Build to Build the Kingdom 0:00 There are 2 unforgivable in our culture being not successful enough and being too successful. People want you average. You're safe when you're0:11 average. When you're gonna step into challenge and where God's gonna call you a God sized dream, get ready because you won't be average, and you'll be a danger to the enemy,0:23 and you're a threat to those who do not wanna see you succeed. Oh my goodness, Desiree and Craig. Seriously, thank you for trusting me. We really never have met only on teams0:35 meetings and different things. And Craig would say, you don't talk like a pastor's wife. And so, you know, you kinda talk like a business person, an entrepreneur. And get into that world0:47 because it's the engine, it's the backbone of America that fuels all that we get to do. It's the business marketplace leaders, men and women. So that is where I want to get close to. Yes, I live in the house of0:59 ministers and pastors, but I was raised in the home of of of a businessman. So I respect that so much. Before I get started, by the way, if she goes1:11 missing, Jasmine's because I stole her and took her home. She is the most fantastic thing. We cannot take her for granted. Wow. I think I got saved again. I was raised with that kind of music. So1:23 it just was like, oh my word. In the West Coast, we think we do Pentecostal. We do not know what we're doing. Has to happen, like, east of Texas or something. I don't know. But1:35 today, I'm gonna talk about build to build the kingdom. Build. What are you building? Your family, your community, your church, your business? It's all to build the kingdom.1:46 There's an it's not for you, it's not for us, it's to build the kingdom. It's people. People are is the only thing that we're gonna be able to take with us to heaven. Like I mentioned, I was raised1:58 in a a businessman's home. My dad was Jesus and integrity 1st. It was the cornerstone principles that formed and fashioned my value system. Tell the truth,2:10 keep your word, practice what you say you believe. The big 1 was more is expected out of you. Well, why is more expected out of me, dad? Well, you're living the2:22 life that most people aren't. My dad worked hard. This didn't just happen. A lot of people see people and what they have, say I want to have what you have, but do you want to2:34 work to get what he has? They don't see the behind the scenes of what it took the grit, the backbone, the sweat to get there. Here's an example. My dad was a teacher,2:46 graduated with a bachelor's in business and a master's in music, and he was a teacher. And and during the weekend when the other teachers would go home and complain about their salary,2:58 he would drive down to LA, fly down to LA, get a car that needed to be fixed up, drive it all the way back up to Spokane, Washington. And every night during the week3:10 when everyone else was on their La Z Boys, he was at a detailed body shop remodeling and painting cars. And the teachers would get so bugged3:23 because he would come all the time with a new car. Who do you think you are showing up with a Corvette? Well, while you were sitting on your La Z Boy, I'm driving down to LA and back and working all night with the auto3:34 body shop. That's how people don't wanna see you succeed like that. Well, he went from that to, being a remodeling a 32 bedroom, English3:46 tutor house. Mobile home park. He managed that, then was able to get a loan and start building apartments. And he moved down to Phoenix,3:58 Arizona. And boy, if that wasn't the biggest blessing in my life, because that's where I met my husband. We started going to Phoenix 1st assembly and I got to, marry into the Barnett family. I'll talk more about that4:10 in a minute. But my dad really moved down. That was God inspired opportunity to move down to Phoenix with the boom. My brother would stand on an empty lot, and they would4:21 look at this empty lot, charted for 4 20 apartment units to be built. And day 1, my brother would go, What's the 1st thing we do?4:34 He said, Well, son, today we're just gonna move dirt. The clicker is not moving dirt. Autopilot, there you go.4:46 So, you know, when you're standing in the empty lot, and maybe it's a new business that's coming your way, and you're just looking at an empty lot, and there's big vision that's supposed to happen on that dirt lot,4:58 Just move some dirt each and every day. My brother and dad were getting the trench kind of guys. They had a gentleman walk on to the work site and my dad was down in the5:10 trench observing the the work. And, a guy walked up and and said, I'm looking I'm looking for looking for someone. Well, can I help you? No, I'm not I'm not talking to you. You're5:22 just a worker. I'm I'm looking for the boss. I need to talk to the boss. And he says, well, well, you're looking at him. The guy right in his tracks because not always do you expect the boss to be in the