Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good morning everybody. This is Sean Copeland. Today is Sunday,
May the eleventh. It is Mother's Day and welcome to
another brand new, life changing edition of the ninety four
x Kingdom Driven CEO. Thank you all so much. We
(00:31):
are letting our mom of the House, Angela, sleep in
this morning, so I am coming to you before all
of the Mother's Day festivities began. But I do want
to say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms that
listen in to us. We all know that our moms
and the wives in our home, that our mothers to
(00:51):
our kids are absolutely beyond critical. Well we couldn't do
it without you. Clearly, none of us would be here
without you. But it's more than that. It is you
are the glue, You are the love. You are all
things moms are, all things that are good. So thank you,
Thank you for everything you all do, and thank you
(01:13):
for joining us today. So today this is pretty appropriate.
I am going to share a devotional that I shared
last week that was super popular and it was entitled
God Can Use That Too, and basically it talks about
mistakes and how God can use mistakes to our benefit.
(01:39):
Even though it doesn't seem like it at the time,
and I think you're really going to love this devotional
and the biblical proof that no matter what you have
done up to this point, it's okay. We are redeemed
through the blood of Jesus Christ. And the reason I
(02:00):
say it is so perfect is because my mom had
to endure many, many mistakes from yours. Truly, I'm going
to give you a few examples here in just a moment,
but let me read this devotional to you real quick.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I can bring good
even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to
look backward, longing to undue decisions you have come to regret.
(02:24):
This is a waste of time and energy, leading only
to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your
mistakes to me. Look to me and trust, anticipating that
my infinite creativity can we both good and bad choices
into a lovely design. Because you're human, you will continue
(02:45):
to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error
free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be
a source of blessing. Excuse me, humbling you and giving
you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Sorry, my
phone just cut out there. Best of all, failure highlights
(03:06):
your dependence on me. I'm able to bring the beauty
out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust me and
watch to see what I will do. On our scripture
basis is Romans eight twenty eight. And we know that
all that, in all things, God works for the good
of those who love Him, who have been called according
to his purpose. Proverbs eleven to two. When pride comes,
(03:29):
then comes disgrace, But with humility comes wisdom. And Mike
is seven to seven. But as for me, I watch
and hope for the Lord. I wait for God, my Savior,
My God. Will hear me? Now? I wonder before I
jump into kind of some of my mistakes, I want
to point something out here that I think is very
very interesting. Thinking that you should live an error free
(03:52):
life is symptomatic of pride. So it's almost as if
this devotional is calling us to just admit and accept
the fact that we're gonna make mistakes. That's just we're
not perfect. We were not created to be perfect. You know.
Obviously when Adam and Eve failed, we failed as well.
(04:15):
So we know we're not going to live a sinless life.
But we also just do things that are really, really dumb.
So I want to admit to you as we begin this,
I have made many many mistakes. Let me give you
just a few highlights to just get us warmed up.
This morning, So my buddy Pooh and I decided we
(04:37):
were going to ride in the Saint Jude's Bikeathon. Please
excuse my allergies this morning. So, in the Saint Jude's Bikeathon,
you basically ride around this one hour path that connected
Baggs High School to the elementary school and ultimately back
to the high school again. Then you would get pledges
(04:58):
for each mile that you that you would ride. So
Poo and I took it on as a race. We
were gonna beat everybody. We were in the second grade,
all ages road in this deal. I didn't know how
to ride a bike till the day before. That's a
very key part of this story. So I learned how
to ride a bike literally the day before. We jump
(05:18):
out there. We're in the lead. We are killing it.
We go through the elementary school parking lot, we get
some water in these little Dixie cups. They all clapped
for us because we were in the lead. It wasn't
really a race, by the way, but we were still
in the lead. And here we go down this enormously
large hill that leads to Beggs High School. Well, when
(05:41):
you get to the bottom of this hill, it turns
back left very sharply. Okay, why had never ridden down
a hill? I had really never ridden a bicycle at all.
