Call Summary: Carlos's Profound Spiritual Awakening and Fractional Counseling Model

Overview

Evening phone call (Gary at AI meetup) where Ida shared Carlos's extraordinary spiritual breakthrough after Apostle Delmar prayed for him again - crying all day for the first time since age 11, reading spiritual warfare prayers out loud compulsively, and calling family to process his experiences. Also covered workplace drama (three resignations in two days including sexual harassment case), development of the "fractional counseling" thesis for micro schools, and the Jeremiah testimony showing remote prayer's power.

Key Topics Discussed

Carlos's Breakthrough

Second Prayer from Apostle Delmar:

• Apostle prayed for Carlos yesterday
• "He felt even better than the first time Apostle prayed for him. Like a weight lifted, he felt light."
• Carlos was crying - extremely significant given his history

First Tears Since Age 11:

• Carlos cried once at age 11 when teacher humiliated him in front of class
• That was first time he said "I just want to die"
• "He wouldn't ever cry in front of us"
• Now: "He's just been crying all day"

Spiritual Warfare Prayers:

• Found Ida's spiritual warfare prayer book from her illness period
• "Mom, I couldn't put it down. I tried to put it down on the desk... and I just couldn't put it down"
• Reading prayers out loud all day
• "The things they came against - it was just answered prayer"
• Only listening to scripture

Processing with Family:

• On phone all day with Uncle Al, Ida's sister, niece Mia (Austin), niece in Florida
• "All of them have experienced these things. And everybody has handled them differently. Especially differently than Carlos."
• Carlos's wasn't just anxiety - "severe spiritual attacks about his whole life"

Leading Family Prayer:

• Told Jesus to turn TV off
• "Dad, turn the TV off... we're praying"
• "Jesus does whatever Carlos says"
• Led family prayer before bed

Ida's Reflection:

• "I really want you to write your story"
• "I don't even have words. What you've experienced in your life. From seeing and knowing and experiencing the darkness, and then also not having feelings or emotions for the longest time."

Workplace Crisis

Three Resignations in Two Days:

• Nurse (awesome lady)
• Tamara
• Carmen (22 years old)

Carmen's Sexual Harassment:

• Athletic director (married, wife works there) sexually harassing her
• "Something in between sexual harassment and sexual assault"
• Carmen didn't want to report: "No one's going to believe me. He's the right hand of the superintendent."
• Carmen was being watched - someone called to tell her they'd seen her going to Ida's office repeatedly
• Resigned based on mental health

Ida's Discernment:

• "When I saw that guy's eyes, I was like, this man is a pervert or something. He's sick. He's corroded."
• Told Carmen she should report him
• Superintendent "wacko" with no integrity, not Christian

Ida's Protective Action:

• "I grabbed all my degrees off the wall and put them in a bag"
• "Everybody's dropping like flies around here. If I'm next, I didn't want to leave my degrees behind."
• Prayed spiritual warfare prayer for superintendent: "The people that are like your enemies, that the angels surround them to escort them to Christ so that Christ can deal with them"

Tamara Update

After Meeting Gary:

• "She was really excited... going on and on"
• "Like you were a B12 injection or something"
• Excited about tutoring potential and followers monetization
• Met 19-year-old marketing guy J.R. who got her 3 gigs in one day

Resignation Context:

• Coach, principal, and vice principal all attacked her for being "aggressive" when she was standing up for what's right
• Ida believes Tamara sensed the athletic director's corruption: "She probably felt that"
• Good for her to be on her own doing her own thing

Apostle Delmar Connection:

• Tamara also talked to Apostle via FaceTime
• "Seemed meaningful"
• Gary: "That's helpful to know that it can be impactful on the phone"

Micro School Counseling Thesis

The Gap:

• "Micro schools are great. They're going to open up a lot of better educational opportunities for kids. But there'll be a lot of gaps."
• "Service providers that can service multiple homeschool kids, multiple micro schools at the same time."

Fractional Model:

• "You're not going to be able to afford a full-time guidance and counselor at the micro school"
• "You can hire the subscription almost"
• "What it really is - you're saying I'm going to give a part of my time to being just available"
• "You're going to have infinite questions about all kinds of things"

Red Jay Guidance and Counseling Name:

• "Guidance" = certified school counselor (Pre-K through 12th grade)
• "Counseling" = Licensed Professional Counselor
• Deliberately both because she has both credentials
• Pre-K to 12th grade certification is "not common"

Key Question for Prenda CEO:

• "How do micro school teachers handle the issues that counselors and therapists handle?"
• Need to ask question that makes him say "Oh yeah, that would be great"

Example from Today:

• 8-year-old advocating for herself, needed to talk about aunt/uncle divorce
• Had shut down in class, couldn't perform
• After processing feelings with Ida, able to return and perform
• 11-year-old boy talking about suicide since age 7 - 3rd or 4th meeting

Philosophy:

• "For any human being, people have to talk. They have to talk things out."
• "Life's hard, even for little kids"

Ida's Building Strategy

Last Chance Ministry:

• Thinking about renting space in their church for counseling office
• Building is giant, population in extreme need
• Wants to discuss micro school opportunity with pastors
• Prefers getting someone from congregation to be guide first

Jeremiah Testimony (Remote Prayer Power)

Background:

• At-risk student at alternative school
• Came to office with stomach pain "like snakes moving"
• Revealed trauma: watched mom and brother get run over on highway
• Survivor's guilt: "Why am I here? Why didn't I die too?"
• Moved place to place by relatives, felt like burden

Intervention:

• Ida talked and prayed with him
• Called pastor Brother Abraham, put Jeremiah on phone
• Pastor prayed for him - immediate calm
• Youth pastor started picking up Jeremiah weekly for church

Outcome:

• Graduated high school
• Went to community college
• "I was just happy that he didn't commit suicide"

Lesson:

• "We're those people. Like people call you for encouragement and advice. Or people call me for prayer."
• Demonstrates remote prayer can be impactful

Gary Updates

Professional:

• At AI meetup during call
• Started new job with AI community
• Following up with lieutenant governor next week

• On athletic director: "When I saw that guy's eyes, I was like, this man is a pervert or something. He's sick. He's corroded."

• The thesis: "Micro schools are great. But there'll be a lot of gaps. Service providers that can service multiple homeschool kids, multiple micro schools. Especially counselors. Especially Christian counselors."
