This is Darren Kuhn with the Masculine Journey Podcast, where we search the ancient paths to find ways that God brings light into a dark world and helps set men free from the struggles that we all face on a day-to-day basis. Your chosen Truth Network Podcast is starting in just a few seconds. Enjoy it.

Share it. But most of all, thank you for listening and for choosing the Truth Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. I say this calls for action, and now.

The name came today on the Christian Car Guy Show. As you can tell, I don't have as much voice as I would like to have. So I need a show where you will call me, right? So I have Jerry here to help. And if you haven't, I haven't played this game since 2016, Jerry. Yeah, what?

2016, which is hard to believe, when he probably told me that, I was thinking, that can't be right. But man, another thing that made me realize just how quick time flies. Yeah. So get ready to call in at 866-348-7884. The way this works is that if you haven't named your car, right? You have been driving around with a car without a name. You know, what we've talked about for years on the Christian Car Guy Show is that when you truly love something, you give it a name. And usually you give it a lot of different names. If you know, I bet your wife, I have a friend, I bet he's got six names for his wife, and I never know. And they're all like Susie and Jan, and you just don't know who he's talking about.

And they keep him out of trouble, you never know. Right. And so what I discovered for years in the car business was that people that truly loved their car took great care of it. They named it.

And it was often hard for them to part with their car because, you know, they were so attached to it. So we want to help you out today with, give you a, even if your car already has a name, we want to give it a, we've never done this before, by the way, on the Christian Car Guy Show. We want to give it a biblical name, right? And so the way this works is you'll call in at 866-348-7884, and I'm going to ask you a few questions. And, you know, when we ask these questions, then we're going to put it in the car name generator, the biblical car name generator now, because today, very special, never done this before.

We're going to give it a biblical name, right, and we're going to talk a little bit about why names are so important as we go through the show. And again, just to give you an example of what this looks like, I have my producer Nick right here, and he has a car that's a Chrysler, from what I understand. So Nick, go ahead and let our audience know a little bit about, like, first of all, is your car male or female?

There's the first question. I would definitely say my car is a male, you know, one of my, a good friend, you know, always have a good buddy, a good partner that I always appreciate. Oh, it's a partner.

Yes, it's a partner for sure. Okay, so what year and model of Chrysler is it? I have a 2012 Chrysler 200. Okay. And what color is it? It's a dark blue, and yeah, that's a partner for me right there.

True blue. I like that. Okay, so personality type of this Chrysler 200, is it quiet, bubbly? Is it a performer, a champion, a doer, a commander, or a visionary? I would say my car is definitely a doer. You know? A doer. I like that.

It's a doer. It gets me to point A to point B for sure, and you know, sometimes when I have no one in the car to talk to, I just talk to my car. Have you ever just like talked to your car and just like, all right, we're going to get there today. Please don't break down. Over the years, I've had that conversation a lot.

I hope I get there today. All right, so what about your car brings you the most joy? I would say the fact that we've gone through stuff together, because you know, there, because with your car, there's history with your car.

Oh yeah. There's history, you know, good stories to always tell, and also life lessons that I can always say, because if there was ever a bad situation, I would just be driving my car and just like see the road, driving my car, see my dashboard as well, and I just say, you know what? I learned a lesson from this, and I'm driving to a new path. That's how I see it when I'm driving my car. That's beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. So what we do now that we have this information, and we want you to call us and get ready to call us with your car, 866-348-7884, but once we have all this information, like we have gotten from Nick, then we put it in the car name generator, and then the Holy Spirit helps me determine what the name of this car is, based on the information that we have gathered about the car. So Nick, go ahead and let's get the generator going.

The generator is spoken. So the biblical name that, I bet you're not going to be shocked at this one, Jerry, but your car's name is clearly Jonathan, because Jonathan was a true blue friend to David, wasn't it? Doesn't he?

So you know it's a male, it's true blue, you know, you talk to it, and it's a doer. Now Jonathan was a doer, right? He was a doer. He was.

He was on his journey. Yeah, so there you go. So we are going to get you out, believe it or not, Nick, there's a really, really cool, if you go to ChristianCarGuy.com, a car birth certificate, right, that you will receive with your car's official biblical name now, that you can be styling and profiling in Jonathan from here on out, you know, which, interestingly, just a little side bonus information, again, you can be calling us, because we want to put your car in the car name generator and get this for you.

