All right.
00:00:37.167 --> 00:00:37.787
Hello.
00:00:37.887 --> 00:00:38.368
Hello.
00:00:38.448 --> 00:00:39.607
How are you guys doing?
00:00:40.289 --> 00:00:41.069
Hello.
00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:41.588
Hello.
00:00:41.649 --> 00:00:42.009
Hello.
00:00:42.048 --> 00:00:42.509
Hello.
00:00:42.529 --> 00:00:44.070
How are you guys doing?
00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:46.930
I hope you guys had a great, great day.
00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:49.131
And now we are, for me,
00:00:50.072 --> 00:00:52.311
having a great time right now.
00:00:52.932 --> 00:00:54.232
Excited to be with you guys
00:00:54.832 --> 00:00:57.753
and happy Thursday.
00:00:59.314 --> 00:01:00.554
And of course, when you hear this,
00:01:00.975 --> 00:01:01.875
you'll be like, hey,
00:01:02.115 --> 00:01:03.435
it is totally not that time.
00:01:03.936 --> 00:01:05.236
But I got out of here late.
00:01:05.816 --> 00:01:08.257
You know, sometimes you get tired, right?
00:01:08.697 --> 00:01:10.358
You're like, ooh, me.
00:01:12.117 --> 00:01:13.957
But I woke up.
00:01:14.358 --> 00:01:14.838
So anyway,
00:01:15.638 --> 00:01:17.759
I know that my consistency about
00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:20.219
what I've set myself to do,
00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:21.939
I'm going to stick with
00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:24.760
that and I'm going to do it.
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.341
So today we are going to be
00:01:28.402 --> 00:01:32.423
talking about sexual sense.
00:01:33.903 --> 00:01:34.882
You can get caught up.
00:01:35.743 --> 00:01:36.164
You can.
00:01:37.623 --> 00:01:39.484
And we're going to get into that.
00:01:39.905 --> 00:01:42.864
But before I talk about that,
00:01:43.085 --> 00:01:44.305
let's go ahead and pray.
00:01:44.965 --> 00:01:46.105
And then I've got some
00:01:47.887 --> 00:01:48.927
scripture for you guys.
00:01:49.486 --> 00:01:51.108
So I got a lot of scriptures
00:01:51.248 --> 00:01:53.608
and we'll just talk because
00:01:53.628 --> 00:01:54.688
that's what we do over here
00:01:54.808 --> 00:01:55.549
in these streets.
00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:56.888
And if you're new to me,
00:01:57.409 --> 00:01:58.650
my name is T. Drake,
00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:00.629
podcasting godmother of connection.
00:02:01.471 --> 00:02:03.111
And this is what I do.
00:02:03.932 --> 00:02:05.914
I sometimes have Bible
00:02:05.933 --> 00:02:07.314
studies and go through different books,
00:02:08.015 --> 00:02:09.377
and sometimes I just have
00:02:09.817 --> 00:02:11.217
conversations either about
00:02:11.618 --> 00:02:13.080
some topics that are going
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.262
on in the world or some
00:02:15.301 --> 00:02:16.902
things I've gone through personally,
00:02:17.604 --> 00:02:18.865
and whatever the Lord leads
00:02:18.925 --> 00:02:21.407
me to share about, that's what I do.
00:02:21.667 --> 00:02:23.889
So we're going to go ahead and pray,
00:02:23.968 --> 00:02:25.931
and then we'll get right into this.
00:02:26.771 --> 00:02:27.151
Here we go.
00:02:27.853 --> 00:02:29.114
Gracious Heavenly Father, Lord,
00:02:29.174 --> 00:02:31.515
thank you for this time where God did
00:02:32.222 --> 00:02:33.562
once again, be in your word.
00:02:33.703 --> 00:02:33.923
Lord,
00:02:33.943 --> 00:02:37.627
it is always a privilege and an honor,
00:02:37.646 --> 00:02:37.926
and Lord,
00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:40.808
I am humbled to be able to do it.
00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:41.409
Lord,
00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:43.531
I thank you for the allowance to even
00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:44.651
be in your word and that
00:02:44.692 --> 00:02:46.614
you are allowing me to share.
00:02:47.133 --> 00:02:48.996
Lord, may this, what I share,
00:02:49.496 --> 00:02:53.199
help somebody in a form or fashion, Lord,
00:02:53.218 --> 00:02:54.120
that you desire.
00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:54.781
Lord,
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.082
I pray that if there are other
00:02:57.103 --> 00:02:58.183
believers that are going
00:02:58.223 --> 00:03:00.544
through certain types of abuses, Lord,
00:03:00.586 --> 00:03:01.045
in their life,
00:03:01.513 --> 00:03:01.673
Lord,
00:03:01.712 --> 00:03:03.093
that you would give them the courage
00:03:03.294 --> 00:03:06.355
to speak up, stand up, and Lord,
00:03:06.415 --> 00:03:07.295
not be afraid.
00:03:07.316 --> 00:03:08.176
Because Lord,
00:03:08.197 --> 00:03:10.358
you have commanded us to not
00:03:10.437 --> 00:03:11.979
be afraid and be courageous.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.100
So Lord, let us find our voices,
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.602
use our voices, and share.
00:03:18.203 --> 00:03:18.723
Lord God,
00:03:19.143 --> 00:03:22.284
it is in your precious son's name, Jesus,
00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:22.865
I pray.
00:03:22.884 --> 00:03:24.225
Amen.
