The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

I usually give about between 20 and 30 major speeches a year, And that pace was maintained during January and February

of this year. But then in March came coronavirus, April, May, June, not a single one. Many,

many Zoom presentations, but not a single live audience speech. Now, when I step out onto the stage

or up to the podium for a live audience speech, it's almost impossible to see individuals or even

think individuals. Essentially, you are confronting a large, amorphous audience,

and the speaking style and the oratory that is involved is specifically for a large audience.

But when I welcome you to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, it's a totally

different deal. It's not me looking out and thinking of thousands of people out there. No, I am speaking

only to you. Now, obviously, there are a number of people, each on their own schedule, their own time,

they're going to be listening, but I see only one happy warrior with a huge and humble heart.

And I may not know your name, although I do know the names of many listeners

already, but I do know enough about you to know that if you have listened more than once,

if you've come back for more, then you are a happy warrior, because only happy warriors

with huge and humble hearts are capable of

absorbing some of the toughness that gets delivered on this show because you'll remember.

Listeners to this show are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life.

Listeners to this show are not supine and lethargic lumps

of passive protoplasm, just waiting to be massaged with warm butter. No. Listeners to the show

are happy warriors with huge and humble hearts. Listeners to the show are happy warriors with huge and humble hearts.

Listeners to this show are eager to be actors on the stage of life, not merely to be acted
