Speaker 1: That's impossible. Let me tell you what I believe.
Speaker 2: It's your weakness, it's not your technique.
Speaker 1: Don't think you know The Impossible Life Podcast and yes,
sitting on a winning lottery.
Speaker 3: Second, an idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.
This is the Impossible Life Podcast because Nick and I
are attempting to live impossible lives. What we know is
that nothing is impossible. So instead of using impossible as
an excuse to not try, we'll use the pursuit of
impossible as an accelerant for greatness. If something's never been
done before, that just means it's unexplored. If they tell
you it's too hard, it's just waiting to be simplified.
Impossible as a default label used by uncourageous people unwilling
to take a risk.
Speaker 1: The real truth is this.
Speaker 3: The solution to any impossible task starts with this question,
if I had to what would it take?
Speaker 1: What would it take?
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of the Impossible Life Podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm your co host.
Speaker 2: Nick surfaces, and I'm looking across as a man so
assertive as a teenager. He told his gross spurt when
to start and when to stop. That's right, friends, Garrett, uncleback,
a man who engineered his own height to exact specification.
Speaker 1: See, these are the credit.
Speaker 3: These are the These are the intros that I see
the humor in the humor that you see and when
you look at not my humor, but I know when
you look at me as my friends, sometimes you think
it's funny. These are the intros that I think are
good because there's a little ounce of truth in there.
Speaker 2: You know what's amazing about this. We are three hundred
and fifteen episodes in, and if you go back to
the early ones, from day zero, you've always felt that
your appropriate response to my intros was to to to
give me your thoughts and judgment on them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like yeah, like you know if you're if
you're funny or not. I like this one because there's
an ounce of truth there. When I was not tall,
I told people like, hey, I don't just I'm about
to start growing.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be tall, dude. I prayed.
Speaker 2: I prayed as well whenever I was a kid, because
my mom is like five three and my dad was
six six. And I say was because he's shrinking as
he gets older. Love pops. But I but like I
was like dude, I can't be as sure as my mom.
Like that was like the worst thing in the world
to me. So God answers prayers. Man, you and I
are the same height and we both broke six foot
Praise the Lord. Okay, so gee today, I always want
to dive in. Man, it's tools and tactics. This is
a biggie man. Three ways to fight apathy. Apathy is
not only is it everywhere, I feel like it's accepted
and oftentimes encouraged as like.
Speaker 1: A wise thing of like, hey, you know you can't.
Speaker 2: Do all of it, and look, we're not like to
do everything you need to fight every battle in the world.
God's definitely put you and given you a grace for
something specific. But I feel like we are there's a
lot fewer people that we have to pull back than
we have to kick out. Would you say that's fair,
g That's totally fair. That's reminds me of a way
that we were in the teams. And I'll come back
to that in a second. But it's apathy is one.
It's a disease. But what I hate is that it's popular. Now,
that's not what that's not what the gen zs call it.
They call it nonchalant, and I thought, I was like,
is it nonchalant?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's considered cool it is to be nonchalant, like
oh it's you know, nothing's hard for me. And I
can see that approach of like making life look easy.
But that's not all of what nonchalant is in gen
Z and this certainly is not like the gen Z
Criticism podcast. We're just commenting on it because it's popular today.
I think it's been popular for a long time. It
just gets rebrand and the current rebrand of apathy is nonchalant,
which is like, oh, you know not, I don't really
care about anything, like don't you know I wear sweatpants
to prom like nothing matters to me. I don't care
about anybody's opinions or feelings. And I'm I'm I'm extremely chalant,
the opposite of nonchalant, which is not a word. Chalant
is not a word, but the type of person that
you should be is extremely engaged. I care about everything
I think today matters. Nonchalant is the opposite of what
this podcast is. And that's really we hate apathy around here.
We're gonna we're going to beat it up and give
you the tools to defeat it in your life, because
apathy is a path to a weak, small, under accomplished, poor, steward,
meaningless life.
Speaker 1: If you want to be empty, be apathetic.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to text your wife and tell her
that you said you are extremely chalant. That is that's
that's one of the record books right there. It's it's
not a word, but it's not. But I get the point.
