Howdy and welcome to the Breakaway podcast. Thanks for listening.

Breakway is a Bible study recorded on the campus of Texas A&M University. Today's message is from Breakway's executive director, Timothy Atique. We hope you enjoy the message.

I want to start just with a really important big announcement.

Next Tuesday night, we're going to be pushing pause on the series that we've been in called

Becoming a Leader Worth Following because next week, former director of Breakway, Ben Stewart

will be here to speak and it will be an incredible night.

So if you don't know who Ben is, I promise you, you will want to be here next week.

So make sure when we open up tickets, you get your tickets early.

I personally believe that Ben is one of the best and most effective Bible teachers and communicators in our nation today.

So I'm so excited for you to get to hear from him.

And Ben actually has a lot to do with this message that we're talking about tonight.

Following Ben at breakway has actually been one of the hardest parts of leadership for me over the last five years.

One of the reasons that it's been so hard for me to follow after Ben is simply because people love telling me how much they love Ben.

So I'll just give you some examples. I remember before

I came to breakaway, I walked into this place and this girl saw me and she had heard me speak

on the breakaway podcast and she said, I heard you on the breakway podcast. I love Ben Stewart.

And I was like, cool.

So that happened.

And then I remember I was preaching in Austin, and man, I preached my heart out.

I had just finished.

I stepped down the steps from the stage, and this guy met me at the stage.

He said, you're taking over break while?
