Pressure to Purpose: The Power of Trusting the Process

[00:00:00] when she walked into that doctor's office and they told her that this was such a high-risk pregnancy and it was her third high-risk c-section and that she immediately had to terminate this pregnancy and the doctors warned her that she wasn't going to make it.

[00:00:20] And she did mention that parallel of, you know, I know that this is not God's plan. And she just looked him square in the eye and said, no, I am not doing it because I love this baby. This baby is safe. It is warm. It is exactly where it needs to be. And if I go, if we have to go, then we go together.

[00:00:48] Ooh, that's better, right babe? Yeah! She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company. She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur.

[00:01:18] Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between. Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. Quote by Booker T. Washington.

[00:01:46] You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Quote by Maya Angeloum. Welcome to another great episode of the Entrepreneur Parents Pretty and Punk Podcast. My name is Dan Caldwell and I'm here with my co-host and beautiful wife. Ildiko Ferenzi. Hi guys. And we have another great podcast for you guys. And we wanted to talk about the pressures to purpose.

[00:02:14] The power of trusting in the process when you're doing something great. When you're on your way to your purpose. And how you just feel like everything is coming against you. And I know there's so many people out there who are in that place, in that season of their life, in that place in their life right now. And they're struggling trying to figure out how they're going to get through it. And we've been there. Both of us have been there. And we understand what you're going through.

[00:02:43] And so we just wanted to talk about that. And really talk about what's helped us get through it. And what might help you guys get through it too. But before we jump into that. Hey guys. We hope you're enjoying today's episode of the Pretty and Punk Podcast. And if you are, and you haven't already hit that like and subscribe button. It just takes a second. It means so much to us.

We want to celebrate you because we know it's not easy being a parent in business. And the way that you juggle things makes you a superhero. That's worth a shout out. Together, we have a community of our personal followers as well. And we just want to put it out there. We want to show everybody that this juggle is possible.

[00:03:41] And you are our family. And we're so proud and grateful to have you a part of this family. So don't forget the sh- all the links are below in the show notes. And thank you again. And let's get back to the show. Listen, if you're in the fire right now, don't run. Because God's not trying to burn you. He's, he's refining you. And here's the simple fact of it.

[00:04:11] What if the pressure you're under right now isn't punishment, but preparation? In this short and mighty episode, we're going to unpack the spiritual journey of Jesus. And Dan and I were talking about this earlier, just some of the things.

[00:04:31] And obviously, it's a whole different level of the love for us and what Jesus went through this holy week.

[00:04:42] But I feel like not only us, but a lot of families in our community, it just, it's, it's just a great conversation besides our prayer of lifting the veil of how we can take such example of what Jesus went through from Gethsemane to the tomb to the glory.

[00:05:07] And how you, as an entrepreneur parent, can be shaped in the same divine pattern. And we can talk about how to endure the pressures and embrace the silence and experience the resurrection power on the other side of obedience. And it's, it's, there's so many different things that we get to go through.

[00:05:36] And I say get to, because sometimes we get to experience pressures or we get to experience pain and, and loss.

[00:05:44] And it just shakes us back to reality of reminding us that Jesus loved us so much that he didn't have to go through this stuff, but he chose this stuff to go through so that we could just feel, because some of us feel like we're all alone.

[00:06:07] We don't all have the support or even the understanding, sometimes from our spouses, from things that we've gone through in life. And we know that we're able to lean into our faith and truly understand that there was someone human that experienced more pain, more suffering than, than we'll ever know.

[00:06:31] Even though it was hard, even though it was hard, losing our loved ones or a child or, or, um, defeating an illness or going through whatever we're going through right now. It just gives us that comfort and that love and that we're not alone. I went a little bit off track, but I know a lot of us are going through things right now. And I just want you to know that it's not for nothing. Okay.

[00:06:58] In the, in the very end, there is glory. And then now we share the, the story to bring other people in, to know the, how truly loved they are. So let's buckle down and, um, and jump into this episode. Well, I think some, what's so powerful is that, you know, that even Jesus asked for that, you know, well, in scripture, he says,

[00:07:24] my father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. That's how hard he had. I mean, that, that says it all right there. We've all been in that place. And I, and you know, yeah, I don't want to compare my story to that because, you know, sometimes, but when you're going through it, When you're in the middle of it. Yes. I feel like, well, I find, I think the way it plays on me is like, shoot my, what I'm going through is nothing like what he's gone through. Yes. But, yeah.