But like, let's let's define apathy g because we're talking
about it, but like we went to our man Webster.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 2: I I think it's so interesting that apathy started as
a positive because it says a want of feeling in
utter privation of passion, or in sensibility to pain, applied
either to the body or mind. As applied to the mind,
it is stoicism, which we would say is a positive thing,
a calmness of mind, incapable of being ruffled by pleasure, pain,
or passion.
Speaker 3: It comes from it comes from the Greek apathia, right,
which we've talked about before. It determed to do the
message on apathia versus autarkis. Apathia is the stoic. It's like, hey,
pain doesn't pain doesn't bother me, right, I'm not. I'm
not persuaded by the circumstances of life. That's certainly not
what apathy means in today's culture.
Speaker 2: Right, I just it's like so many words, you know,
we talked about comfort. Comfort started as a positive inward state,
and it moved to something being like external, like oh,
I'm only comfortable if the temperature is right, and I've
got all these things. I feel like apathy is like
that as well. It started as like, man, what a
great disposition of mind that you could be at, because
it says quietism is apathy disguised under the appearance of devotion,
And that's kind of probably the closest that that webster
gets to what we would say that Right now, I
would say, our modern day apthy is just to sit
by and just wish. Right, It's just like, man, I
hope that someone should do something about that, you know,
and like we are, we have so much information and
outrage fed to us on a daily basis that I
almost think it encourages apathy because it's so overwhelming. You
you know, you can't tackle it all, so you tackle nothing.
Right when you're reading outrage story after outrage of clickbait.
Speaker 3: And I want to just say too. I know for
many of you who listen to this podcast, you are
my fellow hard dogs who would say there's no apath,
no apathy here. Thank you, full of energy, busting at
the seams with purpose for life, and I hope that
is the case. I will just remind you that we always,
none of us are perfect, and myself included, have to
fight apathy sometimes even in the smallest areas of our life,
maybe where it doesn't consume a majority of your life.
You can let it in in the little places. And
so let me just give some definition and then we're
going to talk about some tools on how to destroy
apathy in your life. Really simple definition of apathy. It's
just sitting by and hoping things are going to get better.
Apathy is the opposite of all in, which I'm a
big fan of all in. It's one of the foundations
for me of an unstoppable team. If you don't have
an unstoppable life, you've got to live all in. Apathy
is the opposite of that. I think all in is
multiplication in your life, like it makes if you'll give
everything that you have, that's where you can see greatness.
You know, when, like I say to people all the time,
if you do ninety percent of God's plan, you do zero,
you get zero percent of the results. But when you
do one hundred percent of God's plan, that's when your
life gets totally transformed. And apathy is the opposite. Apathy
divides your life. It turns what could have been great
into something that's terrible. But really simple definition of apathy
is it's just waiting for things to get better, sitting
by and hoping things will improve. And so where you
may see yourself talking again to my fellow hard dogs,
where you may see yourself as someone like I got
so much energy. I would just ask you, are there
any maybe even some small areas in your life where
you're just sitting by and helping things are going to
get better? A problem that you ignore often turns into
a disaster, often turns into a catastrophe. Apathy is very
dangerous on the battlefield. Thus apathy is very dangerous in life.
Apathy simply is just a lack of care, and you
need lots of care.
Speaker 1: What if God, what if God just started saying I
don't really care about that.
Speaker 2: Well, thank God, he doesn't quite literally thank him that
he doesn't. I think what's so interesting though, ge like,
so we've identified it, but what it will sound like
because is that doesn't matter. Someone else will do it.
It's not a big deal. I can do it later.
It's tomorrow. Like when I visited Spain, they had this
wonderful saying, and I say wonderful only if you're on vacation.
It's maniana, right, and that means tomorrow in Spanish. And
what that is is it's like, oh, like, ah, don't
need to worry about it. And like, when you're trying
to get something done and you're working with some people
who have a Maniana mentality, it'll drive you insane because
imagine every time you're like, hey, we really need to
get this, like ah manyana right, tomorrow never comes, as
I think the James Bond movie was titled, or tomorrow
never dies, one of the two.
Speaker 3: It's like when I was dealing with when I spend
time in the Middle East and dealing with people trying
to train people, and they spoke Arabic and they would
say shah a lah meaning God will right.
Speaker 1: But they did they said it in kind of a
Minyana way.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, we have you know, be back here tomorrow,
oh six hundred, we have training. And they'd say, well,
God willing. I'm like, no, no, like you be here,
Allah wills it be here.
