Well good morning! Thank you for the warm welcome. So great to see all of you again. Love your pastor, and it's always an honor to fill in for him. If you have your bibles, go ahead and turn with me to 1 Thessalonians chapter 2. 1 Thessalonians chapter 2. If you don't have a Bible, we're going to put them on the screen. The verses up on the screen for you as well. But I'd like to draw your attention to verse 13, and then just make a comment or two by way of introduction to our topic, and then we'll go ahead and pray one more time as well. But notice this. The apostle Paul says this in verse 13, 1 Thessalonians chapter 2. He says, For this reason, we also constantly thank God, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. The apostle Paul here commends the Christian believers in the ancient city of Thessalonica for realizing that the scriptures he had shared with them some years previously were not a collection of cleverly devised fables or the musings of some philosophers. No, he commends them for recognizing that the scriptures were the very word of God. Now I'm sure that most of you who are here this morning believe that to be the case about the Bible. You're convinced that it's the word of God written by men, yes, but men who were guided by God as they pinned down its words. You're convinced of that as I am. But you probably have some friends, neighbors, co-workers, family members who are not so convinced, are they? They have questions and doubts about the Bible. Many of them think the Bible is just an ancient book of fiction and mythology. So why would you take it seriously? Or they say the contents of the Bible have been changed and tampered with down through the centuries. Or the Bible is out of sync with modern scientific discoveries. Ever heard any of these objections? I'm sure you have. So then why do we continue to believe the Bible is trustworthy? That's what I want to talk to you about today. I'd like to lay out a concise overview of six different evidences for the trustworthiness of the Bible. Six reasons I'm convinced the Bible is the word of God. And six reasons I believe anyone who's open-minded enough to consider the evidence can also come to that same conclusion. So I hope it's an encouragement to you in your faith and that it will also help equip you to be better prepared to talk to people who have questions and doubts about the Bible. So let's go ahead and pray and we'll dive in. Heavenly Father, thank you again for this time. We're thankful for this church and all that you've done here in this place over the years. God and we're eager to be encouraged in our faith today. We know the Bible is under assault today from a variety of different directions. We pray that you would just use this short time together today to strengthen and fortify our faith and that we would also leave here better equipped to talk to people who have questions and doubts about the Bible. So work to that end. We pray now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. If you're a note taker, jot it down. Number one, the first reason you can be confident that the Bible is the word of God is fulfilled prophecy. Fulfilled prophecy. Of course, sports analysts, political experts, and even astrologers today seem to enjoy making predictions about future or upcoming events. But their failure rate quickly reveals how inept we are as humans at rightly predicting future events. Think back just to our last presidential election. Experts across the country were assuring us what the outcome was going to be and who was going to be our next president. A lot of America was quite surprised at the outcome. But it was a reminder to me that we have a difficult time making accurate predictions about future events, even just a day or two or a week in advance when there's only two options really to choose between. Well, this is one of the reasons the Bible's fulfilled prophecies are so astounding. Over and over again, the authors of the Bible rightly foretold future events, oftentimes hundreds of years in advance. Many skeptics don't realize that the Bible is literally filled with hundreds of specific detailed prophecies about persons and places and events, many of which have already come to pass. Consider a few of the prophecies made regarding Jesus. Of course, long before Jesus was born, Old Testament Hebrew prophets told us that a Savior was going to be born into the world one day who would make a way for sinful humanity to be reconciled back into a right relationship with our Creator. These Old Testament prophets said that this coming Savior would be a descendant of Abraham, that he'd enter the world through the tribe of Judah, that he'd be born into the lineage of David, the king of Israel about 3,000 years ago. They began laying out those kinds of specific details all the way back in the very first book of the Bible, the book of Genesis. They went on to say in passages like Micah chapter 5 verse 2 that this coming Savior would be born in the little town of Bethlehem. That was written about 700 years before Jesus's birth. Isaiah 7 verse 14 said that he would miraculously be born to a young virgin girl. Malachi chapter 3 verse 1 declared that he would come while the Jewish temple was still standing. That's interesting. Is that temple still standing in Jerusalem today? No, that's a miniature model of it there on the screen. Flavius Josephus, a first-century historian, tells us that the Romans marched into Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. They leveled it to the ground 2,000 years ago. The year was AD 70 when that event occurred. Well, according to these prophecies in the Old Testament, this coming Savior would stand in that temple. That would require that this Messiah or Savior come on the world stage prior to that catastrophic event. And of course, we know Jesus met that timing requirement. He stood in the temple shortly before it was destroyed. Isaiah 35 verse 5 and 6 foretold the kinds of miracles that he would perform. Check it out sometime. It says there he's going to open the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, and cause the lame to walk. Some of the very kinds of miracles we read about in the New Testament accounts of Jesus's life. And they didn't stop there. Isaiah 53 verse 3 prophesied that in spite of his miracles, in spite of his good works, he would then be despised and forsaken by humanity. Psalm 118 verse 22 said that he would even be rejected by his own people. Fascinating. Think of that hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Hebrew prophets foretold the fact that the Jewish people would reject their own Messiah, their own Savior. And that's precisely what happened when the Jewish religious leaders handed Jesus over to Pontius Pilate to be put to death. They were fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. Daniel chapter 9 verse 24 through 26 prophesied the precise year in history that this coming Savior would die for the sins of the world. Check it out sometime. Get out a good Bible commentary on the book of Daniel. This is incredible. Daniel nails the year of Jesus's crucifixion 600 years before Jesus was born. Amazing. Psalm 22 verse 16 through 18 prophesied how he would die. David writing a thousand years before Jesus was even born says that his hands and his feet are going to be pierced during his death. This might have been a bit confusing to people back in David's day. Why is that? Well, because when David penned those words, that was at least 300 years before the Persians had even invented the art of crucifixion. Yet with God's help, David was able to accurately describe the details surrounding Jesus's death a thousand years in advance. And they didn't stop there. Psalm 16 verse 10 and Isaiah 53 verse 10 went on to say that he would then, this coming Savior would then rise from the dead. Friends, this is just a tiny sampling of some of the prophecies that were fulfilled in Jesus's life. There were lots of others and the Bible is replete with several other prophecies, hundreds of other prophecies about other kinds of events, the rise and fall of nations, prophecies that predicted the regathering of the Jewish people back into their homeland. Question for you, are there Jews living in Israel today? Yes, there are. You know, for 2000 years they were without a homeland. The Romans drove them out of the land. After the Holocaust, there was a lot of sympathy around the world for the Jewish people and they thought, the United Nations thought, we need to give them their own country. Where can we put them? And so in 1947, they gave the land of Israel back to the Jewish people. God said in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, in the last days, I am going to give my people back that land and I'm going to bring them back and I'm going to plant them in the land. That's one of the reasons we believe we're living in the last days now. Because God says in the last days, I'm going to put my people back in the land. Another example of fulfilled prophecy. But the fulfillment of these prophecies is compelling evidence that these men spoke with the aid of the all-knowing, all-powerful God described in the Bible. The God who declared in Isaiah chapter 46 verse 9 and 10, I am God and there is none like me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done. In other words, God says here, there's no one else in the universe who can accurately tell you what's going to happen centuries in advance. And that is certainly the case. No other book in the world today is able to substantiate its claims with this kind of supernatural ability to rightly predict future events. There are no fulfilled prophecies in the Koran, the Hindu Vedas, or the Book of Mormon. Not one. Fulfilled prophecy is something that sets the Bible apart from every other religious book. And that is the first line of evidence that the Bible really is what it claims to be. Fulfilled prophecy. To strengthen our case, we can add this. Number two, if you're taking notes, archaeological evidence. Archaeological evidence. Many critics who brush off the Bible as a compilation of folklore and legends do so overlooking the fact that thousands of archaeological discoveries over the past century have again and again verified different details in the Bible. Take for example, the 1993 discovery mentioning David, the king of Israel. By the way, these aren't actual portraits of the persons. In case you were wondering, but up until 1993, many skeptics considered David, the king of Israel, to be a mythological invention. Why the skepticism regarding him? Because there wasn't a shred of evidence outside of the Bible that he was a real person. Well, their skepticism regarding David collapsed overnight in 1993 when this piece of an ancient monument dating back to 900 years before Christ was pulled up out of the ruins of