31
:All right.
32
:What is it?
33
:Man, so we launched recently, right?
34
:Yes.
35
:And we are now being listened
to in the United States, right?
36
:That's expected.
37
:That's where we are, right?
38
:I would hope we'd have a
couple of listeners here.
39
:My mom's listening.
40
:Check this out.
41
:We have two other countries that

42
:Rev: Mexico.

44
:Stu: All of you people
from Canada and Mexico.
45
:Yes.
46
:We appreciate you all being

:Mac: here.
48
:And go tell all
49
:Rev: your friends.
50
:How do you say going rogue in Spanish?
51
:Oh my gosh,
52
:Stu: I should have prepared.
53
:Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
54
:Mac: ha, ha, ha, ha.
55
:Andale, andale.
56
:Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
57
:Let's go fast.
58
:Rev: ha.
59
:We should
60
:Stu: just stop, because we're not going
61
:Rev: to get it.
62
:No, we're not about to lose
our audience in Mexico.
63
:Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
64
:Mac: ha, ha, ha.
65
:Okay, I'm done right there.
66
:You're right.
67
:Okay, good.
68
:Enough said there.
69
:All right.
70
:Yeah,
71
:Rev: that's
72
:Stu: really cool.
73
:I'm really excited that we've reached
people outside of our own country.
74
:That's amazing.
75
:We're all one.
76
:We're all
77
:Rev: thinking about the same
things and ready to go to places
78
:where no one's gone before.
79
:Mac: Well, it's going to get amazing.
80
:It will become amazing.
81
:It's already amazing at how
much there's a common resonance.
82
:It doesn't matter where.
83
:You live in another country,
live in or whatever.
84
:Okay.
85
:We're of the human, we have the human
condition no matter where we are and, and
86
:we're going to resonate with one another.
87
:So it's, it's really exciting to
hear these stories that come from
88
:not necessarily our home culture.
89
:So, uh, thanks for listening.
90
:Really, really want to hear your voice
91
:Rev: too.
92
:Absolutely.
93
:Get on that blog and get on that.
94
:Get in the cafe, definitely,
95
:Mac: and let us know how this is
running through your grid, your
96
:cultural grid, your, you know, faith
grid, your whatever grid, okay?
97
:Um, it's, it's a lot, it's fun,
and that's what this is all about.
98
:So here we are, and
again, I'm gonna update.
99
:Uh, guys, okay, here, gonna run
a little bit of a rabbit trail,
100
:a little bit of a rabbit trail.
101
:I know I kind of prepped you a little
bit for this already, but, uh, before
102
:we again get into this episode, we
just did an episode on, uh, and we
103
:called it on the unthinkable God.
104
:Right.
105
:We just, we just did that episode.
106
:And so in that episode, we gave
some perspectives that were a
107
:little bit different maybe than
the mainstream, you know, how we
108
:tend to look at God, if you will.
109
:And we did mention, we're
going to do a followup on that
110
:too, which is going to be fun.
111
:But in that same vein, as we're
thinking about God, right.
112
:And you know, the character
of God, I couldn't help this.
113
:I just want to throw it out.
114
:So here's a really good example of
how Some look at God and this is what
115
:we were talking about last episode.
116
:So here was a headline that I saw
this week and you know, Lakewood
117
:church out in Houston, Joel Osteen's
church, huge, big mega church, right?
118
:Oh yeah.
119
:And they had a shooting there.
120
:Tragically, I mean, a little
guy, little guy got shot.
121
:Um, and you know, those
kinds of things are tragic.
122
:I don't care where, where it happens.
123
:And we've seen this before and it's
not like it's unique to a church
124
:unfortunately, but here's the headline.
125
:That followed, you know, not, not from the
church, but from a publication out there.
126
:And here's what the headline
said Why did God allow the
127
:Lakewood Church shooting Why?
128
:Why did God allow that?
129
:And this, you know, this speaks to
the bigger, why does God let bad
130
:stuff happen to good people or what
has God let bad stuff happen, period.
131
:Did
132
:Stu: the article answer that question?
133
:Well, yeah.
134
:See,
135
:Mac: here's the thing about that.
136
:You know, when you pose a question
like that, then you expect that the
137
:article is going to have an answer.
138
:Right.
139
:Wouldn't you think?
140
:I mean, you know, hello.
141
:All right.
142
:Um, and of course there is no answer
to that, all right, that just isn't.
143
:And yet I would propose that that's just
totally asking the wrong question, right?
144
:That for us to even ponder how
to answer that question is an
145
:adventure in missing the point.
146
:And it has absolutely, it skews the
whole scenario into, again, a capricious
147
:God that, why didn't he stop that
shooting and stop, but stopped that
148
:one or that one over there or what's
different about, and I don't mean just
149
:church, I mean anything, you know,
or any calamity or any catastrophe.
150
:So You know, again, the, when you
read these kinds of things, the
151
:reason I'm bringing this up, we're
not going to spend that episode on it.
152
:I just wanted to tie it
back to the last episode.
153
:When you read something like this,
I encourage you, my encouragement is
154
:just discount it, discount it on down.
155
:And if you want to read the article,
that's fine because really the
156
:article talked about pain and
suffering and how do you deal with
157
:the unknowns and stuff like that.
158
:And again, you don't come up with an
answer, but maybe it makes you feel good.
159
:You know, you're not alone and
struggling with that kind of stuff.
160
:But, um, what do you guys think, you know?
161
:Rev: Well, sometimes
162
:Stu: it, it, like, the way I think about
this is like, Uh, stop sign and a lot
163
:of times I don't stop for the stop sign.
164
:I keep going because I want to, I don't
want to be stopped in my thinking, you
165
:know, like a phrase comes up or some
trigger point, maybe a trigger phrase,
166
:trigger word, something that might stop
me from continuing and I might be able
167
:to get something out of this article.
168
:You know, you never know at
a minimum I can relate to
169
:maybe the person who wrote it.
170
:Here's the thing that I, that
I, that I think about with this.
171
:God was there, of
172
:Mac: course, we said in
the episode, didn't we?
173
:Stu: Right.
174
:That's what we, when we were
talking about that and unthinkable
175
:God, I mean, God, God was there
and that's, and that's comforting.
