Hey, everybody. Dr. O here. So, kind of a different topic here. We've been talking about calorie cycling and how powerful of a tool it is, but one of the reasons that I do think that it's especially valuable is that calorie cycling can slow what's known as metabolic adaptation, or maybe you've heard this called survival mode. When you go into too strict of a diet, your metabolism tanks, you know, your libido drops, you get really tired, all these things happen in response because your body is trying to survive, right? That's what's known as metabolic adaptation. When you lose weight, your metabolism will adapt to try to keep you from losing more weight, right? This is a very common thing, right? So you are here. You're sitting here because your ancestors had thrifty metabolisms, which meant that they could survive in a world where there was famines and there was food shortage, but you're sitting here now wondering why you have such a thrifty metabolism, which is making it really hard to survive in a world of excess. So having a thrifty metabolism or metabolic adaptation responding to times when there's not food by adjusting the metabolic rate and adjusting things like physical activity makes perfect sense, but we just have to, we have to figure out ways to minimize this. We cannot eliminate it, and I think that calorie cycling is a great way to minimize it. I like to say I was really good at starting diets. I've lost, I've lost 40 or 50 pounds several times, right? The beginning of diets was always easy, but then when the going gets tough, when things like metabolic adaptation start to occur, then I gave up and I fell off the wagon and I had to start over again and again and again. This is the first time that I've used fasting and calorie cycling, and it's also the first time that I've been able to have long-term success. The enemy of every diet or is this, is this metabolic adaptation. So think about it.  And for a while you lose a pound a week, but then all of a sudden you're still only eating 2,000 calories, but now you're losing half a pound a week and then a quarter of a pound a week, and then you're not losing weight. That's what I mean when I talk about metabolic adaptation. Now some of it is completely makes sense, right?  You've lost weight, so your metabolic rate is generally going to drop. The only way to keep that from happening during a weight loss effort is to also build your metabolism by building muscle, if we're talking about basal metabolic rate. And I've talked about that in other places here, where my metabolic rate has actually gone up 181 calories a day while I lost 165 pounds. And that's because I added 15 pounds of lean mass during the process. But if you don't do that, your metabolic rate is going to drop. There's less of you to keep around. And we'll talk about other ways to boost your metabolism in different places. We're just talking about this kind of survival mode mechanism here.  If you scare your metabolism, if you scare your body, then it's going to adapt. So we need to find ways to let our body know that the weight loss we're going through is safe and is acceptable. Because if we scare our metabolism, then it will fight back. It will, yes, your metabolic rate will go down, but you'll also have, there'll be subconscious triggers to eat more food, subconscious triggers to move less. These are all part of the metabolic adaptation process. So your subconscious mind doesn't understand that you're on a diet. It just knows that you're not getting enough food.   You can't explain that to your lizard brain, so to speak. So what does this have to do with calorie cycling? We have to figure out how can we be as aggressive as possible with our weight loss without scaring your metabolism. And this is why I like alternate day fasting. I change the equation drastically one day, right? I eat nothing. And my body's like, oh man, this is not good. There's no food around. But then you change it back real quickly.  And being a huge calorie deficit, my body starts to get concerned, but the next day, not only am I eating at maintenance, I'm overshooting. I recommend consuming 25% to 30% more than your maintenance calories on your eating days if you're doing alternate day fasting. So your body's like, whew, it's OK. There's no time for these survival mechanisms to kick in. There's no time for your metabolism to adapt. And then all of a sudden, boom, I'm fasting again. Then I'm eating again, fasting again. There's no other way for me to explain how I've had such amazing success, 165 pounds of weight loss in a year compared to all the other weight loss attempts that I've had in my life. There was a time when I was younger that I was eating 1,000 calories a day, and I was doing three hours of cardio a day. And I could not lose weight and keep it off as well as I can now. There's no other way for me to explain how basically a 1,700 to 2,000 calorie average has led to such amazing weight loss and sustainability compared to times that I've been more aggressive. The difference is I'm really aggressive on my diet one day, and the next day I'm actually overfeeding a bit. So let's go ahead and look at the science behind this. Alternate day fasting for weight loss in normal weight and overweight subjects, a randomized controlled trial. This was a 12-week study where the people that were doing alternate day fasting actually lost eight pounds in 12 weeks, and their fat-free mass did not change compared to the controls. So they were able to hold onto their fat-free mass and only lose fat, which is our goal. You don't want your body or your metabolism adapting. Next, intermittent energy restriction attenuates the loss of fat-free mass in resistance-trained individuals, a randomized controlled trial. So in this study, a two-day refeeds, basically two-day refeeds with lots of carbohydrates preserved fat-free mass and metabolic rate compared to people that were on a continuous calorie restriction diet, and they were also resistance-trained. So the nice thing about this is basically you can lose fat without your metabolism dropping if you have periods where you have low calories and periods where you have high calories. Now, this is not exactly what I'm recommending because I don't recommend two-day carb refeeds, but the point is the same.  So why? Why does this actually work? Well, let's look at this study. The response of leptin to short-term and prolonged overfeeding in humans.  Leptin is basically a fuel gauge.   Every dieter in the world has had their leptin levels drop while dieting because their body fat's going away. And your body uses that as a signal that we're in the middle of a famine, you're losing fat, we should stop moving and we should start eating. But short-term overfeeding is associated with a moderate elevation of circulating leptin levels. So instead of leptin just slowly, steadily plummeting while you're on a diet, it goes down, up, down, up because of these, the overfeeding. So your metabolism gets really scared one day and then boom, the next day. Oh, I feel much better. I ate more than enough because of overfeeding. In this study, the overfeeding was a 40% in calories above maintenance. I recommend 25 or 30, but same principle applies. So your metabolism gets scared for one day, next day feels great. It didn't need to do all the metabolic adaptation like dropping thyroid hormone, et cetera. So studies have repeatedly shown that refeeds in diet breaks can help minimize metabolic adaptation. I'm not saying they're necessary, but basically what we're doing here is we are fasting one day to lose fat. The next day, we're overfeeding to boost leptin levels and we do it over and over again. We can't eliminate the problem. Your leptin levels are still gonna go down, but we're mitigating some of the metabolic adaptation damage. So it isn't magic, I want you to understand that. Another study, leptin responses to overfeeding, relationships with body fat and non-exercise activity thermogenesis. This study showed the same thing that with overfeeding, about 30 to 40% increase in calories above maintenance, leptin levels went up. So your leptin levels are gonna be spiking every other day if you're using alternate day fasting. And then this study also showed though that while you're eating more, you should be increasing your physical activity, your non-exercise activity thermogenesis. So this is why I recommend that your eating days should be the days that you're exercising and the days that you're most physically active if you wanna minimize the fat gain that would come with this overfeeding. We don't just overfeed to overfeed, we overfeed to fuel our physically active bodies. All right, this one here, the effects of short-term carbohydrate or fat overfeeding on energy expenditure and plasma leptin concentrations in healthy female subjects. This one found that carbohydrate overfeeding increased leptin concentrations by 28% and increased 24-hour energy expenditure by 7%. So those are all great. But so yes, if you do wanna boost your leptin levels as much as possible, you would want to have extra carbohydrates on your overfeeding days. But if you're doing a low carb diet, if you've got a ton of body fat to lose, that may not be your priority yet. So don't worry about that. But I just wanted to show you that this isn't magic, right? My leptin levels have dropped because I've lost 165 pounds. But I feel like this calorie cycling strategy has kinda softened the blow and minimized the damage. My metabolic rate has gone up while losing 165 pounds. I can't explain it in any other way, but the power of fasting. All right, I hope that this has helped you. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


You've been single for a while, you got married, you separated. Do you feel like you're going to get lack someone else and now set you down again? Wow, so the thing is moving on, I moved on and of course we broke up three years ago and divorce was filed, I filed it and yeah we were done, it's a wrap for him but about moving on. Me, mi sitaka ni imagine ya kwa ishiya tu ni tamuvo, niki zeheka. Nii ye, divorce hi ki nai ishya ibo kama umerudi market. Nauga. Unauga ñ unava unaenda, koni ye una fkirimali ako amestoppu maisha kiki to kakumendeli ya, haa we unali anini. Pakam make up doonga kwa 6 inchia kofizuri sana tokelizia my friend. Welna ye guna ñ mi I moved on nfakta siku ka sana. Right. Watsup guys welcome, welcome to SPM bars my good name is Ms. Kitingi and today I am hanging out with a But before I introduce my staff today, make sure you subscribe. Bapana, yani yu guys? Siyo vizuru kukonsyum content alafu na kosako subscriber especially because I feel like our conversation today with my guest is really going to be interesting. And without much further ado, I'm going to introduce my guest. She is an actress, she's a musician, she's an events planner, and above all she has a show on YouTube that I'm sure you are going to be interested to watch after you, watch her today. Welcome Vicky. Thank you so much. Guys, this is Vicky Muthiora. Yes. How are you feeling? How are you doing? Oh my God, I'm great, I'm feeling awesome. Nikofiti. Nikofiti kabisa. This is the vibe guys that is normally at Vicky's fire chat. Yes. What was the inspiration behind that name? And also your setup. Any that setup is a fire for sure. There's even a fireplace and then it takes place at night. What was the inspiration behind all that? So about the setup, setup by then I mean in fact everything you know now, what are your logo, the theme of the show, everything I mean I come now from scratch. But nivileoneza kwa na dream from way back and you never get a chance to have it, you never get a chance. Everything is financial to have all the cameras and everything, the lights, the setup, all that is money. And so before you get your dough na dream and so when maybe you get some chumskiasi, now you have already a idea of what you would really want. So you just actualize it. So I came up with a setup. In fact it's of it na kumkanga nilishinda pekianguni ki zi manage zi jengue. Yes nilishinda apu gikomba na tengenezwa I go, no fundi, tengeneza ito, aii wekaivi na takaivi. The setup, your fire is, I'd say it's connected to the conversation. Just having the fire on my set is connected with the conversations because normally it means, it's symbolic, it has a meaning. It's about having fiery conversations. Normally when you're having these conversations we get to the deep of these conversations. Tuna rarwai yo conversation kabisa, we analyze it. And so to have such a fiery talk, that's where I got the fiery theme.  