00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:04.376
We are going to feature a few of our former guests.
00:00:04.958 --> 00:00:06.685
I'm excited and they're going to talk about where they are now.
00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:18.760
So I'm just excited and I had an opportunity to watch the videos and, wow, it was a blessing to see the growth of individuals, because I always say this, I say we go.
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:32.579
Hello y'all.
00:00:33.341 --> 00:00:34.926
We are pumped.
00:00:35.268 --> 00:00:36.350
We are excited.
00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:41.152
This is a moment to be excited to get those juices flowing.
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.036
God has definitely blessed us to make it five years, y'all.
00:00:46.036 --> 00:00:49.808
I mean, I put both hands up, but I'm talking about five years.
00:00:49.808 --> 00:00:52.076
This is a wonderful milestone.
00:00:52.076 --> 00:00:56.347
And again, Adney, I always tell people this that we're not doing this to become rich.
00:00:56.347 --> 00:01:13.084
We just have a desire for people to draw closer to God, and this is why we do it, for Because look, Adney, listen if we just stop and drop everything and we no longer podcast anymore, I know you and I will have a strong conviction that it's something we got to be doing for the Lord, right?
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.468
Fire shut up in my bones, like Jeremiah said.
00:01:17.861 --> 00:01:21.944
You know, you know, jeremiah wanted to quit, jeremiah wanted to quit.
00:01:21.944 --> 00:01:35.007
So I just thank God, add Annie, for this wonderful milestone and making it five years, because I did a live a few days ago and I was just so excited and I was like, oh you know, september 5th is our anniversary.
00:01:35.007 --> 00:01:39.245
And I look back in the archives I said, man, our first episode was September 7th.
00:01:39.245 --> 00:01:40.989
That's the first time.
00:01:40.989 --> 00:01:45.168
Yeah, we actually went live and the first episode was actually episode zero.
00:01:46.221 --> 00:01:57.280
That's pretty much the trailer, how we're talking about what it means to be called by God when you have a calling on your life, why some of us were a little bit hesitant to obey the gospel.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.373
Because I tell people like this, one of the hardest things to do is to obey the gospel.
00:02:02.373 --> 00:02:06.783
Imagine your master tell you you got to let go everything you knew since you were born.
00:02:06.783 --> 00:02:08.506
Just let it go.
00:02:08.506 --> 00:02:09.307
And to follow him.
00:02:09.307 --> 00:02:17.073
And if we tie it into scripture, that's what they did in the Bible the disciples Jesus Christ when he was starting his ministry.
00:02:17.073 --> 00:02:19.444
Here's Jesus Christ walking on the scene.
00:02:19.444 --> 00:02:22.070
He's calling his disciples hey, you follow me.
00:02:22.070 --> 00:02:23.282
Hey, you follow me.
00:02:23.502 --> 00:02:28.112
These individuals had occupations and they just dropped everything just to follow Christ.
00:02:28.112 --> 00:02:32.540
But the requirement that Christ has called us to do is to follow him, so when.
00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:33.342
God has called us.
00:02:33.342 --> 00:02:44.758
So we're lost and we're in a place of darkness, or we're in bondage spiritual bondage and then God is using vessels, his earthen vessels, his ministers, to minister the gospel to individuals.
00:02:44.758 --> 00:02:48.347
He's trying to call them out from bondage to follow him.
00:02:48.347 --> 00:02:50.812
And that's what we did, adney.
00:02:50.812 --> 00:02:51.514
We followed him.
00:02:51.514 --> 00:02:56.530
But I tell people it's the most rewarding decision that I've made.
00:02:57.070 --> 00:03:05.588
But it also was challenging in the beginning, because you got to think about it like this All my life, all I knew was sin, because we're born into sin.
00:03:05.588 --> 00:03:08.750
So I knew to drink hard and party hard.
00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:10.278
I knew to trust hard.
00:03:10.278 --> 00:03:14.669
I knew to do things that was an opposition to God's word, will and may.
00:03:14.669 --> 00:03:19.866
But guess what, addie, I never found happiness, I never felt fulfilled.
00:03:19.866 --> 00:03:23.945
Then, when Jesus Christ said, follow me yeah, it took me about three weeks.
00:03:23.945 --> 00:03:25.600
Then, when Jesus Christ said, follow me yeah, it took me about three weeks After.
