Someone Stole His Battery. The Friend Who Showed Up Changed His Life

Hey guys, welcome to this week's Midweek Motivation.

Thank you so much if you've been following along through this five-part series.

If you haven't been following along, what we have covered over the last five weeks is we might feel like a unique but not so unique way to engage with people, really develop and build relationships with them, and come to a place where we have earned the right and have the responsibility to share our story.

It's evangelism, the way that Jesus um led us to share the good news.

And so we are here at the final place, but let's recap real quick.

The uh bless is the acronym.

The first way that we can um really sort of develop relationship with people is to begin with prayer.

So asking God for opportunity, asking God for um open doors, and uh and that he would just walk with you through this process, right?

Um, so that's B, begin with prayer, L listen, learning how to be intentional with her, listening and understanding and getting to know people.

So that's B-L Eat.

That's hanging out with people, that's getting to know people, spending time with them, sharing coffee or food.

It's one of my favorite ways to engage with people.

There's something about being around a table and um hanging out over food that is really special.

So B L E S.

The first S is serve.

And so we talked about um how Jesus took off his crown, he laid it down and he picked up an apron and served, and how we can do that as well, and how we should do that as well.

And finally, we're on we're at share.

So 1 Peter 3, 15 tells us that instead we must worship Christ as Lord of our life.

So Christ should be the one who leads our um our engagement.

Christ should be the one who determines how we engage with others.

Says, um, instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life.

And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

And so what we're gonna do is we're going to jump into a video of a conversation that I had with our friend Tony G.

And he's gonna share a little bit about how he engages with people.

He's gonna share a little bit about his own story.

I get a chance to share a little bit a little bit about mine, and he's gonna share how he engages with people in his own life.

And what I want you to do is look for these three things.

And the way that we share our story, it's really a simple process.

Um, it can break down into three parts.

One, what our life was like before Jesus, two, what our encounter with Jesus looks like, what he did.

And then three, what her life looks like after Jesus.

Listen for those in this um story um in this uh storytelling uh engagement that I have with Tony, and then think through that for yourself.

And then my challenge would be to pray for an opportunity for you to share your own story.

Watch this.

Welcome to the Midweek Motivation Podcast, where we bring practical help for your faith in life.

Here's today's episode.

Hey guys, uh, welcome to this week's Midweek Motivation.

My name is Jess, and I've got my friend Tony here.

And uh Hello everybody.

Yeah, Tony's been with us a couple of times, and he um what is your official thing that you do for um weekend services?

It's like stage production.

Oh, geez, Barker's gonna kill me if I don't get this right.

I'm a stage director for now Saturday.

I moved from doing all the services on Sunday to Saturday.

I just felt with that us wanting to do a Saturday service, that was I was called to do that.

Yeah, yeah.

And you do an awesome, excellent job at it too.

Yeah.

I enjoy Saturday.

Saturday is it's just own thing.

I just love it.

Yeah.

It's uh it's uh maybe, maybe I'm projecting this, but I see in you like it's a missional type thing, and that's what you love, like to be on the cutting edge in the new thing, it like exciting, all that.

Yeah, I I like to see something from beginning to success.

Yeah.

You know, not necessarily to the end, but yeah.

And I who would have thought that Saturday was gonna be this the way it is all you know within five months.

Just doesn't I didn't think that.

Five months.

Oh my gosh, no kidding, huh?

Yeah, I think it's five months.

I can't believe that.

That's awesome.

Yeah, somebody came a couple weeks ago and I was saying that yeah, it was when we were doing four months, and I go, yeah, he goes, Four months?

Didn't you've only been doing this for like a couple weeks, haven't you?

I know, right?

Yeah.

No, we've been doing it since the end of last year.

Yeah, and at the same time, it feels like we've always had a Saturday service, so that's cool.

Yeah, it's really it's great.

So if you don't if you can't come on a Sunday, you work or your schedule's not right.

Saturday's for you.

It's early in the afternoon, so you can still go out and have dinner, go to a movie, go to a blazer game.

Yeah.

Go home, whatever you want.

Yeah, good stuff.

It's it's it's a perfect time for people.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, we weren't, we didn't uh that was just a whim, so uh a commercial for Saturday.

