My first question is, what do I do to a young man or woman that's, they're like, no, that seems...

when i heard this the first time when somebody's like dude you don't understand it has nothing to do with your work i was like that's lazy that's untitled like that's disgusting he did all this for me and you want me to what kick my feet up and just relax and and and then uh uh sin willy-nilly whenever i want until somebody looked me in my face and says you think you don't sin

willy-nilly whenever you want and then when i thought that i was like oh like we do sin but it's our our perspective of judgment of what our sin is to our eyes so how do i unpack this to somebody that's trying to get away from working under the law versus having a relationship and having the fruit grow within them well sometimes it depends on how deeply entrenched they are in the law as to how long it takes to get them free from it but if

I was sitting with my mom, and I was trying to describe this, and my mom was bringing me up the verse where it says, faith without works is dead.

Right.

And the best way I tried to describe this with her, I asked her to walk in our backyard, and I had her grab fruit from the tree.

And I says, let's picture Jesus as the vine, like he says.

if how can I produce fruit without this?

If attached from him, I'm nothing, then how can I then produce it?

I think this is where we kind of get in this hole.

And I had to be honest with myself.

I think that's where it stems from.

And my mom was trying to teach me like, okay, what about where we're from, our culture, our ethnicity, or all these things.

And I had to have this hard conversation with myself.

And by the way,

my mom to me was like if you leave our church it's better for me to die before that happens like because her love with jesus is real but our view on how we go about things are a little different and i told her i said i understand what abraham felt like when he had to take his son up and it's it's the gospel is very real when it says that if you don't hate your mother or father compared to how much you love god then it's not working my mom used to tuck me into bed

telling me, I love you more than anything but God.

And she would make me say that back to her.

So when I grew up, I said, mom, you taught me this.

Like you told me to love God more.
