Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcasts.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things

in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Today on the Happy Hour, JP Jonathan Bacluda is on and we're talking all about his new book,

which is called Why Do I Do What I Don't Want To Do?

You guys when I interviewed JP a couple weeks ago, I've got done with the conversation and

I think I said out loud in the room to nobody but myself and God.

These are the conversations I love to have.

I really enjoy the conversation you're going to hear today because it's right at my

alley and you're going to hear me drop a couple Easter eggs about a project I've been working

on that comes out next year and JP's book is near and dear to my heart.

It's called Why Did I Do What I Don't Want To Do?

It's called Why Is It Deadly Vices With Life Giving Virtues?

What JP is doing in this book and in this conversation today is really calling followers

of Jesus to live a life of holiness, to chase holiness.

And he has ancient battles that we have struggled with since the beginning of time and then

he has some modern battles that we've spined ourselves struggling with.

So he takes in this book, he takes the battle and then he replaces it with a virtue.

So there's conversations about pride and humility and grand forgiveness.

And then there's entitlement and gratitude which we talk about entitlement today, busyness

and rest, cynicism and optimism.
