How to Rewire your Brain to Optimize Productivity – Be More Productive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THRYUfwGp6s
What do you think about when you see the word productivity maybe you think about focusing on a single task maybe you visualize a full list of tasks that have already been crossed off or maybe getting into a flow at work where00:00:11
time seems to pass you by and you hustle through all of your assignments whatever productivity means to you it’s something that you can achieve see productivity isn’t just a course of action productivity is a state of mind and I’m
00:00:22
gonna give it to you hard a lot of recent research says that productivity is correlated with the trait called conscientiousness it’s a personality trait that you can’t really change but there’s also research that contradicts
00:00:33
this and says that you can push your boundaries if you work on it you can change your brain and I’ve seen it happen I’ve seen lazy people change their efficiency but that’s because you’re literally changing your brain now
00:00:42
we can mimic some conscientiousness habits and through those habits we can start to rewire our brain to become more productive and I’m going to show you those habits if you can rewire your brain to be more productive you will
00:00:53
start writing to-do lists and crossing everything off of them before you even know it tip number one is to start in the morning some light tells our brains when to get up and when it’s time to wind
00:01:02
down so I suggest setting your alarm clock as the Sun rises and specifically if you can a little bit earlier to give yourself time to get things done earlier have you ever experienced a morning when you wake up feeling refreshed and you’re
00:01:13
ready to take on the day only the next day you feel groggy and irritable well when we sleep our bodies move through different cycles if we wake up at the wrong time in those cycles we might feel tired and lethargic throughout the
00:01:25
entire morning well a simple way to combat this is by downloading an app something like sleep cycle at night you give the app a range of time when you’d like to get up and you place the phone near your bed based
00:01:35
on your sleep cycle the app will get you up at a time when you should feel refreshed and ready to take on the day and trust me I’ve tried this before and it usually works tip number two is a segmented schedule so you’re up and
00:01:45
you’re awake and you’re ready for the day now what well you need to rewire your brain to think by the hours of the clock from 9:00 to 10:00 you will focus on project a from 10:00 to 11:00 you will focus on project B from 11:00 to
00:01:56
noon you will focus on project C I recommend setting your schedule ahead of time to fit in all of the tasks that you’d like to get done for the day a lot of people nag and they say I can’t work by a schedule I feel constrained well
00:02:07
then you’re setting up your schedule wrong you should set it up with stuff that you want to do – you should reward yourself treat yourself like a worker that you’ve hired and if you don’t reward or
00:02:15
pay that worker and you just give them a whole bunch of stuff to do you’d hate that schedule to a schedule should be a helpful tool not a confining jail also don’t forget to add breaks to your schedules leave your distractions or
00:02:27
miscellaneous tasks to these designated break times something like an email a Facebook message or a daydream can completely derail your entire focus and if your brain knows that it has a break coming up in a few minutes it’s more
00:02:37
likely to put that distracting thought aside until that break something I highly recommend looking into is the Pomodoro Technique the Pomodoro Technique is a way to schedule two hours of work with small breaks and long
00:02:48
breaks in between it’s one of the most effective and proven ways to focus on a task at hand for just the right amount of time tip number three is productive awareness now it can be hard to stop yourself from getting carried away with
00:03:00
distracting thoughts this lack of awareness is like the number one killer of all productivity luckily it’s easy to take control of your awareness and use it to your advantage awareness requires recognizing where you
00:03:11
are and what you are doing in the present moment kind of like meditation take some time to be aware of your surroundings right now what’s happening in the room where you’re sitting what parts of your body are making contact
00:03:21
with the chair to the table or computer or the articles of clothing that you’re wearing what do you see what do you hear even weirder what do you smell have you been reading and digesting the words in front of you or have you been
00:03:30
distracted by other thoughts if you know that you get distracted easily and have trouble staying aware of the present moment I highly recommend meditating or taking a workshop based on mindfulness these activities can help you stay aware
00:03:42
of your surroundings and thoughts all day long and on the same note you need to control your environment as much as possible trying to find a place where distractions won’t creep up on you people won’t come up to you and you
00:03:52
won’t be daydreaming out the window as you learn to be more aware of all of your thoughts you will see distractions coming from a mile away and hopefully you’ll be able to shut them down tip number four is to hold yourself
