Pastor Steven Furtick shared The YAAS!!!!! Test with the youth at Elevation Church’s Student Takeover.
I’m gonna do what I can I’m gonna do
what I can
um
this don’t have nothing to do with my
message but I was on the road for 15
days this my ninth time preaching in 15
days and um thank you thank you then say
that thank you
but I just want you to know there was
nowhere I went that my husband wasn’t
with me and so baby I just want to honor
you
for holding me down being my front my
back my side for praying for covering
for loving on me you make it look easy
you put your world on positive step into
my universe and I thank you for giving
me an environment to flourish truly you
make it easy to be a power couple so I
thank you baby
every
genre every era every decade of life has
within a Zeitgeist this is a German word
that means Spirit of the times
when we look over at history we’ll see
that there were different decades in
those decades each had a different
zeitgeist
in the 60s we saw the rise of the civil
rights movement that was a part of the
Zeitgeist of the time the 20s were the
Jazz Age the 80s gave way to electronic
music and Hip-Hop the 70s proves that
when y’all say our music is nasty that
y’all must have forgot that the 70s
was Make Love Not War and y’all wasn’t
talking about agape love I saw some of
the footage and some of you all were at
Woodstock I don’t know if you were
evangelizing
but they told me they saw you with
flowers in your head it wasn’t a crown
of thorns I don’t want to be in your
business
every decade has a zeitgeist
it’s hard to say what this one will be
and of course it takes time playing out
to really understand in context in the
fullness of a perspective what the
Zeitgeist is but I cannot imagine a
world where the Zeitgeist of this time
doesn’t include a conversation around
Wellness
now more than ever
there has been an emphasis on the
discussion of mental and emotional
Wellness
in a way that is unprecedented for the
preceding times
it’s so interesting because initially I
thought that maybe it was just a part of
the Zeitgeist of Black Culture like
because black people don’t talk about
mental health we weren’t talking about
depression we weren’t talking about
anxiety but then I went and talked to my
white friends and my white friend says
girl we weren’t talking about it over
here either
an Asian Community say that it’s not
something that’s talked about heavily
there either in the latinx community
says
like we’re not talking about that here
either y’all didn’t know I had that
Spanish I pulled that out for you
[Applause]
