Okay. Good morning, everyone. Good to see you all. I think there were more of them in your class, right? I don't remember. I didn't teach your last two semesters. Yes, we were about more than 30. More than 30? Yes, we were more than 30 when you were at the hostel. Oh, am I audible clear? Do I need to make my volume louder? A bit louder would be good. Is this fine? Yes, that's fine. This is better? Okay. Okay, so good to see three and three-six of you. Welcome back to class. Very nice to see each one of you.  Yeah, so did you get to read the introduction and did you get to have a look at the notes? Yes, no? Not really, ma'am. When was I posted? Sorry? I haven't yet. I mean, I didn't know the... You haven't seen? What about the others? I posted it on, I think on Friday or Saturday. Yeah, Friday or Saturday, I think. So I posted the notes for the biblical basis on 8th January and then welcome and course content for Children's Ministry on 7th. Do you all get to see it? Yes, ma'am. Yes, okay. Good. Yes, ma'am. Okay, so before we begin our class, can somebody just start in the word of prayer, please? Anyone can just lead us in prayer? Yeah, thank you, Erin. Father, we give our glory and honor to you for presenting this new year. To learn and to equip a new word, Lord Father. As we go deeper in the word, Lord Father, Lord, the teachers, Lord Father, and Holy Spirit, Lord Father, as we know that Lord Father, you are the best counselor, best teacher, Lord Father. And Lord Father, I pray for all the students and for Pastor Selena, Lord Father, Keith Augustine and all the children of Father, as she teaches you, Lord Father. I pray for each and every one of the students, Lord Father, to be pure heart, open up our heart, our spiritual eye, our spiritual heart to receive your word, Lord Father. So I'm starting from today in words of the children of this semester, Lord Father, be with us, Lord Father, in Jesus, in my prayer. Amen. Thank you. We're going to, you know, you might be expecting in your, I don't know if they have made the changes in the timetable, you know, and you would have seen that it was Youth Ministry today and it was Children's Ministry class yesterday, but we just decided that we will do Children's Ministry the first two months of this year that is Jan and Feb, and then we'll do Youth Ministry in March and April. Okay, so Jan and Feb, I'll be taking your classes on Monday and Tuesday, and if March and April, Pastor Roshan will be taking your classes on Youth Ministry. I hope that's fine. Is that all right? Yes. Okay, so how many of you are involved in Children's Ministry? Not right now. Okay. Okay, at least you've involved in Children's Ministry. Anyone here involved in Children's Ministry at any point of time? Yes, even me, Pastor, two years back I was serving in the ministry. Okay. Okay, Aran was also serving in the ministry. Dave was also, Prince has never been in Children's Ministry. Okay, that doesn't matter. What about Kanan and Thomas and Kiran? Yeah, even I also have been in the Children's Ministry. You've been in Children's Ministry, I couldn't hear you clearly. Sorry, Thomas. I was. You was. Okay, good. Okay, so Kanan says no and Kiran also says no. Okay, that's fine.  Or what is your expectation of this class? Are you excited to take this class because, you know, you might be thinking I've, I've never thought of doing Children's Ministry and I'm not going to be involved in doing Children's Ministry. And why should I take this course? Right, this thought come to your mind or you're just going with the flow. Okay, this is what they've put. This is what I have to take and this is what I have to do to finish my course. Can I just have some inputs? Yes, actually the Children's Ministry is very special because what we saw in the engage that we bear fruit in this when they grow up. It is very important how to minister among the children, so the seed, the word of God among the children. I was ministered most two, three years with the VBS and Sunday classes, things and all. So they catch the words very easily and remember the teachers as well. So that much the impact will be made on the children. So I'm excited to learn more how to do more effective in the midst of the children. Okay, thank you Thomas. What about the others?  So what is your expectation of this class? Are you excited about this class? Are you interested in taking this class? So you're just going to do it because you have to finish this course. Yes, ma'am. Exciting the Children's Ministry and one thing from my side, the children is based on my foundation. If we teach and something we just teach and show them, you know, then the foundation, the beat, it is strong. Then already if later on they will become a mature and youth, then they will never be fell down. Okay, so Kiran is saying that and Thomas saying this is a foundation and Thomas was saying that it's so important to teach them God's word and they're so receptive, they just receive it. You know, and Kiran is saying that when we build this strong foundation now, you know, when they grow up to be young people, youth, they will not depart from the godly ways. Yes, what about Kanan and Prince? Jamma, it's exciting. I think in the church, children's also is there. So we need to learn how to build them from little to up. So it's time to learning, but I didn't attend the Sunday school also in the Children's Ministry. So I am so excited. Yeah. Okay, good. So it's just good to hear your perspective. So I have this idea in the back of my mind when I'm preparing when I'm teaching. I don't assume that because I've been in Children's Ministry and I've been in Sunday School all my life.  So I shouldn't come from that perspective that all of you know, most of it. So this background just helps me to even prepare my classes and to also know to what extent I need to, you know, go deeper and how I need to explain. Yeah. Like Prince said, it's children are also part of the church. Very well said. It's so important. And so they are integral part of the church. They also need to be ministered to and, you know, because they are part of the church. Yes, that's very important. So it's good that you've come with an open mind to learn. What about Kannan? Yeah, I'm also same as Prince. Okay. Okay, thank you. Yes, go ahead, Kannan. This is very important to do with the children's so they can do better in their youth. Okay, thank you. Okay, so a good, you know, background that I could get from all of you here from what you have to say about, you know, your perspective on Children's Ministry and this course. Okay, so we'll, we'll see the importance of Children's Ministry.  But also you're going to have children and you can simultaneously even minister to them. So you can know how to minister from, you can learn some of the, you know, tools that you can use to minister to children.  So, you know, the Children's Ministry will also be under your purview, your overview. That's something that you need to take care of. So you can just give the teachers a few guidelines from what you're learning. You can share the importance, the biblical mandate, the biblical importance of teaching, training children and how they can go about, you know, how they can go about building the Children's Ministry that is already being established.  And also if you are not very sure, you know, which ministry you need to take or God, you know, this, this course can also God can stir up your heart. The Holy Spirit can stir up your heart and burden your heart for children and God can lead you into doing Children's Ministry. You know, when I was, before I joined Children's Ministry, I never actually loved children. I was ministering to children, but I never thought I would be into full-time Children's Ministry. I always wanted to work with, you know, with older people and minister to them, basically into counseling and things like that. But I saw God just moving me and the steering up my heart for children and he's always been leading me every step of the way into Children's Ministry. So we never know what the Lord has for us and how he's, you know, maybe turning the plans that he has for us. And if you're waiting on the Lord for what you need to do after you finish your Bible college, maybe God can stir your heart up even for Children's Ministry. So we can, you know, anyways, attend this sessions or this classes with an open mind just to learn to build ourselves up so that we can build others who are not able to get into any Bible college or learn about Children's Ministry, you know, just help them, give them some tips, tools, and just get them going into being effective ministers, ministering to children. So before we go into this whole course, we will look at, you know, why is ministering to children very, very important or why is Children's Ministry important? I'll just present these. Okay, so can you see the slide presentation? Yes? No? Yes. Okay. So here we see that, you know, more than half of the people who believe in Jesus do so by the age of 12. You know, when we are in church, we are so actively involved in evangelism and, you know, having programs to, you know, speak the salvation message to lead people into accepting Christ as their personal savior. We see we have a whole group of, you know, people, children who, you know, are willing to readily accept Jesus, you know, just before the age of 12. So Children's Ministry is very important because, you know, more than half of the people who believe in Jesus do so by the age of 12. Okay.  