Yes.

Um, but we're in the middle of Holy Week.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so um it's a special time for you, especially if you're a believer, I think.

And and uh um, you know, I I don't have any like particular things from myself from like growing up or anything like that, because we didn't really participate in church a lot when I was younger.

But how about you when you think Holy Week, what does that bring to mind?

What well I grew up early on grade school age in Southeast Portland, right by uh Catholic grade school.

So a lot of my friends were Catholic.

And I was a I remember being a little jealous that during Holy Week they had some there's some saint thing every day or there's some feast celebration every day for Holy Week, Ash Wednesday, and all that.

And we were at the time Lutherans, which we didn't do anything.

Yeah.

So we just go to church on Sunday, there's Easter Yeah, Easter morning service and Easter evening service, and that was it.

Um But years later, when um I had decided to follow Jesus and realized that Holy Week to me personally, and I think for a lot of Christians, is the most important event of Jesus' life and the fulfillment of God wanting to have a deep relationship with us and how that starts, and it starts with Jesus' resurrection.

Yeah.

So that's what I think of is this is the fulfillment not only of the Old Testament um prophecies about the Messiah, but for us as Christians uh in the Old Testament and even up through Jesus' time, because they weren't Christians till later, right?

They didn't they didn't pull out their King James Bible on Easter and read it.

So um, you know, we were not we were just not Christians.

You're either you're you're either Israelis, Jewish, or you weren't.

Right.

So Yeah.

Wow, I'm like as you say that it makes me think back um to like the gospels and there's this moment in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Um if I don't know how familiar maybe our audience is about about this, but there's a moment when Jesus knows that he is headed toward Jerusalem and he goes with his disciples to pray and is under so much stress that he's like sweating blood and he prays that prayer and says, you know, Lord, if if you're willing, take this cup from me, but if not, like I'm gonna be obedient, essentially.

I'm I'm paraphrasing that's not exact scripture, but you know, and then he does but he makes that decision, it seems like, to go at that point in time.

Not that he wasn't going to, but you know what I mean?

Like Well it's the demonstration of that he's human like us that he felt he he felt the anxiety, the stress, the pain, the f the physical manifestations of stress in your life.

Yeah.

Like we all do.

Yeah.

So I mean I think that's part of him saying, I'm one of you, yeah, and I'm coming back for you.

Yeah.

So and then he goes.

And and so that's kind of like what what you're talking about, it seems like.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean you you we can get bogged down in the prophecies, fulfillment of the prophecy, and you can interpret all that.

And it it's never ending, right?

That that um dialogue of For sure.

Did he really fulfill this?

Was is it really prophesied that Mary was he was gonna be from a virgin birth and all that?

I mean none of that is really as important as he was obedient.

He f he went to the city, he had told his disciples and all of his followers, you have me for a little while.

Yeah, when I'm leaving and I don't think any of them believed it.

And I don't think well, we know that many of them didn't believe it until he showed himself after his resurrection.

Yeah.

So you know, Thomas had to had to touch his wounds and and I think he probably was like, Oh, geez, okay, I get it now.

Yeah.

Wow, that's it's just incredible.

After like, I'm pausing for a second because it's incredible to think through that process of of what Jesus did and what like how he led his his um disciples through that process as well and what they all went through.

But like I've always it Holy Week has always felt heavy to me, just because like he starts out the week by entering into the city of Jerusalem with everybody celebrating and then the end of it is I mean, well, the end of it is his resurrection, but you know, the everybody feels so heavy and defeated.

At least I get that sense when I'm reading at the cross.

Yeah, I I I often wonder, you know, when he entered the city, um he wasn't on a triumphant, you know, he wasn't on, you know, the king's horses.

Yep.

He just came in on a donkey.

Um when during that process did his followers go, oh my goodness, he they really are going to kill him.

Yeah.

There's there's war when was that point of no return?

Which stations of the cross that we go to now was it?

You know.

Um my gosh.

And how and how dark all that got when they do when they did put him on the cross and nailing him up and how brutalized, how brutalized he was by then.

Um and it's hard to it's a juxtaposition of right, here's the the man of sorrows, extreme grief.

But then when he reveals himself to people afterwards, um they were like, He is alive.

