| 0:00.0 | So I'm going to answer a few mailback questions here. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm going to answer a few mailback questions here. I've got a couple that have popped up, but I want to get to those. Obviously, I did. I appreciate you for the super chat you gave earlier. Really appreciate that. And then we've got a super chat from Jeff Wagner. They say choose hard. I choose God. BD. Are you comfortable speaking to resurgence of faith amongst high school |
| 0:37.7 | and college athletes and how that benefits Notre Dame? I mean, look, I don't care as much about |
| 0:43.0 | benefiting Notre Dame. That's great if it benefits Notre Dame. I care how it benefits the kingdom. |
| 0:48.6 | I mean, that's really what it comes down to for me, Jeff. And I talked about this, gosh, I think it was it after the game. Maybe it's leading up to |
| 0:57.6 | the national title game, but like, dude, Ohio State's got players that talk just as much about God |
| 1:02.0 | as some Notre Dame players do. Obviously, Riley Leonard was very open about his faith and Christian |

| 1:52.4 | side of the aisle you were on with certain debates and issues, there were men leading the charge |
| 1:57.0 | in those things. And that's what I think we absolutely need in this country is more men to |
| 2:02.6 | step up and be willing to take strong stands for different things, but especially for their faith. |
| 2:07.9 | It has to be rooted in faith for it to truly be as effective as I think it needs to be. |
| 2:12.4 | And you're seeing a lot more of that in Notre Dame. And not just by taking a knee in the end zone, |
| 2:17.3 | but just really being outspoken with their faith. And you just by taking a knee in the end zone, but just really |
