I finally climbed into bed at 1.20 in the morning. It was July 15th, 2021, and my friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment of my sister's home. Earlier in the day, I prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the R River in Sinsig, Germany. It had been raining buckets that week, and authorities had issued a flood warning. Though not for where I was, still, I had placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door, and piled electronics and clothing on tables and the couch, just in case water managed to seep through before my friends left. They laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall instead of in my bedroom. When I swung my legs off the bed, I was shocked by the sensation of cold water lapping against my knees and rising fast. It has to be from a burst pipe in the bathroom, I thought. Shivering and in darkness, I grabbed my cell phone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped from the bedroom to the hallway, I saw it wasn't a burst pipe at all. Instead, water was shooting through the gaps of the garden door that leads from my living room to a set of concrete stairs up to the backyard. The water must have breached the sandbags all around me. My things began to float by, chairs, bookshelves, pieces of my drum set. I admitted. It began to panic. The R, usually such a quiet, slow-moving river, had violently burst its banks, and now I had to get out fast. Any effects of the celebratory drinks I had earlier were now gone. Fear sobered me right up. I heard the garden door starting to crack and splinter under the pressure of the flood. The sound was like nothing else, screeching, hissing, and crashing all at once. It was relentless. Then the water was now up to my waist. In bare feet and with my boxer shorts plastered to my body, I started to wade to my only escape. The door that led upstairs to the rest of the house, all around me, things were breaking. The lamps were shattering. The cupboards were being torn apart. Finally, I made it to the door. I tried to pull it open, but the force of the water wouldn't let me. I tried several times to pry it open, even just a little bit, but the rushing water slammed it shut again. I looked around, looking for anything I could use to wedge the door open. There, in the corner, was a broom, a coat rack, and a huge, heavy sword from a medieval fair. I grabbed them all and, once again, pried open the door, throwing the broom and coat rack between the door and the frame to keep the door from shutting, and using the sword to wedge it open some more. I managed to make a gap of about a foot, just wide enough to squeeze through and make it into the hallway in the pitch black. I leaped onto the stairs leading up to the rest of the house and ran to the third floor where my sister lived. I knocked on her door, calling for her, trying to see if she was okay, until I remembered that she wasn't home that night. That's when I went downstairs to the main floor and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, soaked in panting. What was once a lovely, cozy street was now a waterscape, with floating debris and trees instead of people and cars. The river had drowned the neighborhood and if I had woken up just a few minutes later, I would have drowned along with it. We'd been assured that something like this only happens once every 100 years. I hope so. More than 180 people died and parts of villages in the region were entirely washed away. November 14th, 2021 was a perfect day for skydiving. Sunny, with little wind. I was a novice solo jumper, having jumped only 14 times, not enough to be licensed. It scared me for sure, but a little fear always makes you a better risk-taker, right? That's what drew me to skydiving in the first place. I've always liked flirting with danger. I left my home in Virginia Beach, Virginia late in the morning and arrived at the hangar in Suffolk, Virginia 40 minutes later. At around 1.30pm, I joined 15 other skydivers for our first jump of the day. As the plane ascended, I went through the safety protocols with my coach. A ritual you go through for every jump, no matter how much experience you have. This includes pointing from the plane door to the drop zone, where you land 13,500 feet below so you can direct your jump. After the plane leveled off, we jumped. Me first, then my coach, free-falling at about 125 miles an hour, descending about 1,000 feet every five seconds. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at once. With the world opening up before me, coming into focus in mere seconds, even though it felt as if it were happening in slow motion. The wind at ease carried me for the free-fall, and at about 4,000 feet, I deployed my pilot chute. The small parachute used to extract the main one. After the main chute was released and inflated, I had about a minute to enjoy the peace and quiet as I floated gently toward the soft, grassy meadow. I felt invincible. We went up again, not long after our first-second jump. The mood on the plane was light, lots of joking and lots of laughing. My coach and I still made time to go through our prepping routine. Then we jumped. After 30 seconds in the air, at around 5,500 feet, we tracked away from each other because you needed lots of empty space to safely deploy your parachute. I looked at my altimeter and realized I was lower than I thought. The ground was coming up too fast. I knew I had to pull the pilot chute at roughly 4,000 feet as I'd done the last time when I was caught off-guard. As I cruised past that marker, I rushed to pull my chute without taking time to stabilize my body position. When I pulled it, instead of releasing into the airstream to inflate, the pilot chute wrapped around my right leg. The chute was pulling my right leg up as if I were a marionette, while the main parachute remained in its bag. Just get it off, I told myself calmly. I wasted about 7 seconds trying to get untangled, but was unsuccessful. With the ground rapidly getting closer below me, I prepared to crash. I didn't think it would be a catastrophic impact, maybe you'll break a leg I thought. I've always been an optimist. Then, suddenly, and thankfully, the automatic reserve parachute, a backup that releases when the main one isn't working, opened. I managed to gain some control, steering myself towards some grass, which I hoped would make first stop their landing. I had just a few seconds to feel some relief before the main parachute inexplicably released from its bag. It inflated, and the two parachutes began pulling in opposite directions, causing me to accelerate hard and fast toward the ground, not far from the drop zone. When my body smashed into the ground, I felt as if my muscles and bones were on fire. So I lay there, my face in the grass, my arms flung out to either side, and I screamed, please, somebody help. I lay with my face buried in the grass, fully conscious for about five minutes before people from the skydiving club got there. They quickly surrounded me, eager to help, but there was nothing they could do. It was too risky to move me before the paramedics arrived. So they sat there, listening to me swearing and yelling as the shock wore off and the pain really set in. When the first two paramedics arrived with an ambulance half an hour later, they tried to move me onto a board for transport. It hurt so much I screamed. Then I heard the helicopter. The air ambulance crew came equipped with painkillers, which sent me to La La Land, and I was transported to the nearest trauma center. In the end, my injuries were pretty severe. A shattered ankle, a broken shin, and a spinal injury that caused a spinal fluid leak. No one could tell me if I would walk again, but I was determined. In February 2022, just three months after the crash, I walked again for the first time. Last November, I climbed to the Mount Everest Base Camp. I lived with my husband, Tyrone, in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while they're migrating. In November 2020, the whales were around, so we took out our yellow double kayak to watch the wildlife. We paddled out the length of the pier and saw a huge number of seals and dolphins, and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. It was incredible. They breached and sprayed through their blowholes and were so graceful and majestic. Each one is huge, about 15 meters long, and sometimes they turn their side fins so it looked like they were waving at us. It was really cute. At the time, my friend Liz Cottrell was staying with us. The morning