00:03:25.600 --> 00:03:36.270
You know, once that three week mark hit, I decided to follow Jesus Christ and that was the best and I mean the best decision I ever made in my whole entire life.
00:03:36.691 --> 00:03:43.977
So the same feeling, adni, that I felt many, many years ago when I obeyed the gospel, that's the same feeling that I want people to have.
00:03:43.977 --> 00:03:48.389
I want people to understand that there's a place of hope that they can have in Jesus Christ.
00:03:48.389 --> 00:03:53.469
I want people to understand that there's a life of peace that they can experience in Jesus Christ.
00:03:53.469 --> 00:03:56.604
I want people to understand that there's a life of love.
00:03:56.604 --> 00:04:02.389
We're not talking about the lustful love that people so call the worldly love that people identify as love.
00:04:02.389 --> 00:04:04.317
I'm talking about that agape love.
00:04:04.317 --> 00:04:18.103
I'm talking about that unconditional love, the love that loves despite what love that you could find, that love, despite despite all the failures and all the things you do, that love still exists and that love is still going to love you.
00:04:18.103 --> 00:04:22.072
So I'm just thanking God and I'm just glorifying God.
00:04:22.072 --> 00:04:22.920
I'm just excited.
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.944
Amen, I'm excited.
00:04:24.944 --> 00:04:30.115
So what are your thoughts on this celebration moment that we're experiencing at this time?
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:38.574
As I sit here and I think about five years, and I said before, there are people who launch businesses.
00:04:38.574 --> 00:04:41.262
Six months there, they've already gone belly up.
00:04:41.262 --> 00:04:42.886
Months there, they've already gone belly up.
00:04:42.886 --> 00:04:57.935
But to go through, like when we started this podcast, it was during COVID my brother was in the hospital.
00:04:57.935 --> 00:05:05.550
We ended up losing my brother and it was one of those moments where it was like the Lord was saying are you going to still follow me or are you going to let go of me?
00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:06.733
Right, and it's like no, I'm still following you.
00:05:06.733 --> 00:05:10.666
I may not be perfect in how I'm following you, but I'm not letting go of your hands.
00:05:10.666 --> 00:05:25.129
So that's what these five years have really exemplified for me is holding on, holding on to that, like putting an extra knot in that rope, and holding on because without him I would not be here.
00:05:25.129 --> 00:05:36.505
These five years have signified heartbreak, grief, potential, love.
00:05:36.505 --> 00:05:42.310
Like in all of it, it all encompasses a growth period for me.
00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:44.071
It all encompasses a growth period for me.
00:05:45.091 --> 00:05:52.637
Doing this podcast has been more fulfilling for me than anything I can ever say why?
00:05:52.637 --> 00:05:54.057
Because I'm not doing it for me.
00:05:54.057 --> 00:06:05.831
I'm doing it because number one, I've fallen in love with the idea that I wasn't given when I became a Christian was making disciples.
00:06:05.831 --> 00:06:11.288
I've fallen in love with the idea of what it looks like when Christ says follow me.
00:06:11.288 --> 00:06:13.853
It's not me just following him.
00:06:13.853 --> 00:06:19.805
I am literally supposed to pattern my life after his teachings.
00:06:19.805 --> 00:06:29.857
So learning that and then teaching that to other people has been like a source of peace for me.
00:06:29.857 --> 00:06:34.571
If I wasn't doing the podcast, I don't think I would have honestly had that mindset.
00:06:34.571 --> 00:06:49.427
And I'm going to be honest because to meet new people, to have conversations with people who talk about discipleship, to even do the biblical characters, and you're like, oh my gosh, this person did this and oh my goodness, this is how it mirrors my life.
00:06:49.427 --> 00:06:54.605
And then is this the word of God speaking to you, Right?
00:06:54.946 --> 00:06:59.814
So when I look at that, I think about the five years.
00:06:59.814 --> 00:07:01.663
Has it been perfect?
00:07:01.663 --> 00:07:02.824
Absolutely not.
00:07:02.824 --> 00:07:04.367
Have I stumbled and fallen?
00:07:04.367 --> 00:07:05.571
Absolutely.
00:07:05.571 --> 00:07:12.432
But what I've learned through all of it is that my Savior loves me.
