In this milestone episode of the PUR.spective Podcast, host DP pulls back the curtain on major network updates, including the show's official expansion to terrestrial radio on WDJY 99.1 FM in Metro Atlanta! Moving past the mic and into broader media spaces, DP breaks down the intentional strategy behind building a podcast network and elevating indie creators.
Shifting from network milestones to deep spiritual healing, this episode tackles a heavy cultural and societal truth: growth requires change, and some rooms will require you to evolve. Using the powerful biblical narrative of Jacob’s wrestling match, name change, and reconciliation with Esau, DP explores the uncomfortable reality of code-switching, shedding old toxic identities, and why the mindset that got you through your last season cannot sustain you in your next one.
If you are navigating a major life transition, healing from fractured relationships, or trying to understand how faith and character alignment dictate the spaces you’re destined to enter, this episode is for you.
Key Discussion Points:
- Network Growth & Radio Expansion: Celebrating the journey of the Viewpoint Podcast Network expanding to FM radio.
- The Anatomy of Code-Switching: Redefining code-switching not as a loss of identity, but as a tool for structural maturity and entering new environments.
- The Jacob & Esau Principle: A deep-dive biblical look at how character transformation, forgiveness, and wrestling with divine timing precede promise fulfillment.
- Outgrowing Old Spaces: Why certain mindsets, behaviors, and relationships cannot cross the threshold into your next season.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 on when this drops, the last time we talked,
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33 I told you about the podcast network that we
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 started. It's called Viewpoints Podcast Network.
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41 And again, depending on when this particular
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 video drops, if this video drops, we are either
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 already doing what I'm getting ready to tell
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 you we're doing, We are in the works to start
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 doing what I already tell you we're doing all
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56 right, but needless to say as a network we have
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01 had the opportunity to grow and expand a little
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06 bit and coming in October coming in October probably
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10 around mid -october around October 12th all of
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 the shows on the viewcasts you cast viewpoint
00:02:13 --> 00:02:21 black -ass network We'll be on WDJY 99 .1 FM
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25 in the Metro Atlanta area. We as a network are
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29 getting ready to be on the radio. And man, I
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34 couldn't be more excited for every show that's
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37 part of the network. Thank you to Global Hype
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41 Media and to the family over at WDJY. DJ why
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 99 .1 for giving us the opportunity to collaborate
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48 with you all and to bring our shows to the metro
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53 Atlanta area man I am I'm super excited. I'm
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58 happy for every show This was a long time coming.
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02 I think I said when I wanted to start podcasting
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08 one of the things I kind of saw or maybe put
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13 in mine and mention from my musical mind, my
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 musical standpoint, majority of the time when
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 you have an artist and you're trying to, what
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22 they call break them, right? You would make them
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 a couple of singles and their singles would go
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 on the radio and depending on how good that artist's
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30 singles did on the radio. Ultimately will determine
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 how many people actually bought their album right
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 because if I listen to your singles on the radio
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 And I hear it and I like it majority of time
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39 I may go buy your album to hear the rest of the
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43 album so to be honest that's kind of the thought
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47 process or the the secret sauce I'd say to my
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51 reason behind wanting to put Not just my show,
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55 but all the shows in our network on the radio
00:03:55 --> 00:04:00 on some other type of big media station So that
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 way, again, if you listen to a couple episodes
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 on the radio or you listen to someone on another
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 platform or doing another interview somewhere
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 else, it would ultimately make you want to go
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13 listen to everything they had, right? And again,
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17 I'm super excited. We have some amazing shows.