I like it. That's why also the name is fire chat. It's not just about the fire, it's also about the conversation is fire. You know? Because we really get to analyze conversations to na ingia at length, kuju wa mtu. But it also if you want to, it's not like we first are guests to tell us stuff. Ni guests munya ko comfortable, kuhu reveal about themselves, challenges na nyame pitiya because it's about inspiring someone else. It's about changing a life out there. So your story can change someone out there. What did you go through to be who you are today? Alright, sounds good. Now guys you need to go and check out that show so that you can see all this that she's trying to explain. In case you haven't seen Vicky before, she has been an actress in one of your favorite TV shows in your best probably commercials that you've seen around from Zafari Coms, KPLC, all these things. And she actually started on Beba Beba.  Yes, that's her. Now, that's where you started. How has been just acting over the years? Is it something you feel like you could actually just recommend your kids to go on and do it especially financially here in Kenya back then and right now? I would say acting was a passion. It still is a passion for me and I wouldn't advise anybody to do acting if you're not passionate about it. So what I'll do I'll advise someone whatever it is that you're passionate go for it. It doesn't have to be acting because you have to put your heart in everything that you do. So my heart was in acting. To be honest, acting haideiku anayu do mo unless there are those shows yes that maybe uta angukiya and they are really good shows and you get some really good chums and also maybe say Advertisements zikona do, billboards zikona do but acting-acting is a kipindi not all of them zikona do but when you're passionate about something you don't get to give up you don't walk away you keep on pushing and pushing and even if you kona doki doko you'll still not give up because your heart is right there and so as you keep on growing and you keep on exposing yourself you keep on networking with other people that's how you get to also get good projects that's why you get to have ideas on what you can come up with yourself because it's not just about always ya but you have to start somewhere you have kutelazmoan zena kwandikwani nini nini mshareyan zikwa kidogo kidogo kidogo ziunetoak you get good producers get good projects unendo kipata do then in due time when you look at yourself you have your own show yes what mantra do you stand for especially now in life and where you are at niman tragan nile yukfanya you could drive all through never give up like it's make it or make it and also set standards you have to set standards me I believe okiji set ya low standards manze uta kwa mi atu apolo but when you set yourself some good standards even you say may be ya na hukukula ata labda unafeya ako lakini kuna mahali unaju I want to get there regardless ume ji set ya this is where I want to be in 5 years this is where I want to be in 10 years set standards set goals and also don't give up manze it's bumpy out here you can just wake up today and expect things to work out there has to be a journey and this journey has to be bumpy it has to be painful you will be disappointed baka your friends will disappoint you people you know very well that kuna siku ata kuja kwangushe maybe when you need something when it comes to maybe majobo just something to people will disappoint you people will let you down but never ever give up fight until you make it make it or make it whether their friends are there or they are not figure it out yes I totally agree with you and there is no one to blame other than yourself other than yourself for sure he and talking about disappointment you know I know you've been a single mom for quite some time raising two beautiful ladies but then now something happened you got into a relationship you fell in love how was that but then now it didn't really end as expected ebu take us through what really happened lemme tell you what if I can take you a little bit backwards kidogo when it comes to fire chart fire chart comes from a place place of my heart it comes from a place where I was broken by someone it comes from a place of pain but you decide to like have a blessing in disguise use the pain to change someone else's life use the pain to at least help someone who may be going through the same situation you are so yes I have been a single mom for a long time but then somewhere along the line nika kutana kimutu iyo kim se kai ali nipiga character development kai mi akia wa so broken this guy broke my heart alwande actually give the whole story on fire chart but this guy broke my heart he broke my self esteem he broke who I am I lost myself my individuality I was dark I was falling into depression this guy was the worst has ever happened to my life and we got married like legally oh you did yes to lianda sharia house and we did all the idoos oh wow but you see algomen fichia white before when we were dating for how long had you guys dated before you decided now let's settle down and let's actually get married legally we had dated for a year and to be honest they were every red flags you could think of but maziata unambiwa na wa say unona ni kama mkuna wibumbuna na feel jealous ni ni ni ni ni muwambe mungwa wa pati ya hazi kumaminiwa I tell you they were all the red flags that I could see but I could not see at the time when we were dating of course he was trying to hide but at times at a snap wone wone eh? what just happened so after I do kunza I remember that very day of I do nili pegwam tuangu what? what? na ringi na meta-meta even ya 9 am tulifunga nishua 9 am sharia house and in the night nili lala hosi oza te first time ali kwa na kuchapa you had slapped me while we were dating but those are the ones that you were like tapda al kwa main jam maybe it's even my fault una look away wwe wwe wwe wacha ni semi I do my friends ali semi wwe wwe wwe wwe wwe na you're not going anywhere you belong to me and everything that is yours is mine nika lala hosi ya ni like I'm telling you when we say I do is when all hell broke loose yes he treated me the worst way I can I can never imagine like I can never even want my enemy to be put through what I was put through what were some of the red flags that you feel like you know I really ignored these ones and they were so conspicuous because there could be someone who is in the same relationship right now and they are not really sure maybe they could just compare and contrast me I'm telling you what before I even answer you manze red flags are real usi ignore na jyoko smitten kama blue bandaki you are high as hell that man is taking you to heaven and back but if you're seeing the red flags imagine pay attention and don't even rush that relationship once you see a red flag in fact you need to slow down you need to take another angle and see things from a distance because they mean something and when you say I do they are actually magnified those red flags that you had seen they are actually magnified as soon as you are married and I had seen things like kuna na if even you know nga tu infideliti toujinga 2 sms tu na ingia mtu ana shinda aki gigol kuakasimu ana chikachikasidwin na nani utaiko kuskuzio na una nabdani pesti ake mtu ana lalainje today una moleza I was with my friends but there are two things sometimes mtu ana lalainje kwaenda out aki ni umuanya me lalainje na mezmasimu you know don't ignore these things mtu aki kukuslap aki kukuslap once be assured next time ita kwa slap ita kwangumi yes and once someone shows you they can put their hands on you by beating you because they are putting your hands on someone by loving them but here hands on yavita you need to run like you've never run before because I remember the last time I called it quits my daughter and she tried saving me she is screaming nobody is coming to help this guy is so strong and trust me when someone slaps you once they will slap you twice and once you are slapped once and you don't leave believe me the next one ita kwa not even slap ita kwa vita yaw kweili they will injure you so don't ignore red flags but now how was it for you especially now because you are a mam you have these two daughters that you have introduced to this stranger was now become like their father figure how was it now just sitting them down and telling them you know what it's not going to work the man I chose is no longer the man that I want you to guys to choose how was that process and how did you go about it actually it was very easy for me because they were wondering when I will ever live it's them who are asking me mam why are you with this man we are not even happy you are ever crying because even they could find me maybe all my eyes are red sometimes you will avoid to like exposes your tears to them but kuna time watakuja on itu your eyes are so swollen they are all red and they will be like what happened is it him again so they were wondering when will I ever live so when I actually left those kids were over the roof they were the happiest kids and they were like oh fuchs finally finally mam so for them it was easy but I would advise people to be very careful when you are bringing someone to your children's life that's why I started fire chat I have a lot of experience when it comes to these things and I might not know everything but I know a few things that you need to be very careful we have a lot of single mums right now to be honest the ratio single mums in me endaju and also piyuki yung yamaakili wuku inje the default rate is very high but when you decide to move on be careful and do not get into a relationship if someone has not accepted you for who you are with your baggage if kama haeziku bali bagijako I watch and I know where we kama mu de tina wuku when you don't drag the kids in that trauma having a teenage daughter because one is older than the other for sure how is it just bringing her up in this now the environment we have the kind of generation Z that we have currently is there any pressure especially just comparing with how our african parents raised us back then and right now there is a lot of pressure because they are very well exposed and sometimes it's actually not us who are exposing them the exposure is already there from their school from the devices I mean everything has changed so either way umto yata lan vit whether you put them in a reserved place or not either way these kids are not the same way as guys grew up and so