Hey, hey, guys. Welcome to the Encounter Now podcast. My name is Chelsea, and I'm one of your host. I'm joined here with my husband, Nick. And we are very excited for this episode because we have a special guest today, which is a dear friend of ours. His name is Justin Wollke. And we're excited to have you on, Justin. Well, thank you guys for having me on the podcast. I am so thrilled to be here. It's amazing. My name is Justin, and I am the young adults pastor at North Metro Church, but that just makes up a few hours of who I am every week.

I'm actually a husband to Kristen, who is incredible, selfless kind, challenges me to be a better man.

Grateful for 12 years of marriage to her. I'm also a father. I'm a foster father. We've got a three-month-old

baby at home, and he is such a dream. We've been foster parents to four kids now, and guys,

I just love doing that. But the reason I get to be on this podcast with you guys, and I'm grateful

for that, is because you know how much I believe in this generation. You know how much I believe

in what this generation is doing ultimately

to carry the name of Jesus throughout history. And you're not going to find a bigger champion of this

generation than me. That's awesome. I love it, guys. Well, in this episode, we got to talk about some

really awesome topics regarding doubt and purpose and everything in the middle. So we hope that you

enjoy this podcast and we cannot wait for you to hear it.

So Justin is actually, he's not just our young adults pastor, but he is my mentor. And I learn from

this guy so much. I lean into everything that he has to say. He's really not one of those guys.

You hear about mentors a lot where, you know, you can take the meat and spit out the bones. But

with Justin, there really is no bones. So I hope that you lean into everything that he has to say as well. And we're just excited to have you,

man. So thanks for being here. Yeah. So we figured we'd start off with a story of the week because we like

to talk a little bit about our week and things that went on. And we all happened to experience

one moment this week together, which was Easter Sunday. And it was incredible to have so many

different services on multiple different days and to see

how many people came out for the services while we're under construction. So we just thought

that was crazy. When we went up to Justin after the service that we attended, we asked him,

hey, how many people were at the services? And you said like 1600 on one of the early morning
