Pulled Over And Jail Pudding

SPEAKER_02 0:35

So we are still in here, just not. I did find out, however, that we have a number one fan, I think. We do. And it's Jamie Weasel. Oh, your guys' podcast is my favorite. Oh my god. And I go, Oh, yeah, we haven't recorded in while she goes, Yeah, I know. So she's not lying. She's paying attention. So hi, Jamie. Great day in the great state of Nebraska. Oh, this is I love her. Um, you guys have a funny story. I can't wait. Yes. Okay. Remind me if I told you guys last year how Lila and I got pulled over on the same day.

SPEAKER_01 1:14

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I remember.

SPEAKER_02 1:15

I don't know if I said it here or if we just enjoyed it. I remember. So last year, Lila and I get pulled over in the same day, separately, same day, because our license plates are expired. Oh. By the same cop. Okay. So fast forward another year. Oh no. And I'm driving home from school minding my own business. And I'm by the little schoolhouse by order, and I see lights behind me. I'm like, oh shoot. And I'm like, oh dang it, my license place are expired.

unknown 1:50

You knew it?

SPEAKER_02 1:52

Well, I know it, but I forgot. What's the trouble here? So I'll get there. Okay. Okay. So I knew it, but I forgot. So I'm pulling around. So I have to go around like in the rocks or whatever. And I say to I say, oh no, I hope it's not the same cop.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

Oh, it was the same cop. He's like, ma'am, what's your problem?

SPEAKER_02 2:15

I don't think he remembers me. He has a memory. So he gets out. That's not even the real funny part. The girls are in the car. He gets out, and the twins say, Oh no, I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to have to eat jail pudding. When I learned in jail pudding, I'm cracking up. And he's funny, miss. No. He was like. If you're Did you tell him the story? No, the Columbia Police Department, please don't tell the guy this. He's a real nerdy girl.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

I don't know him. I haven't been pulled over in a while.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

He might only pull people over who have expired licenses. Nerdy, like he's by the book. His look.

unknown 3:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

Did you tell him what was the thing? No, it's the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

So he's like, what's so funny here? So I roll down the windows and the girls are back there. I go, Well, they just said they don't want to eat pudding, jail pudding. I was like, I was like, I'm trying to explain to them that you can't actually arrest them because they haven't done anything. Come on, we're gonna go to jail. But then they're like, Mom, is it the same cop? Is it the same?

SPEAKER_01 3:29

Be quiet. So then he's like, what are we talking about? It gets a little worse.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

He goes, Can I see your license and registration? I go, oh no. I go, no, my license has expired.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

Oh no. Oh my license expired. And this is a type B.

SPEAKER_02 3:53

My license expired in July on my birthday. Wait, that's a long time ago. That was a long time ago. However, I actually didn't know that it expired until I forget what I was just doing not long ago. And the lady said, I can't use this. This expired. And I said, What? Because my sisters didn't expire on our birthday. And you are the same. And we are the same. Should be fine. You're both in Illinois. Yeah. So I don't know why. So I was- Does she have a real ID? Maybe it's longer. Uh, maybe. I was like, I'm really sorry. And I hand him my license. I'm like, this is bad. He's like not gonna be your children. He's like, well, do you have your insurance card? I'm like, well, I have to text my husband because it's on the State Farm app, but I don't have, and he's at soccer practice. So hopefully he says it to me. Why is it on the State Farm app? You don't have a piece of paper? Well, they come, but they're somewhere in my house. How long have you been dragging? There's a piece of paper somewhere. We just don't need it. I'm just like these are the things that are annoying in life. I do not want to go to the DMV and get a new license. No. Do not. If I'm 80, okay, let's go 75. If I'm 75, I should probably show up there every year. You need to make sure I'm often still firing. Yeah. Okay. Maybe 65. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

It depends on your nothing has changed from last year to this year.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

Maybe your vision. Oh, he's like, well, you could do it online if you don't have wear con if you don't wear glasses like I wear contacts.

unknown 5:18

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

And then the license plate sticker. That's a pain. Let us just put our information and charge my card every year and send me the sticker. That's it.

