Same here. That being said, it does prepare me for whenever he DOES come up in conversation. But, honestly, that really doesn’t matter either.

What prepares me for when his teaching does come up in conversation in the real world is the bible and prayer. And that goes for pretty much ANY teaching that comes up.
