Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining. I am back in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Mr. Will Gillette.

Hi, Emma. How's it going? So good. Will, I'm so glad you're here. Thanks for taking some time out of work to come record with us.

Thanks for having me. Well, we met today, and so I would love to hear a little bit of your story. How'd you come to know Christ? And then fast forward, what's going on in your life now?

Absolutely. I was fortunate to be raised in a Christian home by two loving parents that introduced me to Jesus at a young age. And so I became saved at a young age. It was Mr. Youth Group growing up. Nice. But, you know, found my identity quickly in pride and achievement later and struggled with lust and control in my high school and college years. And, you know, really did not fully understand

the depravity of my sin and the goodness of my Savior.

And so by God's grace, through a ministry in college

and through coming to Watermark,

he began to reveal to me more clearly the depth of my sin

and my need for a Savior.

And so, you know, yep, praise Jesus for that. Yeah.

Now I've been around Watermark for about a decade, spend the past 12 years in risk management consulting.

Nice. I have no clue what that is. Basically, we help companies manage their problems. Okay,

like that kind of like that seems like a very important job. It's a lot of fun.

But one of the greatest privileges my life is getting to disciple students through Watermark's

Wake and Shoreline Ministries. How amazing. What grade are your boys in? They graduated a few years ago.

Oh, so now they're in college. They're in college right now. All grown up. All grown up.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

A lot of life you get to live with those guys and their families over seven years.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And you just had a baby girl?