[00:07:53] But when I, but when I think about it, when you're in the middle of that storm, it's, it's weighing on you so much and you don't see a way out. When I was, when, when I quit both of my jobs and I thought, this is what I'm supposed to do right now. Everything is great. I mean, we're, we're making money. Things are growing. It's time to quit. You know, I'm going to quit my jobs because I can do, I had, you know, I had these two jobs and a full-time job and a part-time job.

[00:08:23] And I'm going to quit them both so that I can go build my business full-time. And just as I did that, everything came against me and us. And we, we didn't have the money to keep going forward. And I didn't have money to eat and pay rent. The things that all come, you know, all these things that we're supposed to be doing and, or need to do.

[00:08:51] And I just felt like, oh, you know, I wanted to go get my jobs back at that moment. But thinking about it, just thinking how people have so, you know, people are, they're losing family members. Or they're going through health problems that they can't fix. And, and how am I complaining about this when people are going through so much worse? And especially reading that scripture, people are going through, you know, Jesus went through so much worse.

[00:09:21] And so how can I complain at that moment? That's all I was, that's what, that's what I like to think about when I'm in a moment like that. Yeah, I love the vulnerability of sharing that. I know in the last few years of my mother, she wanted to share that story with me. And it was so powerful to me. She wanted to wait until I was ready for it about how, when she walked into that doctor's office

[00:09:49] and they told her that this was such a high risk pregnancy. And it was her third high risk C-section and that she immediately had to terminate this pregnancy. And the doctors warned her that she wasn't going to make it. And she did mention that parallel of, you know, I know that this is not God's plan.

[00:10:17] And she just looked him square in the eye and said, no, I am not doing it because I love this baby. This baby is safe. It is warm. It is exactly where it needs to be. And if, if I go, if, if we have to go, then we go together. But I just feel it. I know it, that this isn't, this isn't God's plan. And she said yes to life. And because of her faith, I lived.

[00:10:44] And now I get to be a mother when I was never even supposed to become. And just the way that she spoke powerfully and prayed over me and those examples of not feeling sorry for herself and just truly putting her faith where in God. Now I've been blessed to become that mother, to be able to put those words over my baby and our family.

[00:11:14] And it's just, it's amazing. And even in the times, you know, when we were talking about it, how, how Jesus felt abandoned. And I thought, you know, I remember that there was times in my life I felt so abandoned. How could someone that was my hero, someone that was supposed to protect me, just leave me as a little girl? I look at my daughter and I just couldn't imagine anyone doing that to her.

[00:11:41] And it just, it really hits me when Jesus felt so alone. And then, you know, losing my brother who, that, it just, there's no words to heal the ache of losing anyone in your family. So I just, I really, my heart goes out to people that have lost loved ones.

[00:12:06] And as, as this beautiful community, we know what it's like to hold bait, hold businesses and babies and broken pieces all at the same time. And just to understand that we can lean into something greater and, and we're going to be okay. And then not even that, but at the end of it all, we have the playbook.

[00:12:30] We have the blueprint to help others that are still stuck in the fire and we're bringing buckets of water. Nothing is more powerful than that. I can't even speak it's so powerful. Well, yeah, it's, you know, it is. And it's just about, we say trusting the process. And I know it's a lot easier to say than it is to live through that and live by that. But it's true.

[00:12:57] We have to go through those, those processes make us stronger sometimes. And I feel like it's the perfect plan. Don't you always feel like it's the perfect plan? Like you go through stuff when Charles was killed. Yeah. I feel like I needed to go through that. Right. To become the person that I became. Yeah. And. That's right. You, you sometimes need to go through that minefield. You need to go through that. Well, it's probably not the best that you need to go through that storm. Mm.

[00:13:27] And whether that storm and trust in the process, because when you come out on the other side, you're going to be the person who can actually do the things that you need to do. Yeah. I mean, and we don't think about those things. We don't think about that when we go through those hardships that we're meant to go through it, because we don't feel like we're meant to go through it. Lots of times we feel like we made a mistake or God's made a mistake and God don't make mistakes. No.

