Firstly, royals are not allowed to vote or publicly express their political views, as the monarchy and Parliament must work together in order to keep things in the country running in order
A challenge that would prove difficult for Meghan, members of the Royal Family are banned from publicly stating their political allegiance, although they are entitled to hold their own private views
It is widely believed that the royal family is banned from playing Monopoly, after Prince Andrew jokingly claimed: "We're not allowed to play Monopoly at home
It gets too vicious." But some Britons took the Prince's joke too literally, with many believing the game was in fact, banned from palace grounds
Royals are not allowed to eat shellfish, to protect themselves against food poisoning, as they often travel to and attend several high profile events during the week
But Prince Charles has been spotted eating the delicacy, proving that the rule is not written in stone
Two heirs to the throne are not allowed to travel in the same vehicle together, so as to protect the lineage in the Royal Family
Prine Charles and Prince William are hardly seen riding in the same car, but the Duke of Cambridge and his son, Prince George, often do, which might be down to the fact that George is further down the line of succession
The Royal Family are known to have their own special Christmas tradition.They surprisingly do not open presents on Christmas Day but instead unwrap them during tea time on Christmas Eve - a different custom compared to Britons across the UK
Garlic is banned from the Royal household, according to the Duchess of Cornwall.During her appearance on MasterChef Australia, she called the pungent root a "no-no" - which could be due to the fact that state banquets involve lots of chatting, and having garlic breath would most probably be avoided
The Queen often wears bright and vibrant colours for royal events, and has been spotted donning bright yellows, fluorescent greens, and fuchsia
The reason for her chic wardrobe is so that she can be easily spotted in crowds.In the documentary, The Queen at 90, the Countess of Wessex said: "She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen
'"Don't forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the Queen's hat as she went past
" The Queen also has a "secret code" to communicate with her staff.It is believed she uses her purse to signal how she wants Royal meetings to proceed - if she moves her purse to her right arm, her staff must interrupt her conversation, and if she places it on the dinner table, the banquet must end in five minutes
Public displays of affection - even hand holding - are frowned upon, particularly when Royals travel abroad
Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier, who is the founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette said: "A more serious engagement would warrant a more serious level of professionalism, which each royal is sure to follow

PUBG is broken and here's how we can FIX it! - Duration: 9:04.
As of yesterday
I officially quit pub G as
Many of you know pub G has so many problems that desperately need to be fixed or the games
Diminishing player base will continue to die faster and faster
To fully grasp pub G's failure. You need to understand the game's history in
2013 a little mod would rise to fame amongst the ARMA 2 and gaming community as a whole many of you know it as dayz
Along comes a young man named Brendan green and Irish freelancer hopping jobs and living on welfare
Not much of a gamer himself his life became consumed by dayz
Playing through day and night
Brendan had a genius idea a mod of his own if the idea keeps coming back then it's meant to be
Brendan acted on this and over the next few months would begin to learn to code
After a lot of hard work and problem solving the ARMA 2 dayz battle royale mod was released
Based off dayz. It was an idea never seen in gaming. This is where my journey with the game begins as well
The mod was all the rage, so young me decided he needed to try out this new mod
Only having an Xbox 360 at the time
I watched countless youtube videos of the game and later convinced me to buy my first PC
I followed the mod up until ARMA 3 was released
It took a while before Brendan would bring the mod to the new game and dayz departed from a mod into a standalone game
interest began to dwindle until Sony Entertainment
known today as daybreak hit Brendan up to help deliver their own battle royale mode for the upcoming game h1z1
The game mode quickly became more popular than the original game and roasts the top of twitch with popular streamers like, dr
disrespect and ninja first beginning to gain their popularity
Me not knowing that brendan was behind this project made no difference and I loved it. I
Was an avid twitch viewer of the game until it started to decline and me as many other people lost interest
Brendan wasn't happy not that the game was diminishing but with the restraints that daybreak was giving him a
Small South Korean mobile game developer contacted Brendan and gave him the offer of a lifetime
They offered Brendan to become head of the company and create his own true battle
royale game like no other meanwhile
I had bought my very first PC with a measly MX 150 in it and immediately installed h1 as
Blue Hole began to develop pub G
I began to develop a love for PC gaming as a whole I
Upgraded to a pre-built Asus PC and would eventually build my own
Pub G finally hit early access on Steam on March 23rd
2017 the game began to dominate twitch as h1 had before but this time it was different
Less than a day after its released
I purchased the game on Steam and would eventually pour more hours into it than I had any other game before
after the initial early access period most of the bugs were smoothed out and
optimization was greatly improved the game was doing great and people were looking past things like smaller bugs and the game's
god-awful
Netcode the game really started to decline once fortnight began to grow
Fortnight was a very similar game that added on to the formula with building
The game was much more polished and most importantly free here is where pub G first started to mess up
instead of focusing on current bugs and issues
They decided to pump out more
Content to try to keep up with fortnight all those sitting on over 30 million sales. They decided to fund the new map with
microtransactions a crate system similar to counter-strike system except with somehow worse odds and
Even the rare stuff didn't look remotely
Appealing over the next few months the bug count continued to grow and paid crates were still being pumped out as the bugs were neglected
Finally the development of the new map was finished and soon became the single most hated map in the game
Miramar, the map was so plain and open with little building diversity and low building density the map had much
Poorer loot tables than the previous map and I would frequently find myself
In the top 10 with only a UMP and level 1 gear every time players loaded into the map
They would immediately leave development on the actual game in general came to almost a complete halt
With the addition of new crates and even less attentions to the game's
ongoing bugs and awful servers during this time the games cheating problem peaked and
developers still denied this attention
It took months for developers to actually do something useful by adding a map select and shortly later removing it
after radio silence with the developers
They announced the new map on the horizon a smaller 4x4 kilometer map meant for faster games with quick pacing
Not much happen until the map release
The map was a big hit and it looked like pub G was back on the map
despite removing the map select that didn't last long at all though Blue Hole finally acknowledged that players have been
begging for a progression system ever since launch
The solution was the final hit that sent the game into a downward spiral
Thus an Hawk event pass was released a paid-for progression system similar to for tonight's battle pass
Except with lackluster rewards and items that disappeared after a certain amount of time all this on top of neglecting
The game's biggest problem the absolute wretched in a horrible net coding
Players including me were tired of running behind cover and somehow getting shot from the guy on the other side
And before you ask no, I am NOT on McDonald's Wi-Fi
All of this brings us up to the current day now
I have an almost foolproof plan on how to fix all of pub G's problem now a little disclaimer
I am by no means a game developer
But here are just some of my ideas
This first step should only take up to a week max
And it's probably the simplest step in this two step list
The developers need to come up with about five different event modes to be cycled through every week
Now why is this necessary you may ask? I think this will keep players feeling fresh while the next step comes into play. I'm
pretty sure
Everyone including myself would greatly appreciate it
If you took two to three months to devote your team to completely rework the game servers and netcode
Personally, I'd be fine if this happened because the game has relatively few bugs at the moment and I think it would be totally worth
It even if the upcoming winter map was delayed just these two steps would bring back a majority of the player base
Now this is just the biggest problem but there are many more. So here are just some quality of life lightning round suggestions
Increased circle speed on all maps add apples to all maps pre game lobby
Increase apple count or make them unlimited with Md
Spawning shortly after impact add a shared space or potentially a private shooting range
Add a few create keys to be obtainable by the free event pass add obtainable crate keys and paid event pass
Add more appealing items and crates
Ditch temporary items add more foliage to miramar add more building density to miramar
Increased loot tables on Miramar make vehicles more accessible on Miramar put more scopes around Miramar
Permanently drop the game price and give exclusive items to vets
Increased control responsiveness add a leveling system similar to pub G mobile
slightly increased armor effectiveness nerf shotgun range
Incentivize players to log in with daily BP rewards start match timer at 80 players in Lobby. I
Have one more but it's more of a cool idea than a suggestion during the game lobby
It'd be pretty awesome
If you could fast travel to locations on the map and explore or learn their layouts
It would be pretty fun to find some nasty peek spots like my secret one. I found in Paradise Resort
All of these I generally think when make pub G a much better game and would definitely win a lot of the players back
I really love this game and I can't stand to see it die like this
Share this video with everyone. So Blue Hole can see it
All I want is to make pub G even more amazing

Juan 🍎 Has to Accept My Pregnancy or He Can GTFO!!🌶Paola Mayfield - Duration: 4:19.
Time and time again, Paola Mayfield's friend, Juan, has clashed with her husband, Russ.
Juan has made no secret that he objects to their relationship.
So how is he taking the happy news that Paola is pregnant with Russ' baby ?
Paola suggests that it ultimately doesn't matter -- because she's pregnant, and Juan
just has to accept it.
Paola Mayfield tells Us Weekly that she broke the news of her pregnancy to Juan just a day
before it went public.
Pao explains what she said to Juan: "I told him, 'Look, this is gonna happen, so I don't
want you to find out through someone else.'"
That makes sense.
She also describes his reaction: "And he was like, 'I'm about to cry.'"
But ... perhaps not in the way that viewers of 90 Day Fiance might expect.
