What's up fam welcome back to the wood that's good podcast.
I am so stoked for this Wednesday because we have the most special guest maybe that we've
ever had.
Should I say that I've had my husband on here and my mom but this girl is a rock star and
I love her.
We happen to share a room for pretty much our whole life until
I got married. We have Bella Rob, my sister on the piecast.
Welcome V. Hello, hello. Yeah, it was like pulling teeth to get this girl on the podcast.
We've had some big names on the podcast with Bella Robb,
but one of the hardest to get, I had to call her assistant.
I'm just kidding. She was an assistant, but I'm so thrilled that we finally have Bella on the podcast.
Bella, we're going to ask you the same question.
I said, we, who's we? It's me.
I'm going to ask you the same question as everybody.
What's the best piece of advice you have ever been given
The best use of ice I've ever been given is a quote by Billy Graham
My friend told me at this past summer and it changed everything about the way I live about the way I do relationships and about the way
I love people it says it's the Holy Spirit's job to convict God's job job to judge, and it's only our job to love.
Let's go.
I remember her telling me that,
and ever since that day, I've never done relationships the same.
I've just learned like, it's really not my job to convict people.
It's not my job to judge people.
It's just not a job to love them too.
I just have to meet them where they're at.
Let's go.
Y'all, 17 years old just dropped the bomb.
Yes, it was from Billy Graham,
but even the fact that you were listening to Billy Graham
or take notes from Billy Graham is huge.
He's honestly one of my favorite, like,
preachers of all time,
because he just says it how he is,
but that's such good advice, Bella.
And that's hard,
because a lot of times we like to step into that role
of convicting or judging,
but it's just our job to love.
That's like our greatest commitment.
So I love that.
Bella, everybody learns so much about you.
In fact, this week Bella graduated high school
a year early, so if you worked her butt off
and in our little graduation speech that my parents did,
it was so much about how everybody learns so much from you.
And you're only 17.
And so where do you feel like that wisdom
beyond your years comes from?
Well, I think from my mom, obviously,
her mom's the best.
She's so great.
She's so wise.
And I think that she's really taught me just like,
to be a quick learner, and to learn first, and learn fast.
And I think that that's really helped me in life,
and really been a turning point for me.
When she taught me, learn first and learn fast
After that day like ever since then I've just picked on whatever she says
But whatever she says I pick up on and I learn it and I want to be like her and I think that
She said wise and me wanting to be like her has made me that's so true
Okay, that's so crazy because you don't know this but I just just interviewed mom for something else. And I asked her what's her passion behind
like teaching a younger generation.
And she said, I'm a learner and I wanna teach people that.
And so the fact that you do is so cool.
And you are so much like her, that's awesome.
A cool fact about you that probably most people don't know.
I mean, they might know from following you on Instagram.
By the way, cool as Instagram,
ever have always been inspired. I'm always like a one from following you on Instagram. By the way, cool as Instagram, ever have always been inspired.
I'm always like a one-tron behind you on Instagram,
but she writes poetry and she's done this for a long time
and it's really good.
It's not just like the 13 year old girl
who writes poetry like I did
and then it was like, don't show anybody that.
That's embarrassing.
I thought it was like good, it's gold that. That's embarrassing. Like, the whole thing is like good. It's gold.
And one day she wrote this poem about,
I am a lion finding its roar.
And it was so powerful.
And I just want you to tell them about the poem.
If you remember it, say it, if you don't, you don't have to.
But just where that comes from,
because I think that there is so much good advice
within those words.
Yeah, it's funny.
I've written so much poetry since that day.
That seems so little to me now,
but it really was a big part of my life at the time.
But at the time, I was probably 14 or 15.
I think I was in eighth grade.
I was in English class, my teacher told me
to write a poem about an animal and relate it to life.
And I wrote this poem that said, I'm a lion finding its roar.
I was once a shadow, but now I'm much more.
I would no longer be silent.
I would no longer be still.
I'm a lion finding their roar.
And that really came from like being, not, I was like being in the shadow of Sadie, which
was like something that really wasn't there, but seemed there, I guess.
It wasn't something that was like actually my life or my story, but it felt like it at the time.
And Sadie just finished his dance with the stars and was just like killing it, rocking and rolling, moved to Nashville.
And everyone started saying like, oh, you look just like Sadie, you all look so much alike.
And I was just like, okay, like who am I?
Like who am I though?
Like me and Sadie, yes, we look so much alike
and like yes, we're sisters, but like we are so different.
