Blood Pressure Monitors: Ditch the Stethoscope, Get Digital!

1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,909
So let's, let's go to, um,
how, how you do this at home.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,290
And again, I'm going to go over the
numbers again, because again, it's, it's,

3
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:11,160
it's, I understand that it's confusing.

4
00:00:11,949 --> 00:00:16,309
Uh, the number you want
to keep in mind is one 20.

5
00:00:16,605 --> 00:00:17,365
over 80.

6
00:00:17,555 --> 00:00:22,105
Now this is another chart that basically
shows you what I was showing before.

7
00:00:22,334 --> 00:00:25,615
So I don't, you don't have to go into
a lot of detail with it, but what, what

8
00:00:25,615 --> 00:00:30,474
you do want to know is find the 120
over 80 and that's where you want to be.

9
00:00:30,754 --> 00:00:36,594
But as we said before, as we get older,
that blood pressure creeps up, right?

10
00:00:36,914 --> 00:00:41,425
So, uh, your blood pressure at
70 is going to be higher than it

11
00:00:41,425 --> 00:00:44,354
was at 20 or 30, just normally.

12
00:00:44,815 --> 00:00:47,905
Doesn't mean you're a bad person,
and let, let, let me address this.

13
00:00:49,824 --> 00:00:53,614
One of the things that I tried
very hard with my patients is to

14
00:00:53,614 --> 00:00:55,364
have them eliminate the guilt.

15
00:00:56,165 --> 00:00:59,165
You, you will be amazed at how.

16
00:00:59,645 --> 00:01:00,735
Patients feel guilty.

17
00:01:01,155 --> 00:01:03,225
Now, that's not just because
they do it themselves.

18
00:01:03,245 --> 00:01:05,955
People say, well, you should have
done so and so and so and so.

19
00:01:05,955 --> 00:01:07,575
That's why your blood pressure is so high.

20
00:01:07,575 --> 00:01:10,964
And if you didn't do, you know, that
we, we make each other feel guilty.

21
00:01:11,045 --> 00:01:12,685
You know, husbands make wives feel guilty.

22
00:01:12,685 --> 00:01:15,594
Wives make husbands feel
guilty on and on and on and on.

23
00:01:15,674 --> 00:01:17,695
Get away, let go of the guilt.

24
00:01:17,944 --> 00:01:19,604
It just makes the blood pressure worse.

25
00:01:19,614 --> 00:01:20,954
So care about the guilt.

26
00:01:21,384 --> 00:01:22,374
We're all human.

27
00:01:22,434 --> 00:01:24,024
We're all makes mistakes.

28
00:01:24,214 --> 00:01:25,314
We're not perfect.

29
00:01:25,574 --> 00:01:26,274
It's okay.

30
00:01:26,914 --> 00:01:28,014
You don't have to be perfect.

31
00:01:28,074 --> 00:01:28,764
It's okay.

32
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,110
God made it us the way we
are and he, he is perfect.

33
00:01:32,110 --> 00:01:33,040
So it's okay.

34
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:35,670
Uh, so, so, so don't
worry about the guilt.

35
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:38,420
We particularly see that with
obesity where, where people

36
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:39,860
feel I must be a bad person.

37
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:41,570
That's why I can't control my, my diet.

38
00:01:42,634 --> 00:01:44,705
It's not true necessarily.

39
00:01:44,925 --> 00:01:46,785
And a lot of times this stuff is genetic.

40
00:01:47,315 --> 00:01:50,154
As a matter of fact, your blood
pressure may not be because

41
00:01:50,404 --> 00:01:51,574
you did something wrong.

42
00:01:51,714 --> 00:01:56,364
You may have gotten that from mom and
dad or grandma and granddad, right?

43
00:01:56,495 --> 00:01:57,945
So it's not your fault.

44
00:01:57,955 --> 00:02:01,035
So if you blame yourself
for stuff, let that go.

45
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:02,905
Just, just, just let that go.

46
00:02:02,905 --> 00:02:03,765
It's not worth it.

47
00:02:03,935 --> 00:02:06,065
And indeed, the more you blame
yourself, the higher it makes

48
00:02:06,065 --> 00:02:07,765
your blood pressure anyway, right?

49
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:10,795
So that you can do really easily.

50
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:19,430
All right, so this I found was golden,
and I, I, I researched every single

51
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,929
topic that I'm going to talk about
multiple times, even though I think

52
00:02:22,929 --> 00:02:24,920
I know it, but I still research it.

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,869
And I found this list that I
just thought was excellent.

54
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:38,020
What this does is that it tells you how
to measure your blood pressure at home.

55
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:42,159
How to measure your
blood pressure at home.

56
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:46,730
How many times have you gone to the
doctor and had him or her to give you

57
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:51,390
instructions, specific instructions,
about what you should do at home

58
00:02:51,390 --> 00:02:52,390
to measure your blood pressure?

59
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:56,460
Most times they don't, they'll just say,
well, you take it and you put it here

60
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:59,370
and you make sure you squeeze it and
the whole thing and, and if it's this,

61
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,360
it's I've not called me or whatever.

62
00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:03,859
So, so we're going to go over this.

63
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,479
Number one, do not drink caffeine,
smoke, exercise at least once a day.

64
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,580
30 minutes before you take your
blood pressure, don't, don't jump

65
00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:17,330
up on your, your exercise bike.

66
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:19,920
So, oh my goodness, I got an
appointment at six o'clock and I got

67
00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:22,890
to hurry up and, oh, I need to run
and take my blood pressure before

68
00:03:22,890 --> 00:03:28,009
I go to my, no, don't do that.

