Speaker 1 (00:00):
Doctor and all of our guests that come on there
either people that have overcome some tremendous odds in their
own lives as they balance this thing called life, or
they're experts and they're here to share tips and strategies
that will help you better balance and manage your life.
Grab your virtual seats, and let's get ready for some real,
relevant and relatable content on today's episode of The Kim
(00:23):
Jacobs Show. That Jacob. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this
episode of The Kim Jacob Show, where we are bringing
balance to the world and hopefully bringing balance to your house.
(00:43):
And that is our desire to be able to make
sure that life is just a little bit better smoother
for you as a result of the different guests that
I bring here on The Kim Jacobs Show. Listen. It
has been a hard press for me to come live today,
but I promised I would come live with some type
of new episode, so I wanted to just press my
(01:04):
way and get here in your household. I will ask
if you would just share the broadcast with your friends,
your family, your coworkers, church members. Let people know that
the Kim Jacob Show is here live today and we're
going to be talking about a topic that I really
do believe can help each and every one of us. Really,
(01:24):
the topic is for me because I've had so much
personally going on that I've I've had to press, I've
had to press my way to be in your house today.
But right from the comfort of your own home, you
get the opportunity to just hear some points and things
that may make your experience just in your journey just
(01:46):
a little bit smoother. Okay, somebody definitely in the comment section,
just type some comments, some thoughts. Let me know that
you're with me. I know. So sometimes I can see
different ones of you that are on, but I don't
get a chance to always acknowledge you because it may
(02:07):
not be comments being made or different things. So I
don't get a chance to see by looking at my
phone who's on. But I do want to welcome you
to this episode and thank you for being here. Thank
you for all that you always do to support the
Kim Jacob Show. I'm really grateful for CTR Media Network,
(02:28):
who has allowed us as a show the opportunity to
stream in one hundred and forty countries and literally all
different types of outlets ranging from Roku to Apple TV
to you name it on all of the different streaming
devices that are out there through CTR Media Network. By
(02:51):
downloading that app, you can go to the Kim Jacob
Show right on CTR Media Network under this self improvement channel.
And so that's where we are housed if you're ever
looking at it and want to see it on your
television as well. All right, So anyway, glad to have
you here today. Today we're going to be talking about
(03:13):
how to calm some of the chaos. Yeah, it's a
lot of chaos, and it can get you really rout
up and lots happening in the land across the land,
across the world, and if you really get saturated in
what's happening, you can get overwhelmed and it can start
(03:35):
to get the better of you, and not the best,
but the better of you. Right, And so sometimes we
have to pull in the reins and determine what are
we going to do differently to just protect our own space,
What are we going to do to be able to
have something that we can actually be more in control
(03:56):
of ourselves. And so today as we're talking, I just
wanted to find out have you ever felt like your
own life is spinning out? Of control sometimes and nobody
wants to admit that by putting it in the comments
section saying o ooh, me me. Nobody necessarily wants to
be that person that types that. But more of a
(04:17):
rhetorical question, have you ever felt like there was some
piece of your life that was just spiraling and inspiraling
a little bit more than what you would have imagined
for this phase of your life? And I know that
there are times that personally I've been like, hmmm, this
(04:37):
is not going the way that I really wanted to
or the way I expect it to, or I feel
like sometimes that you know, we're stuck in the middle
of something, and it's like we know something's about to shift,
we know something's about to change, but right now you're
in the middle of that situation. And how do we
(04:58):
handle ourselves when we are literally finding ourselves in the
middle of a situation. So today I just want to
be able to share some of the practical ways that
we can calm that storm, calm that chaos that may
be flaring up in your life. And if this is
a topic that you feel would be relevant to you
(05:21):
and helpful to you, I'm definitely going to share it.
With different people. Myself, I have so many different people
that send it over to so people will be jumping
on as well. But make sure you share it also.
And if you're already watching it because you're watching it
on Roku, or you're watching it on Apple TV or
Android TV, then let's just go ahead and jump right in.
(05:43):
How do you calm the storm? How do you calm
the chaos that may be happening in your life? These
are questions that all of us have had some level
of time to just sit with it and to really
determine how am I going to have more in the
middle of everything that's going on. We know that we
(06:05):
can turn the TV on at any time and you
can find some type of political debate happening, whether it's
some type of country warring against another country, you name it,
it's happening. And I looked before I even came on
with some of the trending news was and just to
find out what are some of the trending topics that's happening.
(06:26):
And we all know that there are specific things with
shootings that have happened and what the debates are pertaining
to them, and a lot of them surrounding political views.
We also know that there are some things that's happening
with different countries warring against themselves against another country, and
what might happen in the United States as a result
(06:49):
of it, the different immigration laws and things that's happening,
and how it's impacting people that have been even in
the United States for over thirty years because because of
the new things that's happening now they're being deported. So
lots of things happening, even down to just social media,
different potential bands that might be coming down the pipe,
(07:11):
and how that would impact people with their social media presence,
and all of it can kind of make you feel
like like, oh, you're like, gosh, what's gonna happen, what's
going down? What could the end be? All of the
different things that's happening, even with natural disasters, with flights
that have landed or ended lives in a tragic manner,
(07:36):
a lot of things that can cause us to be
in an uproar and really unsettled. Anybody know what I'm
talking about, Or have you felt any level of anxiety
and just turning on your television, call yourself relaxing, only
to find news that's really disheartening and shaking your spirit.
(08:00):
That's happened. It's happened to me, and I know that
I'm sure it's happened to others as well. So today,
as we talk, I want to talk just from the
perspective of some takeaways as to what we can do
to only control the things that we really can control.
And again, I'm a big believer, as a child of God,
(08:21):
that I don't have control over any of it. Anyway.
I believe that God orchestrates my steps and that I
am here on temporary assignment and that this is my
temporary home. Heaven is my permanent home. And I talk
about that often, but it's because I really do believe that.
I just have the perspective that I don't fear. I
(08:44):
don't fear death, but I also don't like rush it
to happen. So I don't know how other people feel
about it, but when it happens, especially with my loved ones,
my family, my friends, people that I really care about,
for whatever the reason. And even though you think you're prepared,
I'm really never fully prepared emotionally about it. I really
(09:06):
am just not. I don't know if anybody else shares
those sentiments. But how are we going to calm this
chaotic situation that sometimes we are facing. Point number one
that I want you to take away today as we
balance our lives is breathe before you react. Breathe before
(09:30):
And I meant to definitely tag one of my friends, Sharon,
because she is the self care preneur expert. So if
you've not connected with Sharon D. Brown, make sure you
do so, because she has great tips on being an entrepreneur,
self care tips and financial self care as well. So
(09:53):
it's like a well rounded approach and I love her approach,
so make sure you all check with her, but she'll
truly appreciate this. Breathe before you react, that's point number one.
And how do you go about doing that? There is
a method that many of us have heard about, but
I don't know if we actually do it, and so
(10:15):
I'm going to make sure that we take a moment
today and just really practice it on this episode, Okay,
and then you can just apply it even when you're
at work, when you're at church, when you're with your family,
when you're out at an event and you just find
yourself in a stressful mode, these are some things you
can do. Okay, So it's a method that's called four
(10:37):
seven eight, and it's something you can google. It's not
my method or anything. It's just a googleble a google
bule method. And what it allows you to do is
be very intentional about how you're breathing. A lot of
times when we are experiencing life, we're not even properly breathing.
And when I was back in pharmaceutical cells, I used
(10:59):
to do a t where I would take people on
a mental vacation, and so the different offices would have
me come in during their lunch breaks and we would
actually play some really soothing music with bird chirping, and
then we would just go away on a mental vacation.
I would go to Hawaii. Somebody else would go to Alaska.
Somebody else would go to Jamaica. Some people would just
(11:21):
stay right in the States and go to Cleveland wherever
was their happy place. Right and so right now, for
those of you that are on with me, and even
if you're watching it later, take a few minutes to
do this exercise with me. Breathe in for four seconds,
(11:42):
hold your breath for seven seconds, and then exhale for
eight seconds. Okay, So, and it's the count of we're
going to do it together. Let me know you're with me.
Type in here, Kim, I'm doing it. I'm with you.
I'm doing the exercise. I love hands on kind of stuff.
So breathe in. Well, first of all, relax and stretch
(12:11):
and you're going to breathe in. When you breathe in,
your stomach should actually protrude out. So breathe in for
the count of four, hold it for seven seconds, then
(12:36):
exhale for eight seconds. Breathe in for four seconds. I
guess I could a play some music for y'all. Huh.
