0:00I'm Landon Shot. This is Spiritual
0:01Leadership, where we're helping leaders
0:03become spiritual leaders. Today, I'm
0:05going to be teaching you how to increase
0:07your capacity. Far too often, people
0:09look to the outside to help them
0:11increase capacity when you first need to
0:14look on the inside. I'm going to teach
0:15you how I learned to increase my
0:17capacity and how to increase your
0:20capacity. Let's get after it.
0:25>> [music]
0:37>> Far too many people hit capacity and
0:40immediately look on the outside for help
0:42or hire people instead of first
0:44increasing their own capacity. It would
0:47be like you having a an orange tree and
0:50you just go and pick the oranges that
0:52you can reach versus going to get a
0:54ladder and going to get the other ones.
0:56A lot of times there's much more
0:58capacity inside us than we realize. And
1:01we're always looking to outside sources
1:03instead of developing us as leaders.
1:06Capacity is spiritual and practical.
1:09Increasing your capacity increases your
1:11ability to produce spiritual fruit. You
1:14all know Luke 16. The Bible says,
1:16"Whoever is faithful with little will be
1:18rulers or be responsible over much."
1:22It's an important principle to
1:23understand that as we learn how to
1:26increase our capacity, God will entrust
1:28us with more things to lead. Early in my
1:32ministry, I would get frustrated with
1:34things I was going through or attacks of
1:36the enemy or uh leadership scenarios and
1:40I would pray and complain to the Lord.
1:43And one day I'm driving and I said this
1:45prayer to the Lord. It was kind of just
1:46a complaint. I said, 'Lord, I can't
1:48handle anymore. And as soon as I said, I
1:51can't handle anymore. The Lord corrected
1:53me. And here's what he said to me. He
1:54said, "You realize you're asking me not
1:57to bless you." I'm like, "No, no, I'm
1:58not asking you not to bless me. I want
1:59you to bless me. I'm telling you, I
2:02can't handle this stress. I can't handle
2:03this stuff." And here's what he
2:05corrected me again. He said, "No, you're
2:06asking me not to give you more things
2:09that will bless you." So I said to the
2:12Lord, "Okay, what am I supposed to
2:14pray?" And the Lord spoke to me and
2:16said, "Ask me for the ability to handle
2:19more." The Lord was teaching me
2:20stewardship. I just didn't know it was
2:22stewardship at the time. See, if you
2:24tell God you can't handle more, you're
2:27asking him not to bless you. You're
2:30asking him not to entrust you with more.
2:32What you're saying is, "Lord, I just
2:34want to steward little." Now, I know
2:37that's not what you're intentionally
2:38doing, but that is what's happening when
2:41you ask God to remove responsibilities
2:44or leadership from your life. You need
2:47to ask the Lord to increase your
2:50capacity. So, here's the wild part. No
2:52matter how good of a leader you are,
2:54everyone needs their capacity increased.
2:58So, today I'm going to give you my five
3:00steps for increasing your capacity. And
3:03this is how I've increased mine. Number
3:05one starts with identifying. You need to
3:08identify what are your most important
3:10goals, responsibilities or tasks. You
3:13need clarity. What are you responsible
3:15for? Whether your job, your ministry
3:17area, whatever it is. Proverbs 27:23
3:20says you need to know the conditions of
3:22your flocks. This means that you have to
3:24pay close attention to your
3:26responsibilities. What are the things
3:28that you're responsible for so that you
3:30could steward them well? If you do not
3:33identify, if you are not aware of
3:35everything that you're responsible for,
3:37it is impossible for you to increase
3:39your capacity because you're always spur
3:41the moment here, running over here, fix
3:43that, do this. You're not intentional
3:45with what you're doing. So, you need to
3:47identify what is everything that God has
3:50put in my care for me to steward. Step
3:53two, prioritize. This is the most
3:56important step of this strategy. If you
4:00want to increase your capacity, you must
4:02know what are your priorities. When I
4:04say priorities, here's what I mean.
4:06Priorities are the set of primary
4:08focuses, responsibilities, outcomes, or
4:11assignments that you steward in your
4:14role. This is important. What are the
4:16most important things that you have been
4:19tasked to do? If you hear one thing in
4:21this podcast, hear this. If you do not
4:24know your priorities, then it is
4:27impossible for you to increase your
4:29capacity. This is really where it
4:32starts. I hear this all the time. People
4:34want to be a better leader. They want to
4:36grow, but they cannot identify or
4:38articulate what they're responsible for.
