- the head of my life.
- 00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:04.090

- Today, on Living by Faith...
- 00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:00.270
- - All right, today's broadcast
- 00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:03.250
- is just exciting to me personally.
- 00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:06.230
- It's exciting for me--
- 00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:07.290
- - For both of us.
- 00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:08.280
- - In so many different ways.
- 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.150
- But I need you to watch this first
- 00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:12.160
- and then we'll get right back to ya
- 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.190
- and let you know who our special guest are.
- 00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:17.130
- - Glory to God, we're gonna bring up Minister Brelin
- 00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:29.210
- And Minister Tim, we want this union
- 00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:32.150
- to be exulted and lifted up, why?
- 00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:35.180
- Because they did it right, they did it
- 00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:38.050
- according to the word of God, and
- 00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:40.070
- we want to command the attention of the world.
- 00:02:40.070 --> 00:02:44.020
- - Our phones blew up! - Boop boop boop boop
- 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:50.190
- And we just looked at each other.
- 00:02:50.190 --> 00:02:52.080
- - We want youth from all over to see the blessing of God
- 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.220
- on their lives and how God has to honor them
- 00:02:55.220 --> 00:02:58.190
- as they've honored Him, we want to pray for the ministry
- 00:02:58.190 --> 00:03:03.160
- that's on their life, that God will lift it up
- 00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:07.000
- as a trophy in his hand to show this is what I'll do
- 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.190
- when you do it right, we decree and declare it
- 00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:16.030
- out of their bellies shall flow rivers
- 00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:19.060
- of life giving water, to every stale and stagnated
- 00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:24.260
- place that they'll go into when they open their mouth
- 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:27.250
- to minister, the refreshing of the Lord shall fall afresh
- 00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:31.190
- on all that will hear their ministry.
- 00:03:31.190 --> 00:03:35.080
- And just like Saul said for David, I decree and declare
- 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.110
- that invitations are coming and they will come
- 00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:42.060
- and represent the sound of the Lord.
- 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.130
- And we're thinking they shall be received and
- 00:03:49.130 --> 00:03:51.270
- they shall be heard and bondage shall be destroyed
- 00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:56.020
- and the standard of the Lord shall be raised up
- 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.050
- in the earth like never before.
- 00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:02.040
- If you agree with this, say Amen. Hallelujah, glory be.
- 00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:06.090
- And without further ado, hashtag.
- 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.030
- - [Both] Meet the Bowman's.
- 00:04:16.030 --> 00:04:18.160
- - [DeeDee and Bri] Hey. - [Mike] Guys.
- 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.000
- - [Mike] What's happening?
- 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.180
- Mr. and Mrs. Bowman.
- 00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:24.230
- - Yes.
- 00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:26.000
- - That's something, I'm first of all
- 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.010
- getting adjusted to.
- 00:04:27.010 --> 00:04:28.030
- Are you adjusting to?
- 00:04:28.030 --> 00:04:29.090
- - I am too.
- 00:04:29.090 --> 00:04:30.090
- - You are, 'cause I am too.
- 00:04:30.090 --> 00:04:32.230
- I am too, but I'm so excited so.
- 00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:35.090
- - This story is an exciting story.
- 00:04:35.090 --> 00:04:37.240
- I'm really.
- 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.210
- It's a surreal kind of deal you know,
- 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:46.110
- at age 13 you decide
- 00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:50.160
- to take me up on something
- 00:04:51.150 --> 00:04:54.260
- that I've proposed and presented to you
- 00:04:54.260 --> 00:04:57.100
- as I've done, of course,
- 00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:59.030
- with your sister.
- 00:04:59.030 --> 00:05:01.060
- You watched that whole episode.
- 00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:03.080
- Then you had an opportunity to watch her life.
- 00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.050
- Now you're 13,
- 00:05:08.090 --> 00:05:10.050
- and you signed the covenant commitment.
- 00:05:10.050 --> 00:05:14.060
- - Right.
- 00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:15.100
- - What are your thoughts like back then?
- 00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:17.190
- Let's try to go back.
- 00:05:17.190 --> 00:05:19.030
- - Well it's funny that you ask
- 00:05:19.030 --> 00:05:20.250
- because I found a paper of a speech
- 00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:23.180
- that I wrote before I actually signed the paper
- 00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:26.040
- at my 13th birthday party.
- 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.070
- I said, "I'm not just doing this out of formality
- 00:05:28.070 --> 00:05:31.010
- "or just because I saw it."
- 00:05:31.010 --> 00:05:33.080
- But because this is a decision
- 00:05:33.080 --> 00:05:35.040
- that I wanted to make for my own self.
- 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.100
- - Wait a minute, make sure I'm clear.
- 00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:38.260
- You wrote yourself a letter?
- 00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:40.200
- - No, I was making a speech at the covenant ceremony.
- 00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:43.270
- - Oh you went back to review.
- 00:05:43.270 --> 00:05:45.220
- - Right I went back over it.
- 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:46.290
- - The video footage.
- 00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:47.240
- I haven't seen that.
- 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.110
- - Yeah, it was a paper we kept.
- 00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:51.040
- - Yeah, I keep all of those kind of papers.
