EP: 7 "Almost Candy Time”

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,960
Howdy, and welcome to Episode 7 of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right here in Fairview

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,520
for people in Fairview and the surrounding areas.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,000
This is a weekly show released every Wednesday featuring stories that aim to inform and inspire.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,460
Local radio stations don't exist in small towns like ours or even our newspaper, so we

5
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:24,880
use Hello Fairview to fill that void with news related to Fairview.

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,760
This is a value for value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,580
you receive? This concept was founded by the podfather himself, Adam Curry, and his co-host

8
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:41,440
John C. Dvorak from the No Agenda Show almost 18 years ago. Currently, this is just a one-man

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,260
operation. If you have any other ideas, events, business opportunities, job openings, don't hesitate

10
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:51,740
to let me know. You are a producer of the show. You are not a product because your time and

11
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:57,300
attention are not being sold for advertisers for value. Some shows will be longer, some short

12
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:00,420
Shows will be shorter, but I'll do my best to keep things relevant.

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:16,860
This was the first episode in which a commissioner reached out and a youth activity leader and a citizen even reached out about some stuff that they had heard on the show and wanted to make sure that we had called out.

14
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:20,340
So that was pretty cool to have happened for the first time.

15
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:21,540
All right.

16
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:22,300
Traffic time.

17
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:29,080
uh normal busy cumberland 100 have been much better as school has been cooking along here so

18
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,020
that's been great uh they're still going to continue to be more closures there was a post

19
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:38,260
from the fairview uh city page that was also posted from fairview or from dixon and from

20
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:43,520
another person at fairview then and now which listed a bunch of things related to our area on

21
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,280
the west side but really i mean there wasn't really any new details that we hadn't really heard

22
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,100
so we'll have to keep watching that red lights we still got three one at old cox publics and walmart

23
00:01:55,100 --> 00:02:01,360
soon we'll get one at city city city center entrance i guess maybe once they get the road

24
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,100
paved and maybe a couple things built in there but the poles are all up and then cumberland and

25
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:10,920
100 there'll be another one there so we'll see how that goes if it's going to hurt or help traffic as

26
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:18,220
it is so we'll go from there future projects i'm still always on the hunt to learn more about the

27
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:26,260
projects and TDOT and how they are working for us or against us on Highway 100. And so we got

28
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:30,480
someone to reach out this week that gave us some new links that are going to be in the show notes.

29
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,960
And when it comes to the widening project on Highway 100, this has been around since 2018.

30
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:42,800
And so this is not a new request, but there are some links below here that tell you about the TDOT

31
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,080
project, but more importantly, the GNRC, which actually shows you how much money is being spent

32
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,640
on things. And so one of the projects that was started in 2023, 6902, which is the 3R improvement

33
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:05,440
program is $954,000. This one doesn't show up when searching Fairview and a keyword on the GNRC

34
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,980
website or even under TDOT. But if you look at it the other way, it's there.

35
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:18,420
then there's another project which is 2019-6214 which talks about the widening from buoy lake road

36
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:28,320
to 840 and that is 54 million dollars and it was funded back in 2019 and 2023 and it just has 2.4

37
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,940
million dollars of the required 54 million so i guess that means it's definitely not happening

38
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:41,800
anytime soon. There's a couple links to our old newspaper, Main Street Fairview,

39
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:49,260
about the 2024 article about trying to widen the road and all the controversy, and then also one

40
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:54,900
from 2018 that someone else sent in. The Sidewalk Project, the Cumberland Intersection Project are

41
00:03:54,900 --> 00:04:00,460
all glued together. We're going to keep watching that. We're growing. So first thing, city news.

42
00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:04,620
We had a commissioner update, a commissioner that reached out to us on the board.

43
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:12,900
They wanted to call out the health department, which is back open across from the elementary school, has recently been renovated and is ready to help you.

44
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:18,700
They have a stock of vaccines if needed, as well as other medical services, so please go check them out.

45
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:29,020
Fall news started on November 4th with Fairview Public Works will start their leaf pickup on that day.

46
00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:32,440
So leaves must be in a biodegradable bag placed at the curbside.

