Welcome back everyone. We're just having this great conversation

with our friend, Pastor Derwin Gray,

former and a fell player,

it's written a number of books, has a new book, The Good Life coming out June 2nd. You know, we just feel like

he's ministering to us and we're grateful to share it with you.

I was thinking during the last episode

about Maslow's hierarchy of needs in a pandemic,

that the first need is safety and its food and shelter and so many people are feeling the foundation of

their psychological security threatened. But they don't know that the time Maslow was writing his

hierarchy of needs that Victor Frankel was working on something called Logos Therapy,

which is basically meaning and purpose.

And Victor Frankl ended up in a Nazi concentration camp and he found that even when people did not have their basic security needs met it wasn't safe they didn't

have food they didn't have clothing that if there was some deep meaning in their life that typically involved other people, that they were more likely to survive and thrive than the people who had lost meaning.

Purposeful people live an average of 11 years longer anyways.
