[00:23] Hello. Love you. You guys look so

[00:26] beautiful. Young Women's is always my

[00:28] favorite. It's very special in my heart.

[00:31] First, I have to do a shout out to my

[00:32] daughter because she's watching. Baby

[00:34] Buff Buff is here. He's safe. She gave

[00:38] it to She always gives me something

[00:39] before a speech. Last time it was a

[00:42] flower. It's always a thing. Baby Buff

[00:44] Buff this time is in the house, so I'll

[00:46] just place him right here to just guard.

[00:49] I think he's a bobcat, so we'll just go

[00:52] with it. But 10 years, you guys,

[00:57] that's unbelievable. I'm so proud of my

[01:00] husband. I mean, I'm obsessed with my

[01:02] husband. I love him deeply. But he has

[01:04] an amazing team. He does. And it it

[01:07] takes a village. And everyone that's

[01:09] backstage, everyone that you've met in

[01:11] registration, everyone that you meet in

[01:14] the exhibit halls, it's it's a team.

[01:17] It's a family. But thank you guys for

[01:20] still showing up every 10 years. And

[01:22] it's been an interesting 10 years. Think

[01:24] about how much has happened in 10 years.

[01:26] You have different presidents. You have

[01:28] different culture war issues going on.

[01:31] People used to know who a woman was or

[01:33] what a woman was and now you don't. Like

[01:35] it's really it's like a you a wave that

[01:37] we're going through. But it's

[01:38] interesting because the enemy is having

[01:40] a total heyday with how everything is

[01:42] going right now. And the it's so all

[01:46] that to say, thank you guys for being

[01:47] here. Cheers to 10 more years after this

[01:51] and 10 more years even further than

[01:53] that. Um, but again, the Lord is

[01:56] definitely not caught off guard in

[01:59] what's happening in this world right now

[02:02] and in our nation. And neither should we

[02:05] be. We should we should not. And being a

[02:08] mom in this time and during this 2025

[02:13] era, if you will, puts a lot into

[02:15] perspective because when I look at my

[02:18] kids, especially my daughter, because

[02:21] she's older now, you you realize that

[02:26] you're raising these children that are

[02:28] meant to be in this time in this time

[02:32] period. So many people have said before

[02:34] and I've mentioned this before

[02:35] previously that you know some people are

[02:38] like oh well years past I would have

[02:40] loved to have lived in XYZ generation.

[02:43] I'm so grateful we're in this

[02:45] generation. I'm so grateful we're in

[02:47] this day and age cuz we get to fight

[02:51] metaphorically but we get to fight in

[02:53] the spiritual battle and we get to see

[02:56] things happening that are just in ultra

[02:59] speed. And again, being a mom seeing

[03:03] this, I love being able to tell my

[03:05] daughter that you are made, fashioned,

[03:07] and appointed for this time. You are not

[03:11] in the wrong time, the wrong place.

[03:13] You're exactly where you have to be. And

[03:15] the spiritual battle is,

[03:19] I know you guys feel it. It is so deep

[03:21] in the soul. You can just you can walk

[03:25] into a room and feel the enemy.

[03:29] It's it's a wild time right now. And the

[03:34] battleground is for your heart. It's for

[03:36] your home. It's for your future. And the

[03:39] enemy is is very cunning. But his

[03:42] mission is very simple. He wants to

[03:44] steal your joy. He wants to kill your

[03:47] peace. And he wants to destroy your

[03:49] legacy. But God gives you very strategic

[03:52] weapons. He gives you prayer. He gives

[03:54] you scripture. He gives you obedience.

[03:57] He gives you submission and holiness.

[04:00] But our life is a battlefield. And our

[04:02] faith even more so. And the enemy's main

[04:06] goal

[04:07] is to disconnect you. It's to isolate

[04:11] you from your relationship with the Lord

[04:14] and put something in the middle of it.

[04:16] Whether that's you thinking that you're

[04:18] not good enough, whether that's any type

[04:21] of disconnection you could even think

[04:24] of, but all of us need to remember not

[04:27] to mistake God's silence for his absence

[04:32] and really know that yes, we are all

[04:36] going through a unique battle right now.

[04:39] We are all in our own battlefield,

[04:42] separate but also together. And I think

[04:46] the call for all of us right now is very

[04:49] universal.

