but

I absolutely loved it and then after about six months I said will you take me on as an apprentice carpenter so that was the start of my journey in construction took me on as an apprentice carpenter did my time there did probably a couple of years out of my time.

And then we just kind of jumped on the treadmill that everyone was doing at the time.

And it was meant to see the world, you know.

I went to South America, did four months down there, did a ski season in New Zealand, then went to Australia for a year.

And we just kind of made a few routes, kind of thought to ourselves, we'd do a second year.

And then kind of the arse fell out a bit over here.

you know, let go of what they're doing manually with their pen and paper as well, you know what I mean? So to be able to actually trust in something digitally as well, to actually do what they used to do on the phone or on a piece of paper and a pen, like it's very hard to change people's mindset, but I think it is like with that, you know, it's proof in the pudding, it's, you know, getting people involved, getting people working and proof of concept, like, so where did you just find the proof of concept? What actually got it taken for you? Is that actually?

Um, when you started this business, what was the original concept and how have you evolved it?

Yeah, we were super fortunate.

So our launch client in 2020 was Procter & Gamble.

They're huge, meaning, a- and they're also, according to Gartner, one of the premier ch- supply chains everybody wants to model.

So we started the company with a pretty battle-tested theory already, which was, uh, when we did a, a network analysis, so you think of any network, any supply chain network, you have all these facilities, and you hear the same things about, uh, supply chain practice, which is people, process, and technology, and all three need to be aligned.

Well, Procter & Gamble already had the technology, right? They had standardization.

They already had the exact same process across their network globally, and they had the same hiring practice.

[laughs]

It says, "The eruption of Krakatoa and subsequent phenomena, the report of the Krakatoa Committee of the Royal Society." So it had its own committee.

It did have its own committee, yes.

And, uh, we can see, um, how they were going to proceed by the letter here.

So this is, uh, George Simons, who's the chairman of the Krakatoa Committee, and he has this letter printed in the Times, and it goes on from there to many, many other newspapers, and it invites communications.

So what it's saying is, if you have observed anything interesting, and you can time it correctly, the Royal Society wants to know about it to incorporate those observations into its report.

And therefore, people started sending materials to the Royal Society.

The Royal Society began to collect newspaper cuttings and accounts that appeared in scientific journals, but also in newspapers.

So people saw the effects of the huge loss of life on the land, pumice floating on the sea, things in the sky.

Yeah.

So you can change So everybody say it out loud, Father God, I love you I love you I wanna be like you I wanna be like you I wanna be just like Jesus I wanna be just like Jesus I wanna have nothing to do with the devil I wanna have nothing to do with the devil He has nothing in me He has nothing in me He has nothing over me He has nothing over me I don't wanna be conformed to this ungodly world I don't wanna be conformed to this ungodly world Open my eyes Open my eyes And my heart And my heart And help me see And help me see What is pride What is pride What is of the enemy What is of the enemy What is humility What is humility And truth And truth What is of God What is of God Give me discernment Give me discernment An understanding heart An understanding heart And I'll be glad And I'll be glad To repent To repent To change To change To walk in the light To walk in the light Give glory to yourself Give glory to yourself In my life In my life In an increasing way In an increasing way In Jesus' name In Jesus' name Hallelujah.

Amen.

Hallelujah.

That's a powerful prayer.

it.

What are some of your early season goals? What are you guys looking to do here early?

Our biggest thing is we just want to see improvement every single week.

We stressed that to the team last year, and we really did see that throughout our team last season.

We want to come into the same kind of mindset going into this season.

We want to make sure we're getting one game better, one week better, one day better.

We felt like we took a nice step forward yesterday despite the monsoon rains that we had to deal with and being indoors for almost the entire time.

Again, trying to take one step forward today.

Do you feel like your leadership this year is where you want it, above where you thought it would be, or maybe not quite there yet?

Yeah.

Think like Him, talk like Him.

And when we're talking about humility, that's what we're talking about.

It is the essence and nature of Jesus.

He said, "Learn about me.

I'm meek." I'm lowly of heart.

