Marriage after Divorce. is it better?

Hey, if you've been through a really hard divorce and now you feel like you're living a plan B life, and like things just aren't going to be as good as they could have been back in the day, this video is for you. Hey, welcome back to the channel. My name is Frank Ortega, and I help you get over your divorce in 90 days or less through my proven process, which is the Divorce Recovery Academy inside of the Conquerors community. But today, on this specific video, I want you to watch this video to the end when what I'm doing is I'm going to let you in on a call that I had about a month ago inside of my private coaching community where I hit on specifically how after a divorce, it feels like we're living a plan B life, which can actually suck a lot of the joy, a lot of the excitement out of life moving forward because there's always this belief of, well, maybe this would have been better if I wouldn't have gotten divorced. Well, maybe if my family was all together, this job promotion would have meant a little bit more. This dream career opportunity would have meant.

A little bit more.

Maybe the calling that God had for me in my life, especially if you're a Christian and you believe that and.

That'S your type of language, because that's.

Where I'm from, right? That's my background. Maybe this calling from God would actually be fulfilled had I not gone through what I went through. So what we're doing is we're really setting ourselves to live a plan B life and just kind of settling for second best and just kind of like, well, I guess this is what life has to offer now. And here's the thing. God doesn't want that for you. I don't want that for you. And the number one thing that controls that is your belief system. And so on this call that we're going to jump into here in just a second, we're going to attack your belief system. And if you're a Christian, we're going to attack it biblically as well. Because I know one of the. One of the hardest things as a Christian is to overcome the shame of divorce and feeling as if now you.

Are actually missing out because you did.

The thing that God hates. And, well, we're going to cover all of that inside of this coaching call. So stay through the whole thing and.

Get your pen and paper out so.

You can take some notes and apply some of these principles and allow this truth to enter your heart.

