0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tire podcast. We're going to be talking about Advent today, really
0:03.6	fun and practical conversation for you. So make sure you stick around for that. Before we jump in,
0:07.5	do want to thank my friends over at Owello for sponsoring today's episode. Owello is permanent lighting
0:12.4	that you can put on your house one time so that you don't have to get up on the ladder every holiday.
0:17.4	Really cool product, really cool company. They're big fans of dad tired. I'm big fans of
0:21.8	what they've got going. We've got them on in our house and we are kind of the talk of the
0:25.5	neighborhood right now. All of our neighbors keep coming by at night and checking out the lighting
0:29.5	show that we put on. You can do it all through your app. You can set them on timers. You can pick
0:33.4	any color imaginable, all the patterns. These things last up to 100,000 hours. So you're going to get
0:38.7	decades of lighting on your house. And again, you don't have to jump on a ladder every holiday.
0:43.4	You can just do it once. You could either install them yourself or you can have their team come out

0:51.5	They blend in with your house during the day. And then at night,
0:54.4	these things just come to life. Again, any pattern, any color. You can control it all through your
0:59.1	app from anywhere in the world. Really, really cool product. Highly suggested to go check out
1:03.8	what they've got going. You can go to Owello.com. That's OE-L-O-com. Check out the products there and get a
1:10.7	quote and get all squared away with your permanent
1:13.5	holiday lighting. Also want to thank my friends over at Dwell differently. I've talked about them
1:17.9	a lot on this podcast. If you're a dad looking to lead your family, really practical. I'm always
1:22.8	looking for practical ways to lead your family. Obviously, we want our heart changed and everything that we do
1:28.3	as far as leading our family towards Jesus, being an overflow of the heart from what God is doing
1:33.6	in us personally as dudes. But I'm also looking for really practical stuff and dwell differently
