Open Waters Podcast
35: The Desire For More Of Him ~ A Holy Dissatisfaction
This episode delves into the responsibility bestowed upon us by the parable of the Ten Talents, inviting you to measure whether you're truly investing your abilities for God's glory. With a spirit of 'holy dissatisfaction,' we challenge you to ignite personal growth and foster transformative connections within His kingdom.
Imagine your faith intertwined with your finances, where wealth is not your master, but a divine tool for generosity. We share heartfelt stories of navigating career uncertainty and finding deeper meaning, all while aligning professional endeavors with our God-given talents. This conversation extends to our spiritual lives, where we confront the longing for an intimate relationship with God that transcends surface-level worship. Alongside our guests, we invite you on a journey to experience this hunger, to break free from the mundane and step into a life of fervent devotion and purpose.
The call for preparedness is at the heart of our final discussion, drawing from the Parable of the Ten Virgins to emphasize the urgency of readiness for spiritual revival. We muse on the powerful motivator that is 'holy dissatisfaction'—a drive that should not leave us complacent but rather zealously pursuing a profound connection with God. As we conclude, feel the pulse of our Open Waters worship session and the vibrant songcraft that expresses both our individual and collective spiritual sojourns. This episode is an invitation to act, to live in the present moment with hearts ablaze for the divine.
Open Waters Family,

Thank you for being amazing and we pray blessings over you!
Not something that comes from a place of striving, but something that comes from a place of God. You gave me this beautiful gift and I want to invest it right back into the kingdom to produce more, more, more, more, almost like the dandelion analogy kind of your heart is that you know God's given you these gifts and that the Holy Spirit would breathe on those and you would partner with him and the seeds through your giftings would go out everywhere. Yeah and the ultimate goal is that he would be Glorified mm-hmm, how's it going?
Speaker 2:everybody at open waters. This is the episode, I believe 35, of the open waters podcast. Crazy. Just gonna double check that really quick cuz I don't want to be wrong on this double check it every time.
Speaker 1:I do you should look before we start the podcast.
Speaker 2:I truly do. No, I was right. I say I literally have it memorized okay, episode 35.
Speaker 1:There you go, the open waters podcast. Good job winning.
Speaker 2:That is winning.
Speaker 1:Whoa.
Speaker 2:How did you figure that one out? I don't know cuz my where did you get that slang?
Speaker 1:I'm cool, you know.
Speaker 2:She learned bro and now winning. So I don't know. You never know what she's gonna do next.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:All right, well, let's get straight into the more about us section.
Speaker 1:So the question the question is if you were a flower, what flower would you be, josiah?
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:I can go first if you need to think about it.
Speaker 2:I need to think about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, so the kind of flower I would be would be an orchid, and here's why because Orchids are beautiful and you can also eat them, which means that they are, they fulfill needs and they are useful and they are. So they're not just pretty to look at, but they have a purpose hmm, very cool. How about you?
Speaker 2:I think I don't copy my answer would be an orchid, it would be a dandelion a dandelion why? Cuz we're kind of just there, we're kind of, we're kind of to the eye boring.
Speaker 1:You know that's a weed right. Yeah, okay, well, no, it's not I know a weed is anything growing where you don't want to grow grass is a weed, but If you can eat it, it's your nutritional.
Speaker 2:That's it I Got. I've got value something else hidden value what?
Speaker 1:happens when you, when the dandelion has its little white ball.
Speaker 2:The wind can't great.
Speaker 1:I don't clean the wind comes and it blows the seeds everywhere.
Speaker 2:I'm a sewer.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So in the Holy Spirit comes, blows upon what you're like, your creativity, and you're anointing in your gifts the seeds got everywhere boom very cool. Boom knuckles. Mike drop I don't like.
Speaker 2:I don't know about that one, but I'm full of all the cool, cool slaying today. I need to restart Starting, okay, you?