I don't know if I have any birds chirp in music.
I don't have anything like that over here. Let's see,
(12:58):
I'll just do some daydreaming. Breath then for four seconds,
hold it for seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. Breathe
(13:32):
then for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, exhale
for eight Now again. You can do this where you're
(13:58):
doing it at the count a four or four seconds,
whatever works best for you. But when you breathe in,
you're actually having your stomach protrude out, so you should
be able to hit that belly and your stomach would
be really protruding out if you're properly breathing, so you're
breathing in for four seconds, you are holding it for
(14:21):
seven seconds, and then you are exhaling for eight. So
let's do it one more time, and if you're with me,
put it in the comments section, Kim, I'm doing the exercise.
I'm doing it. I'm here, I'm doing it, okay. So one, two, three,
four is what you're gonna inhale, hold it, exhale for
(14:52):
eight seconds. And if you're doing that properly, what's happening
is you can't help but have less stress because you're
taking the time to be intentional and breathing properly, which
automatically helps lessen some of the stress that's in your shoulders,
(15:17):
in your chest, in your mind. Is just very intentional.
Why because you're focusing on your breathing versus focusing on
the latest breaking news. Oh my gosh, did you see this?
Did you hear that? So much debate and issues over
everything that's happening in the land, and it's only causing
your levels of stress to be heightened. My friend and
(15:41):
I we talked to earlier today and we were talking
about your levels of blood pressure being increased cortisone levels increasing.
It's just a lot of stress, and stress can have
very negative effects on your body, whether you think it
does or you don't. Literally, stress can be a damaging
situation if it's not properly managed. Now, we all have
(16:05):
some level of stress, so when people say, well, I'm
stress free, that means that they passed away because none
of us are stress free. We can have stress less situations,
but we're not stress free. So I hope that just
by point number one, breathing before you react to a
situation is helpful. A lot of the things that we
are responding to on social media, even over the phone
(16:30):
with our friends, with our loved ones, it can easily
be handled in a better way if we choose to
just breathe before we react to the situation that's before us. Okay,
all right, now, making sure point number two that we
control only what we can control, which is very for me.
(16:55):
I'm not in control of much because my life is
in my Master's hands, so I am not in control
of my own life, let alone other people's lives. I
can tell you what I'm ordaining to share with you,
what I'm authorized to share as God's mouth piece, but
at the end of the day, there are some things
that I can control, and there are some things that
(17:16):
I am not able to control that are outside of
my sphere of influence. So we're going to experience some
things in life. We're going to encounter some things in life,
and it's beyond your control. And the sooner we recognize that,
the better we can have better calm over the chaos
(17:37):
that we experience in life. Because it's like no, no,
that is beyond my control. That is something I'm not
able to dictate the outcome of. We cannot determine the
outcome of the weather. We can't determine the outcome of
what somebody else's behavior is going to be and how
they're going to respond or how they're going to treat us.
(17:58):
That is stuff that's beyond my control, what time of
the day it is, how the president is going to
respond to the Israel and Jimas not any control over
any of those things. Okay, All I can do is
make sure that I can control what's in my willhouse
(18:18):
and the things that are assigned to me. I can
govern myself accordingly. I can manage those things accordingly and say, okay,
here's what I know that's within my sphere of influence
that I'm responsible for that God has given me authority
and reign over. I can control those things because He's
given me the power to control it. He's given me
(18:41):
dominion over these things. But the things that are beyond
my control, I can pray and I can ask God
to reverse the situation if it's opposing what I know
is the right thing, and I do that, and I
believe that God answers my prayers. So if you are
a person of faith and you believe with your whole
heart that God does answer and hear your prayers, then
(19:03):
put your petitions before the Lord and say, Lord, please,
this has to stop. Life is being very traumatizing for people,
and this cannot be the will of God. But the
Lord often says, hey, stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord. He knows exactly how things are going
(19:25):
to play out. We only know in part, we only
know in pieces, bite sides pieces, But at the end
of the day, God knows exactly how he plans for
all of this to play out, and He's liked just
not just sit around and do nothing, but just g
know that the salvation of the Lord is at hand
(19:46):
and that he has everything in his plan exactly how
it's going to play out. Okay, all right, So control
what you can, release what you can. Somebody type that
in the comments section. Oh yeah, I see you, say,
and I am with you. I see you, I see you, chourmain.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and your support.
(20:06):
I love you and I appreciate you. Okay, so listen,
make sure you type and let me see. I see
people on Instagram too, so I want to acknowledge you all.
I know y'all are on different platforms and you see
it in all different facets. Some people are hearing it
on iHeartRadio, Amazon Music and all of Spotify so forth.
So thank you wherever you're tuning in to the Kim
(20:28):
Jacob Show, we appreciate you. Control what you can, release
what you can. The sooner we get that in our
in our mindset, life will just be a little bit
more manageable. You can, you can function a little bit better. Okay,
(20:50):
all right? Point number three, Protect your piece, and I'm
saying protected at all costs. I have some friends, when
I'm talking to them, some just have a strong philosophy
when it comes to their piece. It's like, Kim, when
I talk to you, I want to give you my
(21:11):
undivided attention. I don't want any interruptions during our conversation
because this is the time that I have carved out
to talk with you. And I really appreciate that. I
truly appreciate when someone is very intentional about how they're
going to say, Okay, everything else will have to wait
(21:31):
because this is where I am now, and this is
what I plan to focus on, is you. I'm here
with you, and you're going to have my undivided attention.
And actually that's helped me in life to be able
to better understand that there are sometimes that some things
have to just be put on hold so that you
can give the attention to what you're saying is really
(21:54):
the priority. So if something is the priority, then make
it the priority and protect your piece. If something is
trying to stress you out, trying to cause you problems
and chaos, make a conscious decision that you're going to
protect your piece at all costs. Social media and it's
(22:16):
a beautiful thing in my opinion, because I think it's
all in how you look at it and how you
put it in perspective and how you utilize it in
your life. So when I'm on social media, I'm very
intentional about what I'm on there to do. So I'm
putting a specific thing in the search engine. I'm looking
at certain videos that I think would serve, even from
(22:38):
a counseling perspective, for some things that I may be
dealing with in life. So all of my things are
very intentional when it comes to how I handle social media,
what I post on social media, what I look at
on social media, because it's all entering into my spirits,
(22:58):
entering into my heart. And believe it or not, we
can always say, oh, that doesn't bother me, that doesn't
impact me. Yes it does, Yes it does, because stuff
that we allow into our heart, into our soul, it
does impact us. And there are fun things that you're
looking at and you're like, that's fine, that's trending, And
I mean all nobody's like, oh, I'm not gonna look
(23:20):
at social media just for the sheer enjoyment of it all.
I watch social media things that are fine, funny, Oh
my gosh, I can't believe that happened, and I'm like
intrigued to find out what else is about to pop
off in that scenario what they pulled them over raw
and that was a police officer too, who I didn't
know that was gonna happen. And then you see all
(23:41):
of these different things that's happening out here. But really,
at the end of it all, it's like trying to
determine what is getting into your spirit that's a problem.
And if you can identify this is not good for me,
this is not help helping me, this is not helping
(24:02):
me be better in my spirit in some regard, then
that's when you might have to say, let me pull
in the reins on this. Let me put some parameters
and put some barriers around how often I expose myself
to something that's causing me to feel like this, And
feeling like this, you'd have to feel in your own
blanks because everybody can tell you what they think something
(24:24):
should make you feel like, but that may not even
be how it makes you feel. So what works for
one person may work horribly for somebody else, and somebody
else that feels like this works very well for me
may be a disaster in your house. So there are
no specific formulas when it comes to what you should
(24:46):
do in your house that works for you. And what
somebody else should do in their house that works for them.
You have to have some type of thing that or
source that you hang your soul on. For me, I
want to govern myself by the Word of God, and
so I want to look at the Bible and determine
what in the Bible applies to what I'm actually dealing with.
(25:07):
What's the solution that the Bible is saying can be
a solution for my chaos that I'm experiencing, right, and
guess what, we all will have some level of chaos
that we experience in our lives. So it's just a
matter of trying to determine what are some solutions when
I find myself in these storms that are raging in
(25:29):
my life. Because just because you profess that you are
a Christian, or you profess that you are whatever source
you are leaning towards, doesn't prevent you from having chaotic situations,
does not shield you from having things that happen that
were unforeseen, things that happened that were beyond your control.
