Oh boy, that's such a good question. You know what?

I love you in the midst of you not having the faith that I wish you had and trust in me. And it was just so cool. I mean, I remember I just came home and I got to say that experience of him loving me in my lack of faith, that experience, that whole thing about Iraq, I thought about it every day for a few years.

It was just so impactful that God would love me even if I wasn't a spiritual giant, even if I didn't have faith and trust in him. He was going to still love me and be faithful. You know, that Hebrew word hesed in the Old Testament, it's a word for loving kindness. It's translated or it's faithful love. It's covenant love. And he proved himself to me that way. So, oh, man. Yeah.

Yeah, such a such a good question, Brandon. So the basically the background that of that question is. the whole idea of being sadder over a lost game than a lost soul, the background of it is that I'm a huge football fan. I love college, but especially pro football.

And I was blessed to do maybe four or five chapels for the Atlanta Falcons football team when they came to Michigan to play the Detroit Lions. Nice. Yeah, it was just fantastic. It was so great. And and so because of that, I got to know some players and actually they would always give us free tickets.

They would the night before the game when I did the chapel, they'd invite us to eat with the players. And so I would take one son each time. And so, you know, it was just so cool for for me and for our sons to meet these, you know, larger than life pro football players on TV. And so it came about that there was a game in January of 2013, and the Falcons could win it.

as time was running out, if they made the field goal. And so I just found myself, I still remember it in our living room. I was on my knees praying as the kicker approached the ball, as he was getting ready to try to attempt the field goal. I'm on my knees praying for him and for the team. And I told a gentleman in our organization, our missions agency, I told him about this.