So we see that it's very important that, you know, we minister to children because it is a very important stage or a phase in a person's life because by the time a child is nine-year-old, they, you know, have a basic moral foundation. What is right? What is wrong? And after that, to change it kind of becomes very, very difficult. So, you know, see, just ministering to children at a very young age, you know, sharing with them the biblical truths, teaching them, you know, the laws, the commandments and what God requires of them. Just builds in them a moral foundation of what is right, what is wrong, what they should do, what they shouldn't be doing.  Another important thing why we need to be, you know, children's ministry is important is because by the age of 13, a child has formed their basic beliefs about the nature of God. The real ability of the Bible and the existence of an afterlife and the everlasting love of Jesus. Okay, so by the age of 13, they've already have a basic, you know, belief system or religious belief system about who God is, what he means to them, how he relates to them, their relationship with God, the Bible, whether it's the truth, whether they should follow it or whether it's just a book of laws of do's and don'ts. And also, you know, what is their existence, what is their purpose, why God has created them, what is going to happen after death, and also their, you know, their relationship with regard to their love for Jesus. So all this is formed before the age of 13.  What will a child know? You know, there's no point in teaching them all of these things from God's word. Just tell them some basic stories, kind of repeat the same stories of David and Goliath and Zacchus, you know, and because we think they are not able to understand. And we kind of give, just give them like milk and we don't feed them with food and solid meat, but we tend to do that for youth and adults. But we see that, you know, they become more resistant because they've already formed their basic belief systems, their moral values are already built and it's so difficult to break through. But for children, you know, they're very easy to speak to, for us to explain to them. And so we see it's so important to minister to children, not just give them, you know, milk, but give them solid food as well.  What do you think? Some other just feeding a child milk from the day the child is one day old to the day a child is 13 year old? Yes, no. No.  So we see that it's not milk throughout. So here also, even when it comes to spiritual nurturing and spiritual feeding of a child, you know, it's important that we just don't give them milk, just give them stories from God's word and, you know, just finish a Sunday school class or a children's church class. But we need to teach them more solid meat from God's word. That means give them more theological training and teaching. And that is what we do at APC Children's Church. If you've noticed, you know, at APC Children's Church, our curriculum that we have for children is all based on the courses that we are teaching in Bible college. Of course, it is written according to their age-specific needs and development. But we see that even children in grade two to grade four, they're learning about biblical covenants. They're learning the doctrine of God. They're learning about the Holy Spirit.  They're not just learning ABCD for one, two, three or numbers. You know, they're learning each year, as they keep going into each class, they're learning more details about the same subject, but in a more deeper way. So even when it comes to children's ministry, when it comes to teaching children from God's word, you know, just not telling them Bible stories, but teaching them the solid food or meat from God's word. So this is why it is important for us to do children's ministry or to minister to children. Now we look at the biblical basis and the mandate for children's ministry. So what is the biblical basis and the mandate for children's ministry? Okay, we see that in God's plan, you know, he had her plan for children as well. And we see this right from Genesis. Now, the next few slides that I'll be putting up, you know, will have a lot of scripture references and they're on the screen. So I'd like you all to keep your Bibles opened. And, you know, as I request, one of you can keep reading these passages out loud if it's all right with you all. So we see that in the very beginning, you know, God had this whole concept of family in his mind from the very beginning. And we see that God created families in the very beginning. He created Adam and Eve and we see Adam and Eve had children. And how do we know that it was that, you know, the concept of family was in God's mind from the very beginning? We read this in Genesis chapter one was 28. Can somebody read it out loud for us, please? Thank you. So here we see, you know, God bless them. Who did God bless? He blessed Adam and Eve. And what did he say? Be fruitful and increase in number. So here we see that, you know, God had a plan in his mind for family and God's plan for children was from the very, very beginning. Here we also see in Genesis chapter 17, verses six and seven, that God chose and established Abraham's family as the family of promise. So he chose Abraham through whom he would, you know, establish his plan, his purpose, his promise for the generations to come. And we read this in Genesis chapter 17, verses six to seven. Can somebody read that loudly, please? I will keep here many descendants and some of them will be kings. You will have so many descendants that they will become nations. I will put my promises, a promise to you and to your descendants in future generation.  Thank you, Erin. So here we see that, you know, God is establishing a covenant, not just with one person. But through this person, Abraham, he's establishing his covenant and his promises for his descendants as well. That is his children's children for the generations to come that he will be their God.  And we can also read Genesis chapter 17, verses nine to 14, please. Can somebody read that? Yes, ma'am. The mark of the covenant, nine. Then God said to Abraham, your responsibility is to obey the term of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility. This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep. Each male among you must be circumcised. You must cut off the place of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you. From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the 18th day after his birth. This applies not only on members of your family but also to the servants of the born in your household and the foreign born servant whom you have purchased. All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant. Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant. Thank you, Kiran. So here we see that God is telling Abraham, you know, giving him a command and telling him that, you know, you have to do this, you know, ritual of circumcision as to keep the covenant that he's making with Abraham for generations to come. And he's saying that you need to, you know, circumcise every male among you who is eight days old. So a child as well. So here we see in this, just there are more scripture references in the Bible, but I'm just choosing a few of them to see that God has a plan for a family. The concept of family was in God's mind from the very beginning. Okay. And in that concept of family, you know, family is not just husband and wife, but also children. And so here we see that God has a plan for children from the very beginning. Okay. And the next thing is we see that God not only has a plan for children in the family, but also God has a plan for children to be trained in his word. Okay. For children to be trained in his word. We have this, you know, very familiar verse that we all know from Second Timothy chapter three verse 16 where it says, all scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuke, correcting and training. And we see that, you know, this is a mandate or this is a law. This is something that God has established throughout scripture that his word be taught, his word be reiterated again and again, be spoken out again and again. The laws being taught again and again to people and to the generations that are to come. So we see that all scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuke, correcting and training. And this is not only for adults or for youth, but also for children. So we see the importance God placed in teaching children. We look at Genesis chapter 18 verses 17 to 19. Can somebody read that loudly please. And Abraham said to God, hope that Ishmael might leave before you.  I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his descendants. Are you reading from Genesis 18 verses 17 to 19? Okay, I'll read that. Yeah, nobody's Thomas. I'll read it. Then the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham what I'm about to do. Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation and all nations of the earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him. Okay, so here we read again, you know, about Abraham and we're saying we're seeing here that, you know, God chose, why did God choose Abraham? Of course, you know, we know that it was because of his faith that he had in God, but here we also read that God is saying for I have chosen him. God is saying I have chosen Abraham so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised. So we see that, you know, God chose Abraham because he knew that he will direct his children and his household and teach them the ways of the Lord and doing what is just and right in the ways of the Lord.  