00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,699
Coming up on this episode of the
Healthy, Wealthy and Wise podcast.

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,669
I'm going to encourage you
to read the book by Dr.

3
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:09,709
Anthony Fauci.

4
00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:10,709
I'm sure everybody knows who Dr.

5
00:00:10,929 --> 00:00:15,620
Fauci is, but he was the one who had
the courage to speak truth to power.

6
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:17,779
You know, people didn't want to hear him.

7
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:20,169
He's been in the field a long time.

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,060
I do think, um, yeah, I do
think he's over 80 years old.

9
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:28,009
I know there's a lot of talk
about these 80 year old people,

10
00:00:28,049 --> 00:00:30,039
but maybe we don't want to care.

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,909
Welcome

12
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:35,350
to the Healthy, Wealthy,
and Wise podcast with Dr.

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:35,949
William T.

14
00:00:35,949 --> 00:00:37,989
Choctaw, MD, JD.

15
00:00:37,989 --> 00:00:41,660
This podcast will provide you with
tools and actionable information

16
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:46,439
you can use to help live a more
healthy, wealthy, and wise life.

17
00:00:46,849 --> 00:00:50,930
It's powered by the over 50 years
of medical experience of this Yale

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,740
University Medical School trained
surgeon, who is also a Western

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,800
State Law School trained attorney.

20
00:00:57,765 --> 00:01:02,555
Executive experience being a former
mayor of Walnut, California, as well

21
00:01:02,575 --> 00:01:08,335
as the current chairman of the non
profit Servants Arms, and as president

22
00:01:08,435 --> 00:01:11,225
of Choctaw Medical Group Incorporated.

23
00:01:12,255 --> 00:01:17,064
This is the Leadership Masterclass
Edition, already in progress.

24
00:01:17,725 --> 00:01:18,025
Your

25
00:01:18,095 --> 00:01:19,305
specific goal.

26
00:01:19,565 --> 00:01:22,675
Uh, not to belabor the point, so one
of the things that Yale is doing,

27
00:01:22,675 --> 00:01:26,135
it's another organization too, but I
know about Yale because I get a lot of

28
00:01:26,135 --> 00:01:31,245
their literature, Uh, is that they're
saying, okay, if we're going to start

29
00:01:31,265 --> 00:01:36,425
investigating along COVID, we've got to
have a group that represents America.

30
00:01:36,505 --> 00:01:37,335
Make sense?

31
00:01:37,705 --> 00:01:40,575
Because we're, you know, everybody
gets it, you know, it's not for

32
00:01:40,795 --> 00:01:43,895
this group, or that group, or
that group, it's for everybody.

33
00:01:44,214 --> 00:01:49,725
And so what they're doing, and let me
back up, Participating in these tests,

34
00:01:50,074 --> 00:01:52,544
um, is very difficult for patients.

35
00:01:52,885 --> 00:01:53,675
It's very difficult.

36
00:01:53,795 --> 00:01:58,795
Imagine that you're in pain and you're
sick, but two or three or four times a

37
00:01:58,795 --> 00:02:05,205
week, you have to go into the hospital for
testing and examination and this and that.

38
00:02:05,455 --> 00:02:08,485
You know, imagine if you can
afford to do that financially.

39
00:02:08,815 --> 00:02:11,345
Uh, it's just on, it's
just very, very hard.

40
00:02:11,655 --> 00:02:15,874
And so you end up selectively
getting a small group that may

41
00:02:15,904 --> 00:02:18,385
be white Anglo Saxon fathers.

42
00:02:18,795 --> 00:02:20,544
Because they're the only
ones that have the time and

43
00:02:20,544 --> 00:02:22,234
availability to be able to do that.

44
00:02:22,495 --> 00:02:25,274
So what you always said, you know
what, that's not, that's not going

45
00:02:25,275 --> 00:02:26,755
to, we're going to go to them.