866-348-7884. Bobby, you know, the thing is, yeah, I hope people call, because it's cool, but as I'm sitting here, this little bit of sadness came over me. You know what?

Why? Because we talked about naming our cars and stuff, and all this conversation, I can remember, I think I was on the air with the first time we did this, and the one that, the example that we used, naming your car and the importance of that, and that you care more for it, a little bit of a sad moment here, just thinking about it was, it was Old Red. Oh yeah. And I can go back, and for anybody who's been a listener for a while, knows the journey of Old Red, who was, I guess, for about as, I mean, that was how I, Old Red and Robbie were two peas in a pod.

That's anonymous for more than 25 years, yeah. So I hope other people will call in, and also this morning, as I sit here, and this kind of surprised Robbie, because I didn't really go over this with him, but with the environment we're in now, and as a Christian, how do we keep our faith? How do we keep from getting beat down by the world, and how do we keep knowing that God is in control and stuff? And I have a couple, I have like three verses that I kind of fall into continually when I sit there, you turn the TV on, you can't help but just be, you know, it just breaks your heart. And I'd also like to know what kind of verses some of our listeners listen to, and things they go to, to kind of keep them on track, because it's easy to get beat down and discouraged, and you know, and sometimes even question, you know, where is God in this situation? And as a Christian, you feel like, well, if I ever question God, where is God, that shows weakness in my faith. Really it doesn't, as long as we do it properly and correctly, and Scripture will lead us right to where we need to go. So I'm going to read, later on, I'm going to read three Scriptures that I continually use, and also another part that comes up this time of year, people don't realize, the hazards of driving in the fall season, because there's a lot of them out there that you never think about.

And my son's brighter, for one, than my wife discovered. Absolutely. Yeah. So, you heard how fun that is to put your car in the car name generator, and all you have to do, and we will get you a name, and we will get you out a birth certificate for your car, where you'll have your name, so you can style and profile with a Christian Car Guy official car name certificate 866-348-7884 is the number to call in and get your car name 866-344-TRUTH. And again, the idea of, interestingly with what you're talking about, the word name in Hebrew is Shem, you may know that Noah named his son Shem, right?

Kind of funny, that he named his son name. But the idea of that, when you hear those two letters, is fire and water. And what comes down from heaven? Fire and water, right?

Lightning and water, and the only place that it lives in harmony, by the way, is in heaven, which that word is Shem-ayim in Hebrew. And so, interestingly, we can hear the phone ringing in here. So we're trying to, by all means, call in, get your name 866-348-7884, and we'll be right back with a lot more Christian Car Guy with a car name generator, and Jerry, his voice will hold out as long as you keep talking.

We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. The name game today on the Christian Car Guy show, as you can hear my voice, it sounds like I'm going through puberty, Jerry, but I'm not.

It's just the result of laryngitis, which is not good when you're in the public speaking game. But nonetheless, we're having fun with the name game, and we got some callers lined up. First off, we got Tyra on. Tyra, you're on the Christian Car Guy show. Good morning, Tyra. Good morning. So, how fun. I'm so glad you called in.

I'm going to enjoy this. So, we got some questions for you. First of all, Tyra, is your car a boy or a girl? It's a boy.

Oh, I love it. Okay. And what's the make or model of your car? It's a 4Runner, Toyota 4Runner. What year? 2004. And what color?

Black. Oh, I love it. And then, personality type of your 4Runner. Would you say it's quiet, bubbly, a performer, a champion, a doer, a commander, or a visionary?

I would say it's a champion. I love it. So, what about your car brings you the most joy? Well, when I went to look for a car, I was trying to be really prayerful because I wanted to get the right car. And so, I went on the lot and it was more extensive than I had planned on. And so, I was just walking through the lot and I would look at it and walk away. And the Lord would turn me around and say, that's the car that I want you to get.

And then, I would just walk away from it and he just kept turning me around. And even when I went in, I said, okay, I'll get that car. And so, when I went in, the guy who did the financing said, you know, you're taking a big leap because the car that I had was much cheaper, much, much cheaper.

And he said, you're taking a huge, huge leap financially. And I said, well, that's the car that the Lord told me to get. So, it's been so, so, so faithful. It's just been extraordinary. And I know that because the Lord picked it, that I've been safe. It's just, it's been really faithful, been a doer.