an ancient city in northern Israel, mentioning David, the king of Israel. As a result of that discovery, Time Magazine said, the skeptics claim that King David never existed is now hard to defend. Indeed it is. Another fascinating discovery has to do with this man, Pontius Pilate. The New Testament authors tell us that he was the Roman emperor of Judea at the time of Christ. Of course, he oversaw Jesus' trial and then had him sentenced to death by crucifixion. Was he a legendary figure maybe though? No. A team of Italian archaeologists was digging here in the Mediterranean port city of Caesarea. While digging around in the jumbled ruins of this ancient Roman theater, these archaeologists made an amazing discovery. They unearthed this limestone block that bore an inscription in Latin dating to the early part of the first century that mentioned Pontius Pilate, prefect or governor of Judea. So that inscription verified for us that Pontius Pilate was a real historical person that he reigned in the very position ascribed to him in the Gospels and that his prefect, he would have indeed had the authority to pardon or condemn Jesus just as the Gospel accounts report. Some other fascinating archaeological discoveries include ancient extra biblical accounts of a catastrophic flood, accounts that were written down after the flood as Noah's descendants spread out to different parts of the ancient worlds. The ruins of Jericho and the collapsed walls spoken of in the book of Joshua, chapter six, have now been unearthed and identified by archaeologists. The ruins of Nineveh, where Jonah went and preached, have been found. On the left there is a relief of King Sargon. You've read about him in Isaiah chapter 20. One of the other fascinating discoveries at Nineveh was this six-sided clay prism known as the Shannakarib prism. It speaks of the Assyrian king Shannakarib's invasion of Judah written about in 2 Kings in the book of Isaiah, and it corroborates many of the details in the biblical account. You can go to London today and walk through the British Museum and see that with your own eyes. King Hezekiah's tunnel built to secretly channel water into the city of Jerusalem around 700 BC has been identified. You can go to Israel today and walk through that tunnel, the one written about in 2 Kings chapter 20. The ancient ruins of Babylon written about in Daniel chapter one located in modern day Iraq have been excavated. Archaeologists have identified the ruins of Nebuchadnezzar's palaces and his temples. The very buildings that Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would have been so familiar with. The ruins of King Herod's palace just south of Jerusalem have been unearthed as well as coins with his name inscribed on them. Of course he was the one who sought to have Jesus killed shortly after he was born in Matthew chapter two. The pool of Siloam mentioned in John chapter nine where Jesus sent the blind man with the mud on his eyes to wash and where his eyes were opened up has now been identified and excavated. Another one of Herod's palaces he had a few. This one mentioned in Mark chapter six. That's the Dead Sea quite a view from the top of that hill but it overlooked the Dead Sea. This is the very palace where John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded. And then this synagogue in Capernaum you've read about it in Mark chapter one verse 21. It's mentioned there in the New Testament. We're told that Jesus himself often hot at that very location. So you can go to Israel today and see these and hundreds of additional discoveries with your own eyes there. An amazing testimony to the Bible's historical reliability. If you'd like to learn more about how archaeologists have made several finds that have helped to verify details in the Bible. I have written a full color book on the topic with nearly a hundred color photographs in it and I also have put out an hour long DVD that looks at those as well. We've got some of those outside in the gazebo if you're interested. So number one we have hundreds of fulfilled prophecies to strengthen our case. We can add to that thousands of archaeological discoveries. Let's consider a third pool of evidence for the Bible. If you're taking notes number three the Bible's internal consistency. The Bible's internal consistency. What am I talking about? Well I'm talking about the Bible's internal harmony from the first book of the Bible to the last book of the Bible. The Bible is absolutely consistent or harmonious in what it teaches. Now the skeptic says hold on here a second Charlie I mean why is that an evidence of the Bible's trustworthiness? There are plenty of books out there that are internally consistent and the skeptic is right about that. Back in the mid 1990s before God led me into pastoral ministry I worked at a surfing magazine in downtown Laguna Beach and we put out an internally consistent magazine just about every month. Does that mean then that we too were writing down God-breathed scripture every month? No, I can assure you of that. Well then what makes the Bible any different than some other book or magazine that is internally consistent? Well let me share with you a handful of quick reasons why I think the internal harmony of the Bible is indeed evidence of its divine origin. The first reason is this. The Bible addresses life's most controversial questions. The Bible addresses life's most controversial questions. At the surfing magazine we wrote about who won the latest surf contest, surf wax, sunscreen. I thought it was all pretty important stuff at the time. Looking back on it now it seems a little bit trivial but these are not the type of matters that the authors of the Bible were writing about. No from beginning to end they tackled the big questions of life. Questions like how did the universe come into existence? We never touch that at the magazine. Does God exist and if so what is he like and why do people exist? Why is there evil and suffering in the world and what happens to people after they die? Those are the big controversial questions of life. Those are the questions people tend to disagree about and yet those are the very questions the authors of the Bible tackle head on chapter after chapter book after book from beginning to end and they do so absolutely consistently. A second reason I think the internal harmony of the Bible is evidence of its divine origin is this. The Bible is a collection of 66 different documents. It might be easy to have internal harmony if the Bible was a single document but it's not. It's a compilation of more than five dozen different books. Thirdly the Bible was written by approximately 40 different authors who wrote in three different languages. Contrast that with the Quran. I think it would be easy to have internal harmony in the Quran. Why is that? Because it contains the teachings of one person. A man by the name of Muhammad born about 600 years after Jesus. Well the Bible is completely different than the Quran in this regard. It contains the teachings, the writings of approximately 40 different people. Fourthly the Bible was written over a period of approximately 1500 years. Many of the authors did not even know one another and not only were many of them separated by hundreds of years in time. Factor number five, many of the authors were separated by hundreds of miles geographically. The Bible was written down in different places on three different consonants, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Now I don't know about you but when I think of pulling together 40 different people spread out over 1500 years who live on three different continents who speak three different languages to write 66 documents regarding life's most controversial issues. I'm thinking we're going to have some serious problems. That book is going to be a mess. Yet in spite of all these factors the Bible is a perfectly harmonious consistent account of how God is seeking to reconcile sinners like you and me back into relationship with himself. This internal consistency this internal consistency we believe is compelling evidence that the authors were being guided by God as they pin down the different books of the Bible. So that's a third line of evidence that the Bible is the word of God. The Bible's internal consistency but we can continue to strengthen our case. Number four, if you're taking notes jot it down, extra biblical writings. Extra biblical writings what am I talking about? Well I'm talking about the fact that there are dozens of writings that survive outside of the Bible in the ancient records of the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Romans that verify the historical accuracy of the Bible's records of different persons, places, and events. As far as persons are concerned external sources verify that more than 50 persons mentioned in the Old Testament and more than 30 persons written about in the New Testament were actual historical figures. Think of that. Do the math there on the screen. More than 80 persons in the Bible are talked about in ancient historical sources outside of the Bible. When we open up our Bibles we're not reading about mythological characters. We're reading about real historical people. In fact right there on the screen for you are written references outside of the Bible to three people you're familiar with if you're a student of the Bible. Hezekiah on the left, Nebuchadnezzar there in the middle, and Cyrus on the right. The first century historian Flavius Josephus writes about more than a dozen persons mentioned in the New Testament including Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, John the Baptist, Caiaphas the High Priest, and Jesus. As for biblical events that have extra biblical corroboration the examples are plentiful. Let me just give you two quick examples. One from the Old Testament, one from the New, first the old. We're told in the Old Testament that Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians came against the southern kingdom of Judah that year was 605 BC. The Bible tells us that they laid siege on the city of Jerusalem and then when the city fell they took many of the Jews including Daniel captive back to the city of Babylon in modern day Iraq. You've read about this in 2 Kings 24 and Daniel chapter 1. Well this is an example of a major biblical event that has been confirmed outside of the Bible. Where so? In ancient Babylonian records. Thousands of ancient Babylonian clay tablets containing a treasure trove of information about Babylon's history were unearthed in Babylon in the mid 19th century. They're known to archaeologists today as the Babylonian Chronicle Tablets. And amazingly these Babylonian records tell us of their siege against Jerusalem. And they also confirm the fact that when the city fell the Babylonians then deported the Jewish people hundreds