| 0:00.0 | Well, we're at the end of the year, and that's a chance for all of us to just say to the Lord, |
| 0:05.1 | thank you so much for all that you've been to us this year and all we believe you're going to do the next year. I really believe is we end something one way it positions us to begin it in faith, to begin it with God. That's so good. And we're just amazed by all God's been doing all this year, right? So amazed. God's so kind. |
| 0:21.8 | He's been so good. And I do want to share a story because this one's beautiful and powerful. |
| 0:27.5 | This is from Tara. She said, I first heard Pastor Levi preach in 2019 and his teaching immediately drew me in. |
| 0:34.6 | Last year, I was plunged into darkness when my 30-year-old daughter shared news that |
| 0:38.6 | left me devastated, afraid, and spiritually lost. One of your emails led me to the message, |
| 0:44.2 | the art of grieving, and the Holy Spirit used it to speak into my pain, refocus my heart, and change |

| 1:09.4 | Wow. |
| 1:10.1 | This is the kingdom. Yeah. That message, the art of grieving, |
| 1:14.3 | specifically, I wrote on the aftermath of my dad dying and just the struggle it was to believe |
| 1:21.2 | it was going to be okay and receiving comfort from the Lord and then feeling the calling, |
| 1:25.8 | the mandate like we felt for so long, |
| 1:27.7 | to put that out there, believing that other people are hurting too. And it has encouraged our |
| 1:31.9 | hearts so much to hear stories like this where that has been received readily. And it's the |
| 1:40.1 | joy of our lives to bring God's word to you each week. And we're so grateful to all those of you |