46
00:02:26,885 --> 00:02:30,984
We're, we're, we're going to set up
a, a, an evaluation of long COVID.

47
00:02:31,305 --> 00:02:34,545
But instead of having patients come
to us, which is the traditional way,

48
00:02:34,755 --> 00:02:35,955
we're going to go to their homes.

49
00:02:35,995 --> 00:02:37,649
Now you got to have
extra money to do that.

50
00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:40,850
They, they, they, the people
running the test, and so what

51
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:42,510
they did, you know, Joe has money.

52
00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:45,439
They, they took their money,
wherever they got it from,

53
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,710
and said, we're coming to you.

54
00:02:47,329 --> 00:02:50,360
And what does that mean is, that means
that you're going to get a more, you

55
00:02:50,369 --> 00:02:53,110
have a more diverse group now, right?

56
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:57,579
So now whatever you learn from
that diverse group, you can now

57
00:02:57,580 --> 00:03:02,060
apply it and it's going to be more
effective to people who look like me.

58
00:03:02,359 --> 00:03:02,570
Okay?

59
00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:03,969
Which is what you want.

60
00:03:04,119 --> 00:03:07,700
Because of those three hundred and seventy
something million people in this country,

61
00:03:07,999 --> 00:03:14,040
um, at least ten, fifteen percent of them
are African American, another fifteen plus

62
00:03:14,079 --> 00:03:19,149
percent are Hispanic, another blah blah
blah percent are Asian, I can go on and on

63
00:03:19,149 --> 00:03:20,799
and on and on, but you, you get my drift.

64
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:22,109
You get my drift, right?

65
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:27,145
So if you want to do something, To
treat a problem that affects the entire

66
00:03:27,145 --> 00:03:33,285
country, uh, which, which is, which is
multi ethnic, you've got to have a sample

67
00:03:33,294 --> 00:03:37,585
group that's also multi ethnic because
you want to have life to treat life.

68
00:03:37,685 --> 00:03:41,595
And so that, that's one of the things that
folks are doing and, and kudos to doctors.

69
00:03:42,065 --> 00:03:47,615
from Holtz and Iwasaki, um, and others
in the field who are sort of doing this.

70
00:03:47,865 --> 00:03:51,714
Um, um, and the other thing about
that trial where they go to the

71
00:03:51,725 --> 00:03:55,515
homes, not only do you have better
quality, you have better diversity,

72
00:03:55,824 --> 00:03:57,315
and so you can have a better outcome.

73
00:03:57,565 --> 00:04:00,864
But the problem is that
these things take a while.

74
00:04:01,504 --> 00:04:06,884
Now finally, I want to conclude,
uh, with, with a Ha ha!

75
00:04:07,445 --> 00:04:11,495
With a recommendation, if you want to
have a little light reading, you know,

76
00:04:11,555 --> 00:04:13,845
you've got a lot of time on your hands.

77
00:04:14,095 --> 00:04:18,215
I'm going to encourage you
to read the book by Dr.

78
00:04:18,215 --> 00:04:19,044
Anthony Fauci.

79
00:04:19,154 --> 00:04:20,305
I'm not sure if everybody knows who Dr.

80
00:04:20,305 --> 00:04:24,005
Fauci is, but he was the one who
had the courage to just speak

81
00:04:24,075 --> 00:04:27,305
truth to power, you know, you know,
people didn't want to hear him.

82
00:04:27,555 --> 00:04:29,715
Uh, he's been in the field a long time.

83
00:04:29,985 --> 00:04:34,595
Uh, I do think, um, yeah, I do
think he's over 80 years old.

84
00:04:34,595 --> 00:04:37,555
I know there's a lot of talk
about these 80 year old people,

85
00:04:37,564 --> 00:04:41,614
but maybe we don't want to kick
them to the curb quite so fast.

86
00:04:41,825 --> 00:04:42,295
Right?

87
00:04:42,305 --> 00:04:42,585
Right.

