CHURCH NOTES 2/8/26 

📖 OLD Biblical Question: What’s the right way for parents and others to help others become strong? 

📖 NEW Biblical Question: What is the chief cause of spiritual sickness?

2026 Theme: Endurance (since Church 1/4/26) 

2026 Assignment: Be a doormat. (since Church 12/28/25) 

00 – Welcome 

(0:00:00) – Start (0:01:19) Intro

1A – BQ feedback 

(0:01:56) – Alexis on the BQ (0:03:23) Alex… (0:03:50) Kurt… (0:04:15) Man who’s not a parent (0:04:48) Another man: They have to be open to it. So make sure you’re in line yourself. (0:05:19) – Young lady: Be an example, a role model — because you can’t help others. 

1B – JLP on BQ: You can’t help anyone. … Grace? 

(0:05:49) – JLP: You can’t help anyone. 

(0:06:47) – Thoughts on grace? Who’s Grace? Undeserving favor, per Google. Not a lady named Grace. Idk. I never think about it. (0:07:28) synonymous with forgiving, not judging. Let’s go with that for now. 

2A – Quiz… Talk on thoughts, lies. Devil’s “good stabs” 

(0:07:50) – JLP: Endure until you can no more. Young lady responds… 

(0:08:39) – Quiz… A 3-min talk on last year from Sam(?) … (0:11:00) Sam(?) … stabbings… (0:14:14) Reacting to silly things. Working on being present… 

(0:14:59) – Alexis, respond… Q: Silent Prayer, counting stabs: Good and bad stabs… Being present (0:16:16) the “good stabs” keep me away. Sam(?): I try to focus on good feelings… (0:17:52) JLP: When a bad stab comes, it’s overwhelming. Alexis responds… how did you come to KNOW thoughts are lies? (0:19:13) Alexis: I don’t think I KNOW that yet. (0:19:51) Why aren’t you convinced? (0:21:09) Still think some thoughts may be true. 

(0:21:22) – Respond to his talk, and ask a Q… German man David: It takes away the power of the thought to know every thought is a lie, and you don’t go as deep into it. (0:22:26) Anchor Baby translates: Anything that helps you stay present? (0:23:29) Often distracted, unconscious, go deep into thoughts… Sam(?) responds… slowing down, being present. Thoughts keep coming at you. 

(0:25:24) – Are you convinced all thoughts are lies all the time: Can you see that clearly? “More or less,” says David. 

2B – Being a doormat… Laid off: Embarrassing? Rejoice in pain  

(0:25:59) – Randy, being a doormat … letting life happen, without having a response to you, or the idea of you. Not always doing it. Why not? (0:26:53) – Laid-off mid-last month. Wife knows, kids don’t. Big pain, losing identity. Embarrassing, painful, consuming. Endurance… allowing pain to come in. (0:27:46) – Why is that embarrassing: Did you run from ICE? Not like you got fired. (0:29:39) – Cried? Lying! I knew it! I’m confused why I still feel the pain. 

(0:30:16) – What is he doing wrong? Young lady… Getting into his own head. Easier said than done? JLP: You believe the thoughts, that’s why. (0:31:18) Who is embarrassed? The other “me.” Wicked. From driver seat to passenger seat, like Sam(?) said. 

(0:32:00) – JLP: You should tell the kids too! (0:32:43) – Rejoicing in the pain? Yes. 

2C – Doug being a doormat … It’s just a thought 

(0:34:23) – Doug becoming a doormat, for the most part, but in my head once in a while, it goes by me, my old ways: Overreact. Make something more than it should be. … 

(0:36:42) – Young man in hat asks Doug: Catch it in the middle? Huge relief. Nothing is what my mind thinks it is. 

(0:38:29) – Alexis: It’s just a thought (0:39:16) JLP: It’s just a thought. 

