Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up fam welcome back to the World's Good Podcast y'all I want to do a short intro for who we have coming up because I am so excited that we have Louis Giglio on the World That's Good Podcast and I'm just going to go ahead and say this podcast is incredible and he has so much good advice but you do not want to miss the end of this podcast so stay tuned for the very end because we have a big announcement and some good news to share so much good advice but you do not want to miss the end of this fight guest so stay tuned for the very end because we have a big announcement and some good news to share with all of you. Also if you aren't familiar with Louis you probably are here so many good resources out there so many great things but his newest stuff is he has Goliath Musfall which is an incredible book
Starting point is 00:00:40 he has now for young readers too so you should go check that out. It says, get ready to live free. The same God who is with David can help you today because Goliath must fall. Everybody needs that message. Also, they have an Advent devotional book that is the same content that they've done before. So it's not completely new, but it's all new designs. So get that.
Starting point is 00:01:01 It's called Waiting Here for You. With all that to say, I cannot wait for us to have this incredible conversation with Louis Gaglio. Are you ready for the question of the world that's good podcast? I hope so, I think I'm ready. Okay, what is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given? I was thinking all the way back to different pieces of advice. The best one's Sadie, it's three words. Are you ready for this? Ready. Then be one. Wow. I have to
Starting point is 00:01:35 back up and explain a little bit. I heard about this guy named John Piper like 25 years ago and I started reading one of his books, let the nations be glad. It was blowing my mind, reading Piper books, take some concentration. And I thought, man, this guy's got a lot to say, but I showed up a little bit later at a conference that I was speaking at, and sort of like the lower level speaking zone, and he was the main speaker. I can see the seat I was sitting in right now. He gave his heartbeat message about it all being about God's glory and why that's the best thing for all of us. I don't think I breathe during the message. And I was riveted not only by what God was saying
Starting point is 00:02:18 to me, but how I knew it was just going to change everything about my life. And we left that session for lunch. And I was just over to table. And Piper was up at the head table. And he was sitting by himself. And the other guy said, and come to the table yet. So it was just John Piper sitting there eating. And I'm over to another table with some guys.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And I'm like, I don't ever go talk to people. I don't ever bother people. But I'm going to go tell John Piper or something. And so I got up my nerve, walked over there and I said, Dr. Piper, my name is Louis. I'm one of the other speakers here. And I just wanted to tell you that I haven't heard anyone speak like you just spoke. I said, I haven't heard but five people in my lifetime speak like you just spoke. lifetime speak like you just spoke. And he looked up at me, he had green beans on his fork. Yes. And he looked up at me. It's only John Piper could. And he said, well,
Starting point is 00:03:22 then be one. Wow. And then there'll be six of us. That is so cool. I kind of snuck back over to my table. I'm such an idiot and I don't know why I went to talk to John Piper, but it stayed with me and it's great advice because you know we all look up to somebody, we all at Mars somebody, we all want to be something. And I think when you just flip it around, the best advice is do what it takes to be that then. If that's really the vision you have for your life, then don't just tell that person that you are really touched by what they did, commit yourself to being that person. And it really did set me on an awkward trajectory, but it is some of the best advice I've ever
Starting point is 00:04:05 gotten in my life. I love that. That's so good. I hear that all the time. People come up to me and they say, I want to be. You want to be just like you want to do what you're doing. That's such good advice, especially for people who even come to conferences that you do like the passion conference.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I know the last thing you would want is for someone to leave and say, I want to be Louie Giggly or I want to be a Sadie Roe. You want them to say, I want to be more like Jesus and go out and live that life. And so I think that is such good advice. And short, we can all remember that. Then be one. I do want to talk to you about the passion conference because obviously so many college students have been impacted by that. One question I just have for you is why college students? Why do you and Shelley pour your heart out to the 18 to 25 year old person? You know, Sadie, I said out, love God and to serve him and I never thought about being in college ministry. I ended up super short story being a summer college intern while I was in grad school at seminary. And the first. I ended up super short story being a summer college intern while I was in
Starting point is 00:05:05 grad school at seminary. And the first summer I ended up at this church being a college intern for the summer. Never done college ministry really wasn't on my radar. But I ended up doing that the next couple of summers. And while I was doing it, I started dating Shelley. She was at Baylor. I started spending my weekends at Baylor, and I went to an urban campus, and so I went to kind of college at home. We called it 13th grade, growing up in Atlanta, Georgia. I went to Georgia State University. There was no on campus living at the time.
Starting point is 00:05:35 So I didn't really get that college experience, and now I'm spending weekends in Waco, sleeping on guys' couches, and sleeping on guys' floors, because I'm dating Shelley Shelley and I'm learning, oh, this is how college works. And in the summers, I'm pouring into these college kids during these summer college internships. And I realized in that moment,
Starting point is 00:05:55 the main thing that pushed us over the edge, Sadie was realizing two things. Number one, a lot of followers of Jesus. So a lot of people I know listening today haven't made that decision and maybe don't have a big faith component. But for a lot of Christians, church people, I saw them in their church summer college and turn world. And then I saw them the moment they hit the campus and they were two completely different people. Yeah. And I realized this window, this 18 to 25 year old window, it's where people make the decisions that shape the rest of their life.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah. They meet their wife, they get their friend group, they get a trajectory going for their world. And it's where people decide, is this my parents' faith or is this my faith? It's good. And we have to work that out. Secondly, if you saw the movie about Facebook and you go back to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook runs the world, by the way, and it runs the world because it went crazy on a college
Starting point is 00:06:57 campus. And the campus is an incredible incubator for all kinds of things. And if the gospel is that thing, then the college campus, I believe, can possibly be the best place on planet earth for the gospel to change the world. So great. Come on. Everybody who's listening, I want you to hear that. That is, we can go saying that the college campus can be the greatest place to spread the gospel. And I think, you know, sometimes we get intimidated by the stereotype that college students have, or maybe that you have
Starting point is 00:07:30 as a college student. But be that person to break that stereotype. All it takes is preaching the gospel. It takes is the power of Jesus to see people go from death to life. That literally is all it takes is just living it out. And so Louis, it means so much that you guys believe in that 18 to 25 year old age group so much, clearly, because I am in that age group. And I think about the fact that you all started passion and even before that, you all were doing college ministry,
Starting point is 00:07:59 you were doing ministry in general. But you started it before I was even born. And now you're welcoming us like me and others into it, and you believe in that next generation. And so what is the importance for you that you're kind of setting up the next generation to win and to be outspoken for the gospel? I think it's just that viewpoint, Sadie, that you drive by these churches all the time that you see that there are more people in the cemetery of the church than you could possibly fit in the church. And there's one of those used to be on the street at the road that Shelley and I lived
Starting point is 00:08:33 on. We don't live on that road now, but we saw it every day, and I would drive by it. I'd be like, you could only fit 128 people in that church. But yet, it looks like there's about 528 people in the cemetery next door. And so you have to have a view to the future. The gospel is always future. Jesus died on Friday, but the story really hit its peak on Sunday. Jesus was raised from the dead, but you know, Pentecost came and by that time he'd already ascended back into heaven, he ascended into heaven and said, I'm going to come and set my foot back down on this mountain. And so we're all waiting for that moment. So the gospel is
Starting point is 00:09:12 future forward. And so leaders have to be that way. And frankly, I just am energized by that moment, that convergence of the 20 years, the 30 year window where people have all the possibility in front of them. And my friends are talking about retiring and what they're gonna do, you know, in the last chapter of life. And I'm like, that is so uninspiring to me.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I wanna be around people who are looking to the future and say to you, you are the future. And so the way a lot of leaders say it is that you look through people. So you don't look to somebody, oh, you're going to be the person. You're always looking through that person, not like they're not important, but who's the next person? That's cool. And who's the person after them? And that's what Jesus was doing. He was looking at His followers, but he didn't just look to the 12, he looked through the 12,