69
00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:31,819
Do not do that, right, right,
because your blood pressure is going

70
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:35,560
to be high and then you're going
to really get upset, oh my God.

71
00:03:37,625 --> 00:03:40,215
And that's just going
to make it higher, okay?

72
00:03:40,395 --> 00:03:42,335
So, let me go over number one.

73
00:03:42,475 --> 00:03:47,105
And if you don't remember any slide that
I presented today, remember this slide.

74
00:03:47,725 --> 00:03:48,685
Remember this slide.

75
00:03:48,955 --> 00:03:56,134
And let me also say, God bless Shelly,
who now puts this on the website.

76
00:03:56,405 --> 00:03:57,635
puts this on the church website.

77
00:03:57,845 --> 00:03:59,125
It's on your church website.

78
00:03:59,135 --> 00:04:00,435
SDSBC.

79
00:04:00,785 --> 00:04:02,225
It's on your church website.

80
00:04:02,595 --> 00:04:04,725
Uh, and if you see, it's on the events.

81
00:04:05,205 --> 00:04:08,255
It's on the events, uh, the
Hoblock personal lecture today.

82
00:04:08,485 --> 00:04:10,505
Scroll down and the PowerPoint is there.

83
00:04:10,575 --> 00:04:12,045
It's at the bottom of the page.

84
00:04:12,324 --> 00:04:13,074
And so it's there.

85
00:04:13,074 --> 00:04:15,554
But, but, but please remember this.

86
00:04:16,415 --> 00:04:18,945
So again, don't drink caffeine.

87
00:04:19,065 --> 00:04:19,365
Why?

88
00:04:19,365 --> 00:04:21,285
Because caffeine is a stimulant.

89
00:04:21,675 --> 00:04:22,545
I love coffee.

90
00:04:22,844 --> 00:04:23,925
Caffeine is a stimulant.

91
00:04:24,155 --> 00:04:27,245
30 minutes before you
check your blood pressure.

92
00:04:27,254 --> 00:04:30,065
You can drink your coffee, but
just don't do it before that.

93
00:04:30,254 --> 00:04:33,015
Don't smoke, exercise at
least 30 minutes before that.

94
00:04:33,275 --> 00:04:34,189
Number two.

95
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:37,390
Empty your bladder before
you take your blood pressure.

96
00:04:38,010 --> 00:04:44,000
Seems simple, but, but many times it can
add to an increase in blood pressure.

97
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:46,370
You're looking at one 20 over 80.

98
00:04:46,645 --> 00:04:50,790
You, you don't want having a full
bladder to get you up to 1 25, right?

99
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:53,280
Come on, we, we can talk here.

100
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,270
I'm your doctor.

101
00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:55,860
We can talk.

102
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:57,480
You don't want that, right?

103
00:04:58,810 --> 00:04:59,830
. Basic stuff.

104
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:03,270
Basic stuff, and we want you
to do this every single time.

105
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:05,030
every single time.

106
00:05:05,099 --> 00:05:05,510
Okay.

107
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Number three, sit with your back
straight in a chair, feet on the floor.

108
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:13,340
Okay.

109
00:05:13,950 --> 00:05:15,610
Uh, and, and just, just sit there.

110
00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:19,289
You, we want you to have a certain posture
as you measure your blood pressure.

111
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:27,740
Number four, rest quietly at least five
minutes before we take your reading.

112
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:31,469
Remember you just jumped off the
exercise bike and you're rushing

113
00:05:31,469 --> 00:05:32,620
to take your blood pressure?

114
00:05:32,679 --> 00:05:33,840
No, no, no.

115
00:05:34,139 --> 00:05:35,670
Stop, stop.

116
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:38,450
Just sit and think about something.

117
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,670
For you wives, think about your husband.

118
00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:43,460
For you husbands, think about your wife.

119
00:05:49,625 --> 00:05:51,035
I want you to relax.

120
00:05:54,294 --> 00:05:55,385
Oh my goodness.

121
00:05:56,695 --> 00:05:57,905
Think about whatever.

122
00:06:01,284 --> 00:06:03,065
Whatever relaxes you.

123
00:06:03,344 --> 00:06:04,465
You don't have to tell me.

124
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:05,515
You don't have to tell me.

125
00:06:05,704 --> 00:06:06,585
I don't want to know.

126
00:06:09,795 --> 00:06:15,715
But you want to be in a quiet place
mentally, at least five minutes before

127
00:06:15,715 --> 00:06:17,405
you take your blood pressure, right?

128
00:06:17,734 --> 00:06:19,974
Because what you're doing is
you're settling everything

129
00:06:19,974 --> 00:06:21,834
down, selling everything down.

130
00:06:22,094 --> 00:06:26,014
I, I went to one of the podcasts we did
and we're going to do another one on it.

131
00:06:26,304 --> 00:06:31,174
I talk about the prefrontal cortex,
that's the head, the brain, the prefrontal

132
00:06:31,184 --> 00:06:32,884
cortex is where the forehead is.

133
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,910
But if you go into the brain,
that, that's what we call the,

134
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,040
the executive center of the body.

135
00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:40,480
That's where you do your thinking.

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,569
That, that's what tells you when
to speak, when not to speak,

137
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:44,370
whatever, whatever, whatever.

138
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,730
The whole purpose of you resting for
five minutes is for that prefrontal

139
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:51,290
cortex to settle everything down.

140
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,830
It's like, you know, with family, you
tell all the kids, okay, everybody

141
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,560
be quiet, everybody be quiet.

142
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:57,660
Five minutes, five minutes,
everybody be quiet.

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,630
Why?

144
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,370
Because you want the best.