Speaker 1: There's no maybe you be here tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good, all right, let's let's dive in, man,
because we're gonna We're gonna get into into this and
I'm very much excited. So like, first of all, we
always lay the foundation of scripture. Man, this this is
not anything new. Like you said, Apathia is in the
Greek and you can read about that in scripture. We're
not going to go deep on that boo Galatians six'. Nine,
man this Was paul. Talking he, says let us not
become weary in doing, good for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give.
Up so much of what we of the race that
we're running is about perseverance and. Endurance it's not about
the quick flash and the pint. Plan it is literally
that this life is a preparation for. Eternity we see
that over and over again in. SCRIPTURE i constantly refer
To John beavie because just the time we spent with
him was so moving and he's a true man Of.
God john's biggest thing when we talked About bible, Heroes
His bible heroes Were daniel And, joseph both because they
finished their, race and that was why he select. Them
joseph is one of yours and you Admire daniel but
for different. Reasons but for him it was because they finished.
Well AND i just think, like here's a guy who's
walked With god for over forty, years impacted millions of,
people and what's he focused?
Speaker 1: On finishing? Well And i'm, like, MAN i want to
do the same.
Speaker 3: Thing you want to be the guy who fully you,
know zero glycogen, left fully exhausted his body and his
spirit is willing him with power across the finish. Line
at the, End it's, like, wow look at the way
that guy. Finished that's what you don't you. Know you
might admire the guy who takes off on the starting line,
quickly but as we were talking about yesterday and mindset,
mastery that's WHY i love the four hundred meter. Run
it's the test of what's on the, inside not just
the test of what's The how big are your glycogen?
Stores AND i want to just give one other thought
to this as we jump into the. Tools The you,
know we're trying to beat up, apathy and Like galatians
six nine, says let us not become weary in doing.
Good what we're not saying that because the way that
you get weary in this is thinking that you're responsible
for it, all that you're in control of it.
Speaker 1: All what has.
Speaker 3: To come with, This this isn't going to be the
focus of. Today i'm just setting this up as we
talk about biblical, foundation THEN i want to talk about the.
Tools what has to be paired with this isn't saying,
WELL i have to do it all.
Speaker 1: Because i'm responsible for it.
Speaker 3: All that's not, true, Right god's responsible for.
Speaker 1: All god is.
Speaker 3: Sovereign BUT i am responsible for everything THAT i can.
Control and so If i'm not giving my, best If
i'm not doing my, best If i'm not, disciplined If
i'm not, Intentional i'm not controlling WHAT i can. Control
so What i'm not going to do is get tired
when it doesn't work. Out, now that's not What i'm
going to. Do i'm going to have a great. Spirit
i'm gonna have a great attitude BECAUSE i Know god's
in control of it all and All i've got to,
do Like god's ninety nine point nine nine nine, percent
And i'm the point zero zero zero zero, one and
that's All i'm going to worry. About i'm going to
make SURE i got the point zero zero zero one
And god's got everything else, Right So i'm not worried
about the total. Outcome WHAT i am worried about Is
i'm going to do everything THAT i can.
Speaker 1: Control so just don't.
Speaker 3: Confuse when you think you're responsible for all of, it
you are going to get very. Tired but when you
Know god's got it AND i just got to do
my little. PIECE i just got to do my little,
piece then then you're not wanting to get. Tired but
let's jump into. It let's talk.
Speaker 1: About three tools to destroy apathy in your.
Speaker 2: Life, yeah and we're gonna we're gonna touch ON i
just want to, say we're going to touch on on
tiredness and everything like that as part of this or
just you, know stay. Tuned but this this really is,
because like you, said it really apathy is something that's
a temptation for all of.
Speaker 1: Us you AND i are not preaching as those who
have like mastered.
Speaker 2: Apathy it's always creeping at your, door, right like looking
for opportunity like, okay, great and so it's it's you
know we've talked about there's the comfort. Crisis like comfort
and apathy go hand in. Hand they're like best. Friends
and so like we have to you, know we have
to be aware that none of us is exempt from,
this AND i just wanted to highlight that because we're
going to touch on, Fatigue we're going to touch on tiredness.
Speaker 1: As part of.
Speaker 2: This but here's the three, tools like go ahead and dive.