47
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:36,640
If you don't have the right bags, you can pick them up at the planning and codes department,

48
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:40,860
which is between the Masonic Lodge and the fire department as you enter Bowie Park.

49
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:44,720
The Fairview Police Department is still doing their shop with a cop program.

50
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,500
The applications are still open.

51
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,720
You can go pick them up at the Fairview Police Department 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

52
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:55,360
Apple applications must be completed along with the participant information form for each

53
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,180
towel returned no later than 4 p.m. on November 14th so you got about two weeks we continue to

54
00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:06,760
give thanks to our local businesses and their support throughout the year and fundraising and

55
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,620
donations and make it there too so they do a really good job and if you need any other help

56
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:17,420
with donations with the police department you can drop their stuff out their p.o box 69 here at

57
00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:27,140
fairview so that's good too all right so uh town meetings so um we had uh no board of zoning

58
00:05:27,140 --> 00:05:33,600
appeals the planning commission not one new since the last time 10 14 183 homes were approved

59
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:42,940
board of commissioners uh update from the uh six uh from the 16th was basically uh we talked about

60
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:48,080
that in the last show, which was the city reports, the thoroughfare plan, the farmer's market approval.

61
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:54,340
So check out episode six if you want the full rundown. And October is also the last month of

62
00:05:54,340 --> 00:06:00,340
this chipper service stuff that's going on. But then we had the board of commissioner town hall

63
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:08,320
meeting, which was on 1028. And so the recap of that is we basically had two people do public

64
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,160
comments one at the beginning and she talked about the farmer's market and was asking about

65
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,340
the historic village talking about the appraisal the grant process price power all the other items

66
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:25,400
related to that project but everyone's responses from mayor anderson and mr mcdonald were um

67
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,080
basically not that detailed and they said they're just waiting for this so some of these things

68
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,080
haven't been ironed out like where their plugs are how much the plug is going to be all that

69
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,740
kind of stuff. Another gentleman that came up and was basically talked about, um, if asked if they

70
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:45,960
ever turn anyone down for rezoning, uh, which is a very valid question. And Mayor Anderson said all

71
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:53,060
the time. Um, but if you've been paying attention for the past couple months or years, uh, it's a

72
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:59,180
very low percentage. I'm still working with the team to get a big list of that. Um, but it's there.

73
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:05,060
and then they talked about the rezoning of the pinewood road property how it came in as rs40

74
00:07:05,060 --> 00:07:11,460
and then was approved to be annexed to the city and was rezoned to rs10 at the same time chris and

75
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:18,720
lisa both talked about things coming in and annexed into the city come in as rs40 the builder needed

76
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:25,360
rs10 because of the land because there isn't as many goods there isn't a good amount of or there

77
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,420
is a good amount of unbuildable area so then the lots would be too big and would it conform

78
00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:36,700
to rs40 so they will conform to rs10 with some lots being bigger and some lots being there he

79
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:42,720
also talked about the lot of dump trucks going up glenhaven drive and uh to dogwood and uh you know

80
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,020
there's not really any way to stop them chris and uh mayor mr mcdonald and mayor anderson both

81
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:53,840
talked about this and there's not too much they can do so it kind of is what it is especially

82
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:09,680
while this construction is going on at Cumberland and 100 Mayor Anderson responded to a bunch of questions also talked about the theater and how the Fairview High School and the Fairview Community Theater both have shows

83
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,120
the following weekend on the 6th, 7th, and 8th. So she talked about the Fairview Community Theater,

84
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:24,180
which is a Jekyll and Hyde on the 6th, 7th, and 8th. Vice Mayor McDonald talked about

85
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:29,980
the game of the week and voting for it which looks like voting closed today at lunchtime so we won

86
00:08:29,980 --> 00:08:35,360
thursday night is the regional championship for region seven for high school so make sure and be

87
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,480
there titan cheer is going to be there uh doing a routine their competition routine during halftime

88
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:48,300
so that'll be good uh there's they are two weeks out for the next uh tpudc zoning work which is the

89
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:52,440
new revised zoning for the city of Fairview.

90
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,160
And they said that they were two weeks out,

91
00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:57,480
but they don't know if that's going to be enough time for the workshop.

