It's okay. I think so many people are in this point in their own faith journey. I have so many friends this way. I was raised going to church, and then I spent probably, I don't know, a couple of decades just sort of like inside myself doubting God exists.

And I remember I was in graduate school in New York City and around so many people that don't have faith at all or think that if you do believe in God, you're just not that smart. And I was around that all the time and also around a lot of different faiths.

And I started to sort of question, hmm, like, you know, and I remember going through God doubt and I went to, this is years later, I went to my first ever therapist about something completely different and was telling her I doubt God exists and I'm doubting God exists. And she said to me, well, what makes you think he can't handle your doubt? Um, and I'm like, what do you mean?

And she's like, well, if he, and I don't even know if she believes at all, by the way, she said, if he created the entire universe, like what makes you think he can't handle your doubt? She goes, why don't you try praying and telling him, uh, you doubt he exists and to prove you wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt that he does. And I'm like, OK. And so and so this went on for a couple of years.

But like I would I would if I was praying for a friend's health or something like that, I would end the prayer and I'd be like, and by the way, God, I'm doubting you exist. So if you could please show up in my life, right, prove me wrong, be on a shadow of a doubt. I'd be so grateful in Jesus name. Amen. And I did that prayer.

Kelsey, like there is zero question in my mind, like the way God started showing up where it was literally screaming in my face. Like there's so many examples of this that have happened. And I'm just like, whoa, like the person that finally gave us a shot on QVC after years of my business struggling and us getting no's. Later, I thanked her. I was like, you loved our product. Thank you.

And this was years later. This was after we had become their biggest brand. And she says she was a show host there for 17 years. And she says, no, no, no. I gave you a shot because God told me go up and help that girl. Like it was just like one thing after another after, and it was just like, whoa.

So that, so for anyone listening right now, no matter where you are in your journey, like that for me was something, um, that was really powerful to do is just to like, call it like you see it. Like God, I am doubting you exist. So can you please show up, like prove me wrong, but beyond a shadow of a doubt, because I don't want like a hint, like just like beyond a shadow of a doubt.
