Summary
Bob Goff has spent decades trying to convince people God is over the moon about them. If you struggle to believe God loves you and if you long to live a life of adventure, Bob's story will inspire you. Bob is known as the guy who included his phone number in the back of his first book, Love Does, because he loves people and wanted to be available. Since then, he's written multiple New York Times bestselling books and included his number in every one of them. Bob says his greatest ambition is to love people and inspire others to follow Jesus into a life of adventure, whimsy, and wonder. In this episode, Bob talks about starting a zoo, getting gored by a cow, shot with a pellet gun, and visiting the Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. His new book is Catching Whimsy. It's an invitation to wake up each day expecting to live a more meaningful life, a more engaged faith, and a more intentional future.

| 0:38.9 | unfolding, happy new year. Page 225 of the unfolding is the story of Bob Goff. It's easy to love your |
| 0:47.0 | enemies until you have an enemy. But when you feel somebody has betrayed you, that's when it gets |
| 0:52.3 | real. And that's when I feel like heaven is leaning |
| 0:55.3 | over the rails. Matthew 819, it says all of creation is up on their tiptoes, just waiting to |
| 1:02.6 | see what the sons and daughters do next. If we started seeing our lives and our faith as |
| 1:08.6 | like dazzling the angels, they would make a huge difference in the way |
| 1:12.0 | that you approach yourself. |
| 1:14.0 | God's story has been unfolding. |
