Joe Rogan tells Theo Von to his face he’s “losing his f*cking marbles” during the latest episode of the podcast. Rogan then urged him to get off antidepressants after Von went on a bizarre rant. VON: “It’s all just a cat and mouse game.” “People are like, ‘we’ll elect the Democrats next time.’ But it’s all...the same sh*t has been happening forever.” “They haven’t been helping anybody forever.” “They’re letting f*cking politicians slurp on kids!” “All of our f*cking money goes to Israel and they’re using it to f*cking genocide people!” “It’s like, everybody is scared out of their wits right now. It’s like, our religious leaders are afraid to speak out.” “It’s like...the...it’s a time where it’s like...satan is amongst us and our religious leaders are talking about bullsh*t at the polls!” “It’s just like, what is going...I don’t know man.” ROGAN: “We gotta get you off those antidepressants, son.” “You’re losing your f*cking marbles!” VON: “You think I am?” ROGAN: “Come hang out with us. Just chill out!”
If you were going to invest $20K into a stock anyway, and it drops 80%. That drop just handed you $80K for free. Same $20K. Five times the ownership. The investor who understands this doesn't fear drawdowns. He hunts them.
My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)
