We all have our characteristic temptations or the stories that we tell ourselves as to why we're not yet flourishing.

But the fact of the matter is that this is our real life.

This is the hand that we've been dealt and that we have the wherewithal to play it well, provided that we ask God for said wherewithal.

And that's just wild.

It's just

Yeah, I don't know if this is more preachy than your show ordinarily is, but I kind of can't help myself.

Yeah.