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22 Moments of Refreshing with Bruce Howard, Healing
00:04:22 --> 00:04:29 Over Time with Deja, Rooted in Grace. With jay
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34 purdy, um, we have band pit to pulpit with dr
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37 Brandon mccrae And then you just stuck with me
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 for the rest of the shows, right? We got perspective
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 with me. Uh, we have destiny hall, which is a
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45 which is a bible study. Um, Uh, we've taken that
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47 bible study and kind of turned it into a podcast
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 so people can listen to it on the go and then
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53 Coming probably if not the end of this year very
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59 very early 2027. Um Another great project that's
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 really close to my heart. It's called Jada's
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 Journey I'll probably do another episode talking
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 more in depth about Jada's Journey and even my
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11 daughter So that is a podcast that is centered
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 around her journey and how she is discovering
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17 the world With the beautiful mind that she has
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20 and I'm super excited man for every show like
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23 every show It's like, you know, you're giving
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 somebody a baby. Like, you know, you let them
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27 see, hey, man, this is what I've been able to
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30 accomplish and help other people produce. And
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 every show is going to be great. Every host is
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36 going to be great. And furthermore, if you either
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38 are a podcaster. or you're looking to be a podcast,
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 you're an author, you're a writer, you're a preacher,
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44 you're a coach, you're an entrepreneur. Maybe
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47 you have something that you're trying to get
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 people to purchase. You may have a program, you
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53 may have a coaching cohort, and you want to use
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57 your platform and maybe make it into a podcast
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 or into a podcast. Maybe you thought about podcasting,
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 never really kind of figured out the ins and
00:06:02 --> 00:06:08 outs of it and where to go. Call me, man. I'm
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11 trying to tell you is call me. I'm probably gonna
00:06:11 --> 00:06:18 link my email and probably even our podcast Apple
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20 podcast channel at the bottom of the description
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22 if you're watching this on YouTube or whatever,
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26 you know, we're gonna put this on Let's get to
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29 work man. I think there's a lot of people Even
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 though again, we think that everybody podcast
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 everybody is, you know saturating the podcast
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38 space again. It's really not Most people's podcasts
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42 don't last past a certain point. And sometimes
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46 people just need the boost, the nudge, the plan,
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 someone with the skill that can help you scale.
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 Sometimes you need someone with the skill to
00:06:52 --> 00:06:58 help you scale. And that is one facet of what
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 the Viewpoint Podcast Network has been given
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 the opportunity to do. It is our job to help
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06 those podcasts. people who are starting or people
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08 who are struggling help you scale help you get
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11 to a point where hey my podcast is you know allowing
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15 me to get a certain amount of impressions or
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 a certain amount of customers clientele people
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 buy my books all because they get to hear my
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 voice hear my testimony hear my story through
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 my podcast and again if you are in that space
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 and you're just looking on trying to figure out
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30 you know where do I go how do I start I do do
00:07:30 --> 00:07:36 one free consultation Say it again. I do one
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39 free consultation everything else Yeah, there
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 is a tag to it because this is part of my business.
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 But um, you know, let's work man Let's see how
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49 we can help you as a network and let's see, you
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52 know, what what can become of your testimony
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56 your story your product and I think No matter
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58 who we work with we're gonna have an amazing
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01 time, you know One of one of one of the shows
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 We had a conversation the other day or I called
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05 him the other day because I needed him to do
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 something for his show And he was on the phone
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 with his wife and he is the phone is that a man
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12 I had to tell my wife I'll call you back because
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16 the mob boss is calling. I'm not a tyrant. I'm
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20 not my boss. I Just want to make sure that everybody's
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23 stuff everybody's show goes. Well, so again if
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28 you are in that space author podcaster already
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31 entrepreneur if you're a pastor if you're a church
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35 and you're looking to Take those messages and
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 and curate something that people can listen to
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40 on the go and people can hear hit me up man Let's
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43 work. Let's do something. Let's see how we can
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46 help send your message and your media to the
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51 masses With all that being said I know we got
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 to get into today's episode which ain't really
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57 gonna be that long But even in where I am personally
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01 now Business -wise and doing certain things and
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04 curating things and helping people discover.
00:09:04 --> 00:09:09 I found out personally that There's certain rooms
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12 in certain places that you can't go into until
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16 you change I'm gonna let that sit in because
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19 some of y 'all Have already made up in your mind.
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23 I'm not changing for anybody, right? There's
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26 a there's a culture culture word called cold
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29 switching, right? and I think cold switching
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34 has always got like a negative understanding
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 or negative vibe to it because we think that
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39 in order to cold switch you have to be something
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44 else to fit into a room and I kind of want to
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48 submit to you right that sometimes you have to
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 cold switch so that you can actually stay in
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53 certain rooms and be in certain rooms because
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 certain rooms are going to require you not to
00:09:55 --> 00:10:00 be yourself certain places, certain rooms, certain
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03 things that we do, to be honest, they are going
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 to require you not to be yourself. They're going
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 to require you to come out of your shell. They're
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 going to require you to sometimes hone yourself
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15 in. They're going to require you to not be so
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 mean, to not be so brash. They're going to require
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21 you to not think that you run everything and
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25 be disrespectful. Depending on where you are
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29 destined to go, will determine the actions in
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 the course of action you're gonna have to take,
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34 not only to get into that room, but to actually
00:10:34 --> 00:10:39 stay in that room. People don't understand sometimes
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43 that your character matters where you go, right?