[00:13:54] But we think that there's some mistake that I'm here in this storm right now. Like, I did something wrong. But maybe you were meant to go through that storm because you need to trust the process, or you need to trust the process and go through that storm so that you can become the person that you're meant to become so that you can take on that challenge that you're meant to take on

[00:14:18] or complete that purpose. And it takes a special type of person to do some of those things. Yeah. You're trying to become that person. Yes. I don't think it's by accident. Listen up, friends. You don't want to miss this one. It may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Are you an entrepreneur, a parent, or someone building something that truly matters?

And in some way, I mean, it makes sense to me that suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning. Meaning makes pain survivable and even transformational. And again, a help to other

[00:16:26] people around you. And that divine intervention, you know, you meet someone. Have you ever met someone someone that you don't even know in public, in a public place or maybe a restaurant or wherever you are? And something inside of you just feels like, I need to say hi to this person. And then you start

[00:16:50] a conversation and they're going through the very thing that you've already gone through. And all they needed to hear was just that you've gone through it and that it's going to be okay. I mean, it's never okay, but sometimes you just need to connect with that person that's going through that very thing to know that you are strong enough to, to make it through. And I don't want to say that

[00:17:17] it's never going to be okay because it is going to be okay, but the pain will always be there. I, I was listening to someone the other day say that either loved one passed away when they were just a child and that they fell apart in the car two weeks ago. I needed to hear that because I feel so

[00:17:40] guilty because people look at you a certain way. Why are you still grieving? Your brother died when you were little. Why? Like it should be over. You're not normal. Why do you feel sad? So I've held that inside first of all to protect my mother because if I fell apart, she'll for surely fall apart for years. I did not cry about it. And sometimes I cried in silence and I needed this

[00:18:06] person to say that, yes, I fall apart sometimes and it's good and it's healthy. And I, I, when I feel like it, I do it. And my children know it's okay. And what a great example that is of I've fallen apart for other things in front of my children when I was fighting the fight of my life. And I said, it's okay. But I think I just needed to hear that about my brother, past pain.

[00:18:34] I think you also said that you didn't get to really grieve when you were younger and probably because of that, you know, you carry a lot of that with you and it's always going to be carried with you because it kind of got ingrained in, in, inside of you, you know, you never got to. I wanted to be strong for my mother. Yes. Well, yeah. And she was probably being strong for you too.

[00:18:57] Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I just, I feel like if you feel called in public to talk to someone, to go talk to them because you'll be so surprised of the conversations that come up. And not only is it healing and strengthening for them, it's, it's the same for you to know, wow, this person is going through that very thing or, or very similar. And I don't think it was by accident that we were,

[00:19:25] we may never talk again. We may never see each other again, but that's, that's called a divine intervention where you guys give each other this beautiful energy and this love and this support. And it's meant to be, it's a bucket of water for someone in the fire. We were just talking about, uh, yesterday, um, you know, no, nobody wants to go watch a movie where everything's perfect, you know, like from the beginning, you know, it's just like he, he got

[00:19:52] there, he figured all these things out and then he made it, made all this money and he had the perfect family and perfect marriage, the perfect kids and the perfect job and everything was easy. What a great movie. No, they don't give awards out for that. They don't give awards. They don't talk about the scenes. They talk about the scenes that were ugly, that were painful, that were heartbreaking.

[00:20:17] I'm, I'm, uh, writing a speech and getting ready to, you know, just dive all this stuff into the book. And I said, I, I don't really know where to start because I've had a lot of things happen. And so what do I focus on? Do I focus on the one thing? And they said, this is fire. This is amazing. This is such a blessing because they want to put the book down. Then they got to pick it back up and

[00:20:45] they're crying and they're, they're rejoicing with you in there. It's a great thing to have these things because people can relate. That's why they go see the movie. That's heartbreaking. That's terrifying. That's awful because they find themselves in you in the secret things. They don't even want to breathe out loud. So I was just telling him how, or Dan, how, um, how, when we're talking about the book

[00:21:15] that it's gold, it's gold. And, and I, I feel like it's a hard thing, but you have to be excited that you were chosen to share these things with others. It's a blessing. We were talking about it for the podcast. You said something about that. I think it was in your notes or something. You were saying that, um, that we're, we're obligated to share these things. Yes. That's the thing.

[00:21:40] We have to share these things because other people need to hear it. They need to know that they, and, and, and I always felt that. And, and, and for different reasons too, I needed, I needed, I always say that I needed to see other people's success to realize that I could be successful too, but, but this also, I need to see that other people were able to get through the storm. Yes.

