Stewarding Influence and Liberties

- How do you steward your influence? This is a valuable question for every Christian. If you’ve been called out of darkness into His marvelous light, that is your platform to display His goodness. You have influence, even if you’re not a public figure, and others are watching. The Perrys discuss what it looks like to steward your time, finances, resources and relationships too.

"He's like Lazarus"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm on the floooooorrr like that fly atp😂😂😂
"Dead to sin and alive in Christ"😂🪰
"The difficult part about being influential is that it requires you to be a servant, to be mindful" I felt this deep. All love from South Africa❤🇿🇦
The fact that I had to leave Spotify to come over here and watch this introduction of Preston killing this fly with Jackie's commentary!!😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️ I'll be back when it's live! I just love y'all!😂❤
Literally me!
😂😂
me too!!!! lol
Same 😂😂😂😂
Me rn!! 🤣
Fly lands on Preston and Jackie
Jackie:"Must be because we are dead to sin" 😂
Instant classic
I'm a recovering alcoholic and I fully understand,that I can't drink social and I never will be able too ..and I'm good with that.... I had my share.... My use if alcohol destroyed my life, I forever grateful to God for delivering me ...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@lisalankford1879 awesome! God is good!
Amen and amen!! Congrats! I pray my mom fully reaches that understanding about her condition & be content in that, while showing gratitude for being delivered fully from it (when the time comes- which will be soon!)🙏🏽
Amen 🙏🏾 I had to trick myself by drinking pretty waters. Water, lemon, lime, strawberries, & cherries. 😁
HALLELUJAH!!!!
I’m reading some of these comments and I’m like some of you would even challenge Jesus on His liberties. 😢
What is most profound to me when watching “30 Minutes with the Perry’s” is their ability to maintain an extended, entertaining, informative conversation with each other as husband and wife in civility and love.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
“A lot of our influence comes from our personal intimacy with the Lord” sheesh! So Good!!!!
Regarding drinking topic: My go-to reference/ anecdote as a new believer is going to be this- while drinking itself isn’t the sin, drunkenness is because of all the reasons Preston stated; then point them to what happened in the Bible 1st time someone got drunk that we heard about (if I remember correctly); when Noah got drunk & fell asleep naked in the yard, causing his son to sin by mocking his father’s nakedness & being exposed to him in such a condition. This caused a curse to be put on not only his son Japheth, but on Japheth’s entire lineage! Had Noah never been drunk, Japheth might have always shown nothing but utmost respect to his father & never been exposed to a curse that effects the human race still to this day- then I’d tell the person this- now, fast-forward to today & think about just 1 adult you’ve known closely enough growing up who suffered from drunkenness even once (or alcoholism), including maybe a parent or even yourself before Christ… now think of how respect was lost for them or for you when others saw them/you in that condition? Then think further on the number of people in that same lineage who was affected by that sin & who might have even continued that stronghold on the remaining lineage after theirs?
While the occasional weak drink may be harmless, Jesus said be sober-minded; this will require discipline in ALL areas, including drinking, smoking, fornication, idolatry, pride, etc. Because when you think of it, you can technically get “drunk” or “high” off ANY sin & lose your self-control thus your righteousness 🤷🏽♀️
Believe me, I’m not correcting to be the person that is being smarter, I just wanted to let you know it was Ham son Canaan that Noah cursed. It’s so much information in the Bible and it’s really easy to get names mixed up, I’ve done it many times. I just wanted to share with you in love because I want every one who loves Christ to share His word in love and truth. God bless us all for loving our Lord enough to share!
Jackie nails look so cute 🥰 she in her makeup and nails era and I love that for her!!
In the beginning of my walk with Christ, I felt a conviction about drinking and noticed the dependence I was developing on alcohol. I understand the destruction alcohol causes and how poisonous it is to the body and mind. It is important to consider what the need or desire to consume alcohol? I consider the importance of a sober-mind and heart posture of love whenever I consume anything, especially food and music. I thank God for nourishment and renewal.
“Move according to your knowledge, not according to assumption.” 🤯
This is so good and freeing for me.