And like who am I in that?
And like, how do I grow into who I am without being Sadie?
You know?
And like everyone wanted me to do the same thing.
And like, I felt pressured to like go on
and do this as well as it be all this
and move to Nashville, but really like who was I?
And so I wrote that poem about finding a roar
and like finding my own self
and not living in that shadow anymore
but coming out of that and finding who I was.
And honestly, like poetry for me has been something
that like even if I don't know what I'm thinking,
like, I can sit down and write and buy the end of it.
I don't know exactly where I'm at.
Yeah.
I can sit there and be all, I can be sad or I can be happy about something, but not really
know what it is.
Just be like, low or something.
And I can start writing it on by the end of it.
I can pinpoint exactly where I'm at and what I'm thinking.
And that for me was kind of that poem.
Like, I didn't really know that's what I was thinking.
I didn't really know that was the feeling I'm thinking. And that for me was kind of that poem. Like, I didn't really know that's what I was thinking. I didn't really know that was the feeling I was feeling.
I didn't know that I was struggling with comparison
or with living in the shadow.
And then I wrote that poem and I was like,
wow, this is so true.
Like, I would need to find my own room.
Once I could get it out there,
then I could actually work on it.
And I could actually do it.
Y'all, I'm telling you, 14, you wrote that.
And 17, she's pouring that out.
And I'm so thankful Bella that you write
and that you share and that you're vulnerable and real
because it frees us to have the relationship
that we do have because a lot of people take that
little ounce of comparison and they run away from the person.
And you took it and you did something with it
and we continued to run to each other. And it saved our friendship, our sisterhood. And it's so cool.
Y'all God's so intentional. Like he knew when he put us in the right family, like, to be
sisters. Let's just talk anyogram for a minute because I think this is like so true to
just God setting our personalities perfectly to be sisters and the role that we're at.
I'm a six, which is like the loyalist, Albi Bella's homegirl to the inn.
We shared a bed forever. Like we were together. But Bella, you want to tell them what you are?
Yeah, I'm a four. So the individualist. Which might not be shocking to you after her poetry.
Yeah, I'm a four, but I always test two, but but I am a four and I've had some identity crisis
in my life.
I'm not a four I'm a one or I'm not a four I'm a nine but I am just very four of you.
But I say that to say that, you know, God knows who he's putting in a family a lot of
times and she's a four and the individualist and I'm a sixist. And, you know, we've gone through a lot together,
and our family's gone through a lot,
but we continue to be loyal and Bella individually
has just been a rock in our family.
Like, she's just been a friend to everyone.
Everyone loves Bella equally.
I mean, she might be everybody's favorite sibling,
and I'm okay with that,
because she's mine too, no offense everybody else. But no, she might be everybody's favorite sibling and I'm okay with that because she's mine too. No offense
Everybody else, but no, she's the best
But I think one of the things that everybody is drawn to by you and kind of amazed by you is your confidence
Mom talks about that you were confidence since you were born like you just were I remember whenever she was little
You said tell her to go do stuff for me. I'd be like
I feel like I can get me water,
I feel like you're gonna do this
because she's five years younger than me.
And one day, she so brutally messed up her Rs and said,
I am not your servant, I'm not your servant.
Okay, and then she said, I'm a girl
and I am out of this world.
And she like, sassy, stormed off.
She just confident, she's not gonna let you run over her.
And that's something that so many 17 year old girl struggle with like and and then so on and so on. People 40 struggle with
their confidence. I'm 22 and there are times where I struggle with my confidence and I
know you struggle, it's you're not perfect. But what would you say and just some advice
to give with somebody who's like, how do you find confidence?
Yeah, something that I always hear is like, you don't just wake up one day and look at
yourself and say I'm beautiful and think that and believe it, but you have to choose it. And I
hear that a lot. And for me, that really hasn't always been the case. Like you said, like I really
have been confident in a sense, since the day I was born. But I think something that I've realized
is like, I really do trust God. and I really do believe his way their best.
And like, if I believe that,
then how can I look at myself and say,
like this is a new one, so to be,
or this isn't what I'm supposed to look like?
Because like, if I really do believe,
I made an image of God,
and if I really do believe that God's plans are perfect
and that God makes perfect things,
that God makes things how he wants them,
then how could I look at myself myself and want to change that?
Yeah, it's kind of what really changed it for me.
Like I do struggle and like I did struggle a lot
when I first got into high school.