What we're going to talk about today Is not something that I just came up with. It's not something that God just kind of sparked in me. It's something that I've walked through. It's something that I lived. So let's cover the basics on this stuff, okay? The number one thing that we're going to cover is why we struggle with that and what we can do to change it. And that specifically, we're going to hit on some science of it, which is the belief system. Your beliefs determine your outcomes. I want you guys to write that down, okay? If you can put it in the chat. Put it in the chat. Your beliefs. Because it's actually scientifically proven that if you write something down as you hear it, you retain it better, okay? So your belief systems determine your outcomes. Okay? This is where. For the. For. For my brothers and sisters in the faith. Right. That are Christians right now, by the way. This will help Christians and non Christians. I've worked with Christians and non Christians. I've worked with atheists. I've worked with Muslims. I worked with anything that you could think of, right? Well, not anything that you could think of. I think I've worked with Buddhists, too, and maybe like some Hindu people that subscribe to that belief. So this, this. This works for everyone across the board. But I'm gonna bring Bible into it, right? Because that's what, that's what I believe. That's what I base things off of. So the Bible says that as a man thinketh and believeth in his heart, so he shall be. What's it say? As a man thinketh and believes in his heart. Belief, belief systems. God has been telling us since the Bible was written thousands of years ago that it is your belief system, what you believe matters. How do you create a belief in it is what you think about. Often, if you keep thinking that this is a plan B life, you will begin to believe that this is a plan B life. This is why, like, think about it, y'. All, let's be honest for a moment. The reason why some of us in this community right now feel so insecure, feel so worthless. It's because all you've been thinking about is how you're not good enough and why you weren't good enough. And you're focusing so much on everything that could go wrong that it's immobilizing us so we don't take action on the things that we could take action on. Therefore, we don't get the results that we know that we could get. And so it's not that we're not good enough. It's that we are literally keeping ourselves stuck because of the way that we think. So I would submit this to all of us today. Can we stop thinking what we think? And can we start thinking the way that God thinks? The Bible's so clear. It says that his thought, his ways are greater than or higher than our ways in his or I think is are greater than our ways and that his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. What does that mean? That means that there is a next level elevation in thinking that God operates off of. I don't know about you, but as the father of my daughter, I'm actually depositing my way of thinking into my daughter. That's my duty. I'm if once I have a son, guess what? I'm raising my replacement. So it is my duty to give him, get him to think the way that I think and greater than I think. God is the exact same way. He is your father. He is your daddy. He wants to get you to think the way that he thinks. Why? Because you are his son. You are his heir. You are his daughter. You were meant for great things. You weren't meant for normal living. You weren't meant to live a plan B life. So I don't want you to continue to experience a plan B life. So it all starts with our thinking. So that's what we're going to cover today. We're going to cover how do we change our belief and how do we do that? We do it by choosing to intentionally think different thoughts. So what thoughts do we need to begin to think? We need to begin to think thoughts that this is actually Plan A. Now I know that's difficult for so many of us. And here's the thing. I'm not a positive thinking kind of guy. I'm a factual thinking kind of guy. A lot of you guys have done the exercise. It's an incredibly powerful exercise to, to reframe your belief system, right? And I call it stacking the evidence. Because I'm all about evidence. I'm all about facts. So you guys know that I had to go out and find some hardcore facts and not facts that I think of. But if I'm saying that I'm going to live my life based off of what the Bible says, then I need some biblical facts. Especially with the amount of hate that there is towards Christians all over my DMs and all over the comments. Literally all over the comments. You guys see them on my post? Just dudes hating on people going through divorce that are trying to, like, rebuild a life. Like, well, you're not supposed to do this. Well, you're not supposed to do that. Well, you can't move on. Well, you can't get married again. Well, you can't. All this stuff, right? So much of that right now, and then the church is so scared to even touch on it because it's just going to raise this whirlwind of questions, right? But here's the thing, because conquerors. I'm willing to step in that gap if you're willing to step in that gap with me so that we can start changing the conversation around this pandemic, around this epidemic, around this horrible freaking virus that's taking over, not just in the world. My message for the church is, hey, if the. If your way of thinking of marriage is so great, then why are marriages in churches ending at the same rate as the world? I think it's time we got to start asking. Asking some hard questions and answering some hard questions. And here's the thing. I'm not going to leave that up to a pastor and put that on leadership. Most people would do that. I'm going to put that on me. I'm part of the church. I'm part of the body. If I want answers to some questions that other people aren't willing to dive into, I'm going to go get them. I'm going to go look for them. Right? So today is all about restructuring our belief system. All right, So I want to give you guys a story. Okay? I'm gonna start off with this