In this episode, Ken Churchill shares his profound life journey, spanning from his early studies in philosophy and Bible to his fast-paced career as a stockbroker in Silicon Valley during its golden era. Ken reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his worldview, including a dramatic career shift from international relief work to wealth management, and the humbling spiritual lessons he learned along the way. He discusses how a period of personal reflection led him to transition from striving for personal significance to embracing organic, relationship-driven impact.

Ken also introduces A2B Ventures, a nonprofit dedicated to innovating pathways for societal healing by addressing root causes rather than symptoms. He details three of their major initiatives: the Hippocratic Society, which restores moral agency and healthcare ethics in medical schools; a dark-web redirection program aimed at preventing mass violence through counseling and connection; and a global research initiative on the transformative power of forgiveness. Through these projects, Ken illustrates what it means to partner with God in restoration work, emphasizing humility and faithfulness over manufactured success.

Key takeaways

• True wisdom and impact are organic products of genuine care and relationship, rather than manufactured achievements or striving for personal significance.
• Societal problems require deep diagnostic analysis to identify root causes and implement innovative solutions that have not been tried before.
• The Hippocratic Society aims to restore moral agency to healthcare professionals, shifting the paradigm from automated service providers to compassionate moral agents.
• Addressing mass violence requires reaching out directly to individuals in deep pain and redirecting them toward counseling and relationship before they act.
• Forgiveness is a powerful public health tool that frees individuals from emotional burdens and fosters global human flourishing.

Thank<00:00:18.803> you.

00:00:19.909 --> 00:00:24.349
So,<00:00:20.630> Ken,<00:00:21.111> I<00:00:21.127> know<00:00:21.432> that<00:00:21.736> you<00:00:21.897> have<00:00:22.057> had<00:00:22.378> a<00:00:22.474> storied<00:00:23.099> life<00:00:23.452> and<00:00:23.532> a<00:00:23.580> storied<00:00:23.997> career.

00:00:25.263 --> 00:00:34.579
I'd<00:00:25.600> love<00:00:25.824> to<00:00:25.920> hear<00:00:26.884> a<00:00:26.948> little<00:00:27.045> bit<00:00:27.110> of<00:00:27.206> your<00:00:27.384> story<00:00:28.255> and<00:00:28.997> specifically<00:00:29.723> starting<00:00:30.336> with<00:00:31.224> what<00:00:31.401> God<00:00:32.272> has<00:00:32.450> done<00:00:32.837> in<00:00:33.079> you<00:00:33.805> and<00:00:34.128> through<00:00:34.450> you.

00:00:35.015 --> 00:00:39.580
And<00:00:35.096> I<00:00:35.128> know<00:00:35.273> some<00:00:35.499> of<00:00:35.531> that<00:00:35.693> is<00:00:35.838> going<00:00:35.951> to<00:00:36.080> weave<00:00:36.322> into<00:00:37.359> your<00:00:37.538> career<00:00:37.943> in<00:00:38.024> Silicon<00:00:38.429> Valley<00:00:38.915> and<00:00:39.061> beyond.

00:00:41.590 --> 00:00:44.376
Well,<00:00:42.222> that's<00:00:42.400> an<00:00:42.481> intimidating<00:00:43.210> question<00:00:43.697> to<00:00:44.166> hear.

00:00:44.506 --> 00:00:44.667
Wow.

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:52.389
Basically,<00:00:47.090> I<00:00:47.171> guess<00:00:47.397> I<00:00:47.478> would<00:00:47.640> say<00:00:48.205> I<00:00:48.221> grew<00:00:48.447> up<00:00:49.255> outside<00:00:49.594> of<00:00:49.675> Boston,<00:00:50.160> Massachusetts,<00:00:51.452> in<00:00:51.549> a<00:00:51.613> small<00:00:52.098> town.

00:00:53.272 --> 00:00:59.155
Went<00:00:53.434> to<00:00:53.515> a<00:00:53.531> great<00:00:54.585> public<00:00:54.909> high<00:00:55.071> school,<00:00:55.460> went<00:00:55.557> to<00:00:55.719> Wheaton<00:00:56.108> College<00:00:56.999> in<00:00:57.421> Illinois,<00:00:58.150> met<00:00:58.377> my<00:00:58.636> wife<00:00:59.025> there.

00:01:00.846 --> 00:01:05.929
I<00:01:00.878> studied<00:01:01.344> Bible<00:01:02.068> because<00:01:02.454> I<00:01:02.486> knew<00:01:02.712> as<00:01:02.808> an<00:01:02.953> 18-year-old<00:01:03.532> American<00:01:04.063> male,<00:01:04.465> I<00:01:04.497> needed<00:01:05.028> character<00:01:05.430> development.

00:01:06.009 --> 00:01:06.685
That's<00:01:06.395> awesome.

00:01:06.749 --> 00:01:08.020
I<00:01:06.814> thought<00:01:07.055> maybe<00:01:07.296> the<00:01:07.377> Bible<00:01:07.682> would<00:01:07.779> help.

00:01:09.286 --> 00:01:24.823
And<00:01:09.448> then<00:01:09.868> in<00:01:10.014> my<00:01:10.337> upperclassmen<00:01:11.065> years<00:01:11.404> in<00:01:11.485> graduate<00:01:11.889> school,<00:01:12.374> I<00:01:12.471> studied<00:01:12.940> philosophy<00:01:13.829> because<00:01:14.152> I<00:01:14.233> felt<00:01:15.914> that<00:01:16.027> it<00:01:16.075> would<00:01:16.156> be<00:01:16.237> helpful<00:01:16.641> in<00:01:16.738> life<00:01:16.981> to<00:01:17.142> be<00:01:17.223> able<00:01:17.385> to<00:01:17.530> think<00:01:17.789> clearly<00:01:18.419> and<00:01:18.662> analyze<00:01:19.470> I<00:01:19.534> didn't<00:01:20.624> know<00:01:20.784> that<00:01:20.928> about<00:01:21.169> you,<00:01:21.265> but<00:01:21.409> it<00:01:21.810> actually<00:01:22.034> makes<00:01:22.387> so<00:01:22.563> much,<00:01:23.012> makes<00:01:23.525> so<00:01:23.749> much<00:01:23.974> more<00:01:24.086> sense<00:01:24.615> right<00:01:24.791> now.

00:01:25.497 --> 00:01:26.170
That's<00:01:25.833> awesome.

00:01:26.699 --> 00:01:35.083
I<00:01:26.715> felt<00:01:26.939> the<00:01:27.036> philosophical<00:01:27.677> topics<00:01:28.142> may<00:01:28.318> or<00:01:28.382> may<00:01:28.478> not<00:01:28.783> be<00:01:28.879> important<00:01:29.344> themselves,<00:01:30.081> but<00:01:30.226> the<00:01:30.322> skill,<00:01:31.123> like,<00:01:31.668> like<00:01:31.829> to<00:01:31.989> be<00:01:32.149> able<00:01:32.325> to<00:01:32.646> be<00:01:32.790> that<00:01:33.432> gymnast<00:01:34.249> that<00:01:34.329> could<00:01:34.473> do<00:01:34.570> an<00:01:34.714> Ironman.

00:01:35.692 --> 00:01:37.583
Like,<00:01:36.012> you<00:01:36.108> never<00:01:36.333> really<00:01:36.509> need<00:01:36.654> to<00:01:36.798> do<00:01:36.894> that<00:01:37.134> in<00:01:37.199> real<00:01:37.295> life.

00:01:38.337 --> 00:01:40.805
But<00:01:38.481> to<00:01:38.513> be<00:01:38.641> a<00:01:38.657> gymnast<00:01:39.363> gets<00:01:39.523> you<00:01:39.619> pretty<00:01:39.843> healthy,<00:01:40.164> probably<00:01:40.597> too.

00:01:41.206 --> 00:01:41.462
Yeah.

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.079
So<00:01:42.488> what<00:01:42.889> changed<00:01:43.226> in<00:01:43.290> your<00:01:43.450> thinking<00:01:44.332> as<00:01:44.444> a<00:01:44.508> result<00:01:45.053> of<00:01:45.149> studying<00:01:45.470> philosophy?

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:53.630
I<00:01:48.436> think<00:01:48.981> I've<00:01:49.093> spent<00:01:50.183> most<00:01:50.584> of<00:01:50.664> my<00:01:50.905> life<00:01:51.306> trying<00:01:51.578> to<00:01:51.787> understand<00:01:52.348> how<00:01:52.588> other<00:01:52.845> people<00:01:53.165> think.

00:01:54.432 --> 00:02:09.646
And<00:01:54.528> in<00:01:54.672> my<00:01:54.865> mind,<00:01:55.650> I<00:01:55.730> see<00:01:56.853> patterns<00:01:57.430> and<00:01:57.558> I<00:01:57.654> see<00:01:57.895> structures,<00:01:59.803> models<00:02:01.759> of<00:02:01.903> kind<00:02:02.079> of<00:02:02.207> what's<00:02:02.384> going<00:02:02.688> on<00:02:02.785> in<00:02:02.865> the<00:02:03.009> world<00:02:03.362> and<00:02:03.971> where<00:02:05.029> an<00:02:05.109> extraneous<00:02:05.831> factoid<00:02:06.552> sort<00:02:06.729> of<00:02:06.793> fits<00:02:07.194> into<00:02:07.434> a<00:02:07.578> larger<00:02:08.316> paradigm<00:02:09.053> or<00:02:09.262> model.

00:02:10.961 --> 00:02:15.803
And<00:02:11.105> whether<00:02:11.362> it's<00:02:11.522> valid<00:02:12.003> in<00:02:12.147> that<00:02:12.324> model<00:02:12.644> or<00:02:12.741> not,<00:02:13.671> whether<00:02:13.927> it<00:02:13.975> needs<00:02:14.232> refinement<00:02:14.969> or<00:02:15.129> rejection.

00:02:17.775 --> 00:02:25.421
And<00:02:17.999> interestingly,<00:02:19.281> I<00:02:19.313> feel<00:02:19.538> that<00:02:19.634> in<00:02:19.698> the<00:02:19.778> last<00:02:20.179> year<00:02:20.339> or<00:02:20.371> so,<00:02:20.804> I've<00:02:20.900> spent<00:02:21.205> more<00:02:21.558> time,<00:02:22.263> maybe<00:02:22.471> a<00:02:22.487> few<00:02:22.824> years,<00:02:23.545> thinking<00:02:24.026> more,<00:02:24.411> how<00:02:24.587> do<00:02:24.892> I<00:02:25.084> think?

00:02:25.854 --> 00:02:29.990

00:02:30.839 --> 00:02:35.600
And<00:02:30.903> I<00:02:30.935> find<00:02:31.160> there's<00:02:31.304> some<00:02:31.496> areas<00:02:31.801> of<00:02:31.833> my<00:02:31.961> life<00:02:32.426> I'm<00:02:32.586> better<00:02:32.907> at<00:02:33.083> it,<00:02:33.789> and<00:02:33.949> other<00:02:34.189> areas<00:02:34.606> I'm<00:02:34.686> not<00:02:34.863> as<00:02:34.991> equipped<00:02:35.392> at<00:02:35.504> it.

00:02:36.193 --> 00:02:42.701
So,<00:02:36.610> wow,<00:02:37.572> the<00:02:37.652> skill<00:02:38.069> of<00:02:38.213> evaluating<00:02:38.838> your<00:02:38.934> thinking<00:02:39.479> is<00:02:40.521> crucial<00:02:41.403> and<00:02:41.563> rarely<00:02:41.980> practiced.

So<00:02:57.032> after<00:02:57.273> college,<00:02:57.850> my<00:02:58.187> thought,<00:02:58.507> my<00:02:58.651> choices<00:02:59.116> would<00:02:59.293> be<00:02:59.597> either<00:02:59.758> work<00:03:00.014> with<00:03:00.174> Ravi<00:03:00.431> Zacharias<00:03:01.152> or<00:03:01.216> something<00:03:01.681> in,<00:03:02.002> um,<00:03:03.364> uh,<00:03:03.525> in<00:03:03.605> apologetics,<00:03:04.727> or,<00:03:05.689> uh,<00:03:06.170> go<00:03:06.346> back<00:03:06.602> to<00:03:06.827> Thailand<00:03:07.308> and<00:03:07.452> other<00:03:07.612> refugee<00:03:07.949> situations<00:03:08.670> or<00:03:08.734> work<00:03:08.975> with<00:03:09.312> refugees.

00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:11.331
So<00:03:10.193> you<00:03:10.257> said<00:03:10.514> back<00:03:10.818> to<00:03:10.915> Thailand?

00:03:11.540 --> 00:03:16.653
Yeah,<00:03:12.197> so<00:03:12.421> I<00:03:12.502> dropped<00:03:12.822> out<00:03:12.918> my<00:03:12.998> senior<00:03:13.399> year<00:03:13.559> of<00:03:13.704> Wheaton<00:03:13.960> to,<00:03:14.361> to<00:03:15.066> live<00:03:15.243> in<00:03:15.387> Thailand<00:03:15.708> and<00:03:15.884> work<00:03:16.108> with<00:03:16.204> refugees.

00:03:17.006 --> 00:03:17.583
Wow.

00:03:17.904 --> 00:03:20.950
So<00:03:18.128> in<00:03:18.385> senior<00:03:18.753> high<00:03:18.865> school,<00:03:19.314> I<00:03:19.394> had,<00:03:19.715> I<00:03:19.795> had<00:03:20.196> worked<00:03:20.437> with<00:03:20.533> refugees.

00:03:21.014 --> 00:03:21.865
I<00:03:21.030> learned<00:03:21.335> Vietnamese.

00:03:22.763 --> 00:03:27.464
I<00:03:23.244> had<00:03:23.726> learned<00:03:23.966> French<00:03:24.544> in<00:03:24.688> school<00:03:25.266> already,<00:03:25.747> but<00:03:25.908> then<00:03:26.694> these<00:03:26.854> refugees<00:03:27.255> came.

00:03:27.512 --> 00:03:28.490

00:03:29.052 --> 00:03:35.389
So,<00:03:29.180> I<00:03:29.277> spent<00:03:29.533> a<00:03:29.597> summer<00:03:30.063> after<00:03:30.239> freshman<00:03:30.704> year<00:03:30.881> of<00:03:31.025> college<00:03:32.710> in<00:03:33.143> France<00:03:34.475> working<00:03:34.747> with<00:03:34.892> refugees.

00:03:35.453 --> 00:03:38.517
Then<00:03:35.549> my<00:03:35.694> senior<00:03:35.999> year,<00:03:36.175> I<00:03:36.255> dropped<00:03:36.640> out<00:03:36.737> to<00:03:36.881> go<00:03:36.977> to<00:03:37.057> the<00:03:37.138> refugee<00:03:37.539> camps<00:03:37.860> of<00:03:37.940> Thailand.

00:03:39.303 --> 00:03:45.063
And<00:03:39.368> so,<00:03:39.448> I<00:03:39.544> thought,<00:03:39.785> well,<00:03:39.945> maybe<00:03:40.122> I'll<00:03:40.250> just<00:03:40.427> continue<00:03:40.892> all<00:03:41.052> that,<00:03:41.389> or<00:03:41.533> maybe<00:03:41.774> I'd<00:03:41.935> work<00:03:42.095> with<00:03:42.255> Ravi<00:03:42.592> because<00:03:43.154> apologetics<00:03:43.796> really<00:03:44.277> interested<00:03:44.662> me<00:03:44.758> a<00:03:44.774> lot.

00:03:45.304 --> 00:03:45.657
Yeah.

00:03:47.471 --> 00:04:01.101
Let<00:03:47.551> me<00:03:47.631> actually<00:03:47.888> take<00:03:48.129> a<00:03:48.209> detour<00:03:48.691> before<00:03:49.076> we<00:03:49.172> go<00:03:49.349> into<00:03:49.558> Silicon<00:03:50.039> Valley,<00:03:50.376> which<00:03:50.617> is<00:03:50.649> to<00:03:50.842> say<00:03:51.243> I<00:03:51.340> packed<00:03:51.805> up<00:03:52.608> my<00:03:52.785> bags<00:03:53.347> in<00:03:53.427> graduate<00:03:53.909> school<00:03:54.390> to<00:03:54.615> drive<00:03:55.032> from<00:03:55.578> the<00:03:55.659> Chicago<00:03:56.301> area<00:03:56.702> back<00:03:56.959> to<00:03:57.055> Boston<00:03:57.601> where<00:03:58.468> my<00:03:59.143> soon-to-be<00:03:59.688> bride<00:04:00.090> and<00:04:00.234> I<00:04:00.411> were<00:04:00.555> gonna<00:04:00.732> live.

00:04:01.936 --> 00:04:11.858
And<00:04:02.081> I<00:04:02.177> was<00:04:02.643> utterly<00:04:02.980> depressed<00:04:04.248> that<00:04:04.409> I'd<00:04:04.585> studied<00:04:05.147> a<00:04:05.372> year<00:04:05.934> of<00:04:06.030> the<00:04:06.094> history<00:04:06.432> of<00:04:06.464> philosophy<00:04:07.170> at<00:04:07.379> Wheaton<00:04:07.700> with<00:04:07.860> Art<00:04:08.037> Holmes,<00:04:09.482> which<00:04:09.643> is<00:04:10.124> a<00:04:10.204> great<00:04:10.526> class<00:04:11.007> and<00:04:11.087> a<00:04:11.232> great<00:04:11.553> man.

00:04:12.356 --> 00:04:16.729
And<00:04:12.452> then<00:04:12.756> 2<00:04:13.077> years,<00:04:13.477> I<00:04:13.557> guess,<00:04:13.830> a<00:04:13.894> year<00:04:14.022> or<00:04:14.118> 2<00:04:14.214> of<00:04:14.294> history<00:04:14.615> of<00:04:14.679> philosophy<00:04:14.999> of<00:04:15.159> religion<00:04:15.896> in<00:04:16.041> graduate<00:04:16.457> school.

00:04:17.739 --> 00:04:27.336
And<00:04:19.005> I<00:04:19.101> came<00:04:19.357> to<00:04:19.501> believe<00:04:20.062> that<00:04:20.222> the<00:04:20.366> summary<00:04:20.943> of<00:04:21.023> intellectual<00:04:21.680> thought<00:04:22.225> through<00:04:22.449> human<00:04:22.770> history<00:04:23.667> was<00:04:24.067> basically,<00:04:25.093> Dad<00:04:25.429> got<00:04:25.734> it<00:04:25.910> wrong,<00:04:26.551> I<00:04:26.695> got<00:04:26.887> it<00:04:27.095> right.

00:04:27.977 --> 00:04:28.105
Wow.

00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:33.953
So,<00:04:29.098> Plato<00:04:29.434> thought<00:04:29.691> that,<00:04:29.915> I<00:04:29.995> think,<00:04:30.236> about<00:04:31.053> Socrates,<00:04:31.838> and<00:04:31.998> Aristotle<00:04:32.623> thought<00:04:32.863> that<00:04:33.055> about<00:04:33.360> both<00:04:33.664> of<00:04:33.824> them.

00:04:34.081 --> 00:04:41.883
And<00:04:34.722> you<00:04:34.786> just<00:04:34.978> go<00:04:35.106> all<00:04:35.218> through<00:04:35.507> history,<00:04:36.003> Aquinas<00:04:36.644> is<00:04:36.788> riffing<00:04:37.189> off<00:04:37.381> of<00:04:37.509> Aristotle,<00:04:38.326> and<00:04:38.807> Michel<00:04:39.127> Foucault<00:04:39.528> says<00:04:39.913> everybody's<00:04:40.569> wrong<00:04:40.890> about<00:04:41.274> everything.

00:04:42.758 --> 00:04:45.070
It's<00:04:43.001> kind<00:04:43.178> of<00:04:43.243> depressing<00:04:43.987> if<00:04:44.068> you<00:04:44.213> looked<00:04:44.391> at<00:04:44.552> it<00:04:44.633> that<00:04:44.876> way.

00:04:45.442 --> 00:04:45.684
Yeah.

00:04:46.153 --> 00:04:52.926
And<00:04:46.314> I<00:04:46.638> remember<00:04:47.236> it<00:04:47.284> was<00:04:47.398> a<00:04:47.446> very<00:04:48.335> dark<00:04:48.917> overcast<00:04:49.483> sky<00:04:50.049> with<00:04:50.226> a<00:04:50.356> glimmer<00:04:50.922> of<00:04:51.002> sunrise<00:04:51.891> on<00:04:52.280> the<00:04:52.376> horizon.

00:04:54.316 --> 00:04:58.471
It<00:04:55.286> felt<00:04:55.529> like<00:04:55.771> the<00:04:56.191> Wizard<00:04:56.676> of<00:04:57.064> Oz<00:04:57.323> intro,<00:04:58.131> kind<00:04:58.390> of.

00:05:00.253 --> 00:05:05.786
And<00:05:00.333> I<00:05:00.413> cried<00:05:00.735> out<00:05:00.896> to<00:05:01.041> God,<00:05:01.411> Lord,<00:05:02.086> I<00:05:02.263> believe<00:05:03.132> Jesus<00:05:03.566> is<00:05:03.711> God<00:05:04.097> and<00:05:04.194> I<00:05:04.338> believe<00:05:04.660> the<00:05:04.837> Bible<00:05:05.239> is<00:05:05.400> true.

00:05:05.963 --> 00:05:07.459
What<00:05:06.124> else<00:05:06.430> am<00:05:06.526> I<00:05:06.607> supposed<00:05:06.993> to<00:05:07.153> believe?

00:05:08.478 --> 00:05:11.930
And<00:05:08.574> with<00:05:08.719> that<00:05:08.960> question,<00:05:09.682> instantly,<00:05:10.501> it<00:05:10.581> seems<00:05:10.967> like<00:05:11.207> the<00:05:11.448> answer<00:05:11.705> came.

00:05:12.026 --> 00:05:17.518
John<00:05:12.331> 14:6,<00:05:13.777> Jesus<00:05:14.210> said,<00:05:15.222> I<00:05:15.543> am<00:05:15.960> the<00:05:16.105> way,<00:05:16.442> the<00:05:16.602> truth,<00:05:17.004> and<00:05:17.084> the<00:05:17.164> life.

