du vet, hva er det som overrasker deg med boka?
00:28
"What surprised you about the book?"
1

2448
Og jeg svarer, at jeg fikk skrive den.
00:31
And I say, "That I got to write it."

2157
Jeg hadde aldri forestilt meg det,
00:33
I would have never imagined that.
3

2154
ikke i mine villeste drømmer trodde jeg …
00:36
Not in my wildest dreams did I think --

Jeg regner meg ikke en gang som forfatter.
00:38
I don't even consider
myself to be an author.

Også blir jeg ofte spurt:
00:42
And I'm often asked,

Hvorfor tror du så mange har lest den?
00:44
"Why do you think so many
people have read this?
people have read this?

This thing's selling still
about a million copies a month."

Den selger fremdeles rundt en million eksemplarer i måneden.
00:52
And I think it's because
spiritual emptiness
spiritual emptiness

27000

Og jeg tror det er fordi åndelig tomhet
00:57
is a universal disease.
10
32000
2888
er en allmenn sykdom.
00:59
I think inside at some point, we put
our heads down on the pillow and we go,
our heads down on the pillow and we go,
11
34912
3617
Jeg tror at på et tidspunkt, så legger vi hodet på puta og tenker:
«Det må være mer i livet enn dette.»
01:03
"There's got to be more
to life than this."

Mange sier: «Jeg lever.» Nei, du lever ikke – det der er bare å eksistere.
01:15
A lot of people say, "I'm living." No,
you're not living -- that's just existing.
you're not living -- that's just existing.
16
50283
4687
Bare å eksistere.
01:19
Just existing.
17
54994

Jeg tror faktisk at det finnes et indre ønske.
01:21
I really think that
there's this inner desire.
there's this inner desire.
18
56537
3032
Jeg tror på det Chris sa. Jeg tror at du ikke er en ulykke.
01:25
I do believe what Chris said;
I believe that you're not an accident.
I believe that you're not an accident.

Kanskje ikke foreldrene dine planla deg, men jeg tror Gud gjorde det.
01:30
Your parents may not have planned you,
but I believe God did.
but I believe God did.
20
65728
3450
Jeg tror det finnes utilsiktede foreldre, ingen tvil om det.
01:34
I think there are accidental parents;
there's no doubt about that.
there's no doubt about that.
21
69202
3231
Jeg tror ikke det finnes utilsiktede barn.
01:37
I don't think there are accidental kids.
22
72457
2075
01:40
And I think you matter.
23
75698
1743
Og jeg tror du betyr noe.
Jeg tror du betyr noe for Gud. Jeg tror du betyr noe for historien.
01:43
I think you matter to God;
I think you matter to history;
I think you matter to history;
24
78536
3017
Jeg tror du betyr noe for universet.
01:46
I think you matter to this universe.
25
81577
1967
01:49
And I think that the difference
26
84949
2223
Og jeg tror at forskjellen mellom
01:52
between what I call the survival level
of living, the success level of living,
of living, the success level of living,
27
87196
4780
det jeg kaller overlevelsesnivået av å leve, suksessnivået av å leve
01:57
and the significance level of living is:
28
92000
1976
og betydningsnivået av å leve, er...
01:59
Do you figure out,
"What on Earth am I here for?"
"What on Earth am I here for?"
29
94000
2682
om du finner ut hvorfor i all verden du er her?
Jeg treffer mange folk som er veldig smarte
02:02
I meet a lot of people who are very smart,
30
97524
3370
02:05
and say, "But why can't I
figure out my problems?"
figure out my problems?"
31
100918
2463
som sier: «Men hvorfor kan jeg ikke finne ut av problemene mine?»
02:09
And I meet a lot of people
who are very successful,
who are very successful,
32
104000
2641
Og jeg treffer mange folk som er veldig vellykkede
som sier: «hvorfor føler jeg meg ikke mer komplett?
02:11
who say, "Why don't I feel more fulfilled?
33
106665
2015
Hvorfor føler jeg meg som en bløff?
02:14
Why do I feel like a fake?
34
109379
1642
02:17
Why do I feel like I've got to pretend
that I'm more than I really am?"
that I'm more than I really am?"
35
112000
5737
Hvorfor føler jeg at
jeg må late som om jeg er mer enn jeg egentlig er?»
Jeg tror det koker ned til disse tingene – til mening, til betydning, til hensikt.
02:23
I think that comes down to this issue
of meaning, of significance, of purpose.
of meaning, of significance, of purpose.
36
118562
3746
02:27
I think it comes down to this issue of:
37
122896
2455
Jeg tror det koker ned til dette:
Hvorfor er jeg her? Hva skal jeg gjøre her? Hvor skal jeg?
02:30
"Why am I here? What am I here for?
Where am I going?"
Where am I going?"
38
125375
3539
Dette er ikke religiøse spørsmål,
02:33
These are not religious issues.
39
128938
2176
dette er menneskelige spørsmål.
02:36
They're human issues.

02:40
I wanted to tell Michael before he spoke
that I really appreciate what he does,
that I really appreciate what he does,
41
135000
3976
Jeg ville si til Michael før han talte
at jeg virkelig setter pris på det han gjør,
02:44
because it makes my life work
a whole lot easier.
a whole lot easier.
42
139000
3150
for det gjør jobben min så mye enklere.
Som pastor ser jeg mange raringer.
02:47
As a pastor, I do see a lot of kooks.
43
142174
3802
Og jeg har erfart at det finnes raringer på alle områder i livet.
02:51
And I have learned that there are
kooks in every area of life.
kooks in every area of life.
44
146396
3405
Religion har ikke
02:55
Religion doesn't have a monopoly on that,
45
150444
4328
monopol på det, men det finnes mer enn nok religiøse raringer.
02:59
but there are plenty of religious kooks.
46
154796
2037
03:01
There are secular kooks;
there are smart kooks, dumb kooks.
there are smart kooks, dumb kooks.
47
156857
3387
Det finnes verdslige raringer, det finnes smarte raringer, dumme raringer.
Det finnes folk – en dame kom til meg her en dag,
03:05
There are people -- a lady
came up to me the other day,
came up to me the other day,
48
160268
2611
og hun hadde et hvitt stykke papir – Michael, du kommer til å like denne –
03:07
and she had a white piece of paper --
Michael, you'll like this one --
Michael, you'll like this one --
49
162903
3315
og hun sa: «Hva ser du i det?»
03:11
and she said, "What do you see in it?"
50
166242
1826
Og jeg så på det og sa: «Å, jeg ser ingenting.»
03:13
And I looked at it and I said,
"Oh, I don't see anything."
"Oh, I don't see anything."
51
168092
2740
Og så sier hun: «Vel, jeg ser Jesus», og så begynte hun å gråte og gikk sin vei.
03:15
And she goes, "Well, I see Jesus,"
and started crying and left.
and started crying and left.
52
170856
2972
Og jeg bare, dere vet, OK. Bra.
03:18
I'm going, "OK," you know? "Fine."
53
173852
4504
Em.
03:23
(Laughter)
54
178380
2160
Bra for deg.
03:25
Good for you.

