Oh, so I ran across this scripture. I thought it was really good. It says you will keep in perfect peace. Talk about God.

Isn't I say it? You'll keep in perfect peace. Those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.

Yes. Yeah. So those whose minds are steadfast, we are very forgetful. We are very steadfast to be like hyperfocus.

Focused and faithful. As I was reading that scripture, it was online. 74 ads popped up.

Or cruises. I don't even know why I haven't taken cruises. Just popped up after five minutes. Those whose minds are closed down.

Stop it. Pop up ads. Close that. We just live in a distracted world. It just takes a lot of effort. But why? It's really great to have a radio station like this.

Because it helps people with that. It helps to be focused. Point you back to God. The important thing, the big picture, the source of peace,

which is most people don't have peace. Look around. Just want to say thank you if you're somebody who supports a station or whatever way.

Like this is this is a very good thing we have. It's true. You don't notice this when you're a kid, but that your parents are growing and changing too.

Yeah. Yeah. Like you're not even aware of it, but they are. And you only realize it in retrospect.

I'm a lot different than I was when the kids were little. You think they notice? I don't know. It's a good question. I doubt it.

Because in their mind, it's just so sad. Yeah. He's incredible. And what's there to change? You might be a little more jacked.

You know, physically, but overall, faster, stronger or bad. But yeah.

If you're new to this Christianity thing, please know something or maybe you're on the outside kind of looking in, wondering about it.

It's not as complex as we sometimes make it. It is very deep, but it's a good deep like jumping into a beautiful ocean.

And you can go deeper as you go and you find out new things that are good. That's the, that's the wild thing.

Yes, you keep learning the rest of your life. I keep learning. I feel like it's exhilarating now, weirdly.

But like as I'm learning, it's not stuff that counteracts what I've already learned. It's just deeper and better. God's better. His goodness. He is love.

I think his trustworthiness, the fact that he's not setting me up to, to slap me in the face in the end.

I mean, that's something you just, you learn and lean into that and over time it changes who you are.
