Good morning. Welcome to the morning motivation, brought you by Pitcher Goal Group and the Public Square

app. By the way, this podcast, I'm going on for a year. Last week was our one year anniversary.

It's pretty remarkable. Thank you for all of your support. So a little follow up to last week's theme of the biggest chasm between

progressives and conservatives, but also just people, is do you think people are born good?

Or do you think people are born sinful? The next step of that is, and you can of course listen to those podcasts from last week. The next step of that is, and you can of course listen to those podcasts from last week,

the next step of that is right now. And forget about the boring part. You living right now,

are you living good or are you living sinful? Are you living a life where you think, you know, you're pretty good?

I don't need God anything. I don't need God's grace. I'm a good person. I go to church now again.

Maybe I don't, but whatever. I'm spiritual. Do you see this survey? Pull this up here.

Let's say a Pew survey, Gallup, excuse me, Gallup, among Democrats.

In 1999, 60% consider themselves religious, excuse me, religious.

60% religious.

Today, it's 37% of Democrats.

So a 23-point drop of Democrats who consider themselves religious.

So where do they go?

Well, a lot went to full-blown atheist,

but almost half went to spiritual.

I'm spiritual.

That's not a thing.

If someone says, I'm spiritual. I'm not religious. I'm spiritual. That used not a thing. If you, if someone says, I'm spiritual, I'm not religious, I'm

spiritual. That used to be me. That means you're worshiping yourself. That just means you're making

up religion. You're making up things and you have the gall to think, you got to figure it out.