It's just, just like Christ, it just has so many names of how it's performed. All right. So, Nick, are you ready? Let's put this forerunner in the biblical name generator, see what we get. So go ahead. Let's do it. Wow. That was a quick name generator.

But nonetheless, the name that the name generator slash Robbie has selected for your car. Are you ready? Drum roll please. Yes. No, I'm just kidding. Peter. Peter. Yeah.

Think about it. Peter was a forerunner, right? Talk about a forerunner. Yeah. Wow. Wow.

And, you know, to me, a champion is somebody who gets knocked way down and then comes way back up. Right? Yes. Yeah.

Other than Jesus, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody more of a champion than Peter. Right? Oh, wow.

Wow. Right? And faithful, like, oh my goodness.

Like he's there ready to cut off an ear if necessary. So I love it. I love it, Tyra. I love that too.

I love that too. Thank you so much. And so did she get your email address so we can be sure and get your car name off?

I've got a birth certificate for you. Oh, great. Thank you.

So you put it in the glove box of the car and carry it around. Yeah. Well, we're going to put you back on hold and then she'll get your email address and we'll get that for you. I'm so glad that you called in today. Thank you so much. That was really fun. Thank you. Really fun. And so we got Andrea.

Andrea is with us and Andrea, you're on the Christian car guys show. Good morning. Good morning. So how fun. I'm so glad you called into play and, and tell me about your car.

Thank you. Oh, well it was a car that I had when my daughters were little, they're 28 and 29 now. I think it was probably like a 1995, it was just a little car that was actually a gift to us and they named it blue bird and it was just so fun and I don't think it was a boy or a girl. I don't know. We don't know what it was. I don't think we ever said, what do you, if you had to pin it down right now, what would you say?

I would probably say a girl because I later had a son and they both wanted the girl. Yeah. Bluebird sounds like a girl.

You know, it just has that, that, you know, I I'm with you. And so, uh, what, what make and model of car is bluebird? Um, I, I would say, uh, like a Chevrolet. Is it a SUV or a van or a truck?

It was like a little, um, four door hatchback car. All right. All right. And uh, what color blue, obviously. Blue. Yes. Rob, you're on top of it this morning. Oh yeah. I put all that together at all. So a personality type, would you call it a bubbly, a performer, a champion, a doer, a commander, a visionary, or just quiet?

I would say a performer. Really It got us a lot of places. And what, what, what about bluebird has brought you the most joy?

Um, probably just the memories of my daughter's being little and all the laughter and fun we had together. Really? Yeah. I like that. Good memories. Yeah.

So like singing, right? Oh, well, I, you know, guess what, I get a little extra time on this one, which is going to be fun because this one's going to take, so we got to go to a break, but when we come back, we're going to figure out what Andrea's car name is and we got Janet and what we need you to call us at 866-348-7884. We're going to get your biblical car name for you when we come back.

So stay tuned. The biblical name name today on the Christian Car Guys show. You're calling in with your car so that we can give it that name.

And obviously from the people that have called in so far, Jerry, they clearly love their cars a whole lot. And very cool. We're so honored really that you would call us and allow us to give names to these. So Andrea, we have had plenty of time to actually, so we can just put it in the name, if you wouldn't mind, Nick, the name generator and see if it doesn't spit out something really cool.

I think it has, if I'm not mistaken. Yes. Thank you. It was a great idea. We'll treasure it.

All right, this is very cool. So interesting, the word blue in Hebrew is teklet, okay? And you might remember Moses' wife, his name was Zipporah. Well, that actually means bird, okay? So teklet zipporah would be, or you could just call her Zipporah, whichever you like, but the really cool thing about the name Zipporah, and you might remember that she saved Moses' life when God was going to kill him. It was her that knew that their son needed to be circumcised. So there's this idea of the righteous face, that birds have a very righteous looking face, and her name was that she had a righteous face, and she did something right when the moment of truth happened. And so Blooper, no doubt, should be teklet zipporah, just saying.

She's got two words. How cool is that? You know? Yes, that is amazing. My daughters are going to love it. I can't not wait to show them. You know what?

When you share that with them, you'll be able to just have the opportunity to remember all those memories that that car brought you that you were talking about earlier. You know? That's how cool. And it really is, Andrea. Thank you.

