The shame of not blog yesterday over good one, but look the amended section on with our Boot Camp, the written in a beaten path of people driving all that about same fashion really hit home for me and I work well for me, glad I went to boot camp and he got like you think about who you.

You have a Socratic God was tabulated on a heart to do that. I think we all walked away with with things from that and continue to walk away with things from that just how much the enemy uses shame to try to keep this in control. You get a boot camp coming up here pretty soon.

Don't yeah Ohio we have a boot camp and actually number eight really 11 Ohio Boot Camp.com and that we also have open registration for our Boot Camp in October, which is October 27 to the 30th listening up the Ohio area. You can go to one of those camps were actually some of us are coming up to that September camp to be hanging out with you GOT you said excited about that about thinking. We got we got great work trip with that. Yeah you seen all this would likely resemble well-run and can you tell us will even talk about for how many weeks now it's been a while. I count that I lost fingers and toes are passed set want to tell us what were talking about as far as the overall topic in the flavor of today as if we know or talk about so we started off calling this the tools of the enemy and then we added in a good BDO toolbox of the enemy. Now we even got Satan's pallet so we got a lot of things recall this, but basically work talk about things that Satan uses against us. And then of course God will end up turning to good but we started off with unforgiveness then agreements which are about bows and bitter roots, dizziness, condemnation, neglect marginalization that leads to your orphan spirit talked about shame last week. As Bob mentioned in this week that it pride and ego pride in year.

That's right, we have plenty of that around here. We know that's a pillar series because every time we think were done we find at least one or two more together somewhere in there so we are talking about pride and ego and how the enemy uses that to try to control us to also trip us up to really do damage in our life. Take the pie putting your face and rub it in exactly yeah yeah just like smeared all over yeah exactly. Exactly Bob you get the first clip for the show tonight. If you go ahead and set that up and tell us about it from the movie Jerry Maguire of popular high-powered agent with the rank that they have moral epiphany that he that is not that are not treating their client respectable enough and so he had the mission statement new philosophy right down and shared it with eight the new black that it basically and you get tired for sharing that selling the clip we meet up with Gary, you got fired, leaving it optically and often people to come with them on his big adventure to share his mission and treat people like the way you want to treat them so we can start their just let me just say as I eased out of the office. I helped build.

I'm sorry except that there is such a thing as manners when treating people the space at manners. These fish have numbers.

In fact the coming with me. I'm starting a new company and the fish will come with me. Call me sentimental. This their coming with me. Okay anybody else wants to come with me. This moment will be the moment something real and fun and inspiring.

In this god forsaken days and we will do it to get those coming with was coming with me. Besides clipper here. This is embarrassing as a quick trip from pride the home as above that was your good but was about the clip that the spoke to you wanted. You're so excited about going on a mission to treat his client more humanely and in areas great idea. Anything for Brenna to come with them now and then. Not knowing what he realizes that he I'm in the wrong ladder wrong lateral right and and there at the end he is pride aptly demolished by standing right in front of everyone and no one wants to, court got at the end movie after that big long thing but but that is how I felt. Recently, going through going through this message of Bilotta heart message and I will last you with my first camping realizing that what I'm caught on the wrong ladder at work love my job and I feel like I'm going wrong way on the wrong direction that my job is becoming more about numbers of people and so well.

I only like long and take a job a different job and after month and month of applying for different job.

Nothing coming available and then just last week, two weeks ago. Other let job a lateral move of the flight back to Greece and pay came open and well I don't want to do this but I feel like my only way to get out of there might moment my clear clarity like I can do this I can take a step back of Morgan talk about becoming King book take the lowest seated at the table and then work on your character instead of your career and well I apply for the job. I got the job while you might accept take take out your salary well copied my privately that David take a pay cut.

You worked all the time to to move up the ladder. You're getting paid well how how how great it would be to take a pay cut. At this point your career and cut make the short story.