No, he's not.

Yes, he is.

You know, go tell the disciples, I just saw him.

They didn't even recognize him when he knocked on somebody's door at one point, right?

Yeah.

And when he was walking when he was walking with two people on the pathway, yeah, his resurrection body was different enough that they didn't recognize him.

They said, Didn't you hear?

Yeah.

Well, wasn't it like Mary even the mist mistook him for the gardener to at the tomb, right?

Yeah.

Because they're like, no way.

Like it's not possible.

Um it's not even a consideration, right?

Wow.

Crazy.

Yeah, and those those are uh those are just events that happened.

We have good records of that.

We have all the testimony inner inner circle people and uh people that weren't part of that later on attesting tool, yeah, this did happen.

Yeah, I know people who saw this.

Actual account, yeah.

Yeah, that's super cool.

So you may you talked about the donkey thing, and I learned something new this year when studying this, and even just from the Sunday, that that like you said, there wasn't a like he didn't come riding on a this grandiose like king's horse with all of that pomp and circumstance, right?

He came on a donkey.

He could have though.

Yeah, he could have.

He could have, he just he didn't.

Yeah.

He came on a donkey.

Right.

And and there's actual symbolism behind that donkey from that time frame too, right?

It's it's that he was um it it was peace and what's the other piece of it I forget now.

Peace and you can look it up.

The donkey Well, I always see that as um as Jesus uh taking control of the situation saying I am not who the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the priests think I am the way they're expecting me to come in.

Yeah.

And that was confirmation that this is what he'd been saying all along.

It's also confirmation of the prophecies from like Isaiah.

Yeah.

Well, in in his early ministries, you know, he spent most of his time with the poor people, with the people that were oppressed by the by the system.

And I think up to that point, it's I am still for the people.

I'm still here, not for the well, I'm here for the sick.

Yeah.

And you juxtapose that with how he's going to come from what from what we know of Revelations, right?

He's coming on a big white steed, he's coming in all power.

It's yeah, this is how I'm coming now.

This is how I'm going to just wait.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's uh oh gosh, I had a thought and I got distracted because I was looking about looking up the donkey thing.

Well, a donkey and a cult, remember, he told his people to get two things.

There was peace, and there was one other thing, but I can't remember what it was that the dock donkey symbolized, but I don't know that it matters all that much.

Look it up, it's in Luke 19.

Yeah, yeah.

But um, I I think that it's interesting that not only did did Jesus say that he was coming like in humility, but that he was also coming.

I think peace just in general is uh an interesting idea for a king to come in.

Um and you know, um in today's worlds we've got marketing and and lobbying and all of the like for like say a presidential election, they're they're like, I promise this to you.

Like in in other countries, like when somebody comes over and they're it's a it's a conquer type thing, but it's usually done with force.

But Jesus, um, even like in the Old Testament prophecies and what he told the um uh disciples is that he was coming in in peace.

And we can see uh the way that he came and the way that he um uh established his kingdom kingdom was actually through his death and a sacrifice, right?

And then we go in and we we look at scripture like the armor of God.

And uh and in Ephesians it talks about putting on your armor, you know, the armor of God, and it's like a full suit of armor, but all of the the pieces of that are the it's like it's all symbolum symbolism for something that's peaceful, really, right?

Like the the mo the only offensive tool in that is the sword, and the sword represents truth, and Jesus that's what he uses as weapon was truth, you know.

Yeah, he didn't go into Jerusalem on a horse with armor and like okay, I'm taking over.

Yeah, which is what they expected.

And I think that the religious leeches leaders of the day, that's what they expected.

Yeah.

And um I'm not sure what people expected.

You know, the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the temple priests, they would read the scriptures, the Old Testament writings to people.

Probably not many people had anything in their homes that they could read, right?

So you'd go to the temple for scripture reading all day.

Everybody was reading the scriptures all day.

So you're going to expect what you're taught in the synagogues, which was the Messiah is going to be this big powerful governmental ruler, right?

And he isn't this time.

So he came in peace, he came, he came in on a donkey, which is the beast of burden, right?

It's the it's the animal that everybody had, that the common people had.

And he came in as them.

