God knows his call for you on your life
and he’s very interested in fulfilling
that call through your life and so what
he is interested in really right now is
your character and so what we’re going
to go through is three kind of keys to
unlock uh your potential right now and
to get you unstuck from where you’re at
right
now welcome to three keys to getting
unstuck I’m Lisa bav and I am here today
with my second born son Austin bavier
and Austin I’m super excited I really
feel like we are going to give people
something is going to equip them with
what they need to get unstuck and you’ve
actually really spearheaded this I would
love you just to talk about your passion
for this well like the last two years
has been just a discovery of what really
helps me move forward in life what what
am I missing if I want to move the dial
in my relationship with God or just my
work or whatever relationships with
other people what what are some key
things that might be blocking me and so
we came up with the these three keys on
how to get unstuck and can I just say
this as your mom I am super proud of you
because I’ve watched you be diligent and
what you’ve actually really done is
you’ve simplified something that
actually took you a lot of time so I’m
going to open up with a question and I’m
actually going to flip that question to
you are you living to your full
potential and I think actually any of us
can be honest that we’re probably not
living to our full potential because our
potential is absolutely massive yes and
yet there’s an incredible longing for
everyone to live at a higher level they
know they were created for something
more than they’ve ever seen we watch
what happens in the Bible we see that is
all about heroes you’ve got David David
is The Man David is who we talk about
he’s a favorite doesn’t mean he’s
perfect nope but he is the man and he he
maximizes potential people want to
emulate him they want to be like him
they they connect with him exactly they
connect with the greatness that God put
on his life and he’s somebody that we
can look at as somebody has potential
Abraham okay let’s just be honest Our
Father of the faith made a whole lot of
mess ups I mean this whole Hagar idea
some of the ideas some of the things he
did taking lot when he wasn’t supposed
to take but here’s what I love the Bible
says about Abraham that when he was a
nobody he gave God permission to make
him a Somebody by faith and that’s what
we’re talking about that is that
potential right now you may feel like
you’re a nobody but God is actually
saying I just I just need you to give me
permission to make you a somebody Gideon
you know least of the tribe fding yes
Amazing Story you know crazy battle
strategies breaking pots and fire I mean
who wins a battle without any weapons
yeah but Gideon did and then Esther the
one that is the favorite of all the
girls Esther who gets two years of body
spa treatments who wouldn’t be Godly
after that but eser this amazing woman
of potential potential and she was an
orphan and she had to hide her true
identity for years yeah I mean even
beyond the Bible you got you got sports
stars the people that we love are like
your LeBron James’s depending on what
who’s your favorite sports team just all
say they’re all amazing they’re all
great though you have to respect their
their game um Roger feder and if you ask
someone hey like who’s the 76th best
tennis player in the world nobody’s
probably going to know like and so
people really want to emulate the super
stars and and because we all believe we
have that kind of potential and you see
it in movies too um yeah I mean Wonder
Woman you guys took me my birthday to
see Wonder Woman it wasn’t called
average woman it was called Wonder Woman
it appealed to every woman’s desire to
actually have a cause in her life to
have a sword and possibly work out but
Wonder Woman was an average woman she
was Wonder Woman and there’s others some
favorite movies that I knew you boys
love well my one of my favorites when I
was growing up with Star Wars and I I
think the reason why I liked it is I I
very much loved the transition of Luke
Skywalker how he went from being a
moisture farmer to figuring out that
he yeah he was he was a whiny little
brat and they figured out he had this
amazing ability and then he saves the
Galaxy like that’s that’s a massive poti
and and in life we and as we watch these
movies and see these Superstars we want
to emulate them and be like them because
I feel like we all believe we have
massive potential in our lives and so I
remember um like early on probably in my
early 20s I began to realize that I
might not be living up to my full
potential and it really bothered me um I
remember I had a quote that would go
through my head uh because I because
like I I felt like I felt like I should
be doing more in my life I felt like I
had a great calling I feel like I felt
like I should be further but to be
honest I wasn’t even sure what my
calling was I wasn’t even sure sure
where further was but I just felt like
something was missing and I remember
there’s a quote that would play in my
head repeatedly and is by Anakin
Skywalker which is of course who we
should quote yeah yeah no and so this is
the quote something’s happening I’m not
the Jedi I should be and I had that I
was like man when I was a kid I felt
like this I was this amazing Jedi but I
feel like I’m living So Below what I
could actually be and I feel like a lot
of us have that that tension between I
feel like I’m capable of so much more
but I’m not quite there you know can can
I just like put a punctuation on that
you know over the last two years I’ve
had the privilege of standing in front
of probably close to 100,000 Millennials
and this is what they all are saying I
am not the Jedi I could be you know they
know that and they here’s what they
here’s what’s going on they know they
know Austin that God has his hand on
their life for something significant but
they have absolutely no idea what that
is and so I think you’re speaking to a
huge need right now yeah and and even
just to affirm you like God knows his
call for you on your life and he’s very