Starting point is 00:10:08 and when he looked through the 12, he could see me. And so when he was preaching to them, he was always including me, and those who will come after you, that was me. And so I think that's what keeps us going and keep us focused on the young generation, the next generation, if you will. Yeah, so good. I just encourage young people I know for the most part, the majority of listeners, you know, I think we want the older generation to believe in us so much, but I encourage
Starting point is 00:10:36 you to believe in the older generation too. I was having a conversation with people the other day and they're in Gen Z, you know, my generation and they're just kind of struggling wanting to listen to wisdom from older generation saying they couldn't understand what we go through, you know, they didn't have the social media back and the whole thing and I'm like, yeah, they might not understand that element of your life, but on a heart level they do, they've gone through all the same feelings you're going through and you need their wisdom. And I always think that like when wisdom and when that younger zeal joins in, you see these powerful things happen. And so we need that collaboration.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And I just love that you've welcomed me to the table and so many other young people. Speaking of young people though, I know what every young person loves to hear about is relationships. And you kind of mentioned, you and Shelley, y'all's dating years and all of those things. Today, actually, when the podcast is going live, this is me and Christians one year anniversary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And one year ago, you were actually the pastor at our wedding and I thought it was so special that you happened to be on the podcast today. But I want to talk about dating well, you know, and ask you if you feel like in how you and Shelley dated. Did it set you up well for how y'all's marriage is today? And if not, that's okay. Honestly, you can say no. Our dating wasn't great. We've learned a lot in marriage. Or do you think there were elements to how y'all dated that set you up well to have a good marriage?
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yeah, well, hey, congratulations. And your wedding was absolutely like out of this world. Thank you. And it was such a special night when you have people come literally from around the world to celebrate you guys. And can I just share one thing real super quick?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Please do. So I think there was a delay. We were waiting on the shuttle buses or something was taking longer. And there was like a little gap of time. And Christian was super nervous. He was pacing around. And it was just me and him.
Starting point is 00:12:39 All y'all are up at the little house. And Christian, I were staying in the kitchen. And I was like, man, I don't know if Christian's going to make it. He's awesome. I know he's going to make it. But you know what I'm saying? It was just like he was nervous. But just so happens, your dad has a golf hole right out in your backyard. And so I went rummaging around and say, Christian, where does Willie keep his golf clubs? And he goes, in here. So we're in there digging out golf balls and golf clubs. And then there's Christian and me outside your house, chipping balls up onto this green.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And neither one of us were doing very good. But it was so awesome. And it was one of my favorite moments of life. It just kind of led all the air out of the space. And I think in the dating zone, Sadie, the thing that's most important, I think, and dating, is that you establish your purpose. You decide when you're dating, who Sadie, the thing that's most important, I think, and dating is that you establish your purpose. You decide when you're dating, who are we,
Starting point is 00:13:29 and what are we gonna be, so that by the time shelly, and I stood up on the platform in the old sanctuary, at Second Baptist Church Houston, and said, we do. We were committed to living our lives for Jesus. We didn't know what that looked like, where it was gonna take us. We didn't know what that looked like, where it was going to take us. We didn't know the details. We just knew we have been worshiping together. We've been singing pray songs at the top of our lungs right in the car together. We have been memorizing God's
Starting point is 00:13:56 word together. We have been in ministry together. And we did long distance dating for a couple of years and so we'd fought that fight and survived, which I think is a good thing. I think that just strengthens relationship sometimes. But we knew what our purpose was. And so a lot of people date just wasting time. It's like, what are we doing this weekend? And what are we doing next weekend? And you want to go to the lake?
