Faith Revealed
with Josh Reeves

Relevant faith isn’t invented; it is revealed. It is faith that has always been there whether you believe it or not. The question is: In an ocean of uncertainty, am I willing to embody it?

[00:00:00] This is Josh Reeves and you're listening to the Mile Hi Church Podcast.

[00:00:04] Kudos to you for focusing on your spiritual growth.

[00:00:07] Speaking of spiritual growth, have you had your moment of awe today?

[00:00:11] Dr. Keltner wrote a great book called Awe and it's all about how awe can heal us, uplift

[00:00:17] us and keep us dialed in.

[00:00:18] He's going to be at Mile High Church on November 1st talking about it.

[00:00:22] You can join us in person.

[00:00:23] You can join us online.

[00:00:25] It's going to be fantastic.

[00:00:26] Check out milehighchurch.org.

[00:00:28] So we're continuing our adventure in faith today.

[00:00:33] Our theme this year is finding oneness in an ocean of uncertainty.

[00:00:39] And today's message is Faith Revealed.

[00:00:46] And on our Adventures in Faith landing page, there is materials that you can engage in to

[00:00:53] go deeper with us.

[00:00:54] And there's a worksheet this week called Faith Builders.

[00:00:57] And they're all about ways that we can reveal a greater experience of faith in our lives.

[00:01:04] For example, seeing the unseen.

[00:01:07] Can you think of a pleasant experience you had this week?

[00:01:11] Something that was meaningful for you?

[00:01:14] And consider what was unseen about it.

[00:01:17] It could be a sense of fondness or connection that you had.

[00:01:21] An insight or a memory.

[00:01:23] Or just a feeling of being yourself.

[00:01:27] Recognizing that we exist in the visible, but that we exist in the invisible also is a key

[00:01:35] to revealing relevant faith in our lives.

[00:01:40] Second, speaking your voice.

[00:01:43] What John Hyatt called in the song that Tom just sang, your secret heart.

[00:01:49] Was there a time this week that you spoke up something that you may have been concerned

[00:01:55] would cause some trouble or some upset, but was your courageous voice and instead got you

[00:02:00] what it was that you were looking for?

[00:02:02] Led to some sort of transformation.

[00:02:05] Speaking our voice reveals relevant faith.

[00:02:10] Then there's the practice of listening to your life.

[00:02:13] Was there an experience this week where you stopped telling your life what it is or what

[00:02:17] you think it ought to be and just listened?

[00:02:19] Just listened to what it had to tell you about what it is and who you are.

[00:02:25] And then lastly, connecting with the God of and beyond your understanding.

[00:02:30] Because you know there's that God too, right?

[00:02:33] I want to know all about what the divine is to you.

[00:02:36] What you call it.

[00:02:38] How you experience it.

[00:02:40] How you worship it and connect with it.

[00:02:42] But just as much, I want to know about that divinity that is calling you into a greater

[00:02:48] level of your own becoming so that you can embrace a new level of being with God in your

[00:02:54] life.

[00:02:55] What is the God that is being called for to live the life of your becoming?

[00:03:04] All of these faith builders for me reveal what's at the heart of my message today.

[00:03:09] Faith can be concealed, but it can also be revealed.

[00:03:14] Faith can be concealed, but it can also be revealed.

[00:03:18] And what I mean to point out by that is that you may have a lot more faith than you give

[00:03:24] yourself credit for.

[00:03:26] Karen Miller, a Buddhist teacher, shares,

[00:03:30] Where do you find faith?

[00:03:32] You won't believe me, but you already have it.

[00:03:35] You have it when you surrender to a night's slumber and open your eyes to another day.

[00:03:40] You have it every time you exhale and in that half second before you automatically inhale

[00:03:44] again.

[00:03:45] You have it when you put on your shoes or when you don't and walk across the planet without

[00:03:50] falling off the face of it.

[00:03:52] Mine is not the faith of wishful thinking.

[00:03:54] It's faith with arms and legs, days and nights, eyes and ears.

[00:04:02] Faith in our tradition isn't just a statement about belief.

[00:04:06] It's a principle.

[00:04:08] It's a principle that works in whatever we put into it.

[00:04:12] And you can't not use it.

[00:04:14] What happens is too many of us get caught up in what Ernest Holmes termed the opposite

[00:04:19] use of faith, which is fear.

