Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today on Summit Life with JD. Greer.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's one thing to hear what I'm saying about God
and say that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
I disagree with it. It is entirely.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Arrogant and bigoted to do the other thing, which says
you don't really know.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
What you believe.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
So don't limp along intellectually and do the very thing
that you are denying to others just because you don't
have the courage to actually think through to tell somebody
I disagree with what you believe.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
If you won't decide about.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
God being God, you're limping intellectually. If you won't decide
of which God is God, you're limping along through life.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Welcome to a new week of teaching here on Summit
Life with Pastor JD. Greer. As always, I'm your host,
Molly Videvich. You know, every once in a while, we're
bound to come to some defining moments, a major crossroad
in life, like a marriage proposal, or pursuing a new
career or moving to a new city, and either way
you choose, you know your life will never truly be

(00:58):
the same again. Well, today we're looking at one of
those defining moments for the nation of Israel when they
had to make the immense choice between serving God or
serving idols, and Pastor JD. Greer is showing us that
we each have to make that same decision in our
own lives even today. It's part of our teaching series
titled Something Better, and Pastor JD. Titled this message as

(01:20):
a question one God or many.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Israel is at a place in Onet King's eighteen where
they've got to make a decision, and Elijah's going to
call them to that decision.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
He's going to say, Hey, you can't go on any
longer not making a decision.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
You got to decide whether God is your God or
whether you're not really fully committed to God. But you
can't go along just kind of following the path of
Lee's resistance like you have been. You got a Bible
and it might you to take it out and open.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It to First Kings Chapter eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Israel has been on a downward spiral for about two
hundred years in which they've begun to worship a lot
of other gods besides Jehovah.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Jehovah of course mean.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Israe God, the God that delivered them from slavery, the
one creator of all the universe. The king of Israel
at this time is a guy named Ahab, and Ahab
is pretty much a spineless whimp. On the one hand,
he's kind of a worshiper of Jehovah. I say that
because he named his kids a Haziah and Jehoram. A
Haziah means owned by Jehovah, and Jehorah means Jehovah is exalted.

(02:23):
Then in those days' names are very significant, So he's
kind of a worshiper of Jehovah. But on the other hand,
he chooses for his wife the wicked witch of the West, Jezebel,
who is fully committed to bail. Not just fully committed,
but she is committed to removing the worship of God
from Israel. And so she has a lot of God's
prophets killed, and she tears down a lot of the synagogues,

(02:45):
and in their place she's building temples to bail, and
she is making trying to make bail worship the official
state religion. And Ahab is too much of a spinalless wimp.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
To do anything about it.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So God, into this situation raises up a real man, Elijah,
and Elijah's mission is to show that there's only one God, Jehovah,
and to call Israel back to worship him. Elijah's name
in Hebrew, I told you this literally means the Lord
is God, elie Jah, elie God, Jah the Lord.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
So his name is kind of the point of his life.
He's trying to show what is distinctive about Jehovah.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
He's trying to show there's not a bunch of gods
and you just choose whichever one you want.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
There's one God, the Lord. He is God.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
He's trying to show what is distinctive about him. And
so we come today to this epic battle on top
of Mount Carmel.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I told you last.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Week that all the stories in Elijah's life have been
leading up to this battle, and so this is kind
of the moment that all this has been building toward
the moment when the question is answered, is there one God?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Or are there many Gods? Now?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I told you a few weeks ago that when I
was growing up, I always thought Bail was like one guy,
you know, one God, as he had God and Bail.
But that's not true. Bail was more like a title.
There were hundreds of bales. There was bales for just
about every sphere of life, and the bail of good
send the bail of the harvest, and you had the
bail of prosperity and success. You had the bail of
military power, the bail of economic might.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You see a lot of times think about this. I
know this is true.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
A lot of times we hear stories like this and
we're like, oh, look at all those silly primitive people
with all their gods. They're so backwards, they got their
little statues out. We are so far advanced beyond them.
Yet think about it, we worship the exact same things
they do, sex, prosperity, family power. At least they recognized

