You are a descendant of the disciples and the one he's praying for and I just love and listen. This is me. If this isn't you that's okay, but I love that in this passage where Jesus is praying the son praying to the father right before he's betrayed right before he's arrested. Not only is he praying for the disciples who were immediately there walking with him, but he prayed for Josh. And he prayed for Stephen and he prayed for Eric. He prayed for Terry. He pray for Donna. He pray for Tracy. He pray for Joseph." [01:18:55](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

4. "We will hit a few times and that theme is called redeeming we're familiar with that term. Redemption redeeming when it comes to salvation. We are thankful that we were redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ with the blood of the lamb. We've been redeemed and we celebrate that. I've taught on that. I'll touch. I'll teach briefly on that as we continue. Okay, because you need to know but but there's another concept that I'm really big on and that is redeeming other things. We we weren't created for evil either. Okay, we've been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. And there's things in this world that was created for good that the world has taken and used for bad." [01:11:24](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

5. "We define the culture of our lives by what we do and what we allow to be done. What is the culture? Of your world looking at what you do and or what you allow to be done around you. What is the culture of your world? If people watched you for a day and you and they said somebody asked them to find their culture, what would they write down? What would you write down? And maybe that's something you think about sometime. Maybe you need to sit down and write down what you think the culture of your life should be and then set it up and read it and live life and keep comparing it and see if it's lining up."