SPEAKER_03 5:27

No, no, no. You don't have to go anywhere. You can do it online. Ours comes in the mail. Same. Could you do it online? Well, you know what? I don't know. My husband doesn't. See? I don't know. This is my other point.

SPEAKER_02 5:37

Here's my other point. I feel like it's a boy job. That's a boy job. I do it. 100%. But I'm the one that always goes. I do go to Carol's and Mills. I will I go to Carol's and Millsdot to do my stickers. Last time I was in there, she told me they're moving. I forget where she said she was moving to. Oh, it's just somewhere else in Millsot. So I do go there and it's easier than having to go to the DMVA. Anyway, I was like. Wait, you go there for your license? Uh no, you have to go for stickers. Stickers are online, babe. Well, I know that now. I'm gonna get it. And you could go to the bank. Oh, can you? Wait, I go to the bank all the time. I need a drive-thru sticker and license bureau.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Oh, well, that's it. I need to knock it out of the bar. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Drive-thru. Give me the sticker.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

Can the state of all the states get drive-thru facilities? That's what I need. Yeah. So he did not give me a ticket.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

He didn't. Did he say ever circle back to like, is it the same cop? Like, what am I doing? He didn't remember me. But what's funny is when he's like, How often do you get pulled over, ma'am? Just once a year.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Just this time of year.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

Still expired.

SPEAKER_02 6:47

I didn't realize he was behind me. Otherwise, I probably would have taken an alternative route. He's behind me way too long. I'm like good at evading cops if I have expired plates. You guys, my plates are expired all the time. Wait, did Lila pulled over on this? Yeah, not this year, but her plates aren't expired. Oh, but last year and last year he said, huh, I don't think I've ever pulled the same family over in the same day. Well, congratulations. What a space. Well, there's always some time for it. You should have congratulated him. But it got you a year apart. It did not, but it was the girls going, I don't want to eat jail. I was like, what are you even talking about?

SPEAKER_03 7:25

I wonder if they saw in a movie like slop, like in a jail or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Well, maybe it would be. I'm like, do they say that on Bluey? Because that's usually where our little zinkers come from. True. It could be a Bluey thing. It's always from Bluey. That's funny. I was so funny. I've never heard of it. What's so funny?

Procrastinating The DMV

SPEAKER_01 7:41

I was like, oh, sorry. Okay, well, I have a card right now at my desk for me to get my license. So maybe I'm going to do it.

SPEAKER_02 7:47

I'm going to do it. You know what? I'll report back next time we record and see if it's done. I'm a procrastinator. Like, I'll get around to it. I don't have to do that.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

I think we're going to hear the story again next year.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

I mean, set sometimes this is not very following the Lord of me, I guess. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Sometimes, like we're following you, follow Jesus, not in the car.

SPEAKER_02 8:12

So you got, but you have to obey the laws of your lands. Oh, that's true. Which I'm not doing well at that. Well, at that one. So sometimes if my license plates have been expired so long and it's coming around to a year, I'll just wait until the year's out because it's cheaper and they give you new plates. Wait, I don't understand that. So like mine just expired in October. Not just October was a while ago. The sticker, yes. So if if I made it till September of 2026, I'm waiting until October. Because it was a year bucks. It saves you like, you know,$25. You mean you're not going to buy it?

SPEAKER_03 8:49

For just a couple months. No.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

But you would buy it for one month. So you might as well wait till it's a year expired and then they just issue you new plates.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

Could you go a whole year with the stuff?

SPEAKER_02 9:00

I've done it multiple times. Yes. She's saving you. You just gotta keep away from the cops.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

You've got to keep away from the cops.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

They only pull you over in Columbia. I've never been pulled over for that anywhere else. No. I don't think I've been.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

I'm gonna renew my plates and my license. Because in St. Louis, my my sticker would get stolen all the time. And so they give you lots of grace because they know.

SPEAKER_03 9:22

That's more energy than just going to get a new one. Well, I guess unless your license is like not legit, you're not gonna be able to get a new one.

SPEAKER_01 9:29

Maybe they can steal it.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

They're out there with like what, wet q-tips and a hairdryer, like trying to razor it on to, you know.