00:05:18.112 --> 00:05:21.676
All<00:05:18.144> right,<00:05:18.433> well,<00:05:18.674> I<00:05:18.754> already<00:05:18.947> acknowledged<00:05:19.412> Jesus<00:05:19.798> was<00:05:19.974> God,<00:05:20.295> and<00:05:20.456> now<00:05:20.617> this<00:05:20.793> is<00:05:20.922> him<00:05:21.163> himself.

00:05:22.367 --> 00:05:25.883
And<00:05:22.447> I<00:05:22.463> said,<00:05:23.154> you<00:05:23.186> know,<00:05:23.362> I<00:05:23.410> believe<00:05:23.587> God's<00:05:23.972> word<00:05:24.213> was<00:05:24.390> true,<00:05:24.711> and<00:05:24.791> this<00:05:24.968> is<00:05:25.032> from<00:05:25.273> God's<00:05:25.578> word.

00:05:26.461 --> 00:05:30.058
And<00:05:26.718> then<00:05:27.103> I<00:05:27.136> shortened<00:05:27.601> that<00:05:27.778> sentence<00:05:28.227> to,<00:05:28.388> Jesus<00:05:28.789> said,<00:05:29.271> I<00:05:29.448> am<00:05:29.592> the<00:05:29.689> truth.

00:05:30.395 --> 00:05:30.780
Hmm.

00:05:31.278 --> 00:05:36.397
And<00:05:31.358> I<00:05:31.599> realized<00:05:33.462> We<00:05:33.558> talk<00:05:33.879> about<00:05:34.087> whether<00:05:34.328> truth<00:05:34.601> is<00:05:34.890> objective<00:05:35.483> or<00:05:35.563> subjective.

00:05:36.815 --> 00:05:37.360
It's<00:05:37.071> both.

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:42.975
And<00:05:38.675> it's<00:05:38.852> not<00:05:39.141> only<00:05:39.478> both,<00:05:39.943> it's<00:05:40.183> personal,<00:05:41.226> meaning<00:05:41.627> it<00:05:41.868> is<00:05:42.269> a<00:05:42.429> person.

00:05:43.568 --> 00:05:48.252
And<00:05:43.648> if<00:05:43.793> we<00:05:43.969> want<00:05:44.226> to<00:05:44.386> approach<00:05:45.012> truth,<00:05:45.654> we<00:05:45.814> need<00:05:46.039> to<00:05:46.135> be<00:05:46.359> approaching<00:05:47.081> the<00:05:47.178> person<00:05:47.723> of<00:05:47.819> Jesus.

00:05:49.504 --> 00:05:54.894
We<00:05:49.600> need<00:05:49.744> to<00:05:49.809> approach<00:05:50.290> the<00:05:50.530> Word<00:05:51.252> as<00:05:51.509> both<00:05:52.632> the<00:05:52.776> risen<00:05:53.113> Christ<00:05:53.819> and<00:05:53.915> the<00:05:54.076> written<00:05:54.332> Scripture.

00:05:56.225 --> 00:06:05.283
And<00:05:56.402> that<00:05:56.707> just—<00:05:57.685> that<00:05:57.990> momentary<00:05:58.888> glimpse<00:05:59.353> from<00:05:59.530> the<00:05:59.610> Lord<00:06:00.428> has<00:06:00.670> just<00:06:02.451> absolutely<00:06:02.790> impacted<00:06:03.341> and<00:06:03.454> led<00:06:03.745> and<00:06:03.859> influenced<00:06:04.312> the<00:06:04.393> whole<00:06:04.571> rest<00:06:04.814> of<00:06:04.846> my<00:06:04.959> life.

00:06:06.634 --> 00:06:07.050
I<00:06:06.704> can<00:06:06.825> imagine.

00:06:08.380 --> 00:06:17.006
So,<00:06:08.509> so<00:06:08.638> after,<00:06:09.121> after<00:06:09.621> a<00:06:09.782> little<00:06:09.928> bit<00:06:10.024> more<00:06:10.186> grad<00:06:10.492> school<00:06:10.750> in<00:06:10.911> Boston,<00:06:11.879> my<00:06:12.185> wife<00:06:12.588> and<00:06:13.314> year-and-a-half-old<00:06:13.879> daughter<00:06:14.604> and<00:06:14.846> I<00:06:15.088> went<00:06:15.330> to<00:06:15.588> Sudan<00:06:16.136> with<00:06:16.313> World<00:06:16.619> Vision.

00:06:18.712 --> 00:06:27.984
After<00:06:18.889> 6<00:06:19.292> weeks<00:06:19.533> in<00:06:19.630> Sudan,<00:06:20.322> I<00:06:20.403> had<00:06:20.564> to<00:06:20.644> go<00:06:20.741> down<00:06:20.982> to<00:06:21.127> a<00:06:21.208> U.S.<00:06:21.465> government<00:06:21.787> accounting<00:06:22.190> conference<00:06:22.898> in<00:06:23.236> Nairobi,<00:06:24.685> and<00:06:24.830> Sudan<00:06:25.394> would<00:06:25.571> not<00:06:25.738> give<00:06:26.007> a<00:06:26.383> Give<00:06:26.561> us<00:06:26.722> a<00:06:26.868> visa<00:06:27.208> to<00:06:27.369> go<00:06:27.596> back.

00:06:28.712 --> 00:06:36.239
If<00:06:28.889> you<00:06:29.035> remember,<00:06:29.455> they<00:06:29.553> were<00:06:29.698> in<00:06:29.779> a<00:06:29.795> civil<00:06:30.248> war<00:06:30.652> with<00:06:30.733> the<00:06:30.846> South,<00:06:32.350> and<00:06:32.528> they<00:06:32.690> didn't<00:06:33.013> want<00:06:33.337> Christians<00:06:34.534> in<00:06:34.695> Khartoum<00:06:35.294> or<00:06:35.439> in<00:06:35.650> North<00:06:35.767> Sudan.

00:06:37.767 --> 00:06:42.831
I<00:06:37.847> didn't<00:06:38.106> know<00:06:38.284> until<00:06:38.592> 9/11<00:06:39.401> that<00:06:39.546> there<00:06:39.627> was<00:06:39.741> a<00:06:39.805> guy<00:06:39.983> named<00:06:40.226> Osama<00:06:40.760> bin<00:06:40.922> Laden<00:06:41.342> living<00:06:41.666> in<00:06:41.747> Sudan<00:06:42.216> when<00:06:42.378> we<00:06:42.540> were<00:06:42.637> there.

00:06:43.753 --> 00:06:52.038
Our<00:06:43.834> hotel<00:06:44.498> was<00:06:44.740> blown<00:06:45.048> up<00:06:45.226> by<00:06:45.387> the<00:06:45.549> PLO<00:06:47.085> in<00:06:47.246> Khartoum,<00:06:47.892> so<00:06:47.973> you<00:06:48.118> can<00:06:48.231> imagine<00:06:48.941> what<00:06:49.102> kind<00:06:49.344> of<00:06:49.989> an<00:06:50.312> environment<00:06:50.796> it<00:06:50.877> was<00:06:51.054> to<00:06:51.183> raise<00:06:51.441> a<00:06:51.506> family<00:06:51.925> there.

00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:56.185
Anyway,<00:06:53.297> so<00:06:53.781> we<00:06:53.862> couldn't<00:06:54.104> get<00:06:54.265> back<00:06:54.507> anyway,<00:06:55.217> and<00:06:55.475> we<00:06:55.620> had<00:06:55.669> a<00:06:55.685> couple<00:06:55.765> months<00:06:55.894> in<00:06:55.927> in<00:06:55.959> the<00:06:55.991> Karen<00:06:56.072> section.

00:06:58.362 --> 00:07:01.846
Of<00:06:58.459> Nairobi<00:06:59.631> trying<00:06:59.759> to<00:06:59.871> figure<00:07:00.353> out<00:07:00.594> what<00:07:00.771> we<00:07:00.867> could<00:07:01.011> do<00:07:01.172> with<00:07:01.397> World<00:07:01.573> Vision.

00:07:01.895 --> 00:07:07.771
And<00:07:01.975> the<00:07:02.039> long<00:07:02.360> answer—<00:07:03.002> long<00:07:03.067> and<00:07:03.179> short<00:07:03.564> of<00:07:03.645> it<00:07:03.741> was<00:07:04.624> the<00:07:04.769> funding<00:07:05.106> was<00:07:05.250> to<00:07:05.347> be<00:07:05.571> in<00:07:05.652> Sudan<00:07:06.294> and<00:07:06.374> the<00:07:06.470> visa<00:07:06.808> is<00:07:06.936> to<00:07:07.032> be<00:07:07.193> in<00:07:07.338> Kenya.

00:07:07.835 --> 00:07:13.728
That's<00:07:08.076> an<00:07:08.542> irreconcilable<00:07:09.923> disconnect,<00:07:11.046> and<00:07:11.271> we<00:07:11.368> need,<00:07:11.849> we<00:07:11.946> need<00:07:12.154> to<00:07:12.251> tell<00:07:12.475> them<00:07:12.636> where<00:07:12.813> to<00:07:12.877> ship<00:07:13.150> our<00:07:13.294> stuff.

00:07:14.643 --> 00:07:18.898
You<00:07:14.675> know,<00:07:14.820> they<00:07:14.916> said,<00:07:15.366> you're<00:07:15.703> not<00:07:15.863> quitting,<00:07:16.329> we're<00:07:16.441> not<00:07:16.730> firing<00:07:17.148> you,<00:07:17.469> but<00:07:17.790> it's<00:07:18.015> just<00:07:18.336> not<00:07:18.577> working.

00:07:20.263 --> 00:07:23.056
And<00:07:20.343> that<00:07:20.520> was<00:07:20.825> honestly<00:07:21.242> because<00:07:21.579> of<00:07:21.724> a<00:07:21.804> bad<00:07:22.109> Christian<00:07:22.446> testimony.

00:07:24.198 --> 00:07:29.570
There<00:07:24.278> was<00:07:24.391> a<00:07:24.456> famous<00:07:24.940> pastor<00:07:25.505> in<00:07:25.650> the<00:07:25.682> Southeast<00:07:27.215> that<00:07:27.828> was<00:07:28.070> filmed<00:07:28.328> coming<00:07:28.715> out<00:07:28.748> of<00:07:28.828> a<00:07:28.957> motel<00:07:29.377> room.

00:07:30.571 --> 00:07:36.202
And<00:07:30.893> there<00:07:30.990> was<00:07:31.232> a<00:07:31.862> very<00:07:32.039> famous<00:07:32.426> ministry<00:07:32.830> couple<00:07:33.249> building<00:07:33.636> a<00:07:33.814> high-end<00:07:34.282> real<00:07:34.459> estate<00:07:34.863> resort<00:07:35.363> in<00:07:35.427> the<00:07:35.524> Carolinas.

00:07:37.025 --> 00:07:40.413
And<00:07:37.122> they<00:07:37.364> both<00:07:37.751> blew<00:07:38.074> up<00:07:38.558> and<00:07:38.977> Christian<00:07:39.526> funding<00:07:39.865> dried<00:07:40.252> up.

00:07:40.510 --> 00:07:43.643
And<00:07:40.591> that's<00:07:40.913> why<00:07:41.220> there<00:07:41.381> was<00:07:41.623> no<00:07:41.801> funding<00:07:42.188> for<00:07:42.285> me<00:07:42.511> to<00:07:42.608> do<00:07:42.769> something<00:07:43.092> in<00:07:43.238> Kenya.

00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:43.934
Hmm.

00:07:44.955 --> 00:07:47.143
Yes,<00:07:45.263> interesting<00:07:45.571> how<00:07:45.765> one<00:07:45.911> thing<00:07:46.316> impacts<00:07:46.900> another.

00:07:49.016 --> 00:07:50.968
So<00:07:49.903> we<00:07:50.000> had<00:07:50.097> to<00:07:50.145> decide<00:07:50.629> where<00:07:50.742> to<00:07:50.871> go.

00:07:51.274 --> 00:07:53.807
And<00:07:51.694> my<00:07:51.855> parents<00:07:52.258> and<00:07:52.403> family<00:07:52.549> were<00:07:52.581> in<00:07:52.613> Boston<00:07:52.968> and<00:07:53.016> my<00:07:53.065> wife's<00:07:53.226> were<00:07:53.307> in<00:07:53.371> the<00:07:53.468> Bay<00:07:53.597> Area.

00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:56.112
Area.

00:07:56.754 --> 00:08:09.154
And<00:07:56.834> I<00:07:56.914> looked<00:07:57.155> at<00:07:57.235> the<00:07:57.380> 2<00:07:57.636> economies,<00:07:58.438> kind<00:07:58.663> of<00:07:58.759> an<00:07:59.144> armchair<00:07:59.641> economist,<00:08:00.219> and<00:08:00.347> I<00:08:00.444> thought,<00:08:01.246> I<00:08:01.342> don't<00:08:01.486> know<00:08:01.583> if<00:08:01.727> I<00:08:01.871> trust<00:08:03.171> the<00:08:03.315> Massachusetts<00:08:04.278> miracle<00:08:04.775> with<00:08:05.754> digital<00:08:07.197> equipment<00:08:07.903> and<00:08:08.304> Wang<00:08:08.625> Labs.

00:08:09.251 --> 00:08:11.721
I<00:08:09.283> just<00:08:10.101> don't<00:08:10.309> know<00:08:10.406> if<00:08:10.486> those<00:08:10.694> companies<00:08:11.112> are<00:08:11.192> really<00:08:11.513> it.

00:08:12.315 --> 00:08:16.807
But<00:08:12.459> when<00:08:12.539> I<00:08:12.555> look<00:08:12.716> at<00:08:12.796> Silicon<00:08:13.197> Valley<00:08:13.662> and<00:08:13.742> I<00:08:13.775> see<00:08:14.224> HP<00:08:14.721> and<00:08:14.946> Apple,<00:08:16.165> they're<00:08:16.341> legit.

00:08:17.031 --> 00:08:22.598
I<00:08:17.127> get<00:08:17.368> why<00:08:17.609> they're<00:08:17.785> doing<00:08:18.090> well<00:08:18.331> and<00:08:18.491> are<00:08:18.571> going<00:08:19.149> to<00:08:19.277> continue<00:08:19.758> to<00:08:19.838> thrive<00:08:20.336> and<00:08:20.961> why<00:08:21.074> they're<00:08:21.218> a<00:08:21.282> hotbed<00:08:21.699> for<00:08:21.924> other<00:08:22.100> companies.

00:08:22.983 --> 00:08:25.999
That<00:08:23.143> would<00:08:23.304> be<00:08:23.464> the<00:08:23.544> society<00:08:24.972> economically<00:08:25.549> to<00:08:25.646> live<00:08:25.934> in.

00:08:26.844 --> 00:08:30.752
But<00:08:26.940> then<00:08:27.149> also,<00:08:29.031> my<00:08:29.257> wife's<00:08:29.530> from<00:08:29.659> Taipei,<00:08:30.141> Taiwan.

00:08:31.814 --> 00:08:36.873

00:08:45.237 --> 00:08:49.618

Mm-hmm.

00:11:14.778 --> 00:11:15.707
It's<00:11:15.082> not<00:11:15.242> so<00:11:15.403> different.

00:11:16.204 --> 00:11:24.503
Yeah,<00:11:16.684> that's<00:11:17.165> so<00:11:17.405> interesting<00:11:17.902> because<00:11:18.110> you're,<00:11:18.511> you're<00:11:18.607> mixing<00:11:19.152> like<00:11:20.273> very<00:11:20.530> spiritual<00:11:22.212> thinking<00:11:22.773> with<00:11:23.398> very<00:11:23.654> practical<00:11:24.135> thinking.

00:11:24.776 --> 00:11:37.931
Like<00:11:25.401> that<00:11:25.641> decision<00:11:26.138> of,<00:11:26.394> I'm<00:11:26.490> going<00:11:26.570> to<00:11:26.683> go<00:11:26.779> to<00:11:26.859> Silicon<00:11:27.259> Valley<00:11:27.644> because<00:11:28.285> I<00:11:28.301> believe<00:11:28.621> in<00:11:29.342> what's<00:11:29.487> happening<00:11:29.903> there<00:11:30.608> and<00:11:31.650> that<00:11:31.986> I'm<00:11:32.226> going<00:11:32.307> to<00:11:32.371> be<00:11:32.467> a<00:11:32.483> stockbroker<00:11:33.268> because<00:11:33.909> I<00:11:33.989> find<00:11:34.213> it<00:11:34.293> interesting<00:11:35.030> and,<00:11:35.575> and<00:11:35.639> I'm<00:11:35.703> going<00:11:35.832> to,<00:11:36.569> I'm<00:11:36.649> going<00:11:36.745> to<00:11:37.498> try<00:11:37.834> it.

00:11:37.995 --> 00:11:40.094
And<00:11:38.059> if<00:11:38.139> it<00:11:38.171> doesn't<00:11:38.459> work,<00:11:38.620> I<00:11:38.636> can<00:11:38.796> always<00:11:39.036> go<00:11:39.100> back<00:11:39.341> and<00:11:39.421> live<00:11:39.501> with<00:11:39.597> my<00:11:39.741> parents.

00:11:40.142 --> 00:11:46.003
Like,<00:11:40.238> that's<00:11:40.478> super<00:11:40.959> practical<00:11:41.520> thinking<00:11:42.064> for<00:11:42.161> someone<00:11:42.481> that<00:11:42.625> was<00:11:43.704> Not<00:11:43.929> very<00:11:44.106> long<00:11:44.347> before<00:11:44.910> over<00:11:45.215> in<00:11:45.376> Sudan.

00:11:46.196 --> 00:11:48.640
Like,<00:11:46.518> that's<00:11:47.884> really<00:11:48.190> interesting.

00:11:48.752 --> 00:11:54.374
I<00:11:48.785> remember<00:11:49.331> we<00:11:49.412> got<00:11:49.572> to<00:11:49.669> the<00:11:49.797> crossroads<00:11:50.392> of<00:11:50.521> Highway<00:11:50.859> 280<00:11:51.647> and<00:11:53.422> La<00:11:53.519> Cañada<00:11:53.987> Road.

00:11:56.407 --> 00:12:02.197
And<00:11:56.488> I<00:11:56.504> remember<00:11:56.827> there<00:11:57.537> were<00:11:58.424> irrigation<00:11:59.506> sprinklers<00:12:00.312> sprinkling<00:12:00.845> the<00:12:00.910> grass<00:12:01.344> at<00:12:01.425> the<00:12:01.570> Cloverleaf.

00:12:02.632 --> 00:12:04.290
And<00:12:02.729> my<00:12:03.195> wife<00:12:03.501> broke<00:12:03.759> into<00:12:03.984> tears.

00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:11.301
The<00:12:05.755> Cloverleaf<00:12:06.415> in<00:12:06.512> Silicon<00:12:06.979> Valley<00:12:07.301> gets<00:12:07.623> watered,<00:12:08.105> but<00:12:08.218> my<00:12:08.411> daughter<00:12:08.766> in<00:12:08.894> Sudan<00:12:09.377> couldn't<00:12:09.619> get<00:12:09.796> green<00:12:10.037> vegetables<00:12:10.665> a<00:12:10.730> month<00:12:10.955> ago.

00:12:11.457 --> 00:12:11.561
Yeah.

00:12:11.894 --> 00:12:13.563
Like,<00:12:12.488> what<00:12:12.761> a<00:12:12.889> disconnect.

00:12:13.708 --> 00:12:21.543
Yeah,<00:12:14.334> I<00:12:14.591> will<00:12:14.736> say<00:12:14.992> part<00:12:15.314> of<00:12:15.394> my<00:12:15.538> motivation<00:12:16.181> to<00:12:16.261> become<00:12:16.534> a<00:12:16.582> stockbroker<00:12:17.706> was<00:12:18.910> rational<00:12:19.729> and<00:12:19.889> part<00:12:20.130> of<00:12:20.275> it<00:12:20.435> was<00:12:20.917> unworthy.

00:12:22.763 --> 00:12:32.894
And<00:12:23.084> when<00:12:23.181> I<00:12:23.261> use<00:12:23.405> the<00:12:23.486> word<00:12:23.662> rational,<00:12:24.144> I'm<00:12:24.369> reminded<00:12:24.786> of<00:12:24.931> David<00:12:25.284> Senra<00:12:25.814> with<00:12:25.974> the<00:12:26.087> Founders<00:12:26.697> Podcast<00:12:27.355> who<00:12:27.451> says<00:12:27.837> that<00:12:28.399> we<00:12:28.495> think<00:12:28.784> we're<00:12:28.945> rational<00:12:29.587> creatures,<00:12:30.084> but<00:12:30.229> we're<00:12:30.550> actually<00:12:31.208> rationalizing<00:12:32.316> creatures.

00:12:33.071 --> 00:12:33.890
That<00:12:33.520> is<00:12:33.617> good.

00:12:34.355 --> 00:12:41.965
So<00:12:35.222> my<00:12:35.367> rationality<00:12:36.089> was<00:12:36.587> the<00:12:36.731> only<00:12:36.908> thing<00:12:37.213> I<00:12:37.309> know<00:12:37.550> how<00:12:37.647> to<00:12:37.871> do<00:12:38.112> besides<00:12:38.514> giving<00:12:38.915> other<00:12:39.140> people's<00:12:39.557> money<00:12:39.878> away<00:12:40.424> is<00:12:40.537> to<00:12:41.002> make<00:12:41.307> money<00:12:41.564> grow.

00:12:42.189 --> 00:12:49.232
I'd<00:12:44.756> made<00:12:44.868> a<00:12:44.884> number<00:12:45.334> of<00:12:45.414> investments<00:12:46.056> as<00:12:46.216> a<00:12:46.296> youngster<00:12:47.002> and<00:12:47.564> all<00:12:47.740> but<00:12:48.045> one<00:12:48.205> of<00:12:48.366> them<00:12:48.687> made<00:12:48.943> money.

00:12:49.409 --> 00:12:56.002
And<00:12:49.665> the<00:12:49.826> one<00:12:50.050> that<00:12:50.307> I<00:12:50.467> didn't<00:12:50.933> hold<00:12:51.254> on<00:12:51.430> enough<00:12:51.671> to<00:12:51.767> make<00:12:52.056> money,<00:12:53.355> I<00:12:53.500> lost<00:12:54.318> sub-5%<00:12:55.665> on<00:12:55.858> it.

