It could be going through a divorce, losing a loved one, workplace issues. But most people have some level of emotional turmoil. And for a lot of people, they may have gone years without somebody saying something truly nice and meaningful to them that's uplifting. Like when I had Mrs. Williams tell me and she said, Josh, you could be a great writer.

Like for me, I don't think I'd somebody say something like that to me in months. And so for some people, they've never had anyone say that to them. So I really, one thing, I lead a men's group now. And one of the things I'll do every year in the men's group is I'll put my hand on the guy's shoulders, individuals. And I do this because my grandfather did this to me.

And I'll look them in the eyes and I'll say, God has gifted you to do this. I believe you have this calling. You have this gifting. You can have this impact and help cast a vision for them in their life and speak life into them in terms of what I see their giftings are, their character are. their character is as well.

And so I would encourage everybody who's listening here is to you be that person to somebody else. Put your hand on their shoulder, look them in the eyes and tell them what in them, the goodness in them, the impact they can have. challenge them to grow because it might just save someone's life. It could transform someone's life, help set them on a new trajectory.

And those I can think through a few times, not just miss Williams. I can think of my grandfather doing that to me. I can think about a mentor, a Ben who was a doctor who did that to me in my life. And a friend of mine, Jordan Rubin, it, those are, were the, somebody doing that for me was the, those created the single biggest turning points in my entire life.

Well, I think you're spot on. I think you're exactly right. And I think there are two ways to do this, but number one is what you just shared. And that is, just show up somewhere at a church, at a synagogue, at the local soup kitchen, but just start showing up and saying, you know what?

I'm going to devote one hour a week, two hours a week to just doing something where I don't get anything returned. I just get to serve someone who's in need. And over time, you probably, they probably will see some gifts and skills that you have, and you'll be able to utilize those gifts and skills within that community you're serving. And so again, a place I like to do that is church.

And so it could be, and I'll give you an example. I've got a friend of mine, And what he has his daughters do is they go to church, but they also, I think once a month go and maybe more than this, they're high schoolers and they go and spend time with the four and five-year-olds, like just serving in that way. And other people go and help in the parking lot or one might lead a growth group.
