But knowing that, man, God sees and hears and He is so personal in those moments.

You know, like I think about,

C.S.

Lewis in The Problem of Pain, he says, I'm probably gonna butcher this, but the gist of this is, in our pleasures, God whispers, in our conscience, he speaks, but in our pain, he shouts.

It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

so in your pain in your trauma in your suffering god is more evident even shouting and i mean i've experienced that recently way beyond the death of my brother you know our mom now has been battling stage four metastatic cancer and facing

death of a parent, loss.

How do I model that for my own children?

But man, the beauty of it is that our weakness, our pain, our tears is never wasted.

And it doesn't make sense, but maybe stopping and listening and just being raw and honest

before God, knowing He can handle it.

He can handle it, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it definitely does.

Cause creativity is not just like what I did in the band.

Like I've seen that as I've gotten older in my career and, you know, creating businesses and working in the nonprofit space, it just takes different forms, right?

And when I lost that,

The timing was just perfect.

We ended up like breaking up soon after that.

It wasn't because of what happened to my brother and I, but I mean, that certainly was a contributing factor.

We were tired and ready to be home and figure out what was after that.
