And I think a lot of the problems come in when people become too rich and famous.
You know, this is, Jesus said in the scriptures, it's harder for a rich man to enter heaven than going through the camel through the eye of a needle.
What does he mean by that?
The problem I've experienced in my firsthand interaction with wealthy people is, not all, but many.
Most, I would say.
You get to a point where you feel like I'm so in control, I don't need anybody else.
including God.
Like I'm covering all my bases, I'm good.
And you kind of get deluded into thinking that you're the master of your own destiny, including heaven.
That's a very dangerous place to be because that's pride.
And that's probably the one thing that will block you from getting into heaven is if you think you're gonna go toe to toe with Jesus on getting in.
You die at the end of life, you leave it all behind.
Nothing goes with you.
So my big messages to people, it's funny because John Rich, the country music guy, he just did a very long episode with Tucker where he talked about the book of Revelation and he wrote a song about it to wake people up because we're literally blind in these times to what's important.
He says, you don't know when the end of your life is going to come, but you better be ready.
And by ready, I mean prepared for heaven.
So when I see people in hospice and they're dying and they know they're dying, I can tell within 10 seconds if this person is prepared their life to meet Jesus or if they squandered it away because they're either at radical peace and not fearing it or they're terrified and they don't know what to do.
If I could impose one point of this whole interview today to the people listening is, to embrace death because you're going to die, maybe the first to let you know, you're going to die.
I don't know if anybody's ever said that to you.
You're going to die.