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47 If I wasn't, number one, an upstanding person
00:10:47 --> 00:10:52 to even have people trust me with something that
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56 they're doing, right? If I wasn't the type of
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 person that could deliver, deliver on time, make
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01 sure I'm doing things on time, there wouldn't
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 be people who trust me with their thoughts and
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06 ideas, right? There wouldn't be people who say,
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07 you know, I'm going to put my, number one, I'm
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10 going to pay him. Then number two, I'm going
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13 to pay him to take something that I want to do
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17 and to help me make it flourish. So I think sometimes
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 we just think that people are supposed to support
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23 us because maybe, you know, we family or They're
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 supposed to support us cuz you know, you know,
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 we're African -american So we're gonna buy black
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 and we all gonna we're gonna we're gonna you
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33 know look out for each other and sometimes hey
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36 sometimes it be your own people that Can't support
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40 you because of what you're doing Right. I'm not
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42 it doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter who
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 you are If you have bad business, you have bad
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48 business plain and simple if you if if if you
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51 were you know purple and lived on the moon. If
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52 I went to your establishment and your business
00:11:52 --> 00:11:58 was bad, I'm not buying from you again. So cold
00:11:58 --> 00:12:03 switching works when we actually understand that
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08 for where we're going and for the actual longevity
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 of the space we want to be in, you actually are
00:12:11 --> 00:12:18 going to have to change. Sometimes to even get
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21 into what it is that God wants you to get into.
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25 Some of the things that are promised to us and
00:12:25 --> 00:12:29 some of the things that are predestined that
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33 God wants us to walk into, you're going to have
00:12:33 --> 00:12:38 to change. There's no getting around it. I think
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 I either talked on this podcast or something
00:12:40 --> 00:12:47 else I was on where I never understood why people
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 want to be themselves so bad when the Bible tells
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52 us to do a lot of changing. Be transformed by
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55 the knowing of your mind change change stop doing
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58 this start doing this stop doing this start doing
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01 this to even accept Christ you have to change
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05 right it says You become a new Creature which
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09 means some of the things I was doing I can't
00:13:09 --> 00:13:14 justify them as if now that I want to change
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17 my mind Um that I can take some of that over
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20 with me No, I have to cold switch and i'm not
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23 necessarily cold switching for people i'm cold
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25 switching for me Because there may have been
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28 some things about the last me that aren't going
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32 to work in this new season Put your glasses on.
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35 I haven't said that in a while I feel excited
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38 saying that put your glasses on Just because
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41 that was the old me and it worked there doesn't
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44 mean it's going to work here especially in some
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48 of the places where it is God has promised for
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50 some of us to go to right? You know this isn't
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53 a Bible study, but I am a Disciple Christian
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56 with every I want to call yourselves You know
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58 I do my I do my very best to be a follower of
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01 Jesus Christ And I try to do what he says I'm
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04 supposed to do in the earth, okay? That's beside
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09 the point, but we have to understand that cold
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14 switching only works Number one when you have
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17 a good intent behind. I'm not changing because
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20 of anybody else or to gain access to anything
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22 else I'm doing it because I know it's going to
00:14:22 --> 00:14:26 be required for the longevity of where I'm going
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29 and as long as I'm not doing it and um number
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32 one to be weird because sometimes people cold
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35 switch and they become very weird um they do
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38 it and they become very braggadocious or they
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42 become very narcissistic um that's not the point
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44 of cold switching the point of cold switching
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48 is to make sure that the rooms I walk into I'm
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52 able to be a Thermostat and not a thermometer,
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54 right? I'm able to go into that room set the
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58 tone set the pace show what I can do show who
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01 I am from a positive light and Make sure that
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04 those things that may not fit in this room. I
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07 don't bring into this room Because it's not gonna
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10 work It's gonna make everybody uncomfortable
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12 I'm not gonna be the most productive person that
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17 I can be if I don't make certain changes and
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20 Again, this is perspective, so everything we
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23 do has to be shown from a different viewpoint.
