### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Triumph is not the absence of struggle, but the defiance of defeat in the face of adversity. We'll say it again. Triumph is not the absence of struggle because some of you have struggled right now and you're finding it difficult to triumph. You're finding it difficult to be happy in the face of adversity. You're finding it difficult to get the marriage or the kids or your business or your dream. You think triumph is perfection. You think triumph is without flaw. You think triumph means that I'm out of Egypt now." [01:00:18](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

2. "You are not alone. Do know that you are not alone. I think one of the things is always people think I'm the only one. I'm the only one. No one's going through this. No one's you trust me.

3. "Disconnect from these inanimate objects and connect to everything that God created. Come on, somebody. You know, the Jewish people, those who particularly practice their faith on Fridays, they don't do any work. And they literally, and most of them, they don't even drive a car. It is their way of connecting with nature. It's their way of literally taking time to look at the real colors in the sky, really to take the time to walk and see the true colors in the trees and in the plants."

4. "Hope alone is not a strategy. I'm saying again, hope alone, is not a strategy. You can say, I hope my marriage get better. Well, you know what? I hope we do better next year. Hope alone is not a, what is the plan? What is the strategy to make sure you get out of debt? I hope I get out of debt. That's not good enough. What is the strategy? Do you have a plan for your freedom? Do you have a plan for your deliverance?" [49:12](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

5. "You know, individuals who wear glasses, such as yourself, we don't think you're dysfunctional because you're wearing glasses. You know, when no one would say, oh, my God, she's wearing glasses, you know, she's, but when it comes to the mind, if people go get help for their mind, there's this stigma of you're broken, you need help, you're evil, whatever the case may be."

1. "Some of you are out of the traumatic event. Egypt, you're out of Egypt. You're out of the bad marriage, but the bad marriage is still in you.

The person who was an addict is no longer going to the environment of the addicts or the alcohol or the crack spaces he went to or used to go to. He's out of the environment, but now it's time to get it out of him." [01:00:18](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

2. "Trauma is not just a past event. It's a current threat to one's wellbeing lurking in the shadows of the man. The man has already said trauma is just not a past event. A traumatic event. Trauma is just not a past event. Trauma is just not a past event. That happened 10 years ago can be a current threat to one's wellbeing. Can any of you think of a traumatic event that happened to you? Maybe you was touched the wrong way. Maybe someone spoke to you the wrong way. Maybe someone called you names and now the names they call you when you was five and six, you're living those names out."

3. "You can't see the picture if you're in the frame, is one thing I'd say. You can't see the picture if you're in the frame. It sometimes takes someone on the outside to show you stuff you can't see. Many people . . . how do you disconnect from after being in this busy life you have? And he talked about how he literally shut everything down. He'd get away from social media. He'd put his phone away. And he'd connect with just the earth. In other words, with the sun, with the, with dirt, with the water, with the trees, with the sky, not worshiping it."

4. "My desire as we talk about this on today and next week is that, that we don't feed cycles, that we break cycles, that we don't feed the negative cycles in our lives. Because watch this here. If you don't deal with that inner child in your life, your children in your adult stage, your children is going to deal with it themselves. You know, in my research, in my study, I found out that literally trauma lives in the body. That's the reason why when certain things come up or you got to have a conversation, you don't want to have your hand start sweating, your throat get, it's because trauma literally lives in your body."

5. "You know, someone shared with me, it's been a minute now, that how you know that you aren't healed, or you still have pain from a thing, is when it comes up, how does it make you feel? Does it cause certain emotions to release off in your body? How do you respond when certain things happen? And you know if you are, quickly, you know if you are over a man or a woman based on how it makes you feel. Don't play with me up in this Baptist church right now. You know you over him when he can walk past you, know nothing happened to you, matter of fact, no response at all, and matter of fact, you ready for that joker to go."