trenches. And5:33 that was a walk the talk character. Do what you say you're gonna do, get in the trenches, kind of dad. And I got to see those kind of values displayed. My dad would also say, Go5:45 beyond success and build significance. Culture is gonna tell you the number, the magic number of success is where you get to stop. That's where you get to hang your hat. God is saying that we go5:56 beyond success and build significance. Well, what what is significance? Well, it's kingdom impact. That is significance. It was6:08 always God's kingdom 1st in my dad's family. I watched as a little girl him writing many checks and we still wrote checks, stack full of for widows6:20 and orphanages and schools in Haiti and sober living, until my dad in Phoenix ran into a true visionary. A true visionary that truly unlocked6:32 giving. Maybe it was just a vision big enough to get behind world. Tommy Barnett, pastor of Phoenix 1st Assembly, had such a big vision6:45 of the LA Dream Center. My dad actually told him not to do it. He goes, Tommy, you're you're a busy guy. You're in your 60s. Something like this in LA? You have no business doing this because he's a6:56 practical businessman. But when you intersect with a ministry minded vision, God given visionary, it's not gonna make sense on paper. That's the beauty when business7:08 and vision collide. And my dad, just in that 1 project alone, gave 2000000 dollars to the l LA Dream Center to make sure that it opened up and started. Even if he didn't agree with it, he7:20 was gonna get behind a god sized dream and vision. Everything we do starts with a vision that births a dream, a dream for your family, your church community, and your7:32 business. What is your dream for your business? You know, it's fun to hear stories about Walt Disney. He'd pull all of his brainstorming team around the table and they would, share ideas7:44 and people would get excited and go, That's a great idea. Let's do that. And then he would drop something on him and they'd say, that can't happen. That's impossible.7:56 And Walt Disney say it would say that's exactly what we're gonna do then because I do the impossible. As we're leaving, leading our companies, let's not do what is comfortable. Let's do what scares8:08 the pants off of everyone. Because when you engage God in it, you're gonna show every employee that no, we didn't do this. We partner with God and he did that. That's where the miracles happen. You know, we8:20 are the New Testament church in days in the Old Testament. God would have to speak through the prophets to inspire visions and dreams, but we have a spirit living inside of each and every 1 of8:31 us. Vision is clear, the8:43 results will appear. There was a doctor, a professor, David Cole that went to Virginia Tech and did a case study on hundreds of people asking them8:55 spontaneously, what are your dreams? What are your visions? Your goal? What are your goals? Can you tell me right now? Here is the result of that study. 80 percent of people he interacted with9:06 had no idea what they were called to do. They hadn't thought about it. 16 percent had thought about it, never written it down. 3 percent have written9:18 it down, look at those goals and visions and dreams once in a while. 1 percent. 1 percent of those people have it written down,9:30 look at it every day and profess, proclaim, and speak it out so we can hear it. There's a reason that we call them the 1 percenters. It takes intentionality. You become9:42 what you behold.9:55 Famous people are, I think, over glorified. Great people are under glorified. If you think of someone who is10:07 great in your life, close your eyes and imagine right now who is great in your life. Not gonna be Tom Cruise. It's gonna be a coach, a teacher, a pastor, real people10:19 that formed and fashioned your life. Those are great people because they serve other people. You know, my my father-in-law,10:31 that's Tommy Barnett right there running to Los Angeles at the age of 60. Christy was a 60 or 6 his his daughter is here. Christy Barnett. Woo.10:46 What drives a man to run from Phoenix to Los Angeles to raise money for the Los Angeles Dream Center? That was painful. Had to bring awareness. That is a get in the10:57 trench kind of a guy. That is who people will follow. Matthew Barnett, that is Christy's brother and my husband's brother. He11:09 runs the LA Dream Center that houses 8 20 people coming off the street going vocational development, serving people every single day. And it is11:21 grit and grind to raise money for an organization, the Queen of Angels Hospital. Imagine how much responsibility that is. So he did the 7 7 7.11:33 7 days, 7 continents, 7 marathons. Talk about putting your body through the ringer. This raising money stuff is dangerous. No 1 told me that when I signed11:45 up. Matthew, he put his body through and he he had a panic attack at the last, plane ride to Australia. He was in