All right, thank you. Yeah, butter, what was it like being a free agent and signing with the Falcons here? Oh, well, I'm going to be real. Being a free agent was not good because I didn't want to get released. But you know, man, things happen. No injuries occurred. It was a step behind me now. So overcame that, man, went through a little tough time, went through a little tough right with injuries, man. And one later after another, I had to overcome that and just get on my best ability with my body. But no Falcons opportunity with the Falcons presented itself and it came at a better time. You know, at this point in my career, you know, being close to home, working here with opportunity to work with a program that's developing and trying to go out and win. And what, how do they say you would fit in the defense? Fit in the defense, you know, just normal as Russia runs, stopper on the end, being able to come in there right away with some experience, a better mentality, toughness, and just do my best I can do to make as many plays as I can. Does it help that, you know, AJ Terrell and some of the other guys that saw you at their camp last summer there? Yeah, man, those boys, you know, from everyone in Georgia kind of knows about each other, knows about how we were raised and everything of that nature. Try to, me personally, I try to touch as many players as I can. So they got a camp I'm going to try to pull up. If they got any events of that nature, I want to be able to come along because, you know, it just makes it that much better as a, you know, as a for the community, for football, not just for the thousand, but for the NFL in general. The injuries, how are you right now? Oh, I'm a hundred percent perfect. Excited to go training every day, no restrictions, ready to pull the full health season together. When did you feel like you were out? Actually, at that point. What point you're saying? That's where you're like, OK, I'm sure you're good. So, like the end of the season last year, I tore my pick and that was a bummer because I just had got done with a hip flexor injury that I was dealing with on both sides and, you know, just having the time to sit back and rewind and try to connect the dots from backwards and knowing what I didn't do, knowing the things that I did too much of, knowing what I can do to prevent it from this point on. And it just makes you really tap into your inner self, tap into your training more, you know, tap into, you know, just your personal lifestyle with what you have to do or more. So, you know, man, I had time to reflect, got that all situated, knowing how to attack it and I'm excited to go back to, man, just playing football for four, 17 weeks, right? What did you change or did you change? Yeah, change, you know, just change. First of all, I train too much if I can.  Yeah, in the past, man, you can't do that all the time when you're an explosive athlete like myself. So, you know, that's thinking you're working hard which you are working hard but you're kind of working backwards because your body needs time to rest and needs time to relax and, you know, everybody's body is different. Once you get to a certain point, you gotta start doing different things. So, I had to accept the fact of that, go out and I feel better than I ever felt. When was the last time you felt this healthy? When was the last full season where you felt like you were at 100%? I would say 2019. That's the full season that I played. Well, 2020, that's the full season that I tore my ACL that year. But still, you know, just leading up into that, leading up into that, man, it was a great opportunity. I felt the same way now, being able to do the things I was doing. Like you said, ACL injury is tremendous. It's tremendous and it affects you mentally. No spirit to everything, man. You have to question yourself about a lot of things. So, you know, over that hump, ready to move forward. Hey, bud, you're part of, you know, this team's obviously invested in a number of really accomplished guys on the defensive side of the ball, including you. What have you thought of, you know, the moves this team's made, bringing in some veterans on defense? I think it's great for the culture. I think it's great for the, you know, for the staff and for this team and for this city. You know, a lot of great guys coming in, man, and it only going to make it better. It's a lot of competition going to go involved.  So, you're 13, I think. So, man, it's exciting to even learn from that type of person, even with me a year or nine, and I wanted to go, you know, I know it'll help Grady out tremendously to be able to have that type of impact in the middle. And no telling about the other guys, man, they're coming along. Everyone's excited to be a part of what it is. I can just sense, you know, in the locker room and the workouts that all these guys, man, are eager.  How does that affect the vibe for this off-season training when there's so many new faces? Yeah, I mean, personally, with me, I feel like I know pretty much a lot of the guys just from, if I played with them, I probably played with them at Tennessee or seen them at Pittsburgh, like a couple of guys that came from Tennessee. And so, I already familiar with them. A couple of guys I trained with in the area, in Atlanta area with them. So, you know, like, it just makes it that more comfortable for me when I walk in. A lot of the younger guys already told me they were studying my family. They watched me when they were younger, when they were coming out of college. So, you know, that just gives you that sense of, man, everyone kind of is already in a twine with each other, whatever you could say that's so. And it's always good to have that comfort when you walk into a space that is a new area.  And that goal is to win. So, no matter, see, no matter how you got here, it's about the goal that we get, that we have when we get here. So, you know, and that's the win. Just curious how it makes you feel when the younger guys come up to you and they say that they watched you growing up. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna feel weird. Yeah, it feel weird. So, you know, man, yeah, what it is at this point, but, man, you know, it's a blessing at the end of the day because a lot of guys don't get to make it this far in the league, no matter if you're a first-round pick. I was first-round pick that still doesn't matter. Make that I was gonna make it this far.  That's all we, that's all we dreamed about. That's all we really wanted to do it. So, now the proof in the pudding for me is to go out here and lead these guys and, you know, show them that, you know, just could you get, you know, kind of establish and lead. You have to go out and work harder and harder to keep your name relevant. And I got chips on my shoulder because I was hurt these last couple years. So, I'm gonna play as hard as I can and play the most violent as I can just to be able to, you know, get back into that mix for myself personally, but also for the team to keep this team alive and, you know, just do what the coaches want me to do. How much do you enjoy just being a veteran and trying to get something out of it too? Yeah, it's dope. It's real dope. The coaches understand that here. They do a great job with that. The players understand that also as well. And man, now you just gotta go out and lead. If you're a veteran, you gotta be able to lead. You know, I do a great job with that. Not only by example, but also, you know, physically as well and verbally sometimes. So, you know, that's a great thing. Going kind of off of what you're talking about with you, the injuries and getting back to a healthy level. How, and how things change as you get older, how do you feel like you're the same guy you were maybe in 2018, 2017, 2019 to where you are today and how do you think you're different? Yeah, so different wise, I would say, you know, when you're younger, you just play out of pre-athleticism.  You know, they haven't really seen your skill set, so it's kind of different. You know, you're fresh off, you know, you can be fast, running four or five and changing direction and bending and fluid.  So that's gonna be, they're gonna stop you. And the older you get, the smarter you get with the game. It comes from reps and it comes from this experience and having in-game experience in training camp experience. Knowing what's gonna really, when to turn it up, what day in training camp is gonna be good, when to not go so hard so you can reserve your body. And when you're in between those lines, man, knowing how to give it your all, but still being smart. And man, that's a big part of getting older. But as it comes with, you know, we're just identifying, identifying things and that's what you really gotta tune in to. You can't ignore things. You gotta just take it to, you just gotta take it. And when it comes to that, you gotta make sure that you're ready to adjust and adapt to a lot of things that will be thrown at you. Because the NFL is, it's a lot of things happen sporadically. So you gotta be able to, you know, like I said, adjust to it. Feel like nine years soon? Nah, man, I feel like three or four. For real, I feel like real quick, I just feel, I remember I got drafted the other day in Chicago. And man, it was a blessing there, man. A lot of people came in, were excited of me going to the stillers. But I would say one thing when I signed to the Falcons, I've never, my phone never blew up that much. Even on draft day, you know, it was a lot of excitement, you know, from stiller nation, but to feel the at home love, I guess people at home like, man, he went to the stillers. But now that I signed to the Falcons, it's crazy like the support, the people who want to see the Falcons do good from, just from my circle as well as, you know, people, who I've been seeing on a daily, since I, because I live in the off season, so people who I normally see in the off season, now they were talking to me, and one of them said he coming to a falcon game with, they knew I was on the stillers and knew I was on the Titans the whole time. And they say none at all. So, you know, it's just funny how that works, man.   