Good morning, guys. Welcome back to preaching to the choir. Happy Sunday to you. If it's your first time, welcome. If it's your second or 10th time, welcome back. I've been doing this for months on Patreon and decided last week to post on the Mike Forrest podcast Sunday edition on YouTube, as well as my substack. I'll link all of those down below.

and bring the suppressed content that's buried under YouTube.

It helps bring it to the surface.

I started this journey on Patreon months ago because I wanted to talk about God,

especially as it related to my personal experiences.

This isn't me on a platform or a pedestal talking down to you.

It's me talking eye to eye, face to face,

peer to peer. And it's important that I have this conversation with you because it helps me.

It is my therapy. Selfishly, I want to say it's about you, but it's about me. I hope in that

honesty and truth that you found value out of this because you might be struggling with the same things.

And that's okay. We're all struggling in some way. Today's subject matter is speaking about how walking in faith is a lonely road. It often is. Why is it is it a lonely road well let's think about it most of my friends

very close friends aren't religious people if i started talking about god even in this format

those people would fall off they already have have. Isn't that interesting? The people in my

life who I love, who are friends and family that are more closely connected with God,

double down on their faith and reinforce mine with their words of affirmation, their positive feedback.

Isn't that what you should do in a fellowship, in a tribe, with people you love?

So a lot of you are used to appeasing people.

I've been there before, but now I'm over it. And that is the

profound lesson learned, because I don't care what people think. I don't care about judgment.