4:41How in the world are you [snorts] going
4:43to get better at stewarding your
4:46assignments, increasing your capacity if
4:48you don't even know what's most
4:50important? Some people will push back
4:51and say, "Well, everything is most
4:53important." I would push back on you and
4:55say, "If everything's important, nothing
4:57is important." You must know in
4:59priorities what are the most important
5:02things. You steward and you're
5:04responsible. Priorities are different
5:06for everyone. Okay? So, different
5:08priorities exist and everyone has unique
5:11top priorities and they may not and most
5:14likely will not match. But we have to
5:16value each other's differences in our
5:18priorities. Just because they're
5:20different doesn't mean ours are better
5:22than theirs. It means that we value them
5:24differently or we have different top
5:26priorities. We really need team unity
5:29when it comes to priorities. This
5:30prevents offense or disunityity or
5:32friction because we're aware how we look
5:36differently at each other's priorities.
5:37So, let's talk about how to evaluate or
5:40order your priorities. So, you need to
5:42ask yourself, what are you responsible
5:45for or what do you do that no one else
5:47can do? What are you best at? What are
5:50your primary responsibilities? Is there
5:52anything that you're doing that you
5:54should not be doing? Is there anything
5:55you're doing and you don't know why
5:57you're doing it? Is there anything
5:58you're doing that isn't effective? This
6:00will help you determine what's the
6:02difference between a true priority and
6:05something that may just be important or
6:06something that you're passionate about.
6:08Now, this is important. Your passions
6:10are most likely not your priorities.
6:13Sometimes they can be, but not all the
6:15times they are. Usually when you're
6:16younger in life, the thing that you're
6:18most passionate about shouldn't be your
6:20priority. So, you need to learn that
6:22immature leaders do what they're
6:24passionate about most instead of
6:27figuring out what are their priorities.
6:29Self-reflecting questions could help you
6:32identify what your main priorities
6:34should be. If I could only do three
6:36things in life, three things in my job,
6:38what would they be? This will help you
6:40begin to narrow down what is the most
6:42important things in your life and are
6:45you doing the most important thing. Once
6:47you understand your priorities, it
6:49allows you to understand other people's
6:51priorities. This really helped in my
6:53marriage. Now, Heather and I's
6:55relationship is unique because we've
6:57been married for over 20 years. We're
6:58best friends, but we also work together.
7:01So, we work together in stewarding mercy
7:02culture. And as we work together, we
7:05would find ourselves where we would have
7:07friction at times. And the reason why we
7:09have friction at times were similar to
7:11uh race cars, you know, tearing off the
7:13the starting line together and they
7:14would bump into each other. There'd be
7:16friction as both of us are leading
7:17strong. We had to learn how to realize
7:21the difference in our priorities.
7:23Because she would say, "Hey, this is
7:25really important. Why are you acting
7:26like this isn't important?" What she was
7:27really saying is this is my number one
7:29priority. And I would respond and say,
7:31"No, that's a number five priority." So
7:34she would think this is my number one,
7:36but to me was number five. or vice
7:38versa, my number one might be her number
7:39three or four. And we found oursel in
7:42tension at times until we understood how
7:46we had different priorities. So it's not
7:48that hers are not more important than
7:50mine. It just means they are not in the
7:52same order. And when you understand each
7:55other's priorities, it will allow you to
7:56be a better teammate because you could
7:59understand why people come with the
8:00passion that they have because of the
8:03difference of priority. See, if you
8:05don't understand this, you could fall
8:06into the trap of siloing yourself. See,
8:09this is where you think that no one
8:11cares about what is important to me and
8:13and you make everybody else a bad guy
8:15and you're like, "No one cares about
8:17this." When the truth is is you care
8:19about it and it's your number one
8:21priority. So, you don't have to go and
8:23degrade and dishonor everybody else's
8:26number one priority. What you do is you
8:28show them this is important to me and
8:30this is why. See, if you have a a
8:33priority that no one else has in the
8:35entire organization, you may be out of
8:37alignment of vision. It may be something
8:40where you're doing something that you
8:41shouldn't be doing and you're trying to
8:43get everybody else to do something that
8:45only you want to do. We see this in Luke
8:4810 where Jesus corrects Martha for not
8:52having the same priorities that Mary
8:54had. So Martha was trying to get Mary to
8:57do what she was doing. And Jesus had to
9:00correct Martha and said, "Mary's
9:01priority is not your priority. Martha,
9:03your priority is serving. Mary's
9:05priority is sitting at my feet." Once
9:07again, they were at odds with each
9:10other. Martha was frustrated with Mary
9:12because their priorities were different.
