00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:12.292
IN THE GREEN ROOM
00:01:12.292 --> 00:01:15.626
ABOUT HER HAVING
A SINGLE SON
00:01:15.626 --> 00:01:18.042
AND THEN TALKING

00:01:18.042 --> 00:01:18.626

WAS LIKE, IS HE TALL?
00:01:22.751 --> 00:01:24.125
AND SHE WAS VETTING YOU
00:01:24.125 --> 00:01:25.999
BEFORE I EVEN
KNEW ABOUT YOU.
00:01:25.999 --> 00:01:26.459
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:28.542
REBECCA: AND YOU CHECKED

00:01:28.542 --> 00:01:28.999
REBECCA: UH-HUH.
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:29.876
AND IT'S JUST
ONLY FITTING
00:01:29.876 --> 00:01:30.959
THAT IT WAS SUZY
OF ALL PEOPLE.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.999
BECAUSE WE BOTH
LOVE HER SO MUCH,
00:01:32.999 --> 00:01:34.250
IT JUST IS PERFECT.
00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:34.999
JONATHAN: SO AT THE TIME,
00:01:34.999 --> 00:01:36.792
I WAS JUST KIND OF HELPING MY
PARENTS WITH THEIR MINISTRY.
00:01:36.792 --> 00:01:39.876
AND SO AFTER THEY
DID THAT EPISODE,
00:01:39.876 --> 00:01:40.417
MY PARENTS SENT IT TO ME
00:01:40.417 --> 00:01:43.417
AND ASKED ME LIKE CHECK IT
OUT AND SEE HOW THEY DID.
00:01:43.417 --> 00:01:45.542
AND I WAS LIKE OKAY, SURE.
00:01:45.542 --> 00:01:45.999
AND I DIDN'T.
00:01:45.999 --> 00:01:46.792
I KEPT PUTTING IT OFF.
00:01:46.792 --> 00:01:47.542
PUTTING IT OFF,
PUTTING IT OFF.
00:01:47.542 --> 00:01:49.083
AND THEN LIKE A FEW
WEEKS WENT BY,
00:01:49.083 --> 00:01:49.709
I ACTUALLY FELT
00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:52.918
THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMPT
ME TO LOOK AT IT.
00:01:52.918 --> 00:01:53.834
AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY.
00:01:53.834 --> 00:01:55.167
AND SO I OPENED
UP MY LAPTOP,
00:01:55.167 --> 00:01:56.959
AND WENT TO THE EPISODE
AND WATCHED IT.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.834

FUN INTERACTIVE PART
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:01.709
AT THE TOP, RIGHT?
00:02:01.709 --> 00:02:05.584
WHERE ALL OF YOU AND YOUR
SIBLINGS WILL COME OUT
00:02:05.584 --> 00:02:06.542
AND DO SOMETHING.
00:02:06.542 --> 00:02:07.000
AND I SAW YOU
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.667
AND I WAS LIKE, WOW.
00:02:08.667 --> 00:02:09.792
SHE'S PRETTY.
00:02:09.792 --> 00:02:11.125
I WONDER
WHAT HER STORY IS
00:02:11.125 --> 00:02:12.667
AND THAT WAS
PRETTY MUCH IT.
00:02:12.667 --> 00:02:13.042
AND I WAS LIKE
00:02:13.042 --> 00:02:13.999
LET ME HER ADD
HER ON FACEBOOK.
00:02:13.999 --> 00:02:15.999
YOU KNOW, FACEBOOK IS
A GOOD PLACE TO START.
00:02:15.999 --> 00:02:17.918
SO I ADDED YOU
ON FACEBOOK.
00:02:17.918 --> 00:02:19.876
AND I THINK I SENT
YOU A MESSAGE, RIGHT?
00:02:19.876 --> 00:02:20.999
REBECCA: YEAH, YOU
SLID INTO MY DM'S.
00:02:20.999 --> 00:02:23.167
JONATHAN: YEAH, SO I SENT
YOU A MESSAGE.
00:02:23.167 --> 00:02:24.751
REBECCA: ONLY IT
WASN'T INSTAGRAM,
00:02:24.751 --> 00:02:25.999
IT WAS FACEBOOK,
00:02:25.999 --> 00:02:27.918
WHICH AGES US
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
00:02:27.918 --> 00:02:29.626
JONATHAN: HEY, AT LEAST
IT WASN'T MYSPACE.
00:02:29.626 --> 00:02:29.999
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:30.834
REBECCA: THAT'S TRUE.
00:02:30.834 --> 00:02:33.834
JONATHAN: SO, AND WE STARTED
TALKING OVER FACEBOOK.
00:02:33.834 --> 00:02:36.334
BUT THE CONVERSATIONS
WERE GOING WELL
00:02:36.334 --> 00:02:40.501
UNTIL YOU VANISHED RIGHT
WHEN I INVITED YOU.
00:02:40.501 --> 00:02:41.375
REBECCA: I GHOSTED YOU.
00:02:41.375 --> 00:02:42.459
JONATHAN: BECAUSE WE
TALKED FOR A FEW WEEKS,
00:02:42.459 --> 00:02:44.709
AND I INVITED
YOU TO COME OUT
00:02:44.709 --> 00:02:45.167
TO SAN FRANCISCO,
00:02:45.167 --> 00:02:46.167
WHERE I WAS LIVING
AT THE TIME
00:02:46.167 --> 00:02:48.999
WITH A FRIEND, STAY
IN A SEPARATE SPOT,
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:50.792
AS GOOD CHRISTIANS
WOULD DO,
00:02:50.792 --> 00:02:52.792
AND GET TO KNOW YOU MORE.
00:02:52.792 --> 00:02:55.000
REBECCA: YEAH, AND SO THIS
IS WHERE WE LIKE PAUSE
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.999
AND I INTERJECT MY SIDE.
00:02:56.999 --> 00:02:57.417
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:02:57.417 --> 00:03:00.250
REBECCA: SO BASICALLY, I
DID THE SHOW THAT MORNING.
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:01.542
YOUR PARENTS
WERE THE GUESTS.
00:03:01.542 --> 00:03:03.959
I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOUR
PARENTS, BECAUSE I ONLY
00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:04.292
DID THE TOP.
00:03:04.292 --> 00:03:06.834
WALKED UP, AND DID NOT
THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
00:03:06.834 --> 00:03:07.918
DIDN'T THINK TWICE.
00:03:07.918 --> 00:03:10.209
AND THEN SUZY HAD THIS
CONVERSATION
00:03:10.209 --> 00:03:10.999
WITH YOUR MOM.
00:03:10.999 --> 00:03:11.584
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS
00:03:11.584 --> 00:03:14.792
YOUR MOM KNEW NOT TO SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT ME TO YOU
00:03:14.792 --> 00:03:16.292
BECAUSE SHE HAD
DONE THIS BEFORE
00:03:16.292 --> 00:03:18.501
TRYING TO SET YOU
UP WITH A NICE GIRL.
00:03:18.501 --> 00:03:19.999
AND YOU WERE ALWAYS
LIKE, MOM, NO.
00:03:19.999 --> 00:03:21.334
JONATHAN: NOT
EVEN ONCE BEFORE,
00:03:21.334 --> 00:03:22.083
BUT MANY TIMES BEFORE.
00:03:22.083 --> 00:03:23.667
REBECCA: AND SO
YOU WERE LIKE,
00:03:23.667 --> 00:03:24.417
SHE KNEW NOT TO
SAY ANYTHING.
00:03:24.417 --> 00:03:26.125
JONATHAN: I WASN'T GONNA
HAVE ANY OF IT, YEAH.
00:03:26.125 --> 00:03:28.209
REBECCA: BUT SUZY KNEW
I WAS THE OPPOSITE.
00:03:28.209 --> 00:03:29.209
I NEEDED A HEADS UP.
00:03:29.209 --> 00:03:30.999
JONATHAN: WHAT'S
EVEN CRAZIER, TOO,
00:03:30.999 --> 00:03:34.792
IS GO BACK IN TIME,
00:03:34.792 --> 00:03:37.999
SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS,
00:03:37.999 --> 00:03:39.876
DAYSTAR WAS ON IN
OUR LIVING ROOM,
00:03:39.876 --> 00:03:41.626
AND I WAS JUST
PASSING THROUGH.
00:03:41.626 --> 00:03:42.999
REBECCA: WERE YOU
SAVED AT THE TIME?
00:03:42.999 --> 00:03:43.709
JONATHAN: NO.
00:03:43.709 --> 00:03:45.375
REBECCA: OH, MAN.
00:03:45.375 --> 00:03:45.999
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
00:03:45.999 --> 00:03:47.667
JONATHAN: I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT DAYSTAR WAS
00:03:47.667 --> 00:03:48.667
OR EVEN WHAT WAS GOING ON.