[00:04:24] However, too many of us invest the principle of faith into our fears.

[00:04:31] I believe that there's a power out there, but I believe that it's bizarre and it's out

[00:04:35] to get me.

[00:04:37] I believe that I can't really trust myself, my mind, my impulses, my mistakes tell me I'm

[00:04:45] not to be trusted.

[00:04:47] Life is inherently not so good.

[00:04:51] It's scary and troubling.

[00:04:54] The opposite of this thinking, of course, is the understanding that there is a higher power

[00:05:00] in my life that knows who I am, that knows who I am to be better than I do.

[00:05:07] And it's always there as divine guidance, as a divine good.

[00:05:12] That it may take some work, but I can learn to trust in myself again.

[00:05:17] I can trust my mind and my body to work for me and not against me.

[00:05:25] And I believe in this world that sometimes looks like a tangled up necklace of pearls,

[00:05:31] that there is an inherent good, that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends

[00:05:38] towards justice.

[00:05:41] The challenges in my life may seem many, but they lead towards blessings and victory.

[00:05:51] The first one of these I shared sounds a lot like paranoia.

[00:05:55] Paranoia, as I'll talk about, takes a lot of faith.

[00:06:00] The other we might call pro-noia.

[00:06:03] Paranoia teaches us that everything in the world is out to get us.

[00:06:06] Pro-noia believes that everything in the world is in our favor, working towards our good.

[00:06:12] Yet, it's the same faith that goes into either one of those that sets the creative medium

[00:06:19] into motion in our lives.

[00:06:25] One of the greatest ways, as we know, faith can be revealed is when we're in the midst of

[00:06:30] challenges.

[00:06:32] When we're in the midst of challenges.

[00:06:34] The stories we tell ourselves, the who we are that we embody when faced with difficulty,

[00:06:41] reveals our faith in incredible ways.

[00:06:44] It's baseball season.

[00:06:46] World Series is coming up.

[00:06:47] Any picks for the winner?

[00:06:50] Linda.

[00:06:50] Linda says Dodgers, which I think makes it the holy truth.

[00:06:53] It's hard to talk sports in our spiritual community because although we're an inclusive

[00:06:58] bunch when it comes to other faiths, when it comes to sports, we're like the worst fundamentalists

[00:07:02] in the world.

[00:07:08] See, someone's going to tell me to go to hell for being a Dodger fan, aren't they, Ron?

[00:07:12] Jesus, it comes.

[00:07:15] I do root for the Broncos, okay?

[00:07:17] Don't hold it against me.

[00:07:19] I think the greatest World Series of all time was probably the 2011 World Series.

[00:07:26] It's the Texas Rangers versus the St. Louis Cardinals.

[00:07:30] Texas Rangers had a great team that year and they got the closest I've ever seen a team

[00:07:37] come to winning the World Series and not winning it.

[00:07:41] Game six, ninth inning, two outs.

[00:07:46] The Cardinals down to their last strike.

[00:07:50] Tie the game.

[00:07:53] In the 11th inning, David Fries gets up and hits a home run, which gives the Cardinals the

[00:07:58] momentum to win game seven and the 2011 World Series.

[00:08:04] A friend of mine who was a good Cardinals fan was on Facebook.

[00:08:08] This proves that with hard work and effort, anything can be possible and even the underdogs

[00:08:14] can become champions.

[00:08:16] Absolutely true statement.

[00:08:18] However, I couldn't help but think about those poor stinking Rangers.

[00:08:22] What do they tell themselves?

[00:08:24] Better luck next time.

[00:08:26] It's the World Series.

[00:08:29] They had worked just as hard.

[00:08:31] They had put in just as much effort, but the game didn't go their way.

[00:08:35] And what happens with a relevant faith when the game doesn't go our way?

[00:08:39] We have to learn to tell ourselves the story we need to hear that helps us lead to our greater

[00:08:47] becoming.

[00:08:48] Because although something may not work out the way we want it to, it's our becoming and

[00:08:54] who we are that is the most important and vital thing.

[00:09:00] The heart of the champion says, I needed this loss.

[00:09:05] I needed this loss as an important part of the story of my own success.

[00:09:11] Do you have the courage to look at your life right now?

[00:09:16] To see that thing that didn't work out down to its last strike.

[00:09:19] That thing that didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.

