0:00.0	I want to tell you about some important dates that we have coming up. In a couple weeks, we are doing our
0:03.9	Dad Tired annual retreat, and that is going to be in North Carolina on September 20th to 22nd.
0:09.4	You are in the final weeks before we launch that. We will not take registration, I think about a week
0:14.3	or two before we go, just so we can have all the final things prepared. If you want to go to that, make sure you go to dadtire.com, click the
0:20.9	annual retreat tab and get your last minute tickets for that. That's going to be, again,
0:25.9	in North Carolina from September 20th to 22nd. We do that once a year. It is the highlight of what
0:31.0	we do here in the ministry. Simultaneously, we have some brothers in the UK who are going to be doing
0:36.5	their own retreat, and they're going to be
0:38.2	live streaming and watching recordings. So sometimes it'll be live streaming and sometimes
0:42.8	it'll be recordings from our sessions here in the US. But they will be doing their own retreat there
0:47.5	with their own activities, but again, streaming or watching the recordings depending on time
0:52.4	over in the UK. So if you want to go to that,
0:55.1	make sure you go to dadtired.uk to get more information on that. That's put on by some
0:59.2	dad tired volunteers over there. We have a dad tired one day conference coming up on September 28th
1:04.3	in Knoxville, Tennessee. We have one in a military base on October 12th. I think that's private. I don't think that's open in the
1:12.6	public, but I just wanted to tell you about that. It's really cool. We have our soldiers who are going
1:16.5	to be learning what it looks like to be the husband's fathers and disciples that God has
1:20.1	created them to be. So again, that's on October 12th. And just really cool. I wanted to let you
1:24.4	guys know that that's happening. On November 9th, we have a
1:28.1	Dad Tired One Day conference in Meridian, Idaho. If you're anywhere in that area, we'd love to have you
1:33.2	show up to that. If you are in Parigold, Arkansas, there's a church we're partnering with to do
1:39.4	their men's retreat. That's going to be on February 27th. And on February 8th, right before that, we're going to be in
