wrong.

00:06:17.915 --> 00:06:25.709
He just may get you distracted by all these other negative attitudes, questions, negative people in these spaces.

00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:27.033
It's a distraction.

00:06:27.446 --> 00:06:31.156
So you have control over where you spend your time.

00:06:31.156 --> 00:06:40.213
The environment you surround yourself with is going to greatly affect your life in every area, and that includes the people around you.

00:06:40.213 --> 00:06:44.295
We talk a lot about environment as one of our five steps, of our success path.

00:06:44.295 --> 00:06:53.454
That's how firmly Jared not believing this, because we see time and time again the environment around you, the people, places and things.

00:06:53.454 --> 00:07:05.276
So it's not just the things and the food and getting the food right and getting the wrong food out and putting something back in its place and not leaving it empty-handed All these things we talk about learning how to do and why it's so important to do that.

00:07:05.276 --> 00:07:07.209
People are a part of that.

00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:14.202
So you will find and you've probably heard like the five people you spend the most time around Are the five people you're gonna be the most like.

00:07:14.202 --> 00:07:18.920
They kinda define the life that you live into and it is so very true.

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:25.221
And this is the same thing that happens when you're in the plant-based space and community is super important.

00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:25.523
Why?

00:07:25.523 --> 00:07:43.559
Because many of you don't have anybody else in your life friends or family members who are on this journey and maybe you do, but you just need some extra support and you need a place you can go to learn from someone who's gone before you, because you know that you're gonna get the answers there, or at least you hope so.

00:07:43.559 --> 00:07:46.463
And then you go and you get shot down and you lose hope.

00:07:46.463 --> 00:07:47.860
That affects you.

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:57.541
The environment is going to affect what you're going to reap in the end, the results that you're gonna be able to get or not get, the hope that you're gonna have along the way.

00:07:57.541 --> 00:08:13.264
Are you gonna stay encouraged, Are you gonna be excited about the journey, or is it gonna be a drudgery because there's no one around you planting those seeds of hope so that you're going to reap something that's amazing in your life, those results that you want in your future?

00:08:13.264 --> 00:08:19.341
So the people you surround yourself with your environment in that way is gonna greatly affect your life.

00:08:19.341 --> 00:08:25.062
This is why there is so much instruction in the Bible about who you surround yourself with.

00:08:25.062 --> 00:08:31.541
The wrong thoughts and actions can quickly start to take root and affect your thoughts and actions.

00:08:31.541 --> 00:08:40.144
So choose to set yourself around friends to encourage you on your plant-based journey to take the next step of becoming your very best.

00:08:40.144 --> 00:08:50.163
Put yourself in the places where these kinds of people gather together to build their very best life and watch as your confidence and your results start to soar.

00:08:50.163 --> 00:08:52.942
Maybe you're thinking, Anita, I'm not sure where to go.

00:08:52.942 --> 00:08:54.821
I don't know where to find that kind of thing.

00:08:54.821 --> 00:08:57.000
Join us inside a podcast.

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.946
Insider's experience our free community at poweronplantscomphordslashpi.

00:09:02.946 --> 00:09:09.836
This is where there is none of the negative nonsense going on.

00:09:09.836 --> 00:09:10.097
Why?

00:09:10.097 --> 00:09:13.063
Because our people are just not that way.

00:09:13.063 --> 00:09:20.601
And if one little negative Nelly or Ned does decide they wanna stray in, we have a plan in place to deal with that, okay.

00:09:20.643 --> 00:09:21.404
Let us know about it.

00:09:21.534 --> 00:09:29.660
We're in there, we see what's going on, we will kindly correct them, and after that they would need to find another group because it's just not their space.

00:09:29.660 --> 00:09:32.644
We don't allow that kind of stinking thinking in our group.

00:09:32.644 --> 00:09:34.100
It's just how it is.

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:39.663
We love you too much to provide a space where that kind of nonsense is allowed to thrive.

00:09:39.663 --> 00:09:43.063
You do not have to put yourself in those situations.

00:09:43.063 --> 00:10:09.206
Listen, plant-based foods are the most nutrient-dense foods that can radically change your life in amazing ways, and what Jared and I know is that when you get yourself into the encouraging environment where you're learning how to eat more of these life-changing foods in the way that's quick, simple, delicious and encouraging, you are not gonna believe how exciting your life becomes.

00:10:09.615 --> 00:10:15.500
And if you're in some of these spaces and you have witnessed what we're discussing or experienced it yourself.