00:03:48.667 --> 00:03:51.667
BUT MY MOM, YOU KNOW,
ALWAYS WAS WATCHING DAYSTAR
00:03:51.667 --> 00:03:52.209
I GUESS GROWING UP.
00:03:52.209 --> 00:03:52.999
REBECCA: AND PROPHETIC.
00:03:52.999 --> 00:03:56.292
JONATHAN: YEAH, AND YOU
WERE SINGING ON THE SHOW.
00:03:56.292 --> 00:03:59.501
I HAVE LIKE A GLIMPSE
OF IT IN MY MEMORY.
00:03:59.501 --> 00:04:00.667
MY MOM WAS LIKE,
00:04:00.667 --> 00:04:02.709
I WANT THAT ONE FOR YOU.
00:04:02.709 --> 00:04:03.250
AND I WAS LIKE WHAT?
00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:04.209
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
00:04:04.209 --> 00:04:06.375
LIKE SOME PERSON
ON TV SINGING.
00:04:06.375 --> 00:04:07.209
AND I LIKE WALKED AWAY.
00:04:07.209 --> 00:04:09.459
ANYWAY, NOW YOU CAN
GO ALL THE WAY BACK
00:04:09.459 --> 00:04:10.709
TO CURRENT TIME.
00:04:10.709 --> 00:04:12.542
REBECCA: BUT, WAIT,
WHEN YOUR MOM SAID
00:04:12.542 --> 00:04:13.876
I WANT THAT ONE
FOR YOU,
00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:14.834
IT WAS ME.
00:04:14.834 --> 00:04:16.459
AND YOU
RESPONDED WITH?
00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:18.167
MOM, I DON'T
NEED YOUR HELP.
00:04:18.167 --> 00:04:20.167
I CAN FIND A
GIRL OF MY OWN.
00:04:20.167 --> 00:04:23.000
AND THE IRONY, IT
WAS THE EXACT GIRL
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.292
SHE PICKED OUT
IN THAT MOMENT.
00:04:24.292 --> 00:04:24.959
JONATHAN: CRAZY.
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:25.501
REBECCA: IT'S SO CRAZY.
00:04:25.501 --> 00:04:27.334
BUT IT WAS A
TIMING THING.
00:04:27.334 --> 00:04:28.999
OKAY, SO SUZY
AND YOUR MOM
00:04:28.999 --> 00:04:29.918
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.
00:04:29.918 --> 00:04:30.459
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:32.083
SUZY BASICALLY GIVES
ME A HEADS UP,
00:04:32.083 --> 00:04:33.083
AND SHE SAID,
00:04:33.083 --> 00:04:35.667
HEY, REMEMBER MYLES
AND KATHARINE WEISS,
00:04:35.667 --> 00:04:36.334
THEY WERE ON.
00:04:36.334 --> 00:04:37.375
WELL, THEY HAVE A SON
00:04:37.375 --> 00:04:38.667
THAT'S SINGLE.
00:04:38.667 --> 00:04:39.042
AND HE'S CUTE.
00:04:39.042 --> 00:04:41.709
HE'S TALL AND HE'S
THIS AND HE'S THAT.
00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:44.709
AND I THINK HE MIGHT
REACHING OUT TO YOU.
00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:45.792
SO LIKE BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
00:04:45.792 --> 00:04:47.125
AND I WAS SO GLAD
SHE SAID THAT.
00:04:47.125 --> 00:04:49.375
BECAUSE I HAD PEOPLE
00:04:49.375 --> 00:04:51.083
ADDING ME, MESSAGING ME
00:04:51.083 --> 00:04:52.000
ALL THE TIME ON FACEBOOK.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.999
AND A LOT OF THEM
WERE STRANGE.
00:04:54.999 --> 00:04:55.876
JONATHAN: SUSPECT
INDIVIDUALS.
00:04:55.876 --> 00:04:58.250
SUSPECTS, YEAH, AND SOME
STALKER TYPES, YOU KNOW.
00:04:58.250 --> 00:05:01.999
IT WAS GOOD, NOT THAT YOU
GIVE OFF THAT VIBE AT ALL,
00:05:01.999 --> 00:05:04.292
BUT I GOT A HEADS
UP ABOUT YOU.
00:05:04.292 --> 00:05:04.999
AND SO IT'S SO CRAZY
00:05:04.999 --> 00:05:08.999
IS THE DAY THAT YOU
ADDED ME ON FACEBOOK,
00:05:08.999 --> 00:05:10.918
I HAD BEEN AT A WEDDING
00:05:10.918 --> 00:05:13.999
AND THAT MORNING WE WERE
LEAVING TO DRIVE BACK HOME.
00:05:13.999 --> 00:05:14.751
IT WAS IN HOUSTON.
00:05:14.751 --> 00:05:18.792
AND I REALIZED THAT ONE OF
THE TRAITS THAT I WANTED
00:05:18.792 --> 00:05:19.209
IN A PARTNER
00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:20.292
WAS SOMEONE WHO
WAS ASSERTIVE.
00:05:20.292 --> 00:05:23.918
SOMEONE WHO KNEW WHAT HE
WANTED AND WENT FOR IT.
00:05:23.918 --> 00:05:25.999
WAS PROTECTED,
AND A GO-GETTER.
00:05:25.999 --> 00:05:27.999
AND SO I GOT ON MY
KNEES THAT MORNING,
00:05:27.999 --> 00:05:31.709
AND I PRAYED
SPECIFICALLY, LORD,
00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:32.292
GIVE ME A HUSBAND
00:05:32.292 --> 00:05:33.501
WHO IS ASSERTIVE.
00:05:33.501 --> 00:05:34.999
AND THEN THAT
DAY ON FACEBOOK
00:05:34.999 --> 00:05:36.751
WAS THE DAY YOU ADDED ME.
00:05:36.751 --> 00:05:37.125
JONATHAN: CRAZY.
00:05:37.125 --> 00:05:38.834
AND NOW YOU GET ON
YOUR KNEES EVERYDAY,
00:05:38.834 --> 00:05:39.876
AND YOU'RE LIKE WHY, LORD?
00:05:39.876 --> 00:05:40.667
WHY SO ASSERTIVE?
00:05:40.667 --> 00:05:41.501
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:05:41.501 --> 00:05:41.999
REBECCA: NO.
00:05:41.999 --> 00:05:42.459
I'M SO THANKFUL.
00:05:42.459 --> 00:05:44.083
THIS PODCAST
WOULDN'T BE HERE
00:05:44.083 --> 00:05:45.125
IF YOU HADN'T
BEEN ASSERTIVE.
00:05:45.125 --> 00:05:47.125
ONCE AGAIN, IT'S
SERVED OUR MARRIAGE.
00:05:47.125 --> 00:05:48.626
GOD PUT THAT DESIRE
IN MY HEART,
00:05:48.626 --> 00:05:50.834
BECAUSE I NEEDED
YOU AS A PARTNER.
00:05:50.834 --> 00:05:53.999
JONATHAN: SO I

THE ASSERTIVE, GO-GETTER
THAT YOU ARE.
00:05:58.584 --> 00:06:00.375
ALL THESE OTHER
GUYS IN THE PAST
00:06:00.375 --> 00:06:01.083
WERE KIND OF,
00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:02.501
I HAD DEALT WITH
GUYS IN THE PAST
00:06:02.501 --> 00:06:02.999
THAT WERE SCARED
00:06:02.999 --> 00:06:05.292
OR WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE
THEIR FEELINGS KNOWN.
00:06:05.292 --> 00:06:06.918
YOU WERE JUST SO FORWARD.
00:06:06.918 --> 00:06:07.584
NOT IN A BAD WAY,
00:06:07.584 --> 00:06:08.626
YOU JUST GOT IT DONE.
00:06:08.626 --> 00:06:09.876
LIKE YOU'RE A GO-GETTER,
00:06:09.876 --> 00:06:10.250
YOU'RE A LEADER.
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:12.999
YOU'RE A VISIONARY, YOU KNOW,
AND YOU'RE CONFIDENT.
00:06:12.999 --> 00:06:13.999
AND SO WE WERE TALKING,
00:06:13.999 --> 00:06:16.334
AND THEN YOU WERE LIKE,
HEY, AND YOU DID IT
00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:17.501
IN A TOTALLY COOL WAY.
00:06:17.501 --> 00:06:19.250
NOT EVEN IN A
ROMANTIC WAY,
00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:20.792
JUST IN A VERY CHILL WAY.
00:06:20.792 --> 00:06:21.501
JONATHAN: YEAH,
YEAH, YEAH.
00:06:21.501 --> 00:06:24.000
REBECCA: SAID, I'M TRYING TO
GIVE YOU PROPS OVER HERE.
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.042
YOU INVITE ME TO
SAN FRANCISCO.