9:15So until you learn how to properly
9:19increase the value of your priority,
9:21you're going to be at odds with other
9:23people. This is really important. You
9:25increase the value of your priority by
9:28stewardship is not by it being loud,
9:31obnoxious or dishonoring others. You get
9:35it noticed by the amazing stewardship
9:38you have for your priority. And when you
9:41steward it well, it will create value on
9:44someone else's priority. We have a
9:46ministry a part of mercy culture. It's
9:48called Return Texas. And during the year
9:50of reformation, God spoke to people in
9:52our congregation that used to be
9:54incarcerated to go and be a part of
9:56prison ministry and go to those people
9:58that are in prison and bring connect
10:00with God in ministry. So bunch of people
10:01from the church, they started doing it
10:03and it's been this thing that's just
10:05grown explosively. They're in some of
10:07the largest prisons in Texas and it's
10:09beautiful. It's all they've done is
10:11stewarded well what God told them to do.
10:14Now the value of it is coming up in our
10:17church. It's becoming more important to
10:19everybody because how well they have
10:21stewarded their ministry. Please let me
10:23help you spiritually grow. Complaining
10:27about your leaders, complaining about
10:30how much help you're getting will not
10:33help move your priorities up other
10:36people's lists. It will not create more
10:38value. Listen, you cannot dishonor your
10:41leaders and other people and create more
10:44value for what you're passionate about.
10:46You create value by stewarding it well.
10:49And here's the truth. When you steward
10:51something well, more than your leader
10:53seeing it, God sees it. See, David was
10:56stewarding well in a field. And God
10:58noticed him. And when you steward well,
11:00you don't need your leaders. You don't
11:02need your pastors. You don't need people
11:03to see it to finance it. You need God to
11:05see it. So steward well. Number three,
11:08it's time to remove stuff. See, you
11:10remove the items from your list that
11:13aren't your top priority. Acts chapter 6
11:16gives us some insight. It says this, "It
11:18is not right that we should give up
11:20preaching the word of God to serve
11:22tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out
11:23from among you seven men of God that
11:26have good reputations that we could
11:28devote ourselves to prayer and the
11:30ministry of the word." So, there was
11:31tension in the New Testament church.
11:34People were complaining that their needs
11:36weren't being met, the ministry wasn't
11:38being done. And Paul said this, "It is
11:40not my priority. My priority is prayer
11:43and the teaching of the word or
11:44ministry." So, watch what he did. He
11:47removed things from his list that are
11:50important to do, but they weren't his
11:52top priority. And it moves us to number
11:55four. The things that you removed from
11:58your list, those are what you empower.
12:00You empower the priorities or the tasks
12:03that are not your main ones. So,
12:06everything that you remove from your
12:07list, now you get to empower to other
12:10people. It's important that you
12:12communicate and train them clearly for
12:14their success. We see this in the Old
12:16Testament in Exodus chapter 18 where
12:19Moses imparted leadership and removed
12:21leadership and gave empowered
12:23leadership. And we see it in second
12:24Timothy where they did it in the New
12:26Testament. So again, here we are. We
12:29identify responsibilities, we
12:31prioritize, we remove, we empower, and
12:35then the fifth thing is we repeat the
12:37process every six months. You say, why
12:39do you do it every six months? because
12:41you're always increasing your capacity.
12:43So, this same thing will happen over and
12:45over approximately every 6 months to a
12:47year and you're going to have to repeat
12:49the process. People say this all the
12:52time. They say, "Landon, how do you
12:53accomplish everything that you do? All
12:55of the campuses and all the cities, all
12:57the ministries, how do you do it?" And
12:59the truth is is I don't do what you
13:01think I do. I do my priorities and I do
13:05them very well and I empower everything
13:08else. So mercy culture is constantly
13:11increasing because so many people are
13:13staying in their lane doing their
13:15assignment their their priorities and
13:17empowering everything else. Then
13:20everyone is increasing their capacity
13:23together and you're seeing this massive
13:26growth happen because so many people are
13:28at higher capacities leading at a high
13:31level. This is how I learned how to
13:33increase my capacity. And if you do
13:36these five steps, you will increase your
13:38capacity. So let's recap. Capacity is
13:41spiritual and it's a practical issue.
13:43Increasing your capacity is increasing
13:46your spiritual fruit. Priorities and
13:48empowerment are the key factors to
13:51increasing your capacity. [music] And
13:53you need to look on the inside before
13:55you focus on the outside. Let's pray.
