It is awesome to have all of you with us today at all of our life churches and our network

churches.

Those of you on the other side of computer screens all over the world at church online,

we are beginning a brand new message series called The Outlasters.

You may say, what is the outlaster?

That is actually a word I made up and I will give you the story behind it.

What I want to do over the next few weeks is actually ask you to do something challenging

for a lot of people to do.

I want you to think about what happens after your life is complete.

Now anytime you bring up the subject, a lot of people are like, I am just trying to pay

the bills and I don't want to talk about death and all that kind of stuff.

Many people are hesitant including my wife Amy.

Anytime I say, hey, maybe if something happens to me, here is what I want you to know or

do, she is all like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

say it.

Like that is going to jinx it and I am going to be dead by Tuesday or whatever.

You know, she just doesn't want to talk about it and I want to go ahead and challenge

you to talk about it because it can be really, really helpful.

For whatever reason, I am not afraid to talk about death part of this because I have

done the research and fully one out of one people die.

It is a research show.

And so, you know, that is part of the reason.
