1
00:00:00,600 –> 00:00:04,080
In 2025, I found myself
wrestling with frustration that

2
00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:08,520
God was not giving me joy.
And then God very patiently told

3
00:00:08,520 –> 00:00:11,200
me what was actually happening.
It wasn’t that he was

4
00:00:11,200 –> 00:00:14,080
withholding joy, it was that I
was rejecting it.

5
00:00:14,560 –> 00:00:18,200
What followed was an invitation
to spend 30 days looking at 30

6
00:00:18,200 –> 00:00:21,320
passages on Joy and turning it
into a devotional called

7
00:00:21,320 –> 00:00:24,800
Rejecting Joy No longer.
You’d think I would have learned

8
00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:28,160
that coming into 2026, I was
wrestling with hope.

9
00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:32,040
God, why are you making me so
hopeless?

10
00:00:32,640 –> 00:00:35,480
And God very patiently let me
know the reality.

11
00:00:36,080 –> 00:00:39,160
He wasn’t withholding hope.
I was rejecting it.

12
00:00:39,560 –> 00:00:43,520
And so now here I am, spending
30 days looking at 30 passages

13
00:00:43,560 –> 00:00:46,560
on hope.
And my hope is that this

14
00:00:46,560 –> 00:00:49,440
encourages you.
One thing that’s different this

15
00:00:49,440 –> 00:00:52,160
year is I felt like God was
inviting me to be publicly

16
00:00:52,160 –> 00:00:56,440
transparent with my processing.
To actually go live on social

17
00:00:56,440 –> 00:01:00,880
media, pull out a random verse,
and then read and process

18
00:01:00,880 –> 00:01:04,440
through it on camera.
This isn’t me coming to you as

19
00:01:04,440 –> 00:01:08,440
an expert on hope, but me coming
to you honestly as someone

20
00:01:08,440 –> 00:01:12,120
wrestling with hope.
And by witnessing that some of

21
00:01:12,120 –> 00:01:16,720
you might feel less alone, may
feel seen and understood, may

22
00:01:16,720 –> 00:01:19,880
end up being encouraged in a way
that is far deeper than the best

23
00:01:19,880 –> 00:01:23,240
platitude.
So join me as I spend 30 days

24
00:01:23,440 –> 00:01:27,440
navigating 30 passages on Hope.
This is day 28.

25
00:01:28,920 –> 00:01:32,560
You’re listening to episode 235
of the Where Did You See Guide

26
00:01:32,560 –> 00:01:48,200
podcast.
Father God, I just want to thank

27
00:01:48,200 –> 00:01:49,360
you that you were God and you
were good.

28
00:01:49,360 –> 00:01:52,040
And I thank you for the ways
that you’re working and moving

29
00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:55,440
not just within me, but within
others, whether I hear about it

30
00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:57,320
or not.
Thank you for your word.

31
00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:00,840
Thank you for the promise that
you were a God of hope and your

32
00:02:00,840 –> 00:02:02,640
patience as we figure out what
that means.

33
00:02:03,200 –> 00:02:07,960
So Father God, I invite you to
guide us to verse today.

34
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:10,440
Holy Spirit, move.
Give us ears to hear.

35
00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:15,280
Protect us from our own own
limited creativity and help us

36
00:02:15,280 –> 00:02:18,880
to be open to your reality.
Name.

37
00:02:19,080 –> 00:02:22,760
Amen.
First Peter hanging in that New

38
00:02:22,760 –> 00:02:26,040
Testament.
But in your hearts honor Christ

39
00:02:26,040 –> 00:02:30,720
the Lord as holy, always being
prepared to make a defense to

40
00:02:30,720 –> 00:02:34,720
anyone who asks you for a reason
for the hope that is in you.

41
00:02:35,320 –> 00:02:42,200
Yet do it with gentleness and
respect in this day and time.

42
00:02:43,120 –> 00:02:46,640
I have lots of thoughts, folks.
Let me pull up the full passage

43
00:02:46,640 –> 00:02:55,200
before I get into them.
All right, let’s start in verse

44
00:02:55,240 –> 00:02:57,720
8 because that’s the section
that contains this.