As soon as I signed it, I seen them throwing the jerseys away from the stillers and they wanted to, told them they going to buy Falcons jerseys. So, you know, that's always a place that I made some people from Reneek from their friend on fandom. So, that's funny, man, for sure. Mike Davis on here a couple of years ago, he said like he had to manage ticket requests. Like, does that already happen? Yeah, the ticket request going crazy. Ain't a lot. They might have a student section like in high school with bud jerseys on. But, man, I'm gonna have to get with the ticketing people and let them control that. Cause I ain't trying to be dealing with nobody. Hit me up before the game for the tickets. I'm gonna go in and set the record straight for that one.  Don't call me direct. And, you know, it'll be exciting though to see all the love and the people in the stands though. So. If you're talking about how much love you're receiving when you tell your family that this is happening and that you're getting ready to be close to home, what was that reaction? Yeah. Well, at first my kids, when I told my kids we're gonna have to go to another team that was mad cause they really liked the Nashville. They had got accustomed to Nashville cause they got older in Nashville and so I was like that. So I had to tell them like what team we're going to or tell them I'm going to the Falcons. But we're going back to Georgia.  They only, I don't think they, I don't even think they understand like that. I'm still going to the Falcons. But it's exciting though for my older family though. Now everyone's excited that I came back home man and have an opportunity to see me up close, personal, each, every home game they want to. They don't have to plan it. They just can leave the house, come to the game and go back home. So that's always a plus for them and that's to be fun. Sometimes you got to, sometimes we, as players, we forget the experiences that our family and our loved ones get to have during this process. You know, we're so tied into the business that we're so tied into trying to be great and win games that we overlook, you know, the small things which count. You know, your family, man, they're going to have memories for the lifetime. They came to the game and got to South Kyle, Pete, score, touchdown. They get to see, they get to see Grady get a sack. You know, they get to see him up close and personal. He's number 97. I've been watching him the whole time. A.J. Terrell get a pick.  Like, it's different. You know, you hear about it. We thought about it when we was young. We seen guys like Vic them doing the dirty bird and having a great time. But to actually be in the mix of it and be in the culture, man, it's a plus. Like I said, man, the Falcons were my hero growing up. Like, if it was our neighborhood hero growing up, and to be a part of this journey is amazing. Do you ever get a chance to come up here for a game? No, so my first NFL game was a game I played, which was crazy. Oh, sorry. We didn't ask you about Ryan Nielsen. Thought on your new defensive cord day area and kind of what you think about what he's going to bring. I think Ryan is intense, really. And I'll just say this and not just because I'm on the Falcons, but as far as when it comes to passwords, I ain't really never experienced a teacher in a short time already from a coach of that stature. So he's not just putting X's and O's and telling you what to do. He's actually breaking down the passwords. And no matter what level of time you've been in the league, man, you still got room for knowledge. And he's actually really breaking it down and it's the sight of the me. I'm ready to work with him. I'm ready to get active. So it's fine. What was it like when you got the news that you were going to be getting traded to the Falcons? I would say a little bittersweet from the standpoint of the relationships that you form playing for a team for three years. But I was definitely excited about the opportunity to have a fresh start here in Atlanta and kind of new opportunity to wipe the slate clean. And what was that conversation like with Brad? A lot of people talk about how him and Terry ready to work it out and do you have a conversation with him about coming here and getting a fresh start? Yeah, it was pretty brief. Just we feel like this is gonna be the best things for both sides. I ultimately agree with him. And then we just kept him moving from there. And what have they told you about the opportunities here with the Atlanta Falcons? They're pretty excited about my ability, what I'm able to do and man to man press coverage and how it'll compliment the scheme. That's the things that went wrong in the tournament. Where did it start to make you break down for a year or two? You know, I approach the situation, put my best foot forward and sometimes things don't work out how you intend to. So you take those lessons and move on and take those lessons and apply them to a new situation which is here. And I'm excited for this new chapter. What's the lesson maybe that you took the most for those three years and kind of everything you had through there? You know, being in my time at the house state found a lot of success. Didn't really see a lot of lows. So to see those lows and learn the resilience that can come from that going through a person through adversity, it kind of lets you kind of know what kind of man you are. Chet, so you get to know A.J. Tereldal in the pre-draft process, the combine, things like that? Yeah, I've been familiar with A.J. since high school, obviously hearing about the other recruits in the area. And then we played them in Clemson. They stole one from us, obviously. But we trained together last year during the offseason. We have the same DB trainer. So it was really cool getting to a secondary with people that I'm already somewhat familiar with. Oliver Davis? What's that relationship like?  I mean, like I said, it's pretty cool just coming into a situation where even though it's new, you're not completely a new guy. Because we've had conversation dialogue in the past. I'm extremely excited to play with someone of his caliber. And I think we're going to make a lot of plays together. Interesting. I feel like sometimes with corners, you don't get to play beside each other. You're on opposite ends. But with you and AJ, the fact that y'all have this relationship that y'all built already, how do you think that that could translate on the field to be like, hey, I know he's got it, or hey, I know he's does that make sense? Like, how do you think that relationship can translate for you guys? The best way I can compare it to my last year at Ohio State, me in the opposite corner, Damon Arnett, had a really close relationship from my time at Ohio State. And just having that trust and that chemistry with the opposite corner, I think it pays tremendous dividends over the course of a game. Because when you trust that the other guy on the other side is handling his job, I think you play with a different level of confidence. Do you feel like you and AJ kind of already have that maybe foundation established? I think we're laying down the groundwork. It's kind of the grind to be working here, and then big tears after that. Do you feel like it never really, in some ways, got felt like maybe like last year, did you feel like it was a working year for you in some ways because of all that? Or how did you approach that considering Yeah, that's interesting to say that. I say last year, even though it was my third year in the NFL, in a lot of ways it felt like my rookie year because that was the most football that I've played. Probably in two years. My first year, I probably played seven to 10 games. Second year played one game. So in a lot of ways, just playing that much football, there was a lot of new things. When you're away from the game for a while, kind of take some time to get back into it. But I was able to sit down this offseason and take all those lessons I learned, apply them now, and I'm hoping to see a huge growth. What's it been like? I don't know how much the coaches can do, but I guess you've met Steve and Coach Gray. What's it been like working with them thus far? The best way I could describe it is enlightening. Just learning from someone like Coach Gray. Been meeting with him a lot, learning the game, given him a lot of pointers so far, and I've only been here for two weeks. So I'm going to do my part in learning the most I can from him, someone that's been coaching for as long as he's been coaching. I think he has a lot of game to give out.  How good can this defense be? I think the sky's the limit, but at the end of the day, things can look good on paper, but it doesn't really matter to you. You go out there on the field and you prove it.  It's really been really exciting. I think when you're presented with a new opportunity, you can't take it for granted. You try your best to put your best foot forward, and I think when you approach it with that mindset, there's no telling what you can do. Do you come here feeling like you want to prove something or feeling like you're not even thinking about what happened in Detroit and what happened in the past and you're wiping that slate clean? Honestly, as long as I've been playing a game, I've always had the mentality of proving myself no matter when I was coming out of high school with a five-star, coming out of the trap. I think if you keep that mentality, you never get complacent. I wanted to ask you about coming back from the Achilles injuries specifically, because it's just one of those injuries that different players can react differently to. Did you feel like you were at 100% going into the start of last season or was it a bit of a progression in terms of kind of still figuring out kind of where you were physically progressing throughout the year? And following up on that, is there more, potentially, that you feel like you can grow into physically a year on from returning to the field? I think in the moment, I feel like I was 100%. As I'm playing, obviously, staying healthy majority of the season. Within the hindsight, when I sat down with my trainers, my PT people, it was really cool to know that there was another level I could tap into. So I think the room for growth is still there, and haven't reached my athletic peak just yet.