Da boka ble den boka som solgte mest i verden,
03:29
When the book became the best-selling book
in the world for the last three years,
in the world for the last three years,
56
184450
3881
hadde jeg på en måte min egen lille krise.
03:33
I kind of had my little crisis.
57
188355
2155
Og den gikk ut på: Hva er meningen med dette?
03:36
And that was: What is the purpose of this?
58
191386
2614
03:40
Because it brought in
enormous amounts of money.
enormous amounts of money.
59
195771
2785
For den dro inn enorme mengder penger,
Når du skriver den boka som selger mest i verden,
03:43
When you write the best-selling
book in the world,
book in the world,
60
198580
2421
så er det tonn på tonn med penger.
03:46
it's tons and tons of money.
61
201025
1742
03:48
And it brought in a lot of attention,
neither of which I wanted.
neither of which I wanted.
62
203894
3275
Og den bringte med seg masse oppmerksomhet. Jeg ville ikke ha noen av delene.
Da jeg startet Saddleback Church, var jeg 25 år gammel.
03:52
When I started Saddleback Church,
I was 25 years old.
I was 25 years old.
63
207193
2995
03:55
I started it with
one other family in 1980.
one other family in 1980.
64
210609
4406
Jeg started den sammen med en annen familie i 1980.
Og jeg bestemte at jeg skal aldri skulle sende på TV,
04:00
And I decided that I was never
going to go on TV,
going to go on TV,
65
215674
2302
04:03
because I didn't want to be a celebrity.
66
218000
1922
for jeg ville ikke være kjendis.
Jeg ville ikke være, jeg siterer: «evangelist», «televangelist» –
04:04
I didn't want to be a, quote,
"evangelist, televangelist" --
"evangelist, televangelist" --
67
219946
3181
det er ikke min greie.
04:08
that's not my thing.
68
223151
1849
04:10
And all of the sudden, it brought a lot
of money and a lot of attention.
of money and a lot of attention.
69
225896
4274
Og plutselig, så bringte det med seg masse penger og mye oppmerksomhet.
Jeg tror ikke …
04:15
I don't think --
70
230194
1540
04:16
now, this is a worldview,
71
231758
1241
Dette er et verdensbilde, og jeg sier dere det, alle har et verdensbilde.
04:18
and I will tell you,
everybody's got a worldview.
everybody's got a worldview.
72
233023
2450
Alle satser livet sitt på noe.
04:21
Everybody's betting
their life on something.
their life on something.
73
236037
2059
Du satser livet ditt på noe …
04:23
You're betting your life on something,
74
238120
1837
… du burde bare vite hvorfor du satser på det du satser på.
04:24
you just better know why
you're betting what you're betting on.
you're betting what you're betting on.
75
239981
3404
Så, alle satser livet sitt på noe,
04:28
So, everybody's betting
their life on something.
their life on something.
76
243409
2281
04:31
And when I, you know, made a bet,
77
246658
3962
og da jeg – du vet – inngikk veddemålet, så trodde jeg
04:35
I happened to believe
that Jesus was who he said he was.
that Jesus was who he said he was.
78
250644
2912
at Jesus var den han sa han var.
Men alle har – og jeg tror at i et pluralistisk samfunn –
04:39
And I believe in a pluralistic society,
79
254159
2959
så satser alle på noe.
04:42
everybody's betting on something.
80
257142
1937
Og da jeg startet kirken,
04:45
And when I started the church,
81
260404
3098
04:48
you know, I had no plans
to do what it's doing now.
to do what it's doing now.
82
263526
3566
så hadde jeg ingen planer om å gjøre det som den gjør nå.
Og da jeg skrev denne boken,
04:53
And then when I wrote this book,
83
268171
1857
og den plutselig bare
04:55
and all of a sudden, it just took off,
84
270052
4525
tok av,
da begynte jeg å si, hva er nå meningen med dette?
04:59
and I started saying, now,
what's the purpose of this?
what's the purpose of this?
85
274601
2587
For som jeg begynte med å si,
05:02
Because as I started to say,
86
277212
1721
jeg tror aldri man blir gitt penger eller berømmelse
05:03
I don't think you're given money or fame
87
278957
2196
for sitt eget egos skyld.
05:06
for your own ego, ever.
88
281177
1580
Jeg tror bare ikke det.
05:09
I just don't believe that.
89
284511
1277
Og når man skriver en bok hvor den første setningen er:
05:11
And when you write a book
that the first sentence of the book is,
that the first sentence of the book is,
90
286371
3187
«Det handler ikke om deg»,
05:14
"It's not about you,"
91
289582
2422
når den da plutselig
05:17
then, when all of a sudden it becomes
the best-selling book in history,
the best-selling book in history,
92
292028
3380
blir den bestselgende boka i historien,
da må man bare skjønne at det handler vel ikke om meg.
05:20
you've got to figure, well,
I guess it's not about me.
I guess it's not about me.
93
295432
2563
05:23
That's kind of a no-brainer.
94
298664
1643
Det sier seg litt selv.
Så hva handler det om?
05:26
So, what is it for?
95
301251
1616
05:28
And I began to think about what I call
the "stewardship of affluence"
the "stewardship of affluence"
96
303743
3606
Jeg begynte å tenke på det jeg kaller forvaltning av velstand
og forvaltning av innflytelse.
05:32
and the "stewardship of influence."
97
307373
2603
Jeg tror, i all hovedsak, at ledelse er det samme som forvaltning.
05:35
So I believe, essentially,
leadership is stewardship.
leadership is stewardship.
98
310434
2670
05:39
That if you are a leader in any area --
99
314000
2425
At dersom du er en leder på et eller annet felt
– innen næringslivet, innen politikken, innen idrett, innen kunst,
05:41
in business, in politics,
in sports, in art,
in sports, in art,
100
316449
3516
innen akademia, innen hvilket som helst felt –
05:44
in academics, in any area --
101
319989
2068
så eier du det ikke,
05:47
you don't own it.
102
322081
1302
du forvalter det.
05:49
You are a steward of it.
103
324764
1515
05:51
For instance, that's why I believe
in protecting the environment.
in protecting the environment.
104
326909
3071
For eksempel, så er det derfor jeg tror på å beskytte miljøet.
Dette er ikke min planet. Den var ikke min før jeg ble født.
05:55
This is not my planet.
105
330004
1560
05:56
It wasn't mine before I was born,
it's not going to be mine after I die,
it's not going to be mine after I die,
106
331588
3463
Den kommer ikke til å være min etter at jeg dør.
Jeg er bare her i åtti år, og det er det.
06:00
I'm just here for 80 years
and then that's it.
and then that's it.
107
335075
3171
Her om dagen debatterte jeg på et talk show,
06:03
I was debating
the other day on a talk show,
the other day on a talk show,
108
338270
4097
og en mann utfordret meg og sa:
06:07
and the guy was challenging
me and he'd go,
me and he'd go,
109
342391
2013
«Hvorfor driver en pastor og beskytter miljøet?»
06:09
"What's a pastor doing
on protecting the environment?"
on protecting the environment?"
110
344428
2572
06:12
And I asked this guy, I said,
"Well, do you believe
"Well, do you believe
111
347856
3777
Og jeg spurte ham: «Vel, tror du
at mennesker har et ansvar
06:16
that human beings are responsible
112
351657
3883
