I'll bury myself with drugs, alcohol, traveling, eating. I felt dirty. I've done it all, I've seen it all, I've met everybody. You feel empty. I wasn't happy. I mean, this is a lot of people's dreams. You'd be surprised out. Like, I'm unhappy you can be with, like, when your dreams come true, if they're not, not like tied to a godly purpose like i find myself

not praying because i'm like almost like scared because it's like you feel dirty yeah so i don't

i don't want to talk to anyone yeah or him are you afraid he's gonna get mad at you yeah like i was

given something and then probably misused it dude god's not mad at you when you choose those things over him. It just breaks his heart. He's like, oh, I wish you could, you know you could find it in me instead. I turn away from God because I feel like an hypocrite, like unworthy. You said that, you know, if any of that ever came out publicly, that option A would be to call it quits and take your life. Did you wrestle with that? What was that like? Something on my heart told me to just go, like, to go live. I just left the camera dark so, like, for three minutes just so I can like pace around and let people get in. So I could just be, they could just hear the whole story once. I looked at the number. I was like, 100,000 people. I don't have anything written down or, so I just confess in my own way. It ripped the shame away. You don't have to be clean to come to God. Hey, before we get into today's episode, I want to share two quick things with you. First, if these videos have meant anything to you if they've encouraged your faith or helped you see the gospel a little bit more clearly.

I just want to ask you to subscribe. A lot of people tune in every single week and haven't hit the button yet. It only takes two seconds and it helps us keep putting these conversations in front of people who need them. And the second thing, this one I've honestly been really excited to say, I'm officially announcing our ministry's biggest live event to date, Open Heaven Live podcast tour. It's happening November 8th this year at the pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas. This is going to be a night centered around worship, faith, real conversations, and genuine community.

but they more like they want to hear from me more often or get like me to respond to them.

And I was like, I don't know, part of me like comes like it comes from like a point of like,

I'll go and bend. I'll go with like like like the benders yeah and then i just won't