The opposite of haughty, the opposite of, of self-focused and self-exaltation.

... and everything that you're doing, it is also tied into this.

That's what humility is, right? The ability to know change is needed and take the steps to do it and admit that I got some issues I got to deal with.

Yeah, it's how you grow.

You don't have growth any other way.

People sometimes get offended by, if you love me, you gotta love me the way I am.

You know, accept me the way I am.

We can accept you where you are today, but no, you shouldn't accept yourself the way you are.

Have you arrived at perfect Christ-likeness? Or do you need to change? Do you need to grow? Do you need to make changes? And one thing the Lord showed me years ago was the thing that would upset you the most, make you the most angry, is the same thing about yourself.

The tendency is to

It's been overlooked by a large part of the body of Christ.

Yeah.

Uh, we, like we said earlier, John, uh, the thing the Lord ministered to me as a boy showed me that Moses was the meekest man in his generation.

And he spoke to my heart immediately after seeing that, that Moses was the most used man of God in his generation.

Well, that's indisputable.

And Jesus was the most used man of all generations, and he said, "Come learn of me.

I am meek and lowly of heart." You don't want to just dismiss that and rush past that.

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

And it just kept, uh, getting worse and worse and worse until he murdered his own brother.

That's the Devil.

That's him in a picture.

He wants to sow a seed of discontent, of personal affront.

And see, the thing that happened with Cain is, um, uh, he didn't just make a, an innocent mistake on that offering.

Uh, 1 John says his works were evil and his brother's were righteous.

Mm.

And why are you

telling them that? Why are you trying to outshine what's going on? If you're honest with yourself, you're trying to impress them with you.

You are seeking your glory, not God's glory.

It's true.

You're not trying to help them.

I know...

Back, this has been decades ago.

Well, how do you stop it? Because I know what you're saying, and I heard Dad preach it, right? But for the people out there, if they're facing depression, anxiety, they have all these thoughts bombarding them, what would be step by step,

You know? And why are you telling

them that? Why are you trying to outshine what's going on? If you're honest with yourself, you're trying to impress them with you.

You are seeking your glory, not God's glory.

It's true.

You're not trying to help them.

I know...

Back, this has been decades ago, I was always a bit of a motorhead.

Well, how do you stop it? Because I know what you're saying, and I heard Dad preach it, right? But for the people out there, what's a, like, if they're facing depression, anxiety, they have all these thoughts bombarding them, what would be, like, step by step, what should they do?

I've

enjoyed it so much, John.

Like we mentioned last week, it was one of the very first revelations that God gave me as a boy, as a young man.

And like you're saying, the concept of what pride is and what humility is is not well understood, even amongst a lot of church-going people.

And that's by design.

The enemy does everything he can to hide this and to cover it and to twist it.

because it's much more than just trying to be a humble, good person, religious person.

That

And so I really felt like having you here to talk to the people about that so they can be aware because if you're not aware, how do you fix it? And so last week was great, and I know this week's going to be really good as well.

I've enjoyed it so much, John.

Like we mentioned last week, it was one of the very first revelations that God gave me.

as a boy, as a young man.

And like you're saying, the concept of what pride is and what humility is is not well understood, even amongst a lot of church-going people.

And that's by design.

The enemy does everything he can to hide this and to cover it and to twist it.

But when you practice this and you're speaking to him, your consciousness and awareness of him being with you and in you is

Mm-hmm.

That was my thing I was pondering.

And so I prayed a prayer.

I said, "Lord, reveal to me, show me, I, I don't wanna be taking any kind of credit for what you are doing.

Show me what is me and what is you, so that I don't get confused about it." And I just prayed that prayer, and I did not expect, uh, what, [chuckles] what happened next to happen.

But looking back now, how else would you know? I-- at that point, I was already in the ministry.

I was working there at, at, uh, Kenneth Hagin Ministries in Rhema, and I was ministering, teaching healing school in the morning and afternoon, and I was also involved in school.

Yeah, I might not have come back.

Mm-hmm.

That was my thing I was pondering.

And so I prayed a prayer.

I said, "Lord, reveal to me.

Show me.

