We are going to hopefully minister to personal as well as professional and prophetic understanding.

And I want your hearts to be touched as well as your heads.

So I'm going to speak to you from my heart as well as my head.

I'm going to tell you a little bit about my personal story as we begin.

And I'm going to try not to rush because it's just hard to absorb information if it comes in a flash flood.

So we will see how far I get each day, but I'm going to try very hard to minister to your needs.

And I have a helper back here giving you a set of free 24 health tracks.

People are still coming in, but I think we're about ready to get started and I like to be on time to respect your time.

So let's just bow our heads and have prayer And thank you to my helper back there.

And I don't know at 1 point if at 1 point we're supposed to shut the door.

Can you hear me even though the door is open?

By the way, this particular PowerPoint is 1 of my home-crafted ones, but the ones that you will be seeing here after have been professionally developed, they are scripted, they're editable, they are translatable into other languages.

Because 1 of the anointings that the Lord gave us, I am the Health Ministries Director for the Michigan Conference.

My husband, Dane, and I, my husband passed away several years ago, but the Lord called us to produce soul-winning materials for you to use to go win souls.

And I can't wait for you to see how beautiful they are and how easy they are and we build appeals into these.

We deal with the 24 topics that you have in your hand with the balanced living tracts, the tracts are also in a large size.

And each 1 of those tracts has a scripted PowerPoint that is editable.

So if you go to Albania or Italy or France, you can put these materials in the language, contextualize it to your own culture with your own statistics.

And this is already being done in the Middle East and in India and various places so I'm very grateful to let you know about this in relation to those tracks.

So I hope you open your little package, look at all the topics, We don't just deal with the standard health topics.

We deal with topics such as lessons on loss, growth out of grief.

Is that an important topic, dealing with loss and brokenness of all kinds?

What about who can I trust in a society where we are just hacked all the time?

40 million Americans suffer from chronic pain.

Is there such a thing as a pain prone personality?

What can we do to dial down chronic pain?

So this week you're going to have an opportunity to acquaint yourself with these things.

And in the next presentation you'll be able to get a view of what they of what they look like but at this is my introductory program I'm passionate about it so as we begin I would like for us to bow our heads and ask the Lord to be with us in a very, very special way.

Father in heaven, thank you so much for this time that we can spend together.

Please bless and open the heart of each and every hearer.

Open my heart and mouth to speak your words, because this is our moment together to seek you, to find you, to knock, and to hear.

And so I pray that you will be with us and minister to our deepest needs, create that desire and encouragement in our hearts that will propel us forward to your kingdom.

So the question that we are addressing today is how urgent is this message?

When We are living in a society and in a world where young children are being tutored and trained using dolls to behead.

They're beheading their dolls in preparation to perform beheadings on Christians.

We are living in a postmodern society where we have just catapulted over the hill of despair.

And so in the midst of this, Why should we be talking about health?

Why should we be addressing issues of wellness?

You may be asking yourself, why is this woman doing this?

She's probably 1 of these people that lines their clothes up according to color.

She's probably really disciplined and it's easy for her to tell people what to do.

Well it's, it is easy for me to tell people what to do and I'm really praying about that.

But being disciplined is a gift from God, isn't it?

Temperance is not something, I'm the health and temperance director for the Michigan Conference and have been for 15 years.

I've authored 3 books and we have all these power points and great stuff for you to use in evangelism.

And I'll never forget the time that I was introduced in a church in Alabama by the head elder.

I was doing a program there that weekend.

I don't know who got me into this church, but there was not a groundswell of excitement about me being there.

The health temperance director for the Michigan conference, That's enough to clear a building.

So I remember the head elder standing up front and saying, we're so glad, he was praying, we're so glad to have Sister Griffin here to talk to us about health.

And then he said, now health, that's important, but salvation, that's the thing.

I started running away from home when I was 5.