176
:What happened isn't, doesn't feel good.
177
:It isn't comforting, but you can
at least find some comfort in
178
:knowing that God was there with you.
179
:Rev: Yeah.
180
:Agreed.
181
:Well, I'd like to look at that article.
182
:You know, I don't want
to discount anything.
183
:I want to get into the skin and the mind
and the heart of the person who put that
184
:title out there and begin to seek to
understand before I go ahead and judge
185
:that it's an old concept, an old idea
of God that has to die at some point.
186
:So let me just try to crawl
into that guy's heart and
187
:see where he's coming from.
188
:Why is a really dangerous question.
189
:Why would God allow?
190
:I think a better question is who am I
meant to be with what has happened here.
191
:And so I will be more kind and
try to understand this guy's
192
:mindset and maybe make a brother.
193
:Maybe reach out to him and say hey if
you thought a different way see sometimes
194
:being a rogue isn't about discounting the
other It's about opening up a field and a
195
:bridge to connect with the other And maybe
you know a lot of people are standing
196
:on the top of the mountain yelling down
at the people that are in the valley I'm
197
:saying I'm gonna come down to the valley
I'm gonna grab the guy's hand and let's
198
:walk up the mountain together and get
to a higher reality and a higher concept
199
:so discounting the article it may be
very foreign to me and alien, but Hey,
200
:maybe there's something for me to learn
here and, uh, where the two minds come
201
:together, something greater can emerge.
202
:True.
203
:I
204
:Mac: love that.
205
:I do
206
:Rev: too.
207
:That's great.
208
:Stu: And I, and I know what we can do.
209
:We can send him a link to the unthinkable
God episode and see if we can inspire
210
:him maybe to see things a tiny
211
:Rev: bit differently.
212
:You know, some people
put things out there.
213
:Maybe this guy's just a rogue
and he's putting it out there to
214
:poke the whole religious world a
little bit just to get a reaction.
215
:That could be.
216
:Mac: Probably not, not where the article
came from, I don't think, but anyway.
217
:It's all possible.
218
:Uh, but you, you know, you bring
up a good point that, um, you know,
219
:if, if you're willing, and sometimes
I'm not, I have to admit, sometimes
220
:I'm not, sometimes I read stuff like
that and I go, here we go again.
221
:Right.
222
:Same old stuff.
223
:You're already filtering.
224
:Yeah.
225
:I'm
226
:Rev: already, yeah.
227
:I'm already filtering.
228
:That's not where you start, Mac.
229
:It's where you end up.
230
:So go ahead.
231
:Be human.
232
:And then move to a higher perspective.
233
:Stu: As long as you keep
moving forward, that's what's
234
:Rev: important, right?
235
:What are we,
236
:Mac: what we're talking about?
237
:One of the memes tonight
about falling forward.
238
:Yeah.
239
:Stu: Failing.
240
:Rev: Failing forward.
241
:Failed with
242
:Mac: purpose.
243
:Right.
244
:Yeah.
245
:Let's talk about the memes.
246
:Come on, let's get into the memes.
247
:So anyway, that's that.
248
:So we'll just bring it in.
249
:Thanks guys.
250
:Those, that's great.
251
:Those are great perspectives.
252
:So, all right.
253
:Memes.
254
:Tonight's episode is, is entitled
The Wisdom Nuggets, right?
255
:That.
256
:We really try, whether it's in our
conversation here on, you know, in
257
:the episode on the podcast or in
the other things that we might do,
258
:whether it's a blog post, whether
it's a commentary or whether it's a
259
:mean that will put out very regularly.
260
:And we have a it's really
fun how we collaborate on.
261
:on those little memes.
262
:And if you're following us at all,
you're going to see them out there
263
:on our, our, our Facebook page.
264
:We push them out to Instagram.
265
:We push them out to, uh,
X, you know, Twitter.
266
:Um, and, and they're just.
267
:You know, we don't sit down
with a purposeful intent.
268
:Let's see, I gotta do a meme today.
269
:Okay, let's see.
270
:What's on, you know,
what am I going to do?
271
:No, it's, it's, it's whatever strikes us.
272
:If something comes along that just
moves our heart, something we're
273
:reading or something we heard or a
conversation that we had with somebody.
274
:If there's a poignant little message in
there, um, you know, we'll try to push
275
:a meme out by because maybe we're hoping
that as you look at it, as you read it, as
276
:you ponder it, maybe something will click.
277
:Maybe just meet you right where
you're at at that moment and
278
:whatever's going on in your life.
279
:or somebody else that you can,
that you can pass it on to.
280
:I'm not going through that right now,
but you know, my sister is, my brother
281
:is, my friend is my, you know, whatever.
282
:Okay.
283
:And it's just one of
those little reminders.
284
:We like to think that they're wisdom
nuggets that, that if you do ponder
285
:them enough and they get a little
pithy and we try to do that on purpose.
286
:All right.
287
:Uh, that's okay.
288
:Um, But, but there's, there's
really a lot of depth there.
289
:And what we want to do tonight, we just
thought we'd have some fun with this, that
290
:we sort of pick some of our favorite ones.
291
:If we could even do that.
292
:I don't even know that I can
call them our favorite ones.
293
:We just had to limit it somehow
because the episode is only so long.
294
:So we're just going to share, you
know, some of these memes that we've,
295
:um, that we've done, uh, with you
and, uh, You know, we'll go from,
296
:you know, we'll go from there.
297
:Let's see what we got.
298
:If I can find,
299
:Rev: you know, we live in a
soundbite society and people are
300
:looking for something simple,
short, sweet to remind them.
301
:It's just like a jolt to the
heart, like a paddle going on.
302
:They're giving you an electric shock.
303
:Oh.
304
:I forgot!
305
:Now I remember!
306
:And this little meme, this little
idea, which seems meaningless on the
307
:surface, when you dig it down and you
drill it down, oh, there's great meat.
308
:There's great water and sustenance
309
:Mac: there.
310
:Yeah.
311
:And we hope so.
312
:We really do.
313
:And if there isn't, that's
314
:Rev: okay.
315
:We do it for somebody else.
316
:That water's
317
:Mac: for somebody else.
