Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

Did you like your gravy thick and rich and loaded with creamy mushrooms?

If no one was looking, would you chug the whole gravy boat?

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.

Stay tuned.

Here comes Mr. Chug-a-lug-lug himself, Eric Ma, Texas.

Folks, welcome to the program.

I'm really excited whenever I get to talk to friends of mine on the program because it doesn't feel like work. It feels like fun. Right now, I get to talk to a friend who is a lot of fun for me for many, many reasons. He is Pastor Jack Graham of the amazing Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas. He has a new book out

called The Jesus Book. Jack, my friend, welcome to the program. Great to be with you. You

were just with us, of course, for all your audience information and spoke, I don't know,

month or six weeks ago,

and just God's so moved in that service, and we're still hearing the response and just your

call and your challenge, and you are loved here at our church and in Texas, all the way from

where you live in New York. You are, we're going to make you actually maybe an honorary Texan. We'll give you some boots the next time you're here. Well, let me tell you, I feel like an honorary Texan. I think I have more friends in the DFW area than I do in New York City, and I'm not kidding. And they know who they are. It's true. Every time I get to Texas,

I get happy. And when I've had the privilege, and I do consider it a privilege to step into

the pulpit at your church, I feel so honored. I want to tell you. But you, you know,

you and I were very serious about the things of God. We're very serious about loving

America, but we know how to have fun. And you're one of those people. I get around you, and I don't think you're even aware of it. You say stuff, and you just, you just crack me up. You just have so a way about you. So you're just fun to be around. And that's kind of my highest compliment, Jack.

If people are funny around, that's it.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I like that.