00:12:56.163 --> 00:13:00.109
And<00:12:56.548> my<00:12:56.644> father<00:12:57.029> held<00:12:57.911> it<00:12:58.152> and<00:12:58.329> made<00:12:58.489> good<00:12:58.714> money<00:12:59.211> by<00:12:59.371> holding<00:12:59.676> longer.

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.671
So<00:13:01.200> I<00:13:01.377> was<00:13:01.698> confident<00:13:02.051> in<00:13:02.099> my<00:13:02.259> ability<00:13:02.612> to<00:13:02.724> help<00:13:02.885> people<00:13:03.142> make<00:13:03.446> money.

00:13:04.425 --> 00:13:17.588
But<00:13:04.569> I<00:13:04.650> remember<00:13:04.986> sitting<00:13:05.404> in<00:13:05.548> Karen<00:13:06.174> on<00:13:06.270> the<00:13:06.366> sofa<00:13:06.976> with<00:13:07.216> monkeys<00:13:07.618> running<00:13:07.874> through<00:13:08.099> the<00:13:08.179> trees<00:13:08.532> in<00:13:08.596> the<00:13:08.741> backyard,<00:13:09.944> thinking—<00:13:10.989> I<00:13:11.247> am<00:13:11.570> done<00:13:12.296> with<00:13:12.522> depending<00:13:13.006> on<00:13:13.248> other<00:13:13.425> people's<00:13:13.828> contributions<00:13:14.700> to<00:13:14.796> fund<00:13:15.119> my<00:13:15.280> family's<00:13:15.926> basic<00:13:16.555> needs<00:13:16.974> to<00:13:17.120> live.

00:13:27.323 --> 00:13:27.404
Hmm.

And<00:20:03.411> the<00:20:03.508> most<00:20:03.973> pathetic<00:20:04.518> moment<00:20:04.919> of<00:20:05.079> this<00:20:05.721> is<00:20:05.977> I<00:20:06.266> met<00:20:06.458> Christ<00:20:06.843> when<00:20:06.924> I<00:20:07.020> was<00:20:07.244> 11.

00:20:08.144 --> 00:20:14.151

00:20:52.877 --> 00:20:53.278
Yeah.

00:21:08.705 --> 00:21:09.202
Interesting.

I<00:22:48.252> wanted<00:22:48.525> to<00:22:48.669> manufacture<00:22:49.712> it,<00:22:50.755> but<00:22:51.060> God<00:22:51.461> wants<00:22:51.798> it<00:22:51.878> to<00:22:52.039> be<00:22:52.199> something<00:22:52.697> organic<00:22:53.483> that<00:22:53.643> just<00:22:53.964> as<00:22:54.109> I<00:22:54.205> care<00:22:54.526> about<00:22:54.847> people<00:22:55.232> and<00:22:55.328> talk<00:22:55.649> to<00:22:55.810> them<00:22:56.917> He<00:22:57.077> will<00:22:57.318> use<00:22:57.639> me<00:22:57.815> in<00:22:57.960> his<00:22:58.201> way,<00:22:59.019> and<00:22:59.099> I<00:22:59.179> don't<00:22:59.340> need<00:22:59.500> to<00:22:59.741> make<00:23:00.062> it<00:23:00.222> happen.

00:23:01.249 --> 00:23:02.276
This<00:23:01.490> is<00:23:01.650> amazing.

00:23:03.335 --> 00:23:04.041
It's<00:23:03.608> amazing.

00:23:04.314 --> 00:23:04.571
Yeah.

00:23:05.822 --> 00:23:15.931
I<00:23:05.838> think<00:23:06.063> the<00:23:06.143> heart<00:23:06.384> of<00:23:06.464> where<00:23:06.656> so<00:23:06.881> many<00:23:07.042> of<00:23:07.122> us<00:23:07.282> go<00:23:07.507> wrong<00:23:07.844> is<00:23:08.068> we're<00:23:08.181> so<00:23:08.486> focused<00:23:09.031> on<00:23:10.315> the<00:23:10.555> out<00:23:10.812> there,<00:23:11.277> the<00:23:11.374> things<00:23:11.679> that<00:23:11.775> we<00:23:11.935> can<00:23:12.032> accomplish<00:23:12.641> and<00:23:12.738> do,<00:23:13.524> and<00:23:13.764> we<00:23:13.877> miss<00:23:14.342> the<00:23:14.438> moments<00:23:15.048> that<00:23:15.128> are<00:23:15.225> right<00:23:15.385> in<00:23:15.465> front<00:23:15.642> of<00:23:15.770> us.

00:23:16.653 --> 00:23:17.150
It's<00:23:16.813> interesting.

00:23:17.696 --> 00:23:20.407
I<00:23:18.177> shared<00:23:18.498> this<00:23:18.658> with<00:23:18.755> a<00:23:18.835> group<00:23:19.011> of<00:23:19.076> guys<00:23:20.022> recently.

00:23:21.226 --> 00:23:24.579
You<00:23:21.258> know,<00:23:21.402> one<00:23:21.563> of<00:23:21.595> my<00:23:22.044> big<00:23:22.269> fears<00:23:22.654> when<00:23:22.750> I<00:23:22.766> was<00:23:22.910> younger<00:23:23.167> was<00:23:23.311> that<00:23:23.408> I<00:23:23.472> would<00:23:23.648> miss<00:23:23.969> my<00:23:24.130> calling.

00:23:25.398 --> 00:23:27.629
And<00:23:26.136> it's<00:23:26.297> very<00:23:26.553> naive<00:23:27.019> to<00:23:27.115> think<00:23:27.340> that.

00:23:27.822 --> 00:23:31.562
Like<00:23:27.966> my<00:23:28.062> wife,<00:23:28.544> when<00:23:28.688> I<00:23:28.785> told<00:23:28.929> her<00:23:29.009> that,<00:23:29.106> she's<00:23:29.330> like,<00:23:30.149> why<00:23:30.310> would<00:23:30.454> you<00:23:30.550> think<00:23:30.711> you<00:23:30.791> can<00:23:30.952> miss<00:23:31.176> your<00:23:31.273> calling?

00:23:31.658 --> 00:23:32.140
That's<00:23:31.819> so<00:23:31.995> weird.

00:23:32.236 --> 00:23:34.419
I'm<00:23:32.300> like,<00:23:32.461> I<00:23:32.493> don't<00:23:32.717> know,<00:23:32.942> but<00:23:33.584> I<00:23:33.681> thought<00:23:33.905> I<00:23:34.066> could.

00:23:34.563 --> 00:23:42.509
And<00:23:35.607> what<00:23:35.751> I've<00:23:35.912> come<00:23:36.169> to<00:23:36.265> recognize<00:23:37.357> is<00:23:37.613> that<00:23:38.480> I<00:23:38.496> was<00:23:38.657> defining<00:23:39.058> my<00:23:39.283> calling<00:23:39.764> as<00:23:39.861> something<00:23:40.406> out<00:23:40.647> there<00:23:41.225> that<00:23:41.370> I<00:23:41.386> would<00:23:41.530> go<00:23:41.707> do<00:23:41.883> someday.

00:23:43.071 --> 00:23:46.025
And<00:23:43.216> I—<00:23:43.456> and<00:23:43.553> until<00:23:43.954> then,<00:23:44.179> I<00:23:44.195> was<00:23:44.355> just<00:23:44.580> waiting<00:23:44.981> for<00:23:45.078> God<00:23:45.399> to<00:23:45.479> reveal<00:23:45.896> it.

00:23:46.105 --> 00:23:50.632
And<00:23:46.201> maybe<00:23:46.506> he<00:23:46.538> was<00:23:46.667> doing<00:23:46.843> some<00:23:47.004> preparatory<00:23:47.630> work,<00:23:48.031> you<00:23:48.128> know,<00:23:48.368> but<00:23:48.593> like<00:23:49.251> more<00:23:49.315> or<00:23:49.556> less<00:23:49.813> it<00:23:49.845> was<00:23:49.909> something<00:23:50.295> out<00:23:50.519> there.

00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:55.198
And<00:23:50.840> I've<00:23:51.001> come<00:23:51.258> to<00:23:51.338> see<00:23:51.579> that<00:23:51.675> my<00:23:51.820> calling<00:23:52.864> is<00:23:53.009> right<00:23:53.251> here<00:23:54.152> in<00:23:54.233> this<00:23:54.458> moment,<00:23:55.021> right?

00:23:55.601 --> 00:24:06.655
And<00:23:55.746> that<00:23:56.502> through<00:23:57.291> being<00:23:57.533> faithful<00:23:59.062> to<00:24:00.108> following<00:24:00.495> Jesus<00:24:00.897> in<00:24:01.219> the<00:24:01.300> moments<00:24:01.718> that<00:24:01.783> are<00:24:01.879> right<00:24:02.040> in<00:24:02.121> front<00:24:02.250> of<00:24:02.282> me<00:24:02.443> and<00:24:02.524> the<00:24:02.588> relationships<00:24:03.169> that<00:24:03.250> are<00:24:03.331> right<00:24:03.556> in<00:24:03.637> front<00:24:03.815> of<00:24:03.847> me,<00:24:04.847> other<00:24:05.025> things<00:24:05.735> will<00:24:05.896> happen<00:24:06.219> over<00:24:06.396> time.

00:24:06.703 --> 00:24:08.591
But<00:24:06.751> it's<00:24:06.816> never<00:24:07.106> about<00:24:07.429> the<00:24:07.526> things<00:24:07.768> that'll<00:24:07.929> happen<00:24:08.252> over<00:24:08.413> time.

00:24:08.655 --> 00:24:13.074
It's<00:24:08.752> about<00:24:08.897> the<00:24:09.043> things<00:24:09.204> that<00:24:09.301> are<00:24:09.365> happening<00:24:09.769> right<00:24:09.962> now<00:24:10.269> in<00:24:10.430> me<00:24:11.560> and<00:24:11.705> then<00:24:11.786> also<00:24:12.510> in<00:24:12.607> other<00:24:12.768> people.

00:24:14.684 --> 00:24:15.876
I<00:24:14.700> have<00:24:14.958> an<00:24:15.022> example<00:24:15.473> of<00:24:15.505> that.

00:24:16.391 --> 00:24:19.373
I<00:24:16.471> bet<00:24:16.794> anybody<00:24:17.180> listening<00:24:17.518> to<00:24:17.663> this<00:24:17.905> will<00:24:18.523> connect<00:24:18.844> with<00:24:18.924> that<00:24:19.165> too.

00:24:20.272 --> 00:24:33.916
And<00:24:20.449> one<00:24:20.754> of<00:24:20.850> my<00:24:21.011> examples<00:24:21.637> was<00:24:22.696> when<00:24:23.161> President<00:24:23.980> Reagan<00:24:25.088> was<00:24:25.264> preparing<00:24:25.697> to<00:24:25.746> take<00:24:26.051> office<00:24:26.548> in<00:24:26.949> 1979,<00:24:28.699> the<00:24:28.795> Heritage<00:24:29.181> Foundation<00:24:29.742> came<00:24:29.999> up<00:24:30.144> with<00:24:30.192> a<00:24:30.224> 1,200-page<00:24:31.444> paperback<00:24:32.150> book<00:24:32.391> called<00:24:32.712> Mandate<00:24:33.193> for<00:24:33.370> Leadership.

00:24:34.237 --> 00:24:34.301
Hmm.

00:24:34.558 --> 00:24:54.043
And<00:24:34.654> it<00:24:34.734> basically<00:24:35.216> laid<00:24:35.457> out<00:24:35.762> every<00:24:36.018> cabinet<00:24:37.607> key<00:24:37.864> executive<00:24:38.426> position<00:24:38.908> of<00:24:38.988> each<00:24:39.148> department<00:24:40.272> and<00:24:40.368> explained<00:24:40.914> to<00:24:41.074> the<00:24:41.155> people<00:24:41.781> before<00:24:42.134> Inauguration<00:24:42.840> Day<00:24:44.028> what<00:24:44.349> their<00:24:44.606> specific<00:24:45.328> assignment<00:24:45.890> was,<00:24:46.291> how<00:24:46.532> it<00:24:46.612> fit<00:24:46.853> into<00:24:47.158> their<00:24:47.334> department,<00:24:48.041> how<00:24:48.217> it<00:24:48.298> fit<00:24:48.538> into<00:24:48.795> the<00:24:49.084> overall<00:24:50.047> executive<00:24:50.705> branch<00:24:51.026> of<00:24:51.106> the<00:24:51.251> government<00:24:51.828> and<00:24:52.230> where<00:24:52.390> the<00:24:52.535> president<00:24:52.936> wanted<00:24:53.209> to<00:24:53.289> take<00:24:53.514> the<00:24:53.610> country.

00:24:54.477 --> 00:24:58.794
So<00:24:54.653> on<00:24:54.782> January<00:24:55.119> 21st,<00:24:55.905> everybody<00:24:56.306> hit<00:24:56.483> the<00:24:56.563> ground<00:24:56.948> with<00:24:57.430> their<00:24:57.510> feet<00:24:57.831> running,<00:24:58.088> so<00:24:58.248> to<00:24:58.344> speak.

00:24:59.516 --> 00:25:11.120
And<00:24:59.596> so,<00:25:00.078> you<00:25:00.110> know,<00:25:00.880> me<00:25:01.217> being<00:25:01.699> me,<00:25:02.100> you<00:25:02.260> know,<00:25:02.581> foolishly<00:25:03.143> enough,<00:25:03.689> I<00:25:03.705> thought,<00:25:04.491> well,<00:25:04.668> we<00:25:04.764> need<00:25:04.925> a<00:25:04.989> mandate<00:25:05.390> for<00:25:05.615> leadership<00:25:06.497> for<00:25:07.091> the<00:25:07.220> kingdom,<00:25:07.621> for<00:25:07.781> the<00:25:07.942> church,<00:25:08.504> for<00:25:09.643> America<00:25:10.767> today.

00:25:11.248 --> 00:25:18.759
Let's<00:25:12.050> figure<00:25:12.355> out<00:25:12.917> who<00:25:13.029> to<00:25:13.174> put,<00:25:13.896> you<00:25:14.073> know,<00:25:14.201> in<00:25:14.281> front<00:25:14.602> of<00:25:14.859> whether<00:25:15.100> it's<00:25:15.260> the<00:25:15.341> 7<00:25:15.742> mountains<00:25:16.448> or<00:25:16.560> some<00:25:16.865> other<00:25:17.106> paradigm<00:25:17.668> or<00:25:17.732> way<00:25:17.908> of<00:25:17.989> thinking<00:25:18.374> of<00:25:18.647> it.

00:25:19.097 --> 00:25:22.138
We<00:25:19.193> need<00:25:19.354> to<00:25:19.434> be<00:25:19.515> intentional<00:25:20.078> about<00:25:20.384> this<00:25:20.561> and<00:25:21.044> God<00:25:21.285> would<00:25:21.430> be<00:25:21.527> pleased<00:25:21.913> with<00:25:22.009> that.

00:25:22.878 --> 00:25:27.449
And<00:25:22.959> I<00:25:22.975> felt<00:25:23.860> like<00:25:24.021> the<00:25:24.118> Lord<00:25:24.327> said,<00:25:25.695> I<00:25:25.791> kind<00:25:26.033> of<00:25:26.113> do<00:25:26.339> that<00:25:26.580> actually<00:25:26.918> myself.

00:25:30.111 --> 00:25:31.030
That's<00:25:30.563> so<00:25:30.821> good.

00:25:31.143 --> 00:25:31.918
We're<00:25:31.369> good,<00:25:31.611> Ken.

00:25:32.030 --> 00:25:32.256
Yeah.

00:26:45.166 --> 00:26:45.311
Hmm.

But<00:26:47.091> all<00:26:47.252> we<00:26:47.348> did<00:26:47.589> is<00:26:47.749> pray.

We<00:26:48.567> didn't<00:26:48.776> have<00:26:48.953> a<00:26:49.033> Bible<00:26:49.354> study.

We<00:26:50.332> didn't<00:26:50.621> really<00:26:50.942> catch<00:26:51.263> up<00:26:51.423> with<00:26:51.600> each<00:26:51.824> other.

But<00:27:12.776> meeting<00:27:13.113> those<00:27:13.659> entrepreneurs<00:27:14.864> and<00:27:14.961> trying<00:27:15.395> to<00:27:15.523> understand<00:27:16.246> how<00:27:16.487> they<00:27:16.648> thought,<00:27:17.275> how<00:27:17.451> they<00:27:18.415> diagnose<00:27:19.138> problems,<00:27:19.701> how<00:27:19.861> they<00:27:20.022> design<00:27:20.585> solutions,<00:27:21.790> and<00:27:21.950> the<00:27:22.256> depth<00:27:22.657> of<00:27:22.818> the,<00:27:23.139> you<00:27:23.187> know,<00:27:23.316> let's<00:27:23.461> say<00:27:23.637> the<00:27:23.862> onion<00:27:24.280> peeling<00:27:24.762> going<00:27:25.148> on,<00:27:26.272> that<00:27:26.449> they<00:27:26.610> go<00:27:26.771> so<00:27:27.188> much<00:27:27.413> deeper<00:27:27.799> than<00:27:27.959> I<00:27:28.056> would<00:27:28.281> have<00:27:28.763> on<00:27:28.859> a<00:27:28.940> problem.

00:27:30.626 --> 00:27:31.482
Diagnosis.

00:27:31.724 --> 00:27:41.036
And<00:27:31.999> so,<00:27:32.225> so<00:27:32.515> when<00:27:32.596> I<00:27:32.774> left,<00:27:34.049> my<00:27:34.308> last<00:27:34.776> year<00:27:35.841> with<00:27:36.067> Morgan<00:27:36.390> Stanley<00:27:37.375> was<00:27:37.924> in<00:27:38.070> Dallas,<00:27:40.209> north<00:27:40.534> of<00:27:40.615> Dallas.

00:27:43.371 --> 00:27:52.412

Interesting.

I'm<00:28:17.032> like,<00:28:17.354> okay.

00:29:11.992 --> 00:29:20.103
Um,<00:29:12.970> but<00:29:13.596> when<00:29:13.772> he's<00:29:14.077> ready,<00:29:14.735> there's<00:29:15.039> a<00:29:15.136> special<00:29:15.922> door<00:29:16.419> that<00:29:16.563> he<00:29:16.820> will<00:29:17.044> open<00:29:18.249> And<00:29:18.346> there's<00:29:18.588> nothing<00:29:19.232> you<00:29:19.377> can<00:29:19.474> do<00:29:19.716> about<00:29:20.022> it.

00:29:20.699 --> 00:29:21.537
Stop<00:29:21.150> trying.

00:29:24.454 --> 00:29:24.986
What<00:29:24.616> a<00:29:24.632> word.

00:29:25.824 --> 00:29:26.374
It<00:29:25.905> was<00:29:25.970> amazing.

00:29:26.487 --> 00:29:29.561
And<00:29:26.811> he<00:29:26.892> says,<00:29:27.361> and<00:29:27.442> I<00:29:27.474> see<00:29:27.781> you<00:29:27.943> on<00:29:28.024> the<00:29:28.105> mountain<00:29:28.736> with<00:29:28.833> your<00:29:28.994> backpack.

00:29:30.838 --> 00:29:33.265
And<00:29:30.887> I'm<00:29:31.016> thinking<00:29:31.275> to<00:29:31.324> myself,<00:29:31.890> I<00:29:31.987> do<00:29:32.084> not<00:29:32.456> own<00:29:32.634> a<00:29:32.715> backpack.

00:29:33.682 --> 00:29:36.547
And<00:29:33.988> I<00:29:34.149> do<00:29:34.261> not<00:29:34.551> see<00:29:34.809> a<00:29:34.889> mountain<00:29:35.694> in<00:29:35.936> North<00:29:36.177> Dallas.

00:29:37.207 --> 00:29:39.220
Yeah,<00:29:38.189> there<00:29:38.350> aren't<00:29:38.978> any.

00:29:39.316 --> 00:29:39.960
I've<00:29:39.510> checked.

00:29:40.701 --> 00:29:43.926
So,<00:29:41.570> I<00:29:41.635> mean,<00:29:42.053> it's,<00:29:42.375> it's,<00:29:43.180> it's<00:29:43.390> so<00:29:43.503> flat<00:29:43.828> here.

00:29:44.056 --> 00:29:45.632
Literally,<00:29:44.299> we<00:29:44.381> go<00:29:44.462> over<00:29:44.722> a<00:29:44.787> highway<00:29:45.193> overpass.

00:29:45.697 --> 00:29:47.046
And<00:29:45.778> I<00:29:45.843> used<00:29:46.006> to<00:29:46.103> tell<00:29:46.331> my<00:29:46.493> kids,<00:29:46.899> hill.

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:51.406
I<00:29:49.086> just<00:29:49.573> don't—<00:29:49.979> I<00:29:50.011> don't<00:29:50.157> want<00:29:50.287> to<00:29:50.384> forget<00:29:50.725> what<00:29:50.871> a<00:29:51.017> hill<00:29:51.179> was.

00:29:51.617 --> 00:29:51.941
Yeah.

00:29:52.250 --> 00:29:57.586
We're<00:29:52.477> actually<00:29:52.801> on<00:29:52.964> a<00:29:52.996> nice<00:29:53.369> hill<00:29:53.612> where<00:29:53.693> we're<00:29:53.872> sitting<00:29:54.261> here<00:29:55.008> talking,<00:29:55.885> but<00:29:56.128> it's<00:29:56.857> fairly<00:29:57.278> flat.

00:29:57.731 --> 00:29:59.983
Anyway,<00:29:58.979> it's<00:29:59.432> very<00:29:59.675> interesting.

00:30:00.177 --> 00:30:03.433
COVID<00:30:00.744> hit<00:30:02.623> 2<00:30:02.818> months<00:30:03.158> later.

00:30:04.804 --> 00:30:19.438
And<00:30:05.860> while<00:30:06.039> people<00:30:06.527> all<00:30:06.689> around<00:30:06.917> the<00:30:07.015> country<00:30:07.811> were<00:30:07.909> losing<00:30:08.397> jobs,<00:30:10.608> a<00:30:10.770> major<00:30:11.094> 150-year-old<00:30:12.164> ministry<00:30:13.769> that<00:30:13.931> was<00:30:14.094> actually<00:30:14.499> losing<00:30:14.823> a<00:30:15.083> major<00:30:15.472> part<00:30:15.731> of<00:30:15.828> its<00:30:16.039> revenue<00:30:16.396> stream<00:30:17.109> and<00:30:17.206> its<00:30:17.352> initial<00:30:17.823> one,<00:30:19.018> Hired<00:30:19.341> me.