It is so sweet to trust in Jesus. Just to take Him at His word.Just to rest upon His promise.Just to know thus saith the Lord.....Jesus Jesus how I trust Him.How I prove Him more and more.Jesus Jesus precious Jesus. Oh for grace to trust Him more.
"You don't have to change up because you're already changed." Hallelujah!
I love that she said that, this is what I've been striving for lately!
a BAR 🔥
I loved the part about Jackie speaking on stewarding her influence as a mom who is always on her phone. I don’t have kids of my own but I play a huge role in helping my sister raise my nephews, and have never thought about the influence I have on them always watching the tv, or being on my own phone 😭 I’m constantly trying to work on me, reading, learning, Bible study, ordering groceries etc. I literally do everything on my phone too! Definitely brought that to light for me, going to work on being more mindful of that influence.
It’s the fact that I just listened to the podcast and I’ve laughed entirely too much😂😂😂
Between Jackie’s DJ moments and the flies tormenting Preston I can’t take it! Edifying and hilarious🙌🏾
I LOVE THIS PODCAST🗣️🗣️
I’ll be back at 7 because I HAVE to see it too!!😂😂😂
C'mon Jackie, I love that song by William Murphy
Jackie is so gorgeous
!!!
This!
“Oh he’s like Lazarus“ 😂😂😂 jaaaaccckkkkkiiieeee
I literally was just talking to my Fiancé about how in this modern era, especially our men in the pulpit, they aren’t dressing modest. It’s very important that we should be leaders as MEN and not distract people too much with what we wear. In church and out of church.
I loved this episode. From the discussion about alcohol , to what influencers wear being a distraction and especially the insecurity about being on my phone as a mom 😅
This was great word 👏🏽. It challenged me ! For anybody struggling with the drinking context of the video . Read Romans 14:23 the second part says “ ….If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.”
Romans 14:23 NLT
Sin is sin . However outside of that God gives us all personal convictions. If you don’t follow YOUR PERSONAL convictions then that also is sin . I don’t drink because that is a personal conviction . We can’t press our personal convictions on others and condemn them !
I love how y’all brought up making sure we aren’t doing things because “fear” of man . Always check your motives . Trying to please man isn’t honoring God !
👏🙏
“Christian Liberties” is a new term for me. I love learning from you both. ❤
a minute in and Preston bringing out a blicky for a fly IM WEAK
Jesus Jesus, how I trust thee, how I’ve proved him o’er and o’er, Jesus Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for Grace to trust you more. Beautiful song ❤️🔥
The slick stress that Jackie encountered as Preston shot that fly! 😂
I love how you guys feed off each other, in a Godly manner 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Personally, I’d love a part two on this topic. 🙋🏾♀️
I find this so incredibly encouraging! Particularly in the parental influence space, I only ever heard my mother explode on men, disrespecting them in any argument until she essentially shouted them down both my father and stepfather… I say this because I did not know that I would inherently find my ex-husband to be my enemy in any given disagreement.
I was disrespectful and then he doubled down with abuse, it became a vicious cycle that Satan surely delighted in because we eventually divorced. I pray that one day I’ll have a male figure for my child to look up to and see me treating/treated with respect, even if that man is just a friend. I realize I may have missed the marriage boat but if I can I’ll make sure she knows how to have respectful disputes ♥️
This really helped me with my struggle about drinking alcohol or buying nice things for myself as a Christian taking this walk seriously. I would go back and forth on it bc I’m cautious I’m being too worldly. This gave me language and freedom to focus on stewardship and not put extra burdens on myself trying to meet an unwritten standard. Really good convo!
I'm just reading Ecclesiastes 5 and 6 related to possessions, wealth, food and drink.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-12 ESV
[10] He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. [11] When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? [12] Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him .
Ecc 6:7-9
[7] All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. [8] For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? [9] Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.
These 2 chapters seem to emphasize contentment and gratitude without using those words.
This is off topic, but one way I see the friendship and love between the Perrys is that Jackie will talk over, under and around Preston while he’s trying to get something out and he is NOT phased! 😂 She knows she is safe to do it without it being a problem (I assume). ❤
I clearly don’t love people enough yet. Lol!
