From FOMO to YOLO: What are you doing here?
Timestamp for the talk starts at 1:08 hr.

By drawing connections between Elijah's journey and the mental health challenges of today, the discussion highlights the timeless nature of such struggles, reminding us that even esteemed prophets faced similar battles. Shifting from the anxiety of missing out (FOMO) to the exhilaration of embracing the present (YOLO), we're prompted to introspect about our mental state, grasp the profound implications of missing God's will, and understand that since we only live once, it's imperative to align with God's purpose for our lives.