of miles to the east back to their capital city of Babylon. This just goes to show that the authors of the biblical text were telling us the truth about these matters. Here's a quick example of an extra biblical confirmation of a New Testament event. This one concerns John the Baptist. The New Testament tells us that Herod the Great's son Herod Antipas cast John the Baptist into prison for condemning Antipas' adulterous relationship with his brother's wife. Sometime later an executioner came and John was beheaded. You're familiar with that. Well this too has been confirmed outside of the Bible. Where so? In the writings of Flavius Josephus. Flavius Josephus talked about Herod Antipas, Herod's adulterous wife, and the murder of John the Baptist in his first century book called Antiquities of the Jews. Here's a short excerpt from Josephus. I'll put it on the screen for you. Notice who he mentions there on the top line. He says John that was called the Baptist was a good man and commanded the Jews to exercise virtue both as to righteousness towards one another and piety towards God and so to come to baptism. Herod who feared the great influence John had over the people sent him a prisoner out of Herod's suspicious temper to Maccarus, the castle I before mentioned, and was there put to death. So note that. Josephus verifies for us that John the Baptist was a real historical person in Israel in the first century. He had an enormous following and influence amongst the Jews but then he was imprisoned and put to death by Herod Antipas just like the New Testament tells us. Other historical sources outside the Bible corroborate all kinds of other details that we don't have time to discuss this morning but friends critics of the Bible who attempt to just brush it aside is a compilation of legend only reveal they have not done any serious research into the authenticity of the Bible. How about number five if you're taking notes the Bible scientific accuracy and foresight. The Bible scientific accuracy and foresight when it comes to known testable verifiable facts the Bible has been found to be in perfect harmony with the way things really are which is incredible if you think about it because as you know the Bible was written two to four thousand years ago long before the invention of microscopes telescopes satellites and other technologies that have allowed us to investigate the earth and universe. Well the fact that the Bible was written so long ago and touches on a myriad of topics and yet does not contain any scientific errors might be considered evidence for divine inspiration all on its own why is that well without exception every ancient religious writing has certain unscientific views of astronomy medicine hygiene and so on for example the Hindu Vedas teach that the earth is flat and triangular in shape they also teach that earthquakes are the result of elephants shaking their bodies underneath the ground don't you wish that was what was happening I mean that sounds that sounds safer to me than the San Andreas fault is slipping well the Quran and the book of Mormon have numerous scientific errors in them as well which we document on our website at alwaysbeready.com if you're unfamiliar with the website and you have a pen handy or your phone you might jot it down now I mentioned the Hindu Vedas and elephants shaking their bodies underneath the ground the Bible steers free of these kinds of errors but not only that it makes known amazing facts about our world and the universe thousands of years before scientists discovered they were actually true allow me just to share with you two quick examples there's about three dozen of these kinds of statements in the Bible but two will have to suffice for now this first one has to do with the shape of the earth the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians are on the historical record for having believed that the earth was flat well remarkably the Bible went against the prevailing views of the day and indicated the earth was actually around sphere where so well in one of the it's thought to be one of the oldest books in the Bible in Job chapter 26 verse 10 we read that God has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness well that's fascinating let me break it down for you what he just indicated Job says that God has drawn a circle where on the surface of the waters a reference to the oceans at the boundary he says of light and darkness this boundary between light and darkness is where evening and morning occur depending on what side of the planets you're on but notice that the boundary is not a square or a triangle it's a circle why is that because the earth is round another verse that spoke of the circular shape of the earth is found in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 22 where we're told God sits above the circle of the earth from space the earth has a circular shape to it doesn't it how would Isaiah have known that 2,700 years ago or Job even you know earlier than that about 4,000 years ago we believe they had help from our creator a second example of the Bible's amazing accuracy in foresight concerns the suspension of the earth the suspension of the earth ancient Hindus believe the earth rested on the backs of elephants who stood on the back of a turtle that's some turtle I mean if that was really the way it was I mean can you imagine bumping into that thing but there were all kinds of theories in the ancient worlds people thought something has to support the earth what did the Bible say regarding the matter well again in one of the oldest books in the Bible Job said this in Job 26 verse 7 he says that God stretches out the north over empty space he hangs the earth on nothing nothing no turtles no elephants just in other words the earth hangs completely unattached in space this is astounding scientists were trying to figure these kinds of things out thousands of years later now these kinds of statements in the Bible raised the question how did the authors living so long ago know these kinds of details well the Bible doesn't leave us in the dark it tells us that men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit the God who knows all there is to know about the earth and the universe he came alongside these many super intended the writing of Scripture to make sure that what he wanted written was what was pinned down now we still have time for one more line of evidence let me pause here though before we dive into number six I want to point out something to you I've purposely arranged these first five evidences in the order that I have so that if you can remember the simple acronym FACES F-A-C-E-S you'll have a bit of a memory aid to work from the next time you're looking into the faces of people who are questioning your confidence in the Bible rather than drawing a blank and not knowing where to go in the conversation you've got five talking points here and that word FACES can remind you where you can go in the conversation the F can be a reminder to you that you can talk to them for a minute or two about fulfilled prophecy the A is a reminder that you can then switch gears and talk about archaeological evidence the C is a reminder of the Bible's internal consistency the E is a reminder of extra biblical writings and the S is a reminder of the Bible's scientific accuracy and foresight so hopefully that'll be helpful to you for future conversations now we still have a bit of time to consider one more line of evidence for the the Bible number six heading down the home stretch here if you're a note taker jot it down the Bible's fourth rightness about failures the Bible's fourth rightness about failures what am I talking about well have you ever gone to a website maybe for a company or a charity and clicked the about us button there's nearly always a carefully crafted glowing overview of what that company or political organization or religious group is about if they have an R history button or our founder button again you nearly always get a favorable overview of the founder you never read that the founder is a murderer or an adulterer with a criminal record right well knowing human tendency to leave these kinds of details out I find the Bible's fourth rightness to be quite remarkable over and over the biblical writers tell us about the failures weaknesses and sins of the fathers of the faith their own people and even themselves does this fourth rightness prove that the Bible is divinely inspired absolutely not but I do think this kind of transparency helps strengthen our case that the Bible appears to be an honest work allow me just to remind you of some transparent details we read about in the Bible about Noah's drunkenness and inappropriate nakedness shortly after the flood Genesis chapter 9 that doesn't look good we read of Abraham's line on more than one occasion about Sarah being his wife Genesis chapter 12 and 20 how about Moses's murder of a man in Egypt and his outburst of anger and the wilderness and how he misrepresented God and his result wasn't allowed to enter into the promised land question for you who wrote the books of Exodus and numbers where these details are laid out for us Moses he tells us about his failures and sins in his own writings these sound like the words of someone who was committed to communicating the truth we read of the nation of Israel rejecting God on numerous occasions to worship false gods what nation did God use to write down the scriptures Israel the Jews is this the kind of thing they would make up about themselves how unfaithful they were to the God who lovingly rescued them from their slavery in Egypt I don't think so we read of David's adultery with Bathsheba and subsequent murder of her husband Jariah the coming Messiah was going to be a descendant of David if you were inventing Christianity would you invent these kinds of details for David's life how about that time Jesus called Peter Satan if I was in on the committee that was inventing Christianity if that was the case and I was Peter I'd say take that out that looks awful reword that and yet a short time later we also read of Peter denying that he even knew who Jesus was after promising he would never do such a thing in Matthew chapter 26 then a short time after that we read of the disciples prideful arguments over which one of them was the greatest arguing to the point where Jesus had to get involved and rebuke them then we read a short time after that of the disciples falling asleep when Jesus asked them to stay awake and to pray for him then we read just an hour or two after that of the disciples running away to save their own necks when Jesus was arrested looking so cowardly and then you get further into the new testament we read of Paul confessing that he viewed himself as a wretched man and even considered himself to be the chief of sinners