92
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,500
So the stuff may get pushed out on that,

93
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:04,380
which is good because we actually need to make sure we have all reviewed these

94
00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:07,160
new zones before we start voting on them.

95
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,600
We also talked about the time,

96
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480
someone asked about the timeline question to the new fair,

97
00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:13,720
welcome to Fairview signs.

98
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,760
And there was no new yet news yet there.

99
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:26,200
Commissioner Roberts talked about the high school rumors, which is the same time, November 6th, 7th, and 8th at 7 p.m. and 2 p.m. on the 8th, too.

100
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,480
We put all this on the calendar on the website, so if you need it, it's there.

101
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,260
The show notes both have links to each one to buy tickets.

102
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:40,940
She also asked about veterans recognition at the high school this year, and Mayor Anderson said they are not having it this year.

103
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:48,020
Commissioner Buffalini talked about the trunk retreat at First Baptist tonight on the 29th.

104
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:52,600
And One Church Home is having OCH Fest, which is food and a carnival tonight also.

105
00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:56,740
Fall Forward is happening this weekend, so make sure and fix your clocks.

106
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:04,480
He also congratulated some of the Franklin winners of the ward electionship for the city of Franklin down there.

107
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,920
we don't have any meeting meeting notes from the 29th meeting by tp udc

108
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,100
so they're going to have to reach out for that

109
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:20,180
and then there was a big talk back and forth

110
00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:28,040
about who's responsible for city lights and that there was an hoa that was having a big hoa price

111
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,260
increase and they said it was eleven thousand dollars more a year because they were paying for

112
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:37,820
the street lights. The city manager chimed in along with Manerson and a couple other people

113
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:45,680
went back and forth and said that if it's part of an HOA that they are doing it. And if the

114
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:50,960
street's owned by the city, the city pays for those light power. And if it's owned by the developer,

115
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,240
the HOA, then they pay for it. So it's kind of there. Mr. Hall, Commissioner Hall talked about

116
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,660
how you could vote more than once for the team for this football game of the week.

117
00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:05,940
and then talked about meeting up with a former representative and how things are going well with

118
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:10,020
the city so that was good so next meetings planning commission doesn't have anything

119
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:14,180
till november 18th board of commissioners doesn't have anything to the 6th or the 20th

120
00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:21,620
with that tpudc zoning or review may be happening the 6th or it might actually be happening the 20th

121
00:11:22,340 --> 00:11:28,980
board of commissioners town hall was yesterday so there's not one until next month parks and

122
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:33,960
Landscape board is November 3rd at 7 p.m. at the Historic Village.

123
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:36,000
There's no agenda for that.

124
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,860
You just got to go to it.

125
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:39,380
Around Town Coffee is scheduled for November 12th.

126
00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:41,980
And we have a special edition for November.

127
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:43,740
We have a beer board meeting.

128
00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:50,300
This only happens when an applicant applies in the city to sell adult beverages.

129
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:58,940
So Darshan Chudgar from Padma LLC, which is T-Mart on Highway 96, which is basically the

130
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:02,360
shell station as soon as you come off I-40 and 96 at the red light.

131
00:12:02,980 --> 00:12:07,580
They had to also, in this application, what's kind of interesting, they had to list where

132
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:12,040
the nearest school, church, or daycare, or nursery is, which is Loblawley Preschool,

133
00:12:12,460 --> 00:12:14,220
which is down near Crocutt Road.

134
00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:21,260
they requested an off premises permit which means they sell beer that you drink or beverages you

135
00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:27,640
drink not on property versus on premise permit which is where you would have it for a bar or

136
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,940
restaurant so the notes for that beer board and that agenda and applicant stuff is in the show

137
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:39,220
notes the state of tennessee the memphis national guard is still doing things reports of over a

138
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:44,300
thousand arrests have been made. So we'll see how that keeps going. And also Memphis, the school

139
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:51,080
board is working on a bill that will allow recall of elected leaders in that area for mayors,

140
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,300
county commissioners, school board members, and others. So that's bill number 1448. If you want

141
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:05,680
to look it up more, it's pretty good. Then we had a former representative, Robin Smith,

142
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,980
sentenced to eight months in federal prison for her role in a corruption conspiracy case.