00:06:25.042 --> 00:06:27.501
YOU SAID IF YOU'RE EVER IN
SAN FRANCISCO, YOU KNOW,
00:06:27.501 --> 00:06:28.876
WE COULD HANG
OUT, YOU KNOW.
00:06:28.876 --> 00:06:30.000
IF YOU'RE EVER LIKE
WITH A FRIEND,
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.709
IT WAS LIKE TOTALLY CHILL.
00:06:31.709 --> 00:06:33.999
WELL, BASICALLY,
I GHOSTED YOU.
00:06:33.999 --> 00:06:34.918
DID I MEAN TO GHOST YOU?
00:06:34.918 --> 00:06:35.083
NO.
00:06:35.083 --> 00:06:36.626
BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS,
00:06:36.626 --> 00:06:38.751
I GOT INTIMIDATED,
SO DUMB.
00:06:38.751 --> 00:06:41.375
I WAS LIKE, WHAT
IF I RESPOND WRONG?
00:06:41.375 --> 00:06:42.999
I HONESTLY, AT
THE ROOT OF IT,
00:06:42.999 --> 00:06:43.834
I'M GETTING KIND OF DEEP.
00:06:43.834 --> 00:06:45.292
I WAS AFRAID OF REJECTION.
00:06:45.292 --> 00:06:47.083
YOU WERE THIS
REALLY GREAT GUY.
00:06:47.083 --> 00:06:49.000
AND I FELT LIKE
I HAD TO ANSWER
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.792
THE MESSAGES PERFECTLY.
00:06:49.792 --> 00:06:52.375
I WAS PUTTING ON THIS
STUPID PRESSURE ON MYSELF.
00:06:52.375 --> 00:06:53.792
I GOT SO SCARED
00:06:53.792 --> 00:06:56.626
THAT I WOULDN'T EVEN
OPEN UP THE MESSAGE.
00:06:56.626 --> 00:06:57.667
SO YOU THOUGHT,
00:06:57.667 --> 00:06:58.209
OH, I FREAKED HER OUT
00:06:58.209 --> 00:06:59.876
BY INVITING HER
TO SAN FRANCISCO.
00:06:59.876 --> 00:07:02.250
BUT REALLY I PSYCHED
MYSELF OUT,
00:07:02.250 --> 00:07:04.999
ALMOST MISSED OUT ON
GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE.
00:07:04.999 --> 00:07:07.000
SO DO NOT LET FEAR
DRIVE YOUR DECISIONS.
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.999
I WOULD SAY THAT
TO PEOPLE WATCHING.
00:07:08.999 --> 00:07:09.999
BUT THANK GOODNESS
00:07:09.999 --> 00:07:10.834
FOR THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:07:10.834 --> 00:07:13.501
I ENDED UP, THIS IS DURING
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.
00:07:13.501 --> 00:07:15.999
I ENDED UP GOING TO
NIGERIA WITH MY DAD.
00:07:15.999 --> 00:07:19.042
AND SHORTLY AFTER I GOT
BACK HOME FROM THAT TRIP,
00:07:19.042 --> 00:07:22.000
I REALIZED I NEED
TO JUST SUCK IT UP
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.876
AND MESSAGE THIS GUY BACK.
00:07:23.876 --> 00:07:24.792
WELL, I HAD NO IDEA
00:07:24.792 --> 00:07:27.125
LIKE A MONTH HAD PASSED.
00:07:27.125 --> 00:07:27.999
AND I'M THINKING,
00:07:27.999 --> 00:07:29.999
HE WILL NEVER TALK
TO ME EVER AGAIN.
00:07:29.999 --> 00:07:32.334
LIKE HE'S NEVER GONNA
TALK TO ME EVER AGAIN.
00:07:32.334 --> 00:07:33.626
I'VE MESSED IT UP.
00:07:33.626 --> 00:07:36.999
AND SO I REMEMBER
MY FRIEND KAYLA,
00:07:36.999 --> 00:07:37.834
WE BOTH WORKED AT DAYSTAR.
00:07:37.834 --> 00:07:39.584
WE WERE SHARING AN
OFFICE AT THE TIME.
00:07:39.584 --> 00:07:40.999
I SAID, KAYLA,
SHE'S A WRITER.
00:07:40.999 --> 00:07:43.083
I SAID, PLEASE HELP ME
WRITE A GOOD MESSAGE
00:07:43.083 --> 00:07:44.501
BACK TO THIS GUY.
00:07:44.501 --> 00:07:45.751
AND SO WE CONSTRUCTED,
00:07:45.751 --> 00:07:47.751
WE TOOK LIKE 20 MINUTES
FOR LIKE A LITTLE MESSAGE.
00:07:47.751 --> 00:07:50.959
BUT WE CONSTRUCTED THIS
PERFECTLY THOUGHT-OUT MESSAGE
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.501
AND I SENT IT TO YOU.
00:07:51.501 --> 00:07:54.000
AND I REMEMBER
THREE DAYS,
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.959
YOU DID NOT RESPOND.
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.042
I SAW THE LITTLE READ,
00:07:57.042 --> 00:07:58.167
LIKE YOU HAD READ
THE MESSAGE,
00:07:58.167 --> 00:07:59.792
BUT IT WAS JUST
LEAVING ME OUT TO DRY.
00:07:59.792 --> 00:08:02.459
AND I WAS THINKING,
OH, I'VE MESSED IT UP.
00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:03.999
I'VE COMPLETELY RUINED IT.
00:08:03.999 --> 00:08:05.501
BUT THREE DAYS LATER.
00:08:05.501 --> 00:08:06.709
JONATHAN: WHICH IS
THE PERFECT AMOUNT
00:08:06.709 --> 00:08:08.000
OF LIKE PUNISHMENT TIME.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.292
REBECCA: YEAH,
I DESERVED IT.
00:08:09.292 --> 00:08:09.876
I DESERVED IT.
00:08:09.876 --> 00:08:11.918
BUT YOU MESSAGED ME BACK.
00:08:11.918 --> 00:08:13.334
WE EXCHANGED NUMBERS.
00:08:13.334 --> 00:08:13.959
JONATHAN: OKAY.
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.751
REBECCA: AND I SAVED HIS
CONTACT INFORMATION
00:08:16.751 --> 00:08:17.999
IN MY PHONE.
00:08:17.999 --> 00:08:20.626
SO THAT THE FIRST
TIME HE CALLED ME.
00:08:20.626 --> 00:08:21.250
JONATHAN: YEAH, THIS IS --
00:08:21.250 --> 00:08:23.292
REBECCA: TALK ABOUT
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY.
00:08:23.292 --> 00:08:25.751
I WAS LIKE, HEY.
00:08:25.751 --> 00:08:26.959
JONATHAN: YOU WERE

OH, WOW, YOU
SAVED MY NUMBER.
00:08:30.042 --> 00:08:31.709
AND YOU THOUGHT
IT WAS SO CUTE.
00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:32.083
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:08:32.083 --> 00:08:33.709
REBECCA: AND I WAS SO
EMBARRASSED RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
00:08:33.709 --> 00:08:35.999
AND WE HAD A SHORT LITTLE
CUTE CONVERSATION.
00:08:35.999 --> 00:08:37.584
HIM BEING THE
GENIUS THAT YOU ARE.
00:08:37.584 --> 00:08:40.459
YOU HAD PERFECTLY SCHEDULED
YOUR TIME AT THE DMV,
00:08:40.459 --> 00:08:42.542
SO YOU ONLY HAD LIKE
TEN MINUTES TO TALK.
00:08:42.542 --> 00:08:44.292
JONATHAN: YEAH, JUST IN CASE
IT WASN'T GOING GOOD,
00:08:44.292 --> 00:08:44.999
I HAD A GOOD OUT.
00:08:44.999 --> 00:08:46.417
REBECCA: YOU
HAD A GOOD OUT.
00:08:46.417 --> 00:08:48.667
BUT WE BOTH
WERE LIKE, HMM.
00:08:48.667 --> 00:08:51.584
AND SO THE SECOND
TIME YOU CALLED ME,
00:08:51.584 --> 00:08:52.125
IT WAS --
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:53.375
JONATHAN: YOU WERE
RUNNING AROUND
00:08:53.375 --> 00:08:55.042
ON YOUR WAY TO
PICK UP BALLOONS
00:08:55.042 --> 00:08:55.834
FOR HEART FOR THE WORLD.
00:08:55.834 --> 00:08:57.459
REBECCA: THAT WAS THE
FIRST TIME WE TALKED.
00:08:57.459 --> 00:08:59.542
THE SECOND TIME WE TALKED
00:08:59.542 --> 00:09:00.959
I REMEMBER I
HAD GOTTEN HOME
00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:02.417
FROM HANGING OUT
WITH A FRIEND,
00:09:02.417 --> 00:09:04.334
AND I WENT OUT
TO THE BACKYARD.