88
00:04:42,914 --> 00:04:44,785
Cause they, they do
have a lot of knowledge.

89
00:04:45,005 --> 00:04:50,114
And they do have a lot of skill, and they
learn a lot of stuff, and maybe we just,

90
00:04:50,145 --> 00:04:54,435
we, we, we, we younger folks just need to
step back a little bit and listen to them.

91
00:04:54,465 --> 00:04:56,174
But anyway, uh, Dr.

92
00:04:56,224 --> 00:05:02,844
Fauci, um, is, is an absolute icon
in the area of epidemiology, uh,

93
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:07,429
and certainly was on the forefront
with, um, uh, the coronavirus.

94
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:08,950
Um, and Dr.

95
00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:11,080
Fauci has a connection with the St.

96
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:18,549
Stephen's men's class, um, back
when, this is, um, January, uh, no,

97
00:05:18,559 --> 00:05:23,829
this is December 2022, uh, uh, well,
no, let me go back even farther.

98
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:27,420
They, they, they, the coronavirus,
I mean, the coronavirus came out,

99
00:05:27,690 --> 00:05:32,860
uh, around about the 1st of January
2020, uh, January 2020, right.

100
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,280
Um, and that's when there was all
this stuff going around and most of

101
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:41,920
us didn't know what was going on and
what to do, 2020, 2021, or whatever.

102
00:05:42,109 --> 00:05:46,959
And so in the Men's ThunderSpoon class,
uh, there were a lot of questions.

103
00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:50,729
You know, and we would spend a
lot of time, and our illustrious

104
00:05:50,729 --> 00:05:55,830
teacher, uh, Reverend Andrew Collins
and Reverend, uh, um, uh, Nickens.

105
00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:58,700
Uh, they would stop the class and
people would ask questions and

106
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:02,460
questions and questions, and there was
a lot of discussion about Tuskegee.

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,029
There was a lot of discussions about, um,
uh, Thorax and all that sort of stuff.

108
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:11,480
So Reverend Collins and Reverend
Nickens and the leaders of the class

109
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,540
decided to say, You know what, we're
going to set up a time every Sunday.

110
00:06:15,790 --> 00:06:20,360
at the end of the class, about five
minutes, and after we finish with

111
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,510
the Sunday school class, we're going
to let you ask questions of Dr.

112
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:23,610
Choptop.

113
00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:29,920
And so, uh, uh, Robert Nicklaus
came up with the idea of

114
00:06:30,179 --> 00:06:31,699
corporate, uh, what do you call it?

115
00:06:31,989 --> 00:06:33,380
COVID chat with Choptop.

116
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:41,175
And so, truly enough, every Sunday, They
did that, and every Sunday, and usually

117
00:06:41,185 --> 00:06:44,215
with more than five minutes, they would
say, well what about this, and what about

118
00:06:44,215 --> 00:06:47,735
that, and I read in the news this, and
I was on the internet, and blah blah

119
00:06:47,735 --> 00:06:50,604
blah, and I remember saying to a good
friend of mine, stay off the internet.

120
00:06:50,775 --> 00:06:52,325
So don't, don't go to the internet.

121
00:06:53,055 --> 00:06:53,984
It's not looking fancy.

122
00:06:54,860 --> 00:07:00,080
But my point is, it was an effective
way to get us all through that.

123
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:01,510
To get us all through that.

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,820
We all helped each other.

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,830
You know, they helped me, I helped them,
back and forth, whatever, whatever.

126
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,059
And so, that was connected with Fauci.

127
00:07:08,789 --> 00:07:10,530
You know, because he was the leader.

128
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:11,950
He was the one that I was following.

129
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:20,860
And then, around about December of
2022, I decided, I came up with the

130
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:22,870
idea, and I approached Robin Collins.

131
00:07:23,215 --> 00:07:27,525
About having this, the leadership
massacres, leadership massacres,

132
00:07:27,755 --> 00:07:29,385
came out of that specifically.

