Biggest lesson is that I realized that every hard thing we go through makes us more of who we're meant to be, and I think who Good designed us to be. I referenced that scripture to you the other day, James better one verse two through four. It says, count it all joy, my my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance run its course so that you may be complete and lacking nothing. I am more myself. I feel more myself and more rooted in my sense of identity, who I am and and what I feel God's called me to do than I ever was before I went through that with my old man. And that's why I think we should count it all joy. The worst thing I've ever been through has better, Good willing, somebody else's greatest breakthrough because I've helped them battle grief, manage grief, feel grief, and come out the other side liberated from it. And that's the greatest gift bad could have ever been given. I had a conversation with Alain de Better toward the back end of last year, and he has this line. He says, the best men have been broken. And, I asked him, how can you tell? What do you mean and how can you tell? He says, there's just a there's a look. There's a twinkle in the eye. There's a kind of humility. There's a humbleness. There's a recognition of their own limits, even if they're really high.
