0:00.0	I'm coming to you now from the Basin. This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded
0:08.0	just for you to break it down a little more. Take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy
0:13.6	this overflow message. Let me know. Let's go.
0:22.5	Since I'm saying there's so much more to the story, I just want to point out that so much more
0:27.6	to the story may not just mean that it isn't finished yet, like that there's more to come,
0:33.8	but it also, as a phrase, could mean the story as it has been so far is much different
0:42.9	than what you've been told about it. Because in storytelling, point of view is everything. So I want

2:00.4	least to know it moving forward. And sometimes you make repairs in relationships and sometimes it
2:06.0	would do more harm to open an old wound. But see the point of view changes because of you changing.
2:13.2	And if you don't let God change you, that's where you get stuck in a story. You go, oh man, this
2:19.2	always happens to me and never gets bruised my way and everybody always ticks on me. What is the
2:28.7	why is everybody always picking on me character? Maybe you can put it in the comments for me. I don't