after Tyrone and I saw the whales, I asked Liz if she wanted to go out on the water to check them out. It had been such a magnificent experience, and I wanted to share it with her. No way, she said. She's scared of whales and sharks, and was terrified that kayak would overturn over in it. I told her there was nothing to worry about, promising that the craft was super stable and that we could turn back anytime. After some cajoling, I finally got her to agree to join me. We got out on the water at about 8.30 the next morning, and there were already about 15 other kayakers and paddleboarders in the bay. It was warm for November, about 18 degrees Celsius, so we wore t-shirts and leggings. For the first half hour, we didn't see anything. Then, I spotted two pairs of whales right past the pier swimming toward us. We were in awe. It's an amazing feeling to be so close to a creature that size. When whales go down after breaching, they leave what looks like an oil slick on the water. I figured if we paddled toward that spot, we'd be safe from the whales, since they'd just left. We followed them at a distance, or what I thought was a distance. I later found out that it's recommended to keep 90 meters away, or about the length of a football field. We were probably more like 18 meters away. All of a sudden, a tightly packed swarm of fish, known as a bait ball, started jumping out of the water and into our kayak.  At that moment, I knew we were too close. I was terrified. Then, I felt the kayak lift out of the water, about two meters we later learned, and tip back into the ocean. I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow, and I had no idea how deeply we sucked underwater. What I didn't realize at the time was that Liz and I were in the whale's mouth. It had engulfed my entire body, except my right arm and paddle. Liz, meanwhile, was looking up directly into the whale's jaw. It was like a big, white wall. She told me later she thought she was going to die. I was still worried about being sunk down by the vacuum, so I just kept thinking, I've got to get up. I've got to fight this. I've got to breathe. Whales have enormous mouths, but tiny throats. Anything they can't swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water about a meter apart. The entire ordeal lasted only 10 seconds, but to me felt like an eternity. Three or four people paddled over. You were in the whale's mouth, he told us. We thought you were dead. A few days later, I studied the video and saw how close I'd come to being injured or killed. I became so much more appreciative of life after that day. There's no way I'm getting that close to whales again. I'm now very aware of the power of nature and the ocean. And I believe that I would have died if it was my time to die. Lucky for me, it wasn't.


But this morning before we go into the prayer line I want to continue the topic that we've been talking and how many of you guys enjoyed last Sunday when pastor Ilya was sharing about financial breakthrough How many of you went back to the local stores and returned some money? No? No, you haven't got convicted that deep Okay, okay. I met a father once and just a few weeks ago. He said pastor. He told me said Vlad My son stumbled on your YouTube clips and he said and God touched him Well, he was watching the sermons and he came across few sermons where you I guess where you talked about returning what you stole He said he went to stores and gas stations and start returning so much stuff He's a little revival start happening in those stores because of his testimony And so he just wanted to thank me so God is on the move even within our church and outside in Jesus name Amen, we welcome those who are watching us on live stream typical services We have over a thousand to two thousand people by the end of the day rewatching our services And so we welcome you everywhere you are watching God is with you and distance is not a barrier for those who believe amen We're gonna talk about today part four about the rhythm of revival and we're gonna deal with the issue of Depression we're gonna deal with the issue of anxiety and we're gonna deal with the issue of nightmares How to receive freedom That that comes from Jesus and that also comes in our growing of Jesus the statistics says that anxiety has become the number one mental issue in North America It's estimated one-third of North American adult population experiences anxiety 41% of employees from a range of industries reported high levels of anxiety in their workplace More than half of college students sought help for their anxiety issues 65% of North Americans take prescription medication daily and 40% of them take mood altering prescriptions By the way the notes that you will see here some of them are in a smaller print here Even though I asked them to make it all in one for each quote They're also on the Bible app if you have a you version Bible app go on the bottom Says events click on the events you will find all the notes here for those of you who may not be able to see it from a distance Depression anxiety and stress has been an epidemic in our generation, especially in the United States and behind that is not just natural Stresses and the hardships behind that many times is the forces of evil if you have your Bible And if you don't you can look at the screen in Matthew chapter 11 verse 28 says the following Come to me all you who labor and who are heavy-laden and I will give you Rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly and hard and you will Find rest. I want you to see this. I will give you rest if you come If you take my yoke and learn from me, you will get your own rest means you will find rest and Yeah, my yoke is easy and my burden is light The first freedom or the first way to receive peace and to receive freedom from depression and receive freedom of anxiety and stress Is number one is deliverance Jesus said come to me Come to me speaks of when you come to Jesus in need for salvation or for deliverance Stress comes from three main reasons one demands of service Demands of service meaning when you are working so hard either for God or for your work and you start Experiencing fatigue the Bible says even Jesus after he healed somebody felt power leave him Demands of service when you serve you lose power When you when your phone serves you it loses battery when your car serves you it loses gasoline When you serve you experience fatigue. That's normal the number two reason where the stress comes from is demise of sin It's when you not only you serve But when you struggle or you indulge in sin the scripture says Samson after he sinned He woke up and the Bible says this power left him many people experience leakage of power in their life and Experience loss of peace and experience anxiety and stress is because of their sinful lifestyle sinful friends and sinful habits and sinful places they go to If they would only learn to find freedom from those places and those things They will experience peace and they will experience good night sleep as sense of life and the purpose in life demise of sin and number third the reason where the stress comes from is Satan is where Satan and demons Attack people whether it's through their sin or whether it's through Generational curses meaning it's been going on from one generation to another Where everyone has always been on pills for this particular issue where everyone's always been having nightmares in the family Well, they've always been experiencing depression and anxiety and sadness Sometimes these demons or Satan comes upon people after the funerals Because the demons they don't die demons get passed on and the places where demons get passed on the most is in the cemetery When the person dies That demon that tormented the person's life begins to go on the mother or I'm sorry I'm the daughter or the mother if the daughter died or on the son or the father That's why you find many people after they lose their loved ones cannot get over it or recover from it It's not just emotional loss.   