Mark, you've gone through tough times

and encouragement from the Lord.

Just talk about encouragement.

Yeah, I mean, there was a season where I was,

I think all of us, we get despairing of life

and though we may not get suicidal,

we just wouldn't mind if the Lord just took us home.

That we quickly eliminate everything off of our bucket list

because the priorities begin to change.

And I remember I was going through such a dark time

and I had a friend.

We have a friend, Richard Brennan, a sweet brother

who came up to me and I was at our old church.

I had this railing, you know, really despairing of life.

And I had sought a lot of counsel

from a lot of different people.

And him not really knowing I was going through

or how to minister to me, he just simply said,

God knows.

What is more exciting than driving through the streets

of India with Ray Comfort as he grasped the seat

he was sitting on white knuckled?