00:07:12.432 --> 00:07:14.197
He asked me to follow him.
00:07:14.197 --> 00:07:18.807
He knew I was going to stumble and fall and I keep my hands in his.
00:07:18.807 --> 00:07:28.427
And as I celebrate these five years on the podcast, plus the years that I've already been a member of the body, it's really an honor.
00:07:28.427 --> 00:07:40.961
It's really an honor to have someone tell me to follow them and not follow them, because just to follow them it's follow them, because I am the way, the truth and the life.
00:07:40.961 --> 00:07:43.288
I am the fulfillment of your life.
00:07:43.288 --> 00:07:44.992
I am the one that gives you peace.
00:07:44.992 --> 00:07:56.833
I am the one that, honestly, there is no man on this earth that can love me the way my savior loves me, and that's the thing I learned about this whole going through these five years.
00:07:57.540 --> 00:07:57.800
Yeah.
00:07:58.281 --> 00:07:58.523
Yeah.
00:07:58.603 --> 00:08:02.172
Yeah, it's, it's definitely, uh, uh, it is definitely a blessing.
00:08:02.172 --> 00:08:08.112
Um first, um, before I even cause I know I went into this spiel with so much excitement.
00:08:08.112 --> 00:08:13.031
First of all, I want to give a shout out to all of our supporters.
00:08:13.031 --> 00:08:22.401
You know there are a few people that do support us financially and you know I definitely want to take the time off to thank them, because it's because of them.
00:08:22.401 --> 00:08:24.569
We always say keep the lights on, right?
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:28.466
I just want to thank them for keeping the lights on.
00:08:28.846 --> 00:08:38.701
And also, I think the most rewarding thing not most, but one of the top rewarding things is, like you said, adni, we're reaching a global audience.
00:08:38.701 --> 00:08:53.715
So I also want to give a shout out to those that listen to us in Ghana, to those that listen to us in Germany, to those that listen to us in Germany, to those that listen to us in Canada, to those that listen to us in Singapore, france, and the list goes on and on.
00:08:53.715 --> 00:08:58.090
And I know, oftentimes I usually don't give a shout out to those places that listen to us.
00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:03.029
But you know, I do see and I tell people, like all we're doing is just planting the seed.
00:09:03.029 --> 00:09:09.870
You know we plant, somebody else is going to come back and water, but in the end it's God who gives us the increase.
00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:13.764
I'm not trying to force somebody into salvation.
00:09:13.764 --> 00:09:19.505
I don't think God would want us to hold somebody on one leg and try to grab them and pull them so they can obey the gospel.
00:09:19.505 --> 00:09:21.671
This is just an act of God love.
00:09:21.671 --> 00:09:25.759
We speak the truth in love, but at the same time, we're being patient.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.725
We're being patient that God touched the hearts of men and women that they too can obey the gospel.
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:39.552
So it's just a blessing knowing that, because I'll tell you, adney, you know, the first time we actually did an episode, the first episode was your episode.
00:09:39.552 --> 00:09:45.432
So I know the first episode yes, it was episode 00, but the second episode following that was yours.
00:09:45.432 --> 00:09:47.908
It was Straddling the Fence, episode number one.
00:09:47.908 --> 00:09:58.807
And it was a weird feeling just to press play Because it was filled with so much emotions, especially if it's something that you've never done before.
00:09:58.807 --> 00:10:00.586
You didn't know what to expect.
00:10:00.586 --> 00:10:04.606
You didn't know the feedback you was going to get.
00:10:05.048 --> 00:10:11.250
But one thing that we knew, though we knew that we would all come, you know, through a form of spiritual attack.
00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:16.451
We knew that the minute that a person opened their mouth for God, we know they're prone to attack.
00:10:16.451 --> 00:10:18.101
So we knew that for the most part.
00:10:18.101 --> 00:10:24.160
But you know, looking back in hindsight and even to present day, you know.
00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:30.892
That's why I said you know, I give God the glory because if it was up to me, I would have stopped a long time ago.
00:10:30.892 --> 00:10:33.663
I would have stopped a long time ago.
00:10:33.743 --> 00:10:48.845
But you know, sometimes God use individuals, god use people, god use certain things, signs to remind us why we're doing a thing, and if those people that ministered to us about the gospel would have gave up on us, who knows?