(04:36):
that they had these things had a spiritual dimension to them.
They had the ability to grab a hold of our souls.
They have the ability to penetrate us and consume us.
We often don't recognize that, which makes them in many
ways ahead of us.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You see, all.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Humans are worshippers. We all find something that we give
ultimate worth to. That's where we get the word worse
from worthship worship. You find something that is so worthy,
so valuable, that you couldn't imagine life being any.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Good without that thing.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
That thing defines you to obtain that thing determines whether
or not your life has real value. Now I know
somebody's like, no, no, no, no, not me. I'm not a worshiper.
I'm not even religious at all. That's just because you
don't understand how your soul works. Your soul finds something
that it applies infinite value too. It may not be
traditional religion in that sense, but you feel like without

(05:30):
this one thing, or without this set of things, life
is not worth living. You could no more turn off
your drive for worship by not being religious than you
could turn off your sex drive by remaining single.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
This is not how it works.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
An idol, a bail is anything that takes on ultimate
worth to you. It becomes your primary source of security,
your primary source of fulfillment, your primary identity.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
For example, money for many people is their.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Primary source of security. That's why you're so worried about
it all the time. That's why you can't obey God.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
In the area of money. You like, I can't give
my money away because.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
My money is so it's going to take care of
me in the future. I couldn't imagine life.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Being okay without a good pile of money.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Right money is nothing wrong with money, usually listen. Idols
are not usually bad things. Idols are usually good things
that we turn into God things. For some people, family
is fulfillment when they think about the good life, it
always revolves around having the right kind of family. That's
why if you're single, for some of you, you think
the idea of growing old single is just devastating to you,

(06:31):
because you can't imagine life being okay without being properly married.
If you're a if you're not in a good marriage,
that's why you daydream about getting out of that marriage
and trying to get because you're like, how could life
be good if I.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Don't have the right kind of family.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's why some of you, as you get older, are
getting bitter and unhappy because your kids aren't doing what
you always hope they would do, and you think that
in order for your life to be good, you got
to have kids that live at a certain distance from you,
kids that treat you a certain way. And that's why
it's because it's an idol that's becoming.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
So devasta to you.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A lot of people find their identity in something besides God.
They find their identity in their accomplishments. I've told you before,
this is me. For years, I have established my identity
based on how good I was at something, and I
just dragged that right into the pastor, and so I
many times will judge my identity based on how successful

(07:20):
I'm being as a pastor. These things are things that
we worship in our day. There are hundreds of false gods,
just like there were.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
In Elijah's day.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
John Calvin used to say that the human heart is
an idle factory. You have as many bales in your
heart right now as Jezebel has been trying to put
in Israel. So do not think for a second this
is a quaint little story about some backward primitive people
that lived couple thousand years ago. This is a story
about you. This is a battle that takes place in

(07:51):
your heart. And if you are not aware this battle
is taking place in your heart, then you are more
deluded than anybody, because this is the ultimate battle of
your life, which God is God.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
First King, Chapter eighteen.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
You really got to read this with a dramatic drum
beat behind it. Okay, I'm not gonna do that for
obvious reasons, but it just because the pace quickens in
the story, and it starts taking on verse seventeen when.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Ahab saw Elijah.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Remember, Aha has been looking for Elijah for three and
a half years, trying to kill him because Elija stopped
the ring.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, is it you?
Is it you?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
You troubler of Israel. Troubler is a Hebrew word that
means one who wreaks havoc, a pestilence, a plague. And
so Ahab is looking at Elijah and saying, there you
are there, you are you plague, you pimple, you cank
or sore verse eighteen. And Elijah answered, I have not
troubled Israel, but you have in your father's house because

(08:46):
you've abandoned the commandments of the Lord and you followed
the bales. So the first question this passage presents to
us is who is the real troubler?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Who's a real troubler? Let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Are you in a place where someone is speaking truth
into your life and you are hating them for it?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is that person me?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Could we just be honest for a minute, And you're
just busy trying to find faults. You're busy trying to
come up with excuses, and maybe, for just a minute,
could I just get you to stop and think, maybe
the trouble or is not the person in your life
that is causing you that pain. Maybe the real trouble
is what they're pointing to. And maybe, for the first
time in your life, could you have a little bit
of humility to say, maybe maybe I'm causing a lot

(09:32):
of my pain in this person and simply pointing it out.
Think of how pain works in our physical body, right,
I mean pain. I don't like pain, and when I
get rid of pain, I get rid of it as
fast as possible.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Right. But pain is a good thing. I mean, imagine you.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Had a little dial on your wrist where you could
just turn down pain. That would be devastating because when
you lean against a hot stove and you begin to
melt your hand, that pain, believe it or not, is
a good messenger saying you are destroying your hand. The
real pain is not the problem. What's causing the pain
is the problem. Maybe the trouble in your life is
there as a gift of God to points you to

