Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Well, God bless you. It's great to be with you today. And I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube

channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you be a part

of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard about this couple.

They were driving down the road when they saw a sign that said Nacadoches 40 miles ahead. They began to argue over how to correctly

pronounce the name Nacadochus. The husband got so upset, he told his wife that when they got

into town, he was going to stop and prove to her that she was wrong. They drove silently the next 30

minutes. When he arrived in town, he pulled into the first fast food restaurant.

They both marched up to the counter.

He said to the young lady working behind it, my wife and I have been arguing the last 30 minutes.

Would you please tell us very slowly and very clearly how to pronounce the name of this place?

The young girl's eyes got real big. She leaned over the counter and said, burger king. All right, y'all, say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the

word of God. I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about finding the lost you. Life has a way of changing us. At one time,

we were outgoing, excited about our dreams, grateful for our family. We saw the best in people

and excelled at work, positive, hopeful. Then life happens. We go through a disappointment and we lose a little joy.

We make mistakes and lose a little sense of value. People do us wrong and we lose a little passion.

We look up and wonder where that other person went. Men said to me last week, Joel, I've lost myself.

I used to be so passionate, so caring.
