Announcer: COMING UP, DR. CAROLINE LEAF EXPLORES THE DIFFERENCES

BETWEEN THE MALE AND FEMALE BRAIN

WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH MONEY.

AND GOD HAS GIVEN US, EACH OF US HALF THE PICTURE.

HE'S GIVEN YOU HALF THE PICTURE BY YOUR WAY YOU THINK,

WHICH IS BASED ON YOUR BRAIN CIRCUITRY

AND HE HAS GIVEN YOU THE OTHER HALF.

AND SO YOU'RE EXPONENTIALLY BETTER TOGETHER.

SO IT IS COMPATIBILITY.

Announcer: HOW MONEY MANAGES YOUR MIND -- NEXT ON LIFE TODAY!

§

James: THANK ALL OF YOU!

IT IS A JOY

TO COME INTO YOUR HOME.

I'M JAMES ROBISON.

BETTY AND I WELCOME YOU

TO LIFE TODAY.

MANY OF YOU, AS VIEWERS,

CALLING OUR PRAYER CENTER

YOU'LL WRITE AND SEND NOTES.

MANY OF YOU ARE WONDERFUL

SUPPORTERS OF OUR MINISTRY.

YOU WILL SEND A GIFT SOMETIMES

WITH A NOTE.

WE WILL SEND ALWAYS

A THANK YOU RECEIPT

FOR YOUR GIFT AND MANY TIMES

YOU'LL PEN SOMETHING ON THAT

AND WRITE BACK AND SAY,

"WILL YOU PRAY ABOUT THIS?"

AND ONE OF THE MAJOR

PRAYER REQUESTS,

IF IT IS NOT HEALTH,

AND SOMEBODY IN THE FAMILY

THAT IS FIGHTING IN SOME WAY

SOME DISEASE, SOME ILLNESS,

SOME CHALLENGE

THEN IT HAS TO DO MANY TIMES,

OF COURSE, RELATIONSHIPS

IS A BIG ISSUE,

BUT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES.

OUR NATION RIGHT NOW IS

IN SO MANY WAYS,

IT SEEMS TO BE TEETERING.

I'M SO CONCERNED ABOUT

THE THINKING THAT HAS LED US

TO THE TEETERING, THE LACK

OF STABILITY AND SECURITY

AND EVEN HOPEFULNESS.

BUT BETTY, BECAUSE PEOPLE

HAVE ASKED, WE WERE IMPRESSED,

ALONG WITH OUR STAFF

TO PUT TOGETHER

A TEACHING SERIES

CALLED MORE than ENOUGH.

GOD OFFERS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

HE PROMISES THAT

IF YOU PUT HIM FIRST,

REALLY PUT HIM FIRST

IN ALL OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS --

NOW THIS IS THE PROMISE OF GOD,

THIS ISN'T A GOVERNMENT GRANT,

THIS IS

A GOD GUARANTEE GRANT --

YOU PUT ME FIRST,

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU

MANAGE YOUR AFFAIRS.

IT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU WON'T HAVE TROUBLE,

IT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU WON'T HAVE A SHIPWRECK,

IT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU WON'T BE PERSECUTED,

IT DOESN'T MEAN

OTHERS WON'T MISTREAT YOU,

IT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A VALLEY OR

A DITCH OR A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

OR A CHALLENGE OR A PAIN.

IT JUST MEANS YOU'VE GOT A GOD

WHO IS A FATHER

WHO IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

SEE, THE GOVERNMENT

IS NEVER ENOUGH.

GOD IS ALWAYS ENOUGH.

WE WANT TO GIVE YOU

A TEACHING WITH A NUMBER

OF TRULY GIFTED PEOPLE

WHO ARE TALKING ABOUT FINANCES,

HOW TO MANAGE THEM,

HOW TO RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER,

HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

THIS SERIES,

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

IF YOU SAY,

"I NEED SOME ADVICE,"

WE PUT TOGETHER A TEAM

TO GIVE YOU ADVICE.

AND IN THIS SERIES OF TEACHING

FROM ABOUT FIVE OR SIX

DIFFERENT REAL STRATEGIC

THINKERS IS ALSO THE BOOK,

TRUE PROSPERITY:

IT IS MORE THAN MONEY.

AND BOY,

HAVE BETTY AND I PROSPERED.

YOU SAY, "HAVE YOU

PROSPERED MONETARILY?"

YES, WE HAVE BUT

WE HAVE PROSPERED MONETARILY

BECAUSE WE'VE PROSPERED

SPIRITUALLY, AND WE'VE BEEN

BLESSED IN OUR SOUL

AND IN EVERYTHING WE DO,

AND ALL THE BLESSINGS

WE SEEK MONETARILY

DO NOT CAPTURE OUR HEART.

CAN WE ENJOY THE THINGS

AROUND US?

YES, BECAUSE THE LORD

IS THE JOY OF OUR HEART,

IN PLEASING HIM

AND FOLLOWING HIS GUIDANCE.

THIS BOOK TELLS ABOUT A BOY

WHO NEVER HAD A FATHER,

WHO NEVER HAD A CHANCE

AND WHAT GOD CAN DO

AND HE CAN DO IT FOR YOU.

THIS IS IN THE MATERIAL.

WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GUEST.

WE HAVE A WOMAN THAT HAS

AN INSIGHT, SHE'S GOT A PH.D.

IN STUDYING THE MIND

AND STUDYING HOW PEOPLE THINK.

SHE IS A NEUROSCIENTIST;

SHE LOOKS AT HOW

THE MIND WORKS.

YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S DISCOVERED?

MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT ALIKE.

YOU SAY, "WELL, I CAN TELL

THEY DON'T LOOK ALIKE."

A LOT OF THEM

ARE TRYING TO ACT ALIKE;

MEN TRYING TO ACT LIKE WOMEN,

WOMEN TRYING TO ACT LIKE MEN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I CAN'T FIGURE THAT OUT.

BASICALLY, MEN AND WOMEN ARE

DIFFERENT NOT ONLY IN THE WAY

THEY'RE MADE BUT IN THEIR

THINKING, IN THEIR MIND.

THEIR BRAINS ARE

ACTUALLY DIFFERENT.

SHE DISAPPOINTED ME

BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE HAS --

Betty: MINE IS BIGGER

THAN YOURS -- MY BRAIN.

James: SHE SAID A WOMAN'S BRAIN

IS BIGGER THAN THE MAN'S.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Betty: I THINK I HAD

ALREADY FIGURED THAT OUT.

[Laughter]

James: WOULD YOU WELCOME

DR. CAROLINE LEAF

TO LIFE TODAY?

SHE IS A WONDERFUL GUEST!

Dr. Leaf: THANK YOU.

GREAT TO BE BACK WITH YOU.

James: OKAY, TELL US ABOUT

HOW MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT

OTHER THAN JUST THEIR ANATOMY

AND THE WAY THEY LOOK.

IT'S THE WAY THEY THINK; RIGHT?

Dr. Leaf: FIRST OF ALL,

I JUST HAVE TO SAY

IT IS SO GREAT TO BE BACK.

AND I'VE GOT TO CORRECT

THAT YOUR BRAIN'S

ACTUALLY BIGGER THAN OURS.

THE MALE BRAIN IS BIGGER

THAN THE FEMALE BRAIN.

IT IS A FACT.

ITS ABOUT 3.2 POUNDS AND

A WOMAN'S BRAIN IS 3 POUNDS.

BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT SIZE,

IT IS ABOUT CONNECTIONS.

SO IT IS HOW WE ACTUALLY

ARE USING OUR BRAIN BUT

YOU KNOW WHAT IS SO AMAZING?

THE REASON I WROTE THE BOOK

THAT I DID WAS TO TEACH PEOPLE

THAT THERE'S TANGIBLE WAYS

OF UNDERSTANDING

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT.

SO WHEN IT COMES

TO DECISION MAKING,

FINANCIAL DECISION MAKING,

ANY KIND OF DECISION MAKING,

THE WAY GOD HAS DESIGNED THE

HUMAN BRAIN HELPS US AND FORCES

US TO ADOPT THE JESUS MODEL.

THE JESUS MODEL WAS

GET OUT OF YOURSELF AND

THINK ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON.

I'VE WATCHED YOU TWO FOR YEARS.

YOU'RE MY HEROES.

IF I WANT YOUR MARRIAGE,

IT'S INCREDIBLE THE WAY YOU

-- IT IS SO GENUINE, THE LOVE,

THE RELATIONSHIP --

IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE!

James: BY THE WAY, IT'S REAL.

IT'S NOT JUST ON TELEVISION.

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY,

TOTALLY CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER

AND WE HAVE FUN.

Dr. Leaf: I HAVE SEEN THAT

EVEN IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS --

YOU NEVER STOP!

I GO, "THAT'S WHAT I WANT!

I WANT THAT FOR MY MARRIAGE.

I WANT TO SHARE THAT

WITH OTHER PEOPLE."

James: WE WANT IT FOR

EVERYBODY'S MARRIAGE BECAUSE

GOD WANTS IT FOR ALL OF US

AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE

THE KIND OF MARRIAGE WE HAVE

IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD.

Dr. Leaf: EXACTLY,

SO YOU HAVE PUT GOD FIRST AND

THEN YOU PUT EACH OTHER FIRST.

YOU'VE GIVEN 100% TO EACH OTHER

SO IF YOU'RE GIVING 100

HE'S GETTING 100.

IF YOU'RE GIVING 100

IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY WORKS.

THAT'S THE DESIGN OF THE BRAIN.

THE HUMAN BRAIN HAS BEEN

DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY

THAT EVERY CIRCUIT

IN THE HUMAN BRAIN IS ALL

IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.

SO EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED FOR

POSITIVE ALTRUISM, FOR GIVING,

FOR TARGETING THE STRUGGLE,

FOR GIVING TO THE OTHER PERSON.

YOU ADD TO THAT THE UNIQUENESS

OF THE MALE/FEMALE BRAIN,

GOD HAS DESIGNED THEM TO BE

COMPLIMENTARY OPPOSITES.

SO WE'RE DIFFERENT

BUT THAT DIFFERENCE

IS NOT EXPOSING A WEAKNESS.

IT'S NOT A BAD THING; IT IS

ACTUALLY A COMPLIMENTARY THING

THAT WE NEED EACH OTHER.