00:09:04.334 --> 00:09:05.999
WE TALKED FOR TWO HOURS
00:09:05.999 --> 00:09:07.167
UNTIL MY PHONE DIED.
00:09:07.167 --> 00:09:08.334
JONATHAN: AND
THAT'S WHEN I KNEW,
00:09:08.334 --> 00:09:09.876
THAT CONVERSATION
IS WHEN I KNEW.
00:09:09.876 --> 00:09:11.501
REBECCA: SEE, YOU
KNEW BEFORE I DID.
00:09:11.501 --> 00:09:12.792
BUT I REMEMBER
THINKING TO MYSELF
00:09:12.792 --> 00:09:13.292
IN THAT CONVERSATION.
00:09:13.292 --> 00:09:14.167
BECAUSE IT WASN'T
JUST A NORMAL --
00:09:14.167 --> 00:09:15.999
JONATHAN: I MEAN, I DIDN'T
KNOW LIKE I'M GONNA MARRY --
00:09:15.999 --> 00:09:17.876
REBECCA: OH, ME
BACKPEDALS, FOLKS.
00:09:17.876 --> 00:09:20.167
JONATHAN: BUT I
KNEW THAT IT WAS REAL.
00:09:20.167 --> 00:09:21.876
LIKE THE CHEMISTRY
WAS REAL.
00:09:21.876 --> 00:09:23.999
THE PASSION, THE
SIMILAR
00:09:23.999 --> 00:09:24.999
PASSIONS WERE REAL.
00:09:24.999 --> 00:09:25.959
REBECCA: THAT
WAS A BIG THING.
00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:27.751
JONATHAN: THE
VALUES WERE THERE.
00:09:27.751 --> 00:09:30.876
JONATHAN: THE
PASSION FOR THE LORD.
REBECCA: BECAUSE IT WASN'T
A NORMAL CONVERSATION.
00:09:30.876 --> 00:09:31.167
IT WASN'T.
00:09:31.167 --> 00:09:33.459
WE TALKED ABOUT A
LOT OF DEEP STUFF.
00:09:33.459 --> 00:09:34.959
REBECCA: OUR
HEARTS LINED UP
00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:35.501
ON A LOT OF THINGS.
00:09:35.501 --> 00:09:36.209
JONATHAN: OUR
HEARTS LINED UP
00:09:36.209 --> 00:09:37.584
ON A LOT OF THINGS.
00:09:37.584 --> 00:09:39.000
THERE WAS GREAT CHEMISTRY.
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.501
I JUST REMEMBER WHEN
THAT CONVERSATION DIED,
00:09:41.501 --> 00:09:43.417
BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE
A PHONE DYING,
00:09:43.417 --> 00:09:45.042
YOU KNOW, I REALLY
KNEW, OH, WOW,
00:09:45.042 --> 00:09:46.375
THIS IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.
00:09:46.375 --> 00:09:47.999
REBECCA: AND I THOUGHT
THE EXACT SAME THING.
00:09:47.999 --> 00:09:49.501
I WAS LIKE I THINK
00:09:49.501 --> 00:09:51.459
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.
00:09:51.459 --> 00:09:52.626
SO WE STARTED TALKING.
00:09:52.626 --> 00:09:56.584
AND WE'RE TALKING LIKE
THREE HOURS, TWO HOURS.
00:09:56.584 --> 00:09:57.999
YOU WERE CALLING
ME TWICE A DAY
00:09:57.999 --> 00:09:59.542
ON YOUR WAY INTO WORK,
00:09:59.542 --> 00:10:00.876
ON YOUR WAY HOME.
00:10:00.876 --> 00:10:01.999
AND THIS WAS ALL
LONG DISTANCE.
00:10:01.999 --> 00:10:02.501
WE WERE NOT DATING.
00:10:02.501 --> 00:10:04.709
WE WERE JUST GETTING
TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
00:10:04.709 --> 00:10:07.626
AND I REMEMBER THAT
00:10:07.626 --> 00:10:09.083
ONE OF THE THINGS
I LOVED ABOUT YOU,
00:10:09.083 --> 00:10:10.083
IT WAS DIFFERENT
FROM ANY GUY
00:10:10.083 --> 00:10:11.375
I'D EVER TALKED TO,
00:10:11.375 --> 00:10:11.999
WAS A LOT OF TIMES
00:10:11.999 --> 00:10:13.792
WHEN YOU'RE FIRST STARTING
TO TALK TO SOMEONE,
00:10:13.792 --> 00:10:15.375
YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO
CONNECT WITH THEM.
00:10:15.375 --> 00:10:18.626
AND SO YOU MIGHT HAVE LIKE
A DIFFERENCE IN OPINIONS,
00:10:18.626 --> 00:10:20.459
OR A DIFFERENCE
IN INTERESTS,
00:10:20.459 --> 00:10:21.334
BUT YOU'LL JUST
KIND OF BE LIKE,
00:10:21.334 --> 00:10:22.250
OH, YEAH, I
LIKE THAT, TOO,
00:10:22.250 --> 00:10:24.751
BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST
TRYING TO LIKE CONNECT.
00:10:24.751 --> 00:10:25.375
JONATHAN: NOT ME.
00:10:25.375 --> 00:10:25.999
REBECCA: OH, NO.
00:10:25.999 --> 00:10:27.250
JONATHAN WEISS, OH, NO.
00:10:27.250 --> 00:10:28.834
I REMEMBER WE
TALKED ABOUT
00:10:28.834 --> 00:10:29.918
SUPERHERO MOVIES.
00:10:29.918 --> 00:10:31.751
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I
LOVE SUPERHERO MOVIES.
00:10:31.751 --> 00:10:33.999
AND I REMEMBER YOU STRAIGHT
UP ON THE PHONE WERE LIKE,
00:10:33.999 --> 00:10:35.375
OH, I DON'T LIKE
THOSE AT ALL.
00:10:35.375 --> 00:10:35.959
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:37.250
REBECCA: WHICH SHOOK,
BUT I WAS IMPRESSED.
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.959
BECAUSE I THOUGHT
TO MYSELF, WOW.
00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:41.000
HE IS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.999
LIKE I KNOW LIKE HE'S GONNA
BE TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
00:10:42.999 --> 00:10:46.083
HE'S NOT TRYING, IT'S NOT
THAT YOU WEREN'T TRYING
00:10:46.083 --> 00:10:46.834
TO LIKE WIN ME OVER.
00:10:46.834 --> 00:10:49.584
BUT YOU WEREN'T GONNA BE
ANYTHING BUT YOURSELF.
00:10:49.584 --> 00:10:50.000
JONATHAN: UH-HUH.
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.709
REBECCA: AND SO I
LOVED THAT ABOUT YOU.
00:10:51.709 --> 00:10:54.959
SO FAST FORWARD,
THREE MONTHS PASS.
00:10:54.959 --> 00:10:57.375
AND WE BOTH REALIZE,
00:10:57.375 --> 00:10:59.083
WE GOT TO SEE EACH
OTHER IN PERSON.
00:10:59.083 --> 00:10:59.709
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:10:59.709 --> 00:11:00.918
REBECCA: AND THIS IS, I
THINK WE GOT TO A POINT,
00:11:00.918 --> 00:11:02.959
WHERE WE REALIZED, OKAY,
WE HAVE SOMETHING.
00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:04.501
BUT WE'RE NOT
GONNA REALLY KNOW
00:11:04.501 --> 00:11:06.834
IF WE CAN TAKE THIS
TO THE NEXT STEP.
00:11:06.834 --> 00:11:07.334
BECAUSE AT THE TIME,
00:11:07.334 --> 00:11:08.083
WE WEREN'T DATING.
00:11:08.083 --> 00:11:08.709
JONATHAN: RIGHT.
00:11:08.709 --> 00:11:09.751
REBECCA: WE THOUGHT, OKAY,
WE HAVE TO MEET
00:11:09.751 --> 00:11:10.292
EACH OTHER IN PERSON.
00:11:10.292 --> 00:11:12.501
BECAUSE IT'S TWO
DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:11:12.501 --> 00:11:15.125
SO WE ARRANGED THE TRIP
00:11:15.125 --> 00:11:17.042
FOR ME TO GO TO
SAN FRANCISCO.
00:11:17.042 --> 00:11:19.209
I BRING MY BEST
FRIEND WITH ME.
00:11:19.209 --> 00:11:21.667
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET
00:11:21.667 --> 00:11:22.626
FLYING ON THE WAY THERE,
00:11:22.626 --> 00:11:26.125
EVERY TIME THE PLANE KIND
OF LIKE MOVED OR LIKE FELT
00:11:26.125 --> 00:11:27.792
LIKE IT WAS DESCENDING,
00:11:27.792 --> 00:11:29.042
MY HEART WOULD RACE
00:11:29.042 --> 00:11:30.417
BECAUSE I WAS SO --
00:11:30.417 --> 00:11:31.459
JONATHAN: OH, I
DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
00:11:31.459 --> 00:11:32.042
REBECCA: NERVOUS.