133
00:07:29,735 --> 00:07:33,855
And, uh, and I mention that, is
to say that if Reverend Carlson

134
00:07:33,915 --> 00:07:35,615
said no, we wouldn't be here.

135
00:07:37,214 --> 00:07:40,545
If he had said no, and nobody
would have ever known about it.

136
00:07:42,804 --> 00:07:48,115
This last year and a half would not
have happened, if he had not said yes.

137
00:07:48,945 --> 00:07:49,755
We're here, we're here.

138
00:07:51,885 --> 00:07:59,985
And so my point is that this was a long
journey, and I honestly believe that's

139
00:07:59,985 --> 00:08:01,525
the way good things in life happen.

140
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:02,925
They aren't planned.

141
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:06,210
You can't foresee down the road.

142
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,130
You don't have a clue, but you do what
you think is best and you work with

143
00:08:11,130 --> 00:08:15,280
somebody who works with somebody who works
with somebody who works with somebody

144
00:08:15,289 --> 00:08:18,250
and voila, here you are, here you are.

145
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:23,439
Um, and, um, and so to finish the
thing about the book, uh, this book

146
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:25,879
was given to me by my dear friend.

147
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:30,550
Uh, and the chief production
officer, uh, brother, I should say

148
00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:33,590
reverend, brother Jesse Hammond.

149
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:36,759
And he gave it to me
as a father's day gift.

150
00:08:37,010 --> 00:08:37,440
Huh?

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:37,930
Huh?

152
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:38,840
Isn't that cool?

153
00:08:39,619 --> 00:08:40,900
So thank you brother Hammond.

154
00:08:41,539 --> 00:08:46,250
Uh, and again, it just shows, uh,
the type of people, uh, in God's

155
00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:48,820
service, uh, serving God's people.

156
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,670
Okay.

157
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:52,900
This is, this is the, the, the real stuff.

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,510
Not what people talk about, what you do.

159
00:08:56,010 --> 00:08:58,530
You know, because I, I'm not
interested in what you talk about,

160
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:59,480
I'm interested in what you do.

161
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:00,770
What have you done?

162
00:09:01,170 --> 00:09:02,770
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

163
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:06,180
And we all do different things, and
that's the way it's supposed to be.

164
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:08,719
I'm not supposed to be him,
and he's not supposed to be me.

165
00:09:08,950 --> 00:09:11,969
Let me also say that when I had that
conversation with Robin Collins,

166
00:09:12,170 --> 00:09:15,619
not that I didn't trust Robin
Collins, I asked other people also.

167
00:09:15,909 --> 00:09:18,779
I thought, maybe Robin Collins
got some extra, extra mind.

168
00:09:18,899 --> 00:09:20,879
So I actually, I asked Robin Reeves.

169
00:09:21,539 --> 00:09:23,499
And Rutherford said, yeah, I
think it would be a good idea.

170
00:09:23,499 --> 00:09:25,300
And of course, I asked
Rutherford Nickens also.

171
00:09:25,810 --> 00:09:28,400
Um, but Colin, Rutherford
Collins was first.

172
00:09:28,579 --> 00:09:31,050
If he had said no, it
would have been done.

173
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,529
It would have been dead on arrival.

174
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,079
So thank you, Rutherford Collins.

175
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:41,130
Um, and thank you, St.

176
00:09:41,130 --> 00:09:41,439
Stephen's.

177
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:43,190
for all the help.

178
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:47,440
But, but please go out, obviously I
haven't finished the book, but if you want

179
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,240
a little light read, go out and read Dr.

180
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,900
Fauci's book.

181
00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:50,640
But Dr.

182
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,349
Fauci also has had a huge impact,
uh, with his, uh, his AIDS,

183
00:09:56,510 --> 00:09:58,430
uh, and he talks about that.

184
00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:01,439
This is during the Reagan administration,
I know some of you young people don't

185
00:10:01,439 --> 00:10:03,390
even know who Ronald Reagan was.

