It's a hundred percent false, But can you see that those who buy this lie of our enemy Will much more easily have the abundant life they were created to enjoy, stolen right out from under them.
00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:34.570
You are purpose-driven, entrepreneur with a calling that is not slowing down, and it's exhausting.

we know there's so much confusing information out there about how to heal your body and it can wear you out if you're thinking, I just wish somebody would walk me through the exact steps to finally feel good in a way that's exciting to me and enjoyable, so it actually lasts.

you can learn more about it at power on plants.com/accelerator.
00:02:48.442 --> 00:02:48.741
now.
00:02:48.741 --> 00:02:59.901
Today I wanna share with you something I recently heard from a pulpit that's stirred me up and I knew it was extremely important that we share it with you, was I start up Jarrod.
00:02:59.917 --> 00:03:02.076
I think you were more triggered than stirred up.
00:03:02.586 --> 00:03:03.546
what's triggered.
00:03:03.877 --> 00:03:07.926
I might be still a little triggered, and we're gonna lay out exactly why in this episode.
00:03:08.137 --> 00:03:15.396
So I was on YouTube and this message from a pastor that streams internationally came on, think about the impact of that.
00:03:15.877 --> 00:03:21.546
His guest speaker was speaking and all of a sudden started describing compost and how it's made.
00:03:21.847 --> 00:03:24.727
Here's what he said, word for word quote.
00:03:25.176 --> 00:03:27.037
So how do you make organic soil?
00:03:27.276 --> 00:03:29.227
You take everything that's rotting in the kitchen.
00:03:29.227 --> 00:03:34.056
You throw it in all the slimy leftovers, the moldy leftovers.
00:03:34.266 --> 00:03:37.806
That's stuff that you open the container and it makes you gag.
00:03:38.227 --> 00:03:52.627
You take all that stuff along with the grass clippings and the dead leaves all the garbage, and you put it in a compost tea, which fun fact, That's the exact same recipe for making organic, gluten-free, dairy-free brownies.
00:03:52.717 --> 00:03:54.247
It's basically compost.
00:03:54.667 --> 00:03:55.907
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.
00:03:56.106 --> 00:03:58.056
and the audience erupted into laughter.
00:03:58.056 --> 00:03:59.407
Thought that was hilarious.
00:03:59.673 --> 00:04:09.092
And while this may seem haha funny on the surface, it's time for us as entrepreneurs who have a Kingdom mission to open our eyes to what's really going on around us.
00:04:09.453 --> 00:04:25.372
We need to be in God's word and continue to pray for daily wisdom because many of the things that are being said are not only faults, but they can be extremely damaging to our health and to our God-given mission if we believe them and even laugh at them.
00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:33.081
Now, of course, what we're talking about today is not just about brownies specifically, although it's clear this pastor has not tried ours.
00:04:33.411 --> 00:04:37.610
The truth is the power on plants brownies rival any recipe out there?
00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:37.821
Am I lying?
00:04:37.821 --> 00:04:37.940
Jarrod?
00:04:38.696 --> 00:04:39.096
Oh no.
00:04:39.096 --> 00:04:39.875
They're amazing.
00:04:39.935 --> 00:04:40.790
They're fantastic.
00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:43.011
And that's actually one of the things that I will tell my patients.
00:04:43.221 --> 00:04:57.742
Whenever I'm explaining about whole food plant-based and how there's no deprivation, I tell him we even have the most amazing recipe for brownies that are made with the ingredients they're made with, and you would never know because they're fudgy and chocolatey, and moist and delicious.
00:04:58.101 --> 00:04:58.581
Love'em.
00:04:58.581 --> 00:04:59.872
We need to get his address.
00:05:00.201 --> 00:05:05.062
Send him not just a recipe, but actually make some brownies and ship them to'em.
00:05:05.091 --> 00:05:05.512
Yes.
00:05:05.512 --> 00:05:08.031
Do not think, that thought has not crossed my mind.
00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:09.502
That's a great idea.
00:05:09.502 --> 00:05:14.031
And they're even organic, gluten-free and dairy-free.
