I was trying on my bulletproof vest as I was about to enter into a Washington, D.C. public library.

And I saw a woman outside the van that I was in.

I think it was a woman. She was very large, and she had a bullhorn,

and she was screaming obscenities at me and a couple of the other authors

that were going to read children's books about faith, hope, and love.

Welcome everybody to the American Camp Fire Revival.

For the next 100 days leading up to the election, many of you know I've moved to Tennessee

from California, not because

we're abandoning California. I think pound for pound, California is one of the most beautiful

states that has the most to offer. From snow peak mountains to white caps on the Pacific

ocean, you can go snow skiing and surfing in the same day where I used to live.

And we have the Redwood forests and Yosemite and it's absolutely beautiful.

But I'm here in Tennessee now and I couldn't be happier.

We have children who live here, family and friends, and the community of faith is just,

it's gas in my tank, it's wind in my sails,

and it helps me to be more influential when I travel back to California and New York and all over.

Well, we're going to gather, God willing, every couple of days for the next 100 days leading up to the election so that we can be reminded

about who we are and whose we are and why we should always have hope and hearts filled with

gratitude no matter how crazy things look out there in the culture i believe that we've been given a birthright of courage.

And this isn't just something we muster up.

It's because of the God who has saved us

and the God that has been on the move for 2,000 years in earnest
