Today we are excited to have a special guest, Pastor Dan Leanne, with us.

Lean in as we talk today about joy.

Check this out. Well, hey, how you doing? We haven't met before. Okay? My name is Dan Leanne,

and I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. That's the reason my voice is this way.

My mother and father are Malaysian Chinese. Yeah? That's the reason my face is this way.

But six years ago, my family and I moved to Anderson, South Carolina, where I get to serve as a

teaching pastor. So I am a Southerner now. That's the reason I have type 2 diabetes. I drive a truck.

I yawl a lot.

And as a part of my role there, I also get to travel around this blue rock God made talking about Jesus.

On my business card, it literally says gospel ninja.

I know that Pastor Chad calls Nate the gospel ninja, but way before Nate, there was Dan.

So I'm Gospel Ninja 1.0 and it's a real joy to be able to come and serve the Zoe family this weekend.

I love your pastor so much.

Pastors Chad and Julia, two of my oldest friends and to see what God has done in them and through them and how much they

well here at Zoe Church.

I'm not going to hold you up too long because I've got a clock up there that's running really,