friends this is just a small sampling do these sound like the words of men who were lying I have a hard time believing that it seems to me that these men were more interested in telling the truth about things than making themselves look good so that this is a sixth line of evidence for the trustworthiness of the bible the bible's fourth rightness about failures friends you can trust the bible you can read it today with the highest degree of confidence and what a blessing it is to know god and have the bible to reveal to us who he is and what his plan is for humanity do you know the loving merciful god revealed to us in the bible you can that's why jesus god in the flesh died on that cruel roman cross because of his great love for you the bible says he died there in your place to suffer the judgment you deserve for your sins so that you could then be forgiven so that you could be rescued from spending eternity in hell and be brought back into a relationship with him of course he rose from the grave though three days later and today he offers all of mankind the forgiveness of sins peace with god and the free gift of everlasting life friends that is great news everlasting life forgiveness of sins i don't know what you normally get for christmas but this is way better way better what a gift you deserve i deserve judgment and condemnation for our rebellion and sin against our maker and god says no no no i've got something way better actually this what a gift how do you lay hold of it jesus simply said whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life that's it jesus did all the hard work he just wants you now to place your faith in him and what he did in your place on the cross and you can do that today god is a prayer away you can call it to him right now in your seat in the quietness of your heart and say god forgive me for my sins i trust in jesus christ to save me come into my life and be my lord and savior if you'll do that the bible says whoever whoever calls upon the name of

Talk about the high quality man and where we can meet this high quality person in this chaotic world We live in now we're gonna just jump right into it and Kind of let's decide what is high quality because I think there's a misconception about high quality Particularly in the red pill community and a lot of the conversation that's going on out there in the so-called dating mating or relating realm and I think oftentimes high quality is perceived as a man who is Physically fit and can pay his bills. In fact, he has lots of money to pay his bills and he can get any man He wants that's what seems to be considered the high quality person today I'm gonna have a different approach I'm gonna look at it from a different angle and we're gonna view high quality more to do with here Then the outside world So I think the first thing that we have to identify that a high quality person and let me Rewind for a second I don't like the term high quality. I don't like pigeon-holing one person different than another Okay, so why not shift this into maybe the ideal guy has blank Okay, the ideal guy has blank Can everyone say that with me my ideal guy has blank and I'm gonna talk about what this blank is And if you agree with any of the blanks, give me a thumbs up and give me an amen as well So the first blank if you will fill in the blank Is that they have their act together? They have their act together both in their outside world and their Inside world. I'm gonna repeat that in their outside world and their inside world now. I wrote notes So let me do a little cheat sheet here. They pay their bills They pay their bills in the outside world. They're responsible and they have their professional act together It's not in a sense of chaos See what I've observed is a lot of women are in the dating marketplace and They're meeting meeting men who are maybe struggling financially And we have a lot of people who are have gone through a lot of chaos and terminal particularly after COVID And there's no disrespect for those that have experienced that and yet some people seem to attract In their life chaos when it comes to their professional life or their financial life So first I would say a person I would like to think that the person you're seeking is blank Has their act together has their act together from the outside world? Okay from the outside world they live in up they can pay their bills. They live in a place which is decent They're not a hoarder That's a judgment on my part But the list can go on and on in their professional life isn't in chaos. Okay now within the outside There's the inside world. They and here's what I want to share with you on this particular one because when we are truly introspective people We know that we have Insecurities and fears and we a person that has their act together when it comes to their insecurities and fears They don't need you to medicate those insecurities and fears now I'm talking to those of you that are in Relationship where someone where you spend most of your time on the text messages you spend most of your time on text messaging one another Okay, or on the telephone and what I've observed particularly in the divorce demographic We see a significant percentage of people Who are using online dating as a form of therapy as a form of therapy? What I mean is they use online dating as a way to connect with people and Since they can't physically meet in a fairly quickly time because they're doing this long-distance kind of dynamic That they get chatty with each other. They're chatty with each other They're chatty with each other and they're all there and what happens is they start to talk about their past experiences From this venting point of view from this complaining point of view and what happens is many people are Experiencing the therapy Because they're seeking this other person to medicate their Insecurities has anyone experienced that if you have please hit that like button say yes I've experienced a man or woman who has sought me out as a therapist See when a person has their act together. They don't need you to be their therapist to feel good about themselves Okay, the next one They're in good physical health. I put this in a separate category. They're in good physical health See, I think physical health is critically important for the maintaining of a long-term relationship And I think those that value physical health As a priority in their life. They do regular doctor visits. Maybe they exercise a few times a week I know I walk on average of four miles a day and I ride my bike about 10 miles a couple times a week just to do a few things and Stretching that sort of thing take my medication on time You know for those of us that have to take medication. That's honoring your health and that means you're gonna honor a relationship So when I said you're where to meet a man with blank. I think whether it's a man or woman. They value their health demonstrates that they actually care about themselves and actually care about being in a significant relationship Now the next one is the one of the most obvious ones I've heard this from you ladies Habitually that you want a man whose actions matches his words his actions matches his words How many of you raised your hand if you've been with a man? Or hit that like button to let me know if you've been with a man whose actions didn't match his words Consistently look I am guilty of saying something and doing another I am not Here to espouse that I am a perfectly perfect human being who's in absolute integrity 24-7 and yet I do my best to operate from a place if I'm gonna say something. I'm going to do it Have you experienced a man whose actions didn't match his words? I think we all want a human being whose actions matches their words I think sadly in the dating marketplace whether you're a man or woman. We see habitual inconsistent in inconsiderate behavior I'll tell you a story really quickly. I'm going off the reservation for a second I once dated a woman or not day. Well, I'm gonna talk about head I'd first date with a woman. We had a really nice time We had planned the second day and we happen to live an hour from each other. We decided we're gonna meet halfway Supposed to meet at seven o'clock at night. I texted her earlier in the day. Hey, let's figure it Let's jump on a phone call to coordinate Text her a couple three hours in advance didn't hear from her text or two hours advanced didn't hear from her text or an hour in advance Didn't hear from her called her and I kept texting and I'm like, you know I'm like this person seemed like they weren't a goaster and It turns out she calls me an hour and a half after we were supposed to meet and She said my girlfriend was having a crisis. I'm like, okay. Your girlfriend had a crisis I bet anything if I was her boss. I was her mother. I was somebody important in her life She would have sent a simple text message saying, hey, uh, something's come up. I need to cancel Folks the day my son passed away.  There's a picture of connor right there On the little woody outfit On the day he passed away. I was supposed to have a date that night And I texted her hours ahead of time saying I've had a personal emergency. I had to cancel I lost a child And I could text someone to cancel a date for this person not to do that Their actions aren't going to match their words. There's a level of courtesy. There's a level of kindness. There's a level of consideration That I think we see a habitual problem in the dating marketplace today because if it was her boss I guarantee you if she had a meeting with her boss She would have kept the meeting and she would have told her girlfriend. Hey, I'll catch up with you later Do you know what? Consideration is the hallmark of actions matching someone's words at least in my opinion anyway Number three or number not number three. There's no number order here I think a person the person i'm looking for as blanks. They're they're clearly They are clear about seeking partnership and they show up as a partner That's right. They're clear that they want partnership and they show up as a partner Give me a thumbs up hit that like button if you've ever experienced a man who did not show up that way I've I've had that happen with women They didn't show up that way. They showed up very self-centric caring about their own needs Just like this woman. She cared about her own needs. She didn't care about my needs She didn't care my need for punctuality. She didn't care for my need of reciprocity She didn't care about my need for kindness all she cared about was her needs now again I understand a friend is in crisis But you know what common courtesy Is a hallmark of partnership And so to show up as a partner to someone you have to demonstrate it from your very first actions In the dating marketplace is this sinking in is this resonating?

