Welcome to First Lutheran Church. I'm Evan McClanahan. I'm the pastor here. I'll be the host and moderator for the debate this evening.

First, a few quick announcements. If you need to go to the restroom, it's behind me in a hallway.

You can access it through that door.

You'll just have to get up and walk in front of everyone.

We won't have intermission, so we're all at peace with it.

Do what you have to do if you like these sorts of theological

conversations and debates you might want to check out especially if you're in Houston

a theology by the pink theology by the Pink, Theology by the Pint.

Org.

We have monthly events and a podcast called Theology on Air.

So check out the website and we want you to be a part of that conversation.

After the event, Dr. White, who his followers and listeners

will know he is in the midst of a five debate

teaching tour, so he is going to leave after the debate he's not able to shake hands and sign books but if you're coming to the debates about a month from now then he'll maybe be able to do that then so please excuse him for that.

And after the debate, Mr. Horn will be next door.

He'll be signing books, meet and greet, yes.

You are probably familiar with both speakers,

and the introductions are in your program,

so I'm not going to spend much time doing that.

I'll only say that if you want to learn more about our speakers you can go to

Dr. Wipes website a-O-M-N.org that's of course for Alpha and Omega Ministries and Trent Horn

you can learn more at Trent Horn.