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:22.384
Like Anita said, some of these people may have low self-esteem, but ultimately we don't really know their motivation.

00:10:22.384 --> 00:10:30.083
Maybe they've had some hard times, I mean, maybe there's some things in their background that we just don't know and probably we'll never know.

00:10:30.083 --> 00:10:33.355
One extend some grace to them, I would say.

00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:35.923
Don't necessarily respond ugly to them.

00:10:36.423 --> 00:10:38.359
Just leave it alone, don't escalate.

00:10:38.495 --> 00:10:39.759
It really won't help anything.

00:10:40.937 --> 00:10:43.284
Don't throw fuel on the fire.

00:10:43.514 --> 00:10:48.585
And you could quote unquote, and as I'm saying this, I'm doing air quotes with my hands.

00:10:48.585 --> 00:10:50.442
Anita can even attest to that.

00:10:50.442 --> 00:10:51.804
You could be right.

00:10:51.804 --> 00:10:53.897
But what will that serve?

00:10:53.897 --> 00:10:57.681
Because I don't know that you would really convince them in the long run.

00:10:57.681 --> 00:10:59.255
And that's not even why you're there.

00:10:59.255 --> 00:11:02.580
You're not there to get into an argument to try to convince people.

00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:05.138
You're there to learn to grow.

00:11:05.138 --> 00:11:08.941
So if you encounter that, you just have to let that situation go.

00:11:09.269 --> 00:11:12.340
You've got to keep the end game in mind.

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:14.197
What is your goal?

00:11:14.197 --> 00:11:15.335
What are you after here?

00:11:15.335 --> 00:11:17.577
Why are you here trying to learn that?

00:11:17.577 --> 00:11:26.977
And you don't want to get sidetracked and sucked into these back and forths that really don't solve anything and you're trying to defend this person, defend that person and stand up against this next thing.

00:11:26.977 --> 00:11:30.458
You know you're getting shot down 20 different ways and it's exhausting.

00:11:30.970 --> 00:11:31.955
I just thought of an analogy.

00:11:31.955 --> 00:11:33.154
It's not a car analogy.

00:11:33.529 --> 00:11:37.193
You'd be hard to say it anyway, so I can help it.

00:11:37.274 --> 00:11:38.538
Okay, I just thought of something.

00:11:38.538 --> 00:11:42.399
We have some games in our home that are collaborative games.

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:50.878
Now there are some games like Monopoly, whatever, where you're trying to be the winner, but that's not really the ultimate goal here.

00:11:50.878 --> 00:11:57.783
We have some games where you either win or you lose together, because you're all working together for that end goal.

00:11:57.783 --> 00:12:01.460
Our community is that same thing.

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:15.602
We're all going to win together, and if there's ever a situation where that's not the case, then, like Anita said, we're going to lovingly correct that, because it doesn't really serve the greater good of what we're trying to achieve.

00:12:15.789 --> 00:12:16.071
Y'all.

00:12:16.071 --> 00:12:18.258
We have just mined another gold nugget.

00:12:18.258 --> 00:12:21.336
Christy girl, mine and for nuggets.

00:12:21.336 --> 00:12:22.841
Oh, my word Y'all okay.

00:12:22.841 --> 00:12:26.259
If you're not in pie, get in there just to see this.

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:27.610
Mine and for nuggets, christy.

00:12:27.610 --> 00:12:30.620
If I have not posted that in yet in pie, I'm going to post it.

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:35.361
Christy made a cartoon about how we mine Jared's gold nuggets from his brain.

00:12:35.361 --> 00:12:38.198
It is hilarious, but this is it.

00:12:38.198 --> 00:12:41.038
He has just dropped a gold nugget here for you.

00:12:41.038 --> 00:12:48.201
Think about this for a minute A cooperative game versus a game that you're playing for your own benefit.

00:12:48.201 --> 00:12:55.442
Only Okay, when you get into the right group, it is like playing the most wonderful cooperative board game you've ever played.

00:12:55.442 --> 00:12:58.359
Only it's better because this is about your future.

00:12:58.359 --> 00:13:01.320
It's not about some little thing you're doing for fun on the side.

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:02.774
Yeah, it needs to be fun.

00:13:02.774 --> 00:13:08.881
Sure, it should be fun, but when you go together, when you do these things together, these are my most favorite games.

00:13:08.881 --> 00:13:11.996
If you haven't played a cooperative board game, you need to.

00:13:11.996 --> 00:13:13.100
They are so much fun.

