    With God. Who is Jesus? Do you find out that people want to get saved more at 65 than they do at 25? Oh, no, no, no, no. That's not a problem? No, the hunger comes early. It does? The predominant hunger is early, not later. It's early. Yeah, there's a hunger there. But it looks different than we think. And this is where most religious people miss it. is they misinterpret hunger they think hunger looks like i don't know they think it looks like what they look like but really what hunger looks like is when your soul tries to fill itself with everything and anything in an attempt to be satisfied and that looks different that i mean that explains a lot right that explains drug drug use that explains a promiscuous lifestyle. That explains blue hair, identity politics. It explains why you would gravitate towards a certain people that affirmed you, that approved of you. Hunger looks different.

    [55:00-55:17]

    Speaker reflects on the misdiagnosis of hunger and recalls their first experience with God's presence.
    And the problem is we misdiagnose hunger. But that hunger, that's just me. I remember being hungry. I remember the first time I had an experience with God. And I remember, like, I walked in, and I felt the presence of God.