It really is. Thank you, guys. It's an honor to name your car for you today.

God bless. So we got— Yes! Thank you so much for calling in. We got Janet has been holding on a long time, so you can call us with your car.

We would love to help you name it, 866-348-7884. Actually, I need your calls because we don't have much voice, do we, Jerry? And so we got Janet calling in. Janet, you are on the Christian Car Guys show.

Good morning. I'm Jeanette. Oh, it's Jeanette. I'm going to get that right. Okay. Sorry. That's okay. Jeanette, tell me about your car.

Well, I have, I think, the last one that I had stopped making, a P3 Cruiser. It's a 2003. And it's a light, light to the road. Hey, Janet. Janet, do you have your radio on in the background? Yes, it is too much.

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Okay. No problem. I'm so glad you're listening to that radio. That means a lot to us. Hey, since I moved here on the 14th, I keep it on there and let it stay on there.

I love it. Hold on. Hold on.

I have a bad knee, so it takes me time. Take your time. No problem. Okay. Oh, gosh.

It is also, when somebody calls in and the radio is playing in the background, that is a blessing because you know they're tuned in, they're hearing, and that's that. So it's a 2003, yeah, 2003 PT Cruiser. What color is it? It's light gold. Oh, I love that color. Very light gold. I know that color. And it's a 22.

It is a show dirt, just like me. You know, they only made that color in 2003, if I'm not mistaken. It was a special color for the PT Cruiser that year. I was a Chrysler dealer, so I know about those, but anyway, your personality, the personality type of your PT Cruiser, is it bubbly, performer, champion, doer, commander, or visionary? Well, I don't think, I really, it's more of a, to me, it's a doer, but it's very dependable and very reliable. Even though it's a PT Cruiser, it's just like myself, I can depend on it. I have. It's just a product brand new.

A dependable. And it has something like that. I like that.

Yeah, and it has something like 500 something, I was on it because they had a truck first. I love that. And so is it a boy or a girl? Well, it's kind of a girl, but it's tough. It's a girl? A tough girl. It's a girl, yeah, but it's tough. A tough girl. Just like an SUV. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. A tough girl. And let's see, so what about your car brings you the most joy? The most joy, well, first of all, I paid cash for it, it's just a major gift that I was paying, I was able to pay cash for it. And it's still running, it's looking still good, everybody tells me.

And it's still very small, and it takes more than one a girl to do that. And I wouldn't trade it in for nothing. That is so cool. It's obvious that you love your car. So Nick, if you're ready, let's put that in the name, car name generator and see what comes out. Thank you, sir. So how fun, how fun.

I really love doing this, this is so fun, Jerry. The car name generator has decided that your PT Cruiser should be named Deborah, right? Because Deborah was one tough woman, let me just say.

She judged Israel and she took on, right, the armies of Cicero when nobody else would. And so, you know, that's me, that's me. And you know, in so many different ways, when you think about dependability, like you couldn't be more dependable than Deborah. And so there you go. That's true. That is so true. That was a perfect night.

Thank you so much. A perfect night. Yeah, yeah. How fun. I could talk about this all day. I could talk about this all day because if I wasn't at you all, I mean, I never cut it off. Really, I was wondering all the time, now there's so much. I've gotten so scared.

Well, we're so glad. Where do you live, Jerry? Well, I was living downtown in the West Village, in what city? Downtown what city? Durham, North Carolina. In Durham?

Yeah. And I was there for two, Durham, North Carolina, 27701. Oh, wow. Well, Deborah.

And I was there for two years. Oh, I am so, so grateful, so grateful that you called in today, and we got a chance to name your car. And I'm going to put you back on hold and make sure she got your email address, okay?

You're right, thank you. And she's going to be called Deborah, and she really is. And we performed just like that, even though I hurt my knee crossing the street one day, and I fell.

But I'm still moving, and I'm a rolling person, even though it's just, you know, I'm scared to give me that much, to keep myself busy, independently. That's wonderful. Thank you so much, Janet. God bless. So we need your call, right? We want it to just be an honor to help you name your car with a biblical name, right? He may already have a name, or she may already have a name, but, you know, we'd like to, you know, ever give it that biblical name, just to, you know, give it a feel of the Bible, right? 866-348-7884 is the name to call in, if you can do the thing with your, you know, I can do it every once in a while, 866-344-TRUTH.