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:13.760
They are a lot of fun.

00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:19.482
Yeah, so you're all sitting around the table and you're all trying to help each other win the game.

00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:21.941
Just like within the whole food plant-based bases.

00:13:21.941 --> 00:13:23.690
You're talking amongst one another.

00:13:23.690 --> 00:13:25.035
It's like, hey, I can do this.

00:13:25.035 --> 00:13:29.621
What can you do in your turn to advance the goal for us to win together?

00:13:29.909 --> 00:13:31.416
Total gold nugget.

00:13:31.416 --> 00:13:36.389
That was brilliant, and that's why we always say get in there and share what you're doing.

00:13:36.389 --> 00:13:39.153
It's not about getting a perfect picture, it's about sharing.

00:13:39.153 --> 00:13:40.236
Look, I made this.

00:13:40.236 --> 00:13:41.614
This is how it turned out.

00:13:41.614 --> 00:13:42.355
I like this.

00:13:42.355 --> 00:13:43.298
I didn't like that.

00:13:43.298 --> 00:13:44.936
These are all different kinds of posts.

00:13:44.936 --> 00:13:46.946
You can make what would you do instead?

00:13:46.946 --> 00:13:47.850
Or I want to make this.

00:13:47.850 --> 00:13:48.855
I saw this recipe.

00:13:48.855 --> 00:13:50.096
What should I use instead?

00:13:50.096 --> 00:13:51.789
All these different things?

00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:53.437
Hey, I listened to the podcast.

00:13:53.437 --> 00:13:54.755
I got this nugget out of it.

00:13:54.755 --> 00:13:55.573
It was so amazing.

00:13:55.573 --> 00:13:57.436
That's going to help somebody else.

00:13:57.529 --> 00:13:57.890
And listen.

00:13:57.890 --> 00:14:08.417
Don't be afraid to share those things, because other people may hear that same podcast, but they may miss a certain key element that you pick up on, and then you can share, and then you bring it to the forefront.

00:14:08.417 --> 00:14:12.178
People may think, oh, I didn't notice that, for whatever reason.

00:14:12.178 --> 00:14:15.977
Maybe they're driving down the road, they got distracted and they missed one specific point, you never know.

00:14:15.977 --> 00:14:18.456
But the key here is share it.

00:14:18.636 --> 00:14:21.236
Yes, don't ever make your life just about you.

00:14:21.236 --> 00:14:22.495
That is not kingdom.

00:14:22.495 --> 00:14:27.976
Living Our life is about helping each other along the way, and by doing so, you grow.

00:14:27.976 --> 00:14:29.653
You are blessed.

00:14:29.653 --> 00:14:32.833
It's amazing, you can't I mean, you've heard it you can't out give God.

00:14:32.833 --> 00:14:34.634
It is so, very true.

00:14:34.634 --> 00:14:47.562
So be about the father's business, even in the plant-based spaces, but don't put yourself into the plant-based spaces where you're surrounded by the things that are going to drag you down.

00:14:47.562 --> 00:14:49.796
That's not what this is about.

00:14:49.796 --> 00:14:58.077
Get into the spaces where we're all learning and growing together and helping one another by sharing and as you share, it will help you.

00:14:58.077 --> 00:15:02.900
It's going to skyrocket you and launch you, but you're doing it because you want to help other people.

00:15:02.900 --> 00:15:05.357
At the same time, they will help you.

00:15:05.357 --> 00:15:08.717
They will plant seeds in your life, your planting seeds in theirs.

00:15:08.717 --> 00:15:26.422
And this cooperative game, this beautiful thing, plays out where, in the end, everyone wins, because you not only get to where you wanted to go, you're going to end up so much farther and so much faster, and things are going to happen that you never even expected to happen or thought were possible.

00:15:26.422 --> 00:15:28.471
This is how the kingdom works.

00:15:28.730 --> 00:15:29.774
And you don't go there alone.

00:15:30.335 --> 00:15:42.926
You don't go along and so you have somebody to celebrate with when you get there and to be a shoulder for you to lean on when the hard times come right, when you do it the right way in community, in supportive community.

00:15:42.926 --> 00:15:48.910
This is the most enjoyable, fun, realistic, wonderful way to live.

00:15:48.910 --> 00:15:53.778
Where it gets hard Is you get yourself into the spaces that are not the right spaces.

00:15:53.778 --> 00:15:56.120
You're surrounded by the wrong environment.

00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:02.183
It sets you up for failures, like surrounding yourself with the news all day long and getting the bad news all day long, and makes life really hard.