So when I got down to the bottom of the hill,
I froze and kept going straight and I went through
a sixth wire barbed wire fence with two strands of
(06:03):
electric fence behind it. So if it wasn't for my
classmate Bobby, whose name last name I will not mention here,
who happened to have a machete on him. And I
know you're thinking, why did he have that? I don't know.
That's a different episode. If it wasn't for him, I
(06:24):
would be in big, big trouble today because I was
just setting there electrocuting on that fence. But I ended
up somehow it did not scrape up my face. I
did end up getting thirty three stitches that day at
the local clinic, and I had on my Billy Sims
(06:45):
number twenty Jersey. I remember that there was blood literally everywhere,
But I did end up recovering just fine, but that
was a huge mistake. Another big mistake when I was
a senior was letting my who will also remain name
let's cut my hair. She was just beginning beauty school,
(07:07):
and she thought that it would be a good idea
to give me a haircut just the day before my
senior pictures. And it wasn't good idea till I realized
she wasn't using a clipper guard and went a little
too deep. And I distinctly remember this black and yes,
I used to have black hair, this black tuft of hair,
(07:28):
big black tuft of hair falling slowly to the ground.
And that tuft of hair came from the right side
of my head. So now I had a bright white
scalp hole there in my black hair. So I put
mascara on my head during my senior pictures to cover
(07:53):
it up. So there's mistake number one, letting Suzanne cut
my hair. I know, I just said she was going
to names. I forgot about that, but I love you, Suzanne.
And then mistake number two was forgetting that the I
the mascara was on my head to cover up the
white spot. When I took my senior pictures, and then
(08:15):
I went to basketball practice and ended up sweating all
over everybody and all the mascara goes running down the
side of my face, which absolutely freaked out my teammates.
So there's mistakes two and three. I remember in the
sixth grade playing free safety and guarding the receiver that
(08:40):
ran down the field. Time was out in the Bristow
football game. They throw a hail Mary to the end zone.
I jump up too soon. I come back down just
in time to see the ball go over my fingertips
into the hands of the receiver. We lost our only
(09:01):
middle school game ever. I also my junior year of
high school, we were in the state finals playing against
Dale and I was wide open going down the court.
I went up for a layup. I couldn't decide whether
to do a finger roll or do a regular layup
(09:21):
off the glass. Our coach would always get mad when
we didn't use the glass. I did something in between.
It did not turn out well. I missed the shot.
I was the absolute goat, not in a good way
of Begs Oklahoma for several minutes until Tyson Christy hit
a shot at the end to save us and help
(09:42):
us win the game. Thank goodness, I would still be
probably on billboards and begs and not in a good
way if if we had lost that game. So anyway,
I've made many many mistakes in my life. I remember
one of my buddies accidentally used hairspray instead of deodorant.
(10:05):
He was a sticky and b he walked around smelling
like a combination of a flower shop and high school prom.
That was another mistake. So here's the truth. We have
all made many, many mistakes. Some are silly, some are
really painful, and some we still lose sleepover. And the
message today that I want to share with you is
(10:26):
super simple. God is not surprised by our mistakes. In fact,
he specializes in turning our mess into a message, our
blunders into blessings, and our regrets into redemption. And I
just want to make a few points here real quick
to help bring this home. Number one, remember that God
can use even our biggest blunders. We talked about Romans
(10:49):
eight twenty eight, how all things God works for the
good of those who love him. And I just want
you to notice that it doesn't say in some things
or only the good things. It says all things, and
that includes our detours, our bad decision or even that
bad haircut that I got back in nineteen ninety one.
(11:12):
Peter was one of Jesus's closest friends. He literally walked
on water. But he also denied knowing Jesus three times.
And you want to talk about failure. But after the Resurrection,
Jesus didn't cancel Peter. He restored him. He turned the
man who failed under pressure into the bold preacher at
Pentecost who led three thousand people to Christ in a
(11:35):
single day and basically the rock on whom his church
was built. You know, the pope that was just named
is a descendant of Peter in in that role. So
he took a mistake to a miracle, and he took
his failure to foundation. There was a woman who once
shared that she got fired from a job she loved.
