Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of helping you learn God's Word.

Pastor Mark Driscoll here from Real Faith.

Happy to report.

We're now seeing over a billion impressions a year staggering as God's Word is going faster and further than ever.

I'm really excited to help you learn the scriptures, and if you would do me a favor, click

me get Bible teaching to someone who needs it, and hasn't yet heard it.

A crazy week. We spent the day out at Charlie Kirk's Memorial yesterday.

Yeah, I want to get into all of that, and I think we're in this really pivotal moment in the history of the nation and the church.

And those two things have sequenced in the death of Charlie Kirk.

I mean, what we've seen over the last, I guess, 11 days now is nothing's sort of incredible.

It was devastating.

And then it's been pretty cool to see what's come out of it.

Yeah.

So we'll share our experience yesterday and some thoughts that I have,

just by way of backstory. So I first met Charlie, you reminded me, he was like four or five years

ago. He contacted our office and was like, hey, can I get with Pastor Mark? I was like,

what a great honor. I respected Charlie Tremendison.

Went out to lunch at an Italian restaurant. He had no security detail, just me and him. I was like, it was a little while. I hung out for a couple of hours. Absolutely loved him, liked him, enjoyed him.

Great guy. Really lovable, massive personality, personality great wit obviously brilliant big smile very kind

hearted genuinely kindhearted and he's like hey can I get your cell phone number he's like yeah

I said I don't need anything but if I can ever be of any help so he's just started texting