These were happy tears.
"'Even though I know I'm not a big fan of Russ,'" Paola says that Juan said.
"'This is amazing because I love you and I know what you've been through, so I'm
really happy for you.'"
That is so sweet of him to say!
Paola admits that she was "surprised" by how positive his reaction was, knowing that this
baby will tie her forever to the man whom he believes to be too controlling.
So, will this baby help -- or force -- Juan and Russ to mend fences?
"I want to believe [it will]," Pao says.
"But he has to accept it no matter what."
Juan can't just wish away this pregnancy news -- or her marriage.
Even though he's been trying with the latter.
"There's nothing he can do about it," Paola says very directly.
"And I don't want the negativity around us because we're going to be parents."
So, in other words, she's leery of having him come around.
But she says that she's not banning Juan from visiting.
"I'm not gonna say no," Paola says about a potential visit from Juan.
"But he's definitely going to need to be more respectful if he's gonna wanna hang
around."
More respectful towards Russ.
Or, at least, more polite and less confrontational.
"[He needs to be] more civil, cordial," Pao laments.
"That's all I've asked from him."
Earlier this week, Paola gushed about her pregnancy news.
"This is the most amazing feeling ever!"
Paola announced.
"We can't believe we are going to be parents —-- we are already so in love with our baby."
That is so touching!
"We are ready for this new adventure," Paola said at the time.
"And we know it will bring us closer together."
Which Juan will just have to accept, as she said.
Paola gushed: "God has blessed us again, and this time, we are going as strong as our baby's
heartbeat!"
Of course, just because Juan is totally onboard with Baby Mayfield doesn't mean that everyone
will be.
First of all, both Paola and Russ have plenty of haters.
Some agree with Juan that Russ is too controlling and tries to make Paola conform to his life.
(He's gotten so much better about accepting her career, though)
Others feel that Paola should abandon Miami and her modeling career and worship the feet
of her lord husband (or whatever) and be grateful to live a quiet life in Oklahoma.
For the record, Russ has defended Paola against these trolls.
Finally, there will be another wave of haters with whom Russ and Pao have less experience
-- pregnancy shamers.
Everything from the cereal Paola eats to the size and shape of her baby bump will be given
intense scrutiny by social media commenters.
Ugh.
People with dynamite figures like hers -- and abs for days like hers -- often have smaller
baby bumps.
There are trolls out there who live to tell fitness-oriented women that their wombs will
be crushed by their abs or whatever.
You just have to ignore it.

Time to Burn All The Rules So You Can Be You - Duration: 8:41.
ayahuasca is a South American and Theodore Duke brew traditionally drunk
by shaman's to connect with the spirit world in the past decade or so it has
sent waves of seekers to the Amazon jungle looking for healing and the
expansion of consciousness myself included I was 2,000 something miles
away from the comfort of my home and a dimly lit room smelled heavily of sage
one by one we took the cup from the Shaymin and drank the thick brown liquid
my intention for the night was one I carefully chose months before the
retreat I wanted nothing more than her and put on what I believed to be my
calling at the time which was to assist others in their healing as a healer at
the time I felt honored to be of service to guide others to transform their pain
into light through shadow work and firmly believe that it is through the
long dark night of the soul that we come to the dawn of spiritual awakening I was
well aware that not even the most experienced Shaymin could predict how an
ayahuasca ceremony would unfold but a tiny part of me secretly wished for an
ecstatic cosmic dance with the Divine Mother lovingly sharing with me what my
soul chose for this life one hour into the experience it was anything but
ecstatic It was as if all hell on earth broke loose I was surrounded by violent
purging crying and intense suffering worse the suffering was magnified to
include every ounce of agony on earth and felt by every molecule of mine
whatever minuscule portion of my mind that was left went berserk and decided
to enter a repetitive chant of I'm fucks that replaced my usual own there was not
the slightest hint of my soul calling if anything I was reduced to effort to stay
alive this certainly wasn't the profound life
work I expected I desperately asked her what the lesson was I told her I was
willing to do the work and just needed a little guidance nothing came
I was engulfed in a world of trauma what seemed like an eternity past I realized
the only thing that ease the intensity of my torment was to come back to my
heart rather than getting stuck in the mind with enormous effort I slowly
shifted my focus from the outer world to the inner from time to time I was so
exhausted that I'd give up and immediately get sucked into the deep
unconscious suffering I realized how absurd that was of me to want to heal
the world or silence the cries outside of me when I couldn't even save myself
the only power I had was to embody and expand the light in my heart with each
breath for as long as I was breathing and hold on to the knowing that even
this wasn't real slowly I discovered the more I was able to acknowledge and even
laugh at my own silliness for falling for this perceived shadow the faster the
illusion of darkness dissipated the noise outside of me gradually lost their
power until I suddenly realized the only cries I believed I heard were actually
coming from inside of my own head in fact the whole world was not suffering
it was my attachment to shadow work that I projected outward and as a result I
created my own shadow on earth the moment I completely let go of the
attachment the room and the whole world transformed everyone was in the most
perfect and joyous place in their journey in their life and in the
universe suddenly Ram Dass his voice popped into my head treat everyone you
meet like God and drag there was no more pain in or around me only infinite
indescribable beautiful and exceptionally playful divine love
playful divine love the stuff we are all made of the world is not broken
no one needs fixing we are all caused travellers enjoying a moment in time
co-creating with each other where there is death there is also life as the
slumber of the dark night fades light breaks among the chaos new universes are
birthed this is the eternal dance of life this is the ecstatic breath of
creation and we are here to experience all of it everything is but an
experience and we can approach each experience from a place of heaviness
burdened with rules we picked up from others or allow ourselves to embrace it
with humor knowing ultimately this is the game of life we chose to come to
earth to play to amuse ourselves but we are not confined or limited by any of it
after all we are the formless creative substance that has a million faces and
names yet are attached to none and we have the absolute power to choose how we
experience anything suddenly I received the confirmation this is when my soul
chose to be on this planet to be evoke the playful divinity in all and the only
way for me to be that is to first embody at myself something I felt to do from
time to time because I took myself too seriously
during the months following that ceremony a stream of new understanding
about my life's work surfaced as I integrated my experience the question
what would I create from the space of playful divine consciousness led to a
profound shift I realized rather than focusing on others pain shadows and
rules nothing gave me greater joy and fulfillment than to use my existing
tools and modalities to empower my clients to remember their godly
perfection and soul gifts claim their conscious leadership and space in this
world and create impactful lives that excite and ignite the fire in them from
an effortless playful and most soul aligned place
yes awakening isn't all about darkness and shadow work it's time to release the
attachment to all the rules of how things should be and just be what would
happen if we all out ourselves to fearlessly claim our playful divine
perfection right here right now instead of waiting for the completion of a
course the end of a void pass on a retreat or another ayahuasca ceremony
what experiences would we create if we courageously embraced our soul essence
in fullest self expression and shared it with the world without the need for
validation or acceptance what lives would we lead if we gloriously declare
to burn all the rules and give ourselves permission to be the mischievous leader
the wild visionary the unconventional entrepreneur the playful spiritual
teacher the laughing healer the entertaining minister the soulful
scientist the millionaire yoga teacher etc true leadership and true conscious
creation stem from you allowing yourself to be you and receiving seeing speaking
being acting and living your highest truth everything else is noise your only
responsibility on earth is to be 100% you the you that was born to shine with
all your glory and all your magic before you inherited all the noise from the
world you soul has already gifted you with every tool gift and resource for
you to create lead and enjoy the most magnificent and beautiful divine
expression that only you can deliver the world needs your essence the world needs
your voice and the world needs you to claim your leadership in space burn all
the rules and beliefs about who you should be what your soul expansion
journey should look like and how you should be a living you don't need them
any more not so surprisingly the message from my next Hiawatha ceremony was laugh
at your own silliness you know all this is a game right the playful light in me
winks at the playful light in you

Pirate101: That One Person You Just Can't Beat (Summer PVP 2018) - Duration: 24:58.
Ahoy ye mateys, welcome back to the sixth episode of my summer pvp adventures.
So far I have posted the first 14 matches I played this season on my privateer.
Around warrior to gladiator rank, I started facing this witchdoctor named Ivy, whom I
met once last season.
Every time I faced Ivy, I would lose.
I think we all have an opponent like that, someone that we always lose to because we
just can't figure out how to beat them.
Finally, after losing to her multiple times, I understood her strategy and was able to
defeat her.
So to capture that experience, this video is going to be a little bit different from
my previous ones.
Instead of showing you all those matches in full, the first part of this video will be
a death compilation.
Then the second part will show the match where I was finally able to work toward a win.
These were matches 15, 16, 17, 24, and 31.
I hope you enjoy this video!
Everyone says that witchdoctor is low tier, but honestly, I think it depends on which
class they're facing.
For a privateer, a skilled witchdoctor like Ivy is a formidable opponent.
Privateers cannot charge as quickly as buccaneers and swashbucklers, so our only hope against
witches is to do our best to survive their initial damage, and then slowly wear them
down toward the end.
You can see that even when I was finally able to beat Ivy, it took a lot of careful resource
management, and I came close to dying several times.