for å gjøre verden til et litt bedre sted for neste generasjon?
06:20
to make the world a little bit better
place for the next generation?
place for the next generation?
113
355564
3761
Tror du at vi er forvaltere her,
06:24
Do you think we have a stewardship here,
to take the environment seriously?"
to take the environment seriously?"
114
359349
4231
og at vi må ta miljøet på alvor?»
Og han sa: «Nei».
06:29
And he said, "No."
115
364334
1278
Jeg sa: «Å, så det gjør du ikke?». Jeg sa: «Bare for å gjøre det klart.
06:31
I said, "Oh, you don't?"
116
366285
1154
06:32
I said, "Let me make this clear again:
117
367463
1825
Tror du at vi som mennesker – jeg snakker ikke om religion –
06:34
Do you believe that as human beings --
I'm not talking about religion --
I'm not talking about religion --
118
369312
3946
tror du at vi som mennesker, har et ansvar
06:38
do you believe that as human beings,
it is our responsibility
it is our responsibility
119
373282
2872
for å ta vare på denne planeten, og å gjøre den bare litt bedre for neste generasjon?»
06:41
to take care of this planet,
120
376178
1342
06:42
and make it just a little bit better
for the next generation?"
for the next generation?"
121
377544
2923
Og han sa: «Nei.
06:45
And he said, "No. Not any more
than any other species."
than any other species."
122
380491
3509
Ikke noe mer enn andre arter.»
Idet han sa ordet «arter», viste han verdensbildet sitt.
06:50
When he said the word "species,"
he was revealing his worldview.
he was revealing his worldview.
123
385200
3587
Og han sa: «Jeg har ikke noe større ansvar for å ta vare på miljøet
06:54
And he was saying,
124
389382
1194
06:55
"I'm no more responsible to take care
of this environment than a duck is."
of this environment than a duck is."
125
390600
4015
enn en and har.»
07:00
Well now, I know a lot
of times we act like ducks,
of times we act like ducks,
126
395887
2590
Ja, jeg vet at mange ganger så opptrer vi som ender,
men du er ikke en and.
07:03
but you're not a duck.
127
398501
1198
Du er ikke en and.
07:05
You're not a duck.
128
400635
1170
Og du har et ansvar – det er mitt verdensbilde.
07:07
And you are responsible --
that's my worldview.
that's my worldview.
129
402543
2878
Så du trenger å forstå hva din verden er – hva ditt verdensbilde er.
07:11
And so, you need to understand
what your worldview is.
what your worldview is.
130
406397
4275
Problemet er at de fleste faktisk aldri tenker gjennom det.
07:15
The problem is most people
never really think it through.
never really think it through.
131
410696
3500
De får aldri...
07:19
They never really ...
132
414783
3939
07:23
codify it or qualify it or quantify it,
133
418746
3333
satt ord på det, vist hva det består av eller kvantifisert det,
og sagt: «Dette er det jeg tror på.
07:27
and say, "This is what I believe in.
This is why I believe what I believe."
This is why I believe what I believe."
134
422103
4082
Dette er hvorfor jeg tror det jeg tror.»
Personlig har jeg ikke nok tro til å være ateist.
07:31
I don't personally have
enough faith to be an atheist.
enough faith to be an atheist.
135
426209
2998
Men kanskje du har – kanskje du har.
07:35
But you may, you may.
136
430159
2326
07:38
Your worldview, though, does determine
everything else in your life,
everything else in your life,
137
433000
4089
Skjønt verdenbildet ditt styrer alt annet i livet ditt,
fordi det styrer dine beslutninger,
07:42
because it determines your decisions;
138
437113
2722
det styrer dine forhold,
07:44
it determines your relationships;
139
439859
2389
det styrer tillitsnivået ditt.
07:47
it determines your level of confidence.
140
442272
2239
Det styrer faktisk alt i livet ditt.
07:50
It determines, really,
everything in your life.
everything in your life.
141
445082
2675
Det vi tror
07:53
What we believe, obviously --
142
448277
1777
07:55
and you know this --
determines our behavior,
determines our behavior,
143
450078
2707
– og dette vet du – styrer åpenbart vår oppførsel,
07:57
and our behavior determines
what we become in life.
what we become in life.
144
452809
3762
og vår oppførsel styrer hva vi blir i livet.
08:03
So all of this money started pouring in,
145
458912
2064
Så det begynte å strømme inn masse penger,
08:06
and all of this fame started pouring in.
146
461000
2944
og det begynte å strømme inn berømmelse,
08:10
And I'm going, what do I do with this?
147
465000
2000
og jeg tenkte, hva skal jeg gjøre med alt dette?
Først tok kona mi og jeg fem beslutninger om hva vi skulle gjøre med pengene.
08:13
My wife and I first made five decisions
on what to do with the money.
on what to do with the money.
148
468539
3461
Vi sa: «Først og fremst
08:18
We said, "First, we're not
going to use it on ourselves."
going to use it on ourselves."
149
473081
3996
skal vi ikke bruke dem på oss selv.»
Jeg gikk ikke og kjøpte et større hus.
08:22
I didn't go out and buy a bigger house.
150
477750
2004
Jeg har ikke noe gjestehus.
08:25
I don't own a guesthouse.
151
480099
1775
08:26
I still drive the same four year-old
Ford that I've driven.
Ford that I've driven.
152
481898
3102
Jeg kjører fremdeles den samme fire år gamle Forden som før.
08:30
We just said, we're not
going to use it on us.
going to use it on us.
153
485619
2183
Vi sa bare, vi skal ikke bruke det på oss.
Den andre tingen jeg gjorde,
08:33
The second thing was,
154
488659
2671
var å slutte å ta ut lønn fra kirken jeg leder.
08:36
I stopped taking a salary
from the church that I pastor.
from the church that I pastor.
155
491354
3428
Tredje ting jeg gjorde var å legge sammen alt som kirken hadde betalt meg de siste tjuefem årene,
08:40
Third thing is, I added up
all that the church had paid me
all that the church had paid me
156
495282
2739
08:43
over the last 25 years,
and I gave it back.
and I gave it back.
157
498045
2688
og jeg ga det tilbake.
Jeg ga det tilbake fordi jeg ikke ville at noen skulle tro
08:46
And I gave it back because
I didn't want anybody thinking
I didn't want anybody thinking
158
501710
2690
at jeg gjør det jeg gjør for pengene – det gjør jeg ikke.
08:49
that I do what I do for money -- I don't.
159
504424
2308
08:51
In fact, personally, I've never met
160
506756
3644
Faktisk har jeg personlig aldri møtt
en prest eller pastor eller en menighetsleder som gjør det for pengene.
08:55
a priest or a pastor or a minister
who does it for money.
who does it for money.
161
510424
3392
Jeg vet at det er en stereotypi. Men jeg har aldri møtt noen.
08:58
I know that's the stereotype;
I've never met one of them.
I've never met one of them.
162
513840
3055
09:01
Believe me, there's a whole lot
easier ways to make money.
easier ways to make money.
163
516919
3081
Tro meg, det finnes mange enklere måter å tjene penger på.
09:05
Pastors are like on 24 hours-a-day call,
they're like doctors.
they're like doctors.
164
520763
3818
Pastorer er liksom på 24-timers vakt. De er som leger.
Jeg dro sent i dag. Jeg håpte på å være her i går,
09:09
