Protect Your Vineyard — The Peace You Fought For

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,640
When the chaos finally ends,
something strange happens.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,600
You expect relief.
You expect celebration.

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,280
You expect clarity.
But instead, you get quiet.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,560
And that quiet can feel
unfamiliar, uncomfortable, even

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,400
a little scary.
Because for so long, your life

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:34,200
was noise survival mode, crisis
mode, fight through the day

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,600
mode.
And when that noise disappears,

8
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,480
you're left with a question you
might not know how to answer.

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,880
Who am I when I'm no longer
fighting?

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,040
Today we're stepping into that
question together, not alone.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Together with the sobriety crew,
with people who care, with

12
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,600
voices that guide, challenge,
support, and remind you who you

13
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,840
really are.
And before we go anywhere, I

14
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
want to tell you something a
long time friend told me.

15
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,760
His name is Sammy.
The meaning of his name is God

16
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,520
has heard.
I'm not saying that to get deep,

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,440
it just fits him.
He's the kind of friend who

18
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,400
talks calm, talks humble and
somehow says the right thing at

19
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,240
the right time.
So don't quote me, but he said

20
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200
something like this.
This reminds me of that old

21
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,160
story from First Kings 21, the
story of Naboth's vineyard.

22
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Naboth had a vineyard that had
been in his family for

23
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760
generations.
It wasn't just land, it was

24
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,720
identity, legacy, inheritance.
And the king, King Ahab wanted

25
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,680
it.
He tried to buy it, trade for

26
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,280
it, negotiate for it.
But Nabaugh said no.

27
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480
Not because he was stubborn, not
because he was being difficult,

28
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,240
but because it meant something
to him.

29
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,600
He basically said I can't give
up what God gave me.

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280
I can't trade my inheritance
just because someone else wants

31
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,640
it.
And that's exactly what Sammy

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:27,040
was telling me.
Your peace, your healing, your

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,360
identity.
These are what you fought for.

34
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,840
Don't hand them over.
Don't give away what you fought

35
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,640
so hard to build.
Not for pressure, not for guilt,

36
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,000
not for old habits, not for
anyone who wants the old you

37
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,360
back.
Protect your vineyard.

38
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,600
Protect your peace.
Protect the life you've rebuilt.

39
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Let's begin.
You're now tuned in to

40
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Absolutely Focused radio, the
home of clarity, courage, and

41
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:02,080
becoming the strongest version
of yourself.

42
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Today's episode, Protect your
Vineyard.

43
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,760
The peace You fought for,
featuring your host Daniel, your

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,400
sobriety buddy, your master of
ceremonies, Anna Hiriwego, and

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,760
the entire sobriety crew.
Curious Joe, Jane Marie Marcus

46
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,280
The Motivator, Chucky Chip, Be
you.

47
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,000
A sincere, caring friend,
reminding you that everyone else

48
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,360
has taken be yourself.
And today's special guest,

49
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Sammy, the friend whose name
means God has heard and whose

50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,400
wisdom opened today's message.
Let's get focused.

51
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Hey everyone, I'm Anna Hariuego,
your master of ceremonies.

52
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,920
And Daniel just opened us with
something powerful, a reminder

53
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,040
that your peace, your healing,
your identity, they're worth

54
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,880
protecting Today.
The Sobriety crew is here to

55
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,600
break this down in a way that's
real, relatable, and uplifting.

56
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Daniel, take us deeper.
You know, that story really

57
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160
makes me think.
Here's the question that rises

58
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
for me.
What's your vineyard?

59
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000
What's the thing in your life
that you're meant to protect,

60
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,079
even when someone else wants you
to give it up?

61
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Naboth wasn't guarding grapes.
He was guarding identity.

62
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,880
He was guarding legacy.
He was guarding what God

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,920
entrusted to him.
Jane why is it so hard for

64
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,200
people to protect their peace?
Great question, Joe.

65
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Here's what the research shows.
The brain gets used to chaos.

66
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,280
Peace feels unfamiliar.
People pleasing, makes us

67
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,000
compromise.
Identity takes time to rebuild.

68
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Boundaries feel uncomfortable at
first.

69
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,320
So protecting your vineyard
isn't just emotional, it's

70
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,320
neurological.
You're literally rewiring your

71
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,960
brain to honor your peace.
Hey, it's BU and I just want to

72
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,240
remind you of something simple.
Everyone else is taken.

73
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Be yourself.
You don't have to perform here.

74
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880
You don't have to pretend.
You don't have to be perfect.

75
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,320
You just have to be you.
That's enough.

76
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,360
It's always been enough.
Let me add this real quick.

77
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,640
You didn't survive everything.
You survived just to hand your

78
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,040
piece away like it's nothing.
Stand firm, stand tall, stand in

79
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,960
who you're becoming.
Absolutely think of your piece

80
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,920
like your personal firewall.
A firewall isn't emotional, it's

81
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,080
not dramatic.
It's just programmed to protect

82
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880
what's valuable.
Your healing is the system.

83
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Your piece is the firewall.
Your boundaries are the

84
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,240
settings.
Every time you say no to

85
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
something that drains you,
you're updating your security

86
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,280
settings.
Every time you choose peace over

87
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,440
chaos, you're installing a new
patch.

88
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Every time you protect your
identity, you're running a

89
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,280
system upgrade.
Your life is the device, Your

90
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,160
piece is the protection.
Your boundaries are the code.

91
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Keep them updated.
My piece is my vineyard.

92
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,840
I protect what I've built.
I deserve a life that honors who

93
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:11,520
I'm becoming.
I stay aware, I stay curious, I

94
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,760
stay grounded.
My brain is healing.

95
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,040
My patterns are changing.
I choose to be myself.

96
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,400
I feel it in my chest.
I stand firm.

97
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,200
I stand.
Tall.

98
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
I stand in my power.
I update my boundaries like

99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200
software consistently and
intentionally.
