A Promise of Deliverance
"Song chapter 50 15, call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you shall glorify me. What a great verse. Like memorize this verse and then do it every time you face trouble. Every day you face trouble. So I'm 50 15 call upon me in the day of trouble. You can just think about what the verse clearly implies. We will have days of trouble. Some of you are experiencing right now a day of trouble. Even just that word, just what? Jesus promised us before he went to the cross in this world. You will have trouble trial challenges heartache, days when it's hard to keep going. Days when you are facing obstacles or opposition or so many different things that could be in this category of trouble. So when you have a day of trouble, call upon me, oh, just as it's clearly implied that we will have days of trouble, it's clearly implied that God will be right there, and we can call upon him and God says I will deliver you. I will bring you out of trouble. This is Jesus right after he tells us in this role we'll have trouble. He says, but take heart, I have overcome the world.

Identifying and Overcoming Fear
"Chapter 49 verse 5. Why should I fear in times of trouble? When the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me. I love the way the song mystery is asking questions of himself, looking within and saying to himself, why are you thinking this way? Why are you desiring this way? Why are you acting this way specifically? Why are you afraid in times of trouble? And I just want to encourage you to stop today and ask a similar question in your life. What do you fear in your life? I did an exercise recently with a group of people and we just stopped and said, how many of us struggle with fear and so many people admitted to struggling persistently with fear of a variety of different things and whether we would say we struggle with fear or not? The reality is we're all prone to fear certain things. So I would just ask you to consider today what do you fear if you add to identify things you either struggle with fear over or things you are prone to fear? What comes to your mind and for the psalmist here in some 49, the picture is fear in times of trouble. Fear over what's going to happen, fears specifically over what others might do to him or threaten to do to him. We see this at different places in the psalms. People fearing as they consider what others might do to them because others can do a lot of harm to us, the picture of solid 49 5 is they can cheat you, they can surround you, they can accuse you, they can attack you, they can slander you, they can work for your ruin, there's all kinds of things that people can do to you, but the song is continually comes back to the truths that Romans ate makes most clear if God is for me and I don't have to be afraid. Who can stand against me if God is for me

He Delights in You
"Psalm chapter 48 versus 9 and ten. We have thought on your steadfast love O God in the midst of your temple. As your name O God so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. I love these two verses. And the way they fit together. So just our verse 9, we have thought on your steadfast level God and the midst of your temple. The whole song was about being in the temple and the presence of God, where his glory dwells in verse 9 says we think about when you're in verse 9 says when we're in your temple in the middle of it, we think about your steadfast love. Oh God. And then a good thing to do today, like right now. Just think about his steadfast love. God, steadfast love for you. Just meditate on it. How much he loves you? How much he delights in you all the ways he has shown and is showing even right now his love for you. I just think about it. Paul's prayer and ephesians chapter three that you would know the height and width and breadth and depth of God's love for you in Jesus. Think about John 15 abide in my love as the father has loved me, so I have loved you, remain in my love, spend time during your day just stopping and meditating on God's love for you. And then that's verse 9 verse ten says Azure name O God so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth and so this picture of the God who loves sinners whose worthy of praise to the ends of the earth. In other words, his love is not just for you or for me. His love is for all the peoples of the world to the ends of the earth. He loves them all, God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son.

The Exaltation of the Lord
"Psalm chapter 47 versus one and two clap your hands all peoples shout to God with loud songs of joy. For the lord, the most ties to be feared, a great king over all the earth. I love this first and especially the way it follows on the end of the chapter before it. So some 46 verse ten says be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among all the nations. I will be exalted in all the earth. God sang, be still. My purpose in the world is going to be accomplished. My exaltation among all the nation. That is God's purpose in the world. God is orchestrating all of history or his exaltation in all the earth, which means if that's God's purpose in the world, and we are worshipers of God and followers of God children of God and what's our purpose in the world. Our purpose in the world is the exaltation of our God among all the nations