the11:57 hospital and and he he shared the vision with the doctor. Doctor says, you are not fit to even attempt this last 1. He says, I have to. There are commitments. People have gotten12:09 behind us. They've sponsored us. You have to get me out there. He won the doctor over with the vision, and he juiced him up with something water boy water or whatever was going through those IVs. He got his12:21 hiney out there, and he absolutely finished. You can see his skin is literally hanging off of of his body. Why would somebody put their body through this for other12:32 people? It's the only reason to do something that crazy. My husband, not to be outdone by his father or his brother, talk about living in a12:44 household of big dreaming crazy people. The Shore Creek Dream Center has something we'll talk about in a minute, but my, daughter, Annalee, and my husband were gonna do the Arizona Trail, 82012:56 miles from Utah to Mexico, 128000 feet of elevation gain. And on mile 500 in the Superstition Mountains, my daughter was going down in front of a boulder beforeVision Births God-Sized Dreams 13:08 him. He touched the boulder all of a sudden the earth moved out from underneath him. It was heading right for her. He jumped in front. He pushed her out of the way. It sucked him up and rode him down13:20 passing right in front of her. She said, I just saw my dad die. And it rode him down 30 feet and it hitched up right at the end, broke his femur, his ribs, his arms almost like lost a finger,13:32 but not a scratch on his head. And And the night before there was a man that was at a prayer meeting and he said, God gave me a vision and I can13:44 tell you exactly what the angel was wearing and what he looked like. All I saw and he didn't know this story till after everything happened is him put his hands out and stop a boulder. Yeah.14:02 So when we're willing to do dangerous things for people that will never be able to think, thank you. Why? Why would we risk this kind of bodily injury14:14 for people we don't know? Because great lives are built around great dreams. God's dream for your life is much bigger,14:26 much bigger than yours. When you share people, your dreams with people, be careful who you share them with. Do you have a Tommy Barnett14:39 in your life? Someone who is championing you, pushing you, challenging you? He is 88 years old and just went to the Ukraine by himself.14:51 His assistant, Lynn Lane, is right here. She's worked with him 55 years. This is how you leave a legacy. You have undeterred15:05 calling and you follow people. Great lives are built around great dreams. This was evident in the life of Joseph. Desiree, I know you love15:16 Joseph. Joseph, he was the favorite. He was telling his brothers about his dreams. And that that kind of went bad for him. He got sold. He went into slavery. He was15:28 forgotten about. Then he was elevated. And then he was there to navigate a famine and save a nation. There are 2 unforgivables15:40 in our culture being not successful enough and being too successful. People want you average. You're safe when you're15:52 average. When you're gonna step into challenge and where God's gonna call you a God sized dream, get ready. Because you won't be average and you'll be a danger to the enemy16:04 and you're a threat to those who do not want to see you succeed. Monty Williams was a young boy in California. His father was a very poor horse trainer. He was in school 1 day and the teacher gave him an16:16 assignment. Said I want everybody to share what you want for your future, what your dreams and visions are. Well, that was easy for Monty because he wanted to be just like his dad. Well,16:28 but he wanted to train thoroughbred racehorses. And he had a vision of big, big ranch in the racetrack and the tack rooms and the bunkhouses. He had it all planned out in his head. He was so excited to go home16:43 turned it in the next day with pride. He was he just knew the teacher was gonna be so proud of him. He was gonna get an A. Well, the next day, the teacher turned back all16:59 what I did. Teacher, what what did I do wrong? She goes, Monty, you need to go back and make adjustments to your paper. Your dad's poor. And do you know how much it is per acre in17:11 California? Do you know what this dream will cost? Yeah, this is true story. She goes, I'm gonna give you another chance. Go home and make an adjustment, something that's realistic for you to achieve.17:26 Happened. He goes, Dad, what do I do? He goes, I can't tell you what to do, son. But the next thing that you choose to do will affect the rest of your life. He thought about it17:38 long and hard. And he went back the next day and turned in the same paper. And he said, teacher, you can keep your f. I'm gonna keep my dream. Basically,17:50 like, keep this take this job and shove it moment, which I love. God's dream18:01 for your life is bigger than yours. Tommy Barnett has been in