Welcome digital asset news take a top stories and crypto and break them down into bite-sized pieces So today just the thumbnail suggests there is a rumble in the digital jungle and what's going on It's going to be a certain gold bug doing a debate against Alex Machinsky from Celsius I gotta tell you this is a perfect time for the gold bug as the market is dropping. So we're gonna talk about that We're also gonna talk about how Celsius is absolutely crushing it and the things are they're doing which is they're going to do a decentralized exchange Near free swaps and also some pretty big things coming on the pipe I'll take a look at the decentralized exchange for Cardano called Sunday swap and How I am not going to be a stake pull operator in it and why that actually happened and lastly We'll talk about how the mooch is pushing Bitcoin. So we're getting all that stuff But first there's two things you need to go over first the market and second of all that this is a Sponsored video. This is a sponsored video. We don't do too many of these. So when I do it I'm kind of excited and I just won't let you know it's sponsored by Celsius because they reach out to me after yesterday's video and said hey you want to talk about that that debate going down I was like, yes, I would and also would you like to talk about these other things that are going on? Absolutely, so this is a sponsored post by Celsius. Don't do them too much, but I'm glad to have them on board So let's first take a look at what's going on into the market. So today it is Wednesday the 18th I think and the mark cap is took a little tumble. I'll be honest They had 2.58 trillion somewhere on there Bitcoin price had been hitting that 60k mark and There have been some people pushing it pushing it pushing it as far as that 60k But if you keep hitting that that level support so many times eventually the floor gets weakened and it drops out So now we're at 59 five. Can we hit plan B's? projected Bitcoin price of 98k by the end of November who knows it's crypto just stick around you don't like the price It'll change and that's what we have and then over Last I don't know 24 hours or so.  It's pretty good crypto commas up 13 crypto comm just signed a Multi-year deal to rename the staple center for the Los Angeles sports arena to the crypto comm center They paid like I think 400 million dollars. First of all who uses staples anymore. I don't know if that's even open But besides that, I mean crypto comm is just going gangster just by getting all this information Out and just promoting and promoting putting that's good for the whole space. So good for crypto comm I should have picked up more though when I had a chance, but hey, you can't win them all and Also, just real quick as far as like on-chain analysis We can take a look at crypto quant Yes, that video will be out with me and the CEO went over on-chain analysis training I'll have it out.  There was a massive outflow of Ethereum and I know some people said well, that's just cracking just moving things around. I'm like really cracking took off over 15 million one and a half million Ethereum Where they where do I don't know where it went to but that's where we've got enough even take a look at the hour and really break This down we can see that I mean it still continues to decrease now We're at 15.4 million as far as what is on the exchanges as far as Ethereum and just a yesterday We had over 17.6 million So I know some people said oh, but you understand because people are putting Ethereum back on the exchange I'm like that's not what this is talking about. This is the exchange reserve This is how much Ethereum is being taken out of the Market out of the exchange itself and we've seen a huge dip of people just taking it off And then of course if you want to say that it's cracking taken off Okay, but I mean if they took it off and in one end where do they put it? It should be back in their other wallets, but that's not what the data is showing us but could be wrong let me know what you think about in the comment section and Also take her by volume you again. We keep seeing that that 60k mark There's some whales people whatever you want to do. They're still trying to keep it at 60k That seems to be like like the bottom and then of course. This is the big one the leverage ratio and when we start to see a lot of leverage plays as far as like At this 0.2 level. That's all-time highs and we are pretty much and break this down by the hour We are pretty much at an all-time high as far as Leverage plays we can see right here. Actually, no, we just came down So if we take a look at leverage plays people longing and shorting Bitcoin This is on coin glass calm You can take a look at the shorts and the longs for every different exchange out there You've got people are shorting pretty heavy 52% just depends bit max 60% are going long. What are the other ones cracking? 78.9% people going long. I stand corrected. Look at that.  It just depends on what whatever you want to do So that is what is going on in the markets. Let me just think about that in the comments section Let's move on to the big piece which is the rumble and I'm looking forward to this. I must admit This is going on today at 3 p.m. Eastern Sanit time. There's the gold bug in the left then there's machenski and there is hosted by Michelle McCory from Kitco news and This is up right now. I tried to show it yesterday, but they didn't have it up So I'm gonna link this in the description of the video where it's gonna be live and you can you can submit your questions everything else which I will definitely be doing and This for me. I'm in Puerto Rico. So this will be 4 p.m. My time. So we've got I got like four hours or so But yeah, I can't wait to see what's going on. I have to tell you this Plays pretty well into the gold bugs favor because we just saw a pretty massive dip So he's gonna be talking about how there's this huge dip and it's a bubble and it's a bubble But you have to remember one thing The price of gold so if we take a look at the price of gold over the last 10 years Pretty much the same.  There's no problem with it But I'm saying why can't you just open up and say, you know what? Maybe Bitcoin might be a good thing, especially with what has happened over the last I don't know 10 years as well because I can't even go back that far and coin get go This is in 2013. It was 120 bucks and now we're at yeah We took a dip But if you zoom out still looking pretty good and then even if you take a look at gold and like well It's store value store of value You still got to deal with inflation and if that is between 7 and 15 percent 15 percent is what people think of that at the Upper level 7 percent is pretty much the government thinks It's not keeping up with inflation. So I don't know where that store value narrative comes from They're all gonna say it's often in the distance So I'm curious to see how this all plays out and again, I cannot wait for this to actually happen So let me know what you think about where this is gonna go I will be there waiting patiently in the wings and we'll see how this debate all plays out interesting stuff also Because Celsius is a great sponsor thanks Celsius just so you know they have swaps coming up So you can do all the different swaps that you want to do Bitcoin for Ethereum the theorem for mana Anything you really want to do and it's for a very low-cost if not free So they're doing that also they've got these Celsius decks coming up. Yeah the centralized exchange. That's pretty great So I think Celsius doing the right thing. That's why I think some of that the tokens for Celsius looking pretty good and lastly just so you know Promo codes so if you have an account all you got to do is go to enter a promo code You put in whatever code that you want Confirm it and that's what you got to do and there's a bunch of them. You can transfer $100 worth of with a Bitcoin in you get $10 transfer 25,000 you get 500 you can do it with Binance coin cardano USDC and so on and so forth Also, if you don't have the Celsius app, I do I use all the time I've been using it for loans for the different properties. I've been purchasing here in Puerto Rico works out great Just go to the exchange of wall fees as a link in the description looks just like this and from there You can sign up. It says $20 here, but I think it could be more. I think it's like 35 or 45 now I'm not for sure. I gotta update this but the affiliate link short works just fine If you don't want to use the affiliate link, that's fine. Just go right to Celsius Hopefully you get the right one and don't get scammed, but you just won't get that that bonus So it's all up to you and that's what we have as far as the rumble the rumble the digital jungle and Celsius crushing it now the last two things which It's interesting nuances, but this is what happens.  