for me I believe in communication there is nothing as powerful as communication and information is power you have to know that information is power and once you have information you can easily go about anything once you are informed about that section or that area of life and so I believe in talking to our children me I talk to my girls a lot and of course I have a teenager and I have a small one so the conversation is a bit different of course the way I will address the small one is not the way I will address the 18 one but this elder one I don't know what to say I don't know what to say I don't know I don't know how can you avoid this how can you handle this and then of course I have also put a platform it's a thin line though because you still have to be a parent don't forget being a mother so there's a time you have to switch from being a mother and being a friend and there's a time you have to switch from being a friend and just be a mother and be tough she has to know that you have lines she has to know that there's boundaries on how far you can go with things but at the same time she can talk to you put at least a communication channel where you can talk about literally everything that if she meets some situation out there she's comfortable to come and ask you these and this Right now in Rudechi, I'm enchanted to know some way to confide in you Right now we're in Rudechi we don't have any contact so any time when a child cette come and protect you politely go as low up as her level and have this conversation Yes What is that one lesson that you know Desne kanidoa mawa na na kamaizana iiha na kuatia kiltia, Asi na mawa na kuatia kiltia kiltia, Kwa neza na na kamaizana iiha mapinga desu? Kwa na kamaizana iiha mainga neza, Asi namaizana jabi na kufu zaipa na na kuatia nakaizana Asi na kamaia zaipa na na kuatia, Azi na kamaizana kichei nakaizana kufu zaibya nakaizana ng vectoru Tama zaia na na kuatia늘u ya kamaizana kufu zaibya I think the one thing that helps me a lot to be honest, regardless of whether I'm good or bad, I believe in praying for our children.  There is so much power in prayer over your child.  God comes first than you. So anything you tell God about that kid, trust me, it will happen. So you might not know everything. You might not have all the answers to how you raise that child, but learn how to pray for that kid. Seek God's wisdom. Seek God's protection. I mean, let's just pray for these kids. There's so many things going out there out there that and yeah, it will come to you. So let's move on to the cover. And the only cover you can give that child is the cover of God, where to protect it. Yes. Aside from that, communicate to your child. Talk to your kids. Talk. Now, what's the feature of it? Do you know how to do it? And if you don't tell that kid, still at a scare from someone, but at a scare the wrong way. When it comes from you as the ma'am, first of all, it's exactly and it's guided. There is a way to guide on how to handle these situations. So at least learn to communicate to your child, follow up on your child, ask if they don't want to confide in you, at least learn how to also reach out, get to know what's happening, take them lunch once in a while, go have a conversation, be a girl once in a while, hang out with your child, you know, yes. Exactly. And I think we lost it when we lost the kin. We lost it. We lost it. And we used to be very straight. We used to be afraid of our mums. Right now, we are in a community. And so so many of us came out proper. So many of us came out with a lot of respect and we have morals and we were shaped up well. And unfortunately, we had to lose the kin. Sounds good. Now, I remember you were part of Dengamuaya. Guys, do you actually remember the short film that Terence Creative produced sometime back? She was part of it. How was the experience of just working with Kina Terence and the rest of the crew? And how did you feel the reception of this clip because it was quite huge? I wouldn't say it was any different because I had worked with him even way before. So it's not like someone I knew that time. So it was a shoot just like any other. But then it had an impact. It really went viral. Yes. Now let's talk about Bodhi Shemin because you know, as someone with a plus size woman, we have people who are quite slender and they're still Bodhi Shamed. Like I feel like human beings are just not okay with any body, any type of body. They will always have something to say.  How did that actually make you feel when you saw that clip of Andrew Kibbe? For one, I don't think anyone has an opinion about my body. It does. Because there's a way I know about myself. And once I love me, anybody else has no opinion. But at the same time, na kashif sana mtu mwanyu wa na Bodhi Shame, someone else.  What makes you think you are perfect? Why are you so concentrated on me when you have an agenda? Am I an important person to you that you feel you have an opinion? Am I you feel you have to share something about how I look? Unless you have another interest that I don't know of. But I don't think you can pay attention to someone's body for nothing. Because first of all, let's talk of a good health comes from God. Let's begin there. And so when you're talking about other people's bodies, be it mkonda, be it mnono, be it whatever, you need to not do that.  Kila mta kuna issue zapa? Like, eo topiki li leta intensity sana, because I was actually talking on my show the other day and there's this lady who came in box and she wrote to me and told me that everything. In fact, atende li akwa mkubwa. Because hi zilu zizi medication, she'll have to take them for the rest of her entire life. So Hi zikachini akujia mbo akunze kuku explain yama noma zaki akwa mbe, you know I'm big because, why am I even explaining to you? Then why do you feel like you have an opinion?  You do not know what someone is going through. Again, why do you feel you have an opinion? If you don't like me, please pass. Yeah, please pass. Sokoni kubwa. People are out there, all races, all types of people, big, small, tall, short, light, dark. Choose your preference and go for your preference. But don't come open to a kubwa. Sisi apa, sit kwa sawa atutaki. Sili asma utupende. But there is someone there nasalivata akunze, you have a conversation wali mwagamate, wuku kwa inboxia. Nguata nimi isini, mimi blocku ingini. Yeah. For sure. What? At least people need to be sensitive. You do not have to like me, but don't talk badly about my body. It's mine. It has nothing to do with you. And when you're talking like that, you need to understand you're not just talking about me. You are talking a group of people, a number of people, even in your own family.  Be sensitive. Mind your own business. I don't have to be your type, but there is someone else who I impress. Yes, but I don't have to talk rudely about that. I will pass and look at what's my type. Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. But again on that note, for those who are being body shamed, love you, feel good about you. Don't let anyone put you down. You are the best version of yourself and the energy you have within you will just come out from within. It will be reflected even to your surrounding and your circle. So if you're afraid, if you're broken inside, your self-esteem is low, you don't love yourself. That's the same energy you're going to pick out there.  Kwanza, you love your calves. You can understand my friend who is Kuzivalisha. Acta kama nita ya funga na wendezako. And you know there is nothing as good as just being positive about yourself. It sounds so cliche, but the moment you're positive about yourself, so many other things actually work out for you good. Absolutely. Yes. All right. Now let's talk about this trending issue that has been a few weeks ago whereby Adi Jay was just watching the wife take poison and you had sentiments towards that and you said sometimes you don't kill someone by stabbing them with a knife, but you could just kill them by watching them. Tell us more about that thought. The thing is, I think the first mistake that people do is allowing someone else to to give you a lot of negative energy. I think we need to love ourselves more. Before you even try to love someone else, you have to love you. I don't think you can be able to love someone else if you don't have you don't love yourself because if you really do love yourselves, you will not allow someone else to bring you down. You will not.  Killing you is not having value for you. Someone has killed your self-esteem.   You cannot allow someone to put you through that in the name of being a wife or a husband because it goes two ways. So it's a two-way traffic. If it's not working out, please leave. And for this, your kids will never call someone else ma'am. You need to understand that and it hurts me so much about this chick. The decision she took right in front of her children, I think that's the worst that you can ever do to your own kids. Forget the man. Why am I saying forget the man?  But these kids will never call someone else ma'am.  You have broken this kids trust. You have broken... These kids will always live with that image. These kids will have judgment when it comes to relationship. These kids will live better terming non as a ribika too. Mental issues because of that when someone is making some decisions you need to know that it's not just about you. It's about your surrounding too. You will affect the people that are around you. There are people who rely on you. What do you think they're going to feel? Don't put yourselves under someone's pressure like that. I don't want to go down the street where there is no pressure. Walk. Me am for walking. It is okay. God hates divorce. That is okay and we don't really do agree. But at the same time He has given you knowledge and wisdom to discern the good and the bad. Why? He's even given you apu kwa Bible ame se matu vizuri sana akami alau divorce. If kama mtu aku na infidelity kama there is infidelity in the relationship. If there is adultery you are allowed to walk. He is allowed divorce. Mbonu je ke kwa situation kama iyo.   Kill your future. Life is too short. You need to... Let me tell you what. This I can talk until tomorrow. Please tell me to keep quiet. Because I'm very passionate about this. You might not choose your financial status because you might not be financially stable. You might not choose your family. You might not choose your neighbors. But let me tell you what. You can choose your happiness. It's in your hands. It's in your hands. The people you allow in your circle the people you allow to bring energy around you if someone is not adding value into your life. My dear please walk. Walk. You're not going to be the first one and you would definitely wouldn't be the last one. But don't be in a marriage just because you want to be called Mrs. Flani. Amma you just want to be called after you are attached to Flani. After you are attached to her and you want to marry her. After you are married after you are married and they are doing well and sometimes being alone it makes you find you. And you will find someone eventually. By the way, Uta Patamuntu. Yeah.  