186
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:07,530
But for those of us in my generation.

187
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,610
He was a president and was doing
what was called the AIDS crisis.

188
00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:16,989
And people were saying all sorts of
things like it was God's punishment

189
00:10:16,989 --> 00:10:17,949
and all that sort of stuff.

190
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:20,819
And I said, no, it's not God's
punishment, it's a virus.

191
00:10:21,019 --> 00:10:22,670
Or it's just a whatever, whatever.

192
00:10:22,999 --> 00:10:24,809
Uh, and they came up
with a way to cure it.

193
00:10:25,009 --> 00:10:28,209
And now for the most part, there's
medication that people take.

194
00:10:28,820 --> 00:10:32,220
That pretty much keeps them
asymptomatic, uh, and you don't

195
00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:33,790
hear them talk about it anymore.

196
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,470
It's still there, but you don't
hear people talking about it

197
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:38,180
anymore, because it's much smaller.

198
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,730
And Fauci, uh, may have a
lot to do with that also.

199
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:47,844
In summary, real quick, um, um,
all vaccines, um, Uh, are treated

200
00:10:48,104 --> 00:10:53,525
with by prevention, um, and, and,
and, and being, being careful.

201
00:10:53,955 --> 00:10:57,294
Uh, vaccines cause, uh, uh,
the body to produce antibodies,

202
00:10:57,754 --> 00:10:59,945
uh, to, uh, fight infections.

203
00:11:00,105 --> 00:11:03,885
I mean, all infections
basically, uh, can be prevented.

204
00:11:04,345 --> 00:11:09,095
Um, uh, COVID infections can be
prevented by, uh, using vaccines.

205
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,950
Vaccines, um, cause the body to
produce antibodies to fight infection.

206
00:11:14,370 --> 00:11:17,060
Um, remember the virus is airborne.

207
00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:18,430
It is airborne.

208
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:19,820
It is in the air.

209
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,189
And so we want to take extra
precautions to protect against these

210
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,699
airborne infections like wearing
masks and doing other things, uh,

211
00:11:27,699 --> 00:11:29,449
to provide ventilation in your home.

212
00:11:29,849 --> 00:11:33,550
Uh, if you have central heating
and air, um, particularly put it

213
00:11:33,550 --> 00:11:37,480
on the on position instead of auto,
uh, particularly if people are

214
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,749
going to be coming to your house.

215
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:45,300
The patients who are 60 and 65 years
of age and above should have boosters

216
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:46,950
in addition to the vaccine shot.

217
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,790
The vaccine shot is just one injection.

218
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:54,340
The booster is an additional shot
that these individuals should have.

219
00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:58,954
My basic principles real quickly and
I say this All the time is that God

220
00:11:58,954 --> 00:12:03,255
is in charge, and indeed one of the
things that I've learned is that most,

221
00:12:03,375 --> 00:12:07,895
most if not many of the things that
have happened good in my life, I had

222
00:12:07,895 --> 00:12:09,295
no idea they were going to happen.

223
00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:15,125
I couldn't predict them, I didn't see
them coming, um, and, um, uh, and that

224
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:17,045
again is because God is in charge.

225
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:19,849
As I said before, I do not have bad days.

226
00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:22,719
I figured out many, many years
ago that my days were good or

227
00:12:22,719 --> 00:12:24,949
bad, uh, if I said they were.

228
00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:28,130
And so, I said, okay, done.

229
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,139
You're over.

230
00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:29,830
You're gone.

231
00:12:30,319 --> 00:12:35,420
Uh, and so, um, uh, my, my days are
very, very blunt, very, very blunt.

232
00:12:35,865 --> 00:12:38,655
So, you know, it's,
uh, again, God is good.

233
00:12:38,945 --> 00:12:41,785
I don't sweat the small stuff,
and most stuff is small.

