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. I am in the podcast studio with Mr. Will McElroy. What's up, Emma?

Will, you're back. I'm back.

Why tell the people why you're back? Yeah, so today is August 24th, which if you're a parent, your kids are probably in school right now.

And then for us, I'm a local youth pastor.

I'm the shoreline men's coordinator, which is our high school ministry.

And for us, the start of the school year is also the start of small groups.

And so August 31st will be for many groups, the first small group.

And so I'm back because if you're a parent or if you're a student listening to this, I'd love to invite you to come join a small group and come check it out.

I think the easiest way to go do that would be to go to watermark.org slash students.

And whether you're in middle school or high school you can click around and find out a

form to just kind of fill out your information and someone on the student's team will be reaching

out to you and get you connected sweet easy enough and starting Wednesday of next week

small groups kick off yes and starting Wednesday of next week we'll have a student on the podcast.

Hopefully every Wednesday, most Wednesdays.

And we're pumped.

But that's next week.

Today, we are in Luke 3.

We are.

We're in Luke 3.

Good.

I'm glad I've got the chapter right.