Starting point is 00:14:21 And you want to do this instead of going, what is life about? And what is our life about? It's good. And let's start doing that now. If we believe we're going to make an impact in the world for Jesus, let's start doing that now. Or say you're out in business. We want to build a business.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Okay, let's start working on a business together or let's start serving the community together. Yeah. And that way once you get married, it's not like, oh, now we're married. Now we start our life. It's no, now we're married. Now we start our life. It's no, now we're married. We just continue our life. That's so good. A style is your purpose.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I love that. It's funny. He mentioned the golfing moment because that was definitely one of Christian's favorite moments. He actually just is on the other side of the room. He said, of my life, I was going to say, of the wedding. I wanted his favorite moments of his life because, yes, he was so nervous and that just brought him back to the moment.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But you've even mentioned earlier when we were talking about Neon Christian's mission statement for our relationship. And I can think back to when we were dating and we were constantly thinking of what our purpose is, what our mission is while we're dating. And those little taglines are those things that we're both going for the desires of our hearts talking those out together We're super important so that when we get married We could you know hit the ground running and with those things that we had already talked about and prayed about and all the things And if you are married and you haven't ever done that that was a great time to start, you know
Starting point is 00:15:42 Making your marriage have purpose and have vision and mission. Yeah, I think so many people say they think all you need is love and that's his so not true. Yeah. You know, life isn't about, let's just be in love. Life is about, we were created for a purpose and we were put on earth for a purpose. We all are breathing air for a reason and every family needs a purpose. Great. And it starts with that couple.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I just would take a step back today or whenever you're listening to this podcast, if you're in a relationship and just say, hey, what is our purpose? And why are we better together than we are apart? And what does God want to do through our lives? And I think once you know that, it gives you some ballast in your boat, it gives you some direction because every couple is gonna face headwind, there's gonna be hard times in every relationship,
Starting point is 00:16:33 but the purpose is what sort of guides you through all of that. Yep, so good. I know one thing that you talk about publicly is anxiety and you talk about that and Goliath must fall. And I feel like we couldn't do a podcast and not touch on it because both of us have struggle with just the grip of anxiety. And I know this year, especially in the midst of COVID, it has sparked, you know, a lot of people who maybe haven't ever struggled or those who've struggled for
Starting point is 00:16:59 a long time for it to be even heavier of a grip. Can you give some advice to the person who is walking in the midst of that really dark struggle of anxiety right now? This is going to sound simplistic, Sadie, but you know I've been down in a deep, deep hole of depression and so nothing I say is simplistic. I take mental illness, depression, anxiety, super serious. Yeah. It can take you out. But at the same time, you're going to make it. That's what I want to say to that person. You're hearing voices telling you you're not going to make it, but those are not coming from your creator.
Starting point is 00:17:34 They're not coming from your maker. They're not coming from your shepherd. You said, I'm going to lead you through the valley of the shadow of death. It's great. I'm not going to drop you off somewhere. I'm going with you all the way through it. And when I was in that deep hole, the thing I had to fight against and that God gave me the grace to overcome in an amazing way was that I didn't think I was going to make it. And I think once you believe that long enough, you finally succumb to that and then you don't make it. And so it's just
Starting point is 00:18:02 writing a simple statement today. I'm going to make it. Today we're recording this podcast on your anniversary and this is a day in the year and we made it. This is November and we made it. We made it. You're going to make it. You may feel like there's a thousand pounds on you today. You may feel like it's dark and hopeless, but you're going to make it. You are going to make it. And I think when you start changing your own personal narrative, like, I don't feel better, I don't feel different. I'm not talking about simple solution, Sadie, a band-aid, a one-size-fits-all. I'm just talking about changing your narrative and just saying, you know what? Today is the hardest day of my life, but I am going to make it into statement.
Starting point is 00:18:45 So great. And something about that, let's a little bit of light in. And the other thing, and I've said this before, and people can hear this on a message I gave called, I'm not okay, but Jesus is that little sentence. Yes. I'm not doing good right now, but Jesus is doing okay. Jesus is not suffering depression. He doesn't need medication. He doesn't need medication.
Starting point is 00:19:05 He doesn't need counseling. And he's here with me right now. So I do need some of those things. I need help. I need a doctor. I need a friend. I need light. I need freedom.
