Pope salve: Boova's testimony of overwhelming joy, then wasted anger
Boova (addressed by name in the audio) asks Ben's permission to deliver a 'pope salve' and gives a testimony: after a 12-hour shift he wept twice listening to the worship song 'Fill My Cup' with family, overwhelmed by God's joy and peace — then lost it within hours, fuming all day over work, wasting nearly a day in anger that changed nothing. He closes urging listeners to choose rest in God's hands because Jesus promises peace and joy as the natural fruit of a real relationship with him.