2D – Human Nature 

(0:39:48) – Human nature? Dolores… being alone, rather than surrounded by people. Identity of being social… Learned to be quieter, listen more… 

(0:44:59) – Raymond on human nature and a question for Dolores … (0:47:16) – Lot of stuff I don’t care about. I don’t think I’m supposed to care… 

2E – Raymond, do you still see yourself as no-good? Praise… 

(0:47:52) – Raymond, do you see yourself as no-good still? 

(0:49:12) – Puffing up, question from Shayan… (0:51:09) – JLP: Best is to catch before the pain. Come back to present. 

3A – Mimi “fallen into abyss” in new job: it’s been hard 

(0:51:42) – Mimi, maybe she should get fired. How’s job? It’s fine. A point of contention. I’ve fallen into an abyss. … About to cry… (0:54:30) Expecting something… boss doesn’t support: Maybe a compliment. “It’s just been… *high-pitched voice* hard.” Jesse mimics her, LOL. (0:56:44) – Physically exhausted every day. New job AND new place! Too much. Don’t mean to complain. TOO LATE. I’m so blessed from 6mo ago. Thoughts telling her… (0:58:02) – JLP: Aww, poor you! No empathy! I’m laughing at you! 

(0:58:37) – Donyale said, oh, you need to do the Silent Prayer! Not doing the Silent Prayer. THAT’S WHY I DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! 

(1:00:42) Who’s feeling that way? Not me. You just say whatever comes to your heard. 

3B – When are you gonna become a doormat? 

(1:01:38) – Doug Q to Mimi: When you gonna become a doormat? (1:03:01) When something good comes, I think someone gonna take it away, something bad gonna happen… Holding onto it. (1:03:34) – In 20 words or less… (1:04:16) Doug: Doormat doesn’t have to answer every Q… Jesse: Don’t have to know everything at the job all at once… Mimi: I thought being a doormat was just not being a angry. JLP: Fear is anger. I forgot that too. … 

(1:05:42) – JLP: When I saw you walk in, I was like, Oh Lord…  If you decide to quit, I have a friend who just got laid off… Before you quit, lemme know! “Boss is very sharp, very heavy handed.” JLP: He’s not thinking, You peasant. You’re thinking that. 

3C – How do I get out of my thoughts? 

How do I get out of my thoughts? (1:07:23) – The pie man (flan guy) … be a doormat, relax and be a doormat. Care way too much what they think. And I have my own version of what they think, and it may be wrong. (1:08:44) – JLP: Worst thing you can do in life is play a role. Just be you. … Mimi yaps more… (1:09:29) – Silent Prayer is within… (1:10:14) What if I can’t let go? Let go of the thought of it. 

4A – “I’m shy of being out of my comfort zone.” Laughing in fear 

(1:11:26) – Young lady, how you doing, what’s on your mind? Overcome your anger? “I’m kind of shy… of public speaking, talking.” Come up here! “No way… fear… being out of my comfort level.” How will you overcome that fear if you don’t go into it? “Can’t even think about it.” (1:12:53) – JLP: Even you’re laughing in fear! Come on up, then! “No way, can’t do it. Frozen.” 

(1:13:38) – Who is keeping you from coming up? … (1:15:46) Maybe after a couple drinks… (1:16:35) – Look around: Who do you see you’re afraid of? Myself. It’s all in you. (1:16:50) – JLP: They will not face that fear, dive into it and feel it. Unwilling to do that. 

(1:17:25) – Forgiven your mother? I’m screwing up my kids the same way. 32 and 21. Backed off? Known friend since Jr High… (Mateus sp?) 

(1:19:14) – Advice? Just go up there. No judgment. (1:20:23) – Rochelle: It’s nothing. It’s just a thought. (1:20:54) – JLP: You have white privilege! 

4B – Fear owns you every day. Mimi: Nervous laugh 

(1:21:13) – Mateusse (sp?) being a doormat, laying weapons down. She’s always been very quiet, very shy. (1:21:54) ‘cuz her mother beat her! (laughter) No… (1:22:15) Gonna die this way? Yep! Doesn’t own me every day. You’re just not paying attention. 