But I really had to sit down and be like,
okay, got like I believe like if I'm going to sit here
and I believe that you're going to make my life
how you want to.
I'm going to sit here and trust your will. Then how can I not trust
that your will was still the same perfect will when you made me, you know? That really kind of has been
like a rock for me like, okay, like even if some days I wake up and I'm like, I don't really feel
beautiful and I want to put on makeup and I want to change how I look. Okay, but God like really
did make me in his image and really did make me perfect. And then like in his eyes and like, if this is how it was supposed to be,
then this is how I'm so still looking like, I don't want to mess with God or I don't want to like
change what God made. If he made me like this, he made me like this for a reason.
I don't want to, I don't even want to offend God by him.
Like thinking that I think I'm not beautiful in his eyes or I think that his creation
isn't perfect.
Yeah.
And that's so great.
I love that.
Well, you're so spot on.
And that's kind of how it was for me to you know I had this moment where I had to like
sit down with the Lord and wrestle to find my confidence.
I think confidence for most people like it's the easiest thing to fake for a lot of people
and so people see it and they're like, Oh, yeah, I want to be confident because people
make confidence
all about appearance or acolytes or success. And it's just not where confidence is found. It's easy to fake and the hardest thing to really obtain. But when you find it in the Lord and you
sit down and you kind of go through that wrestle of like, this is what I'm insecure about. But
God, this is what your word says. Like that's when you have true confidence that is unshakable.
Like you can go through any season of life
and you're like, hey, I have confidence,
not in what I look like, not in my successes,
not in my thing that everybody else
sees about the inside of me.
And you have that so beautiful.
I've seen you go through times where you won't
wear makeup or brush your hair, get ready, and mom,
and kind of drives mom crazy,
but you're like, girl, confident.
Like, Lord's working on me.
Yeah, I was about to say something
I like, you really have to sit down and say,
it's like, okay, what is beauty?
And then like, what really is beauty?
That's good.
So one of my favorite stories of mom is like,
mom does, like, it bothers mom when I do not like,
and I know it bothers her too.
So I can't push her with that too.
But I like never really wear makeup that much.
I don't really brush my hair that much.
And when we were fasting as a church
I decided to fast make up
Which is funny that I fast that because I don't really wear it ever anyway
So it's funny that I would do that, but I do wear on days when I don't feel like I
Look as great or I feel yeah less confident and that was my point of fasting it like okay
Like on the days when I do you feel like I need it like I really don't and I need a surrender that yeah and so I remember one day it was like
almost the last day and I had not told anyone I was fasting I just did it and then I said mom
it's crazy I'm almost 20 one days without makeup and she goes oh I'm so glad you said that
because I was getting worried about you she gave it to a talk to me. Mom, and I was like, what? And I looked at her and I said, and I love my mom
and I love her so much.
But I said, mom, that is not right.
I was like, if you think that I need makeup to be beautiful,
then you are not right.
And she does not think that.
And she does not think that at all.
But it was a funny conversation to have.
And after that, I really thought about it.
Like, okay, like, what do I believe about it?
You know, that was a good thing for me to have like a check. Like, okay,, I really thought about it. Like, okay, like, what do I believe about it, you know?
That was a good thing for me to have a check.
Like, okay, do I really?
What do I really think people do to them?
And for the record, my mom really does not care at all what we look like, but she is
one to be like, all right, let's pick ourselves up, put ourselves together, you know, just
to succeed in the day.
Go on about life. It's not really about where makeup is just about getting ready.
And she was like, well, hasn't gotten ready in like two weeks.
And I'm like, I think she's like working on her confidence.
But that's the thing, guys.
Like if you're a girl out there and you struggle and like,
some are into the things that are you're like safety now.
Like, I'm confident because of this.
And if it's anything about your outward appearance
or something that was fleeting or fulfill,
like get rid of it for a little bit
and like find confidence in your heart.
All right, Bella, one thing I want to ask you about
is your friendship with Kaylee.
Cause Kaylee is Bella's best friend
and she is a rock star.
Some of you may know Kaylee because she does worship
for me a lot of times when I do divos on L.O. fam or L.O. sister now. But you guys have the funniest saying. You know,
I can't cap and walking on wheels like is hilarious. Give us some of your you and Kaylee's
saying because I think that those in themselves should be like, whoa, that's good pieces of
advice. Oh my goodness. Me and Kaylee are something. But one thing we can Klier always say is,
you get chapped, you get up, you get better.
So like, you get beat down, you get raw, you get exposed.