In BUT i want to give people that little heads
up BECAUSE i think it's. Important so number one is go. Ahead,
yeah three three tools. Here so the first tool is vision. Casting, okay,
again remember what tools are and mindset master we break
it down into mindsets gill set and tool set right.
Speaker 1: Toolset these we're giving you.
Speaker 3: Things just like IF i give you a, hammer you
got to use it and you can also learn how
to use it. Better but IF i can give it to,
you if you don't do anything with, it it's not worth.
Anything and if you IF i give it to you
and you learn how to use it and use it
better you become more and more. Capable you've got to
be learned how to become a master and a craftsman
with the tools that we have and with the tools
that we give. Away and these are not new, tools
but these are great, reminders, Right and these tools are
used to destroy appathy in your. Life so number one vision. Casting,
okay the vision statement THAT i use to try to
begin a vision casting process with, People, Right what AM
i trying to? Do i'm trying to get you to
see a different life than you. See if you are feeling,
apathetic if you're feeling, tired if you're feeling, upset if
you're feeling, sad you do. THIS i do this with my,
CHILDREN i do this with my, WIFE i do this
with my, teammates AND i do it in different, ways
but Essentially i'm starting with a wouldn't it be great
if what if the world look this? Way what if
tomorrow was? This what if your life look like? This
what if your personal, health what if your? Mindset what
if your fitness look like? This and to get you
to buy, in to imagine what your life would be
like if things were, different and if you decide that
you like, that if you. DON'T i can't make you want,
it BUT i can show it to, you AND i
can get you interested in. It and if you decide
that you want, it then it's going to you'll change your. Actions,
Right if you didn't know something, existed you can't pursue.
Speaker 1: It but once you not it.
Speaker 3: Exists if you'll begin to accept this idea in your own,
mind and if you'll begin to desire it not as
something That i've given, you but as something that you're
going to, pursue then you'll live. Differently so vision, casting for,
me just the STATEMENT i. USE i don't always use it,
directly But i'll just say it. Differently but the statement,
is wouldn't it be great if and.
Speaker 1: WHEN i write vision for a? Business it is the
world that we? Imagine? Right what is the world that you? Imagine?
Vision Give gwinn's definition. Vision we love it so.
Speaker 2: Much i'm sure people might be saying out, there, yeah But,
garrett you know you're that's something that's unique to. You
you're a. Visionary and for sure there are some people
that have greater vision naturally than, others but you know
who the original visionary. Is and this is the encouragement
for all of us is our heavenly. Father my father in,
Law win gave my favorite definition of. Vision he, said
vision is seeing the mind Of god in the presence Of.
God and if you want to know and see vision in,
things go to the original, creator the, designer which Is,
god all of us. Man when we spend time in
the presence Of, god we will begin to see What
he desires in each, area and that will stir great
vision because really what we're doing is we're restoring things
back To god's original design as part of his sons
on the. Earth so when we look at something and
we see what's, possible it's not some great idea that
just popped into our head out of. Nowhere it's something
that's in birth of the desire Of god that we
then go out as sons and. Work that's what sons.
Do they Fulfill god's. Plans so In genesis, one twenty
six and twenty seven we See god's visionary on hand
because it, says Then god, said let us make mankind
in our, image in our, likeness so that they may
rule over the fish in the, sea and the birds
in the, sky and the livestock and the wild. Animals
and then it, says So god created so first he saw,
right Because god is the ultimate. Visionary this is what
we're going to create man for this is the role
they're going to. Play THAT i can have, fellowship that
they can worship, me that they're going to have dominion
over this. Earth That i've already created all the things
that he, made and then he did. It and so for,
us we're Not. God god can do that in a hot.
Millisecond for, us the practice of pursuing the presence Of,
god of getting before, him knowing his mind and his
heart for, things will give you the greatest vision you
could have for any air of your. Life it's very.
Speaker 3: Powerful let me let me also just give you one little,
more one little nugget on vision. Casting, okay sometimes these
tools are they may be foreign to. You if you
went back in, time if you went back in time
to people who built homes with rocks and raw lumber
and showed them a, hammer they would look at it
and throw it on the ground until until you watched
me drive nails into wood with a, hammer and you, said,
well that certainly looks like it works better than my.