I know, I better do that. Digitally gifted, right? Yes, yeah, 7884. You know, the cool thing about this, when you're giving it and hearing these stories, it's the connection that the people have made with the car, and the joy that the car has brought to him. And I think that's so important, and as we're sitting here, and the first thing I thought about with her, and talking about her struggles, and falling, and her knee hurting, and just how helpful that car is, just like with Blue Bird, the connection with her daughters, and those stories, and those memories, also makes me think about all the people, and I'm going to kind of go up on a rabbit trail a little bit, with Jesus' labor of love, that don't have that vehicle, that the blessing that could be. So also, just take the opportunity in this segment just to say, you know, there's so many opportunities for our listeners to get involved with Jesus' labor of love, you know, there's opportunity to pray for people. You can go online to ChristianCarGuide.com and go down to Jesus' labor of love, and you can pray for those people in need, you can donate, and I always say, and Robbie knows, this is one thing I always say as far as donations, don't take away from your local church, but there's people who say, you know, I've got a little extra money, and God bless me, where can I put that? One hundred percent of any money donated to Jesus' labor of love goes directly to the ministry of helping people. If you're a service facility, well, I'll go back to the helping people, there's a lot of people who have cars sitting in their driveways that they don't drive anymore, that you think, you know, it's kind of rough, it's not quite the car, you know, I've upgraded, and what do I do with it?

Donate it, because that could be a blessing to somebody that you would never even understand the depths of that blessing, how God will use that to bless somebody. Then if you're a facility, if you're in this listening area, and you're a facility that's willing to help, contact, drop an email, drop a text, and say, you know what, I live in, and I have a shop, or a tire shop, or a mechanic shop, a body shop in Durham, or Fayetteville, man, how can I help? There is opportunities for anyone listening. There you go, and we need your call. Thank you so much, Jerry, and again, you can go to ChristianCarGuy.com to find out more about the Jesus labor love, and of course, we need to get your call, so we can name your car. We only got one segment left, 866-348-7884, 866-34-TRUTH. Looking forward to hearing the stories.

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. The Name Game today on the Christian Car Guy show, and our opportunity to help you give your car a biblical name, and so the name means so much to your identity, you know, you're going to get a new one according to the book of Revelation, you're going to get a new name, and how fun is that? That will speak to your identity, and I like to put it this way, that everybody reflects God in their own beautiful, unique way. As a matter of fact, if you don't do it, nobody else can, and so we all miss out on God's glory reflected in you if you don't reflect it, so you know, your opportunity to study the Bible, your opportunity to get to know God better and move into that relationship with God allows you to reflect God so that your name becomes more and more clear all over you because that's your identity, and you've got that coming through from the moment you become a child of Christ.

And so, like a special sauce, like two all-beef patties, special sauce, what is cheese, pickles, onion, and a sesame, right? He's got that special sauce, and your car also has a special sauce, and how does it reflect God has to do with a name, which is why we're doing this because as you love something and you see how it reflects God, by naming it, you're giving it an identity, right? And I can see Nick just shaking his head because, you know, he got the name, yeah, he did. So we got Ann Alt, I'm excited to hear Ann, and she, I know, is in Charlotte, North Carolina. So Ann, you're on The Christian Car Guy Show, good morning. Hi. Hi. I should mention before I get going with you, Ann, that you can call in, and we need you to because it's the last segment, to get your car named 866-348-7884-86634-TRUTH.

So you know, I was going to mix that episode of Christian Car Guy Theater, but guess what? Yeah, excuses, excuses. No, I'm kidding. I was on the phone, and then the phone started doing weird things, sort of like my car, but anyway, it was, so I didn't even, I didn't even know, I was still on, I was sort of holding on, but it was dead air over here anyway. I'm sorry. But it's been such fun, I love, I love this. Do you still have that Buick that you, that you? I do.

Buick Lacrosse, and it's funny how I went from Buick Regal, which sounds very elevated and everything, just hunky-dory ginger peachy keen, but then I went to Lacrosse, which was very symbolic in my life, frankly. Oh yeah. Isn't it though? Take up your car.

Wow, I haven't thought about that, yeah. And, and it's been a very dependable car, steady, solid, black, drove from California to North Carolina, just me in the car, and I've loved it, you know, it's been a great car, you know, so. And is it a boy or a girl, Ian? Is it a what? A boy or a girl, male or female?

