And he literally said, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Wow. Yeah, yeah. And so he's an older man that I have such giant respect for. In fact, this guy has helped start three different missions agencies. And he has recruited – literally hundreds of people to go to the mission field. And so I said, what's the deal, man? Why are you rebuking me like this?

And he said, you know, I am a big Philadelphia Eagles football fan. And one time they lost a game. And I just felt like that, you know, I was real despondent about it. And I just sensed the Lord was saying to me, you are sadder over a lost game than a lost soul.

And he said he vowed that he would never again allow himself to be sad like that after a game for more than five minutes after a loss by the Eagles.

Nice.

Nice.

Yeah, and so those words, they just hit home for me. And so that's where the title of the chapter comes. came from. And to answer your question, you know, how much do we as Christians really care about lost people?

Yeah, and so those words, they just hit home for me. And so that's where the title of the chapter comes. came from. And to answer your question, you know, how much do we as Christians really care about lost people?

Man, I mean, I just want to be so careful in my answer because, number one, I don't want to be prideful and act like, you know, I'm better than others because God has given me a real passion for lost people. But in general, I would say that

So much of the church that I see in the U.S., I mean, it's not like I'm an expert on the church capital C in the West or in the U.S., but what I see a lot of is that people want to kind of use Christianity to just have a better life.

And as the book title says, Your Best Life Now, you know, huge bestseller, gigantic. Well, who doesn't want to have their best life now, except that Jesus said, if you want to follow me, you need to deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow me. And so a cross isn't isn't, you know, in the normal sense of the term, your best life. It's your worst life.

I think, you know, I love how you say about your podcast that it's Reformed. And that is great, and it's so important. And, you know, I'm in the same denomination as you, and so I love so much about Reformed theology.
