as long as I am in your will, as long as I am providing five loaves and two fish that you deem acceptable, the transaction's over. No longer will I seek the feeding. I'm not going to be the boy who provides the five loaves and two fish, sees it multiplied, goes home to his parents and says, look, mom and dad, I fed 5,000 people today. That would be ludicrous.

So I'm not only not responsible for the failure, I mean, in a manner of speaking, of course I made some mistakes. Of course the movie wasn't good enough to achieve its correct box office. That's exactly what Job says. Yes. But now my focus is going to be on just the transaction, for lack of a better term, between myself and God.

You didn't say that. I'm saying... That's not how I'm going to measure ultimate success here. So what's interesting is I would conclude, and I think I concluded it in that moment, and I certainly conclude it now.

In fact, hundreds of millions of people around the world believe the conclusion I'm about to tell you, which is the resurrection of Gavin Stone, that movie was in a sense almost sacrificed at the altar of my own. The measurement of the success wasn't Gavin Stone's financial results, because those never went, those never improved. It maintained its failure. So then what's the success?

Well, it's not necessarily that Nitschke's book ended up, even though it only sold 200 copies, ended up still having impact. The Resurrection of Gavin Stone, that movie is not, in 50 years, people aren't going to say, even though it only did $2.3 million, it inspired people. Millions of people. That movie is the, again, I don't know if I have a better term for it, kind of sacrifice. Yeah.

Because the story that God is telling in this moment is, at the risk of sounding arrogant, my story. it's ultimately, again, skipping ahead for a moment, the chosen became the thing that was the outcome.

I actually wrote about it on Facebook a few days later. I did this long post where I just said, okay, I'm not going to pretend that I can convince you to go see this movie now. I've surrendered it. Here's what's happened. It failed. Period. End of sentence. Now what? Why do I feel—I actually use the word free—why do I feel more freedom right now than at any other time in my life.