I left late today -- I'd hoped
to be here yesterday --
to be here yesterday --
165
524605
3444
fordi svigerfaren min er inne i sine siste, sannsynligvis, 48 timer
09:13
because my father-in-law
is in his last, probably, 48 hours
is in his last, probably, 48 hours
166
528073
3450
før han dør av kreft.
09:16
before he dies of cancer.
167
531547
1326
Og jeg ser en mann som har levd livet
09:18
And I'm watching a guy
who's lived his life --
who's lived his life --
168
533286
2690
09:21
he's now in his mid-80s --
and he's dying with peace.
and he's dying with peace.
169
536000
3956
– han er nå i midten av 80-årene –
og han dør i fred. Du vet, prøven på verdensbildet ditt
09:24
You know, the test of your worldview
is not how you act in the good times.
is not how you act in the good times.
170
539980
5081
er ikke hvordan du opptrer i gode tider.
Prøven på verdensbildet ditt er hvordan du opptrer i begravelsen.
09:30
The test of your worldview
is how you act at the funeral.
is how you act at the funeral.
171
545555
3638
Jeg har vært med på bokstavelig talt hundrevis, hvis ikke tusenvis, av begravelser,
09:35
And having been through literally
hundreds if not thousands of funerals,
hundreds if not thousands of funerals,
172
550352
4018
og det gjør en forskjell.
09:39
it makes a difference.
173
554394
1325
Hva du tror gjør en forskjell.
09:41
It makes a difference what you believe.
174
556171
2032
Så vi ga alt tilbake,
09:44
So, we gave it all back,
175
559509
3865
og så opprettet vi tre stiftelser,
09:48
and then we set up three foundations,
176
563398
2838
som arbeider med noen av de største problemene i verden:
09:51
working on some of the major
problems of the world:
problems of the world:
177
566260
2397
analfabetisme, fattigdom, pandemiske sykdommer – spesielt HIV/AIDS –
09:53
illiteracy, poverty, pandemic diseases --
particularly HIV/AIDS --
particularly HIV/AIDS --
178
568681
5850
og opprettet disse tre stiftelsene
09:59
and set up these three foundations,
and put the money into that.
and put the money into that.
179
574555
4178
og satte pengene inn i dem.
Det siste vi gjorde var at vi ble det jeg kaller «omvendte tiendere».
10:03
The last thing we did is we became
what I call "reverse tithers."
what I call "reverse tithers."
180
578757
3341
Og det er: Da kona mi og jeg giftet oss
10:07
And that is, when my wife
and I got married 30 years ago,
and I got married 30 years ago,
181
582535
6813
for 30 år siden
begynte vi å gi tiende.
10:15
we started tithing.
182
590071
2844
10:17
Now, that's a principle in the Bible
183
592939
2089
Det er et prinsipp i Bibelen
som sier at man skal gi ti prosent av det man får tilbake til veldedighet.
10:20
that says give 10 percent
of what you get back to charity,
of what you get back to charity,
184
595052
3083
Man skal gi det bort for å hjelpe folk.
10:23
give it away to help other people.
185
598159
1841
10:25
So, we started doing that, and each year
we would raise our tithe one percent.
we would raise our tithe one percent.
186
600865
3996
Så vi begynte å gjøre det, og hvert år økte vi tienden med en prosent.
10:29
So, our first year of marriage
we went to 11 percent,
we went to 11 percent,
187
604885
2498
Sånn at i det første året vi var gift økte vi til elleve prosent,
det andre året økte vi til tolv prosent,
10:32
second year we went to 12 percent,
188
607407
1637
og det tredje året økte vi til 13 prosent,
10:34
and the third year we went to 13 percent,
189
609068
2746
10:36
and on and on and on.
190
611838
1255
og sånn fortsatte vi. Hvorfor gjorde vi det?
10:39
Why did I do that?
191
614339
1206
Fordi hver gang jeg gir,
10:40
Because every time I give,
192
615569
1592
bryter det opp materialismens grep om livet mitt.
10:42
it breaks the grip
of materialism in my life.
of materialism in my life.
193
617185
2815
Materialisme handler bare om å få – få, få, få, få alt du kan.
10:46
Materialism is all about getting --
get, get, get, get all you can,
get, get, get, get all you can,
194
621217
4604
Hermetiser alt du får, sitt på boksen og kast bort resten.
10:50
can all you get, sit on the can
and spoil the rest.
and spoil the rest.
195
625845
2723
Det handler bare om mer, om å ha mer.
10:54
It's all about more, having more.
196
629599
3916
Og vi tror at det gode liv faktisk handler om å se bra ut.
10:58
And we think that the good life
is actually looking good --
is actually looking good --
197
633539
4095
Det er viktigst av alt – å se bra ut,
11:02
that's most important of all --
198
637658
1491
11:04
looking good, feeling good
and having the goods.
and having the goods.
199
639173
3684
om å føle seg bra og om å ha ting.
Men det er ikke det gode livet.
11:08
But that's not the good life.
200
643754
1396
Jeg møter hele tiden folk som har alt det,
11:10
I meet people all the time who have
those, and they're not necessarily happy.
those, and they're not necessarily happy.
201
645532
4212
og de er ikke nødvendigvis lykkelige.
Hvis penger faktisk gjorde deg lykkelig,
11:14
If money actually made you happy,
202
649768
2208
11:17
then the wealthiest people
in the world would be the happiest.
in the world would be the happiest.
203
652000
2953
da ville de rikeste folkene i verden vært de lykkeligste.
Og det vet jeg personlig at ikke er sant.
11:19
And that I know, personally,
I know, is not true.
I know, is not true.
204
654977
2404
11:22
It's just not true.
205
657883
1196
Det er bare ikke sant.
11:25
So, the good life is not about looking
good, feeling good or having the goods,
good, feeling good or having the goods,
206
660000
3831
Så det gode livet handler ikke om å se bra ut, føle seg bra eller om å ha ting.
11:28
it's about being good and doing good.
207
663855
2229
Det handler om å være god og å gjøre godt.
Å gi bort livet sitt.
11:32
Giving your life away.
208
667102
1874
Betydning i livet kommer ikke fra status,
11:34
Significance in life
doesn't come from status,
doesn't come from status,
209
669579
3668
for du kan alltid finne noen som har mer enn deg.
11:38
because you can always find
somebody who's got more than you.
somebody who's got more than you.
210
673271
2883
Det kommer ikke fra sex.
11:41
It doesn't come from sex.
211
676178
1516
11:42
It doesn't come from salary.
212
677718
1816
Det kommer ikke fra lønn.
Det kommer fra å tjene.
11:45
It comes from serving.
213
680304
1672
Det er ved å gi bort livene våre at vi finner mening,
11:47
It is in giving our lives away
that we find meaning,
that we find meaning,
214
682658
2721
vi finner betydning,
11:50
we find significance.
215
685403
1388
11:52
That's the way we were wired,
I believe, by God.
I believe, by God.
216
687490
3103
Det er sånn vi er skrudd sammen – tror jeg – av Gud.
11:57
And so we began to give away,
217
692000
2976
Så vi begynte å gi bort
12:00
and now after 30 years,
218
695000
1976
og nå, etter tretti år,
12:02
my wife and I are reverse tithers --
we give away 90 percent and live on 10.
we give away 90 percent and live on 10.
219
697000
