you know, you're born with these traits and these skills and these strengths and these

weaknesses. And literally what was crossing my mind was twofold. I was like, yeah, but what does

that mean about skills you can learn, such as sales? And then, you know, even on the spiritual side,

you know, what about being transformed by the Holy Spirit? What happens to your skill set and your genealogy?

You know, how much is, you know, God-gifted talent

versus what can be changed?

I mean, actually, I think that's a great question.

And I believe that God can turn anything into anything.

So I will never doubt the transformative power of God to do, you know, whether that's like make a donkey or an ass to talk or move a mountain or take someone that's blind and allow them to see. So, but I do think we all have God-given talents. Yeah. And every good gift comes from the Father of Lights. I love that scripture. So number one, when the parable of the talents was taught by Jesus, he didn't say you have to have all the talents. Some have one, some have two, some have five. And all he wants you to do is use the talents you've been given and return more to him. He wants you to expand on them.

Expand on them.

I think you're given a seat of talent.

Yeah.

Most people don't expand on it though.

Yeah.

If you bury it, if you bury it and don't develop it, you're not living up to your

God-given potential.

Now, I don't think anyone lives up to their full God-given potential, which is why we need the grace of Christ to make up the difference.

And the grace of Christ enables us to do anything that we do in the first place.

So, but I think it's really interesting.

He does give us talents, and then we do have weaknesses.

And that makes us be humble.

And but what we really need to do to report back to him is, here's what you gave me, here's what I did with it. And here's the good I did in the world with the talents that you gave. Here's how expanded it. And most people don't do that. And I think that's in any profession, right? You have those who wing things. I call them the wingers. And this is anything in life, any career, being a parent, being a religious leader, being anybody, there's like, I always say there's four categories. There's those who wing things, like the wingers. There's those who dabble in things, the dabblers. They're just kind of average. There's those who think they know everything, the knowtallers. They typically never reached the level they could have. And then there are those who are committed to mastery. So, like, who's your favorite sports at lead anywhere in the pros? Who's your favorite sport athlete? Right now, I like Shohei and LeBron. Okay, so those two. Winger, dabbler, committed to mastery. They're committed to mastery. Okay, who's your favorite, you know, a singer or something?