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28 And even while thinking of this episode and thinking
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30 about what I was going to talk about, the story
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35 of Jacob came to mind. I think some people, again,
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39 you may know Jacob wrestled with an angel or
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43 god or however the theological fight or thought
00:15:43 --> 00:15:47 behind that is. but at the end of the day in
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51 order for him to go into what was promised for
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55 him he had to change right the nature of Jacob
00:15:55 --> 00:16:01 before his moment of change um was he was a trickster
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06 his name meant what he was and he operated in
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10 what he was very well up until this particular
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13 point up until the point where he wrestles with
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17 the angel he is not in promise he's doing what
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19 he needs to do to get by he's doing what he needs
00:16:19 --> 00:16:24 to do to secure what he felt like was important
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27 to him until it was time for him to go into the
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31 promise of God for him because of the promise
00:16:31 --> 00:16:36 God had made to his grandfather and when it comes
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38 time for him to get into that land he has to
00:16:38 --> 00:16:45 have a fight with a divine being And in that
00:16:45 --> 00:16:52 moment, Jacob's name gets changed, his nature
00:16:52 --> 00:16:58 gets changed, and his heart gets changed. His
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00 name gets changed, his nature gets changed, his
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04 heart changes. His name changes because in that
00:17:04 --> 00:17:09 moment he goes from Jacob to Israel, right? He
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13 goes from being known or named, his representation
00:17:13 --> 00:17:18 of being a trickster gets changed to One that
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21 is Israel one that is part of the promise of
00:17:21 --> 00:17:28 God his nature changes because To be a trickster
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31 you have to move a certain kind of way, right?
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35 We all know that person Or, you know that family
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37 member. We know we know that Negro lie, right?
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39 We know this person acts like this. We know this
00:17:39 --> 00:17:43 person acts like that and depending upon What
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45 we know of them will determine how we see them
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48 moving. They move like a snake. I can't trust
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51 them. They move like a snake. They move like
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54 a rat. They do this, they do that. And in order
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57 for Jacob to go into what is promised to him,
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01 the nature, his nature, how he moved had to change.
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04 Because the Bible says that the angel hits him
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07 in his hip. So instead of him walking how he's
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09 walked all his life, he now has to walk with
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12 a limp. He now has to walk with dependency. He
00:18:12 --> 00:18:18 now can only go so far, so long, a certain way.
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22 He can't move like a snake anymore. And for some
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23 of the rooms and the areas many of us are going
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29 to, we can't move like we used to move. We can't.
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31 Dude, we just can't. It's just not gonna work.
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35 It's not gonna work in that space. And the faster
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39 we understand that some things about me aren't
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44 going to work here, even though I may love that
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47 about me, it's not gonna work in this next season.
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50 It's not gonna work in this new space. That mindset
00:18:50 --> 00:18:57 ain't gonna work at this new job. This mindset
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01 or this self -esteem isn't gonna work in this
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04 next relationship. Going to certain things next
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07 are gonna require you to not be what you were
00:19:07 --> 00:19:11 the last time. So, Jacob's name gets changed,
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14 he becomes Israel. how he moved gets changed
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17 because now he's hitting his hip and his heart
00:19:17 --> 00:19:23 has to change because his brother has been occupying
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27 and working the space that is promised to him
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29 but his heart has to get changed because the
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31 last time he saw his brother he had tricked his
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33 brother out of his birthright and his brother
00:19:33 --> 00:19:39 wanted to kill him and so in order to not walk
00:19:39 --> 00:19:44 into this next space hostile or to be able to
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46 actually now see your brother after years of
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49 not seeing him God has to touch his heart change
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52 his heart because not only are you going to have
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57 to apologize but you're gonna have to forgive
00:19:57 --> 00:20:05 too and while God is working on Jacob's heart
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09 he has to work on Esau's heart because to think
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12 that I'm gonna let somebody back into my life
00:20:12 --> 00:20:16 that I already know I can't trust Right that
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18 I that has already tried to play me that has
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22 already tried to make me feel less than And then
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24 for them to come into something that I've already
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29 built without them God has to put both brothers
00:20:29 --> 00:20:33 on opposite ends of the promise and really touch
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36 their heart because they're gonna have to Forgive
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40 each other accept each other and learn to now
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44 love this new version of each other because Esau
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47 isn't the same guy that he was when Jacob left
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49 and Jacob is not getting ready to be the same
00:20:49 --> 00:20:54 guy he was when he left so our hearts have to
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56 get changed even for some of the spaces we go
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57 into because you don't know who you're gonna
00:20:57 --> 00:21:02 have to work with in those spaces put your glasses
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05 on sometimes your heart has to change for the
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08 space you're going into because you don't know
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10 who you're going to have to work with so maybe
00:21:10 --> 00:21:13 you can't be so quick to be judgmental Maybe
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16 you can't be so quick to cut people off. Maybe
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19 you can't be so quick to be vindictive. Maybe
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22 you can't be so quick to hold a grudge. Your
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25 heart has to be touched and changed because where
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27 you're going, you don't know who you're going
00:21:27 --> 00:21:32 to have to work with. You don't know who you're
00:21:32 --> 00:21:37 going to have to collaborate with to make things
00:21:37 --> 00:21:41 go smooth, right? Quick story, when I got on
00:21:41 --> 00:21:46 the radio, pitched I pitched to this particular
00:21:46 --> 00:21:54 radio station as a podcast network head I guess
00:21:54 --> 00:21:58 or runner or you know establishment area whatever
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02 and so when I got the call from the I guess the
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06 talent person from the radio station she called
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08 and we had a meeting said hey I really like your
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12 show I said okay well cool thank you She said
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15 uh, but she said you have a network, right? I
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17 said yeah, I said, you know, I have about seven
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21 shows that we're producing and she was in awe
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25 of our ability to do that and Again my main goal
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27 and my main job that even though she'd like my
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31 show I wanted to push the agenda that I have
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35 other shows that are great and She said well,
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38 I got your show, but I don't see anybody else's
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40 I And I said, well, you know, I can send you
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42 the links to listen to everybody else's show.