A Call to Consider the Poor
"Tom chapter 41 verse one. Blessed is the one who considers the poor. In the day of trouble, the lord delivers him. You know, I want to actually read that one more time, but I want to emphasize how that first phrase ends in an exclamation point. So I'm 41 verse one says blessed is the one who considers the poor exclamation point. And this is God saying to you and me right now that there is blessing that is found in listen to the language considering the poor. I stopping and contemplating thinking about rang four and the implication clearly is working toward the good of the poor. I just want to ask each of us to consider. Is that happening in our lives or specifically how is that happening in our lives? Are we stopping in our lives and thinking about praying for and working for the good of the poor around us? How is that playing out in your life? How's that playing out in my life? This is God with an exclamation point in his word, saying there is blessing that is found here. Obviously, this verse, in addition to hundreds of verses, all over the Bible to talk about gods, consideration of the poor, the way God sees and knows, thinks about and works for the good of the poor and how God causes people to consider the poor. Commands us to do this. Some 41 one is telling us there is blessing that is found here. So I want to encourage you today just to do this to consider the poor to think about pray for and consider how God is calling you and me to work for the good of the poor around us.

A Reminder to Guard Your Words
"Psalm 39 one. I said I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue. What I could reverse, I simple, powerful verse, especially to meditate on at the beginning of a day and to remember all throughout a day and then to look back at the end of a day and evaluate. Have I guarded my ways and not send with my tongue or to say at the start of a day, God, help me to guard my ways today and not sin with my tongue. I think about James chapter three, the tongue is a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person. It sets the course of his life on fire, with the tongue we praise our lord and father and with it we curse men who've been made and God's likeness out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be what a warning that our words can be used for such good to bring such glory to God and at the same time our words can so quickly be used for such evil and I would encourage us as we meditate on this picture sitting with our tongues, not even to limit that to what we speak, but also what we write in a day where we post things on social media or we write emails or send text messages and so many ways we are using so many words. Just think about all the words you will use today. I will use today. Or if you're listening to this of a day to think back to all the words we used, it is good to pray. It is good to say, so I'm 39. I said, I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue. God, we pray that you would help us to do this. Please help us to guard our ways that we might not send with our tongues.

Delight in the Lord
"Psalm chapter 37 verse four, the light yourself in the lord. And he will give you the desires of your heart. Is that not a great verse? It's a simple, glorious verse, this picture of delighting yourself in the lord. Even that imagery, one of my sons and I were talking this week just about all this imagery and the songs, there's so many phrases with such rich word pictures. And this is one of them light yourself in the lord. That's a command from psalm 37. The light yourself and God enjoy God. And he will give you the desires of your heart and really there's multiple directions that goes when you think about the rest of scripture. One God will put his desires in your heart. He will implant in your heart, his desires he'll give you the desires of your heart. And that what we want. We've mentioned it multiple times on this podcast that the secret to prayer is making your wants, gods wants, and then asking for whatever you want. And so to pray, God, give us the desires of our hearts put your desires in us and then for every desire that we have that comes from him, every desire that is in alignment with his word. We can ask and know that God will answer according to what his word says

