This is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This Podcast.

Well, guys, if you missed it, we just had if gathering and it was incredible it was our

10-year celebration and it was so much fun and I'm so grateful for what if gathering

means to so many of you.

And I love hearing your stories.

In fact, if you can send me,

like whatever stories you want to send

from the last 10 years of what God has done in your life, we would all love to hear it. So find a way, get

on Instagram, tell us, like this is what if gatherings meant to me. But guys, if you missed it,

let me just tell you something pretty big that happened, which was we announced Gather 25,

which is a global gathering of the entire church that we are working on right now currently.

It is going to be in lieu of if gathering in 2025 it is March 1st 2025 and I have

been working on this for a year and a half now what I'm excited about to do with you

today is give you the behind the scenes everybody got to hear it on Saturday, the big announcement,

and we're going to play it for you in just a minute. But what I want to do today for you is tell you the story.

So first, I want you to hear the announcement, what a lot of people heard on Saturday, and then I'm

going to tell you a little bit of how we've gotten here. There was one morning last year when I woke up from a dream.

And the dream had left me with a question that I couldn't stop thinking about.

What if Jesus came back in 10 years?

If we knew he was coming and coming soon, what would we do?

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus himself told us to be ready,

for the Son of Man is coming at an hour we don't expect.
