When the narcissist sells you a dream the narcissist will give you what if scenarios? They will give you false hope. They will paint a detailed picture of the future for you This is how they keep you under their control Because they give you these false promises That things are going to get better They will tell you whatever they think you want to hear Because you've already told them what you want and need You've already told them what you're looking for So it's easy for them to present this image of the future to you and then they will use it to pretend As though they're really about it As though they want the same thing as you But they're just using it to prevent you from leaving them It doesn't mean that they're really going to go forward with it The future faking was a part of the love bombing when they first targeted you And then they use it throughout the relationship to keep you stuck To keep you holding on for something better or greater To keep you thinking that maybe one day things will change They will tell you that they're going to do something They will tell you that they have all of these plans for the future They just need time But they never take the steps to make it a reality Which is how you may waste years of your life for something to happen Because you don't realize it's all fake And even if you try to leave They will just use the future faking again They will make you think you're throwing away your future They will make you think you're the one who is giving up and then they will tell you They're going to give your future to someone else Someone who will stand by them Someone who would do anything for them Someone who's not going to give up They're good at using their imagination To give you a vision of the future So even if you leave it will make you come back It will make you wait for this possible future Until you realize nothing has changed Because they're just saying they're going to do something for you in the future So that they can get what they want now Which is very damaging to you It's very hurtful And it's humiliating Because you're being taken for a fool They're deceiving you about their true intentions But it's not hard for them to make you believe it Because it's something you want to believe You want to believe they're good people You want to believe they care about you But if you didn't believe it It wouldn't work They already know what you want to hear Because you've already told them And sometimes they may actually mean what they're saying to you Because whatever they feel becomes the truth Which means the truth can change depending on their feelings But their feelings can change from one moment to the next So the truth can change at any moment Their false promises can change They can't keep their promises Because they're a different person from one day to the next All the narcissist really cares about Is what they can get from you And they will agree to anything If it means that they can get something from you in that moment They may not think about the consequences of that agreement Or whether or not they actually want to do it But they will go along with it If it means they can get what they want It doesn't really matter if they're lying or not If it's not going to happen now It's never going to happen Because they will change their mind at any moment There is no future with a narcissist There's only the same problems and lies That never get resolved Narcissists are good at selling people a dream They're good at future faking Because they're fake people They're used to deceiving people And they do it just to make themselves feel important Just to make themselves feel like they're worth something The false promises they give to you are not really for you They're for the narcissist So that they can get what they want from you Or because it makes them feel good They don't want the responsibility of keeping these promises And they haven't even thought about how they're going to make it a reality They just say it because it makes them feel good It makes them feel important So despite all of the abuse Despite all of the problems and difficulties that you went through There is nothing in the future The narcissist just wanted you to believe that there was So that they could get what they want Thank you for watching I hope this video resonates with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Coaching Inquiries You can email me at coaching.narcisfiver.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Whoa, you're not just the board though. We're talking about this. That's why there's people going across. We can tie off any excess. It's all the trains like I did. Let me use my foot, too. You got both feet on there? Is this the whole board? You good? All right. Watch the sign.


Hi, I'm Matthew Coast head dating coach and founder at commitment connection calm and today We're we have a question from a woman in our community, and she's asking Does he really love me? So let's talk about ways to Recognize whether or not a guy Love really loves you and so there there's some telltale sign some Signals that a guy will give off if he really is in love with you, and here's what they are The first one is that he initiates contact with you. So if a guy's in love with you, he's gonna be thinking about you a lot and He may not even be able to help himself But con end up contacting you because you'll be like oh man I just like her so much and maybe he's read some crappy dating advice It's told him not to do it, but he'll be like oh, I'm gonna contact her you know and so if he initiates contact with you That's a great sign that that that he might be in love with you The second one is that he expresses his love to you and this doesn't have to be him saying it It could be the way that he acts right so there's kind of a Really popular book out there called the five love languages and it talks about the five different ways that people Express love to somebody else and one of them might be Let's go through the five real quick the first one is Acts of service so if he does things for you that could be as an expression of love Another one is physical touch so if he touches you a lot that could be his expression of love Another one is spending quality time So if he wants to get with you one-on-one and spend quality time with you that could be his expression of love Another one is gift giving so if he gives you gifts That could be another way that he expresses his love to you and the last one is is verbal verbal So you know appreciating you telling you that he loves you that kind of thing So if he expresses his love to you there that's a really good sign that he's in love with you The third one is that he tries to protect you Defends you or he takes your side even even if you're wrong so Guys when they are in love with someone they will start defending that person they will take that person's side They will try to protect that person because they feel like that's their role as a man is to be protective And so if a guy is being really protective with you then he that's a good sign that he might be in love with you as well The next one is that he wants you to meet his friends and family and Don't get this mistaken with he does have you meet his friends and family because You know some guys have friends and family that are not not very great and sometimes they're embarrassed of them and They might not decide to have you meet them, but if he really wants you to And and maybe even if he is embarrassed of him he might still have you meet him anyway So if he wants you to meet his friends and family, that's a good sign and the last one is that he hints about Or he talks about having some type of future with you So this could just be as simple as you know talking about things that he wants to do with you in the future Or spending time with you in the future or just another one is just assuming That the two of you will be together sometime in the future. That's a good hint that he is in love with you So that's it for today If you want more information on how to attract a quality man into a committed Lasting relationship make sure you go to my website at commitment connection calm and take the quiz That's there. I'm Matthew coast and I'll speak with you again soon