- 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.130
- I'm real sentimental.
- 00:05:53.130 --> 00:05:55.060
- - So to see that now when I'm married
- 00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:58.240
- to go back to 13 and say,
- 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.100
- "Okay, yeah, it was something that was
- 00:06:00.100 --> 00:06:02.020
- "really in my heart that I wanted to do."
- 00:06:02.020 --> 00:06:04.030
- And not just because my sister did it.
- 00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:05.240
- Or because my father said do it,
- 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.150
- but because something I knew that God commanded us to do.
- 00:06:07.150 --> 00:06:11.010
- - Well certainly your sister helped you.
- 00:06:11.010 --> 00:06:12.240
- - Absolutely, absolutely.
- 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.110
- - In wanting to see the same thing.
- 00:06:14.110 --> 00:06:17.000
- First of all, let's back up.
- 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.060
- Let's back up.
- 00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:20.230
- How did you feel at her wedding day
- 00:06:20.230 --> 00:06:24.160
- when she presented that?
- 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.270
- 'Cause at that particular time
- 00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:29.030
- you're much further along in the process,
- 00:06:29.030 --> 00:06:31.180
- you've made the commitment for a few years now.
- 00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:34.230
- She hands a certificate to me.
- 00:06:34.230 --> 00:06:37.070
- That doesn't go and do anything near
- 00:06:37.070 --> 00:06:40.080
- the response you all--
- 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.060
- - Well it did for me.
- 00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:43.170
- - Ha ya ya ya ya ya ya.
- 00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:45.100
- - It did for me, it gave me a second wind.
- 00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:48.130
- You know, in the sense of really say,
- 00:06:48.130 --> 00:06:50.140
- okay if she did it, she made it to the finish line,
- 00:06:50.140 --> 00:06:52.250
- there's no way I cannot do it.
- 00:06:52.250 --> 00:06:55.280
- So for me it went viral in my life.
- 00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:59.050
- You know, so that's - [DeeDee] That's good.
- 00:06:59.050 --> 00:07:00.240
- what I love the most about it. - [Mike] Chaka Khan.
- 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.080
- - [Bre] Because now my life, - [Mike] My, my, my, my
- 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:03.170
- can be an example - [Mike] that's good.
- 00:07:03.170 --> 00:07:05.070
- - [Bre] just as hers was to me.
- 00:07:05.070 --> 00:07:07.020
- - Yeah, and so if we had more
- 00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:10.040
- big sisters participating in that capacity.
- 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.120
- Imagine the impact.
- 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.160
- You compare that with something
- 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.020
- so magnificent and massive.
- 00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:22.190
- It went viral in your spirit.
- 00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:25.110
- The same capacity that it took on
- 00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:28.220
- in the earth, it happened in your spirit.
- 00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:32.250
- - [Bre] Absolutely.
- 00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:34.000
- - Now well your husband is here.
- 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.050
- You know, we can't prove that, you understand?
- 00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:40.030
- We're gonna put him on the Maury show
- 00:07:40.030 --> 00:07:42.210
- and hook him up to a lie detector or something.
- 00:07:42.210 --> 00:07:46.040
- Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Bowman.
- 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.160
- Tim Bowman Junior. - [Tim] Junior.
- 00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:51.220
- - I love your family.
- 00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:54.160
- I love you.
- 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.050
- I'm just grateful to God
- 00:07:57.140 --> 00:07:59.010
- about this whole thing.
- 00:07:59.010 --> 00:08:01.020
- This whole connection.
- 00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:02.240
- We, DeeDee and I,
- 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.060
- since this girl was
- 00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.270
- two, three years old.
- 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.170
- Put on our board, praying for her husband.
- 00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:14.220
- We had no idea,
- 00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:16.180
- that it would be a funny looking cat.
- 00:08:17.170 --> 00:08:19.100
- (everyone laughs)
- 00:08:19.100 --> 00:08:20.260
- - With so much swag.
- 00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:21.290
- - With so much swag.
- 00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:23.180
- So in the interim now,
- 00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:26.130
- you are making a personal
- 00:08:26.130 --> 00:08:28.230
- commitment yourself with God.
- 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:31.080
- - Absolutely.
- 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:32.080
- - Tell us about your story.
- 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.280
- - Mines is a little less glamorous
- 00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:36.070
- than my beautiful wife's. - [Mike] Okay, alright.
- 00:08:36.070 --> 00:08:37.280
- - [Tim] But it is a commitment and a covenant nonetheless.
- 00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:40.210
- Basically, I didn't make one with my parents.
- 00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:44.240
- But what they instilled in me
- 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.170
- much like what you guys instilled in her.
- 00:08:47.170 --> 00:08:49.210
- - Yeah.
- 00:08:49.210 --> 00:08:50.190
- - I decided to honor God.
- 00:08:50.190 --> 00:08:52.100
- And what the Bible tells us we should
- 00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:54.080
- do with our bodies prior to marriage.
- 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.180
- - I mean,
- 00:08:56.180 --> 00:08:57.150
- how involved.
- 00:08:57.150 --> 00:09:01.220
- Of course you were raised in the church.
- 00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:04.210
- - Right, church kid.
- 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:05.240
- - Church kid.