Much respect to Ivy for giving me such a hard time.
Leave a like if you enjoyed this video, thank you for watching, and I will see you in the
next video!

How Much Protein Can You Absorb Per Meal? - Duration: 4:49.
because hopefully you can Hemi it's very noisy and the sparse right now because
of the insects so a lot of people actually believe that the body can only
absorb a certain amount of protein every hour this is the logic behind many gurus
saying that you should be eating small meals frequently throughout the day with
20 to 25 grams of protein per meal so that your body can actually absorb it
all but the truth is that you can eat one meal and you can eat your entire
days worth of protein that you require and still basically get the same results
so here's why that is I'm going to talk about some studies which actually
validate this in a second but first I want you to just think about it from an
evolutionary perspective first and just use some common sense so in the past
what do you think is more likely as a more realistic scenario so scenario a
you find lots of small meals with protein or scenario B you don't eat for
a few days and then you and your tribe and your caveman friends finally catch a
mammoth or finally catch a cow a buffalo whatever animal you're trying to hunt
and you finally get a huge source of protein and because you've been fasted
for a few days you binge out on that and you eat all of it do you really think
that your body in that situation is going to be like sorry mate we're only
going to absorb 25 grams of the 250 grams of protein you just ate and leave
the rest to waste because that's the truth and that's what all these fitness
gurus have been saying no of course not your body wants to get the most out of
all nutrients that it gets because our body doesn't understand water fridges
we're still designed genetically to live in a world where food is scarce so your
body doesn't know that the next meal is coming even though in your mind you do
know that you're going to get Chinese food with your friends later this late
later today the body is very good at getting the nutrients out of the food
you give it whatever you put into the body chances are it's gonna get most of
that and get most of the nutrients of that food regardless of whether you eat
that gradually throughout the day or you eat it all at once so the biggest reason
why people want to know eating all your protein at once is bad
is because they're scared that if they do things like one meal a day or they do
intamin fasting and are eating less but bigger meals throughout the day then
this means they're going to lose more muscle because they're not utilizing
that extra protein that be eating that be getting from more frequent meals so
the best studies we could look at intamin fasting people versus normal
frequent meals and see if there's a difference over time when they're losing
weight at the amount of muscle and strength that they retain and the
researchers actually made it very clear that the people doing intamin fasting
retained just as much muscle as the people who would do more frequent meals
as long as calories and protein are controlled for so what this basically
implies is that you can eat six meals a day or you can eat one meal a day and as
long as you're having the same amount of protein in that 24 hour period you're
going to get the same amount of results in terms of muscle retention over time
and saying this there is actually some research that shows that more frequent
meals are going to be better more specifically a lot of the research
points towards four meals a day with your protein spread over four meals
tends to be ideal if we're talking about protein synthesis in the body if you
really look at that in a laboratory and also things like eating your protein at
night especially eating slow digesting protein like casein is going to elevate
blood amino acid levels throughout the night and it's going to prevent you
going into a catabolic state it's gonna increase protein synthesis while you
sleep so there are things like that to consider so in an ideal world you're
eating all five meals a day with protein and you're also eating protein with one
of those Mills before you sleep and preferably casein protein but in terms
of long term studies and long term results the difference that this would
make is going to be hardly anything so it's not worth stressing over and as
always like I always say just focus on your calories and your protein and
you're gonna be fine whether you have more frequent meals who do fasting is a
completely personal thing and it mostly just comes down to comfort your schedule
and not sustainable for you so it's a big myth that you can only absorb 25
grams of protein and you need to be eating frequent meals
to maximize muscle gain and muscle retention it's a myth but if you can do
that then you're better off doing that especially if your goal is you know
bulking and putting on as much muscle as possible but when it comes to losing fat
and retaining muscle it's just about what's sustainable for you

Youth Voter Registration Surges – Can Millennials Save Us From Decades Of Bad Government? - Duration: 4:23.
New data released this week shows that youth voter registration in 38 states across the
country is absolutely surging.
The states that have seen the largest increase in youth voter registration, number one is
the state of Florida.
They've seen about a 40% increase since February of this year.
Other states include Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New York, Virginia, Indiana, and Arizona,
who have seen the largest increases aside from the state of Florida.
One thing that's happened, obviously, is the threat of school shootings.
These young people who are registering to vote in droves right now are concerned about
the fact that Congress is doing absolutely nothing about the issue.
They don't care that these kids have to go through active shooter drills a couple times
a year so that they learn how to handle themselves when a shooter comes into the school, not
if but when.
That is the reality in which these kids live their lives now, and Congress isn't doing
anything about it.
These young voters know Congress isn't doing anything about it, and they're going to take
action.
Now, there is a corresponding statistic that was not in this story about youth voter registration
surging, but it's troubling because according to recent polling data only 28% of millennials
plan 100% on voting in this year's midterms.
Now there's other who say they'll likely vote or that they'll probably vote, but only 28%
right now say that, hell, yeah, we're definitely going out and voting in the 2018 midterms.
So that's what this is about.
It's not just good enough to register all these young people to vote, age 18 to 29.
It's surging, but what good does that do if you don't go out there and use that newfound
right to vote?
You have to do both.
It's not just about registering, it's about taking the time out of your day to go to your
polling station and cast that ballot, 'cause here's the thing.
If this voting registration among this age group continues, they will become the largest
voting bloc in the United States of America, thereby giving them the power to direct the
direction of this country.
They will have the power to steer us where they think we should be going and, as the
youngest generation, as the people who have more time left on this earth than the rest
of us, I think it's a good responsibility and a good idea to let them steer it.
They know what they want.
They've grown up with horrors that most of us didn't even have to think about when we
were in high school.
Not just the threat of mass shootings, the looming threat of climate change that is accelerating
every year.
You know, climate projections that said, oh, in 50 years or 100 years horrible things are
going to happen.
No, those horrible things, not only are they currently happening but they're going to get
so much worse within the next 10 years.
They have to live with that their entire lives, and they have.
Most of us obviously have lived with it for our entire lives, but it was never that big
of a threat at the time.
It wasn't something that was right around the corner ready to wipe out coastal cities
across the planet.
They've had to deal with that.
They have to deal with a economy that could crash at any moment according to economists.
They have to deal with a job market that doesn't want to give them a decent paying job.
They have to deal with rising healthcare cost, as all of us do.
They have to deal with crippling levels of student loan debt.
These problems, while not all unique to this generation, they all affect this generation.
Some of us were spared from having to deal with some of those things.
This age group hasn't been.
So if they register and if they show up, they can vote out these people who say that school
shootings aren't a big deal or that climate change isn't a big deal or that student loan
debt doesn't matter.
Try to get some scholarships, kids.
They can change the direction of this country, but only if they show up.

Can I Depend on God? | Everyday Answers - Duration: 28:31.
ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LIKE YOU
CAN'T GO ON ONE MORE DAY, BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN
YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP THE MOST THAT'S WHEN YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS
THE CLOSEST.
SO, I'M JUST ENCOURAGING YOU, DON'T YOU QUIT AND DON'T YOU
GIVE UP.
BECAUSE GOD HAS GOT A GOOD PLAN FOR YOU.
HE'S ON YOUR SIDE AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE--ACTUALLY YOU'VE
ALREADY GOT THE VICTORY, YOU'RE JUST WALKING
TOWARD IT RIGHT NOW.
GINGER: AS WE WALK THROUGH EACH NEW DAY, WE ALL HAVE
QUESTIONS.
THEY'RE JUST PART OF LIFE.
BUT DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE ANSWERS FOR YOU?
GOD SAYS WHEN WE LOOK, WE'LL FIND HIM.
HE'S NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING.
SO, TOGETHER WE ARE DISCOVERING LIFE'S EVERYDAY ANSWERS.
GINGER: HEY, THERE, WELCOME TO "EVERYDAY ANSWERS."
WELL, IT'S A BASIC HUMAN NEED.
WE ALL WANT SOMEONE TO CARE FOR US, SOMEONE THAT WE CAN DEPEND
ON BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT MEANT TO BE ALONE.
OUR QUESTION TODAY HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THAT.
THIS COMES FROM ERIC AND HE SAYS, "DOES GOD KNOW WHAT I'M
GOING THROUGH, DOES HE HAVE PLANS FOR ME OR NOT?"
THAT'S SUCH AN HONEST QUESTION, ERIC AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU SHARING THAT WITH US AND SO TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TACKLE
THAT QUESTION.
THERE'S A SCRIPTURE THAT YOU MAY KNOW.
IT SAYS, "THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF
DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL FOR YOU ARE WITH ME.
YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME."
THAT VERSE IS ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN VERSES IN THE BIBLE.
IT'S CONTAINED IN ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN PASSAGES
IN GOD'S WORD, THE 23RD PSALM.
AND TODAY, JOYCE BREAKS DOWN THAT PSALM INTO HOW IT
SO BEAUTIFULLY APPLIES TO OUR LIVES.
AND DEFINITELY ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.
IN FACT, THERE'S SO MUCH GREATNESS IN THAT SHORT CHAPTER
OF THE BIBLE THAT JOYCE TOOK FOUR SESSIONS IN ONE WEEKEND
TO TEACH ON IT.