Here's this week's project. Yeah, it's a container. But come on, how beautiful is this container? The lid is printed with Matterhackers wood PLA, and the bottom is printed with this beautiful matte sky blue PLA from Overture. The white inlay Greek pattern is white PLA, but I don't know what brand this one is.  The technique I wanted to explore with this project was printing a circular inlay pattern that wraps fully around the cylinder and simply snaps into place. I want to devote the next few videos to this design because although it may look like a simple container, there are quite a few interesting design techniques I want to show. Now for my Patreon supporters, I've gone ahead and uploaded the full 40-minute step-by-step tutorial along with the Fusion 360 file. If you enjoy my tutorials and find them helpful, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter as it allows me to create more videos for you plus you get some bonus benefits. Also, if you'd like a more structured approach to learning Fusion 360, check out my Fusion 360 Quick Start course, link below. Okay, back to the beautiful container. I'm going to separate this project into two videos. In this one, I'll go over creating the circular inlay and how to create a perfect wrap around the cylindrical object. In video two, I'll discuss my technique for isolating the pattern and preparing it for 3D printing. The techniques I used to design my own supports in Fusion 360 that allowed me to go from this to this. I didn't begin this project with the inlay approach in mind. Like most of my projects, it kind of evolved into that. I first intended to print everything as one piece and simply paint it. Because I had added chamfers to the wrap around pattern, it made it hard to paint in the lines. Also, the fact that I'm not a great painter and can be a little impatient compounded the problem. I decided I would just over paint and then come back and clean up the paint later. Well, this didn't work exactly as planned and we won't talk about this anymore. So I decided instead of printing the container in key pattern as one piece, I would print the key pattern separately and simply glue it into place. Something like this. And then I decided I would add a chamfer to the bottom that would align and hold the key pattern at its proper height and inlay the top ring. Then I thought, well, why not just make the key pattern as an inlay? This introduced new issues I would have to solve such as printing this circular pattern with one extruder without having to deal with the nightmare of removing and cleaning up a mess of supports. I'll save that part for my next video. And in this video, I want to show how I approach the wrap around Greek key pattern. All right, let's begin with my approach to designing this Greek key pattern. First, I'll begin by explaining a quick concept and then we'll jump into the design. So here I've got a cylinder and in front of that cylinder, I've created a sketch and on that sketch, I've created this rectangle. Now, if I open up that sketch, you'll see that I've constrained it in certain ways, but I haven't fully constrained it. So I've given it a height from the bottom here. I've given it a height of the rectangle, but I didn't constrain the length. And you can see that that's 140 millimeters. All right, so because I didn't constrain it, you see that it's blue instead of black here. And I also can just click this and drag it to make it wider. I'm going to leave that open for a reason or I should say unconstrained for a reason. So I'll finish this sketch. And I can now go ahead and let's create an emboss. We're going to emboss this rectangle onto that cylinder by going to create down to emboss. We'll select our rectangle here and then for our face, we'll select our cylinder. And it takes that sketch here, that rectangle and creates an emboss on the cylinder. And we know that's a perfect emboss, because if I click here, again, that's 140 millimeters. And if I click on the inside of this edge here, actually it gives it to me in radius form. But if I go to inspect and then click on it, it now gives me what that length is, 140 millimeters. So that tells me that that's the exact length of this rectangle. So we have a perfect emboss there. Now I can go ahead and take this rectangle and just drag it out and notice how the length of that emboss will grow. It's going to continue to match whatever the length of my rectangle is here. And that will continue happening until I exceed the length of the circle, that circumference. So again, if you select it, you'll get it in diameter form here. But if I go to inspect and then select it, you'll get that circumference here as length. So the diameter was 100 millimeter, which makes our length 314.159 millimeters. And currently our rectangle is at 269. So I can continue like slowly tweaking it to try to get it as close as I can to meet. And the issue here is if I go over, like if I take this and I drag it way out, it no longer refreshes. In fact, it'll give me like a quick warning here because this now exceeds 314 and it can't overlap itself.  And then, so that's still too high, bring it low, and then it'll continue to be dynamic and respond to the emboss. And so, you know, I can try to like really try to nudge this in to get it as close as I can.  But that's really a silly way to approach this. We can simply go ahead and define this to equal the circumference of our circle here. And that should get it to give us a perfect wrap. So what I can do is go back to that sketch and say, all right, let me just add a dimension here. Just put it up here and do 314.159. Enter. Now, if I click finish sketch, that's going to give me that perfect emboss. Okay, wanted to establish that and now we'll jump in and create our Greek pattern key to revolve around our cylinder. All right, I'll begin this design by first, let's create our cylinder and I'll go through this really quick because a lot of this is quite straightforward. So I just created a sketch on my XY plane. I'm going to start with a cylinder here right on the origin. I'm going to start by giving it again a radius of sorry, a diameter of 100 millimeters. And then I'll finish that sketch. Let me extrude this up, go up 110 millimeters. Let's create that offset plane here. I'm just going to grab that sensor plane, drag it out. Let's go, let's say negative 70 millimeters sounds good just to put me right in front of it. Then I'll create a sketch right on that plane I just created and we're going to zoom in. All right, now I'm going to project the outline of my cylinder by hitting P and I'll simply click the specified entities, click on it, click OK. Now I can remove my or untaggle the visibility of my bodies here and I'll get that top and bottom line showing me the edge of my cylinder. All right, here's the approach I'm going to take to create the Greek pattern. So it's important here actually which makes it a lot easier to follow this is if you just use your grid spacing here to your advantage. So you want to make sure it matches mine. So if you go here to your grid settings, click here on grid settings and then as far as the two options here you have adaptive and fixed check fixed and then go ahead and change your major grid spacing to 10 minus subdivision to one and click OK. All right, now each of these blocks here, the grid is 10 millimeters and so the way I approach this is I went up, I'm going to go up six blocks here to start my sketch. So one, two, three, four, five, six right here. I just determined that starting it there is going to center it right in the middle between the top and bottom lines and that way we don't have to worry about moving it into place later. All right, so I'll grab my line tool here from the create menu or simply hit L and I lost my place two, three, four, five, six. I'm going to start here. I'm going to go down one. So just a way you can make this pattern is you increase the number of grid spacings by one each time. So down one, right two, up three, left four and then down five and then we're going to go to the right another five and then so that will end at just one grid spacing from this edge here. Click that check mark and then we're going to do the same thing on the inside right here. So one, two, three, four and then four there and then we're going to close the ends here and also this one here and then we have our key pattern. Okay, so the approach I took here if I see if I click on this line here we can see that that's 50 millimeters right. Let me finish this sketch for a second bringing the body back into view. Now this length here or our circumference is 314 right. So if we want to get this to wrap around the circumference here right like the total length here has to equal this circumference here. So you know one way we could do that is if I go back to the sketch we can create a rectangular pattern of this and get it to equal 314. So let's say we'll just do that for a second and then I'll come back and show a different way. So let me create a pattern here. So a rectangular pattern. I'm going to double click to select this chain my direction. I'll click this bottom edge here to set the direction and I can start dragging this arrow across actually. I know that that's the length there is 50 millimeters so I can change the distance type to spacing go ahead and type 50 for distance and I know since this is 50 millimeters long if I make six of these it's going to get me close right it'll get me to 300 millimeters. Change spacing or distance here back to 50 instead of 80. Okay now I have that I can finish that sketch and this will be I can do a quick inspect here to verify between this edge and this edge 300 millimeters. So I know that this is 314 the circumference so it's not going to give me a full wrap right so I can go to create I can go to emboss select each one of these and then select my face and then I'll have this and so we can see it's looking looking good but then we've got that spacing there right because we're about roughly 14 millimeters shy. So you know a few options we can go there we can come here and make sure to change this so that the full length equals exactly that circumference in this case it's going