Thank you very much.

Hello friends, great vocal here and black back in the saddle again. Missed you last week. Sorry about that.

I guess we had shows but there were ones we had in the can just for such occasions as when I get under the weather.

I don't know. I have some kind of stomach flu or something man and it was no fun and I lost about seven pounds probably most of it was water.

But it was a bad couple of days there for me but back rolling again and good news bad news here about Dallas reality coming up this weekend and the good news is it is completely sold out.

That is every seat in the main auditorium and every seat in the overflow that's 2600.

And the bad news is that it's completely sold out which is bad news if you didn't get your tickets but there's more good news and the good news is this is the event that we stream.

So this is going to be filmed it will be streaming you can go to reality student apologetics website called reality apologetics dot com and all the details are there lots of people have signed up for streaming.

If you're in town you can't make it you can do the streaming if you're on the other side of the world you can still do the streaming so that's all available.

And this is I will just say in my humble opinion the best reality we have ever done and that is entirely due to the creative work of our incredible team and Friday night is the don't miss event if you if you can't do the whole thing.

Please tune in for the Friday night event because it is so unique and so special and so much fun and so substantive.

I don't want you to miss it in fact I'll be there obviously all of them but I drag my wife along for this time too so she's on the docket with me will front flying out I got a buddy ticket for her you know with my my delta perks and she'll be there Thursday Friday Saturday and coming back Sunday with me.

So that'll be nice to have her and I'll have some other friends who will be meeting there as well but we're really excited about the event coming up.

Incidentally Philly is filling up right now we have 907 and we're four weeks away of 1100 plus 200.

So we have roughly 900 of and 400 to go right is that right 912 yeah 400 seats that 200 by the way is overflow.

So we got 900 200 left in the main auditorium 200 for overflow and likely we will sell sell that one out.

We've actually sold out every single event with the kind of modest exception of Minneapolis because that's grace church even perry that holds what 4100 or so and we had 3800 which means for all intents and purposes you can't really get a whole lot more people and there's a couple hundred more seats there but they scattered around.

And you can't get 400 people I'm sorry 4000 people into 10 rooms for breakouts. I mean that's another big problem.

So we we're at capacity everywhere we've gone which I think makes the point that young people who are Christians and followers of Jesus want to make a difference in their culture and want answers to the hard questions which is why they show up and why they take notes and why they're fired up about the next year's event.

And we keep increasing our numbers so we took a little bit of hit during covid but that was the same year 2020 we opened up Seattle and and that sold out now last fall.

Okay so there you go good news bad news good news.

I am always suspicious of statistics that report how the culture views Christianity Christians all right here's a question that was sent to me once it's often said that Christians are judgmental homophobic moralistic.