SO, TODAY WE WILL SHARE KEY MOMENTS FROM THOSE TEACHINGS AS
SHE ANSWERS THIS BIG QUESTION: CAN I DEPEND ON GOD?
JOYCE: "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT."
SHEEP AND SHEPHERDS.
ANALOGIES IN THE BIBLE.
JESUS IS REFERRED TO AS THE SHEPHERD AND WE ARE REFERRED
TO AS HIS SHEEP.
A CHILD PROUDLY SAYS, "THIS IS MY DAD."
AND PUTS AN EMPHASIS ON, "MY DAD."
AND I BELIEVE WHEN DAVID WROTE THIS PSALM, HE WOULD HAVE SAID
IT MORE LIKE, "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD."
AND I WANT TONIGHT--REALLY MY GOAL IN TONIGHT'S TEACHING IS
FOR YOU TO COME INTO A PLACE OF FEELING SAFE.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO FEEL SAFE AND ESPECIALLY WOMEN WANT TO FEEL
SAFE, THEY WANT TO FEEL TAKEN CARE OF.
THAT'S JUST IN OUR NATURE TO WANT TO FEEL SAFE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE CARED FOR, THAT GOD HAS A PLAN
FOR YOUR LIFE, THAT HE'S NOT MAD AT YOU, THAT HE KNEW EVERYTHING
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO WRONG BEFORE YOU EVER EVEN CAME INTO
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
AND HE ALREADY IN HIS PROVIDENTIAL CARE PROVIDED
FOR ALL OF IT.
GOD'S GOT YOU COVERED.
AMEN?
GOD'S GOT YOUR BACK.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,"
I BELIEVE DAVID SAID.
I DON'T WANT US JUST TO THINK ABOUT A GOD WAY OFF IN THE SKY
SOMEWHERE BUT HE WANTS TO HAVE A PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP
WITH US.
THE DIFFERENCE IN RELIGION AND RELATIONSHIP IS WHAT I
JUST SAID.
RELIGION ALWAYS LOOKS FOR GOD SOMEWHERE AND TRIES TO GET TO
GOD THROUGH WORKS AND EFFORT.
AND SOME CERTAIN KIND OF BEHAVIOR.
"ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?" "WELL, I GO TO CHURCH."
"WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED YOU.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN."
I CAN SIT IN MY GARAGE FOR A YEAR AND THAT WILL NEVER MAKE
ME A CAR.
JUST BECAUSE YOU SIT IN CHURCH THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU
A CHRISTIAN, AMEN?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: A CHRISTIAN IS NOT EVEN NECESSARILY SOMEONE
THAT DOES GOOD WORKS.
I MEAN, YES, WE AS CHRISTIANS WE SHOULD DO GOOD WORKS BUT THAT
DOING GOOD WORKS DOESN'T PROVE TO ANYBODY THAT I'M A CHRISTIAN.
THE THING THAT MAKES US A CHRISTIAN IS THAT WE HAVE
RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST INTO OUR HEART TO BE OUR LORD,
TO BE OUR SAVIOR.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD, GOD HIMSELF, WHO TOOK OUR
SIN UPON HIMSELF, WHO TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT, WHO DIED IN OUR
PLACE, WHO ROSE FROM THE DEAD, IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND
OF GOD THE FATHER.
AND AS WE RECEIVE HIM HE COMES TO BE INTIMATE AND PERSONAL,
TO LIVE INSIDE OF US TO HELP US WITH EVERYTHING.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: A SHEPHERD IS A MANAGER,
A CARETAKER, AN OWNER, A PROTECTOR, AND A PROVIDER.
LET ME SAY THOSE WORDS AGAIN.
A MANAGER, YES HE WANTS TO MANAGE YOUR LIFE.
A CARETAKER, AN OWNER, A SHEPHERD BUYS HIS SHEEP,
HE DOESN'T JUST GET THEM FREE.
AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 6:20,
"YOU ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE.
YOU ARE PURCHASED WITH A PRECIOUSNESS AND PAID FOR,
MADE HIS OWN.
SO THEN HONOR GOD AND BRING GLORY TO HIM IN YOUR BODY."
A SHEPHERD BUYS HIS SHEEP WITH MONEY.
JESUS BOUGHT US WITH HIS BLOOD.
HE DIED AND PAID FOR US TO BELONG TO HIM.
YOU ARE AN EXPENSIVE SHEEP.
SHEEP DO NOT INSTINCTIVELY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES LIKE SOME
ANIMALS DO.
THERE'S A REASON WHY JESUS REFERS TO HIS CHILDREN AS SHEEP.
SHEEP NEED ENDLESS ATTENTION.
AND A GREAT DEAL OF SPECIAL CARE.
THEY ARE PRONE TO DISEASE AND PARASITES, REPRESENTING SIN,
FAILURE, WEAKNESS, FLAWS, AND ALL KINDS OF MESSES.
THEY ARE VERY FEARFUL, TIMID, STUPID--I GOT IT OUT OF
THE BOOK, ABOUT SHEEP, A SHEEP BOOK--AND THEY ARE STUBBORN.
A JACKRABBIT CAN STAMPEDE AN ENTIRE HERD OF SHEEP.
NO WONDER HE CALLS US SHEEP.
BUT THE SHEPHERD LOVES THE SHEEP AND HE TAKES CARE OF THE SHEEP.
THE SHEPHERD NEVER REALLY LEAVES THE SHEEP.
HE'S ALWAYS THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE FAULTS THE SHEPHERD LOVES THEM AND
DELIGHTS IN TAKING CARE OF THEM.
SO, HERE'S THE DEAL, IN KINGDOM ECONOMY EITHER GOD DOES IT
OR WE DO IT.
WE ARE PARTNERS WITH GOD AND HE WILL GIVE US THINGS TO DO BUT
THE PART WE CAN'T DO WE NEED TO BACK OFF AND LET GOD DO.
THAT'S THE POINT WHERE WE SAY, "I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT IT
ANYMORE.
I'M GOING TO PRAY ABOUT IT.
I'M GOING TO TRUST GOD.
I'M GOING TO TRUST HIS METHODS.
I'M GOING TO TRUST HIS TIMING.
I'M GOING TO TRUST HIS WAYS AND IF GOD CAN'T GIVE IT TO ME, THEN
I HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH IT."
COME ON, I SAID, "IF GOD CAN'T GIVE IT TO ME, THEN I HAVE
NO BUSINESS WITH IT."
ONE MORE TIME, "IF GOD CAN'T GIVE IT TO ME, THEN I HAVE NO
BUSINESS WITH IT, IT MUST NOT BE THE RIGHT THING FOR ME."
AMEN?
GINGER: WE NEED THE LORD'S GUIDANCE AND WE CAN DEPEND ON
HIM THAT HE WANTS TO BE THERE TO GIVE IT TO US BUT WE HAVE TO
CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT.
THAT WAS PART ONE OF FOUR TEACHINGS ON PSALM 23 AND AS WE
SAID THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT GOD AS OUR SHEPHERD AND I
JUST LOVE THAT.
THAT MEANS HE'S ALWAYS THERE WATCHING OVER US
AND HE'S DEPENDABLE.
SO, LET'S JOIN JOYCE IN HER SECOND TEACHING ON PSALM 23 AS
SHE TALKS ABOUT RESTING IN GOD.
JOYCE: "HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN [FRESH, TENDER]
GREEN PASTURES."
THAT'S REFERRING TO ENTERING THE REST OF GOD.
HEBREWS 4 TEACHES US ABOUT A SUPERNATURAL, A SABBATH REST.
IT'S NOT A REST FROM ACTIVITY, BUT IT'S A REST IN ACTIVITY.
IN OTHER WORDS, I'M WORKING UP HERE AND WHAT I DO IS A LOT OF
WORK, BUT I REST IN MY WORK BECAUSE INTERNALLY I KNOW THAT
IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE YOU LIKE ME AND MAKE YOU
LIKE WHAT I SAY, AND THAT'S GOD'S THING.
I'VE DONE MY PART, I'VE STUDIED, I'VE PRAYED, I'VE SHOWN UP,
I'M PREPARED.
SO, WE CAN ENTER THE REST OF GOD WHEN WE KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WE
KNOW WHAT NOT TO TRY TO DO.
AMEN?
AND A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE DO IS WE DON'T DO
WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND WE TRY TO DO WHAT ONLY GOD CAN DO AND
THEN WE JUST GET ALL MESSED UP IN DOING IT.
ENTERING THE REST OF GOD, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE BECAUSE WHEN
YOU'RE IN THE REST OF GOD, YOU TRUST THAT GOD'S GOING TO
TAKE CARE OF THINGS.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HE'S GOING TO DO IT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
HE'S GOING TO DO.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN HE'S GOING TO DO IT AND YOU'RE REALLY NOT
EVEN ALL THAT CONCERNED ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS FAITH THAT
GOD IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU AND LET YOU DOWN.