I definitely feel like I misused my small audience. People knew I was a Christian, but I didn't behave the way I did around my siblings in the church or the way I acted during the work week. I saw my online platform as almost a separate, secret way to behave; a second life. I didn't want to crucify that part of myself for the sake of witness. The Lord's been speaking to me about it a lot, thinking about how to relaunch my online presence in a way that fears Him and honors the Gospel while still pouring into the people He's allowed me to have influence over.
This was hands down one of my favorites of yall!! Thank you for challenging me to keep growing up into Christ. Left this episode with the thought: Stewarding influence by exercising self-control over the christian liberties we have because we love God and we love our neighbor ❤️
Why does Jackie sound like she's narrating an African safari when Preston is trying to kill the fly? 😂😂😂😂 Priceless!
Excellent!! Love you both! Preston, thank you for loving your wife so well and expressing your love publicly so genuinely. Thank you all for having real conversations in Godliness! Such a blessing!
The DJ table would be a comedic game changer! LOVED Megan & Jackie's episode on Hardly Initiated partly for that reason.❤😂
That was such a good conversation you guys. I think many of us in the faith have forgotten mindfulness with one another. So thank you for the reminder
You betta Preach Minister Jackie! Showing people our repentance not just our victories! My Lord I needed to hear that today 🙌🏿
43:01 Question: I struggle with showing weakness to my team. The first question that popped into my head here was, 'how do you recover from crying in from of your team??' Then I quickly realized that was my first question because I've been in business circles and schools all my life and learned that showing ANY emotion would be used against me. Especially as a woman. So I guess my question is, how do you come back as a leader (as a woman!) after crying...I know this isn't ideal, but it often feels like the choice is being a stone cold shark, or be labeled "emotional."
Yall been saying “Akahol,” this whole episode! 😂😂 The insight was good though! Preciate yall!
LOL it’s just the way a lot of Black folks say it. My husband says it that way too 😂😂😂
someone in the comments requested part two and honestly i’m with em! can we get a part two!💗 this conversation is so based for the season im in right now and id love to hear more
“Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus”
Talk are such a blessing to the Body
'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Everything about the episode.
Again, it covers multitude faces of life; parenting, leadership, marriage, personal development, teaching... Love it.
And then the genre featuring good comedy😂😂😂.
(I said Mr and Mrs Perry and it sounded odd so I switched right away)
Thank you so much, Jackie and Preston Perry🎉🎉
God bless your heart of honour.
Welcome back!!! Thank you for always being you☺ Unfortunately, many people want you to stumble and will find something (your bag) to latch onto🙄. The two of you just bring such joy to my heart, Thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!!
I love listening to the Perry's always dropping pearls of wisdom 🙌🙌🙏
Everyone has different views on the drinking topic. Some struggle with limits, so for some it’s best to avoid alcohol all together.
This conversation is so needed and edifying to the Body of Christ. Because we sometimes may observe sthg that doesn't seem wrong but does strike you as off or puts you at dis-ease bit weer cannot put our finger on it. Especially the conversation around alcohol and displays of wealth while in an influential position
Your conversations are always so edifying, funny, and applicable. It's evident that being well-discipled has shaped the way you both approach the Word of God with truth and grace. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. You teach the Word in such a relatable and powerful way, and I especially appreciate how genuine and real you are while still speaking truth through the power of the Holy Spirit. How are two people this funny? You are loved in South Africa. Can we please have a tour here, God willing?
I love Jackie’s randomness 😂❤
I love how yall show that you can be Godly & still have humor & be goofy 🫶
Jesus Jesus how I trust you. How I prove Him o’er and o’er ( over and over)
You guys are amazing ❤❤❤ I love the chemistry and leadership you two both share to the world . Jesus is king
It’s the toes touching for me 🥺🤣❤️ love y’all, okay let me pay attention again
There you go Minister Jackie! That's it right there recognizing the need to bring back the actual and tangible posture for things like reading, banking, etc.
