Howdy and welcome to the Breakaway Podcast. Thanks for listening. Breakway is a Bible study recorded on the campus of Texas

theanum University.

Today's message is from Breakway's executive director

Timothy Attique.

We hope you enjoy the message. Well, so my first breakaway on a Tuesday night, as the executive director of Breakway was on August 30, 2016.

And what I want to do is I just want to give you a behind the scenes look at what the 24 hours

leading up to my first Tuesday night as the executive director looked like.

Okay, just a few days before actually the 24 hours leading up to my first breakaway.

I was with my staff and my staff asked me if I wanted to have bomb dogs at Breakway.

And when they said that, honestly the thought that popped into my mind was I was like,

what are bomb dogs? Is that like a food truck and like their specialty item is called bomb dogs and they're like no

they're dogs that actually sniff bombs do you want those at breakaway and I was like

okay I just stepped into a position that's on a level where things have to be thought about that I've just not thought about before.

And so that was a few days before.

And then we got to within 24 hours of the first breakaway and our crew was setting up Rita Arena on the

Monday before the Tuesday and so I went up there and they were setting up the stage and they were putting it in the middle of the arena.

They were setting it up in the round and the plan, the expectation, we were expecting

about 10,000 students to show up and so when I saw that massive

stage being set up the honest I'm being honest the thought that went into my mind was

oh my gosh they are setting up that stage

for me to speak on it to 10,000 people.

And some of y'all are like, that sounds amazing.