[00:22:06] They were able to get through all the things that they were going through, that they were carrying all this weight from and, and still come out on the other side because it made me feel like, because they did, I could. And now I feel obligated to put out what I went through so that other people can find themselves in that story and they're able to get through those things too. Yes. And I know you are too. Yes. You need to cross that river. If, if someone sees that you were being,

[00:22:33] you were able to cross the river, they know that it's possible for themselves. If, if they, they feel like they're never going to smile again, because sometimes we have those moments, right? We feel like we're never going to be happy again. A relationship has broken. We're never going to smile again. And then God goes and he surprises us and he gives us such joy. I never thought I'd. I love that analogy when you're talking about the river, because it's true. Like if you're watching

[00:23:01] people walk through, you know, through the river and then you see them get washed down the stream. Yes. Um, you're not necessarily just going to run up in that river right now. You know, you might, you might be like, well, maybe there is another way around to study the one that has, but if you saw somebody muscling through and pushing through and, and, and maybe lose their footing a little bit, slide down a little back up, you're like, wow, he was able to get back up.

[00:23:26] Like he didn't just wash down the river. He's able to get back up and dug to the bottom of the river, found that, that embedded shrub that is so flimsy and tiny, but it held his way and you see the tactical, how they overcame the divorce, how they overcame their child's death, their parents' death and all the things that we feel we may just not be able to carry. And then the miracles that come

[00:23:56] to, to just give people the hope that yes, there's miracles. Sometimes things happen in life that have no true explanation, but it's an, a blessing. And that brings people to faith saying, well, if you had a miracle and you had a blessing like that, it's possible for me. I mean, we see so many people, especially with these couples that are facing infertility for years and it's not

[00:24:25] always an overnight success. It wasn't for us. And, and here we are, we have two miracle babies. And that was one of the blessings when I thought I would, after losing, you know, someone I loved so much, the smile that my son gave me, gave me that, I filled that empty hole where my, my brother passed away and it just, I've never felt so much love. And you guys can attest to this, whether you have or

[00:24:53] haven't lost anyone that you loved, there's no greater love than a child's and innocent baby that, that, you know, we're called to pour into and care for. There's nothing more healing and loving to truly feel that love. That's, that's a blessing from, from God himself. Yeah. And you need to share your miracles. You need to share your blessings because that's the

[00:25:20] very thing someone needs to hear. Yeah. When Charles passed away, I, I remember just thinking, you know, why, why is this happening? Why, why are we going through this? Um, we had, we had done two, see, you know, we had another season of our TV show and it got canceled and, you know, all he, he wasn't done. I felt like he wasn't done. He wasn't done. Yes. And we, he had so much more to

[00:25:49] accomplish and so many, but, but when I looked back, I, I realized that he had come so far and that he had done so much and that, um, even his, uh, his faith had changed that when, um, when I first met him that he was, he was, he was, he was the very first time I ever met Charles, he had a Bible

[00:26:13] in his hand. Um, but then later down the road, we both got a little sideways and off track and we were trying to find ourselves and going through a lot and dealing with a lot. And he had, uh, lost his dad and, uh, license and his job. And he was, you know, sleeping on a mattress. He was in a rented bedroom. Um, but we were able to come out of that and, and, and grow out of that. We'd come so far

[00:26:40] and he had, I, and I didn't even realize how much he had found faith again in those last days. And, and in, in some ways led me back to faith because I found, uh, a tape that he was listening to, a Joel Osteen tape and, and I started listening to it and in, and it didn't happen the next day,

[00:27:03] but it slowly brought me back to, to a place where I needed to be. And I think that everything just happens for a reason, everything. And I, and I hate to even say in those tragedies, because, you know, you can't tell his kids that, you know, those things happen for that reason, for my reason, you know, I feel guilty to even say that, but I just feel like we're all, you know, going to,

[00:27:33] you know, pass away at some point. And, and so I think that, you know, we're all meant to go through this thing in life and we're leading, we're going in a certain direction and it was just things happen the way they were supposed to happen. And I got to believe that. I got to believe that. Before you reach for that coffee, consider this. What if the energy boost you're looking for

[00:27:58] isn't in your cup, but in your cells, I challenge you to swap your morning coffee for Sheila J by Symbiotica. And here's what can happen. No crash, no jitters, just clean, sustained energy, plus mental clarity and trace minerals that our bodies actually need,