to be easier to change that circumference to match the 300 here. So let's do that instead finish sketch go back to that first sketch where I have my circumference there. All right here we're gonna have to go back to some old algebra days right so the circle wants to be defined in terms of a diameter and we know that the circumference of a circle equals diameter times pi so we can solve for diameter because we know that diameter equals circumference divided by pi so in that case if we know we want the circumference to be 300 millimeters we'll just go ahead and type that formula in so that would be 300 divided by pi and you have to be actually I'll show you you can type 3.14 if you want but you know if you want to be more precise just go ahead and type pi and that'll give you a lot more significant figures there so to type pi you're gonna have to do capital P and I small p and small i will not work here so you'll need to make sure that that you have capital P and capital I will enter and now we'll get our diameter that we need to give us that circumference which is 95.493 click finish sketch and we can see here that well our circumference definitely changed but it didn't update our emboss here and this is there's actually an issue here and it's a rounding issue is what it turns out to be so because we entered pi there and if I go back to this sketch here you know this distance here is 300 which should equal exactly the 300 of the circumference there but I'll show you why I think it's a rounding issue if I click finish sketch I go back to that first sketch here where I define this if I go back to the dimension here basically what it comes down to is that this circumference has to be exactly the same size or a slightly bigger than the length of my emboss otherwise this will not work so what I'm gonna do here is go ahead and add 0.001 and watch how that fixes it if I click finish sketch here perfect no more error and I get a perfect emboss okay now that I've shown you that I'm gonna show you another way which I think is probably a better way to approach this notice also you have that little seam there it's not really gonna it's not much of an issue actually it won't even show when you're 3d printed but notice this next approach I'm gonna show actually you won't even see that scene so alright I'm gonna undo until before I created this pattern here of the sketch so I'm just gonna keep hitting undo until I go back to one pattern here okay a better approach I found to do this is to go ahead and just emboss one instance here so if I go to create down to emboss select this and emboss it onto my surface here I've got one and now if I create a revolve of this it'll actually work better so let me first go ahead and come back to this first sketch I ended up undoing that part so I have to redefine this 300 divided by pi gives me the right circumference I need and now I can go to create down to pattern do a circular pattern type I'm gonna do features select my emboss and then the axis of rotation I can go ahead and select the bottom edge of that circle there and I will enter six of these for my quantity and enter and now you can see how it worked perfectly and I didn't have to worry about the whole rounding issue here by adding you know point zero zero one to that circumference so that ended up working a lot better and I don't even get a scene in here so it just does a perfect emboss there okay and you can see you know definitely if you wanted to approach this with user parameters you can put all your formulas here and make it so that this entire thing is fully parametric you can even go the full route and make for example this sketch here so that this pattern can fully change with the circumference of your cylinder a little more involved you could definitely do that okay I'll end it here because I don't want to have this video go too long but basically I just wanted to show the approach I took here to create that perfect emboss around a cylinder and in the next video I'll talk about how I then got to this part here which I got that pattern to be an inlay inside the model here and some techniques I approached here to get this to print so you can see I've added some chamfers here to the cylinder which allows this part here to actually print without supports so I want to talk a little bit about that technique in my next video and also talk about printing this shape here because you can see this would be a nightmare to print if you're just using one extruder for example I mean if you've got like the multi material unit where you can or multiple heads on your printer where you can print your supports in a different material or you can print two colors at once you know you can get away with printing that but a lot of us just have a single printer with one extruder so we have to kind of get creative and how we model our designs and so I really wanted to approach this with a way that you know didn't have to generate supports within the slicer so that they're easily removed and I want to show the technique I took there to print this and get it to fit exactly on this cylinder and of course I have the lid here which also got to fit perfectly on the container but I'll save those for next video here just wanted to keep this straightforward to one topic and again I have the entire I think it turned out to be like a full 40 minute tutorial on my patreon page so my patreon subscribers you have access to that plus the Fusion 360 file for this design here also can you guys see how I'm sure I'm gonna get this question but you can see there's a little gap sorry this trying to get in this line a little gap there between you know the inlay and the container for my in order for this to fit but I'll talk about that in the next video okay yeah so patreon subscribers you already have access to the full tutorial on my page and if you're not yet a patreon supporter and you enjoyed my tutorials and find them helpful consider supporting my channel it really helps me in taking the time off to create these videos for you and you also get some bonuses on my page which I've linked below also I do have a quick start course and more advanced courses in Fusion 360 for those of you looking for a more structured approach to learning Fusion 360 so check that out as well I've got the links below along with my Fusion 360 constraints cheat sheet so I know I'm throwing a lot at you but a lot of good resources down below in the description you'll see the links all right guys leave any questions you have for me below and I'll look at them and maybe address them in the next video but stay tuned for that one I'll be back soon see you in a bit

Dedicated to the strength of the nation now heard on more than 1,300 radio stations. Proudly we hail. Proudly we hail starring Billy Burke in the fabulous Deleers. The United States Army and United States Air Force presentation. And now here is your producer, the well-known Hollywood showman, C.P. McGregor. Thank you, thank you. And greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to your Theatre of Stars, where the motion picture world's finest talent appears in Pleasure and Joy. Billy Burke is our proudly we hailed star and appears in a brilliant comedy, The Fabulous Deleers. Miss Burke portrays the mother of a very confusing family and does so in her usual excellent manner, with hilarious situations. We'll have the curtain for act one of our comedy in just a moment. But first, Wendell Niles. Friends, your representative abroad is the U.S. Army or Air Force man. Both abroad and at home, he represents a free way of life, a nation devoted to peace. His is an honorable and respected career. And that's why so many of the best young men in America are volunteering for a career in our Army or Air Force. Your soldiers and airmen are engaged in a work that is increasing their personal stature in the eyes of their countrymen and at the same time keeping America strong and at peace. Now once again, our producer. It's curtain time and here's act one of The Fabulous Deleers starring Billy Burke as Cynthia Deleer. The Deleer family was comprised of four. There were three children now growing up, Nancy, Pete and Christine. And there was the mother Cynthia. And that was what perplexed the neighbors. How a mere four could create such constant pandemonium. He has to say that Cynthia Deleer and her family were merely eccentric as bearing very unkind to adjectives. But let's drop into the Deleer living room and observe them in person. All but mother who hasn't arrived home yet. Why doesn't someone answer the door? I'm busy, but you get it, Christine. When you're certainly a revolting sex with a lulling about like a washed out beachcomber, I thought you said you were busy nature boy. I'm busy relaxing. Dear sister. Anybody live here? You call this living? What do you want? Well, if I must be explicit, your furniture. Are you Mrs. Deleer? No, I'm Miss Deleer. Look, would you mind saying what you said over again? Well, it's very simple, Mrs. Deleer. I represent the firm of Hackett and Chase. They're lawyers and they represent... Don't tell me. Let me guess. Oh, let me. Our creditors. Right. I've come to collect on the assorted notes they hold. Or you take the furniture? Well, that, plus the house, the grounds and other tangible properties. Oh, no. If you promise to take tone debt over there at the piano, it's a deal. Pete, I... Oh, this is awful. I'm sorry, Mr. Deleer, but that's the way it is. Please understand it. It isn't anything personal. I just happen to be working my way through law school with this job. Oh, dear, there's always some trouble.  