very, very simple. Okay. Felt like this is the word that God had spoken to me, and it led me down an incredible path. And I want to speak it to you as well. And I want somebody to put it in the chat. This is the word. Remember, Ishmael came before Isaac. Someone put that in the chat for me. Remember, Ishmael came before Isaac. If you've never read the Bible, you're probably saying, what the heck does that mean? Let me break it down practically for us. Remember, plan B showed up before plan A. Plan B showed up before plan A. And this is Bible. This is Bible. Why is this so important? Because Isaac was the promise that Abraham had received. That's who Isaac was. Abraham is the father of the Christian faith. Right? I'm going to simplify this for everybody, okay? So you don't have to be a Bible scholar to understand this. Abraham was the father of the Christian faith. And God spoke to Abraham and said that you are going to have an insane amount of kids and descendants. He literally took them outside. Imagine God taking you outside saying, hey, look up at the stars, all that. That's all your kids. There's some dudes in here saying right now, hey, I receive that, Lord, because that means there's going to be a lot of baby making activity. And that's what I. Sign me up for that beside me. Just don't sign me up for the bills. Beside me up for the baby making process, right? If we're being honest, right? So God took Abraham outside and said, look at all this. Boom. This is what your descendants are going to be like. Okay? Now, what ended up happening was he had his wife Sarah, and Sarah had a maid, a servant, a slave, whatever it is that you want to call them, named Hagar. Sarah was old, couldn't have kids. They've been trying to have kids. They weren't able to have kids. And then next thing you know, she tells her husband, hey, maybe you should just do the nasty with my. With our slave, with our servant girl, with Hagar, and maybe I can give you a child through her, right? So she started manipulating the situation. She started trying to make happen what God had spoken. So let me tell you guys something, okay? If you feel like you're living a Plan B life, I want to submit this to you. Maybe, just maybe, the Plan B life came before your Plan A life. Maybe where you're headed in right now, the direction that you're headed to right now is Plan A. And maybe what you experienced was Plan B. How do we know? How do we know? We got to test this biblically now, right? So I'm going to give you guys one specific step that I see that Abraham and Sarah took to create a Plan B child. And then God later on blessed them with the original plan, with the Plan A child. Isaac, this is one step that we can take that will get us into a Plan B instead of into the Plan A. Number one, you listen to fear. You listen to fear. You listen to the fear of. I don't know if this is going to work out. You listen to the fear of. I don't know if I can. Right? Maybe you listen to this specific fear when it comes down to the marriage that you got into. There's almost every individual that I've spoken to that's come through this program, that's come through this community. I've talked to over, over like a thousand and five hundred individuals. I got the numbers right. I've had a lot of conversations on this topic. And this question is what I ask before you got married. Was there anything in you, inside of your gut? And is this is usually me asking the people that got left, was there anything in your gut that said, God, this is not the direction that I need to go. This is not the direction that you need to go. That I need to go. But did you also have a conversation in your head that sounded a little bit like this? Well, I've already invested a bunch of time. Well, nobody's perfect, so I guess I can just do my best to make it work. Well, I got pregnant, so I might as well just do whatever I can to do what's best for the kids. Even though I know beyond a shadow of doubt in my gut there's this thing that's telling me this is not the way that you need to go. Look at that. I already got people all up in the chat. Guess what happened? You made a fear based decision. You let fear sound off more than faith. So what'd you do? You let your situation determine you. You let your circumstance influence you. What do I mean by that? Right here In Genesis chapter 16, it says now, Sarah I, Abram's wife, had not been able to bear children for him, but she had an Egyptian serve servant named Hagar. So Sarah, I said to Abram, the Lord has prevented me from having children. In other words, she's saying my circumstances are literally telling me that I can't have kids. Right? She said, perhaps I can have children through her. Or she said, the Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her. And Abraham agreed with Sarah's proposal. Abraham was influenced by a fearful individual in this moment. Sarah, I was influenced by her circumstances. So right now, here's what I don't want us to do. I don't want us to repeat another plan B. I don't want you to go from plan B to plan C to plan D to plan E before you can finally get to plan A. And here's the thing. We serve a God so good. The Bible is so clear. It says that God will work all things out for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. He will work all things out for our good. We what does that mean for me and you? That means that we serve a God that will use plan B, that will use plan C, that will use plan D, that will use plan E, that will use plan F. He will use every direction that you go, every mistake that you make, every fearful decision and every fearful path that you embark on. Every way that you possibly could go to potentially ruin the call of God on your life and the legacy that he's called you to. We serve a God so good that even if you do all of that, there's still access to Plan A. There is still access to the Plan A life, the life that you've always wanted, the life that you were promised. What was Abraham promised? Descendants like the sky, man. Descendants like the sky. That came through Isaac. That came through Isaac. And