He didn't come in as a religious leader, he didn't come in as a politician, he didn't come in as uh, you know, a Solomon or a David, you know, I'm gonna defeat all evil by force.

He came in quietly, peacefully, and that's why we're encouraged in the in in our New Testament is you know, blessed are the peacemakers, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So that's awesome.

I that's a a perfect uh segue.

Because I think that um I so when I was studying for this, I learned uh a new thing as well.

So blessed are the peacemakers.

When the idea of of the peacemakers, I think that we first see that in Luke 10.

And that's when um Jesus sent out sent out the disciples two by two.

And he said, Look for people of peace, right?

And um Yeah, if somebody doesn't accept you, go find another place to stay, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Leave the dust in their house and go somewhere else.

Yeah.

So the people of peace um that we're looking for are people who are receptive and are um but but Jesus did say, like, to his disciples, his marching orders, like his last marching orders were um, I mean, essentially follow me, but he gave a he gave real specific, you know, instructions.

Go and make disciples, yeah.

Yeah, and and so much of that early talk about being peaceful and gentle is in the Sermon on the Mount, the what we call the Beatitudes, our Christian theology, th theological word, the Beatitudes, it's all it's all that.

It's be humble, it's be merciful, it's take care of people who can't take care of themselves.

Um and when we look around in our society right now, even in our evangelical society, you think, oh my goodness.

I know.

Yeah.

Are we not I mean I'm not living like that?

Honest.

I look at myself like that.

And the one of the reasons why I thought that it'd be great to have this conversation with you is because you are excellent at this, I think.

Like you just connect really well with people and see them where they're at and and are able to engage.

And so it's it's really cool to have this conversation of follow me.

This is what it looks like to share the gospel, this is what it looks like to share the good news, to share Jesus with other people.

And we we do it by being peacemakers, right?

And we go find our people of peace.

Yeah, and it's it's difficult sometimes.

You have this inner struggle, is like, I am.

Why would somebody want to follow me because I follow Jesus?

I am like we say, you know, no perfect people allowed.

Yeah.

I am as imperfect as you can get.

And I have my frailties and my flaws that unfortunately I exhibit more often than I care to.

Um but that is our strength when we want to talk to other people about, you know, well, you know, the question is, why should someone follow Jesus?

What can I tell them about following Jesus?

Why do I follow Jesus, right?

Why should you follow Jesus?

Yeah.

You know, why do we follow Jesus?

I don't think we ask that question to ourselves, and I don't think we give ourselves a good enough answer to share with people, why do you follow Jesus?

Wow, that's a yeah, that's a great question for all of us to pause on the job.

What would you answer?

You're you're in you're Why do I follow Jesus?

Yeah, why do you follow Jesus?

Uh um because I honestly, I earlier on in my life, I would say because um of the change that I've seen him make in my life, because he met me um when I was six, and I I had a childlike faith.

I just believed, and in that childlike faith, I had God experience and relationship just naturally, and then I walked away when I was 13, made terrible life decisions, realized that his way is the way that works, and went back and he started changing my life again.

You know what I mean?

And so that's all experiential.

And then as I started to dive in and started asking myself questions that I think people who didn't know Jesus yet would ask me, I started to wrestle through a lot of those questions and realized, yeah, those are valid questions.

Like, why, you know, why is that?

Like, why do I believe?

Like, how do I know for sure that Jesus raised from the dead?

Like, how do I know he is who he said he is?

And so I started actually wrestling through those things while going through the historical uh accounts, and now my answer is because it's the truth.

Right.

It did happen.

It did happen, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I and I think it's similar to me is you know, I followed Jesus because somebody told me that I should, and I said, Well, why should I?

And then the Holy Spirit said, This is why you should, Tony.

I mean, I I think I've shared this before that.

Um when I uh the day that I decided to follow Jesus, it was a clear voice from him.

I can't tell you what the words were, but I heard it.

It's a clear voice to Tony that something like, I've got you or you're mine now.

Wow.

So can you elaborate on I heard a clear voice?

Because there are so many people who wrestle with that.

Yeah, and some people don't.

You know, some people don't.

You know, people who say that I've always been a Christian.

I've grown up a Christian household.