That was a very very heart breaking story. I really don't want to talk about the whole scene because I don't know the details about it. It's also good to hear this guy's side because it's easier to do here and it's not okay to look at someone drink poison. At least you should have done something. But at the same time I don't want to be judgmental. There's always two sides of the coin. There's always the other story. So nipuapia to skye these are the guy kamaata wa itwamia. But it's also important to not me I don't want to give a comment about that lady. I don't want to give a comment. Me I'm for that lady. I'm why would you? These are your kids. Forget the man. Sometimes that one has a hauna ucha. Nipu mtumzima akuna miyakatatitu I mean not miyakatatitu miyakatatitu. Ata move on. And now she will be like wachua. Just move on. This Talking about moving on now. Of course you've been single for a while. You got someone. You got married. You separated. Do you actually feel like you're going to get someone else and now set it down again? Wow. So the thing is moving on. I moved on. And of course we broke up three years ago. And divorce was filed. I filed it. And yeah. We were done. It's a wrap for him. But about moving on. Mimisita kani goji miyaka ishia tini ta move on niki zeka. Niii iyo divorce na ishia iwa kama umerudi market. Naoga. Unaoga unawa unaenda. Kwa niya unafkirimali ya kwa mistop maisha kiki kutoka kwaende liya? Haa wewa una liya nini. Pakam make up dunga vaa 6 inchi ako vizuri sana tokelezea. My friend. Miya I move done. Infact asiku kasaana. End. Haa. Atusi kuni di kuwaga bidawe. Kuna atu alikwa on standby. Bidawe to be honest I didn't even I didn't even like expose myself at YAMSINGOL nini nini. There was just some people who were like kai are you guys done? Like seriously? You are done? It's a wrap? Is it my time? Your time? Yes. Kus I'm not gonna let this chance pass. And it was the best decision I ever made. I truly found someone who truly loves me. Oh my God he loves me. Do you ever feel you know those two kitambo memories of you could probably trust this other person and now they probably turn out to be different?  Do you ever feel that? First of all these are two different human beings. Okay for sure. Very different. He has not given me a reason one bit to doubt him or to even be afraid. He's given me so much security. He's given me an environment where I don't even have to doubt anything that he does. He's such a good man and he really really was into being with me. He's working on our relationship. You see relationship is about both of you working towards success. Relationship is work by the way. Siti wuka e tu? No ita anguka. You have to work for it. You have to work to make your partner happy and this guy really works very hard to make sure that I am happy. And for that reason he doesn't give me a reason to think about the past or ati kukua insecure kukua worried. I'm actually I'm very comfortable. That's a red flag. But within my relationship no he's not given me a reason to doubt or even focus on the past. That's beautiful. All the best guys. We can't wait for a wedding for sure. We hope to see that. By the way let me tell you about wedding or marriage. I'm not really going to focus on after you experience nili anza ku live a day at a time. You know like ile unha focus na happiness yako. I no longer kai by the unha juna zaito ring up au pewe ring witu emisis flani na nili kwanalia every day. The same day a wedding. Like unha imagine. So for me it's not about the ring. For me it's not about the it's about the relationship itself. If that ring comes let it find me like I didn't even expect. Ya siya tini shina getina niki muuli zahiyun kuni ituna wana lini. Don't pressure anyone into making such a decision. It's a lifetime commitment. It's something that someone has to make from their own heart. It's something that they have to really decide. But don't force issues. Just relax. Enjoy the ride. If he's making you happy enjoy a day at a time. Kuspe isn't of it is kutia kuna watu kwinjwa na fanya. Especially mademwa kifu kaya age 30. Una nza kusumbu ulecha lu kuna. Eh, tawana nini tu dekwa maresi tu nini unha force issues. Na kumbesi kumodyata kwa mbiya mi nili kwa nimi kwa mbiya niku woi. So when you'll insist don't insist. Atau ki piga 35. Woi piga 35 ya kusafi. Watu kwinjwa na wajapata mabuana. Ya not gonna be the first one but don't force issues. But at least the day you'd make that decision and he also makes that decision it will be a concretization that has come from the heart and with a sound mind that you're ready to say I do. But don't force issues if it's not something that he's interested in at the time. Give him time. If you're also not like sure about the guy take your time. Wachana na age wachana na society. So society premi kujaku kwengini. Aki akina made to any time kus also ma paro manzu kifu kaya kaya kahi kare Utoola wali ni aki sasa wewe ni una you know pressure pressure So society nazakpigam to pressure and guys need to chill. Kilam tuakuna time ni aki. Kuna monyatola wajat 20s kuna monyatola na kuna monyata ona pata mabuana at 45. So let's just give it at that time. Let's not pressure because we are the pressure is causing guys to tolerate una indakwa relationship because of a certain thing. But you don't focus on the true facts of why you should be married or you should be in a relationship with this person. Yes. Let's give each other time. Let me find the right person. As we wind up, let's get into the film industry. Kido gotu. Have you seen the real houses of Nairobi? I want to know how do you find it and do you feel like you know have we been represented as as a country? You know the housewives that are there. How do you feel about it? Okay.

We have people here who could have hacked that real good. Yeah. Mi I would, I don't even know why Kate Actress is not there. Mi I'm wondering why she's not there.

But so far Vera is really doing a good job. Mi na is doing an amazing job. They are representing us really, really nice. But I wish to wangi acha tutu kaitu sisi wa Kenya tukwen na yo feelia Nairobi. In as much as they were focusing on high end kind of person Ninihai from the way they express themselves from the lifestyle and Ninihai. I believe they would have gotten. It doesn't have to even be a well-known person but at least tungi patatua Kenya. Mi na na meka zungu kuna. Anyway. Yeah. We're going to have to ask Kujimbu when I see him why Keta Kres Diana B Amber Ray and their likes are not in no part of the real houses of Nairobi.

There are a thousand and one reasons to always be with your cell phone nowadays. I mean, some people work with your phones. Others use your phones to get materials that can help them become better individuals and professionals. However, most people soon become addicted to their phone before they realize it. At first, they give all sorts of excuses to justify their use. But somewhere along the line, even if their reason for using the phone at first is genuine. They become too used to their screen that it becomes challenging to separate their phones from them for too long. Spending too much time on your phone can make you lose out on some valuable time with friends and loved ones, and miss out on some of the things that matter most in life. So how do you know whether you are a phone addict or not? Well, in this video, I will share with you 9 signs you're spending too much time on your phone. If you are new here, consider subscribing so you don't miss out on exciting videos like this. 1. You always have your phone in your hand. If people are always telling you to put your phone away because they feel it has become an extension to your arm, then maybe it is time to take a break from your cell phone. It is a sign that you might be getting addicted to your phone. 2. You feel your phone buzz even when it doesn't.  Well, psychologists say it's a side effect of our smartphone addictions and expectations of always being connected. So, if you always feel your phone buzz even when it doesn't, it's a sign that you spend too much time on your phone. 3. You are more interested in social media than talking to people. If you prefer spending more time going through your social media feeds than hanging out with your family and friends, then you might be turning into a phone addict without even realizing it. They call Matinez, Doctor of Psychology, LCPC. When describing people who are obsessed about social media, said, you cannot leave your phone at home in your purse, in your car, or face down through a visit or dinner, you are more engrossed with what's happening on your phone than what's going on right in front of you. 4. You stopped actively listening to others. Every time you are having a conversation with others, if you find yourself constantly checking your phone to see if you've got new notifications, so much that you barely listen to the person the whole time, then you might be one of those spending way too much time on your phone. Pax Tandon, a holistic wellness coach, said, you find yourself remembering, mm-hmm, to the majority of your friends and family, it is the cup out response when we're multitasking to keep the conversation flowing, but we're not actually listening actively. 5. Separation from your phone makes you feel anxious. No doubt, we all feel the panic of not being able to find our phone, or worse yet, losing it altogether. However, if every time you are separated from your phone, you feel anxious, it means you spend so much time on your phone. Robbie Ludwig, psychotherapist and author, said, if they feel anxious, irritable, overly preoccupied with their phone, very uncomfortable if they can't use it, or are away from their phone for a short period of time. 6. Continuously compare yourself to others. Are you suddenly getting jealous of your friends on Instagram? I mean, seeing their extravagant lifestyle, trips and vacations, their salaries, etc. Well, a little envy is natural. However, when you start getting overwhelmed from comparison, it could be a warning sign that you are spending too much time on your phone.  In the end, it'll bring nothing but the satisfaction. 7.  You know that your smartphone addiction has followed you to bed when you find yourself slipping next to your phone. It becomes the first thing and the last thing you see every day. It is like this. You fall asleep after scrolling mindlessly through your phone, and only to wake up and start again before even getting out of bed. As soon as this becomes your routine, it's a sign that you are becoming a phone addict. 8. Fill up your quiet moments or alone time by checking your phone. If your phone has taken over your quiet time, so much that you can see it as an escape road to not be bored, feel anxious or be alone. It might be a sign that you have become addicted to your phone. According to Ludwig, if you fill up the quieter moments of life or potentially intimate moments you have while in the presence of other people, with phone time, you might be using your phone too much. 9.  No one likes to feel ignored, regardless of the reason. You probably do not want to feel neglected and bored. That's why you resort to using your phone as a tool to help you out. However, if your phone begins to take the place of others in your life, then you might want to retrace that step as quickly as you can. According to Ludwig, ignoring the people that you care about to look and be with your phone is not a good idea. Giving others in your life the feeling that they don't exist or don't matter as much as your screen time in your phone can hurt your relationships. Also, note that it is disrespectful to ignore people because you can't get away from your phone for too long. No one likes the feeling and I'm pretty sure you don't as well. Anyway, now might be a good time to consider this sign to check if you are a phone addict. If you are, then you can find out more about how to stop this addiction.