He Is Worthy of New Song
"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical .NET. Psalm chapter 33 verse three sing to him a new song, play skillfully on the strings. It allowed shouts. I love this verse and particularly that first phrase sing to him a new song. This is a phrase we see multiple times in the psalms and all the way to the end of the Bible in the book of revelation when it says they sang a new song saying, and I want you to think with me about why we would sing a new song. I mean, for thousands and thousands of years, there have been songs sung to God, so why do we need new songs? Why would there be a command even here? To sing a new song. Well, think about it. You might sing a new song when you discover or experience something new about God about the one you're singing about or singing too. When you think about God, he is infinite in his glory, which means 10 trillion years from now, we'll still be discovering more glory in God, which means we'll still be singing new songs about things we've seen and things we've experienced in God. So there's that sense in which we are continually seeing experiencing more in God that leads to new songs, and then you think about as the gospel spreads from generation to generation and music changes in different ways. Then God's people in successive generations sing new songs. We're seeing songs today that are different from what God's people were singing a thousand years ago, or a hundred years ago, and we also sing some of those songs, so we sing old songs and new songs, and then think about this as we pray for the spread of the gospel among all the nations. There are thousands of people groups writing in a languages where songs are not being sung and prays to God because they've not been reached by the gospel, but when they're reached by the gospel and people come to Christ and they gather together as the church, then they compose what new songs. I think about one of my favorite songs that I have recorded on my phone. It's from very remote tribe in Asia that had been totally unreached by the gospel until some missionaries at great cost to their lives took the gospel there and people believed it specifically a young girl who then shared the gospel with her mom and dad and her mom and dad believed the gospel and soon thereafter were stoned by the religious tribal leaders in that village because they had put their faith and Jesus in what they called a foreign God and this young girl teenage girl sat down and wrote the first song of worship in her language to God praising him for his love and his faithfulness even amidst hardship and death specifically the death of her parents in this world. She sang a new song. I've got that song recorded on my phone when I listened to it. I can't help but to pray. Well, to lead us in prayer right now, even just thinking about it, God, you are worthy of new songs in every generation and every nation as we discover and experience and see more and more and more of you and all of your glory. And as your glory spreads in the world. So we say yes, we want to sing new songs forever. We want to sing new songs today and go rewatch new songs to be selling around the world to your glory. Gotta replay today for the shahari people of Saudi Arabia. No known followers of Jesus among them. Speakers of the shahari that live in Saudi and Oman and Yemen, God we pray for songs of worship to be sung in the shahari language, please God bringing about for your glory caused songs and shouts to arise in shahari, giving you praise Jesus. We pray to help us to live for this, to live, to see your song spread all over the world, even as we sing new songs in our lives and our churches and we lift up loud shouts of praise to you. You are worthy of new songs and loud shouts of praise in our lives and our churches and among all the nations. We pray this in a light of your word and solve 33 verse three in Jesus name amen.

Joy Restored
"Psalm chapter 30 versus 11 and 12, you have turned for me my morning into dancing. You've loosed my and closed me with gladness that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. It's really interesting even as I was just sitting down to record this podcast episode, some things were brought to my attention that are really heavy on my heart and I come to song chapter 30 and every that God turns morning into dancing. Earlier in this chapter in psalm 30 verse 5, the psalmist says weeping may Terry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. And this is just the encouragement. I want to give you today pray over you today, especially if there are things that are heavy on your heart. If there is morning or weeping in your life right now, or just for you to store this away for days when morning and weeping come to know that with our God, weeping and mourning are never the end of the story. Weeping may Terry for the night, psalm 5, but joy comes with the morning.

The Ultimate Priority
"Psalm chapter 27 verse four, one thing have I asked of the lord. That will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to gaze upon the beauty of the lord and to inquire in his temple, foul. It's one of my favorite verses in the Bible. And at the same time, one of the most convicting verses in the Bible to hear David the psalmist say here one thing I've asked the lord. I think of all the things you would want to ask God for. David says this is the one thing that I want most that I will seek after. I think about it. What is the one thing you are seeking after today in your life? If you had to sum it up, what's the one thing you want most? In a way that's evident in how you spend your time and money and energy, what excites your affections. What's the one thing you want that you're seeking after and David says it's this. And I mean, dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life that I may just be with God and gaze upon his beauty. I want to do all these things for God. The one thing I want most, the one thing I'm seeking after is just to look at him just to behold God and to inquire in his temple.

Assurance and Blessing in Abundance
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the lord forever. Thus ends one of the most famous chapters in all the Bible, certainly in the psalms, psalm 23, this picture of the lord is our shepherd and I feel like there's so much to meditate on here, so much we could pray according to, but the reason I choose this last verse to pray according to right now is because I just want to encourage you when this perspective as you wake up in the morning or wherever you are in your day as you lay your head on your pillow at night. Psalm 23 6 promises you that goodness and mercy are always following you. When you wake up in the morning, the goodness and mercy of God are just not just waiting for you. Their pursuing you when you open your eyes and you first come to consciousness in the morning. Goodness and mercy from God are flowing into your life and nu mercy. Mercy that will be sufficient for whatever that day holds and that's the beauty of this picture of sha follow me all the days of my life so you get up from bed and you start through your day. Goodness and mercy are right there with you. Gods. Goodness and mercy following you all day long and whatever you face all the way to the moment you lay your head on your pillow at night and who's there right with you? It's goodness and mercy. The goodness and mercy of God tracking with you at every single moment.