00:16:02.183 --> 00:16:11.971
It can paralyze you in fear and in other things, but we literally see people then remove themselves from those spaces, get them self into the right spaces and still not get results.

00:16:11.971 --> 00:16:13.533
Do you know why they're not getting results?

00:16:13.533 --> 00:16:18.881
Because they are not becoming a part of the cooperative game, and I'm not saying this is a game.

00:16:18.881 --> 00:16:21.985
Your life is not a game, but it works in the same way.

00:16:21.985 --> 00:16:24.729
You seriously don't realize what a gold nugget dropped.

00:16:24.729 --> 00:16:37.009
This is huge when you get yourself into a space where you are learning and growing with other people along the way, especially if you don't have this in your day today.

00:16:37.009 --> 00:16:43.121
It's like what Robin said and Laney, different people in our group in the power plant society of said all the time.

00:16:43.121 --> 00:16:47.888
I look forward to our monthly group coaching sessions because this is about community.

00:16:47.888 --> 00:16:50.091
We get in there, we build each other up, we help each other.

00:16:50.091 --> 00:16:51.817
It's happening all the time.

00:16:51.817 --> 00:17:00.789
I look forward to when I get off work and I can come home and check and see what's happening in the community today and share what's happening with me and look at other ideas I'm getting from other people.

00:17:00.789 --> 00:17:11.748
We look forward to that because that is where we gain excitement and encouragement and support and answers.

00:17:11.748 --> 00:17:15.010
It's not just coming in there to read what everyone's posted.

00:17:15.010 --> 00:17:18.885
It's about sharing ideas with them about what they've posted.

00:17:18.885 --> 00:17:22.075
It's about posting what I've been doing and sharing the ideas.

00:17:22.075 --> 00:17:30.963
We see people coming into the right community and not getting results and saying you know, I'm just not doing this right now, I really don't have the time.

00:17:30.963 --> 00:17:38.291
I can't do that because you're not making yourself a priority and you're not becoming a part of the game.

00:17:38.291 --> 00:17:40.459
Okay, I need to call it again.

00:17:40.459 --> 00:17:41.861
Again, this is not a game.

00:17:41.861 --> 00:17:55.690
But when you become a part of the cooperative system, where you're giving encouragement and sewing into others, you are going to read because others when they come in and they so into the game.

00:17:55.690 --> 00:17:57.714
It's just amazing what happens.

00:17:58.855 --> 00:18:08.259
And really the community is like a mastermind, and by that I mean everybody's contributing, they're giving ideas, they're receiving ideas and it's just it's.

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:09.564
It's a mastermind.

00:18:09.564 --> 00:18:12.092
I really don't know what else to call it but that but perfect.

00:18:12.092 --> 00:18:12.994
I thought of another analogy.

00:18:12.994 --> 00:18:18.115
The wrong community is like wearing a pair of shoes that are a size too small.

00:18:18.115 --> 00:18:24.595
You can put them on, you could probably walk in them, but it's going to be painful, it's going to make every step dreadful.

00:18:24.595 --> 00:18:27.324
Don't be in the wrong community.

00:18:27.324 --> 00:18:28.648
Find the right community.

00:18:28.648 --> 00:18:30.355
That's like that pair of shoes that fits perfectly.

00:18:31.817 --> 00:18:40.555
And then get in there and become a cooperative part of the learning and the growth and the asking questions and the giving that answers.

00:18:40.555 --> 00:18:45.875
Listen, you may think you're brand new, but I promise you within a week or two you're going to have an answer for somebody.

00:18:45.875 --> 00:18:57.605
You're going to have an answer for somebody when they're asking a question, because you're going to know, because you're doing, you're taking steps and if you feel like I can't do it all at once, you do one thing at a time.

00:18:57.605 --> 00:19:03.115
You find that one new favorite, that next new favorite, and you do that by becoming a active part of life.

00:19:03.115 --> 00:19:06.626
It doesn't have to take a long time.

00:19:06.626 --> 00:19:08.634
I'm not talking about spending 30 minutes to an hour a day.

00:19:08.634 --> 00:19:15.029
I'm talking five minutes, seven minutes tops coming in and just quick post picture.

00:19:15.029 --> 00:19:17.214
You know how long does it take you to snap a picture of a meal you're about to put in your mouth?

00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:21.991
Really, if you don't edit it, it doesn't take but a few seconds.

00:19:21.991 --> 00:19:22.272
Don't edit it.