145
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:05,500
possible blood pressure
number when you check it.

146
00:07:05,995 --> 00:07:06,885
Does that make sense?

147
00:07:07,755 --> 00:07:10,985
You, you want it to be most accurate
and the best possible number.

148
00:07:11,205 --> 00:07:16,394
The last thing you want is to have
it be artificially high and then

149
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:20,765
that worries you and scares you
and so then it goes even higher.

150
00:07:21,405 --> 00:07:22,164
Does that make sense?

151
00:07:22,254 --> 00:07:22,664
Okay.

152
00:07:22,854 --> 00:07:25,094
So again, these, this is control.

153
00:07:25,425 --> 00:07:29,445
This is control of you now
and, and, and throughout the

154
00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:31,945
leadership, we, we don't try to.

155
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:36,369
Uh, give you advice about, uh, how to
control others, we're talking about you

156
00:07:36,369 --> 00:07:38,919
controlling you, you controlling you.

157
00:07:39,190 --> 00:07:42,710
And that's in the prefrontal
cortex of the brain, right?

158
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,279
And that says, no, I'm not going
there, I'm not going to say

159
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:51,070
that, I'm thinking it, but I'm
not going to say it, all right?

160
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,900
You know, that, that's the conversation
that you have, and that occurs in

161
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:58,620
that prefrontal cortex of the brain.

162
00:07:59,025 --> 00:08:01,695
You know, and, you know, the
id, the ego, and the superego.

163
00:08:02,505 --> 00:08:04,615
The id is, is self, self, self.

164
00:08:04,615 --> 00:08:06,775
The ego is the rational part.

165
00:08:06,945 --> 00:08:09,215
The superego is what I
call the Holy Spirit.

166
00:08:09,235 --> 00:08:11,855
What, what, uh, Robin Collins
calls the Holy Spirit.

167
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:12,885
Uh, okay.

168
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:16,915
Uh, and, and my point is, you know, it's
like, there's the middle you, there's

169
00:08:16,915 --> 00:08:20,295
the selfish you, there's the bad you and
the good you, then you're in the middle.

170
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,245
If that makes sense, okay?

171
00:08:22,465 --> 00:08:24,505
And the good you is the Holy Spirit.

172
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:26,755
I mean, God says, I'm going
to leave that with you.

173
00:08:26,975 --> 00:08:28,865
You know, I'm not going
to leave you by yourself.

174
00:08:29,105 --> 00:08:32,929
You will have something
that you can call on 24 7.

175
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:34,395
24 7.

176
00:08:34,885 --> 00:08:36,105
Let's see what we got to use it.

177
00:08:36,815 --> 00:08:40,885
We can't just leave it in the
corner, that's, okay, I don't want

178
00:08:40,885 --> 00:08:46,305
to, so, that was number three.

179
00:08:47,345 --> 00:08:51,115
Number four, no, number four
was resting for five minutes.

180
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:55,134
Number five, do not talk, move.

181
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,949
text before you take your blood pressure.

182
00:08:58,199 --> 00:09:01,930
Do not sit there with your cell
phone, you know, and you're sitting

183
00:09:01,930 --> 00:09:04,150
there with the thing on your arm,
you get a text, and you're doing

184
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:07,900
this, you're not, no, don't do that,
don't do that, don't do that, right?

185
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,660
And for obvious reasons, because you,
you get a text, you're not paying

186
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:14,750
attention, and already you, you're
alert, and you're thinking, because

187
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,730
you got to respond, so don't do that.

188
00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:22,070
Um, and finally, if your blood
pressure is above 120 over 80,

189
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:24,430
stand up and take it again.

190
00:09:25,530 --> 00:09:30,979
Because you notice, if you go into your
doctor's office, and I'll just use it

191
00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:36,849
again, Kaiser, you go into Kaiser's
office, and your blood pressure is 120

192
00:09:36,850 --> 00:09:39,140
over 80, first thing the nurse is going
to do is say, well why don't we have

193
00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:41,060
you stand up and let's take it again.

194
00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:42,560
Most of the times.

195
00:09:43,085 --> 00:09:44,655
When you stand up, it'll drop.

196
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:46,375
Okay.

197
00:09:46,715 --> 00:09:50,375
Most of the times when you
stand up, it'll drop a bit.

198
00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:51,035
Why?

199
00:09:51,075 --> 00:09:53,345
Because this is a continuous process.

200
00:09:53,605 --> 00:09:55,915
It is not one way, 24 seven.

201
00:09:56,085 --> 00:09:59,074
And that's what's confusing
for most regular people.

202
00:09:59,235 --> 00:10:02,185
So I don't understand why this
because it's always moving.

203
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,425
It's always moving.

204
00:10:03,844 --> 00:10:04,314
Right?

205
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:08,245
So what you want to do is
take control of all that.

206
00:10:09,795 --> 00:10:12,815
Take control of it because it's your body.

207
00:10:12,815 --> 00:10:12,935
Okay.

208
00:10:13,355 --> 00:10:15,064
Now a lot of stuff you can't control.

209
00:10:15,074 --> 00:10:16,405
You can't control other people.

210
00:10:17,105 --> 00:10:18,105
You can't do any of that.

211
00:10:18,564 --> 00:10:19,854
But you can control you.

212
00:10:20,825 --> 00:10:22,795
You can control you, right?

213
00:10:22,934 --> 00:10:24,544
Because you're responsible for you.

214
00:10:25,855 --> 00:10:27,675
So remember those things.

215
00:10:27,725 --> 00:10:32,105
And again, I encourage you to go to the
church website and just copy that slide.

