It is Romans 7:14-25 for anyone curious.
Paul describes the internal war with sin perfectly: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. … What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” (NIV).
He explains the sinful nature (flesh) still at work even when the mind agrees with God’s law—doing the very things we don’t want, because sin “living in me” hijacks us. It ends with hope: thanks to Jesus Christ, delivering us from this body of death while we still battle in the flesh.
Theo Von recently echoed this raw honesty—struggling with old habits, pain, and wanting change but feeling stuck in the same patterns. It hits because it’s universal: the frustration of knowing better yet repeating what harms us. Paul’s point isn’t defeat—it’s that self-effort fails; grace through Christ wins the war. Many relate deeply to that tension between desire and action.
"This place was packed with all Nebraska fans. ... I've never seen anything like this. It had to be 17,000 Nebraska fans here."
@realchriswebber joined the @richeisenshow to talk about the NCAA tournament and was shocked to see all the Nebraska fans 😅
Bob Odenkirk drops a heartbreakingly beautiful truth on Mike Birbiglia:
“Who are you jealous of?”
“Anybody who’s still got little kids at home growing up. No question.”
He explains: When his kids were young, he knew exactly who he was every single day.
“I didn’t have to ask myself, ‘What am I doing here? How can I be meaningful today?’
The answer was simple: Pick up everything between here and the door, make sure they get to school, have a laugh with them.
You absolutely know who you are.
You’re a dad.”
The quiet ache of purpose fulfilled—and now missed. Hits hard for anyone who’s been there (or wishes they were).
Dads (and moms) who’ve had that phase: Does this resonate?
Parents still in the thick of it: Do you feel that clarity every day?
Jimmy Carr shared a brutally honest take on life without kids that will hit hard for anyone who's ever weighed the choice:
“Not having kids was like living life with a cheat code on the video game. Super easy. Low stakes. No real skin in the game.”
He continues:
Once you have children, your heart literally lives outside your body.
You worry about mortality differently — because now dying means saying goodbye to them.
Suddenly you're not playing on easy mode anymore. You're at the high-stakes table.
And his final word? “It’s very joyful.”
In 54 seconds he captures something profound:
The deepest fulfillment often comes from the highest risk — the one where you have everything to lose.
Parents: Does this perfectly describe the shift you felt?
Child-free: Does it change how you see the trade-off?
This speech goes so damn hard 🤯
Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia, U.S. Army (retired) was the first and only living Medal of Honor recipient from the Iraq War.
He earned the Purple Heart (and ultimately the Medal of Honor) for his actions on Nov 10, 2004, during the brutal Second Battle of Fallujah.
As a squad leader, he single-handedly entered a booby-trapped house to rescue pinned-down soldiers, clearing rooms in close quarters combat, killing multiple insurgents with rifle, grenades, and hand-to-hand fighting.
All while under heavy fire. His heroism saved his men and earned him the nation's highest awards for valor and wounds received in action.
A true military legend. 🇺🇸