318
:Exactly.
319
:Exactly.
320
:So, let's, uh, Stu, you want
to start with one of these?
321
:Yeah, how about that
322
:Stu: one right there?
323
:Go for it.
324
:Celebrate the differences.
325
:Covet the
326
:Mac: sameness.
327
:That's the headline, right?
328
:That's the tagline.
329
:It's up there.
330
:And the tagline is?
331
:Yeah, give up the comparisons.
332
:Give up the comparisons.
333
:So, celebrate the differences.
334
:Covet the sameness.
335
:Give up the comparisons.
336
:Yeah, I
337
:Stu: love this one because the way
I would love for everyone to, to
338
:be in relationship with one another
is to look for ways to connect.
339
:Right.
340
:That's the, the covet,
the sameness, right?
341
:You're going to, no matter
how different you are and the
342
:differences are beautiful, right?
343
:Cause it'd be a very boring
world if we all were the same.
344
:Right.
345
:But unless we were all stew, right.
346
:That would be awesome.
347
:Just
348
:Rev: kidding.
349
:Yeah.
350
:Mac: Let's ask your wife about that.
351
:Stu: Let's not do that.
352
:Yeah.
353
:But covet, covet the sameness to me
is, is it, the way I read that is I'm
354
:looking for a way I can connect with you.
355
:Yes.
356
:And I'm going to find it because
I'm looking for it, right?
357
:Right.
358
:And when I see things that are different,
I'm going to celebrate those, you know,
359
:cause it, cause I think that's amazing,
but I'm going to, you know, when I find
360
:that connection, that's what that's,
that's how I can really feel comfortable
361
:with anybody that comes my way.
362
:Rev: This world is full of bridge
builders, like you, like me, like
363
:the three of us sitting here.
364
:Yeah.
365
:And there's more people out there.
366
:And when your mindset, people
who are looking to build a bridge
367
:will find other bridge builders.
368
:People who are looking to judge
will find reasons to be judgmental.
369
:And I'm saying, what
makes heaven on earth?
370
:It's, it's building the bridge.
371
:It's finding my brother or my sister
who, uh, wants to play in the playground
372
:with me, with the three of us at a
place that it certainly works a hell
373
:of a lot better than the judgment.
374
:We've got to suspend our judgments.
375
:We're going around judging
everybody as bad or as wrong.
376
:Well, that's just tearing the world apart.
377
:Stu: You know, what I see too much
of is if you flip this, what I see
378
:too much of is covet the differences,
celebrate the sameness, right?
379
:Yeah.
380
:Isn't that what you're, you
see too much of that again?
381
:I don't want to leave it at that.
382
:We want to celebrate the
differences, covet the sameness.
383
:Mac: Yeah.
384
:And I ran into this in my personal
life here just this week with a little
385
:bit of a conflict with an individual.
386
:You know, there's also this expectation
that we, whether it's society that places
387
:it on us, whether it may be our religion
or our faith walk or our tribe or even
388
:ourself, and really what we're told,
and it's the struggle that says Wow,
389
:you know, that just isn't working right
that and and I have to make it right.
390
:Sometimes you can't and sometimes
it just doesn't get right.
391
:Now, how do you deal with that and
how do you not feel guilty about it?
392
:It is an interesting walk.
393
:It's an interesting contemplation
about how when you do have a conflict
394
:with somebody and they're just so
dang hard to love that you just.
395
:You just can't get there, you know,
and we like to maybe default to where
396
:we want to, you know, point fingers
or demean or that kind of stuff.
397
:And I'm not talking about that.
398
:I'm just talking about being okay with the
fact that just, just ain't working, man.
399
:Rev: You know?
400
:All roads are gonna lead to you.
401
:You know, Alan Cohen once said, uh,
something to the effect of, It's
402
:not the insult that bothers us.
403
:It's the part of ourselves
that agrees with the insult.
404
:So if somebody's pushing my buttons,
I got some healing work to do.
405
:I got some introspection to do
to go, Why am I so angry or upset
406
:or judgmental about this person?
407
:Quick, turn the judgment inside as
opposed to outside of you and then grow,
408
:heal, actually heal from some deep, deep
409
:Mac: wound.
410
:That
411
:Rev: person just was the actor that you,
you hired to play a role to tick you off.
412
:Mac: That is a very
413
:Stu: healthy way
414
:Rev: to look at things.
415
:I'm going to go through
the hiring process.
416
:I'd love to say I live there all the time,
but I may get an hour a day out of it.
417
:Mac: Oh boy.
418
:So love it.
419
:So celebrate the differences.
420
:Cover the sameness.
421
:Give up the comparisons.
422
:And, you know, these are
out there on the site.
423
:Not all of them are yet, but they will.
424
:Before you
425
:Rev: go, you know, the, the Buddhist teach
that comparison is a state of argument.
426
:An argument is a state of suffering.
427
:So if you peel that onion back and
get to the roots, our own suffering
428
:is caused because we are not able to
do what this meme is actually saying.
429
:I'm comparing your outsides to
my insides and I'm gonna suffer.
430
:Mac: Wow.
431
:Oh, yeah.
432
:A doggone riff.
433
:I think
434
:Stu: my mind's blown on the first one.
435
:Okay, yeah.
436
:I'm
437
:Rev: already convicted.
438
:I can do any more.
439
:You know, if I compared my outsides to the
coach there, I better get back in the gym.
440
:Let's do it.
441
:I'm ready.
442
:Oh,
443
:Mac: let's see.
444
:I'm going to find one in here.
445
:Okay.
446
:Uh, this is one of my, uh, Yeah,
this is one I kind of like.
447
:I mean, we just did it recently,
so that's why it's maybe a little
448
:bit top of mind, but, and I wish
I could take credit for this.
449
:I can't.
450
:Um, Brian McLaren, um, coined this.
451
:So I won't go into the details about
where I read it from and stuff like
452
:that, but I'm giving him credit.
453
:Okay, Brian McLaren, if you
haven't ever heard of him or
454
:you don't know him, Google him.
455
:All right.
456
:He's a great guy.
457
:And here's the meme.
458
:Try being a thermostat
instead of a thermometer.