[04:50] And I've really prayed on this and I and

[04:52] I see it in Technicolor with how

[04:55] different waves of things that are

[04:58] happening in culture and in society, but

[05:00] then also seeing it through the the eyes

[05:03] of my child is we our call is for a

[05:07] revival of biblical womanhood.

[05:10] And that is something that is so

[05:12] important right now. And as I teach my

[05:14] daughter,

[05:17] it's again, I know it's so simple, but

[05:20] when you really go down a rabbit hole

[05:22] with it, as a woman raising a daughter,

[05:26] raising another young raising a woman,

[05:28] raising a young woman, raising a woman

[05:30] in society,

[05:32] you you are you're looking at womanhood

[05:35] from the standpoint of how do I explain

[05:37] to a two-year-old what womanhood is? I

[05:41] can have her obviously see how my

[05:43] actions are, but I'm not gonna give her

[05:46] a phone and say, "Look at this

[05:47] influencer who's a homemaker that's

[05:50] making sourdough bread and is having

[05:52] like, you know, selling shampoo and all

[05:55] these things." Like, that's I can't show

[05:56] that to her because she doesn't get

[05:58] that. She watches Bob Ross and Charlie.

[06:00] Those are like her two things. So, it's

[06:02] like, but

[06:05] for me, it was like, okay, who are the

[06:08] people that I can have her kind of look

[06:10] to as a blueprint? And for me, again,

[06:13] it's biblical womanhood. It's

[06:17] realizing like I want to raise my

[06:19] daughter

[06:21] to be the type of woman

[06:24] that is literally a a little warrior. I

[06:28] don't want to raise a weak a weak woman.

[06:30] I want to raise a little warrior who

[06:33] wears modesty like armor, carries truth

[06:37] like a torch and conviction like a

[06:40] crown. Because the devil fears a woman

[06:43] who is anchored in Christ. He cannot buy

[06:46] her. He cannot sway her. He cannot

[06:48] distract her. That's what I want my

[06:51] daughter to be like. That's what I want.

[06:55] And so as I'm to me, and I'll get into

[07:00] this further, the nursery and my

[07:02] daughter's room, my son's room, that's

[07:04] like a sanctuary to me. Being able to

[07:07] pray over them, pray with them, hear my

[07:09] daughter sing Jesus loves me on repeat,

[07:11] like that is that's everything to me.

[07:15] And I want her to be able to see

[07:19] and hear the stories of women who were

[07:22] anchored by the strength of the Lord.

[07:25] And I know that, you know, previous

[07:29] speaker was talking about Esther and and

[07:31] I'm going to I'm going to follow suit in

[07:33] that because it's important. I I feel

[07:36] like we need to look at these women as a

[07:38] blueprint. So for who? Raise your hand

[07:42] if you're a student in college or in

[07:44] high school. Okay, good. Great. It's

[07:48] important because I feel that for women

[07:51] that are called to courage in a culture

[07:53] of fear,

[07:55] that's when Esther enters the chat for

[07:57] that one. Because Esther's battle was

[08:00] not fought with swords. It was silent

[08:04] obedience.

[08:06] She stepped into the royal halls, not by

[08:09] accident, but by divine appointment.

[08:12] And she stood between death and

[08:14] deliverance in a palace that was not

[08:16] built for her voice.

[08:19] But she spoke anyway.

[08:21] You don't need to be masculine to be

[08:23] strong, and you don't need to be loud to

[08:26] be heard.

[08:29] a woman under authority.

[08:32] When you are a woman under authority,

[08:34] you get to see how God uses your life in

[08:38] such a powerful, beautiful way. And if

[08:42] you feel like in college you're in your

[08:44] Esther era from the standpoint of you

[08:47] feel like you can't say the things you

[08:49] want to say,

[08:51] remember that your degree fades.

[08:54] It's a piece of paper. Your knowledge of

[08:56] everything that you gained is always

[08:59] going to be with you. But your degree

[09:00] fades, but your godliness does not.

[09:04] The opinions of your professors, they

[09:06] won't outlive you.

[09:09] They're going to come and go, but your

[09:11] faithfulness

[09:13] that will stay with you. If you stand

[09:16] for Christ, do it boldly even when

[09:18] you're alone. And let your conduct

[09:21] preach

[09:23] even when you're silenced. and be found

[09:26] faithful. Because although culture is

[09:28] saying you're not doing enough, culture

[09:31] is saying you need to own a business by

[09:33] the time you're 23. You need to go viral

[09:36] for this on Instagram. You're falling

[09:38] behind. Whenever you feel that, I want

[09:41] you to say out loud, I don't care if

[09:43] you're looking at a mirror. I don't care

[09:44] if you're writing it down. I want you to

[09:46] say, "I am not behind. I am becoming."

