I run into a lot of people who are into manifestation and meditation and Christ consciousness and all of this kind of esoteric, very vague, I want the things I like about religion, but I don't actually wanna be held accountable to anyone or anything. I'm finding that more and more, and that's also empty.

And so I think you're 100% right in that we live in a particular age where the clarity that's going to be spoken into the confusion, I think, is the truth of the gospel message and Christianity. Because ultimately, in what you were saying before, when you're looking at this meta-analysis in terms of, okay, well, where are the leaks?

Where are the problems that we're seeing in terms of why, say, something like Islam is outgrowing us? Well, I think if you look at the Christian worldview, it...

It's different than religions like Islam in that Islam spread largely by occupation where Christianity was a grassroots movement because it looked at Jesus, the crucified Messiah, the Lord of eternity, who stepped out of his throne into humanity in the second person of the Trinity in Jesus, and then died the death that we deserve.

And then said that your goal is to stand before the father and hear good and faith, well done, good and faithful servant. Faithful. Not influential, not world shifting, not everybody wants to have a presence online. No, you just need to be faithful and you need to be a servant in that faithfulness. And God is going to do great things with that.

God's gonna produce the Martin Luthers and the Billy Grahams and these individuals who change the world fundamentally through faithfulness, not through occupation. not through militaristic movements, but if we're faithful to the gospel message, that's really going to... You think Billy Graham was faithful? Oh, Billy Graham is definitely faithful. Yeah, yeah.

When we see these people, and I mean, I have slight disagreements with some of the things that Billy Graham believed, but ultimately you see a testimony of someone. Like what? I mean... Specifics? Is it like... No, it's very minor theological issues, I think.

I mean, I think later in his life, he became a lot more soft to things like universalism and where he kind of was more open to people not confessing Jesus Christ, but there being an aspect of they could be saved. And I ultimately, I don't think that's compatible with biblical Christianity. But I mean, talk about a guy who was... faithful in his Christian witness, in his proclamation, was zealous.

And I think, you know, just because I'm saying you need to be a faithful servant doesn't mean you don't need to be bold. I mean, Paul was bold. Paul was, his life was threatened. He was beaten. He was shipwrecked. He ultimately died for his profession of faith. So we don't need to be wallflowers. We need to be bold.