(25:52):
So it's still going to be some things that happen
regardless of what your spiritual belief is. But it's how
we react, how we handle those situations when they arrive,
that will be able to determine how the outcome of
our destiny. So what we do today can truly determine
the outcome of our destiny. I don't know if you've
(26:14):
ever read this book called Attitude Is Everything by Keith Herrell,
but he talks about Attitude is Everything because attitude determines
your altitude, how high you can really go in life. Now,
he transitioned from this earth, but he did leave some
powerful nuggets. Your attitude determines your altitude. So the attitude
(26:36):
that we walk around with and the attitude that we
display to other people, the behavior that we have, it'll
determine how far we can go in life in many instances.
So learning that principle of life is only nine percent
ninety percent how we react to it and ten percent
(26:59):
what happens to us. A lot of times people have
that flipped. It's like, oh, if this happened, I'm going
in I'm doing this. No, no, no no. Life is
literally only ten percent what happens to us, and it's
ninety percent how we choose to react to what happened
to us. So just because some things happen does not
(27:22):
mean we have to go all in on every situation.
Every battle does not have to be fought. There are
some battles you know that they need to be fought,
and you're like, I can see you, and I see
what you try to do, and I'm not crazy. But
it does not mean that I have to address every battle.
(27:43):
I have to fight every battle. I have to handle
every situation. I have to put everybody in their place.
No God can see what's going on. And there are
some things I need to speak to and there are
others that I need to know, but I don't have
to speak to them. I hope this is helping somebody today.
(28:05):
Protect your peace. Protect your peace is your peace, the
peace that He gives to you that surpasses all understanding.
You need to protect that at all costs because that's yours,
and you have the right to protect your peace how
you choose to. Not everybody may agree with how you
(28:25):
choose to protect your peace, but that's between you and God.
And if that's how you are able to keep your peace,
by keeping people away at bay that are bringing way
too much drama into your world, then it's okay for
you to make a conscious decision to say, you know
what peace be with you. But it ain't gonna be
(28:47):
Chimnis with you. But peace be with you, okay, Because
it's some stuff that's popping off, that's causing too much distress,
too much strain and aggravation. And really, I know, in
my case, there are some things that cause me physical pain.
There are some things that I'm like, you know what,
am I feeling tightness? Am I getting aggravated? For real?
(29:10):
For real? I need to start protecting my piece more.
And God gives you that authority. Nobody else will protect
your piece if you don't. If you don't choose to
protect your own piece, then you get what you get.
And so protecting your piece is very important. Making sure
that we even have these opportunities to create almost like
(29:31):
a ritual, whether it's a morning routine, whether it's that
you're gonna pray before you get going with your day,
whether you're gonna meditate and just think on the goodness
of God and think on the goodness of the things
that's happening in your life, whether you're gonna just every
time I wake up, I drink some water. I have
my cup that I always keep nearby, and that one's empty.
(29:53):
But I have my other cup right here. But in
the morning, I drink that full cup of water, and
then I also make sure that I do the basics,
which we all do in the morning, but I also
pray and I ask God to govern my day. I
play music while I'm getting dressed. It can be upbeat
(30:15):
music and I'm dancing around. It can be music that's soft,
but it praise and worship. I cut on a gospel
station and I just let random music play. That is
just like a shuffling of different songs, and it is
so edifying to my spirit. I feel so uplifted whenever
I do that, and it's my time of just having
(30:37):
that time for myself as I'm getting ready to go
into whatever is going to happen throughout that day. Some
things that I'm looking that I know are going to happen,
and other things I could never imagine would happened. But
at the end of the day, I'm able to protect
my peace. So anybody learning anything, Yes, I see all
(30:58):
of your comments and I'm grateful for them, and I
see your likes and hearts and everything. Make sure that
you anchor yourself in faith and gratitude. You want to
make sure that when we're talking about the level of
chaos that's happening around the world that you take time
to talk about out loud to your family, your friends,
(31:19):
your loved ones. What are you grateful for? What are
you thankful for? If you start practicing having that as
part of your conversations, I promise you the conversations will
go so much better. Hey, I just want to tell
you I love you, I appreciate you, I celebrate you,
I thank you. You are a wonderful person. You have
(31:41):
made a difference in my life. Without you being the
person that you are in my life, I don't even
really know what my life will be like. Taking the
time to express that gratitude to those that you genuinely love,
it makes a huge difference. And even in some of
the time that we're going through right now, if we
(32:02):
just take the time to acknowledge that I'm honored to
be a part of your life. I'm honored to be
a part of this journey with you. I'm thankful for you.
I'm thankful for God assigning you to be my child
for me to be able to have some level of
you being lent to me during this time that we're
(32:25):
here on this earth that God would entrust me to
be your mother. I don't take that for granted. There
are some people in your life that you should take time,
just today or any day, pick up the phone and
call them and let them know how important they are
to you. If we start focusing our conversations and our
(32:46):
efforts on showing gratitude, you can do a social media post,
put the person's picture, say hey, just want to send
a shout out. I'm loving on this person, just thanking
God for this person. There always doing such wonderful things
and I want to celebrate them, celebrate people, love on them.
(33:07):
And I can tell you if you have some conversations
that's grounded and rooted in gratitude, it won't be so
much drama on the phone all the time. Oh you're
getting them, Minave. How about I just tell you I
love you and I'm thinking of you, and I appreciate you,
and I need you. My life is not the same
without you, and so I'm really really honored that God
(33:30):
would allow us to be connected. Now, sometimes people view
that as weakness when you do that, especially if it's
men women relationships, because people will be like, oh, she's
the term thirsty or whatever. I don't know all of
these different terms that's out here. Bottom line is, if
you really are a loving person and you love everybody,
then you should be able to express that sincerely to
(33:52):
the people that you love. But then it can be
misinterpreted too, and you don't want your goodness to be
spoken evil of. So it's such a online especially if
you are if you're a single and out there in
that dating scene, you have to be somewhat careful of
how much love you're pouring on everybody because that can
come across differently than how you may intend for it too. Right,
(34:16):
that's a whole different topic. As far as the gratitude
is concerned, Express gratitude and say thank you, Say how
much you appreciate a person and how valuable they are
in your life. Okay, take time to do that, and
I can guarantee you all the drama, the chaos will
become a little more minimized in that day, in that
(34:38):
particular twenty four hour period if you practice what I'm
talking about here, faith and gratitude, fill the twenty four
hours with that. Today, I'm just gonna thank God for
everything that He's done in my life already, for all
of the people that He's blessed me with in my life.
I'm going to spend time sharing thanks and gratitude. You
(34:59):
will not have a much time to be on the
phone talking about anybody else because you'll be focusing on
the gratitude, the gratefulness, the thankfulness. And if we talk
about ourselves more when we're on the phone, that's plenty
for me to talk about. Okay, I can only talk
for Kim if I talk about Kim alone on the phone.
(35:22):
When I'm on the phone, when I'm on the phone
with my friend Sean, we're talking about ourselves. We're not
talking about anybody else. We don't need to. But until
we finish talking just about us and our families, our
own families, the conversation is done. We've had enough talking.
It's time to rock and roll and go on to
the next phase of life. But to fill every conversation.
(35:42):
I hear different conversations with people, and I'm like, you're
kidding me. The entire time you're talking to somebody, it's
about somebody else. That is such a waste of life,
and hence more chaos is infused in trading into both
parties lives because it's constantly talking about other people. Constantly
(36:09):
focus on your own faith and your own gratitude and
what God has done for you and what He's going
to do for you. Even if you feel like I
have anything to be grateful for, I don't know what
I'm thinking him for. Think about the things that you
desire to have happen. What are some of your goals
and dreams that you would like to see become a
(36:29):
reality in your life. I share those with my friends.
I'm like, Oh my gosh, I can I wait for
God to do this? I can I wait for God
to bless me with this. I cannot wait. And I'm
talking about me, not about other people and what went
right or wrong based on what I observed in their lives.
That is for the birds. No need to talk about
(36:49):
anybody else when we can just talk about ourselves. All right?
Am I helping somebody today? I really hope so, because
I really believe that if we anchor ourselves in faith
and gratitude, it will calm It'll just calm some of
the chaos that we are experiencing in this world. These
(37:13):
are things you can control, the things that I'm sharing
with you today, And I believe that they should be
helpful to you because I came on and went live
for myself. I actually came on just for me today,
and I was talking to somebody right before, and I
was like, Oh my gosh, just taking all in me
to just push go live. And the reason it was
taking that much time for me to push go live
(37:35):
is because I was like, oh, Lord, it's just so
much always happening, and I'm like, I rebuke it in
Jesus' name. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus.