- 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.080
- - People say I've been 60 years old since I've been 14.
- 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.200
- And I have a very old soul.
- 00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:12.070
- - Yeah this is true.
- 00:09:12.070 --> 00:09:13.050
- - I love going to church.
- 00:09:13.050 --> 00:09:15.170
- We are the church.
- 00:09:15.170 --> 00:09:16.250
- - We are the church, we understand that.
- 00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:18.070
- - But you know,
- 00:09:18.070 --> 00:09:19.200
- just being with the people. - [DeeDee] Fellowship
- 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.180
- - [DeeDee] and the worship.
- 00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:21.160
- - The whole church scene.
- 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.110
- - Love it.
- 00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:23.100
- - And all this about.
- 00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:24.190
- We were in a church, not too long ago.
- 00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:27.230
- A week or so ago.
- 00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:29.090
- And the pastor said the same thing.
- 00:09:29.090 --> 00:09:31.020
- He said, "I just love church."
- 00:09:31.020 --> 00:09:33.020
- And she turned to me and said,
- 00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:34.180
- "That's what Tim was talking about right there."
- 00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:37.060
- - There's nothing like it.
- 00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:38.160
- - There's nothing like church.
- 00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:39.260
- But you're growing up.
- 00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:42.110
- And it's having the effect and the impact.
- 00:09:42.110 --> 00:09:45.130
- And you're saying, unlike most young men
- 00:09:45.130 --> 00:09:48.240
- who are even in church.
- 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.090
- - Yeah, because it's not that common.
- 00:09:50.090 --> 00:09:52.060
- It should be.
- 00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:53.200
- - But at the same time
- 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.030
- as we have prayed for her,
- 00:09:55.030 --> 00:09:58.070
- she has been praying the whole time.
- 00:09:58.070 --> 00:10:01.030
- God if I'm going to preserve myself.
- 00:10:01.030 --> 00:10:05.010
- - To save myself as they say.
- 00:10:05.010 --> 00:10:07.020
- - Right.
- 00:10:07.020 --> 00:10:07.260
- Why can't I believe you
- 00:10:07.260 --> 00:10:12.040
- for someone who's doing the same thing right now?
- 00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:14.270
- - Absolutely, and it felt so good.
- 00:10:14.270 --> 00:10:16.240
- 'Cause when me and Brelyn decided to date,
- 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.230
- I had so much respect for her.
- 00:10:20.230 --> 00:10:23.020
- So when she told me that
- 00:10:23.020 --> 00:10:25.230
- it was so important for her to
- 00:10:25.230 --> 00:10:28.250
- be with somebody who had saved themselves.
- 00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:31.060
- To be able to stand in that situation
- 00:10:31.060 --> 00:10:33.110
- and in that moment,
- 00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:34.270
- and know that you've saved yourself,
- 00:10:34.270 --> 00:10:37.070
- it felt so good.
- 00:10:37.070 --> 00:10:38.260
- - Were you praying for the similar kind of outcome or?
- 00:10:38.260 --> 00:10:42.060
- - Not at all.
- 00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:43.100
- - You wasn't thinking along that?
- 00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:44.040
- - You weren't?
- 00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:44.280
- - I weren't.
- 00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:46.030
- I wasn't, I wasn't praying I want a virgin.
- 00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:47.170
- - Obviously y'all never had this kind of discussion.
- 00:10:47.170 --> 00:10:49.120
- - Yeah, I wasn't praying for it.
- 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.290
- It's just something that.
- 00:10:51.290 --> 00:10:53.280
- I'm real diligent.
- 00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:55.200
- I'm a real diligent person,
- 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.290
- so it wasn't about anybody else doing it.
- 00:10:56.290 --> 00:10:59.140
- It was about what I needed to do
- 00:10:59.140 --> 00:11:02.100
- in the commitment that I made.
- 00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:04.040
- So I'm really not saying that you praying for it.
- 00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:07.100
- But it was just something for me.
- 00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:09.040
- Yeah, but I didn't pray for it.
- 00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:10.080
- - Well we gotta go to break.
- 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.280
- But I wanna find out,
- 00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:13.280
- what you would tell another young man.
- 00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:18.020
- Because we need more young men like you.
- 00:11:18.020 --> 00:11:20.210
- And then secondly, I would like for you
- 00:11:20.210 --> 00:11:23.000
- to explain this whole purity piece.
- 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.020
- Because purity is not just abstaining from the sexual act.
- 00:11:26.020 --> 00:11:29.280
- 'Cause you can have all kind of
- 00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:31.260
- perverted things going on in your soul.
- 00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:34.190
- And that will disqualify you
- 00:11:34.190 --> 00:11:37.100
- as for being pure.
- 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.040
- And so when we come back,
- 00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:41.140
- with the Bowman's, we're gonna have
- 00:11:42.150 --> 00:11:44.230
- those questions answered.
- 00:11:44.230 --> 00:11:47.000
- Stay tuned.
- 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.070
- - Hola!
- 00:11:55.260 --> 00:11:56.210
- Boom, boom, boom, boom!
- 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.270
- Babe, let's go.
- 00:12:00.290 --> 00:12:02.060
- We're going to get our marriage license today.
