Do you have someone in your life you like to spend time with to grow in wisdom? For me, one of those amazing people is Robby Gallaty. Robby is the lead pastor at Long Hollow Baptist Church. Growing up, Robby battled a drug addiction that ravaged his life. A $180 a day heroin and cocaine addiction forced him to steal $15,000 from his parents. After living without gas, electricity, and water for months, losing 8 of his friends to drug related deaths, watching 6 friends arrested, and completing two rehab treatments, Robby remembered the gospel that was shared with him by a friend in college and was radically saved on November 12, 2002. Eight months later, David Platt, a seminary student and church member at the time, asked Robby to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. For the next 2 years, David installed a passion for missions, expository preaching, and disciple-making in his life. You will be so inspired by Robby's story, and wisdom today.

Who was your favorite athlete growing up?  For me it was Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr. and Darryl Strawberry. I remember Darryl Strawberry could throw the ball from the fences all the way to the catcher, there was no one like him. What I didn't know was the amazing way God worked in Darryl Strawberry's story. From enduring an abusive father as a young child, to catapulted fame, and success as a Major League Baseball player, Darryl soon began to pursue the wrong things and spent much of his life addicted to drugs and pleasure. But even while he was chasing the wrong things, God was chasing him the whole time, and now not only is Darryl sober, but he is a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

One of the greatest things we can live for is the glory of God. Have you ever heard anyone talk about this before? My guest this week is Louie Giglio, Pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and the founder of Passion Conferences. His mantra for decades has been from Isaiah 26:8, "Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." He is calling for a 268 generation. There is something about this heart that yearns for the glory of God. I believe it was we were all created for -- to know God and to make Him known. To live for His glory, and to enjoy Him forever. All other pursuits miss their ultimate purpose without this. I still remember hearing about one of the old Passion gatherings in a field twenty years ago when I was a student in my college dorm. It impacted me profoundly back then, and Louie shares some of those personal stories about that meeting. So buckle up, because God showed up in our conversation today!