459
:And then the tagline is
control your energy efficiency.
460
:Try being a thermostat
instead of a thermometer.
461
:And when I first read that, I
was like, Oh, that's brilliant.
462
:Because most of us are thermometers.
463
:We just take the temperature of
whatever's going on around us, right?
464
:And react.
465
:In whatever way, you know, that we do.
466
:Our
467
:Rev: lives have become
effect rather than cause.
468
:And so we give all the power
away to what's going on in the
469
:external world and the way somebody
behaves, the thing that they said,
470
:and now the effect is I'm upset.
471
:What this meme is saying is be
the cause of your own reality.
472
:Mac: Yes.
473
:Be
474
:Rev: the one that creates
the greater expression.
475
:Turns the heat up if you want,
or turns it down if you want.
476
:But quit giving all the
power away, be cause not
477
:Mac: effect.
478
:Yes.
479
:Yes.
480
:That's brilliant.
481
:You
482
:Stu: like that?
483
:Yeah.
484
:I don't even want to comment.
485
:I want to leave it with that.
486
:That is so, cause that is
487
:Mac: brilliant.
488
:And one of the reasons why I did this
meme, um, and picked up on what Brian was
489
:saying is because here we come into a very
contentious political year in America.
490
:I don't know.
491
:Again, you may be Canada and Mexico.
492
:You guys got your own thing going
on, but I'm sure you can relate.
493
:Right.
494
:But you know, we're, We're coming
into a season here of, of, of a
495
:lot of anxiety, a lot of media, you
know, stuff that's, I mean, a lot
496
:of this stuff, and we, if we're not
careful, we're going to end up being.
497
:We're going to end up just reacting
to the heat as it gets turned up.
498
:And that's, that's not the way to have
the poise to be able to navigate it well.
499
:Right?
500
:Stu: Well, there's one thing I know
for sure, because the tagline says
501
:control your energy efficiency.
502
:It's much harder.
503
:It takes a lot more
energy to be angry, right?
504
:And mad.
505
:And to have those feelings than to just.
506
:Yeah.
507
:Loving and kind and I
mean it's so much easier.
508
:So why not just choose the, yeah,
509
:Rev: here's the catch that whole thing.
510
:We are the cause whether we like it or
not, whether we're conscious or not.
511
:And so if angry people are showing
up in our field, guess what?
512
:We got an anger problem on the inside
that we're attracting those people.
513
:You know, the world is living a whole
bunch like a piece of driftwood.
514
:We're a piece of driftwood subject to
the wind and the waves of the ocean
515
:tossing us to and fro and we need to
find something to anchor to, something
516
:to ground to, to keep our center when the
angry people show up, when the frustrated
517
:people, when the mean people show up,
I'm so connected to something greater
518
:that I'm not going to go with the wind
and the waves of the external reality.
519
:I'm going to be of the
veritable presence of the Christ
520
:Stu: is what I would say.
521
:And here's where you elevate yourself.
522
:When you're able to,
despite being who you are.
523
:To change the mood.
524
:The area you're in, which
we'll have those people there.
525
:And you might just be able to
bring the temperature down just by
526
:being you, which leads us to our
527
:Mac: next meme.
528
:That's the coach with the practice
529
:Stu: plan.
530
:Rev: No seconds, no seconds
531
:Stu: are wasted.
532
:Here we go.
533
:You ready?
534
:So here's the next one.
535
:The world constantly
tries to make you not you.
536
:Sometimes you just have to
throw down the gauntlet, right?
537
:So think about this, that the
world right now, especially.
538
:Is trying to make us be other people.
539
:Right.
540
:But this is going to sound like
a cliche, but, but it's so true.
541
:You are the only you that will ever exist.
542
:Right.
543
:And why hold that?
544
:Like, why hold that back from people?
545
:Like people need to experience you as you
546
:Rev: are the gospel of Thomas.
547
:Uh, which is one of those Gnostic
Gospels that got kicked out
548
:because it didn't fit an agenda.
549
:But it says basically, bring
forth that which is within
550
:you and it will give you life.
551
:And if you don't bring it forth,
it's going to destroy you.
552
:Mac: Hmm.
553
:Harbor?
554
:Harbor some stuff?
555
:Yeah.
556
:It's
557
:Rev: saying take control.
558
:Be yourself.
559
:Be fully you.
560
:Be the God essence that's
chosen to express at the
561
:point of view or you're dying.
562
:Mac: Period.
563
:Well, you know, there's a lot of stuff
going on out there about, you know, you,
564
:you are enough and you know, love yourself
and all of those are good concepts.
565
:Don't get me wrong.
566
:I'm, you know, a lot of people out there
are helping people in those realms, but
567
:I think what, what, you know, what you
just heard the Rebs say, what you heard
568
:coach Stu say that we have the ability.
569
:innately to control this, all right, that,
you know, there is a beautiful essence
570
:within each one of us that we can't afford
to let get tamped down, that we can't let
571
:get, afford to get conformed to the norm
or to the tribe or to whatever culture.
572
:I mean, it's okay to be part of all
those things, but the minute that's
573
:your identity and that's who you are,
then you're really not you anymore.
574
:That's true.
575
:You know, your individuality
576
:Rev: is necessary, not just for your
own expression, but for the planet.
577
:You're not an accident.
578
:And when you shut it down,
you're saying God doing business
579
:as me is not good enough.
580
:Right.
581
:So let me just fit somebody else's
mold and fit into their box.
582
:And you're just actually telling
the universe you create junk.
583
:No, no, no.
584
:God doesn't create junk.
585
:God creates necessary components
to make the world fantastic.
586
:Stu: And I know that I, when I
was younger, I was trying to be
587
:the me that other, I felt other
people wanted me to be right.
588
:And I thought that was just something.
589
:That was true when I was
younger, but guess what?
590
:Like this happens with adults too.
591
:It doesn't matter the age or the decade.
592
:But I have to end with something fun.
593
:Then we can go to the next meme, right?
594
:So you can't talk about
this meme without a Dr.
595
:Seuss quote.
596
:Okay, you ready?
597
:Today you are you.
598
:That is truer than true.
599
:There is no one alive
who is you er than you.
