Oh,

La-d-da-la-la-la-oh-oh-oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-oh.

Hey, everybody, this is Megan Allman, stand to reason.

0:35.3

Wow, probably not the voice that you're normally expecting to hear on the radio show.

0:39.9

My first time behind the microphone on this end anyway, I've been interviewed before, but today I am in the seat, so to speak.

0:48.5

So thrilled to be with you all. We are just coming off of a wonderful weekend in Seattle. Of course, we've been doing the

0:56.9

reality apologetics conference. That was stop number two in Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest did

1:02.4

not disappoint at all. Gosh, it was beautiful. Seattle is beautiful in October, but more than that,

1:09.7

the people who came, the team, the job that we did, the church that hosted us, it was a fantastic event. So super grateful to be a part of that. Of course, many of you know if you're following along with these stops that Minneapolis is next, reality Minnesota. You can still get tickets for that particular stop through this Friday.

2:03.6

Tripp is the stand to reason outpost coordinator. And we are actually doing one breakout session at reality this year on a Christian worldview response to dating.

2:16.5

And most of that session is like an open forum format. So we get all kinds of

2:21.3

questions from the students who come on. How do we look at dating through a Christian worldview

2:26.0

lens? Anyway, it's a great time. Come join us in Minneapolis if you can. Well, this is surreal for me. I have to say, it's been, gosh, the first

2:38.3

time I listened to the Stand to Reason radio broadcast was 20 years ago. And so to be sitting

2:45.2

where I'm sitting today is surreal. That's the best word I have for it. This felt like an ordinary

2:50.6

day. Definitely got up
