Yo, did y'all hear that?

I love y'all We all like first of all again JR shine as much love to you brother for calling it out and letting me know and you know Y'all know I own mistakes when I make a mistake on this show It's just part of what we do. I'm a super busy person and this just lets me know I need a team I'm gonna have to build a team one day. You know, that's a whole different situation, but listen shout out to y'all for listening to this right here I love you.
You know what matter fact? I'm gonna give you I woke up this morning and did a little extended version of faith high-fear down I'm gonna get y'all that you look and I'm we might rest from around and record this for real This is just how I do music drafts. So this is literally like, you know last night was the first rough draft and tonight I'm like I added a little bit to it and then now I might get red hands on it my producer Y'all know red and see if you can add it like we can actually make it like a real song And I might just release this as a single faith high fear down. It's in my spirit strong I pray that it really blesses y'all man because when I really think that question there acts on the other episode when I really think about Like how like people be asking me how do you do this or how do you make it through this?
And it's not that I'm invincible It's not that like, you know, you all hear me talk about it last year man It was so tough to keep my faith high in the midst of all the racial tension and protesting like all these things on both sides All the political negative energy and I'm like, you know what's so crazy I thank God for keeping my faith high my fear down because I told people waiting till we get the next year Wait until the election passes. This is gonna pass and then it's gonna be a new problem and y'all know what's crazy I got to say this We went from last year all of this racial tension and it was just I just all this initial year That's all out the window and now we found a new way to be mad at each other through Vaccinations and people who aren't vax versus people who are vaccinate people trying to control everyone's lives on either side And I'm like this is insane But thank you God for keeping my faith high and my fear low And how am I gonna make it through this season right now when people are arguing about vaccines and mandates and who do you trust? I don't know I'm gonna make it by keeping my faith high and my fear down God did not give me the spirit of fear So that's how I do it not because I'm invincible not because I'm so great not because I'm so special But because in in these tough times I put my faith high and my fear down That's the only way I could keep my sanity because some of this stuff doesn't make sense to me I sit back and listen in intellectually like in-depth observation of things that people say on both sides And I'm just being real with you without my faith I would have no peace right now because it doesn't make sense How do we get from protesting and angry about social injustice and discrimination to discriminating people for a different reason and then like I'm looking at people on both sides And I'm like where is the faith? Where's Christ and to me?
This is what happens when you take Christ out of things me and start trying to handle solve God problems with their own logic and God will Send the foolish means to confound the wise and I'm telling you amen The only thing the only solution I could give you during this time if you struggling in your and you find yourself caught up and not knowing What to do or who to trust is keep your faith high and your fear down How do I keep my faith high by reading the word faith without works is dead so by doing the work That's what we're talking about do the work to keep your faith. Let me be specific for me That might mean okay in order to keep my faith high. I need podcast like you know inspired guys people like Pat the Revelation We gave like fathership project with me I need these these type of podcasts the information that Toya does quarantine with LaVille. I need to continue to Reinforce my faith in input and download the information of faith in me So that might mean you man, you know what?
I don't need to listen to that album I don't need to listen to that pack podcast over there. That's not talking about Christ. It's not keeping my faith high I don't need to watch the news station. That's keeping my fear high and lowering my faith So for me doing the work means to like yo, all right.
I know what it look like. I know everybody I know everybody saying it Jay every other podcast is talking about it But I keep my faith high and my fear down. That's the only way I could do it y'all like I'm just like I told y'all I'm giving you the blueprint in real time. I'm not that when this is all said and done for me I'm gonna have peace in the fact that I gave the blueprint.
Nobody's gonna be able to say how did he get there? How did he do this? He didn't tell nobody. No, I gave you the blueprint.
I held nothing behind keep your faith high and your fear down Everything I pray for is here now if I keep my faith high in my fear down Everything you pray for is here now if you keep your faith high in your fear down Everything I work for is here now if I keep my faith high in my fear down Everything I'm ready for is here now Cause I kept my faith high In my fear now I kept my faith high In my fear now So everything I'm ready for is here now I made it through all of my struggles I made it through all of my pain Lord I thank you for keeping me When I wanted to throw it away Yes I wanted to throw it away Yeah you brought me a part of my ways Fear now It showed me a better way Fear now Fear now Fear now Fear now Fear now Fear now Fear now Fear now