00:10:48.845 --> 00:10:50.890
We probably would have been where we are right now.
00:10:50.890 --> 00:10:52.863
We probably would have obeyed the gospel at a later time.
00:10:52.863 --> 00:10:53.585
We don't know that.
00:10:53.585 --> 00:11:05.942
But it's just the thought of having a love for souls, having a love for people to the point where you don't care about the money, you just say, man, I just want people to be saved.
00:11:06.482 --> 00:11:15.475
So this, this podcast, came out at the heart of the pandemic and the genesis of the pandemic and we just wanted to give people hope that death is not the end.
00:11:15.475 --> 00:11:24.256
You know, sometimes when people lose loved ones, they, they cry and they do this and that, but you know when you are right with with God, I mean, death is not the end.
00:11:24.256 --> 00:11:30.129
You know that where, if you obey the gospel, where Christ is there, where you will be with him in glory.
00:11:30.129 --> 00:11:40.172
But so you know, that's the whole thing about this podcast and I'm just so overly gracious and thankful for God for giving us the strength as I alluded to.
00:11:41.061 --> 00:11:53.932
I'm overjoyed because the scripture says blessed are those who die in the Lord To be able to use this specific platform to minister to lost souls.
00:11:53.932 --> 00:11:57.100
Will people attack the podcast?
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:03.850
Absolutely, they attacked Christ, they attacked creatures, they attack the men of God.
00:12:03.850 --> 00:12:09.115
So this podcast, we know, will come under attack.
00:12:09.115 --> 00:12:18.745
But the beauty of it is knowing that when you get a text message like for me, I received a text message I want to say it was either last year or the year before.
00:12:18.745 --> 00:12:20.049
Hey, is this you?
00:12:20.049 --> 00:12:23.304
And I'm like, yeah, because this person.
00:12:23.345 --> 00:12:34.452
In that point in time in their life they were listening to my segment and it blessed them to the point where they went to others and say, hey, you need to hear the sister.
00:12:34.452 --> 00:12:42.261
I'm like there was nothing spectacular about Adney, right, it's all.
00:12:42.261 --> 00:12:47.750
I learned a lesson from my spiritual mom, and that is.
00:12:47.750 --> 00:12:50.982
As long as God gives me breath, I will share his story.
00:12:50.982 --> 00:12:58.047
Anything that happened to me in my life it's not my life, it's his, because the moment he takes my breath'm dead, right.
00:12:58.047 --> 00:13:07.061
But if, if I go through anything in life, how dare I not open my mouth and share the testimony of how he brought me through?
00:13:07.061 --> 00:13:08.924
I'm not supposed to be here.
00:13:08.945 --> 00:13:15.966
I'm not like I was supposed to be dead already, right in the eyes of man, the abuse, everything that I endure.
00:13:15.966 --> 00:13:27.240
I'm not supposed to be here, but God said I got plans for you.
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:39.673
So when I think about the podcast and how it afforded me the opportunity to share my testimony, it's not just me going to a ladies day to speak, it's not that, it's just being able to sit down and the Lord says open your mouth and share my story.
00:13:39.673 --> 00:13:55.422
From the moment I left the Bahamas to now, right, 46 year old woman and I am and I said this in Bible study yesterday I am in awe of God.
00:13:55.422 --> 00:13:57.745
I am in awe of God.
00:13:58.365 --> 00:14:13.803
Every time I read his word, something comes alive to me and the word becomes more delicious, and that's what I want people who are not following him to experience.
00:14:13.823 --> 00:14:21.215
There's nothing like sitting down, reading the word and the Holy Spirit illuminating things for you.
00:14:21.215 --> 00:14:42.779
To me, as a person who's never had a relationship with the Lord, if you sit down and just open the word and ask God to speak to you through his word oh my gosh, the blessing word.
00:14:42.779 --> 00:14:43.260
Oh my gosh, the blessing.
00:14:43.260 --> 00:14:47.307
So that's one of the things I love about this podcast, because we're not doing this for us.
00:14:47.307 --> 00:15:03.899
We've gone through the trenches, we still have thorns in our flesh that we've been asking God to remove, and he says my grace is sufficient, right, and then you're holding on, and then it's like his word starts getting more delicious.