00:30:20.309 --> 00:30:20.857
Interesting.

00:30:20.986 --> 00:30:24.406
To<00:30:21.196> be<00:30:21.374> a<00:30:21.390> VP<00:30:22.003> of<00:30:22.164> biz<00:30:22.422> dev<00:30:23.132> and<00:30:23.471> innovation<00:30:24.019> for<00:30:24.197> them.

00:30:26.052 --> 00:30:26.826
It<00:30:26.133> was<00:30:26.278> just<00:30:26.455> crazy.

00:30:27.117 --> 00:30:29.812
Like,<00:30:28.327> I<00:30:28.472> wouldn't<00:30:28.682> have<00:30:28.730> thought<00:30:29.037> it<00:30:29.182> would<00:30:29.263> have<00:30:29.344> been<00:30:29.521> them.

00:30:30.151 --> 00:30:31.169
I<00:30:30.167> didn't<00:30:30.329> know<00:30:30.474> anything<00:30:30.797> about<00:30:31.120> them.

00:30:31.362 --> 00:30:36.191
I,<00:30:31.605> you<00:30:31.701> know,<00:30:33.381> and<00:30:33.542> other<00:30:33.639> people<00:30:33.865> were<00:30:34.108> losing<00:30:34.608> their<00:30:34.753> lives<00:30:35.173> or<00:30:35.319> losing<00:30:35.642> their<00:30:35.738> jobs.

00:30:36.933 --> 00:30:43.773
And<00:30:37.030> now<00:30:37.192> I<00:30:37.273> get<00:30:37.419> hired<00:30:38.634> and<00:30:38.797> I'm<00:30:38.910> in<00:30:39.056> Colorado<00:30:39.558> Springs<00:30:40.093> one<00:30:40.272> day,<00:30:41.730> you<00:30:41.909> know,<00:30:42.379> looking<00:30:42.606> out<00:30:42.768> the<00:30:42.865> window<00:30:43.173> at<00:30:43.254> the<00:30:43.335> mountains.

00:30:43.837 --> 00:30:46.365
And<00:30:43.902> I<00:30:43.918> looked<00:30:44.162> down<00:30:44.388> at<00:30:44.469> the<00:30:44.551> floor<00:30:44.810> and<00:30:45.383> There's<00:30:45.608> my<00:30:45.705> backpack.

00:30:46.574 --> 00:30:46.703
Wow.

00:30:47.492 --> 00:30:48.667
It's<00:30:47.620> just<00:30:47.717> what<00:30:47.813> the<00:30:47.894> guy<00:30:48.119> talked<00:30:48.441> about.

00:30:49.005 --> 00:30:49.182
Yeah.

00:30:49.423 --> 00:30:50.791
So,<00:30:49.648> that<00:30:49.874> lasted<00:30:50.292> a<00:30:50.517> year.

00:30:50.936 --> 00:30:56.264
And<00:30:51.242> in<00:30:51.419> that<00:30:51.725> year,<00:30:51.998> in<00:30:52.224> the<00:30:52.368> year<00:30:52.948> 2020,<00:30:54.490> Rodney<00:30:55.554> King<00:30:55.813> died.

00:30:56.764 --> 00:31:01.024
And<00:30:56.861> around<00:30:57.184> America,<00:30:57.603> I'm<00:30:57.749> seeing<00:30:57.975> 14-year-old<00:30:58.636> girls<00:30:58.959> that<00:30:59.056> are<00:30:59.136> simultaneously<00:31:00.007> announcing<00:31:00.411> they're<00:31:00.572> boys.

00:31:01.282 --> 00:31:01.379
Yeah.

00:31:01.702 --> 00:31:04.575
I<00:31:01.766> thought,<00:31:01.944> this<00:31:02.170> has<00:31:02.331> never<00:31:02.573> happened<00:31:02.896> in<00:31:02.976> human<00:31:03.299> history<00:31:03.638> and<00:31:03.718> it's<00:31:03.864> happening<00:31:04.122> in<00:31:04.203> size.

00:31:04.672 --> 00:31:05.334
How<00:31:04.768> could<00:31:04.914> that<00:31:05.092> be?

00:31:06.127 --> 00:31:06.288
Yeah.

00:31:06.612 --> 00:31:14.102
And<00:31:06.709> so,<00:31:08.956> just<00:31:09.134> trying<00:31:09.441> to<00:31:09.619> understand<00:31:10.249> it<00:31:10.492> with<00:31:10.669> Rodney<00:31:10.977> King<00:31:11.219> dying,<00:31:11.478> my<00:31:11.639> primary<00:31:12.124> concern<00:31:12.674> was<00:31:12.852> it<00:31:12.933> looks<00:31:13.078> like<00:31:13.240> we're<00:31:13.402> burning<00:31:13.660> down<00:31:13.790> the<00:31:13.842> neighborhoods<00:31:13.980> again.

00:31:14.171 --> 00:31:14.934
And<00:31:14.223> I<00:31:14.258> remember<00:31:14.414> that<00:31:14.465> from<00:31:14.552> 1968.

00:31:17.010 --> 00:31:18.568
It<00:31:17.283> didn't<00:31:17.507> seem<00:31:17.764> like<00:31:17.941> a<00:31:18.005> good<00:31:18.230> idea.

00:31:18.792 --> 00:31:18.953
Yeah.

00:31:19.210 --> 00:31:21.732
And<00:31:19.596> we're<00:31:19.788> really<00:31:19.949> going<00:31:20.045> to<00:31:20.158> just<00:31:20.399> repeat<00:31:20.800> the<00:31:20.880> same<00:31:21.137> mistakes?

00:31:22.487 --> 00:31:28.735
And<00:31:22.599> so,<00:31:22.824> I<00:31:22.840> started<00:31:23.322> sort<00:31:23.547> of<00:31:23.691> diagnosing<00:31:24.591> and<00:31:24.671> praying<00:31:25.233> and<00:31:25.619> thinking,<00:31:25.956> what<00:31:26.101> would<00:31:26.261> I<00:31:26.358> design<00:31:26.984> that<00:31:27.080> might<00:31:28.108> be<00:31:28.365> different?

00:31:28.783 --> 00:31:31.192
How<00:31:28.928> do<00:31:29.008> we<00:31:29.634> view<00:31:29.811> societal<00:31:30.357> problems<00:31:30.775> differently?

We're<00:34:31.930> still<00:34:32.220> not<00:34:32.461> feeling<00:34:32.799> it.

00:34:33.507 --> 00:34:34.826

00:34:45.287 --> 00:34:55.305
And<00:34:45.371> for<00:34:45.540> 20<00:34:45.893> minutes,<00:34:48.350> some<00:34:48.463> evangelicals<00:34:49.437> and<00:34:49.518> some<00:34:49.697> Holy<00:34:49.940> Spirit<00:34:50.394> people—<00:34:50.735> I<00:34:50.816> call<00:34:50.995> them<00:34:51.060> the<00:34:51.206> Jesus<00:34:51.547> people<00:34:52.017> and<00:34:52.099> the<00:34:52.196> Holy<00:34:52.439> Spirit<00:34:52.845> people—<00:34:54.040> 6<00:34:54.352> of<00:34:54.434> us<00:34:54.598> prayed<00:34:54.861> together.

00:34:56.820 --> 00:34:58.351

00:34:58.463 --> 00:35:05.329
One<00:34:58.689> was<00:34:59.527> that<00:34:59.672> the<00:34:59.898> Lord<00:35:01.526> would<00:35:01.751> resolve<00:35:02.235> the<00:35:02.396> bacterial<00:35:03.218> infection<00:35:04.330> while<00:35:04.668> we<00:35:04.829> stood<00:35:05.152> there.

00:35:06.346 --> 00:35:11.624
And<00:35:06.443> secondly,<00:35:07.637> that<00:35:07.799> the<00:35:08.041> glory<00:35:08.460> of<00:35:08.541> what<00:35:08.702> God<00:35:09.009> had<00:35:09.187> done<00:35:09.590> would<00:35:09.752> be<00:35:09.913> revealed<00:35:10.542> all<00:35:10.639> across<00:35:11.043> the<00:35:11.123> Bay<00:35:11.366> Area.

00:35:12.717 --> 00:35:12.942
Hmm.

00:35:13.924 --> 00:35:18.739
And<00:35:14.810> it's<00:35:15.213> funny,<00:35:15.406> his<00:35:15.857> brother<00:35:16.179> came<00:35:16.420> up<00:35:16.613> and<00:35:16.984> asked<00:35:17.145> what<00:35:17.306> we<00:35:17.338> were<00:35:17.467> doing<00:35:17.725> in<00:35:17.805> the<00:35:17.886> middle<00:35:18.143> of<00:35:18.208> our<00:35:18.369> praying.

00:35:19.768 --> 00:35:23.157
And<00:35:20.427> we<00:35:20.571> explained,<00:35:21.294> and<00:35:21.374> then<00:35:21.535> he<00:35:21.631> went<00:35:21.792> in<00:35:21.969> to<00:35:22.354> see<00:35:22.675> the<00:35:22.756> victim.

00:35:35.670 --> 00:35:35.798
Wow.

It<00:35:35.991> was<00:35:36.103> completely<00:35:36.971> resolved.

00:35:37.854 --> 00:35:38.304
It<00:35:37.886> was<00:35:38.015> gone.

00:35:39.605 --> 00:35:47.395
And<00:35:39.701> then<00:35:40.970> even<00:35:41.773> continuing<00:35:42.352> the<00:35:42.496> shock,<00:35:43.460> ABC<00:35:43.894> News<00:35:44.279> TV<00:35:44.745> covered<00:35:45.725> it<00:35:46.046> and<00:35:46.191> called<00:35:46.865> it<00:35:47.010> a<00:35:47.074> miracle.

No<00:35:48.373> way.

00:35:49.495 --> 00:35:50.376
In<00:35:49.639> San<00:35:49.831> Francisco.

00:35:50.472 --> 00:35:51.305
That's<00:35:50.584> amazing.

00:37:10.070 --> 00:37:18.362
I<00:37:10.087> think<00:37:10.231> it's<00:37:10.376> interesting<00:37:10.874> that<00:37:12.240> when<00:37:12.465> God<00:37:12.706> does<00:37:12.882> the<00:37:12.963> miraculous,<00:37:13.766> it<00:37:14.971> always<00:37:15.277> blows<00:37:15.534> up<00:37:15.678> all<00:37:15.791> of<00:37:15.871> our<00:37:16.016> theologies<00:37:16.899> in<00:37:17.446> one<00:37:17.606> way,<00:37:17.703> shape,<00:37:18.024> or<00:37:18.105> another.

00:37:18.426 --> 00:37:22.845
Well,<00:37:18.651> it<00:37:18.747> has<00:37:18.940> to,<00:37:19.229> because<00:37:19.551> it's<00:37:19.952> breaking<00:37:20.659> everything<00:37:21.061> you<00:37:21.157> understood<00:37:21.640> about<00:37:21.800> how<00:37:21.961> reality<00:37:22.523> works.

00:37:23.552 --> 00:37:23.632
Yeah.

00:37:23.809 --> 00:37:27.922
I<00:37:23.873> mean,<00:37:24.034> even<00:37:24.226> if<00:37:24.355> you<00:37:24.435> theoretically<00:37:25.078> had<00:37:25.255> space<00:37:25.657> for<00:37:25.898> it,<00:37:26.781> to<00:37:26.926> see<00:37:27.328> it<00:37:27.440> is<00:37:27.585> different.

00:37:28.227 --> 00:37:30.332
Yeah,<00:37:29.416> it's,<00:37:29.738> it's<00:37:29.979> interesting.

00:37:30.381 --> 00:37:48.238
There's<00:37:30.622> a<00:37:30.638> Chesterton<00:37:31.264> quote<00:37:31.521> that<00:37:31.618> I'm<00:37:31.714> gonna<00:37:31.923> botch,<00:37:32.469> but<00:37:32.807> he<00:37:32.903> basically<00:37:33.369> says<00:37:34.156> that<00:37:34.895> the,<00:37:35.537> the<00:37:35.634> mystic<00:37:36.244> or<00:37:36.324> the<00:37:36.420> poet<00:37:37.063> tries<00:37:37.384> to<00:37:37.528> get<00:37:37.865> his<00:37:38.171> mind<00:37:38.813> into<00:37:38.973> the<00:37:39.070> cosmos,<00:37:40.515> but<00:37:41.302> the<00:37:41.478> scientist<00:37:42.747> or<00:37:42.907> logician—<00:37:43.357> I<00:37:43.373> can't<00:37:43.501> remember<00:37:43.806> which<00:37:43.967> one<00:37:44.031> he<00:37:44.128> says—<00:37:44.304> scientist,<00:37:44.786> scientist<00:37:45.653> tries<00:37:46.038> to<00:37:46.135> get<00:37:46.600> the<00:37:47.002> cosmos<00:37:47.564> into<00:37:47.724> his<00:37:47.965> head.

00:37:50.149 --> 00:37:50.614
That's<00:37:50.309> right.

00:37:51.096 --> 00:38:07.439

00:43:21.124 --> 00:43:24.659
And<00:43:21.220> so<00:43:21.461> when<00:43:21.606> I<00:43:21.767> listen<00:43:22.104> to<00:43:22.265> them,<00:43:22.827> I<00:43:22.972> remember<00:43:23.550> what<00:43:23.695> they<00:43:23.872> care<00:43:24.273> about.

00:43:25.318 --> 00:43:33.861
And<00:43:25.398> so<00:43:25.639> then<00:43:26.105> turns<00:43:26.427> out,<00:43:26.764> you<00:43:26.860> know,<00:43:27.102> 30<00:43:27.551> years<00:43:27.809> of<00:43:27.873> that,<00:43:28.210> and<00:43:28.307> I'm<00:43:29.823> focus<00:43:30.208> on<00:43:30.304> something<00:43:30.705> new<00:43:30.945> and<00:43:31.009> I'm<00:43:31.105> trying<00:43:31.281> to<00:43:31.345> solve<00:43:31.666> a<00:43:31.810> problem,<00:43:32.868> I<00:43:32.932> kind<00:43:33.108> of<00:43:33.140> know<00:43:33.284> who<00:43:33.525> to<00:43:33.653> call.

00:43:34.165 --> 00:43:35.640
I<00:43:34.230> know<00:43:34.390> who<00:43:34.630> cares<00:43:35.111> about<00:43:35.415> that.

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.136
Yeah.

00:43:36.377 --> 00:43:39.517
And<00:43:36.537> who<00:43:36.617> has<00:43:36.793> something—<00:43:37.738> I<00:43:37.755> don't<00:43:37.883> mean<00:43:38.059> I<00:43:38.075> know<00:43:38.315> all<00:43:38.476> of<00:43:38.572> them,<00:43:38.716> but<00:43:38.796> I<00:43:38.812> know<00:43:38.956> some<00:43:39.197> of<00:43:39.309> them.

00:43:40.382 --> 00:43:45.718
And<00:43:40.478> so,<00:43:41.584> when<00:43:41.744> I<00:43:41.840> ask<00:43:42.081> them<00:43:42.225> to<00:43:42.385> gather<00:43:42.962> to<00:43:43.282> talk<00:43:43.587> about<00:43:43.827> an<00:43:43.939> issue<00:43:44.244> together,<00:43:44.740> they<00:43:44.949> tend<00:43:45.093> to<00:43:45.221> say<00:43:45.509> yes.

00:43:46.471 --> 00:43:50.781
If<00:43:46.807> Ken's<00:43:47.192> asking,<00:43:48.810> this<00:43:49.771> is<00:43:49.916> probably<00:43:50.108> not<00:43:50.396> all<00:43:50.492> bad.

00:43:51.149 --> 00:43:52.415
Maybe<00:43:51.454> I<00:43:51.534> should<00:43:51.774> give<00:43:51.934> it<00:43:52.015> some<00:43:52.175> time.

00:43:53.136 --> 00:43:53.889
It's<00:43:53.376> only<00:43:53.617> a<00:43:53.633> day.

00:43:54.017 --> 00:43:55.748
It's<00:43:54.178> only<00:43:54.418> 3<00:43:54.738> days,<00:43:55.363> whatever.

00:43:57.383 --> 00:44:01.414
So,<00:43:57.560> we<00:43:57.688> convene<00:43:58.186> people<00:43:58.973> and<00:43:59.455> we<00:43:59.551> have<00:43:59.792> 3<00:44:00.177> larger<00:44:00.595> category<00:44:01.157> groups.

00:44:01.478 --> 00:44:09.090
We<00:44:01.558> call<00:44:01.863> it<00:44:02.425> ACE<00:44:02.843> teams,<00:44:03.405> A-C-E.<00:44:05.075> We<00:44:05.236> want<00:44:05.476> academics<00:44:06.135> involved<00:44:06.617> because<00:44:06.922> they<00:44:07.163> ideate<00:44:07.966> particularly<00:44:08.785> well.

00:44:09.186 --> 00:44:11.193
They<00:44:09.330> can<00:44:09.491> identify<00:44:10.149> an<00:44:10.294> issue<00:44:10.567> or<00:44:10.695> problem.

00:44:11.579 --> 00:44:13.008
They<00:44:11.675> have<00:44:12.221> lots<00:44:12.542> of<00:44:12.622> ideas.

00:44:13.602 --> 00:44:16.541
They're<00:44:13.923> not<00:44:14.164> necessarily<00:44:14.806> the<00:44:15.192> executor<00:44:15.995> of<00:44:16.075> the<00:44:16.236> ideas.

00:44:16.974 --> 00:44:22.241
So,<00:44:17.039> the<00:44:17.119> second<00:44:17.456> group<00:44:17.617> would<00:44:17.761> be<00:44:17.857> the<00:44:18.018> communicators<00:44:18.982> or<00:44:19.062> creative<00:44:19.704> people<00:44:20.170> that<00:44:20.266> can<00:44:20.427> communicate<00:44:21.053> transformatively.

00:44:22.659 --> 00:44:23.815
Yeah,<00:44:23.093> so<00:44:23.462> good.

00:44:23.944 --> 00:44:27.139
I<00:44:23.960> think<00:44:24.136> of<00:44:24.201> Nancy<00:44:24.602> DeMoss<00:44:25.084> out<00:44:25.132> in<00:44:25.260> Mountain<00:44:25.549> View,<00:44:25.726> California,<00:44:26.449> and<00:44:26.529> there's<00:44:26.754> many<00:44:27.011> others.

00:44:27.974 --> 00:44:32.000
And<00:44:28.054> then<00:44:28.214> there's<00:44:28.455> the<00:44:28.840> entrepreneurs<00:44:29.738> who<00:44:29.899> put<00:44:30.203> legs<00:44:30.524> under<00:44:30.781> things<00:44:31.102> and<00:44:31.166> they<00:44:31.262> can<00:44:31.487> operate<00:44:31.920> it.

00:44:32.064 --> 00:44:33.075
They<00:44:32.161> know<00:44:32.305> how<00:44:32.385> to<00:44:32.546> run<00:44:32.786> things.

00:44:33.909 --> 00:44:47.818
The<00:44:34.054> entrepreneurs<00:44:34.872> and<00:44:34.952> the<00:44:35.193> communicators<00:44:35.995> are<00:44:36.075> probably<00:44:37.663> more<00:44:38.000> involved<00:44:38.481> on<00:44:38.562> an<00:44:38.706> ongoing<00:44:39.123> basis,<00:44:39.749> but<00:44:39.845> you<00:44:39.925> need<00:44:40.086> to<00:44:40.166> circle<00:44:40.631> in<00:44:40.727> and<00:44:40.872> out<00:44:40.968> of<00:44:41.032> those<00:44:41.273> academics<00:44:42.749> to<00:44:43.118> make<00:44:43.278> sure<00:44:44.016> your<00:44:44.241> diagnosis<00:44:44.979> of<00:44:45.059> the<00:44:45.219> issues<00:44:45.540> is<00:44:45.781> correct<00:44:46.342> and<00:44:46.647> up<00:44:46.759> to<00:44:46.904> date<00:44:47.128> and<00:44:47.209> that<00:44:47.305> kind<00:44:47.481> of<00:44:47.690> thing.

00:44:48.332 --> 00:44:49.727
So,<00:44:48.588> we<00:44:48.685> start<00:44:48.925> with<00:44:49.038> these<00:44:49.294> ACE<00:44:49.407> teams.

00:44:49.792 --> 00:44:53.433
We<00:44:49.872> start<00:44:50.177> with<00:44:50.289> a<00:44:50.353> project,<00:44:50.947> kind<00:44:51.219> of<00:44:51.316> a<00:44:51.476> BHAG,<00:44:52.198> Big<00:44:52.342> Hairy<00:44:52.840> Audacious<00:44:53.305> Goal.

00:44:53.866 --> 00:44:59.218
Like,<00:44:54.042> what<00:44:54.187> is<00:44:54.219> something<00:44:54.683> that<00:44:55.068> basically<00:44:55.629> people<00:44:56.045> don't<00:44:56.510> think—<00:44:57.327> they<00:44:57.472> don't<00:44:57.792> really<00:44:58.129> believe<00:44:58.385> it<00:44:58.513> could<00:44:58.690> be<00:44:58.850> solved?

00:44:59.395 --> 00:45:00.741
All<00:44:59.427> right,<00:44:59.875> that<00:45:00.132> interests<00:45:00.613> us.

00:45:01.318 --> 00:45:01.558
Yeah.

00:45:01.879 --> 00:45:02.888
Let's<00:45:02.295> look<00:45:02.455> at<00:45:02.536> that<00:45:02.776> one.

00:45:03.818 --> 00:45:07.119
And<00:45:03.962> then,<00:45:04.699> you<00:45:04.779> know,<00:45:04.859> we<00:45:04.939> think<00:45:05.180> of<00:45:06.061> what's<00:45:06.318> not<00:45:06.622> being<00:45:06.846> tried.

00:45:07.167 --> 00:45:13.320
So,<00:45:07.423> our<00:45:07.567> diagnosis<00:45:09.362> is<00:45:09.507> basically<00:45:10.067> 4<00:45:10.452> questions:<00:45:11.654> who<00:45:11.974> led<00:45:12.215> us<00:45:12.391> down<00:45:12.712> this<00:45:12.936> path?

