Yes, Bas is even better than I thought! I always liked the guy. Very affable, funny and down to earth. Here's a great gem from the interview, too, which I've hinted at and always been confused about people and their priorities. But we do carry bad things from lack of family, direction, and a society/.gov that is ALL about distraction.

I would love to tell non-believers: Get off your phones and computers, forget about YOURSELF one time and about your “likes” and other social media crap, and actually spend some time reading/learning about faith and the ultimate questions and purpose of life. After you’ve done that for 6 months, THEN decide if you believe or not. Because what if you are wrong and you don’t do what you need to do in order to make the next big step. You wanna take that risk? Not me, but I am pretty sure that once you learn about it, you will be drawn to it.

And please don’t say: “I will do that when I am 60 years old,” because man, if you know how old you are going to be before you die please tell me that secret, because to my knowledge it can be over for any of us at any moment. NOBODY knows when his time is up, so act now!