He just brought a revival. You are tired And so God gives him, you know two things for people who are tired from the service sleep and food And just brought him food and got all into sleep and after that he became Strengthened but Elijah wasn't running because he was tired Elijah was running because of Jezebel Jezebel was a demon and that's why it caused them to panic. It was a demonic attack on his life and Eventually not Elijah, but Jehu when he threw that witch From that house and that spirit was broken even over that nation We see that things started to shift and things started to change. There are demons of heaviness demons of depression demons of phobia Demons of nightmares where the Bible says God gives us a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness heaviness is not just an emotion many times there is an evil spirit and you will feel that you will feel Something sits on you you will sometimes even walk into a service and everything is fine And just something begins to change and it's a demon that wants to torment It doesn't always mean you're possessed sometimes it just simply means that you're being oppressed by that devil But with the power of the Holy Spirit you can experience freedom sometimes right there you can literally resist that Stand against it and listen put up a fight where you say listen devil you're gonna go down You're gonna be gone. You're gonna be removed and I'm gonna come against you in Jesus name You don't have to wait for someone to pray for you when you experience an attack an anxiety attack or a depression attack Because the same power that exists within the preacher exists inside of you and somebody say amen in Catholicism they have four levels of demon possession in the Catholicism teaching and Catholicism is a lot more advanced in the issue of casting out of Demons than Protestant churches unfortunately and And they have the first level of demonic activity when the priests would console or do exorcism The first one is in human demonic activity means it's hunting It's when houses are being hunted in places are being hunted or a particular things are being hunted And so many times you will see priests actually exercising not it not a person deep from a demon But a place that's why you see in a lot of even movies is some way you who grew up more in the Catholic background you know many times you will invite the priests to come and purify the house and Partially because we even see that in the scriptures where demons can be attached to things and demons can be attached to places And so if you move into a certain place or certain house It's very important to sanctify it because the first level of demonic possession is not starts with people it starts with places Because if a demon cannot affect a person he would try to torment the person through the place. They're living in Through the car. They're driving through the toys. They're wearing or through other things the second level is torment or Sexting or we call a Christian oppression and this is the part where and I'm just gonna read you this exactly from their book It's when the individual is harassed by a demon that has targeted the person So the person is experiencing this harassment or torment The demon most likely is on the outside and it torments them and they experience that the third one is oppression Obsession, I'm sorry Obsession is when not only the demon is now tormenting them, but this person has become Obsessed as it seems like to those of us who are on the outside looking at the person become obsessed with that particular feeling Or that particular thing they cannot shake that off They cannot shake off depression. They cannot shake off anxiety. They cannot shake off intrusive thoughts They cannot shake off the nightmares It's literally like an obsession that demon has grabbed hold of them And this is the level where according to Catholics and I believe the same thing even within our Protestant faith where most of The problems happen is when people cannot shake it off and the last one is possession It's when the person Completely begins to lose most of their control over their life and that control is given or taken by demons And these cases are very rare. A lot of them are extreme cases and nevertheless They still exist, but I want to let you know and I'm not sure if we mentioned that before but it's worth reminding Even if Satan takes 99% of your will The 1% you have is more powerful than the 99% You don't you have to understand God in first when he created us He trusted us. We always say we believe in God. God believes in you Before you ever could believe in God.  That's the only world he knew and he was able to trick Many people from there to rebel against God and this enemy that God has God put him under our feet on our first day of creation We didn't finish deliverance school. We didn't attend Bob Larson's classes. We didn't read Derek Prince books We didn't show up to tibia joshua's classes on the first day We didn't even know who satan is and God already put him under our feet God trusts you Before even the blood before the Holy Spirit power the humanity is made in the image and likeness of God There is power in even your self will And satan recognizes that That's why I never believe a lie that no matter what you're going through and how much the devil has taken That you cannot fight back even if you got a little bit left use that little bit and fight back The bible says if the lion came and he ate everything except the bone the ear and little bit of the mouth He says that God uses to fight back The bone and little bit of the ear But that's enough to begin to create a resistance against the devil Do not give the devil too much credit Rise up inside Battle that and you will win that in the name of Jesus The first way we overcome anxiety and depression and these things is by deliverance The second way is by taking the burden and the yoke of Jesus Jesus said take my yoke and my burden Take my yoke. So we receive rest by yoke and by burden. I understand this is an oxymoron It's kind of like a government service And if it's a government, it's not a service or microsoft works If it's microsoft it will not work And when we see rest by yoke and burden you're like well I'm coming to God to get rid of this and this And Jesus says if you come to me, I will give you rest But I want you to see something. He's not giving you everything when you come to him He's not giving you everything when you he delivers you if he would He wouldn't have any more to give you when you get his burden and his yoke This is very powerful. You don't get everything by deliverance You don't get everything by salvation positionally and legally. Yes, but practically no Because if you would Jesus wouldn't say learn from me take my yoke upon yourself and then you find rest The fact that you still can find more rest indicates you don't have all of it when you come to him You don't get all of it when you come to him I always say like this is there's rest you get by coming to Jesus and there is rest you get by growing in Jesus There is deliverance you get by coming to prayer line. There is deliverance you get by developing a prayer life There is deliverance. There's healing you get by coming and having somebody anoint you with oil And there is healing you get when you begin to apply the word of God in your personal life He said you will find rest When you take my yoke yoke in the bible is always symbolic of relationship and covenant Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers meaning you are connected with this wooden beam to another person And together you're kind of stuck and Jesus says I want you to have a yoke with me Let's get yoked together. I think we should start using that in a relationship instead of saying let's hang out together say let's yoke together You want to get yoked with me It's like what the heck is that? You're like it's it's in Hebrew. It means it means something wonderful So Jesus is asking you if you want to be yoked together And before you flip out Before you freak out and before you're like Jesus Give that to the pastor Give that to my enemies. I don't want no yoke. Just love from you.  It is to be enjoyed He loves you too much to see your relationship with him as a rigid. He wants to see it as easy And I remember when uh, you know, yeah, I would experience time in prayer where it was very hard or very difficult to break through You know, and you kind of like man, I just don't want to pray again. It's so hard It's it's a truly yoke, but if it's not easy, this is where you have to ask yourself a question What's going on with me? What is wrong with my mindset? Why am I seeing like that and one time I remember just a gentle whisper in my heart where I kind of complain and grumble how hard it is to be a christian and The lords have let it's not hard to love me. I'm perfect. It's hard to love you.  