I, I don't wanna be taking a- any kind of credit for what you are doing.

Show me what is me and what is you so that I don't get confused about it." And I just prayed that prayer, and I did not expect, uh, what, [laughs] what happened next to happen.

Yeah, I might not have come back.

Mm-hmm.

And when you get to the place where you're thinking...

Well, uh, let me give you this example.

Um, Brother Hagin again, he said he was at a conference many years ago, and there was a bunch of ministers gathered together, and a guy had just given an altar call.

And man, the altar filled up, and everybody was just in awe of what a response, and that had not been an isolated thing.

This minister was getting tremendous results in that area, evangelistic.

And, um, uh, somebody said, "Brother, I, I hadn't seen, you know, an altar call like that." He said the man leaned forward and took the guy's tie and said, "Yeah, I tell you, when I can't get 'em, they can't be got."

Yeah.

Grandma taught

me.

Exactly.

That's what I was going to say.

You'll hear them say, my this and my culture and my family and my church.

Yeah, but the thing is, some of these traditions are 500 years old.

But if it was wrong 500 years ago, it's still wrong.

Well, it changes.

Talking about yourself,

looking at all the great things.

Yeah, pushing yourself forward, trying to make it happen, trying to impress people.

And especially like you said, any type of manipulation involves falseness.

And God won't be involved in any kind of falseness.

He's not going to do anything that's going to take you away from him.

And so the more he adds to you, And the more people look at you or respect you or want to be like you or whatever, the enemy tries to use that to mess with you.

Yeah,

It affected my life, and so I thought that's why we need to bring it to the people because you really get to understand that it's, it's more encompassing than, than we think, you know?

It's of vital importance, and the enemy has been able to obscure and, and hide the significance of it.

And, and that shows you how important it is.

Um, talking about what you said, thank you for, uh, you and, and Kellie and, and the family for, uh, allowing Phyllis and I to be a part of the family, uh, because y'all have treated us, uh, like family, just like family.

Uh, back, I don't know, 20, 30 years ago, we were down here probably doing some TV with, with Brother Kenneth, and, um, afterwards he said, uh, 'cause we'd been having meals together and stuff, and he said...

Phyllis was with me, my wife, and he said to come down to the house, and he called you guys, and we're gonna take, uh, vaccinations, inoculations.

And, uh, I thought, "Eh, I don't know if I wanna take any, any inoculations." [laughs] You know? What are we talking about? But I respected him so much, I thought, "Well, I'm gonna go." And we got down to the house, and my apprehensions were for no reason because he opened the Word and started reading Psalm 91.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm

... has got flesh, and because, and, and everybody has to get their mind renewed.

The general, uh, spirit of the whole earth is the spirit of disobedience, and that is defiance and pride.

It's the nature of the devil.

The Bible calls sa- Satan the god of this world, and as such, he, he pushes his character.

He, he tries to infect as many human beings as he can with his own nature, which is pride.

And, um, the, the day you think, "Well, you know, I've conquered pride.

Yeah

Mm-hmm

... has got flesh.

And because...

And, and everybody has to get their mind renewed.

The general, uh, spirit of the whole earth is the spirit of disobedience.

And that is defiance and pride.

It's the nature of the devil.

Yes

Let's get

into this.

A scripture that I wanted to start with is Habakkuk and the second chapter.

And it's not necessarily one that you might immediately think if you're talking about pride.

But it's something that us faith people are very familiar with.

Habakkuk 2 and 4 says, Now, we're very familiar with the just shall live by faith.

That's quoted multiple times in the New Testament.

How can you go? I, I was reading, uh, exc- excuse me, I was, I was teaching on the passage in Matthew where it said, uh, "If you receive a prophet in the name of a, a prophet, you receive a prophet's reward." And in studying that, it, it looked to me like he's talking about, uh, the same reward.

Yeah.

I said, I said, "Well, Lord, I don't wanna, I don't wanna say that if that's not accurate." And the Lord asked me a question.

I don't mean heard a voice.

He said, "Keith, can you do what you're doing without your partners?" Wow.

Yep.