234
00:12:41,875 --> 00:12:45,985
Um, if stuff happens, there's still things
where somebody will say something, or

235
00:12:45,985 --> 00:12:50,525
I'll observe something, it may rub me
the wrong way, you know, but what I've

236
00:12:50,525 --> 00:12:54,874
learned is most times that's just small
stuff, and doesn't mean anything, and

237
00:12:54,895 --> 00:12:56,655
it's not important, and just let it go.

238
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,260
I'm thinking if you don't
understand it, just let it go,

239
00:12:59,930 --> 00:13:00,920
because it's not important.

240
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:05,550
Forgiveness is therapy,
therapy, therapy, therapy.

241
00:13:05,570 --> 00:13:06,830
Be your own doctor.

242
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Somebody does or says something to
you that they should not have done

243
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,489
or said from your perspective, okay?

244
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,699
Forgive them.

245
00:13:16,139 --> 00:13:16,979
Just do it.

246
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,960
Don't try to figure it out, don't
look at the facts, don't research it.

247
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:22,580
Just say, I forgive you.

248
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:23,765
God bless you.

249
00:13:23,765 --> 00:13:24,495
Move on.

250
00:13:24,725 --> 00:13:25,315
Move on.

251
00:13:25,575 --> 00:13:27,725
And finally, everything is a relationship.

252
00:13:27,925 --> 00:13:29,805
Everything is a relationship.

253
00:13:30,135 --> 00:13:32,065
Relationships are based on three things.

254
00:13:32,065 --> 00:13:35,035
Mutual respect, mutual
trust, good communication.

255
00:13:35,355 --> 00:13:38,405
If you have those three things,
then you have a good relationship.

256
00:13:38,664 --> 00:13:41,435
If you do not, You have work to do.

257
00:13:41,585 --> 00:13:45,425
Um, I have learned that many
times the most difficult thing

258
00:13:45,435 --> 00:13:47,015
about that is the communication.

259
00:13:47,195 --> 00:13:50,565
People say, well, um, so
and so knows what I think.

260
00:13:50,915 --> 00:13:53,144
I'll just wait for her to tell me.

261
00:13:53,325 --> 00:13:54,894
People can't read your mind.

262
00:13:55,155 --> 00:13:56,745
How do they know what you think?

263
00:13:58,435 --> 00:13:59,574
He knows I love him.

264
00:13:59,845 --> 00:14:01,645
Or, you know, my kids know I love them.

265
00:14:01,950 --> 00:14:03,690
You know, I don't have
to tell 'em all the time.

266
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:04,470
Yeah, you do.

267
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:08,520
Yeah, you do . You have
to tell 'em all the time.

268
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:09,420
Okay.

269
00:14:09,870 --> 00:14:11,970
Uh, you know, it, it
doesn't, it doesn't hurt you.

270
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:18,140
And, and who knows, maybe on that
particular day, hearing, hearing somebody

271
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:24,080
say I love you may very well help them,
that person on that particular day.

272
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:26,450
'cause you have no idea of
what people are going through.

273
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,350
'cause they're not gonna tell you.

274
00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:30,990
So just keep that in mind.

275
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,890
And again, remember going back to the
belief, life is about being of service.

276
00:14:36,835 --> 00:14:37,405
to others.

277
00:14:37,595 --> 00:14:41,425
And maybe one way you can serve
somebody is just saying, good morning.

278
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:42,185
Good morning.

279
00:14:42,365 --> 00:14:43,485
Have a great day.

280
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,324
You look nice today or whatever.

281
00:14:45,324 --> 00:14:46,934
I, you know, but something positive.

282
00:14:47,295 --> 00:14:51,385
Um, you will have, you have
no idea what that can do.

283
00:14:51,614 --> 00:14:57,025
I remember I was in a class one day about,
um, suicide and the instructor gave the

284
00:14:57,225 --> 00:14:59,405
example and I may have used it before.

