00:00As a kid, when I would see parents who had an adult son or daughter with disability,
00:08I always felt like a little bit of a loss.
00:11I felt a little bit sad for them, that the husband and wife had this child that was going
00:16to be with them.
00:19You really don't get it unless it happens to you, and you're like, your frame of mind
00:25just is minded like a 180 about how to look at this situation.
00:30It wasn't sorrowful, it's actually a gift.
00:38I was born with Down syndrome with an extra chromosome on my 21st chromosome.
00:50He just shapes your heart.
00:53He makes you and compels you to think more deeply about God and your purpose in this
00:59life.
01:02I think Evan has a very unique role.
01:04He's called to reset a lot of the evils of culture, like a workaholic mentality.
01:10He calls people to leisure, man.
01:12And that's good.
01:13You need leisure in your life.
01:19Once God is gone and we remove that very important piece that were made in the image
01:24of God, I think everything becomes negotiable.
01:28Life becomes negotiable.
01:31You know, if we were all perfectly self-sufficient and independent, then how would we really
01:41love?
01:42How would we give?