(10:05):
something that is deeply wrong inside of your heart. That's
what aheb should have recognized Verse nineteen. Now, therefore Elijah says,
sin and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel.
And the four hundred and fifty prophets of Bail and
the four hundred prophets of Astrarah who eat at Jessebel's table?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
How big was that table? Just out of curiosity, These.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Are the questions I asked when I come to study
a passage of scripture, and no commentator answers, then how
big was that table?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Verse twenty.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
So Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and
gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel. And Elijah came
near to all the people, and he said, how long
are you going to go? On?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Limp?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Being between two different opinions? If the Lord is God,
follow him. But if Bail is God, then follow him. Now,
some translations there will say waiver. Literally the Hebrews says, sink.
How long will you sink between two opinions? But limp
is a really good translation, because that is a good
picture of where these people are. They're not fully committed
to God, yet they're not fully committed.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
To Bail either. They ever reject to God.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
They're just limping along between the two, taking usually the
path of least resistance, without really being fully committed to
either direction. But some things require a verdict, and to
not decide in itself becomes a decision, and you begin
to limp along through life, which is exactly again, where
many of you are. For example, if you're one of
the ones who says, oh, all religions are the same,

(11:27):
you know they're all head of the same place. It's just,
you know, it's a big deal. You are limping intellectually.
I don't mean to insult you, okay, but you're not
really thinking strong intellectually. I mean you think about it
like this. We've all heard the little statement that God's
like a mountain. You know, whatever way you choose to
get the top is great. You know it's wrong on
the same place. You got your path, I got my path,

(11:49):
you know it. Little things are different, but we're all
headed to the same place, and all religions are the same.
Can think, what is again no offense, but ridiculous about that.
In order for you to say that all paths are
headed to the same point, what do you have to
be able to see.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
The whole mountain? Now?

Speaker 2 (12:09):
You have to be able to see that all the
paths are leading to the same place. For you to
make a statement like that, which means you are claiming
for yourself the one thing you're denying to everybody else,
how bigoted could you possibly be for you to deny
to somebody the very thing you claim for yourself, which
is that you see the whole mountain.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Thanks for joining us today for summitt Life with Pastor JD. Greer.
We'll resume today's teaching in a moment, but I wanted
to make a special announcement about a brand new group
we've started here at Summit Life. We now have a
special Facebook group for our Gospel Partners. Our Gospel partners
are people who commit to a regular monthly gift to
this ministry and truly make this ministry possible. We couldn't

(12:53):
do this without them. This private Facebook group allows our
Gospel partners to connect with one another from across the world,
pray together, and discuss exclusive content that we share with them,
as well as allowing us here at Summit Life to
communicate directly throughout the week or month in an informal
and casual environment. We want to pour into our Gospel

(13:15):
partners as much as they pour into this ministry, and
this exclusive Facebook group is one of the ways we
want to say thank you. If you would like to
join our team as a Gospel partner and then become
part of this exclusive group, just give us a call
at eight six six three three five fifty two twenty
or visit Jdgreer dot com. Now let's get back to

(13:35):
today's teaching here on Summit Life once again. Here's Pastor JD.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
You're like, well, I just don't like how dogmatic Christians
and Muslims are. And you realize that to say that
all religions are the same is essentially a dogmatic statement,
and you don't even seem to realize how dogmatic you
actually are. I got a good friend who is a Muslim.
He lives here in the area as a professor. Our
families have gotten to know each other over the years.
I've had him in his whole family in my house

(14:01):
for dinner one night, and when we all get in
the kitchen, you know we're about to serve dinner, it
just hits me like, I'm just you know, I gotta pray.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
We do this every night, we pray for a dinner.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
So I look at him and I'm like, hey, you know,
when you and I are eating lunch together, usually I
just kind of do my thing and I pray and
you do your thing. Now that our families are together,
should I just pray for everybody?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Is that okay?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
And he thought for second he said no, No, I have
an idea, he said, He said, why don't we have
my daughter, who was his daughter was eleven years old.
Why don't we have her pray for our family, and
then your daughter, who was seven years old at.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
The time, she can pray for your family.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well that's great, except I've had zero prep time with
my daughter. And so I was like, oh, sure, you know,
I'm not gonna be out prayed by my Muslim friend
and so his his daughter, his daughter. We all bow
our heads, you know, and my you know, family's dutifully
lined up here. And this girl kind of lifts up
her head and she for forty five seconds, which doesn't