- 00:12:03.170 --> 00:12:05.240
- Whoop, whoop, whoop!
- 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.150
- - Turn up, turn up, turn up
- 00:12:07.150 --> 00:12:09.030
- - You look cute!
- 00:12:09.030 --> 00:12:10.280
- So, we're excited.
- 00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:13.000
- I'm a little nervous because
- 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.090
- (clears throat)
- 00:12:14.090 --> 00:12:15.150
- - What are you nervous for?
- 00:12:15.150 --> 00:12:16.100
- - Signing my life away.
- 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:17.100
- (laughs)
- 00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:18.050
- - No, no, no.
- 00:12:18.050 --> 00:12:19.060
- - I'm not nervous at all because
- 00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.120
- I've never been sure of anything else
- 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.020
- as I am sure of marrying this beautiful woman, right here.
- 00:12:23.020 --> 00:12:27.090
- - Oh, he's just trying to be sweet.
- 00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:30.040
- - Well we are on our way to the courthouse
- 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.100
- to get our marriage license.
- 00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:43.200
- This is a big day, a big step.
- 00:12:44.170 --> 00:12:47.020
- It makes the whole process feel so much more real.
- 00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:52.230
- And I don't know what
- 00:12:54.050 --> 00:12:56.170
- what's in store.
- 00:12:56.170 --> 00:12:58.030
- Did I bring all the things I was supposed to bring?
- 00:12:58.030 --> 00:13:01.290
- No, yes?
- 00:13:01.290 --> 00:13:02.240
- You was supposed to make sure
- 00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:05.080
- - Did you?
- 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:06.140
- - I guess, but yeah, I'm excited.
- 00:13:06.140 --> 00:13:08.130
- - I am thrilled.
- 00:13:08.130 --> 00:13:09.230
- I am overjoyed.
- 00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:12.230
- I'm overwhelmed.
- 00:13:14.140 --> 00:13:15.240
- I feel so many different ways I can keep going,
- 00:13:17.210 --> 00:13:21.050
- but I am excited about today.
- 00:13:21.050 --> 00:13:23.240
- It's one step closer.
- 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.160
- We are officially 12 days away.
- 00:13:26.250 --> 00:13:29.120
- And it couldn't get here quick enough.
- 00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:33.280
- - Ya'll are looking at the marriage license
- 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.060
- for Timothy Bowman Jr, and Brelyn Freeman.
- 00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:42.150
- Ya'll, we are so excited,
- 00:13:42.150 --> 00:13:43.250
- we got a chance to just come into the chapel
- 00:13:43.250 --> 00:13:46.070
- where people will come and get married
- 00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:48.010
- if they want to get married at the courthouse.
- 00:13:48.010 --> 00:13:50.070
- But, we are just overjoyed.
- 00:13:50.070 --> 00:13:51.250
- God has been so good to us, and we're so grateful.
- 00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:54.040
- And He's just so mindful.
- 00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:56.060
- He knew what I wanted in a wife and He gave it to me.
- 00:13:56.060 --> 00:13:59.240
- - Likewise.
- 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.050
- - And we're just excited, man.
- 00:14:01.050 --> 00:14:02.290
- We don't take any of this for granted
- 00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:04.280
- We don't take
- 00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:05.270
- And I believe that God is also
- 00:14:05.270 --> 00:14:08.050
- honoring the sacrifice and commitment
- 00:14:08.050 --> 00:14:10.260
- that we made to Him, and to each other.
- 00:14:10.260 --> 00:14:13.020
- We have not had sex.
- 00:14:13.020 --> 00:14:15.030
- We're not ashamed of it.
- 00:14:15.030 --> 00:14:16.220
- And I believe it's going to
- 00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:18.070
- - or with anyone
- 00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:19.020
- - with anyone
- 00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:19.270
- - we're virgins
- 00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:20.220
- - virgins and
- 00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:21.170
- - to be clear
- 00:14:21.170 --> 00:14:23.000
- - We're just excited, man.
- 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.240
- So we're back with hashtag meet the Bowman's.
- 00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:42.130
- And you need to go on that website
- 00:14:42.130 --> 00:14:44.160
- and find out all of the information that they have.
- 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:47.240
- They have product, everything that will bless your life.
- 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.160
- - [DeeDee] The purity certificate.
- 00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:51.250
- - Put your child on the right path.
- 00:14:51.250 --> 00:14:54.010
- And even if in fact you're still single
- 00:14:54.010 --> 00:14:56.150
- and considering that,
- 00:14:56.150 --> 00:14:58.090
- then that will be a great place to start.
- 00:14:58.090 --> 00:15:00.260
- So, watch this.
- 00:15:00.260 --> 00:15:02.150
- Tim, before we went to our break,
- 00:15:02.150 --> 00:15:05.290
- you were going to share with
- 00:15:05.290 --> 00:15:08.190
- other young men, how they can position themself.
- 00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:13.040
- I know Brelyn just mentioned
- 00:15:13.040 --> 00:15:15.120
- this thing has to go viral in you.
- 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.140
- How would you suggest or recommend
- 00:15:18.140 --> 00:15:22.160
- a young men just keep that kind of focus throughout?
- 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:25.290
- - Well, I think it's two things.