00:05:14.211 --> 00:05:18.291
But I know a lot of people have been burned by nasty tasting recipes.
00:05:18.471 --> 00:05:29.375
I'm gonna get into that in a little bit, but what should stir us up most here is that there is a rampant damaging lie of our common enemy being spread here, and it's this.
00:05:29.946 --> 00:05:38.555
If it's healthy, it's going to taste like garbage, steal your joy and make life feel like it's not worth living.
00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:46.079
So if you wanna be healthy, you'll just have to willpower through what's nasty tasting to get there and to stay there and it's just not worth it.
00:05:46.339 --> 00:06:03.350
And we believe these kind of lies, and so we stay stuck in our health struggles for far too long, all the while losing the opportunities to bring God's kingdom to this earth through our mission because we just are not physically able to fully show up.
00:06:03.829 --> 00:06:15.769
And I'm here to tell you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the statement that led you to believe if it's healthy, it's gonna taste like garbage, steal your joy and make you feel like life's not worth living.
00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:27.615
It's a hundred percent false, But can you see that those who buy this lie of our enemy Will much more easily have the abundant life they were created to enjoy, stolen right out from under them.
00:06:28.230 --> 00:06:28.550
Absolutely.
00:06:28.745 --> 00:06:35.853
And that's one of our big whys for why we do what we do week after week because God's people should be the most health.
00:06:37.142 --> 00:06:42.783
See vibrant people in the face of this planet, and that's just not what we see when we walk into churches.
00:06:42.783 --> 00:06:50.781
When we see church services online, we see that the people inside the church physically look no different than people outside the church.
00:06:50.855 --> 00:06:54.665
I was gonna say the exact same thing because can think about this.
00:06:54.665 --> 00:06:59.646
Can you see how Satan is using whatever means is made available to him?
00:06:59.975 --> 00:07:01.565
And I mean, made available to him.
00:07:01.565 --> 00:07:05.375
If we don't make ourselves available to spread lies, they will not be spread through us.
00:07:05.442 --> 00:07:07.992
So we need to be grounded in wisdom.
00:07:08.411 --> 00:07:15.942
but can you see how he's using whatever avenues are made available to him to keep the body of Christ sick?
00:07:16.362 --> 00:07:17.442
And ineffective.
00:07:17.651 --> 00:07:24.252
And like Jarrod said, it's not difficult to see how well his tactics are currently working even inside the church.
00:07:24.461 --> 00:07:35.766
as we look around and notice how physically unhealthy the church is, how many are currently sick in life altering mission, stealing health struggles, this stirs us up.
00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:44.079
It's what keeps us showing up day after day, helping our brothers and sisters in Christ to escape the lies and replace them with truth.
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:49.209
And that second part is just as important as escaping the lies, replacing them with truth.
00:07:49.471 --> 00:07:54.536
That's the formula for being able to fully show up and completely live your calling.
00:07:54.610 --> 00:08:01.923
But sadly, this isn't the first time we've heard the same damaging lie, but every time we hear it, I always hope and pray it's the last.
00:08:02.406 --> 00:08:14.230
I think each time we hear it, it builds on that I don't know if angst is the right word, but that that burden in our spirit of we've got to dispel these lies each time we get more.
00:08:14.516 --> 00:08:15.605
Or more maybe trigger.
00:08:15.605 --> 00:08:19.386
Maybe trigger is a better word, and we hear it a fair amount.
00:08:19.475 --> 00:08:26.795
I mean, from people that are leaders in their churches, and some of these churches are bigger and even are on TV internationally or YouTube internationally.
00:08:27.096 --> 00:08:31.800
And like Anita said, you can see where that lag is propagated widely very quickly.
00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:43.388
So as you're listening, I want you to think, do you agree that there's something wrong when those inside the church have the same type and the same amount of health struggles as the rest of the world?
00:08:43.504 --> 00:08:52.571
Now we could say it's just spiritual because many really don't understand the biblical truth about miracles and healing and how they apply to our lives.
