So for a long time growing up, I viewed being
a follower of Christ as you can't do this, you
can do this, These are your restrictions and limitations of
what's good and what's bad.
But I didn't think there was any freedom in that.
And I was afraid that in doing that, I would
be handing over my individuality and my identity.
So I kind of put that off and just walked
in the world and lived a very secular life.
And it never fulfilled me.
It never sustained me.
And I could vividly hear God in a couple instances
just be like, are you done?
Like, Are you ready to give your life over to
me?
Are you ready to let me have control?
And I would literally tell him no because I wasn't
sure that in doing that, it would turn out the
way that I wanted it to turn out.
You know, there is been a lot of talk that
I've received just about, you know, you may not want
to talk so much about that.
You might lose endorsements, you might lose deals.
This, that, and the 3rd.
But I mean, I don't live for the approval of
people, so I don't have to worry about any of
those things.
And even if an endorsement or something wants to leave,
I know that God will provide for me in the
way He sees fit, so I'm not going to compromise
the truth just to make people feel more comfortable.