00:11:32.042 --> 00:11:33.083
OH, MY GOSH.
00:11:33.083 --> 00:11:34.000
I WAS SO NERVOUS
TO MEET YOU.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.250
AND I REMEMBER GOING
THROUGH THE AIRPORT,
00:11:36.250 --> 00:11:38.042
MORGAN WAS LIKE,
OH, I SEE HIM.
00:11:38.042 --> 00:11:38.792
AND I WAS JUST --
00:11:38.792 --> 00:11:39.626
SHE WAS PLAYING
A JOKE ON ME.
00:11:39.626 --> 00:11:41.167
AND I WAS JUST
LIKE, OH, NO.
00:11:41.167 --> 00:11:42.999
I'M NOT READY.
00:11:42.999 --> 00:11:44.999
AND SO WE MET.
00:11:44.999 --> 00:11:47.918
JONATHAN: REALLY FUN TRIP.
I WAS SO NERVOUS.
00:11:47.918 --> 00:11:49.999
REBECCA: THAT FIRST NIGHT,
00:11:49.999 --> 00:11:51.083
MY MOM WAS ON,
00:11:51.083 --> 00:11:52.999
I DON'T KNOW IF
PINS AND NEEDLES
00:11:52.999 --> 00:11:53.999
IS THE RIGHT PHRASE,
00:11:53.999 --> 00:11:54.709
BUT MY MOM WAS LIKE
00:11:54.709 --> 00:11:56.834
WANTING TO KNOW HOW
IT WAS ALL GOING.
00:11:56.834 --> 00:11:59.999
AND I REMEMBER I ONLY
SENT HER ONE TEXT.
00:11:59.999 --> 00:12:00.918
AND THE TEXT,
00:12:00.918 --> 00:12:01.709
THIS IS SO DUMB.
00:12:01.709 --> 00:12:04.042
BUT THE TEXT SAID,
HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:12:04.042 --> 00:12:06.751
WELL, THAT WAS
THE THING I SENT HER.
00:12:06.751 --> 00:12:07.292
JONATHAN: THAT'S FUNNY.
00:12:07.292 --> 00:12:08.250
REBECCA: YOU WERE
MORE THAN BEAUTIFUL,
00:12:08.250 --> 00:12:10.792
BUT I WAS JUST, SHE
KNEW IT WAS GOING WELL.
00:12:10.792 --> 00:12:12.667
BUT I WAS SO CAUGHT
UP IN THE MOMENT.
00:12:12.667 --> 00:12:13.501
I COULD ONLY SEND
00:12:13.501 --> 00:12:16.542
ONE LITTLE QUICK
TEXT TO HER.
00:12:16.542 --> 00:12:17.626
BUT ON THAT TRIP,
00:12:17.626 --> 00:12:19.375
WE HIT IT OFF.
00:12:19.375 --> 00:12:21.209
AND AT THE END,
00:12:21.209 --> 00:12:22.584
ON SATURDAY NIGHT,
00:12:22.584 --> 00:12:25.751
WE HAD THE TALK,
INITIATED BY ME.
00:12:25.751 --> 00:12:26.375
JONATHAN: UH-HUH.
00:12:26.375 --> 00:12:29.751
REBECCA: WHAT I DID
NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU,
00:12:29.751 --> 00:12:32.584
WAS THAT MANY
GIRLS IN THE PAST,
00:12:32.584 --> 00:12:36.167
MANY WOMEN HAD TRIED
TO INITIATE THE TALK,
00:12:36.167 --> 00:12:37.999
THE RELATIONSHIP
TALK THAT,
00:12:37.999 --> 00:12:38.999
WHAT'S IT CALLED, DTR,
00:12:38.999 --> 00:12:40.125
DETERMINE THE
RELATIONSHIP.
00:12:40.125 --> 00:12:40.834
JONATHAN: DEFINE.
00:12:40.834 --> 00:12:42.417
REBECCA: DEFINE THE
RELATIONSHIP.
00:12:42.417 --> 00:12:43.999
MANY WOMEN IN
THE PAST
00:12:43.999 --> 00:12:45.417
INITIATED THIS
TALK WITH YOU.
00:12:45.417 --> 00:12:47.083
AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHEN
YOU WOULD USUALLY
00:12:47.083 --> 00:12:47.999
JUST BE LIKE,
00:12:47.999 --> 00:12:49.999
I'M NOT INTERESTED
A LOT OF THE TIMES.
00:12:49.999 --> 00:12:51.999
YOU WERE NEVER GONNA JUST
GET IN A RELATIONSHIP
00:12:51.999 --> 00:12:53.125
JUST TO BE IN A
RELATIONSHIP.
00:12:53.125 --> 00:12:55.999
YOU WERE ALWAYS, YOU TOOK
DATING VERY SERIOUSLY
00:12:55.999 --> 00:12:57.292
AT THIS PHASE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:12:57.292 --> 00:12:57.918
JONATHAN: TRUE.
00:12:57.918 --> 00:12:58.584
REBECCA: I
DIDN'T KNOW THAT
00:12:58.584 --> 00:12:59.792
I WAS POTENTIALLY
THROWING A BOMB
00:12:59.792 --> 00:13:00.792
ON OUR RELATIONSHIP.
00:13:00.792 --> 00:13:02.167
BUT I WAS READY.
00:13:02.167 --> 00:13:03.792
I WAS LIKE I
LIKE THIS GUY.
00:13:03.792 --> 00:13:06.542
AND, YOU KNOW, I
KNEW WHAT I WANTED.
00:13:06.542 --> 00:13:07.667
SO I OPENED THAT
CONVERSATION
00:13:07.667 --> 00:13:10.083
AND TELL US ABOUT WHAT WAS
GOING ON, ON YOUR END.
00:13:10.083 --> 00:13:12.209
JONATHAN: WELL, I WASN'T
TOO ENTHUSIASTIC
00:13:12.209 --> 00:13:15.584
ABOUT GETTING RIGHT
INTO A RELATIONSHIP.
00:13:15.584 --> 00:13:17.584
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
00:13:17.584 --> 00:13:18.999
I FACTORED IN THAT
00:13:18.999 --> 00:13:19.999
WE WERE LONG DISTANCE.
00:13:19.999 --> 00:13:22.999
AND THE ONLY WAY TO
REALLY VET IT OUT
00:13:22.999 --> 00:13:24.542
WAS TO BE COMMITTED
TO EACH OTHER
00:13:24.542 --> 00:13:25.167
IS KIND OF WHAT I THOUGHT.
00:13:25.167 --> 00:13:29.000
WE HAD TALKED FOR ENOUGH
TIME LEADING UP TO THAT,
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.501
THAT I WAS LIKE, OKAY,
00:13:31.501 --> 00:13:33.626
YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T
SAY I LOVED HER.
00:13:33.626 --> 00:13:35.709
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF
I LOVED YOU YET,
00:13:35.709 --> 00:13:36.083
MAYBE I DID.
00:13:36.083 --> 00:13:39.792
BUT I DEFINITELY
LIKE HER ENOUGH,
00:13:39.792 --> 00:13:43.999
I LOVED SPENDING THIS
WEEK OR WEEKEND WITH HER.
00:13:43.999 --> 00:13:45.167
I GUESS IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
00:13:45.167 --> 00:13:48.042
I COULD ALWAYS COUNT
MY LOSSES LATER.
00:13:48.042 --> 00:13:49.959
REBECCA: AND REMEMBER,
I WAS GONNA GO
00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:52.751
ON THIS LONG MINISTRY
TRIP WITH DAD
00:13:52.751 --> 00:13:54.292
AND MY FAMILY
TO AUSTRALIA,
00:13:54.292 --> 00:13:56.501
SINGAPORE, NEW ZEALAND.
00:13:56.501 --> 00:13:58.375
AND I WAS LIKE I'M ABOUT
TO GO ON THIS TRIP,
00:13:58.375 --> 00:14:01.042
AND I NEED TO KNOW LIKE
WHERE DO WE STAND.
00:14:01.042 --> 00:14:03.918
AND SO YOU WENT FOR IT.
00:14:03.918 --> 00:14:04.292
JONATHAN: I DID.
00:14:04.292 --> 00:14:05.375
REBECCA: I WAS
SO PROUD OF YOU.
00:14:05.375 --> 00:14:06.667
WE STARTED DATING.
00:14:06.667 --> 00:14:07.959
AND I LOVED BEING
ABLE TO GO ON MY TRIP,
00:14:07.959 --> 00:14:11.542
AND TELL EVERYONE I
HAVE A BOYFRIEND.
00:14:11.542 --> 00:14:13.292
I WAS SO PROUD
TO BE DATING YOU.
00:14:13.292 --> 00:14:14.999
SO PROUD TO BE
MARRIED TO YOU.
