going to talk you through all the plans that I have for the upcoming month. It is July, which means it's hot and it's humid here. So sewing kind of becomes a little bit tricky because I like to sew for things that I can make and wear right away, but I also know that I'm just pretty much uncomfortable 100% of the time when I'm not in the apartment. So the inspiration and the creativity kind of starts lacking until the temperatures and the humidity become a little bit more bearable. Like we're just not spending a lot of time outside at all. But I do want to keep the momentum going and keep making stuff as always. So I do have a few plans. The first one, this is something I've been working on for a couple of months now, and it is a mash-up. I haven't done a mash-up probably since we did the mash-up challenge on Instagram. But this is a mash-up of the Lisette Butterick 6661, the bodice of this. I just absolutely love that bodice. And I've been a little bit hesitant to do strappy bodices like this because it's so hard to fit your back. And for whatever reason, the angles of those straps are never right and they always kind of gape in weird places. But now that I have my ditto form, which is like an exact replica of my body, I think I'll be able to get those straps placed better so that they lay ultimately flat.  But it's just me. And I would never bother Dan with, hey, can you get this right? He would spin like 30 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. It's good. And move on. I know you know what I'm talking about. So having a ditto form acts as my second set of hands. And I'm able to kind of work on the straps a little bit better. But I'm pairing that with the skirt of Butterick 6351, or no, I'm sorry, the pants of 6351. So I want to make a little jumpsuit that's these two things combined. How cute is that going to be? And I found this tablecloth at Goodwill, and just knew it needed to be a really special outfit. So it is this. You can see that it is like a woven with a little bit of sparkle mixed in. It's cream colored with gold thread throughout. It is a circle. The tablecloth is around tablecloth. So that's going to present a few issues. But I think that I'm going to be able to have enough fabric, I have two of them, two tablecloths in order to get the bodice out of one and the shorts out of another and have a really cute like going out romper. Something that I can wear like on date nights. I love wearing rompers and shorts alls and stuff like that. But I just don't feel like they are fancy enough. They feel very, very casual to me. So I'm hoping that if I give it like a strappy back and a really, really cute, fun, you know, kind of dressy sparkly fabric, that it'll be a really cute like dressed up going out romper either for date night or I am signed up signed up. I bought season tickets to the all the Broadway shows that are coming through Charlotte this next 2021-22 season. So I'm going to need like, you know, sort of cute clothes, but that clothes you want to sit around in for a couple of hours. And I think this would be perfect for that. So I think I have all the pattern pieces cut out. And I'm ready to cut into my fabric and get sewing on that. So hopefully I can finish that this month. We also have sew together 21. Now, for this month, I decided to go out of the box a little bit and do a hat. Hats are so on trend right now. Like bucket hats are everywhere.  So everybody is wearing bucket hats right now. So I gave all my Instagram followers four different hats to choose from. They ended up choosing this one from Hot Patterns. It's totally free on fabric.com. So it's like a combination of a sun hat, bucket hat, but also a little bit adjustable. So I'm thinking of making it out of something really, really fun. I mean, when am I going to really wear this hat? Like when I'm out of the pool or doing something very, very casual, maybe even a little bit of gardening, like on my patio, if the sun is, you know, that time of the day where the sun is coming down, it's going to be a pretty low key situation. So I have this curtain that I got from Goodwill, another great Goodwill find. I've thought about making this into a dress. Certainly I have enough fabric to do that as well as the hat because the hat does not take that much fabric, but the hat does have that band. So what I might do is make the hat out of this like, I don't know, it's like a mint slash sky blue denim and then do this in the band. So they would go together like that. I do have quite a bit of home deck fabric, quite a bit of cotton canvas. Joanne has some really, really, really great cotton canvases if you are looking for something to make