Thank you. Sit down anywhere you like. The furniture's yours anyway. There are 88 notes to choose from and she can't find a good one.  In any way, the man's come for your piano. What did you say? This man wants some money or out everything goes. Oh, oh, pardon me. This is my sister Christine Deleer. I'm Nancy and this is Pete. Hi. Well, why on earth didn't mother pay these people? Could be. She didn't have any money. I read somewhere there are people like that. Don't be flippant, Pete.  At least there always is on the first of the month. This is the tenth. No payments have been made for two years. Two years? Oh, dear, this is terrible. And Hackett and Chase have reached the limit of their patience. You can't blame them. No, no, I suppose not.  There's no tea, I looked. Coffee? No, we're out of that too. You, you're on business. Oh, but, well, that's no reason we can't be friends. No, no, it isn't. You know, you're really all right. I, I am. You really are. Oh, well, I, oh, I just realized my hair. I haven't finished drying it. Oh, I like it that way. Reminds me of, of limp noodles. Uh-oh, a conquest Nancy. You'd better take advantage of it. Well, so long as you're not taking the piano today, I think I'll go meditate on my concerto. Children? Children? Oh, here's mother now, Mr. Newell. And Newell, I'm warning you. From now on, anything can happen. Oh, children, I've had the most wonderful afternoon. I, oh, oh, what a charming young man. You must ask him to stay for dinner, Nancy. He came to see you, mother. Well, he can still stay for dinner. Oh, but children, I want you to see what I brought home. I found him in the park.  Yes, ma'am. Good heavens. Who on earth is that? His whole name is Mordecai Smith. That's right, folks. But my friends call me Mo. You guys can call me Mo. Mo can cook. You mean really, ma'am? Isn't that wonderful?  We need you. You know how it is living alone.  So I took up cooking to take me mind off me stomach. He was head chef at Leavenworth. But, mother, that's a penitentiary. But of course it is, darling. Mother knows that.  Yeah. But I always got out on good behavior. But what was the use? I only had to go back again.  You know how it is. Yes, yes, indeed, yes. We know. But as Shakespeare says, sweet are the uses of adversity. No, mother, not Shakespeare now.  And this hour life exempt from public haunt finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermen in stones, and good in everything. Gee. That was swell, lady. Oh, really, doll? You know any more? Know any more, my dear man. I was one of America's foremost Shakespearean actresses. Mother, you must listen to me for just a moment. Mr. Newell wants to talk to you. Oh, how nice. I shall adore talking to Mr. Poole. The name is Newell. Oh, I'm sorry. And we'll talk in a minute, but first I must get Mo to work. Want that I should make you a cake for dinner? You can bake a cake? I'm sure if you can produce a cake and our bear an excuse for a pantry, you're a magician. Peter, our larder is loaded. Show Mo our beautiful kitchen. Come on, Mo. It's up to you to produce a cake. I'd be right in, Mo. Oh, dear, I'm so happy about him. He's going to stay here and cook for us. An ex-convict live here? Oh, why not? The poor man has to live someplace. Mother, it won't matter about Mo because he won't live here. Oh, good heavens. So early in the afternoon. I wouldn't think of letting him take it now. Everything's so must-up. And besides, Mo's using the kitchen. Mother, you don't understand. Mrs. Deleer, the collection company I represent has a lien. They're coming tomorrow afternoon to take over, the furniture and everything. Oh, dear. Why didn't you say so in the first place?  What are we going to do? I don't know, Mrs. Deleer. Don't worry about that. You just can't come dashing in and taking everything out from under us, making some without some provision. Well, I simply won't go to that clock hotel. It's grim. Don't you think it's grim? That lobby, for instance. Now when I was studying interior decorating, I was no more a... You can't blame Hackett and Chase. I beg your pardon. Mother, that's the name of the firm he works for. It's not up to them to take care of us. We've got to take care of ourselves. The name is new. Oh, I'm sorry. But actually, must we all be so downright serious about this simple little matter? Oh, Mother, it isn't a simple little matter. We've got to raise money somehow to pay them or out we go. That's right, Mrs. Deleer. And you look like such a nice young man.  Never trust a good-looking young man. Mrs. Deleer, I hate this as much as you do. Oh, that's a very pretty speech. But it doesn't give us back our house. And another thing. You simply can't take the house till after next Wednesday because next week is Boy Scout Week. Boy Scout Week? Yes. Mother, what in heaven's name is that to do with taking our house? Well, because I felt I should do something about it. I don't ever want it said of me that I don't do my part in the building of youth. Ah, yes, yes, I know. But Mother, what's that to do with Wednesday? I just dropped into Scout headquarters. I invited the scout master to lunch and he's bringing a Boy Scout along. Remind me to get that youngster's name, dear. And it began with a T. T, well, well, well, well, no, no, no, no. I want to have place cards, you know. Oh, Mother. Mother, we can't even feed ourselves, let alone a hungry scout master in his charge. Well, still, we must do our part, dear. Oh, we mustn't be selfish. Take the house. I'll be given time to think this over.  I don't believe in making snap judgments. Yes, I can see that. Besides, it wouldn't be fair to you to hack it and run or whatever those silly names are. Oh, yes. Well, tomorrow then, and we'll have a nice long talk. Goodbye.  Yes, yes, isn't she?  Well, maybe I can talk to my bosses. Maybe there's some way you could make payments. Look, none of us earn any money. We don't know how. We only know how to spend it. You see, we get an income, a small income, but that's gone almost as soon as we get it. You've been very nice, and I'm afraid you must think it's pretty incompetent and silly. Well, the Deleers are kind of delirious. Oh. But I'd like to come back and see you. I mean, when I'm not on business. Nancy! Yes, Mother? Tell Mr. Newell not to slam the door on his way out. Most cake will fall. Oh, Mother! It's all right, really. Besides, you finally got my name right. Because briefly from our story, the fabulous Deleers, starring Billy Burke, to bring you an important message from your government. You young fellas who want to fly, do you remember that U.S. Air Force plane you saw winging through the sky the other day? Well, the pilot was a young man interested in aviation just like you. He had completed two years of college, or maybe he passed an equivalent exam given by the Air Force. He was single between the ages of 20 and 26 and one-half, and had met the physical requirements. He went to aviation cadet school. He learned all about airplanes, their engines, how to pilot them, how to chart his course. After a year of this training, which he completed successfully, he was commissioned a pilot in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Or maybe he qualified for a regular commission. Either way, his pay now ranges up to $336 a month. And he's doing what he loves, flying. Why don't you find out if you can qualify for aviation cadet pilot training? Ask at any Air Force base or recruiting station right away. Our curtain rises in act two of the fabulous Deleers starring Billy Burke as Cynthia Deleer. The incredible Deleers about to be dispossessed from their home in a foreclosure threatened by Hackett and Chase don't seem to be too much concerned about the crisis. Led by their whimsical mother, Cynthia, they have gathered around their home. It seems the Leavenworth loss was the Deleers game. Boy, what a cake. Gosh, folks, I'm glad you like it. Oh, Mo, it's grand. We live like this from now on. Cakes, pies, everything. Mo says he can cook everything. Yes, ma'am, at Leavenworth I cook for $3,000 and three meals a day too. $3,000, think of that. Mo? Mo, I've got an idea. Wonderful idea. Now, Mother, please, no more ideas. We're in enough trouble as it is. But this is an idea that will save our house and furniture and everything. We'll open an inn. We'll call it the Cafe De Deer. How vulgar. Anything that makes money is not vulgar, Christine. If Mo can cook for 3,000 people, why not twist it? Wait a minute. Maybe Mother's got something there. Wednesday we'll have Mr. Newell. Am I right? Yes, Newell.  Pete, I think you're right. Mother does have something there. I'll be hostess. I've got a lovely tea gown. It will be just the right thing. Nancy can be cashier. Just as long as she doesn't play the piano, she can do anything. Mother, for once in your life, I really think you've got a paying idea. Well, of course I have, dear.  