I think it's a boy. Okay. So steady, you know, solid, and sort of old-fashioned in that sense, you know, but, you know, just, it's been such a blessing to have, you know, and so.

And what about your car brings you the most joy? Just, just, you know, feeling that I will get to my destination. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. And just never let, you know, it always gets you there. Never let me down, so far, you know.

I haven't stalled in the middle of the freeway or whatever, but it has been a real blessing and a very turbulent time in my life, you know, when I bought it, actually, in Arizona and drove cross country, you know, and. Right, right. And I think God has worked us out so that we're going to come up with a really cool name. Oh, good. Nick, I think it's time to put all this information into the car name generator and see what it spits out for Anne.

Go ahead. So, the La Crosse, right? I've thought about this, Anne, and the Holy Spirit gave me this through the car name generator for you, the biblical name for your La Crosse is Moses, right?

It's taking you through the wilderness, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, I like that. And God didn't let your shoes wear out while you were in the desert. So far, so good. Right?

Poor tires. You know, how many times have I experienced that where this car that I was driving just didn't wear out, you know, when I was in the desert, you know, and it's just, and so your car, Moses, I mean, I can't think of a better car to lead me through to the Promised Land than Moses, right? Oh, I like that. That is so cool. Isn't that fun? Okay.

It is. Oh, it'll be fun. Okay, come on, Moses.

Let's go, boy. Well, it's getting as old as we are, you know, as high as it is. Yeah. Ain't that the truth?

But anyway, and you know, the rumor has it, Moses won't make it to the Promised Land. He'll just lead you there. You know what I'm saying? Uh-huh. Isn't that great? Yeah.

I thought that was fun. So. Uh-huh. Well, thanks so much for calling, my friend, and we will talk soon. But now you know why I haven't talked to you, are we?

Yeah. Oh, I can, yeah, I hear you. Believe me, I understand.

Never, you know, had too high expectations. I've actually felt a lot better in the last couple of days, but my voice unfortunately did not. Well, you sound a lot better today than you did yesterday when I talked to you, that's for sure. Well, speedy recovery, onward and upward to greater things, both of you, you're just such a champion.

You are champions. Well, thank you, dear friend. God bless. Have a great day. Yeah, you and Moses have a great day. Yeah, you and Moses.

We will. We got Moses and Zipporah today, you got his, well, that's pretty cool. Blessings, thank you, you're so sweet.

Thank you. So Jerry, wow, we only got a couple of minutes, if you got, you got to get it in here, 866-348-7884-866-34-TRUTH, but share some of your scriptures. Well, when I was sitting there, as I said earlier, it's just that, you know, the times we're going through and everything, how important it is that when we're in the middle of a crisis, and I think the world is in a crisis, it's important as Christians that we don't necessarily wait to the moment we're in that personal crisis. We need to be preparing ourselves to face those storms and stuff, and I just, three scriptures I just wanted to read this morning, because it's three that I will always kind of fall back on and meditate on and just look for God to speak to me through them, and the first one is Proverbs 3, 5-6, and it is, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. And that's a problem for me, leaning on my own understanding sometimes, because I want to listen to the world and allow the world to dictate how I should feel sometimes, but to understand that it's not on me. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

Wow, that is powerful when we think about it. Another one is Jeremiah 29, 11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare, not evil, to give you a future and a hope. And then the last one is Romans 8, 31, What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? And you know what, Robbie, when those storms come, it does seem like everything is against us, that we can't see any hope and we can't see any light at the end of the tunnel. But God has plans for us, and we can look back, and sometimes I tell myself and I tell others, sometimes we just need to look back at what God has done in our lives. You know, He's brought us through a lot of storms, and when we're in the middle of it, we kind of forget about those victories, sort of like the Israelites in the desert, you know, all of a sudden, you know, Moses, send me back, I'd rather be enslaved to the Egyptians than be out here wandering, forgot about all those miracles and all those times God got them through it. We're the same way, we forget about that, and I personally have to remind myself of that. Yeah, those are helpful, Jerry. I mean, and we've all got those, right, that come up, you know, I've got lots of them. Interestingly, a lot of them are just like check engine lights for me, right, that says, you know, great peace have they that love thy law, nothing shall offend you. And I hear that in my mind sometimes if I'm feeling offended.