SO WE LITERALLY

COMPLETE EACH OTHER.

WE'RE NOT COMPETING,

WE'RE COMPLETING.

WE'RE COMPATIBLE.

James: NOT COMPETING --

COMPLETING.

AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT!

Dr. Leaf: AND WE SEE THAT

WITH THE BRAIN STRUCTURE.

ITS INCREDIBLE, JAMES AND BETTY

YOU ACTUALLY SEE SOME

STRUCTURES IN THE FEMALE BRAIN

ARE BIGGER THAN IN

THE MALE BRAIN AND VICE VERSA,

AND THERE IS A PURPOSE BEHIND

EVERYTHING BECAUSE THE SIZE AND

THE CIRCUITRY OF THE DIFFERENT

STRUCTURES OF THE BRAIN WILL

DETERMINE HOW WE EACH THINK.

AND GOD HAS GIVEN EACH OF US

HALF THE PICTURE.

HE'S GIVEN YOU HALF THE PICTURE

BY THE WAY YOU THINK, WHICH IS

BASED ON YOUR BRAIN CIRCUITRY,

AND HE'S GIVEN YOU

THE OTHER HALF.

SO THEN WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER,

YOU'RE EXPONENTIALLY

BETTER TOGETHER.

SO IT IS COMPATIBILITY

AND IT IS COMPLIMENTARY.

WE ENHANCE EACH OTHER --

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.

James: WE ACTUALLY FEEL

TERRIBLY INCOMPLETE

WITHOUT ONE ANOTHER.

THAT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION,

THAT'S NOT TRYING TO BE

PATRONIZING OR JUST POLITE,

I WOULD FEEL TOTALLY INCOMPLETE

WITHOUT HER.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT

TRYING TO BUILD HER UP,

IT IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT.

Dr. Leaf: AND THAT'S

WHAT YOU REPRESENT.

THAT'S WHY I GET SO EXCITED

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU TWO

BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT

WHAT I'M TRYING TO TEACH

IN TERMS OF MALE/FEMALE BRAIN

BECAUSE YOU'VE APPLIED THAT.

AND YOU'RE USING YOUR GIFT

AND YOU'RE COMPLIMENTING

AND YOU'RE EXPONENTIALLY

BETTER TOGETHER.

SO FOR EXAMPLE,

IF YOU'RE MAKING DECISIONS,

WHEN ONE MAKES A DECISION,

I'LL EXPLAIN AS WE'RE THINKING

AND PROCESSING THROUGH

LIKE A FINANCIAL INVESTMENT

OR BUYING A HOUSE

OR DEALING WITH AN ISSUE

OR MAKING DECISIONS,

WHETHER IT IS HAVING MONEY

OR NOT HAVING MONEY --

IN YOUR FAMILY,

WHATEVER IT MAY BE,

YOU BOTH THINK DIFFERENTLY

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE,

TO THE SAME POINT,

COMPLIMENTARY OPPOSITES,

THROUGH DIFFERENT CIRCUITS.

THE EASIEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND

IS THAT YOUR BRAIN, JAMES,

OPERATES LIKE A SUPER COMPUTER.

SO I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

LET ME FIRST USE THIS MODEL.

THIS IS A MODEL OF THE BRAIN

AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BRAIN

WE'VE GOT THE TOPS

OF THE TREES.

WHEN I'VE BEEN ON THE PROGRAM

BEFORE, I'VE EXPLAINED THAT

THOUGHTS ARE REAL AND THAT --

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINKING

AND EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY

WE'RE THINKING, WE'RE CHOOSING

AND WE'RE BUILDING THOUGHTS.

THOSE THOUGHTS OCCUPY

MENTAL REAL ESTATE.

THE THOUGHTS LOOK LIKE TREES.

SO WE'VE GOT A NICE

HEALTHY THOUGHT OVER HERE.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT --

DO YOU REMEMBER

THIS TOXIC THOUGHT?

WE'VE GOT THE BAD THOUGHT --

THAT'S A BAD THOUGHT.

James: YOU'VE ACTUALLY GOT

DIAGRAMS OF THE ACTUAL BRAIN

WHERE THEY'VE TAKEN PICTURES

AND THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A SHORT CIRCUITED

BLOWN-OUT TREE.

Dr. Leaf: IT LOOKS LIKE A BLACK

-- IT LOOKS AWFUL.

SO HERE WE GO.

JAMES, YOU HAVE A GOOD MEMORY.

LET ME SHOW YOU THIS.

THERE YOU GO.

SO IF YOU HAVE A LOOK THERE,

THAT IS INSIDE THE BRAIN.

James: THAT'S AN ACTUAL PICTURE

OF AN ACTUAL BRAIN.

Dr. Leaf: THAT'S INSIDE

THE BRAIN AND IT'S BASICALLY

THE TOXIC AREA.

YOU'RE DESIGNED FOR THE GOOD,

FOR THE POSITIVE -- YOU'RE

DESIGNED TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES,

POSITIVE ALTRUISM, THERE IS

NO CIRCUITS FOR NEGATIVITY.

BUT YOU THINK AND YOU CHOOSE

ALL DAY LONG; YOU THINK,

YOU CHOOSE, AND YOU BUILD.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE, YOU BUILD.