[00:09:22] And to say, I choose to make this story of failure a part of my story of success.

[00:09:30] Success.

[00:09:30] This sometimes reveals all the faith that we need.

[00:09:35] I had an awful experience August 18th.

[00:09:37] It's Sunday morning, and I'm getting ready to go to church.

[00:09:41] Thank God.

[00:09:41] Michelle is speaking because my car is not where I parked it the night before.

[00:09:47] Oh, my car has been stolen.

[00:09:51] And here's one of the things about faith that I want us to grasp today is that, again,

[00:09:55] it's not so much a statement about our belief.

[00:09:57] It's a statement about our relationship with God.

[00:10:01] Our rapport with the divinity.

[00:10:05] And I've got some work to do on myself because I immediately went to, why God?

[00:10:10] Why?

[00:10:12] And it kind of disrespects God because, you know, if your good friend or someone you love

[00:10:17] had your car stolen to teach you a greater lesson, would you feel that they were a person

[00:10:22] of integrity?

[00:10:23] No.

[00:10:23] No.

[00:10:23] So why would we think of the divine in that way?

[00:10:27] My car was stolen.

[00:10:28] That's just what happened.

[00:10:31] And I had recently lost my dad.

[00:10:34] So in one way, it was good because it totally put it in perspective.

[00:10:36] It's just a stupid car.

[00:10:38] But on the other hand, it really challenged my relationship with Source.

[00:10:45] It really brought up these feelings for me of having things that I love taken away from

[00:10:50] me.

[00:10:51] It really brought up this feeling of a lack of stability that I might just fall off the earth

[00:10:58] while walking on it.

[00:11:00] And I remember it was a couple nights later.

[00:11:02] It was a Monday night and I couldn't sleep.

[00:11:06] My faith had gone that much into fear that I was worried something else might be taken from me.

[00:11:12] I got paranoid about someone breaking into the house.

[00:11:16] So I go and check all the locks for the third time, sit in my daughter's room for a little

[00:11:21] bit.

[00:11:21] And I'm convinced I'm just going to stay on watch for as long as it takes.

[00:11:27] And this exposes the futility of paranoia.

[00:11:32] And what for me was really becoming a sad arrogance.

[00:11:37] The sad arrogance being that I thought that I somehow had control over my life.

[00:11:42] That I somehow had control over just what was going to happen and just what it was going

[00:11:48] to be like.

[00:11:49] When the opportunity for me really in that moment was to surrender to a greater degree

[00:11:54] that I am not in control.

[00:11:56] And yet I am in relationship with something that I believe in that is invisible in its nature

[00:12:03] and yet profound in all of its expressions.

[00:12:06] This relationship with the sacred.

[00:12:09] This relationship with the divinity.

[00:12:11] And it was only when I can surrender and let go of my demurgeness of thinking that I am the

[00:12:19] God of my life to allowing a power for good greater than I am in that could begin that

[00:12:27] healing process and could see the stolen car for just what it was.

[00:12:31] Get a new one.

[00:12:32] Get over it.

[00:12:34] Move on.

[00:12:38] Faith can be concealed, but it can also be revealed.

[00:12:43] In the most magnificent ways.

[00:12:46] Martin Luther King Jr., the first protest that he was a part of was in Montgomery, Alabama

[00:12:52] when Rosa Parks refused to go to the back of the bus, the Montgomery bus boycott.

[00:12:58] He had gone there as a new minister to help and unbeknownst to him, they elected him the

[00:13:02] leader of the protest.

[00:13:05] Had never done anything like that before.

[00:13:07] And he got a lot of scrutiny.

[00:13:08] A lot of attention.

[00:13:10] And he's at home with his family.

[00:13:13] And a call comes in in the middle of the night.

[00:13:16] It's not a nice call.

[00:13:18] It's an evil person expressing hatred, racist rhetoric, death threats to King and his family.

[00:13:27] And there's no going to bed after getting a call like that for King.

[00:13:32] So he besets upon the kitchen and puts on the coffee and sits down at his kitchen table

[00:13:38] and puts his face in his hands, terrified, traumatized.

[00:13:47] So very afraid.

[00:13:49] So much so that the only thing he can do in that moment is pray.

[00:13:55] He shares,

[00:14:15] And just then King shares that he had the most mystical experience of his life.