I I yes, there was a day that I I said the words, I did the I did the prayer.

Um but some people like me who weren't formally church or we weren't evangelical.

I mean, we went to church on all the great holidays and when somebody got baptized or whatever, but I didn't I didn't come from an evangelical household.

So um when when a friend of mine said, you know, met me up at uh Timberline Lodge that day when I um well there was a day when cars didn't have hood latches on the inside, and somebody could steal your battery quite easily.

Okay.

So somebody stole my battery, so I called this friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a while, because I wasn't living in Hillsborough, I was living in Central Oregon, and I said, Hey, someone stole my battery, can you help me out?

And he you know, there was payphones, there weren't cell phones, you couldn't text, there wasn't nobody was gonna deliver things.

Um It was a different world.

So we're standing by the payphone in Timberline Lodge calling back and forth to each other, and he finally came up and um and delivered a battery and said he he looked at me and said, You're in trouble, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Big trouble.

Give me a moment.

He just looked at me and said, Something's wrong.

And he said, Let's go talk.

So we went out behind uh the lodge and he kind of shared exactly what I was going through in my life.

Exactly.

Wow.

And he said, You need to follow Jesus, and I said, Why?

And he goes, Because you'll be a better person.

And Jesus will change your life from here on out.

And so um, so we didn't plan this, but um this is the Bible that I took out of the desk, out of the nightstand at my room in Timberline Lodge after I received Christ.

This is the original cover of it.

It's all beat up.

Pieces are coming out.

And there was a girl at um, a girl in our office who I saw that she had a a couple books and she was binding books.

I said, Do you repair books?

She goes, I'm trying to teach myself.

I go, would you I have a book, would you repair?

Yeah.

I didn't tell her it was my Bible, and I and I brought it in, and I was opening it up and I was showing her how the pages were falling out.

And I said, This is my first Bible that I got the day that I decided to follow Jesus.

It's all marked up and pages are falling out.

And um I shared less emotional than what I just did.

I didn't have ugly cryface that day.

Um, and then she had this for weeks, and I think she was kind of afraid to do anything with it.

She kept asking me little questions.

But it it it let me have a conversation with her about why this was really important.

Yeah.

Now I don't we've never talked about faith or anything since then, but it was an opportunity for me to get this thing fixed and pass it down to my family if anybody else wants it.

Yeah.

Um but again, you know, why sh why would you tell somebody to follow Jesus?

Or why would you tell somebody to follow you because you follow Jesus?

Because it's true.

And if you are open to a conversation about it, seriously, if you're a seeker or you have issues in your life, we've all everybody has asked the question, I don't care what they say, is what is the meaning of my life?

What is my purpose?

Why am I here?

How did I get here?

Um we have just the perfect opportunity when it comes to weeks like Easter.

We do Easter big, we do Christmas big, we do baptisms big.

Those are all opportunities.

I mean, people bring non-Christian family members to baptisms, and those are perfect reasons why you can have conversations with people.

You know, why do you follow Jesus?

Because he's real.

He says what we've been taught all our lives is true, and we can prove it.

And we don't have to do it through theology, we don't have to do it through denominational differences.

Um, it's all simple.

It's in here, it's it's simple.

Jesus is who he says he is.

Nobody comes to God but through me.

God wants to have a relationship with us, that's why he created us.

He wants to have a relationship with us.

And now that we have Jesus, we don't have to go through a priest, we don't have to go through all the laws and rules and regulations of um of the Old Testament.

Yeah.

We just have Jesus.

Yeah.

He's right there.

He he he brings things to God, but he also is God, right?

Right.

And we have the Holy Spirit to be a different kind of conscious than we used to have.

Yeah.

And all those things are real.

And why would why would you not want that in your life, no matter whether your life is great or not great.

Yeah.

Why would you not want that?

Oh my goodness.

I mean, I feel like we could just stop.

So good.

Well, I mean, our s we've gone over this before, but yeah.

Our stories are our stories and nobody can tell you they're not, right?

Yeah.

So never be afraid to tell people how you decided to follow Jesus.

Yeah.

Because they can't tell you that it didn't happen.

Yeah, I can tell you this.

I have proof.

This came November 1976.

It happened.

Yeah.