00:04:01
accountable schedules work because they give you an idea of what’s coming up and they also give you a goal to pursue when you see that it’s 2:30 and you know you have another half hour left to complete an assignment you know that you can ramp
00:04:12
up your focus or maybe give yourself a little bit of slack everyone works at different paces and if you want to be truly productive you have to find the pace that works for you as you create your schedule give yourself some time to
00:04:22
make notes throughout the day when did you feel tired what helped you focus maybe what distracted you you probably start to notice patterns after a couple days maybe you always feel tired at 2:30 in the afternoon or maybe
00:04:33
you’ll feel better on the days that you do yoga in the morning I give a more in-depth guide to tracking your natural productivity states in my full psychology a Productivity course but I’ll talk a little bit more about it at
00:04:42
the end of this video once you start to recognize the times when you feel most productive of the tools that help you you can start to create a schedule that works for you and makes you more productive tip number five is positive
00:04:52
validation did you accomplish your first task of the day in a timely manner well congrats that’s great that you did that make sure you take a moment to cross that task off your list and pat yourself on the back metaphorically positive
00:05:02
validation can train you and your brain to chase anything including productive habits and a laser beam focus just use basic conditioning to reward yourself see our brains naturally seek rewards and they try to retreat from pain if you
00:05:16
can rewire your brain to frame productivity as a truly rewarding way to live your brain will start to crave productivity and it will look for a day full of accomplishments affirmations and positive validations show your brain
00:05:27
that you truly want to cross tasks off your list you want to stay healthy that you want to make money or do whatever it is that you actually want to do for example when I’ve had a really productive day when
00:05:35
I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done I’ll take some friends to a movie or I’ll go out to eat at a nice restaurant I want to rewire my brain so that productive day equals fun evening and it’s working too because when I start thinking about
00:05:46
what I want to do in the evening for fun my brain automatically looks for things to work on I know it’s kind of weird and it’s kind of a difficult feeling to explain but you should definitely try it number six is to manifest your
00:05:56
productivity do you really see yourself as a productive person maybe you don’t today is the day to rewire your brain and change your own attitude you need to throw out any doubts or memories of lazy days because today you are a productive
00:06:08
person that’s just who you are get it you need to continue to manifest positive thoughts and visualize yourself as a productive person that you want to be to give you some insight into this I created a full to our course on the
00:06:18
psychology of belief and within the research process I learned that the best way to be motivated towards something is to think of that trait as part of your identity you might think I’m a productive person who gets loads of
00:06:29
meaningful work done and you should tell yourself that that would be an affirmation and you need to tell yourself that until you start to believe it because the sooner you start to believe that you’re productive the
00:06:38
easier it will be to sit down scheduled your task for the day and actually get them all done I suggest creating a mantra or an affirmation for yourself that says something along the lines of I’m
00:06:47
productive keep this mantra in your back pocket and repeat it every morning whenever you feel like you’re not being productive and your brain starts to pick up on this mantra it will rewire itself and you will believe that you can get
00:06:57
everything done on your list see our minds are fascinating subjects to study human minds have similar habits and certain habits can trick anyone’s mind into becoming more productive this is the idea behind the psychology of
00:07:07
productivity it’s an online course that I created that will help make you a more productive person if you want to learn more about the specific tactics and mechanisms that make someone a super productive industrious person the

How to Stop Overthinking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVFbUTjATGc
Overthinking is easy to slip into.00:00:03
Think about a time you distinctly remember overthinking.
00:00:06
You feel your heartbeat rise and your eyes dart.
00:00:10
Thoughts fire at unprecedented speeds as you struggle to pick up the pieces.
00:00:14
You work yourself up, imagining all kinds of scenarios in your head, overloading it with stress.
00:00:20
Now ask yourself this, how many times have you felt silly or a strange wash of relief because the overthinking led to nothing? More often than not, situations aren’t as complex as you may think.
00:00:33
Overthinking can lead to procrastination, and a lack of self-confidence, and destroys the time you have with yourself while potentially affecting those around you. Of course, this isn’t a blanket statement.