SPEAKER_01 9:36

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_03 9:37

And then glue it onto yours.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

No, but if you like cut it, you know, into pieces, then they'd have to pull off a little bit pieces.

SPEAKER_03 9:45

Oh, you're supposed to stick it on and then like it.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

I'm thankful to say I've never lived somewhere where I've needed to do that. It's like, hey, in this community, you're gonna need to cut up your going after anything.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

It's just so frustrating because you pay taxes on everything. Yeah. And then literally, and you know, little tags were 50 bucks before or 75. And now that looks like 100 buckers costs. It's 120. It's 121. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. It just makes me mad. So I don't want to. I don't want to go spend it because it makes me mad.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

We were about to do our Christmas cards this year. And what are they 78 cents? Yeah. A stamp? I was like, I'm sorry, what? I will be hand delivering most of these. So I sent Hayden a huge stack home to Carol when he went to drill. I'm like, just hand deliver these. We brought a stack to church.

SPEAKER_02 10:36

No longer mailing.

SPEAKER_03 10:37

Yeah. I was like, if you were in the select few that got a stamp and mailed, I either didn't see you or yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

Okay, so we are days away from She Wakes, and we're so excited that it's here. Um, I want to know, like briefly, because I am most excited. I'm really excited about the concert. Hope Dars is coming. I will say that I know one Hope Dar song, but I've been listening to her newest album, and it's really good. Because I want to know. I want to sing along. So I've been making myself learn songs. Tell us what song you're gonna sing along to. Toady. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the names of the song.

SPEAKER_03 11:16

She's the one, if the Lord builds the side.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Yeah, that's the one I know because it's on the radio.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

But her newer ones are pretty catchy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

They're real like we're catching music. She's for the room.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

Yeah, a lot. Fun. The newer one that people might have heard is the In the Mighty Name of Six. Yeah. It's a good one. Yeah. That's good. That's the newest one I know of. Maybe she'll ask you to come sing away. That's okay. I don't know them that well.

She Wakes Weekend Hype

SPEAKER_02 11:46

So, but after we sat last week and we were just chatting about our breakout sessions and what their titles are and what we're talking about, I was even more excited because you can just see the way the Lord's bringing it together. Because typically, not typically, I mean this is year three. Typically, we don't really have a theme and we just kind of let everyone that has a breakout, you get to do what you want.

SPEAKER_03 12:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

But the last this is year three, so the last two, and then this one's ending the same. All of them end up intertwining together. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

So that's been that's actually that's so cool. That's like we literally probably could not plan that any better.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

Right. And it's nothing that we have done or tried to manufacture, which makes it just that much better. Yeah. And I think a lot of times I think maybe it's just things I listen to. I feel like preachers, I'm gonna say preachers for us, get bad raps sometimes because people think we do it for our own gain, which I don't know that anyone would say about this in this room. I'm just saying in general, and that's really not true. And I think church gets a church as a whole can get really uh beat up as far as like if you're a big church or a small church or your pastor just you know likes the light or whatever. And we at Life Community Church, I feel like it's so important to us that we are not the limelight, and nothing here is about us, yeah. It's all about the Lord and moving people closer to Him and more discipleship to Him. And when this happens and we see how it plays out, you're like, You're so cool, God, because it's not us, and nothing we're gonna say on Saturday is anything that has to do with us. We're like, God, and I know Casey prays this a lot. I've borrowed her prayer. Like, guard my mouth and don't let me say anything stupid.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

The helmet. Remember the astronaut helmet? It's full of red words and only green words come out. That's the picture in my head. All the words I'm shooting out. I'm like, Lord, please just let the right ones come out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

So and that's really how we've set like this weekend up. So I'm really excited to sit through. And I could sit through some, so I'm really excited about that. That is fine. But I want you to just say, like, if you have a title, say your title and just give us a brief overview about what your breakout is.

SPEAKER_01 14:11

Can I tell you something? When I realized that you could sit in on some, I was like, oh gosh, I hope she doesn't sit in on mine. And then I'm like, Jody, she sits in on yours every other week. You're fine. Yes. And what what's she gonna do? I don't know, but I just really thought that it made me nervous. And I'm like, you weirdo, you already experienced it.

SPEAKER_02 14:28

Yes, and I don't know why I would make you nervous. And any you just I'm just telling you what happened. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

Do you remember in grade school when someone would come and audit the classroom? And so the teacher's like, Someone's in here, don't pay attention to them, pay attention to me. And we're like, Well, there's someone in the corner, and they just have a clipboard. It's like the day you're extra squirreling, it's like, guys, look like we pay attention. That's what Kelly's gonna be auditing her.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

Yeah, but not her clipboard.

Church Is Not What You Think

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Jody would be the auditor. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_03 14:56

Yes, she's the bomb.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

But I'm I agree with you. I'm super excited that it seems like the Lord is curating all the messages for his purpose for our girls, for our ladies.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

Which is encouraging because that means we're all tuning into the because he he speaks the same. Like if you are plugged into which I'll I'll start with mine, because you already said something that I was nervous to title it because one, I didn't want people to be like, no, not going. I'm not going to that one. But also, I didn't want people to just assume they know what I'm talking about before they even come. So my title is church. It's not what you think, but I went through lots of other titles. Um, but what you're saying, people that feel that way about church are spectators and consumers. They're not plugged into the body, the eternal, invisible body of Christ that others are plugged into. So if you feel that way about church, I would encourage you to examine like, am I actually plugged into the living, eternal thousands and thousands and thousands of years body of Christ, living church, or am I attending, consuming, observing, spectating, enjoying, leaving? Yeah. Because we're we're yeah, we're like commentators of things that were, oh, I tried out a new gym, or I we're looking at schools for my kid, you know, we're like, this is my team, that's my team, or we get in on teams and we get in preference, like, oh, this is my favorite spa I've ever been to. Oh, we like this one, we like this resort, we like that. That is not church, like none of those things is church, and it's just so there's I just don't know if everyone can see what it really is.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

But one of the things, like if you're locked in, if you're listening to the Holy Spirit, he is ministering to one body and it will be similar. Like we will be in similar, maybe not our seasons are the exact same, but like the message he sends is not divisive and not it's it's um what's the word? Cohesive. Yeah, cohesive. It's it's one. It's yeah, cohesive is a good one. Yeah, it's complementary, like it goes together. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Anyway, I was gonna say when you were talking, I um listen to a couple pastors for sure every week, our pastor and then two other churches. And I love when they're like all teaching the same thing. Yeah, and there are different parts of the country, yeah. You know, so it's like the Lord is getting a message out. And then on that same thing, so when you talk about people who are commenting on what goes on in churches, the other thing that I noticed is there's so many pastors in our towns, in our states, in our country who are all doing the right thing. And there's just like that one percent who are, you know, hypocritical, who are um falling from their positions. One percent. Yeah, 99% of pastors are doing the right thing. They're not in it for the gain. What gain is there? Yeah, they're not in it for the glory, they're doing the right thing, but it's the one percent that like really.

SPEAKER_02 18:11

When you hear people talk, well, they'll say pastors and I lump them all together, but they're really talking about your celebrity pastors or your mega church pastors. Like when they say that, it's like all these pastors, you know, wearing all these expensive watches and jewelry and it's like one thing they saw on social media. And you're like, but you guys don't know the normal pastors all across our world, really, but even across America, shepherding people every single day. Yeah, just doing their job every single day, loving Jesus, loving their families, trying to do the best that they can do. One person there, it's like they're learning as they go to, you know. I don't know. So it always is like, it's my biggest pet peeve. Yeah. It's like, why don't you hang out in some small towns? And yeah, for sure. There's good and bad apples everywhere. It doesn't matter what profession you're in.

Full Surrender And Daughter Identity

SPEAKER_03 19:02

Yeah, but when you're a part of the body, like you're living part of the body and not just attending or not just a crowd, you're able to see my pastor is a human. Like I would have said that differently, or like, oh, he's having rough day, or this happened, or that minister did this, or that you're able to see like the flesh side and cheer them on and like prayerfully support the the the role, like the body still. So people who are in the body truly, I feel like there's the Holy Spirit, not us. My flesh would be irritated, but the Holy Spirit gives you grace and like a passion for prayer for that church, that person, that move. And so it's less criticizing and more uh interceding. Yeah, I guess. What about you, Matea? Give us an overview.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Okay, I'm talking about you know, let me clear my thoughts perfect. Um, my title is Living a Life of Full Surrender. So um, you know, like what does that look like? I'm gonna talk about like what that looks like, what uh really trusting God in an intimate relationship with him looks like, and just what I've learned in my own life of you know, there was things that I didn't realize I didn't surrender to God. But then when they, you know, that's all I could think about. And even I think what's important that I want to share too is like for me, it was things God laid on my heart. So it, you know, from the outside, it was like, no, this is a good thing and it's a good passion, but am I prioritizing that above a relationship with Jesus? So it was like that, I guess. I don't want to give it fully away. I know. You can't say too many.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

I know all right, Joe. Okay, so I'm talking about knowing God, comma, as a daughter, so like I want to know him and experience him as a daughter. And I'm coming from Galatians three and four, and it happened to me personally, and you guys might remember like back in December, and that's when I earmarked it. Like, I'm gonna talk about that at She Wakes, and that I am a daughter of Christ, but all of a sudden I found myself experiencing God, working for God. Like I was his servant and not his kid who has an heir in the kingdom. You know, like I was knowing him and instead of partnering with him, like he and I are on the same side on the same team. I was like working for him. And so it just really changed my perspective of knowing him as his daughter, as an heir, instead of slave is such a hard word for us in the US, but that's what this the text says slave, but it's a different kind of not a transatlantic slave, but really a slave. Servant, which is a good thing. It's a great thing. But then the other thing is that I really want to set aside time in my um in our small group to experience God and know God through silence, solitude, scripture. We're all very shocked by that. So we're making space for that because no one does.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

That's great. No, that's so true. It's a good practice. Yeah. And it takes practice.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

I didn't want to say it because then people are like, oh, I'm not calling it. No. But I'm like, you know what? I love talking about God. I could talk about God a lot, but I don't want to talk about him. Like, let's experience him.

SPEAKER_02 22:37

Well, right. And that I'm kind of ending that same way-ish to a degree. Because what we've we've find, and I'm saying we mean Jody. Um we've talked about before, that's why I'm saying me and you, is that you can also find people are like, Well, that church doesn't feed me, or this doesn't do this for me, or this doesn't do this for me. And Jody and I have looked at each other and now twice on a and we've talked about and being like, feed yourself. Feed yourself. So it's the same thing. If you want an encounter with God, you have to go encounter God. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

Nobody can do that for you. And so laying out a place for people to do that is great. Well, not so. Because it gives them a practice. But then it changes how I can do it. Or, you know, like if you've never done it before, you're like, oh, it's not that hard.

SPEAKER_01 23:24

And it's risky because you're like, I'm inviting this space, and I'm like, please, God, meet us.

unknown 23:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

You know, because I'm not in charge of that part. No. Yeah. But you know, if we don't give him the space, he definitely isn't. Right. Yeah. But I was going to say, Kelly, that also like leads into what Casey's saying. Like, if you don't feed yourself and you come to Sunday morning, you come to church, like, I'm starving. Somebody feed me. You will always be dissatisfied. Yes, you will always be dissatisfied. And so if I come with the expectation, like I'm going to gather together, knowing that all of our voices combined bring a huge multitude of worshipers together. Yes. It changes the excitement and the fun of it.

Feed Yourself Then Follow Jesus

SPEAKER_02 24:04

Because our perspective of church is consumer. You can take care of our church is actually for the body to come together to edify each other than to go back out. Like we should come already full because we've been filling ourselves all week long. And then we can pour it out to the Lord together and then go and do it again. Yeah. Versus coming in dehydrated and hungry. Dehydrated and hungry. We have no idea how to function like that. Well, then you you know if you have a hangry, do you have a hangry child? I am anybody person. It's I have two, I think I have more than that, but two specifically, Jake and Lila. Jake can handle himself a little bit better now that he's older.

SPEAKER_00 24:44

Really?

SPEAKER_02 24:45

But it then you tell hangry people, go eat something, and then they get mad. Yeah. Like that will fix you, but then they get mad that you tell them. So Lyra, on the other hand, wow, turns into a complete psychopath. I'm not kidding. She's mean and mouthy, and I know you need to go eat food. And she'll be like, don't tell me to eat food. Go eat food.

SPEAKER_03 25:09

And then as soon as she eats, dancing chat.

SPEAKER_02 25:13

It makes me so mad. It just happened a couple days ago. She was not being nice. Libby was home, and I'm looking at Libby like she needs to eat something. And then she eats something, and then she's nice. I said, Don't be nice to me now. No. But that's how I feel about we come in starving and dehydrated. We're not.

SPEAKER_01 25:32

When is she gonna understand for herself what to do?

SPEAKER_02 25:34

Maturity, it's coming. Apparently. It's coming sometime. I don't know. Jake has it now. You need to eat food all day long. You're not mean to people. Jeez. But then you're mad at everyone around. Everyone, and it's your own fault. Like you didn't take time to feed yourself. It's no one else's fault but yours.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

I wish I could go to Casey's breakout, actually.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

Well, they're all recorded. Okay, they will be on, they will be on our podcast.

SPEAKER_03 25:57

And when you're hangry, you're maddest at those near you who are eating who already had lunch. Oh yeah. I get so mad because I've worked on it. Like one of my when we were newlyweds, my biggest, our biggest fights, my biggest offense for me was if he got food and didn't ask me if I needed some.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Like at your house.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

Uh if he was out. Anywhere. If he didn't think like he went in the kitchen and got a sandwich. Yeah. And even if I was out of town or something, or couldn't, I wanted him to be like, hey, I'm running by. Do you want me to grab it? And I'll be like, oh no, thanks. Thanks for thinking. I mean, I feel loved. But like if But about food. Yeah, if I'm like, do you want to go get some be like, oh, I actually just ate with so and so? I'm like, what happened? You didn't check. And I would be the quiet newlywed mad, you know. The like he could tell, but not. But you're mad that like feed yourself. Yeah, feed yourself. 20 something, not an expired ticket, I can go wherever I want and get food. But I'm mad at him. So feed yourself, guys. Kelly, what are you gonna talk about?

SPEAKER_02 27:03

So my I'll just give you the quick overview. I'm talking about not just being a believer, but becoming a follower. And I'm using examples in Jesus' life, how he uses women to come alongside of him and um play out his mission and what those women did and what they looked like and all of that stuff. We gotta stop saying use though. We gotta find a different verb. Wait, for Jesus using? Is that what you mean? Using partners, partners. I always say cola.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

You know, because like we use people for our own or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 27:35

Using in a good way.

SPEAKER_01 27:36

Using in a good way. Yeah. Allowing them to do work with him.

SPEAKER_02 27:39

Is that better? Allowing them to come alongside. I like partner. Partner.

SPEAKER_01 27:44

We're on the same team. Yeah. I don't know. We should check it. Thesaurus. We need other words for use. Yes.

Tickets And A Closing Prayer

SPEAKER_02 27:52

That has a better spin. Anyway, that's the gist. That's the very, very cliff note version of it. So if you haven't bought a ticket yet, we still haven't.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

I talked to somebody yesterday and they were like, I haven't bought a ticket. I'm buying one.

SPEAKER_02 28:04

I'm like, girl, buy it. What do you think?

SPEAKER_03 28:07

Are we capping or no? No.

SPEAKER_02 28:09

You can pay at the door, even if you don't know how to buy one bag. Yeah. There's just some stuff you might miss out on. Oh, yeah. But which is fine. No. That would be great. But come grab a friend. We're so excited and we cannot wait to see you guys here. Yeah. Do you want to pray? Oh, once you're going to.

SPEAKER_01 28:25

She wants to. Yes. Heavenly Father, we are praying in advance for Friday night and Saturday. God, I pray that every girl, every woman that um needs to be here is here. And I pray, Lord, that they come ready, ready to receive, ready to encounter. God, I'm actually praying that um these two days that they will turn women either slightly or sharply towards you. That is an irrevocable change towards you that will not be unchanged, that they will be facing you more than they were before. And so, Lord, we're just excited to meet with you and worship you and spend time with you this weekend. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