WHAT DO YOU BUILD?

-- PROTEINS THAT MAKE THOUGHTS.

IF I CHOOSE MY NATURAL DESIGN

I'M GOING TO DO THAT.

I'M GOING TO BUILD

A HEALTHY TREE.

IF I MAKE A BAD CHOICE,

UNFORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS,

ARGUING, FIGHTING, ANGER,

DISSENSION, NO COMPATIBILITY,

I'M GOING TO BUILD

A TOXIC THOUGHT; I'M GOING

TO BUILD A NEGATIVE THING.

THAT UPSETS MY ENTIRE BRAIN.

James: THAT IS

A ROOT OF BITTERNESS.

THAT'S NO EXAGGERATION,

IT'S BIBLICAL BUT IT'S ALSO

TRUE FROM AN ACTUAL PICTURE

OF THE BRAIN

IN ANATOMY YOU SEE IT.

Dr. Leaf: EXACTLY!

AND ANATOMICALLY.

AND WHEN WE WORK LIKE THIS

AS A HUSBAND AND A WIFE

OR EVEN AS A MALE/FEMALE

CEO OF A COMPANY

OR RUNNING ORGANIZATIONS,

WHEN YOU OPERATE FROM TOXICITY,

YOU'RE GOING TO ACTIVATE ALL

THE BRILLIANT CIRCUITRY OF

THE BRAIN THAT'S DESIGNED TO

COMPLIMENT WILL THEN COMPETE.

IT WILL NO LONGER

BE COMPATIBLE.

Betty: DOES THAT SOMETIMES

HAPPEN AS COUPLES DO,

WHEN YOU GET MARRIED,

THERE IS A LOT OF ADJUSTMENT.

IN FACT, WE'VE BEEN MARRIED

FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS AND THERE

IS STILL A LOT OF ADJUSTMENT;

IT IS AN ONGOING THING.

BUT SOMETIMES WE THINK,

"OH, IF HE WOULD JUST --."

I WOULD THINK,

"IF HE WOULD JUST LOOK AT IT

THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.

IF HE WOULD THINK ABOUT IT

THE WAY I THINK ABOUT IT."

SO IT IS NOT A MATTER OF

HE THINKS DIFFERENTLY,

I THINK DIFFERENTLY;

IT DOESN'T MEAN

ONE'S RIGHT AND ONE'S WRONG.

Dr. Leaf: THAT'S GOOD, BETTY!

THAT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT POINT.

THAT DIFFERENCE

IS NOT A WEAKNESS.

IT IS COMPLIMENTARY OPPOSITES.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE BEST EXAMPLE

THAT I CAN THINK OF, A COUPLE

OF EXAMPLES TO HIGHLIGHT

WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID.

A MAN THINKS THROUGH

LIKE A SUPER COMPUTER

SO THE TOPS OF THE TREES

WHERE THE BRANCHES

OF THE SUPER COMPUTER,

LOCALIZED, LOGICAL, ORGANIZED,

PROFOUNDLY EFFICIENT

THROUGH THE TOPS OF TREES.

NOW THE BOTTOM OF THE TREES --

ALL TREES HAVE TREE TRUNKS.

WE CALL THAT -- WHAT ACTIVATES

THE SUPER COMPUTERS

IS THE INTERNET.

SO WE WOMEN THINK

LIKE THE INTERNET.

IT IS A HUGE WEB.

IT IS MULTIPLE.

IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[Laughter]

BUT IT IS BRILLIANT.

THE INTERNET IS BRILLIANT!

Betty: BRILLIANT!

[Laughter]

Dr. Leaf: I'M SOUTH AFRICAN,

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.

IT'S WONDERFUL -- AWESOME!

Betty: IT'S BRILLIANT!

I LIKE BRILLIANT!

James: IT INSPIRES US.

Dr. Leaf: YOUR SUPER COMPUTER

IS AWESOME, BRILLIANT,

WONDERFUL, BUT IT IS PRETTY

USELESS WITHOUT THE INTERNET.

THE INTERNET IS PHENOMENAL

BUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO DO

WITHOUT THE SUPER COMPUTER?

James: THAT'S RIGHT! USELESS!

I'M FOR YOU.

Dr. Leaf: WHEN WE'RE

PROCESSING A DECISION

A MAN WILL THINK THROUGH --

HE ALSO USES THE INTERNET

BUT A MAN PREDOMINANTLY WORKS

WITH THE SUPER COMPUTER

DRAWING ON THE INTERNET.

THE WOMAN PREDOMINANTLY WORKS

WITH THE INTERNET DRAWING

ON THE SUPER COMPUTER --

COMPLIMENTARY OPPOSITES.

YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE

WITHOUT THE OTHER.

IT'S ANOTHER STRUCTURE IN

THE BRAIN THAT IS FASCINATING.

James: YOU DEFINITELY DON'T

HAVE A HEALTHY COMPLETE ENTITY

WITHOUT THE TWO.

I THINK IT EVEN GOES BEYOND

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

I THINK IT REALLY HAS

SOMETHING TO DO WITH

THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER

AND HONOR ONE ANOTHER

AND DEFER TO ONE ANOTHER

AND WE WANT TO DRAW FROM THEM

AND NOT JUST TAKE FROM THEM,

BUT LEARN AND DRAW.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

BECAUSE I REALLY WANT THAT.