600
:I love Dr.
601
:Seuss.
602
:Mac: You er than you.
603
:So I think that might be a
good place right there to
604
:just sort of Exhale into that.
605
:You er than you.
606
:Nobody, nobody's you are than you and
you are a beautiful what it's to say
607
:in the very beginning of the podcast,
beautiful, exotic cocktails, you and
608
:we, and we can't, and we, we got to give
credit where credit's due there too.
609
:Right.
610
:We love that saying and we've said it
for years, but we heard him say it first.
611
:Rob Bell.
612
:Yeah.
613
:Rob Bell said it first, right?
614
:We've seen him several times.
615
:Rev: I'm thinking of
that scene from the help.
616
:So we got the movie guy across
from me here, but there's that
617
:scene when the woman is talking to
the kids saying you is beautiful.
618
:You is necessary.
619
:You is important.
620
:You is intelligent.
621
:Everybody needs to hear that.
622
:Yes.
623
:You, the you that God created is, is
necessary and worthy and full of, full
624
:of light and love and absolutely don't
waste one ounce of your breath, your
625
:Thought your hearts, your being, your
body to make this world an amazing place.
626
:So
627
:Stu: two quick thoughts with that, because
that, that is an amazing, that's amazing.
628
:Right.
629
:Is one, be that person that says that
to somebody, don't just keep it in your
630
:head or in your mind, or I thought it
of somebody and I'm not going to say it.
631
:I'm holding it back like
unintentionally probably, but don't.
632
:Like say it.
633
:And secondly, if you're not having
anybody say it to you, look in
634
:the mirror and say it to yourself.
635
:Mac: Right?
636
:Why not?
637
:Yeah.
638
:Or replay this podcast
episode over and over again.
639
:Because why are you looking in the mirror?
640
:Right in front of
641
:Rev: your mirror, stand there
naked with the three rogers.
642
:Mac: I didn't say that.
643
:I love you, man.
644
:I love you, man.
645
:Uses you.
646
:All right.
647
:We're going to leave you with that cause.
648
:It's being
649
:Rev: calm.
650
:Sorry, Mac.
651
:It's you gotta be the cause of
a new reality for the world and
652
:not the effect of the world.
653
:Oh, there you go.
654
:Stu: There's a
655
:Rev: new
656
:Mac: meme.
657
:It's all good.
658
:It's all good.
659
:We love this.
660
:This is so fun.
661
:So take that.
662
:And, uh, we'll be right back.
663
:Hang on a sec.
664
:All right.
665
:Welcome back, uh, to going rogue
and our walk through our memes
666
:and hopefully you're getting some
wisdom nuggets out of all this.
667
:Cause you know, we, we, we titled
entitled, you know, with wisdom in the
668
:title because at the core of it, I think
you can find an attitude of the mind and
669
:an attitude of the heart that helps you.
670
:Become more wise if
you'll ponder something.
671
:No, you're not going to
relate to every one of these.
672
:We get that.
673
:Okay.
674
:I mean, you know, but at the same time,
if it's not these, then what medium
675
:do you use to help you stimulate You
know, those kinds of perspectives that
676
:help you make better decisions that
you become more wise over and able
677
:to navigate life a little bit better.
678
:So, hopefully we're adding
to that list for you.
679
:Just little tools you keep in your
680
:Rev: toolbox.
681
:Right.
682
:And they're at the edge of your mind,
the edge of your life, and you can
683
:pull them out when you need them.
684
:Sometimes you're not going to need
a screwdriver, you need a wrench.
685
:Yep.
686
:You know, just find the
tools and keep them close.
687
:Mac: Absolutely.
688
:And there's, I think I, I do have a
meme in there somewhere in the whole
689
:mix of the hundreds that I've done
that said, no, the difference when
690
:you need a wrench or a, you know, or
the sledgehammer, you know, also know
691
:which right, the right tool to use.
692
:But anyway, I digress.
693
:Rev: If the only tool you've got is a
hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
694
:That's exactly,
695
:Mac: that's right.
696
:So, uh, all right.
697
:So here we go.
698
:Here's, here's one of my favorites.
699
:This is one of my favorites.
700
:Here's what it says.
701
:Unzip your fly, go ahead.
702
:I'm waiting.
703
:Go ahead.
704
:Go to just follow me.
705
:Go ahead.
706
:Unzip your fly.
707
:Now resist the temptation to zip it up.
708
:Think with that for a little second.
709
:Then here's the tagline.
710
:Welcome to the other side.
711
:Hmm.
712
:Rev: Let it all hang out, baby.
713
:Everything you've got, let it all hang
714
:Mac: out.
715
:There it is.
716
:Okay.
717
:Just, just think about the vulnerability,
especially guys more than girls.
718
:I am a women and females.
719
:I understand this.
720
:Okay.
721
:But you peel back the onion
here a little bit gang.
722
:I think, you know, you're smart enough.
723
:You get it.
724
:All right.
725
:I don't really have to walk you down
through with by the hand, but when
726
:you unzip your, Norm, when you unzip
your covering, when you unzip that
727
:thing that hides, you know, you,
um, you know, you're vulnerable.
728
:You open yourself up in a
way that five seconds before.
729
:When you're, when it was
zipped up that you weren't.
730
:So what does that do for you?
731
:A again, do you have an immediate thing
that says, Oh my gosh, my flies open zip?
732
:Or are you willing to set with that a
little bit and go to the, what we'll call
733
:the other side of your thinking, the other
side of the norm, the other side of the
734
:tracks, the other side, that's a journey
that We encourage everybody to take what
735
:Stu: I think about and where the growth
occurs for me is when somebody else points
736
:it out Oh, I may see it and think, okay,
yeah, this is what I want right now.
737
:I'm here.
738
:And then someone points
it out and like, Oh.
739
:I've been noticed, right?
740
:We see you.
741
:We see you.
742
:Like, what do you do then?
743
:That's, that's where the real growth
744
:Rev: occurs.
745
:And the zip up isn't
because somebody saw me.
746
:It's because I'm afraid of
what they're going to see.
747
:So it's my own fear.
748
:You know, there's, there are tribes
in the African continent that
749
:greet each other with the greeting.