00:45:13.497 --> 00:45:14.522
What<00:45:13.657> were<00:45:13.737> the<00:45:13.817> strategies?

00:45:14.955 --> 00:45:17.134
What<00:45:15.115> are<00:45:15.179> the<00:45:15.276> transfer<00:45:15.852> mechanisms<00:45:16.638> involved?

00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:18.945
And<00:45:17.743> who<00:45:17.920> failed<00:45:18.336> at<00:45:18.481> their<00:45:18.641> post?

00:45:19.523 --> 00:45:35.133
We're<00:45:19.619> not<00:45:19.747> trying<00:45:19.988> to<00:45:20.020> be<00:45:20.164> critical,<00:45:21.287> but<00:45:21.448> sometimes<00:45:21.913> you<00:45:22.009> have<00:45:22.234> to<00:45:22.314> look<00:45:22.507> at<00:45:22.635> fathers<00:45:23.197> or<00:45:23.245> mothers<00:45:23.710> or<00:45:23.790> school<00:45:24.175> teachers<00:45:25.683> or<00:45:26.084> local<00:45:26.405> clergy<00:45:27.127> or,<00:45:27.304> I<00:45:27.384> mean,<00:45:28.603> Scout<00:45:29.085> leaders,<00:45:29.614> like,<00:45:30.176> who<00:45:30.416> were<00:45:30.593> involved<00:45:31.074> in<00:45:31.138> these<00:45:31.315> people's<00:45:31.716> lives<00:45:32.261> and<00:45:32.325> yet<00:45:32.438> somehow<00:45:33.882> it<00:45:34.026> went<00:45:34.186> off<00:45:34.684> the<00:45:34.828> rails.

00:45:35.470 --> 00:45:35.534
Yeah.

00:45:35.951 --> 00:45:38.053
And<00:45:36.352> not<00:45:36.513> trying<00:45:36.689> to<00:45:36.769> blame,<00:45:37.106> but<00:45:37.235> trying<00:45:37.427> to<00:45:37.475> understand.

00:45:38.454 --> 00:45:42.160
Then<00:45:38.550> we<00:45:38.695> take<00:45:38.919> those<00:45:39.256> 4<00:45:39.641> diagnostic<00:45:40.299> questions<00:45:40.796> and<00:45:40.877> we<00:45:41.005> apply<00:45:41.326> them<00:45:41.502> to<00:45:41.663> design.

00:45:42.770 --> 00:45:44.855
And<00:45:42.946> it's<00:45:43.347> like,<00:45:43.652> who<00:45:43.893> could<00:45:44.069> lead<00:45:44.310> this<00:45:44.615> effort?

00:45:45.176 --> 00:45:49.818
And<00:45:45.353> that<00:45:45.514> comes<00:45:45.979> out<00:45:46.140> of<00:45:46.301> gathering<00:45:46.879> the<00:45:47.184> ACE<00:45:47.907> teams,<00:45:48.886> gatherings<00:45:49.368> together.

00:45:50.797 --> 00:45:51.889
So<00:45:51.038> who<00:45:51.215> could<00:45:51.391> lead<00:45:51.680> us?

00:45:52.403 --> 00:45:55.920
What<00:45:52.564> would<00:45:52.740> be<00:45:52.837> the<00:45:52.965> strategies<00:45:53.688> that<00:45:53.784> haven't<00:45:54.105> been<00:45:54.266> tried<00:45:54.651> that<00:45:54.700> seem<00:45:55.053> highly<00:45:55.390> promising?

00:45:56.819 --> 00:45:58.249
What<00:45:56.932> are<00:45:56.980> the<00:45:57.060> transfer<00:45:57.574> mechanisms?

00:45:58.361 --> 00:46:00.577
And<00:45:58.506> then<00:45:59.068> we<00:45:59.164> change<00:45:59.630> the<00:45:59.726> 4th<00:46:00.128> question.

00:46:00.626 --> 00:46:04.656
It<00:46:00.770> becomes,<00:46:02.199> who<00:46:02.456> does<00:46:02.697> not—<00:46:03.404> who<00:46:03.645> wants<00:46:03.982> us<00:46:04.143> to<00:46:04.287> fail?

00:46:05.010 --> 00:46:06.519
Who<00:46:05.090> does<00:46:05.331> not<00:46:05.572> want<00:46:05.684> us<00:46:05.813> to<00:46:05.925> succeed?

00:46:07.194 --> 00:46:08.864
Because<00:46:07.435> that<00:46:07.579> says<00:46:07.916> a<00:46:07.933> lot<00:46:08.222> about<00:46:08.463> the<00:46:08.623> work.

00:46:09.185 --> 00:46:09.265
Yeah.

00:46:09.442 --> 00:46:16.851
Not<00:46:09.667> that<00:46:09.828> we're<00:46:10.631> gunning<00:46:11.032> for<00:46:11.209> them,<00:46:11.433> so<00:46:11.626> to<00:46:11.706> speak,<00:46:12.156> but<00:46:13.438> we<00:46:13.534> need<00:46:13.630> to<00:46:13.774> be<00:46:13.934> aware<00:46:14.720> of<00:46:14.960> who<00:46:16.082> wants<00:46:16.354> us<00:46:16.498> to<00:46:16.643> fail.

00:46:18.261 --> 00:46:19.447
Who<00:46:18.421> are<00:46:18.501> the<00:46:18.646> entrenched<00:46:19.142> interests?

00:46:19.511 --> 00:46:21.354
Helps<00:46:19.767> you<00:46:19.864> identify<00:46:20.504> major<00:46:20.889> barriers.

00:46:22.508 --> 00:46:25.456
Yeah,<00:46:22.988> and<00:46:23.132> ironically,<00:46:24.094> it<00:46:24.174> comes<00:46:24.430> in<00:46:24.591> 2<00:46:24.815> groups,<00:46:25.152> I<00:46:25.232> think.

00:46:25.712 --> 00:46:35.055
There's<00:46:26.097> those<00:46:26.498> that<00:46:26.674> want<00:46:26.914> a<00:46:26.978> very<00:46:27.219> different<00:46:27.635> world,<00:46:28.501> and<00:46:29.078> once<00:46:29.318> in<00:46:29.398> a<00:46:29.542> while,<00:46:29.815> it's<00:46:29.959> those<00:46:30.199> who<00:46:30.295> want<00:46:30.520> a<00:46:30.536> similar<00:46:31.065> world<00:46:31.321> but<00:46:31.481> feel<00:46:32.587> they<00:46:32.683> have<00:46:33.020> some<00:46:33.308> ownership<00:46:33.725> of<00:46:33.885> a<00:46:33.901> certain<00:46:34.269> part<00:46:34.462> of<00:46:34.526> that<00:46:34.702> space.

00:46:36.272 --> 00:46:39.350
They<00:46:36.369> get<00:46:36.529> nervous<00:46:36.946> about<00:46:37.554> a<00:46:37.570> new<00:46:37.795> entrant<00:46:38.115> in<00:46:38.147> the<00:46:38.548> Yeah.

00:46:39.510 --> 00:46:56.358
So<00:46:40.536> it's<00:46:40.696> interesting<00:46:41.065> you're<00:46:41.257> talking<00:46:41.642> about,<00:46:42.780> you<00:46:42.876> know,<00:46:43.646> what<00:46:43.806> you<00:46:44.047> learned<00:46:44.383> working<00:46:44.688> with<00:46:44.848> entrepreneurs<00:46:46.211> in<00:46:46.323> Silicon<00:46:46.788> Valley<00:46:47.493> and<00:46:47.670> then<00:46:47.990> this<00:46:48.231> idea<00:46:48.535> of<00:46:49.016> applying<00:46:49.914> different<00:46:50.780> thinking<00:46:51.517> to<00:46:52.623> these<00:46:53.521> societal<00:46:54.002> problems<00:46:54.499> and<00:46:54.627> really<00:46:54.868> breaking<00:46:55.268> them<00:46:55.365> down<00:46:55.669> the<00:46:55.749> way<00:46:55.926> that<00:46:56.070> you<00:46:56.166> do.

00:46:57.192 --> 00:47:01.985
And<00:46:57.272> then<00:46:57.368> this<00:46:57.593> prayer<00:46:57.929> of,<00:46:58.635> you<00:46:58.667> know,<00:46:58.875> are<00:46:58.955> we<00:46:59.036> supposed<00:46:59.356> to<00:46:59.436> go<00:46:59.613> join<00:46:59.933> somebody<00:47:00.254> else<00:47:00.414> that's<00:47:00.575> doing<00:47:00.815> this<00:47:01.120> or<00:47:01.216> do<00:47:01.312> this<00:47:01.536> on<00:47:01.601> our<00:47:01.777> own?

00:47:02.498 --> 00:47:12.692
And,<00:47:02.578> you<00:47:02.611> know,<00:47:02.723> most<00:47:03.140> of<00:47:03.284> the<00:47:03.380> startups<00:47:04.406> that<00:47:04.808> have<00:47:06.092> shaped<00:47:06.606> our<00:47:06.751> modern<00:47:07.216> world<00:47:08.597> didn't<00:47:08.838> get<00:47:09.159> birthed<00:47:09.561> inside<00:47:09.978> of<00:47:10.058> a<00:47:10.187> corporation<00:47:11.327> that<00:47:11.487> existed<00:47:12.049> for<00:47:12.274> a<00:47:12.370> reason.

00:47:12.772 --> 00:47:15.791
And<00:47:12.852> that's<00:47:13.093> because<00:47:13.494> we<00:47:13.655> tend<00:47:13.960> to<00:47:13.992> get<00:47:14.153> stuck<00:47:14.538> in<00:47:14.602> our<00:47:14.715> old<00:47:14.859> patterns<00:47:15.277> of<00:47:15.421> thinking.

00:47:16.529 --> 00:47:20.848
I<00:47:17.332> love<00:47:17.493> that<00:47:17.733> quote<00:47:18.006> you<00:47:18.071> were<00:47:18.167> saying<00:47:18.456> about<00:47:18.729> we're<00:47:18.809> not<00:47:19.098> rational,<00:47:19.981> we<00:47:20.142> rationalize.

00:47:21.105 --> 00:47:22.213
We're<00:47:21.202> rationalizing<00:47:21.844> creatures.

00:47:22.326 --> 00:47:22.502
Yeah.

00:47:22.791 --> 00:47:23.867
Let<00:47:22.872> me<00:47:22.968> go<00:47:23.048> back<00:47:23.273> to<00:47:23.353> Vinod<00:47:23.610> Khosla.

00:47:23.931 --> 00:47:34.984
I<00:47:23.963> don't<00:47:24.140> want<00:47:24.220> to<00:47:24.252> interrupt,<00:47:24.718> but<00:47:24.814> just<00:47:25.039> for<00:47:25.135> a<00:47:25.152> moment,<00:47:25.617> Vinod<00:47:25.922> Khosla,<00:47:26.340> there's<00:47:26.565> a<00:47:26.581> little<00:47:27.801> social<00:47:28.122> media<00:47:28.411> post<00:47:28.732> where<00:47:28.796> he<00:47:28.909> says,<00:47:30.737> The<00:47:30.978> innovations<00:47:31.699> and<00:47:31.779> solutions<00:47:32.756> never<00:47:33.461> come<00:47:33.798> from<00:47:34.102> the<00:47:34.279> inside.

00:47:36.025 --> 00:47:40.496
An<00:47:36.121> insider's<00:47:36.859> not<00:47:37.227> positioned<00:47:38.285> to<00:47:38.509> come<00:47:38.701> up<00:47:38.910> with<00:47:39.070> radically<00:47:39.631> different<00:47:39.903> solutions.

00:47:41.249 --> 00:47:41.618
Totally.

00:47:42.115 --> 00:47:50.400
And<00:47:42.195> I<00:47:42.291> think<00:47:42.451> that's<00:47:42.692> why,<00:47:42.932> like,<00:47:43.237> even<00:47:43.397> though<00:47:43.557> you<00:47:43.653> see<00:47:43.974> a<00:47:44.054> lot<00:47:44.230> of<00:47:44.358> major<00:47:44.615> corporations<00:47:45.817> trying<00:47:46.217> to<00:47:46.377> build<00:47:46.618> startup<00:47:47.099> divisions<00:47:47.723> within<00:47:48.140> the<00:47:48.284> company,<00:47:49.406> it's<00:47:49.967> really<00:47:50.223> hard.

00:47:50.448 --> 00:47:55.415
And<00:47:50.528> what<00:47:50.624> they<00:47:50.768> essentially<00:47:51.265> do<00:47:51.409> is<00:47:51.569> bring<00:47:51.810> in<00:47:51.970> outsiders,<00:47:52.787> put<00:47:52.932> them<00:47:53.028> on<00:47:53.188> payroll,<00:47:53.813> and<00:47:53.893> then<00:47:54.053> hide<00:47:54.294> them<00:47:54.390> away<00:47:54.630> in<00:47:54.855> skunkworks.

00:47:56.058 --> 00:47:58.418
To<00:47:56.154> try<00:47:56.555> to<00:47:57.358> do<00:47:57.535> something<00:47:57.984> innovative.

00:47:58.514 --> 00:48:06.559
So,<00:47:58.659> it<00:47:58.803> totally<00:47:58.980> makes<00:47:59.237> sense<00:47:59.445> to<00:47:59.526> me<00:47:59.686> that<00:48:00.329> with<00:48:00.489> what<00:48:00.730> God<00:48:00.955> was<00:48:01.115> leading<00:48:01.372> you<00:48:01.517> into,<00:48:01.934> that<00:48:02.159> that<00:48:02.560> needed<00:48:02.882> to<00:48:02.978> happen<00:48:03.925> outside<00:48:04.487> of<00:48:05.386> an<00:48:05.467> existing<00:48:05.948> organization.

Go<00:48:35.164> work<00:48:35.485> on<00:48:35.662> this.

Wow.

00:48:43.759 --> 00:48:47.599

And<00:48:49.076> pitched<00:48:49.477> it<00:48:49.622> to<00:48:49.798> the<00:48:49.878> CEO<00:48:50.199> of<00:48:50.344> Bank<00:48:50.601> of<00:48:50.649> America,<00:48:51.708> who—<00:48:52.286> that<00:48:52.447> guy<00:48:52.768> did<00:48:53.024> say,<00:48:53.570> come<00:48:53.747> back<00:48:54.052> in<00:48:54.196> 2<00:48:54.437> weeks,<00:48:55.015> and<00:48:55.111> he<00:48:55.175> said,<00:48:55.817> we're<00:48:56.122> in.

00:48:57.085 --> 00:49:03.474
And<00:48:57.246> once<00:48:57.422> Bank<00:48:57.679> of<00:48:57.759> America<00:48:58.225> got<00:48:58.530> in,<00:48:59.766> it<00:48:59.846> seems<00:49:00.055> like<00:49:00.376> the<00:49:00.472> other<00:49:00.616> banks<00:49:00.857> kind<00:49:00.938> of<00:49:01.018> had<00:49:01.178> to<00:49:01.259> follow<00:49:01.708> because<00:49:02.222> this<00:49:02.462> was<00:49:02.559> going<00:49:02.703> to<00:49:02.799> be<00:49:02.896> a<00:49:03.040> big<00:49:03.281> deal.

Yeah,<00:49:05.271> that's<00:49:05.448> very<00:49:05.608> inspiring<00:49:06.170> to<00:49:06.250> me,<00:49:06.652> but<00:49:06.732> that's<00:49:06.957> unusual.

00:49:07.759 --> 00:49:08.642
Yeah,<00:49:08.096> very<00:49:08.257> unusual.

00:49:08.963 --> 00:49:16.025
More<00:49:09.204> often,<00:49:09.525> there's<00:49:10.119> a<00:49:10.183> thing<00:49:10.889> in<00:49:10.985> the<00:49:11.130> tech<00:49:11.371> world,<00:49:11.611> at<00:49:11.708> least,<00:49:12.013> where<00:49:12.574> somebody<00:49:12.895> comes<00:49:13.216> up<00:49:13.457> with<00:49:13.650> an<00:49:13.778> idea<00:49:14.500> and<00:49:15.062> the<00:49:15.159> firm<00:49:15.480> will<00:49:15.624> fund<00:49:15.977> it.

00:49:16.763 --> 00:49:37.976
The<00:49:17.228> company,<00:49:18.607> but<00:49:18.767> they<00:49:19.008> tend<00:49:19.184> to<00:49:19.328> try<00:49:19.569> to<00:49:19.729> co-opt<00:49:20.515> it<00:49:20.755> for<00:49:20.996> what<00:49:21.236> management<00:49:21.814> thinks<00:49:22.134> the<00:49:22.295> firm's<00:49:22.760> larger<00:49:23.177> interests<00:49:23.882> are,<00:49:24.620> not<00:49:24.924> realizing<00:49:25.582> that<00:49:27.265> the<00:49:27.362> Xerox<00:49:28.211> machine<00:49:29.414> or<00:49:29.831> GUI<00:49:30.616> or<00:49:30.713> something<00:49:31.659> is<00:49:31.899> intrinsically<00:49:32.797> valuable<00:49:33.519> in<00:49:33.583> and<00:49:33.743> of<00:49:33.839> itself<00:49:34.401> and<00:49:34.481> might<00:49:34.866> even<00:49:35.106> be<00:49:35.218> more<00:49:35.507> valuable<00:49:35.924> than<00:49:36.084> the<00:49:36.164> entire<00:49:36.742> sponsoring<00:49:37.447> company.

00:49:38.489 --> 00:49:48.629

00:49:49.721 --> 00:49:52.980
Can<00:49:49.769> you<00:49:49.881> talk<00:49:50.138> a<00:49:50.187> little<00:49:50.347> bit<00:49:50.459> about<00:49:50.845> the<00:49:51.808> projects<00:49:52.354> that<00:49:52.434> you're<00:49:52.515> working<00:49:52.852> on?

00:49:53.398 --> 00:49:53.607
Sure.

00:49:54.843 --> 00:49:57.155
Well,<00:49:54.955> I<00:49:55.068> hope<00:49:55.244> this<00:49:55.421> is<00:49:55.646> going<00:49:55.742> to<00:49:55.822> be<00:49:55.967> clear<00:49:56.368> to<00:49:56.465> the<00:49:56.561> listeners.

00:49:57.332 --> 00:50:04.381
So<00:49:58.151> we<00:49:58.375> are<00:49:58.536> basically<00:49:59.194> a<00:49:59.291> mindset,<00:50:00.543> and<00:50:00.864> turns<00:50:01.185> out<00:50:01.346> it<00:50:01.458> applies<00:50:01.988> to<00:50:02.101> many<00:50:02.566> different<00:50:03.674> applications.

00:50:05.151 --> 00:50:18.430
So<00:50:05.456> the<00:50:05.537> first<00:50:06.002> application<00:50:07.126> I<00:50:07.158> mentioned,<00:50:07.479> I'm<00:50:07.704> just<00:50:07.929> concerned<00:50:08.443> about<00:50:08.812> people<00:50:10.594> I<00:50:11.028> don't<00:50:12.329> want<00:50:12.441> to<00:50:12.585> be<00:50:13.164> vulgar<00:50:13.549> here,<00:50:14.528> but<00:50:14.753> let's<00:50:14.914> just<00:50:15.090> say<00:50:15.251> people<00:50:15.572> exchanging<00:50:16.198> healthy<00:50:16.535> body<00:50:16.857> parts<00:50:17.402> for<00:50:17.563> artificial<00:50:18.205> ones.

00:50:18.687 --> 00:50:18.880
Yeah.

00:50:19.650 --> 00:50:24.772
It's<00:50:19.747> just,<00:50:20.774> I<00:50:20.823> don't<00:50:20.983> see<00:50:21.176> a<00:50:21.272> world<00:50:21.529> that<00:50:21.674> that<00:50:21.898> makes<00:50:22.075> a<00:50:22.139> lot<00:50:22.316> of<00:50:22.348> sense<00:50:23.263> in<00:50:23.327> the<00:50:23.359> long<00:50:23.681> term<00:50:24.227> for<00:50:24.387> someone.

00:50:25.768 --> 00:50:34.535
And<00:50:25.993> as<00:50:26.089> we<00:50:26.234> got<00:50:26.394> down<00:50:26.490> to<00:50:26.571> root<00:50:26.731> causes,<00:50:27.277> we<00:50:27.438> realized<00:50:28.738> that<00:50:29.862> there's<00:50:30.103> no<00:50:31.291> serious<00:50:32.175> effort<00:50:32.512> in<00:50:32.656> the<00:50:32.720> medical<00:50:33.058> profession<00:50:33.555> to<00:50:33.636> teach<00:50:34.198> ethics.

00:50:36.684 --> 00:50:41.715
We<00:50:36.844> think<00:50:37.629> 100%<00:50:38.671> of<00:50:38.751> our<00:50:38.927> doctors<00:50:39.488> have<00:50:39.632> taken<00:50:39.889> the<00:50:39.969> Hippocratic<00:50:40.674> Oath<00:50:40.930> to<00:50:41.074> do<00:50:41.186> no<00:50:41.395> harm.

00:50:42.068 --> 00:50:43.414
I<00:50:42.132> think<00:50:42.292> of<00:50:42.356> that<00:50:42.468> as<00:50:42.613> a<00:50:42.629> negative<00:50:43.157> ethic.

00:50:43.494 --> 00:50:44.776

00:50:45.978 --> 00:50:52.019
If<00:50:46.202> they<00:50:46.378> haven't<00:50:47.180> got<00:50:47.420> a<00:50:47.660> negative<00:50:48.077> ethic,<00:50:48.558> there's<00:50:48.862> no<00:50:49.119> way<00:50:49.327> they're<00:50:49.423> going<00:50:49.567> to<00:50:49.663> build<00:50:49.888> a<00:50:49.984> positive<00:50:50.609> ethic<00:50:50.945> of<00:50:51.025> what<00:50:51.186> they<00:50:51.266> should<00:50:51.811> do.

00:50:52.532 --> 00:50:52.692
Yeah.

00:50:53.269 --> 00:51:01.489
We<00:50:53.429> discovered—<00:50:54.134> this<00:50:54.455> is<00:50:54.551> from<00:50:54.727> Farr<00:50:55.112> Curlin,<00:50:55.592> a<00:50:55.673> doctor<00:50:56.458> appointed<00:50:57.419> at<00:50:57.515> Stanford<00:50:57.996> Health—<00:50:58.733> excuse<00:50:59.038> me,<00:50:59.823> Duke<00:51:00.063> Health,<00:51:00.400> which<00:51:00.560> is<00:51:00.704> their<00:51:00.816> medical<00:51:01.185> school.

My<00:51:47.270> only<00:51:47.446> request,<00:51:48.813> and<00:51:48.893> this<00:51:49.134> wasn't<00:51:49.439> what<00:51:49.600> I<00:51:49.697> had<00:51:50.339> thought<00:51:50.581> with<00:51:50.888> A2B,<00:51:51.713> is<00:51:51.894> that<00:51:52.059> this<00:51:52.290> be<00:51:52.471> a<00:51:52.488> separate<00:51:53.114> outside<00:51:53.543> 501.

00:51:55.212 --> 00:51:55.869
He<00:51:55.437> asked<00:51:55.757> why.

00:51:56.735 --> 00:52:07.038
And<00:51:56.879> I<00:51:56.911> said,<00:51:57.135> because<00:51:57.520> I<00:51:57.536> think<00:51:58.241> the<00:51:58.273> need<00:51:58.641> is<00:51:58.673> so<00:51:59.058> substantial<00:52:00.003> and<00:52:00.083> the<00:52:00.244> likelihood<00:52:00.805> of<00:52:00.837> success<00:52:01.622> is<00:52:01.782> so<00:52:02.102> big<00:52:02.984> that<00:52:04.506> it<00:52:04.650> would<00:52:04.827> drain<00:52:05.451> A<00:52:05.548> to<00:52:05.708> B<00:52:05.948> to<00:52:06.108> have<00:52:06.333> to<00:52:06.573> run<00:52:06.829> this.

00:52:08.031 --> 00:52:17.405
And<00:52:08.127> secondly,<00:52:09.537> this<00:52:09.858> effort<00:52:10.194> needs<00:52:10.499> to<00:52:10.595> stand<00:52:10.980> on<00:52:11.140> its<00:52:11.380> own<00:52:11.621> and<00:52:11.781> raise<00:52:12.037> its<00:52:12.342> own<00:52:12.502> separate<00:52:12.902> funding<00:52:13.255> sources,<00:52:13.784> have<00:52:13.976> its<00:52:14.345> own<00:52:14.521> board<00:52:14.777> of<00:52:14.921> directors,<00:52:15.466> or<00:52:15.627> mostly<00:52:16.027> medical<00:52:16.364> people,<00:52:16.844> et<00:52:16.940> cetera.

00:52:17.790 --> 00:52:21.539

00:52:22.620 --> 00:52:25.397
And<00:52:22.718> so<00:52:23.294> I<00:52:23.376> serve<00:52:23.705> on<00:52:23.787> the<00:52:23.935> board<00:52:24.198> of<00:52:24.263> the<00:52:24.346> Hippocratic<00:52:24.921> Society.

00:52:33.814 --> 00:52:42.035
And<00:52:33.959> I—<00:52:34.297> we<00:52:34.394> just<00:52:34.571> did<00:52:34.716> a<00:52:34.780> board<00:52:35.038> meeting<00:52:35.344> yesterday,<00:52:36.068> and<00:52:36.149> I<00:52:36.229> think<00:52:36.632> we<00:52:36.859> are<00:52:37.102> at<00:52:38.027> 32<00:52:39.893> medical<00:52:40.348> programs<00:52:40.932> in<00:52:41.013> 5<00:52:41.564> countries.

00:52:42.833 --> 00:52:50.354
We<00:52:42.979> were<00:52:43.076> trying<00:52:43.400> to<00:52:43.481> grow<00:52:43.805> it<00:52:43.886> slow,<00:52:44.778> and<00:52:44.859> by<00:52:44.956> the<00:52:45.102> end<00:52:45.199> of<00:52:45.280> the<00:52:45.361> second<00:52:45.896> year,<00:52:46.074> fourth<00:52:46.415> semester,<00:52:47.047> we're<00:52:47.290> in<00:52:48.550> So<00:52:49.807> inspiring.

00:52:50.564 --> 00:52:52.481
And<00:52:50.693> let<00:52:50.870> me<00:52:50.902> just<00:52:51.095> make<00:52:51.208> a<00:52:51.272> comment.

00:52:52.561 --> 00:52:56.766

00:52:59.436 --> 00:53:02.307
I<00:52:59.597> asked<00:52:59.823> Al<00:53:00.065> one<00:53:00.242> time,<00:53:00.629> you<00:53:00.726> went<00:53:00.888> to<00:53:01.049> Emory<00:53:01.307> and<00:53:01.387> Harvard<00:53:01.758> Business<00:53:02.097> School.

00:53:02.581 --> 00:53:07.419
Why<00:53:02.807> was<00:53:02.968> your<00:53:03.065> first<00:53:03.452> project<00:53:04.097> at<00:53:04.193> Harvard<00:53:04.597> Divinity<00:53:05.080> School<00:53:05.467> creating<00:53:05.870> the<00:53:05.967> Chair<00:53:06.209> of<00:53:06.370> Evangelical<00:53:07.015> Thought?

00:53:08.458 --> 00:53:11.165
And<00:53:08.523> he<00:53:08.637> said,<00:53:08.945> you<00:53:09.090> can<00:53:09.269> start<00:53:09.820> at<00:53:09.901> Harvard<00:53:10.404> and<00:53:10.549> go<00:53:10.728> to<00:53:10.955> Emory.

00:53:11.846 --> 00:53:14.018
You<00:53:11.927> cannot<00:53:12.333> start<00:53:12.738> at<00:53:12.900> Emory<00:53:13.386> and<00:53:13.548> go<00:53:13.646> to<00:53:13.792> Harvard.

00:53:14.767 --> 00:53:14.959
Yeah.

00:53:15.408 --> 00:53:21.914
So,<00:53:15.632> when<00:53:15.728> we<00:53:15.888> launched<00:53:16.145> HipSoc,<00:53:16.850> again,<00:53:17.250> hearing<00:53:17.587> Al's<00:53:17.891> voice,<00:53:18.693> we<00:53:18.789> started<00:53:19.814> at<00:53:19.895> Harvard,<00:53:20.311> Stanford,<00:53:20.712> Duke,<00:53:20.952> Texas,<00:53:21.353> and<00:53:21.433> Notre<00:53:21.689> Dame.

00:53:23.051 --> 00:53:24.333
Now,<00:53:23.276> we<00:53:23.356> have<00:53:23.580> a<00:53:23.660> welcome<00:53:24.013> anywhere.

00:53:24.894 --> 00:53:25.728
So<00:53:25.263> interesting.

00:53:26.305 --> 00:53:43.154
You<00:53:26.401> and<00:53:26.449> I<00:53:26.465> have<00:53:26.625> talked<00:53:26.946> a<00:53:26.962> lot<00:53:27.122> about<00:53:27.378> this<00:53:27.923> over<00:53:28.083> the<00:53:28.228> years,<00:53:28.644> but<00:53:29.590> there's<00:53:29.766> so<00:53:29.926> many<00:53:30.167> areas<00:53:30.647> where<00:53:30.824> medicine<00:53:31.673> has<00:53:32.010> begun<00:53:32.570> to<00:53:32.795> become<00:53:33.356> something<00:53:33.676> else<00:53:33.772> entirely<00:53:34.638> where<00:53:34.894> we<00:53:35.118> are<00:53:35.279> using<00:53:35.695> it<00:53:35.936> to<00:53:36.176> change<00:53:36.561> our<00:53:36.737> bodies<00:53:37.138> in<00:53:37.282> all<00:53:37.394> sorts<00:53:37.779> of<00:53:37.859> ways<00:53:38.420> and<00:53:38.516> how—<00:53:38.740> and<00:53:38.900> many<00:53:39.141> of<00:53:39.285> those<00:53:39.525> are<00:53:40.408> unhealthy,<00:53:42.110> to<00:53:42.351> say<00:53:42.576> the<00:53:42.608> least.

00:53:43.555 --> 00:53:49.673
But<00:53:43.716> then<00:53:44.181> obviously<00:53:45.241> where<00:53:45.482> that<00:53:45.803> leads<00:53:46.269> to<00:53:46.831> over<00:53:47.072> time<00:53:47.714> is<00:53:48.533> we're<00:53:48.774> already<00:53:49.095> seeing<00:53:49.480> it<00:53:49.576> now.

00:53:49.898 --> 00:53:52.354
But<00:53:50.058> where<00:53:50.203> does<00:53:50.363> this<00:53:50.540> go<00:53:50.781> in<00:53:50.925> 10<00:53:51.198> and<00:53:51.327> 20<00:53:51.584> and<00:53:51.728> 30<00:53:51.969> years?

00:53:53.045 --> 00:53:56.079
So<00:53:53.430> that's<00:53:53.591> what<00:53:53.735> I<00:53:53.815> love<00:53:53.992> about<00:53:54.153> what<00:53:54.377> you're<00:53:54.474> doing<00:53:54.875> is<00:53:55.036> trying<00:53:55.277> to<00:53:55.517> recenter.

00:53:56.160 --> 00:54:05.007
And<00:53:56.304> I<00:53:56.320> think<00:53:56.641> we<00:53:56.866> have<00:53:56.979> a<00:53:57.107> tendency<00:53:57.605> culturally<00:53:58.873> to—<00:53:59.355> if<00:53:59.451> we<00:53:59.612> get<00:53:59.837> off<00:54:00.077> of<00:54:00.190> center<00:54:01.378> and<00:54:01.458> we<00:54:01.539> get<00:54:01.683> off<00:54:01.796> of<00:54:01.940> truth,<00:54:02.647> then<00:54:02.759> it's<00:54:02.903> like,<00:54:03.144> well,<00:54:03.931> who<00:54:04.011> knows<00:54:04.252> where<00:54:04.349> we're<00:54:04.445> going<00:54:04.541> to<00:54:04.750> end<00:54:04.910> up?

00:54:06.013 --> 00:54:07.618
Yes,<00:54:06.645> I<00:54:06.726> agree<00:54:07.050> with<00:54:07.213> all<00:54:07.310> that.

00:54:07.958 --> 00:54:15.939
And<00:54:08.104> I<00:54:08.185> would<00:54:08.347> add,<00:54:08.996> this<00:54:09.190> is<00:54:09.401> also<00:54:09.644> important<00:54:10.130> for<00:54:10.309> the<00:54:10.455> health<00:54:10.941> of<00:54:11.119> our<00:54:12.578> doctors<00:54:13.065> and<00:54:13.210> nurses<00:54:14.664> and<00:54:14.906> related<00:54:15.407> colleagues.

Whereas<00:54:56.586> the<00:54:56.683> system<00:54:57.961> has<00:54:58.122> gotten<00:54:58.852> somewhat<00:54:59.478> automated.

00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:05.880
We<00:55:00.376> have<00:55:01.740> policymakers,<00:55:02.847> lawyers,<00:55:03.329> and<00:55:03.409> accountants<00:55:03.987> at<00:55:04.067> the<00:55:04.211> top<00:55:04.548> of<00:55:04.644> this<00:55:04.869> bingo<00:55:05.350> pyramid.

00:55:06.554 --> 00:55:10.982
We<00:55:06.618> have<00:55:06.714> the<00:55:06.875> doctor<00:55:07.517> at<00:55:07.613> the<00:55:07.757> bottom<00:55:08.158> and<00:55:08.239> the<00:55:08.319> patient<00:55:08.720> sort<00:55:08.961> of<00:55:09.105> off<00:55:09.282> to<00:55:09.442> the<00:55:09.522> side<00:55:09.939> in<00:55:10.084> view<00:55:10.324> of<00:55:10.389> the<00:55:10.485> doctor.

00:55:11.448 --> 00:55:17.272
The<00:55:11.592> doctor<00:55:11.993> calls<00:55:12.394> up,<00:55:12.699> you<00:55:12.731> know,<00:55:12.828> this<00:55:13.052> patient<00:55:13.437> needs<00:55:13.614> the<00:55:13.758> following<00:55:14.641> service,<00:55:15.363> procedure,<00:55:16.037> supplement,<00:55:16.823> whatever.

00:55:18.171 --> 00:55:25.760
And<00:55:18.251> then,<00:55:18.652> you<00:55:18.684> know,<00:55:19.214> the<00:55:19.310> bingo<00:55:19.647> masters<00:55:20.128> at<00:55:20.257> the<00:55:20.353> top<00:55:20.674> call<00:55:20.914> down<00:55:21.219> and<00:55:21.267> say,<00:55:21.861> well,<00:55:22.038> we<00:55:22.118> have<00:55:22.920> a,<00:55:23.161> you<00:55:23.883> know,<00:55:24.027> we<00:55:24.107> have<00:55:24.364> a<00:55:24.444> code<00:55:24.765> for<00:55:24.926> that<00:55:25.182> or<00:55:25.311> we<00:55:25.407> don't.

00:55:25.808 --> 00:55:26.835
We'll<00:55:25.953> fund<00:55:26.225> it<00:55:26.306> or<00:55:26.450> we<00:55:26.675> won't.

00:55:28.036 --> 00:55:38.061
It<00:55:28.117> just<00:55:28.295> gets<00:55:28.538> kind<00:55:28.716> of—<00:55:29.363> sure,<00:55:30.140> it's<00:55:30.544> evidence-based<00:55:31.192> medicine,<00:55:31.629> it's<00:55:31.774> very<00:55:32.017> efficient,<00:55:33.416> but<00:55:33.594> I'm<00:55:33.739> not<00:55:33.836> sure<00:55:34.013> it's<00:55:34.206> leading<00:55:35.110> uniformly<00:55:36.158> to<00:55:36.303> the<00:55:36.480> health<00:55:36.964> outcomes<00:55:37.351> that<00:55:37.448> we<00:55:37.609> could<00:55:37.755> have.

00:55:38.884 --> 00:55:39.077
Yeah.

00:55:39.367 --> 00:55:45.602
So<00:55:39.932> a<00:55:39.948> second<00:55:40.496> unrelated<00:55:41.157> project<00:55:43.250> work<00:55:43.637> area<00:55:44.120> is<00:55:44.378> preventing<00:55:44.925> mass<00:55:45.248> murders.

00:55:47.731 --> 00:56:00.786
And<00:55:48.802> we<00:55:48.981> noticed<00:55:49.776> that<00:55:50.425> there's<00:55:52.031> a<00:55:52.193> lot<00:55:52.372> of<00:55:52.453> conversation<00:55:53.329> around<00:55:55.144> the<00:55:55.240> Second<00:55:55.561> Amendment<00:55:56.010> to<00:55:56.106> the<00:55:56.250> U.S.<00:55:56.571> Constitution,<00:55:57.468> to<00:55:57.709> gun<00:55:58.013> rights,<00:55:58.430> to<00:55:58.670> rap<00:55:59.055> music,<00:55:59.616> to<00:55:59.712> violent<00:56:00.273> movies.

00:56:01.780 --> 00:56:09.490
There<00:56:01.844> are<00:56:02.181> all<00:56:02.277> kinds<00:56:02.678> of<00:56:02.758> things<00:56:03.159> that<00:56:03.463> could<00:56:03.704> contribute<00:56:04.281> to<00:56:04.441> that,<00:56:05.868> and<00:56:06.605> it's<00:56:06.765> not<00:56:06.894> 100%<00:56:07.647> clear<00:56:08.368> if<00:56:08.529> there's<00:56:08.833> one<00:56:09.074> answer.

00:56:10.677 --> 00:56:22.662
But<00:56:10.917> we<00:56:11.077> learned<00:56:11.478> from<00:56:11.911> a<00:56:11.975> government<00:56:12.440> agency<00:56:12.937> that<00:56:13.097> probably<00:56:13.498> the<00:56:13.578> best<00:56:13.818> way<00:56:13.995> to<00:56:14.059> look<00:56:14.299> at<00:56:14.379> this<00:56:14.764> is<00:56:14.940> that<00:56:15.646> these<00:56:15.822> people<00:56:16.063> have<00:56:16.143> been<00:56:16.303> traumatized,<00:56:18.227> and<00:56:18.291> that<00:56:18.707> post-trauma,<00:56:19.813> maybe<00:56:20.214> pre-trauma,<00:56:21.826> they<00:56:21.987> feel<00:56:22.292> worthless.

00:56:23.258 --> 00:56:23.451
Yeah.

00:56:24.464 --> 00:56:31.107
And<00:56:25.590> there's<00:56:25.767> sort<00:56:26.008> of<00:56:26.089> an<00:56:26.314> evil<00:56:26.716> logic<00:56:27.150> at<00:56:27.295> play<00:56:28.260> that<00:56:28.485> if<00:56:28.646> they're<00:56:28.968> worthless,<00:56:29.467> other<00:56:29.692> people<00:56:30.110> must<00:56:30.351> be<00:56:30.432> worthless<00:56:30.914> too.

00:56:32.344 --> 00:56:39.997
And<00:56:33.308> a<00:56:33.340> subset<00:56:33.887> of<00:56:33.967> this<00:56:34.128> group<00:56:35.076> might<00:56:35.317> feel<00:56:35.654> that,<00:56:35.879> well,<00:56:36.040> I've<00:56:36.136> been<00:56:36.233> traumatized,<00:56:37.004> I<00:56:37.084> could<00:56:37.181> traumatize<00:56:37.824> other<00:56:38.049> people<00:56:38.531> and<00:56:38.643> maybe<00:56:39.254> check<00:56:39.511> out<00:56:39.640> that<00:56:39.899> way.

00:56:40.175 --> 00:56:43.796
It's<00:56:41.279> a<00:56:41.539> very<00:56:42.124> sad,<00:56:42.822> vicious<00:56:43.342> cycle.

00:56:45.745 --> 00:56:46.946
We<00:56:45.842> care<00:56:46.086> deeply<00:56:46.492> about<00:56:46.800> this.

00:56:47.369 --> 00:56:52.838
And<00:56:47.450> so<00:56:48.752> Again,<00:56:49.217> thinking,<00:56:50.195> well,<00:56:50.980> nobody<00:56:51.316> seems<00:56:51.717> to<00:56:51.797> have<00:56:51.941> solved<00:56:52.598> it.

00:56:53.063 --> 00:57:00.402
I<00:56:53.095> mean,<00:56:53.319> lots<00:56:53.784> of<00:56:53.864> money<00:56:54.185> being<00:56:54.441> raised,<00:56:54.938> lots<00:56:55.258> of<00:56:55.386> publicity,<00:56:56.204> lots<00:56:56.460> of<00:56:56.604> pain<00:56:56.989> and<00:56:57.165> care<00:56:57.886> about<00:56:58.207> the<00:56:58.287> topic,<00:56:59.488> but<00:56:59.585> what's<00:56:59.809> not<00:57:00.049> being<00:57:00.274> done?

00:57:01.315 --> 00:57:14.807
And<00:57:01.475> what<00:57:01.636> we<00:57:01.796> thought<00:57:02.116> was,<00:57:02.293> well,<00:57:03.254> nobody's<00:57:03.879> raving,<00:57:04.376> you<00:57:04.520> know,<00:57:04.760> raising<00:57:05.177> a<00:57:05.642> red<00:57:05.898> flag<00:57:06.459> or<00:57:06.603> holding<00:57:06.940> out<00:57:07.100> a<00:57:07.180> tray<00:57:07.645> of<00:57:07.821> raw<00:57:08.205> meat<00:57:09.487> when<00:57:09.680> somebody<00:57:10.128> goes<00:57:10.449> online<00:57:11.090> to<00:57:11.186> find<00:57:11.490> information<00:57:12.324> about<00:57:12.548> how<00:57:12.708> to<00:57:12.788> commit<00:57:13.093> mass<00:57:13.413> murder,<00:57:13.830> looks<00:57:13.990> for<00:57:14.214> role<00:57:14.407> models.

00:57:15.775 --> 00:57:20.975
Looks<00:57:16.016> for,<00:57:17.530> um,<00:57:19.542> manifestos,<00:57:20.524> whatever<00:57:20.830> it<00:57:20.911> is.

00:57:22.054 --> 00:57:22.859
So<00:57:22.279> we'll<00:57:22.456> do<00:57:22.601> that.

00:57:23.848 --> 00:57:34.623
So<00:57:24.138> we<00:57:24.299> created<00:57:24.701> a<00:57:24.798> website<00:57:25.361> on<00:57:25.426> the<00:57:25.683> darker<00:57:26.150> web<00:57:27.277> that<00:57:27.696> it—<00:57:28.001> while<00:57:28.339> somebody's<00:57:28.887> contemplating<00:57:29.611> committing<00:57:29.933> mass<00:57:30.336> murder,<00:57:31.221> our<00:57:31.382> hope<00:57:31.656> is<00:57:31.801> to<00:57:31.946> be<00:57:32.123> the<00:57:32.284> chief<00:57:32.670> website<00:57:33.169> in<00:57:33.314> the<00:57:33.540> world<00:57:33.895> that<00:57:34.041> they<00:57:34.219> find.

00:57:35.512 --> 00:57:39.183
And<00:57:35.658> then<00:57:35.836> the,<00:57:36.078> you<00:57:36.143> know,<00:57:36.240> the<00:57:36.385> tech<00:57:36.628> term<00:57:36.903> at<00:57:37.355> play<00:57:37.614> here<00:57:37.792> is<00:57:37.938> we<00:57:38.245> redirect<00:57:39.005> them.

00:57:39.862 --> 00:57:42.530
You<00:57:39.894> know,<00:57:39.959> think<00:57:40.137> of<00:57:40.217> that<00:57:40.428> ship<00:57:40.767> that's<00:57:41.091> 1<00:57:41.252> degree,<00:57:41.657> 3<00:57:41.899> degrees<00:57:42.287> off.

00:57:43.031 --> 00:57:48.102
We<00:57:43.080> just<00:57:43.505> want<00:57:44.655> Deflect<00:57:45.221> a<00:57:45.237> little<00:57:45.690> bit<00:57:45.868> from<00:57:46.742> what<00:57:46.920> they<00:57:47.163> wanted<00:57:47.568> initially.