- 00:15:25.290 --> 00:15:27.280
- I think it's very rare for people in this generation--
- 00:15:27.280 --> 00:15:31.270
- - It is.
- 00:15:31.270 --> 00:15:33.000
- - To make that commitment and keep it.
- 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.140
- But it's more rare, I would say for a man to do it.
- 00:15:34.140 --> 00:15:37.070
- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:38.140
- - And there's this big misconception--
- 00:15:38.140 --> 00:15:41.000
- - 'Cause Tim I would have done it
- 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.110
- if DeeDee wouldn't have been pressuring
- 00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:45.180
- me so much. - [DeeDee] I was all on you!
- 00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:47.230
- - Stop it, stop.
- 00:15:47.230 --> 00:15:50.100
- That is not true at all.
- 00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:52.110
- It was just the opposite actually.
- 00:15:52.110 --> 00:15:55.060
- Okay, so talk to me, I apologize.
- 00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:57.230
- - No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 00:15:57.230 --> 00:15:59.080
- But it's this misconception that you come off as weak,
- 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.140
- and you know you wack. - [Mike] Lame.
- 00:16:02.140 --> 00:16:04.070
- - [Tim] Yeah all that stuff.
- 00:16:04.070 --> 00:16:06.040
- - Less than a man.
- 00:16:07.030 --> 00:16:08.020
- - Less than a man.
- 00:16:08.020 --> 00:16:09.170
- - Did you hear all of that?
- 00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:11.250
- Did you hear?
- 00:16:11.250 --> 00:16:12.230
- - No--
- 00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:13.210
- - Or were you as public with it
- 00:16:13.210 --> 00:16:15.150
- or you kept it on the.
- 00:16:15.150 --> 00:16:17.080
- - I really was public, but I don't have a
- 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.250
- self-confidence problem.
- 00:16:20.250 --> 00:16:22.210
- You always tell me that.
- 00:16:24.150 --> 00:16:25.280
- (hissess)
- 00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:27.200
- Just come down just a little bit.
- 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.280
- He calls me four much.
- 00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:30.280
- I'm not two much I'm four much.
- 00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:32.120
- But no, I think it's my motto through this whole thing.
- 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.110
- And I keep saying it.
- 00:16:36.110 --> 00:16:37.260
- Is we feel like we need sex to boost up our swag.
- 00:16:37.260 --> 00:16:41.210
- And I always have been saying,
- 00:16:41.210 --> 00:16:43.260
- that if you need sex for your swag,
- 00:16:43.260 --> 00:16:46.150
- you didn't have much swag in the first place.
- 00:16:46.150 --> 00:16:48.160
- - Come on, come on.
- 00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.210
- - Now I'm just saying that because,
- 00:16:49.210 --> 00:16:51.250
- you think you have this swag.
- 00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:53.190
- And you sweed and you walking around on all these things.
- 00:16:53.190 --> 00:16:57.020
- But if you really care that much about
- 00:16:57.020 --> 00:16:59.110
- what people think about you.
- 00:16:59.110 --> 00:17:01.040
- Like what is that?
- 00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:02.070
- All that stuff is superficial.
- 00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:03.290
- So first, for me, it was finding out who I was.
- 00:17:03.290 --> 00:17:07.170
- - Where was your focus?
- 00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:09.020
- I mean was your focus that you have one individual?
- 00:17:09.020 --> 00:17:12.070
- Did you have your pastor?
- 00:17:12.070 --> 00:17:14.110
- Who guided you?
- 00:17:14.110 --> 00:17:16.170
- Who was the mentor?
- 00:17:16.170 --> 00:17:18.230
- How do you do that?
- 00:17:18.230 --> 00:17:21.040
- I mean, how do you abstain?
- 00:17:21.040 --> 00:17:23.160
- I really want you to--
- 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.100
- - Yeah, was that something your
- 00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:26.080
- parents preached to you or what?
- 00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:28.070
- - It's good.
- 00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:29.140
- Finding something that was more pleasurable
- 00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:32.160
- than the act itself.
- 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.080
- So the whole reason why people have
- 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:36.140
- sex before marriage and ruin that commitment
- 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.190
- is to experience that pleasure.
- 00:17:38.190 --> 00:17:40.030
- - Yeah.
- 00:17:40.030 --> 00:17:41.010
- - So for me, and like I said,
- 00:17:41.010 --> 00:17:43.090
- people have been saying I was 60
- 00:17:43.090 --> 00:17:44.190
- since I was 14 years old.
- 00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:46.120
- But for me, breaking that commitment to God
- 00:17:46.120 --> 00:17:49.020
- was so much more important.
- 00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:50.280
- - See that's what I'm saying.
- 00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:51.260
- So you had something higher
- 00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:54.050
- than that particular pleasure
- 00:17:54.050 --> 00:17:56.280
- that helped you to abstain over that time.
- 00:17:56.280 --> 00:18:00.220
- - And that principle that was put into me
- 00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:03.090
- pertaining to sex has carried
- 00:18:03.090 --> 00:18:05.140
- on in my life to other things.
- 00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:08.070
- - And so what was the deal with you
- 00:18:08.070 --> 00:18:10.020
- with respect to that Bre?