Live from Davos, join us all week for Excusive and Challenge Davos. The meeting of the World Economic Forum is underway. A path forward in today's geopolitical and economic. One of the key topics here in Davos this year is about rebuilding trust. Geopolitical divides are preventing us from coming together around global solutions for global challenges. People everywhere are losing face in governments, institutions and financial and economic systems. We have seen a dangerous divergence. Richer countries doing much better than poor countries. This divergence matters not only to the people who impact it. It matters to all of us because it undermines global security. Poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere. We cannot think of eradicating poverty without caring about climate, healthcare, food insecurity and fragility. We all need to have the ability of dealing with all of these issues at the same time because we don't have a choice. The hottest year on record was last year. We really are turning our planet into something that's being destroyed by the minute. Developers must do more. They are talking a lot. They are acting less. The 100,000 million dollars in Paris are no longer the amount that is needed every year. It's 30 times higher. There is a strong dependence to fossil waste that we cannot simply ignore. Then the investments need to be for the future, for green energy. Only one in eight people actually have one or more green skills. We need to figure out a way to re-skill millions of people. At the speed at which things are going, everybody needs training. The frontline workers as well as the white-collar workers. While governments hold many of the levers to deal with the great challenges of our time, business have the innovation, the technology, the talents to deliver the solutions we need. AI has been somewhat demystified because people really use it now and that's, I think, always the best way to pull the world forward with the new technology. We've never had a broad, general-purpose technology that diffused to all corners of the globe and created abundance equally. We have a shot at it. It has lots of dark sides to it as well. We have over 70 major elections that are happening this year and all of those can go the way the voters want or AI can change that. The power of AI must be managed. Once you build that solid foundation, you want to use it to reach for the stars. AI could not have developed to the state that it has without collaboration. We need to think of globalization differently and we need to make sure that those who did not benefit during the first round benefit this time. We need a new model for growth that is proactive, not reactive, that is about predistribution, not redistribution. We have to rebuild trust and, most importantly, trust in each other. It's important for us as leaders to create a culture where people feel like they belong, where they can bring their whole self. Companies and economies are in a worse financial situation when they're not inclusive. The math has been done a million times. Too often, young girls are withheld basic access to education and advancement that could spark a brighter future for all of us. What are we leaving our children for the future? Are they going to inherit prosperity or are they going to inherit conflicts? That type of intergenerational responsibility is what has been lacking in the way that the world is being run and we want to bring that spirit back. The secret source is leadership. We're not in the audience, we're in the field, sometimes we fail, but that's the only way we will resolve this.

No rips or tears on there. Once again side curtain airbags and the headliner is in really nice shape. No rips or tears on that and you do get map lights up there as well.

Snatch drunk. Troudlers is a well-made puzzle game that time is completely forgotten for one reason or another and never caught on anywhere, not even in this retro hidden gem macrae's. And I don't get it, I consider this game to be one of the better puzzle games on the Super Nintendo. Maybe not as good as Busta Move or Testress Attack, but it's certainly up there. One reason why this game was so forgotten could be because it has the ugliest title screen I've ever seen. Did they even put the title on there? Oh, it's on the side there, is that... What, what does that say? Troubler's? Chir- Iroodler's? In addition, it's got one of the weirdest named developers I've ever heard, too. Storm? Sales? Curve? What, what is that? Anyway, the game is similar to Lemmings, where your job is to lead these little creatures called trodlers around the screen to the exit. You have a finite number of blocks that you can use to build a way to get them out so you can get to the next mission. There's also a time limit that you have to beat, which is always at least a few minutes. The missions, however, can vary in objective. Sometimes you not only have to save the trodlers, but you also have to collect gemstones or destroy zombie trodlers, which is pretty cool. Zombie trodlers are what make this game really interesting, because some mission objectives say you have to destroy a certain number of them while saving other trodlers. So you can't let the zombies escape to the exit like the other trodlers. Unlike Lemmings, trodlers has a platformer aspect. You control your main character and move him around the screen to get stuff done instead of a mouse cursor, although this game does use the Super Nintendo mouse. Another interesting thing about this game is that there's a very weird and very detailed backstory. To sum up, there's this wizard guy named Divinus, and his two assistants, Hocus and Pocus. That's who you play the game as. Anyway, Hocus and Pocus screw around all the time until finally, Divinus has enough so he makes them clean his storeroom, which hadn't been cleaned in centuries. There they stumble upon a box of magical trodlers. Of course, one thing leads to another and somehow they multiply to the hundreds and they escape, and soon enough they're everywhere. So you gotta get them back. There's 99 levels, and the game really gets complicated as it goes along. There's tons of block types, enemies, and hazards that can all either work for you or against you. The game starts out really easy for the first 10 levels or so, but don't let that deter you. It gets pretty challenging the further you go. It's a short game, though. It won't take you more than a few hours to complete. One major thing in this game's favor is how short the passwords are. Some are actually even words to make them easier to remember. Imagine that. Remember games like Super Tennis or Legend of the Mystical Ninja? Taking forever to type in this long-ass password only to get it wrong? Well, thankfully that's not the case here. Tradlers got it right. Tradlers also got another important aspect, right? And that's the music. In a game where you're fixated on one screen without a lot going on, music is going to be a huge key with the enjoyment level of this game. So much like Tetris Attack and Busted Move, the songs are catchy, pleasant, and really easy to listen to. I can't stress enough how important it is for a game like this. What puts the game over the top, though, is the multiplayer aspect. You can either work together with someone or go against each other, and both are a lot of fun. I would talk a little bit more about this, but I haven't played much of the multiplayer modes, just a little bit. But I've read elsewhere that it's a blast, and I can imagine so. Anyway, yeah, if you like puzzle games, especially multiplayer puzzle games, but you've never heard of Tradlers, then give this one a shot. It's less than 10 bucks on eBay right now, so go get it.


this generative AI, let's understand that it's not just a trend but an emerging technology, it's a world-changing technology. And it's going to, I think, impact every business, every client, every, I think, customers and everyone in the ecosystem. What is notable is to understand that we should not get carried away by the euphoria around this. But at the same time, we should be very conscious of the various challenges that are coming along with it. And we should lay down the rules of the game before we start playing the game. I think that's something very important to take away from today's session.


