All right, well, hello, Ports.

All right, well, hello, Porch. Good to see you. What a gift to be here. Thanks, Kylo. And I have been

encouraged by the ministry of the Porch for a very, very long time. So it's a bit surreal for me

to get to be here. I know you're here all the time. I'm sure you know how amazing it is that you get to be a part of this, but what God is doing it in through this ministry is incredible. So from Atlanta to you, thank you. And thanks for having me here tonight. Kylan, thanks for having me. I love listening to Kyle and preach. I love listening to

TA preach. It's not really fair that they're at the same church, but it's a real gift to be here.

And I'm so excited about the message. I believe the Lord's given me for us tonight. I want to

introduce you just a little bit. I know you don't need to know everything about me, but just a little

bit since this is my first time here.

This is a picture of my family. My wife and I have been married for just over 10 years,

and these are our three girls. The oldest on the bottom left is Mercy. The blonde is Imbar,

and Charlie is our baby. Mercy is the typical typical firstborn she asks for extra homework and has

never broken a rule in her life umber uh we're not sure if she's going to run a very large company one

day or be incarcerated time will tell uh and then charlie is just happy to be alive. You know, third kid, never had a bad day

in her life, but it is, it's crazy how much joy they bring to my life. So love them a lot. I'm

part of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia. I've been on team there for over 12 years,

currently serving as the teaching pastor.

And I'm so grateful that the Lord has invited me into what he's doing.

So it's not the message tonight, but if I can just put a message before the message,

the message would be God's plans for your life are so much better than your plans for your life.

And I hope you believe that to be true.

I've loved journeying along these last few weeks.

It have been amazing.
