See you soon. 00:04:23 Nice job, Lena. Well done. 00:04:25 OK, so now let’s . . . 00:04:35 You wanted to see me? 00:04:36 Lena, come on in. 00:04:38 Thanks. 00:04:40 Great job this morning. 00:04:42 Thank you. 00:04:43 Yeah, really well done. 00:04:44 And what we saw in there confirms something that we’ve been thinking about for a while. 00:04:48 About what? 00:04:50 A TV network wants to do a new reality series. 00:04:53 That’s right. 00:04:53 In each episode we do a project for a customer. 00:04:56 They want a cast from among our designers and builders, 00:04:59 and they need a young person to host. 00:05:02 Hello. 00:05:03 Lena, you’re our top pick. 00:05:05 Listen, this can change your life. 00:05:07 We want you to think it over, but we need to know soon. 00:05:09 Sorry, Lena. 00:05:10 Vanessa, where are we at with Main Street? 00:05:23 Generation of Design —premiering tonight at 8:30 central. 00:05:34 Generation of Design—all new season. 00:05:37 Tonight at 8:30 central. 00:05:40 Sorry it didn’t work out, Lena. 00:05:43 We had to go with a new host this year. 00:05:46 “Do not set your mind on lofty things, 00:05:50 but be led along with the lowly things.” 00:05:55 I could sacrifice all these spiritual things, 00:05:57 and I still might not make it in the business world. 00:06:02 But even if it did work out, I’d be worse off. 00:06:06 Either way, I don’t want to give up spiritual things. 00:06:10 OK, where were we? 00:06:12 Lena, this sounds big, right? 00:06:15 It does. 00:06:17 And I know this seems quick, 00:06:19 but my mind is already set on some big things. 00:06:21 So thank you so much, but I just can’t do both. 00:06:34 Hey. 00:06:35 Hey. 00:06:35 Are you ready to go? 00:06:37 Uh, yeah, but where’s your car? 00:06:40 Are you serious? 00:06:41 Your car is busted again? 00:06:43 You need a new car, Man. 00:06:44 Can your parents drive us? 00:06:46 Or . . . 00:06:47 Oh, they’re at a study right now. 00:06:48 We can walk. They’ll meet us there. 00:06:49 The bakery is just down the street. 00:06:51 We’ll pick something up for the Rudenkos. 00:06:53 All right. 00:06:58 Hey, do you want some coffee? 00:06:59 Uh, yeah, sure. 00:07:00 OK. 00:07:01 Thanks. 00:07:03 Hey, could I have two coffees and a box of tarts? 00:07:10 Thanks so much. 00:07:11 You’re welcome. 00:07:12 Your coffees will be ready in a moment. 00:07:15 I’m just waiting on our drinks. 00:07:18 Hey, what are you so into? 00:07:20 Bro! 00:07:21 They just released the entire season two. 00:07:22 Let’s binge-watch this weekend. 00:07:26 Yeah, I don’t watch that show anymore. 00:07:28 It started getting weird. 00:07:29 All the heroes live together in that house and date each other. 00:07:33 Right, but it’s about the action scenes. 00:07:36 It’s not like it shows them having sex. 00:07:40 Your order’s up! 00:07:41 Your coffees are ready. 00:07:42 I’ll get it. 00:07:53 Here you go. 00:07:54 Thanks, Man. 00:07:55 Hey, Jake, about the show, 00:07:58 here’s a scripture that helped me out—Romans 12:2. 00:08:03 Right. 00:08:04 That one says: “Stop being molded by this system of things.” 00:08:07 But you know I wouldn’t do those things. 00:08:10 Yeah, but it also says: 00:08:12 “Be transformed by making your mind over.” 00:08:16 I honestly felt that that show 00:08:19 was making my mind over in the wrong direction. 00:08:23 OK, but you’d still do what’s right. 00:08:25 Sure, but let’s say, for example, 00:08:29 you’re interested in someone, let’s say, Vicky. 00:08:34 Maybe. 00:08:36 Well, imagine the two of you start dating. 00:08:41 You’d find good ways to get to know each other 00:08:45 and see each other in different situations. 00:08:50 But if your mind isn’t fully made over to Jehovah’s way, 00:08:55 how far might you go? 00:09:06 OK, I see your point. 00:09:11 But I’m still not convinced it’d trip me up. 00:09:13 Yeah, but it’s worth thinking about. 00:09:48 I saw you looking at Dennis. 00:09:51 Please—you and Jake were inseparable. 00:09:53 He is cute and doing pretty good spiritually. 00:09:57 Pretty good or really good? 00:09:59 Let’s just say good. 00:10:00 Besides, it’s not like we’re dating; it’s just observing. 00:10:03 That’s good to hear, girls. 00:10:05 You’re both still young. 00:10:08 But you can’t help but notice. 00:10:11 The spirituality or the looks? 00:10:16 Hey, Mom, what was the first thing that you noticed about Dad? 00:10:20 Oh, well . . . 00:10:22 Oh, I wasn’t the first one she noticed. 00:10:24 What? 00:10:25 Oh, you have to tell us. 00:10:28 OK. 00:10:31 His name was Tony, 00:10:33 and it was definitely looks first. 00:10:54 Whoa! 00:10:56 Cool off. 00:11:00 But then her parents said, “You need to look deeper.” 00:11:03 Yeah, 00:11:05 they definitely gave me a lot to think about. 00:11:09 The verse at Proverbs 31:30 had a big impact on me. 00:11:15 It says: “Charm may be false, and beauty may be fleeting, 00:11:20 but the woman who fears Jehovah will be praised.” 00:11:25 When I thought about that verse, I realized it applied to me, 00:11:29 but it also applied to Tony. 00:11:31 Neither of us was looking for the person who feared Jehovah. 00:11:36 I tried to think what my life would be like married to somebody 00:11:39 who didn’t put spiritual things first. 00:11:51 And I really didn’t like what I saw. 00:12:02 So I decided that it was best to end things with Tony, 00:12:06 and I started pioneering. 00:12:08 And a year later at pioneer school, 00:12:11 I noticed someone else. 00:12:13 You were hard to miss too. 00:12:15 Thanks. 00:12:17 Still, it took time. 00:12:19 It did. 00:12:20 It really took until we could see ourselves putting Jehovah first 00:12:25 —but together.
