Hey friends and welcome to the Carlos Whitaker podcast. Hey, listen, you're about to go on a boat with me

and my buddy, Ty. This is going to be an incredible conversation on a deep sea fishing vessel with one of my

closest pastoral friends. And this is what I love about Ty. If you're a Christian, if you're not a Christian,

if you go to church, if you don't go to church, Ty is the guy for you. And I think you're going to get a lot out of this conversation.

I'm so grateful for Ty. So sit back, listen, share this with somebody that you think it could help.

And let's talk a little bit about our souls and what refreshing actually means. Here we go.

Hey, Carlos Woodaker podcast. I'm sitting here with the one and only Thai bean.

Good morning. And you invited me on this trip. I love inviting you to anything.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so tell everybody where we're at right now. So we're in Sitka, Alaska,

with Refresh Souls, and Mark Evans and Susan Evans, and this is a big deal for our church. Mark Evans, listen. Listen, hold on. I need you to see. Guys, hold on. Well, this right here is Mark Evans. How we doing, guys? Hey, everybody. Good morning, good morning. And this is the guy that's helping restore my freaking soul. Awesome. Yeah. This is the guy. Okay, I put the camera back down. All right. And, uh, Ty, okay, so Ty, we're at, I mean, what about this restores your soul, bro? Yeah. Alaska, if you've never been here before, is one of the most enriching places.

Eye-wise, smell, taste, touch, the whole deal. It's the physical soul. It's a physical

replenishing the spiritual and it's so cool. That's amazing. When's the first time you came to this place?

So I came about four years ago with Mark Eaton and Mark Evans had a dream to put something

together up here on an incredible island that we could take guys and gals out and just love on them.

Yeah.

There's a third year for me.

Four years ago, I started this.

But then before that, we were going to Refuge.

And Brian Carpenter there.

And it's just important to Heather and I that we keep people where God wants them to be.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so one of the things I wanted to talk about is you are the pastor of Cowboy Junction Church.

Cowboy Junction Church. Now listen, every single time I tell a friend of mine like the few times I've been there, hey, where are you heading this weekend? I was like, I want a cowboy junction church.
