Hey guys, thanks for checking out this Bible teaching.

Every week release a podcast that corresponds to the sermon.

It's like a little bit of a deeper dive where we hit some things that didn't make it into the sermon,

some theological concepts.

We talk about things that are going on in our culture and how to think about them from a biblical perspective.

We call that podcast Live Free.

An episode releases every Monday that corresponds to the sermon. If you would like to check out

Live Free, just go to the Lake Point YouTube channel and look for the podcast tab there. We'll see you at

Live Free. Now, enjoy this Bible teaching. Such an honor to be with you, Lake Point, and to dive into

God's word. I'm going to start with just a confession for you. I grew up with a fear of flying,

and here's the reason why in the eighth grade, I flew for the very first time on an airplane to

Washington, D.C. And as we were in this airplane, there was a tornado on the runway. And you could listen to the pilot talk about hey we're

going to have to divert to another airport and then hey I don't know if we have enough fuel all while

the plane's just bouncing around and people have those bags out and this is you know I'm just like is this

normal like is this what flying is like and so when we land I'm like I don't ever want to do that again. And of course, as I grew up, sometimes I had to and I would travel, but every time I would get on an airplane, it seems like they would say, hey, we're going to be going through some turbulence today. Then I'm like, you know, some rough air. I'm like, that's the only kind of air I know, is the rough kind. And so in March,

my wife and I, there was, it was in the springtime, we were going to fly to Miami. And of course,

I have a little bit of anxiety getting on this airplane with her. And we're up in the sky and the pilot comes over the intercom,

the PA, and says, hey guys, we're going to be flying through some storms today. There's some storm

cells. So we're going to be experiencing some rough air. I'm like, of course we are. I'm on the plane.

And so, you know, you're going to keep your

seatbelts on. I'm going to have the flight attendant stay in their seats. And I'm just like, oh, no,

here we go again. So I pull out my Bible because God protects you when you have your Bible open,