Fulfillment and Joy in the Lord
"Psalm chapter 20 versus four and 5, May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans. May we shout for joy over your Salvation. And in the name of our God set up our banners, may the lord fulfill all your petitions. Oh, isn't this a great picture of encouragement? It's like a prayer for blessing over each other, may God grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans. I just want to pray that over you, as I read it, that your heart's desire would come from God and would be granted by God that your plans for your life would align with God's plans for your life and May they be fulfilled. May the lord fulfill all your petitions. This is an invitation that we see all throughout the Bible to call out to God for help. In our lives, to call out for help on behalf of others, our petitions for ourselves are petitions for others. And as we ask for those things, according to his word, the basis for this podcast, we pray according to God's word, may the lord fulfill all that we're asking,

The Universe: God's Silent Testimony
"On chapter 19 versus one through four, the heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork day today pours out speech and night tonight reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. So we have this picture in psalm 19 of what Romans won teaches that all creation is shouting the glory of God and there is no place in the world. No language where God's glory is not being displayed in creation to everyone in the world. His invisible qualities is eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen Romans one says so that men are without excuse. There is no one who can not behold the glory of God in creation around them.

The Lord's Protection and Favor
"Psalm chapter 17 verse 8 keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. What imagery? And this solemn in all these psalms I love psalms and specifically here in this verse is prayer that God would keep the psalmist as the apple of his eye, which is paused. There's so much there. I want that we as rebellious sinners for the holy God of the universe would even be able to consider ourselves as the apple of his eye. This is what the Bible teaches we are made in the image of God and loved by God and for all who trust in Jesus you know God is father. Just picture a dad in this world who so loves his children. They are the apple of his eye. He just shines when he thinks about them and looks at them and spends time with them. And he loves them. This is not an unhealthy picture of a child trying to earn their dad's approval. This is a picture of a father, a dad who delights in his kids, and this is the picture we have of God, as our father, the lighting and you and me as his children, not in a way that we're then compelled to try to earn his favor but in a way that we just want to stay there close to him. We want to be an intimate close, wonderful, encouraging, enjoyable relationship with him as the apple of his eye. Don't you want that today? Just to walk so closely with God as your father enjoying his love for you walking in love for him

God's Word Is Pure
"Some chapter 12 verse 6, the words of the lord are pure words, like silver, refined, and a furnace on the ground, purified 7 times. I love this verse that contrasts the words of the lord with our words, so earlier, and this psalm song chapter 12 verse three says, may the lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boast those who say, with our tongue, we will prevail, our lips are with us who is master over us, the Somme describing the flippancy, arrogance, and pride that so often comes from our mouths, and then you get to verse 6 and you see this beautiful contrast, the words of the lord are pure, purified 7 times like silver refined and a furnace. And we open up God's word every word we see in front of us, just make sure the Bible in picture every single word as pure every single word as true every single word as righteous and clean, good in every way.

Justice for the Oppressed
"So I'm chapter ten versus 17 and 18. O lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted. You will strengthen their heart. You will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. Oh, I want to make the connection here between psalm 9, 9 and ten, which we prayed according to in a previous podcast episode when we meditated on how God is a stronghold for the oppressed a stronghold in times of trouble how we can look to God his name and put our trust in him and know that he will not forsake us. Well, in psalm ten, we see the Holy Spirit through the psalmist applying all those truths to the afflicted lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted you will strengthen their heart, a stronghold kind of language you will strengthen their heart, you will incline your ear to do justice to and listen to the specific picture here to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, which we saw the oppressed and psalm chapter 9 specifically you're in psalm chapter ten. We see God hearing the desire and strengthening the heart and inclining his ear to do justice to the fatherless so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. Are you getting the picture you're God on high is for the afflicted for the oppressed and specifically he is for the fatherless and in a world where millions of children are orphans many without a mom or a dad or a home God says I incline my ear to them and I incline my ear specifically to do justice for them,

