Maybe my life of isolation is not the path that God has for me says about me or us in the social media age. I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze it. But I wanted to have you on because of your social media before I even knew you were a pastor.

0:40.4

So I don't even know what that says about me, but I was.

0:43.9

Or for that matter.

0:45.8

Oh, right.

0:46.6

Who knows?

0:47.5

Like I said, we're not going to go into the psychology of that.