285
00:14:59,485 --> 00:15:03,315
So that was this patient who said,
I'm going to walk to the bridge and

286
00:15:03,315 --> 00:15:05,735
I'm going to jump off and kill myself.

287
00:15:06,359 --> 00:15:11,579
But if somebody speaks to me on the way
to the bridge, I won't do it, right?

288
00:15:12,050 --> 00:15:14,320
Person went and jumped off
the bridge and killed himself.

289
00:15:14,379 --> 00:15:15,143
What's my point?

290
00:15:15,143 --> 00:15:18,090
My point is you don't know
what people are going through.

291
00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:22,959
It's no skin off your nose, but be
nice, be supportive, be forgiving.

292
00:15:23,285 --> 00:15:27,345
Be loving, be caring, uh, and
you, and, and, and you will

293
00:15:27,345 --> 00:15:28,765
never know the benefit of that.

294
00:15:28,765 --> 00:15:29,745
You're not supposed to know.

295
00:15:30,025 --> 00:15:31,005
It's not about you.

296
00:15:32,574 --> 00:15:33,415
It's about them.

297
00:15:33,645 --> 00:15:35,095
So what am I asking you to do?

298
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:37,745
I'm asking you to give
unconditionally, right?

299
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:38,365
Just give it.

300
00:15:38,555 --> 00:15:38,984
Just give it.

301
00:15:38,995 --> 00:15:39,494
Just give it.

302
00:15:39,515 --> 00:15:39,964
Just give it.

303
00:15:39,964 --> 00:15:43,045
Don't think about who's going
to come back and all that stuff.

304
00:15:43,045 --> 00:15:43,565
Doesn't matter.

305
00:15:43,655 --> 00:15:44,205
Doesn't matter.

306
00:15:44,415 --> 00:15:45,515
You just do your part.

307
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:49,540
So, for some of you who may miss
some of these, uh, masterclass, every

308
00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:51,790
masterclass ends up being a podcast.

309
00:15:52,130 --> 00:15:55,679
And most of the times in masterclass,
um, uh, Brother Hammond is the

310
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,329
chief production officer, uh, chief
technical officer, uh, Jesse has so

311
00:15:59,329 --> 00:16:05,129
many different titles, the podcast, the
podcast professor, you know, whatever

312
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:06,954
title you can think of, Jesse has it.

313
00:16:08,754 --> 00:16:10,675
But that's because he's a busy guy.

314
00:16:11,134 --> 00:16:12,134
He's a busy guy.

315
00:16:12,145 --> 00:16:13,504
Seriously, he is.

316
00:16:14,925 --> 00:16:21,444
But, but, but basically, at the end
of every Mass Effect, he edits it,

317
00:16:21,494 --> 00:16:25,369
edits them, and it comes up with
two or three podcasts from them.

318
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:29,750
Uh, and what we learned when we first
started the podcast, uh, uh, with Reverend

319
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:34,559
Collins about a year ago, we used to do
them for an hour plus, and then, then we

320
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,370
started to read the literature, at least
I started to read the literature, that

321
00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:39,769
said, you know, most podcast for an hour.

322
00:16:40,609 --> 00:16:44,589
Maybe 20 minutes, maybe 30
minutes in their car, or

323
00:16:44,599 --> 00:16:45,679
while they're running around.

324
00:16:45,929 --> 00:16:49,420
So then Jess and I started
cutting down most of the podcasts.

325
00:16:49,735 --> 00:16:51,285
About 20 to 30 minutes.

326
00:16:51,595 --> 00:16:55,785
Um, so what he does at the
end of each masterclass, he

327
00:16:55,785 --> 00:16:57,725
creates a podcast from them.

328
00:16:58,074 --> 00:16:59,425
Uh, 20 to 30 minutes.

329
00:16:59,555 --> 00:17:04,165
Uh, and my point is, that all podcasts
now are on the church website.

330
00:17:04,335 --> 00:17:05,645
stsvc.