if you guys know anything about history, Isaac is what started the whole all Christianity, all Jewish people, right? Israelites, everybody came out through Isaac. Ishmael, Islam. Who's always at war? Who's always at war? Christians in Islam, especially. If you look at the Middle east, who's at war right now? Who's at war? So do you think that your Plan B isn't going to try and oppose your Plan A? The reality of it is, is that there's going to be some battles that we need to walk through. It's called consequences. Grow up. You don't like them, make better decisions. That's a word from me. You don't like the consequences that you're in right now, then start being obedient and planting seeds of faith today and actions of faith today so that you will reap faith given results tomorrow. But if you keep taking action based off of fear the way that Abraham and Sarah did, then don't come crying to anybody when you keep experiencing plan B, Plan C, Plan D, Plan E. This is our duty and our call as Christians. This is our duty. Here's the thing. Even if you don't believe in God, you don't have to believe in God for Him to believe in you. And you don't have to believe in God to be part of his DNA. If I never met my daughter and she didn't know who I was, she would still have my DNA, which means that she would still show up to some degree the way that I show up. You still have access. Whether you believe in God or not, you still will sow and you will reap. This is how this works, right? So maybe you can identify that you are living right now a Plan B life because you've made decisions, decisions that have been based out of fear, not decisions that have been based out of faith. Okay? Now there's one step that I want to give you guys so that we can start really stepping and experiencing a plan A life. Not a secondhand life, a plan A life. This one step is very simple, but it will break every part of us and it will require every part of us. This one step, man. So simple, man. We need to walk with God regardless of what others think. We need to walk with God regardless of what others think. If God spoke a promise to you and your family thinks that you're delusional for believing it, get closer to God. Keep believing him. Regardless of what your family says, regardless of what your ex says, regardless of what the circumstances around you say, it's time for us to develop a real relationship with God. This is what started to turn my relationship around, y'. All. I'll never forget. I'll never forget just being transparent with you guys. I'll never forget dropping off this one specific girl that I had been hooking up with after the divorce had happened or after I was in the middle of separation. I knew what I was doing. I was just using her for sex. And I wasn't honest about it. I was manipulating her so that she would fall in love with me, so that she would keep giving it up. That's what I was doing. So I wasn't transparent about my intentions whatsoever. And I remember dropping her off and I remember calling my pastor, Pastor Dustin. I was weeping. I said, this is not who I want to be, man. This is not who I want to be. This is not the kind of man that I want to be known as. This is the same freaking bullcrap that more than likely inevitably got me to the place where I am today. I'm not going to keep doing the same thing. Do you think I wasn't scared to make that call? I was terrified to make that call. What are they going to think of me? What is he going to say to me? I'm sitting here talking to him about, I want to get my wife back, I want to get my wife back. I want to get my life back. I want to pursue the call on my life that God has given me. I want to eventually do ministry. I'm going to call him and tell him the nastiest things that I've been doing. It was a faith driven move. Everything in me said, don't make that call. Just like everything in you is telling you. Whenever I give you guys the option to call in, live here after this for Q A and you know you're struggling, you know you're dealing with something. Whenever I give the call to action, to post inside of this community so you can get some feedback and you know you're struggling, but instead you go and you just text someone privately on the outside, that's fear. That's fear. What are they going to think? What are they going to say? What if everyone judges me? What if nobody understands me? It's a fear based decision. That's what leads you to a plan. A walking close with God is the only thing, only thing that's going to get you to a plan a life. I'm telling you right now. You know why I made that call to my pastor? Because. Because even though I was walking in filth, I was actually also walking with God. Doesn't make sense, right? Why? Because what's the Bible say? Come to me as you are. While I was filthy, I came to him. And the simple fact that, that I was in relationship with him and I was doing those things created such a conviction in me that I said, I want to change. Not because God is telling me to change, not because he's forcing me to change, not because of any of those things. I said, I don't want this life anymore. I want something new, man. I want power, not pain. I want strength, not suffering. I want joy and peace, not doubt and worry. That's what I want. That's what I want. And so am I willing to do the things that are required of me to get to that place, to start experiencing a plan a life. So conquerors, if you want to experience a plan a life, walk with God. Regardless of what other people say. Regardless of what other people say. Let me give you guys another verse on this. Chapter 18 in Genesis, this is where there was a. There was a dude that came, started talking to Abraham, okay? And it was, it was actually the Lord. It's crazy that the Lord showed up to him like this back in the Old Testament. And so this is God, this is the Lord and Abraham speaking and having a conversation, right? I want you to imagine this with me for a moment. They're talking outside and God is telling him, hey man, I'm gonna give you some kids. I'm gonna do this for you, I'm gonna do that for you.