[09:49] Do not feel like you're running out of

[09:51] time. The enemy loves to make you feel

[09:53] like you're running out of time, but you

[09:54] can always have a career. It is not

[09:57] going anywhere. LLC's will always be

[10:01] able to be created. There is a

[10:03] government institution for that. Like,

[10:06] it's not going away. You will always be

[10:07] able to create your own company. But

[10:09] children, family, your husband,

[10:12] marriages, that is not a renewable

[10:15] resource.

[10:17] That is not Don't delay the eternal for

[10:21] temporary and do not sacrifice the

[10:24] sacred for the secular. It is not worth

[10:26] it.

[10:33] And I know some of you especially the

[10:35] students are not even thinking about

[10:38] husband, kid, life like that. I get it.

[10:42] Trust me. I was wired at a very young

[10:45] age because I was raised by a single

[10:48] mom. Never let never let yourself be in

[10:51] a position where you can't support

[10:52] yourself and don't rely on a man. Those

[10:55] that was ingrained in me. So before I

[10:58] met Charlie, I was not on the path of I

[11:02] want to have six kids and a white picket

[11:05] house fence. That was not my mindset.

[11:08] But this is how amazing God is. When you

[11:10] meet the right man,

[11:13] everything shifts. Everything changes.

[11:16] When I met Charlie,

[11:19] that was it. I could care less about the

[11:21] career. It was

[11:24] it was a beautiful moment. And I that's

[11:27] why I just want to plant the seed of

[11:29] encouragement because motherhood is it's

[11:31] not a pause. A lot of people think it's

[11:33] a pause in your life. It's a launch pad.

[11:36] It's not something where you feel like,

[11:38] you know, you wasted your degree. You're

[11:41] not wasting a degree when you're raising

[11:43] your children with wisdom, love, and

[11:45] truth. That's that's not wasting a

[11:48] degree at all.

[11:55] And being a mother is incredible. And I

[11:57] know you guys, some of you aren't there

[11:59] yet, but it's amazing. It is so special

[12:02] to be able to see the world through your

[12:05] baby's eyes all over again and to

[12:08] relearn things that you kind of forgot

[12:10] and just be able to see that

[12:13] again the nursery is sacred.

[12:16] Mothers are culture shapers. They're

[12:18] legacy builders and no government can

[12:21] outgo a righteous mother and no platform

[12:26] can match the prayers

[12:28] of a righteous mother. you just it'll

[12:32] never match up.

[12:34] And I never want you to think that when

[12:38] you have a family

[12:40] that that makes you in a position where

[12:44] you you can't be what God has called you

[12:47] to be. It's the exact opposite. When you

[12:50] become a mother, that is what God has

[12:52] called you to be.

[12:55] Don't

[12:57] I know a lot of you do want a career and

[12:59] I respect that because I do still have

[13:00] my own, you know, my my Bible ministry,

[13:04] but hold it into perspective. I don't

[13:06] want you to be chasing a paycheck and a

[13:10] title and a corner office and sacrifice

[13:14] such a short window that you have in in

[13:19] this time period. So just hold that in

[13:21] your heart because if you build your

[13:23] family, you raise your children, then

[13:25] you can create your platform with a

[13:30] tender heart and not in the furnace of

[13:33] exhaustion.

[13:35] It's it's a special perspective.

[13:38] And so Esther's position, if you're in

[13:41] the boardroom, if you're in the schools

[13:43] or social sphere and you have it on your

[13:45] heart, if I speak, will I lose

[13:48] everything? Esther reminds you that God

[13:50] has placed you in those holes for a

[13:53] reason and your voice was meant to echo

[13:56] in those holes. So speak

[14:00] truth because Esther did not fall. God

[14:03] was within her. And for the women that

[14:06] are called to lead during a time of

[14:08] devastation, you have Deborah to look

[14:11] towards for that blueprint. Deborah led

[14:14] when men around her wavered. She judged.

[14:17] She prophesied. She marched when others

[14:20] stalled. And her battle was to lead

[14:23] boldly in a generation that had

[14:24] forgotten how.