3858
er kona mi og jeg omvendte tiendere – vi gir bort nitti prosent og lever på ti.
Det var faktisk den enkle delen.
12:07
That, actually, was the easy part.
220
702055
1870
12:08
The hard part is, what do I do
with all this attention?
with all this attention?
221
703949
2729
Den vanskelige delen var hva jeg skulle gjøre med all oppmerksomheten?
For jeg begynte å få alle mulige slags invitasjoner.
12:12
Because I started getting
all kinds of invitations.
all kinds of invitations.
222
707162
3141
Jeg kom nettopp tilbake fra en nesten én måned lang foredragsturné
12:15
I just came off a nearly
month-long speaking tour
month-long speaking tour
223
710327
3937
på tre ulike kontinenter,
12:19
on three different continents,
224
714288
1805
og jeg skal ikke snakke om det,
12:21
and I won't go into that,
225
716117
2690
men det var en fantastisk ting.
12:23
but it was an amazing thing.
226
718831
1963
Og jeg tenker, hva skal jeg gjøre med dette,
12:26
And I'm going, what do I do
with this notoriety
with this notoriety
227
721452
3871
denne oppmerksomheten som boken har brakt med seg?
12:30
that the book has brought?
228
725347
1444
12:32
And, being a pastor,
I started reading the Bible.
I started reading the Bible.
229
727801
3254
Og siden jeg er pastor, begynte jeg å lese i Bibelen.
Det er et kapittel i Bibelen som heter Salme 72,
12:36
There's a chapter in the Bible
called Psalm 72,
called Psalm 72,
230
731610
2769
og det er Salomos bønn om mer innflytelse.
12:39
and it's Solomon's prayer
for more influence.
for more influence.
231
734403
3745
Når du leser denne bønnen
12:43
When you read this prayer,
232
738172
1804
12:45
it sounds incredibly
selfish, self-centered.
selfish, self-centered.
233
740000
3960
høres den utrolig egoistisk og selvsentrert ut.
Det høres ut som om
han sier: «Gud, jeg vil at du skal gjøre meg berømt.»
12:49
He says, "God, I want you
to make me famous."
to make me famous."
234
744023
2536
Det er det han ber.
12:51
That's what he prays.
235
746583
1440
Han sier: «Jeg vil at du skal gjøre meg berømt.
12:53
He said, "I want you to make me famous.
236
748047
1867
12:54
I want you to spread the fame
of my name through every land,
of my name through every land,
237
749938
2833
Jeg vil at du skal spre ryktet om navnet mitt gjennom alle land,
jeg vil at du skal gi meg makt,
12:57
I want you to give me power.
238
752795
3311
jeg vil at du skal gjøre meg berømt.
13:01
I want you to make me famous,
I want you to give me influence."
I want you to give me influence."
239
756130
3615
Jeg vil at du skal gi meg innflytelse.»
13:04
And it just sounds like the most
egotistical request you could make,
egotistical request you could make,
240
759769
3231
Og det høres ut som det mest egoistiske ønske man kan komme med
når man ber.
13:08
if you were going to pray.
241
763024
1324
Helt til du leser hele salmen, hele kapittelet.
13:10
Until you read the whole psalm,
the whole chapter.
the whole chapter.
242
765444
2649
Og da sier han: «Sånn at kongen»
13:13
And then he says,
"So that the king ..." --
"So that the king ..." --
243
768117
2618
– han var konge i Israel som på den tiden var på toppen av sin makt –
13:15
he was the king of Israel
at that time, at its apex in power --
at that time, at its apex in power --
244
770759
4787
«sånn at kongen kan sørge for enker og foreldreløse,
13:20
"... so that the king may care
for the widow and orphan,
for the widow and orphan,
245
775570
3739
støtte undertrykte, forsvare de forsvarsløre, sørge for de syke,
13:24
support the oppressed, defend
the defenseless, care for the sick,
the defenseless, care for the sick,
246
779333
4004
hjelpe de fattige, tale saken til utlendinger
13:28
assist the poor,
speak up for the foreigner,
speak up for the foreigner,
247
783361
3615
13:32
those in prison."
248
787000
1976
og dem som er i fengsel.»
13:34
Basically, he's talking about
all the marginalized in society.
all the marginalized in society.
249
789000
3169
I grunnen så snakker han om alle de som er marginaliserte i samfunnet.
Og mens jeg leste det,
13:37
And as I read that,
250
792757
1589
så jeg på det, og jeg tenkte – du vet –
13:39
I looked at it, and I thought, you know,
251
794370
3430
13:42
what this is saying is that the purpose
of influence is to speak up
of influence is to speak up
252
797824
3947
det som står her er at hensikten med innflytelse er å tale saken
til dem som ikke har innflytelse.
13:46
for those who have no influence.
253
801795
2071
Hensikten med innflytelse er ikke å bygge opp egoet ditt,
13:50
The purpose of influence
is not to build your ego.
is not to build your ego.
254
805763
2689
eller formuen din.
13:55
Or your net worth.
255
810992
1152
Og forresten, formue er ikke det samme
13:57
And, by the way, your net worth is not
the same thing as your self-worth.
the same thing as your self-worth.
256
812168
3652
som egenverd.
14:00
Your value is not based on your valuables.
257
815844
3720
Hva du er verdt er ikke basert på verdisakene dine,
14:06
It's based on a whole
different set of things.
different set of things.
258
821000
2297
det er basert på helt andre ting.
14:08
And so the purpose
of influence is to speak up
of influence is to speak up
259
823732
3105
Så hensikten med innflytelse er å tale saken
til dem som ikke har innflytelse.
14:11
for those who have no influence.
260
826861
1540
Og jeg måtte innrømme
14:13
And I had to admit:
261
828425
1914
at jeg ikke kommer på sist gang jeg tenkte på enker og foreldreløse.
14:15
I can't think of the last time
I thought of widows and orphans.
I thought of widows and orphans.
262
830363
3026
De er ikke på radaren min.
14:18
They're not on my radar.
263
833413
2100
Jeg leder en kirke i ett av de mest velstående områdene i Amerika,
14:21
I pastor a church in one of the most
affluent areas of America --
affluent areas of America --
264
836261
3188
en haug med inngjerdede boligområder.
14:24
a bunch of gated communities.
265
839473
1857
Jeg har en kirke full av konsernsjefer og vitenskapsmenn.
14:26
I have a church full
of CEOs and scientists.
of CEOs and scientists.
266
841354
2588
Og det kan gå fem år uten at jeg ser en eneste hjemløs person.
14:30
And I could go five years and never,
ever see a homeless person.
ever see a homeless person.
267
845640
4336
14:35
They're just not in my pathway.
268
850000
1976
De er bare ikke der jeg går.
De er to mil oppe i gaten, i Santa Ana.
14:37
Now, they're 13 miles
up the road in Santa Ana.
up the road in Santa Ana.
269
852379
2815
14:41
So I had to say, ok,
270
856867
2109
Så jeg måtte si: «OK,
14:44
I would use whatever affluence
and whatever influence I've got
and whatever influence I've got
271
859000
3785
jeg skal bruke all den velstanden og all den innflytelsen jeg har
til å hjelpe dem som ikke har noen av delene.»
14:47
to help those who don't have
either of those.
either of those.
272
862809
3570
Vet dere, det er en historie i Bibelen om Moses.
14:52
You know, there's a story
in the Bible about Moses,