It's not about being right It's about being happy and yet the same Time it's important to have boundaries. I'm not here to suggest being agreeable and being a doormat I'm here to say have your standards and boundaries, but agreeable people are more fun to be with I've had friends I've had friends who are a pain in the ass They're difficult to plan things with they always want something different and there's no disrespect I can understand that but when it's habitual when somebody's habitually problematic It becomes a drain to be with those people agreeable personalities I think particularly ladies you want to be with a man who has an agreeable fun loving nature I think that certainly fits into this high quality narrative And to piggyback on agreeable personality a sense of humor You know what?  Please say yes. I've gone out with a dud I think people with a sense of humor Um, you know, they they look at life with a bit of levity. They look at life with a bit of Curiosity I like I think going to a comedy club is a great way to have a first date and then talking about it afterwards Just something to consider anyway or a second or third date. Excuse me Oh now here's a critically important one for all of you that are seeking a significant relationship Let me put up my notes right here for everyone just so you can see it But I want to read this this is so critically important If it is please let me know jonathan. This is a must-have. This is a deal breaker if I don't have this They are they are very clear about their feelings and commitment towards You they're very clear about their feelings and commitment towards you Towards their partner You know, I think one of the challenges these days is a lack of clarity A lack of intentionality a lack of of really being mindful That there's another human being that might get attached to you and while you can say, you know, I knew this one guy He always said well, I told them I wasn't looking for anything serious Yeah, but you were having sex with them and you were complimenting them all the time You know having sex with someone and complimenting them all the time Leads that a person down a path of believing that you want something more and I know you've Set up the escape clause right from the beginning But I think it's critically important not to just express your physical attraction to a person but really Express your feelings of how you feel with this person beyond the surface of penis inside the vagina And complimenting a person is certainly a very kind thing to do But the end of the day truly expressing how you feel about this person How they make you how you feel when you're with them and being clear on your intentions for commitment Demonstrates I think it demonstrates Again, we're calling this high quality That demonstrates a person that's I think a little bit above the cut of everyone else. Is this sinking in? I hope so They don't have a past that will cause contention in any future relationship bump bump bump folks For those of us in the divorce demographic I would venture to say well over 50 percent have a contentious relationship with the next whether you're a man or you're a woman You have a contentious relationship with the next and that bleeds into the dating marketplace I can tell you if that hasn't healed if their past Relationships haven't healed whether it's a former boyfriend and girlfriend or a former spouse Whatever order they came into your life if those people are active in your life and it creates a contention Then it's going to be very problematic to actually want to To be able to really open up with a person But more important for them to open up with you Does that make sense? And this is kind of last on my list They have strong emotional IQ They have a strong emotional IQ They know how to regulate their feelings because they've addressed their childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas And they know how to regulate their emotions. I've talked about this book a million times I recommend everyone. There's a link below to get a copy of all the books. I recommend I recommend getting the book The Hoffman process the Hoffman process This is a deep dive into healing childhood wounds and traumas I'm going to read you a forward the program or not a forward but a testimony the program in this book Is the finest and most complete expression of what healing and spirituality are all about it was only It was the only book available on Psycho spiritual transformation. It would be enough. I consider it essential for anyone on a healing path The work Hoffman process the world famous technique that empowers you to forgive your past heal your present and transform your future Folks high emotional IQ starts with coming from from healing the past And not allowing that bleed into your life. I will tell you most people's negative patterns and limiting beliefs in their life is is stems from A wound in their childhood that has gone unresolved So I've just identified what a high quality guy is right Well, the but the title of this video is where where can a woman meet a high quality man? I can tell you most relationships fail because they're missing many of the things listed on this high quality list So I'm here to invite a different narrative today I'm here to invite a different narrative when it comes to where to meet a high quality man I want you to stop saying where can I meet a high quality man? And I want you to say how can I be in front of a high quality man? How can I be in front of a high quality man? See not you looking for them. I want you to figure out. How can you be in front of them? So I'm going to share something from my own playbook. This is brand new for everyone So most of you know and if you don't already know my significant relationship has ended by the time of recording this it's been about a month and a half And well, we're in this transmuting of this relationship, which is most likely going to lead to some level of friendliness to one another We're not going to be in the same geography So we're going to be friendly to one another I'll probably put myself out in the dating marketplace in the next Month and a half two months three months. In other words, give myself three or four months after the ending of the relationship Okay, why am I sharing this? because I've come to conclude That the swipe form of meeting people Has marginalized human beings when you swipe someone over and over and over again It creates an emotional disdain for another human being because of the judgments many people have myself included when we swipe So I was asking myself How can I be in front of the type of woman? I want to meet I work from home So I don't have a physical outlet to connect with people in my professional capacity Many people do and that's one blessing So just like what I've shared with many of you. It's raining great men. It's raining great men. It's raining great men to me It's raining great women.  I am I want to actually I am praying to meet someone organically It's organically. I think what's happened today is we've become so dependent on online dating And I'm still here to advocate online dating as a way to meet.  Oh, I don't know the word my experience in the next few months Of how I'm going to be physically in front Because it's not about where to how to or where can I meet them? It's how can I meet them? Because the where everybody there's great men and great women everywhere. The problem is they're just like you They're stuck in their homes and many of people become so dependent upon online dating in this bastardized form And again, still spoken of will that people are going to be, you know, 50% of all new relatives You know 50% of all new relationships are going to happen through an online connection I'm here to encourage a more organic way and I'm inviting everyone to find ways to be in front of First show up as a high quality person Start doing what brings you joy and maybe just maybe you might meet someone in an organic fashion That will actually be aligned to who you are and what you want Is this resonating with you if it is please hit that like button Please share this video Please subscribe to my channel and check out all the links below And if you haven't got my book what the heck a self-love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work I highly recommend getting the book and again Check out all the links below All right, time for q&a if you have a question for me Write the word question and then post the question there after or you can purchase a super sticker super chat All the money's from the super sticker super chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son connor asley Again, that's a picture of him in the woody outfit right there It's my son who passed away over five years ago And his honor I donate to causes like the hoffman process insight institute and seeds of love and sadly yesterday I learned of another person who lost a child on the very same day connor passed away july 3rd Her son just passed away of two in 2023 mine was 2018 We share this horrific thing of a child lost on the very same day and my heart goes out to her All right If you have a question write the word question and post the question there after or if you want to be on the hot seat Check out the link right there in the chat box Um and join us on the hot seat. By the way, our goal tonight is to collect 50 dollars 50 dollars for the connor asley scholarship fund All right, let's see what kind of questions we have here Um pump pump pump pump pump. I thought I saw something pump pump pump I saw a question here. We go from one to a while back What if they talk to you for two days then go silent then they won't Then they won't come back. Do I have a right to feel ticked off? We are trying to get to know each other before we meet Well, first off, you have a right to do anything The question is does it benefit you to get ticked off? How does it so answer me this what benefit do you have getting ticked off? How does that benefit you? Answer me that question and then I think you'll have the answer to your question What benefit do you have of getting ticked off? Doesn't affect him. He's already moved on Just causing you suffering being ticked off. You have a right to do it But I think it's a waste of energy anyway. All right. That's my two cents on that one Question I've been initiating with a man I like it's it is game playing to step back and see if he steps up and is it game playing? Yes, it is it is game playing.   Do you like me?  You like me.   Have conversations That's my wish for everyone. Anyway ts is in the house I express local wait, I expressed local bf five months wanted to know how he feels about me curious Why we haven't slept in sex for three weeks. He got defensive and didn't want to talk about and walked away What should I do? No, I'm sorry that that happened That certainly kind of must be aggravating Something must be going on with him the fact that he got defensive and didn't want to talk about and walked away I would simply say whatever his name is tim john fred, you know Ricky It seemed the other day. I brought something up that brought you some pause And now I feel a disconnect between the two of us Is it okay if we talk about what's going on Because I value our relationship and my belief is you value our relationship And I think it would be best for us to have a conversation about it Just simply say I need to know how we're doing so I can feel safe in this relationship Um, I I think something verbatim something along that lines might give you a chance to open up And if he gets defensive is this the person you want to be with I think people that Listen It's natural to get defensive But if you're in a constant state of defense Then how can you ever be in a state of offense where you really want to connect with one another? At least that's my impression on that one Thank you for the question sherry's in the house What's your opinion on when a man says most men just want to be saved? And doesn't respond when you ask what they mean by this Most men want to be saved And he doesn't want to answer the question. That's really kind of childish You know throwing something out there. Just say I'm really curious. I'm very curious What do you mean by a man being saved? He says and he says and he doesn't respond.   If you don't respect me enough to answer a simple question What does that say about how you feel about me? Ask him that question and see what happens and if he doesn't respond take a break from him He doesn't deserve your time at least at this moment and maybe when he's ready to talk have a serious conversation. Okay, sherry Sending you a hug. Hey, let's give rosa props five dollars super sticker. We need 45 dollars wait 45 dollars more Jonathan you're correct online dating is corrupt. It sets the scenario for men and women to be inauthentic My last two bad dates. They were via facebook date um To the extent that it is corrupt. I do believe it marginalizes people the swipe formats and i'm i'm still a fan Of match.com and some of the other website oriented sites, so I don't want to discount them completely But I will say uh, yes, I do agree. Thank you for the five dollar super sticker. We really appreciate it Joan jane says janey Where can we find singles in houston?

