Because the nurses had him, and he's all slimy and cold-headed and got the little bonnet hanging off his head. And I'm freaked out. So she was in the middle of a CrossFit workout when her water broke. And we went home. We had just bought our first house, been married for about two years. She was like, I'm going to do my makeup and then we'll go to the hospital. Your water broke. I'm freaking out.

I thought I needed to have... But we get there and her water broke, but she wasn't dilated enough. And then almost 24 hours later, he's born. So I'm like crackhead by that point. And he's born and I'm emotional and hungry and tired and all the things. And the nurse has him And he's looking, you know, all alien-like. And she's like, do you want to touch him? Do you want to see him?

And I walk over him like, you know. And as I'm reaching in his direction, his little hand reaches up and grabs my finger. And I started weeping. And not audibly, but in my spirit, I heard God say, I love you more than that. And I said, man, I don't deserve that. I don't deserve to be a dad. I don't know how to be a dad. I'm scared. I don't know how to do it right. I've never seen it done.

I'm a screw up. I started just thinking all these things. I was thinking, man, I was 30, 33 at that time. And I was like, man, my dad was 16. And I think like that moment, it was the beginning of me feeling some empathy for him. And some time passed and God started opening up some cool opportunities.

I was on staff at Life Church for a while as an associate pastor and then took a teaching position in Iowa. And then kind of thing after thing started happening. I did Tucker and Candace Owens and a few other things and started getting a lot of momentum, a lot of opportunities. And God was just moving.

And kind of in the middle of that, I was in Dallas, actually, before we lived there, and I was staying at the Omni, and I'd woken up around like 2 a.m., and it's often, not super often, but often that God will wake me up, and I felt prompted to pray in the middle of the night. And I was lazy. So I was just like, I'm just going to lay here. And I began to think, like, hey, what am I doing?

And I just felt like super distracted. And then I started to think, it's almost like the Holy Spirit kind of brought to the forefoot of my mind, like, do you fear me? Do you revere me? The fear of the Lord rightly understood is reverence, not human fear. Do you revere me as Lord? Get on my face and begin to pray.

And then I started to see, almost like if you would go through a flip book, my dad, I don't know, The way that I would look out that glass, like looking for my dad, is my dad as a kid looking for me. And how it just got harder over time. And While I was feeling empathy, I was also feeling this bubble of rage at the same time. These two conflicting emotions, and I was just like, man.

I've screamed into my pillow before, especially the day that we found out we were pregnant for the first time, someone hacked my wife's Facebook and sent every single person, family, friends, grandma, my pornography. It's like we announced we're pregnant. Five minutes later. Damn. So moments like that, I was like, I don't know why.

Obviously, I'm like, man, I'd love to grab that IP address and go carb kick that person. But also, something in me, it was almost like the first thing I would think was like, man, Dad, if you would have been there, this stuff wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't be experiencing that. It's your fault. And it would go from like, it's your fault, to like, Dad, it's your fault.

Why couldn't you just be there? You were down the street. Like, why do you hate me? And then just my heart broke, and I'm just like, I have to forgive him. I don't know what that looks like, but I have to figure out a way. And then I tell my wife, my wife be my wife. She like messages.

He's got, you know, I have a half brother and sister that I don't know very well, but she reaches out to Justin and then she gets his number. And then I end up with his number. And she was like, you know, very quickly, she's like, here you go. Do what you need to do. I called him, and we had that phone call.

And it was like, man, when I had that conversation with him, it didn't go exactly like I thought it would, but a million pounds came off of me. But what's really wild is in between that dream and that phone call, the weekend I had with Victor Marks was nuts. So we know Victor and it was, I think maybe it was like the third or fourth time I'd hung out with him.

And we were filming a spiritual warfare documentary. And he had interviewed me for that. And he's got this prayer, this retooling prayer where you identify, like, is there any demonic oppression on you? He calls them out. We did it on here. Yeah? Yeah. But he did that with me, and I was just like, you know, I would say I'm like,

You know, I'm, like, Baptist in my theology and Pentecostal in my expression. But, like, the demonic, you know, like, wasn't super familiar with, you know. Definitely experienced a lot of evil, but regarding stuff like that, not, you know, not super in tune with.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

Yeah, and affirmation.

Yeah, I mean, I would say.
