And one of the things he said, which I think is so true for me, is that most people Miss God by 12 inches between their head and their heart. They miss Jesus between 12 inches. And that was me. You know, I grew up in a Baptist church. I grew up intellectually believing the Bible is true, that it's good, that Jesus is good, that I should follow him there are some rules I should follow.