For my day cms a canadian physician and author He has a background in family practice and a special interest in childhood development trauma and potential lifelong impacts on physical and mental health Including autoimmune disease Okay, so I guess gaber mate mate is a therapist. Uh, there isn't a question there, but um Thank you for letting me uh ask google because I had no idea what you were talking about And I want to just give props to sherry for a super sticker. Thank you so much Lisa's in the house Do you think it's a bad idea to date if you're having financial problems? You know men Women tend to be more concerned about a man who has spent financial problems men not as much. However Given that especially for the divorce demographic, um Given that you know, the average divorce man, uh, pay some alimony child support that sort of things I do believe two incomes is better than one So, uh, it could be possibly problematic But men tend to not be as concerned about it versus the other way around so, um It's you know, I guess ask yourself. What do you bring to the table? Okay, if it's not not that you you know, I think it's important that you pay your own bills because You know, if you're bringing a problematic financial life It's going to bleed into with someone else and they may not want to take on that responsibility So at least take care of paying all your own bills. I think that's a critically important thing but at the same time I would be up front with someone about it and the right person isn't going to be as affected by it Versus someone who where two incomes is better than one. Okay, so just something to ponder there Hey, someone just wants to let me know. I will go dance this weekend. Thanks for the advice. You're very welcome Donna has a question. I love dance. Let's go. I love california wears marie Missing her if you're not aware donna we did split up. I don't like saying that we ended We transmuted our relationship from a romantic living together dynamic Into she's moving from california to florida And then we're just going to transition to some sort of friendly relationship after that Um, she might jump on a video every now and again in the future we'll see Let's keep going. Jill wants to let me know. Dr. Gabor maté. So thank you Ah, let's keep going I'm sorry veronica. I didn't see your follow-up to your question. Uh, give me your follow-up. I forgot what the Uh, what the beginning was that oh Question is if they were widowed, how do we find out about the deceased and their relationship? Well, I guess there's an obituary someone out there. So that might be one way um That might be one way. Um, and you can ask them about it. You know, I mean usually people Tell me what happened or would you be open? Excuse me? Would you be open to sharing what happened? um, that might be Wait, if they are widowed, how do we find out about the deceased and their relationship? I just think you know what people are usually pretty transparent and you can ask them about it So that's what I would do All right Deb wants to know why did we split up? So I shared this in a previous video and without going into too many of the details During our relationship a lot of emotional stuff got stirred up for marie that relates to her childhood And her adult experiences. I think when you date a therapist type It's kind of we we explored a lot of our stuff from our past and what she came to conclude For herself was that she wasn't happy living here in california in particular She misses being with her primas and those who are uh of latina descent knows what that means um, not descent, but um Those who are spanish descent. I should say um and more importantly She realized that she couldn't fully give to the relationship as she had hoped she could give um because our childhood wounds and traumas can affect us deeply Into our capacity to fully give in a relationship. What did I say about that earlier? I think it's critically important and she recognized that she still needs to do work and she wasn't um Didn't feel comfortable doing that in the container of our relationship particularly because she didn't like living here Um, that's the risk we I took, you know exploring a long-distance relationship. I knew that going in I knew this could be a problem Not the specific problem But that's one of the challenges when someone moves is they move outside of their social structure And in her particular case, she felt more comfortable actually moving to where Her siblings are and where her cousins are and to be closer to columbia. So that's the why I'm saddened by it. I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm saddened by it. Um You know There was a lot of things that were missing but I was like You know, I recognized that a relationship is also a give and take so I was open to accepting that But the same time there were things missing for me that I wished were more Prevalent in the relationship and I think some things were missing for her I think most importantly, I thought to myself, you know as sad as I was when I ended my little kid is bummed out At the end of the day, it was such a beautiful experience. I am grateful for every moment. Marie is a terrific person Just like margaret said And I just wish her nothing but the best, you know, we have a little bit We had a little bit of contention, you know after the fact I think that's natural to experience that but the same time we're doing our best to Uncouple with love uncouple with love. So thank you so much for that question And by the way, Cecilia wants to remind everyone prima means female cousin. Okay Hey, who wants to join me on the hot seat right now? Click that link in the chat box Oh Oh I just want to know where did we met? Well, we actually met on two dating sites. It was first match.com match.com She thinks it's millionaire match, but I think it was match.com But we met through those two sites and then we became facebook friends and connected with each other for about a year Before we actually physically met Given that there was a 1700 mile distance But we only spoke to each other about eight or nine times during not even that I would say about six or eight times during the course of one year I don't believe in incessant communication with a long distance person Hey, you speak if you happen to be in each other's neighborhoods, then you can meet All right, let's keep going here Julia's in the house. There you go. Thanks again for the super sticker. By the way, we're trying to get to $100 tonight We're already $50 there. We're halfway there question When he stressed out he stopped speaking to me for days and says it has nothing to do with me He just needs some time. We've been in a relationship for a year and a half now Now there's not a question there, but I will say this my mother used to do the same thing when she was stressed out She would do something called stonewalling. It's a very common thing for a person to do If now stonewalling is avoiding the relationship Okay, if they're avoiding the relationship that could be something problematic if he's stressed out He needs time to recharge his batteries Even dr. John gray talks about this men's testosterone levels drop And they need to go into their man cave to recharge their batteries, but if he's avoiding the relationship That could be more problematic. I didn't know what your question was so I kind of assumed that possibly that was the direction You're gonna have but um, let me know what it was patty I've joined local singles groups and meeting divorced men not open to marriage. How do I bring it up? What does commitment mean to you conversations without scaring them away? I think a significant percentage of men are reluctant to get divorced And guess what if you want to get remarried then the penis doesn't get to go inside the vagina until they have a change of heart Okay um You know, this is tricky This is really tricky because I know for a fact now I want to get remarried. I want to be married if if it doesn't have to be a Ceremony with the government it could be a spiritual ceremony But I wanted to clear in front of family and friends that make it make a vow to another person Make a declaration to another person that doesn't have to be a legal marriage with the government But I certainly want to do a spiritual marriage With that said and by the way why I'm saying that is I don't I understand why a lot of people are reluctant You know having a relationship with the government isn't the same as having a relationship with you But I would have a conversation About what it means to be in partnership with one another and what does that look like for you? Because I I know I want to live with someone at a minimum and I just did that But I I think it's important to have conversation is what do you want out of a relationship? If you want to just spend time Then and you want marriage then that probably isn't the right person for you I would say I would want to talk to only people who say they want a serious relationship Or they want marriage or some again. What does serious mean to them? That would be a good way to look at it Kim suggests I take ballroom dance lessons. It opens the door to a whole new life socially. You'll never get bored You know, I'm not I'm okay.  I just happen to be Uh, you know, I feel younger than that. So that's just my opinion. Maybe salsa dancing I need to learn salsa. Everybody seems to be salsa dancing. So that's what I'd like to learn Flaxy 50 is in the house. Do you have um, let's see what she has to say Can you put your camera on?  I want to raise it to a hundred dollars tonight Margaret just gave us a $7.99 super sticker I think we're 30 $40 away from hitting our mark Should I tell him this if it's hurtful? That was Julie's um Wait, what do you want? Oh, what are you trying to tell him? Let's see if you did more, uh Well, it listen if you feel hurt by the disconnect. I think it's really important that In relationship, I have a need for reciprocity. I have a need for connection When you go silent It makes me to begin to mistrust the sincerity of our relationship. I have a need for connection I have a need for reciprocity So, um, I would just bring that up And see how he responds again How a person responds matters more than what do they respond? Okay, so good luck with that Julie Karen asked me will you and Marie be talking or do you believe that it's best to cut ties completely? Um Listen, we're parting in a very amicable way Uh neither I have no intent of relying on her for emotional support.  I I don't expect excessive communication with one another But I think we can be friendly to warrant no words one another. I'm sure we'll see each other on facebook But um, I don't believe in cutting ties. I mean, I'm grateful for the relationship I have with my ex-wife and I'm grateful for my relationship with my last significant relationship where she's practically a big sister to me We're family so to Marie to me has transitioned to family She's now a cousin of mine in that emotional sense. Okay, that's the way I treat it. So Um, I hope that helps Karen Okay Cecilia says How do you quickly assess when what went wrong in a relationship to know when the glass ceiling has been removed and both you can Go at it again. If so How do you quickly assess what went wrong? Gosh, you know what I do better with specifics. I don't I it's too generalized. I'm sorry. That's a too generalized of a question I don't know how to respond to that Lee amazing says exactly if it's not marriage. Why date? Yeah, I'm kind of in the same I'm in agreement on that one A lot of people are giving me advice sherry wants to let me know kim ballroom dancing Latin any type of dancing is great. There's a dance studio nearby where I live. Yeah, there's a couple right around the corner from me too All right Please says to me Jonathan, please don't settle go all out after all self-love healing and spiritual work. You deserve it You know I'll be candid with you all I think for the longest time I've been trying too hard I've been trying too hard to meet someone I'm trying too hard to have a life partner and there's a real delicate balance between making efforts And trying too hard and I'm guilty I am genuinely guilty of trying too hard I think there's been a part of me that I am guilty of what? I am guilty of what I accuse many of you and that is I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself Folks, I wrote a book called what the heck the self-love anyway We teach what we need to learn And I think in this experience I recognize that I don't need someone to love me So I can feel good about myself and I share with you my personal life. I share my journey um Because I get it First off, can I be honest with you? Getting okay. Marie didn't dump me, but I'm just gonna say it.   