[14:26] This is relative to women who carry the

[14:29] burdens in her home, in her ministry, in

[14:31] her workplace when others won't step up,

[14:34] bearing the responsibilities that others

[14:36] have abandoned. But like Deborah, your

[14:39] strength does not come from yourself.

[14:41] Your strength comes from God who goes

[14:43] before you. So remember that because

[14:45] Deborah did not fall. God was within

[14:48] her.

[14:50] For women who are starting over

[14:53] in unknown fields of life,

[14:56] Ruth is your girl.

[14:59] Read read the book of Ruth. Ruth buried

[15:02] her past and followed Naomi into foreign

[15:04] soil. She had no husband. She had no

[15:06] title. She had no plan.

[15:09] and her battle was the ache of

[15:11] rebuilding a life with no guarantee.

[15:15] She chose loyalty

[15:17] over comfort.

[15:20] And you might be a woman who stands in

[15:21] that same field. You might be widowed.

[15:24] You might be divorced, betrayed, or

[15:26] starting a whole new life in a world

[15:28] that is very unfamiliar. But Ruth's life

[15:31] whispers, "God

[15:34] writes redemption stories out of broken

[15:36] soil."

[15:38] And I want to speak to this for a second

[15:40] because I know that after a breakup or

[15:43] even to the single women in this room,

[15:46] singleness is not a disease.

[15:50] It's a stewardship. It's not a disease.

[15:53] And I know I've heard horror stories

[15:54] because my friends have told me horror

[15:56] stories of dating right now and how it's

[15:58] a total circus.

[16:00] Um, but hear me when I say this. You

[16:03] were never meant to audition for your

[16:06] own worth.

[16:09] Never.

[16:13] You are not a backup plan.

[16:16] You are not a placeholder. And you are

[16:19] not a maybe. You are definitely not

[16:22] someone's emotional experiment. If he

[16:26] won't pray with you, if he won't lead

[16:29] you, if he won't honor your purity or

[16:32] envision a future of serving God

[16:34] together, let him go.

[16:37] Let him go.

[16:42] You are not losing a man. You are

[16:45] shedding a distraction.

[16:47] Let him go.

[16:50] So if you are in this Ruth season, don't

[16:53] waste it. Don't despise it. Use it to

[16:57] strengthen your roots, to know the Lord

[17:00] more deeply, and to pray and prepare for

[17:02] the upcoming season. Because a godly man

[17:05] is not looking for a woman who fits into

[17:07] culture. He's looking for a woman who

[17:09] will kneel before Christ. That is what a

[17:11] godly man is looking for.

[17:15] And marriage is a beautiful calling. But

[17:20] but

[17:22] so is becoming a whole and healed woman

[17:25] who doesn't need a man to complete her

[17:27] because she's already completed

[17:29] by Christ in Christ. Remember that.

[17:34] before you try to seek someone out to

[17:35] complete you.

[17:38] Wait until you are already complete in

[17:40] Christ.

[17:42] Ruth did not fall. God was within her.

[17:47] For the women who are wrestling with the

[17:49] waiting and the surrender season, that's

[17:53] Hannah.

[17:55] Hannah's pain was private.

[17:57] Her womb was closed, but her heart was

[17:59] open.

[18:01] And her battle was the quiet ache of

[18:03] unanswered prayer and misunderstood

[18:05] grief. And for those of you in this

[18:07] battlefield, Hannah echoes your prayers.

[18:11] If you're praying for healing, you're

[18:12] praying for children, purpose,

[18:15] and sometimes the silence feels louder

[18:17] than the answer. But like Hannah, you

[18:20] learn

[18:22] God treasures the tears of the

[18:23] surrendered.

[18:26] And so I just want to say an

[18:28] encouragement to the women who are

[18:30] dealing with any form of infertility or

[18:33] the waiting season for having a family.

[18:37] The matriarchs, they also dealt with

[18:39] infertility.

[18:41] You have Sarah who laughed in unbelief

[18:44] and God still gave her Isaac. You have

[18:47] Rachel who wept with bitter longing and

[18:49] God gave her Joseph. You have Hannah who

[18:51] poured out her her heart and her soul

[18:53] and God didn't forgive her. And you have

[18:55] Elizabeth who conceived in her old age.

