Dr. Monica Larson: Amen. And so, let me ask you this, 'cause I know God has truly transformed your life even past that point because he's given you the ability for supernatural things like learning Spanish fluently, learning software packages, creating a Christian comic book and animated series and creating Christian merchandise. You're writing a book. You provide graphic services. So, can you share a little bit about all the amazing things God has turned your life around and given you these opportunities and blessings and gifts that you share with the world that glorifies him. .
Warrior Richardson: Yeah, I used to use my gifts for secular purposes, for secular objectives and they were always unfulfilling. I was good at them; but they were always unfulfilling. Quite a few years went by before i understood that "you're and artist. You need to use your art for the Gospel." That's what it is. That's why you're having problems. Everything is Gospel oriented. When I reached the point where I didn't care whether I lived or died because I was a walking contradiction and everything was meaningless but the only that gave my life meaning is God. Serving God is my purpose for living. I became suicidal at that point and then God reached down and called me and I understood the call and when I finally yielded I had purpose and my purpose...
it's like the Apostle Paul said: he said, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Now, for most people who say that it's a clever catchy phrase that you sound like a very mature Christian; but then when you look at the way most Christians live: they want a nice car. They want a nice house. They want a beautiful wife, a handsome husband; and we want all these things; but we don't live our lives, typically--people who call themselves Christian-- typically do not live their lives as if "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." because they don't want to die, and they don't want to give up all the material things that they derive pleasure from