in the Bible about Moses,
273
867610
2731
Om dere tror den er sann eller ikke,
14:55
whether you believe it's true or not,
it really doesn't matter to me.
it really doesn't matter to me.
274
870365
3579
det betyr egentlig ikke noe for meg.
14:58
But Moses, if you saw the movie,
"The Ten Commandments,"
"The Ten Commandments,"
275
873968
2640
Men Moses, hvis dere så filmen «De ti bud,»
15:01
Moses goes out, and there's this
burning bush, and God talks to him,
burning bush, and God talks to him,
276
876632
3283
Moses går ut og finner en brennende busk, og Gud taler til ham.
15:04
and God says,
"Moses, what's in your hand?"
"Moses, what's in your hand?"
277
879939
3755
Og Gud sier: «Moses,
hva har du i hånden?»
Jeg tror det er ett av de viktigste spørsmålene du noensinne vil bli spurt.
15:10
I think that's one of the most important
questions you'll ever be asked:
questions you'll ever be asked:
278
885261
3841
Hva har du i hånden?
15:14
What's in your hand?
279
889126
1327
Moses sier: «Det er en stav.
15:16
Moses says, "It's a staff.
It's a shepherd's staff."
It's a shepherd's staff."
280
891416
4163
Det er en hyrdestav.»
15:21
And God says, "Throw it down."
281
896000
1866
Og Gud sier: «Kast den på jorden.»
15:22
And if you saw the movie, you know,
he throws it down and it becomes a snake.
he throws it down and it becomes a snake.
282
897890
4713
Og hvis du så filmen, så vet du at han kaster den på bakken, og den blir en slange.
Og så sier Gud: «Plukk den opp.»
15:29
And then God says, "Pick it up."
283
904230
2176
Og han plukker den opp igjen,
15:32
And he picks it back up again,
284
907152
1824
15:34
and it becomes a staff again.
285
909000
2620
og den blir en stav igjen.
Jeg leser dette, og jeg tenker, hvorfor gjorde han det?
15:37
Now, I'm reading this thing,
and I'm going, what is that all about?
and I'm going, what is that all about?
286
912357
3762
OK. Hvorfor gjorde han det? Vel, jeg vet et par ting.
15:41
OK. What's that all about? Well,
I do know a couple of things.
I do know a couple of things.
287
916143
3313
Nummer en, Gud gjør aldri et mirakel for å vise seg.
15:44
Number one, God never does
a miracle to show off.
a miracle to show off.
288
919480
3115
Det er ikke bare: «Wow, er ikke det kult?»
15:48
It's not just, "Wow, isn't that cool?"
289
923091
2043
Og forresten, min Gud trenger ikke å dukke opp på smørbrød.
15:50
And, by the way, my God doesn't
have to show up on cheese bread.
have to show up on cheese bread.
290
925158
3215
Du vet, hvis Gud skal dukke opp,
15:53
You know, if God's going to show up,
he's not going to show up on cheese bread.
he's not going to show up on cheese bread.
291
928881
3895
så kommer han ikke til å dukke opp på smørbrød.
(Latter)
15:57
(Laughter)
292
932800
1193
OK? Jeg bare – det er derfor jeg elsker det Michael gjør –
15:59
Ok? I just, this is why I love
what Michael does,
what Michael does,
293
934017
2875
16:01
because it's like, if he's debunking it,
then I don't have to.
then I don't have to.
294
936916
4658
for det er som om, OK, hvis han avslører det, da trenger ikke jeg å gjøre det.
16:06
But God -- my God --
doesn't show up on sprinkler images.
doesn't show up on sprinkler images.
295
941598
3448
Men Gud – min Gud – viser seg ikke som bilder i sprederen.
16:10
He's got a few more powerful ways
than that to do whatever he wants to do.
than that to do whatever he wants to do.
296
945760
4216
Han har mer kraftfulle måter enn det
for å gjøre akkurat det han vil.
16:15
But he doesn't do miracles
just to show off.
just to show off.
297
950000
3082
Men Han gjør ikke mirakler bare for å vise seg.
Den andre tingen er; Hvis Gud noensinne spør deg et spørsmål,
16:18
Second thing is,
if God ever asks you a question,
if God ever asks you a question,
298
953106
2299
så vet han allerede svaret.
16:20
he already knows the answer.
299
955429
1573
16:22
Obviously, if he's God,
then that would mean
then that would mean
300
957682
2217
Åpenbart, hvis han er Gud, så betyr det
16:24
that when he asks the question,
it's for your benefit, not his.
it's for your benefit, not his.
301
959923
3680
at når han spør deg et spørsmål, så er det til din fordel, ikke hans.
Så, han sier: «Hva har du i hånden?»
16:28
So he's going, "What's in your hand?"
302
963627
1861
Nå, hva var det i Moses hånd?
16:30
Now, what was in Moses' hand?
303
965512
1464
16:32
Well, it was a shepherd's staff.
Now, follow me on this.
Now, follow me on this.
304
967000
3000
Vel, det var en hyrdestav. Følg meg på dette.
Denne staven representerte tre ting ved Mose liv.
16:36
This staff represented
three things about Moses' life.
three things about Moses' life.
305
971037
3405
For det første representerte det hans identitet.
16:39
First, it represented his identity;
he was a shepherd.
he was a shepherd.
306
974466
3539
Han var en hyrde. Det er symbolet på yrket hans.
16:43
It's the symbol of his own occupation:
307
978029
3299
Jeg er en hyrde. Det er et symbol på hans identitet, hans karriere, hans jobb.
16:46
I am a shepherd.
308
981352
1301
16:48
It's a symbol of his identity,
his career, his job.
his career, his job.
309
983219
2757
For det andre er det et symbol ikke bare på hans identitet,
16:51
Second, it's a symbol
of not only his identity,
of not only his identity,
310
986369
3150
det er også et symbol på hans inntekt, for alle pengene hans var bundet opp i sauer.
16:54
it's a symbol of his income, because all
of his assets are tied up in sheep.
of his assets are tied up in sheep.
311
989543
4155
Den gangen hadde ingen bankkontoer,
16:58
In those days, nobody had bank accounts,
or American Express cards, or hedge funds.
or American Express cards, or hedge funds.
312
993722
4397
eller American Express-kort, eller hedgefond.
Pengene dine var bundet opp i flokkene dine.
17:03
Your assets are tied up in your flocks.
313
998143
2714
Så det er et symbol på hans identitet, og det er et symbol på inntekten hans.
17:06
So it's a symbol of his identity,
and it's a symbol of his income.
and it's a symbol of his income.
314
1001277
3682
For det tredje er det et symbol på hans innflytelse.
17:09
And the third thing:
it's a symbol of his influence.
it's a symbol of his influence.
315
1004983
2643
Hva gjør man med en hyrdestav?
17:13
What do you do with a shepherd's staff?
316
1008348
3307
Vel – du vet – man flytter sau fra punkt A til punkt B med den,
17:16
Well, you know, you move sheep
from point A to point B with it,
from point A to point B with it,
317
1011679
3753
Med kroken eller med kjeppen.
17:20
by hook or by crook.
318
1015456
1641
Du kan trekke dem eller dytte dem, det ene eller det andre.
17:22
You pull them or you poke them.
One or the other.
One or the other.
319
1017121
3048
Så, han sier
17:26
So, he's saying,
320
1021405
1928
«Du skal legge ned din identitet.
17:28
"You're going to lay down your identity.
321
1023357
2039
Hva har du i hånden? Du har identitet, du har inntekt, du har innflytelse.
17:30
What's in your hand?
322
1025420
1155