[00:14:23] A realization, an epiphany of immense oneness with God.

[00:14:30] An experience of God that informed his heart that all was well no matter what.

[00:14:36] That all was leading towards good.

[00:14:39] And that no matter what happened, this presence would be with him no matter what.

[00:14:47] King shares,

[00:14:48] The outer situation remained the same, but God had given me inner calm.

[00:14:53] Three nights later, our home was bombed.

[00:14:56] Strangely enough, I accepted the word of the bombing calmly.

[00:15:00] My experience with God had given me a new strength and trust.

[00:15:04] I knew now that God is able to give us the interior resources to face the storms and problems of life.

[00:15:12] Faith can be concealed.

[00:15:13] We can hide it from ourselves in so many different ways.

[00:15:17] But just like that,

[00:15:20] Sometimes even entering through our own anxieties and fears,

[00:15:23] It can be revealed in a way that reminds us that if we have a soul,

[00:15:31] That we are one with something greater than we are.

[00:15:34] And if we work with it, it can work in our lives in incredible ways.

[00:15:39] Again, my message today is that you have more faith than you think.

[00:15:44] That faith is working and operating in your life all the time,

[00:15:49] And you have a say about what you put it into.

[00:15:52] Yet King's experience, and I'll put it this way,

[00:15:55] Is if you don't have faith in yourself,

[00:15:58] If you don't have faith in God,

[00:16:00] God has faith in you.

[00:16:03] That the faith of God is something real,

[00:16:06] Knows your highest,

[00:16:08] Knows your deepest truth,

[00:16:10] And believes wholeheartedly in your ability to embody

[00:16:14] And to make it manifest in your day-to-day life,

[00:16:18] Your relationships,

[00:16:19] Your work,

[00:16:20] And in the way you show up as a blessing to others in your world.

[00:16:25] Faith can be revealed through great challenges.

[00:16:30] A more enjoyable way I love to see faith revealed is in moments of awe.

[00:16:36] Beautiful moments of awe.

[00:16:41] When was the last moment of awe that you had?

[00:16:43] Anybody?

[00:16:45] Seeing the sunrise this morning,

[00:16:47] Looking at some mountain peaks,

[00:16:49] Beholding a beloved member of community and church,

[00:16:53] Just a moment of solitude that gave you a feeling that you weren't alone

[00:16:57] And could never truly be alone.

[00:17:00] These moments of awe happen for us,

[00:17:03] And for me,

[00:17:04] There are opportunities to say,

[00:17:05] Ah, I remember.

[00:17:07] I live not in my universe, but God's universe.

[00:17:10] Thank God.

[00:17:12] Ah, I remember.

[00:17:14] There's more to life than just what I'm painting the picture of it to be.

[00:17:18] There's something real and vibrant

[00:17:20] And alive and magical in this life.

[00:17:24] Ah, I remember.

[00:17:27] And when we can fill our life with these awe ramps,

[00:17:31] These things that give us a sense of awe,

[00:17:34] It helps us reveal the faith that was already there.

[00:17:38] So much so that Joseph Campbell once said that awe moves us forward.

[00:17:43] It's awe that helps us move forward in our spiritual lives.

[00:17:46] And as you know, because we've been selling him non-stop,

[00:17:49] We have a guy named Dacher Keltner coming to Mile High on November 1st.

[00:17:53] And he's here to talk to us about awe.

[00:17:56] And the reason I want Dacher here is it's so wonderful

[00:18:00] When science catches up to our spirituality.

[00:18:03] And we have these amazing people who focus on the data and the science,

[00:18:08] And they come up with these simple and profound truths.

[00:18:11] Keltner coming up with this one about awe,

[00:18:13] That it's a key to mental health,

[00:18:16] That it's a key to physical health,

[00:18:19] That it's a key to improving our relationships,

[00:18:21] That it's a key to overcoming grief and despair,

[00:18:24] That it's a key to embracing perspective.

[00:18:27] All these things that lead to a great life

[00:18:31] Can be inspired by simply putting ourselves in a position

[00:18:35] To experience awe.

[00:18:38] Keltner shares,

[00:18:39] What is an experience of awe that you've had

[00:18:42] When you encountered a vast mystery

[00:18:44] That transcends your understanding of the world?