Our phone is a microwave for functionality yet it has destroyed healthy boundaries so we have to practically add back healthy boundaries and allow our children to see us read the actual Bible, and they know social media is not accessible from the tangible Bible.
Depending on their ages it may be possible to show them I'm using my phone or tablet to audible the Bible when needed but have your actual Bible out to read along with the audible.
“You can’t fix the problem by avoiding the problem.” Soooooo good. Having grown up with a functioning alcoholic, the drinking was always the elephant in the room. We learned avoidance and I leaned on it my entire life. Let’s just say… it doesn’t work.
Jackie I felt you when you made the comment about being on the phone, I need to work on that too sis! I don’t be on social media but they don’t know that they just see the phone in my hand
why is no one talking about the holding of the toes 😂😂😂 i love you guys ahaha
Nnnaaaaww, I talked about it 😅 they started around 15:11 and kept going..when I noticed, I was like “aaaww, now that’s cute, they’re playing footsie without realizing it!!!” 😅
Those are actually Jackie’s two feet. Preston is wearing socks. Lol
@@TheMatt1720LOL, ok good, because I literally was wondering did he take his one sock off just to play with her foot 🤦🏾♀️ that would’ve been such a very interesting and unique thing to do 😂
Right! 😂😂😂
It takes humility to take an accurate accounting of your attitude. Humility is not not being a person of influence. It is thinking no more or no less of yourself than what God created you to be.
Everything we do should be to glorify God. I personally don't drink anymore because I feel like theres no other goal anyone is trying reach other then feeling different in their flesh when partaking in alcohol and God's word simply tells us to be sober.
Awesome conversation. Love your channel. You guys are doing a great job. God is using you guys to challenge everyone.
I think about famous people in Christian spaces. They have so much influence. If they would walk upright before God they could lead so many to Jesus. Maybe they have in the past, but you can do a good thing and go away from God and all the things you've done can be undone. Influence is important even when your not famous since the majority of the time your life as a Christian is your testimony to those around you. Our childern weren't raised in Christ so my husband and I make sure we live holy so that they can see and be persuaded to live for Jesus.
Wow that note about being insecure about influencing children to be attached to their phone in the future. For this reason, I try to use my computer for banking, emails etc so it's "I'm working". I try to compartmentalize what I do on my phone to other devices like my computer to work, books for reading, tv for TH-cam etc
thanks Buckos❤
I love how Jackie says, “Flush that out.” Lol, it really does feel like we’re just in their living room while they have normal conversations with each other.
Question for the Mother and Deacon Board: What defines flex in the believers' life! It just doesn’t stop at the wine! Anything and everything can be bad / influence, clothes, idols, conversation misleading, impulses, etc.. Galatians 5:13-14 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
It’s so sweet to trust in Jesus
Jackie went on HI and now need a DJ table 😭😭 love it
I been watching y’all’s oldest videos and Jackie’s hair growth is so beautiful 😍
It definitely can be a stumbling block ( I agree with Preston) like at what has been said about the Pastors, and people of infuence with end cars and etc.
Someone needs to edit all of y’all’s introductions together 🤣
Right😂😂😂
So glad I found this channel.
Love how you affirm Jackie Preston!!! That fly scene with the commentary from Jackie was hilarious
When Jackie said …dead to sin and alive in Christ with the special effects.. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It reminded me of the cartoon Daria lol Saying something funny with a straight face lol
I really Love this two. God Bless your family from the Bahamas
Preston, your book is a blessing in so many ways. I was left at the end wanting more. Looking forward to part 2.
When Jackie was like "I need more" (humility) I felt that! 😂
I know Preston mentioned about being modest with drinking alcohol around people and I understand that. But there is so much more examples I would you like to hear to understand, because I was watching this Romans 14 pop in my head.
Ex: Can Christians collaborate with the secular and I think that’s biggest thing that us young Christians wanna know and if we can what does that look like
What do you mean by “collaborate”?
