3 Key Points:

1. Knolly was 17 years old and thought he knew everything. When he was 15 he got busted in high school because of drug dealing. This situation led him to start reading the Bible that his mom had given him and he just kept it for good luck. While reading the book he realized why his life is not going anywhere after which he started coming closer to the Lord.
2. Most people don't realize that the ultimate goal in this journey of life is to reach your ultimate greatness and then happiness is really a byproduct of living your purpose. 
3. God gives us a passion and a vision towards something. He doesn't answer every question up-front; he doesn't give us the full picture. He might just give us one step and then we might know how to do that. Knolly says it's not what we do that credits us towards God's favor. They can be the worst groups in the world and God loves them just the same as if they're the saintliness of saints. But the reality is Knolly wants to put a smile on God's face, that's his goal.
