has a way of telling you how God took him to another level, then try's to bring you down, by referencing, that "you need to", "you got to be", always referencing "you", as if I am not doing these things. I find it actually draining, and almost in some weird way, it's him tooting his own horn, because he is trying to build himself up? any help here?

I would confront him honestly.
First, I would tell him what he was doing to me,
then I would suggest that if he were really brought closer to God, he wouldn't be tooting his own horn, he would be made humbler, like Paul in Romans 7 and Phillippians 3.
Tell him Jesus wants him to become like a little child.

He should be telling you the things that God has done for Him, but he should be encouraging you to turn your life around. He seems like He is too deep and trying to get you to get deep with Him, God doesn't want us to boast. (2 Corinthians 11:15-17) Read Romans 12:9-16 and see if your friend is really serving the Lord the way he should or does he have a way to go before he can Tell you what you need to do..... He really just wants you experience God's love, works and promises the way he does, so just be patient with him, he's just excited, but He can slow down so that he won't run everyone away from him because he is so deep...

If this person is your friend, you need to let him know that you are being brought down by the conversations that you have with them. Let the person know that the conversation is doing more damage then good. If he'sor she's trying to get you to convert, tell them to pray for you, and let god do the work since they have already planted the seed.

You say he is your friend, why dont you tell him straight away that you dont intend discussing God with him because you see things differently. Tell him his behavior is pushing you away from him. You prefer to have other convesations. Appreciate what ever he has achieved is good for him and you are glad it is working for him. A little assertiveness is always good.
