Wellness culture has its own creeds. You are enough, listen to your truth, prioritize yourself.

Do you hear how anti-gospel that is? Prioritize yourself. It has its own liturgies with fitness

apps and morning routines and spa rituals where it's like if you got it, you know, you want to be

equal and balance with yourself,

hey everyone, here's my morning routine.

If I don't get this, I'm just not going to be a good wife or mother.

It's like that, your morning routine is a worship of self.

It's a liturgy.

It has its own priests and prophets with influencers and gurus and celebrities,

with their own companies, with their own things to purchase.

It has its own salvation.

The promise that if you stay youthful, somehow you will find peace, you'll live forever,

you'll be at one with yourself, whatever the case.

And so this language, again, there's nothing wrong with taking care of your body per se.

But when that becomes your salvific story, when that consumes you and replaces your worship of the

Lord, that is when a good thing becomes an ultimate thing.

Once upon a time, frowns, I thought I knew what misery was, but my understanding of misery has been recalibrated after traveling with Ken Ham and Lalo Gunther.

Those guys are miserable guys. You know what? No caveats. It was because who they were traveling with.

That's what it was.

All right.

That's all I wanted to say, friends.

Oh, man, seriously, it's one of those things where, yeah, you just love the person so much.
