We're picking up with

the second part of a conversation today on do people really change.

What is a genuine proved path to transformation?

Does it work? Does it happen? How do we find it? And to get us going back into this Craig

I want to ask you, do you feel like you are changing, getting better?

Yes, I am. Say more.

Where? How?

Yeah.

The how involves pain, suffering, God disrupting my life and exposing my my relational style

style exposing my my persistent looking for options other than God, my giving in to the lies of the enemy, and how I am quick,

so quick to make agreements with him that when flushed and exposed I'm quick to break but feels like I'm

vulnerable to his lies and so how am I changing I think there's a deepening awareness of who I am, what I have to offer,

what's true, and a strengthened volition to choose to live in what's true and offer what's true

and be present and engaged in ways that I see bring fruit for his kingdom.

And more specific ways, I mean it boils down to loving others.

I think I'm loving Lori better now than I did three years ago, 10 years ago.

I'm a better father. I think I'm choosing to be a better friend.