[00:28:21] that are actually starving for, to be honest. This isn't just a supplement. It's an ancient adaptogen sourced from the Himalayas that supports mycochondrial function, stamina, and overall vitality. Your coffee never did that. Okay. Let's just be honest. Try it for a week and tell me your body

[00:28:43] doesn't thank you. Symbiotica's Sheila J is next level wellness. And honestly, you may never go back to drinking coffee. Click the link below down in the bio and get your Sheila J today. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's hard to accept. It's hard to accept because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't

[00:29:07] make sense, but you have to find, you have to find the meaning in it. And I think for myself going through loss and now with my mother and people that I relate to, just my very, very best friends, they're not here anymore. I can't pick up the phone. I can't call them. My advice to people

[00:29:32] is to just don't take your life for granted. It's all a blessing. And then number two, remember, remember that would you rather have never known them at all or, or, or would have had them for the time that you had them. I think this really helps me move through, move through it

[00:29:55] because absolutely I've learned my best lessons from these two incredible people that I love so much. And then number three, I know this for a fact, I feel it every day, not to give up, not to break down, but to keep going for them. They had such an incredible legacy. And David, um, as you were saying,

[00:30:21] being close to God and just being such a shining example and having everybody that had known him say such positive things about himself or, or my mother, it is just proof that I have to live on, live the legacy. Even Daniel, remember when he was supposed to be breaking down and grieving because

[00:30:46] he was so close, his sister and, and, um, and him were so close to their grandmother hours every day, speaking to her, talking to her. And, uh, he had the choice. Listen, he had a huge keynote booked. This was just before she passed. And we get, we say, you know, maybe it's not the time to go,

[00:31:11] to go on stage right now. Maybe, maybe it's not, you know, you can just take the time and, and grieve. And he looked at me in the eyes and he said, no, that's not what grandma wants. That's not what grandma wants. And I, I know, I know that I'm meant to do this. And I know that there's someone that audience that's going through more than I am going through. And this is just a little five-year-old

[00:31:35] boy telling me that he needs to go to help that audience and share his message and, and his, his, his talk to lift other people. And that's because of the things that I've shared about David being so selfless and, and his grandmother and that legacy is already in him. That's the beauty. That's the beauty. And we have to live for these people and we have to live a beautiful life and we don't give

[00:32:04] up because they don't have a chance to wake up the next morning. We do though. So this is an obligation and a responsibility on our half. Yeah, there's a lot of responsibility. It comes with that. You know, I love that. I just thinking about that a second, I, I, I guess I maybe put this together, but I guess because we're talking a little bit about the past, you know, when I first met Charles, his name was, um, he went by David, which was his middle name. And, uh, and that's, that's Daniel's middle name too. And the fact that your brother's name was David, it just like

[00:32:34] really how that all like, I think it feels like that's why all this is coming together. You know, we talk about the perfect plan, right? Because I don't see, cause you always say Charles, I didn't even know that. No, he was called everybody. Everybody knew him as David Charles. Charles. Oh my goodness. And so he was always called David Charles. And I was just, I called him David for the first, I don't know, three, four years that I knew him.

[00:33:00] And, uh, when he went to the sheriff's department for whatever reason, he decided to change his name back to Charles. And so he started calling himself Charles again. Um, I think because they made him put that on his tag when he was in the, uh, Academy. And so that, so he just, he just said, Oh, I'm just going to change my name back to Charles. So I said, I have to start calling him Charles, but I had been calling him David for three years. I wonder if he gravitated, my brother always

[00:33:25] gravitated towards the story of David and Goliath and, and Daniel too. Did he? Well, I just, I mean, I'm sure he did because he named his, um, his son. And I mean, his, his kids had like biblical names. So I'm sure he did, but it's just so crazy how it all comes together. Like how all this is working together. You got to think that there's divine intervention here.

[00:33:50] You got to find the gold and the treasure in, you know, it just, just speak. Remember the great memories. Remember those parallels or things will pop up and it's like, did I, that was I meant to just learn this? This is, you can find joy in the pain. And, and that's a thing. There's the Gethsemane moments. And then there's the tomb moments where everything goes quiet and you're

[00:34:13] hoping it's being rebuilt in the silence or your marriages. There's a lot of weight on marriages. We didn't even start talking about the marriages, but I feel like the conversations that we had today, I really hope that it, it touches someone that needed to hear it. But, but even I just want to just, just for a second, just touch on the marriages that, that seem to be going quiet,

[00:34:39] that are struggling. And even, even parenting, when you feel invisible, planting seeds with no applause and, and building a business that nobody believes in yet. There's all these two moments and then it leads to the glory after that. Right. You're right in marriage because I think so many people give up so early. They're just willing to just give up. Yeah. That's the devil's plan.