And I'm asking you to just calm the storm, calm
the chaos. And so I had to come on and
go live just so that I could put out in
(37:57):
the atmosphere that I love the Lord, that he is
in control of my life, that he said that no
weapon formed against me shall prosper. It may form, as
my aunt was saying, and as she was ministering yesterday,
it may form, but it won't prosper. I am more
than a conqueror. I am Kim. You are more than
(38:20):
a conqueror. Girl. You're not just average. You are more
than a conqueror. So I can do all things through Christ,
who strengthens me. There is nothing too hard for God,
and so sometimes you have to put it out in
an atmosphere what it is that you believe, so that
God has something to work with. All right, all right?
(38:40):
Point number five point number five. Community and connection. Community
and connection will also help minimize some of the chaos
that we experience, some of the storms that we are
going through. Sometimes we're on an island by ourselves. And
when you are on an island by yourself, that's when
(39:02):
you do get what you get. But if you can
form alliances and say, hey, you know what, I'm over
here having a little bit of a challenge today. When
I call my friend and I talk to my friends,
guess what they rally together around me, say a word
of prayer. I don't need just friends that's just talking.
I need some friends that's gonna pray me through and
(39:25):
that's gonna pray with me, not oh I'll pray for you.
And then we hang up and they still ain't pray
for me. Wasn't world. I need a friend that will pray.
Right then on the phone with me, I said, I
need prayer, Pray for me, Pray for a sister now.
And that's the type of friend that I am to people.
If they say they any prayer I'm praying right then,
(39:47):
and it may not even be all of the perfect
eloquent words or whatever, but the prayer is real, the
prayer is sincere, the prayer reaches God's ears. He's inclining
his ear and hearing my prayer. And I know that
community and connection is critical to anybody that's dealing with chaos.
(40:09):
If you don't have a tribe of people that you
can pick up the phone and call, get on your
social media page and be a part of that private
page and say, hey, what are some thoughts about this,
I'm dealing with this, I'm going through this, then you
don't need to be a part of that community because
you need people that have your back, that have your front,
(40:31):
that have your side, that have your top and beneath
you need some ride or does that's saying, you know what,
I'm here for you and not everybody is against you.
A lot of times we deal with the world system
where it's like, ooh, everybody's out to get something and
somebody's out to stab you in the back and hurt
(40:52):
you and harm you. But not everybody's that way. Not
everybody wants to see you fall. Are some people that
are cheering you on, that are underneath the iceberg, pushing
you up, saying.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
God, allow her light to shine, Allow his light to shine,
Allow him to get everything that you have ever purposed
in his life, everything that you've ever purposed in her life.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Lord, let them be the head and not the tail.
Let them be the lender and not the bar. I
need friends, and you need friends that will pray for
you full circle to make sure some great things become
a true reality in your life. Community and connection are
(41:43):
critically important, so make sure you find your tribe. If
you haven't already found one, you need to find one
that you feel comfortable with if you're interested at all
in being a part of Walk by Faith Network. We
have a big zoom coming up on this well I
should time stamp this, but anyway, if you're watching this
on September fifteenth, twenty twenty five, then on Wednesday, September seventeenth,
(42:10):
twenty twenty five, then make sure you know we have
a zoom where we're going to be talking about. Branding
is free for you to come and be a part
of it. Just reach out to me and I will
send you the zoom link and you can be a
part of a wonderful training by a branding expert that's
going to be sharing some great tips on how to
amplify your presence. So you want to get that Zoom
(42:32):
link and be there on this Wednesday at six o'clock
pm if you have not already registered. It's a gift.
It's free to the community, so you can be a
part of it and let me know. I'll send you
the Zoom link. And if you're watching this as a replay,
it's okay, it'll be something still happening. Just reach out
to me and say, Kim, whatever you have coming up next,
(42:53):
I want to be a part of it. Walk by
Faith Network is a network with people that are walking
by Faith, that are business owners, business entrepreneurs, and they
believe in our Lord and they want to be able
to exercise their faith and talk about the Lord in
any aspect of business or life. So y'all can be
(43:14):
a part of it, all right, and it's a gift
for you to come and be a part of this
upcoming Zoom When we have face to face events, we
have to be able to cover certain things the building,
fees and food and so forth. So there is a
charge for those in person events, all right, So community
and connection. You may have to weather the storm, but
you don't have to weather it alone. You don't have
(43:34):
to weather every storm alone. You're not on an island
by yourself. So making sure that you're not in this
isolated bubble where you're like, oh, I'm just silently wilting away,
I'm quitting on my own without anybody knowing it. Stop.
You have people that care about you, You have people
that love you. And if nobody's told you that they
(43:57):
love you, I'm telling you right now, I love you.
I love you, and it's not hard for me to
tell you I love you. And whether I know you
or I don't, it does not even matter to me
at all, because I love you regardless. And that's why
I have a fundamental problem with people that say that
(44:18):
they don't. They don't not explain it. And I don't
want to be condemning of even the people that do this,
but I have a huge problem because of God requires
us to have love one for another, one to another,
one to another. Okay, we're supposed to love people. There
are some things that people do that are downright crazy
(44:42):
and they are hard to love, that's for sure. Very
difficult to love, definitely difficult to like, right, but it's
still requirement that we still have love one to another.
And so there are times when there are times when
I go through scenarios and situations where I'm like, Oh,
(45:04):
that person's really really, really really vexing me and I
don't really care or even like their behavior, but I
do love every person, and that's what I'll say. I'll
leave it at that, Okay, all right, So that was
the point number five and we're almost done here because
that was it community and connection, and I wanted us
(45:25):
to understand that as we go through life, our storms
will not last forever. They're not gonna last for ever.
There are times when we go through some high tides,
and then there are times when it's smooth sailing, and
then there are times when it's like whoa, the winds
are and the waves are rocky and and tumultuous, but
(45:45):
it's like, oh, eventually it levels back out. But we
need to be able to know that the trouble is
not going to always last, and the chaos in our
lives that we experience, we will have some high mowned
some low moments. And I have to talk about Paul
Apostle Paul in the Bible all the time. He experienced
so many afflictions, but as far as he was concerned,
(46:09):
they were light compared to what our Lord and Savior
had to endure. But I mean he experienced quite a
bit as a human being, pretty much as I'm even
a martyr. He was really a hot mess with all
of the stuff he was experiencing. So other people that
looked at him being beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, all of the
(46:29):
things he was going through could easily be like you'
no child of God, look at all he going through.
But at the end of the day, God knows the
different seasons we're going to experience, and there is a
time and a season for everything under the sun, time
that we're going to live, and a time that we're
going to die. There's a lot of different seasons that
(46:50):
we're going to go through. But as we go through them,
keep in mind we can only control the things that
we can control. So as I go back, I'll just
recap breathe before you react. Number two, make sure you
control what you can and release the things that you
cannot control. Protect your piece at all costs. Protect that
(47:14):
piece is yours and you have the right to protect it.
Make sure you anchor yourself in faith and gratitude and
find a community and stay connected so that you're not
feeling like you are isolated on an island by yourself.
You're not on an island by yourself. There's somebody that
(47:34):
cares about you and that wants to see you succeed.
Not everybody is against you. So I hope that has
encouraged you today. I do want to tell you a
couple of brief announcements things that's happening, and I saved
it for the end on purpose because I want to
make sure that I share some upcoming things this Sunday,
(47:56):
September twenty First, again, if you're watching the replay, you

truly my honor to pray with you, or one of
our leaders will call and pray with you as well.
(51:37):
And the final thing that I'll share is in loving
memory of my granddad, Granddaddy Key. He transitioned to be
with the Lord and we had his homegoing celebration of
life this past weekend, and I just want my granddad
to know that he will be missed and we love, love,
(51:58):
love him. He's my last living grandparent, So I just
wanted to put his picture up and let you all
know that my granddad he loved the Lord and is
with the Lord. And I told somebody the story that
I was able to scratch his dandre from when I
was younger, but I was able to scratch his soul
(52:21):
in his eighties. And I'm so grateful that God used
me as a vehicle to be able to just recite
certain scriptures with him. And I'm so honored that that
would be a role that God trusted me with in
during that phase of his life. All right, all right,
that's today's episode. I hope it bless somebody today. Calming
(52:44):
that chaos that we experienced. I feel better. So I'm
really glad I came on live because I needed to
be able to just get that off of me. So
as we close out, we will just breathe together properly
because we're going to go on with the rest of
our day. We're gonna breathe in four count. We're gonna
(53:05):
hold it for seven count, and then we're gonna breathe
out for eight count. Do it with me, and let's
see if we can play just a little bit of
music as we as we let's see. Breathe in h.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
M hm, hold it, h m hm, breathe out, h.

