in the locker room, all the things because he changed his birth certificate. So there's still a ton of work to be done on this issue in particular. And of course, that goes across all of the cultural chaos that has plagued this nation.

Well, it's amazing because I've always been a Christian. We were one of those families that grew up in the Bible Belt where it was church every Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night. And me and my siblings, we were the youngest one in the congregation by about 80 years. Okay, so like...

The amount of like little visitor cards that me and my siblings played tic-tac-toe, hangman, anything we possibly could to distract us from like our pastor who was heel clicking on the stage is definitely ungodly. All that to say, I had the foundation, but I didn't get to really learn and experience and feel for myself until I was negatively impacted by this movement. I thought I knew the Lord.

I really did. I trusted him. I obeyed him. I spent time in scripture, but I had no idea because I hadn't been tested in the way that I was then. And how can you have a testimony if you've never been tested? And so... I never, again, as Charlie alluded to, like this is just never where I saw myself. I was in dental school after college. That's what I prepared for.

I was set to specialize in endodontics, which is root canals, weirdly enough. I scored the highest percentile of the DAT, which is the dental admissions test. I could have gone anywhere in the country that I wanted to go, receiving tens of thousands of dollars in scholarship funds. That's what I was set to do. That's what I prepared for.

I was so, so wrong in assuming that God calls those who are already prepared. I didn't take a government course before I stepped into this. I knew nothing about our government. I knew we had three branches. Didn't know what they did. I still don't really know what they do. I don't even think they know what they do, to be honest with you.

My public speaking courses in college, I mean, my face would turn the color of a tomato. I was never prepared for this. but I realized pretty quickly that God doesn't call those who are prepared. He prepares those who he calls. And if he brings you to something, he'll certainly bring you through it.