All of that, right?

And so then God says, where is Sarah, your wife? Oh, this is the visitors that had came. Where is Sarah, your wife? She's inside the tent. Abraham replied. Then one of them said, I would, I will return to you about this time next year and your wife Sarah will have a son. He prophesied over him. He said, hey, guess what? Plan A, Plan A is coming. That plan A life, that promise that God gave you, it's coming. You tried doing it your own way. And you guys can go read what happened to Ishmael. Dude got kicked out him and his mom, all that jazz. And so this dude's saying, hey, plan A is coming. Plan A is coming. It says, Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent. Abraham and Sarah were both very old by this time, and Sarah was long past the age of having children. How many women are listening right now? And your number one worry is, I'm running out of time. Sarah was there, so she laughed silently to herself and. And she said, could a worn out woman like me enjoy such pleasures? Especially when my master, my husband, is also so old? Then the Lord said to Abraham, hey, I love how God checks him. Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, can an old woman like me have a baby? Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year and Sarah will have a son. Sarah was afraid, and so she denied it, saying, I did not laugh. But the Lord said, no, you did laugh. How many of us here are lying to God, man? God, I didn't think that God, I don't have anything but good thoughts towards my ex God. I think that, you know, she is blessed and highly favored and I want her to thrive in life. And then God's like, no, you didn't. You're like, yes, I did. You got this back and forth, the game going with, with, with God. So I want you to notice what happened. Even though Sarah doubted, Abraham kept moving forward. You know what this shows me? This shows me that Aaron, that Abraham learned his lesson. Abraham learned, hey, if I listen to my circumstances, if I allow my wife to fill my head with fear, I'm going to make decisions that are going to lead not just to a plan B life now, but now to a plan C life, to a plan E son, to a plan F son, to all these different sons. And I'm never going to get to plan A if I keep listening to fear. So what do you do? He said, no, no, this is what I'm sticking to. Even though she doubted, Abraham stayed close to the Lord. He walked with the Lord. And he kept walking in faith and he kept believing. And what ends up happening? He got his plan A life. The only thing in between you and me experiencing our plan A life is linking arms with God and saying, come hell or high, I'm not gonna back away. If everything around me tells me that the word that you gave me, the promise that you promised me is never going to happen, I'm still going to believe you. I'm not going to negotiate with fear anymore. I'm not going to negotiate with doubt anymore. I'm not going to allow my thinking to just run rampant. I'm going to choose what I think. Because if I choose what I think, I will choose what I believe. As a man thinketh and believeth in his heart, so he shall be. And if I can get my belief around you, God, if I can get my belief around what you've spoken, if I can get my belief around what your word says then conquers, would it not make sense that he would become your redeemer? Would it not make sense that he would redeem every mistake you've made? As even if. Even if your religious friends say, well, that's stupid. You're trying to abuse grace. I'm not abusing grace. I'm listening. The word of God. That's what I'm doing. I'm stepping into the precious gift of Jesus because had it not been for Him, I would not have access to believe this. I would have to settle for second best. But because Jesus died on the cross for me, man, I get the opportunity to believe for something more, for something greater, for redemption, for restoration. I get to believe for a miracle, even when it doesn't make sense. You think, you think that Lazarus dying and being raised from the dead, you think that was plan B? You think it was plan B for Jesus to show a blade on the scene was plan A? That was plan A all along. Sometimes God will let things in your life die and make it seem so impossible that only he can bring it back to life so that he gets the glory. That's how he's going to capture your heart. Because some of us will not believe until we see the impossible happen. Will your life be a picture of possibility for other individuals? Will you allow whatever needs to die in your life to die so that God can make a miracle happen? And you can say, well, oh, look at what God did in my life. Look at what God restored in my life. Look at what God redeemed in my life. And then now, guess what? It floods over into your family, man. And now your mom, your dad, your cousins, your aunts and uncles, people all over social media that you don't even know are wondering, bro, how did that happen? How did that happen? Is that available for me? Is that available for me? Yes, it is. And it all happens through one individual. And his name is Jesus Christ. It's the number one thing you need, man. If you don't link arms with him, you will operate out of fear. You will not be strong enough to handle this on your own. Who do we think we are to Say that we've got the capacity to turn a plan B life into a plan A life without the power of the living God. Not only can we not do it, why would you want to do it alone? Why would you want to continue to do it out of your own strength? Something that, like, hurts me so much for people is this one statement. I'm trying to be strong. I'm trying to be strong. You know why that hurts me so much? Because it's telling me you're trying to do things out of your own strength. You're trying to do things out of your own strength. I'm trying to be strong. Why do you think they always say, I am so tired of being strong? Hurts me, man. The men, the men that I get messages from, they're struggling with suicidal thoughts. Why? Because they've been trying to be strong. Our bodies minister to us the love of a father. Let me give you a good example. When you get cut, all the blood rushes to that wound. Why? To protect you. To heal it, to seal it. To make sure that it is protected and restored. All the blood rushes to what? The wounded part? What does? The Bible says that he draws near to the brokenhearted. Let me tell you something, conquerors. I'm done. I'm done trying to be strong. And I'm loving the process of allowing myself to be broken, to be able to step into the presence of God and say, you know what? I am a broken man. I don't know what's best at times, man. I don't make the most faithful decisions at times. I am being crippled by fear right now by my external eternal circumstances, and I can't do this on my own. Will you speak to me? Will you be here with me? Will you whisper in my ear? Will you draw close? Will you do what the Bible says and draw close to the broken, the brokenhearted? A plan A will never be developed by your own strength. A lot of you know this. A lot of you know this. You had a great career, got a great career, making great money, probably got a great body, still feel broken. Got a great friend circle, still feel broken. It's because that only happens through Jesus Christ, man. Only happens through faith and operating that way. So I say all of this to say this. What if your plan B came before your plan A? And what if your plan A is about to arrive? What if you're in preparation season for plan A? And what if that preparation means I am going to stop listening to fear and I'm going to stop start operating out of faith? What if that is something for us to get excited about? What if you could get excited that. You know what, man? If I'm being fully transparent with myself, the only reason I got married was because this, this, and you know what's, like, scary. And any woman right now listening. I need. I'm gonna challenge you heavily right now. Stop lying, man. Stop. For the love of all that is holy, stop freaking lying. The amount of women on calls that tell me this specific thing that I'm about to share is terrifying. And it's exactly why you end up in horrific situations. Not because God wanted to put you through that. It's because you're a liar. That's why you went through it. Okay, now, I know that sounds harsh, but let me just share it with you, okay? So often I hear women say that whenever the man proposed, they didn't even love him. They didn't even see a future with him, but they just did it because they might have needed some security and support. And it was kind of like the easy way out. That didn't work. That didn't work. That didn't work. Look at what that got you. Let's not do that again. You know what? The easy way out was for Abraham to go sleep with a younger chick. So that's what he did as soon as the opportunity was presented to himself. Here's the easy way. Hey, go. Just go make a kid with her. You know what the difficult thing is? Hey, God, you spoke to that, and it's been hundreds of years, man. And I'm, like, needing Viagra to even make this thing happen. She is dried up. She's not gonna be able to give me a kid, but I'm gonna still go for it, and I'm still gonna believe you. That's the hard way. It's not the easy way. That's the hard way. That's the hard way. That's what led him to. To finally get plan A. To finally get plan A. Your plan A isn't behind you, Conqueror. I want you to know that. I want you to know that your plan A is ahead of you. You might have a plan B behind you. You might have a plan C behind you. You might have a plan D behind you. You might have all these different plans behind you, but plan A is ahead of you. Okay? And the only way that you're finally going to get to experience that is if you literally obsess about these kinds of conversations. If you obsess of listening to extraordinary content. Not saying that I'm extraordinary. Let me Say it like this way. To extraordinary truth. To real truth. To biblical truth, if you will. Entertain truth. This is why the Bible says to meditate on my word to day and night. Why does he say that? Because the more you in. What do I always say? Conquers what you entertain in your head, you experience in your body. As a man thinketh, so he believeth. Your beliefs determine your outcomes. There is one way to start changing your beliefs. First off, get in the word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing of the word of God. Second of all, get plugged into a strong, powerful community. Okay, I get it. I know churches are not the great places for divorcees. What do they always say, man, I'm just. I'm praying for you, man. I'm just praying for you.