I want to remind you. It's not hard to love god It's hard to love you It cost you nothing to love god, but it cost god everything to love you And so god's yoke is easy god wants you to update your thinking update your mind to have a relationship with god Is not rigid hard and painful god doesn't looking for martyrs. He's looking for lovers He's looking for a bride and he wants you to update your thinking about that. I can somebody say amen Take my yoke and he says take my burden The word burden right away since negative vibe I'm pretty sure you're like, yeah, that's right. Lord. I just want more burden How many of us walk around say lord just increase burden in my life We walk around say lord get get that thing off of me. I do not want any burdens in my life But jesus says my burden.  You don't have anything within you. Your ministry is over And so this is what people do is they end their home groups They stop evangelizing and many people take a break even from the church because they hid a season where their love for god Dries up. I'm sorry. They're love for people dries up. We all experienced that all of us For me it happened many years ago when People that gotten saved walked away from the lord and those who joined our ministry left and it seemed like in few months Everyone was gone and I became not only burdened I became burned out and I felt like at the age of 20 something my ministry was over And I was like god, it's over. It is done Little did I knew that god was waiting for my compassion for people to run dry so he can give His burden See my burden for people Gets over His burden Is light And when I was coming to the edge of my natural burden, I was saying god, it's over and god was saying We haven't even started He said I haven't even started. We haven't even healed anybody Everything that's been going on now is you bringing donkeys and pigs and motorcycles to church He says that's been you running this and you've done an awesome job Hasn't been working so well, but you did good and now that you've come to an end of you Let's begin I want to bring my burden Means you no longer care for people because you're caring person But because the caring spirit gives you strength And then he says my annoying team becomes to be released because of that burden And I started to see how it's no longer just was my gift my skill my burden It was something my burden came to an end and the holy spirit was waiting so he can give me His burden and his anointing that the ministry doesn't grow because I am eloquent speaker But because the anointing of the holy spirit heals people delivers people and touches people's lives His burden many times will come into your life when your burden comes to an end And many of us quit when our burden comes to an end. We say I got burned out We don't experience supernatural many times until our natural comes to an end Many of us quit instead of holy spirit saying let me add now My super to your natural and let's create a supernatural I want to challenge every person for those of you who maybe in the past few years You've been a home group leader and you burned out It's okay not to have a home group. It's never okay not to have a burden Maybe you stopped witnessing Maybe you don't go witnessing no more I'm okay with that Don't live without a burden Maybe you're not preaching no more or not as involved in certain ministry no more I'm fine with that don't ever live without a burden If you live without a burden, I'm sorry if you live without a burden your life will become in bondage I see people all the time who say I don't want to have just kind of I want to take a break I want to take easy next thing that happens is those are the people who quickly find themselves today They need freedom And tomorrow you see they are in bondage to first simple things and then sins and then bigger things We experience freedom when we get delivered when we experience a rest when we get delivered We experience rest when we get a yoke and a burden and lastly jesus said learn from me And you will find rest for your soul When rest comes from learning Or growing because when we learn we grow when we grow We learn When you learn You grow when you grow you experience more freedom Jesus has attached freedom Not just to your prayer. He attached freedom to your process of growing One of my favorite examples of what it's like to be a christian is a tree of palm tree We don't have them here in florida where I would visit sometimes they would tell me a little bit about the palm trees A palm tree is a very unique tree for many many reasons and I have a message once that I preached But palm tree has this very interesting thing where if you take a palm tree and you bind the palm tree when it's young You know to keep it straight you put a chain around it The chain will stay there But as the palm tree will grow The palm tree unlike the other trees which will allow the ropes and chains to grow into it The palm tree as it grows No matter how strong the chain is it will always break bands Chains and ropes around it. It will not allow the chain to grow inside Apple tree is not like that if you put a rope around the young apple tree as the tree grows It adapts to the rope and many times you will see this tree That that that the tree is going like this and then there's this little bend where the rope is still there The palm tree when it's young you can put a rope around it But as it grows it will not allow the rope to grow into it. It will snap it And that's exactly where some people experience freedom when you're young satan sees you're still not experienced You don't know about healing you don't know about deliverance and he puts different bands around you And so your focus is to break free But sometimes you can't break free But you shouldn't stop growing You can't break free the devil says well because you still got few bands around you Don't go to church on sunday because it's not for you.  You are not just an orange tree.   That's why you need to be going to church So as you grow you become more free can somebody say amen When we learn we become more free Knowledge is power in peter. It says the following verse apostle peter says that he says that As his divine power Has given you all things that pertain to life And godliness so godliness means that you live a holy life Life means you live successful life in your marriage in your finances in your health God's power has given given is not god will god has given Means you already have that Amen He has given us all things pertain to power and godliness and to life in godness and then this is the word through The knowledge of him Means what unlocks what's already mine Is knowledge as I know more As I learn more My life begins to receive of what I already have been given When I learn more about healing God doesn't give me more healing. It's just I have access to the healing that's already been given When I learn more about freedom how holy spirit wants to use me in bringing freedom to others God doesn't give me more freedom. He actually lets me now use more of what's already been mine What's been given to me by his power That's one of the reasons you have to do your best To begin to enlarge your knowledge and your information without knowledge people perish You become free because you know It's just a story that I shared once when one guy had a problem with pipes in his business and and he hired this Professional who came to fix the piping and the professional walked around walked around and then found this pipe and took a small little hammer Hit the pipe and the problem was fixed and then gave him a bill for one thousand dollars The owner freaked out. He's like I ain't paying a thousand dollars for you to walk around my business and hitting one pipe He said yes, you are He said you're paying one dollar for hitting the pipe But you're paying $999 for knowing where to hit Knowledge Is not power knowledge accesses power Knowledge is the faucet See the water is connected to your house is already there when you turn on the faucet The water the city provides to you. That's already connected to your house Invisibly you don't see that but there's underwater Everything is connected. You can have as much water as you're willing to open the faucet God's kingdom has already given everything to us Through the faucet of knowledge That's why devil will fight your knowledge He will have you listen to Beyonce and just in tumber lake and all other lakes Just so you don't get knowledge. He will have you feel yourself with netflix Just so you don't get knowledge He will get you preoccupied with watching what everybody's posting on facebook Just so you don't get knowledge so you will die out of thirst having water connected to your house That's why you got to prioritize what you watch listen and watch jesus man Shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of god means when i receive knowledge I access what's already been mine I access the healing i access the prosperity i access the freedom i access peace There's nothing wrong with listening to music watching movies But if that is all that you are doing you must understand the power is being jammed And god isn't the problem The key is knowledge Can somebody say man We learned from three things we learned from our mistakes number two we learned from our mentors number three We learned from our master People in the world learn from mistakes mistakes teach you a lesson after they hit you hard And sometimes you're bleeding so hard. You're not ready to listen That's why many people never learn from their mistakes because you're bleeding so hard.  