your hat from. Really cute gardening themed ones I've seen. They even have some sewing themed ones and then just regular plain ones. And so I've got a bunch of those from doing my tote bag class for SkillPop and I made some Cricut projects with them, so on and so forth. So I do have other options. I'm not totally, totally like sold on this. I might go shopping in my stash, but as you know, Sew Together 21 for me, even when it was Sew My Style, I was always shopping from the stash first. Well, just always. So I said, it's a challenge on top of the challenge for me to sew from the stash for this particular monthly challenge. So I like this, but if I decide I want something that I can, is a little bit more wearable that I might be able to wear to Target, which is just like my baseline for anything like, anything like acceptable by society, this might be a little bit funky to be wearing to Target, but I might be able to find something a little bit more easy and simple. And I would use that. I got a ton of interfacing from ThermoWeb. So when I go to make the hat, I'm going to talk to you guys. I'll make a separate video on interfacing and kind of talk you through the different types and what you use them for and how they're going to help this hat really take shape. Get it? So I'll talk to you guys about that more. But I also, I mentioned, I don't know, recently, was it my makes video that I've been using vintage sheets from Goodwill to muslin shorts. So when I was muslin anding these, I made a little pair of pajama shorts out of a vintage cotton. Just to kind of test the fit, make sure the crotch and all that was okay and that they were comfortable and not riding up and just, you know, like a muslin. So with the extra fabric, I decided I was going to make a little top set to go with it. So it would have like a whole pajama set. So I think that I was like really, this was a couple weeks ago and I cannot remember, but I think I really wanted like a half-placket situation. So I shopped the pattern stash and came up with butteric 5826. This is a pretty old pattern from 2012, but I mean, it's pretty basic stuff here. We've got long sleeve, half-placket, you know, pretty long top. I think those were the things I was kind of looking for out of my pajama top. I mean, it kind of looks pajama toffee, right? Even in the back. So I made this version, I think I didn't do the, the gathers at the shoulder. So I think I have something like this version without the tab and I was able to use like the top portion of the sheet. Oh my gosh. So this is the sheet. This is like that top hem of the sheet and it had this little baby trim in it already. So I made that part of the sleeve. How stinking cute is that going to be? I remember I did some other fussy cutting for it as well. I'm sure I'll be reminded of that as I start putting it together, but it's just such, such a sweet little fabric already with the purples and lilacs and the flowers and then that little eyelet trim, it just got me, there was no chance I was leaving that at Goodwill. So I'm glad that I'm able to use it in a way that feels appropriate. I don't know about making this into a garment that I would wear out. It's a little young, but I think for pajamas, it's going to be so, so, so cute. So you got to imagine like matching shorts and then kind of like a elbow length sleeve out of this, right? So cute. I'm so excited about that one. I also in the last sale, two sales ago, I got simplicity 9285. It's a girdy pattern. I just don't have any like sleepwear loungewear that is meant for super, super hot temperatures. Like it's just really hot here. So I thought that if I could make something like this, I could wear it on the house, sleep in it, you know, and be quite comfortable. Plus I have a ton of knit fabrics that are just too lightweight to do much of anything with. This is the one that I have chosen for that. So you can see it's rayon. It's nice. It's lightweight. It's drapey. All that is really wonderful. But I just wouldn't want to make that into a top. It's just too clingy to, I don't know. It just, I don't think it would be very comfortable as a top. So turning it into like a little sleep set is great. The only issue I'm having is finding this, what do they call it? Stretch lace trim. So I need five and a half yards of it, one and a half inch wide stretch lace trim. Now that's not hard to find in and of itself, but I don't know what color I should get with this. Should I do like a navy and pink? That would be cute. Orange and pink. Very summery. So I'm just trying to decide what I want and then I have to go find it probably on Amazon. Hopefully, hopefully I'll be able to