13:58Jesus, you are the greatest leader who
14:00ever walked the face of the earth and
14:02you help us increase [music] capacity.
14:05So, Holy Spirit, I pray right now what
14:07you taught me to pray all those years
14:10ago. I pray that you would give me the
14:12ability [music] to handle and steward
14:14more. And I pray that over my friends
14:17right now. Would you give them the
14:19ability to handle and steward more? So I
14:22ask right now by your spirit, [music]
14:24would you increase the capacity and the
14:26ability to steward, Lord? I pray that
14:29your grace would be on us. I pray that
14:32you would teach us how to lead. [music]
14:33You would teach us how to lead like you.
14:35We ask this now in Jesus' name. We pray.
14:38Speak Lord, your servants listening.
14:40Amen.
14:45At Mercy Culture Spiritual [music]
14:46Leadership School, we recognize that
14:48leaders are everywhere, but spiritual
14:49leaders are developed. Spiritual leaders
14:51[music] walk with God and know his
14:52voice. The heart of our school is to
14:54raise up reformers who were able to
14:56spiritually [music] lead in any room
14:58they walk into. We do this through
14:59encounters, teaching and impartation,
15:02service, equipping, and activation. You
15:05can attend SLS in person or online. If
15:08you'd like more [music] information,
15:09text SLS to 5990.
15:15Let me give you [music] some practical
15:16advice. I have seven things for you
15:18today. Number one, implement steps one
15:21through five. Identify, prioritize,
15:24remove, empower, and re-evaluate. Do
15:27this every 6 months to a year. Number
15:30two, proactively seek and give feedback
15:33from trustworthy sources. Quickly
15:36identify why you resist feedback from
15:38others and how to give feedback quicker.
15:41This will help you increase your
15:43capacity because you're constantly
15:45learning and getting better at what you
15:47do. Number three, build trust quickly
15:50with people. Do not let time go by and
15:54lose the opportunities to build trust.
15:56At Mercy Culture, we say this, we lean
15:58into awkward. So, here's what that
15:59means. There's always these situations
16:02that things get awkward. And when things
16:03get awkward, most people lean away or
16:06pull away. And that's where a lack of
16:08trust gets in. So, when we feel weird
16:11stuff that causes us not to trust, we
16:13lean in and we build relationship. So
16:16you can't let days, weeks, and months go
16:18by when you feel awkwardness in your
16:20relationships. As soon as you feel that
16:22awkwardness, immediately real time, try
16:25to build trust. When you do this, you're
16:27going to increase your effectiveness,
16:29your capacity, and your teammates.
16:31Number four, embrace empowerment. I get
16:34asked all the time, what's the secret
16:35sauce of mercy culture? And there's no
16:37secret. It's just the sovereign favor
16:39grace of God. I I'm not a good enough
16:41leader. No one's a good enough leader.
16:42This is the divine hand of God. When I
16:44started the church, I was thinking about
16:46how many amazing ministries do I know of
16:48that have tons of great leaders coming
16:50out of them. And unfortunately, I
16:52couldn't think of them. Most of them
16:54were built around one guy or one
16:56ministry. So then I started thinking,
16:58what would it look like if we empowered
17:00people on a level I've never seen
17:02modeled before? Radical empowerment,
17:05scary empowerment. People can burn you.
17:07Empowerment. You come to Mercy Culture,
17:09if you're submitted, if you're part of
17:11this church, if you're committed to the
17:12culture, you will be empowered. And
17:14here's what we do. We empower with the
17:16108010 rule. What does that mean? 10% is
17:20casting vision. So the leader gives the
17:22first 10%. It's vision direction. The
17:24next 80% that's what we empower. You
17:27have 80% to run. That's a lot of
17:30decision-making power that you have.
17:32Then we'll give you 10% feedback. So
17:34here we go. You have 10% vision or
17:36direction, 80% empowerment, 10%
17:39feedback, and then your leaders are
17:41involved, but you're empowering new
17:42people to make a lot of decision to make
17:45high impact. Everybody increases their
17:47capacity. Number five, communicate
17:50clearly. Man, miscommunication is one of
17:54the fastest ways to mess up your
17:56organization to cause disunityity in the
17:58team. Constant opportunities, whether
18:01it's lack of tone in Slack messages or
18:03text messages or people joking and not
18:06sure if they were serious, all these
18:07different things can really break team
18:10unity and then in fact decrease
18:12capacity. So, here's something I do on a
18:15regular basis when I'm leaving a meeting
18:16that I may feel a little confusion,
18:18awkward, or tension. I'll say this, what
18:21did you hear me say? I will ask the
18:23person in the meeting to tell me despite
18:26what my words were, what did they hear
18:29when I said them? When they can
18:31articulate back to me what I meant, I
18:33know I communicated well. If they
18:35articulate back to me something I did
18:37not mean, I was like, "Okay, I need to
18:39communicate better." This will help us
18:41all increase our capacity. Number six,
18:43revisit the standards of your ministry
18:45or your life at least twice a year.
