I'm waiting in my weakness, he may be deep in happy land through my teeth to say I don't

reason it.

Even as I write these lines I'm close to tears, a bad thing ain't been working right for

seven years.

It's me with that keep your chin up, try to smack, bra I'm 26, I should feel better by

As from Tripley's track Sweet Victory, off his latest album Rise, we're talking with Tripley

this week on the Aspastor John podcast and we are honored to have you on brother and

we respect you a lot here at Desiring God and I want to dive in deep from the start and

ask you about personal suffering, something a 27 year old shouldn't have much experience

with but as this track explains you do in the form of chronic fatigue.

And obviously for a guy like you who dreams big this trial impacts your life in a big

way, how much does this continue to influence your life physically now?

really big ways.

And it's always been really hard to kind of help others understand that, you know, the ways

that it can wreck your life to never have adequate energy.

And the way I try to explain it sometimes is the energy is kind of like the fuel that

we need for every little task we do.