216
00:10:32,105 --> 00:10:33,444
If you don't copy anything else.

217
00:10:34,135 --> 00:10:36,575
And if you need more information,
just sort of check out.

218
00:10:36,735 --> 00:10:38,755
Now, real quick, don't
want to take too much time.

219
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,710
Blood pressure equipment.

220
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,699
Now, I, I graduated from
medical school in 1973.

221
00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:50,030
And I remember when we used
to take blood pressure, that

222
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:51,120
was the blood pressure cuff.

223
00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:52,770
That's the thing you wrap around your arm.

224
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,170
That was a stethoscope, you know.

225
00:10:55,349 --> 00:10:57,430
That was this little thing
that you would squeeze.

226
00:10:57,460 --> 00:10:58,830
You know, you can see the picture.

227
00:10:58,830 --> 00:11:00,469
That's in the doctor's hand.

228
00:11:00,469 --> 00:11:01,750
You're squeezing this little thing.

229
00:11:02,009 --> 00:11:04,060
And, you know, squeezing
the pressure as it goes up.

230
00:11:04,290 --> 00:11:07,120
And then you slowly let it
out and it comes back down.

231
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,550
And you watch the thing
flick and flick and flick.

232
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:10,510
Don't use that.

233
00:11:12,165 --> 00:11:13,715
A lot of blood.

234
00:11:14,635 --> 00:11:18,875
Now, your blood pressure
should have only two pieces.

235
00:11:19,585 --> 00:11:22,875
There's the cuff that goes around
your arm and it has a tube, and

236
00:11:22,875 --> 00:11:25,025
then there's the little machine,
that's the little white thing.

237
00:11:25,485 --> 00:11:30,725
You just plug it into the machine, push
a button, that's all you do, right?

238
00:11:33,135 --> 00:11:36,755
So, you can go to the
pharmacy and get one.

239
00:11:36,765 --> 00:11:39,855
They're usually not that expensive, about
20 or 30 bucks if you don't have one.

240
00:11:40,254 --> 00:11:43,884
Uh, if you have one that's old, I
would encourage you to update it,

241
00:11:43,884 --> 00:11:47,565
because the last thing you want is
to have your blood pressure measured

242
00:11:47,805 --> 00:11:49,525
by a machine that's not affected.

243
00:11:50,005 --> 00:11:51,825
Because you want it to
be accurate, is my point.

244
00:11:52,175 --> 00:11:54,365
You don't want a mistaken
blood pressure, okay?

245
00:11:55,495 --> 00:11:59,555
And, uh, so you, you don't need to set
the scope, you don't need to do the

246
00:11:59,555 --> 00:12:03,385
self inflating because when you push
the button, it automatically inflates.

247
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:07,890
Uh, and then, and it, it does everything
else by itself, and then it goes

248
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:09,810
down, and then it gives you a reading.

249
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,810
And usually it saves the reading
at the bottom of the machine, okay?

250
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:15,560
So that's all you need to do.

251
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:17,070
Simplicity.

252
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,319
If there's anything I've learned in my
76 years, simplicity is always better.

253
00:12:22,530 --> 00:12:26,180
Whenever things get complicated,
there's usually a problem there.

254
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:27,510
You know what I mean?

255
00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:29,090
Life should be simple.

256
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:30,000
It should be simple.

257
00:12:32,730 --> 00:12:33,280
Okay.

258
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:37,180
Remember to get your regular
checkups and that sort of thing.

259
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:42,030
Um, uh, and as I mentioned before,
blood pressure can be inherited.

260
00:12:42,450 --> 00:12:45,869
So if you have it, it does
not mean you're a bad person.

261
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:50,960
And I, I, I mentioned this and I know
it may seem like a bit much, but a large

262
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
percentage of my patients, certainly
when I had my office, uh, were from St.

263
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Stephen's or a number
of them were from St.

264
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:57,990
Stephen's.

265
00:12:58,435 --> 00:13:01,665
And, and what I find was we
Christians tend to be, we

266
00:13:01,665 --> 00:13:02,895
tend to beat up on ourselves.

267
00:13:03,595 --> 00:13:06,105
You know, we tend to think that,
well, you know, if I just really

268
00:13:06,135 --> 00:13:08,965
prayed a little harder, my blood
pressure would be under control.

269
00:13:08,975 --> 00:13:09,415
No.

270
00:13:10,025 --> 00:13:10,955
Doesn't work that way.

271
00:13:11,585 --> 00:13:11,935
It doesn't.

272
00:13:12,175 --> 00:13:17,304
So, whatever your health condition
is, it is not a barometer of

273
00:13:17,304 --> 00:13:18,675
your level of Christianity.

274
00:13:19,365 --> 00:13:20,225
It is not.

275
00:13:20,685 --> 00:13:22,555
The two are separate, okay?

276
00:13:24,445 --> 00:13:26,435
Okay, just what we talked about before.

277
00:13:26,435 --> 00:13:30,705
Some of the symptoms that may occur,
uh, with high blood pressure, headaches,

278
00:13:30,705 --> 00:13:35,945
chest pain, blood in the urine, shortness
of breath, um, vomiting, palpitations,

279
00:13:35,965 --> 00:13:38,465
dizziness, blurred vision, nosebleeds.

280
00:13:38,724 --> 00:13:41,535
Most of the times, most people
don't get these symptoms.

281
00:13:42,635 --> 00:13:44,835
Most of the times, most
people don't get them.

282
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:46,265
Some do.

283
00:13:46,515 --> 00:13:51,385
But most do not, which is why
you cannot rely on symptomatology

284
00:13:51,775 --> 00:13:55,755
to tell you how controlled your
blood pressure is or is not.