He said learn from me I raised the dead Learned from me how to do that I prayed even though i'm god I didn't need to pray, but I live the life of prayer learned from me how to pray I focused on large crusades yet. I always developed a small group of people learned from me how to impact the nations yet disciple few When a critics criticized me, I didn't fight them back because they didn't want to hear a response They just wanted to eat and just attack more of me. I kept my mouth silent Learned from me because lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep Caravan doesn't stop because the dog is barking learned from me Jesus has learned from me my first miracle in the synagogue was casting out of demons I got blasphemy for casting out of demons. I got criticized for casting out of demons. I still did it learn from me Every miracle got scrutinized and people said it was fake and when they could disprove the miracle They said you did it the wrong way and the wrong date and you reused the wrong methodology I still heal people learn from me learn from me The way we the reason why we pray for the sick is because Jesus left us an example to follow The reason why we save the lost and raise home groups is because Jesus left us an example to follow The reason why we cast out demons and break curses is because Jesus left me an example to follow The reason why we have large conferences and we can get criticized because criticism is the price for success Rick Warren said and the more success you have the more criticism that you will get and in the midst of that You still have to push through and do what jesus called you why because if jesus did it he gives me an example And the reason why we're believing also for people to be cleansed from leprosy Lame to walk deaf to hear blind to see dead to be raised and demons to be expelled jesus said learn from me He's my example. I love my denomination I love the brothers and sisters that that we are under covering with but my example is not my bishop My example is not my apostle.   He came to rip that thing off and to give you freedom


It's the network I'm gonna be real with y'all. I didn't originally plan to make this video and I know I haven't dropped in a minute I've been dealing with some stuff on the back end Bremen network country brand but trust and believe I'm gonna come back with a vengeance Once it's time, right? but I was reading through my general music business music industry websites and I came across this article that is interesting to say the least and it's interesting because it is a Modern case study of just how innovative the music industry is willing to be when it comes to finessing artists, right? and The article has to deal with live nation if you don't know who live nation is live nation is like the biggest Promoter company in all of the music industry they damn their control of venues and like every artist from like Post Malone to Billy I'llish to pretty much any artist that makes it to like a certain mainstream level have to go through live nation at That's just how much of a monopoly they have on the touring industry and I want you to remember that while we're talking about this They damn near have a monopoly on the touring entry, right? so what the article is talking about is a memo leaked from their office that details their Policy updates so that changes to their contracts for artists touring for festivals and shows moving forward into 2021 And it's a lot of red flags in here, bro Like there is a whole new level of finessery that has been brought up Thanks to this like this really makes you think that there are people who go to school to get degrees and finesse Just to come out and like apply that shit to the real world as fast as possible. That's how crazy this is So I'm not gonna get into the whole thing. I'm not gonna read the whole thing I'll link to it in the description below if you want to go and check it out But what I want to do is go through some of the red flags that just like popped out to me So I'm going to take off my market hat right when I put my promoter hat on And we can dive into some of this stuff now before we get into this come and follow me on Instagram I'll put my ad name in the description below come talk to me come engage with me come give me some video ideas All that good stuff. Also, make sure you like share and subscribe this video It helps it out. We need to get this out because people need to see That major labor artist get finesse to you know sound like we always think of finessing is like the DJ Cheating the RSI like $50. No, bro finessing comes from all sides of the music industry and people need to be careful So like I said, I'm not gonna read the whole thing But I will at least read the first paragraph because I feel like this sets up Where their mind was that why they was making these new rules, right? So it says the global pandemic has changed the world in recent months and with it the dynamics of the music industry We are in unprecedented times and must adequately account for the shift in market demand the exponential rise of certain costs and the Overall increase of uncertainty that of uncertainty that materially affects our mission in order for us to move forward We must make certain changes to our agreements with the artist the principal changes for 2021 are outlined below Now I will say this out of all sides of the music industry that have really taken a hit because of COVID Touring has probably taken the biggest hit right like no one's trying to go to a show Like I'm not trying to go to a little Uzi first show and have some 16 year old coughing on me And I go home and I got the wrong. I know if I'm thinking that it's probably other people that feel the exact same way So I will say this touring has definitely taken a big hit because of all of this And I can't even begin to imagine the amount of money that has been lost From live nation and other touring sectors like them But the shit that's outlined is memo, bro.  So it says artist guarantees will be adjusted downward 20% from 2020 levels. You may be thinking Corey What's wrong with that? We are hard times man Everybody got to make sacrifices so we can make this work and you're right We do need to be working together making sacrifices so this can work But once I get deeper into this you will understand a little bit more Why this is fucked up right so out the gate artist guarantees mean the amount of money they're going to That they are willing to negotiate for guarantee money to each act is going to be down on average 20% from the 2020 levels Out the gate red flag right the next red flag is the payment term line 3 Artists will receive a deposit of 10% one month before the festival contingent on the executed agreement and fulfillment of marketing Responsibilities the balance minus standard deductions for taxes and production costs will be paid after the performance now Let me tell you why this is fucked up, right? Most of the time when you go to book it act Typically they ask for a 30 to 50% of the overall like booking fee up front And then you usually pay them the rest After the show or like once we usually pay them like once they walk off stage some you pay like right before you walk on Stage if you trust them enough, but we usually like pay them once they're off, right? So out the gate it is saying that artists will receive 10% of their deposit One month before the festival say don't even get the entire deposit They get 10% one month before the show at the festival But they are still required to fulfill a marketing agreement that is planned around the show Now, I don't know how many I have ever done shows or thrown the festival But no one is marketing a festival a month out from the date, right?  