00:08:52.571 --> 00:08:53.921
Yes, even today.
00:08:53.969 --> 00:09:05.519
Absolutely that plays a part in it, and that's the exact reason we share the truth about healing inside Accelerator and how God has always been and is still in the business of healing even today.
00:09:05.615 --> 00:09:16.494
But if we notice, let's call it a fruit around us, such as a disease process, let's say that disease is miraculously healed unless the root of that fruit is dealt with.
00:09:16.859 --> 00:09:18.989
What do you think will happen
00:09:19.152 --> 00:09:20.322
It will come right back.
00:09:20.741 --> 00:09:31.171
exactly We've heard people say, oh, please pray for me my diabetes, and we can see that miraculously healed and do, but if the same conditions are there.
00:09:31.926 --> 00:09:32.946
Will it happen again?
00:09:33.155 --> 00:09:47.942
So let's say you do eat an animal-based diet and you pour grease down your sink down the drain and it gets clogged up over time and it will now you pray for a miracle, you call the plumber, they come and they remove the drains, and now the drains are clear
00:09:48.082 --> 00:09:49.248
So they wrote over to them
00:09:49.263 --> 00:09:50.493
They rotor him.
00:09:50.493 --> 00:09:52.503
They did everything they needed to do, which
00:09:52.548 --> 00:10:00.933
is exactly what happens on the OR table, and we've been told and believe the lie that eating this way is extreme.
00:10:00.994 --> 00:10:02.163
This is not extreme.
00:10:02.163 --> 00:10:09.303
This is enjoyable and delicious and simple when you know the steps, it is not difficult, it's just different from what you're used to.
00:10:09.573 --> 00:10:15.928
What is extreme is having your chest cracked open, having to recover from that, and all the years you had to live with it before.
00:10:16.178 --> 00:10:22.298
Four, you had it Roto-Rooter, and then the dangers of surgery and then the recovery afterwards.
00:10:22.298 --> 00:10:24.339
And then what is gonna happen.
00:10:24.543 --> 00:10:26.072
And I think this is what Jarrod is getting at.
00:10:26.072 --> 00:10:31.533
Like once you're either miraculously healed or you're on a or table or with the sink, like what's gonna
00:10:31.692 --> 00:10:38.219
So if you put brand new drain pipes back in there, but you still keep pouring that grease down the drain, what's gonna happen?
00:10:38.342 --> 00:10:39.633
It will clog up again.
00:10:40.293 --> 00:10:44.412
I've used the analogy if somebody breaks their leg and they, they get healed miraculously.
00:10:45.874 --> 00:10:50.014
one of the elders of the church prays for him, lays hands, and that broken bone is now healed.
00:10:50.119 --> 00:10:56.479
Is that person now impervious to any future bone breaks ever again in their lifetime?
00:10:56.647 --> 00:10:58.986
If the conditions were right for that type of injury.
00:10:59.136 --> 00:11:09.389
So in what we're saying here is if someone is engaged in eating a standard American diet and that leads to diabetes or high blood pressure, should they get miraculously healed?
00:11:09.389 --> 00:11:16.347
If they're not changing the conditions that can cause that type of diagnosis, it's going to come right back.
00:11:16.644 --> 00:11:19.970
So what we know is that the fruit of disease can.
00:11:20.330 --> 00:11:26.059
Have various roots, but all the reliable research cannot be denied.
00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:37.059
one of the most common roots of the top chronic, and I say that in quotes, diseases of our time that are rampant in our society today is what is on our plate.
00:11:37.450 --> 00:11:39.220
This is one of the most common roots.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.019
It's the food.
00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:41.889
Say it with me.
00:11:42.264 --> 00:11:44.184
It's the food.
00:11:44.514 --> 00:11:46.794
Now, sickness can have spiritual roots.
00:11:46.794 --> 00:11:47.784
We're not denying that.
00:11:47.956 --> 00:11:58.187
but what makes us so sad is that many have been taught that there is something wrong within them, something from your past that you haven't dealt with or led to believe.
00:11:58.187 --> 00:11:58.517
Things like.
