All right, so we are here today in the studio, and it is an exciting time for me because I can have a moment and an interview that I wanted to do for a long

time with someone who was very special and very dear to my heart. Growing up in my household,

the Word of God was given a place of primacy and was a very big deal. We love the

Word of God. It was placed in us by our grandparents, by our parents. And so periodically,

when we get together as a family, we can sit down and we can look at the Bible. We can talk

scripture. And one of my. We can talk scripture.

And one of my favorite people to talk scripture with is with me today.

I want to bring on the broadcast.

My brother, Joel Ershin, he is in Cincinnati, Ohio, pastoring a dynamic church there.

Many of you follow his podcast there at his church, and he has a dynamic ministry, and it's my honor and blessing to call him my brother and my best friend. So he is here

today, and Joel, it's good to see you, man. Man, it's great to be here.

Thank you for letting me join in, excited to be part of the podcast today.

Yeah, look at this.

We usually have to do this kind of thing in the living room at home.

That's right.

We have to kind of wait for a holiday or something to come around.

Yeah, early in the morning.

Usually what happens is one of us will get up before the other and we'll get the coffee going.

And one of us will grab a lazy boy and the other one will come shuffling in.

Then it's time to talk about the word of God.

That's right.

And those are special times because it's a time where we are able to share.