45
00:02:58,280 –> 00:03:01,320
The section before has stuff
that would be a whole

46
00:03:01,520 –> 00:03:05,760
conversation in and of itself.
So first Peter 3, starting in

47
00:03:05,760 –> 00:03:08,840
verse 8.
Finally, all of you be like

48
00:03:08,840 –> 00:03:13,600
minded, be sympathetic, love one
another, be compassionate and

49
00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:16,840
humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or

50
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:21,160
insult with insult.
On the contrary, repay evil with

51
00:03:21,160 –> 00:03:24,880
blessing, because to this you
were called so that you may

52
00:03:24,880 –> 00:03:27,680
inherit a blessing.
For whoever would love life and

53
00:03:27,680 –> 00:03:32,040
see good days must keep their
tongue from evil and their lips

54
00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:35,120
from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do

55
00:03:35,120 –> 00:03:38,480
good.
They must seek peace and pursue

56
00:03:38,480 –> 00:03:42,160
it, for the eyes of the Lord are
on the righteous, and his ears

57
00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:44,920
are attentive to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is

58
00:03:44,920 –> 00:03:49,400
against those who do evil.
Who is going to harm you if you

59
00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:53,040
are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer

60
00:03:53,040 –> 00:03:54,760
for what is right, you are
blessed.

61
00:03:55,240 –> 00:03:58,600
Do not fear their hearts, do not
be frightened, but in your

62
00:03:58,600 –> 00:04:02,640
hearts Revere Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an

63
00:04:02,640 –> 00:04:06,200
answer to everyone who asks you
to give the reason for the hope

64
00:04:06,200 –> 00:04:10,520
that you have.
But do this with gentleness and

65
00:04:10,520 –> 00:04:13,600
respect, keeping a clear
conscience, so that those who

66
00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:16,240
speak maliciously against your
good behaviour in Christ may be

67
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:19,360
ashamed of their slander.
For it is better if it is God’s

68
00:04:19,360 –> 00:04:22,680
will to suffer for doing good
than for doing evil.

69
00:04:23,120 –> 00:04:26,080
For Christ also suffered once
for sins, the righteous for the

70
00:04:26,080 –> 00:04:27,800
unrighteous, to bring you to
God.

71
00:04:28,520 –> 00:04:32,040
He was put to death in the body,
but made alive in the Spirit.

72
00:04:32,480 –> 00:04:35,440
After being made alive, he went
and made proclamation to the

73
00:04:35,440 –> 00:04:39,120
imprisoned spirits, to those who
were disobedient long ago, when

74
00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:42,520
God waited patiently in the days
of Noah while the ark was being

75
00:04:42,520 –> 00:04:44,160
built.
And he keeps on going about

76
00:04:44,160 –> 00:04:46,320
Noah.
Which is good, but for our

77
00:04:46,320 –> 00:04:50,320
context.
If you caught my reactions when

78
00:04:50,320 –> 00:04:54,320
reading it, I feel like it is
not uncommon for people who

79
00:04:54,320 –> 00:04:59,440
identify as Christian to latch
onto this passage without the

80
00:04:59,440 –> 00:05:04,600
full context.
In particular, always being

81
00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:08,080
prepared to make a defense to
anyone who asks you for a reason

82
00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:12,240
for the hope that is in you.
There are many who identify as

83
00:05:12,240 –> 00:05:20,440
Christian who very much can be
defensive and or can feel a

84
00:05:20,440 –> 00:05:26,760
responsibility to fight for and
protect God, protect his honor,

85
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:34,000
to protect Christianity.
My caution is that that snippet

86
00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:37,680
of the verse is part of a verse
that also includes yeah, do it

87
00:05:37,680 –> 00:05:42,560
with gentleness, respect, but is
part of a passage that is very

88
00:05:42,560 –> 00:05:46,080
explicitly clear around who we
are supposed to be.