Dr. Leaf: NO, WHAT YOU'VE SAID

IS PHENOMENAL BECAUSE I ALWAYS

TRY AND TEACH PEOPLE

THAT YOUR FIRST THING

IS THE UNIQUENESS

OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.

THERE IS SOMETHING

YOU CAN DO AND YOU CAN DO

AND EVERYONE WATCHING NOW,

THAT NONE OF US CAN DO.

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO

THAT NO ONE ELSE

ON THIS PLANET CAN DO.

SO PRIMARILY

IT IS THE UNIQUENESS OF

WHO GOD CREATED YOU TO BE,

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT

THERE IS THE MALENESS

AND THE FEMALENESS.

AS WE TALK AT THE STRUGGLE,

YOUR BRAIN HAS STRUCTURES DEEP

DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAIN

THAT WHEN WE TALK

AT THE STRUGGLE TO TRY

AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER

LIKE YOU SAID A MOMENT AGO,

BETTY, WHEN YOU SAID,

"CAN'T HE JUST THINK LIKE ME?"

WHEN WE TALK

AT THE STRUGGLE TO THINK,

"HEY, HE DOESN'T THINK LIKE ME.

WHAT IS HE ACTUALLY SAYING?

WHAT HE'S JUST THOUGHT

IS NOT WHAT I'VE JUST ASSUMED

OR WHAT SHE JUST SAID

IS NOT WHAT I'VE JUST HEARD.

WHAT IS SHE REALLY SAYING?

WHAT IS HE REALLY SAYING?"

WHEN WE DO THAT,

OUR BRAIN SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER

-- IT IS SO EXCITING --

THE BRAIN SHIFTS INTO

THIS HIGH LEVEL OF FUNCTION

WHERE IT SWITCHES ON

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM,

INCREASES OUR HEALTH,

WE GROW A WHOLE BUNCH OF

CIRCUITRY RIGHT OVER HERE WHICH

WE CALL THE BASAL FOREBRAIN,

IT'S RIGHT OVER HERE

ON THE BRAIN.

THAT IS WHERE MOST THINKING

CIRCUITRY KICKS OFF FROM.

WHEN THAT GETS BIGGER

AND MORE BRANCHED

WE INCREASE OUR WISDOM,

WE INCREASE OUR PEACE,

WE INCREASE OUR JOY,

WE INCREASE OUR PROSPERITY.

THIS IS THE GATE KEEPER,

THE PEACE OF GOD,

WHICH TRANSCENDS

ALL UNDERSTANDING

WILL GUARD YOUR MIND

IN CHRIST JESUS.

WHEN WE TALK AT THE STRUGGLE

AND GET OUT OF OURSELVES

TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER

WE BENEFIT OURSELVES AS WELL

AS THE PEOPLE AROUND US.

AND WE ALSO HAVE THINGS CALLED

MIRA NERVE CELLS IN OUR BRAIN,

MIRA NEURONS.

SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING

AT EACH OTHER NOW, WHEN

YOU'RE WORKING WITH EACH OTHER,

WHEN YOU SAID WHAT YOU SAID

A MOMENT AGO ABOUT WANTING

TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE, YOUR

COMPASSION IS JUST PHENOMENAL,

THE WAY YOU TWO JUST --

YOUR WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN

TO SERVE OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU FEEL THE PAIN,

I WATCH YOU ON TV

WITH THE CHILDREN IN AFRICA

AND ALL THE THINGS YOU DO,

YOU MIRROR THE PAIN --

YOU MIRROR EMPATHY, YOUR

MIRA NEURONS SWITCH ON EMPATHY

SO WE DESIGN -- GOD HAS

DESIGNED US WITH A BRAIN

DESIGNED FOR ONLY THE GOOD,

TO MIRROR EACH OTHER'S

JOY AND PAIN AND TO FORCE --

TO GET OUT OF OURSELVES AND TRY

AND UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE:

ALTRUISM AND GIVING AND SERVING

AND OPTIMISM AND TRYING

TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PERSON.

THE BENEFIT GOD THEN GIVES US

WHEN WE DO THAT IS

WE INCREASE OUR INTELLIGENCE,

OUR PEACE, OUR WISDOM,

OUR HAPPINESS, OUR JOY.

THINGS SWITCH ON

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAIN

THAT JUST KICK US

INTO ANOTHER LEVEL OF FUNCTION.

SO MANY REWARDS.

James: TELL ME HOW MEN

AND WOMEN THINK ABOUT FINANCES

BECAUSE THIS IS --

WE'RE TEACHING ON

MORE than ENOUGH,

THAT GOD WANTS TO HELP US

MANAGE OUR FINANCES

AND HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH.

HOW DO MEN AND WOMEN

THINK FINANCIALLY

IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAT IT

IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND?

Dr. Leaf: TAKING THE SUPER

COMPUTER INTERNET EXAMPLE,

IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO MAKE SOME

KIND OF A FINANCIAL DECISION;

LET'S SAY YOU HAVE THE MONEY

AND THERE IS A GOOD FINANCIAL

-- YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION,

A HOUSE TO BUY,

OR AN INVESTMENT OR INSURANCE

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

THE WAY A MAN WILL LOOK AT IT

THROUGH THE SUPER COMPUTER

WILL BE LOCALIZED,

STRATEGIC, MOVING TO

A VERY FUNCTIONAL SOLUTION.

SO THE MAN WILL SAY,

"WHICH OPTION WILL WORK,

WHICH OPTION WON'T?"

THE MAN WILL CONSIDER

THE CONTEXT

AND HE WILL DRAW MEMORIES

FROM THE PAST EXPERIENCE

AND HE'LL BRING THAT

INTO THE CONTEXT OF THE MOMENT

AND HE WILL LOOK LOCALIZED

AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE

A STRATEGIC DECISION

WITHOUT ALMOST SEPARATING OUT

THE EMOTION FROM THE EVENT.

A WOMAN WILL SAY --

WHERE THE MAN IS SAYING,

"WHICH OPTION WILL WORK?

WHICH OPTION WON'T?"

THE WOMAN WILL SAY,

"WHICH OPTION

FEELS THE MOST COMFORTABLE?

WHICH ONE FEELS THE SAFEST?

WHICH ONE..." --

FORGET THE CONTEXT --

"WHICH ONE..."

AND THE WOMAN WILL BRING

THE MEMORIES FROM THE PAST

THROUGH A STRUCTURE IN

THE BRAIN, WHICH IS OVER HERE

CALLED THE INSULA, WHICH IS

MORE OR LESS ON THE SIDE

OF THE BRAIN OVER HERE

ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BRAIN.

IT IS A PART OF THE BRAIN THAT

BRINGS MEMORIES FROM THE PAST

WITH MEMORIES FROM

OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

INTO THE CONSCIOUS MIND.

SO LET'S SAY THERE HAS BEEN

A FINANCIAL SITUATION IN THE

PAST THAT ONE IS GONE THROUGH.

YOU SPOKE EARLIER ON

ABOUT PEOPLE THAT OFTEN

WHO HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL HAVE

GONE THROUGH MANY BANKRUPTCIES

AND THAT KIND OF THING.

WHEN A WOMAN EXPERIENCES --

IT COULD HAVE BEEN

IN HER CHILDHOOD,

NOT EVEN IN HER MARRIAGE,

THAT SHE WILL BRING THAT MEMORY

THROUGH TO THE CONSCIOUS MIND,

THROUGH THE STRUCTURE

OF THE BRAIN CALLED THE INSULA,

COLLAPSE IT IN TIME,

WITH ALL OF ITS EMOTIONS, THIS

HUGE INTERNET WEB-LIKE THING

AND THAT GETS THROWN

INTO THE EQUATION, AND THAT

THEN IS AS COMFORTABLE,

IS AS FAMILIAR, SOMETHING

LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE

SO SHE WEIGHS UP ALL OF THIS

POTENTIAL PERMUTATIONS WITH

HUGE DETAIL AND HUGE EMOTION.

WHEREAS THE MAN CAN TAKE THE

EMOTION, SEPARATE THE EMOTION

OUT OF THE ACTUAL FACT,

GET TO THE BOTTOM LINE SPEAK

AND ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT IN A --

NOW IF YOU JUST DID THAT

AND MADE A DECISION,

YOU'D MAKE A BAD DECISION.

IF YOU JUST MADE THE DECISION

BASED ON --

YOU'D MAKE A BAD DECISION.

WE NEED THE LOGICAL SEPARATION

OF EMOTION AND FACT,

WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION?

WHICH WILL WORK?

WHICH WILL NOT? PLUS WE NEED:

WHAT'S THE SAFEST?

WHAT'S THE MOST COMFORTABLE?

WHAT'S THE WORKING ORDER

OF PRIORITY?

WHAT WILL BUILD THE NEST EGG?

WHAT IS THE SAFETY?

-- TOGETHER.

James: THAT DEMANDS --

ABSOLUTELY DEMANDS

MUTUAL RESPECT.

IT DEMANDS SUBMIT YOURSELVES

ONE TO ANOTHER

IN THE FEAR OF GOD,

WHICH I BELIEVE, DR. LEAF,

STARTS WITH FIRST

SUBMITTING TO GOD.

I'M NOT SURE VERY MANY PEOPLE

ARE GOING TO FUNCTION

EFFECTIVELY IN RELATIONSHIP

AND IN APPRECIATION

FOR WHAT THE OTHER PART,

THE OTHER PERSON

BRINGS TO THE WHOLE

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT THIS

VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP IN ORDER

TO GET THE HORIZONTAL RIGHT.

I'M NOT SURE YOU'LL EVER HAVE

-- I DON'T EVEN THINK

ON PLANET EARTH WE'RE GOING

TO HAVE THE KIND OF MUTUAL

RESPECT WE NEED RACIALLY,

ACROSS SECTARIAN LINES

OR ACROSS POLITICAL LINES.

IT IS OBVIOUS OUR LEADERS

DON'T RESPECT EACH OTHER.

THEY'RE BOWING DOWN BEFORE

EITHER THEIR CONSTITUENTS

OR THEIR PREJUDICES RATHER THAN

REALLY HAVING A REAL DESIRE TO

HONOR IN BEHALF OF THE WHOLE,

TO REALLY LOVE PEOPLE.