(1:22:46) – Mimi, same fear, different situation. Relax into it, fighting… (1:24:06) – JLP: There’s nothing to fight! (1:24:29) – I do that laugh when I’m nervous… “Amazin, ahahaha.” 

(1:25:18) – Kurt, it’d be so much fun. You love the Devil right? Today. Every day! Leave her alone, boy. 

5A – Whole or divided? No sickness 

(1:26:03) – Franky: Whole AND divided? (1:26:40) – Alex: Whole or divided? Peaceful… (1:27:12) – Hat… Feel like a whole person. Higher power, God. -Jimmy 

(1:28:20) – Another man from Kentucky or somewhere: Drifting. Afraid to stay present, might miss something. Illusion: Can’t miss! 

(1:29:27) – Not being our body…  JLP: It’s impossible to get sick when you become a whole person. People love sickness, tell the world! Thrills. Cancer. (1:31:30) Larry hasn’t drunk in a week: Applause. Now he can’t wait to go home and get drunk. All my friends, family are gone! Blessed. Let ‘em go. Don’t judge them. They can’t see. 

5B – Church people cussing during the week 

(1:32:29) – Whole or divided? Armenian(?) lady: “I’m trying.” Why don’t you drop it? Choking me. Laid off? No, laughs. … She recounts cussing after hanging up with a rude bank employee. Then a voice said she should’ve dealt with it last month! 

(1:35:40) – Eric said he cussed after something too important to him, about a bathroom not working. “Dropped the F-bomb. They never seen me like that.” Coworker gaslighting me, I stayed a doormat with that. After a couple hours, I realized the bathroom was too important to me. 

5C – Same demons in every human being, Mimi! 

(1:38:21) – JLP: The same spirit, Mimi! Every human being, same thing … Mimi discusses… 

(1:42:09) – JLP: All of your sins have been forgiven. … Rise in consciousness again. (1:43:41) Mimi: The heat turned up… JLP: Demons screaming, Where’s God? It’s been 35 years! Get drunk! Don’t go on-stage! Those are demons. (1:45:20) Thinking what others are thinking! 

(1:46:04) – Armenian lady, Silent Prayer, get really hot. (1:47:12) – Let it happen. Don’t give it a name. See what it is. If it’s not physical illness, relax. 

5D – If you don’t know what to say: I don’t know 

(1:47:48) – Anita, the gal from Ghana: Someone asked if I ever get angry. Two weeks ago my mother expired. A month ago she lost her husband. She perceived it as joy in me. I used the James verse about anger and righteousness. (1:49:19) It’s OK to say idk 

6A – JLP: Divided vs Whole: Mind of God 

(1:49:54) – JLP: You will know you’re divided, or whole… Devil … Someone wanna leave… Fine. You can be whole, one. Stop being divided. Christ said we’re his brothers and sisters. You are everything, and don’t know it. Mind of God. Whole. Made perfectly. Taught wrong. Fear is not of God. Rise to the mind of God. He’ll renew our mind. 

(1:54:06) – Shayan, amazing being here, not staying home and watching. We’re all the same. 

(1:55:01) – JLP: We’re the light of the world, the salt of the earth. (1:55:40) Laid off? NBD. Another door open if you don’t freak out, better than before. You own the world, children of God. Practice staying whole. Rising to the Mind of God. Don’t overreact! The Devil wants you to. Don’t. 

(1:57:01) – In closing, you will see there’s nothing to defend. 

6B – New BQ… Christian with fear; Beta Higher Power 

(1:57:59) – Ready to come up? 

(1:58:42) – More from JLP, new BQ 

(1:59:33) – Christian with fear … Higher power doesn’t make me go on stage 

(2:01:19) – JLP: Never done wrong.
