What's Your Favorite Historical Figure?

Nipen Mode: Out of all the historical figures you have researched, whom would you like to meet most? I think leonardo. He was a person who best knew everything you could possibly learn about every subject that was knowable. Nipen mode: If you love art and anatomy as well as math and medicine and music and zoology then you see patterns. And so people who see those patterns, to me, are the most creative.

Because man, I think about like, you know, Christ being our shepherd our high priest, you know, the man, like, even if it's just in consideration of me and how he deals with me. It's got to be, it's got to be tough, you know, and, you know, just in terms of my stubbornness and my rebellion and my mistakes. And yet, how he continues to love and lead and shepherd. And so anyways, I took that and I realized that, man, I'm like, I want to love and lead these people well. And I want to give of myself to them and leading them to greater understanding greater application of the scriptures in their lives. And, you know, putting aside all of the things that would cause me otherwise to think, and this person just isn't very lovable. This person isn't all that likable. I'm sure those things are true of me, like, you know, for some people I'm generally pretty direct in my speech. And, you know, I, as a joke, I tell people that sarcasm is my love language. And so, not everybody, not everybody deals with that joke. I want to, I want to like preface it with like that it's a joke so that everybody knows, but you know, because, because man, my experience has been that not everybody responds well to that, not everybody. I'm really perfect. I put myself forward as someone that's very confident and, you know, that has been that has been a source of intimidation for some people, specifically women. And these are things that I've heard. It's not things that I'm projecting or thinking about myself and those things that I've heard. So, yeah, just like tweaking those things, like, you know, and I think that's been a process of sanctification in me that, like, they're, again, like, there might be, there's, there's a good and there's a right way to go about doing things. And so, I can speak something that's truth, but it can be really harsh and direct and not very kind of a member of the church. So, I bring all those things up to say like, you know, I have changed the way that I interact with people, certainly, especially women in the church, but there's, you know, I've changed the way that I interact with people as a means to, to shepherd and lead them well, certainly better than I have in the past.