That's not shit But I would get the baby 5k to make sure he pops up and he gonna promote for me for free ski over this shit, bro Red flag number two right and I mean most of the time the marketing responsibilities thing is like something you usually put into a contract You have to make sure these artists promote because they won't promote if you don't make them promote this crazy But the payment thing out the gate just isn't something that I could see a lot of them agreeing to me A lot of them won't have a choice, but to agree to it But it's something that I can see that they would never agree to if they didn't have to agree to it Right another red flag which may have already been here I've never seen like a live nation contract before this but they have a streaming requirement, right? So all artists will be required to allow their performance to be filmed by the festival for use in the live television broadcasts a live webcast on demand streaming Streaming or satellite a live satellite radio broadcasts out the gate.  So the next line merchandise, right? Purchaser will retain 30% of artist merchandise sales and send 70% to the arts within two weeks following the festival So this is something that's new to me. I've never heard of this. I've never been in this situation I didn't know live nation did this but live nation is basically saying that We get 30% of your merch sales and we will pay you to rest two weeks after the festival So once they've had two weeks to count the money up make sure straight It don't even touch the artist hands, which is crazy to me. I never knew that I never knew artist would like signing to this You get paid your merch money Two weeks after the festival after giving them 30% while also only being paid 10% of your fee before doing show and doing all the work while also doing the work and Your guarantee is already down 20% from last year. So you're already out the gate making less money, right? Affair accommodations these expenses will be the responsibility of the artist now Yes, typically we negotiate these deal with these artists either you include their travel fee in the price or You know saying you pay for it. That's how it usually is So they're out the gate saying like no, bro You gotta pay for yourself this these next couple lines is when it really starts to get violated like really really really Violate right so they have a clause in here about insurance and it says the artist is required to maintain its own Cancellation insurance as a promoter is not responsible for the artist fee in the event of a cancellation of the festival due to weather or force Major right so cancellation insurance is pretty much what it sounds like it is my insurance that covers The event or covers you in the case that an event has to be cancelled for whatever reason force majeure Means that basically means like an act of God like something that you or I can't control so they're saying that the artist is responsible for Anything that is out of both of their controls that allows the event to be cancelled, right? Which makes the next line? So much more fucked up, bro So it says if an artist counsels this performance and breach of the agreement the artist will pay the promoter two times The artist fee so if I have to cancel the show and you were going to pay me $50,000 to come and do the show out the gate I have to pay you a hundred thousand dollars for a cancellation of the show However, live nation made sure to cover their own as by saying that if a show is Counseled due to poor ticket sales the artist will receive 25% of their guarantee 25% that guarantee if the show is counseled due to poor ticket sales Which isn't really the fault of the artist because live nation is the promoter It is live nations responsibility to make sure the asses are in the seat. That's the whole point of a promoter, right? Now they also have their own force majeure country Closing here that says if the artist performance is canceled due to an event of force majeure Including a pandemic similar to COVID-19 the promoter would not pay the artist is fee The artist is responsible for obtaining any Counselation insurance for us performance now you're understanding why this is fucked up, right? Because they're saying that yo you have to get your own insurance We're not gonna we're not gonna cover something canceling the event if you counsel for whatever reason you Double the money, but if we have to counsel for some reason as out of our control We feel like it's out of our control.    Oh that might have crumb I ain't trying to deal with that But they're basically putting all of the risk all of the damn near guaranteed risk that comes with doing the show during the COVID-19 pandemic and they're putting that off on the artists why basically taking none of the wrist themselves because if you feel like you need to Counsel the show. Let's say your manager gets sick or your road agent Your road agent gets sick or something comes up to where you can't do it out together You owe them double the money Right, but if they feel like that you're not gonna be able to sell tickets because of COVID Which a lot of these artists are not going to be able to do their usual capacities because people are not trying to go to large-scale events Right now, this is live nation pushing people to get back into shows not the artist like all the artists I've heard talking or spoke to like their height, but they're learning about internet money and merch sales and twitching shit But they're not trying to do shows and risk themselves At harm and risk their fans at harm. That's not the fans trying to do that.  Like we've negotiated like certain refund policies if something isn't met So for example, we had one show one time We thought we got the council because it was like I think like a hurricane or something was coming through Atlanta And we had to work out to where the show gets counseled We were still going to pay to act like 30 or 40 percent of that fee because you know like we couldn't control that they can control that We understand they had certain like money that they put into getting here that we didn't want to fuck them over because it Was ruined the relationship, right? So we're like we get it. This isn't your fault So we don't want to take the full blunt of the force and completely lose out on all the money But we feel you too.  So I don't know man. Like I said, I think that This is just opening the door For a lot of people to use Covid as a reason to just get over on artists like they're going to discuss about the fact of like Oh, I'm just trying to protect myself. What if we have to cancel this show? What if something happens? It's like you're not the only one taking that risk.  You can't tell me that's fair like no one can tell me it's fair I don't know man. I'm interested to know what y'all think man Let me know what you think in the comment section below Do you feel live nation? Do you feel like they're just protecting themselves and they have the right to do this?   Come and follow me on Instagram at Kory save your link will be in the description below If you feel like you're learning thing today, please like and share this video hit those post notifications as well I wouldn't want you guys to miss anything once again. My name is Kory and I'll see y'all Whenever next month I drop in the video