SO, WHEN YOU ENTER THE REST OF GOD, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE
ABOUT THE CHANGES YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE , THAT CHANGES YOU
WANT TO SEE IN PEOPLE, THE SALVATION OF YOUR LOVED ONES,
YOUR FINANCES.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF A PROBLEM
YOU HAVE, GOD'S GOT AN ANSWER.
HE'S GOT A PLAN.
BUT WHEN WE'RE ALL FRUSTRATED AND UPSET, WE CAN'T RECEIVE
THE GUIDANCE OF GOD.
SO, WE NEED TO ENTER THE REST OF GOD.
AND I LIKE THIS, VERSE 2 BECAUSE IT SAYS "HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN
GREEN PASTURES."
SO, HERE'S THE THING, WE CAN EITHER CHOOSE TO OR HE CAN
MAKE US LIE DOWN.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BUT I'M SURE SOME OF YOU
HAVE BEEN MADE TO LIE DOWN.
YOU'VE GOT IN A PREDICAMENT WHERE YOU ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE
BUT TO WAIT ON GOD.
SO, "HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADS ME BESIDE THE STILL AND THE RESTFUL WATERS.
HE REFRESHES AND RESTORES MY LIFE, MY SELF, MY SOUL."
NOW, WE'RE TRI-PART BEINGS, WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS FIRST
AND FOREMOST, WE HAVE A SOUL AND WE LIVE IN OUR BODIES.
OUR SOUL IS OUR MIND, HOW WE THINK, OUR WILL, WHAT WE WANT,
THE CHOICES WE MAKE, AND OUR EMOTIONS.
AND I THINK MOST OF US, IF WE'RE HONEST WOULD SAY THAT WE
PROBABLY RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE ARE LED MORE BY HOW THEY FEEL
PROBABLY THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE THING.
WHAT THEY THINK AND WHAT THEY FEEL.
I ALWAYS CALL IT, "I WANT, I THINK, I FEEL.
I WANT, I THINK, I FEEL."
WE SPEND MORE TIME TELLING GOD AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHAT WE WANT,
WHAT WE THINK AND WHAT WE FEEL.
AND GOD WANTS TO RENEW OUR MIND, TEACH US HOW TO THINK THE WAY
HE THINKS.
HE WANTS US TO USE OUR FREE WILL TO CHOOSE HIS WILL.
FREE WILL IS A GREAT GIFT BUT IT IS ALSO A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
HE COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED US WITH NO FREE WILL, WHERE WE HAD
NO CHOICE BUT TO DO WHAT HE WANTED US TO.
BUT THAT'S NOT RELATIONSHIP.
SO, HE GAVE US THIS AMAZING FREE WILL AND NOW HE SAYS, "I
SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, GOOD AND EVIL, HERE'S WHAT I'D
LIKE YOU TO CHOOSE AND IF YOU DO, EVERYTHING WILL GO WELL
WITH YOU."
SO, WE GROW IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, TO LEARN TO THINK
LIKE HIM.
TO LEARN TO USE OUR WILL TO CHOOSE HIS WILL.
AND THEN WE LEARN HOW TO FEEL THE HEART OF GOD AND TO FEEL
THE THINGS THAT HE FEELS.
AND TO ENJOY FEELINGS WHEN THEY'RE GOOD BUT REALIZE THAT
THEY'RE FICKLE AND NOT LET THEM RULE US AND CONTROL US.
SO, IT'S A LIFETIME JOB.
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING--
THAT YOU GET BORN AGAIN AND NEXT WEEK, THAT'S ALL
STRAIGHTENED OUT.
THAT IS A LIFETIME JOB.
AND THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
WE'RE IN A PROCESS.
AND I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I'VE LEARNED TO ENJOY IT.
I'VE LEARNED TO ENJOY MY WALK WITH GOD.
THIS MAYBE SOUNDS A LITTLE ODD TO YOU BUT I'VE ACTUALLY LEARNED
TO ENJOY IT WHEN I RECEIVE CORRECTION FROM GOD BECAUSE IT
LETS ME KNOW THAT HE CARES ABOUT ME.
IF GOD DIDN'T CARE ABOUT US, THEN HE'D JUST LEAVE US ALONE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NOW, IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO
RECEIVE CORRECTION FROM GOD THAN FROM PEOPLE, I WILL SAY THAT.
SO, IT'S REALLY BEST TO GET IT FIRST FROM GOD BECAUSE IF YOU
DON'T TAKE IT FROM HIM, HE WILL ULTIMATELY REVERT TO WORKING
THROUGH PEOPLE TO TELL YOU THE SAME THING HE TRIED TO TELL YOU
12 TIMES THAT YOU IGNORED.
AMEN.
SO HE WANTS TO RENEW OUR MIND, WANTS US TO USE OUR WILL TO
CHOOSE HIS WILL, AND LEARN TO--LEARN THAT FEELINGS ARE
REALLY NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD.
I MEAN, THEY CAN FEEL GOOD, THEY CAN FEEL BAD BUT WE JUST HAVE TO
LEARN THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO STOP LETTING YOUR FEELINGS VOTE.
I REMEMBER ONE MORNING WAKING UP AND I FELT SO BAD I JUST
THOUGHT, "I CAN NOT PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER ONE.
I JUST CAN'T DO IT."
NOW, A LOT OF MY PROBLEM WAS STRESS AND I DIDN'T YET KNOW
WHAT THAT WAS.
I WAS WORKING TOO HARD, I WASN'T RESTING.
I NEEDED TO BE MADE TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
SO PART OF IT WAS MY OWN FAULT, YOU KNOW.
A LOT OF IT WAS MY OWN FAULT.
I WAS SAYING YES TO THINGS I SHOULD HAVE SAID NO TO AND JUST
HAD A LOT THAT I HAD TO LEARN.
BUT I REMEMBER ONE MORNING WAKING UP FEELING SO BAD I JUST
THOUGHT, "OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T STAND IT."
AND I REMEMBER I WENT OUTSIDE AND SAT ON THE LITTLE PORCH THAT
WE HAD, LOOKED OUT AT THE TREES AND I SAID--I KNEW I KIND OF HAD
A DECISION TO MAKE BECAUSE ONE PART OF YOU THINKS,
"I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE."
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
AND ANOTHER PART, THAT PART INSIDE IS SAYING, "BUT YOU DON'T
WANT TO GIVE UP."
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP.
AND I REMEMBER JUST SAYING OUT LOUD, "GOD, IF I'VE ONLY GOT
ONE OUNCE OF STRENGTH, I'M GIVING IT TO YOU."
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M STILL HERE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT JUST TELLING YOU
HOW WONDERFUL I AM.
I'M TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS.
THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT SOMEBODY ELSE CAN COME ALONG.
THESE ARE NOT DECISIONS THAT SOMEBODY ELSE CAN MAKE FOR YOU,
THESE ARE DECISIONS THAT ONLY YOU CAN MAKE.
AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT JUST PREACHING TO THE PEOPLE
IN THIS ROOM TODAY.
I'M SHARING THIS MESSAGE NOT ONLY FOR YOU BUT FOR THE PEOPLE
WATCHING ALL OVER THE WORLD BY TV AND I MEAN THERE ARE SO MANY
MESSES IN SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES AND SO MUCH PAIN.
I MEAN, SICKNESS AND FINANCIAL NEED AND RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
AND JUST ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, I FEEL YOU.
I GET IT.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T GO ON
ONE MORE DAY.
BUT, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP
THE MOST THAT'S WHEN YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS THE CLOSEST.
SO, I'M JUST ENCOURAGING YOU DON'T YOU QUIT AND DON'T YOU
GIVE UP BECAUSE GOD HAS GOT A GOOD PLAN FOR YOU.
HE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE--ACTUALLY YOU'VE ALREADY
GOT THE VICTORY, YOU'RE JUST WALKING TOWARD IT RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, GOD DOESN'T USE THESE ANALOGIES JUST FOR SOMETHING
TO DO.
HE CALLS JESUS OUR GOOD SHEPHERD BECAUSE THERE'S LESSONS WE CAN
LEARN FROM STUDYING A SHEPHERD'S RELATIONSHIP TO HIS SHEEP.
HE CALLS US SHEEP BECAUSE THERE'S LESSONS WE CAN LEARN
FROM STUDYING THE NATURE OF SHEEP.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, I MEAN,
YOU CAN LOOK IT UP.
YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT NOW IN AN INSTANT ONLINE.
JUST LOOK UP THE NATURE OF SHEEP AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.
YOU'LL RECOGNIZE YOURSELF PRETTY QUICK.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I RECOGNIZE MYSELF.
ALRIGHT.
SOME SHEEP ARE KNOWN TO BE CAST DOWN MORE THAN OTHERS AND ONLY
THE DILIGENCE OF THE SHEPHERD HELPS THEM SURVIVE.
WHEN A SHEEP IS CAST DOWN, PREDATORS MOVE IN.
FOR THE SHEEP IT'S BUZZARDS, VULTURES, DOGS, COYOTES,
AND COUGARS.
FOR US, IT'S THE DEVIL.
HE MOVES IN BECAUSE A SHEEP THAT IS CAST DOWN, DEPRESSED,
DISCOURAGED, DOWNTRODDEN, SAD, LOST THEIR JOY, IS EASY PREY
FOR THE ENEMY.