On Friday I get back on. We can match your salary though I would go great at school so I'm going to jog a couple weeks and and desolate tough paycheck and Eric take Eitan, but I'm not very good to know that I had to get that whole monumental process of thinking that they could step down. I don't really need the Bob you had me at hello back to Jerry Maguire said thank you for sharing that question for the group here what's what's the difference between being proud and having it in you being proud and some of something and having pride is that there are two distinct different things. In some ways I for one can lead to the other. Does anyone have any thoughts on the I guess it go for what's the intentionality of the action are the thought or the deed that you're doing there were is it intended to bring the spotlight and everything on me and highlight how great I am Mark. Look how low I am something about me, I would say that is pride proud is like of others. I am proud of my kids and proud that somebody else that's on proud that Bob ill-founded. Another place where he can go work in Eakin basically work on himself more and try to not worry about the numbers that's about be more proud. I think we can be proud of the work that we do or have done as long as we realize that we were able to do it because of what God gave us one test of our self, but I think if were going to be setting the right kind of example we will always strive to do the best that we very very best we can, but give God the credit report.

Jim, I don't think that I think that's on a continuum like it's an either or a fake way and I can be proud of my children and then start thinking and I raised him yet to be good kids, while actually went into the storm out of the house at 18. Which is it raising them. But I let them know that that's what they need to do all of that and there wonderful kids, but ultimately that's God's doing, not mine, and that kinda takes the profit off of it. Hate the word I don't like doing it because in burdened with that said coming. If you think about Satan. In that first you know rebellion against God and the one to be worshiped that and that's really what we're doing as we want to be worshiped for whatever we do it really the pride to me is this American life work independent of God is really the definition of it to me is if me and God are partnering in things and he's blessing and I'm I'm partnering and doing my part and he's doing his part, then there's no pride in that. Because I didn't do it all is you can't know that I've been thinking about you and am proud of what we do with the boot camp. 15.

Today we know it's God's doing around all the heavy lifting and getting things done were just there maintenance of the different screen doing it on your own or are walking with him masking journey.org to register for the upcoming boot camp November 17-20. Register now for me describing boot camp when I heard the stories from the stage and the other man had and then my download from God on where my life is and how I have wounds and I have his story know how I heard from us communicate with us yesterday@massgoingjourney.org.

One of my favorite things about boot camp. The favorite thing about campus every time I go counter not, and is anyone that has encounter God knows, generally speaking, it's nothing we expect real counter with God out of me when I needed. I knew what I wanted masculine.org with some actors and children. Good thing we did Beverly have Rob in the front yeah that was think of what can we do that with the songs on pride and stuff and I was like proud Mary that would been great, but it didn't make any sense, but when you think about. I did it my way. You know well, that's a love song, I went in and it really shows that you know the independence we have and that can be good, but it also we talk a lot about independence recently over Fourth of July but you it's really an independent spirit. It's almost in orphans.

Hate to go back there but it's it's based in pride that I did it my way and and you know I was able to make it work that way is a pretty arrogant or you listen to the word as I have. It's like I don't care what you say I did it my way. I can spin out you know that is life in you know might work and it's the deathly deafening that Vinny would've been proud that would demand that they love that song and I made it his way share a bed anyway brow. It speaks to that idea of Vinny was very proud to be a New Yorker like and he stood on his relative shoulders to some extent, and felt like God and provided that form. I didn't have a sense that in Vinny's case of certain aspects of that were to get back to what you had mentioned earlier, pride versus proud and so Vinny was proud to be an American. I mean when somebody didn't stand in the Pledge of Allegiance. You did not want to be around anywhere. I mean that what you know he was a veteran and and certainly served this country well and so I know it's interesting lying there and I really think where is it that your heart is finding and that is is it something that a merit of mine or merit that was bestowed through God for me and he definitely felt like his family had provided that for him chance to be a New Yorker chance to be an American and you have some drinks and a lump sum thanks not for me because he knew him personally as a boy, or whether story and Carly Simon did sing her song which was Arthur you will about Frank Sinatra preacher McKibben so will get to actually my global gunplay microbrew Quicken. This is from the movie the lion King. This is when Simba the baby lie in the cub. Thank you and the baby line was cut her life. So the cub yet because of has learned he's going to become king and so he goes until one of his family members as uncle scar who is Satan character in this particular movie. And I want you to see how you have this very young person that's very innocent. That's just kind of battling with this pride proud came stepping across the line a little bit and the enemy latches onto that and his uncle scar and just digs in and will come back and we'll talk about what I despise guessing games rock G gas will forgive me for not leaping for joy… Q. now a monkey's uncle. You have no idea. So, your father showed you the whole kingdom deity. He didn't show you want to be on that rise of the molten right to dangerous end of the bravest lives go that is modest, but I'm only looking out for the well-being of my favorite nephew all the more reason for me to be protective. An elephant graveyard is no place for the young prince's knives had too much. Well, I suppose you find out sooner or later you will be sent out to have a promise we will never visit problem is a good lad you run along now and have fun and remember it's secret is sometimes cartoons just have a way of just getting to the point so much better than other clips enough for me. That was one you see the enemy just twisting and turning in and driving that pride thing home. You know the AEE placing PE questions what was said. It's very much a very Satan in the Garden of Eden kinda character that scar is in the even say did your dad say this, but he basically implied it right and then well that's for the brave lions implying that he's not a brave eye knowing that that's going to get him to rise up and you know is making a beeline to your he's easily the nares going to get. Now they're going to go to the the elephant graveyard which is where the hyenas are descending into danger and and I do see the enemy's hands, and that I sit in my hands in my life when I when I walked out lying of you. It's okay to be proud when start slipping into pride. You can be really careful and it's a quick slope. Sometimes they have to say. Okay hold on.