89
00:05:46,520 –> 00:05:51,080
Be like minded, be sympathetic,
love one another, be

90
00:05:51,080 –> 00:05:55,520
compassionate and humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or

91
00:05:55,520 –> 00:05:58,440
insult with insult.
I laughed at that part because

92
00:05:58,440 –> 00:06:02,640
I’ve seen plenty, plenty of
social media threads where

93
00:06:02,640 –> 00:06:05,120
someone who identifies as
Christian met insult with

94
00:06:05,120 –> 00:06:08,520
insult.
On the contrary, repay evil with

95
00:06:08,520 –> 00:06:13,680
blessing.
Not just don’t insult, but

96
00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:23,200
blessing, but in your hearts
Revere Christ is Lord.

97
00:06:24,160 –> 00:06:28,960
Pause there for a second.
I think there are plenty of

98
00:06:28,960 –> 00:06:33,600
people who would claim that the
things that they do, the defense

99
00:06:33,600 –> 00:06:40,040
they make is to honor Christ.
But this is not saying overtly

100
00:06:40,040 –> 00:06:45,200
honor Christ.
This is saying in your hearts

101
00:06:46,200 –> 00:06:51,080
honor Christ the Lord is holy,
or as it puts it here, in your

102
00:06:51,080 –> 00:06:56,400
hearts Revere Christ as Lord.
Why is that different?

103
00:06:56,880 –> 00:07:00,360
What it looks like to honor
Christ overtly, to stand in

104
00:07:00,360 –> 00:07:04,680
front of somebody and say Christ
is Lord, is very different than

105
00:07:04,680 –> 00:07:07,200
what it looks like for you to
actually honor him in your

106
00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:11,560
heart, for you to say I defer to
you.

107
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:16,320
Sometimes the Christ we’re
honoring is actually an image of

108
00:07:16,320 –> 00:07:19,520
him that we’ve made an idea of
Him that we carry.

109
00:07:19,520 –> 00:07:23,480
The best way to know if that’s
happening is if the Christ

110
00:07:23,480 –> 00:07:26,240
you’re following does not match
the Christ of Scripture, a

111
00:07:26,240 –> 00:07:31,080
Christ who loved his enemies.
This is not a call to

112
00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:36,600
defensiveness because Jesus
doesn’t need us to defend him.

113
00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:40,080
Like, he didn’t even defend
himself when he was

114
00:07:40,080 –> 00:07:43,560
misrepresented, because he knew
there was something greater than

115
00:07:43,560 –> 00:07:48,680
here and now justice.
He knew that if he had defended

116
00:07:48,680 –> 00:07:51,360
himself, it would only be
protecting himself, and he was

117
00:07:51,360 –> 00:07:54,600
much more keen on protecting
humanity than himself.

118
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:56,840
So Jesus doesn’t need us to
defend him.

119
00:07:56,840 –> 00:07:58,400
God doesn’t need us to defend
him.

120
00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:01,360
There’s stories in the Old
Testament where the Ark of the

121
00:08:01,360 –> 00:08:05,720
Covenant, that is where God
chose to give himself a physical

122
00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:09,840
embodiment among the people,
that when they were honoring him

123
00:08:09,840 –> 00:08:11,640
and caring, nobody could do
anything against him.

124
00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:15,320
When they would lose the ark.
God doesn’t become defenseless.

125
00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:18,960
There’s stories where enemy
nations took the ark and they

126
00:08:18,960 –> 00:08:22,600
put it right beside their God
and their God’s statue fell down

127
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:26,720
and like the head fell off and
the whole town got sores and

128
00:08:26,720 –> 00:08:27,880
like God can take care of
himself.

129
00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:33,679
So this is not a call to arms to
protect Jesus, to protect God.

130
00:08:34,080 –> 00:08:35,360
Let’s read what it actually
says.

131
00:08:35,919 –> 00:08:39,880
Always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you

132
00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:41,760
for a reason for the hope that
is in you.