find some on Etsy instead because that just feels a little bit more, not legit. It's all legit, I guess. But Etsy feels like somebody purposefully sourced it to sell it to me. I don't know. Maybe I'm just romanticizing Etsy a little bit, but I just need to pick a color and then get that stretch trim so that I can create all of this. I did also cut out the panty. I have no idea how that's going to turn out. I've literally never sewn a pair of underwear in my life, but I also know that I kind of struggle finding underwear that's super, super comfortable in the stores for the same reason that I have trouble finding pants that are comfortable. I mean underwear is stretchy, so that gives it a little bit more forgiving than say jeans would, but I have underwear that gapes in the back.  I have some that rides up, some that rides down. It's just like nothing ever works. So if I can figure out how to make my own underwear that fits and is super comfortable, why not, right? I don't know if this little lacy pair is going to be it, but it's at least a fun little thing to try out. So those are my plans for July. I'm super excited about them. If you can't tell, they are a little bit outside of my wheelhouse, like for example, I don't have a single dress. But that's okay, because what I'm sewing is changing a little bit. I'm spending a lot more time at home as much of you are. So I'm finding myself wanting to sew things to wear at home. And then I'm also trying to fill out my wardrobe a little bit. Once I sort of purge everything during May for the, what did I call it, the epic me made try on extravaganza. I did it on Instagram and let people vote on what I should keep and what I should toss, but then of course did what I wanted. I ended up getting rid of a lot of clothes during that period and found out, you know, where the holes in my wardrobe are. And so this kind of serves to fill that a little bit. So I'm pretty excited about them. They're fun. They're different. And we will see how they come together. But I'd like to know from you guys what you plan on sewing in July. I know that it's a holiday weekend that we just had. There's summer vacations, there's summer school for some of you. So time is a little bit different during the summer free time anyway. So maybe you're not sewing at all, which makes me so sad. But let me know if you do have any plans, if you do have anything that you want to work on this month. Leave that in the comment section below. Otherwise, that is going to do it for me today, y'all. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you very soon. Bye.


When we evangelize, when we make the effort to go out and reach out to your neighbor, we begin to see people becoming saved, giving their lives to Jesus, amen. Right now, you guys, I want to share a quick thought with you guys on home groups. It's the step after you get saved. So those of you guys who are brand new, you know, getting a home group, amen.    And that's what we're all about in this church.  But we're all about bringing people into this place, building a family, lifting them up, making them a leader in the nation, in the nations around us and everything. You know, they're going to be the top people. Our people, our church is going to be the best. I believe it. Do you believe it? Amen. And I heard it once said, so imagine, imagine you're driving in a car and that car is taking you to your destiny. But the problem is, in order for a car to move forward, it means all the wheels need to be going in the same direction. But the problem is that what happens if your wheels are all in different directions, all different directions, that car ain't going anywhere. And the people in your life, your friends in your life are the wheels to your car. They're the wheels to your destiny. And if your friends are all going different directions, then I'm sorry, you're not going anywhere in life. So if you want to go in the right direction, you got to make sure that all your friends are going in the same direction as you. And so in your home groups, that's what home groups are about. We're coming and we're going to be with our friends that are going in the same place we're going. We have the same vision, we have the same desire, the same destiny, the same heart after God, amen? And don't tell me, you know, for some of those of you guys are like, well, I don't need anybody to speak into my life. I don't need anybody. I'm self-sufficient. Well, a car without wheels can't move either. So with that, you guys, I just want to encourage you guys that let's make it to home groups this week. Let's be with our friends, be with our family, and the best is yet to come, amen?