(14:56):
sound like a long time, but when you don't understand
a word coming out of her mind and she's just
rattling off Arabic for forty five seconds, it felt like
an eternity. And we're all standing there and I'm kind
of making sure the family is not, you know, looking around,
and then she finally gets to something that sounds like amen.
And then there's this kind of this pause, and I'm like, oh,
this is it, this is the moment. And it would

(15:16):
kind of wait for a few segments, and I'm looking
out of the corner of my eye and my seven
year old daughter who is just waits there, just beyond
that point where it was really getting awkward, and I.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Didn't say anything to it.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
And she lifts up her eyes like this, and she
opens her hands and she says, Lord.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
This is her exact words, Lord, thank you for sending your.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Son Jesus to this earth to die in across for
our sins so that we can be saved. And thank
you for leaving us the Holy Bible so that we
could all know about it.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
In Jesus' name. Amen. And I was like part of
me was like what and the other part of me
was like, eh, no, no, no, no, no no no, you.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Know, because I'm gonna think he is totally thinking I'm
gonna put it my daughter up this, but I had
no I have time with her, right So it's created
some awkward situations between.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Us, for sure, and we have talked about. We have disagreed.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
He thinks I am dead wrong about things that I
think about God.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
But both of us love living in this country.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We both love being able to believe what we want
to believe and be able to worship, and we'll want
to worship. What neither of us can stand, though, is
that group of people that looks at us and says, oh,
you guys actually believe the same thing, because we're like,
how big it could you possibly be? Now, you assume
that you know better what we believe than we do,
as if you have some supreme view of reality where
you can actually look and you're so far beyond us that.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
You can see that what we actually believe is the
same thing.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's one thing to hear what I'm saying about God
and say that's wrong, I disagree with it, which my
Muslim friend does. It is entirely arrogant and bigoted to
do the other thing, which says you don't really know
what you believe, so don't limp along intellectually and do
the very thing that you are denying to others just
because you don't have the courage to actually think through
to tell somebody had.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
This agree with what you believe.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
If you won't decide about God being God, you're limping intellectually.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
If you won't decide of which God is God.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
You're limping along through life and what you serve and
and what you worship.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Elijah says to these people, He's like, look.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
If bail is God, serve him. Here's what I would
tell you. If money is your God, serve it, Oh,
with all your heart.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
You get a cheat to get it.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Cheat because money is the ultimate good. If you've got
to sacrifice your family or your integrity to get it,
sacrifice it. Don't obey God with it. Don't obey God
with your money. If money is the ultimate good, then
serve it with all your heart. What I can't understand
are a group of people that said, and listen to
me every week you say no, no, no, God is our God,
but you won't obey God in the area of money.

(17:44):
So you won't obey God in the area of money.
And I'm like, how long you don't limp along between
two opinions. If God is God, then obey him and
serve him. If money's God, then why don't you give
up on God and go with money? Or how about
parents that we have that would sit here and say, oh, yeah,
God is my God. Yes, yes, God is my God.
But the way that you hyperstructure your kids' lives shows
that what you really value is them getting into the
right schools so that they can get the right job

(18:06):
so they can make a lot of money. It seems
to be that you actually would say that God is
your God, but what you do with your kids shows
that money is your God, because you seem to care
more about where your kids are going to go to
college than where they spend eternity, which is why you
got no time for things like student ministries and kids
ministry because God is simply not a priority.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
How long are you going.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
To limp along between two opinions Who's your God? Because
if God is God, then you should make that the
priority in your kid's life and say everything else is peripheral.
I'm going to make sure my kid knows and walks
with God. If romance is your God, then go anywhere
to find it. You're not need a good marriage, get
out of it, divorce, don't obey God there, just just
find good marriage that's ultimately what you want.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Go all the way with it.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Forget about your responsibilities to your kids. If romance is
your God, the important thing is you find in your soul.
If your soulmate happens to be married to your best friend, well,
then figure out a way to get your soulmate from
your best friend, because romance is the ultimate and highest good.
Now I realize probably none of you really think that.
I'm just trying to push you to the logical end.
If you're not willing to obey God in the area

(19:09):
of romance, if that's your God.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Obey it all the way.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Is sex as your God, then go have sex with
whomever and whenever you want try new stuff, try the
full spectrum of sexuality, of sex as your God. If
you're not willing to obey God in this area, then
go all the way. But if Christ, if Christ is
the one true God, serve him with all your heart.

