I'm coming to you now from the basin. This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for you to break it down a little more to take it a little deeper.

I hope you enjoy this overflow message. Let me know. Let's go.

The enemy loves to keep us stuck in a space where we are frozen in what we don't know.

You feel me frozen in what we don't know because then if we're frozen, right in the down, in what we don't know, we don't go forward.

We don't go forward and learn because we're frozen. I don't know. We'll learn.

Here comes the second part of this confession. Say, I know what I need to.

Not only does that mean that God reveals things in His timing according to His schedule, not always ours.

But it also means that sometimes we don't know what we need to know because we haven't gotten desperate to know it yet.

There are certain books you won't read until you've experienced a brokenness that makes you need to read them.

Yeah. I had books on my shelf that when I was going through a certain challenge in my life, I had to dig around for them because when I got the books, they were nice.

Nice book, nice cover, nice jacket, nice title, nice subtitle. When I needed them, I dug for them.

And when I say, I'll know when I need to, I mean that sometimes we haven't really reached a level where we're reaching for the answers because we haven't hit the thing in our life yet that makes us go, oh, I got to get this one right.

You know, I was telling a group of leaders this week that I was privileged to spend an entire day with and most of them were pastors of churches from different parts of the country and different parts of the world.

And it was a very small group so I was able to be very personal, very specific with them.

And one of the things that I shared with them that really, really, really was heavy in my heart to say to them is, you know, I don't...

I don't really think that in certain seasons of my life, I was ready yet for certain things that God wanted to show me.

And until I was ready, God couldn't say yes. I was stuck in that yes but not yet phase.

And I hope you can hear this when I say it because we all have certain things that we encounter in our life that make us go, oh, no, I don't know how to do this.

Like, I don't know how to be a good husband. I don't know how to do midlife.

Oh, I remember what I was going to tell you. I got a little side track thinking about the meeting that I had with the pastors.

I was telling them how something about the ages of my kids right now, 12, 15, 17, that age in them is making me confront some things in me because I've got to win in some certain areas.

Like, I didn't really get serious about my self-talk, my self-talk until I saw in my own kids some of the things that they were saying about themselves and to themselves and processing.