00:03:25.426 --> 00:03:27.707
All right, so before we get started,
00:03:27.728 --> 00:03:29.989
this is not going to be a trigger warning,
00:03:30.049 --> 00:03:30.729
but if this
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.319
This is what I talk about,
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:33.501
even though it's in the word,
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:35.241
if it bothers you or
00:03:35.341 --> 00:03:38.241
somehow it is just
00:03:38.722 --> 00:03:40.122
something that's too heavy,
00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:42.522
I definitely ask you to
00:03:43.024 --> 00:03:44.104
take care of yourself and
00:03:44.144 --> 00:03:46.305
do some self-care and tune
00:03:46.344 --> 00:03:48.844
back in later when you are
00:03:48.944 --> 00:03:51.026
able to and just always
00:03:51.066 --> 00:03:51.806
make sure you're taking
00:03:51.846 --> 00:03:53.766
care of yourself because I
00:03:53.806 --> 00:03:56.568
don't care how much I talk
00:03:56.608 --> 00:03:58.068
about certain things, even for me,
00:03:59.088 --> 00:04:00.429
a survivor of domestic violence,
00:04:00.905 --> 00:04:01.765
sometimes there are things
00:04:01.825 --> 00:04:04.426
that can bring back up
00:04:04.507 --> 00:04:06.328
emotions and they're hard.
00:04:06.407 --> 00:04:07.308
Some people don't care
00:04:07.329 --> 00:04:08.969
because they've never gone through it,
00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:09.289
right?
00:04:10.170 --> 00:04:11.491
But if you are a person that
00:04:11.510 --> 00:04:12.872
gone through any type of abuse,
00:04:13.393 --> 00:04:15.894
it can be hard to listen to.
00:04:16.033 --> 00:04:16.975
It can be hard to,
00:04:17.654 --> 00:04:18.696
even as I share in the word,
00:04:18.735 --> 00:04:19.555
there are some things,
00:04:20.177 --> 00:04:21.396
even in the Bible that I've read,
00:04:21.437 --> 00:04:23.598
some certain stories that
00:04:23.658 --> 00:04:24.959
caused me to be like, okay,
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.341
let me pause and then let
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.362
me take care of myself.
00:04:28.422 --> 00:04:30.483
So if that's what happens with you,
00:04:31.456 --> 00:04:32.177
while you're listening,
00:04:32.757 --> 00:04:34.478
please make sure you're
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:35.680
taking care of yourself,
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.300
however you need to do that.
00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:39.622
So first I'm going to get
00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:41.264
into some scripture
00:04:41.303 --> 00:04:42.404
passages and I have a lot
00:04:42.425 --> 00:04:45.726
of them and you know me, well,
00:04:45.747 --> 00:04:47.187
you don't know that I've
00:04:47.228 --> 00:04:48.348
already gone a little bit
00:04:48.389 --> 00:04:49.069
of school shopping.
00:04:49.089 --> 00:04:50.850
I was kind of excited just
00:04:50.891 --> 00:04:51.790
going off a tangent here
00:04:51.831 --> 00:04:52.752
before I get into the work.
00:04:53.353 --> 00:04:55.394
I went to the store and Walmart's,
00:04:55.434 --> 00:04:55.733
you know,
00:04:56.134 --> 00:04:58.055
having all these things for kids
00:04:58.076 --> 00:04:58.555
to go to school.
00:04:58.576 --> 00:04:58.636
You
00:05:01.413 --> 00:05:02.475
because I look at the
00:05:02.514 --> 00:05:03.875
stationary stuff and I get
00:05:03.896 --> 00:05:04.536
stuff for myself.
00:05:06.557 --> 00:05:09.259
So I went and they have
00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:12.382
these sticky transparent highlights.
00:05:12.422 --> 00:05:13.882
You know, you use highlighters,
00:05:14.223 --> 00:05:15.363
but these are cool.
00:05:15.423 --> 00:05:16.685
Cause I was like, wait a minute,
00:05:16.704 --> 00:05:17.846
they have sticky highlights.
00:05:18.225 --> 00:05:18.625
So, you know,
00:05:18.646 --> 00:05:21.608
you have a post-it paper that you use.
00:05:21.887 --> 00:05:23.329
These are like those thin
00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:24.850
sticky highlights that you
00:05:24.891 --> 00:05:25.870
could put over a word.
00:05:26.211 --> 00:05:27.112
And I've been using them.
00:05:27.132 --> 00:05:28.533
I'm just like, listen,
00:05:28.552 --> 00:05:30.053
your girl here is a nerd.
00:05:30.274 --> 00:05:31.035
Okay.
00:05:31.629 --> 00:05:33.190
And very, very much respect.
00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:37.574
And I love my paper protectors.
00:05:38.093 --> 00:05:39.355
I love my pens.
00:05:39.495 --> 00:05:41.636
I love everything stationery.
00:05:42.216 --> 00:05:44.098
If I have a way to make stationery stuff,
00:05:44.497 --> 00:05:46.019
man, I make pineapple stationery,
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.100
coconut stationery.
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.459
I would make diamond and
00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.201
sparkle stationery.
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:49.581
Listen,
00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:51.141
you couldn't stop me if I figured
00:05:51.161 --> 00:05:53.142
out how to make all kinds of stationery.
00:05:53.584 --> 00:05:55.625
I would just be like the stationery queen.
00:05:56.285 --> 00:05:57.925
But anyway, excuse me.
00:05:57.946 --> 00:
