  1. You're listening to a message to go from axt church.

  2. We hope this message will light up your day.

  3. The last three days, you know, breakfast, I would hear

  4. people coming and say, hi, Buster, how are you right?

  5. And then as they as they as they go around,

  6. they would say, so you went to the gyma.

  7. You went to the gym. So I I went to

  8. the gym. Okay, so I smiler.

  9. I go like wow, okay, and you know, it feels

  10. good that it feels good that I went to the gym.

  11. It feels good.

  12. That's that's and I wish I could have seen it

  13. as well, because I think I think I would have

  14. felt good as well. But I blame my foot being

  15. in recovery that I'm not at the gym. It feels good,

  16. and it also felt like everyone is doing it.

  17. Okay, I'm going.

  18. To make it like this is this it's not heavy?

  19. It's not I think it's going to be heavy. No, No,

  20. is this like it's light? Because I'm going like, yeah,

  21. maybe I should go and uh maybe so so maybe

  22. I should do it. Maybe I should do it, you know, right.

  23. Uh why why? Why? Why do I want to do it?

  24. So so that tomorrow morning I can see I've done it,

  25. you know, you know, you know.

  26. Yeah, I could say I've done it, and how would

  27. I do it? So then I came out with a

  28. little bit of a chicky uh you know solution. Then

  29. I'll just go. I'll just go. I opened the glass door.

  30. Hello, everybody, take a sip of water, fellowship a little

  31. bit five minutes, and then go back to my room,

  32. have a good sleep, just so that I can answer

  33. to people the next morning past that you went to

  34. the gym.

  35. I went to the gym, and I did lie. I

  36. didn't lie. I didn't lie. I went to the gym,

  37. you know why.

  38. And I see, I'll have the bars, I'll have a

  39. good feeling and all staff. But I know myself, my

  40. own heart, what I did and what I didn't do.

  41. Because everybody's going and it feels good to say I went,

  42. and maybe I think the back seat and that's why

  43. there's noise at the back seat because a lot of

  44. uninterested people have come. But I'm not really interested in

  45. what's going on because we don't ask deeper questions because

  46. when I say you went to the gym, yes, I

  47. don't say what did you do? I didn't say what

  48. machine you use. I didn't I didn't. I didn't ask

  49. you how long. I didn't ask you how you did

  50. you sweat? Did you lose weight? How many calories burn?

  51. We don't ask people what was your takeaway from the conference?

  52. What did you learn? Did you sweat and the conviction

  53. of the Holy Spirit?

  54. Sweat?

  55. And did you did you did you look in the

  56. mirror and did you see change? Because you yourself know when

  57. nobody challenges you that actually you didn't do much. But

  58. neither the people ask much. So I don't have to

  59. answer much. But there could be a lot of uninterested

  60. people signing up. Every Sunday we say sign up, sign up, right,

  61. so everybody is signing up anyway.

  62. Nobody's gonna check on me anyway. I didn't pay anyway,

  63. you know what I say.

  64. So I'm going to just give us a kind of

  65. future direction if I can, and you guys will probably

  66. do it better in.

  67. Detailer, We've got to ask further. We've got to ask deeper.

  68. Because when you start asking deeper questions, then now they

  69. take the signing up differently.

  70. You with me, So I have three quick thoughts.

  71. Why people are talking at the back, Because I heard

  72. it yes, say say it right, because simply they're not

  73. interested in what is going on at the front. They

  74. are talking at the bag because they're not really interested

  75. in what's going on at the front. And why three

  76. three thoughts it doesn't bother.

  77. Me, It doesn't benefit me.

  78. First of all, Okay, whatever you're talking at the front

  79. now doesn't bother me, right, or doesn't benefit me?

  80. Okay?

  81. All number two, I heard it before, right, All number three,

  82. I'm interested in something else. I'm interested in talking to

  83. my friend who I've not seen for years. I'm interested

  84. in looking at my kids because you know, I'm taking

  85. care of them here. Basically, I'm interested in something else now.

  86. So the bottom line is that we do stuff like

  87. that because we have lack of interest. So how to

  88. build the interest is to go deeper, go further. I'm

  89. not saying that this is the only answer, but it

  90. was that because if I just answered you, yeah, I

  91. went to the gym right and thought I'll get away

  92. with it, and you asked me by which machine do

  93. you use her? And then gonna laugh and go like no,

  94. just kidding right now, right right up and probably and

  95. probably never see you again. Yeah, So I just say

  96. I used to answer, so then you have to go

  97. deep again. Right, so I actually used the water this

  98. ensive machine or right then your your love with bit.

  99. I said, okay, so did you what else you use?

  100. Did you swear? You know? Yeah?

  101. You know this is you know, I mean, you don't

  102. have to be one hundred questions or no, just enough

  103. because enough you know and and yeah, I mean you

  104. get me. You know this is not you know, it's

  105. it's light. But then you go like, oh, yeah, you

  106. know it's it's it's real.

  107. And yeah. So so I don't know, this doesn't bother

  108. benefit me. You know. Is there something we can do

  109. about it? I'm not sure. Hurry before.

  110. Is there something we can know because past I've not

  111. talked about all right, then let's not just regurgitate information.

  112. Maybe the first time you heard it, you got it

  113. the citing. The next time you hear it, you're gonna

  114. do round table paper whatever. You know, So hurry before.

  115. But I have now to have to put some practical

  116. into it.

  117. I don't know. But anyway, thank you for the time.

  118. I just wanted to share those few things with us.