133
00:08:42,280 –> 00:08:46,320
Always be prepared to give an
answer to everyone who asks you

134
00:08:46,320 –> 00:08:50,160
to give the reason for the hope.
Again, I find myself leaning

135
00:08:50,160 –> 00:08:52,280
more towards the NIV.
Sorry for those that don’t like

136
00:08:52,280 –> 00:08:56,840
the NIV, but I feel like that
captures it in an important way

137
00:08:57,320 –> 00:08:58,800
that’s hitting it what I’ve been
sitting with.

138
00:08:59,920 –> 00:09:03,880
Give an answer to everyone who
asks you to give the reason for

139
00:09:03,880 –> 00:09:05,840
the hope.
I think what’s fresh on my mind

140
00:09:05,840 –> 00:09:10,880
is a friend of mine shared
publicly in a post how they grew

141
00:09:10,880 –> 00:09:13,320
up in a Christian home,
identified as a Christian for a

142
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:16,000
while, and no longer do so
because there’s a lot that

143
00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:20,680
doesn’t make sense about it.
And if that person were to ask

144
00:09:20,680 –> 00:09:24,880
me to give the reason for the
hope that I have, what would my

145
00:09:24,880 –> 00:09:28,040
response be?
What would be a response that

146
00:09:28,040 –> 00:09:31,840
matches all the parameters given
here to be like, minus

147
00:09:31,840 –> 00:09:33,080
sympathetic?
Love one another, be

148
00:09:33,080 –> 00:09:36,400
compassionate and humble, Do not
repay evil, evil insult for

149
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:39,360
insult.
That in my heart I’m revering

150
00:09:39,360 –> 00:09:42,520
Christ as Lord and that I’m
responding with gentleness and

151
00:09:42,520 –> 00:09:44,600
respect.
Should I get angry at this

152
00:09:44,600 –> 00:09:50,160
person or would I respond as
with a friend because they are a

153
00:09:50,160 –> 00:09:56,720
friend and be honest in my
processing of hope, which, let’s

154
00:09:56,720 –> 00:10:01,240
be clear, I’ve been trying to do
that for the last 28 days.

155
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:05,480
Not trying to prove you have to
have hope, but to come to all of

156
00:10:05,480 –> 00:10:09,400
you and say, hey, yeah, I want
to believe this hope.

157
00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:11,120
I’m wrestling with this hope
right now.

158
00:10:11,720 –> 00:10:15,520
All right, let’s say this isn’t
a friend who no longer

159
00:10:15,520 –> 00:10:18,400
identifies as Christian.
Let’s say I’ve got another

160
00:10:18,400 –> 00:10:20,360
friend.
They identify as agnostic

161
00:10:20,360 –> 00:10:25,400
atheist, and they grew up in a
faith tradition that really

162
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:28,640
pushed the fear of God, really
pushed punishment, really pushed

163
00:10:28,640 –> 00:10:31,280
hell, did not seem to push love
a lot.

164
00:10:31,280 –> 00:10:34,920
And so this person began reading
scripture and saw a lot that did

165
00:10:34,920 –> 00:10:38,080
not look like a loving God.
And that’s been his big question

166
00:10:38,320 –> 00:10:42,000
is can you just show me where in
Scripture it shows that God is

167
00:10:42,000 –> 00:10:43,880
loving?
Because I see a lot of stuff

168
00:10:43,880 –> 00:10:47,640
that’s not loving.
He can feel strongly about his

169
00:10:47,720 –> 00:10:50,880
issues with someone like me
saying God is love, right?

170
00:10:51,520 –> 00:10:53,080
And we have really good
conversation.

171
00:10:53,200 –> 00:10:57,360
But there are others that come
at him defensive.

172
00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:01,640
They see him as the enemy and
they respond accordingly that

173
00:11:01,640 –> 00:11:05,120
the goal in that interaction is
to prove him wrong or to shut

174
00:11:05,120 –> 00:11:08,320
him down.
And some don’t believe that

175
00:11:08,320 –> 00:11:10,840
that’s what they’re doing.
They believe that they are doing

176
00:11:10,840 –> 00:11:13,160
a good Christian thing and
standing up for God.