00:14:14.999 --> 00:14:18.000
SO FAST FORWARD, WE START
DATING LONG DISTANCE.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.209
I WOULD COME TO
SAN FRANCISCO.
00:14:19.209 --> 00:14:20.626
JONATHAN: YEAH,
ABOUT ONCE A MONTH,
00:14:20.626 --> 00:14:21.834
WE WERE SWAPPING.
00:14:21.834 --> 00:14:23.459
REBECCA: YOU WOULD
COME TO TEXAS.
00:14:23.459 --> 00:14:25.542
SHOUT OUT TO THE
JEWS FOR JESUS HOUSE.
00:14:25.542 --> 00:14:26.959
THAT'S WHERE WE STAYED.
00:14:26.959 --> 00:14:27.542
IT WAS A MINISTRY HOME
00:14:27.542 --> 00:14:29.459
AND OTHER PEOPLE
WERE LIVING THERE.
00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.999
AND IT WAS ALL
ACCOUNTABLE.
00:14:30.999 --> 00:14:31.501
WE WERE PURE,
00:14:31.501 --> 00:14:33.334
I JUST WANT TO PUT
ALL THAT OUT THERE.
00:14:33.334 --> 00:14:34.834
THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO US.
00:14:34.834 --> 00:14:36.834
JONATHAN: ABOUT
SEVEN OR SO MONTHS
00:14:36.834 --> 00:14:38.999
OF DATING BACK
AND FORTH --
00:14:38.999 --> 00:14:40.999
REBECCA: LET'S TAP
ON THIS THOUGH.
00:14:40.999 --> 00:14:42.042
WHEN WE STARTED DATING,
00:14:42.042 --> 00:14:44.792
IT WAS GREAT,
WE FELL IN LOVE.
00:14:44.792 --> 00:14:45.918
BUT I MEAN, EVEN THEN,
00:14:45.918 --> 00:14:49.999
THERE WAS SOME SPIRITUAL
WARFARE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:14:49.999 --> 00:14:52.999
THERE WAS HARD
CIRCUMSTANCES GOING ON
00:14:52.999 --> 00:14:53.834
THAT WAS
DIRECTING YOU.
00:14:53.834 --> 00:14:54.709
JONATHAN: YEAH,
KIND OF LIKE
00:14:54.709 --> 00:14:56.000
THE STORY OF MY LIFE,
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.918
HARD CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:14:56.918 --> 00:14:57.709
WHENEVER THERE'S
SOMETHING
00:14:57.709 --> 00:14:58.125
GOOD GOING ON,
00:14:58.125 --> 00:15:01.999
IT'S MET BY SEVERE
OPPOSITION.
00:15:01.999 --> 00:15:05.334
SO, BUT IT WENT FAST.
00:15:05.334 --> 00:15:07.999
YOU KNOW, LIKE ONCE WE
STARTED DATING --
00:15:07.999 --> 00:15:09.375
REBECCA: IT DID
GO FAST. JONATHAN: WE BOTH
LIKE WERE REALLY
00:15:09.375 --> 00:15:10.167
INVESTED IN EACH
OTHER
00:15:10.167 --> 00:15:11.042
AND GETTING TO
KNOW EACH OTHER
00:15:11.042 --> 00:15:12.999
AND LIKE DEEPEN THE
RELATIONSHIP.
00:15:12.999 --> 00:15:16.334
AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING,
WE WERE TRYING TO SEE
00:15:16.334 --> 00:15:18.542
LIKE IS THIS OUR
LIFE PARTNER.
00:15:18.542 --> 00:15:19.709
SO --
00:15:19.709 --> 00:15:20.626
REBECCA: WE TOOK IT BOTH,
00:15:20.626 --> 00:15:22.000
ALMOST TOO SERIOUSLY.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.542
LIKE WE WERE JUST SO
INTENSE SOMETIMES.
00:15:24.542 --> 00:15:24.999
JONATHAN: MAYBE.
00:15:24.999 --> 00:15:25.918
REBECCA: IF I
COULD DO BACK,
00:15:25.918 --> 00:15:26.876
I WOULD BE EASE
UP A LITTLE BIT.
00:15:26.876 --> 00:15:27.375
LIKE JUST ENJOY IT.
00:15:27.375 --> 00:15:29.209
JONATHAN: OH, NO, WE HAD A
LOT OF FUN, TOO, THOUGH.
00:15:29.209 --> 00:15:30.709
REBECCA: WE HAD
SO MUCH FUN.
00:15:30.709 --> 00:15:31.083
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:15:31.083 --> 00:15:32.000
REBECCA: BUT WE HAD
TO BE INTENTIONAL,
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.999
BECAUSE WE LIVED IN
TWO DIFFERENT STATES.
00:15:33.999 --> 00:15:34.584
JONATHAN: TOTALLY.
00:15:34.584 --> 00:15:36.999
REBECCA: SO WE STARTED
DATING LONG DISTANCE,
00:15:36.999 --> 00:15:38.542
AND THEN YOU DECIDE...
00:15:38.542 --> 00:15:41.501
JONATHAN: WELL,
YEAH, WE KNEW
00:15:41.501 --> 00:15:42.501
OR I KNEW THAT,
00:15:42.501 --> 00:15:43.375
I WANTED TO MARRY YOU
00:15:43.375 --> 00:15:45.999
AT SOME POINT IN
OUR DATING PROCESS.
00:15:45.999 --> 00:15:47.792
AND THEN YOU
GUYS INVITED ME
00:15:47.792 --> 00:15:50.459
TO GO ON A MINISTRY
TRIP TO ISRAEL.
00:15:50.459 --> 00:15:51.501
AND THAT WAS COOL
00:15:51.501 --> 00:15:52.542
BECAUSE I'M JEWISH
00:15:52.542 --> 00:15:53.083
AND I LIVED IN ISRAEL
00:15:53.083 --> 00:15:56.834
AND I'D BEEN THERE LIKE
FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE.
00:15:56.834 --> 00:15:58.083
REBECCA: A LOT OF
SIGNIFICANCE THERE.
00:15:58.083 --> 00:16:00.876
JONATHAN: A LOT OF
SIGNIFICANCE THERE FOR SURE.
00:16:00.876 --> 00:16:02.042
FOR OUR MARRIAGE,
AND FAMILY,
00:16:02.042 --> 00:16:03.459
AND THE FUTURE AS WELL.
00:16:03.459 --> 00:16:04.834
BUT WHILE WE
WERE IN ISRAEL,
00:16:04.834 --> 00:16:07.125
I DECIDED THIS IS A
REALLY COOL PLACE
00:16:07.125 --> 00:16:09.626
FOR ME TO ASK FOR MARCUS
00:16:09.626 --> 00:16:12.792
TO GIVE HIS BLESSING FOR
ME TO PROPOSE TO REBECCA.
00:16:12.792 --> 00:16:14.209
AND SO ONE NIGHT
OUT TO DINNER,
00:16:14.209 --> 00:16:17.584
HE GETS UP EARLY, RIGHT
AS THE CHECK IS COMING,
00:16:17.584 --> 00:16:19.999
YOU KNOW, GO ON TO THE
ROOM AND REST,
00:16:19.999 --> 00:16:21.292
BECAUSE WE'RE DOING
MINISTRY EVERYDAY
00:16:21.292 --> 00:16:22.083
WHILE WE'RE THERE.
00:16:22.083 --> 00:16:24.167
AND I CHASE HIM DOWN IN
THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM,
00:16:24.167 --> 00:16:27.459
AND YELL HIS NAME, AND
SCARE HIM HALF TO DEATH.
00:16:27.459 --> 00:16:28.667
REBECCA: I'LL
NEVER FORGET THAT,
00:16:28.667 --> 00:16:30.542
BECAUSE I SAW THAT HAPPEN.
00:16:30.542 --> 00:16:31.167
BUT Y'ALL GOT AHEAD OF ME.
00:16:31.167 --> 00:16:32.834
SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU
WERE ASKING HIM ABOUT.
00:16:32.834 --> 00:16:34.751
JONATHAN: YEAH, I WAS TRYING
TO BE LOW KEY ABOUT IT.
00:16:34.751 --> 00:16:35.417
BUT I BASICALLY
WAS LIKE --
00:16:35.417 --> 00:16:38.542
REBECCA: YOU WERE LIKE, MARCUS,
AND THEN HE LIKE DID RUN
00:16:38.542 --> 00:16:38.999
DOWN THE STREET
00:16:38.999 --> 00:16:41.667
AND MY DAD WAS KIND
OF LIKE CONFUSED.
00:16:41.667 --> 00:16:42.417
JONATHAN: IT'S A DAYSTAR FAN
00:16:42.417 --> 00:16:44.292
IN THE STREETS
OF JERUSALEM.
00:16:44.292 --> 00:16:45.751
REBECCA: SO YOU ASKED
TO MEET WITH HIM.
