declarations or confessions of what God says about me as a person, as a leader, as a dad, as a husband, or whatever.

What are some things during the day when someone walks out of their list in this interview over lunch, they go back to the office, what are some practical things they can do to manage their mind?

Can you help me be objective about that?

For example, I preach on the weekends and I don't like watching myself preach back when it's recorded.

In my mind...

I'm brilliant and incredible.

And then I watch it back going, I'm not that good.

And so I think the same thing would be true in my leadership that I think I'm coming across a certain way, but in reality, I'm not.

I think that in my mind, I'm warm and friendly.

And other times people will say, you're actually short and you're rushed.

And so how do I look on objectively and see myself not just as I think I am, but as I am so that I can correct it?

Talk to me about objectivity and self-awareness.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I want to hear your trick, but I'm about to explode with excitement about a thought that you just gave me.

So give me the trick.

I want to hear the trick and then I want to rant for just a minute because I don't want people to miss the brilliance of what you just said.

So, okay, so you're aware and now what's your advice, your trick?

I want to take a step back and I want to talk to our audience because this is super, super important.