18:47Evaluate the major areas and make sure
18:50that you are raising the standards where
18:52you need and you're increasing in
18:54excellence. Do not just settle for
18:57random. Be intentional. Set standards
19:00then raise the standards. Finally,
19:02number seven, ask the Lord daily for the
19:05ability to steward and handled more.
19:08Just like we prayed together at the end
19:10of that teaching, put that a part of
19:11your daily encounter every day. Pray and
19:13ask the Lord to increase your capacity
19:15and make you a better steward. He will
19:18increase your capacity. The goal of the

19:54Asking questions is a great way to
19:56spiritually grow. I'm going to answer
19:57your questions about increasing
19:59capacity. First question, how can a
20:01leader know if they need to stretch
20:03their capacity or if they're already at
20:05their limit? Great question and I'd push
20:08back on that question. I don't believe a
20:09leader ever gets to the place where
20:12you're done increasing your capacity. So
20:15watch, you may be at your limit for a
20:18season, but remember in step number five
20:20was repeat the process every 6 months.
20:22The reason why that's a part of the step
20:24is to re reevaluate because you always
20:26get stronger. Think about when you
20:28worked out and you started at a certain
20:30weight and then you get stronger and you
20:31do more weight. Or when you ran and get
20:33ready for the Justice Marathon and you
20:35could only run a certain far or a
20:37certain length or certain time and then
20:38you beat it. So the longer you do
20:40something, your capacity should be more
20:43and more effective. I've been preaching
20:45the gospel for 20 years. I'm still
20:47working on increasing my capacity when
20:50[snorts] it comes to communication. It's
20:52this constant thing I'm working at. And
20:54so you may hit your limit, but here's
20:56what you need to understand is that your
20:58limit should only be a short period of
21:01time because you should be growing and
21:03getting better at what you're doing.
21:05Your priorities are constantly changing
21:08and then you're you're having those
21:10priorities that are not the top
21:11priorities moved off your list and
21:13empowered to other people. So it should
21:15be a constant process that the moment
21:17you're hitting capacity, you should be
21:19already removing things to gain a new
21:22capacity. Next question. If my plate is
21:24full and an opportunity comes that is
21:27outside my top five priorities, do I
21:30even need to pray about it? Yes and no.
21:32I would never want to answer a question
21:34ever that you shouldn't pray about
21:36something. You should always pray about
21:38stuff. Okay? I'm not talking about
21:39things that are unbiblical. You don't
21:41pray about leaving your spouse. You
21:43don't pray about, you know, uh adopting
21:45an unbiblical theology. But here's what
21:47I mean. If you're constantly with the
21:49Lord, daily encountering, and you're
21:51constantly seeking his heart and his
21:54mind, if those prayers are part of your
21:56daily prayer life, then you're always
21:59going to be leaning into what does the
22:01Lord want and what pleases him. And so,
22:04when you have that disposition, you'll
22:06always pray about things. I I I'll be at
22:08situations or or have conflict and
22:10Heather and I will disagree about
22:12something and then one of us will say,
22:13"Well, would you pray about it?" And I
22:15could be very very sure of what I want
22:17to do, but praying about it can shift
22:20things. It can shift priorities. So I
22:22would say always ask the Lord about
22:25important things. But when you're daily
22:27with the Lord, you should be feeling
22:29that synergy, that unity with the
22:32presence of God, with the perfect will
22:33of God. And you should be knowing his
22:35heart and mind. So when new things that
22:37are coming in, you should probably feel
22:39somewhat of, hey, this this this might
22:40be the Lord. And that's when you're
22:42really leaning in to pray specifically
22:44about those things if it should be one
22:45of the main priorities that you're
22:47participating in. Next question. Does
22:49increasing capacity come from adding
22:52more weight or from laying some down?
22:55Capacity comes from better stewardship.