Speaker 1:have something that has been burning in your soul way down deep for quite a bit now. I so and that's gonna be our topic today. Yes you want to introduce it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay so my kind of this, this topic that has been during, is the topic of Pretty much just having a holy dissatisfaction of where we are and in three different areas in our church and our personal life and and then in our Walk with Christ ourselves. And so kind of to just jump into that first one, I Mean, obviously I'm gonna. I think what we'll do is we'll just start with ourselves, okay, and just our personal life, and I want to talk about the story of the Ten Talents, where the master gave Some one guy ten towns, one guy, five towns one guy, I believe, is two or one talent and they were told to go and do what they could with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm really paraphrasing, but yeah, you're pretty much. One of them came back. When the math by the time master came back, he doubled it. So he instead of a 10 he had 20 right that guy did the same thing.
Speaker 2:He had instead of five he had 10, and the last one that was given the least went buried it but said here, masters, here's all your, here's what you gave me. I returned it, not a cent less. And he's like the master said you, you're worse than any, the person that would have lost all of it because you didn't risk anything. Right to bring me back something, what I have given you right so we're giving tons.
Speaker 2:I know we're jumping really quickly into this, but pretty much like this first part is just a whole. It is satisfaction of are we using the gifts God gave us to, to what we could be or what we should be? You know, I'm saying like I'm given big it I'm out. I'm really struggling with words. If I've been given the gift of like music, am I using that to a through the kingdom, but also just to be to glorify God is like that. So if I'm not, then you know, am I doing what I should would be with my talents? And if God gave me like a, really like Like a very number heavy-minder, I can think about things differently. Am I using that to benefit the kingdom? Am I using that? So maybe God's called me to be wealthy? I do think God calls people to be wealthy and to be able to bless people.
Speaker 1:I think it's like, yeah, generosity. Yeah gift of generosity.
Speaker 2:Yes, and so it's just like are you, are you using that? Are you getting your? I'm gonna put this sort like a really weird way, but are you getting your money up so you can, you know, bless people? You know I'm saying yeah. It's I don't, money's not our master. We receive money so that we can give back, and every dollar we earn is not our own, because we're not. God gave us the ability to earn.
Speaker 1:Yeah anything but so what are your thoughts on that? Sorry, like so. Essentially, what I hear you saying is just a holy not being satisfied with what how we are using or how we're partnering with God in releasing the gifts and using the gifts that he's given us and Just multiplying those talents. So just really Not something that comes from a place of striving, but something that comes from a place of God. You gave me this beautiful gift and I want to invest it right back into the kingdom to produce more, more, more, more, almost like the dandelion. Analogy kind of your heart is that you know God's given you these gifts and that the Holy Spirit would breathe on those and and you would partner with him and the seeds through your giftings would go out everywhere.
Speaker 1:Yeah and the ultimate goal is that he would be glorified.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. And I think another thing is just like you know, you guys are in a kind of a weird spot, workwise yeah, it's like that, but Am I doing what I should be with my job and stuff like that?
Speaker 2:It's another question asked just because, yes, god gave us this talent, but is it supposed to be used in this way? Yeah, for me, in web development, am I supposed to be using this extra space or am I supposed to use this to build, build up open waters, or build up this, or build up that, or help these people, or help those people?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and also to understand that there's seasons to different things, like you could be in a season of training and you know some other Things so that you can do the next step.
Speaker 1:You know or God may have you planted there for for other reasons producing and Multiplying there where you're at and I think of you mentioned about in our personal life, you know we're we're having to pray into, with my husband losing a job again, not because he's not a good employees, a very good employees, just corporate America, yep, and so he, we're in a situation where we're like, no, no, we're gonna stop and we're not just gonna always do what we've done. But there's just this Desire and sometimes it's easier to have this Awareness when you're a little bit older and you have some years on your belt but just to realize To really become dissatisfied with just doing things because you've always done and we're just doing things because we have to do them. But really, god, what is it that you have for me and how do you want me to use my talents and how do you want Our lives to look? How do you want?
Speaker 1:us to put our hands to the plow.
