Yo, what's up? It's your boy, E.T. Pastor of a place to change ministries. Thank you so much for

tuning into this podcast. You know, so many people have said to me, E, we love the normal service,

but the podcast, we can wash dishes, wash clothes, work out to it, drive up and down the road,

our commute to work. And so, guys, thank you so much. Look, you know,

we have one goal here, and that is to meet your spiritual needs. And so we hope that this message

helps you in your everyday walk, helps you in your transformation. And most importantly,

we hope that it helps you to make the rest of your life the best of your life.

I came to you weeks ago and I was discussing how I was in my last class before I began the dissertation process.

And I was discussing, I was really breaking down how in the candidate process, when you go from being a student in the PhD program to being a candidate for being a doctor,

they don't only give you percentages, 90, 95%, 99%, 80%, now it's either right or it's wrong.

And when I broke that down, I explained that 80% now it's either right or it's wrong.

And when I broke that down, I explained that when you get 80%, 90%, like, that's good, right?

And perhaps that's great, right?

You assume that somebody's in a PhD program, like they're chasing greatness, But when you get to the candidate level, that's phenomenal.

It's above greatness.

And if you want to be a master of what you do, you're not looking for a percentage.

Now you're looking for if it's right or if it's wrong.

You're not trying to get 90%.

So what they were telling me, Keisha, is that now that you're in the candidate level,

you are a candidate for phenomenal.

So what I had to understand quickly was I can't just turn to work in and say, you know what,

I'm sure I'll get an 85 in the past.
