We get so discombobulated because there's all this love and there's all this ambition to be like Jesus and love of Jesus.

And then my daddy became a minister for a while, but he would periodically like beat us while he's preparing for his sermons and stuff.

And it was just a total moral confusion in the house.

Total moral confusion.

Let me go on.

No, I know it gets a lot worse.

Okay, so listen, all I'm saying is I'm getting you ready.

But more importantly, what most people don't have is they don't have a minister for a father.

Here's what I mean by moral confusion, what most people don't have.

Certainly none of the kids and friends that I had growing up.

When one day I get beat up by these bullies at school, I come home.

My glasses are broken right here.

My sweater's all been torn up and everything.

Three guys just beat the hell out of me, right?

I come home and my dad is at the kitchen table with about five commentaries open because he has to give a sermon on Sunday.

He's studying the scriptures.

He's doing his hermeneutics.

He's finding out what's going on at that time in the Bible, at that particular time politically, geographically, like everything.

He wants to know that passage so he can preach it to you.

His boy comes in, broken glasses, torn up story.