Now let me see. Oh, dear. I wonder where we should sit, Mr. Herket. Herket. I mean packet. Oh, Pete. Hmm, lunch smells wonderful. Put who, Mother? That dreadful man whose name begins with an H. The one who's coming in for the, you know, for the house. Oh, well, the house is practically his and put him at the... Perfect idea. By the way, Mother, what became of my black silk dressing robe? Oh, I gave it to MacRuscio over a cloak. MacRuscio? I never heard of him. Oh, don't be tiresome, Pete. He's perfectly marvelous character, lived in Elizabethan times and made beautifully. You don't mind, do you, dear? Dying beautiful? Oh, loaning your robe. We're doing Romeo and Juliet at my dramatic class. I think costumes help such a lot. Hmm. You haven't got enough places at the table, have you? Well, of course I have. One, two, three. Oh, the Boy Scout. The Scout Master. Boy Scout? Yes, remember, this is Boy Scout Week in our city and we must do our part. Yes. I think it begins with a T, yes, T. That's right. He must be a very fat boy because the Scout Master said it would take a lot of food. Well, I guess Mo can take care of that, all right. Oh, and I must find Christine. She's to play. She only knows one piece, the tale of the Vienna Woods. Be sure she plays that or we're dead. Oh, I'll make sure. That's so lovely with lunch. I always consider Strauss an excellent aid to digestion. He wants to the door, darling, right away. Yes, mother. Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, Mr. Lear. This is Mr. Hackett, the head of the firm. Mr. Chase couldn't get away. Never mind all that, I'm in a hurry. I just want to look things over, Miss. See what condition the furnace is in. Cigarette burn just as I thought. Now look here, now. And that cane seed that needs bending. Oh, and a wine stain. Disgraceful. Totally irresponsible people, it's plain to see. Waves nine, you know.  Hey, hey, Mrs. Dilly, I've got to see you. Them church down at the market forgot to do. Oh, excuse me. Who's this creature? And stop waving that knife. Who, me? If I was to see that butcher, I'd use this knife. Mo, Mo, do go back into the kitchen. How do you do, gentlemen? This is Mo, you must mind him. He's just out of Leavenworth and a little unrestrained. Leavenworth? He killed anyone. Except accidentally. And you'll forgive him even that after you've had lunch. Lunch? Why, who said anything about lunch? Well, that's what you're here for, didn't you know? Oh, dear, dear. Why don't people tell people things? I never eat lunch, my Libby, you know. Oh, I'm sorry. But how lovely, because that leaves more for him. The Boy Scout. There's one coming for lunch. I told the scout master that the members of your firm were rather acting as hosts to him because you know this is Boy Scout Week. Really, that's something of an imposition, madam, you know. You really are, you know.  Well, I hadn't thought of that. Then everything's settled. You'll stay. Oh, of course you will. How lovely of you. Just put your briefcase over there and make yourself at home. Oh, excuse me, I won't be a minute. What's that?  Now, keep your heads, children. Don't stand under any falling bricks. Well, I don't know. I guess it's the scout master with that young master, T. Haven't I forgot to get his name? Oh, looks as though he's brought friends. Franz, he's brought a whole troupe. Troupe? That was his name. Well, how wonderful of you to think of it, young man. Good heavens, no wonder the scout master was worried about food. Oh, mother dear, you didn't invite one scout. A troupe of them. A whole troupe. Thank you for lunch, ma'am. Oh, how nice to see you, Mr.... all of you. Now, you must meet my family. This is my daughter Nancy. Say hello to scout master Troupe, dear. The name is Hill, Mr. Lear. Glad to know you, Mr. Hill. And my daughter Christine. Glad to know you, Mr. Lear. Pete, my son and Mr. Newell and this charming, charming gentleman who has so delightfully offered to act as host. Hacket of hit-and-run. Correction, please. The names are Hackett and Chase. I'm hit-it. I mean, I'm run. Oh, what am I saying? Oh, well, what's in a name? A rose by any other... would smell. Now, everybody just relax. Boys, the place is yours. Dally as you will at the Café de Lear. Oh, not bad for a motto. Take over, Nancy, darling. I must away to the kitchen. Oh, but, mother, you can't leave me like this. This is the town. You've got to do something. You fed 3,000 men at Leavenworth. You've only got to feed 50 here at Dally. Only one thing stopping me, ma'am. The grub. All I need's a truck garden and a Texas steer. Wait. Why didn't I think of it before? Mo, listen to me. You will do this. And we'll have all the food we need. Now, listen carefully. Give our thanks to Mr. Chase, too. Well, you got through it all right. Such leadership. For what citizens these boys will grow up to be. Hack it and Chase are proud to be your host. And as for our lovely hostess. Oh, yes. Those papers, Mr. No, forget it. From now on, we're really partners. It's Café de Lear. Any woman who can cook for a whole troop of unexpected guests. Oh, he's nothing. Show them such a good time. Can do anything. The town is yours. Oh, bless. Oh, you know, Mother Darling, I guess I was wrong. Once in a while you do have an idea that works. Well, of course, dear.  I want to say this, Mrs. Delear. This has been one of the most pleasantest days in my whole life. Oh, yes, yes.  Now, you just charge it to me. Oh, how sweet of you. But don't worry. I have already charged it to you. Wasn't that clever of me? With the fabulous Delear's, our star, Billy Burke, will return for a curtain call after this timely message from Wendell Niles. High school graduates, here's how you can go on with your education while establishing yourself in a worthwhile career. The answer is the U.S. Army. In the Army, you'll learn to master one of many skills or trades. You'll be working with other fellows your own age. You'll receive good pay and you'll have the chance to see some of those foreign countries you've read so much about. And here's where the schooling comes in. You can study courses of your own choosing. It's true just about any course a young man could ask for is available. You take these studies through the Armed Forces Institute and the only cost is a nominal registration fee. Yes, high school graduates, the Army gives you two big opportunities in one offer. Further education and a career with a future. Why don't you talk it over and get the facts for yourself. And I'll once again our star, Billy Burke, and our producer. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet the star of our show, a great actress and artist and a very clever and charming lady, Mrs. Florene Zegfeld, better known as Billy Burke. Thank you. Billy, after 18 happily married years, I don't suppose anyone in the world knew Florene Zegfeld as well as you. And I was just wondering a while ago if you were going to write his biography. Well, you know, Will Rogers, before his untimely death, insisted that the story be written about Florene. And? Yes, I'm going to do it as soon as I return from New York. You know, the Schubert and I are preparing another follies, the new Zegfeld follies. Isn't it wonderful? So many of today's headliners in the entertainment world where Zegfeld discoveries. Yes, indeed. There's Eddie Cantor. Oh yes, you're with him now and Mr. Rogers too. I just have to mention his name again. And then there was Fanny Bryson, Virginia Bruce, Ina Claire, Irene Dunn, Paulette Goddard, Ruby Keeler, Mae Murray, and Billy Burke. Oh, how sweet of you, T.P. T.P. And in addition to the stars he discovered, his production formula still stands as a criterion of show business. What you mean, for example, he's having brought the ballet into musicals, among other things. I know we're both on our favorite topic, Billy, but before I tell you about next week in our Theatre of Stars, I just want to say I'll be looking for your book on Zegfeld and this year's edition of the follies. Oh, thank you. And I'll be dialing your way next week. Who's playing, T.P.? Well, she finally got it right. Next week, Billy, and ladies and gentlemen, Victor Moutour comes our way to star in a bright comedy as a very noisy play from a jail sentence by a lady attorney, who, in turn, gets both herself and Kelly jailed. You'll like the irrepressible Kelly. What does C.P. mean, city police? Well, oh, it's been lovely talking to you, but really, I must hurry along now or I'll be late for Mr. McGregor's curtain call. Goodbye. Goodbye, Kelly. Be sure to join us next week, ladies and gentlemen, when we present Victor Moutour in Honeymoon for Three. Until next week, this is C.P. McGregor saying thanks for listening and cheerio from Hollywood. Billy Burke appears in the courtesy of the Hollywood Coordinating Committee, which arranges for the appearance of all stars on this program. The orchestra is under the direction of Eddie Scravan. This program is rebroadcast to the Armed Forces overseas through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. Remember proudly we hail next time presents Victor Moutour. This program was transcribed in Hollywood at this time, Wendell Niles speaking.


