Hey guys, welcome back to the Encounter Now podcast. I am Chelsea, one of your hosts, and I'm joined here with my

husband, Nick. Today we're going to be talking about integrity, and we think this is an important

conversation to have because we feel like the world is filled with a bunch of issues and opinions,

especially currently. And so we wanted to talk about something that we think is even more important through

it all. And that is the person that we are. Our character, integrity, they both go hand in hand,

and we think we need to have a conversation about it. So let's go ahead and dive into this episode.

Hope you enjoy.

Thank you. this episode. Hope you enjoy. What's up everybody? Welcome to today's episode. We're so glad that you joined in to just

listen to this talk and this chat between Chelsea and I on integrity.

Wow, everybody loves hearing that word. Yeah, just such a thrown around phrase that we hear

a lot about today, but no, on a more serious note, I do think that it is important that we

discuss it and that we actually bring it up because I think

while a lot of us do know what it means and what it is and why it is important I think a lot of us

also don't I know especially in my younger walk with Christ and as a Christian I didn't really

understand the value that is behind this and how much older leaders look at this and people who you know maybe you want to

work in a church or or people who aren't even christians integrity is just this important yeah or like

maybe you just want to be a good person like this is this is a really really big hinge point that

I've had on my heart for a while and I've been reading through a few books in scripture myself and this just keeps popping off the page to me.

And so I just thought we should bring it up and just have an overall discussion and talk about it.

Yeah, I think an underlying message within all of our podcast has had to do with integrity in a way.

I think it's just important that we address it in some pretty much everything that we do because

it really is contingent on like, do you back up what you say? Like are you really living the life