opportunity, right? Who has the inheritance right but if the same servant seeing his heart He made this choice to sow to his flesh instead of sowing to the spirit and and this lines up with galatians chapter six I think it's first eight where the apostle paul says um, I think it's seven in a he says do not be deceived Brother what sort of hands souls that in that alone is what a reap and so if you sow to flesh reap corruption And I think in the greek word we can actually look up the word we can go to that and that corruption means eternal misery and health But he says if you sow to the Spirit the eternal life. So if you sow to the flesh you reap corruption, right? But if you sow to the spirit you reap eternal life They says my lord delayeth and he shall begin to beat the men's servants and maidens to eat and drink and to be But okay, but but but michael, this is what you're doing Okay Your premise is That you can lose your salvation And so because that's my premises my premises my premise and I'm going to put passages together That I can weave together to make that statement But just by simply reading the passage what I come to that understanding is it is it that evident? Or do I have to kind of kind of weave it together? Remember, there are also passages that are far more clear than this Where jesus is emphatic again like I talked with with jp earlier that are far more emphatic that You do not lose it Not on do not lose it. It's not you losing it. Jesus doesn't lose you And why that's not why I don't Even though I was also in that camp. I'm still Kind of befuddled as to why someone let me go ahead and bring a romano as well. Um, I'm still also kind of wondering why you would why anyone would would um The clear statements that he makes The clear statements that god says that that you will um, I will cause you to walk in my statutes my commandments Where he says that you should they should not depart. That's what god says in the old testament Where jesus says that I have pointed you to um bear fruit and where jesus says I Since since you all us as sheep we all were given to him And that he draws us to him and that he'll raise every last one of us up and not lose one That's pretty clear And so if we if if you can answer that question as to what what it means when he says I won't lose any But I'll raise all of them up every last one of them and all of the father gives to me will come Then why do we turn around and start start trying to thread passages when the clear passages The clear passages say that I will not lose any and none of them will perish Okay, so brother quarry When it comes to you know having the b-dag and interpreting and um, you know translating greek. I I agree with that um, but the thing is You know when there's a rule That rule let's say that we have in a greek grammar that I think what you said mounts put together and I have um, you know the b-dag and also What do you call it mouses? Greek as well And the thing is we have to look at what jesus says because jesus is our lord Lord means ruler master and owner And so I mean we we we set that rule But what does jesus say here because he's clearly saying in this parable That he will put this servant with the unbelievers. So it's like I have to deny myself. Okay, okay Let's take that for example. Let's say this passage says that what you're saying This passage saying what you're saying the passage that I read what do they say? What do they mean? When jesus says I'm not gonna lose any of not not not one of not not one single solitary one will be lost. What does that mean then? So he's not gonna lose us The thing is we have like jesus says here because we can negate this verse, bro It's his clear day, but you're gonna say so he's gonna say that he cannot lose us But we can go away But when he's but that that would mean that he was also wrong in us in the other passage where he says I will raise all of them up What does that mean when jesus says I will raise every last one of them up? What does that mean? Okay, the the ones who have been faithful the ones who have endured until the end. Okay, let's go So, okay, so Hold on hold on brother. But let's and the thing is whenever we read the bible we have to take everything into its complete context, correct? Okay, so we have to look at everything I mean because if somebody picks and chooses certain verses We know that the archbishop of cantonry was the one who actually put the bible into books As far as chapters and verses broke it down But back then it was read like these letters that paul wrote, you know people take Verses out And create certain doctrines and we know that we can't do that We have to take everything in its entire context. And so when I'm looking at one verse I have to okay put it up against this one and we have to make it all Work synergistically work together because the bible does not contradict. That's what I'm doing. Amen I think it's what I'm doing, but Okay, but you know this verse right here. I mean, it's there's no way around it like if I'm looking at it and I'm respecting Uh english grammar, but also even greek grammar as well because we can even go to the uh, you know Into linear and then even the reverse into linear. It still says the same thing There's there's no way around this So when god says I will put my spirit in them and I will cause them to walk In my teachings in my commandments. What does that mean? Yes Okay, so let's uh, what what verses that request? That's ezekiel 36 20 28 Let's go to the Hebrew Ezekiel 36 28 Mm-hmm I'm sorry. I'm sorry 27 verse 27 And I'll put my spirit within them and cause you to walk in my statues and be careful to