143
00:13:11,460 --> 00:13:15,720
This doesn't make national news, but I think it's good that their accountability is there

144
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,440
and justice is working there. The Tennessee Department of Education released the 2024 to 2025

145
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:32,300
graduation rate data for the state. There was 92.3% from 92.1%, so they grew 0.2%.

146
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:42,740
There was also lots of stats that there was a ton of counties that had 99% or a couple of counties that had 99, most had 95, and kind of talked about some of that stuff.

147
00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:49,440
So December 2nd is the final special election vote for the 7th U.S. House District seat.

148
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:53,440
Afton Ben and Matt Van Epps on the Republican side.

149
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:55,960
So based on the primary results, we'll see how that all goes.

150
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,160
More news of going back and forth have been going about.

151
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,700
The Music City Hole, Music City Loop is still digging and they're making more holes.

152
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,620
City Council is reporting a significant lack of transparency regarding the project running through their district.

153
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,720
And it was approved at the state level instead of at the city metro level.

154
00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:25,740
The airport released a video this week talking about Terminal 2, which will have 70 more gates on 300 acres just south of the airport, which will be start around 2038.

155
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:32,140
and we have the link in there from the news station to watch that video and go there too.

156
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:39,280
The bills. So this is what we have for this week. Nothing super cool. October 23rd, just a little

157
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,660
bit before there, we had ways and means, but coming up, there was no notes on that. We talked

158
00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:49,940
about that last one. October 30th, November 5th, and November 5th twice, we have the advisory on

159
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:55,960
the K-12 education. We have a fiscal review and we have a federal education deregulation

160
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,580
cooperations task force on November 5th. So those are the three things coming up there.

161
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,820
How's the hill? Back at it. It's definitely passable. Fall is rocking. Running noses are

162
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:14,680
abundant with now lows in the high 30s to 40s and highs in the 50s to 60s. The weather gurus

163
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,040

164

182
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,220
we're going to talk about Sullivan road. The Sullivan family is attached to the triangle

183
00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:14,540
school, which was built in the triangular shape lot in 1939 across from the rec center. This,

184
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:20,100
The first principal was Nellie Walker Sullivan, or maybe Nell.

185
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:21,120
It might be Nell.

186
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:31,560
And three other Sullivans, Vella Sullivan, Pegram, Madeline Sullivan, Wallace, and Awful Sullivan were other notable teachers.

187
00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:36,000
Nell Walker Sullivan taught to the school for over 50 years.

188
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,980
so and if you notice also the sullivans have a big century farm thing uh on 100 and have been

189
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:50,820
around fairview for a very very very long time so awesome stuff upcoming events so recap first uh

190
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:57,300
trunk or treat at buoy park was on october 25th great success lots of kids candies businesses and

191
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:03,740
families out there it was great awesome costumes my favorite was the icy kid and a joe dirt i think

192
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:10,040
Mario, Spider-Man, Wednesday, and Paw Patrol characters won in pure volume with the people

193
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,900
that had the most costumes going over and over again. I think it was a little bit fewer people

194
00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:21,560
than last year. And I think that's because more and more events are going on on that exact day

195
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,020
and throughout that week, along with so many things are going on, it's really hard to kind

196
00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:32,200
of find out what's going on. And so we'll see how that goes. And then also last week was the

197
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:38,200
Middle Tennessee Veterans Coalition on October 21st at Crosspoint Dixon. Had an okay turnout.

198
00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:43,100
The VA was there, which was good since I thought they might not come because of the government

199
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:50,260
shutdown still going. So that was awesome. So our upcoming events, you know, Dixon has their 2025

200
00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:56,760
Veterans Day parade on Sunday, November 9th in downtown, leaves at 10 a.m. November 10th is the

201

202
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:09,000
In our town, we have the fall market at the Fairview High School on November 15th at 9 a.m.

207
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:39,020
need that for the kids. We had one of the youth leaders reach out from the Cub Scouts underneath

208
00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:44,080
the Scouts BSA program to make sure we were announcing it, and we definitely are, because

209
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,020
there's lots and lots of activities to do here in Fairview. No matter what your kid's into,

00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920
And then finally, Camo on Thursday.

