Mark 8:34. Jesus is telling his disciples, if you want to follow me, deny yourself. Take up your cross and follow me. It also talks about, if you try to hold on to your life, you'll lose it. But if you lose your life for my sake, you'll save it. And I didn't want to grip onto this life of, oh my gosh, I'm in the NFL, I have a starting quarterback role I can't lose. Was flipped. I was reminded of what Jesus had told us thousands of years ago in terms of don't try to hold on to your life. You're going to lo it, you know, and the world wants you to go this way or that way. And the minute you have fame and if you're trying to chase status and money and all this kind of stuff, it's, you'll lose your life. Rather than, you know, denying yourself, picking up your cross, keeping my eyes on Jesus and his promises and through that, like, that's. That's life, and that's a life worth living, and that's how you save your life.