Probably the biggest mistake people make in working in a hack-a-moor are the two things. Number one, they think because you have a hack-a-moor, you don't do anything. You just put your hand down. Well, that's totally irrelevant to training a horse, so that's not true. But then the other thing, and I've been guilty of this myself, is don't ever let that horse get luggy. You've got to understand the hack-a-moor well enough to keep him off of it so that your timing stays good. You don't want him to just be noodley and giving under it like he would in a snaffle. That's not the purpose of the hack-a-moor. But at the same time, if he's taking your timing away in the stop or in the turn because you're lugging on this hack-a-moor, then you've totally used it wrong and you're not doing any good training. That's why I said I told JD I was coming around here to tell him, hey, right in the middle of that turn, just give him a little hop come here. And before I got here to tell him, he did it perfectly. Perfect timing, and that little horse jumped back. And then the next time he came over, he was right back through there. That was a great example of how to use that hack-a-moor. Let him land, let him start to swing on his own, and then use that to just say, hey, come here to me. But if they get luggy in that thing, then you have to figure out something different. But if we all have a tendency with a snaffle to do too much, so our application is a little overdone, that's the downside to a snaffle. You could train one in a snaffle just as well, just like some guys do. But we all have a tendency to ask for more and be more in the mix with a snaffle than we do when we stick that aqua-moor on him and say, hey, I'm going to go stop, and then I've got to let him start, and then I might assist him some, but he almost has to start on his own or it gets a little rigid in that hack-a-moor. So it makes us be a little more disciplined in waiting on that horse to make a decision. Yeah. It's a pretty moving horse. Yeah, he is.  He walks all the way through there just like right there. There's just no effort. You know, another thing, and I'm not just going to, and Jaydee's horn, because he's here on video, but I've noticed all of them really great rock riders have a respect for a horse that other people don't have and compassion. And Jaydee's, that's one reason I'm so high on him. He's a great horseman, but he still has that rock rider respect for a horse. Yeah, so this being the cow, this is me on the horse. Okay, so my cow turns, and as I'm coming through there, right here, I want to go to the cow's neck.   So if she's ahead of me, I've got to ride all the way to there. By doing that, then I start to control the cow. If I just ride to the shoulder of the cow, then that cow's always controlling me wherever I go. If I ride out to the head of it, that cow's controlling me wherever I go. But if I stick his head in that cow's neck, now I've got control of her all the way across the pin. That pressure makes her get away from me. Okay, so that also goes all back to what we've been talking about in the last two or three horses. If you go there and land, you're set up perfectly for that turn to pull your horse right with it. If you, back here, that turn pushes you out here. If you're out there, that turn...


Hey guys, welcome back. I don't have the other good break Okay Right. So in the in the previous lecture, we Concluded on the chapter of women in ministry this chapter 22 Okay, I hope you all are doing all right. Yeah, I think Okay Right, so let's move on to chapter 23 Chapter 23. This is the section 4 In the book the house of God Chapter 23 and this chapter we will discuss about the systems and processes Within the local church, right? In the one of the chapters that we covered in the last class was about order the importance of having order which will help in avoiding all the confusion and the chaos When there is order and so this chapter addresses a few of that are some practical aspects of ministry and organization And in all of this again, this is these are just a guidelines or pointers This chapter is not to say that your church should look just like this Your church should have all of these you can take whichever you think might work for your church and adapt or you know Be flexible with it, right? And so some of the things that we want are important For a proper organization is have excellence and show proper functioning Right and to multiply and increase what is being done, right to have excellence and show proper functioning of what is being done and then The end goal is to multiply and increase right so the job Our job is not just to manage you know, what is happening to to make sure that it's happening week after week, but then Another responsibility is to make sure that your area of ministry grows As well, okay, right? So our motivation in ministry organization and developing the organization is that we can build local churches according to God's blueprint But that is the motivation, right? In ministry organization is that we do everything that they are doing according to God's blueprint Right, so we present some of the ideas from this chapter. So the ideas that's presented in this chapter is kind of in line Drawing a parallel from the human body and how the human body is organized and functions because now we say We are the body of Christ, isn't it and so in the past has taken some pointers are paralleled from how a human body functions And then how we can how the church is a body of Christ can function as well Right and so they're totally nine systems By by no stretch of imagination. I am a medical student Nothing can be far from further away from the truth But let's see what it has to say so page 144 Right, I'm so the first system out of the nine that we look at Drawing a parallel from a human body to church is a circulatory system Right and what that system does is it kind of cares for every part of our body, isn't it? Every organ it reaches and so what does it do? We develop more veins arteries capillaries etc etc and so some of the things what this system focuses on is that every individual in your congregation receives care and nurture And that's what this system does enough for our body is that every single organ You know every vein every joint receives is being cared for and nurtured for similarly Your church or your ministry should have an or others have a system where every single individual is scared for Right and that's where we some of the examples is you can have what we have at APC is one-on-one mentoring You know you're meeting with the team members have small groups in other words cell groups or life groups Member care team a member care team is a team where they would they would make for example If you have first-time visitors who visits our church, you know for the first time that's where they're called first-time visitors So we have a team. I mean we pass around a Card where they will write their name the phone number their email address and what the member care team does is During the week, they will follow up with the person who came to APC for the first time We call them up and say like hey, how are you doing? Did you enjoy the service? Do you have any feedback? Are you from the same city? Are you part of another church? Are you are you looking to make APC your home church? And whatnot and if they do say yes, I'm looking to make APC my home church The next step is we need to we want to plug them or get them plugged in to a life group a smaller group That's what we call it as our cell group, isn't it? So what are we doing here in this process is We're not just ignoring. Okay, this individual came for the first time and then just walk away without Encountering with an actual person who just came to a search service and felt like strangers and went back, right? Importance is making sure everybody feels important They are cared for nurtured for these are just first-time visitors and we also have another team called the one phone call team One phone call team is the only objective of this team is to make one phone call To every single member of the church once a month at least Okay Some day we will come up with a more creative name, but at the moment, it's just one phone So you know, we have a team above 10 or 15 people and They will each each each each team member will have a list of say 15 people that they will call They will at least make one phone call a month is just give them a quick call and say how was how are you doing? Is there anything I can pray for are you plugged into a life group? Is everything alright? So things like that, right? So what this system does is making sure that every single individual is valued is cared for is nurtured for right And other some of the pointers are ministries that you can have a specialized counselors to address personal needs regular seminars, you know weekends what we have weekend schools or we have workshops Constantly happening at ABC every month every weekend sometimes Workshop or seminars on marriage parenting finances workplace and all of that right so But that's a system where everybody is a place where people can feel cared for nurtured for come and be feel equipped Be equipped and be empowered to go and you know Do life so that's a circulatory system and the next system is the Skeletal system. Okay. What does it do? It provides a basic frame a shape and a structure That's what a skeleton system does isn't it? I mean Yeah, you can imagine a human body without a skeleton. Yeah, it's not It's not going to be very pretty right so what it does is there is a structure. There is some sort of It's kind of organized so there's a shape to it right there is There's a proper flow to it so to speak right so ensuring structure shape and support By having proper leadership proper organization and administration in place So how can we have this in line for our church for it to function? Well is You need to have a proper leadership in place a proper structure