So you'll see on the on the Left-hand side rank one through 30 because they only took the top 30 then it says Ada voted 135 million 42 1041 but the votes were 134 So what does that mean that means that really what this came down to was this and that is when it says here How is my vote counted this one right in the center right here?  Your voting power is the amount of Ada controlled by the stake address which voted the start of epic 302 So even if We had a lot of people vote which we did and You can see us down here on the wait list D news had the seventh most amount of individuals vote for D news So I want to say first of all, thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time voting for D news You know taking just taking the effort just to say, okay I'm gonna transfer this very small amount within my wallet doesn't cost me that much just the transaction fee and I'll vote for D news Thank you. I mean that was great. I blown away, but so we had 737 individuals vote for us and If we were just going by that number we'd be number seven as far as rank. Yay. However, it doesn't work like that It works like this this one wave 7 sky and sky 2 they had 134 votes and they got a hundred thirty five million forty two thousand Ada power what that means is that roughly everyone these votes had a million Ada and That's a bummer. So that's that's something else. I mean, I will say this though Crypto capital ventures they had 2384 votes thirty five forty seven for ITC and then Paul had a ton 1307 and They don't have like super big pools, but they just had a lot of people vote for them But these ones right here they had a lot of whales and if you got a lot of a lot of Ada power That's really what happens and here on the waitlist. So we did not make it was a good try But that's how it goes now Sunday swap has not released the official Numbers yet. This is just was compiled by an individual so which you could check on the blockchain So we'll see how it all works out and maybe they come back and say no We're gonna do it something differently, but that's how it stands right now. Let me know what you think that was a Great way to do things as far as voting or what you thought anyhow, that'll be interesting in the comment section Which leads us to our last point. This is a good one the mooch Andrew scuramucci Comes out and says Bitcoin's going to 500,000.  I thought was pretty interesting and it made a lot of sense when he started talking about Kathy Wood from ARC investments so Scary moochie pretty much just said look Kathy Wood is correct And if you say he believes if ARC invest CEO Kathy would is correct and there are a billion wallets at the end of 2024 Into the middle of 2025. He expects that these coins will easily trade at 500,000 per coin remember you don't even have enough Bitcoin for every millionaire in our society to earn one coin and I just want to show you one little snippet Talking about a billion wallets This is the internet and crypto adoption and if you can take a look here that green Green is internet users So and then the blue line of course is crypto users and right now we are if you want to talk about You know the crypto adoption people actually using it. It's we're pretty darn early if you take a look at it like this as opposed to where The internet is now and where crypto could be in the next four years or so So if we compare that we're actually in 1998 internet bill and the next two three years We could be close to that Billion mark if it maintains that trajectory which it looks like it is doing right now So when mooch here talks about hey, I think we could reach 500,000 with with a billion wallets because of what Kathy Wood says I was kind of skeptical, but then when I saw this I'm like that makes a heck of a lot of sense I'll go for that and then to finish this up in September would double down or 500k Bitcoin price prediction says if we are right and Companies continue to diversify their cash into something like Bitcoin Institutional investors start allocating 5% of their funds into Bitcoin or the crypto We believe the price will be about half a million dollars JP Morgan said there's only 49 million millionaires based on US dollar fiat currency If that is true, there's only 49 million millionaires in the US alone That's not enough for every one of them to be a whole coin or so. Let's see how that works out anyhow That is what is going on with today's market. So look if you made all the way in I want to say thanks I appreciate it and everybody else I got to say again. Thanks so much for voting That was those huge I appreciate you taking the time just hey sometimes cards Don't land the way we want to but that is it for today So if you like today's video got a little value give it a thumbs out give it a like consider subscribing a lot of things are coming Out fast and furious. We'll see how it all goes, but that's it for today. So thanks so much. I appreciate it And I'll see you in the next one

Hello everyone, it's so amazing to be here. Now before I begin, I want to ask you all to close your eyes, everyone, please. Now what I want you to do is to just listen to my voice. I want you to concentrate on the words that I'm about to say and think about how they make you feel. Okay, awesome. Here it goes, poverty, financial depression, refugee crisis, global warming. Okay, now everyone, please open your eyes. You did great, thank you so much. Let me ask you, how did my words make you feel? What's are you didn't feel any positive emotions, right? Maybe you felt bored, discouraged, maybe even scared or depressed, yeah? Why, why is that? Why is it that when we hear these words, our minds are filling with this negativity? Well the thing is that our society has implanted this intensely negative resonance into them, our politicians, our media, they're constantly generating negative content about them up until the point that every time we hear them, we think of problems that we can't solve. I think it's pretty safe to say that this negative attitude towards society's biggest issues is not healthy, why? Because our performance in a challenge is directly related on how we approach it, our attitude. If we have a bad attitude, a wrong attitude, we will most likely have a bad performance as well. If you don't believe me, let me ask you, how often do you ever succeed or simply perform well in a challenge that you were absolutely certain that you would fail in? Never, right, that rarely ever happens. So how are we supposed to solve society's biggest issues with such a negative attitude? We can't. What if we change the way we felt about them? To a more positive approach? Would that lead to a solution? Let me tell you a story. A few months ago, I took part in this huge global development summit in New York, it was called NEXUS. There we had all these extremely influential people speaking to us like Randy Zuckerberg, the co-developer of Facebook. It was so incredible.   And the first thing that the whole crowd, everyone is thinking about is what on earth does this 12-year-old girl have to tell us about? Because when I was 12 years old, I was trying out how many Oreos I could stuff into my mouth, because that was kind of my thing. What could she tell us about? She started telling about her life story, about when she was four, she found out humans were endangering many different species. And she wanted to prevent this from happening. So what she did was that she used her grandmother's recipe to make lemonade out of honey. And she started selling this lemonade to the local neighbors, donating a large amount of her profits to charity that would help these endangered species. She was four. She was four years old and she knew she could make a difference. So what started off as a local lemonade stand selling in the local park had developed into a huge lemonade brand selling in a variety of stores in over 22 states in America. Now she's 12 years old and her business is worth millions and millions of dollars. And yes, her actions have made a change to the endangered species. In the end of her speech, she told us that the key to her success was the fact that she was four years old when she started. She was a child.  It ignores all the obstacles and problems that might come its way because in the end they're quite irrelevant. She was four. She had no skills of being an entrepreneur. She didn't know where to start off. But a beautiful way of approaching the thought of starting her own business led to her amazing success. What can we learn from little Mikaela, she was called? Well, the thing that I learned is one of the reasons why I'm standing here speaking to you. I learned that our attitude towards a challenge defines our performance.  But with the right one, we can solve anything. Yes, even global warming. So what I want us all to do is that the next time we hear the words that I said in the beginning, poverty, financial depression, refugee crisis, rather than thinking about an unsolvable and depressing problem like we all did in the beginning, let's try to think about an opportunity to achieve something truly great. Let's change our attitude. Thank you.


