So like that just fuels me.

Now, take someone else who doesn't believe there's a God.

There's no eternity.

There's all this is.

There's a level of nihilism there.

God, I'm depressed now thinking about it.

So when people especially are outside of the Judeo-Christian worldview, there is a lack of purpose and identity there, or if somebody is non-religious, and we are living—I mean, the United States specifically is far less—

religious and spiritual, and even the Eastern spirituality that people talk about today.

Like, here's what meditation is in Eastern world religion.

Empty yourself, you know, just think of nothing.

Like, that's the whole thing.

No, the Judeo-Christian view is, no, fill yourself with the Spirit of God.

Meditate and chew on what is love, what is kindness, how can I—like, you're actually filling yourself with something.

I mean, the Buddha did that, so that's part of where it's coming from.

Yeah, like on the flight here, I was reading the book of Joshua, you know, and very early on— That's easy reading for the plane.

Well, yeah, I mean, I like to read my Bible.

So I was reading, and I was reading, and basically God is telling Joshua, like, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged.

And one of the things he tells him is, he said, meditate on my word day and night.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.

He's telling you, I want you to meditate.
