Hey, this is Stephen Furtick. I'm the pastor of elevation church and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your

faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God as moving in your life. Enjoy the message.

of the Word of God. You may be seated. Beta blessings. Put it in the chat. Beta blessings.

Say it out loud. Beta blessings. Y'all in the room when I say put it in the chat for y'all

you don't have a chat right now so you could just say it. All right. You can actually

chat it. It's a substitute for people who can't say it out loud but y'all can do it for

real. Say everybody say beta blessings. Summer using thumbs, summer using tongues. Beta.

You know beta? I don't mean like a sorority or something like that. Alpha beta gamma. I