This message I've entitled a divine setup and we'll be looking at verses 1 through 10 here in the book of Acts as Luke who's the writer of this book he writes and he says this Verse 1 of chapter 3 now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninth hour And a certain man lame from his mother's womb carried Whom was carried whom they had laid at the gate Daily which is called beautiful to ask alms from those who entered the temple Who seen Peter and John about to go into the temple asked for alms and Fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said look at us So he gave them his attention Expecting to receive something from them then Peter said silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength So he'd leaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them walking leaping and praising God and All the people saw him walking and praising God Then they knew that it was the one who sat begging alms at the beautiful gates of the temple And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him I read a story about an agnostic Professor who visited a primitive tribe that had been impacted by missionaries who brought the gospel to this tribe and this agnostic Professor was having a conversation with the chief of this tribe and he said this to this chief It's just a shame that you were duped by those missionaries Nobody really believes the Bible literally anymore. We're more enlightened than that Now the old chief pointed to the rock that they used to bash in the heads of the people that would eat and The oven where they would roast them and he said this to the agnostic professor If it were not for the gospel message of the love of Jesus Christ, which could convert a cannibal into a Christian You'd be our supper by now When I see a changed life Especially when the gospel has touched the life. It reminds me of the power of God Because the gospel is powerful the gospel changes minds the gospel will change of life if you let it You know was Paul the apostle who confidently said this about the gospel He said this for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ For it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes for the Jew first and also for the Greek This morning I want to draw your attention to an amazing story in the book of Acts and it's in Acts chapter 3 in Acts chapter 3 we're going to see the life of an individual that was radically changed Because of the gospel we see the power of God working in this man's life Now Acts chapter 3 is the account or acts the book of acts is the account of the early church and up to this point in Acts chapter 3 Great things were happening in the early church. Let me give you some examples of what was going on They they experienced great miracles. There was a great miracle in Acts chapter 2 when the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon the early believers and Basically ignited a desire a passion to share the gospel. They were anointed by the Holy Spirit So we see a great miracle. We also see great preaching in Acts chapter 2 verse 14 Peter's preaching was in the power of the Holy Spirit and he was the first to actually Bring forth the first sermon in the book of Acts Then we also see great conviction in Acts chapter 2 verse 37 and 38 When they were when they would share the gospel with the with the non-christians the people would respond by saying what shall we do? That is a great response when you share the gospel I haven't had somebody say that directly What should I do and if you do the answer is well you need to get right with God and that was happening We saw great miracles great preaching great conviction great salvation Great salvation in Acts chapter 2 verse 37 3,000 souls were added to the church It's amazing, but not only that but there was great hunger There was a great hunger in Acts chapter 2 verse 46 to continue daily with one accord to gather together they there was there was a hunger for unity and Lastly is a great unity in Acts chapter 2 verse 46 I mentioned that and then great favor and praises in Acts chapter 2 verse 47 People were added to the church and people were getting along so all we see here is a constant Greatness of God and you see God's greatness among the people and things were happening in a great way In fact, it's summed up in Acts chapter 2 verse 43 like this many signs and wonders were done through the Apostles so Acts chapter 3 is another great example of the power of God the power of the gospel the name of Jesus Christ's That touches this man's life. So let's look here in our text at verse 1 We see very clearly that the two people involved in this is Peter and John They were going up to prayer at the hour of prayer the ninth hour now Remember that these two Peter and John were trained a little bit more than the other Disciples it was actually Peter James and John that you see a lot with Jesus kind of secluded in and Jesus teaching him lessons and what not because of Their prominent role that they would actually take when they would actually go into the the mission field when they become church leaders So these three were actually taught a little bit more and especially Peter and John Now what great pair to have in a church a Peter and a John remember Peter was the outspoken one He was the bold one John remember he was described as the son of thunder Remember Jesus would actually say that you know what you guys are really just your turn or burn ministry is not going to cut it here You know what I mean? It's like you don't follow Jesus then burn, right? That was John and you have these two guys that Jesus was using in the early church What great pair to have a Peter and a John But there's something else that's interesting that fascinates me about Peter and John and that is that these two were Competitive did you know that these guys are very very competitive in fact? It was in John chapter 20 verse 4 when Jesus rose from the dead and then the news came to the guys John says this so they ran they both ran together and the other disciple out round Peter and came to the tomb first I mean did you know that John is the only one that writes this in all the Gospels? Matthew didn't care Luke didn't care Mark didn't care John did because he wanted to show that he was faster than Peter That's a very competitive guy. You know, I'm sure there are some people here that are very competitive.   I got here first These guys were competitive There was another time where Jesus was talking to Peter about how he was gonna die, right? How he would experience death that would bring God's glory and as Peter as Jesus is talking to Peter Peter looks at John It says well, what about him? Jesus, don't worry about him. He just it's don't worry about how I'm gonna work with him So again, we have Peter and John competitive in nature Yet they're going together to the temple to reach the lost to reach their own people and Notice what time the ninth hour. What time is that 3 p.m? 3 p.m. Actually the Jewish people had three different times of prayer They had prayers at 9 a.m. 12 p.m. And 3 p.m. The 3 p.m. Hour was very critical because that was a sacrifice There was the sacrifice for them to bring in their sacrifice to God So the beggar understood very clearly that this was a very very important time Tons of people would come Now where would they get this three different kinds of prayer times? Well, I believe and this is just my speculation They probably based this out of Psalm 55 verse 17 that says this Evening and morning and at noon I pray at a cry aloud and he shall hear my voice So we see here from the text that this refers to the evening sacrifice And we also see that the original followers of Jesus were worshiping Christ in a variety of ways They would go to the temple probably on specific days or perhaps daily They would also go to the local synagogues and they would gather with the believers on Sunday All these areas that they would actually hang out were areas of ministry Where they would encourage each other or share the gospel. So this brings us to this man in verse 2 Notice that Luke says a certain man no name It was an important to know who this guy was his name, but it is important for Luke. Remember Luke is a doctor It's important for Luke to describe this man's condition in a very interesting way And he says they're very clearly He says that he was lame from birth from birth he was born in this condition and he was carried which Basically reveals that his condition was hopeless. This guy couldn't walk at all. He was crippled and It was here that all of a sudden Peter and John Meet this guy now as you read this story We automatically think that this guy was already sitting down at the gates, but he wasn't noticed that he was being carried To the gate and as he was being carried Peter and John were walking and they came together and That's when this man shouted out and asked for money Now when he said when it says here that he was laid here daily This reveals his daily routine His daily routine was to beg at this location That he was a common person people saw this guy over and over in fact beggars had three favorite places to beg The houses of riches of rich people and also not only that but main highways like we see today and The temple so not only at the houses of