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

We're so excited to announce this year's Shalom Project. This year, we're turning our attention to four key needs in our world today.

Together, we want to provide medical care for sex trafficking survivors in New England, offer access to safe drinking water to the people of Liberia,

build peace centers for children subjected to the conflict in Sudan, and share the story of Jesus in the heart language of unreached people groups in Central Asia. If you'd like more information on how to be involved, visit our website at breakaway ministries.org slash shalom. We hope you'll consider partnering with us in the Shalom project this year and enjoy the podcast.

Amen. Well, howdy? All right. It's good to see you guys tonight. I figured I'd start tonight just with a time of confessional, you know, a heart that's well as a heart that tells. So I

just want to be honest and confess two things to you. The first thing I want to confess is I went to church on

Sunday and got nothing out of it. The second thing that I want to confess to you is it was completely

my fault. So here's the story. I was out of town with my three boys. My wife was out of town

and a different place. And so I was out of town with my three boys. My wife was out of town in a different place,

and so I was out of town with my three boys,

and I decided to go to a church that I know in love.

It's actually an incredible church with an incredible pastor

who I think gave an incredible message on Sunday.

I say that because there was other people who I was with who said that the message was

awesome. But for me, I showed up and I stood there and we began to sing songs. But as we

sang songs, I just began to daydream. And as I began to daydream, I began to ponder all of these

different aspects of life.

And so there were these moments where I would kind of snap back into reality,

and I would sing like half of a line and like halfway through the line,

I would begin to daydream again.

And then the pastor got up to give a sermon.

It was a very gospel-centered sermon because I would check in from time to time.