00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:16.927
And then we get to share the biblical characters, and we get to share other people's testimony, and someone out there who doesn't even know Christ says, oh my gosh, this is what I need.
00:15:16.927 --> 00:15:28.332
To me, that's the part that brings me such joy, because it's not about Adney, it's not about Nick, it's about God getting the glory through all of it.
00:15:29.841 --> 00:15:31.001
Amen, amen.
00:15:31.001 --> 00:15:38.614
So, but I do want our viewers to stay to the end because, um, we're gonna feature some of our past guests.
00:15:38.614 --> 00:15:41.024
I know you and I spoke about this in the past.
00:15:41.024 --> 00:15:46.342
Uh, because we, we really wanted to know where our previous guests like, what are they doing now?
00:15:46.342 --> 00:15:49.289
And so we started the mini series where are they now?
00:15:49.289 --> 00:15:49.711
Series.
00:15:49.711 --> 00:16:02.255
But we initially wanted to create an actual series on that, but I figured, you know, for the sake of this anniversary, we are going to feature a few of our former guests.
00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:04.385
And they're going to talk about where they are now.
00:16:04.721 --> 00:16:19.662
So I'm just excited and I had an opportunity to watch the videos and wow it was like it was a blessing to see the growth of individuals, because I always say this I say we go from one one faith to another level, degree of faith.
00:16:19.662 --> 00:16:21.505
I call it for going from faith to faith.
00:16:21.505 --> 00:16:25.482
Yeah, when you're a christian, you're not supposed to be the same.
00:16:25.482 --> 00:16:27.508
You are not supposed to be the same.
00:16:27.508 --> 00:16:40.639
So, adding you know, last year, last year and also, I also want our viewers to know that we are doing a giveaway, because last year I don't know if maybe you can refresh my memory I think we gave a $50 gift card last year.
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.533
I think we gave a $50 gift card last year.
00:16:42.595 --> 00:16:43.520
yes, that was last year, right, and.
00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:52.692
I think we gave a t-shirt, yeah, last year and we gave a t-shirt, yeah, yeah, so this year, this year, we're doing a $100 giveaway.
00:16:52.692 --> 00:17:00.028
$100 giveaway and folks, they'll just have to go on our Facebook page and the links are up there.

So you got a hundred dollar giveaway.
00:17:03.192 --> 00:17:04.875
And also guess what?
00:17:04.875 --> 00:17:05.215

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.721
This is one of the mics.
00:17:08.721 --> 00:17:09.780
Oh, one of the first Turner Turner.
00:17:09.780 --> 00:17:10.901
You got it upside down.
00:17:10.901 --> 00:17:12.060
There you go.
00:17:13.001 --> 00:17:18.962
Yeah, this, this is like one of the mics that I bought, I want to say, about two or three years ago.
00:17:18.962 --> 00:17:26.286
Okay, and I say and this is a really good mic, it's a podcaster mic, it's a road mic, really good, great company.
00:17:26.286 --> 00:17:29.865
And I'm giving this away for free to a winner.
00:17:29.865 --> 00:17:31.027
And I told him.
00:17:31.027 --> 00:17:34.387
I said like hey, it has to be somebody in the United States.
00:17:34.387 --> 00:17:38.868
You know, sorry for all my international viewers, please don't take it personal.
00:17:38.868 --> 00:17:42.789
Um, I just that's serious.
00:17:45.451 --> 00:17:47.791
Oh, I could give it to someone from international.
00:17:47.791 --> 00:17:49.392
They just have to pay for shipping, right.
00:17:49.852 --> 00:17:50.192
Yeah.
00:17:50.811 --> 00:17:56.334
But no, it's only limited to to us um, us, um people that that sign in.
00:17:56.334 --> 00:18:00.075
But yeah, it's a good podcast, mike, so there's a campaign that's going on.
00:18:00.075 --> 00:18:11.897
You could go on the website wwwcallbygodpodcastcom or you could go on the Facebook page, search us on a call by God podcast Facebook page and you can see all the links.
00:18:11.897 --> 00:18:19.766
So just wanted to give back just wanted to give back.
00:18:19.786 --> 00:18:20.333
God bless the best of us.
00:18:20.353 --> 00:18:30.424
It's not only about asking and I rarely, I would say we, we rarely ask for money, but I'm sure if we do, there will be people out there that would support us financially.