obey my rules So what what how do we understand that? Okay, so um, we have the spirit right and so we we're looking at this the the Hebrew word is what I saw right Which word? To cause okay Okay, um Let's see To do to make do to work. Yep. That's right. Okay. So, um, we have a choice correct, brother. You believe in nope. Nope Nope, he says no, so why does oh wait a second. What does the word mean? Who is going to cause who is who is going to make us walk in our statutes in the statutes? According to this verse will buy by his spirit, but the thing is we have choice. We can negate free will Well, okay, give me give me your give me your one passage that tells us we got free will give it to me Okay, luke 12 verse with jesus. Okay. Let's go back to luke 12 right there And understand quarry brother. Like I love you man. Like you are a good brother in christ, man And I'm here just you know No, no, I'm like understanding i'm coming from like seriously a heart of love man. Listen. I understand You don't do not apologize for your for your stance at all.  Listen, you got a nice calm tone of speckled tone. You're fine. You're fine. You didn't no apologies needed No, no apologies needed now Here's my question We have Will Right, we got a volition Matter of fact, it's one of the first things I said in in the in the bible study class, right? We've got will and volition We have the ability to choose Free will means that there's nothing that interferes or Moves our will in other words in order for some our will to be free means it's independent, right? Are you telling me that anybody on this planet, you know, uh, they have a will that's independent of either sin or the holy spirit You said a will where they can choose either to walk out of spirit or the flesh No, no, no, I'm not saying that we don't have will the ability to choose make some decisions Okay, so our will is everybody's will on the planet influenced by something Or is it independent of everything? Um, I mean we know that the lord can influence us and we even know that demonic spirits can try to influence as well But we still ultimately have the the choice to to choose. Okay. I didn't say we didn't have choice I didn't say we don't have volition. But do we have free will? Yeah, I believe in free will I believe right here Does okay, so what does okay, so if we got free will what what in the world is the spirit doing then? Okay, the job of the holy spirit is to convict us of sin righteousness and judgment Jesus says I will not leave you helpless like his orphans, right? But the spirit of truth from the world cannot receive I will send to help you So the holy spirit is our helper But we have to choose to submit to his leading roman chapter 8 verse 14 says hold on hold on So on this passage then let's go back because I don't want to move This is the point that we were making this is the point that we were making right here Does what does god say about his spirit? We're talking about the holy spirit. What does he say his spirit is going to do?  Who's got free will god does what does he do with his? He exercises by putting if the spirit is in us. He's just said I will cause you to walk in my statutes That's why he we're told that greater is he that's in us than he that's in the world If he's in us and ain't working against the world What's the point of the spirit being in us if we can't use the fight against the world? You're not moving us We we have will we have choices to make Left to our own devices. We will always choose sin Always we were wicked from the womb. We go astray from the womb. That's just the scriptures Okay, we are sheep. We go astray. That's what we do. Why because we've got this sin nature like paul says There are these two battles in me My my my my carnal natural sinful self and it wars against the spirit. He says I got these two laws in me Okay, the things that I want to do. I don't do the things I want to stop doing. I keep doing So we do have the ability to make some choices But there's always an influence which is why Jesus says to them To the jews and john eight that you are slaves Of sin they said we were never in bondage. Jesus.  You do what he tells you to do And so to think that we can do it on our own Well, then that would be no need for jesus. He just put out a good word y'all go ahead and listen to me But we don't listen to and so what his remedy is is that I'm going to give you my spirit And it calls you through my spirit to work in me His spirit is what that's the whole point of it. Okay, and so The the issue that you got it that I want you to now I got to go ahead and go to uh I go go to my young brother here Um, but I want you to answer me these questions and we'll talk again on on because you'll be there on saturday, right? Yes, sir. Lord willing. Yes, sir. Oh, um, actually, you know what my um, my grandmother passed away. So I'm flying out Yeah, so I'll actually be flying back saturday morning. Okay. So yeah, well, I tell you what, um, you've got you've got me email So if you if you want to email you want, uh Matter of fact, if email me if you want to you want to talk about phone We talk about phone or whatever. Uh, we can cover this the following saturday. All right. Okay. All right. All right, brother You take care. Yes, sir How do they're young fella? What up core? Are you you all right? I'm good, man. I'm still waiting for my grade on my assignment, man. Man. Listen. I am so far behind. I apologize But it's your fault though. It's your fault Hold on. Let me let me do something. Let me answer this question real quick that this lady I want to cover this real quick. Let me let me cover this real quick She