Summary
THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: because.
In this episode we dig into how to find peace when you’re drowning in the “why’s” of this world. How do you surrender to God’s “because” response? How do you avoid what’s happening around you from getting inside of you and weighing you down?
It’s time to face forward…Why?
Let’s unpack the “Because’s”….
Go rise up. || xxE

| 0:00.0 | What's up, friends, it's E! Welcome back to Midweek Rise Up and also happy Earth Day and Earth |
| 0:05.1 | Week. Maybe take some time today if you can. Throw on that mask of yours. Maybe show a tree, a bush, |
| 0:10.7 | a flower, some love today. Although our plans have been canceled, spring and summer are still on |
| 0:16.5 | schedule. Flowers are still blooming and trees are still growing. So do something a little unique |
| 0:21.0 | for Earth Day. But with that said, let's be extra grateful today for this beautiful world we live in. |
| 0:26.6 | Let's take a deep breath and let's jump into the good news. The word for this week is because. |
| 0:32.4 | That word is a sentence in itself. Parents use it all the time with their kids. I know my parents |
| 0:37.1 | did when I was |
| 0:37.6 | younger and I'd asked the most obnoxious amounts of questions, especially those that started and |
| 0:42.7 | ended with, but why? The word because sometimes becomes a one word sentence due to one of the two |
| 0:49.1 | reasons. Either the person or parent knows something isn't good for you so they're removing it or preventing |
| 0:54.6 | it from happening or they know something better is coming and they want you to stop doubting |
| 0:58.4 | their decision. It's a heavily used conjunction in our society to express an explanation or a |
| 1:05.0 | reasoning behind a decision or an action. Yet now more than ever, I feel like us as a whole world right now especially, |
| 1:12.5 | is asking questions that have no other answer to it other than because. For example, |
| 1:18.3 | why do we have to stand six feet apart? Because why do we have to wear a mask? Because why do we |
| 1:24.5 | have to stand behind this massive glass shield when we check out at the grocery store as the cashier with the scanner awkwardly attempts to scan your stuff? |
| 1:32.7 | Because. Well, I don't know about you, but I have been so unsettled with the word lately. |
| 1:37.7 | And it's kind of this soul-stirring emotion that the word because being used as an answer is so definitive in stance, but at the same time, |
| 1:46.1 | extremely ambiguous in meaning. And I feel like I'm a five-year-old all over again just because |
| 1:50.7 | I don't like the answer to my question. And I know we've talked about this before, the word |
| 1:55.2 | control in itself is an absolute illusion. And honestly, the only thing you can in quotation marks control |
