He's got answers.
17
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:01,859
He's got answers.
18
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:02,769
So let's get started.
19
00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:03,990
Here's Dr.
20
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:04,570
William T.
21
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:07,240
Choctaw, MD,
22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,190
JD, who knows who you're a child.
23
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:12,380
You may never see them or meet them,
but they've said, you know, I listened
24
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:15,360
to this podcast and it's very nice
couple, couple, and they were talking
25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,230
about, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
26
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:17,200
Why don't we try that?
27
00:01:17,399 --> 00:01:23,060
You never know how God uses us, how
God uses us to help other people.
28
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:24,630
Cause that, that's really
what it's all about.
29
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:25,330
That's
30
00:01:25,340 --> 00:01:26,149
our career
31
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:29,010
to be able to help somebody.
32
00:01:29,365 --> 00:01:34,295
To, to be able to give
encouragement and, and let them
33
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:37,105
know, look, the Lord can help you.
34
00:01:37,214 --> 00:01:38,084
He's help.
35
00:01:38,084 --> 00:01:39,435
He's helping.
36
00:01:39,435 --> 00:01:42,824
Exactly.
37
00:01:42,825 --> 00:01:43,085
It's a process.
38
00:01:43,085 --> 00:01:43,905
That's right.
39
00:01:44,135 --> 00:01:44,755
You too.
40
00:01:45,025 --> 00:01:45,464
Yes.
41
00:01:45,464 --> 00:01:45,614
Yes.
42
00:01:45,895 --> 00:01:46,075
Just
43
00:01:46,104 --> 00:01:47,694
trust, just trust in him.
44
00:01:48,024 --> 00:01:49,514
Just, just trust.
45
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:51,610
What he's trying to do.
46
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:57,380
Um, have faith, have faith in your
partner that you guys can do this
47
00:01:57,380 --> 00:01:59,810
together with the Lord's help.
48
00:02:00,210 --> 00:02:03,940
Have the Lord in the
midst of your marriage.
49
00:02:04,019 --> 00:02:06,489
It is amazing.
50
00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:13,109
We cannot imagine our marriage without
having that relationship with the Lord.
51
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:16,029
We feel so blessed.
52
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:17,389
So blessed.
53
00:02:17,389 --> 00:02:18,519
I'm getting choked up.
54
00:02:20,374 --> 00:02:21,964
It's so wonderful.
55
00:02:22,415 --> 00:02:28,484
And I'm just so thankful
that the Lord is using us
56
00:02:28,784 --> 00:02:28,864
the
57
00:02:29,504 --> 00:02:31,964
way that he wants to use us.
58
00:02:32,064 --> 00:02:33,314
And that's my prayer.
59
00:02:34,564 --> 00:02:36,064
Use us.
60
00:02:36,094 --> 00:02:37,725
Use me and my husband.
61
00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:44,395
Help us to help somebody that that
needs animal and I'm so thankful
62
00:02:44,425 --> 00:02:46,615
that he's using us is such a blessing
63
00:02:47,105 --> 00:02:50,425
Well, you you you're
there now you're there now
64
00:02:52,904 --> 00:02:59,030
Yes, go ahead I would add to that
to encourage men to help other men.
65
00:02:59,620 --> 00:02:59,980
Yes.
66
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:04,040
Because a lot of times a woman will have
other women that they will go to, right?
67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,760
That is true.
68
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:07,200
It's very easy for women to do that.
69
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,730
It's hard.
70
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:08,200
That's true.
71
00:03:09,610 --> 00:03:15,020
I encourage men to be more transparent
as they can be with other men, as
72
00:03:15,109 --> 00:03:20,610
encouraging as they can be with other
men, because for me, because those men
73
00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:25,755
in church and out of church have poured
into my life, It's made it easier and
74
00:03:25,755 --> 00:03:30,265
made it a desire for me to want to
reciprocate that and, and do the same.
75
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:34,055
And I, and I, I wish, and again,
to, to, to the point where my wife
76
00:03:34,055 --> 00:03:38,224
said earlier, where a lot of younger
couples don't feel that safety
77
00:03:38,225 --> 00:03:41,325
net, yes, you gotta be safe, right?
