Welcome to the Jesus Image podcast.

Such an immense honor to be here. It's been too long. I've been to the church community here

a number of times since this has started, but it's been a little while. And I just want to say

it is such an immense honor to get time with you guys.

I just think this is one of the most amazing, remarkable church communities in America.

I really mean that.

I talk about what's happening here everywhere.

I think Michael and Jess are two of the greatest leaders in the body of Christ in America.

Their integrity, their purity, their holiness, their hunger for the presence of God.

So, so grateful for them.

Their voice into the body of Christ is so needed right now.

And what you represent as a community is so needed in our nation right now and in the

nations of the earth. And the impact you're having is so much bigger than many of you realize.

Places around the world are gaining courage because of what you're pioneering here. And so I just

want to thank you for prioritizing the presence of God. Thank you for not just doing church, but really

going after the presence of God, really going after a zeal and passion for his presence. Thank you for

being different, being radical, like long services, not running by a clock, but running after him. Thank you for prioritizing the

gospel. Thank you for making worship the center. Thank you for being a house that is a house of

prayer. I mean, thank you for all the priorities and the values that you have stewarded here.

Your impact is much bigger than you realize. Please don't stop. Please don't

get tired. Please don't give up. Please just be getting started. Please take it further, higher, deeper.

Please get more radical in your commitment to the gospel and Jesus and the blood of Jesus.