Asking God to Reveal Your Sin
"O lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands. So what's interesting about this verse and why I want to lead us to pray according to it is because it's in the middle of versus around it in psalm chapter 7 and other psalms where the psalmist is being accused and attacked from different sides from evildoers even the very beginning of the psalm, says O lord my God and you do I take refuge, save me from all my pursuers and deliver me less like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it with pieces with none to the liver, but then he has in verse three. O lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands and he basically begins to pray for awareness of if he has done this to others if he has verse forces repaid his friend with evil or plundered his enemy without cause specifically has he in any way send against God in the way he has responded to others attacks. And what I love about this verse is the way it promotes in us a posture of humility that says God help me to see when I send help me not to be so focused even when others are sinning against me on their sin that I lose sight of my own sin, including my tendency to send against them and response to their send toward me. I think about the vivid talking about unintentional sense, ways that we are prone to sin against God. And against others in ways we don't even realize and so the psalmist is searching his heart in this verse, O lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, that's a good way for all of us to pray to pause and say to God, God open our eyes to any and every way. We are sending against you or against others.

"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical .NET. The fusion chapter four versus 31 and 32, let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice, be kind to one another. Tender hearted, forgiving one another. Has God in Christ forgave you. Those commands couldn't be any clearer. Could they? Let all bitterness be put away from you. Is there any bitterness in your heart? In your mind, I bring that before God. And ask him to help you to put it away. And the same with wrath and anger, clamor, and slander put it away. Put it away along with all malice and instead be kind to one another. Tender hearted, forgive one another. Which is not always easy, usually we have in a sense reason or justification to be bitter or angry. God says forgive one another as God and Christ forgave you. Like all of these things in the first verse and verse 31 are natural to us. Bitterness wrath, anger, clamor, slander, malice, just look around in the world. They're everywhere. And sadly, you look around and even in the church, you see those things. It should not be. It's a whole message of ephesians four. I think your children have light, your people of light. You live differently, so be kind in a way that is totally countercultural. In tenderhearted and forgiving, why? Because though you deserve the holy wrath of God for all of eternity, he is kind towards you. And tender hearted, and he in Christ forgives you, so God help us to do the Supernatural here, not the natural. We pray that you would put away from our minds and our hearts, bitterness, and wrath, anger, and clamor, and slander and malice got even as I say those words open all of our eyes, including my own, to any ways in which these things need to be put away from us. And just like we read earlier in ephesians for help us to put off the old self and put on the new self. Grant us Supernatural power to be kind and tender hearted and forgiving as you have been to us through Jesus. God are we pray for the super natural life described here in ephesians for 31 and 32 to be ours today. Jesus name we pray..

When he was on broadway and ben maybe eyeing a return to the stage sometime soon you can hear so many more stories of success from top artists entrepreneurs and visionaries. You can find it all at. Www dot nbc news dot com slash. The drink i love life performance more than anything and so both in terms of original music. An returning to the theater to broadway. Hopefully at some point soon. That's that's a huge something that i see in my future and we way hopefully returning to broadway sometime soon. That's going to get all your fans attention. Hello there all right. what's your drink. It's slightly boring but it's very healthy. It's just a matter. I mean i'm just gonna say that. Jane goodall had whiskey and repent martini and we had khumbu and smoothies. Water might be the most boring drink. We've we've had. But i get at least i have exciting nails to make up for the boring water. He let me see those. I noticed those at the met gala. Oh cavs those are exciting. You were there all decked out in delta yes indeedy. I was a christian callen before little gay cowboy on the big question. Ben is always. You've won a tony right. An emmy a grammy. Your twenty seven yes. How on earth did that happen by the age twenty seven. How'd you get here a number of things. i mean. i think the earliest reason for my being errors. That i had a wonderful family that really supported my love of the and of singing and performing and also that my siblings before me had already been doing musical theater at the youth program when i was born so once i was old enough to join like four or five started doing cinderella and oliver and all of those great kids musicals and fell just deeply in love with performing your father's a musical producer rates so evil and you're from la. I think some people might go wait. So was it one of those like you were forced into child acting. You know what. I mean yes. Of course i'm actually understand but if anything because my father's in the business he knows what unfortunately terrible business it can be an how deeply terrifying can be. They're always very cautionary in very realistic. About what i was getting myself into. And i think when he and my mom saw that not only did. I have a deep deep love for it but i really had an ability. End an affinity for it to go along with that. Date import. You do it all through high school. And then am i right that you moved to new york to go to columbia university. Yes so i finished on. How long did that last. Not very long. I lasted about six and a half seven weeks to the end of october. At which point. It was fortunate enough to be constant in book of mormon Which was opening a new company chicago at the time and so i couldn't pass up the opportunity to originate all new company. And so i. I left to do that. Been on this roller coaster. Since then it's worked out okay. I think all right when you went in for a reading of durban hanson. Did you know right away like did you have a moment like this is for me. Yes it always opened with. Evans kind of stream-of-consciousness when he's trying to write this letter and thinking about all the ways in which the day could go wrong and dislike run on anxiety filled comedic kind of lovable rhythm that i felt really connected to and then on top of that was waiting through windows for song. Which was there from the very first day. And i think that really was when i sang that song and really felt Just a deep connection not only vocally and stylistically but in terms of what's being expressed in indicated in that song. I think when i was finished singing i felt this. I i have to make myself invalid with your. I can't ever let the scope. I sing. And i know how hard it is to sing. I mean every night and you're not just seeing you're like laying barriers soul. I mean you're crying and singing at the same time it physically. How did you do that. Water is a big that. I did that water and then also i think just i was blessed to have material that really called for that giving that much of myself. I got to experience firsthand. The way that it literally saved people's lives and started conversations and really make people feel seen and heard in like a really deep kind of universal way and so i think if there were ever nights where i was like how am i going to get up on stage and do this again.