Pray, we'll get started. Father, we welcome you this morning. We invite your presence, God, come and have your way. Even as we learn from your word, God, I pray that you would create it as a hunger and a desire for more of you, Jesus. Amen, amen, amen. So have you all learned anything in this course so far? Yes, kind of a little bit. A lot of things, thank you. What about you guys online, Krisha, Jachan? Have you learned anything? Has it been helpful? Yes, okay. Awesome. It's too basic, no? That's what I thought. Check, check, okay. It's fine. Check, okay. We need to clear that, whatever that is. Okay, later. Alright, so we've been learning quite a bit about worship. In the last class, we spoke about the presence of God and we spoke about personal worship as well. The presence of God, how do we enter the presence of God? We learned a little bit, not too in detail about the tabernacle of Moses and how it was set up. Is it still loud? Right? It's because it's bouncing back of that wall. Check, okay. Alright, am I audible for you guys online? Is it still? Is it too soft now or too loud? Please let me know. It's clear? Okay, cool. It's fine for you guys, no? Okay, cool. So that's what we learned. How do we enter the presence of God and the importance of personal worship and all of that, right? And I hope you remember some of the things that we discussed in the last class. One of the key things I just want to kind of review or summarize is there were some practical guidelines, right, of a personal worship. It's in the notes. Practical guidelines, what we looked at was drawn near to God intentionally. I don't know which page number for you. It is in the PDF, it's page 28. I think it must be 26 or something for you all. 28? Okay. Some practical guidelines, just a quick review is you have to be intentional if you want to get close to God, right? Express thanksgiving and praise in spoken words and song. Worship with the word. Worship with the word. I'm not sure how many of you tried it as in just open the Bible or Psalm and start singing a Psalm. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's awesome exercise. Actually, we'll try it out a little later. Maybe after the class with those in person. Praying and singing in tongues is very crucial. So because we keep talking about, you know, developing an intimate relationship with God, right? We keep talking about you. You have to know him better. But the very first point says draw near to God intentionally. Okay. If you don't want to get close to him. So here's the thing. I hear most of the young people tell me is, you know, I want to get close to God. You know, I want to hear his voice and whatnot. But most of the times I think we as Christians, okay, we like the idea of getting close to God. We like the idea. I want to get, but we don't want to do anything about it. Right. We'll just write it down and say, okay, I want to get close to God, but I will not read my Bible. I will not pray. I will not do anything. I want to get close to God. Right. So that's not practical. That's not realistic. It does not happen. Okay. You have to be intentional. Intentional. And I know we've spoken about this in the last class is if you want to get, if you want to become a close friends with someone, you are making an effort to get to know that person. Right. Right. I don't know. I mean, if you don't want to get close to the person, you will not go and if I want to get close to say Prince, I might just spend time, you know, during the lunchtime, I'll sit with him and get to know what his family is like. And all of that just for the sake of, because I want to know him and I'm going to spend the next three years of my life with him here in this, in this campus. Right. So I'm making an intentional effort. Are you with me? Right. It's very important to be towards the first thing is proactive. Say proactive. Okay. The opposite of proactive is reactive. Okay. The opposite of proactive is reactive. Now, what is reaction? We all say, so there's action, right? And then there's reaction. No, we know this law, right? For every action, there is an equivalent opposite reaction. Okay. The law of physics. Right. So I don't know if I put something up like a ball or it has to come down. Right. So that's the action. I mean, the ball bounces keeps bouncing. That's the reaction. Right. Most of the time we wait to react. Okay. I want to get close to that person. I want to become friends with that person, but I will wait until that person messages me first. So let that person make the action. I will be the reaction while proactive is you make that first step. You take the initiative. Right. You say, I'm going to do it first. Are you with me? Right. I learned this valuable lesson when I joined APC's worship team. Right. I joined APC's worship team in 2013. From 2004 to say about 2012, 2004 to 2012, I was part of a band. Okay. We were called Living Waters. And I played drums, you know, and we kind of grew. I was 17 when we started. And by the time we ended our journey as the band, I was married. So we met as boys and we grew as men. Okay. And then for, I don't know, at least for 12 years, we played together. Right. For 12 years, it's the same musician, same worship leader, same guitarist, same guy, you know, for 12 years. And then I joined APC's worship team 2013. Every Sunday is a different musician. Every Sunday is a different worship leader. Every Sunday is a different guitarist. I'm like, what is happening? You know, and 12 years you've spent with your friends and you build that what is called as chemistry. You understand that, you know, the guitarist will just give one look and I know what is coming next. He doesn't even have to communicate, right? That understanding that wavelength is there. I was like, what is this? You know, with APC, I'm not feeling comfortable. There's no chemistry with it. It's not happening. I don't know this person. What do I do, God? And I spent one full year complaining. I'm not kidding. One full year I was like, oh, what is this? And I keep going to Pastor Jake's and I'll keep this. I'm like, Pastor, what is this? There's no chemistry. There's no feeling, you know, feeling this. This is nothing happening. And I think toward the end of that year, even God, God a little tired with me. I said, God, what is this? I'm not feeling. I want to serve you and all of that, but it's just the feeling is not there. And so God and his grace and his mercy, he asked, okay, Roshan, so you're not feeling anything. What are you going to do about it? He just asked me that question. I was like, what are you going to do about it? So what he meant was in that full year, I had not made any effort to go and meet with the other worship team members, to get to know them, to meet them over a coffee. And I said like, hey, how is life? How are you doing? You know, what's your story? You see what I'm saying? And once I started making that effort, I got to know them. And you know, and now it's been, it's been some time now, being part of the team and uncomfortable. And I can understand people better, isn't it? And it's the same thing with God, right? He says, you have to be proactive. God has already made the action. What was his action? John 316, he gave, he came, he died. And he rose again. Right? So he's done everything he can to do. Now it's up to you. And Bible says, if you draw near to him, he may draw near to you. He will. Right? It means 100%. Locker. Locker. Right? He will draw near to you. Right? And you have to be intentional about it. That's the whole quick recap with personal worship. Personal. Right? How you individually pursue God. Right? Psalm 23, famous Psalm. We all know the Lord is my shepherd. Right? David is very clear saying, the Lord may be my shepherd. The Lord can be my shepherd. The Lord would be my shepherd. The Lord could be my shepherd. He's not saying all that. The Lord is my shepherd. Right? And so we need to understand that. And just like David just declare that. Okay? The importance of personal worship. Okay? So now let's move on to the corporate worship. We've spoken about personal worship, the importance of it, how you can build your journey. But let's talk about corporate worship, congregational worship, in other words. Okay? What do we mean by corporate worship? Or congregational worship? It's this. What do you do in this morning, chapel time? What do we do in Sunday? Okay? So corporate worship is not some corporation thing. Okay? It's corporate or congregational worship is, is a body of believers coming together. And to worship. Okay? So a simple question. Is corporate worship important? Important. Going to you guys online. Is corporate worship important? Yes. No. Maybe. What do you think, Nina Krisha? Is corporate congregational worship important? Jackson, Karen. You understood what corporate worship is, right? Congregational worship, right? We come together as a church, as a body, right? So my question is, is that important? Yes? Okay. Do we have to have an argument, debate about it? Okay. Side A, side B? Okay. So everybody said yes. A unanimous yes. Okay. The next question, you know what it is. You'll know me so well in just two months. You see? And I didn't even take you all out for coffee. So the next question is, why is it important? Bolo. Why is corporate worship important? Sorry? It builds the church? Okay. You understood the question, right? We understood what is corporate worship. Yes or no? Who was coming in slow motion can come fast. Because it was a little scary. I was like, what's happening in the back there? Don't worry. All right. Prabhu says to encourage one another to be in fellowship. Yeah. We constitute the body. Yeah. Thank you. Fellowship of believers. We worship in spirit and truth. We have oneness and joy. Thank you, Darshan. All right. What else? Why is it important? Yeah. Okay. Like how angels all worship together. Okay. Yeah. Right. So what else? What else? To build each other. Okay. Sorry. Agree. Agree with each other. Okay. Does that happen? Irregardless. Irregardless. Okay. We agree or disagree. It doesn't matter. Okay. But yeah. It shows unity. Okay. What else? What else do you think? Why is it important? God likes it when we come together. Why should he like? I'm genuinely asking. Please. God. Yeah. Okay. Corporate worship is the meeting of the body with the head. Okay. Awesome. Superfound. Thanks. Yeah. So there's a quote. I forget the name of the person, but he said the Christian church was born in a song, you know, and everything about everything that happened in the New Testament in the Old Testament. So one of the most tragic history of the Hebrew people in the Old Testament is when their temple was destroyed by the Babylonian, the temple that Solomon built, right? Right. The temple, the sanctuary was where everybody came together as corporate as a congregation.  