But after that, you gotta get up,
and you gotta get better.
And like I said, all the time,
get your stuff out of your bed.
It's funny.
They say all these, and they have scripture to back it.
But that one is a proverse.
Yeah, the red stamp all the seven times,
but they get back up and we know that's what we say.
You get chapped, you get up, you up and we know that's what we say.
You get chatt, you get up, you get better.
And then another one we say is, so me and Kayleigh started a ministry here in Western
now.
It's a women's ministry, women's gatherings seasonally.
And when we started it, we made a rulebook of all the things that we were going to keep
each other accountable of.
And we were going to keep in our friendship and in our business relationship, I guess.
And we created a little motto.
We say we're called to the LA,
we are go-getters with a yes in our spirit.
We will stay teachable, humble, and serve at hearted.
And we say that all the time.
We'll stay teachable, humble, and serve at hearted.
The best thing truly is when you and Keri
go at the same time,
and it's like, we are co-today LA.
And we will say it to you all, it's the best together.
But I love it because a lot of times when you go into camp
or you go into a new job or whatever,
they have these motivational sayings or taglines
or mission statements.
And it's important that they have mission statements
because it sets the tone of what the business or what the camp or what the place will do
Okay, they'll be in Bella and their friendship. They have them essentially a mission statements
And it's so cool because you see it come out of their life like live original for my team
We have a mission statement one of the things that we do is we always try to remind each other the original person that they are that
God created and we try to be better sisters and friends.
So sisters and friends has become our thing.
We're like, are we being better sisters and friends?
And that really carries everything that we do and that's the base of everything that
we do.
And so for y'all, everything that you do is humble, servant, hard and it's really cool
to see that.
And so I just wanted to share that with people because I think you know, friendships,
a lot of the times people have hard times with friendships
and I guess what, hard times are gonna come
with friendships because they're your friend
and life's hard sometimes.
But when you have a mission statement
or you have intentionality behind a friendship
and it's built on something bigger than yourself.
It's built on what God's done in y'all's life,
what God's doing through y'all,
then you create an
unshakable bond. And I've seen that for you and Kaylee.
Yeah, it's also, it's a great reminder, like something we else who say is we always say space
for grace. Like, give each other space for grace. Like the second you start to think you're
like judging someone and you're like, you're running out of patience for someone. We're like,
hey, give some space for grace. You would want the same space for grace, wouldn't you? So I think it's just a great reminder, like, okay,
space for Grace, or get chapped, get up, get better,
or like, no, the thing we say is we say Motel 6.
It's like, leave the light on like Motel 6.
Motel 6 is motto is, we'll leave the light on for you.
And we say the same thing.
We're like Motel 6, leave the light on for him.
Like, we're gonna leave the light on all night.
If you need me, like, at 2 a.m., I'm leaving the light on for you.
I'm never Motel 6 for you. I'm never gonna tell six for you.
I love that.
No, it's all six, baby.
Let's go.
See, I'm telling you, so much comes out of them.
It's hilarious and it's so good.
All right, let's say I feel like there's so many things
I could ask you.
Let me just do a little behind the mic.
We go into relationships.
You can.
Okay, see, that's a standard friend.
You got to ask a girl.
Okay, so if you haven't seen Bella Robes Instagram,
there's a new boy in the picture.
Yeah, there is.
All right, but we're not just gonna talk to juice,
you know, I'm not here to spill the tea if you will.
I'm just here to ask advice,
because a lot of people out there always want
relationship advice. Trust me, you can read any DM on any Instagram account I have.
Relationship advice is the number one question that we get.
But you know, you and Jacob, I guess it's okay if say his name, you didn't tag him.
Y'all were friends before you all started dating for a while.
And I know a lot of people wrestle with just, and not to mention that we all just friends,
you were single for a pretty good bit
before you and Jacob started dating.
People oftentimes ask me, how do you wait?
Like, how do you wait?
How do you not get impatient?
And honestly, I'm curious too,
because that's all you be patient with that.
What's the advice you get to somebody just waiting?
Advice how to get to someone just waiting, I think, is that like, people always say like,
the second you're not looking, you're going to find someone and like, as much as that's true,
I think like, really the saying should go like, the second you start living your life.
Yeah.
Not for that sole purpose to find someone is the second you're going to find someone.
And I think, whoa, that's good.
And I think that's kind of what happened for me.
Like, it's funny because it's probably the fall of this past year.
The Mollyec December or November, I told Kaylee, I say Kaylee, look,
I need you to keep me accountable. This, okay? And I said,
do not let me date anyone until I graduate. I said, I don't need a date
anyone else. Like, I just need to be single.
And like, I am one of those people who like,
I never want to put a limit on anything.
Like, I never, not a limit on anything,
but I don't want to ever like be like,
I'm not dating for a year.
Like, yeah.
It's just because I don't want to like,
I don't want to like close the door to things that could happen.
What if Prince Charming Locks in six months later?
That's exactly my exact thought.
And so, I like have always said that,
but I was like, I'm just saying this to you though.
I'm not gonna tell everyone this because obviously it could change,
but don't let me date and tell a graduate.
I don't need to.
She was like, okay.
And then it was actually funny because Jacob actually told me,
he liked me when it'd be with me.
Side note, Jacob is Kaylee's brother.
Yes, but he told me that the day I graduated,
and he had no clue about any of that.
And I didn't even remember it.
Kaylee reminded me the next day she was like,
Bella, do you remember you told me
that you did, Jay Gajray?
And this always happening on the day you graduated.
And I was like, oh my goodness.
That's crazy.
But what I realized is like, I really did,
during those what six months, I really did like live my life
For God and for friendship and for my relationship with other women and my relationship with girls and my relationship
With mentorship and with discipleship like I lived my life for that and not to find someone or to be with someone
I didn't worry about that much
I really was living my life for the sole purpose
of God's will and for the sole purpose
of getting God's word out there.
And that was what I lived my life for the past six months.
And I still lived my life for that.
But it was funny because over these six months,
I didn't even have to think about it.
Like, that's just what I lived my life for.
And then it all came, you know.
It's awesome.
And yeah, I think too many times people say, like, don't look and you'll find someone, but it's really live your life.
And you find someone, you know, like, they always say that, go to like run, like when you're
running after God, and like, you just go over and you'll see it. And like, that really
is true. And I didn't realize it into our really real eyes. Like the essence of it is
really just don't let that be your main focus every day.
That's true. That's so good. What a word. Yeah. That's so true. What she said,
like, don't look just live because it's almost like, you know, whenever somebody's,
like, don't touch me. And you're not touching you. I'm not touching you because,
like, when you're not supposed to touch that person, that's the only thing you can think
about is like annoying them and touching them. It's like, when you say, don't look,
lots of times you're like so distracted at the fact
that you're trying not to look
that your mind's still consumed.
But when you just surrender that
and just start living out the life God's call to you,
you're so free, you're not thinking about anything.
They say you know literally the man you're getting married
could be right beside you, you're like,
hey, and months go by and you're like,
oh wait, hey, I feel like that
happened with you and Jacob and with me and Christian. And that's so true.
And that's the thing too. Like when I was sitting there like thinking about it
every day, like I didn't have to go around and tell all my family and friends, like,
I'm not dating till I get graduate. You know, like I didn't have to have that
pressure of everyone being like, oh, well, you said, you know, like I just told Kayleigh and I said, look, keep me accountable to this. And like, I'm going to try to do this.
If I mess it up, it's okay. If I start getting someone, it's okay. It's not the end of the world.
But I want to try this. And I want to like, I want to follow God in this. And like,
from that day on, it all worked out. But I didn't have to like, go around and tell everyone
and have that pressure of everyone being like, you were you said, you know?
Yeah, that's so tough.
I just told Kaley, I said, keep me accountable this, but if I don't do it,
it's okay, space for Grace, you know, but I'm going to try this thing.
And like, if it works, it works.
And like God really did walk me through that.
That's so good.
Yeah.
That's so good.
Yeah, I told you all.
I told you all.
She's 17, but she might.
Everything in her is just pure gold
And if you read and Luke it talks about how there's treasures in our heart
And it talks about how the good person good treasures come out the evil person evil treasures come out
And it's so beautiful because when I talk to people always pray a prayer that I would find the golden their life
And essentially I'm like I want to find those treasures like I didn't tell you any question
I was gonna ask you. I just started asking questions,
but I know you're a good person.
There's good treasures in your heart.
And with every question I asked you, gold came out.
And that just shows that you're in the word
that you love the Lord, you surround yourself
with the right people.
I've seen your journey of life.
It hasn't been perfect, but it's been beautiful.
And where you're at, I cannot be more proud of you.
You're awesome.
That was so good.
Thank you so much.
I love you too.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
All right fam, literally fam.
We just had a little sister Bella on the podcast
and she dropped some truth.