I get what this feels like What it feels like to put your whole heart into something and not work out I don't judge Marie. I this is I went in I have to take 100 percent responsibility for my part in this I take 100 percent responsibility And if it wasn't so personal I would share some more details.  This is why you know margaret says Go out latin dancing exactly you know You know go do things to be in front of people You know, i'm gonna start doing more personal development workshops You know, I did tony robbins event and not that you not that you're in you know mingling with a lot of people But get a group together and go do these events There's right here in redondo beach. I'm doing a i'm going to a meditation Healing ceremony tomorrow. It's you know, I'm doing things to be in front of people not from a perspective of dating Just from a perspective of the more people you interact with the greater chance you have success Anyway, i'm i'm just babbling right now Oh, someone wants to say where's the hot seat if you want to join the hot seat. I just put the link up all right Adrienne says zumba classes. By the way, I've got two left feet you guys. I actually like freestyle dancing I just have a hard time with a with a controlled step I'm embarrassed Lee amazing says it does suck. We appreciate you being so transparent. Thank you so much True morris says I am the star in my own movie pick me up. I choose myself. I'm very happy about that way to go All right, sherry wants to say true morris. We love it All right, who wants to join me on the hot seat?   My heart is my heart is still beating. Okay. I just checked It was 129 over 86 earlier. Okay. My heart was still beating. It didn't get broken My ego might be a little bit bruised. My ego might be a little bit bruised but what occurs to me is What what's broken is the is the death of the dream Is the dream the fantasy we have And when you lose a child you recognize that Ending can happen just like that I was watching a movie on netflix. I think it's called love again. It's with uh, I can't pronounce her first name. It's the chopra uh actress that's married to the Jonas brother or whatever those one of those guys and um She um, she's in love with someone dating for two years and he was killed in a car accident You know just like that everything changed See She felt heartbroken. There's no doubt about it. She had very strong attachment to lose someone that way is tough When we lose someone to the ending of a relationship I you know oftentimes people treat it like a car crash, but it wasn't a car crash It was just a misalignment for two people And I think when we can step in and accept that it's simply a misalignment We can then open ourselves up For a possible new relationship in the future And that's at least how i'm getting through it. Thank you for allowing me to share there again All right, let's keep going Margaret says you can learn to dance it takes a lot of effort, but it's worth it. I'm with you One of our facebook members says where are a lot of men at I put myself in front of them. So like again You have to figure that out for yourself. You have to go and say where are the where okay What do I love to do? And are men doing what I love to do if the answer is no then go Fine play by the way. Oh, let me stop for a second. I forgot to mention this I just saw a photograph of a healing circle here in redondo beach. Do you know it was a photograph of like 30 people 16 of them were guys Out of 30 people. I just did a workshop last weekend. It was 12 people Seven of them were guys and five of them were women men are doing shit You just have to put yourself out there Okay, they mean and I got to tell you when it comes to personal development self-help and spiritual work There are a lot of men putting themselves out there. So that's where you have to go find out workshops spiritual healings meditations in your neighborhood and go to those places Star shine says I'm heartbroken. He ignores my messages. He knows I still miss him. Okay, well Why does he why does it matter that he knows you still miss him?  He's 10 years younger than her. Love that. I didn't know that age difference I think she's dry. I think she is gorgeous Um Jennifer says there are many single men at restaurants bars golf clubs and charity events. There you go See, we just already listing all the list all the places where you have met single eligible men High-end restaurants. That's a place to go high-end hotels. Now. You got a lot of travelers there But those are just some of the places to go Uh leafs wants to let starshine know have you let him miss you too? No contact really works either way you win Here's the problem with no contact if he reaches out Because he is he is you fill a void in his life Or is he coming back because he genuinely appreciates you just remember it's only worth it if you genuinely appreciate each other Jane wants to remind us all of meetup groups highly recommend that for people Yeah, I just I I now signed up for meetup and i'm doing i'm finding a lot of events Literally miles from where I live I'd rather walk if I could but a couple miles is plenty enough too Mental health institute says hey amazing content. Thank you so much. I appreciate that um, let's go here I live in a small town.  I was amazed by the way you approach the new dating world Oh, I'm going to be doing a whole thing on reality shows coming up soon.  Oh my gosh It's going to be really exciting Where is my link? Um So folks who's watching the golden bachelor? Now I have hulu so i'm going to miss it by one day if they show it on hulu But i'm going to start reporting on this one. I am excited about the golden bachelor. I can't wait Oh, by the way, someone did mention pickleball is a great way to meet people But okay coming back to the golden bachelor So I guess it's one guy pretty good-looking guy for 70 um 30 women I think I've narrowed it down to the four. I think he's going to pick but that's all based on looks So we'll see if that's even going to hold up And I think this is going to change relationships like you can't believe here's my prediction See, I think the fastest demographic of singles is 50 and 60 year olds the fastest growing demographic of singles And I think you can be 60 65 years old and still get another 20 years out of life. Okay um Veronica says the one is going to win is the one with the best facelift. Oh my god, Veronica. That is funny Uh starshine says I'll be watching Oh god Okay, so the fastest the largest growing demographic of singles are between 50 and 60 years old I think we're in our prime time to really show up. Okay, so here's my rule of thumb Here's my four relationship rules. Okay Not rules, but first be your best self both physically and emotionally heal your childhood wounds Hero your traumas number two be clear on the type of relationship and learn how to vet This is where my job comes in check out the link to a discovery call to see if working with the coach is right for you Then you have to learn how to be in front of and more importantly learn how to flirt and attract you got a ladies You got to learn how to flirt The woman who gets my attention she's gonna be flirting with me the women who don't flirt with me It's ain't gonna be fun Because I like to be invited in I like the hand key to be dropped But I like someone who knows how to banter And last but not least you have to be with someone who knows how to maintain a healthy happy relationship Let me repeat that being your best self showing up as your best self clarity on the type of relationship you want Learn how to be in front of and attract and flirt with the right guy and lastly learn how to maintain a healthy relationship Including good conflict resolution skills Lisa My question jonathan. I didn't see a question. Let's see Uh post your question again. Lisa. I didn't see it might be the last question I take for the night. Oh, here we go All right I broke it off with the friends with benefits recently and he still wants to be friends and my client and my client for higher-styling skincare He was a situation ship before being my client. Should I continue doing his services?  Probably is going to be problematic Usually the one person who what that one of you wanted something more and I suspect it was you lisa So if you can handle it then do what feels right for you. You don't need me to tell you that one Uh starshine says I heard depot and lo is a good place to meet guys. Yeah, maybe Construction sites might be a good place to meet guys All right Let's see Kim says she's going to be totally watching of what about the golden bachelorette They have to find 22 eligible guys over 60 who wants to be on the show I wonder if i'll be contacted for the show Well, I hope to be taken by the time the golden bachelorette shows up I hope to be taken by then and quite frankly It would probably be a conflict of interest given what I do for a living I don't think I could be on the show given i'm a dating a relationship coach But it would be kind of Uh, I don't think I could be I don't think I'm listen. I'm kind of boring Believe it or not. I'm kind of boring. So I don't think I could be the golden bachelor I I don't I mean it's as suave as you guys think I am. I'm actually kind of a I'm kind of an introvert when it comes to certain things. So Uh, oh within our community. I guess I'm your golden bachelor Who are the bachelorettes in our group raise your hand? Uh But I wonder who will be the golden bachelorette. It's usually down to the last four whoever's in the last four becomes the golden bachelorette um So anyway, hey look at them folks. We've been going at it for an hour. I am so grateful for all your love and support Did you find did okay if you have something to share about this video? Please post a comment below.

Let's face it. We could all use more love in our lives I want to thank melanie and jennifer and star sign and sherry and nadie uh and lee amazing and uh nyc and kim and veronica and lisa Everyone big hugs to you all. Thank you so much wishing you a fab evening and ronda. I'm saying good night already Thanks so much for wanting to be on big hugs to you All right, folks have a fab night uh tomorrow. Oh tomorrow I'll be on at 11 30 with uh my coach and we're going to be talking about finding love versus attracting love Okay. All right. Have a great evening. Bye now. Bye


Here we go, let's crack this thing open. Oh, it hurts, it hurts. Let's see if we can actually pull a foil here. Rabbit Horseman, here we go. Steel Scorpion, second pack for Gabriel. Paralyzing Potion, so far he's done pretty good. Oh, we got a Ruxen Special with the insect soldiers of the sky, very nice right there. So far, there's some average comments here. Share the pain, always a classic. The Block Attack, that's definitely a classic. The Dream Clown, this is the Clown of Dreams Musician King, pretty cool one. And when we get a foil. First foil of the box. Ultra Rare Mirror Force, that is beautiful.


