Years from now your friend may forget the keynote’s outline, but he’ll remember the three-word text that found him in a hallway: “You’re God’s man.” That memory will outlive the lanyard and the t-shirt. So pick a number, any number, and release it. The angels are leaning in, ready to fan every tiny coal into a fire that warms more than just one soul.

Go light the match. The kingdom is dry and waiting.