177
00:11:13,160 –> 00:11:16,000
But I’m referring to a podcast,
so this is how I’m Privy to

178
00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:18,320
these conversations.
I will watch these conversations

179
00:11:18,320 –> 00:11:24,200
and just cringe inside because
even though they want their

180
00:11:24,200 –> 00:11:27,960
intentions to be good, the way
they are engaging with my friend

181
00:11:28,240 –> 00:11:31,960
is not matching what this
passage calls us to.

182
00:11:32,840 –> 00:11:38,520
If the hope that is in US is
legitimately the hope that all

183
00:11:38,520 –> 00:11:42,120
these passages are talking
about, one would think that it

184
00:11:42,120 –> 00:11:45,840
would evoke a certain type of
response, responsive

185
00:11:45,840 –> 00:11:49,960
hopefulness, responsive love, or
responsive gentleness because of

186
00:11:49,960 –> 00:11:54,160
the very nature of what it is.
If the hope that is in you is

187
00:11:54,160 –> 00:12:01,320
resulting in defensiveness,
antagonism, insults, anger, I

188
00:12:01,320 –> 00:12:06,560
would urge you to pause, step
back, and really define that

189
00:12:06,560 –> 00:12:10,040
hope.
Give a reason for the hope that

190
00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:12,600
you have.
You got to pull back and

191
00:12:12,600 –> 00:12:15,120
actually figure out what that
hope is that you have.

192
00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:19,200
Do you know what hope it is that
you are defending?

193
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:25,680
If the fruit of that defense
does not match the character of

194
00:12:25,680 –> 00:12:30,480
Christ and the fruits of the
Spirit, then you may have hope

195
00:12:30,480 –> 00:12:33,440
in something different than what
this passage is talking about.

196
00:12:35,080 –> 00:12:39,520
If your hope is what these
passages are talking about, you

197
00:12:39,520 –> 00:12:43,360
do not need to have fear and how
you will answer that because

198
00:12:43,360 –> 00:12:47,080
this is the other end of the
spectrum where I mean we really

199
00:12:47,080 –> 00:12:49,720
are genuinely trying to seek God
and we feel this pressure.

200
00:12:50,960 –> 00:12:53,920
Always be prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asked for

201
00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:57,200
a reason for the I don’t know.
Some days I don’t know why I’m

202
00:12:57,200 –> 00:12:59,320
following God.
I how am I going to give a

203
00:12:59,320 –> 00:13:02,200
defense to anyone who asks how
am I going to always be

204
00:13:02,200 –> 00:13:05,120
prepared?
Look, Scripture makes it clear

205
00:13:05,280 –> 00:13:11,360
that this hope comes with the
Spirit and the Spirit it says in

206
00:13:11,360 –> 00:13:15,880
Scripture can give you words
when you need them, can help you

207
00:13:15,880 –> 00:13:18,200
understand how to respond, can
pray on your behalf.

208
00:13:18,200 –> 00:13:21,120
Even your response does not need
to be fear.

209
00:13:21,480 –> 00:13:24,160
You don’t need to defend it in
the sense of proving it.

210
00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:28,000
You don’t need to answer it in
the sense of making it

211
00:13:28,000 –> 00:13:31,680
objectively clear.
You are simply being invited to

212
00:13:31,680 –> 00:13:35,800
be honest about why you are at
the table, why you stay at the

213
00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:39,520
table.
And you can do so even as you

214
00:13:39,520 –> 00:13:43,280
still have questions.
So this is not meant to be a

215
00:13:43,280 –> 00:13:48,160
call to fighting, and it’s not
meant to be a call to proving.

216
00:13:49,320 –> 00:13:54,480
It’s inviting us to be honest
about why we are trusting this

217
00:13:54,480 –> 00:13:59,600
hope.
And when you do, and if you do

218
00:13:59,600 –> 00:14:05,480
it in this way, it’s going to,
people are going to see it and

219
00:14:06,160 –> 00:14:07,800
it’s not going to be this
intellectual.

