And here's the thing about soul winning.
Soul winning, at least it's this way for me, probably other soul winners would agree with
this is that it's always hard work.
I don't care how ideal the circumstances is.
Sometimes when you go to the receptive place where you're just preaching and preaching
to me that's harder than getting rejected.
I mean how hard is it to get rejected?
I wouldn't know.
No, I'm just kidding.
Some of you could probably write a book about it, right?
It's not that hard.
We're from a Baptist church, you want to know, okay.
Unless you're a snowflake, ooh, hurt my feelings.
Here's the thing, they didn't reject you, they rejected the message you're bringing.
And I've always joked about doing this and maybe it would just be good to do to prove
a point.
If we showed up at a door with a big check that said a million dollars on it and balloons
and a camcorder, people would be like, they'd come running out.
They wouldn't even care about the mask.
They wouldn't care.
Why?
Because it's the message you're bringing.
If we were, what with publishing houses, what was that one?
The sweepstakes?
I don't know.
You had to grow up in the 80s or something like that, came in those big envelopes, you
know.
Ed McMahon, that was the guy, right?
He always showed up with the check and, hey, we were like that, they'd just come running
to see us.
But they reject the message, not us.
So don't be a snowflake about it, you know.
And once you get over that, what you find out is being rejected is actually easier.
The unreceptive places really, when you think about it, are easier to go soloing.
It's when you go to the White Mountain Apache, it's like, I've knocked four doors and
preached a gospel four times in like two hours.
And yeah, it's great, and we love to do it.
But it can wear a person out, you know, having to preach and preach and turn your Bible.
And I'm not lamenting the fact, that's great, I mean, that's what I would prefer.
But if the reason why we're not going to go soloing in a less receptive place is because
we think it's harder, you're wrong.
It's the complete opposite.
I mean, it might be harder physically, some more so than others, right?
So I'm kind of getting a little worried about this Globe trip now that I'm thinking about it.
I walk up this step here and it's like, time to preach.