that will help you better balance and manage your life.
Grab your virtual seats, and let's get ready for some real,
relevant and relatable content on today's episode of The Kim
(00:23):
Jacobs Show. That Jacob. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this
episode of The Kim Jacob Show, where we are bringing
balance to the world and hopefully bringing balance to your house.
(00:43):
And that is our desire to be able to make
sure that life is just a little bit better smoother
for you as a result of the different guests that
I bring here on The Kim Jacobs Show. Listen. It
has been a hard press for me to come live today,
but I promised I would come live with some type
of new episode, so I wanted to just press my
(01:04):
way and get here in your household. I will ask
if you would just share the broadcast with your friends,
your family, your coworkers, church members. Let people know that
the Kim Jacob Show is here live today and we're
going to be talking about a topic that I really
do believe can help each and every one of us. Really,
(01:24):
the topic is for me because I've had so much
personally going on that I've I've had to press, I've
had to press my way to be in your house today.
But right from the comfort of your own home, you
get the opportunity to just hear some points and things
that may make your experience just in your journey just
(01:46):
a little bit smoother. Okay, somebody definitely in the comment section,
just type some comments, some thoughts. Let me know that
you're with me. I know. So sometimes I can see
different ones of you that are on, but I don't
get a chance to always acknowledge you because it may
(02:07):
not be comments being made or different things. So I
don't get a chance to see by looking at my
phone who's on. But I do want to welcome you
to this episode and thank you for being here. Thank
you for all that you always do to support the
Kim Jacob Show. I'm really grateful for CTR Media Network,
(02:28):
who has allowed us as a show the opportunity to
stream in one hundred and forty countries and literally all
different types of outlets ranging from Roku to Apple TV
to you name it on all of the different streaming
devices that are out there through CTR Media Network. By
(02:51):
downloading that app, you can go to the Kim Jacob
Show right on CTR Media Network under this self improvement channel.
And so that's where we are housed if you're ever
looking at it and want to see it on your
television as well. All right, So anyway, glad to have
you here today. Today we're going to be talking about
(03:13):
how to calm some of the chaos. Yeah, it's a
lot of chaos, and it can get you really rout
up and lots happening in the land across the land,
across the world, and if you really get saturated in
what's happening, you can get overwhelmed and it can start
(03:35):
to get the better of you, and not the best,
but the better of you. Right, And so sometimes we
have to pull in the reins and determine what are
we going to do differently to just protect our own space,
What are we going to do to be able to
have something that we can actually be more in control
(03:56):
of ourselves. And so today as we're talking, I just
wanted to find out have you ever felt like your
own life is spinning out? Of control sometimes and nobody
wants to admit that by putting it in the comments
section saying o ooh, me me. Nobody necessarily wants to
be that person that types that. But more of a
(04:17):
rhetorical question, have you ever felt like there was some
piece of your life that was just spiraling and inspiraling
a little bit more than what you would have imagined
for this phase of your life? And I know that
there are times that personally I've been like, hmmm, this
(04:37):
is not going the way that I really wanted to
or the way I expect it to, or I feel
like sometimes that you know, we're stuck in the middle
of something, and it's like we know something's about to shift,
we know something's about to change, but right now you're
in the middle of that situation. And how do we
(04:58):
handle ourselves when we are literally finding ourselves in the
middle of a situation. So today I just want to
be able to share some of the practical ways that
we can calm that storm, calm that chaos that may
be flaring up in your life. And if this is
a topic that you feel would be relevant to you
(05:21):
and helpful to you, I'm definitely going to share it.
With different people. Myself, I have so many different people
that send it over to so people will be jumping
on as well. But make sure you share it also.
And if you're already watching it because you're watching it
on Roku, or you're watching it on Apple TV or
Android TV, then let's just go ahead and jump right in.
(05:43):
How do you calm the storm? How do you calm
the chaos that may be happening in your life? These
are questions that all of us have had some level
of time to just sit with it and to really
determine how am I going to have more in the
middle of everything that's going on. We know that we
(06:05):
can turn the TV on at any time and you
can find some type of political debate happening, whether it's
some type of country warring against another country, you name it,
it's happening. And I looked before I even came on
with some of the trending news was and just to
find out what are some of the trending topics that's happening.
(06:26):
And we all know that there are specific things with
shootings that have happened and what the debates are pertaining
to them, and a lot of them surrounding political views.
We also know that there are some things that's happening
with different countries warring against themselves against another country, and
what might happen in the United States as a result
(06:49):
of it, the different immigration laws and things that's happening,
and how it's impacting people that have been even in
the United States for over thirty years because because of
the new things that's happening now they're being deported. So
lots of things happening, even down to just social media,
different potential bands that might be coming down the pipe,
(07:11):
and how that would impact people with their social media presence,
and all of it can kind of make you feel
like like, oh, you're like, gosh, what's gonna happen, what's
going down? What could the end be? All of the
different things that's happening, even with natural disasters, with flights
that have landed or ended lives in a tragic manner,
(07:36):
a lot of things that can cause us to be
in an uproar and really unsettled. Anybody know what I'm
talking about, Or have you felt any level of anxiety
and just turning on your television, call yourself relaxing, only
to find news that's really disheartening and shaking your spirit.
(08:00):
That's happened. It's happened to me, and I know that
I'm sure it's happened to others as well. So today,
as we talk, I want to talk just from the
perspective of some takeaways as to what we can do
to only control the things that we really can control.
And again, I'm a big believer, as a child of God,
(08:21):
that I don't have control over any of it. Anyway.
I believe that God orchestrates my steps and that I
am here on temporary assignment and that this is my
temporary home. Heaven is my permanent home. And I talk
about that often, but it's because I really do believe that.
I just have the perspective that I don't fear. I
(08:44):
don't fear death, but I also don't like rush it
to happen. So I don't know how other people feel
about it, but when it happens, especially with my loved ones,
my family, my friends, people that I really care about,
for whatever the reason. And even though you think you're prepared,
I'm really never fully prepared emotionally about it. I really
(09:06):
am just not. I don't know if anybody else shares
those sentiments. But how are we going to calm this
chaotic situation that sometimes we are facing. Point number one
that I want you to take away today as we
balance our lives is breathe before you react. Breathe before
(09:30):
And I meant to definitely tag one of my friends, Sharon,
because she is the self care preneur expert. So if
you've not connected with Sharon D. Brown, make sure you
do so, because she has great tips on being an entrepreneur,
self care tips and financial self care as well. So
(09:53):
it's like a well rounded approach and I love her approach,
so make sure you all check with her, but she'll
truly appreciate this. Breathe before you react, that's point number one.
And how do you go about doing that? There is
a method that many of us have heard about, but
I don't know if we actually do it, and so
(10:15):
I'm going to make sure that we take a moment
today and just really practice it on this episode, Okay,
and then you can just apply it even when you're
at work, when you're at church, when you're with your family,
when you're out at an event and you just find
yourself in a stressful mode, these are some things you
can do. Okay, So it's a method that's called four
(10:37):
seven eight, and it's something you can google. It's not
my method or anything. It's just a googleble a google
bule method. And what it allows you to do is
be very intentional about how you're breathing. A lot of
times when we are experiencing life, we're not even properly breathing.
And when I was back in pharmaceutical cells, I used
(10:59):
to do a t where I would take people on
a mental vacation, and so the different offices would have
me come in during their lunch breaks and we would
actually play some really soothing music with bird chirping, and
then we would just go away on a mental vacation.
I would go to Hawaii. Somebody else would go to Alaska.
Somebody else would go to Jamaica. Some people would just
(11:21):
stay right in the States and go to Cleveland wherever
was their happy place. Right and so right now, for
those of you that are on with me, and even
if you're watching it later, take a few minutes to
do this exercise with me. Breathe in for four seconds,
(11:42):
hold your breath for seven seconds, and then exhale for
eight seconds. Okay, So, and it's the count of we're
going to do it together. Let me know you're with me.
Type in here, Kim, I'm doing it. I'm with you.
I'm doing the exercise. I love hands on kind of stuff.
So breathe in. Well, first of all, relax and stretch
(12:11):
and you're going to breathe in. When you breathe in,
your stomach should actually protrude out. So breathe in for
the count of four, hold it for seven seconds, then
(12:36):
exhale for eight seconds. Breathe in for four seconds. I
guess I could a play some music for y'all. Huh.
I don't know if I have any birds chirp in music.
