Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. We love you. If you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in today. And thank you again for coming out. I'd like to start with something funny each week. And I heard about these three men that were traveling together. A Hindu priest, a Jewish rabbi, and a televangelist. They stopped at a farmhouse for lodging, and the farmer said, I only have room for two in the house. Someone's going to have to stay in the barn. Hindu priest said, I'll do it. A few minutes there was a knock on the door. He said, I can't stay out there. There's a cow, and cows are sacred in our religion. Jewish rabbi said, I'll do it.

A few minutes, there was a knock on the door. He said, I can't stay out there. There's a pig,

and that wouldn't be kosher. The televangelist finally said, all right, I'll do it. In a few minutes,

there was a knock on the door. It was the cow and the pig. Hold up your Bible.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess.

My mind is alert.

My heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name.

God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about staying passionate about life.

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek word in Theos.

Theos is God.

When you're enthusiastic, it simply means you are full of God.

When you get up in the morning, excited about your future, recognizing that day is a gift,

and you go out with a spring in your step, pursuing your goals, passionate about life,

then God will breathe in your direction.