00:57:48.765 --> 00:58:03.485
And<00:57:49.591> we<00:57:49.688> started<00:57:50.157> off<00:57:50.319> by<00:57:50.481> providing<00:57:51.112> videos<00:57:51.775> of<00:57:51.856> people<00:57:52.164> who<00:57:52.261> were<00:57:52.358> suicidal,<00:57:53.757> one<00:57:53.935> friend<00:57:54.259> who<00:57:54.420> planned<00:57:54.808> a<00:57:54.841> mass<00:57:55.245> murder,<00:57:56.587> and<00:57:56.749> the<00:57:56.846> night<00:57:57.396> before,<00:57:59.336> he<00:57:59.579> received<00:58:00.080> a<00:58:00.096> surprise<00:58:00.792> birthday<00:58:01.293> party<00:58:01.778> and<00:58:01.924> changed<00:58:02.328> his<00:58:02.506> mind<00:58:02.845> about<00:58:03.040> doing<00:58:03.431> it.

00:58:06.096 --> 00:58:06.212
Man.

00:58:07.395 --> 00:58:09.417
And<00:58:07.625> we<00:58:07.724> could<00:58:07.806> circle<00:58:08.217> back<00:58:08.447> to<00:58:08.612> Aaron<00:58:08.941> in<00:58:09.056> a<00:58:09.121> moment.

00:58:10.315 --> 00:58:22.157
But<00:58:12.332> that<00:58:12.720> effort<00:58:13.285> has<00:58:13.608> reached<00:58:14.270> a<00:58:14.576> quarter<00:58:14.915> of<00:58:15.012> a<00:58:15.077> million<00:58:15.561> unique<00:58:15.884> visitors<00:58:16.368> around<00:58:16.691> the<00:58:16.917> world<00:58:17.337> and<00:58:17.482> has<00:58:17.740> some<00:58:18.063> couple<00:58:18.370> hundred<00:58:18.773> of<00:58:18.870> them<00:58:19.000> that<00:58:19.129> have<00:58:19.922> chosen<00:58:20.408> to<00:58:20.635> go<00:58:20.894> into<00:58:21.137> Christian<00:58:21.606> counseling.

00:58:23.388 --> 00:58:27.339
And<00:58:23.469> you<00:58:23.501> think<00:58:23.809> about<00:58:24.132> it,<00:58:24.861> this<00:58:25.088> is<00:58:25.185> a<00:58:25.266> group<00:58:25.509> of<00:58:25.590> people<00:58:25.978> you<00:58:26.237> don't<00:58:26.626> want<00:58:26.723> to<00:58:26.885> upset.

00:58:28.388 --> 00:58:30.756
So<00:58:28.758> we<00:58:28.807> didn't<00:58:29.097> want<00:58:29.242> to<00:58:29.403> trick<00:58:29.886> them<00:58:30.063> into<00:58:30.224> counseling.

00:58:31.755 --> 00:58:40.964

00:58:41.725 --> 00:58:42.922
And<00:58:41.822> we<00:58:41.967> had<00:58:42.081> a<00:58:42.145> couple<00:58:42.388> hundred<00:58:42.631> do<00:58:42.793> it.

00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:43.505
Yeah.

00:58:44.072 --> 00:58:47.487
An<00:58:44.169> interesting<00:58:44.638> thing<00:58:44.962> is<00:58:45.383> I<00:58:45.545> don't<00:58:45.788> hear<00:58:46.095> as<00:58:46.257> often<00:58:46.516> about<00:58:46.743> mass<00:58:46.987> murders<00:58:47.362> now.

00:58:49.290 --> 00:58:53.686
And,<00:58:49.483> you<00:58:49.563> know,<00:58:49.708> there<00:58:49.773> was<00:58:49.966> a<00:58:50.046> time<00:58:50.368> a<00:58:50.449> year<00:58:50.610> or<00:58:50.642> so<00:58:50.916> ago<00:58:51.238> when<00:58:51.560> there<00:58:51.641> were<00:58:51.737> 2<00:58:51.898> or<00:58:51.979> 3<00:58:52.301> in<00:58:52.365> a<00:58:52.446> couple-week<00:58:53.106> period.

00:58:53.750 --> 00:59:01.245
And<00:58:53.976> interestingly,<00:58:55.280> that<00:58:55.425> was<00:58:55.538> a<00:58:55.602> 2<00:58:55.828> or<00:58:55.908> 3-week<00:58:56.327> period<00:58:56.874> where<00:58:57.132> our<00:58:57.229> funding<00:58:57.679> was<00:58:57.921> lighter<00:58:58.259> to<00:58:58.420> do<00:58:58.630> the,<00:58:59.398> the<00:58:59.479> social<00:58:59.888> media<00:59:00.133> programs<00:59:00.689> we'd<00:59:00.852> been<00:59:00.950> doing.

00:59:01.997 --> 00:59:05.258
And<00:59:02.095> then<00:59:02.242> the<00:59:02.340> funding<00:59:02.667> came<00:59:02.994> in<00:59:03.239> and<00:59:03.716> the<00:59:03.893> number<00:59:04.134> of<00:59:04.166> mass<00:59:04.439> murders<00:59:04.841> went<00:59:05.001> down.

00:59:05.740 --> 00:59:13.175
And<00:59:05.884> I<00:59:06.141> can't,<00:59:06.623> you<00:59:06.800> know,<00:59:07.892> allocate<00:59:08.309> credit<00:59:08.615> to<00:59:08.695> anybody<00:59:09.048> for<00:59:09.273> that,<00:59:09.514> but<00:59:09.739> the<00:59:10.060> coincidence<00:59:11.264> is<00:59:11.521> interesting<00:59:11.859> to<00:59:12.019> us<00:59:12.485> and<00:59:12.565> it's<00:59:12.726> encouraging.

00:59:13.850 --> 00:59:16.676
There's<00:59:15.376> probably<00:59:15.552> more<00:59:15.841> we<00:59:15.873> could<00:59:16.018> say<00:59:16.243> about<00:59:16.484> that.

00:59:16.725 --> 00:59:19.519

Mm-hmm.

00:59:23.807 --> 00:59:30.439
And<00:59:24.128> he's<00:59:24.353> just<00:59:24.529> made<00:59:24.690> himself<00:59:25.091> consistently<00:59:25.814> available<00:59:26.440> to<00:59:27.083> help<00:59:27.324> understand<00:59:27.886> the<00:59:28.528> psychology<00:59:29.668> of<00:59:29.765> a<00:59:29.829> mass<00:59:30.166> murderer.

01:01:36.653 --> 01:01:36.782
Wow.

01:01:37.537 --> 01:01:44.285
And<01:01:38.678> I<01:01:38.758> went<01:01:38.903> up<01:01:38.983> to<01:01:39.047> him<01:01:39.160> afterwards<01:01:39.722> and<01:01:40.028> I<01:01:40.365> told<01:01:40.526> him<01:01:40.670> what<01:01:40.767> I<01:01:40.831> had<01:01:41.008> in<01:01:41.040> mind<01:01:41.715> of<01:01:41.827> doing<01:01:42.132> a<01:01:42.277> conference<01:01:42.759> at<01:01:42.839> Harvard<01:01:43.193> that<01:01:43.578> A2B<01:01:43.803> would<01:01:43.916> sponsor.

01:01:45.249 --> 01:01:46.406
And<01:01:45.346> Tyler<01:01:45.828> listened.

01:01:46.487 --> 01:01:47.772

01:02:03.487 --> 01:02:03.583
Hmm.

01:02:04.708 --> 01:02:10.219
And<01:02:04.788> when<01:02:05.013> I<01:02:05.093> was<01:02:05.270> done,<01:02:05.511> he<01:02:05.656> looked<01:02:05.897> at<01:02:05.929> me<01:02:05.977> and<01:02:06.058> he<01:02:06.154> said,<01:02:06.379> Ken,<01:02:07.375> I'm<01:02:07.600> doing<01:02:07.921> a<01:02:08.002> conference<01:02:09.673> at<01:02:09.834> Harvard.

01:02:15.992 --> 01:02:16.121
Wow.

01:02:16.412 --> 01:02:17.609
It's<01:02:16.574> in<01:02:16.655> 2<01:02:16.897> and<01:02:16.978> a<01:02:17.043> half<01:02:17.302> weeks.

01:02:19.889 --> 01:02:22.576
So,<01:02:19.970> I<01:02:20.100> grew<01:02:20.196> up<01:02:20.276> 20<01:02:20.534> miles<01:02:20.791> from<01:02:20.936> Harvard<01:02:21.499> and<01:02:21.660> that<01:02:21.820> was<01:02:21.965> the<01:02:22.062> holy<01:02:22.303> ground.

01:02:22.625 --> 01:02:23.943
That's<01:02:22.850> where<01:02:23.011> all<01:02:23.091> the<01:02:23.123> Brahmins<01:02:23.734> were.

01:02:24.233 --> 01:02:28.851
And<01:02:24.699> I<01:02:24.860> was<01:02:25.037> the<01:02:26.951> 4th<01:02:27.224> or<01:02:27.289> 5th<01:02:28.255> level<01:02:28.561> down.

01:02:30.752 --> 01:02:33.378
I<01:02:30.816> never<01:02:31.138> dreamed<01:02:31.702> somebody<01:02:32.025> would<01:02:32.105> ask<01:02:32.266> me<01:02:32.315> to<01:02:32.379> speak<01:02:32.782> at<01:02:32.911> Harvard.

01:02:33.893 --> 01:02:39.271
I<01:02:33.974> felt<01:02:34.361> honored<01:02:34.538> to<01:02:34.683> walk<01:02:34.941> through<01:02:35.247> its<01:02:35.408> hallways<01:02:36.213> or<01:02:36.407> its<01:02:38.870> crosswalks.

01:02:39.609 --> 01:02:50.990
I<01:02:39.770> went<01:02:39.946> back<01:02:40.332> and<01:02:40.413> I<01:02:40.509> told<01:02:40.750> people<01:02:41.875> basically<01:02:43.483> that,<01:02:43.965> you<01:02:44.206> know,<01:02:44.672> Jesus<01:02:45.476> was<01:02:45.636> the<01:02:45.733> world's<01:02:45.974> greatest<01:02:46.376> revolutionary<01:02:47.163> and<01:02:47.260> he<01:02:47.356> seeks<01:02:47.662> healing,<01:02:48.938> and<01:02:49.585> here's<01:02:49.827> how<01:02:50.005> we<01:02:50.166> do<01:02:50.409> it<01:02:50.554> at<01:02:50.812> A2B.

01:02:51.604 --> 01:02:54.609
And<01:02:51.782> nobody<01:02:52.105> walked<01:02:52.428> out<01:02:52.574> of<01:02:52.606> the<01:02:52.751> room,<01:02:53.075> and<01:02:53.171> it<01:02:53.220> was,<01:02:53.495> it<01:02:53.543> was<01:02:53.640> like<01:02:53.802> standing<01:02:54.189> room<01:02:54.351> only.

01:02:55.510 --> 01:02:55.606
Hmm.

01:02:55.703 --> 01:02:57.397
It<01:02:55.751> was<01:02:55.880> a<01:02:55.945> great<01:02:56.510> joy<01:02:56.816> to<01:02:56.977> be<01:02:57.139> there.

01:02:58.122 --> 01:03:08.174
But<01:02:58.284> when<01:02:58.445> Tyler<01:02:58.929> introduced<01:02:59.880> me<01:03:00.945> just<01:03:01.574> out<01:03:01.735> of<01:03:01.768> the<01:03:01.913> blue,<01:03:02.461> ad<01:03:02.639> hoc,<01:03:03.567> He<01:03:03.728> used<01:03:03.984> 5<01:03:04.289> or<01:03:04.386> 6<01:03:04.787> words<01:03:05.493> that<01:03:05.670> formed<01:03:06.537> my<01:03:06.794> understanding<01:03:07.516> of<01:03:07.853> A2B.

01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:11.111
Like,<01:03:09.121> the<01:03:09.201> guy<01:03:09.667> is<01:03:09.827> just<01:03:09.988> so<01:03:10.068> articulately<01:03:10.726> brilliant.

01:03:11.449 --> 01:03:14.065
He<01:03:11.593> said,<01:03:12.652> Ken<01:03:12.893> leads<01:03:13.311> A2B<01:03:13.535> Ventures.

A2B<01:03:14.884> innovates<01:03:15.285> pathways<01:03:15.847> for<01:03:16.007> societal<01:03:16.585> health.

01:03:17.853 --> 01:03:18.158
Boom.

01:03:18.415 --> 01:03:19.121
And<01:03:18.495> I<01:03:18.511> went<01:03:18.656> up<01:03:18.688> to<01:03:18.752> him<01:03:18.832> and<01:03:18.913> said—.

01:03:19.153 --> 01:03:20.213
You're<01:03:19.234> like,<01:03:19.458> can<01:03:19.539> I<01:03:19.555> write<01:03:19.795> that<01:03:20.116> down?

01:03:20.277 --> 01:03:20.710
Can<01:03:20.421> I<01:03:20.502> have<01:03:20.678> it?

01:03:20.759 --> 01:03:21.818
No,<01:03:20.903> I<01:03:20.935> said,<01:03:21.160> can<01:03:21.320> I<01:03:21.465> use<01:03:21.738> it?

01:03:21.866 --> 01:03:22.653
He<01:03:21.898> said,<01:03:22.123> absolutely.

01:03:23.423 --> 01:03:29.523
So,<01:03:24.049> really<01:03:24.274> grateful<01:03:24.691> for<01:03:25.799> just<01:03:26.216> those<01:03:26.521> 5<01:03:26.762> or<01:03:26.858> 6<01:03:27.324> words<01:03:27.725> actually<01:03:28.142> informed<01:03:28.768> our<01:03:28.929> direction.

01:03:29.571 --> 01:03:30.855
Yeah,<01:03:29.828> that's<01:03:30.069> exactly<01:03:30.534> what<01:03:30.630> we<01:03:30.727> do.

01:03:31.176 --> 01:03:35.614
So<01:03:31.352> we<01:03:31.496> work<01:03:31.817> with<01:03:31.993> Tyler<01:03:32.474> and<01:03:32.874> Brendan<01:03:33.275> Case,<01:03:33.595> who<01:03:33.675> serves<01:03:34.140> on<01:03:34.236> my<01:03:34.797> advisory<01:03:35.342> board.

01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:38.979
It<01:03:36.383> turns<01:03:36.704> out<01:03:36.864> that<01:03:37.184> forgiving<01:03:37.697> is<01:03:37.841> a<01:03:37.905> fascinating<01:03:38.562> topic.

01:03:39.027 --> 01:03:47.423
I<01:03:39.107> learned<01:03:39.299> at<01:03:39.427> that<01:03:39.604> Harvard<01:03:39.988> conference<01:03:40.549> on<01:03:40.629> forgiving<01:03:41.190> that<01:03:41.302> I<01:03:41.366> spoke<01:03:41.831> at,<01:03:42.872> that<01:03:43.129> when<01:03:43.353> we<01:03:43.449> forgive,<01:03:43.946> it<01:03:44.074> doesn't<01:03:44.394> guarantee<01:03:44.971> economic<01:03:45.548> or<01:03:45.692> relational<01:03:46.654> restoration.

01:03:47.855 --> 01:03:47.999
Yeah.

01:03:48.176 --> 01:03:49.570
But<01:03:48.400> it<01:03:48.496> still<01:03:48.897> helps<01:03:49.441> you.

01:03:50.803 --> 01:03:53.880
And<01:03:51.701> it's<01:03:51.861> a<01:03:52.021> fascinating<01:03:52.822> topic<01:03:53.223> to<01:03:53.367> go<01:03:53.607> into.

01:03:54.168 --> 01:04:03.370
And<01:03:54.809> I<01:03:54.969> really<01:03:55.226> think,<01:03:56.171> well,<01:03:56.652> our<01:03:57.068> target<01:03:57.869> with<01:03:58.094> the<01:03:58.174> Harvard<01:03:58.414> School<01:03:58.590> of<01:03:58.670> Public<01:03:58.975> Health<01:03:59.696> Is<01:03:59.792> that<01:03:59.969> forgiving<01:04:00.514> be<01:04:00.659> adopted<01:04:01.156> by<01:04:01.397> people<01:04:01.718> globally<01:04:02.215> as<01:04:02.359> a<01:04:02.584> regular<01:04:03.065> habit?

01:04:04.204 --> 01:04:12.514
Yeah,<01:04:04.364> I<01:04:04.445> think<01:04:04.846> when<01:04:05.006> you<01:04:05.167> first<01:04:05.487> told<01:04:05.728> me<01:04:05.808> about<01:04:06.113> it,<01:04:06.193> you<01:04:06.225> said<01:04:06.530> something<01:04:07.156> like<01:04:08.054> forgiveness<01:04:09.097> or<01:04:09.161> the<01:04:09.257> lack<01:04:09.578> thereof<01:04:10.204> is<01:04:10.316> a<01:04:10.445> public<01:04:10.765> health<01:04:11.006> crisis<01:04:11.840> or<01:04:11.904> something<01:04:12.193> like<01:04:12.370> that.

01:04:12.851 --> 01:04:14.311
And<01:04:13.027> I<01:04:13.108> was<01:04:13.284> like,<01:04:13.974> whoa.

01:04:14.696 --> 01:04:24.850
And<01:04:15.514> the<01:04:15.610> more<01:04:15.899> I've<01:04:16.075> thought<01:04:16.252> about<01:04:16.460> that<01:04:16.637> over<01:04:16.797> the<01:04:16.942> years,<01:04:17.262> I<01:04:17.343> can<01:04:17.664> absolutely<01:04:18.418> see<01:04:18.803> how<01:04:18.963> so<01:04:19.300> many<01:04:19.524> people's<01:04:19.909> lives<01:04:20.407> are<01:04:20.487> stuck<01:04:21.915> and<01:04:22.396> they<01:04:22.653> are<01:04:23.375> miserable<01:04:23.936> and<01:04:24.097> in<01:04:24.257> depression.

01:04:24.963 --> 01:04:28.041
And<01:04:25.123> I<01:04:25.139> mean,<01:04:25.268> I'm<01:04:25.364> not<01:04:25.524> saying<01:04:25.861> that<01:04:26.406> all<01:04:26.583> of<01:04:26.663> that<01:04:26.887> is<01:04:26.983> caused<01:04:27.448> just<01:04:27.705> by<01:04:27.865> that.

01:04:28.506 --> 01:04:32.001
But<01:04:28.747> there<01:04:28.891> seems<01:04:29.308> to<01:04:29.388> be<01:04:29.532> this<01:04:29.709> consistent<01:04:30.350> root<01:04:30.815> of<01:04:31.215> a<01:04:31.247> lack<01:04:31.472> of<01:04:31.552> forgiveness.

01:04:32.193 --> 01:04:39.952
And<01:04:32.273> then<01:04:32.418> obviously<01:04:32.690> we<01:04:32.834> look<01:04:32.995> at<01:04:33.075> the<01:04:33.155> teachings<01:04:33.556> of<01:04:33.700> Jesus<01:04:34.357> about<01:04:34.694> forgiveness<01:04:35.319> and<01:04:35.383> we're<01:04:35.479> like,<01:04:36.666> maybe<01:04:37.002> we<01:04:37.227> have<01:04:37.403> not<01:04:37.644> understood<01:04:38.189> how<01:04:38.269> important<01:04:38.686> this<01:04:38.926> is<01:04:39.391> for<01:04:39.712> us.

01:04:40.353 --> 01:04:52.279
And<01:04:40.994> the<01:04:41.154> idea<01:04:41.475> of<01:04:41.651> taking<01:04:42.036> that<01:04:42.276> at<01:04:42.308> scale<01:04:43.078> and<01:04:43.158> then<01:04:43.334> saying<01:04:44.601> as<01:04:44.681> a<01:04:44.713> society,<01:04:45.739> if<01:04:45.883> we<01:04:46.044> practice<01:04:46.621> forgiveness,<01:04:47.727> how<01:04:47.839> would<01:04:47.983> that<01:04:48.288> impact<01:04:49.811> every<01:04:50.067> area<01:04:50.772> of<01:04:50.869> our,<01:04:51.574> of<01:04:51.654> our<01:04:51.830> country?

01:04:52.808 --> 01:04:53.481
It's<01:04:52.952> pretty<01:04:53.113> amazing.

01:04:53.834 --> 01:04:56.718
Yeah,<01:04:54.234> I<01:04:54.315> grew<01:04:54.539> up<01:04:54.699> with<01:04:54.779> the<01:04:54.859> expression,<01:04:55.500> keep<01:04:55.741> your<01:04:55.821> accounts<01:04:56.382> short.

01:04:57.183 --> 01:04:57.616
Yeah.

01:04:58.561 --> 01:05:01.766
You<01:04:58.657> know,<01:04:59.042> Jesus<01:04:59.426> said,<01:04:59.843> you<01:04:59.939> know,<01:05:00.019> don't<01:05:00.228> go<01:05:00.324> to<01:05:00.404> sleep<01:05:00.788> without<01:05:01.029> having<01:05:01.269> handled<01:05:01.622> it.

01:05:01.926 --> 01:05:02.199
Yeah.

01:05:02.888 --> 01:05:11.894
It's<01:05:03.529> interesting,<01:05:03.993> at<01:05:04.090> that<01:05:04.394> Harvard<01:05:04.731> conference<01:05:06.077> on<01:05:06.173> forgiving,<01:05:07.455> the<01:05:07.759> then<01:05:08.400> US<01:05:09.298> Surgeon<01:05:09.922> General<01:05:10.804> came<01:05:11.124> and<01:05:11.172> spoke<01:05:11.557> to<01:05:11.765> us.

01:05:12.983 --> 01:05:17.839
And<01:05:13.127> what<01:05:13.208> he<01:05:13.240> spoke<01:05:13.624> to<01:05:13.865> us<01:05:14.025> about,<01:05:14.265> John,<01:05:15.291> was<01:05:15.467> the<01:05:15.627> epidemic<01:05:16.332> of<01:05:17.150> loneliness.

01:05:18.756 --> 01:05:22.204
But<01:05:18.869> he<01:05:18.998> wanted<01:05:19.209> to<01:05:19.241> speak<01:05:19.581> about<01:05:19.889> loneliness<01:05:20.763> at<01:05:20.844> a<01:05:20.925> global<01:05:21.184> conference<01:05:21.653> on<01:05:21.734> forgiveness.