I don't have anything like that over here. Let's see,
(12:58):
I'll just do some daydreaming. Breath then for four seconds,
hold it for seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. Breathe
(13:32):
then for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, exhale
for eight Now again. You can do this where you're
(13:58):
doing it at the count a four or four seconds,
whatever works best for you. But when you breathe in,
you're actually having your stomach protrude out, so you should
be able to hit that belly and your stomach would
be really protruding out if you're properly breathing, so you're
breathing in for four seconds, you are holding it for
(14:21):
seven seconds, and then you are exhaling for eight. So
let's do it one more time, and if you're with me,
put it in the comments section, Kim, I'm doing the exercise.
I'm doing it. I'm here, I'm doing it, okay. So one, two, three,
four is what you're gonna inhale, hold it, exhale for
(14:52):
eight seconds. And if you're doing that properly, what's happening
is you can't help but have less stress because you're
taking the time to be intentional and breathing properly, which
automatically helps lessen some of the stress that's in your shoulders,
(15:17):
in your chest, in your mind. Is just very intentional.
Why because you're focusing on your breathing versus focusing on
the latest breaking news. Oh my gosh, did you see this?
Did you hear that? So much debate and issues over
everything that's happening in the land, and it's only causing
your levels of stress to be heightened. My friend and
(15:41):
I we talked to earlier today and we were talking
about your levels of blood pressure being increased cortisone levels increasing.
It's just a lot of stress, and stress can have
very negative effects on your body, whether you think it
does or you don't. Literally, stress can be a damaging
situation if it's not properly managed. Now, we all have
(16:05):
some level of stress, so when people say, well, I'm
stress free, that means that they passed away because none
of us are stress free. We can have stress less situations,
but we're not stress free. So I hope that just
by point number one, breathing before you react to a
situation is helpful. A lot of the things that we
are responding to on social media, even over the phone
(16:30):
with our friends, with our loved ones, it can easily
be handled in a better way if we choose to
just breathe before we react to the situation that's before us. Okay,
all right, now, making sure point number two that we
control only what we can control, which is very for me.
(16:55):
I'm not in control of much because my life is
in my Master's hands, so I am not in control
of my own life, let alone other people's lives. I
can tell you what I'm ordaining to share with you,
what I'm authorized to share as God's mouth piece, but
at the end of the day, there are some things
that I can control, and there are some things that
(17:16):
I am not able to control that are outside of
my sphere of influence. So we're going to experience some
things in life. We're going to encounter some things in life,
and it's beyond your control. And the sooner we recognize that,
the better we can have better calm over the chaos
(17:37):
that we experience in life. Because it's like no, no,
that is beyond my control. That is something I'm not
able to dictate the outcome of. We cannot determine the
outcome of the weather. We can't determine the outcome of
what somebody else's behavior is going to be and how
they're going to respond or how they're going to treat us.
(17:58):
That is stuff that's beyond my control, what time of
the day it is, how the president is going to
respond to the Israel and Jimas not any control over
any of those things. Okay, All I can do is
make sure that I can control what's in my willhouse
(18:18):
and the things that are assigned to me. I can
govern myself accordingly. I can manage those things accordingly and say, okay,
here's what I know that's within my sphere of influence
that I'm responsible for that God has given me authority
and reign over. I can control those things because He's
given me the power to control it. He's given me
(18:41):
dominion over these things. But the things that are beyond
my control, I can pray and I can ask God
to reverse the situation if it's opposing what I know
is the right thing, and I do that, and I
believe that God answers my prayers. So if you are
a person of faith and you believe with your whole
heart that God does answer and hear your prayers, then
(19:03):
put your petitions before the Lord and say, Lord, please,
this has to stop. Life is being very traumatizing for people,
and this cannot be the will of God. But the
Lord often says, hey, stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord. He knows exactly how things are going
(19:25):
to play out. We only know in part, we only
know in pieces, bite sides pieces, But at the end
of the day, God knows exactly how he plans for
all of this to play out, and He's liked just
not just sit around and do nothing, but just g
know that the salvation of the Lord is at hand
(19:46):
and that he has everything in his plan exactly how
it's going to play out. Okay, all right, So control
what you can, release what you can. Somebody type that
in the comments section. Oh yeah, I see you, say,
and I am with you. I see you, I see you, chourmain.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and your support.
(20:06):
I love you and I appreciate you. Okay, so listen,
make sure you type and let me see. I see
people on Instagram too, so I want to acknowledge you all.
I know y'all are on different platforms and you see
it in all different facets. Some people are hearing it
on iHeartRadio, Amazon Music and all of Spotify so forth.
So thank you wherever you're tuning in to the Kim
(20:28):
Jacob Show, we appreciate you. Control what you can, release
what you can. The sooner we get that in our
in our mindset, life will just be a little bit
more manageable. You can, you can function a little bit better. Okay,
(20:50):
all right? Point number three, Protect your piece, and I'm
saying protected at all costs. I have some friends, when
I'm talking to them, some just have a strong philosophy
when it comes to their piece. It's like, Kim, when
I talk to you, I want to give you my
(21:11):
undivided attention. I don't want any interruptions during our conversation
because this is the time that I have carved out
to talk with you. And I really appreciate that. I
truly appreciate when someone is very intentional about how they're
going to say, Okay, everything else will have to wait
(21:31):
because this is where I am now, and this is
what I plan to focus on, is you. I'm here
with you, and you're going to have my undivided attention.
And actually that's helped me in life to be able
to better understand that there are sometimes that some things
have to just be put on hold so that you
can give the attention to what you're saying is really
(21:54):
the priority. So if something is the priority, then make
it the priority and protect your piece. If something is
trying to stress you out, trying to cause you problems
and chaos, make a conscious decision that you're going to
protect your piece at all costs. Social media and it's
(22:16):
a beautiful thing in my opinion, because I think it's
all in how you look at it and how you
put it in perspective and how you utilize it in
your life. So when I'm on social media, I'm very
intentional about what I'm on there to do. So I'm
putting a specific thing in the search engine. I'm looking
at certain videos that I think would serve, even from
(22:38):
a counseling perspective, for some things that I may be
dealing with in life. So all of my things are
very intentional when it comes to how I handle social media,
what I post on social media, what I look at
on social media, because it's all entering into my spirits,
(22:58):
entering into my heart. And believe it or not, we
can always say, oh, that doesn't bother me, that doesn't
impact me. Yes it does, Yes it does, because stuff
that we allow into our heart, into our soul, it
does impact us. And there are fun things that you're
looking at and you're like, that's fine, that's trending, And
I mean all nobody's like, oh, I'm not gonna look
(23:20):
at social media just for the sheer enjoyment of it all.
I watch social media things that are fine, funny, Oh
my gosh, I can't believe that happened, and I'm like
intrigued to find out what else is about to pop
off in that scenario what they pulled them over raw
and that was a police officer too, who I didn't
know that was gonna happen. And then you see all
(23:41):
of these different things that's happening out here. But really,
at the end of it all, it's like trying to
determine what is getting into your spirit that's a problem.
And if you can identify this is not good for me,
this is not help helping me, this is not helping
(24:02):
me be better in my spirit in some regard, then
that's when you might have to say, let me pull
in the reins on this. Let me put some parameters
and put some barriers around how often I expose myself
to something that's causing me to feel like this, And
feeling like this, you'd have to feel in your own
blanks because everybody can tell you what they think something
(24:24):
should make you feel like, but that may not even
be how it makes you feel. So what works for
one person may work horribly for somebody else, and somebody
else that feels like this works very well for me
may be a disaster in your house. So there are
no specific formulas when it comes to what you should
(24:46):
do in your house that works for you. And what
somebody else should do in their house that works for them.
You have to have some type of thing that or
source that you hang your soul on. For me, I
want to govern myself by the Word of God, and
so I want to look at the Bible and determine
what in the Bible applies to what I'm actually dealing with.
(25:07):
What's the solution that the Bible is saying can be
a solution for my chaos that I'm experiencing, right, and
guess what, we all will have some level of chaos
that we experience in our lives. So it's just a
matter of trying to determine what are some solutions when
I find myself in these storms that are raging in
(25:29):
my life. Because just because you profess that you are
a Christian, or you profess that you are whatever source
you are leaning towards, doesn't prevent you from having chaotic situations,
does not shield you from having things that happen that
were unforeseen, things that happened that were beyond your control.