220
00:14:07,800 –> 00:14:09,600
You said something that got
through to them.

221
00:14:10,240 –> 00:14:13,240
They’re going to see something.
And in most cases, this verse

222
00:14:13,240 –> 00:14:15,760
indicates it’s going to go well
for you.

223
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:20,240
People are going to respond
well, at least not respond bad.

224
00:14:20,920 –> 00:14:24,160
But there may be moments and
says who is going to harm you if

225
00:14:24,160 –> 00:14:27,440
you are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer

226
00:14:27,440 –> 00:14:28,920
for what is right, you are
blessed.

227
00:14:29,440 –> 00:14:31,920
Do not for your threats.
Do not be frightened.

228
00:14:32,520 –> 00:14:34,720
For it is better if it is God’s
will to suffer for doing good

229
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:37,600
than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered.

230
00:14:38,960 –> 00:14:41,560
If this hope is real that we’ve
been talking about, it is going

231
00:14:41,560 –> 00:14:45,520
to call for a different way of
seeing the world and engaging

232
00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:47,800
with the world, and that’s going
to raise questions.

233
00:14:49,720 –> 00:14:53,440
It is going to raise questions
and this verse invites us to be

234
00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:58,040
ready for those questions that
when somebody asks why in the

235
00:14:58,040 –> 00:15:01,560
world are you hopeful?
Why are you holding to this hope

236
00:15:01,880 –> 00:15:05,920
in this eternity when when we
die, we die, you’re going to get

237
00:15:05,920 –> 00:15:09,680
these questions.
And that is an opportunity to be

238
00:15:10,360 –> 00:15:12,800
honest and present with that
person.

239
00:15:12,800 –> 00:15:16,160
That’s an act of love, to be
honest and present with them and

240
00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:17,360
just to share what’s on your
heart.

241
00:15:18,360 –> 00:15:22,240
And remember that the best
position for your heart is in

242
00:15:22,240 –> 00:15:26,600
this moment to honor Christ the
Lord is holy, or to Revere

243
00:15:26,600 –> 00:15:31,200
Christ as Lord, not just as a
good person, but as Lord.

244
00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:35,680
It’s a whole other thing.
I’ll read both versions again.

245
00:15:35,680 –> 00:15:39,280
First Peter 315 But in your
hearts, honor Christ of the Lord

246
00:15:39,280 –> 00:15:42,800
as holy, always being prepared
to make a defense to anyone who

247
00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:46,120
asked you for a reason for the
hope that is in you.

248
00:15:46,520 –> 00:15:50,720
Yet do it with gentleness and
respect, and but in your hearts

249
00:15:50,960 –> 00:15:55,440
Revere Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an

250
00:15:55,440 –> 00:15:59,280
answer to everyone who asks you
to give the reason for the hope

251
00:15:59,480 –> 00:16:04,480
that you have, but do this with
gentleness and respect.

252
00:16:04,920 –> 00:16:06,800
Father God, we thank You that
You are God and you are good.

253
00:16:06,880 –> 00:16:11,320
And we thank You that it is not
on us to prove you and it is not

254
00:16:11,320 –> 00:16:15,640
on us to defend or protect you.
We can’t.

255
00:16:16,520 –> 00:16:20,720
You are in all power for God.
So help us to understand what

256
00:16:20,720 –> 00:16:24,000
the invitation is here.
And I think that invitation is

257
00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:27,160
to be your ambassador, that when
someone asks us the reason for

258
00:16:27,160 –> 00:16:30,280
the hope that is in us, we have
an opportunity to represent.

259
00:16:30,880 –> 00:16:33,360
Are we going to represent you
well or represent you poorly?

260
00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:36,320
We want to do the former.
We often do the latter.

261
00:16:36,320 –> 00:16:40,760
So Holy Spirit move within us to
better represent all of what the

262
00:16:40,760 –> 00:16:43,760
Scripture actually is saying to
embody love.

263
00:16:44,640 –> 00:16:46,280
Let’s famous holy name, Amen.
