Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with

The Substitute Teacher. Yes, the teacher is out of the building, but there's a substitute here. And I have to say first, I'm glad you joined once again. If this is your first time, know that it's never too late to join the journey with Jesus or with us as we walk

through the New Testament for the year. But the substitute teacher that is here is Marvin Walker.

I'm glad to be stepping in as a substitute because the teacher, the scholar, and the voice of this

podcast is just on a brief break for the week. And I know it's the substitute. And this substitute at this time

2nd Corinthians 12. Chuck, how you doing, man? Hey, Marvin. Good to be with you. And glad to be the

adjunct professor today. I love the fact we get to do this together. This is fun. Chuck, when it comes to

Watermark Community Church, what are some things that you're excited about or that you're currently doing?

So, Marvin, I came to Watermark really excited about regeneration because a church I had pastored was using

And then from that point

external focus folks. But most importantly, the thing that draws us together is our love and

passion for South Dallas and the South Dallas campus and the things that are happening there.

So just a joy to have this opportunity. All of it is a joy from region to South Dallas.

Praise God for all of it. Let's get into Second Corinthians a bit, Chuck. Second Corinthians

Chapter 12. What are your thoughts as we gather around the word for Second Corinthians chapter 12 today?

So Marvin, when I came to Second Corinthians chapter 12 today so Marvin when I came to 2nd

Corinthians chapter 12 the passage that has meant really so much to me through the years

is 2nd Corinthians chapter 12 beginning in verse 7 Paul says so to keep me from becoming

conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations a thorn was given me in