00:11:58.827 --> 00:12:02.967
Oh, I just have a personal willpower problem and it keeps causing my health struggles.
00:12:03.298 --> 00:12:06.087
And so you keep trying to fix yourself.
00:12:06.118 --> 00:12:06.868
All the while.
00:12:06.868 --> 00:12:16.798
No one has told you that there's a very big possibility that the root cause of your health struggles is the food you are eating.
00:12:17.067 --> 00:12:18.238
It's the food.
00:12:18.238 --> 00:12:20.067
We see it time and again.
00:12:20.067 --> 00:12:20.518
Yes.
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.759
Even the clean ones.
00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:24.995
I'm not just talking about processed foods here.
00:12:24.995 --> 00:12:30.155
Listen, Jarrod and I were eating clean when we were our sickest and very overweight.
00:12:30.395 --> 00:12:34.145
I know Jarrod hates it, but I have the photos and I have the videos
00:12:34.431 --> 00:12:38.931
well before with photos, now she's found a video and it's like, oh my Lord.
00:12:39.051 --> 00:12:40.701
Please don't show those.
00:12:40.701 --> 00:12:45.278
I understand they were our story beforehand, but just rather not be reminded, but All right, go ahead.
00:12:45.278 --> 00:12:45.759
As you were.
00:12:47.528 --> 00:12:49.726
I I know you hate it, but it's important to remember it.
00:12:49.726 --> 00:12:53.206
It's important to share it because we've been where you are.
00:12:53.403 --> 00:12:59.764
And eating clean, free range, organic cage-free, no hormones added.
00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:02.301
Nevermind that all the hormones were already in there.
00:13:02.301 --> 00:13:08.270
And eating clean this way was keeping us from doing so many of the things we wanted to do in life.
00:13:08.357 --> 00:13:15.888
What if the answer to all your health struggles could simply be what's on your plate and what's not there?
00:13:16.572 --> 00:13:17.621
Just think it through.
00:13:18.176 --> 00:13:30.374
When you have this epiphany, this big discovery of truth about the food being behind the most common quote, chronic diseases of our time, you are then led to believe, sadly at times, even from the pulpit.
00:13:30.374 --> 00:13:35.147
That healthy food could help you, but it's gonna taste like garbage.
00:13:36.484 --> 00:13:37.774
Do you see the problem here?
00:13:37.875 --> 00:13:57.408
Can you see how this is a big setup from Satan to sabotage you and keep you stuck in your health struggles stuck And unable to fulfill your God-given calling completely discouraged and feeling like I know what I need to do, but are all the miserable methods really worth it?
00:13:57.481 --> 00:14:01.682
I mean, I wanna have some enjoyment in life and I enjoy having a nice meal with my family.
00:14:01.812 --> 00:14:02.861
Jarrod and I get it.
00:14:03.011 --> 00:14:08.022
And we're here to tell you it's possible to have the real joy in eating healthy every day.
00:14:08.216 --> 00:14:23.480
meals you genuinely love, that are actually loving your body back When you can escape the lie that getting healthy is going to taste like nasty garbage and make you want to gag Realize what a crock of hogwash that lie is.
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.551
That's when you'll be free to start reversing disease and skyrocketing your energy.
00:14:28.821 --> 00:14:32.721
10 xing your productivity and abundantly living your calling.
00:14:32.721 --> 00:14:38.356
You'll be fully available to scale your business and help your people in the area of your expertise.
00:14:38.537 --> 00:14:43.486
those who are waiting on you to fully show up with your body backing you a hundred percent.
00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:51.389
One interesting thing I just noticed is that all the people that we've heard, and I'm just thinking of the last few times, we've heard pastors just disparage on plant-based foods.
00:14:51.485 --> 00:14:55.596
None of them ever actually said, we know this is the better way for you to eat, but it tastes.
00:14:55.596 --> 00:14:56.436
Like garbage.
00:14:56.645 --> 00:14:59.375
We know this is healthy, but it's yucky.
