Because i. >> i joyfully said yes i'm
00:30:29.069 --> 00:30:29.636

>> yeah. and i said i love for nothing
00:30:33.807 --> 00:30:34.474
And i said i love for nothing more than and just thinking of
00:30:34.608 --> 00:30:36.209
More than and just thinking of the heart of a father in that
00:30:36.343 --> 00:30:37.177
The heart of a father in that moment and then how much more
00:30:37.310 --> 00:30:39.646
Moment and then how much more are those instructions
00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.247
Are those instructions continuing to ring true in
00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:43.517
Continuing to ring true in terms of our relationship with
00:30:43.650 --> 00:30:44.284
Terms of our relationship with our heavenly father and the of
00:30:44.417 --> 00:30:46.920
Our heavenly father and the of prayer and how he feels?
00:30:47.053 --> 00:30:47.554
Prayer and how he feels? >> that's right right.
00:30:47.687 --> 00:30:50.857
>> that's right right. >> i got from it too is how
00:30:50.991 --> 00:30:51.925
>> i got from it too is how hard it must be for him him
00:30:52.058 --> 00:30:54.661
Hard it must be for him him when he is there he is
00:30:54.794 --> 00:30:55.328
When he is there he is available.
00:30:55.462 --> 00:30:55.695
Available. >> he wants to respond and we
00:30:55.829 --> 00:30:58.732
>> he wants to respond and we just start asking he says i
00:30:58.865 --> 00:30:59.432
Just start asking he says i know the plans i have you it's
00:30:59.566 --> 00:31:03.069
Know the plans i have you it's almost you will hear that in
00:31:03.203 --> 00:31:03.803
Almost you will hear that in the form of a plea in that
00:31:03.937 --> 00:31:04.538
The form of a plea in that moment like i what's best for
00:31:04.671 --> 00:31:06.673
Moment like i what's best for you look to me right?
00:31:06.806 --> 00:31:07.307

Will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your
00:31:11.178 --> 00:31:11.912
You seek me with all of your heart and and if i'm being
00:31:12.045 --> 00:31:14.781
Heart and and if i'm being honest you know i write these
00:31:14.915 --> 00:31:15.482