01:05:23.353 --> 01:05:34.341
Is<01:05:23.596> it<01:05:23.693> because<01:05:24.584> so<01:05:24.843> much<01:05:25.215> of<01:05:25.701> people's<01:05:26.041> loneliness<01:05:26.607> stems<01:05:28.347> from<01:05:28.444> the<01:05:28.525> fact<01:05:28.849> that<01:05:29.011> they<01:05:29.578> have<01:05:30.210> been<01:05:30.453> hurt<01:05:30.777> and<01:05:31.587> can't<01:05:31.830> forgive<01:05:32.251> and<01:05:32.299> have<01:05:32.413> broken<01:05:32.721> relationships<01:05:33.693> and<01:05:33.741> stuff<01:05:33.936> like<01:05:34.114> that?

01:05:34.746 --> 01:05:36.868
I<01:05:34.827> think<01:05:35.005> it<01:05:35.572> has<01:05:35.815> to<01:05:35.961> be<01:05:36.058> a<01:05:36.139> key<01:05:36.366> contributor.

01:05:36.949 --> 01:05:40.241
I<01:05:36.981> don't<01:05:37.095> have<01:05:37.192> any<01:05:37.274> numbers<01:05:37.665> on<01:05:37.763> that,<01:05:38.073> but<01:05:38.497> I'd<01:05:39.393> put<01:05:39.556> some<01:05:39.736> money<01:05:40.029> on<01:05:40.111> that.

01:05:40.616 --> 01:05:41.546
Makes<01:05:40.861> so<01:05:41.040> much<01:05:41.203> sense.

01:05:43.240 --> 01:05:43.354
Yeah.

01:05:43.762 --> 01:05:44.512
You<01:05:43.827> know,<01:05:43.909> it's<01:05:44.072> interesting.

01:05:44.578 --> 01:05:52.483
I've<01:05:44.822> learned<01:05:45.051> so<01:05:45.279> much<01:05:45.475> about<01:05:45.654> the<01:05:45.785> Forgiving<01:05:46.209> Project<01:05:46.699> by<01:05:46.862> talking<01:05:47.221> to<01:05:47.417> Uber<01:05:47.662> drivers<01:05:47.906> and<01:05:47.988> baristas<01:05:48.598> And<01:05:50.813> I<01:05:50.894> heard<01:05:51.054> some<01:05:51.135> of<01:05:51.231> the<01:05:51.295> most<01:05:51.697> beautiful<01:05:52.178> things.

01:05:53.463 --> 01:06:01.507
I<01:05:53.479> remember<01:05:53.800> there<01:05:53.896> was<01:05:54.041> a,<01:05:54.346> uh,<01:05:54.667> out<01:05:54.828> in<01:05:54.908> Cambridge,<01:05:55.309> Mass.,<01:05:55.647> there<01:05:55.791> was<01:05:55.952> a<01:05:57.076> 30-year-old,<01:05:58.360> uh,<01:05:59.002> I<01:05:59.018> don't<01:05:59.532> know,<01:05:59.661> Kurdish<01:06:00.223> or<01:06:00.367> Turkish<01:06:00.865> driver.

01:06:02.695 --> 01:06:10.900
And,<01:06:03.097> uh,<01:06:03.434> I<01:06:03.514> asked<01:06:03.819> him,<01:06:04.381> and<01:06:04.462> the<01:06:04.542> question<01:06:04.863> I<01:06:04.879> would<01:06:05.024> ask<01:06:05.264> all<01:06:05.297> these<01:06:05.521> people<01:06:05.842> is,<01:06:06.148> how<01:06:06.308> would<01:06:06.388> the<01:06:06.485> world<01:06:06.726> be<01:06:07.127> different,<01:06:07.609> do<01:06:07.673> you<01:06:07.769> think,<01:06:08.155> if,<01:06:08.556> if<01:06:09.696> people<01:06:10.001> forgave<01:06:10.643> more?

01:06:12.265 --> 01:06:19.458
And<01:06:12.329> this<01:06:12.570> 30-year-old<01:06:13.245> said,<01:06:14.593> Well,<01:06:16.199> to<01:06:16.360> forgive<01:06:16.922> more<01:06:17.162> requires<01:06:17.805> a<01:06:17.869> spirit<01:06:18.431> of<01:06:18.591> generosity.

01:06:20.775 --> 01:06:22.236
I'm<01:06:20.855> like,<01:06:21.016> that<01:06:21.193> is<01:06:21.401> astonishing.

01:06:23.007 --> 01:06:26.684

Very<01:06:27.198> simple<01:06:27.599> and<01:06:27.696> straightforward,<01:06:28.563> but<01:06:28.964> I<01:06:28.980> mean,<01:06:29.526> completely<01:06:30.088> comprehensible.

01:06:31.212 --> 01:06:31.469
Yeah.

But<01:06:31.999> to<01:06:32.159> have<01:06:32.400> the<01:06:32.464> mind<01:06:32.818> and<01:06:32.898> heart<01:06:33.139> to<01:06:33.219> get<01:06:33.460> there<01:06:33.620> that<01:06:33.845> fast.

01:06:35.146 --> 01:06:38.967
Another<01:06:35.483> guy<01:06:35.708> just<01:06:36.029> simply<01:06:36.350> said,<01:06:36.607> if<01:06:36.751> we<01:06:36.848> forgave<01:06:37.313> more,<01:06:37.538> the<01:06:37.699> world<01:06:38.020> would<01:06:38.116> be<01:06:38.277> a<01:06:38.357> better<01:06:38.678> place.

01:06:40.124 --> 01:06:40.365
Yeah.

01:06:41.232 --> 01:06:43.947
One<01:06:41.505> Uber<01:06:41.730> driver<01:06:42.276> had<01:06:42.517> sort<01:06:42.758> of<01:06:42.790> a<01:06:42.855> French<01:06:43.562> accent.

01:06:43.995 --> 01:06:48.574

01:07:29.863 --> 01:07:30.538
It's<01:07:30.088> amazing.

01:07:30.714 --> 01:07:33.349
It<01:07:30.795> was<01:07:31.855> comparable<01:07:32.289> to<01:07:32.482> what<01:07:32.594> I<01:07:32.642> was<01:07:32.803> getting<01:07:33.060> at<01:07:33.140> Harvard.

That's<01:07:35.562> amazing.

01:07:36.508 --> 01:07:36.604
Yeah.

01:07:39.954 --> 01:07:45.261
I<01:07:40.034> think<01:07:40.195> that<01:07:40.435> question,<01:07:40.996> how<01:07:41.157> would<01:07:41.237> the<01:07:41.381> world<01:07:41.621> be<01:07:41.782> different<01:07:42.503> if<01:07:42.680> we<01:07:42.904> forgave<01:07:43.321> more,<01:07:44.363> is<01:07:44.523> so<01:07:44.764> powerful.

01:07:45.325 --> 01:07:51.192
Just<01:07:46.126> circulating<01:07:46.848> that<01:07:47.152> one<01:07:47.409> question<01:07:47.954> and<01:07:48.034> getting<01:07:48.210> people<01:07:48.451> to<01:07:48.531> think<01:07:48.707> about<01:07:48.996> it<01:07:49.172> is<01:07:50.679> profound.

01:07:51.881 --> 01:07:52.859
Yeah.

01:07:52.924 --> 01:08:06.078
You<01:07:52.956> know,<01:07:53.164> one<01:07:53.276> of<01:07:53.324> my<01:07:53.420> favorite<01:07:53.741> all-time<01:07:54.062> books<01:07:54.463> is<01:07:54.767> Ethics<01:07:55.104> by<01:07:55.264> Bonhoeffer,<01:07:56.531> and<01:07:56.867> he<01:07:57.028> writes<01:07:57.412> it<01:07:57.508> in<01:07:57.573> the<01:07:57.653> midst<01:07:58.054> of<01:07:59.015> this<01:07:59.314> massive<01:08:00.107> evil<01:08:00.511> that's<01:08:00.770> taking<01:08:01.175> over<01:08:01.563> Germany,<01:08:02.372> and<01:08:02.550> much<01:08:02.874> of<01:08:02.971> it<01:08:03.100> is<01:08:03.262> happening<01:08:04.476> under<01:08:04.735> the<01:08:04.816> disguise<01:08:05.544> of<01:08:05.706> good.

01:08:06.418 --> 01:08:12.794
And<01:08:06.515> then<01:08:06.741> I<01:08:06.903> look<01:08:07.081> at<01:08:07.324> America<01:08:07.874> and<01:08:07.955> I<01:08:08.020> go,<01:08:08.602> we<01:08:08.764> keep<01:08:09.039> doing<01:08:09.347> this<01:08:09.654> where<01:08:09.751> we<01:08:09.832> keep<01:08:10.075> taking<01:08:10.479> bad<01:08:10.803> things<01:08:11.208> and<01:08:11.289> we<01:08:11.434> keep<01:08:11.839> calling<01:08:12.260> them<01:08:12.486> good.

01:08:12.988 --> 01:08:14.186
We<01:08:13.085> just<01:08:13.376> rebrand<01:08:13.959> them.

01:08:14.283 --> 01:08:25.855
And<01:08:14.428> so,<01:08:16.251> so<01:08:16.559> much<01:08:16.866> of<01:08:17.028> the<01:08:17.367> issues<01:08:17.691> that<01:08:17.853> even<01:08:18.095> we've<01:08:18.257> talked<01:08:18.580> about<01:08:18.823> here<01:08:19.729> stem<01:08:20.424> from<01:08:21.394> incorrect<01:08:22.526> understanding<01:08:24.305> in<01:08:24.467> a<01:08:24.791> cult—<01:08:25.195> on<01:08:25.227> a<01:08:25.260> cultural<01:08:25.634> level.

01:08:26.487 --> 01:08:29.679

01:08:29.871 --> 01:08:35.373
And<01:08:30.031> so<01:08:31.058> obviously<01:08:32.261> then<01:08:32.437> there's,<01:08:33.063> you<01:08:33.095> know,<01:08:33.223> this<01:08:33.336> is<01:08:33.464> where<01:08:33.544> the<01:08:33.624> person<01:08:33.945> of<01:08:34.025> Jesus<01:08:34.426> comes<01:08:34.667> in<01:08:34.763> in<01:08:34.795> my<01:08:34.940> mind.

01:08:35.629 --> 01:08:40.056
And<01:08:36.864> so<01:08:37.410> to<01:08:37.570> that<01:08:37.730> point,<01:08:38.596> you've<01:08:38.757> brought<01:08:39.014> up<01:08:39.158> Jesus<01:08:39.639> a<01:08:39.655> lot.

You<01:09:46.885> know,<01:09:47.291> I've<01:09:48.267> got<01:09:49.502> a<01:09:49.518> friend<01:09:49.892> that<01:09:49.990> I<01:09:50.071> admire<01:09:50.494> no<01:09:50.884> end,<01:09:51.599> more<01:09:51.843> than<01:09:52.006> one<01:09:52.119> of<01:09:52.249> them.

01:09:53.509 --> 01:10:05.021
And<01:09:53.606> one<01:09:53.751> of<01:09:53.848> them,<01:09:54.010> I<01:09:54.026> remember<01:09:54.333> calling<01:09:54.640> him<01:09:54.737> up<01:09:54.882> several<01:09:55.206> years<01:09:55.464> ago,<01:09:55.707> and<01:09:55.787> I<01:09:55.803> said,<01:09:56.094> what<01:09:56.175> do<01:09:56.207> you<01:09:56.272> think<01:09:56.498> Jesus<01:09:57.064> would<01:09:57.177> say<01:09:57.565> on<01:09:57.726> this<01:09:58.389> certain<01:09:59.342> hot<01:10:00.166> societal<01:10:00.813> topic<01:10:01.605> of<01:10:01.750> the<01:10:01.912> day,<01:10:02.170> which<01:10:02.879> might<01:10:03.137> be<01:10:03.459> waning<01:10:03.861> a<01:10:03.878> little<01:10:04.248> bit,<01:10:04.489> we'll<01:10:04.602> see<01:10:04.828> now?

01:10:05.713 --> 01:10:05.906
Now?

01:10:07.629 --> 01:10:10.206
His<01:10:07.952> answer,<01:10:08.515> his<01:10:08.676> immediate<01:10:09.256> answer<01:10:09.481> was<01:10:09.658> amazing<01:10:10.077> to<01:10:10.141> me.

01:10:10.286 --> 01:10:15.045
He<01:10:10.383> said,<01:10:11.092> I<01:10:11.188> think<01:10:11.414> Jesus<01:10:11.829> would<01:10:11.957> say,<01:10:13.206> Come,<01:10:13.485> let<01:10:13.715> me<01:10:13.797> show<01:10:14.191> you<01:10:14.306> my<01:10:14.519> Father.

01:10:16.630 --> 01:10:16.775
Wow.

01:10:18.183 --> 01:10:19.624
Just<01:10:18.362> so<01:10:18.766> relational.

01:10:19.899 --> 01:10:28.232
I<01:10:19.980> think<01:10:20.207> Bishop<01:10:20.611> Eusebius<01:10:21.194> got<01:10:21.437> it<01:10:21.518> fundamentally<01:10:22.149> wrong<01:10:22.716> when<01:10:22.813> he<01:10:22.959> created<01:10:23.363> this<01:10:23.606> artificial<01:10:24.658> distinction,<01:10:25.241> or<01:10:25.290> tried<01:10:25.566> to,<01:10:25.728> between<01:10:26.785> the<01:10:26.866> spiritual<01:10:27.435> and<01:10:27.500> the<01:10:27.533> material<01:10:28.086> world.

01:10:28.573 --> 01:10:32.036
I<01:10:28.589> think<01:10:28.801> we<01:10:28.898> need<01:10:29.321> to<01:10:29.532> acknowledge<01:10:29.955> they're<01:10:30.117> both<01:10:30.345> there,<01:10:30.930> but<01:10:31.174> they're<01:10:31.320> not<01:10:31.564> divided.

01:10:32.690 --> 01:10:33.034
Yeah.

01:10:33.625 --> 01:10:42.970
A<01:10:33.691> second<01:10:34.036> thing<01:10:34.200> I<01:10:34.298> would<01:10:34.430> say<01:10:34.922> is<01:10:35.431> I<01:10:35.447> remember<01:10:36.087> probably<01:10:36.334> in<01:10:36.449> 1974,<01:10:39.248> Richard<01:10:39.649> and<01:10:39.762> Sabina<01:10:40.307> Wurmbrand<01:10:41.270> came<01:10:41.462> to<01:10:41.655> my<01:10:41.815> home<01:10:42.072> and<01:10:42.152> spent<01:10:42.408> a<01:10:42.537> weekend.

01:10:43.836 --> 01:10:48.777
And<01:10:43.932> I<01:10:43.996> remember<01:10:45.184> Richard<01:10:46.066> talking<01:10:46.643> about—<01:10:47.301> I<01:10:47.349> don't<01:10:47.702> know<01:10:47.766> if<01:10:47.862> you<01:10:47.943> know<01:10:48.167> him,<01:10:48.408> but<01:10:48.504> he<01:10:48.632> was—.

01:10:49.210 --> 01:10:49.354
No.

01:10:49.450 --> 01:10:52.498
Prisoner<01:10:49.867> number<01:10:50.333> 1<01:10:50.637> in<01:10:50.798> Ceaușescu's<01:10:51.375> communist<01:10:52.001> Romania.

01:10:53.236 --> 01:11:10.756
So<01:10:53.541> they<01:10:53.701> were,<01:10:54.086> they<01:10:54.182> were<01:10:54.327> Jewish<01:10:54.744> people<01:10:55.305> who<01:10:55.867> met<01:10:56.107> Christ,<01:10:56.669> and<01:10:56.990> I<01:10:57.070> think<01:10:57.230> he<01:10:57.310> was<01:10:57.455> a<01:10:57.615> Baptist<01:10:58.353> preacher,<01:10:59.396> and<01:10:59.540> went<01:10:59.781> through<01:11:00.358> the<01:11:00.454> Nazi<01:11:01.064> regime<01:11:02.042> in<01:11:02.459> Nazi<01:11:03.005> prisons<01:11:03.566> and<01:11:03.791> were<01:11:03.871> released,<01:11:04.288> and<01:11:04.449> then<01:11:04.609> Soviet<01:11:05.235> prisons<01:11:05.957> in<01:11:06.053> Romania<01:11:08.862> where<01:11:09.023> they<01:11:09.167> were<01:11:09.231> not<01:11:09.440> allowed<01:11:09.665> to<01:11:09.729> have<01:11:09.906> their<01:11:10.050> name<01:11:10.307> in<01:11:10.387> prison.

01:11:10.805 --> 01:11:12.683
So<01:11:10.949> he<01:11:11.110> was<01:11:11.270> known<01:11:11.511> as<01:11:11.672> Prisoner<01:11:12.009> Number<01:11:12.394> 1.

01:11:12.795 --> 01:11:13.036
Hmm.

01:11:13.502 --> 01:11:15.251
And<01:11:14.063> his<01:11:14.304> heart<01:11:14.625> was<01:11:14.802> amazing.

01:11:15.348 --> 01:11:19.923
And<01:11:15.396> I<01:11:15.444> remember<01:11:15.669> he<01:11:15.701> said,<01:11:15.990> well,<01:11:16.102> Lord,<01:11:16.809> maybe<01:11:16.985> I<01:11:17.049> don't<01:11:17.306> remember<01:11:17.611> my<01:11:17.852> name,<01:11:18.253> but<01:11:18.478> you<01:11:18.574> said<01:11:18.799> I'm<01:11:18.960> called<01:11:19.281> by<01:11:19.441> your<01:11:19.634> name.

01:11:20.019 --> 01:11:20.388
Hmm.

01:11:20.645 --> 01:11:21.994
And<01:11:21.095> he<01:11:21.223> took<01:11:21.384> courage<01:11:21.785> in<01:11:21.865> that.

01:11:22.042 --> 01:11:23.406
He<01:11:22.074> was<01:11:22.347> beaten<01:11:22.748> mercilessly.

01:11:24.032 --> 01:11:25.814
He<01:11:24.177> wrote<01:11:24.337> a<01:11:24.418> book<01:11:24.514> called<01:11:24.819> Tortured<01:11:25.236> for<01:11:25.461> Christ.

01:11:26.280 --> 01:11:32.749
But<01:11:26.761> back<01:11:27.002> to<01:11:27.147> the<01:11:27.243> point,<01:11:27.821> I<01:11:27.869> remember<01:11:28.367> him<01:11:28.591> talking<01:11:29.346> about<01:11:29.571> these<01:11:29.795> words<01:11:30.068> of<01:11:30.213> Paul,<01:11:30.614> Jesus,<01:11:31.256> that<01:11:31.401> God<01:11:31.722> is<01:11:31.882> our<01:11:32.284> all<01:11:32.541> in<01:11:32.685> all.

01:11:51.747 --> 01:11:52.149
Yeah.

01:11:52.246 --> 01:11:54.674

01:12:58.453 --> 01:13:00.765
But<01:12:58.597> I<01:12:58.677> read<01:12:58.854> my<01:12:59.015> Bible,<01:12:59.368> I<01:12:59.400> don't<01:12:59.593> even<01:12:59.721> see<01:13:00.058> the<01:13:00.203> word<01:13:00.380> balance.

01:13:01.022 --> 01:13:01.439
Yeah.

01:13:01.905 --> 01:13:07.044
And<01:13:01.985> his<01:13:02.291> answer,<01:13:03.190> he<01:13:03.350> probably<01:13:03.736> used<01:13:03.929> a<01:13:04.057> word<01:13:04.298> that<01:13:04.699> I<01:13:04.715> don't<01:13:05.037> know<01:13:05.261> that's<01:13:05.743> explicitly<01:13:06.305> in<01:13:06.386> the<01:13:06.418> Bible<01:13:06.803> either.

01:13:27.420 --> 01:13:29.747
There's<01:13:27.837> never<01:13:28.303> really<01:13:28.624> a<01:13:28.720> long-term<01:13:29.282> balance.

01:13:30.069 --> 01:13:30.261
Yeah.

01:13:30.309 --> 01:13:41.483

01:14:10.604 --> 01:14:18.827

Yeah.

So,<01:14:28.209> Jesus<01:14:28.612> is<01:14:28.757> just<01:14:29.401> my<01:14:29.578> all<01:14:29.739> in<01:14:29.965> all.

01:18:14.398 --> 01:18:24.815
It's<01:18:14.623> basically<01:18:15.105> a<01:18:15.121> story<01:18:16.613> about<01:18:16.950> the<01:18:17.095> king<01:18:17.512> who<01:18:18.138> laid<01:18:18.379> this<01:18:18.619> golden<01:18:19.101> thread<01:18:19.438> through<01:18:19.614> the<01:18:19.743> forest<01:18:20.240> and<01:18:20.385> then<01:18:20.561> sent<01:18:20.802> the<01:18:20.963> prince<01:18:21.428> out<01:18:21.621> to<01:18:21.765> deliver<01:18:22.263> something<01:18:22.792> or<01:18:22.889> bring<01:18:23.113> a<01:18:23.129> message,<01:18:23.531> I<01:18:23.611> forget,<01:18:23.932> to<01:18:24.076> somebody<01:18:24.494> else.

01:18:25.922 --> 01:18:32.486
And<01:18:26.339> the<01:18:26.484> king's<01:18:27.703> instruction<01:18:28.345> to<01:18:28.490> the<01:18:28.554> son<01:18:28.891> was,<01:18:29.068> don't<01:18:29.373> ever<01:18:29.854> let<01:18:30.111> go<01:18:30.271> or<01:18:30.496> lose<01:18:30.608> sight<01:18:30.913> or<01:18:30.978> whatever<01:18:31.379> of<01:18:31.555> the<01:18:31.716> golden<01:18:32.117> thread.

01:18:33.080 --> 01:18:33.385
Yeah.

01:18:33.497 --> 01:18:38.970
And<01:18:33.626> inevitably,<01:18:34.444> like,<01:18:34.685> there's<01:18:34.910> the<01:18:35.022> lion,<01:18:35.712> right,<01:18:36.049> sitting<01:18:36.595> on—<01:18:36.755> the<01:18:36.916> hungry<01:18:37.253> lion<01:18:37.574> sitting<01:18:37.959> on<01:18:37.991> the<01:18:38.136> path<01:18:38.457> of<01:18:38.601> the<01:18:38.681> thread.

01:18:39.034 --> 01:18:39.949
So<01:18:39.163> he<01:18:39.259> goes<01:18:39.516> around<01:18:39.901> it.

01:18:40.046 --> 01:18:43.511
