| 0:00.0 | Hey, church. Welcome to Amen podcast where we preach the good news of Jesus Christ and |
| 0:08.5 | how it applies to everyday life. I am looking on your host and today my husband Alex is preaching |
| 0:13.2 | about freedom. We're continuing our series in Matthew. So we'll be looking at chapter |
| 0:19.3 | five verses 38 through 42. I'll go ahead and read those verses and Alex will get right |
| 0:26.1 | into it. You have heard that it was said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I tell |
| 0:32.9 | you don't resist an evil doer on the contrary. If anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn |
| 0:39.6 | the other to him also. For the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, let him have |
| 0:46.5 | your coat as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him too. Give it to the one |
| 0:54.1 | who asks you and don't turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Amen. I love it. |
| 1:03.6 | Thanks for being here guys. Thanks for supporting us. Amen podcast.com. We are here in our garage |
| 1:09.4 | in Kauai Hawaii back from our trip to Chicago. It went great. We got to meet a lot of you guys, |
| 1:15.3 | which was super encouraging. You guys make it possible for us to be free to keep these episodes |
| 1:23.1 | coming out into the world. These episodes are free because of you guys. Add free. |
| 1:29.7 | So thank you. So today, we're going to talk about being hell bent on retaliation. |
| 1:36.2 | When we are constantly trying to seek justice or to stand up for ourselves or |
| 1:45.3 | stand up for your feminism, stand up for your masculineism. All these things that the world |
| 1:50.9 | tells us to do fight for yourself, fight for your rights. We are in a never ending cycle of retaliation. |
| 1:58.1 | Always needing to fight, never being free. So we're going to talk about how to be free. But first, |
| 2:03.4 | we need to talk about why we need to be free and why we can't be free. So I remember this one time |
| 2:09.2 | I was at a party and my phone was stolen off of the iPhone charging home doc and I knew who did it |
| 2:17.3 | and everyone and I were too inebriated. This is before Christ BC days. We were too inebriated |
| 2:24.1 | to handle the situation. So we all went to sleep in the next morning. I was hell bent on retaliation. |