Expert, i write i write these books not because i'm the
00:31:18.718 --> 00:31:19.219
Books not because i'm the expert but because i'm trying
00:31:19.352 --> 00:31:19.920
Expert but because i'm trying to figure it out.
00:31:20.053 --> 00:31:20.453
To figure it out. so i.
00:31:20.587 --> 00:31:21.988
So i. >> so i a lot of times i write
00:31:22.122 --> 00:31:22.989
>> so i a lot of times i write the songs that i need to hear.
00:31:23.123 --> 00:31:23.757
The songs that i need to hear. i write the books that i need
00:31:23.890 --> 00:31:26.026
I write the books that i need to read and be reminded of
00:31:26.159 --> 00:31:26.726
To read and be reminded of because i need to go deeper in
00:31:26.860 --> 00:31:27.527
Because i need to go deeper in my life and i have a feeling
00:31:27.661 --> 00:31:30.530
My life and i have a feeling there's a lot of people who if
00:31:30.664 --> 00:31:31.298
There's a lot of people who if they're being honest say you
00:31:31.431 --> 00:31:31.998
They're being honest say you know what neglected the most
00:31:32.132 --> 00:31:33.433
Know what neglected the most important conversation of the
00:31:33.567 --> 00:31:34.167
Important conversation of the day too often you know this is
00:31:34.301 --> 00:31:37.237
Day too often you know this is almost as much a devotional a
00:31:37.370 --> 00:31:40.707
Almost as much a devotional a book and at the end of every
00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:41.474
Book and at the end of every chapter you ask some questions
00:31:41.608 --> 00:31:42.209
Chapter you ask some questions like a lot of writers do that
00:31:42.342 --> 00:31:45.011
Like a lot of writers do that matthew but i mean i felt like
00:31:45.145 --> 00:31:47.881
Matthew but i mean i felt like you asked questions that i was
00:31:48.014 --> 00:31:51.952
You asked questions that i was asking oh that's good.
00:31:52.085 --> 00:31:52.552
Asking oh that's good. >> and it made me think it made
00:31:52.686 --> 00:31:55.755
>> and it made me think it made me go back in my own life and
00:31:55.889 --> 00:31:59.259
Me go back in my own life and ponder it made me think forward
00:31:59.392 --> 00:32:00.026
Ponder it made me think forward in my life and i so appreciated
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:00.860
In my life and i so appreciated that stop praying song a book.
00:32:00.994 --> 00:32:03.830
That stop praying song a book. >> but what but what was the
00:32:03.964 --> 00:32:07.133
>> but what but what was the impetus for all of that for
00:32:07.267 --> 00:32:07.834
Impetus for all of that for you?
00:32:07.968 --> 00:32:08.101
You? >> where did that come from?
00:32:08.235 --> 00:32:08.802
>> where did that come from? well i tour across the country
00:32:08.935 --> 00:32:11.271
Well i tour across the country and so it's there to
00:32:11.404 --> 00:32:14.708
And so it's there to inspirations one is very
00:32:14.841 --> 00:32:15.342
Inspirations one is very personal.
00:32:15.475 --> 00:32:15.709
Personal. there's a family member of mine
00:32:15.842 --> 00:32:16.509
There's a family member of mine who i've been for for many
00:32:16.643 --> 00:32:18.945
Who i've been for for many years to come to know the lord
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.746
Years to come to know the lord and there comes where you're
00:32:19.879 --> 00:32:22.282
And there comes where you're praying for the same thing over
00:32:22.415 --> 00:32:23.049
Praying for the same thing over and over again and it's going
00:32:23.183 --> 00:32:23.783
And over again and it's going to.
00:32:23.917 --> 00:32:25.819
To. it's going to test your faith.
00:32:25.952 --> 00:32:26.586
It's going to test your faith. you know we've talked about
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:27.287
You know we've talked about this.
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:27.587
This. we both know what that feels.
00:32:27.721 --> 00:32:29.589
We both know what that feels. you start to wonder like lord,
00:32:29.723 --> 00:32:30.357
You start to wonder like lord, maybe i should just throw in
00:32:30.490 --> 00:32:31.091
Maybe i should just throw in the towel on.
00:32:31.224 --> 00:32:33.326
The towel on. there's a line in the song that
00:32:33.460 --> 00:32:34.294
There's a line in the song that says when you wonder if you can
00:32:34.427 --> 00:32:35.862
Says when you wonder if you can buy your head one more time do
00:32:35.996 --> 00:32:36.663
Buy your head one more time do it one more time.
00:32:36.796 --> 00:32:37.163
It one more time. so in many ways the song and
00:32:37.297 --> 00:32:40.100
So in many ways the song and the book are about perseverance
00:32:40.233 --> 00:32:40.867
The book are about perseverance in prayer and i've been to see
00:32:41.001 --> 00:32:43.436
In prayer and i've been to see my mom and dad do that their
00:32:43.570 --> 00:32:44.170
My mom and dad do that their prayer warriors just letting
00:32:44.304 --> 00:32:46.840
Prayer warriors just letting their knees wear out the floor
00:32:46.973 --> 00:32:47.574
Their knees wear out the floor and i want to be more like
00:32:47.707 --> 00:32:50.343
And i want to be more like that.
00:32:50.477 --> 00:32:50.644
That. and then as i travel around the
00:32:50.777 --> 00:32:51.444
And then as i travel around the country we started prayer wall
00:32:51.578 --> 00:32:53.880
Country we started prayer wall in the lobby of our concerts
00:32:54.014 --> 00:32:54.581
In the lobby of our concerts and as people people walk in we
00:32:54.714 --> 00:32:58.218
And as people people walk in we give them a pen and a tag and
00:32:58.351 --> 00:32:59.286
Give them a pen and a tag and they write down one thing
00:32:59.419 --> 00:33:01.388
They write down one thing they're praying for and by the
00:33:01.521 --> 00:33:02.122
They're praying for and by the end of the night would you
00:33:02.255 --> 00:33:02.789
End of the night would you believe that prayer wall is
00:33:02.922 --> 00:33:04.524
Believe that prayer wall is flooded?
00:33:04.658 --> 00:33:04.858
Flooded? >> and it reminds me
00:33:04.991 --> 00:33:05.425
>> and it reminds me everybody's fighting battle and
00:33:05.558 --> 00:33:07.827
Everybody's fighting battle and everybody needs to be reminded
00:33:07.961 --> 00:33:08.595
Everybody needs to be reminded who fights our battles.
00:33:08.728 --> 00:33:11.731
Who fights our battles. >> you know what everybody's
00:33:11.865 --> 00:33:12.499
>> you know what everybody's not asking the the question
00:33:12.632 --> 00:33:15.402
Not asking the the question what are you fighting or how
00:33:15.535 --> 00:33:16.102
What are you fighting or how can we pray for you?
00:33:16.236 --> 00:33:19.272
Can we pray for you? i mean i just think one of the
00:33:19.406 --> 00:33:20.140
I mean i just think one of the gifts that you have and what
00:33:20.273 --> 00:33:20.874
Gifts that you have and what you write, whether it's or a
00:33:21.007 --> 00:33:22.876
You write, whether it's or a book is asking those very
00:33:23.009 --> 00:33:23.610
Book is asking those very personal you know, everybody's
00:33:23.743 --> 00:33:26.980
Personal you know, everybody's busy the life life is full of
00:33:27.113 --> 00:33:30.450
Busy the life life is full of of all kinds of distractions
00:33:30.583 --> 00:33:31.217
Of all kinds of distractions and noise.
00:33:31.351 --> 00:33:31.618
And noise. but i love this there are road
00:33:31.751 --> 00:33:34.487
But i love this there are road blocks you talk about in here
00:33:34.621 --> 00:33:35.221
Blocks you talk about in here too getting our prayers
00:33:35.355 --> 00:33:35.822
Too getting our prayers answered just so much that that
00:33:35.955 --> 00:33:38.825
Answered just so much that that is rich this what do you want
00:33:38.958 --> 00:33:42.696
Is rich this what do you want the takeaway for people to be
00:33:42.829 --> 00:33:43.563
The takeaway for people to be after after they've read don't
00:33:43.697 --> 00:33:46.633
After after they've read don't stop praying well i hope people
00:33:46.766 --> 00:33:47.467
Stop praying well i hope people will begin to discover maybe
00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:50.070
Will begin to discover maybe for the first time or
00:33:50.203 --> 00:33:50.770
For the first time or rediscover or cause desire of
00:33:50.904 --> 00:33:54.341
Rediscover or cause desire of proximity like the whole
00:33:54.474 --> 00:33:54.974
Proximity like the whole message of gospel is the
00:33:55.108 --> 00:33:57.944
Message of gospel is the message of a god who will stop
00:33:58.078 --> 00:33:58.778
Message of a god who will stop at nothing to reach us.
00:33:58.912 --> 00:34:01.848
At nothing to reach us. >> there's actually no other
00:34:01.981 --> 00:34:02.549
>> there's actually no other religion or faith that that's
00:34:02.682 --> 00:34:06.086
Religion or faith that that's true of and i've heard it said
00:34:06.219 --> 00:34:06.853
True of and i've heard it said it's like if you ever feel a
00:34:06.986 --> 00:34:07.754
It's like if you ever feel a distance you and god god is
00:34:07.887 --> 00:34:10.223
Distance you and god god is never the reason.
00:34:10.357 --> 00:34:10.724
Never the reason. it's like the old prone to
00:34:10.857 --> 00:34:13.593
It's like the old prone to wonder lord i feel it and these
00:34:13.727 --> 00:34:17.097
Wonder lord i feel it and these of this book are drenched in
00:34:17.230 --> 00:34:17.864
Of this book are drenched in that awareness of how how prone
00:34:17.997 --> 00:34:20.900
That awareness of how how prone to wander i am and a desire to
00:34:21.034 --> 00:34:21.868
To wander i am and a desire to come back and to remember not
00:34:22.001 --> 00:34:24.637
Come back and to remember not to neglect the most important
00:34:24.771 --> 00:34:25.338
To neglect the most important conversation i can i can have
00:34:25.472 --> 00:34:28.441
Conversation i can i can have today is not with my social
00:34:28.575 --> 00:34:29.175