So since you have ignored the energy loss points of the pipe and these two points can be, since I can apply it at any two points I can say that constant throughout the pipe number those kind of names. Very good at me. Normal names. Okay. Press kinetic energy per unit volume. Similarly, you don't give it potential energy that it means that rho g h at that point is that. Fine. So this one new kind of energy is does some work. So you're telling us two pointers on problem solving. How many equations you have even if you add plus rho g h y is constant. So you are going to use only these two equations. Nothing else. So what you should do, you should not think on which equation to use. Oh, very complicated. You don't have any, you should know between which two points are applying these equations. All right. And most of the time you are just playing around with these two equations only. You don't need to worry. And the numericals will be straight forward. If you understand these few things with respect to problem solving, you're going to get in this topic. And why only couple of things I have talked about in problem solving is to talk about. And just these couple of things that you need to take care of. Okay. Now I just ask you a question. Tell me. The water flow is more or less than the pressure on the tank. You have to use only c comes out. Correct. So you should be knowing exactly which two points you're talking about. So just choosing to print to do. So let us take few numericals now. I'm interested in finding velocity V2. This I have shown the cross section like this. And then show it to me. Don't solve it right.  But you cannot just A into per second. So don't get confused. Volumetric. That's what I said. Q is water saturation. It is a law. You can use it anyway. What's without? Dejan which has an edge in it. What is the point of your school textbook? When board paper is sent, nobody cares about who has taught you what. you want. In both examples, some extra person will send the paper, only this much. For a pipe of this thickness, this is the actual thickness of the pipe. If your pipe has this much thickness, something of this size only, the pipe can go on and on. So, inside the pipe itself, it encounters the venturi meter. So, your pipe is there. In between the pipe, there is a venturi meter. This procession area, procession area of both sides of the venturi meter will be same. And since you have related venturi meter, u and diameter of venturi meter. So, these things are known to you. Capital A is known to you and small a is a procession area of the neck. That is also known to you. It is a venturi meter. Stop talking. Stop talking. It is useful.  In terms of p1, p2, right? So, please find out what the value is. So, p1 plus stop talking. I will just pick something that someone will get. See, I can u and h to both are 0. So, rho g h will not appear itself. So, p1 plus half rho v1 square is equal to p2. Which should be more than, this is more than that and some of this and that is constant is, let's, if we are not getting h more than p2, since this is greater than that. So, we have seen that in velocity. So, pressure energy will decrease. Some of the next to the moving train is like pk. What? Some similar incidents? Something similar? What are you talking about? To p1, okay? So, if you get close to it, you don't get 0. Take minus 1. Be careful. How you, see here density is known. Capital A is known. Small a is known. But p1 and p2 and that is using, since p1 is more than p, from this side more. Yes or no? Okay. Now, you are using water in the pipe. So, you should better use a heavier fluid inside the manometer and that is mercury. Okay. So, let's say this is mercury density. All right. And let's say the height difference is bench because density is very less. So, similar kind of pressure. So, pressure over here. I can say it is p1 and pressure over here. The pressure here will be more. You forgot is that law itself. You are telling me minus. So, p1 minus, you have a scale over here. So, now I can substitute the values what I can measure. So, the answer to it is 0 and gh. So, 2 times minus 1. This is velocity. Fine. That is the water. So, flow rate is how much? This into? Which way? So, capital Q is this flow rate. This much volume of water is flowing per second in the pipe. The entire manometer.


It's DDK, and I'm back. If you are subscribed, subscribe and give me a thumbs up. And do not miss 20th. And it's time for us to get to this bag. In this video, have you guys ever wondered how long does it really take to do an order? In today's video, we're gonna show you exactly how long it takes. We have the order right here, bop. And it's Mickey D's, baby. Five items, 1.1 miles for 875. You're gonna find out how long it takes us to do this in real time. We just got the order. We're about to go to make dollars right now. So, look, stay through to the full video. And if you are subscribed, subscribe button, give me a thumbs up. And do not skip those ads. Follow the pros of McDonald's right now and get to this bag. Let's go. So, I'm gonna put you guys on the GoPro. The McDonald's is actually out there for us. So, we're gonna drive down the street, baby. We're moving our feet. We're driving down the street, baby. Y'all see, it is now 6.13 in the morning. And they got $2.50 in pink pay, so we can get this cake, baby. In last video, y'all stopped me to get some free Amazon Flex, Flex, Flex money, baby. But let's go ahead and get this money. And we gotta pick up this Mickey D's, baby. I think they're gonna probably make us go through the drive-thru because I don't got my seatbelt on. That's probably why. That's probably why. We pulling up, baby. We pulling up to Mickey D's, baby. This joint claim ain't clutched, too. Yeah, let's see if the lobby's open. That joint look like it's open. Let's see. Okay, put the camera on, y'all, baby. This is real-time, real footage. This is like a baby lie.  I've never done a lie before. Comment below and let me know if you guys want me to try to do a lie. I don't know how to do the live and all that stuff. I have to learn it. We gotta go through the drive-thru. The dining room says 5 a.m. It's past 5 a.m. What's going on? Open this joint up. We gotta go through the drive-thru, baby. We go through the drive-thru, Ski. I said the lobby was open at 5 o'clock. Hey, play. Order is four. Hold on one more way. Well, I didn't even press hit at this door yet. The order is four. Oh, the last three are three, five, four. Yeah, I have a door-dash pickup. What are they? Three, five, four. The last three are three, five, four. Thank you. Pulling up, pulling up, stop part, ram, stale, spinning. Let's see how many minutes we are right so far. We are at two minutes and 55 seconds so far. Let me fix this joint. Put this right here.  I gotta get used to this though. I might have to do some lies, guys. Comment below and let me know if you guys want me to do some lies. I've been thinking about it. I've been thinking about it, but it's kind of hard. I don't know how to do it. And the comments from what I've been seeing while I've been watching my God, Mr. Organic and all that stuff, the comments be flying past so fast. It's like, it's critical. So comment below and let me know if you want us to go. I'm pulling up on you. We got the food ski, baby. Now we're on our way to the house. It's 1.1 miles. Maybe it's like right here. Because it was 1.1 miles, we were driving the other way. Confirm. And then it says that it's one minute away. You like that, right? This is gonna be the fastest video ever, baby. But Rich, look, this is what I'm trying to do. I'm gonna tell you guys everything when we're done. Can I tell you what I'm done? This is gonna make kinda sense. It's like a minute in July. I'm treating this as a minute in July. This is how it's gonna be. This is how it's gonna be. We got over each click in the end, baby. We're gonna do two. After we do this, we're gonna do this other one. We just got to do this, man. We only needed $8 to get our $100 to get these tatas away. Guess what? That other order came in, we gotta do it. We are now one minute away. It said one minute before. There's no way it was one minute. It's probably more like a little two, a little two minute or something. You know what I'm talking about? The dues or something. The dues or something. We have to take this over each order. Maybe I'll make another video. Maybe I'll make another video. Comment below and let me know right now. If you want me to make me another video of how long it's gonna take to do an over each order. So maybe one is how long it took me to do a McDonald's order for DoorDash and how long it took me to do an over each order. Maybe he's ordered for DoorDash. You know what I meant. We're almost here, baby. The customer requested you leave the order at their door. They added the following instructions. Leave at my door. We're in Mexico right now. It says leave at the door. See, I know we're gonna scow. Let me get this off. This is the baby line, baby. I already got it ready for him. Hit him with the phone or you already know though. I know we're gonna scow though. They got a little gate. I don't know. The dog might come hurt.  Okay. Let's go. I'll keep that gate open just in case. Just in case I got to get a little on them. You know what I'm talking about? Drop it like it's hot. Step back hit it with the phone in order. Smack! I said that wrong. I'm not gonna. I don't know. I'm not gonna knock on the door. Let's go. Oh, I guess we're not going. So guys, it took us six minutes and 23 seconds for us to get down to this order. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Make sure you lock into the next video. We're about to go do it over with each order right now. I appreciate all the love and support. Hey, smash that subscribe button. Give me a thumbs up and do not skip those ads. We're about to go back to make it easy to get to this bag. Let's go.
