Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining. Today, I am actually joined by two of our Institute students as we continue through the Book of Romans. I've got Ben Creachie.

What's going on, y'all? And Ben is actually in the podcast studio every time we record. He

helps read through the scripts beforehand, mark down edits. He keeps this thing running. You know,

just check for heresy. Yeah, that's why he's here, really. And then we've got Carrington Sladen.

What's up, guys? And Carrington, where are you currently placed in the Institute? I'm currently on the

Watermark College team, and we meet every Thursday nights at 9 p.m. So if you're a college student, 18 to 22 year old in Dallas,

you should come hang out with us on Thursday nights. And here's what you need to know about my two friends.

Carrington's a big runner. I am. But she's also into pickleball. So into pickleball. But she does both activities in Hokas.

The only brand to wear. And I would passionately disagree, but that's becoming more and more of an

unpopular opinion. For sure. And Ben, he's pretty unsuspecting, also into pickleball. Very into pickleball.

But if you're 35 or under, you'll get this reference.

His keys are on a off-white keychain.

Didn't want you to bring this off.

He is styling.

That is a designer brand.

It was a gift, though.

I promise.

Don't catch you on preachers and sneakers.

Ben Kirby, don't come for me.

But those are my

friends. I'm so glad y'all get to hear from them today. So Romans 5, Carrington, you want to kick us off?