(19:34):
How long are you going to go on limping between
two opinions?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
See, here's what I think.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
The joy in my life, the things I get the
most joy from all come from the fact that I'm
a wholehearted a follower of Jesus Christ, seeing faith formed
in my children, giving money away and watching what it does.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
In the Kingdom of God.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Those things are joy to me, and they're only joy
because I'm trying to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Joy is the
soul session of the wholehearted follower of Jesus Christ. And
many of you are miserable because you're just enough into
God to be miserable the world, and just enough in
the world be miserable God. And you need to choose
one way, and you need to get on with it,
like how long you go on limping throughout your life.

(20:13):
If God is God, then serve him. And if Bail
is God, then serve him. So Elijah throws that big
old question out there, and how's there by respond you
see a verse twenty one. And the people did not
answer him a word. They're all looking down to the ground,
kicking rocks. Oh, Cricket's plain in the background. So I

(20:33):
just says, all right, let's take two bulls. You take one,
put on an altar over there. I'm gonna take one, put
on an altar over here. Verse twenty four. Then you
call upon the name of your God, and I'll call
upon the name of the Lord. And I'll tell you what.
The God who answers by fire, he is God. And
the people answered, it is well spoken, in other words,
good idea.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Verse twenty five.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Bail, choose for
yourselves one bull. Prepare it first, for you were many,
and call upon the name of your god, but don't
put any fire to it.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
And of course all these prophets and beyl are thinking
you ediot. First of all this eight hundred and fifty
of us, and one of you. Second of all. Our
God is the god of lightning verse twenty six.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
And they took the bull that was given to them,
and they prepared it and called upon the name of
Bail from morning until noon, saying, oh, Bail, answer us.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
But there was no voice. No one answered, and they limped.
There's that word again.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
By the way, they limped around the altar that they
had made. Now this is my favorite part verse twenty seven.
And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, cry loud louder,
because he's a god. He either he is musing, which
means daydreaming, steering aimlessly into space, checking his Facebook page

(21:54):
on his phone to see how many likes he got
on his latest picture. Maybe he is musing or or
or maybe he's on a journey you should yell louder,
or this is the best one.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Maybe he is relieving himself.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Some of your NIV translations the Bible try to clean
that up and they just say busy. But the literal
Hebrew there is a euphemism meaning on the John. Hey,
maybe your god's taking a dump. Maybe he's got the
fan on he's got the fan on an and he
can't hear you, So why don't you yell louder? Or
maybe he is asleep and must be awakeed. This is

(22:29):
what we call righteous smack talking, righteous smack talk, holy sarcasm, batman.
All right, and let me just point out not all
sarcasm is wrong. Some things need to be mocked Verse
twenty eight. And they cried aloud, and they cut themselves
after their custom, with swords and lances, until the blood
gust out upon them. And as midday pass they raved
on until the time of the offering of the oblation.

(22:51):
But there was no voice, No one answered, no one
paid attention.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Are you a little into the world and a little
into God, or are you all in with your faith?
Like Elijah said, if the Lord is God, follow him.
You were listening to summitt life the Bible Teaching Ministry
of JD.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Greer.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
We talk about this a lot, but the mission of
Summitt Life is to help you dive deeper into the
Gospel message. So Pastor JD, can you tell us how
this study we are offering on Elijah and Elisha will
help us grow in our faith.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
One of the things that was surprising to me, Molly,
about Elijah's life in particular, was how before we have
the famous scene of him on top of Mount Carmra,
God takes him down to the brook Cherit and he
works on him, he humbles him. And what you realize
is that for each of us that God is going
to use, whether that's in a big way, a public way,
or whether it's just in the life of somebody else,

(23:44):
it's almost always preceded by a time of humbly and
so I think this study of Elijah and Elisha will
help you track some of what God is doing in
your life.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
That's why we've provided.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
This workbook to go along with it that studies through
the lives of Elijah and Elisha. This devotional work book
will follow along very closely with our on air teaching.
So I don't think you want to miss this resource.
I think it'll really amplify what you're learning, and I
think it'll help you really go deep into this. So
we'd love to give you one of these. You can