[00:18:48] We have studied how we feel awe near great trees

[00:18:51] And in looking out at panoramic views,

[00:18:53] At sporting events, punk rock shows,

[00:18:55] And in the flowing effervescence of dance,

[00:18:58] In mystical experiences,

[00:19:00] In prayer, meditation, yoga,

[00:19:01] And during psychedelic trips,

[00:19:03] You can tell me about those after service,

[00:19:05] In peak experiences with music,

[00:19:07] Visual art, poetry, fiction, and drama.

[00:19:12] What a wonderful way to center your life,

[00:19:15] Your day-to-day life,

[00:19:16] On awe experiences,

[00:19:18] Than just on the to-do list.

[00:19:20] Because when we give ourselves those experiences of awe,

[00:19:23] They reveal the faith that's already there.

[00:19:26] But again,

[00:19:27] Our heads may have concealed it,

[00:19:29] But our hearts seek to reveal that faith

[00:19:32] In all that we do.

[00:19:36] Keltner has many interviews in the book.

[00:19:39] One of my favorites happens with a professional midwife,

[00:19:42] An author named Nancy Bedarki,

[00:19:43] And I love this sharing she has

[00:19:46] About finding awe in her work

[00:19:48] Of bringing children into this world

[00:19:51] Through their mothers.

[00:19:53] The birth,

[00:19:54] You see the head crown,

[00:19:55] And then the eyes and face slowly appear.

[00:19:59] Wow!

[00:20:00] Each time I don't believe

[00:20:01] That the baby will come out,

[00:20:03] And each time it does,

[00:20:05] It is a miracle.

[00:20:06] It is a privilege to witness life become.

[00:20:09] My work is like a child.

[00:20:11] It didn't belong to me,

[00:20:12] It came through me.

[00:20:14] Birth and death are metaphors for everything.

[00:20:17] Breathe in,

[00:20:18] I am here.

[00:20:19] Breathe out,

[00:20:20] I expire.

[00:20:22] Wonder.

[00:20:23] What does it mean to live your life

[00:20:25] With a greater sense of wonder?

[00:20:27] Remember,

[00:20:28] Because when you commit to that,

[00:20:30] The faith needed to live your best life

[00:20:32] Reveals itself.

[00:20:33] It's already there.

[00:20:36] One final way this morning

[00:20:38] To talk about faith revealing itself,

[00:20:41] Going back to the symbol of our week,

[00:20:43] Of the anchor.

[00:20:45] Of getting back to our center.

[00:20:48] So many of our faiths get concealed,

[00:20:50] Because we center ourselves in something that isn't the interior core of who we are.

[00:20:58] And we lose that center.

[00:21:01] We anchor ourselves in the wrong things.

[00:21:04] Something as simple as our favorite sports team,

[00:21:06] Going back to sports.

[00:21:08] Right?

[00:21:08] It's Wednesday,

[00:21:09] I feel kind of crappy,

[00:21:10] And I'm being kind of a jerk.

[00:21:11] Could it really be because the Broncos lost?

[00:21:13] Yes.

[00:21:14] We get that false investment in something.

[00:21:19] So I can lose my center in that.

[00:21:21] Anyone else here ever give their anchor,

[00:21:24] Their center to the 24-7 news cycle?

[00:21:27] Right?

[00:21:28] It's election time.

[00:21:30] Time for me to commit to only 30 minutes of news today,

[00:21:33] So I don't get in the sense that it's deathmatch by thousand,

[00:21:37] And completely lose myself in the anxiety

[00:21:39] That these news organizations are trained and paid to create for us.

[00:21:45] To make us think that elections are sport,

[00:21:47] When really they're about preserving,

[00:21:51] Nurturing,

[00:21:51] And ensuring the highest and best good for our country.

[00:21:54] And we have to remember that by sometimes stepping out of the drama,

[00:21:58] To get back to the center within ourselves.

[00:22:03] Anyone else lose their center in what other people are thinking about them?

[00:22:07] You ever do that one?

[00:22:09] Oh my God,

[00:22:10] Did I upset so and so?

[00:22:11] I'm going to have a crappy day.

[00:22:14] I'm worried about what so and so thought when I said such and such.

[00:22:19] And I give my center away every time I do that.

[00:22:22] Lastly,

[00:22:24] In uncertainty.

[00:22:25] That part of me that has the faith of paranoia,

[00:22:29] That likes to live under the illusion that I have greater control than I do,

[00:22:34] Gets caught up in needing to understand uncertainty.

