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 one of our Watermark students, Mason Boyle.

Hey, what's up? Mason, I'm so glad you're here. You are actually the first student we've had on the podcast, but we're going to start

bringing y'all on every once in a while on Wednesdays because tonight, students' small groups

are meeting for Shoreline, which is our high school ministry in Wake, middle school, and Mason,

we just met today, and I would love to hear how long you've been at Watermark, where you serve,

and why you're grateful for your community. Yeah, I've been attending Watermark ever since I was five. I've always been here.

And how old are you now?

Oh, 17.