Speaker 2:Yep yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So that was kind of like a like a more like a side note compared to this next point. But then second one was about our spiritual walk and this is with the main one that I want to talk about, and it's because they just been God's been leading me in this season of well, not the season, but like just just kind of revealing to me that, like you know, I Don't even know, it's just it's hard to explain, but I like a dissatisfaction of where we are, myself in my walk with God, because I want more of who he is and I want Want to see more of his glory. I want to know who he is more in depth.
Speaker 2:You know, I want to have more knowledge of the Bible and stuff like that and so it's just this, holy this. I keep saying holy dissatisfaction, but it's just like a, just like a more, like an unending hunger, a bottomless pit. Yeah, you know, I'm saying it's like God says that he's gonna fill our cup to overflow, but I'm, I'm wanting to have be like a bottomless cup where there's just no overflow. I just can keep receiving, you know.
Speaker 1:But yeah, it's really cool because somebody in our church we were having our worship practice and he just mentioned that the Lord really just gave him a vision of this well. That was a very narrow well, but it was like it went on, it went deep for very long, long, long space and I think there's so much to God. I just, I too, josiah, I'm at a place where one I've mentioned this already where I just I Don't want to. I love being able to step into a place of leading Worship and being able to tap into what the Lord is doing and enter the flow and to lead people into worship. But what I'm really hungry for is not just to be able to do that, because I'm, you know, prepped and because I do, I have connection with God, but I actually want to have my personal focus on my personal time with him and Really just minister from a place of overflow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm very Disap yeah satisfied with, and I know we both been kind of feeling like this I Don't want to say boredom, but almost boredom with the songs that are out there.
Speaker 1:And again, I don't want to neglect or not be, thankful for the present and for what we have like, especially at our church. We have a beautiful worship team that really always Engages with the Lord in very deep ways, mm-hmm. And yet I still want more. I want the fullness of what God has for us, and I am dissatisfied, and so I think I guess what I'm trying to say is that dissatisfaction is is Leading me to want to seek him more when I'm alone and away from group events, so that I can really Experience in there. And then when we come together and imagine if we're all doing this, like really experiencing God and that deep well and our worship time alone with him, when we come together to worship or we come together or we are whatever it is with other believers it's like an explosion will happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah so.
Speaker 2:I'm, that's kind of like I believe we said this in the last episode but like there's just songs, you know, like the songs are playing, almost seem like they're they're not like. It's not that they're dry, it's just they have. It feels like we're trying. We're trying to squeeze every last drop of water out of it. You know, I'm saying it's not, it's no longer sustaining us. It's just like we have to go deeper, we have to search for something that actually is, you know, holds the presence of God. I'm not saying they, those songs don't. It's just I think the season of those songs are passing and we need to start I, whether that's by writing your own songs or, you know, I don't know, just being spontaneous or just just being able to truly worship out in the yeah, I'm a rock cry type of deal and just an unrehearsed song type of deal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's you know. That's why I was when you were talking about it. You've heard me say this I have been like a Beating a dead horse about this with you, but it's like write your songs, write the songs, write the songs, because there is authority with the songs that we write. Yeah, I'm, and it's just, I think it, it's just I Think there's something about it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think powerful.
Speaker 2:I think right now we're playing other houses songs. I'm talking about new creation, because that's where we were currently attending, but also at open waters too, we're gonna be looking to do some songwriting too. But I Feel like when Just gonna put this into like a more, like an analogy, it's like it, if you're not, if you're seeing other people's songs, it's like you have this perfectly straight arrow of their pastor saying this you have all, all parts of the operation doing the same thing. They're talking about. Let's say, it's the love of God. You have all parts of the area of the like the stick, the arrows on, attached to the other, fletching, that are perfectly aligned to go Make it go straight. And then you have a bent tip because we're seeing other people's songs, or an unsharpened arrow.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's like it's able to do the job right like yeah, yeah, I'm not saying that's wrong, or yeah definitely not being religious about it. I mean, oh, my goodness, so many songs of minister to me so deeply. Yes and are we entering into a Time when God is stirring us through this holy dissatisfaction to move past? You know, creating songs for the general pop public and population to songs that are born from our heart To his and for our bodies.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying, that we're in, yeah, and I think a Lot of time when I think about, like sometimes, dissatisfaction, I think about me thinking about projects in my house or different things like maybe.