THE DEVIL DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KEEP US SAD AND MAD BUT GOD
WANTS US GLAD.
BECAUSE REALLY AND TRULY OUR JOY IS FOUND IN STRENGTH.
GINGER: YOU KNOW WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW,
JUST REMEMBER WHAT JOYCE IS SAYING ABOUT NOT GIVING UP
BECAUSE I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU.
AND YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM.
WE'LL GET BACK TO EVEN MORE OF JOYCE'S ANSWER FOR TODAY BUT
FIRST LET'S SEE HOW ONE FRIEND ON SOCIAL MEDIA HAS EXPERIENCED
GOD AS A LOVING SHEPHERD.
THIS IS ALICIA AND SHE SAYS, "MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS IN
A HOSPITAL FOR 8 MONTHS.
ONE DAY I PRAYED, 'GOD I'M TIRED OF CRYING ALREADY, WHATEVER YOU
WANT WITH MY CHILD, YOUR WILL BE DONE.'
THE FOLLOWING DAYS, MY DAUGHTER SHOWED IMPROVEMENTS
AND STARTED GETTING BETTER.
SHE WENT THROUGH REHAB, WE HAD TO RETEACH HER TO SWALLOW,
SPEAK, SIT AND WALK.
SHE GOT WELL, WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AND IS NOW WORKING
FULL TIME.
GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS WHEN I SURRENDERED TO HIM."
THANK YOU, ALICIA.
WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU SHARING THAT ENCOURAGEMENT WITH US.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS WHILE GOD DOESN'T
ALWAYS WORK IN THE SAME WAY OR HEAL IN THE SAME WAYS, HE HAS
THAT SAME LOVE FOR EVERY ONE OF US.
AND HE IS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF.
YOU CAN DEPEND ON IT.
SO, TELL US YOUR STORY.
IN WHAT WAYS HAVE YOU STRUGGLED TO DEPEND ON GOD?
AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF LETTING HIM WORK
IN YOUR LIFE?
ANSWER THAT QUESTION ON FACEBOOK OR TWITTER.
USE #EA AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
ASK, WE MAY ANSWER IT HERE ON THE SHOW.
USE #ASKJOYCE.
YOU CAN ALSO DO THAT ON INSTAGRAM.
JUST WRITE IT ON A CARD AND HOLD UP YOUR QUESTION RIGHT THERE
WITH #ASK JOYCE AND WHO KNOWS, YOU MAY SEE IT HERE ON THE SHOW.
SO RIGHT NOW, LET'S GET BACK TO JOYCE WITH MORE OF TODAY'S
ANSWER.
JOYCE: "HE LEADS ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
[UPRIGHTNESS AND RIGHT STANDING WITH HIM--NOT BECAUSE
I'VE EARNED IT BUT]
FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE."
NOW, LET ME JUST SAY A WORD ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RIGHT
STANDING WITH GOD.
MOST OF US SPEND MOST OF OUR LIFE
FEELING BAD ABOUT OURSELVES.
FEELING GUILTY AND CONDEMNED, ASHAMED AND LIKE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH US.
THE DEVIL WANTS TO GIVE US WRONGNESS.
HE WANTS US TO FEEL THAT WE'RE WRONG.
THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IS WRONG.
THAT WE'RE JUST NOT WHAT WE SHOULD BE.
AND JESUS WANTS TO GIVE US RIGHTEOUSNESS OR RIGHTNESS.
AND YOU CAN'T PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE IN YOU.
AN APPLE TREE CAN ONLY MAKE APPLES BECAUSE GOD HAS MADE IT
AN APPLE TREE.
AND SO, IT'S FOOLISH TO TEACH PEOPLE TO BEHAVE RIGHT IF
THEY'VE NOT FIRST RECEIVED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD
THROUGH CHRIST.
THAT'S WHY JUST WHAT I REFER TO AS RELIGION AND I DON'T MEAN TO
BE RUDE BY THAT BUT WHEN I TALK ABOUT "RELIGION" I'M TALKING
ABOUT JUST FOLLOWING RULES AND REGULATIONS AND GOING THROUGH
FORMULAS THAT REALLY HAVE NO LIFE AND NO POWER IN THEM.
JUST KEEPING LAWS THAT YOU THINK ARE GOING TO PLEASE GOD WHEN
REALLY JESUS DIDN'T DIE SO WE COULD ALL HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE
BRAND OF RELIGION.
HE DIED SO WE COULD HAVE AN INTIMATE, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD THROUGH HIM.
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS THE THICK, 3 FEET THICK CURTAIN
THAT SEPARATED, THAT WAS IN THE TEMPLE THAT
SEPARATED THE HOLY PLACE FROM THE MOST HOLY PLACE
WAS RIPPED FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM AT THE MOMENT THAT
JESUS DIED.
WHY NOT FROM THE BOTTOM UP?
THERE WAS A POINT BEING MADE.
IT WAS TOO TALL FOR MAN TO REACH IT.
IT BEING RIPPED FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM WAS CLEAR INDICATION
THAT GOD WAS OPENING UP THE WAY NOW FOR THE COMMON ORDINARY
EVERYDAY PERSON TO ENTER INTO THE HOLY PRESENCE OF GOD
AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.
WE DON'T JUST NEED RELIGION.
AND SO, RELIGION SOMETIMES JUST GIVE YOU A BUNCH OF THINGS TO DO
BUT NEVER TEACHES YOU WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
NOW, I WENT TO A CHURCH FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS
AND ALTHOUGH I LEARNED SOME VERY GOOD THINGS, THEY HAD A GOOD
MESSAGE ABOUT GRACE AND I LEARNED ABOUT BEING SAVED
THROUGH GRACE.
AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT DOCTRINAL THINGS,
THE VIRGIN BIRTH AND LOTS OF REALLY, REALLY GOOD THINGS.
BUT NOBODY EVER TAUGHT ME WHO I WAS IN CHRIST.
I NEVER FELT ANY BETTER ABOUT MYSELF AT ALL BECAUSE I HAD
A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
I STILL JUST THOUGHT THAT I WAS THIS TERRIBLE MESS THAT JUST
COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST MESS UP
EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE.
AND SO IN 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES,
IT SAYS, "HE THAT KNEW NO SIN BECAME SIN THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST."
NOW, IT'S JUST IMPORTANT FOR ME TO TAKE A MINUTE AND LET YOU
KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN THEN GOD VIEWS YOU
AS BEING IN RIGHT STANDING WITH HIM, IRREGARDLESS OF WHAT
YOU DO.
AND I KNOW THAT'S REALLY HARD FOR US TO WRAP OUR HEADS AROUND.
YOU THINK, "WELL, WON'T THAT JUST GIVE PEOPLE A LICENSE
TO SIN?" NO, BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING,
ONCE YOU KNOW REALLY WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST AND THE BEAUTY OF WHAT
HE'S DONE FOR YOU, SIN IS THE LAST THING THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO WANT TO DO.
YOU'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN TO PLEASE GOD, NOT
TO BE RIGHT WITH HIM BUT BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN MADE RIGHT WITH HIM.
AMEN?
SO, NO CONDEMNATION OF THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST.
SO, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT
STANDING WITH GOD AND YOU'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF WALKING THAT
OUT IN YOUR LIFE.
THERE'S SEVERAL WAYS THAT I CAN SAY IT BUT I CAN SAY IT WE'RE
ALWAYS IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING WHAT WE ALREADY ARE.
SO, WE'RE SPIRIT.
SO SPIRITUALLY, WE'VE BEEN MADE RIGHT WITH GOD.
BUT NOW IN OUR EXPERIENCE WE'RE LEARNING HOW TO WALK THAT OUT
WITH GOD.
I MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHEN I AM BORN AGAIN, BUT THEN I
GET ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE MAKES
OUR PATH BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER EVERY DAY.
NOW, LET'S JUST GO BACK TO PSALM 23 HERE.
"HE LEADS ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS NOT BECAUSE
I'VE EARNED IT BUT FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL."
NOW, HERE'S THE MESSAGE THAT I WANT TO GET ACROSS TO YOU.
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING AND YOU'RE ON
THE RIGHT PATH AND YOU'RE GROWING IN GOD.
YOU'RE PRESSING ON IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOUR PATH IS
BECOMING BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER EVERY DAY, THAT DOES NOT
NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU WILL NOT PASS THROUGH WHAT THE BIBLE
CALLS, "THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF DEATH," WHICH BASICALLY
JUST MEANS HARD TIMES.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: SO WE'VE GOT TO GET
RID OF ANY KIND OF THINKING, "WELL, YOU KNOW I'M DOING ALL
THIS STUFF AND I'M TRYING TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND THE RIGHT
THINGS NOT HAPPENING TO ME AND I'M JUST TIRED OF THIS SO I'M
JUST GOING TO QUIT AND GIVE UP."
WE NEED TO LEAVE THE TIMING OF OUR RESULTS IN GOD'S HANDS.
OUR JOB IS NOT RESULTS.