[00:22:38] When the truth is,

[00:22:39] Is when I get back to my own center,

[00:22:41] I realize I have everything I need to produce

[00:22:44] What the next uncertain moment needs

[00:22:47] To bring forth to step into a brighter and greater future.

[00:22:51] All we have to do,

[00:22:53] A simple technique,

[00:22:53] I'm going to invite you to do it with me as we close today,

[00:22:55] Is just to breathe in back to our center.

[00:23:01] Identify whatever it may be that you've given your center away to.

[00:23:05] It could be an argument with your spouse,

[00:23:09] A disappointment in someone you love,

[00:23:11] An uncertain outcome,

[00:23:13] To a circumstance.

[00:23:15] Just breathing back into center.

[00:23:18] We breathe in to center,

[00:23:20] And as we breathe out,

[00:23:22] We see that anchor coming more and more closer into who we are.

[00:23:28] Anchoring into our best qualities,

[00:23:30] We breathe in to our faith.

[00:23:33] We breathe in to our authentic vulnerability.

[00:23:37] We breathe in to our integrity.

[00:23:40] We breathe in to our optimism.

[00:23:43] And as we begin to breathe out,

[00:23:45] We can actually bless those things

[00:23:46] That we've unintentionally given our center away to.

[00:23:50] May the Broncos be divinely guided

[00:23:54] By an incredible intelligence.

[00:23:59] May my country produce

[00:24:02] And elect the highest and best possible leaders available

[00:24:06] To fulfill sacred duties

[00:24:09] Of running,

[00:24:11] Managing,

[00:24:13] And representing the American people.

[00:24:16] Can I breathe back in to bless someone who might be angry with me

[00:24:21] Or misunderstands me?

[00:24:22] And can I bring a certain faith

[00:24:26] Or even a wobbly faith

[00:24:29] Into an understanding of uncertainty.

[00:24:33] Realizing, however,

[00:24:34] That there is wisdom in the mystery.

[00:24:36] That there is wisdom in not knowing.

[00:24:39] That being willing to stand

[00:24:41] In center in an uncertain place

[00:24:44] Brings forth an intimate and incredible trust

[00:24:47] And connection with the divine

[00:24:50] That gives us all the insight

[00:24:52] And opportunity we need

[00:24:55] To co-create an incredible life together.

[00:24:58] That blesses not only ourselves

[00:25:00] But the ones we love today.

[00:25:03] So being in this center

[00:25:04] As we move into a closing prayer today

[00:25:06] I invite any of our

[00:25:07] Practitioner prayer partners to stand with me

[00:25:09] These incredible folks are available for prayer

[00:25:11] In front of the stage after service.

[00:25:15] How good it is to

[00:25:16] Return ourselves back

[00:25:19] To who we really are

[00:25:21] From anyone or anything

[00:25:23] Or any worry

[00:25:26] Any grievance

[00:25:27] We've given our spirit away to

[00:25:29] Let's just call it back

[00:25:31] Anchor it in the center

[00:25:33] Of who we are

[00:25:34] And what we begin to see

[00:25:35] Is those things that have felt missing

[00:25:37] That part of us that feels off

[00:25:39] It gets turned right back on

[00:25:41] What was missing

[00:25:42] Even though we couldn't articulate

[00:25:43] What it is

[00:25:44] We see it again

[00:25:45] It's a sense of unity

[00:25:47] And harmony

[00:25:48] And congruence with our lives

[00:25:51] It's the remembrance

[00:25:52] That yes

[00:25:52] This is the best day

[00:25:54] Possible for me to live

[00:25:55] Right here and right now

[00:25:57] And as we come back to center

[00:25:59] And we live from that place of center

[00:26:01] It creates that harmony

[00:26:03] That inspires

[00:26:04] That heals

[00:26:05] That reveals next steps

[00:26:07] That allows us to live at one

[00:26:10] With our source

[00:26:10] And allows our source

[00:26:11] In an even more intimate

[00:26:13] And deep way

[00:26:14] To inform us

[00:26:16] Of the wellspring

[00:26:17] Of faith and love

[00:26:19] That it is attached to

[00:26:20] We let it be

[00:26:21] We let it become

[00:26:22] And so it is

[00:26:24] Amen