- 00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:11.170
- - Well mine was just being involved,
- 00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:14.000
- or my upcoming, upbringing with you all.
- 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.280
- Knowing what the word was.
- 00:18:16.280 --> 00:18:18.260
- And I always say that parents are the representations
- 00:18:18.260 --> 00:18:21.140
- of Christ in the earth.
- 00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:22.250
- So your word to me was gold.
- 00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:25.100
- It was like, that's what I'm gonna do.
- 00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:27.200
- But as I got older I gained a relationship
- 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.090
- with God for myself.
- 00:18:30.090 --> 00:18:31.260
- And I gained a relationship with the word.
- 00:18:31.260 --> 00:18:33.170
- So I knew this was right and this was what I wanna do.
- 00:18:33.170 --> 00:18:36.090
- So that kept me on track.
- 00:18:36.090 --> 00:18:37.220
- And then having people around me
- 00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:40.070
- who had the same like mind.
- 00:18:40.070 --> 00:18:41.270
- I think Tim's upbringing. - [Mike] That's my motto.
- 00:18:41.270 --> 00:18:43.290
- - Yeah, right, hang with those who have your answer,
- 00:18:43.290 --> 00:18:46.080
- get away from those who have your problem.
- 00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:47.200
- - Come on, preach it.
- 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:48.250
- - And that is huge, because if Tim
- 00:18:48.250 --> 00:18:51.190
- even as a guy like he said.
- 00:18:51.190 --> 00:18:54.200
- Just putting up something that's higher
- 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.260
- than the pleasure of sex.
- 00:18:57.260 --> 00:18:59.270
- Is like, for him that was his way,
- 00:18:59.270 --> 00:19:01.220
- and a lot of people don't have that upbringing
- 00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:04.010
- or people they know who wanna abstain.
- 00:19:04.010 --> 00:19:06.290
- But if they just say, okay, this is what
- 00:19:06.290 --> 00:19:08.270
- God wants for me.
- 00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:10.120
- And then when you honor God's word, He'll honor you.
- 00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:13.010
- And that's when you--
- 00:19:13.010 --> 00:19:14.040
- - We've seen the fruit.
- 00:19:14.040 --> 00:19:15.200
- It's like we could sit here right now.
- 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.010
- Last week was our 10 month anniversary.
- 00:19:19.020 --> 00:19:21.190
- - [Bree and Mike] Three month.
- 00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:22.260
- - Three month, why am I saying 10?
- 00:19:22.260 --> 00:19:24.250
- - I heard three.
- 00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:26.020
- - 10 is on my head for some reason.
- 00:19:26.020 --> 00:19:27.110
- - Yeah, yeah, you were married the 10th day.
- 00:19:27.110 --> 00:19:28.250
- - God has start a word in me.
- 00:19:28.250 --> 00:19:30.090
- We'll reveal it later on.
- 00:19:30.090 --> 00:19:32.060
- He's dealing with Tim, He's dealing with Tim.
- 00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:35.060
- Anyway, it was our three month anniversary
- 00:19:35.060 --> 00:19:37.210
- and we can sit here and say that
- 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:39.120
- we have experienced the fruit
- 00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:42.000
- of the decisions that we have made so.
- 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.030
- - Yeah, I think that's what I love most
- 00:19:44.030 --> 00:19:45.150
- about our story.
- 00:19:45.150 --> 00:19:47.000
- Because you see a lot of people talk.
- 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.160
- I've been abstaining for 50 years,
- 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.000
- which is not a put down or anything bad,
- 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.020
- but God really allowed our story to go viral
- 00:19:53.020 --> 00:19:55.250
- when we had the fruit.
- 00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:57.130
- So it's like, we're not just talking.
- 00:19:57.130 --> 00:19:59.220
- Like, we not just talking, we did this.
- 00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:02.040
- So we have the fruit of it.
- 00:20:02.040 --> 00:20:03.200
- That's what I love about it 'cause we can
- 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.120
- share with people it is possible
- 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:07.010
- and we did do it.
- 00:20:07.010 --> 00:20:08.060
- And this is the fruit of what we did.
- 00:20:08.060 --> 00:20:09.210
- - Okay, backtrack.
- 00:20:09.210 --> 00:20:10.260
- 'Cause we saw a little highlight of it.
- 00:20:10.260 --> 00:20:12.160
- We're at the reception, you call me up,
- 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.030
- just like you saw your sister do it.
- 00:20:15.030 --> 00:20:17.110
- I was used to that, because she did it.
- 00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:19.250
- And now this is my moment to receive the certificate.
- 00:20:19.250 --> 00:20:23.280
- You give me the certificate--
- 00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:25.040
- - But was that required?
- 00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:26.060
- - Yeah, you darn tooting it was.
- 00:20:26.060 --> 00:20:27.270
- No (pastor laughs).
- 00:20:27.270 --> 00:20:30.140
- It was not required.
- 00:20:30.140 --> 00:20:32.010
- - That's what the issue has been.
- 00:20:32.010 --> 00:20:33.170
- - That was one of the issues yeah.
- 00:20:33.170 --> 00:20:34.210
- - You know, this whole time.