AND THAT REALLY STARTS --

LOVE STARTS WITH GOD AND THEN

WITH AN HONOR FOR ONE ANOTHER.

THIS IS WHERE FINANCIAL STRESS

GETS HEALED WHEN YOU GET

THE STRESS IN RELATIONSHIP

WHEN YOU CAN APPRECIATE.

DR. LEAF GOES INTO GREAT DETAIL

ABOUT HOW WE THINK IN THE

WHO SWITCHED OFF YOUR BRAIN?

WHERE SHE IS REALLY TAKEN

AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME

TO TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN;

NOT ONLY THE OBVIOUS

THAT YOU SEE BUT THE ACTUAL

SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION

TO SHOW YOU WHY

THOSE DIFFERENCES ARE THERE

AND WHY THOSE DIFFERENCES

DON'T HAVE TO BE POINTS

OF DISSENSION AND DIVISION

BUT ACTUALLY HARMONY

AND HEALING.

DO YOU APPRECIATE WHAT

DR. LEAF HAS SHARED?

I'M REALLY THANKFUL

FOR THE INSIGHTS

THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE INSIGHT

AND UNDERSTANDING IN OUR LIVES.

LET ME TELL YOU WHY

WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING

BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE SEE

WHAT'S HAPPENING NATIONALLY.

EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED

ABOUT THE ECONOMY.

WELL, WE'RE GOING

TO BEGIN TO FIX THAT.

BY THE WAY, I'VE COMMITTED

A WHOLE LOT OF TIME, ALONG WITH

A GOOD FRIEND, TO TRY TO PUT

SOMETHING IN EVERYBODY'S HANDS

THAT'S GOING TO SHOW YOU

THE WHOLE PICTURE; THAT WILL

BE COMING IN A FEW WEEKS.

BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO

NOW, IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO

YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE

I LIVE IN MY WORLD, IN MY HOME,

MY FAMILY, HOW DO I GET

A STABLE SENSE OF SECURITY

IN MY OWN DECISIONS

AND WELL BEING,

HOW DO I MAKE GOOD DECISIONS

ABOUT WHAT I DO

IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING

THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND ME?

MORE than ENOUGH --

OUR SOURCE HAS

MORE THAN ENOUGH.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU

WISDOM AND DIRECTION.

WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE ASKED

OTHERS TO JOIN WITH US

IN A SERIES OF TEACHERS

TO GIVE YOU MESSAGES

AND INSTRUCTION

THAT WILL HELP YOU IN THE AREAS

OF THEIR STRENGTH.

IT IS LIKE DR. LEAF

WAS TALKING ABOUT.

WE'VE GOT ALL THESE

DIFFERENT BLESSED GIFTS.

UNTIL WE RECOGNIZE

AND APPRECIATE THEM

WE DON'T BRING THE BENEFIT

TOGETHER PROPERLY.

WE'VE REALLY TRIED TO COMPILE

A SERIES OF TEACHING

TO HELP YOU FACE THE FINANCIAL

CHALLENGES IN YOUR LIFE,

FIND OUT THAT GOD, HIS WISDOM

AND DIRECTION IS MORE THAN

ENOUGH FOR WHEREVER YOU ARE.

IF YOU'LL SIMPLY DO THIS --

AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU

TO DO IT, IT IS BASICALLY

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,

BE GENEROUS.

WE HAVE JUST HEARD

FROM THE MISSIONARIES

THAT WE HAVE GOT

AN INCREDIBLE THREAT

ON CHILDREN BELOW FIVE

THAT ARE GOING TO NEED

SPECIAL EMERGENCY NUTRITION.

THAT MEANS INTRAVENOUS FEEDING.

THAT MEANS THEY'RE GOING

TO NEED POWDERED MILK,

SOMETIMES SUGAR AND WATER.

THEY'RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING

TO STABILIZE THEM,

AND WE NEED OVER 400,000 MEALS.

THOSE LITTLE EMERGENCY FEEDINGS

COST 50 CENTS EACH.

WELL, IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG

TO COMPUTE THAT.

WE NEED A COUPLE HUNDRED

THOUSAND DOLLARS IMMEDIATELY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING

WE'D THOUGHT ABOUT.

SO HERE'S WHAT

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO.

YOU SIMPLY MAKE A GIFT

TO HELP US HELP OTHERS

AND WE'RE GOING TO SEND YOU

MORE than ENOUGH.

IF YOU'LL MAKE A GIFT OF $100,

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE WANT

TO SEND ALONG WITH THE BOOK,

ALONG WITH THE TEACHING,

THE CD'S,

WITH ALL OF THESE LESSONS,

WE'RE GOING TO SEND YOU

MONEY, GREED, AND GOD,

ONE OF THE MOST

IMPORTANT BOOKS

I THINK YOU'LL EVER READ.

WHO SWITCHED OFF YOUR BRAIN?

UNDERSTANDING HOW

THE MINDS WORK.

AND THEN MANY PEOPLE

HAVE COME TO ME AND SAID

WHAT RABBI LAPIN SHARED

OUT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

AS A JEWISH RABBI,

HE HAS SEVEN CHILDREN.