Speaker 1:I, oh, I need to clean.
Speaker 2:I'm dissatisfied how my house looks. It's not time to start fine-tuning this place to make it Appropriate how I feel right now? I think maybe also God's like like that arrow analogy God's sharpening us. Yeah trading out the tip of the arrow or he's just fine-tuning us so he can be a well-oiled machine. Yeah for it to execute what he has for our church.
Speaker 2:Yeah and so I don't think it's just me. I've talked to some other people at church or talk about. I think I've talked to less, I've talked to a man, well, and it's just like there's just this we're God's moving us into something greater, and it's because of this dissatisfaction that's making us uncomfortable to now be in the place we're at.
Speaker 1:I yes, and I'm just thinking. So this is kind of a sidebar. Yeah, yeah you were telling me that Fresh Start Church Mm-hmm writes their songs and Then sings them that day.
Speaker 2:Is that what you said that week? So if they, if their practice is on, let's say like at least this is a man. Well, told me, because he was just over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah for their. Worshiping intensive. Yeah, yeah, oh. No, worship intensive. Okay, worship and prayer intensive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's crazy, but you should interview him on here about that. We should, we totally will. But pretty much they write that song like great to have a songwriting that week, and then they sing that song that Sunday, which is pretty cool crazy, but I think there's that.
Speaker 1:There's some of that, that is. I Think that's what we're longing for and it's not it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not stale, I don't know no, and it's because if you're consistently writing, you're always and you you are truly in relationship With God. Like you said, in the quiet place ourselves we're getting to the heart of worship fire in our own room. So we're not worshiping out of a place of Receiving, we're working bad at a place of giving and outpouring, and I think a lot of the time actually, that's why a lot of churches seem very, they seem very secreting, like people are there to seek seeker friend yeah seeker friendly churches is a place where the worship team is there out of overflow and then you have the pastor.
Speaker 2:That's an overflow, but then you have the church that's in deficit, where there's this middle ground of just there's pretty much just a stalemate in between. Now, not saying it's bad, the secret churches are definitely needed because there's there's always gonna be a season where people are, everyone in any you know, Different needs hundred percent and the body is not. Is not only ministering to one type of people, it's not made just for the. They're ready, faithful, it's not also? Made for this the Gentiles who don't know Jesus yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so anyway.
Speaker 2:But, like I was saying, I think this dissatisfaction in our personal life and our spiritual walk with God is important because we need. Like me, when I did the shred, it really made me realize, like you know pause.
Speaker 1:The shred is a 30 day challenge when? You 30 day challenge where you read the entire Bible in 30 days sounds crazy, but we did it and it was amazing. It was great.
Speaker 2:But the shred made me realize that, you know, this isn't something we can do. It's something we should be doing and we have to do. You know, it's got me out of the place. So this is I need to. I should read my Bible, you know. And now, instead of that, it's like oh, I haven't read my Bible today. I'm now just gonna go read, like I'm listening into my car Because.
Speaker 2:I listened to the Bible more than I listen to music most of the time now, just cuz it's cool, just have it and get it in there exactly and it's. It's just like I don't want to be a Dissatisfied where I was in my Bible knowledge and I'm just dissatisfied on how much of the knowledge of God I had yeah it's like my one number one prayer right now is, you know, also just revelation about who God is. The glory of God.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so good and then kind of moving on to the how it is in the church, is, I think, when people have really truly received this dissatisfaction and the whole body is dissatisfied, where not just themselves they are, but also the body of Christ and how, how we want more of Jesus and this is a. This is not dissatisfaction about like anger over where the church is going. This is a dissatisfaction of how much of the Holy Spirit we have because of just.
Speaker 1:He won't. Yes, exactly, yeah.
Speaker 2:And once everybody gains and I think from here on out I'll probably use this word just a really deep and deep hunger for God, once we all receipt, like, get to this point where we have just a hunger that never ends, because we need the bread of life, we need God, and so we, every word from the mouth of God, we just we will have a Bible happen when that happens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and.