says so is the bible really divided into jew Gentile applications or should gentiles under the spirit of adoption Try to live every word of god. Okay There's what's called primary and secondary application everything that was given to israel is not necessarily for us Now there are some things that that are mentioned for israel that we can apply to ourselves But some things we cannot The mess the fault that we have is we're trying to take what god has for israel and for us What god has for israel and folks get upset with me And now and I listen to when I when I did the deal about pre the pre tribulation millennium That's fine. Your scriptures don't hold up Now I said, this is why I believe in folks went all through these litanies and they didn't ask They didn't deal with the text that I use what god is doing to israel God is going to according to the text that I use jeremiah daniel. He is going to afflict israel Now if you want to make that apply to you gentiles go ahead Have at it. Let me tell you what if you want to be This spiritual jew you're foolish Not you're a fool, but you're behaving foolish or you're thinking foolishly Here's the reason why because you're going to find yourself wanting to deal with what they're going God has a plan for israel His plans have always been carried out literally and so there's a literal expectation of a fulfillment of his prophecy Namely what he is going to do to israel in this daniel in daniel 70 week prophecy Now you can disagree with my interpretation of the 70 weeks But we do know this that the point of this tribulation is to afflict israel according to jeremiah It is jacob's trouble. He's going to deal with jacob with israel. So do not run to be spiritual israel You are not remember what he said though. He's talking about what he's going to do with israel and in romans He is going to bring israel back. However, not all israel is official. Not all the jews are going to be safe Okay This is this is my brother y'all. Uh, gino y'all make sure you go check out his channel as well um, he understands where i'm coming from and so Don't try to be israel. You're not you're not You're not cut like that. But guess what neither israel israel didn't cut like that landslows talking about we are spiritual israel Okay. All right. If you want to what you are is you are spiritual children of abraham That's it find the passage where it says that we are spiritual israel.  Okay, because you won't you are not israel god. Remember, how do they understand it? They knew exactly what god was talking about. They saw god as having a literal Fig a literal plan for israel. He's got a literal plan for us as well Okay, now if a jew becomes a believer, he's part of the church, but the church is not israel He is going to afflict israel. That's his point because israel is hardheaded So so in bringing us in it makes israel jealous And so that tribulation period is primarily for israel now They're going to be some gentiles that are going to come to faith as well But we're talking about remember the pillars of the church the foundation. Those are jews Not gentiles Okay, all the apostles or apostolic of all of apostolic authority is jews except for luke and he's writing under apostolic authority okay, so Stop trying to be what you're not Let god handle that god is dealing with israel a different way and what he said about israel about israel Look at what's happening israel. He stated what's going to happen with them Do you see what's happening? They are They are just Deniers of their own other own faith They've been given this stupor And so god is going to deal with israel But it paul says when the when the fullness of the gentiles has has come then he's going to deal with israel What's the fullness of the gentiles? That's us coming to him. When is it going to stop? Don't know The longer it goes the more of us make it in so anyway, I'm sorry. Go ahead brother. Go ahead rome Amen, I got a question man. I want to make up an answer Why people want to lose why people want other people to lose their salvation so bad man It's pride It's pride is to think that I did it myself It's to think that because remember, you know, notice what I asked jp. Have you ever lost your salvation? What did he say? No Now other people have Well, what was about them? Why did they lose their salvation? Well, because they didn't remain like I did Really? They they didn't have what you have. What is it that you have?  I need that I was talking about bottle. I was down there drinking a bottle of wine man.  This this is me in my flesh. This is you too If I can lose my salvation And they don't adhere to hebrew 6 That says it's impossible to get it back Nate 88 just just show up on on saturday morning at 10 a.m. Central time and just show up But if I can lose my salvation and I don't believe that uh That it's impossible to get it back follow me guys So in other words, it's not impossible once I lose my salvation to get it back. Although. That's what hebrew 6 says It's impossible. Well That means I can lose my salvation. I can get it back and in between time You know what I can do But I can go out there and drink party get what all the girls I want to or some y'all case all the boys I can do what I want All right, I'm through. Let me go and come back. I'm gonna be real careful though So I don't die in the middle of it and then come back to the lord I didn't figure this whole thing out. I figured out a way to serve the lord and also serve myself That's not how that works. That's not how that works. It's it's us It's a point. Look at them over there Because what we what do people who say that you can lose your salvation? What do we what do we do? We point to other people seeing now even folks who don't believe that we do so but look at them We're quick to say that this person out there Um This guy who's who's who this man who's messing with another man. Look at him. He he ain't safe But what about you? You messing with other women?  