All right, Brian Pierce, thank you so much for taking the time out of your evening to come here.

You know, I went on a podcast about a month ago, and I'm so excited about what the Lord has revealed to me in terms of just his love for us, who we are, who he is,

how powerful he is. And so everywhere I go, maybe I'm in the baby stage of this, right?

I'm just so excited because it is one of the most glorious doctrines that I have, that has, you know,

been revealed to me in all scripture, I mean, aside from salvation, right, by grace through

faith in Christ, like that is just the, the ultimate gift to us. but then to know and see that wow we've been chosen

uh it's it's just anyways when i go in places and i talk about that even when we do a we do a thing

every sunday three sundays a month called resurrected and even when i when i point to that even when we do a thing every Sunday, three Sundays a month called Resurrection, and even

when I point to that, even when I'm teaching, there are so many people who push back

so hard against that specific thing to the point that I came to your church meeting the other day for a sanity check

because I'm getting all these voices and it was so great man that while you were praying

you said Lord we're not here because of our free will. And I thought, man, somebody, by the way, will you start us off in prayer, brother? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Thank you. First of all, thanks for let me be here. It's a total honor, man. I appreciate it. I'm glad for our friendship.

And again, it's a privilege to be here with you, man.

Well,

well, you're the first in the lineup because, you know, my whole thing is, well, the Lord's put men in my life that are way smarter than me. and you know, why don't, I want all you guys to come on the podcast to talk about all different sides of this.

So you're the first. And, you know, why don't, I want all you guys to come on the podcast to talk about all different sides of this.

So you're the first in the lineup of about four pastors that we have coming on.

And I'll tell you why in a minute, why you're first in the lineup.

Start us off in prayer, please, brother.

Father, thanks for Chad.

I just thank you for your work in his life,

and I thank you for who you have created him to be and who you are creating him to be. Father,
