I don't know if we think about this enough.

Jesus saying this thing, maybe you've heard this,

but he said that people would know we are his followers

by our love for each other.

That they would, that's what they would see.

That's the identifying quality or characteristic.

Yeah, not my bumper sticker, not my reference in music.

And that love apparently must be seable, like from the outside that people look at believers

and how they treat each other.

I go, oh, okay, they're one of those Jesus. That's why they're being this patient with each other. With each other. And I think it would be specifically identifiable if we knew you should actually be at odds. Whatever you, however you are, whatever you are, you would think that it wouldn't be there, but it is. Yeah. So you see, you say something on social media, I disagree with, and we go back and forth. And then people are seeing that and they're seeing us love each other. Yeah. So you say something on social media, I disagree with, and we go back and forth.

And then people are seeing that and they're seeing us love each other and respect

each other and defer to each other.

Yeah.

Then they would go, okay, that, this Jesus thing must be real.

Hey, so just so, you know, listening to the show and the radio today, we're here, hopefully,

to be a spiritual encouragement to you, it's not just one more entertainment option.

That wouldn't be enough to get us through the day, honestly.

There are plenty of entertainment options.

And we do hope it's interesting and entertaining, but this is the place

where you come to be pointed towards actual hope. That is not all over the place. Entertainment
