[00:00:00] So I want to talk to you today about how to make a dramatic improvement in somebody else's life. I know some of you are like, what about me? We've been talking about you. This whole series has been about you. Okay. Last six weeks, we've been talking about areas of our lives where God invites us to take small next steps.
And if we do that, we'll end up in places we never thought possible, end up being people we never thought possible. It's all been about you.

And he's like, it's the same name. They're different guys. I was like, yeah. He's like, well, that's dumb. Like that's really confusing. Right? I mean, it's the gospel of John and it starts off with John and but it's not about John. Like, well, yeah, that's how you know it's real, right? I mean, if you're writing fiction, you gotta be really careful to give everybody a different name.
