How I Got Off That Tree Limb is inspired by a life-changing experience I had at the age of 22. While working alongside a preacher during a revival in Little Rock, Arkansas, he gave me simple yet powerful advice: “Get off that limb.” He explained that if you want to bake a delicious apple pie, you must first get the apples from the tree. That message became a life metaphor I would never forget.