ministry for 80, for 72 years, and he's 88. He's responsible for the Los Angeles Dream Center, the Phoenix Dream Center, and the18:13 320 other dream centers that have been birthed all over the nation and some internationally. But this is what he would say, if you can achieve your goal on your own, it's18:25 not a God sized dream, it's a you dream. So analyze. How big is your dream for your company? Is it a you dream or is it a God sized dream? People always ask Tommy this18:37 1 question. I think this is incredible. They say, what would you do in your life that's different? He said, I would take bigger risks and I would dream bigger dreams because18:49 God did every single 1 of them. That is a challenge for all of us at 88 years old. So my life19:01 changed radically after I had 2 children. They got married, they wonderful boys, and everything was great. And I'm looking at my life at 48 years old going, all the most exciting best days of19:13 my life have kind of passed me by. It's kind of over. And, I was like, yeah, just an addict, real excited about the future. And I knew we had dream centers, but I really was busy raising my kids and doing whatever I19:25 could do in the church environment to serve and come alongside my husband. When 1 day I met, the most incredible group of people, we had received a dream center on the border of19:36 Utah and Arizona. It was a obscure little town called Short Creek. And that brave young girl you see there, her name is Brielle Decker. Well, you19:48 see a faint picture there with, Warren Jeffs. So she is the 60. Am I only the only 1 seeing this? No. Can you guys make that happen up there in the20:00 beautiful technology world? Oh, back 1. There we go. Oh. No. Back back. There we go. Brielle Decker. There we go. 65th wife of Warren Jeffs. She was born20:12 into systemic religious trafficking. 14000 people under control of Warren Jeffs. She made a radical escape from 1 of the compounds, never giving up20:23 her fight and her vision and dream for freedom. She finally was able to release herself by unscrewing a nail from the wall and getting out of her rope and out of20:35 a window. Very long story short, she made her way to the Phoenix Dream Center. She still needed help physically and mentally. And Warren Jeffs had been locked up in federal prison in Texas. And she20:47 found that the Phoenix Dream Center and she could not believe what she was seeing before her. A place where people were able to come in of all walks of life and trauma and exploitation.20:59 And she said, will you take the keys to my house? Can I give you my house? Like, what's your house? The house where I used to live. I was 1 of the wives of Warren Jeffs. It's my house now, but I can't afford it. I'd21:11 like to give it to you. So the very brave, director of the Phoenix Dream Center, Brian Steele, who he said, who on earth am I to say no to a woman who has a vision and a dream of freedom and21:23 helping thousand thousands of other women and children that are waiting to be rescued and recovered, renew and rebuild their lives. And so we said yes. Where I come into it is that21:35 he had so much to run-in Phoenix. He asked me if I would take the reins of this dream center, which was a 44 bedroom, 29000 square foot house, 10 acre compound. I did21:47 so, ill equipped, had no idea what I was doing other than when I met these beautiful people. I couldn't unsee it and I couldn't get them off my skin into my last21:59 dying breath and dying day. I will do everything I can to be a part of life restoration. So at this day, 7 years in, we have22:11 12 buildings in 3 different geographic locations. We have a food bank that 2000000 pounds of food a year. We have education initiatives,22:22 transition housing, where they have jobs and budget coaching. We help them with transportation, just the life restoration that is now used to be a documentary is now a22:34 place where God is able to write a future. We don't talk about their past, we talk about their future. We're all we also have a crisis pregnancy house where moms are able22:46 to come in, who decide to keep their baby. And we're able to take those barriers away that have women say, I can't keep my baby because of safety, financing, and support. Well, we have home that they can come22:58 into this precious little couple here. She's, kissing her little boy. He was locked up in a closet for 4 years of his life, never had a birthday party. She ran under,Great Lives Are Built Around Great Dreams 23:12 the threat of a rifle. He was holding at her and we had been talking to the sister and she made a radical escape and came to us in Sholo, Arizona and she was pregnant. Able23:24 to get them jobs and independence. The other precious family is off the reservation and the tiny home village that we are now able to mom23:36 with older children and younger children to come in. Many times the system will separate women and children. Moms will