Right. That was the most painful, the tragic history in the people, Jewish people, the Hebrew people, but also the most joyful time period in the history of the Hebrews was when they started rebuilding the temple, right? When Nehemiah, Ezra, they were coming back from exile, right? They got permission to come and rebuild and everybody was so happy. And why? Because now there was a common place for people to come and worship, right? And so there's something important. And now when we are talking about personal worship and corporate worship, please remember to know that one is not important than the other. Okay. I'll say this again. Personal worship is not more important than corporate worship or corporate worship. Corporate worship is not more important than personal worship. Both are important. Understood? Yes. So having said all of that, right? Corporate worship is important, right? In heaven, there is no personal worship like we just saw. It's corporate. Every tongue, every tribe, every people from every other nation are going to be there. Are you with me? And there's something beautiful, isn't it? Psalm 133. What does it say? Verse 1. Awesome. Thank you. Behold how beautiful and how pleasant. Okay. It is for brothers to dwell together in unity. The sisters are also involved. Okay. Just in case you're wondering why only brothers are mentioned. Okay. Okay. It's beautiful. It's something nice when we all come together in unity because we have these words, right? We say unity in, unity in diversity. Diversity means what? Differences. There's so many in this room itself. There's so many diverse people, right? We are from different parts of India itself, isn't it? And yet we are all gathered together in Jesus' name. He is the only reason why you and I are here, right? Jesus is the reason why you chose to come and study here, right? His word. Yes or no? Yeah. And it's the same thing. What people, you know, some of them, Kerala and all the way to, where is it? Uttarakhand. There. So, yeah, it's, that's beautiful and that's pleasant, isn't it? So, very quickly, I just want to point out two things. It's not in your notes, but then you can just maybe write it down. Very simple things. Okay. Psalm 34 verse 3. Can someone read Psalm 34 verse 3? Yeah. Okay. One more time, a little louder, right? Oh, magnify the Lord with me. There's an invitation, right? Come, magnify him. Let's make our God bigger, right? Magnify the Lord in me. Let us exalt his name together. Okay. So the two main priorities of corporate worship. First thing is we come together to exalt him. Simple, right? We come together to exalt him. We don't come together so that you and I can feel that nice. Okay. We have to get this very clear. We come together to exalt him. The second thing is we come together to encounter him. Can someone read Second Chronicles? Not Quarantians. Second Chronicles chapter five. Second Chronicles chapter five. Verse 13 and 14. Thank you. Right. And so we see that when people were gathered together corporately, God encounters them. He shows up, right? And so just two points, two priorities of corporate worship is for us to exalt him and then God encounters us. God encounters us today the same way he's been encountering us. You know, he's been encountering his people from years before. All right. So let's look at the notes for a second. In congregational aspect, there are two aspects. One is the vertical aspect and the other is the horizontal aspect. Page 30. Okay, 29. Page 29 in your notes, right? But in the PDF, it's page 30. So there are two aspects. What's a vertical aspect? Vertical means vertical, right? Horizontal is, right? Okay. Yeah. Second Chronicles chapter five verse 13 and 14. Nina. Yeah. Okay. So the vertical aspect, it says the vertical aspect is we are to minister to God to bless and glorify God. That's to exalt him, isn't it? Which is our primary purpose in worship, not to get something for ourselves. You can highlight it, color it. What do you want to do? Not to get something for ourselves. But the primary purpose once again to reiterate is to exalt him, to bless him, to glorify him, right? The question is not whether the worship service blessed me, but whether it blessed God, right? We must minister to the Lord, not with our ulterior motive of receiving a blessing, but rather with the motive of blessing him, whether he blesses us or not. Okay. Remember that the first point is very simple. We are to minister to God. Okay. We've spoken about this quite a bit that in the New Covenant, we are all priests, isn't it? Yes or no, guys. We are all priests, right? I know we're not wearing all these things, and E-Ford and all of that. Okay. Some of you would like to do that. But in the New Covenant, you and I are priests. We come under the priesthood, isn't it? The first, the only job of a priest was to minister to God. In the Tabernacle of Moses, that's all the priest's responsibility was. By him making sure that there was bread on the table, by him making sure that there was lampstand always burning, by making sure that the altar of incense was always, you know, there was incense coming up, by making sure that the sacrifices was happening. In all of that, the priests were ministering unto God. And that's your responsibility. Your number one priority is in the congregational worship is we minister to him. Okay. The second point there. We worship to better realize the presence of God. Psalm 22 verse 3, when we worship, God is enthroned on our praises, right? On our praises, on my praises, on our praises. He builds a throne on our praises. There's another version that says, he inhabits the praises of his people. Right? Look at the choice of words there. He inhabits the praises of his people. His means, there's a corporate thing there, right? It's not just saying one person, I inhabit the praises of just yours or just you. But it's a corporate thing. I inhabit everyone's praises. And verse, sorry, point three there, to provide the atmosphere for the expression of the gift of the Holy Spirit. God waits till we are ready to receive his word. I think there's a verse in Hosea chapter 10 verse 11. I'm not sure. Hosea chapter 10 verse 11, it says, Judah shall plow. Not sure, but it says that. Okay. Hosea chapter 10 verse 11, it says, Judah shall plow. Okay. Judah is what? Means? Praise. Now, plow is what? Plowing the field. You are preparing a field, right? Like a, what's the person? Who? Farmer. Like a farmer who, you know, plows the field. He's preparing the field for the rains to come, isn't it? And so it's, Hosea chapter 10 verse 11, it simply means by saying, Judah shall plow. That means when you begin to praise, you're preparing your heart to receive a word from God. Are you with me? Right. So when you praise, you are preparing your heart to receive a word from God. So that's the vertical aspect. One important point there is we are ministering to God. It's about him. It's not about us. Okay. And now we talk about the horizontal aspect of corporate worship. We read Psalm 133. Can someone read Psalm 86 verse 11, please? And can someone keep first John chapter four verse 21 ready? Unite, my. It's a little loudly. Fair your name. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. So when I ask the question, why is it important? All of you are give the right answer is to build each other up to encourage each other. Right. And that's what the Bible also says is efficient. Chapter five was 19. Can someone read that please? 18 and 19 and Colossians three 16. Loud and clear. Okay. Seeing to one another. Okay. I have a video, but then it's to show how worship used to happen in the synagogues. So synagogues setting was like this square thing. Pretty much this and everybody were facing each other. So there was a group of people this side. There was a group of people this side, the group of people that side, and at the back and there was a big space in the middle where the priest would come and open the scroll and begin to read. And so they were and as the it's pretty much like how you hear the Muslims worship, right? Kind of one person will sing out and the other person will, I mean, the congregation will kind of repeat what he is just chanted. It's very similar because it's from the same region, right? So the priest would kind of read out a psalm or sing a psalm. I'm not going to attempt to sing like the Middle Eastern people. But and so as he sings, the Lord is my shepherd and then everybody will repeat this thing together. And so that's what it was. What simply means is sing to one another psalms and spiritual songs. Isn't it? And so it kind of, there's something about it. Can someone read Colossians 316? Okay. So teaching and admonishing one another. Okay. Is everybody looking at Colossians 316? Yeah. I want everybody to look at it again. Vimal, can you read it one more time please for us? Okay. Thank you. We are to, I mean, when we, when someone comes and shares during the chapel time, devotion time, what is happening? We are building each other up, right? When we go to us, we have Wednesday's Bible study or Sunday service, simply what's happening is when pastor is teaching, he's building us up. Isn't it? You have cell groups, life groups and all of that. When we just discuss about God's word, when we just come to, when we just sit down and we start saying like, Hey, this is what God told me from this Psalm. And it encouraged me and I hope it blesses you too. We say that, isn't it? And so that's what corporate worship is all about is us just coming, seeing and worshiping God together and encouraging each other with his, with his word. So I want to do an exercise. Let's, I'm not sure how well it's going to work out. This is a keyboard working one second. Okay. Sorry guys, I disappeared for a second. Josh, I see a question. I'll respond to it. Okay. Okay. All of us. Let's try and hum that note. Okay. Let's say. Okay. Ready? One, two and sustain it. Three, go. Keep going. Don't fade. Keep going. Take deep breath and keep going. I can't hear you. A little louder. All right. You can try this out at home also. Okay. Okay. Okay. I said, don't stop guys. Don't stop. Keep it going. Ready for a breath. All right. Keep it going. Let's go one more time. One, two, three. Okay. Now only this gang. Only this gang. Okay. Only all. Keep it going. Okay. And you all. Okay. Okay. Let's all try this together one more time. Okay. Stop. So. Okay. Let's do a la. Okay. It'll be a little bit more louder, I guess. La. Okay. La. La. La. La. Not him. La. La. Understood. Got it? Okay. You guys got it? You all got it? All right. So. La. La. Okay. Ready? So you got the note, right? Right. Sean. La. Okay. La. La. Let's just root three and five. Ready? Go. La. La. La. La. Rin. What happened? La. Okay. We can do a little bit more better. We'll sound a little bit more round. Okay. La. Okay. La. Okay. Not la. Okay. Okay. So we'll not go wide. We'll go vertical. Okay. We'll try and sound like a choir. Okay. So. All right. La. Okay. Everybody la. La. La. No. La. Okay. Keep it going. Yo. La. Okay. You're supposed to cut when I do this. Okay. This means. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Okay. Let's try that one more time. So this time you will stop when I tell you to stop. Okay. Ready? You remember the note? Everybody remembers the note. La. La. La. Okay. Ready? One, two, three. Go. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. Okay. Is like a choir. Right. We take a choir and we just take one note. At the root note is la. And then we harmonize it. Right. The other note is a C sharp. Right. So this is a. Whoa. We changed the note. Okay. La. Okay. This thing is not la. Okay. La. La. La. La. Okay. I'm not playing the seventh. Okay. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. La. different, right? Our likes and dislikes are different. But when we put all of that aside and say, okay, it's not about me, it's about him. So we come together in unity. When we worship, it sounds like this beautiful harmony. Right? And so that's corporate worship, the beauty of corporate worship. Okay, so let's just quickly summarize in your notes. All right. So summary, in congregational worship, we minister to God. Right? As a congregation, we minister to the Lord. Right? Second point is corporate worship brings about a sense of unity within the church. Okay? It brings about a sense of unity within the church. It doesn't matter the background, the cultures, the languages. But one thing that we all have in common is that we are saved by His grace. And so we love and worship Him. Right? Third point is the songs we sing as a congregation enable us to learn, teach, and reinforce spiritual truth. Okay, look at that point very slowly. The songs we sing as a congregation enable us to learn, teach, and reinforce spiritual truth. Right? When we take a song like, say, 10,000 reasons, you're rich in love and slow to anger. Your name is great and your heart is kind. You all know the song, right? For all your goodness, I will keep on singing 10,000 reasons and forevermore. Okay?  