I can tell you, I've got people that are still alive that were there that day with me.

I can prove that that really happened in my life.

Yeah.

And that's why I would that's why I'm not afraid to tell people that they should follow Jesus.

That's amazing.

Okay.

So to get into a little bit more nitty-gritty on the engagement, like this conversation that you were able to have with this woman was an incredible opportunity, and you grabbed a hold of it.

And I know that you have probably thousands of other examples of how you've engaged with people.

Yeah, just since I started going here.

Yeah.

So so number one, I hear you say, just don't be afraid or shy of being yourself, right?

Um, but also the do what uh what other tips do you have or whatever like opportunities, opportunities of engagement can you share with people to look out for and be sensitive to, like, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, people people spend most of their time in the workplace, and there's always a kind of a taboo about talking about spiritual things at work, right?

And um it wasn't really until we had the um change your world um uh program that we that we did for a couple of years that I decided that was that was my thing is okay, I'm gonna just start.

I don't care if I get in trouble at work, I'm I'm gonna talk about Jesus at work.

I'm gonna invite people to our events, everyone we have, and to regular church on Sunday.

So I think you just have to say, I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about Jesus to my friends, who I am, why, why it's important in my life and what changes it's made.

Um and if you go to West Side, why wouldn't you want your friends to come here on a Saturday or a Sunday?

Yeah.

This is not regular church.

It's a pretty cool place.

I agree.

This is not two upbeat songs and one ballad kind of a church, right?

Yeah.

We have a level that we get to and we stay that way the whole weekend long.

Yeah.

Um and it's because we realize that people and the church, the local church and the greater church, can change your life.

And they can be they can be their, they can be your social net, right?

They can be your safety net.

And you know, the these uh midweek motivations, the stories that people tell are just why wouldn't you want that in your life, right?

Very true, yeah.

Wow.

And you just have to uh find people that might listen to you and and maybe some that are stubborn and not.

Because what what do you have to lose?

You get written up at work or whatever it is, or your family gatherings, you're gonna you'll be that person.

Oh, there's Tony again.

He's gonna invite us to church.

Yes, I am.

Yeah.

Because your life will be better for it.

Yeah.

Well, at least you're predictable, right?

Yeah, yes.

That's awesome.

I love it.

Oh man, okay.

Well, I honestly I f I feel like that kind of lands um where I was hoping this conversation would, just connecting that idea that that Jesus it came in such an unexpected way.

And in that unexpected way, we we saw peace and he told us to follow him, and then told us to go find more people and bring them back.

So so um number one, thank you for sharing your story.

Uh I I love it Yeah, we never plan these.

People think we write the scripts.

We never you and I never plan these.

We just No, because we just have these conversations on a Sunday or Saturday in the lobby.

So it's good.

Well, I mean, Jesus, the the whole Easter week and the whole this whole season happened.

And that happened for us for for it to help us and for us to tell other people.

This happened.

Yeah.

So that we can bring bring other people with us.

Yeah, so we can go tell other people.

Yeah, that's good stuff.

All right.

Well, I think um if you had one thing or I should I I guess I'll ask it this way.

If you had one encouragement or one additional thing that you didn't get to say that you want people to walk away with, what might it be?

Maybe you've said it already.

No, I think that people, our society is a very uh quiet and shy society.

Even evangelicals, people who follow Jesus, um are not in your face people.

You go to other countries.

I remember the first time I went to New York City, it was like, whoa, I just I'm just ordering a a hamburger.

I why is it in your face?

You know?

There there are other places in the world where they're very vocal.

Um they're not afraid to talk about anything.

And so um I think we're called to step out and and and to in peace and kindness and in gentleness and in humbleness tell people who Jesus is and what Jesus meant to our lives and in our families.

Some come by peace, some come by love, some come by force.

The force is not ours.

Amen.

That's God's God will do that.

He has Jesus has us doing it gently, peacefully, kindly, quietly.

The Obi-Wan thing, right?

Yeah.

I won't be stronger if you strike me down.

Right.

So um we just have to be bold, but not in the in your face kind of sense.

So don't go don't go in riding on a giant white horse.

Come in on a donkey.

Awesome.

All right.

Thanks, Tony.
