All right.

Your hands made the blind to see and by your voice restored the week.

All right, welcome to the Deconstruction's podcast, everybody. I'm Adam Narlock. And I'm John Williamson. And we got something special for you today. Very special. Extra. Like about as special as it gets, actually. Yeah. Yeah. So we talk about this when we kick this episode off, but we have a very special guest with us today.

And I know I talk about this in the episode, but it's important to, I think, kick this one off by giving some context.

And so one of our dear friends, Simon Forsy's, some of you reached out to us, is very sweet on social media and through email and stuff when you find out, especially those of you've been listening to us from the beginning. He was our second ever episode. Dear friend who helped us kickstart this whole project, helped us set up our original website, helped us with all sorts of stuff.

Massive support. Yeah, so Simon Forsyth was our first ever live interview, episode number two.

You guys should go back and listen

to it. I'm so happy that we got a chance to do it because now it's this time capsule that we have

forever. Yeah. So we had, so we have Mel Forsyth, his wife on today. Hey, Mel. And so Mel,

was kind enough to join us today to talk about Simon and, you know, his legacy is, you know, the things that we loved about him and just talk about, like, his journey and where he was going.

And so the second part of the series will be with a dear friend of ours who's been on

the show multiple times. I think he's the longest running champion. Sweet, sweet Uncle Shia.

Yeah. We'll talk more about the Camino. So yeah, what else we want to say? Yeah, no, it's just

kind of one of those things that you kind of commemorate life while it's happening and you pick up whatever's happening around you and you honor it and we tell stories.

And this is kind of what we do on this podcast.

And a lot of times it's reaching out and trying to find that author that we think is going to give people some, you know, some hope or some

different perspective or, you know, some exciting things to think about. But sometimes it's just

good to just drop all that for a second and just be human and look at what's around you because

that's just as special. And Simon and Melanie Forsyth are the reason John and I are here. Yeah. And we all

can't be without each other. We're all inextricably linked. We love each other. Yep. And

their church was my church and is still my family. and Mel is my family.

And now she is the lead pastor, and always was the lead pastor, but now she's doing it on her own of the church that her and Simon pastored and started together.