00:18:30.444 --> 00:18:30.846
Of course.
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:45.026
I get so caught up with the testimonies, I get so caught up with gospel, I get so caught up with the biblical characters that sometimes it just slipped my mind to even, you know, just ask people if they could support the channel but there are people that do support.
00:18:45.026 --> 00:18:46.771
They'll share the podcast.
00:18:46.771 --> 00:18:54.891
They'll share it, they'll listen to it or they'll share with loved ones and as I mentioned before, there's people that support it financially.
00:18:54.891 --> 00:18:57.304
And we want to like.
00:18:57.304 --> 00:19:00.971
We thank you so much from the bottom of our heart.
00:19:01.553 --> 00:19:01.794
Yeah.
00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:08.945
Supporting the podcast financially by way of your donation, so I'm thankful for that, thank you.
00:19:08.945 --> 00:19:19.628
Thank you, any closing, closing remarks or closing thoughts, cause this is just a moment for us just to think about how good has God, how good that God has been to us for the past five years.
00:19:20.362 --> 00:19:35.009
I say, lord, thank you, give us strength to continue for another five years and five years after that, until you call us home, because in another five years I'm going to be in my 50s.
00:19:35.009 --> 00:19:37.511
I don't know how vibrant I'm going to be in my 50s.
00:19:37.511 --> 00:19:49.709
I don't know how vibrant I'm going to be, but I know that as long as he gives me breath, I'll be connected to the Call by God podcast and to the Lord says well, adni, your assignment here on earth is complete.
00:19:49.709 --> 00:19:53.079
I am taking you home greetings.
00:19:53.483 --> 00:19:54.472
Call by God family.
00:19:54.472 --> 00:19:55.240
I'm Carl Lauren.
00:19:55.240 --> 00:20:00.449
I'm Lakeisha Lauren and we were both on the Call by God episode.
00:20:00.449 --> 00:20:04.920
I was on episode 243 and 244, the spiritual entrepreneur.
00:20:06.364 --> 00:20:12.279
And I was on multiple episodes Connecting the Dots, so episode 197 and 199.
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:18.478
And then I was part of the Motherhood series, episodes 245 to 248.
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.721
And I was part of the motherhood series, episodes 245 to 248.
00:20:21.721 --> 00:20:22.362
And how I grew.
00:20:22.362 --> 00:20:26.683
Since that episode I've been in multiple ministries.
00:20:26.683 --> 00:20:40.711
I've been in youth ministry leading the youth, teaching them after worship, and also the pre-turnup, which I call the Spiritual Pep Rally prayer service before worship.
00:20:41.352 --> 00:20:42.332
All right, all right.
00:20:42.332 --> 00:20:46.034
Well for me, how I evolve spiritually.
00:20:46.034 --> 00:20:47.134
Let's speak again.
00:20:47.134 --> 00:20:47.515
Okay.
00:20:47.515 --> 00:20:57.643
So just being funny, I got a part of a book project it's going to be launching soon.
00:20:57.643 --> 00:20:59.829
Actually, it's going to be a virtual book launch coming up on August 30th.
00:20:59.829 --> 00:21:02.585
It's Joyfully Courageous, book 2.
00:21:02.585 --> 00:21:07.125
My chapter is Forgiving what I Buried.
00:21:07.125 --> 00:21:19.460
Also, I got involved in an acapella singing group, giving All Glory to God, a project where I started out initially searching for Him and now we both do it together.
00:21:20.143 --> 00:21:22.366
Amen, we thank you, we love you.
00:21:22.366 --> 00:21:28.301
Happy 5th anniversary, called by God thank you for this ministry that's touching so many lives.

I was on episodes 160 through 165 with the amazing Call by God podcast.
00:21:41.431 --> 00:21:44.648
What am I doing spiritually?
00:21:44.648 --> 00:21:46.685
How have I spiritually involved?
00:21:46.685 --> 00:21:47.970
I am daily.
00:21:47.970 --> 00:21:52.592
I'm on a daily journey of continually doing what God has called me to do.
00:21:52.592 --> 00:22:02.566
That's from national advocacy, that's from working with preciousels, eradicating domestic violence and leading women's Bible ministries.
00:22:02.566 --> 00:22:04.871
I am busy.
00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:04.376
