The

The Well, welcome today to week number six of our Beatitudes series.

Again, a big hello to all of our campuses.

I want to say a big high to all of those in the Alabama Department of Corrections.

We're in 21 of those facilities.

God bless you guys.

Love you so very much. And to everybody that's watching online right now, live around the world. We're so glad you're along for the ride.

Come on, Grant Spill, say a big hello. God bless you guys. So glad you're here. Really are.

And today, we have a guest speaker. I gave myself the Sunday off because this past week,

This past week, we had 41 pastors in town.

And then this coming week, we're going to have a conference of more than 4,000 pastors and leaders from around the nation as ARC celebrates its 20th anniversary as a church planting movement. To God be the

glory for that. Yeah, if you want to clap, go ahead. That's pretty awesome. In fact, y'all

really want to clap? We planted in these 20 years 997 churches all across America. Come on,

give God all the praise for that. It's awesome. But I just felt like, you know, it takes me so much time to put

these messages together. I just thought it'd be great as I'm serving these pastors to bring in

my pastor. I think every pastor needs a pastor. And today I'm just delighted my pastor. He's been

my pastor since I was 15 years old, so years now I just I've known this man and

served of course at Bethany in Baton Rouge for a number of years and he's still

my pastor calls me every week checks on me praise for me encourages me prophes

over me just blesses me in every way and he serves as one of our five
