Big takeaways from the conversation:
1. You have to know who you are in Christ. If you don’t know who you are in Christ you may end up chasing vanity metrics (i.e. more money, more followers, more women, etc.) which is ultimately unfulfilling
2. Know what your goals “cost”. If you are working towards a goal, make sure you’ve done the research to know what it takes to obtain that goal. If not you may realize later in life that you were not working hard enough OR maybe even compromising your integrity.
3. Many media platforms today that lead conversations are “Gossip” based. Christians in media have an opportunity to dominate these spaces with content that is entertaining but not “Gossip.”
4. You are responsible for yourself more than any pastor or faith leader.
5. Being a pastor is hard.