So this is so important if you have to see God's promise as covenant promise being passed on from you to your children, it's important that you teach your children direct them in the ways of the Lord and doing what is right and just and if you want to see God's covenant promise being established. Among his people, you know, it's important that we also teach and pass on the laws and the commandments and what God requires of us teach it to our children, even in church. Okay, the next one is Exodus chapter 12 versus 24 to 27 year. One of you can read it, but before we before you read it, I'll just, you know, give you a background. You know, here we see God giving instructions to Moses and Aaron about the Passover, how to celebrate the Passover. The first Passover that they had in Egypt and Moses and Aaron takes these instructions that God gives them and they and he they go and give it to the elders and the elders goes to their own households and they give the instructions of the Lord. So can somebody read Exodus chapter 12 versus 24 to 27, please? And you shall observe this thing. We can't hear you. For you and your sons forever. It will come to power. Yeah, now we can hear you. No. And you shall observe this thing.    Okay. Don't. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Remember, these instructions are a permanent law that you and your distant land must observe forever when you enter the land of the Lord has promised to keep you. You will continue to observe this ceremony. Then your children, your children will ask, what does this ceremony mean? And you will reply, it is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord. For he passed over the house of the Israelis in Egypt. And though he stuck the Egyptians, he spread our families. When Moses had finished speaking, all the people bow down to the ground and worship. Yes. Thank you, Kiran. Thank you, Prince. So here we see that, you know, God is giving them instructions about how to celebrate or keep the Passover feast. And he's saying, he's telling Moses and Aaron, tell the people that even when they enter the promised land, the land that he's going to give them, they have to obey this ceremony. Sorry. And when the children ask them what the ceremony means, you need to tell them. Okay. So it's not saying when, when you ask, but they're saying children. So even when children ask, you know, explain to them, don't just say that they might, don't think that they might not understand. There's no importance in, it's not important for them to know right now when they grow up, they'll understand. But it says when your children ask, you know, tell them what they did, what was the ceremony, how they went about doing it, why they had to do it and what God had done for them. So why is God, you know, specifically saying that when your children ask, because God knows that, you know, at the very young age, children have to be molded in the ways of the. Lord, at a very young age, they can, they can, they have that kind of understanding or that mindset to, to, to know who their God is to understand who their God is to know his love and what he's done for them. And so that they can have a relationship with him from a very, very young age. So here we see the importance of, of, of God telling most and even teach the children, even the ceremony, sometimes, you know, when they're seated in church, if the children ask us about what is holy communion, what is this wine, what is this bread. You know, parents have failed to explain this whole thing to them because we think children will not able to understand. But, you know, it can be, it can have an adverse effect on the children as well because children, you know, they think that, you know, people in church drink wine. So it's, it's okay for us to drink wine. And that is what happened to one of the children, you know, the, when they had a Christmas party, the friends in school said, you know, y'all in church drink wine and all that.  So this child went and bought wine and when the principal caught the child and the friends and the parents were called. The child said this, you know, we drink wine in church. So we thought it's okay to drink wine. And from that time onwards, I started saying when we serve communion in children's church, you don't say, you know, the wine, but we say grape juice. And also, you know, teaching when we, when we give communion, or we had the, when we give out the communion for children in children's church. We, we share or we teach them what this whole thing is about and what is the significance and what is the meaning. And I always tell the younger children who are not partaking in the communion. Say, even if you're not partaking in this broken body and the shed blood of Jesus, it's important for you to listen and to understand.  So it's very important for us, even when we go through these various ceremonies, you know, like in your churches, you might be having a harvest festival. Some of the churches we go through this Lenten season. Now we'll start Lenten just before the Good Friday, before Easter. We have this whole Lent season. We also have Monday, Thursday. We also have Good Friday. So teach children, you know, all of these ceremonies that we celebrate in church. What is the significance? What is the meaning? What God has done for us and why we celebrate or why we remember these special days. So children will also have a clear understanding. And this is not just because we have to do it because God has instructed us and it's the importance of teaching them at the very young age. The next one is Deuteronomy chapter 31, verses 12 to 13. Can somebody read that, please? Gather the people together, men and women and little ones and the strangers who is within your gates, that they may hear that they may fear the Lord your God and carefully observe all the words of His. And that the children who have not known it may learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to poses. So here we see that Moses is 120 years old. He knows that it's time for him to go and so God chooses another leader, Joshua, and Moses is instructing the people, the laws. And we see here that he's saying gather the people or assemble the people and he's not leaving out children. He says not even leaving out women. He says gather men, women and children so that they can listen to the law of the Lord. And Thomas, your version says little ones, right? Thomas, your version, do you read little ones? I thought I heard it. Okay. So here we see that little ones where we think of children, we think children may be 9th, 10th standard or 8th, 9th, 10th grade.  Even the smaller ones bring them so that they can hear the words of the Lord and the fear of the Lord will come upon them and they will be able to carefully observe all the commandments and the laws that God has given them. And he says that children who do not know this law must hear it and learn it and fear the Lord your God as long as you live. So he's saying that your children's children who are going to come up, children who are not yet born, children who are going to be born, make sure that you teach them, make sure that they hear these words so that they can fear the Lord and they can live in the land of promise because they are living in obedience to God's word and His commandments. Then we have Psalms chapter 78 verses 1 to 8 here. The psalmist is saying that, you know, asking the people to hear the teachings, to listen to the words of his mouth. And he says, do not hide this from your children. Okay. He says, we will not hide it from their children, but we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power and the wonders he has done. And the psalmist is here saying that we need to tell the children the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord and the power and what he has done, the wonders he has done because he has commanded this to our forefathers. What is he commanded this to our forefathers? He's saying that God has commanded our forefathers to teach their children so that the next generation would know him. Even the children yet to be born and even they in turn would tell their children. So he says, pass it on from generation to generation and pass it on from generation to generation, not when they become adults, but when their children keep passing it on. So that, why is he saying, you know, pass on these laws and commandments to children and to their children? He says, so that they can put their trust in God. They will not forget his deeds. They would keep his commandments and they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation whose heart was not loyal to God and whose spirits were not faithful to him.  You know, they can easily mold them. And the example is given here of, you know, mostly when people are trying to train and teach children, they talk about a young plant.  And then we see that the plant will start growing straight and tall. But what happens if it becomes a tree and the, you know, it's no longer a tender stem, but it's a bark, you know, you can't move the tree. Whatever you do, you cannot change the position or the shape or in the direction in which it is growing. So even when it comes to children and adults, children are like that tender plant. They're easy to, you know, train them to teach them and guide them so that they will grow straight in the ways of the Lord. They will walk in the paths of the Lord.  