00:16:45.751 --> 00:16:46.834
JONATHAN: I ASKED TO
MEET WITH HIM PRIVATELY.
00:16:46.834 --> 00:16:50.250
SO WE GOT TOGETHER ONE
MORNING, AND, YOU KNOW,
00:16:50.250 --> 00:16:53.083
WENT AND ASKED
FOR HIS BLESSING
00:16:53.083 --> 00:16:54.834
AND HE GAVE IT TO ME.
00:16:54.834 --> 00:16:55.542
AND THAT WAS REALLY COOL
00:16:55.542 --> 00:16:58.792
TO GET THAT MOMENT
IN JERUSALEM.
00:16:58.792 --> 00:17:00.709
CAME BACK AND
STARTED PLANNING,
00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.584
AND, YOU KNOW, COMING UP
WITH HOW I WANTED
00:17:02.584 --> 00:17:03.999
TO PROPOSE TO REBECCA.
00:17:03.999 --> 00:17:04.334
AT THE TIME,
00:17:04.334 --> 00:17:05.167
I WAS THINKING IT
WOULD BE ON ONE
00:17:05.167 --> 00:17:07.292
OF OUR TRIPS OUT HERE
00:17:07.292 --> 00:17:09.999
OR OUT TO SAN FRANCISCO.
00:17:09.999 --> 00:17:11.959
THAT ENDED UP NOT
BEING THE CASE
00:17:11.959 --> 00:17:14.417
AND FORMED A PLAN.
00:17:14.417 --> 00:17:15.626
AND HAD ACTUALLY
ASKED MARCUS,
00:17:15.626 --> 00:17:16.999
IF HE WAS OKAY IF
I PROPOSED
00:17:16.999 --> 00:17:19.542
AT HIS 60TH
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
00:17:19.542 --> 00:17:21.501
BECAUSE I KNEW THAT
ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS
00:17:21.501 --> 00:17:23.999
AND FAMILY WERE ALL GONNA
BE IN FROM OUT OF TOWN,
00:17:23.999 --> 00:17:25.999
SO IT WOULD BE A REALLY
NEAT OPPORTUNITY.
00:17:25.999 --> 00:17:27.999
MY PARENTS WERE GONNA
BE THERE AS WELL
00:17:27.999 --> 00:17:30.459
BECAUSE THEY GOT INVITED.
00:17:30.459 --> 00:17:31.209
SO IT COULD BE
COOL OPPORTUNITY
00:17:31.209 --> 00:17:33.626
TO DO IT IN FRONT OF LIKE
ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM
00:17:33.626 --> 00:17:35.000
AND HAVE LIKE ALL
OF THE PEOPLE
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.417
THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO YOU
00:17:36.417 --> 00:17:37.999
BE THERE TO CELEBRATE.
00:17:37.999 --> 00:17:39.209
AND HE WAS ALL FOR IT.
00:17:39.209 --> 00:17:43.042
SO THAT WAS, YOU
KNOW, I GOT A RING.
00:17:43.042 --> 00:17:44.334
I GOT THE PROPOSAL
ALL SET UP.
00:17:44.334 --> 00:17:46.667
REBECCA: I DON'T KNOW HOW
HE DID THAT, BY THE WAY.
00:17:46.667 --> 00:17:48.999
HE GOT LIKE THE EXACT
RING THAT I WANTED.
00:17:48.999 --> 00:17:49.999
HE KNEW MY RING SIZE.
00:17:49.999 --> 00:17:51.999
I STILL DON'T EVEN
KNOW MY RING SIZE,
00:17:51.999 --> 00:17:53.375
BUT YOU DID IT ALL.
00:17:53.375 --> 00:17:54.959
JONATHAN: I DID IT ALL. REBECCA: I DON'T
EVEN WANT TO KNOW
00:17:54.959 --> 00:17:56.042
I LOVE THAT THERE'S
A MYSTERY TO IT.
00:17:56.042 --> 00:17:57.999
I DON'T KNOW WHEN
YOU GOT THE RING.
00:17:57.999 --> 00:17:59.125
I WAS SO SHOCKED.
00:17:59.125 --> 00:18:00.459
ANYWAY, KEEP
TELLING THE STORY.
00:18:00.459 --> 00:18:02.667
JONATHAN: AND
THEN THE NIGHT OF
00:18:02.667 --> 00:18:03.042
I PLANNED IT OUT
00:18:03.042 --> 00:18:04.334
SO SOME OF OUR
FAVORITE SONGS
00:18:04.334 --> 00:18:05.292
WOULD BE INCORPORATED.
00:18:05.292 --> 00:18:06.999
SO LIKE THERE WAS
LIKE A MOMENT
00:18:06.999 --> 00:18:08.876
IN BETWEEN THE
ACTION WHERE
00:18:08.876 --> 00:18:10.876
THE DJ WAS CUED TO PLAY
00:18:10.876 --> 00:18:13.999
ACTUALLY A SONG FROM
THE JESUS CULTURE ALBUM
00:18:13.999 --> 00:18:15.167
WAITING HERE FOR YOU.
00:18:15.167 --> 00:18:16.667
AND IN THAT MOMENT,
00:18:16.667 --> 00:18:18.000
I WALKED YOU
UNDER THE TREE
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.042
THAT WE HAD FIRST TALKED
00:18:20.042 --> 00:18:20.792
WHERE THE SWING WAS
00:18:20.792 --> 00:18:24.209
IN YOUR MOM'S BACKYARD
AND PROPOSED.
00:18:24.209 --> 00:18:25.542
AND WHAT DID YOU SAY?
00:18:25.542 --> 00:18:29.167
REBECCA: I REMEMBER, OKAY,
EVERY ONE IN MY FAMILY
00:18:29.167 --> 00:18:30.209
LOVES TO JOKE ABOUT THIS.
00:18:30.209 --> 00:18:31.042
AND YOU LOVE TO
JOKE ABOUT THIS.
00:18:31.042 --> 00:18:34.999
BUT EVERY ONE LIKES TO SAY THAT
I TOOK TOO LONG TO SAY YES.
00:18:34.999 --> 00:18:36.542
JONATHAN: YEAH, YOU
FOR SURE DID.
REBECCA: BUT I WAS
00:18:36.542 --> 00:18:37.375
GENUINELY SHOCKED
00:18:37.375 --> 00:18:39.209
BECAUSE WE DID NOT
GO RING SHOPPING.
00:18:39.209 --> 00:18:40.999
WE BOTH KNEW THAT WE WANTED TO
MARRY EACH OTHER,
00:18:40.999 --> 00:18:43.918
BUT I DID NOT SEE AN
ENGAGEMENT HAPPENING AT ALL.
00:18:43.918 --> 00:18:44.999
JONATHAN: YOU WERE JUST
EXAMINING THE RING,
00:18:44.999 --> 00:18:46.667
LIKE IS THIS A CRACKER
JACK RING?
00:18:46.667 --> 00:18:47.751
REBECCA: AND THEN
ALL OF A SUDDEN,
00:18:47.751 --> 00:18:48.542
I HEAR THIS SONG,
00:18:48.542 --> 00:18:49.709
AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW,
00:18:49.709 --> 00:18:50.250
OH, MY GOODNESS,
00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:50.999
THIS IS HAPPENING.
00:18:50.999 --> 00:18:52.667
AND SO YOU PROPOSED TO ME.
00:18:52.667 --> 00:18:55.626
I APPARENTLY TOOK A FEW
SECONDS TO SAY YES.
00:18:55.626 --> 00:18:58.167
BECAUSE I WAS SO
SHOCKED IN THE MOMENT.
00:18:58.167 --> 00:18:59.834
BUT I DID SAY YES,
00:18:59.834 --> 00:19:00.834
AND CONFETTI WENT OFF.
00:19:00.834 --> 00:19:03.542
AND IT WAS HONESTLY
LIKE A PERFECT PROPOSAL.
00:19:03.542 --> 00:19:04.000
SO GOOD JOB.
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.792
JONATHAN: THANK YOU.
00:19:04.792 --> 00:19:05.334
REBECCA: ON YOUR END.
00:19:05.334 --> 00:19:06.459
JONATHAN: I FIGURED I WAS ONLY
GONNA DO IT ONCE,
00:19:06.459 --> 00:19:07.000
I GOT TO GET IT RIGHT.
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.125
REBECCA: EVERYTHING WAS
DECORATED SO BEAUTIFULLY.
00:19:09.125 --> 00:19:09.876
IT HONESTLY LOOKED
00:19:09.876 --> 00:19:11.083
LIKE IT WAS
OUT IN A MOVIE.
00:19:11.083 --> 00:19:12.501
SO WE GET ENGAGED
00:19:12.501 --> 00:19:13.083
AND THEN YOU,
00:19:13.083 --> 00:19:15.042
I MEAN, WE HIT THE
GROUND RUNNING.