Starting point is 00:19:15 But Jesus is right here with me. And he's okay. And if we can be open about that and not fake it till you make it, you can't do that with depression. You have to face it. you have to be honest, you have to speak it out, you have to be vulnerable and transparent.
Starting point is 00:19:28 That's right. And let the light in, but I would just encourage you to change that little simple narrative today. You are going to make it. You made it this far and you're gonna make it. That's great. I know that's so needed for so many people to hear. And if you're listening and you're like, I need more of that, I highly suggest going
Starting point is 00:19:48 to listen to, I'm not okay, but Jesus says, that was one of my favorite messages that you've preached. And I love several, but that one was so impactful. And then also, like I said, his book, Goliath Must Follow, I know you talk about just that battle and I have lived fearless out too. So if you need more resources, we put them out there and I'd love for you to go dive more into that. So good.
Starting point is 00:20:11 I know despite, you know, talking about you walking through depression and anxiety, one of the things just being up close in your years and Shelley's life, something that you can't miss when you talk to y'all is y'all live on incredible faith. I mean, people don't realize when they're at the passion conference, how much of it y'all are actually just completely dependent on God to show up and do and God shows up and does it. And so how do you encourage someone to live
Starting point is 00:20:38 in that place of dependency on God to increase their faith? Well, you know, you don't start by doing an event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. That's how you build your faith. If you start by taking one step and you take a small step and trust God and you do that with the counsel of people around you, you don't just haul off one day and say, I believe the Lord told me to go do X, Y and Z. So I'm going to go trust God. You humble yourself to the people around you, you discern what God's saying for you to do, and you take a step. And what you learn is sometimes you get it wrong, but a lot of times you get it right. And then you see God come through. And it's like building up the
Starting point is 00:21:20 calluses on the end of your finger, building a muscle or a muscle memory, you do that again and God comes through. Then you do that again and God comes through. And eventually you're standing in front of this giant mountain and you go, God's going to come through and people are like, how can you have that kind of faith? And you're like, I don't know, I don't know how I can have that kind of faith. I just kept taking little steps with God. And our passion story, you know, people say, oh, y'all are the biggest thing going. And you just say passion and all these people show up and they have no idea how much work it takes and how much faith it takes and how every year we need multiple miracles to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I mean, to get that flame from Jerusalem to Mercedes-Benz, they were a hundred miracles that happened on that journey. And that was just one part of passion 2020. Yep. And so take the little step but do it with wise people around you. And you don't have to haul off and raise the dead. Yeah. Just take the little step and say, God, I'm going to trust you with this. And then I'm going to see you come through and then take the next step after that and you end up at some pretty big mountains and when you do you're not intimidated by the size of the mountain because you've already gotten to know the size of your God. Come on that's so good. I love that. Actually just last week on the podcast we were talking with Carrie Jove and she was talking about
Starting point is 00:22:41 how right before passion they were praying that the wind of God would just come in. It would come in like a mighty rushing wind. People would feel it on their faces. And then, of course, in that moment, the top of the Mercedes-Benz stadium opens up, which was not planned in the way that the wind formed. I mean, it was like a mighty rushing wind in the place. And so we were just talking about that moment. And it was so cool.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Speaking of passion, I know so many people have been so disappointed that there is not gonna be a passion 2021 this year. But we have some good news to share with everybody who's been a little disappointed, a little sad about that, that there actually is going to be a passion 2021 this year. Sadie Robertson Huff come on.