interested in fulfilling that call
through your life and so what he is
interested in really right now is your
character and so what we’re going to go
through is three kind of keys to unlock
uh your potential right now and to get
you unstuck from where you’re at right
now and so we’re going to dive into the
first one which is to lead your emotions
yeah wait so lead your emotions not be
led by your emotions lead your feelings
my feelings can’t take me hostage no
uhuh yeah so tell me about how you
realized this this this would be
actually a key in making the switch
Austin what was the Turning Point your
life this was this was the first key
that I discovered and so just to give
you some backstory I rededicated my life
about 10 years ago and uh I remember
when that happened I felt the love of
God for the first time in my entire life
and it was amazing and I would go into
my quiet times and God would just be
there ready like just emanating and it
was amazing and and I felt that every
day when I go in my quiet time but after
some time those feelings started subside
and I remember thinking like what have I
done wrong like did did I mess up why is
God seem distant why I’m not why am I
not feeling his love and I I
remember almost feeling like the Holy
Spirit saying Austin I want you to learn
how to move past your feelings and I
didn’t want to do it though because like
I was like I love this I I and so I be I
just kept kind of getting stuck reading
the same like verses and listening to
the same Christian songs and the same
books the ones that I had really been
listening to and reading during that
time when I was experiencing God’s love
and I I it was almost like I try to go
forward and i’ go back to that spot and
I kept getting stuck in that
spot and um it became very discouraging
I almost felt like paralyzed where I was
at because just with my relationship
with God it was like this if I felt like
God loved me that meant he loved me
that’s what it meant in my mind if I
felt like he was near me that meant he
was near but if I felt like he didn’t
love me like my own feelings that meant
that he didn’t love me and if I felt
like he wasn’t near that meant he wasn’t
near and so and and also a big thing
that I struggled with as a kid is
condemnation and so if I felt condemned
that meant that God was condemning me
and I was allowing how I felt in the
moment to determine what I believed was
truth about my relationship with God and
it it was dangerous because because when
I would go into my quiet time whatever I
was feeling in that moment was what was
reality what that was truth and
sometimes that happens with us in our
relationship with God it can happen to
us when we’re trying to make decisions
we can feel confident happen in our
marriages it yeah it can happen anywhere
even in a relationship like if you’re if
you’re getting in a relationship that um
you you see hey this could potentially
work out after a while your feelings are
going to start subsiding and you have to
remember the truth about all those
amazing things about other person often
times we want those feelings to be like
here all the time and some sometimes
that’s just not the case and and those
are the times where we have to lead our
emotions but anyway getting ahead of
myself what I realized what I was doing
is instead of like letting God’s truth
be the the anchor for my life I was
allowing my emotions to be the anchor
for my life and I was all over the place
and and that’s surprising Austin because
you’re not what I would consider to be
an emotional person right I I mean I
have some emotional children I’m not
going to I’m not going to lie we have
some high drama I one of them is kind of
making d looks at me right now and and I
would say your dad and I are both very
high emotion people but you were our
like Steady Eddy child and so like it’s
it you know so it it really isn’t about
being up and down you know like having
drama doesn’t mean emotion so like
somebody that’s not high
drama like you are very stable could
internalize this still internalize and
still be led by their emotions that’s
very much the way and that was shocking
to me CU I was like I know I’m being led
my by my emotions but I’m surprises
happened because I’m not a superal yeah
emotionally expressive person um and so
uh I saw around this time I saw this
equation that really kind of helped me
understand what was happening so I want
to show this to you real quick and so
the first key to getting unstuck was
lead your emotions and here here’s this
equation that um I saw and when I saw
this it revolutionized my life and so if
you’re writing notes write this equation
down screenshoot this yes do do whatever
you needed to so your circumstances plus
your beliefs these two things make up
your thought life what happens to you
and what you believe about what happens
to you or just what you believe is going
to make up the thoughts that you think
all day long and based off of your
thoughts that is what creates your
emotions and so all the emotions that
you feel don’t come from just random
events or just they’re not random they
come from your thoughts and your
emotions then lead to your actions and
if you see on this uh equation there’s
an arrow that goes back to your
circumstances and often times our
actions will lead us back to our
circumstances they create our Circ
create circumstances and so uh when you
look at
this sometimes you can’t always control
your circumstances but you can always
you always have the choice to choose
what you’re going to believe and so as
humans we have like 50 to 70,000
thoughts that go through our brain every
single day and so if you’re if you’re
just trying to be positive with your
thought life you have to almost control
50 to 70,000 thoughts that is
overwhelming it is overwhelming and you
probably won’t get much done because
you’ll just be thinking about what
you’re thinking about all day but what
what we came to realize and what I came
to realize was there are some core
beliefs that we can believe about
ourselves that if they’re off they will
produce tons of thoughts myriads of
thoughts and but if you can hone in on
changing those core beliefs your