00:19:15.042 --> 00:19:16.042
YOU MOVE HERE.
00:19:16.042 --> 00:19:16.667
JONATHAN: YEAH.
00:19:16.667 --> 00:19:18.375
REBECCA: AND WHAT I WANT
TO TALK ABOUT REALLY QUICK
00:19:18.375 --> 00:19:18.999
IS THIS.
00:19:18.999 --> 00:19:20.417
GOD HAD PUT IT
ON YOUR HEART
00:19:20.417 --> 00:19:21.501
TO COME TO TEXAS.
00:19:21.501 --> 00:19:21.999
JONATHAN: UH-HUH.
00:19:21.999 --> 00:19:22.999
REBECCA: AND YOU HAD
TRIED TO DO COME
00:19:22.999 --> 00:19:23.876
TWO YEARS EARLIER
00:19:23.876 --> 00:19:25.459
BUT ALL THE DOORS CLOSED.
00:19:25.459 --> 00:19:26.209
JONATHAN: NO,
MORE THAN THAT.
00:19:26.209 --> 00:19:27.999
IT WAS LIKE THREE AND
A HALF YEARS EARLIER.
00:19:27.999 --> 00:19:29.000
REBECCA: AND WHAT'S CRAZY
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.999
IS WE DIDN'T KNOW EACH
OTHER AT THE TIME.
00:19:30.999 --> 00:19:31.667
JONATHAN: UH-HUH.
00:19:31.667 --> 00:19:34.626
REBECCA: BUT YOU WENT AND
TOURED MY BIBLE SCHOOL
00:19:34.626 --> 00:19:36.083
THAT I WAS ATTENDING
THAT WAS
00:19:36.083 --> 00:19:37.626
THIS LITTLE TINY
BIBLE SCHOOL.
00:19:37.626 --> 00:19:39.459
YOU ALMOST WENT
TO SCHOOL THERE.
00:19:39.459 --> 00:19:40.999
AND ONE OF MY
FAVORITE PROFESSORS,
00:19:40.999 --> 00:19:42.375
DR. HUNTZINGER,
MET WITH YOU
00:19:42.375 --> 00:19:44.375
BECAUSE HE WAS
OVER GRAD STUDENTS.
00:19:44.375 --> 00:19:45.292
AND HE JUST SAID
THE PROGRAM
00:19:45.292 --> 00:19:48.000
THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
IS NOT QUITE READY YET.
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.501
I WOULD SUGGEST
YOU JUST WAIT.
00:19:49.501 --> 00:19:51.459
AND ALL THE PLACES YOU
HAD LOOKED FOR JOBS,
00:19:51.459 --> 00:19:53.083
ALL THOSE DOORS CLOSED.
00:19:53.083 --> 00:19:53.999
AND THEN AT
THE SAME TIME,
00:19:53.999 --> 00:19:57.042
THIS INCREDIBLE JOB OPENS
UP IN SAN FRANCISCO,
00:19:57.042 --> 00:19:59.667
ACTUALLY IN
SILICON VALLEY
00:19:59.667 --> 00:20:00.999
WITH A GREAT COMPANY,
00:20:00.999 --> 00:20:02.250
WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL.
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:05.417
SO YOU MOVE BACK
TO SAN FRANCISCO.
00:20:05.417 --> 00:20:06.999
WE DON'T EVEN
SEE EACH OTHER.
00:20:06.999 --> 00:20:10.542
BUT YOU GOING OUT
THERE AT THAT TIME,
00:20:10.542 --> 00:20:12.375
GOD WAS PREPARING YOU
00:20:12.375 --> 00:20:13.918
AND GIVING YOU CONNECTIONS.
00:20:13.918 --> 00:20:14.999
SO THAT WHEN
YOU MOVED HERE,
00:20:14.999 --> 00:20:16.999
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH
A FAST PROCESS,
00:20:16.999 --> 00:20:18.250
YOU HAD SOMEONE TO
LIVE WITH,
00:20:18.250 --> 00:20:20.042
A FRIEND THAT YOU COULD
STAY WITH.
00:20:20.042 --> 00:20:21.918
YOU ALREADY HAD
THIS STUFF SET UP.
00:20:21.918 --> 00:20:23.417
YOU WERE ALREADY
PREPARED TO COME INTO
00:20:23.417 --> 00:20:24.999
THIS MORE SEAMLESSLY.
00:20:24.999 --> 00:20:29.999
AND YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A
VERY INTENSE, GREAT TIME,
00:20:29.999 --> 00:20:30.999
BUT IT WAS A LOT.
00:20:30.999 --> 00:20:32.459
JONATHAN: YEAH, IT
WAS A BIG SEASON.
00:20:32.459 --> 00:20:34.459
BECAUSE I HAD
TO MOVE HERE.
00:20:34.459 --> 00:20:36.542
AND I HAD TO
GET, YOU KNOW,
00:20:36.542 --> 00:20:38.375
A HOUSE PURCHASED FOR US.
00:20:38.375 --> 00:20:39.375
REBECCA: YEAH, WE
BOUGHT A HOUSE.
00:20:39.375 --> 00:20:41.167
WE REMODELED THE HOUSE.
JONATHAN: I SOLD
MY CAR THERE.
00:20:41.167 --> 00:20:42.959
I HAD TO BUY A CAR HERE.
00:20:42.959 --> 00:20:45.999
YEAH, SO THERE WAS A
LOT OF MOVING PIECES.
00:20:45.999 --> 00:20:47.000
BUT IT ALL FELT, YOU KNOW,
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.209
LIKE IT WAS PART OF
GOD'S DIVINE PLAN.
00:20:50.209 --> 00:20:52.834
LIKE WE WERE BEING
CARRIED BY HIM
00:20:52.834 --> 00:20:53.709
THROUGH IT ALL.
00:20:53.709 --> 00:20:54.042
AND SO --
00:20:54.042 --> 00:20:55.709
REBECCA: NO, IT WAS LIKE SUCH
A SUPERNATURAL SEASON.
00:20:55.709 --> 00:20:57.125
JONATHAN: IT WAS A FUN
AND BEAUTIFUL SEASON
00:20:57.125 --> 00:20:59.250
ALL WHILE A LOT OF
THINGS WERE HAPPENING.
00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:00.834
REBECCA: BECAUSE
WE WOULD PRAY TOGETHER.
00:21:00.834 --> 00:21:01.751
IT WAS LIKE WE
WOULD HAVE THIS,
00:21:01.751 --> 00:21:02.751
IT WAS LIKE SUCH
A COOL SEASON.
00:21:02.751 --> 00:21:04.042
IT BUILT MY FAITH
IN A LOT OF WAYS.
00:21:04.042 --> 00:21:05.417
BECAUSE WE WOULD NEED
DIFFERENT THINGS,
00:21:05.417 --> 00:21:07.626
AND WE WOULD GET TOGETHER
AND WE WOULD PRAY.
00:21:07.626 --> 00:21:08.584
AND THEN LIKE
THE NEXT DAY,
00:21:08.584 --> 00:21:09.501
GOD WOULD HAVE A SOLUTION.
00:21:09.501 --> 00:21:11.542
LIKE YOU NEEDED A
FRIEND TO LIVE WITH.
00:21:11.542 --> 00:21:12.417
AND LIKE THE NEXT DAY,
00:21:12.417 --> 00:21:14.042
YOU WOULD HAVE A
FRIEND TO LIVE WITH.
00:21:14.042 --> 00:21:16.083
YOU KNOW, WE NEEDED
TO FIND A HOUSE.
00:21:16.083 --> 00:21:18.209
AND IT WAS NOT AN EASY
MARKET AT THE TIME.
00:21:18.209 --> 00:21:19.999
AND WE FOUND THE
PERFECT HOUSE.
00:21:19.999 --> 00:21:20.709
AND GOD SHOWED IT.
00:21:20.709 --> 00:21:21.083
YOU FOUND IT,
00:21:21.083 --> 00:21:22.667
AND GOD SHOWED IT TO
YOU AND CONFIRMED IT.
00:21:22.667 --> 00:21:24.918
JONATHAN: SO LET'S
FAST FORWARD.
00:21:24.918 --> 00:21:26.250
SO THEN WE GET MARRIED.
00:21:26.250 --> 00:21:27.167
SEVEN MONTHS LATER,
00:21:27.167 --> 00:21:28.292
WE GET PREGNANT.
00:21:28.292 --> 00:21:30.999
WE HAVE OUR FIRST
BORN SON ASHER.
00:21:30.999 --> 00:21:31.876
HOW OLD WAS ASHER
00:21:31.876 --> 00:21:32.459
WHEN WE FOUND OUT
00:21:32.459 --> 00:21:33.501
YOU ARE PREGNANT AGAIN?
00:21:33.501 --> 00:21:34.999
REBECCA: RIGHT