Rock and let me show you how or explain to
you how what vision casting can do for, You because
when you're in an apathetic, state you're, saying this doesn't
matter what you. Have you have, imagined you have imagined
a small. World you, said you know, What i'm fat
and it doesn't. MATTER i don't. CARE i like my
life this. Way and you can eat like you can
make your world smaller with these negative thoughts and these negative.
Emotions And i'm not even saying you have to go
to the. Gym What i'm saying is just imagine what
if what would You what would your life be like
if you woke up every day full of? Energy AND
i use fitness sometimes just because it's a simple, analogy
AND i know it's a world that every single one
of us live. In we're not all business, owners not
everyone who listens this podcast is. Married so SOMETIMES i
bring things back to, fitness just AS i know it's
a world we all live. In but what if you
woke up every day full of? Energy what if you
woke up every single day and you like the way
that you look in the? Mirror what if you woke
up every single day and you could be a blessing
to those around. You now when you when you have
that thought as opposed to you Know i'm, TIRED i
don't BUT i don't feel, good AND i Know i'm,
Fat but you know, WHAT i don't even. Care i'm
just going to accept this vision casting is a way
to destroy these, small, dark negative thoughts in your.
Speaker 1: Life, yeah let's, go let's go onto. Them, yeah let's do.
Speaker 2: It this is a unique one to, you G this
is one that people will hear nowhere else THERE i,
say it's an impossible life exclusive Slash Garret Uncle buck
is purpose, compression which is your your very own. Term
so you've got to explain it for those who have
not heard it on previous.
Speaker 1: Plot this this tool is a.
Speaker 3: Superpower and that's just words THAT i put to it
for really combining purpose and perspective at the same. Time
AND i always bring it back to like WHERE i
discovered and you first utilized this tool and, realized, wow
this is a. Superpower WHEN i was going through sealed,
training many people they ran out of, willpower they ran
out of, idea they ran out of want to and
they quit in a. Moment and those, people WHEN i
saw them, later they wished that they, Hadn't but in the,
moment the pain got so. Great the darkness was overwhelming
in that, moment and they gave. Up they succumb to the.
Pressure what purpose compression does is when purpose is a beautiful.
Thing it's a wonderful. Thing it's what we're all supposed to.
Feel ecclesia s these three. Eleven god plays attorney in
the human. Heart there's a longing inside each and every. Person,
God why did you make?
Speaker 1: Me? God why am i? Here it's why man looks
at the.
Speaker 3: Stars but it's hard To it's a soft, voice it's
a subtle hum in the back of your. Mind it's not,
loud and so in a, moment pain can be incredibly.
Loud pain is a megaphone in your, ear and it
can numb all of your other. Senses but purpose compression
is this ability where you will zoom. Out don't zoom
in on. Pain when you zoom in on pain gets.
Worse zoom, out look at purpose over all of your.
Life it's hard to feel purpose in a, moment but
if you can see all of your life in the
context of one, moment WHAT i didn't see training AS i, said,
well this isn't just about the reward of getting to
the next, Day this isn't just about the confidence that
comes from winning in this workout or this beatdown that
we're going. Through this isn't even just about gaining some
military status and achieving a. Career this is everything in
my life is on the other side of. This it's
not just about making it through. Buds it's not just
about becoming an, Abcal it's not just about having a,
great great. Career everything That god wants to do with
my life it's on the other side of. This and
IF i, Quit jesus talked about, this, right don't don't
don't look back when you've set out to plow a.
Field don't build a castle without knowing what it's going
to take to build that. Castle and what you've got
to decide, Is i'm going to look at my entire
life and understand there's purpose at the end of. THIS
i want to hear well, done good and faithful. SERVANT
i want one hundred percent of the Life god's given.
ME i want ninety five AND i want ninety. SEVEN i
don't want eighty. PERCENT i want one hundred percent of
the life That god's given. Me and WHAT i can
see all of that purpose in a lifetime and bring
it back to this. Moment because you can quit in a,
moment you can throw your destiny away in a, moment
and when you can bring all of the purpose back
into one, moment then it becomes louder than the. Pain
so it's all you have To you got to zoom
out and see the whole picture and then bring the
value of your entire life back into this. Moment that's
WHY i call it purpose, compression because most of the
time purpose, is you, know an entire loaf of bread
broken up in a tiny breadcrumbs over your. Life you
got to gather all of that up and bring it
into a moment and then hold that next to the.