the rich Not only at major highways, but also the temple and the temple was their favorite place to go Why well because it was at the temple that people came to impress God People came there to give they were more willing to give I in fact rabbis taught that there were three pillars for the Jewish faith the worship or the Torah worship and the showing of kindness or charity arms giving which was actually a major expression a Major expression of one's devotion to God and so he knew that some Jews came there just to impress God Kind of like today You know you have people that give just to kind of feel good. They think that they're impressing God By their giving that there's no relationship with God. They have no no, you know, they don't care about Jesus But there's something inside of them that they just want to give because they just want to be givers I guess if you will you see that a lot during Christmas time you have the salvation army You have the goodwill they stand out with little bells and and you know a lot of people in America like to give because For some reason maybe they think that you know, hey, God is gonna pat me on the back and say good job Thank you for giving or perhaps they just feel like it's it's time for a good deed I haven't done a good deed in a long time. Maybe this will impress God. Here's two bucks You see, I mean, that's the way it was with the Jewish people It was it was a thing that they were doing they were going through the motions It wasn't anything that it was heart done from the heart It was something that they just went there hoping to impress God by their giving so this this guy that's sitting here Wanted to get something from the people and the gate that he's at is called beautiful. This gate was massive 75 feet high and it was made out of solid fine brass And it says that it took 20 men to close these gates. It was a huge gate It was a heavy gates and and everything about the temple was glorious if you know your New Testament History, you know that the temple was a huge thing. In fact, even in the Gospels There's many references made to the beauty of the temple for example in Luke chapter 21 verse 5 Then as some spoke of the temple how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations and then in Matthew chapter 24 Verses 1 and 2 then Jesus went out and departed from the temple and his disciples came to show him the building of the temple So the temple was huge. It was magnificent. So what does this guy do? We notice he was begging It was business as usual for this guy This guy had a normal routine. This was it here, but little did he know that God was about to Transform that God was about to give him a better plan for his life that would totally change his daily routine You know, this leads me to say this that sometimes we never know what God may be up to in our lives And God could be working behind the scenes right now and you have no clue and Maybe you're stuck on this routine You have a routine and maybe this morning God wants to break that routine He wants to intervene in that routine in your life and he wants to say you know what that routine that you're in is Hindering your walk with me. I need to break it. I need you to do something different and I need you to do it my way You see this is something that is important for us to understand in this text Is that God can interrupt your daily routine at any time and he has the right to do that? You know, I'm teaching my four-year-old right now not to interrupt mommy and daddy while they're talking that happens It's frustrating right parents. You're like stop. I'm talking, but they are they need to learn So we have different methods and techniques and how to give her You know that the ability to talk when we're done or whatnot Well, listen when God wants to interrupt your life. He has the right to do it And that is because he sees something in your life that is not doing good Something that is not actually moving you forward in your walk with Christ So he steps and it says I'm gonna interrupt you here in a moment. I don't like the way you're going I don't like how you're thinking God has that plan that that that right and this is what's happening with this beggar This guy was used to doing what he was doing on a daily basis But God was about to intervene in this man's routine and we see here very clearly that this happens a lot in scripture David a young shepherd boy taking care of the sheep Little did he know that God was about to break in that routine in that job of his and he was gonna make him the king of Israel And then you even have the disciples Peter James John these guys were fishermen They all were Professionals at catching fish until Jesus showed up and says you're now going to be fishers of men So now you're gonna change this routine guys and now you're gonna come after me You're gonna follow me and now you're gonna bear the cross And we see here very clearly that this beggar is in for an incredible change in his life a change that was permanent a change That was exciting a change that transformed his life both spiritually and physically And this is exactly what we see that we see very clearly that as John and Peter in verse 3 We see that these guys were set up by God They were set up by God. It was a divine set up That God had in store for these guys. What perfect timing God had a plan in his mind and we see his plan coming to pass Now I want you to understand one thing is that Peter and John were not miracle hunters They were not looking for a miracle. They were not looking or walking around trying to say hey We have this power from Jesus. Let's go do some miracles guys They weren't doing that. They were going at the hour of prayer to witness to his own their own people But they did not have in mind. Let's go do some miracles. Let's go do some signs and wonders those followed them They didn't follow the miracles and signs It wasn't until the Holy Spirit moved in the heart of Peter to do what he's about to do here in a moment You're gonna see it was God's perfect timing and you know what this reminds me of the Christian life It really does in some way. It reminds me of Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10. It says this For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works Which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Did you see that? God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.  That's the power of God. That's an amazing thing of God But we see though that sometimes, you know as Christians and even it even as a non-Christian, you know in life We're always waiting for something. We're waiting for the right job. We're waiting for the right person to marry You know, we're waiting for that problem to turn around and when it's not happening I guess as fast as we would like we get frustrated. We get bombed You know, I was talking to a guy just recently Young guy and he was basically telling me and he was saying, you know what? I want to get married and I haven't found a spouse and I am so caught up with this that it's depressing me I want to find a spouse Ladies it numjukin. No, um, you're like, I'm right here. No, anyways, I Encouraged them. I said listen be careful Listen, the desire you have in your heart is a good thing Because in the old time back in the beginning of time God says it wasn't good for a man to be alone So it's okay the desire for you to have a wife is a God-given desire. Just be very careful in how you go about it Wait for God's timing. How is that? I don't know. I don't know how that works, but I know that God is faithful He's faithful to put things together in his time Ecclesiastes 3 11 says this he has made everything beautiful in what in his time Not in our time So here's this man who's crippled Peter and John are coming and they're meeting together God's perfect time The works that God prepared beforehand as John and Peter are walking in right now verse 4 notice what happens and I love this part here and Fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us now That is very important for us to understand here real quickly We see here that he says he's fixing his eyes Peter is staring at this guy In fact, it's the same word used in Acts chapter 1 verse 11 when Jesus ascended to the Father that angel said why you guys Gazing up into the into heaven. I mean, why are you staring the same word that is used here? It was a stare He caught eyes with this guy and the reason why this is very interesting is because beggars during this time as it is in our Day and age they were not looked on I mean they ignored them Nobody wanted to catch eyes with a beggar because if you did then that means that you're gonna give him something Isn't that isn't that the same with us today when you walk by somebody who's who's got a sign that says I need money I need help where they approach you and you see them talking to somebody you want to walk by quickly, right? I don't want to talk to them Right, but if you caught eyes with that guy or that woman guess what they're gonna say, can you help me? And you see for this beggar to catch eyes with Jesus or with Peter and for Peter to give him that Attention this guy said yes. I just hit the jackpot. He's giving me something. This is awesome But you see here though That this is not gonna be the way he thinks it's gonna be he's given him his attention But God is gonna give him something better than money and notice what it says in verse 5 He says so he gave them his attention expecting To receive something The beggar expected the usual money to do whatever he was doing with the money It was the right thing to do and it was the right time everything said I am going to receive something You know you've been in that position probably and you know when you're about to receive something You're like I I can guarantee you I'm gonna receive something right now Let's say for example Christmas or your birthday, right? You expect gifts, don't you Christmas gifts and you know, there's somebody in that family There's always some one person in that family that gives you the best gifts every year You know that right that aunt that uncle you're like every year I can't wait for Christmas because last year they got me this and this year it's gonna be and you're expecting it Even though when you get to Christmas and that person gives you that gift You humbly take it off. Well, thank you. I think you for thinking of me liar.  