Amen, amen.

Amen.

It's good to see you this morning church.

So exciting to be here.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with you and your loved ones.

We're going to continue in the It Doesn't Make Sense series we've been in for the last three weeks.

If you've missed any part of it, I would highly encourage you to go back and listen to the past couple of weeks as we dive

in this week.

Week one, Pastor Jobi shared with us the why and the heart behind this series and the spiritual

realities at work in this world that would keep us from living the abundant life that Jesus

has offered to us.

Last week, I shared a little bit about my story in regards to mental and emotional health

and things that I've been learning and things that I am learning in my own struggles and

in the promises of God coming true in my life. And so today, I brought some friends with me,

and they are, rest assured, real life professionals. And so you were in good hands. Let me introduce

you to my friends. This is Rebecca Maxwell. She's a part of the 1122 family. She, yeah, you can clap for her. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist and private practice. She's been married to Sean for 23 years. And together they have two nearly grown sons. What qualifies as nearly grown? Almost 18. Nearly grown. Now you know. You

were wondering, but now you know. They have two puppies and a nana. Rebecca is passionate about

the intersection of science and scripture, as well as the role of our relationship with God

to our overall health. She leads a team of six therapists and growing, and she is writing a book called

Jesus and your mental health, which will come out next year.

Awesome.

Let me introduce you to my good friend Ray McConnell.