00:14:59.446 --> 00:15:05.056
They don't even actually seem to acknowledge the fact that this is God's best, that this is the healthiest, best way to eat.
00:15:05.056 --> 00:15:09.405
It just seems to be more of a, it tastes nasty, it's garbage.
00:15:09.609 --> 00:15:13.298
And that saddens me because like I said, this is God's best that he gave us.
00:15:13.298 --> 00:15:16.899
This was his original, what he gave us in the garden,
00:15:17.163 --> 00:15:19.293
I've even heard it called rabbit food from the pulpit.
00:15:19.408 --> 00:15:20.818
Maybe rabbits are kind of smart.
00:15:21.389 --> 00:15:22.288
Maybe they're healthy.
00:15:23.048 --> 00:15:26.317
You know what, other food it is, it's also strong food.
00:15:26.437 --> 00:15:30.248
It's also energizing food'cause it's gorilla food.
00:15:30.350 --> 00:15:31.755
It's cow food.
00:15:31.985 --> 00:15:34.355
What do you think your beef seeding, where does it get its protein?
00:15:34.871 --> 00:15:38.022
Look at the rhino, look at the hippopotamus, elephants.
00:15:38.231 --> 00:15:41.591
These are all very large, extremely strong animals.
00:15:41.626 --> 00:15:44.506
I would not want to get into a cage fight with any of them.
00:15:44.650 --> 00:15:48.591
So clearly there is not a protein problem with these animals and with the fuel that they eat.
00:15:49.222 --> 00:15:55.595
What if the answer to all of your health struggles could simply be what's on your plate and what's not there?
00:15:56.597 --> 00:16:11.825

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:13.139

But you're having to push yourself to show up every day and you're discouraged cause you're not energized to do all the things that you want to do.
00:16:35.969 --> 00:16:41.288
You find yourself discouraged, feeling like I know what I need to do, but are all the miserable ways really worth it?

We wanna clear this up once and for all.
00:17:26.729 --> 00:17:30.209
If you've tried healthy whole plant food And it tasted like garbage.
00:17:30.267 --> 00:17:33.140
You tried the wrong recipe or the wrong food formula.
00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:33.920
I'm not kidding you.
00:17:34.031 --> 00:17:43.241
if it took too long and it was difficult to make, had tons of ingredients or it tasted so bad that when someone made this comment, you laughed because you believe it too.
00:17:43.481 --> 00:17:48.132
You've swallowed one of the biggest lies of our common enemy that is keeping you stuck.
00:17:48.271 --> 00:17:52.771
we know beyond the shadow of a doubt what most are eating today.
00:17:52.771 --> 00:18:00.092

00:18:15.029 --> 00:18:23.102
Healthy whole plant food can be just as enjoyable and in many cases, even more enjoyable than my old favorites.
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.279
Say that out loud with me.
00:18:25.730 --> 00:18:34.759
Healthy whole plant food can be just as enjoyable, and in many cases, even more enjoyable than my old favorites.
00:18:35.269 --> 00:18:40.400
We literally help people every day to escape the nasty tasting health foods.
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:40.910
Why?
00:18:41.017 --> 00:18:56.047
Because we know from personal experience just how important it is to be able to sit around the table at business meetings, and even with those you love and have the meals that not only taste great, but also set you up for a life completely lived.
00:18:56.346 --> 00:19:06.396
It's time we stand together as believers in Christ and tell the enemy no more saying, I will not keep swallowing your lies about health.
00:19:06.666 --> 00:19:09.396
The ones that keep setting me up for a life cut short.
00:19:09.731 --> 00:19:11.561
I'm done living on the sidelines.
00:19:11.561 --> 00:19:18.642
My opportunities will not be stolen from me and I will complete my mission that I've been placed here to accomplish.
00:19:18.942 --> 00:19:25.038

My people are waiting for me to show up With the body that backs me so I can help every single one.
00:19:32.133 --> 00:19:42.093
The Bible says that our enemy's plan is to kill you, to steal your life, and to destroy your ability to live it to the fullest for the glory of our creator.
00:19:42.161 --> 00:19:51.280