(11:58):
It was embarrassing, infusing, and painful, but it led her
to start her own business which now employs twenty five
people and support single moms. And she told me that
that failure heard, but it made space for God's creativity.
Point two is regret is a time waster. The devotional said,
(12:19):
your finite mind tends to look backwards, longing to undue
decisions you have come to regret, And can I just
say that if regret burned calories, I would be a supermodel.
Right now, we obsess over what we should have done,
should have said, should have chosen. We play the mental
bloop of real on repeat, over and over and over.
(12:41):
But here's the deal. God's not living in your past.
He's working in your present. Moses killed a man in anger.
Now that is a big, big mistake, but God still
used him to lead his people out of slavery and
perform some of the most jaw dropping miracles in history.
Moses could have stayed stuck in shame, but instead he
(13:03):
trusted God's redemptive plan. So instead of saying if only
I hadn't, let's start saying God, I can't wait to
see what you do with this. Point Number three is
mistakes make us humble, and that is a good thing.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, But with humility comes wisdom.
(13:25):
I don't know if you guys caught that verse earlier,
but I just love that verse because it is absolutely
right on. Humility is what God is calling us to be,
and mistakes are kind of like life sandpaper. They rub
off the pride and polish the humility. Jonah ran from
God literally booked a cruise in the opposite direction because
(13:47):
he did not want to go preach to the Ninovites.
But God could have replaced him, but he didn't. Instead,
God rerouted him via a giant fish and gave him
a second chance. Humbled himself, and Nineveh was saved. Our
failure makes us more relatable. People can't connect with our perfection.
(14:09):
They can connect with our vulnerability, our journey, and our
comeback stories. The best leaders, they say, I've been there too,
the best parents. I messed up, but I'm learning the
best Christians. I'm not perfect, but I'm forgiving and growing.
Point number four. We have to wait and watch what
God will do. Mica seven seven says, But as for me,
(14:32):
I watch and hope for the Lord. I wait for God,
my savior. My God will hear me. God is a
master weaver. He can thread together our wrong turns, our delays,
our oops moments and create something stunning. From the front,
a tapestry looks like a chaotic mess, nots threads going everywhere,
but flip it over and you see a beautiful picture.
(14:55):
God sees the whole picture. We only see the tangled threads.
We have to trust the process, and we have to
trust the artist. Think about a mistake in your life,
maybe a relationship that fell apart, a job you lost,
a word you wish you could take back. Now ask God,
what might you be weaving through this? So let's remember
(15:17):
that God's grace is greater than our biggest mistakes. The
good news here is we are not the sum of
our mistakes. God doesn't discard us because of failure. He
restores us through it. He takes our past and paints
something eternal. We don't need to carry regret like a
backpack full of bricks. We need to lay it down
(15:37):
and release it. God is not finished with our story,
not even close. So let me leave you with this.
God loves working with broken crayons. They steal color beautifully.
We are not disqualified, We are not too far gone.
We are not We are being shaped, sharpened, and sanctified,
(16:01):
one redeem mistake at a time. So I want to
share this with you guys as I close today. So
last week or it was earlier this week. On Friday
and Saturday, Finley played in a big baseball game. He's
the only freshman that plays on his team that were
(16:23):
playing in area finals for the first time to go
to state in eight years and only the second time
in the last twenty five years. So it was a big,
big deal to his school. So as I thought about
it and I prayed about it, the Lord gave me
this message that I want to close with you today
(16:44):
because it ties very closely into making mistakes in our lives.
And I called it playing for an audience of one.
The verse is Colossians three twenty three. Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for
the Lord, not for human masters. And I told him,
I said, hey, Finn, today's a big day. You've worked hard,
(17:05):
you've prepared well, and now it's time to go out
there and play the game that you love. But here's
the truth I want you to remember. Your worth isn't
found in your hits, your stats or the scoreboard. It's
found in Christ. God gave you your talent, he gave
you the opportunity, and today all he is asking is
that you go out there and give it everything you've got.
