Well, welcome to culture and Christianity.

I'm excited today.

I have two friends from Israel with me, Yair and Anna Pinto.

Welcome back to Murphersboro.

Thank you.

It's great to be here.

And if we are half asleep, it's because we just landed three hours ago.

And we have been traveling for, what was it, like 15 hours? 15 hours, a layover.

But without the kids.

So no complaining.

You know, we left three kids with our grandparents back at home.

So this is like a vacation for us.

Three small children.

Exactly. Two, five and seven. Yeah. Yeah. You are on holiday. Yeah. And all of them look

like her exactly. Thank God. So like I didn't contribute any external genes, only internal organs

and stuff like that. And you're in the States for the NRB,, National Religious Broadcasters. Correct. Yes. Yes. And to meet friends like you, come on podcasts and know, share the truth. I'm sure you flew across eight time zones. I hope you flew across eight times zones so we could have a podcast. That's a delight. You're our first stop. We just landed and came here. Well, it is always good to see you. We are so thankful for your lives and what you're doing. I want to start and just introduce the people listening to who you are a little bit. Let me get to know you. We've had an opportunity to break bread together. You had surgery one day. And I called you post-op. I think you were still under the influence of anesthetic and you did a TV

show with me. I was. I remember that my leg was still up high because I got injured in in Gaza,

which, you know, was tough. But Anna was happy that I was, you know, back home and not in the front lines.

And I had the surgery and then went, went live. Your accent gives you away. You're Israeli. But Anna, you're you've got an American accent.

Yeah. Yeah. You're sober though, born in Israel. I was born in Israel, born in Jerusalem,

but my parents are American. They came to Israel. They went to a Bible school and met in Israel, and then I was born there.

So where did you two meet?