Just reminding myself that it's so much bigger than my own experience. He even when the dog comes crashing through when you need a friend to carry do when you're rogue at all you be a really is about mental health right and his anxiety and acceptance and so many different themes that are tough. Yes relatable to to everyone. I i also wondered. How much of you is. evan hansen. Or how much. Evan hansen is you. I think yes. And no. I think more so when i was playing him on stage. The most important thing we share. Which is what makes the story the most meaningful for me on this experience for me that i struggled with anxiety for my whole life particularly in as an adult i think having that shared baseline so it's Is always what makes me feel the most connected to him. And i think in in coming back to it for the film the biggest difference that i really tried to apply to sort of protect myself was to maintain a healthy distance. Between who he hasn't miam- what do you want people to take from the movie on the most basic level. I just hope it's a nice escape on on on a deeper level. I hope it makes people feel connected and reminds us of our shared humanity. There's been a lot of talk about your age a lot of like. Oh he's twenty seven. He's playing a high school kid. How are you processing all that. I'm trying my best to tune it out because there's nothing i can do about how old i am. I'm very privileged in very grateful that i was given the opportunity to preserve the role in that the director in the studio deemed mike performance or the of of the film version in. So i all. I can do is play a character in when i'm playing a character. There's all sorts of things about myself. That are not like who i am. You know. i'm way a little less or address a little differently or my ears little earlier and in this particular case. I'm someone younger than i am. And that's my job as an actress to play things that are not like me. Flipside as you're twenty seven years old you've won all these major awards. You achieved a lot. So where do you go from here.

"You know sounds to me like you're gonna have to be more direct. The i feel too guilty. And i don't want you to go through. Time is just activating the masculine side of him. Of like i can handle this. I'm the man what you need to say is. I truly believe that. I need to be single for right now because i'm not running toward you. I'm not running toward engagement. I was. I'm sorry about that. I got a little excited. However since then i've really given the some thought and i won't be the best partner for you because i'm not over the moon about this pending proposal and getting married and having you come here so i'm not the right partner for you at this time you're gonna have to be very very direct and very strong in how you speak with him and to be honest with you. I don't think you need to go and spend a month right thinking about earlier. I don't think you need to go and spend a month there. Because he will propose and he will pressure you and you might even cave when you go. Can you stay here. Yes i can i can. I can change my tickets. Usually all i care. Can you hear like every time we say like. Hey this is your future. Like she gets super excited. She starts glowing. You've got this beautiful smile at her face. I think that's why it's easy to be able to tell you these kind of harsh things that essentially this relationship it's not suitable for your life right now and i think your parents and family and friends. I'm sure they've noticed your independence. You feel like excited about living in los angeles and living life without your gut on et. Your parents are would be like yeah. It was starting to not seem right. I would say my brother is going to be extremely happy though. Yeah my mom. Shunde understanding on. Oh one last thing. You don't have to break up with him immediately. Like all the stuff like but don't do it knows up to spite your face. I'm working on the assumption that you may take our blunt blunt harsh advice which is to break up with him. But i do think it would be. It would be interesting for you to start to view life as a single person like when you go out to coffee. When you're out with your friends keep your eyes open. Imagine being single. You know what i mean. Imagine like oh okay i could be open to these other experiences because then maybe you can kind of let go of the security blanket of this relationship. You know gently if you don't feel like calling him tonight but she has to do something though on because this isn't just another thirty days that she's been doing every year to go there on. Are you going to miss not going if you decide to not go. I should go and do his face to face. but i don't know if i the gut feeling of face-to-face. Think face to face his overrated. I really do especially if you know that you can maybe be easily hushed. You know i know i can. No one is gonna say. Oh my god. She broke up with him over zoom. You know. nobody's gonna say that and if they do fuck them they should be living their own lives. I'm excited for you. I don't know. I could see a world opening up for you. That's filled with a lot on a disease. Help it all did we freak you out again. I think everything you said is something. I had Back of my mind subconsciously..