Okay. Hello everybody. My name is Valentin Koser. My colleague's name is Harald Schnubusch. We both are from the Ervetiha Aachen. And we would like to introduce you today the Cardbox plugin. The Cardbox plugin is a tool that allows teachers and students to create flashcards together. And after being created, these flashcards can be practiced by the students. First of all, we would like to give you some background information why we decided to develop this tool. Then we will give an overview of the different Cardbox teachers and a demonstration of how the Cardbox works in Moodle. And last but not least, we will give you a very short insight into a usage example to outline how the Cardbox can be embedded in a typical learning scenario. Because the Cardbox can be used in different learning settings. One setting, probably the most common setting is vocabulary. But apart from that, the Cardbox offers a wide range of use. The plugin is an in-house development of Aachen University. And now that it has recently been added to the Moodle plugin directory, so the entire Moodle community can use it now. Before we will go more into detail, maybe a few words about our motivation to develop this plugin. Because maybe some of you may know that there are two H5P content types in Moodle that can be used to practice vocabulary. So maybe they will come up the question why a third tool and what can dessert tool that the existing content types cannot. And to explain what makes a difference between the existing content types and the Cardbox, I just want you to have a quick look at the existing types so that we compare them with the Cardbox. So both with dialog cards and flash cards, you can create a set of cards. With dialog cards, the student has just to turn the card to see the answer. And then he has to decide by himself whether he got his right or wrong. And with flash cards, however, the student has to tap in his answer and then he will be informed automatically whether his answer is correct or not. So basically both content types are pretty similar, with some differences regarding the input to be given, for example. And one feature that is neither implemented in dialog cards nor in flash cards is the possibility to save the current learning status and to continue at the later time. So this can be very important in a combination with a spaced repetition mode. And this feature, however, is implemented in our Cardbox with some other features that are missing in both content types. So one key feature of the Cardbox is that it is a collaborative tool that means that students and teachers can work together to create a set of cards. You have also the option to import cards, which can be very helpful if you have lots of cards that you want to import at once. In case of several alternative answers, you can specify how many answers the student has to give, just one answer or if more than one answer has been added to a flash card, maybe the student has to give all alternative answers. Another feature that is helpful is that also with many flash cards that you can create topics and categorize flash cards by assigning each flash card to a certain topic. And there are also some learning statistics offered so that the students can monitor their learning progress. Another key feature is the so-called spaced repetition mode. So the main idea of spaced repetition is that it is important to repeat the learning content several times at increasingly intervals. So in our Cardbox that means that the first revision starts after one day, the second revision after three days, third revision after seven days and so on. So this is how to make sure that the learning content remains permanently in the memory and is not forgotten after some time. So this is the basic idea of spaced repetition and based on these findings, the so-called Leitner system was developed in the 1970s and the Leitner system consists of seven boxes and so does our Cardbox and if you answer a card correctly, so the card is advanced to the next box and if you answer a card wrong, the card will go back to the first box. So even if you answer a card correctly four times in a row and the fifth time you don't, so the Cardbox and so the flashcard will go back to the first box and you have to start from the beginning. So even if there is no fallback to the first box, so it takes 34 days for a flashcard to completely leave the Cardbox. Here you can see an overview of the range of usage of the Cardbox. As mentioned earlier, there's a wide range of uses, bequant vocabulary, so you can use it to practice dates like specific dates, birth dates for example, formulas, definitions and also quite classical question types like true false questions or free text questions are possible. But this list is only to give you an impression what use cases are possible and it can of course be extended by your own idea. Okay, so much for theory and now let's give you an impression of how the Cardbox works in Moodle and for time reasons we prepared a video for this. I hope it will run without any problems. Okay, so first of all a new Cardbox activity has to be added, then you make some settings here. So here for example here you can decide when you want to allow written input that the cards are automatically a bit corrected. You can set this checkbox. In case of several answers you can specify how many answers have to be given. So just one answer or all answers that have been added and case sensitivity. So this is maybe interesting for vocabulary where it may not matter whether you write the answer in upper or lower case. So if you set this to no, upper and lower case will be ignored. And that's what we've done here. And so much for the basic settings. And from now on cards can be added by students and teachers and that's why we switched now to the student perspective. So here first of all a topic has to be assigned. Then we have to give here a question and optionally an image file, an audio file or a context line can be added.  And all that we've done here by filling in the input fields, by choosing an image file, by giving a context line and two alternative answers, crossroads and intersection. And just one of these answers has to be given. And in the next step the teacher has to review the cards submitted by the student. If needed the teacher can do some editing here and if not he can skip all this and can accept and save. And from that moment on the flash card is listed in the overview tab together with all other cards that have been added before to the overview tab and here you can do also some filtering by topics. And then the flash cards are ready for practice by choosing a practice mode, in this case the automatic check. Here you can give no answer, like in this example a wrong answer, like here or an answer that hasn't been added yet as a correct answer and in this case the student can suggest his own answer as a correct answer. Or the student can here just give a right answer and when the learning session is over the student is here a summary of his results and afterwards the teacher has to approve the submitted alternative solution in the review tab again. So since the teacher has suggested the word junction you can just approve it and after being approved the solution will be added to the other alternative solutions and will be accepted in future learning sessions. And in the brokerage tabs finally you can see some statistics for example how many cards are in each box. So far for the overview hopefully enough to give you a short idea. And finally a few more words on the usage example. Sorry to interrupt but we're running a bit out of time in the schedule so maybe we skip the usage example just to make sure that we can get back into schedule. It's okay? Yeah we need to get the next presenter on because he you know at the time. Yes sorry. The timer was telling you the time is up over there. So while he brings his computer to connect will allow one question. Okay see it takes a while for the computer connection so please help with the HDMI change. Any question allow one question how they do the technical switching here. One question anybody who has a question for okay thank you. Is it on? Yeah okay really thank you for your presentation and for presenting this feature that I think is lacking already a long time in Moodle something with that supports Leitner and stuff like that. What I was wondering are there I noticed that the student has to type in the correct answer to that then will be automatically evaluated by the system which is a bit hard on mobile and I would think that students would use this on a mobile phone on a train waiting somewhere. Is there any plans to make like a mode of operation where the student can see the correct answer and just mark whether he had it right or wrong in his head a bit way like I think Anki works a bit like that like you the wrong the right answer is shown and then you decide whether it was easy difficult right wrong suffice. Are there any ideas to implement some feature like that? It's on okay not really to be honest this is very fresh this plug in it's just the first state but it's a good question a good remark that we need to think a bit more about mobile users because I mean maybe not at our university the students usually also have a computer a laptop at home but but the scenario that they're working on on the way to university on the train or wherever even especially if they are trying to prepare exams we know that they're doing that also listening to videos then on the train and faster mode and all this stuff. Yeah but it might be and we will take that with us. Thanks.