And did she not only drop truth
but she also hyped up my mom
and now we have my mom on the podcast.
That's so nice.
She knows we're all about the fam.
We're all about the fam
and y'all are part of our extended fam.
That's right.
So hey, but mom, as always,
we're gonna go through some good and bad advice
that was sent into the world.
That's good podcast Instagram.
So thank you everyone who sends in your advice
because we laugh and we love it.
All right, first piece of advice.
Now, I don't know quite what this is applied to,
but the advice is CYB, which stands for Cover Your Butt.
When I recover your butt, I think like modesty, right?
But it's not like that. It's talking about like cover your butt like watch your back.
Wabi watch your back. Yeah. It's kind of a like cynical advice. I feel like it's kind of like
Things aren't gonna be good so you better watch out, you know, so I don't really like to live my life that way
I just kind of like to live my life and just do the right thing and try to just treat
people well and believe that they're going to treat me well and that maybe that's kind of like a
poly and an optimistic view of life, but you know, I feel like it makes life good. No,
it is. Whatever something goes wrong and someone, you know, doesn't treat you right. Maybe you're
a little bit surprised, but I don't think that's a bad thing to be surprised
whenever somebody treats you wrong.
I think you should look at people with a positive
and trust them until they treat you differently.
And then whenever they treat you differently,
then you do something different.
That's good.
But I don't really think you should just
kind of live your life with them on set
of having to always cover your butt.
That's good.
Love that.
Good advice.
All right, the next one.
Now, this one also, I feel like it goes so many ways and I just want you to speak on this because I think people view like being on your phone cover your butt. That's good. Love that. Good advice. All right.
The next one.
Now, this one also, I feel like it goes so many ways and I just want you to speak on this
because I think people view like being on your phone is a bad thing, but yes, at times
it can be, but there's also like good to it too.
So they say always try your best and stay off your phone.
I would add to the end of that when you're around other people.
Yes.
Because when you're around other people, you need to be present with the people that you're
with.
And so I think, yeah, there's a ton of good things that come from your phone like yesterday.
I spent the whole day reading like Robbie's memorized quotes and listening to podcasts with
him because he passed away.
And it was just like, I just wanted to remember and look at all the amazing things he'd
said and done.
And there's so much good stuff out there.
But when you're with others,
you should be present in the moment.
So put the phone away when you're in the presence
of your friends and fam so that you can actually
have a real conversation.
So good.
And let me tell you, mom really holds you that.
If she sees anybody at dinner with their phone,
she's like, boom, boom.
I'm like under the table.
I'm having a subtle about it. So not embarrassed them, but I'm like, all right., boom. I was like under the table. I tried to be subtle about it,
so not to embarrass them, but I'm like, all right.
So many.
Give them a look.
Yeah, some of them just mentioned Ravi Zacharias.
And he just passed away this past week.
But as time you're listening might be two weeks,
but we just love Ravi and just his ministry.
He is such a good and faithful servant.
I so believe he's hearing those
words in heaven from our father. If anybody doesn't know Ravi, I strongly encourage you to go
on YouTube, look him up, go to passion this year. He spoke at the honor of speaking the
same day as him. So I was able to meet him and he prayed over Christian and I, just a solid
gentleman and not to mention one of the wisest men that has walked the earth,
especially in our generation.
And I think if you're looking for good advice, then you can definitely find it in Robbie's
writings, his words, all of that, just so much of what he said just comes from a deep like
well of wisdom.
And I know a lot of people fill that way about him that the things that he said has changed
their lives and changed their eternity.
And that's the best thing you can say about somebody.
So I think it'd be nice to just read some of his words.
Yeah, so we're just gonna read one of his quotes.
Once again, I encourage you to go dive in.
We are his temple.
We do not turn in a certain direction to pray.
We are not bound by having to go into a building
so that we can commune with God.
There are no unique postures and times and limitations that restrict our access to God.
My relationship with God is intimate and personal. The Christian does not go to the temple to worship.
The Christian takes the temple with him or her. Jesus lives us beyond the building and pays the
human body the highest compliment by making it his dwelling place,
the place where he meets with us. Even today, he would overturn the tables of those who would make
it a market for their own lust, greed, and wealth. Ravi's words are so powerful and he's just
encouraging us that we don't have to go anywhere, we don't have to do anything, we have to turn our direction, you literally are the temple of God.
He is dwelling in your heart,
so turn inward to Him.
And that's where you'll find your place of worship.
Oh, that's good.