244
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,060
So the annual pumpkin patch is also still going

245
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:42,600
to October 31st.

246
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:44,360
There's hardly any pumpkins left.

247
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,700
So I think that's a great sign.

248
00:22:45,780 --> 00:22:46,800
I think they're almost sold out.

249
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,540
And that's over at Apex Bank from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day.

250
00:22:50,540 --> 00:22:53,420

00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:55,680

00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,920

263
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,760
Congratulations to the high school

264
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,400

266
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:10,160
second place field commander, and third place overall,

267
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:15,860
which was the first for Fairview at the Forest School competition in Chapel Hill just last week.

268
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:18,500
The construction and ag classes are rock and rolling,

269
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,320
so keep an eye out for hunting blinds and dog houses.

270
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,800
The ag class is getting ready for some FFA events.

271
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,380
The NASP archery team under the ROTC team is kicking off.

272
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,140
If you have any students that are driving, make sure they send an email to the principal

273
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:38,200
and then get the Schoolology link to the Checkpoints driving training

274
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,180
and make sure you get your parking pass so they can do that.

275
00:24:41,860 --> 00:24:43,000
So that was good there too.

276
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,580
And faith moment.

277
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,500
This one is a little bit different than the past couple

278
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,520
because we've had some long sermons and short sermons.

279
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,120
This is three quick clips that came up this week

280
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,540
that I think may be relevant to many married couples.

281
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,980
This first one that we're going to go to talks about kids

282
00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:03,500
and how they become the center of the marriage instead of God and each other.

283
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:08,180
And that may be setting up a time bomb for when your kids move out,

284
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:12,200
which is why many divorces happen at 20 to 25 years

285
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,660
and not 7 and 15 in those middle times.

286
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,740
Here's what sometimes happens.

287
00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:20,660
A marriage will start with a wife prioritizing her husband.

288
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,720
Then kids come along and he becomes a priority and she starts to say things like this.

289
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,740
Sometimes I hear in the lobby and let's just not say this ever again.

290
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,720
She starts to say things, you know, husband and kids are in the room and she says something about the kids.

291
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,760
And she says, oh, points to her husband and goes, oh, he knows his place.

292
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,940
Or in the lobby, they'll say something and they'll just say, oh, he knows my baby's come first.

293
00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:49,540
So the marriage started with the husband as the priority,

294
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:51,120
but now the kids are the priority,

295
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,200
so they become the priority.

296
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,520
They get the best energy.

297
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,860
You're too tired for fun or for intimacy.

298
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,760
Maybe they're even sleeping in the same bed as you

299
00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,780
for years and years and years.

300
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:01,960
And listen, maybe short time, medical reason,

301
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,480
emotional reason, parenting choice,

302
00:26:03,620 --> 00:26:05,840
short time, limited time, that's fine.

303
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,320
But listen, for years and years and years,

304
00:26:07,420 --> 00:26:09,500
listen, hey, dear sir, dear ma'am,

305
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:12,000
there should be things happening in your bed

306
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,200
that would scar your children for life if they saw that.

307
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,760
So we need to, hey, let's make sure

308
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,500
that the priority's in the right spot.

309
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,520
So this is what happens.

310
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,940
And then what happens is the husband gets jealous

311
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:25,000
because jealousy literally means somebody else is in my place.

312
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,120
So he starts to get jealous.

313
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,860
Out of his jealousy and resentment,

314
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:29,660
he starts prioritizing his career.

315
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,660
You're gonna do the kids, I'm gonna do the career.

316
00:26:32,060 --> 00:26:33,700
So then when the kids go to college,

317
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,820
the thing that she was all about is gone

318
00:26:35,820 --> 00:26:37,400
and he's not all about her anymore.

319
00:26:37,580 --> 00:26:39,480
So when they go to college, you pulled the pin on a grenade

320
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,980
and that's why a ton of divorces happen

321
00:26:41,980 --> 00:26:44,780
not at year three or seven, they happen at year 20 and 25.

322
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:52,240
See, if you start to make your whole marriage about the kids and the kids are first, hey, guys, heads up, kids are leaving someday.

