There ARE men like this out there. They are the ones who passionately love the Lord, not the ones who just give lip service and their life does not reflect Christ. I had that kind and now have the former. I am incredibly grateful. Look for the ones on fire. They fear God and take their desires captive so they don’t ruin their families.
He was just stocking frozen pizzas.
Red Baron polo on. Glasses. Trying to get through another late shift.
A prankster walks up, asks for the time, holds a phone to his phone, plays the Apple Pay sound, and laughs.
"Thanks bro, I just took your money."
Walt looks at him and says it plain.
It’s not a joke to me.
My life is hard enough as it is.
You’re probably making money off this.
I can’t even pay my mortgage.
I got four kids at home.
So not funny.
He wasn’t performing for the camera.
He was tired.
He was late getting home again.
His kids had already gone to bed without him.
He was up at 5 a.m. to hit more stores.
And some stranger treated his day like content.
That clip went everywhere because millions of people heard their own life in those words.
The early mornings.
The mortgage that never gets easier.
The four kids that need you more than the job can pay.
The feeling that you work hard and somehow still end up behind.
You don’t have to be a pizza stocker in Michigan for that to resonate.
You just have to know what it feels like to give everything and still come up short.
People who had never met Walt recognized him instantly.
They saw the red shirt and the frozen aisle and thought, “That could be my dad. My brother. My neighbor. Me.”
A quarter of a million dollars in his GoFundMe, and still climbing.
It's not about one viral moment.
It’s people saying the quiet part out loud.
Hard work should be enough.
It shouldn’t take a stranger’s camera and a public breakdown for a man with four kids to catch a break.
Walt didn’t ask for any of it.
He just wanted to finish his shift and get home.
And a whole lot of Americans decided that was worth standing up for.
God Bless Walt.
And God Bless America.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.
I wish somebody would’ve taught me this before I started reading my Bible.
If you want to know who Jesus is, read the book of John.
If you want to go deeper into your identity in Christ, read the book of Ephesians.
If you want to learn how to live in holiness in a GODLESS culture… read the book of 1 Corinthians.
If you want to have wisdom for life, read the book of Proverbs.
If you want to know the origin of the universe and everything that exists, and why the world is broken today, read the book of Genesis.
If you want to understand the Gospel and learn what you should believe as a Christian, read the book of Romans.
If you want to understand why life without God has no meaning (even if you achieve success, status, money, and pleasure…) read Ecclesiastes.
If you want to learn how to find joy in the midst of your trial and suffering, read Philippians.
If you want to hear how the church was born and what the first Christians did through the power of the Holy Spirit, read the book of Acts.
If you want to learn how to put your faith into practice, read the book of James.
If you want to learn how to pray with honesty, even in the midst of lament, read the book of Psalms.
If you want to see a preview of what will happen in the future and remind yourself that, in the end, Christ wins every battle, read the book of Revelation.
St Jerome was right when he said: “The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning…. and deep enough for a theologian to swim in without ever touching the bottom"
You CANNOT read the Bible and not have it change your life.
The older I get, the more I realize that life has seasons. And not every season needs to be your best one. Some seasons are for building. Some are for healing. Some are for just surviving. You don’t have to win every single chapter for the whole story to turn out well.
WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
My life’s work has been taken away from me.
My YouTube channel was terminated yesterday, with over 600,000 subscribers.
Since 2017, I’ve uploaded more than 4,000 videos to The Moon Show, covering Bitcoin.
Building this channel has required years of relentless work, sacrifice, and dedication.
I’ve had the privilege of sharing my journey and analysis with an incredible community.
Yesterday, @YouTube took this away from me…
My team and I are doing everything possible from our side.
I urgently ask @TeamYouTube and @YouTubeCreators to manually investigate, help secure the account, and reinstate The Moon Show.
More than 4,000 videos and nearly a decade of my life are tied to this channel.
Please help me get it back.
RETWEET PLEASE!!!
The older I get, the more I realize that life has windows. Windows to take that big risk. To go all-in and build the thing. To chase that person you love. To spend time with your parents and kids. To go on crazy adventures. To do physically challenging things. Some windows reopen. But many don’t. A beautiful life is built by simply having the courage to dive through when you see them open in front of you.