285
00:13:56,854 --> 00:13:57,885
Treatment of the problem.

286
00:14:01,235 --> 00:14:05,944
It is individual because each of
us is uniquely, uh, individual.

287
00:14:06,224 --> 00:14:08,974
Uh, lifestyle considerations
are very important.

288
00:14:09,334 --> 00:14:13,444
Um, it is important that you have
regular checkups with your physician.

289
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,210
Um, and always coordinate
with, with the physician.

290
00:14:17,450 --> 00:14:23,100
But I believe, and, and a big part of
these Masterclass series and podcasts

291
00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:25,929
is that we have control over ourselves.

292
00:14:25,930 --> 00:14:32,570
And I think that that's the one
untapped area of healthcare, is that

293
00:14:32,570 --> 00:14:35,830
we want to do all these things and
tell patients, go here, go there,

294
00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:39,569
instead of saying, you know what, you,
you can actually do this yourself.

295
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,400
And if you can do it yourself,
you're going to be better at doing it

296
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,460
than I am, you know, because you're
going to be more motivated to do it.

297
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,120
And clearly, blood pressure
is one of those things.

298
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:54,870
Again, just some basic things
about, uh, blood pressure

299
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,740
management, pretty much everything
has to do with diet and exercise.

300
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,439
If you exercise, that helps
to lower your blood pressure.

301
00:15:02,070 --> 00:15:06,710
If you eat properly, low salt types of
foods, and most of you are familiar with

302
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:10,079
it, or you can sort of look it up, that
helps to control your blood pressure.

303
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:12,140
So there are a lot of
other aggregate things.

304
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:17,320
That can, that can participate with that,
but you start with the intentionality

305
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,790
of the prefrontal cortex of the brain.

306
00:15:20,260 --> 00:15:23,159
I am going to do this
because I need to do this.

307
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:23,959
Period.

308
00:15:24,609 --> 00:15:26,450
Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

309
00:15:29,890 --> 00:15:36,350
It is because of the very base, very
variability of blood pressure is that

310
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,350
it makes the treatment more complex.

311
00:15:38,650 --> 00:15:41,690
On the left side here, there
are different, many different

312
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,200
types of medications.

313
00:15:43,270 --> 00:15:44,720
Uh, to treat blood pressure.

314
00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:47,660
And indeed, if you have blood
pressure, uh, I'm going to submit

315
00:15:47,660 --> 00:15:50,010
that you're probably on more
than one medication right now.

316
00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:53,619
You might be on a water pill, you might
be on a calcium blocker, you might

317
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,879
be on an ACE inhibitor, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

318
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,249
Don't worry about all that.

319
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,209
Don't worry about all that.

320
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Take your medication as prescribed.

321
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:02,199
Alright.

322
00:16:02,579 --> 00:16:06,839
Um, and do not, do not say, well,
you know, I feel okay today.

323
00:16:07,319 --> 00:16:09,540
I don't think I need to take
that blood pressure stuff.

324
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:10,319
I feel good.

325
00:16:10,499 --> 00:16:12,089
No, no, no.

326
00:16:12,329 --> 00:16:13,560
Take it every single day.

327
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,620
And if, when you put on new medication,
if it bothers you, um, say you put on

328
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:22,555
a water pill, but now you have to get
up every hour to go to bed and you say,

329
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,910
you know, I can't even sleep at night.

330
00:16:24,260 --> 00:16:28,030
This is what the, tell your doctor
and have him or her to change it.

331
00:16:28,410 --> 00:16:32,030
There are almost a hundred
types of blood pressure pills.

332
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,800
So they can change it and
find the right one for you.

333
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,429
If your doctor is lazy and he or she
will not listen to you, change doctors.

334
00:16:41,130 --> 00:16:41,680
Real something.

335
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:43,410
Remember, you're in charge.

336
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,390
It's your body, right?

337
00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:46,130
You're in charge.

338
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:50,060
And if there's anything that I have
learned, and I, I will, I would

339
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:54,369
definitely tell you that, you know,
back in the 70s when, when, when I came

340
00:16:54,369 --> 00:16:58,109
out of medical school, the philosophy
was sort of Yale and other places

341
00:16:58,109 --> 00:17:00,040
that we, the doctor, are in charge.

342
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:01,190
You do what I say.

343
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:03,370
Don't, don't ask me questions.

344
00:17:03,370 --> 00:17:04,170
Just do what I say.

345
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:05,850
All right.

346
00:17:06,505 --> 00:17:10,695
And what I learned, and this falls under
the category of what my patients have

347
00:17:10,775 --> 00:17:13,845
taught me over the last 50 plus years.

348
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:18,849
It's that, that's not always
the best care to give people.

349
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:24,660
The best care is where there's a
partnership between me and that patient.

350
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:26,280
And I said, okay, Mrs.

351
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Smith, uh, I'm going to
suggest you do A, B and C.

352
00:17:30,129 --> 00:17:31,489
Uh, do you understand?

353
00:17:31,719 --> 00:17:32,149
And Mrs.

354
00:17:32,149 --> 00:17:35,909
Smith says, okay, uh, if I don't get Mrs.

355
00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:40,149
Smith's agreement, I can
prescribe all the stuff I want.

356
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:44,669
She may or may not take it
depending on how she feels about me.

357
00:17:45,410 --> 00:17:46,010
Right?

358
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:46,720
Right?

359
00:17:46,930 --> 00:17:48,310
So am I helping her?

360
00:17:48,330 --> 00:17:49,620
No, I'm not.

361
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:51,160
I'm not helping her.

362
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,160
My goal is to help her.