Pain and when you look at the pain of giving
up on your destiny versus the pain of any, moment
then you'll SAY i can certainly. Continue that's the power
of purpose.
Speaker 2: Compression, yeah AND i think it's For i'm just GONNA
i always try and put the other side of on.
THIS i think somebody out there might be, going, Like,
okay in seal, TRAINING i can see how you could do,
that or If i'm running an ultra marathon or doing
something big in life where purpose compression becomes a challenge
when you wake up it's a Normal tuesday or whatever
day it, is and you're, LIKE i got set up,
Meetings i've got to take the kids, Here i've got
to do all. That i'm trying to squeeze. Time like
that's whenever you can be thinking creep in and you just,
Go i'm just going to get through. It let's just
get through. Today today's gonna be a busy. ONE i
just got to knock these things, out and you become
a task. Machine but when you can actually stop and, say,
no you know What i'm gonna, Do, Gie i'm going
to walk through everything with The, lord because that's WHAT
i was meant to, Do And i'm going to Invite
god into every single thing THAT i do THAT i
would be pleasing to. HIM i always like to Quote
Brother lawrence in The practice of The presence Of. God
he made it so. Simple he said That god would
never be far from your. Thoughts this was a guy
who if he was sweeping the, floor he was just
thinking About. God so Like i'm doing this on my
day to day, basis, jee you AND i are both very.
BUSY i know you do. THIS i do the same.
THING i Go lord guide me in this, meeting help
me to be. Loving, well wait a, minute these people
don't Know. God they're there to talk about like marketing.
Metrics what do you Mean i'm going to love. Them
i'm going to sow. Encouragement i'm going to be. Positive
i'm going to bring the love Of god into everything
THAT i. Do, wellow that's Why i'm Asking god for his,
help is BECAUSE i want to abide In him and
have his presence with. Me when you can start to do,
that you can make purpose compression because now what is our?
Purpose g to Glorify? God what Is god's? Glory it's
all his? Goodness so how DO i make all his
goodness known in every single thing THAT i? Do, Congratulations
everything in your life just became purposeful when you ask that,
question because now there's nothing you can do that becomes.
Eh because it's, like If i'm there to make the
goodness Of god, KNOWN i better beyond MY i better
be on. It and so LIKE i want to like
when you have that type of. Thing that's why we
say today matters and G number two couples so nicely
with number. THREE i feel like you number two can
fall by the. Wayside without three and three is.
Speaker 1: Truth three is three is the is the really the.
Superpower this is what.
Speaker 3: You need at any moment when WHEN i hear, people you,
know WHEN i hear that that saying and this is
maybe some of it's just the Way god made. Me
but when people say something that's not, true it JUST
i can't help. It LIKE i get that that. ITCH
i got to say something that's not a big. Deal i'm,
like you, know that's ACTUALLY i think it is a
really big. Deal that doesn't. Matter actually it does. Matter
today matters your life, matter every breath That god gives,
you it. Matters so stop taking away value and start
assigning value to all the things in your. Life what
apathy can feel Like sometimes it's LIKE i just NEED
i need a little bit of.
Speaker 1: Rest i'm just.
Speaker 3: Tired but apathy is actually weigh more than. That where
everybody needs, rest you, know every we all need to
lay down for a few. Minutes, Man i'll need to
take a nap every once in a. While but apathy
is more than. That apathy is like. Fatigue it's like
some sort of spiritual mental psychological. Disease it's symptomatic. Tiredness
and the Reason i'm comparing apathy to fatigue is Because patent,
said fatigue makes cowards of us all and you. Don't
you can be you, know you can be out of,
energy you can be, unrested you can need, sleep but
that doesn't mean you're. Exhausted it doesn't mean you're, fatigued
doesn't mean you're. Apathetic what you, Need, like the truth, is,
hey Look i'm not you, Know i'm. NOT i don't
want to. QUIT i just need a, nap, Right i'm
just gonna take a nap And i'll feel.
Speaker 1: BETTER i don't want to give. UP i just need you.
Speaker 3: Know WHAT i would say to my, wife And i'm
not picking on, her but something we would talk about
early in, Marriages, hey you need a. Stinkers it'll help
you a lot in this. Moment right, then let's have,
this let's pause this. Conversation, apathy so oftentimes can just
be this little thing that we've allowed in our.
Speaker 1: Life and this is how what sin.