You know if I am proud of my kids either a lot of people involved in my kids his life to get in there, not just me as a parent you have people in this room are involved in her life. Plus a whole host of other people and now have credit getting there. Plus you the kids himself have credit getting there rubbing want to go ahead and get to your clippers anything you like, add I love that.

And then that sound anything just here when scar says almost like your father really say that you know and you just hear me now Satan spam on the whole thing of drawn even for the very same exact sin right by little different angle that I Dobson teaching me on the idea private actually in self-pity, is another Barb in that hook and so pride says I'm all that you know bow before me wise. Self-pity says I feel so sorry for me. You don't seem to feel sorry enough for me and so I got another cartoon it's Eeyore, I think most of us can relate. And if you've ever worked with the ER and many of us have worked with ER you can see that the focus is still completely on trying to get attention of some kind, and the attention is not for the purpose of glorifying God.

Obviously, and so will your love for me are here. I wish I could have some don't want to ruin everyone's good time to party for you without it dunking parties motion to be like me.

Rule number one and think I've had enough fun for one day go. The challenge that clearly is pretty easy to see in somebody else but Gottesman pointed out in me like you know I felt pretty sorry for myself about certain things that were happening at work that I thought should happen, and I I can hear myself say my latest you know nobody listens to me in items like Rodney Dangerfield and I just don't get no respect and and and and I feel myself saying these things not realizing like oh my gosh it's it's no different than scar segment gone. They just don't listen to you. Do they rob it is just like it's just your ear. You always got the same hook is just coming from a completely different angle and into some that they Gottesman strongly recently that you know it sounds so innocent but oh my goodness it's it's it's it's the hooks in me like Barb and all in and spit my baby out is not easy.

So there like Vegas.

Yeah, if I have to hear the obesity I it's really kind of funny is Robert. I will walk it down.

I had no clue what his clip was very good doing my homework before the show and basically asking now is self-deprecating humor, bright, and he had the right answer because it already got all the homework that's been something I've had to deal with and it does come down to being Eeyore look at me pathetic not to believe it or not as bad as I used to be, but it's still a matter of trying to bring attention on herself and that's really what pride constitutes about me. It's not about you it's not about God all about me. That's allows you to say with, and we were talking to this Lord knows I've had so many more moments of my life and still do, but I think that is it. We it's it's another way of taking God out of the equation, you can have. I did it all by myself. I did nothing. God didn't come and rescue me even help me. You know he's not there and that's also what will put people in despair. You know it's like oh you don't need God's ego often do everything without him or only you doing this. God didn't come in for you and rescue you and therefore you're on your own work in spirit.

You know pride, probably driving that there is hope for us.

There is as if you read the Psalms, David was both as a your wellness time today have the same solid lady back to you on this whole topic you think the enemy would know pride as well as anybody right right as you talked about you in the original sin and seem to little bit more about that mean when Satan fell. It was he wanted to be worshiped and get into it got there. The Angels fell with them and that whole idea of of really taking the focus off of God and wanting to be the center of attention. It's it's it's it's NSA came through the fall and that's where a lot of our lives in the and whenever I think one of the things I've learned most from the masculine journey. It's what Bob mentioned Morgan said about taking the lowest seat at the time of have more victory my life by doing that might humble myself and not trying to make things happen in pride of the average essay and that the lowest seat journey.org your version to register for the upcoming boot camp November 17-20 07 entrenchment coming up September 30 and October 1 in Reidsville, North Carolina at our website to register for that.
