Summary
On this week's episode, I answer listener questions on how to encourage and teach protection to a church congregation, and the top three things that influenced my life.
People tend to think, "Trouble's not going to happen here or happen with me."
- Unfortunately, sometimes church people say, "I'm not worried, God is taking care of us." Well, God gave you a brain, too.
- You might have heard the old story about the guy on his roof during a flood. A boat came to save him and he said, "Nope, I'm fine. God will save me." Then he declined another boat and eventually a helicopter. After he drowned and went to Heaven, he asked God what happened. God said, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more do you want?"
- We have to use some common sense, here. Ask questions that will allow people to explore the truth.
The list of the top things that have influenced my life is very fluid.
- It's often according to what's going on in my life at any given time.
- My relationship with God, many books, and many important people have been the sandpaper that has shaped my life.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear about all the famous folks Andy has consulted with in just the last three weeks, including the second man to set foot on the moon!

| 0:21.6 | Why are you laughing already? |
| 0:22.9 | I am laughing because of your schedule just it baffles me. |
| 0:30.3 | And I started to, I wanted to start off to this episode by listing some of your recent activities. |
| 0:39.8 | But I was making the list and then I was reading through it and I just started laughing. That's one of the things that's unique about this podcast. |

| 0:52.7 | We've got a sponsor. Do I talk about the sponsor or do you talk about my schedule? What do we say? And do I want to hear my schedule? It's going to make me depressed? No, well, hopefully it'll make other people laugh or smile or something. But why don't you give us the sponsor first? I know that we're excited about this.

| 1:42.2 | minutes away from me. |
| 1:51.0 | And I thought, at some point I thought, why did I get this thing two hours and 45 minutes? |
| 1:54.6 | Because occasionally I'll go up there and I talk to them and I, you know, I'll take the Polaris up there and they do stuff on it if they have to. |
| 2:00.2 | And, and I realized there are, I looked at the map. |
| 2:04.4 | There are seven Polaris dealers closer to me than Tucker ATV. |