750
:They don't say hello, how you doing?
751
:How are you?
752
:They say, I am here to be seen and the
response is I see you and I am here.
753
:Wow.
754
:This
755
:Stu: sounds just like Avatar, the movie.
756
:That's right.
757
:I see you.
758
:That's how they greet
each other in that movie.
759
:And I always love that.
760
:Cause it's exactly what
you're talking about.
761
:I
762
:Rev: see it's a world that's authentic.
763
:We kind of live in a fallacy world.
764
:It's a fake world.
765
:It's this, this movie that we've created
of what we think other people can handle
766
:Mac: about us.
767
:There's insight right there.
768
:That's beautiful.
769
:Yeah, I like it.
770
:So that's awesome.
771
:We're challenging you gang.
772
:Go ahead.
773
:Yeah, even if you want to just
do it in the comfort of your own
774
:bedroom Or your own living room just
775
:Stu: well, you gotta
get you got to get out
776
:Mac: there.
777
:Well, that's true.
778
:That's true, too I agree.
779
:You could start there.
780
:Yes
781
:Stu: Just look in a mirror again.
782
:We're back to the mirror.
783
:Look back in the mirror
and make sure you're okay.
784
:And then walk outside the room and strut
785
:Mac: it.
786
:I gotta be me.
787
:I
788
:Rev: gotta be me.
789
:Mac: I mean, think about it.
790
:One
791
:Stu: thing I've learned over the
years is if you look like you know
792
:what you're doing and you're supposed
to be doing it and you're supposed
793
:to be there, nobody questions you.
794
:Yep.
795
:Rev: Right.
796
:Right.
797
:Confidence in yourself exudes.
798
:Stu: I've walked into so many
places I wasn't supposed to be,
799
:but I looked like I was supposed
to be there and acted like it.
800
:And they just let me go.
801
:Rev: Wedding crasher.
802
:Here
803
:Stu: we go.
804
:I am the ultimate wedding crasher.
805
:I used to crash weddings with my mom.
806
:Story for another
episode, but funny enough.
807
:Okay.
808
:Oh,
809
:Rev: you're going to pull up a stew meme.
810
:How about a stew meme?
811
:A toad stew meme.
812
:stew ever?
813
:Oh my
814
:Mac: gosh.
815
:Here it is.
816
:Go ahead, Stu.
817
:Read
818
:Rev: it, man.
819
:Stu: I'm going to read my own meme.
820
:All right, here we go.
821
:All right, if we, if we learn
from our mistakes, why are we
822
:always so afraid of making them?
823
:Mac: There's a mic drop.
824
:I don't want
825
:Rev: to learn anymore.
826
:I've learned enough.
827
:Mac: You know, this reminds
me of what you just said.
828
:What do you think this reminds me of?
829
:What's that?
830
:Your mom.
831
:Oh, yeah.
832
:Right.
833
:Yeah.
834
:You got to tell
835
:Rev: that
836
:Stu: story.
837
:Okay.
838
:So my, my, okay.
839
:Quick story.
840
:My mom is a Sicilian Italian, right?
841
:Youngest of nine, huge family, right?
842
:Um, does a lot of reading.
843
:There was a friend of
mine that wrote a book.
844
:Uh, and my wife and myself and
my daughter were in the book.
845
:It was a personal growth book.
846
:So I thought, my mom's a big reader.
847
:I'm going to send her this
book, you know, how awesome.
848
:And so I sent her the book.
849
:She calls me up and says, what is this?
850
:I said, this is the book
that I told you about.
851
:My friend wrote it, I
helped her and we're in it.
852
:Like read it.
853
:I'm chapter five, you know, and she's
like, well, what's this book about?
854
:I'm like, you know, it's just
kind of like personal growth.
855
:And she's like, Johnny.
856
:Cause I'm not just coach Stu,
I'm Johnny, Johnny, I like my
857
:issues just the way they are.
858
:And I sat
859
:Mac: there and I was like, huh?
860
:Rev: Like, what?
861
:Stu: I don't have any response to
862
:Rev: that.
863
:Like,
864
:Mac: that's just, that's
just who my mom is.
865
:She
866
:Rev: likes her issues
just the way they are.
867
:And how authentic of her?
868
:Mac: So anyway, I know, that
just made me think of that
869
:Rev: just in a moment, right there.
870
:Yeah, that was,
871
:Stu: that was cool.
872
:But yeah, so, if we learn
from our mistakes, Mac.
873
:Why are, if you learn from your mistakes,
why are you so afraid to make them?
874
:Come on, man.
875
:Mac: Cause a lot of, most of the time
they're painful in the beginning.
876
:Okay.
877
:Go
878
:Stu: back to the beginning.
879
:Yeah.
880
:Learn,
881
:Mac: learn.
882
:Yeah.
883
:That means I have to learn
to react to it better.
884
:All right.
885
:It challenges me.
886
:It calls me out when I don't react.
887
:Here's what I thought this week.
888
:I'll kind of.
889
:Give you some framework.
890
:You know, when I told you earlier that
I was kind of having this challenge
891
:this week with a particular individual
and one of my first reactions.
892
:Now, I didn't do this.
893
:I didn't do it.
894
:Okay, so I'm just telling you
right now that's progress.
895
:That's right.
896
:I didn't do this.
897
:But here was what I thought.
898
:Really?
899
:Well, why did you let
me affect you that way?
900
:It was kind of my internal mind going.
901
:Well, If you have a problem with that,
it's really kind of your problem, not my
902
:problem, you know, I mean, now I didn't,
I wasn't about to pull away from all
903
:responsibility in the, in the, in the
conversation, but at the same time, it
904
:was really more about, again, what, you
know, what do we need to learn as Rev
905
:was already talking about earlier in
order to grow through the experience,
906
:I think that's really what we're,
907
:Rev: you know, when I began to
really grow, cause I was pretty
908
:stagnant for a lot of my life.
909
:Yeah.
910
:Is when I made peace with failure,
when I realized that failure was an
911
:exciting, fun adventure, and that I was
never going to get better at playing the
912
:piano, at singing, at sports, I was never
going to get better if I didn't fail.
913
:So I could stay mediocre.