Speaker 2:And you know, when people get hungry, get, they get desperate, and when we get desperate, we do what needs to be done. Yeah so I just really hope that the church moves into this season of deaths Like a desperate need for who God is and who God more of him yeah and you We'll have revival because people like once we start doing whatever it takes to get get more of him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's nothing that can stop us there was you went to this Holy Spirit conference and we were in Tennessee I think I mentioned this, but a little last week but one of the things they said is that you know, every person in the church is like an extension port and people around us are like that was people that need electricity. Yep, it's like we may be Be operating in this and we operate in multiple gifts throughout our life, but at that time when we operate in that gift, maybe it's the gift of healing and stuff like that, or it's the gift of administration or anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hospitality.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's just like we have the Holy Spirit. But if everybody was truly, you know, operating in the Holy Spirit, we would be reaching more people than we are now. And I think I'm also dissatisfied of how how we are operating as a church and as Christians in different cities in the Valley, especially in Utah, that I feel like we're moving very slow compared to what we should be if we all truly were desperate for God.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So anyway yeah, I've made it no secret that I'm so surprised when I go somewhere and I see how many Christians there are, like a Just different functions where there's. You know, it's an open invitation and I'm sure not all of them are Christians, but it still amazes me. I'm like this many Christians live in Utah. This is crazy. I didn't know this. Why aren't we, you know?
Speaker 1:getting together are the ones who are ambassadors for the Lord. We should be affecting the atmosphere and there is a lot of movement happening, but Jesus is the king of kings and the Lord of lords. The government sits upon the shoulders. Everything should look different and could look different, yeah.
Speaker 2:What up open waters family? I just wanted to take one quick second away from the podcast. I'm sorry to ask you if you could please go ahead, like, rate and subscribe to this podcast, because it does wonders for us reaching more people. It's so that we can get the word of God out to people and what God is speaking to us. Open waters is all about building up intimacy with God, building up the morale of Christianity in the body of Christ, as well as building fellowship. So if you have any friends, please send them our way so we can get to know them as well. Take care, I love you guys and so kind of like my my. My last little point is I mean we went over the three, which is our personal life and how we should be using our talents to further the God's kingdom.
Speaker 2:Yeah and for what he wants it for, not for what we, we, want it right and how can we Gain interest on what he's given us? And then the second was just dissatisfaction about are we doing what we should not in a secret place? So are you searching for God truly by?
Speaker 2:ourselves so we can worship him in a surplus rather than a deficit, and then the the in the church of just how we are operating as a church. Are we truly all together hungry, or is it just me and a place of people that are kind of okay when they're at and because I don't want to be at a place where my church is okay when were there at and I'm the only hungry one because it's it feels very dry. I've been at one of those churches. I went there for a while, yeah, and it's just. I don't want to be at that place anymore.
Speaker 1:No, can do new creation.
Speaker 2:I've been very blessed to have a church of Quite a few hungry people. Yeah, very, I think there's still people that are kind of and you can you can just tell Sure yeah not everybody. I'm just gonna be kind of blunt, but not everybody just cares no right some people just don't. They truly are okay where they're at. They're okay to go to Sun Church on Sunday. They're gonna go to heaven. That's great, but I don't want to just go to heaven.
Speaker 1:Me neither it's so. I want the fullness of all God died for every drop of blood exactly. You were going to use the pair. I don't know if you're finished with that thought, but you were going to talk about the parable of the Ten virgins.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, before go for it, no, you are going to explain it so the.
Speaker 1:So the ten virgins. Just a refresher. Most of you probably know this, but there it's. It's. It was an analogy from Jesus referring to the end times and how there were ten versions five were wise, five were foolish, five prepared and got oil for when the bridegroom would return, and then five said no, we'll wait till later. But then the bridegroom was coming, and the five who did not then, or asking for oil from you, know the others and we're trying to get it and they're like no, no.