Okay. So we see that, you know, the importance God gives for training children in God's word. Jeremiah chapter 32 verses 38 to 41 talks about how, you know, children are an integral part of the covenantal community. And we saw that even when in Abraham's the references that we read in Genesis chapter 17 that, you know, the covenant would be passed on from generations to generations when you tell them and you teach your children and when they follow the circumcision. Right. So we see that children are also an important integral part of the covenantal community. We can't, you know, overlook them. It's not only the older people or the youth were part of the covenantal community or the covenantal promises of God, but also children. And this is what we read in Jeremiah chapter 32 verses 38 to 41. Can somebody read that please? They shall be my people and I will be their God and I will keep them one heart and one way that they may fear me always for their own good and for the good of their children as a them. I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them to do their good and I will put the fear of me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from me. For them to do them good and will have that with all my heart and with all my soul. Thank you, Dave. So here we see that the God is saying that I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Okay, says with their children and their children's children. And I'll put the fear of them in their heart, fear of me in their heart so that they do not turn away from me. So here we see that, you know, the covenant that God gave Abraham was not just for him, but also for his children's children. And here we see that, you know, God promising that he will be the God of his people and they shall be his people and that he will give them one heart and one way and that so that they can fear him and he will establish an everlasting covenant with them. So we see that children are an integral part of the covenantal community. The next thing we'll see that children are also part of the corporate worship of the community of Israel. So we saw that, you know, in the biblical mandate that God has for children or the biblical basis or the biblical mandate for children's ministry, we see that God has planned for children, that is, you know, the family, the concept of family that was in God's mind. And we see that God had this whole plan also of training not only adults and youth in God's word, but also children. And we also see in the covenantal community or the community of Israel, we see that children are also part of the corporate worship, okay? Children are also part of the corporate worship. So the biblical pattern for a family is that all young and children all come together in praise, in worship, in prayer, in repentance, in hearing the word as read from the Torah from the law and also that it is God's plan for children also to receive salvation and to be filled by the Holy Spirit. So we see that the biblical pattern for family is for all of them, you know, any age group to come together in worship, in praise, in prayer, repentance, reading, and hearing of the scripture and salvation, okay? So let's look at the Psalms chapter 148 verses 12 to 13. Can somebody read that please, Psalm 148, 12 to 13, yes. Girls and young men, all people and children too. Let them all praise the name of the Lord. His name is greater than any others. His glory is above the earth in heaven. Thank you. So here it says that, you know, let young men and women, old men and children, let them all praise the name of the Lord for his name alone is exalted. So we see that when it comes to praising and worshiping God that even children are a part of the corporate worship in a family or in the community or at church as we look at in the present day, okay? Children are also part of the prayer, you know, aspect in the family setup or in church. So let's look at the second chronicles, chapter 20 verses 12 to 13. Now second chronicles, chapter 20 is talking about how, you know, Jehoshaphat is faced with these three huge armies that are coming to fight against him. And so King Jehoshaphat tells all the people, you know, to fast, including children, including animals. And he asked all of them to come to the temple to seek the Lord. And this is what we read in verses 12 to 13. It says, our God will you not judge them for we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us.  All the men of Judah with their wives and children and little ones stood there before the Lord.  They don't keep away the children at home, but the children are also part of this aspect of seeking the Lord, waiting upon the Lord, praying and asking the Lord to help them. And also, you know, children are also, I think we're fasting because it was the King who asked everyone to fast. Then we see that children are also part of the repentance aspect that comes when it comes to a community worship or a family worship time or a church. Okay, so repentance here we read in Ezra chapter 10 verse one, while Ezra was praying and confessing and weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God. This is because he was repenting for the sins of the whole people of Israel and what they have done.  Okay, maybe we can say that children may not know what is happening, but they would have asked their parents, their parents would have said, we have sinned against God and so this is how we repent, this is how we ask for forgiveness, okay? So we see that children were also part of the community or the family time or their children can also be part of the repentance time that we as a church do when we repent of our sins and ask God for forgiveness. Often we think that during praise and worship or during prayer time or when we're having fasting prayer, let the children be outside playing or let them just be doing things, give them something to color, but it's also good to have children in the room or children where we're having a time of fasting and praying and get them to also to observe if they're in a position to even fast, they can do so so that they can learn at a very young age what is corporate worship, what is worshiping God, what it means to repent of our sins, what it means to pray, what it means to give thanks to God so they can learn at a very young age and fast. But here we see that children were also part of the fasting part of the repentance time when the people of Israel were repenting of their sins so we can also involve children in our family time of fasting and prayer if you have that or also in your church. The next thing is children were also part of the community of Israel when the scripture was being read. Nehemiah chapter eight verse two, can somebody read that please? Nehemiah chapter eight verse two. So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the president brought the law before the assembly which was made up of men and women and all were able to understand it. Thank you. So here we see that when Ezra described the teacher of the law and he brought out the law we need to know that in the Old Testament times not everyone had the book of the law like we have the privilege of the Bible in our hands. We can even have children's Bible, youth Bible, any age have Bible is different versions but in the New Old Testament times they just had one Torah the law that was there and the scribe or the priest would read it out and all the people would stand and listen. And so here we see that when Ezra the priest was reading out the law, the people who were listening to it were not only men, women, but all who were able to understand. That means children who were also able to understand were part of hearing the reading of the scripture. So even in our church today or in children's church we can get children to read the Bible. I'm quite amazed when I, or I'm quite startled I must say that when in children's church when we ask children to read the Bible they find it so difficult to read God's word. And even if they're in grade six or grade seven and I'm wondering why because they have these huge textbooks and they're used to reading their lessons but why are they so finding it so difficult to read the Bible is because it's not familiar with the whole passage. Even if it's a very simple familiar passage that we ask them to read, they can't read because they're not used to reading God's word. But we see that the importance of them not only hearing the scripture, but also reading. So not only read out scripture passages for children but also get them to read their Bible. And then for the book that God has given them and we need to also instill the same thing in our children to read God's word. And this can happen when we do it from a very, very young age. So we see that in the, you know children who are part of the community of Israel they were part of hearing the reading of the scripture. Before we close, we'll just look at the last point on salvation, okay? So salvation is not only for adults but we can also lead children into accepting Jesus in Lord and Savior. And we saw in the beginning this class that more than half of the people who accept Jesus do so before the age of 12. So Acts chapter two verses 38 and 39 says and Peter said to them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are part of everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. So here it's for everyone who God calls who God works in their hearts who those who are opened and receptive to receiving Jesus Christ as their personal savior. So not only salvation but also here we see that the promise of the Holy Spirit the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also for children. So we don't have a senior Holy Spirit and a junior Holy Spirit but we just have one Holy Spirit who works both in an older person in an old man and a old woman and an adult and a youth and the same Holy Spirit can also work in a child's life. So we see that salvation is also for children. They can also accept Jesus as their Lord and savior and they can also receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, okay? So we'll end class here. Anyone has any comments, anything you like to share any questions that you have just take one or two minutes and then we'll end class. Anything you all want to say anything that impressed your heart? Any, so, okay, just couldn't say she's received something new, okay? Anyone else, any questions? No? Okay, then thank you, have a good day and I'll see you next Monday for this class. Okay, bye everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye.

