All right, friends.

Honestly, I've been doing this pastor thing for a little while now, and I've had smoother

transitions.

Um, so this session is going to be, uh, really, really fun.

We're going to have a conversation.

I am seated between two of the more influential biblical scholars alive today, and I'm

Tyler.

So we should have a great time.

One sincere request, and I mean this with all sincerity,

both Tim and Tom are making a calculated risk by talking entirely off the cuff in front of a room

of several thousand folks.

So I want to ask you to not post anything that is said on social media.

And I don't mean that as a joke.

I mean, with total sincerity, this,

we're going to workshop ideas about the Holy Spirit in front of you.

And that is a great gift that you're being offered.

So please don't take advantage of it by saying,

Tom Wright smoked a pack of cigarettes in the Athens airport and, you know,

or something that you hear in this time. Like, please just,

please simply receive and process what is being offered to you personally without needing to share it with everyone

who isn't in this room. Cool? I just remembered while saying that that we're live streaming

this. So I guess never mind. You were, yeah.
