And a great way to offer somebody help and to be of service to people is
is to stop thinking about yourself and to really focus in on somebody else's issues and to really sit and analyze and be an ear and pray and say, God, do you have something that I can tell this person? Is there anything that I can say to try and help this person get out of whatever hole that they're in?

And then you watch God speak to you and God can literally use you to speak through you to a person and you give somebody life by actually sitting. the issues of life with people. And you just give someone a little, yeah, you're good. Don't even worry about it. You're fine. Instead of really sitting and being like, what can I give to this situation? What can I give to this person?

But in the church, in Christianity, in faith, like being a leader is characterized by your heart that's willing to serve people. Yeah, yeah. A true leader in the Christian faith is not the person who demands and commands and sets the tone and sets rules. It's literally the person who is serving with sacrificial love. Yes. That is building other people up. It's the person who chooses to go last.

Yeah. The person who chooses to go last. The person... It's like when... whatever, I don't know, military terms, but when somebody is at war and the captain or the leader, whatever, they're not supposed to just hang back.

It's having a heart that meets the needs of others. And that's just what it's about. That's what He's asking of us. And that's what Ari and I are here to tell you today is have a heart that desires to meet the needs of others. And it's not the easiest thing in the world.

I know the one thing that I pray for every day of my life is Jesus, give me the awareness and the ability, the maturity and the strength to go out and not be so focused on myself and my own life that I forget that like, yes, going on a podcast is amazing, but my main point of evangelism is my mouth face to face with somebody. And my temptation is to like, I'm just trying to chill.

Like, I don't really want to. I don't really want to talk about anything. I don't really want to talk to anyone. I'm a little introverted. You know what I mean?