00:00:45
Neglecting certain aspects in fear of overthinking will cause avoidable issues. Still, it’s worth noting the damage overthinking can cause.
00:00:54
More significantly, however, there are plenty of solutions to overthinking.
00:00:59
These aren’t instant fixes – undoing a thought process in your head is often a daunting task, so before watching the rest of this video, take some time to forgive yourself. Self-improvement is all about understanding why you do things a certain way and moving forward.
00:01:16
This is no different.
00:01:19
Accept you can’t control external events For anyone, overthinker or otherwise, control is critical for feeling in charge of our lives.
00:01:28
It’s represented in all kinds of ways, from your morning routine to planning a wedding. For overthinkers, however, the desire for control can extend further. It can extend to external events way beyond an overthinker’s grasp.
00:01:44
The more they take on in their mind, the heavier that responsibility weighs, even if there is no responsibility in the first place.
00:01:51
Let’s say you’re an overthinker and you’ve just completed a job interview.
00:01:55
You’ve done everything you can – asked the right questions, composed yourself throughout and gave as good a version of yourself as possible.
00:02:04
The interview ends and all you can do is wait.
00:02:08
For some, that’s that chapter closed until you find out more.
00:02:11
For those who struggle with overthinking, the brain goes into overdrive. Thoughts about your performance, how you ended the call and what emails you can send after the fact all play on the mind when in reality, you’ve done all you can. Accepting that you can’t always control external events helps put your mind at ease. Think of it like a roadblock for intrusive thoughts.
00:02:34
A helpful way to bring this to life might be by writing down the things out of your control and sticking them somewhere prominent as a continued reminder of what not to think about.
00:02:45
Taking action (no matter how imperfect) One of the biggest causes of procrastination is an overhanging sense of imperfection.
00:02:54
While it is simple to write any number of tasks on your to-do list, actually completing them is another thing entirely.
00:03:00
How many times have you done everything you set out to do in one day? One of the most difficult challenges facing overthinkers is getting started.
00:03:09
Before beginning, overthinking can lead to performance anxiety and subsequent procrastination.
00:03:14
It may sound too easy to simply ‘take action’, but the more you break it down, the easier it becomes.
00:03:21
Again, let’s use the job interview example from earlier.
00:03:25
You’ve been tasked with creating a presentation for the potential role.
00:03:29
It’s due in just a few days but you haven’t started; the task itself seems daunting as all manner of questions and scenarios run through your head: ‘What if the technology lets me down?’, ‘What if they hate the presentation?’, ‘Where do I even begin?’ These questions and scenarios bounce around in an overthinker’s head until the task itself has grown from a small hurdle into an unsurmountable climb. The solution, as we’ve touched on, is quite simple. Break it down.
00:03:59
Find the smallest, most achievable part of your task and run with it.
00:04:03
Pick something that doesn’t require perfection and secure that coveted feeling of achievement.
00:04:08
In this example, simply opening, titling, and saving a presentation document would be a solid, achievable start.
00:04:17
Stop following through on all your thoughts You may occasionally see videos captioned ‘when you let the intrusive thoughts win’ doing the rounds on TikTok and YouTube. Intrusive thoughts are the Alfred to an overthinker’s Batman.
00:04:30
The thing is, most people get them and they can be completely random. For example, have you ever stepped in a lift and been tempted to push all of the buttons at once and run? Perhaps your intrusive thoughts are more innocent, such as wondering what would happen if you got on a random train instead of the usual.
00:04:48
I don’t know, but whatever way these thoughts materialise, they’re there.
00:04:53
A problem arises when these thoughts aren’t left in the void your brain leaves for such a thing.
00:04:59
Giving intrusive thoughts credence is a surefire way to overload your predominant line of thinking and overwhelm your mental energy resources.
00:05:07
A tip if this is you? Stop following through on all of your thoughts. Not all of them need to be listened to.
00:05:15
It’s as simple as recognising that not every thought is a good one. Our minds are not immaculate – human error is prevalent.
