Welcome to Offscript, a Southland Christian Church podcast. Each week, we sit down with our teacher to talk through what didn't make it into Sunday sermon. Thoughts, stories, or questions that got left off the manuscript, but still matter. Thanks for being with us. Let's jump in.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. Neil, what did you do to your head? This is the first thing I'm going to say. your head did you cut yourself shaven I did it's bad I'm on this side today because I'm distracting is it bad oh no it's fine I'll work past it I'll get through it but I was just horrified just now as you turned your head I was like he took a chunk out of his head it was really bad I was I was rushing in the morning I had to just get. And when I felt it, I was like, oh, that was weird. And I reached back and I went, this is going to be really bad. Yeah. If my son Silas is listening to the podcast right now, he's already fainted. You can't, you can't even talk about blood around him. Should we warn people? Nah, that's okay. Hopefully nobody drove off the road or something like that. No, yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be wearing a hat. So we were talking about the Godfather before this, and I need to get something off my chest. Okay. All right. So somebody stopped me the other day, and he was being very lighthearted about it, but he's like, hey, we've watched die hard because of you. Yeah. And we had some middle school boys in the room, and there's like a scene that they didn't need to see hold on hold I'm not endorsing the not made for TV versions of certain movies so let's just get that out there so if you didn't read the parent guide before you showed it in front of your kids that's that one you. So it's your, it's one of your favorite movies as an adult.

You're not saying, hey, let's watch this. Yeah, it's not really one of my favorite movies.

It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.

So the Godfather is my favorite movie.

And there's a couple scenes in there that if you're not watching the made for TV-TV version, I wouldn't say watch that with your

kids. That's fair. The first one especially, which you thought was not good and slow and boring.

Hold on. I said, when is it going to get better? Which implies that it's not good. No, that I,

there was room for improvement. I think that's fair to be. Well, some people do love part two better than part one. I'm looking forward. This whole thing started because you text me other day and said, I can't wait to find out what your favorite movie is. And so I thought in preparation for when you asked that question, I'm going to see what the Godfather's all about. I didn't text that to you. I said I know what your favorite movie is and it's newsies. It's not newsies anymore.

You said that in an interview once and somehow still got a job.

I did.

I don't know how he got a job anywhere, much less here if that's your favorite movie.

I can like music in movies and dancing.

You had all of cinematic history to choose from i know i know i could have

said yeah i know i could have said citizen cane or anything like that moments uh this was many years ago

on staff a staff person's wife we were all asking like that question what's your favorite best movie

of all time yeah she said con air con air yes of all time. And she said Con Air. Con Air. Yes. Of all of cinematic history, she chose that one. Steve a Shemmy? Not one of Nicholas Cage's best acting. Oh, man. He's not a good actor anyway. No, he's not. But Con Air, it's not the worst of the Nicholas Cage movies. I would say it's the best movie of all time either. No, it's not Ghost Rider. That's one of the worst of Nicholas Cage. We are started off. Way off the hinges. Here we are Mother's Day. We're on Mother's Day. It's the Freedom Series. We're hitting Galatians. I was excited because we've been like teasing Galatians 5-1 all series. You've always ended your sermons with that,

and we finally got to get to it this week. Were you excited about that? Yeah, and it was funny

because I referenced, hey, we're starting today where we've been ending. This is like the

Cliffs Notes of Galatians. There were definitely a ton of people who had no clue what I was talking about when I said the Cliffs Notes. That's surprising. How many of you're old like me and there was a fair amount of hands that went up for sure, but there were a bunch of people like, I don't know what you're talking about. So I can picture them still. Oh, yeah. Well, there's Cliff Notes and then they transferred over to Spark Notes because it was just the online version of Cliff Notes.

Yeah, that was past my time, but I do remember people referring to that for sure.
