with regard to unity and especially the thing you're talking about like really being having more

expansive view of what unity looks like. What are some things in your journey maybe in the last

few years that have kind of caused you to go back and rethink this topic? Yeah, you know, I was

always told by my circle what other groups were like. So I just kind of stay away from those

groups because I've been told about you, you know, whether they're individuals or whatever,

but then throughout my travels over the years, I meet some of those individuals that I studied

in seminary, you know, and you go, whoa, that's not what I was told about you. You read the Bible,

you know, like you really know the word of God and you really cannot stand sin in your church.

Why would they say this about you? You know, and you start building these relationships and hearing

from their mouths and then on top of that, you know, I get, I just read the news about myself

occasionally, not anymore, but I'm like, whoa, what are they saying about me? Why would they say

that? Let me realize, oh man, that's what other people did and I believed what others wrote about

them without even asking them. Yeah, yeah. Realized we live in a very unfair time where when people are

trying to push their mindset, you know, they're going to squash others, you know, for whatever

reason. Yeah. And so now I'm just at this point where I'm going, I'm so sorry for people to people

that I've slandered before I really knew you, sorry for just listening to what others said about you,

or maybe catching one phrase that you said improperly and making assumptions about you.

I don't know, just as I got to meet these genuine brothers and sisters in Christ, I really missed

out. Not only did I slander you, but I missed out on everything that God could taught me through

you, through the gift He's given you.