- 00:20:34.210 --> 00:20:35.280
- - Yeah, I was a jerk.
- 00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:37.050
- I was just some kind of--
- 00:20:37.050 --> 00:20:38.190
- - You were just everything.
- 00:20:38.190 --> 00:20:40.000
- Creep everything. - [Mike] Everything, so yeah.
- 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.010
- - [Mike] But look at the fruit.
- 00:20:41.010 --> 00:20:42.030
- Get this, so you're now married,
- 00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:47.030
- you're at the reception, I get this certificate.
- 00:20:47.030 --> 00:20:49.170
- You leave, you're on your way to Dubai, your honeymoon spot.
- 00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:52.290
- Or the Maldives.
- 00:20:52.290 --> 00:20:54.210
- The plane lands, you turn on your phone and?
- 00:20:55.230 --> 00:20:59.180
- - Kaboom.
- 00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:01.050
- - Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 00:21:01.050 --> 00:21:03.020
- Like it went crazy.
- 00:21:03.020 --> 00:21:04.260
- Because really I was just doing highlights of the wedding.
- 00:21:04.260 --> 00:21:08.000
- And because I've been sharing my story
- 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.220
- and my commitment to God so long ago
- 00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:12.050
- it wasn't something different for me
- 00:21:12.050 --> 00:21:14.040
- to post about my commitment or what I did.
- 00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:16.250
- So the highlights are just,
- 00:21:16.250 --> 00:21:18.140
- me and Tim dancing.
- 00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:20.000
- And then I say okay, "Hey I presented my father
- 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.120
- "with this purity certificate stating that I was a virgin."
- 00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:25.230
- Got my doctor's signature, everything on that.
- 00:21:25.230 --> 00:21:28.160
- And then that, it just was like crazy.
- 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.240
- So I think in the moment,
- 00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:33.290
- Tim really just said, "Hey look.
- 00:21:33.290 --> 00:21:36.130
- "This could be bad or this could be good."
- 00:21:36.130 --> 00:21:38.220
- Tim is very calm in situations.
- 00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:40.250
- I could be the one that's like (fake screams).
- 00:21:40.250 --> 00:21:42.270
- - Well let's deduce it down to what it is.
- 00:21:42.270 --> 00:21:45.260
- Okay we looking at it, and let's figure it out.
- 00:21:45.260 --> 00:21:48.200
- All this extra.
- 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.050
- Because people had a lot of negative things to say.
- 00:21:50.050 --> 00:21:52.090
- - It started off really negative.
- 00:21:52.090 --> 00:21:54.290
- 'Cause the Shade Room posted it.
- 00:21:54.290 --> 00:21:57.040
- - I remember your calling home and like "Dad."
- 00:21:57.040 --> 00:22:00.090
- - And it was like "The Shade Room posted it!"
- 00:22:00.090 --> 00:22:01.210
- People were saying da da da.
- 00:22:01.210 --> 00:22:03.060
- - I'm not familiar with the Shade Room like that.
- 00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:04.250
- - They throw shade.
- 00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:05.250
- - That's all they do.
- 00:22:05.250 --> 00:22:06.230
- - That's all you need to know.
- 00:22:06.230 --> 00:22:07.210
- - A room of shade.
- 00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:08.210
- - [Bre and Mike] A room of shade.
- 00:22:08.210 --> 00:22:10.080
- - [Mike] And you felt like clapping back.
- 00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:11.290
- I learned that. - [Tim] Yes.
- 00:22:11.290 --> 00:22:13.130
- - But it was great, because he allowed me
- 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.130
- to see it as, "Okay this is an opportunity
- 00:22:18.130 --> 00:22:20.220
- "to share your story.
- 00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:22.040
- "And God is now giving you another platform
- 00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:24.140
- "to share your testimony and encourage others to wait."
- 00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:28.060
- - And that's what we're gonna talk about.
- 00:22:28.060 --> 00:22:29.250
- The platform, the books, the products.
- 00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:33.280
- I mean you're gonna be so amazed
- 00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:37.110
- at what the Lord has done
- 00:22:37.110 --> 00:22:40.030
- through their testimony and story.
- 00:22:40.030 --> 00:22:42.110
- And I am elated to be able to say that's my baby girl.
- 00:22:42.110 --> 00:22:46.240
- Stay tuned, don't go anywhere,
- 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.170
- we'll be right back.
- 00:22:48.170 --> 00:22:50.000
- So, we at the rehearsal dinner,
- 00:22:53.070 --> 00:22:55.000
- we just got done with the rehearsal.
- 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.100
- It's still feeling surreal.
- 00:22:58.100 --> 00:23:00.190
- I'm so excited.
- 00:23:00.190 --> 00:23:01.260
- I can't even explain the feeling that I have.
- 00:23:01.260 --> 00:23:05.100
- It's like I waited my entire life
- 00:23:05.100 --> 00:23:06.280
- to find the woman of my dreams.
- 00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:08.200
- And I found her and she's amazing.
- 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.260
- She came here tonight looking so good.
- 00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:14.000
- And, I'm just overwhelmed, man.
- 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.180
- As I said, you know, during the times of all this talking,
- 00:23:18.040 --> 00:23:22.080
- it's like really hitting me, man.