Great gonna be very grateful. I'm very happy with that person. But shifting and changing as much as i shift event changed myself for him. I don't think i can't do it up again. Will maybe the next person in your life will be able to do nice things for you. Maybe you won't have to feel like you're giving so much of yourself and it could be a great time to be single for a minute. I wish i had been more single in my twenties. I think i kind of missed out on some things. I moved in with my boyfriend like four months after we met and then we got married and we were just too young. We were just idiots. It was like we were playing being married. I look back on that. And i'm like that was like a production or something like we were just playing roles and not very well at a whole. So that's kinda where i'm coming from and i think the reason why i can so breezily say to you. I think you should break up with him is because it feels to me from kinda your energy that you have been kind of breaking up with him for a long time in your head or tried to get him. Break breakout with me. Had we can show you how to do that. Okay well first and foremost the reason why you shifted and had to work so hard at becoming. What he wanted was partly due to personality types and also the age that you both were when you met when you hit an older age. We don't do that. hopefully we. Don't so that was part of just growth right if you stay in something like that where you're having to acquiesce and shift and bend yourself into a pretzel to be with somebody..

Because that's how you develop your patterns in your needs and your wants and your dealbreakers is that you get to explore experiment. The twenties our exploration and they're the exploration time of ourselves. And you can't do that by being with one person since you were super young especially if you move to another country and that doesn't mean have sex with other people but go out have coffee. A dinner have lunch meat. People connect with co workers. You need the exposure to develop yourself. I want you to have a relationship where you can have long meaningful conversations. A road trip relationship. You know i want you to be able to drive to texas and talk to each other the whole time if you met when you're nineteen and he was twenty one. You've probably talked a lot. Then you knew each other. You had a lot more in common. Now it's like you guys are two different people. You've had such different experiences. And you kind of put your life on. Hold a little bit for him when you were in europe and only going to school and not really having a life experiences because you sorta found security in what he thought the future would be. And i think that's shifting for you. And i think it's awesome. I know i know it's scary. It's so easy for me to be like just break. He's even say we like to ask this to on it.

We got to kind of a crossroads where it was clearly kind of time to either. Really do this or to not keep bringing this back up because it was hurting his feelings and also it just wasn't healthy for either. Will you guys living in different cities. New york both in newark wants to bring up the crossroads who is motivating. I think he just knew a lot. Sooner than i did. Really how special. It was and like the fact that this really could be the thing. And i think i had all these kind of preconceived notions in my head about like who that person would be that. Were really irrelevant. Ultimately that was so kind of clinging onto like they're not going to be an artist like me. They're going to do something totally different. And they're going to be older than me and they're gonna all these like sort of arbitrary things and then. The crossroads really came from my kind of being enlightened and kind of joining the reality that he was in. When i did this radio city show. That's now on netflix. Special concert for my first album and it was very special night. Obviously you've never played there before and had everybody that i love all their my whole family came in all my friends. And it felt like my like adult barmitzvah. And i was dating someone kind of random at the time and afterwards i had party because it was like sort of a celebration for my birthday and also for the concert and i just remember walking into the party and seeing everybody that i loved including this random guy that i was dating and thinking to myself like the only person that i actually really wanna go and see and spend time with and like go home with is noah and so i think something about that like life shifting perspective of having something so big happen in thinking about like hoodoo i actually care about how they felt about what they think about it and you know it was just him and so we did end up going home together and then from that night forward it's just sort of shifted and then shortly thereafter. We had the kind of real conscious conversation of like. Let's do this exclusively. Let's really date and so it's been like a year and a half since then. We're going stern. And then of course like corentin probably hit shortly after that night radio city music all right yes so that was in the fall and then we started sort of hardcore like. We're doing the real thing. Dating the beginning of january of twenty twenty so we only have like two months of normal relationship rate. So like quarantine made you double down andrea upper shut up sorta of like zero to sixty but it ended up being kind of exactly what we needed in a beautiful way. I mean obviously.