23:00So when you steward better, you're rep
23:02prioritizing. You're better managing
23:04better systems, better strategy, more
23:07effective. So at [snorts] that you're
23:10able to add more weight. Laying down
23:13seems like you're giving something up. I
23:15don't like laying down. Empowering is
23:17different. So when you're empowering,
23:19you're giving what you were doing to
23:21someone else that can do it like you
23:23would do it. And you're giving them
23:25example. You're giving them an
23:26opportunity. You're giving them a
23:28platform for their leadership to grow.
23:31At the same time, you're still
23:33accomplishing a task or priority. So the
23:35overall mission is growing. You're just
23:37getting stronger together. So, yes, you
23:40add more weight and yes, kind of you lay
23:43it down, but it's really not laying
23:44down. It's empowerment. Next question.
23:46How do I maximize my influence and lead
23:49effectively in areas where I'm not
23:52passionate? Grow up. Immature people
23:56only live in their passions. I've done a
23:59teaching on healthy versus unhealthy
24:01teams. And people that don't operate in
24:04their passions, that don't hard work,
24:05that don't faithfully serve, that can't
24:07serve someone else's vision, they are
24:09usually the least effective, lowest,
24:12most immature leaders in the church
24:15world because they're selfish. They're
24:17unfocused, and they only prioritize
24:20what's important to them. You look at
24:22the greatest leaders that led in the
24:25Bible. You look at the Joshua's, you
24:27look at the Elishas, you look at the
24:30Timothys, all of them served other
24:32leaders. They became great leaders by
24:36serving other leaders. So your passion
24:39should be to please God. Your passion
24:41should be to serve the Lord. Jesus said
24:43the greatest in the kingdom are the
24:45servants. That's how he interpreted it.
24:48The what makes you a great leader is
24:50your ability to serve, not the
24:53motivation or the source of your
24:54passion. Last question. How do I
24:56increase my capacity without sacrificing
24:59my health or my family? That's a great
25:02question. It's really subjective on
25:04where you are in life and what your true
25:06capacity is. I meet young leaders all
25:08the time that are in their late teens,
25:11early 20s, not married, don't have kids,
25:13tired all the time, and have the the the
25:16capacity of a broken toy, and are not
25:18that effective. And the truth is is
25:20they're lazy, they're not hardworking,
25:22they don't have a strong threshold,
25:24they're not dedicated, they're not
25:25faithful. These are things they're in
25:27the process of learning. And so, it's
25:29going to take time to learn those
25:30things. Then there's other people that
25:32maybe you're a single mom and you want
25:35to be a part of the church constantly
25:37and involved in everything because you
25:40feel peace and you feel the presence of
25:42God and you feel life when you're around
25:43the community, but you got kids at home
25:46that need their mom. You have to make
25:48sure that your kids are doing that with
25:50you, that you're not doing it on your
25:52own and leaving them behind. So
25:54depending on your life circumstance will
25:56change the difference. Here's what I
25:58know keeps you healthy. What keeps you
26:00healthy is daily encountering and
26:02sabbathing well. If you do those things
26:05well, I have never met anyone who's
26:07unhealthy when they don't do those
26:10things well. Because when you're daily
26:12encountering, he's speaking to you. He's
26:15ministering to you. He's delivering you.
26:17When you're sabbathing, you're resting
26:18in God. You're getting your strength
26:20back. You're recharging. And usually
26:23when you do those two things well,
26:26you're going to increase your capacity
26:27despite what the things you're involved
26:29in. I wanted to take a moment and talk
26:31about one of the greatest injustices of
26:33our time. It's human trafficking. Right
26:35now, there are fewer than 700 long-term
26:39restoration [music] beds nationwide for
26:41survivors of human trafficking. I'm
26:43going to say that again. 700 nationwide
26:46with millions and millions of people
26:49that are trafficked. only [music] 700
26:51places for them to go to answer this cry
26:54of justice. Our church has birthed a
26:56ministry called the Justice [music]
26:58Reform. Right now in Fort Worth, Texas,
27:00the Justice Reform is building a
27:02long-term restoration home called the
27:04Justice [music] Residence. It will house
27:06up to 100 women rescued out of human
27:09trafficking. The Justice Residence is a
27:11biblically based and presence-driven
27:13[music] facility that will disciple
27:15hundreds of women into healing and
27:17restoration with Jesus. I wanted to ask
27:19you and invite you to become a [music]
27:21monthly partner with the justice
27:23residents. Help it make it possible for
27:25these women to have a [music] safe place
27:27to learn and grow in their relationship
27:29with Jesus. To join us in this fight and
27:31[music] to partner with us, text partner