363
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,450
I need to do what I should do.

364
00:17:55,490 --> 00:17:58,150
I'm, I'm theoretically the
healthcare professional.

365
00:17:58,490 --> 00:18:00,429
So I need to meet her where she is.

366
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,790
Um, one of the things we used to tell
medical students, uh, um, when they

367
00:18:04,790 --> 00:18:05,889
would come and they'd say, Oh, Dr.

368
00:18:05,889 --> 00:18:07,980
Charter, I just don't know
what's going on with this guy.

369
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:11,389
You know, I went over the stuff, but
he says it's still whatever, whatever.

370
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,939
And I would say, go back again.

371
00:18:14,524 --> 00:18:15,935
Because you've obviously missed something.

372
00:18:16,575 --> 00:18:19,455
And what they used to tell
us is, listen to the patient.

373
00:18:19,855 --> 00:18:22,035
She's telling you what the problem is.

374
00:18:22,455 --> 00:18:23,805
You aren't hearing her.

375
00:18:24,435 --> 00:18:27,735
And so if, if, if it's not
working, you need to go back.

376
00:18:27,755 --> 00:18:28,765
It's not her fault.

377
00:18:29,794 --> 00:18:30,804
She's not the doctor.

378
00:18:30,844 --> 00:18:31,925
She's not supposed to know.

379
00:18:32,594 --> 00:18:37,645
Your job is to go back again and
again and again and again and

380
00:18:37,645 --> 00:18:39,555
again until you get it right.

381
00:18:40,550 --> 00:18:41,480
Until you get it right.

382
00:18:43,970 --> 00:18:44,040
Okay.

383
00:18:44,370 --> 00:18:46,510
Same, same thing with
the, with the medication.

384
00:18:46,919 --> 00:18:48,510
Um, everybody knows this.

385
00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:49,310
Well, let me say it again.

386
00:18:49,310 --> 00:18:51,220
Never take other people's medication.

387
00:18:52,325 --> 00:18:56,875
Alright, you run out of your medication
because the prescription didn't arrive

388
00:18:56,875 --> 00:18:59,965
and you forgot to go to the pharmacy
and you say, well, you know, my husband

389
00:18:59,965 --> 00:19:06,185
has, um, um, um, a hydrochlorothiazide,
you know, I just take one of his

390
00:19:06,185 --> 00:19:11,405
tablets, you know, it's the same
25 milligrams, no, don't do that.

391
00:19:11,745 --> 00:19:12,395
Don't do that.

392
00:19:12,745 --> 00:19:13,235
Okay.

393
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:18,585
Um, uh, so make sure, uh, if, if
you get your medication in the

394
00:19:18,585 --> 00:19:20,985
mail, um, uh, do it ahead of time.

395
00:19:21,355 --> 00:19:24,245
And make sure you like a time
ahead, you know, depending on

396
00:19:24,245 --> 00:19:25,995
what, what service you use.

397
00:19:26,355 --> 00:19:29,425
But you don't want to run out if you're
going to go out of town, make sure

398
00:19:29,425 --> 00:19:34,135
you have enough medication with you if
you're going on a trip or somewhere.

399
00:19:34,635 --> 00:19:38,514
In summary, hypertension is a
very common medical problem.

400
00:19:39,385 --> 00:19:41,854
It is probably the one of the most common.

401
00:19:42,975 --> 00:19:44,004
Serious medical problems.

402
00:19:44,504 --> 00:19:46,514
Patients are often treated
with multiple medications.

403
00:19:46,514 --> 00:19:47,405
We talked about that.

404
00:19:47,665 --> 00:19:51,985
I would say the single most important
thing is for you to accurately

405
00:19:52,004 --> 00:19:54,625
measure your blood pressure at home.

406
00:19:54,975 --> 00:19:58,254
Because the reality is, this is
also what my patients have taught

407
00:19:58,254 --> 00:20:03,449
me over the last 50 years, it is a
partnership between doctor and patient.

408
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:07,230
It is a partnership, or
healthcare team and patient.

409
00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:09,020
It is a partnership.

410
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:11,949
We used to just say, well,
we'll just tell them what to do.

411
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:13,410
That's all they do.

412
00:20:13,650 --> 00:20:14,640
That's not good enough.

413
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,320
That's not good enough.

414
00:20:16,740 --> 00:20:20,830
Because if I tell you what to
do, and if I'm a jerk, why,

415
00:20:20,879 --> 00:20:22,129
why would you listen to me?

416
00:20:22,130 --> 00:20:25,629
You know, and I said, you know, that
guy, my husband was sitting in the room

417
00:20:25,629 --> 00:20:26,909
and he didn't even speak to my husband.

418
00:20:28,069 --> 00:20:29,529
My husband was sitting right there.

419
00:20:29,549 --> 00:20:30,529
He didn't even speak to him.

420
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:31,749
He just started talking to him.

421
00:20:31,819 --> 00:20:33,349
He acted like my husband
was a piece of work.

422
00:20:33,870 --> 00:20:35,330
Why shouldn't I trust him?

423
00:20:35,810 --> 00:20:37,919
You know, and so why are you
looking for somebody that you

424
00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:41,210
don't take the medication and
then you end up suffering, right?

425
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,560
Um, so, so keep that in mind.

426
00:20:43,940 --> 00:20:49,719
Um, uh, it's important that when you
get your blood pressure cuff, I mean

427
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,079
your blood pressure machine, take it
with you to your next doctor's visit.

428
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,060
And have them to check out
your blood pressure machine.

429
00:20:57,090 --> 00:21:00,370
Now, most of them are pretty basic, but
just to make sure that it's accurate.