There's nothing to do but dive all the way in. So we were like living together. He stayed with me and my family for most of the beginning. And you know all my siblings and my nephews and my parents and we were spending twenty four seven together and really seeing what it really was and then of course it ended up being the love of my life.

I just like fell so in love with and he was not yet comfortable with himself so he was closeted and we had to keep the whole thing under wraps for that reason. Because i felt so in love for the first time in so infatuated with him. He was like talented and cool. And you know mysterious also really sensitive secretly and like really loving but only in private like all these things were sort of pulling me in different directions and i got really invested really fast. Then i regret that. I was so kind of impressionable because i was dishonest. With like my family and with my friends and really just like lie then changed myself for him because i just loved him so much in i would do anything he asked me to do and unfortunately he just was not a place where he was comfortable with who he was. We dated for like nine months and it stayed secretive the whole time. Do you mind my asking ben. If the lies were in regards to his being closeted knew. I had to sort of keep everyone under the impression that like buddies. Obviously people close to us were working with. They knew what was happening. And my mic. Best friends in the world. I couldn't help tell them but to my parents for a long time to you know anyone else in the professional realm to anyone like beyond this close to me. I had to sort of continued to pretend that we friends. And i had to be around his family as his friend. And you know it just was you know scarring kind of a rite of passage for gripper which i hope is slowly becoming extinct this kind of phenomenon of wanting to be with people who aren't yet comfortable with themselves but it reached kind of a peak and after like nine months of doing this i was like i'm in love with you and i've shifted my whole life around for you and and so can we please come out with it and just be honest about it and he was like. I don't wanna do that. And i was like well. I don't think we should do this anymore. So we broke up. We spent the summer doing different jobs that he did a play somewhere. I did a play somewhere. And then when i came back to new york after the play i heard from a mutual friend that he was like out of the closet with another person. Living with this guy. Like basically. I was sort of his gateway which i'm happy to be but it was a little bit painful of a gate to be So that was my first love and also my first heartbreak to kill two birds one stone that was also a tough blow to come back and find him like totally comfortable now without me. Was it hard to not take that personally or did you blame the societal pressure There's definitely both. I mean certainly like society. Don't also i think familial. And also just internal. I think he just struggled with liking himself and loving himself and so of course as you know eighteen nineteen year old. I was like it's me. He's embarrassed of me doesn't want to show me to anyone. But now obviously i have a much more perspective and ultimately i i know that it could have been really anybody to his credit. He's still now with the guy that he was with. When i got home so they've been together for like seven years and they're very happy so very happy for them..

And you know we both struggle in large social situations and it's nice to play someone where you feel at home in that way but i think what i've carried with me more so in a strange way as like reveling in the parts of me that are not like him and sort of like appreciating that and being grateful that i do feel seen by some people in my life and that i do have people around me that accept me and that love me and that that i feel like i have a community to receive me in a way that he doesn't hopefully eventually we. You know suggest that he will find that. But i think that and also my ability to emotionally communicate i think both has grown obviously with age but also it has made me really lean into that as a skill and really appreciate and foster that in myself because i know that so much whatever goes through is a product of his inability to to do that to communicate what he's feeling and to open up to people and i think if i already had a seed of that i've now really tried to like ten that garden because i it's sort of like a what not to do kind of thing.
