Just trying to learn and figure it out. And I also want to mention one thing about that story with my dad before we move on is, who is my dad sitting with? A group of pastors. Do you know how many of those pastors Sean said, hey, Mr. Tebow, let me go find him dinner. And Mr. Tebow, let me go find him a night stay. Mr. Tebow, let me go figure out food for tomorrow or all of this stuff.
Not one of them. Why? Because they all had really good excuses. Like, well, Mr. Tebow, you know, those people that you're giving that money to, they're going to go do something else bad with it. And yes, Sean, it's probably true. But go say it to those four girls.
And I'm not saying that my dad had a perfect strategy in all of this, but man, he just knew the true infinite worth and value of those boys and girls, and he was willing to do whatever he could for them. And so many times we look and we try to weigh and judge in all of this, and sometimes God's saying, I want you to step in and I want you to be a warrior for them. I want you to fight for them.
Don't you just talk on the peripheral or share? No. I want you to get in the fight for them. And I was also so convicted when my dad told me, when I asked about what the pastors did, and he told me, because I started to think how many times in my life have I just made really good excuses? Because we can't. It's easy. Well, we're doing this, and one day I'm going to do that.
One day we're going to figure it out. I'm going to go on a mission trip, and I'm going to do these things. And we spend so much time making really good excuses. And I don't even think we always realize we're making good excuses. But so many times, I look back and I say, no, to me, that's a really good excuse. It's a really good excuse. And honestly, we can fool ourselves and we can fool others.
But I would challenge us, and I've challenged myself a lot, are you really just saying, oh, you're tired, or you have to do this, or you have to do this, or I've got to provide here, or I've got to do this, but I've got to go train, but I've got to go do this? Or are you really just making a good excuse to avoid saying yes to something God's calling you to?
Well, because he's bringing all the pastors from local area. And many of these pastors in this country had been thrown in prison for being pastors, for being Christians. Many had been persecuted.
some worse and um and so it's an area where they thought they could meet and and um and so they're looking for places to you know these men were looking for places to sell and i i honestly would even take it farther i believe that it was a that God used that time for my dad and some of those other pastors that have been very influential to me as a special moment.
Sometimes we say ordained moments or stuff, and I don't know, but just a moment where it was going to open his eyes so that he would open mine.
Sean, it's such a good question, and I wish there was a perfect answer I could give, but I'm also looking for that myself. And I work with so many friends, mentors, and pastors of trying to discern. and figure that out. And I spend time in prayer, in God's Word, and with wise counsel. And I'll always go back to those three because that is in Scripture. We need to spend time with them.
We need to spend time in prayer. We need to spend time with wise counsel. All are so vital to life in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. But I would also add to that. that when you say your gut or I say, you know, God pricks my heart and opens my eyes, we need to take that back to God's word. Does it match up? Is my gut or my heart matching with God's word?
And if it's matching with God's word and there's something I can do about it, I always want to lean towards, yes, we do it.
If we can make a difference in humanity or for a hurting person, and also why it's so important to go back to God's word, because if it matches up with God's word and meaning something like the fight against trafficking or exploitation or the valuing of humanity and special needs or orphan care, like all of those things we have been told in scripture, Defend the weak and the fatherless.
Stand up for the orphan and the widow. Just over and over and over again. So yes, we've already been told to do that. Like, that's already a yes. It's already. So when we're saying, hey, should I get into this? Well, maybe it's not my long-term calling. But yeah, if we're doing it, I can make a difference. Yeah, do it.
And I also encourage, because so many people ask me, Tammy, how do I know my purpose? And I'll first say, I don't know. I'm not God, and I don't understand the Bible perfectly. I'm just a sinner saved by grace that's kind of trying to figure it out along the way.
But man, if your eyes have been opened to a problem, if your heart has been pricked, or your gut is saying something, and you know it is in Scripture, it matches Scripture, and you can do something about it, yeah. Let's err on the side of doing something. How do you know if it aligns with scripture? I think that's where it's so important to get into God's word and to know what God's word says.
It's the love letter manual for our lives. And sometimes we look at it as a chore. And I tell you, so many times I've looked at a chore. Oh, man, I know I got to get in God's word. Like, I have to do this versus I get to do this versus, man, I get to get in God's love letter.
And yes, there are some areas that are so complicated and trying to go back to the original language and understanding Old Testament, New Testament. But it's something that is so real and alive. And man, when you get into it and you study with friends and fellowship in it, I also believe God does something with it and in you with it.
And so it's important to know when I say go back to scripture and like referring to the story with dad and like, God, my dad knew that because he already knew scripture. He knew that every one of those girls are fearfully and wonderfully made, that they are one of one created in love, by love and for love, on purpose and for a purpose. And that ain't the purpose.
And so he already knows, I got to stand up for them. And ultimately, that's not necessarily, let's say, he's calling all the time. Dad's biggest calling is he's an evangelist, right? But in that moment, I'm here. I can do something about it. I have to do something about it. And I love that about him so much.
