I'm probably 950 miles into the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

The sun is down.

I don't know where I am.

And I went to sleep.

I woke up a few hours later and the sun's coming up.

And then I saw what had happened.

And I could not believe it.

I used that story now to illustrate what it is to be in a sin, shame, repent, repeat cycle.

We've got Carl Klausen in the studio.

We sure do.

Are you excited?

Yeah, I'm excited.

Anytime Carl's here, I'm excited.

He's questioning.

I mean, of all things to talk about, Carl, we get to talk to you about your sin life. Yeah. Let's talk about sin. How exciting. How exciting. No, seriously, you just released a book called Killing Sin. Right. But tell us, why this topic? Can I tell you a story? Yeah. No, you're not very good at stories. Carl good of stories. He's the best. Can I tell you a story? Does anything to do with Alaska and Iditarod? It's one that I've never, it's so wild, I've never used this story until about a week ago in my life. And I don't know why. It's, some of these things are just Holy Spirit bound up and then all sudden, boom, released. So I'm probably 950 miles into the Adidurad Trail Sled Dog Race. I'd come into the village of Gullivan. Hey, wait, wait, wait. You know, as you tell these stories. Yeah. Bruce, I think we need, we need a soundtrack underneath. It feels like a movie, you know? You know, that I must it do. We need some wind and snow. I can play, I can play my guitar underneath you. I'm like, I want to pull up, like, my little cup of hot chocolate and Father Carl is going to tell us his story. It's so good. Oh, would you think... That's the idea of rod right there. Would you believe I'm thinking about going back and running a 50th anniversary compete of that race? What? Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, you're serious? Yeah. I'm not surprised at all. Really? I'm thinking about it. I think you could do it?

I can.

I know you could do it.

I know I can. I say do it. I do. So back to Gullivan. I'm not 900 and some miles into this race. So I'm close to the end. Probably got two days ago. It took me 21 days. 21 days? Yeah, eight hours, 12 minutes, and 32 seconds to get there.

So it was a ways.

So I leave Gullivan.

I've got seven dogs in my team, started with 13.

None of them died, but they get lacerated pads or dehydrated and you take care of them.