HE AND HIS WIFE

ARE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE.

HE SAYS IF PEOPLE WOULD ONLY

UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD,

THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD,

THE TRUTH OF GOD... UNSHAKABLE.

MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SAID,

"JAMES, I HAVE SO HIGHLIGHTED

IN THIS BOOK THAT I WISH

I COULD READ THE WHOLE BOOK

OR AT LEAST EVERY HIGHLIGHT

TO EVERY PERSON I GET AROUND.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?"

WELL, WE'RE ASKING YOU,

MAKE A GIFT OF $100.

YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MANY

OF THOSE NUTRITIOUS MEALS

WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET OUT

FOR THAT.

WE WANT TO SEND YOU SOMETHING

THAT WILL ENABLE YOU

TO BE BLESSED, TO HAVE

ENOUGH OF THE BLESSING OF GOD

TO BE ABLE TO MEET OTHER NEEDS

-- LEGITIMATE NEEDS.

ASK FOR THE MATERIAL.

JUST SAY, "LORD,

GIVE ME WISDOM."

I BELIEVE WE'RE OFFERING YOU

A REAL ANSWER TO THE PRAYER

THAT YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING,

"GOD, SHOW ME THE WAY."

AND THESE GIFTED

COMMUNICATORS AND TEACHERS,

JOINING TOGETHER TO HELP YOU.

I PRAY YOU'LL ASK FOR IT.

Announcer: IN RECENT WEEKS, WE'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE

YOUNG CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE

COMING TO OUR LIFE CENTERS, CLINICS, AND FEEDING STATIONS.

MOST ARE SEVERELY MALNOURISHED,

REQUIRING SPECIAL CARE TO PROPERLY FEED THEM.

MORTALITY RATES ARE QUICKLY ON THE RISE

AND IT IS A NEED THAT CERTAINLY CANNOT BE IGNORED.

WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN PROVIDE

AN ADDITIONAL 400,000 EMERGENCY NUTRITIONAL FEEDINGS

THAT ARE SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR CHILDREN UNDER FIVE,

INCLUDING POWDERED MILK AND INTRAVENOUS FEEDINGS.

AT A COST OF 50 CENTS PER MEAL

YOUR LIFE-SAVING GIFT OF $25, $50, OR $100 WILL HELP PROVIDE

Dr. Samuel: SO THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY FOOD.

WHATEVER THEY GET IS WHATEVER THEY PICK UP OVER HERE

OR SOMETHING THAT IS LYING DOWN... WHATEVER THEY FIND.

IF YOU SEE THAT CHILD,

IT'S A TYPICAL CHILD OF MALNOURISHMENT.

SHE'S GOT A SEVERE PROTEIN DEFICIENCY.

Kathy: BECAUSE OF THE EXTENDED BELLY?

Dr. Samuel: YES, EXTENDED BELLY. YOU SEE THE COLOR OF THE HAIR.

MOST OF THE CHILDREN'S HAIR COLOR THAT YOU SEE OVER HERE

IS AN EXTREME PROTEIN DEFICIENCY.

Announcer: THE QUESTION BECOMES WHAT CAN WE DO

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THESE LITTLE ONES

WHO ARE AT RISK OF DYING?

THE ANSWER IS IN HELPING TO PROVIDE THEM

WITH EMERGENCY NUTRITIONAL FEEDINGS.

WE WANT TO SEE THESE LITTLE ONES DO MORE

THAN JUST SURVIVE PAST THEIR FIFTH BIRTHDAY

BUT TO GROW UP HEALTHY AND STRONG

AND TO REACH THEIR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL.

WE NEED YOUR HELP SO THAT WE CAN REACH OUR GOAL

OF PROVIDING 400,000 EMERGENCY NUTRITIONAL FEEDINGS

FOR CLINICS AND LIFE CENTERS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD.

Kathy: IF THIS WAS HAPPENING WHERE I LIVE,

IT WOULD BE A RUSH TO THE TELEPHONES --

IT WOULD BE A 911 CALL.

THE NEED IS URGENT AND YOU CAN MEET THAT NEED.

James: WITH ALL MY HEART

I BELIEVE IF YOU GET

MORE than ENOUGH, THE TEACHING,

AND I BELIEVE OBVIOUSLY

WE CONTRIBUTE, I BELIEVE

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHARE,

VERY IMPORTANT, BUT I'VE ASKED

OTHERS WHO REALLY ARE GIFTED

TO TAKE A PARTICULAR AREA AND

YOU MAY JUST HEAR ONE MESSAGE.

LIKE YOU LISTEN TO SOME OF

THE THINGS OUR PASTOR,

ROBERT MORRIS SHARES

ON THE BLESSED LIFE CAN TURN

YOUR WHOLE LIFE AROUND.

YOU LISTEN TO THE TEACHINGS

OF ALL THESE OTHERS,

JUST LISTEN,

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING

OR SEVERAL THINGS SHARED

THAT COULD TOTALLY CHANGE

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

WE LOVE YOU

AND WE THANK GOD FOR YOU!

JOIN BETTY AND ME IN THANKING,

ALONG WITH OUR AUDIENCE,

DR. CAROLINE LEAF.