00:05:23
You’d be forgiven for conflating this with self-doubt, as reminding yourself that not every thought needs listening to could cause you to doubt the authority of your voice. If you’re worried that’s the case, work on tracing the severity of your thoughts down. Ask yourself, “will this matter in five days?” If the answer is no, chances are it’s not worth your time.
00:05:44
Live in the present moment instead I know what you’re probably thinking.
00:05:49
Living in the moment is advice flung around in a far too carefree nature amongst the self-improvement community.
00:05:56
But, as with a lot of seemingly tired cliches, its positive effects ring true. Overthinking is a challenge we face when we dedicate too much of our present-day energy on our future selves.
00:06:08
Going through life with your future self in mind is a very healthy trait to have, but if taken too far, your present-day is at risk.
00:06:16
Overthinking about details out of your control in fear of the potential for damage negates any effort you put into enjoying your life as you’ll never get to enjoy the moment you’re in.
00:06:26
Living in the present moment helps to refocus and recalibrate wasted energy into a force of good.
00:06:32
It can come in the form of simple exercises such as this.
00:06:35
Look around you and notice: • 5 things you can see • 4 things you can touch • 3 things you can hear • 2 things you can smell • 1 thing you can taste Tasks like these and journaling help highlight a sense of self in the present moment, freeing up time for self-reflection and limiting overthinking space. Understand motivation differently While at the outset motivation is merely the energy required to carry out a task or activity, if you look deeper, you’ll find a critical cog in your well-being and your relationship with yourself.
00:07:09
Firstly, let’s view motivation from a typical standpoint. When the deadline for something like sending a bunch of emails or completing some tedious coursework comes along, you may find yourself searching for inspiration other than the consequences of not completing the task at hand.
00:07:26
That search is often left wanting.
00:07:30
Motivation doesn’t work like that – you can’t spend your day waiting for it to float into your lap.
00:07:35
Instead, you must simply begin, whatever that looks like.
00:07:39
Think back to earlier in this video when we spoke about taking action, no matter how imperfect. That applies here.
00:07:47
When you’re up and running, the motivation will follow – that human need to finish something we’ve started.
00:07:52
That snowball effect is motivation.
00:07:55
To solve the issue of overthinking, understanding how motivation works can be a vital tool in your arsenal.
00:08:02
When you know about the snowball effect, it becomes easier to let go of the intrusive thoughts and unrealistic ‘what ifs.’ Overthinking ends when you begin While some of these steps may make it seem simple to stop overthinking, the reality is different.
00:08:18
For many, it’s how their brain works, so challenging that authority may seem daunting. If that’s you, then fear not, you’re not alone.
00:08:27
In summary, throughout the solutions featured in this video, two key themes stand out: acceptance and action.
00:08:35
When you forgive yourself for not being able to control everything, you can put your best and most important foot forward.
00:08:42
Overthinking can cripple the sharpest of minds, so it’s important to remember that it doesn’t make you any less of a person.
00:08:49
It simply means putting your present self in the driver’s seat and putting faith in your decision-making.

High TSH Levels: What Should You Do?
Hey there, this is Dr. Ruscio. I just want to share a quick update regarding
the thyroid TSH and why you should be careful in terms of what you are told you
should do about an elevation of your TSH. You’ve hopefully heard some of my criticisms
of the field of functional, natural, and integrative medicine regarding how overzealously, we’re
interpreting small perturbations and findings on thyroid labs.
This certainly includes people I work with
in the clinic. I just had a patient this morning
and she had previously a TSH of 6.3. So the cutoff on most labs is 4.5. So she was according to the conventional lab
ranges, slightly elevated. This is known as subclinical hypothyroid. When that minimum elevation of TSH is paired
with normal T4, this is known as subclinical hypothyroid, meaning you’re not a true hypothyroid. This is so crucially important because
the data here are fairly clear in showing that most of these cases will spontaneously
remit or will spontaneously, all on their own with no treatment or therapeutics or support,
go back to normal.
