Have a seat, Passion.

Hey, you ready for a great time? Have a seat, Passion.

Hey, you ready for a great time?

Come on, are we fired up or what?

I know I am.

I cannot believe we have the chance to gather together like this.

It is so amazing and wonderful to see each and every one of you. If you are here

here before, you know that God is going to meet you in a mighty and a powerful way. I have my expectations

incredibly high. Hey, one more time though, would you mind? Because this whole thing does not

happen on accident. There are over 2,000 door holders, people that took time off of work to be

leadership over the years? Can we thank the passion team for all of their leadership? Come on, put your

hands together. We're going to say thank you that these individuals laid out the red carpet for us.

turn and look at the picture because I'll probably start crying. It was a holy moment. Her name is

El Grace. She's my favorite child. Okay. She's my favorite child. We've got three. And I got to hug her afterwards. Her mom and I baptized her. Then we took a family picture afterwards.

And my beautiful wife of 28 years, still my sexy piece of dark chocolate, my best friend, we all gathered together as a family with my son and my new daughter-in-law