78
00:03:41,864 --> 00:03:47,144
So I just encourage men especially to
create that safety net and that openness
79
00:03:47,154 --> 00:03:52,495
that younger men and men of the same
age can, can come to them and say, Hey.
80
00:03:52,855 --> 00:03:56,815
You know, what's your, you know, what's
your feedback on this situation or I'm
81
00:03:56,815 --> 00:03:58,395
going through this or, you know, whatever.
82
00:03:58,785 --> 00:03:59,645
You're so right.
83
00:03:59,645 --> 00:04:02,275
And, and that's, that's
that Mars Venus thing.
84
00:04:02,585 --> 00:04:06,275
And I can tell you, uh, there's
a reason why women live longer.
85
00:04:06,275 --> 00:04:12,185
There's a reason why women's suicide rate
is lower than men because men don't talk
86
00:04:12,215 --> 00:04:16,315
men, men, for whatever reason, maybe a
hundred reasons, but we're not as open.
87
00:04:16,315 --> 00:04:17,845
We're I, I use it.
88
00:04:17,855 --> 00:04:22,525
We're not as emotionally mature in my
judgment as women are because women will.
89
00:04:22,575 --> 00:04:26,505
Call a girlfriend or whatever,
whatever, and just by, by
90
00:04:26,505 --> 00:04:29,205
ventilating many times, get therapy.
91
00:04:29,205 --> 00:04:30,705
Just, just, just by ventilating.
92
00:04:30,945 --> 00:04:34,005
We, we men won't, uh,
for, for whatever reason.
93
00:04:34,245 --> 00:04:37,034
Uh, and, and we need the
help as much as anybody else.
94
00:04:37,034 --> 00:04:41,055
And so, you're right, you're spot on,
uh, right with that, uh, that there
95
00:04:41,055 --> 00:04:46,094
is a difference and, and that, um,
men are gonna be harder to reach.
96
00:04:46,590 --> 00:04:47,580
That's just the fact.
97
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:49,849
We're going to be harder, but that's okay.
98
00:04:50,109 --> 00:04:54,450
Um, it doesn't mean that we don't try
even harder and, and it is doable.
99
00:04:54,499 --> 00:04:55,669
It is definitely doable.
100
00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:57,240
It's definitely doable.
101
00:04:57,810 --> 00:04:59,400
Shout out to our men's class.
102
00:04:59,995 --> 00:05:04,265
And at church because a lot of
times I tell people all the time
103
00:05:04,275 --> 00:05:07,534
for me, especially when I was
younger, it helped me a lot.
104
00:05:07,534 --> 00:05:12,594
Just knowing that other men through
those same situation because a lot
105
00:05:12,594 --> 00:05:17,654
of times I thought I was the only one
only happening to me and just, even
106
00:05:17,654 --> 00:05:22,195
if I didn't get advice, just hearing
that another man that I'm seeing
107
00:05:22,385 --> 00:05:27,344
in my eyes is still like brothers,
families to say staying in the boat.
108
00:05:27,344 --> 00:05:27,515
Yeah.
109
00:05:27,515 --> 00:05:27,529
Yeah.
110
00:05:27,739 --> 00:05:28,190
Mm hmm.
111
00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:28,630
Mm hmm.
112
00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:28,820
Mm
113
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:28,840
hmm.
114
00:05:28,849 --> 00:05:31,479
That gave me and her, like, okay,
well, if he's doing it, I can do it.
115
00:05:31,885 --> 00:05:32,095
Yeah.
116
00:05:32,775 --> 00:05:33,995
Iron sharp as iron.
117
00:05:33,995 --> 00:05:34,775
Iron sharp as iron.
118
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:36,775
That's right.
119
00:05:36,985 --> 00:05:39,365
Hey Gary, what was, what's
the name of your church?
120
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:40,984
St.
121
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:43,485
Stephen's Missionary Baptist Church.
122
00:05:43,775 --> 00:05:44,425
Oh, okay.
123
00:05:45,565 --> 00:05:46,885
You had mentioned the men's class.
124
00:05:46,885 --> 00:05:48,505
I was wondering which one that was.
125
00:05:49,404 --> 00:05:51,124
That's why I dressed up as the big fella.
126
00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:57,770
He's on top of it, he's always,
he's always on top of it.