Now, what was so interesting here is that
while working with me, she was also doing some local testing with her NP, her nurse
practitioner. I advised her not to be too quick to act on
this 6.3, this elevated TSH paired with normal T4 and also normal T3. Let’s retest in a month or two, especially
given the fact that she has been improving symptomatically. As the data suggests, you will likely see
normality or normalization of your TSH.
So what do you know, about two months later? Her TSH has now gone into the normal range
of 3.6, from 6.3, and T4 and T3 are still normal. All the while she has continued to improve
symptomatically. To contrast this with what I think
needs to be amended in the field, her NP wanted to put her on thyroid hormone at that initial
visit with the elevated TSH. What a travesty that would have been, because
once you put someone on thyroid hormone, the repeat testing doesn’t tell you if they no
longer need the hormone, because all of the levels have been paved over by the hormone
that the person is now taking orally.
So this is a crucially important situation
where we don’t want to be too quick to act to put people on thyroid hormone without giving
adequate time to see if, especially at these subclinical findings, again – high TSH, normal
T4 according to the conventional ranges – normalizes all on its own at your next retest. The trajectory of these two different patient
scenarios is so different. The one patient from the more, what I would
argue, the overzealous camp will be put on thyroid hormone in some cases for years until a provider
has enough common sense to go back and check this.
Or, as in this case with a more reserved and
kind of circumspect approach, no medicine was started and a retest a couple of months later
found she was back into the normal range. We stopped her from going on a medication
ostensibly for years that she would not have needed. If you’re concerned about this, double check
and get a second opinion to make sure that you’re A) not on thyroid hormone that you
don’t need to be or B) that perhaps you are given thyroid hormone too quickly, based upon
this lab work, that didn’t justify that approach. Now, according to the philosophy of some providers,
subclinical hypothyroidism does justify the use of medication.
Although the data here are clear that there
is almost no benefit shown when those who have that pattern of high TSH and normal T4
go on thyroid hormone. Almost no benefit has been documented unless
you’re very young, you are pregnant or are struggling with infertility, or your TSH is
well above 10. These are important nuances to understand
in navigating the conversation around thyroid, which is all too often vilified or positioned
as a cause of all symptoms. It may well be, but we don’t want to force
upon someone thyroid hormone when the labs don’t justify that because that can
lead someone to be on medication they don’t need.
This also distracts from actually determining
what underlying cause is leading to the symptoms that you’re having. So again, I would encourage you to double-check. Don’t stop taking the medication until you
check with your provider, but if you’re suspicious that your provider is being a bit overzealous,
double-check. It may be well worth it. Okay. That is our show. Hopefully, this helps.

double-check. It may be well worth it. Okay. That is our show. Hopefully, this helps.

8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To
(pleasant comforting music) – [Amanda] Hey there psych2-goers and welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know
that your ongoing support helps us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So thank you all so much for
the love that you’ve given us. Before we begin, we wanted
to remind you that this video is meant for informative purposes only and is not meant to be a
diagnostic tool for mental illness. Please reach out to a
mental health professional or your doctor if you think you might be struggling with anxiety. With that said, let’s begin.
Anxiety seems to be so
mainstream these days and people are feeling more
stressed out than ever. However, there is a difference
between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. Feelings of nervousness or
restlessness will go away but people with anxiety disorders get no such break from their symptoms. This can change the way you communicate, behave, and even think. In today’s video, we will be
talking about eight struggles that people with anxiety can relate to. Number one, you fret and worry over small decision choices. Do you freeze with indecision
when thinking about what you want for lunch? It usually shouldn’t matter that much but when your brain is
moving at a mile a minute, it’s not hard to invent
a hypothetical situation where this choice could
mean life or death. There are so many what-ifs to consider and the anxious brain
wants to examine them all. It’s important to remember why your mind stays stuck on something, it’s trying to protect you.
The what-ifs are all meant
to prepare your brain to deal with real situations,
should they arise. Be kind to yourself when making a decision doesn’t come easily to you. It’s not for nothing, even if it is disruptive or frustrating. Two, which comes first,
anxiety or sleep disruption? If you find it difficult
to get a good night’s sleep with an anxious brain, you’re not alone. According to the Anxiety
and Depression Association of America, stress and
anxiety are closely related to and often coincide with sleep disorders. These can range from
nightmares or restlessness to more complex conditions
such as bruxism, where you grind your teeth while you sleep, or narcolepsy which causes you
to spontaneously fall asleep. It can be hard to tell
whether sleep troubles or anxious thoughts are
the root of the problem.
