Day 81 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

I don't know if you saw the news, if you saw the shorts or the reels on Instagram, but we did it last night.

We hit 100,000 people in this community, meaning 100,000 Bible study friends. How did we all get so lucky to be able to be blessed with so many friends? And I am just so excited to see what God is going to continue to do in the lives of every person here. I am praying that it will only continue to bring him glory and to bring

people closer to him in relationship, and that we will all grow to be disciple makers, because

that's what we've all been called to do. That is the Great Commission. So thank you for

being a part of this and for bringing people into the kingdom of God and for just making it

a safe place for us to be able to come together as a

family, to be able to encourage one another, to sharpen each other, and to love Jesus together.

So with all of that said, tomorrow begins our prep day for our holy week. So if you have not done so,

please make sure that you download our nine day devotional. You can find that at heartdive.org slash Easter. It's our free gift to you. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. Nobody's forcing you to. Same thing. If you don't want to celebrate Easter, you don't have to. Nobody's going to judge you for it. But collectively as a church, we just come together in unity to celebrate the death, the resurrection of Jesus, and what he has done for us. And I think that that brings joy to the Father's heart as we remember him collectively. So before we begin, if you could please help us out by hitting that like button, making sure you're subscribed. You've got that notification bell on. If you want to check out the Facebook group, you can continue conversations there. And if you have any questions about this Bible study, make sure to head on over to our website,

harddive.org, or check out the description box.

Lots of information, lots of links down there for you to be able to access.

Otherwise, let's pray and jump into it.

Heavenly Father, thank you.

Thank you for this community.

Thank you for the 100,000 people that have faithfully hit that subscribe

button to say, we want to know you more, Jesus. That's why we're here. And in the grand

scheme of things, 100,000 really isn't that much, Lord. We are just a small, tiny, tiny part of what

you are trying to do in the world. But Lord, we are excited because that is just a little love

note from you, a little benchmark to say, you know what, you guys are on the right track. You are growing the kingdom. And that's all we really need to know. But it's still exciting to know, Lord, that people are hungry for your word and for your presence. And so I pray that we stay focused on that and that we will all rise up to do our part to be able to bring others, Lord, into that same

place, not necessarily in this Bible study, but at least in your presence, speaking to other

people about who you are, Lord, inviting them to church, whatever it is that we need to do