Good morning. Unfortunately. I was picked to do this No seriously I Wanted to take a moment and and we have to acknowledge and thank some some people behind the scenes with this So the first day the 10 groups behind me the 10 other union presidents. We got together Like like Commissioner Campion said, this is the largest the coalition that we had together put together And we work together as a group. We all had our different views we all talked about it respectfully and came to a point that we were able to go forward and discuss a Future with the contract in during this round. This is my third coalition As the union president of the LBA and like like Commissioner Campion said, this is the second between us two I Really have to take a moment to thank her and her team. I don't know how she does it She has three she's juggling eight balls in the air and has to keep them all up at the air at the same time And every time you call she answers the phone she gets back to you her team gets you like listen We don't always agree and that's fine, but it's respectful We get back and the one thing that in our business that's really important is is truth and honesty And she always kept to a word and that's all we're asking for and she's always done that and her team I really appreciate Renee everything you've done for us and this doesn't get done without the leadership from City Hall and the mayor we sat down like I said, it's my third coalition and When you sit down it reflects what City Hall feels about your unions and what you do for living And it was clear right from the beginning that this was going to be a respectful thoughtful contract To to acknowledge the men and women that stand behind us, you know We're coming out of covert getting back to normal what normal is in this world today We no one knows but we're getting back to some normalcy, but during the covert times Which isn't that long ago? The men and women we represent behind us had to come to work every day Every day they had to come to work. I was a lieutenant during 9-eleven and I had to go home at the end of the day But I've never worried about my family getting sick from the dust that I was breathing in I just left my clothes in the driveway and that was the end of it when these men and women went home from work With Colvin the invisible virus you had to worry about your family your wife your husband your kids your grandparents And they went to work every day. We don't have the option to work from home Sanitation has to go to work every day and clean the streets plow the streets fire has to go to work every day They have to go to that burning building get people out and put the fire out Corrections has to go work every day into the correctional facilities and and keep some very dangerous people inside So they don't go out and hurt New Yorkers and then the NYPD has to go out every day And deal with you know people that are running around with guns and knives and people that are having emotional distress getting into the hospital We don't have the option to work from home And we're in a unique position today to have a mayor of the city of New York that has done this before So when he says he understands he truly does understand because he wore the badge He wore the bulletproof vest. He understands so again This is a big moment for us, but this doesn't happen without the gardens from City Hall in the mayor So I really want to appreciate it may and we all do back here understand where this comes from and we thank you for this Thank you If you on on topic into some of the topic Outside to 12 hours in Renee, I don't even touch on that, but I think you know the president of the LBA said it best They can't do this remotely You can't put out a fire from home.  That's uniqueness about the men and women that they represent This is not a remote profession This profession ensures that other people can do things remotely because they're there making sure the city is safe clean and Free from destruction So Renee is there any flexibility you want to talk about? Sure, so just to sort of clarify. This is the uniform coalition agreement for the economics for the economic term each union will now come back to my office and Negotiate their separate unit agreements that will include my working with each of the uniformed agencies in talking about different non-economic discussions and also how How they if they at any point want to move around any of the money that's already Invited in the contract, but the economic terms are set So regarding the SBA contract to former president No, in that case is going through the system You know, I think that's that has no indication of the great Leadership that the SBA has and the men and women who wear that sergeant shell When you talk about front line of those men and women are on the front line other front line Being our front line supervision. And so I think when the individual does something wrong I should not tarnish those who are carrying out their job every day and in no way Was that part of the contractual negotiations? Did the controller did the controller perform an audit on this? Of of who? Of the SBA His name is brad lander I think you gotta you gotta reach out to him And find out what actions he took Was commissioner sol involved in these negotiations and was she an important part of it? And if so, why isn't she here today? All of our commissioners have feedback and input In these negotiations of commissioners who this is her final two weeks She has a lot to do and you know, we had a great conversation this morning As she continues to complete two weeks and do the briefing that I need of what's going on But she's represented to represent it here today by the first deputy commissioner so The cost of the contract is already in part it already in the budget And the total cost is four billion dollars So we haven't started bargaining yet with the ems locals they are a local two locals actually Under dc-37 The contract that we settled in february for them did not actually directly Impact them Except to the extent of course it it does set the pattern But the uh, we will be bargaining with them And I look forward to those conversations No, you know you guys know I don't talk about private conversations Um, so now the city has now negotiated several expensive contracts with unions several expensive contracts with unions Are there cuts expected to the city budget? Of these are fair contracts And I think far too long We've asked the men and women to make sure our families are safe Without realizing that they have families too Of these husbands and wives and sons and daughters and caregivers of you know, we just have really not understood that of you know public protection Is the foundation of our city and you know, I ran on that I made it clear that safety is everything And I'm not going to just talk to talk of any new yorker that states They don't want to make sure a correction officer is paid a good salary to keep some of the dangerous people From harming themselves and others or the 10,000 guns that were removed off the streets of the city of new york Or how the cities continue to get cleaner and cleaner This is how we enjoy the fabric of our city. So this is not an expensive contract This is an investment in the infrastructure of our city This is the backbone of our city right here that's standing with me and whatever we have to do To keep them happy Is what we need to do because I want to be happy and our citizens want to be happy. So this is not expensive This is a great investment Okay, let's do a few off topic. Thanks. Thanks folks. Thanks Michael, I'm sorry. Jonah got Jonah gets the cord Jonah Jonah must call you now that you're wearing a tie Two questions. Are you or is anyone in the administration Making kind of a behind the scenes push to keep her on as commissioner First, I did a I did a lengthy On topic off topic the other day talking about the commissioner As of that day That book is closed There's no more conversations. I'm having on that I've answered all the questions. I'm going to answer. I have a city to run I was blessed to have a great commissioner Who assisted in bringing down crime and we're looking forward to the next chapter In the NYPD's very rich history, but I have no more questions on commissioner sue that I'm going to answer And there were some kind of legal issues to get hashed out Do you have any clarity on what those issues are how they can be kind of addressed? I think that leading this challenge of the migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic And I as I always say the good generals leave from the front They don't send their troops into battle and ask how was the war They lead them into battle. And so the symbolism of saying, hey, I'm willing to Put a homeless family And Gracie is that symbolism there seems to be some legal issues with that the law department looked at it And we're never going to break the law. And so, uh, we'll be able to know what we can do and what we can do as a symbolism I'm saying I'm willing