Starting point is 00:23:31 What I mean, can I say that right now? Is that allowed? I think you can. I don't even know if that's like public or anything. It might just be like just out today. But hey everybody, good news. We are going to be hosting Passion 2021 on New Year's Eve. Yes, we started this year, the
Starting point is 00:23:53 first minute of this year. We were praising God, and we are going to end this year, the last minute of this year, praising God. And people are going to say, oh my gosh, tell me you're going to be back in Mercedes-Benz. I'm there. Well, I think people understand that COVID is kind of flipping things around again. And we're kind of on the back side of this thing again. And we're not making as much progress as we want. So we are going to be hosting a global gathering mostly online. And we're pumped about it. And we are not shrinking back, but we're going forward. And we just pumped about it and we are not shrinking back but we're going forward. And we just did not want the new year to turn without 18 to 25 year olds all around the world.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Linking and declaring, we believe even in this year that God is still good. That was what we were singing, Sadie, on the stroke of midnight. We good grace. Yep. And it was true then and it's true now. And we have been through the year of our lives. There will never be a year like it. I bet in all of our lives. But God has been in it and he has brought us through it. And that's the message that I'm building my life on today. God has been in it and he's bringing us through. We baptized a girl, Sadie Superfast, a college student who plays on the tennis team at one of the schools in town. She got baptized at church two weekends ago.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Come on. So that's awesome. Should be some amons out there. That's awesome. She's a major anxiety struggling. She will tell you that. I mean, like very, very serious, serious, critical fight against anxiety and depression.
Starting point is 00:25:26 But she came to online church when Craig Rochelle was speaking in the seven series at Passion City this summer. Wow. And Craig spoke about anxiety. She'd never heard anybody at church talk about anxiety. She got saved that day at church online. Wow. And she got baptized in real life, not online at church two weeks ago. One more college student come into passion 2021 alive in Jesus. So even in this year, there's so much to celebrate. And I'm happy to say that Sadie and Christian Huff and Liv original are partnering with passion this year. That's right. And together, we are leading the charge, inviting a generation to come and to live their lives for what matters most and that's the glory of God.
Starting point is 00:26:10 So I think there might be details right now, Sadie, at passionconferences.com. Yep. If people want to check it out, and man, I cannot wait for New Year's Day, New Year's Eve, it is going to be incredible. It's Eve, it is gonna be incredible. It's gonna be amazing. You're so right. Yet we are so excited to be partnering with y'all. Y'all, I'll tell you everyone out there,
Starting point is 00:26:31 there is nowhere else I would rather be than spending it together as a church family with passion. And if you've never been to church in your life, this is a great place to tune in because I'm telling you, there's gonna be some powerful things that happen. We believe that because we've always said this that God is not confined to our walls. Whether that's our church walls,
Starting point is 00:26:52 whether that's the walls of the Mercedes-Benz stadium. God's spirit lives within us. And it's wherever we are, it's wherever the body of people are. So we're gonna be united on this night, even if we're in our own homes, either for in small gatherings, however this pans out or however this looks, it is going to be a powerful moment that you do not want to miss. And so go to
Starting point is 00:27:12 passion.com. You can look at any of our instruments. I'm sure after this, it will be shouted out because we are so excited to just get to put good news out there. And of course, the good news is obviously the gospel. Yes, it's good news. We're doing passion. Yes, it's good news that we're all going to be, you know, together and spirit, but it's the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that is what we can't wait to end this year talking about. So, Louis, I'm pumped. Let the praise go up as the walls come down. I'm so excited. And I cannot wait to see what happens. Same here, Sadie. We're pumped to have you guys walking with us on the journey. And again, I'm, I just see what happens. Same here, Sadie. We're pumped to have you guys walking
Starting point is 00:27:45 with us on the journey. And again, I just echo what Sadie is saying. You know, good news is for everybody. And you might not consider yourself a church person or a faith person. Maybe this isn't been the lane that you've been in before. But the good news that we're talking about is from a good God. And that God has a good plan for every single person. And I just want everybody to know, walking away from this. A, we love you guys. Happy anniversary, like all over the place to you guys on the one year.