That video was incredible, but I don't have a relationship with Jesus, and I want to have a relationship with Jesus, then what I want to do is I want you to pray this prayer alongside with me, and then I want you to shoot me a message on Instagram. You can just go to add Divorce Recovery Coach and shoot me a message that just says Jesus. That'll let me know that you gave your life to Jesus, and I would love to connect with you. Okay? So if you Want to make that decision, go ahead and pray this prayer after me. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the ability to be alive today. Thank you for your presence, Father. I recognize that I have fallen short. I recognize that I am a sinner. And I believe that you brought your son, Jesus Christ down to this earth and then you allowed him to die on the cross and brought him back to life. And so that I could stand in covenant relationship with you, so that I could do life with you, so that where I fall short, you can begin to cover that ground for me, so that I could experience your grace, your love and your mercy. I believe that Jesus died on that cross for my sins, so that I could be forgiven. And in this moment, I receive Jesus into my heart and I receive him as my Lord and my Savior. And Father, I ask you right now that you would fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can be guided by you, so that I can hear your voice and so that I can see the plans that you have for me. And I ask for all of these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ a men. Amen. And amen. Hey, Conqueror, if you made that prayer, message me, Jesus, I want to connect with you. And welcome to the family. And I'm telling you, life's never going to be the same again if you made that decision. Okay, you don't have to live a plan B life because remember, Ishmael came before Isaac. And so now that you're redeemed, step into your plan A life. Step into your plan A identity. Step into the plan A of who you've always wanted to be and the parent that your kids did deserve. Sound good, Conqueror?