- 00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:24.190
- I'm getting ready to go in a covenant with someone
- 00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:27.280
- I'm going to spend the rest of my life with.
- 00:23:27.280 --> 00:23:30.220
- - I've been to this moment, I think a thousand,
- 00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:33.150
- if not more, times in my head.
- 00:23:33.150 --> 00:23:35.220
- And the way there's a will.
- 00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:37.290
- so tomorrow I will be so excited to actually see
- 00:23:37.290 --> 00:23:41.030
- everything that we have planned.
- 00:23:41.030 --> 00:23:43.250
- Everything come to where it's supposed to be and we're just
- 00:23:43.250 --> 00:23:47.260
- so, so, so excited,
- 00:23:47.260 --> 00:23:49.130
- about everything that's happening tomorrow
- 00:23:51.100 --> 00:23:54.100
- and I'm not going to get emotional,
- 00:23:54.100 --> 00:23:56.230
- cause I feel like I can cry right now.
- 00:23:56.230 --> 00:23:58.230
- But I'm not going to cry.
- 00:23:58.230 --> 00:24:00.200
- Cause I'm practicing,
- 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.050
- I'm practicing that I'm not going to cry tomorrow.
- 00:24:02.050 --> 00:24:06.030
- So, if I can do it now,
- 00:24:06.030 --> 00:24:07.130
- I won't do it tomorrow.
- 00:24:07.130 --> 00:24:08.250
- - We got friends and family here, good food
- 00:24:08.250 --> 00:24:12.100
- - All this, I'm excited Tim is a great, great guy
- 00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:16.260
- and I think he's going to sing tomorrow
- 00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:18.250
- I think he's trying to surprise me,
- 00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:20.020
- but I know he gonna sing.
- 00:24:20.020 --> 00:24:21.290
- You can't come to a wedding and marry an artist
- 00:24:21.290 --> 00:24:24.280
- and he doesn't sing,
- 00:24:24.280 --> 00:24:27.040
- So, just pray that I make it through the song that he sings.
- 00:24:27.040 --> 00:24:30.240
- If you see me and I'm like,
- 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.020
- just pray for me, just pray.
- 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.190
- (laughs)
- 00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:38.130
- But, it's okay, we're gonna be good.
- 00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:40.100
- We're having a good time.
- 00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:41.110
- I'll see you later, or tomorrow.
- 00:24:41.110 --> 00:24:41.130
- Well, we're out of time for right now.
- 00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:46.060

- She gone.
- 00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:13.210
- - The girls, no, they're not gone.
- 00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:15.190
- - I know what you got.
- 00:25:15.190 --> 00:25:16.170
- Getting ready to leave so.
- 00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:18.190
- - I made a commitment that I would keep myself to myself
- 00:25:20.260 --> 00:25:23.070
- up until I was married.
- 00:25:23.070 --> 00:25:24.020
- And today is 10/10/15.
- 00:25:24.020 --> 00:25:26.180
- And I'm signing my covenant letter back to my dad.
- 00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:30.230
- As far as I can see,
- 00:25:30.230 --> 00:25:34.000
- Brelyn, you know that you will always be
- 00:25:35.040 --> 00:25:38.150
- be the one, na, na, na, na, na, na.
- 00:25:40.030 --> 00:25:43.030
- You'll always be number one for me.
- 00:25:46.150 --> 00:25:49.120
- - Here's another tip that you can consider
- 00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:56.060
- to making your marriage easy.
- 00:25:56.060 --> 00:25:58.150
- Marriage is very easy.
- 00:25:58.150 --> 00:26:00.140
- One of the things you can literally
- 00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:02.130
- stop saying is that it's hard.
- 00:26:02.130 --> 00:26:04.230
- - It's hard.
- 00:26:04.230 --> 00:26:06.000
- - You have what you say and there's a law
- 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.250
- that you are putting into motion
- 00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:09.260
- every time you make that confession.
- 00:26:09.260 --> 00:26:13.050
- "Marriage is so hard. Marriage is so hard.
- 00:26:13.050 --> 00:26:15.170
- "We can't talk. We can't get along."
- 00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:17.260
- Listen to your words.
- 00:26:17.260 --> 00:26:19.150
- If you'll do that, listen to your words,
- 00:26:19.150 --> 00:26:22.050
- and begin to monitor them and say the right things
- 00:26:22.050 --> 00:26:25.240
- and respond the right way, you will always have
- 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:30.000
- that direction, everything going in that direction
- 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.210
- when you put your words in this proper place.
- 00:26:33.210 --> 00:26:36.040
- - Because they really don't want to say
- 00:26:36.040 --> 00:26:37.210
- that it's hard or they can't communicate.
- 00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:40.040
- They really want to say, "I want to be understood
- 00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:43.060
- "and I'm not being understood."
- 00:26:43.060 --> 00:26:44.230
- We have to say the right words to get the right answers.
- 00:26:44.230 --> 00:26:47.190
- - That is a fantastic tip for you
- 00:26:47.190 --> 00:26:51.000
- to start implementing today.
- 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.010
- - Hey, why don't you come and hang out

- I mean, she is just off the hook.
- 00:27:07.060 --> 00:27:09.190