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45 And she said, no, she said, I know if your show
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48 is good and you produce these shows, their shows
00:22:48 --> 00:22:53 are great, too. My heart had to kind of be in
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55 a certain place, number one, to make sure that
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57 I can bring everybody with me, because, yeah,
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59 she could have said she liked mine. She could
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01 have pitched me a collaboration with just mine.
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05 And if my heart wasn't right, my motive wasn't
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09 right, who I was representing myself as wasn't
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12 right. I could have took this deal for myself
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14 and just ran with it and been like nah, they'll
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17 be alright We know plenty of people who do it
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20 We know plenty of people who undermine and again
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24 that would go against the complete nature of
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26 What I wanted to build the viewpoints podcast
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30 network around making sure that smaller shows
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33 smaller market shows got an opportunity To be
00:23:33 --> 00:23:37 on platforms to help them grow right and to do
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41 it at a at a at a price point that's cost efficient.
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43 I wasn't trying to break nobody's back for them
00:23:43 --> 00:23:48 to have their show on something. You know what
00:23:48 --> 00:23:52 I mean? So depending on how your heart is structured
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55 and depending on how you allow God to change
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58 you will determine what kind of rooms you're
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00 going to. If God didn't change some of the things
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02 about me before I entered into this room I could
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05 have been really really selfish. Because I could
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07 have been like, well now this is my chance, this
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09 is my time, this is my moment. She only heard
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11 my show. She only gonna like my show. I'm not
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13 gonna tell about the other shows There's a lot
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16 of ways we can play stuff if we don't change.
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21 You know what I mean? So Don't be afraid to cold
00:24:21 --> 00:24:24 switch certain things certain opportunities that
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28 are for you Can come to you, but you're gonna
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31 have to change so certain places You just can't
00:24:31 --> 00:24:35 go in there like that. You can't go in that room
00:24:35 --> 00:24:40 like that right you ever I think I forgot what
00:24:40 --> 00:24:46 show, but there was a show where a kid, he's
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49 dressed kind of thuggish like a thug and he has
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52 to go into this banquet and someone stops him
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54 before he goes in there and he's like, man, what
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56 do you got on? He's like, man, what you talking
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58 about? This is me. This is my drip. I'm fly.
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01 And he was like, man, look in that room. He said,
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04 yeah, I see the room. He said, look at what you
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06 got on. Yeah, I see what I got on. He said, now
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08 look in that room. See he said me you can't go
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12 in that room like that Because you don't know
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14 what's in that room that you're gonna have to
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17 connect with that based upon how you present
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21 yourself will either turn you away or accept
00:25:21 --> 00:25:26 you and you don't know that them accepting you
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28 will bring about a great opportunity for you
00:25:28 --> 00:25:32 if Esau does not accept Jacob back into their
00:25:32 --> 00:25:39 land then the nations of Israel that Jacob is
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43 responsible for don't get to occupy that promised
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46 land that God had promised their grandfather.
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52 So you don't know that sometimes how you cold
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55 switch will determine who else gets to walk in
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58 the rooms with you. Like what opportunities do
00:25:58 --> 00:26:06 you provide other people? So be mindful that,
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08 A, certain spots, certain places, certain room
00:26:08 --> 00:26:12 I'm trying to go into, I can't go in. Those spots
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15 those spaces those rooms those promises those
00:26:15 --> 00:26:21 blessings Like that, I'm gonna have to cold switch
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23 I'm gonna have to change I'm gonna have to let
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25 God change me I'm gonna have to let God take
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29 me into his wardrobe closet or take me to his
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32 tailor and Find me a suit that's going to work
00:26:32 --> 00:26:37 for me in the room. I'm getting ready to go into
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41 alright, so If you like this episode, I need
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43 you to go ahead and tag two people. Like I said,
