Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of helping you learn God's Word.

Pastor Mark Driscoll here from Real Faith.

Happy to report.

We're now seeing over a billion impressions a year staggering as God's Word is going faster and further than ever.

I'm really excited to help you learn the scriptures, and if you would do me a favor,

give a gift of any amount, and help me get Bible teaching to someone who needs it and hasn't yet heard it.

You're a visionary man, a builder.

You're always like, all right, this is where we're at it, this is where we're going.

And you've just built something for 18 years.

And now you've got adult kids that are on the verge of being adult kids.

Like, emotionally, where were you at in that moment and where were you where was your head going?

I didn't think I'd be a pastor again. I wasn't sure I'd plan a church again. We were living in this

this is kind of the ecclesiastes part. So we were living in this garbage VRBO. It's just stunk and

smelled like Satan's feet and like we hated it and the dog

shedding and we don't fit and it's hot outside and we had a pool but the bunny rabbits kept jumping

in it commit suicide. So every day I'm fishing dead bunny rabbits out of the pool and the kids

are just sweating and they're like we love to jump in in the pool, but it's full with dead bunny rabbits.

And I'm in my 40s going like, this isn't going well.

Like this isn't what I was thinking, like unemployed canceled, fishing dead rabbits out of a stinky VRBO.

And I'll never forget.

It was somewhere in that season.
