Eric Thomas

You deserve to receive, man.

I want to acknowledge you, Eric, for being in this season of life.

Because I've known you for 10 years, but...

You put so much focus on giving in a big way, which is a beautiful blessing.

But I think you can also give and receive at the same time.

It doesn't have to be mutually one way.

Just give, give, give, give, and like exhaust yourself to like serve, serve, serve, serve, and then you can give nothing back to self.

So I really acknowledge you for being in a season of like, how can I give and receive?

How can I deepen these relationships with people who...

Because I know people try to pour into you.

Absolutely.

But you're always too busy, or you're trying to give, give, give, or you're traveling nonstop.

I got to help save the kids and teenagers.

Oh, Christ.

And so I acknowledge it for acknowledging this season of life for you and saying it's time to like.

And I can even see it in your face and your chest, even just energetically when I saw you today.

I was like, man, you look healthy, healthier.

And I think it's because you're allowing yourself to receive.

No question.

And so it's really beautiful, man.
