l o l welcome to the army base to up close and personal this is the us your host here to take you through this musical dance we call life and to do that you know i've got some wonderful guest to give us tips to help us make it through today is a special show it's actually part two of the show we did with j david brat because now we have the woman that keeps him all together the beautiful and phenomenal woman who is you know after behind rather every good man there is a good woman so miss the  breton is just beautiful talented just an awesome woman of god and together they make this a spectacular couple so mr lena thank you so much for being here thank you for having me girl now i have to tell them that we do know each other we met some years ago we actually sang together and well we actually almost died together more hanno so we were going to win them for one minute and we're going to jump in to fill ina and let you all tell me if i have the story correctly because you know it was way back and that if anything bonds us as a little boy ever who ever ever ever so your kids tell me i'm sorry for the proper english and i'm going to get killed by the people who produce me up before get like still like we would shake it we were shaking we were shaken but anyway look to god is real and he's been real in the two of these people's lives for as long as i can remember when i met you guys i was like that's the most loving couple of so tell back up and tell us but you said you were dana as an elder but those of us out there who don't understand what does it mean well it just means that i have shown to have a certain gravity within the word of god and able to articulate it in such a way that will bring the fish and just to be that kind of person that's rooted in grounded in the word of god and not something like this is a win more this is a hobby or a joke or anything like that but this is my lifestyle this is my life yeah yeah so do you find it hard because there's so many forces outside in the world that play against couples absolutely and if you not tell me about that if you're not rooted first if the thing is is that the reason why there are so many forces coming after the couples is because if you go back to the word of god when satan was still lucifer and when he was expelled from helmand the first thing that he did he could have killed all the animals you could have polluted the water he could have tried to destroy the earth and with the first thing he did was to destroy the relationship between the husband and wife and the relationship between the husband and god so the first thing he tries the do all the time and there's nothing new under the sun so everything that he does is geared toward trying to destroy your family  and so if you have that in mind then you're smore so in tune and aware of when people are coming to you because sometimes you have what i call all wool people say wolf in sheep's clothing but then there are some willing w you won't see yeah and you just  no no he's going yes he's good oh no he doesn't he know so is he romantic as he seems like he's romantic he's very romantic now god is in the myths yes and god always been the be in the midst of a marriage yes so is god in mr romance all the time just what was it yes was it yesterday just yesterday he called me up at the blue and gave me is said and said what we're going to do when i got off work i was like i felt like a teenager so it's like god is in the midst because we are one so i was look at marriage as all and i was with my daughter our daughter when she went to seminary and i was in this class and the teacher was teaching about marriage and he said marriage is the representation of god on the earth because god is androgynous he's not male nor female wrestler and love it so when we come together as one we al and no one to stop talking so you can listen yes and not listen to to get your point across well let me listen for my angle listen to really hear what the person the sa oh yeah if you i feel like if you're listening and you're communicating and you never want to lose that spark that's between him and so you have to look at your partner with new eyes every day that's interesting yeah yeah you do that david absolutely it's you know you have to every day continuously you know try to think of things that would just be nice to do you know don't so i certain days in the year come along and we do certain things but all the other days are important to us right you know as if you could just do you know little helpful things throughout the week or from time to time you know a simple thing you know let me make it watch you running late let me blah blah blah whatever help you can do you know and then you know find time and try to do as many things together to me especially in music ministry you gotta do stuff together because when you do it together you're both they're getting the experience and then you have something to talk about if i am for ever like i try to take my wife as much as i can to do more traveling in the summer because i know that's when she can go or during the christmas holidays when she can travel with me but because she travels then we can have something to talk about way whereas if i go by myself i come back with this whole set of experiences that she knows nothing about  do it ourselves but she has a mutual respect for both of us yes and to me that's very important yeah so how do you stay positive and focus as a couple with all that the cars and things of life those you know and working working in you know working in second in the secular world and and working in the church and how do you you know because there's all kinds of forces that can come against all kinds of things that can happen to your life so how do you keep in positive how do you keep her positive one thing we do is we spend time with other very well connected married couples yes that stop you right there yeah so i hear this and i want to have a relationship show yes i want to have one a night in radio some of the work towards that but anyway ken married people have single for you know it's just it's it's it can be very unhealthy you know and sometimes you may have relationships with single people because those enhance the body of christ for all those people that are in the sacred us department within any church or whatever it is that they do whether they write music whether they're saying whether they do liturgical dance our production theater puppetry whatever it is it is spoken word whatever it is that you do they come to ballpark and then we teach them how to be better with their gifts things and we often bring in your speakers we talk about health awareness like you are not how you minister and you know a good steward over your body yes well and your health yes how do you not own you know what you're looking is how you look a pendulum like you look fabulous and train your pendulum swing has to be first listen to those songs you actually thought they were love songs right until you really listen totally it was because i remember when i first heard them and liked it but they told him i got that right and i sounds wonderful yes you know so ok so oh absolutely we got some stuff i was in the studio yesterday are worked on a song that is like my first house music gospel song you know anybody yeah man he was supposed to come on the show with another group he had his scheduled in and see i wasn't even paying attention to any of that wow i have a problem we talked about this on and show when you go in the club they play in gospel music yeah and it sounds secular yeah so you first you start to do this and you go r can't do it yeah you know when i hear it in his house up first well house music is wonderful is not my cup of tea right so when i hear it i get ready to go back and yeah because that's the way i was raised right me too but if you listen to the message but while getting ready for took them with us everywhere we went in and so the boys bring that already i want to have something for afghan my demographic is eighteen to forty five well and because i want you know there to be something for everybody i feel has this is this is a give back show it's not it's a show that helps you reach out for your dreams  given i bring people want to give them a blueprint for me and so this particular show like i said it's special because it's about relationships when our favorite things i love relationships and i think communication is so important in any but i'm sure she absolutely you know so that's why i'll talk about that from time to because we've always been pretty you know pretty you know comfortable where we were but god is opening doors for us to do television on a much wider a much larger level we're traveling  many countries every praises sixty countries in one hundred twenty languages and many of the other songs are being sung and italy portugal and spain china japan you know so i do predictions on this show you for coming by and stopping here hang out with us make sure you tell somebody to tell somebody to come on back to be sure again it's never too late to live your dreams that when you do when you do i'll be there to encourage if i mean all social media take care we love
