00:00:35.366 --> 00:00:36.506

All right.

00:00:37.167 --> 00:00:37.787

Hello.

00:00:37.887 --> 00:00:38.368

Hello.

00:00:38.448 --> 00:00:39.607

How are you guys doing?

00:00:40.289 --> 00:00:41.069

Hello.

00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:41.588

Hello.

00:00:41.649 --> 00:00:42.009

Hello.

00:00:42.048 --> 00:00:42.509

Hello.

00:00:42.529 --> 00:00:44.070

How are you guys doing?

00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:46.930

I hope you guys had a great, great day.

00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:49.131

And now we are, for me,

00:00:50.072 --> 00:00:52.311

having a great time right now.

00:00:52.932 --> 00:00:54.232

Excited to be with you guys

00:00:54.832 --> 00:00:57.753

and happy Thursday.

00:00:59.314 --> 00:01:00.554

And of course, when you hear this,

00:01:00.975 --> 00:01:01.875

you'll be like, hey,

00:01:02.115 --> 00:01:03.435

it is totally not that time.

00:01:03.936 --> 00:01:05.236

But I got out of here late.

00:01:05.816 --> 00:01:08.257

You know, sometimes you get tired, right?

00:01:08.697 --> 00:01:10.358

You're like, ooh, me.

00:01:12.117 --> 00:01:13.957

But I woke up.

00:01:14.358 --> 00:01:14.838

So anyway,

00:01:15.638 --> 00:01:17.759

I know that my consistency about

00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:20.219

what I've set myself to do,

00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:21.939

I'm going to stick with

00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:24.760

that and I'm going to do it.

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.341

So today we are going to be

00:01:28.402 --> 00:01:32.423

talking about sexual sense.

00:01:33.903 --> 00:01:34.882

You can get caught up.

00:01:35.743 --> 00:01:36.164

You can.

00:01:37.623 --> 00:01:39.484

And we're going to get into that.

00:01:39.905 --> 00:01:42.864

But before I talk about that,

00:01:43.085 --> 00:01:44.305

let's go ahead and pray.

00:01:44.965 --> 00:01:46.105

And then I've got some

00:01:47.887 --> 00:01:48.927

scripture for you guys.

00:01:49.486 --> 00:01:51.108

So I got a lot of scriptures

00:01:51.248 --> 00:01:53.608

and we'll just talk because

00:01:53.628 --> 00:01:54.688

that's what we do over here

00:01:54.808 --> 00:01:55.549

in these streets.

00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:56.888

And if you're new to me,

00:01:57.409 --> 00:01:58.650

my name is T. Drake,

00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:00.629

podcasting godmother of connection.

00:02:01.471 --> 00:02:03.111

And this is what I do.

00:02:03.932 --> 00:02:05.914

I sometimes have Bible

00:02:05.933 --> 00:02:07.314

studies and go through different books,

00:02:08.015 --> 00:02:09.377

and sometimes I just have

00:02:09.817 --> 00:02:11.217

conversations either about

00:02:11.618 --> 00:02:13.080

some topics that are going

00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.262

on in the world or some

00:02:15.301 --> 00:02:16.902

things I've gone through personally,

00:02:17.604 --> 00:02:18.865

and whatever the Lord leads

00:02:18.925 --> 00:02:21.407

me to share about, that's what I do.

00:02:21.667 --> 00:02:23.889

So we're going to go ahead and pray,

00:02:23.968 --> 00:02:25.931

and then we'll get right into this.

00:02:26.771 --> 00:02:27.151

Here we go.

00:02:27.853 --> 00:02:29.114

Gracious Heavenly Father, Lord,

00:02:29.174 --> 00:02:31.515

thank you for this time where God did

00:02:32.222 --> 00:02:33.562

once again, be in your word.

00:02:33.703 --> 00:02:33.923

Lord,

00:02:33.943 --> 00:02:37.627

it is always a privilege and an honor,

00:02:37.646 --> 00:02:37.926

and Lord,

00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:40.808

I am humbled to be able to do it.

00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:41.409

Lord,

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:43.531

I thank you for the allowance to even

00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:44.651

be in your word and that

00:02:44.692 --> 00:02:46.614

you are allowing me to share.

00:02:47.133 --> 00:02:48.996

Lord, may this, what I share,

00:02:49.496 --> 00:02:53.199

help somebody in a form or fashion, Lord,

00:02:53.218 --> 00:02:54.120

that you desire.

00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:54.781

Lord,

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.082

I pray that if there are other

00:02:57.103 --> 00:02:58.183

believers that are going

00:02:58.223 --> 00:03:00.544

through certain types of abuses, Lord,

00:03:00.586 --> 00:03:01.045

in their life,

00:03:01.513 --> 00:03:01.673

Lord,

00:03:01.712 --> 00:03:03.093

that you would give them the courage

00:03:03.294 --> 00:03:06.355

to speak up, stand up, and Lord,

00:03:06.415 --> 00:03:07.295

not be afraid.

00:03:07.316 --> 00:03:08.176

Because Lord,

00:03:08.197 --> 00:03:10.358

you have commanded us to not

00:03:10.437 --> 00:03:11.979

be afraid and be courageous.

00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.100

So Lord, let us find our voices,

00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.602

use our voices, and share.

00:03:18.203 --> 00:03:18.723

Lord God,

00:03:19.143 --> 00:03:22.284

it is in your precious son's name, Jesus,

00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:22.865

I pray.

00:03:22.884 --> 00:03:24.225

Amen.