[18:57] God opens wombs. Remember that

[19:01] he opens wombs. So just wait for him.

[19:05] Keep praying. Don't despise the waiting.

[19:08] And don't mistake again the silence for

[19:10] absence because God is near even now.

[19:14] And he will see all of your unseen acts

[19:18] of obedience. and he'll weave it all

[19:20] together for something so special and so

[19:23] great, something greater than you could

[19:25] ever imagine.

[19:27] And so what God builds in the dark, he

[19:29] always unveils in glory. And he he does

[19:33] it at his time, not yours, which is

[19:36] tough. That's not always fun. Does it on

[19:39] his time, but Hannah did not fall. God

[19:42] was within her. And then we have Mary,

[19:46] the mother of Jesus.

[19:48] For the women called to carry what

[19:50] others don't understand,

[19:53] that's Mary.

[19:55] Mary bore the greatest assignment in

[19:57] human history and the greatest scrutiny.

[20:00] Her battle was not only spiritual, it

[20:02] was social. Vulnerable and young, she

[20:05] said yes. Anyways, she accepted the

[20:07] weighty task of the motherhood of to our

[20:10] savior. And Mary's obedience speaks

[20:12] volumes because you might be dealing

[20:14] with an in invisible calling to that no

[20:17] one no one gets, no one understands. The

[20:20] motherhood that no one values, the

[20:22] purity that no one respects, and the

[20:24] obedience that costs you popularity.

[20:27] But Mary reminds you, you don't need the

[20:29] world's approval when you have heaven's

[20:31] assignment.

[20:34] Mary, the mother of Jesus, did not fall.

[20:37] God was within her. And so while the

[20:39] battle rages, while all of you guys are

[20:41] going through your own form of spiritual

[20:42] warfare within your family, your

[20:43] friends, your sphere of life, if you

[20:46] will, uh what feels like a delay is

[20:48] often divine preparation. So just hold

[20:51] on to that because it could feel like

[20:53] stagnation,

[20:55] change it in your mind to

[20:57] sanctification.

[20:58] Two totally different mindsets.

[21:01] I have to to I get to. It's powerful

[21:05] when you shift

[21:07] those patterns. The hidden years, the

[21:10] years of uncertainty in the battlefield

[21:12] of silent faithfulness, they're never

[21:13] wasted. They're a refining fire,

[21:17] chiseling your soul so that you can

[21:19] carry the weight of the calling that God

[21:21] has for you. And one day you'll look

[21:23] back on the season, you'll be like, I

[21:24] get it now. I see why I had to let that

[21:26] go, that guy go. He was the distraction.

[21:28] I'm married to this guy. I have amazing

[21:30] babies. I have the life that I've always

[21:32] wanted. You just have to trust.

[21:35] You have to trust.

[21:38] And while you're trusting, don't grow

[21:39] dull. Agreement without action is is

[21:42] disobedience. And the enemy disguises

[21:45] bondage as empowerment. So resist

[21:48] deception.

[21:50] Revival is not going to come through

[21:52] louder politicians and

[21:55] other and more influencers.

[21:58] It's just not. Revival is going to come

[22:00] through the living rooms of mothers who

[22:03] are praying with their children, praying

[22:05] over their children, loving on their

[22:07] husbands. It's going to come through

[22:09] college campuses of the you ladies that

[22:11] are students that are going to be like

[22:13] Esther. You're going to let your voice

[22:15] echo through those halls, even when they

[22:17] tell you not to. That's what you're

[22:19] going to do. And it's going to come

[22:21] through quiet prayers and bold actions

[22:24] of unshakable devotion to Jesus Christ.

[22:27] That's how revival is going to happen.

[22:30] So, I'm here to say welcome to the

[22:32] spiritual war. If you're not aware of

[22:35] it, put on the armor. Stand your post.

[22:38] You're a woman of the word. And when you

[22:41] feel isolated or unseen, go back to that

[22:43] blueprint.

[22:44] Ruth, Deborah, Hannah, Esther, Mother

[22:48] Mary, any of them. Go back to the

[22:50] blueprint. Fix your eyes on Christ

[22:54] because this is not for the faint of

[22:56] hearts. This spiritual battle,

[23:00] it's not also for Coachella Christianity

[23:02] where people are like, I'm just going to

[23:03] go with the wind of whatever the

[23:06] Christian flow is. Don't. No, no, no.

