I'm I'm Oh, anybody excited to be in church today? Come on, make some noise. Every location.

I am so honored to be with you. You want to officially welcome all of those locations across Alabama and Georgia.

Anyone joining us online or on demand. So grateful you can be a

part of this moment. And of course, the men and women of the Alabama correctional facilities,

all 28 facilities. You're part of our church family and now one facility over in Georgia. More

to come there. One more time, Highlands. Let's put our hands together. Never miss a chance to welcome

and all these things will be given you as well. And this verse is so powerful because it really is,