live in their car before they let their son go into another program and where they know23:47 abuse will happen. So having an encapsulated house is changing the way we get to serve people as such a privilege. And then, Joyce Meyer23:59 Ministry has invited, us the dream institute to build their 1 of our largest supporters. We are building a 10000 square foot intake lodge, and then we'll have tiny home24:11 village on the backside. That'll put us, just Dream Institute, at 200 beds by March. And so grateful to be able to, in Utah, take territory24:23 for Jesus, right? This facility will be for trafficking victims, street trafficking from Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. But women from all over the nation,24:36 can come to our centers. That's why there's not enough of this. Where could we go if we could do more? Be a cheerleader of other people's dreams24:48 because in the process you're gonna find your own. Be a cheerleader of other people's dreams. You will never find more fulfillment. I have never been more excited about life. I'm getting25:00 to learn and where I'm ill equipped, incredible people who've already been there, done that, know that, come alongside of me. All the scary areas of financing and legal and risk. I didn't go to schoolLife Restoration at the Dream Center 25:12 for any of that. I just was dumb enough to say yes and ask people for help. We all can do anything even in our business or our family if we ask for help and include the talented people that are25:24 waiting to help you. The picture of Luke and Constance Meredith, they both came into the Phoenix Dream Center. Luke Meredith was a field nurse in25:36 the army. He got hooked on meth because he couldn't handle eating breakfast with his friends and losing them at lunch. And he at lunch. And he went into the army to get out of poverty25:48 and he just couldn't handle what he saw. He had 3 heart attacks at the age of 25. So he went into the Phoenix Dream Center and built 1 of the strongest veterans program the Phoenix26:00 Dream Center has ever had. So he is up at the Short Creek Dream Center leading that organization. Constance came from the streets of Phoenix through crime,26:13 jail. She went to the Phoenix Dream Center and built the largest and strongest anti trafficking program in North America. President Trump's anti trafficking team came to visit the best26:24 practices, which is a 93 percent success rate a year and 0.5 after graduation. They're like, how are you doing that? Well, it's called the church. That's how we're doing that government.26:36 Without your help, 0.5 the price, twice the time, you're welcome, which we don't take any federal funding, way too much red tape. Don't get me started26:48 on that. So proud of Luke and Constance that they would be able to go and make history. The27:00 documentaries that have categorized the atrocities have only gleaned off of the stories. Doctor. Phil, Megan, Kelly, Oprah Winfrey, they flew into their27:12 helicopter interviews and guess who didn't go back? Them. Guess who God sent back? The church. Because we're not leaving. We didn't fly in and fly out. We're staying.What If God Is Calling You to More 27:24 We're doing life with you. We love you. And it works. We do have a 93 percent success rate a year and 0.5 after graduation. There is hope. So let me ask27:36 you 3 questions as I close. What if? What if God is calling you to more? Why not you? What's not27:48 being done in the world? What stirs you up? What eats at you? Because that's an incredible motivating driving factor that can propel your business to make a kingdom impact.28:00 Do you know that there is 3 25000000000 with a b dollars non distribute not distributed every year out of donor advised funds? I'd say it's the biggest prison for Christian28:12 dollars and resources that is entrapped because of a lack of trust. We don't know where to send it. Well, 65000000000 is distributed, but28:22 325000000000 not? Well, how much more could we do you guys? Are you kidding me? And my last question is, why not me? Why not28:34 you? God is looking for someone to stand up and say, sign me up. I'll go all in. Choose me. Let me just pray28:46 over you. Lord, we just thank you that you're gonna give each person here a God sized dream, something that scares them and it's okay. I just pray your blessings and inspiration over their family, their church, their28:57 community, and their business. That is a talent that you have gifted them to foster. And we thank you that you are gonna blessed Christian29:09 businesses to impact the kingdom because the only people that we're taking with us are souls. We thank you for the challenge and we thank you for this day. In your name we pray.In this video 0:00 Build to Build the Kingdom13:00 Vision Births God-Sized Dreams23:00 Great Lives Are Built Around Great Dreams25:06 Life Restoration at the Dream Center27:13 What If God Is Calling You to More