Anxiety can cause a lack
of sleep just as easily as a lack of sleep can
make you feel anxious. Number three, the worst-case scenarios always seem more likely than they are. When you’ve been dealing with
your anxiety for a long time, your brain gets used to being
on the alert for danger, even when none is present. This is why it’s easy to ruminate on negative or intrusive thoughts. Jumping passed the more likely outcomes to a worst-case scenario
becomes automatic. Everyday occurrences send
your nervous system spinning when you’ve become so good
at searching for anything that might go wrong. We offer a challenge to any anxious psych2-goers out there; if you notice yourself
imagining a disastrous outcome or event, see if you can come
up with one other scenario that may occur instead. Is one more likely than
the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety.
Do you worry about whether
or not other people can tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly
worried about how someone will react if they do find out
you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience
anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no real way to tell
unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety
is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably
too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little
flushed or act a little odd. Five, you can
worry yourself sick.
Have you ever been so stressed
and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety,
these severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that
symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and
gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over
a long period can lead to complications such
as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions
in the nervous system.
Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and
about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have
social anxiety disorder which is specific to
public or group settings. Between physical symptoms
and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with
your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with
intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right.
If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes
you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware
of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is
a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to
double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find
it hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you have to
reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading.
Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the
brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that
space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns
won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you
but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yeah, you can have anxiety
about your anxiety.
Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health
Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in
situations where escape might be difficult or that
help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take
public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not
leave their house at all.
Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment. Did you relate to any of these scenarios? Tell us about it in the comments below. Anxiety is tough but so are you. If you have any other tips that

Anxiety disorders, phobias, and chronic panic attacks affect millions of people all over the world. Often, treatment consists of medications used to reduce anxiety, but these medications don’t work for everyone. Many people are too afraid to explore the real reason why they have anxiety or they’re too embarrassed to seek medical attention. Instead, they suffer for years struggling to learn how to cope with this condition, alone. More often than not this results in the person avoiding many of the places and activities they once loved because they’re so afraid they’ll have a panic attack in public. If you’re tired of trying new medications that don’t work or you’re looking for an all-natural approach to anxiety treatment, the 60 Second Panic Solution program can help.

“We the People” Need to Band Together
foreign [Music] a lot from our government let me explain now again I don’t care what color or what side of the aisle you’re on but I want you to notice something you notice that there’s one part of our active government that no matter what they stick together right and then there’s another part I’m trying to be very ambiguous there’s another part that’s constantly fragmented no one can agree no one can come together the Bible says A House Divided cannot stand and that’s a paraphrase of something that Jesus said what I want to say to you is that we as Christians must it’s time for us to put aside I’m not talking about the radical difference perhaps in some that fit outside the pale of we’ll call it standardized Christianity but it’s time for Christians to band together and put aside some of the pettiness and what I call absolute Supreme stupidity that keeps us divided we need to be a United people because I’m telling you something the challenges we face as Christians are no joke and let me give you a clue on this I’m probably not going to tell this story very accurately but you can do the research yourself if you remember I told you about a church in San Jose that during covid did not shut down gee that sounds familiar but unlike other churches that decided to stay open this particular church was targeted and got many fines now there’s a lot of details I’m not going to get into a lot of the weeds here but they received a lot of fines and they were trying to fight the fines and now it’s come to light that the state of California was basically spying through the cell phones of people I don’t know if any of you know this raise your hand if