@@tiad.9142Like can Christian artists work with non Christian artists
Speak Preston
This was great, I also have an insecurity of being on my phone, using my bible on my phone. I literally want to use my physical bible
I love it when Jackie says "all the things😂"
Love watching you two , I learn so much . Plus y’all funny !! Continued blessings
Bring your children into your devotional time. Birth to age 12 make them part of your spiritual umbilical cord. Even if it means letting them color, crawl on you, dance, play instruments, or whatever while you pray, sing, dance, read out loud every morning, every night. You will wish you did if you neglect this.
4:13 nah bc why did Preston and I say that at the exact same time😂.. i love this podcast sm. I laughed so much in just the first 5 minutes, but i also received truth as well.
The bug assault rifle at the beginning is WIIIIIILLLLDDDD!! 😅😂😅😂 So we not killing flies with shoes anymore, huh?! A shoe will take them to a permanent grave with no resurrection!! 🤣😂
Ok let me get back to this good, good content. 💪🏾
Jackie: “Ohh- he’s like Lazarus!”
Preston: “I want they’re homies to come see them”
Me: “This ain’t Chicago & they ain’t bangers, Preston!”🧐
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 yall are HILARIOUS! Glad you left the “Fly scene” in 🤣
Too hilarious
I can remember as a sixteen year old having a baby that I had to surrender all of my rights to raise that child and do what was best for her parents don't get that nowadays.
I love y’all! And I pray God continues to keep up! ❤
I know Jackie don’t like complements but you looked pretty. Face is beat.
Preston at the end aww 🥰 teehee. Y’all are great! Love ya my brother and sister 🤍
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Thank you for saying that
Jackie playing that song.im crying! Lol its meeeee!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 minutes of this episode.
JACKIEEEEE the guilt of always being on the phone with your kids around is so real 😩! I struggle with this as well because I do everything from my phone. But I don’t want them to always see me on it as well 🥴🥴. I feel so convicted about my time on this device🙏🏽
Awesome book recommendation - I listened to it on audio - the opt out family is the title :)
*he’s like LAZARUS!….. I cannot 😂😂
This is going to be good! 🙌🏽❤️
As a believer, why are we aloud to drink wine and get a buzz but not smoke weed and get high? I’m not new to the walk with Christ but I do still have questions
That’s a very good question.
I'll try my best to answer ❤
Respectfully, I don't know that I believe the "allowed to get a buzz" part of your question. The Word guides us to remain alert and sober-minded at all times (1 Peter 5:8). We're not able to do this when we are under the influence of mind-altering things, such as drugs and alcohol. We aren't able to EFFECTIVELY exercise self control under the influence of the aforementioned things (among other things). It's not falling-down drunk, but getting buzzed, in my opinion, can be the same as being high. You're not even permitted to drive while you're buzzed (though some still do), which implies that on some level, your regular judgement is being impaired (your regular state of mind is altered, even just a little).
We know that smoking weed for the purpose of getting high (because there are medicinal purposes for it, as well) is considered sinful because you are behaving against the instructions in 1 Peter 5:8, and thus cannot exercise true self-control in such a state. However, I don't believe everyone drinks to get drunk. Some people just genuinely enjoy the TASTE of wine or champagne. That said, while I don't believe that having a glass of wine is a sin, drunkenness (even just a buzz) is the sin in question.
BUT, this is just my own conviction and revelation. I definitely do not want to push my convictions onto you. I know when things aren't explicitly stated in scripture, it can get a bit sticky. So, I encourage you to remain in prayer about these things you might have questions on. The Lord will certainly give clarity! I hope this helps. 😊
Yoh Jackie the phone issue is my challenge just this week I felt so convicted about how I will hae my phone because like I do a lot on my phone. I am praying that some of the things I can do after they are asleep because I can see how I use my phone can be confusing to my kids. So this is a confirmation
Book recommendation - it's called the opt out family - and touches on this a lot!
@@chelseafailla9887 thank you 🙏🏾
"You don't have to change up BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHANGE!!!!"
Jackie was in a silly goofy mood this episode 😂❤
Yall keep cutting each other off. Calm down 😂 we know you’re excited to be back 😊 Great episode ❤
