Hey there, I hope your summer is going well. This summer my team is continuing to do something here on

fearless to start real conversations with those in your church, your family, and your community.

So we're taking another look at an episode

drinks that well and he said I'll pay you $20 to say I'm going to order water

but you bring me this so then later I'm going to order water, but you bring me this.

So then later, I'm not sure how the story unfolded,

but he's revealing to one of the church staff

that they went to dinner with of what he did.