331
00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:11,265
org Go to the church website, uh, click
on ministry at the top of the page,

332
00:17:11,775 --> 00:17:16,815
scroll down all the way until you see
this logo, and click on the logo, uh,

333
00:17:16,815 --> 00:17:18,535
and then you will see the podcast.

334
00:17:18,535 --> 00:17:21,075
It's in what's called,
uh, an embedded player.

335
00:17:21,295 --> 00:17:25,084
Now I didn't know what an embedded
player was until Jesse taught me, okay,

336
00:17:25,265 --> 00:17:28,255
so I'm using all these big words like
I know what I'm talking about, but

337
00:17:30,895 --> 00:17:33,199
in the audience with Jesse
taught me all this stuff.

338
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:39,940
But, but, but the church has put one of
our embeddable players on its website

339
00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:45,610
and so not only can you see, and this
lecture will probably be out next week

340
00:17:45,610 --> 00:17:47,420
or so, usually about 7 to 10 days.

341
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Uh, you can go back and look at all stuff.

342
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Also, um, um, um, Pastor Davis
has done a number of interviews

343
00:17:55,810 --> 00:17:57,340
with us for the podcast.

344
00:17:57,350 --> 00:18:00,409
You can go back and look at his,
at his, uh, uh, his podcast.

345
00:18:01,019 --> 00:18:03,659
Pastor Dockery has done a podcast with us.

346
00:18:03,790 --> 00:18:05,649
You can go back and look at his podcast.

347
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:07,240
Uh, Lorena has done one.

348
00:18:08,314 --> 00:18:11,134
website, www.

349
00:18:11,134 --> 00:18:13,444
thwwp.

350
00:18:13,445 --> 00:18:14,735
com and just click on it.

351
00:18:15,104 --> 00:18:19,824
Um, and you can put up on your, on
your, uh, favorite search engine.

352
00:18:20,054 --> 00:18:22,804
But my point is, these, these
talks are available to you.

353
00:18:22,985 --> 00:18:25,675
Now sometimes I have people
coming up to me and said, Oh, Dr.

354
00:18:25,675 --> 00:18:27,195
Sarkozy, are you going to
do it again, or whatever?

355
00:18:27,355 --> 00:18:28,625
It's already online.

356
00:18:28,665 --> 00:18:29,615
It's already there.

357
00:18:29,985 --> 00:18:33,875
Uh, and the church provides it
directly, uh, directly for you.

358
00:18:35,754 --> 00:18:39,925
In conclusion, be the change
you want to see in the world.

359
00:18:39,925 --> 00:18:42,755
Pastor Rivas, could you close
us with a word of prayer?

360
00:18:42,755 --> 00:18:43,091
God,

361
00:18:43,091 --> 00:18:45,034
I want to for this day.

362
00:18:45,414 --> 00:18:50,705
You understand, oh God, that this day was
made for us, and not us with this day.

363
00:18:51,685 --> 00:18:56,905
Therefore, we take charge of God and we
bring it and give you, giving it to you

364
00:18:56,945 --> 00:19:02,565
as an offering so that you know, Lord
God, what to do and to give us the wisdom

365
00:19:02,705 --> 00:19:08,874
to be and to take of it the best it can
be for your honor and for your glory.

366
00:19:09,495 --> 00:19:12,984
I thank you for this opportunity
and for giving us that this

367
00:19:13,024 --> 00:19:15,725
privilege, Lord God, to have Dr.

Uh, sharing with us, uh, his knowledge.

370
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:26,460
Allow us to be, uh, resemblance
of all that teaching of

371
00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:28,169
our God to whatever we are.

372
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,880
That just as the virus spreads
around, Lord, that our grace, our

373
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,619
service can spread around too.

374
00:19:36,259 --> 00:19:40,850
For your honor for your glory
and to manifest the love

375
00:19:40,850 --> 00:19:42,729
that you have for humanity.

376

blessings and for your son Jesus.