Speaker 3: Does sin just wants to creep into our life in
a tiny little, place and then it slowly grows and
grows and, grows and it's like weeds in your. Garden
you just let one little one in and, slowly it
chokes out what was supposed to produce. Life and what
we need is truth is the sword that's meant to
cut out apathy in our.
Speaker 1: Life truth is.
Speaker 3: Meant to remove all of this mental, disease all this spiritual.
Disease so it's it's what we said at the Beginning
galatians six.' nine let us not become weary in, doing
good for at the price, upper time we will reap
a harvest if we do not.
Speaker 1: Give up, it says don't.
Speaker 3: Grow weary that's a little bit, like apathy where weariness.
Speaker 1: Is, like man this is just.
Speaker 3: SO hard i JUST don't i DON'T think i want
to do. This anymore and you, know what it's not
even that big of. A deal i could do, other stuff,
AND hey i could still be HAPPY if I if
i did less THAN what i know i'm. Capable of you,
Know what WHY do i have to do what other
PEOPLE think i? Should do WHY can't i just DO
whatever i want? To do this is a small voice
that becomes the worst voice in. Your life and what
you need to, refute it what you need to kick
it out of your life.
Speaker 1: Is truth and that's why we're using scripture what does
the Word of, God.
Speaker 2: Say, nick YEAH it's, i mean this is So perfect
john eight thirty one to.
Speaker 1: Thirty Two so jesus said To the jews who had, believed.
Speaker 2: Him if you abide in, my word you are truly,
my disciples and you will know, the truth and the
truth will set. You, free gee you talking about how
fatigue is like a symptomatic it's like a. Symptomatic tireess
that is one hundred percent a disease of. The mind
and it is because you're lacking truth in. Your life
because with the lower voice that you, just described that
was me in. My, THIRTIES man i was tired all
the TIME and i could not figure. It out and
what it was was this disease thinking that was ultimately
completely focused. On self because that's what the opposite Of worshiping,
god is it's. Worshiping yourself the whole of sin is
when we put ourselves on the throne Instead. Of god
and that's like the summary of all sin is that
you self exalt and then after that your life is
out of order and it all. Falls apart so when
you're sitting, there, LIKE oh i just need, It TIRED
oh i just could.
Speaker 1: Use a little.
Speaker 2: Bit more oh what if, it man you are literally
falling to the disease and you're not a bidying the word,
of truth which when you when You get god's word
in you and you're abidying, that word it will kill that.
Thought process do you still need?
Speaker 1: Intentional? Rest yes whose idea Was that? God's right but like.
Speaker 2: You said that's when you can take. Purpose compression that's
when you can take vision casting when you're a Bidying
in god and find the kind of feel that you
don't feel apathetic about Anything that god's put in.
Speaker 1: Your life it is literally the way that we're meant.
Speaker 2: To live, so gee we want to just like this
is tools and tactics and we just want to just
got in.
Speaker 1: On IT and i want to finish with some of.
Speaker 3: These scriptures let me let us give you the truth
that will set, you free the truth that will destroy
apathy from. Your life you've got to let me remind
you you're going to have. To decide it's. Your choice
what do? You believe you're going to have. TO decide
i want to live a life that's based. On scripture

same way you read all the personal growth and development

better and your life. Didn't change you've got to Decide
that i'm going to read scripture and this is what

apathy in. Your life so let me remind you what.
Scripture says john, chapter eight verse thirty one through. Thirty
Two so jesus said To the jews who had, believed

truth will set. You free that's the power of. The
truth matthew, chapter eleven. Verse twenty, jesus said come, to
me all you who are weary, and BURDEN and i
will give. You rest not giving up on, your calling
not taking value away From what god's put in front
of you that has. Great meaning, JESUS said i will give.
You Rest tewod corinthians, chapter four verse sixteen. Through eighteen
therefore we do not, lose heart though outwardly we're. Wasting
away you're going to have, difficult circumstances yet inwardly we
are being renewed day by day for our light and.
Momentary troubles by, the way he's.
Speaker 1: Talking about just. Your life light and momentary is your,
physical life not all.

for us an eternal glory that far outweighs. Them all
so we fix our eyes not on one. Is seen

you here that wants to keep you focused on, the
temporal that wants to keep you focused on. The worldly
fix your eyes and once ahead know. The truth so