It's not any of these other distractions in it's not with
00:34:33.413 --> 00:34:35.815
Distractions in it's not with the news headlines it's like
00:34:35.949 --> 00:34:36.549
The news headlines it's like and you know we call call it
00:34:36.683 --> 00:34:39.519
And you know we call call it social media and we try to
00:34:39.652 --> 00:34:40.186
Social media and we try to learn life hacks and
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:40.754
Learn life hacks and motivational speeches that we

Should eat more vegetables. >> i probably should eat more
00:34:48.228 --> 00:34:48.828
>> i probably should eat more vegetables but i just think
00:34:48.962 --> 00:34:50.530
Vegetables but i just think about that like lord, forgive
00:34:50.663 --> 00:34:51.264
About that like lord, forgive me for the times have focused
00:34:51.398 --> 00:34:54.367
Me for the times have focused on other conversations and put
00:34:54.501 --> 00:34:55.068
On other conversations and put those the most important one of
00:34:55.201 --> 00:34:58.738
Those the most important one of the day.
00:34:58.872 --> 00:34:59.105
The day. and so this book is about
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.107
And so this book is about taking care of first things
00:35:01.241 --> 00:35:01.808
Taking care of first things first and also knowing that no
00:35:01.941 --> 00:35:02.575
First and also knowing that no matter how how far away no
00:35:02.709 --> 00:35:05.145
Matter how how far away no matter how far distance you
00:35:05.278 --> 00:35:05.812
Matter how far distance you might feel from god it's
00:35:05.945 --> 00:35:08.214
Might feel from god it's one prayer back.
00:35:08.348 --> 00:35:08.681
One prayer back. it's just like the god who you
00:35:08.815 --> 00:35:12.619
It's just like the god who you is just a whisper away waiting
00:35:12.752 --> 00:35:13.353
Is just a whisper away waiting for you to ask him or waiting
00:35:13.486 --> 00:35:15.755
For you to ask him or waiting yeah you just you just express
00:35:15.889 --> 00:35:16.589
Yeah you just you just express that so beautifully in this
00:35:16.723 --> 00:35:20.059
That so beautifully in this book i just want to say
