Do Nice Guys Really Finish Last. I'm Tim Harford, host of the Cautionary Tales

podcast and I'm exploring that very question. Join me for my new miniseries on the art of fairness. From New York to Tahiti will examine

villains undone by their villainy, monstrous self-devouring egos and accounts of the extraordinary

power of decency.

Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Hey, this is Stephen Fertake.

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our

podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it

builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.

Enjoy the message.

Do you ever hear a recording of yourself?

And you think, is that me?

Is that all I sound? Should I only send text from now on? And like I walk

around even I walk around the house preaching and my kids know sometimes like Abby is the most attuned

and she's only six but she knows when I have left the room but my body's still there and I'm thinking about a sermon and she'll even call me out.

She looked at me the other day and said, are you working on a sermon in your head and I was so busted because we were supposed to be

watching this kids show together this boring awful television show that Abby enjoys

and I was trying to pretend to be

watching it with her but I was working on something in my head and two things at

once and she said are you working on a sermon in your head? And I said, okay, yeah, how did you know?

And she said, I watch your mouth.

I said, so I talk to myself when I work on sermons in my head. She said, ish, you make moves.
