He might be crazy, could be, maybe he just made it all up and then his disciples were willing to die for it. Maybe he was a liar or maybe he was Lord. And so just really look at what the disciples said, look at the transformed lives, look at what God's word says, talk to him, ask him, if you're real, prove it to me.

And so I would just say, pursue Jesus, read Jesus, look at Jesus and base your decision on what you can discover about Jesus. And then look at others if you want to. But I think if you look objectively and honestly, you're going to see that who makes up a God that becomes flesh? Born of a virgin... And then is born in poverty and serves and loves the sinners and the broken.

And you can't make up something that beautiful, that powerful, that life transformative. And look at your testimony. Look at you. You're dead and you're alive. You're lost and you're found. You're in bondage and you're free.

And you see the 700 prophecies, 700 prophecies. He'd been born of a virgin. He would suffer. You look at the Passover in the Old Testament, the temporary, you take a lamb and you shed its blood and you put some on the top of a doorpost and some blood on the sides and then death passes over you. You look at that, what happens when you put blood on the top of a door? It falls to the bottom.

You look in, I think it's Exodus 12, and what do you see? You see on the door, you see the cross in the Old Testament. You see it right there in the Old Testament. foreshadowing Jesus. You see Jesus all over the Old Testament and everything points toward him. The gospel is the good news. It's the best news. It changes lives. And then you doubt sometimes and you don't understand.

And so you go back to that. You go to Jesus and you hang on to him, who he is. And that's the thing I go to all the time is the moment when I knelt down alone in a softball field and called on his name. It was one person when I knelt down, and I was a new person when I stood up. And that I hold on to when I don't understand.

You've got a crazy story.

I don't know anybody like you.

So there's so much I want to say to it because I've been there. Like my honeymoon stage as a new Christian, I mean, I was... out of control, witnessing, crying out to God, praying for everybody, sensing His presence, feeling it. I got saved out of what was like kind of the church I went to was like a no expression into a very charismatic, vibrant, God's everywhere.

And it's a little bit like with Amy, you know, we were madly in love. We didn't have a fight for three years when we were married until we had our first kid, and then we made up for lost time because I was dumb. But then now we're 33, almost 34 years into it, and...