You ain't going to okay All right. I see what it is Is your sin that gets you to hell and mine won't you are like you are quintessential example of the Pharisee who says I thank god. I'm not like this tax collector this center over there. That's what you are And I believe I believe if you think that you're going to hell.  So salvation The like salvation belongs to the Lord, right? Yeah, but no no not to them. They are south. They are saving their cell I'm about to say they are solving themselves. They are saving themselves according according to the doctrine And yes, okay fine. Good luck with all that heavy lifting that you about to do Good luck. Yeah, man. I mean, I'm I'm so grateful man. I'm I'm That's what it is thinking about my life But I'm grateful if that I cannot lose my salvation. I mean this should bring a sense of gratitude That you know a lovely father who I mean who knows Our actual hearts like I mean we can put on a good show And the world might think oh, yeah, that's a good person But god knows your heart like he he's the one that looks at your heart and he says, you know what you know Your life still belongs to me. I know that you've done wrong, but guess what I'm forgiving you I died and I atoned for those sins past present and future and I just man I'm grateful It is I gave the analogy of a sitting in a chair. We say we trust the chair, but I'm holding on to the to the desk I'm not trusting the chair same thing with Jesus, but I'm in prison And I I'm answering my friend answer right now How do you know you're bearing fruit? Ultimately, you know others don't as much But if you can look back and see that, okay, I'm better But here's a good. Here's a good fruit to bear Uh You know that you are um bearing some humility Uh and some sorrow when whenever you do sin and you will when you sin it bothers you If you're sin is bothering you that might be that's not the ultimate indicator But it's a good indicator.

You know, the effort and intensity have been great. Maybe it was kind of the first bad day you guys have had. What did you think was kind of missing early on? Well, we turned the ball over a lot. I mean, we gave them. They shot 15 more shots than us. I only had three rebounds. I got to be better at helping the bigs out. Rebound on basketball. I think that would have definitely turned the tide on the game if I was down there mixing it up a little bit more. But, you know, we turned the ball over 19 times. They scored 23 points off of it. And, you know, they took 15 more shots than us. That's pretty much the game. They only lose by four. You know, we're saying some good things, but more than anything, we've got to be better. Greg Logan with Newsday. Kevin, you're used to being the guy with the target on your back your whole career. Jarrett just admitted that, you know, the Nets have always been the underdogs, and they now have to learn a different mindset. How long do you think that takes for guys who are new to this situation compared to you and Kyrie?  And, you know, it's just a matter of going out there and really feeling that. And tonight they showed us. They made us, you know, fill them on both ends of the floor. You know, it's good to have that target on your back. It's going to bring the best out of you. And I think Jarrett was incredible tonight. You know, you could tell what the best out of him. You know, he's just getting better and better each and every day. Alex Schiffer with the athletic. Kevin, just word, you guys were so good on defensive for the games, because what were your biggest issues with you guys defensively tonight outside of the turnovers and whatnot? Yeah, we were a little bit too loose on switches. When we were point switching and they were slipping out. Coach Marego made some great quick hits, you know, over the top, you're ducking passes when we were slipping and the quick slips, you know, on the screen and rows that we're getting and getting into space. So we got to be ready for that, especially when we use our switching defenses teams. We're going to start to slip out of those screens, play with a little bit more pace. And, you know, we was behind on a few players, especially in closeouts. Now we're filing and now I'm asking, you know, driving kick. So I think we just got to be a little bit more solid on some of our actions and be a little bit more physical and communicate. Malika Andrews of ESPN. Thank you for you, Kevin. First, Jarrett was talking about the target on your back is something he just needs some time to learn. Do you think that's something that you having been there can help him learn that sort of thing? I just think, you know, those guys are going, you know, just kind of decide for each experience the way they want to do it. You know, I feel like if he has tips, you know, I'll tell him how I feel about a situation, but he'll go through it himself and make the correct adjustments. But I think he's been bringing it every single game.  So I think he gets it, he understands the moment and he's only going to get better. And then secondly, you've talked about every game is sort of a building block for you. How do you see a back-to-back as a building block? Is that something where it's, that's a level for you?  So we'll see how things go and we'll see how, you know, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