17:31
You've got identity, you've got income,
you've got influence.
you've got influence.
323
1026599
2873
Hva har du i hånden?»
17:34
What's in your hand?"
324
1029496
1157
Og han sier: «Hvis du legger den ned, så skal jeg gjøre det levende.
17:36
And he's saying, "If you lay it down,
I'll make it come alive.
I'll make it come alive.
325
1031498
2929
Jeg vil gjøre noen ting du aldri kunne forestille deg at var mulige»
17:39
I'll do some things
you could never imagine possible."
you could never imagine possible."
326
1034451
2575
Og hvis du har sett den filmen: «De ti bud»,
17:42
And if you've watched that movie,
"Ten Commandments,"
"Ten Commandments,"
327
1037050
2494
alle de store miraklene som hendte i Egypt
17:44
all of those big miracles that happen
in Egypt are done through this staff.
in Egypt are done through this staff.
328
1039568
4480
blir gjort ved hjelp av denne staven.
I fjor ble jeg invitert til å tale på en NBA All-Stars-kamp
17:51
Last year, I was invited to speak
at the NBA All-Stars game.
at the NBA All-Stars game.
329
1046152
5055
17:56
And so, I'm talking to the players,
330
1051940
3036
Så jeg står og snakker til spillerne,
18:00
because most of the NBA teams,
NFL teams and all the other teams
NFL teams and all the other teams
331
1055000
4301
fordi de fleste av NBA-lagene, NFL-lagene og alle de andre lagene
har gjennomført 40 dager med hensikt, basert på boken.
18:04
have done this 40 Days of Purpose,
based on the book.
based on the book.
332
1059325
2849
Og jeg spurte dem: «Hva har du i hånden?»
18:07
And I asked them, I said,
"What's in your hand?
"What's in your hand?
333
1062508
3492
Så hva har du i hånden?» Jeg sa: «Det er en basketball,
18:12
So, what's in your hand?"
I said, "It's a basketball.
I said, "It's a basketball.
334
1067392
3177
og den basketballen representerer identiteten din, hvem du er.
18:16
And that basketball represents
your identity, who you are:
your identity, who you are:
335
1071411
3717
Du er en NBA-spiller. Den representerer inntekten din.
18:20
you're an NBA player.
336
1075152
1474
18:21
It represents your income:
337
1076650
1572
Du tjener masse penger på den lille ballen.
18:23
you're making a lot of money
off that little ball.
off that little ball.
338
1078246
2579
Og den representerer innflytelsen din.
18:26
And it represents your influence.
339
1081182
1818
18:28
And even though you're only going
to be in the NBA for a few years,
to be in the NBA for a few years,
340
1083645
3307
Og selv om du bare kommer til å være i NBA i noen få år,
18:31
you're going to be an NBA player
for the rest of your life.
for the rest of your life.
341
1086976
2787
kommer du til å være en NBA-spiller for resten av livet.
Og det gir deg enorm innflytelse.
18:34
And that gives you enormous influence.
342
1089787
2095
Så hva har du tenkt å gjøre med det som er gitt deg?»
18:37
So, what are you going to do
with what you've been given?"
with what you've been given?"
343
1092254
3275
Og jeg tror at det er hovedårsaken til at jeg kom hit i dag,
18:41
And I guess that's the main reason
I came up here today,
I came up here today,
344
1096785
4489
– til alle dere veldig smarte mennesker på TED –
18:46
to all of you very bright people at TED --
345
1101298
2929
for å si: «Hva har du i hånden?»
18:49
it is to say, "What's in your hand?"
346
1104251
1897
Hva har du som har blitt gitt til deg?
18:53
What do you have that you've been given?
347
1108156
3519
18:57
Talent, background, education,
348
1112606
3370
Talent, bakgrunn, utdannelse,
19:01
freedom, networks, opportunities,
349
1116000
4159
frihet, nettverk, muligheter,
rikdom, ideer, kreativitet.
19:05
wealth, ideas, creativity.
350
1120183
3543
19:08
What are you doing
with what you've been given?
with what you've been given?
351
1123750
4049
Hva gjør du
med det som er gitt deg?
19:12
That, to me, is the primary
question about life.
question about life.
352
1127823
3890
For meg er det det viktigste spørsmålet i livet.
19:16
That, to me, is what being
purpose-driven is all about.
purpose-driven is all about.
353
1131737
3082
For meg er det det å være målrettet handler om.
19:20
In the book, I talk about
how you're wired to do certain things,
how you're wired to do certain things,
354
1135999
3204
I boka snakker jeg om at du er skrudd sammen for å gjøre spesielle ting, du er formet.
19:24
you're "SHAPED" with -- a little acrostic:
Spiritual gifts, Heart,
Spiritual gifts, Heart,
355
1139227
3669
Det lille korset tar åndelige gaver, hjerte
19:27
Ability, Personality and Experiences.
356
1142920
2388
evne, personlighet og erfaringer.
Disse tingene former deg.
19:30
These things shape you.
357
1145332
1644
Og hvis du vil vite hva du burde gjøre med livet ditt,
19:32
And if you want to know what you ought
to be doing with your life,
to be doing with your life,
358
1147420
3124
så må du se på formen din. Hva er jeg skrudd sammen til å gjøre?
19:35
you need to look at your shape --
"What am I wired to do?"
"What am I wired to do?"
359
1150568
2737
Hvorfor skulle Gud skru deg sammen til å gjøre noe
19:38
Why would God wire you to do something
and then not have you do it?
and then not have you do it?
360
1153329
3318
og så ikke la deg gjøre det?
Hvis du er skrudd sammen for å være antropolog, så skal du være antropolog.
19:41
If you're wired to be an anthropologist,
you'll be an anthropologist.
you'll be an anthropologist.
361
1156671
3248
Hvis du er skrudd sammen for å være dykker,
19:44
If you're wired to be
an undersea explorer,
an undersea explorer,
362
1159943
2008
så skal du være dykker.
19:46
you'll be an undersea explorer.
363
1161975
1492
Er du skrudd sammen for å gjøre avtaler, så gjør avtaler.
19:48
If you're wired to make deals,
you make deals.
you make deals.
364
1163491
2166
Er du skrudd sammen for å male, så mal.
19:50
If you're wired to paint, you paint.
365
1165681
1959
Visste du at Gud smiler når du er deg?
19:53
Did you know that God smiles
when you be you?
when you be you?
366
1168355
2645
Da mine små barn var små
19:57
When my little kids --
when my kids were little --
when my kids were little --
367
1172574
2347
19:59
they're all grown now, I have grandkids --
368
1174945
2007
– de har vokst opp, nå har jeg barnebarn –
pleide jeg å sitte ved siden av senga deres,
20:01
I used to go in and sit
on the side of their bed,
on the side of their bed,
369
1176976
2312
og jeg pleide å se på at barna mine sov.
20:04
and I used to watch my kids sleep.
370
1179312
1768
Jeg bare så på at kroppene deres hevet og senket seg,
20:07
And I just watched their little bodies
rise and lower, rise and lower.
rise and lower, rise and lower.
371
1182152
5446
hevet og senket seg.
20:12
And I would look at them:
"This is not an accident."
"This is not an accident."
372
1187622
2855
Og jeg så på dem, dette er ikke et uhell.
Heve og senke seg.
20:15
Rise and lower.
373
1190501
1706
Og jeg hadde glede av bare å se på dem sove.
20:18
And I got joy out of just
watching them sleep.