(25:52):
So it's still going to be some things that happen
regardless of what your spiritual belief is. But it's how
we react, how we handle those situations when they arrive,
that will be able to determine how the outcome of
our destiny. So what we do today can truly determine
the outcome of our destiny. I don't know if you've
(26:14):
ever read this book called Attitude Is Everything by Keith Herrell,
but he talks about Attitude is Everything because attitude determines
your altitude, how high you can really go in life. Now,
he transitioned from this earth, but he did leave some
powerful nuggets. Your attitude determines your altitude. So the attitude
(26:36):
that we walk around with and the attitude that we
display to other people, the behavior that we have, it'll
determine how far we can go in life in many instances.
So learning that principle of life is only nine percent
ninety percent how we react to it and ten percent
(26:59):
what happens to us. A lot of times people have
that flipped. It's like, oh, if this happened, I'm going
in I'm doing this. No, no, no no. Life is
literally only ten percent what happens to us, and it's
ninety percent how we choose to react to what happened
to us. So just because some things happen does not
(27:22):
mean we have to go all in on every situation.
Every battle does not have to be fought. There are
some battles you know that they need to be fought,
and you're like, I can see you, and I see
what you try to do, and I'm not crazy. But
it does not mean that I have to address every battle.
(27:43):
I have to fight every battle. I have to handle
every situation. I have to put everybody in their place.
No God can see what's going on. And there are
some things I need to speak to and there are
others that I need to know, but I don't have
to speak to them. I hope this is helping somebody today.
(28:05):
Protect your peace. Protect your peace is your peace, the
peace that He gives to you that surpasses all understanding.
You need to protect that at all costs because that's yours,
and you have the right to protect your peace how
you choose to. Not everybody may agree with how you
(28:25):
choose to protect your peace, but that's between you and God.
And if that's how you are able to keep your peace,
by keeping people away at bay that are bringing way
too much drama into your world, then it's okay for
you to make a conscious decision to say, you know
what peace be with you. But it ain't gonna be
(28:47):
Chimnis with you. But peace be with you, okay, Because
it's some stuff that's popping off, that's causing too much distress,
too much strain and aggravation. And really, I know, in
my case, there are some things that cause me physical pain.
There are some things that I'm like, you know what,
am I feeling tightness? Am I getting aggravated? For real?
(29:10):
For real? I need to start protecting my piece more.
And God gives you that authority. Nobody else will protect
your piece if you don't. If you don't choose to
protect your own piece, then you get what you get.
And so protecting your piece is very important. Making sure
that we even have these opportunities to create almost like
(29:31):
a ritual, whether it's a morning routine, whether it's that
you're gonna pray before you get going with your day,
whether you're gonna meditate and just think on the goodness
of God and think on the goodness of the things
that's happening in your life, whether you're gonna just every
time I wake up, I drink some water. I have
my cup that I always keep nearby, and that one's empty.
(29:53):
But I have my other cup right here. But in
the morning, I drink that full cup of water, and
then I also make sure that I do the basics,
which we all do in the morning, but I also
pray and I ask God to govern my day. I
play music while I'm getting dressed. It can be upbeat
(30:15):
music and I'm dancing around. It can be music that's soft,
but it praise and worship. I cut on a gospel
station and I just let random music play. That is
just like a shuffling of different songs, and it is
so edifying to my spirit. I feel so uplifted whenever
I do that, and it's my time of just having
(30:37):
that time for myself as I'm getting ready to go
into whatever is going to happen throughout that day. Some
things that I'm looking that I know are going to happen,
and other things I could never imagine would happened. But
at the end of the day, I'm able to protect
my peace. So anybody learning anything, Yes, I see all
(30:58):
of your comments and I'm grateful for them, and I
see your likes and hearts and everything. Make sure that
you anchor yourself in faith and gratitude. You want to
make sure that when we're talking about the level of
chaos that's happening around the world that you take time
to talk about out loud to your family, your friends,
(31:19):
your loved ones. What are you grateful for? What are
you thankful for? If you start practicing having that as
part of your conversations, I promise you the conversations will
go so much better. Hey, I just want to tell
you I love you, I appreciate you, I celebrate you,
I thank you. You are a wonderful person. You have
(31:41):
made a difference in my life. Without you being the
person that you are in my life, I don't even
really know what my life will be like. Taking the
time to express that gratitude to those that you genuinely love,
it makes a huge difference. And even in some of
the time that we're going through right now, if we
(32:02):
just take the time to acknowledge that I'm honored to
be a part of your life. I'm honored to be
a part of this journey with you. I'm thankful for you.
I'm thankful for God assigning you to be my child
for me to be able to have some level of
you being lent to me during this time that we're
(32:25):
here on this earth that God would entrust me to
be your mother. I don't take that for granted. There
are some people in your life that you should take time,
just today or any day, pick up the phone and
call them and let them know how important they are
to you. If we start focusing our conversations and our
(32:46):
efforts on showing gratitude, you can do a social media post,
put the person's picture, say hey, just want to send
a shout out. I'm loving on this person, just thanking
God for this person. There always doing such wonderful things
and I want to celebrate them, celebrate people, love on them.
(33:07):
And I can tell you if you have some conversations
that's grounded and rooted in gratitude, it won't be so
much drama on the phone all the time. Oh you're
getting them, Minave. How about I just tell you I
love you and I'm thinking of you, and I appreciate you,
and I need you. My life is not the same
without you, and so I'm really really honored that God
(33:30):
would allow us to be connected. Now, sometimes people view
that as weakness when you do that, especially if it's
men women relationships, because people will be like, oh, she's
the term thirsty or whatever. I don't know all of
these different terms that's out here. Bottom line is, if
you really are a loving person and you love everybody,
then you should be able to express that sincerely to
(33:52):
the people that you love. But then it can be
misinterpreted too, and you don't want your goodness to be
spoken evil of. So it's such a online especially if
you are if you're a single and out there in
that dating scene, you have to be somewhat careful of
how much love you're pouring on everybody because that can
come across differently than how you may intend for it too. Right,
(34:16):
that's a whole different topic. As far as the gratitude
is concerned, Express gratitude and say thank you, Say how
much you appreciate a person and how valuable they are
in your life. Okay, take time to do that, and
I can guarantee you all the drama, the chaos will
become a little more minimized in that day, in that
(34:38):
particular twenty four hour period if you practice what I'm
talking about here, faith and gratitude, fill the twenty four
hours with that. Today, I'm just gonna thank God for
everything that He's done in my life already, for all
of the people that He's blessed me with in my life.
I'm going to spend time sharing thanks and gratitude. You
(34:59):
will not have a much time to be on the
phone talking about anybody else because you'll be focusing on
the gratitude, the gratefulness, the thankfulness. And if we talk
about ourselves more when we're on the phone, that's plenty
for me to talk about. Okay, I can only talk
for Kim if I talk about Kim alone on the phone.
(35:22):
When I'm on the phone, when I'm on the phone
with my friend Sean, we're talking about ourselves. We're not
talking about anybody else. We don't need to. But until
we finish talking just about us and our families, our
own families, the conversation is done. We've had enough talking.
It's time to rock and roll and go on to
the next phase of life. But to fill every conversation.
(35:42):
I hear different conversations with people, and I'm like, you're
kidding me. The entire time you're talking to somebody, it's
about somebody else. That is such a waste of life,
and hence more chaos is infused in trading into both
parties lives because it's constantly talking about other people. Constantly
(36:09):
focus on your own faith and your own gratitude and
what God has done for you and what He's going
to do for you. Even if you feel like I
have anything to be grateful for, I don't know what
I'm thinking him for. Think about the things that you
desire to have happen. What are some of your goals
and dreams that you would like to see become a
(36:29):
reality in your life. I share those with my friends.
I'm like, Oh my gosh, I can I wait for
God to do this? I can I wait for God
to bless me with this. I cannot wait. And I'm
talking about me, not about other people and what went
right or wrong based on what I observed in their lives.
That is for the birds. No need to talk about
(36:49):
anybody else when we can just talk about ourselves. All right?
Am I helping somebody today? I really hope so, because
I really believe that if we anchor ourselves in faith
and gratitude, it will calm It'll just calm some of
the chaos that we are experiencing in this world. These
(37:13):
are things you can control, the things that I'm sharing
with you today, And I believe that they should be
helpful to you because I came on and went live
for myself. I actually came on just for me today,
and I was talking to somebody right before, and I
was like, Oh my gosh, just taking all in me
to just push go live. And the reason it was
taking that much time for me to push go live
(37:35):
is because I was like, oh, Lord, it's just so
much always happening, and I'm like, I rebuke it in
Jesus' name. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus.