you know a little bit of this story oh there’s enough of you that know it thank God that tells you and this is not conspiracy stuff this is not tin foil stuff this has happened in the state of California state that seemingly doesn’t sorry doesn’t give Adorn about people defecating in the street but God forbid you should want to stand your ground inside a house of worship so let me just say this to you expect more I don’t mean expect more from your government I mean expect more of that there’s now talk and I want you to hear it from me if you don’t watch the news there is talk that mask mandates will be back by mid to late September and there’s even talk of us having more lockdowns um you know this is going to drive a lot of people crazy but you know what I’m hoping it does I’m hoping that it brings enough people to say enough of I’m sorry we don’t we used to not tolerate our children being bullied well I don’t want to be bullied by the government if if you want to wear a mask over every orifice knock yourself out but here’s what’s disturbing and I’m saying listen you know how I am I say it like it is I don’t play at church I don’t play it caring about you and the things that matter to me but imagine how insane this is I want you to give thought to this although this has nothing to do with church service it will affect this service eventually six uh weeks or possibly more from this time that I’m talking to you if they start doing these mandates again now what’s disturbing is that there are official releases from the CDC and other Medical governance bodies that have said masks do not work and to give you a perfect case in point medical professionals who know what to do with a mask even they can mess up but you know what we do when we put on a mask first of all most of us don’t even wear it right yeah exactly we touch our face We Touch everything we touch ourselves after we’ve put the mask on to protect ourselves then we’re busy touching everything and our face it doesn’t work and you can listen you can wear a mask if it makes you feel better I’m not ridiculing you but I’m saying I want you as Christians but now as Americans to think about what’s going on because if an announcement is made from the CDC and from other people that math don’t work by the way even the grand Dr Fauci Grand wizard Fauci he said no we’re double in triple Mast and then was actually recorded it’s recorded of him saying it doesn’t work so why would you ask your citizens to mask up again now listen to me I understand people who have underlying health conditions I understand if you’ve got issues or you feel safer or better that’s like I said I’m not ridiculing you but scientifically speaking and I don’t know listen if you’re listening to the science the same science that says that Dylan Mulvaney is a woman that’s the same science that tells you that to wear a mask then wear a mask but it’s time for us to stop the nonsense Stop The Bullying I have rights as a citizen you have rights as citizens of this country we are not yet communist Marxists we may have been overtaken and infiltrated but we are as a populist I do not think we are there most of us relish our freedom including the right to not wear a mask including the right to not get a job including the right to stand your ground if it is religion whatever that religion is and I’m not just speaking for Christians I’m really getting annoyed at this we’ll call it it’s deliberate and calculated attacks mostly aimed at Christians I heard nothing through the whole pandemic about mosques or synagogues just Christian churches about masks you could say well maybe they closed down you think do your homework and you’ll find out they didn’t but the media never went there why because if you should talk about a mosque you will be Islamophobic and if you talk about a synagogue you will be antisemitic by their definition but we’re just fair game and punching bags that’s what I’m telling you it is really time I’m not asking you to do anything crazy but it’s time for us to put on our brains we are thinking people band together this is not a time to play I don’t know I’m not sure this is a time to say no and I have rights and until those rights are taken away that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is parsed ripped up or burned I will not stop talking about this because there are too many people who are sheep who are just carrying in the corner for a government edict to come out is oh I’ll do it I’ll do it uh this is the problem by not teaching people history always repeats itself unless we are studying and reminding ourselves do you really think when you listen to if you are reading any of these things I’m talking about do you really think the design of a smart 15-minute city is to give you more freedom and to help the climate or is it to control the populace don’t answer it’s rhetorical because most of you know the answer so all I’m saying to you is you know there are other people who might be talking about all kinds of stuff I’m only interested in one thing right now and that is Christian Unity a house United can withstand any type of attack and trust me it is coming it’s coming for the church first and foremost and I have no idea of what will happen in six months but I can tell you this when you have the president just announced that there is a push they just asked to secure more funds for a new vaccine and out of the president’s mouth whether that’s him speaking or somebody else every American will get one period well brother come knocking on my door come knocking I wonder I wonder if we were back in the foundational years of this country I just wonder how many people would be hunkered down saying oh we just can’t offend the English no the Redcoats we just can’t do that there was enough people that had enough of Taxation and although there is a story within a story the bigger picture is the people now have to speak and please do not say we’re going to go vote because that