to open up the people's house to the people of this city Hi mayor Adam He made an accusation that um, I guess it was, uh, he said he'd get the broomstick which had echoes of the Apriolina case just a moment. Uh, your take on him and read the story if you've talked about it I might have just been some rumors that he could replace, I won't mention the school, but I don't want to get your take on that story and some perhaps some concerns I'm not familiar with that with that case Uh, I know that commissioner caban Is a Is a professional he Served in some extremely difficult assignments in brookly north during some very difficult periods of time His long rich history in the department his family members Is his dad was a transit cop, you know during the time Of when, you know, it was hard being a transit cop And I think that he is a an optimum professional and so I don't know the rumors that are flying around room nine Okay, the chat I don't know what's what they're saying what they're saying But you know for the next few days we have a commissioner and when it's time to announce any new commissioner We make sure that we give you the scoop You know after we tell the whole press corps, you know But uh, you know, I'm not familiar with that ccrb and I don't know when it happened How long ago it happened, but you know, it's imperative that we always are professional when we out when we out there Your government What I discovered, you know And I want to go back to what I keep saying over and over again that I don't think it has really resonated with a lot of people I am one of the few mayors if any that Has actually been in city agencies And the biggest challenge in city agencies Is the fact that there are too many silos So we have a public safety apparatus parks police department of correction nypd Uh Homeland service police Hospital police we have all of these pieces That when we have major incidents We're unable to mobilize a full complement of public safety So I wanted a deputy mayor of public safety that would look at all of those entities And we need be to make sure that we are in alignment With the day-to-day plan and execution It's a great idea. I had a former chief of department who understood law enforcement Uh, and he came in and he did he's doing an amazing job And you know, there's so many things that happened behind the scene That's crucial for the functionality of how we use our public safety apparatus and it has worked well for the city You know crime is down New technology has been introduced the partnerships We're having with corporate america to come in and assist us in public safety When you start looking at some of the things that we are doing because we have that deputy mayor of public safety It is just really commendable. It was a it was a brilliant brilliant idea on the person who thought about it Oh, that was me, you know, you know, so it was just a real win Case Tuesday that is somewhat similar to the gordon nealy annual penny case A man on the subway Stabbed another Possibly emotionally disturbed man who was harassing passengers getting violent with passengers. He was immediately Arrested his lawyer is claiming Possible racism or a double standard because he is saying well, why aren't the police investigating more before arresting his client? meanwhile Daniel penny was out almost two weeks before he was arrested. Can you comment on that? Do you have any thoughts on that? Do you think there was a double standard or race at play this man who was arrested and who is now claiming self-defense is black versus Daniel penny who was white? uh The wheels are just as grind slowly but exceedingly fine as dr. King once said in some way or another That process is behind my control. We have a criminal justice system I really respect our criminal justice system It doesn't always get the results that I want personally But uh, it is a system and that system is going to run its course And it is very challenging to look at case a and say why did this happen here in case b? Why didn't happen here? That is extremely challenging to do and From a distance that is how people respond and understand. I understand that but if our criminal justice system operated on that That would be that would be frightening for me Yes To spend the 90 day rule for executive action Um, and then also thinking about vetoing the package from council bills to expand city feps Are those two things that you're considering doing? We um, we did not put out a an advisory that of doing either of those items Of the amazing kind hearted gentle loving care and fabian leavey will let you know When we go when we're going to make any announcement until we So Once we make that decision we'll we'll let you know how we're going to flow Everything is on the table. We've had multiple conversations of wherever we can get space We are looking at but again, I want to emphasize this is not sustainable This can't be a game of let's see if we can find space this week Of this problem must be resolved We must have federal intervention real immigration reforms from the from congress We need to allow the migrant asylum seekers to work, which is just beyond Comprehension while we're not doing this now, but any plan that is hey, let's cross our fingers and hope we can find space Is a floored plan, but we do want the state to do their share We saw that in white planes in albany two different groups of governance one is those two Locals are saying let's step up. Let's do our part while at the same time. We have other municipalities That benefit from new york city is trying to find creative ways to be discriminatory But this is a state and federal problem. It's not a new york city only problem We ask for every space that's possible


Welcome back to yet another video if you appreciate the dedication then do smash the like button in this video What we're going to go through is my top Spax to buy now the Spax that are getting really good to really cheap Really stupidly cheap levels, which I think is going to move up rapidly into some higher gains We'll go through all these in this video my price action my price targets Where I see these stops going and all of that good stuff all in this one video So do remember if you like that to smash the like button will get right into the information I've got to say I'm not a financial advisor I'm a business teacher But I buy no means an expert on the stock market And if you want to hear about the latest stocks or latest penny stocks that I'm looking or interested in or Ones that I see as a potential buying opportunity before then do hit the join button and join the stock club there Let's go into this information here in terms of all the stocks Let's get right into it and to respect your time So the first one that I'm talking about as you can see on screen here is TDAC. Okay, it's a Cassimbal TDAC This is Trident Acquisition Okay, and this is meant to be merging with Lottery.com Okay, so this is involved in the Lottery sector in that sense now I do see this one as a high growth revenue stock I think that they're going to grow their revenue massively into the future Being involved with Lottery.com and it did actually reach $15.63 at one point in its in its Well, it's high of it. The highest it's gone is $16 and 87, right? So actually what I'm saying is it $12.28 if you can get this Kind of towards that $11.20 to $11.40 range I see that you could ride this up as a potential swing trade You know 20, 30, 40 percent and take some nice healthy profit on this as we get We're in this correction at the moment. You can pick up a lot of these batch stocks Incredibly cheap which I see moving up into the future and this is one of them I think you can get a sort of 20 to 40 percent swing trade on the typical ticker symbol here is TDAC Trident Acquisition, I'm not sure in terms of long term on this actually I'm not sure I'm saying potential swing trade some of the others that I'm going to talk about potential long-term though The next one I've got for you is a company that I really like which is ACIC This is merging with a company called Archer and it's involved in the VTOL aircraft space This now look at that. It's just dropped under 11. What I like to see there now if you can catch this at any Anywhere under $11 if you can catch this at like $10 30 $10 50 I see this as a massive buying opportunity And I think this one when the market does recover when we do get the sort of correction over right I see this is going to be one of those stocks that recovers fast Okay, so it's recent highs so it's recent eyes are $18 60 I see this one recovering fast to that level after the market correction and again It's a $10 floor So if you can get this as close to $10 as possible just hold on to it through the current market conditions And hold on to it to sort of 15 to $18 Which I see it going to right and you could sell for a swing trade But also I see with ACIC and Archer. I see some long-term. I see I see I see Right, I see a lot of long-term potential, right? I do see this company moving