So that's where I go to get my
6:34
news.
6:35
Pastor Mike, you know, talking about 25 years, we're about ready to celebrate as Inspired Church, you know, the vision and legacy.
6:44
And, you know, all of us being a part of that at different spheres and years, you know, leading up to this point, you know, for Kapolei being the newest one, you've always reminded us that it's not about the buildings, right? As we continue to grow, as Inspire Church continues to grow, what are you praying never changes for us?

Because every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess.
19:48
Pastor Mike, I just want to continue on that a bit about vision, being saved in this church 17 years ago, and your heart.
20:01
Anything you've ever said that you were going to do, you have always fulfilled.
20:06
And when you have a vision like that and you make it come to flourish, it not only helps people believe and support and come behind, But having the knowledge of what you have in the years of experience of pastoring and also, you know, publicly and even some political, what do you feel God's heart is for Hawaii? And where would you think a vision of where you see the islands being for the next 15 to 25 years?
2:37
Mm
2:37
... out for ice cream.
2:39
And, uh, you talk about what had to happen with my dad being, uh, uh, the oldest of two brothers and, uh, coming from 13 kids.
2:48
Uh, there was a lot of sacrifice, a lot of commitment, and uh, man, I'm telling you, uh, the stories that I hear, when I really, really got into understanding the sacrifice that it took to get the opportunities that I've been given, that's really where my career started.
3:03
So I set out, uh, to go to college, uh, make my parents proud, provide for them, and lo and behold, I end up getting my high school girlfriend pregnant and, uh, we have a baby.
3:13
So again, another pivot point in life, but I start continuing to go to college, educating myself, working a lot of hours, and, and contributing to the individual that I was working for at the time.
3:24
And you know, it's one of those things that I learned early in my career.