914
:I could be a mediocre baseball
player, or I could fail, strike
915
:out, and learn something.
916
:And then the next time up the bat,
maybe I'll get it to first base,
917
:maybe a home run is in my future.
918
:There you go.
919
:But I had to make peace with the failures.
920
:They're not bad things.
921
:They're not terrible things.
922
:They're necessary
things, if we're growing.
923
:Mac: So true.
924
:What do you tell your, uh What do you tell
925
:Rev: your wrestlers?
926
:Stu: You know, it's interesting, when
you were just talking, Rev, we have
927
:a sign in our room that reads, in our
wrestling room, that reads 10 80 10.
928
:Have you ever seen this concept?
929
:Okay, so, the 80, the 10 on the
left, are the people that just do
930
:not care to do life or do wrestling
in our case, do sports any better.
931
:They're like, good enough.
932
:They're just good.
933
:Yeah.
934
:Good.
935
:The 80 percent are mediocre.
936
:They're like, okay, like
I'm happy with where I'm at.
937
:I have some success.
938
:The 10 percent on the right are the
ones that are like, they are pushing and
939
:challenging themselves and they're failing
and growing and failing and growing.
940
:So we typically have the
majority of our team in the 80.
941
:And they're happy being there and it's
always a challenge to get them to move
942
:into the 10 on the right Where they're
really challenging and growing because
943
:they have to fail to your point Rev
They have to fail they have to go out
944
:there and they have to lose They have
to lose a match to be able to get better
945
:And of course, we're not trying to
do that But when it happens it allows
946
:us to help them to learn and grow.
947
:Absolutely.
948
:Get to
949
:Rev: the point where you celebrate the
failure, you celebrate the mistake.
950
:And then not only do you grow,
but you, as you mentioned
951
:earlier, everybody's watching
952
:Mac: you, man,
953
:Rev: they're getting better.
954
:I'm going to go ahead and fail too.
955
:And we're going to celebrate it and have
a wonderful party that we all messed
956
:up and we're doing it better tomorrow.
957
:Mac: There we are.
958
:Cause it's the human condition.
959
:For the most part, right?
960
:Try going through life
thinking you're not.
961
:Well,
962
:Rev: all these memes tie together.
963
:If I fail publicly, oh, I've had to unzip.
964
:I have to be completely out
there for the world to see.
965
:I didn't measure up.
966
:Here's
967
:Stu: the thing when you do that and
what I've learned in some of the
968
:smaller groups that I've led is when
you share that, there is at minimum
969
:three other people that are like, I.
970
:Same thing.
971
:I did the same thing.
972
:I had the same thought, whatever it is.
973
:And I didn't know anybody else
did the same thing and had the
974
:same thought until you spoke up.
975
:So by you having the courage to do that.
976
:To unzip and to just
977
:Rev: let it all hang out
permission to become more
978
:Mac: of themselves.
979
:Right.
980
:Oh, you know, well, I think we're
speaking here to something we've
981
:started a theme that we started in
the very beginning of the podcast.
982
:And we're, you know, we don't have that
many episodes there, but it's really,
983
:a lot of it is about, you're not alone.
984
:You're not some of these thoughts
that you might have, or these
985
:attitudes or these experiences.
986
:You know, you're not going through life
all by yourself and we want to offer
987
:whatever encouragement we can and support.
988
:And just maybe it's just a been
there, done that too, gang.
989
:Okay.
990
:And just give you the sense
of comfort knowing that you're
991
:Rev: not, thank God you're the
first one who had the guts to just
992
:put it out there on the table.
993
:Yeah, I can relate.
994
:Mac: All right.
995
:Unzip, just unzip.
996
:Yeah.
997
:Rev: Find
998
:Stu: your people, find your tribe.
999
:You know, when we talk about our tribe.
:
00:37:26,075 --> 00:37:26,275
Yeah.
:
00:37:26,305 --> 00:37:26,435
Oh,
:
00:37:26,435 --> 00:37:27,175
Mac: we got, here we go.
:
00:37:27,195 --> 00:37:28,365
Let's just do this last one.
:
00:37:28,365 --> 00:37:29,864
We have that.
:
00:37:29,865 --> 00:37:30,415
Let's try that one.
:
00:37:30,455 --> 00:37:30,735
Go ahead.
:
00:37:30,745 --> 00:37:30,965
Rev.
:
00:37:30,995 --> 00:37:32,055
What is, what do we got here?
:
00:37:32,405 --> 00:37:32,915
I got to put my
:
00:37:32,915 --> 00:37:33,485
Rev: glasses on.
:
00:37:33,865 --> 00:37:37,115
Your vibe will attract your tribe.
:
00:37:37,655 --> 00:37:39,094
Stu: Oh, I love that.
:
00:37:39,645 --> 00:37:39,965
Yeah.
:
00:37:40,165 --> 00:37:40,825
Yeah.
:
00:37:40,885 --> 00:37:43,845
Mostly because it rhymes,
but it's also cool phrase.
:
00:37:46,045 --> 00:37:49,135
Mac: So, so, so what do you, I
think the first thing that comes
:
00:37:49,135 --> 00:37:52,065
to me in this is what is your vibe?
:
00:37:53,355 --> 00:37:53,525
Right.
:
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:54,415
What is.
:
00:37:54,745 --> 00:37:58,535
The vibe that you put out, you
know, uh, I remember here in Atlanta
:
00:37:58,535 --> 00:38:00,815
years and years and years ago, and
we've, we've, we've talked about
:
00:38:00,815 --> 00:38:02,015
this many times over the years.
:
00:38:02,015 --> 00:38:06,705
There's a big mega church here in Atlanta
and the guy that, that, that started
:
00:38:06,705 --> 00:38:08,115
it and that he's very well known here.
:
00:38:08,125 --> 00:38:09,085
His name's Andy Stanley.
:
00:38:09,605 --> 00:38:13,065
You know, years ago he was in
front of some middle schoolers.
:
00:38:13,065 --> 00:38:15,745
I think it was, um, or
young people anyway.
:
00:38:15,745 --> 00:38:15,985
Right.
:
00:38:16,565 --> 00:38:18,575
And this was what he posed to them.