G'day, how are you going? If you're new here, my name is Tech and welcome to my channel, Bootlossophy. I'd like to first acknowledge the traditional custodians of Wajat country, the lands on which I live and work. Now in this video, I'm choosing out of all my collection of maybe 35 or so pairs of service boots my top five service boots that I love. I have about 35 36 maybe even up to 38 pairs of service boots in my whole collection of 70 something pairs of boots. So choosing my top five is going to be like choosing your favorite child or choosing who amongst your family you're going to take into the nuclear bunker when you know who presses the button. But choose we must. First though, let's start with what is a service boot? Look, there's no real set in stone definition other than that they are boots that look like the boots our men and women wore during the mid-20th century wars. So we're talking made of leather about six inches tall in the shaft sturdy sole derby open lacing system. They can be plain toe or cap toe. Modern versions can be sleek and almond toe shaped or they can still be chunky and round-toed and maybe even having a bulbous toe. Now to some extent some service boots may as well be described as work boots and by those I include many Truman boots, most Pacific Northwest boots and certainly the Red Wing Iron Ranger. So there's no set and fast rule in choosing my top five. I've tried to shy away from the fine line between service boot and work boot and make sure I'm really in the service boot area. In making my choices, I've tried to consider both concrete characteristics like say durable construction and build as well as very subjective ones like my own favorite design aesthetic. And if you want the detailed reviews of each of these boots, I'll put a link in the description box below. Link to my other videos that break these boots down into all of their pros and cons. And while you're there, don't forget, click on like and click on subscribe. Anyway, here we go. Coming from the bottom up, my number five best service boot is the Thursday Captain boot in brown Thursday chrome leather. I've made no secret that this boot was my gateway drug into the world of good year well-to-quality heritage style boots. Having first acquired a pair of Timberland yellow boots, I liked the idea of a service boot and the Thursday came into view as being a totally affordable first buy. I'm picking this into my top 10 because it looks like what you might draw if you were asked to draw an army boot. So it easily fits in my top five. It meets all of the six inch good year well-to-do et cetera definitions and it's pretty cool to look at as well. The Thursday chrome leather is their take on the famous chrome XL and it's easy to take care of and the boot is also fully leather lined. Thursday's sleek last recently on the way to being made more comfortably wider means that it looks dressy at the same time as tough. This is a very versatile boot and I have been known to even wear it with a gray suit but scuffed up. You can also wear it in any casual situation and even down to barnyard rugged. If you don't own any good boots, this is the pair that you want to start with. My next choice in at number four is this pair of Oak Street bootmakers trench boot. I have another pair in natto chrome XL with a brogue cap toe but to me in this very patina inviting Halloween natural Dublin leather with the plain cap toe it's very much what you might picture in the World War One trenches covered in mud and dirt. This one is hand lasted on the generous Elston round toe last, good year welted, split reverse veg tan welt and is so comfortable on my feet. The tan color of the natural veg tan leather is surprisingly very versatile and while you can't really get away with anything too dressy it will go with anything on the casual side of a suit. The materials quality is better than the captain with all leather and cork under your feet but of course you pay more. It's comfortable enough to wear all day as soon as you get it out of the box and it just gets better. My number three choice shows you that service boots need not be only cap toe boots. This is the Grant stone diesel boot in their saddle tan makeup. The leather is from Italian tannery Badalasi Carlo. As expected it is a six inch boot, good year welted, another split reverse welt with a two-piece backstay to protect the leather heel counter. There's a couple of design features I'd like to point out. There is a curvy design in the back heel strip to make it a point of difference from other service boots. It is on a leather sole. Now some might not like this and certainly I wouldn't necessarily describe these as a great outdoor boot because of that grip or lack of but the leather sole is comfortable and there's a lot of leather. You have the outside layer and the midsole and beyond that a cork filler and another leather insole. The uppers are veg tanned and they've gone from a bright orange out of the box to a mellow honey color making this extremely suitable to pair with denim, navy, khaki especially black and practically every earth tone or neutral colored pair of pants. It will not look out of place if you wear a nice button-up shirt or a simple t-shirt and I've even worn it with a suit. Fully lined with kip leather from the US it's a comfy but very sturdy boot. So now we come to the second best service boot in my collection. This is another plain toe service boot from Parker's brand. It's their Allen boot model in dark roast Dublin leather. You'll notice this version of a service boot comes in an all-islet configuration no speed hooks which I am led to believe was the original design for World War 1 and 2 service boots. My own 1970s national service ammo boots came in an all-islet configuration and you can see why you wouldn't want your speed hooks getting caught up in vegetation and other constrictions when you're crawling around under fire. The Allen boot shows off a single piece backstay boondocker style. It's again split reverse Goodyear welterd for that extra water resistance and like the other boots so far it sits on a day night studded sole which gives you grip and a low profile that parades that provides you with parade ground sweetness. The uppers are unlined and like the Oak Street trench boot is Horween's Dublin Tannage this one in a dark roast coffee color. Again a very versatile boot and you can wear it with smart casual to rugged casual all the way. Drum roll please this is the number one top best service boot in my collection. Now I have a pair of Viberg service boots coming and when they do get here this one may may get knocked off top position but we'll see. Until then this was my grail boot and is the granddaddy of all service boots with let's face it hardly a nod to fashion. This is White's MP Sherman with a toe cap in natural chromic cell and on a half lug sole. It is made like a work boot it's rough and tough it's not sleek fashion forward no not at all. I have three other pairs of MP boots including an MPM one you can tell the difference in that the Sherman has this two piece backstay while the MPM one has a single piece backstay again kind of boondocker style. The reason I chose these as my top choice out of all my other MP boots was because of that half lug commander sole. While there's nothing wrong with a day night sole it is one of my favorites this one I feel talks more about it being from military roots. You can see this sole in the trenches. The uppers are in Horween's natural chromic cell which comes first out of the box in a very pale leather color very similar to what you see on the leather midsole. It then darkens with wear and the sun into a mid-brown patina friendly toffee color. Given time the brown will deepen and darken and the variations in patina that's caused by the friction of your pants the oil from your hands splashing of water and just sun exposure will emerge all patchy and mottled. These are technically a stitch down construction but White's used their own rolled welt method which sews an extra piece of leather similar to the uppers onto the uppers and it's then rolled to become a welt that's stitched down to the midsole. It's built like a Sherman tank. The arch support is phenomenal and despite being a heavy boot because of all the layers of leather and plenty of nails it is so comfortable that I forget I have boots on when I wear these during the day. Style wise it's a little less versatile than the others in my top five. The lug sole does not say business casual. I think this is more suited to jeans and khakis that are earth tone going towards black. These are better suited to flannels and waxed or leather jackets than business casual blazers and dressy shirts. So there you are my best service boot is the White's MP boot followed by the Parkhurst Ellen and then the Grant Stone Diesel, the Oak Street Bootmakers and finally the very affordable Thursday Captain.