may or may not actually be your vote being counted sorry to tell you that but what I can tell you is this body of people in the sound of my voice and anyone who identifies as a follower of Christ please put aside your differences and your pettiness I’m not talking about syncretism where we adopt somebody else’s ideologies or theologies but those who are focused on Christ that is the center and the circumference of why we’re here start thinking about this because it will matter in the future it will matter that we band together and I’m not just saying us here I’m talking to other pastors their congregations some of you pastors can’t do what I can do you’ve got a deacon board and you’ve got all kinds of people that are the master puppets telling puppeteers telling you what you can or cannot say I’m not telling you to go against your board or the governance of whatever institution you are involved in but I am saying if we cannot as a body take a page from history and all I have to do is think of a man named Dietrich Bonhoeffer pastor someone who believed that their work was the most important which he did and paid the ultimate price for it but wouldn’t be quiet and I I’m really taking my pages of action from certain things that he did and the reason being is this is not the time for cowardice this is not the time to run away this is not the time to hunker down and go along with the plan because going along with the plan will get us right back where we were basically at the beginning of covet 19’s surgeons I’m not going there I don’t know how many of you want to go back there and how many of you understand that listen to me I know that there are a lot of people out there shouldn’t do this but I’m going to I know that there are a lot of people out there and there’s a lot of people in this congregation that when it was said you must get vaccinated you know how do you want to kill your citizens pick away do you want them to die of stress because they’re going to lose their job if they don’t buckle into what should never be never be anything but a personal choice that you and I make as to our medication if the president said you must take statin drugs or you’re a traitor I’d say pick a finger great so why would you mandate something like in other words if this is a free country and maybe this is the last of our freedom it’s time for people to understand that when we band together as a group we’re powerful we’re strong and when we band together we can be what actually I believe Christ intended us to be which is a Christian Army not the type that goes out on the battlefield with machine guns or machetes depending on where you live but the Christian Army that lives by faith stands on the solid rock is not uh persuaded to buckle down and just go with the flow I’m sorry that is that we’ll never be Christianity and if you think that is you’re sorely mistaken so actually what I’m doing here is I’m asking you to think about this I’m not asking you to do anything else except think and pray that we can all come together and stand strong as a body because as these things begin to come our way listen I’m not afraid I’ve taken the mindset that you know the Bible says Don’t Fear what they can do to the body fear what they can do the soul I will not back down from this will not back away and I’ve seen too many of real pastors peppered across the around the world who are paying the ultimate price for not only giving instruction to their congregation but pushing back and saying no we won’t either and if that’s what it takes then that’s what it takes for at least on my part I live by this you can say this is not Christian talking you can have your opinion I will live free and I will die fighting for my freedom I will not have it taken from me for my last breath same things I’ve said to you my life is here open this book talking about the word of God until God takes my breath away but as for everything else in my life I have learned a lesson and that is if you decide to back away and run away there may not be another person to stand in your place there may not be another person to say no I won’t and why are we so afraid of this anyway why are we I’m asking you it’s really rhetorical why are we afraid until right now we are still a free country why are we afraid of a government that has become um basically Marx existent Communists why are we afraid of this when we still have rights and these rights are still protected we say well have you seen what’s going on yeah I have and I’ve seen it not just here but globally we have brothers and sisters in Canada that are their lives have become such a mess because of the government and by the way for those that send me your messages trust me I’m getting them and I’m praying for you and I’m praying for your country as well because whatever happens is just a stone’s throw across the border manages to trickle over here and the effects are felt trust me worldwide so for the pastors who listen to me now is the time to stand in faith now is the time to instruct people to be courageous that’s 90 of Faith courage and the rest of it God will take care of and let me just say this as a last and final word here you will never know what your faith in these matters will mean in eternity and you say but this is time versus eternity yes but whatever we do here as Christians matters so if you want to stand back in the distance and do nothing and say nothing that’s your prerogative I will not be quiet over this and my job first and foremost is to give you the ammunition out of the word and if there’s anything else that’s to encourage to stay the course stay strong in the faith and recognize we are still a people that have been blessed with Liberty until it is revoked and completely taken away remember you as citizens have rights and do not be shy to learn what they are in their entirety you know some people say oh I don’t want to sit and read a law book and some people are curious engage now is the time