[00:35:07] They won't give up on their business or they won't give up on their kids, but they'll give up on their marriage. You know, the first sign of conflict, the first sign of easy for me. This is, you're not making my life easier, but that's not, if you read the Bible, that's not the purpose of marriage. That's not the purpose of marriage. You're supposed to learn the lesson. You're supposed to go through the struggles. Well, it's like starting a business. You know, everybody thinks that you're, you're so

[00:35:34] many, I mean, people, they're starting a business so that they can go right off into the sunset and they think everything is going to be, um, easy peasy, but it's not. And you go into, and you find that out when you're, when you're building that business and the same thing goes with marriage. Yeah. Is there going to be a time that, yeah, it's going to be easier? Of course. Yeah. Or it should be, or I hope it is, but it's, it not always is. But at the beginning, I mean, at, there is a time

[00:36:04] when you have kids and maybe you're going through other struggles and it's all working against you and it's going to work against your marriage too. And you have to put in the work and you have to be willing to go through that storm and come out and keep riding through it. And there will be brighter days. You will, you know, you will get on the other side of that mountain at some point. Yes. Yeah. I agree with that. And I just wanted to go over a few things since we're wrapping up

[00:36:32] things that you can implement today. Hi, I feel like it would be nice for you guys to sit down with your family and name this season. What, what is the season that you're going through? Are you going through the Gethsemane, um, season with pain and pressure journal? What's crushing you and, and surrender that in prayer? Say it out loud, not my will, but yours. And then number two,

[00:36:57] the tomb, the silence and the stillness. Keep, keep sowing, keep watering it. Make a list of the seeds that you're planting at home and in your marriage and your business. And then lead that to the, to the glory, the breakthrough and testify, share your resurrection moment with someone else who's still waiting for theirs. I think that that's really, really powerful to do. Um,

[00:37:24] and then number two, create a family anchor at dinner tonight, or maybe even before bed. What's one thing, name one thing for everybody in the family, every member, what's one thing that we're trusting God for right now? Come to agreement on what you're trusting, what you're trusting God for right now. Yeah. I think, I think you always got to be thankful. Whenever you're thankful, whenever you're in that mode, you know, thankful for your

[00:37:52] blessings and you, you think about those things. That's always helped me get through those harder moments because you think about what, what is going good in your life, what's working for you in your life, what's, uh, what you're grateful for in your life. And when you're, when you're in that, that gratefulness mode, um, you, you tend to be able to get through those hard times. Especially, yeah. Especially in the pressure, the pressure moments that, that's so important. You're thinking about what you have instead of what you don't have.

[00:38:21] Yeah. And then, um, also that second step for creating your family anchor, what can we do together this week to grow no matter, no matter how it feels, but what, what can you do to grow whatever season you're in? Um, and then number three, speak life daily printed or write it down. And then here's just something that you can say each morning. If you're

[00:38:46] not already doing it, I am not forgotten in the pressure. God is preparing me in silence and I will rate rise. I will rise in his timing with power, purpose, and peace. So entrepreneur parents hear this. You're not behind, you're not broken, you're not buried, you're being planted

[00:39:09] and beautiful things are going to come of this. So just trust the pressure, trust the silence and trust the process because resurrection, resurrection always follows obedience. Yep. Trust the process guys. You guys are going to get through this. You guys got this. We believe in you. We love you so much. Listen, Hey, if, if I can get through it, if she can get through it, you guys can get through whatever you're going through. I know a lot of people are going through stuff. You're all in

[00:39:39] different places in your life, but every, everybody's going through something. Just know that you're not alone. Everybody on Tik TOK with those, you know, standing in front of their nice cars and, and showing off their watches and their beautiful lives and their vacations, whatever. Trust me, they are going through something. Yeah. They're all going through something. And if they're not right this second, they will be. Yeah. Everybody has their time and God gives you the strength within you to

[00:40:06] overcome these, these blocks. God does his deepest work in the dark. Remember that. Don't forget it. Trust the process guys. Trust the process.