OUR JOB IS OBEDIENCE.
WE DO WHAT WE DO NOT EVEN TO JUST GET A RESULT, BUT BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT WE BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO DO AND WE KNOW THAT
IF WE DO WHAT IT IS RIGHT, WE WILL HAVE PEACE AND, LISTEN TO
ME, THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE CAN EVER FAIL AND NOT BE DELIVERED
IF WE'RE DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.
IF YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED IT'S FOR ONE OF
TWO REASONS.
EITHER YOU'VE OPENED THE DOOR BY DOING SOMETHING STUPID AND YOU
LET THE ENEMY IN OR YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT AND THE ENEMY'S
MAD ABOUT IT AND HE'S TRYING TO COME AGAINST YOU
TO GET YOU TO STOP IT.
AND YOU DON'T NEED TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE IT IS, YOU
JUST PRAY AND ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU IF YOU'RE WRONG, KEEP
SHOWING YOU IF YOU'RE RIGHT AND EITHER WAY, I'M GOING TO KEEP ON
KEEPING ON AND I'M GOING TO COME OUT WITH THE VICTORY
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU THOUGH.
FATHER, I PRAY FOR EVERYBODY HERE, THEY'VE BEEN SUCH A GOOD
ATTENTIVE CROWD TONIGHT.
I PRAY, LORD, THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER THIS AND NEXT TIME
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING DIFFICULT OR IF THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH SOMETHING DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS WORKING
SOMETHING GOOD IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS GOING TO WORK OUT GOOD.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT GOOD.
LEAD ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YEA THOUGH I
GO THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO
EVIL, GOD, FOR YOU ARE WITH ME.
GINGER: SO, WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU CAN DEPEND ON GOD.
AND WE SHOULD, SIMPLY BECAUSE WE SO DESPERATELY NEED HIM.
AND HE WANTS TO BE THERE FOR US.

Top 10 Things Luigi Can Do But Mario Can't - Duration: 7:10.
Luigi has always been in the shadow of his plumper mustachioed brother.
Mario, who is practically the face of Nintendo, is responsible for much of the video game
giant's success, especially in North America, while Luigi, despite making his debut in the
early days back in 1983, has been regulated to a supporting character at best most of
the time.
But Mario's taller, green brother has a lot that makes him stand out, too!
Aside from his height, that is.
So today, we're counting down the top 10 things Luigi can do that Mario can't.
10 Invisibility When Super Mario 64 was ported to the DS,
it took some liberties on the original title.
You start the game off as Yoshi, having to save Mario, Luigi and Wario from Bowser.
You can also get something called the Power Flower, which gave each character a special
ability.
Luigi's was that he turned into Vanish Luigi, which made him invisible; he could pass through
objects and foes unnoticed, without any damage.
That being said, yes, Vanish Mario was a thing with the original, but with the port, it was
an ability exclusive to Luigi, and Mario hasn't been able to do it since.
9 His Smarts Now we're not saying that Mario isn't
a smart fella.
But Luigi on many occasions has often boasted some more smarts than his brother.
One example, in particular, is in the game that was his first starring role; Mario is
Missing, a 1993 educational game for Windows, the NES and the Super NES.
While it definitely hasn't made the ranks as one of the most memorable Mario games in
the franchise, it does feature Luigi travelling around the world to find and return stolen
treasures as part of a quest to find Mario.
Essentially, it's a geography game.
And you know who ACES THE S*** out of geography?
Yeah, Luigi.
He saves his brother.
What a guy.
8 Fly Sure, Mario in the past has had access to
a bunch of power ups that allow him to fly.
But, what Mario needs a power up for, Luigi can do innately.
Well, sort of.
In Super Smash Bros, Luigi has an ability called the Luigi Cyclone that allows him to
fly up in the air.
While Mario has an almost identical move, called the Mario Tornado, the difference between
the two is that when Luigi uses the move, he can move sideways while doing it, and that
Mario only slightly ascends.
Plus, the Mario Tornado was nerfed in Melee.
Plus, if you use the Luigi Cyclone and the Green Missile special move together, you can
maneuver Luigi in the air.
7 Better Aim Hurling fireballs is something that Mario's
been able to do for a long time now.
The fire flower, which first appeared in Super Mario Bros in 1985, gives Mario the ability
to shoot fireballs, but typically, those fire balls tend to drop to the ground and bounce,
which sometimes makes aiming them slightly difficult.
Luigi, on the other hand, shoots fireballs in Super Smash Bros, but in a straight line,
unaffected by gravity, making them significantly easier to aim, with it bouncing if it hits
a wall or the ground.
Sometimes, precision is everything, friends.
6 L Shaped Capsules Sometimes, victories come in small bite shaped
sizes.
As are the L Shaped Capsules, the pill capsules that are exclusive to the Dr Luigi game that
was released in the Nintendo eShop in celebration of 30 years of Luigi.
More on that shortly, though.
Dr Luigi, while being fairly similar to Dr Mario, introduced the L Shaped Capsules which
added more complexity to the game, requiring players to plan ahead better while playing.
So perhaps from this we can glean that Luigi is much more strategically minded than his
popular sibling?
Maybe?
5 Feel More So this is something that most players wouldn't
really be able to gauge from simply playing a Mario game.
According to several people who have aided in developing Mario games, Luigi's got a
wider span of emotions than his iconic brother.
During the press tour for 2013's Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, quite a few things were
said about Luigi's span of emotions.
Brian Davis, a gameplay engineer at Next Level Games that co-developed Mario family soccer
games for the Gamecube and Wii, said, "With Luigi you can also explore a wider range of
emotions."
His colleague Bryce Holliday noted, "He's kind of the underdog in the shadow of his
brother.
So he kind of has that fearful tension that always surrounds him.
Our animators have had a lot more fun kind of getting a wider range of emotions through
to the player than Mario will.
He just kind of does his pum-fist and jumps up.
After 10 hours of pump-fist, it might be too much."
Yoshihito Ikebata who was the supervisor of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, has said, "Luigi,
by nature, is sort of a little bit of a fearful and clumy character, so that's something
that provides a lot of opportunity for gameplay."
4 The Year of Luigi Luigi had a WHOLE YEAR devoted to him.
In 2013, Nintendo decided to boost up their favourite Player 2 character by running a
yearlong promotion called The Year of Luigi, in celebration of 30 years of Luigi.
It was also in celebration of the ushering in of several Luigi based games, most prominently
the sequel to Luigi's Mansion, Dark Moon.
Other games included New Luigi U, a game that didn't include Mario at all, Mario and Luigi
Dream Team, and Dr Luigi.
Now, to be fair, Mario does have his own national annual holiday, but hey, getting a whole year
in your honour because Nintendo felt guilty for not highlighting you as much is still
pretty commendable.
3 The Negative Zone In Super smash Bros Brawl, Luigi's final
smash is the Negative Zone; a large void with a greenish tine surrounds him, and inside
the void, everything becomes inverted.
Anyone caught inside the void fall victim to a random assortment of afflictions.
Luigi, who dances while all this is happening, is unaffected by the effects of the Negative
Zone.
While you can escape the Negative Zone by rolling out of it, they also have to deal
with effects the likes of reduced attack power, a likelihood of tripping, a damaging flower
growth on their headsm dizziness, times slow effect, sudden sleepiness, and uncontrollable
taunting.
It can also cause weight reduction, which means if you're hit by Luigi, his attacks
can be as strong as finishers.
2 Fight Ghosts Perhaps the coolest ability that Luigi has
that his brother has never exhibited is the fact that he's practically a ghost buster.
Thanks to Luigi's Mansion, a game in which Luigi navigates a haunted mansion in order
to save his brother, we got to see Luigi's abilities when dealing with the paranormal,
or rather opposing it.
Luigi has a Poltergust 5000, which he uses to suck up ghosts; something Mario has never
been able to do.
Can't jump on a boo, now can you, Mario?
1 Jump Higher It may be one of the smallest differences
logically speaking on this list, but jumping higher is actually a pretty big deal, as far
as a Mario game is concerned.
Mario was first introduced in the Donkey Kong arcade game as Jumpman after all.
In the 1986 sequel Super Mario Bros 2 (otherwise known as Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels),
Luigi first became a more distinguished character from his brother, with his movement no longer
being identical to Mario's.
Instead, he could jump higher and farther than Mario could, but at the expense of movement
response and precision.
Prior to this, Luigi had just been a clone of Mario in previous games, simply a palette
swap of his brother's in order to provide a secondary character in the games.
There we have it friends!
Are you guys a Luigi fan, or do you prefer Mario more?
Or perhaps Yoshi is more up your alley?

There's Literally Nowhere In The US Where You Can Escape Corporate Pollution - Duration: 3:02.
We all know that if you're in a big city, if you're in a New York or a Chicago, or an
L.A. or a place like that, you're going to be confronted with a lot of ozone pollution,
most of which is coming from massive corporations or factories or refineries or power plants
near the cities.
Well we all think that we can get away from that, right?
We can escape, we can go to the mountains, we can go to a national forest, get away from
all this pollution and breathe some clean air.
Well, according to newly published scientific papers, you can't do that.