00:03:25.426 --> 00:03:27.707

All right, so before we get started,

00:03:27.728 --> 00:03:29.989

this is not going to be a trigger warning,

00:03:30.049 --> 00:03:30.729

but if this

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.319

This is what I talk about,

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:33.501

even though it's in the word,

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:35.241

if it bothers you or

00:03:35.341 --> 00:03:38.241

somehow it is just

00:03:38.722 --> 00:03:40.122

something that's too heavy,

00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:42.522

I definitely ask you to

00:03:43.024 --> 00:03:44.104

take care of yourself and

00:03:44.144 --> 00:03:46.305

do some self-care and tune

00:03:46.344 --> 00:03:48.844

back in later when you are

00:03:48.944 --> 00:03:51.026

able to and just always

00:03:51.066 --> 00:03:51.806

make sure you're taking

00:03:51.846 --> 00:03:53.766

care of yourself because I

00:03:53.806 --> 00:03:56.568

don't care how much I talk

00:03:56.608 --> 00:03:58.068

about certain things, even for me,

00:03:59.088 --> 00:04:00.429

a survivor of domestic violence,

00:04:00.905 --> 00:04:01.765

sometimes there are things

00:04:01.825 --> 00:04:04.426

that can bring back up

00:04:04.507 --> 00:04:06.328

emotions and they're hard.

00:04:06.407 --> 00:04:07.308

Some people don't care

00:04:07.329 --> 00:04:08.969

because they've never gone through it,

00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:09.289

right?

00:04:10.170 --> 00:04:11.491

But if you are a person that

00:04:11.510 --> 00:04:12.872

gone through any type of abuse,

00:04:13.393 --> 00:04:15.894

it can be hard to listen to.

00:04:16.033 --> 00:04:16.975

It can be hard to,

00:04:17.654 --> 00:04:18.696

even as I share in the word,

00:04:18.735 --> 00:04:19.555

there are some things,

00:04:20.177 --> 00:04:21.396

even in the Bible that I've read,

00:04:21.437 --> 00:04:23.598

some certain stories that

00:04:23.658 --> 00:04:24.959

caused me to be like, okay,

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.341

let me pause and then let

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.362

me take care of myself.

00:04:28.422 --> 00:04:30.483

So if that's what happens with you,

00:04:31.456 --> 00:04:32.177

while you're listening,

00:04:32.757 --> 00:04:34.478

please make sure you're

00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:35.680

taking care of yourself,

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.300

however you need to do that.

00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:39.622

So first I'm going to get

00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:41.264

into some scripture

00:04:41.303 --> 00:04:42.404

passages and I have a lot

00:04:42.425 --> 00:04:45.726

of them and you know me, well,

00:04:45.747 --> 00:04:47.187

you don't know that I've

00:04:47.228 --> 00:04:48.348

already gone a little bit

00:04:48.389 --> 00:04:49.069

of school shopping.

00:04:49.089 --> 00:04:50.850

I was kind of excited just

00:04:50.891 --> 00:04:51.790

going off a tangent here

00:04:51.831 --> 00:04:52.752

before I get into the work.

00:04:53.353 --> 00:04:55.394

I went to the store and Walmart's,

00:04:55.434 --> 00:04:55.733

you know,

00:04:56.134 --> 00:04:58.055

having all these things for kids

00:04:58.076 --> 00:04:58.555

to go to school.

00:04:58.576 --> 00:04:58.636

You

00:05:01.413 --> 00:05:02.475

because I look at the

00:05:02.514 --> 00:05:03.875

stationary stuff and I get

00:05:03.896 --> 00:05:04.536

stuff for myself.

00:05:06.557 --> 00:05:09.259

So I went and they have

00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:12.382

these sticky transparent highlights.

00:05:12.422 --> 00:05:13.882

You know, you use highlighters,

00:05:14.223 --> 00:05:15.363

but these are cool.

00:05:15.423 --> 00:05:16.685

Cause I was like, wait a minute,

00:05:16.704 --> 00:05:17.846

they have sticky highlights.

00:05:18.225 --> 00:05:18.625

So, you know,

00:05:18.646 --> 00:05:21.608

you have a post-it paper that you use.

00:05:21.887 --> 00:05:23.329

These are like those thin

00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:24.850

sticky highlights that you

00:05:24.891 --> 00:05:25.870

could put over a word.

00:05:26.211 --> 00:05:27.112

And I've been using them.

00:05:27.132 --> 00:05:28.533

I'm just like, listen,

00:05:28.552 --> 00:05:30.053

your girl here is a nerd.

00:05:30.274 --> 00:05:31.035

Okay.

00:05:31.629 --> 00:05:33.190

And very, very much respect.

00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:37.574

And I love my paper protectors.

00:05:38.093 --> 00:05:39.355

I love my pens.

00:05:39.495 --> 00:05:41.636

I love everything stationery.

00:05:42.216 --> 00:05:44.098

If I have a way to make stationery stuff,

00:05:44.497 --> 00:05:46.019

man, I make pineapple stationery,

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.100

coconut stationery.

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.459

I would make diamond and

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.201

sparkle stationery.

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:49.581

Listen,

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:51.141

you couldn't stop me if I figured

00:05:51.161 --> 00:05:53.142

out how to make all kinds of stationery.

00:05:53.584 --> 00:05:55.625

I would just be like the stationery queen.

00:05:56.285 --> 00:05:57.925

But anyway, excuse me.

00:05:57.946 --> 00:
