This is the Bayma Podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host Brent Billings.

Today we're joined by a special guest Dr. A.J. Cheryl, who has more than 20 years of experience as a pastor as a

lead pastor at St. Peter's Church in Charleston, South Carolina. He has served as adjunct

professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, and he is the author of a new book called Rediscovering Christmas.

A.J. Welcome to the show.

It's so good to be with you guys. Thanks for having me today.

And if you want to add any more color to the introduction that I just gave, I'm sure that your life

has more interesting things than the simple list of accomplishments as cool as those are and I'm

sure there's lots of stories behind those so anything that you

want to just add to what I said please feel free to introduce yourself yeah it's

I'm a spouse I'm a dad I'm a pastor writer but really I'm a chef imposter that's really what gets a lot of my time today and I'm currently learning

how to flyfish so 10 and 2 is where I've been living in recent days with my arm.

But now I live in Charleston.

We do two things really well, and that's food and fishing.

So I'm leaning into that with all of my soul.

See, that's the, he just nailed the extra intro. Like that's it, that's the he just nailed the extra intro like that's it that's exactly the imposter chef 10 and 2 flight that's it that was perfect I love it

I don't I don't know anything about fly fishing but I feel like I know a little bit more now. No, something has to be

attended to. It's beyond driving. It's that flick of the wrist. It's that flick of the wrist.

Well and where you live you should know that by now if not you should get to know that

because Idaho is chock full of river streams I squander everything about where I

live and who I am like I don't really care about hunting or fishing and I like I have Irish heritage.

I don't I don't drink beer so I'm like I'm just a terror I don't like corn beef and cabbage.
