Hey friends, thanks so much for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

We're so glad to have you with us, and today Rick continues in his series called Transform.

Together, we'll dive into God's Word and discover powerful principles that can truly change our

lives from the inside out. Spiritally, physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, financially,

and vocationally. You'll experience how God's truth brings real transformation to every

part of your life.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick with part one of a message called From Stressed to Blessed.

We're looking at some of the most famous classic text in the Bible.

Last week we started with the most famous story or parable ever told

by Jesus called the parable of the prodigal son. This week we're going to look at the most

famous Psalm in the Bible, Psalm 23. So if you have a Bible, you open the Psalm 23. When my two boys, Josh and Matthew were

young, they were budding entrepreneurs. It seemed like every week they had a different business

deal they were coming up with, something to sell, something that they were going to make money at.

Josh was the entrepreneur and Matthew was the salesman. And one day they decided to capitalize

on the increasing level of stress they saw in our society. So they created this thing called

homemade stress balls. What they did is they took balloons and filled them with sand and tied a knot in it.

And then when you got under tension, you were supposed to squeeze this, then it would relieve

the tension in your life and in your body.

And so, well, they came in one day to my office.

They had a bucket of these.

And Matthew said, Dad, would you like to buy a stress ball?

And I said, no. They said, would you like to buy a stress ball? And I said, no.