up a lot into the future. I do think it's in an innovative space I think that you could hold this long-term or you could swing credit The next one I've got for you is Vector Acquisition Court. Take a symbol VACQ we're going to like the video if you're enjoying this VACQ now these are merging with Rocket Labs and this is involved in the space industry This is a one point over a one trillion dollar one trillion dollar industry This this is going to be massive Massive industry here and this is involved in this and they've got fair smoother advantage in some of the stuff that they're doing in the Space industry go watch my latest video my recent video on this penny on this penny So on this back go watch my recent one I go into it in depth and all the full detail for you So it's my last video. I'll put it at the end of this one So watch this one to the end and then click on that towards the end It's my last video very interesting space right 12 dollars 31 If you can get this as close to the $10 range as possible of course to limit your downside But if you can get it around this sort of $11 range that could be perfect really And I think that this one could move back up to $15 very easily But beyond I could see this one moving up to $16 to $18 and beyond that into the future I think it's got a long-term potential The next one is a PXT Okay, and this is an incredibly cheap company It's merging with a point and if you look at its competitors compared to its competitors The valuation and you know that in terms of the price per share and the PE ratio Etc the valuation is actually quite good compared to its competitors in the field itself, right now This again $10 floor if you can get this as it goes to this low $11 range I see this as a massive buying opportunity If point is involved in the data field in terms of the cloud computing space I do see this one moving up. They've also got what seems to be and this is just my opinion in my Observation what seems to be from the interviews I've listened to from this from the from the CEO of this company What seems to be a very smart individual and I like companies that've got smart people at the top of their companies Because that's what is really important because they're going to be leading the companies towards the future. So I do like this one 52 week high of $17 didn't mean to click on that $17 90 Okay, I see that moving up definitely back to those 52 week highs to the $17 range I think in the long term, this is going to be a 20 to $25 stock easy Okay, and that's my opinion And then the last one we've got here is a looser energy acquisition. So this is Take a symbol a l us and this is actually merging with a Battery company an EV battery company that is in in Norway. I believe it's Norway and This is one that I've done on bit. I've done before actually I've talked about this one before and again If you can get this close to the $10 range, it's actually going to that now $10 47 Brilliant stuff if you catch this at $10 20 $10 30 $10 50 is close to that $10 range is possible Then you're maximizing your upside and I do see this one moving back up to 14 to $15 quite easily, but in the long term I could see this going to 17 to $20.

So a couple years back for me was the first time I actually fully quit my job and went full-time into my business now This was a multiple year dream It took me over three years and three months every single night and every weekend Working on my business before I could actually make enough money to quit my job and I wasn't balling by any stretch It was like enough just to live like a low full-time income now in this video I want to answer a reader question on how I would go about Doing what I did basically if you have a day job you need to pay your rent But there's something you're passionate about on the side How do you actually transition to that when you have already nine or ten hours of the day occupied and you come home tired? What's up guys? I'll a time here author of the book master the day So I want to answer my buddy Steven's question when he asked hey, man. I'm still following your journey I'm currently struggling with the dilemma that I have a great job at a startup But my passion has always been music and singing I'm creating an EP right now and planning to release it by summer as a side thing to see if I would get traction or Would be curious on your perspective. I hope you're doing well now Here's the thing you're gonna hear a lot of advice from people that say like to burn the ships that famous Alexander the greater whoever's quote that they were on this battlefield They landed and the general gave the command to burn all the ships because then the men either were basically dying Or they were gonna go home in the enemy ships essentially and the rumor the story the legend is that they won because of that Well, I don't know about you, but we're not in war We're trying to build a business Hopefully or do something we're passionate about on the side until we can transition to doing it full-time now I personally tried burning the ships multiple times and in fact, I quit my job every six months Until I could eventually fully quit it and make enough income so what that meant was that I always kept one part-time job 20 hours a week and I would quit the second job every six months thinking that this was gonna be it and it never was What was much smarter that I eventually did was I just accepted this was gonna take longer than I thought and No matter how long it took I was gonna persist until I made it happen and it took me over three years I thought it would take six months So it usually will take longer than you think but it's of course it's worth it and This is the way I would go about doing it because this is the way I did go about doing it So the first thing revolves around the way you use your time now for me What I would recommend is you probably have a nine to five and if you do there's a couple things to keep in mind The first being if you can get a job that pays you just enough to live But is very very not demanding on your time if it is not demanding people don't need to report to you your boss Isn't on your ass all day That's the best case scenario because you can tune out put all your mental emotional energy into what you're trying to build what you're passionate about and Honestly have these nine to fives like what do you work like two three hours of real work a day? I mean, that's how many of my jobs were You could sneak in at least an hour or two of your business Even if it's just thinking and strategy and reading during that time But the key thing is that if you can find the least demanding job possible just to pay our bills do it That's what I did personally and eventually if they let you have like a remote agreement or work from home Scale down the hours until it's maybe 30 instead and only 10 at home and then you could slack on the ones at home So the first thing was that if you can reduce the day job to make it less demanding and just make enough just to live Because all your mental energy and all your work is going to be going into building a better future Now the second thing that I did was I would time block every single night three hours for my business And here's the way I did it the first thing was that because I worked a nine to five It took a lot of energy. I would go to the gym for more energy. I had my dinner packed I would go right to a cafe from seven o'clock at night until 10 p.m. At night And I would have my my dinner essentially sit down in that cafe and do three hours Seven days a week.  You'll be done by 10 o'clock You could go home watch an hour or two of Netflix and then get up for your job Plenty of time to do that. So what do you actually do in these three hours? So let's say you like Steven want to be a musician or an artist This is what I would focus on Dedicate one hour towards each core skill you need to focus on and learn. So for example, if your musician the first hour might be Making the music like actually creating being good at your craft or being good at your skill The second hour would be studying sales and marketing like how am I going to get paid? Enough to quit my job. Whether that is a thousand a month or three thousand a month or five thousand a month Whatever your number is to comfortably quit your job to not stress That hour is dedicated to how do I make money? How do musicians make money? I don't know a youtube channel with youtube ad revenue merchandise selling singles selling music on itunes Brand deals. I don't know you have to research it and figure out and dedicate that one hour to what are you doing to make money? It doesn't matter if you like it doesn't matter if you want to do it You have to do it if you want to be able to pay your rent And then the third hour would be dedicated towards growth like how do I build a business? Dedicate that hour to the actual study and improvement of your skills Like I didn't know how to I don't know anything about business Nothing. I was just a personal trainer who wanted an