Oh, thank you What happens if this year at Christmas time that person that you're expecting a gift from? Decides not to give you a gift and instead they give you a hug. There's your Christmas gift What would you say? Well, thank you. No, and now you're like you'd be upset like I can't believe I don't want to hug Well, this guy the beggar expected money But he wasn't gonna get money and Peter does it in a very interesting way. He says this in verse 6. He says Silvering gold. I do not have in other words. I'm broke buddy. I don't have any money That's my interpretation and he says this but what I do have I give you well, what do you have? This guy must have been like, well, what do you have this better than gold silver and gold? You know, he says this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk You're like, well, can you just give me a buck? You know, it's like really I mean think about it Here he is and we see that he is giving him something He says I don't have money But what I do have is more valuable than silver and gold listen guys as a Christian Every Christian has some serious wealth. You're like, really? Have you seen my bank account Rob? No, no, not that way You have been blessed spiritually Big time listen to this Ephesians 1 3 we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places Listen as Christians you have a lot to count as far as blessings You know people say well catch your blessings catch your blessings Well listen as Christians you have a lot of blessings to count and listen to this Philippians 4 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ So when he's saying in verse 6 he says I have Jesus to give you He says very clearly in the name of Jesus that means in the nature in the character of Christ who Jesus stands for What does that mean? Well, I am giving you a healing Jesus. I am giving you a loving Jesus I have a compassionate Jesus.  Why is it because Jesus is the only hope for mankind isn't isn't he? I mean he is the only hope for mankind I don't care if this world's fallen apart as long as I have Jesus. I'm okay Jesus Christ is the only hope for mankind. You know I was Getting a haircut or before I was getting a haircut. I remember I was waiting for the barber to come in It was early before they opened up, but I got there early just to be the first one It's kind of one of those first come first serve kind of barber places and and I was I was there I noticed this homeless guy was approaching me. He was coming towards me. So I went the other way and right now I didn't do that. No, so I kind of turn towards him And I said, you know, and I just kind of gave him, you know attention and he asked me for money He says hey, can I have some money and I said I don't I said I don't have any money But I said to him listen, do you know Jesus and he says to me he goes yes, I know okay Well a lot of people know Jesus they know of Jesus, but do you know you have you received Jesus? Well, I have a few years ago. I said that and it gave me an opportunity to share Christ with this guy to encourage This guy to get back into church and encourage them to get plugged in But you see I did not have money, but I knew that the man's major need was Christ's and That's exactly what's happening here I don't have money, but I have Christ's and notice what Peter does. This is amazing in verse 7 He took him by the right hand Lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength I mean could you imagine this crippled guy who has been crippled for a long time According to Acts chapter 4 verse 22. He was over 40 years old So for over 40 years this guy was crippled and Yet Peter says give me your hand and he's lifting this guy up if I was that bigger. I would have smacked his hands and stop that I'm crippled. What are you doing? Don't mock me But you see what Peter was doing was was a work of God and this guy though Had some kind of faith because he went along with it And as he went along with it he started to stand up and this is what happens here notice immediately The miracle was immediate We see here very clearly that this happened right away. There was no gradual process You know sometimes when Jesus healed people they got healed within the hour Other times they were healed right on the spot But most of the time it was all within the hour this guy was right there was on the spot and notice how Luke the doctor describes this His feet and ankle received strength We see here very clearly that his ankle bones Receive miraculous strength for this guy to begin to walk I wonder what it was like to take that first step I mean this guy's been crippled since birth and could you imagine taking that first step? Walking your feet are strong your ankles are strong It's just like when Peter walked on water for that very first time you remember that I wonder what it was like to walk on water that first step that you take into that water It's like just as solid as as a rock and you're starting to when you're walking on it I mean what I wonder what it was like, but but this guy was walking and you're gonna see by his reaction How excited he was that he actually could walk that he could actually walk now and We see notice in verse 8 the heal man becomes a witness It says this so he Leaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them walking leaping and praising God Described in those three ways We see his new condition is described by walking leaping and praising God This was also a Old Testament prophecy being fulfilled in the eyes of the Jewish people and Isaiah chapter 35 verse 6 It says the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy so Jesus is showing his power and Prophetic prophecy as well But the leaping speaks of joy excitement that Jesus brought in this man's life We see like a child with a new toy. He could not resist using his new Foundability he was excited The other thing that's sad about this guy that according to Old Testament law this guy was blemish He couldn't go in to worship with the rest of his peers. He was outside now. He can go into the temple Unblemished not crippled. I mean could you imagine the outlook of his in his life and the things that God did in his life? They joy the excitement Do you get excited when God answers your prayers? Do you get excited when somebody gets saved in your family or perhaps a friend?   Okay I mean do you get excited when God answers your prayer?   God high five.  You're like God, what do I do here? Moses was in this place The river was flowing the Red Sea and you know, he looks up to God and says Lord, what do I do? I mean what he says well, you see the staff in your hand. Yeah, lift it up The moment he did that guess what the whole sea parted and he started going across this dry land And the water is receded over on the side. It was just amazing and he's walking across when he gets to the other side Guess what he did This is what he did Exodus 15 verse 1 and 2 and 3 Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord and spoke saying I will sing to the Lord for he has tramped Gloriously the horse its rider. He has thrown into the sea. He is the Lord my strength and my song He has become my salvation.  