And I'm asking you to just calm the storm, calm
the chaos. And so I had to come on and
go live just so that I could put out in
(37:57):
the atmosphere that I love the Lord, that he is
in control of my life, that he said that no
weapon formed against me shall prosper. It may form, as
my aunt was saying, and as she was ministering yesterday,
it may form, but it won't prosper. I am more
than a conqueror. I am Kim. You are more than
(38:20):
a conqueror. Girl. You're not just average. You are more
than a conqueror. So I can do all things through Christ,
who strengthens me. There is nothing too hard for God,
and so sometimes you have to put it out in
an atmosphere what it is that you believe, so that
God has something to work with. All right, all right?
(38:40):
Point number five point number five. Community and connection. Community
and connection will also help minimize some of the chaos
that we experience, some of the storms that we are
going through. Sometimes we're on an island by ourselves. And
when you are on an island by yourself, that's when
(39:02):
you do get what you get. But if you can
form alliances and say, hey, you know what, I'm over
here having a little bit of a challenge today. When
I call my friend and I talk to my friends,
guess what they rally together around me, say a word
of prayer. I don't need just friends that's just talking.
I need some friends that's gonna pray me through and
(39:25):
that's gonna pray with me, not oh I'll pray for you.
And then we hang up and they still ain't pray
for me. Wasn't world. I need a friend that will pray.
Right then on the phone with me, I said, I
need prayer, Pray for me, Pray for a sister now.
And that's the type of friend that I am to people.
If they say they any prayer I'm praying right then,
(39:47):
and it may not even be all of the perfect
eloquent words or whatever, but the prayer is real, the
prayer is sincere, the prayer reaches God's ears. He's inclining
his ear and hearing my prayer. And I know that
community and connection is critical to anybody that's dealing with chaos.
(40:09):
If you don't have a tribe of people that you
can pick up the phone and call, get on your
social media page and be a part of that private
page and say, hey, what are some thoughts about this,
I'm dealing with this, I'm going through this, then you
don't need to be a part of that community because
you need people that have your back, that have your front,
(40:31):
that have your side, that have your top and beneath
you need some ride or does that's saying, you know what,
I'm here for you and not everybody is against you.
A lot of times we deal with the world system
where it's like, ooh, everybody's out to get something and
somebody's out to stab you in the back and hurt
(40:52):
you and harm you. But not everybody's that way. Not
everybody wants to see you fall. Are some people that
are cheering you on, that are underneath the iceberg, pushing
you up, saying.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
God, allow her light to shine, Allow his light to shine,
Allow him to get everything that you have ever purposed
in his life, everything that you've ever purposed in her life.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Lord, let them be the head and not the tail.
Let them be the lender and not the bar. I
need friends, and you need friends that will pray for
you full circle to make sure some great things become
a true reality in your life. Community and connection are
(41:43):
critically important, so make sure you find your tribe. If
you haven't already found one, you need to find one
that you feel comfortable with if you're interested at all
in being a part of Walk by Faith Network. We
have a big zoom coming up on this well I
should time stamp this, but anyway, if you're watching this
on September fifteenth, twenty twenty five, then on Wednesday, September seventeenth,
(42:10):
twenty twenty five, then make sure you know we have
a zoom where we're going to be talking about. Branding
is free for you to come and be a part
of it. Just reach out to me and I will
send you the zoom link and you can be a
part of a wonderful training by a branding expert that's
going to be sharing some great tips on how to
amplify your presence. So you want to get that Zoom
(42:32):
link and be there on this Wednesday at six o'clock
pm if you have not already registered. It's a gift.
It's free to the community, so you can be a
part of it and let me know. I'll send you
the Zoom link. And if you're watching this as a replay,
it's okay, it'll be something still happening. Just reach out
to me and say, Kim, whatever you have coming up next,
(42:53):
I want to be a part of it. Walk by
Faith Network is a network with people that are walking
by Faith, that are business owners, business entrepreneurs, and they
believe in our Lord and they want to be able
to exercise their faith and talk about the Lord in
any aspect of business or life. So y'all can be
(43:14):
a part of it, all right, and it's a gift
for you to come and be a part of this
upcoming Zoom When we have face to face events, we
have to be able to cover certain things the building,
fees and food and so forth. So there is a
charge for those in person events, all right, So community
and connection. You may have to weather the storm, but
you don't have to weather it alone. You don't have
(43:34):
to weather every storm alone. You're not on an island
by yourself. So making sure that you're not in this
isolated bubble where you're like, oh, I'm just silently wilting away,
I'm quitting on my own without anybody knowing it. Stop.
You have people that care about you, You have people
that love you. And if nobody's told you that they
(43:57):
love you, I'm telling you right now, I love you.
I love you, and it's not hard for me to
tell you I love you. And whether I know you
or I don't, it does not even matter to me
at all, because I love you regardless. And that's why
I have a fundamental problem with people that say that
(44:18):
they don't. They don't not explain it. And I don't
want to be condemning of even the people that do this,
but I have a huge problem because of God requires
us to have love one for another, one to another,
one to another. Okay, we're supposed to love people. There
are some things that people do that are downright crazy
(44:42):
and they are hard to love, that's for sure. Very
difficult to love, definitely difficult to like, right, but it's
still requirement that we still have love one to another.
And so there are times when there are times when
I go through scenarios and situations where I'm like, Oh,
(45:04):
that person's really really, really really vexing me and I
don't really care or even like their behavior, but I
do love every person, and that's what I'll say. I'll
leave it at that, Okay, all right, So that was
the point number five and we're almost done here because
that was it community and connection, and I wanted us
(45:25):
to understand that as we go through life, our storms
will not last forever. They're not gonna last for ever.
There are times when we go through some high tides,
and then there are times when it's smooth sailing, and
then there are times when it's like whoa, the winds
are and the waves are rocky and and tumultuous, but
(45:45):
it's like, oh, eventually it levels back out. But we
need to be able to know that the trouble is
not going to always last, and the chaos in our
lives that we experience, we will have some high mowned
some low moments. And I have to talk about Paul
Apostle Paul in the Bible all the time. He experienced
so many afflictions, but as far as he was concerned,
(46:09):
they were light compared to what our Lord and Savior
had to endure. But I mean he experienced quite a
bit as a human being, pretty much as I'm even
a martyr. He was really a hot mess with all
of the stuff he was experiencing. So other people that
looked at him being beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, all of the
(46:29):
things he was going through could easily be like you'
no child of God, look at all he going through.
But at the end of the day, God knows the
different seasons we're going to experience, and there is a
time and a season for everything under the sun, time
that we're going to live, and a time that we're
going to die. There's a lot of different seasons that
(46:50):
we're going to go through. But as we go through them,
keep in mind we can only control the things that
we can control. So as I go back, I'll just
recap breathe before you react. Number two, make sure you
control what you can and release the things that you
cannot control. Protect your piece at all costs. Protect that
(47:14):
piece is yours and you have the right to protect it.
Make sure you anchor yourself in faith and gratitude and
find a community and stay connected so that you're not
feeling like you are isolated on an island by yourself.
You're not on an island by yourself. There's somebody that
(47:34):
cares about you and that wants to see you succeed.
Not everybody is against you. So I hope that has
encouraged you today. I do want to tell you a
couple of brief announcements things that's happening, and I saved
it for the end on purpose because I want to
make sure that I share some upcoming things this Sunday,
(47:56):
September twenty First, again, if you're watching the replay, you

the comments section inbox me let me know it is
truly my honor to pray with you, or one of
our leaders will call and pray with you as well.
(51:37):
And the final thing that I'll share is in loving
memory of my granddad, Granddaddy Key. He transitioned to be
with the Lord and we had his homegoing celebration of
life this past weekend, and I just want my granddad
to know that he will be missed and we love, love,
(51:58):
love him. He's my last living grandparent, So I just
wanted to put his picture up and let you all
know that my granddad he loved the Lord and is
with the Lord. And I told somebody the story that
I was able to scratch his dandre from when I
was younger, but I was able to scratch his soul
(52:21):
in his eighties. And I'm so grateful that God used
me as a vehicle to be able to just recite
certain scriptures with him. And I'm so honored that that
would be a role that God trusted me with in
during that phase of his life. All right, all right,
that's today's episode. I hope it bless somebody today. Calming
(52:44):
that chaos that we experienced. I feel better. So I'm
really glad I came on live because I needed to
be able to just get that off of me. So
as we close out, we will just breathe together properly
because we're going to go on with the rest of
our day. We're gonna breathe in four count. We're gonna
(53:05):
hold it for seven count, and then we're gonna breathe
out for eight count. Do it with me, and let's
see if we can play just a little bit of
music as we as we let's see. Breathe in h.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