323
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,060
Kids are leaving someday.

324
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,440
So if you make the marriage about the thing that's going to leave, you are building in a landmine that you are going to detonate someday.

325
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,140
Welcome back.

326
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,800
This next one is about marriage and how women need to help support their husbands.

327
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,780
And that support can really go a long way to helping them.

328
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:16,440
Ladies, hear this, okay?

329
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,080
If you're a wife, look at me.

330
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:23,840
Let all the defenses down, because that's what tends to happen.

331
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:31,300
The words of encouragement on the lips of a wife are like gold in the heart of a husband.

332
00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:34,220
I just don't have, I just can't even explain it.

333
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:41,240
And listen, every man you talk to, inside of him is both a king and a jester.

334
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,820
and you're going to get the one you talk to.

335
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:47,000
And so you can consistently use your words

336
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,660
to crown him or to shame him.

337
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:53,180
And guys aren't real good at saying,

338
00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:55,160
hey, babe, I need to talk about my feelings.

339
00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:58,120
I think I'm in a spiritual depression

340
00:27:58,120 --> 00:27:58,940
and I'm not believing.

341
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,880
It doesn't usually go that way.

342
00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:04,020
But ladies, you're intuitive and you're smart.

343
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,600
And you've got to understand

344
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,840
that the dude is not good for him to be alone.

345
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,900
So he sent you.

346
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:17,840
To be wise, to discern, to see through what he is saying, to see what he's actually saying,

347
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,120
so that you can be an echo of what God wants to say to the brother and speak life into it.

348
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,120
And last but not least, this is another good one about marriage,

349
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,560
about some things that you can make a blueprint for for divorce.

350
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,840
These four things need to be agreed on, faith, money, parenting, and extended family,

351
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:40,800
and getting really good at forgiveness and always keep dating.

352
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,420
I got some of this in most of the services, but this is really important.

353
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:47,140
And we'll be very raw here.

354
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,160
So like, very frankly, the blueprint we need to be looking for, according to the Bible,

355
00:28:51,380 --> 00:28:55,820
the husband's primary orientation needs to be towards the marketplace provider.

356
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,800
The wife's primary orientation needs to be towards the home.

357
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:02,260
I'm not saying that it's wrong for a woman to work.

358
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,140
We're not saying that a woman's place is the home.

359
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,280
What we are saying is that according to the Bible, a wife's priority does need to be the home.

360
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,340
you need to agree on this stuff up front. So number one, get your blueprint right. Because

361
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:19,680
if she's got career woman, girl boss in her head and you've got, man, I want to build a family and

362
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,660
have a, you know, that you're going to have a problem. There's four things that every marriage

363
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:30,120
needs to agree on. And the divorce rates just go insanely down. I think it's faith, money,

364
00:29:30,220 --> 00:29:34,660
parenting, and then extended family. And then the last thing I would say is you need to figure out

365
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:38,740
how to get real good at doing conflict and forgiveness.

366
00:29:39,260 --> 00:29:41,480
When a man dates his wife,

367
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,400
first of all, that's the pattern of Song of Solomon.

368
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:46,680
The pursuit doesn't stop when the marriage happens.

369
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:47,920
The pursuit continues.

370
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,280
You want to have a happy marriage, like invest in it.

371
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Hey, the grass isn't greener on the inside of the fence,

372
00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:54,400
the grass is greener where you water it.

373
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,920
What you want to do, man of God,

374
00:29:57,260 --> 00:29:59,860
is you want to craft a marriage

375
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:04,000
where you're going to be so happy and have so much fun

376
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,760
being 80, sitting in a rocking chair,

377
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,380
holding hands with grandkids and great grandkids,

378
00:30:11,540 --> 00:30:13,200
running around your backyard.

379
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,020
Hey, man, that's happiness.

380
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,540
Welcome back.

381
00:30:15,620 --> 00:30:17,120
I know that was definitely a little bit different,

382
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:19,440
but I hope this helps some couples out there.

383
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,100
All right, now to donations.

384
00:30:22,580 --> 00:30:24,800
On the donations fronts, nothing new from Fountain.

385
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:27,460

386