430
00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:02,040
Just make sure that it's accurate.

431
00:21:02,490 --> 00:21:02,950
Okay.

432
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,070
And then that there's no downside
and they'll be happy to do it.

433
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:08,040
There's no downside to do that.

434
00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:12,869
Um, and always, if you have a question.

435
00:21:13,485 --> 00:21:17,335
Always call the doctor or email
the doctor, whatever way you

436
00:21:17,335 --> 00:21:19,025
communicate to your health care team.

437
00:21:20,955 --> 00:21:25,415
One of the things I always like, because
again, you're a leadership masterclass, is

438
00:21:25,415 --> 00:21:31,605
to make sure that you always do your own
research, in addition to what we say here.

439
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:35,135
And these are just search things
you can put in your search engine,

440
00:21:35,365 --> 00:21:37,135
on your phone, on your PC at home.

441
00:21:37,415 --> 00:21:42,245
Yale Health, Kaiser Permanente, which
is local, Harvard Health, Mayo Clinic.

442
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:45,820
Just, you'll look up high blood
pressure, uh, at the Mayo Clinic.

443
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,889
They'll tell you what I just
said, but that just reinforces

444
00:21:48,889 --> 00:21:52,649
your knowledge and your skill
base, um, as, as you review stuff.

445
00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:58,610
Um, I always like to end up, uh,
going over my basic principles.

446
00:21:58,919 --> 00:22:01,249
Um, number one, God is in charge.

447
00:22:01,290 --> 00:22:03,800
God is in charge of my
life and as a physician.

448
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,709
Um, I learned this many, many years ago.

449
00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:13,040
Um, and, uh, I would encourage you
if you are blessed to be a person of

450
00:22:13,060 --> 00:22:18,820
faith, and if you believe, um, that
is a huge part of your health care,

451
00:22:19,939 --> 00:22:23,760
and that will help you, uh, as, as
you have to deal with other things.

452
00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:26,370
Second thing, I don't have bad days.

453
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,629
Uh, I've said many times before, I used to
have bad days up until about 30 years ago,

454
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:34,350
and about 30 years ago, I figured out.

455
00:22:34,850 --> 00:22:38,479
That my days were good or
bad if I said they were bad.

456
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,999
If it's raining outside and
I say, oh, that's such a bad

457
00:22:41,999 --> 00:22:43,100
day, then it's a bad day.

458
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:45,889
If it's raining outside and I
say, oh, what a beautiful day,

459
00:22:46,089 --> 00:22:47,129
then it's a beautiful day.

460
00:22:47,299 --> 00:22:50,319
So I decided I'd had
enough bad days in my life.

461
00:22:50,489 --> 00:22:51,969
And so I eliminated them all.

462
00:22:52,679 --> 00:22:55,040
My point is, if I can
do it, you can do it.

463
00:22:55,699 --> 00:22:59,120
That if you, if you get up
and, and Saturday's a bad day.

464
00:22:59,570 --> 00:23:04,810
Eliminate it, because you have that power,
because that's, that's you, that has

465
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:09,840
nothing to do with anybody else, and you
can control how you feel, and what you

466
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,570
believe, just by what you tell yourself.

467
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,800
And so, so use that power.

468
00:23:15,259 --> 00:23:18,570
Don't sweat the small stuff, most
stuff is small, I have learned.

469
00:23:19,255 --> 00:23:22,445
That most of the times when you think
something negative, I'll make it

470
00:23:22,445 --> 00:23:26,275
spit, when I think something negative
about something that's happened or

471
00:23:26,275 --> 00:23:28,734
something somebody says, I am wrong.

472
00:23:29,474 --> 00:23:31,385
Most of the times, I am wrong.

473
00:23:31,625 --> 00:23:34,384
And most of the times, even if I'm
right, it doesn't matter anyway.

474
00:23:35,564 --> 00:23:35,804
Right?

475
00:23:35,805 --> 00:23:36,485
It's little.

476
00:23:36,514 --> 00:23:37,484
It's small.

477
00:23:37,564 --> 00:23:38,695
I don't care.

478
00:23:39,044 --> 00:23:40,495
So I say, you know what?

479
00:23:40,505 --> 00:23:41,745
I just let that stuff go.

480
00:23:41,804 --> 00:23:42,545
I just let it go.

481
00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:43,165
Let it go.

482
00:23:43,595 --> 00:23:46,820
Um, Number four, forgiveness is therapy.

483
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:51,320
Similar to number three, somebody
says something to you, uses a certain

484
00:23:51,390 --> 00:23:57,639
tone that offends you, does something
to you, forgive them instantly.

485
00:23:57,660 --> 00:24:00,609
Don't think about it, because if
you think about it, you won't do it.

486
00:24:01,780 --> 00:24:04,340
You won't, you'll talk yourself out of it.

487
00:24:04,639 --> 00:24:06,429
Say, no, I don't like
the way she looked at me.

488
00:24:06,469 --> 00:24:07,189
No, no, no.

489
00:24:07,549 --> 00:24:09,639
No, just say, God, I forgive them.

490
00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:10,599
God bless you.

491
00:24:10,729 --> 00:24:13,909
Have a great day or whatever,
whatever, but forgive them.

492
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,080
And you will find that that
is therapeutic for you.

493
00:24:17,970 --> 00:24:19,250
Because what are we talking about?

494
00:24:19,570 --> 00:24:21,080
Only you can control you.

495
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:23,439
Nobody's going to help you with this.

496
00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:24,409
Not really.

497
00:24:24,669 --> 00:24:27,189
They can give you advice,
but it's still up to you.