It's, you know, tell the memory verses, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me like running green pastures. That used to happen to me, right? If I had to go and during my school days, if I had to go out and play, if I wanted to go and play cricket, I had to memorize the Psalm and tell my mom. I was like, you know, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not worry. Don't even understand, like, you know, anybody can memorize and buy heart and just say it. But when you just begin to pause and say, you are rich in love and you are slow to anger, you're engaging with those words, right? Okay. But he's been patient with me. I've failed him. I've sinned so many times, but he's rich in love. Because of his love and his mercy, I'm still alive, right?  Your name is great and your heart is kind. You're letting those words, you have to let those words do something to you, right? And so that's what's happening in point three is that when we sing, you know, together, we learn, we teach, we reinforce. That means you're reminding yourself once again, hey, it doesn't matter how you feel, this God that you and I are worshiping, he's rich in love, he's slow to anger, right? Point four, corporate worship prepares our hearts and provides the atmosphere for the preaching of the word. Oh, this was at any level. Okay. Right. Corporate worship prepares our hearts and provides the atmosphere for the preaching of the word. And we just looked at that verse was at any level and Judah shall plow. It simply means praise prepares our hearts to receive, to hear from the word of God, right? Do you remember Second Chronicles chapter 20, Jehoshaphat's chapter King Jehoshaphat, armies are attacking, but Jehoshaphat calls the nation of Israel and calls a fast. And let's pray. What is happening there? They're just plowing, they're just preparing their hearts. And then the prophet comes and tells, like, don't worry, battle belongs to the Lord, right? If you're in that season where I want to hear from God, but I can't hear anything, I don't know what to do. He's not talking to me. I just continue to praise him, bless him. And then you're preparing a heart to hear from him. And finally, it facilitates us to express the feelings of our heart in uninhabited worship. It allows us to just be extra expressive in different ways, like dancing and painting and singing and playing music. And that's what it does, allows us to come to sing and one person to play the keyboard, the other person to play the cajon and all of that. So that's the importance of corporate worship. It's beautiful. And I can't find another word to express it, corporate worship, in its differences, in its diversity, in its complexity. It's beautiful. I heard this one example of a church, of a preacher. I don't really like examples where it says church is like this, church is like that, but then this was kind of nice. He said, church is like Noah's Ark. Okay, where are you going with this? Church is like a Noah's Ark, right? Noah's Ark was not a seven star cruise ship. Noah's Ark was not a seven star cruise ship with swimming pool and an amazing, you know, seven star hotel and whatnot. Noah's Ark was filled with what? Different kinds of animals, isn't it? And with different kinds of animals comes different kinds of smells also. Yes or no? So, are you with me? Right? But it was the safest place on earth, right? It was the safest place on earth. And so church maybe like, it's maybe like that. Okay, you may not like that person because nobody is perfect, isn't it? But then it's the safest place on earth, in his sanctuary, right? And so that's the beauty of corporate worship. When we come together, God just takes great delight in it. Okay, so we'll stop with this chapter for now and we'll take a break. And Jajjan, I'll respond to your question in the stream section. Is that okay? I'll post my reply there. All right. And I hope that's okay. Okay, we'll take, we'll pause here and we'll go take a break and we'll get back at 10 a.m. Thank you.


If I asked you give me a word or two to describe still is why I receive a juju Smith shuster What's the first thing that comes to your mind? I know a lot of people will say take talk a lot of people will say dancer a lot of people say funny a lot of people say entertaining But I think a word that really resonates with everybody Especially after what we saw this offseason with his decision-making It would be loyalty Now as the Steelers drafted juju in the second round about what five years ago for five years ago And he had a very interesting decision to make He had a decision to choose. Oh, do I stay or do I go and to me? I was thinking uh-oh the Steelers they didn't put a tend on juju They didn't franchise tag juju They didn't resign him before he became a free agent or even after so this dude got an opportunity to leave So this team they didn't show any loyalty to you and then on top of that Two teams that the Steelers definitely have some recent history with Offered him more money than the Steelers ended up offering him And that was the Ravens who were looking for receiver help and the chiefs Who are always looking to make that team better and stronger and even more powerful But juju who received bigger offers from both baltimore and kansas city said No I'm not doing it not going there And those two are both obviously very successful teams very very well-run organizations, but juju said no i'm straight i'm staying right here And essentially what juju was doing was setting himself up for the long run But he was setting himself up for the long run Through loyalty because while he did take a cheaper deal to remain with the Steelers It was a one-year deal So essentially this one-year deal could propel him to get in a multi-year deal whether it be with the Steelers Or maybe somebody else in the future But that would set himself up if he had a nice year here in the system that he's already familiar with In the system that he already knows and in the system that already knows him Then he would be set for the future again, whether it be in pittsburgh or whether it be somewhere else And you had to respect him for choosing that route I know me I was and I mean y'all can go back and watch the videos I was one of ravens fans that actually wanted juju smith shoes to hear I did and I don't I don't feel bad about that at all because I felt like juju He could have been a good fit. I felt like juju He's a physical wide receiver and one thing that my my ravens they struggled at which the Steelers do A pretty good job at because they throw a lot of short passes They throw a lot of passes around or sometimes even behind but around the line of scrimmage But what those Steelers receivers do what juju smith shoes to does They get a lot of yak They're offense again a lot of short pass They do they do throw the deep shots in there, of course But a lot of short passes so those Steelers receivers they got a fight And they got to get a lot of yak And I was like man my ravens they've they've been struggling in the yak department for years now adding juice juju adding juju smith shoes to that would help in that department And that could also open it up for the other wide receivers around them too. So I was like, oh, yeah, that was for juju So when he turned down the ravens often and turned down the chiefs often I heard about why and heard about the money and stuff. I was like, okay That's cool. I ain't mad at him for that and I respect it Because loyalty is something that you don't hear about in the NFL very often Because these teams they are not loyal to these players Uh, that's why I I can never ever get mad at a player who wants to get his bread one way or another Whether it's one of your favorite players on your favorite team and they like I want to be traded Because I you know, I want to get paid and if they know they're not going to get paid from that current team I want to be out or even if their contract runs out and they like, you know what? I'ma go elsewhere because I know this team isn't going to pay. I respect it because NFL It's not for loyalty. That's what it stands for. It's not for loyalty because it's not But juju chose to go to loyal route And it sucks that now he is going to be he injured his shoulder and he had the surgery They said he had the surgery either last night or this morning And that not only puts him on injured reserve, but that's in it ends his season. So a season is done That's a wrap And you know what juju smith shoester? He was a player that he Showed his emotions out there on the field and I know a lot of people. Oh, he was a diva. He's this. No He he showed his emotions out there. I remember it was a game And that game actually did help my ravens to get into the playoffs that year Uh, I want to say it was in 2018 um, it might have yeah, I think it was 2018 where uh, The saints were playing the stealers And it was looking like the stealers had everything wrapped up Uh, ross berger threw a pass to juju juju caught it fumble fumble And that ended the game saints ended up winning And juju smith shoester Who you all know for of course the tiktoks and the dancing and having fun high energy guy But he was on the sideline crying And a lot of people look down on that They were like, oh man, look at this dude crying on the sideline.  No, man You got to respect that that dude felt bad That the play that he made It cost this team a game And it cost this team a big spot there too in the playoffs so Shout out to uh, juju smith shoester for I just respect him, man I respect him because again, he puts it all out there Whether good whether bad he puts it out there and now that his season is done That's a big blow to the stealers because they have a very streaky offense in my opinion I feel like the offense is not very consistent. It's either it can be either really hot Or really not So in the times where it's really not and now you lose a player like juju smith shoester Who is one of your top receivers? Of course, you got chase claypool stealer And the ontage and then this is going to put more pressure on them to have to step up that much more But when you lose somebody like a juju smith shoester, then it just makes things for you that much harder So we'll see how the stealers Bounce back we'll see what moves or corresponding moves they make to juju smith shoester being out for the year now Um, and we just hope that everything goes smooth and it's a it's a smooth process with his recovery Now this may essentially hurt him In the short run in the short term Because again, he did just sign a one-year deal to come back to the stealers that was going to set him up for the long term But now Teams may be hesitant to give you that long term deal because you just has shoulder surgery And they're going to want to see how you recover how you bounce back And teams may not just want to throw out all that money to you right away So he may end up wherever he goes next whether he remains with Pittsburgh again Or just leaves he may end up signing another one-year deal So we'll see how it all ends up anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and we out
