Was there ever a point where you really felt intense fear? Like, wow. What did the scripture say? It says fear not. Because I am God. I am working on my plan and my purpose, his purposes. It's not to say that fear is not beneficial. There's situations where fear is very beneficial. I'm not sticking my hand in a fire as an example. I'm not doing that. But in a situation like with Starliner, during the time that

I'm manual control, during the time we're losing all those thrusters, it's detrimental. It's very

detrimental. And I've learned that. That's what the stuck in space tells the story of so many

situations throughout growing up, growing up, growing up, and growing up professionally as well,

where the Lord showed and put me in situations

where it was evident that fear, and I had some times that I was fearful, and it was a detriment

to my performance, because I have got to perform as a great responsibility that we all have in

various aspects of our life, but certainly you're sitting in the left, the commander's seat of a brand

new spacecraft, there's a great deal of responsibility and fear in the moment when my task is to maintain control so we can dock successfully. And so we, you know, maybe won't perish because again in the moment, I'm not sure, I don't know why we're losing these thrusters. They have no idea. That's not beneficial. So no, there was no fear there. It was focus, and I'd learn that. Gunner Sergeant Tibergier's Gerhardt, United States Marine Corps, my drill instructor at aviation officer

candidate school when I first got in the military, and my coaches and the Bible. These are

biblical principles of discipline, focus, determination, responsibility. All these are biblical

principles that they taught me, not necessarily from Scripture, but also in practice.

But as I read it, I see it in Scripture.

And the Lord used all of that.

So there was no fear.

There was no fear on the space station when we were there.

But easy.

We love it when you do long, cheesy, pointless, annoying introductions.

Said no one ever?

Said nobody ever.

I know you do, friends.

But today we're going to skip that.