498
00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:29,950
But if you have that power, use it.

499
00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:30,879
Okay.

500
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Um, and, and the fifth thing,
uh, and I say this all the time,

501
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,020
definitely I've learned this,
everything is a relationship.

502
00:24:41,070 --> 00:24:44,130
This is a relationship between me and you.

503
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,810
It's a relationship.

504
00:24:46,269 --> 00:24:50,449
Relationships are based on three
things, mutual respect, mutual

505
00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:53,239
trust, good communication.

506
00:24:53,774 --> 00:24:56,445
If you have those three things,
you have a great relationship.

507
00:24:56,775 --> 00:25:00,114
I don't care whether it's boyfriend,
girlfriend, husband, wife, son,

508
00:25:00,125 --> 00:25:04,214
daughter, I mean, son, father,
whatever, whatever, whatever.

509
00:25:04,565 --> 00:25:08,674
Uh, but if you don't have those
three things, then you've got some

510
00:25:08,685 --> 00:25:10,725
work to do with that relationship.

511
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:14,635
One of the things, and I
think, um, I think it was Jesse

512
00:25:14,635 --> 00:25:16,794
that mentioned, um, um, St.

513
00:25:16,794 --> 00:25:22,485
Stephen's very graciously, um,
has, Place information about

514
00:25:22,745 --> 00:25:26,145
the Leadership Masterclass on
their website, on the website.

515
00:25:26,585 --> 00:25:30,154
Um, um, Shelley Shaw and the
team, Pastor Dockery, and so

516
00:25:30,155 --> 00:25:32,655
we're very appreciative of that.

517
00:25:32,914 --> 00:25:34,454
But my point is, you have access.

518
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:38,960
If you say, oh, you know, that guy
was talking so fast, I didn't listen

519
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,449
to half of what he said, you can go
back to the website and look it up.

520
00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:50,199
And as I said, as of a month ago, um,
Shelley even has the, the PowerPoint.

521
00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:52,340
This PowerPoint is on the website.

522
00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:53,880
Scroll all the way down to the bottom.

523
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,280
That's on the events.

524
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,480
You have to go on the events,
not ministries, on the events.

525
00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:59,550
Scroll all the way down to Masterclass.

526
00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:00,560
It's in red.

527
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,710
Um, and, um, and you can find that.

528
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:08,310
And also the podcasts, uh,
are on the, on the ministries.

529
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,500
Scroll all the way down.

530
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,960
And every single podcast
is on the website.

531
00:26:13,369 --> 00:26:14,330
Just click the button.

532
00:26:14,550 --> 00:26:21,310
Well, one of my favorite podcasts
is, um, um, um, Casey Davis.

533
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,290
Casey Davis, 10 years old, 10 years
old, I've done, I've done a number

534
00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:29,340
of interviews, but that's one of
the favorite interviews that I did.

535
00:26:29,650 --> 00:26:33,529
Um, she was recommended to me by her
Sunday school teacher, so she talked

536
00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:36,090
to her, and she was talking about,
oh, this, this, this, this kid is

537
00:26:36,090 --> 00:26:39,240
just, just outstanding, and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, and she's

538
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,049
just this, this, I said, really?

539
00:26:41,339 --> 00:26:43,730
I said, you know, leadership
can come at any age.

540
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,870
You don't have to be 80 to be a leader 10
years old and and once she started talking

541
00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:53,149
I immediately understood I said, I get it.

542
00:26:53,150 --> 00:26:53,919
I get it.

543
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:55,759
I said, so have you thought about college?

544
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:57,900
She said, oh, yes I said, really?

545
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,390
What, what, what colleges
are you thinking about?

546
00:27:00,390 --> 00:27:02,910
She ran down a list of 10 years old.

547
00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:08,009
How many 10 years old do you know can
tell you what college they want to go to?

548
00:27:08,370 --> 00:27:09,010
Think about that.

549
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:10,730
I'll just leave that thought with you.

550
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,430
But anyway, my point
is, it's on the website.

551
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:17,445
Um, and just go, it's, it's what
we call an embeddable player.

552
00:27:17,685 --> 00:27:20,735
You can listen to it on the website,
just, just click the button, and

553
00:27:20,735 --> 00:27:22,214
it'll, it'll just go through it.

554
00:27:22,475 --> 00:27:25,754
Uh, you can, you can listen
to all the interviews, um, um,

555
00:27:25,774 --> 00:27:30,844
Pastor Rivas, uh, not Rivas, he's
coming up, but Pastor, um, Rivas.

556
00:27:32,145 --> 00:27:33,205
Thank you, Francis.

557
00:27:33,225 --> 00:27:34,025
That's what I was thinking about.

558
00:27:34,025 --> 00:27:40,004
Thank you, Pastor Francis, Pastor
Nickens, um, a number, Pastor Dockery,

559
00:27:40,785 --> 00:27:46,074
thank you, actually, the man, sir,
and his podcast is done in December.

560
00:27:46,705 --> 00:27:47,475
He was still there.

561
00:27:47,965 --> 00:27:48,485
Fascinating.

562
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:49,955
You really should listen to that.

563
00:27:49,955 --> 00:27:56,295
He talks about how the ministry, um, and
the military sort of shaped his life.

564
00:27:56,324 --> 00:27:59,655
Stuff I didn't know, but it's,
it was, it was outstanding, um,

565
00:27:59,685 --> 00:28:00,975
and just spotlighting leaders.

566
00:28:01,175 --> 00:28:02,875
Seneca, I would encourage you to do that.

567
00:28:03,065 --> 00:28:07,335
And finally, as we always like to say, be
the change you want to see in the world.