You're like God. I don't know where to go from here What do I do help me? Listen? God is gonna help you But when you get to the other side of your trial of your situation praise God Worship him thank him just like these guys did because on the other side There's joy and there's excitement and sometimes the difficulties in our lives can take that joy and excitement That's that's in our lives But praising this here. We see this guy was praising this should always be the The end result to any healing or miracle done by the Lord the praises are always to God not to man Man should never be praised if God uses somebody to pray over you and let's say you're healed or prayers answered through their prayer Whatever praises should always go to God not to that person and we see here This is exactly what he did this man received a whole new life his crippled condition was changed to walking His hopeless attitude was changed to leaping. There was a joy His spiritual condition was changed and he was brought to faith in Christ as he began to praise God So what does he do? He becomes a witness notice here? 9 and 10 verse 9 and 10 Says all the people saw him walking and praising God Then they knew that it was the one who sat begging alms at the beautiful gate of the temple And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him Crazy amazing They connected the dots here They saw the guys like wait a minute. Is that the guy that's been there for 40 some years? What it's kind of when somebody comes to you like say you meet an old friend That you used to party with or you guys were together as non-christians You know you weren't a Christian and all this and then and then you run into them and they're like is that you wait a minute You're Christian now. I remember what we used to do together. You're Christian really? That's pretty crazy or you have the same reaction when you find somebody you meet somebody that you knew were They were way out there in left field when it comes to the world and now they're coming to say praise the Lord What serious what happened your robot now? What who are you? You know? You find out that they've been saved and this guy's being a witness They're connecting the dots are saying hmm walking you were crippled now you're walking and now you're praising God Wait a minute. There's something here going on and they knew that this was something beyond Peter and John They noticed two things right away the ability to walk and his ability to praise God his new faith in Christ's This guy was radically changed and transformed. I Want to close with a few thoughts here I want to close with verse 5 because verse 5 says here that this man expected to receive something He had a daily routine remember this guy had a daily routine He was put there placed in front of this gate Day after day. He was there asking for money Over 40 years. He was crippled and he was doing this constantly, but this guy was going through the motions He was just going through the motions in life His expectation in life was very low. He was crippled. There's nothing he can do except ask for money beg for money and We see here that his condition kept him from experiencing more in life And there could be some here tonight today who have who are in the same spot as this crippled man That you're just going through the motions in your Christian life. There's no excitement.   I Want to see more excitement more joy in your Christian life Or maybe you're not a Christian here today and you're listening they brought you in because it's Mother's Day And you're here you're listening you're like hmm interesting. I didn't know about this Jesus Well listen, you're the same condition as this crippled man, but spiritually you're crippled you can't walk You can't walk with God right now.  He wants to revive you spiritually and Christian the same with you God wants to revive your heart If you're here, you're saying I need a revival in my heart. I didn't revival in my life listen to this Psalm 1 19 25 my soul clings to the dusts Revive me according to your word. I believe God wants to revive hearts this morning But the question is this do you trust God? Do you really trust God with your life? Can you say honestly today Lord? I need a revival. I need to be revived. I'm a Christian I've been a Christian for a long time and Lord I just I need revival because when we talk about revival it starts with you It starts with me And maybe that's where you're at this morning. You're there. You're saying to yourself. I Need a revival. I'm done with this daily routine. I want to know Jesus more. I want to learn more about him I want to get to know him even more and if you're not a Christian and you're saying I want to know Jesus My life is going nowhere and I know Jesus that that he's the only hope that I have in this life And if that's you you're gonna be touched by the Holy Spirit and he's gonna call you to salvation


It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. Okay. So it is interview time, application time for PA school.  But for some of you, you're going to get a rejection or a denial from the PA program that you were interested in. And because of that, it's not going to be that happy of a time. And so I am going to give you guys the top three reasons why you are not getting into PA school.  Let's get into the video right now.  It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. Okay. So like I said, I know I'm like small and stuff, not necessarily a happy subject. But honestly, I think that these points that I'm going to make are going to be very beneficial to you. So that hopefully, you know, this helps you get into PA school because that's what this channel is all about, right? Helping you get into like through PA school, making this process easy. So I'm going to give you three reasons. The top three reasons I believe that people are not getting into PA school. And so my number one reason is going to be at the end. So you got to stay to the end, but we'll start off with the number three reason. So the number three reason I believe that people aren't getting into PA school, especially if you have been given an invitation to interview is you're not interviewing, right? Okay. So maybe you get really nervous in front of a group setting or maybe you get really nervous in front of the one-on-one. And for you, you have no idea how that interview is going to be. So it is important to practice, practice in front of your peers, practice in front of your family, practice in front of your mirror, whatever it is, you know, get a coach to help you practice, but you really need to practice various different interview styles and various different interview questions because you have no idea what each school that you're going to apply to is going to, what their interview style is going to be. And it's important for you to be not only familiar but comfortable with all of these various different interview styles. Another thing is that you're being interviewed from the moment you walk in through the door. So you have to not only like be confident and nice, but you have to be on your guard, but also be exude that confidence, right? On your guard, but yet still be calm if you know what I mean. Like you have to be able to show that I can handle this, I'm about this, I got this, but at the same time not be too cocky and also be welcoming and warm and inviting. So that is the third reason that I think you're not getting into PA school. The second reason you're not getting into PA school is your personal statement. So likely your personal statement needs some work.  You guys, like my personal statement, you guys have seen that old one and the new one, okay? It was horrible. And that is why when people are doing consultation sessions and things like that, they want personal statement reviews. They want mock interviews because these are things, these are the areas where you're actually like falling short. So if you cannot review your personal statement on your own, because likely you've gone through it so many times, like some of the mistakes that another person would see, you kind of gloss past it because you've read the statement so many times. It is important to get someone else to read it, be that a friend, a family member, your teacher and professor, whoever it is, or, you know, another coach or a consultant, you have to go ahead and do that because it is important to get other eyes on that statement to make sure that it is in tip-top condition for your application. And the number one reason why you're not getting into PA school is because you haven't done your research.  Okay, it is absolutely true, you guys, you need to do your research. And I'm talking about your research on the schools that you're applying. So if you have not done your research, because the research encompasses everything that you really need for this application, for that interview, for your time in PA school, you need to know the stats, you need to know what the school is about, you need to know the prerequisite requirements that they're asking for, like what the GPA is, what the shadowing hours are, what the volunteer hours are, what the patient care experience hours need to be, and how you stack up against it. If you don't do your research and you really like line it up, then, you know, again, you can be like me in some of those boats where you don't meet the requirements. And if you don't meet the requirements, that's, you're done.  And if you're not doing your research, if you're not paying attention to the details, like that is a red flag for PA schools, they're like, okay, well, you couldn't even read the instructions. Like, you know, like, why would I let you into PA school when you can't even like, follow some simple instructions on what you need to have to be able to apply to our program. So I think it's very important for you guys to keep that in mind. You need to make sure that you're practicing them interviews, make sure your personal statement is on par, and make sure you do your research. Okay, top three reasons for you right there. Hopefully this is helpful and beneficial to someone. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you haven't already done so, leave a comment in that comment section below. Let me know what you think.
