0:00.0	Talk to me about what you think is driving this religious revival among young people at the moment.
0:05.4	Okay. Well, I think what's driving it is the spirit of God himself. I think that, you know,
0:13.5	we are in such an interesting time in history right now where it is basically what seems like
0:18.6	the generation of the internet and AI and social media.
0:23.4	And at the same time, you literally have God, you have Jesus,
0:27.7	infiltrating the entire earth with his spirit and like reviving people's hearts towards spirituality.
0:35.2	And that's why I feel like you see a rise in all of spirituality at the moment.
0:40.5	And it is like the Holy Spirit coming and stirring everybody's hearts. And right now,
0:46.8	specifically in Southern California and in so many different parts in the UK, so many different

0:55.8	pour out his spirit in a way that we haven't seen it in a long time. What do you think is missing

1:29.8	wait a minute, okay. And so I know that's our story. We were always so lost and empty and we tried
1:37.6	everything. And then that's when we found Jesus and he filled that void that was always missing.
1:46.7	What's the story of how you two met? What's the arc of how you ended up getting here? Oh, this is my favorite story. My life was just in shambles. I was
1:56.5	severely depressed. I was just, I was like on my way out. That's how depressed I was. My mind completely
2:03.2	broke. I spent my whole life trying to fill the void and other things. And I always came up feeling
2:09.5	very empty and alone and lost. I come from darkness. I come from the world. And I hit a wall. And I was just on my way out. I met Jesus in a little Catholic church
