we welcome you now to a true church perspective with pastor g Craig lewis and so you know i i used to

you know i would just say whatever like i know people say you still do that but but it was

it was uncontrolled it was just whatever you know and so this got me into a lot of problems as I got older with my father because I just began to not honor my father like I should. And I began to just go at him because of things I thought he wasn't doing right. And my dad's church was out of town about three hours away, two hours away,

something like that. And so I would always feel like because he would be out of town,

he wasn't there for me. And or he wasn't there for the family. And so that would just

upset me. After I got older, I was going to church with him, but then after I got older, it would just upset me. And we would older i was going to church with him but then after i got older it

was just upset me and we would get into it and then some reason as i got older i got to the point

to where i just felt like i could talk back to him and tell him whatever i was thinking and go at him

like just like he was just a regular man and And y'all know how dangerous that is.

Right.

Okay.

Especially grown man strength.

My daddy was six to, you know, and I was five, nothing.

And he had grown man strength.

And let me tell you young boy something.

It's a big, you ain't going to just fight a grown man.

It just don't happen that way.

It's something God steps in.

I'm serious.

It's just a grown man thing. It's a disrespectful thing and God just don't like it. So you lose. You can't win. But, you know, as I was, as I was getting older,

I just, you know, I had a lot going on in my mind. I just, you know, so I felt like I would rather be homeless than live with my dad at the time.

I just like, you know, he, you know, he ain't doing what I think he ought to do, and I'm this and that.