00:19:22.292 --> 00:19:23.622
You don't edit it, just take it, post it.

00:19:23.622 --> 00:19:27.434
It's not about that it's in that this is real life.

00:19:27.434 --> 00:19:40.994
We have set up a real community, real life with real people, and we're all in this together and, as believers in Yeshua, as brothers and sisters in God's kingdom, we are a part of this life cooperatively.

00:19:40.994 --> 00:19:44.630
We are here not just to make it about us, but to help each other.

00:19:44.630 --> 00:19:54.781
You know, you're each a different part of the body and if one part's not doing well, it's going to affect the other part.

00:19:54.781 --> 00:20:06.682
So, as you sew in and you help each other and you're in a supportive community and you're not gonna get shot down when you have the questions that you need answered, no question is a dumb question.

00:20:06.682 --> 00:20:08.140
No question is a bad question.

00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:10.824
You don't have to worry and think should I ask this?

00:20:10.824 --> 00:20:12.138
Well, I mean seriously.

00:20:12.138 --> 00:20:15.103
You can waste hours of your life wondering how to ask a question.

00:20:15.103 --> 00:20:16.619
Should you ask a question?

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:17.623
Should I pose this?

00:20:17.623 --> 00:20:20.182
Will people think that looks bad on the side of my bowl?

00:20:20.182 --> 00:20:22.401
Is it arranged just right?

00:20:22.401 --> 00:20:28.183
All these crazy things you worry about because you're not in real community, whether people are supporting each other and caring about each other.

00:20:28.183 --> 00:20:31.881
Please don't come into our communities and worry about that kind of thing.

00:20:31.881 --> 00:20:38.482
This is about getting you real results, walking side by side with you, helping other people get real results too.

00:20:38.482 --> 00:20:40.119
This is the kingdom way.

00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:47.138
Do you know that when we do these things together, there is so much more that can happen in the kingdom of God?

00:20:47.138 --> 00:20:51.598
Do you think the Holy Spirit can do more in you than he did in Yeshua?

00:20:51.598 --> 00:20:57.881
God says in his word you have the same Holy Spirit that raised Yeshua from the dead.

00:20:57.881 --> 00:21:01.124
That same power is in you and yet much more you will do.

00:21:01.124 --> 00:21:03.260
Do you think you're gonna do greater things than Yeshua?

00:21:03.260 --> 00:21:14.220
Or do you think because the Holy Spirit can be in you and Sally and John and Christie and Carrie and Robin and Lainey and Curtis and all these different people?

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:21.083
Okay, because God, because the Holy Spirit can be now in multiple people at the same time.

00:21:21.083 --> 00:21:23.501
This is not about you.

00:21:23.501 --> 00:21:27.601
It's about you journeying with each other to accomplish more in the kingdom.

00:21:27.601 --> 00:21:37.079
The more well we are, the better you feel, and the better your neighbor feels, your brother, your sister feels, the stronger we are in our body and our mind, able to think clearly.

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.601
The enemy does not want this.

00:21:38.601 --> 00:21:40.842
He wants you to feel isolated.

00:21:40.842 --> 00:21:42.642
He doesn't want you to post.

00:21:42.642 --> 00:21:44.582
He doesn't want you to help other people.

00:21:44.582 --> 00:21:46.582
He doesn't want you to get the help you need.

00:21:46.582 --> 00:21:51.098
He wants to distract you and make you think it's too hard and it takes too much time.

00:21:51.098 --> 00:21:53.767
All these lies that you believed.

00:21:53.767 --> 00:21:55.090
They are not true.

00:21:55.090 --> 00:22:04.549
Get into community, start sharing with each other, become a cooperative part of the body and much greater things will we be able to accomplish together.

00:22:04.549 --> 00:22:09.131
These are kingdom principles, and kingdom principles work.

00:22:09.131 --> 00:22:11.488
We see it time and time again.

00:22:11.488 --> 00:22:14.509
We love that you're part of Power On Plants family.

00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:17.106
You are what makes all the difference.

00:22:17.106 --> 00:22:17.407
Here.

00:22:17.407 --> 00:22:19.988
We are for you, we are praying for you.

00:22:19.988 --> 00:23:00.180
We cannot wait to help you get to the next level and to see you help each other get there too, and we'll see you soon inside the community at PowerOnPlantscom forward slash pie inside Power On Plants Society for those of you who are members, and we'll see you again next time on Power On Plants Podcast Music.

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:07.796
Thank you.