In fact, there is literally nowhere in the mainland United States where you can go to
get away from corporate pollution.
According to newly published scientific studies, the pollution in national parks here in the
United States has now gotten just as bad as in the big cities.
So whether you're sitting right next to an oil refinery or sitting in the middle of Joshua
Tree Forest, you're going to basically be breathing the same amount of pollution.
That should terrify the hell out of everybody here in the United States.
Here are the list of places that have recently been studied to contain almost as much pollution
as a major city that deals with traffic and factories and everything.
Acadia, the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, Joshua Tree, Sequoia, Kings Canyon,
and Yosemite.
All of those places are now just as polluted as a major city.
You can't go anywhere in this country anymore and actually breathe clean air.
You can't breathe fresh air.
It is all polluted because of the activities of corporations and the everyday activities
of human beings.
Driving our cars.
If you're not driving an electric, yeah, it contributes to these bad air days.
Now the report does say a little bit of good news because between well basically 1990 to
2016, air quality in the United States has improved by 31%.
Unfortunately, that study cut off in 2016, and studies have shown us that in 2017, for
the first time in decades, air quality in the United States got worse and emissions
actually rose instead of falling.
Things are getting worse under this administration.
And if it's already so bad to the point where you can't go to a national park that's 100,
200, 300 miles away from civilization and not breathe in corporate pollution, how much
worse can it get?
That's a terrifying prospect, and unfortunately, due to the leadership we have right now in
this country, it's a prospect that pretty soon, we're all going to be facing as a reality.

Can This Tournament Help Fix US Soccer? - Duration: 6:20.
It's no secret the United States has
a long way to go as a football nation.
When we missed the World Cup in 2010.
The backlash and the outrage was enormous
but so was the call for change.
So much of what we need to fix has to start
at the base of youth development
and so much of what we need to do to improve
can be seen right here.
We're at the inaugural ICC futures
tournament with better days ahead for U.S.
soccer are taking roots.
Eight of the top European academies,
eight MLS academies,
and eight all star teams have convened
in Orlando, Florida.
For a chance to compete
and learn in a truly professional environment.
For any soccer player in the U.S. that aspires
to become a professional ICC Futures
is the opportunity of a lifetime.
It was something we'd been talking about for about
a year and a half to start doing something
on the youth side that would have an impact
and help player development here in the US.
There's 24 teams
and eight groups of three teams.
I wanted to have one team from
each category in each group so we have
a team from Europe.
An MLS team and a All Star Team.
Our players never in their lives
they would think that they would come to something like this.
To play against against a team like that.
It's been a great experience.
We actually got to play against Celtic. That
was a good game kind of a blow
but it's the experience that you want to play against
the best.
But it's not just for the players.
This tournament gives a chance for coaches to learn
from some of the world's best.
Better coaches equals better players
and better environment.
So having an opportunity like this event
to watch some of the best talk some of the coaches
are very important.
These players are very impressionable
and if they're able to see
and sense from some of the best in the world at
this age it gives them targets
and it also allows us to understand where
we are in our process.
It's a good experience knowing how the other team plays
and now we know where we are compared to
them.
Some of the European teams,
we've learned playing against them.
We learn what
they have done right, with the groups and their teams.
We
want these young players to be
treated like they would if they were professional players
and put them into situations where
they're playing in front of people.
It's being filmed,
their doing interviews they're getting
a feel for what life will be if they
hopefully continue on the path towards
being a professional soccer player.
To make sense of just how big an opportunity
this tournament is for players in the U.S.
we only have to look back a short while.
The academy system in the U.S. is only 10
or 11 years old 2007 right,
that's when it first started?
You imagine a tournament like this 10 20
years ago?
Not in a million years not
and it wasn't even on my radar.
To see something like this
and to see Arsenal here, and to see Chelesea here
and Cletic here.
It's unbelievable.
I'm on my way to watch Illinois Allstars play against
European giant Tottenham Hotspur.
These Illinois players are some of the most talented in the country
and yet many of them can't find a club
or academy that helps them grow in a professional
environment.
But now they're about to play against one of the most famous
academies in the world.
And just like that Illinois goes up, just go to show the quality there is
in these All Star teams.
I think the expectation going into the tournament was that the European
teams would dominate especially against the
All Star teams that would struggle a bit.
But it just hasn't been the case.
I think that the difference in quality
isn't as big as we had thought.
Coming into this tournament,
I said okay Arsenal,
Chelsea FC,
these guys are gonna blow these guys away.
It hasn't happened. It hasn't happenend.
Penalty to
Spurs saved by the Illinois
All Star keeper.
After an hour our game still
tied at 1 so we are entering
penalties let's see how the Illinois team can hold up against Spurs.
Illinois falls to Spurs in penalties
but they did take them to the limit.
They showed what they're made of they showed their talent
and it shows what this tournament is about
and how much these players can showcase
themselves on such a big stage.
While ICC Futures is the perfect representation of
what is possible in youth development.
This level of soccer just isn't the norm
yet in this country.
What you think is the big difference
between the European academies
and these American academies
and American teams.
Obviously length of time,
many European academies
have been around for such a long time.
It's a very new concept in the
US and it's going to take a while to catch up.
Many of the coaches I saw in my time
were coaching from an American
football standpoint you are starting
now to see coaches in coach
know from a soccer standpoint which
is a completely different animal altogether.
I think there were some fundamental differences in
terms of possible facilities,
environment in general.
But I do think in those areas that we're making great strides.
Another amazing aspect of this tournament
and possibly the most important is that none of
the teams or players have to pay a dime
to be here.
While so many players are priced out of the game
in this country,
ICC wants to make sure that if you're good enough
you're given an opportunity.
The issue is the cost of
soccer in the US.
Our kids can't afford to be in an academy program because of the cost.
There's
a lot of great talent out there.
We just have to find it
and it's got to be affordable for them.
Some of these academy teams are expensive are to play in
or are maybe not nearby
and so their not able to make that drive
to one of these academies.
We paid for all the travel
and hotels
and food
and Puma provided all the uniforms
and the shoes for all the players on the All-Star
teams.
We partnered with Rakuten as well,
and between Rakuten
and Puma they really made this possible.
The idea here
with the All-Star teams is
at the age of 14 there's a lot of kids
now players who are on a pathway
to professional soccer
with the MLS development academies.
But there's also good quality players
in every state who are not playing
at that level and it gives a chance for
those players to be
seen.
As You can see ICC Futures is like
nothing we've ever had in this country before.
These players and coaches spent the week in Orlando
competing with some of the most talented U
14 players in the world.
The United States is still growing as a football
nation, but Futures signals a
clear step in the right direction.
In the second part of this two doc series, we're
gonna get into the action
and examine what's happening on the field at
ICC Futures.

That yellow Tang is sweet.
This is making me want to get a salt water tank.
Alright, so we got what we want, let's go.
Alright, so we got what we needed at petco, the frozen food for the fish.
Now I'm about to show you something that's going to be a great tip.
So here's what I'm talking about about that tip, bring an ice chest and a little bit of ice
and then go ahead and put your frozen food into your ice chest so it doesn't melt on your way home.
Now I didn't realize that they had the big, big one today.
So that's not gonna fit in there, but the small ones will, ready to go.
Now we need to get it home and you can't get frozen krill and brine shrimp and not feed
them to the fish.
So let's go back to the fish room and let's feed some of the big time predators and some of the Common Haps.
All right, so we made it back.
As you could hear, Zoe is barking in the background, but we made it.
We are back to the fish room and it is time to feed those predators and the common haps.
So what do you guys think?
Do you think the Lepturus Green are going to go insane over the Krill?
What do you guys think?
Whoa.
Did you see that?
Did you guys see that?
look and these guys, the Lepturus Green. WOOHOOWOO!!
That dude is huge.
look at this guy.
It's got some food in its mouth.
I'm pretty sure that that's a male right there.
It's a big, big one.
It just showing me signs of male and that one also might be male that's going up in
the corner there.
I don't know.
I might have got a all males.
I don't know.
WOOOO haha dang that boy nice.
Can't not feed the hawks.
Let's see what they do.
This dude got some of that Krill, ate it like crazy.
The Lepturus Green got some as well.
And boy they are messy.
Messy, messy eaters.
um, This tank is just going crazy.
Just going crazy stuff everywhere, hahaha.
Look at these dudes.
And I want to give a shout out to um, to Corey Hecker.
I heard him on one of his videos say the Champsochromis Spilorhynchus.
Spilorhynchus.
So instead of saying Spilo, I'm going to say Spilorhynchus now because there's one right
there.
And there's another one right there, two Juvies.
This guy's looking great now, going to get him into the back into the tank.
These guys are looking great as well.
And so are these guys, WOOO.
I do love the common haps, the colors on them are just spectacular.
Look at this guy oh me oh my.
Man Isn't it a lot of fun to feed your fish, especially when you feed them something that
they love.
Like I mean they love all food, but like when you give them this frozen krill it is awesome.
They love it.
I just, it's a lot of fun to watch them just go after it.
Um, got some good footage.
Hope you guys enjoyed that.
Um, let me know in the comment section down below.
