Welcome to Dr Nan Devotion, a podcast that explores Christian faith and practice from a

Reformed Baptist perspective. My name is Joe Thorne. I'm the lead

pastor of Regemmer Fellowship in St Charles Illinois and I'm

Dreaming Fowler Executive Pastor at Redeemer Fellowship. Why the pause? Why the slowdown?

Because you've been changing things up on the intro.

So I was like, how much? I changed it up.

Okay, well you ruined it. That's a difference.

I went. I change the tempo.

And I feel like I drew the audience in no no you're

You dragged it out you didn't draw them in the difference between dragging it out and

They do the same no they don't in my experience. Really?, when I drag it out people are like, oh I'm drawn in. Really? I don't. Yeah. I don't know. No, no, I've heard it. I've heard it. I've heard it. I've heard it. I've told myself. So I've heard it. Okay, so you have heard it.

That's probably the most common way that we should be reassuring ourselves

is by simply telling us the things that we like to hear.

Yeah, I do it all the time.

Because who else is going to say it?

That's my problem.

No one else.

Everyone's so selfish and self-centered

that they don't think about me and tell me the things I'm doing well.

Well you know what Jimmy they need to be I just want to say oh oh yes after thinking about it

I really like that you drag drag that whole thing out thank you Joey that you know that means a lot even if it didn't draw people in maybe even if it didn't doesn't matter. You know Joey I've been

hating to admit this but the way you've been changing up the intros really have been inspiring thank you man yeah appreciate that yeah
