All right, Dr. Layton Flowers.

I'll tell you what, brother.

This one has been a long time coming for me.

I'm super excited to have you in the studio to get to sit down and have a face-to-face conversation with you.

I don't think you're as excited as I am to mention you.

Honestly, I really don't because, one, I wore my dad Navy shirt in honor of you and my son,

Which is the Romans 9 debate or the John 6th? John 6. Okay, yeah. It was intense. I mean, just your ability and praise the Lord for the ability that he's given you