Knowing who's reporting to whom you know all the administration department And all of that great so leaders are pillars in the church In the in the previous chapters earlier chapters We've learned about how the importance of developing leaders how we can do that. We're not going to discuss that now but Leaders are pillars in the church, isn't it? So Holy Spirit can send people to be connected to your local church. You must welcome and receive them Okay, and most cases you need to raise up strong leaders within your local church Who will be a point of contact with with certain individuals? Okay, there is a shape. There is a structure Right, for example, if anybody wants to know how they can join the worship team You know, it's it should be easy for the people in the congregation to say okay You can meet so-and-so pastor who's the worship pastor? And he'll be he or she will be able to tell you now what to do next what are the next steps in order for you to Be part of the worshiping so to have a basic shape and structure is key to say the least, right? The next is the next system That we can incorporate in our church is drawing a parallel is a muscular system Right now. This is about muscular system I mean we we work out we exercise and just to make sure our muscles are in check and they are growing They are strong, right? So this is where strength and mobility comes into play right ensuring strength Movement and mobility in the body By ensuring that every believer becomes a minister So there is a constant training and equipping that is happening In this system, okay, the system is only focused on okay How can we take the congregation to the next level? How can we take your team to the next level or that if it's your life group, for example? You know, how can we take the members of my life group to the next level? Are we all growing in the same page? Are we all growing at the same pace? You know, I'll be growing strong in the word in the spirit, etc, etc, right? So the key is to keep this consistent Yes in any of this system guys one of the keys and I would say which which is the hardest key or challenging key is consistency Right and that is something I learned a very valuable lesson at least and I've always known the importance of consistency And I still do continue to learn Ignore sometimes but then during the pandemic, right? 2020 from March 2020 onwards until This year, I guess January I learned about the importance of just you know Keeping things on the move Regularly even if you don't feel like it and so for approximately two and a half years We did youth ministry online. We had youth meetings online Every Friday week after week after week after week after week Now did I feel like doing that every week? Absolutely not 100% no But the important What was important is that every youth knew that there was youth meeting happening every Friday And so they can get connected or they can invite their friends and whatnot Right. So being consistent in every area of life Yes, but in our context in ministry sets the tone sets the culture so people are up there Okay, so there's a system and now I know where I can go To you know to be equipped to grow stronger in my walk with the Lord right to grow spiritually so training Mentoring releasing a small of small group leaders Purposeful teaching and preaching from the pulpit right Choosing topics that are strong that will help people grow would be anything right? The topics that you can choose to preach or teach can be endless Right having a midweek a Bible study, you know the famous day is the Wednesday Bible study nights Are you choose topics to go deeper? opportunity for everyone to minister and Create a culture where everyone is encouraged to serve Okay, regular events that equip and mobilize people example weekend school of training As mentioned at APC every every month we have a weekend school That's an entire day of just training before it used to be two days but then We've reduced it to one full day the Saturday for morning to evening We cover different topics like healing and deliverance moving in the prophetic and in so much more Okay, so that's the muscular system where you can ministry or your church Needs to have that and the objective of the system is to you know make your Church folks are more stronger by equipping them right and Then you have the digestive system Which which ensures that a strong Anointed and timely ministry of the word so that people receive That just an absorbed solid spiritual nourishment Right. This is again in sync with the muscular system right consistent strong ministry of the word from the pulpit Make additional resources available for people to learn Encourage people to learn and receive from other ministers Create create a learning culture Right, so is this another system that is key for strong nourishment and And then the other system is the respiratory system isn't it we all need to breathe To stay alive That's one of the signs that shows us that we are alive Enduring a continuous fresh breath inspiration and work of this period Right one of the Hebrew words for spirit is Rua, which means wind or breath Right so and so ensuring that again, there is this continuous work of the spirit in us and in the congregation and this is Getting a little bit more personal right emphasize personal and corporate prayer and worship ensuring that they have a strong Personal walk with the Lord sit times for extended prayer and worship fasting prayer and whatnot stay yielded to the leading and the work of the spirit Encourage the use of spiritual gifts a prophecy tongues and all others. So This is a very important system, isn't it and And again, it all comes down and all of the system. I think it all comes down to us as leaders to create this culture challenging one and to constantly and continuously emphasizing re-emphasizing the importance of all of this and Just so that our congregation are growing strong in God Right And the next system is the nervous system which talks about I mean it all talks about the sensitivity and the responses Isn't it like it helps us respond to a certain thing? It's very important for you to for the church to have a point where people can respond to but react right For example is is there is there a point where is there a place where the congregation members can send their feedback Right, some churches can have a suggestion boxes Right, if if your church can have an email ID Where they can send their feedbacks to that's great where you know that though that email goes to the entire leadership Team of the church Right. So ensuring keen sensitivity and perception of what is happening in the local body and providing a timely response It's also this system talks about different teams Keeping say the senior pastor updated for example, if I'm the worship pastor, it is my responsibility To keep my senior pastor updated on what is happening Right a weekly report or a monthly report or quarterly report everything, right? So that's what this system is talking about have a system in place where people can give feedback or Where you can also share your feedback And a culture where your leaders will keep you in the loop of what is happening With the weekly updates and quarterly updates, etc Right. So create process by which people can provide feedback. That's one a regular reports by leaders Be sensitive to what you see and hear in the local church body so that you can respond quickly act quickly Correctively be sensitive to the Holy Spirit who can alert you ahead of time when needed right, so that's Another key system there and The next system is endocrine endocrine system No, it's It's tangible, but it doesn't have this obvious organ so to speak, right? So what is an endocrine system? It's it's something that releases these hormones, right? That keeps is your thyroid levels in check and and all of that now you will not be aware of it Like you can't it's not like your nose and say okay where show me where your nose and this is the nose You can't say okay where's an endocrine system? You can't point a finger and say that's what it is kind of a thing But you will their absence will be felt Right if they stop producing those hormones, which is very necessary, right? I mean there that's the system which uses hormones to To control coordinate your mood your your energy levels your Metabolism your stress levels and all of that it's it's kind of Is communicating isn't it? So that's what it that's what that system does and so again a simple system to have constant consistent communication is What the system is talking about, right? Without over emphasizing these bring in reminders from time to time from the pulpit and Through other means about hey, what what is happening this week? What is happening in church this month? What is your vision? reminding the congregation etc Letting them know that there's a weekend school coming up register youth camp youth retreat whatever it is So this is a system that you need to have to have constant It's like a bridge to have communications different modes of communications and you can have different touch points social medias, you know Making use of all those platforms to communicate to making sure that there's you know that this constant communication that is happening right and And while doing all of this, you know, you are creating a culture a kingdom culture that goes against Every everything else the cultures of the world that is not necessary that is not needed, right? Like there could be a culture of gossip When you are establishing a kingdom culture, you're getting rid of the gossip culture backbiting division strife competition selfish interests self-promotion And all of this So is there a system in place in your church? in your ministry How you can identify any of this or is all your teaching in all your workshops? Are you establishing and teaching about kingdom culture? So all so the cultures of the world are not people are not influenced by the cultures of the world right so