thoughts will line up and your emotions
will line up and you will start doing
the things you want to do and not be led
by your emotions in an unhealthy way
does that make sense I I love that no
it’s so hopeful it really is yeah no and
it’s it it makes sense because then if
you start having the right thoughts and
the right emotional response and the
right actions then yes the majority of
your
circumstances are going to change even
if they the same things happen your
reaction to it is going to be different
you know so you can’t control what
happens to you but you can control your
response and I do love that you’ve taken
it not just to try to mental energy but
a deeper level of belief yeah and truth
yes so what is truth Austin oh I think
the word of God um is our anchor for
figuring out what truth is and uh John
177 I believe it is or sorry John 17:17
says this make them Holy by your truth
teach them your word which is truth and
there’s a I just I love this verse the
first part I think every Christian we
don’t want to stay where we’re at we
want to grow in that process of
sanctification and Holiness and part of
that or a big part of that is we’re made
Holy by the truth and it’s just the
truth can’t sit there you have to
believe the truth about yourself and and
I love how it affirms that teach them
your word which is truth and so if you
want to know what’s the truth the way
God sees you the way you should see
yourself the way you should see others
is to get into the word and figure out
what the word says about you and you
don’t have to believe what your emotions
are saying in the moment you don’t have
to believe what someone else said about
you you have the word of God that you
can stand on and say this is truth about
my life it doesn’t matter what my
emotions are screaming this is what I’m
going to believe and and there’s a lot
of empowerment that comes when you’re
willing to do that when you’re willing
to stand on what truth says now does
truth change no it does not TR it does
not change and and that’s the that’s the
interesting interesting thing about
emotions is because they’re so volatile
um it can seem like truth is relative or
random when you’re going off of your
emotions and so it’s so good to be
anchored on the truth of the word of God
you know I’ve learned uh truth is a rock
it’s not a river yeah and we have a
culture right now that thinks that truth
is a river that it can flow with
wherever we are going at whatever
tributaries but truth is a rock I love
Psalm 119 Austin it says in verse 105
your word and this is God’s word this is
truth is a lamp to guide my feet and a
light for my path I have never seen more
people looking for a light and a path
and a
truthful guide yes so how do you lead
your emotions with truth we realize
God’s word is truth we know we need to
lead our emotions how do you lead your
emotions with truth so here’s a good
test or a good way to kind of turn uh
whatever circumstance or whatever belief
you have around or or to turn whatever
emotion you have around or locate and so
here’s three simple questions you can
ask yourself so here they are first what
emotion or emotions am I feeling right
now and so just what you can do is just
sit down and kind of be like hey what am
I feeling right now am I feeling
discouraged am I feeling anxious am I
feeling afraid am I happy like what
emotion am I feeling and then the second
question to ask is what circumstance or
belief or it could be the combination of
the two but what circumstance or belief
caused this emotion MH and that is so
helpful to see because you can be in the
middle of doing something and you feel
awful and if you just take the time to
stop and be like oh the reason why I’m
feeling this way is because so and so
said this about me five minutes ago and
I didn’t address it in the moment or
I’ve been believing this about myself
all day and I didn’t address it if
you’ll just take the time to stop and
locate that you will you’ll be able to
turn it around and then the third thing
is what does the Bible say what does the
Bible say about a specific C
circumstance that specific belief that
led you down that path and in that
moment you can take that thought captive
and and align it with the word of God
you know when you guys were little I
would get hit with fear a lot and um and
the enemy would just like had four boys
I had four Bo terrorizing so that makes
sense but like the enemy would say you
know they’re going to get run over by a
car they’re going to fall off a golf
cart I mean just like all these
different things and and Austin it’s so
true I would have the fear come up the
images would come into my mind and when
I let them grow unchecked when I let
them grow unchecked then they would
begin to overwhelm me and I remember
when all of a sudden I’d be like what am
I feeling right now I’m I’m feeling fear
why am I feeling fear I I what’s going
on do it and then being able to go and
say all right now wait a minute the
circumstances that are brought around
these emotions they they do not control
me the word of God God has a plan and a
destiny he has a hope and a future for
my children my children disciples taught
of the Lord what does the Bible say
EMP it says that they’re going to live
long and live well and that my history
my family history is not going to be our
Legacy and this shifted everything for
me so these three questions people can
memorize them and even in the moment
that is emotionally charged or confusing
they can take a deep breath and arrest
their emotions so I’m super excited you
know I’m I I know what’s coming so it’s
exciting for me listen in the next video
we’re going to show you how to
practically practically renew your mind
which is huge for leading your emotions
and this is an actually very simple
process this is not complicated I’m not
saying it’s easy but it is a simple
process but very few people actually
know how to put this to practice and so
we’re going to give you practical tools
so you’re going to be able to do this
and I want you to be on the lookout for
this next video because it’s going to be
coming to you and here’s what’s going to
happen in the meantime we want to hear