Noen folk har den feiloppfatningen at Gud bare gleder seg

som å gå til kirken eller å hjelpe de fattige,

Bunnlinjen er: Gud gleder seg over å se deg være deg. Hvorfor?

The bottom line is, God gets pleasure

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rick Warren - Pastor, authorPastor Rick Warren is the author of The Purpose-Driven Life, which has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. His has become an immensely influential voice seeking to apply the values of his faith to issues such as global poverty, HIV/AIDS and injustice.
Why you should listen
Pastor Rick Warren is one of the world's most influential Christians. His Saddleback Church, founded in 1980, boasts a congregation of 22,000, and his Purpose-Driven Life is one of the best-selling books of all time. Warren's mission is to attack what he calls the five "Global Goliaths" -- spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and illiteracy and poor education.
He teaches that doing good is the only way humans create significance in our lives. He and his wife famously became "reverse tithers," donating 90 percent of their considerable fortune to philanthropic causes. Warren is particularly passionate about fighting AIDS, and in 2006, his church hosted the second annual Global Summit on AIDS and the Church, attended by US Senator Barack Obama, among others (controversial within the evangelical movement, because Obama is pro-choice).
In recent years, Warren has become a prominent steward of social justice, speaking out on poverty relief and encouraging spiritual leaders to play a role in guiding the planet toward sustainability. (He even attended the premiere of An Inconvenient Truth, after meeting Al Gore and producer Lawrence Bender at TED2006.)
Given his global focus and considerable platform, Warren has become a sought-after advisor to world leaders, speaking at the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations. His involvement in the 2008 Presidential election sparked controversy and praise from both sides; during the campaign trail, he hosted candidates John McCain and Barack Obama at Saddleback Church for a forum on moral issues. It was the first time McCain and Obama appeared together publicly as presidential candidates. When Barack Obama was later elected to office, he asked Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration.
