I was thinking about last week and, you know, the perennial group of questions that kind of

orbit around, really?

Like, how much of this, like, how often do I need to pray?

Do I need to pray those specific prayers?

You know, what's with all the rigor in this?

And then Cody's question last week.

And I was, you know, I was reflecting on Alan,

this frustrating process I'm in right now of when you travel,

it's really hard to keep your workout routine going.

Right?

Yeah.

But here's the really frustrating thing.

The day you stop working out, you begin losing everything you gained.

But it, yeah, anyway, I was just thinking about last week conversation and human nature.

We just want an easier way.

And then Dallas's line about, we just haven't told people enough about the cost of non-discipleship.

It's like the cost, yeah, you can stop working out, but you're going to lose everything you gained.

Right.

And I think even we don't know, Cody, but from his question, there was such a good

heart behind it because when he says, is it really necessary?

I mean, he knows already.

Yeah.