Starting point is 00:28:14 And that there is good news. And thank you for opening the way, Sadie. I'm really proud of you in Christian Chilling. I love you guys so much. And we love seeing the way God's using you. Thank you. I love you guys so much and we love seeing the way God's using you. Thank you. We love you guys. We are so excited for the days to come. If you guys enjoyed this podcast, which I know you did, because Louis, you had so much good advice and we just thank you so much for your wisdom. Write it all down. Take it in. Don't just listen and
Starting point is 00:28:39 let it go out the other ear. Actually let it fall to good soil, but also send it to some friends and let them know. Passion 2021 is happening. We want all of you guys to be there. We're so so excited. Louis, thank you again so much. Thanks, Sadie. Why not everybody? Are you ready for some good and bad advice? Okay, so let's go through this. Let's do it. First of all, thank you for sending in good and bad advice
Starting point is 00:29:10 to the Willetska podcast Instagram and our Ellipsis sister app. All right, babe, does practice really make perfect? Practice makes better than no practice. Doesn't make perfect. That's true. It doesn't make perfect. You look at anything with sports and people who pursue their careers. If you don't put in the work, then you're not going
Starting point is 00:29:30 to get the outcome that you're hoping for. But it does not make perfect. I think that that is a lie, that culture and that society wants to tell us that, you know, the more you try, the harder you try to get there, then you're going to achieve. You're gonna be happy, but. True. Yeah, I'm a big, perfect, this is not a guarantee happiness. I'm a big believer in practice, not so much perfect. Because even with when we talk about me speaking, people probably think I just walk up there and I prepare to message, but man, I have prepared that and I practice that. I go over it so many times.
Starting point is 00:30:01 But then I always say, okay, Lord, like, I give this to you because I don't want it to be perfect. Like, I don't want to go there and like cookie cutter. I want like your spirit to lead me. So I don't even think perfect is like what you want all the time. Yeah. Yeah. All right. The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times. That's really good. This is actually really funny. I was just reading Proverbs over there. It was the verse where Solomon I was just reading Proverbs over there. It was the verse where Solomon says, the Reich just falls seven times and get back up.
Starting point is 00:30:30 But pity a man, something like that happened. But it was like, but the core is like, you know, the Reich just falls seven times and we're going to have days where we stumble more than others. But getting back up is key. And you have to have that willpower. Yeah, that's good. I did start that really strong. I know I was like I forgot the back into that verse. We always were going so strong. It's something
Starting point is 00:30:52 But that was great. I love that advice at first. I didn't really understand it But now I really like it because it's even biblical. All right, when you can't find the sunshine be the sunshine I love that sounds like a Mary Poppins kind of. I think of Emma Jenkins, my good friend's Emma Jenkins. She is the sunshine on a rainy day. You know, like we are called to be a lot of the world. So yes, we should be the sunshine when we can't find it. You are my sunshine.
Starting point is 00:31:19 You make me happy. I wanted to start seeing with you, but you were so off because you can't match You can't match this falsetto, baby That wasn't even falsetto. Yes, it's off That was one hundred percent falsetto. Oh, it's funny. Okay Move one small stone in the time soon you will find that you've moved a mountain Hey, it's good. Yeah, I didn't hear you kind of stumbled the beginning of that move one small stone at a time Soon you will find that you moved a mountain. I don't know that this is true
Starting point is 00:31:57 But I heard this one time that like when Jesus said if he had faith to move a mountain If you said to this mountain like move then then it would fall into the heart of sea. At that time, people actually would work to actually move mountains. They would put in the work to move a stone at a time to move a mountain. And so Jesus was saying, if you have faith, if you want that to happen,
Starting point is 00:32:19 like, yes, it can happen. The discipline of that, put in the work, it can happen. It's kind of where we're talking about with Louis. Louis is like, yeah, I didn't start Like the discipline of that, put in the working, it can happen. It's kind of where we're talking about with Louie. Louie's like, yeah, I didn't start at the Mercedes-Benz stadium, but it was like that one at a faith every day. And all of a sudden, I looked at the mountain in front of me and I said, move.
Starting point is 00:32:35 So it's literally exactly what Louie just talked about. But we should end it there, because that was just a present wrap on the whole episode. Whoa, that's good. Also, we have some new, whoa, that's good merch coming out. And it is legit sweatshirts. We have hats coming soon. And we even have a candle that says, whoa, that smells good.