regularly filter these things out from the local church body through times of prayer repentance and fellowship and You know one of the things that we do at least most of the year with biblical students during the beginning is we talk about the publication laying the axe to the root right which talks about The seriousness of self and lust and and jealousy and whatnot Okay, and so the whole point of all of this is what we've as we've mentioned before Is not just your your role as minister or or a pastor or a leader is not Is not just a role of a manager Okay, you're not just called we are not just called to manage things Okay, this is happening this month So my job is to manage making sure that the same thing is happening this month also this week Yes, that is part of your responsibility, but that is not your only responsibility But you are always looking to scale and grow Right multiply be fruitful Right, so that is the last system is a system of growth right is your ministry growing I motivate and engage people to you know to evangelize to win souls Lead and encourage all kinds of outreaches locally and to regions beyond Equip and release people into church planting and missions. So all of these things are Areas where you're looking a very intentional in your ministry to grow Okay. Yeah, you guys I have any questions or thoughts so far what we've discussed Okay, right. So the next section talks about local church ministry and ministry teams Okay, the local church ministries that different ministries With the church and then with the different ministries come different ministry teams right and so Again at APC we have teams that serve in specific church ministries Right the way it's functioned or the way it's set up. You look at in page 147 bottom of 147 There are different kinds of local church ministries and teams that serve in that area Okay, one is ministries and teams that are centered around ministry functions and ministry and teams that are centered around felt needs and The other ministries and teams that are centered around specific events Okay ministry and teams centered around ministry functions centered around felt needs and specific events and so this is how It's set up and organized at APC Okay, coming down to the next page. You see some of the church ministries centered around ministry functions The worship teams right so worship teams Responsibility is to minister right worship team members are ministering to people, you know every Sunday when as they lead in worship So and with that team comes team members and there has to be team leaders, right? So that's the way it's set up. So and just look at that list of teams That function in that way is the worship teams the prayer and intercession teams life group mission teams performing arts teams Schools outreach teams which is known as the catalyst at APC which goes to different schools and colleges to minister Counseling team member care media internet publications evangelism teams and so on and so forth, right? So in all of these teams all peoples of all ages work together in teams What is important to note? There is all people of all ages Work together in teams. I just a very quick example. The first team in ministry function is a worship team, isn't it? Wait So one of the difference between the worship team and a band Be it a Christian band, right? So a band is just very inclusive. It's like it says as for and no more That's what the band that's the that's what it's all about. It's as for and no more It's a full boy band or full. It's just a girl band Etc etc while the local church worship team is an explosive It's open for all ages right from the young into the old Right. That's one of the lessons that we can learn from david's worship team in first chronicles 25 is that The young and the old ministered in the house of the lord as one Right. So that's just an example just to say that all people of all ages work together in teams Right. We can have many teams That appropriate we provide formal and informal training On the job. So there are certain teams that needs Training for you to be part of for you to serve for example a setup team if you You know, you need to know how to roll. You'll be trained on how to Roll the cables. Uh, you know, it's not as simple as just putting together as it seems Knowing which connection goes where the different all the technical names the words for different kind of pins mic stands and all of that right and There are teams that don't really need a lot of training for example You know at the welcome lounge, you don't really need a training to say hi welcome to apc, isn't it? All right, maybe some people do is like yeah, you need to smile and then say welcome to apc You know, but that's about all the training you'll get Uh, so that's church ministries, which is which are centered around ministry functions Right, and then there are church ministries which are centered around age and felt needs What are they? Do you have the children's church? You have the youth ministry young adults men's ministry women's ministry the mothers single parents And the list goes on right and the teams leading these ministries will look a little different, isn't it? Right, so these are ministries centered around age and felt needs And then finally church ministries centered around specific events Right, so uh Sunday services is an event in itself Uh, right every sunday, uh, and just look at the teams that goes into it. Uh, this is just in our church here guys Okay, several smaller teams are formed to handle this sunday service. What are those teams transport team? What is their job making sure that you know the cars are parked? Uh, you know, uh without any chaos or confusion Making sure that there are signboards on the road that says parking for apc church and hospitality and greeters team Are just greeting people as they are coming into church the parking team sound and stage setup venue maintenance resource table information table A resource table is where we keep all the apc publication books Uh information table is where first time visitor wants to get some more information regarding any ministry That's the table that they would go to uh ushers You know as they as people are coming in To the church building You're guiding them to sit here sit there. You are serving The communion elements, etc That's a team in itself right then there's an ushering a team leader Making sure that every everything is organized Uh, and so guys, there are just all of these teams and all these teams uh have team members and team leaders who have to organize certain things and And you can see everything that goes into making one service happen Right and if not all most of this are applicable for say other events like youth camp church camp And all that etc, etc Okay And so I think in just conclusion of this whole chapter, uh, you know, we we started off learning about the importance of order and uh And at the same time the importance of letting God of the house Right just be the god of the house and sometimes we try to In in in our attempt to be very organized We forget who is the god of the house We uh suddenly the agenda becomes the god our our schedule becomes You know everything else our process everything else become takes god's place Uh, but it all you know, it just comes down to Uh The this perfect balance of us being sensitive in everything that we are doing in every ministry that we are leading In every ministry that is part of the local church Um, the kingdom of god is being established and that's the point of this whole thing Right in us being organized, uh in us having an understanding of all these different systems that needs to have a place It's not like one day you wake up and say, okay, I feel like I need to start a church and yeah, I'm going to start a church uh and not You know, some of us can have that mentality uh, but Uh church is god's idea. It's his blueprint right, it's You need to lean on to his heart And say, okay, you know, what are all the things you need to do the homework you need to do your research You need to plan you need to be organized and say, okay If i'm going to start a church, okay, what are all the teams that are necessary or the importance? What are the what are the legal steps that I need to take make sure that uh, that needs to be in place? the team of what you know, what are the uh What are the procedures to make sure that the finances are clean? you know Inquiring with the ca and having a system for that in place having a system for all these different things Is it's a big deal. It's important, right? It's it's not as simple as just waking up and saying I want to start a church Uh, but it's important. But then all of the system kind of puts Uh, it gives some kind of an order To what you want to do, isn't it? There's like a signboard. Okay. Hey, this is where you need to go Like when you're going on a journey, it says okay, your favorite restaurant is five kilometers away You're not just going to stare at that signboard and say wow, I have arrived Nobody stops at a signboard and say I have arrived at you know You're still pursuing towards the the the destination, isn't it? And so all these systems are like signboards That's leading us on to get to a you know to a place where everything is in order Everything is as a proper structure Etc etc, right? So um, I think that's the conclusion point of this whole chapter is that Remember the systems and see what will work best for you for your church As you're leading a ministry, uh, and then at the same time Be extremely sensitive to the leading of the the holy spirit That's what's going to make the difference Okay Right guys. So any questions or any thoughts? All right, then. Uh, well, uh, I want to stop Right now. I don't want to just Kind of throw more content Uh, y'all so we'll stop here. We'll resume next week with the rest of the Curriculum, okay. Thanks for joining in guys. Take care. Have a lovely and a blessed weekend. God bless you all Thanks, Vasto