:
00:38:18,575 --> 00:38:26,575
He said, Are you the kind of person
that you're looking for is looking for?
:
00:38:26,965 --> 00:38:28,005
Stu: Ha ha.
:
00:38:28,055 --> 00:38:28,515
I love that.
:
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:34,090
Mac: Because that's all about your
vibe, you know, if, if, if you want
:
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:41,830
to attract a certain person or a
certain, you know, scenario or whatever
:
00:38:41,830 --> 00:38:44,540
it might be, do you even realize?
:
00:38:44,875 --> 00:38:49,355
How important the vibe that you're
putting out is in that equation.
:
00:38:49,765 --> 00:38:50,235
That's back
:
00:38:50,235 --> 00:38:51,555
Rev: to the first meme we did.
:
00:38:51,665 --> 00:38:53,945
You're the cause of your reality.
:
00:38:53,955 --> 00:38:55,725
You are the cause of your experience.
:
00:38:55,725 --> 00:38:57,875
So I always like to say
angry people are going
:
00:38:57,875 --> 00:38:59,295
Mac: to attract angry people.
:
00:38:59,675 --> 00:39:03,115
Rev: Happy, joyous people looking
for something positive are going to
:
00:39:03,115 --> 00:39:05,535
attract those same kinds of people.
:
00:39:05,575 --> 00:39:05,905
Right.
:
00:39:06,235 --> 00:39:07,195
Well, so that's their
:
00:39:07,195 --> 00:39:07,655
Stu: tribe.
:
00:39:07,855 --> 00:39:08,035
Yep.
:
00:39:08,065 --> 00:39:09,955
I mean, and if they're okay with that.
:
00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:11,070
They're okay with that.
:
00:39:11,170 --> 00:39:15,530
But what I always looked for was
this, there's been people I've
:
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:20,470
met in my life that I didn't know
yet, but I met them or I saw them.
:
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:22,980
And, and I would say to myself,
I don't know what it is, but
:
00:39:22,980 --> 00:39:24,430
I gotta be around that person.
:
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,009
And I always aspire to try to.
:
00:39:27,170 --> 00:39:28,880
Be that person for others.
:
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,240
Like, I don't know what it is.
:
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:31,540
I don't know you yet.
:
00:39:31,540 --> 00:39:33,740
I don't even know your name,
but there's something about
:
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:34,980
you that it's the vibe, right?
:
00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:36,040
It's like, I just gotta be
:
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,610
Rev: around that.
:
00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:38,140
Back to the movie guy.
:
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:40,390
It's the Harry Met Sally and
sitting at the table saying,
:
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,380
I want what she's having.
:
00:39:45,035 --> 00:39:45,885
Mac: Absolutely.
:
00:39:47,105 --> 00:39:47,285
That's funny.
:
00:39:47,285 --> 00:39:48,454
Man,
:
00:39:48,455 --> 00:39:48,965
Rev: I like
:
00:39:48,965 --> 00:39:49,655
Mac: what I see.
:
00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:51,585
I want more of that than I like.
:
00:39:51,585 --> 00:39:52,474
Exactly.
:
00:39:52,475 --> 00:39:53,416
Oh, for sure.
:
00:39:53,416 --> 00:39:54,067
For sure.
:
00:39:54,067 --> 00:39:54,393
Yeah.
:
00:39:54,393 --> 00:39:57,625
So, um, you know, this, this
is the law of attraction.
:
00:39:57,625 --> 00:40:02,305
This is, there's all kinds of different
ways you can talk about this meme.
:
00:40:02,305 --> 00:40:03,464
Let me,
:
00:40:03,545 --> 00:40:07,825
Stu: let me bring it to, let me bring it
to, uh, like real life scenarios, right?
:
00:40:07,825 --> 00:40:11,325
You might be somebody who is in, is
looking for a relationship, right?
:
00:40:11,655 --> 00:40:15,235
And you might be somebody that
said, Man, I always, I always pick
:
00:40:15,255 --> 00:40:18,355
the wrong guy or girl or whomever.
:
00:40:18,535 --> 00:40:18,865
Right?
:
00:40:19,175 --> 00:40:20,515
Why, why is that?
:
00:40:21,385 --> 00:40:26,145
Maybe, maybe that's, I mean, you're
the one that's the consistent you
:
00:40:26,145 --> 00:40:28,035
know, entity in that relationship.
:
00:40:28,065 --> 00:40:28,235
Right?
:
00:40:28,295 --> 00:40:29,395
You're always the one there.
:
00:40:29,795 --> 00:40:34,975
So, maybe your vibe has to Change, if
you want something different, right?
:
00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:36,265
Rev: Be the kind of person you want to
:
00:40:36,265 --> 00:40:36,875
Mac: attract.
:
00:40:36,875 --> 00:40:37,165
Right.
:
00:40:37,205 --> 00:40:38,145
What was that you said?
:
00:40:39,205 --> 00:40:39,635
Yeah.
:
00:40:39,915 --> 00:40:40,605
Say that again.
:
00:40:40,945 --> 00:40:46,915
You know, are you the kind of person, the
person you're looking for, is looking for?
:
00:40:46,955 --> 00:40:47,315
Right.
:
00:40:47,345 --> 00:40:47,975
Rev: There you go.
:
00:40:48,965 --> 00:40:52,255
Groucho Marx once said, I wouldn't
belong to any club that would have me.
:
00:40:53,575 --> 00:40:56,495
You know, the reality is, yeah,
you've got to be that vibration.
:
00:40:56,495 --> 00:40:58,895
You got to be that,
that, that energy field.
:
00:40:58,935 --> 00:41:00,715
That's going to bring the person you want.
:
00:41:00,715 --> 00:41:01,855
If you want kindness, be
:
00:41:01,855 --> 00:41:02,445
Mac: kinder.
:
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,160
Right.
:
00:41:03,250 --> 00:41:04,980
Well, and we can even, yes.
:
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:10,460
And we can even take this beyond tribe
to just life in general, just like
:
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:15,240
Rev said, you know, you want goodness,
you want love, you want, you know,
:
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,190
comfort, you want, you know, joy.
:
00:41:17,650 --> 00:41:22,340
Um, you know, all of that gets, you
