Pastor Bobby, thanks for being here. I'm excited that you're here and I have a really pleasant memory to share with you.

You probably don't even remember this.

I know you remember going onto a youth TV network where I used to be one of the co-hosts,

so they would rotate me out with different guests.

And we would have several different guests coming through that network.

You can probably relate to this in that that phrase

don't meet your heroes is sometimes true because sometimes the people are a little distant,

little cold, little stuffy. And I remember we had a string of guests who were just very difficult,

very, you know, standoffish. And I'll never forget when you came on to set and you just

stood out from any of the guests that we had prior, at least to me, because your kindness,

the way you interacted with everyone, you were talking with everyone from the hosts to the camera

people, to the people at craft services. And you were just spreading this joy, this warmth. And I

remember thinking, that's a man of God right there. And I remember every time you came on set,

I was, I breathed a sigh of relief. I'm like, okay, we got, we got a good man got a good man on set today. So I'm glad you're here. That's my first memory. That's really encouraging. Thank you. I'm embarrassed to tell you, I don't remember that. I was told him yesterday. He says we did this show. I remember interviewing you. Yeah. On praise, I think, a couple times. I mean, was it praise or something? It was praise. And then they did a couple of youth specials on praise the Lord. Yeah. Yes. And I think probably in that stage of my life, too, I was doing a, I think I had a book or something. So I was like touring, I do remember you. I just don't remember that first moment. Well, my hopes and dreams are crushed. They've come down to the floor. I remember you. I just don't remember that first moment. Well, my hopes and dreams are crushed.

They've come down to the floor. I remember you. I remember you. I don't remember the show.

And I do remember you because look how far God's brought you. You know, obviously, as anointing was on

your life. And how old, I forget if you asked, we were 34, 32, 35. 35. Yeah. So I mean, you're just getting started and wow, I just can't wait to see where God's gonna take you and I'm such a, it's such a privilege to be here with you and it was such a privilege to know you all these years and to see you, you know, start there in youth television and now being here with your amazing team. I mean, these guys are incredible.

You've got an all-star team.

So it's really my privilege to be here with you, my friend.

Well, thank you.