online business. That's all I knew Now five years later four years later whatever it is I have five books on amazon Over a hundred thousand youtube subscribers full-time income and i'm in med school like I didn't see any of this I didn't know how to do any of this you are a human being not a slug you can figure this out So what I would do is you dedicate that third hour to how does this all come together? Like what is the business strategy? I have to learn and for me that meant learning sales and marketing The two words no one wants to learn but everyone who's successful has to learn And then from there like understanding the the umbrella of an online business, which means content Leads to some kind of email form probably and then that leads to Educating people and selling your products or your merch or your ep or whatever it is So dedicate the first hour to your skill become amazing at music make your music do your craft paint right? Whatever it is the second hour is sales and marketing that is your quit your job plan Hardcore only think about money the third hour is the growth plan. Where does this all come in? What skills do I have to learn? How do I create youtube videos? How do I write content? How do I create a business? How do I even sell what is sales? What is the word marketing? What does it even mean? And when you have this regimented Part approach you could literally have a notebook or an evernote document with each strategy You're testing out in each one of those domains And that's exactly what I did because you have to both be good at what you do Study business and then figure out the whole process of sales and marketing To actually have something that allows you to quit your job Now the last thing that people often don't mention is how the hell do you keep going? How do you do the motivation part? Right, it took me three years and three months and 11 days to quit my job And i'll tell you it sucked The whole process sucked it was not like I was jazzed about my passion because Fitness isn't really my passion. I love personal development, but Chinese medicine now is much more of a passion But I didn't know what I was passionate about. So how did I keep going? Now the biggest thing first of all honestly was pain. I just wanted to quit my job for so many years It was the pain that drove me, but tactically it was having a weekly mastermind group Now I house I actually have a personal free mastermind and I have a paid mastermind for students So if you want you can check out the mastermind in the description link there below But the key thing is to pick two or three friends that are ambitious and they want to change their life And every week all you do is you do a 30 minute call where each of you takes five minutes To describe what you're working on what you're struggling with and then you can help each other problem solve and keep going And that by itself has been the main habit that has allowed me to keep going For four or five years, especially when a lot has happened in between All those jobs I quit that I thought I would not have to take up again But I did my best friend committing suicide, you know dating a girl for five years in that relationship ending Starting and continuing med school and yet I haven't quit at all and it's not because I'm special It's because I have systems and habits in place So that is what I would consider if you want to build your passion and build your freedom plan in the long run Don't quit your job Just accept the process don't resist it internally. You'll make yourself sick like I did Except no matter how long it takes I'll keep going Have that mastermind dedicate one hour per day to the skills you need And you know before you know it eventually you're going to be there and whether it takes you one year or 10 years Who gives a crap, right? Like you're going to have to work for the next 40 50 60 years, right? So you might as well start building the plan towards doing what you love At least that was my philosophy. All right guys, so I hope that helps your action step is down there below Let me know for you. What is your passion? I want to know I'm very curious What's up guys? I hope that video helps. This is a very important video near and dear to my heart It's a process. I went through it took a very long time and it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life so far So don't underestimate it, but also don't quit now the best way to stay in touch If you want to start my weight loss and personal development challenge go to modern health monk.com forward slash youtube It's also in the description there below And in addition you can check out my latest two videos right here and right here And otherwise I will catch you in the next video

How to choose a good gaming name or find good gamer tags? A gamer's first thing they do no matter what is find a gamer tag. Today I will show you how you could pick a good one for you and you'll probably never have to change it again. There are main ideas I want to cover like how to be creative with names, simple names and how to find a good gamer tag that fits you. Most gamers use their game tags because they want to hide their identity or have something that looks cool. One way you can make your gaming tag to stand out is if you just put your name in it. For example, if your name is Joe and you're funny, use Joestar as an example or something like that. That was really bad of me but or you can choose your last name for example. My last name is actually my so my gaming tag is my gaming which is also my channel. Also keep all gaming tags sorted in like 12 letters because in some games they restrict an amount of letters you can have in your name. Plus no one wants to read all that and if you don't want to include your name that's totally fine because the next way you can build a good gamer tag is by keeping it simple. By picking something that is like one word and getting creative with it. For example CypherPK said his name came from Psychopathic but he changed up the spelling and added PK at the end. An example would be Celery. You can just replace the C with an S and boom your username is Celery but it isn't taking because the name of a C might have been taken. Just don't add numbers to these simple gaming tags because that kind of ruins the clean look of it especially if you have a rare name. Another way is to think about something in game. For example if you're looking for a fornet gamer tag OG underscore sweat under 69 would not be a bad idea because it kind of relates to fornet and it's kind of funny. Now if you still have no clue on what you want your game tag to be look for one of those gamer tag generators or lists and build off them. Only use these if you really have like no clue because they generally won't fit most gamers and literally sound like some third grader made them. YouTubers and streamers on the other hand would have to do a lot more so if you want to stream listen up. Obviously putting TTV or YT in your name is pretty sick.  Also when you're picking a streamer name check if it's already been taken on Twitch, YouTube or IG because most streamers regret having numbers or underscores in their names because it just looks bad and let's say building a company for example. No one wants merch from a name like panadbear underscore 3000. You don't have to put YT or TTV if you're a streamer but I do find it helpful if people want to reach out to me. It won't make you famous but it's still a way to get some exposure though it's hard dealing with those sweats. This vid was pretty quick so if you made it here thanks for watching and let's have a discussion about this in the comments below.


Sweden sends new submarines to Baltic Sea to confront Russia. Sweden will send two new submarines to the Baltic Sea to confront Russia, states Politico. The new 66-metre diesel-electric submarines named Blekinge and Skandne after two Swedish counties and designed to patrol NATO's eastern borders in the Baltic Sea will be launched in 2027 and 2028. These are the first new submarines built by Sweden since the mid-1990s and they will join four older ships in the Scandinavian nation's fleet. The upcoming Swedish launches highlight the submarine fleet renewal in Northern Europe, where the Norwegian Navy recently ordered four new submarines from Germany's Faisenkrupp Marine Systems. The Netherlands has received proposals from Faisenkrupp Marine Systems, Saab, Cochums and France's naval group for the construction of four submarines while Denmark, which got rid of its fleet in 2004, recently suggested that it might abandon the move. According to a report by the Swedish Defence Research Agency, this expansion will partially close the gap with NATO's largest European fleets, which are set to grow slightly this decade. Six new French Barracuda-class submarines are entering service and two more Type-212s will join the existing German fleet of six. By the end of the decade, the UK will have seven astute-class submarines and the Italian Tadaro-class fleet will have eight.
