First up today, let's go to Chris calling in from Tennessee.

Chris, what's your question for, Adriel?

Testing one, two, three.

Can you hear me?

Hey, Chris, I can hear you.

All right, how do you all?

So I have a question.

When I was younger, I did some really bad things, and I was a Christian, and I confessed to my pastors and ask God to forgive me, and I try to forgive myself.

It seems the older I get, and the closer I try to get to the Lord, the more appalled I am

by some of these bad things I've done.

And I was just wondering, how can I deal with that?

Yeah.

Chris, my heart goes out to you, brother.