(17:26):
Not for the crowd, not for the coach, not even
for me, but for him. Play free, play bold, smile,
have fun, leave it all on the field, knowing that
no matter what happens today, you are loved, you are seen,
and you are enough. So I want to close us
out today with a prayer and thank you for joining us.
(17:49):
And please remember we are not defined by our mistakes.
We are enough. Please bow with me. Father, Thank you
that we are not defined by our mistakes and you
are not limited by our failures. Thank you that you
work all things good and bad for your glory and
our good. Help us to stop looking backward and regret
(18:12):
and start trusting you with our future. We release our
mistakes to you and wait with hope in Jesus' name. Amen.
And I just want to thank you all so much
for joining this edition of the ninety four x Kingdom
Driven CEO and once again, Happy Mother's Day.
Good morning everybody. This is Sean Copeland. Today is Sunday,
May the eleventh. It is Mother's Day and welcome to

(00:31):

Thank you for everything you all do, and thank you

and mistakes are kind of like life sandpaper. They rub
off the pride and polish the humility. Jonah ran from
God literally booked a cruise in the opposite direction because
(13:47):
he did not want to go preach to the Ninovites.
But God could have replaced him, but he didn't. Instead,
God rerouted him via a giant fish and gave him
a second chance. Humbled himself, and Nineveh was saved. Our
failure makes us more relatable. People can't connect with our perfection.
(14:09):

my savior. My God will hear me. God is a
master weaver. He can thread together our wrong turns, our delays,
our oops moments and create something stunning. From the front,
a tapestry looks like a chaotic mess, nots threads going everywhere,
but flip it over and you see a beautiful picture.
(14:55):
God sees the whole picture. We only see the tangled threads.
We have to trust the process, and we have to
trust the artist. Think about a mistake in your life,
maybe a relationship that fell apart, a job you lost,
a word you wish you could take back. Now ask God,
what might you be weaving through this? So let's remember
(15:17):
that God's grace is greater than our biggest mistakes. The
good news here is we are not the sum of
our mistakes. God doesn't discard us because of failure. He
restores us through it. He takes our past and paints
something eternal. We don't need to carry regret like a
backpack full of bricks. We need to lay it down
(15:37):
and release it. God is not finished with our story,
not even close. So let me leave you with this.
God loves working with broken crayons. They steal color beautifully.
We are not disqualified, We are not too far gone.
We are not We are being shaped, sharpened, and sanctified,
(16:01):
one redeem mistake at a time. So I want to
share this with you guys as I close today. So
last week or it was earlier this week. On Friday
and Saturday, Finley played in a big baseball game. He's
the only freshman that plays on his team that were
(16:23):
playing in area finals for the first time to go
to state in eight years and only the second time
in the last twenty five years. So it was a big,
big deal to his school. So as I thought about
it and I prayed about it, the Lord gave me
this message that I want to close with you today
(16:44):
because it ties very closely into making mistakes in our lives.
And I called it playing for an audience of one.
The verse is Colossians three twenty three. Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for
the Lord, not for human masters. And I told him,
I said, hey, Finn, today's a big day. You've worked hard,
(17:05):
you've prepared well, and now it's time to go out
there and play the game that you love. But here's
the truth I want you to remember. Your worth isn't
found in your hits, your stats or the scoreboard. It's
found in Christ. God gave you your talent, he gave
you the opportunity, and today all he is asking is
that you go out there and give it everything you've got.
(17:26):
Not for the crowd, not for the coach, not even
for me, but for him. Play free, play bold, smile,
have fun, leave it all on the field, knowing that
no matter what happens today, you are loved, you are seen,
and you are enough. So I want to close us
out today with a prayer and thank you for joining us.
(17:49):
And please remember we are not defined by our mistakes.
We are enough. Please bow with me. Father, Thank you
that we are not defined by our mistakes and you
are not limited by our failures. Thank you that you
work all things good and bad for your glory and
our good. Help us to stop looking backward and regret
(18:12):
and start trusting you with our future. We release our
mistakes to you and wait with hope in Jesus' name. Amen.
And I just want to thank you all so much
for joining this edition of the ninety four x Kingdom
Driven CEO and once again, Happy Mother's Day.