Speaker 2:Yep so that's, and then the bridegroom came back and when they the people that would do were lazy did not have the oil. When they came back, the doors were locked, yeah, and said let us in. And the bridegroom said depart me, depart for me, because I do not know you yeah, and.
Speaker 2:So pretty much how it kind of ties in is when we have this holy dissatisfaction I Want to get to that place as well a more even a like a dissatisfaction of where I am with the Lord, because it will drive me to get that oil. Yeah but Beside that, I think there's a place about like this third point We've been talking about the church. Yeah, we need to get Pretty much desperate for who God is. I trying to think about how I put it, but it's a sense of urgency there it is yeah, so, paul, back in the day, I mean, I think I talked about this last week.
Speaker 2:I'm referring to a lot of things that we talked about last week, but I just think it's really important because the holy dissatisfaction we need to have a just an urgency.
Speaker 2:Yeah because you know Jesus, we don't know the time of the day that God's coming back and we don't. We don't know when we're gonna pass too, and I think it goes hand-in-hand with this dissatisfaction. I think we might talk about this another day more in-depth, about the urgency, but Revival can happen as well because of urgency and that truly realize. And you know that Oil isn't gonna be for sale always right and so it's not always gonna be there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want to be the person caught up, falling asleep and not have the oil.
Speaker 1:I I will get this later. I'm really satisfied. I'm fine, everything will be fine. I don't need to worry about it. And then you, it's yeah.
Speaker 2:And I can't rely on other people's oil as well. It's all. I only can use what I've got that's right.
Speaker 2:When, when we're truly dissatisfied of where we're at with God, it forces us into the season of just desperate and this urgency of getting more oil and I think it's because of that, this satisfaction removed to do what's necessary to get that oil. You know, I'm saying I hope these are dots are connecting for you guys as well. But, yeah, there's just an urgency. I feel like revival is coming, but it's gonna take some work on our end to get to a place of being desperate from oil, be sensing that urgency that the time is now. Paul, back in the day, like I said, he never even met Jesus, but he had an encounter and he was just like forever changed. Yeah, and the fact of the matter is, is that because of that that encounter he had of Jesus, he was then going sending letters all these different churches throughout the time, the Israel and that Europe area yeah.
Speaker 2:Miss Middle Eastern, I'm not gonna use where it is. But and he was just telling them hey, the time is now. You need to depart from your evil ways and turn to Jesus. Yeah even the churches that he went and visited tell. Tells them I love you and there's like I turn from evil ways.
Speaker 2:I know you're doing all these things and just make sure you're yeah in the time is now, yeah, so I think the time is now for all. So for us and the body of Christ to truly get, get desperate to pack up on oil. Don't waste the time just don't waste any time it's right. It's time to truly go after God and everything he is, do him yeah and.
Speaker 1:Paul could have been satisfied with hey, I was set free and I and just you know repenting and all that. But he had a satisfaction with that and wanted to Go where the Lord was having him go and he wanted to tell everybody about it.
Speaker 1:Yep, he could have totally been like I'm okay with just receiving or, you know, hidden in shame because of his past acts or anything but his desire, urgency, deep hunger and dissatisfaction with, with just staying still and with Just keeping things for himself. He wanted more of the Lord and he wanted everybody else to experience the truth of who God is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's pretty much it. I mean, I hope this made sense and, you know, kind of ministered to you a little bit because, it. You know, it's just like this. Just, it's important for us to not be satisfied where we're at, and it's not just like us being like, oh yeah, I'm searching for God 24, seven, it's just. No, I just and I'm happy like I'm unhappy with how much of God I have right now. I don't have a place of anger for myself, for this life. They're just staying for myself.
Speaker 2:Yeah but out of a place of I love Jesus so much I am not happy being at this, this, not this amount of knowledge of him.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I want more. Yeah, so, and then, just you know, an urgency of the time is now. It's a don't don't waste a second.
Speaker 1:It's good. Just I am, so I like it. Anyway, that's your heart. This has been on your heart big time. I'm glad you got to share it.
Speaker 2:Anything else you got to share.
Speaker 1:No, I think that's good, Alrighty.
