This is a Salaback Church podcast.

We're in the second week of a message series called Beyond the Book. I've loved this

series so far. What we're doing is we're taking five books with five authors, five Christian

authors who've written great books, have powerful messages that our church needs to hear.

And so today we have the privilege of having with us Pastor Rich Velotis, and Pastor Rich

is the lead pastor of New Life Fellowship. It's in Queens in the heart of New York City.

And they're doing great ministry. He's been the lead pastor there for 13 years,

pouring his life out. He and his wife Rosie have two kids, their daughter, Karas, which is an

awesome name. That's my daughter's name as well. And their son Nathan, and they're faithfully giving

their lives to see God's kingdom come in New York City. And it's such an encouragement as a church family to be able to gather together and even

unite hearts with people that are serving across our country and ultimately across the

world for some of our campuses.

And so Pastor Rich is going to bring a message based on his book, The Narrow Path.

So will you please put your hands together

and give a warm saddleback.

Welcome to Pastor Rich Belknit.

Such a joy.

What a joy to be here.

What a joy to worship with you

and lift our voices in song to Jesus.

I want to thank Pastor Andy for the kind and generous invitation to be here.

This community has been a gift to my life over the years.