[23:08] This is for someone who is fixing their

[23:11] eyes on the Lord, who speaks truth and

[23:14] love because you are not some dainty

[23:16] decoration.

[23:17] You are a weapon in the hand of Almighty

[23:20] God.

[23:21] [Applause]

[23:27] And yes, these women that I talked

[23:28] about, they were in different times.

[23:30] They were in different cultures. They

[23:31] were, you know, you can't really relate

[23:33] always to their context. But what you

[23:36] can relate to is that they said yes when

[23:39] they didn't see the full picture. They

[23:42] had no idea how history was going to

[23:43] write out their yes

[23:46] when they said yes to God. But heaven

[23:48] did. Heaven knew exactly what was going

[23:51] to happen. So, I want you to take heart.

[23:55] Don't worry about the school. Don't

[23:57] worry about the job. I actually think

[24:00] that that's some form of feminism to be

[24:03] so caught up in I have to have this

[24:06] career and I have to have this and I

[24:07] have to that. It just is it's a

[24:09] distraction.

[24:11] The enemy loves that. But it's a total

[24:13] distraction. I think that that anxiety

[24:16] is what feminism is all about for what

[24:19] they want. They want you to be anxious.

[24:21] They want you to be on anti-depressants.

[24:26] They want you to be numb.

[24:29] They want they don't want you to feel.

[24:32] They don't want you to feel. So, I want

[24:34] to release you from that. Don't shrink

[24:36] back. This world and this generation

[24:39] needs women who echo the gospel.

[24:42] This world needs women who are marked by

[24:44] the cross.

[24:46] So my mission for all of you after you

[24:50] leave here,

[24:52] please

[24:54] go confuse the culture.

[24:57] Confuse the crap out of it. I don't even

[24:59] know if I'm allowed to say that, but

[25:00] confuse them. Go and confuse them. Do

[25:03] not conform to it. Let them stare at

[25:06] you. Let them write the meanest

[25:08] Instagram comments.

[25:11] Let them wander. Let them whisper. And

[25:13] while they're doing all of that, because

[25:15] that's just noise.

[25:17] Build your family.

[25:19] Go raise a family.

[25:22] Go build a life of holy defiance. Go

[25:25] love your husband. Go love your babies.

[25:28] Go teach your children how to blaze a

[25:31] trail of glory.

[25:33] Go lead in truth and go be the light.

[25:36] You don't have time for their noise.

[25:37] Don't seek their applause. It's not even

[25:39] worth it. Not even worth it. Go f go

[25:43] fulfill your purpose because you just

[25:45] need Jesus.

[25:46] It's all you need.

[25:49] So while the world is watching, heaven's

[25:51] cheering for you,

[25:54] cheering you on

[25:56] because just like the women before you,

[25:59] that blueprint, God is within you and

[26:03] you will not fail.

[26:06] You guys are so loved. I'm so proud of

[26:09] you. Pour into each other this weekend.

[26:12] Get everything you can out of this

[26:14] weekend. You're sitting in that chair

[26:16] for a reason.

[26:18] That exact chair,

[26:21] that person that's sitting right next to

[26:22] you was meant to sit right next to you.

[26:29] I'm not telling you to have figure out

[26:30] why,

[26:33] but just know that nothing is by

[26:35] mistake.

[26:37] nothing.

[26:39] I will never forget the time I was in

[26:41] Israel with my hus well not with that

[26:42] was the second time but the first time

[26:44] with my mother on a pilgrimage

[26:46] and I was standing in the ticket line

[26:49] and I remember looking behind me and in

[26:52] the snake of the ticket line was a guy

[26:54] who looked very familiar. I had no idea

[26:56] who he was and I told my mom, "This guy

[26:59] looks so familiar." And as a typical

[27:01] mother, she said go and say hi.

[27:04] No, we were late for our flight and I'm

[27:07] not going to come off like a crazy

[27:09] person with a That's just weird.

[27:12] That ended up being Charlie.

[27:17] Nothing is by coincidence. Now, did I

[27:19] did we know that that No, not until we

[27:21] were like 3 months into our relationship

[27:23] and looking at time stamps seeing that

[27:24] both of us were in Israel at the same

[27:26] time.

[27:28] But nothing is by coincidence

[27:31] when God is within you. Okay?

[27:34] See you guys go blaze a trail. Okay, God

[27:37] bless you all.
